Opening face-off for the 2017 National University Women’s Hockey Championship gets underway this afternoon as the top eight teams from across Canada get set to battle today through Sunday at the Strathcona Paper Centre. Action gets underway at 3 p.m. this afternoon with the first of four quarter-final showdowns. The host Queen’s Gaels take the ice at 7 p.m. as they take on UBC while the remaining quarter-final match-ups go tomorrow at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Teams will have to be on their ‘A’ games right off the hop as a loss in that first game will crush any hope chance at winning a medal. The four teams that win their first game advance to the semifinals, which go Saturday at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Town to develop interactive app New software would allow for promotion of municipal events

Promoting a municipal event-there’s an app for that. At least there soon will be after Greater Napanee council voted to accept town CAO Ray Callery’s recommendation to purchase $16,000 worth of software from Inspirehub Technologies. Over the next three years the town would work to develop the software into an app that would be able to deliver up to the minute updates on upcoming events. “What it would allow us to do is immediately live change advertisements and

promotions for events,” explained Callery. “Our information technology department reviewed not only this software but a number of other softwares that we thought would provide this effectively. We’re recommending what another neighbouring municipality went with in Tecumseh.” Callery says going the technological route would not only save the town money on printing costs, but give them a bevy of options to interact with users. “This is a powerful tool because it allows for us, on all events, basically once it’s developed we can use it for Canada Day and for all 13 events that are run by the

municipality,” said Callery. “The way it works is once a person clicks on the advertised URL, it picks up the application and it automatically appears within their cellphone or their laptop. They basically get regular updates on events once they subscribe.” Those updates could include event schedules as well as any last minute changes due to weather. The town could also broadcast a message that would reach all of its users instantly, ideal for an emergency warning situation. On the lighter side the app would also allow users to submit photos of the events that once moderated

could be uploaded for all users to see. As they further explore the technology Callery says they could send out polls and surveys to get feedback from its users. Along with the new app, the town would continue to utilize social media to advertise its events, such as the annual Riverfront Festival. It would also continue with print advertising, though on a smaller scale. Council voted to accept Callery’s suggestion, which would be to buy the service for $16,000 paid out one time for three years worth of service. That would also include 24 hour live support and access to other applications.

It took a day or two to get over the loss and turn that loss into a motivator.” Holmberg says his roster, which has nine ladies in their fourth year, has plenty of experience behind it. “There’s been a couple of games where we’ve fallen behind and because of that veteran presence there hasn’t been any panic,” said Holmberg. “We’ve remained confident and been able to come back in those games and also that veteran presence just in dealing with that loss against Toronto and refocusing with Nationals has been huge. This is the last hurrah for a few of our players so I’m sure that’s pushing them even further.” An updated link to the weekend’s schedule as well as tickets for the event are available at www.GoGaels Go.com.

Correction An article in last week’s Beaver about Yarker Family School had an incorrect date about when the school could potentially close.

If the school were to be closed, it would be in June 2018. The next meeting on the matter, which is open to the public as observers, will

be held March 21 at 6:30 p.m. at Yarker Family School. The Beaver apologizes for the error.

The NDSS contingent of 42 students, plus staff and a few parents and observers, will be hard to miss in their red jackets at the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, which will take place this April in France.

NDSS students gifted with grant ahead of historic Vimy Ridge trip Local high school students to help mark 100 year anniversary BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

trip of a lifetime for 42 NDSS has already become memorable — and they haven’t even left yet. On March 7 the school trip to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge this April got a massive, and unexpected, shot in the arm when TransCanada, Matrix NAC and those working at the Napanee Generating Station project donated $10,550 towards the trip. Representatives from the NGS project made the presentation at a trip meeting at the school, and it came as a surprise to organizers, parents and students. NDSS teacher and trip organizer Francine Leblanc said the donation should solve any remaining budgetary pressures and allow for the students to take part in

some activities that they might not have otherwise been able to. The donation came after Derek McMullen — piping supervisor for the NGS project and the parent of a participating student — was selling tickets for a fundraising chili supper for the trip at a meeting. “The response was overwhelming. Within a few minutes after that meeting, I had people coming up to me… to make a donation. Within a few hours, Matrix NAC, corporately, and TransCanada, corporately, were coming to me and asking me how we can help this group,” McMullen said. “This has taken on a life of its own over the last few weeks. I expected a little bit here and a little bit there, but it’s been overwhelming,” he continued. Saleh Jan, Matrix NAC project manager, and Brian Young, TransCanada project construction manager, said

the trip was an easy venture to get behind. “We all relished the opportunity to support the trip, for two reasons,” Young told the students. “One is that you’re representing Canada in France for the celebration. (Second), it’s the fact that you’re doing a research project; individually, you’re researching people from the area and you’re also discovering the rich history of service and legacy and this area. We all jumped to it.” The donation was just the latest detail in what is becoming a — literally — historic trip. Student and parents also got more information regarding NDSS’ participation in a Hill 70 memorial ceremony on April 8, a day before the Vimy ceremony. At that ceremony, NDSS students will participate in the ribbon cutting for a new permanent memorial.

Picturing Our Community

Self-inflicted wounds After the 2011 provincial election, it appeared as though the Liberals had a problem: the party had been virtually shut out in rural parts of the province. Sure, it still had enough seats for a strong minority government, but it was clear (to us anyway) that the party needed to start making some inroads into the backroads of Ontario. For the most part, however, the Liberal government continued to stay the course, which meant alienating rural Ontario. The Liberals exchanged Dalton McGuinty for Kathleen Wynne, and she — against the odds — got the Liberals back into majority territory in 2014. Still, the Liberal red/Progressive Conservative blue map electoral map of Ontario was stark. The Liberals got lucky, we thought — surely this time around, they’ll try to reach out and address some of the issues happening outside Toronto and the big cities? Well, they didn’t. At least, not enough that it’s making a difference. They’ve backed off on the Green Energy Act — something which served to make ‘Liberal’ a four-letter word in several rural parts of the province — but it comes too little too late. The government is also giving rural Hydro customers a bit of a break on delivery charges as well. These cosmetic ‘fixes’, however, likely won’t go too far when provincial politicians hit the hustings next year. What baffles us is the fact that the Liberals’ rural problem should have been made crystal clear with the result of the 2011 election. It was all there in red and blue. And yet, the Liberal government continued to pursue policies that left rural Ontario feeling like an afterthought. Nothing embodies this as much as the situation facing rural schools, many of which are being closed or are being recommended to close. Don’t get us wrong: schools and school boards should operate efficiently. Not every school can be or should be saved. But, surely to goodness, the extent to which schools are being shuttered here and in other places around rural Ontario can’t be good for rural communities. As a study developed for Stone Mills Township by Doyletech points out, the closure of these schools can have a dramatically negative impact on the communities in which they operate — literally every sector of the rural economy takes a hit. While it’s still a long way away from the next provincial election in June 2018, we don’t see very many ‘paths to success’ for the Ontario Liberals. There have been enough scandals to gall both urban and rural voters that it’s no surprise Wynne has record-low approval ratings. Without a dramatic course change, not only can rural Ontario be written off for prospective Liberal MPPs, but urban voters will be looking elsewhere as well. Given the extent to which the Liberals have been tone deaf to rural Ontario, it would seem naive to expect any meaningful course change at this late hour. Perhaps we’ll be proven wrong.

Members of the Napanee District Minor Hockey Timbits Hockey program scramble for the puck during a giant shinny game held Saturday morning at the Strathcona Paper Centre. The game, which saw upwards of 20 players on the ice at a time, was part of the program’s year-end celebration. Each player had a chance to skate through dry ice as they were introduced into the arena and received a Timbits medal.

Staff Picks: Brown Girl in the Ring Since last month was Black History Month, the Amherstview Branch’s book club read books based on the themes of black history and culture. Coles Jennifer, who leads the book club, chose to read Brown Girl in the Ring by Nalo Hopkinson, a great CanLit novel. It’s sci-fi and from 1998, so it could be considered a bit obscure. “Winner of several ‘best first novel’ awards, this novel weaves together ele-

ments of Afro-Caribbean culture, feminist science fiction, and magic realism,” says Jennifer. “These threads find expression in the proNotes tagonist, setting, and conflict, respectively, and intersect throughout the novel.” She explains, “The protagonist, Ti-Jeanne, a Jamaican-Canadian woman, lives in a community under siege. Set in a dystopian vision of a near-

Catherine Coles

future, a criminal gang rules a downtrodden downtown Toronto. A folk magic practice called the Obeah complicates inner city warfare as it can be used for good and evil purposes, alternately challenging and empowering TiJeanne, the heroine, in her journey. “Layers of traditional Caribbean culture permeate the novel. First and foremost, the dialogue reflects Caribbean English dialect with its unique rhythms and phonetic spellings.

Farley and Barnabas Did you know that a German shepherd can walk backwards up the stairs? I didn’t either until I saw it with my own eyes. Farley, the oldest of the two dogs that we share our home with, is eight; his younger, rowdier housemate Barnabas is three. Barney, as he is also known, loves nothing more than a good tussle — anytime, anywhere is just fine with him, even on a flight of stairs. Often when descending the stairs, Barney in the lead will be overtaken by a sudden burst of energy and rather hysterical enthusiasm. Farley, next in line, sensing the impending melee, attempts to avoid it. He begins a hasty retreat by backing up the stairs until he is safely behind me. A fine example of his dog wisdom in action, as he puts some distance between himself and the roiling, rumbling, ruckus awaiting him on the landing below. Interestingly, German shepherds are a fairly new breed to the dog kingdom. In 1899, a German ex-cavalry captain named, Max von Stephanitz, purchased a German sheepdog he named Horand. Believing that dogs should be bred for work, he admired the strength, athleticism, intelligence and ability of these animals. After breeding Horand, he was given credit for being the creator of these magnificent dogs. The breed declined in popularity after the First and Second World Wars, due to

thrown back, snouts in the air, the great cacophony of howling begins in earnest. Once started, there is usually no stopping it, until they are satisfied that they have called the wolves home. There are days I feel like we live in downtown New York city, especially when it is before sunrise. Did I mention they don’t like to be alone? They are devoted to their families, preferring to be in their company. Always! Personally, I am astounded at their ability to predict my every move. This so often leads to the three of us attempting to walk through the same narrow passageways in our home at exactly the same moment, lest I have a sudden urge to get ahead and take off somewhere unexpectedly! Inevitably, I am the one squeezed out. Despite the noise, stairway antics and clinginess, I truly cherish them. Sadly, in recent days a couple of friends have lost their own beloved, canine companions. My heart goes out to them. Our ‘boys’ are not only family, they are great friends. As I recently expressed to my grieving friend, our animals are such a paradox; one minute driving us crazy, the next providing that unconditional love we all so badly need.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 65 Years Ago March 12, 1952 ■ Napanee town council was looking into the leaking of gasoline into some downtown businesses. The leak was reported by the Napanee Creamery and Frosty Lockers on Dundas Street. For few weeks, a strong odour of gasoline was detected in the businesses’ basement; eventually, liquid gasoline was discovered. It was not immediately clear from where the gasoline was leaking. In the meantime, it was recommended that sand be added to the affected area to prevent a fire from taking place. Council directed staff to determine what role the municipality could or should play in the matter. ■ Napanee council was preparing to take action against a resident who apparently had been fraudulently collecting relief payments from the town. The man had recieved about $1,000 in such payments before it was discovered that his wife was employed, which disqualified the man from receiving support from the municipality. While council was skeptical in being able to collect the funds, it wished to deter others from engaging in similar actions in the future.

35 Years Ago March 17, 1982 ■ A consultants report into the workings of the senior management of the Lennox and Addington County Board of Education suggested that a fouryear-old decision to eliminate a superintendent position was having a negative effect on the functioning of the organization. There had been two superintendent positions that reported to the director of education. For the past four years, however, the board had operated with only one superintendent. The board was in the process of reviewing the report and considering what action to take to address it. ■ In the face of a downturn in the economy, the Napanee Business Improvement Area was taking steps to engage in more promotion in order to help downtown businesses remain vibrant and viable. Among the plans discussed at the BIA’s recent annual general meeting was new monthly streetwide indoor and outdoor promotions. They also planned on expanding their advertising from print and radio to include a television component. The group was aslo advancing some downtown beautification ideas in order to attact more visitors and shoppers.

VIMY RIDGES | NDSS students earn exclusive invitation for Hill 70 Memorial event CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 It will honour the Battle of Hill 70, which took place in August, 1917. Governor General David Johnston will cut the ribbon, surrounded by the NDSS contingent. The NDSS students will be the only students participating in the ceremony, said Hill 70 Memorial organizer Susan Everett. Everett explained the significance of the Battle of Hill 70, which saw the Canadian army remove a dug-in German placement overlooking the city of Lens; taking heavy losses, the Canadians succeeded where other Allied armies had failed. “The Canadian victory at Hill 70 raised the morale,” she said. “It gained ground, which was crucial, and it also cemented the reputation of the Canadian corps. Because of the role of Canada at Vimy and the Battle at Hill 70, the Battle of the 100 Days, Passchendaele, Canada was treated as an independent nation. It had a seat at the war cabi-

Bill McNaught, through the Napanee Royal Canadian Legion Branch 137, donated copies of his book Vimy: Letters From the Front. The book tells the story of his great uncle, John Leslie Ball of Vennachar, who was killed during the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917. McNaught told the students that the book — which relies greatly on 11 letters from Ball to his family back home — focusses on the impact that war can have on a family, and serves as a reminder that even after a great victory, some are left with profound loss. “No soldier goes into battle alone. The families go with them every step of the way,” McNaught told the students. “That’s the way we should think of John Ball and his cousin Charlie Gregg who also died there. These were sons, these were brothers, these were uncles, these were sweethearts. I hope that’s the way you’ll see Private John Ball and Private Charles Nathaniel Gregg.”

A look at an American-Irish classic Three day traffic blitz nets 40 charges When Irish Eyes Are Smiling’ may be the most recognized of all songs connected with the country and people of the Emerald Isle. It has been recorded on over 200 singles and albums by many famous soloists, like Bing Crosby, Patti Page, Roger Whittaker, Joni James, and Nelson Eddy. It has been included in 26 motion pictures, either full length features or film shorts. One historian opines that it has continued to be a familiar standard for several generations. It was written in 1912, but the catalyst for its composition took place across the sea, beginning a halfcentury earlier. Commencing in the early 1700s, the potato became the staple crop in the land of the green — indeed it was the primary industry in what the United Kingdom called its ‘original colony’. Thus, when there was crop failures in successive years, from 1845 through 1849, the land was devastated. It was caused by a late-season blight which destroyed the leaves and the roots. A passing ship described the scene in one field as being 32 acres of total black. One half of the country’s population placed total dependence on le pomme de terre. One million starved as a result of the disaster, and many others succumbed to typhus. Two million immigrated to other countries, with one-and-a-half million of that number landing on the shores of the U.S.A. ‘They came by the boatload’ was the common complaint. These swarms of

immigrants overwhelmed the land, and by their sheer dependence up the incumbent population it was feared it would overwhelm the economy of New England. The vast majority of them had no education or skills, since they had only been involved with the manual labour connected with potato farming. This brought about an influx of paupers who crowded into

Musical Memories rat-infested living quarters. In turn, diseases like yellow fever, tuberculosis and typhus skyrocketed. Resentment was the result. They were looked upon as parasites on the country, feeding off the good fortunes of others. Not surprisingly, in desperation, they turned to petty crime. Fifty-five per cent of all arrests in New York City in those first years after their arrival involved the Irish. It took nearly half a century, but gradually these

newcomers finally found themselves. They learned trades and became productive citizens. They were hired to build cities, lay railway tracks, and work in mines. Fire departments and police forces found them to be strong and reliable. By 1900 it was ‘cool’ to be Irish. This fostered a barrage of Irish songs, intended to pay tribute to that land and its people. ‘When Irish Eyes Are Smiling’ was inspired by the vastly improved conditions of those who were once scorned. It was penned by Americans: George Graff (who had written ‘Teach Me To Pray’) and Chauncey Ollcott, (who was responsible for ‘My Wild Irish Rose’), collaborated on the lyrics. They engaged established composer Ernest Ball (‘Let the Rest of the World Go By’) to compose the melody. John McCormick, a wellknown Irish tenor of the day, made the initial recording of the catchy ditty two years later, kicking off its growing popularity. Its longevity was affirmed in a rather amusing way on March 17, 1985. Canada’s Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney, and U.S. President Ronald Reagan, sang it as a duet at their Shamrock Summit; more recently, Mulroney performed an encore at the behest of President Donald Trump at a fundraising dinner last month in Florida. Smiling eyes? One may ask. Indeed, it is when the whole face expresses what the lips normally do. The eyes almost squint as the mood is transferred to the peepers.

Police Beat The Napanee Detachment hosted a three day awareness course on commercial motor vehicles for officers from Napanee OPP, Frontenac OPP, Madoc OPP, Bancroft OPP, Prince Edward OPP, Quinte West OPP and Kingston Police. During the last day and a half, officers were out conducting vehicle stops for

commercial vehicle compliance. Officers inspected commercial motor vehicles that required Commercial Vehicle Operator Registration (CVOR) in the province of Ontario and had the following results: 52 vehicles were inspected. Nine vehicles were taken out of service, 40 charges were laid under the Highway Traffic Act, two sets of license plates were

London Ont. duo Kevin Kennedy and Jane Carmichael make up The Marrieds, who will be playing a show in Tamworth on April 8 as part of the Tamworth Erinsville Community Development Committee concert series.

Marrieds bring folk act to Tamworth Tickets on sale now for April 8 concert

BY JUSTIN MEDVE Student Reporter

ometimes, songs are more about personal connection than a catchy chorus or riff. In the case of London, Ont. folk duo The Marrieds, strong lyrics take priority but the music doesn’t suffer as a result. The couple said their stories of love, luck and the beauty of everyday life should resonate with their audience well when they take the stage for the April 8 installment of the Tamworth-Erinsville Community Development Committee’s concert series. “Growing up, there were many rock songs I listened to that I still don’t know the words to, but I still love the songs,” said Kevin Kennedy, who sings and plays guitar for The Marrieds. Kennedy is harmonized by his wife, Jane Carmichael, on vocals and ukulele. “We love small towns,

that’s our favourite thing,” Carmichael said. A small town doesn’t mean a small show, however. The Marrieds will be joined by a backing band to help with drums, percussion and bass. The couple said they’ve gradually introduced more instruments to their songs over the course of three albums. “I’d love to tour with a full band and a string quartet, that would be a dream,” Carmichael said. With various awards, nominations and busy touring cycles, that dream may be getting closer. The Marrieds have been nominated under folk and music video categories at the Toronto Independent Music Awards and for vocal group of the year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. They also won the folk division at London’s Jack Richardson Music Awards, but Kennedy said any recognition is a great sign they’ve been headed in the right direction.

Success considered, Carmichael and Kennedy still find time to share the story of their humble beginning in 2010. When a December blizzard left most of London shut down, they spent three days writing and recording three songs about the circumstance. 10,000 YouTube views and a feature on CBC’s Sound of the Day later, they realized they had made something special. “The funny thing is, we never got along musically before,” Carmichael said. Right now, Carmichael said they have a few song ideas that they will go back to after focusing efforts on their live shows. The Marrieds’ April 8 show at the Tamworth Legion starts at 8:00 p.m. with doors opening at 7:00. Tickets are $35 each and available at BON ECO, Stone Mills Family Market, River Bakery and Café and Marie’s Place (in Napanee), or by calling 613-379-2808.

Local Devils Headed To OHL Cup

Council calls for superb senior nominations Suggestions due by April 30

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

reater Napanee council is calling on residents to help it recognize some of its outstanding senior citizens. Speaking at Tuesday's regular council meeting, deputy mayor Marg Isbester put the call out for submissions to the Ontario Senior of the Year Award. “I don’t think we take advantage of the opportunities to recognize people in our community,” said the Isbester. “We take some advantage, but we don’t take every advantage. As a council we have a chance by April 30, and it must be done by council, to nominate someone for 2017 Senior of the Year Award.” Though the official nomination to the province must come from council, Isbester says they welcome suggestions from the community

as to who that nomination should be. The criteria they search for are individuals 65 years or older who have made their community a better place, enriching the cultural, civic and social life of their town. Though she made the motion for council to call for submissions, Isbester said she didn’t have a particular candidate in mind. Rather she’d like to hear from residents on who they think best represents the town. “I believe within this community we certainly have lots of people that we could (nominate),” added the deputy mayor. Council voted to accept the deputy mayor’s motion and would advertise how to submit nominations in the coming days. The province will announce the winner in June, which is also Senior’s Month.

Local artist to showcase landscapes at museum Newburgh’s Wendy Cain to speak Tuesday BY JUSTIN MEDVE Student Reporter

f you leave Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives scratching your head after its next Tuesday Night at the Museum event on March 21, artist and guest speaker Wendy Cain says she’ll consider it a success. Cain specializes in painting with paper pulp, which she said isn’t a very common technique that often leaves people wondering about what kind of work goes into her pieces. She explained that traditional paintings, drawings and sculptures raise a lot less questions. “Those techniques are well-established and people are aware of them, whereas if you move off into a territory that is less publiclyknown, then that’s when people sort of start scratching their head,” she said. Most of Cain’s pulp projects take the form of earthy landscapes with open skies

that she’s witnessed herself. Cain said growing up on a farm in Eastern Ontario’s Glengarry County and living in Lennox and Addington County for the last 41 years are prime inspirations. Her museum exhibit is appropriately titled Growing Up and Living in the Landscapes. However, a piece of those landscapes often end up being more than an inspiration. Cain said she grabs leaves and other plant matter from her garden the day she wants to portray them. She then makes stencils from those materials and layers them over a blank canvas. Meanwhile, the pulp in Cain’s paper beater has finished its three-hour softening process and is ready to be dyed whatever colour she would like to use. Cain called the next step the most difficult part of the process: visually remembering where each stencil fits into the overall picture as she fills them in with the pulp. “You can’t peel anything off until you’re done the whole thing, so you’re working layer on top of layer on top of layer,” she said. Luckily, if mistakes are

Cain’s upcoming exhibit will have her sharing the stories of those works and further explaining the process of making them. She said the goal of her

landscape work is to remind museumgoers of the scenes they’ve experienced themselves. “I think people take landscape with them,” she said. “I like to think that people can look at my work and it can trigger some

response from them — of something that they remember.” But Cain has another style that even she can’t explain. “I have this split personality,” she said. Pieces in her Shipwreck Dreaming line see blown-up microscopic imagery, fish and assortments of random items tied together in a visually unique fashion. She said she has a penchant for putting things where they shouldn’t be, and hopes the people who see her art question their interpretation of it. Besides technique and

perception, Cain will be speaking on her journey as an artist, art teacher and art exhibitionist. Since 1972, Cain has had 18 solo exhibitions and taken part in 300 group showcases. Most of her work now resides in public galleries while she operates a recently established hand papermaking studio in Newburgh. Her museum stop will feature live entertainment from musician Barry Lovegrove and refreshments from Season’s Fine Foods will be on-hand. The event takes place from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

March Break Minion Mania

Objection dropped ahead of hearing BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

five month long saga surrounding the historical designation of 232 Dundas Street W came to a close Tuesday night when council officially voted to repeal the designation. Citing a huge spike in insurance costs associated with owning a home that carries a historical designation, the home owners asked council to repeal by-law 873-90 back in November. Council agreed, but not without objection from the town’s Municipal Heritage Committee. In January many members of the Heritage Committee resigned over council's decision and opted to

bring the matter to a municipal hearing. The results of the hearing would be nonbinding and ultimately council would have the final decision as to whether or not appeal the by-law. Just as council was preparing to go to the hearing, the town clerk was informed the objection had been removed. With that obstacle removed, council voted unanimously to repeal the by-law. Council opted to side with the home owners after hearing of the difficulty they had in not only finding affordable insurance, but finding a company willing to offer them a policy at all. Those willing to take on a heritage home offered quotes of $14,000 a year.

Sweeping déjà vu for Napanee Raiders Panthers oust Raiders out of league finals in four games for third straight year

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Robins chirping, longer days and the Port Hope Panthers sweeping the Napanee Raiders in the PJHL Junior C league finals. For the last three years now those events have become somewhat of a midMarch tradition in these parts. On Friday the Panthers completed the sweep in the PJHL Tod Division finals, holding on for a 4-2 victory on home ice in Game 4. Last Wednesday they went up 30 in the series after edging the Raiders 3-2 on the road. The series would prove to be a microcosm of the Raider-Panther rivalry of the last three years. Time and time again Napanee has shown to be good enough to make their opponents sweat a little but come crunch time just can’t find that extra gear to over-

Any hope of forcing a Game 5 was squashed a few minutes later however as Mike Smith notched a power-play goal and Lawrence drained an empty-netter in the final second to secure the 4-2 victory and clinch the Tod Trophy for a third straight year. Game 3 also came down to the wire as the Raiders trailed by a goal in the final seconds but couldn’t notch the equalizer. Justynn Steven and Sean Robertson scored for Napanee in the 32 loss, offset by goals from Port Hope’s Smith, Kallen McFarland and Cameron McGill. With the series win the Panthers will now set their sights on the Schmalz Cup playoffs as they look to settle some unfinished busiAdam Prudhomme-Staff Napanee’s Riley Steeves carries the puck in front of the Raider bench while Port Hope’s Jon Campbell ness, having finished as runner-ups in the allattempts a poke check during Game 3 of the PJHL Tod Division finals at the SPC.

Novice Stars strike first in OMHA finals; Atom AEs look to rally Both teams hit the road Saturday Beaver Sports

he Napanee TI Flooring Novice Stars got off a solid start in their OMHA East Finals on Saturday, edging out a 3-2 over the visiting Oro Thunder. The Stars matched their opponents over the first two periods, with each team scoring twice. Malcolm McCaw and Kohen Cutler tallied for the locals with assists going to Matthew

Airhart (two), Lucas Asselstine, and Evan Gaffney. Early in the third, McCaw got the puck off the backboards, and fed Wyatt Albright in front for the winner. Kohen Cutler was also credited with an assist. As time wound down in the third the Stars were able to successfully kill a 5on-3 Thunder power-play. They survived the nervous finish to clinch a huge victory in the first-to-six-points series. The next two games are this weekend in Oro. Game 4 would return to Napanee on March 25 at 3 p.m. with

Game 5 slated for March 26 at 1 p.m., if necessary. ■ The Napanee Atom AEs also began their Finals on Saturday facing the Dorchester Dragons, but were edged 3-2 at home. The first frame was scoreless, as both teams tested their opponents. In the second period, the visiting Dragons tallied first with a shot just under the crossbar from close in. Blake Wood evened the score with 4:44 left in the second as the teams played 4-on-4 hockey as a result of penalties. Carter Slaven drew the

assist. The Stars continued to apply pressure, controlling the puck for much of the middle frame but couldn’t convert for the go ahead goal. Though they spent most of the time in Dragon territory, they just couldn’t finish their plays and find the back of the net despite their chances. The Napanee boys came out flying in the third, as Mason Goodfellow scored top shelf, with an assists to Owen Kish and Scott Scrimshaw to take the lead.

ing the Ravens to their seventh straight Canadian title, defeating the Ryerson Rams 78-69 on Sunday. The Ravens had to do a little catch-up to clinch the championship, falling behind 63-51 after the third quarter. The defending champions showed why they’ve been able to maintain their dynasty for nearly a decade, roaring back to outscore their opponents over the final quarter. Overall the Ravens have now won 13 national men’s basketball titles, more than any other Canadian university in history. For Smart the victory was a storybook ending to the season, which saw his Ravens go 19-0 in regular season play and earn him coach of the year honours. It marked the seventh time he’s earned the Stuart W. Aberdeen Memorial Trophy, given annually to the top CIS coach. The win was also a bit of revenge for the Ravens, as they were upset by the Rams a week earlier in the Ontario conference final. The Rams entered the national title with a 17-2 regular season record. Smart has been at the helm for six of the Ravens’ record setting seven straight wins. Last year he stepped away for a break, handing the reigns over to his nephew Rob Smart. The program didn’t miss a beat as the younger Smart coached the team to a victory over the Calgary Dinos.

Goalie Aiden DiFazio was busy as the boys were outshot 22-10. The Stars now face a must win game, or at least look to force a tie this Saturday as they hit the road for

Dorchester. They’d face a similar task Sunday. also in Dorchester. If the Stars can take of business on the road the series would return to Napanee on March 25 at 4:30 p.m. for a crucial showdown. They’ll hope for better luck on the road after dropping back-to-back home games to open the series.

It helps to know that she was loved and is missed by so many, it helps that we have such a huge and loving family of nieces, nephews and cousins. Every little bit helps ease our loss and we sincerely thank you all. The (Holmes) Wallace and Goulah families.

Always loved and missed, Rick, Amber and Danielle

In memory of

CLARENCE KENNEDY

March 13, 2016 A loving husband, a caring father and cherished grandfather.

As the days turn into a year our treasured memories keep you near. The grandchildren speak of their Poppa and often a memory is shared. A song, A season, A saying. They all take us back to you. So many times we have felt you near and we know you guide us still. God bless you, we love you and miss you beyond measure.

Rose Marie, Amy and Jamie, Sara and Ted, Lana and Kevin and families.

In loving memory of our mom who passed away March 16, 2009.

You left us without warning, Not even a goodbye; And we can’t seem to stop Asking the question, “Why?” We didn’t see this coming, It bit us by surprise; And when you left for Heaven, A small part of us died. Your smile could brighten anyone’s day, No matter what they were going through; And every day for the rest of our lives, We’ll be missing you.

Forever loved and sadly missed by your sons and daughters Eddie, Liz, Darlene, Scott, grandson Gregory, husband Gord and brother Don.

Retirement saving for late bloomers Today’s young professionals hear about the importance of saving for retirement seemingly from the moment they are hired. In addition to discussions with human resources personnel about employer-sponsored retirement plans, young professionals are learning about the importance of saving for retirement thanks to the abundance of financialplanning advertisements on television, the radio and the Internet. Older workers may not have been so lucky, and many may find themselves trying to play catch up as retirement age draws closer. While it’s important to begin saving for retirement as early as possible, late bloomers whose retirement dates are nearing can still take steps to secure their financial futures. • Pay down debts. Eliminating debt is good for men and women of all ages, but especially so for those nearing retirement. Substantial debt may delay your retirement and can greatly reduce your quality of life during retirement. If you still have substantial debt, eliminate that debt before you start saving additional money for retirement. Once your debt

slate has been wiped clean, you can then increase your retirement contributions. • Eliminate unnecessary expenses. If your retirement savings are low, start cutting back on unnecessary expenses and reallocate that money toward retirement saving. Cutting out luxury items, such as vacations to exotic locales or country club memberships, is one way to save money. But don’t overlook the simpler ways to save, such as canceling your cable subscription or dining at home more often. • Downsize your home. Many empty nesters downsize their homes as retirement nears, and doing so can help you save a substantial amount of money. If the kids no longer live at home or if you simply have more space than you will need after retirement, downsize to a smaller, less expensive home. Monitor the real estate market before you decide to downsize so you can be sure to get the best deal on your current home. Downsizing saves on monthly utility bills, property taxes and a host of additional expenses. Downsizing also means less maintenance, which gives you more time to pursue your

hobbies upon retiring. • Take on some additional work. While you may have long felt you would slowly wind down in the years

immediately preceding retirement, taking on some additional work outside of your current job is a great way to save more for retirement

Quinte Bookkeeping

and perhaps even lay the foundation for a postretirement career. Workers over the age of 50 can be invaluable resources to startups or other businesses looking for executives who have been there, done that. Look for parttime jobs that seek such experience. Even if the initial jobs don’t bowl you over

financially, part-time consultant work in retirement can make up for lost retirement savings and may even make your retirement years more fulfilling. Men and women on the verge of retirement can take many steps to grow their retirement savings and make their golden years that much more enjoyable.

Spring training underway for Softball Napanee pare players for competition and offer a great place to learn skills for recreational play. “They’re good prep for our rep teams, but they’re also great for kids who are looking at playing house league or any other level of ball,” he said. “In many cases, we have kids that come out and play ball for the very first time.” Paul hosted the first back-to-basics spring training clinic for his group of boys under 12 earlier this month at Southview Public School.

Players were refreshed on fielding and positioning, running various line drills with some games thrown into the mix. One mother in attendance, Chantelle Howard, said that she and her son Samuel travel from Belleville to take part in Napanee’s thriving softball scene. “They’re learning a lot of different skills that they wouldn’t,” Howard said. Howard said she supported Paul on the importance of clinics for children who aren’t as competitive, praising coaches for going out of their way to make them possible. Paul said fundamentals like fielding a grounder or fly ball are the best place to start the season for any player, however. “Those are the things that will ultimately help you play well and play well as a team,” he said.

Fosters to showcase nature film and photos Hosted by Hastings Stewardship Beaver Staff

enowned filmmakers John and Janet Foster will present Behind the Camera: Travels with John and Janet on March 23 at Gerry Masterson Community Hall in Belleville. Their talk, which gets underway at 7 p.m., will be the finale in the Winter Speaker Series hosted by the Hastings Stewardship Council. The filming assignments of the Fosters for CBC, TVOntario, and the Discovery Channel have taken them all over Canada. Through their films and slide shows they continue to share their own passion for Canada’s wild places and the diversity of our wildlife. In the late 1960s, John and Janet’s passion for canoeing and nature photography began in Algonquin Park, a place still

Film maker John Foster paddles his canoe on the close to their hearts. Canoeing deep into the park allows these explorers to film wildlife of all kinds in

their natural habitat. This will be a personal show illustrating the Fosters’ evolution as canoeists and film

Canada for hiking and canoeing. During the talk they'll showcase their trip to Nova Scotia to witness spectacular shorebird migrations around the Bay of Fundy and to the Annapolis Valley for the spectacle of wintering Bald Eagles. The themes of this show are a love of canoeing and nature photography, and knowing when to be in the right place, at the right time. That rule has guided the Fosters through years of producing television programs. Nature enthusiasts, travelers and photography and film lovers will be fascinated with the professional images and the flow of technical expertise. Masterson Community Hall is located at 516 Harmony Rd. in Belleville. An Submitted photo entrance fee of $5 (or a donation) will help cover crystal clear waters of Georgian Bay costs; children are free.
