Time To Light Up The Season

Town gets early start on 2014 budget Council grapples with mounting expenses such as hydro, policing BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Adam Prudhomme-Staff

Downtown Napanee officially launched its second season of the Big Bright Light Show last Wednesday, illuminating the entire Dundas Street core between Robert Street and East Street. Carolers like Ty Bailey and Paige Rombough provided entertainment to the large crowd gathered on hand. The expanded event was again sponsored by TransCanada.

Greater Napanee council and staff held their first budget meeting for 2014 last week, which highlighted municipal and government grants, restrictions with the discontinuation of some grants in the future, and overall projected budget costs. Some areas of concern were hydro expenses and policing costs. The biggest major expense for the 2014 budget is currently service contracts, coming in at $586,400. Electricity follows closely behind, budgeted for $563,800, which was a hot topic for discussion during last Thursday’s budget meeting. Hydro accounts for 13 per cent of the proposed 2014 expense budget, with an additional $113,000 for heat, accounting for another three per cent of the budget. Ward 4 councillor Shaune Lucas shared his concerns regarding heat and hydro costs and asked how green energy initiatives would impact these numbers. Greater Napanee Chief Administrative Officer Ray Callery said staff is working on a report as part of the Green Energy Act to reduce energy costs for the municipality. However, Mayor Gord Schermerhorn told Callery that this should be prioritized immediately, as it has been ongoing for over a year. “Energy costs do have to be addressed. Ray (Callery), I thought we were getting a plan. I certainly hope in the next few weeks that does happen,” said Schermerhorn. “In the next couple of weeks, I want to see this get done and done very quickly. I don’t care what you do to get this done but this is something that has been delayed for the last, I’m pretty sure over year and a half, with our heat being $113,000 and our hydro $563,800 and we certainly have to keep the lights on, and I realize that, but there must be some efficiency that we can find.” Callery said a report would be brought to council for the next budget meeting. Other major expenses included maintenance at $409,000 for nine per cent of the budget, insurance at $479,700 for 11 per cent, contractors at $509,000 for 11 per cent, and materials (sand, salt, gravel, etc.) at $560,821 for 13 per cent of the budget.

Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory

Cancer cases not related to water, experts say BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

T least according to experts hired by the band council for the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, there’s no connection between the Tyendinaga Territory’s drinking water and recent cases of childhood cancer in the community. Flanked by toxicity and environmental engineering experts at a press conference at the band council offices last Thursday, MBQ Chief R. Donald Maracle said that studies commissioned by the council haven’t turned up any evidence that drinking water is to blame for a cluster of cancer cases in recent years. Maracle called the press conference only a matter of days after he had announced that the territory would be getting a new, almost $21 million water treatment plant that would service 66 homes on the territory along, with some administrative and community buildings. Water quality issues have been a source of concern on the territory for several decades; however, most of those concerns surrounded instances of bacteriological contamination rather than chemical contamination. Maracle indi-

cated that recent studies have shown that some 57 per cent of wells on the reserve have bacteriological contamination. However, three cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children connected to the reserve have caused considerable community concern. Some have suggested that the band council has been dragging its feet in confronting these water quality concerns. “We’ve looked at the environmental conditions on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, and the data that we have provided (with). We quite simply do not believe that the cases of ALL, as tragic as they are, are linked to environmental conditions in the territory, nor do we actually suspect any other health concerns based on the data that we have been provided and have reviewed,” said Christopher Ollson, vice president of strategic development for Intrinsik Environmental Sciences. Maracle said that the studies have focused on the Tyendinaga Mohawk School, where it was believed that a common thread could be found between the cases of ALL; the area surrounding the territory’s landfill, which closed in 2007; as well as the area around the terri-

tory’s airfield, which was used for training during the Second World War. Ollson said that his firm’s studies have relied on testing data from the past 20 years in assessing what, if any, risks existed with respect to chemical contaminants in the territory’s air and water. Ollson also said that while it’s unusual for three children to have contracted ALL in a short period of time, “it is not unusual that some communities will experience these types of outbreaks.” Finding an environmental trigger for these clusters has proven diffi-

cult. “The Center for Disease Control (in the U.S.) has done studies into this danger in the past, in communities such as (this), and they were not able to determine the cause of the ALL in these outbreaks,’ he said. “Simply put, we just don’t know much about ALL and why these outbreaks tend to occur.” Ollson said his firm has examined air and water testing results at the Quinte Mohawk School. “I’ve reviewed those results. Those results indicate that the air in the school is safe for the children to breath, and the water from the chemical

drinking water wells, or other areas.” Shipley also touched on concerns relating to fill material that had been used at the landfill site in 1993. “I believe that that material has not been the cause of any groundwater contamination, and that’s based on the results of the monitoring that we’ve been doing since 2000. We have not found that it has leached contaminants into the groundwater,” he said. Ollson noted that while benzene is linked to some forms of cancer, the substance is not known to cause ALL. Further, he said that even in those wells that have tested positive for benzene, the levels have been below or just above drinking water standards, and that individuals would need to be exposed over the course of decades to be at risk of developing cancer. “It isn’t anywhere near a concentration where we would say for certainty that (someone) would develop cancer from drinking that water, even over a long period of time,” he said. Maracle said the band council has been working as closely as possible with officials from Health Canada, local public health and other agencies. “The council has spent $281,000 to date hiring consultants to advise the council on this concern. We’ve taken the concern very seriously.” The chief also said that more environmental testing should be done. Further, he said that the council is working with Cancer Care Ontario and the Institute for Clinical Evaluation Studies to better track cancer cases in the area.

perspective is safe for the children to drink. We do not have concerns at this point for the Quinte Mohawk School.” Kevin Shipley, a partner with XCG Environmental Engineers and Scientists, said his firm has conducted testing of wells around the territory’s areas of concern, such as the territory’s landfill. He did say, however, that results from testing wells around the landfill site suggest that the landfill isn’t impacting areas around the site. Relating to a concern that the landfill site might be contaminating the school’s water supply, Shipley said that the school is “up-gradient” from the landfill — in other words, groundwater is flowing away from the landfill south toward the Bay of Quinte, and not north toward the school which is just over a kilometer away. “There really is no way for groundwater from the area of the landfill to travel up to the school and have an impact on the school,” he said. Shipley said that, in some of the wells near the landfill, his firm has detected small amounts of benzene, a carcinogenic substance; however, given that the test results came from some of the deepest wells, he said it’s most likely the benzene is naturally occurring due to “petroleum associated with shale bedrock at greater depths.” Shipley said, “We do not have any indication that any of the landfill contaminants have leached into the groundwater and flowed offsite to have an impact on any nearby

Tim Nimigan publishes ‘Our Town’ compilation BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

For the last decade, Tim Nimigan has been making Napanee Beaver readers laugh at the all-too-familiar scenarios he depicts in his bi-weekly cartoon ‘Our Town’. To celebrate his 10-year run he has compiled the entire collection into a softcover book titled Our Town: A View of Life in a Small Town and Beyond, which he’ll officially launch Dec. 7. All told, the book contains more than 230 cartoons that originally appeared in this paper. “The cartoons are basically about all our foibles and idiosyncrasies as a smalltown, rural community,” said Nimigan. “They have a broader appeal than that, but the cartoons and the book would especially appeal to anyone familiar with small rural communities. Although a lot of them are Napanee-inspired in one way or another, you could put a lot of the cartoons in another small town paper and they would still get them.” A chance meeting with Beaver publisher Jean Morrison back in 2003 at the post office lead to the launch of ‘Our Town’. The paper just happened to have an opening for a cartoonist and he was full of ideas having lived in the town for 30 years. Whenever he’s short on an idea he’ll simply drive through the town and keep his eyes peeled for inspiration. Long-time residents would easily identify the Napanee-inspired backgrounds in many of the cartoons. “There are times when I would say I

probably cross into editorial,” said Nimigan. “There’s a real, I guess you would say, art, to getting your point across and not having it hurt.” Landing a joke without offending anyone in just a single picture and a caption isn’t easy, but he loves the challenge. “I really want people to laugh at this and not get angry about them,” he said of poking fun with the town, not at it. Astute readers have probably noticed some common traits to Nimigan’s cartoons — namely the appearance of a dog and the name ‘Laura’ scribbled into the background of every comic. “My daughter (Kayla) always wanted a dog, I never wanted a dog. That was my concession to her was to get a dog in the cartoon,” said Nimigan. “After I did that first cartoon I thought I should do something for my other daughter too, so there’s Laura’s name hidden somewhere. From time to time if someone gives me an idea that I do run with, their name might be in there too.” Along with a forward by Beaver editor Seth DuChene, the book also contains comments and insights provided by Nimigan and his family. The official launch will take place Dec. 7 at Coffee Cravings, located at 86 John St. W in Napanee, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The author will be on hand for a meet and greet as well as to sign some books. Copies of the book, which retails for $19.95, are now available at in town at Starlet, Mainstay Natural Foods, Coffee Cravings, Cardriff Creations, Home Hardware and Mayhew Jewellers.

Good things baking at Macpherson House Baking workshop for families offered this Saturday BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

This weekend, the Macpherson House is offering a workshop for families looking to learn about baking for the holidays, in a style typical to the 1800s. Children are invited to bake holiday treats on the hearth with their loved ones this Saturday. Christmas baking will take place from 1-3 p.m., at a cost of $15 for an adult and two children. “Kids don’t do a lot of baking anymore so I thought this would be a good idea. We’ll have the fire going and the kids will be able to roll out dough and make sugar cookies and decorate them,” said Macpherson House curator Karen Price.

Ashley Espinoza-Staff

Karen Price says that participants in this Saturday’s family baking workship will learn about the baking methods and recipes common in the 1800s.

Sugar cookies and ginger cake will be baked and tasted during this workshop, made from recipes dating back to the 1800s. “We’ll actually cook the baked goodies in the hearth and talk about the ingredients that go into the simple traditional foods and the recipes we carry on from our own grandparents,” said Price. Traditional baking ideas will be given to children to take home and try with their parents and grandparents. “We’ll also talk about the holidays and the season and how it differs from then to today and how things were much simpler back then. (Christmas gifts) then would have been an orange, compared to an XBox today. We’ll talk about the differences and what we do at home to make things special for the holidays,” said Price. Interpretations of what the Macpherson’s would have eaten, given as gifts and how they would have decorated the house will also be taught. “We’ll talk about the Macpherson’s Scottish traditions: what the family would have received as Christmas gifts, what the kids would have been doing (during) Christmas time, the type of activities that would have been going on in the house, how they would have celebrated and decorated the house…” and other traditions, explained Price. A tour will be provided where children can compare current Christmas decorations: tinsel and decorative glass balls now compared to decorations then: fresh pine and a kissing ball. Those interested in participating should register in advance by calling Price at the Macpherson House: 613354-5982.

EDITORIAL

A pall on polling Based on Monday night’s by-election results in the Manitoba riding of Brandon-Souris, some are suggesting that the time has come to ban the publication of polls during an election campaign. We think that’s a great idea. A day or so before that by-election, one polling firm, Forum, reported that the Liberal candidate in the riding, Rolf Dinsdale, had a 29-point lead over his Conservative rival Larry Maguire. The fact that the Liberal candidate had such a commanding lead in a traditionally Conservative riding was certainly worthy of a raised eyebrow. Well, if any Liberal partisans saw that poll as being too good to be true, they were right. Dinsdale had a pretty good showing in Brandon-Souris on Monday night — he increased the Liberals’ share of the vote in that riding greatly compared to the previous election result — but it wasn’t quite good enough to beat the Tory. And, he certainly wasn’t anywhere near the 29-point projection Forum was giving him. We’re not sure why Forum got it so wrong, but at this point, pre-election polling is proving to be too problematic to be used by anyone. Monday’s by-election was just the latest example of a poll gone wrong. Only a few months ago, the British Columbian Liberals were preparing to be turfed from office, based on pre-elections polls that showed that the NDP were a lock to defeat the Grits and take over the reins of power there. However, the pollsters were wrong — not only did Christy Clark and the Liberals win, but they won enough seats to form a majority government. There have been questions about the methodology of the polls in question. Indeed, there should be standards for polling companies to ensure comparable, common approaches to assessing the voting mood of the electorate. However, polls just leading up to and during campaigns have their own host of problems, regardless of whether they are accurate or not. We’ve never thought that polls commissioned during the middle of an election campaign were helpful. In theory, voters should cast a ballot for the party or candidate they think will do the best job of representing them. How motivating is it, then, when you hear that, ‘based on the latest polls’, the party or candidate you prefer doesn’t have a hope in winning the election? It might — and we’d wager quite often does — prompt a voter to either switch their voting preference to the candidate who has a better chance to win, or to stay home altogether. Perhaps a ban on campaign-period polling is extreme. Perhaps the electorate will self-correct without such a step having to be taken. Given the latest polling failures, we could see voters choosing to take a much more guarded approach when they read the latest poll. Or, they might choose to disregard them altogether.

Keeping ag businesses, government talking What happens when you invite individuals representing every farm and food processor in Ontario to pick the top five regulations that are impacting business? That’s the question the Ontario Federation of Agriculture asked when the provincial government selected us to lead consultations for the agriculture and agri-food sector in 2010. The Open for Business initiative was undertaken by the Government of Ontario to establish a collaborative relationship between government and key business stakeholders to drive economic activity. As the leading advocate for Ontario farmers, the OFA took the reins in this initiative and spearheaded consulta-

Relationships with the Ministry of Finance have also improved, that will lead to lower input costs for Ontario grain farmers. The OFA thanks Steven Del Duca, parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Finance for leading the review of farm property assessment issues. His pending report to the Minister of Finance will recommend a change in farm property classification of commercial grain elevators (located offfarm), which have historically been assessed as industrial rather than commercial properties. The assessment is expected to change in January 2014, and will reduce grain drying costs — and consequently, farm inputs — for Ontario grain farmers. Ontario’s growing aquaculture sector looks forward to a win related to licencing aquaculture operations. This sector presented its concerns through the Open for Business consultation process, triggering meetings with OMAF, OFA and the Ministry of Natural Resources. Discussions focused on extending aquaculture licences from five to 20 years. OFA is pleased with the progress the Open for Business consultations have made in discussing and addressing red tape issues that will support successful farming and agri-businesses in Ontario. We continue to meet up to four times a year with related ministry staff to raise issues and identify items requiring follow-up from specific ministries. The OFA will continue to facilitate these discussions for as long as there is a need — to ensure prosperous and sustainable farms. Mark Wales is president of the OFA.

Frank, Deena Streek left mark on L&A Philanthropist, entrepreneur, author, change agent; these are but a few of the descriptors by those who knew Frank Streek. When talking about him with long-time friend Anne Gunter, one quickly wishes to have known him. The same can be said for his spouse Deena who was also committed to helping others. Frank and Deena made a lasting impression on their communities in South Africa and Canada. Frank was born in Enfield, England on July 10, 1921 and migrated, with his mother and two siblings, to South Africa in 1929 where he earned an honours bachelor, master and doctor of commerce in business economics degrees in his adulthood. He also attended and graduated from the Harvard School of Business. Frank was the general manager of the Daily Dispatch newspaper where he employed non-white journalists on equal terms as their white counterparts. Frank and Deena left South Africa in 1978 after Frank retired from the Daily Dispatch They joined Carl (Deena’s brother) and Catherine Clayton’s hog farming enterprise at Hay Bay. In 1975 Frank and Deena settled at Napanee. Using the skills and knowledge of his background

in commerce, Frank founded what became the very successful investment firm Money Concepts. Those in the business community remember the breakfast meetings that he organized. He took ‘networking’ to a new level by bringing together people from a variety of avenues to exchange ideas so that each would have a better understanding of their community. Frank volunteered on various boards. He was president of the Family and Children’s Services Board for many years. He served on the Police Services Board until his illness last December. In the early 2000s, he was a director with the Napanee District Community Foundation. He volunteered his time with a number of local organizations including Amnesty International, the Lennox and Addington Historical Society and The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 137. The latter honoured him with a life membership. Most recently, he received the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee medal. A letter to the editor of The Beaver from Jim Barber following Frank’s death succinctly states what many in the community believe, “In my many encounters with this fine gentleman over the past five years, I always came away impressed with his class, intelligence, wit and his

absolute and unparalleled commitment to making the community a better place”. Deena Streek (née Clayton), was born in Eshowe, South Africa, on June 9, 1921, where she was raised on her parents’ sugar plantation. Upon completing her formal education, Deena became a primary schoolteacher. In keeping with her deeply compassionate nature she taught at schools that served the underprivileged. One of the many notable accomplishments of Deena was her involvement with the non-violent white women’s organization called ‘Black Sash’. They used the relative safety of their privileged racial classification to speak out against the erosion of human rights in their country. Here in Napanee, Deena gave generously of her time with the Lennox and Addington Hospital Foundation, the Hospital Auxiliary, the Lennox and Addington Historical Society and Amnesty International. The Napanee Rotary Club recognized her commitment to the community by awarding her the Paul Harris Fellowship. Education for others was a passion of both Frank and Deena. It was their belief that an educated person has a better chance in life and would also participate effectively in society, particularly in

South Africa, where they have set up three education trusts in addition to the endowment fund for Family and Children’s Services through the Streek Family Fund at Napanee District Community Foundation. Their interest in helping those who otherwise could not afford to participate in school without some financial assistance was based on personal experience. Daughter, Jocelyn, relates that her dad “after finishing school, lost a full scholarship to university due to his mother’s accommodation relocation. The letter advising Frank of his scholarship was not redirected. Consequently, Frank had to study at night for his degrees, work hard during the day and had scant money for anything. He understood the challenges to education and he certainly reaped the rewards for his efforts.” As Frank and Deena did throughout their lives, they will continue to give to their community posthumously. Part of the settlement of their estate includes a $100,000 donation to the Napanee District Community Foundation to support children and youth working with Family and Children’s Services.

Return to the big anthill I took my brother out to dinner early this month. It is something I do every year at this time, in celebration of yet another birthday. In his case, his 76th. How did we get old, so fast? It seems like only a few years ago we would take off on a Sunday afternoon, and visit some special place on the farm. Eight years separated my brother and me in age, but that never seemed to make a difference when it came to enjoying the simple pleasures of life on the farm. He was always around to introduce me to these things, even after he left the farm in 1955 to work in Belleville. On weekends, he would come home, and off we’d go again to seek out something new, or simply enjoy special places on the farm that we had visited many times before. One of our favourite destinations was the “big anthill”. This ant hill had a couple of characteristics about it that made it special enough that it would always beckon our return. The structure was huge, but its main attraction was its horseshoe shape, taking up a space at least seven feet long by four feet in depth. Like a house built to take advantage of a southern exposure, this structure was perfectly aligned to face a

field that never changed over the years we farmed, because of its value for wiregrass hay, the caviar of forage crops back then. A truly amazing structure that even as a budding naturalist, I realized was a bit out of the ordinary. Those who have a copy of my book, “Up Before Five – the Family Farm” will have seen a photo my brother took of me at 10 years of age, pointing to it, almost dwarfed by the structure and the grasses that grew beside it. Some 60 years later, I am still visiting that anthill. The fence bottom at the location has changed little, but the field beside it that once grew some of our best wiregrass hay has since succumbed to ash saplings and scrub bushes, and is now more difficult to reach. Amazingly, the ant hill is still there. The horseshoe shape has been retained, but is now more a series of smaller colonies, broken by open spaces and tall grasses. No longer is it the continuous horseshoe I remember so well, and is but a fraction of the original structure. Many generations of ants have come and gone, and if only the ones that remain could reminisce about their ancestors and what possessed them to construct such an unusu-

Outdoor Rambles al shape. The “big anthill” comes to mind whenever I walk the Menzel Centennial Nature Reserve near West Plain, and pass by the huge domes upon approach to the lake. There are perhaps a dozen here and there beside the trail, many of them crowned with dense horsetails, for this is a rather moist area, along the edge of a fen. It seems like such an odd environment in which to find ant hills, as their lair is a series of underground chambers, connected to each other and the surface of the earth by small tunnels. Has food lured these ants to this wet

location, and have they somehow evolved to relocate their nurseries, food storage room, and living space, elevated high above the questionable earth that might otherwise be dank at the best of times, and become flooded during spring? Is this why these domes are so high? Did these domes happen out of necessity, and if so, from where did they obtain the material, if not from below the surface? Normally the colony is built and constructed by legions of worker ants that tirelessly carry microscopic bits of soil and other material in their mandibles, near the exit of the colony, thereby forming an anthill. Was this material brought in from afar to supplement the material excavated from their now above ground tunnels? There are many species of ants in fields and forest, occupying several ecological roles. Perhaps this is one of them. Some are scavengers, others predators, and some like those at my oriole feeder in summer on the sundeck are nectar feeders. Whatever the species, they are social creatures that form these large colonies by caste, a complex social distinction comprising a single queen who is

cared for by thousands of energetic and committed workers. They gather the food, care for the larvae, and attend the queen. For lack of a more descriptive term, there may also be “soldiers” whose job it is to defend the colony against invasion. That communication is a strong attribute is obvious by their decision to build in this moist environment and work out a solution that would keep the colony high and dry no matter what the conditions. Their communication must be an elaborate biochemistry, and likely succeeds through emitting pheromones, certainly a method used to signal a trail to food. Perhaps it works in communicating during construction as well. At 10 years of age, I doubt that I gave the process much thought when my brother and I would stare in wonderment at the “big anthill” on our farm. We just knew it was special.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 80 Years Ago November 29, 1933 n The County Convention of the Ontario Prohibition Union met in Napanee, where members outlined their concerns with the provincial government’s plan to allow the sale of beer and wine by the glass. The main part of the day-long meeting was an “oratorical contest” between five local students, who discussed the merits of temperance. In the end, Robin Fluke of Newburgh won the contest with his presentation, ‘Temperance by Education.’ According to the Beaver report, Fluke “approached his subject in a novel way and worked out his ideas in logical sequence.” n Napanee Town Council held a joint meeting with the Public Utilities Commission to discuss the possible extension of water and electrical services in town. Among those taking part in the meeting were C.A. Walters, the manager of the local hydro system, and A. L Dafoe, the manger of the Waterworks Department. The group resolved to seek out estimates for extending services.

35 Years Ago November 29, 1978 n Secondary school teachers with the Lennox and Addington County Board of Education were to get a five-per-cent wage increase in their 1978-1979 contract. The deal was ratified by both the school board and the teachers’ union. The new contract was expected to cost the board almost $263,000 more than the previous year’s contract. Apart from the salary increases, the agreement called for no increases in allowances for positions of responsibility, no increases in fringe benefits and no improvement in the education leave improvement plan. n Local MPP James Taylor was pressing the Ontario government to consider reducing the annual vehicle licence fee to $10 — the fee which was being charged to residents in northern Ontario. He argued that residents in eastern Ontario were facing similar economic difficulties as those living in the northern part of the province. Taylor asked Ontario Transportation and Communication Minister and fellow Progressive Conservative MPP James Snow to consider the change; Snow said that such a move would have to be discussed with Ontario Treasurer Frank Miller.

Ron Tasker stands in the former store portion of Bath’s historic Ham House. Tasker is planning to open a pub at the site by this time next year.

Bath’s Historic Ham House undergoing restoration Two-century-old building will house new pub and apartments BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Bath’s historic Ham House, which was used as a store and tavern in the early 1800s, is being restored. A pub and upper-level apartment building should both be finished next year. Ron Tasker and Bonnie Crook bought the house three years ago and have been working on it since. They have discovered historical items there dating back to 1795. “We bought it three years ago and basically the bottom of the house was all rotting and it was in really bad shape. Since we love old architecture, we decided we were going to restore it and open a pub and a three-bedroom apartment upstairs,” said Crook. Tasker said they have discovered a number of great items, from graffiti to 1840 newspapers, to original architectural markings and even a bullet hole. “The exterior is very contemporary for the time, but the interior is old fashioned. The timber ceilings were meant to be exposed with beat planks underneath. That was not typical for that time, typical for that

time was plaster. This is circa 1700 American Colonial. So, they were obviously trying to send a message that, ‘we’re old school, you can do business with us. We’re to be trusted.’ They were the sons of Loyalists,” explained Tasker, while standing in the section of the building that was used as a store and a tavern over the years. By carefully removing layers of wallpaper and modern materials, Tasker said he was able to determine exactly how the store was set up. “It’s intact. We have everything. We can see where the shelves were, how big they were, where the counter was…” he said. George Ham built the house around 1816; however, Tasker said the summer kitchen, a separate building behind the house, dates back to 1806. But he has found items in the house dating back further than that, to as early as 1795. He believes the foundation of the Ham House was built before the war and put on hold and finished after the War of 1812. During the years of 1840 and 1853 the building had a tavern license. Markings show a side door was added to the store section, where a tap house would have been. Here,

in the lower part of the wall, a bullet hole can be seen, which Tasker explained would have been shot from within the tavern. The tavern and store is classic upper Canadian, whereas the residence off of the store is Georgian. “Every room has different millwork. The flooring is different; everything is different. What that is, is rooms are finished according to their status,” he said. In a Georgian house, like the Ham House, the dining room and master bedroom would have been the most important rooms. These rooms show original narrow floorboards, detailed wood trim and decorated walls. Wallpaper downstairs dates back to 1853, while some upstairs dates back to 1840 and earlier; with small, hand-printed wallpaper panels imported from England. Tasker said the only pre-Victorian wallpaper known of to date is at Upper Canada Village. “Now we have another one,” he said. “I’m certain it’s pre-Victorian.” Crook and Tasker hope to officially open the Ham House up in the fall as a breakfast bar and then as a pub by Christmas 2014.

As a reward for completing a downtown business scavenger hunt, Bandit’s Jessie Buxton (far left) provided a free baked potato lunch to NDSS students (from left) Mackenzie Vermilyea, Kassidy Miller, Amy Gullins and Michaela Lasher with their Business teacher Nancy Savage.

NDSS students go on downtown business scavenger hunt BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

DSS business students were on a high tech scavenger hunt last Thursday, using co-ordinates to explore Napanee’s downtown. Using global positioning satellite technology as

well as written clues, the Grade 9 and 10 students raced against each other to find the final co-ordinates. Each clue led them to a downtown store where they found a number, be it a phone digit or address. When they collected all the numbers they had the coordinates for Bandits, the final mystery destination. The first group to get there had a free lunch waiting for them. “We wanted them to see they could get everything they need here in downtown Napanee,” said Nancy Savage, one of NDSS’ Business teachers. “We do a lot of projects with economic development because we think it’s good to recognize students are going to be the next wave of entrepreneurs.” NDSS’ Business department teamed with Lennox and Addington economic development officer

Rob Plumley to help design the geocache-like course. Geocaching has become a huge part of the county’s tourism marketing strategy with several caches hidden throughout the region. That helped spawn the idea to turn the hunt into a digital one. Savage had done a similar scavenger hunt in years past, but this was the first time they used GPS co-ordinates instead of just written clues. “It was really cool to introduce them to that new technology,” said Savage. Many of the students had never experienced geocaching before. Because smartphones are now an integral part of business, Savage felt it was a great opportunity to get the students to explore their capabilities. Many of the students have one already and that number is likely to

keep rising. For the purposes of the hunt, each group was provided with an Android device. As an added benefit, the county is hoping that students will keep downtown Napanee in mind when it comes to their holiday shopping. For students who don’t spend much time on Dundas Street the scavenger hunt was an eye opener. Many students commented that they weren’t aware some of those shops were available in Napanee. That knowledge could also come in handy for students when they are exploring parttime job opportunities or even down the road if they plan to open up their own business. Savage says the success of this year’s hunt means they will hold a similar search next semester.

L&A 4-H Club wraps up year with awards 2013 marked by big events and achievements BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

at The Napanee Mall and have your picture taken!

Members of Lennox and Addington 4-H celebrated the year that was at the club’s annual awards banquet at the South Fredericksburgh Community Hall this past Sunday. According to L&A 4-H vice-president Dave Goodfellow, the club did see a small drop in membership, but that was offset by other positive developments. “Overall we’ve had a great year again. We’ve had a number of clubs. Our membership was down a little bit this year, but we did get a lot of new members that came out, and we hope to see even more new members next year,” he said. Among the highlights of the past year included the club’s participation in

national 4-H centennial, as well as taking part in Odessa, Centreville and Napanee Fairs. “As well, the association, in the spring, was involved in the Talents of the Town, which happens every once in a while at Market Square. We had some animals there, and we provided crafts for kids in the area, and allowed kids to come and make crafts for the day,” he said. Besides heaping praise on 4-H members for their achievements over the past year, executive members also urged more parents to get involved and volunteer with the club. “Just lead one club, and you’ll be hooked. I guarantee it,” said past president Dave McNicholls. “We have a choice when our kids come into this thing, where we can jump

in with both feet and help support our children. If you’re going to be there anyways when you drop off the kids, you might as well get involved,” said Goodfellow. “If you have a great idea for a new club, bring it to us and we’ll see what you can do to get it going.” Goodfellow noted that the L&A Club’s new ‘Introduction to Blacksmithing’ club is getting attention across the country, reporting that Alberta 4-H has contacted club leader Jon Leonhardt in the hope of replicating the club in that province. The club executive also used the awards banquet to thank all those local businesses that have sponsored the 4-H over the past year, as well as those volunteers who have come forward to lend a hand with 4H activities.

and understanding — to encourage the idea that you can work at home, and foster civic engagement at home, because often people think you have to go somewhere far to help but really there’s so much you can do within your own community,” said Clatworthy. She said the program has had a positive affect on many people she knows, bringing volunteerism back home to many Canadian cities and towns. “There are so many people I know that have done this program who then go home and they volunteer in their communi-

ties. It’s meant to be a lifelong thing. The program is only six months but you learn so much from it that carries over for a lifetime.” The exchange students range in ages from 18 to 26. They arrived in Canada on Halloween after three months in Bolivia. They will leave mid-January. Part of the program is to learn about the culture and history of the area. Last Wednesday, all participants took part in educational tours of Bath’s Ham House, a store built around 1816, and the FairfieldGutzeit House, a residence built in 1793.

Greater Napanee

Council seeks to beef up downtown lighting

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

REATER Napanee council has identified downtown lighting as a major concern. A motion has been made to set aside funds from the 2014 budget to improve lighting. The current lights cost council about $130,000. During Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular meeting, some council members regretted to admit the lights are just not sufficient.

being seen as a safe and friendly place to visit during the evening hours. Poorly lit downtowns are uninviting and give an impression of not being open for business, which as we all know could not be further from the truth with our town. We also feel it poses a potential health and safety risk,â&#x20AC;? the letter reads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The BIA is currently finalizing an illumination inventory list and is looking to work with downtown merchants to fix individual lighting issues,â&#x20AC;? the letter goes on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Napanee BIA cannot stress enough how important we feel this issue is and we urge council to consider the long lasting positive effects that improved illumination can have upon downtown

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel kind of bad that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done this project and now the lights are no good but I have to agree, the lighting is poor. Someway, somehow we have to find the money in our budget to do that,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Gord Schermerhorn. The issue was brought forward by the Downtown Napanee Business Improvement Area in a letter dated Nov. 8 to ask council to prioritize improving downtown lighting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The BIA feels this is vital to our downtown

Napanee, which would include increased traffic and lower vacancy rates.â&#x20AC;? Ward 5 Councillor Shaune Lucas stated the BIA is also approaching downtown business owners to help improve downtown lighting on their own properties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The BIA is actively and independently (trying) to get all the merchants and property owners to light up their buildings. There (are) gaps downtown and signs burnt out and showroom lights not being left on, so the BIA in addition to coming to council is talking to downtown property owners as well,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things are looking great downtown, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new businesses opening up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; almost all the stores are now filled.â&#x20AC;?

Ward 4 Councillor Bill Pierson explained it would take more than buying new light fixtures but believes it is an expense council needs to budget for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This letter (from the BIA) is not to complain about downtown but in the hopes that in our budget discussions there might be some room for improvements in the lighting. I realize there are two things that needs to be done, one is an upgrade to the wiring system and subsequent to that the lights can be improved,â&#x20AC;? he said. Ray Callery, Chief Administrative Officer for Greater Napanee, said lighting has been addressed by management and it is being reviewed. Town staff is looking for ways to save money, while

also providing improved lighting for downtown. Callery said a report would be brought to council in a few months. Callery also added it is a combination of light fixture height, separation and watts that result in poor lighting downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a great deal of light at night. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lovely lights. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if they can be altered or changed in some way to make them so they can give off more light because I know we spent a lot of money on those,â&#x20AC;? said Deputy Mayor Roger Cole. Councillor Bill Pierson moved that council accept the letter from the BIA and set aside money in the budget to upgrade the lights, which was carried by council.

Deseronto

Stuff The Truck

Support local businesses, mayor urges BY ASHLEY FOLEY Staff Reporter

Deseronto Mayor Norm Clark hinted that new businesses may be opening in the municipality soon and encouraged people to shop local to support all local businesses owners. “It’s only by supporting our own businesses that our own businesses are going to grow. And if business people outside of the community see that Deseronto is doing well, then they’re more likely to come and do business in Deseronto and maybe open some businesses,” he said during a Nov. 19 council meeting. He said many living in

Deseronto, himself included, do lots of shopping outside of the town. However, Clark said people should support local business and purchase what they can locally before going to a store outside of Deseronto. “I’m guilty of it as well, we go out of town and we buy things but if we can buy things from our business people in town, because they are the ones that are investing money and time in Deseronto and I think it’s only right that we should be supportive of the local businesses before we go out of town and support other businesses,” said Clark. “I would ask council to go out and spread the word to have the people of

Deseronto shop in Deseronto. We have everything here, basically, that other communities have. We have appliance and drug stores, we have really good restaurants in town, a convenience store, so spread the word and make Deseronto your home shopping base.” He said more news on new businesses coming to Deseronto might be available at the Dec. 17 council meeting. “Perhaps at the next council meeting in December we’ll have a lot more to say about the new businesses that I’m pretty sure everyone in Deseronto will be quite pleased with what’s happening,” he said.

Greater Napanee Fire Services’ Kevin Duncan shows off some of the toys the department has collected for its Stuff The Truck challenge. They’re asking members of the community to drop off new, unwrapped toys to the station at 66 Advance Ave to help fill their truck. They’ll also collect toys during the Dec. 7 Parade of Lights. The gifts will be donated to Family Children Services for Frontenac and L&A. Also coming up next Tuesday members of GNFS will be at Denny’s, serving Grand Slams breakfasts from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Proceeds from the sale of the signature breakfast will be given to Hospice L&A.

Hoping to encourage shoppers to consider visiting Bath this holiday season, all local merchants have teamed up to make this coming weekend a festive one. Dubbed ‘Experience the Holiday Season in the Village of Bath’, this weekend much of the village’s Christmas merchandise will be tax free with several prize draws featured at the local shops. Simultaneously taking place at 368 Main St. will be a Holiday Artisan Gift Festival and Sale from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. “There will be lots to come to the village for,”

said Sue Dodds, owner of Breaking Bread Bistro. “A lot of people think Bath doesn’t have too much, but we’ve actually got quite a few little shops and gift places, antiques and restaurants and that kind of thing. It’s a great place to spend an afternoon.” The artisan show will feature all styles of art medium with crafts and designs, all made by local artists. “We’ve got an eclectic mix of all kinds (of artists),’ said Dodds. “We’ve got jewellery makers and skin care products. This is the first time we’ve done something like this in this location. We’re kind of hoping to have it as a regular event. We’re hoping to entice people to

come more often to the village.” Admission is a food donation to the Bath Lions Club Food Drive. Providing carols will be Mellow Lily. This will mark the first time the village has banded together to host such a Christmas event. With major big box competition to the east in Kingston, Dodds is hoping the weekend event will encourage shoppers to embrace small town charm for their holiday shopping. They’re marketing themselves as a diverse shopping trip with one-of-a-kind items. The event is scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday and could become a regular holiday feature if it proves successful.

BUDGET | Councillors worry about ability to keep up with rising costs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 As far as the proposed operating budget goes, policing accounts for 24 per cent of the budget, estimated at $4,424,900. Many councillors voiced their concerns regarding the policing contract with budgets set by the province but up to the municipality to pay for. Ward 1 Councillor Mike Schenk said if the budget continues to increase as it has in the past, there might come a time when some OPP employees with large salaries may need to

be cut. “If you’re paying an officer $95,000, plus benefits, plus overtime, it comes to a point where you can’t afford that employee anymore,” he said. “You’re going to take away other services like fixing up roads and potholes… I see the cutbacks.” Schenk said when the province sets the wages, contracts and continues to increase costs, it makes it impossible for the municipality to stick to a budget. This results in the municipality coming short in other departments and

eventually tax increase become necessary. “There’s no way you can physically afford it, it’s only going one way,” said Schenk in regards to the police services portion of the 2014 proposed operating budget. Other major aspects of the proposed 2014 operating budget include the CAO/council/admin/finance department at $2,241,516 for 12 per cent of the budget, infrastructure services and public works at $4,536,115 for 25 per cent of the budget, and infrastructure services, parks

Council concerns over Drive Clean remain BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Greater Napanee council received a letter from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment in response council’s concerns relating to the new emissions tests. Unsatisfied by the MOE’s response, however, council has decided to send another letter. Neera Shukla, assistant director and Drive Clean officer for the Ministry of Environment, sent the letter to council, which gave information on the Drive Clean program but did not answer questions as to why emissions tests are not necessary for all vehicles or why northern Ontario is exempt. “I’m very disappointed that they didn’t address the northern part of Ontario or even in our area, I consider it a northern part of Ontario, they never addressed that part at all about why they don’t to do a Drive Clean emissions test on their vehicles,” said Mayor Gord Schermerhorn during Tuesday’s council meeting.

A letter was sent to the ministry, the MP and MPP by council after Cory Wilson, a car salesman at Stapley’s Auto Sales and Service in Napanee, submitted a petition to council to stop the Drive Clean program. Wilson also attended Tuesday’s meeting. Ward 5 Councillor Shaune Lucas said he agreed with the mayor and said clarification is needed from the ministry. “I could have read this letter on the website. It didn’t answer our questions. Our letter specifically asked to address the regionalization testing. We asked why some vehicles were tested over others; we asked why vehicles had to be tested when you changed the ownership. So I think the letter should be sent again because we didn’t get an answer and I’d like an answer for specific questions that were brought up by a member of our community and we didn’t get it. I agree with you, this is not appropriate for what we asked for,” said Lucas. “It’s just a slap in the face to send us a general letter,” added Ward 4 Councillor Bill Pierson.

and facilities at $2,193,129 for 18 per cent of the budget. Council also discussed the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund and addressed a number of concerns, including the discontinuation of one of its grants. The Transportation Assistance grant could be discontinued by 2015. Currently, this funding provides 34 per cent of the municipality’s OMPF grant, making up nearly $700,000. Other concerns included the loss of the

police services grant and the effect of lost assessment due to appeals. As for grants offered by the municipality, $15,000 has been allocated for the 2014 budget, which is about the same as what was provided in the 2013 budget. To date, four grant requests have been made, accounting for $7,850.

Requests have been made by: Deseronto Transit, United Empire Loyalists, Youth Employment Award, and the St. Lawrence II Brigantine Sponsorship. The next budget meeting is scheduled for Dec. 16, which will include the utilities budget, capital budget, revised year-end projections and salary details.

School takes funny approach to serious issues

BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

The staff and parents at J.J. O’Neill Catholic School used the power of laughter to tackle some of tough issues around childhood and parenting this week At its ‘Building Healthy Kids’ evening at the school this past Thursday, the school welcomed local comedian and author Deb

Kimmett to offer some funny reflections on kids and parenting. The school also opened up the session to other community organizations, from L&A Resources for Children to Family and Children’s Services for Frontenac and Lennox and Addington, as well as to the community at large. Those agencies outlined some of the programs they have available for parents and children in

the area. “We know full well that it’s important to have a community at work to raise healthy kids,” said J.J. O’Neill Principal Ian Stuart. “We were hoping to get everybody pulled together.” Kimmett kept the crowd of about 100 chuckling about the challenges and foibles familiar to most parents. Her underlying message was that, while parents are often filled with doubt about how

they’re raising their kids, chances are they’re doing just fine. The school and parent council began contemplating a community evening like Thursday’s event after it held an in-school survey last year relating to bullying and student well-being. “The results of those surveys were pretty challenging for us,” Stuart told those at the meeting. “We found that there were some pretty startling statistics.

Forty-three per cent of junior-aged children in our school were feeling unsafe. That’s a pretty big number of junior-aged children feeling unsafe in our school. There were really no indicators for us other than the survey itself. “That is one of the reasons why we decided we would do something, that we would put together some kind of evening where we could talk a little bit about why kids were feeling that,” he continued. His sentiments were echoed by parent council chair Ray Callery. “We’ve

talked about this… over last year and this year. We wanted to see this happen,” he said. “Certainly with the conversations that are happening (around) the school council table, we thought this was long overdue as well.” Stuart also pointed to a recent Ministry of Education document, ‘Supporting Minds: A guide to promoting student well-being.’ In that document, the ministry suggested that one in five students “is suffering from some form of debilitating mental disorder or mental health problem.”

Un-Forget-able NDCC Men’s Open Winners

Raiders stomp out Storm Napanee edges closer to fourth-place Rebels

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Submitted photo

Cataraqui Curling Club skip Wesley Forget (far right) was the winning rink of the ‘A’ division of this weekend’s Napanee and District Curling Club’s annual Men’s Open Bonspiel. His rink was made up of (from left) Ben Savage, Kyle Thompson and Michael Bryson. They best Carleton Height’s Ed Warren to capture the prized trophy. For more on the annual bonspiel, see page 26.

A series of Deseronto Storm miscues gave the Napanee Raiders the only goal they’d need in Tuesday night’s 10-0 triumph and third straight win. Cycling the puck in Raider territory on a power-play, a missed pass at the blue line went straight to the stick of Napanee’s Blade Grigg. He moved the puck into Storm territory where their two defenders, one skating backward the other forwards, collided. That allowed Grigg to give a wide open Austin Boulard a perfect feed in front of the net, which he converted into a goal. That was the first of many for Napanee as Boulard, Mitch Pearce, Tyler Romain and Bud Norris each netted a pair of goals in the lopsided win while Ryan Casselman and Alex Leclerc had singles. Kyle Copeland was a perfect 39 for 39 in save chances.

Napanee’s Tyler Romaine battles Deseronto’s Ian Bobbish for puck control in front of the Storm net. “That was our goal heading into the third,” Raiders coach Mike Hartwick said of preserving the shutout. “I didn’t care about anymore goals (being up 8-0 at the start of the third.) I just didn’t want to give up anything. Cope stood his ground. It

was nice to get the shutout for Copey, he played well.” With the win Napanee swept the home-and-away series from Deseronto. On Friday they again took it to the Storm, cruising to a 9-1 victory.

Peewee and Novice Stars clinch Combo tourney gold Napanee teams claims first in two of six divisions at ninth annual Stars Combo rep tournament Beaver Sports

fter the dust settled on over 90 games, the Novice and Peewee teams reached the top of the podium at the Combo tournament last weekend. n The Napanee Boyd Electric Peewee Stars were a perfect 5-0 at the NDMH Combo tournament weekend, capping off their championship with a 4-2 win over their old BB rivals, the Stirling Blues. The Blues gave the Stars all they could handle in the final game on Sunday, jumping out to a 1-0 first period lead. The Stars, however, started on a run of their own. Kyle Garrett got Napanee on the board first with just over four minutes left in the second; Ryan Kirkpatrick and Alex Ketcheson assisted on the play. A minute-or-so later, Matt Sager made the most of feeds from Corbin Gibson and Nick Kennelly. Kirkpatrick would add two more goals in the third period. Nate Brant assisted on the first goal, while Garrett and Keegan Makpah assisted on the second. Murray Craig was the

game-winning goalie for the Stars. The championship title proved to be Napanee’s biggest challenge of the tournament. The Stars opened up the tourney against the same Stirling Blues and, unlike the finals, this game was never in doubt. Napanee scored twice in the first minute of this early-morning game on Friday, and never looked back, en route to a 6-1 victory. Kirkpatrick had three goals and two assists. Nate Brant and Garrett each had a goal and two assists. Gibson had a pair of assists. Kennelly scored once, while Makpah picked up a helper. Once again, Craig got the win in net. In the second game later that night, the Stars were more than a match for the Midland Centennials, shutting them out 4-0. Kirkpatrick had a goal and an assist, while Gibson had a pair of assists. Justin Jones, Logan Votary and Liam Wilkinson all scored for Napanee, while Cal DuChene and Sager each got assists. Bailey Maracle stopped all shots he faced.

On Saturday, the Stars faced off against the Port Hope Phantoms and, despite falling behind in the second period, managed to hold on for the 5-3 win. All of Napanee’s goals would come in the second period. Gibson was in on four of the five goals, scoring twice and notching a pair of helpers. Both Wilkinson and Kirkpatrick had a goal and an assist. Sager scored once, while Brant and Makpah each earned assists. Craig got the win in net. Later that night, the Stars took on the Brockville Braves. Maracle would collect his second shutout of the weekend in a 3-0 victory. Kirkpatrick had two goals, while Sager notched one. Wilkinson, Kennelly, Ketcheson and Garrett all earned assists. The Boyd Electric Stars hope some of the tournament’s momentum carries over to their league play, where the push to solidify their playoff positioning begins again next weekend with a home-and-away set against the Lindsay Muskies. Saturday night,

STARS COMBO | Novice Stars best Nepean in finals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21 Stars netminder, Jacob Brown, got the shutout. On Saturday morning, Napanee trounced Sittsville 9-0 in Deseronto. Goals went to Carter McKee (three), Uens (three), Spencer Cranley (two) and Lukas Hannah. Assists went to Jack Madden (two), Gilmour (two), Beaubien (two), Fox, Ethan Sutcliffe, Ty Kemp, Gavin Brooks, Cranley and Hannah. Brown logged his second shutout of the tournament. The Stars continued their strong play Saturday afternoon at the SPC, crushing Tavistock 80. Goals went to McKee (3), Cranley (2), Uens (2) and Beaubien. Assists went to Fox (3), Will Myers (2), Brooks (2), Madden (2) and Beaubien. Brown received his third shutout of the tournament. Seeded first, the Stars were paired against the fourth seeded Stittsville Rams in tournament semifinal No. 1. The Napanee Stars proved to be too much, advancing to the gold medal game with a 61 victory. Goals went to Uens (3), Cranley, Gilmour and Fox. Assists went to Brooks (2), McKee (2), Cranley (2), Kemp, Sutcliffe, Beaubien and Madden. Sunday, the Stars met up with a very strong Nepean team for the Final. The Raiders opened

the scoring in the first period and then pushed ahead to a two goal lead half way through the second. A minute after another Raiders’ goal, the Stars started their dramatic comeback with a timely goal from McKee (assists Gilmour and Cranley). Two minutes later, Uens streaked down the right side on a breakaway. As he cut-in toward the Raiders net the Stars Captain was upended from behind and awarded a penalty shot. Then, with all eyes on him, Uens skated down the middle of the ice and fired it high into the top right corner to tie the game at two. The third period was filled with fast, close checking, end to end action. With just over 2 minutes left in the 3rd period and the puck in Napanee’s end, Uens began to rush toward the right Ram defenseman at the blue line who had the puck. The defenseman desperate to keep the puck in Napanee’s end, fired it hard. The puck struck Uens’ shin pad, flew past the defenseman and slid down the ice toward the Raiders end. Uens raced down the ice, picked up the puck, skated in on a breakaway and scored his second of the game - putting the Stars up 3-2. Then with just over a minute left, and the puck again in Napanee’s end, the Raiders attempted to pull their goalie for the extra attacker. However, before the Raiders goalie could get to the bench, he raced back toward his net in an attempt to guard off Uens who was breaking out of Napanee’s end. From the Raiders blue line, Uens fired the puck hard toward the Raiders net. The sprawling Raiders netminder was able to get a piece but not enough of the puck as it trickled into the bottom left corner of the net – giving Uens the hat-trick and Napanee a 4-2 lead. Following this, Napanee, very smartly, put on a very

strong forecheck to finish off the game and win the championship in their hometown. They look to continue their strong play at the Cobourg Silver Stick Tournament this weekend. n The McDougall Insurance Novice AE team edged Prince Edward County 2-1 with goals by Connor McGinnis and Ben Buxton in their only win. n The Giant Tiger Peewee Minors had a fine 2-2 record in the tournament with wins over Port Hope, the eventual winners, and the Belleville Minors. After a Friday loss to the Belleville Majors, they edged Port Hope 3-2, with goals by Kenny PaddleGrant, Tristan Shelley, and Ethan Joe. On Saturday they got another win over Belleville Minors 3-2. Joe, Dakota McLaughlin, and Mason Barker scored. They lost to Stirling 4-2 to end their hopes of continuing.. n The Napanee Atom AE team had an uphill battle in the Combo tournament with losses to Prince Edward County, the Stittsville Spartans, and Perth. Keegan Vallier tallied in the Perth contest. n Despite having three games Friday in Napanee's Combo tournament and allowing only four goals in four games, the Major Midgets fared quite well in competition this weekend. Outstanding defensive play and goaltending pushed the Stars to a close third overall finish. Goals were tallied by Colsen Bertrand, Jeremy Martin (2), Iain MacGregor (2), Matt Davis (2), Dalton Manley, John Harvey (2), and Adam Weatherhead. James Hanley and Nate McFarland brought confidence in net. Quinte West came to town Monday for a wellmatched game with the Midget Stars. At the end of frame 2, the score was 3-3 and stayed knotted throughout the spirited third. Manley secured two goals with Brock Clark claiming his first of the

season. The Midgets now venture to Niagara Falls, NY this weekend to compete in the Festival of Lights Tournament. n An exciting weekend for the Spuds Major Atom A team as they travelled to Amherstburg to compete in the Amherstburg Elite 8 Tournament. Friday night saw the Stars take on the Riverside Rangers for a great start to the tournament with a 5-3 win. Two goals each for Brooks and Hearns and a single for White. Assists by Mills, White, Hearns, Mundle and Eakins. Sadly, the Orillia Terriers got the best of the Stars in their next with only two shots finding the way to the back of the net for the Stars for a disappointing final score of 72. Game 3 was the Stars (Napanee) vs the Stars (Amherstburg), with Napanee redeeming themselves with an excellent game of hockey. Goals for Napanee came from Mundle, Bailey, Mills and two by Brooks, assisted by teammates Mills, Holmes, Hearns and White. Unfortunately the team was knocked out by Oakville when it came down to the goals for/against to break the tie for the 4 place position. n The Exit Realty Minor Bantams played in the Barrie Tournament, starting with a 2-2 tie facing Cambridge. Saturday morning, they faced the eventual winners Richmond Hill, but fell 1-0. The Napanee Stars shut out a Toronto team, Amesbury, 40 to round out their games to place fifth overall in the twelve-team tournament. n The Napanee Minor Midget Stars also placed fifth in the Ottawa Capital Showdown at the Bell Sensplex. They edged Markham 2-1 on Friday, but lost a key game 5-3 to Stittsville before defeating Brantford 4-3. They ended tied with other teams, but goal differential placed them outside the playoffs in the ten-team grouping. n Just one game on the schedule for the Peewee B Crunch over the weekend as the girls travelled to Ajax to take on the Durham West Lightening. A hard fought battle ended in a 0-0 draw. Chelsea Truman earned the shutout between the pipes for the Crunch. n The Napanee Bantam B Crunch girls suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss on Saturday against the Ennismore Eagles. The lone Napanee goal was scored by Megan McKee, assisted by Adele Frink and Ashlee Couvreur. The girls are maintaining a second place in the standings, only one point behind the West Northumberland Wild.

Forever in our hearts, Dale, Cheryl, Scott, Laura, Ryan and Tiffany. GO LEAFS GO!!!!!! MILLEN - In loving memory of Margaret, who passed away November 30, 1990. A thousand times we needed you, A thousand times we cried, If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died, A heart of gold stopped beating, Two twinkling eyes closed to rest, God broke our hearts to prove He only took the best. Never a day goes by that you’re not in our hearts and our souls. Love, Eugene and the Millen family.

We knew that morning God was calling you Home, In life we loved you dearly In death we do the same.

RAIDERS | Huge series with Rebels on tap CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21 Casselman led the way with four goals while Romaine, Pearce, Josh Murphy and Zach KnappHermer potted one each. Johnny Maracle, who started the year with Napanee, had Deseronto's lone strike midway in the third to cut the lead to 8-1. Josh Lasher sticked away 37 of 38 attempts. An injury to captain Josh St.Peter forced Hartwick to pass the ‘C’ onto Jordan Cannons prior to the game. He felt he didn’t lose much with his

replacement captain. “He gets along well with the fellows, he’s everything we love about a hockey player,” Hartwick said of Cannons. “He was a logical choice and he did a great job.” Tuesday’s match was game no. 20 for the Raiders, the official halfway mark of the season. They’re now 7-11-0-2 on the year, five points back of Campbellford for a playoff spot. “We’d like to be higher up in the standings, but that’s something we’re going to work towards in

the second half,” said Hartwick. He noted that now that his many rookies have a full season under their belt, he’s noticed a huge improvement and thinks a playoff spot is very much in reach. Deseronto on the other hand now has 21 games in the books and sport a 3-18 record. Their mini resurgence that saw them go 3-3 from Oct. 30 to Nov. 16 is now a distance memory, replaced by a four game losing streak. During that stretch they’ve been outscored 38-3. Turning things around won’t come easy as they welcome the 19-1-1 Picton Pirates to town tomorrow night for a 7:30 p.m. showdown. They follow that up with a trip to Picton next Thursday. Napanee meanwhile has a huge three games this coming week, starting tomorrow night in Campbellford. On Sunday they visit Amherstview before returning home Tuesday to host the Campbellford. All games start at 7:30 p.m. Napanee’s recent scoring outburst, coupled with the fact the Rebels have lost five of their last six, could make this stretch the Raiders’ best chance to climb back into the playoff race. For his five goals in two games, Casselman is the Ontario Milk Marketing Board Raider of the week.

Moira thanks all the ladies who made the meal possible by cooking roasts and/or baking pies. The runner up team skip Ed Warren from Carleton Heights thanked the bar staff of Director Blaine Williams, James Head, David and Jordan Van Vlack, Brian Chad-

Car club contributes to L&A hospital, other groups BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

A $1,000 cheque was presented to the Lennox and Addington County General Hospital on Tuesday on

behalf of the Napanee Valley Cruisers car club. The Napanee Valley Cruisers have donated more than $5,000 to the hospital in the last year. Foundation Board member, LeRoy Wannamaker,

said contributing to the hospital is important to the club but also plays an important part in the hospital. “The hospital has always been extremely well supported by the com-

munity, it always has been,” said Wannamaker. “If the community support wasn’t there, the hospital wouldn’t be here today.” The Napanee Valley Cruisers contribute to a number of organizations in the community, ranging from the Salvation Army and Project Warm Toes to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Here are some organizations they have supported this year: Canadian Cancer Society with $200; MS Cruisin’ for a Cause Day 2013 with $500; the Salvation Army with $1,000; Project Warm Toes with $500; L&A Seniors Outreach Services with $650; Jump Start with $500; Interval House with $650; and the Newburgh

Selecting a Home Inspector

Buying a home represents one of the largest investments you will ever make and choosing a qualified home inspector is an important part of the home purchasing process. A home inspection is an educational process which is designed to reduce a consumer’s risk when buying a home and is not a guarantee or a warranty on a property. A home inspection is a visual inspection and there are limitations as to what an inspector is physically able to see. It’s critical to have a good understanding of what to expect

from your home inspector. We strongly advise consumers to find out the specifics about the inspectors training and background, the number of years in business and the number of completed inspections. Visit CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) guidelines on hiring a home inspector at: https://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca The Standard of Practice that an inspector follows is critical. The Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Appeal both have recognized the American Society of Home

Inspectors (ASHI) Standards of Practice as the benchmark for the home inspection profession in Ontario. Ensure the inspector you are considering subscribes to them. Home inspectors are trained to recognize signs and symptoms of major problems, but are not experts in all fields and may need to refer consumers to specialists. It’s important for consumers to recognize that a home inspection cannot eliminate risk, only reduce it. We know that in today’s real estate market, getting the home you want can come down to a bidding war where seconds count but it’s important to give yourself the time to make the most informed decision around such a big purchase. Research the organization that certified the individual including the certification process; it should not be an online credential. When you decide to enter the market to buy a house, consider finding your home inspector first before you start seriously looking for your new home. Leave time to select an inspector to ensure you can do your research and that the individual is available. One week prior to subject removal is recommended as a minimum. Make your selection on qualifications and not solely on the lowest fee or quickest availability. If a major deficiency is found by the inspector the consumer should obtain three quotes for the repairs from independent firms. The inspector will not provide estimates. You should receive your inspection report within 24hours after the inspection has been completed. Most inspectors provide an electronically generated report the same day. Don’t be embarrassed to ask questions, you want to get a full understanding of the deficiencies and the general working of the dwelling. If you are unhappy with the services provided by your home inspector, contact the Association to which your inspector belongs to and file a complaint.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) Libra, a little extra concentration will find you tackling your workload with time to spare. Commit your time now and enjoy the time to take things slow later in the week. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Scorpio, signficant changes are afoot and you are not quite sure how to prioritize your goals. Enjoy the change, but make use of down time to reestablish your priorities. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Sagittarius, though a pressing issue in your relationship may seem like it needs immediate attention, you have a lot of time to work through any issues. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Capricorn, your normally conservative approach won’t work this week. You have to take a couple of chances, or you won’t accomplish much of anything. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, you have only a few days to learn some new procedures at work. It is natural to feel nervous, but put aside those feelings and concentrate on the tasks at hand. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Pisces, don’t worry too much about an upcoming change around the office. You’re in position to benefit from some restructuring.

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) It’s never too late to get healthy, Aries. Find time for some exercise and replace some calorie-laden foods with fruits and vegetables. You will appreciate having an extra hop in your step. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) A week of passion and romance awaits you and your special someone. Everything you do draws the attention of others. So make it work to your advantage. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) It can be challenging to get your head wrapped around certain tasks. Somehow you will manage to pull everything together. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, maintain your focus in the coming week no matter how difficult that proves to be. Personal concerns may have you reeling, but your heightened focus will serve you well. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, you may have something on your mind, but now is not the time to share such concerns. Do your best to solve a problem on your own, but rely on the advice of others if need be. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Virgo, do your best to avoid being let down by the negative attitudes of others. Friends or coworkers may just be in a bad mood, but that does not mean you need to be.
