Former Stone Mills councillor pleads guilty to fraud
BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter
INANCIAL advisor and former member of Stone Mills council Kevin Wagar pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud over $5,000 in Napanee court on Tuesday and will face sentencing in May. At the request of Justice Wolf Tausendfreund, Crown attorney Monica Heine offered a short summary of the facts she’ll provide at the May 27 sentencing.
F
Citing e-mail correspondence and victim statements, Heine revealed that Wagar was accused of defrauding an 81-year-old widow of $568,000 and another family of $231,600. Both complainants first gave money to Wagar to invest when he was a financial advisory with Royal Bank of Canada about seven years ago. Both followed him when he moved to Edward Jones and to Wagar Financial Group, his own company of which he was the only employee. Dur-
ing that time period Wagar was to invest the money his clients gave him into guaranteed income accounts and would pay interest to his clients. The charges stem from the time period when Wagar was operating under his own financial group. While with the first two companies the victims agree that Wagar would provide them with official bank statements and keep them updated on their investments and was paying returns. It wasn’t until 2014 that both victims said

they started to receive bounced cheques and only promises of future payments, never actual returns. The second family became suspicious when their two-year investment should have matured. In their statement, they said that when they asked for their money, they were offered cheques by Wagar but were told not to cash them because they would bounce. That’s when they went to the Napanee OPP. The first victim, a resident of Kingston, alerted
the police when she grew impatient waiting for promised returns that never materialized. When read the details of the Crown’s case, Wagar’s lawyer Brian Callender offered no comment. When the judge asked if there were any reason the court should not enter a guilty verdict, Wagar’s lawyer offered none. Heine said the evidence she provided at Tuesday’s appearance was just a small summary of what she plans to submit at the sentencing
trial. She promised a detailed chart showing dates of when money was given to Wagar and when the victims say their returns stopped. Victim impact statements and detailed e-mail correspondence will also be read into the record. A report from Wagar’s parole officer will also be submitted. He is currently on parole for an unrelated matter to the fraud charges. Wagar is scheduled to be sentenced on the charges on May 27 in Napanee.
County passes 2016 budget, 2.2 per cent increase
BY SETH DUCHENE Editor
Ratepayers in Lennox and Addington County will be asked to pay a bit more for county services in 2016. At its regular meeting last Wednesday night, L&A County council approved its budget estimates and set its tax rate for the year, complete with a 2.2 per cent increase over last year’s levy. According to L&A County, most of additional revenue generated by the tax increase is earmarked for funding capital improvements to the county’s arterial road and bridge network. Council passed the budget in its first meeting since the death of Warden Clarence Kennedy. Kennedy, who was also reeve of Stone Mills Township, passed away on
March 13 after a brief battle with cancer. Although county council has yet to officially fill the vacancy left by Kennedy’s passing, past warden Gord Schermerhorn chaired the council meeting. The budget, tax rate and accompanying bylaws were passed unanimously by council. For the average property in the county, the tax increase will mean an additional $23.97 in taxes over 2015’s tax rate. “County council and staff have strived to develop a budget which maintains a high level of services while being sensitive to the impact on county taxpayers,” Schermerhorn said after the meeting. “I’m very pleased that we have been able to continue to invest in our roads and bridges infrastructure and to provide for future enhancements to our emergency medical services.” The budget, totalling $68.5 million, is heavy on various capital repairs and improvements. Among them
are $10.1 million in capital improvement’s to the county’s roads and bridges system. Some of the planned projects include rehabilitation and repairs to County Roads 1, 4, 16, 22 and 23. The county will receive $1.3 million in federal gas tax funds to help fund these projects. Another $525,000 has been set aside for capital repairs, equipment and furnishing for the John M. Parrott Centre. Council also earmarked $355,000 as an “initial contribution towards future enhancements to emergency medical services, as determined by council.” Some $175,000 has been set aside to fund the county’s ongoing contribution to “community health care projects” with funding for Pine Meadow Nursing Home in Northbrook, the L&A County General Hospital and the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation. Another $20,000 was designated for L&A Seniors Outreach Services to help that agency provide programs for seniors.

Bell Mobility seeks new licensing agreement Company looks to boost capacity, improve service with proposed upgrades
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Bell Mobility proposed a licensing agreement to Greater Napanee council to improve wireless connectivity now that wireless connections through mobile phones, tablets and laptops are becoming the norm. Adam Fulford, Field Services Director of CanAcre Ltd. speaking on behalf of Bell, said there is a need for more wireless capacity in Greater Napanee in order to accommodate the increased use of electronic devices. “This is network capacity, not coverage. The difference in network capacity is that if a capacity is overloaded, meaning there are so many users and only so many servers supplying to those users, then it will be over capacity,” Fulford explained to council last Tuesday during a regular council meeting. “If you have, say 1,000 people trying to access one site that only has a capacity to accommodate 500, then nobody accesses that network. You will see full bars because you’re in a coverage area; however, you wouldn’t have any accessibility to that site,” Fulford said. When a network is over capacity, users are unable to
upload or download data via the wireless connection. This also causes delays in receiving emails and text messages. Fulford proposed a small cell wireless network for Greater Napanee, which means small boxes would be installed on hydro poles and/or buildings to supply more wireless capacity. In larger areas tower and rooftop proposals are needed, but something of that size isn’t necessary for Greater Napanee. “What we’re purposing here is that we service the needs of the municipality to improve the capacity to meet the needs, the existing or coming demand of the community, while at the same time providing Bell Mobility to customers with wireless services,” Fulford said. Fulford said Bell is looking for the municipality to review the licensing agreement and provide feedback in order to make the arrangement work for both parties. “What we’re looking for is for council to direct town staff and solicitors to review the proposal, to review the language in the agreement, to determine any costs that may be associated on behalf of the municipality,” said Fulford. Members of council said it wanted time to review the
policy and also give other wireless companies the opportunity to come forward. Fulford said they are not “asking any kind of exclusive service to Bell” and that “any other services can come in this area in the future.” The agreement would not cost the municipality any capital funds. Bell would pay the municipality a one-time application fee of $500 per facility, as well as an annual fee determined between the municipality and Bell. “Bell covenants and agrees to pay any and all fees associated with any permits that Bell is required to obtain by law in connection with any work. Furthermore, Bell covenants and agrees to pay the fees and charges set out in Schedule B with respect to the hydro consumption of the equipment,” the proposed licensing agreement states. The full agreement can be viewed online on the Greater Napanee website, under archived regular council meetings. Council moved to accept Fulford’s presentation and provide the licensing agreement to the municipality’s staff and legal department. Council will follow up with the proposal at a later time with staff and legal recommendations.

David Archibald hopes to entertain and educate with his environmentallythemed ‘Green Street’ show this Saturday in Napanee.
Newburgh musician ‘going green’ with Museum Kids concert BY REBA PENNELL
Special to the Beaver PRIL is ‘Earth Awareness Month’ and the Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives is holding a special event in honour of their monthly feature ‘Museum Kids.’ This Saturday at 10 a.m., David Archibald will be hosting the event known as ‘Green Street’. The show will focus on concerns about the environment today. Archibald says he will be teaching kids the importance of the three R’s, reduce, reuse and recycle. He will also be talking about endangered species and much more. Archibald hopes that, while the show has an education component, the main purpose is to entertain. “If I am singing about endangered species, like the fabulous stink pot turtle, I will talk about the habitats,” said Archibald. Archibald has been in the business for over 20
A
years now and manages to keep everything fresh. He gives credit to the audiences that he has played in front of over the years. “I get ideas from some of the audience. You are never going to get the same idea from two different audiences,” said Archibald. The event will play to Archibald’s strength, which is what most of his workshops are based on: songwriting. There will be a lot of songs in the event, all focusing on something to do with the ecosystem. There is also going to be a giant jigsaw puzzle for the audience to enjoy. Archibald is a known figure in the Greater Napanee Area, as well as all over North America. He has performed on Sesame Street in New York and CBC’s Mr. Dress-up. He has also been known for helping kickstart singer Avril Lavigne’s career. His love for music came at a young age and Archibald says he’s glad that he has been able to make a living out of it.
“My older brother had a guitar lying around the house when I was in Grade 7 or 8 and I loved it,” said Archibald. Not only does he have these accomplishments under his belt but Archibald has also been involved with schools across the province; when he is not doing any theater work he tours around provincial parks in the summer. In the meantime, Archibald is working on two CDs, one is a jazz CD and the other one is more of a ‘singer-songwriter’ CD, according to Archibald. He will also be musical director of a show at the Thousand Islands Playhouse in Gananoque. This fall, he will be heading to the Persephone Theatre in Saskatoon to be musical director of a show called Dear Johnny Deere. The ‘Green Street’ event is free for everyone. The Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives is located at 97 Thomas Street East in Napanee.

Elusive justice? The trial and, ultimately, the acquittal of Jian Ghomeshi on sexual assault charges last week created no small measure of controversy. We don’t think that controversy is going to die down anytime soon. Because of the fact Ghomeshi was a widelyknown public figure, there was a great deal of interest in the case; the rather salacious nature of the charges against him contributed to the public attention. As such, nearly everyone has an opinion on the charges, the trial and the outcome. Because of the notoriety of the case, it shone a spotlight on the inherent difficulties surrounding sexual assault cases. Indeed, for some, the Ghomeshi trial showed that the justice system is failing the victims of sexual assault. For many, the trial’s outcome seemingly confirmed the fears of those who are reluctant to come forward and alert authorities. That is, after all, what the victims of sexual assault are urged to do: tell someone. The fear of coming forward, however, is completely understandable: why would anyone want to step forward, subject themselves to re-living the incident and a grilling from lawyers, only to watch the accused walk free? Indeed, it’s said that the vast majority of sexual assaults go unreported for exactly this reason. But if that’s the problem, what’s the solution? That’s where things get very tricky. In almost all of these kinds of cases, witnesses to the events in question are very hard to come by. Corroboration is difficult. That’s a problem without a solution, unless advancements are made in terms of forensics, where the truth of the events in question can be flushed out through science. We also must presume the accused to be innocent until proven guilty. In the court of public opinion, Ghomeshi certainly wasn’t afforded that, but in an actual court of law, that right was (and had to be) respected. We don’t imagine that anyone wants to see the justice system abandon that bedrock legal principle. Further, the accused doesn’t have — and truly shouldn’t have to — take the stand. In an interview this week with CBC, Ghomeshi’s lawyer Marie Henein put it well: “The legal system is premised on our fundamental belief that if you are going to a accuse me of a crime, you will have to prove it.” Simply put, in the Ghomeshi case, the Crown failed to prove to the judge, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the accused committed the crimes he was accused of committing. The complainants in the case gave — to put it politely — problematic testimony. In reading the full judgement, it’s difficult to argue that the judge got it wrong — he made the only ruling he could based on the evidence placed in front of him. For those who think Ghomeshi avoided justice in this case, that’s cold comfort — but that’s the way our systems works. If there’s a ‘fix’, we have to assume that the system is broken. That’s a big assumption. But even if we do accept that assumption, what’s the remedy? That’s a good question.

The best books of 2016… so far Believe it or not, we are already a quarter of the way through 2016. So far it has been a fantastic year for fiction. Though highly-anticipated releases from established authors such as Don DeLillo, Mark Haddon, Annie Proulx and Louise Erdrich remain on the horizon, 2016 has already produced enough great books to keep a reader busy for the rest of the year. According to me and my personal preferences, the following are the three “best” 2016 novels I’ve read so far this year. 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl by Mona Awad is 13 stories about Lizzie, a girl growing up in Mississauga (‘Misery Saga’ as she calls it). Lizzie is overweight and desperate to fit in. As a result, she spends her teenage years and young adulthood embarking upon all kinds of unadvisable relationships and diets to shed her self-image. It is funny in a dry, dark way and also a bit sad. It reminded me a bit of She Comes Undone by Wally Lamb in that the central character is repulsive and self-destructive but also loveable and worthy of the reader’s compassion. The High Mountains of Portugal is the highly anticipated new release by Yann
Martel, author of Life of Pi. While touted as a novel, it is technically three tenuously connected stories that move through time. The first is about a man in Lisbon circa 1904, who travels in one of
Catherine Coles Coles’ Notes
Teo immediately becomes obsessed with. When she ultimately rejects him after discovering he had been stalking her, Teo kidnaps Clarice and they set off on a twisted journey across Brazil. Through it all, Teo is certain that time is all he needs to prove to Clarice that they are made for each other. However, as the journey progresses, he digs himself deeper into a pit that he can’t get out of, stopping at nothing to ensure that no one gets in the way of their life together. This book is the English-language debut of one of Brazil’s most celebrated young writers, Raphael Montes. While it has been compared to The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith, it has unusual hints of satire that definitely make it one of a kind. I would suggest it only to those readers who have a relatively high threshold for creepy characters and a bit of gruesomeness. These three titles can be borrowed from your branch of the County of Lennox & Addington Libraries. Reserve them at your local branch or online at www.countylibrary.ca.
Europe’s earliest automobiles on a quest to discover a long-lost artifact. The second is about a pathologist about to embark upon a very unusual autopsy. The third is about a modern-day Canadian senator who decides to adopt a chimpanzee and move to his ancestral home of Portugal following the death of his wife. In typical Yann Martel fashion, this book is full of animals, bizarre characters and magical realism. Perfect Days should come with a disclaimer because it’s pretty pink cover tells nothing of not-sopretty story inside. This tense, somewhat literary psychological thriller follows a young medical student named Teo. He is a loner who lives with his Catherine Coles is the paraplegic mother in Rio de Janeiro. One day he meets a Manager of Library Services writer named Clarice, who for L&A County.

Tips for hanging wall art The one thing I do notice in any home or business, no matter how much I try not to, is the placement of wall art. It’s just one of my pet peeves if it is hung incorrectly and one of the ‘design sins.’ A little decorating sin is not the end of the world and your decision about home décor is subjective and I’m not one to throw the invisible Rule Book at anyone. Even when I’m visiting a home, I can’t help myself with this issue. I have been caught leveling off a frame that is crooked at a few friends’ homes. Maybe a little OCD? It’s a problem that can be fixed/avoided with a few simple rules. The first mistake that I see is: too high art placement. The confusing suggestion is that you should hang your art at eye level. Whose eye level, though? Those who know me know I’m quite tall, and my eye level is not the same as the majority of my friends or family. So how do we follow this rule? The general guideline is to hang your art at 57 inches on center from the floor. In the museum and gallery industry, pieces are hung at this 57-inch line. So if the world’s finest art is being hung at this eye level of 57 inches, then it should give us something to abide by at home. Use this rule as a guideline to hanging your artwork with these helpful tips. Different situations require the right artwork or position. When hanging artwork in living rooms, people are usually sitting, so artwork should be lower. A good way to ensure you’re placing artwork at the right height is to hang it one hand above the sofa. Also ensure that your art-

and shelves all work together. Above a mantel or fireplace is the perfect place to layer pieces. A house looks like a home when you can see layers of artwork and accessories. Prop artwork up against a wall or piece of furniture such as a sofa table for a casual display. Make sure your arrangement matches your decorating style. Symmetrical arrangements are more traditional or formal. Asymmetrical is modern. Look at the image and style of frames. For cottage-style rooms, stick with vintage images or botanicals. In modern rooms, choose large and abstract pieces. Save yourself the frustration and your walls the trauma of hanging and rehanging, and rehanging a grouping of art. Instead trace each piece on kraft paper, label the tracing, and cut it out. If your hanging portraits, draw arrows on the paper to indicate which way the subject is looking. Use painter’s tape to try out placements and arrangements without covering your walls with holes. Wall-hung artwork should relate to what’s happening in the room. Position and scale can do injustice to a stunning painting, and to the entire room. With these key tips, you can feel comfortable making the right decision on displaying your wall art correctly.

n Norris Whitney, Member of the Legislative Assembly for Prince Edward-Lennox, spoke on the floor of the Ontario legislature, arguing for an increase the bounty paid on wolves killed in the province. Whitney was responding to comments made by a Sudbury MLA who complained that American hunters with the newest, most effective guns had an unfair advantage over the animals. Whitney argued that wolves were having a negative economic impact on his riding through livestock losses and that, instead of curbing the hunting of wolves, the bounty on them should be increased. n Local coroner Dr. Brant E. Bergstrome announced that he’d be calling an inquest into the deaths of two Sandhurst men the previous December. One man, a 27-year-old, died in hospital due to head injuries. The same day, his neighbour, a 30-year-old man, was found dead in his car seven or eight miles away from his home. The crime laboratory in Toronto was also investigating the two deaths; findings from their work were pending.
30 Years Ago April 2, 1986
n Fear of a prolonged teachers strike in Lennox and Addington County proved to be unfounded. Secondary schools in the county had reopened and teachers were prepared to vote on a new collective bargaining agreement reached with the L&A County Board of Education. The strike had lasted 10 days before the two sides came together on a new deal The main issue of contention between the teachers and the school board was reported to be a ‘just cause’ provision that the teachers wanted to see included in the contract. n Napanee police statistics showed that the town force laid 15 per cent more Criminal Code charges than the year before. At the same time, Highway Traffic Act charges were down more than 100 per cent, 412 charges to 186. Chief Peter Cruji said that the swing in charges was a reflection of a change in priorities for officers on the force. “We just spent more time on criminal investigations,” he said. “Criminal investigations were top priority so the officers spent a great deal more time on them than they did on traffic.” As well, Liquor License Act charges were down, but narcotics offenses were up.

As spring cleaning season rolls in, the Napanee Salvation Army is asking anyone getting rid of electronics to consider donating them instead. Starting on April 18, the Salvation army will be accepting old computers, printers, televisions, cellphones and the like. They will take that material to Ontario Electronic Stewardship, which pays cash for recycled electronics. They’ll be accepting the donations on April 18, 20, 21 and 22 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on April 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 135 Mill St. “We try to do it close to Earth Day, which is on the Friday (April 22),” said Dana Henry, community and family services co-ordinator for the Napanee Salvation Army. “It’s recycling and then we get the funds
out of it.” The program is ideal in that it doesn’t cost anything to drop off the unwanted electronics, it’s good for the environment and it generates income for the Salvation Army. “In turn we get some funds for some of our programs,” added Henry. Anyone interested in volunteering some time to help collect the donations on April 23 can call the Salvation Army at 613-354-7633. Henry cautions that any donations must be electronics; otherwise they are no good to them. If anyone has any questions as to whether or not their items are acceptable they can call ahead to save them having to bring it all the way down to the drop off location. Henry also strongly recommends anyone dropping off a computer or cellphone that they clear their hard drive of any personal information or photos.

The Abrams to headline L&A SOS fundraiser
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter
Local country-music performers, The Abrams, will be taking the stage in Napanee next month at a show to benefit programs for local seniors. John and James Abram make up The Abrams, a fourth-generation duo based out of Kingston. They started out performing with their family in the genres of bluegrass, gospel, and old country, but have recently branched out to become country artists. They will be releasing their first single, ‘Fine’, to country radio tomorrow and their newest album will be released May 20. John Abrams said the inspiration from the album came from small towns, like Napanee, across North America. “The best way to capture the spirit of this album is that we’ve really tried to capture this hope and optimism that we really felt in getting to know these small communities. Small communities have this sense of hope and optimism, even if they’re not going through the greatest time,” he said.
Napanee’s show will be a mixture of where the Abrams have been, where they are and where they’re going. “Where we come from musically is growing up in this rich tradition on bluegrass, gospel, Americana and old country music,” he said. “Our show is a mix of the old stuff that we used to play with our family, some of our new songs, and some of the stuff we did in between.” John Abrams said he and his brother are rooted in strong family ties and music, which are the backbones of what makes them the artists they are today. “It really is in our blood and music was surrounding us when we were children. We still get together with our family on Sunday afternoons and play music and revisit these old time songs and every time we do we really have a chance to reflect how this music has shaped who we really as artists today. We wouldn’t be where we are today without that heritage and history that we have,” said John Abrams. The Abrams will be performing in Napanee on April 27 at Trinity United

Church, with proceeds supporting Lennox and Addington Seniors Outreach Services. Ruth Graham, of L&A SOS, said it’s a show you won’t want to miss. “This will be our first time having the Abrams. We wanted someone local and someone that would really get the crowd going. It’s going to be a memorable event; something to remember and get out and have some fun. I hear the Abrams put on a really lively show so we we’re quite excited,”
said Graham. “It is an important fundraiser for us. All the profits from it will support the programs run by L&A SOS. Our programs enable seniors to remain independent, active and enabling them to stay in their homes,” she said. Some of the programs that proceeds from this event will go toward include: Meals on Wheels, social diners, transportation to doctors appointments, foot care, in-home caregiv-
ing, adult day services, ‘55Plus’ recreation activities and overnight respite care. L&A SOS hopes to launch its newest program, an overnight respite service, later this summer. “One of the things we’re going to be doing in the future is overnight respite to give the caregivers a break for a weekend. It costs a lot of money to do things like that,” said Graham. “And the 55-Plus activities is a very active part of SOS and that’s a lot of
money too to keep that going and to keep our seniors healthier and happier so they’re not ending up in the doctor’s office all the time.” Tickets to the event are $30 each and $10 for children. Advance tickets are available now at Gray’s IDA and SOS. For more information on this event and for SOS services, visit www.lasos.ca.

Founding Gardeners? Our relationship with Americans is complex, but we are influenced by them and close to them in more ways than one. That is why I was fascinated to learn that among the original pack of Revolutionaries, the first four Presidents of the United States enjoyed a relationship that was woven together by a common interest in gardening. Yes, without horticulture, the U.S. may never have come into being. The book Founding Gardeners by Andrea Wulf is a fascinating look into the lives of George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Together they helped to shape a country that would grow into the worlds’ most powerful nation, the principles of which are rooted in horticulture. Here are the top five lessons that I learned about the founding of America: Propagation of a Nation. During the Revolutionary War George Washington gave his Generals orders, “to make regimental gardens in order to produce vegetables for army rations.� He believed it would be healthy and comforting for his men – what we would call ‘therapeutic’. One theme that resonates throughout the book is the ongoing struggle by Americans to remove themselves from the clutches of Britain, both politically and economically. Long after the war was over the new Americans worked hard to become economically independent. Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1780 that, ‘Agriculture is the surest road to affluence and best preservation of morals.’ In other words, farming and gardening provided a path to independence. Sugar Maples=Independence. Imagine the newly hatched nation of the American States (not ‘United’ until after 1783). The Revolutionaries were successful in pushing out the British in 1776 but minimizing their econom-
ic reliance on the Brits was another matter. They controlled virtually all of the sugar supply from the West Indies — and set the price. What to do? The ever innovative Thomas Jefferson developed the idea that Americans could ‘farm’ maple sugar by growing plantations of sugar maples across the nation. The sweet sap would be boiled down into maple sugar: problem solved. There were many plantations started and thousands of trees planted across the 13 original states, but only the ones in the northern states grew and produced maple sugar.
Mark Cullen The Green File The process of extracting maple sap is time consuming and labour intensive. After several years of trying, the effort was deemed a failure. Even still, Jefferson wrote in 1787, ‘Botany I rank as the most useful of sciences’ as it bettered life – culinary, medical, economic and aesthetic. Did a box of seeds clinch the deal on the Louisiana Purchase? On Independence Day, July 4, 1804 Jefferson celebrated the anniversary of the birth of the nation for another reason: he had just acquired 800,000 square miles of land from France through the Louisiana Purchase. It is a long story, but the fact is that Jefferson had dispatched James Monroe to France as a special envoy to engage the new emperor Napoleon in talks to acquire New Orleans. He sent Monroe with a box of American seeds, as a gift and gesture of friendship to the French. It was a warm-up for discussions to come and in the end the Americans got much more than they originally bargained for. Lewis and Clark were on a horticultural mission to feed
the new nation. It is a little known fact that the highly controversial expedition of Lewis and Clark in May 1804 was a horticultural expedition. As they trudged across the new continent to the pacific coast their primary responsibility was to gather seeds and horticultural information about plant husbandry from the native people. New plants adorned the flower beds and vegetable gardens of America as a result of the two-and-a-half year journey. Garden Politics. Then, as today, the design of gardens reflected the spirit of the new nation. As one British gardener wrote in 1787, ‘there has been a close resemblance between the prevailing system in politics and that in gardening.’ If Britain manifested their politics by controlling plant growth with clipped hedges around vast views of countryside framed by formal gardens, the Americans took the more practical approach of planting equally vast apple orchards and native plant gardens enveloped by the untamed woods. ‘If America’s wilderness shaped its people’, so the argument went, ‘they too would be powerful, spirited and unique.’ All of this is to say that gardening and farming shaped a new country in interesting and powerful ways. In time the agrarians would form the Republican Party and the industrialists would form the opposing ‘Democrats’. In 1819 one magazine reported that, ‘In no other country would heads of state return to their private lives to

A special kind of yellow daffodil will be popping up throughout Napanee this April — not just in gardens but on lapels, in boxes on store counters and in the hands of doorto-door canvassers. Sold as part of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Daffodil Month, the flower represents strength and courage in the fight against cancer. They will be sold both as a pin and actual flower. Along with several local businesses, they’ll also be sold door to door as part of month long canvassing. “Daffodil Month funds go into supporting research, No. 1,” said Barb Revelle, fundraising coordinator for the Kingston,

support groups and Wheels of Hope program, which pairs volunteer drivers with patients who need rides to their treatments. Research has saved countless lives over the years, greatly improving the survival rates of several varieties of cancers. “It used to be a 25 per cent survival rate,” Revelle said of a cancer diagnosis back in 1938 when data was first recorded. “Now for a lot of them, it’s up into the 80s, which is very exciting. Childhood cancer’s survival rate has cer-
a le P
tainly increased over the years, breast cancer’s survival rate and numerous others have increased through research.” Overall, the numbers say any person diagnosed with cancer today has a 65 per cent survival rate, which has greatly improved since 1938’s 25 per cent. Certain types have a much higher success rate, especially when caught early such as childhood cancer (81 per cent), breast (88) and prostate (96).

“Some people will say there’s so much money that goes into research, why is there no cure?” said Revelle. “Well A, there’s over 200 kinds of cancer, so there’s no cookie-cutter cure. On top of that, no two people are the same.” While all bodies will react differently to treatment, it’s universally accepted that early detection is the key. That’s why Revelle says any time a doctor suggests getting screened, it’s important to follow those orders. “One of the researchers that the Canadian Cancer Society funds right here in Kingston, what he’s working on is a blood test that can detect a few types of cancer,” said Revelle. It’s research like that, says Revelle, that makes the funding so vital. Volunteers are still needed for the Daffodil Month canvassing campaign. Anyone interested in helping out should call 613-384-2361. “They don’t have to go to100 homes,” said Revelle. “If they’re interested in just doing their street or a specific area, we’re always in need of volunteers to help out with
that.” The hours are also very flexible as canvassers have the entire month to complete their selected territory. Meanwhile, donation boxes will be set up all month long in Napanee at A&W, the Riverine, Tammy’s Country Kitchen, Wallace’s Drug Store, Gray’s IDA, Coffee Cravings, April’s Image, October’s, Sand and Sea, Synergy, Napanee Opticians and the Lennox and Addington County General Hospital. The Canadian Cancer Society will also have a booth set up at Saturday’s Garden Expo, held at the Strathcona Paper Centre. Along with Daffodil Month, Revelle says now is also a great time to start thinking about the annual Relay for Life fundraiser, which will take place June 11 at the Napanee Fairgrounds. Registration is now open for that event, which has undergone some changes this year. Along with a new location, the event will also be held during the day, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., instead of from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. like in previous years. For more information on the event call 613-384-2361.

Napanee Raiders Junior C hockey team on April 30, trying to whip up a dish to impress a panel of celebrity judges. All walks of Napanee life will be represented in the eight teams, as they attempt to score the most points from panel of judges made of the who’s who of Napanee: CFL Hall of Famer and Ottawa RedBlacks coach Leroy Blugh, deputy mayor Marg Isbester and Justice Geoff Griffin. Among the competitors will be doctors, dairy farmers, hunters, radio personalities, beauticians and the mayor, to name a few. Each team will be made up of four members including one captain. The teams will create their own dish but they must use a secret ingredient which will be revealed to them two weeks before the competition. They’ll be scored on creativity, presentation and entertainment value. For $40 a ticket, members of the public can grab a front row seat to the action and enjoy hors d’oeuvres served by members of the Napanee Raiders and VQA
wine. Proceeds from the event will go towards the local Junior C hockey team, which just wrapped up its 27th season. The team has a long-standing history of developing hockey players not only to take the next step in hockey, but to become better members of the community. “What we try to do in Napanee is much more than (just develop better hockey players),” said Raiders GM Adam Bramburger. “We’re trying to create the next round of leaders in our community in developing these young men, many who stay in the area. They become our doctors, our business people, our firefighters, our minor hockey coaches and mentors, our teachers.” Bramburger also pointed out the good the team does for the community, highlighting the $3,000 they raised for the Lennox and Addington County General Hospital’s chemotherapy unit during their inaugural pink-in-the-rink game last December as well as more than $2,000 raised in a partnership with Shaw Direct for KidSport. They
also raise awareness for minor hockey teams through their chuck-a-puck events held every home game in support of the Napanee Stars and Crunch teams. “Unfortunately the cost to keep (operating a team) is increasing,” said Bramburger. “Our budget to do this kind of development is in excess of $60,000 a year when you consider transport, a viable coaching staff, officiating and ice time.” The team is hoping to offset some of that cost through their fist ever celebrity cook-off, which will be held in the lounge of the Strathcona Paper Centre. Jamie Cybulski and Mike Airhart will serve as hosts of the night, offering commentary and interviewing the chefs as they create their meals. Tickets for the event will be available at AM Sports, Hart n’ Hart, McDougall Insurance, Touch of Wellness and Serendipity Studios. Raffle tickets for a trip for two to Las Vegas will also be sold at the event. The event will get underway at 5:30 p.m.

Those in need of a dress or formal wear for graduation will have the opportunity to shop without the stress of financial burden later this spring. The sixth annual If Wishes Were Dresses boutique will be setting up in Napanee May 19-22, offering dresses free of charge to those unable to purchase a graduation dress. Kait Tuttle, founder and co-director of If Wishes Were Dresses said she is already booking appointments and will open up more boutique days if there is enough demand for it. In past years, the If Wishes Were Dresses boutique would open up both in Napanee and Kingston for a few days; however, Tuttle said this year the boutique will remain in Napanee but will still offer services to those in the Kingston area. “Anyone who is willing to drive to Napanee to come to the appointment is more than welcome to come. We’ve had people come from Trenton in the past. We don’t have a specified area we will only cover so if anybody is interested they’re more than welcome to come, from any school board,” said Tuttle. “Anyone who feels that it is beyond their means to purchase a new dress can book a private appointment to visit the If Wishes Were Dresses Boutique and select a dress for free,” she added.
Tuttle said not having to pack up and move the dresses, shoes and accessories to another location should allow for her and the other volunteers to better use their time toward more appointments. The boutique is open to girls both in elementary and high school seeking dresses for graduation. Tuttle said they have acquired nine racks of dresses now so they have lots of variety for those looking for their perfect graduation dress. Tuttle is still accepting donations of dresses, shoes and accessories in order to allow for a wide selection of styles, colours and sizes for all girls. “Flat dress shoes are always great and plus-sized dresses are always in high demand. We keep our inventory so we have a really good supply, which is great because the girls always have lots to choose from. They go home with a dress that they like, that they got to pick out,” said Tuttle. “The plus sizes, though, is where we struggle to have really good options for the girls so that’s always the key focus.” A location for May’s If Wishes Were Dresses boutique has not yet been determined but Tuttle said it will likely be somewhere downtown Napanee. Anyone interested in donating to If Wishes Were Dresses or book a boutique appointment can contact Tuttle at: 613-483-2430 or by email at ifwishesweredresses@gmail.com.

MEMORIAMS
KEITH - Todd. “Waiting in the Light” When you wake up tomorrow And grief takes your breath away, Know that I watch over you And walk with you each day. Though unseen, I stay close by, We’re never far apart, The love we shared gives testament To all that’s in your heart. I see the way you struggle now To hold your head up high, I’m proud of you because I know How very hard you try. I wish that I could hold you close And ease the pain you feel, I want so much to talk to you And promise that you’ll heal. One day you will see me again Once more within your sight, I’ll be right here to walk you in, I’m waiting in the light. Forever loved by Anne, Tyler and Tracy, Amber and his beautiful grandsons Tucker and Thatcher who he loved with his big heart.

COMMUNITY FARM AAFC invented wireworm trap "could be a major breakthrough"
March 21, 2016 - Agriculture & Agri-food Canada
A wireworm trap invented at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) on Prince Edward Island 'could be a major breakthrough'. The trap was presented to farmers on Monday 14 March at an information session and although farmers don't think it will be the complete answer to their wireworm problems, it is seen as a step in the right direction. The trap is called the Noronha Elaterid Light Trap, or NELT, and was designed by Agriculture Canada Entomologist Christine Noronha in P.E.I. Shining a small solar-powered spotlight into a plastic cup set into the ground proved to attract and drown hundreds of female click beetles, which give birth to thousands of potato-munching wireworms.

Alec Docherty, chair of the PEI Potato Board: "It's like another tool in our box." "It's not going to be the complete answer, but it's certainly going to be a start." Wireworms (Elateridae) have spread and evolved to become public potato enemy number one in the last few years, causing more than $6 million in damage to the Island's potato crop alone, so Docherty said he's sure farmers will jump on board and start using the traps as soon as possible. Christine Noronha, Entomologist Agriculture Canada: "The manufacturing [of the traps] is a year away," she said, but pointed out the design is so simple and cheap, farmers can make their own right away. She estimates the cost of one trap at about $12. "The reason why I released the information to the farmers now, before we have the actual traps ready for them, is the populations are so high, and if we don't start now, we're going to lose a year of trapping." The click beetle has a five-year life cycle, she points out, so the more quickly it's interrupted, the sooner the source population can be reduced. Noronha plans to continue her research the next couple of years, looking at how many traps farmers might need per field and the reach of each trap. The insects dig holes in potatoes as they grow, making them unfit for sale. They're a problem across the country, although worst in P.E.I., Alberta and B.C. according to the PEI Potato Board.

Rain barrel sales to benefit NDSS football, CIB
BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA
this weekend at the Garden Expo with proceeds benefitStaff Reporter ting the Napanee District Secondary School football Rain barrels will be on sale program and Communities
in Bloom. CIB is hosting its annual Garden Expo at the Strathcona Paper Centre on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. During that time, the NDSS football team will be selling rain barrels with funds being split among the football team and CIB. Rain
barrels and accessories can also be viewed and purchased online at www.rainbarrel.ca/napanee. CIB member Kathy Medd said the barrels would help increase CIB’s bloom score as well as help local gardeners save water costs. “(It) fits in perfectly with what we’re trying to do with CIB. This would fall under the environmental initiatives category related to CIB and it’s great that the high school is stepping up and getting involved with this. I think there’s going to be lots of interest in the rain barrels, I know I’m going to buy several myself,” said Medd in a previous interview about the Garden Expo. Most rain barrels are going for $55, with the option to add accessories at another cost. Bases for the
barrels and gardening accessories are also available. From the sale of rain barrels, 75 per cent of the funds will go toward the NDSS football program and 25 per cent will go toward CIB. Marg Isbester, CIB member and Town of Greater Napanee Deputy Mayor, said she hopes promoting rain barrels will push the importance of water conservation everywhere. The NDSS football program will also be selling rain barrels at NDSS on May 28 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information contact Isbester at margisbester@gmail.com or email info@rainbarrelfundraising.com or visit www.rainbarrel.ca/napanee.

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 community 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 Lyle Hamilton and Jonathan Daniel. break anything down or start anything fresh because with what’s already in the equation was already a place.” good one.

MEETING | Final report due to council at April 12 regular meeting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 I think it’s one of the most wonderful communities in Ontario and I think we have a tremendous amount to be thankful for,” he said, encouraging the committee and council to put the issue to rest soon. Scandlan gave a breakdown of taxation in Greater Napanee, based on a $150,000 property, which can also be read in his report. Both urban and rural pay $743 to the County of Lennox and Addington and both also pay $293 to the school board. The final taxation portion goes toward determined the municipality; urban residents pay $978 compared to $665 in rural – which is a difference of $313. One resident said this is too small a cost to pit neighbours against neighbours over, and also for the municipality to spend money on consultants, meetings and reports over. “This is the third type of meeting I’ve come to and I think we’re doing exactly what some people want us to do, is divide this beautiful town. Every meeting I’ve come to it’s got more and more divisive — over $300,” said Simon Moore, an urban resident. Some people at the meeting argued that the cost is only determined by a $150,000 property and doesn’t accurately reflect all those in the municipality. “So buy a cheaper house. If you buy a rich house, you’re going to pay more. That’s a simple friggin’ fact. If you don’t like living in town, move out to the coun-

For $300 to go through all this expense – there’s an old saying that we all sweat the small stuff,” Moore responded. While some people felt amalgamation was to blame for the current day’s taxation issue, others felt other levels of government were to blame. “Property taxes have increased across the board,” said Brian Hughes, an urban resident. “I think part of that is the result of some downloading of services by previous provincial government to make their budgets look healthier and transfer
the cost to municipalities.” Tiered tax rates were discussed at length especially by those in the rural areas. Rural residents said they felt that since they don’t regularly receive services such as water, sewer, road cleanup, regular policing, streetlights, sidewalks, etc., that they shouldn’t have to pay the same rate as someone living in town on municipal services. However, some residents said they felt that tiered tax rates were fair. “The matter of having one rate seems to be very forced. I don’t understand that. I think that if council
OPEN HOUSE
decides to have five or six or seven or even two rates, I think they’re playing the game to represent to the population a lot more than if they have one rate that applies somewhere and doesn’t apply somewhere else. I think we have to understand that it’s not important to have one rate. More rates will mean more fairness based on whatever criteria you want to use to determine the rates,” said Bernard Laliberté, a rural resident. Policing was a big topic again on Tuesday, as it has been throughout the entire taxation process. Many res-

idents felt the police should be providing a breakdown of where police services are required, even though the taxation committee and council have been informed that a breakdown of services could not be provided for billing urban and rural areas. Rural resident and former OPP officer John Dennis spoke about policing and said he feels such data should be made available to the municipality and the taxation committee. He said a breakdown of location data was provided prior to and during amalgamation, and added that he does not understand why the system has since changed. “At the time of amalgamation it was deemed important enough that the data was available at that time to give the rural people that 32 per cent differential in their taxes. Nothing has changed as far as the data goes,” said Dennis, who was a police officer for 33 years, 20 of which was in Napanee before his retirement. “It always was busier in the urban area than it was in the rural. That hasn’t changed, not one little bit. If
it was good 16 years ago when amalgamation took place then it’s good now,” said Dennis. On the other hand, he admitted that billing each area based on calls for service to urban and rural locations might not be the best way to go about it. “You (Scandlan) suggested in your presentation that if someone is arrested in the urban area and they live in the rural area, then maybe we should charge the rural area? Does that mean that if somebody comes from Kingston in to Napanee and gets arrested that the Town of Greater Napanee will charge Kingston? It’s the same thing,” Dennis said. The Taxation Police Review Committee met again yesterday to hold its final committee meeting, which included clarification from Napanee OPP Inspector Pat Finnegan. The meeting took place after The Beaver’s presstime; more on that meeting will be published next week. Scandlan will present a final report and recommendations to council at its April 12 regular council meeting.
