A variety of voices weighed in on potential municipal voting reform Thursday as Greater Napanee council held its second open mic meeting on the matter, this time at South Fredericksburgh Hall. Between 50 to 60 residents turned out to the event, a follow-up to the Feb. 21 open mic meeting that was held at town hall. The core discussion was whether Greater Napanee should continue to vote via the ward system — which sees residents living in five different boundaries of the town vote for one representative plus the mayor and deputy mayor — or go to at-large voting, casting ballots for all five councillors regardless of where they live, as well as mayor and deputy mayor. Before turning the floor over to anyone wishing to speak at Thursday’s meeting, Greater Napanee Clerk Susan Beckel led a short Powerpoint presentation that outlined the five options up for discussion. They include keeping the status quo, dissolving the wards and moving to at-large voting, hiring a consultant to review the current ward boundaries, using a combination of ward and at-large voting or to include a question on the 2018 election ballot, allowing voters to select the method they’d like to implement for the 2022 election. A referendum question would require at least 50 per cent eligible voters to respond to the question in order to be binding.

of products available to deal with wild parsnip, “and also an approved alternative product, which we’ll review based on its toxicity and its effectiveness (against) wild parsnip and noxious weed.” Unless the plants are already under stress due to drought or other factors, only the wild parsnip or similar plants will be affected by the spraying, Wagar said. Wagar said that the spray would be applied at the edge of the gravel shoul-

der to within approximately one metre of the property limits. “The following areas will not be sprayed: manicured roadsides or lawns of property owners; a 10-metre buffer from any freshwater habitat; and other locations requested not to be sprayed by landowners,” Wagar said. Those landowners who advise that they do not want the spray applied adjacent to their property will be required to maintain the right-of-way and deal with the weed themselves. “Under the Weed Control Act, we are obligated to deal with the wild parsnip. So, if the homeowner or property owner in this situation would like to manicure and maintain that right-of-way for us, we’d have an agreement in place where they would be responsible for maintaining that right-of-way,” he told council. “Should they not do that, at that time we would go in and spray that area.” He said that any home-

owners who do opt out should contact the county or their local municipal office. “We will include that in our GPS data system so that when we are proceeding with the spraying, we’ll know not to spray that location. In addition, the property owner can post ‘no spray’ signs at the edge of their property,” he said. Wagar said the spraying program would take place over the next two years. The first application will take place in May and June, before the plant has an opportunity to go to seed and proliferate. According to Ontario’s Invading Species Awareness Program, wild parsnip is an invasive plant native to Europe and Asia likely brought to North American during settlement. It produces sap containing chemicals that can cause human skin to react to sunlight, resulting in burns, rashes or blisters.

Budget stays federal course: MP BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

While this year’s federal budget might not be as ambitious as last year’s budget, local MP Mike Bossio says it is “building on the theme” already set by the Justin Trudeau-led government. Further, he said that measures contained in this year’s budget should make a positive difference for the Canadian economy as well as the economy of HastingsLennox and Addington. “Our focus is threepronged,” Bossio said in a telephone interview with the Beaver on Monday. “You increase productivity through investments in infrastructure. You increase investment into innovation so you can be a global leader. And, you put money in the pockets of those who are going to spend it. You try to redistribute the wealth to low- and middle-income individuals and they spend that money generating local

growth as well. As long as we stay focussed on those three areas, in the long run, that’s going to benefit all Canadians.” He said that the “biggest benefit” contained in this year’s budget is a $2 billion commitment to rural infrastructure, a measure that was first announced in the government’s most recent economic update and enshrined in the budget. “That’s huge. That’s massive. What’s really good about it is that it’s focussed,” Bossio said. He said the spending initiative doesn’t fall under any other umbrellas, so it won’t be siphoned off to other priorities. Instead, it will be earmarked for things like roads and bridges and other rural infrastructure projects. “There were many areas that were unique to rural areas that had no coverage (in other budget sections), so we said, ‘We need something that is going to be dedicated to rural, and we need something that is going to be tar-

getted,’” he said. “I’m really glad that they followed us in our advice on that, and that’s what they stipulated within the budget.” He creditted the work of the Liberals’ nearly-50member rural caucus, of which Bossio is the chair, for bringing those rural priorities to the government. “We have a big voice, and we use that voice every single week in communicating the needs of rural Canada — and they’re listening,” he said. Another specific measure included in this year’s budget includes the introduction of some flexibility in parental benefits through Employment Insurance. With the adjustment, an individual receiving those benefits can extend the payments from 12 months to a maximum of 16 months (although the total amount paid out remains the same). “There’s no change in the dollars, but there’s far more flexibility in the amount of time, and when you can actually leave work to actu-

ally take advantage of the benefit,” said Bossio. He said that of all the measures included in this year’s budget, it’s this one that has generated the most feedback and calls seeking more information, Bossio said. Bossio indicated that the budget contained a number of other initiatives, including $7 billion set aside for additional child-care spaces and $3 billion earmarked for home care. He also highlighted the federal government’s efforts to assist farmers in getting their produce to international markets. “We’re investing into rail, we’re investing into infrastructure, which increases the ability of farmers to get their produce to market and to export,” he said. “We’ve got a massive country with a small population, so there’s massive export opportunities. We do export most of our agricultural production. But, if we can increase that production, there’s no lack of countries looking for it,” he continued.

Downtown Napanee Reconstruction

Councils award Dundas Street project BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

Lennox and Addington County and Greater Napanee have awarded Len Corcoran Excavating of Kingston the contract for the first phase of the massive downtown Napanee Dundas Street reconstruction project. L&A County Council unanimously approved the recommendation to approve the $1,812,439.50 contract at its regular meeting last Wednesday night. The contract is about $150,000 less than what the county had originally budgetted for the project. Greater Napanee council approved Len Corcoran for its portion of the project, amounting to $1,061,302, at its regular meeting on Tuesday night. The total cost for Phase 1 is pegged at $2,873,741.50. L&A Manager of Roads and Bridges Chris Wagar told county council that staff and consulting engineers G.D Jewell Engineering closed the tenders on March 1 and met publicly with the bidders. Five bids were received, which were then ranked based on assessment criteria, references, resources and schedule. The project is expected to start next month and take three years to complete. The first phase involves a 350 metre stretch from Centre Street west to Robinson Street. The second phase will tackle a 400m stretch from Centre Street east to Adelphi Street in 2018. In 2019, the third phase will address Dundas Street from Robinson Street east to Hessford Street.

Local health agencies responding to opioid crisis BY JUSTIN MEDVE Student Reporter

Kingston Frontenac Lennox and Addington Public Health is hopeful that awareness campaigns and a cover-all emergency services workshop have given Napanee a fighting chance against harmful opioid pills that have claimed lives across the country. “We as a community need an integrated approach to this issue. It can’t just be one agency,” said KFL&A Public Health Medical Officer of Health Kieran Moore. Moore said the workshop — which included dozens of medical personnel, police, firefighters and members of APRIL 1 ‘DAY OF PERCUSSION’ From 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the rehearsal hall at the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts.

gency Services Mark Schjerning told the Beaver that fentanyl can be up to 100 times more potent that morphine. Schjerning said that regular drug users are most likely to be exposed to fentanyl through contamination of their daily dose. He explained that even bigger problems arise when multiple users buy from the same laced batch and medical resources are left overwhelmed. In a staff report to L&A County council last week, Schjerning told council that “in response to the opioid crisis and projected overdoses relating to illicit fentanyl,” the department has put a number of protocols in

place for L&A County paramedics. That has included not only staff education but carrying additional Naloxone — a fentanyl antidote that can slow opioid absorption long enough for further medical attention to be provided — and requiring enhanced levels of personal protective equipment. What to do in situation involving fentanyl was a focus of the KFL&A Public Health workshop — with case studies from similarsized rural and urban communities examined — but stopping it before it starts was also considered. Moore shared the importance of Naloxone. KFL&A Public Health recommends that any regular drug users

The drugs have since been spotted in Kingston and Belleville. Fentanyl is a respiratory depressant that Moore said should only be used in surgical procedures where oxygen and blood pressure monitors are present. “Outside of an emergency room or operating room, this drug can be deadly.

Moore said keeping track of how often Naloxone kits are administered and refilled by both paramedics and drug stores is key to knowing where the situation stands locally. Confirming an overdose to be opioidrelated can take up to 40

days, however. Currently, Naloxone kit use is rising and the area’s overdose rate has been holding steady at one person a month. “We’re happy that some of the messaging we’ve been getting out appears to be working,” Moore said. But the war on drugs continues. “Clearly, one is too many,” he added.

Picturing Our Community

To quit or not to quit There seems to be some speculation that Kathleen Wynne might (or maybe should) step down as premier and leader of the Ontario Liberal Party sometime between now and the next provincial election in 2018. It’s easy to understand why this is so. Regardless of how you believe she and her government have performed, her popularity is at an all-time, historic low. One published by Angus-Reid last week suggested Wynne enjoys the support of only 12 per cent of Ontario voters. On the surface, that would suggest that Wynne is an anchor to Liberal re-election chances if ever there was one. It may just prove to be true come election day, which is just more than a year away. But is jettisoning the leader the right play here for the Liberals? That’s a tougher question. If the Liberals want to rebound in time to win the next election, she’ll have to step down soon. Otherwise, we think it’ll be too late for any successor to pick up the pieces and mount a comeback. Further, there doesn’t seem to be much a push, at least publicly, for her to go from within the party. Wynne herself had little more than a year between when she took over from outgoing premier Dalton McGuinty in 2013 and the provincial election. Despite some significant scandals, Wynne managed to not only get the Liberals re-elected to government, but to pick up enough seats to restore the party’s majority in the legislature. We don’t think we would have seen the same results had McGuinty waited much longer before resigning. Having leadership conventions shortly followed by general elections are hardly the recipe for electoral success. Further, the resignation of McGuinty was unexpected, but only slightly so. He had been premier for 10 years, and he had ‘done his bit’. Wynne has only been in charge for about four years. While his resignation could plausibly be sold as a longtime leader giving up the reins to the next generation, Wynne’s resignation would smack of desperation. That, too, could also act as an anchor, defeating the purpose of Wynne stepping down in the first place. Let’s not forget that she does know a thing or two about winning elections, too. She had long odds going into the last election and she defied them. Some might credit the Progressive Conservatives with an unwitting assist on that score, having run a less-than-engaging campaign themselves, but the end result was the same: the Liberals won with Wynne. Further, who do they have waiting in the wings? It’s one thing to say ‘Let’s get rid of Wynne’, but there are no obvious successors that leap to mind. Changing horses this late in the race is one thing, but it would help to know if you had a good horse or two you could count on to make a decent run. Ultimately, however, we suspect that this is a case of re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. The Ontario Liberals are going to have an uphill battle with or without Wynne in charge. If she doesn’t step down shortly, chances are we won’t see her step down at all — that is, not until after the voters of the province have at least had their say in the matter first.

Letter to the Editor

Council need to be united We cannot solve today's problems with yesterday's thinking. Rural Ontario has been dealt a bad hand by the dysfunctional provincial Liberals who have few supporters here. But our council must still play the hand they are dealt. Despite the burdens being downloaded from Queen’s Park, Greater Napanee has many opportunities to improve services, promote development, find new sources of revenue and reduce taxes.

Our council desperately needs to be united to face this challenge. Previous councils have quarreled over urban-rural issues to the detriment of our entire town. That’s part of the reason our taxes are so high. For example, past quarrels over pre-amalgamation reserves prevented the Napanee Electric Commission reserve from being applied on construction of the arena. Had this been done, the arena would have been paid for three years

ago. As it is, over $1-million has been wasted in financing costs and five per cent of our taxes will go to pay the arena loan until 2024. A similar urban-rural spat prevented us from disposing of surplus properties and this has wasted at least $1million. When council is not pulling together, it costs all of us. A lot has changed since amalgamation and most of

The greenhouse

where a greenhouse was being dismantled. Graciously, he was given the strapping and panes of glass to build one of his own. It was only six feet long and four feet wide but tall enough to stand upright in. The growing bed which was on one side only, was next to the house. What made it unique, even fun, was that you had to walk under our covered deck to get to the

door to go inside. At the time, I remember it felt like a secret passage. Every evening, Dad would arrive home from work and head out to his greenhouse to care for his little wintery crop. It was the usual fare: lettuce, cucumbers, a few onions and of course tomatoes. He even loved to boast that his tomato plant of ‘78’ grew an astounding 500 ruby jewels, from August until the following June. I loved this special little house of glass and joined him every opportunity that I could. After unlatching the heavy door and swinging it open, you’d be met by a blast of warm air, then the aroma. The smell of tomatoes in this hot and humid place hung heavily in the air. This is when I first became acquainted with this rich, sweet scent, that is somewhere between musty and fresh. Together we would weed and water and spray his ‘special potion’ from a bottle, to pollinate the tomato flowers. I would tell him about my day, who I was friends with (or wasn’t), homework assignments, recess, whatever happened to be on my mind. Dad would talk about his own childhood, work, things he was working on, or family. Mostly though, we talked about gardening and he

showed me how. He has always had a nofuss approach. Never one to bury himself in gardening books, he just used the “you just do it like this!” method, which has always worked for him. I have only ever known him to grow an abundance of gorgeous, healthy produce, no matter where he planted his seeds. Dad kept his little greenhouse going for six years until the novelty had run its course. Now in his 80s, he still loves to garden. And so do I! I know that for me it all began in this little greenhouse. The scent of tomatoes growing in a garden, or even on a windowsill, is a strong sensory memory for me, an emotional touchstone. According to scientific studies all of the senses can trigger emotional memories and of these, smell is the most powerful. In a study by scientist Silvia Alava, she found that people remember 35 per cent of what they smell and only five per cent of what they see. For me this very distinctive smell brings me back to a sweet and innocent time in my life. It reminds me of where I first learned about gardening and how I came to love it to, even more importantly though, it reminds me of spending this precious time with my Dad.

our current council seems to have recognized the damage that has been done by the urban-rural divide. It has now dealt with the urbanrural tax policy in a sensible manner and, to their credit, has been able to reduce tax levies across the board. I think that a majority of the members of council now

realize that our ward system is a barrier to progress. I congratulate council for having the guts to tackle this difficult issue. To have a united council, it is essential that each member be responsible to the entire electorate. A plebiscite has been suggested, but this would only delay resolution of the problem for another term (which may be the intent of

those who advocate it). The result would not be binding on a new council unless there is a 50 per cent turnout, which has never happened. Worse, a plebiscite would mean that urban-rural mudslinging will dominate the 2018 election and perhaps continue after. No candidate or voter should wish for this. Several long-standing members of council are retir-

ing. There is no shortage of replacements in both regions. I’d like to be able to vote for the best seven on the ballot and I don’t care where they live. Good things are happening in Greater Napanee. We need a progressive and united council to face the challenges ahead. Hubert Hogle, Greater Napanee

N one of the southern facing windowsills of our lovely old home, a rather wild and spindly tomato plant is growing up the inside of the glass. I call it my orphan. Late last fall, I dug out the miniature, green, leafy seedling from between two boards in one of my raised beds. This happens every year at the end of the summer as tomato babies begin to pop up everywhere. I usually try to transplant one or two. I carefully stake them up in one of my old clay pots and place them in the window, where I hope they will produce at least a handful of their tiny, sweet fruits. I find it is one of life’s more delightful pleasures to enjoy a tasty bit of summer on a snowy, cold winter’s day. Inevitably, while watering them or plucking one of the marble sized gifts to eat, my hand will brush against the leaves, releasing their heady, earthy aroma. The rich, green somewhat grassy fragrance from a tomato plant takes me back. In the early 70s when I was only 10 years old, my Dad built a greenhouse in our backyard. Dad has always loved gardening, starting his first one as a mere boy himself while growing up in Toronto. He has had a garden every-

where he has lived ever since. Wishing to expand on his avid hobby, he thought it would be fun to grow some vegetables in the winter. One day while out working, he happened upon a property near our home

Notes From The Nest

COMMUNITY PULSE

O O K I N G

A C K

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 65 Years Ago March 26, 1952 ■ Efforts to construct a new arena and community centre Napanee were continuing. M.S. Clark, an executive with Napanee Iron Works, was elected to serve as general chair of the committee exploring the possible project. The committee was in the process of developing plans for the new building, which would feature an artificial ice surface, as well as nailing down some approximate costs. The committee also resolved to have contractors appear at the next meeting to submit plans and suggestions relating to the project. ■ After a discussion on the matter at a special meeting, Napanee council resolved to take action to remedy a gasoline leak on Dundas Street. The leak was coming from two tanks underneath the sidewalk in front of the Napanee Creameries building. Arrangements were made for the Fire, Water and Light committee and the Street Committee to dump sand into the two bins to soak up the gasoline and thereby reduce the danger of fumes igniting.

35 Years Ago March 31, 1982 ■ Deseronto town council wasn’t taking any chances when it came to the danger of thin ice along its waterfront. Council elected to erect warning signs in its “foreshore” park on the Bay of Quinte, alerting residents and visitors to stay off the ice. The signs were posted because of some near tragic accidents on the bay over the past few weeks. A Deseronto man went fishing on the bay, driving his truck out onto the ice. Unfortunately for the angler, the ice wasn’t sufficient to support the weight of the truck; it broke through and sunk. Some councillors remarked that, in the past, no such warnings were needed, but for some reason, local residents seemed more willing to risk a trip out onto the frozen bay. ■ Local MPP James Taylor announced that plans were in the works to install a new 230 KV hydroelectric cable underneath the Long Reach/Green Point section of the Bay of Quinte. The new transmission line would connect the Lennox Generating Station with the transformer station in Prince Edward County. The line would replace a temporary abovewater 44 KV line that was in place. A submarine line would be more “esthetically” pleasing for local residents, he said, and wouldn’t endanger any air traffic.

Special Olympics programs. Burtch said of all courses to be offered to Special Olympics coaches, the one she took for swimming was perfectly timed. “It was really valuable. I realized I’ve learned a lot now and I feel confident in the pool, helping them out a little bit even though I don’t have a lot of expertise,” she said. Different strokes, techniques, starting positions and turning strategies are among the skills Burtch is helping her athletes improve. Burtch said water safety is a main priority, with emerging swimmers learning the basics through the use of swimming aids and games. Lennox and Addington Special Olympics also offers basketball, bowling, curling, floor hockey, golf and softball programs throughout the year. The swim team has members ranging from age eight to 70.

Sunday night practices are held in Amherstview and swimmers will get to bond on the bus as they head to their first-ever meet at the Brockville YMCA this Sunday. “This will be a really good one for us to start and get an idea of what the swim meets are all about and we’ll be better prepared for meets in the future,” Burtch said. The day will see 14 of 20 Lennox and Addington swimmers compete in two to five races against other Special Olympics teams from eastern Ontario. Although a few athletes haven’t yet reached the required skill level to compete, Burtch said only 10 or 12 people were originally expected to register for the season as a whole. “We were able to tap into some swimmers in the Amherstview area who are very close by,” she said, adding that some new swimmers have since looked into other Lennox and Addington

‘Irish Roots’ go deep at L&A museum BY JUSTIN MEDVE Student Reporter

The Kingston-based trio Irish Roots has made a few changes to how they put on a show over their decade as a band, but one thing has definitely stayed the same — the ability to make audiences tap their toes and clap their hands. The band will again be bringing its blend of traditional Irish covers and more to Napanee for the Lennox

and Addington Museum and Archives’ next Night at the Museum event tonight. In recent years, Irish Roots have performed at The Loaf N’ Ale and Waterfront Pub and Terrace. Lead vocalist, guitar and tin whistle player Paul Gillespie said great times were had at those shows, but the band is now making an effort to play in venues more dedicated to music than mingling. “When you go to the bars, you’re facing a whole bank of TVs and half the

people are watching hockey games, baseball games or whatever,” he said, adding that it’s easier to get the crowd moving at a music festival or charitable venue. Gillespie said often not finishing shows until 2 a.m. was an issue too. He explained both other members had full-time jobs: fiddle and mandolin player Mary Kennedy teaches fiddle to upwards of 15 students and bass and bodhrán (Irish frame drum) player Brent Schneider is a full-

If a person or public body that files an appeal of a decision of the Committee in respect of the proposed consent(s) or minor variance(s) does not make a written submission to the Committee before it gives or refuses to give a provisional consent or approval the Ontario Municipal Board may dismiss the appeal.

If you wish to be notified of the decision of the Committee of Adjustment in respect of the proposed consent(s) or minor variance(s), you must submit a written request to the Committee of Adjustment. This will also entitle you to be advised of a possible Ontario Municipal Board hearing. Even if you are the successful party, you should request a copy of the decision since the Committee of Adjustment decision may be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board by the applicant or another member of the public.

This means adjusting their setup on the fly, sharing vocals and deciding what instruments suit a song best — sometimes just as an audience member calls it out. “Everybody plays at least two instruments,” Gillespie said. “We like to have a pretty good mix when we go because there’s always somebody looking for something.” Covers aside, Irish Roots has only released one album that they don’t often play songs from. Gillespie said although the band usually has some original song ideas up their sleeve, they’d rather be on the road than in a studio. “We’re not looking for the big record break. We’re just happy playing weekends and enjoying ourselves,” he said. The band has also not lost sight of how passions for Irish culture brought its members together in the first place. “It’s just kind of evolved over time, so we actually play a very wide range of music now. But for me, the focus of the group is still Irish music,” Gillespie said. Fans of the Irish Rovers, Flogging Molly, Great Big Sea, Stan Rogers and plenty in-between can pick up Irish Roots tickets at the museum’s doors shortly before the show starts at 7 p.m. tonight. HOMETOWN COUNTRY JAMBOREE… Come on out and join us on our next show this Saturday with the Hometown Country Jamboree. Doors open at 6 p.m., show at 7 p.m. at the Napanee Lions Hall. This time to help us celebrate our 10th anniversary with our jamboree of wonderful classic country tunes are Sheila Bedard, Rick Amair and Garnet Hart with non other than our emcee Joe Saunders and our very own band Heartland Country.

Easter will come early to the Lennox and Addington Museum and Archives this Saturday as artists Chrissy Poitras and Oksana Hawrylak will be on hand to demonstrate the Ukrainian art of pysanky. Using eggs as their canvas, they will create intricate designs not with paint, but with beeswax. “Instead of painting on the eggs or blocking out faces on the eggs like you would with a more Western approach to egg dying and Easter egg making, you’re

kind of doing like a batik process,” explains Poitras, who owns Spark Box Studio in Picton. “You’re taking hot wax and melting it in this tiny little pot at the top of a stick. The stick kind of looks like a pencil. You’re drawing onto the egg with your melted pot of wax. You’re traditionally doing a folk art imagery but ultimately you could draw whatever you like.” Once the drawing is complete, the artists will heat the egg over a candle and rub off all the wax to reveal the pattern imprinted onto the shell. “It’s very different,” said Poitras. “Oksana is Ukrainian so she’s going to be bringing imagery and examples that show the traditionally folk art pattern that they would see from these types of eggs in the Ukraine. It’s actually quite impressive the amount of detail and patterning you can do.” Along with watching the demonstration, children will have opportunity to invent

An example of the finished product. their own designs and create their own art using paper. Some pre-made eggs will be available for sale if anyone wishes to try their own designs at home. The event is suitable for anyone aged four and older.

VOTING FROM PAGE 1 Of the 13 people who opted to speak on the matter, seven voiced their opinion to keep the ward system, three wanted to move to at-large, two suggested a referendum and one was undecided. That was a stark contrast to the Feb. 21 meeting, in which the majority of speakers at town hall pushed for at-large voting. At both meetings, those in attendance were given the option of writing their thoughts on paper to submit to council. Les Howell, a rural resident who took part in the recent Greater Napanee tax policy review, pushed for atlarge voting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to say that one of the things that really struck me during the hearings was a feeling that the wards donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting their fair shake from the rest of the municipality,â&#x20AC;? said Howell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are walls, there are fences between the ward and the town proper. I think part of community building is those walls have to come down. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long time now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going back. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to move on on a positive note. I really do think if we

T H E take down those walls and we elect officials on an at-large system, that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get the cream of the crop and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look out for the entire municipality, not just the wards.â&#x20AC;? Another member of the taxation review committee, Charles Milne, also felt it was time to do away with the ward system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to move on and abandon the ward system,â&#x20AC;? said Milne, citing a divide that was created during the urban and rural tax dispute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There needs to be some significant initiative to unite the community.â&#x20AC;? John McCormack was among those who wanted to keep the ward system, which has been in place since amalgamation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ward voting sys-

N A PA N E E

tems were introduced to ensure that the disparate regions would continue to be heard in local council chambers,â&#x20AC;? said McCormack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The need for a voice continues to be a key argument for the pro-ward system.â&#x20AC;? Though there are slightly more rural than urban residents amongst the Greater Napanee population, McCormack says that could mean fewer rural councillors get a seat at the table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moreso now that we are all taxed at the same rate, we need to have our interests heard,â&#x20AC;? said McCormack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If our town decides to elect council at large, that would mean the risk of having an elected council which would

be predominately if not completely formed by urban dwellers is quite possible. The reason is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much harder to rally support from residents that are spread out geographically as well as residents that are seasonal.â&#x20AC;? Terry Stark, another long-time resident, was happy to keep the status quo as well and urged council to at least let the people decide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personally I think we need representation in each ward,â&#x20AC;? said Stark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is any question to that, I think before town council does any-

thing it would be a mistake for them if they went ahead and made that change without an open vote.â&#x20AC;? Larry Holmes also threw his support behind a referendum on the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I strongly recommend that you at least the voter decide,â&#x20AC;? said Holmes, backed by applause from the audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the hurry? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been (using the ward system) for 20 years.â&#x20AC;? All of Greater Napanee council was in attendance, though only in a listening capacity. Mayor Gord Scher-

merhorn did speak briefly at the beginning of the meeting, but only to address a rumour that council had already made its decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to assure you that we have not made (any) decision,â&#x20AC;? he said. Notes in-hand from the meeting, the council members will continue to weigh their options before making a final decision with no more scheduled meetings on the matter as of yet. If council were to decide to switch to at large voting for the next election, they would have to pass the by-law by the end of 2017.

Tight games but no wins for Hawks at OFSAA Valuable experience for young Hawks

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

issed chances mixed with a visit from the injury bug kept the NDSS Golden Hawks girls hockey team winless at last week’s OFSAA championship, held in Mississauga. Though they went 0-3 over the three-day tournament, the coaching staff felt they were just a couple of bounces here or there away from a much deeper run. “We controlled a lot of the play and outshot opponents, it just didn’t work,” said Hawks head coach Chad Miller. “In the second game we lost by a goal and hit four posts, had a majority of play in their end and it was a team we had beaten in Toronto (in tournament play) earlier in the year.” Napanee opened the tournament with a 3-2 loss to Brooklin, followed by a 31 loss to Villanova, the last goal coming with an empty net. They closed out their tournament Thursday with

“I honestly think if we had the healthy team that we took to Toronto that we would have been competing for a medal,” said Miller. Missing a trio of key veterans, the Hawks coaching staff pushed its younger players up to the top line and they responded in a big way. Though they didn’t secure a win, they were competitive in all three games. “It’s a pretty big experience,” said Miller. “A lot of our players are Grade 9s and they were forced to play at a provincial level every other shift. A majority of Day 2 was all returning players. They got a lot of experience at a high level.” That experience could serve the team well as they’ll look to come back even stronger in 2018 looking to not only defend their KASSAA crown, but hope for a deep provincial run as File photo well.

passion for the game. For some it’s a chance to keep playing after they’ve graduated from junior hockey while others are returning to the game after decades away from the ice. For that reason he keeps the rules simple: no contact, no fighting and no slapshots. Off the ice he keeps a strict no beer

in the dressing room policy as well, ensuring that all the players arrive home safely from the arena. “The league has been very good for everyone,” said Tice. “We’ve got guys that have played junior hockey and bush league hockey. It’s a lot of good players.” Purely a recreational

league, Tice says the main focus is fun though he can be the bad guy when he has to in order to ensure the league runs smoothly. So much so that he’s jokingly earned the nickname ‘Jerry Bettman’ from players in the league. “I run a tight ship but you have to in order to keep

control of it,” said Tice. “Otherwise if you don’t stay on top of it you lose respect from the players. They all tell me I’m doing it right, even if they get mad at me. I must be doing something right or they wouldn’t keep coming back.”

takes great pride in his game calling. Prior to the game he likes to share a laugh with the players but come game time he calls the game down the middle with no favouritism. “Once I drop the puck it’s all business,” said Meecham. “It can get intense and sometimes I have to settle them down a bit but it’s all equal respect (between him and the play-

ers) and I love that.” Though teams play to win, the bottom line is all about simply playing for the love of the game. “As long as we get through the night and we have some fun and exercise, that’s all that matters,” said Meecham. The league will now head into its hiatus for the spring and summer season but will return again next fall.

Betty It Is Time To Come Away

The angels were watching that sunny spring day And listening for what their Master would say, Many requests to God were made and many prayed That dear Betty in His strong arms would be stayed. Betty, who had suffered and endured all things, Was longing to meet her Saviour and King. Then came the call in the morning that day, “Rise up, my beloved, it is time to come away.” So, with the angels her precious soul flew And all of her sufferings were finally through. Now Betty is rejoicing in Heaven above, But her family and friends sure miss her love.

Forever loved by her husband Allen, sons Daryl (Wendy), Daren (Lori), grandson Matthew and her four brothers and families and nieces Janna and Carla.

In VIVIAN YOUNG December 27, 1928 - April 1, 2013 In loving memory of a dear wife, mother and grandmother.

Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day, Useen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Peewee BB Crunch Playoff Bound In Toronto

Several local teams end with a win Beaver Sports

he Napanee Canadian Tire Atom Roster Selects won 6-3 in Uxbridge last Saturday. The visiting Stars led early on, but also trailed 3-2 after two periods before they rallied for four goals in the third to pull out the victory. Ryan Maracle led the way with three goals, while Adam Rochon netted two and Noah Nugent also scored. Cam Joyner was solid in net. Next up is a tournament tomorrow in Pickering. ■ The Napanee House League, competing in the Inter-Community League, ended its season with Championship Days in all divisions from novice to midget. Seventy-one teams from Napanee, Stirling, Gananoque, North Frontenac, Loyalist, Stone Mills, and Prince Edward County play in the league. Frontenac Arena outside Verona hosted novice teams; Henderson Arena in Amher-

stview was home to atom and bantam finals; peewee teams travelled to Stirling; and midget games were played in Wellington. In a one game, winner-take-all final, 31 championship games were played. ■ Two local teams travelled to the Baltimore area for the Cross Border Tournament on the weekend. The Napanee Peewee BBs ended their season by winning the B Division Final 4-1 over Oro. Earlier on Friday they faced a talented squad from Pembroke and fell 4-1. In a much stronger showing on Saturday, they defeated Mariposa 5-2 in Colborne, and also won 4-3 in Grafton. ■ The Bantam BBs were also there, losing the B Final game to Stayner 2-1. In round-robin, they had tied Norwood 3-3, shut out those same Stayner Cyclones 2-0, but fell 4-2 to their arch rivals North Frontenac to close out their tournament. It was a fine ending to an entertaining season of hockey.

affodil Month, held every April, is a national fundraising campaign of the Canadian Cancer Society. During the month, Society volunteers are involved in numerous activities to raise vital funds for the fight against cancer. Every three minutes another Canadian will hear the words “You have cancer” for the first time which profoundly alters lives and the Canadian Cancer Society urges Canadians to join with them during this time to change cancer forever. We ask Canadians to reflect upon the thousands of people who are living with cancer and to remember loved ones lost to cancer. During Daffodil Month we encourage Canadians to do something special for those living with cancer or to contribute in

To some the daffodil is just a flower. For us, it is a symbol of strength and courage. It says we will not give up. It says we will fight against cancer and we
