Committee scratches surface of tax policy issues BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Municipal services used by, and offered to, urban and rural residents are to be closely examined by the Taxation Policy Review Committee next month. The committee discussed 13 municipalities’ tax rates during a meeting Tuesday evening, which ranged in size, services and tax rates. Committee members agreed services should

be reviewed in order to determine fair tax rates for all residents. The committee was under the consensus that one base tax rate, with surcharges for services available in each area, might be the best way for the municipality to proceed. Hubert Hogle explained doing so would be very similar to the way Greater Napanee’s urban and rural tax rates are done now, except instead of offering a discount to rural residents who receive

fewer services, the municipality would offer surcharges for services offered. “Napanee offers a rural discount. Discounts are not permitted; Section 307 of the Municipal Act says everybody pays the same rate. Section 326 says you can have separate surcharges for particular services in particular areas… It has to be a surcharge in order to comply with the Municipal Act,” said Hogle. “Almost all municipalities have a basic tax and

then they pay for services they get; a surcharge for services they receive,” Ted Davie added. “It would be much easier to add it on rather than take it off.” Davie said because services vary from area to area, the municipality might need to reconsider the urban and rural split and break down the municipality into different areas, then determine which services are in each area and charge residents accordingly. “The areas for all of these services, because they do vary, is really important and maybe one of our biggest problems in order to make it reasonably fair and easy to administer,” Davie said. Police, fire, water and sewer, streetlights, sidewalks, road cleaning, snow clearing, parks and recreation, and roads were some of the services discussed Tuesday. However, most agreed that larger budget items should be the focus. “(Policing) is one of the largest expenses the municipality has,” said Davie, adding that information on where police service most frequently is called on could help determine surcharge rates for residents. “Because police is such a large cost figure, I believe it may well be the only thing we have to sort out in the end. The rest of them are quite small in terms of determining the cost for taxation. I would like to tackle that first because it may make the rest of it seem not worth our while,”

Davie said. Leslie Howell agreed that the committee should focus on larger budget items before it needs to report back to council. “I don’t know if we want to concentrate on the smaller items; for example, streetlights are about one per cent of the budget overall. I don’t know if there’s a significant savings there so maybe we can look at other areas. And we all use streetlights when we’re driving,” Howell said. Hogle said the municipality has to “draw a line somewhere” to determine service surcharges; however, admitted some services will be easier to calculate than others. “Someone has to take a magic marker and take a map of Greater Napanee and draw a green line around the areas that deserve to get a higher rating for police, and that’s where the problem comes in for all of what we’ve discussed tonight. Some of them are very simple; street lighting is one, it’s very simple to determine where the street lighting starts and stops,” said Hogle. “When you get into some of these other services, it gets very difficult to pick up your magic market and draw a line with it where they start and stop and that’s where we’re going to get into problems.” Davie argued that even though parks and recreation is available to all residents, those in the urban

area benefit from these services more than those in the rural areas, who must drive up to a half-hour to use them. Axel Thesberg asked the committee chair, Gary Scandlan, of Watson & Co., to gather information on services provided in different areas in Greater Napanee and report back at the next meeting. Thesberg identified four questions/concerns he wanted Scandlan to research for each service and bring back the answers to the next meeting. The first was: is there a “describable difference” for the service in rural and urban areas; second, can the difference in cost be measured; three, can a “reasonable boundary be laid out”; and four, for Scandlan to provide ideas and advice on how to proceed with different tax rates if services vary. “What are possible ways of allocating those costs at a reasonable basis for a difference in tax bases?” Thesberg asked. Scandlan said he would talk to staff and compile information for the committee’s Feb. 2 meeting. Tuesday’s committee meeting was attended by 16 residents; including Greater Napanee Ward 4 Councillor Carol Harvey, Ward 5 Councillor Shaune Lucas, and Deputy Mayor Marg Isbester. The next Taxation Policy Review Committee meetings are set for Feb. 2 and Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. in the council chambers.

Suspect arrested in car theft Beaver Staff

Napanee OPP have made an arrest relating to a car theft that took place just before Christmas. On Dec. 23, officers with the Napanee OPP responded to a report of a theft of a black Jeep Liberty from the Strathcona Paper Centre parking lot in Napanee. The vehicle was located later that morning by Fron-

tenac OPP travelling southbound on Hwy. 38 near Hinchinbrooke Road. The driver failed to stop for police. Just after 11 a.m. the same day, an officer with the Loyalist OPP located the stolen vehicle exiting at County Rd. 6 from Highway 401. Police say they attempted to stop the vehicle but the driver continued after failing to stop at the

Napanee OPP have subsequently charged a 22year-old Stone Mills Township woman with theft of a motor vehicle, two counts of flight from police and two counts of dangerous driving.

L&A Hospital history book set to be released

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

First editions of a historical book celebrating the Lennox and Addington County General Hospital’s 50th anniversary will be released in two weeks. A book launch and volunteer services event will be held in the Airhart Room at the LACGH on Jan. 21, starting at 1:30 p.m. Local Volunteer Services provincial life members will also be acknowledged at the event. Ernie Doughty, LACGH foundation board member and author of the 50th anniversary book, said it was a three-year process that consisted of compiling archival documents and interviewing past and present employees and volunteers. Though the hospital was built in 1966, Doughty’s research goes even further back in time. The book includes plans and meeting minutes dating back to

when discussions on building the hospital began. “From 1958 from when the hospital was first talked about, through to into the turn of the century,” Doughty said. “People who are working here now wrote sections in the book on nursing for 50 years and different aspects. I’ve called it ‘a historical review, and then some,’” Doughty added. Robert Paul, chair of the LACGH Foundation, said discussions about developing a history book of the hospital began with a $20,000 donation. After that, the board asked Doughty to compile the information and write the book, which is now being printed. “We had all kinds of records and archival material, fortunately two retired nurses from here had accumulated it chronologically,” Doughty said. The book launch event will also include special recognition to hospital volunteers. “Our volunteers — vol-

unteers in the hospital, on the foundation board, board of directors, committees — they’re part of our people. It’s all of our people that make our hospital what it is. It’s nice to have a nice building but if you don’t have the right people inside of that building, you’re not successful,” said Peggy Rice, chair of the hospital board. Also on Jan. 21, three local longtime volunteers will be awarded with Provincial Life Memberships. They are Maria Stebelsky, Donna Armstrong and her husband Robert (Bob) Armstrong, who recently passed away. To celebrate 50 years, the LACGH foundation has planned a celebration each month for 2016. Following this month’s book launch the LACGH foundation will host the second annual gala on Feb. 11. In March, a wellness event will be held. In April, all retired employees will be invited to the hospital for a reunion. Volunteers will be celebrated in May with a dinner.

Quinte Conservation urges caution around ice Beaver Staff

The recent cold snap might have caused some lakes and rivers to ice over — but that ice is far from safe, Quinte Conservation warns. The conservation authority issued a press release yesterday alerting local residents to water and ice conditions. “In spite of

the cold spell, it is unlikely that local ice conditions are safe for any recreational activity,” said Quinte Conservation Manager Terry Murphy. “Warmer temperatures are forecast for the end of the week which will cause ice conditions to worsen.” Murphy went on to advise that local residents

stay off all ice-covered water bodies, and to remind children about the dangers of playing on or near ice-covered surfaces or fast-flowing water in ditches and smaller creeks. The conservation authority also warned that stream banks should be avoided throughout the winter.

Picturing Our Community

The path ahead for the Tories

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

It’s still a long time before the next federal election, but much ink has been spilled with speculation as to how the Conservative Party of Canada Combined in 1965 will rebound (or not) from the federal election of with The Napanee last fall. Will it be the start of a long exile in the Express (EST. 1861) political wilderness, or will it be a limited stay and The Deseronto on the opposition benches? Post (EST. 1904) Much will certainly depend, of course, on how the governing Liberals under Justin Trudeau An independent perform — he could make the Conservatives’ job much easier, or much more difficult. However, community besides giving Trudeau and his government a bumpy ride in the House of Commons on a daily newspaper basis, there’s not much the Conservatives can do to change Liberal fortunes in the short term. JEAN MORRISON Recent polls suggest that the honeymoon is still OWNER & on for Trudeau; that will come to an end in time, PUBLISHER but it hasn’t ended yet. The biggest challenge/opportunity ahead for SALES MANAGER the Conservatives in making a comeback is SCOTT JOHNSTON choosing a new leader.

An example of an Elsie de Wolfe interior. avoiding mediocrity. She was obviously well ahead of her time. During her many trips to Europe, and especially France, Elsie absorbed the French style of living. She studied the art of entertaining, learning about the food, arts and fashion. All the elements unique and special to the European lifestyle, Elsie brought with her and introduced to American society. “Be pretty if you can, be witty if you must, but be gracious if it kills you.” Elsie De Wolfe achieved what most woman of her

time could not even fathom. She became a living legend of the fashionable life. A trendsetter, a taste maker, an inventor, and even a revolutionary; that was Elsie. Her influences in style, elegance, practically and the art of living remain an important influences even in the contemporary society of today.

Staff Picks: Pretending to Dance “Growing up in Morrison Ridge, North Carolina with her biological father Graham and adoptive mother Nora, Molly feels loved and contented. An open adoption makes Molly’s family dynamics unique; her birth mother also lives on the land that Molly’s relatives have lived on for generations. Molly adores her father who has Multiple Sclerosis and is fiercely protective of him. She lovingly helps her mother and his aide care for him. Events of one fateful night leave Molly devastated and her innocence betrayed when her first taste of young love goes terribly awry. Happenings of that same night, involving her beloved father, destroy her family unit and change Molly’s life forever. “I would suggest this

Marg Wood from the Napanee Branch Library recently enjoyed reading Pretending to Dance by Diane Chamberlain. “Chamberlain artfully weaves the compelling story of Molly Arnette from the very start of Pretending to Dance with the opening line ‘I am a good liar’,” says Marg. “The story is told from the perspective of 14year-old Molly and adult Molly in alternating chapters. Molly and her husband Aidan have begun the process of adoption after a devastating miscarriage and subsequent hysterectomy leaves them unable to conceive. Molly fears that her unconventional upbringing and family secrets will be a detriment to the adoption process and she wrestles with what information she should divulge.

n Prizes were awarded in five categories for Christmas lighting over the holiday season. Napanee Councillor Donald Reid announced that the town’s competition was won by the following: best Nativity scene went to Mrs. R. Pidgeon of West Street; best decorated house (any type) went to Frank MacDonnell of York Street; best commercial Christmas went to Napanee TV; best Santa went to Thomas Webb of Graham Street and best ‘fantasy’ decoration went to Walter Gerow of Simcoe Street. The judges for the contest were W.F. Barrett, Mrs. Thomas Stimpson, Hugh Ramsay and Jack Dale. n The Napanee Royal Canadian Legion Branch 137 inducted its new slate of officers for the upcoming term. Wes Alkenbrack retired from the post of secretary to take on the president’s role, succeeding Edgar Elliott. After taking over, Alkenbrack had the following words for his fellow members: “I pledge to do my best as president of this branch in 1966 — but it won’t mean a thing if you, as members, don’t pledge to do your best in 1966 too.”

30 Years Ago January 2, 1986

n Lennox and Addington County council backed new measures to fight gypsy moth infestations around the region. The Ontario Minister of Natural Resources, Vince Kerrio, was gathering support from around the province for a spraying program to combat the spread of the insect. At its most recent meeting, county council passed a resolution of support for the program. The resolution had originally been put forward by Sydney Township, but L&A voted to endorse the resolution. The plan called for the spraying of Crown land and, if requested, private property. n It appeared as though those convicted of drunk driving stood a greater chance of facing more severe sentences. Following the lead set by a recent decision by the Ontario Court of Appeal, Napanee Provincial Court Judge Peter Coulson said that those found guilty of drunk driving would face greater penalties for their actions. He made the comments while sentencing a woman convicted of impaired driving. “The Ontario Court of Appeal has said the sentences should discourage all drinking and driving and it is my obligation to do something positive about that; that means raising the ante, of course.”

Interval House looks to form pet fostering program BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Pets can often be a forgotten victim in domestic violence situations as women are forced to leave them behind when they seek the safety of agencies like Lennox and Addingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Interval House. Though the shelter canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept pets, Interval House is hoping to establish a network of volunteers that can. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do so as part of a pet photo fundraiser, held on Jan. 23 at Paulmacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pet Store. Along with selling pet portraits from photographer Becky Hinch, the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelter will also have a table set up for anyone who wants to volunteer as a pet foster home. They would agree to house a pet for a couple of weeks while the petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner found a safe living arrangement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pet ownership is a barrier sometimes to leaving a domestic violence situation,â&#x20AC;? said Jen Whalen of L&A Interval House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why) weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to

try and create a foster list.â&#x20AC;? Multiple victims have stated they have stayed in a dangerous situation with an abusive partner because they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to take their pets with them to a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelter. Because of a wide variety of reasons, the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelter simply canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow pets to be housed at their facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Canadian shelters, 60 per cent of women have stated that their family pet has been harmed by their abuser,â&#x20AC;? said Whalen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes women stay or delay leaving because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re afraid somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen to their pet.â&#x20AC;? For many, boarding the pet isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an option due to financial limitations. By hosting the pet portrait fundraiser theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to raise awareness of their new initiative as well as some money to cover the costs of shots, food and carriers needed to temporarily house the displaced pets. The cost is $5 for one photo or $10 for three, with the proceeds going to Inter-

val House. Pet owners have the option of being in the photo with their pet or just simply a close up of their furry friend. The photo session, as well as the in-store sign up, will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Paulmacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which is located inside the Napanee Mall. For anyone interested in being a pet foster parent but who is unable to attend the event, they can call 613354-0808 for more information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big thing is to create a safe space for the pets so that women can leave domestic violence sooner,â&#x20AC;? said Whalen. To her knowledge, Whalen says when the Napanee pet foster program gets up and running it would be the first of its kind in the province. L&A Interval House is a shelter that provides a safe temporary living space for abused women and their children with trained staff on hand to assist in counselling, crisis intervention and safety planning.

Donations make new operating room possible BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

An operating room will be fully equipped and functioning at the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre within the week. Leah Birmingham, SPWC assistant director and registered veterinary technician, said a final donation came in Christmas Eve, which exceeded the funds necessary to get the operating room fully functioning. SPWC began a crowdfunding online fundraiser in mid-December to help raise $6,000 to finish the operating room. Items needed included a gas anesthetic machine, proper lighting and operating tools. By Dec. 23 $3,530 had been raised by 48 people. Local retired OPP sergeant Guy Dine provided a $3,000 donation to SPWC on Christmas Eve. Right after Christmas, Birmingham purchased an anesthetic machine and it was delivered before the New Year. Final touches are being completed this week and Birmingham expects the operating room will be fully functioning by midJanuary. Birmingham said a proper operating room at SPWC would benefit the animals greatly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier on them all around as far as gassing anesthesia versus injecting,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we will be able to have more go

under a knife, quick sedation, and come back around and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a much gentler way of coming back around.â&#x20AC;? Before the new SPWC animal hospital was built, when operating was done on site Birmingham said the environment was far from ideal. Everything was done in a small shed and in the same room as other animals being fed, cleaned and cared for. Now, with a new, sterile operating room, animals will receive better care and Birmingham said fewer animals would need to be taken off site to a veterinarian clinic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you picture the way we used to have to do things, which was in and amongst the same room with people prepping food and feeding animals, it was less than ideal. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I liken it to battlefield medicine. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always that potential in that environment in introducing bacteria or introducing something that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there,â&#x20AC;? said Birmingham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult with the previous type of anesthetic, we were often having to top it up and give them more of the injectable type and that can be very dangerous for a critical care patient.â&#x20AC;? The SPWC helped over 2,800 wild animals last year, ranging from birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians. With demands rising, the SPWC is looking into hiring another registered veterinarian technician this year. For more information on the SPWC, visit www.sandypineswildlife.org.

Caroline Gurnsey’s March Break plans include air travel to warmer climes, but it’ll be anything but a relaxing vacation. In fact, it’ll be quite the opposite — which is perfectly fine with her. That’s because the Grade 12 NDSS student has signed up to assist with a Helping Cope Through Hope mission in povertystricken Uganda. She’ll be there from March 1-23, helping Tom and Cheryl Martin on an outreach mission. “A lot of the things I’ll be doing while I’m with Tom and Cheryl, they have a lot of orphanages there,” said Gurnsey. “I’ll be going to help in those in small communities. I’ll be bringing two full bags full of supplies that Tom and Cheryl have given me to give to (those in need). It’s full of eye glasses, school supplies, that sort of stuff.” Already well-traveled, Gurnsey has toured parts of Europe and Honduras. While visiting the latter she had the opportunity to deliver school supplies to those in need. “I’ve done a lot of travelling through my childhood,” said Gurnsey. “The travelling and helping just gives me a high.” Though none of her previous travels figure to be quite like her 23-day stay in Uganda, she’s ready to embrace the challenge. “Tom and Cheryl have talked to me a little bit about what it’s going to be like there,” said Gurnsey. “It’s a very poor, small

community. So there’s a lot of help needed, which is something I enjoy to do.” She enjoys it so much she’s already looking into making it her profession. “One of the careers I want to pursue is Nursing Without Borders, which is sort of like Doctors Without Borders,” said Gurnsey. “Essentially I want to go to school for nursing and hopefully I can find a program that does this sort of thing with missions.” To help cover her travel costs Gurnsey has been working two jobs and will be holding a pair of fundraisers on Jan. 25 at the Napanee Crabby Joe’s. She’s currently selling $10 tickets for a spaghetti night dinner at the restaurant, with proceeds going towards her trip. Dinner starts at 6 p.m. Also that night, starting at 7 p.m., she will be hosting a Paint Nite event. For $45 guests will be treated to an art class in the restaurant. With a professional instructor on hand, guests will be led step by step on how create a work of art which they will get to keep at the end of the night. For more on the event visit or search Paint Nite And/ Or Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser on Facebook. For tickets or more information email CaraGurns@hotmail.com. The fundraiser has been made possible courtesy the generosity of the Napanee Crabby Joe’s. Helping Cope Through Hope is a Napanee based non-profit, non-partisan, voluntary Christian outreach organization that was founded by the Martins back in 2005. They make regular mission trips with volunteers to Peru, Zambia and Uganda.

5 Things To Consider Before Expanding Your Home MCC - Homeowners who

feel their homes are a little confined may be interested in expanding their homes to make them more comfortable and serviceable. Several questions may come to mind when homeowners are considering adding on to an existing home. Expanding a home requires careful consideration. While the end results can be spectacular, expansion is typically a long and costly process that will impede on the lifestyles of a home’s inhabitants during the renovation process. Expect loud noises, work crews and sawdust throughout the project. Depending on which areas are being renovated, residents may feel their lives are in upheaval until the expansion project has been completed. Familiarizing yourself with the expansion process and recognizing potential snags along the way can make plan-

ning and coping that much easier. 1. Many homeowners first consult with a contractor when mulling over expansions. However, you may want to speak with an architect first. He or she may be able to suggest renovations that fit with your neighbourhood and appeal to prospective buyers when you decide to sell your home in the future. 2. Visit your building inspection or municipal office to learn the local regulations. You want to ensure that any renovations you make are done in keeping with safety codes and laws. 3. While you’re thinking of your neighbours, give them the heads up on your potential plans. This way they will not be surprised by the extra noise and activity when the renovation begins. 4. Remodelling can cost anywhere from $200 to $600 per square foot added. You’ll need to figKevin Haggerty Team Leader

Rebels silence Raiders offense in 3-2 victory Napanee brings in veteran Matt Loveys to replace departing Tomo Mikuljan between the pipes BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

uantity trumped quality when describing the shots the Napanee Raiders pumped out on home ice Tuesday night, outshooting the Campbellford Rebels 55-25 but falling 3-2 on the scoreboard. The Rebels reeled off three unanswered goals-two in the first and one in the third, to offset the opening tally from Riley Steeves and a late goal from Jordan Cannons. So dominant on the shot board, Napanee actually fired more shots in the second period alone-27-than the Rebels had the entire game but still came away empty handed in the win column. Tyler Freeman was up to the task in the Rebels' net, stopping 53 on the night. “There was way too many (shots) from the perimeter,” said Raiders coach Mike Hartwick. “Guys weren’t willing enough to go between the dots to where you actually score goals. That’s what happens, it

makes life pretty easy on goalies.” Down at the other end of the ice Matt Loveys made his Raiders debut, joining the team to replace the departing Tomo Mikuljan who has returned home due to family circumstances, ending his tenure with the team. He was 7-3-1 this year with a 3.59 GAA. “He battled this year,” Hartwick said of Mikuljan. “But he just felt in his heart he had to go home. We’re happy to get Matt Loveys, he’s been a good goalie in this league and (Tuesday’s loss) was not a reflection on him. He made a good save there in the third to keep the score what it was at.” Loveys has seen time with the Picton Pirates, Deseronto Storm and Port Hope Panthers over the last two seasons, playing in 34 Empire B League games between 2013-2015 with a 6-24 record, most of that coming with a lacklustre Storm team in front of him. He'll share time with Cam Parr down the stretch for the Raiders. For the Rebels the win was just their eighth in 29

They are currently on the outside looking in of the playoff picture, sitting fifth in the league with 17 points, five back of Gananoque who holds the fourth and final seed.

Finnish Foreshadowing

The loss was a particularly disappointing one for the Raiders, who had just did themselves a huge favour Sunday night with a hard fought 5-4 overtime win on the road against the Amherstview Jets. Justynn Steven scored

the game winner just over a minute into extra time, salvaging the back-and-forth game. The two teams traded goals throughout the game, with Napanee grabbing the early lead on a power-play goal from Cannons. After the Jets potted the next two,

Tyler Romain tied it up, only to see the Jets pull ahead five minutes later. Austin Boulard and Cullen Hinds scored to give the Raiders a brief one goal lead but it wouldn’t hold, leading to 63 seconds of overtime. It marked the fourth time these two clubs had gone into OT and second time Napanee had come out on top. With their overtime win and regulation loss the Raiders are now 18-7-4 on the season with 40 points. They hold a five point edge over the third place Jets, who are 16-10-3. Both clubs have 11 games left to play. With Tuesday’s loss the Raiders can all but forget about chasing down the topseeded Port Hope Panthers, who are 23-4, holding a six point advantage and two games in hand. Napanee can attempt to keep alive a glimmer of hope of capturing that top seed this Saturday when they travel to Port Hope. On Tuesday the Raiders return home to face the Gananoque Islanders for a 7:30 p.m. date at the Strathcona Paper Centre.

Local LAX star claims bronze in Florida Ottawa club wins thrilling 13-12 game

Finland’s Kasperi Kapanen, pictured above scoring in a shootout during an exhibition game at the Strathcona Paper Centre in December 2014, was the hero at this year’s IIHF World Juniors in Helsinki, scoring the overtime gold medal winner against Russia. Kapanen was one of several members of the gold medal team who played in Napanee last year against the Czech Republic. More future Junior stars could be headed to Napanee this year as Lennox and Addington County has expressed interest in hosting another exhibition match when the 2016-17 Juniors return to Toronto and Montreal.

Tyendinaga’s Braiden Brant closed out his 2015 with an exclamation point, helping the Ottawa Nemesis field lacrosse team to a bronze medal finish at the international Dick’s Tournament of Champions, held in Tampa Bay, Fla. Brant’s team edged the Michigan Mavericks 13-12 in the Dec. 31 bronze medal game, claiming the third prize in the Rising Stars U17 division. The annual tournament represents the highest level of field lacrosse in North America for that age group. “We were in the lead for a big portion of the game

This year marked the second straight time the Nemesis had qualified for the Dick’s TOC. “Last year we didn’t do as well, I think we finished 10th or 11th,” said Brant. “It helped a lot (having been there before). We knew what to expect this year. We had a little bit of insight.” “Seeing some players that in a couple years could be playing professionally, that's an experience,” added

Brant. Among the teams he faced was the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which is comprised of some of the top players pulled from across the U.S. They went on the win the tournament though Brant said it was a bit of a consolation for the Ottawa boys that they lost to them by just two points in roundrobin play.

Strong between the posts was Makenna Marlow. n The Napanee Atom Crunch started 2016 off by beating Kingston on Saturday 4-0 at the Invista Centre. Keyra Herrington earned the shutout and Kristin Sutton, Mackenzie Tyner, Anika Moore and Lila Pringle scored goals. On Sunday at the SPC, Sutton scored a goal late in the third period and the girls tied Lindsay 1-1. n With the Eastern Ontario Minor Hockey League regular season now in the rearview mirror, the real work begins for the K&C Bobcat Services Bantam BB Stars. The Stars ended the regular season on the right note, with a pair of wins on the weekend. After beating the visiting Centre Hastings Grizzlies 10-1 on Saturday night, they travelled to Ennismore to beat the Eagles 8-1 on Sunday. On Saturday, both teams appeared sluggish after the holiday break — although, unlike the Grizzlies, the Stars still had no problem finding the back of the net. Ryan Kirkpatrick led the way in offense with two goals and four assists, while Adam Burger had two goals and three assists. Josh Cudd scored twice and assisted on two more. Both Cal DuChene and Mason Barker had two goals and an assist. Alex Ketcheson and Liam Wilkinson each registered three assists.

Mavericks readying for second season

STARS | Silver Stick ahead CONTINUED FROM PAGE 20

Youth tackle football club to hold registration Jan. 28 and 30

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

he Loyalist Mavericks youth football team’s pre-season will ramp up later this month with a pair of registration dates on Jan. 28 and Jan. 30. Open to kids aged eight to 13 of all experience levels, the Mavericks are a fullcontact team that participates in the Thousand Islands Minor Football League. The first registration will be held Jan. 28 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. with the second on Jan. 30 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., both at the Strath-

cona Paper Centre. The cost is $250 per player with a $300 equipment deposit cheque. Registration will be held on a first come, first serve basis-there is no try out. “You don’t really need any experience, and it being new to this area most of the kids don’t have (football experience),” said Mavericks team manager Dionne Winsor. This will mark the second year for the Mavericks, who plan to operate teams in the bantam (2002-03 birth year), peewee (200405) and atom (2006-07) divisions.

“We had a fantastic year,” Winsor said of the 2015 season. “For a first year and introducing it into the Napanee area, it was very successful. Winning wise, not really. But the bond and the culture that I think of for football, it was totally there. We’re excited for the next year because more people are talking about it.” Last year saw 76 kids sign up and this year they’re aiming for just over 100. The six week season, which starts in the spring, includes games held from Gananoque to Loyalist on the weekend. Practices are

held at Ernestown Secondary School on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 p.m. during the regular season. “We want to teach kids football and have them be successful, but we’re just trying to be a club where kids can be kids and play the sport,” added Winsor. To help gear up for the season the club is also hosting a youth football combine, held Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout February at Southview Public School. The cost is $40 per player with registration being held on Feb. 2 or by emailing a transfer to LoyalistMavericks@gmail.com.

Bailey Maracle got the win in net for the Stars. It was a rougher contest in the second game of the weekend. After allowing the Eagles to tie the game 1-1 in the first period, the Stars pulled away with seven unanswered goals. Burger and Kirkpatrick both scored twice and collected two assists. Nate Brant, Wilkinson and Barker all had one goal and one assist. Logan Votary scored one goal, while Ethan Joe, Keegan Makpah and Cudd all registered an assist. Murray Craig notched the victory between the pipes for Napanee. The Stars now await their playoff schedule; they don’t know when they’re

playing, but they do know they’ll be playing off against the Stirling Blues and the Prince Edward County Kings. The K&C Bobcat Services Stars also thank all those who donated to their very successful bottle drive this past Saturday in advance of their trip to Port Huron, Michigan for the Silver Stick Finals later on this month. n The Calderwood Automation Atom AE Stars ended their regular season with a 7-1 win over Brighton. The team ended up in first place with a nearly flawless season record of 201-1. They look forward to the up coming league playoffs after they head to the International Silver Stick.

sudoku Metro Creative Graphics LAST WEEK’S ANSWER

Quinte and other parties had been seeking that strict standard in their appeal of the closure plan, which had initially been approved by the Ontario Ministry of Environment in 2012. The new testing standard, along with adjustments to environmental monitoring plan and public notification provisions, now have to be incorporated into a new environmental compliance approval for the site; that new ECA will have to be developed by all parties and approved by the ERT. Although the toxicity of 1,4 dioxane is the subject of some debate, it is considered a good leachate indicator. Further, the substance has been detected in a number of wells beyond the landfill property — including some residential wells. The presence of 1,4 dioxane in drilled wells will be used to delineate the leachate plume underneath and beyond the landfill property, and will be used to define the CAZ. The leachate plume is emanating from the oldest, unlined part of the Richmond landfill, which began as an unlicensed dump in the 1950s. Ian Munro, president of the CCCTE, said his group was pleased with the ruling regarding 1,4 dioxane. He said the ruling would certainly require WM to do more work to monitor the off-

site leachate. “Basically, if you find (1,4 dioxane), you have to deal with it,” he said. The CCCTE had also appealed to the ERT to have a ‘phased’, open-ended hearing to ensure that the work required by the tribunal is carried out and to allow for any other further work to be done. However, in her ruling, Carter-Whitney ruled that once the final details of the new ECA are finalized, the ERT will come to close. “That’s the single biggest disappointment,” said Munro of the ERT’s decision to shut down once the new ECA is in place. He said that the CCCTE and other groups have had difficulty working with WM and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change in obtaining information and in getting action on issues in the past, until the tribunal became involved. With the ERT finished, Munro says he fears those problems will resurface. “Over the years, our citizens’ group has been forced to raise and expend significant funds pursuing our concerns because, in our opinion, both WM and the MOECC unjustifiably rejected recommendations made by the Concerned Citizens and their experts,” Munro said in a press release issued yesterday morning. “I am gratified that these recommendations have now been imposed by the ERT in a legally binding decision at the conclusion of this appeal process. Concerned Citizens

would like to thank our team of experts including Wilf Ruland (hydrogeology) and Dr. Poh-Gek Forkert (toxicology), our Canadian Environmental Law Association lawyer Richard Lindgren, our tireless volunteers and all who have supported us in these efforts over many years.” Echoing Munro’s concerns was MBQ Chief R. Donald Maracle. “As an independent First Nation government, the cost of these proceedings has had to be taken from funds badly needed for the operation of our community and the well-being of our residents,” he said Tuesday morning. “We are very pleased with some of the outcomes of the hearing, but very disturbed at the financial burden on our community and others. We hope the environmental protection will continue, but that the cost will ultimately be borne by the company responsible for these problems, WM.” Munro also said that the ERT process and ruling underline his group’s contention that the site is unsuitable for any further landfilling activities. At present, WM has plans for a new, separate, lined landfill near the old Richmond site that, if approved as proposed, would accept up to 400,000 tonnes of waste per years over a 20year lifespan. A representative from WM could not be reached for comment by presstime.

My top 5 garden resolutions Have you ever looked around you at the resources that you have on hand only to realize that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always make the most of them? This is the beginning of a newly minted year and I have done just that. I am doing it right now by looking out the window of my home office at a garden covered in winter snow. There it is: a place that I call home (or a part of my home) and I probably spend more time running from it than I do relishing itsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; existence. I need to change that. This year I have a new set of resolutions that are designed to squeeze more out of my gardening experience. Here is what I plan to do: Think. This year I will take the time to commit my garden to its highest purpose. I will bask in the oxygen of it and contemplate life, reflect on what is important and divert my thoughts from the day to day. I think they call this meditation. I am no good at meditation. I just get started by ruminating in my thoughts when I want to ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are we done yet? Cause I have things to do.â&#x20AC;? I made a lovely garden bench last winter and created a special place for it in my garden. I carved out a perfect view, where shrubs change colour in succession all season long, birds gorge themselves in a well placed bird feeder and my Canadian flag waves hello up in the corner of the frame. Then I never sat on it.

This year I will sit on (especially the good stuff), that bench and think. I will my favourite beer at the let you know what I come up other end of the day and I love bbq pork. This statewith. Peace. We talk a lot ment is sad evidence of how about peace. We celebrate it we have over-used the word on Canada Day and love. Truth is, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really Remembrance Day. We say love any of those things. I love my wife, family, that we are a peaceful nation. People clamour to my friends, my job and my garden. You our shores to might say escape war, that I cross conflict, prejthe line with udice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of to the things The Green File reference my garden, that are but I beg you opposite of peace. We wish no harm to to reflect with me on what a those who leave us alone garden is. The original and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shoot first. I think meaning of the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;parthat this is a good policy for adiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comes from the Persian word for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. a democratic nation.

walls best that we can, but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hide from nature. So I am going to embrace nature in 2016 like I have never done it before. Nature is most accessible in my garden. There is the door. Good bye sanitation! Quiet. My late father was famous for saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear myself think. Would you kids be quiet!â&#x20AC;? There were five of us and I was squeezed into the middle of the herd so I had to make noise in order to be noticed. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy that argument. As time passes I am more appreciative of quiet. In my garden I can hear the quiet. Wind in the trees, bumble bees buzzing, bird song and there was that moment that stood still when I was hoeing down some weeds and a hummingbird hovered over me for a moment as if to take a snap-shot of me working. When it is quiet I can hear myself think. Indeed. Mark Cullen appears on Canada AM every Wednesday morning at 8:40. He is the Lawn and Garden expert for Home Hardware.

Cozying up to the ‘Hot Stove League’ Glen R. Goodhand

Snapshots From The Past

‘Coaches Corner’, now in its 28th year, has become a veritable institution on Hockey Night in Canada. Whether viewers consider Don Cherry nothing more than a blowhard or admire his gutsy outspoken demeanor, this intermission feature keeps on trucking. It has survived a threatened lawsuit, never-ending criticism, and seeming certain removal from telecasting — but each new season ‘Grapes’ and Ron McLean, his buffering counterpart, are still there. But when Mr. Fashion was still in kindergarten the radio version of this iconic broadcast feature made its debut. When Imperial Oil took

over from General Motors to broadcast NHL hockey games, listeners were entertained during intermissions by the music of Luigi Romanelli’s Orchestra. But it became apparent that keeping their attention between periods, after Foster Hewitt’s riveting play-byplay, was imperative — and this melodious interlude just wasn’t cutting it. This led to the formation of the ‘Hot Stove League’ — a panel of knowledgeable hockey icons who provided discussions and banter about the current hockey scene, plus occasional nostalgic reminiscing. Hockey: A People’s History commented: “Conceived in 1939 as a way to keep audi-

ences warm during intermissions…” The original members of this august aggregation were Court Benson, who acted as Master of Ceremonies, Bobby Hewitson (former NHL referee and sports editor of the Toronto Telegram); Elmer Ferguson (of the Montreal Star); Harold ‘Baldy’ Cotton (former NHL star); and Wes McKnight (CFRB sports director). As time went on, Jack Dennett, another CFRB sportscaster, and, after he retired from the game in 1948, former Maple Leaf great, Syl Apps, were added as a knowledgeable latecomers. The program’s producer,

SADIE IS A SPAYED 2 YEAR OLD COONHOUND, TREEING WALKER/MIX.

Clarence Passmore, whose brainchild it was in the first place, was often driven to distraction because the members of the league were too loosey-goosey about time. Because of no predigested guidelines, they often became over-enthused about their own topics, with no thought given to drawing to a conclusion. Ferguson, especially, was a nonstop talker, and distained Passmore’s signals, which meant when it was time to ‘cut’. ‘Fergie’, as he was called, was forever pleading for more time to spin his yarns — and he had a million of them. ‘Baldy’ Cotton, the only former player of the group,

when interviewed by Rick Bolton in 1984, commented: “What general format there was usually went up in smoke once we went on the air!” He recalled a time when a baseball star was the special guest. Somewhere during the course of that segment, he was to be asked his impression about hockey. But he and Fergie got rambling on, with the result that the poor visitor never got a word in edgewise. It was also the task of these shinny prodigies to pick the ‘three stars’ of each game. More often than not this task fell to none other than Elmer Ferguson.

QUINTE CONSERVATION CONCERNED ABOUT FARMERS LOSING VALUABLE SOIL ALONG THE NAPANEE RIVER Quinte Conservation wants to help farmers along the Napanee River who may be losing valuable soil to erosion. Environmental Technician Christine Jennings says, “When the land is farmed right to the water’s edge this increases the risk of erosion and farmers can lose valuable top soil.” Jennings says, “The way to avoid this problem is for farmers to create a buffer strip of vegetation between the land being actively farmed and the water’s edge. Having a buffer acts as a filter for the surface water that runs off the land into our waterways. It also holds sediment and soils in place preventing it from washing away. We are expanding a Belleville program to help Napanee region farmers deal with this problem.” Quinte Conservation introduced a voluntary pilot project designed to financially compensate agricultural landowners who farm next to Potter’s Creek in the fall of 2015. The program is now expanding to the Napanee River. Funding will be provided as an incentive to leave flood prone areas and the river’s edge in a natural condition. Quinte Conservation is proposing to lease the land immediately adjacent to the Napanee River and take it out of tillage and crop production in order to protect the valuable soil resource. Staff will be available to assist the landowners through the process of establishing a buffer and will find out if funding

is possible to plant native trees and shrubs. Jennings adds, “The Napanee River has been identified as a contributor to phosphorus and nutrient loadings into the Bay of Quinte. We are interested in reducing phosphorus and nutrient loading as they directly contribute to the growth of algae particularly, harmful blue-green algae blooms. Landowners with agricultural property bordering on the Napanee River can play a key role in the reduction of phosphorus, nutrient loading and erosion leading to a healthier environment for the entire community.” Quinte Conservation staff will be sending out information on the new program to agricultural landowners and will also be visiting them with information. This project was undertaken with the financial support of Environment Canada and in partnership with the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan. Quinte Conservation is a community-based environmental protection agency. It serves 18 municipalities in the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee and Salmon Rivers and Prince Edward County. It provides costeffective environmental expertise and leadership. Quinte Conservation’s main goal is to create a sustainable ecosystem where people and

nature live in harmony. More information about Quinte Conservation is available at www.quinteconservation.ca.

Dashing Through The Snow

He would scribble down his choices near the end of the match, which in turn were transferred to Foster Hewitt, to be announced over the PA system. Unfortunately, by the time ‘Fergie’ was called upon to analyze his picks, he had forgotten what he had written. Inadvertently he would ramble on, raining accolades on several who had made significant contributions to the game — which amounted to an ‘eight star’ selection. When the CBC began telecasting Saturday night games, the old Hot Stove graduated to that medium. As the enclosed graphic reveals, the atmosphere was enhanced by a genuine pot-bellied stove — into which Bobby Hewitson or Syl Apps were commissioned to put wood as the program progressed. In recent years HNIC has included a ‘Satellite Hot Stove’ format. Images of hockey personalities from different cities were piped into a central location, and they functioned as if they were in that one location. Ron McLean was the host and emcee), with Eric Duhatchek (form Calgary), Scott Morrison (from Toronto), John Davidson (from New York) and Al Strachan (from New Brunswick) rounding out the cast. But it proved to be little more than a conventional panel discussion, lacking the pizzazz of the old time program.
