After Greater Napanee council withdrew the Service Delivery Review in late 2014, it discussed reasons to bring it back after budget. During a Dec. 16, 2014, regular council meeting, council withdrew the SDR request for proposal after three firms made submissions to proceed with the research. During Tuesday’s regular council meeting, Ward 3 councillor Roger Cole asked that council take another look at the SDR. “At the Dec. 16 council meeting, it was basically our direction to staff to withdraw the RFP and in my opinion, with good reason; it wasn’t covering all of the issues that I thought were important. I’m just wondering, is the concept of the SDR being buried or is there light at the end of the tunnel? “I still feel that the process is valuable. In order for it to have value in the long term, it has to do all that you want it to do — and that original one, in my opinion, did not do that,” Cole explained. Greater Napanee Chief Administrative Officer Ray Callery explained that staff had been advised by council to withdraw the process and wait until after

While it’s not unusual to see a ‘hog’ rumble down Centre Street in Napanee, it’s generally one with two wheels and handlebars. It was a hog of a different sort that made his presence known on Saturday when Tia Butcher and Zach Edgar took their pet pig, Marvin, for a walk downtown.

A pool committee can be formed now that Greater Napanee council adopted the pool task force terms of references this week. Staff presented council with the terms of reference during Tuesday’s regular council meeting, which is a five-page document outlining committee requirements, goals and mandate. Deputy Mayor Marg Isbester moved to accept the terms of reference; however, Ward 5 councillor Shaune Lucas felt it should be tabled. “I think this should be tabled for a month, or two weeks,” said Lucas. “I think we should have a discussion on this.” But most councillors agreed that the terms of reference needed to be approved in order to get the committee together and start collecting information. “I don’t think by starting a committee we’re saying that a pool is going up. Information is going to be brought back to council. Council is going to look at the information,” said Mayor Gord Schermerhorn. “All we’re doing by starting this committee, in my view, is they’re going to start collecting information, how maybe we could fund it, try to help us to get funding from the province, maybe find a different location. Maybe there’s a different location that I’ve never even thought of,” Schermerhorn added. “The province is not handing any money out. We know the money is tight, but (the committee is) for them to bring information and new ideas back to us.” Ward 4 councillor Carol Harvey also voiced her frustration on the issue, stating since so many staff members will sit on the pool committee, staff should just get started now and bring information to council as soon as possible.

At right, eight-year-old Ellie Nugent goes for a skate on a patch of ice at the Newburgh Conservation Area. Besides skating, visitors could also have their faces painted, play on a giant snow hill, go for a horse-drawn wagon ride or, of course, grab something to eat.

Changes in store for Downtown BIA in 2015 Co-chair says there’s a “new dynamic” on the business association for this year
Staff Reporter
With recent changes to board members, size and leadership roles, the Business Improvement Area board is gearing up to make 2015 a year of changes and improvements. Before the New Year, 12 people showed interest in sitting on the BIA board; however, Greater Napanee council decided only eight people would sit on the board and voted in the new representatives. In addition to those eight, the BIA office manager and a council representative would also sit on the board. Current BIA office manager, Tom Coke, is leaving the BIA early next month. His last day is Feb. 6 and applications are being accepted for the position. “We’ve got a new board so we’re certainly going to be reviewing the strategic plan and having a discussion on what we want to do in the future. Our two main mandates, really, are beautification and promoting the downtown. We’re going to be taking a hard look at what we can do for that,” said
Sondra Elliot, new BIA board co-chair and owner of Pet Penache, eager to keep things on track and embrace the recent BIA changes. “There’s a new dynamic to the board. It’s a good mix between merchants and professionals,” added Elliott. A survey will be circulating to all BIA members, which will help the board outline key elements it needs to focus on in the future. “There are strong indications that this is going to be a very active board and this is what we need,” said Elliott, stating the new direction outlined in the community survey will help to put the board on the right track. “Right now we’ve had a couple of meetings that have gone really well. It appears so far that we all have a general consensus on where we want to go,” she added. First and foremost is promoting the downtown, explained Elliott. “Our major goal for the next year is going to be promoting the downtown and promoting merchants and the membership of the downtown. We need to get that up and seriously look at

where we’re putting our money, how we’re spending our money, and are we spending it wisely,” said Elliott. She said promoting each BIA member is going to be “critical” moving forward, and something she hopes will also increases membership. “We are going to be refocusing, to a certain degree, where the board wants to shift things and that we’re doing a good job for our membership. Ultimately, we’re accountable to our membership, and that’s what we need to keep focusing on,” said Elliott. Part of promoting the downtown is beautification, she said. Already the BIA has met with Communities in Bloom and plans to work with CIB and the downtown merchants to make the downtown, and Greater Napanee, a place people want to visit. “With the beautification, it’s really going to make it worthwhile. Doris Lucas is a member of the board and is being the lead on that,” said Elliott. Lucas is also an active and leading member of CIB. “There’s no question about it, we definitely want
The new BIA board members are: Garth Yach, co-owner of Wendalyn’s Fashions; Julia Dicks, owner of Sun Life Financial; Doris Lucas, owner of April’s Image; Rob Hendrick, co-owner of Touch of Class Fashions and the new BIA chair; Tammy Peck, owner of Flowers by Barbara; Terry Johnson, coowner of Sand N Sea Boutique; Denise Depencier, owner of Framing Daisy; and Sondra Elliot, owner of Pet Penache and the new BIA co-chair. The BIA holds monthly meetings on the third Wednesday of each month. Meetings are held at the BIA office and are open to all BIA members.
grow and we had the business community step up to the plate, once again, to sponsor the program. That was the first time that had ever happened and it was a great fit, great sponsorship, and it worked really well,” said Coke. Other successes for 2014 include BIA movie nights and growth of the Big Bright Lights Show. “I think 2014 saw a lot of other communities take notice of the great things that were going on down here — the great businesses, the great restaurants and cafés, we’ve just had really great continuous growth,” said Coke, hoping for that momentum to continue into 2015.
to participate in (CIB). When people come to your town, there are two things: they come to see your shops, explore your downtown core; and it has to be attractive,” said Elliott. “If it’s not inviting, they don’t always come back. So we want to see a real ‘wow factor.’ When we drive into Napanee they say, ‘Oh wow, look at this.’” Elliott said that with so many new stores and businesses opening downtown, there is all the more reason for people to come to Napanee — however, if the beautification is increased, it will give people incentive to want to stay longer and come back again. BIA office manager Tom Coke said 2014 was a very successful year and he hopes the board will continue to move forward in 2015. “An overview of 2014 was a year of good progress. A lot of good things happened,” said Coke. One of the major highlights was the partnership between the Lennox and Addington Association for Community Living, the BIA, and the downtown merchants. “The continued partnership with the BIA and Community Living, we saw that

Woman on walk to Ottawa for autism awareness
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
If all goes according to Dee Gordon’s plan, she’ll walk onto Parliament Hill this afternoon armed with a petition baring 1 million signatures calling for a national strategy of funding for people with autism. Her arrival will mark the end of a two-week walk from her Etobicoke home to Ottawa, which began on Jan. 15. Last Thursday she strolled through Napanee, marking the roughly half way mark of her journey. She’s accepting no donations on her walk, instead focusing on raising awareness. The 51-year-old
mom’s goal is to get people talking about autism and to take her plea to the federal government in hopes of changing the way people with autism are treated. “My son Jacob, he has autism,” explained Gordon. “He’s 14-years-old and we have struggled for all 14 years trying to find treatment, funding, therapy, research, education. You name it, we’ve exhausted pretty much everything thing that’s been offered to us.” After feeling frustrated with what was available to her son and other kids with autism, Gordon began developing a petition to present to the government. In it she calls for better
funding for therapy, surveillance, respite care, community initiatives and research for people with autism. She is also asking the government to develop a Pan-Canadian strategy for people with Autism Spectrum Disorders that includes raising awareness, funding educational campaigns and child, adolescent and adult interventions. Out-of-pocket expenses for therapy can be too much for most families to afford, she says, and often kids are left to make do in an improper setting. “It just seemed like I wasn’t the only one going through this,” said Gordon of her motivation to walk

for awareness. “It seemed like a lot of parents were reaching out to me because they saw how hard I was fighting for my son and they wanted to know how they could fight for their children.” While the easier thing to do would have been to wait until May or June for her 500-kilometre walk, Gordon picked the middle of January as a show of solidarity. “Everyday is a snow storm for my son and I need people to understand that,” she said. Support has been growing for Gordon with each community she visits. She
says she’s been overwhelmed by the amount of e-mails, well wishers and people asking to sign her petition. “A child stopped by and asked me ‘are you going to fix my autism?,” said Gordon. “No, I’m not going to fix autism. I’m going to help you get the help you need. I’m going to help you live with your autism. Why should we wait for years for something that might not work later on? Early intervention is really the key in helping these children.” Gordon describes herself as non-political; she’s
simply a mom trying to give her child the best possible chance in life. She’s hoping to redefine the way people with no connection to autism look at those who are dealing with it. “I hope that more corporations will open their doors to people with autism so they can understand their differences and so that they can be contributing members of society,” she added. For more information on Gordon’s cause, visit www.WalkToOttawa.org. A downloadable copy of her petition is also available on the site.

My heart adventure In a few days, Heart and Stroke Month begins. Ironically, it was almost exactly one year ago that my own ‘heart adventure’ began. I call it an adventure because, like any good adventure, it had a few twists and turns, had its fair share of scary parts, and had happy ending. That said, it’s not an adventure I’d recommend taking, if you can help it. My adventure wasn’t like your typical cardiac-trouble stories. It started with the flu — at least, that’s what everyone thought I had when I became sick in mid-December 2013. High fever, aches and pains, loss of appetite all pointed to the flu. However, I didn’t get better — I gradually felt worse. Much worse. I was wisely advised to go up to the L&A County General Hospital to get checked out again. It wasn’t the flu. No, somehow some staph bacteria had entered my bloodstream; that infection was making me sick. I was immediately put on intravenous antibiotics and, within a few days, I was feeling much better. However, while I felt like I was on the mend, the bacteria had managed to take up residence on one of the valves of my heart, and the bugs were doing a number on it. It’s called endocarditis. It was hoped that with antibiotics, the bacteria-caused ‘vegetation’ would be reduced. After a few more weeks of round-the-clock antibiotics, however, the vegetation didn’t get smaller — it was just as large as it ever was. Fast-forward to Jan. 30, 2014. After a weeklong-stay at Kingston General Hospital, I was on an operating table to have the now essentially destroyed heart valve replaced. The operation was a smashing success. I was out of the hospital in matter of a few days, and back at work — first from home, then at the office — in a matter of a few weeks. Ironically, the ‘I’m coming home’ ads produced by the Heart and Stroke Foundation were on the airwaves just as I was, literally, coming home. I’m incredibly thankful to everyone who helped me during that time, particularly my wife, family and friends. My physicians were great. My home care nurses were phenomenal. The folks at the Cardiac Rehab Centre at L&A County General Hospital helped get me back on my feet and living healthier. However, I’m also thankful to the Heart and Stroke Foundation for all the supports that I enjoyed before, during and after my surgery. I’m sure those supports are familiar to anyone who’s been on a heart adventure, too. Obviously, the Heart and Stroke Foundation helped to make my surgery possible, in that they’ve been the biggest private contributor to heart and stroke research in Canada. The group’s literature guided me through the steps before surgery and in the recovery after. Virtually every element of my experience was touched by the Heart and Stroke Foundation. So, when the Heart and Stroke Foundation canvassers come to your door, please support them. After all, you never know when you, or someone you love, might be sent off on a heart adventure.

Dee Gordon walked through Napanee last Thursday, on her way to Ottawa from Etobicoke as part of a campaign to raise awareness for autism. She hopes to collect one million signatures to call for a national strategy for supporting those with autism and their families.
Letter to the Editor
Responsiveness found lacking Last Monday at approximately 8:15 a.m., I fell on the slippery sidewalks of Napanee just down from the Napanee Beaver. I don’t know if I properly thanked the two people who came to my rescue as I was a little dazed and confused. So, I would like to take this opportunity to thank them now. It’s nice to know that there is still some compassion in this world. You were both so thoughtful and concerned for my well-being. That’s more than I can say for the town when I called them to
tell them what had happened. Apparently, our town has no idea who looks after our sidewalks. After calling the town I was transferred to the Downtown Napanee Business Improvement Association. Yep, me too, I thought the same thing: Why would the BIA look after the slippery sidewalks? Well, they don’t, so I was told they would have someone get back to me. It’s now a week-and-a-half later and still no call. Lucky for me I came through the fall with
only a big fat bruise on my leg and a few aches and pains in my back and arm. Or, should I say, lucky for the town. Next time, I may not be so lucky, and it would be nice to know that when I call our great town, someone will know who looks after these things. Again, thank you so much to the two people who came to my rescue. Your kindness was greatly appreciated. Sheri Lefebvre, Greater Napanee

Our inaction does us a disservice N Canada, our population is approximately 35 million. A recent census revealed that this number includes 1.12 million people who embrace the Muslim faith – roughly 3.2 per cent. It is obvious that the Muslim faith is growing rapidly. However, where articles of Islamic faith come into conflict with the law of the land and core Canadian principles, the law of the land and those core principles must always be the primary consideration. There are court challenges. For example, Zanera Ishaq of Mississauga is suing the Canadian Government because she insists on taking her Canadian Citizenship oath while having her face covered (even though she was given the option to take her oath, head uncovered, in private). We are giving her the opportunity to become a citizen of this great country, and she is abusing our generosity — and tying up the courts. Frankly, this
I
lawsuit is an abuse of our good will and I believe that if this person insists on taking this path, she should be refused citizenship with no hope of becoming a citizen until she agrees to comply with our laws. I can respect people who come to our country when they first obey our laws, value our traditions, our way of life and work hard to make a positive mark in their adoptive country. Nothing else will do, regardless of their age, race, religion or place of origin. Politicians in Canada, have already acquiesced to ‘political correctness’ to take away some of our most treasured traditions that have been part of this country’s heritage since its inception in 1867, ie: using the words Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas and saying holiday tree, instead of Christmas tree — all for fear of offending a small percentage of our population. But then, to be fair, we vented to each other rather than to the powers that be and
did nothing to try to put an end to this action. Shame on us! Around the world, it would seem that the ultimate objective of fanatical Muslims is world domin a t i o n , believing that their way and their god is Cheers supreme and that no other race or religion has the right to exist. There are the Muslim groups ie: ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, and others that are mushrooming the world over, wreaking havoc around the world – even in Canada. How can these thugs say they represent peace in the name of Allah? Peace does not include murder, assassination, massacre, kidnapping, ransom demands,
dismemberment, corruption, human suffering, burning of entire t o w n s , beheadings, stoning, throwing people off buildings, c l o s i n g schools, k i l l i n g school children, raping and prostituting capstrap& Jeers tives, ping bombs to children, allowing boys to become soldiers, and forcing citizens to live in fear without the least sign of compassion or regret. These tyrannical groups seem to be vying with each other to become known as the most brutal faction. They are like a cancer that will continue to try to enforce their poison on all people around the world unless they are stopped. As Prime Minis-
Pierre Cliche
ter Stephen Harper has said, “We are at war with jihad.” There is no better way of saying it. We must defend ourselves, our way of life, our traditions and our citizens. Besides fighting this group we must cut off their financial revenues. This is what will bring them to their knees. In the end, I am a proud Canadian, living in a wonderful country and believe we must all fight those who would destroy what we have. There are many Muslims who abide by the rules, but are not recognized as such because of the thugs who kill in the name of Allah. I would like to see these non-radicalized Muslim citizens forcefully fight those who give them a bad name. I would like to see the parents of children from all races and religions instil strong, honest family values in their children that would include a respect for differing points of view and a sense of self-worth. Perhaps this will keep so many of our children from
seeing the attraction of terrorist ideals and keep them from wanting to join these despicable groups. These groups who spread terror must be defeated by the effort of all people everywhere, working together. It is useless to try to negotiate or converse with fanatics as they have proven time and again that they will happily shoot anyone who voices opinions that are contrary to their own. We must all work together, non-radical Muslims included, to destroy those who use Allah as the figurehead of savagery. Perhaps we should accept our own culpability for the advancement and spread of the terrorists who commit such atrocities. Therefore, jeers to us, because as the saying goes ‘behaviour we ignore, is behaviour we condone’ and as Rosie Dimanno mentioned in her Toronto Star column last week, “Fear of offending is an offense in itself.” Pierre Cliche plcliche@sympatico.ca
Celebrating the freedom to read Next month is all about banned books at the L&A County libraries. Freedom to Read celebrations take place each February in Canada to remind and encourage people to reaffirm their commitment to intellectual freedom. The County of Lennox and Addington Libraries, in accordance with the laws and principles that govern libraries, does not take this commitment lightly. We endeavor to keep our collection as well-rounded as possible in order to serve the diverse needs of all our patrons and will only restrict access when required by Canadian law. Sometimes this means including items that may be considered controversial. Enter:
banned books! In libraries all over the world there are challenges to books. A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group. A banning is the removal of those materials. Challenges do not simply involve a person expressing a point of view; rather, they are an attempt to remove material from the curriculum or library, thereby restricting the access of others. As such, they are a threat to freedom of speech and choice. The most challenged books in recent years belong to authors such as John Green and Sherman Alexie (YA books that feature some mature themes) and
Catherine Coles Coles’ Notes E.L. James (Fifty Shades of Grey) for obvious reasons. It is not the right-wing fringe that demands books be pulled from shelves either. Case in point: In the interest of social justice and political correctness, England’s Inner London Education Authority declared in 1985 that all “racist, sexist, and imperialist books” were to be removed from school library shelves. Oliver Twist, for example, was tossed for being “anti-Semitic,” while Tom Sawyer was determined to
be “sexist” and “racist.” While technically true, each book is in itself a piece of social history that cannot be ignored. What’s my favourite part of all of this? In a move that made significantly less sense, the ILEA also banned Beatrix Potter’s The Tale of Peter Rabbit for portraying middle-class rabbits and only middle-class rabbits. Peter Rabbit’s family was swimming in vegetables (and apparently flaunting too much rabbit privilege), and that this somehow constituted a complete lack of representation of poor, oppressed rabbits in Beatrix Potter’s world. Thankfully, ILEA’s rules were struck down in 1990 and Peter Rabbit hops on in London schools.
For more interesting, surprising and sometimes completely hilarious banned books facts, follow us on social media. We’ll be posting banned books that we own in our libraries for each day of the month. A complete list will also be available on our website at www.countylibrary.ca. Our online book club will also be reading banned books — personally, I’m looking forward to finally getting around to finally trying The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, which was most notably banned during the Apartheid. Happy ‘Freedom to Read’! Catherine Coles is the manager of library services for Lennox and Addington County.
OFA responds to government pollinator health proposal A
fter thoroughly reviewing the provincial government’s discussion paper on pollinator health, attending public consultation meetings and researching causes of bee mortality, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture recently submitted an official response. The OFA’s response, along with our industry partners’ views are critical input to the public consultation process, established for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs discussion paper Pollinator Health — A Proposal for Enhancing Pollinator Health and Reducing the Use of Neonicotinoid Pesticides in Ontario. The proposals in the discussion paper require serious review and a significant body of work yet to be done by industry experts. The OFA strongly supports the need for a comprehensive pollinator health strategy to address
the complexity of keeping our pollinator population healthy. But we have serious concerns about the Ontario government’s approach outlined in the discussion paper. The OFA’s concern is that one factor — the use of neonicotinoid seed treatments — has been isolated as the focus of compromised pollinator health. The current process outlined in the discussion paper to dramatically lower levels of treated seed acreage is not evidence based and therefore flies in the face of the government’s own Open for Business consultation process. In our response, we outlined four key observations about the contents of the government’s discussion paper: the need for and content of a pollinator health strategy; our perspective on the economics of neonicotinoid use; our practical concerns with the regulation of neonicotinoid treated seed; and our work-

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago February 3, 1965 n Napanee town council was considering whether it would take over winter sidewalk clearing by 1966. Council was responding to presentation by the Napanee Ratepayers Association, who said that the town was not enforcing its sidewalk shovelling bylaw, and as a result, a number of sections of sidewalk in the town were covered in snow. Council was also told that some senior residents were unable to clear their sidewalks. The group’s spokesperson suggested that a town-owned snowblower could ensure the sidewalks were kept clear. n A Canadian military helicopter had to set down near Napanee after it experienced mechanical difficulties. The RCAF chopper landed just north of Napanee near Jack’s Restaurant. Its crew of four and one passenger were then picked up and returned to CFB Trenton. It wasn’t the first time the RCAF used the site. One week earlier, a helicopter landed there to pick up a county health team to take them to Amherst Island, where an outbreak of scarlet fever was taking place.
35 Years Ago January 30, 1980 n A couple of murder suspects from Montreal saw their time on the run come to a end in Napanee. Constable Paul Clement of the Napanee Police was on routine patrol in the early morning hours when he performed a licence check on a car. That check revealed that the car was reported stolen and related to an ongoing murder investigation. The two men in the car were taken into custody, and within 12 hours, police officers from Montreal had arrived in Napanee to assume custody of the suspects, both of whom were in their mid-20s. n The L&A Federation of Agriculture gave voters their first opportunity to size up the local candidates in the federal election. Incumbent Progressive Conservative MP Bill Vankoughnet, Liberal challenger Ron Vastokas, NDP candidate Kevin Arsenault and independent hopeful Ross Baker were all in attendance for the all-candidates meeting at The Prince Charles School. About 200 filled the gym at the school for the debate. While several topics were discussed, the farming sector was the top issue on the table for the meeting.
We are a month into the New Year and hopefully many of us are still on our New Year resolution to lose some weight and get into shape. Many of us buy a gym membership that we don’t use beyond the first few days. The hardest part of a workout is most often simply showing up. This is especially true in the case of beginners who bring along the enthusiasm in the world on the first two days. Pretty soon, sore muscles and a busy workday ensure that they put off the gym routine indefinitely. With a home gym, it allows you to break the cycle and work out at your convenience. With all the workout equipment right at home and available in any hour of the day, it is hard not to turn into a fitness fanatic pretty soon. Home gyms are all about adapting the workout routine and timing to suit your lifestyle and it various constraints. Many homes have a treadmill or dumbbell these days, but a home gym is more that just an accumulation of equipment — it’s the product of a well-conceived design that’s as functional as it’s motivating. The good news is that it doesn’t have to take up much space, nor does it require plumbing or a lot of rewiring to set up a home gym. It does, however, take careful planning to optimize the square footage and create a sound, safe, and inviting workout space. Before you start equipment shopping, settle on the location of your home gym. Space limitations will impact the size, quantity, and layout of your apparatus. Basements are a natural for an exercise area. It’s best to place a home gym on the lowest level of your home to reduce noise transmission from the exercise equipment. Treadmills, stationary bikes, and elliptical machines produce droning vibrations that can be transmitted through a wood-framed floor. Concrete slab floors which are usually found in the basement absorb the vibrations. Also, basements tend to be on the cooler side — perfect for when you’re working out. Use these guidelines to determine approximately how much room you’ll need: n Treadmill: 30 square feet n Stationary bike: 10 square feet n Rowing machine: 20 square feet n Elliptical trainer: 30 square feet n Stair climber: 10-20 square feet n Single station gym: 35 square feet n Free weights: 20-50

square feet Make sure to look at ceiling height as well, since some equipment sits high off the ground. The choice of flooring surface is critical. Gym floors are susceptible to perspiration drips, so sheet vinyl, tile or hardwood flooring with polyurethane finish are low-maintenance choices. Another smart choice is using carpet tiles, which are resilient, sound absorbing, and easy to replace if one gets damaged. There is no need to replace the entire floor then. If you are having a free-weight area, think about heavy-duty mats that will protect the floor. Recommended is a half-inch thick recycled rubber flooring. It will take the impact from dropping the weight a lot easier. If you engage in a vigorous workout, your home gym may become hot and usually priced that way for humid. You may prefer to a reason.

easy to learn, and your body should move in a correct and safe manner. Parts should be easily removed and replaced, and moving parts should lattice well. There shouldn’t be any design flaws or weaknesses that could increase the risk of injury. Be honest with yourself about how motivated you will be to exercise at home before you make the investment. It is also important that you understand how to exercise safely and that your doctor has cleared you to exercise. Home gyms are not just for the rich and famous. A savvy functional workout area can be added to your home without much fuss. Once you’re hooked on a workout routine, pretty soon you will think about revving things up a notch and taking your home gym to a whole new level. One of the best things you can do for your workout is to set small goals for yourself, either a friendly competition with a friend to motivate you along, or get into great shape for a run/race in a few months.

POOL | Public involvement urged CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “Why wouldn’t staff just do it? Why wouldn’t Town of Napanee staff pursue this? I just feel like the public needs to be involved and brainstorm, approach council with their proposals and ask staff if they’re available to check this or that, and the public take on some onus to do a lot of the research and checking things out. It looks to me like a staff committee… and without the public’s input I don’t see where we’re going at all,” she said. According to the terms of reference, the committee is to have 11 members, ranging in expertise and knowledge. Three of those members are town staff, and, in addition, Harvey will sit on the committee as the council representative. The remaining seven members were not yet named, as the committee had not yet been officially formed. “That’s why we’re forming the committee, to try to get the public involved and enthused. We have staff there to do research for the committee, take minutes, to try to help them along,” Schermerhorn clarified. Lucas said he supports a pool as long as financing is secured. Still, he said council needs to have discussion among itself
COMMUNITY PULSE
in order to give direction to staff and the committee. “This is an issue we haven’t talked about yet as council and I’ve got red pen marks all over the place (on the terms of reference). This was an issue for the last council; this was the issue in the election,” said Lucas, stating it is clear that aquatics is needed in Greater Napanee. “I would like to hear from every member of this council what their position is on aquatics, whether they like indoor or outdoor, location; I don’t think this has been discussed,” he added. “Do we need aquatics? Yes. Location? Not sure. Format? Not sure. Budgeting? Not sure. Can I ask for some comments from other people? Because we, as a council, haven’t talked about this,” Lucas said. Isbester voiced her frustration as well, but in support of those looking to form a pool committee. “The pool people… have never really had a chance to organize this or push it forward with staff help, or terms of reference. I think what we have before us tonight lays out a good direction of where we should go,” she said, after moving her motion to adopt the terms of reference, which was then carried by council.
REVIEW | Could come back to table CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the 2015 budget had been passed before taking another look at whether to proceed with a new SDR or not. Mayor Gord Schermerhorn explained how the SDR had been complicated as a result of the election. “The last council, and a few of them are still on now, approved a certain criteria for the SDR. Then, we had an election; and all of a sudden it was cancelled,” said Schermerhorn. “We were getting ready to go to RFP, if I recall. Whether it answered everything, we were trying to get the most answers we could, with the information we had, and try to keep the cost down wherever we could. The last council approved the criteria that we were looking at with that RFP. Now, if this council wants to change it, then you better bring a motion forward to change the criteria,” he added. None of the members of council put forward a motion. Deputy Mayor Marg Isbester said she agreed with Cole, saying the issue started in Ward 3 and residents are still looking for answers. Both Isbester and Cole have represented Ward 3 on council. “I support, certainly, what councillor Cole is saying; I think we just got bogged down in too many things. This whole issue

started because in Ward 3 we have people that really are feeling that they should not be paying (certain tax rates), and they’re in an area where they think they should be afforded the rural discount,” said Isbester. “I still get a number of calls from the group in the County Road 41 area; Vanluven Rd. and Kimmett Side Rd. There’s a group there who are concerned,” added Cole, stating that area has a “unique” situation. “When they ask me about it I don’t have a clear-cut answer for them,” said Cole, adding that he feels it’s council’s responsibility to provide a “crystal clear,” answer. Ward 4 councillor Carol Harvey said she felt tax rates should be looked at but should be done by town staff in order to save consultation costs. Schermerhorn said consultants were brought forward because the project grew to be much larger than originally anticipated. “This turned from a simple review to a tax issue and it shouldn’t have,” said Schermerhorn. “It was going to say: ‘It costs so much to plow a rural road, versus an urban road; it costs so much to deal with fire in urban compared to rural.’ We’re getting bogged down in a tax issue and that isn’t what it started out to be.”

Seminars to focus on small business BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Small business seminars are being offered again in Greater Napanee to help owners and managers run their businesses more efficiently and to become better engaged with rights and regulations. Again, the Small Business Centre, the Prince Edward/Lennox and Addington Community Futures Development Corporation and the Napanee and District Chamber of Commerce have partnered to offer a winter series of educational workshops free
of charge. The sessions are being held at the NDCC office between Feb. 12 and March 3. They will provide insight on succession planning, social media, health and safety, and the Employment Standards Act. “Last year around this time there were a group of organizations that partnered and hosted several business-oriented seminars and we’re really pleased to say that we were able to do the same thing again this year,” said Kathy Medd, NDCC manager. “Whether you’re someone who is thinking of relocating to Napanee and
SENIORS’ CALENDAR
thinking of opening a small bakery, to someone who’s been here for 30 years… there should be good information for both types of people,” added Sandy Abbott, SBC consultant. The four workshop topics were determined based on need in the local business community. “This isn’t just a bunch of training events for something to do — they (NDCC and the SBC) have gone out and spoken with their clients and customers, and I’ve done the same, and we’ve come up with ideas and training to make it practical,” explained Craig Desjardins, of PELA CFDC. “This is hands-on. You bring your products, the
experts are there; they show you how to improve it… It’s very practical, very simple learning for businesses to make money,” Desjardins continued. “In speaking with businesses and networking with the business community, we see these as some of the real needs that are out there. Succession planning is really important right now. We’re seeing a generational change happening right now within the business community. We’re also seeing a lot of activity and interest in purchasing businesses,” Medd said. Succession planning is the first workshop in this series. It will be held on Feb. 12, from 1:30-3:30 p.m.

Act, which applies to all businesses – big or small. Following the session, participants will receive a certificate confirming their awareness training. Medd said these types of workshops are extremely valuable to business owners, managers and employees and is available at no cost. “Small businesses that don’t have the money to go out and hire the big firms (can learn from) this very hands-on session. We provide training for them to take the simple approach to do things themselves,” said Medd. The final session is equally as valuable: it will be on explaining the Employment Standards Act. It will take place on March 3, from 9 a.m. until noon. Terry McKever, of the Ministry of Labour, will be presenting on this topic. The labour board conducts annual inspections of businesses to determine if they are being compliant with all the standards set out. This workshop will make business owners and operators aware of all the required standards, new and old. Topics McKever plans to speak on include: payment of wages, allowable deductions, eating periods, holiday and vacation pay, minimum wage, terminations and severances.

Air club sets down at icy Conservation Park BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
While the Napanee River at Conservation Park has been a popular spot for boats using the docks for a stopover in summer, the river attracted a new type of visitor this past Sunday. Some members of the Kingston Ultralight Club landed their airplanes on the frozen river on Sunday. The pilots used the wide section of the river downstream from the park for their approach and landing, then taxied around the bend to park near the bridge.
Besides visiting with interested members of the public, the pilots also warmed up and had lunch at the nearby Waterfront Pub. According to club member and local resident Dave Clapp, the event was “just and excuse for us to get out and get flying.” He said that flying in the winter is better than flying in warmer weather for one main reason: stable air. Because cold air is denser than warm air, it’s much easier for airplanes to get loft and take off, and makes for a less turbulent ride. Further, when a pilot can find a good bare patch of ice, they can land on just
about any frozen body of water; planes equipped with skis become even more versatile. Byron Maclean, another club member, said there is a procedure to follow before landing on frozen water — a procedure he used before landing on the Napanee River on Sunday. He took a few precautionary passes — one a few feet off the ice to inspect the ‘runway’ — before circling back and landing. Maclean said it was his first time landing the plane on the river at Napanee, adding that it was nice to interact with the public and talk about the club and about flying.

Soil: Where food begins Welcome to the International Year of Soils. If this comes as a surprise to you, no worries, you are not alone. It seems that most of us are keenly unaware of the value of our dirt (the good stuff) and I am here to help change that. On Dec. 5 last year, Jose Graziano de Silva, the Director General for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization deemed this year, 2015, to be the International Year of Soils. When I learned this I said to myself, “This is an opportunity that is too good to resist.” You see, I learned many years ago that over 90 per cent of my success in the garden hinged on one thing: the quality of the soil that I plant in. It goes without saying that my golden rule for a productive garden is, by extension, at the root of our success as a civilization. Perhaps it does not go without saying; after all, I have already stated that most of us are wholly unaware of the importance of soil. To kick off this topic, here are some useful statistics. Use them to show off your soil knowledge while gathered ‘round the water cooler on Monday morning: n it takes up to 1,000 years for a centimetre (about half an inch) of new soil to be made naturally n 33 per cent of the worlds soils are ‘degraded’ due to our negligence and misuse n 805 million people suffer malnutrition worldwide n projected population growth requires that agriculture increase productivity by 60 per cent n 95 per cent of all food comes from the soil (reminder: most of the animals that we use for human consumption feed on plant life) n More than one-third of our food is wasted and over one half of all of our household waste could be composted to produce new soil n There are more living organisms in one tablespoon of quality soil than there are humans on the face of the earth (over 7 billion) n Two hectares/4.9 acres of soil are sealed under expanding cities every minute worldwide Uggh. This was not meant to depress you, but merely inform. Sobering statistics can inspire us to care more deeply about important issues. Soil ranks up there with climate change, the declining urban forest, and polluted oceans. It just hasn’t made the headlines to the same extent as the others. The Director General referred to soils as the “nearly forgotten resource”
and called for more investment in sustainable soil management. Clearly we need to pay attention to how we use our soil. This calls into question the wisdom, for instance, of growing corn for use a fuel. When the same land can be used to help feed a hungry world, you have to wonder why we are choosing instead to feed the appetite of a large, fuel guzzling population.
Mark Cullen The Green File It is interesting to note that what goes on under the ground is far from simple. It is one big boiling kettle of microbes, bacteria, fungi, and tiny organisms. It is a jungle where the earthworm (all of which are not native to Canadian soil) is the king. It has fascinated me since first learning of soil’s complexity. We dig a hole, add some composted manure, and plant a tree or rose bush or heuchera. We water it and go indoors for another coffee and a muffin. Generally, I had not thought much about how the roots of my new plant intermingled with new and existing soil and how, over the fullness of time, new roots would develop and push their way through this cocktail of nutrients. In time, my plant would be anchored by the new roots and they would provide a conduit of moisture and nutrition that would sustain the top portion of the plant. I believe that most of us think very little about what goes on under the surface of the soil. And why should we: it is impossible to speculate on what the eye can’t see, so why bother? The purpose of setting one year aside to celebrate and educate during the International Year of Soils is to get us to stop and think about the meaning of life underground and what it means to us. And what does it mean? Our very sustenance depends on it. So what can we do of a meaningful nature that will make a difference? I have some suggestions: Compost. I know, most readers are using their green bins diligently and some (though not the majority) have a compost bin out of doors that actually gets filled from time to time. I urge you to take the activity of saving raw, green material, like food waste and fallen leaves, more seriously. The idea of composting went ‘mainstream’ over 20 years ago. At the time I
wrote a book on the subject called ‘The Real Dirt’ with my friend Lorraine Johnson about backyard composting. Thanks to her thorough research, it was considered the best reference book of its kind and was used in some university curriculums across the country. But our fascination with the conversion of raw, natural material into usable soil by way of the compost bin has not overcome all of the objections to it. I urge you to learn more and help all of us to be more diligent about this. Details at www.compost.org Plant a Row for the Hungry. For over 20 years members of the Garden Writers Association (of which I am one) have been preaching the need for fresh garden produce at all food banks. There is an appetite for all kinds of fruits, vegetables, and herbs at food banks across the country. The idea is a simple one. When you plant your garden this coming spring be sure to expand the food production capacity of it to include more tomatoes, squash, carrots, peppers, and potatoes, than you need to feed yourself and your family. Give the excess to your local food bank. If you have a fruiting tree that produces more fruit than you can eat, preserve, or have time to pick, then be sure to call ‘Not Far From the Tree’ and volunteer pickers will come to your home to harvest the excess and make sure that it is delivered to people who need it. Learn from farmers. Good farmers understand that they do not nurture plants so much as they foster good soil. The foundation of farming is to take good care of the soil and it will grow a great crop. To this end, they add generous quantities of naturally decomposed animal manures and ‘green crops’ to their land. They put back more nutrition than they take out. To do the reverse (take out more than you put into the soil) is what my farmer/brother-in-law calls ‘mining the land’ and it is as short-sighted as living exclusively on a diet of doughnuts and muffins only to be surprised that you are a candidate for a heart attack down the road.

‘Warm Toes’ puts boots to local need over holidays BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Demand for the Napanee Salvation Army’s Warm Toes campaign skyrocketed this winter — but fortunately so too did the community’s generosity. Despite seeing the number of children in need
of new boots nearly double to 400 kids from 220 last year, the SA was still able to meet the demand. “We really struggled for a while trying to figure out how we were going to be able to afford all these boots,” said Dana Henry, Community and Family Services Coordinator with the Napanee SA. “The com-
munity really came through. We had over $12,000 in donations.” As a thank-you to anyone who donated to their campaign they are hosting a gathering in the Salvation Army Church basement on Feb. 4 at 2 p.m. They’re located at 135 Mill St. W. “We had a lot of person-

al donations, a lot of company donations throughout,” said Henry. “There was a couple of schools that did a hot dog day and a portion of their funding came to us, so that was great to get the community involved.” Not only did they meet this year’s demand, but they actually exceeded it. That means they’re already on their way to stocking up for next year. Henry says they also have some kids’ jackets in reserve that they can hand out this season. Anyone in desperate need of a child-sized jacket can call the SA at 613-354-
6705. Henry says they’re exploring ways to help keep their ever-growing numbers more manageable for next year. They’ve noticed an alarming trend since they started keeping track of their numbers, noting that back in 2011 they helped 125 kids and it’s nearly quadrupled since then. She says they will be looking at applying for government grants and explore fundraising options. Now that the campaign has wrapped up, they’ll focus on raising money for
next year. Starting next month, in celebration of International Friend Month, the SA will once again team with the Napanee Area Community Health Centre to sell Friend-A-grams. For $5 people can order a Freind-A-gram cards to be sent to a friend or family member in the community that express how much they mean to them. They will be hand delivered by a member of the SA or NACHC. To order a Friend-Agram call Trish Reid at 613-354-8937 ext. 117.
Year-round operation for Bon Echo Prov. Park?
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
EEKING ways to drum up tourism in the colder months, a group of local businesses and councillors are exploring the possibility of keeping Cloyne’s Bon Echo Provincial Park open yearround. The park, which is Lennox and Addington County’s biggest tourist attraction, currently operates from May to October. In its first step of creating a business plan, the group is trying to determine if there’s enough public interest to justify opening the park in the winter months. “The Addington High-

lands Economic Advisors for Development Committee is investigating to see if having Bon Echo Park open in some capacity during the winter months will generate economic spin-off for the region,” explained Rob Plumley, economic development officer with L&A County. “At this point we’re gathering information to gauge public interest in having the park open for winter activities. If we determine that there is a favourable response, our hope is to present a business case to Bon Echo and to Ontario Parks for consideration.” Plumley says they’ve already had several members of the public express interest in having the park open year-round. They’re now looking to put those opinions to paper with an online survey. “The survey is very short and easy to complete,” said Plumley. “It lists all types of winter activities that are currently offered at Ontario Parks that are open in the winter time. Choices include

cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, bird watching and a few others. We’ve asked respondents to tell us what they’d be most interested in doing if Bon Echo were open in the winter as well as the number of visits they’d make during a season, and how long they would stay in the region during their visit.” The deadline for completing the survey is Feb. 15 and a link to the questions can be found by visiting . “Last year we met with the Bon Echo Park superintendent and he suggested that we put together a business case for Ontario Parks to consider,” added Plumley. “Right now we’re gathering the information to see if we can make a case for the park to be open in the winter in some capacity. From there, it’s ultimately the decision of the park to decide what the best course of action will be.” Should Bon Echo Park decide to operate in winter months they would follow in the footsteps of 27 other Ontario Provincial Parks. A combination of crosscountry skiing, snowshoeing, skating, wildlife and bird watching and camping are offered at the parks throughout the winter. Bon Echo Park, which is located on Hwy 41, is home to Mazinaw Rock, hiking trails, camp sites and boat tours. It features several lakes including Mazinaw Lake, which is known as Ontario’s second deepest lake.

Raiders drop two of three to Panthers Important match looms Saturday as Napanee travels to Campbellford with second place at stake
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
ustin Boulard’s overtime winning goal Saturday night in Port Hope helped the Napanee Raiders salvage two of six points this week and remain tied for second. That 4-3 win was sandwiched between 4-1 and 64 losses at the hands of the Port Hope Panthers, who officially clinched first place with Thursday’s win. On Tuesday, the lone match of the three game set played in Napanee, the Panthers rode a streak of four unanswered goals in the second to the 6-4 win. Napanee held a 2-1 lead, courtesy power-play goals from Boulard and Mitch Pearce, early in the second before the wheels came off in a big way. The Panthers potted four goals in 11 minutes to chase starting goalie Cam Parr from the game and never lost the lead from there. They outshot the home team 15-5 in the middle frame and 37-23 overall. “Tonight in our own rink, on this ice, we didn’t play well enough,” said Raiders head coach Mike Hartwick. “We had spurts in the third period and a little bit in the first, but you can’t just play 20 minutes of a game and expect to win.” Not surprisingly the match was a hard hitting affair as the teams had seen each other three times in a span of six days. Tempers reached a boiling point at the 10 minute mark of the third when just as Pearce poked in a goal, pushing and shoving turned into punching and grabbing. Each side had two players assessed misconducts while Boulard was given a roughing after the whistle penalty. The goal made things interesting, as it cut the Panthers’ lead to 5-4 at the time with half a period to go. They’d add an empty net goal in the final minute to gain a little breathing room and eventually close out the win. “They pressured us and we didn’t have a response,” said Hartwick. “We didn’t react quick enough, we weren’t assertive enough at all at all ends of the ice. That should be our game pressuring teams, and it wasn’t tonight.” Hartwick said the team played much better on Saturday night when they secured a very important overtime win. Napanee was able to pull off the win

Port Hope’s Blake Hunter (left) brings the puck into Napanee territory while Mitch Pearce of the Raiders tries to keep him to the outside. The Panthers were in control for most of Tuesday’s game at the SPC, outshooting the home team 37-23 on their way to a 6-4 victory. despite seeing a 3-1 third period lead slip away in the final 13 minutes. Keenan Murray, Troy Wylie and Aidan Girduckis all scored for Napanee. The Panthers outshot the visitors 40-27 on the night but Parr was up to the task, making 37 saves. That win snapped a three game losing streak which reached its peak during Thursday’s 4-1 loss. Pearce scored the only goal, which came late in the first with his team already trailing 2-0. Tomo Mikuljan earned the start, stopping 22 shots. For the Panthers the win guaranteed their first top seed finish since relocating to Port Hope in 2009. They are now 27-7-1 on the year with 55 points. The last time the franchise had the Empire B League’s top regular season record was back in 2006-07 when they were the Colborne Cobras. As for Napanee, they still have a shot at the sec-
ond seed but it won’t be easy. They currently sit tied with the Campbellford Rebels, both with 41 points. The Rebels have five games left to play while the Raiders have just four. The two clubs will meet on Saturday in Campbellford for a key match up. “We’re going to have to match their intensity,” Hartwick said of the showdown with the Rebels. “It’s a tough spot to play but we have won there. We just need to think about what we did that time and keep it simple, not turn pucks over and we should be okay.” Napanee holds a 4-3 edge in the head-to-head match ups with the Rebels thus far. One more win would ensure them the tie break should they finish with the same amount of points. The Picton Pirates are still in the mix as well, sitting fourth with 37 points but six games left to play.
The Amherstview Jets are on the outside looking in with 34 points and five to play. The Raiders have hit a bump in the road at a very inopportune time, now losing five of their last seven. Even still the team need not panic too much just yet as Napanee needs any combination of two wins or two Jet losses to at least clinch a playoff berth, snapping their two year playoff drought. After Saturday’s trip to Campbellford the Raiders return home Tuesday for date with the last place Deseronto Storm. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m. at the SPC. From there the Raiders hit the road to close out the regular season, facing Picton on Feb. 5 and Amherstview on Feb. 8. If Napanee is to clinch second they’ll need to improve their road record. They are just 8-9 away from the comforts of home compared to 12-6-1 at the
Strathcona Paper Centre. On the bright side, Napanee has won at least once in all three barns they will travel to down the stretch. For his overtime winner on Saturday, Boulard is the Lennox and Addington Milk Producers Raider of the Week. As for the Storm, they gave their opponents a bit of a run for their money this week but ultimately failed to play spoiler. Hosting the Rebels on Friday they hung tough, entering the final period tied 3-3. The Storm actually held a 2-0 lead early in the second on goals from Devin MacLean and Trey Maracle. Jeff Hoey scored the Storm’s final goal, giving them a brief 3-2 lead at the time. The Rebels counted with three unanswered goals to secure the 5-3 win. The two teams met again on Saturday, this time in Campbellford. It was all Rebels in this one, skating to an 8-2 victory. Broadie Maracle and Brett
Maracle scored for the visitors. The Storm closed out the weekend with a stop in Amherstview, playing an offensively minded game very similar to that of the NHL All-Star Game, ultimately losing 11-7. The Jets did most of their damage in the second period, lighting the lamp nine times. The Storm did battle back a tiny bit, scoring three straight to cut the 11-4 lead down to 11-7. The 18 combined goals marked the highest scoring game of the Empire B League season thus far. Despite challenging their opponents for the first time in a long while, the Storm fell to 1-34 on the season. They’ll take on the Jets tomorrow night at home for a 7:30 p.m. start in advance of their Tuesday night visit to Napanee. They will host the Panthers on Feb. 6 for their final home game of the season.

assisted by Adrain. In the second the Crunch showed true team work when Brunner found the back of the net gaining a shorthanded goal, with the assist coming from Pringle. Early into the third period Alyssa McMullen got a goal with the assistance of Rebecca Hannah. The Lynx were feeling the pressure and didn’t give up, but found themselves giving Napanee a power-play. Not only did goaltender, Maddy Burgess get a shut out for the game, she assisted Brunner’s final goal, ending the game with a final score of 6-0. The peewee Crunch now await the schedule for the upcoming playoffs for the season. n Napanee’s Midget Crunch participated in the Peterborough Ice Kats Tournament early December, returning home as 'A' champions. The girls jumped into the weekend early with a 1-0 win over the North Halton Twisters courtesy of scoring from Shae-Lynn Way. Kiana Lovelace played outstanding and received the player of the game award. Later that day, they took on their toughest competition, the Peterborough Ice Kats, which the Crunch battle in the regular season standings with. The Crunch opened the scoring from assistant captain, Katlyn Babcock. However, after a back and forth game and two more goals put in by Kieran Ward and Kailey Deline, the Ice Kats came out on top, despite Izzy MacDonald’s excellent performance in net. Hats off to player of the game Allison Hannah for a solid defensive effort. The third of three guaranteed games was finished in the win column versus the Cold Creek Comets

With a 2-1 record girls entered the final day of the tournament a chance at the championship and another shot at defeating the intimidating Peterborough team. “This game would mean more than just a tournament win for the girls,” assistant coach Bre Donovan added, “it will give our girls a mental confidence boost for the regular season play versus the Peterborough team in the last game of the season instead of going into the game thinking that we’ve never been able to beat these girls before.” Captain Suzie Brazda started right from puck

Combining adrenaline, patience with the puck and her 110 per cent effort, Brazda put the first shot of the game into the back of the net to put Napanee on the board only 15 seconds into the game. This dominance continued as the Crunch team, as a whole, controlled the play for much of the entire game. One goal on the first shift of the game and a standoff effort by the defensive core and the player of the game, net minder MacDonald secured the win over the rivals and would earn the Crunch the Championship title. Next up for the midgets is the Brampton Cougars Friendship Festival Tournament, taking place this weekend.

In Trenton, Michael Lloyd scored twice, while Steven Shea and Brendan Hagerman had singles. They earned first place to face fourth seeded Whitby Blue in the first round of the OMHA playoffs. On Saturday, after falling behind 3-0 in Clarington, the boys dug down deep, as they cued the comeback with six unanswered goals in the final two frames for a 6-3 win. Hagerman scored, on a fine feed from Shea, and Nelson Powers made it 3-2, set up by Hagerman. Shea got the winner, assisted by Powers, and Kiel Benton got two unassisted goals, Team

The dynamic duo of Finn Pierce and Bailey Maracle continue to be “The Wall” in net. n The Napanee Major Atom Stars hit the SPC ice Friday with Cobourg in a crucial match up for both teams who were battling to secure the fourth and final OMHA playoff position. The visitors applied pressure in the offensive zone, but were unable to get anything past Stars goalie, Ryan Aldridge. At the two minute mark of the period Cobourg scored to take a 1-0 lead. In the third the Stars were rewarded with some power play time but they were unable to capitalize until the ninth minute when Reid Lambert got the puck to the point where Jakob Dacosta was able to find an open shooting lane and released a wrist shot that Ben Albright tipped in to tie up the game. The game ended with each team taking a single point. On Sunday the Major Atoms hosted the Lindsay Muskies in the final game of the regular season. Early in period two the Stars were able to score four consecutive goals. In the second, Lindsay was able to cut into the lead when they got a puck past call up net minder Sam Rickard who replaced Aldridge earlier in the period. The Stars scored three more to win 7-1. Scoring for the Stars was Albright (two), Lambert (two), Quinton Pierce, Ethan Marin and Zach Slaven. Assists went to Braden Bannon, (two) Mason Arthur (two), Logan Lalande (two), Albright (two), Lambert (two), Tyler Brady and Slaven.

January 26, 1975 February 4, 1999 Time speeds on, sixteen years have passed Since death its gloom, its shadow cast, Within our home where all seemed bright And took from us a shining light. We miss that light and always will, Your vacant place no one can fill, Down here we mourn but not in vain, For up in Heaven we will meet again. We will love and miss you always, Mom, Dad and your daughter Krystina xxxooo
KELLY (Schunk)
In loving memory of our dearest mother and Nana, Carole, who was suddenly taken from us on January 30, 2013. Another year has come and gone so quickly without you here! We thought of you today, But that is nothing new, We thought about you yesterday And days before that too. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, All we have are memories And a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake From which we’ll never part, God has you in His arms, We have you in our hearts. Until we meet again! Love always, Rick, Kristy, Reid, Aiden, Joel, Crystal, Jacob, Emma, Maci, Josh, Jada and Leslie.
RICHMOND - In loving memory of a dear dad, grandfather and greatgrandfather, Earl, who passed away ten years ago. Sadly missed along life’s way, Quietly remembered every day, No longer in our lives to share, But in our hearts, you’re always there. Forever loved by children, Helen, Joan, Nyle, Kevin, Janice, their families and daughter-in-law Mary.

NDCC’s novice league a hit Program to run for next seven Sundays
On the Button
apanee District Curling Club's Novice League got off to a fun start on Sunday, welcoming 17 new curlers. Thanks to Ian Munro and Dave Travers, club instructors with helpers Steve Eastlake, Don and Brenda Kerr for assisting with the start up for this league. If the next seven weeks are as fun as last Sunday all participants will have a great time, and learn to curl too. Any member who has a free Sunday evening to assist with this league should please call me. Congratulations to some of NDCC’s venturing curling teams. A trio of teams went to Brighton last weekend for their
N
Mens’ Senior Bonspiel and the team of Ed File, Brian Chadwick, Ray Snider and Al Thompson tied as the event winner while the teams of Hugh Sharpe and Walter Genereux had good games but did not make the prize table. In the other direction two teams curled in the Cataraqui Mixed Invitational with Andy Palmer, Cathy Palmer, Robert Hough and Jane Hough winning the B event while the team of Sheryl French, Darrell Scott, Guy Johnson and Karen Brant curled good games but did not proceed to the finals. Doug Pennell is organizing the club’s first ever Continental Cup to be held with 40 members, 20 male and 20 female for Sunday, March 1 and Allan Wrigglesworth is our representative for the Greater
Kingston Area Curling Association’s Continental Cup on Saturday, March 21 so look for the sign up sheets on the notice board. Those who have watched North America/Europe Continental Cup on t.v. know this will be a lot of fun. NDCC’s fundraising directors, Shelley Alkenbrack and Debbie Currie are in the planning stage of an ‘Elegant Garage Sale’ slated for April 18 at the club so when cleaning out closets put a few things aside for this popular fundraising event. Lots of action still to come at the club starting Feb. 5 at 6:00 p.m. with the club’s annual Sweetheart Dinner followed on Feb. 8 with the Ladies Club Bonspiel; then the Highland Lassie will take place on Feb. 21.
STARS | Major Atoms just miss OMHA playoffs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 The Stars finished tied for fourth with Cobourg, but with the Cougars better head-to-head record, the Stars finished in the fifth spot and will go into the Lakeshore playoffs as the number one seed to host Port Perry. n Friday, the Grays IDA Minor Atom defeated a tough Whitby Blue squad 6-3 on the road. Whitby started strong, scoring three in the first period. Taylor Gilmour scored in the second, with Owen Maracle adding one on a power play, to bring the Stars to within one. In the third, Gilmour added her second, Aiden Haller-Brady found the back of the net, and Jake Wood added two. Saturday the Minor Atoms faced off against Clarington. The Stars dominated the first two periods, with goals from Daniel Chase, Carter McKee (two), Ethan Sutcliffe and Owen Maracle. The Toros scored three goals, but Ethan Sutcliffe was able to net two more for a hat trick, and Gilmour ended off the scoring for the 8-3 win. Sunday, they hosted first place Quinte West. The Stars
were looking to end the season with a win, but, Quinte West proved why they are first in the league. Quinte got two before McKee was able to net one for the Stars, but it ended in a 4-1 loss. n The Minor Bantams were downed 4-2 by Cobourg at the SPC on Saturday. Adam Burger had a pair of goals, with assists going to Kolten Montpetit and Liam Wilkinson. In road games, they lost 3-2 to Quinte West, and 3-0 in Cobourg to close out the regular season. n The Midget Stars have faced adversity and challenges the entire season but their failure to give up finally paid off with their first win of the season Saturday, 4-1 over Cobourg. The right attitude and work ethic was in full display by all. Securing goals were Andy Scott, Riley West, an empty-netter by Tyler Thompson, and the final goal by Keegan Wayte. Earning assists were Scott, Colsen Bertrand, Kier Doyle, Brody Ford and Hudson Sheffield. A great team effort. Coach Ford said their smiles were way better
than a pay cheque. They will face Pickering in the Lakeshore Playoffs. n The Country Traditions Novices were in Trenton Saturday where they were shut out 7-0 by Quinte West.

Parents, players to vote on whether to stay ‘A’ or not Beaver Sports
Napanee District Minor Hockey is reaching out to its membership for feedback on whether or not its parents and players are content playing at the A level. Based on the results of a vote amongst its members, the executive will decide whether or not it wants to remain at the A level or put in a request to the OMHA that they be placed back in BB. Paper ballots have been distributed to its members, with
each player getting a vote. The ballots are due back by Saturday and results will be emailed to the membership the week of Feb. 2. Major peewee players who were released during a Stars tryout and currently playing rep hockey with another centre can also email the executive and request a ballot. Should the executive decide to request a move back to BB for the 2015-16 season they would still need approval from the OMHA for it to be implemented.
Napanee is currently in its second season playing at the A level, having made the jump from BB. With next season in mind, the club is now actively seeking volunteers to serve on its executive board. Anyone looking to serve on the NDMH board for the 2015-16 season has until Feb. 4 to file a nomination. The meeting for the election of officers will be held Feb. 11 at the Strathcona Paper Centre. Anyone with questions can e-mail secretary@ndmha.ca.

Event marks International Women’s Day BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
NTERNATIONAL Women’s Day is going to be celebrated in Greater Napanee this year with inspirational speakers, vendors and an open mic forum at the Strathcona Paper Centre. Wendy Oakley, a local woman, is organizing the event after seeing all that Kingston had to offer last International Women’s Day and being disappointed that Napanee lacked in the celebrations. “Last year I was in Kingston with my daughter and my granddaughter doing some shopping and I saw all these signs regarding International Women’s Day,” said Oakley. “I got here in Napanee and nothing was going on, it was like there was nobody here
I
to celebrate International Women’s Day.” The next week Oakley went to Town Hall and rented to SPC for next year’s International Women’s Day: March 8. “It was, ‘This is something I’ve ‘gotta do.’ So on the 14th of March, last year, I rented the Strathcona Paper Centre, not knowing exactly ‘what’ or ‘who’ or anything like that,” she said. Nearly a year later Oakley has booked four guest speakers, a number of original vendors and artisans, and has lined up women who plan to read poetry, articles or interesting stories. Oakley said she is still looking for more women who want to get involved in the event. “Read a poem, read a statement, get involved with the day. If somebody wants to play the flute, or
do a dramatic reading, or if they have an article they want to read regarding women then that would be welcome as well,” Oakley explained. She is also looking for more vendors; tables are $40. “It’s community awareness for women and to celebrate the ‘I am’ of womanhood in our community,” she said, “anything that’s really going to empower us as a community of women.” Guest speakers will begin around 1 p.m., offering knowledge, experience and inspiration on a variety of topics. “Lisa Bird will be speaking about historical women in the area, who were the backbone of the community,” said Oakley. “Jo Ann Spence, she’s amazing, she’s done a lot of things and she’ll be able to speak on women’s

issues. And then Helen Fraser, who is a senior who just recently published a book, she’ll be talking on that. And then a friend of mine, Anastasia Elisseou, is coming from New Brunswick, she’s a highly-sought-after IT person, and she’s a single mom,” said Oakley. The event is $2 a person and will also be accepting donations for the Lennox and Addington Interval House. All proceeds from the event will also be going to Interval House. Napanee’s first annual International Women’s Day will take place at the SPC on March 8 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To book a table, or speak at the event, contact Oakley: 613-354-5745.

KFLA Heart and Stroke chapter aims to raise $173,000
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
hances are, in the next seven minutes a Canadian will die due to heart disease or stroke. Chilling as the numbers can be, ignoring them won’t help. That’s why next month, as they do every February, canvassers for he Heart and Stroke Foundation will be going door-todoor across Canada to seek donations for life saving research as part of their Heart Month Campaign. “Our revenue goal for this office is $173,000,” said Landan BurnsKeaney, area manager for the KFL&A chapter of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. “Last year we brought in $167,000 so we’re shooting for a slight increase, which we think is very possible. We have a few more canvassers signed up. We have roughly 1,300 canvassers.” If a canvasser misses a particular household, residents can always donate

online by visiting HeartandStroke.ca/give. They can also call the local office at 613-384-2871.
“We actually had someone last week have a stroke out of the blue that same day they had seen the ad.” Landan Burns-Keaney, KFLA Heart and Stroke area manager Along with collecting funds, the canvassers are also on a mission to help raise awareness of Canada’s most deadly diseases. Each volunteer will be equipped with door hangers they can hand out to their neighbours so they can read about the early signs of the diseases. A staggering nine out of 10 Canadians have at least one risk factor and just about everyone knows
someone who has been affected by heart disease or stroke. Raising awareness is critical because time is a huge factor when it comes to limiting the severity of an attack. The sooner a victim can get in contact with a medical professional, the better their chances of surviving without any longterm complications. That’s why in conjunction with fundraising the Heart and Stroke Foundation released a series of new television and internet ads. “We had someone last week actually have a stroke out of the blue and that same day they had seen the ad,” said BurnsKeaney. “They basically were saying ‘I’m so thankful I saw it otherwise I would have dismissed being light headed or dizzy.’ They recognized the signs and had someone call 9-1-1 and the stroke didn’t do as much damage as it possibly could have.” Cases like that are a reminder to just how

important it is to educate the public on the early warning signs. “It’s nice to see people are seeing (the ads) and taking it seriously,” added Burns-Keaney. Anyone interested in volunteering as a canvasser is encouraged to call 613-384-2871, as its not too late to register for February’s Heart Month campaign. The hours are flexible. Canvassers are usually given a block of about 2025 houses and have the entire month to visit the homes. Volunteers can register by visiting the HeartandStroke.ca website. This year’s campaign is dedicated to creating more survivors. According to their website, over the last 60 years Canada’s Heart and Stroke Foundation has helped reduce the mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases by 75 per cent. Even with their work heart disease and stroke remain the leading causes of death and hospitalization for Canadians. Money raised from the campaign will go towards research and life saving equipment such as automated external defibrillators. In hopes of reducing the amount of fatalities associated with the disease they’ll be funding research facilities such as the one at Kingston’s Queen’s University. Their area of study includes not only preventing heart and stroke diseases, but helping victims cope with it. As part of their February long campaign, they’re encouraging members of the community to get involved in any way possible. Along with donating, Burns-Keaney suggests hosting local fundraisers as well throughout the year.

If you haven’t made a new year’s resolution by now, perhaps your holiday bills can act as inspiration. Resolving to reduce monthly housing costs can take the edge off those holiday expenses. January in particular is a good time to make some simple and inexpensive changes that will not only help line your pockets in the short term, but will add value to your home in the long run. Some tips to reducing January home expenses: Fill the gaps – With 40 per cent of home heat loss in winter due to air leakage, keep heat in your home by installing weather-stripping and caulking around windows. Also, consider replacing old windows with new energy efficient options (look for the Energy Rating) before next winter. Go low-flow – To reduce water consumption, replace older model showerheads and toilets with low-flow models. Warm up the old-fashioned way – Instead of cranking up the heat on cold winter nights, use flannel sheets (which are warmer than cotton sheets) and add down duvets to stay toasty. Unplug electronics and small appliances – Computers, cell phone chargers, and other electronics often use power and radiate heat even when turned off. Try plugging items into a power strip that you can use as master switch. Save on home insurance – By installing an alarm system, deadbolt locks and proper smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, you can lower the cost of your home insurance and give yourself some extra piece of mind.
