Waterfront property’s future unclear

Local MP holds budget consultation sessions

Demolition, new boat ramp in discussion

Mike Bossio says he received good feedback from local officials and community organizations............ Page 2.

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Property on the Napanee River east of the Centre Street bridge was a large topic of concern at a recent Greater Napanee council meeting. Issues relating to the preservation of a house located at 18 Water St., and whether a boat launch should replace the Lions Club Park, were both discussed at length the Jan. 12 regular council meeting. Council had previously discussed demolition of the 18 Water St. house, but granted the Municipal Heritage Committee 60 days to research the house and argue whether it should be preserved, either entirely or partially. “It’s important to note that the property, in terms of the research, is we believe it to be at least early 1840s. By 1855 the house was present and appears on early records of the town,” Dennis Mills, of the Municipal Heritage Committee told council. Mills presented a report to council, detailing the property and different ways it could be used. “We want to remind you that an opportunity does present itself to consider how this property could be preserved for other uses within the town,” said Mills. “We hope that you will be able to find ways to repurpose the building.” The report details extensive research on the architecture of the building and its cultural heritage. “One possible use of the building could serve three purposes. The building is currently fully serviced for water, sewer and electricity. By

The future of this house at 18 Water St. and a proposed new boat ramp at nearby Lions Club Park still have to be determined by Greater Napanee council. removing the modern lower level sunroom, the basement area could be reworked to accommodate pubic washrooms accessible from the riverside pathway that would presumably be central to the riverfront redevelopment project,” the report states. The report also noted the building could be used as a summer tourism and information location, while also allowing space for artists to display their work. Mills added that since the proposal is for summer use, the building would not need much work. If council chooses not to repurpose or renovate the building,

Mills asked that the town relocate the building and allow for items within the house to be donated and preserved, wherever possible. Ward 4 Councillor Carol Harvey was in favour of preserving the building and moved that staff get quotes on renovating and repurposing the building, either for tourism use or another means. She also moved to acquire quotes for demolition and relocating prices, in case the house cannot be preserved. Council carried the motion. Another hot topic for property in that area was a proposal of a new boat launch east of the Centre

Street bridge. An open house was held at the Strathcona Paper Centre on Dec. 16 to discuss the proposal. Council has since received negative feedback regarding the boat launch, including a letter and deputation from the Napanee Lions Club. Bill Russell of the Napanee Lions Club presented the club’s letter to council stating the club was not impressed that it was not informed of the boat launch idea, which is being proposed for the property where the Napanee Lions Club Park is currently situated.

MP holds pair of budget consultation sessions

BY SETH DUCHENE

since last fall’s election, local MP Mike Bossio says Editor he wants to make sure this region’s voice is heard. With the federal Liberal As such, the Hastingsgovernment in the process Lennox and Addington Libof preparing its first budget eral MP held a pair of con-

sultation meetings last week — one in Bancroft on Tuesday and one in Napanee on Wednesday — to hear from municipal, community and business groups about their ongoing needs

and challenges. “It’s been a really good exercise, talking to everybody, feeding my thoughts and receiving their ideas back, having that dialogue and discussion,” Bossio said following the Napanee session on Wednesday night at the L&A Museum and Archives. “It’s great to be able to have these budget consultations and have a chance to get people’s feedback and input into what they feel the priorities should be in the budget, and also to come up with some ideas.” Bossio also said it’s important to be organized to ensure that when the Liberal government begins to allocate funding as it follows through on its election promises, this riding’s needs are addressed. “We know some of the areas that are (going to be part of) the $60 billion infrastructure funding that’s going to go to social infrastructure, public

transit and ‘green’ and climate resilient infrastructure, which includes water and sewer and flood remediation,” he said. “In looking at those areas — as well as $3 billion in home care, the $750 million in jobs training, the $1.13 billion in student employment — we know these funds are coming, so let’s not wait until they get here and then find out what we can do. Let’s get into the consultations.” And, he admits, larger urban centres have the benefit of having more MPs, and fewer organizations to try to represent. “I’m one MP that’s got 18 municipalities, one territory, two counties, and then all of the myriad social and community organizations and economic and business organizations,” he said. “The City of Toronto has 40 MPs, one municipality, one social organization, one chamber of commerce. That’s what I’m competing with. I need

to get ahead of the game before everybody else does so I can get to the ministers and have those conversations.” He said the issues that came to the fore during the session varied greatly, from long-term care to transit. He also said there was a great deal of overlap between provincial and federal issues. Bossio said that the federal government should play more of a role than simply allocating funding to the provinces and municipalities, particularly when it comes to levels of service and how various programs are funded. “You can’t just throw money over the wall and say, ‘that’s yours, go away and don’t talk to me, you figure out how to spend it,’” he said. “I think that we have to get back to having discussions with the provinces and the municipalities, and that is happening.”

Police Beat

French citizen charged with stunt driving on 401 Beaver Staff

A visitor from France is apparently going to have at least one negative takeaway from Canada: a stunt-driving charge. According to the Napanee OPP, an officer was conducting traffic enforcement on Monday on the eastbound lanes of Highway 401 near Napanee when he stopped a vehicle travelling at 160 kilometres per hour. A 25-year-old from France had his rental vehicle seized for seven days and was issued a seven-day driver’s licence suspension. He was issued a summons and is scheduled to appear in provincial court in Napanee on Feb. 4.

Assault Charge

This weekend, officers with the Napanee OPP arrested a Napanee man in relation to

an alleged assault that occurred last Wednesday. On Saturday, police were called to an apartment on Dundas Street to respond to a complaint of trespassing. While at the doorway of an apartment, officers could smell the odour of freshlyburnt marijuana and noticed a small quantity of marijuana in plain view inside the apartment. A 22-year-old man was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and for the earlier assault on Wednesday. He was released on a promise to appear and an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in provincial court in Napanee on Feb. 16.

nee OPP were conducting a RIDE program on Wednesday in Deseronto when, at 2:50 p.m., the police checked a vehicle after detecting the odour of marijuana coming from within the vehicle. The driver was arrested for possession of a controlled substance. Police also located approximately 50 pounds of what appeared to be stolen copper wire inside the vehicle. A 23-year-old Deseronto man faces charges of possession of a controlled substance, obstructing police and possession of stolen property. Police are continuing their investigation and are attempting to locate the owner of the copper wire.

Iconic Manly MacDonald print donated to museum Picture to be displayed at front entrance BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

HOSE familiar with painter Manly MacDonald’s work — and even some of those who aren’t so familiar — will undoubtably recognize the newest addition to the Lennox and Addington Museum and Archives collection, which has been hung prominently beside the museum’s entrance. The canvas print, which is a transfer piece donated by art collector and author Charles Beale, is a perfect representation of all the trademarks that made MacDonald stand out. It depicts a rural scene of a farmer working his field with three horses set beneath a striking blue and white sky. Beale had the print made when he was promoting his book Manly Edward MacDonald: Interpreter of old Ontario. The painting was used as the cover of his book, which will be avail-

The print had previously hung at Synergy in downtown Napanee. “I thought (the print) was perfect for the muse-

um,” Beale said of the print. “He’s a local artist, so I said to Jane (Foster, Manager of L&A County Museum and Archives) I’d like to donate it. I’m very pleased (they

chose to hang it) right in the front foyer.” Though he had plenty of options when choosing the cover of his book, Beale noted that this work in par-

ticular was a great representation of what MacDonald specialized in. Beale says it’s not quite clear which location the painting depicts, but notes

it’s either L&A County or Prince Edward County. MacDonald has painted hundreds of such scenes in the surrounding area. “We know it’s from this area,” said Beale, who has gone over catalogues of MacDonald’s works while preparing his book. Foster says MacDonald’s ties to the area, along with his ability to capture rural life of the early 20th century, make his works a perfect fit for the museum. Prior to the donation the museum had just a small MacDonald painting in their possession. “He’s not represented in our collection,” Foster said of MacDonald. “It is something that we need to be on the lookout for.” MacDonald, who was born in Point Anne, Ont., in 1889, was a frequent visitor to Lennox and Addington County. He painted several landscapes in the area, including the Napanee River as well as several farm scenes. Among his many accomplishments was being commissioned to paint Toronto’s landscape as a gift to Queen Elizabeth II. He died in 1971 with more than 2,000 canvasses to his name.

Up-and-coming artist featured in concert series BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Another instalment in the Starstop Concert Series will take place in Napanee next week, featuring an up-andcoming folk artist from Whitby. Annie Sumi is an independent singer songwriter with a powerful and captivating voice. Her show is scheduled for Ellena’s Café next Thursday — a small, intimate setting, allowing for special interaction among guests and performer. Sumi draws inspiration

from Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Norah Jones, and Sarah McLachlan. “I love their voices and melodies. So that’s kind of the genre that I play with,” she said. “I think a lot of the inspiration comes from stories. I love meeting people and a lot of the times I find these common themes in people’s lives, whether it’s dealing with loss or love or any of these common themes that connect humans,” she added. Sumi released her debut album, Reflections, in April 2015, which she will feature at her show next week. “It’s quite a spectrum of

different songs in terms of instrumental arrangement and it covers a lot of different themes. It deals with things that are kind of universal to people and what we go through,” said Sumi. Her album was a CBC Radio pick of the month and has received airplay across the country. Sumi has been performing for about five years, especially through eastern Ontario. In the past year she decided to go professional with her music and hasn’t looked back since.

“Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember,” she said. “When I was really young I took lessons in piano. I began singing old Dixie Chicks songs and all that fun stuff. I loved being able to attach melodies to phrases and my love for literature and combining that love with my love of music, it all just made so much sense.” Aside from her solo career, Sumi has recently started working in an allfemale group of singersongwriters, called Hidden

Roots Collective. They will be releasing their first group album this coming April. “It’s definitely rooted in folk but we all have such different writing styles. One of the girls brings more of a jazzy tone to the group. It’s pretty eclectic to create this really interesting array of music,” said Sumi. The group began in North Bay, where each of the women were living at the time. They met through the music community there and began collaborating until finally Hidden Roots

Collective was formed. “We all came together and created this collective of vocalists and song writers and decided to bring our songs together and try to make them even better with the group of us,” said Sumi. Sumi will be performing at Ellena’s Café on Jan. 28 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 each and available at Ellena’s Café, Marie’s Place, and online at www.starstop.ca.

Challenging times ahead

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

Earlier this week, a study unveiled by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities told us something our own local municipal officials know already — and all too well: municipalities in Canada aren’t Combined in 1965 spending enough on infrastructure. with The Napanee The Canadian Infrastructure Report Card (in Express (EST. 1861) and The Deseronto part published in The Globe and Mail on Monday) seems to confirm exactly what we’ve been hearing Post (EST. 1904) at the local level for years. According to the Eastern Wardens Caucus (of which Lennox and An independent Ontario Addington County and its constituent municipalities are a part), municipal infrastructure across the community region required $3.74 million in repairs as of 2013; newspaper nationally, according to the recently published study, 12 per cent of municipal infrastructure is in poor or very poor condition, and it would take a JEAN MORRISON $141 billion investment in order to bring it all up to OWNER & proper repair. PUBLISHER All this would suggest that when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government will make SALES MANAGER infrastructure investment a priority, he’s on the SCOTT JOHNSTON right track — and not just because public infrastructure in Canada is in need of that investment.

Second, the rest of that infrastructure deficit will have to be tackled by the provinces and municipalities. The budgetary woes of the Province of Ontario are significant; instead of making headway, we expect the province will barely keep up, or even fall behind. Municipalities, meanwhile, are already relying heavily on provincial and federal governments to help them try to minimize property tax increases. To put even a modest dent in the infrastructure deficit would require councils to hike property taxes (which are already steadily increasing). We don’t know of too many property taxpayers who say they’re being under-taxed. Further, even at bargain-basement borrowing prices, going into deficit is still borrowing — the bill eventually must be paid. In the meantime, it’s a budgetary burden and a drag on the economy.

Moving towards a waste-free Ontario The proposed Waste-Free Ontario Act marks a significant shift in how Ontario considers waste. Known as Bill 151, the proposed Act is intended to improve waste reduction efforts, increase resource productivity, enable efficient and effective collection and recycling systems, and increase the market value of recovered materials. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture supports the Waste-Free Ontario Act’s objective to reduce waste, and reduce the province’s dependency on landfills that are typically located in rural areas. Bill 151 focuses on the manufacturing and packaging sector that produce products that often find their way into the waste

V i s i t

stream. The proposed act puts increased pressure on these sectors to adopt practices that result in the production of more resilient, reusable and recyclable products.

Keith Currie OFA Comment The new act is set to replace the current Waste Diversion Act. OFA consulted extensively with industry partners in previous attempts to improve the Waste Diversion Act and believes the goals embraced within the proposed WasteFree Ontario Act will be favourable to all Ontarians, and our environment.

The OFA will be watching the progress of this proposed act and, if enacted, the accompanying regulatory setting process. We don’t want to be surprised by any unintended consequences impacting Ontario farm businesses. Ontario farmers already participate in recycling programs that involve the recycling of pesticide and fertilizer containers, feed, seed and pesticide bags, plastic bale wrap and many other items used on the farm. Expansion of those programs will be an important development under the proposed act. The OFA applauds the waste-free Ontario initiative proposed in Bill 151. Keith Currie is the vicepresident of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture.

Letter to the Editor

Town’s new boat ramp plan a bad idea I’m betting that a lot of people in Napanee are still unaware that council is looking for feedback on a proposal for the riverfront east of Centre Street. It is a proposal that will transform Lions Park and the recently purchased property adjacent to it into a parking lot and boat launch. I personally was unaware of the plan until Christmas Day, and it really wasn’t the kind of news I like to get in my stocking. That park and all the land between the river and Water Street east of the bridge make up a well-used green space; vehicular traffic is minimal and so people go there for a leisurely stroll, walk their dogs, push their baby carriages, take their kids fishing and feed the local flock of ducks and geese. It’s a nice quiet space to have in the middle of town — and if this plan is allowed to go through we can likely kiss all that goodbye. There will be trucks revving and motor boats zooming, disturbing the ducks, scaring the fish, and marring any peace you might be looking for. And forget playing ball with Bowser. Given the

parking provisions in the plan, the public land along Water Street could turn into one long parking lot for trucks and boat trailers. This proposal is the alternative the town is offering to the existing parking lot and boat launch just west of the bridge (admittedly uninspired) and it has been in the works for some time apparently. Quinte Conservation was approached by the town quite a few months ago to inquire if putting a boat launch east of the bridge would be OK, and not adversely affect ecologically sensitive areas — which it won’t unless of course you view the human inhabitants of the town as part of the ecology. When I asked the conservation authority if the town had put forward any other boat launch sites for their consideration, they said no. Just to be clear, the site of the current boat launch is fine with the authority too, so one wonders why the taxpayer will be burdened with a seemingly needless relocation on the other side of the bridge that would: 1) Not

reduce any of the congestion along Centre Street and in fact would probably increase it; 2) certainly be tiresome for anyone wishing to launch a sail boat or even a motor boat with a windshield because they might be hard-pressed to get under the bridge all in one piece; 3) likely annoy most of the seniors who still have their hearing and live in the condos across the river and; 4) insult the Lions Club. Also, it is mind boggling that the town has not put forward any other options that would offer real differences and improvements over the long term. At least town council has had the wisdom to extend the public feedback period for this proposal; with luck council and the public will ultimately bury it. Napanee is a very pretty town, especially down by the river. Here’s just hoping they don’t actually ‘pave paradise and put up a parking lot’ along with a boat launch for a select group of stunted boats. Bubby Kettlewell, Greater Napanee

Barred owl’s story sad, but heartening The following is a, monthly column designed to teach local residents about the wild animals that live among us. Marylin Kendall is writing the column for the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre, a Napanee-based facility that cares for injured wildlife. This month I have a story of my own to tell. We were driving from Belleville to Picton in early December when we noticed a car parked on the shoulder of the road and a woman on the opposite side — obviously upset — standing over something small and brown… and motionless. We stopped to help. The ‘something brown’ was a barred owl, obviously in distress with rapid breathing and tightly closed eyes. As we stood at a distance, he seemed to calm a bit. A friend with us called Sandy Pines to report

the incident and ask for to the ground. Two of the bystanders advice. In no time, several other went into the woods and cars pulled over and a gather- brought the owl out; others ing of concerned people held a large soft bag open so formed. We discussed what he could be gently placed best to transport the owl in. inside. We then drove him to Sandy Pines. P e o p l e A f t e r returned to examination, their cars and SPWC direcproduced a Sue variety of On The Wild Side tor Meech reportcontainers ed that he from shopping bags to laundry baskets very likely had a head injury. She explained that he was to coolers. While that was going on, young and not strong. His the owl gradually pulled its weakness could explain why wings in toward his body and he was flying so low that he sat more upright. Suddenly, flew into a car. Sue added, to our surprise, he lifted off “There might have been a and flew toward the nearby ‘wave’ of young owls migratwoods. We all applauded, ing south, as other rehabbers pleased to see his wings were found the same thing in that not damaged. But our pleas- time period. Several owls ure was short-lived as he were brought in, all with tried to land on a branch but injuries from weakened was unable to hold on and fell states, then none since.”

Marilyn Kendall

How are these owls cared for? Sue explains, “We keep them in a quiet, stress-free environment and handle as little as possible. We give them pain medication twice a day by mouth and small amounts of fluids containing electrolytes, as they are usually dehydrated. It is important not to start solid food for a few days as that can kill a debilitated bird or animal. You have to go slow.” Unfortunately, our owl did not survive his injuries, but at least he died in care. A sad story, you might think, but also a heartening one. The woman whose car was struck by the owl stayed with him on the roadway, speaking to him softly to calm him. And all those who stopped to help showed equal concern for this small injured creature. In spite of the outcome, it was a gratifying experience.

Staff picks: Pretty Baby Chantell of the County of Lennox and Addington Libraries’ Napanee Branch recently enjoyed Pretty Baby by Mary Kubica, which she suggests for fans of psychological thrillers. According to Chantell, “the book has the perfect amount of dysfunction, suspense and unexpected twists that will have you eager to keep reading.” Mary Kubica writes the story as told from the perspectives of three main characters, Heidi, Chris and Willow. Heidi is a warm hearted woman trying to do right in the world. She works for a non-profit agency helping people and she takes in stray cats. Although she may seem picture perfect, she has a

painful past that left her with the inability to have the big family she always wanted. Her husband Chris is an investment banker and a Coles’ workaholic, who travels a lot for work with a younger female co-worker. One cold rainy morning Heidi spots a young homeless girl clutching an infant at the train station on her way to work. The thought of that girl troubles her to the point that she wants to help the girl and her infant child. After several run-ins with the girl and many generous gestures later, Heidi invites the girl named Willow and the baby into her home. This

causes some animosity between her, Chris and their teenage daughter, who think this is an unwise idea. They know nothing about Notes this young girl whose only possessions are a baby, a briefcase and the clothes on her back. Willow is a very intriguing girl with an unsettling past. She seeks comfort in Heidi’s home but is still unwilling to disclose anything from her abusive past. As the story unfolds we find out more about Willow and baby Ruby. Having Willow and Ruby in the house causes Heidi to become very pos-

Catherine Coles

sessive. She becomes so immersed in caring for the baby as if it were her own, that it starts to interfere with her life and her family. Concerned for the safety of his family, Chris decides to do some digging to find out who Willow really is. Where did she come from, why is she running away and why are her clothes stained with blood? The answers to these questions are uncovered as the story unfolds and the characters’ baggage will resonate with you even after the last page is turned. Reserve this title at your branch of the County of L&A Libraries or online at www.countylibrary.ca. Catherine Coles is the Manager of Library Services for L&A County.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago January 19, 1966

n For the first time in 14 years, the Township of Denbigh, Abinger and Ashby would be represented in the Lennox and Addington County Warden’s chair. Gordon Plotz, reeve of that township, was unanimously elected to the county’s top job for the 1966 term. It was only the third time in almost 100 years that a Denbigh, A&A rep was elected to the post of warden. Plotz had been born and raised in the township, and for the past 27 years had operated a tourist lodge near the village of Denbigh. He was sworn into office by solicitor J.E. Madden. n Town of Napanee Reeve Claude Knight, chair of the town’s finance committee, said he didn’t see how council could avoid passing a “slight” increase in property taxes for 1966. One of the added costs for that year included a yearly contribution to the construction of the new Lennox and Addington County General Hospital. The town had committed to paying $13,000 a year for that project. He suggested that council could hold the line on taxes if they cut back on public works equipment, but said he didn’t favour that move.

30 Years Ago January 15, 1986

n Plans for a new $3.8 million seniors facility to be built north of Tamworth appeared to be close to fruition. The facility, dubbed ‘Nakiska’, would be located on a 1,000-acre property on Sheffield Lake. Developers hoped to break ground on the project as early as the spring of 1986, with construction being completed in the fall. The facility would include educational and recreational components, and would integrate itself into the broader community. It was hoped that the first guests would arrive in the fall of 1986. n The Lennox and Addington County Board of Education was at loggerheads with both its elementary and public school teachers. The Education Relations Commission had appointed a ‘fact finder’ in the dispute between the board and the elementary teachers. Meanwhile, provincial negotiators had taken over the secondary teachers’ bargaining with the school board. The fact finder would go over a wide range of issues involved with hammering out a new collective bargaining agreement. The latest offer from the school board was rejected by 91 per cent of secondary teachers in the county.

OPP make pair of impaired driving arrests A RIDE Program checkstop netted a suspected impaired driver early Sunday morning. Officers with the Napanee OPP were conducting the checkpoint on Highway 2 when they stopped a vehicle shortly before 1 a.m. An office checked the driver of the vehicle and subsequently arrested her for impaired driving. She was taken to the Napanee OPP detachment for breath tests. A 35-year-old Amherstview woman is facing charges of impaired driving and driving with more than the legal limit of alcohol in her system. She was issued a 90-day administrative driver’s licence suspension, her vehicle was impounded for seven days and she was released on a promise to appear. She is scheduled to attend provincial court in Napanee on Feb. 2.

These studies will examine interim and long-term interchange operational improvements, median improvements on Highway 401, replacement and/or widening of the Highway 401 bridges, pavement rehabilitation, drainage improvements, traffic signals, illumination, and traffic staging (including potential detours on County Road 41 and Palace Road) during construction.

THE PROCESS Both studies will follow the approved planning process for a Group ‘B’ project under the MTO Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). Alternatives will be generated and evaluated based on technical and environmental factors and in consultation with public stakeholders, municipalities and government agencies. Two Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held for the Highway 401 / County Road 41 interchange (G.W.P. 4459-04-00) and two PICs will be held for the Highway 401 / Palace Road interchange (G.W.P. 4197-13-00) to provide interested parties with the opportunity to discuss the project and provide input to the Project Team. A Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared for each study and made available for public review at the completion of each study which will document: The need and justification for the project; Existing environmental conditions; The generation, assessment and evaluation of alternatives; The preferred alternative; A summary of potential environmental issues and mitigation measures; and A summary of consultation undertaken throughout the study.

A Loyalist Township man is facing drunk driving charges following a traffic stop in Amherstview on Saturday night. At 11:08 p.m., an officer on patrol in Amherstview noticed a pick-up truck being driven erratically. The officer followed and stopped the vehicle on Taylor-Kidd Boulevard. The driver of the truck was arrested for impaired driving and transported to the Loyalist OPP detachment in Odessa for breath tests. A 20-year-old Loyalist Township man was charged with impaired driving and driving with more than the legal limit of alcohol in his system. He is scheduled to appear in provincial court in Napanee on Jan. 26.

Golashes: The height of fashion Never known for her powers of discernment, Marilyn Monroe was nevertheless insightful when she announced: “Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world!” Another (anonymous) quote: “People are slaves to style, and will spend unbelievable amounts of money for a certain brand” As accurate as they are, quotes like these are really

not necessary. It is blatantly obvious even to the casual observer! In the 1950s teens would not be caught dead wearing a hat, even in the coldest day of the winter. A toque suggested one might have come from the ‘backwoods’, the product of a behind-the-times environment. It was simply ‘cool’ to be cold. Ear muffs were borderline in their acceptabili-

ty — at least frost-bitten ears were less likely. In the 1970s long coats came into vogue — but one would not stoop to buttoning or tying them up. That was just uncouth! For the last two decades, winter boots have been scorned by those who are ‘with it’ (with the exception of teenage girls who sport them as the ‘in thing’ even during the hottest day in

that ‘modern’ footwear was held in place by buckles. Talk about déjà vu!) Golashes of this nature were the order of the day for decades commencing in the 1920s. Whether in the cloakroom of a school, a community hall, or a church, line upon line of them cluttered the available space during inclimate weather. With that picture in mind, plus the aforementioned practice of leaving a buckle or two unlatched, the following corny anecdote seems appropriate. It seems that during the ‘Flapper’ era, the number of snaps or buttons left undone made a statement about one’s romantic status: one undone meant she was spoken for; two undone meant engagement; three indicated marriage. But what about all four unfastened? That meant sheer absentmindedness! Stylish they were not. But practical, serviceable, and durable they were! Apart from slashes, punctures, or mechanical failure — sometimes one buckle would cease to function (hence giving no clasp effect; or protruding awkwardly and catching in everything) — the only way to abandon them was to be, well, a slave to changing styles.

Top 5 tips for creating biodiversity in your yard This past Christmas I made several insect hotels in my woodworking shop for some of the special people on my gift list. They were received graciously and at the same time with the common queries: ‘What is it? What does an insect hotel do? What kind of insects will it attract? Are they all good for my garden?’ Just when I thought I had covered the bases on this subject I came to the stark realization that we have a lot of work to do. Clearly this discussion has a long way to go. It started with concern about the decline in the honey bee population and has extended to the general concern shared by naturalists everywhere about the problems with our native population of pollinators. We are no longer concerned exclusively with the decline of honey bees. Truth is, there are more than 700 species of native bees (honey bees are not native) that serve as primary pollinators ‘out there’ in the natural environment, many of which you can attract to your yard with an insect hotel. In addition, there are thousands of other invertebrates that either pollinate over 30 per cent of the plants that we rely on for food or are essential members of the web of insects that make up the whole show. It is complicated. But luckily I am here to boil this one down for you. Take a mid-winter moment to digest the following and you will be on your way to understanding the whole, big picture. Understand the meaning of ‘biodiversity’. The word comes from ‘biological diversity’. The World Wildlife Federation defines it as ‘the term given to the variety of life on Earth. It is the variety within and between all species of plants, animals and micro-organisms and the ecosystems within which they live and interact.” Bio-

blooming, rudbeckia, Joe Pye weed, asters, mums and Japanese anemones to name a few. Go Native. Or not. A recent study in England indicated that it is not important to a bug that a plant is native, as long as it produces a blossom that attracts them in the first place. According to the results of ‘The Plants for Bugs Pollinator’ research it is the diversity of plant material that attracts the maximum range of bug species, not whether they are native. To quote the study, “The value of a site can be maximized for pollinators by choosing plants from different regions of the world.” Add water and don’t stir. The single most impactful feature that you can add to your garden or balcony where attracting pollinators is concerned is to add a still-water feature. A pond in the yard or a halfbarrel on the balcony works just fine. When you add a Mark Cullen water feature I can guaranA homemade ‘insect hotel’. tee that you will discover wildlife in your yard that diversity in your yard is rep- galore, but you will need to you have never seen before. resented by the range of nat- be more thoughtful about As dragonflies, salamanurally occurring plant, ani- your plan.

I hope that you will stay tuned to my column for more as we explore the importance of creating biodiversity in our yards and gardens. As I look in to the crystal ball I see the interest in attracting pollinators and creating biodiversity in Canadian gardens as growing steadily.

Within a generation the average Canadian garden will have little to do with the plant collections and formal, clipped and manicured gardens made popular after the Second World War.

Greater Napanee

Council resolves to develop master plan Municipality hopes to have guiding document prepared by the end of council’s four-year term BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Greater Napanee council has set its sights on developing a master plan by the end of its term. Council brought up a number of points that lead to why a master plan is necessary, which included plans for major upgrading and how to move forward with devel-

oping the municipality. The discussion took place during a regular council meeting on Jan. 12. The plan is still in preliminary discussions. “How long would it take to do a master plan, or I call it a visionary plan, of the town?” Mayor Gord Schermerhorn asked senior staff. “And could we do that ourselves?” Chief Administrative Officer Ray Callery said the

project could be completed by the end of council’s term and that senior management has already started taking steps toward developing a master plan. “It’s possible for this council; it’s not possible for 2016,” Callery said. “I think that staff and the community can work on a lot of it but at a certain point we will need somebody to mediate the process and make sure we’re moving forward and do some of the community consulting work.” Callery said council has already formed a Community Development Advisory Committee, which will have a lot of the preliminary work needed to move forward with

“I want to make it very clear: the Lions Club is against any plans to take any part of the Lions Park and convert it into a parking lot. It was never intended to be used for that purpose and it should not be used for that purpose now,” Russell said, reading from the Lions Club

letter. Russell said the Lions Club has proudly supported the park since the 1970s, which has greatly helped to improve the waterfront downtown. “The park has been enjoyed by many over the years and has been a pride for the Napanee Lions Club to complete this project for all to use,” Russell said.

efit. It was also noted that having a master plan, or vision, would be helpful for all future public meetings to allow the public to see where council sees the town moving forward, and when. “It’s certainly something the senior management team has talked about for quite some time,” Callery said. Much of the research and public meetings could be completed in 2016 but Callery said a number of large construction projects are planned for this year, which would make it difficult for a master plan to be completed before 2017. Deputy Mayor Marg Isbester said she supports a master plan and is not wor-

ried about it taking longer than a year to complete. “It has to be done, a master plan, and it has to be done well to co-ordinate with everything else that we need to do. If we jump the gun and botch it up, sometimes there’s no going back. If you leave visitors and residents with a bad taste, it’s hard to get them to come back again,” said Isbester. Other senior staff presented projects that needed upgrading, including the Town Hall steps and municipal sidewalks, but said they were hesitant to move forward on them without some sort of strategic plan in place to ensure they work is done efficiently.

a master plan. Additionally, the advisory committee has formed a subcommittee, which is identifying five suggested areas of focus for council to develop when it comes to strategic planning. “The subcommittee work that is being done is very helpful because it can identify some funding sources that may be available for us to plan ahead,” Callery said. “These are the initial phases of work that will come forward to pull together a master plan.” Town Hall, Market Square, road and sidewalk development, and the new proposed boat launch were some of the items council said a master plan could ben-

The letter identifies 10 questions and concerns the Lions Club has with the proposal, including why a second boat launch is needed, whether federal and provincial governments have been contacted regarding the disturbances of fish and wildlife along that shoreline, varying water levels in spring and fall, and why the Lions Club was not advised of the proposal. “The entire intent of the public meeting was to start to engage the public, solicit public opinion,” said Peter Dafoe, Greater Napanee director of utilities and public works. “I apologize for any confusion there may have been with the general public.” Mayor Gord Schermerhorn said he would extend public feedback on the boat launch, allowing public comments to be accepted until Feb. 1. Ward 5 Councillor Shaune Lucas moved that a second open house be held at the council chambers before the end of February, which council carried. “Given the current timeframe, the public meeting would have the exact same format as the public meeting

that was already held at the SPC,” said chief administrative officer Ray Callery. “It will just be allowing for additional comments and questions.” Schermerhorn addressed the negative comments council had received to date regarding the proposed boat launch, saying nothing has been decided yet. “We asked staff because there’s a problem down there. We’ve done some conceptual drawings of maybe a boat launch being moved or whatever. There was nothing in stone saying that’s what was going to happen. We wanted public input on what they thought might solve the problem or could correct the problem,” said Schermerhorn. “I’m concerned that maybe a lot of the general public doesn’t maybe have a firm grasp of what possibilities might exist,” Ward 2 councillor Max Kaiser added. He said there are roads and sidewalks to be upgraded and other projects that he thinks council should direct the town’s money toward before focusing on a boat launch proposal.

back to it later. Start small. As with any major goal, break it down into manageable tasks and assign deadlines to each. It could be as simple as writing one task down on a piece of paper. Allot one to two hours or whatever you have to spare to clean instead of an entire day. Clearing out areas can be overwhelming for a lot of people. If you finish one small project and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy with it, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to do it again. Resist the urge to purchase cool organization

Juno winner next up for February show in Tamworth

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

A Juno Award and two-time Canadian Folk Music Award winner will be taking the stage in the quaint village of Tamworth next month. Amelia Curran, a folk performer from eastern Canada, will be performing at the Tamworth Legion Feb. 13 as part of the Tamworth Erinsville Community Development Committee’s 2016 concert series. On top of the Canadian Folk Music and Juno Awards, Curran has won east coast singer of the year and folk album of the year, and placed 15th in an American songwriting competition. Curran said music was a natural fit for her — even though she didn’t particularly plan to become a musician, it was always the one thing that kept her grounded and that she just kept coming back to. “It was all pretty organic. I started busking, because I had to, and it just kind of rolled from there. I never set out to become a musician but it’s kind of the only skill I have,” she laughed. “It was bound to be.” She began experimenting with music as a child. Her grandmothers, who

Year. Curran’s Juno was received in 2010 for her second album: Hunter, Hunter, which was won in her hometown of St. John’s, Nfld. This album launched Curran’s reputation for songwriting excellence. Her next album, Spectators, was also nominated for a Juno Award and received numerous reviews, listing her on the Best of 2010 list across Canada. Tamworth’s performance will “primarily” feature music from They Promised You Mercy, but she will also “go back in time and play some of the old ones,” Curran said. “I’ve had an unusually long break right now and this will be one of our first shows coming back to it so I’m pretty excited,” said Curran. Curran will take the stage at the Tamworth Legion alongside three band members: Joshua Van Tassel www.ameliacurran.com Despite the fact that she’s not sure what exactly inspires her to write music, Amelia Curran has had no on drums, Devon Henderson on bass, and Joel Schwartz on trouble writing and performing inspiring music: she’s won a Juno and two Canadian Folk Music awards. guitar.

Raiders beat up on Jets in home-and-home sweep BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

modified version of rock, paper, scissors would best describe the recent fortunes of the Napanee Raiders and the Amherstview Jets. Basically the formula breaks down to this: the Napanee Raiders crush the Jets, the rest of the league cuts down the Raiders while the Jets cover everyone else. Even more simplified: the Raiders are 4-2-1 in their last seven games with three of those wins coming against the Jets. The Jets meanwhile are 5-3 in their last eight. Their latest meetings came in a home-and-home series last Sunday and Tuesday with the Raiders sweeping it by a combined score of 14-6. The most recent was a 6-3 triumph at the SPC. Aidan McFarland

and Justynn Steven had a pair of goals while Zach Knapp-Hermer and Tyler Romain had singles. Cam Parr earned the win, stopping 32 shots. Napanee outshot the Jets 47-35 on the night. On Sunday the Raiders potted seven unanswered goals to turn a 3-1 deficit after the first period into an 8-3 victory. Scoring was spread around as Jordan Cannons, Austin Boulard, Chad Caskenette, Nicolas Schuler, Romain, McFarland, Riley Steeves and Cullen Hinds all found the back of the net. Parr overcame a rocky first period to stop 36 on the night for the victory. The offensive explosion was a sight for sore eyes for the Raiders, who were held to just eight goals their previous four games combined. “We put up a lot of shots all year,” said Raiders head coach Mike Hartwick.

“Some games we were outshooting opponents two to one and we’d still lose. I think we’ve made better plays the last five periods. We’ve moved the puck when we had offensive chances.” Prior to the home-andhome sweep the Raiders were struggling, losing 3-2 in overtime to the Gananoque Islanders in Wednesday’s make up game and then barely squeaking by the last place Picton Pirates on Thursday with a 4-3 overtime road victory. Cannons had the game winner just over three minutes into the extra frame. With their sweep the Raiders have opened up a seven point cushion over the third place Jets (46-39) in the race for second place. Napanee, now 21-9-4 on the year, has six games remaining. The Jets, at 18-12-3, have seven left to play.

on White turned away everything the Holy Cross Crusaders could fire at him, including three shootout attempts, to lead the NDSS Golden Hawks to a crucial 1-0 victory Monday afternoon at the SPC. White’s sensational efforts were rewarded by Ryan Kirkpatrick in the shootout, who tucked the puck between the post and the Crusader goalie’s blocker side for the game’s only goal. “It was a good game,” said Hawks head coach Jeff Birchard. “The boys played really well, probably the best game we’ve played all year. Can’t ask for much more than that.” Both teams had their share of scoring opportunities throughout the game but neither team could find the back of a net. Napanee appeared to be in business when the Crusaders took a tripping penalty with 2:37 left in the game. Rather than organize a steady attack the Hawks were

Kirkpatrick made good on his. White then stopped three straight Crusader shooters to seal the win and hand Holy Cross their first defeat of the season. Already expecting a tough match heading into the game, the Hawks were also dealing with a short bench due to several suspensions. A couple of their key forwards were handed suspensions for fighting during Jan. 11’s game against the KCVI Blues. Many of the players who dropped their gloves in that game won’t be eligible to return until the KASSAA semifinals, should the team make it that far. With the win the Hawks are now 5-1 on the season, just one point back of Holy Cross who at 5-0-1, has one extra point by virtue of their overtime loss. Napanee is in second place in KASSAA standings, two points up on Frontenac who is 4-1 with a game in hand. The win also keeps NDSS undefeated since their win at the St. Pete’s Tournament earlier this month.

RAIDERS | Six games left CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19 Though they’ve had some struggles of late, the Raiders have compensated by beating up on the Jets when they had to in order to keep their second place lead safe. Tuesday’s game marked the final regular season meeting for these two rivals which Napanee won quite decidedly by a count of 5-1-2. That bodes well for the Raiders who will face the Jets in the opening round of the Empire B League Junior C playoffs next month. However come the post season, regular season records mean nothing. “They’re a good team and they can score a lot of goals,” Hartwick said of the Jets, noting that they’ll be a tough playoff opponent. The Port Hope Panthers continue to cruise to the top seed with a 27-4 record and 54 points with nine still left to play. The only thing

resembling a race down the stretch is the fourth place Islanders and the fifth place Campbellford Rebels. The 10-20-3 Islanders are clinging to the final playoff seed with 23 points, five more than the 8-23-1 Rebels. The Pirates sit last with 15 points at 7-23-1. With their playoff ticket already punched Hartwick says the team remains focused on shoring up every detail as they prepare for the playoffs. “Just making the right plays,” the coach says of what he’d like to see over the final half-dozen games. “We have a system with what we believe fundamentally as a team and that’s what I want to see. I don’t want to see them sway from that regardless of scores.” Napanee will head to Campbellford this Saturday and then return home Tuesday night to host the Panthers for a 7:30 p.m. puck drop.

Stars start off playoff runs on the right foot All NDMH clubs lead their series Beaver Sports

n Saturday night the Napanee Peewee AE Stars played a strong team game, skating to their second 5-2 victory in the series against the Ennismore Eagles. Braden Bannon opened the scoring with the only goal of the first. The second period saw the Stars outscore the Eagles 2-1 for a 3-1 lead after two periods. Scoring in the second period were Austin Catena with assists going to Scott Collard and Bannon. Also scoring was Collard (the eventual game winning goal) with Gavin Goodfellow and Ben Huyck assisting. The third period would ultimately see the Stars outscore the Eagles 2–1 again. Scoring was Bannon (with his second of the game) while Jake Reid and Ethan Martin drew the assists. Oronathye Green put an end to the scoring with an unassisted empty net goal with 40 seconds left in the game. Nathaniel Cinnamon played a strong game between the pipes to help his team earn the second win. On Sunday, with a chance to close out the series the Stars came out flat struggling to find the back of the net with the ease they had in the first two games. The Eagles jumped on the Stars scoring twice in the first five minutes. The boys would finally respond when Johnny Hearns scored with Bailey Cook-Martin

NDCC to host Continental Cup BY SANDY EASTLAKE On the Button

he OCA Regional Senior Men and Women event this weekend showed some terrific curling thanks to convenor Steve Eastlake with Gayle Johnson and Dave Travers, plus his very large team of volunteers. Many volunteers were required to handle the running of this OCA event with kitchen staff, bar staff, ice crews and logistic helpers – a big thanks to all of you. Those that helped will be added to the ‘Thank You Volunteer Board’ and in the acknowledgement section of NDCC’s website. Napanee didn’t have any local club teams in this event but teams from Quinte Curling Club won and are off to the provincials. Congratulations and good luck to Julie Jarvis, Sharon Leitch, Mary Parr, Patsy Mitchell and Lisa Grills as well as the team of Dave Collyer, Bryce Rowe, Ken McCullock and Bill Leitch. The other winners were from the Russell Curling Club, Bryan Cochrane and Rideau Curling Club, Sheryl Dobenko.

HAWKS | KASSAA to take two week pause for exam break CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19

“That whole atmosphere of being there and playing six extra games really turned everything around for us,” Birchard said of the team’s elevated play since the tournament win. “We’re on a bit of a high now and a bit of a roll, hopefully it continues.” Napanee will hope their hot streak doesn’t cool off during an extended break as the KASSAA league shuts down for the next couple of weeks due to exams. That means the Hawks won't play again until Feb. 9 when they travel to Kingston to take on Bayridge. That will mark their final match of the regular season before playoffs get underway on Feb. 16. Holy Cross meanwhile will face Frontenac in their final regular season game. A Hawks with a little help

from the Frontenacs would secure the top seed heading into the playoffs. NDSS’ girls teams continued their roll last Wednesday, defeating the Sydenham Golden Eagles 62 to improve to 5-1 on the season. They will wrap up the regular season against Frontenac this afternoon at the SPC starting at 3 p.m. They too will enter the exam break following that game and won’t return to the ice until Feb. 16, which will be the KASSAA quarter-finals. NDSS will enter the playoffs as the second seed with the 6-0 Holy Cross Crusaders entering as the top team. Though they both have one game remaining, the Hawks won’t be able to chase down the Crusaders. Should they finish with identical 6-1 records, the Crusaders would earn the top spot by virtue of their 1-0 head-to-

Hawks 61-20, dropping their record to 1-6. The senior team fared no better, losing 56-35 to fall to 2-4. Both clubs were scheduled to travel to QECVI last night in their final game before the exam break. They’ll return to the court Feb. 9.

NDCC’s Continental Cup will go this Saturday, which is hosted by Allan Wrigglesworth and Doug Pennell. It has a full slate of 20 male and 20 female curlers divided into two teams – may the winner take all. Hospice is holding their annual Bonspiel on Jan. 30.

Raiders ‘Pink’ fundraiser nets $3,000 BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Pink sweaters generated plenty of green for the Lennox and Addington County General Hospital’s chemo ward during the Napanee Raiders’ first ever Pink-in-the-Rink event. A total of $3,000 was raised during the local Junior C hockey team’s fundraising game, which was held on Dec. 15. The team wore pink sweaters that night, which were auctioned off after the game. Cancer survivors were also on hand for the game to drop the puck for the ceremonial opening face-off. The official presentation of the cheque was made just before Tuesday night’s game, with Raider assistant captains Jordan Cannons and Zach Knapp-Hermer Adam Prudhomme-Staff handing the cheque to LACGH Foundation chair Raider assistant captains (far left) Zach Knapp-Hermer and (far right) Jordan Robert Paul at centre ice.

Pending roadwork means new loading zone BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

In preparation for next year’s construction on Dundas Street, a new loading and unloading zone for trucks is being developed on John Street, which will also provide a safe drop off and pick up location for downtown shoppers. Rob Hendrick, chair of the Napanee Business Improvement Area, gave a presentation to Greater Napanee council on Jan. 12 explaining the difficulty many trucks face when making deliveries downtown, especially since many trucks cannot fit through the narrow alleyways. He said these problems would only increase next year when the town begins major upgrades to the town’s water and sewer services along Dundas. “We came up with an idea to move the bus loading and unloading from lower John Street up beside Wallace’s Drug Store. What our proposal is, is to take three parking spots – so we’ll lose one, because there’s two at

the current bus stop – and turn that into a 15-minute loading and unloading (zone),” said Hendrick. The loading and unloading station would also be used by Deseronto Transit and for quick and safe dropoff and pick-up for downtown shoppers and residents. Council noted that the spots should also be available for 15-minute handicapped parking. “We went and talked to Wallace’s about moving those three spaces and they didn’t have an issue with it. We tried to talk to everybody that would be directly involved,” said Hendrick. Hendrick said the BIA would evaluate how the loading and unloading location was working before deciding whether it should become a permanent downtown fixture or a new loading and unloading location should be identified when Dundas is being redeveloped. “It may turn out to be something that is temporary, but good thinking before the big dig,” said Deputy Mayor Marg Isbester.

OFA continues work on key issues in 2016

By Don McCabe, President, Ontario Federation of Agriculture January 8, 2016 This year marks a significant milestone for the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA). For 80 years, OFA has been advocating on the issues and concerns of Ontario’s farmers. Keeping OFA members, who are the majority of Ontario’s farm families and the provincial rural base, at the forefront of consideration of policy discussions and decisions at the various government levels is the proud task of the OFA and its county federations. The business of farming has certainly changed over the years, but many of the issues remain the same. Looking back through OFA’s archives and historical records there are a few concerns that the organization continues to deal with through the decades. Farm property taxation and assessment, energy rates and reliability, land use planning and farmland preservation have been on OFA’s advocacy agenda over the years and remain in high priority. OFA has always kept a close eye on the farm assessment and appeals process to make sure it’s fair. This year marks another farm assessment year for Ontario farms. OFA is taking the results of a recent member survey on the farm property

assessment appeals process to government to ensure the process is effective. Farm businesses are subject to a variety of taxes. OFA continues to be involved in any policy discussions related to farmland and farm business taxation, ensuring the voice of the farm business tax payer are heard and receive services to taxes paid. Energy needs and reliability has grown tremendously over the decades. Today, Ontario farmers are dealing with one of the highest electricity rates in North America. These expenses are driving up the cost of doing business, making it harder for Ontario farmers and farm processors to compete on a national and international scale. OFA will continue working with the government this year to secure a competitive industrial/farm electricity rate. Natural gas and access to this lower cost energy source is also on OFA’s list of energy issues. OFA believes natural gas expansion to farms and rural Ontario communities should be our provincial and federal government’s first priority when it comes to investing in infrastructure in rural Ontario. Natural gas will boost business opportunities by significantly lowering energy costs, and OFA continues to push for better infrastructure across rural Ontario. Natural gas infrastructure is an investment for the future as powering the farm fleet could be possible with biogas supplied from farms as a renewable source. Farmland preservation is always a top priority. The OFA position on this important resource hasn’t changed over the years – farmland preservation is critical. OFA will be participating in consultations this year, reviewing the recently released land use planning recommendations for the Greater Golden Horseshoe area and continue advocating for the overall preservation of Ontario’s farmland. Society demands greater accountability from farmers. From 2015, the concepts and issues associated with sustainability, social license, algal blooms due to agriculture phosphorous use, greenhouse gas emissions, declining biodiversity and others will need to defined and addressed in 2016 with cohesive policy. Ontario farmers are the stewards of the land, who have to be able to integrate all of society’s needs, into a farming business returning profitability not just for the farmer doing it, but supporting the number one industry in Ontario with environmental integrity and societal value. In 80 years of advocacy, OFA has tackled countless issues impacting Ontario farmers, advocating to all three levels of government, policy makers and related industries. We are proud to be the largest and longest serving farm organization in Canada. OFA is proud to serve our members in the number one industry of the province.

MEMORIAMS

OLIVER - In loving memory of Mildred who passed away January 22, 2012. Although we smile and make no fuss No one misses you more than us And when old times we do recall It’s then we miss you most of all, For those we loved don’t go away They walk beside us everyday, Unseen, unheard, but always near With memories to treasure year after year. Always remembered by sisters 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 Calum, Alexandra, Reba, Amy, Mike and Mischa.

CARDS OF THANKS

Following the loss of our cherished mother Marion Hunt, we thank all who called, donated food, sent cards and online condolences, offered up Masses, donated to charities in Mother’s name, attended the services and sent flowers. Special thanks to Dr. Joanna McDonald who, over the years and in our mother’s final hours, eased both her pain and ours. Appreciation goes to Father Charles McDermott for officiating at Mother’s Funeral Mass and for being able to bring to life her spiritual faith. Thanks to Anne Kerr, soloist and Michelle Pyatt, organist for contributing to the Mass. Mother’s dedication to St. Anthony’s CWL was rewarded with the Rosary being recited by the CWL members on her final entrance into St. Anthony’s Church. They also provided a lovely luncheon following the funeral services. A heartfelt thank you to the staff of Wartman Funeral Home. Special mention to Jason Smith who guided us effortlessly with his professional and friendly manner. Blessings to all. Family of Rose “Marion” Hunt.

CECIL STACEY

In loving memory of Cecil Stacey who left us January 21, 2010

So many years, so many tears My eyes have cried for you As time moves on, I feel your nudge You want me instead, to look to our memories Your smile, your laughter and Those times when I found the things you bought You saying “I’ve had that forever”. And I can still hear you telling folks “Cost me a Fortune” when I would spend. You are my husband, kind, gentle and true, These are the memories I have of you. We’re not truly apart, until I take my final breath You’ll be living in my heart. My Forever Love.

Is buying a home in the winter a good idea?

Consider this: It’s a cold winter day and you’ve just sat down with a mortgage professional to figure out how much house you can afford. You’ve determined that your finances are in order and you’re ready to start looking for a home. You’ve heard that spring is the best season for buying and selling real estate. Does that mean you’ll need to put your search on hold until the tulips start to bloom? “If you’ve worked out what

you can afford and you’re ready for the home buying process, then shopping for real estate can happen at any time of year,” says Pat Verge, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “While spring and fall are busier times for real estate sales, a serious home buyer should be looking out for potential homes as long as they’re ready to make a purchase. It can sometimes take many months to find the right property.”

If you are planning to shop for real estate during the winter, these are a few things to bear in mind: Supply: There may be fewer homes to choose from, but of the homes available for sale you may have less competition to deal with when making an offer. Weather: The homes you visit may already be covered with snow which may hide exterior defects; ask to see photographs of the home taken earlier in the year and rely on a home inspector to tell you about any potential faults. Make time: The process for buying a home and the paperwork that follows is time consuming. Try to keep your other priorities organized so that you are ready to act if a home that you are interested in comes up.

EFFICIENT AND COMFORTABLE

Ranch styling comes to life in this efficient-tobuild design. Back-to-back plumbing is an efficient design detail. The entry opens to a spacious living room and, straight back, the wide family room with a beamed ceiling. A snack-bar pass-through to the kitchen makes meal timeseasy. There is also a nook to accommodate a dinette set. Three bedrooms include the master suite with its

private bath. Do you prefer a front-facing garage, or a crawlspace foundation instead of a basement? No problem — the choices are yours to make. Alternate Layout
