Rate hike in store for town’s utility customers BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
A $5 million utilities budget was passed for Greater Napanee, which means an increase of 2.5 per cent for customers. Council passed the utilities budget — dealing with water,
wastewater and sewer — at a special budget meeting on Tuesday. The $5,085,768 budget is down from the 2014 budget, which was $5,874,704. The 2.5 per cent increase, which was recommended by staff, will mean an increase of about $4.38, on average, on customers’ bi-monthly bills.

“I think $4 every two months (is fair). I wonder how much somebody would spend in coffee and donuts at Tim Horton’s in two months, so I’m certainly going to support it,” said Mayor Gord Schermerhorn before voting in favour of the budget. There was some debate whether to pass the budget,

Deputy-mayor proposes 15-minute open forum for public BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA

Your Pets...... Our Privilege
A notice of motion has been put forward to allow members of the public to speak and ask questions to council and staff prior to each Greater Napanee regular council meeting. During the election, a number of those running for a chair around the council table mentioned the importance of local interaction with council. Some of those running noted that they would like to see a change in the next term, which would allow for an open question period during council meetings, allowing the public to engage with council and staff, ask questions,

cil. Should more information be required for the resident, it shall be provided either by direct correspondence with the resident or added to the agenda of the meeting to be dealt with by council. This motion is put forth to allow residents the time to speak to council and staff openly and directly and for council to respond in the same manner. It shall be a trial period of one year.” After a year, Isbester suggested that the open question period be evaluated and discussed in order to determine whether to continue with the practice or not. The next regular council meeting is scheduled for this coming Tuesday at 7 p.m.

At a regular council meeting in late January, Greater Napanee Deputy Mayor Marg Isbester announced a notice of motion that, if ultimately approved, would allow more public interaction with council, which was followed with agreement from a number of other councillors. “(It would) allow residents to speak to council and staff through the chair for a 15-minute period before each regular council meeting, timing such that it will be held at 6:30 p.m. or 6:45 p.m., depending on committee of adjustment requirement,” Isbester said. “Each person shall be given a fiveminute period of time for both questions and answers from staff and coun-

Quinte Detention Centre, a walkout might not necessarily be in the offing. Currently, OPSEU’s corrections workers are negotiating with the provincial government on a new contract. It’s one of two ‘units’ of OPSEU currently trying to hammer out a new deal with the province. Tom O’Neill, the president of Local 467 which represents workers at Quinte Detention Centre, as well as the chair of the corrections negotiating team for OPSEU, said that there is still plenty of negotiating left to be done with the province before a strike becomes imminent. Further, he said that if past history is any indication, negotiations could go down to the very last minute. “We’ve come down to
the wire (in previous negotiations with the government),” he said. “We’ve been on strike twice since 1996, but most times we’ve been able to bargain a contract, and many times it does come down to the wire.” Talks have been ongoing between the two sides since September, he said. He said that the other “central unified” OPSEU bargaining table has reached an impasse, and both sides are now in the midst of negotiating essential services — determining what employees must report to work to “protect life, health and safety” — should a strike occur. In the past, said O’Neill, those negotiation have taken several months to complete. He said that the corrections table hasn’t reached

the point of an impasse, for now. “That’s not to say that it won’t happen in the near future, but we’re not there yet.” O’Neill did say, however, that the union won’t accept “zeroes” in terms of wage increases in the upcoming contract after two years of wage freezes under the previous contract. “Our members have given us (the negotiating team) a clear mandate,” he said. “Our goal is to get a deal, our goal is not to bargain a strike. But, the government is not moving on some key stuff.” OPSEU and corrections workers aren’t the only provincial employees in the midst of contract talks with the government. In fact, some 3,000 Community Care Access Centre workers across the province walked out this past Friday after members of the Ontario Nurses’ Association refused to accept a wage freeze. “Contingency plans are being implemented in all impacted CCACs to support the ongoing provision of priority services to patients during this labour disruption. The safety and well-being of patients remains the top priority. CCAC staff not represented by ONA will continue to work during the labour disruption,” the Southeast Community Care Access Centre, which covers all of Lennox and Addington, stated in a post on the agency’s website. The province is also in the midst of negotiations with the Ontario Provincial Police and teachers.

Foundation puts finishing touches on MRI gala Event planned for next Thursday will be first at former Westdale Park school site
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Thursday marks the first annual Lennox and Addington County General Hospital Foundation Gala, which will be attended by over 200 people to support a second magnetic resonance imaging unit machine at Kingston General Hospital. Though the gala’s focus will be on raising funds for a new magnetic resonance imaging unit, it is highly anticipated for more reasons than that.
“This will be our first event at the auditorium at the Westdale complex,� said Robert Paul, Chair of the LACGH Foundation Board. “That’s a neat part of this too is that it kind of unveils somewhat what we’ve been doing for our community there. People are going to find that it’s really not a gymnasium anymore; it’s an auditorium. It’s completely equipped and stocked and we’re quite impressed with that. So it’s sort of a two-fold event,� he said. “I’ve seen it go from being a school to the audito-
rium. It’s beautifully decorated, we’re very proud of that,� added Michelle Dickerson, LACGH Foundation executive director. A second MRI unit is necessary at the Kingston General Hospital since the current MRI machine is in such high demand. Paul said patients from L&A make up for a quarter of the MRI users in Kingston, which is why he feels it’s necessary for Napanee to support the cause. “We felt our community certainly uses those facilities, about 25 per cent of it,
so we thought it would be important to show our support for it. So that’s the idea of this gala, to support this event, with the theme ‘Helping KGH help the community of Lennox and Addington County,’� explained Paul. The cost of the MRI is about $6 million, none of which is funded through government grants or support. “I think they’ll be really, really pleased with the support from our community,� said Paul, unable to comment on how much be believes will be raised by the gala. He did say that he is

confident they will meet their fundraising goal and a final count will be announced at the gala. “It’s a real joint venture between the community and the hospital partnerships. The foundation, the hospital and the auxiliary are the operating partners of the hospital and the physicians, obviously, are a big part of the hospital. So those four groups within this organization each contributed to this gala,� said Paul, explaining how the idea of a fundraising gala came to surface.
Dickerson said tickets are still available for next Thursday’s gala. Entertainment is being brought in from Quebec for the event and representatives from KGH will also be attending the gala. The reception is from 6:30-7:30 p.m. on Feb. 12, followed by dinner, entertainment and speeches. Dickerson expects the gala to wrap up by 9:30 p.m. To order tickets contact Dickerson a 613 354 3301 ext. 400 or by email, at: foundation@lacgh.napanee.on.ca.

Preliminary hearing outlines how tribunal will assess controversial water-taking permit
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
The Ontario Environmental Review Tribunal held a preliminary hearing last week regarding a citizens’ appeal against a dewatering permit for the Melrose quarry, and set hearing dates for mid-May. Hugh Wilkins chaired the meeting on Friday on behalf of the Environmental Review Tribunal. Andrea Huckins spoke as counsel for the Director of the Ministry of the Environment, along with Peter Taylor, Manager of Technical Support for the Eastern Region. A. E. Fleming spoke as counsel for department holder C. H. Demill Holdings Inc. Richard Lindgren and Joseph Castrilli spoke counsel for the appellant, citizens against the Melrose quarry. “The subject matter of this hearing is an appeal by the Citizens against the Melrose Quarry,� explained Wilkins during Friday’s public hearing. “It’s for taking water at the Melrose Quarry.� The take water permit allows C.H. Demill Holdings Inc. to pump up to four million litres of water a day. Wilkins said the concerned citizens filed to appeal the Environmental Bill of Rights on Nov. 7, 2014, “as a result of the decision dated Oct. 27 to appeal under Section 1 of the Environmental Bill of Rights, with respect to a
Permit to Take Water, which was issued by the Director of the Ministry of Environment on June 27, 2014, under Section 34 of the Ontario Water Resources Act,� Wilkins continued. Friday’s preliminary hearing was held in the Tyendinaga Township council chambers on Friday in order for all involved parties in the tribunal to meet and set dates. The hearing is set to take about 90 days until completion. Wilkins opened the meeting up to the public, asking if any other parties wanted to be added to the hearing. “The purpose of today’s preliminary hearing is to identify parties. There are a number of people who are already parties but for those who are not, the public is able to request party status,� he said, without anyone stepping forward. “We’ll identify the main issues for the hearing, determine the length, schedule, and location of the hearing itself. (We’ll) hear any preliminary motions, arrange for the exchange among the parties of all documents that are relevant to the proceedings, and also provide for the exchange among the parties and the tribunal itself of witness lists, witness statements, resumes of any expert witnesses, and documents referred to in those witness statements, along with any other documents that will

be replied upon by a party in the hearing itself.� The meeting was about an hour long. Further meetings are said to take place at the Township of T y e n d i n a g a Recreation Hall but that location has not yet been confirmed. March 31 and April 1 is the deadline for motion dates, followed by appellant statements on April 2. Ministry of Environment statements are due by April 17 and reply statements are due by April 24. The three parties and the chair have scheduled a teleconference for April 27 to give a status update before the hearing. The hearing dates have been set for May 19-22 and May 25-26.

As volunteers for the past 23 years under the supervision of Napanee Seniors Outreach Services as Line Dance Teachers, we have decided to retire.
We want to thank all the people who came out to the classes over the years. We started out at the Old Arena and the classes were so successful they went from Monday to Monday, Wednesday and Friday. When the Old Arena closed, facilities at S.O.S. were too crowded for the class sizes. Space at the New Arena wasn’t always available. We were so pleased that the Napanee Royal Canadian Legion, Mill St. had space available Mondays and Wednesdays to keep the classes going again. So thank you to all the Legion staff over the years for your accommodation, time and for any parties or social space you made available. Thanks to all the people who attended the large Sunday afternoon Christmas parties at the Lion’s Hall and made them such a success and the Summer Strawberry Picnics and Parties at the Riverside Gazebo, again so successful. Special thanks to ARC Industries Kids who were always available to help with Heavy Equipment. We called them THE ACHY BREAKY ARCS. Special thanks to the people from our Regular Dance Class who volunteered their time and joined our Blue Iris Dance Team and made themselves available with the Team to visit Senior Nursing Homes and Hospitals in L&A County and surrounding Counties and Towns and had the Seniors Singing and Dancing all these years and they were always saying “When are you coming back?” Special thanks to Wendy McDonald, Executive Director and Staff at L&A SOS who always supported us.

Kids presentation focuses on feathered friends BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
This Saturday’s instalment of Lennox and Addington County’s Museum Kids’ program will be for the birds — in a good way.
Kingston Field Naturalist’s Mark Read will be on hand to deliver a presentation entitled ‘Winter Birds’ which highlights the many birds found throughout the county this time of year. With more than 350 different species
soaring through L&A’s airways throughout the year, the county is a birdwatcher’s haven. Read’s talk will cover which birds visit throughout winter, as well as offering tips on where to spot them. He’ll also bring with
him a collection of stuffed specimens such as a cardinal, yellow finch and rednecked grebe. All of the birds in his collection died of natural causes and were preserved for educational purposes. “A lot of the birds should be familiar to the children, or at least the parents,” said Read. “You can try to gage what the bird eats by its beak or perhaps its feet. You can look at the colours of the feathers to interpret how they camouflage themselves.” Guests to the talk will have a chance to hold the specimens and feel just
how soft their feathers can be. Kids will also have the opportunity to construct their own bird out of paper and take part in a couple of other activities. He’ll also offer tips on how to attract certain types of birds to a backyard feeder. Read, whose passion for birds shines through when he talks about them, says he hopes more people will take an interest in bird watching. Often times, he says, people are surprised at the diversity of the bird population in L&A County, noting he’s documented over 100 different types in the month of January
alone. The beauty of the hobby, however, is that it can be pursued anywhere, worldwide. “You can go birding just about anywhere,” said Read. “It’s a hobby where even if you’re going to town you can still see pigeons flying over, you can see sparrows feeding at your feet. They are absolutely everywhere and there’s so much variety.” The free presentation starts at 10 a.m. and is part of a monthly series know as the Museum Kids. The L&A Museum and Archives is located at 97 Thomas St. E in Napanee.

EDITORIAL
What makes a good platform? It was interesting to hear of the ‘attack’ made by one Ontario Progressive Conservative hopeful, Patrick Brown, on one of his competitors, MPP Christine Elliott, during the first Ontario PC leadership debate recently. As far as attacks go, it was pretty mild, but given the way leadership debates tend to go — kid gloves are the order of the day — it was harsher than most. During the debate, Brown chastised Elliott because she stood “shoulder to shoulder with Tim Hudak and the 100,000 job cuts (pledge).” That pledge, to eliminate 100,000 jobs from the public service, was undoubtedly the most controversial element of the PCs’ campaign platform, and it’s been generally pointed to as the main reason why the PCs not only failed to topple the governing Liberals, but ceded them a majority government in the process. Certainly, many Tory candidates, including our own MPP Randy Hillier, admitted it was a tough sell to voters once the election dust had settled. And, during the debate, Elliott made a point of distancing herself from the pledge. “I would like to start by dispelling Patrick’s myth that I knew anything about the 100,000 job cuts before the election… Let me say categorically that neither me nor any of my caucus colleagues had any knowledge of it, and that’s why our party needs to change.” We can’t disagree with her on her final point — it seems unthinkable that the job of coming up with an election platform rested in the leader’s office alone, where Hudak and his advisors, and precious few else, developed the package that would presumably bring the party to power (as well as, presumably, provide the road map to how the PCs would govern). We also have to wonder if this is how all parties, at the provincial and federal level, develop their election platforms; we’re only getting a peek ‘behind the curtain’ because things went so off-the-rails with the Ontario Tories. The other interesting element of this dissection of the Ontario PCs, thanks to the leadership contest, is how it reveals just how much of a show an election campaign can be. Brown accused Elliott of standing “shoulder to shoulder” with Hudak and his pledge. Well, so was every other PC candidate during that campaign last June — at least, they were when the cameras and tape recorders were rolling. Brown said that the 100,000 job cuts pledge was a “crazy” idea. How so? Was it “crazy” because it was bad policy? Or, was it “crazy” because it simply didn’t resonate with voters? It also begs the question, is the ‘good’ election platform the one that strikes a chord with the electorate and gets the party elected, regardless of whether or not it’s actually good for the province, or the country? It’s something to keep in mind with another election campaign coming this October (or, perhaps, sooner). To be sure, there’ll be one party with a ‘good’ platform, and another two who (like the provincial Tories) will be left wondering where it all went off the rails.

Letter to the Editor
Best Christmas ever for local Salvation Army I have been working at the Napanee Salvation Army as the Community and Family Services Coordinator now for seven Christmases. I am still amazed each year of the generous community we have. The 2014 Christmas season was outstanding to the Salvation Army with the great response to the donations from the community. The 2014 Christmas season has been our best year yet for supporting our programs. Each year we assist approximately 250 households with Christmas hampers not to mention the 85 to 90 households we
support each month with food assistance through our food bank. I am proud to say that we do not have to turn anyone in need away thanks to the personal donators, the local businesses, media, churches and schools that go out of their way to help the Salvation Army provide supplies to those less fortunate. Also a large thank you to the community for reaching out and supporting the Poverty Reduction Committees Operation Warm Toes campaign. This year we were able to support 400 children with boots. I would also like to express my
gratitude to all of my volunteers that tirelessly donate their time to the variety of programs and services the Salvation Army provides to the community. Without you I just couldn’t possibly do my job. You are appreciated and make my job easier and more enjoyable. So again, I would like to say thank you Napanee and Area for allowing me and The Salvation Army to play a vital role in this community. Without all the continuous support we would not be able to give hope and provide services.

2015 Evergreen Awards list is out HE Ontario Library Association’s Evergreen Award is best described as the ‘readers’ choice’ of Canadian literary awards. Each year, a list of 10 nominees is selected by a committee of librarians in and in October, during Canadian Library Month, library patrons can vote on their favorite. The 2015 list, just announced on Jan. 29, features a diverse list of titles. It spans all genres, both fiction and non-fiction, and is well-representative of what Canadian authors have to offer Canadian readers. Between Gods by Alison Pick, a memoir, follows the author’s journey through family history. As a teenager, Alison made a discovery that her Pick grandparents, who had escaped from the Czech Republic during the Second World War, were Jewish — and that most of this side of the family had died in concentration camps. This knowledge compels her, as an adult, to consider Judaism. Forgiveness by Mark Sakamoto, another memoir that delves into family history, tells of the Second World War experiences
T
from of both sides of the author’s family. While his grandfather from eastern Canada was captured by the Japanese and lived out the war as a prisoner of war, his grandmother from Vancouver (of Japanese heritage), had her life was turned upside-down in the aftermath of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Juliet Was a Coles’ Surprise by Bill Gaston is an eclectic short story collection focusing on the human condition. Some stories are provocative, some are thoughtful and others are just plain weird – a good mix! Little Bastards In Springtime by Katja Rudolph follows Jevrem, a young boy growing up during the civil war in Sarajevo. A few years later, surviving the war, he moves with what’s left of his family to Toronto, where he turns to the life of a juvenile delinquent. The Lobster Kings by Alexi Zentner is an intriguing family saga told largely through the eyes of Cordelia Kings and Woody, her
father. The Kings, a family of lobster fishermen, have run things on Loosewood Island for almost three hundred years. Now, as Woody is aging, another band of lobstermen have begun to encroach on their territory. Medicine Walk by Richard Wagamese follows a sixteen year old boy named Franklin Starbright as he Notes accompanies his dying alcoholic father on the journey to what will be his burial place. Somewhere In France by Jennifer Robson follows Lady Elizabeth, a young woman who aspires to travel the world, pursue a career, and marry for love. When the First World War breaks out she joins Women’s Army Auxiliary Corp, a job that takes her dangerously close to the Western Front. There she falls precariously in love with a handsome Scottish surgeon. Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel tells the story of a Hollywood star, his would-be sav-
Catherine Coles
ior, and a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region in the aftermath of a pandemic that has killed off 99 per cent of the population. This Changes Everything by Naomi Klein is a provocative, indepth look how our existing economic model is waging war against the climate and, eventually, life on earth. The problem isn’t carbon, it is capitalism. Who By Fire by Fred Stenson follows a family living on a farm in 1960s Alberta. When a sour gas plant sets up camp next door, the effects on the family’s health, livestock, livelihood and relationships with each other are devastating. All of these titles are available to reserve in print and e-book formats at your branch of the County of Lennox and Addington Libraries. Read one of more of the Evergreen books and be sure to vote on your favourite come October. Catherine Coles is the manager of library services for L&A County.
Letter to the Editor
Bank of Canada’s interest rate reduction was the wrong move To be honest, as a retired citizen, I was furious that you, Stephen Poloz, Bank of Canada Governor, reduced the rate of borrowing for the banks from one per cent to .75 per cent. It is obvious that you have no consideration for retired Canadians who have no way to make a bigger income by taking money from us in this way, and giving it to those with too much debt. Frankly, these debtors have put themselves in that situation and by this action you have made it easier for them to get even further into debt. Retired people had nothing to do with this. Remember those of us who paid for our homes when interest rates were between 10 and 20 per cent? Nobody helped us out then, so why are you placing this debt squarely on the backs of retired people who do not have fat government or work pensions? Does this seem at all fair to you? To make matters worse, there are rumblings that you plan to reduce the rates even further, to .50 per cent in March and possibly .25 per cent later on! I am gobsmacked that this decision was made. For years now, interest rates
have been at levels that have cost those of us without the aforementioned pensions a huge percentage of our hard-earned savings, and you have effectively made it even worse. On top of this, governments at all levels increase our taxes because they can’t control their spending, and the cost of our services — very few of which impact on us in any way — keep rising as well. Yet again, we (you know, the ones who do not have fat government pensions) have to bear the brunt of these ludicrous decisions. Of course bonds will be affected negatively, the stock market will keep falling as we continue to be exploited from every direction. Not that long ago, the TSX was about 2,000 points above the DOW Jones and now, we are about 2,500 points behind, and our dollar continues to be devalued at astounding rates. Please try to explain this? Frankly, I am getting sick and tired of bailing out those who continually live in debt up to their eyeballs — they did it to themselves — and you have (again) added to the problem by making it even easier for them to borrow more money. Can’t you see this?
For retired folks, I guess the bank can’t wait to lower the interest rates of tax-free savings accounts that were already too low to produce anything but a negligible benefit anyway. With the devalued dollar the cost of food will go up as stores will tell us the Canadian dollar is worth less and imports of all kinds will cost more. Wow! I hope most Canadians will look for Canadian made or produced goods so our money will stay in Canada rather than go to other countries. If I can’t find what I am looking for in stores I do not get it unless it is something like orange juice, for example, that we can’t produce here. It is absolutely incredible to me that Canada imports potatoes from China, beets from India and many other products that are grown locally from other countries of the world. Who is keeping an eye on this? There is no reason that our farmers can’t produce these vegetables and help shrink our reliance on imports. We, the retirees and other groups who are sick and tired of continually being taken advantage of, should do this by simply refusing to buy
these imported products. How about it? Some of us occasionally dared to take a one-week-long vacation in the south. Now that you continue to devaluate the Canadian dollar, you have cut us off from that little bit of leisurely fun as well. I encourage others who agree with me to follow suit and speak up — it is important to our future. I will encourage them to write to you, the provincial, federal and local governments, demanding that someone comes to their senses and does what is right for Canada for a change. You do know that gas is now not as expensive as it was (no doubt OPEC has devalued oil to make it harder on those who cannot sell it as cheaply as they can); however, it seems strange that the US can still buy our oil and sell it cheaper to their customers, than we can purchase it in Canada. Go figure. Still worse, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is now threatening Ontarians that she will add a carbon tax under a pretense I do not believe (that is, the money will be used to reduce the debt. HA! It hasn’t been done yet,
so I am not sure who she thinks is foolish enough to believe that with more money, she will begin to do so now). I believe she just wants to cover her tracks of the over spending that has already taken place. That is the reality. Worse, the Ontario fovernment is talking about raising our taxes again, and will also likely increase taxes for those who work the hardest to be successful and have the initiative to better themselves and (here’s a distorted concept) give it those who can’t be bothered to do so. Can no one else see the folly of this twisted thinking? We are simply fed up with being pushed around. I will encourage people to stop allowing this happen to anymore without some sort of backlash. Retirees, we need to stop complaining between ourselves. We need to stand up and be heard, and, today is as good a day as any. So Mr. Poloz, when will you start to look out for us for once – not only because it is the right thing to do, but because we simply deserve it? Pierre Cliche, Napanee
Provincial pension plan could be burden for farmers: OFA Last year the Ontario government proposed the Ontario Retirement Pension Plan. The new plan would provide a predictable source of retirement income for those most at risk of under-saving and particularly middle-income earners without workplace pensions. The proposed ORPP could be a helpful program for the average Ontarian. But it may not be for farmers. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture will be submitting comments to MPPs and policymakers on the proposed retirement plan. Our comments outline concerns and considerations on how the ORPP will affect farm businesses. The
largest concern is that farmers have an array of legal structures, ownership and employee circumstances across agriculture. Many farmers are employers of family, part time and seasonal workers and may even employ themselves if the farm is incorporated. And that means new government programs must consider how they play out for farmers and the agriculture industry. That’s why the OFA is asking the Ontario government to consider a few points as they work through the details of the new ORPP. The OFA would like the government to conduct and divulge an impact analysis of the proposed ORPP to
fully assess the costs and isn’t recoverable. If we can’t benefits of the plan from recover the cost from sales, economic and social per- farmers will look to wage spectives.

ers. The pension contribution will be significant but be contrary to a key goal of the ORPP which is to keep pension funds working. The government appears to be struggling with the treatment of selfemployed Ontarians as it relates to the pension plan. OFA is recommending Ontario work with the federal government to enable self-employed workers to opt into the plan if they choose. More importantly, OFA is also recommending that farmers be eligible to draw funds from their own private pension savings to invest in farmland and farm capital. As farmers, investment in our farm businesses is
seen as a form of a selffunded pension, or retirement funds. Our choice of directing capital investments to our own businesses will help grow our businesses while serving as a viable form of private retirement savings planning. The proposed retirement pension plan for Ontario is intended to secure pension savings for those not currently saving enough. However, it is another employment burden on farm employers, a source of additional paperwork and a significant net cost to farm businesses. Mark Reusser is a member of the OFA board of directors

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago February 10, 1965 n The Napanee police chief said that he and his officers may have to start using deadly force in response to a number of dogs running around town, at-large. He said that the dogs were beginning to collect in packs. With an ongoing outbreak of rabies in the area, the loose dogs were also posing a public health problem. Chief Harry Benn said that the town’s current animal control by-law granted police the power to shoot animals that they believe posed a threat to human health. The chief also urged dog owners to make sure their pets were not running free. n The Ontario Water Resources Commission indicated that it would be willing to provide funding for a new water supply pipeline to local communities. The pipeline would “circulate in adequate supply… palatable water to areas and townships adjacent to the Napanee district.” The project was first proposed by OWRC officials a year earlier to address a lack of good, reliable water supplies in the area. The pipeline would take water from Lake Ontario and pipe it to Napanee, Deseronto, Bath and Odessa.
35 Years Ago February 7, 1980 n Talks between the Lennox and Addington County Board of Education and its secondary teachers hit a roadblock. The two sides had been negotiating for about one year on a new contract. A ‘fact-finding’ report a few months earlier had suggested the teachers receive a 6.5 per cent wage increase. The teachers had been asking for 12 per cent more, while the board was not offering any increase. Both sides agreed that a mediator from the Ministry of Labour be appointed to help solve the contract impasse. n Former federal Agriculture Minister and current Liberal MP Eugene Whalen was in the area to ‘stump’ for local Liberal candidate Ron Vastokas. Speaking at Ernestown Secondary School, he said that a proposed tax increase put forward by the Progressive Conservative government of Joe Clark would have a negative impact on the most vulnerable Canadians. “In a democracy,” said Whalen, “you tax those able to pay. The Clark budget was going to tax everybody regardless of the hardship it would impose.”

Napanee’s Royal Canadian Legion Branch 137 honoured its top members on Sunday with its annual award ceremony. Among the top honourees were (from left) Legionnaire of the Year Dave Haines, 65 consecutive years service medal recipient Frank Hamilton and lifetime member Dave Jones. Other notable honourees included 55 year consecutive service recipients Peter Coulson and Edna Hearns as well as 50 years consecutive service recipient Wayne Little.
Do you recall house calls? During horse-and-buggy days, the bulk of the patients for which a doctor provided medical attention fell under the category of ‘house calls’. While he or she did have an office with the appropriate equipment, most people only made use of medical services if it were absolutely crucial. As a result, the majority waited until they were too sick to travel to the town or village, with the result the local ‘sawbones’ was quickly summoned in an effort to save the day — and the life! Even in the 1920s, when telephones became more common, desperation calls roused the beleaguered general practitioner from his bed to handle emergencies. Finances were indeed a factor in this whole scenario. There was no OHIP until 1959, and, especially during the Great Depression, just having enough money to buy food, clothing and shelter came first and foremost. Medical attention was too often neglected — or home remedies attempted. Hence, only the utmost urgency prompted the average family to call upon a doctor. So, when a country physician did attend to needs, he often left a house

If he were fortunate, a practitioner had a Model T Ford with half-tracks and runners (snowmobile), in which he could ride with more comfort — if the white stuff was not too deep. The breakup of roads in the spring often forced him to trade to protection of his car for a buggy as well. Many who grew up and lived in that era have fond memories of their own doctor, whether bearing the kindly deportment of television’s Dr. Welby, or a crusty personality, sitting on the edge of their bed, carefully diagnosing the ailment, and opening his little black bag from which to retrieve the appropriate pills or bottle of (foul-tasting) medicine. Just his or her presence was therapeutic, regardless of the needed remedy. Modern physicians do not have it easy — they have long hours and challenges unknown to those from earlier days. But even they will agree — old timers never said, “Take and aspirin and call me in the morning!”

New trade show doubles as food drive
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Though many donated to local food drives over Christmas, the need for donations remains year round, which is why one
local woman is planning a winter food drive and trade show in Greater Napanee. The event will take place at the Strathcona Banquet Hall this Sunday, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. It will include over 40 vendors and lots of activities for kids.
Jodi Lee Atkinson has been planning the event with her good friend, Pamela Jones, for well over a year. The two hope to make the event annual, or semi-annual, in Greater Napanee. “Most food banks run

on donations and while a great emphasis is put on the need around Christmas, there are still so many families that cannot afford to properly eat for the rest of the winter months and the rest of the year. Children go to school

with no lunches and parents go without so that their children can eat. “It’s hard to understand how difficult it is to live (like this), if it’s never been your reality,” said Atkinson, who says she knows all too well what it’s like to have to rely on a local food bank. “Eleven years ago I was a young, single mom finishing school and struggling all around. The Napanee (Salvation Army) Food Bank was often the only way that I could make groceries stretch until the end of the month,” Atkinson explained. “I am incredibly grateful for the help they provided for my young family, especially in the colder months when the cost of winter clothes and heating bills made meal planning even more of a stress.” The cost of the event is $2 or a non-perishable food item at the door. Additional food donations will be accepted throughout the
event. “There will be refreshments and door prizes, as well as a huge selection of raffle prizes. The raffle tickets will be $1 or a food donation; bring 10 cans, get 10 tickets,” said Atkinson. The event will include Lily the Fairy, a face-painting artist, and photos provided by Imagine You Photography. Part of the proceeds from those will also benefit the food bank. “The purpose of this event is to not only bring attention to some amazing local businesses, but to provide as much support as we can to the food bank, through donations and awareness,” said Atkinson. “I do think people who’ve never had to use such a service really overlook how important it is,” Atkinson continued. “We feel it’s incredibly important to support those in need of support, especially if you have the means to do so.”

Town partners with Deseronto on transit plan BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Greater Napanee council has agreed to become a “key partner” in Deseronto Transit to help work toward routes to Kingston. The Deseronto Transit committee sent a letter to the Town of Greater Napanee outlining the request, which stated that as a “key partner” the municipality would be required to provide an “in-kind donation” of staff ’s time and resources to help plan and collaborate in 2015, as well as provide up to $5,000 in 2016. The purpose of this request is to allow Deseronto Transit to apply for the Ministry of Transportation grant in the amount, up to $100,000 in funding, which would be used to expand services to Kingston. Greater Napanee council
agreed to these requests with some amendments, becoming a “key partner” in Deseronto Transit, during a regular council meeting in late January. Ward 3 councillor Roger Cole, who is the Greater Napanee council representative on the Deseronto Transit committee, said he thinks supporting Deseronto Transit is wise but cautioned council as to what is expected in becoming a key partner. “I was concerned when I saw this initially because it basically is asking for a long-term commitment after the two years. That’s the consideration that we have to think about, but I really do think it’s a worthwhile project,” Cole said. “From what I understand, is that the ‘key’ part means that we’ll continue to support it after that period of time (2016). So my
thought is... add to this and say that at the end of such time, meaning two years, a full report regarding feasibility, expected ridership, cost and expected partnership with participation will be sent prior to any additional Greater Napanee commitment. At the end of two years, we should have an idea as to what sort of commitment will be required,” Cole added. He later made a motion to accept Deseronto’s request to support Deseronto Transit and added the above amendment to that motion. “I am happy to accept your amendments to the resolution but I think we should finally take a look with more seriousness with this issue. This is a great cost alternative for us, it will allow more people to migrate here, stay here. I feel bad for the people who not just in Napanee
but in the perimeter, who have to work and have no wheels to get to work,” said Ward 5 councillor Shaune Lucas. He said there was some discussion previously regarding Deseronto Transit meetings being held in Napanee and said the municipality should push for that if it plans to become a key partner. This would help to direct Deseronto Transit to expand in ways that will also benefit Greater Napanee. “I definitely think that we should look at that. There are people in Adolphustown, Roblin, who need some cost-efficient alternatives,” said Lucas. Ward 1 councillor Mike Schenk wanted to know what was involved in the “in-kind donation of staff support,” and whether it would require further financial support from the municipality. However, staff and
council were unable to determine exactly what would be required or requested from staff. “I really don’t know, to be honest with you,” said Mayor Gord Schermerhorn. “At this point in time, I haven’t seen any details of any kind for staff,” added Chief Administrative Officer Ray Callery. “The only limit that I suggest, is that staff will support with any resources we have without any external or any additional resources,” he suggested. It was brought up that L&A Seniors Outreach Services is applying for the same grant. Schermerhorn said there is not very much funding to go around. “There’s only a million dollars, by the way, for the province of Ontario — across the whole province. So chances of anybody getting any money is going to be very slim,” said Schermerhorn.

WHAT DO WEALTHY CANADIANS DO DIFFERENTLY?
HERE ARE 7 HABITS THAT CAN HELP YOU SAVE MORE AND INCREASE YOUR WEALTH.
By Jim Yih Far too often we are lured by the thought that there may be a shortcut to wealth. We all dream about winning the lottery, or investing in the next great investment, or starting a wonder business that becomes a license to print money. I was up late this week and I had the TV running in the background only to hear an infomercial about a stock trading system guaranteed to make your rich. Our society is filled with schemes to go from rags to riches in less time than you think. If it is really so easy, why is 80% of the wealth in Canada in the hands of 20% of the people? What are these 20% doing right to accumulate the majority of the wealth in Canada? Numerous books and studies have tried to answer this question so here are my seven habits of wealthy Canadians. They save regularly. Wealth is not built by accident and contrary to popular belief wealth is not inherited. 80% of the wealthy are first generation and they built their wealth one step at a time. One of the key habits wealthy people possess is a sys-
tematic disciplined savings plan. The best way for anyone to develop this habit is to start an automatic monthly savings plan where money comes off your paycheck or out of your bank account before any other expenses or deductions. Studies suggest that wealthy Canadians save about 20% of their income. They live below their means. According to the book the Millionaire Next Door by Thomas Stanley and William Danko, you may be surprised at what a wealthy person looks like. According to their research, the typical wealthy person might not be the one that drives the nice new Mercedes, living in the biggest house, wearing the top designer clothes. Rather, the millionaire next door is the person living in the same bungalow they have lived in for the past 20 years, they may drive a nice car but it is an older well taken care of car with lower mileage. They know where their money is going. Most wealthy people not only live below their means but they also are very conscious of where they spend their money. In fact, studies suggest
TM E F I L R O F MONEY T
IREMEN YOUR RET

LIFE NEY FOR
YOUR MO
that about two thirds of wealthy people know exactly where they are spending their money. If you want to become wealthy, you should develop a habit of tracking where you are spending your money on a monthly basis. Budgeting can be a very intimidating work but the fact remains, it is an essential habit for wealth accumulation. They use debt prudently. Wealthy Canadians make a very conscious effort to avoid, minimize and pay off debts. It is so easy in our society to access debt. Every week, I get mail offering lines of credit, credit cards and access to other forms of debt. “No Money down”, “Don’t pay till 2008 , “interest free” are all common ploys to get you to spend money you don’t have. It is so enticing but, one of the habits you’ll need to build wealth is to avoid spending money you don’t have. They maximize income. In a study by Statistics Canada, there is a correlation between wealth and income. The more money people make the more likely they are to build wealth faster. While this makes intuitive sense, it may not always be easy to just go out and increase your income. That being said, it is an important habit to building wealth. Take time to train your mind to think outside the box about ways you might be able to increase your earning power. This might mean getting more educa-

tion or starting a business or getting a part time job, etc. No one said building wealth did not take some effort. They own appreciating assets. The majority of wealthy people own their own home. Owning your personal residence develops some productive wealth mindsets. Ownership gives you a better appreciation for the value of goods. In addition, most wealthy Canadians have equity in other appreciating assets like business, stocks and real estate. The next time you put your money into something, ask yourself if it is an appreciating asset or a depreciating asset. They get professional advice. Wealthy people typically have a team of professionals to help them accumulate, manage and protect their wealth. This might include accountants, lawyers and financial advisors. Studies suggest that although they use professional advisors, they ultimately make the final decisions themselves. If you want to become wealthy, you must seek help but ultimately retain control over key decisions. Just like Stephen Covey feels that there are some key habits to become effective, I think there are some key habits to build, manage and retain wealth. Good luck!

TAX TIPS CAN HELP YOU SAVE! Let us help you find every available tax credit! Tax Tips For Canadians Over 65
Tax Tips For Families With Children
Q Income split and save: Seniors are allowed to split up to half of their eligible pension income with a spouse or common-law partner. Income splitting allows some seniors to enjoy a significant tax reduction. In the situation where the lower-income spouse has very little income, the tax savings are substantial.
Q Child Amount: Families will benefit from a $2,255 child amount for each child under the age of 18 for the last time in 2014. This will result in a federal tax saving of $338 per child. And if one parent cannot use the entire amount to lower their tax payable, the unused amount can be transferred to a spouse or common-law partner.
Q Get your benefits: Any senior receiving Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) through Old Age Security should file on time to ensure their benefits continue uninterrupted.
Q Credit for being active: The Children’s Fitness Amount is a non-refundable credit is worth up to $1,000 for children under the age of 16 enrolled in an eligible program of physical activity. Not every program meets the eligibility guidelines so you need to ensure you know the requirements. Make sure you keep your receipts. Disabled children will also qualify for the credit if they are under 18.
Q Transfer amounts: If your spouse is unable to completely offset his or her age amount, pension income and disability amount against tax payable, he or she may transfer the unused portion to your return. Q Caregiver amount: If you live with your children and you are over 65, they may be able to claim a caregiver amount for you if your income is less than $20,002. If you are dependent on them due to an infirmity, they may claim you even if.you are under 65. In this case the income threshold will be $22,060. The caregiver amount is increased by the $2,058 family caregiver amount when the dependant is infirm. Q Foreign pension income: Pensions from foreign countries may be subject to special tax treatment under the terms of a tax treaty. Always check with a tax professional to find out if the pension you receive from a foreign source is taxable in Canada. Q Split your CPP and save: You may be able to split part of your CPP retirement benefits with your spouse depending on how long you lived together when you were contributing to the plan. This is an advantage if one senior is in a higher tax bracket than the other. However, to do so, you must apply to Human Resources & Social Development Canada using Form ISP-1002. It cannot be done at the time of tax preparation. Q Medical expenses can add up: If you purchase medical insurance for a trip or wintering in another country, it is considered a medical expense. Medical expenses are calculated based on income so the lower income spouse should claim them. And if you have to travel to obtain medical treatment that was not available where you live, you may be able to claim the cost of transportation, meals and accommodation.
Q Artistic credit: The Children’s Arts Credit is another non-refundable credit worth up to $500 for children under the age of 16 enrolled in an eligible program. This could include language classes, Girl Guides or Scouts, art classes or ballet lessons. Again, keep your receipts to make the claim. Q Universal Child Care Benefit: This is available to any family with children regardless of their household income. It used to be available only for children under the age of six. However, effective January 2015, a new $60 per month component will be paid for children over five and under 18. The component for children under six will also be increased from $100 to $160 per month.

Stuff that you need to know I have been saving up the most amazing information for you. As we approach the new gardening season it is important to fuel your mind with ideas and facts that will help you enjoy the best garden ever. Here we go: You thought they were weeds. There is a collection of over 500 different dandelion species at the Univer-
sity of Newcastle in the U.K. Most were donated to the grateful institution by John Richards, a serious collector. I wonder if he received a tax receipt… According to The Garden magazine, the official publication of the Royal Horticultural Society, Taraxacum officinale (‘dandelion’ to you and me) is technically the species name that refers solely to the rare Scandinavian plant named by 16th-cen-
tury botanist Carl Linnaeus. Taraxacum spp. is more likely to be one of hundreds of similar species that invaded North America (including your back yard) when the Europeans brought the seeds over about 300 years ago. They considered the dried and ground up root of the dandelion a suitable substitute for coffee and there was not a lot of that growing in the wilds of Upper

Canada at the time. Just when you thought there was only one dandelion species, the report suggests that there are likely several types growing in your yard. Two new species were found this past year during a study conducted by the National Museum of Wales. It seems that there is research money out there for all kinds of things. The upside of global warming. A Cornell University study in New York came to a rather interesting conclusion with a recent experiment. New growth on urban trees was measured and the results were surprising. Some grew up to eight times faster due to the ‘urban heat island’ effect. Researchers planted red oak trees in New York City’s Central Park and places further upstate to measure the urban influence on the biology of the trees. Their dramatic results were not just in the overall growth, but the amount of foliage and carbon and nitrogen captured. This only adds to the increasing amount of evidence that says we need to get to work at doubling our urban tree canopies. Plants signal insect attacks through their roots. Have you ever been digging in the garden and found a labyrinth of finely textured webs knit into the root zone of your plants? That is a very good sign. The webs are evidence of mycorrhiza activity, the greatest enablers of plant health. Mycorrhiza is a fungus that grows extensively through the soil, forming a network, connecting underground plant life including plant roots.

Mather in as federal Green Party candidate Beaver Staff
The field of federal election candidates for HastingsLennox and Addington is getting longer. On Monday, the federal Green Party riding association announced that Cam Mather — a local businessperson, farmer and sustainability advocate — will be carrying the party’s banner in the upcoming general election. This will represent Mather’s third election campaign in less than two years. Mather stood as the
Green Party’s local candidate in last June’s provincial election, and made an unsuccessful bid for a spot on Stone Mills Township council in last October’s municipal election. In a press release, Mather said that the effects of climate change are apparent, as is the need to act in response to those effects. “Rural people are well aware of the negative impact of climate change, whether it was the devastating drought of the summer of 2012 or flooding in the spring of 2014 after
the brutal effects of last winter’s polar vortex,� he said. “Climate change is not some theoretical threat in the future, it’s having a negative impact on the quality of life now. There is one party talking about solutions to it, and that’s why I’m so excited about running for the Green Party,� he continued. He said the party will run on a “broad platform� in the election. “(It) emphasizes a balanced budget and putting a price on carbon that is revenue
neutral,� he said. “As a businessperson, this is the sort of approach I am extremely comfortable with, and with a growing number of calls for a price on carbon from The Globe and Mail to (former Reform Party Leader) Preston Manning, the Green Party is the only one voters can be confident will implement it successfully.� Mather and his wife Michelle operate Sunflower Farm CSA, which provides a weekly basket of organic produce to members during the growing

Last of the Red Hot Lovers comes to Selby Neil Simon’s classic dark comedy kicks off Lennox Community Theatre’s 2015 season
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
A bit of Broadway will come to Selby’s Lennox Community Theatre later this month as it open its season with Neil Simon’s dark comedy Last of the Red Hot Lovers. Written during 1969’s ‘Summer of Love’, the play centres around main character Barney Cashman’s three separate attempts at an extramarital affair. He quickly learns that he’s not as smooth as he thinks and his bumblings will leave the audience laughing. It debuted on Broadway in ‘69 and closed in 1971.
The play is made up of three acts, all one scene showing Barney’s awkward attempts at love outside of his 30-plus-year marriage. “Barney is a little uncomfortable and is a little clumsy,” explains Jim Ross, who plays Barney. “I think the audience right off the bat will realize this guy hasn’t done this before and he’s not going to succeed and I think that’s the comical part. They know he’s not getting anywhere with any of these women.” Ross says that despite his character’s attempt at infidelity, he’s actually quite likeable. It becomes quite evident that he’s in over his head.
The play is directed by Richard Linley, who is no stranger to the Lennox Community Theatre. He’s had a hand in several productions there over the years, though this play marks his return after an absence of a few years. When casting the play he decided to take a unique approach, opting for a twoperson cast rather than the four in the script. He has entrusted Sandy Johnson to play three lead roles, portraying the three women Barney is looking to bed. “It’s a tremendous challenge for Sandy,” said Linley. “She handles it terrifically. She gets a 15 minute
Lose a Dress size in 4 Weeks with the Virtual Gastric Band Program
interval between acts where she turns from one woman into quite a different woman and into quite a different woman again.” With such a small cast that means plenty of lines to memorize with few breaks between their scenes. “I have tremendous confidence in both of them,” said Linley. “They’re both very experienced actors in their own rights and they’re doing a great job with their characters.” Johnson originally auditioned for the part of a ‘flower child’ named Bobbi but was soon asked to play all three parts. “That’s really the challenge for me in this show
which was irresistible,” she said of playing three parts in a two-hander play. “I always feel like I’m basically just me in the end. I’m the character but still me. So this was the challenge. To see if I could actually walk differently, talk differently and become three different people.” The play will feature a 10 show run of Feb. 13, 14, 19, 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28 at 8 p.m. with 2 p.m. matinees on Feb. 15 and 22. Admission is $15 or $12 for seniors during the matinée. Tickets are available at Gray’s Drug Store, 18 Dundas St. W in Napanee or by calling 613-354-3346. While there may only be two actors on stage at
any given time, that’s not to say this is a small production. Linley says he has many volunteer hands building sets, designing costumes and working the lighting. “It’s a lot of people putting in a lot of time,” said Linley. “Nobody takes anything out of the theatre except the enjoyment of the show.” Along with enjoying the show, Linley says he hopes members of the audience might get inspired to want to help out with future productions as they seek more volunteers. Last of the Red Hot Lovers marks the start of a three-play season for the theatre, which is located at 2219 County Rd. 11.

Raiders walk all over Storm in 18-0 rout Napanee secures playoff berth, looks to lock down second seed with two games left to play
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
eeding two points to officially punch their playoff ticket heading into Tuesday's game, the Napanee Raiders quickly did away with any drama and suspense. The home team completely steamrolled the Deseronto Storm, lambasting them 18-0 to guarantee themselves a return to the Empire B League's playoffs after a two year drought. "That was the expectation at the start of the year, to be playing in the post season and then go from there," Raiders head coach Mike Hartwick said of clinching a playoff berth. "We still do have some very important games left so there's no time to sit back and savour it too much." Mitch Pearce scored the eventual game winner less than two minutes into Tuesday's game, converting on a power-play. That goal was the first of many for the Raiders, who scored 12 in the second period alone en route to their biggest rout of the season. Jordan Cannons and Zack Revell each had hat tricks while Brandon Nadeau and Zach Knapp-Hermer each netted a pair. Tomo
N
Mikuljan picked up the easy shutout, facing just 14 shots on the night. Napanee meanwhile fired 60 combined pucks at Aaron Young and back up Alex Crouter. While Tuesday's win officially clinched a spot in the playoffs, the real heavy lifting was Saturday night when the Raiders stole a 53 win in Campbellford. Trailing 2-0 after the opening frame and 3-2 heading into the third, the Raiders reeled off three goals in the third to secure the huge victory. "We showed a lot of character coming back in that game," said Hartwick. "That's a tough place to play. We did have some opportunities early on and we just didn't capitalize. All the guys stepped up, that was a big team victory. I would say it started when one of our players, Willy Peirson, got hit pretty hard and there was a response from our guys, Nic Schuler in particular. He stepped up and stuck up for Willy and after that the team seemed to rally." Austin Boulard scored twice while Revell, Keenan Murray and Josh Murphy had singles in support of Mikuljan who made 28 saves. Now that their trip to

The Storm goalie saw plenty of shots, and plenty of goals, in an 18-0 defeat. the playoffs is secured the Raiders will look to hold onto the second seed. They've banked 45 points on the year with two left to play. They visit Picton tonight and close out the regular season in Amherstview on Sunday. Chasing them is Camp-
bellford, who has 41 points but four left to play. Amherstview is fourth with 38 points and three games remaining while Picton sits fifth with 37 points and four left. Only the top four teams qualify for the playoffs with the top two seeds earning
home ice advantage in Games 1, 3, 5 and 7 in the best-of-seven semifinal opening round. Where the Raiders finish and who they play in the opening round likely won't be determined until the final game has been played. The regular season
is scheduled to conclude next Tuesday. "It's no secret our record at home is pretty strong," said Hartwick, nodding to a 13-6-1 mark at the SPC compared to 9-9 on the road.

Golden Hawks senior basketball team rallies for 54-53 victory NDSS erases 10-point halftime hole
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
shift in strategy midway through the game helped spur the NDSS Golden Hawks senior boys’ basketball team to a come-frombehind 54-53 win on Tuesday. Hosting the QECVI Raiders, the home team Hawks struggled to contain their opponents early, watching them build a 10 point lead on the strength of their three-point shooting. Napanee meanwhile took awhile to find their scoring touch as they tried to shake off the rust of a two week layoff over the exam break. “I decided that we would start off the game by playing a zone defense,” said Hawks head coach Daryl Sheffield, noting
A
that he was missing three starting players due to injury and other commitments. “At half we switched to man and that’s what brought us back.” Trailing 30-20 at the half, the Hawks slowly chipped away in the third before Hayden Ford drained a three-pointer to put them up 49-48. Though there were some nervous final minutes from there, NDSS would never lose that lead as they held on for the 54-53 win. “It certainly was the most physical game we’ve played this year,” added Sheffield. Liam Maracle helped seal the win by sinking two important free throws, putting Napanee up 54-51 with a minute left on the clock. He did so with a steady hand despite the raucous tension in the room. Because many QECVI fans made the trip, the entire game was almost like a playoff atmosphere. In total he posted 12 points. After he sank his sec-
ond basket the Raiders wasted little time rolling in a two pointer and then quickly called time out. With just under two seconds on the clock they applied full court pressure as the Hawks inbounded the ball. Despite a swarm of Raiders in their key, the Hawks were able to safely inbound the ball and hold it until the final buzzer sounded. Chad Thompson, a fifth year veteran, also helped power the comeback with a mix of threes and drives to the net. He finished with a team high 17 points. With the win the Hawks move to 3-6 on the year and for the time being sit seventh in the KASSAA standings. They have just one game left in the regular season, a Feb. 12 game against the 3-3 Holy Cross Crusaders. The two teams both sport six points but the Crusaders have three games in hand over Napanee. With Tuesday’s win the Hawks have earned at least an eight place finish, which is the final playoff seed. They will face either
Frontenac (8-0) or Sydenham (7-0) in a one game playoff in the quarterfinals. “The guys deserve it,” Sheffield said of earning a playoff appearance. “We got three or four guys that this will be their final basketball season so it’d be good to get them some playoff activity.” In volleyball the NDSS junior girls swept QECVI in three sets to improve to 5-5 on the season and take sole possession of the seventh seed. The NDSS girls’ hockey team had their Monday showdown with Holy Cross postponed due to weather. They’ll make that game up on Feb. 13. The winner of that game will likely clinch the top seed heading into the KASSAA playoffs. Before that the Hawks will look to stay unbeaten when they take on Ernestown next Tuesday. The boys team will return to action on Feb. 10 against LCVI. They are 43-1 on the season, one point back of second place.

battled back for a 4-0 win. Napanee was outshot 1613 over the first two periods, with Finn Pierce making several great saves. Powers’ last shot of the second gave the Stars a 1-0 lead. A nasty kneeing penalty early in the third sidelined Hagerman, but later Shea chipped a puck past a defenseman to go in alone to add to the lead. In the last three minutes, Powers added two more to cement the victory. The boys return home Friday for an 8 p.m. puck drop. n The Chamber’s Paving Atom AE squad played the final two games of their OMHA playoffs recently. On Jan. 24, the boys travelled to Uxbridge and tied 3-3. Dawson Wales earned the hat trick with some great assists from Jake Reid and Bailey Cook Martin. Nathaniel Cinnamon stood tall between the pipes as the lone netminder. Saturday, the team visited Pickering for the final game of the round robin series. Pickering came out swinging and managed to pump in three goals quickly. The AEs didn’t quit and fought hard for a comeback, but just couldn’t answer to the voracious Panthers. Jacob East and Nathaniel Cinnamon shared the net duties. The final score was 7-3 for the Panthers who will advance.

Zach Slaven of the Napanee Major Atoms buries the rebound for the only goal of a 1-0 Napanee win over Port Perry on Saturday. minutes remaining in the first and both teams with only two shots on goal, Zach Slaven buried a rebound from a Reid Lambert shot to put the Stars up by one. In the second period the visitors took control of the game having a majority of the play in the Stars zone but were unable to get the equalizer. In the third, the Stars continued to play a tight defensive game to win 1-0. Assisting on the goal was Mason Arthur. Ryan Aldridge earned his first shutout of the playoffs. On Sunday the Stars headed to Port Perry, with two regulars out of the lineup. Game 2 was the opposite of the opener with both teams playing end to end hockey. Early in the first, the hosts opened the scoring on the power-play, and carried the one goal lead into the second period. With a man advantage the Stars were able to tie things up. The deadlock didn’t last long as the Predators took back the lead with less than a minute left in the middle stanza. With a one goal lead early in the third the hosts were awarded a power play but were unable to capitalize. Less than a minute after the penalty expired the locals took advantage of a defensive breakdown and tied up the contest. The Stars continued with chances in the offensive zone, but could not take their first lead of the game. With a minute remaining the Predators created a turn over, and scored to take a 3-2 lead to tie up the series. Scoring were Ben Albright and Logan Lalande with assists Arthur (two) and Ethan Martin. Game 3 was scheduled for Wednesday at the SPC, and then in Port Perry Friday. n On Saturday the Gray’s IDA Minor Atom As (15-96) started the post season
in the Lakeshore Playoffs against Clarington. Despite a strong start the team struggled against the hungry Toros who were aggressive the entire game. The Stars were able to capitalize with Ty Kemp and Will Myers netting goals in the first to give Napanee the early lead. Clarington was able to score in the second. However, Napanee kept the two goal advantage when Owen Maracle added another for the Stars. Despite a strong Clarington third period, Jake Wood would add another goal to give the Stars the 4-1 victory. On Sunday the Stars were in Clarington to continue their winning ways. The Stars came out strong and maintained puck control through most of the affair. Wood got Napanee on the board early with an assist from Brodie Beaubien. Kemp added his second goal of the weekend to give Napanee a 2-0 lead after two. Clarington took a number of penalties in the third, and Wood secured a hat trick while Ethan Sutcliffe added another goal to give the Stars a 5-0 victory. The Stars hoped to close out the series last night at the SPC. n The Napanee Minor Bantam Stars find themselves in a 0-2 hole to start their first-to-six-points Lakeshore League playoff series with Clarington. The Stars dropped the opener 5-2 in Bowmanville on Saturday, then fell 4-3 to the Toros on home ice on Sunday. Although the Stars were competitive in both games, they couldn’t keep Clarington from pulling away in the third. In Game 1, captain Adam Burger accounted for all the Stars’ goals. Murray Craig was saddled with the loss in net. In Game 2, Burger had a pair
of goals, while Cal DuChene chipped in with one. Blueliners Ethan Armstrong and Alex Ketcheson both earned assists. Cole East was stung for the loss between the pipes. The Stars will try to stave off elimination tomorrow night in Clarington. Game 4, if necessary, takes place at 7:30 p.m. at the Goodyear Rink on Saturday; Game 5, if necessary, is in Clarington on Sunday, and Game 6, if necessary, will be on Monday at the Home Hardware rink at 9:30 p.m. n NDHM would like to thank the Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario who recently presented a full set of novice goalkeeper equipment to the organization as part of their goalie assistance program. The presentation was made by Dave Woodward of Whitley Insurance in Trenton. Napanee Crunch n The Crunch Atom B played their final season game against Kingston Ice Wolves this past Saturday, blanking them 4-0. Scoreless into the second period, Hailey Thompson capitalized on a loose puck off of the Ice Wolves Defense to carry it down and smoothly back hand it into the net. Shortly after Thompson again unassisted found the back of the net. With Makenna Marlow strong between the posts the Crunch powered on. Saige Pearson found the back of the net and Kristen Sutton also scored to make it 4-0 Crunch. Strong defensive play by blueliners Gracie Hughes, Maeve Kennedy, Myla Pearson and Nikki Weese helped the team secure the shutout. The Atoms will begin a four point series against Lindsay to begin Playoffs.

Trio of local swimmers post strong showing at Belleville meet Beaver Sports
Three swimmers represented Napanee proudly this past weekend at the Eastern Ontario Regional Short Course Championships, held at the Templeman Menninga Aquatic Centre in Belleville.
This three day event was host to many of the regions top swimmers. Local swimmers Gracey Vanberkel (13), Nickolas Cinnamon (13) and Isabella Isbester (11) all met the challenge of attaining the necessary qualifying times in order to
compete in this event, and were among 30 swimmers who were sent from the Belleville Youth Swim Team. The swimmers train five to six days a week, sometimes as early as 5:30 a.m. all while maintaining a solid academic standing.

Lion Joyce McHard performs a vision scan on Melody Kirbby, a Grade 1 student at The Prince Charles School in Napanee during a recent Lions hearing and vision screening program.
Lions complete vision-screening program to repair cracks Do you have a crack or Special to the Beaver
Members of the Napanee Lions Club have just completed their annual Vision and Hearing Screening Program for the children in schools around the Napanee area. Children in senior kindergarten and Grade 1 are screened at the six area schools annually, and this year a total of 320 children were screened. According to the club, it is impor-
tant to detect vision and hearing problems before they affect a child’s performance in school. Since 80 per cent of what children learn comes from their eyes, early detection is paramount not only to ensure performance but also to identify these problems so that corrective action can be taken to preserve the child’s vision. The Lions are not professionals; however, the screening methods used are able to identify problems in chil-
dren who have trouble seeing things at a distance, up close or who have difficulty making both eyes work together. The hearing screening identifies children with below-normal auditory function. A report of the screening is sealed in an envelope and is given to the child to take home. From the report the parents can decide whether to seek further follow up with a physician or medical professional.

UTILITIES | Some reservations about approval CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 something else? It always seems to me, and I’m making more of a point this term, that we need more time to look at stuff,” Lucas added. The rush to pass the budget on Tuesday was so staff could implement the new rates into 2015’s first billing cycle. “This is a budget that depends on starting in the next billing period,” said Deputy Mayor Marg Isbester. “I would move that we accept and approve this budget this evening, but I agree that it would be nice to see these earlier, but not possible all the time.” Schermerhorn said that while it would have been ideal to see the budget earlier, the fall election made it impossible for that to happen. He said the past
few days would have been plenty of time to review the budget privately, and/or meet with staff, prior to Tuesday evening’s budget meeting. Schermerhorn and staff explained that with it being an election year, the budget did come to council later than usual, but Schermerhorn said he still felt well enough informed to confidently pass the budget with staff ’s recommendation. “Last year this process had started in November but because of the election, we couldn’t do it,” explained Chief Administrative Officer Ray Callery. Schermerhorn said council needed to look at the bigger picture. “We have to realize that we have good water; we have a good sewer system for our customers and our people,” said Schermer-
horn. Still, Ward 4 councillor Carol Harvey was uneasy about voting on the budget without a full discussion. “I’m not comfortable voting on a $5 million budget without dealing with salaries and benefits, because that’s almost a third of the budget,” said Harvey. Salaries and benefits make up for $1,376,997 of the $5,085,768 utilities budget. Staff said there are about 15 employees involved in the water and sewer plant, including administrative staff. Salaries and benefits could not be discussed in open council session because it deals with private personnel matters and would have needed to be discussed in-camera (closed session). “We could have done this (discussed it for the
first time) in January. The world isn’t going to come to an end if the rates aren’t increased at this billing period, it could be increased at the next billing period. If we’re going to vote tonight, I’d like a recorded vote,” said Harvey. “I’m going to go on the record with supporting (the budget) but I’m going to ask council that moving forward… (we) have more time to look at this stuff, more period for discussion. We’re in a box, I understand that, but I’m hoping for changes starting in 2015,” said Lucas. All members of council voted in favour of passing the utilities budget except for Harvey. The budget was passed and the new rates, with a 2.5 per cent increase, will be implemented for the next billing cycle.
Councillors push for utilities board, pre-budget workshop Staff Reporter
Two notices of motion were put forward at during Tuesday’s special budget meeting for Greater Napanee, both of which will be discussed next Tuesday at council’s next regular meeting. Ward 5 councillor Shaune Lucas presented a notice of motion to bring back a water and sewer committee board, which would then keep council and the public informed on water and sewer updates and finances. Lucas’ motion read, “that the Town of Greater Napanee re-establish their water and sewer board committee, beginning in 2015, and that this committee of council meet at least on a quarterly basis or as required. “And that this committee have regular agenda items including, but not limited to: deputations, public question and answer

period, staff reports, statistics, quarterly operating and capital and operational financial reports, proposed budget discussions in advance of budget approval, public educational topics. And that this committee meet in the council chambers and be duly advertised and broadcasted to the community at large and to the water and sewer ratepayers,” said Lucas. This was following a thorough discussion on the utilities budget, which Lucas and other councillors stated that they felt required more discussion, as well as should have been brought to council earlier for review. Ward 4 councillor Carol Harvey then expressed an opinion in the statement by members, followed by presenting a notice of motion, both dealing with the budget. “I feel the need for a pre-budget workshop for new councillors to explain how the budget system works. Because as a new
councillor, I’m finding it’s hard to decipher what we’ve got in our (agenda) package and when you go online it’s even more complicated. That would be really helpful to me and I don’t know how many councillors that are back again that would appreciate a workshop,” said Harvey in her statement. Her notice of motion is as follows: “At least a week before any further deliberations are held on the 2015 budget, the treasurer present to council and post on the town website a detailed draft capital and operating budgets for each department, with the same level of detail that’s been put into the utilities draft budget and with side-byside comparisons for 2014 budgeted and actual numbers.” This would mean that council and staff would meet one week before a budget meeting for an update of the budget prior to the actual budget meet-

ing. Both notice of motions should be discussed at the next regular council meeting, which is scheduled for Tuesday. The next budget meeting is scheduled for Feb. 26.

A majority of Ontarians (59%) say the state of their city’s economy is “good” right now, according to the Ontario Home Ownership Index, a biannual research study commissioned by the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) and conducted by Ipsos Reid. Furthermore, 33% say their city’s real estate market is stronger compared to a year ago. “In fall 2013, the Ontario Home Ownership Index was set to a benchmark of 100 points – in fall 2014, the Index rose to 108 points,” says Sean Simpson, vice president, Ipsos Reid Public Affairs. “What that means is that consumers currently feel better about their real estate markets and economy than they did just over a year ago. Factors such as low mortgage rates, provincial job growth, and two elections in 2014 may have something to do with the upswing in perceptions.” How Ontarians feel about the year ahead has remained consistent; their expectations of the next ten years have softened slightly. The Ontario Home Ownership Index, which measures Ontarians’ outlook of the residential real estate market, their real estate plans and market trends, found that: • Looking ahead to the next year, 36% of Ontarians say the residential real estate market in their city or town will be stronger (compared to 34% in 2013) • Looking ahead to the next ten years, 47% say the residential real estate market in their city or town will be stronger (compared to 52% in 2013) “The fact that the ten-year forecast continues to be stronger than shortterm sentiment speaks to the long-term value that Ontarians place in owning a home,” says Simpson. “While real estate markets can ebb and flow, over the long-run there is a belief that real estate markets will be stronger than they are even today.” More information is available at www.orea.com. This article is provided by local REALTORS® and the Ontario Real Estate Association for the benefit of consumers in the real estate market.
