A trio of protestors are facing charges following Saturday’s onehour standoff at the Wyman Road CN rail crossing. Napanee OPP arrested four men after protesters occupied the tracks, forcing all trains to shutdown service for most of the day before re-opening Saturday night. The OPP later released one man unconditionally but did charge the other three men. Further arrests and charges could be possible pending a police investigation. OPP Sergeant Kristine Rae, speaking outside the Napanee OPP detachment following the arrests, noted that a police cruiser’s window was smashed by one of the protesters at the scene. Both the suspect and an officer suffered minor injuries. Those were the only injuries reported. Currently facing charges are 49-year-old Shawn Brant, who is facing two counts of mischief; 27year-old Marc Baille, who was charged with mischief over $5,000, assault with a weapon, possession of a dangerous weapon and breach of probation; and 38-year-old Matthew Doreen, who was charged with obstructing police and mischief. Brant and Doreen, both from Tyendinaga, are scheduled to appear before a judge in Napanee on April 1. Baille, who is from Kingston, was remanded and

appeared in court on Monday. During the standoff police closed County Road 1 at Marysville Road to most traffic. It remained closed for about four hours. Wyman Road remained closed for most of the day as police conducted their investigation and made sure no damage was done to the tracks before allowing trains to pass through. The rail blockade followed a near week-long Shannonville Road blockade which saw dozens of protestors set up a teepee in the middle of the road. A heavy police presence was seen in the area throughout the week, patrolling all Highway 401 overpasses and railroads. Early Saturday morning the protesters left Shannonville Road on their own accord before a group headed to Wymans Road to set up the rail blockade. “We have been here before, there have been other protests in the area,” said Sgt. Rae, noting that protestors have blocked train tracks in the area in the past. “We learn. We try to make sure our bases are covered and that’s the best thing we can do.” Though the protesters made no formal threat about moving to the tracks, the OPP and CN Police were prepared for that possibility. OPP kept a watchful eye on the road blockade throughout the week, vowing to step in if they felt the situation compromised public safety.

Stone Mills Township
Councillor Steele enters race for reeve
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
ITH 14 years of experience in municipal politics, Stone Mills Ward 2 (Sheffield) Councillor Todd Steele is the first to put his name forward to run for township reeve. Steele first ran for council when he was 21. Since then, he has lost one election and sat one out, but has been on council every other term since then. “I was encouraged to run (for reeve) and I had the time to do so and I’ve had experience as councillor and deputy reeve, so the next step was to run for reeve,� said Steele on Tuesday after submitting his
W
nomination papers. Steele, who was born and raised in Tamworth, said that while he has a passion for that village, as reeve he would hold that passion for the whole township. “I think that an important part of the reeve’s responsibility is to be visible in the municipality, to attend events, to show that pride of the township,� he said. First and foremost, Steele said his top priority is to keep taxes low. “We’re one of the highest taxpayers in this county, so (I will be) keeping an eye on taxes and making hard decisions and taking a serious look at the services we provide,� said Steele. “For all local politicians the biggest thing is taxes.

Keeping taxes in line sometimes requires tough decisions. I’m far from a ‘yes man’ and sometimes I don’t make popular decisions but I make them because I think that’s what’s best for everybody. And no doubt that will cost me some votes but that’s politics and I’m prepared for that,� said Steele. Steele said budgeting has been getting increasingly more difficult each year and with increasing OPP costs, and rising costs in other services, township staff and councillors are having a harder time holding the line with the township’s budget. “Every year has gotten progressively tougher when it comes to budgets. Twenty years ago, the budget process was simple, but not anymore,� he said. Policing costs have increased again this year, accounting for another two per cent of the township’s budget. Steele said these increases have to stop. “Something has to happen there,� he said. Since the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus has taken the lead on fighting rising OPP costs, and if elected as reeve, Steele plans to continue to support their fight. “Policing is out of hand, in my opinion. In Stone Mills we’re paying just

Candidate for reeve Todd Steele says he’d make limiting tax increases a top priority. under $1 million. That’s crazy. It’s just a matter of standing up for what’s right and taking a stand on those things. I like that (Greater) Napanee (council) made a motion to with-
hold the rest of the (increased) funds, that’s good. I would be certainly not opposed to looking into something like that,� said Steele. Aside from the budget,
Steele said another difficulty the township is faced with is satisfying such a large area, consisting of many small, unique villages. “Probably one of the biggest challenges in my opinion is because Stone Mills is such a large geographic municipality. We’ve got a number of small villages but no major towns. Each has it’s own unique feel and unique people and you have to respect that,� he said. “Over the past two terms of council, we’ve worked really hard with some of the committee groups and communities and a lot of great things have happened. The amalgamation wanted to force everything to be the same but you can’t do that,� Steele continued. He said his goal is to encourage togetherness, while also recognizing and respecting each village’s character, to build better communities and increase tourism in the township. “The county, in my opinion, does a great job of promoting tourism and economic development and as a member of county council, as reeve, I would play a part in that,� said Steele, hoping for the opportunity to work with Lennox and Addington County council.

Tamworth residents gather for a ‘spirit walk’ through the village last Wednesday night.
Tamworth community rallies after shootings Village holds ‘spirit walk’ to bounce back
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
A mere week removed from a tragedy that shook the community, the village of Tamworth gathered together Wednesday night to show its spirit. Led by Shari Milligan, about 150 neighbours met at the Stone Mills Recreation Centre to embark on a cathartic walk through the village. They completed a loop through Main Street and returned to the arena for hot chocolate provided by the local Lions Club. The walk was their way of reclaiming their hometown after it was the scene of a gunman’s rampage that left one man dead and two people seriously injured. The shooter ultimately took his life but not before threatening others in the usually peaceful and quiet community. “As soon as I knew things were over I just wanted to be in the village with people,” Milligan said of her reasons for organizing the walk. “Friday morning I put on my Facebook ‘anybody want to go for a walk?’ and I seriously just thought maybe a couple of people would come down Friday and go for a walk. As the day went on there was way more interest.” That prompted Milligan to move the day of the walk to last Wednesday to give more people a chance to participate. Among the many groups that joined in were students from Tamworth Public School, who Milligan says needed closure after they heard of the tragic events. “This is what community is all about,” said Milligan. “It just shows what the town is all about. Bad things happen everywhere. Thankfully this is a horrible thing and we do react this way because that means this is abnormal. We
to where it was.” Despite the chilly weather the event was very well attended with about half the village’s population turning out to show their support. “I wasn’t surprised at all,” Kidd said of the large number of walkers. “I knew that we would have this many people. There’s a lot of familiar faces here… The three people involved, they’re here, they’re smiling. It’s awesome.” Those injured by the shooter received a huge round of applause when they entered the arena and were met with hugs and smiles.
don’t live in a place where this happens everyday.” Among those groups who turned out in force for the walk was the Tamworth Station of the Stone Mills Fire Department, who saw one of their own injured by the shooter. A pair of their trucks led the march through town, one of which was adorned with a banner that read ‘Tamworth Has Spirit.’ “I think it’s great for the community to get together,” said Tim Kidd, captain of the fire department. “It shows that we’re not afraid to come back out of our houses. We’re getting the community spirit back

EDITORIAL
All too familiar Native activist Shawn Brant once again found himself on the wrong side of the authorities after staging blockades last week, first along some roadways west of Napanee, and later on the very busy CN railway track. The reason for these latest blockades is the federal government’s decision not to commission a national public inquiry into missing and murdered native women in Canada. We’ve long wondered if these blockades serve to advance the issues they’re protesting; a strong argument can be made that they actually do more harm to ‘the cause’ than good. These sideshows do more to distract from the real issues, and contribute to the maintenance of the status quo. But is ‘the cause’ in this case just? Absolutely. We don’t have to condone this latest blockade — and we certainly don’t condone this blockade, or the violence that allegedly came along with it — to argue that a public inquiry into these tragic cases of missing and murdered native women is necessary. An all-party committee made up of MPs, however, suggested that no such inquiry was needed in a report tabled recently. Although the committee heard from a number of witnesses — many of whom were family members of those women and girls who were victims of homicides or who have gone missing — the committee opted for a conservative set of recommendations. Many of those recommendations were parts of pre-existing programs or initiatives. None of the recommendations include a call for an inquiry. It should be noted that both Liberal and NDP members of the committee offered dissenting opinions to the report’s final recommendations, and were critical of the fact that the report did not push for a full public inquiry. Why is such an inquiry necessary? For starters, it would take a much deeper look into this national tragedy than what’s been done in the past (and, as the witnesses at the committee’s hearings noted, precious little has been done in the past). The issue would be taken out of the political realm. Further, it would (presumably) lead to some resolution for affected families and communities, as well as lead to some meaningful (and hopefully binding) next steps. The fact that the latest report got a resounding thumbsdown from native leadership is not surprising. Throughout the hearings, the committee heard time and again that an inquiry was needed. Those calls were ignored. The families and communities affected by the disproportionate number of their sisters, mothers and daughters being murdered or going missing already feel as though they’ve been ignored. However, it appears that they’re only getting more of the same.
Letter to the Editor
New elections act found lacking MP Daryl Kramp’s comments in the press last week in support of the (Un)Fair Elections Act were typical Conservative propaganda. Equally disappointing was that he voted (along with the entire Conservative caucus) against the Opposition’s call for cross-Canada Committee Meetings to discuss the Fair Elections Act. Think about that. Rather than being able to tell parliamentarians in their own communities the concerns they might have about this act, Canadians

were told they could drive to Ottawa or Skype in if they wanted to provide feedback to one of the most important rights of citizenship: the right to vote in fair elections. There is a much that is not fair about the Fair Elections Act. It is a blatant attempt by the Harper Government to once again undermine our democracy. Changes to the act that minimize the vote in a sector of the population least likely to vote Conservative is deplorable. Once again, Harper is showing his true colours: Harper’s Government is only interested in its base, plus the 10 per cent of the populace that it has micro-targeted to most likely vote Conservative. Forget the rest of the electorate; forget about the rest of Canadians. They would prefer the rest of us just to stay home.
SEE ACT | PAGE 7 >
Thursday, March 13, 2014 ACT FROM PAGE 6 What is even more disconcerting is the Harper Government’s goal of minimizing another thorn in their side, by minimizing the ability of the Chief Electoral Officer to perform the duties of his original mandate. If they truly wanted a fairer electoral process they would give the Chief Electoral officer more power and more importantly more resources to perform his task. The problems in the Act are not with the mandate of the Chief Electoral officer, but with the lack of resources for him to properly investigate the wrongdoings perpetuated on an unsuspecting electorate. But Harper’s Conservatives do not wish to fix the real problems with the Act. They would rather fix the problem with the Chief Electoral Officer investigating their misdeeds. This is a common thread with the Harper Government: if they don’t like someone looking too closely or disagreeing with their view, then attack, bully, manipulate, obfuscate, circumvent and ultimately change the laws to better suit their purposes. We cannot allow this to continue. Not only are our democratic institutions being undermined, the future of our country is being unnecessarily jeopardized just to appease their desire to rule. We need to once again strengthen our democratic institutions. More importantly, we need to start to find common ground. We have to get past the polarization, the ‘us against them’ mentality. We must include not just more voters, but more voices in the laying out a vision for our country — a vision where we find common ground and work together for a better Canada, a Canada that will once again lead the world in doing what is right because it is the right thing to do! We can no longer run our country in a manner that suits the interests of a party. That path leads to ruin for all Canadians. Canadians deserve better and should demand better. Mike Bossio, Candidate for Liberal Nomination for Hastings-Lennox and Addington

Staff picks: Flee, Fly, Flown Marg Wood of the Napanee Branch of the Library recently read Evergreen Award 2014 nominated Flee, Fly, Flown. “Flee, Fly, Flown is a first novel by Canadian author and poet Janet Hepburn,” says Coles’ Marg. “The tag line for the book is ‘You’re never too old for adventure’ and the travelling trio in this book certainly proves that. “It is a delightful read whose main characters, Lillian and Audrey, escape from a nursing home in Ottawa where life has become stifling and set off on a journey west for a much needed holiday away from the confines of the home. They ‘borrow’ a car and set off on their great adventure! Along the way they meet Rayne, a young pot-smoking man who has had some run-ins with the law. He agrees to be
their driver since Lillian has discovered that she is no longer a great driver (slight exaggeration here) and he wants to go back out west to where his estranged family lives. “As they drive it becomes evident Notes to Rayne that Lillian and Audrey are suffering from dementia and somewhere in Northern Ontario he realizes that the ladies are the two missing elderly patients that the OPP are searching for. Lillian’s passionate plea convinces Rayne to continue their journey despite his better judgment. The story continues with the unlikely companions finding themselves in a number of comic situations including an overnight camp-out and a winning trip to a casino. “This novel sheds some light on how scary it must feel to be

growing old and feeling alone and to realize that your mind isn’t as sharp as it used to be,” Marg concludes. “It is a poignant, sometimes very funny, sometimes extremely sad look at the aging mind and humanity.” You can reserve this novel at

Waterfowl affected by brutal Ontario winter It is -27C degrees as I write this at 4:30 a.m. on March 6. I guess we can assume that winter will continue, until it is finished. It has been an unforgiving winter, well beyond the inane comments we have been hearing such as “old fashioned winter” and “winters when I was a child”, ad infinitum. This has been a winter like no other with every conceivable challenge tossed into the mix, beginning with an ice storm in December and accompanying power losses, followed by wind and snow beyond imagination and unrelenting cold temperatures that are expected to continue into April. We learned new terms, like frost quakes and polar vortex. And right in the thick of it were the propane companies who have had a field day with the higher demand for heat by doubling their prices to their suppliers who then had to pass the increase on to their customers. A winter we won’t soon forget as we wait for spring flowers and summer temperatures. It has been a difficult year too for wildlife, especially waterfowl. It started promptly, in December, with the ice storm. The crust on the snow rendered it impossible for owls and hawks to find rodents. They suffered. Many died. Red-tailed hawks and harriers, species we seldom see in the backyard, became an issue at backyard bird feeders. Typically,
they are not as inclined to prey on birds, unlike the Accipiter family — Cooper’s and sharp-shinned. However, hardest hit this winter were waterfowl. It wasn’t just here either; it was all across Ontario. This winter, the Great Lakes were more than 90 per cent frozen over. Spring migrating northbound ducks are not genetically programmed to reverse migrate like some species when they encounter bad weather conditions. Instead, ducks will simply hunker down and wait for conditions to improve. If conditions remain cold and relentless like this winter with no improvement, only the extremely hardy make it. In the Quinte region, ducks and swans have been literally falling from the sky, exhausted and emaciated. Fish eating ducks like mergansers have turned up on driveways, parking lots, and in the middle of highways, often many kilometres from the nearest body of water. This winter, the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre in Napanee has been swamped with weak and starving waterfowl, brought in by volunteers who have rescued them, simply by bending over and picking them up. The long, cold winter has left rivers, streams, lakes and ponds frozen over, preventing the birds from reaching the water they need. “This has been a crisis,” says director Sue Meech. In an effort to downplay
Terry Sprague
Outdoor Rambles winter severity and starvation as the cause of these massive dieoffs, it has been offered that avian botulism might be part of the picture too. due to higher than normal waterfowl concentrations as ducks migrate north right now and occupy what precious little water they can find. However, all dead swans and ducks submitted to Guelph, says Sue Meech, have had no sign of botulism illness. A preliminary diagnosis has shown emaciation and no stored fat, and muscle mass severely diminished. At Barcovan Beach, in Wellers Bay, about 20 mute swans died, before volunteers with the Napanee wildlife facility started offering them corn, saving the rest of them, including a half dozen rare Trumpeter Swans that
had also found the tiny spot of open water at the dredged channel. In Cobourg, a gentleman there was fined twice by an overzealous bylaw officer for feeding the waterfowl in Cobourg Harbour. Surprisingly, a Cobourg naturalist club, whose president serves as an assistant to the mayor, sided with the decision to fine the good Samaritan on the basis that a bylaw prohibits the feeding of waterfowl at the harbour, no exceptions. Council refused to look out the window from its climate controlled council chambers at the real world outside. Finally through public opposition, Cobourg Council decided last week to amend the bylaw until the end of this month, due to unusually severe winter conditions, rather than have decomposing carcasses float into shore in the spring. The naturalist club held the premise that feeding the waterfowl was biologically unsound and couldn’t begin to address the situation farther out on the lake. The feeding also contributed, they said, to a condition in waterfowl known as “angel wing” which research confirms that it does not. The feeding program wasn’t meant to address the entire lake situation; it was meant to help only those close to shore where local residents came daily to enjoy the waterfowl that congregated in the harbour. A connection with wildlife that our
world could use a lot more of these days. One argument was the feeding program was helping an already burgeoning population of invasive mute swans, a species known for its aggressiveness and invasiveness on native waterfowl species and habitat. This column is well aware of the impact from invasive mute swans. However, this is not a winter to be arguing the merits of biological ethics; the issue this winter is about humanitarianism. It’s time to call a truce and lay down our weapons and our outdated beliefs about what constitutes “good and bad species”. After all, didn’t World War 1 see a Christmas cease fire in 1914 when both sides emerged and fraternized? A symbolic moment of peace and humanity amidst one of the most violent events of human history. Too bad, a century later, we haven’t learned anything.

Greater Napanee
Taxes poised go up, council pegs OPP costing Council votes to withhold payment to province BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Greater Napanee is facing a levy increase of nearly $400,000, which town staff said is due to increased policing costs. Fed up with the constantly increasing policing contracts, council voted not pay the $398,401 policing increase until the new policing formula is revealed for 2015.
V i s i t
The increase means $70.44 in higher property taxes for urban residents and $47.48 for rural residents for an average home assessment of $216,000. Mark Day, director of finance for the municipality, said this average is up from $207,000 in 2013. Mayor Gord Schermerhorn said it’s time the town takes a stand to protest rising policing costs. “Napanee should make a statement of some kind that we’re not going to put up with this increase. I realize that we might have to budget for it and have it in the reserves so we don’t have to pay interest. I think we should hold that $398,401 from the province and if the formula comes
out, like they promised that it would, then we would gladly pay it, but they need to bring the new formula out before we do that. (That’s) because policing costs across the province are not fair, we have stated that many times,” said Schermerhorn during a budget meeting on March 4. A new policing formula has been said to be released in 2015 and is believed that it would be fair for all municipalities. “We’ve come to find out that some northern municipalities are hardly paying anything. The new formula is supposed to be fair across the province, for everyone,” said Schermerhorn. All of council stood behind the mayor in this
decision, moving to withhold payment to the province until the 2015 policing formula is released. “I do believe we should budget for it, but it
should be put away and not be taken by the province,” said Schermerhorn. The 2014 capital budget is to be discussed at a budget meeting in April.

Girl, 9, fighting hard against incurable ailments Family planning fundraiser in hopes of obtaining cutting-edge treatments abroad
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
A nine-year-old local girl is grappling with an incurable disease so family and friends are holding a benefit next month to raise funds for her long, hard and costly fight. Gwyneth was born with an incurable autoimmune disease, Inflamed Linear Verrucous Epidermal Nevus. ILVEN is a type of skin overgrowth resulting in wart-like symptoms with discoloured red and
brown skin patches. It is known to be itchy and painful and is always permanent. “Unless you live with a child who has a serious illness, there really is no way to describe what it is like and how it impacts the entire family,” Gwyneth’s mother, Sharon Oliver, wrote in a press release. Sharon said she hopes the fundraiser next month won’t just help support her daughter but also serve as a way to raise awareness about the disease. “I want her story to be
told so that it may help her and others who are going through this,” she wrote. On top of ILVEN, Gwyneth was also diagnosed with Type One Diabetes about a year ago. “Every day of her life, Gwyneth cries, sleeps for only hours at a time, spends huge amounts of time in baths, and uses a tube of cream daily in an attempt to get some relief. Her skin illness covers a quarter of her body and is mostly visibly to everyone,” her mother explained. The disease has caused
her to miss school and be excluded from activities such as using public pools and enjoy outings with her friends and family. It was at Sick Kids Hospital that Gwyneth was told she would spend her life fighting this incurable disease, as well as where she found out much of the dangers she faced living with diabetes, and though she is scared, she has not given up. “Neither illness has a conventional cure, so I have been searching within the holistic and alternative

medical world,” explained Sharon. In doing so, she remortgaged her home in order to take Gwyneth to Iceland to receive balneology, which is a treatment using hot mineral springs. Sharon said this did relieve some of Gwyneth’s symptoms, enough to allow her to sleep for five consecutive hours for the first time in her life, but Sharon is still looking for more permanent relief for Gwyneth. “Gwyneth’s condition is so serious that the springs could not cure her, but helped. I use homeopathic skin cream to give her some relief. This runs in the hundreds of dollars every month, as Gwyneth must use so much. And the costs go on. Each time I pursue an idea, I must pay the practitioners and supplements myself. This is leading into serious debt and I am a single parent,” Sharon explained. Being diagnosed with diabetes on top of ILVEN has created a whole new list of concerns for Gwyneth and Sharon, including controlling her blood sugar and ensuring her kidneys and blood vessels are not affected. Sharon has two goals for next month’s fundraiser. The first is to raise enough funds for Gwyneth to receive treatment in Arizona. The second is to create a charity for children affected by autoimmune disease. Sharon hopes to take Gwyneth to a medical clinic in Arizona to see Dr. Gabriel Cousens.
“He created The Tree of Life centre in order to treat diabetes. He has been successfully treating type two diabetes for some time and has recently started to take type one patients,” explained Sharon. The Tree of Life centre is focuses on treating diabetes naturally. Sharon also thinks it’s important to create a charity, not just to help other children financially but also to provide information to parents and caregivers. Gwyneth needs $25,000 for Dr. Cousen’s treatment plan and is currently fifth on his waiting list. These funds would cover travel and accommodations, consultation, testing, and some treatment. “It is painfully clear to me how much this is needed. There is some funding for the western medical model, but none for holistic treatments. Holistic treatments can make such a difference for the quality of life to individuals suffering from ‘incurables’ and I believe that the future needs to hold a space for an integrative approach to these tough cases,” explained Sharon. “I have been astonished at the level of suffering that we experience as a family with autoimmune illness. Families need to have a support group, and greater accessibility to holistic care.” Sharon would like to raise another $25,000 to start this charity. The fundraiser is taking place at the SPC on April 13.

Strategies to get over the winter blues My conversations with friends, family and clients lately always seem to end with us talking about this never-ending winter. It seems everyone has had enough of this winter, even those who love the season. The first month of the fluffy white stuff was beautiful and exciting and seemed to brighten the dull of late fall. But after a few months, it begins to feel gloomy and with all this cold weather and dull days, it begins to get anyone down. Nature in this season provides us with enough greys, whites and blacks; why not add some
colour in our homes — especially in the late winter, as colour makes us happier. To combat the winter gloom, spruce up your home, give it a brighter feel and more inviting ambiance. Light always warms up any space. It can make your home look so much brighter and give off a more energetic vibe when you simply make sure you have light in plentiful supply. Make sure that windows and glass doors are clear of obstructions. Push curtains and window treatments to the side. Check your light bulbs,

a dull light bulb will only drag down the brightness of a room. Consider changing your bulbs to LED white lights for lower energy consumption but a brighter light. Another way to brighten a room is changing a ceiling fixture for a new updated one. Look for fixtures that take a higher wattage bulb of 60 watts or more. Those with dimming capacities offer options for setting different moods. Nothing says spring like bright colours. Colours, bright and vibrant colours to be specific, have a psychological reaction of creating warmth. These colours, if used cleverly, make a space look warm, cozy and inviting. Look at colours in your living room, bedroom, kitchen or dining room. Add bright and colourful cushions and throws onto otherwise monochrome or neutral coloured sofas. This makes the cushions look a lot more comfy and instantly changes the mood of the place, taking it from dull and regular to bright and happy in just minutes. If you’re up for the task, add a splash of colour to your rooms with paint. Even create one feature wall with a bold colour. Trade drab grey or uninspiring beige for a mossy green, or even a passionate

reddish tone. Painting one wall is a quick, inexpensive and simple way to change your mood. Change your window treatments as years of sunlight shining on your drapes will cause them to fade and become less attractive. Keep the fabric lightweight to allow the natural sunlight to shine through. Consider the colour green. Green is the colour of balance. If you need to beat the winter blues, add green. It can be as simple as adding a bowl of fresh green apples or limes to your countertop, a ceramic vase of fresh flowers or changing your drab dishtowels to a lively green. These are simple and easy
ways to bring life and vibrancy into drab, uninspired rooms. Speaking of green, there is no better way to add some life to the cold dreariness of winter than by adding a plant. Adding life will always breathe happiness into your home. Orchids are such an easy infusion of beauty to any home. With simple care they can last for months, chasing your winter blahs all the way into spring. Other great spring plants include daffodils and tulips. For parents of young children or pet owners, make sure to check that the new plant is not poisonous if chewed. Many house plants are safe to add to your décor. They come in many colours, textures and size varieties and many are low maintenance. Updating your artwork this winter can beat those winter blues. You may wish to switch a piece of art for one that better co-ordinates with your new accent colour or you may wish to change a piece that is not looking as good as it used to. Pictures fade in the light, so over time your art works may change colour and become washed out looking. Experiment with groups of pictures or framed art work. When shopping for works of art, enquire about the store’s
return policies. Many reputable art stores will allow you to take a piece of art home to try it out in your décor. If it doesn’t work, you can return it in exchange for another piece. The easiest way to make you feel better about your home this winter is to de-clutter and deep clean. Removing any clutter will help begin in the process of brightening your home. Clutter blocks the light from coming into your home so the more stuff you clear away, the better. Finally, just rearrange your space. Change is good; move a chair to a different spot or change the placement of lamps or plants. For minimal effort and zero cost, you can easily shift the energy and create a whole new look. With these simple ideas to beat the winter blues, we will be one step closer as spring will soon be here, with bright green grass, vivid crocuses sprouting up and wondrous sunshine.
“We had the unmanned aerial vehicle that went up much earlier in the week to take pictures of the scene from the air, which is a very economical way (to monitor the situation),” said Sgt. Rae. “There was an OPP helicopter in the air (on Saturday morning during the rail blockade).”
Brant, who has served as the spokesperson for the protesters, stated earlier in the week that the actions were designed to prompt the federal government to launch an inquiry into the over 800 missing or murdered First Nation women. Along with his criminal charges Brant will also face
a pair of civil charges after he was formally served with a pair of documents over the weekend from the CN Railway Company. The papers relate to March and May 2011 incidents and state if Brant were arrested on CN property he could face fines near $600,000. No court date has been set as of yet.

ELECTRONIC VOTING?
Open Letter to the Voters of Stone Mills Dear Fellow Voters: I am distressed to learn that Stone Mills Council is hurrying to adopt electronic voting for the 2014 election. Council has moved from supposedly considering alternative voting options to adopting electronic voting without public consultation. Many key issues remain unexplored: Whom do you want counting your votes? Your
community election staff or a corporation, possibly foreign or multi-national?
Did you know that electronic voting will end forever verifiable
witnessed recounts? The C.E.O. of Intelivote stated that there will be no recount! Clearly he believes that computer systems never mess up. your local officials? The 2006 election cost $11,500, the 2010 election (including a ballot question) cost $16,000). The initial budget projection for 2014 electronic election is $29,000. The costs to expand systems and prevent hacking will only increase.
Do you want to pay more for the election of
How will the elderly and those less comfortable with change cope with
both a new Elections At Large Ballot and Electronic Voting? Stone Mills Township’s small size is an advantage in that we can administer our own elections without any history of fraud or lost votes. Council claims convenience will improve voter turnout and allow absentee ratepayers to vote easily. I’ll consider both of these issues below.
Voting (SSEV) of Spain. ISI CEO Dean Smith has stated in an interview with The Coast “we are probably a decent takeover target.” Stone Mills is therefore one takeover away from a foreign multinational conducting our elections. PIN numbers do not get to rural voters? This happened in an Intelivote administered election in B.C. Imagine the phone calls to our clerk asking for PIN numbers especially if Canada Post indicates delivery was complete.
What happens if
Elections
Canada Youth Survey and Chief Electoral Officer Mark Mayland concur that “… the key issue is not convenience. Online voting has been tested in several jurisdictions… 7 provinces and territories ran elections this fall (2011) with a focus on making voting more convenient, yet turnout hit record lows across the country” (Huffington Post – 11/29/2011).
Perhaps
Council should read Elections Canada’s National Youth Survey
Report. If
Council wants to empower absentee voters, then it could simply do an advanced ballot mail-out to tax addresses outside of Stone Mills.
Why do we need electronic voting?
Let me share some background on several of these issues. Intelivote
Systems Inc. (ISI) provided on-line demos to council. ISI entered into a strategic partnership with Elections Systems & Software (ESS) of America and has worked in conjunction with Scytl Secure Electronic
Surely these and other issues deserve to be reviewed, discussed and resolved before Council can make an informed decision. Please support my URGENT CALL FOR AN OPEN FORMAT PUBLIC MEETING. Act quickly as Council may pass this measure at the Council Meeting, Monday March 17th at 630pm. For contact information on Councilors, visit the Stone Mills web-site (www.stonemills.com or 613-378-2475). Yours in Community, ______________________ Wayne Goodyer (Yarker)

Staff Reporter
Don’t tell Wanda Frisken farming is strictly a man’s profession. The Selby native has been bucking that stereotype for over 30 years, playing a huge role in her familyrun Frisklane Holsteins as well as serving as secretary and treasurer for the Lennox and Addington Holstein Club. The community recently recognized her efforts, voting her Farm Woman of the Year in a contest run by the My Broadcasting Corporation and DuPont Pioneer. The contest, which was held late last year, called upon community members to nominate outstanding female farmers with the winner determined by votes. The contest saw submissions come in from all 15 regions in which MyFM houses a radio station. “I thought it was nice for the radio station to incorporate women,” said Frisken. “Normally you think of a farm and it’s always the guys.” She takes pride is setting an example for her fellow female farmers, including her daughter Jennifer

XPERIENCE life on a dairy farm this weekend and spend an afternoon with the cows at Ripplebrook Farm. The Lennox and Addington Milk Producers are hosting a ‘March Break with the Cows’ event at Kevin MacLean’s farm on Saturday afternoon. Lisa Mooney, Lennox and Addington Milk Producers farm consultant, said this is the first event of its kind and is a combination of a number of farming events. “It’s a combination of ‘Christmas with the Cows’ and we used to bus students out from different schools to a program called Dairy Days for Grade 5s to teach them about dairy farming. So what was done is we combined them and made it a fun family event for March Break,” explained Mooney. “This is the first time we’ve done it. Last year we did Christmas with the Cows but just with a lot of stuff going on at Christmas, we decided to do it over March Break as a family event,” she said. The event will be open to people of all ages and is geared to be a fun family weekend activity. It will be

By challenging the conventional thinking and gender stereotypes, she’s made quite the name for herself in the dairy industry. “I was quite honoured (to win the contest) because so many different people said they voted for me,” said Frisken. “You get a little overwhelmed and start to think this is pretty awesome.” For winning the contest
she was awarded with a Tiffany & Co. necklace which she says is just a little too nice to wear while tending the barn. When it comes to her farm work she takes it very seriously. Along with her daughter, her husband Dave and son Chris, they manage more than 100 dairy cows. “It’s nice for us because it’s just all family,” said Frisken. “If we were to go bigger we would have to incorporate

more help. This way we can keep hands on and know what all is going on.” In a time when so many family farms are forced to sell off their land due to rising costs or a lack of interest from the younger generation, Frisken and her family continue to hang on to their passion. Earning community recognition while doing so was just an added bonus. “With us it’s a way of life,” she said of farming. “It’s nice to be appreciated for doing something you do everyday and you enjoy. It is hard. It’s not an 8-4 job or a 9-5 job with holidays, weekends and a March Break.” As if the responsibilities of helping to run a farm wasn’t enough, Frisken also works at the Village Green nursing home as a dietary aid.
hosted at Ripplebrook Farm, at 7836 Hwy 2, from 3-7 p.m. and is free of charge. “Because a lot of people don’t get a chance to see operating dairy farms so there’s going to be a lot of stuff for kids but it’s also going to be very informative to adults, too, who may not have ever seen a cow being milked,” said Mooney. “We are going to have different learning stations in the barn. We’re going to have a station down at the calf barn so kids can see calves get fed and feed the calves with the bottles if they want. We’re also going to have a feeding station in the barn so they can see how the adult cows are fed and we’re going to be talking about different things we feed cows. But the main event is going to be when the cows are actually getting milked in the parlor, so people can actually see the cows getting milked,” said Mooney. If the weather is nice, a bonfire will be held at the farm and dairy products such as cheese, milk, yogurt and hot chocolate will be served. Between 200 and 300 people are expected to participate in the event. For more information, contact Mooney at lisam@agribrands.ca.

Raising The Bar To New Heights
Pirates ground Jets Picton wins three straight to take 3-1 series lead BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
fter holding an early advantage after Game 1 of the Empire B League Junior C finals, the Amherstview Jets are now staring at elimination following three losses in three nights. The Picton Pirates came back with a vengeance and then some, reeling off wins in Games 2,3 and 4. The Jets rode third period goals from Brody Taylor, Cassidy Bruni and Jordan Howe to steal a 3-1 road victory in the series opener on Thursday before the Picton Pirates roared back with a 4-1 victory on Sunday in Amherstview followed by identical 6-3 wins on Monday and Tuesday. Howe gave the Jets a swift 1-0 lead less than two minutes into Tuesday night’s Game 4 in Amherstview. After it was offset by Picton’s Ryan Sizer, Adam Shulist restored the lead for the home team late in the frame. It was all Picton after the first ice flood as Evan Greer, Kenny Murduff and Jack Davison potted three unanswered markers to put the visitors up for good. Zach Masterson did cut the lead to 4-3 but that was as close as they’d get.

Study shows sports tourism a boon for local merchants Combo Tournament rakes in $207,000
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
apanee’s Novice and Peewee Stars weren’t the only local winners of last November's Combo Tournament, held at the Strathcona Paper Centre. According to a report prepared by Greater Napanee Infrastructure Service’s Dave Morgan, local businesses saw an offshoot of $207,000 generated from the weekend tournament. Morgan presented those numbers to council on Tuesday night to give them an idea of what future sport tourism events could mean to the region. “The objective of developing this tool is to create a model that’s easy to access,” Morgan said of tracking the economic impact of the Combo Tournament. “This STEAM (Sport Tourism Economic Assessment Model) meets that criteria because its a
N
web based online economic model. The only information needed is a basic knowledge of the participants and the spectator demographic.” With that information in hand and using the software developed by groups such as Sports Canada, Morgan was able to arrive at the estimated $207,000 that were spent in the community that weekend from parents, coaches and fans of the visiting teams. The annual tournament saw 90 games played in the region over three days, featuring teams from across Eastern Ontario. This was the first effort the town has made to put a tangible dollar sign on the money its generated. “It could be spent at a gas station, a restaurant, a hotel, motel,” Morgan said of the money spent in the community that weekend. “It could be just general shopping within the community. Those are all meas-
urements that are incorporated into the assessment model.” The findings could help council decide if they’d like to further explore the sports tourism route in the future. They’ve dabbled with it in the past, hosting marque events such at the 2010 Tankard, 2011 Canadian Men’s Fast Pitch Championship and 2012 M&M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors, among others. In 2015 they will play host to the U21 Men's Canadian Fast Pitch Championship. While the larger ones have proven successful, hosting medium to smaller tournaments on a more regular basis could be just as beneficial. According to Morgan’s report, if the town were to hold five tournaments comparable to the Stars Combo every year, they could generate as much as half a million dollars in direct and indirect benefit to local businesses.

Amherstview’s Ryan Bernard (left) is chased by Picton’s Nolan Van Vlack during Game 1 of the Empire B League finals, held last Thursday in Picton. Greer stole the show in Game 3 on Monday night, scoring half his team’s goals in the 6-3 victory. Bruni, Andrew Fullarton and Matt Horton scored for the Jets who never lead. In Game 2 the two teams were tied 1-1 after the opening 20 minutes before Picton slowly pulled away and held on for the 41 win to even the series. Howe had Amherstview’s lone tally while Murduff, Greer, Nolan Van Vlack and Davison replied for Picton. The Pirates can now clinch their fourth franchise league title, and second in a row, with a victory in tonight’s game which
gets underway at 7:30 p.m. at the Prince Edward Community Arena. The Jets will hope to prolong the series to Game 6 and 7, which would take place Saturday at the W.J. Henderson Arena at 7:30 p.m. and Monday in Picton at 7:30 p.m. Amherstview already has quite a bit of experience in must-win games, needing to win their final two regular season games just to clinch a playoff spot. They entered the playoffs on a tear, sweeping Port Hope in four games. They’ll need to tap into that magic again if they hope to keep their chances alive.

Napanee Minor Hockey Report
Novice A Stars grab early lead in OMHA East Finals Beaver Sports
apanee Country Traditions Novice A Stars took Game 1 over Uxbridge Stars, 5-1 in the OMHA Novice A East Finals last weekend. Napanee opened the game with a quick goal by Carter McKee 1:06 into the first, assisted by Ethan Sutcliffe and Cal Uens. Napanee finished off the first period with a goal by Uens assisted by Sutcliffe and Will Myers. Napanee increased their lead two minutes into the second period on a goal by Spencer Cranley assisted by Sutcliffe and Jack Madden. Halfway through the third period Uens scored the fourth goal for Napanee and his second of the game assisted by Ty Kemp and McKee. Three minutes later with five minutes left in the game Cranley scored Napanee’s fifth and final goal and his second of the game. Assists went to Gavin Brooks and Sutcliffe. Goaltender Jacob Brown once again stood tall between the pipes allowing only one lone goal by Uxbridge late in the third resulting in Napanee's 5-1 victory. Napanee played a very controlled and tight checking game making it difficult for Uxbridge to effectively
N
move the puck. Prior to the game, Napanee honoured long time player, coach, manager and sports entrepreneur Andy McGarvey for his many years of involvement and dedication to sports in Napanee. Napanee mayor Gord Schermerhorn performed the ceremonial puck drop and local singer, Andrew Martin, sang the national anthem. Napanee will travel to Uxbridge for Game 2 on Saturday. They will return to Napanee for a 1 p.m. home game on Sunday. They’ll be counting on plenty of home town fan support as they continue their quest for the OMHA title. n The Exit Realty Minor Bantam Stars advanced to the semifinals of the Lakeshore playoffs with a 2-1 win in a winner-takeall game in Clarington. After the round robin, Clarington and Napanee were tied with 10 points each forcing one more playoff game. Kiel Benton scored on a shot that just crossed the line, with an assist going to Ethan Winter. Steven Shea got the winner in yet another defensive battle, in which the crew only allowed one goal all night. On Friday in Whitby, they opened a best-of-five series with Whitby Blue, a team that had been a challenge all year. Napanee proved they belonged in the semi-finals when they out-pointed the Wildcats to win a nail-biter 4-3.

Napanee’s John Hears (left) skates into Uxbridge territory during Sunday’s OMHA Novice A East Finals. Hearns and the Stars cruised to a 5-1 victory over their visitors, securing an important victory in the playoff series. At the SPC on Saturday the boys were fired up right from the puck drop to take a 3-0 lead in the first. They poured it on with leads of 6-3 after two, and a 7-4 final result to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the series. Scoring for the locals were Brendan Hagerman with a hat trick, Michael Lloyd with a pair, and singles to Alex Brady, and an empty net goal by Seth Foster. Assists were registered by Eli Brown (three), Ryan McLay (two), Hagerman (two), Lloyd, Foster, Cal Doyle, Shea,
Benton, and Kyle Weese. Game 3 of the best-offive semifinal was scheduled in Whitby Wednesday night, with a fourth game set for Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the SPC if necessary. n The Spuds Atom A Stars had a strong finish in their round robin series, with a home-and-home with Uxbridge on the weekend. On the road, the Napanee Stars shut out their hosts 3-0. They also dominated the home game on Sunday with a 4-0 thumping of the Uxbridge Stars. The two

wins, however, were not enough for the Stars to advance, so Whitby Blue will move on to the Lakeshore Finals. The Napanee Stars got contributions from all players in their final game of the playoffs with goals from Dylan Bailey, Josh Reid, and Blake Maracle (two). Assists went to Maracle, Reid, Jacob Boutilier, Greg Mills, and Ben White. n The Boyd Electric Peewee squad played game three in a do-or-die situation in Ajax on Friday night, down 2-0 in games.

Although the boys worked hard all game, they were unable to create any offense, and were shut out 2-0 to end their season. The game and the series featured speed and excitement throughout, with every game a close scoring affair before Ajax was able to put it away. n The season ended last Thursday in Peterborough for the Napanee Bantam AE squad as they faced the Petes on the road. Another scoreless night for the boys in the Liftlock city spelled the end of their season.

God saw he was getting tired And a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around him And whispered “Come with me�, With tear filled eyes, we watched him Suffer and fade away, Although we loved him deeply, We could not make him stay, A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands put to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Always loved and remembered by wife Barbara (Linda), children Kelly, Robert, Brian and Monique, grandsons, Morgan, Ryan and Alex.

Sadly missed and forever loved by your sons and daughters, Eddie, Darlene, Liz, Scott, grandson Gregory, Gordon and brother Don

Hastings County gets good feedback from social housing residents BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Hastings County Social Services board reports that it received positive feedback regarding the three housing units in Deseronto and is working to improve the facilities and programming in the future. Steve Gatward, director of Hastings County Social Services,
spoke to Deseronto council last week regarding social housing and seniors units in Deseronto. One of the three units is for seniors. Representatives went door-todoor in Deseronto on Oct. 9, 2013, asking residents neighbouring the units how the buildings affected the town. In total, 22 homes were visited and 10 were home to comment.
“The responses from the residents were positive,” said Gatward to council this week. Some of the concerns brought up were the condition of the buildings and parking concerns, which Gatward said the board is looking into. New staff has been hired to ensure social services, housing and programming continue to succeed. “In the future, we want to
work toward bringing the services to the people so they don’t have to go looking for them,” said Gatward. Councillor Edgar Tumak asked Gatward if landscaping would be considered for the units in the near future but Gatward said the board has other priorities. Roof replacement and building maintenance are at the top of

Last September, Tumak and Gatward toured the buildings and said all of them, though aged, are in good condition.

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) This week you need to be the follower instead of the leader, Aries. It may be difficult to go against your normal grain, but it is for the best. Keep an open mind. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Your confidence may wane sometime this week, Taurus, but some friends will boost your morale to help you get back on your feet. Saturday will be a big day. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Gemini, certain things that have to get done this week are out of your realm of expertise. Do your best to tackle these projects but have a helper on hand just in case. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, you have a lot on your plate, but you don't know where to start. Make a list of your tasks, and it will help you better tackle one thing at a time until you are all done. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, learn to laugh at yourself as a means to relieving stress. Things can't always be serious, so lighten up and take some time to relax. Work with Virgo this week. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Give yourself a much-deserved break, Virgo. You've been working nonstop for the last several months, and now is a great time to take a vacation or enjoy a weekend getaway.
LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) You don't have all of the answers, Libra, so don't even think about saying you do. Relationship concerns are at the forefront of your mind lately. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Scorpio, it might be hard to bite your tongue, but that's just what you have to do this week. Wait until you are called on for help before you get involved. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Take a few days to get all of your affairs in order, Sagittarius. Use this time to adjust to some changes that have happened over the last several weeks. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Burning the candle at both ends again, Capricorn? This is not the best way to get things done. Take a more steady approach, and give yourself time to recover. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, you can't put your finger on it, but something positive seems to be on the horizon. The truth will reveal itself in the next few days. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Pisces, fight against the current for something you truly believe in. Unexpected events arise on Thursday.

THE BENEFITS OF FINANCIAL PLANNING F inancial planning is often mistakenly assumed to be a concern for the wealthy. That assumption essentially promotes the idea that people without much money need not worry about what to do with their finances. However, financial planning can benefit people at all income levels, even helping those at lower income levels move into higher brackets if they plan successfully. Though having an idea of how to spend and grow your money is an idea many people would likely embrace, a significantly large number of people do not have a financial plan. In its 2012 Household Financial Planning Survey, the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards found that just 31 percent of financial decision makers in families had created a financial plan. Some survey respondents did so on their own, while others used the services of a financial planner. Though some might be intimidated or even scared to institute their own financial plans, it can be done. For those who are especially hesitant to develop their own financial plans, financial planners can help you define your goals and make those goals a reality. The benefits of financial planning are numerous, helping men and women build better financial futures. • A financial plan forces you to define your goals. One of
financial goals. An effective financial plan should consider both short- and long-term goals. If you hope to one day own a home, a financial plan can help you figure out how quickly you will own that home. A good financial plan also can help you map out a course for retirement. Ambiguity with respect to your finances is potentially dangerous. Saying you want to retire at 60 and developing a plan to make that happen are two very different things, but the latter can make it happen while the former won't get you anywhere unless you take action. Be as specific as possible when defining your goals, and recognize that, depending on when you are making your financial plan, you might need to reassess those goals if they are not realistic. • A financial plan can help you curtail your spending. With a financial plan in place, you're less likely to waste your money on frivolous things. Without a plan, you're more likely to treat money as disposable, putting your financial future in jeopardy as a result. A careful examination of your financial situation can shed light on areas where your spending is excessive. A negative cash flow, which occurs when there is more money going out than coming in, has never been a part of a successful financial plan. Correcting such a situation, which is often accomplished when people establish a financial plan that

• A financial plan can be motivational. Another significant and often overlooked benefit to financial planning is how such planning can act as a motivator. A good financial plan will include certain measuring sticks, such as having debt paid off by a particular date or a certain day by which you hope to deposit a certain amount of money into your savings. These measuring sticks often motivate men and women to be more responsible with their money, and many people find living up to short-term financial goals to be very rewarding. • A financial plan makes better use of your money. Even if you don't have any negative spending habits, a financial plan can help you make better use of the money you do have. A closer examination of your finances can often yield a host of ways to grow your money or save it. For example, you might have multiple insurance policies, some of which offer duplicate coverage. Examining each policy and removing duplicate coverage can save you money
and help you spend that money in better ways. You wouldn't pay for the same slice of pizza twice, so why pay for the same coverage twice? But unless you make a financial plan, you are unlikely to find those areas where you're wasting money or discover the numerous ways in which your money can be better spent. • A financial plan helps you grow your money. Even if you
are worried about investing or especially skittish when it comes to risk, you will need to find ways to grow your money, and a financial plan can help you do just that. The concept of inflation dictates that the dollar you have today won't be worth as much next year, meaning you will need to take steps to grow your money if you hope to have enough to get by in retirement. A financial
plan can help everyone, whether they're risk-averse or not, grow their money. Something as simple as opening an interest-bearing account will grow your money more than if you were to put that money under the mattress. Without a financial plan that includes ways to grow your money, the money you have will only lessen in value as time goes on.

THOMAS BARCIER: I bought my first book on real estate investing when I was a teenager. It's something that I have always wanted to do. I have been involved in real estate for some time now as an investor. It is a huge part of my life that I am very passionate about. After my closest friends came to me for advice on how to get started, I enjoyed helping them so much I decided to turn it into a career and help others do the same. Needless to say, I am really excited to begin this new venture. I have 20 years of client service experience, have honed my negotiation skills from previous positions and multiple personal real estate transactions, and have a keen sense of the market through years of personal research. I have developed the necessary tools to provide exceptional service and treat every transaction as if it were my own. I am proud to say that I've joined my friends at Exit Realty Acceleration. They helped me with my very first purchase and every one since. I am really looking forward to sharing my knowledge of the Kingston and area market as well as my experience as an investor. I am eager to begin helping others with buying, selling and, of course, investing in real estate.

Eight Mortgage Down Payment Ideas
Ralph McKenny
Mortgage Agent Martel Mortgages FSCO #11963 (W) 1-855-320-2464 Ext #112 (C) 613-449-0680 www.martelmortgages.ca/ralphmckenny
You can obtain a mortgage with a 5% down payment. On a $200,000 home that means you could be out shopping for a preapproved mortgage and your first home when you save $10,000. At first that may seem like a steep hill to climb, but it may not be. Think of it more like a gradual and steady incline with your new house at the end of the road. If you were to “Google” ideas for saving money you will find list after list. “Top 50”. “Top 100”. I’m just going to give you eight that I know will make a difference and hopefully won’t have to turn your life upside down. If you started today with little or no savings and a bit of discipline and motivation, individuals could reach this goal inside of a year. Obviously every situation is different and you’ll reach your goal in your own time. For the most part, I’m assuming “individuals”. If it is a couple saving together then you can double my estimates. I can help you put a plan together and here are some practical ideas for saving for your down payment. 1 Begin by setting up a sav-
ings account and if your bank allows it, call it your “Mortgage Savings Account” or some identifier that separates it from other accounts. Do not link it to your bank card because it could become too easy to withdraw from. Use this account to deposit money from the many sources you could use to reach your down payment goal. 2 Payroll deduction. If an individual has weekly take-home pay of $400 and saves 10% of that or $40, that will accumulate to $2080 after 52 weeks. Many employers allow payroll deduction for RRSP's. There are a few advantages to doing this. Any amount you contribute to an RRSP is a tax deduction so could potentially increase the amount of money you get back at tax time. Another advantage is the government allowing First Time Homebuyers to withdraw RRSP’s to put towards the purchase of a new home; without penalty and you have 15 years to put that money back into your RRSP. Whether you do automatic deductions for RRSP’s or simply into savings, it’s a good habit to get into and you’ll enjoy watching your savings grow over time. 3 Keep your 5’s. This may seem like a silly or strange suggestion but have you ever noticed how many 5 dollar bills that you get in a week? Try not spending them. Collect them put them in a jar or somewhere safe and every few weeks deposit them into your mortgage savings account. Two people each saving at least two 5’s a week will have saved $1040 at year end. That’s 10% of your required down payment. Try doing the same with your loonies and toonies. 4 De-clutter. If you have “stuff” in the basement, bottom of closet, taking up space in the
JOHN CURRAN Sales Representative
Cell 613-328-1767
garage why not use sites like EBay or Kijiji to sell it off and make some room. Put the proceeds into your mortgage savings account. The other benefit of ridding yourself of the “stuff” is less “stuff” to ask your friends and family to help you move. They’ll love you for it. 5 Gifts. Maybe your friends and family will love you so much for having less to move, they’ll give you the gift of money. Or consider putting money gifts from Birthdays, Christmas and other holidays or celebrations straight into the Mortgage account. 6 Income Tax Return. Deposit your income tax return into your mortgage savings account. 7 For the smokers. No lecture just wondering if you knew that the average smoker spends approximately $3000/year on cigarettes which could be around $150,000 or so in a lifetime. If someone was inclined to quit they may want to consider still putting the same amount of money aside each day or week and at the end of the year they will have accumulated one third of their required down payment. Enough said. 8 Talk to family and friends. It may help you to help them understand you are trying to save for a house and may not be able to splurge the way you used to. Ask them for ideas on how to save. If they have a home, how did they do it? Please feel free to contact me to discuss further. I would be pleased to assist with your plan or answer any questions.

How to determine what your home is worth Homeowners are always curious about the market value of their home, especially those who are seriously thinking about selling their home. “Real estate is hyper local – prices can vary hugely between neighbourhoods, and even between blocks in the same neighbourhood,” says Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “Speak to a real estate professional who works in your community to get an accurate idea of what your local market is doing. A Realtor can perform a comparative market analysis to determine what your home is currently worth.”
Dorner offers some broad guidelines to homeowners to begin their assessment: Location: Location remains the single largest variable in real estate. How close is your home to transit, schools? What about amenities like recreational facilities and shopping centres? Homes close to transit and amenities tend to have higher values than those that are less conveniently located. Space: What is the square footage of your home? How

many bedrooms and bathrooms does it have? The size of your home is another major factor in assessing its value. Type: What kind of home do you own? Is it a detached home, condominium, townhouse or semi-detached? As a rule, single family detached homes are (generally) the most valuable, followed by semis, townhouses and condominiums. Condition: Has your home been updated? Have you
done any major renovations? Does your home have a modern kitchen or bathroom(s)? Homes that have been updated, and that are well-maintained, tend to command top dollar. Your Realtor will be able to provide a detailed breakdown of the value of your home based on these variables and many more. For more information, visit www.wedothehomework.ca
