Native blockade again stalls rail traffic BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

A First Nations blockade at Wyman Road, east of Shannonville, resulted in Via Rail passengers being bused between Toronto and Ottawa on Wednesday. Demonstrators were on the CN rail tracks to raise awareness about murdered and missing indigenous women. Two Mohawk women acted as spokeswomen for the demonstration on Wednesday morning and said they are in no way affiliated with well-known activist Shawn Brant. “We know him but we’re not affiliated,” said one of the spokeswomen, who went by her Mohawk name, Karahkwinetha. “We came out for the same goal but a different reason today. We’re not affiliated with anyone, we’re not here under anyone; we all came out because we feel passionately about this so we decided to do what we’re doing today.” “We’re taking different approaches and we’re doing things a little bit differently than what is normally done,” added the other spokeswoman, who went by her Mohawk name, Tewahkaroyaks.

Stone Mills Township

Council poised to switch to electronic voting BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

Stone Mills Township apparently isn’t done tinkering with the way it runs its elections. A few months after dismantling the ward-based voting system in favour of at-large elections, council voted to begin making the

transition away from paper ballots towards telephone and electronic voting at its regular meeting on Monday night. In a 5-1 recorded vote, council gave final reading to a bylaw that authorizes the use alternative voting methods in the next municipal election. The bylaw also explicitly allows for paper ballots to be used for those electors who aren’t ready

to make the transition to paperless voting. Although the decision paves the way for electronic voting, council has not yet finalized any details regarding how such an election would take place — including what third party would assist in making electronic voting possible, or about how much such a service would cost.

Council’s decision came following a special meeting earlier that day featuring a presentation by Intelivote, a Nova Scotia-based company that specializes in providing support for electronic voting. The decision also came after council heard from a group of citizens who were concerned that the transition to electronic voting would compromise security and

Buttering Up

‘Microsoft’ phone scam making rounds BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

When Doug Lomas received a random call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft tech support last Friday, he was suspicious. The Napanee resident was wise to be skeptical as he was able to avoid falling for the latest credit card scam. Others haven’t been so lucky. “They said they were from Microsoft and somebody was trying to hack my computer,” Lomas said of the call. “The woman talked with a very heavy Spanish accent. I had a hard time really understanding her so I kept asking her to repeat things and I could tell she was getting exasperated. I became suspicious.” The caller’s poor communication skills and lack of customer service sent up red flags for Lomas. As it turns out he’s not the only one in town to receive such a call. It’s in fact a common scam

meant to prey on those who aren’t computer savvy. The callers will typically claim that their software has noticed someone from Nigeria is attempting to hack their computer. Under the guise of offering to help, the caller posing as a Microsoft or sometimes Windows tech support worker will ask for credit card information which they’ll later use to commit fraud. They’re playing off the fears from another well-known scam in which people claiming to be from Nigeria send e-mails requesting money with the promise of a huge return if they help them out. The callers will do everything they can to convince their victims of their authenticity, even having a partner nearby to act as a ‘supervisor’. When Lomas asked to speak to someone else he was patched through to another person with a less noticeable accent. As Lomas became more skeptical he began asking more questions to the caller. When asked where they were call-

ing from, they responded Texas. “When I said what’s your telephone number, they hung up on me,” said Lomas, which confirmed to him it was indeed a scam. “They knew then the jig was up.” Though they never technically asked him for his credit card information, Lomas says it was likely coming until he began to question them. Chances are anyone trying to pull a scam will quickly move on when their intended target starts to turn the tables and ask them questions. They’re looking to catch people off guard and get as much information from them as possible before they can realize it’s not a legitimate call. Lomas is hoping to spread the word about the scam to friends and neighbours so they won’t become victims. In talking to friends and family he’s learned of several other Napanee residents who have been targeted. OPP warn not to give out personal information over the phone to anyone who calls out of the blue claiming to be from a legitimate company. If a caller starts asks for credit card information, hang up. Microsoft has stated on their website that they don’t charge their customers to fix their accounts over the phone. Anyone who receives a suspicious call is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers with any information at 1-800-222-8477.

Smart Social Media

Downtown BIA board sees Cyber safety focus changing of the guard of school presentation BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

NDSS students and their parents received a crash course in the pros and cons of social media on Tuesday. Speaking to junior and senior students during the school day and parents in the evening, keynote speaker Jesse Miller highlighted some of the challenges facing today’s youth. Though Miller has spoken to Limestone District students on several occasions in the past, his most recent talk was timely. It came just weeks after 15 NDSS students were suspended for allegedly sharing inappropriate images of classmates to their peers. “Our kids are swimming in a pool where their parents are afraid to get in the water,” said Miller. As part of his presentation Miller spoke of some of the ways young adults have abused social media sites such as Instagram, Twitter or Snap Chat by posting pictures of themselves breaking the law or posting offensive remarks. “Our kids will make decisions online you won’t agree with,” said Miller. “There will always be another app, we can’t keep them safe… I encourage you kids to talk about online use.” In what he describes as “a culture of documenting”, Miller warns students that photos they post today could come back to haunt them years from now as they apply for post-secondary schools or jobs.

Social media misuse continues to be a hot topic in the region following February’s incident at NDSS, which made headlines across Canada for all the wrong reasons. “It’s situations like that that speak to the need for us to focus our attention as a community, school and parents, on this particular issue to make sure our youth are making wise decisions in their internet usage,” said Krishna Burra, supervising principal of safe and caring schools and assistant to the director of education. Burra says parents are always welcome to speak with their school or visit their Limestone.on.ca website to stay in touch with the latest social media awareness tools. “There’s a generational gap between young people and the adults,” said Burra. “The other reality is the way some students use social media is very different than most adults. By bringing people like Jesse and then on April 10 we have Carol Todd coming to speak about her story with her daughter, it increases the community’s awareness about these type of issues.” Todd’s daughter Amanda became the face of online bullying after she committed suicide in her British Columbia home on Oct. 10, 2012. That followed months of ridicule from her peers after a photo of her was posted online. Her mother will visit Kingston’s Bayridge Secondary School as part of her ongoing quest to encourage parents to educate their children about the importance of internet safety.

Four new members on association’s executive BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Napanee Business Improvement Area board has undergone a number of changes over the past few months. Most recently, longtime member and treasurer Peter Veltheer resigned and four new members have been appointed to the board. Council approved the appointment of Garth Yach this month but in total four new directors have joined the BIA in the last few months. Julia Dicks, Krysta-Lee Woodcock and Rob Hendrick also joined the board recently. “It is very encouraging to see new business owners in the downtown wanting to get involved and to make a difference in the community of Downtown Napanee,” said Tom Coke, BIA manager. Woodcock runs Napanee Design Studio downtown, Hendrick co-owns Touch of Class and Yach co-owns Wendalyn’s Fashions with his wife. Dicks works at Sun Life Financial. Veltheer was a member of the BIA for years as well as held the role of treasurer.

Coke said a new treasurer has not yet been appointed. “At the next BIA board meeting, the board will discuss filling the treasurer’s role, which is what Peter (Veltheer) did for the BIA,” said Coke. “I continuously promote and support our great community and all of our merchants,” Yach wrote in a letter presented to Greater Napanee council. On top of co-owning Wendalyn’s, Yach is also full-time project manager for BridgeCast Inc. in Kingston and was the branch manager for Com-Net Inc. for six years prior. “I have a great understanding and value the importance of small business in our community today and feel I would be a great asset to the BIA as a director,” he continued. Now, the board consists of: Brad Way, Ashley Arnold, Michelle Edgar, Bill Pierson, Shaune Lucas, Doris Lucas, Woodcock, Dicks, Hendrick, and the newest member, Yach.

Town eyes conversion of rails to trails BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

NUSED train tracks in Napanee may be converted into a recreational trail. Greater Napanee council has directed staff to look into costs and other details

and report back to council. David Morgan, general manager of infrastructure services for Greater Napanee, said it’s still early too early to say whether a trail is a viable project. “(I’ve been given) the directive from municipal council to investigate the abandoned rail line and

the municipal ownership and how that rail line can be developed. It’s going to take some time to gather all the information and do surveys to get a better understanding of what we’re dealing with,” he said.

EDITORIAL

Finance minister bows out In the unforgiving world of politics, any minister who can hold onto his or her job for eight years must be doing something right. That’s exactly what now former federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty can say after bidding adieu to politics in an announcement on Tuesday. To many, the news of his resignation and retirement from politics came as a shock. However, the real marvel is the fact that he stayed on the job so long. That’s not to say he was doing a bad job. However, it’s no secret that Flaherty has been battling a painful skin condition that undoubtedly made the daily grind of his chosen profession all the more trying. Medical condition or no, the finance portfolio is the most challenging position in any government’s cabinet. Nevertheless, Flaherty remained in that post from the day Stephen Harper and the Conservatives took power until now — and, over those eight years, there was never much if any serious speculation about Flaherty being shuffled out of the portfolio. You can’t blame Harper for wanting the guy to stick around. Whether or not you agree with the direction adopted by Flaherty and the Harper government, you can’t suggest that Flaherty was bad at his job. He effectively implemented the economic policies of his party. Further, he was the finance minister when the global economy (and with it the Canadian economy) went into the tank. And while Canada had its economic difficulties, other developed countries were taking a long hard look at how Flaherty approached the problems, since Canada performed comparatively better than the rest of the G8 in the depths of the recession. That’s probably the accomplishment for which Flaherty will be best remembered now that he’s moved on. There were missteps along the way. If he had it all to do over again, we wouldn’t be surprised if Flaherty might have taken a pass on the two-per-cent GST cut. While that move made a great political splash, we’d argue that it wasn’t sound economic policy. Flaherty could have cut corporate and income taxes, moves that would have been better for the economy than a GST cut, and that wouldn’t have had such a dramatic impact on government revenues. As many economists have said, the GST cut was great politics, but horrible policy (and made Flaherty’s job of returning the government to a surplus position very much more difficult). We’d also argue that Flaherty’s economic update in the fall of 2008 wasn’t his finest moment. Remember, at that time Canada and the rest of the world was just starting to grapple with the economic downturn. However, even though it was apparent to all that the government was already in a deficit position, Flaherty predicted a small surplus. A matter of a few months later, the government was running record deficits — and, dealing with a constitutional crisis that was sparked by the contents of that same economic update. However, fast forward to the day of his departure — the economy has rebounded, and the deficit is all but eliminated. For any finance minister, these are key goals. Flaherty can bow out knowing that he’s played his part well.

Staff picks: Whistling Past the Graveyard Amy Kay, Supervisor of the Amherstview Branch of the Library, recently read Whistling Past the Graveyard by Susan Crandall. “I love reading fiction for Coles’ being able to travel without leaving home so I tend to choose books based on setting,” says Amy of the novel’s evocative 1960s southern USA setting. “This story is set in Mississippi in the summer of 1964. In the eyes of the nine-year-old narrator it is the hottest summer ever.

Starla Claudelle is being raised by her strict southern Grandmother, who grounds her on the Fourth of July. She is a rebellious, redheaded girl who sneaks Notes out to enjoy the parade, gets caught, is grounded again and thinks the only way to avoid being sent to reform school is to run away to reunite with her mother in Nashville. As if running away wasn’t bad enough, it gets worse when she is picked up by a black woman who is driv-

ing around with a white baby on the floor of her truck.” “This book will transport you to the south of the ‘60s and you may even find yourself speaking with a southern drawl after putting the book down,” Amy concludes. “I would suggest this book to people who have enjoyed The Secret Life of Bees, Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, and The Kitchen House.” Whistling Past The Graveyard, as well as all of the other novels mentioned here, are available to reserve from your

Children and adults flirt with danger Ever hear of the Darwin Awards? The Darwin Award is a fictional award which is given out to people who commit acts of utter stupidity that often involve their own injury or even death. The name is derived from Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution (survival of the fittest), since the winners of the Darwin award aren’t expected to survive long enough or remain capable of propagating their own hereditary stupidity. By insuring that their irresponsible genes to not spread, they ultimately help humanity and thus receive an award. Obviously, it’s a tongue-incheek honour, and for those who follow the new nominees every year, designed to invoke humour. However, while those in a photo I received last week by e-mail certainly are worthy of at least a nomination, there was nothing humorous about the danger to themselves, or to the children they had with them. The photo showed at least three adults on a buildup of ice along the shore of Lake Ontario. With them, about seven young kids in total. One photo showed a narrow ice bridge which arched

from one ice hump to another similar in size. Below, was open water churning with floating pancake ice. Although not depicted in the photograph, one small child had attempted to cross over the bridge, but thought better of it and retreated. What was really disturbing, were the adults standing beside the kids, totally oblivious to the danger around them, only a few metres from the open water. One photo in particular showed a very small child standing in a sink hole beside a noticeable fissure. Although hard to tell, it appeared this activity was occurring some distance from shore, over deep water. The photo was taken at Presqu’ile Provincial Park, but it could be a lakeshore anywhere as this irresponsible behaviour occurs all too frequently. About 20 years ago, I used to travel the school circuit in Prince Edward County, and sometimes beyond, every year at this time with a program called Spring Water Awareness, produced by the conservation authority when it operated out of the Picton office. A few of the components of the presentation were thin ice,

Terry Sprague

Outdoor Rambles fast flowing water, flooded fields and slippery banks. When I took over the program, I revamped the entire presentation, and included an important element for the Quinte area — shoreline ice. The idea came after hearing about a group of friends that winter who were wandering about along the Lake Ontario shoreline in Prince Edward County. They were drawn to the spectacular ice formations, some of them several metres high. One either broke through, or lost his balance, and slipped into the icy water below,

far beyond the reach of any of his friends. He succumbed to the frigid temperature within scant minutes before help could arrive. I have since heard or read about two other incidents, one of them involving a small child. As the story goes, a man was walking along the shores of a lake when several boys ran to him shouting that their friend was in trouble and needed help. The man followed the boys and saw that the children had been playing along the shore and had climbed the ice mounds. He climbed to the top and saw a young boy had slipped off. The water was only up to his waist, but because the wave action had washed out the underside of the ice build-up, there was no way the boy could climb out. The man lay on the ice and reached out to the child. The boy tried to reach too but was already feeling the effects of hypothermia and soon he slipped away under the water. The man knew he could not get the boy without going into the water himself, but going in the water meant death for two. There was no way for the boy to get out. Yet another victim.

The point I am trying to make is that this ice, no matter how thick it appears to be — and at Presqu’ile it was reported to be several metres in thickness — is never uniform, and the ice itself is not solid. It is a buildup of icy spume, snow, and frazil ice that forms a crusty, and sometimes porous structure, made unsafe due to the constant wave action underneath. Several metres thick in one spot and barely a crust over the frigid water elsewhere. These formations and ice volcanoes are spectacular this winter, but avoid the temptation to take your family out there for a closer look. Park employees warn against climbing the formations and ice volcanoes as the sometimes fragile formations can, and often do, collapse. It’s not a question if another death will occur; it’s a question of when. For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 613 476 5072.

Legal eagle Wilkison left positive impact as county judge A C K

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago March 18, 1964 n A Belleville man was killed when he fell off the Napanee CNR bridge. Jan Ten Kate, 43, was working on the bridge when he fell 50 feet to his death. He was part of a repair crew that was putting in new railway ties on the bridge that spans the Napanee River, Dundas Street and Camden Road. It was not immediately clear what caused Ten Kate to fall; however, the incident was under investigation by both the police and by CNR officials. n The L&A court house was the scene of the capital murder trial of Charles Morton Loyst, 51. Loyst had been arrested and charged in connection with the death of Hugh James McMahon, 64, a Kaladar district woodcutter. McMahon was killed in his two-bedroom tarpaper frame shack near Kaladar in which he lived with his wife, Anna Elizabeth McMahon. Police found the murder weapon about a mile-and-a-half north of the scene.

35 Years Ago March 21, 1979 n A Deseronto man, 18, was facing a series of charges after leading Deseronto and Tyendinaga police officers on a chase. The man was spotted by a Deseronto police constable and the Tyendinaga Mohawk police chief driving a half-ton pickup truck that had been reported stolen. The police officers gave chase through Deseronto, along Dundas Street west and then north on Highway 49. During the chase, several vehicle were forced off the road. The cruiser and the stolen vehicle also collided several times. The driver of the stolen truck eventually lost control of the vehicle near Marysville. n Lennox and Addington County council passed its budget, which for 1979 would top more than $5 million. About $1.3 million of that amount would come from municipal sources; provincial grants would account for about $3.7 million in funding. Of each dollar levied by the county in 1979, about 45 per cent would be spent on transportation and road maintenance; about 39 per cent would be spent on family and social services. About 4.5 per cent would be spent on recreation and culture.

Special to the Beaver Editor’s Note: This is the third of an ongoing series provided by L&A County to mark the municipality’s 150th anniversary. This article focusses on William Henry Wilkison, crown attorney and later judge for L&A. On April 17, 1903, flags on the Lennox and Addington County court house, post office and Napanee town hall flew at half staff following the sudden death of Judge William Henry Wilkison. William Henry Wilkison was the son of William Wilkison of Kingston, formerly Belfast, Ireland. Born in Kingston in 1836, he was educated at the old Grammar School. In 1861, he was called to the bar. He established his practice in Napanee the same year. In 1863, John Beverly Jones, a young law clerk, arrived from Brockville to work with Wilkison. Beverly Jones was a cousin of Reverend J.J. Bogert, rector at St. Mary Magdalene’s, Napanee. It was likely through his support that Beverly Jones obtained his first professional post with Wilkison. Wilkison was also an active member of St. Mary Magdalene’s, then located on the Camden Road near the railway tracks. The church’s graveyard remains. Wilkison paid Beverly Jones a monthly salary of $20. During the year Jones spent in Napanee, he kept a small diary noting his daily activities, witnessing mortgages, deeds, setting up accounts, arranging leases and drawing claims. His evenings were often spent at the office, reading Smith’s Mercantile Law or Williams’ Real Property. Other times, however, were spent more leisurely, playing games of cricket, trotting a bay horse, swimming at Hooper’s wharf, eating oysters with Mr. Esson at the Yates Hotel, along with frequent walks and outings. “Chamberlain and I walked to the other side of the river and I saw the water falling over the dam, was very pretty,” he penned April 19. Beverly Jones was left in charge of the office when Wilkison was in Kingston attending county court or meeting with Richard J. Cartwright, a Kingston developer and founding director of the Commercial Bank of Canada. Cartwright sometimes took the train to Napanee and met with Wilkison at the office to talk over their business affairs. The acquisition, renting, and mortgaging of land in the Kingston and Napanee

Judge William Henry Wilkinson was appointed to be judge for Lennox and Addington by Sir John A. Macdonald in 1869. areas was Cartwright’s main occupation outside of his political career. 1863 was an exciting time to be in Napanee. Debate over the selection of a county town had been ongoing for some time. Napanee, Tamworth, Newburgh and Bath all vied for the honour, with the press joining the debate. On April 18, Jones went to a meeting of reeves to settle the county town selection, recording that the vote for Napanee was 9 to 6. The 1863 campaign was pivotal to the future of the County of Lennox and Addington. Richard Cartwright and Napanee businessman John Stevenson championed Lennox and Addington’s bid to separate from Frontenac and secure Napanee as the county town. Beverly Jones was active in the Committee to elect Richard J. Cartwright. June 10th was a very warm day. “The people began pouring into Town early to the nomination which took place in the market square. There must have been some 20003000 [sic] people here”, he noted. When the polling took place a week later, Cartwright got a handsome majority. Then on June 24, Cartwright was returned by a 285 majority. “There was an immense crowd and they ate free gratis,” Jones noted in his diary. Following this, a Royal Proclamation was issued in

September naming Napanee as the county town and appointing John Stevenson as its reeve, to preside at the Provisional Council held in Napanee on Sept. 10, 1863.

Beverly Jones noted Sept. 11 that “the Provisional Council had approved $20,000 to build the buildings (County court house and jail).” One of his last entries in his diary before returning to Brockville noted that “the Provisional Council met here today – Worked all day in office except taking a walk to buy James hickory nuts for Margaret Strachan.” The separation of the Counties of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington in 1863 called for an entire new set of officers for Lennox and Addington. In September 1864, William Henry Wilkison was appointed the first county crown attorney and clerk of the peace for the County of Lennox and Addington. Then in 1869, he was appointed County Judge of Lennox and Addington by Sir John A. Macdonald. Judge Wilkison was

scheduled to attend a special Court of Revision in Kingston on April 16th, 1903 but he died suddenly at home the previous morning. His funeral took place at St. Mary Magdalene Church, Napanee, conducted by Canon Arthur Jarvis. From the church, his remains were taken to the Napanee Railway Station. As arranged by E.W. Rathbun, Deseronto, a Bay of Quinte train draped in black, pulling three coaches carrying members of the Napanee Bar and English Church Clergy from Adolphustown to Tamworth, left the Napanee Station for the K&P Station. The coffin, covered in roses, lilies and carnations, rested in the first car. A cortege of 300 people, including members of the Kingston Bar and the Ontario Diocese clergy, moved up Brock Street to University Avenue and across to Princess Street to the family plot in Cataraqui Cemetery. A memorial window at St. Mary Magdalene Church pays tribute to this kind hearted and popular judge, who was also active in the Councils of the Church and Trinity College. He is remembered as a man with a hearty handshake and congenial manner, with a remarkable record for gaining the respect and confidence of the people. He served as county judge for 34 years.

Event promotes farming education BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

TANKLESS HOME HEAT HEATING SYSTEM

IPPLEBROOK Farm held its first ‘March Break with the Cows’ event on the weekend, opening its large barn doors to the public. The dairy farm milks 130 cows twice a day and provides milk locally and internationally, which is then used to make a number of different dairy products. For Kevin MacLean, a career as a dairy farmer was an easy choice. He grew up on Ripplebrook Farm, when his parents, Barbara and Barton, ran the dairy farm. Today, Kevin is a third-generation farmer, partnering with

Town Of Greater Napanee Explanatory Note To By-Law Number 2014-009

Purpose Of The Zoning By-Law Amendment

An application was received from Laurel and John Alkenbrack to rezone approximately 320 square metres of a 1.6 hectare parcel being severed from a larger parcel of land. Rezoning is from the Environmental Protection zone to an R1-8 zone to allow construction of a single detached dwelling house. The subject lands were found to be above the 1:100 year flood elevation.

The zoning application is accompanied by a severance application (PL COR 2013 039) to sever the 1.6 ha parcel and retain 3.6 ha. The parcel being severed is being rezoned to permit the single unit dwelling house. The zoning implements the provisional consent granted by the Committee of Adjustment.

Effect Of The By-Law Request

The Zoning amendment will place the site within a site specific (R1-8) residential category and allow for the construction of a single unit dwelling house.

his parents to supply milk to organizations locally, across the country and even into the United States. “I was raised here,” said Kevin, who still lives on the farm with his family. “My grandfather actually started the operation in 1955 and then my parents took over from them in 1967. We built this new barn in 2004. In 1950 we produced about 8,000 litres of milk in a month — now we produce 8,000 litres of milk in two days,” said Kevin at the March Break family event on the weekend. Yearly, Ripplebrook Farm produces approximately 1.3 million litres of milk. That milk is sent to a number of locations to be used to make cheeses, yogurt, and other diary products. “It goes to Reid’s Dairy in Belleville for fluid milk

and ice cream, it goes to Maple Dale Cheese north of Belleville for cheese, it goes to Saputo in Trenton for cheese, and it goes to the Natrel plant in Toronto, Kraft Cheese in Cornwall, Parmalat plant in Ingleside (U.S.), and Wilton Cheese as well, which is the most local,” said Kevin. “Anything that you can think of that is made from milk is made from our milk. There’s fluid milk, there’s cheese, there’s butter, yogurt, ice cream, cottage cheese, cream,” he continued Growing up, Kevin said the farm wasn’t quite as busy as it is today, which gave them time to produce their own dairy products on the farm. “I remember when I was a kid making butter. The churn that I used to use is actually still here. We made butter in the

winter, the odd time. We don’t do that anymore, we have too much to do now,” he said, just before some of his cows came in for their second milking of the day. The cows are milked at 5 a.m. and 4 p.m. 365 days of the year. Kevin and his parents employ one fulltime person and four parttime staff to help run their farm. “All our part-timers are high school students so we do provide employment for young people in the community,” he said. Though 130 cows are milked daily, the farm actually houses 260 cows as well as three horses. They also crop 750 acres of land and grow alfalfa, barley, corn and soybeans, which are used to feed the dairy herd. Any remaining corn or soybeans are sold for human consumption and ethanol production.

VOTING | ‘So many weaknesses’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Fellow Ward 3 Councillor Doug Davison was not present at the meeting At Monday’s night’s meeting, most of the debate surrounded whether or not Stone Mills voters would be guaranteed the option of using paper ballots. Ward 2 (Sheffield) councillor Todd Steele said he wouldn’t support the bylaw if a paper ballot provision wasn’t included. “After doing some research, I still fully support electronic voting. I think it’s a step in the right direction. I also have discovered that most of our peers in the municipal world here in Ontario do in fact allow for the paper ballots. Going from one to the other without a bit of an interim, I don’t think I can support at this time. Most that have switched to electronic voting include the paper ballots for the first time around, to varying to degrees of success, but in any case it’s sort of a transition,” he said. Ward 3 Councillor Clarence Kennedy successfully introduced an amendment to the bylaw that explicitly states that paper ballots would remain an option for voters. Not all council members were completely comfortable with the provision. Ward 1 (Newburgh) Councillor Kevin Wagar said he worried that allowing for paper ballots after the switch to electronic voting might add to the cost of the election

and introduce an unnecessary element of confusion. “I think electronic is the way of the future… but if we start convoluting that with paper ballots, I think that might be problematic,” he told council. Despite those concerns, Wagar voted with the majority of council to pass the bylaw. Council’s decision was given a thumbs-down by Wayne Goodyer, who was among a group of citizens who are concerned about what the move to electronic voting will mean. In an interview after the meeting, Goodyer argued that moving to an electronic voting system will open up the democratic process to fraud, either by hacking the computer system used to tally the votes, or through undue influence on voters who will no longer exercise

TRAILS | More research needed

their franchise within a voting booth. “(Council members) don’t seem to understand just how big a change this is, and how vital it is,” Goodyer said, noting that the push to move toward electronic voting in Stone Mills has developed only over the past few months. He suggested that people might hold ‘voting parties’. “They all have their ballots, but they’re not in the voting booth. They can conduct a vote where they have a party. You can have alcohol present. You can have influential individuals present,” he said. Goodyer contended that, under such a system, the public wouldn’t have the same faith in the outcome as with a traditional voting system. “Because there are so many weaknesses, no one is going to buy into the result,” he said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 Once the information is compiled and brought back to council, staff and council will need to look at property ownership. “We’ll be looking at the issue that in the past some sections have been sold off so I’m not sure how that impacts this. We’ve got some homework to do,” said Morgan. Researching background information and policies for title and ownership of the tracks is what Morgan and his staff is doing now. If the trail moves forward, Morgan said it would connect residential and recreational areas with schools. “Overall the notion of a trail system and the connectivity between the subdivisions and the school is

fairly promising,” he said. “The abandoned rail line runs right through the municipality, east to west.” The idea of recycling the railway tracks into a trail was first brought up about a year ago. “Last year we were north of one of the subdivisions working on some grading and drainage issues and noticed we hadn’t done anything with the rail line at this point, not that I’m aware of,” said

Morgan. It was formally brought to council last Tuesday. Morgan is not sure of the length of the railway, but connecting it to Deseronto is an option he and his staff are looking into. “That can all be looked at as far as the opportunities there,” he said. “We’ll have drawings that will show everything as we move forward with this research.”

Dylan Bruce earns ESS all-star nod Rookie impresses coaches

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Dylan Bruce didn’t have much experience on a basketball court prior to this season but the Ernestown Secondary School rookie was a quick study. The 14-year-old impressed his coaches enough in his first year that he was named as the school’s representative to the KASSAA all-star basketball game. The match, which featured top players from across the Kingston region, took place last Tuesday in Bayridge. When not on the court Bruce can be found helping out in his home town Odessa and beyond. “We do a lot of stuff through the school, like getting food for the food bank,” said Bruce. “We did a fundraiser to build a well in a less fortunate country.” Starting in 2010 he went a full two years without getting a hair cut, saving his locks for Angel Hair

For Kids, which creates wigs for children who have lost their hair due to illnesses like cancer. “When I grew my hair it was such an easy thing that can help someone else,” he said. Being an athlete with long hair sometimes meant he was subjected to ribbing from opposing players but he endured it for the greater good. He continued to play both hockey and soccer in shoulder length hair despite the heckling he would hear from his opponents. It’s that attitude that helped him pick up the sport of basketball so quickly, earning an all-star selection. He was the lone male representative for the Ernestown Golden Eagles. When asked how he was able to learn the lowpost position in just a few short weeks he's quick to give credit where he feels it's due. “Both of my coaches are really good,” Bruce said.

Novice Stars sweep their way to East title Napanee cements perfect season with dominating win on Sunday Beaver Sports

apanee Country Traditions Novice A Stars clinched the OMHA Novice A East Championship Sunday afternoon on home ice with a decisive 7-1 victory over Uxbridge. Counting the regular season and playoffs the Stars had a perfect 35-0 record. “It was obviously an incredible year. The entire team showed steady improvement, as did the other teams in the league,” said Stars head coach Kevin Brown. “Every player on our team was entirely committed and showed a tremendous amount of heart. As good as they are as hockey players they are even better kids.” Sunday’s series clinching game started with Napanee coming out strong and eager to set the tone of the game. Despite heavy pressure, it wasn’t until 1:08 left in the first until Napanee had their first goal. Napanee scored four

Pirates finish off Jets Picton moves on to face Lakefield Beaver Sports

Not leaving anything to chance and erasing all suspense early, the Picton Pirates clinched their second straight Empire B

League Tod Trophy with a convincing 7-0 shutout of the Amherstview Jets. Ryan Sizer and Garrett Nichol each lit the lamp twice to power the home team’s win on Thursday, allowing Picton to close out the series in five games.

more in the second and two in the third for the decisive 7-1 win. Napanee goals went to Spencer Cranley, Cal Uens (two), Nolan Fox (two), Ethan Sutcliffe and Carter McKee. Assists were credited to Uens (two), Ty Kemp, Will Myers, Gavin Brooks (two), Lukas Hannah, Jack Madden (two) and Brody Beaubien. Jacob Brown had another outstanding game for the team in net for the Napanee Stars. In Saturday’s Game 2 Napanee secured a huge 62 win on the road to help set up the clincher at home. Napanee opened the scoring with a goal with 2:44 left in the first period. Napanee then scored four more times in the second and once more in the third for the win and 2-0 lead in the best of five series. Scoring for Napanee were Brooks, Sutcliffe, Uens (two), Fox and McKee. Assists went to Uens (two), McKee, Beaubien, Taylor Gilmour, and Kemp. Brown stood

tall once again between the pipes for Napanee stopping 17 shots. The championship capped off an outstanding season for the Novice A Stars. Statistically during the regular season they had an incredible 229 goals for while allowing just 38 with eight shutouts in 26 games. In the playoffs, Napanee scored 74 goals while allowing just eight with a pair of shutouts in nine games. The Country Traditions Novice A Stars also won three Major Novice Tournaments. n Elsewhere the Lakeshore League semifinals ended for the Napanee Exit Realty Minor Bantams Monday night with a 3-2 overtime loss in a pivotal fifth game in Whitby, the Stars second visit there in as many nights. The Stars put in a solid performance, again, scoring first in the middle frame. Kyle Weese put a puck on net, and Kiel Benton managed to tip it, in the blue ice, into the net. The Wildcats went up 2-1

on power play markers, before the locals again knotted the score at two, as Eric Joyner fed Benton for a blast that Ethan Winters converted, and overtime loomed. With 29 ticks on the clock, a scramble in the Napanee zone led to the winner by Whitby. They were the last Napanee team eliminated from playoff contention. Earlier, they played Game 3 on Saturday on the Goodyear rink. At that point, the locals led 2-0 in games, hoping to close it out. However, like the zombie that keeps coming back, Whitby kept reaching up from below. With a shot bench, Napanee had added four call-ups from Peewee who performed admirably. For 36 minutes, it was a defensive struggle with neither team gaining an edge. The locals had several opportunities, and Finn Pierce stood tall in net for the Stars, making several exceptional saves.

STARS | Another season in the books CONTINUED FROM PAGE 22 It took a power play midway in the third period for the visitors to tally the only marker of the game, and a 1-0 loss for Napanee. Sunday in Whitby, Liam Boyd was spectacular in nets, and the boys were fired up. A fine passing play by Steven Shea and Ryan Kirkpatrick allowed Ryan McLay to find the back of the net. The boys took their second lead of the night at 2-1 during a four-on-three power play when Kyle Weese fired a high shot over the goalie. Napanee again led 3-2 when the Whitby goalie went for a stroll, and Alex

Brady set up Benton who filled an empty net. A late penalty allowed the home squad to even things at 3-3. In overtime, the hosts found a way to win 4-3. Now, it’s only seven weeks until next year’s tryouts. n Meanwhile the season was winding down for Napanee’s female players as well. The Atom Crunch completed their Lower Lakes playoffs against Clarington Flames over the past two weekends, dropping both games by a count of 2-1. In Game 1 Napanee’s Hailey Thompson opened the scoring, netting her own rebound. Clarington

played a strong offensive game and were able to slide in two goals. In the second game in Clarington Alyssa McMullen tucked in a stray puck to give the girls an early lead however Clarington persevered and again were able to find the back of the net to rally for the win. Hollie Phillips played strong in net for both games, keeping her team in the game until the final buzzer. This ends the girls quest for Lower Lakes Championship now giving them time to prepare for OWHA Provincials, which are set to take place in April.

NDCC’s curling season enters final week of play Men’s league down to final seven rinks

Napanee native Adam Shulist had one goal in the series but it wasn’t enough to keep his Amherstview Jets alive in the postseason. They bowed out of the Empire B League finals in five games, losing Thursday’s Game 5 by a count of 7-0.

PIRATES | Wood stands tall to blank Jets CONTINUED FROM PAGE 22 Brian Bunnett opened the scoring just 2:25 into the game, which remained 1-0 into the second. That’s when the defending champs began to pull away, scoring three more times in each of the final two frames. Taylor Brown and Evan Greer each added a goal to round out the scoring. Adam Wood stopped all 24 of Amherstview’s shots for the shutout. Though they entered the series as underdogs to the top seeded Pirates, the Jets were playing some of their best hockey, starting their playoff run with five

straight wins. Though they had their struggles throughout the season, they always found a way to win when it mattered, winning their final game to not only seal up a playoff berth, but grab the second seed. The win marked four straight for Picton after they dropped Game 1 by a score of 3-1. They’ve now advanced to the Schmalz Cup quarter-finals where they will face the Lakefield Chiefs in a best-of-seven series. After winning the coin toss the Pirates have elected to host Game 1 and will head to Lakefield for Game 2 on Saturday.

They’re back in action Sunday as Picton plays host for Game 3 followed by Game 4 in Lakefield on Tuesday. All games feature 7:30 p.m. opening face-offs. Representing the Central Ontario Junior C League, the Chiefs were the top team in the regular season, going 35-4-1. They’re attempting to become the first Central Ontario League team to reach the final four since they did so in 2007. Picton is looking to follow in the footsteps of the Grimsby Peach Kings, who won back-to-back Schmalz Cup titles in 2011 and 2012.

ll leagues are now down to the crunch with only one week of play to go. Monday Men’s are playing for the Club Championship so good luck to the teams of Daryl Latimer, Robert Dickson, Ian Munro, Robert Paul, Phil Wilson, Mark Dunham and Jim Stapley. After a five game round robin the top two in each of four pools were picked for this four team sudden death playdown. The rest of the leagues are trying hard for that one more win to earn their name on one of the league plaques. This is what the season has lead up to since the fall. A team of local ladies took second place in Tweed’s Saint Patrick’s Day Bonspiel. They were Jane Hough, Susi Reinink, Ingeborg Donald, and Anne Whalen-Knapp. They were just three quarters of a point away from getting the trophy.

NDCC’s team of Bryce Rowe, Ryan Rowe, Robert Dickson and Scott Dickson did the club proud at the Provincial Colts OCA event last weekend but were just a game short of making the playoffs. It is always nice to see Napanee represented in one of these third level events. The annual General Meeting is set for Sunday, March 30 at 1 p.m. and the Closing Martin & Walters is fast approaching. The event will see two games consisting of teams compiled of family, friends and fellow curlers followed

MEMORIAMS

GRAWBERGER - In memory of a dear father and grandfather, Robert “John” who passed away March 20, 2011. We’re sending a dove to Heaven above, With a parcel on its wings, Be careful when you open it, It’s filled with beautiful things, Inside are a million kisses Wrapped up in a million hugs, To say how much we love you And to send you all our love. Love always, Laurie, Jack, Liza and Shane. GRAWBERGER - In memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Robert “John” who passed away March 20, 2011. Forget to grieve for my going, I would not have you sad for a day, But in summer just gather some flowers And remember the place where I lay And come in the evening When the sun paints the sky in the west, Stand for a few moments beside me And remember only my best. Lovingly remembered forever by wife Barbara, sons, Bob, Peter, Stephen and family. MURPHY - In loving memory of a dear grandson, Kale, who passed away March 23, 2006. No matter how we spend our days No matter what we do, No mornings dawn, no nights return Without a thought of you, Many a lonely heartache, Often a silent tear, But always a beautiful memory Of the one we love so dear. Missing and loving you. Forever in our hearts, Nan and Pop Finn. SEXSMITH - In loving memory of our mom, Gladys, who passed away March 21, 2008. You are with the angels now, It was time to say good-bye, Yet still it’s hard to hide the pain, No matter how we try, For you were such a special mom With lots of love to share And knowing you are no longer here, Is very hard to bear And though the grief will pass And time will help heal the pain, Somehow life without you mom, Will never be the same. Sadly missed and sadly in our thoughts and in our hearts. Love, Elizabeth and Eddie.

The Laws, Keith Glass ready to take stage at Tamworth Legion BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

AMWORTH’S Legion will be bursting with talented, awardwinning performers next weekend providing bluegrass and acoustic country acts by The Laws and Prairie Oyster’s Keith Glass. The Laws, made up of Michele and Jon Law, are an award winning Canadian folk-grass duo and were the first Canadians to win the Merlefest’s Chris Austin Songwriting Contest. The evening is expected to offer a blend of folk, bluegrass and acoustic country. “We’ll have a variety of musical styles. There are only two of us but we have a fairly big sound. We both sing lead and harmony with lots of variety and a great show. We’ve played so many live shows that the music is part of it but also the in-between the music, that’s important to us too, to keep people entertained,” said Michele Law. As for Glass, who is known widely for his country music style with the band Prairie Oyster, said his favourite part of performing solo is being able to write and perform a number of different genres. “It’s limiting, to an extent, when you are a country band. You have to keep it somewhat within the parameters of country music. So I would say now I tend to write whatever comes into my head,” said Glass, who promises to perform songs he wrote from Prairie Oyster as well as some songs from his solo career. Glass won six Juno and 11 Cana-

dian Country Music Awards with Prairie Oyster before heading out on his solo career. The Laws have also branched out musically and have taken their passion for music and expanded it into their love of food and teaching. Between performing and writing, the duo now hosts a musical food show, has opened two music schools, run a music store and will also be running a folk music festival this summer in Kingsville. “We’re very busy but we’re not

touring as much,” said Michele, explaining why she and Jon have taken on so many large music projects. “We just thought for a while we’d stick closer to home.” Their pasta and music show has been successful for about six years now. Michele said it was a hobby of hers that later evolved into a profession. “We just found that it seemed like a fun thing to do, food and music tend to go together for a lot of people,” said Michele. “We’ve been singing and teaching people how to make pasta.” “I’m really excited to be on the same bill with The Laws. Michelle and Jon have been friends and musical cohorts for many years and this will be a great reunion,” said Glass. Glass is no stranger to Tamworth. Though he’s performed in Tamworth with Prairie Oyster, he was playing in Tamworth long before that with the late Bernie Jaffe. “Bernie and I were bandmates together over 40 years ago and were friends ever since until his death. We go back a long way,” said Glass. He also taught at the first and 10th annual ‘Keep It Simple’ Bernie Jaffe Memorial Fiddle Camp. “One of my earliest studio experiences was in the studio in Tamworth when it used to be in the funeral parlor. So I’m familiar with Tamworth, go way back,” he said. The Laws and Glass will be performing at the Tamworth Legion next Saturday at 8 p.m. as part of the Tamworth-Erinsville Community Development Committee Concert Series.

COMMUNITY FARM CALENDAR

THE AG & RURAL UPDATE IS AN ELECTRONIC BULLETIN THAT IS PRODUCED WEEKLY BY STAFF AT THE ONTARIO MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE & FOOD, (OMAF), BRIGHTON RESOURCE CENTRE. IT IS DISTRIBUTED FREE TO SUBSCRIBERS. NOT ALL OF THE INFORMATION USED IN THIS FARM CALENDAR IS SUPPLIED BY THE ELECTRONIC BULLETIN. If you are the owner/operator of a farm, clearly communicate to your staff The farming environment Farm safety education for life Farms are more than just work sites; they are places where people of all that risk-taking involving machinery or vehicles is not allowed or tolerated. Farms across Canada vary in size, what they produce and how many people they employ. But like all other workplaces, there are inherent on-the-job safety hazards that need to be addressed in order to prevent injuries and save lives. Agriculture ranks the fourth most hazardous industry in Canada, with 12.9 deaths per 100,000 farm population. From 1990 to 2008, an average of 104 people died every year from agricultural incidents in Canada, according to the Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) program. Along with the human cost, unintentional injuries have significant financial implications that total approximately $374 million each year. These unintentional injuries are the result of incidents such as motor vehicle collisions, entanglements with farm machinery, and rollovers. Unintentional injuries are preventable injuries. The right attitude toward safety and the right training saves lives. This National Farm Safety Week, from March 14 to 20, the Canada Safety Council encourages all farm operators and employees to seek proper training to ensure the safe operation of all vehicles and machinery on the farm.

ages live and play. Children grow up contributing to the family’s farming operation, while many seasoned farmers never officially retire and continue working well into their golden years. For many, farming is more than a job – it is a way of life. A big part of this lifestyle involves the operation of machinery – everything from trucks to tractors, combines, ATVs, ARGOs and snowmobiles. Sadly, 70 per cent of the agricultural fatalities involve machines. The right training, including refresher courses and regular conversations about the safe operation of machinery, can equip farm workers, visitors and those who live on farms with life-saving information and a safety-first attitude. Recommendations Teach children safety fundamentals. This includes clearly identifying where farm machinery and vehicles are operated, and where they may not play. Children need to develop a healthy respect for the potential dangers of being near a moving machine or vehicle, and learn how to stay safe.

Your employees should understand that you expect them to always operate in a safe manner. This includes no speeding and no impaired or distracted driving. Make sure operators are competent, confident and capable when it comes to using machinery. If additional training or instruction is necessary, make safety the priority. Take the time to read manuals, ask questions and consult industry experts who can give you answers. Get training The Canada Safety Council offers the following safety training courses that may be of interest to farm operators and employees. • ARGO Operator Course • ATV Rider Course • Confined Spaces Training Course • Ladder Safety Training Course Snowmobile Operators Course • Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) Side by Side Course • WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) Training Course.Take the time to get the training you need to stay safe on the farm. It’s an investment in safety with a lifetime of benefits!

Tips for making your home allergy-free Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the winter that never seems to end. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to open up my windows and let the fresh air in. It just feels like we have been cooped up in the house all winter. Luckily no one in my household suffers from indoor allergies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but about 40 million people do. If you have indoor allergies, you often feel miserable, tired, and your eyes water all the time. You may want to get the house as allergen free as possible. Whether you are allergic to dust, pets, mold, pollen or all the above, it can be hard to know where to begin. Visiting an allergist will help you focus your preventative measures. There is no point in making changes at home if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t address your particular allergies. Work your way around the house eliminating those specific allergens. Here are some easy ways to combat allergens and create a cleaner, healthier home. First of all stick with a regular cleaning schedule. Keeping dust and pet dander at bay is a continual process, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially important to stay on top of cleaning when allergies are a concern. Be sure to wipe surfaces with a damp rag rather than dry dusting, which often just brushes dust back in the air. Also try going green with your cleaners. Harsh chemical cleaners may irritate those with allergies. Luckily, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite easy to find safe and effective natural cleaners, so you can cut back on the synthetic stuff. Consider upgrading your vacuum cleaner. If it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a HEPA filter, switch to one that does. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re specifically made to trap particles as tiny as 0.3 microns â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which means theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to capture most allergens. Make sure you choose a vacuum cleaner with a bag that can be changed easily so it prevents dust from spewing everywhere. Start a no-shoes policy. Keep dust, pollen and more from entering your house in the first place by encouraging visitors to slip off their shoes at the door. Lay down two doormats at each entryway-one outside, one

also help keep dust at a minimum. There are more than 100,000 species of mold on the planet, and one of their favourite places to live is your bathroom. Clean it regularly, making sure to dry off surfaces that collect standing water, and make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well ventilated. Frequent cleaning and plenty of fresh air should keep mildew and mold at bay. Replace broken tiles and re-caulk sinks and tubs every few years to discourage mold growth behind walls. But if you do see mold, be sure to use a cleanser that says it kills mold â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not all of them do. Make sure your kitchen and bathroom fans direct particles and humidity out of the house entirely. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re venting damp spaces to your attic, mold can start growing there and eventually spread to the rest of

your house. Most people forget to look under the kitchen sink. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a prime spot for mold growth when pipes drip. Pull everything out of the cabinet and inspect the interior carefully for signs of leaks. Get leaks fixed, seal hoses, clean the area, and keep it tidy and dry to eliminate irritant build up. Consider investing in a hygrometer. High humidity can lead to mold growth and other problems; this simple device will give you an idea of your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moisture levels. Pick up one at your local hardware store and take a measurement in each room. If you get readings of above 60 percent in any room or area, consider getting a dehumidifier. Hopefully the weather will soon get milder and we can get some fresh air in our homes. Opening the

windows, even for a few hours will rid your home of stale air. If you have seasonal allergies, consider using a room air filter to clean the air. Avoid using fireplaces and definitely do not allow smoking in the house. Typically allergies will not go away, but following these tips can make a dramatic improvement with your symptoms. Eliminating allergens at their source, and avoiding triggers as much as possible, is really your best plan of attack.

Rule change means mayor must vote

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Moving forward, the mayor of Deseronto will be expected to vote on all matters that come before the council table. On Tuesday, Deputy Mayor Clarence Zieman moved third reading on

bylaw 13-14, being a bylaw to govern the proceedings of council. The new procedural bylaw stated that the mayor would vote on all matters. The motion was carried unanimously by council. Up until now, the mayor only voted in the event of a tie or in the case of a recorded vote.

APPOINTMENTS TO THE PRINCE EDWARD - LENNOX & ADDINGTON HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE Prince Edward - Lennox & Addington Social Services invites applications from residents of Prince Edward County and the County of Lennox & Addington who are interested in being considered for appointment to the Prince Edward - Lennox & Addington (PELA) Housing Advisory Committee. The PELA Housing Advisory Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate is to provide advice and recommendations to the Prince Edward - Lennox & Addington Social Services Committee on matters related to affordable housing, homelessness and social housing programs and issues.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have a procedural bylaw, which we read a first and second time at the last council meeting and one of our council members suggested the mayor should vote for every issue,â&#x20AC;? explained Zieman, prior to the motion being passed. Councillor Dennis Tompkins said allowing the mayor to vote on all issues would provide more transparency with council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our leader, we should give him the opportunity to point our direction and then people know exactly where the mayor stands on issues rather than not having him vote and not having any influence. Personally, I like the idea of it,â&#x20AC;? Tompkins commented. The new bylaw reads: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Head of Council, or

the presiding officer except where that person is disqualified to vote by reason of interest or otherwise, shall vote on all matters.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Norm Clark said he is not opposed to the new bylaw, but did say he had some concerns with its timing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any problem with it. It was basically just the timing, as you know this is an election year and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already been asked as to why this is being done in an election year,â&#x20AC;? he said on Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve thought about it and people have asked me and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to tell them that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing behind this,â&#x20AC;? Clark continued. Moving forward, if the mayor does not vote then his vote will automatically count as not in favour of the motion on the table.

Deseronto council won’t fight new OPP costing formula BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Deseronto council has chosen not to support municipalities opposing the proposed new OPP contract formula, expected to be distributed in 2015. Instead, council argues that say the new formula would introduce more fairness across the province when it comes to policing costs. Council received a letter from Seguin Township, located north of Toronto between Parry Sound and Huntsville, asking for support in opposing the proposed OPP model. “Since Nov. 2013, Seguin council has been calling on the OPP and the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services to scrap or modify the proposed unfair police services funding model. We have accordingly sent letters to the Premier, various MPPs and the OPP as well as made a pres-

entation to the Minister in charge of the OPP,” a letter sent Deseronto council from Seguin Township read. “Our council is strongly opposed to this new model and believe the potential cost impacts to be completely unacceptable and unaffordable in our rural municipality,” the letter went on. According to the letter, the new model would triple Seguin’s police costs from $600,000 to $1.8 million, which would require an 11 per cent tax increase. At a council meeting on Tuesday, Deputy Mayor Clarence Zieman said he is fed up with municipalities not supporting the proposed OPP system. “Some of these letters are starting to bother me because for years the Town of Deseronto has raised the subject that we were paying $600 per household, plus. We were just the little guys in this next of the woods and no one gave a damn. Now, because they’re changing

the formula and some of these people that have not been paying their share are starting to yell and scream because now they’re going to be paying $300 per household. I say we say, ‘to hell with it,’ because we’re sick of this stuff,” Zieman said. “I would support that,” said councillor Edgar Tumak. Zieman moved only to receive the letter, which was seconded by Tumak and carried unanimously by council. “What the deputy mayor is saying is true. Deseronto, for longer than I can remember, has paid close to $700 per household and I know other communities that are paying $100

per household but now that their costs are going up, they’re the ones that are doing the yelling. We’ve been sitting here for 10 years, at least, paying the top dollar,” said Mayor Norm Clark. Such costs have caused Deseronto, and a number of other Ontario municipali-

ties, many problems when it comes to budget time. However, Clark said he wanted to make it clear that Deseronto council does support the OPP, just not the cost of the contracts. “I think that I speak on

Every year we make new year’s resolutions and say we want to live happier and healthier. The truth is life is too good to go without a smile. So what’s stopping you? Most denture wearers have not changed their dentures in over 10 years. Dentures have an average life span of 5-8 years. To many wearers this comes as a surprise. As we age, our mouths change due to gum and bone loss resulting in sagging facial features and loose, painful dentures. The dentures move due to excessive bone loss creating a floating appearance. This is seen particularly in lower dentures. As the teeth get older they naturally start to stain and it makes it more difficult to clean. The teeth will also start to wear down making the chewing surface less effective. Denture wearers don’t realize all these changes because they’ve had them so long. If your current dentures are over 15 years your bite force will be reduced to 6 pounds of force compared to 200 pounds of force with natural teeth. This leads to swallowing large pieces of food which can create digestive problems resulting in acid reflux, choking hazards and constipation. Many claim to be able to eat what they want but are they able to chew properly? Like the old Chinese proverb says "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now!” If you would like more information please Husband and wife (Al and Elsie Leeson) with their new smiles courtesy contact Wayne Martins DD. of the “newest dental treatments” with Denturist Wayne Martins DD
