Aiming to avoid a hearing before the Ontario Municipal Heritage Committee, Greater Napanee council plans to develop new policies on seven key areas relating to heritage. Council voted to authorize the development of these policies during Tuesday’s council meeting as it works towards reaching middle ground with recently resigned members of the town’s heritage committee over a decision to repeal a by-law on a privately owned heritage property. If repealed, the house, owned by Kim and Kenn Morrison, would be removed from the town’s heritage list. That decision has since been challenged by former members of the heritage committee to the HMHC.

BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

Lennox and Addington County council will be giving multi-residential property owners and farmers a small break on their property taxes in 2017. In two separate motions at a working session last Wednesday night, council voted to adjust the tax ratios for both multi-residential properties — defined as properties having more than six residential units — and for agricultural properties. Tax ratios express the relationship that the tax rate for each property class in the municipality (farmland, multi-residential, industrial, commercial, etc.) bears to the tax rate for the residential property class. The ratios also establish the tax burden of each class relative to the residential property class — and if the ratio for one class is decreased, the tax burden is shifted from that class to other property classes. In the case of the agricultural adjustment, the decision came after council heard a presentation from a group of local Ontario Federation of Agriculture representatives, who outlined how they’ve seen assessments on agricultural properties dramatically increase over the past four years. That fact has resulted in an increase in property

taxes owing. Max Kaiser of Kaiser Lake Farms in Greater Napanee reported that, since 2012, the assessed value of farm property has increased 97 per cent in L&A. Greater Napanee Mayor Gord Schermerhorn put forward a motion calling for the current agricultural tax ratio to be adjusted from .25 of the residential tax ratio to .23; he also called for the ratio to gradually be ramped back up to .25 over the next three years. Although the reduction of the tax ratio for farmlands will result in an increase for other tax classes, the increase is relatively small: on the average residential property assessed at just less than $240,000, the increase in county taxes would be $1.07. During the meeting, Schermerhorn acknowledged that the reduction might not amount to much for farmers, but it was at least something to assist farmers try to overcome this added financial challenge. The motion would pass 42, with two council members — Eric Smith of Stone Mills and Helen Yanch of Addington Highlands — refraining from taking part due to the fact they themselves owned farm properties. (Prior to passage of the motion, L&A County Chief Administrative Officer Larry Keech advised councillors that, under

provincial legislation, it was unnecessary for councillors to declare a conflict in such instances.) In adjusting the rate, L&A County council appears to be blazing new territory in this regard — according to Stephen Fox, Director of Finance and Physical Services, no other upper-tier municipality had adjusted its agriculture tax ratio from .25 in eastern Ontario. “Based on a survey with treasurers from eastern Ontario, at this time, no other counties have reduced the tax ratio from .25, although a change to the ratio has been discussed at many council meetings,” Fox wrote in a staff report to council. “This issue has also been discussed at the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus, and the wardens were in support of keeping the ratio at .25. County and local treasurers are not recommending a change to the current farm tax ratio.” Following the meeting, Kaiser said that while he and his group didn’t get the tax ratio reduction they were hoping for, he was happy to see council make some adjustment — something which other municipalities in Ontario have been resistant to do up to this point. The adjustment of the multi-residential tax ratio from 2.2195 to 2.0 was based

on a staff recommendation in light of changes to provincial policy, which will see multi-residential property owners protected from property tax increases. The provincial government is in the process of reviewing multi-residential property taxation as part of its affordable housing strategy. For multi-residential property owners, the change will mean a 9.6 per cent reduction in property taxes. As the tax burden shifts, however, for an average residential property with an assessment of $240,000, the impact would mean an $4 increase in county taxes. Fox also noted that treasurers across the region are recommending to their councils to move to 2.0, if it’s not at that ratio already. “County and local treasurers have also discussed this issue and recommend that given the provincial direction to reduce taxes on multi-residential properties and the fact that the county’s multi-residential ratio is already able the average for other counties in eastern Ontario, that the multi-residential tax ratio be reduced to 2.0 in 2017.” The recommendation passed unanimously. Council must still pass a bylaw finalizing all tax policy and budget decisions at a future county council meeting.

School Closures

Walking With Purpose

Final PARC public meeting for Yarker school Tuesday Beaver Staff

The last scheduled opportunity for the public to weigh in on the proposed closure of Yarker Family School as part of the Limestone District School Board’s Pupil Accommodation Review process comes this Tuesday. The public meeting for the Yarker and Odessa Pupil Accommodation Review Committee takes place at Odessa Public School, starting at 6:30 p.m. Based on projections suggesting low enrolment and facility utilization at the Yarker school, Limestone District School Board staff are recommending that it be closed and its students relocated to Odessa P.S. The proposed closure — along with the possible closures of Newburgh Public School, Centreville Public School, Enterprise Public School, Tamworth Elementary School and Selby Public School — has not gone unnoticed by parents and local residents, who have rallied to try to keep Yarker and the other schools open. Stone Mills council has also taken an active role in the process. The LDSB says at the PARC public meeting, “all of the public in attendance have opportunity to be engaged in discussions

about the initial staff report (to close the Yarker school) and provide feedback that will be communicated to the board through the final staff report.” The final staff report will be delivered to the board’s School Enrolment/School Capacity Committee of the Whole Board this spring. The SE/SCC will hold a meeting to allow the public to make formal delegations concerning the final staff report. It is expected that LDSB Trustees will make its final decision regarding this pupil accommodation review at its May 17 meeting. Rural Schools Matter — a group opposed to the closure of the Yarker and other schools in the area — says it is also planning a rally on Wednesday at the LDSB offices on Portsmouth Avenue in Kingston. “Rural Schools Matter is a volunteer group of parents, grandparents and other community members; they are distressed that the Ministry of Education wishes to close one out of eight schools in the province and that the Limestone District School Board plans to close all of the schools in the Township of Stone Mills, plus Selby,” the group stated in a press release earlier this week.

Hydro relief, of sorts It’s not an everyday occurrence that a politician or a political party admits that they got something wrong, that they messed up, that they made a mistake. That’s why it was somewhat refreshing to hear the Ontario Minister of Energy Glenn Thibault say that the Liberal government made some missteps in its energy policy over the years. Never mind, of course, that most Ontario electricity customers, upon opening their hydro bill each month, say to themselves, ‘Whoa… there must be some kind of mistake,’ or, ‘This can’t be right.’ We all know that there have been mistakes made along the way. It’s good to hear the government at least acknowledge that fact. That said, it falls far short of actual progress towards righting wrongs and bringing Ontario electricity prices more in line with virtually every other jurisdiction in North America. Hydro One customers need relief. If reports in The Toronto Star yesterday morning just before our presstime are accurate, electricity customers in the province just might see that relief, to the tune of a 25 per cent hydro rate cut. This is great news but, given the built-in costs related to electricity generation and delivery, it sounds too good to be true. To an extent, it is: according to the report, this rebate will be achieved by extending the amortization periods for Ontario’s various electricity generation projects beyond the standard 20-year period. According to the Star report, customers will see the rebate on the ‘global adjustment’ line of their hydro bills, as the expense of contracted generation is reduced by about $1.5 billion per year. In other words, we’re spreading the pain over a longer period of time — it’s not a problem solved, but a problem deferred. At the same, this move — or something like it — had become necessary in order to help customers make ends meet, and to help Ontario businesses remain vibrant and competitive. We don’t disagree with this strategy, in the short term. It’s important to remember, however, that real solutions to the problems facing Ontario’s electricity systems still need to be found. Further — and despite this most recent lifeline — it’s doubtful that Ontario voters will forget who was making the mistakes in the first place that brought us to this difficult point.

The benefits of birding The following is the first of a new series of weekly columns by local resident Laurie Snider. Snider looks to write positive pieces about “small town living, personal interests, holidays and seasonal events as well as current events or notable people.”

I adore watching birds. My interest began while growing up in Trenton, as my parents loved to feed the birds. I can vividly remember the yips my Mom would emit, when a less common variety would perch on her feeder. “Oh look! It’s a Grosbeak!! She would exclaim. “We haven’t had one of those here before!” At that I would dutifully race to the sunroom window, to observe the latest feathery bundle, responsible for her unbridled excitement. This is when I first became educated about which birds were which. I quickly learned to differentiate between a robin and an oriole, a grackle and a blackbird. I was able to name the common varieties that are usual suspects at bird feeding stations; chickadees, nuthatches, various finches, cardinals and of course the squawky blue jays, who relished her daily peanut Columnist Laurie Snider at her ‘nest’ in Napanee. offerings.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 65 Years Ago February 27, 1952 ■ Ontario Premier Leslie Frost was expected to be an attendance for the opening of the Tamworth Community Centre. Depending on ice conditions, there were a few other events planned in conjunction with the opening, including a performance of some 50 figure skaters from Belleville. An exhibition game between the Tamworth Seniors and the Belleville Glen Boys was also planned. The facility was built for $30,000, with much of the labour provided free-of-charge by way of inkind donations. The new community centre could also be used year round. ■ A large barn near Empey Hill went up in flames, along with livestock and feed stores. Roland Weidman’s barn housed some 53 hogs, 60 tonnes of hay, 40 tonnes of straw and 400 bushels of oats, along with a few pieces of machinery, when it was completely destroyed by fire. At the time of the fire, which was first noted at around 2:30 p.m., only Mrs. Weidman was at home. By the time help had arrived to combat the fire, little could be done to check the blaze.

35 Years Ago March 3, 1982 ■ While some 250 new employees at Millhaven’s Urban Transit Development Centre were moving into their new offices, job notices advertising for 300 more employees were about to be posted. The new facility will assemble and supply transit vehicles to fill contracts for Detroit, Vancouver and Scarborough light rail projects. The facility was expected to be built in time for production to start in 1983. A recent announcement for a new rapid transit system in Vancouver was the latest signalling that production would need to ramp up to meet the demand. ■ A 17-year-old Deseronto boy died in a fire at his RR1 Deseronto home. The house was located on North Street near the Deseronto-Tyendinaga Township boundary. The boy was the only occupant at the time of the fire. Some witnesses told fire crews that they heard an explosion before flames engulfed the small bungalow. It was still not clear, however, what cause the fire. His father had been out of the house getting more firewood from a farm near Lonsdale when the fire occurred.

Hobby and history merge at ‘Fun with Trains’ day Miniature mock-up of Springside Park to be featured BY JUSTIN MEDVE Staff Reporter

When it comes to model trains, Picton Model Railroaders president John Woolhead says you’re only limited by your imagination — and your pocketbook. At least, that’s the attitude Woolhead said he hopes people walk away with after the next ‘Fun with Trains’ day at Lennox and Addington Museum from 10 a.m to 3 p.m. on March 13. “I like to think that for every time we show, somebody becomes a model railroader,” he said. Woolhead said last year’s installment of the annual event had a turnout of about 300 people to view the scenes he and other enthusiasts spend months, days and hours detailing. One scene to be featured at this year’s event is Riverside Park and its overhead Napanee River Viaduct as it appeared decades ago. Though the project took three months to construct, Woolhead said he found

time to model a vintage car show by the water and give most of the miniature-size ‘residents’ their own backstory. “If we can spark an interest in using your imagination, that’s what it’s all about,” he said. He added that the age of last year’s attendees was split evenly between young and old, with new enthusiasts being a welcome sight. Woolhead explained that modelers who can no longer carry on with the hobby sometimes use these shows to sell their work at a generous price to young folks looking to get started. “It starts a new age if somebody beginning comes in and picks it up and they get it quite reasonable (in terms of price),” he said. He added that it’s also helpful to have equipment movers: work from the Picton Model Railroaders will be featured in Cobourg and Kingston over the next two weekends. The exhibit will also feature work from the Belleville Model Railroad Club also on display.

HERITAGE | New policies to be developed CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Council repealed the bylaw at the behest of the homeowners, who cited a large spike in insurance costs associated with owning a municipally-recognized heritage home.

“As part of the process with the appeal for council’s intent to repeal the by-law there was a pre-hearing conference,” said Greater Napanee town clerk Susan Beckel. “The purpose of that is to have some discussion for all parties involved to

see if there is a way to remedy the repeal without going to a full hearing,” As part of pre-trial proceedings, town staff will now draft policies that will clearly state by-laws that pertains to maintenance of the Municipal Register of

cultural heritage properties, a request to designate a property by bylaw, amend a heritage designation by-law, repeal a heritage designation by-law, alter a heritage designated property, demolish a heritage designated property and list or delist a property of cultural heritage value. “It would just compliment what’s already in the legislation (regarding heritage properties),” added Beckel. If all parties involved agree on the policies, the case would be dropped instead of being presented to the OMHC. Both councillor Roger Cole and deputy mayor Marg Isbester spoke in favour of the motion, expressing optimism that it could help solve the matter at hand as well as any avoid future disputes over similar cases. If the appeal is heard by the OMHC, its decision is ultimately non-binding on council.

‘Voodoo Rockfest’ plans for September return date BY JUSTIN MEDVE

organization that has a function in town,” said Mayor Gord Schermerhorn in congratulations, after reminding Matthews he was not in support of the event at first due to noise concerns. The festival did generate some noise complaints from neighbours, which were brought to council after the event. The Odessa resident apologized for not interacting more with the municipality when the festival was coming to fruition last year, but ensured that working closer with council and the town would be a priority for its second installment later this year. “I want to ensure that I

keep lines of communication open as we move forward,” Matthews said. Voodoo Rockfest saw 26 bands perform on two stages at Napanee Fairgrounds over a September weekend. From metal to blues, some of the bands were tributes and others were original acts — just over half of them local. Matthews said any excuse to use the fairgrounds is a positive one and praised the work done by volunteers to keep them in shape. Some of those volunteers were students — Matthews shared that he was able to award a sum of 200 community hours to local high school students as

well as write six letters of recommendation for volunteers from St. Lawrence College. He added that youth engagement will take even more of a forefront the next time around and that building a stronger connection with Napanee District Secondary School and local youth committees is a primary goal. Ward 5 Councillor Shaune Lucas asked if the event could be held sooner, but Matthews said the September date is crucial to both youth networking and not having to compete with other festivals in the area. Local businesses also benefitted through sponsorships and extra visitors,

Matthews said. “Every business we approached for the event actually sponsored us, which was great,” he said. In addition, $220 was raised towards Kingston’s Walk 4 Kids Mental Health; a group Matthews said works to remove the stigma surrounding mental health issues. “A lot of the most talented people in the world, musically, suffer from mental health issues, so I’m happy to donate money to them,” he said. Voodoo Rockfest 2017 is slated for Sept. 22-24. Matthews did indicate that he would be seeking a noise by-law exemption for the festival.

be seen in low-lying places.” The rain has also made shorelines more treacherous. “We are urging members of the public to be extremely cautious around local waterways. Parents and caregivers should remind children about the dangers of playing near fast-flowing water in ditches and smaller creeks. Hypothermia is a concern for anyone who falls into open water,” said McClure. Quinte Conservation warns the public that stream banks should be avoided in winter, as footing is unpredictable and frigid open water conditions are extremely dangerous. Areas around dams, culverts and bridges should be avoided at all times, the conservation Authority warns. Residents are also urged to monitor their sump pumps and ensure they are in good working condition during this kind of weather.

Raiders oust Islanders in Game 5 Napanee to meet Port Hope in PJHL finals

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

he Napanee Raiders will hope the third time’s the charm as they get set to take on the Port Hope Panthers in the Provincial Junior Hockey C League’s finals. This will mark the third year running the two clubs will have met in the finals, with Port Hope sweeping the last two years. Port Hope once again enters as the higher seed will enjoy home ice advantage in four of the seven games, should it go the distance. Game 1 of the finals is scheduled for Saturday in Port Hope with Game 2 Sunday in Napanee, both with 7:30 p.m. puck drops. The rest of the series schedule was yet to be finalized. Both clubs had little trouble in their respective best-of-seven semifinal series as the Raiders closed out the Gananoque Islanders at home in Game 5 on Friday night while the Panthers finished off a sweep of the Picton Pirates at home on Saturday. Napanee missed out on their chance to sweep the Islanders on Thursday, falling 5-2 on the road. Brodie Maracle got the Raiders off to a sizzling start, scoring just 15 seconds into the game to really push the Islanders up against the wall. They would come out swinging, scoring a pair of goals to take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission. Justynn Steven responded for Napanee early in the second to tie but the Islanders weren’t prepared to end their season just yet, ripping off three unanswered goals including a empty-netter in

Maddi Wheeler of the NDSS Golden Hawks breaks in alone on the Frontenac Falcons goalie during Monday’s KASSAA semifinal, held at the Strathcona Paper Centre.

Lady Hawks blank FSS, advance to finals NDSS hopes to reverse fortunes against HC

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

rianna Gaffney ended her high school hockey career in style, helping send her NDSS Golden Hawks into yesterday’s KASSAA finals. Unfortunately for her she was forced to sit out the finals (results of the game were unknown at press time) as she underwent surgery on Tuesday to take care of a lingering shoulder injury. With the surgery scheduled in advance, she entered Monday’s semifinals knowing it would be her final game, ending her four year Golden Hawks career. The NDSS captain and leading scorer made the

most of her farewell game at the SPC, scoring a goal and picking up an assist in Napanee’s 2-0 win over the Frontenac Falcons. Demonstrating remarkable patience, she opened the scoring in the first by skating through the Falcons defense and then held the puck while she waiting for a clear shot. Once she saw it she showed her quick hands, firing a blazing shot that beat the Falcons goalie for the all-important first goal of the game. “I was pretty lucky I had a few girls in front of the net screening the goalie,” said Gaffney. “I just found the back of the net.” NDSS clung to that lead through the second, doubling it when Ray West gobbled up a rebound shot and

tucked it around the pad of the sprawled out Falcons goalie. Gaffney and Abby DeHaan assisted on the play. That was all the offense the Hawks defense would need while Sara Kennedy was perfect in net to earn the shutout. She was particularly strong in the final two minutes when a Hawks penalty coupled with a Falcons extra attacker, led to a six-on-four advantage for the visitors. Still the Hawks defense stood tall and shut down the Falcons shooters. “It’s a little bit nervewracking at the end there,” said Gaffney. “But then we had a big finish and we’re going to carry it over into the finals.”

Dalton Lawrence (right) of the Port Hope Panthers will take on Tim Morton’s Napanee Raiders in the PJHL Tod Division finals. the final minute to live for another day. The celebration was short-lived however as the Raiders would take care of business the next night in front of 400 fans at the Strathcona Paper Centre. Sean Robertson and Steven each notched a goal in the first two periods to take a 20 lead into the third. The Islanders would have one last rally in them, scoring a pair of goals in just over a minute to set up a tense finish. Riley Steeves would break the tie at the 17:54 mark and Steven would add a crucial insurance goal just 44 seconds later to put the home team up 4-2. They’d need every bit of that insurance policy as the Islanders’ potted a goal in the final minute to cut the lead to 43. Try and they might, they couldn’t get the all important equalizer and saw their season come to an end in Game 5. Though the Raiders won

the series 4-1, the Islanders certainly made it interesting. The composite box score showed Napanee outscored their opponents just 14-12 in the series, which included a double-overtime win for Napanee in Game 3. The games weren’t quite as close in the league’s other series, as the Panthers rolled the Pirates by a combined score of 20-9 in their four game sweep. Port Hope scored a 4-2 victory on the road Thursday to go up 3-0 and then snuffed out Picton at home on Saturday by a score of 5-3. Looking ahead to the finals, a quick glance at the numbers would seem to suggest the Panthers are the favourites to complete the three-peat. Port Hope once again dominated the regular season, going 35-3-1, accumulating 18 more points than the second place Raiders, who went 26-12-1.

Napanee for their part was still an impressive though as dominant 14-6 at the SPC. Head-to-head this year the Panthers were 5-21 against the Raiders.

A closer look at the numbers however offers some hope for Napanee. While their overall body of work against the Panthers this year isn’t overly encouraging, the Raiders were 2-01 over their final three meetings, including earning a 4-4 tie on the road, making them the only team to steal a point in Port Hope’s barn this year. Whether that late season success will carry over into the playoffs remains to be seen.

NDSS boys hockey team falls at home in semifinals shootout

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

dream season came to a nightmarish end in the KASSAA semifinals for the NDSS Golden Hawks boys hockey team on Tuesday as they suffered a heartbreaking 4-3 shootout loss to the Holy Cross Crusaders. Twice Napanee rallied back to tie in the first period as Liam Wilkerson and Kyle Garrett each answered a Crusaders’ goal. Brendan Hagerman, Emmet Pierce and Nelson Powers each earned assists. Jakes Wales scored early in the second to give NDSS their only lead of the game with Taylor Stalkie and Kier Doyle earning assists. That lead held until late in the third when the Crusaders converted on the power-play to send the game to overtime. Both teams had their chances in the 10 minute extra frame, neither could net the game winner. That’s when they turned to a shootout, with the Crusaders scoring on two of their attempts while

the Hawks were stopped on all four of theirs. “You wish you could just keep playing and see who scores a goal,” said Hawks coach Jeff Birchard. “But then we could be here all night and we can’t take up the ice that long.” Shootouts were the one achilles heel for this Hawks team, who went 7-0-1 in the regular season, becoming the first NDSS boys hockey team to clinch the top KASSAA seed in recent memory. Their one previous loss came at the hands of the Regi Panthers in the shootout back on Dec. 14. “To come in first place, earn 15 of 16 points, you can’t say anything bad about the season,” said Birchard. “We had a good year, I felt we were probably one of the best teams we’ve had in awhile. The boys were having fun and playing well.” The team had visions of playing in this afternoon’s KASSAA championship, but instead will be left to agonize over what could have been with just one more lucky break and goal in reg-

ulation. They will however have reason for optimism next year as they look to build on their success with a strong core returning. They will lose some talent though as they say goodbye to grad-

Brianna Gaffney is captain for the NDSS Golden Hawks girls hockey team. Playing in her final game of her high school career she picked up a goal and assist in the Hawks’ 2-0 semifinal victory.

MEMORIAMS HIRD AND FILE - In loving memory of our beloved daughter Jody and her fiance Rick, who died together in a car accident on March 2, 1981. God’s Lent Children “I’ll lend you for a little while, These children of mine” God said, “For you to love them while they live And mourn for when they are dead, It may be one or two years, Or forty-two or three, But will you tell I called them back, Take care of them for me? They’ll bring their charms to gladden you And should their stay be brief, You’ll have their lovely memories, As solace for your grief, I cannot promise they will stay, Since all from earth return, But the lessons taught below I want these children to learn, I’ve looked the whole world over,

In search for teachers true And from the things that crowd Life’s lane, I have chosen you And will you give them all your love? Nor think about the labour vain? Nor hate Me when I come to take These lent children back again?” I fancied that I heard them say “Dear Lord, Thy will be done” For the joys Thy children will bring, The risk of grief we’ll run, We shelter them with tenderness, We’ll love them while we may And for the happiness we’ve known, Forever grateful stay, But should Thy angels call for them, Much sooner than we’ve planned, We’ll brave the grief that comes And try to understand”. Lovingly remembered by Mom and Dad.

5 need-to-know facts about your Canada Pension Plan contributions (NC) Every worker in Canada outside of Quebec between the ages of 18 and 70 who earns more than $3,500 each year contributes to the Canada Pension Plan. This means that roughly 19 million people contribute to and collect from the fund each year. But do you know how your contributions are managed to ensure they're there when you retire?

Will your Canada Pension Plan (CPP) be around when you need it? Only 33 per cent of non-retirees agree that the CPP will have enough money to cover their retirement benefits when they retire. But this couldn't be further from the truth. The Chief Actuary of Canada, who monitors the health of the CPP fund, says the program is sustainable for the next 75 years at current contribution rates and is projected to continue growing over this period to approximately $6.7 trillion in 2090. “The CPP continues to grow, helping provide workers with part of their retirement income well into the foreseeable future,” explains Dan Madge, senior manager of public affairs and communications for the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, which is responsible for investing the contributions. “Contributors and beneficiaries should take comfort in the fact that the fund is sustainable for multiple generations.” Sustaining growth in an ever-changing environment so that your grandkids receive their CPP benefits is no small feat, and a lot can happen in 75 years. But whatever happens, contributors and beneficiaries of the CPP can remain confident that one element of their retirement income is secure, thanks to a well-managed and diverse portfolio of public equities, private equities, real estate, infrastructure, and fixed income instruments.

Canada Pension Plan Investment Board manages the assets found within the CPP fund, from the time you start making contributions to when you start collecting. Here are five important facts about your money: 1 The CPP fund is currently worth approximately $300 billion and is expected to continue growing for decades. 2 Deductions are made from each paycheque until the maximum pensionable earnings as set by the Canada Revenue Agency is reached. The funds not needed to pay current benefits are invested. 3 CPP assets are invested with the singular objective of maximizing returns without undue risk of loss to ensure that Canadians have a foundation for their retirement

income. CPPIB adopts a truly global perspective by investing in a broad range of asset classes from around the world. This includes everything from a large stake in the Canadian independent multimedia studio, Entertainment One Group, to numerous investments in real estate and infrastructure abroad. 5 The Chief Actuary of Canada, who conducts a financial review of the CPP every three years, projects that the Fund will grow to approximately $476 billion by 2025 and is sustainable for the next 75 years at current contribution rates. This means you can rely on your funds in retirement and for generations to come. Find more information at www.cppib.com. 4

Haunting history behind ‘Grandfather’s Clock’ Back in the 1940s there was a radio programme called, ‘And So the Story Goes’. It was a brief commentary-type, rapid-fire chronicle, along the lines of ‘believe it or not’. It might profile an individual’s unusual experience, a bizarre event or a little-known fact of life. The story behind Henry Clay Ward’s 1876 song may well fall into this category, since the alleged tale seems a little farfetched to be true. But regardless of the fantasy element around which the anecdote revolves, the time, the place, and the personnel are historically accurate. In Piercebridge, England, there was an old hotel called the George Hotel. It was a rest stop for weary travellers and was run by two Jenkins brothers. In the lobby there was an old upright clock. It always kept perfect time until one of the brothers died. Gradually the ancient timepiece started losing time — first a minute or so every few days, then a minute a day, and finally several minutes over 24 hours. Clockmak-

ers were called in to repair it, but there, seeing the clock, and noting no matter what their level of that it was not running, he asked about it. He was expertise, it seemed told the story about nothing could be the Jenkins brothdone. ers and the big tick The second tock.

credited with writing ‘The Wreck of the Old ‘97’.) But it was this composition which gained him the most recognition as a song writer. In those days there was no ‘hit parade’ or ‘Billboard’s Hot 100’; but this number sold one million copies of sheet music. It ran neck and neck with ‘I’ll Take You Home Again, Kathleen’ as the most popular song in 1876. It was first recorded by the Haydn Quartet in 1930. Strangely enough, it was not until his old time hit that these upright timepieces were called ‘grandfathers clocks’. Previously they were alternately known as ‘long case clocks’, ‘standing clocks’, ‘long clocks’, and ‘coffin clocks’. Grandfather’s Clock My grandfather’s clock was too large for the shelf So it stood ninety years on the floor; It was taller by half than the old man himself

Though it weighed not a penny weight more. It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born; And always was his treasure and pride. But it stopped short, never to go again when the old man died. Ninety years without slumbering….tick tock, tick tock. His life seconds numbering…..tick tock, tick tock. But it stopped short, never to go again when the old man died. It rang an alarm in the dead of the night; An alarm that for years had been dumb. And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight, That his hour of departure had come. Still the clock kept the time, with a soft and muffled chime, As we silently stood by his side. But it stopped short, never to go again, When the old man died.

It’s time to park it Is he a country boy who loves the city or a city boy who loves the country? Dave Harvey asks this question openly of himself. One thing for sure, he is no boy. After 25 years in public service, including a stint working in the Premier’s office he is a mature adult with the determination of a great salesman and the discipline of a seasoned academic. Mr. Harvey is the founding Executive Director of Park People. We first met five years ago, to discuss how we could double the urban tree canopy. We were working with 12 other not-forprofit organizations who shared our ambition. I met Dave again when he was bestowed the Aster Award this past November. He received this award for his work and commitment to our urban parks. The event was a good chance for us to get caught up. Here is a portion of what I learned about his amazing work. Mark: Park People, what is it? Dave: It is an independ-

ent charity that builds stronger communities by animating and improving parks and placing them at the heart of life in the city. Our guiding principle: when communities get involved parks get better. Parks are ‘green connectors’ that allow us to move through our dense cities in beautiful, inspiring ribbons of green. I am reminded of the Emerald Necklace in Boston. An expansive collection of green spaces that are connected by bike and walking paths that encircle the city. The Emerald Necklace is part of what makes Boston such an outstandingly livable city. And it has been around for almost 200 years. Mark: When did you get Park People off the ground – and how? Dave: After publishing a paper titled ‘Fertile Ground’ (an outline of Dave’s ideas on improving parks, funded by the Metcalf Foundation) in 2010, many people bugged me to start an organization to implement the ideas in

the paper. We started with have seen almost $5 million the first ever Toronto Park invested in innovative, comSummit in 2011 and haven’t munity building nature looked back.

step in the wrong direction. Mark: What does the future hold for Park People? Dave: We are the only urban parks partnership organization in Canada. With a lot of interest from cities across the country and support from TD Bank we are now going to start rolling out a National City Parks Network starting this year. Mark: What is the big announcement for this year? Dave: We are holding Canada’s first ever National City Parks Conference in Calgary in early March. The conference will be a transformative event for urban parks in Canada. In every city across Canada we are challenged to: 1. Create parks and green spaces to adequately serve our growing population density; 2. ensure parks in underserved neighbourhoods are funded with meaningful programs and amenities; and 3. adequately resource our parks departments so they can maintain a growing parks system. Mark: Last word to you.

Dave: I think Canadians are increasingly aware of the contributions a great park system makes to the environmental, social, economic and health well-being of our communities. There is a growing understanding that parks are crucial pieces of infrastructure in our cities. Both social infrastructure and green infrastructure can help our cities be more resilient in an era of climate change. Mark: Forget ‘Country vs. city’. Dave Harvey is committed to strengthening the connections of urban people to their natural surroundings and the enhancement of those green spaces for the benefit of all.
