Annual festival next weekend BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Bragging rights for the town’s best chili chef will once again be on the line Jan. 17 as Greater Napanee’s Winter Chill Festival returns for another year. Spanning the entire downtown and Market Square, the festival will once again boast the Chili Challenge, horse-drawn wagon rides, Beaver Tails, children’s activities, local singers and more. The Sanford Fleming College Lindsay Logger Sports team will also return this year, showcasing a series of lumberjack skills and competitions. They cover everything from wood splitting races to a race to start a fire using just kindling and friction. Their demonstrations will be at 12:45 p.m. and 2 p.m. in the Market Square. “They were very popular last year, they put on a good show,” said Greater Napanee’s economic development co-ordinator and event organizer Lyndsay Tee.

Council wants more input OPP nab eight impaired drivers on L&A County’s official plan BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

A total of 206 OPP Festive RIDE initiatives were conducted in the Napanee, Loyalist and Kaladar region over the holiday season, catching eight drivers who were charged with being impaired and another three who were issued driver’s license suspensions. “We know that people seem to take those chances (of drinking and driving), generally as a result of the fact they are impaired,” said Napanee OPP Constable Jackie Perry. “They’re letting the alcohol or drug make the choices for them. We’re not happy that we had to arrest eight different people for having been impaired, but it shows why we need to be out there at all times of the day. Thankfully there was no injuries or fatalities involved with these eight individuals who were driving, but all it takes is one.” This year’s Festive RIDE

program launched on Nov. 24 and ran through last Friday. As a whole the OPP’s East Region saw a slight decrease in the number of individuals charged this year, with 87 impaired, ‘over 80’ or refusal-to-providesample charges laid. Last year there were 116 such charges. They did, however, suspend the licenses of 105 drivers, up from 96 in 2013/14. Although the holiday season RIDE is now completed, that doesn’t mean drivers have to be any less cautious. A RIDE check can still pop up at any time on local roadways or Hwy. 401 on ramp. “It could be some time in the morning, late at night, early afternoon or early hours of the morning,” said Perry. The OPP reminds sober drivers that they, too, have a responsibility to help keep the roads safe. They encourage anyone who spots an impaired driver to report it to 911. The same goes for anyone who encounters someone who insists on driving impaired.

PARKINSON’S SUPPORT GROUP… Napanee Parkinson’s group meets every second Tuesday of the month at the SOS building at 310 Bridge St. W. at 1:30 p.m. Light lunch will be served. Everyone welcome. For further information, contact Don Ryan at 613-354-5238.

Residential development supply provision a sticking point BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

Stone Mills council says it will want to have more input into Lennox and Addington County’s new official plan before it’s approved. Council passed a series of recommendations at its regular meeting on Monday night after receiving a report from the township’s planner, Greg Newman of McIntosh Perry Consulting, and deputy-clerk Roger Hogan. The council is asking that L&A County council give it an opportunity to provide comments on the revised version of the official plan; council also passed a motion to forward the township’s outstanding concerns with the draft official plan to county council. In 2013, L&A County was directed to develop a new official plan by the provincial government. The county is hoping to have the new plan in place by March. With the approval of the new plan, the county will also be given the power to approve local municipal official plans, official plan amendments and plans of subdivision. According to Newman, he and Hogan have interacted with the county’s planner, Nick McDonald of Meridian Planning and county staff through the official plan

development process to date. Among the township’s outstanding concerns was wording in the county’s official plan surrounding future residential development, and the need to have a 10year supply of lands for housing. Under both the provincial policy statement and in the draft official plan, that land should ideally be situated in areas of urban development where there is access to municipal water and sewer services. “So, if the county takes over responsibility for approving plans of subdivision, and you get an application from someone that wants to do a subdivision just outside the settlement boundary area of let’s say Camden East, just on the other side of the boundary, the interpretation that the county could make is that that growth, that residential development, should be directed to Greater Napanee or Loyalist Township, because that is the intended location of growth within the provincial context,” said Newman. Newman also said that if the township wanted to expand the ‘settlement area’ around a hamlet in the municipality to provide for new growth, the county might be in a position to deny such a request in order to support “the continued growth and development of urban, serviced, areas.” Newman stressed that the

new county official plan, as written, would not “prohibit or preclude” development in rural areas of Stone Mills. “As long as you can demonstrate that if there isn’t piped water and sanitary, and there isn’t an opportunity to do communal (water servicing), your only option is to do private servicing, and that’s a permissible option under the provincial policy statement,” he said. “That’s not contested in the county plan either. The thing that relates to this specific issue and this specific policy provision is accommodating a plan to have a 10-year supply — that longer-term supply — and the intent of the provincial policy statement and the county plan is to put it in an urban area.” Some council members wondered if the new county plan was venturing into areas best left to local municipalities. “Why does the county want to be involved in land-use planning in any way, other than how it would effect a county road or a county property? I don’t understand why they want to develop detailed policy about land-use planning at the county level,” councillor John Wise during discussion of the issue. Reeve Clarence Kennedy said he agreed with Wise’s comments, adding, “In my opinion, I think there is too much wording in the county plan.”

County to develop an app for tourists Program for mobile phone will assist visitors make their way around Lennox and Addington

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Touring the routes of Lennox and Addington: there’s soon going to be an app for that. Currently under development and soon to be available in the iPhone App Store by searching ‘Touring Lennox & Addington’, the app will provide easy access to maps of the county’s cycling, motorcycle and classic drives routes. From there, users can select a specific route and receive easy to follow directions. The app is just one of the many marketing strategies the county is utilizing as they prepare for the upcoming tourism season. The recent stretch of cold weather might not seem like an ideal time to start talking about cycling or motorcycle trips, but this is the time of year enthusiasts begin to map out their spring and summer time trips. In an effort to market its brand, the county will be sending representatives to a series of trade shows throughout the winter months. “This past weekend was the third time L&A has attended the North American International Motorcycle Show in Toron-

We had a lot great conversations with

riders that were looking for a new place to visit. We gave out more than 1,500 brochures and packages to reps from large riding associations, as well as small riding groups and couples that spend a lot of time on the back of their bikes dur-

ing riding season.” That show was the first on the schedule as the county plans to set up booths at the Ottawa International Motorcycle Show Feb. 1315, the Toronto International Bicycle Show March 6-8 and the Ottawa Classic and

Custom Car Show May 910. Through partnerships with the Land O’ Lakes Tourist Association, Ontario’s Highland Regional Tourism Organization and The Great Waterway Regional Tourism Organization, L&A County’s

brochures will be displayed at several trade shows in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal throughout 2015. “While at the shows, we’re talking to a lot of riders that are telling us that they’re visiting Lennox and Addington County to ride, which I think speaks well to the success of the tourism product development initiatives we’ve worked over the past few years,” added Plumley. “It’s great to hear positive feedback about our routes and how great the riding opportunities are in Lennox and Addington County. We’ve listened to what visitors are looking for and have worked hard to put together itineraries that are useful to them when they plan their trips here.” The cycling, motorcycle and classic car drive routes were developed over the last couple of years as a way to encourage visitors within a 400-kilometre radius of L&A to take a one day or weekend trip to explore the region. Each route was mapped out to highlight a diffract section of the region, whether it’s the Addington Highlands or one of its many waterways. Routes for all cyclists, riders and drivers are available at www.BestDayEver.ca.

Stone Mills Township

Township buys property around landfill, quarry Editor

TONE Mills Township has finalized a deal that effectively triples its property encompassing its landfill site and quarry north of Camden East on County Rd. 4. According to township Chief Administrative Officer Bryan Brooks, the property acquisition will give the municipality a cheaper and more reliable source of aggregate, as well as provide a bigger buffer zone between the dump and surrounding private properties. Brooks said that the township will soon begin seeking provincial approval for expanded quarrying at the site; although Brooks said he wouldn’t rule out the township seeking an expansion of the landfill at the site, the township has

S

no immediate plans to do so. “This basically triples the location in size. This takes an estimated 200acre property and turns it into a 600-acre property,” he said. The deal to buy the property around the quarry and dump was finalized on Sept. 30, 2014, and came after several years of onagain, off-again negotiations with the property’s former owner. It’s the site’s potential as a source for aggregate material that is the most important consideration for the township, Brooks said. “The real benefit to all this is the potential aggregate resource that we gain, given that our other locations are entering their second phase,” he told the Beaver in a telephone interview on Monday. “This gives us a succession plan in the future for us to have our

own aggregate resource, which is what we’ve always tried to maintain rather than buying material from private quarries. We’ve always tried to operate our own.” The township operates two other quarries, one near Centreville and one near Moscow. Given the township’s road maintenance needs, the municipality requires a yearly supply of about 50,000 tonnes of aggregate. Brooks said that while the township will be seeking an expansion to their quarry, it has not determined just how big that expansion will be, or if the township will expand it gradually in different stages. “They may choose to apply in different phases, but the actual specific application process has not even been discussed yet, as to how big we want that quarry to be. A lot of it

Odessa team added to youth football league BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Loyalist’s OPP football club will have a new name and league to call home this summer as they move to the Thousand Islands Minor Football League. Based out of Odessa’s Ernestown Secondary School, the Loyalist Mavericks club will field teams in the atom, peewee and bantam divisions. The development league is open to boys and girls born between 2001 and 2006. “It’s an instructional league, so this is where

they come to learn,” Justin Winsor, one of the Loyalist coaches, said of the league. He says no experience is required for players interested in joining the club. “We want to feed into the high schools so that when the kids go into high school they’ve played football at a certain level for a number of years so its an easier transition,” added Winsor. “A lot of the coaches involved with the Mavericks actually coach for some of the high school teams.” Along with football, Winsor says the coaches focus on developing the

character of the players. Mixing in the OPP League’s mandate, they aim to help shape more community-minded youths as well as stronger football players. Practices, which will be held twice a week, will begin in early April so long as the weather co-operates. They’ll be held at ESS. Registration for the league opens next Thursday and can be done online by visiting www.TIMFL.com. The cost is $250 for the season. The season runs from mid-April to the end of June.

Brooks said the township also hasn’t talked about an expansion of the landfill at the site. “There has been no discussion as to whether we intend to expand,” he said. “(The property purchase) gives us an opportunity to make application to (expand), but the site monitoring is where the benefit comes from in the immediate time, as it provides a larger area, but council has not discussed whether there would be an expansion and, if so, how big.” He said the current estimated lifespan of the Camden East landfill is about 20 years.

EDITORIAL

Early election? Not likely HERE continues to be speculation about whether or not Prime Minister Stephen Harper will call an early election — that is, earlier than the fixed date of Oct. 19,

T

2015. If we take the PM at his word — and we do — that’s not going to happen. In an interview with the CBC at year’s end, he said, “I can honestly tell you we’ve had not discussed at any level of changing the date. I don’t know where that’s coming from.” He was clear as can be: there won’t be an early election. But as to ‘where that’s coming from’, we have a few ideas. One is the fact that, once before, Harper ignored his own fixed election date law and called an early election in 2008. That time around, however, it was a minority government situation, and he had a “dysfunctional parliament” to blame for his decision to dissolve parliament and go to the voters. We didn’t agree with that move then, but given that minority parliaments are tenuous propositions to begin with — opposition parties can effectively force an election whenever they wish — ignoring that fixed date was easier to swallow. The conditions aren’t the same this time around. The Conservatives enjoy majority government status; the opposition parties don’t have the capability to either make parliament ‘dysfunctional’ or force the dissolution of parliament. At least on the surface, there’s nothing that could prevent the government from following through on its fixed election date. As Harper himself stated with regard to the fixed-election-date legislation he brought forward, “fixed election dates prevent governments from calling snap elections for short-term political advantage. They level the playing field for all parties and the rules are clear for everybody.” That said, there would be nothing illegal if Harper ignored the fixed election date, asked for parliament to be dissolved and went to the polls. But, if he ever elected to do so, it would be an extremely risky political gamble, one which would require a lot of political cover to pull off. Right now, the falling price of oil is producing economic uncertainty and shattering the government’s revenue estimates. The chances of seeing the budget balanced — something expected in time for this year’s federal budget — are now slim. Could these economic developments ‘force the government’s hand’ to call an early election? Harper might be able to sell that as a plausible excuse for calling an election, but it would be a heck of a gamble. More likely, an early election would be viewed (in Harper’s parlance) as the PM calling a snap election for short-term political advantage. It would also represent a stunning reversal of position, one that voters would not fail to notice. We suspect it would be critical drag on the Conservatives’ re-election hopes. We suspect Harper knows this too. Therefore, we should take this early-election speculation with a grain of salt, and get ready to vote on Oct. 19.

Letter to the Editor

Bill would restore long form census In 2010, the federal government abolished the long form census. Many believed that only genealogists and historians would be troubled by this loss, but in fact the census has been a critical tool for municipal planning, particularly for smaller communities. Other Canadian researchers are also impacted by the change, including environmentalists and health professionals who make plans for the future of all of us by comparing information from one decade to another. The Lennox and Addington Historical Society heartily endorses the legislation drafted by Kingston and the Islands MP Ted Hsu. If passed,

Bill C-626 will restore many significant activities lost in 2010. It is true that there would be some federal cost involved, but when health concerns, infrastructure planning and the environment are involved, the investment would be worth it. Moreover, the long form census will be important to historians and genealogists in the future. The society urges you to call, write or e-mail your MP, no matter the party, and ask for support for Bill C-626.

Letter to the Editor

Power Play Person of the Year choice doesn’t sit well n Dec. 17th, I tuned in to watch Power Play on CTV with Don Martin. To my utter amazement, he declared Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne the ‘Power Play Person of the Year 2014’. I choked on my muffin and spilled my coffee. I was in shock – I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing. What a joke! The next day, The Toronto Star published a list of winners and losers for 2014. Wynne was ranked No. 5 on the ‘winner’ side — Bob Hepburn of The Star made the choice. I certainly disagree 100 per cent with this choice. Imagine Wynne in the same category as Kevin Vickers, the House of Commons hero. Let me tell you or review with you all of the ‘great achievements’ that have propelled Wynne to the highest ratings of 2014, as reported in the media over the past few years. I would be hard pressed to find anyone who could do as much damage to Ontario as Wynne has done as reported in the media: n Defending the ‘quitter’ Dalton McGuinty on all of his failed programs, the least of which was the cancellation of the two gas plants just before the 2011 provincial election — for Liberal party gain — and giving him a bonus of more than $300,000 to boot. n Continuing to support Hydro management and keeping the Energy Minister and CEO of Hydro in place. It makes me wonder how poor a job one can do before getting fired. n Continuing to increase our

O

Ontario debt which had reached $300 billion — a debt we cannot afford. To put this amount into perspective, if you stack $20 bills, one on top of the other, to total $300 billion, the stack would reach a distance of 340 miles — roughly the distance from Toronto to Montreal. n Allowing those in charge of the Pan Am Games’ budget to overspend by $1 billion to date, plus a $9 million gift for foreign athletes to help with travel expenses. It should be interesting to see the final tally for this project. n Absolving the two involved with the erased gas plants emails of any consequences. Scary! What about the person who ordered the erasures? Adding insult to injury, the $10,000 plus HST used to pay Peter Faust to erase the emails was taken from the Liberal caucus funds. Can we really trust the Liberal party to repay this? n Setting up all kinds of expensive advisory groups – can she not make a decision on her own? n Allowing the sunshine list to grow exponentially! We should all have government jobs — talk about being set for life. n Charging Ontarians $1 billion per year for all-day kindergarten babysitting (which by many reports is failing miserably). n Giving teachers’ unions $486 million to keep the peace. n Failing to insist that the Ehealth screw ups be corrected. n Wanting to remove the debt retirement fee from the hydro bill, while cancelling the 10 per cent discount we previously had, costing us more every month —

does this government think we are stupid and all failed basic math? n Pledging $35 billion for infrastructure, $100 million for rural constituents and $29 billion for a transit plan. Where have the Liberals been for the past 10 years? n Wanting to set up a ridiculous pension plan for Ontario. Pensions in the hands of our provincial government would be laughable if it wasn’t so scary. n Installing Deb Matthews to curb spending – yikes! n Saying that Ottawa does not give her enough money, while the 2015 federal budget sanctioned an increase of $1.25 billion in transfer payments to Ontario. I wonder if this too will be wasted. n Throwing good money after bad for current wind turbines — how many more to come? n Allowing Dalton McGuinty back on the political scene as a lobbyist. n Increasing the aviation fuel tax, and contemplating increasing other taxes to pay for Liberal blunders. n Wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on the MaRS fiasco n Approving the extra $10 for license stickers. n Giving a raise to union employees for two of the last four years of a contract. n Failing to insist on making pension plans for electric companies sustainable. n Allowing online gaming. (Now we need a program to cure online gambling addiction). n Leading a junket to China while Ontario was falling apart.

n Failing to promote the Ring of Fire which could have brought billions of dollars to Ontario’s coffers n Giving $55 million to Honda for free. n Failing to ensure adequate testing for transport truck drivers. n Being responsible for the damning report by the Auditor General (the worst on record that I can remember) n Failing to deliver on promise to lower car insurance rates by 15 per cent but allowing insurance companies to raise house insurance rates to compensate. n Failing to regulate excessive wages to power utilities’ employees. n Ensuring we have the worst financial management rating in Canada. n Excusing the welfare snafu as a glitch, which reportedly cost us more than $5 million. n Deferring the payment of expense claims from towns for the 2013 ice storm damage until 2016. n Failing to keep companies from leaving Ontario. (Kelloggs is the most recent example). n Promising we’d save money with Hydro’s smart meters but instead, it is costing us $ billions. If a person responsible for approving/allowing all of the above can ever be considered a winner, then I wonder what one has to do to become a loser. Unless we pressure the Liberals and embarrass them enough (if that is possible), the

waste of our tax dollars will continue. How much more are you willing to tolerate before taking action? We must never forget the ineptitude of this government’s accounting/spending practices. Edmund Burke once said, “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (people) to do nothing.” Wynne recently said, “I am not sitting on my hands, you know.” I believe it is too bad that she is not, we would be much better off if she did. What should be top priority would be to get Ontario back into a healthy fiscal situation‚ and I do not believe that she understands how this can be done. Am I upset with this government? You bet I am, and I will continue to do what I can to hold them to account. I hope you will too. Remember all of the scandals? Has anyone been prosecuted? No. I wonder what would have happened to a business person that did the same in a public company. I’m sure we all know the answer to that — which prompts the question “How far up the political food chain does one have to climb to be ‘an untouchable’?” Ms. Wynne sent 43,000 Christmas cards out this year. I wonder who paid for them? And I did not get one — boo hoo! Happy New Year everyone! Pierre Cliche, Greater Napanee plcliche@sympatico.ca

Letter to the Editor

Napanee Crunch score one against cancer with memorial tournament Success! This one word sums up the Napanee Crunch ‘crunches’ cancer day in memory of Andy McGarvey on Dec. 21. This was a way to honour Andy as well as Connie, Craig, Cal and Carrie for all of the support shown over the years to the Crunch organization. He did so much and this was our way of ‘paying it forward.’ The Napanee Crunch Girls Hockey Association helped raise a whopping $2,021 for the Canadian

Cancer Society (Kingston chapter), through donations, the personal generosity of Mayor Gord Schermerhorn, Deputy Marg Mayor Isbester and the councillors of Greater Napanee for the donation of the ice rental for five hours, chuck-a-puck, 50/50 draws and a raffle (donated by Lennox and Addington Community Living). The winner of the Christmas gift basket was Jayme Ward of Kingston. The parents and fans of

both the Napanee Crunch teams as well as the opposing teams were also generous with their non-perishable food item donations for the local Salvation Army. The day began at 1 p.m. with the Novice Crunch house league girls tying the Kingston Ice Wolves Atom HL Blue team, with Alaina Holmes taking home the player of the game. Next, the Napanee Crunch Atom team beat the Clarington Flames 4-1, to continue their undefeated

season. Saige Pearson took home the player of the game. At 3 p.m. our Napanee Crunch Canwealth Veryea Sutton Peewee girls won against the Peterborough Ice Kats 1-0, with the player of the game going to Ella Pringle. The Kingston Ice Wolves Bantam BB team lost a tough battle against our Napanee Crunch Bantam B team in an exhibition game, and Chelsea Truman’s shutout earned

her the player of the game. To end a very successful day for all of our teams, the Napanee Crunch Midget Denny’s team beat the Otonabee Wolverines 2-1, with Sara Kennedy earning the player of the game. Every player wore a sticker with the name of a loved one whom they have lost to cancer or a cancer survivor. Everyone came together to make this day a success and I couldn’t have been more proud of our girls. A special thank you to

everyone who helped organize: Cathy Gillingham, Tania Granger, Krista West, Hugh Murphy, Zabrina Hannah, Courtney McCracken, the Midget, Bantam, Peewee and Atom girls for their many efforts, Shannon Marlow, Mackenzie Vermilyea, and George Wagar for his exceptional announcing. Janet Pringle, President of the Napanee Crunch Female Hockey Association

Staff picks: Forgiveness Phyllis Strain of the Amherstview Branch of the County of Lennox and Addington Libraries recently read Forgiveness, a true story by debut author Mark Sakamoto. “It is the heart-rending true story of two families on either side of the Second World War and a moving tribute to the nature of forgiveness,” says Phyllis. “I recently read this book and was moved very much by it. It made me cry, angry and marvel at the spirit of survival and what you will endure to come out of a horrible situation.

“When WWII breaks out, one of the author’s grandparents leaves the quiet of the Magdalene Islands to end up

Catherine Coles Coles’ Notes in a Japanese Prisoner of War Camp while another is ordered out of her home in Vancouver and shipped off to work on a farm in rural Alberta,” Phyllis explains. “Both endure the kind of hardship, starvation and misery we can only hope and

pray will never be repeated. Although they both survived, they had to start again to rebuild their lives from nothing. The book tells their stories of learning to forgive and to go on with life. It follows them through successes and failures of their careers and families. It then goes on to relate how years later their grandchildren meet at university and fall in love. “Although I have read and studied the history of this time, it gave me a fresh appreciation of what our fighting men and women endured so that I could live

in peace and freedom,” she adds. “It made me realize how much we can go through and still come out human beings with feelings and morals. It is not an easy or light read but well worth reading. It is well written and a great tribute to the author’s grandparents.” You can reserve this title at any branch of the library or online at www.countylibrary.ca. Catherine Coles is the manager of library services for Lennox and Addington County.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago January 13, 1965 n What could have been a tragedy turned out to be no more than a breakdown of communications. Emergency crews responded to a report of a local teen falling into the icy Napanee River at Springside Park. However, the boy was pulled out of the water by a friend before police and firefighters arrived on the scene. They were about to begin dragging operations in the river when the teen and his friend came back to the scene to let them know he was OK. n Incoming Napanee Mayor Lorne Smart said there was at least one practice of his predecessor, Glenn Herrington, that he wouldn’t be adopting moving forward: holding closed meetings. Before the recent municipal election, Herrington had said “as long as I am mayor, we will continue to hold closed meetings whenever the need arises.” However, when asked by a council member to go behind closed doors at one of the first meetings of the new council, Smart said he saw no need to hold closed sessions.

35 Years Ago January 10, 1980 n A possible internal challenge to incumbent federal Progressive Conservative MP Bill Vankoughnet proved to be a mirage. Vankoughnet easily won the local nomination contest. Local provincial PC MPP and former provincial cabinet minister James Taylor did not challenge for the nomination, despite speculation heading into the meeting. Two other PCs did line up to challenge Vankoughent at the nomination meeting in Northbrook: Queen’s University technician Norman Williamson and Kingston lawyer and Harrowsmith resident Mike Bourassa. However, with some 308 of 388 ballots cast, Vankoughnet easily won the party’s nod for the upcoming federal election. n The town was getting ready for its annual Winter Carnival next month. According to the carnival’s co-ordinator Glenn Gillott, there were a lot of details still to be worked out. Some of the events on tap included a skating day at the arena hosted by the Napanee Kinsmen. There would also be a Napanee Winter Carinval Queen contest at NDSS, and a performance by the Napanee Citizen Band. The Royal Canadian Legion in Napanee would also host an open dart tournament at the branch.

The Sydney Opera House is second-most photographed structure in the world, behind the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

The Taj Mahal of public spaces In an effort to understand how impactful botanical gardens can be on a city and its people, I have travelled to several of them in the last year. Here is my report. This past autumn I had the opportunity to travel to Australia and New Zealand with my friend Dave, who had business ‘down under’. My business was more ‘monkey’ business than anything as I wanted to check out the trees and gardens in the major urban centres for myself. I had never been to this part of the world before. And yes, there were monkey puzzle trees there. Royal Botanical Gardens, Melbourne Our first stop was Melbourne, located in the southern half of this large continent/country on the east coast. When we were there in late October it was early spring (everything down there is reverse of ours). Rhododendrons were in full and glorious bloom, as were azaleas, lilacs and a host of plants that I didn’t recognize. Writing and broadcasting about gardens for a few years now, I often receive more credit than I deserve as a gardening ‘expert’. For the most part, I recognized plants in Australia from my experience with them as indoor, tropical species or I just, as was more often the case, simply didn’t have a clue. The Royal Botanical Gardens in Melbourne are huge at 363 hectares or 897 acres. They are located more or less central to the oldest part of the city, which

makes sense as the British away. Take all of the features colonialists that settled there almost 200 years ago of the Melbourne botanical saw fit to sequester land on gardens, as described above the fringe of the early set- (this saves you time and the tlement for the purpose of Beaver a lot of paper) and creating a botanical garden add to it the natural feature in 1846.

than 3 million people visited the site last year. I saw evidence of their success by the huge number of people using the park the day that we were there. There were many languages spoken, as we strolled down the meandering paths, indicating that people from other parts of the world were drawn here, as I was, to see the place and absorb the atmosphere that is unique to botanical gardens around the world. It is hard for me to find the words to properly describe this place. Alas, if you have not been, this is one for your bucket list. If you have been, you get to live with the memories. Like the Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu, Disneyland, and the Tower of London, these gardens are iconic in the way that the Sydney Opera House is (which, by the way, is the second most photographed structure in the world; the Eiffel Tower is No. 1). The point is not that the Aussies have all the answers, but that someone or some group of people decided that setting this land aside for public use was a good idea. A long time ago! The Melbourne site was established in 1846, Sydney in 1811. This occurred at a time when the cities were in their embryonic stages of development.

Spinning a yarn about pioneer life BY ADAM PRUDHOMME

The timing couldn’t have been better as not only did the cold weather arrive in full force this week but also, according to the Chinese zodiac, 2015 will be the Year of the Sheep. Those two themes were spun together for the title of the event, known as ‘Keeping Warm: Year of the Sheep’. “Starting from the fibre, we talk about washing it, picking at it to get the vegetable matter out,

Youngsters received a hands-on history lesson at the Lennox and Addington Museum and Archives on Saturday as they learned how people prepared for winter centuries ago. Spinner Margaret Duncan and weaver Alison Ginn were on hand to demonstrate how to use a spinning wheel and loom.

then using the hand card to get the fibres going in the direction you want and ready for spinning,” said Duncan. “Spinning involves twisting which gives it strength so you can use the drop spindle or you can use the wheel.” Each of the children in attendance had a turn at using the spinning the wheel and operating the loom. While learning how the old machines worked, they also got a bit of back-

Ice Warning

OPP officers say they would like to encourage everyone to assess and be aware of conditions before venturing out on ice covered bodies of water. The provincial force reminds that ice is never 100 per cent safe, even though you may have tested the thickness. If you do venture out on the ice, they advise that you follow these tips to help keep yourself safe. n Check the weather — Do not go out on warm or stormy days n Do not travel on ice if you have consumed alcohol or drugs n Do not travel on ice alone

or in the dark n Keep away from unfamiliar paths or ice n Never go out on the ice alone — always have a buddy with you n Always let someone know your destination and time of return n Children should be accompanied by an adult when out on the ice n Carry a small survival kit on your person, including ice picks, rope, a lighter, waterproof matches, magnesium fire starter, pocket knife, compass and whistle n Ice is constantly changing in response to weather and water conditions and is effected by many different factors including thickness, currents, age of the ice, pressure cracks and snow cover. The East Region OPP encourage everyone to stay off the ice when conditions are obviously dangerous especially in the early winter and late spring; if in doubt, don’t go out.

That applied to both genders. “The boys are very much interested in the machines,” said Duncan, referring to the loom.

For most local kids however, a demonstration like Saturday’s museum event is their first look at how wool was spun. “In the past when it was all rural you were surrounded by this sort of thing,” said Duncan. “But that’s not the case anymore. It’s totally new to (kids).”

So if you think of the sails on the Viking ships, that was all hand spun. That was all they had.” The tradition still lives on in many South American countries, says Dun-

New crash course on ‘B&B’ operation on offer BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Veteran bed-and-breakfast operators Stefan and Wendy Schuster will bring their knowledge to the region later this month as they host a pair of B&B ‘Boot Camps’ in Napanee and Sharbot Lake. Covering everything from financial feasibility to living the B&B lifestyle, the one-day session is designed to answer any questions that anyone who has ever considered opening a B&B might have.

“The whole idea is to help people realize that it is work but it can be lots of fun,” said Wendy, who along with her husband have operated Hillcrest House in Waterloo for 13 years and have been hosting workshops since 2007. “We kind of point out the realities and share a lot of our experiences.” She says opening up one’s home to strangers isn’t for everyone and their workshop might open up their eyes to things they hadn’t considered. “Some do get a bit of a surprise but they’re think-

ing more in terms of a business and being able to get away from it sometimes,” she said. “It’s more of a lifestyle.” The workshops will be held on Jan. 30 at Sharbot Lake’s St. Lawrence College Employment Centre from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. and on Jan. 31 at the Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives in Napanee from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.. Schuster says the Boot Camp session is also a great refresher course for even experienced B&B operators to perhaps pick

up some tips on marketing, menus and financials. The sessions are hosted by the County of Lennox and Addington. They’re hoping more residents will consider operating a B&B to compliment some of their local tourist attractions, such as the Dark Sky Viewing Area, cycling trails and waterways. The workshop will be tailored in a

way that addresses both the benefits and challenges a local B&B operator would face. The cost of the workshop is $20 per person or $30 a couple. Those who attend the workshop and go on to open a B&B within the year will receive a half-price, one-year membership with B&B Canada and a free one-year mem-

bership with Land O’Lakes Tourist Association. The deadline to register for the B&B Boot Camp is Jan. 21. To register or for more information contact L&A County community development officer Rob Plumley at 613-354-4883 ext. 3271 or by e-mailing rplumley@lennox-addington.on.ca.

There is a $60 entry fee for each team. Chili chefs will also duke it out, hoping to earn the most votes for their creation. Local celebrities will serve up the chili creations and the chefs will remain anonymous until the winner is selected. For $5, members of the public get unlimited access to the chili tent and can cast their vote for their favourite dish. They also receive a ceramic mug with their ticket purchase. “We’ll find out who has the best chili this year,” said Tee. “The competition is getting pretty tight.” All chili entries must be prepared in a kitchen that has been certified by a health-and-safety inspector. The town can provide access to one at the Strathcona Paper Centre or Selby Community Hall if necessary. A list of all ingredients must also be supplied.

Council OKs purchase of new information software iCompass application will allow for better tracking and transparency with public, staff says BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

Stone Mills Township is embarking on a new information technology initiative that, if successful, will make council business and affairs more accessible to ratepayers. At its regular meeting

on Monday night, council approved the purchase of iCompass software, a program used in many other Ontario municipalities; the application will electronically compile, track and publish agenda packages and minutes not only for council members but the public as well. The initial cost to pur-

chase the software is $7,000, with an ongoing annual cost of $2,675. Township Chief Administrative Officer Bryan Brooks said the company will also provide “unlimited” training for staff, council members and even members of the public in the first year as part of the purchase price. The program is already being used by Greater Napanee. In his written report to council, Brooks said that, in adopting the program, the software will provide “an improved accountable and transparent keeping of meeting agendas, minutes and the correspondence following.” He said that the program will come with a few other benefits, including the reduction of printing costs — the CAO estimated that

This week, Prince EdwardHastings MP Daryl Kramp announced the launch of the 2015 Canada History Awards — and invited local history students and teachers to participate. The Government of Canada History Awards consist of awards for students in grades 10 and 11, and awards for high school teachers. Under the program, students have to submit a 1,000–1,200 word essay

based on one of five challenging questions, and teachers have to submit a classroom project on one of three themes. The students’ questions deal with the broad subjects of ‘The Historians’ and their use of primary source material; ‘Louis Riel and Sir John A. Macdonald’; ‘Women and War’; ‘Arctic Exploration’ and ‘Symbols of Canada’. The next deadline for student and teacher submissions is April 17.

bers of the public would be able to register with iCompass in order to be alerted any time a new document becomes available on the site. The information compiled in iCompass will also be accessible by council members on the eight iPad Mini tablets the township has already purchased. “The intent is that all council members would have their own (iPads),” Brooks said at the meeting. Brooks said after the meeting that he anticipates the new system will be upand-running by next month. “The benefit of this software is that it’s far easier to track progress of reports, et cetera,” Brooks told council. “For example, if the public works manager submits a report but isn’t necessarily at the meeting, he can log in

the next morning and see what the status or the resolution of that report is.” Ultimately, he said, “it’s really more (a piece of) tracking software to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.” “I think it’s a step forward,” said councillor John Wise. “Everything comes with a cost I guess. All I thought about when we were talking about iPads was all the paper we’d save, I wasn’t thinking about programs. But I really think this speaks to something we talk about endlessly: not only better communication and quicker communication among staff and council, but for the public. The website is fine, but this will be so much easier and quicker to navigate for specific councilrelated items. That alone sells the idea for me.”

the move would save 25,000 pages of paper. Council members will no longer have printed agenda packages sent to them before every meeting; instead, they will access the agenda and any accompanying materials through the iCompass online portal. “In addition to in-house improved tracking purposes, the module provides for an extension to the municipal website to allow members of the public to see the correspondence that council can view in its original unedited view as soon as the package is available for public viewing,” Brooks said in his report. “Also, there is a searchable PDF option in case any council member or member of the public would like to search historical data.” Brooks said that mem-

Two national winners will be selected from the winning students’ essays and will be presented with a Governor General’s History Award medal. The awards themselves are a relatively new devel-

opment. The awards were first launched in February 2014, and 100 students and 20 high school teachers across the country received awards in the inaugural event. “I am very proud of our Government of Canada History Award,” said Kramp. “The awards are a wonderful opportunity to learn about and share Canada’s rich history. I would like to invite all eligible students and teachers to take part in the 2015 awards.”

Red hot Raiders stave off Rebels in 6-0 win Napanee picks up fifth straight win and builds a four-point cushion over third-place C’ford

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

am Parr received all the offensive support he needed just two minutes into Tuesday’s game, helping his Napanee Raiders to a crucial 6-0 win over the visiting Campbellford Rebels. Josh Murphy provided that goal while Parr turned away 31 shots to secure two very important points for the home team. With the win the Raiders push their lead to four points over the third place Rebels. “He didn’t get much work in the first, but I know in the second and third he did, especially on their power-play,” Raiders head coach Mike Hartwick said of Parr. “He made some big saves when it was five-on-three in the second period and in the third he made a few big saves on their power-play. That was huge.” Parr saw just five shots in the first 20 minutes but 16 and 10 respectively over the final frames. The Rebels also had six powerplays. Napanee used a steady, balanced attack on offense

scoring by flipping the puck over falling Rebels' goalie Cole Mahoney, who was scrambling after a cou-

ple of quick shots earlier in the play. Jordan Cannons doubled the lead late in the first on the power-play.

Troy Wylie and Kyle Murphy each scored two minutes apart in the second while Brandon Nadeau

and Wylie sewed up the win with goals in the third. Napanee’s final three tallies came on the manadvantage, giving them four on 12 chances for the night. The game took a decidedly chippy turn midway through the game, as several plays ended with scrums after the whistle. Tensions reached a boiling point in the second when Napanee's Nicolas Schuler and Campbellford’s Josh Hodge began trading punches, each earning an early exit from the game. “We play each other so many times, it’s only natural that sometimes it could get chippy, I was happy with our response when things did start up,” said Hartwick. “Guys went in and stuck up for each other and Big Schu stuck up for the team and did what he had to do which was good to see.” The win was Napanee’s fifth in a row and third consecutive shutout victory. Individually it was Parr’s fourth clean sheet in 11 games, placing him alone in the league lead for that category.

No white flags waving for beleaguered Deseronto Storm Despite short bench and 1-29 record, club owner says Storm has no plans to fold

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Though the final scores of their games might be ugly, the Deseronto Storm are committed to playing out their remaining Empire B League Junior C hockey schedule. That was the message team owner Adam Maracle conveyed following Friday’s 9-0 defeat at the hands of the visiting Picton Pirates, marking the team’s 24th consecutive loss. Rumours of an impending folding began to swirl around the club late last month after they were forced to forfeit their Dec. 20 road match against the Port Hope Panthers due to a lack of players. Since then, however, they have iced a team for two straight games, albeit with barely enough skaters for two lines, in a 6-0 loss on Dec. 30 in Napanee followed by Friday's 9-0 defeat. Saturday's game against the Campbellford Rebels was postponed, however that was due to road conditions.

The league opted to postpone all games this weekend rather than risk travel on icy roads. “I told the boys, my future’s is in your hands,” Maracle said following Friday's game. “You’ve got to show up or there’s going to be no team and they all agreed.” Injuries, suspensions and even a few players who have quit the team have left the club struggling to fill a bench on game days. Maracle says the Ontario Hockey Association has made matters worse by freezing his roster, meaning he can’t add players. He hopes to find out later this week if and when he’ll be able to add players. “Once they unfreeze my roster I can get players that want to be here to finish the year and start fresh for next year,” added Maracle. The few players who do show up on a nightly basis are forced to take several shifts with few breaks between, making it next to impossible for the team to compete. In Friday's game they

were down 5-0 after the first period and by the end of the night they were outshot 58-21. Picton’s Corey Prince led the charge with three goals, Nolan Van Vlack had two while Miles Levtov, Curtis Colbary, Phil Smith and Mitch Merry had singles. Nick Kazmierczak recorded his first career Junior C shutout. Aaron Young took the loss but did finish with 49 saves. If there was a bright side, it was that the Storm accumulated just 18 minutes of penalties on six infractions and killed five of seven power-plays. The team had developed a bit of a rowdy reputation earlier in the year as frustrations began to mount during the prolonged losing streak. Maracle says going forward the team is strictly interested in being as competitive as possible given the circumstances. “Let’s not come in here with negative attitudes and be scrappy,” Maracle says of what he told the team. “Let’s come here and finish strong and build for next year and they were all

Deseronto’s Aaron Young makes a glove save during Friday’s game against the Pirates, one of 49 he made during his team’s 9-0 defeat. on the same page with that.” As a whole, they still boast nearly 300 more minutes worth of time in the sin bin compared to Port Hope, the second most

penalized team at 945 to 662. Now 1-29 on the year, the Storm have 10 games left as they play out the string. Even with a miracle 10-0 run, they would still

fall short of the playoffs. They are in Picton this evening and return home tomorrow night to host the Amherstview Jets. Puck drop for both games is 7:30 p.m.

Major Bantam Stars win 10th straight Beaver Sports

he Napanee Firelight Major Bantams won their 10th in a row (19-5-1), eking out a 2-1 victory in Kingston last Sunday. Trailing in the second, Adam Doyle scored from a goalmouth scramble to make it 1-1. The boys held a wide margin in play, outshooting their opponents 41-14, but waited until 7.6 seconds remained before Steven Shea scored on an excellent pass from Brendan Hagerman. The win puts them a point out of first place in Lakeshore. On Saturday, in Lindsay, they played a solid game, winning 5-3. Hagerman scored twice, and set up Michael Lloyd for a 3-1 lead after two periods. Nelson Powers had a pair of assists, with singles to Kiel Benton, Cal Doyle, and Alex Brady. Sadly, Spencer Chatterton suffered a broken leg in the second, and will be out of action. In the third, Benton scored from Ethan Winter and Kyle Weese, his second point of the night. Eric Joyner’s low blast from the point, on a feed from Ryan McLay, eluded the netminder to round out the scoring. The boys travel to an Ottawa tournament this weekend. n The Country Traditions Napanee Stars Novice A team made their way to Whitby on Saturday in the snowy weather to face the Wildcats Blue team. In a rough battled game the boys were able to come away with a big 3-0 win. Aiden Vallier recorded the shutout. Zered Haller scored the first Napanee goal unassisted. The next two were scored by Seth Rivers and assists went to Nolan Cardinal and Duncan Clarke. All the boys

played a great game but Napanee’s defence really had an outstanding game especially when the pressure was turned on. The team faces Lindsay and Whitby White this weekend. n The Major Atom Stars visited Lindsay on Saturday. It took the Stars the first period to get their feet under them being out shot 5-0. Zach Slaven opened the scoring when he went end to end and beat the goalie. Three minutes later Reid Lambert added to the lead. Two minutes into the third, Tyler Brady scored his first of the season, and Lambert scored two goals 13 seconds apart to preserve the 5 - 0 win. Assisting for the Stars were Quinton Pierce, Logan Lalande and Ben Albright. On Sunday the locals hosted Ajax. The Stars opened the scoring with Lalande slipping the puck past the goalie on the short side. The second saw both teams get into penalty trouble, but neither team could take advantage of some power play time. With five minutes left in the middle stanza and Napanee killing a penalty, the tandem of Albright and Ethan Martin created a turn over on the forecheck, and Albright got the puck back to Jakob Dacosta on the point and he was able to find a lane and released a shot to beat the goalie between the legs. The Stars shut down their opponents allowing only two shots in the third to finish with a 2-0 win. Goaltender Ryan Aldridge’s two shut outs give him five on the season. n With just one game last week the Gray’s IDA Minor Atom A Stars (11-8-5) looked to capture another victory at home as they played host to Kingston, in their third meeting, with the previous match-ups resulting in a tie and a vic-

tory for the Stars. The back and forth game saw Napanee get on the board first when Carter McKee scored an early goal. The Canadiens pulled ahead in the second, until Aiden Haller-Brady tied it up again. Things picked up in the third period with a flurry of goals when Kingston scored to pull ahead once more. The Stars lit up the third, with Owen Maracle, Carter McKee (two) and Ethan Sutcliffe scoring back-toback goals, assisted by Daniel Chase (two) and Jake Wood. Unfortunately, the Canadiens were able to score two more late in the third after adding the extra attacker, resulting in a 5-5 tie during this high scoring affair. The team plays in Clarington on Sunday. n Facing a talented Port Perry squad, the Napanee Chiropractic.com Minor Peewees were able to score late to earn a 3-3 tie. Down by two, Issac Uens and Caden Holmes each scored on the power play to bring the score back even. Connor Brooks, Ryan Cunningham, and Dylan Bailey had assists. With 2:22 remaining Josh Reid got the equalizer from Holmes and Bailey to gain a point. n Recently, The McCaw Mortgage Team MD 7 Napanee Stars attended the Quinte West Highway of Hero’s Tournament playing up in the Novice Division. The Stars swept the tournament winning the Novice A Division with 27 goals for and three goals against across three games. In League play in Belleville, Dylan Kemp got the Stars on the board in the second. Throughout the second the Stars racked up four penalties, and were able to successfully kill each one. Once again in the third Kemp was able to bury on a pass from Owen

Rivers, but Belleville responded tying the game at 2-2. Matthew Airhart was able to move the puck to Mason Goodfellow for the game winner at 3-2. Napanee Crunch n The CanWealth Veryea Sutton Peewee C team had a snowy weekend on the road, but as Canadians, they were undeterred by Mother Nature. Saturday the girls faced the strong Bancroft Jets, whose team spirt was brought down a notch with an unassisted goal by Lauren Sutton in the first period. The Napanee goaltender, Maddy Burgess was away, so stepping up to the plate was team captain, Hannah Phillips. She worked wonders between the pipes all game long. Unfortunately, The Jets’ speed and stick handling got a couple past Hannah, finishing the game with a 2-1 loss for Napanee. The team all put up a great fight, with Leah Carscallen and Kelsey Vermilyea putting in extra efforts in Saturday’s game. To make it for an extra special weekend, on Sunday, the team travelled to Ennismore. With Burgess back in the net, the girls worked hard with their fore-checking and getting on the puck right away. Scoring in the first period, Chloe Brunner made an amazing goal off the top of the goaltender’s helmet and into the net. Shortly after, Carscallen taking the pass from Sutton and found the back of the net to take a 2-0 lead. Finishing off the first for a 3-0 lead, Phillps got an unassisted, shorthanded goal. It didn't end there as the second period was more of the same. Phillips got her second goal of the game with eight minutes on the clock followed by Ella Pringle taking the assist from Laura Hagerman for the fifth goal of the game. The Ennismore Eagles did come back to score one in the third, but was a bit late to catch up to the Crunch, resulting in a 5-1 win. n The Atom Crunch travelled to Clarington to face a tough team ready to battle. Napanee’s Myla Pearson opened the scoring with a shot from the point, assisted by Kristen Sutton to put the Crunch ahead early. That was erased by a pair of goals by Clarington, leaving the Crunch trailing by one with under two minutes left in the game. Sutton, receiving a pass from Pearson, took a hard shot and picked up her own rebound wrapping around the net to tuck it in past the netminder tying the game up at two apiece, which went on to be the final score.

MEMORIAMS

CAIRNS - In loving memory of a wonderful husband, father and grandpa, Bill, who passed away on January 9, 2007. 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 your picture in a frame, Your memory is our keepsake From which we’ll never part, God has you in His arms, We have you in our hearts. Always loved and never forgotten, your wife Marlene, Tami, Tony and Marissa, Rick, Gen, Liam and Becky.

FENWICK, RON

In loving memory of a dear brother, uncle and great-uncle who passed away five years ago today, January 13, 2010. We stood beside your bedside, Our hearts were sad and sore, They tended you with loving care, Until they could do no more, Now while midnight stars are shining Upon your silent grave, Beneath it sleeps the one we love And the one they could not save, If sunflowers grow in Heaven, Lord Please pick a bunch for us, Tell him we love him and miss him And when he turns to smile Place a kiss upon his cheek And hold him for a while, Now Father up in Heaven, Don’t leave him all alone, Just love him up in Heaven As we loved him here at home. “RON, YOU WERE THE GREATEST.” Sadly missed, but never forgotten. Love always, brother Jim, Shirley and their family

HAGGERTY - In memory of a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, John, who passed away January 14, 2013. Silent thoughts of times together, Hold memories that will last forever, Close in our hearts you will always stay. Loved by wife Nina, sons, Gerald, Vernon, Dan and families.

You left us beautiful memories. Your love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Never forgotten, love always and forever, Loving wife Alice, Gaetanne, Eric, Lisa and Mike and grandkids xoxo

If you have been in a relationship for some time, now is a great time to talk about the future of that relationship. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) You harbor desire to spend some time alone this week, Cancer. You are a social person, but even you need some moments to retreat into your own mind for a while.

Last but not least was the Tuesday Up&At’Em winner Ed File, Moira Sickling, Don Kerr, Martha Downey by a narrow margin to runner ups Walter Genereux, Steve Anderson, Shirley MacDonald and Liz Griffiths. This league always shows about five teams in the running right down to the last game. Although the training on Sunday was cancelled due to weather conditions the directors want to thank our club instructors Gayle Johnson, Ian Munro, Don Currier, John Ryan and skip instructor Andy Palmer for their willingness to assist our members. Chris Goody thanks Don Currier and Jim Stapley for taking time over the holidays to ‘freshen’ the ice we curl on. The Senior Men’s Bonspiel is next with a full slate of 16 teams this Saturday followed by a new Open Bonspiel Jan. 24

hosted by Allan Wrigglesworth (379-2790). This bonspiel is open to men, women or any combination of four players for members and non members alike plus you can find full details on the website www.ndcc.ca . The ever popular Sweetheart Dinner is slated for Feb. 5 with convenor Michele Penner and then the annual Ladies Club Bonspiel on Feb. 8 with convenor Moira Sickling. Sign up sheets on all the above are or soon will be on the easel at the entrance. This season the club is hoping to make curling the sport to be in for those who have never tried it before by starting a Novice League on Sundays, starting Jan. 25 for eight weeks. Full details are in a classified ad in the Napanee Beaver. If you would like a flyer to circulate at your workplace please call me Sandy Eastlake 613-3547138.

RAIDERS | Parr earns league best fourth shutout CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 He’s 9-2 since joining the team in early November with a .904 save percentage. Tuesday’s game was Napanee's only game of the week as their Saturday meeting in Port Hope was postponed due to weather. That meant Napanee has

played just twice since Dec. 20. They’ll have little time to savour their latest win as this Saturday they head to Campbellford for a rematch with the Rebels. On Tuesday they return home to host the Amherstview Jets for a 7:30 p.m. puck drop. After Saturday’s game

they’ll have just 10 games remaining as they enter the home stretch. “They’ll be ready to go on Saturday, I know that for a fact,� Hartwick said of his opponents, noting that their lopsided win on Tuesday will mean little come the next game. “It’s a totally different barn in their rink and they’ll be ready to

go and we’ll have to be ready as well.� Meanwhile off the ice the team orchestrated a trade, dealing defenseman Jag Masters to the Jets for future considerations. He had a goal and two assists in 24 games. For his shutout Parr is the Ontario Milk Producers Raider of the Week.

Starting January 1, 2015, vehicle owners wishing to purchase or attach farm plates to a new commercial vehicle over 3000 kg will need to provide documentation to demonstrate that they have a farm business. Only those clients purchasing or attaching new farm plates to a vehicle will be required to show proof of farm business as of January 1, 2015. The new requirements will not affect any current farm plate owners who are renewing their farm plates. What documentation do I have to show to prove I have a farm business? Your Farm Business Registration (FBR) number is proof that you run a farm business. Any one of the following documents will prove that you have an FBR: • A farm organization membership card; • A Gross Farm Income Exemption Certificate; • A letter from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Appeal Tribunal indicating religious exemption; • A letter from Agricorp with your FBR number; or • A letter from the Indian Agriculture Program of Ontario confirming that the producer has met the FBR eligibility requirements. Why is the Ministry of Transportation making these changes? Ontario's Auditor General (OAG), in its 2012 annual report on the Drive Clean Program and the 2013 annual report on ServiceOntario, noted an increasing number of vehicles with farm plates and was concerned that no verification is required to obtain farm plates. In both audit reports, the OAG recommended the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) review the requirements for obtaining a farm plate, to ensure that no abuse of the system was taking place. As a result, MTO is implementing new requirements for issuing or attaching farm plates to a commercial vehicle. This will ensure that only qualified farmers obtain farm plates and receive the benefits associated with having a farm plate. For more information: About the Farm Business Registration program, please contact Agricorp. Their Contact Centre is open Monday to Friday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be reached by calling 1-888-247-4999 or TTY: 1-877-275-1380. Their email address is: contact@agricorp.com.

Recovery Strategy for the Golden-winged Warbler

Programme de rétablissement de la Paruline à ailes dorées

Environment Canada has proposed a Recovery Strategy for the threatened Golden-winged Warbler, as required under the federal Species at Risk Act.

Environnement Canada a proposé un programme de rétablissement pour la Paruline à ailes dorées, espèce menacée, tel que l’exige la Loi sur les espèces en péril.

In Canada, the Golden-winged Warbler is found only during the breeding season (from around May to August) in the provinces of Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec (with limited breeding in Saskatchewan).

Au Canada, la Paruline à ailes dorées n’est présente que durant la saison de reproduction (de mai à août environ) dans les provinces du Manitoba, de l’Ontario et du Québec (en plus d’une reproduction limitée en Saskatchewan).

The proposed recovery strategy outlines steps to conserve the Golden-winged Warbler and identifies areas of critical habitat important for the species recovery. Critical habitat for this species consists of:

Le programme de rétablissement proposé décrit les mesures qui seraient prises pour protéger la Paruline à ailes dorées et identifie les habitats essentiels pour son rétablissement. L’habitat essentiel pour cette espèce consiste en :

• habitat that the birds need to carry out life cycle activities (e.g., breeding and foraging); and,

• un habitat dont les oiseaux ont besoin pour mener à bien les activités de leur cycle de vie (p. ex., la reproduction et la recherche de nourriture);

• suitable habitat areas where there is evidence that the birds breed.

• des zones d’habitat convenables où il est attesté que les oiseaux vont se reproduire.

The Species at Risk Act seeks to protect critical habitat from being destroyed. You are invited to comment on the proposed recovery strategy for the Golden-winged Warbler and get involved in its recovery. View the strategy and provide your comments online at www.sararegistry.gc.ca (click on link in “New Publications & Reports” section). For more information, please contact: Canadian Wildlife Service – Ontario Environment Canada 4905 Dufferin Street Toronto ON M3H 5T4 Email: Speciesatrisk_ontario@ec.gc.ca Fax: 416-739-5845

La Loi sur les espèces en péril a pour objectif d’empêcher la destruction des habitats essentiels. Nous vous invitons à commenter le programme de rétablissement proposé pour la Paruline à ailes dorées et à participer à son rétablissement. Vous pouvez consulter le programme et nous faire part de vos commentaires en ligne, sur le site www.registrelep.gc.ca (cliquez sur le lien dans la section « Nouvelles publications et rapports »).

Please provide your comments by March 1, 2015.

FINAL WEEK FOR

Roadway fatalities down across region

0% 84

Lowest number of deaths in last five years Beaver Staff

Despite the fact that there were fewer fatal crashes and deaths on the roads they patrol in eastern Ontario, the OPP say there’s still more that can be done to keep those numbers on a downward trend. And on that score, the OPP are looking to motorists for help. “Deaths on our highways are a needless result of distracted driving, alcohol, aggressive driving, speeding and failing to wear a seatbelt. Driving defensively within the posted limits and being focused will further assist in making our highways even safer,” said Chief Superintendent Daniel Redmond, East

Regional Commander for the OPP. According to numbers released by the OPP’s East Region yesterday, there were 45 fatal vehicle crashes on eastern Ontario roads in 2014, compared to 46 crashes in 2013. In 2012, there were 63 crashes; in 2011 there were 49 crashes, and in 2010 there were 53 crashes. There were a total of 48 people killed in highway crashes last year, down from 52 in 2013. Over the last five years, roadway deaths spiked in 2012 with 74 deaths. Of the fatal crashes in 2014, eight were alcohol related, and five were seatbelt related. There were 13 alcohol-related deaths and

13 seatbelt-related deaths in 2013. The downward trend was also seen in the local area encompassing the Napanee, Loyalist and Kaladar detachment areas. In 2014, there were four fatal crashes resulting in five deaths. One crash was alcohol related, while no deaths were attributed to failure to wear seatbelts. Those numbers are down from 2013, where there were six fatal crashes that resulted in seven deaths. Two of those crashes were alcohol related, and one was seatbelt related. The OPP said that while the Festive RIDE campaign is over, the force will continue to “focus resources on our highways.”

MCC - Buying a home is simultaneously exciting and stressful. Owning a home is still a dream for many people, but first-time buyers often find that their unfamiliarity with the home buying process is a source of stress. Part of that stress stems from the terminology associated with home mortgages. Many terms may raise an eyebrow among first-time buyers, so the following are a few mortgage terms buyers can familiarize themselves with to facilitate the process of buying their own homes.

• Escrow: Escrow is a bond, deed, document or money kept in the custody of a third party until a real estate transaction has been completed. In addition, escrow accounts are used to hold the property tax and insurance fees that are collected via your monthly mortgage payment.

• Fixed-rate mortgage: A fixed-rate mortgage, unlike an adjustable rate mortgage, is one in which the interest rate on the mortgage remains the same for the life of the loan. Buyers typically prefer a fixed-rate mortgage because they know exactly what they will be paying for their home each month. An adjustable rate mortgage, often referred to as an ARM loan, is one that typically comes with a lower interest rate than a fixed-rate mortgage, but that lower rate is usually only locked in for a relatively brief period of time, such as one year. Once that initial time period is over, the interest rate will then increase and may increase several times thereafter over the life of the loan. • PMI: PMI, which stands for private mortgage insurance, must be purchased by home buyers who are financing more than 80 percent of their homes. The standard down payment when purchasing a home is 20 percent, but some buyers cannot afford such a down payment. As a result, the lender then mandates that such buyers purchase PMI, which protects the lenders if the borrower defaults on the loan. The cost of PMI will be added to your mortgage payment, and once you have 20 percent equity in your home you can cancel PMI, at which time your monthly mortgage payment will decrease.

• Title insurance: Title insurance is a tool that protects both the buyer and the seller against legal issues that may arise as a result of the home's title. Title insurance protects buyers and the lender from the possibility that the seller was not legally permitted to transfer ownership of the property to the buyer. Title insurance may also protect sellers from any issues that may arise that threaten his or her ability to sell the home.

• Closing costs: Buying a home is expensive, and part of that expense is the closing costs. Any time a real estate transaction occurs, that transaction is accompanied by certain expenses, which are known as the closing costs. Closing costs may include attorney fees, loan origination fees, title insurance and escrow payments. Buyers can sometimes negotiate with the seller so the seller will agree to pay the closing costs, or the costs can be shared by the buyer and the seller. But buyers may also pay the closing costs in their entirety on their own.
