Town of Greater Napanee residents will have their chance to weigh in on possible municipal election system changes at a pair of public meetings, set for Feb. 21 at Greater Napanee Town Hall and on March 23 at South Fredericksburgh Community Hall. Both public meetings are set to run from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. On the table for discussion are some potentially significant alterations to the current voting system. Ranked ballots, elimination of the ward system, the status quo and how the municipality would proceed with any change will all be covered. Though council ultimately went with the meeting date suggestions of Greater Napanee clerk Susan Beckel, they did discuss a pair of alternative dates as a way to best optimize attendance.

A Deseronto man and two youths were arrested after a brazen break-and-enter last Friday At 10:35 p.m., officers with the Napanee OPP detachment responded to a report of a robbery at an apartment on Thomas Street in Deseronto. The victim told police that three males wearing a disguise forced their way into his apartment while he and his girlfriend were home and stole personal items from the residence. Through investigation police identified three suspects who were arrested in Deseronto a short time later. The three suspects were identified as a 20-year-old male from Deseronto and two youths — a 16-year-old male and a 17-year-old male who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The 20-year-old was charged with break and enter, robbery with violence

Vandals put big dent in car wash business

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Vandals have done a number on the Napanee Esso car wash, causing upwards of $18,000 in damage while putting several machines out of order. According to Esso manager John Ovens, thieves have been breaking into the coin box of the car wash bays sporadically over the last three months. What started as a form of pick-pocketing — which saw the thieves use magnets on a string to pull out loonies and toonies — has evolved into a smashand-grab. Once the store began reinforcing the machines, the culprits have taken to smashing the boxes altogether to collect the money, leaving the machines unusable. “All the bays are damaged, five of them have to be totally re-fixed,” said Ovens. “Right now, all five bays are down because of the damage. There are six bays.” The last bay he says is barely hanging on as it’s clear someone had been trying to pry it open as well. Ovens says police have been notified but as yet have no leads. He says before the business repairs the boxes, they will first install a security camera system. Ovens says the Napanee OPP agreed to increase their monitoring of the area and

Council to set ‘aggressive’ development charge rates Municipality hopes to spur building boost BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

With its current development charges bylaw set to expire on Feb. 14, Greater Napanee council has voted to set an aggressive rate for the next five years. That was the recommendation from Bob Clark of Clark Development Corporation. He suggested that, in order to attract new business, council should set a development rate of $6,396.60 for a residential construction and one of $21.34 per square mile for non-residential. That would put Greater Napanee right around the middle of the pack of their neighbouring municipalities and would also be about half of what Clark says would be a justified amount for the town to charge.

Thieves hoping to get into coin boxes at the Esso car wash in Napanee caused $18,000 in damage. will be on the lookout for suspicious behaviour in the area. Not only is the gas station on the hook for the repairs, but it’s also losing business. Ovens says they could typically pull in $500 a week when all six bays are in operation. “Right now’s a busy

time,” said Ovens. “We’ve got to tell them to go over to the other car wash or we can sell them a touch-less car wash. A lot of people are complaining saying, ‘Why’s it broken?’ It’s not my fault.” Anyone with information on the vandalism can contact Crime Stoppers or the Napanee OPP.

“I think that over the next three or four years this municipality needs to be aggressive and fill some holes that we have here,” commented Ward 5 councillor Shaune Lucas. “We have good infrastructure and good water.” Council agreed and voted that Clark put together a development charge by-law that it could vote on at the Feb. 14 regular meeting. Council was adamant that the town have a competitive rate like that of their closest neighbour, Loyalist Township. Loyalist has a residential rate of $4,913 and a non-residential range of $18.13 to $26.47. Council would also have the option of setting a different rate for each of the next five years, perhaps starting lower in an effort to attract more businesses in the next few of years.

Roots artist Ken Yates next up for Starstop series BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

Ken Yates will bring his rootsy, rustic sound to the next show in the Napanee Starstop concert series on Feb. 9. Yates’ Napanee performance at Ellena’s Café comes a few months after the release of his latest album, Huntsville. “It’s been good so far,” Yates says of Huntsville, his second full-length album. “It seems to be well-received, and I’ve been hearing a lot of good feedback. I’ve been getting some play on CBC and other radio stations around the country and in the U.S. I’m pretty happy with it.” With Huntsville, Yates thinks he’s found his sound. “I feel like my first album, I was still kind of learning how to make an album and I feel like we got a bit carried away with putting a lot of different sounds and things on it. Looking back on it, it’s not quite an accurate representation of how I sound and where I’m at now. I think with Huntsville, we didn’t get too carried away with it. We didn’t go too crazy with sounds. I think it’s just a good representation of where I’m at as an artist and how I sound,” he said. The London, ON native counted on producer Jim Bryson — who has also worked with the Weakerthans, Kathleen Edwards and Oh Susanna — to help him

hit the right note. “He brought a lot of his own sound to the table, because he played a lot of instruments on the album — that was what I was looking for when I started working with him, having his input on the album,” he said. “I think it came out with a little bit more of a ‘rootsier’ vibe, which is what I was looking for. I just kind of wanted for it to be a simple representation of how I sound and who I am.” For the Napanee show, Bryson will be performing solo — something which should fit nicely with the venue. “It’ll be pretty stripped down,” he said. “Since it’s sort of a ‘house concert’ style kind of show, it’ll be very intimate and I’ll be mostly trying to just engage with people, and in-between songs, share stories and interact with people. That’s why these types of show are fun — you get to have that really close interaction with the audience and have them participate at a certain level.” After the Napanee show, Yates will continue to be busy touring in both Canada and the U.S. He’s already started writing songs for his third album, and is considering releasing a few of the songs that didn’t make it onto Huntsville as part of an acoustic EP. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and available at www.starstop.ca/kenyates.

Ken Yates says he’s hoping to provide an intimate and interactive show when he performs in Napanee next month.

Climate change file gets trickier Those concerned about carbon emissions and climate change couldn’t have been happy with the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States last November. On Tuesday — only a matter of a few days after Trump’s inauguration — those people found that their fears were justified as Trump took his first steps to scale back U.S. efforts to reduce carbon emissions. This, of course, puts Canada — and the Justin Trudeau-led Liberal government — in a challenging spot. The Trudeau government has identified climate change as a top priority, and has taken steps to ensure that the provinces each take steps to implement a price on carbon. However, as we watch our American neighbours all but turn their backs on the effort, it begs the question: why should we even bother? Our carbon emissions are dwarfed by those of the U.S. It’s safe to assume that, as we try to reduce emissions, American carbon emissions will presumably increase, undoubtedly cancelling out (and more) whatever Canada is able to accomplish. Couple this, too, with the fact that Trump has also done what he can to revive the controversial Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to the U.S., something which former president Barack Obama had cancelled several months ago. This is, of course, great news for the hurting Canadian oil patch, which is only now starting to recover from the collapse of oil prices a few years ago. For those who’d like to see the carbon trapped in the oil sands stay where it is, this is hardly encouraging news, however. Among those is the NDP, who put Trudeau in a political jam by demanding that he say ‘no’ to Keystone just as Trump is breathing new life into it. It’s doubtful that Trudeau will acquiesce to that demand — as committed as the Liberals say they are about climate change, the Liberals recognize the economic driver that is the oil sands. Still, saying ‘yes’ to Keystone, and being a willing partner to introducing more carbon emissions, doesn’t exactly speak well to the government’s commitment to the climate change fight. Ultimately, Trudeau has a choice: does he continue to try to ‘fight the good fight’ against climate change, despite reversals south of the border, or does change direction in light of dramatic recent events? Perhaps there is a happy medium. However, it seems like the political dance involved in managing the climate change file isn’t going to get any easier any time soon.

Letter to the Editor

Premier must act on rural schools I am writing this today as a Liberal supporter, as parent to three children that attend a small rural school in Ontario under threat of closure and as a home day care provider. I am asking Premier Kathleen Wynne to please pay attention to another big issue that is concerning Ontario citizens. Hydro rates are a great concern for all Ontarians, I applaud our premier for taking time to listen, to meet and discuss this issue and to implement a beginning strategy to lower rates. However, destruction of our education system by closing schools, destroying communities in the process, is a

huge issue that is also concerning Ontario citizens and this needs to be addressed now. As I stated above, our school, Selby Public School, is under threat of closure. We are just one of many schools in the same situation throughout Ontario. My children are just three of 236 who are facing the prospect of being on a bus before 7 a.m. to begin their classes at a school that already has over five hundred children enrolled. Selby school is keeping young families in our community, and is the draw, encouraging more families to move into this area. If the

Selby school closes, we will see some of these families move away, other families will choose to move elsewhere, to an area with a school close by and I face the possibility of losing my job as a home day care provider. In December 2008, our community went through its first Pupil Accommodation Review, and three schools were recommended for closure: Westdale, H. H. Langford and Sandhurst. The committee was formed and followed all the Limestone District School Board’s instructions and came up

Staff Picks: Speak Jennifer Robinson of the Amherstview Branch recently read Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson as part of her book club’s January theme: tough topics for teens. “American writer Laurie Halse Anderson has won many prizes for her work in historical fiction, young adult fiction, and picture books,” says Jennifer. “Speak, her best-known YA novel, has won almost a dozen awards and has been made into a movie for its gritty portrayal of a teen’s recovery from rape.” Jennifer explains, “Speak tells the story of Melinda, a 13-year-old high school junior, who Coles becomes selectively mute after a sexual assault. Common among survivors, Melinda does not initially share that she was raped. She is further victimized through being ostracized by her peers, criticized by her parents and punished by some school staff as her near silence is seen as ‘attention getting’ behaviour. In the aftermath of rape, Melinda sinks into depression. Frozen in pain, she feels helpless and isolated. As a confessional narrative, Melinda’s recovery from trauma shares elements common to a

problem novel: readers identify with her suffering and growth. In broad terms, Speak also serves as a comingof-age and coming-out story for its message of understanding and empowerment. Written as a diary, the choppy sentences, blank spaces, and breaks in time represent her disjointed experience of ‘self-estrangement’ and ‘shattered identity’ in coming to terms with sexual trauma. “Speak has also been described as a revisionist fairy tale,” adds Jennifer. “First, it inverts the ideal high school experience on its head. Unpredictable plot twists reveal the Notes treacherous waters of junior high. Second, malevolent characters like a ‘witchy’ mother, ‘shapeshifting’ friends, and ‘beastly’ rapist underscore the destructive power of all-too human traits. Lastly, Melinda’s transformation as she confronts a dark world populated by mostly hostile characters is an act of empowerment. She learns to care for herself and the moral of the story situates the blame where it belongs, with the rapist’s actions and judgmental attitude of uninformed people.”

with a solution that was agreed upon by the PARC as well as the community at large; two schools, one in the urban part of our town, one in the rural area of town. The Limestone Board preferred one school to be built in the south end of town on municipal services. In the end, senior staff overruled the decision of the PARC, the three schools closed and one school, Southview, was built in the South end of town on municipal services. I wish I could say that this was an uncommon thing, for a school board to overrule its own PAR committee, but that would be untrue. If you take a look at any pupil accommodation review, in any given town across Ontario, you will see the exact same thing: school INVASIVE SPECIES PRESENTATION ‘Bad Guys - Invasive Species and Good Guys’ Species at Risk presentation.

boards consistently overruling the decision made by its own PARC. Premier Wynne and Ms. Hunter have constantly reiterated that the guidelines in the review process are set to protect the best interests of the students, to represent the communities, that school boards are in the best position to determine what is best for the community — but these guidelines are obviously flawed. School boards are not making decisions in the best interests of students, but rather in the financial interests of the school board. School boards are in a very difficult situation, facing funding shortfalls and a mandate, set out by the Ontario government, to make sure each and every school operates at 100 per cent capacity to receive adequate funding. Selby school has a very

healthy student enrolment, the highest enrolment of all our rural schools, Selby placed second within the entire Limestone board for EQAO testing, the students are happy and thriving here, so why is Selby being considered for closure and students to be bused into a school with a current enrolment over 500, and a very dismal EQAO testing score? I am asking Premier Wynne and Minister Hunter, on behalf of my family and all the other families throughout Ontario that are facing a similar situation with their schools, to please put a moratorium on school closures now, find a proper funding method for our school boards and schools. I have been a Liberal supporter always, but as it stands now, if there is not an immediate moratorium on

school closures, I cannot support a Liberal government in the next provincial election and I know I am not alone in this decision. Informal, predetermined responses regarding school closures from our premier and education minister will not suffice any longer, we are calling for action, now. Continuing to ignore this issue, to dismiss our concerns and to reply with form letters, will only guarantee a Liberal defeat in 2018. My greatest fear is that 10, 15 or even 20 years from now, our government will realize they have made a terrible mistake with school closures and our children, grandchildren will be the ones who have paid for this colossal mistake.

■ An elevation located just west of Enterprise was the scene of considerable activity. Bell Telephone and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation were partnering to erect a new microwave tower on Haine’s Hill, which also happened to be the highest elevation point in southern Lennox and Addington. It would be one relay point connecting Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. The system would carry television programs and also provide capacity for carrying hundreds of additional long-distance calls between the three major cities. The tower would be about 250 feet tall; the hill itself had an elevation of 600 feet. ■ A fire completely destroyed a home in Bath, and residents of the village were rallying to help the family. The fire was believed to have started on the kitchen stove before quickly spreading. A mother and two children who lived in the home had gone shopping when the fire started; a passing motorist alerted emergency crews. A fund to support the family was quickly started, and a number of items were donated to help get the family back on its feet.

35 Years Ago January 27, 1982 ■ Support for a new beef marketing board was being expressed. Dan Pope, the head of a beef cattle action group, was the guest speaker at the L&A Cattlemen’s Association annual meeting. There, he said that a supply management marketing board would help financially troubled Canadian beef farmers. Pope’s new group was about one year old, and had been formed by Ontario Cattlemen’s Association directors who were dissatisfied with how the present system was operating. ■ New Lennox and Addington County Warden L. Duane Williams said that turmoil happening at the Kingston, Frontenac, L&A Health Unit could prompt L&A County to look at establishing its own county-run health unit. Williams, the reeve of Camden Township, expressed confidence in the two L&A appointees to the health unit, county councillors Earl Smith and Grant Clark, to be able to help get the organization back on the right footing. He also suggested that negative publicity stemming from the health unit’s woes hadn’t helped the situation.

Beating the winter blues The dead of winter is behind us now. If you’re like me, you can’t wait for spring. This past week’s glimpse of grass and mild weather made me believe spring is around the corner. There are ways you can beat the winter blues. There is no denying that colour affects our mood. Many restaurants choose reds to energize customers while stimulating the appetite. When we think of the interiors in hospitals with white floors and walls, it all seems a bit stark — reminiscent of our winter’s white landscape, a lonely, dreary feeling especially against the grey skies. Bring some bold, bright colours indoors. A cheerful orange packs a punch and combines well with other bright colours such as blues and greens. A small purchase of a brightly coloured accessory and including it in your interior has the power to transform a room and serve as a shiny reminder that brighter days are ahead. A great way to brighten your home is to literally let more light in. Try moving everything out of the way of windows to make sure nothing blocks the sunlight.

Also, get rid of blinds that homes are dry and stale. don’t let enough sunlight in, Plants can help purify the even if they are open. air.

make a home darker and less comfortable in the winter. Store your stuff elsewhere, or clear them out completely for some peace of mind. Clearing your home can actually clear your mind due to the strong links between mess and stress. Try to make it so everything in your home is completely essential — meaning every room in the house seems bigger, more spacious and more comfortable. These are just a few simple tips to brighten these long, winter days gazing at the white landscape wondering when the first signs of spring are going to show up. Take note that January is coming to an end, and not to long until spring and the sun is at our doorstep.

WARDS | Holding meetings sooner CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “There’s a large percentage of our population that is down in Florida right now,” said councillor Mike Schenk. “They’re all over the south. In March no one’s going to be around, same with February.”

Schenk moved that they move the date to either May or June. Council opted to hold those meetings sooner — if council were to adopt any changes for the next election, the by-law must be in place by Jan. 1, 2018. “I think waiting could be

a mistake,” said councillor Carol Harvey. “I think a lot of people if they go south they know people here and can get word to them and come out the meeting and say ‘yea’ or ‘nay’. I think we should select the date that staff has recommended.”

Notice of Public Information Centre for the Reconstruction of Dundas Street from Centre Street to Robinson Street The County of Lennox and Addington and the Town of Greater Napanee propose to reconstruct Dundas Street from Centre Street to Robinson Street in 2017. The proposed work includes replacement of Sanitary Sewers, Watermains, Storm Sewers, reinstatement of the Roadway Surface and Sidewalks. Submitted

The Western Swing Authority brings its toe-tapping sound to Tamworth next month as part of the TECDC concert series.

Swingin’ country comes to Tamworth show The Western Swing Authority rolls in on Feb. 11 BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

Members of the Western Swing Authority want their audiences to have a good time — and if that’s the case, they’re playing the right kind of music to achieve that goal. “If everybody has as much fun in the audience as we do playing the show, then we’re going to have a great night. We always have a blast,” says Shane Guse, who plays fiddle and vocals for the band. The seven-piece Western Swing Authority is the next act in the TamworthErinsville Community Development Committee’s concert series. They take to the stage at the Tamworth Legion on Feb. 11. Although the band has only been together for about seven years, its individual members bring plenty of experience to the table. “We’re all musicians and we’ve worked in the industry for many, many years — all of us, individually, have had lots of different proj-

ects, and some of us on some pretty notable ones,” says Guse. “Our steel guitar player (Ed ‘Pee Wee Charles’ Ringwald), he toured for years with Gordon Lightfoot,1 and Stacey Lee Guse (vocals) was a member of Lace. There were lots of different things going on there and it all came together to start playing this kind of music, because we love doing it.” Three full albums later, critics seem to be loving what they’re doing. The band and some of its individual members have won or been nominated for multiple industry awards. Most recently, The Western Swing Authority was nominated for roots artist of the year and group of the year at the Canadian Country Music Awards, while Ringwald won for best steel guitarist and Guse won for fiddle player of the year. The band’s ‘retro’ brand of music allows those talented musicians to shine. “Western swing originally came out in the late 1930s and early 1940s, but people have been playing it ever

since,” he said. “But, I think the neat thing about this kind of music is that it incorporates a lot of different styles. It’s really a fusion of country music and swing, jazz and blues, all sort of mashed together.” It’s also a safe bet the music will put a smile on your face and get your toes tapping. “It’s a happy kind of music,” said Guse. “I think (the audience) can expect some upbeat music that going to make you want to keep moving, and we’re going to see some great musicianship from everybody in the band… We’re just going to have a lot of fun. We have a great time.” Guse said the band is currently working on a follow-up to their latest fulllength album, Now Playing, along with a full-length Christmas album. “We’ve got a lot of writing and recording over the next year,” he says. Tickets are $35 each and available at BON ECO, Stone Mills Family Market, River Bakery and Café and Marie’s Place (in Napanee), or by calling 613-379-2808.

A Public Information Centre regarding this project has been scheduled on Thursday, February 2, 2017 from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. The Public Information Centre will be a drop-in format where plans of the proposed reconstruction will be on display. County and Town staff and the Consultant will be present to answer any questions.

Resources down the drain Late in January is not exactly the height of the gardening season, but for this: it is the best time of year to dream about the gardening season ahead of you. It seems that many of us urban dwellers have been dreaming about where to park the car. As a result, a record number of Canadians are exploring the option of paving over the front yard to make room for our personal transportation, without a lot of thought given to the bigger picture. Many municipalities have by-laws with detailed rules for creating a front yard parking pad. It can be a long process and very few home-owners are successful in gaining a permit to pave over their front yard. In Great Britain, a study indicates that ripping out the garden in favour of paving and other hard surfaces is wreaking havoc on their storm water sewer system. Lauriane Suyin Chalmin-Pui, PhD student, Landscape Department,

University of Sheffield, has created a report that indicates that there are 5 million front gardens in the U.K. with no plants growing in them (one in three) and 4.5 million are paved over (one in four ). While no statistics are available about the Canadian urban experience in this regard, all you must do is drive down any residential street in a major Canadian city and you will see for yourself that this is not a problem unique to the U.K. The U.K. has created a formal response to this with a program sponsored by the Royal Horticultural Society called ‘Greening Grey Britain’ and I think it is incredibly smart. What problem? When we pave over our front yard, we impact on the greater environment: Creating a heat island. When vegetation is lost on a street and replaced with hard surfaces, they absorb heat in the day and release it

at night, making it hotter. Remove a permeable green Air conditioners work hard- surface and replace it with er and are used more often. asphalt and the results can Flooding.

the growth of grass on a parking surface. Yes, it is possible to park a car on a lawn! Look for honey-comb plastic cells, much like the matrix pavers described above but with larger holes. Sow grass seed directly into the cells and water as you would a normal lawn. The grass will die where the tires of your car frequently drive over it but will thrive elsewhere. In any case, rainwater will flow through it. Brick pavers. Ask your landscape contractor or visit a local building supply outlet to look over various options of pavers that allow water to run through, without creating a solid, impermeable surface. If you have decided that you want to apply for a permit to park a car at the front of your house, you can minimize the impact by using: Vertical growth. Consider planting hedges and vines in your front yard to reduce the negative effects of hard surfaces. They are green, produce oxygen and can pro-

vide nesting places for birds. Some flowering vines are quite colourful. Containers. Consider the many options to plant in cramped and small spaces using containers. Flowering plants, evergreens and even vegetables can thrive at your front door or next to a wall. Perhaps with some planning and consideration for the environment and pollinating neighbours, a healthy compromise can be struck between parking the car and enjoying a cool, green front yard.

Raiders shock Panthers with win and tie Napanee snaps 16-game losing streak against Port Hope

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Jr. Hawks b-ball team clinches playoff berth Hawks aiming for fifth seed BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

fter ceding the first five points of Thursday's game to the visiting Granite Ridge Gryphons, the NDSS Golden Hawks junior boys basketball team rebounded in a big way to roll to a 56-21 victory. Napanee quickly erased the 5-0 hole, holding Granite Ridge scoreless for a seven minute span and built an 11-5 lead at the first break. They pushed it to 2910 at the half and never looked back, more than doubling their opponent's final output. “It was nice getting everyone in that game,” said

Hawks coach Jamie PaddleGrant. “We actually started with some players that don’t normally get to play on the floor and I thought they did great right off the bat,” he continued Colby Webb led the way with 20 points with Lucas Savoie posting 19. Marshall McFarland had eight. Ben McFarland had the Hawks’ only successful three point shot of the game. NDSS’ coaching staff saw an opportunity to utilize its bench a bit more as the Gryphons entered the game winless on the season and now drop to 0-7. With the win the Hawks push their record to an even 4-4 on the season as they enter the exam break. That assures them of a playoff berth.

Considering they were losers of three of their last four, struggling to put the puck in the net and staring down a home-and-home against the powerhouse Port Hope Panthers, everything seemed to suggest the Napanee Raiders were due for a rough weekend. The Raiders must not have read that script however, instead stunning the Panthers with a 7-3 victory on Friday night followed up with a 4-4 draw in Port Hope on Saturday. Friday’s loss was just the second one the Panthers have suffered in 33 games this year. “I think belief was the biggest difference,” Raiders head coach Mike Hartwick said of his team, which hadn’t beaten the Panthers since Sept. 22, 2015, a span 16 meetings. Friday’s night started out looking all too familiar as Brad Bollert got the Panthers on the board just over a minute into the game. Where the Raiders may have fallen back on their heels in previous games, they instead roared back as Brodie Maracle notched the tying goal just 14 seconds after Bollert’s. Griffen Conger and Tyler Ignazzitto each tacked on goals to give the Raiders a 3-1 edge after the first, a lead they’d never relinquish. Port Hope did make it interesting in the second, scoring two goals, sandwiched around one from Napanee’s Cullen Hinds. Clinging to the 4-3 lead after the second, the Raiders put the game away with three unanswered

Adam Prudhomme-Staff

Napanee’s Riley Steeves celebrates next to a sprawled out Eric Jackson after picking up an assist. goals, two from Justynn Steven and one from Austin Boulard. The seven goals was the most allowed by the Panthers all season and a huge jump from the 2.03 GAA they’ve averaged all season. Jeremy Wasson earned the win, stopping 35 Panther shots. Panthers goalie Sheldon Calbury started the game, but was chased after allowing three goals on eight shots. He was relieved by Eric Jackson, who took the loss after allowing four on 19. “I thought Was played good between the pipes and guys on the back end battled hard and there was some guys up front that had strong games,” said Hartwick. “I think the belief in the team and playing for each other was a good feeling to have on the bench.”

Jackson and Wasson squared off against each other the next night in Port Hope. After a scoreless first, the Panthers erupted with three goals in the second, offset by one from Steven. In the third it was the Raiders’ turn for an offensive explosion as Hinds, Conger and Tim Morton each had a goal to take a brief 4-3 lead. The Panthers tied the game with just a minute and a half remaining. A five minute four-on-four overtime solved nothing, forcing the two sides to settle for one point each. While Napanee came close to pulling off the win, the tie marked the first time a visiting team had earned a point in Port Hope’s Jack Burger Sports Complex in 17 games this season. “They’ve been a tough team for us, there’s no ques-

tion about that,” Hartwick said following Friday’s win. “Nice to come out on top but it’s a win, it really is just two points (for Friday’s win.) They’re going to come hard at us the next game.” The loss and tie means little to the Panthers in the grand scheme of things, dropping them to 30-2-1 on the season, still a lock to finish first. As sparkling as the Panthers’ overall numbers are however, they are winless in three straight after starting the year 30-0. The three points will go along way to helping the Raiders’ cause as they make a push for a second place finish. Now at 19-12-1 on the year, the Raiders are two points back of the 2015-1 Picton Pirates.

This past weekend the TI Flooring Novice Stars travelled to St. Clair Shores Michigan to compete in the International Silver Stick Championships, reaching the finals before falling 1-0 to Hamilton. They began their tournament play on Friday opening with a 2-0 win vs the Strathroy Junior Rockets. Friday afternoon they faced the Barrie Colts and once again dominated with a score of 4-3. Saturday afternoon the Centre Wellington Fusion handed the Stars their first loss of the tournament, 3-1. This created a tight three way tie of 2-1 in the Stars’ pool. The Stars ended up in second place, advancing to the semifinals. Sunday morning the Stars met the Woolrich Wildcats. The game was a back and forth battle, but with 3:19 remaining, Matthew Airhart scored the go ahead goal, giving the Stars the lead, 4-3. Napanee then faced the Hamilton Huskies in the finals. Hamilton scored at 5:42 in the first period, in what would turn out to be the lone goal either side would score. The game was a close battle of end-toend play. The Stars weren’t able to match the Hamilton goal and ended up finalists with a 1-0 score. Goalie Callum Moore was named MVP of the final game. “To be a BB centre from Napanee, playing in an International A tournament, our boys and one girl were true ambassadors to the sport on and off the ice,” said Stars coach Bob

Colby Webb is a member of the NDSS Golden Hawks junior boys basketball team. On Thursday he led the team in scoring, helping them to a victory over the Granite Ridge Gryphons. He figures to be an important part of the team’s offense as they make a push for the KASSAA playoffs.

This group of kids made their parents, grandparents, the town of Napanee, Napanee Minor Hockey and especially the coaching staff very proud with their performance this weekend. They played their hearts out.” ■ The Calderwood Automation Atom BB Napanee Stars began their playoff run, hosting the Lindsay Muskies at the Strathcona

Aiden Vallier was stellar in net, repelling the Muskies at many points. The Muskies would score into the third period and briefly take a 2-1 lead. Zered Haller would answer with a goal for the Stars, and the game would close in a 2-2 tie. The Stars will travel to Lindsay on Saturday and to Wellington on

In loving memory of our parents and grandparents Vernard - August 12, 1926 January 29, 1987 (30 years) Velma - September 24, 1929 April 18, 2007 (10 years)

You still live on In the hearts and minds, Of the loving family You left behind.

Love your family.

In Memory of

KELLY (Schunk) - In loving memory of our dearest Mother and Nan, Carole, who was suddenly taken from us four years ago, on January 30, 2013. They say that time’s a healer But as the time goes on, We seem to find it just as hard To face the fact you’ve gone. Today it’s the Anniversary Of the day you went away, Were standing here at your graveside And believe us when we say You’ll never be forgotten And every year we’ll shed a tear, But it’s only because we love you, And wish you were still here! Forever missed and always loved, from your children, grandchildren and loved ones. OLIVER - In loving memory of a dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Mildred, who passed away January 22, 2012. You’re not forgotten, mother dear, Nor ever shall you be, As long as life and memory last We shall remember thee. Sadly missed by Elvin, Carol, Garry, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. STIMPSON - In loving memory of our parents, Betty, who passed away January 28, 2003 and Tom on January 8, 1989. Time takes away the edge of grief, But memory turns back every leaf, We who loved them sadly miss them, But trust in God to meet again. Forever in our hearts.

ALGER, John Alan

John Alan Alger, 74, died peacefully, Saturday, January 22, 2017 at Kingston General Hospital. St. Elizabeth provided exemplary palliative care for John at home in the months before his death. He leaves his wife of 48 years, Sharon (Ferguson) of Napanee; his sons, Andy Alger and wife Sherina, their son Mason; Peter Alger and his daughters Trinity and Sophie. He leaves his siblings, Maxine Bridges and husband John, Noreen Macowiak and husband Herb, Jude Fitzsimons and husband Dan, Bob Alger and spouse Elisa Macfarlane and

DEATHS

It is with profound sadness to announce the passing of William Norman (Bill) Cox at the Lennox and Addington County Hospital on January 22, 2017 after a lengthy illness. He was in his 85th year. A native of Toronto, he and his wife, Carolyn (Green) left the big city and moved to Napanee for a quieter, saner lifestyle in 1990. Besides his adoring wife, he is survived by his three daughters, Sharon Tiano (Dominic Jr.), Fairless Hills, PA; Marlene McArthur, Kitchener, ON and Donna Macek (the late Leo), Toronto, one grandson, Jason Moss (Atsuko) of Toronto and one great-granddaughter, Hana, who never failed to light up Bill’s face like a Christmas tree. He also leaves his sister, Shirley Bohemier,

Simcoe, ON and several cousins, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his mother and stepfather, Elizabeth (Peg) and Gerard Bohemier and his brother, Edward (Ed). Bill had a multi-faceted career over the decades, selling everything from life insurance to vacuum cleaners, hair pieces and lastly real estate. He retired in 1990. To list all of Bill’s achievments, interests and skills would be impossible. But to name a few: he was very intelligent, he had a great sense of humour and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. He loved to read; he was artistic, and computer-savvy; and he thoroughly enjoyed travelling the world. But perhaps his most important quality was the love he had for his wife and family. He will be sorely missed by friends and family. Gone -- but never forgotten. Cremation has taken place and at Bill’s request, no funeral service will be held. Instead, at a later date, the family will deposit his ashes in Lake Ontario. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Napanee Humane Society, the Lennox and Addington County Hospital Foundation or a charity of your choice. Arrangements made by Wartman Funeral Home, Napanee. Online condolences at www.wartmanfuneralhomes.com

At 19 years of age, in her running shoes, she climbed Ben Nevis, the highest montain in Britain (4,400 ft). She served her country at the age of 20 in WWII by joining the Auxiliary Territorial Service and driving “lorries” to re-supply the troops. She still had a valid driver’s licence and had travelled extensively in Europe, as far away as Italy even in her later years. She visited Iceland as she wanted to see and bathe in the “Blue Lagoon”. She embraced our winters and rode on the back of a snowmobile, went dashing through the snow on a one horse open sleigh and loved how our skies were so blue in the winter and the snow crunched and squeaked under our feet. She rode in the sidecare of a motorcycle driven by an 80+ friend. She brightened so many lives with her many visits to Canada and is fondly remembered by so many friends in the Napanee area, especially those who attended Trinity United Church. In Scotland she was a dedicated church and community volunteer for so many causes. Always thinking of others before herself. Funeral services will be in Scotland on January 27th.

The event saw 17 visiting teams with Port Perry’s rink, skipped by Carol Jackson, winning the A final and the team from Royal Kingston Curling Club, skip Denise

Mulville, winning the B final. They will now be heading for the Provincials in Lindsay on Feb. 15th to 19th.

Local rink John Deman took runner up in the second draw and also in the winners circle was a local team skipped by Andy Palmer. The high “one game winner” of the event was another local team of Chris Ramshaw, but skipped by Dave Van Vlack, as

As they enter the regular season’s home stretch, this particular group continues to reach new heights not seen by an NDSS boys’ basketball

Last week they pulled off a stunning upset, downing the Holy Cross Crusaders 3534. “I think that’s probably the first time in the last 10 to 20 years that we’ve beat Holy Cross in basketball,” said Paddle-Grant. “That game was huge.” And it could just be the start of things to come for this

Intertwined with the description of the snowcover landscape is the tale of a mythical romance of a young couple who engage the services of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Parson Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to unite them in marriage. Having completed the words he showed his composition to a friend, Felix Barnard, who set to work creating a melody compatible with the cheery strain. The result was the celebrated number which, although it is actually just a winter tune, is often associated with the Christmas season. It was an immediate hit and was first featured at the opening of the Christmas show at the Radio Music Hall that same year. Smith, however, never got to enjoy the fruits of his labour. Before the next holiday season he passed away at the age of 34.
