Greater Napanee Council heard from the chair of the Taxation Policy Review Committee regarding the committee’s findings to date and discussed with council the committee’s next steps in the process. Gary Scandlan, chair of the TPRC, presented an 88-page report to council outlining what the committee has done to date and how it plans to move forward. He included a new piece of information: a letter from the Napanee OPP in response to a letter the TPRC sent to the OPP after its last committee meeting held on Feb. 16. Napanee OPP Inspector Pat Finnegan responded to the letter two days later, stating, “I am happy as always to assist in any way that I can, unfortunately, most of what has been requested does not exist.” The letter explained that OPP responses to locations could not be provided. He said, “before the amalgamation of Greater Napanee, (the OPP) did have location codes for each ward but that is no longer the case” and with 23,000 calls for service each year it would be difficult to determine where each call was made. Insp. Finnegan also noted that the Napanee OPP services six municipalities. “It would be extremely time consuming and the initial data dump would contain personal information,” Insp. Finnegan wrote. “That would prevent us from simply exporting the data and giving it all to a town employee to process.”

Deseronto
Bank’s closure prompts formation of committee BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
A committee has been formed in Deseronto to look for ways to attract a new financial institution to replace the town’s longtime bank, CIBC, when it closes this summer. The ad hoc committee was formed after a public meeting was held in Deseronto on Feb. 4, hosted by CIBC, to officially announce the closure of the bank. Representatives stated accounts would be moved to the Napanee CIBC once the bank closes its doors on Aug. 12 at 1 p.m. Deseronto Mayor Norman Clark said both council and the committee are looking at a number of options to keep a bank in Deseronto.
“To me, the No. 1 priority is that we get a financial institution to come to Deseronto, whether it be a bank or credit union. We will work with them; we will bend over backwards to help any institution that wants to come to Deseronto,” said Clark. Town councillor Steven Everhardus is chair of the ad hoc committee addressing the bank issue in Deseronto. He said the committee is looking at a number of options but has not yet ruled out CIBC. “We are moving forward and looking at other options. Ideally, we said we would like to retain CIBC. People have been using CIBC, and prior to that the Standard Bank there, for over 100 years. Ideally, it would be easier for everyone

to remain with our branch,” Everhardus said, admitting the possibility of CIBC deciding to stay in Deseronto is extremely slim. “In reality we do need to address the issue that Deseronto will need some other institution if CIBC chooses to move its business elsewhere. Our residents are very keen on keeping a financial institution in Deseronto. It’s not just Deseronto that’s affected, it’s our neighbours in Tyendinaga Township and on the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, a lot of those people use the branch in Deseronto,” Everhardus said. He said he is confident the nearly 2,000-population town and surrounding areas could support a new bank or credit union in Deseronto. Both Everhardus and Clark said a number of residents have already said they would be leaving CIBC if it left the town. Most of those residents said they would support a new financial institution in Deseron-
M
to. “With people in Deseronto being very much supportive of local business and local institutions, any (bank that comes to) Deseronto to do business will be rewarded by a lot of support. Our survey suggested that people will be loyal to whatever institution is in Deseronto, whether it’s the CIBC or a new institution that takes its place,” Everhardus said. Everhardus said he would be first in line to support a new financial institution in Deseronto. “Personally, I have been a lifelong CIBC client, but I have been considering moving my business to whoever supports Deseronto. Bottom line, that’s where my interests are. I want to live in a vibrant community with all services. It’s good for my property value; it’s good for my work on council and selling the community with other people,” said Everhardus. Clark said Deseronto

has many older residents who either don’t drive or don’t have access to a vehicle. For them, getting to Napanee to use the bank would be difficult. Though he said Deseronto Transit is an option for these people, he admitted that pick-up and drop-off times vary and may not coincide with Napanee’s CIBC hours. He said he’s hopeful that a credit union may be interested in opening up business in Deseronto. Everhardus also shared concerns with people leaving Deseronto to do their banking and may also do some of their shopping while out of town. “For a lot of people, that trip into Napanee is just that extra step that they don’t need. There were other businesses that were really concerned about how people’s trips to the bank might result in less business for them because they’re going to Napanee to the bank so they could do multiple errands there,” said Everhardus. “We have to look after the residents and the businesses,” Clark agreed. “It’s a disappointment CIBC is leaving.” Clark said the town has been gaining support from its neighbours, including the County of Hastings. “The warden wrote a very good letter to the bank with his concern and the county’s
concern. County council said, ‘We have to support Deseronto because we’re all in the same position.’” Everhardus said it’s a widespread concern that has a number of local communities talking. “Frankly, every small town – whether it’s Tamworth, or Bath, or Odessa – needs a financial institution. This is a bigger picture issue; there are a lot of other small branches who now are seen as vulnerable,” he said. “Last year when TD pulled out of Marmora, it was devastating for that community’s downtown. There’s talk of another bank pulling out of Maxwell, Ont. This is a bigger picture issue and I think it affects a lot of small communities across eastern Ontario and Canada in general.” Clark said one local business has been considering installing an automatic teller machine at its location; however, nothing has been decided yet. At the Feb. 4 meeting council asked CIBC if it would consider leaving a bank machine available for residents to deposit and withdraw money from but CIBC has not contacted the municipality or the committee since the meeting. Deseronto’s CIBC is set to close its doors permanently Aug. 12 at 1 p.m., at which time the building would be put up for sale.

Fraud Prevention Month
Inspirational Women
Beware of scammers, OPP advise BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
In the same week that law enforcement kicked off Fraud Prevention Month, some Napanee residents were finding themselves victims of online fraudsters. The most highly-publicized case, reported by CBC Ottawa, involved a Napanee woman who, through the classified website Kijiji, had arranged to rent a new property in Ottawa. She had even put up the first month’s rent through a money transfer. The woman had her personal belongings delivered to the address of the home she thought she had rented online. Instead, her belongings were delivered to the driveway of a home that was already occupied. However, she wasn’t the only local person victimized by online scammers in a similar fraud that week. According to Constable Jackie Perry of the Napanee OPP, another area resident thought he had paid to rent a vacation property in the U.S. through Kijiji. Despite sending more than $6,000 to book the spot, he arrived at the location only to discover
it had been a scam. Cst. Perry added that these types for fraud cases aren’t new to the detachment. “My understanding is that (victims) are finding a place online… and there are pictures associated with the property, and then there’s a point of contact to book the property. They book it through this individual, they arrange for the money to be sent wherever,” she said. Often, the victims don’t realize they’ve been scammed until they get to their destination. Cst. Perry says that there are warning signs to rental, real-estate and vacation scams buyers should be looking out for when trying to arrange a deal online. First is that the would-be scammers avoid a face-toface meeting or transaction with the buyer. Second is they employ wire-transfer payment options. Of course, the most basic piece of advice to keep in mind, says Cst. Perry, is that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Cst. Perry reports that the Napanee detachment is constantly being alerted to scams — and some of those scams have been around for
a while. The ‘Canada Revenue Agency’ scam — where scammers contact potential victims by phone or e-mail asking for detailed personal information or demanding payment for a fictitious debt to the agency — is one the Napanee OPP responds to on a daily basis. “I think what confuses a lot of people, too, is that when (the scammers) call, they ‘spoof’ the number,” she adds. “They put the actual Canada Revenue Agency phone number (on the call display). People will typically go and check that, they’ll think that it’s legit because it’s the actual number coming up that belongs to the CRA. But people can spoof numbers very easily.” Other common scams include the computer repair scam, where potential victims are contacted either online or by phone advising them their computer needs to be repaired, or the ‘emergency’ scam, where potential victims are contacted by a scammer posing as a friend or relative in distress and in need of money immediately. Cst. Perry has some advice for when situations like these arise. “What I recommend, especially seniors
but basically anybody, what I recommend they do is they check with another family member before they do anything else, just to bounce it off them. Often, that’s when we find that seniors in particular will check with a family member, and that’s when (the fraud will be detected),” she said. In most instances, says Cst. Perry, fraudsters capitalize on what are usually people’s best characteristics. “I find they prey on the most ‘human’ things about us, like trust, kindness, and being accommodating. All that stuff,” she said. Cst. Perry advises local residents visit the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre website for more information about the most common kinds of frauds, and steps that can be taken to prevent becoming a victim. More information can also be found online through Canada’s Competition Bureau. If you or someone you know suspect they’ve been a victim of fraud, you can contact the Napanee OPP at 613-354-3369, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or online at www.tipsubmit.com/start.htm.

NDSS students get stark distracted driving reminder BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
embers of the Napanee OPP and Greater Napanee Fire and Emergency Services held a seminar for high school students on distracted driving and the dangers of driving impaired. The presentation took place last week at Napanee District Secondary School for Grades 11 and 12 students. It included images of crashes as a result of distracted and impaired driving. The fire department also brought a truck that crashed as a result of distracted driving for students and staff to view. The truck was travelling at 117 kilometres per hour when it crashed into the back of a tractor-trailer. The presentation began with Detective Constable Tracy Tucker, who shared her personal story of losing her sister in a collision while she was in the vehicle with her. Constable Scott Woodburn followed her presentation and talked about the importance of driving according to weather conditions, especially in winter and during heavy rain. Then Fire and Emergency Services public educa-

(From left) NDSS student Nathan Merkley, OPP Constable Scott Woodburn, Greater Emergency and Fire Services public educator Randy Cook and NDSS student David Pakul stand in front of a truck involved in a collision caused by distracted driving. tor Randy Cook talked about the dangers of distracted driving and that a driver can be distracted by a number of items, not just by a mobile phone. Finally OPP Constable Jamie Davis talked about impaired driving, both by alcohol and drugs. The portion of the seminar that seemed to touch
and surprise students the most were the parts about distracted and impaired driving. “It’s a major eye-opener. I am going to be going in a couple weeks to get my driver’s license and my main concern is not getting into an accident,” said Grade 11 student Nathan Merkley after the presentation.
“I was shocked by the whole thing because I have even taken driver’s education and I did not know the whole procedure of how they did all that; the recovery or the field sobriety,” Merkley added. He said seeing how people are extricated from a vehicle after an accident really put things into perspective for him and showed
him how serious distracted and impaired driving is. “We’re trying to raise awareness for distracted driving. Not only texting and mobile devices are a cause of distracted driving, it could be eating, changing the controls, talking to passengers in the car, tending to a passenger or a pet, anything can be the cause,” said Cook. Many students who attended the presentation admitted that they felt they could manage doing two things at once. Cook said doing two things at once reduces the quality of each task and that driving requires one’s undivided attention. “Distract driving is becoming, if it hasn’t already, the leader in motor vehicle accidents. All too often something has taken the driver’s attention away from the task at hand and caused an accident, which in turn will cause injury or death,” Cook added Merkley said he feels distracted driving is something that happens all too often. “I think (distracted driving) is an issue because I see a lot of teenagers when they’re walking and on their phone and almost bump
into other people. So imagine that in a car. You have nobody else to bump into but you’ve got these big metal vehicles. So I think it’s a big issue,” Merkley said. Constable Davis explained how alcohol and drugs are measured and detected by police when an impairment charge is made. “Anything that impairs your ability to operate that vehicle, we consider a drug,” he explained, which includes alcohol and prescription and illegal drugs. Constable Woodburn said many people think that driving impaired by drugs is either not illegal or cannot be detected by police but he said both assumptions are incorrect. “With the federal government moving to decriminalizing marijuana, we explained to them that we do, as police, have the tools and the knowledge to detect that impairment. It’s not just an alcohol focus, we’re able to do that and make those detections. Our aim is to educate them as much as possible so we can take our collective experiences and have them make good choices so we don’t end up seeing them at those collision scenes,” Woodburn said.

EDITORIAL
Ontario PCs in ‘change’ mode This past weekend, the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party held its annual convention. It wasn’t your usual convention, either. It’s clear the party’s leadership is eager to rebrand. Patrick Brown and Co. unveiled a new logo for the party in advance of the next provincial election. In another unlikely move, Brown said the party wouldn’t be opposed to a price on carbon — something which many Conservatives from coast-tocoast, and at both the provincial and federal levels, have deemed to be a ‘tax on everything.’ The change in the party doesn’t come as a huge surprise. During the party’s leadership campaign last year, we remember Christine Elliott’s stop in Napanee to speak to supporters. During that stop, she said that the PC brand had become “toxic” to Ontario voters. Given the Tories’ extremely disappointing showing in the last provincial election — who were facing a very wounded opponent in the Kathleen Wynne-led Liberal Party — it was difficult to quibble with her assessment. Further, although she didn’t ultimately win the leadership of the party, Elliott’s assessment must have been at least partly shared by Brown, if this week’s convention was any indication. The current provincial Liberal government seems to be, unwittingly, doing everything it can to ensure its own demise when voters go back to the polls in 2018. Although it’s difficult to predict the mood of voters two years hence, it would not come as a supprise if those voters were eager to make a change. Brown appears to be taking the steps necessary to ensure his party is in a position to take advantage of that dissatisfaction. In doing so, he might be ruffling the feathers of traditional party faithful. Thing is, Brown can still count on their votes. He needs new voters to take a look — and Brown seems to recognize that.
A title in their sights
It has been a few years since we’ve had a chance to write a message urging local hockey fans to cheer on a Napanee minor hockey team on the cusp of an Ontario Minor Hockey Association final. We just haven’t had the opportunity. The Napanee Midget BB Stars have opened the door, however. Thanks to a semifinal series-clinching win against the Caledonia Thunder on the weekend, the Napanee midget team has its eyes an OMHA title — something a Napanee midget team hasn't done for three decades. In the finals, they’ll face off against the Niagara-On-The-Lake Wolves, a team that’s currently on a seven-game playoff winning Napanee Beaver - 40005335 streak. As our story on Page 22 of this week’s paper The entire content of The Beaver shows, the Napanee team is a mix of some young is protected by copyright. No rookies and veterans nearing the end of their minor portion thereof is to be repro- hockey careers. It’s a team that’s easy to root for. The first game of the series is tomorrow night at duced without permission of the the Strathcona Paper Centre in Napanee. The puck publisher. drops at 7 p.m.
Staff picks: Mindless Eating J ENNIFER Robinson, Co-ordinator of the library’s Yarker branch, recently read Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think, a book written by a food psychologist and authority of snacking habits. “Food psychologist B r i a n Wansink shares findings from authoritative Coles’ studies on the science of snacking,” explains Jennifer. “That is to say, how we are duped by food’s hidden persuaders such as size, smell, colour, flavour, name, environment and countless other variables which do not consciously register in most of our food decisions. “Among many interesting tidbits, three memorable facts and tips include: “The mindless margin is the danger of creeping calories; since the body maintains an energy balance which does not signal a small increase or decrease in calories, daily habits have a big impact over time. The takeaway: think 20 per cent less by creating a calorie gap by plating 20 per cent less food and replacing it with 20 per cent more
veggies. “The stomach only has three settings: 1) starving 2) could eat more and 3) stuffed and it quickly forgets how much is eaten. The takeaway: stay on cue by attending to internal (I am full) versus external (I am done) signals and say out loud ‘I’m not hungry but I’m going to eat this anyway’ when Notes tempted to overindulge. “Guesstimating calorie intake is an exercise in futility. The bigger something is, the less calories we proportionally assign it. The takeaway: repackage food in small containers and use small plates. “Each chapter suggests small adjustments you can make to eat better. This book allows you to choose changes that are specifically relevant for you. As a whole, it appeals to readers curious about the forces moving the food industry and strategies to personally develop healthier eating habits.” Jennifer concludes, “For me, knowing that hunger is a Bermuda Triangle of complex factors helps me to embrace the ongoing chal-
Catherine Coles
lenge of eating better and focus on a few things I can do differently.” If you like this book, you may also like the following items available at the County of Lennox & Addington Libraries: The Dorito Effect, No More Bull and Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity and Disease.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago March 9, 1966
Ashley Espinoza-Staff
The Rotary Club of Napanee donated $1,500 to NDSS’ School to Community program this week. The money will be used toward program outings and field trips, both locally and out of town. The class is planning a trip to Wonderland this June. Above (from left) are STC teacher Sal Cutrona, Rotary President Chris Seeley, STC teacher Mike Newstead and Rotary President-Elect Tim Craig.
Letter to the Editor
Welcoming approach is heartwarming What does it really mean to welcome someone? Everyone needs to feel safe, to feel valued and to feel loved. Four children who have come into our lives from war-torn Syria, are feeling all of those things because of the caring and careful staff at Southview Public School. I have been overwhelmed by the effort that these fabulous professionals have put into meeting the needs of our newest neighbours. The school staff bought backpacks, lunch kits, water bottles, art supplies and brand new indoor shoes to present to the children at their first visit to the school. The principal and vice principal opened the school at the end of the day for the parents and children to have a tour of the school facilities while it was quiet and empty of other excited children. We were there for nearly two hours. During
the registration meeting with the parents, the staff arranged for the children to go to their new classes for a visit while the parents sorted out all the paperwork. The teachers all selected ‘buddies’ for each of the children, to meet them at the school office each day, to show them where to go, and where to hang their coats. Now the school is arranging ‘bus buddies’ so each of the new children can learn the bus routines even though they can’t understand the instructions. Each class where the children are enrolled is involved in some study about Syria, so that the classmates know some things about the country from where our new family came. I saw one bulletin board with the map of Syria on one side, and the map of Canada on the other with a long ribbon stretched across the ocean from Damascus,
Syria to Napanee. The new student’s name was printed below, surrounded by ‘friends’ in his class and the kinds of things they would help him learn. One day before our new children started coming to school, the school arranged for a volunteer to come to teach the Southview students some Arabic words of welcome. Conscious of how nervous the children might be, the teachers and administration arranged to have the children come half-days at first. They set up a process for the two youngest children to visit first one class and then the other together, so they could be together and would feel safe and less nervous. The parent council is making sure that the children are involved in the school’s Friday hot lunch program. Teachers and adminis-
tration have met the parents each time they have come to the school to pick up their children with messages about how well they are doing, and what new things they have learned that day. Everyone is using Google Translate apps to help communicate with the children and make them feel welcome and understood. I could go on longer, but I think you can see what I am talking about. These Syrian children can’t wait to get to school, and they requested that we let them take the school bus as soon as possible. When I drove the family away from the school on Friday, all the junior and senior kindergarten kids lined up at the window waving good bye to their new friend from Syria.

n Official opening ceremonies were held for the new Centreville Public School. About 300 people were at the six-room school for its grand opening. Speakers included Harold King, chair of the Camden (East) Area School Board, and Paul Anderson, district inspector for public schools. Staffmembers for the new school were also introduced by the school’s principal, Richard Goodfellow. During his remarks, Anderson said that education should “be made available to everyone.” n Napanee council approved an application of a Montreal firm to investigate the establishment of a community television antenna system for the town. A spokesman for Cable TV of Montreal appeared before council and asked if it would consider granting the firm a licence to erect a tower for television reception in Napanee. The company wanted the right to rent hookups to the system to residents of the town at a price of $4.50 per month plus a $12 installation fee.
30 Years Ago March 12, 1986
n With the provincial government preparing ‘equal pay for equal work’ legislation, local elementary teachers were hoping to get the L&A County Board of Education to take proactive steps in that direction. Elementary teachers were seeking a six-percent increase in pay — an increase that would bring them up to parity with what secondary teachers were being paid. That discrepancy was proving to be the biggest stumbling block between the school board and elementary teachers in their ongoing contract negotiations. A ‘fact-finder’ assigned to the negotiations suggested a 5.3 per cent increase in pay. n Lavelin Inc. of Montreal was promising to inject $10 million over five years into the UTDC facility in Ernestown Township. Lavelin was in a bidding competition with Bombardier to purchase the crown corporation. It was that pledge to pump $10 million into the facility that had prompted the provincial government to extend its negotiations with Lavelin. Lavelin also indicated to the government that it would maintain 150 union jobs and between 12-15 supervisory jobs at the Millhaven plant.

Communities in Bloom hosts bigger Garden Expo BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
This year’s annual Communities in Bloom Garden Expo has expanded and now offers a garden workshop, information sessions from local experts, a seed exchange, and new giveaways and contests. The Garden Expo will take place at the Strathcona Paper Centre on April 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $2, gaining you access to over 30 vendors, all the contests and giveaways, and entry to all the information seminars. “We’ve had the high profile speakers (at past events) so we want to work with our local experts. We have a few seminars that will be taking place throughout the day. The information seminars will be free,” said Kathy Medd, co-chair of CIB, organizing the event. Seminars will take place throughout the day and range in topics. One will be on floral and garden photog-
raphy, led by Nicollette McGraw Photography. Another will be on herbs, led by Michele Cole of Herb Haven Farm. Another will be on trees and shrubs by local tree expert Eric Weese. The final seminar is on vermicomposting. “One of our CIB members is a high school student, Tristan Miller, and he is really into worm composting. He is a very well spoken young man, very knowledgeable, and he’s very keen to present a session on worm composting,” said Medd. A fairy garden workshop will also be held during the event. Simple Country Pleasures Greenhouses will lead the workshop, which starts at 11:30 a.m. The cost for that event is $10, which covers the cost of supplies and admission to the Garden Expo. “We have a couple new things this year: we’ve got a seed and bulb exchange table. CIB will set that up if anybody wants to bring things in to exchange,” said
Medd. Another new event will be a plant identification contest. Connon Nurseries will bring in over 10 plants and those at the event will have the opportunity to identify what each plant is and learn more about them. Also new this year will be the opportunity for gardeners to purchase a rain barrel to support CIB. “The high school football team will be there and they will be doing a rain barrel fundraiser for us and that fits in perfectly with what we’re trying to do with CIB. This would fall under the environmental initiatives category related to CIB and it’s great that the high school is stepping up and getting involved with this. I think there’s going to be lots of interest in the rain barrels, I know I’m to buy several myself,” said Medd. There will be more than 30 vendors and exhibitors at the Garden Expo, which range from greenhouse operations to garden décor and crafts. Some non-profit organization will also be
promoting its gardenfriendly events, including the Good Friends of the Earth’s Earth Day clean up, L&A Seniors Outreach Services promoting its
annual house and garden tour, and the Kingston Area Seed System Initiative. For more information on the event, check out the Communities in Bloom –
Town of Greater Napanee Facebook page. To register for the fairy garden workshop, contact Medd at: communitiesinbloomnapanee@g mail.com.

Police Beat
Impaired charge laid in single-car crash A local woman is facing impaired driving charges after a single-vehicle collision west of Odessa this weekend. At 5:38 a.m. on Saturday, officers with the Loyalist OPP detachment were dispatched to a single-vehicle crash at the roundabout at the junction of County Road 2 and County Road 4. The OPP said their investigation revealed that a grey Pontiac failed to negotiate the roundabout and continued for approximately 100 metres, striking a tree and an unoccupied home. The driver, a 28-year-old woman from Kingston, was located at the scene. She was charged with impaired driving, driving with more than the legal limit of alcohol in her system and dangerous driving. She’s to appear in Napanee provincial court this Tuesday to answer to the charges.
Stunt Driving
Napanee OPP charged two people with
stunt driving in two separate incidents in Lennox and Addington County over the weekend. The first occurrence came at 10:48 a.m. on Friday, when an officer with the OPP’s Highway Safety division clocked a car travelling 161 kilometres per hour, more than twice the 80km/h speed limit on Highway 7 near Kaladar. A 21-year-old man from Ghana was charged with stunt driving and had his vehicle seized for seven days and was issued a seven-day driver’s licence suspension. The second instance came on Sunday at 11:32 a.m., when an officer with the Napanee OPP detachment stopped a vehicle that had been travelling at 136 km/h on County Road 41 just north of the village of Roblin. A 51-year-old woman from Hamilton was charged with stunt driving and had her vehicle seized for seven days and was issued a seven-day driver’s licence suspension. Both individuals are to appear in provincial court in Napanee at a later date.
IN THE MATTER of Sections 45 and 53 of The Planning Act, TAKE NOTICE THAT the Committee of Adjustment/Land Division Committee (The Committee) of the Corporation of The Town of Greater Napanee will be considering the following application(s) for consent(s) or minor variance(s) at a public meeting on March 22, 2016 at 6:45 p.m.in the Council Chambers of the Town of Greater Napanee at 124 John Street, Napanee, Ontario. If you would like to provide the Committee with your comments on any of these applications, please write to Gib Garrett, Planning Clerk. If we have not heard from you by the date of the meeting, we will assume that you have no comments or concerns regarding this matter.
If a person or public body that files an appeal of a decision of the Committee in respect of the proposed consent(s) or minor variance(s) does not make a written submission to the Committee before it gives or refuses to give a provisional consent or approval the Ontario Municipal Board may dismiss the appeal. If you wish to be notified of the decision of the Committee of Adjustment in respect of the proposed consent(s) or minor variance(s), you must submit a written request to the Committee of Adjustment. This will also entitle you to be advised of a possible Ontario Municipal Board hearing. Even if you are the successful party, you should request a copy of the decision since the Committee of Adjustment decision may be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board by the applicant or another member of the public.
Additional information regarding the application(s) is/are available for public inspection at the Town of Greater Napanee Municipal Office at 45 Commercial Court or by contacting the Development Services Department at (613) 354-5931 Extension 2114 during regular business hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30a.m. to 4:30p.m. Please refer to the appropriate file number.

Late winter lift and tuck bulbs. The tulips, daffodils, narcissi, crocus and hyacinths that you find at most any retailer this time of year have been made popular in recent years by the demand for an early end to winter. Consumers — you and me — are still the boss in the world of commerce and the beautiful thing is that many domestic growers of spring bulbs are rushing to meet the demand both here and across the border.

Canadians coast to coast look forward to the rebirth of the soil and the slow explosion of growth that emerges from the ground whether we plan for it or not.

indoors even though they may not be showing any colour when you buy them at the store. Be patient. It will come. Display out of bright sunlight. It is true that natural sunshine generally makes plants bloom that might not otherwise. It is also true that once blooming, the sun will hasten the process. Prolong the bloom period by enjoying them in a bright room, but out of direct sun. Don’t fertilize. Enjoy this tip. It is not often that I advise you to leave something alone. Nature put all of the ‘food’ required to bloom in the bulb itself. That is why we call bulbs
‘nature’s miracle’. Water when the surface of the soil is dry. Not before. Allow your bulbs to sit in water and watch them rot. A little neglect will solve this ‘problem’. Allow the leaves to mature. When the flowers are finished, let the leaves grow and turn yellow. They are the ‘food factory’ of the bulb, converting the energy of the sun into plant sugars and pushing that goodness into the bulb root. And yes, place your bulbs in the sun when the flowers are finished. Plant in your garden. You thought you got a good deal on your flowering bulbs in the first place? Save the
plants until the frost is out of the ground, slip them out of their pot and plant them directly in the ground. Do not worry about frost as spring flowering bulbs have built-in anti freeze. With only a tiny bit of luck they will rebloom next spring at their natural time. Enjoy the colour and fragrance of bulbs in full bloom now. It is great therapy for all.

Down 3-0 to Panthers, Raiders in dire straits in league finals Punchless power-play plagues Raiders
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
It’s do or die for the Napanee Raiders this Saturday at the SPC as they look to climb out of a 3-0 hole against the Port Hope Panthers in the Empire B League’s best-of-seven series. The Panthers are in full command of the series following a 7-3 drubbing of the Raiders in Game 3 Tuesday night in Port Hope. The Panthers scored four times in the third period, twice into an empty net. Port Hope’s Dalton Lawrence opened the scoring just 1:21 into the game. That lead held until early in the second when Napanee's Chad Caskenette converted a pass from Cullen Hinds. It
mately yielded the same result with the Panthers pulling out a 5-4 overtime win at home Saturday and a 3-2 victory in Napanee on Sunday. Matthew Cavanaugh scored the game winner just 28 seconds into overtime to score a crucial victory. In Game 2 the Raiders coughed up two goals in a span of 46 seconds, watching a 1-1 tie turn to 3-1 deficit. In both games Napanee scored first, both times within the opening three minutes. On Saturday they held a 3-1 lead but couldn’t close it out. “Our power-play needs to be better,” Raiders coach Mike Hartwick said of his Adam Prudhomme-Staff team following Sunday’s Port Hope goalie Aaron Young manages to stop Napanee’s Tyler Romain’s loss. “Its let us down two shot while his teammate slides into him during an odd-man rush to the net. games in a row. It’s like night and day from where This play came during Game 2 of the series, played Sunday in Napanee. we came from in the last was all Port Hope from 17 on the night. Austin cut the lead to 5-3, but it series.” Port Hope has held there however as they Boulard and Tyler Romain was too little, too late. notched the next four goals scored less than a minute Games 1 and 2 were a Napanee 0-14 on the powerand outshot the visitors 60- apart early in the third to little closer though ulti- play this series. In Game 1
in particular Napanee failed to score on seven manadvantages before ultimately falling in overtime. “We’ve had opportunities on the power-play in both games, we didn’t take advantage,” said Hartwick. “We had opportunities the first game to build a solid lead, even though we had the lead, but we didn’t take advantage.” Paul Giusti has done his part for Napanee, starting all three games and giving his team a chance for the most part. He’s faced 119 shots over those games while his counterparts Aaron Young and Sheldon Calbury have seen just 53. The Raiders will attempt to prolong their season on Saturday when they host the Panthers for a 7:30 p.m. puck drop. If the Raiders win, Game 5 would go Tuesday night in Port Hope, Game 6 March 18 in Napanee and Game 7 March 20 in Port Hope.
Crusaders beat NDSS Hawks in SO, take KASSAA crown Third straight silver finish for Hawks hockey BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
ASSAA finals have become like a Ground Hog Day-esque nightmare come to life for the NDSS Golden Hawks girls hockey team, who lost to the Holy Cross Crusaders in a 1-0 shootout on Wednesday at Kingston’s Invista Centre. That makes three straight years the Hawks have lost to their Crusader rivals, all painfully close games. This time around the Hawks came about as close to the prize as they could get without hoisting it, battling their opponents to a scoreless tie through regulation time and a 10-minute 3-on-3 overtime. “They were obviously evenly matched teams and anytime you come down to a shootout, you roll the dice,” said Hawks coach Chad Miller. “Everything from
K
bad ice to a slip, who knows? But it was exciting stuff.” When overtime failed to determine a winner the game went to a shootout with each team selecting only three shooters. If the game was still tied after three rounds, those same shooters would repeat the process in a sudden death format. Napanee selected captains Erika Barton, Brianna Gaffney and Abby DeHaan. Gaffney, the team’s second shooter, utilized a nice deke move to score the Hawks’ only shootout goal. The excitement was short lived however as Holy Cross scored on their very next shot. Each goaltender stopped the next two shots before the Crusaders finally scored the decisive goal. “No matter what happened out there those girls were determined that they were going to leave it all out there,” said Miller. “They battled until the end and I couldn’t be more proud.” Hawks goalie Sara Kennedy turned in an outstanding game, making several acrobatic saves to keep the Crusaders scoreless. She was particularly sharp
in the second, when the Hawks struggled on the offset, failing to clear the puck out of their zone for the opening six minutes. NDSS killed off three penalties, not gaining their first power-play until the final two minutes. “I heard the post ring for each side,” said Miller. “That was a ‘who knows’ for both teams. Our girls left it all on the ice. They battled after a lot of them had four games playing EOSSAA (and a rep league game) the day before and coming back against a team that didn't see the ice.” Because of bad weather a week prior, the Hawks were forced to play the KASSAA championship one day after their silver finish at EOSSAA. Originally they were supposed to play the finals of KASSAA a full week before EOSSAA. Though it was yet another disappointing finish to an otherwise extremely successful season, the Hawks can take solace knowing they’ll have plenty of promising heading into next season. “We actually only have one Grade 12 player on the team so I see no high turn

A couple of hard losses in EOSSAA and the KASSAA championship are only
going to benefit us. When they see how close you can get and see how much harder you have to work to get to that next level, it’s only going to benefit them.” With the KASSAA winter team sports season
wrapped up, NDSS’ athletics program will now shift their focus to the upcoming spring season. Indoor practices will soon get underway while the season projects to get underway in late April, early May.

Stars quiet Thunder Midget Stars relish chance at history Advance to face NOTL in finals Beaver Sports
The Napanee Midget BB Stars have advanced to the Ontario BB Finals with a 54 win in Caledonia in Game 4. They will travel on up the QEW a little farther to face the Niagara-on-the-Lake Wolves in the finals. Saturday’s win followed their 5-0 shutout win on Friday night. In that game, the Stars dueled through an even first, until, with 12.5 seconds remaining, Nate Murphy’s point shot was tipped by Keir Doyle to put the locals up by one. Brendan Hagerman gained an assist on the power-play tally. Jonathan White continued to play solid between the posts. Early in the second, on a somewhat scrambled draw, centre Ryan Kirkpatrick deftly picked the puck off the dot, and fired it over the goalie’s outstretched glove. Not finished yet, Kyle Weese sent the puck toward the net. Jake Murphy pounced on the rebound before Hagerman flipped it over the netminder. Jake Murphy made it 4-0 with help from Hagerman and Keegan Wayte. Jake Wales continued the rout with a one-timer from the slot, on a feed from the corner by Jason McCracken. Call-up Kirkpatrick earned
his second point on the play. White earned the shutout. n The Napanee Atom BB Stars ended their quest to win their semifinal playoff series with Collingwood, losing 8-3 in Game 4. Napanee Crunch n The Napanee Novice Crunch wrapped up their season this past weekend. Although success wasn’t achieved in the win/loss column, success in novice shouldn’t be measured by wins or losses. As individuals everyone improved immensely. As a team they were a hard working, dedicated group. n The Napanee Atom Crunch team has advanced to the final of the Lower Lakes Playoffs after defeating Ennismore twice this weekend, 4-0 and 3-2 to win the series. Goals came from Chrissy Sutton, Lila Pringle (three), Mackenzie Tyner (two) and Abby Kish. Keyra Herrington played amazing in net in the series finale. The Atom girls will now play Peterborough for a chance to participate in the Lower Lakes Championship Tournament in April. n The Canwealth Veryea Sutton Peewee Crunch fell 2-0 to Cornwall this past weekend forcing Game 3 in their four point series to be played Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at the SPC.

uring Monday’s tuneup practice prior to the start of their OMHA finals, members of the Napanee Midget BB Stars glanced up to the Strathcona Paper Centre’s rafters. What caught their eye was a banner that hung high above the Goodyear pad’s surface that celebrated the last Napanee Stars midget team to win the provincial title-way back in 1986. That banner has served as a motivator for this club all season and throughout their playoff run as they look to break the three decade long drought. “It’s been 30 years, so it’d be pretty cool,” Stars alternate captain Jacob Murphy said of potentially winning the series. “It means a lot. Some of of guys, it’s their last competitive year unless they play junior. It’s their last kick at the can.” After several rough seasons of struggling to reach even double digits in wins, the team came together this year, going 19-2-1. They’ve since dispatched the PEC Kings, South Muskoka Bears and Caledonia Thunder, going 9-1-3 during their playoff run. They capped their semifinal series in fashion as Kier Doyle notched the game winner in a hard-fought Game 4. “It felt awesome,” Doyle, also an alternate captain, said of scoring the game winner. “One of the best parts about it was it was the same system that we’ve been running all year, since the second practice. It was perfect, we’ve got guys busting to get to the puck, get it out front and bang it home. It was great.” Doyle, who was a member of those teams that went through their share of grow-

Everyone can count on everyone. We’ve really come together as a team.” “It feels good to win again,” added Murphy. “This age group won two (OMHA titles) in novice and then after that we didn’t really do much. We did well in atom but it feels good to finally be winning again.” With each series win they’ve garnered more attention from the town, drawing larger crowds. “(Friday’s) 5-0 win in

front of our home town was nice,” said alternate captain Nate Murphy, referring to their Game 3 win in Napanee over the Thunder. “There was a lot of people here watching, it was great to see.” Like the other two captains, Murphy says this year’s run has been particularly meaningful to do it in their hometown. “A lot of these guys played here their whole life,” said Nate Murphy. “There’s a couple of guys, including myself, have won (an OMHA) for themselves, but certainly not this late in their lives. They’ve put in a lot of work to get where they are, that's for sure.” Many of the players agree there were times during their long losing stretch that the idea of hanging up the skates crept into their minds. Those thoughts were quickly silenced however by their passion and love for the game. That dedication has certainly paid dividends already with the potential for
the ultimate pay out on the horizon. Standing between them and NDMHA’s first midget banner in the 21st century is the Niagara-on-the-Lake Wolves, a team the Stars have yet to see this season. “We’re just going on hearsay, but we think really any team we see, as long as we put together our best game, we can put up a fight and beat any team,” said Nate Murphy. “It’s not one guy, it’s everybody on the team stepping up. You never know who it’s going to be next.” The Stars won the coin flip, earning home ice advantage in the first-to-six-points series. Game 1 is Friday at the SPC in Napanee, with a 7 p.m. puck drop. Game 2 is March 20 in NOTL, Game 3 is on March 25 at 8 p.m. at the SPC, Game 4 (if necessary) is March 26 at NOTL, Game 5 (if necessary) is March 27 at 2 p.m. at the SPC, and Game 6 (if necessary) is March 28 at NOTL.

CARDS OF THANKS
The family of Thelma Butler would like to thank everyone for the love and support given to us during the loss of our mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, sister and aunt. We wish to thank the many friends and relatives who joined us at the visitation and funeral to mourn her passing and share in the celebration of her long and full life. We know that Mom would have been delighted and maybe a little amazed by the numbers. We especially want to thank Rev. Ian Ritchie for his kindness and thoughtfulness in organizing and conducting the funeral service, Joanne Fenwick for graciously agreeing to play the organ and Carol Nacu and the members of St. Luke’s Anglican Church for providing refreshments for the funeral reception. We would also like to say a heartfelt thank you to the Doctors and staff of the Palliative Care unit at the Lennox and Addington County General Hospital who cared for Mom. To the many care workers who helped Mom continue to live at home over the past few years, we would like to say, “Job well done” and we know that you will also miss her. And to Dr. Cowan, we truly appreciated the kindhearted way you treated her over the years. Finally, we would like to express our thanks to Lindsey and the staff of the Hannah Funeral Home for their kind support.
MEMORIAMS
HUGHES - In loving memory of Vivian F. Hughes who passed away March 9, 2015. Remembrance is a gold chain Death tries to break, but all in vain; To have, to love, and then to part, Is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart. The years may wipe out many things, But this they wipe out neverThe memory of those happy days When we were all together. Lovingly remembered by husband Bill, Nancy (Dave), Pat (Wayne), David (Michelle), grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
BERGSTROME (nee Hamilton), Dorothy Elizabeth
Passed away peacefully on March 4, 2016 at Champlain Manor Retirement Home in Orillia Ontario, with her loving sons Brant and David nearby. She was born January 31, 1927 in the family home in Avonmore, ON where she attended grade school and high school. Dorothy studied at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal to become a Registered Nurse, where she met her loving husband Brant. After graduation and a short stint in the United States, she settled in Napanee, ON where she and Brant had a large family medical practice at their home. Dorothy was instrumental in working with Brant in campaigning for the construction of the Lennox and Addington County General Hospital (1966) where she served as the founding president of the Hospital Auxiliary Club. In the mid 70’s Dorothy studied to become a stock broker, and subsequently worked at Walwyn Stodgell Cochran Murray stock Broker’s office in Kingston, ON. Most of Dorothy’s career was spent working with her husband Brant in the medical practice located at their home in Napanee and on weekends at the ‘camp’ where they saw patients every Saturday. Dorothy and Brant practiced for some 50 years and Dorothy retired at 77 years of age working side by side with her husband until the very last day of the practice. She was predeceased by her husband Brant, son Douglas, and her sister Marguerite (aka Tootie). She is survived by her loving brother Bill Hamilton, her children Brant and David, her grandchildren Eric, Lyell, Jillian, Clara, Benjamin, Emma, Molly, Grace and Kristin (Stevenson). Fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. It was her wish that her ashes be retained and combined with those of her husband Brant. The family is not having a formal service, but will have a celebration of her life at ‘camp’ at some point in the summer. Donations to The Lennox and Addington General Hospital Foundation will be remembered with appreciation by the family. Messages of condolence are welcomed at www.mundellfuneralhome.com

Banner year for Golden Hawks’ curling rinks
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
It was a clean sweep for the NDSS Golden Hawks’ curling program this season as for the first time in the school’s history all three teams-boys, girls and mixed, qualified for EOSSAA. The boys were the most successful of the group, winning the KASSAA title and
reaching the playoff round of EOSSAA before losing in the bronze medal game. “It was a really successful season for (the boys),� said Hawks curling coach Mark Dunham. “Our goal was to win KASSAA at the outset, which we did. Then winning a game at EOSSAA was good because we hadn’t really been there before. We did double that. It was good to get to the playoff round. It was really exciting and

good curling. I’m proud of the guys, they played well and put in a lot of hard work into the year.� The team was made up of Ian Murphy, Austin Dunham, Joey Botting, Gabe Charlebois and Brandon Wagner. Team chemistry was the recipe for success, as the team seemed to mesh well from the beginning. Most of the team had graduated through the system as junior curlers. NDSS came close to a bronze finish at EOSSAA, pushing Cornwall's La Citadelle to an extra end before losing 9-8. In the semifinals the Hawks bowed out in the sixth end, down 6-3. They went 2-1 in round robin, besting Cornwall's Holy Trinity 9-0 and Pembroke’s Fellows 6-5 in an extra end, sandwiched around a 7-5 loss to Almonte. At KASSAA the Hawks bested Regi and KCVI before meeting their old rivals the Holy Cross Crusaders in the finals. “It was really one of those games where you live and die with each shot,� said coach Dunham. The game came down to one final shot, with the Hawks holding the hammer. NDSS needed just one to win the game. An almost

for the Hawks to steal the victory. “It was a big win because Holy Cross has been the team to beat the last couple of years.� said Dunham. “We always seem to be losing to Holy Cross somewhere along the line and not going to EOSSAA. So to beat them was the monkey off our back because we finally did it.� As for the girls, they were made up of Brienne Tofflemire (skip), Natalie Scilley (vice), Hailey Duffy (second) and Nicole Beer (lead). They took on the Regi Panthers in the finals. “The girls were a shot away from winning their second straight KASSAA crown,� said Dunham. “We had just an over sweep on a rock that we needed to stop on a full four foot.� The game was in extra

ends, tied 7-7. NDSS had one final shot to score a point and take home the title. “The weight was great and if we had just stopped sweeping a little bit earlier we would have won,� said Dunham. Though they didn’t win KASSAA, just being a finalist was enough for the Hawks to qualify for EOSSAA. Unfortunately the Hawks never found their footing in that tournament, getting eliminated before the playoffs. Meanwhile the mixed team also qualified for EOSSAA on the strength of reaching the KASSAA finals. They bested KCVI 7-4 in the semifinals. At EOSSAA they won their first game. With several teams tied, the final playoff spot was determined via shootout, which NDSS failed to win. That team, which is made up of Wagner (skip), Emma Collard (vice), Liam Benton (second), Emma Schmidt (lead) and Nathaniel Chadwick (alternate second), was scheduled to take part in the KASSAA championship game yesterday. Results weren’t known at press time.

Thursday, March 10, 2016 TAXATION FROM PAGE 1 Insp. Finnegan said information regarding the difference between residential and non-residential calls could be provided; however, location would only state “Greater Napanee” for all calls. He said the same could be done for type of occurrence, such as violence, property, drug related, etc. but again the location would be generic. He noted that “information is not available” to determine average response times for each occurrence and/or location. Insp. Finnegan said he would attend the next TPRC meeting, scheduled for March 30 at 7 p.m., and would be available to answer further questions from the committee at that time. Council discussed Scandlan’s TPRC report with some questions, which mainly surrounded policing. Other concerns were brought up regarding fire services and boundaries. Ward 5 Councillor Shaune Lucas asked Scandlan what the “trend” is among other municipalities’ taxation rates, when it comes to policing. Scandlan said many municipalities start out with a tiered policing tax system but normally end up with a single “harmonized” tax. “The trend recently is moving toward… more of a
T H E
consistent way of providing the service,” said Scandlan. “I think it’s more that as you, as a council, moves forward you’ll want to harmonize the services that you provide to your residents.” Ward 4 Councillor Carol Harvey questioned whether the level of service provided by the OPP varies among different areas in Greater Napanee, which she felt would be the deciding factor when it comes to a tiered tax rates for services. “I appreciate that you asked the (commander) and the OPP for a lot of questions. Was he ever asked: ‘Do you think there’s a difference in the level of service you provide in Greater Napanee?’” Which Scandlan replied, “In my conversation with the commander, he believes that we provide a consistent level of service.” Harvey asked the same question regarding to fire services. Scandlan said while the committee did not directly ask the fire chief that question, the committee felt serv-
N A PA N E E
ices regarding fire was not measured by level of service, but instead by response time. “We asked for statistics and information. The committee felt that response time was the differentiation for the service,” said Scandlan. Harvey said she disagreed with that conclusion. “I visited the fire department here and I asked that question and their perception is that there is no difference in the level of service. And, we discussed an incident, a fire call, that came in out on Highway 33 and Dorland was there in 10 minutes, Bath was there the same time, and Napanee was there four minutes later. The other thing they informed me of was that when a call comes from rural Greater Napanee, there’s much more trucks and equipment sent. Always two tankers, it costs a lot more to go,” said Harvey. “I felt that if it’s basically the same level of service, we weren’t going to area-rate anything. We’re just going to add up the costs between
NEWS / 27
B E AV E R
urban and rural,” she added. As for boundaries, Scandlan said they vary by service. “We didn’t discuss boundaries until we discussed cost and how we would attribute it,” said Scandlan. Areas with sidewalks and streetlights
make for easy boundaries but determining a boundary for policing has been difficult. The Taxation Policy Review Committee will hold a public meeting at the Strathcona Paper Centre at 7 p.m. on March 29. The follow-
ing day, the TPRC will hold its final meeting, which will include Insp. Finnegan from the Napanee OPP. Scandlan will present a final report and recommendation to council during its regular council meeting on April 12.

Easter egg hunt back this Sunday
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Easter comes to Napanee early this weekend so kids will have the opportunity to hunt for eggs, cuddle with bunnies, enjoy public skating and more. This Sunday marks the seventh annual Easter egg hunt, which supports the Poverty Reduction Committee. Serendipity Studios is organizing the event at the
Strathcona Paper Centre beginning at 10 a.m. with a pancake breakfast. Jen Fitzpatrick, of Serendipity Studios, said there are a number of changes taking place this year in order to accommodate the growing number of kids who participate in the event each year. “We’re allowing families to preregister online. They can purchase their tickets on there, which is great,” said Fitzpatrick. “It includes an outdoor egg hunt, pan-
cake breakfast, pubic skating, crafts, a bunny hopping show, and a photo with the bunnies. The nice thing about the online registration is that they can actually choose their egg hunt time.” In the past, egg hunts have been scattered throughout the morning according to children’s ages. This year there will be three outdoor egg hunts, which are open to children of all ages so families can take all
their kids to hunt for eggs together. “We’ve had so many kids in the past, about 300 kids, so this way parents can choose 10 a.m., 10:30 a.m. or 11 a.m. and eat their pancakes before or after they do the egg hunt,” she said. Registration can be done online at www.happydiscoveries.ca but Fitzpatrick said they would still be taking walk-ins the day of the event. Children day passes are $10 and adults are $5.

For further information call Carol at 613-546-2256.
Children under two are free. All proceeds from the event go to support the Poverty Reduction Committee. Funds will be used locally toward the warm toes and backpack programs. Following the egg hunt and pancake breakfast families will be invited to take part in public skating from noon to 1 p.m. Also at this time crafts will be available to kids. At 1:30 p.m. the Furs,
Feathers, and Fins Agricultural Petting Zoo, from Lyndhurst Ont., will put on a performance with real bunnies and guinea pigs. After that, Serendipity Studios will take pictures of kids with live bunnies until 3 p.m. Fitzpatrick said she is looking for volunteers to help run the event.

Rite of the season: Spring cleaning The snow is melting, birds are chirping and spring breezes signal that warmer weather is on its way. I can’t wait to take out my front porch and patio furniture. I’m already planning in my head what to plant, and where things will all go. I’m even excited about painting the outside of my home again. The first wave of spring warmth gets in my head! Many of us do an all-out session of spring cleaning, but even small, simple jobs can bring the season’s freshness inside. So why do we find ourselves compulsed to clean in the spring? There isn’t any documented medical evidence that spring cleaning is a compulsion; rather, it seems to be rooted in tradition more than anything else. Exactly why do we traditionally clean our homes at the beginning of spring? Those of us in the West may be surprised to find that it’s possibly rooted in customs found in the East. The Chinese are said to be the originator of spring cleaning. It is customary for the Chinese to clean their homes in anticipation of the

Design Time New Year. The Chinese sweep their floors and clean their homes to rid of bad luck and misfortune that may have accumulated during the previous year. In Jewish custom, Passover is a time of house cleaning as well. Ultimately, spring cleaning may have more to do with simple biology. During winter, we’re exposed to less sunlight due to shorter, often dreary days. With a lack of exposure to light, the pineal gland produces melatonin- a hormone that produces
sleepiness in humans. Conversely, when we’re exposed to sunlight, our bodies produce much less melatonin. It’s possible that we spring clean simply because we wake up from a winter long melatonin-induced stupor and find energy as the days grow longer when spring arrives. Even the small, simple jobs can bring the season’s freshness inside. The most affordable way to give your home a pick-me-up is to start spring cleaning and give it a good old top to bottom cleaning. Shake the winter doldrums out of your home with some easy ideas to help you swing into spring. On a beautiful, sunny day there is nothing more satisfying than cleaning windows. Sunny days look brighter through clean windows, so tackle the grime that winter storms have left behind on interior and exterior windows now. Whether you are an advocate of the dilutedvinegar-and-newspapers approach, or simply Windex and paper towel, choose a bright, still day to clean exterior windows. Many new windows today allow you to fold the windows in to clean the

closed doors, this can create a build-up of stale odors in any home. When you live with them, your nose learns to ignore them, but nothing screams ‘spring is here!’ like a freshly-aired house. Air out your house on a sunny, warm afternoon to bring spring’s freshness inside. Opening doors and windows to catch a breeze will chase away old cooking smells and any stale or musty odors that have built up during the winter months. After a few hours, close all windows and doors, and then undertake surfaces which may have dust or pollen that settled out in the breeze. Consider taking down heavy drapes and curtains or at least opening them wide. If privacy is a concern, insert a sheep panel that lets the sunshine in. Good lighting, especially natural light helps transform any room into a brighter, airier, more upbeat space. We all love to bring out the fleecy sweats, flannel pajamas and warm blankets at the first sign of fall, but by season’s end, we have out welcomed these cuddly favourites. As warmer weather approaches, take a good look at the family’s coldweather bedding and winter warmers, separate out the pilled flannel sheets and shrunken loungewear for recycling or donations. As you return winter bedding and clothing to closet storage areas, make a list of any needed replacements. End of season sales make it easy and cheap to replace linens and clothes. One thing that many of us hate to do is clean out the dreaded refrigerator, afraid to find what is lurking in the very back, out of sight. With the arrival of a new season, it is a good signal to clean out stored food in the refrigerator and pantry. As farmer’s markets and roadside stands open to offer fresh food for
the season, create a good home by cleaning out the remains of winter. Make a quick check of expiration dates of food stored in refrigerator or pantry and toss expired food. Give vegetable storage areas special attention, toss limp bearded carrots, limp celery, and shriveled onions to the compost bun. Be ready to store spring’s bounty in a clean and roomy vegetable crisper. To give your home a fresh look, painting is one of the most economical ways to make a big impact, whether you want to inject colour, soften the tones of your existing colour scheme or simply freshen things up. A new colour can completely change the look of your room. Plants help you bring the outdoors in, and since everything is fresh and green, it feels good to bring some greenery into the home. Even if the budget won’t stretch to regular purchases of cut flowers, spring’s blooms make it easy to spark up a home with fresh blossoms. Cut small branches from a flowering tree, or gather ready to bloom daffodils and tulips from the garden. Even an inexpensive bundle of cut flowers from the grocery store can bring a splash of spring colour and fragrance to your home. Spring cleaning may seem like drudgery, but try to think of it as an inexpensive redecorating tool. If you get the tough stuff out of the way quickly, you can move on to the fun projects. These helpful ideas are sure to bring a spring into your step as the weather gets warmer, grass greener and days longer.

WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TFSAS Are you saving for a trip? Maybe you're renovating your home? How about that new car you've had your eye on? A tax-free savings account (TFSA) could be just the thing to jump-start your savings. Here are some TFSA tips to get you on the path to success and savings: 1) Understand your TFSA contribution room
Your contribution room is made up of three factors: the annual TFSA dollar limit, any unused contribution room from the previous year, and any withdrawals made during the previous year. The annual TFSA dollar limit for 2016 is $5,500. 2) Know your limit Now that you're on your way to smart savings, it is important to know about
over-contributing to your TFSA. If you deposit more than your contribution room limit, you could be taxed on the excess amount. The best thing you can do is withdraw the extra contribution as soon as possible to reduce further tax implications. 3) Say “I do” to TFSA notification of overcontribution. If you over-contribute to
your TFSA, you will receive notification that will indicate you may be subject to a possible tax. It's important to respond within 30 days. Let's bust a couple of myths about TFSAs:
Many men and women working to reduce their debt feel like they are fighting an uphill battle. Until debt is eliminated, interest will continue to accrue, so even those consumers who make their monthly payments on time may feel as though they’re getting nowhere with regard to restoring their financial standing. But making monthly payments on time and paying more than the minimum is the best way to eliminate debt, even if this approach forces consumers to make certain sacrifices along the way. Men and women may be tempted to take certain shortcuts on the road to eliminating their debts, but such shortcuts are not always what they seem. The following are a handful of mistakes that men and women faced with significant consumer debt should avoid as they work to improve their financial situations. • Use credit to pay off debt. Many credit card companies offer cash advances to their
cardholders, who can easily be tempted to accept such offers as they look to pay down balances on other cards. But using one credit line to pay off another can land you even deeper in debt, as cash advances and balance transfers also are subject to interest charges, meaning you won’t really be eliminating debt but simply shifting it from one card to another, all the while being charged to make that switch. • Pay only the minimum. Credit card statements include both a minimum payment as well as how long it will take to pay off existing debts if you only make the minimum payment. When balances are considerable, it can take years to eliminate debt if you are only paying the minimum. Even if money is tight, find a way to pay more than the minimum each month. If you don’t, your total balance likely won’t decrease by much and your credit rating, which takes your debt to credit ratio into account when calculating your credit score,
will not benefit greatly even though you are making your monthly payments on time. • Continue using credit. If you are currently mired in considerable debt, resist the temptation to use your credit cards. That will only compound the current problem. Use only debit cards or cash when making purchases so you know you are not spending money you don’t have. In addition, every time you use a credit card and don’t pay the balance in full when the bill is due, you will be forced to pay interest charges, which makes the items you buy more expensive than if you were to simply pay with cash or a debit card. • Pay down the wrong debts first. When faced with substantial debt, many people take a methodical approach to eliminating their
debts, paying down one card and then moving on to another and so on. Though it can be motivating to methodically eliminate debt obligations, it’s best to pay down those debts with the highest interest rate before paying off smaller debts. The more interest that accrues, the deeper your debt hole becomes. So make a list of your debts and their corresponding interest charges, and work to pay down the high-interest debts first, even if that means you won’t be eliminating balances as quickly as you might if you paid down smaller debts first. Debt can feel like an albatross over consumers’ heads. But avoiding certain mistakes when eliminating debt can help the process go more quickly and smoothly.

Myth #2: I just started my career; I don't have enough job stability to open a TFSA. It doesn't matter if you're a co-op student, career beginner, or retiree. Opening a TFSA can help you save at any stage in life.
Myth #3: I don't think I can contribute enough each year to make a TFSA worthwhile. You can contribute as little or as much as you want within your TFSA contribution room. And what you don't contribute this year gets added on to your contribution room for next year. Whether you're preparing for a graduation, vacation, or renovation, a TFSA could be the right savings tool to put more money in your pocket.
