Amy Baker was one of several Napanee District Secondary School teachers who participated in a demonstration in front of MPP Randy Hillier’s constituency office on the Market Square on Tuesday afternoon. Public teachers from both the elementary and secondary panels have been protesting the provincial government’s recent imposition of a new contract. Although the public teachers cannot strike, they have withdrawn participation in extracurricular activities.

Deseronto council reviewed a letter received by the Municipal Policing Bureau outlining policing costs for 2013.

Its contents prompted some frustration by at least one member of town council.

The letter, which was dated Dec. 19, 2012, and signed by R.A. Rick Philbin, Superintendent of the Municipal Policing Bureau, showed the town would be responsible for an estimated policing cost of $509,239 for 2013. From that, $494,274 is allotted for salaries and benefits.

“This is nuts. We need to get on board with another municipality that is fighting these policing costs and we really need to get active. It’s insane. We can see it here with an increase to our budget,” said Deseronto councillor Edgar Tumak, who introduced the topic to council during their latest regular meeting last Tuesday night. Tumak is also represents the cultural and social services committee for council.

“There’s nothing we can do, this is the cost. There’s no way we can argue it, there’s no way we can talk it down. This is what we’re expecting this year,” he said.

The letter shows the estimated policing costs for 2013 are partly based under the 2011-12 compensation framework agreements and 2012 formula.

According to the letter, “The 2013 uniform and civilian salaries are estimated based on the rates in the 2011-14 compensation framework agreement between the Ministry of Government Services and the Ontario Provincial Police Association.”

The estimates are based on direct costs, which is made up of salaries, wages and benefits; equipment costs, which includes vehicles, uniforms, supplies, radio equipment and computers; additional support personnel including communication operators and prison guards; administrative support, provincial responsibilities, traffic patrol and criminal investigations.

Tumak said council should support other municipalities who are fighting against rising policing costs.

“Us, in Deseronto, we were fighting this issue long before any other areas saw the issue that we were going through.

All I’m saying is, let’s support the people who are moving these agendas, as long as we believe in what they’re moving, because we won’t get the change that we need until we do that. Whatever support we can give, I say we do so,” said Tumak.

Council moves toward firearm bylaw New regulation would prohibit discharging of firearms near residences

By Ashley Foley BEAVER STAFF WRITER REATER Napanee council has passed first reading on a bylaw that would prohibit anyone from discharging a firearm within 300 feet, or 100 metres, of a residence.

The motion was not passed without debate, as some councillors said they felt the bylaw should be more specific, in that it should state which firearms should be prohibited, while others said they thought the public

G

should have an opportunity to voice their opinions on the issue.

The bylaw was initially proposed during an Oct. 9, 2012, council meeting, where Ward 3 Councillor Marg Isbester raised concerns regarding residents on Dundas Street West discharging firearms, specifically at ducks in the Napanee River.

Isbester and Ward 2 Councillor Shane Grant moved that council create a bylaw “regulating the discharging of firearms in the ‘water and sewer’ area.”

During their Jan. 8 meeting, many felt the proposed bylaw may not be the best resolution.

“I don’t have a problem with shotguns because when I hunted, I hunted with a shotgun, but highpowered rifles within 300 feet of a house scares the devil out of me,” said Deputy Mayor Roger Cole.

“I don’t know whether we’re putting the right restrictions on it, is what I’m saying.”

Mayor Gordon Schermerhorn agreed with Cole, especially in regards to the rifle and shotgun comparison.

He said, by his understanding, such a bylaw is hard to enforce. Still, he encouraged passage the bylaw, stating council would “have to start somewhere.”

Bill Pierson, councillor for Ward 4, said he felt farmers may be opposed to the bylaw and asked Ward 1 Councillor Michael Schenk’s opinion on the matter.

“Our farming population in this municipality are they going to be able to accept this well or will there be any problems we should anticipate?” asked Pierson.

Schenk, himself a farmer, said farmers should not be worried because they have a right to protect their land and livestock above what municipal bylaws may restrict. He said the real

issue lies within the municipality, specifically along the river.

“You won’t have any problems with the farm-

ers. They have the legal right to protect their property and protect their livestock. So if I have a coyote going after some of my cattle, I have the legal right to shoot it right then and there. It would disregard whatever bylaw there is or anything like that.”

Schenk said council has examined “the different avenues” in regard to the bylaw. “This is the easiest bylaw to enforce generally and still have the most amount of effect to eliminate the problem that we have,” he said.

However, Susan Beckel, Clerk and Bylaw Enforcement Officer, explained there could still be opportunities for people to discharge firearms

along the Napanee River while still within the restrictions of this bylaw.

“Where we’ve had the problem on Dundas Street (West), that means that people can still go down there if they are 100 metres, or 300 feet, which is possible, on that Town property on the Napanee River and still discharge firearms,” said Isbester.

Some councillors said they felt members of the public should have a chance to ask questions, raise concerns and share their opinions on the bylaw, even though it is not required in order to pass the bylaw.

“I thought we were going to have some sort of public consultation and I believe that a public consultation … (would provide) an opportunity for an opinion to come from some of the hunters,” said Isbester. “So I would support first reading and nothing else.”

The bylaw was presented to the Police Services Board during their Dec. 20, 2012, meeting. It was recommended that the bylaw come before council for consideration.

Schenk moved first reading on the bylaw, which was seconded by Pierson. It was passed unanimously by council.

Schermerhorn said the bylaw would be brought back for second and third reading after their budget meetings, the first of which is scheduled for Jan. 31.

Weather woes won’t stop Winter Chill Festival

By Ashley Foley BEAVER STAFF WRITER Though not many locals have been caught complaining about the recent warm weather and melting snow, the heat wave isn’t doing any favours for the organizers of the Winter Chill Festival.

That said, Lyndsay Tee, Winter Chill co-ordinator, said the festival is still going ahead as planned — snow or no snow. “There are quite a few activities that are still relevant even if there isn’t any snow. Snow is always ideal to make the festival that much more exciting and fun but there are lots of other things planned. So, we’re going to push forward and keep going with the date for this Saturday,” she said.

By the weekend, temperatures look to be below freezing, so Tee said free skating would go ahead as planned; however, snow activities may not. “The only thing that could really be affected is snow mountain and snow painting,” she said. “If we don’t get any fresh stuff, then there’s not a lot to work with.”

Aside from these winter activities, Winter Chill Festival will also include a craft table, horse-drawn wagon rides, face painting, live music, two buskers from Toronto and marshmallow roasting.

Tee encourages everyone to bring non-perishable food items to donate to the Salvation Army.

Winter Chill Festival is scheduled for this Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. at Market Square.

Council OKs support for safety improvements

By Ashley Foley BEAVER STAFF WRITER Greater Napanee council has agreed to support the Lennox Agricultural Society in its charitable foundation application to expand the demolition derby ring at the Napanee fair.

Krissy Martin, secretary-treasurer for the Lennox Agricultural Society, met with council for the second time for this request during its Jan. 8 regular meeting.

She presented a letter and initiated the request during their Dec. 18, 2012, regular meeting, which was accepted by council in a motion put forth by councillors Marg Isbester and Bill Pierson.

The letter, dated Dec. 1, presented Dec. 18 and accepted during the adoption of minutes on Jan. 8, reads: “The Society would like to apply for funding to resolve the safety and security problems that exist with our demolition derby ring. To do this, it will require installing proper walls to protect the spectators, drivers, and workers against the car crashes.”

The letter was signed by Martin, who stressed expanding the derby area would greatly increase safety. During the meeting, she told council the project is expected to cost around $10,000.

“In the past, the Lennox Agricultural Society had applied with a partnership to use your charitable registration number for creating a memorial walkway between the curling club and the community centre. We are hoping to do that same process this year,” Martin said in addressing council on Jan. 8.

“Derby is a huge part of the fair and the

33 Dairy Ave

ring is quite small in terms of the actual derby area to where the spectators are sitting. So we were hoping we can use the partnership again for your registration number.”

A motion to support the charitable partnership was put forth by Isbester and seconded by Pierson and accepted unanimously.

In other Greater Napanee council news: n Council moved to hand the town’s website redevelopment project to eSolutions Group, at a project cost of $73,195. The town received 12 submissions.

Funds were identified in the 2012 Information Technology capital budget, accounting for $36,000, which will pay for the first phase. This will include website development, web content accessibility guidelines 2.0 plus BrowseAloud, tourism module, e-newsletters, social media, public comments/suggestions and training.

Phase 2 of the project is estimated to cost $37,195 and will come from the 2013 capital budget. This will include Intranet, a mobile site, and a meeting and event calendar.

Construction of the website is to cost $67,695, with an annual hosting and support cost of $5,500 after the website is constructed.

The new website is built to meet all provincial and federal accessibility requirements and will aim to provide further information. It will also allow for ratepayers to pay bills online and access information regarding business and organizations in the community.

The Start date for website development is set for Feb. 1.

Work on the rail bridge over Dundas Street continued this week as CN crews performed maintenance on the facade of the iconic Napanee landmark. The road to Springside Park remains open while work is being done.

E D I TO R I A L

Big job for new premier In less than two weeks time, the Ontario Liberal Party will have a new leader, and the province will have a new premier.

Outgoing Premier Dalton McGuinty kicked off this race in October when he unexpectedly announced that he would be stepping down and making way for a new leader.

(He’ll continue to serve as the MPP for his constituency until the next election.)

Based on early voting conducted by the Liberals this past weekend, former MPP and McGuinty cabinet minister Sandra Pupatello and current MPP and (recently resigned) cabinet minister Kathleen Wynne are the clear frontrunners leading fellow competitors MPPs Eric Hoskins, Charles Sousa and Harinder Takhar and former MPP Gerard Kennedy. (Another MPP, Glen Murray, dropped out and threw his support behind Wynne).

At first blush, we’re somewhat surprised the field is this large. While ‘Premier of Ontario’ is a plum position indeed, the challenges the winning candidate will face are extremely daunting.

McGuinty leaves a party

that, while it enjoys a plurality of MPPs in the legislature, requires either Progressive Conservative and/or NDP support in order to get anything through. That position is manageable (see ‘Stephen Harper and federal Conservative Party, 20062011’), but it’s hardly secure (see ‘Paul Martin and federal Liberal Party, 2005-2006’).

Further, the new guy or girl will have the burden of baggage — and McGuinty has left plenty of baggage: a handful of scandals, a languishing economy, a record deficit and, most recently, a war with the province’s public school teachers.

The other weakness, of course, is simply the public’s desire for change. There’s an old saying in politics, ‘familiarity breeds contempt.’ Even with a new premier, there’s a good chance there will be plenty of contempt directed the Liberals’ way.

Are you guys sure you want this job?

Whoever does get the job will need a good work ethic and a great plan, because right now the party is heading in the wrong direction in just about every way imagi-

nable. Polls show that the party’s support has been faltering. The new leader will need to make the most of his or her opportunities when they take the helm — and how big those opportunities will be remains to be seen, given the fact that at any time, the PCs and NDP could decide that the government’s time is up and defeat it.

The Liberals, to their credit, have done a very good job of running from behind and winning — but when they’ve done it, they’ve had McGuinty at the helm. For the sake of the party, whoever takes over better have been taking notes on how he managed to pull off that particular trick. Those notes are very likely going to come in handy.

On Dec. 19, a local friend and I went through the drive-though at Country Style in Napanee. We were discussing how stressful this time of year could be trying to stretch already tight budgets to include the ‘extras’. The conversation was interrupted briefly while I ordered two medium coffees. I gave the server a $20, received the coffee and drove off. Neither my friend or I noticed I hadn’t waited for my change.

My next stops required my bank card and I had no occasion to check the bill section of my wallet. Even if I had, at that time of year money seems to simply evaporate with one small purchase after another, and chances are I might have never noticed the deficit.

On Dec. 21 — an ugly, wet, miserable day — I met a friend who had just come from Mississauga. We always meet at Country Style; the atmosphere there is most conducive for a long, quiet, undisturbed visit.

We had just approached the counter when a young man, obviously staff, said to me, “you forgot this the last time you were here,” and held out $17 plus some change. Standing beside him was the lady who’d taken my order on Dec. 19. He said, “she recognized you as soon as you came in.”

I was truly and pleasantly surprised, but my friend from Mississauga was absolutely astounded. She commented that she doubted very much such courtesy would have been extended where she lived.

Sometimes I think we forget that honesty is alive and well, and that it is nourished and thrives in small towns, but more importantly I think it thrives and is nourished when a business like Country Style really does care about each and every one of its customers.

The whole episode definitely put a positive glow to what can sometimes be a rather depressing time of year. So, thank you to the two staff members at Country Style — you really did help make the season bright.

Painting 101 Every year the major paint companies come out with the anticipated paint colours of the year and forecast the popular colours that will be seen in interior paints. Some companies showcase their paint lines before the year in here; others showcase their trends at the Interior Design Show in Toronto at the end of this month. Each paint company has a different take on the outlook of the trends of the year. I’m eagerly looking forward to attending the show and seeing what industry experts reveal as this year’s trends.

I’ll be sure to share with you in the next few weeks the design trends in interior styles, tips, and fashions after visiting the show.

First, I thought I would give you an overview of the basic vocabulary of colour.

Hue: identifies the general family of a colour, such as red, yellow, blue or green.

Colour Wheel: a traditional colour wheel is made up of twelve colour families: red, red-orange, orange, yellow-orange, yellow, yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue, blue-violet, violet, and redviolet. Colours on the opposite side of the wheel from each other are called complementary colours. In combination, these create striking contrasts. For less contrast, choose colours next to each other on the colour wheel, which are called analogous colours. Choosing colours of different tints within one colour family creates a monochromatic colour scheme.

Warm or Cool Colours: Cool colours are blue, green and violet — colours which invite relaxation and thought. Warm colours are red, orange and yellow — colours which encourage conversation and play. Different colours in the same family may be described as being “warm” or “cool”. Colours with yellow

undertones will seem warmer, while the same colour with blue or red undertones will appear cool.

Value: describes how light or dark a specific colour may be.

Most paint colour strips have the lighter values at the top, midtone values are in the middle and darker values are at the bottom.

When you combine colours from a single colour strip, you’re creating a monochromatic colour scheme — perfect for creating a sophisticated, spacious look in a single room.

You have all heard that light or pale colours can make a room feel larger. They create a sense of openness — an impression that the space is larger than it actually is.

This is one reason why whites are so often used on ceilings; they make the ceiling seem higher.

Bright whites can also create the illusion that adjacent colours are darker, so they may not always be the best choice for ceilings. Off-whites with a hint of cream, or whites tinted with just a touch of the wall colour, may bring more harmony to the room.

Many darker colours or colours that are deep in tone can make a room appear smaller, providing an illusion of intimacy or coziness. These kinds of powerful, more intense shades- sometimes called accent colours- create a visual perception that walls and ceilings are closer than they really are. They are ideal when accenting architectural features, such as framing a window. When a client has an impressive exterior view, framing the window with

a dramatic colour will ‘pull the eye’ and help make the view a focal point in the room.

As always, there are exceptions to every rule. When dramatic colours are used, contrasting colours can help give definition to a room, especially when contrasting shades outline molding, window trim or other architectural elements. White always works in this case, but offwhite or a contrasting neutral can work as well.

Besides light and dark, colours are also classified as being warm or cool c o l o u r s .

Blues, greens and grays found in nature are restful and calming. This makes them a p o p u l a r choice for you when you are trying to achieve a relaxing feel.

Cool shades, even the deepest ones, tend to make the wall recede, giving the sensation of more space. In addition these colours can make the room ‘feel’ cooler from a temperature standpoint.

Warm colours such as yellows, reds, and browns do just the opposite. They are considered cheerful, sunny colours, making them good picks for rooms when a pleasant, upbeat atmosphere is your goal. This is one reason many kitchens have been traditionally painted yellow. Though many yellows are indeed bright and cheerful, yel-

Design Time

low has a high light reflectance value — the reflection from painted surfaces that cause colours to act as a secondary light source. Consequently, bright yellows can sometimes be visually irritating — which I found out, while trying to paint my kitchen. With my white cabinets, and large south facing windows, the soft yellow although such a beautiful colour, did not work well as the morning sun infused in.

The type of artificial light in a room will affect the perception of the wall colour, and should be considered when making paint choices.

Incandescent lights cast warm yellow or amber tones that can intensify wall colours.

Standard fluorescent fixtures bring out cool tones and green casts. Warm fluorescents, while not as rich as incandescent sources, add warm casts.

Halogen lighting is bright and white and distorts colour less than any other artificial light source. It does, however tend to cool colours a bit.

Amidst the uncertainty and craziness of the fast paced, ever changing world we live in, finding a sense of solidity is fundamental to our wellbeing and colour in our homes and work spaces can influence our moods and help us find the much needed balance.

Be sure to keep reading as I let you know the new trends in interior paint colours after my visit to the Toronto Interior Design Show at the end of the month.

Wintering warblers and persistent pipit The icy spume and wind off Lake Ontario pelted our car as we tried to survey the waterfowl on Lake Ontario, during a census that would take us from the Trent River to Point Petre. A small flock of juncos and a single tree sparrow fought to stay upright as they scoured the grassy knoll at the end of North Beach Road that had become bare of snow by the relentless winds off the lake.

I was the first to notice a bird that didn’t look quite right as it catapulted in the wind past the car and disappeared over the edge of the embankment to the shoreline below. The odd flight pattern must have been attributable to the wind. Within a few seconds, the bird returned to the opposite side of the car where my birding partner for the day had a fleeting glimpse and suggested a pipit. It disappeared, along with the juncos and tree sparrow, and all vanished in the direction of North Beach. I suggested we wait as feeding birds have a circuit they follow, and this one could be back. Fifteen minutes later, the roving group returned and the pipit obligingly foraged in the grass ahead of us.

American Pipits are terrestrial birds, common enough in the spring and fall as they migrate through our area, but rarely seen after early December. Only two January sight records in the Quinte and Kingston areas

seemed to exist for this breeding bird of the Hudson Bay Lowlands. Immediately we wondered what would have caused this bird to remain into January, during a winter that so far had not been very kind.

However, it appearance was no less surprising than a few others that have turned up so far this winter. In Oakville, five species of insectivorous warblers have appeared. Only a few warbler species can switch diets to accommodate the winter’s lack of insects. That’s why we seldom see them here in winter – they need to migrate south to find food.

They have been doing this for a very long time. One of those that can adapt, of course, is the yellow-rumped warbler (still the myrtle warbler to most of us).

Often it will remain into November, switching from a diet of summer insects to one that includes lingering spiders in the fall. If a few questionably decide to not bother migrating at all, they can take this process one step further and swing over to a diet of berries — primarily red cedar berries around these parts. And they seem to do quite well which might explain why there are no concerns with overall continental populations of yellow-rumped warblers.

Others, like the fall plumaged orange-crowned warbler that created a mild furor at a Wellington feeder late last month just don’t

Terry Sprague

Outdoor Rambles get it. Out of desperation, this warbler resorted to seed fragments and suet. Not a very nutritious meal for an insect eating bird, but indigestion is likely a better option than interment.

Rarely, though, do they survive for long on such boring fare, and seldom survive for more than a few days. This one was around for only two days. We can only speculate that it succumbed to colder temperatures More remarkable was a yellow-throated warbler at a Brighton feeder. It’s bright yellow throat was in sharp contrast to the pinks of house finches and redpolls and greys of chickadees that also were present. Its appearance was remarkable in that it is a species that doesn’t

even belong here, even as a migrant. It is southern in distribution, and this one migrated north, not south. It is not the first time one has appeared in the Quinte area either. There was one east of Brighton a few winters ago, and another at Trenton before that, in 1987. Even Kingston has had a number of worrisome late November records.

So, what goes on in the psyche of birds that fail to migrate, or head north when they should be heading south. No, despite dire warnings from the soothsayers, it has nothing to do with the presence of bird feeders as these individuals decided on their aberrant behaviour long before winter set in. They often end up at feeders out of desperation in their search for food.

The mysteries of migration are still poorly understood. We have learned a lot over the years about inherited knowledge, magnetic fields, landmarks, photope-

riod and just pure instinct - all those things that make birds do what they do, and have been doing for centuries. Is it simply because the finely tuned habits that have been programmed into birds become short circuited occasionally? Many seem to discount the theory that winds or prolonged storm fronts have much to do with it, although they may to a point.

Maybe birds are “just human”. They make mistakes and more times than not, pay for it with their lives. And is that such a bad thing in the final scheme of things? If the bird is out of the running then it won’t pass those inferior genes to its children thereby keeping the migratory instinct strong.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 65 Years Ago January 21, 1948 n A family drinking party devolved into a “real donnybrook,” resulting in one brother having half his ear chewed off and another being sentenced to three months in jail.

The entire family appeared in court.

According to the Beaver report, “From the evidence produced in court it was difficult to ascertain the cause of the fight, but the results were quite evident.”

Besides the missing ear, another family member displayed a large cut to the back of his head, while others showed various cuts and bruises. n A standout Napanee goalie was going to have to sit out more than few games after being hit in the face with a hockey puck.

Herb Hayes was between the pipes for Belleville against Peterborough in Omemee when the injury took place. The Peterborough player came in on net and blasted it from close in. Hayes didn’t see the puck in time.

Hayes needed several stitches to close the wound, and his nose was badly crushed by the puck. He was taken to Kingston General Hospital to have the bones in his nose reset.

The team said it would be “some time” before Hayes could return to action.

25 Years Ago January 20, 1988 n The Town of Napanee’s building department reported a bumper year for building permits in 1987.

The municipality saw about $7.5 million in construction take place — which was more than double the amount that took place in 1986.

Napanee Mayor Harold Webster praised the work of Chief Building Official Keith Richmond in facilitating the boost in local building. n The Lennox and Addington County Board of Education voted to bring the salaries of its superintendents in line with school boards around the province.

As a result, the boards two superintendents would see their pay raised by 5.5 per cent; with the increase, the superintendents would receive about 10 per cent more than the highest paid principal.

Not all trustees agreed with the increase, however. Trustee Ken Campbell warned that the steady rise in salaries was unsustainable.

“It just keeps building. I’m really concerned with that,” he said.

Business is booming again in downtown Conway Hamlet’s historic general store gets new lease on life

By Ashley Foley BEAVER STAFF WRITER With the Old Conway General Store under new ownership, there is a vision to rebuild it to promote tourism and ‘shopping local’.

Lisa Elliott-Laflamme and her husband Robert Laflamme bought the store in September after it had closed its doors. On Dec. 3, they reopened the store and have plans to renovate it this summer to make it their own. “I guess every owner has kind of tried something new and different, like the grill and the pizza and the videos. Everybody tries to reinvent it a little bit,” said Elliott-Laflamme.

The store, which first opened in 1851, has had several owners and has served many purposes. In its early years, the store was located about 100 metres off the Bay of Quinte shoreline.

“It was right on the water because the boats would come in and get things,” said Jack Hamilton, who has lived in Conway since the 1970s and is known locally as the ‘Mayor of Conway.’

After the store burned down and was rebuilt, it was moved to its current location on Highway 33.

“They moved it up here,

in one piece, with horses,” said Hamilton.

Since the Laflamme’s reopened the store, they have installed an on-the-go coffee station, renovated inside and have plans for expansions in the future.

“We feel that because we’re going to end up being part of the (store’s) history, it is really important to not only maintain what was here but also bring in services people are really in need of today,” she said.

Gas and fuel is on the top of her list, along with bistro tables for the coffee area.

On top of that, she is considering a small lunch menu in the back of the store, which has recently been used as an apartment.

She said there has also been community interest in her offering lottery tick-

ets and movie rentals, since Internet connection is unreliable and expensive when downloading in the area.

“I think the key thing about this store is that all the other corner stores have closed down and the park stores have also closed their stores,” she said. “The campground down here doesn’t have much and with the population exploding in the summer, there is a real need for the store.”

Her hope is to increase tourism and be a welcoming place for passersby to stop.

“We do definitely want to be more than just the little corner store with the lottery and the milk and bread,” she said.

“It’s a fantastic stopping place in the summer for cyclists. It’s just far

enough out of Kingston and Adolphustown Park,” said Hamilton.

Elliott-Laflamme has a vision to offer a farmer’s market in the summer, highlighting local artists and farmers. “We want to tailor ourselves in the summer for the campers so we’ll have a broader tourist base so we’re going to bring in some local artists’ items so they have a chance to showcase things,” she said.

Elliott-Laflamme has been in touch with a woman interested in selling moccasins and dreamcatchers as well as a chocolatiere.

Elliott-Laflamme said she has been interested in running the Conway General Store for over a decade.

“We actually looked at the place about 10 years ago when it was for so when it came up again we decided to look into it. One thing led to another and we decided it definitely would be a good investment,” she said.

Elliott-Laflamme said they see a long future with the store and feel they have a responsibility to the community through it.

“This is definitely an investment for the community and for us. We can see it as something we will have for 10 to 20 years and even into our retirement.”

Odessa Winter Carnival promises week full of events

By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER STAFF WRITER Sunday marks the start of a week long of frosty fun in Loyalist Township, as the annual Odessa Winter Carnival returns for another year.

Winter-themed events will be held through out the township, giving residents of all ages an avenue to beat the cold weather blues.

“We try to get people out and active,” said Megan Smith, Recreation Program Co-ordinator with Loyalist Township, which organizes the event. “It gives them a chance to get outside their house.”

It all gets started with Sunday afternoon’s Winter Fun in Wilton, featuring outdoor games and free hot chocolate at the J. Earl Burt Memorial Ball Park at 1 p.m. At 4 p.m. the fun moves indoors to the Wilton Hall for Spaghetti Fest. Adults are $10, $8 for seniors and $5 for kids

under 12.

On Tuesday the W.J. Henderson Arena in Amherstview will host loonie skate sessions from 12-1 p.m. and 3-4 p.m. On the other side of the facility swimmers can enjoy a Polar Dip Loonie Swim (in an indoor pool) from 7-8 p.m. Kids can also take part in a free craft event at the arena from 6-8 p.m.

On Wednesday the carnival shifts to the Odessa Fairgrounds for the annual Christmas Tree bonfire and Outdoor Skating Party. Skaters are encouraged to bring their own hockey stick for a little outdoor shinny as well. The skate gets underway at 6:30 p.m. and is sponsored by the Odessa Firefighters Association, Loyalist Recreation and Roads Department. As the name suggests, this past season’s Christmas trees will be piled together and burned to provide warmth throughout the night. Nonperishable food donations will be accepted as well to

support those in need.

All the events are a lead up to Saturday, when the carnival closes out in style in Odessa with a pancake breakfast at The Palace, beef supper at Emmanuel United Church on Factory Street and a dance at The Palace, featuring Texas Tuxedo. Doors open at 8 p.m. and the band takes the stage at 9 p.m. Tickets for the dance are $15 a person, which includes dinner and a bus ride home for locals.

They’re being sold now at Savage’s Hardware and Pop-In. The pancake breakfast is $5 for adults and $3 for kids while the beef supper is $12.50 for adults, $6 for anyone under 17 and free to kids under five years of age.

Also on Saturday is the Blah Buster in Bath, which is a new event added to this year’s schedule. Running from 1-4 p.m. in Centennial Park, the day will

Warning light could signal Drive Clean fail New pollution control measure relies on vehicles’ own computer diagnostic systems

By Ashley Foley BEAVER STAFF WRITER As of Jan. 1, those receiving an emissions test on their vehicle are required to meet new standards due to updated Drive Clean test requirements.

The new test deals with the car diagnostics system.

It reads a car’s computer history to ensure the vehicle meets regulations; the test is also meant to be more accurate and efficient.

According to Drive Clean, this will also result in 20 per cent more effectiveness in reducing pollutants.

Jamie Bridge, of Lynja Injection Services Ltd. in Napanee, said the changes have caused some frustration both by those conducting the tests and those whose vehicles are receiving them. “There are some idiosyncrasies that are technical and hard to explain, and that’s the real issue we’re having. The test on the validity on it is more comprehensive than before. In the technical speak, for the public and a lot of people within the industry, they just don’t understand why the car would fail. It’s a little bit frustrating,” said Bridge.

“Basically, it’s a situa-

tion where if that (diagnostic) light is on, they won’t let you renew your license plate without jumping through some hoops. It’s just been hard to explain that.”

Add that to the fact that both his staff and Drive Clean operators are still in a learning curve, and it’s enough to frustrate anyone. “I’m learning and my staff is learning and Drive Clean is learning.

(For example), we had one particular car that because of the temperature outside was going to be hard to resolve and it was just a new thing and no one really knew what to do.”

Bridge said the new testing system is quite complex.

“What we’re testing is the system that’s built into the car that tests itself,” he said, putting it plainly.

Since 1998 it has been law in North America that vehicles must be made with an onboard diagnostic system. Bridge said at the time this was implemented to ensure vehicles’ efficiency could be tested more easily.

“Since that’s never been enforced here, there’s a lot of people that are driving their cars around that have the warning light on for the onboard

Ashley Foley - Staff

James Gallagher, a mechanic working at Lynja Injection Services Ltd., tests a car with new emissions testing equipment, which now ensures a vehicle’s self diagnostic system is running efficiently. diagnostics system and it doesn’t affect the way the car performs day to day so they just never felt it was necessary to expend the resources to have that repaired,” said Bridge.

“A lot of guys have said, ‘Oh, that’s OK those lights are always on,’ and a lot of times, because of the sophistication of the problems with the cars, a lot of

shops haven’t been capable of repairing them.

“So, now we have cars coming in that have had the light on for eight or 10 years and have a list of problems because the first one happened and it was never repaired and then a two years later something else happened and the customer didn’t notice anything because the light is

still showing the same warning system.”

There is also a program in place for those in this situation, who might face hundreds of dollars in repairs, explained Bridge.

A limit of $450 per test is put in place and then a vehicle will receive a “conditional pass.”

This means the vehicle will undergo $450 in

repairs and be able to continue driving until the next test, even though not all of the repairs have been completed.

Since the new testing system came into effect on Jan. 1, Bridge said he has had some customers who have failed their e-test who would have passed before the change. However, most of those customers were able to fix the problem and pass another test.

“It’s just all the hoops and they’re frustrated because there’s always a financial side to the story and that’s the most frustrating thing.”

Vehicles that have been recently repaired or had the battery disconnected could experience problems with the vehicle’s built-in computer, according to Drive Clean. This could result in a test failure and delay in receiving a license plate sticker.

“A day or two of normal highway and city driving will usually reset your vehicle’s computer and ensure it’s ready for the Drive Clean test,” Drive Clean advertises on their website.

Vehicles with a model year between 1988 and 1997 require a different etest and fall under different regulations, which can be found on the Drive Clean website.

By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER STAFF WRITER Andrew Martin, local singer and avid hockey fan, will bring his jazzy-pop stylings to the Strathcona Paper Centre on Jan. 26 to support the Napanee Raiders’ purchase of new jerseys.

Dubbed ‘An Evening with the Raiders’, the night will give fans a chance to mingle with players, take part in a silent auction and hear Martin perform everything from Elvis to Rod Stewart.

“It’s such a broad range of style,” said Martin. “The style that’s sort of been placed on me is called popera (a mix of pop and opera), which is the same as Josh Groban and Michael Bublé.”

Raider fans would recognize Martin as the voice behind ‘Oh Canada’, which he performs before most of the team’s home games.

“Doing the anthems at the games are a lot of fun,” said Martin. “I thoroughly enjoy it because I love the town atmosphere you get at the games, it’s a cross section of young people and old. My concerts are very much of that vein. I run from younger people to older people as well… I always say I like to take them on a memory trip with songs that they’ll remember from their teenage years through to maybe the first dance they had at their wedding.”

Though he’s now become the

Raiders’ in-house anthem singer for the past three seasons, it was never a gig he actively sought out. Instead, it kind of snowballed from a simple comment he made to Kim Vandenburg, mother of former Raider star goalie Zak Vandenburg.

“It was in the playoffs, and she didn’t know that I sang for a living,” recalled Martin, who was watching the game in the stands. “(Napanee was) trailing by, I think, two goals. I said if the Raiders come back and win, I’ll sing the anthem at the next game.”

Sure enough Napanee rallied and Vandenburg made sure to hold him to his offer. He called the team the next day to ask if he could sing the anthem and they obliged.

“I walked in (onto the ice) and Kim’s eyes were huge, I remember that,” said Martin. “I sang the anthem and I went back up and sat beside her and she said ‘You cheated.

You do this for a living, don’t you?’”

To say Martin is a professional is a bit of an understatement. Along with touring across Canada, he’s also had a hand in putting together ‘Return to Grace’, an Elvis tribute show that shattered attendance and revenue records at Niagara Falls’ Fallsview Casino. He’s booked for 24 more shows there this September.

This past November he released an album titled Amour, which contains covers of love songs that were suggested by his fan base. Now available on iTunes and to be sold during

the event, much of what he sings at An Evening with the Raiders will come from that album. He says it’s the perfect time of year, as Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.

Tickets are $70 for a couple or $40 per person, which includes a roast beef buffet catered by Spud’s Restaurant. All proceeds will support the local Junior C team.

“It’s our 25th year next year so we’ve been talking about tying in more of the history of the franchise,” Raiders General Manager Adam Bramburger said of a possible newlook jersey. “That’s still being determined.”

Whether the new sweaters will feature a new colour scheme or design remains to be seen. Their current home jerseys feature black shoulders and a white torso with the word ‘Raiders’ scrawled across the front with leering eyes. The wrist and knees are made of red and grey trim.

Their away jersey are black with the word ‘Raiders’ spelled across the front diagonally. They’ve sported that look for about seven years now, and regardless if the design is updated, the jerseys themselves are getting worn out.

Any new jersey would be announced during the team’s year end banquet in February or March.

Tickets for An Evening with the Raiders are available at home games or by calling 613-354-7566. The doors open at 6 p.m.

Nick Adams and Taes Leavitt, better known to children as ‘Splash ‘N Boots’, have established themselves as one of Canada’s top kids performers over the past decade.

Splash ‘N Boots take Southview stage Feb. 3

By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER STAFF WRITER Lauded as the ‘U2 of children’s entertainment’, renowned Canadian duo Splash ‘N Boots will bring their catchy brand of music to Southview Public School on Feb. 3.

Formed by the husband-and-wife team of Nick Adams and Taes Leavitt while attending Queen’s University in 2004, they quickly became one of the top children’s performers in the country. They have five CDs and two full-length DVDs to their name and were recently awarded Children’s Music Group of the Year. Their music video featuring the song ‘For the Love of Dance’ has been seen on Treehouse TV, helping them become recognized faces to toddlers around the country.

The concert will mark the second event to be hosted by the Napanee Music Club, which made its debut

last Oct. 27 with a performance by the Georgette Fry Trio. “Our first concert was extremely successful,� said Stephen Paul, who has teamed with MyFM to host the Splash ‘N Boots concert. “We’re excited about being able to have a children’s concert. Our ultimate goal is to be able to present live Canadian music here in Napanee. We want to do that in all different venues in all different styles of music.�

Tickets for the event are $12.50 each and are available by visiting www.napaneemusicclub.co m. The show begins at 1 p.m. “It’s a great venue with a wonderful stage,� Paul said of Southview Public School, which is located at 18 Golf Course Lane in Napanee. “We’re excited about being able to put on the first concert at that school and its a real good tie to what Splash ‘N Boots is all about because the

(students that attend the school) are that age group.�

The school was officially opened this past September.

Paul says the Napanee Music Club is hoping to host four to five live concerts a year, filling the public’s desire for cultural events in town. The children’s concert is a near polar opposite of their first event, which was a recreation of a jazz-inspired supper club event with dinner and cocktails. Their third planned event will take the wheel in yet another direction, featuring the Abrams Brothers on March 2. The Kingston-based band is a combination of bluegrass, folk and country genres with story telling lyrics.

For that event the club will use the site of their first event, the newly-renovated Dog House Studios located on 99 Dairy Ave. “We’re excited about the possibilities of who we can bring into the community,� added Paul.

Your real estate team: Working with a Realtor, lawyer and home inspector T H E

Thursday, January 17, 2013

After weeks, months or even years spent searching for the perfect home, deciding that a home is “the one” seems like it should be the most stressful part of the buying process.

But according to Ron Abraham, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association, it’s getting that dream home signed, sealed and delivered that can be the most overwhelming part of the process for home buyers.

“Many home buyers are surprised to discover that finding their dream home is just the beginning when it comes to completing the buying process.

The amount of due diligence that comes next can come as a big (and costly) surprise if homebuyers aren’t prepared.”

“The right Realtor will help guide home buyers through the nuts and bolts of the offer and really simplify the transaction process,” says Abraham. “Your Realtor will be able to provide all the resources you need to make a smart, informed buying decision – this includes supplying in-depth local market information and helping assemble your real estate team.”

Your Realtor will: • Help you narrow down your home search, explore your options and only show you homes that fit your criteria • Help make sense of the financials by explaining various financing alternatives and providing up-todate information on interest rates and mortgage options • Act as a mediator to head off potential conflicts between you and the seller, draw up a legally binding contract and assist you with all the details required to complete the transaction successfully • Let you know where (and when) a lawyer should come in on the deal

Your home inspector will: • Inform you of the scope and limitations of the home inspection (Do your research and make sure that you find a qualified home inspector who will work for you) • Complete a home inspection on the condition of the roof, foundation, structure, drainage, plumbing, doors, electrical, and heating and cooling systems of the home

Your lawyer will: • In Ontario, a lawyer is needed to register any transfer of land and two separate lawyers will usually represent the buyer and seller • Your Realtor can help you find a real estate lawyer who will provide you with assurance of title (by way of his/her opinion or title insurance) • Once a deal has been signed, your estate lawyer will review and prepare all the paperwork to register the transaction “Do your research before selecting a Realtor,” advises Abraham. “Your Realtor will quarterback your entire real estate team so it’s critical that your Realtor understands your needs. A great way to meet Realtors is by visiting open houses but you should also talk to friends, family and business associates for recommendations. You’ll be working closely with your Realtor so make sure that they are someone you are comfortable around and can communicate openly with.”

OUNTRY/FOLK trio Belle Starr will be performing in Tamworth later this month as part of the first performance in the 2013 Tamworth/Erinsville Community Development Committee concert series.

The group is made up of diverse Canadian, female artists who all share a passion for fiddling.

“Kendel (Carson), Miranda (Mulholland) and myself (Stephanie Cadman) all play fiddle and sing and I’m also a stepand tapdancer so there’s also a bit of that in the show too, which is pretty fun and entertaining,” said Cadman.

The three grew up fiddling different styles so each brings a different aspect to the group. Cadman said there would be some of each performer’s fiddling in the show, Jan. 26.

covers; however, each artist has performed individually prior to joining Belle Starr.

Cadman, from Ottawa, has performed with symphonies all over North America and was named one of Canada’s top violinists after her production in ‘Bowfire’.

She is also an accomplished dancer, including tap, Celtic step dance, ballet and jazz. At 16, she was the top female performer at the World Tap Dance Championships in Germany.

Carson, who grew up in Victoria, began playing violin when she was three and took a liking to classical music. At the age of 12, she was a regular soloist in the Victoria Symphony.

More recently, she’s had appearances at the American Music Association Awards.

Mulholland, from Guelph, is a classically trained violinist and vocal-

ist performer. She has fiddled with Jim Cuddy, among many other accomplished artists.

“A lot of the time when we perform as a trio we don’t have a drummer with us and I have such a strong dance background that I get to do the percussions with my feet for a few of the numbers,” said Cadman.

As for what songs to expect from Belle Starr, Cadman said they have “a wide range of material” to choose from.

“When we were working on our full album we all brought songs that inspired us and we wanted to record covers to start to figure out what our sound was going to be. So we have some pop, country, and of course Celtic with the three fiddles.”

The concert will take place at the Tamworth Legion on Jan. 26 at 8 p.m.

Admission is $20 per person.

Raiders ousted from playoff race Pair of losses to Rebels coupled with Jets win erases all hope

By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER SPORTS

Seth DuChene-Staff

Don Currier concentrates on making a shot during the Napanee District Curling Club’s Senior Men’s Bonspiel on Saturday. For more, see page 30.

Mathematics is an unforgiving entity, caring nothing about the effort a hockey team puts forth, only the final outcome.

Such was the case for the Napanee Raiders, who despite putting forth two solid efforts against the Campbellford Rebels, lost both and were officially eliminated from playoff contention.

Both games came down to the wire, with the Rebels pulling out a 2-1 overtime win at home on Saturday before edging Napanee 4-2 at the SPC on Tuesday.

The clubs were tied 2-2 heading into the third in Tuesday’s showdown before the Rebels’ Steve Clarke potted two powerplay goals, completing a hat-trick.

“We got into penalty trouble,” said Raiders head coach Scott Slack, referencing the Rebels three powerplay goals. “There were a few soft penalties that put us in a bad spot and their power-play buried. It’s one of those unfortunate things in hockey where things don’t go your way.”

Chris Doyle gave Napanee an early lead with a power-play goal just shy of the five minute mark of the

Clarke erased it at the 8:45 mark with his first of the night.

Ryan Crowley and Adam Shulist traded goals for Campbellford and Napanee respectively in the second, but that was it for scoring on the home side. Andre Frappier and Doyle assisted Shulist’s effort.

Mike Brogee took the loss, turning away 34 shots. On Saturday Brogee was just as good, stopping 36 shots before finally

buckling at the 3:50 mark of overtime.

Donny Emmons scored Napanee’s only goal just seconds into the middle period with help from Knapp-Hermer.

Tyler Daveys knotted it at 1-1 with a power-play tally at the 8:51 mark of the second, where it stayed until Jeremy Doherty won it for the Rebels.

With the losses, Napanee’s record of 9-21-2, good for 20 points, coupled with the fact they have just eight games left, puts them out of reach of Amher-

stview, which has 39 points. They will now officially miss the playoffs for the first time in 24 years.

“Obviously it’s been a disappointing season for everybody,” said Slack.

“The organization, the players, the fans, you name it. It wasn’t the expectation, but it’s a rebuilding year from top to bottom.”

Napanee will head to Picton tonight for a 7:30 p.m. puck drop. On Saturday they head to Amherstview before hosting the Panthers on Tuesday. Both games start at 7:30 p.m.

Growing pains continue as Storm reach 30 losses Offense sputters against Jets

By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER STAFF WRITER ate goals spoiled two otherwise gritty efforts by the Deseronto Storm this week as they lost 6-3 to Campbellford at home before getting blanked 2-0 in Amherstview on Sunday.

Despite failing to generate any offense against the Jets, Deseronto hung tough right up until the 18:05 mark of the third.

That’s when Amherstview’s Brett Yake finally managed to solve Storm goalie Ben Elliot, beating him on the Jets’ 66th shot of the game.

Sam Paxton iced the win for Amherstview with

L

an empty-netter as the Storm yanked Elliot in a last ditch effort to at least send the game into overtime. Had they done so it would have marked the first time all season the Storm had played a fourth period.

Both teams accumulated eight minutes worth of penalties and were left empty-handed on three power-plays apiece.

With the loss Elliot falls to 1-4 in his brief time with the club. The goose egg was Troy Paquette’s first of the year, moving his record to 8-3-0-1 on the year with a 3.31 GAA. The game marked former Napanee Raider and Centreville resident Taylor Brown’s second game with the Jets, having joined the team at the trade deadline.

He spent the majority of this season with the Junior A Kingston Voyageurs, getting into 22 games.

He suited up for 31

Defensive players like Chris Rogalsky shined bright for the Storm in a tough 2-0 loss on Sunday. games with the Raiders last year, scoring 13 goals with 13 assists in his rookie Junior C campaign.

In Friday’s home game against the Rebels it was a similar story for the Storm, surrendering two goals in

the third period to watch a potential victory slip away.

Deseronto had clawed back from a 3-0 deficit in the first to trail just 4-3 with 17 minutes left to play in the final frame. Their momentum ran out from there as Jeremy Doherty and Andrew Revell each scored a goal just two minutes apart at the 12 and 14 minute mark, squashing any comeback attempt.

Jordan Cannons, Alex McConnell and Brandon Turner had reeled off three unanswered goals for the Storm to make it interesting. Brandon Torres, Jared Boomhower and Corey Price each picked up an assist.

Amos Lloyd took the loss in his Storm debut, squaring off against the team that traded him. In seven games with the Rebels he was 2-3-0-1 with a 4.16 GAA. He wasn’t seeing much playing time due to Cole Mahoney’s break

out season. He's posted a record of 16-6-0-1 with a 2.77 GAA, which is third best in the Empire B league.

Both games meant very little to the now 3-30 Storm, but were very meaningful for their opponents. With the wins the Rebels and Jets officially secured a spot in the playoffs and are currently in a dog fight for seeding.

The fourth place Jets are now 19-12-0-1 on the year with 39 points. The Rebels are 20-12-1 with 41 points while the Panthers are 20-9-2 with 42. Picton’s 25-4-0-2 has them in first.

Deseronto will welcome the juggernaut Picton Pirates to town tomorrow night, hosting them for an 8:30 p.m. puck drop at the Deseronto Community Rec Centre.

On Sunday they hit the road and travel to Campbellford to take on the Rebels.

finals. Quite the ending for a team that was packing their bags to go home after round robin play.

“I thought we were out of the tournament,” Stone Mills' head coach Dennis Miller said, after his team went 2-1 in the round robin. “There were three teams that were higher than us with the exact same record. My wife and I were calling people at 9 p.m. to let them know that we were out on Saturday.

Then I got a call at 11:30 p.m. saying that we were in.”

As it turned out, along with the five teams who finished first in their division, only second place teams were eligible for one of three wild card playoff slots. Though there were teams in other divisions who had better tie breaking stats, they finished third in their division. That gave Stone Mills a new life.

“As the tournament got going I could see the girls were really starting to buy into it,” said Miller. “They wanted to win and they were pretty pumped up and trying so hard.”

Stone Mills opened the tournament on Jan. 4 with a thrilling come-frombehind win, scoring three goals in the final three minutes to down Smith Falls 5-3.

In their next game, played at 7 a.m., the girls coughed up a late 2-1 lead to fall 4-2 to Gloucester.

They rebounded with a 4-1 win over Kingston to close out the first round.

Once they learned they had life when they thought their weekend was over, they made it count. They blanked Nepean 4-0 and Ottawa 7-0 en route to the championship.

MEMORIAMS

FENWICK, Ron

In loving memory of a dear brother who passed away three years ago, January 13, 2010.

Beyond my smiles there lies a tear, For a brother I lost and love 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 loved 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.

It broke my heart to lose you, You did not go alone, For part of me went with you, The day God called you home.

For those of you who have brothers, Treat him with care, You will never know the emptiness, As when you turn and he is not there.

Sadly missed but never forgotten.

Love always, brother Jim, Shirely and Families.

LONEY - In loving memory of a dear mother and grandmother, Vivian, who passed away on January 22, 2011.

A million times we’ve needed you, A million times we’ve cried, If love could have saved you, You never would have died, Things we feel most deeply, Are the hardest things to say, Our dearest mother we loved you In a very special way, If we could have one lifetime wish, One dream that could come true, We’d pray to God with all our hearts For one more day with you.

We love and miss you every day.

Daryl, Lana, Neil, Tammy, Clark, Amber and grandchildren.

McGONEGAL - Margaret Ann (Margie), March 8, 1966 to January 17, 2009.

Well it’s been 4 years now, A lot has changed, Some things never will, The way your love and memories Shine in my heart like diamonds And always will.

Missing you.

Love Chris MOON - In loving memory of our very dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Doris, who passed away January 14, 2004.

We who love you, sadly miss you, As it dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of you are ever near.

Loved and sadly missed by sons Jack and Don and their families.

OLIVER - In loving memory of our sister, Mildred, who passed away January 22, 2012.

If roses grow in Heaven, Lord, Please pick some ‘special ones’ for us, Place them in Mildred’s arms And tell her they’re from us, Remind her, we love and miss her And when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek And hold her for awhile, For remembering her is easy, We do it every day, but There is an ache within our hearts That will never go away.

Loved forever, Marion, Maysil, Louise and Lois.

PENNELL - In loving memory of a dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Helen, who passed away January 22, 2012.

Sleep on, dear mother, take your rest, They miss you most who loved you best, Friends may be friends, if they be true, But I lost my best friend when I lost you.

Sadly missed by Glenn and Jean, Dean and Shari, Angelica and Reba, Amy, Mike and Mischa.

My Forever Love In loving memory of my husband, CECIL STACEY who left us January 21, 2010.

3 years have passed since I lost you and the pain is still hard to bear, I have to go through life knowing you’re not there, No one can explain to me why you had to go, But I have to believe God has special plans for you, I sit here and remember all the lovely times we shared, The talks, the laughter of everyone you cared, I am told the pain will ease in time and maybe even think of you without a tear, But every day I wish you were here, You were my very world to me, my ever guiding star, Just kiss me softly on the cheek and let me know you are near and never far.

SLAVEN - In loving memory of our husband, dad and grandpa, David, who passed away January 18, 2007.

It doesn’t need a special day To bring you to our mind, For the days without a thought of you Are very hard to find, We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, But in our hearts you’re always there Remembered every day.

Bette Jean, Rhonda, Harry, Sydney, Craig, Dawn-Marie, Zachary and Carter.

You are bound to have all of the details perfect.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Someone could require a pep talk this week, and you are the person for the job, Sagittarius. Figure out ways to downplay any struggles and point out all that this person has accomplished.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) You may find a turnaround in your financial situation has finally arrived, Capricorn. Just don’t spend all of that newfound money in one place. Put some into an account for later.

GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) You may need to reconsider your purchasing power, Gemini.

Your finances may not be what they seem at this moment, and you could need to play things conservatively.

CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, there are a few obstacles you will have to overcome before you can move on to something more enjoyable this week. Make the hard work a priority and the rest will follow.

LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Maintain the status quo this week, Leo. You may be tempted to do things differently, but going with the flow and not rocking the boat is the best approach this week.

VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Flexibility will be the key this week, Virgo. If you are able to bend, then you will be much more successful than if you are rigid in your opinions and actions.

Local rink wins senior ‘Spiel Robert Paul claims victory

By Sandy Eastlake ON THE BUTTON Saturday’s Senior Men’s Bonspiel was a huge success thanks to Walter Genereux and his committee of Hugh Sharpe, Ken Healy and Cor Vandenberg.

Robert Paul, Bill Hogg, Robert Hough and Kees VanGent topped the event.

Paul thanked all the ladies (and gentleman) for delicious food all day long.

Starting with goodies by Shirley Bush, lunch followed by Captain Marilyn Cole and helpers Sandi McNamee, June Hicks, Lorraine Wilson, Helen Brown, Liz Griffiths and ending with supper by Captain Ingaborg Donald with helpers Liz Goldie, Hugh Goldie, Sue Weir, Debbie Currier, Anjo VanVark, Bonnie McTaggart, Alberta Goodie, and roast bakers Doreen Brummel, Ellyn McEwen, Jane Hough, Sharon VanGent.

Rumour has it Hugh Goldie had a lot of trouble with ‘dish pan hands after peeling 40 pounds of potatoes.

Frank Dunham with Don Currier, Phil Berry, Kirk Donald as the second place winner thanked the bar staff of Don Currier,

Tom Ayling, Steve Eastlake, Jim Head and Ken Healy.

A total of 16 teams curled their best to be declared the winner of the trophy, eight from Napanee and eight from area clubs.

This bonspiel is very popular and Genereux always has a waiting list. He started his speech by thanking Briar Fox for their sponsorship of four rounds of golf and Quinn’s Meats for allowing the kitchen volunteers to serve up prime rib for supper.

Last weekend four of our juniors competed in the OCA Bantam Boy competition but lost out in the semis on Sunday. the word was that they all had a great time so congratulations to Keegan Scott, Caleb Posterski, Denis Holden and Joey Botting.

Our ladies rink of Louise VanHeighten, Jane Pearson, Cynthis Woodcock and Lana Latimer curled in the OCA Intermediate Women’s zone in Tweed and are moving on to the Regionals in Ottawa later this month. Good luck and good curling.

This weekend the club is hosting the Senior Men’s and Womens OCA Regionals so come out and see some great curling. Napanee has a club team on the women’s side so good curling to Sheryl French, Gayle Johnson, Kelly Roantree, Cathy Palmer.

Darrell Scott, Sheryl

French, Bob St John and Deb Kowalik recorded an eight ended, earning their way in NDCC history. They will receive recognition from the OCA with pins to mark the occasion. Napanee’s club only has about a dozen of these plaques since the club’s start in 1957.

Next up on the NDCC’s Bonspiel calendar is a Mixed Bonspiel Jan. 25-27.

The club is again hosting the popular Sweetheart Dinner thanks to convenor Jim Kennelly, along with VanGent plus assisting is Lia Dufour, McNamee, Sandy Kennelly and Shelley Alkenbrack on Thursday, Feb. 14 at 6 p.m.

Designed to celebrate the women of the club and friends, it is a chance to relax and enjoy an evening out courtesy of the thoughtfulness of the men from the Club, plus the Thursday Night Men’s League who has offered their night to us. A delicious three-course meal featuring prime rib as the entree as well as entertainment promises to deliver a great way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Only 64 tickets will be sold to members first.

Teacher-to-be off to Cambodia to volunteer Napanee’s Megan McFarland in midst of fundraising for once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

By Ashley Foley BEAVER STAFF WRITER young woman from Napanee, who is studying to become a teacher, will be volunteering in a classroom in Cambodia this summer as part of the Reach Out Volunteer program.

From June 16 to July 16, Megan McFarland, 18, will teach in Cambodia five days a week with her own lesson plans. She is currently in her first-year of a concurrent education program at Brock University, in St. Catharines, but plans to begin gaining experience right away.

“Ever since I was a little kid I’ve wanted to be a teacher. When I looked at the teaching route, I got

A

into something called the Interact Club. It’s an international program to help people who are less fortunate and it includes food drives, sponsoring a child.

When I got into that it opened my eyes so much and I knew I wanted to go overseas to not only teach but help out in any way I can,” she said.

She began preparing for her trip this past September and has a number of fundraisers planned this winter and spring.

“I am trying to fundraise, which is very hard because I’m in school full time but I have some things here at school I try to do and when I’m at home I try to hold events. It’s slowly coming together,” said McFarland.

Her goal is to raise

Hospice L&A brings back annual Funspiel No experience, no problem for fundraising tourney

By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER STAFF WRITER Curlers of all skill and experience levels can toss some rocks for a good cause at Hospice Lennox and Addington’s eighth annual funspiel, Feb. 9 at the Napanee District Curling Club.

For $180 per team, curlers get a pair of six-end games, all in a relaxed and non-competitive atmosphere. Winning is by no means the major focus of the fun-filled event. Good times and helping out a local charity is what it's all about.

“It has a reputation of being a really good funspiel,” said Peggy Sunstrum, Executive Director at L&A Hospice. “It’s not very serious and there’s a lot of fun. Friends play in it. You don’t have to be a curler. There’s no expectations that you’re going to win big money or anything.

Everybody goes home with a prize. It’s good food, good companionship and just a good time.”

Money from the event goes towards funding Hospice’s bereavement support groups. As a non-profit organization, Hospice provides palliative care to those dealing with a terminal illness. They also have trained volunteers on hand

who help family members deal with the loss of their loved ones. All of their services are free to members of their community and all of their costs are covered through fundraising.

Last year’s funspiel had 22 entries and over the years it has become a favourite to avid curlers and rookies alike. For those who have never thrown a stone in their life, it’s a great opportunity to see what the sport is all about.

A quick crash course on the rules is all that’s needed before first timers are ready to roll and learn on the fly.

The first draw will take place at 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Second draw is 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. The final draw is 11 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. There’s room for 24 teams and spaces are filling up fast.

The entry fee includes catered lunch and dinner

by Spud’s Griddle in Napanee.

“The emphasis is definitely on fun,” said Sunstrum. “We usually have a really good time.”

Skips can start registering their teams by calling 613-354-0833 or by emailing info@landahospice.ca. They’re located at 91-B Dundas Street E., right across the street from the Gibbard’s building.

DARTS… Thursday night darts starting up again at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 623 in Millhaven on County Rd. 4. Every Thursday beginning at 7 p.m. For information call 613-352-7772.

$3,000, but said the trip will cost her $5,000.

“This April I have an appointment with Canadian Tire for a car wash, which I believe is going to be the in the first week of May in Napanee, so I hope to have a lot of people come out and support me that way,” she said. During the month of May she will also host a bowl-a-thon in Belleville.

But her fundraising efforts also extend to St. Catharines.

On Jan. 21, she will be accepting donations at Brock University. McFarland will bring these items to kids in Cambodia.

“It’s not for myself but for the kids. Anything like crayons, pencils, shoes, underwear, clothing, so I’m hoping to get a lot of dona-

tions that way as well,” she said.

McFarland said she chose Cambodia because she is able to be more hands-on in her teaching and planning.

“This program in Cambodia offered me to teach the kids, whereas the other ones you build a school and

kind of interact with the kids but this program, I’m 100 per cent interacting with the kids everyday,” she said.

“I’m in their classroom, I’m teaching them, I get to develop my own lesson plan with the locals and that was my main goal, was to be able to interact

with the kids,” McFarland said.

McFarland will teach Monday to Friday, along with other Con-Ed students from Canada, and will have weekends off to help build schools, interact with kids and locals, or just have free time exploring Cambodia.

Meeting set to discuss at-large voting change

By Seth DuChene EDITOR Stone Mills council will hold one more public meeting before proceeding with — or dropping — a plan to eliminate the ward-based voting system in favour of an atlarge voting system in time for the next municipal election in 2014.

At its regular meeting on Jan. 7, council passed a resolu-

tion to hold a public meeting at the township hall in Centreville on Feb. 19 to gather input on whether to change or to keep the current voting system. The meeting will take place at 6 p.m. in the council chambers.

According to township staff, council will not be voting on the matter at the meeting, but will consider it at a future meeting — possibly as soon as the next regular session on March 4.

Under the current electoral

system, only the reeve is elected at-large. All other council positions are elected from among the township’s three wards, each based on Stone Mills’ predecessor municipalities: Newburgh (Ward 1), Sheffield (Ward 2) and Camden East (Ward 3).

The deputy-reeve — who is also the township’s second representative at Lennox and Addington County council — is selected from among six councillors by the councillors themselves in the

first council meeting following the election.

Under the new system, all council positions would be elected at-large, meaning that all residents in the municipality could vote for all six council positions.

The continuation of the ward system has been debated by Stone Mills council since the municipalities first came together with amalgamation in 1998. In fact, in 2000, former Reeve Jim

GREATER NAPANEE

Macdonald urged that the ward system be abandoned and all elections take place at-large.

In the most recent municipal election, Stone Mills held a referendum to poll residents on whether or not to retain the ward system; although the overall results failed to meet the ‘50 per cent of electors’ threshold that would have made the referendum binding, a slim majority of voters chose to support a new at-large voting system.

ADOPT A NEW BEST FRIEND

At its regular meeting on Jan. 8, Greater Napanee council moved to approve the appointment of Welch LLP as the Town’s auditors for a five-year term for the fiscal years 2012-2016.

Welch LLP has been the auditor for the Town of Greater Napanee since amalgamation in 1998.

Audit fees for 2013 are expected to be $4,400 below the town’s 2012 audit fee budget, which should result in increased efficiency and effectiveness.

Moving forward, the town’s goal is to achieve a two- to five-per-cent sav-

ings in their annual audit fees.

In other Greater Napanee council news: n Council moved third reading to bylaw 2013-01 to set an interim tax levy for 2013, which was immediately effective.

It states interim tax bills will be levied and based on 50 per cent of the total taxes paid by each property owner for municipal, county and schools.

The bill shall be due in two equal installments dated Feb. 22 and April 26.

Taxes in default will be charged interest on the first day of default and the first day of each month thereafter. Interest will be added at a rate of 15 per cent per annum (1.25 per month).

n Under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, the town is required to “establish, implement, maintain and document a multi-year accessibility plan.” The plan should highlight existing barriers for individuals with disabilities and help to prevent further barriers.

Some current and ongoing goals are to account for needs of persons with disabilities in emergency plans, ongoing maintenance and improvements to town buildings and properties to accommodate disabled persons, and for winter maintenance on parking spaces, ramps, and slopes to become a priority for accessible needs, among others.

Plan priorities for 201317 have been determined by the municipality and take into account human resources, training, administration, facility management, emergency services, and information, which all show ways in which the town plans to increase their services for those with disabilities.

Some local projects include: North Fredericksburgh Hall – improvements to the front entrance in order to permit better access.

Selby Community Hall – installation of a larger bar area, a lower countertop, as well as accessible parking and signage.

South Fredericksburgh Library – accessible parking spaces near the ramp.

Strathcona Paper Centre – an elevator equipped with audible floor indicators and buttons with raised lettering and Braille; lowering of the reception counter to provide access to persons with limited mobility.

Train station – accessible parking and signage has been posted as well as a low-mounted tilt mirror in the washroom.

Addictions Cen tre/Interval House – improvements to the side entrance for staff, including a ramp, steps, railing and automatic doors.

Proposed Aquatic Centre – include accessibility considerations in design phases.

Parks – public washrooms renovated to address accessibility mobility and accessible picnic tables to be implemented. n Joint accessibility advisory committee appointments: The Town of Greater Napanee confirmed Brian Shenton and Peter Veltheer as reappointments to the County of Lennox and Addington Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee for a two-year term, beginning January, 2013.

Shenton has been reappointed as a community representative for disabilities and Veltheer for involvement with business.

A year’s worth of good karma at local studio Weekly sessions have raised $1,500 for charity

Adam Prudhomme - Staff

Caroline Claude and Serge Doucet of Studio Yoga Yoga have raised $1,500 through their weekly charity Karma Classes over the past year.

Studio Yoga Yoga celebrated one year of business and good karma this week.

The Napanee-based studio has been offering weekly Karma Classes on Fridays since it opened last January, trading yoga sessions for charitable donations by their members. “We’re very happy,� said Serge Doucet, who runs the studio with his wife Caroline Claude. “With the Friday Karma Classes and the Yoga Aid World Challenge, we managed to raise $1,500 with all the participation. We’re pleased with that.�

Each month a new charity is selected based on suggestions by their clients. Proceeds from their 5:30 p.m. classes on

The plant whisperer “We’ve forgotten what is needed to make basic communication work.” Laura Reynolds Everyone has heard of the ‘horse whisperer’, a story about a man named Tom Booker who could communicate with horses on an extraordinary level: almost paranormal.

Daniel Chamovitz is the plant whisperer.

Mr. Chamovitz is the director of the Manna Centre for Plant Biosciences at Tel Aviv University where he has been studying plant behaviour for many years.

An accumulation of his considerable knowledge on the subject of how plants communicate is found in his

recently published book, What a Plant Knows: A field guide to the senses.

It makes for fascinating reading for anyone that has spent any time around plants. Which would be most of us.

In the first four chapters Chamovitz breaks the book down into the four senses, as humans understand them: sight, smell, what a plant feels, and what it hears. He concludes with ‘how a plant knows where it is’, ‘what a plant remembers’ and finally ‘the aware plant’. All of it is revealing in the extreme. Here is my summary of the content: The idea that plants communicate is not a new one. According to the

author, Charles Darwin performed many experiments on plants in an effort to understand them better. As far back as the 1850s Darwin was busy asking questions and experimenting with plants in an effort to understand them. He was good at it: Mr.Chamovitz and, by extension, you and I are the beneficiaries of Darwin’s work and that of many scientists after him.

What a plant sees While plants do not have eyes as we think of them, they do possess the ability to sense light. The question is ‘how?’ and ‘why?’

Through a process called phototropism, a seedling ‘sees’ light through the tip of its young growth. When light hits the tip of the shoot it bends in that direction.

This explains why you need to turn your amaryllis bulb every couple of days away from natural light in order to keep it growing straight.

Many plants flower in response to light. More accurately, they flower in response to short days. A poinsettia produces vividly coloured bracts on its upper leaves in response to short days, thus providing us with a flowering plant around Christmas time, which is only four days after the shortest day of the year. The same can be said for Christmas cactus and, for that matter, Easter cactus, the latter reacting to short days more slowly.

It is interesting to note

that an apple tree is similarly conditioned by short days to flower in April. But why doesn’t it also flower in September when we experience equally short days?

The answer is that the apple tree, much like other spring flowering plants also requires a period of cold in order to trigger blossoms. A plant can be fooled into thinking that September is a good time to bloom, especially after a cool or wet August, which explains why magnolias are frequently found in flower in early fall.

Mark Cullen Green File

What a plant smells I rubbed my fingers on the leaves of a mint plant and held them out to my nephew, “Here, smell my finger!” I exclaimed. He recoiled as if he had heard this before. Poor kid, no sense of humour. Maybe no sense of smell.

Plants do not have noses but they do have the ability to sense an odour given off by plants nearby.

If you put an apple in a brown paper bag with an under ripe avocado, the avocado will ripen very quickly.

Experiments undertaken in the 1930s by Richard Gane in Cambridge point to the answer: ethylene. This is the universal plant hormone responsible for fruit ripening. An apple gives off this gas around its immediate vicinity, which is sensed by neighbouring fruit as a signal to get on with the business of ripening.

Trees are now known to communicate with one another through scent, especially when danger is present. David Rhoades and Gordon Orians, scien-

tists from the University of Washington, noticed that caterpillars were less likely to forage on leaves from willow trees if these trees neighboured other willows already infested with tent caterpillars. The healthy trees neighbouring the infested trees were resistant to the caterpillars as the leaves of the resistant trees contained phenolic and tannic chemicals that made them unpalatable to the insects.

Rhoades proposed that the attacked trees must be sending an airborne ‘alarm’, a pheromone message, to the healthy trees. The suggestion is that the neighbouring plant must be practicing a form of olfactory eavesdropping on an internal signal actually intended for other leaves on the same plant.

Can we talk?

Chamovitz asks the earth shattering question, “When a plant releases a smell in the air, is it a form of talking or is it just passing gas?” This and other pressing questions are not necessarily answered in the book, but they do get you thinking.

In this chapter on smell, the theory is advanced that plants can not only send scented messages to one another but also that different plant parts communicate with other plant parts on the same plant. A tomato plant, for instance, will know when you walk past it as you brush up against its foliage. Once the leaves have been so informed they emit a smell that is picked up by foliage on other parts of the same plant. Natural defences are sent up to the opposite side of the tomato plant as a result.

Beetles that eat leaves on a plant produce the same results. Sometimes

the flowers on the same plant, while not directly affected by the biting insect, will produce a type of nectar that attracts beetle-eating arthropods. I can hear the bugle call of the arriving cavalry now!

To a degree this book offers up evidence that plants communicate based on ancient knowledge of them. As long as there has been a perfume or ‘fragrance’ industry, we have played with plants’ ability to produce specific scents.

For the most part, it is the human response to plant scent that interests Oscar de la Renta or whoever.

Chamovitz is interested in how the same scents that affect people also affect plants. He uses a technique called ‘mass spectrometry’, a process often featured on the TV show CSI and employed by perfume companies when developing new fragrances.

A plant is much smarter than we generally give it credit for. Scientific experiments have proven that when attacked by a disease a lima bean plant emits methyl salicylate and when eaten by bugs the same plant produces a gas called methyl jasmonate. Why two different responses?

Because a unique response is required to heal the plant depending on what precisely is attacking it.

Next week, more proof that your plants are more than just a pretty face: how they feel, hear, and what a plant remembers. Fascinating stuff, thus an article in two parts.
