L&A OKs plan to take over Macpherson House Deal will keep historic home open to public BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
Before the end of the year, there will be a new owner of the Allan Macpherson House: Lennox and Addington County. The Lennox and Addington Historical Society will be transferring ownership of the historic home on Elizabeth Street in Napanee, along with all of the society’s collections, to the county, which will operate the home as part of its museum and archives department. The county will pay $1 to finalize the transfer of ownership. In fact, at the recommendation of both county staff and the historical society executive, that transfer is going to happen even sooner than expected. At its regular meeting on Monday night, L&A County council passed a motion directing the county to take over ownership of the Macpherson House no later than Nov. 28. Further, the county will also earmark $5,000 to assist the historical society in operating the Macpherson House until the county takes over ownership. According to L&A Chief Administrative Officer, who updated county council on the issue at Wednesday night’s meeting, the county had been in negotiations with the historical society for about 18 months before both county council and the historical society’s executive finalized a deal this past March to transfer ownership by Dec. 31. “In the intervening weeks since then, the executive has assessed their financial position to determine a suitable transfer date,” said Keech. However, the historical society

With county council’s commitment of $5,000, as well as a renewal of a $5,000 grant from Greater Napanee, the Macpherson House should remain open through the

our beloved Macpherson House,” Bunting said. “After 50 years, the world is a very different place, and the society no longer has the depth amongst our membership nor the financial revenues to own and operate even such a thrifty heritage site.” As part of the agreement, the county pledged to “integrate the Allan Macpherson House and Park within the operation of the

that I feel work better live. There are certain pieces that work better on recording and there’s certain pieces that will work better live. Generally live you want to be livelier and we usually do stuff with just a little more edge to it on stage.” Also confirmed to perform at the event is Circus Orange, a cirque show that combines circus acts with pyrotechnics. Among the acts they’ll perform is the Pyro Mobile, which features three aerialists that revolve around a mobile rig suspended from a crane. A wealth of local acts will also be featured, highlighting the musical diversity that that county has to offer. Award winning jazz act the Kim Pollard Band, children’s performer David Archibald, brother and sister act Sam and Emma
McNichols and county musician Dallas Daisy will all take the stage. From performing at Memphis’ Hard Rock Café for the International Blues Challenge to several shows around the area, Pollard is one of the area’s most well known acts. Archibald has been featured on both Sesame Street and Mr. Dressup and was once awarded the Heritage Youth Leaders Award from the Ontario Heritage Foundation. Sam McNichols, who plays piano, oboe, guitar and harmonica, along with his sister Sam, who sings as well as plays piano and guitar, have shared the stage with musicians such as Valdy, the Sleddogs, the Abrams Brothers and Chris Koster. Daisy is a staple at county jamborees across the province and enjoys airplay on many Canadian, American and European radio stations. During the celebration, guests will have a chance to tour the newly renovated museum and archives. “The timing is right and I can think of no better way to celebrate our 150th year then to open a new facility to help us demonstrate and display the history of Lennox and Addington County,” added Paul. “It’s a diverse county and it’s a diverse history and this new facility is going to allow us to be able to highlight that and provide a great space for our community.” The celebration will get underway at 6:30 p.m. For more information on the event visit www.County150.com.

Artists, art lovers to converge on Newburgh ruins ‘Art Among the Ruins’ returns for ninth show
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Always growing and everevolving, Newburgh’s Art Among the Ruins show and sale will return for a ninth year on June 14 with a wide variety of art on display. Surrounded by elegant gardens on the grounds of a 19th century mill located at 27 Earl St., this year’s event will see 65 artists showcasing and selling their work. That’s an all time high for the event, up 15 from last year. Featuring mostly local artists from Napanee to Kingston, they cover everything from paint to wood to glass to fashion. “We have a new media type, it’s called steampunk,” said event organizer and participating artist Stacey Anderson. “Usually visitors have a lot of fun with it because it’s new to them, but secondly they get to touch it and figure out how it all works.” Featuring the work of Tasha Thorpe, the display will include sculptures,

One of the area’s most popular cultural events, Art Among the Ruins, will return to the village of Newburgh on June 14. Artists from around the region and beyond will set up displays of their work amid the remains of a 19th-century mill on the Napanee River. paintings and other artwork created from authentic 19th century antiques. Perhaps best described as a sub-genre of science fiction, steampunk typically features a theme of re-imagined turn of the 19th centu-
ry machinery as though powered by steam. At the completely opposite of the spectrum is Sylvia Naylor. “She does a lot of dyeing and painting of fabric, but she does stitching with
a free sewing machine and a lot of landscapes,” explains Anderson. “They’re really different and neat.” Not wanting to be pigeonholed into a specific type, Anderson always
strives to have a wide variety of art types represented at the show. “Every year we get so many applications,” said Anderson. “There’s no end for the amount of people who want to participate.
We have a nice selection of new people. It’s amazing because the quality of their art is amazing, but it’s their first show. It’s a chance for people to see new things.” As with the previous Art Among the Ruins there will be demonstrations of wood turning, paper making, glass blowing, painting and weaving, among other media. “I think the parents and certainly the kids appreciate the educational factor,” added Anderson. Live bands will again fill the air with mellow music as guests tour the grounds, this year featuring a jazz band. The local Lions Club will again be working the barbecue, grilling up hamburgers to raise money for the community. Because the event draws more than 2,000 people into the village, Stone Mills council has agreed to allow organizers to alter the flow of traffic for the day, turning Earl St. into a oneway street. That’s to allow easier access for those with mobility issues. Event organizers encourage those with no problem walking to park a bit farther from the venue and free up parking space for others. The event, which has no admission charge, runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For a complete list of participating artists visit www.artamongtheruins.com.

EDITORIAL
Picturing Our Community
Why don’t more of us vote? In the final edition of the Beaver before an election, it’s been customary for us to publish an editorial urging local voters to exercise their franchise and get out and vote. And, we’re doing so again — next Thursday (or at an advanced poll between now and then), you should make a point of casting a ballot in the Ontario provincial election. It’s a right that we’ve fought for as a free society, and for our democracy to remain vibrant, we’ve got to participate in it. In today’s paper, we’ve got some extensive interviews with the four main candidates in Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington to help you make your choice; tonight, those same candidates will go head-to-head in a meeting at the Strathcona Paper Centre to provide some more context for your deliberations. But as we urge local residents to get out and vote, we do so as voter turnout — particularly in provincial elections — has steadily gone down. We can hope that voters are more motivated this time around, but that’s pretty much all it is — hope. We’ve got no reason to believe the turnout will be any better on June 12 as it was in the last election in 2011, which happened to hover around the 50 per cent mark, both locally and provincially. Indeed, if the trend persists, the turnout is going to be lower. We got a taste of how bad it might be this past Tuesday at the conclusion of the leaders’ televised debate. Moderator Steve Paikin told us all to ‘get out and vote’, but added an interesting option for unsatisfied voters: declining their ballot. That means showing up at the voting booth and effectively saying ‘none of the above’; you exercise your right to vote, but confronted with four (or more) bad options, you say ‘thanks, but no thanks.’ If we’re at the point where we’re telling voters that we know your options stink, but you should still vote even if it’s to say they all stink, we’re probably not in a very good place. So, why are more and more of us deciding not to exercise this fundamental democratic right? We’ve got a few theories, all of which might be a factor to some degree. Perhaps, it’s a ‘media’ thing. With the way our information technology works today, it’s easier for us to specialize our media consumption. It’s easier for us to listen or watch or read something other than ‘the news’ today. And, we can specialize what kind of news we receive — and if political news isn’t on your media menu, you might not be in-tune with what’s happening on the political front. And, if you’re not in tune with that, participating in an election likely isn’t top-of-mind or a top priority. Perhaps the politicians — and more specifically, the parties — are to blame. Especially in provincial and federal elections, we’re treated to the same basic message from all the parties: vote for us and prosperity and opportunity will abound; vote for the other guy, and you’ll end up with a barren hellscape of a province/country. Not surprisingly, neither outcome typically comes to pass, regardless of who ends up forming government. Perhaps, life’s too busy for politics today. Perhaps the constant barrage of scandals has left us too disappointed and disillusioned to participate. Perhaps we’re failing to underline the importance of the democratic process from generation to generation at home or at school. We’d wager that you could come up with a few of your own theories. Regardless of the factors at play, they’re still excuses rather than reasons. There’s still no good reason not to vote. Too much has been sacrificed to win and preserve that right not to use it. So, please, use it. Get out and vote.

Too many problems with BREC proposal Recent scientific evidence (agreed to by the Minstry of Environment) has established that the Richmond Landfill is leaking leachate into the groundwater far off-site. Leachate has contaminated six offsite private domestic wells, which together with a significant swath of countryside are contaminated to above limits of the Ministry of the Environment’s Reasonable Use Policy. The contaminated groundwater contains numerous chemicals, including an industrial chemical called 1,4 dioxane which has been classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a probable carcinogen. The leaking Richmond Landfill
and the proposed massive Beechwood Road Environmental Centre landfill pose a clear and present threat to the future of Greater Napanee and our closest neighbours: Tyendinaga Township, Deseronto and the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte. The Environmental Commissioner of Ontario has called it arguably one of the worst places in Ontario to build a landfill because of the complex fractured bedrock Polluting activities like massive landfills will attract other polluting industries. The lands that they occupy and adjacent lands become sacrifice zones, which suffer ongoing air quality and water
quality impacts. The Richmond Landfill is contaminating a groundwater aquifer that was once used for residential purposes and agricultural purposes like irrigation and watering livestock. The economic lifespan of BREC is 20 years. The contaminating lifespan of BREC is hundreds of years. Our agriculture and tourism industries have longevities measured in generations — so why would we undermine these long-term enterprises for the sake of 20 years of short term profit, which would be flowing to a U.S.based company?

Letter to the Editor
Tabulation of Liberals’ failures impossible to ignore Hey Kathleen Wynne, you like to play the ‘fact’ game, so let’s play! FACT: Ms. Wynne may call herself the Premier, but she was not elected by the people of Ontario. FACT: The Liberals wasted $1.1 billion to cancel the gas plants. FACT: The Liberals wasted over $1 billion on e-health. FACT: The Liberal let the ORNGE scandal get out of hand at exorbitant costs. FACT: Ms. Wynne gave in to university and college students by giving them up to a 30 per cent reduction in tuition fees, fearing they would strike. FACT: Ms. Wynne folded and worked out a secret deal with teachers to buy peace as soon as she became interim premier. FACT: The Liberals pushed a Kindergarten program at a cost of over $1 billion so that schools could raise our children — a program that reportedly is not working. FACT: The Liberals more than doubled our debt in the past nine years, to a high of $281,450,030,578.60 as of May 23 at 8:45 a.m.… and the debt clock just keeps on ticking. FACT: The Liberals badly botched the green energy program. FACT: The Liberals have increased the size of government when it was not needed. FACT: The Liberals continue to run ridiculously high deficit budgets to seemingly buy votes. FACT: The Liberals have made us a ‘have not’ province and continue to do so. FACT: The Liberals have increased our debt to a point where we pay over $25 million in interest per day. FACT: The Liberals continue to underperform in the Ministry of Health. FACT: The Liberals promised $500 million from our taxes (that we cannot afford) to support horse racing. FACT: The Liberals have reportedly given the Pembina Institute money to fight Alberta’s oil sands project. FACT: The Liberals will pay huge prices to gas plants for energy not produced when demand is low. FACT: Dalton McGuinty resigned and walked away with a retirement bonus for doing a poor job. FACT: The Liberals are planning to build a methadone Clinic near an elementary school.
FACT: The Liberals want us to pay for in-vitro fertilization. FACT: The Liberals are planning to cancel the Hydro debt retirement charge because we do not like it — but at the same time, are planning to cancel the 10 per cent discount making our costs even higher. What a deal! FACT: Liz Sandals is handing out $265 million for child-care workers saying it would cost us nothing but funds would come from the Ministry of Education. Perhaps she does not realize that the Ministry of Education is paid for my our tax money FACT: The Liberals have increased public sector jobs to 1.1 million people. FACT: The Liberals deleted emails — which is still under investigation FACT: The Liberals have taken a very weak approach to developing the ‘Ring of Fire’. These resources need to be developed immediately. An American company was hired to begin to develop these mines, but they pulled out. FACT: The Liberals ignored the Alpha Laboratories Inc. warning about not meeting standards for colorectal cancer screening. FACT: Under the Liberals, the all-day Kindergarten throws Ontario child care into crisis to the tune of $300 million. FACT: The hydro Niagara tunnel project is almost double the original estimate – now costing $1.6 billion. How can a budget be so poorly managed? FACT: The Napanee waste disposal issue has been unresolved after 10 years or more and still no decision has been made. FACT: The Liberals e-trash program has failed to keep computers and TVs out of landfills. FACT: Liberal Environment Minister John Gerretsen was demoted over the eco fee fiasco, which ended up being cancelled and cost us $18 million. FACT: In 2010, McGuinty continued adding people to his cabinet to a total of 28 while unemployment was at 8.5 per cent. FACT: Under the Liberals the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation was found to have made big mistakes for home evaluations as reported by the Ontario Auditor General. FACT: Liberals approved more than four times the amount of money promised to wind developers (13.5 cents per kilowatt hour) when the current wholesale market price for Ontario generators is only 3.3 cents.
FACT: In 2011, Liberals approved the installation of smart meters that cost $1 billion and only saved money for 20 per cent of the customers. FACT: Under the Liberals our credit rating was down-graded from AA1 to AA2. FACT: Liberals broke their promise to reduce auto insurance rates by 15 per cent. So far, this goal has not been met. FACT: Should Liberals be re-elected? If previous performance is any indication, they will saddle us with billions of dollars of more debt. FACT: Deficits in Ontario over the last 1.5 years were larger than those of all other provinces combined. FACT: We contributed to the Hydro debt charge to a total of $14.3 billion to retire a $7.8 billion debt, and worst, Hydro still has an $11.3 billion debt. What happened to our money, Ms. Wynne? FACT: Ontario Northland Railway was sold and instead of saving us $200 million, a poor decision ended up costing us $800 million. FACT: Corporate welfare! St. Albert Cheese Co-op was given $1 million and the Hawkesbury Steel Mill another $7 million. Why? Do you get the picture? Try to make a mistake of $25 on your taxes and see what happens to you. Liberals have wasted billions of dollars and nothing happens to them. I wonder why? Why anyone would believe anything the Liberals are saying is beyond me. I do not believe they are trustworthy. They only want to balance the books by 2018, which in my opinion, is ridiculous money management. Hopefully the people of Toronto will not make the same mistake as in previous years by bringing the Liberals back in office causing our debt to reach stratospheric proportions. Do you want to see your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren saddled with a debt on their backs that can never be repaid? I know I do not. Will you let this happen on June 12? Get out and vote – our kids need us. We cannot afford the extravagant Liberal give-aways that I believe they are using to get re-elected. Give Tim Hudak a chance. Based on these facts, electing Wynne is a disaster in the making.
Leachate from the Richmond Landfill is presently trucked into Napanee, pumped into the sewer system and then processed at the Napanee Water Pollution Control Plant. The provincial government only requires the analysis and treatment of a small percentage of the tens of thousands of chemicals found in leachate. As the eastern gateway to the Bay of Quinte, Greater Napanee is blessed with four beautiful waterways: the Napanee River, Long Reach, Hay Bay and Adolphus Reach. These waters bring economic benefits to our community as well as great pleasure to fisherman, boater and hikers. Why then would we allow untreated leachate chemicals to slowly build up in the water and sediments of these natural treasures? Over the years many people have invested their heart and soul, time and money into making Napanee a vibrant sports town and a place of healthy living. Many other people have committed themselves to building a top-calibre hospital we know as the Lennox and Addington County General Hospital, another beacon of healthy living. The starting point for good health is nature’s infrastructure: clean water, air and soil. If we take a healthy environment for granted when deciding what developments to support, then we undermine important priorities like sustainable economic development, cultural development and the promotion of healthy living. Napanee can do its part in managing waste by enhancing residential composting and recycling; and by attracting private investments to build a regional material separation facility or enclosed composting facility. However, the complex fractured bedrock in our region makes it an unwise and unhealthy choice for massive landfilling. Stephen Bruce Medd, Greater Napanee

Birds which call their names As I confessed in a recent column, I am not a night person. Nights and darkness are for the nocturnal of the world, of which I am not a member. I am a day person who likes early mornings. Some might argue that 4:00 a.m. when I routinely get up, is still night. However, I see it as the start of a new day, the stirring of new life and I want to be around to watch it all happen. So, here I was, again, watching as darkness fell, on a deserted, narrow side road near South Bay. I was pulled well off to the side of the road in what passes for a ditch in this part of the County where less than six inches of soil is the norm. The road is called Hilltop Road and eventually becomes Army Reserve Road as it works its way toward Point Petre from South Bay. I had measured my distance carefully from South Bay and several car tracks indicated I was in the right spot to listen for a chuckwill’s-widow that I was told would start calling at 8:45 p.m. It had been discovered initially by Kingston area birder Michael Runtz as he was doing a Birdathon in the area to raise funds
for the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory. Having never heard or seen one of these southern versions of our more familiar whippoor-will, I felt that owed it to myself to at least try. I am not a life lister with 6,000 plus species. I have a meagre 303 species on my cumulative list of bird species seen. I prefer to learn as much as I can about the few that I have seen rather than treat them as simply another tick on a checklist. At least, that’s my story. However, the chuck-will’s-widow would be a nice addition. Darkness was falling, 9 p.m. came and went, and still no sound that would translate into a chuck-will’s-widow. The wind was blowing a bit and the din of grey tree frogs calling from a nearby wetland was deafening. Had the distant call of this southern bird been drowned out? A pick-up drove by, likely the only other vehicle this uninhabited road had seen all day; it was a few minutes before the sound of gravel disappeared so I could once again focus on my quest. Suddenly, amongst the still vocal towhees, and field sparrows, and a distant whip-poor-
Terry Sprague
Outdoor Rambles will commencing to rev up, I heard it! The wind caught snatches of the song and occasionally whisked them away, but there was enough to verify its identity. I needed to hear it more clearly, so we moved further down the road from the original site where it had been calling for a week, and shut off the car again. It was much clearer now and the repetition of its name appeared to be less vigorous than that of its familiar cousin. Distance may have played a role in this or it could have been the tree
frogs, but the four syllabled call was diagnostic. We could go home now and go to bed. Like the whip-poor-will, the chuck-will’s-widow repeats its own name, tirelessly and consecutively, for seemingly hours on end. It’s a Carolinian forest breeder, and prior to 1906, had never occurred in Ontario, but did that year, at Point Pelee, and wasn’t seen again until 1964. Its arrival in eastern Ontario was heralded by an appearance west of Prince Edward Point for three consecutive years, 1976-1978, involving four singing males. Three years later, another showed up at Perth Road Village, north of Kingston, followed by another in the city of Kingston in 1984. More recently, one conveniently turned up at the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory last spring and was heard calling for three nights. The individual this spring was discovered May 19. Both the whip-poor-will and the chuck-will’s-widow and the common nighthawk, belong to a family known as nightjars, or goatsuckers. The family name ‘goatsucker’ came from folk tales
that these wide-mouthed birds sucked milk from goats at night, the observers who gave the family this undignified name having seen these birds following goats around as they snatched insects. The family name stuck. The nighthawk, because of its piercing calls and the extraordinary evolutions and gyrations of its flight, attracts even casual observers who ordinarily pay no special attention to birds. They are a little more familiar to many of us since they are often seen during the evening hours hunting for insects, unlike its cousins who tend to be active only at night. Another member, the common poorwill is smaller than even a robin, and is a bird of the western United States. Two other species, the Antilean nighthawk and the common pauraque, also members of this family, are confined to the Florida Keys and Mexico.

50 Years Ago June 3, 1964 n The decision to replace the ‘Red Ensign’ with a new Canadian flag was the subject of much debate — and The Napanee Beaver was quite clear on which side of that debate the newspaper would fall. In a front page editorial, the Beaver came out in favour of retaining the Red Ensign, which featured the Union Jack in its top lefthand corner. The Beaver also chastised Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson for embarking on a plan to replace the Red Ensign According to the opinion piece, “As his self-imposed deadline approaches, Mr. Pearson may find that the flag — symbol of unity in most lands — will become a symbol of disunity in Canada.” n Nine town lots were purchased by the Town of Deseronto for the purpose of creating a new park on the Bay of Quinte. The property had been owned by Ideal Venders, Ltd., who sold the property to the town for $900 and the cancellation of the 1964 taxes.
35 Years Ago June 6, 1979 n Four people were killed in a two-car collision on County Road 1, about half-a-mile west of Newburgh. According to the OPP, two 19-year-olds from Napanee were killed: Larry Clarence Woodcock and Michael David Lawlor. In the second vehicle, a 35-year-old Frankford woman, Lorraine Alta King, was killed, as was her two-year-old son, Jason. The accident took place at around 9:30 p.m. on a Sunday night. The driver of one of the vehicles, John King, survived the crash, as did his daughter Sherry and his son Marshall. n The fallout from the resignation of Napanee Recreation Director Harry MacDonald didn’t go unnoticed by those who used the recreation system the most: local Napanee kids. Several children — who called themselves the ‘Little Rascals’ — crammed into Napanee Town Hall to petition council to revitalize the municipality’s recreation programming. The group carried signs and placards to get its point across. Sylvia Akey and John Kerslake, the spokespeople for the group, told council that “Napanee doesn’t have enough entertainment,” and asked them if and when MacDonald would be replaced.

Editor’s Note: This is the 14th of an ongoing series provided by L&A County to mark the municipality’s 150th anniversary. This article about Lennox and Addington’s warden in 1905: William Alfred Martin. William Alfred Martin – or “Alf ”, as he was known in and out of public life – was born in the fourth concession of the Township of Richmond in 1860. He received a common s c h o o l education a n d attended the high school at Napanee for a few terms. He made the best use of his opportunities and did not lay aside his books when he returned to the farm. He moved with his parents to the Township of Camden in 1883, and upon the death of his father in 1900, inherited the farm near Moscow. Martin took an active interest in municipal politics beginning in 1892, when he was elected deputy-reeve of the Township of Camden. He repre-
sented that Township for many years, either as reeve or county commissioner/councillor. Only once was he elected, yet for 11 years he represented Camden Township in the county council. He was elected deputy-reeve the year before the Councils Act took effect, an act that formed county councils that were not members of township councils. During the 10 years that the act remained in force, Martin was the commissioner for the Second County Council Division (Camden). He served as Warden of Lennox and Addington in 1905. Martin was a man of good education, genial, a good speaker, well up in parliamentary procedure, and earned the honour which was conferred upon him, and which he was amply qualified to fill.

William Alfred Martin of Camden Township was originally born in Richmond Township before moving to the Moscow area in 1883.
Read-alikes for Evergreen readers Since the Ontario Library Association’s 2014 Evergreen Award shortlist was released in January, there has been a huge run on the nominated titles at the library. For those who have read and enjoyed any of this year’s 10 nominees (of both fiction and non-fiction), you may be interested in some of the following read-alikes; that is, books that share themes of have a similar feel. If you enjoyed An Inquiry Into Love and Death by Simone St. James, try The Shadowy Horses by Susanna Kearsley, about a young female archaeologist who has been drawn to the dark legends of the Scottish Borderlands in search of the truth buried in a rocky field by the sea. If you want a book that reads similarly to The Cat by Edeet Ravel, consider We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. Both nov-
els feature comparable narratives of mothers facing the unthinkable. Cinnamon Toast and the End of the World by Janet E. Cameron is the story of Stephen Shulevitz, a teenager trying to navigate through the dysfunction of family, friends and sexuality in 1980s Nova Scotia. Fruit by Brian Francis offers Coles’ many of the same themes. A good read-alike for Flee Fly Flown by Janet Hepburn, a novel about two friends who escape from their nursing home, is The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules by Catherina Ingelman-Sundberg. This new translation of a Swedish hit features a group of friends who break out of their nursing home to commit the crime of the century.
If you liked The Inconvenient Indian, a condensed history of natives in North America, you may want to try The Orenda by Joseph Boyden. While The Orenda is fiction, it packs in a huge amount of aboriginal history with gripping detail. If you enjoy historical true-crime like The Massey Murder by Charlotte Gray, Notes try Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood. Alias Grace is fiction but, like The Massey Murder, based on a real-life murder trial in old Toronto. Rivers of Stars by Guy Gavriel Kay is a sweeping sci-fi/fantasy family epic, similar in theme to George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series (The Game of Thrones). If you enjoyed River of Stars, Martin’s massively popular books
Catherine Coles
should be added to your toread list. If you enjoyed The Silent Wife by ASA Harrison, a high-tension psychological thriller about a married couple on the brink of separation, try Gone Girl, the very popular novel by Gillian Flynn which is set to be a movie released this fall. The Stop by Nick Saul and Andrea Curtis is a great non-fiction title that will make readers reconsider food and food banks. Similarly, Locavore by Sarah Elton will make you think more about what you put in your mouth and how it affects the world around you. All of these titles are available to reserve at the County of L&A Libraries. Catherine Coles is the Manager of Library Services for Lennox and Addington.

Deseronto
Council gets MP’s support on policing costs
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
RINCE EdwardHastings MP Daryl Kramp has provided a letter of support to the Town of Deseronto regarding increased policing costs. Kramp said he shares the municipality’s concerns and is currently looking for ways to decrease policing costs for municipalities across the province. “I have had countless discussions with local representatives regarding the dramatic and unsustainable costs of policing. With the experience of being a
P
police officer, as well as a local municipal representative, I have shared firsthand your growing concerns. Serious and extensive committee study into the matter has taken place on your behalf,” he wrote in a letter to council, dated May 14. Deseronto pays about half a million dollars in policing costs annually, and that number increases each year. “This topic is on the national agenda. Key stakeholders such as the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, the Canadian Police Association, the Canadian Association of Police Boards and the Fed-
eration of Canadian Municipalities, brought this issue to the forefront, requesting that it be addressed,” the letter from Kramp went on. “The aim of the committee’s study was to inquire into the cost drivers and challenges permeating police work today and to identify ways of reducing the overall costs of service delivery, while maintaining high standards in policing for Canadians.” Kramp explained that fair policing costs parallel the fundamental need for safety to all Canadians, making the issue difficult to address and find a solu-

tion suitable for everyone. “As public expectations continue to rise and calls for service increase, police costs are spiraling to the point where the current policing model is no longer sustainable,” the letter read. Kramp’s letter explains that the committee is reviewing federal, provin-
cial and municipal policing in Canada. “Policing is not just a question for the provinces: the RCMP is a national, provincial and municipal policing body and directly employs 26.7 per cent of police officers in Canada. It provides policing services under contract to the three territories, eight provinces,
more than 190 municipalities and 184 Aboriginal communities,” it stated. Kramp promised to promote economic growth in the letter and to work toward a solution for policing costs. Town of Deseronto council received the letter for information at its last council meeting.

Summer camps planned for Macpherson House BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
New day camp programming has been created for the Macpherson House’s summer camp this year, providing information in science and technology on topics pertaining to the town’s history. In the past, the Macpherson House has offered historic summer day camps, including traditional crafts, baking and games. House curator Karen Price said the program now offers more hands-on learning, with a focus on science. “The whole camp is going to be new. We still want to tie it in to the history of the house and who Macpherson was, but I wanted to put a little bit of a twist on it this year. Instead of just doing history, I thought, let’s try to entice a few more boys to the camp so we’re putting more of a science and technology twist on it this year, and it’s more hands-on,” said Price. “Usually we do typical crafts like tie dying, baking on the hearth, spinning, weaving, traditional stuff that goes with early pioneer life. We’re still going to do history as a component, but it’s going to (also include) the history of flight, the history of the power of the falls, those kinds of things.” Campers can participate for a week for $125 or for the day for $30. Discounts are offered for multiple children per family. Price said this year’s camp would include more guest speakers and trips exploring the community to learn about local history. The first week runs from July 7-11 and the theme is ‘Time Trekker’, which includes music, culture and life of the 1800s. “Campers will journey into history with programs that focus on different themes with activities that demonstrate how people of the past lived from day to day. Discover how people had fun without technology or electricity,” explained Price. The next camp theme is ‘Up, Up and Away’ and it runs from July 21-25. This week focuses on different stages of flight and the science of wind power. “(It’s a chance to) explore the wonders of flight as you make unique paper airplanes, build and launch homemade balloon rockets,” explained Price. During this week, children will have the opportunity to make their own sundials, stargazers, constellation finders, and conduct weather experiments. The third theme is ‘Nature in the City’ and runs from Aug. 11-15. It focuses on animals, insects, trees and flowers in and around the Macpherson House, then and now. “We will explore the creatures that live in the river, our woods and gardens. Campers will create natural habitats that will attract animals in your backyard, and find ways to help preserve the urban environment,” explained Price. During this week, participants will learn about and harvest the Macpherson House garden, make toy boats, and create bug and animal habitats. “We’ll walk down to the falls and talk about why the falls were so important to the early settlers,” added Price. The fourth and final week’s theme is ‘The Science of Daily Pioneer Life,’ and it runs from Aug. 25-29. This week will include science experience with kitchen chemistry. Camps will run Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and is geared toward children aged six to 12. To register your child, or for more information, contact Price at: info@macphersonhouse.ca or 613-354-5982.

Local OPP raffling off kayak Proceeds go toward sending youth to sailing camp this summer BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Rather than simply police next week’s Riverfront Festival, the Napanee OPP are taking on a much more involved role. Pooling their own money as well as through securing business sponsorships, officers at the local detachment are helping to fund some of the festivities as well as pay for one local teen to take part in a youth sailing camp aboard the St. Lawrence II. “This is a great thing and it’s a great way to inspire and help sponsor somebody who otherwise wouldn’t be able to go,” said Napanee OPP detachment Insp. Pat Finnegan. The OPP detachment is one of eight local agencies who will be sponsoring a local youth to take part in
the camp, which will see young sailors set sail for adventure this summer on the Gulf of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Ocean. The tall ship will dock in Napanee for the weekend and serve as the focal point of the event. Reaching out to teens is part of an ongoing initiative by the police force, hoping to create a positive relationship and proactively prevent them from falling in with the wrong crowd. “We certainly care deeply about the youth in our community,” said Finnegan. “We see this lots of times. It’s just a simple opportunity that can be the difference between somebody going down the right road and being inspired by something and developing a passion.” The idea to get involved came from Napanee OPP
Cst. Laura Teeple, who wanted to do something in memory of Nathan Richard Cowan, her late brother-inlaw and avid sailor. Along with sponsoring a teen the OPP have partnered with Drain-All, McDonalds and GT Machine and Fabricating Ltd. to host a kids’ fun day in Conservation Park, an outdoor movie night and kayak races that will be part of the Riverfront Festival. To help raise money they are also currently raffling off a kayak, which was donated by Clear Water Design. At $5 a ticket, people can enter to win the new kayak and oar that is valued at over $1,300. Tickets are currently available at the OPP detachment on 86 Advance Ave., as well as the Strathcona Paper Centre. If tickets are still available by
next week they will also be sold during the Riverfront Festival. During the June 13 weekend Riverfront Festival the OPP will also have their marine unit on hand to offer boat rides and discus boating safety. “We wanted to show that we’re a family of people who care about the community and we can do more than just police (the festival),” said Finnegan. “By sponsoring someone and participating in the fundraising we would be able to give more than just the traditional resound as a police agency that will direct traffic.” Running from June 13 to 15 the festival will be held in conjunction with the Napanee Multicultural Festival and be held in Conservation Park on the banks of the Napanee River.

Heritage Leadership Awards will be given to volunteers who collectively or individually contribute significant time and effort over several years to heritage issues, education, preservation or restoration. This includes promoting history, culture and architecture throughout the municipality. Nominations can be made for an individual, professional or organization that promotes heritage in Greater Napanee. The same person can make multiple nominations and self-nominations are accepted. The deadline to
submit nominations is 4 p.m. on June 27. Application forms are available through Greater Napanee Clerk Susan Beckel at the town hall or online through the Greater Napanee website. Once nominations are made, a committee made up of five to seven individuals will evaluate the nominations and bring forward candidates for councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval. Representatives from town council, the business community, heritage organizations and citizens at large will make up the selection committee. The mayor will provide heritage awards to the winners at a council meeting this October.
Napanee River focus for talk at Macpherson House BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
A local historian and Macpherson House volunteer will be reading her research and findings on the Napanee River, alongside some of her favourite anecdotes on the river. Barbara Roch has been studying the Napanee River for years and will be presenting her findings through an educational lecture at the Macpherson House on June 15. This event will be part of the Riverfront Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barbara Roch has done a study on the Napanee River, on the environment, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ecoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; changes and the history of it. She is going to give a lecture on the details of her research,â&#x20AC;? said Macpherson House curator, Karen Price. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speaking on the history of the river, its people and its tides.â&#x20AC;? Admission to the lecture is by donation and will run from 1-2:30 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been interested in the Napanee River and its history. She started writing a book about it and she has a whole bunch of information about it. She writes poems about the changing of the river and how the environment and the pollution are affecting the tides. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done a lot of research on it to study the changes on the river and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened in the past 10 years or so,â&#x20AC;? explained
Price. Roch said she and her husband were enthralled by the Napanee River and decided to move here years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The river has been my muse for 20 years and no doubt has enchanted many with its wild and pastoral beauty,â&#x20AC;? explained Roch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we were ready to leave (Toronto) behind, we remembered the waterfall, moved to Napanee, and never looked back.â&#x20AC;? Observing the riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural habitats and moving of the waters have occupied much of Rochâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time over the past years, while sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compiled research and literature on the river. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I took a creative writing course at the 55-Plus centre several years ago, I started writing about these experiences and those of the other river lovers,â&#x20AC;? explained Roch, who has since written a number of poems and stories, which are now preserved in local archives. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also won a library poetry contest on a poem she wrote about the Napanee River. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten much positive feedback and would like to see them published someday,â&#x20AC;? Roch went on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be reading from these collections, especially the history, at the Macpherson House.â&#x20AC;? Price said she has read many of Rochâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poems and highly recommends this lecture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read her research about the Napanee River and her poems and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really neat,â&#x20AC;? said Price.

2014 Ontario Provincial Election BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
Editor’s Note: To follow is one of four one-on-one interviews with the main candidates in the LFL&A provincial election campaign. Included are the questions asked by the interviewer, followed by the candidate’s answers. Some answers have been edited for length. This is your third time around as a candidate. How is it going so far? Excellent. The campaign is always a good time. It’s also a busy time because there still are a great number of people who have problems with the administration of government and the bureaucracy, so in addition to campaigning, my office is still open to assist people. Technically, I’m not the MPP because parliament is dissolved, but regardless, my office continues to do constituency work during the campaign. How does it compare to the last few campaigns in terms of what you’re hearing from people or the tenor of people’s comments? There are a lot of similarities. Where the biggest difference is, in 2011, we had seen a number of scandals, we had seen a number of wasteful, dishonest practices, but these are much more acute, and much more amplified now, both in the breadth and the depth of this dishonest behavior. I think that’s why it’s more acute and (people are) more aware now is because people are feeling tangible consequences showing up on their hydro bills, for example. These outrageous hydro bills are a direct result of government policy. We talked about it in the 2011 election, how the Green Energy Act was going to substantially increase people’s cost of living and their energy, but now it’s hit home. There’s no more discussion or debate about it. It’s hit home, and people are feeling those consequences first-hand and directly. What is a Conservative government going to do to either limit those increases or bring down those rates without shuffling those expenses to another part of the budget? I think the plan that we’ve put forward is a good, thoughtful plan. First off, we know all the evidence is clear that the amount of money that the government has taken on hydro bills for the debt retirement charge has far exceeded the debt that was to be discharged. So, we’ve said that’s going to come off the bill right away. Second off, we’ve said we know the biggest contributor to this outrageous energy cost is the Green Energy Act. We’re going to put an end to it. We’re not going to be
Randy Hillier, PC Party going any further on those, there will be no more subsidies. If somebody wants to put up a solar park and get market rates for electricity, that’s a whole different kettle of fish. But these outrageous subsidies, they will be no more. And two other significant components, we’ve said clearly that if and when we need to generate more electrical supply, we’ll look at entering into long-term contracts with low-cost providers like Hydro Quebec and Manitoba Hydro. I remember back in 2010 when the Green Energy Act was first coming into play, Quebec Hydro and New Hampshire inked a 20-year deal for Hydro Quebec to provide electricity to New Hampshire for 20 years at four-and-a-half cents per kilowatt hour. We just passed a bill that would mandate Ontario hydro to pay upwards of 80 cents a kilowatt hour for solar power, and up to 24 cents for wind energy. Here we have a competing neighbour who is buying it for four-and-a-half cents. Regardless of what anybody else says, I think that electricity produced by rivers is far greener than windmills or solar parks. Then, finally, (we will) end this outrageous redundancy and duplication and wastefulness of our agencies that run our electricity grid; to get rid of the Ontario Power Authority; to fundamentally restructure these outrageous wages and tens of thousands of people on the sunshine list at Ontario Hydro and Ontario Power Generation, which all shows up on people’s bills every month. Staying on that Green Energy Act, there are people as you know at the southern end of the riding that are concerned about proposed parks and approved parks… Dorland, Amherst Island… we’ve also said that the renewable energy projects will once again, under a PC government, fall under the purview of municipal governments. We’re going to put municipal governments back in the game here, where the Green Energy Act excluded them from any involvement in the siting of energy projects. What’s going to happen to these proposals like the one on Amherst Island and the one at Dorland? Obviously those things are still up in the air… Each one is unique in where they will be in the contractual process should we take power. (That factor) will be the prime determinant in what happens to them. My expectation — and I will continue to advocate for this — (is) that there will be, in addition, a very substantial tax on these outrageous profits by these green energy consortiums. That’s my hope, that we can kill these projects that aren’t up
Randy Hillier, PC candidate for LFL&A. in the air already. Now, in doing so, we’re not going to be facing any sort of breaking contracts or finding ourselves in a ‘gas plant’ situation? No, I’m a little more thoughtful about taxpayers’ money than that. But, it’s completely within our authority as a legislature… to cancel contracts, as long as we do it industry-wide. But, that would have some powerful, unintended consequences. But, it’s certainly within our authority and far less likely to have any negative consequences if we just bring in a significant rate of taxation on these excess profits by these consortiums. Once they see they can’t be rolling around and awash in these outrageous subsidies, it would be one more nail in their coffin. In the last week-and-ahalf or so, the One Million Jobs plan has been criticized and scrutinized… Everything should be scrutinized, and rightly so. There’s no job that lasts forever, right? But most jobs, we don’t know what the end date of them are. So, we often see, in economics, that you express jobs with that caveat of ‘person years’. It’s very clearly seen with, for example, construction projects: It will provide so many person years worth of jobs. I think that’s an accurate way of doing it. Otherwise, you’re just blowing smoke, just like we heard that there would be 100,000 new jobs with the Harmonized Sales Tax and 500,000 new jobs with the Green Energy Act. Well, where are they? Were they created for one day and then gone? But, we haven’t seen
Submitted
any tangible evidence of it. I think that expressing it in people and years of employment is a proper way of doing it. Have you been asked about that along the way? No. People recognize that we’ve put forward a plan that will change the direction of this province and put us back on a road to prosperity. Everybody sees for themselves, for their sons and daughters, that Ontario isn’t the place that it once was. The place that used to attract people and investment, and had a plethora of jobs and opportunities is no longer here. More of our sons and daughters have left the province than in any time in our history. We have a net out-migration of people to other provinces now in this province. So, I think people recognize that we have to get our house back in order in this province. We need to have some opportunities. And, the PC Party is the only party that has offered to get us back on the right track. Now, eastern Ontario faces its own economic challenges, and economic development has always seemed to be a difficult task, even in the best of times. What are some suggestions that you would bring to the table — eastern Ontario specific things? First off, eastern Ontario has a wealth of advantages. We have ports. There are a lot of places that don’t have ports in Ontario. We do. We have good and close transportation corridors to our main markets in the U.S. and elsewhere. We have a skilled workforce, although unfortunately many have
been leaving this province. We have a wealth of built-in advantages, plus natural resources. This Liberal government has handcuffed and suffocated and put us at a disadvantage. What we’re saying is, it’s time to take off the handcuffs. It’s time to stop smothering opportunities, and allow us to take advantage of these competitive advantages we have and get Ontario working again. If we do that, when we’re elected, we will see a great bonanza of opportunities for the people in eastern Ontario. We’re also seeing, in the longer term, a great bonanza of improvements in services for people. I’ll give you this example. For 10 years, Carleton Place has been seeking to do improvements to their hospital — long before I became a member. The government has never been able to make a decision or provide the funding for that improved hospital. We’ve learned just last week that, on short notice, they (the government) bailed out a local developer in Toronto to the tune of $300 million. That would have built three Carleton Place hospitals. Clearly, this government is making decisions not in the best interests of people, not in the best interests of communities, but in their selfish best interest. Municipal governments here are faced with a lot of challenges with their expenses going up… All the rural municipalities (are facing difficulties). We’re the only party, we’ve put forward in our platform that we’ll deal with interest arbitration, which is probably the biggest concern of municipal governments right now — their inability to deal with these outrageous arbitration awards. I can tell you that I not only advocate for that, I put a bill in the house that was defeated by the Liberals and the NDP to deal with interest arbitration. But, we’ve also said that it’s time to end this unfairness where only urban centres get a share of the gas tax revenue. We’ve said that that is going to come out to all the municipalities, regardless of their size. Hudak said 100,000 jobs need to be trimmed from the public service. Do you think that can all be accomplished by attrition? Pretty much, but there are (some positions) that need to be axed quickly. These hundreds and hundreds of vice presidents of various hydro (offices) and all the agencies, there is significant amount of duplication at the higher executive levels, and that needs to be dealt with. I have had my own experience of trying to find out who the vice president of customer service of Ontario Hydro was, and the runaround that Hydro gave me trying to prevent me from finding out who he was. He was making $380,000 a
year. Surely a vice president of customer service should be accessible. You should be able to know who he is, and he should have a phone with him. We can’t get our hydro bills in order and make it so that companies can, once again, expand and employ people without getting the cost of energy under control, and we can’t do that if we’ve got so many tens of thousands of very outrageously and handsomely paid bureaucrats. We’ve said there will be no affect on front-line services, front-line employment. Most of the reduction in positions will be done through attrition. But there will be some high-level fat cats that will find themselves out of work, and that’s OK with me. You’ve been an opposition MPP for two terms now, and you’ve always found yourself on the outside of government looking in. What could local voters expect from Randy Hillier should your party be lucky enough to form the next government? Regardless of the outcome of the provincial election, should I be re-elected here, people will see no difference with me. I will be the strongest ombudsman and advocate for people in my riding. I see that as a fundamental role for an MPP. When they have a concern, when they are facing injustice or unfairness, they have an ear that will listen to their concerns, and somebody who has compassion and empathy, and somebody who will advocate for them. I will do that in government or in opposition. Again, in opposition, I’ve tabled more legislation than any other member of the legislature. I’ve tabled more bills and more motions than everybody else. Whenever I see things that need to be fixed so that people don’t need to rely on their ombudsman, their local member — things like lyme disease, things such as recall for elected members, limitations on taxes and expenditures, balanced budgets, the repeal of Bill 119 and the hardship it has caused for our contractors — those things will continue to happen with me whether it’s in government or opposing government. As we can see, many of the bills that I’ve introduced over the years are now part of the platform of the PC Party. The repeal of Bill 119 is in the platform. The repeal of Drive Clean is in the platform. The abolishing of this new College of Trades that is making it so difficult for our tradesmen to continue to work or to gain their journeyman papers. I will continue to champion the making of legislation that is more fair and just for everyone, and giving people the tools to ensure that there’s improved representation. Also, I’ll be the most effective ombudsman for the people of LFL&A.

2014 Ontario Provincial Election
Bill MacDonald, Liberal Party
BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
Editor’s Note: To follow is one of four one-on-one interviews with the main candidates in the LFL&A provincial election campaign. Included are the questions asked by the interviewer, followed by the candidate’s answers. Some answers have been edited for length. This is your second time around as a provincial candidate. How does it compare to the last campaign? It’s a much more positive feeling when I’m at the door. I don’t know whether it’s because this is my second time around, or we’re using a different approach, but for the most part what I’m hearing is that, the fact that I’m coming to the door and asking for their support means something to them, because they feel as if they’re not being represented by the present individual at this time. That, really, has been very positive from my perspective, and that’s true of the number of volunteers coming forward. That’s true of the number of people who are donating to our campaign. The Liberals have been getting some bad press relating to the gas plant and ORNGE air ambulance and other issues. I’m wondering if you have gotten those concerns at the door, and if so, how do you address those concerns? No, to be honest. One out of 30 or 40 houses, someone will ask me about the ‘billion dollar gas plant’. I explain to everyone that, in actual fact, that wasn’t a decision just by the Liberal Party. That was a decision that all three parties had said, in the campaign, that if they were elected, they were going to move that gas plant. Now, there were extenuating circumstances as to why it had to be moved, but most people are happy that, in actual fact, the plant is being moved here, because it’s going to create 600 jobs, construction jobs, for two years, and then 30 high-paying full-time jobs which we desperately need in the area. So, most people realize that, yes, the gas plant had to be moved for all the obvious reasons. It wasn’t a ‘vote-getting’ reason — I want to point that out. There were other reasons that it had to be moved. But, it hasn’t been a doorstep issue. The other issue, surrounding the air ambulance, I haven’t been asked that by anyone here. Ontario residents are concerned about the cost of electricity. What will the Liberal government do to limit increases or, perhaps, lower rates, without having to resort to artificial measures that will simply transfer the costs to another part
all, we’re asking the federal government to be fair with the Province of Ontario, because they’ve cut our transfer payment by $650 million. We are actually paying more than what we’re getting back. The Conservative government in Ottawa has refused to treat Ontario like the rest of Canada. We’re being short-changed by $650 million. That would go a long way to help offset the deficit. The other thing, the plan in Ontario is to keep everybody working. Invest in infrastructure, which we need. Invest in education. Invest in health care. And, ensure that people have good jobs. By the year 201617, the books will be balanced, given the projection of the jobs that are going to be created and the number of people that are going to be employed and paying into the revenue stream of the Province of Ontario.
of the budget? Probably, that’s the No. 1 question I get asked at the door. It’s, ‘why are electricity costs so high?’ But it’s not the cost of electricity that anybody is upset about it, it’s the delivery costs. When I explain what the delivery charges are for, they in actual fact will accept that, because of the system, the total infrastructure of the system was so dilapidated to the point where we were actually losing our hydro every time there was any kind of blow-by. The point of the matter is, government after government neglected the system. It’s falling down around us. The Liberal government made a commitment to spend $30 billion for renewing the infrastructure. Now, I understand that it’s a burden for some people. The government has made some moves — the debt retirement charge is being removed — but that’s inconsequential in my mind. On my bill, that was $20. That doesn’t kick in until 2015. But, that debt retirement charge will be gone. I’ve made a proposal about removing the delivery charges from the bill, and treating (hydro) like any other infrastructure, that perhaps we should pay for that out of general coffers. It is essential that we spend the money on the infrastructure of Ontario hydro. It is going to fall down if we don’t. The question has been put to the other two main parties: are you going to lower electricity charges? Their answer is ‘no’. They have no plan in which to reduce electricity costs in Ontario. You can check the records, the platforms of the other two parties, and they said they will not be lowering electricity charges. What the Liberal Party is trying to do is ensure that you have a clean, reliable system of electricity going forward. People in the southern part of the riding are concerned about industrial wind turbines and the Green Energy Act that sort of paved the way for these things to take place. What do you say to folks that don’t want these IWTs in these communities? I’m well aware of the opposition to the wind turbines. But I want to say this: all of these wind turbines are going on private land. There is a regulatory process that all of those have to go through before they’re allowed to move forward. As I understand it, the Liberal government has stepped up and said that the only place where these are going to go is if there is a willing host. If a majority of the community doesn’t want it, in that case, they won’t happen. Or, what will happen is, the communities that want to host these will be first in line to get a green energy (project). Some people think that the government is actually building these wind turbines
The PCs’ plan to cut 100,000 jobs from the public service isn’t realistic? Submitted
Bill MacDonald, Liberal candidate for LFL&A. and that the government is actually putting up these solar panels. They are not. These are private investors that are building these things, and the government is entering into a contract to buy the energy. The government is not spending any money in building the infrastructure whatsoever, and that’s what’s nice about these, the fact we don’t have to ‘own the farm to get the eggs.’ All we’re doing is buying the eggs from the farm. We don’t own the farm. As far as upkeep and maintenance and all of those things, that is the investors’ (responsibility). They have to look after that. Years ago, we built the hydro dams. We built the nuclear plants. We built the coal-fired stations. All of those were built by the people of Ontario. The problem is, we didn’t charge the real cost of electricity for all those years. That’s why we ended up with a debt. What I like about the Green Energy plan is, you build it, and we’ll just buy the product from you. You maintain it. We the taxpayers of Ontario have no investment in the infrastructure at all. While the wind turbines on Amherst Island have been controversial, there is a process that they are going through. I can’t tell you where they’re at in that process, but I do know that there are all kinds of public meetings going on. I know there have been some judicial objections to what has been going on, but I do believe that all of the steps are being followed on a regulatory basis. What will happen at the end, I really can’t tell you. There’s an impression that there’s a connection between rising hydro costs and the Green Energy Act.
They’re saying that the majority of your hydro bill (increases) are because of the Green Energy Act. That’s not correct, at all. Four per cent of what’s on your hydro bill is attributed to the Green Energy Act. Where we’re saving huge amounts of money is that, by the end of this year, the last coalburning generating station will be shut down. As the result of those moves, our environment has improved to the point where, do you remember when last we had a smog day? We’re saving about $2 billion in Ontario in health care. The Ministry of Health has done a survey (on this issue). Close to 600 or 700 people have not died prematurely because of the (improved) environment. That’s another part that nobody puts into the formula when they talk about the Green Energy Act. A lot of people are troubled with the state of the province’s finances. A lot of people hold the Liberals to blame for overspending. What will the Liberals’ approach be to get the province back into a surplus position? First of all, I want to say that the Liberal government balanced the books for the first five years they were in power, and the reason that they went into a deficit situation is because of the recession in 2008. Not only did the Liberal government in Ontario go into deficit, so did the federal government. The federal Conservative government, and every other province in Canada, and the U.S. They spent to keep the recession from going into a depression. The federal government ran the biggest deficit in the history of the county, $59 billion. So, what we’re doing today is, first of
It is not realistic. The domino effect, if you cut 100,000, about 700,000 will lose their jobs. The impact of (the cuts) in Kingston alone would be 3,333 jobs from the public service, gone. The domino effect of that would mean we would lose about 15,000 in Kingston alone, which would impact Napanee considerably. The fact of the matter is, we have a provincial deficit right now of about $8 billion. Their plan is to balance the books in two years. So, that means that you have to find $4 billion a year. One-hundredthousand public service salaries only amount to $1 billion. So, where are they going to find the other $3 billion in which to balance to books this year and then the $4 billion to balance the books next year? It’s an unrealistic target because the only way they can do that is, they have to reverse the uploading to municipalities and start downloading things like more services to the municipalities, increase the download or cut the transfer payments to municipalities. The result is going to be is that municipal governments are going to have less money to work with, and they’re going to have more responsibilities. I’ve been through it. I was mayor (of Central Frontenac). I was warden of Frontenac County. I know exactly what I’m talking about. There’s no way you can find $4 billion from the provincial coffers without expecting the downloading of responsibilities to other tiers. What the federal government did with the Province of Ontario was cut $650 million from the (transfer payment), and now they’re saying they’re balancing their books next year. How’d they do it? They cut the transfer payment to Ontario by $650 million. How is the province going to do it? If the PCs get in there and they say they’re going to
balance the books, they’re going to download onto the local municipalities and county governments. Mark my words, that’s my prediction on that one. Economic development in the region has always been a challenge. What are some of the things that the provincial government can do to assist in bringing more jobs to the region? One of the biggest things is, when the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus — and I worked on that — was to set up the Eastern Ontario Development Fund. One of the big things the Tories voted against was the fact that funding for the EODF was (to be) permanent. That was one of the things that the Liberal government set up, and the PCs held that up for a long time because there was no Southwestern Development Fund until after the EODF was set up. They now have a fund in southwestern Ontario for the same thing. There are several programs: the retention program for funds for companies that are already in business and they want to expand; there are funds available for new entrepreneurs that are proposing to start a new business. What that has done is, in the few million dollars that have been invested in that, that has leveraged something like $3 billion in economic development in eastern Ontario. But the big thing here in eastern Ontario is of course the new gas plant coming here. It’s going to be a huge thing. But there’s also the investment in infrastructure. The province is setting up something municipalities have been for for years. That is, the 10-year infrastructure plan, so that municipalities can plan their construction and know the the money is there to be used. They have also set up a permanent $100 million fund for municipalities for site-specific projects. That’s new under the Liberal government. That’s for rural municipalities. The provincial Liberal government set up a permanent, $100 million fund for rural roads and bridges in lieu of them not getting any provincial gas tax. So, all of those programs, when they’re up and running, are creating jobs. That’s the way it works. But, if you bring all that to a halt, as the PCs are proposing, then it does two things: everybody will be out of work, and you’re not going to lower the deficit, because you’re going to be paying it out through Ontario Works or welfare or something like that. Decisions governments make have an impact. A big impact. This is what I fundamentally see in this election, and I talk from my heart when I say this: I believe that the directions that each one of the parties want to take this province are so polar opposite that it will have ramifications for years and years to come.

2014 Ontario Provincial Election BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
Editor’s Note: To follow is one of four one-on-one interviews with the main candidates in the LFL&A provincial election campaign. Included are the questions asked by the interviewer, followed by the candidate’s answers. Some answers have been edited for length. You’re a provincial candidate for the first time. What’s the experience been like so far? Well, it’s been interesting and it’s been enjoyable. I’m learning a lot. I did my first all-candidates meeting again last night. My experience seems to be that our system is broken. Our existing parties just stand and scream at each other about what the other party has done wrong, and we’ve sort of lost any sort of sense of the ‘greater good’. And we won’t talk about the real issues — that’s what concerns me the most. I’m kind of learning that, at this stage of the game, I believe the Green Party needs to put an issue out there that people don’t want to hear about, and people don’t want to talk about, but which is the most important issue of our time: how to deal with climate change. The Green Party is often stuck with the label of being a ‘one issue party’. How do you respond to voters who have that impression? It was a concern of mine when I joined. But the party has a 150-page policy book. I was at the annual general meeting last summer in Oshawa, where we continued to flesh out all issues of the Green Party policy, from health care to jobs to agriculture to energy — you name it, the Green Party has a policy about it. The Green Party is, without question, ready to form a government. (It) has policies on all issues of governance, but, personally, I have chosen (the Green Party) because no other party in this riding or provincially will talk about it. I have chosen to carry the Green banner to talk about a solution to climate change. The environment, too, touches on every one of those issues that tend to come up in a provincial election, from health care to education to you name it… Yes, and last night at an all-candidates meeting in Arden, there were a lot of concerns about energy — cost of energy, cost of electricity, cost of home heating, energy. One of the policies the party adopted last summer was what’s called the ‘fee and dividend’. I emphasize that it’s not a carbon tax, it’s putting a price on carbon, any carbon that comes into the province, and when it comes into the province, we put a fee on it,
Cam Mather, Green Party which we put into a trust account. The government never gets its hands on that. Once a quarter, that money is all written in dividend cheques to everyone in the province for them to do with as they choose. Now, things like propane and gasoline and home-heating oil, they’re all going up in price already. So, I’m going to be honest with you, under the Green Party, (prices) certainly are not going to go down, and they’re probably going to continue to go up. But, what I’m going to do is provide you with the tools to deal with that energy inflation. I’m going to give you a cheque every quarter that is going to allow you to upgrade the insulation in your house, to put in new windows, if home heating oil is too expensive to put in a geothermal system or better yet a wood stove. All of those things create jobs locally. At the same time, we are reducing our province’s carbon output, which is the key to reducing climate change. People in the southern part of the riding are resisting a few industrial wind turbine projects in their neck of the woods. How would a Green Party government handle these kinds of renewable projects that are fairly contentious? If you’re elected but not part of the government, what kind of approach would you advocate? Unlike the Conservatives, we will continue with policies that encourage renewable energy. Ontario has no fuel itself. All we have is sun and wind and wood in the form of biomass. All of those things are renewable and zero-carbon. We are going to continue to advocate people use that. In terms of ‘large wind’, we would like to see more municipal and local input into the locating of these things. We’d also try and follow the Danish model, which is to encourage at least 20 per cent local ownership in the wind farm. I think one of the challenges right now is that there’s this perception that these huge corporations are making millions of dollars on these wind turbines, and that seems to be intrusive in a lot of people’s lives. So, I would suggest that the reason places like Denmark have been so much more accepting of wind, or have had so much less opposition, is simply because there’s a policy of having a certain amount of local ownership. We would definitely encourage that. The other thing that we would do is drop the moratorium on offshore wind, and we would see more wind turbines out on the Great Lakes, where they should be. That’s where the wind is the best. The Liberals cancelled it in what’s typical of the party politics of this day and age in the province. They do a lot of things to stay in power that aren’t good policies. So, the Green Party would make sure we would

Cam Mather, Green Party candidate for LFL&A. continue with large-scale and small-scale wind and solar, and biomass, and all those things, with more local ownership and input in terms of municipalities, and with more encouragement for people to do it themselves. All Ontario residents, regardless of their background, are concerned about the rising costs of electricity. How can a Green Party government work to lower hydro costs without resorting to artificial measures that would simply take costs off the electricity bill and move them to other parts of the budget. Here’s the problem: we’ve had 40 years of the government in power not charging the true cost of electricity. I’m certainly not going to commit to reducing people’s electricity costs. I’m going to suggest that we will try to control the increases, and one of the ways we will do that is to start trying to get away from nuclear power. One of the best ways to do that would be for us to look at agreements for water power from our neighbours in Quebec and Manitoba. They have enough excess that they could help us out. Less than a decade ago, it looked like our energy demand was going to go off the chart in our province, but in 2008, our manufacturing sector was decimated. Our demand for electricity plummeted in the province. It’s quite substantial. We don’t have the same demand that we perceived that we were going to have. The last time the province got a quote on nuclear reactors, it was more than $26 billion for a couple of them. I think it’s important for us to realize that we’re not
going to get away from nuclear power right away. Fifty-five or 60 per cent of our base load is nuclear power. The challenge is getting people to understand that we never paid the true cost of those. When Mike Harris deregulated the electricity market, there was $38 billion in stranded debt, and that was all for nuclear power plants. So, that was sliced and diced and moved around balance sheets. Now, the Conservatives say there is $7 billion left, and the Liberals say there is $3 billion left. I think, frankly, that we have paid very little of that stranded debt, that it’s just been put on the balance sheet in other places. Then, I look at things like Hydro Quebec, that has one nuclear reactor that they’ve decided not to refurbish; over the next 50 years, it’s going to cost Hydro Quebec $2 billion to decommission that reactor. For 50 years, it’s going to cost $2 billion, and it’s not going to produce a kilowatt hour of electricity. We have 18 of these things, and we’ve never paid a penny toward the decommissioning of them. So, you’ve got $30 billion in an unfunded liability sitting right there with nuclear plants, and you’ve got another $30 billion, minimum, that Atomic Energy of Canada says it’s going to cost to permanently store the waste. People think wind power and solar power are expensive. I’ve got news for you: there’s nothing more expensive than nuclear power. The problem is, there has been no government in 40 years in this province that has had the intestinal fortitude to charge the true cost for electricity. If I put up the million dollar wind turbine, I put up the insurance on it. If Ontario Power Generation builds a nuclear power
plant, the taxpayer pays the insurance on it, simply because when one of these things melt down — what did Fukushima cost? We’re over a quarter of a trillion dollars right now that the Japanese government has spent. So, wind power, solar power, what we’ve done is shifted the risk to individuals and businesses. We’ve said, you put up the wind turbine, we will pick up the electricity at a fixed cost. Quite honestly, from a conservative business point of view, the Green Energy Act is a much better value for taxpayers. We have a huge liability, a huge unfunded liability with nuclear power, and nobody wants to talk about it. I’m telling you right now, your electricity bill is not going to go down under a Green Party government, but we’re going to tell you the true costs of it, and tell you why your rate isn’t going to go down. We’re not going to give you any gimmicks. We’re not going to be like the NDP and say we’re going to give you a $100 rebate, we’re not going to be like the Conservatives and say we’re going to reduce your electricity bills — it’s not really possible. People are concerned about the province’s finances these days. What would the Green Party do to tackle the province’s books? I have never believed in debt or deficits personally, and I don’t believe governments should either. I think a quarter-trillion-dollar debt with this province right now is terrifying. I think the Liberals are being incredibly irresponsible, and the reality is that, with no end in sight to paying down the debt or even eliminating the deficit, we’re going to find ourselves like Greece or one of those places, with huge financial challenges. When you look at things like climate change, you look at the flood in Calgary. That cost $6 billion. If you live in Ontario or you live in Canada and you go to your insurance company and ask how you’re covered for flood insurance, you’re not. No insurance company in this country will insure you for flood. If your sewer backs up, they’ll cover you, but if the water comes over your doorstep or through your window, you’re not covered. So, the government pays for those things. The government is paying for the results of climate change. If the government is effectively bankrupt, and has no credit, it can’t really help out its citizens with the problems that climate change is going to bring. The Green Party will eliminate the deficit and we’ll start working away at that debt. We will pay as we go. If you look at the Green Party platform right now, everything is funded. (For instance), the major parties say they’re ‘for transit’, but they won’t tell you how they’re going to pay for it. The nice thing about the Green Party platform is we tell you how we’re going
to pay for it. A lot of times, the province is not getting good value. The mining industry in Ontario generates $17 billion in revenue. Right now, our royalty on that is one per cent or less. In Saskatchewan, the royalty on the mining operations is 9.6 per cent. I think the people of Ontario have the right to share in some of the wealth that is being taken out of the ground. Economic development in this region has always been a challenge. What are some of suggestions on what the provincial government can do to assist in bringing more jobs and opportunities to the region? That’s a tough question, and I struggle with it. I think I have to be honest when I say I get disturbed when I hear the Conservatives telling me they are going to create a million jobs, because it was the Conservatives federally with Brian Mulroney that signed NAFTA and all our jobs went south. Now, Harper’s over there trying to sign Pacific agreements (so) all our jobs can go to China. I think in large part a lot of these things are very challenging and there’s no simplistic way to address them. All I can suggest is that it’s a priority for me. It’s been a priority in the decade-and-ahalf and tried to find work for my children, and the time I’ve spent on the Tamworth and Erinsville Community Development Corporation. Municipal governments, especially in eastern Ontario, are faced with a challenge in that they have services they have to provide and services they have to maintain, but they don’t have the tax base to keep up with those costs. Meanwhile, other costs like policing are continuing to escalate. In the end, property taxpayers continue to bear the brunt. How would the Green Party address that situation? As a taxpayer, I’m disturbed by it. It’s a complex issue, and it’s one that concerns me. All I can say is, when I’m in the legislature, what I will try to do is look at these programs and have them based on the community’s and the municipality’s ability to pay. Right now, in Stone Mills, we’ve had a $100,000 rise in our policing costs. The OPP has to be the highest paid police force, so as soon as Aurora gets a severn per cent increase, suddenly the OPP has to do it too. So the arbitrator just says, ‘Aurora just got one,’ so they automatically assign it. The arbitrator, as a mediator, never has to look at the community’s ability to pay. We need to start doing that. It’s simply not realistic in terms of, say, policing costs, and other infrastructure costs — roads and bridges — as well. It has to be looked at.

2014 Ontario Provincial Election
Dave Parkhill, New Democratic Party
BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
Editor’s Note: To follow is one of four one-on-one interviews with the main candidates in the LFL&A provincial election campaign. Included are the questions asked by the interviewer, followed by the candidate’s answers. Some answers have been edited for length. You’re a few weeks into the campaign. How does it compare to the last time around, and are people more or less engaged? It’s a mix. When you find somebody who is engaged, they’re quite engaged. They’re well aware of the issues, and a lot of them have their specific concerns. I am, again, also fairly surprised at the number of people who don’t realize there’s an election. It’s still surprising to see that there’s still a percentage of those out there. People, particularly in the southern part of the riding, are resisting a few industrial wind turbine projects in their neighbourhoods. What would an Andrea Horwath government do to address those concerns? Those concerns are shared by other people elsewhere in the province. Also, if you’re elected as the MPP by you’re not part of the government, how would you approach that issue? The ‘elected and not part of the government’ (scenario), that frees me up a lot. One of the things that I think has been a barrier to this riding is that for the last seven or eight years, we’ve had a person in the legislature who just goes down there and says ‘no.’ He puts on a big show and says ‘no’. That’s what he’s bringing back to the riding. He’s not able to bring any co-operation back. I’d like to take a cooperative voice down to the legislature and be able to talk with the movers and shakers. The example that I heard on The Agenda last week, John Gerretsen was on, and he was talking about how he was a rookie MPP; it was under the Harris government. He was not in government, but he kept (Health Minister) Elizabeth Witmer on speed dial, and he kept the Minister of Education (in close contact), because he knew that those were issues that were critical to his riding. He built a good relationship there, and he was able to get things done for the universities and colleges in the Kingston area and the hospitals in the Kingston area. So, to me, especially in a minority situation, that’s what’s supposed to hap-
think it would probably help if we had a champion at Queen’s Park that pushed a little harder to get things happening here, too.
pen. You’re supposed to go down there with an open mind and try to work together to try to find solutions to the problems in your riding. So, for me, it would be the logical thing, to go down and start advocating for municipalities to have the right to have some say over what goes in and what doesn’t go into their municipality, as well as for people to have the right to a reasonable setback. I mean, there are places in this province where there are wind turbines and they’re not near anybody’s house. That makes a lot of sense to me. Don’t put them near people. I don’t know how much more efficient they are on an island in the lake, but it seems to me that if you have people some place, you shouldn’t be putting turbines (near them). People seem to be concerned about the prov ince’s books — the fiscal situation. The debt is rising. The deficit is coming down very slowly. The Progressive Conservatives seem to be portraying themselves as the only party that can tackle government spending. What would an NDP government do with respect to restoring the province’s finances? Actually, if you look over the last 20 years, if you’re looking for a balanced budget in Canada (among provincial governments), you’re looking at a New Democrat budget, whether it’s Manitoba or New Brunswick or a number of other jurisdictions, we’ve had balanced budgets under New Democratic governments. Conservatives haven’t been able to do it, Liberals haven’t been able to do it. Andrea Horwath’s NDP have a tremendously fiscally-responsible platform this time out. I don’t if you saw the piece she did on Lang and O’Leary — she sits there for five minutes and she talks like an economist. When you look at the imbalance between corporate and individual taxes… everybody in this riding hears tax break, and they vote based on the tax break, but nobody ever hears the part that says, ‘Oh, but not for you.’ When we’re voting, we’re voting for the tax break but we’re not getting any tax breaks. The tax breaks always go to the corporations. We’ve got the major banks and major insurance companies, and big, big corporations, that are paying a pittance in tax. The balance has to be made up by individuals. That has to get switched somehow. We need to lower the taxes on small business. We need to create incentives for hiring — bring some jobs in, get some wage-driven growth. That’s the real
Municipal governments in eastern Ontario are faced with a dilemma. They have services that they need to provide, and infrastructure they have to maintain, but they don’t really have the tax base to keep up with those costs. Meanwhile, costs like policing continue to go up, and in the end property taxpayers are the folks who bear the brunt of that burden. How would an NDP government tackle that problem?
Seth DuChene-Staff
Dave Parkhill, NDP candidate for LFL&A. way that an economy grows, by people spending money in the economy. This trickle-down stuff that Hudak wants to do, it’s voodoo. It doesn’t work. You need to have a good balance on your corporate taxes. If we’re going to lower the tax rate so that we can compete with Mississippi and Tennessee, we’re in trouble. Are those really the (low paying) jobs that we want? It’s a balanced responsibility where we start saying, OK, we as a community, we need the jobs. We have to have the jobs. That’s the key to any economy: the jobs. To generate the jobs — and it’s proven that this cutting the corporate tax rate doesn’t bring the jobs in, it brings in bad jobs, but it doesn’t bring in good jobs — (we need) manufacturing tax credits; by rewarding people that bring manufacturing jobs back to Napanee or Smiths Falls or Perth. If we bring some of those jobs back, we’re a lot better off in keeping our young people in the area, too. Maybe it’s not as bad in Napanee, but certainly when you look up around Sharbot Lake, Perth and Smiths Falls, young people are leaving and they aren’t coming back. They’re going away to school and they’re gone. What I want to see is see our kids get a chance to go off and become a chemical engineer or whatever they’re going to do at the University of Toronto or Queen’s or wherever, and bring that knowledge back to the community, start their own business and build their own community that way. We’ll reward them as a business, we’ll reward them with manufacturing credits, we’ll have a set-up
to help those folks get started and build a stronger community at the same time. What they really need to do is close some of the (taxation) loopholes. Because, even at the minimal rates that we pay, if you look at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, they have a paper talking about how some of the biggest corporations, even at the nominal tax rate — because they can get credits under that — some of them are paying a tenth of what they nominally should be paying. So, tax credits for corporations who are able to hit certain targets or meet certain objectives in terms of job creation…? It’s primarily aimed at the smaller and mid-sized businesses, because that’s where most of the hiring goes on anyway. So, that’s where that’s primarily targeting. And, the manufacturing tax credit is aimed at people who either bring manufacturing in or start manufacturing operations in Ontario. Economic development always seems to be a challenge in eastern Ontario. What are some of the suggestions on how the provincial government can assist in bringing more jobs and opportunity to the region? I really think that the jobs initiative that we’re looking at — create a job, get a credit, and manufacturing incentives and things — I really think that’s a good start to helping bring businesses back to this area, this riding. I
It’s a difficult problem, and it dates back certainly with the big download under the Tories back in the 1990s. A huge burden was shifted to municipalities when they lifted schools off that tax base. They kind of changed that whole formula. There needs to be a readjustment there, and how you would go about that, I don’t know. You’d have to have a room full of experts to do a study to figure out how it best be done. But, certainly, there needs to be some relief for municipalities. It’s odd that they talk about having special powers for Toronto, they’re talking about letting Toronto have its own taxation system to cover their infrastructure, and they’re not addressing anywhere else in the province. From homeowners to farmers to manufacturers and companies, people are concerned about the rising cost of electricity. How would an Ontario NDP government work to lower hydro costs without resorting to artificial measures that take the cost and bury it someplace else? It’s a complex, complex problem. When I was a kid, my dad worked at Adam Beck Public School in Toronto, he was the caretaker there. He’d take me to school on Saturday, and I’d play with the film strips and look at the books and whatever, and at one point it dawned on me to look up who Adam Beck was. He was a Conservative MPP who started Ontario Hydro. It was his thought, his baby, his idea, that we have one generator, one delivery system, one billing system — all as one — that would understand the needs of the province, anticipate the growth of the province, and generate the power to meet those needs and demands. It worked so brilliantly that it became the model for every other hydro production entity just about in the world. It was just brilliant.
So here’s this beautifully designed thing that works for like 100 years almost… and then along comes Mike Harris, and he says, ‘Let’s say that guy’s making too much money. We can create a crisis in hydro, fire that guy, make a big kerfuffle and start splitting it up.’ All of a sudden, parts are privatized. All of a sudden, there’s like four or five different agencies. All of a sudden, you’ve got four or five or six different administrations instead of one administration. You’ve got a lot of boards, and you’ve got a lot of people making a lot of money, and no real co-ordination on how we generate, anticipate the growth, anticipate the need and meet the need of the people of Ontario in a cost-effective way. That’s what we had always done. We take that now bad situation, change the government and go to the Liberals, and what do they do to make it better? Not one thing. What do they do to make it worse? They start privatizing left, right and centre. It’s great that we have solar. I think solar and wind and renewables are great ideas. I think that if you had those little underwater microturbines running in all the creeks and rivers around here, you could probably light up a good chunk of eastern Ontario, if you just captured some of the energy. If we had that as a coordinated project, (where) we own it, we care for it, we maintain it, and we use it to meet the needs of the people and corporations of Ontario, we do it in a way that is responsible, we do it in a way that is thoughtful, and meets and anticipates the needs. Look at the way they do it in Quebec. They have always had the superior hydro system. It’s exactly the way Ontario Hydro used to be. Now, instead of being miles ahead of everybody else, we’re miles and miles behind. We’re the worst in North America for hydro, as far as I understand. Are your feelings on this reflected by the party’s energy platform? We’re going to be taking the Harmonized Sales Tax off home heating, and that’s important. That’s the first thing, and it’s the main thing. In my opinion, to have HST on an essential like hydro is cruel and unusual for a homeowner. We’re going to start looking at ways of making sure that we once again have control over our own generation, control over our own needs, control over our own planning for the future of hydro, so we’re not having to pay New York State to take our hydro. We’re also going to a fund for energy retrofits and solar panels.

Rehearsing for their June 12 debut at the Selby Community Theatre, Kitchen Witches actors (from left) Janice Branson (Isobel), Sandy Johnson (Stephanie) and Tami Montpetit (Dolly) run through their lines.
Kitchen Witches cook up a funny concoction at LCT BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Another great comedy show is opening at the Selby theatre later this month, offering entertainment appropriate for the entire family. The Kitchen Witches is a four-person cast show based on a cable-access cooking show. When two rivals come together and do a cooking show together, though hating one another, they get better ratings than Martha Stewart and Jerry Springer. The Kitchen Witches was written by Canadian playwright Caroline Smith. “It’s about a woman who hosts a cooking show and then has her lifetime rival comes on and they end up doing a show together and hating each other,” said director and coproducer Geoff Johnson. “It’s a lot of friction but it’s a lot of fun.” He said he came across The Kitchen Witches script and thought it would be a perfect match for the Lennox Community Theatre in Selby. The cast is made up of Tami Montpetit, Janice Branson, Sandy Johnson and Maggie Zätterberg. Branson is new to the Lennox Community Theatre and Kitchen Witches will be the first time she has performed on stage. “Tami Montpetit plays Dolly Biddle who is the host of the show. And then Janice Branson plays Isabel Lomax, who is her rival. They’re the two hosting the show. And then Sandy Johnson plays Dolly’s daughter, who is sort of the director in the show and trying to keep everyone calm. And then Maggie Zätterberg plays Roberta, the non-committal stage help in the play,” explained Geoff. “It’s going to be a fun show and there’s some
audience participation as well. The cast is really looking forward to getting people in the seats and getting people involved.” Geoff said his favourite part of directing The Kitchen Witches has been watching the cast have fun with the scripts and put on an entertaining show. “I really enjoy watching the actors get excited about it. If it’s fun for them then it’s fun for the audience. To watch them have fun is enjoyable and that’s something we’ve really tried to incorporate is fun in the show. To watch them grow and get excited about their parts as all the pieces come together, like the set and
the props, everything gels and that’s fun when you get closer to the show opening and getting excited for people coming,” said Geoff. The show will be shown June 12, 13, 14, 19, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. and June 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at Gray’s IDA Drug Store or at the Lennox Community Theatre door before each performance. Tickets are $15 for regular admission and $12 for children. Seniors are $12 on Sundays.

High expectations for Junior Express Napanee to host elims June 20-22
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
oasting a deep pitching staff the Napanee Express U21 junior team is well built for a Canadian championship title run. With starters Cole Bolton, Brandon Sands, Braden Scott, Eric Morgan and Wiarton pick up Ty Sebastian, the Express have plenty of options on any given day. With Sebastian they also have a player that is regarded as one of the top hitters in the province as well. “We’ve got lots of depth all over,” said Express coach Greg Mills. “If we just get the right combination out there with the guys hitting at the right time (they can be tough).” Napanee welcomed two teams from Quebec to the Fairgrounds last weekend to play a mini tournament to help prepare them for the June 20-22 elimina-

Napanee Express batter Barry Hogeboom takes a swing a pitch during a game against the Quebec provincial team on Saturday at the Fairgrounds. Napanee hosted two teams from Quebec this weekend as they aim to get in shape before the junior eliminations on June 20. tions, which they will host. Facing off against the Quebec National team gave them a chance to scout out some of their National
challengers while ramping up for the provincial tournament. Mills expects Stratford and Owen Sound’s entries
to provide the toughest test as they try to qualify for the U21 Canadian Fast Pitch Championships, held this year in Irma, Alb.
“We’ve got a strong team, everybody’s returning from last year except for one player,” said Mills. “The boys did well last year
and we’re expecting them to do well this year.” Holding home field advantage for the seeding tournament later this month could also give the Express an extra edge. In a tournament where two bad games can have huge ramifications on the entire season, every little bit helps. “Where I think it helps is the boys are at home, they don’t have to stay in a hotel,” said Mills. “Between games you can go home and relax. Generally we get good fans in Napanee and the boys will like that and play better.” The juniors will be looking to improve on last year's Nationals final, when they finished second to Owen Sound. They’ll also look for a strong showing this year as they attempt to build momentum heading into next year, when they will play host to the 2015 U21 Men's Canadian Fast-Pitch Championship. In the meantime they’ll look to stay sharp with league play leading up to the eliminations. They’ll take on Enterprise this evening, starting at 8:30 p.m. at the Fairgrounds.
NDSS Hawks have double the fun in KASSAA pairs finals History made with all-Hawk doubles final
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Heading into the KASSAA tennis final it was a safe bet that an NDSS Golden Hawks’ girls’ doubles team was going to advance to EOSSAA. That’s because the final saw Hawk team taking on Hawk team as Kaylee Kimmett and Meghan O’Neill bested Mackenzie Vermilyea and Kassidy Miller. That marked the first time in the school’s tennis team history that a pair of NDSS representatives met in the ladies’ doubles finals. Once at EOSSAA they met a tough Cornwall pair in the junior finals who defeated them and ended

even played the sport before this year let alone play together as a team. “We had good coaches,”
O'Neill said of how they mastered the sport so quickly, referring to Matt Campeau and Aron Wilson.
“We didn’t think we’d even win KASSAA, we were pretty excited,” added Kimmett.

As for Miller and Vermilyea, they too had never played as a tennis duo though said their experience as a badminton team was somewhat transferable. “We plan to go to OFSAA next year, together,” said Miller, referring to her fellow pairs team. All four girls are Grade 10 and plan to return to compete in the senior division next year. On the boys’ side the Hawks saw two of their pairs fall short in the KASSAA semifinals. Chad Thompson and Mike Shaver just missed out on a trip to the finals, as did Nate VanKoughnet and Dalton Manley. Napanee’s tennis team wrapped up the season last Friday with a Hawk Open, featuring all 25 members of the club playing in a fun tournament on the NDSS court.

KYLE COPELAND
Kyle Copeland is a member of the Napanee Outlaws rugby team. Last weekend he was a driving force in his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 41point game, scoring a try and adding several converts to help the team secure its first win of the season. A graduate of the Golden Hawks program, he will be an important member of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team.
Staff Reporter
Riding a huge first half, the Napanee Outlaws rugby team cruised to a 41-17 victory over the visiting Cornwall Crusaders on Saturday. A steady attack in the first allowed Napanee to build a comfortable 29-0 lead at the half. The Crusaders did start to take control near the end of the game, scoring three unanswered tries in the final 15 minutes, but by then the match was well in hand. Early on it was all Napanee as they used quick, short passes to move the ball up the field and break through the Cornwall defense. Evan Morey-Lynch, Kyle Copeland, James McKinney, Angus MacLaughlin and Jordan Young all scored at least once for Napanee in the rout. MacLaughlin was selected as the man of the

the most part. Now thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all out.â&#x20AC;? Scoring was spread out through several players as the Outlaws made sure not to become too predictable for their opponents. It paid off in a big way as the Cru-
sader defense could do little to slow down the Outlaws for three-quarters of the game. Napanee did start to break down towards the end of the game, something theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look to shore up as the season wears on and opponents get tougher. The Outlaws received a bit of good news before the game as they found out their previous match, a 627 loss in Lanark, was counted as an exhibition game, not a regular season match. That means Napanee is now 1-0 on the young EORU season. Still, the lessons from that exhibition game didn't go unnoticed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You take a loss like that and it shows youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re beatable,â&#x20AC;? added Wyatt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What you do is go back and work on what you need to work on and do it all over again.â&#x20AC;? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a few more things to work on this week as they aim for another postseason appearance. In the meantime theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll now enjoy a two week break before their next league game.

Although we loved you dearly, We would not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. One year ago you left us but, we will always remember your teachings and kindness. Missing you Mom ...

Bath Marine Festival ready to set sail
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Bath Harbour will turn back the clock a century or two starting tomorrow and running through Sunday as the village hosts its second annual Marine Heritage Festival. Kingston’s St. Lawrence II will dock in the village port where, provided the weather agrees with sailing, she’ll be met by two more tall ships. “We’ll have both of St. Lawrence II’s sister ships from Toronto coming down the lake to see us,” said Dave More, Director of Education Programming with Brigantine Inc., who is helping to organize the event. “We’ll do a little square rigger race up and down the channel to show off the boats.” Deck tours of the ships will also be available form the Fairfield Gutzeit House
deck, located at 341 Main St. Built in the late 1700s, it will serve as the perfect backdrop for the festival. Guest speakers are scheduled to deliver historic maritime-themed lectures throughout the weekend. Kingston Maritime Museum of the Great Lakes founder Maurice Smith will speak of the old ship building yard once located in Kingston. Port Dover Harbour Museum curator Ian Bell will teach lake style sea shanties while authors Shelley Pringle and Roger Litwiller will speak of their books which focus on the history of the HMCS Athabaskan and HMCS Trentonian respectively. Historic re-enactments will also take place throughout the weekend, somewhat akin to what the village did during the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. “We wanted to continue
to celebrate the maritime history of the Great Lakes for sure,” said More. “The Flight of the Royal George commemoration was certainly a great way to kick that off. It was also the 60th anniversary of our program at Brigantine so we wanted to work with our partners at Gutzeit society to maybe bring something of a lasting impression that we can leave behind.” Boat building workshops and live music will take place throughout the weekend. The event also coincides with the MacKin-
Smitty’s Warehouse Operation BEST ST
non Brothers Brewing Company’s grand opening, which is a family run business operating out of a 200year-old farm. Their beer will be available for sale outside the Gutzeit House. Thanks to a grant from Lafarge, the event will be free of charge to visitors though donations will be glad accepted. The event gets underway around 2 p.m. tomorrow, stopping around 10:30 p.m. It’ll start back up at 10.m. on Saturday, breaking again around 10:30 p.m. The final day will also get underway around 10 a.m.

THE COUNTY OF LENNOX AND ADDINGTON TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE
Hopeful Donation
The County of Lennox and Addington initiated a project to update their Transportation Master Plan (TMP) in March 2013 to help guide the County’s transportation programs and road infrastructure investments for the next twenty years. The goal of the study is to assess the transportation needs within the County of Lennox and Addington. The transportation infrastructure should meet the needs of residents and visitors now and in the future. This Transportation Master Plan will identify existing and anticipated future transportation needs and deficiencies, while developing a practical and financially achievable implementation plan that supports economic and environmental sustainability. This study is being carried out in accordance with the requirements of Phase 1 and 2 of the Provincial Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process in a way that offers opportunities for public input. Two rounds of Public Information Centres (PICs) were scheduled for this study. The first PICs were held in September 2013. You are invited to attend the second round of PICs, the purpose of which is to present and obtain public input on: x x x x x
The Master Plan and consultation process; Infrastructure project recommendations; Recommended studies; Development Charges feasibility; and Next steps in the study.
The PIC will include a presentation at 5:30 p.m. followed by a moderated roundtable discussion session. Presentation boards will be available and representatives of the County of Lennox and Addington and AECOM will be in attendance to answer questions about the project. The Public Information Centres will be held: Ashley Espinoza-Staff

Marking National Garden Day Think about this: here in Canada there is a National Ice Cream Day (the third Sunday in July) and a National Blueberry Muffin Day (July 11). Isn’t it time to celebrate our horticultural heritage with National Garden Days? The answer, clearly, is ‘yes’. On April 8th of this year, a private members’ bill was passed in Ottawa that establishes National Garden Days as the three days of Father’s Day weekend, including the Friday. M.P. Malcolm Allen of Welland, Ontario, proposed the bill. As a representative from the Niagara fruit and wine belt, he is closely connected to the world of agriculture and (I might add) a thriving industry of nursery stock production. I know of one grower that is currently in their sixth generation of greenhouse production: Schenck Greenhouses has been growing geraniums (among other things) for a lonnnnng time. “National Garden Day(s) is an opportunity for gardening enthusiasts, families and schools to share their knowledge and passion for gardening and the outdoors,” said Allan. “Canadians could enjoy their home gardens or favourite community garden, visit their local garden retailer or travel to other communities to experience gardens there.” The idea is to sequester a weekend for the purpose of raising Canadian awareness to the benefits of both working in and viewing the great gardens that we have here. “Supported by Canada’s Garden Council, National Garden Days promote environmental stewardship, while also educating Canadians on the importance of public and private gardens and on the health and well-being benefits of gardens.” (http://malcolmallen.ndp.c a/ndp-agriculture-critictables-bill-to-establishnational-garden-day) The next logical question might be, “So, what? How is a designated weekend going to spark a greater interest in gardening?” So glad you asked! You can hear the Executive Director of the Canadian Garden Council respond breathlessly. Michel Gauthier has been working hard behind the scenes creating the perfect horticultural storm. “I realized that we do not take the time to acknowledge the importance of gardens as they relate to our wellbeing. National Garden Days provide the perfect opportunity for all of us to celebrate the role that gardens and

Open House Eastern Mainline Project
Railroad Gardens I have enjoyed studying the history of gardens in Canada over the years. I note that one of the largest, national endeavours to beautify our land in the early days was a program instigated by the Canadian Pacific Railroad in the 1890’s. As immigrant settlers were shuttled from east to west along the newly installed railway track, an extraordinary effort was made to create a ‘welcome mat’ of flower beds at each station along the route. A contest was launched to determine which municipality could provide the most beautiful and colourful welcome. I am not aware of the win-

Napanee Kinsmen Back Cystic Fibrosis
PUBLIC NOTICE To Residents and Property Owners Regarding Noxious Weeds The purpose of the Weed Control Act, R.S.O. 1990, is to reduce the impact of noxious weeds on the industries of agriculture and horticulture. Primarily this act applies to agricultural and horticultural lands that generate income or other benefits to agriculture; this excludes lawns, gardens and private areas for personal enjoyment and leisure. Under the Weed Control Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter W.5 Sections 3, 13, 16, and 18, you are requested to destroy all noxious weeds on your property. Failure to comply with the Weed Control Act may result in the municipality entering lands to have the weeds destroyed and costs may be recovered through tax billings as provided for in the Act. Please note that Dandelions, Burdock, Goldenrod and Purple Loosestrife are not considered noxious weeds under the Weed Control Act. Therefore, complaints concerning these weeds cannot be accepted. Note also that in urban or suburban areas, Sections 3, 13, 16 and 18 do not apply to noxious weeds that are far enough away from any land used for agricultural or horticultural purposes that they do not interfere with that use. For a listing of noxious weeds as set out in the weed control act, please visit the County website.

H O R O S C O P E S
ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Aries, your energy is contagious this week, and others flock to you as if you have a magnetic pull. Enjoy the attention, but don't forget to seek some solitude as well. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Take precautions as you prepare for an important project, Taurus. If you rush through things, you are bound to make mistakes that could negatively impact your career. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Everything you touch turns to gold this week, Gemini. You could set many things into motion with your clever ideas and infectious charisma. Stay grounded. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) An unexpected encounter stirs up some old feelings, Cancer. Enjoy your trip down Memory Lane and take advantage of this opportunity to reconnect with an old friend. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, tread lightly this week when working on an important project. Expect scrutiny in all you do and plan accordingly. Keep working hard, and your efforts will be noticed. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Expect the unexpected this week, Virgo. Things might seem as if they are going according to plan, but a few complications may arise so be prepared.
LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) A great idea has sidetracked you for some time now, Libra. But now it's time to get back into your normal routine and focus on the tasks at hand. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Scorpio, embrace unique ideas concerning your future this week. Consider all possibilities no matter how out of the ordinary they may seem. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Practical concerns could temporarily stall plans that are a bit fantastical, Sagittarius. But don't fret, you will have an opportunity to put some plans in motion soon enough. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) You may experience a conflict with others at work this week, Capricorn. It is best to roll with the punches instead of causing a stir. Allow the situation to unfold. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, a hectic few weeks at work have proven distracting. It might seem overwhelming right now, but things will settle down in a matter of days. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Pisces, you may want to be invisible in the crowd this week, but that scenario simply isn't in the cards. Grin and bear the attention.
