Testing results prompt groups to go public Findings of leachate chemical off-site spur press conference BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
A process that, for the most part, has been taking place behind closed doors got a very public airing out earlier this week. Representatives of the Concerned Citizens Committee of Tyendinaga and Environs, the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte and Tyendinaga Township held a press conference at the Napanee Royal Canadian Legion branch on Monday to disclose that 1,4 dioxane — a chemical found in leachate that is linked to some cancers — had been discovered in wells south and beyond the property of Waste Management’s now-closed Richmond Landfill site on Beechwood Road west of Napanee. The testing for 1,4 dioxane was done at the request of the CCCTE and its allied group as part of the ongoing Environmental Review Tribunal preliminary hearing process. The ERT, which is a quasi-judicial, independent body that works at arm’s length of the provincial government, is examining the closure plan of the sixdecade-old Richmond Landfill after a successful appeal of the
Ministry of Environment’s approval of that closure plan by the concerned citizens’ groups. “My opinion is that the new evidence is clear and uncontradicted, and it demonstrates three key facts — first, that leachate chemicals have moved from the landfill property into nearby private wells and local groundwater; second, that the leachate contains 1,4 dioxane along with many other chemicals; and third, that the concentrations of leachate chemicals detected off-site exceed reasonable use limits established by the MOE,” said Canadian Environmental Law Association Lawyer Richard Lindgren, who represents the CCCTE. “What no one knows at this time, is how far the leachate plume has travelled in the groundwater flow system,” Lindgren continued. “No one knows the current outer boundaries of the leachate plume, and that’s why all the parties have agreed that yet more testing is required to determine where the leachate is, where the leachate is heading, and what if anything can be done about it.”

Greater Napanee
Mayor reflects on 2013, looks ahead to new year BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
With the start of 2014 and the final year of the fouryear municipal term now underway, Greater Napanee Mayor Gord Schermerhorn sat down with the Beaver last week to weigh in on some of 2013’s highlights as well as outline some of his and council’s goals are for 2014. He said that, last year, council was able to make a lot of headway on beautifying downtown, attracting more tourism and moving forward with aquatic projects. For 2014, though, Schermerhorn said council is not interested in taking on new projects; instead, it plans to work toward paying off debt and keeping taxes low. Some of last year’s greatest successes, according to Schermerhorn, included the opening of the splash pad, being more involved with provincial issues and improving tourism down-
town. “The year before, we started the Big Bright Lights Show downtown and that certainly has made a great addition to our municipality. It has brought shoppers downtown, it’s made our downtown attractive and I’ve had several people from outside of town, even as far away as Cobourg, comment on how nice (the lights) look. That is something that has been very good for our municipality around Christmas time,” said Schermerhorn. Schermerhorn said between Communities in Bloom and increasing boating traffic, downtown Napanee has increased its summer tourism; however, he hopes both these initiatives will continue and expand in 2014. “It would be nice to attract more boaters to our municipality, they certainly are coming but it would be nice to have them come with a steady flow all summer because they spend money in our downtown and make

“In the summer when I see a group of people there with boats, I take them down a Napanee mug, Napanee blanket, and I usually take them down some little gifts and thank them for coming and they appreciate that. I’ve had several of them say they don’t have that happen in other places, so I think that has certainly helped. You have to make people feel welcome, so we’re trying to do that,” said Schermerhorn. In order to do so, he said it is important for everyone to take part in keeping the municipality tidy and welcoming. “I think the main thing is we have to keep our municipality, especially our downtown core, looking good. We have to try to keep more stores and more shoppers. If we don’t have people coming, then the stores won’t be open,” he said. “The downtown core is the hub of our municipality.” This year there were a few initiatives that brought newcomers and locals downtown, including CIB and the opening of a new splash pad. “Our splash pad has been a very good thing for our kids in the municipality,” said Schermerhorn, stating he hopes both the splash pad and the park expand in the future. “I would even like to expand on the splash pad. I think it’s been attractive for the children in the municipality and I think we’re going to do some work on the playground equipment over there so it will be a good location for families to come.” As far as CIB, 2013 was Napanee’s first year back competing in CIB and Schermerhorn said the committee, and the community, did a great job beautifying the municipality. “Communities in Bloom have certainly done a great job. The volunteers and Councillor (Marg) Isbester have done a great job. I think we’d like to see them expand on that next year, which I think they want to do. It’s just a good thing for our municipality.” Schermerhorn encourages the community to get more involved this year, either by joining the committee or planting new gardens of their own. Over the past year there was also a lot of talk and planning regarding a swimming pool. Though Schermerhorn said he does not see the funds coming in for 2014, council is prepared so if and when funds are available, a pool could be erected in Napanee.
“We have to have provincial and federal governments on board with that but until that happens, we’ll try to be ready for whenever that happens, but I’m not hopeful that that’s going to happen. But we’re still striving towards that goal,” said Schermerhorn. As far as other projects are concerned, Schermerhorn said council does not intend to take on any large projects that could set the municipality back financially. “As far as other projects are concerned, we’re not planning any big projects. We’re planning on keeping our infrastructure up in shape and trying to keep the lights on, the heat on, because when we start a big project that means more debt and higher taxes,” he said. “I’ve never been one to announce big projects that I would like to see because I’m a taxpayer just like anyone else and we only get our money from one spot, and that’s the taxpayers from the Town of Greater Napanee. So we’re certainly going to try to keep our roads, our infrastructure up in shape, so future generations do not have to take a great big debt load on to do the things that we should have been doing all along over the years.” Policing costs have been an ongoing concern and Schermerhorn said this is still the case in 2014. “Our policing costs are going up,” he said, stating the municipality plans to lobby the government to assist with policing costs. “I don’t blame the OPP, they’re doing what they’re told by the province, but we just can’t afford these $400,000 increases every year. The new (police budget) formula is supposedly coming out in 2015 if the provincial government ever approves it and puts it in place, but who’s to say if that’s even going to help us? We’re hoping it does. We’re very concerned about what is happening at the provincial level.” Schermerhorn said he hopes council will continue to get more involved in provincial issues. “As a council, we need to give our view on more provincial issues. Whatever happens in the province affects you and me and everyone in it,” he said. As for this fall's election, Schermerhorn said he has not yet made a decision about whether he will run but will make an announcement this spring.

Deseronto Mayor Norm Clark said that he and town council hope to build on some of the successes of 2013. ments available. There will be more than one apartment building, each of which will consist of six to eight apartments. On top of that, Deseronto should be welcoming back a grocery store by the end of the month. Ron Van De Belt bought the old Dixie Lee restaurant location and hope to open ‘Your Town Grocery’ in the next few weeks, Clark said. "I'm really happy that we're getting a new grocery store. That has been one of the big things in our community, especially for seniors," said Clark. The grocery store will include a full deli. Clark said he hopes the community will support the store, and other establishments in Deseronto, by shopping local. “The thing that I’m really hoping for is that once this grocery store opens, that it is well supported. I understand that people need to go out of town to shop for other things because there isn’t anywhere in Deseronto that sells what they want. A lot of the times they’re out of town so they get this and get that, but there are stores in Deseronto that sell the same things. If the community doesn’t support it then it can’t stay open,” he said. A major concern for 2014, as with many years in the past, continues to be policing costs, explained Clark. "Policing costs have been one of the biggest issues in Deseronto over the last few years. We need reduced costs. We’re only a small community, yet our policing costs are really high," he said. A change in policing
costs could take effect in 2015, which Clark said could be beneficial for the town. “If the funding system goes forward, then Deseronto could see our policing costs go down substantially. The down side of it is that while Deseronto’s policing costs go down, other municipalities may go up,” he said. “But we could save a substantial amount and we anticipate a great savings.” Clark said Deseronto Transit improved significantly in 2013, allowing people in Deseronto to get to an from jobs and classes in neighbouring municipalities. He said the transit system also services people in Napanee looking to get to Belleville for college classes or for work. Moving forward, Clark said the $8 million water plant, which the town has partnered with the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, should be a great benefit to both municipalities. “The Town of Deseronto and the Mohawks continue to work together for the better of both communities. This project has been in the works now for a couple of years now. It’s an $8 million project, the provincial and federal governments as well as ourselves and the Mohawks are partnered on that,” he said. As for whether Clark plans to run in this fall's election, he said he is not certain yet but should know within the next month or so. “Honestly, I haven't got a definite answer but I will in February. I believe it’s only right that people know what your intentions, as mayor, are for the future.”

Norm Clark, Mayor of Deseronto, said 2013 was a great year for Deseronto's growth and increased tourism. He said 2014 promises continued growth with the addition of a grocery store, apartment buildings and the hopes of selling more land for further development. In 2013, Clark said Deseronto made a lot of progress on upgrades at Centennial Park. A new playground marked the first phase, with pathways, trees, benches and more development mapped out for 2014. “Money has been received from the town and the federal government. There is a volunteer committee made up of people from Deseronto and they are doing such a great job. We'd like to see more people come out to the fundraising meetings and if they want to get involved, they can contact Dana Valentyne at Town Hall,” said Clark. Further upgrades to the marina are in Deseronto’s future, explained Clark. Tourism, especially along the waterway, is a main focus for the municipality moving forward. Clark expects the installation of new street lights this spring should help to further improve the downtown business area. Moving forward with development along the waterfront, Clark hopes the old Arctic Garden property, which is currently for sale by the municipality, will be sold and developed. “The old Arctic Gardens property is not in the (Culbertson Tract) land claim area so developers can come in and develop that property. That’s what we’d like to see because it has approximately 11 acres of land right down on the waterfront that can be developed,” he said. "We want development and council will assist in any way that we can for people who want to develop in the town, whether it’s an apartment or a private business.” Other lands are for sale by the municipality, many of which were sold in 2013. Some of those lands have resulted in new developments, including 24-30 apartment buildings, which are to begin construction in 2014. “These apartments will be great for the seniors in our community. When they sell their houses, there’s nothing suitable for them in town. Well these apartments, they will come in handy for them," said Clark. He said many will be one-bedroom apartments, but there will also be at least two-bedroom apart-

Picturing Our Community
Wacky process of enviro protection Based on what we saw and heard this week regarding the closed Richmond Landfill and off-site impacts that the dump is having, according to testing results, we have to wonder about the state of environmental protection in the province. Is this really how the system should work? Let’s review. Waste Management closed its approximately 60-year-old landfill in 2011, and submitted a closure plan for the landfill, including a plan for monitoring the site and the land around it. The Ministry of the Environment approved that plan. Local community groups, however — including the Concerned Citizens Committee of Tyendinaga and Environs and the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte — challenged the plan, contending that it did not sufficiently protect the local environment. They took their case to Ontario Environmental Review Tribunal, and the ERT decided to hear them out. Since then, WM, the MOE and those concerned groups have been reviewing the data relating to the closed landfill and been making modifications to the closure plan, all in the hope of avoiding an actual hearing. (As it stands, the hearing is still a possibility, but all sides have checked off a number of matters of dispute). However, through that process we also learned that the old landfill site was impacting wells beyond the landfill’s property boundary. That flies in the face of long-standing claims by WM that leachate impacts were limited to the landfill property. Monday’s press conference by the CCCTE, the MBQ and Tyendinaga Township highlighted the fact that 1,4 dioxane, a common man-made chemical linked to certain types of cancer and a good indicator of the presence of leachate, was found in some residential wells off-site (although none of the affected wells that were tested are currently being used for household use or consumption). The testing for 1,4 dioxane took place at the behest of the concerned citizens groups through the ERT process. It’s fair to say that, if not for the intervention of these third parties, we wouldn’t know about these off-site impacts. And while we can be (and should be) grateful for those groups stepping up to provide some greater transparency, shouldn’t this all be the MOE’s job? The state of the Richmond Landfill is a matter of public interest. It shouldn’t be the responsibility of neighbouring municipalities and private citizens — neither of which have boatloads of financial resources to devote to such things — to ensure the public interest is protected when it comes to the environment. More specifically to the case at hand, 1,4 dioxane is regulated in jurisdictions in the U.S., but there are no guidelines or reporting requirements for the chemical when it comes to Ontario or Canada. Why not? This is troubling for reasons that extend beyond the state of the Richmond Landfill. It suggests to us that the system of environmental protection in Ontario needs a serious rethink.

Thursday, January 16, 2014 OFA FROM PAGE 6 We have already had the opportunity to work with several ministries on behalf of the Ontario agricultural sector to address problematic regulations and to improve the regulatory process. We rely on good regulation to protect our crops and land. And the OFA is continuing to advocate for upfront consultation when regulations are developed to avoid unintended consequences that we often see in the farm sector. We’re also advocating for well-trained enforcement officers who act consistently and with appropriate discretion. The OFA’s third area of focus for 2014 is new ground for us – Ontario’s proposed Not-for-Profit Corporations Act. The OFA supports the intentions of this act to provide more transparency and accountability by not-for-profit corporations to their members. But we feel strongly that it encroaches on the rights that OFA members value. Specifically, the OFA is concerned with the proposed elimination of geographicbased elections. If directors were elected by all voting members at an annual meeting, as the act proposes, we would lose geographic representation and the ability of members to vote for a director in their area. This is an important issue for OFA members. OFA has some specific ideas for how to address this, and other unintended challenges with the act, and we will be bringing them forward to MPPs in the coming weeks. As we begin a new season, the OFA looks forward to continuing our work with government and policymakers, advocating on behalf of Ontario farmers for profitable and sustainable farms. Mark Wales is president of the OFA.

Letter to the Editor
Newburgh-Camden Lions Club makes a difference over holidays The Newburgh-Camden Lions Club has just completed the 2013 Christmas Food Basket distribution. A dozen local families have been given a helping hand in the grocery department. Each family received the supplies for a Christmas dinner and enough additional food to last for many days. Toys
from the Napanee Salvation Army went to younger children. All this is made possible by the diligent work of our local schools collecting non-perishable items and holding events like the ‘jingle bell walk’. Our local stores have donation boxes inside their front doors. The Centreville United Church collects
food donations for us. Individuals even come to us offering to sponsor a family. Many financial donations came from all of those same churches and people, like the Hannahs, the Harts, the Reids, the Saults, and the ‘coffee boys’. The Abrams Bakery in Newburgh donated bread to all of our fami-
lies. We thank everyone who made it possible for us to help again this year. A very happy holiday season to one and all from the NewburghCamden Lions Club. Steve Williams, President
Staff Picks: You’re never too old to change it up Kim Switzer, Supervisor of the Library’s Napanee branch, recently enjoyed The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson, a book she is looking forward to discussing at the branch’s upcoming book club meeting. Here is what Kim has to say: “Allan Karlsson has decided that he has had enough of life at the nursing home where he lives so one hour before his 100th birthday party is about to begin, he puts on his slippers, climbs out of his window and walks away. He doesn’t have a clear plan as to where he is going, he just wants to go. He heads to his closest ticket for escape: the bus station.
While at the bus station, Allan begins his first adventure when asked to watch a young man’s suitcase while he uses the rest-
Catherine Coles Coles’ Notes room. When the young man doesn’t return before Allan’s bus comes, Allan takes the suitcase with him. He knows this is stealing but what can anyone do to a 100-year-old man? The story unfolds when Allan ultimately opens the suitcase and finds it filled with millions of Swedish Krona. From there, he tries to stay one step ahead of
the mob and the police when a warrant for his arrest for triple homicide is issued. He meets several interesting albeit strange characters along the way. The book also contains flashbacks of Allan’s life and how his last hundred years of existence helped influence a number of events in history. This book is very funny and sometimes made me laugh out loud. Some people have described it as the Swedish Forrest Gump. It is the Napanee Branch Library’s book club pick for the month of January. If you would like to join us for our discussion it will be held at 2 p.m. on Jan. 20 in the meeting room located on the upper level. Coffee and desserts will be served.
SWITZER We will be handing out our February selection The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel by Deborah Moggach at that time as well.” This title can be reserved by individuals
(and book clubs!) at the County of Lennox and Addington Public Libraries. Catherine Coles is Manager of Library Services for L&A.

Ethics or kindness — that is the question Once a week, I volunteer to feed some waterfowl at the pond at Picton’s Glenwood Cemetery. My days are usually Tuesdays and the over 100 mallards, 12 black ducks and the two resident two Asian geese now recognize my car the moment I drive through the gate. At least, that’s what we think the ornamental geese are. No one seems to know for sure. The other day, I was surprised to see an American wigeon stepping up to the dinner table when I tossed my pail of cracked corn onto the ice. It hasn’t been an easy winter to take on this responsibility. On Dec. 20, the day of the freezing rain storm, I gave the corn a toss over the fence and watched it as it slid down the embankment and onto the ice where the ducks clambered up onto the surface and gorged themselves. Since the ice storm, the gate leading into the compound has been encased in ice. Another day, I was there during a heavy snowfall. Two weeks ago, I spent 30 minutes chipping away at the ice and was able to free the gate for other volunteers to enter. The waterfowl seem appreciative of the offerings from the several volunteers who have taken on this task. Feeding waterfowl in the winter is noth-
ing new. It supplements their regular diet and just for a few minutes, reconnects us with wildlife and provides us with a sense of peace and tranquillity, obtainable only from nature in this fast paced world in which we live. I am sure that I am not the only one at Glenwood who carries on a quiet conversation with the residents of the pond for the few minutes that I am there. I find our brief interconnection very calming. However, something always nags me about this weekly ritual I have found myself involved in this winter. By feeding these ducks, are we doing the responsible thing for nature? Are these ducks beginning to depend on us now? We’re torn between offering some assistance during a brutal winter or letting Nature take her own course. It has not been an easy winter on wildlife. A couple weeks ago, a tundra swan was found frozen in the ice at Wellington. Mortality is apt to be high this winter. However, on a winter bird count back in December, we came upon fully 900 Mallards bobbing around amongst the ice flows near Waupoos, so they do manage quite nicely in winter despite an erroneous belief that mallards migrate south with the advent of winter. This little pock-
Terry Sprague
Outdoor Rambles et of mallards has decided to winter at Glenwood, and if I were a mallard at the Glenwood pond, I wouldn’t venture out onto Lake Ontario these days on a dare. In their limited open water at the cemetery, food resources must be running low and winter shows no sign of letting up just yet. So, what is the issue of trying to help them out a bit, until spring sends them on their way? This winter, eastern Ontario is experiencing the greatest irruption of snowy owls in four decades. They are everywhere! Life down here has been good to them; that is, until the ice storm in late December. Suddenly, rodents under the snow were no
longer available to them due to an impenetrable layer of icy crust that prevented the owls from accessing their normal food supply. Do we help? Or, do we just let nature dictate the outcome? The cycles of nature are great, but its laws are relentless. Even under normal conditions there is mortality. During ice storms like we had a few weeks ago, local populations can be decimated, at least, temporarily. Generally, they recover quite quickly from occasional setbacks. Only about 30 per cent of all fledged songbirds, for example, live to see another year. Yet, the remaining ones ensure the survival of the species. We all know though, that many species are not recovering — difficult winters, insecticides, migration hazards, and habitat loss — all are taking a toll beyond the ability of some species to recover to sustainable numbers. We feel obligated to help. And we can go on and on, leading us into the subject of backyard birdfeeding. We now know that birdfeeding does absolutely nothing to migratory instincts or the ability of birds to fend for themselves. Birds treat our bird feeders as nothing more than another stop in a daily routine, using our feeders for only 20
per cent of the time. It is an enjoyable pastime, pure and simple, and there is nothing wrong with that. So, it boils down to two issues — an ethical-educational and a realistic-biological one. What we consider noble, helpful and good according to how some of us view things, is not necessarily logical and advisable in terms of nature. However, whether it is maintaining a backyard bird feeder, feeding ducks during difficult times, or throwing some live mice to a snowy owl that has not seen anything remotely resembling food in several days, makes contact with local wildlife possible. The practice, whether ethical or not, creates the prerequisites for a greater understanding of the needs of the feathered, which ultimately leads to a stronger connection to wildlife and conservation. How can we argue with that? I will be at Glenwood Cemetery with my offering again next week. For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 613 476 5072.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago January 15, 1964 n The Board of Education in Deseronto voted to disband following an agreement to continue purchasing education services from Napanee for the next two years. The decision came a few months after Deseronto closed its own high school and sent its students to NDSS for instruction on a per-day fee basis. The former high school had been kept open to allow for some night classes — although some classes only had three or four students. A new Deseronto Board of Education would have to be formed to address elementary school education matters. n The Prince Edward-Lennox Federal Progressive Conservative Riding Association was going to get an A-list speaker for its upcoming rally. Former PC Prime Minister John Diefenbaker was to speak in front of the local Tories at NDSS. The current Leader of the Opposition would also make a few other stops in Napanee, including having lunch at the home of local MP Douglas Alkenbrack, and taking part in a tea organized by the Lennox PC Women’s group.
35 Years Ago January 17, 1979 n A television set was pegged as the cause of a fire that gutted a Camden Road home’s basement. The Napanee Fire Department estimated that $25-30,000 worth of damage was caused by the blaze, which started in the middle of a Monday afternoon. Fire crews were alerted to the fire at around 3:40 p.m.; by 5 p.m., the fire was extinguished. n A Shannonville man was facing a couple of charges after a collision in Richmond Township. A westbound car driven by the Shannonville man collided head on with a car headed east, driven by a Napanee man, on Belleville Road. All those involved in the accident — including both drivers, along with the wife and infant daughter of the Napanee man — were taken to hospital for treatment and ultimately released. The Shannonville man was charged with impaired driving and driving a vehicle with alcohol readily available.

Dirt: our most valuable resource Recently, I enjoyed a car ride with my son that took several hours. It was an opportunity for both of us to ask each other questions and indulge in listening to the answers, taking the time to explore all of the corners of issues as we rode down the highway. As they say, the journey is often more important than the destination. This was certainly true on this occasion. Son Ben attends agricultural college in Ridgetown, Ontario. Deep in the heartland of this provinces food belt, Ridgetown operates under the Agricultural department of the University of Guelph. Conversation moved from one thing to another and landed for a time on the topic of soil. Dirt. Loam. The stuff that plants grow in and Mom told you to keep out of the house. If you don’t give, you don’t get. Ben reflected on the experience one of his classmates is having with his farming family. Making a living ‘off the land’ for several generations, this kid was working on some post secondary education before he committed himself to work with his father and uncle full time on the family farm. I asked “So, he would be a useful resource for his Dad and Uncle, given the new knowledge that he has about current farming practices, then, right?” “Wrong Dad. His Dad and Uncle know it all (snicker).” Ben went on to explain that the family farmed over 1,000 acres last year and did not make any money in spite of record commodity prices. “Why?” I asked. “Because they just keep
plowing the same soil and putting the same crops in. They don’t use cover crops or rotate their crops as we are taught in our Crop Sciences class.” The return per acre was way below that expected on a well managed farm. “Interesting” I think to myself.
and Greek culture. He stops at different points in time to come to the same conclusion: eroding soil erodes societies. The Amazon rainforest and the African Sahel are areas that are currently under soil stress. “A hundred years is like a blink in geological terms, so if that is what it takes to get rid of the rest of the topsoil that is going to come frighteningly soon! We will be dead, but still, it is frighteningly soon because it is not that many generations away. Kids being born today may be alive 100 years from now and their kids are going to inherit the soil that can feed them or the infertile subsoil that won’t.”
The Value of Soil There is an entire country that has done much the same thing. Over several generations Haiti denuded the land of all trees, exposed the soil to wind and rain erosion, planted it with the same crops year after year and today — guess what? — it is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere. Coincidence? Earthquakes and political disasters notwith- Soil is a living thing As a gardener I am standing, I don’t think so.

The add compost and sharp ‘secret’ is the addition of sand to the perennial beds the now famous ‘night soil’: every second year the proa combination of human, ductive cycle of flowering animal and plant ‘waste’ and seed production drops that has been processed noticeably.

raw organic material that, as it rots, feeds the bacteria and insect life that converts it into something that plant life can use. Mycorhizae and a host of insects finish the job. And so the cycle continues. Our gardens do not generally benefit from rotting tree limbs or the fallen leaves unless we leave them there intentionally. All too often we blow our leaves into a pile with a power assisted leaf blaster and bag them up for the municipality to haul away. Does that make sense? No, I didn’t think so. There are some people who argue that the most valuable natural resource in Canada is not oil or natural gas or even our fresh water. It is our soil. I agree with this group. Through reading and experience I have learned that our willingness to add to and enhance the quality of our soil, to ‘invest’ in it in every way possible, not only makes eminent sense but is a necessity if we plan on farming and gardening sustainably. Perhaps you will think that there is very little that a gardener can do on a small residential lot or condo balcony to enhance and protect the soil that feeds us. Maybe so, maybe not. Truth is our attitude towards soil and the enduring qualities that it possesses when treated with due respect is an attitude that is rooted firmly at home. That should be good enough reason to soilsave if you ask me. Mark Cullen appears on Canada AM every Wednesday morning at 8:40 a.m. He is spokesperson for Home Hardware Lawn and Garden.

LANDFILL | Testing results were made public: site manager CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Randy Harris, manager of the Richmond Landfill site and the proposed new Beechwood Road Environmental Centre, said WM does have a good understanding of that leachate plume. “We haven’t got approval from the ministry to define exactly where this contaminated attenuation zone is. That’s going to happen very soon in the future. We’ve got wells in that area that we’ve tested, we’ve got additional wells outside
that area, it’s just a matter of collecting the data and reviewing it with the ministry… and we will also be reviewing it with these people that had the press conference, through the ERT,” Harris told the Beaver in a telephone interview on Tuesday. “At the end of the day — whether it’s a few months from now or in the summer — everybody is going to agree that the closed Richmond Landfill is being properly monitored,” Harris said. “We’re very close.

There’s no ‘smoking gun’ there. There are no big surprises. We know exactly what’s going on here.” According to Poh-Gek Fokert, a toxicologist who has worked for both the CCCTE and the MBQ, 1,4 dioxane is a relatively common chemical that is found in a wide range of materials. “It is used as a solvent in paints and varnishes and strippers. It is found in cosmetics. It is found in food. It is found in pesticide. It’s found everywhere,” she said at Monday’s press conference. She also said that the chemical is linked to the development of liver cancer and nasal cancer. She also noted that while jurisdictions in the United States have put safety limits on how much 1,4 dioxane can be found in groundwater and drinking water — usually at around three parts per billion — Ontario and Canada have no set groundwater or drinking water standard when it comes to 1,4 dioxane. At the press conference, the CCCTE noted that 1,4 dioxane was found at levels in excess of the U.S. standard, ranging from 6.5 parts per billion to

15.9 parts per billion in the affected wells. “We forced WM to test of 1,4 dioxane, because (it) has been discovered to be the best leachate indicator for dumps, and up until this time WM refused to do any of this kind of testing,” said CCCTE Chair Mike Bossio. “Now we finally forced their hand and proved that they do have these cancer-causing chemicals that are leaving their site in high concentrations. And this is what is so frustrating for us, as a community group, that we have to force them to do this.” “I am concerned about the possibility of transboundary contamination affecting our lands,” said MBQ Chief R. Donald Maracle. “WM needs to find out as quickly as possible how far the off-site the 1,4 dioxane contaminant plume has travelled, and provide proper notification to us and to the public.” “There is no provincial drinking water standard for this parameter, so I understand that WM’s position is there is no obligation to report it,” said Lindgren. “We say, no, the finding of this substance at
these particular concentrations is significant, and that’s why we’re here today… We think it’s important, it’s imperative to get the word out now that this is the kind of substance now found in the leachate plume that we know is off site.” Harris said that the findings of 1,4 dioxane were noted in the landfill’s fall report for 2013, which is a public document. He said it will also be noted in the landfill’s semi-annual report, which will be released this week. He said the 1,4 dioxane findings stem from testing that was conducted in May 2013. “We put out a manager’s letter (in November) to our neighbours, explaining the situation to them,” Harris said. “We let our close neighbours know. All our testing data is an open book. We hand deliver it to the four municipalities out here (Greater Napanee, Deseronto, Tyendinaga and the MBQ)… our semiannual report that has most of our testing data on it comes out tomorrow. That will be hand-delivered to all these folks, and
it will be posted on our web page for anybody who wants to look at it.” The CCCTE and its affiliated groups also suggested that the latest testing results should prompt WM to withdraw its BREC plans for a new, larger landfill site located near the old site. “In light of what we now know, my client calls upon WM to do the right thing, which is to withdraw its application for the BREC landfill and to concentrate all of its energy and all of its resources on fixing the mess at the Richmond Landfill site,” Lindgren said. “They’re comparing a landfill from the middle of the last century to what we’re planning to build for BREC,” said Harris. “There is no comparison, the level of protection with engineered landfills, liner systems and leachate collection systems and monitoring systems. You can’t compare it to when this landfill started 60 years ago… The groundwater will be protected by not only extensive liner systems but also an extensive monitoring system.”

Youth Drop-In Centre Gets A Boost From OPP
National U21 tourney back at Fairgrounds Ballpark
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
For the second time in five years Softball Canada has tabbed Napanee to host a Men’s Canadian Fastpitch Championship. Scheduled for August 2015, the tournament will feature the country’s top U21 amateur players vying for Canada’s top prize. “Softball Napanee is pleased that Softball Canada has awarded the 2015 U21 Canadian Championships to Napanee,” said Stephen Paul, an executive for Softball Napanee. “It is a wonderful opportunity to once again host Canada’s finest fast pitch players. Napanee has a significant softball history and we are looking forward to another exciting Championship at the Fairgrounds Sports Complex.” Napanee has hosted five Canadian Fastpitch Championships, the latest in 2011. The town was represented by two teams that year — the 2010 defending champion North Key Construction Napanee Express and host team Shoeless Joe’s Express. They would go on to capture silver and bronze respectively to become the first town to ever medal twice at the event. Nova Scotia captured the gold in front of a packed
Richard Dickson Diamond crowd. Which teams will compete at the 2015 event will be determined at qualifying tournaments, typically held the June and July prior to the championships. As host team Napanee will earn an automatic berth. Last year’s U21 championship, held in Owen Sound, saw Napanee’s juniors again win silver, this time falling to Wiarton in the finals. The host team for the 2015 event will likely include players from that team as well as some of the current midget team. This coming August the U21 Championships will be held in Irma, AB, Aug. 11-17. Napanee has previously hosted the event in 1982, ‘88, ‘92 and ‘02, all at the midget level. In 2011 they hosted the last ever U23 championship as Softball Canada dropped the age limit down to U21 the following year. Napanee-area teams have won a National gold medal on six occasions, starting in 1982 when the Napanee Legionnaire Midgets went all the way. In 1986 the North Fredricksburgh Kings followed suit. The ‘97 and ‘03 Midget Express were also champions as well as the ‘96 and 2010 Junior Express.

Napanee Youth Drop-In Centre’s Beth Lessard accepts a $672 cheque from Napanee OPP Constable Mike Shea. The money was raised through the sale of prints of Pat Shea’s original painting titled ‘1064’, which he donated to the Napanee OPP Detachment last May. The painting is named for the police code for ‘proceed with caution.’ Now in its third year, the Youth Drop-In Centre is run by the Town of Greater Napanee and offers kids a place to play games and stay active after school.

Special needs teacher wraps up career at NDSS School-to-Community mainstay Gail Burtch set to retire after a rewarding two decades
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
At the end of the semester, Napanee District Second-
ary School will be losing a greatly respected teacher, role model and friend. School-to-Community teacher Gail Burtch retires this month after more than • Interior Design • Home Staging • Window Treatments • Organization • Painting • Colour Consultations

20 years. She reflected on the students she has helped and the ones that have helped her grow, as well as how inclusiveness and the School-to-Community program has changed over the past two decades. After working for Ongwanada in Kingston, providing respite care for persons with developmental disabilities, Burtch decided she wanted to help disabled people learn in the classroom. In 1994, after a few contracts, she was offered a full-time position at NDSS. At the time, Butch said inclusion in the community and in the school was not

widely accepted for those with disabilities. Burtch, along with other School-toCommunity teachers at NDSS, made it their goal to get their students in the community as much as possible, which not only encouraged inclusion but also improved students’ social skills. “We’ve had a lot of changes and they’ve been really good changes. When I first arrived, inclusion was more difficult. We had kids that were able to take courses but weren’t able to take courses back then because we (School-to-Community) weren’t really part of the high school, we were just kind of housed in this room here (C12),” said Burtch. “It was very difficult but over the years students have been able to go into classes and inclusion is now so much more a regular thing that happens. Teachers accept the students and kids are actually getting a lot of credits now.” Burtch said in her career, she has watched inclusion evolve from developmental students unable to obtain any school credits, to some students being able to achieve all their credits and graduate alongside the rest of the NDSS graduating class. “We do have some students now who are getting their Grade 12 diploma, which is really exciting. Unfortunately, back when I started, we had a few of those students as well but they didn’t have those opportunities,” she said. “Anybody that does want to get that, if that’s their goal, nobody can stop them now. They can have that goal,” she said.
Retiring, for Mrs. Burtch, as most students know her, is bittersweet. Though she says she will miss her students, she said it’s time for her 20-yearplus career to end. “I’m really sad about leaving but I’m at a point where sometimes it’s not fun to come in, in the morning,” she said through tears in the classroom she’s worked in for over 20 years. “I’ll miss the kids desperately but so much is based on paperwork and you’re not dealing with the kids as much as you used to. The whole point of our kids is trying to help them become more socially acceptable, to help them reach their potential. And when you’re dealing with all of the paperwork and you’re worried about having the meetings, and things like that, that’s pulling away a lot of the fun of being just with the kids. So I think that’s one of the sad things.” Burtch said while inclusion has increased, funding has decreased, putting new strains on the School-to-Community program, as well as the parents and caregivers of the students who participate in the program. “I think one of the sad things that has happened is the money isn’t there for the support that we had. Way back, I remember that we had a bus at our disposal. If we wanted to take kids down to the grocery store to do some comparison shopping, we’d just say ‘come and get us, we want to go shopping for an hour’ or we could go to the fire station or anywhere within
the community. That bus was at our disposal,” she said. This allowed for the students to develop important social skills that they may not have the opportunity to develop otherwise. Without the bus, Burtch said it could cost almost $200 to take the students into town for an afternoon and in order to do so those funds must be fundraised. “Our kids need life skills, they need to get out, they need to experience buying things, going to McDonalds, going up in the lineup and practicing doing things like that, but we just don’t have the bus to get us there or the money to get us there,” she said. But with increased inclusion, Burtch said the community has stepped up and many organizations, such as the Rotary Club of Napanee and the Napanee Lion’s Club, donate to S c h o o l - t o - C o m m u n i t y, which allows the class an outing almost once a month. Burtch is also involved with Napanee’s Special Olympics and said she does not plan to retire from this role anytime soon. “Being with Special Olympics I’ll still be around a lot of these kids,” she said. A retirement party is being held for Burtch at the Strathcona Paper Centre on Feb. 2 from 2-5 p.m. “I would love anybody, any families that I’ve worked with over the years, any students I’ve worked with, to come in and say hi. We’re going to put on a whole lot of food and just come in, say hi, and sign my book,” said Burtch.

Raiders work overtime in back-to-back games An OT loss and win puts Napanee seven points back of final Empire B playoff position
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Ontario Hockey Association’s overtime format was a double-edged sword for the Napanee Raiders this week, helping them collect three of four points while allowing their opponents to squeeze out a point of their own. On the plus side, the fact that the losing team gets one point for just making it to overtime was a blessing on Friday as the Raiders fell 2-1 in Port Hope. At home on Tuesday it was a curse as they defeated the Amherstview Jets 6-5 in overtime. By gaining just one point on the Jets they now trail them by eight in the standings. With the win Napanee has now earned five points in their last six games, doing everything they can to stay on the very fringe of the playoff race. “There’s definitely some urgency,” Raiders coach Mike Hartwick said of the recent stretch. “We know what we’re up against. But at the same time we’re getting better. We are improving. At the end of the day is it going to be enough? I don’t know, but we’re going to play hard right to the end and see where we end up.” Napanee was a mere 35 seconds away from a regulation win on Tuesday before extra attacker Zach
Masterson converted on a mad scramble in front of the net to knot the game at 5-5. That goal spoiled a spirited comeback by the Raiders, who had fought back from down 4-2 with three unanswered goals in the third. Tyler Romaine, Mitch Pearce and Chris Doyle powered the comeback. Josh St. Peter would play the role of saviour for Napanee, potting the game winner at the 3:39 mark of OT. Bud Norris and Austin Boulard had Napanee's first two goals. “I thought in the first we were good, early on in the second we were good but for whatever reason there was a 10 minute span where we were not good at all,” said Hartwick, referring to a stretch that saw the Jets overcome a 21 hole to jump in front 4-2. “We didn’t support our goalie (Josh) Lasher at all. We had some defensive break downs that they ended up scoring on.” Kyle Copeland replaced Lasher in the third, allowing just one goal for the win. Bud Norris and Austin Boulard had Napanee’s first two goals. Friday night in Port Hope goals were at a premium as both sides failed to find the scoresheet in the first 20 minutes. Ryan Casselman gave the Raiders the lead at the 14:56 mark of the second but was offset by Dylan
Adam Prudhomme-Staff
Despite getting tangled up with his own defenceman Jake Falcao (no. 22) and Amherstview’s Josh Leblanc, Napanee goalie Josh Lasher managed to keep the puck out of the net on this play. Napanee’s netminder made 36 saves over the game’s first two periods. Baxter’s tally in the final seconds of the frame. The score remained 1-1 until the 1:09 mark of overtime when Brandon Durst sent the home fans home happy. Lasher took the loss, stopping 29 shots in the process. Road woes have been an ongoing problem for the Raiders, who are now 3-91-2 away from the Strathcona Paper Centre. When wearing their home black
jerseys they are 9-7, including wins in six of seven. “Our road record needs to improve,” said Hartwick. “It needs to improve starting Saturday. We need to acclimate ourselves and play. Campbellford’s a much smaller rink. There’s not much room out there. You’ve got to be hard on the puck in smart areas and need to get it in deep.” Following Saturday’s road visit they will host
those same Rebels on Tuesday for a 7:30 p.m. puck drop. Campbellford’s recent hot play has seen them shoot up the standings this week, climbing into a tie with Amherstview for second in the league with 35 point. The Rebels hold a game in hand with nine left to play. Napanee now finds themselves chasing Port Hope for the final playoff spot, trailing them
by seven points (34-27). The Panthers have 11 games left to play while the Raiders have nine. Napanee’s record sits at 12-16-12 compared to the Panthers’ 15-10-0-4. Picton continues to play on a completely different level, going 30-1-1. For his three point effort on Tuesday, Pearce is the Ontario Milk Marketing Board Raider of the week.
Storm offense remains AWOL in Friday’s loss to Rebels Deseronto deals top scorer Jared Boomhower to Port Hope for a 16-year-old card and cash
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Despite potting twice as many goals as their previous three games combined, the Deseronto Storm still wound up on the wrong side of Friday’s 7-2 game against the visiting Campbellford Rebels. Brandon Turner and Johnny Maracle scored for the offensively-starved Storm, both in the first period. Jesse Burtch had the lone Storm assist of the game, coming on the first goal. Maracle’s came late in the opening period while his team was on a penaltykill. That goal also cut the Rebels’ lead 3-2. Former Storm captain Nick Ferguson pushed the Rebels’ lead to 4-2 in the second. Ryan Crowley, Jon
Samis and Andy Paul each found the back of the net in the third to ice Campbellford’s win. Brock Tufts kept his team within striking distance for most of the game, stopping 53 of the 60 shots he saw, 27 of which came in the first 20 minutes. Goals won’t be any easier to come by for the now 3-26 Storm as after the game they announced they had dealt their top scorer, Jared Boomhower, to the Port Hope Panthers. In exchange for the forward, who has 11 goals and eight assists in 29 games, the Storm received the Panthers’ 16-year-old player allotment card, the rights to two players come June 1 and cash considerations. Boomhower’s rights will also return to the Storm for
the 2013-14 season. His departure leaves Maracle, who has seven goals, as the team’s biggest offensive threat. Turner and Chris Roglasky, with nine points each, now share the lead in that category. With Friday’s win, coupled with a loss and win against Picton and Amherstview respectively, the suddenly red-hot Rebels have reeled off five wins in their last six. A stretch that started with a 9-1 win against Deseronto on Dec. 28. They’re now playing their best hockey when it counts, finding themselves right in the thick of the Empire B League playoff race. Once in a bit of a dogfight with the Napanee Raiders for the final playoff spot, the Rebels have catapulted into a tie for second
in the league with a 16-121-2 record. Both have 35 points though the Rebels have nine games remaining compares to Amherstview’s eight. Port Hope is just one point back of both. The second place team would have home ice advantage against the third seeded team in the first round of the playoffs while the fourth seed would take on one of the province’s best teams in Picton. Meanwhile the Storm, far removed from any race, will continue to play out the string and look towards next year. They have a tough road match against the Picton Pirates tonight before returning home Saturday to host the Panthers. Both games start at 7:30 p.m.

JAKE FALCAO
Jake Falcao picked a great time for his third goal of the year, helping his Napanee Raiders to a 6-5 overtime win. The rookie defenceman also has 16 assists in 30 games this year. Along with his 19 points he provides a steady presence on the blueline. He’ll play a huge role in the Raiders’ quest to clinch a playoff spot.

Napanee Minor Hockey Report
Midget Stars begin OMHA playoff quest Beaver Sports
Napanee’s two midget teams started best-of-five playoffs early to finish before exams begin, and played through the weekend. The Minor Midgets faced top guns, Quinte West, in a home tilt on Saturday night. After spotting the visitors a goal, Jacob Wales made a nifty move near their blueline to take a shot that Kier Doyle converted on the rebound. Anderson Scott earned the other assist. Down 3-1, they got one back in the last 40 seconds after removing the goalie for an extra attacker, but it ended 3-2 Quinte West. Sunday in Trenton, the boys fell 3-2 as well. Game 4, if necessary, will be tonight at 6:30 p.m. in Napanee. n The second game of Lakeshore League playdowns between Napanee Major Midgets and Uxbridge was Monday night at the SPC. The Stars were down in the series 0-1 after their first game Saturday and needed to return to the level of intensity the boys had demonstrated in their last games of regular season. The team did not disappoint. Solid offensive and defensive efforts by the Major Midgets saw the boys gain control of the play, in particular the second and third periods,

upsetting Uxbridge’s game plan and composure. James Hanley did not see many shots on goal but was brilliant to those he did. Scoring for the Stars were Adam Weatherhead, Matt Davis and Josh Durnan, with well-earned assists by Josh Benn, Jeremy Martin, Keegan Scott, Jon Harvey, Brock Clark and Colsen Bertrand. Game 3 is Thursday back in Uxbridge with game four Saturday at 9 p.m. at the SPC. n In the last week of the season, the Spuds Griddle Atoms moved from ninth to fifth with teamwork, dedication and heart. The Stars started a four game stretch at home facing Whitby White for a solid 3-1 win over the current second place team. Protecting Napanee’s house was Emerson Kennelly and Ray Mullins with goals by Mills, Mundle and White, assisted by White, Holmes, Hearns and Eakins. Quinte West was the home ice on Thursday where again the Stars took the win with a solid team effort and a hat trick by Brooks, with one for White and Mundle. White (four), Reid, Bailey, Mills, Boutilier and Holmes all had assists. A strong defense by Uens, Maracle, Eakins and White and Kennelly in the net was key in the 5-3 win for Napanee. Friday the Stars travelled to Cobourg. Mullins was in net the Stars, and they had a 2-1 lead, but with just 29 seconds left in the game, Cobourg found the back of the Stars’ net to tie the game 2-2. Napanee goals were scored by Bailey and Hearns, with help from Holmes and Boutilier. Mullins was between the posts for their 4-1 win over the Generals. They got one goal from Brooks, a beauty from defensemen Blake Maracle at the point, and singles from Holmes and a third period buzzer beater by White. They got help from Reid (two), Bailey and Brooks. In fifth they will face Quinte West or Whitby Blue in the first round. n The Napanee L&A Mutual Insurance Minor
Atom Stars completed the regular season going 3-0 to gain a berth in the OMHA playoffs. Wednesday the minor atoms took on Kingston, and after taking a quick 20 lead in the game the Stars gave up a pair to the hosts late in the second, but soon took the momentum back, and scored two more to secure a 4-2 victory. Scoring for Napanee was Reid Lambert with a pair, Logan Lalande and call-up Spencer Cranley with one each. Helpers went to Mason Arthur, Tyler Brady and Ben Albright. Ryan Aldridge went the distance in goal. Saturday they returned home, and took on the pesky Oshawa Generals and held on to win 1-0 on a power-play goal by Braden Bannon assisted by Jakob Dacosta. Nathaniel Cinnamon made some timely saves. Sunday the Stars once again hit the 401 to Whitby and came home with a 7-4 victory. Goal scorers were Albright with a hat trick, Lambert with two, Quinton Pierce with one and Mason Arthur scoring his first of the season. Helpers went to Pierce with two, Albright, Dacosta, Lalande, Zach Slaven and Austin Catena all with one each. Aldridge and Cinnamon both saw action in nets. The Stars will now prepare to meet Whitby Blue in the first round of the playoffs. n The Boyd Electric Peewees played four games in five nights in their push to the playoffs. Wednesday, they tied Quinte West 4-4, with Ryan Kirkpatrick netting all four tallies. Friday in Cobourg they won again 4-2, and had an identical win in Whitby, but Sunday, home to Cobourg, they got goals from Kyle Garrett and Liam Wilkinson in a 42 loss. The peewees know they’ll play Whitby White in the first round, but no schedule was set as of presstime. n The Giant Tiger Minor Peewees closed out their season with three games at the SPC, and thanks to weather, played four games in five nights. They lost 6-3 in Trenton, and fell 8-1 to
Whitby. Zack Doyle got the lone tally for the Stars. At home on Sunday facing Clarington, Zack Doyle continued to find the back of the net with a pair, and Russell Rogers chipped one in as well, but it wasn’t enough. n The Napanee Exit Realty boys had another solid showing last week, defeating Oshawa 4-1. Alex Brady had three goals for the home squad in the win, one of which was a breakaway that he created by blocking a point shot to go in alone. Kiel Benton made a fine play to beat the defenceman and set up Ryan McLay for the fourth tally. In their home game on Saturday against Whitby White, they could not generate any offense losing 2-0. In Cobourg they came out strong leading 2-0 after two periods, thanks to blasts by Steven Shea, but lost 3-2 to close out the regular schedule. n On Saturday afternoon, the Country Traditions Novice As controlled all phases of the game on their way to a dominating 22-0 win over the Ajax Knights. Scoring for Napanee were, Captain Cal Uens (five), Spencer Cranley (seven), Nolan Fox (four), Carter McKee (two), Taylor Gilmour, Ty Kemp, Lukas Hannah and Jack Madden. Assists went to Brody Beaubien (five), Gilmour (five), McKee (four), Fox (three), Cranley (three), Uens (two), Will Myers (two), Kemp (two), Ethan Sutcliffe and Hannah. Napanee Stars netminder Jacob Brown stood tall between the pipes for the shutout win. On Sunday afternoon, the Stars were home to the Cobourg Cougars. Once again the Stars dictated the pace of play throughout the game for a decisive 100 win. Scoring for Napanee were Cranley (five), Uens (two), Gavin Brooks, Beaubien and McKee. Assists went to Madden (two), Myers (two), Sutcliffe (two), Gilmour, Beaubien, McKee and Brooks.

MILLER, Elsie
鵹鵺 Beyond my smiles, there lies a tear For a brother I lost and loved so dear, Silent thoughts of times together, Hold memories that will last forever, I know a smile I’d love to see, A hand I’d love to touch, I know a voice I’d love to hear, A face I love so much. As time goes by without you, And days turn into years, They hold a thousand memories And a thousand silent tears. I miss your jokes and your witty ways, I miss the things you used to say, One-in-a-million, that was you, Loved by everyone you knew, Holding your hand as you started your journey, It broke my heart to lose you, You did not go alone. For part of me went with you, Sadly missed, The day God called you Home. but not forgotten For those of you who have brothers, Love always, Treat him with care, brother Jim, Shirley You will never know the emptiness, and Families As when you turn and he is not there.
MOON - In memory of loving parents, grandparents and greatgrandparents, Doris, January 14, 2004 and Clayton, October 21, 2008. Gone are the days we used to share, But in our hearts you’re always there, Never more than a thought away, Loved and remembered every day. Loved and sadly missed by sons Jack and Don and their families. OLIVER - In loving memory of our dear sister, Mildred, who passed away January 22, 2012. Peacefully sleeping, Resting at last, The world’s weary troubles And trials are past, In silence she suffered, In patience she bore, Until God called her Home To suffer no more. Marion, Maysil, Louise and Lois. OLIVER - In loving memory of our mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother, Mildred, who left us softly and gently on January 22, 2012. Things I feel most deeply Are the hardest things to say, Dearest Mom, I loved you In a very special way, If I could have one lifetime wish, One dream that could come true, I’d pray to God with all my heart For yesterday and You. We love you Mom, Elvin, Carol, Garry and family. SAGRIFF - In memory of a loving husband, father, father-in-law and papa, Gerald, who passed away 5 years ago on January 16, 2009. So much has changed since you’ve been gone, Through ups and downs our lives moved on, But as time rolls by one thing remains true, We’ll always have memories of you. Sadly missed and always loved by Pat, Corinna, Jason, Chris, Isabella, Noah, Angelina and Aiden.

Madison Violet make Tamworth debut BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
PE 300 RM G ON B TH
Musical duo Madison Violet is set to perform in Tamworth later this month, promising to provide an entertaining evening of new and old material, including some of their not-yet-released album. This will be the first 2014 Tamworth-Erinsville Community Development Committee Concert Series performance, which is set for Jan. 25 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance. The duo, made up of Toronto-based artists Brenley MacEachern and Lisa MacIsaac, both have roots in Nova Scotia. They have been nominated for, and won, a number of folk and Canadian music awards over their 14-year career, including 2010 JUNO and ECMA nominations and winning the 2011 Independent music folk singer-songwriter ‘Song of the Year’ for “The Ransom.” MacIsaac said Tamworth’s performance would consist of a mixture of their
music throughout their career, which consists of five albums. Madison Violet is also working on a new album and said they plan to preview a few of those songs. “It will be a collection of songs through our whole catalogue and we’ll be testing out some new songs. We’re in the middle of recording our new album so we’re probably going to try some of those out if the audience doesn’t mind being our guinea pigs for the evening,” said MacIsaac. MacEachern said the new album has gone in another direction, compared to Madison Violet’s past five folk albums. “We’re sort of experimenting, going in another direction, not taking ourselves too seriously and just having a lot of fun,” she said. “This one we are rewriting and rewriting every single hour, it seems like. We are just having fun with the song and seeing how far it can go in a certain direction and then pull it back and send it in a
whole different direction.” MacIsaac said they’ve been writing for this album for about two years. She said it’s been more difficult and different because both herself and MacEachern have both grown and changed since their first five albums were released. “We’re ever-evolving, especially during this recording process,” said MacEachern. “I think it’s easy to just write a song and let it slip out into the universe from the first time you saw it, going with your intuition. And that’s great and it’s worked for us in the past, I’ve always been proud of our songwriting, but I think this time there’s been a lot of changes in our personal lives in the last several years. We’ve experienced death; we’ve experienced new relationships, heartbreak. I think it’s just time to make something and just try and morph it into something else just to challenge ourselves.” Madison Violet is also known for their stage stories and opening up to the crowd, which is expected to
take place in Tamworth’s intimate concert setting. “A lot of people have told us that we should write a book because our stories are so crazy and intertwined and similar and our histories and our families,” said MacIsaac. Though writing a book
is not in Madison Violet’s plan the near future, MacIsaac did say she believes hey are recording and writing their history through their music. “We’re constantly writing our history and rewriting our future, I think,” she said. For more information
on Madison Violet, visit www.madisonviolet.com. Tickets for their Tamworth performance can be purchased at the Stone Mills Family Market, the River Bakery, the Tamworth Legion, bon eco Designs, and TCO Agromart, or by calling 613-379-2808.

ONTARIO SPCA LENNOX & ADDINGTON BRANCH APPEALS TO THE PUBLIC TO ASSIST WITH THE CARE OF A SERIOUSLY ILL BULL TERRIER
A three year old bull terrier with serious medical issues was recently surrendered to the Ontario SPCA Lennox & Addington Branch by a breeder along with nine other Bull Terriers. Due to failing health the breeder reached out to the Ontario SPCA to help care for the dogs.
“Gia” was very ill when she first arrived. She was suffering from a high temperature and infection, was in pain and very uncomfortable. Gia needed veterinary care to address these issues as well as a loss of hair on her face, ears and multiple other locations all over her body.
Caring for and providing medical attention for Gia and the other Bull Terriers has put a significant strain on the Branch’s resources. The Ontario SPCA Lennox & Addington Branch is now appealing to the public to help cover the cost. The Branch’s goal is to raise $2,000 to
assist with present bills and continual care for Gia and other animals like her. The public can help give Gia, and other dogs like her, a second chance by making a donation to the Ontario SPCA Lennox & Addington Branch today. To make a donation, please visit

Operation Warm Toes boots winter’s chill
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
After facing a drastic increase in need for services, Operation Warm Toes was successful in providing new winter boots to 330 children and youth and exceeded its initial monetary goal. Last fall, Trish Reid, Napanee Area Community Health Centre community development worker, turned to the community for help in providing boots to all those registered, which was about double than anticipated. Reid said $6,000 was required and the committee had only had about half those funds at that point. By the end of 2013, Reid said she was proud to say the committee exceeded its $6,000 goal by about $2,000. During a thank you celebration held by the Operation Warm Toes committee held last week, Reid thanked the community for ensuring 330 children and
youth had warm toes during this year’s bitter cold holiday season. “We all want to extend a thank you, we couldn’t have done it without you,� she said. “I didn’t think we were going to make the amount we needed, we needed $6,000, and we surpassed that. So we do have a little bit of revenue for next year. But we couldn’t have done it without the pull of the community and how much you guys gave to us and to the kids,� said Reid. She said the extra funds will go toward next year’s Operation Warm Toes project; however, she suspects it will be another high demand year, as more communities are being offered the program. So far, Reid has confirmed that Deseronto will be offered boots through Operation Warm Toes. “From the bottom of my heart, I’m genuinely so happy to live in this community and that you guys are all so giving. I appreci-

She admits she was worried the funds would not come in but was happy to see the surplus funds. Operation Warm Toes
began three years ago to help fill gaps in services after cut backs in the Ontario Works and Ontario Disability Support program of Winter Clothing allowance were made. “The new year brings a fresh start and new beginnings. I sensed at this gathering a renewed energy, hope and willingness to
No curling experience necessary for Hospice L&A’s Fun-Spiel Staff Reporter
Interest in the sport of curling is expected to hit a fever pitch next month as curious fans tune in to watch the Winter Olympics in Sochi. Traditionally, the international spotlight of the Games shine on curling generates a buzz seen only once every four years. Anyone looking to get a jump on the trend can register for Lennox and Addington Hospice’s annual Fun-Spiel, set for Feb. 8 at the Napanee and District Curling Club. While there may not be a gold medal at stake or even national pride, it’s a fun event that helps out an important local cause and lets anyone whose ever been curious about the sport a chance to give it a try. 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 introducing the sport to some first-time curlers as well. A quick crash course on the rules are given before the start of the funspiel with much of the learning done on the fly. Registration is $200 per team, which includes a full day of curling, lunch, dinner and prizes for all participants. There’s still space for teams to register by calling 613-354-0833 or e-mailing info@landahospice.ca, though space usually fills up fast. Each team needs four players. Typically around 20 teams enter with the maximum allotment of 24.

New strategy means new outlook for local woman
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
In order to help herself battle severe depression, Diane Ford first took to helping others. Using her knitting abilities, she teamed with the Napanee OPP to provide winter gear for their Clothes for Kids and RIDE program. “I work at it at night or when I get home from work,” Ford said of her knitting. “It takes my mind off things.” There were times during her 22-year-bout with depression that her interactions with the OPP weren’t quite so positive. More than once her depression led to heavy drinking. With nothing to keep her mind busy, she often wandered the streets not looking for trouble but usually finding it anyway. “Because I had run-ins with the police in the past, I kind of want to show them I’m not this nasty person that I sometimes portray to be,” said Ford. During those bouts of depression, she says, for the most part, OPP officers were understanding of her

Their understanding and offerings to help is what started her on the path to getting her life on track. “Some people will look at you like you’re crazy,” Ford said of her depression. “When (the officers) treated me like a person (it made a big difference).” After supporting the

Clothes for Kids program again this year she decided to continue knitting through the winter, creating toques for officers to hand out at their RIDE checks. Each toque comes attached with a positive hand written message that thanks the drivers for being responsible. “I thought winter,
thanks for using your head, so here’s a hat to keep it warm,” said Ford. “It’s a good feeling (knowing the hats are being worn by the public). Especially with the (RIDE check) ones because they’re a sign that person hasn’t been drinking when they went through the RIDE program.”
For the officers the donated gifts are a great way to build a positive interaction with drivers. Budget cuts have left them without many goodies to hand out to the safe drivers. “Something that I notice when I’m doing the RIDE checks, people really look forward to getting
something from us,” said Napanee OPP Constable Jackie Perry. Ford’s hoping her actions will inspire others battling inner demons to seek help and not try to hide. She says society has come a long way in the last two decades in terms of their views of mental illnesses, but there’s still work to be done. “I had one person tell me just to snap out of it, tell yourself you’re going to be fine in the morning,” recalls Ford. “It’s like, ‘Don’t you think if I could be doing that I would be doing that?’” Rather than ignore the issue she tackled it head on and is now making a positive impact in the community. Along the way she’s helping to tear down some of the misconceptions about the disease while paying back the officers who helped her to help herself. “To me it’s heart warming to see that Diane has taken all these steps to get herself help and take advantage of the help that’s available,” added Cst. Perry. “She didn’t refuse it.”
Amherst Island
Study recommends ferry improvements BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
It appears as though long-awaited improvements to the Amherst Island ferry could be closer to becoming a reality. On December 31, the Ministry of Transportation made available for public review a Transportation Environmental Study Report for proposed changes to the ferry and its docks at Millhaven and Stella; the public has until Feb. 4 to provide comments or questions.
Some of the recommended improvements include modifications that would allow front-end loading onto the ferry, as opposed to the current side-loading system. The changes will also include new terminal buildings and increased parking. Local MPP Randy Hillier — who says the issue has been unresolved for as long as he’s been the provincial representative in the area — said that “it’s not quite as far along as we’d like, but it’s a good step in the right direction.” He said that he’s been raising the issue with the provincial government
since 2007. “We never did get a lot of support or opposition to it, but it seems now there’s some paydirt at the end of it all,” Hillier said. “I’m really excited. I think it will be a real plus for the island and the area if they can get the drive-on, drive-off ferry (instead of) that side-loading system that they have now.” Hillier, however, suggested that island residents keep the pressure on. “Now it’s going to be important for people in the community to continue their advocacy and not have the project lost in the barrens of government,” he said.

Kettle Campaign slip attributed to icy weather BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Effects of last month’s ice storm were far reaching, even putting a small dent in the local Salvation Army kettle campaign. Donations totalled $29,432 this year, down a bit from previous campaigns. The slight dip was attributed to the icy weather around Dec. 21, when the campaign was suspended for the day. Despite the frigid weather the Salvation Army still boasted 57 steady volunteers throughout the campaign. This past Tuesday they showed their
appreciation by hosting a lunch and dinner for the volunteers in the church’s basement. Among those in attendance was JoAnne Wright, who has been volunteering for over 15 years. “I like meeting the people,” Wright says of her favourite part. “I enjoy standing there and talking to the people and meeting new people.” “One year I was at No Frills just inside the door and the wind was just freezing,” she recalled. “This guy puts money in the kettle and he came back 10 minutes later with a hot chocolate. Things like that are
just wonderful.” Though it can get chilly at times, Wright says she’ll definitely be back next year. “Some children might not have had a gift at Christmas time if it wasn’t for the volunteers,” added Wright. Though the kettle campaign is done for another year, this time of year is actually one of the more busier times for the Salvation Army’s Food Bank. Donations tend to taper following the holiday season. “In January we are in great need for donations because we end up having more people that are accessing the food bank due to the strain from Christmas,” said
Dana Henry, Community and Family Services Coordinator with the Salvation Army. “January is a big month for the food bank. There’s more than usual that access us and we get most of our funding during the Christmas season. By the middle of April and May you see us out canvassing for the food drive because we need to stock those shelves back up.” Henry’s hoping people will continue to think of the food bank throughout the year. Napanee’s food bank is located at 135 Mill St. W and is always accepting donations of non-perishable foods.

Residents of Lennox and Addington will have two chances to offer input on the county’s official plan next week, which is currently under development. Open houses are scheduled for next Tuesday and Wednesday, the first at the Tamworth Library and the second at the County Courthouse in Napanee, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. “This will be the first official plan Lennox and Addington County has ever had,” said Stephen Paul, Director of Community and Development Services for the county. He noted the provincial government mandated that the community submit a plan by March 2015. “It’s something brand new for us. The plan itself will be very over-arching and will talk to
more county-wide initiatives versus what happens at our municipalities.” During the meetings the public will be able to offer their thoughts on the proposed work plan, the role of the county’s plan in relation to local plans, the matters that shouldn’t be covered in the plan and the local economic development department’s goals. Among the intents of the official plan is to focus on what benefits L&A as a whole, support the economic development’s aspirations and implement provincial policies as appropriate, among other things. “(The open houses) are our first step in the development into the plan,” said Paul. “Our open house at this time in the process are all about us explaining what our overall work plan is going to be. Of course, we are looking for input from the public as we move forward with developing this plan and the open house pro-
vides us a great opportunity for it to take place.” Each session will include a 30 minute presentation which gets underway at about 7 p.m. on both nights. Both the planning consultant and representatives from the county will be on hand to answer questions one-on-one. “Our mindset with this is our lower-tier municipalities are doing a great job with their own plans with zoning and by-laws…that will remain their own plans,” said Paul, noting that the county’s plan will take great care not to duplicate those of the individual municipalities. “Our plan would be more overarching and supporting what’s already taking place in each of our municipalities.” The plan is expected to be completed no later than August of this year, at which point it will be submitted to the province for approval.
