Council meets after loss of reeve

Jacob Boutillier delivers a L&A Seniors Outreach Services Meals on Wheels package to his great-grandmother June Lakins on Wednesday as part of the ‘Future Community Champions’ campaign. The event was celebrated across North America.
It has been more than two months since Greater Napanee Ward 4 Councillor Carol Harvey moved a motion for more information on the 18 Water St. building and, after discussing it again on Tuesday, staff has committed to present a report to council at its next meeting. On Jan. 12, Harvey moved that staff bring quotes to council detailing costs for renovating, demolishing, and relocating the building. Later at that same meeting, though, council also moved to work toward a strategic plan. Staff then turned its gears toward an overall master plan, which would include recommended direction for the 18 Water St. property. “Right now, staff is in a holding pattern as far as maintaining the site as is, making sure it’s secure, and we’ll come back with an overall plan in the future,” said Greater Napanee Chief Administrative Officer Ray Callery at Tuesday’s regular meeting. “The 18 Water St., other than securing the property at this point in time, it’s part of what we requested for an overall plan of the entire waterfront. So the direction to staff so far is to not proceed with any action at this time for 18 Water St.” Callery said the goal is to have a strategic master plan in place by the end of this term of council. Harvey said she was under the impression that, as per her motion, a report outlining costs for the above three options would be presented to council prior to the master plan. “I made the motion, and it passed, that staff would get a cost to do those three things and I can’t see why that’s so costly

Stone Mills Township
Council holds first meeting since reeve’s passing Members to take time to deliberate on how to fill vacancy left by loss of Clarence Kennedy
BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
N Monday night, the nameplate for Stone Mills Reeve Clarence Kennedy sat on the table in front of his empty chair at the first council meeting since the reeve’s passing last week. Kennedy was also serving as the warden of Lennox
O
and Addington County at the time of his death on March 13, after a brief battle with cancer. Before council began its meeting, Deputy-Reeve Eric Smith offered a few remarks before assuming the chair’s role for the meeting, offering his condolences to Kennedy’s family. “Clarence was a strong contributor as a member of Stone Mills council. He was

We will
continue to do what we feel is the in the best interests of Stone Mills,� Smith said. It also appears Stone Mills council will take as much time as it needs to fill the chair at the head of council. After being informed of the options council has to fill the vacancy left by Kennedy’s death, council elected to take the information under consideration to allow council members to mull over those options.

Health centre building construction on track BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Construction of the new health centre building on Dundas Street in Napanee is nearing completion and is on track to meet its July move-in date. It will be almost one year since construction crews broke ground at 26 Dundas Street West and despite a few setbacks over the past year, the project has stayed on schedule. The building should be completed by June and staff should be moving in by July. “The building looks amazing. They’re finishing with a lot of the wiring but all of the walls and framing is complete. It really is just working on the inside finishes,” said Meghan O’Leary, Manager of Regional Programs for the Napanee Area Community Health Centre. “There had been a few little delays but the weather co-operated over the winter so we were able to catch up. There’s a detailed schedule of where we’re supposed to be at every step of the way and we’re on track with that. We don’t expect any more delays and it is to be finished by mid-June,” O’Leary added. The Napanee Area Community Health Centre, run under the Kingston Community Health Centres, will replace the current health centre location in Napanee
Napanee so the new space will allow for all programs to be run right from the office and not have to rely on rented or donated space. The Chill Zone currently runs Tuesdays and Thursdays out space provided by the MorningStar Mission. This program will be one of the many that will be run out of the health centre once it’s complete. The program will run four days a week through the summer. The new NACHC building will also include Indigenous health programming, sexual health clinics, harm reduction supplies, and the Salmon River Health Link (SRHL). The SRHL helps meet the needs of patients with multiple, complex conditions through a system of coordinated care. Though the new NACHC building will increase in size, staffing levels will remain the same. The medical clinic will conAdam Prudhomme-Staff The new Napanee and Area Community Health Centre building on Dundas tinue to have four primary care providers.

That’s something we

About 10 people are added to the wait list each week and the list is growing faster than the centre can keep up. O’Leary said the clinic will not be bringing on another doctor because the health centre is funded by the government and there is not enough funding provided for another physician. O’Leary said doctor shortages is a strain felt across the province, especially in rural communities. “There are deficits in providers that are actively taking on new patients. This is an issue across Ontario. In Napanee, there are not too many primary care providers who are taking on new clients so there is a long wait list to get a doctor in Napanee. In the last year, there’s been two physicians that have left the community, which has left quite a few people without primary care,” O’Leary said. The Deseronto health centre is also moving its location. As of early May, services in Deseronto will be delivered at 344 Main Street, Deseronto; up the road from its current location.

Local contractor tapped for HGTV show project AFW Construction took lead on Income Property episode
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
Submitted
Local contractor Andrew Wemp of AFW Construction (left) and Income Property host Scott McGillivary pose for a picture at the site of an episode of the show taped in this area in November. The episode will be broadcast on HGTV in Canada on April 6 at 10 p.m.
An upcoming episode of HGTV Canada’s popular show Income Property will have a local connection, teaming a contractor with cottage owners who all have Napanee roots. Set to air April 6 at 10 p.m., the episode will see Andrew Wemp of AFW Construction working to turn Cait van Straalen and her dad Ron’s lake-side cottage in Hartington into a rental property. “We did a complete gut and re-do,” said Wemp, a general contractor who hired several local workers to assist him on the project. Though the reno job itself was nothing new for Wemp, working on a construction site that also doubled as a production set was a first. “It was totally different, it was a pretty cool experience,” said Wemp. “They would show up every Wednesday with about 15 people, all the camera crew, sound crew, lighting crew, producers, all that. I’d have to have certain stages done of the process of the job. They would want to see the flooring getting done, they’d want to see the stone going up on the fireplace, we did an all wood ceiling, they’d

want to see that as it went up.” Although it may not appear like it in the episode, Wemp’s crew had to work long hours to keep up with the demand. “We did maybe 99 per cent of the work, when you see the episode it looks like we’re doing about one per cent of the work,” said Wemp. “When you’re watching the show you don’t realize how much work the other contractor does. Working with the show, they were very intelligent and they knew what they were doing and they had good products to work with. Scott (McGillivary, the show’s host) was a real good guy to work with, but there was a tight, tight timeline.” And just to make things all the more interesting Wemp says the project, which would normally take about seven or eight weeks, had to be done in four to fit with the production schedule. It also makes for a unique experience for the property owners as well, who have to adhere to a different set of rules when they agree to be on the show. Van Straalen, who bought the property with her recently retired dad as a way to make some extra income, says she wasn’t really sure what to expect
when she first applied to be on the show. Once a property owner agrees to be on the show they give up a lot of creative freedom to the show’s designers. That also includes the right to pick which construction company does the work. As luck would have it the show’s producers selected Wemp’s company. It just so happened that Wemp and van Straalen had gone to high school together, which makes for a neat extra dynamic to the episode. “I didn’t have a say at all,” van Straalen said of the design. “They didn’t give me an option until ‘option day’, the day where they come in and say they’ve seen my place, here’s Option A, here’s Option B. I didn’t have a choice in any colours, any flooring in the kitchen, the bedroom, nothing like that.”
Despite the risk, she was quite pleased with the finished product. “It blew away any expectation,” she said. “They kind of see your personality and work with it and know what you want.” Appearing on the episode could prove to be a huge benefit to but the owners and the contractors, who hope the added exposure will lead to more business. The van Straalens hope to begin renting their cottage this summer. The producers seemed quite pleased with Wemp’s work, even offering him the chance to appear in another episode for a property in Blue Mountain. Though he had to turn it down due to it being too far from his offices, he says he’d be open to working with the show again should they return to the Lennox and Addington, Kingston or Frontenac area.

EDITORIAL
The Ford Phenomenon There have been plenty of eulogies and memorials for Toronto councillor and former mayor Rob Ford since his passing on Tuesday; there’s not much to add about this very polarizing political figure who captured the attention of those far beyond his city’s borders during his time in office. Suffice to say, at age 46, his life was snuffed out far too early by cancer, and that’s tragic, particularly for his family and young children. Indeed, the disease cut short a political career that, to this point, was unprecedented, and it’s impossible to know now what the next chapter in the Rob Ford political saga would have been. Without a doubt, right up until his death, that story had been a page-turner. Ford’s political rise and most certainly his fall were just about all the media could talk about for months on end. For a while, it was a real-life soap opera that was impossible to ignore. What made Ford so popular? His politics certainly had something to do with it — his mantra of ‘cutting the gravy train’ in Toronto obviously struck a chord with many. But that was, in our view, just a part of the story. He wasn’t someone to mince words; he was politically incorrect and ‘spoke his mind’. Now, does that sound like anybody else who’s making headlines these days? Strange hair, billionaire, running for President of the United States? Unwittingly perhaps, Ford ushered us into the age of reality television politics, for better or worse. Whether he was the one doing the ‘ushering’, or if he simply emerged from the new landscape that’s emerging, we’re not sure. We live in an age where it’s easier than ever to cherry pick your news sources, your entertainment, everything. We can get news that is tailor-made to stroke our own political biases. Cutting through all the distractions can be a tall order for political figures. Ford certainly found a way to cut through those distractions, didn’t he? He did it by doing things politicians aren’t supposed to do, and aren’t supposed to say. Whether that makes him a hero or a villain will vary greatly depending on who you talk to, but there’s no denying the phenomenon is real. We’re not sure if Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump sat up and took notice of Ford when Ford was in the middle of the media’s spotlight. We do know that, during that time, and despite obvious missteps and embarrassments, Ford’s popularity hung steady, if not increased. Given Ford’s difficulties, that’s a very counterintuitive trend. Nevertheless, Trump’s making established media howl in very much the same way Ford did in Toronto and Canada, and instead of seeing his political fortunes crash and burn (the thing you’d expect to happen), he’s on the verge of becoming the Republican nominee. It’s a phenomenon that is troubling to some, a breath of fresh air to others. Regardless of which is the case, there’s no doubt something is happening. By design or not, and for good or ill, Ford showed the way.

Letter to the Editor
Lack of information clouds tax policy I would like to make a few comments in regards to the article ‘Council Gets First Taxation Report’ on March 10 in The Napanee Beaver. In the article it indicates that the OPP response times are no longer coded for each ward. The article indicated Insp. Finnegan said that the information required was available but it would take time to extract the pertinent values for which the TPRC and council is required to make an accurate assessment in regards to the level of service in Greater Napanee. From my understanding, the OPP uses the same database program throughout Ontario and that information is currently being used in Prince Edward County to monitor all the wards within its jurisdiction. I am sure that there is someone within the Napanee OPP services that can filter the information out of their databases that won’t compromise the privacy of information laws. If there is a cost associated with this task, it will need to be identified and addressed within the committee. The TPRC requires accu-
Visit
rate information when determining cost associated and I feel without that information a decision cannot be made. I also believe that Carol Harvey’s comments are inaccurate when it comes to response time and the cost associated with fire services. She indicates that there is an increased cost associated when the fire department is dispatched and sends an extra truck to an emergency call in a rural versus one in the urban. She fails to mention the related costs in maintaining fire hydrants and the infrastructure associated to their use, like snow removal and yearly flushing preventative maintenance programs. She also said: “I felt if it’s basically the same level of services, we weren’t going to area-rate anything. We are just going to add up the cost between urban and rural.” She will need to look at the whole picture and research her facts about living in rural Napanee. After consulting with my home and property insurance broker, I was advised that I am required to pay a premium of 40-50 per cent more than if I was to live in
the identical home, which was plotted in an urban setting. My agent indicated that this is the insurance standard throughout the industry, which I did verify with a second quote. As a rural property owner, I pay $1,200 a year on a semi-protected policy. If my house and property were to be located in town I was informed it would be $650 on a fully-protected service that can be provided in a specific time frame. If the big insurance companies feel that there is a difference in level of services I fail to understand where she is getting her information and drawing such a conclusion. Harvey will need to look at all factors when giving opinions to council. The TPRC requires clear factual information from the emergency services. If they do not have the information, no decisions should be made. I encourage all taxpayers to attend the TPRC public meeting this Tuesday at the Strathcona Paper Centre at 7 p.m., to hopefully hear the facts. Mike Thompson, Greater Napanee

Letter to the Editor
Rural Ratepayers must substantiate claim The Greater Napanee Rural Ratepayers Association purchased an advertisement in your paper (Napanee Beaver, March 17, on page 3) to encourage rural citizens to attend the Tax Policy Review Committee public presentation this Tuesday at the Strathcona Paper Centre at 7 p.m. I also encourage all Napanee citizens, urban and rural, to attend the public presentation to gain an understanding of the options the committee is exploring. When reading the GNRAA
advertisement, I was concerned with the statement: “The long standing rural tax difference was based upon rural policing costs at the time of amalgamation.” As a member of the committee, I can confirm that no such document has been presented to the committee that verifies this claim. If the GNRRA has such a document that confirms this claim, it needs to be presented to the committee prior to the public meeting to ensure validity of the advertisment’s statement so that
the document can be made public and assist with the tax committee’s work. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with all members of the committee. It is my sincere hope that all decisions made as part of the tax committee’s process continue to be unanimous. Let’s unite the town and make Napanee ‘greater’ again. Robert Marriott, Greater Napanee Tax Policy Review Committee member
Letter to the Editor
Post-amalgamation imbalance still exists It has been more than 15 years since the Town of Napanee amalgamated with Richmond, North Fredericksburgh, South Fredericksburgh and Adolphustown Townships. Who were the winners of that exercise that was forced upon us by the provincial government? Without question, it was the former Town of Napanee. Why you ask? Here are a few of the ‘highlights’ of that merger: Municipal property taxes in the old town of Napanee went down a whopping 44.93 per cent. Other than the yearly increases that affect everyone, this has not changed. The municipal taxes in Richmond Ward went up 19.03 per cent, North Fred. Ward went up 50.76 per cent, South Fred. Ward went up 626.8 per cent and Adolphustown Ward went up 158.8 per cent. The old Town of Napanee received approximately $468,000 from the former townships to pay down debt and then be used for whatever purpose the new town found for it. When time came to negotiate a contract with the OPP for the new Town of Greater Napanee, it was identified through statistics of calls for service, available at the time, that the police spent a considerable more amount of time in the old town of Napanee than in the rural areas and therefore, a discount of 32 per cent of
the municipal tax portion was given to rural property owners. It hardly compensates for the huge increases already imposed on the rural folks as seen above. And, being a rural resident, I rarely see a police car on my busy road yet every time I drive into the old town, I usually see one, two, three cruisers. I used to work for the OPP and can attest to the fact that most of the calls for service were in the old Town of Napanee. Now we don’t have those statistics because the municipality did not demand or ask the OPP to continue to record them. Now, every call is attributed to Greater Napanee. All public works positions were moved to the public works buildings in the old town. Snowplowing is one topic that came up recently with the first report from the chairman of the committee to review cost of services. It is suggested that it costs more to remove snow in the rural areas because there are so many more kilometres of roads to plow. I believe that if they reviewed the man-hours used to remove snow in the two areas, they would find that many more hours (and dollars) are spent in the urban area as opposed to rural. The main reason for this is the reduced speeds and number of streets and roads to plow but mostly during the overnight periods when workers and
machinery are brought in to clear away all the snow from the downtown and other affected areas. Check the hours/salaries of the workers and the numbers will be different. It’s costs that everyone wants to know, not distances! Also, public works sweep the edges of rural roads once per year and it’s done daily in the old town of Napanee. Shoulders and ditches are cut once per year in most of the rural areas and as you get closer to the old town of Napanee, you can see a big difference in the quality and quantity of grass, shoulder, and ditch cutting. The bottom line here is that, in order to find the costs of services, you must have all the data. This includes statistics from the OPP, hours and salaries paid to employees (as well as equipment used), and all other costs that are spent in the old town of Napanee and not in the surrounding townships. Only then will council be able to make an informed decision regarding taxes. Fair taxes. Taxes that reflect services provided after the unwanted amalgamation. And, just because a service is available does not mean it is being received. Services in rural Napanee have not increased since amalgamation. John Dennis, Greater Napanee
Letter to the Editor
More protection of drinking water needed In the 1980s as a teen, I watched millions of children die on television every night. Every flush of my toilet was cleaner water then what a whole family in another part of the world had to drink for a day. I felt helplessness and shame. This holds true even today. More than 1,000 Canadian communities do not have fresh water to
drink. This shocks and shames me; how can this be? We are in Canada. It is a basic human right to have a clean environment in which to live. One of the most important and responsible things we can do as a country and as humans is to care for, guard, protect, and respect is the water on the ground and under. Do you realize we are the only G8
country without legally enforceable drinking quality water? Each and everyone of us is responsible for this. All our voices together can protect all of our water. We can stand up together as Canadians and show our government how important a clean, sustainable environment is. We need strong federal-level protection for every living creature. Water
is life. It’s time for the federal government to implement the right to clean water in Canada by passing an environmental bill of rights that respects, protects and fulfils our right to a healthy environment, including the right to clean water.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago March 23, 1966
n At the grand opening of H.H. Langford Public School in North Fredericksburgh Township, speakers took time to remember the man after whom the school was named. H.H. Langford had been inspector for schools in L&A County when he died suddenly less than a year before the school was built. “He was a man who was intensely interested in getting things done — the right things,” said Dr. H.E. Elborn, a longtime friend of Langford. “But this serious intensity was accompanied by a quick sense of humour and a gallant courtesy.” n The newly-opened Lennox and Addington County General Hospital admitted its first patient. Napanee resident Robert McFarlane became the hospital’s first-ever patient when the 74-year-old was admitted to the medical ward on A-wing of the facility. McFarlane was the first, but certainly not the last, patient to arrive at the hospital in those early days. Six other patients were expected to be admitted later that same day, and another five were expected to arrive the following day.
30 Years Ago March 26, 1986
n As the Lennox and Addington County School Board and its striking secondary teachers were trying to hammer out a new contract, the teachers were taking issue with a letter from the board sent out to parents. In the letter, the board said it had received calls from parents “who were distressed that their children were being verbally harassed and intimidated by teachers picketing the school entrances.” The board also said it could be forced to close the schools completely. The board had just tabled a new contract offer for teachers as the letter went out. “It’s interesting to note that at the same time the board’s trying to make a deal it has put out this letter,” said local teachers union president Pamela Dodd. n Despite the fact that 500 copies of an unidentified female’s dental records had been distributed throughout Ontario and Quebec, the Napanee OPP were still no closer to solving the mystery behind the woman’s death. The young woman’s body had been found near Newburgh in 1984.Police believe the body could have been there for as long as a year before it was discovered. Searches of missing persons records in Canada and the U.S. turned up no clues.

‘Bike friendly’ workshop planned
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
R0 013211837
In an effort to make Greater Napanee a more bikefriendly community, an information session is being held next Thursday to generate ideas and plan for the future. Two years ago council formed a committee to improve active transportation in Greater Napanee.
The decision was made after council received a deputation regarding the benefits of biking in small communities. Since then, the Greater Napanee Rides and Strides Committee has been formed and will host a Bike Friendly Workshop this coming Thursday at the Strathcona Paper Centre to garner interest and information on healthy transportation in Greater Napanee. The event is being referred to as a
“community café” workshop, with the goal of starting a conversation with community members, business owners and committee members regarding how to move forward to make Napanee more bike and walk friendly. “We want to be more aware of biking but not just biking but bike safety and walking and local trails; the whole idea is physical activity. We’re trying to encourage kids to walk to school if possible, bike to school if it’s possible to be done safely,” said Marg Isbester, Greater Napanee Rides and Strides Committee members and Deputy Mayor for the Town of Greater Napanee. The event is being held
in partnership with the GNRS Committee, the Town of Greater Napanee, the Lennox and Addington County, and the Share the Road Cycling Coalition, which is a provincial cycling advocacy organization. According to a press release provided by the GNRS committee, cycling can greatly improve quality of life in rural and small communities. Some of the benefits include “reducing the risk of over 25 chronic diseases,” providing independence and mobility to children, youth, seniors and low-income families without a vehicle. “It brings economic benefits by reducing the social costs of transportation,” and supports local

businesses and tourism, it enhances and increases interaction, and arguably most importantly, “it is emissions-free, making it a powerful action against climate change and air pollution.” Isbester said both the committee and council are brainstorming what the municipality needs to do to better accommodate and promote biking and walking. “It’s an economic development in tourism initiative. L&A County has made great strides in widening our shoulders on so many county roads but we need to have it in town, too,” said Isbester. “When I look at the climate change that’s being brought about from all the dirt, dust and emissions being brought about from cars… It’s a cost saving all the way around and it’s an improvement of quality of life.”
She said changes can’t be made overnight but having a plan in place would help the municipality incorporate changes as other projects are being developed. “We have two big builds coming up; we have Bridge Street and Dundas Street, two major arteries, so what better time to take advantage of this information and make it bike safe. We can’t make all the changes at once but we can work toward them. Just to make us aware of what needs to be done. I believe there is one bike stand in all of downtown Greater Napanee,” said Isbester. The workshop is being held next Thursday at the SPC from 7-9 p.m. free of charge.

John Torres, based out of Kingston, says he’s influenced by a variety of different musical styles.
Kingston musician featured at L&A show Staff Reporter
Trying to pigeonhole John Torres into a genre of music would be a near impossible task that even he himself would find difficult. The Kingston-based musician, who will play at the Lennox and Addington County Museum’s next live event on March 31, says he takes influences from a wide variety of styles. “I show up with a loop pedal, a 12 string guitar and a microphone,” said Torres. “I’m influenced by a lot of different styles. I love jazz, blues, soul, rock, even some salsa and a lot of Latin stuff. I just try to combine it all into that medium.” His repertoire includes covers as well as his own originals. Through the use of his looping pedal, he’s able to create a harmony of sounds by recording one sound to provide a base and then playing overtop of that recording. “What I love about the
12-string is it’s such a full sound, especially the guitar I have,” said Torres. “It’s great for finger picking and it’s got a great strum, it’s got that full 12-string lush. When I over-dub it you almost get like a mandolin sound. I play a slide as well. With a 12-string it gives it a thicker sound.” Though it would be much easier to simply play a backing track while playing live, Torres much prefers to record a loop as he plays live and then mix it in while continuing to play. “My dad always tells me you should just pre-record some of that stuff,” said Torres. “But I love the element of surprise and to improvise in the moment. It’s a lot more challenging, I think it makes it more exciting to do it in front of people. It’s almost like a juggling act. I like that, it’s like a busking kind of vibe to it.” A mainstay on the Kingston music scene, Torres has also travelled across Canada, the U.S. and parts of South America, playing

shows of all sizes. While he feeds off the energy off a large venue, he says he appreciates the intimacy of a smaller setting like the one he’ll play at the L&A Museum and Archives. “I’m influenced by local musicians and stories and stuff you go through meeting people,” Torres says of travelling various countries for shows. “You come home and try to put it together and write songs about it or it influences your style. I think I’ve developed a voice over the years but I’m always adding on to it.” He knows the museum venue quite well, having played as part of the backing band when Mauricio Montecinos played there back in November. Samples of Torres’ music can be found on his Facebook page by searching ‘John Torres’. Tickets for next Thursday’s show are $3 at the door. The performance will get underway at 7 p.m. For more information call 613354-3027.

‘Fedges’ are the focus of next Grassroots Growers presentation
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME
of a fedge, which is a common sight in the U.K. and now gaining popularity in North America. The plants that make up the fedge are up to the gardner, but in a nutshell they will include species that attract pollinators, draw in nitrogen and promote biodiversity. Fellows will discuss the various options and what to include for each particular desired benefit during her presentation. “There’s absolutely no formula to this,” said Fellows. “Anybody could create a fedge and they would create it based on… its purpose. Is it around a community garden? What do the gardeners want? What does the ecology of the
Staff Reporter
A new trend is generating a lot of buzz in the gardening landscape community as Canadians begin to explore the benefits of a ‘fedge’. A hybrid of a fence and a hedge, the fedge is being hailed as a huge asset in the effort to reverse the alarming decline of pollinating insects. Looking to stay ahead of the curse, the Tamworth Erinsville GrassRoots Growers will welcome guest speaker Kim Fellows of Pollination Canada to speak at their next event this coming Wednesday. “They actually have multi-purposes,” Fellows says

land call for? In their fedge I’m trying to mimic the ecosystem.” Among the benefits of a fedge is that they can help ward off pests without the use of chemicals. “The answer was always increase the biodiversity,” Fellows says of controlling crop destroying pests without pesticides. “When you target a so-called pest, like a cucumber bug, if you’re trying to kill it off everywhere you see it, what you’re doing is taking away a food source of another creature that might be a socalled beneficial creature. In my mind pests and beneficial (bugs) are two sides of the same coin. The whole idea of the fedge is we’re creating a habitat where they can live, be sheltered and have food. We’re creating that place for them and they take care of the pest outbreak.” Among the species Fellows includes in her fedge is tallgrass prairie. It was once found all across Ontario but now grows on just one per cent of the province’s surface area. “Those species are really cool because first off they’re native so they’re going to grow well because they’re adapted to these conditions,” said Fellows. “They also have co-evolved with our wild bees and other local native pollinators so the time of emergence will be in the spring to coin-

cide with certain plants it gets its nourishment from.” Tallgrass prairie can also play a role in fighting climate change. “The tallgrass species often have very long roots, therefore making them drought tolerant,” said Fellows. “They also sequester carbon. That’s really important when it comes to climate change.” Perhaps a fedge’s biggest ‘pro’ however is what it could mean for the local bee population. By including the right plants, they can attract a wide variety of bees-not just honey bees-who play a huge role in stimulating crop growth. Scientists have isolated several factors that have led to the decrease in the population of wild bees, pointing to pesticides and a lack of food sources. Their decline could spell big problems for the world at largeFellows says about one third of every bite or sip an average person takes in a day is of food or drink a pollinating insect played a role in creating. She’ll go into much greater detail of the fedge’s benefits, as well as how to get them started during her presentation. The talk, which is free of charge, will be held at Erinsville’s St. Patrick School, located at 6041 on Hwy. 41. A seed exchange will follow the presentation.

Ambre McLean headlines next StarStop show BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Tonight singer/songwriter Ambre McLean will take the stage in Napanee to perform songs from her new triple record, Me, My Heart, and The Moon — one of which was written for a family in Napanee. McLean has been performing professionally for over two decades and is no stranger to Napanee. The Kitchener performer connected with Ken Allen, from Napanee, years ago who has helped McLean to book a number of local shows. Since then McLean and Allen have become friends and after learning Allen lost his daughter, Taylor, at the age of 16 to a generic heart disease, McLean decided to write a song the Allen family. Taylor died from arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) on April 26, 2008, which prompted McLean’s song called, ‘Posters’. “He did a lot of booking for me in my early days when I was coming through Napanee. I didn’t know anything about him at the time but he wouldn’t take any money… I looked on his Facebook one day and real-
ized he had lost a daughter and this was something he was struggling with and I had no idea. So I wrote him a private message and said, ‘I’m so sorry, I had no idea. Is there anything I could ever do for you?’ And he wrote me back and said, ‘Would you write her a song?’” McLean said. It took McLean some time to write the song, since she never met Taylor and didn’t even know Allen that well at that time but the song is now complete and can be heard her album, My Heart the second of her triple record. McLean is currently touring to promote her triple record, which she says shows three different sides to who she is. Each album has its own feel, or theme; all different genres of McLean’s original music. “I’ve been writing in different styles for so long… I love so many different types of music. I was contemplating putting out this really wild, all-over-the-map record but then I just decided to compartmentalize it,”
AMBRE McLEAN
she said. Between piano, guitar, mandolin and looping, McLean’s music ranged from jazz, blues, country, folk, pop and everything in between. Her first album, Me, is upbeat and pop based, whereas My Heart is lighter and filled with more meaningful songs, many of which are dedicated to certain people. The Moon is a compilation of McLean’s music done on piano as well
as some looping. She says that album is “a bit more out of the box” than the other two. “Me, My Heart, and The Moon highlights different facets of my musical taste,” said McLean. “There are different musical moods for each album. If you want something for a dinner party and you want something a little lighter, My Heart would probably be the one for that. If you’re out for a Sunday drive and you want something with a little pump in it you might listen to Me. It’s all me, it’s all coming from the same place, but they’re just flavoured for different people.” The first of the triple album, Me, has already been released and McLean expects the other two albums to be released within a year. However, music from all three albums will be performed at tonight’s show. McLean said music has always been an important part of her life and thanks her parents for giving her a wide variety of musical
taste to work with. “I was born into this, definitely. My parents are both musicians and I was the only kid that had their parents say, ‘Don’t go to university; join a band, tour the country, tour the world.’ They would rather see me dive into this life of musical creativity,” said McLean. “My dad was kind of a rock star and my mom was kind of a folk star, so I fell somewhere in between.” Becoming a musician was a “natural” fit for McLean, who began playing piano at the age of three and wrote her first song by the age of eight. McLean’s favourite instrument as of late has been her looper, which she started experimenting with a few years ago after she
injured her hand and couldn’t play guitar or piano. “I am more known lately for my looping. I use my looper and I tend to create all the parts of the song in front of the audience. I bring my percussions and I even do a little bit of beat boxing,” said McLean. She said looping keeps the song authentic and unique to each performance. McLean performs tonight in the next instalment of the Starstop Concert Series. She will be performing at Ellena’s Café at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15.00 each and available at Ellena’s Café, Marie’s Place, and online at: website www.starstop.ca.

Your Pets...... Our Privilege
New face, same service at Lyle Hamilton Physio When physiotherapist Lyle Hamilton was ready to retire after 20 years of serving the Napanee community, he wanted make sure his practice would be left in good hands. That's why he turned to Jonathan Daniel, who he had worked with some 10 years earlier during his university placement. The two had kept in close contact over the years and as Hamilton neared retirement both agreed Daniel would be a perfect fit to take over the Napanee practice. Daniel, who holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Master's of Science in Physical Therapy, officially took over Lyle Hamilton Physiotherapy in August of 2014. "I had a clinic in Ottawa that I had just opened but it's not every day you can take over your mentor's practice," said Daniel. "When I mentioned to my wife Kellie about the possibility of moving from where we grew up and where we had been living all our life, I told her it would be to take over Lyle's practice. She was all for it, there was no hesitation." Having been in the com-
munity for so long, Hamilton wanted to make sure he was handing his practice over to someone who would continue to offer the same quality of care his patients had come to expect. In Daniel he says he's found that and more. "The most important thing that this practice has been built on is certain principles, and that those be carried on," said Hamilton. "This is a natural transition." Hamilton says his practice was built on four key components: making everyone feel welcome, making patients feel like they're being listening to, making them walk away feeling like they know what's wrong with them and doing their best for their patients every single day. "If you can, and you're lucky enough, you can pass it off to somebody who is better than you are," Hamilton says of handing over a practice. "That's what's happened." Having been in the community for so long, Hamilton was able to get to know his patients quite well. "That's what I'm trying to keep going," said Daniel. "For me leaving Ottawa,
which is a much bigger centre, the one thing I love here is that family environment and that closeness. Taking the practice over for Lyle, that's something I've been working hard to keep." Daniel's practice includes two other physiotherapists in Daniel Chen and Brittany Church. "We have a female physiotherapist which is great, it creates a great dynamic to the team," added Daniel. "If certain patients are more sensitive to having a male physiotherapist, we have Brittany now and she's fantastic." Operating out of the same office, Daniel is able to offer the exact same amenities while adding some new ones. That includes custom orthotics, custom bracing and being able to treat female urinary incontinence, making them one of the few physiotherapy centres in this area offering that treatment. "We're hoping to continue this on, and continue to develop new things, but mostly to build on what Lyle has put down here," added Daniel. “I didn’t want to break anything down or start anything fresh because the equation was

Staging home can be key to sale I have noticed many real estate ‘For Sale’ signs sprouting up around almost every turn, with spring just beginning, so are real estate sales. Make sure potential buyers are not walking through the front door, only to turn around and back into their car. That is what happens when a front door is opened and buyers are slapped in the face with an odor they considered to be unpleasant. This also happens when a buyer’s eyes see nothing but a chaotic mess as soon as they enter a home. A buyer’s first impression of your home should not be ‘ugh!’ I know many of us have heard it all before that first impressions make a difference, but I thought I would refresh the ideas to make your home appealing if you are considering or already have your home on the market. It really pays to go through a little extra effort to impress buyers when you are trying to sell your home. Studies have shown that it takes buyers only seven seconds to decide whether or not they will buy a home after walking through the front door. That is if they make it to your front door; curb appeal is the first step in selling your home to potential buyers. This is why it is crucial to make a good impression on buyers by staging your home. If you can afford to have a professional come in to stage your home, more power to you. However, not

Design Time everyone has the money, time and energy to do things that are really going to flip their home over to the next buyer quickly. So here are the top ten things you can do yourself to make your home more appealing to buyers. Clear the Clutter: Clutter can be perceived by buyers as indicative of a property being decrepit or not worth much money and can also be associated with decay and the presence of vermin and bugs. Get rid of the ‘stuff’ in the hallways, basement, front and backyard. Coil up the hose; get the kids bikes and skateboards off the lawns and into the garage or storage shed. If you have a birdbath, clean out the leaves. In the kitchen, put the countertop appliances, and vitamins out of sight. Get those dirty dishes out of the sink and into the dish-

washer if you don’t have time to wash them by hand. Also put all dirty clothes in the hamper instead of leaving them in a pile in the kids’ room or laundry room. This is a great time to get rid of all the extra stuff taking up space in your home that you no longer use. You can get rid of it by hauling it to your local thrift store. Get rid of Pet Odors: Many buyers will have a negative opinion of a home f the smell of pets is overwhelming. Be diligent about cleaning out the litter box and tuck it away in an obscure corner somewhere. Pick up dog feces from your front and back yards. If your own birds, clean the bottom of their cages. If your pets have had accidents on the carpet, that odor lingers on. Consider have your carpets steam cleaned to remove the odor. You may not notice the odor anymore as we all get accustomed the smell of our homes, but buyers may as they walk in. If it’s not possible to relocate your pets on preview days, consider housing them in crates. Hide Evidence of Kids: Get rid of any toys that may be lying around the house, yard, and front porch. Get rid of baby gates and remove all hand prints and crayon drawings on walls — even if you consider it a masterpiece. Clean Up the Front Yard and Porch: The front yard and porch are the first things a buyer will see when they approach your home. Your front porch, back deck and patio should have no toys or miscellaneous ‘stuff’ on it. Keep your lawn mowed and bushes trimmed. If your lawn has bare spots, throw down some seed. Remove dead bushes and trees. It doesn’t hurt to spruce up the front door with a fresh coat of paint and new house numbers. Plant some flowers in bold, striking colours, or hang a couple of hanging baskets. Replace Sunken Paving Stones: The path to your front door and driveway are important. Sunken paving stones or missing rocks don’t leave a good impression. Purchase new stones, level them and redo those pathways. Paint Rooms that Need It: Sometimes all you need to do is wash the walls of a room to get rid of dirt, but there are times when nothing will do the trick like a fresh coat of paint. Light, neutral paint colours will not only brighten up a room, but also make it appear larger in size.

Luc Brown was a man with a plan entering his fourth season in the Ontario Junior Hockey League. The Napanee native had shown glimmers of brilliance during his three previous seasons in a Wellington Dukes uniform but could never seem to put all the pieces together to become an elite force in the Junior A ranks. But an offseason spent on the ice and in the gym under the guidance of former Belleville Bull standout and veteran pro hockey player Randy Rowe put Brown onto the path to somewhere special in 201516 and its mission accomplished for the 19 year-old as he was named the OJHL’s Most Improved Player. Brown potted 42 goals this season, nearly tripling his previous career high of 16 in 2014-15. The Union College commit also easily set a career high in points with 91 and came within a hair of tying Chris Auger’s franchise record of 92 set back in 2005-06. “It’s a huge honour and looking back to the end of last season, I knew I had a little more in me to give and that I could take on a bigger role and set an example,” Brown told the Picton Gazette this week. In the gym and on the ice, Rowe’s tutelage has led Brown to be among the best Junior A players in the province. “It was a big summer,” Brown said. “Both Randy and (Dukes Coach and General Manager) Marty (Abrams) have done so much to help me develop into a hockey player.” It wasn’t just one aspect of his game that went under the microscope for refinement, he added. Skating, learning how to
effectively shoot in stride and other seemingly small adjustments to both preparation and in-game competition made for a dynamic player not seen in the Wellington lineup since another former Quinte Red Devil product broke the 50 goal mark for Wellington back in 2011-12. Dukes grad Darcy Murphy won the OJHL’s most improved award that season and Brown said it was an honour to follow in the Shannonville natives foot steps. “Anytime you are following in Murph’s path it’s not a bad thing,” Brown said. “He’s a heck of a hockey player and as much success as he has had at the NCAA level, I would be very happy to have that kind of success,” Brown added. Brown was the OJHL Player of the Month twice (December, January) and runner up once (September) and admitted it was hard to imagine winning all kinds of laurels from the league from the outset of the campaign. “You set goals and hope they are in reach but this season I kind of went above and beyond,” he added. In terms of the club’s current performance in the 2016 OJHL playoffs, Brown has been thrilled to this point. While the franchise has had a number of lengthy post season runs in its history, this marks the first time Wellington has made it to the second round with Brown in a Dukes uniform. “It was an unreal feeling when we beat Aurora because after four years of going out in the first round there was some doubt but now we feel like we can keep it going and if we can get past Trenton we can go on a run,” Brown said. “They are a great team but we also know we can beat them.” The Dukes took on Trenton last night, trailing 2-1.
SMART | Set to return next season CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 With the right mix of hold overs from their previous championship and new faces, the Ravens quickly established themselves as a contending team early in the regular season. Under Smart’s guidance they finished his first season as bench boss with a 16-3 record heading into the playoffs. Though he proved to be up to the task, Smart said it was helpful to have his uncle to bounce some ideas off of as they went through the season.
“(Dave) did a lot in terms of helping players and our coaches, just with the mental side and little things he’s learned,” Smart said of his uncle. “I think a lot of times through tough losses he’s had to learn some things. I’ve worked really close with him, he was great at giving us some advice and letting us figure out some things on our own.” The junior Smart says he’ll be back on his uncle’s coaching staff for next season as they look to extend their streak to seven.

BETTY MADIGAN Called Home to be with her Lord April 4, 2014
I Have Fought A Good Fight I have fought a good fight from the start to the end, The enemy was relentless, but I had a Good Friend. At times it was overwhelming for me, But my Good Friend was strong and He strengthened me. The battle was long, but I made my stand And in my weakness, He held up my hands. Others looked on and said, “How can this be?” But my Good Friend was steadfast in standing with me. As the day was approaching for me to rest I praised my Good Friend Jesus, He is the best. Now I have finished my fight and put my hands down My Best Friend has called me to receive a victors crown.
Forever loved by your husband, Allen, sons Daryl (Wendy), Daren (Lori), grandson Matthew, nieces Janna and Carla and your four brothers and families

I’m saying that we asked for those three things and I’d like to have it,” said Harvey. “I don’t think it has to be done with the whole two or three year plan.” Though almost every member of council had a different idea of what should be done with the property, almost all members of council agreed that a decision should be made as soon as possible. “I think we need direction sooner than later. I am not convinced that we should let it sit for three years. It would be in even worse condition and cost more to fix it up,” said Ward 5 Councillor Shaune Lucas. “If we don’t do something there won’t be

a building to save in three years and if we do save it it’s going to be three times the cost. Unfortunately, this is a situation that has to be dealt with now,” he said, adding he would like a decision made within two months time. Deputy Mayor Marg Isbester agreed that a decision to either save, demolish or move the building should be made soon; however, what to do with the building if it is saved may need to wait for a strategic plan. She said the municipality doesn’t have a strong tourism plan in place, so jumping the gun to make the building a tourist centre without a plan in place may not benefit the town. “I don’t want to see it sit there either but I also don’t want to jump and say it’s going to be a tourist building.

Lucas said the report is only to deal with keeping or saving the building and that what the building could, or should, be designated for would be discussed at a later time. Mayor Gord Schermerhorn said council can go over the report next meeting; however, he reminded council that previously the building was declared not worth saving. “I just remind council that when this all started we had somebody go through it and they said there was a lot of problems with that house, so it would cost a lot of money to fix it,” said Schermerhorn.

nose, people are more likely to buy it. There’s a reason why real estate agents bake cookies in the oven for open houses. The scent fills the air as potential buyers enter into the home and it gives the home a homier feel. You may not have the time or inclination to bake cookies; you can also purchase aromatherapy candles, or purchase candles with scents like cinnamon, vanilla and apple pie to mimic the smells of baking. Just make sure to not go too heavy with the scent, as too strong of a scent can be offputting as well. Now with these top ten tips to help you make your home more appealing to buyers, you are one step closer to getting your house sold.

Tough topics for teens ELIEVE it or not, there is more to Young Adult literature than dystopian novels destined to be big screen blockbusters. One of the main themes of Young Adult literature is characters that must situate themselves in the world as they search for a sense of identity. Sensitive, stigmatizing issues facing many teens such as sexuality and mental illness can further complicate or dislodge a person’s sense of self. Engaging YA books that show characters wrestling with their sense of identity can help affected readers square themselves with the idea that they are not alone, as well as develop empathy and reduce stigma in all readers. For example, YA novels, in particular, have a unique opportunity to create realistic representations of people living with mental illness. It’s Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini follows an

ambitious teenager named Craig who is on the fast track to success. The pressure to be the best and the brightest soon becomes unbearable and he stops eating, sleeping and eventually attempts suicide. This episode gets him checked into a mental Coles’ hospital where he eventually discovers ways to cope with his anxiety and depression. Vizzini unfortunately experienced his character’s struggles first-hand and committed suicide in 2013. Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella portrays mental illness with a bit of a lighter treatment. It follows 14-year-old Audrey’s battle and eventual triumph over her anxiety disorder. Winner of the 2015 Goodreads Choice Awards for YA, All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven follows
Theodore Finch, a boy about to succumb to his severe depression and Violet, a girl grieving the death of her sister. When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, they form an unlikely relationship but their struggles are Notes certainly far from over. For every mental illness suffered, there is no doubt a YA book that provides a thoughtful treatment of it. The same goes for issues of sexuality — YA writers in recent years have done a tremendous job providing a very diverse selection of books portraying the experiences of individuals from all across the GLTBQ spectrum. More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera follows 16year-old Aaron who is struggling to find happiness in the months after his father’s suicide. With the support of

his girlfriend Genevieve and his overworked mom, he’s slowly remembering what that might feel like. When Genevieve leaves the city to spend a few weeks at an artist’s retreat, Aaron begins to spend all his time hanging out with a new friend named Thomas. Aaron initially tries to deny how Thomas makes him feel but he soon begins to question his sexuality. Things are not exactly how they may seem, however. Another interesting YA book that deals with issues of sexuality is None of the Above, which follows a teenage girl who has her life turned upside down with a diagnosis that she is intersex; that is, she appears female but has male chromosomes. This, of course, leads her to question what it is to be male or female. These are just a few examples of YA books that have tackled sensitive top-

treats, movie nights, and other church-sponsored events. • Work at a school. Schools also serve as hubs of community activity. Volunteer or work for a local school and you will soon find yourself immersed in your community’s weekday hustle and bustle. This is a great way to meet people and learn more about your new neighborhood in the process. • Host your own party. Go out on a limb and plan a “new to the neighbourhood” party. Put invitations in neighbours’ mailboxes and invite everyone over for snacks and cocktails. Remember, neighbors may be just as nervous about new faces as you are, and a party is a great way to break the ice. Change can be hard for people seniors starting out in new communities. With some gumption and a few strategies to get started, anyone can expand their circle of friends.

MCC – Downsizing and other life changes often find seniors leaving their comfort zones to move to new neighboorhoods or regions of the country. It can be difficult to leave those comfort zones behind, especially when it means saying goodbye to close friends or family members. Establishing new social circles as a senior can be challenging. But with a little effort and the right attitude, seniors can meet new people and enjoy the excitement that comes with new friendships. • Join a club. If you have a particular hobby or interest, rekindle it in your new location. Find a local gardening club, church-sponsored organization or fitness centre where you can meet like-minded men and women. Ask the real estate agent who helped you relocate to make suggestions on where to find community information and read community notices in the local newspaper. • Get a dog. Dogs make great companions inside of the house and also serve as an ice breaker when you are outdoors. Take plenty of walks and take advantage of opportunities for conversation when people come up to you to inquire about your dog. Explain your situation and you may make some new friends along the way. • Volunteer your time. Many people make new friends through volunteering. Volunteer and you’re likely to meet people who share the same interests as you. Sign up with a favourite charity or volunteer at nonprofit events and look for familiar faces. Start talking to those people you meet again and again. • Participate in church events. Places of religious worship are often cornerstones of a community, and they frequently host different events to get parishioners or members together.
