Undaunted by the heavy snow on Tuesday, Linda Weese and her dogs Zack and Molly went for a walk by the river on Water Street. The first major snowstorm of 2016 made for messy driving conditions throughout the region.

On Tuesday council cussed the capital or operating carried a bylaw to accept the two per budgets with staff yet so those rates cent increase for water and waste- have not yet been set. Deputy Mayor

Marg Isbester explained that the utilities budget is not a tax rate so should not apply to the September resolution. “This is a user fee, it’s not a tax. I see what Councillor Harvey is saying, that we didn’t want to raise anything but we just had a vote to raise 1.4 per cent for all our (other) user fees and these are user fees,” said Isbester. Earlier in the meeting, council unanimously moved to increase certain user fees for municipal services, including for zoning information,

work/building order requests, hall rentals and more. “If we don’t have any kind of an increase this year, then how are we expected to fund at least the two big projects coming forward within the next two to three years?” Isbester asked, referring to the Dundas upgrade throughout the downtown and upgrading on Bridge Street from Alma Avenue to Belleville Road.

Napanee man arrested, enters guilty plea to assault charge calls me a (expletive) goof, and then he punches me, like a right cross.” By Friday, a suspect was arrested in connection with the incident. A 31-year-old Napanee man, Curtis Hummel, was charged and has since pleaded guilty to assault. Orr said the man was a complete stranger to him. “I’ve never met this dude before. I recognize people that I’ve seen a very few times, but I’ve never laid eyes on this guy before in my life,’ he said. Once that punch was thrown, Orr said he decided to fight back. “My wife tells me later on — I don’t remember saying this — I said, ‘oh, is this what we’re doing this

morning,’” Orr said. “I grab him and push him around a little bit, grab him by his shirt, and dropped a couple of rights. I emptied out on him.” The man then went to the ground and appeared to be turning his attention to Orr’s wife. “He starts going towards her and he pulls his arm back to hit her. Of course, I get him on him again.” Orr said that they both eventually ended up on the ground, rolling around. At some point of the melee, Orr broke his baby finger — an injury that could require surgery. “Between Misty and I, we got him off me,” said Orr. “And then, without a shirt and one shoe… he kind of went across

the road and off he went.” The man fled west on foot through the parking lot beside the post office. Orr called 911 for police; he was then transported to L&A County General Hospital by ambulance for treatment of his injuries. Orr says he’s still not sure why the man attacked him. As a former bartender, Orr said that he has some experience dealing with people who are impaired by alcohol, but added that even in that state, a drunken person could be reasoned with. “With this guy, there was zero reasoning,” he said. The attack has left him “a little more cautious” than he was before, but said that the

incident has had an impact on those around him as well. “It has affected a lot of people in our community too, because it could have been anybody. If somebody’s not being rational, it could have been old lady, it could have been a kid going to school, it could have been anybody. It was ‘great’ that it was me, because I could do something.” At the same time, Orr says the event shouldn’t make people fearful. “Should we be frightened, when we see something like this? No, not really. It’s so crazily isolated.” Hummel is scheduled to appear in provincial court for sentencing on Jan. 26.

Police Beat

Counterfeit American currency seized, two arrested Beaver Staff

Two Toronto-area men were arrested after some counterfeit American currency was being passed at Napanee businesses. According to the Napanee OPP, last Thursday at 8:50 p.m. an officer on patrol on Centre Street in Napanee noticed a male running from the Shoppers Drug Mart towards the Metro parking lot. The male was seen getting into the back of a red 2015 Toyota Corolla. The offi-

cer checked the occupants of the vehicle and subsequently arrested two males for possession of a controlled substance (marijuana). While searching the vehicle, however, the officer discovered what appeared to be $790 in counterfeit U.S. currency in $50 and $20 dollar denominations. Several of the bills had the same serial number. Officers subsequently canvassed businesses in the area and recovered five $50 U.S. counterfeit bills that had

been passed earlier that evening. A 20-year-old man from Mississauga and a 16-yearold boy from Mississauga face charges of possession of counterfeit currency and possession of a controlled substance. They were scheduled to appear in court for a bail hearing earlier this week.

Jewelry Stolen

The Napanee OPP is seeking the public’s assistance in relation to a theft of jewelry from a residence on County Rd. 6 in Stone Mills Township. The owner of the residence reported the theft on Dec. 22. The theft is believed to have occurred sometime during an open house or showing of the home, which had been up for sale for sever-

al months. Over $17,000 in jewellery was stolen, including the following items: a vintage ladies Omega gold watch with 18kt bracelet; 14kt gold chain, 1617 inches in length; 18kt gold chain bracelet; 18kt gold hoop earrings; 18kt gold ring with pearl and diamonds (setting for two pearls, missing one pearl); sapphire blue pendant and chain; Canaan dog pendants – one gold, one silver with necklaces; jade pendant and chain; jewelry box with dark wood with inscription ‘The Mousetrap 2012’. Anyone who has information in relation to this theft or the whereabouts of any of the jewelry is asked to contact the Napanee OPP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report anonymously online at tipsubmit.com.

Practical seminar series aimed at entrepreneurs BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

For the second straight year, a number of local agencies are working together to provide a series of free, practical seminars designed to assist small businesspeople. The Prince Edward/Lennox and Addington Community Futures Development Corporation, the Small Business Centre, the Napanee Business Improvement Area, the Napanee and District Chamber of Commerce and Lennox and Addington County all have a hand in the six-seminar series. All the seminars, between two and three hours each, will take place at the L&A County Museum and Archives meeting room. According to Sandy Abbott of the Small Business Centre, the idea of a seminar series arose after she heard common questions from local entrepreneurs. “After a while… you think maybe there’s more people out here who want to know those things,” she said. All the seminars deal with practical concepts. The first seminar deals with issues around sole proprietorship and incorporation, for instance. “What are the legal

It’s a lot of meaty stuff that can have quite a profound impact on businesses, especially as it relates to taxes and how much tax you pay — both personally and as a corporation,” said Craig Desjardins, PELA CFDC Executive Director. Desjardins said the subject matter for the seminars is all practical, and not “theoretical stuff.”

“Everything is knowledge-based or skill-based,” added Abbott. “When you walk out, you either know more — which is going to make you more effective to plan — or you have a skill that you didn’t have before that is going to make you more efficient.” The organizers said that last year’s seminars were all full. Abbott said that gaining

knowledge isn’t the only benefit of attending the seminars. “A secondary benefit, which is a huge one, is you get out and you see another 19 small businesses that you maybe haven’t touched base with for a while,” she said. “There have been some really nice strategic partnerships. Some of the workshops are long enough, but there’s a good length of coffee break time. After we realized how

much people liked networking, we made that section a little bit bigger. At the end, people don’t leave right away, they often stay and network as well.” The organizers said that they scheduled the seminars for early on in the year when, traditionally, business is slower and businesspeople would likely have more time to get away to attend. “The time of year is really

good because, when it gets low, especially if you have a storefront or a one-man operation at your kitchen table, when the calls aren’t coming in as often as they were before, it can be really frustrating,” said Abbott. “Why not learn something that’s going to make you better when things pick up, or get some knowledge that’s going to help you plan for the next five years?” The first seminar is scheduled for Jan. 28 from 9:30 a.m. to noon. The second, ‘Easy Design Tools to Improve Marketing and Sales,’ is on Feb. 17 from 10 a.m. to noon. The third, ‘Quick Books Part 1’, is on Feb. 24 from 1-4 p.m.; the fourth, ‘Quick Books Part 2’, is on March 2 from 1-4 p.m.; and the fifth, ‘Quick Books Inventory Control’, is on March 9 from 1-3:30 p.m. The series wraps up with a seminar, ‘Understanding the Employment Standards Act’, from 1:30-4 p.m. on April 5. Participants must register to attend any one of the sessions; they can register for one, some or all of the sessions. To register, call Napanee District Chamber of Commerce Manager B.J. McDonald at 613-354-6601 or e-mail napaneechamber@bellnet.ca.

The path ahead for the NDP

J. Earl Morrison, Owner-Publisher, 1953-1978

Last week in this space, we talked about what we think may lay ahead for the Conservative Party of Canada. But what about the NDP? Once the fall election was over, the perennial third Combined in 1965 party found itself in a familiar position: as the third with The Napanee Express (EST. 1861) party in the House of Commons. After four years as the and The Deseronto Official Opposition, a stint on the government side just wasn’t in the cards. Post (EST. 1904) If we look back to one year ago, however, it looked oh so promising for Thomas Mulcair and Team Orange. An independent Mulcair and the NDP had proven themselves more than able to hold the Harper government’s feet to the community fire, and people were noticing; the NDP were riding high in the polls. That trend continued up to, and even newspaper into, the campaign period. Then Justin Trudeau and the Liberals happened. JEAN MORRISON Today, the party still has Mulcair as its leader, OWNER & although there’s some question as to whether the rank and file will let him keep his job.

Even if he did get it wrong in the last election, that doesn’t mean he won’t learn from his mistakes. There are plenty of examples of leaders who failed the first time out of the gate but still managed to (eventually) bring their party to government — Dalton McGuinty and Stephen Harper being the two most obvious and most recent examples. The circumstances will undoubtedly be different four years from now, too. If the economy continues to sputter or retract, voters may be looking for a change. Voters might not be ready to hand the keys of government back to the Conservative Party so soon.

Staff Picks: Rabbit Ears and Missing Sarah In her latest Staff Picks submission, Jennifer Robinson of the Yarker branch compares two books: Rabbit Ears and Missing Sarah. These are fiction and non-fiction books respectively, of a young woman’s experience as an adopted, multiracial, sexual assault and sexual abuse survivor whose alienation drives her to leave home. Both books are based off the true story of Sarah de Vries, a woman who went missing from Vancouver’s East Side, eventually discovered to be a victim of Robert Pickton. “Both books share a gripping story which can and should be read by everyone,” says Jennifer. “A girl derailed by family dysfunction, community racism, peer sexual assault and a neighbour’s sex abuse which nearly strangle her spirit and ultimately push her to run away, juggling ever greater threats to her psychological and physical existence in the uncertainty associated with street life, survival sex and drug use. “Rabbit Ears, a YA novel, is alternately told by teen sisters: Kaya, coping with family loss, students’ racist

COMMENT / 7

B E AV E R

Not impressed so far During the election, the Liberal Party, through its leader Justin Trudeau, made countless financially irresponsible promises to anyone who would listen. Many were promises that, in my opinion, will never materialize now that he has been elected, as the cost of keeping these promises would be astronomical and unsustainable. As soon as the election was over, Justin set out on international tours where he handed out money by the billions, without the consent of the House of Commons. Playing Santa Claus with money that he has not even dinged us for yet is unacceptable and irresponsible. For example, he promised Third World countries $2.3 billion in aid to help them with climate change (which could have been used for our own programs); $1.2 billion for immigrants; $22 million to Jordan (why Jordan?); $12 million to Africa for entrepreneurship programs (money we could have used for the same purpose at home); and $100 million to help other countries with refugees. Predictably, the Minister of Finance Bill Morneau told us that there was a shortfall of $3 billion in government coffers. According to some economists, this and the promises already made could likely increase the already planned $10 billion deficit to more like $20 billion. (That’s 20,000 million dollars, folks.) To add insult to injury, our newly elected government sent more than 300 people on the two-week trip to the Paris Climate Change Summit, at a cost said to have surpassed $1 million. This was the largest contingency of any other country — double that of the U.S. The Syrian immigration resettlement program pegged at 25,000 refugees by the end of December is so far behind that it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the 25,000 number was picked out of the air to win votes. How can the numbers have been so wrong? Because no one bothered to do their due

diligence or try to figure out the logistics before this number was stated, that’s why. First, the 25,000 was reduced to 10,000 or 60 per cent and this figure and was reduced again by another 40 per cent to barely 6,000. Overall, this is only a 24 per cent success rate. The Syrian program is likely the most overgenerous undertaking ever formulated. There have been numerous reports of excessive government spending on refugees — one special Cheers report in The Vancouver Sun was about meal allowances. If this is not true, then the Liberals through the Minister of Immigration John McCallum should deny it. We need the truth! Previous immigrant claimants, who have been waiting years for the privilege to live here, may have been pushed to the back of the line to make way for this new group. And priorities are given to certain groups — families, women at risk with children and LGBTQ claimants. As reported in the media, single men, unless gay, are not allowed as they are perceived to more likely be potential ISIS terrorists. I wonder what proof there is of this. Personally, it seems like discrimination against potentially able-bodied workers who could actually contribute to our society. How can this be? Recently the Minister of Immigration spoke of increasing the number of refugees to 50,000 in 2016 — a promise made before discovering how we will cope with the 25,000 people we will already incorporate into our system. This just cannot happen. There should be limits to our generosity when we already

had so many difficulties to deal with before this mass migration. As an example of the number of programs already in place, I have a copy of the Community Services Directory for the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington area dated 2007. The population for this area is r o u g h l y 308,772 people. This book has 550 pages and the first 50 pages list all of the services provided for this area. There are 975 organizations & Jeers in all. What follows are a few examples of the numbers of organizations under the umbrella of each service listed: family support services (32); legal services (20); parenting (14); rehab services (22); outpatient mental care (30); health organizations (49); and many more encompassing housing, rehab centers, social services, social planning, homeless services; and child hunger. The point I am trying to make is this. We now have one organization for every 315 people. This means we have huge problems in our own area and likely the same holds true in the other parts of the country. It looks like these organizations may not have sufficient funding to provide the essential services expected for 25,000 plus refugees, many of who are unskilled and do not speak either of our official languages. Unemployment is not improving, jobs are tough to find, prices are going up everywhere and the many proposed climate changes will cost us more money that we do not have. We have plenty of resources in this country, so if our governments at the provincial and federal levels would stop arguing and start

Letter to the Editor

No denying landfill problems In its recent decision the Environmental Review Tribunal confirmed that the old Richmond Landfill is leaking and contaminating groundwater off the dump property, that the extent of the leachate plume has not been found, that the complex site can not be easily monitored, and that the owner of the dump, Waste Management, has been incorrect in claiming otherwise. The dump is spilling leachate which contains

doing something positive with these resources, our unemployment rates would be reduced dramatically. For example, why can we not build refineries in Alberta to convert the heavy oil into gas? Why can’t we build our own pipeline to New Brunswick, making our country less dependent on the U.S.? Why can we not develop the ‘Ring of Fire’ in Ontario? All of these projects would produce jobs for years to come, and would actually make money to help fill empty coffers at the same time. Therefore; our politicians — especially Trudeau — must start doing what is right and cure what ails our country. Our needs must be taken care of ahead of those of other countries. This is not to say that we shouldn’t help those less fortunate, but is legalizing pot such a priority in this country that other problems paIe in comparison? I do have one hope for this government, and that is for the Finance Minister — who is a businessman first and foremost. Hopefully he will keep track of our spending — our tax dollars —and have the common sense to cancel ineffective programs before adding new ones. Our Prime Minister has his work cut out for him and needs to set his priorities in order of actual importance. Fighting ISIS on their turf — not ours — is the way to do it. Even now, the U.S. does not consider us allies in fighting ISIS. Historically, Canada has been known as a country that would help our allies. It seems that this is no longer valid. Trudeau needs to do what must be done first and forget the frivolous items. We need a person in charge who will do what is right, not a person who will go around trying to look good and be popular. Popularity means nothing if our country is not being looked after the way it should be. No cheers to date.

thousands of chemicals and many of them cause cancer and other life-threatening diseases. In their information bulletins Waste Management refers to exceeding guidelines for “non-health related parameters”. The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change often use and allow this seriously misleading term. The public should be aware that the chemicals found indicate the presence of leachate which is a serious threat to human health.

It is my opinion that the use of this misleading language in public communication should be stopped. Waste Management and the MOECC should be communicating clearly with all of us about what has been found and the serious health implications. We deserve better from those who claim to ‘Think Green’ and who are paid to act in the public interest. Jeff Whan Roblin, Ontario

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago January 12, 1966

n Tragedy struck the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory when three young children perished in fire at a home on Bay Shore Road. The three girls — ages one, two and three — were asleep in their beds when the fire broke out. According to the fire chief, the fire started when a spark jumped from the stove in the kitchen into some refuse. Neighbours had successfully brought the fire under control and had brought the children out of the house by the time firefighters arrived; however, the children succumbed to their injuries. n The new owners of Forrester’s Island in the Bay of Quinte discovered a well with abundant fresh water — enough, they said, that it could be used to supply all the residents of Deseronto and maybe Napanee as well. Brother J. Donald Dawson and Reginald C. Dawson said that the newly-discovered well appeared “to have an unlimited supply of pure drinking water.” They estimated that 10 million gallons could be pumped from the basins on the island every 24 hours. Deseronto had been investigating potential new sources for municipal water for some time.

30 Years Ago January 8, 1986

n According to a study commissioned by the Napanee Region Conservation Authority, Napanee could profit from the establishment of a marina on its riverfront. In its report, J. D. Paine Engineering Inc. of Kingston said everyone — governments, businesses and residents — would stand to benefit should a marina be constructed in Napanee. Suggestions regarding a new marina had been discussed ever since the town took over ownership of an old building on the waterfront. The study suggested the town could see as much as $1.7 million in annual economic benefits from a marina. n With a new policy, the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington Health Unit put restrictions on smoking in their offices. Under the new policy, employees or members of the public could only smoke in designated areas of health unit buildings. Dr. David Mowat, Medical Officer of Health, told board members it was imperative the policy be passed because it’s the mandate of the health unit to prevent disease and promote health. With the policy, it was hoped that it would prompt employees who smoked to kick the habit.

L&A Mutual Insurance backs upcoming blood drive BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

L&A Mutual Insurance has recently become a Canadian Blood Service Partner for Life and will hold its first corporate blood donor clinic in Napanee next week. Todd Steele, an L&A Mutual Insurance agent, facilitated the corporate sponsorship between the company and the Canadian Blood Services. He has been a blood

donor for about three years, which means he has donated blood about 18 times. Many of his fellow agents and the staff at L&A Mutual Insurance are also blood donors so the company decided to become a corporate sponsor to help initiate more donations in Greater Napanee. L&A Mutual Insurance will be sponsoring a blood donor clinic on Jan. 22 from 1:30-6:30 p.m. at the Strathcona Paper Centre. “Part of it is to introduce

new donors to the blood clinic. We’ve already got a list started,” said Steele. A requirement to becoming a corporate sponsor means committing to 35 pints of donated blood at each corporate event. According to the Canadian Blood Services website, a pint of blood (which is 500 millilitres, or half a litre) is

taken each time a person donates blood, which means 35 people will need to donate blood next week in order for L&A Mutual Insurance to meet its goal. It is required that donors wait at least eight weeks (56 days) between donations. “We also made a goal of bringing in a minimum of 15

new donors,” Steele added. The donation appointment list at the L&A Mutual Insurance office is booking up fast and the company has almost reached its goal of 15 new donors. “We just think it’s a great thing to be involved in,” said Steele. “Those that I know of from here that have gone to

donate blood, including one retired agent, adds up to 563 pints of blood donated by staff, agents and directors of the company.” That retired agent is Brian Powley, who has donated blood 153 times. Donors must be at least 17 years old and be in good health. For more information, visit www.blood.ca.

Loyalist Township

Stage set for weeklong winter carnival

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

A regional favourite winter event, the Loyalist Winter Carnival, is taking place later this month for children and adults across the township. Ben Hagerman, Community Development Coordinator for Loyalist Township, said the weeklong event would have something for everyone and events held in every town across the township. “The Loyalist Township Winter Carnival and we encompass all the communities within Loyalist Township. It’s all over the place; there are activities in Amherstview at the recreation centre, at all the library branches, the Odessa fairgrounds, and the Odessa Lions Club is putting on a couple of things,” Hagerman said. The carnival runs from Jan. 24-30 and most events are free and children-friendly. The idea of the winter

carnival is to get people outside and active during winter, as well as to introduce, or reintroduce, municipal services available to all local residents. Hagerman said community partners such as the Odessa Lions Club, the Odessa Firefighters’ Association, and the Lennox and Addington Libraries make the Loyalist Winter Carnival a success. “The Lennox and Addington Library branches are all taking part,” said Hagerman. “They have activities for children all through the week, from infants to older children after school.” On Jan. 24, the carnival begins with winter fun activities in Wilton between 2 and 4 p.m. Events will take place at the J. Earl Burt Memorial Ball Park with the Loyalist Township Play Trailer, which includes winter activities and hot chocolate. Later that night the Amherstview Jets will take on the Campbellford

Rebels at the W.J. Henderson Arena at 7:30 p.m. On Jan. 26, activities for kids and families will be taking place at the Henderson Recreation Centre in Amherstview. Public skating will be offered for a toonie from 4-5 p.m. followed by free swimming from 7-8 p.m. Earlier that day carnival crafts and a Lego challenge will be taking place at the Odessa library for kids. The event is free and starts at 4:30 p.m. Jan. 27 is a busy carnival day with events for kids and winter demos happening throughout the day. At 10:30 a.m. story time will be held at the Amherstview Library. The Bath library will provide marshmallow themed crafts starting at 6:30 p.m. That evening, the Odessa fairgrounds will be a busy spot, starting with ice stock demonstrations at 6 p.m. followed by a Christmas tree bonfire and outdoor skating party.

COMMUNITY PULSE JANUARY 19 LENADCO AUXILIARY Group meets at the John M. Parrot Centre at 2 p.m. Everyone welcome. HISTORICAL PRESENTATION Hastings County Historical Society presents author and naval historian Roger Litwiller speaking on ‘From Tugboats to Nuclear Submarines, Shipbuilding in Trenton.’ This free public presentation takes place at 7:30 p.m. at Maranatha, 100 College St. West in Belleville.

“An event that was really popular last year was the Kingston Ice Stocks event. They’re a really new initiative,” said Hagerman. “They’re a little bit of a hybrid of curling; they play on natural ice. They’re going to show people how the game works, what the techniques are within the game, and people who are around will have a try at it.” On Jan. 29 an organized tournament will be held at the Odessa outdoor skating rink. “The Odessa Firefighters Association sponsors the Christmas tree bonfire and outdoor skating party,” said Hagerman. Free hot chocolate, hot dogs and marshmallows will be offered at

the bonfire. Jan. 29 will be a busy carnival day in Amherstview, starting with crafts at the Amherstview library at 10:30 a.m. Later that evening a fitness class will be offered at the Leisure and Activity Centre for kids over eight to participate in with their parents and crafts will be offered at the same time for kids aged four to eight. “It’s an opportunity for ages eight and up to come out and do a fitness activity — children and adults together. At the same time, for the younger children, there will be a craft session going on in the children’s room too. It will be a good way to get more people out to our Activity and Leisure

Centre who are relatively new,” said Hagerman. On the final day, a pancake breakfast will be held in Odessa before the carnival closes. “The Odessa Lions Club is a good partner. They’re putting on a pancake breakfast on the morning on Jan. 30 from 8:30-11 a.m. and it’s $3 for a child and $5 for an adult at the Odessa fairgrounds,” said Hagerman. At the same time, the Loyalist Township Play Trailer will stop in Bath at Centennial Park and crafts will be held at the Amherstview library with crafts for kids.

The Napanee Lions Club expanded their literacy project recently by donating over $1,200 worth of books to another two of local school libraries. This year the precipitants were the J.J. O'Neill Catholic School and the Selby Public School.

Hospice L&A to hold fun fundraising bonspiel

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Curlers of all skill levels will have the chance to throw some rocks for charity on Jan. 30 as Hospice Lennox and Addington hosts their annual Memorial Bonspiel at the Napanee and District Curling Club. Entry is $200 per team, which covers two six-end games, lunch and a catered dinner. Prizes are available as well, though the overall atmosphere won’t be too competitive with a focus more on having fun. “This is the 11th year we have hosted this popular fundraiser,” said Kim Sunstrum, executive director/coordinator for Hospice L&A. “It is a fun filled day that raises funds to help

support palliative care and bereavement services in our community.” No experience is necessary for the not-overly-competitive event that’s open to all ages. It’s the perfect opportunity for anyone who has never tried the sport to throw some rocks in a pressure-free setting. For veterans of the game it’s a chance to have some fun while helping out an important cause and to introduce the sport to some first time curlers as well. “Last year we added a memorial component to the event to remember some people that have received Hospice services in the past,” said Sunstrum. “We are also currently accepting memorial nominations (for this year). If you know someone who received Hospice servic-

es that you would like us to remember at our event, please let us know when you register your team.” Registration is now open for teams on a first come, first serve basis. The event tends to be popular and fills up quickly. A sign up sheet is posted at the NDCC or teams can also register by contacting Sunstrum at 613-354-3301 ext. 203 or e-mailing Kim@landahospice.ca. In operation since 1990, Hospice L&A is a community based volunteer organization that is dedicated to helping the families of individuals who are in the terminal phases of an illness. They allow the individuals to stay in their home as long as possible as well as help family members deal with the loss of a loved one.

Surging Jets closing in on second place Raiders Two clubs set to meet in key home-and-home showdown on Sunday and Tuesday

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

mediocre stretch of play by the Napanee Raiders mixed with an Amherstview Jets hot streak has made a tight race for the second seed in the Empire B League standings. Following a 5-0 road loss at the hands of the Port Hope Panthers, the Raiders now sport a 2-2-1 record over a five game span, with the results of last night's scheduled game against the Gananoque Islanders unknown at press time. It was also the first place Panthers’ fifth win in six meetings over the Raiders on the season. Amherstview meanwhile picked up a pair of

wins over the weekend, besting the Campbellford Rebels 9-5 and Islanders 116 for the Jets’ fourth win in five games. With that strong play the Jets are now 18-103 on the season, one point back of the 18-8-4 Raiders, who did hold one game in hand over the Jets heading into last night’s game. Napanee has 10 games left to play, the Jets nine. A second place finish is realistically the best finish either of the aforementioned clubs could hope for as neither team has much chance of chasing down the 25-4 Panthers, who have 50 points with 11 still left to play. Fortunately for the Raiders and Jets they needn't worry about anything below a third place finish,

as the 9-20-3 Islanders, with 21 points, couldn't catch them even if they went 8-0 down the stretch. Over the next month the cross-county rivals will be battling for nothing more than home ice advantage in their almost-all-but-assured first round meeting in the playoffs. Which ever team finishes with the better record would gain home an extra home game in the best-of-seven series, should it go the distance. Napanee is 9-5-1 at home while the Jets are 9-4-2. Also down the stretch the Raiders will try to solve the Panthers, with whom they have two more regular seasons meetings and gain a bit of confidence should they meet in the finals.

Atom AE Stars roar back to claim International Silver Stick Napanee team overcomes slow start en route to winning championship in Pelham

Beaver Sports

t was in like a lamb, out like a lion at the International Silver Stick Hockey Tournament for the Calderwood Automation Atom AE Napanee Stars this weekend in Pelham. After being held scoreless in back-to-back games to open the tournament, the Stars went on to run the table from there, claiming the international championship. “I thought we’d do pretty well, I didn’t know about winning it but I thought they’d be close games for sure,” said Stars head coach Matt Jarmin. “I thought we had a pretty solid team going into it.” Facing off against the San Jose Junior Sharks in the finals, the Stars quickly fell behind 1-0. However, Stars’ Jayden Holden answered in the second with the tying goal, assisted by Nick Lamarche and Zered Haller. Holden would score two more goals in the third for a momentous hat trick and Napanee would defend their score to the exhilarating final of 3-1. The team members were awarded a trophy and ban-

Napanee won the finals 3-1. ner along with sterling silver pins recognizing their International Silver Stick Championship. Their achievement will also be recognized when their team name is engraved on the Silver Stick plaque and put on display at the Hockey Hall of Fame later this year. “They were really excited to know that they get to have their names in the Hockey Hall of Fame for a little bit,” said Jarmin. Early on, however, it didn’t look like the Stars would

be celebrating on the ice at the end of the weekend. Opening round play on Thursday got off to a slow start for the Stars, falling 40 against the Lincoln Blades and 4-0 against the Halton Hills Thunder. “We just kept working hard and knew we would score eventually,” said Jarmin. “We changed the lineup a bit, moved some players to different positions. We went out and scored a quick goal the next game and didn’t look back from there.”

Friday morning brought a fresh start and renewed purpose to the team, winning 4-1 against the San Jose Junior Sharks. Scoring came from Caleb South, Nick Lamarche, Jake Vanberkel and Duncan Clarke, along with outstanding goal tending from Aiden Vallier. Friday afternoon brought the elimination quarter-final round where Napanee Stars met the Devils out of York, Pennsylvania. Lamarche opened the scoring for the Napanee Stars in the first period.

The Devils would tie it and it remained deadlocked in a 1-1 tie until the third. Karter Vermilyea jump started the scoring for the Stars in the third period to bring it to a 2-1 score. South, Connor McGinnis and Seth Rivers would add to the goal count for an invigorating final score of 51. Saturday morning the Stars were to face the New Jersey Bandits in semifinal play. New Jersey opened the scoring in the second period after an intense scoreless

first. The Napanee team remained resolute and committed to their game plan, executing excellent positional play and providing unrelenting pressure on the Bandits. They were rewarded in the dying seconds of the second period with the critical tying goal from Luke Jarmin. Entering the third period, the desperation of the Bandits to score was repelled through the stellar goal tending of Vallier and the defensive efforts of Ethan Boutilier, Anthony Nugent and Tristan Nijssen. In response Napanee again went on the attack with determination. With what would be the winning and final goal of the game from South minutes into the third, Napanee would hold on for a 2-1 win. The bench staff of Jarmin, Adam Rivers (assistant coach), Gary Clarke (trainer), Wayne Vallier (trainer at large) and Jeff South (manager), along with the parents and families, are proud of the children on this team. The Stars will now gear up for their league playoff run, which begins this weekend.

All told six teams took part in the tournament, which included schools from outside the KASSAA region and served as a bit of a midway checkpoint of the high school basketball season. “It’s great for the kids to get a lot of game action because that’s what a lot of them are lacking,” Heaton said of his young squad. “If

we do happen to make the playoffs, every game action is good for the kids. We’ve got a couple of new guys to the game, so every time we can get some practice against a quality team like this, it’s helpful.” The Hawks were scheduled to return to KASSAA action on Tuesday but the game was postponed due to weather. They are 1-5 thus far into the season, two points out of the final playoff spot which is occupied by the 2-4 QECVI Raiders.

Napanee’s Corbin Votary, seen here as a member of the Quinte Red Devils, has earned a spot on the prestigious East Coast Selects-Team Ontario.

Time simply ran out on the NDSS Golden Hawks junior boys’ basketball team on Friday, cutting short their comeback attempt in the third place game of the NDSS Invitational Tournament. Trailing for the entire second half of the game the host Hawks relied on some clutch three-point shots late but ultimately couldn't catch the Bayridge Blazers, falling 32-29. The Hawks looked poised to enter the game’s half with a slim lead but were bested by a three-point buzzer beater to fall behind 15-14. In the second half the Blazers came out strong, building enough of a lead to just hold off the Hawks' late surge.Thomas Mastin led the way for the Hawks with nine points while Spencer Chatterton chipped in eight. Both Mastin and Evan Maracle hit clutch three-pointers in the second half to put the Hawks within striking distance. Finn Pierce was strong at the post, picking up some key rebounds. Kyle Garrett drained a threepointer in the first half to help get the Hawks offense rolling. “It was pretty well tight the whole way through,” said Hawks head coach Brian Heaton. “It was nice to rotate some different guys in, try some different looks. I was really proud of the effort. We played (Bayridge) earlier in the season and they beat us by 20-pus points, so it was quite a bit of an improvement in just a few weeks time.” NDSS went 1-1 in pool

OFA continues work on key issues in 2016

By Don McCabe, President, Ontario Federation of Agriculture January 8, 2016

This year marks a significant milestone for the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA). For 80 years, OFA has been advocating on the issues and concerns of Ontario’s farmers. Keeping OFA members, who are the majority of Ontario’s farm families and the provincial rural base, at the forefront of consideration of policy discussions and decisions at the various government levels is the proud task of the OFA and its county federations. The business of farming has certainly changed over the years, but many of the issues remain the same. Looking back through OFA’s archives and historical records there are a few concerns that the organization continues to deal with through the decades. Farm property taxation and assessment, energy rates and reliability, land use planning and farmland preservation have been on OFA’s advocacy agenda over the years and remain in high priority. OFA has always kept a close eye on the farm assessment and appeals process to make sure it’s fair. This year marks another farm assessment year for Ontario farms. OFA is taking the results of a recent member survey on the farm property assessment appeals process to government to ensure the process is effective. Farm businesses are subject to a variety of taxes. OFA continues to be involved in any policy discussions related to farmland and farm business taxation, ensuring the voice of the farm business tax payer are heard and receive services to taxes paid. Energy needs and reliability has grown tremendously over the decades. Today, Ontario farmers are dealing with one of the highest electricity rates in North America. These expenses are driving up the cost of doing business, making it harder for Ontario farmers and farm processors to compete on a national and international scale. OFA will continue working with the government this year to secure a competitive industrial/farm electricity rate. Natural gas and access to this lower cost energy source is also on OFA’s list of energy issues. OFA believes natural gas expansion to farms and rural Ontario communities should

be our provincial and federal government’s first priority when it comes to investing in infrastructure in rural Ontario. Natural gas will boost business opportunities by significantly lowering energy costs, and OFA continues to push for better infrastructure across rural Ontario. Natural gas infrastructure is an investment for the future as powering the farm fleet could be possible with biogas supplied from farms as a renewable source. Farmland preservation is always a top priority. The OFA position on this important resource hasn’t changed over the years – farmland preservation is critical. OFA will be participating in consultations this year, reviewing the recently released land use planning recommendations for the Greater Golden Horseshoe area and continue advocating for the overall preservation of Ontario’s farmland. Society demands greater accountability from farmers. From 2015, the concepts and issues associated with sustainability, social license, algal blooms due to agriculture phosphorous use, greenhouse gas emissions, declining biodiversity and others will need to defined and addressed in 2016 with cohesive policy. Ontario farmers are the stewards of the land, who have to be able to integrate all of society’s needs, into a farming business returning profitability not just for the farmer doing it, but supporting the number one industry in Ontario with environmental integrity and societal value. In 80 years of advocacy, OFA has tackled countless issues impacting Ontario farmers, advocating to all three levels of government, policy makers and related industries. We are proud to be the largest and longest serving farm organization in Canada. OFA is proud to serve our members in the number one industry of the province.

Much like their records, the game was a pretty even affair for the most part but the Eagles proved to be just a little stronger winning 25-22, 2519 and 25-17. Trailing for most of the game, the Hawks were able to rally in the first two sets to keep it interesting. Riding the serves of Katie Weese the Hawks rebounded from a 12-7 deficit to start their comeback attempt, even holding a brief 17-15 advantage. In the second they were able to erase a 9-0 start to the set, battling back to trail by just one point at 17-16 before Sydenham pulled

away. Emma Chatterton helped to fuel the rally with a series of ace serves. “They don’t give up,” said Hawks head coach Jill Ardern. “In time outs I felt really comfortable and confident with the comments coming back to me from the girls. For the most part it was the Grade 10s doing that. I’m super excited where they’re all at.” Now at 3-4 on the season, Napanee is holding onto the seventh playoff seed in the KASSAA standings, two up on Ernestown and two back of Frontenac and Sydenham. The top eight teams qualify for the playoffs. The Hawks have four games left to play to try and secure a spot and possibly even climb the standings. “We’ve got great leadership from Hayley Lambert and great play from Jackie Campbell,” said Ardern. “They’re just continuing to improve so I’m super excited and just happy with

where they’re at.” The Hawks will next take on Frontenac this afternoon at home, starting at 5:15 p.m. in what could be a key showdown with large playoff implications. In the senior game the Hawks got a close up look at the league’s powerhouse team, losing in three sets to the now 7-0 Sydenham Golden Eagles. The loss drops the senior Hawks to 1-6 on the season, leaving them mired in a three way tie for 10th with Granite Ridge and La Salle. The Hawks will need wins in at least three of their last four games and some help from the rest of the league if they're to qualify for the KASSAA playoffs. Their next game is this afternoon at home against the 4-2 Frontenac Falcons. NDSS’ boys hockey team started their semester off on the right foot, capturing the St. Peter’s Tournament championship in Peterborough last Wednesday. After

a 4-1 win over Norwood to open the tournament followed by a 2-1 loss to Maxwell Heights. From there they went on a roll, besting Algonquin, Dennis O'Conner High School, St. Mary's and East Northumberland Secondary School to clinch the tournament title. On Monday they returned to KASSAA action with a 5-2 win over the KCVI Blues to move to 3-1 on the season, tied for second with KCVI and Frontenac, two points back of 4-0 Holy Cross. On the girls side the Hawks shutout Regi 3-0 in Kingston on Thursday, posting their second straight shutout victory to move to 4-1 on the year, holding down the second spot in the KASSAA standings, two points back of the 5-0 Holy Cross Crusaders. Napanee took on the Sydenham Golden Eagles yesterday afternoon, results weren’t known at press time.

L&A County hosts craft brewing crash course BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Lennox and Addington County’s economic development department is looking to ‘hop’ on board the rapidly growing craft brewing trend as they search for new ways to attract start up businesses. They’re calling on all local craft brewers who have ever been curious about what it would take to turn their hobby into a business to attend a workshop in Napanee on Jan. 30. Teaming with Frontenac, Hastings and Prince Edward

Counties, they’ll present ‘Starting a Small and Profitable Craft Brewery’, at the L&A County Museum and Archives. “What we see with craft breweries is that there are a lot of different factors that are involved in where your business is located and how you market and brand the beer that you’re producing,” said Stephen Paul, Director, Community and Development Services for L&A. “A lot of that can be based on agriculture and locally-grown products. It can also be based on an interesting architectural buildings, which craft brewers love to be in as well. Craft brewing has a real personality tied to that industry and I think we have that here with the agriculture and buildings. It creates a great uniqueness which we thought is a great way to attract that to the county.” Paul also pointed to the success of Bath’s MacKinnon Brothers Brewing as a great example for the region. Presenting at the Jan. 30 workshop will be Oakville’s Mike Arnold, who founded the Trafalgar Brewing Com-

pany in 1993. The company is recognized as one of Ontario’s most progressive small breweries. Since his first venture Arnold has gone on to open The Old Mill Brewery, Black Creek Historic Brewery, Trafalgar Artisanal Distillery and Brasseries des Quatre Lunes. “I think it’ll be a great opportunity to learn from someone who has gone through the different processes and has been successful and can really speak to the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to starting your own business, particularly starting your own craft brewery,” said Paul. Among the topics covered will be the costs in starting and running a brewery, different types of operations, how to be profitable in a rural community and the pitfalls to be aware of when starting a small brewery. The cost to attend the seminar is $10 per person. Those that are interested must register at www.LennoxAndAddington.com ahead of the event. The workshop will run from 1-3 p.m.

LAST WEEK’S SOLVED

Several friends and well-wishers gathered at the Napanee Legion on Friday to celebrate with Rose Wood (above) on her 90th birthday. Born on a farm in northern Alberta, Wood lived and worked all over Canada and the world before eventually settling in Napanee to be near her husband’s relatives. While in Napanee, Wood “made a circle of new friends amongst the Royal Canadian Legion, L&A Seniors Outreach Services, The Red Hatters, plus any others that needed her help in a volunteering capacity, sharing her life skills and experiences with those who have been fortunate enough to have known her.” Among those who congratulated Rose on her 90th were local MP Mike Bossio and (above) Lennox and Addington County Warden Clarence Kennedy (left) and Greater Napanee Mayor Gord Schermerhorn.
