Napanee dodges worst of ice storm Fire chief reminds residents to be prepared BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

When an ice storm hit Ontario in mid December, Napanee, for the most part, did not suffer many damages. However, the storm did leave 400,000 Ontarians without power, some of whom were located in Greater Napanee. The Dec. 21, 2013, ice storm left about a 30 mm blanket of ice that ranged from the Thousand Islands to the Durham Region, bringing down trees and power lines with it. Many people in Greater Napanee were without power for two days and power continued to flicker throughout the holidays, while Hydro One crews worked to restore power and hydro poles damaged by the ice. Greater Napanee Fire Chief Terry Gervais said emergency services helped to run a warming up centre in Napanee for those without power. “As the emergency manager, we also monitored the number of people who were without power. In fact, we opened our warming center up for the weekend, which is at the Strathcona Paper Centre,” said Gervais. “The majority of the power outages were most of North Shore Road and down in the Dorland and Adolphustown (areas). The majority of power was returned by Sunday (Dec. 22) evening; however, some residents did not get power back on until Monday evening.” Gervais said infrastructure services “worked extremely hard” to keep roads open; however, ice built up fast and it was hard to keep all roads safe for travelling. “With the amount of ice it was hard for them to keep the roads clear. They deserve a lot of credit for their hard work,” he said.

Camden Arthur (above) was one of many skaters who took to the Strathcona Paper Centre’s ice on Friday in support of Nolan Gunter, a member of the Napanee Stars minor hockey team who was recently diagnosed with Leukemia. Both ice pads were available as the town of Greater Napanee donated two hours of skate time and opened the event to the public. Donations, proceeds from the canteen and money raised from a silent auction all went to the Gunter family.

Looking back on 2013 Recapping the top stories of last year

Beaver Files

Editor’s note: As 2014 is ushered in, here’s a month by month recap of some of the biggest stories of 2013. January 2013 Classes resumed after the holiday break with the cloud of Bill 115 still looming large. Ontario Minister of Education Laurel Broten followed through on an earlier promise, using the powers of the bill to impose contracts for all school boards and unions unable to reach an agreement by Dec. 31, 2012.

The imposed contracts didn’t solve much in terms of the unrest among the teachers’ unions and they vowed to continue to withhold extracurricular activities and protest through other methods. Both public elementary and secondary schools were unable to reach a settlement before the deadline. “That’s not the outcome we wanted to see,” said Mike Lumb, president of the Limestone branch of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario. “This government has imposed a contract on us that we had absolutely no

say in, whereas other unions had a say.” The work action continued with a demonstration in front of MPP Randy Hillier’s constituency office in Napanee’s Market square on Jan. 15. n A rise in policing costs prompted frustration from Deseronto’s council members. The town was faced with an estimated $509, 239 in total policing costs for 2013. “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,” said councillor Edgar Tumak. n Unfortunate history was made by the town’s Junior C hockey team when the Napanee Raiders failed to make the Empire B Junior C playoffs for the first time since they came into existence 24 years earlier. A 42 loss to the Campbellford Rebels on Jan. 15 officially eliminated the team from the playoff chase with eight regular season games remaining. n Lennox and Addington County awarded the tender for its pending museum and archives redevelopment to Peak Engineering. The successful bid was $3.8 million. The redevelopment project was expected to be completed in 2014, in time for the county’s 150-year anniversary. n Weighing in on the ongoing indoor pool project, MP Scott Reid and MPP Randy Hillier said Greater Napanee was unlikely to receive any funding without a detailed business plan and a provincial or federal program in place.

Broken tree branches and a couple of downed power lines was the brunt of the damage Napanee saw in the wake of the recent ice storm.

ICE STORM | Emergency services kept busy CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 Gervais said Greater Napanee Fire Services received six calls over the weekend of Dec. 21, all relating to vehicle accidents. Napanee OPP Traffic Management Officer Constable Jeremy Doolan said the OPP attended even more accidents and said it is important that motorists drive with care and clean off their vehicles before driving. “(We) heard nearly a

dozen incidents of vehicles having their windshields smashed up by the ice coming off of other passenger and commercial vehicles,” said Doolan. He said most of these incidents occurred on the 401. Doolan said drivers that deposit snow on roadways or onto other vehicles can be fined $110. “(The OPP is) reminding people that anything that comes off their vehicles and causes damage, is their responsibility,” said Doolan.

Gervais said it is also important that every house be equipped with a threeday storm kit to ensure people are not left without food, blankets and water in the case of a power outage. “We would like to remind everyone to be prepared for at least 72 hours with a 72 hour kit. If the weather is bad, stay at home so the plows can do their work. Remember: they have a lot of roads to plow so be patient with them. They work hard at keep our roads safe.”

JANUARY | Liberal leadership candidates, Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey team visits among last winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highlights CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 The town tried unsuccessfully to secure a $1 million Ontario Infrastructure Grant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have a bit of homework to do for fundraising strategies and looking at other grant opportunities,â&#x20AC;? said David Morgan, general manager of infrastructure services for the town of Greater Napanee. n Napanee Area Community Health Centre opened the doors of a drop-in centre for young adults, known then as the Napanee Youth Space, later re-named the Napanee Chill Zone. Located at 17 Market Sq., the centre was aimed at teens and young adults aged 14 to 24 to gave them a place to shoot pool, search for jobs or just talk with NACHC's youth engagement workers. The project got its start courtesy a $30,000 grant from the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration. n TransCanada unveiled its plans to construct a new generating station on the shores of Lake Ontario to Greater Napanee town council. The new plant is expected to create 25 longterm jobs and contribute $1 million in annual municipal tax. Originally slated to be constructed in Oakville, that project was killed in the midst of the 2011 provincial election â&#x20AC;&#x201D; only to be later relocated to Napanee. Construction is expected to start later this year or early 2015 on the 95-acre site, located just east of the Lennox Generating Station. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on track to become fully operational in 2018. n A pair of local men were sentenced to a couple of months of jail time after a Napanee court found them guilty of drowning a pet dog. Both teens, aged 19, were found guilty on Nov. 15 but sentencing was delayed until early 2013 pending a psychological examination. Animal rights activists staged protests throughout the trial, calling for a stiff penalty for the accused. An online petition garnered 8,000 signatures calling for a harsh punishment.

naut, he was one of nine candidates vying for the leadership role. Eventual winner Justin Trudeau stopped by a few days later, choosing the local Dennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant as his campaign landing spot. n Lennox and Addingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dark Sky Viewing Area was named as 2012â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Economic Developers Council of Ontario's top Tourism Infrastructure. The dark sky area, located near the Sheffield Conservation Area north of Erinsville is a place for star gazers to view stars and planets uninhibited by light pollution. It was developed with input from local astronomer Terence Dickinson. n Greater Napanee council looked to put the brakes on a Little Creek Road solar farm. The proposed project was for a 10-kilowatt farm. It was given the green light prior to a new provincial law that prohibited solar farms on prime agricultural land. Concerned neighbours protested the project and council voted to request a stay of development. n After recording a franchise low 10 wins and missing the playoffs for the first time, the Napanee Raiders announced Mike Hartwick would assume coaching duties for the 2013-14 season. Scott Slack, who served as interim coach, stayed on as assistant coach. Randy Holmes would also sign on as an assistant. n Marlbank-area landmark Philoxia was sold to Sophia Yan, who said she would develop the site into a resort and spa. Yan expressed hope for opening the new venture in March of 2014. March 2013 MPP Randy Hillier sided with protestors against the 33-38 Industrial Wind Turbines proposed for Amherst Island. Health, property values and environmental impacts were some of the residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; greatest concerns during a protest in Bath. n After a ski accident that left former competitive

skier Scott Finlay with a brain injury, Finlay joined some of his teammates on the slopes at the Batawa Ski Hill after 35 years. Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Hugh, has been working for 13 years to open a Acquired Brain Injury and Rehabilitation Home in Napanee, which would house about 12 residents full-time, providing around the clock care. - The Town of Deseronto put 14 of its lands up for sale and waived all development fees on the lands to encourage local development. About 70 per cent of the lands were located within the land claim area. - Downtown business owners of Pie in the Sky were forced to close their doors due to structural issues relating to their building that the municipality said could pose a threat. A fence was erected around the business and sidewalk outside of Pie in the Sky, forcing the owners to lock the doors. Owners said they feared bankruptcy as a result of closing their businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doors. n A Greater Napanee firefighter was sent to hospital for treatment of minor injuries after a storage barn went up in smoke on Woodcock Street, causing over $100,000 in damages. n The Town of Deseronto decided to move forward with a waterfront development and marina expansion and plan to seek ministerial approval for an environmental assessment. The municipality planned to also seek governmental funds for the project. n Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey team was in Napanee for five days in late March to train at the Strathcona Paper Centre. The team, also known as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big Red Machine,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; ran drills in the SPC to prepare for the Ice Hockey Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Championship in Ottawa in April. n About 30 NDSS students were on a class trip and had the good fortune of being a stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throw from the Vatican as the white smoke was released and a new Pope was named. n Surplus beds from Lennox and Addington Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes were sent to India to provide assistance and com-

There were 17 hospital beds sent by the John M. Parrott Centre in late March. April 2013 Lennox and Addington County council passed a $66 million budget, which increased property taxes by 3.3 per cent ($686,000) from 2012. Out of that tax increase, $421,000 was

dedicated to additional funding for capital improvements to local roads and bridges. n Greater Napanee emergency services cracked down on those parking in fire routes in the municipality. The department increased awareness, signage and considered implementing more fines to prevent people from parking in no-parking and fire

route areas. n Greater Napanee and the Town of Deseronto both entered to compete in the Ultimate Fishing Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest, for a chance to win $25,000. Neither won, but Deseronto won a small financial consolation prize for the second year in a row, which was put toward park and waterfront restoration.

n Greater Napanee mayor Gord Schermerhorn responded to MP Scott Reid and MPP Randy Hillier who had suggested in January that the town didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an adequate pool plan. He spoke at L&A County council to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;set the record straightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; after the politicians stated the town wouldn't receive funding without a plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spent close to $70,000 hiring consultants to coincide with the splash pad,â&#x20AC;? said the mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were ready for the tendering process.

Opinion send letters to beaver@bellnet.ca

EDITORIAL January is traditionally a time to reflect back on the lessons learned of the previous 12 months and plan for the new year that’s right around the corner. That's why this week's edition of the Napanee Beaver dips into the 2013 archives, highlighting the biggest stories of the year that was. Looking back though past editions we're reminded of the highs and the lows. By and large, 2013 will be remembered as a positive one for Napanee. While it may not have made national headlines or hosted any major events, there was plenty to beam about. The opening of a new splash pad, the quick thinking of the Greater Napanee Fire Services members that helped deliver baby Nathan safe and soundly, the 10th annual Multicultural Festival, countless volunteers pitching in to help tidy on Earth Day and the expansion of the Big Bright Lights were just some of the town's top shining moments. All in all, we like to think the good outweighed the bad in 2013. Looking ahead to 2014, this year figures to be a busy one in the county. Between Lennox and Addington's 150th anniversary of incorporation, the completion of a multi-million dollar face-lift on the museum and archives and a municipal election, there will be plenty to anticipate in the months ahead. Who knows, we may even finally see a resolution to the ongoing pool issue. Here's hoping more good news rather than bad news will grace this paper's pages in the coming year. And while we're on the topic looking back and toasting, yesterday marked the 144th anniversary of the first publication of the Napanee Beaver. That’s kind of a neat accomplishment considering the Beaver only three years younger than Canada itself. In a time when printed publications across North America have struggled, great support from this community has been constant for several generations. In the spirit of toasting, here's to another 144 years.

The View From Castle Rock Genealogy is a popular pastime that involves tracing family lineages and discovering one’s ancestral history. It is an interest shared by many Canadians, including Nobel Award winning author Alice Munro. In her 2006 novel of short stories The View From Castle Rock, Munro writes about the fascinating, tumultuous lives of her ancestors. Developed through years of thorough research, Munro (nee Laidlaw) tells several stories, beginning with the Laidlaw family in the hills of 18th century Scotland. With vibrant prose, Munro

details the family’s life in Scotland, their eventual voyage to Canada, and the difficulties they faced living as pioneers in the new country. The book traces through the generations, culminating with Munro’s first-person stories set during her own lifetime. Living in the County of Lennox & Addington, we are lucky to have many genealogical resources at our disposal. The County Museum and Archives provides users access to Lennox & Addington census records, published and unpublished genealogies, genealogical refer-

Catherine Coles Coles’ Notes ence works, micrographic sources, card indices and family files. The Museum & Archives is currently closed for renovations and is set to open in August 2014. In the meanwhile, Archives public computers and a microfilm reader are being housed at the library’s Napanee Branch. If you are interested in some of the resources the museum (and the County Libraries) have

to offer budding genealogists, join us for the first installment of our monthly Speaker Series. Shelley Respondek, Archivist at the County Museum & Archives, will speak about online tools for tracing your family history, including Ancestry.com which you can use from free at any library branch. Shelley’s talks will be held Amherstview on January 6 at 3-4 PM and Napanee on January 8 @ 3-4 PM. The View From Castle Rock is available at the County of Lennox & Addington Public Libraries.

Goodwill towards others isn't just one day of the year This past boxing day my wife and I decided not to join the crazed shopping crowd for sales at our favorite stores. Instead we had our family over for dinner. Everyone was committed to prior dinners on Christmas so we thought this would be the perfect time to get everyone together. The dinner went off without a hitch and my son and I had just finished packing up my parents’ car for their drive home. Unfortunately my father had veered slightly off

our driveway and had become stuck. The ice storm that we all

Letter to the Editor experienced just a few days ago made the driveway very slippery. My son and I were in the process of digging out my parents when a man and his son came by in their truck and asked if they could help. The man hooked up my parents car and the truck pulled the car out and back on track. I thanked

the man and his son and at that time I found out that they were our neighbors from down the road. It was such a nice gesture and it's good to know that acts of kindness come every day of the year not just Christmas. To my neighbor with the white picket fence, I didn't (forgot) your name, but thank you very much. It's nice to know that we have some pretty good people living on Sharpe Road. Happy new year.

The Napanee Beaver welcomes letters to the editor. Letters should be no more than 300 words, and all letters must be signed.

Why is By-law Officer not enforcing snow removal laws? Dear Sir, I enjoy walking for my health. Every winter I find some of the sidewalks in the town of Napanee impassable. Walking on the road becomes the only alternative and that can be an adventure. I have been told that the town has a by-law requiring residents to clear the sidewalks in front of their homes within 48 hours of a snowfall. There is a by-law enforcement officer ; why is he or she not enforcing that bylaw? Other people have told me he/she can't do anything until a complaint is received from someone. Whatever the rules are something needs to be done before someone gets hurt trying to walk on uncleared sidewalks or using the roadway.

Dear Garden: I Have Changed Last year at this time I wrote a column titled, ‘Dear Garden: I will change.’ I pulled it from my files in an attempt to stimulate some thought on how, in fact, I had changed and why. I hope that this written reflection is helpful to you. I will Listen More In January 2013 I wrote: “My world is full of noise. By day e-mails fill my head with information and planned responses. In 2013 I am going to be more attentive to bird song, wind in the trees and the buzz of a honey bee visiting a nearby flower. I will take more time to absorb the music of nature precisely where I find it. I will turn off my cell phone. I will leave the power equipment in the shed whenever possible.” I changed all right. Perhaps without making a conscious attempt at listening more, it happened anyway. As the soil warmed and the month of April slipped over the horizon of time, May gave rise to more than 14,000 daffodils that I had planted on my property over the past 7 years. On May 4th I attended a long awaited appointment with a urologist. My G.P. had sent me there to get my prostate checked out as the results of recent PSA tests indicated that there may be a problem. During my brief first visit with the specialist it was determined that more tests were recommended, which I undertook. By mid May I had received the news that, indeed, I had prostate cancer. It was serious enough that I needed to give it immediate attention, though it was not life threatening. The day that the doctor gave me the ‘bad’ news – I drove slowly, in search of some green space. I found a small park, located under a hydro right of way with one large tree growing on the margin of the parking lot. I sat on the cool green grass, looked at the tree and began asking questions. When I arrived home I sat on the front porch and watched the feathered wildlife while I continued to ask questions, this time directing them to no one in particular. But the big oak tree in our front yard seemed to be listening. I will Observe More Last year I wrote: “There was the tiniest of bird nests in one of my dwarf apple trees this past summer. I only noticed it when I drove past it on the ride on lawn mower and it brushed against my shoulder. It belonged to a finch, mother-in-waiting who was more than attentive. She was a saint for sitting on her eggs, 5 of them smaller than my baby

finger nail. All bird-mothers are saints. Next year I will get off the ride-on mower and spend more time wandering through my apple orchard without any specific purpose, other than just doing it.” Well, I did walk through that orchard a lot more this year. For one, the trees grew a prodigious quantity of red, ripe apples that required my attention. When I was not picking them I was watching for the return of mother-finch, with no luck. I will Create More Last year I wrote: “One of the wonders of humankind is our ability to dream and convert dreams into something real. Gardens are the result of this ability. There is, after all, no animal that dreams and creates quite like we do. This ability can destroy nature or build it up.” On June 13th I was admitted to hospital to undergo a radical prostectomy. Two days later I was released. The excellent staff there handed me off to my excellent wife who took me home for the 6 week recovery. This journey, I was to discover, was just beginning. As my body took its own sweet time healing, I was instructed to not push a lawn mower, dig any holes or swing a golf club until I had the ‘all clear’ from my surgeon. My next appointment with him was six weeks away. I spent a lot more time on that front porch, watching for hummingbirds, changes in the weather, visitors pulling into the driveway, and imagining an amazing golf swing. The birds and visitors came and [for six weeks] my golf game never looked so good, proving once again that I have an active fantasy life. But dream I did. I conjured up images of colour and cool shade: an enhanced yard and garden, without the competition of twitch grass or Canada thistles. I imagined a new plan for my acre of vegetables and a green roof over my wood shed. I discovered that when you sit and think long enough you can come up with all kinds of makework projects. I will Feed and Nurture More Last year I wrote: “If there is just one thing that I have learned from my garden over the years it is this: one reaps what one sows. I feed the soil and the soil gives back aplenty. My vegetable garden is the greatest gage of this, though the exercise is equally informing with my ornamental trees and perennials. By ‘exercise’ I mean the annual practice of adding a large quantity of natural, organic material to the soil in an effort to build up

looked better. I will Share More I wrote: “This New Years I am taking the time to look The Green File around me. Who can benefit from my garden? As my vegetable garden grows and matures throughout the season I bring the excess produce to my buddy Ted at Mothers Deli for him to sell. I don’t charge him for it. He sells some of it right off of the shelf and makes his famous pesto sauce and soup with the remainder, which he also sells to his fortunate clientele. The money is turned over to the Food Bank.” I did and Ted did. There was a record crop of tomatoes this year in my garden, perhaps the result of all that hopefulness and praying for a successful recovery spilled over into their roots. Recover I have. In late July my urologist told me that I am ‘cancer free’ and could move on to the ‘monitoring’ stage of the plan. Yes, I changed all right. Not in ways that I had predicted a year ago, nor for reasons that I anticipated. But I have changed. Through the miracle of nature's healing and modern science I am a new man, for better or worse. I am one of the lucky ones. I guess it us up to me to Mark Cullen appears on Canada AM every Wednesday morning at 8:40.

MAY | Residents weigh in on wind turbines, Napanee’s multicultural festival turns 10 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 n Town of Deseronto council passed a budget with a 5.4 per cent increase above 2012, which was approximately a $90 increase for the average household. n Bath’s first ever Marine Heritage Festival was a success and brought in rich history from across the region. Many boats were seen at the weekend-long festival, including the St. Lawrence II (SL2), which is used for Brigantine Inc. youth programming and teaching. n NDSS Golden Hawks were unable to match the La Salle Black Knights in the junior boys rugby KASSAA finals. n Hockey Canada eliminated body checking for peewees. Many parents,

coaches and players had mixed feelings on the decision. June 2013 n Communities were given more say when it came to future development of wind and solar energy projects after an announcement made by Ontario Energy Minister Bob Chairelli. However, this change did not affect projects already proposed – which includes the 33-38 Industrial Wind Turbine project proposed for Amherst Island. n Goodyear plant marked its 25th birthday by announcing an $8.5 million investment to improve its efficiency and responsiveness to customers. n Greater Napanee council • Interior Design • Home Staging • Window Treatments • Organization • Painting • Colour Consultations

received a petition from concerned residents who believed they should be paying rural taxes as opposed to urban. There are about 40 homes that were identified as ‘urban’ but did not benefit from urban amenities. Council has taken the petition and has looked into the issue and staff should come back to council with a report in 2014. n Greater Napanee council held a public meeting regarding a bylaw proposal that would prohibit and regulate the discharge of firearms within the municipality, which brought out many speaking in opposition to the bylaw. The issue was brought forward after complaints were made regarding gunshot noises and the hunting of ducks on the Napanee River. - Divine Hair Stupid and Aesthetics took on a new ‘green’ approach, recycling all chemical waste, hair and other materials dangerous to drinking water and unable to break down in landfills. n Denis Flanagan, gardening expert and HGTV show host, hosted Gardening Day in Napanee at Home Hardware. He offered landscaping ideas, gardening tips and helped plant a tree at Home Hardware. n Two of Napanee’s top baseball Hawk players, Keegan Scott and Ryan Bothwell, were selected for the KASSAA Western allstar team.

A message from the Executive Director……..

For many of us the winter season poses the greatest challenge in staying active and involved. Perhaps it’s the cold, the icy streets or the scant daylight hours that deter us from activity during the winter. However, the greatest health risk for older adults is inactivity. Studies show that 20 minutes of physical activity most days produces health benefits such as more energy and reduced stress, stronger muscles and bones, better posture and balance and better physical and mental health. If transportation is a problem, buddy up with a friend, telephone your neighbor to give you a ride to the activity centre where you’ll find friendship and activities to keep you involved and active all winter. Maybe use the Tuesday/Friday Town Bus. Become a member and help support programs and activities being offered. Get involved in arts and crafts and let your creativity shine. Maybe you would enjoy fancy needle and patch work, then our Quilters group is for you. In today’s age it is so essential that you have some computer related experience so I encourage you to take a computer class. If getting physical is your goal for the New Year, then take the opportunity for some yoga, Zumba, using weights and stability balls and the choices are many. What better way to pass the time then with playing Euchre or Bridge.

There is something for everyone at the 55 Plus Activity Centre. Warmest wishes for the Christmas holidays and a New Year. Wendy McDonald

NDCC fostering next generation of curlers Junior program teaches the basics of the sport BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

File photo

Matt Loveys was pressed into service after getting the start of the night off in Saturday’s 9-1 loss to the Rebels. He came on after starter Brock Tufts gave up the game’s first six goals.

Deseronto ends 2013 with rough 9-1 loss to Rebels Ferguson has big night against former club Beaver Sports

eseronto’s forgettable 2013 was closed out with a loss 9-1 loss Saturday night on the road against the Campbellford Rebels. Devim MacLean’s goal at the 11:49 mark was the lone bright spot for the visitors, at the time cutting the Rebels’ lead to 2-1. Brandon Turner and Jordan Boutilier assisted on the play. Former Storm captain Nick Ferguson, now a member of the Rebels, responded just two minutes later to nullify any gains. Campbellford rolled out with six goals in the second to ice the win. Their sixth goal of the game chased starting goalie Brock Tufts from the game. Matt Loveys came on to close out the game. Though he allowed three more goals, he did turn in a blank third period, stopping 14 shots over the final 20 minutes.

Ryan Crowley lead the Rebels' charge, potting three goals and adding an assist. Ferguson added two helpers to go with his goal against his former team. Though another loss for the now 3-23 Storm meant very little in the grand scheme of things, the win was critical for the 12-11-12 Rebels. In a dogfight with the Napanee Raiders for the final playoff spot, the Rebels now hold a five point edge (27-22) over Napanee. The Rebels also possess a game in hand with 14 remaining to the Raiders’ 13. The two clubs have a huge meeting this Saturday in Warkworth. Heavy snowfall postponed a Dec. 20 meeting between the Raiders and Storm. No make up date has been announced yet. Deseronto will play their first game of the new year this Saturday when they host the Picton Pirates. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m. On Sunday they hit the road to face Amherstview

for a 7:30 p.m. start time. With just one more win over their final 14 games the Storm could best their 2012-13 record of 3-37. Barring a miraculous 14-0 run, it’s very likely they’ll miss the playoffs for the second year in a row. They will have plenty of chance to play spoiler in the new year however as spots two through five are up for grabs. As for Napanee, following Saturday’s game they’re home to the Port Hope Panthers this Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. The Panthers are currently tied for second with the Amherstview Jets, both with 32 points. The Picton Pirates have all but claimed the league’s top playoff seed with their 26-1-1 record. That gives them a full 21 point edge over the second place clubs. Just about entering the home stretch, the six-team Empire B League regular season ends Feb. 14 with the top four teams making the playoffs.

Ensuring that the future of Napanee and District Curling Club will be in good hands, the club has been actively recruiting the younger generation for its junior program. Currently the club boasts 40 active members under the age of 20 and one rink that competes in the Greater Kingston Curling Association League. They're hoping to grow those numbers in the new year and for next season. “I’m pretty sure we’ll be able to get more interest,” said Dave Travers, director of NDCC’s junior program. “It’s a commitment. Every Saturday you curl.” Representing the Napanee club in the first year GKCA junior league is Seamus McDonald, Hayden Young, Jager Brown and Kyle Foster-Lynd, ranging from age nine to 15. Each game they rotate through the skip, lead, second and third positions to gain experience in all aspects of the game. They match up every week against entries from the Garrison, Royal Kingston, Gananoque and Cataraqui clubs. Each week they travel to a different club in the five club circuit. “I put the word out and got four responses, so that’s the four we went with,” said Travers, noting they were up against a deadline for registering a team. He’s hoping to register more teams for next season as the word begins to spread about the new junior league.

NDCC juniors’ Kyle Foster-Lynd (left) and Shamus McDonald sweep during a league game in December. Along with the games, they practice Wednesdays and Sundays. “It’s the cheapest sport in town,” adds Travers. “It’s only $43 for the season, which runs from October to March.” Though there’s never any shortage of players in their late 50s through to their 90s, the NDCC has been actively recruiting junior players of late. After helping to host the M&M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors in 2012 and the upcoming 2014 Olympic games in Sochi, the local club has noticed a spike in interest among Napanee’s younger generation.

They’re hoping to capitalize on the trend. “The junior program, that’s the future of the Napanee and District Curling Club,” said Travers. “Not only that, it provides a gateway for the kids for their whole lifetime. They can always come back to curling.” Travers notes that unlike contact sports, curling can be enjoyed be players well into their senior years. Though the curling season is nearing its halfway point, it's never too early to register. Travers can be reached at by calling 613373-0016.

Napanee Minor Hockey Report

Ice plays havoc with schedule Beaver Sports

With twenty-five games cancelled as a result of the ice storm and the playoffs set to begin after Jan 12, most teams were scrambling to complete their schedule. The Napanee Minor Midget Stars had three games postponed, but made up one in Oshawa to earn a 5-3 win before their long awaited European tour began. n The Major Midget Stars were able to play through

the weather as well. Major Midgets faced their shortest bench yet when they met the Quinte Golden Hawks in Trenton. Guts and perseverance was displayed by all players, and they put forth a great team effort. Nate McFarland stopped shots from every angle but the Quinte team proved too much for the Stars. The final was 4-0. Earlier, the Majors travelled to Pickering to face off with the Panthers, losing a close 3-1 match. The Stars hit the ice

and the Panthers hard and often. Penalties worked against the boys throughout the game and tightened an already short bench. It was a great defensive effort by Colsen Bertrand, Troy Kenney and Jeremy Martin, particularly in the third, shutting down the Panthers. James Hanley made several spectacular saves in net, especially during the penalty kills. Adam Weatherhead scored the Midgets lone goal.

AUGUST | Sun shines on Napanee Fair, Junior Express clinch silver at Nationals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 August 2013 n Napanee’s Business Improvement Area teamed with the regional Canadian Diabetes Association to host the first-ever ‘Taste of Napanee.’ More than 300 people attended the event, which featured local musicians, artists and food vendors. “Overall I think it was absolutely terrific,” said the Downtown Napanee BIA’s Tom Coke. “I heard a number of positive comments from the vendors and from the people taking part in the event, there was

a lot of great words said and I also got some really great feedback on some things we can change to make it even better.” n Spurred by articles they read about Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre, Ken Collins and Ilka Hrynchyshn came forward with a huge donation to help fund an animal hospital. The total cost for the hospital was estimated at $400,000. SPWC director Sue Meech sought help from the rest of the community to help cover the costs.

HINCHEY - In loving memory of a very dear father and grandfather, Wilfred, who passed away December 31, 1991.

Forever loved and never forgotten by son Jerry, daughter-in-law Beverly and grandsons Adam and Justin. MURRAY - Terry, passed away January 4, 2008. Within our hearts we always keep A special place for you And try to do our best to live As you would want us to, As we loved and cherished you, In memory you are near, Loved, remembered, longed for still Through every passing year.

(nee Rogers) July 4, 1919-December 20, 2013 In her 95th year, Nan Alkenbrack died - as she lived - surrounded by her loving family. The youngest daughter of Daniel Rogers and Annie Milligan, Nan was born in Wesley (Newburgh), Ontario. She and her siblings, Myrtle, Bess and Jim grew up on the farm and remained close throughout their lives. Nan was an avid student who excelled at the Newburgh Academy and attended Normal School in Toronto. A passionate educator, Nan enjoyed an illustrious thirty-five year career teaching in several local Lennox and Addington elementary schools. “Mrs. A” inspired thousands of young people to reach their potential and remained in close contact with many of her students and colleagues throughout her lifetime. For Nan, every moment was a teachable moment which she shared in her gentle way. At a dance pavilion in Deseronto, Nan met her husband-to-be Douglas Alkenbrack. She soon joined the Alkenbrack family, becoming a sister to Doug’s four brothers and a much loved daughter-in-law. For 59 years, Nan and Doug were great partners. With their two children, they enjoyed camping, cottaging and travelling in Canada from east to west. Together, Nan and Doug proudly

served their community, with Nan as an integral supporter of Doug’s lengthy career as a Member of Parliament in Ottawa. Nan was extremely devoted to her children, Eleanor Grennell (Herb), Doug Alkenbrack (Shelley) and also to her grandchildren, Paul (Daphne), Katherine (Bernie), Jennifer (Struan), Sarah (Kevin) and Andrew. Nan spent wonderful weekends at the family cottage on Skootamatta Lake, where she often slept out in the tent with all the kids or held a grammar lesson on the deck overlooking the bay. A keen observer of the wonders of nature, Nan taught her grandchildren to listen to the soughing of the wind in the trees and to gaze in awe at the beauty of Queen Anne’s Lace. Later in life, she continued to teach these important lessons to her nine great-grandchildren, Erin, Haley, Megan, Claire, Jack, Molly, Aidan, Zahra and Stella. Nan is predeceased by her brother Jim Rogers and her sisters, Elizabeth Hunt and Myrtle MacRow. Nan was an elegant yet authentic person. She will continue to inspire all those who knew and loved her. Her memory will remind us to live in the moment, to be mindful of our blessings and to reflect on the beauty of the “dancing daffodils”. The family is grateful for the exceptional support provided by the entire team at The John Parrott Centre in Napanee. Their constant care throughout the last three years of Nan’s life made all the difference. Special thanks to Cheryl Rattray for the love and care given to Nan and to all of us over the years. A Celebration of Nan’s life was held at the Wartman Funeral Home “Napanee Chapel”. Visitation took place on Sunday, December 22nd from 2pm-4pm and 7pm-9pm with Funeral Service held on Monday, December 23rd at 11am. Interment Riverview Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations by cheque can be made to The John M. Parrott Centre or the Lennox & Addington Humane Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. “And then my heart with pleasure fills And dances with the daffodils”.

H O R O S C O P E S

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Thanks to the chilly weather, a beach vacation beckons you, Aries. Start planning an excursion to a warm locale that allows you to escape the daily grind. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) A sporting event or something that draws a large crowd is just where you need to be this week, Taurus. Surround yourself with people who share your interests. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Give an issue in your relationship the consideration it merits, Gemini. Though it might not seem like it now, taking time to work this out will ultimately strengthen your relationship. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, the final stages of a project you have been working on are ready begin. Don't be afraid to take credit when all of your hard work pays off in a big way. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Obligations to work and family leave you short on personal time, Leo. Though your schedule is hectic, make time to unwind and you will be glad for having done so. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) It may take a while to convince someone to go along with your idea, Virgo. Yet once you have this person's support, they will be fully on board.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) You may have been bouncing around aimlessly for some time, Libra. But now is the week to get all of your affairs together and put your plan for the future in motion. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Restlessness can sometimes be a dangerous thing for you, Scorpio. Channel any restlessness into a worthy project that makes good use of your boundless energy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Sagittarius, make the best of a situation that needs changing. You might not be able to affect change, but that does not mean you can't improve the situation with a positive attitude. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Perceptions vary, Capricorn. Just because you feel strongly about something doesn't mean another will view it the same way. Accept that your passion will not always be reciprocated. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, even though it will be a busy week, you aren't likely to feel wiped out. There will still be time for fun. Figure out a day to do something enjoyable. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Pisces, you are torn between being creative and following convention at work. Ask a colleague for some input.
