Local performers Carley Sutton and Graeme Brown play as thousands of LED lights come on along Dundas Street on Thursday night as part of the Big Bright Light Show. Hundreds of residents converged on the downtown core to see the display, a first in Canada.

The switch for the Big Bright Light Show was officially flipped for the first time Thursday night, illuminating downtown Napanee in a sea of dazzling colours. A large gathering of onlookers turned out for the ceremony, watching as the buildings along Dundas Street between John Street and Centre Street lit up the night sky. “Somebody said to me we’re expecting 400 to 500 (people at lighting),” said Napanee mayor Gord Schermerhorn. “I said I’d be happy with 100. I think there are 1,000 or more here. It’s just great.” With the launch, Napanee became the first community in Canada to set up such a display. Accord to James Timlin, Greater Napanee’s General Manager of Community and Corporate Services, Rochester, Michigan is the only other community he’s aware of that has a similar display. All told there are 10 kilometres of lights lining the façades of 22 different businesses, each building a different colour. Store owners were required to pay a one time fee of $500, while the Napanee Business Improvement Area added $10,000 to held get the projected started. Local musicians Carley Sutton and Graeme Brown warmed up the crowd, singing Christmas carols as they waited for the lights to come on. Just as they got to the middle of a holiday classic, the dark streets were flooded with every colour of the rainbow, earning ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ from the crowd. Even jolly St. Nick was on hand, bringing with him a bag of candy for all the kids in attendance. “It’s just a great thing for our municipality and our downtown core,” added Schermerhorn. “We support the businesses in our downtown and it’s a great way to attract people to our town.” Ultimately, the town is hoping the lights will encourage consumers, both local and from out of town, to visit Napanee for their Christmas shopping. All participating stores stayed open later than usual on Thursday and seemed to benefit for the extra foot traffic. The lights will come on nightly from 5-11 p.m. from now until January. The holiday spirit isn’t contained to the downtown core, as some 30 lighted Christmas figures can be found along the shores of the Napanee River in both Conservation and Springside Park. The project was funded by the business owners, BIA, the town and TransCanada, who has agreed to sponsor the event for its first five years. “It’s a great idea to bring it to Napanee and I’m sure it’ll be a holiday tradition for many years to come,” said Terry Bennett, TransCanada’s Vice President of Power Development. “What was so appealing to TransCanada about this event was that it promoted both community spirit and the local businesses.” Already the town has plans to expand, as more Dundas Street businesses have expressed interest for next year.

Shopper helps in a pinch

An independent community newspaper ESTABLISHED JANUARY 1, 1870

On Nov. 2 I was shopping at the Metro store in Napanee and after my groceries were rung through I could not use my debit or credit card to pay because the Bank of Montreal system was down. When I asked to pay with a cheque I was told no. But, to my surprise, the woman in line behind me said she would take my cheque and she would pay with her card (from another bank) for me. We have the greatest people living in our small town, where else would you find a complete stranger take your cheque. So I thank J. Montgomery, you have restored my faith in people.

Regionalism backfires HEN you play the politics of division, it is going to come back and

bite you. Liberal Leadership candidate Justin Trudeau learned that lesson the hard way last week when a two-year-old quote from a French-language television show suggesting that Albertan politicians were failing Canada found its way back onto the airwaves. That revelation came a matter of days after a fellow Liberal MP, David McGuinty, said that Alberta Conservative MPs don’t represent the interests of Canadians and should stick to provincial or municipal politics. That gaffe ended with McGuinty’s resignation shortly thereafter. What this says of the Liberal Party is one thing. The political ramifications for the party could be felt for years to come — or, they might be forgotten in a couple of weeks. But while we’re sure the Liberals are hoping for the latter, it’s more likely the former will be case — do you think the Conservatives are going to let that fade from memory? But these short-term political considerations are a sideshow to the real problem, and that is, playing regional politics, and painting one part of the country as ‘the good guys’ and the other as ‘the bad guys.’ The

Liberals might be the latest, but they’re not the first. Before he became Prime Minister, Stephen Harper called on Alberta to put up a firewall to protect itself from the rest of the country (and the then Liberal government in particular). The Reform Party, a predecessor to the current Conservative Party, ran a TV add in the 1997 election stating that Canada had had enough of prime ministers from Quebec. It’s a dangerous game, and not just because it can play havoc with a politician’s fortunes. It plays to regional biases that, frankly, don’t need to be inflamed. It’s no secret that national unity is always an underlying issue in this country.

Quebec and Alberta have different cultures and different social and political traditions — indeed, we can think of two more dissimilar provinces than these two. That said, they have more in common than they have in conflict. Of course, in the wake of Trudeau’s gaffe, politicians of all stripes are preaching unity. What they need to do is preach unity all the time. While it might be tempting to cash in on the low-hanging fruit that is regional prejudice — pandering is a long-standing political tool, after all — it’s just not worth it to take that road. As Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are quickly finding out.

We want to hear from you!

OFA clears major hurdle As the largest of the province’s three general farm organizations (GFOs), the Ontario Federation of Agriculture takes its job of speaking for farmers seriously. But in May 2012, the OFA, along with the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario and the National Farmers Union of Ontario found themselves up against a signifi-

cant roadblock. After completing the application process, due every three years, under the Farm Registration and Farm Organizations Funding Act, 1993, all three of Ontario’s GFOs were denied accreditation by the OMAFRA Appeals Tribunal. Traditionally, when Ontario farmers complete the farm business registration process – which qualifies farmers for farm property tax designation and other programs – they also submit an application fee of $195 payable to one of the three GFOs. Farmers felt that doing that and receiving membership confirmation in return, meant they became a member of the selected organization that does important work on behalf of Ontario farmers. However, that is not the case, so in May 2012, the accreditation process was disrupted when all three GFOs were denied accreditation.

The Kashiras arrived in Canada as refugees and moved to Napanee in September, thanks largely to years of effort on the part of a large group of dedicated volunteers to bring them here.

COMMUNITY / 7 OFA FROM PAGE 6 That means farm businesses that registered after the May 23 decision did not initially receive FBR numbers from their GFO of choice – and the funds paid during the process were not redirected to their selected GFO. The main problem, the Tribunal determined, was the lack of explicit agreement conditions applied to ‘membership’ in the OFA. And, as the accreditation criteria referred to membership practices that dated back to 2011, GFOs were unable to become accredited under the existing 13 regulatory criteria. In November 2012, Agriculture Minister Ted McMeekin recognized the dilemma and took measures to enable Ontario’s GFOs to become accredited. The criteria for accreditation have been reduced from 13 to six. Since OFA has already been approved on each of the remaining six points in the previous two Tribunal hearings on accreditation, we anticipate no problems this time around. This regulatory amendment is only in effect for one year. We will, of course, begin work on how we assign membership in the future to ensure we qualify for accreditation when it is time to reapply. The process has been a long and tiresome one for OFA, and we are anxious to get back to designating our staff and director resources where they are needed most: working for farmers. A portion of those resources will still be dedicated to working with OMAFRA and Agricorp in preparation for the 2013 farm business registration process which should commence in January, as usual. The OFA thanks the minister and his staff for recognizing the legal dilemma that has prevented us from being accredited and then taking bold action to enable accreditation. We would also like to thank our staff, directors and members who have expressed their concern over this process, and have asked what they could do to help. The OFA looks forward to continuing its important work as the voice of Ontario farmers. Mark Wales is president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture.

Frontenac’s Gibson Lake Loop a must to hike T was the Maclean Lumber Camp we were now staring at or, at least what remained of it. We were in a remote section of Frontenac Provincial Park where we had walked for six hours and had not seen a soul. It was one of those days that naturalists dream about – a balmy November day, bright sunshine and nary a stir from any of the few remaining leaves stubbornly clinging to the trees. There was silence, broken only by a scattering of black ducks, disturbed by the noise of us shuffling through thick carpets of dead leaves. This was the Gibson Lake Loop trail in Frontenac Park’s most northerly side, accessed by driving to the Kingsford Dam off Canoe Lake Road, then walking two kilometres along another trail before reaching where we wanted to begin our hike. But, we had been psyching ourselves up for this hike for several months, and we were well prepared for the 15 kilometres ahead of us. This is pioneer country here on this side, accented by humble attempts at scratching a living from the granite rock, and several mica mines. There was logging, but after the industry suffered losses from fires and harvesting, the large scale logging and lumber industry began to wane, and settlers turned to open pit mining. The story of their struggles can be seen all along this portion of the Park. Earlier, we had passed by the 1843 Mark’s Cabin

remains and nearby Crab Lake Mine. A few ironwoods had fallen beside the trail, no match for the strong winds that travel down the precipitous ridges where our trail took us. Mostly, the walking was pleasant, over barren plateaus with spotty patches of grass, now brown from the summer drought, struggling to hold the sparse soil in place. Oaks, elms and both yellow and white birch stood like sentinels, sometimes scant in numbers, other times morphing into dense woodland where we wondered how they managed to survive at all in the thin soil. Lunch was at a side trail to a lakeside campsite where we listened to ravens calling and the drumming of a distant woodpecker. One along the trail turned out to be a huge pileated woodpecker, and two others showed themselves as hairy woodpeckers. We didn’t need to be told that a pileated was in the area as we saw several holes that these giant woodpeckers had made in the snags. Ducks took flight, most of them unidentified due to the distance although one closer flock banked as it passed over the lake, revealing themselves as black ducks. Two adult bald eagles took advantage of the sun and gave us superb looks at their contrasting black and white colours. There is a Frontenac Challenge in the fall and participants

Terry Sprague

Outdoor Rambles are offered the challenge of walking all 160 km of trails in a two month period. It is a demanding endeavor, especially when tackling the grueling 21kilometre Slide Lake Trail. I did one inner loop several years ago and while it is reputed to be the most breathtaking section of the park, the trail is also the most difficult, involving lots of crab walking on all fours and “bum rocking” (the art of sitting on rocks when descending, one stone at a time). That one needs to be started at daybreak if expected to finish before darkness falls. One friend from Tweed has done it for 17 consecutive years. With arthritis in his feet, he is a prime example of outdoor enthusiasts ignoring discomfort and medical prob-

lems and just getting out there, and doing it. For those with me a week ago, our Frontenac Challenge will be to walk all of the trails, even if it takes us five years for we want to savour the beauty and serenity of the hiking trail system and not worry about deadlines. We will do the Slide Lake Loop, but in the spirit of Johnny Cash’s hit song, one piece at a time. To do this, we may need to walk some of the same trails several times to access different portions of the trail, but we will do it, me and my friends and Ibuprofen – the breakfast of champions! Or, we may decide to throw caution to the wind and do the entire thing in one sweep. We are so fortunate to have this magnificent park practically on our doorstep, where we can immerse ourselves in nature and history, if only for a few hours, and think back to the pioneers who helped shape this wilderness

area. They are no longer around to tell us their stories, but the dedicated staff at the Park and especially the Friends of Frontenac can bring these stories to life. Books, like my favourite, Their Enduring Spirit by Christian Barber and Terry Fuchs are also a big help. The trails are always in super shape, thanks to the efforts of the Friends. We were commenting on our hike that we didn’t see one speck of garbage. While the Friends rightfully deserve credit, we can also attribute the condition of the trails to the park’s users who are of a different mentality, that this park is special, so let’s keep it that way.

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 70 Years Ago December 2, 1942 n Although municipal elections were scheduled to take place once a year, it didn’t necessarily mean there would be an election. Incumbents with both the Napanee Town Council and the Napanee School Board were all acclaimed for another term for 1943, forgoing any need for voters to head to the ballot box. Not all municipalities in the area were able to skip an election, however. In South Fredericksburgh, for instance, former reeve D. Wesley Young let his name stand against current reeve Arthur E. Galt. n There wouldn’t be any Boxing Day blowout sales in Napanee on Dec. 26, 1942. Napanee merchants agreed to have Boxing Day stand as a holiday, so all stores would be closed. The merchants came to that decision while settling on common holiday hours for the Christmas shopping season. The businesses also decided to keep their stores open until 9:30 p.m. on the four days leading up to Christmas Day. In fact, post-Christmas shopping would be on hold for a while, as stores wouldn’t re-open until Monday, Dec. 28.

35 Years Ago November 30, 1977 n Napanee Town Council was in the process of mulling over future uses of the former Post Office building located at the corner of John and Bridge Streets. Council received a report from Kingston architect Wilfred Sorensen. The report was commissioned to determine what uses might fit in with the building, and what it might cost to refurbish the building. Among the options was to expand the police station, which was already housed in part of the building but was in need of additional space. n Local municipalities finally signed on to a new water and sewer extention program. North Fredericksburgh council had voted to opt out of the project with Napanee and Richmond Townships a few weeks earlier; however, modifications to the initial program, plus an increase in provincial government subsidies for the project, managed to persuade North Fred to reconsider. The entire project was to cost approximately $5.2 million.

Historic medical journey in print for posterity First-ever artificial vision procedure gave Napanee’s Jens Naumann the power of limited sight By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER STAFF WRITER Blinded by two horrific accidents by the age of 20, Jens Naumann become a ‘guinea pig’ to science, willing to risk his life on an untested surgery that could restore his vision. A decade later and now living in Napanee, Naumann recently chronicled his controversial experience in the novel Search For Paradise: A Patient’s Account of the Artificial Vision Experiment. “The book starts out the day I lost my first eye,” said Naumann, who is still blind. “It was kind of a bizarre series of events. I lost my left eye working at the railway (in 1981). Then I lost my right eye three years later working on a completely unrelated area.” By his own words, Naumann became a social outcast. All people saw when they looked at him was a blind man. He went from making $50,000 a year as a land surveyor to being unable to secure part-time, minimum-wage work. Desperate to one day see again, he began researching cures. “I ended up hearing about Bill Dobelle and his idea of hooking up a camera to the brain,” said Naumann. “Basically the computer sees the camera image and the camera image gets transmitted to the brain via electrodes.” Thinking his wildest dream of being able to see again could be a reality, he instantly wanted to contact the doctor. “My biggest worry was if it did come out, I would probably be way down on the list somewhere,” Naumann said of getting the surgery. “Next thing I know, it did come out and I wrote him, and I was the first patient in. The very first.” Sensing he was on the verge of history, Naumann began documenting everything that led up to the surgery, as well as the procedure itself. Much of it is covered in his book. Though progress was slow at first, eventually the surgical implants allowed him to see in a way he hadn’t been able since his accident. While certainly not crystal clear 20/20 vision, Naumann was able to see distorted shapes and movement in front of his face. Major news networks like CBC and CNN even featured him driving a car, though it was slow and in a controlled environ-

ment. He likened his first experience with the implants to learning a new language. He could see bright flashes of light and had to slowly interpret them into a way that allowed him to get a sense of what was before him. The implants worked wonders on the rest of his body as well, allowing him to return to a regular sleep cycle. Naumann recalled being able to see for eight weeks before it was discovered that the implants were causing an infection and had to be removed. Making matters worse, Dr. Dobelle died suddenly in 2004, right

in the middle of perfecting the project. “He didn’t publish any medical journal on this,” said Naumann. “If I didn’t write this book, that information would be lost. Nobody would even know that this happened.” By publishing his book, he’s hoping to restart the conversation and get the world interested in continuing the project. Because Dr. Dobelle didn’t keep records, Naumann considers himself the most knowledgeable living person on the subject. Having worked on the project and actually gone through the surgery, he knows first-hand the benefits the surgery could offer if perfected. “I just hate to keep it all to me and then eventually I’ll die,” said Naumann. “This book doesn’t have all the technical details, but this book

puts interest towards the fact that this worked. I’m not someone who is just trying to get grants. I can actually say it worked because I could see it working.” As far as he’s concerned, just getting the information out there is only one of the obstacles. Getting the U.S. Food and Drug Adminstration approval as well as convincing a medical company to take on the project are road blocks in themselves. “Blind people don’t have money,” said Naumann. “Blind people are excluded from society. In Canada, 93 per cent of blind people have no work. The seven per cent of people that have work are not able to have any upward mobility in that work. They’re not able to reach their full potential.” The initial cost of his surgery was $130,000, some of which he raised by holding fundraisers in the Napanee community. Any tweaks that would have needed to be done would have been even more costly, and the average person with visibility issues just can’t afford it. If there’s no money to be made, medical companies are less inclined to develop it. As for getting the FDA’s stamp of approval, much of Dr. Dobelle’s work was done outside of its jurisdiction. Many of his practices, such as the materials he used in the implants, were frowned upon. North American and European governments have shown no desire of developing the project, declaring it unsafe. Still, Naumann isn’t giving up in his quest. To help promote his book, he’s scheduled a book signing and information session at the Napanee Library for Dec. 6 at noon. Along with giving autographs he will also play a movie that depicts an artificial vision system surgery. His book is available at jensnaumann.com. He hopes to continue to spread the word and get people talking about this procedure. “What bothers me now is there are a lot of people, millions, in total darkness that could be seeing right now,” he added. As for himself, he says if a safe, guaranteed vision correcting surgery was discovered tomorrow he’d be the first in line. In the meantime he’s come to terms with his blindness and is making the most of the here and now — not waiting for any more miracle cures.

Christmas tree farm a real growth industry By Seth DuChene EDITOR Gale Rogers isn’t new to the Christmas tree business — in fact, he and his family have been maintaining a yearly crop of trees for nearly 25 years. This year is no exception. Local families are invited to Rogers’ woodlot on Pringle Side Road off the Drive In Road just north of Napanee to pick and cut their own Christmas tree. They might get a steaming cup of hot chocolate as well. Part of the proceeds from tree sales will go to the Salvation Army. Tree money will also be used to pay for seedlings to ensure the growth goes on. Each tree costs $25. According to Rogers, he’s been trying to grow more than just Christmas trees on the land over the years. He said that a lot with just Christmas trees will likely become completely deforested in the future, so instead, he’s made sure there are more varieties taking root. “That’s what we’ve continued to do, planting some trees every year,

but always planting ones that will be part of a permanent forest in the long term.” Rogers said there’s more to maintaining the trees than just planting them. He says that once a prospective Christmas tree gets to be about two or three years old, it needs to be pruned every year before it’s ultimately cut. That hot, buggy work is done in June. “Planting is a labourious task, but the most taxing is the pruning,” he says. That hard work will pay off for those who visit the farm in December and, according to Rogers, some families have been making a point to return year after year. “We see people now that are adults who came when they were toddlers, following the tradition of doing that.” The farm will be open to Christmas tree ‘hunters’ during the weekends in December. They can stop by any time between 9 a.m. until dark. Rogers says that there will be signs to guide visitors to the site. Rogers will also welcome them with some hot chocolate and cookies at a small log cabin that he constructed on the site, made from wood taken from the same forest.

Simpler time celebrated at Macpherson House Historic home will host a number of old-time Christmas activities this December By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER STAFF WRITER A P A N E E ' S Macpherson House will harken back to yuletides of yesteryear this December, featuring a month full of historic holiday activities. In a time before television, cars or even electricity, Christmas celebrations were plain and simple. Those early pioneer days will be brought to life at the house through period costumes and historically accurate demonstrations. “We don’t have all the electronics and all the gadgets,” said Karen Price, Macpherson House curator. “It’s having chestnuts on the fire, a simple cider and just listening to Christmas carols. It’s not about all these electronic handheld devices that kids

get every year. It’s simple wooden toys that would have been made.” This past Monday the house began a two-week program known as Christmas with the Lairds. Geared towards Grade 1 to 3 students, the day-long camps feature spinning, old-fashioned baking and Christmas craft making. Basically it highlights everyday life for those living in the time of Sir John A. Macdonald. That program will run on weekdays until Dec. 7. This coming Saturday the house will host a Pioneer Christmas Tradition Workshop, running from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. At a cost of $7 per child, guests of the house will have a chance to make their own Christmas ornament, done in the style of the early pioneer days. “It’s the focus on that simpler time,” Price said of

DECEMBER 4 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETING Starting at 6 p.m., the Napanee District Chamber of Commerce will host a community meeting to present and discuss plans for a redevelopment of the large grassy lot located at Bridge and Centre Streets in support of the 2013 Communities in Bloom. The meeting takes place at the Greater Napanee Town Hall. Call the NDCC for more information, 613-354-6601.

the pioneer Christmas, “not the hustle and bustle of ‘where do we have to be now?’ When families did spend more time together and there was that realization of what Christmas was about, focusing on the more important things." Registration is required by calling 613-3545982. The program is aimed at kids aged six to 12. The following Saturday, Dec. 8, marks the return of the popular Candlelight Evening with the Macphersons. Aside from some dimmed down ceiling lights, the house will be devoid of modern electricity and illuminated by candles and fire. The house will be decked out in decorations that would have been popular in 1826, when Allan Macpherson's family occupied the home.

“It’s a more simpler look,” said Price. “It’s not the tinsel and the electric lights.” Instead, the home is lined with popcorn on a string, dried apple slices and branches of evergreens. Noticeably absent is a Christmas Tree — those did not become a popular tradition in Canada until Queen Victoria’s reign. During the tour volunteers will wander the house, answering any questions about Christmas traditions of the past. In the kitchen baked goods will be cooked inside the hearth. Live piano and harp music will also be played through out the night. “The whole Christmas sound is what I think will resonate through the house,” added Price. Doors open at 6 p.m.

and it runs until 9 p.m. The cost is $7 per adult or $10 for two adults and two kids. Guests can save $2 by bringing a non-perishable food donation for the local food bank. Wrapping up the holiday season, the house will host Backyard Skating at the Macpherson House on Dec. 22. Weather permitting, the backyard of the house will be transformed into a skating rink. The house will also be open for tours and for skaters to warm up inside and drink some cider. The cost is $5 a person and runs from 1-4 p.m. In between the events the museum is also available for private holiday parties. A jam-packed December is relatively new for the house, as in recent years it

was all but shut down by the end of the fall season. Price, in her first year at the house, says they’ve generated so much interest lately that it’d be detrimental to stop now. “It’ll be busy but I’ve got a lot of dedicated volunteers which make it by far so much easier,” said Price. “If it wasn’t for my volunteers I think things would be really hard to do here.” Although scheduled to close in late December until next April, Price says she has several ideas to keep the house open all winter long. Given the attendance of their recent fall events, they have reason to believe enough people will visit to make it worth their while to stay open year-round.

HE votes are in and eight local shutterbugs have been crowed winners of the Town of Greater Napaneeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premiere photo contest. Launched this past August, the contest called for photographers to submit their best photos that highlighted different aspects of Napanee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main purpose was to gather a nice collection of photos that represent Greater Napanee in a positive light and to get the community involved,â&#x20AC;? said Lyndsay Tee, Greater Napaneeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Core Area Advisory Committee Coordinator. With 172 entries spread across six different categories, the judges had plenty of choices. Casting their votes was a panel of local community representatives from groups such as fire services and town council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the first year we thought that was great,â&#x20AC;? Tee said of the high number of entries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The committee working on the project thought weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be lucky if we got 25 photos.â&#x20AC;? Much to their surprise, the submissions kept on coming. Tee says the judges

had some tough choices on their hands, as evident by the fact that there were three ties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got a lot of different shots from all over the community,â&#x20AC;? said Tee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lots of good ones from local events from the community gardens, architecture to people, there was everything.â&#x20AC;? Winning in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Architecture Old and Newâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; category was Napaneeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Donna Shorts for an artistic shot of the L&A County court house peeking through autumn coloured trees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time I come in from Kingston (on Hwy 2) you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but see it,â&#x20AC;? Shorts said of the building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought that would make a nice shot. I grabbed my daughter and we went up the hill and started shooting.â&#x20AC;? Shorts, who had never entered a photography contest before, liked the idea of being able to enter the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest without paying an entrance fee. Friends and family have been urging her for years to enter a contest and she finally decided to give it a try. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do it as a hobby,â&#x20AC;? Shorts said of photography. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy it. I've constantly got a camera with me, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter where I am.â&#x20AC;? Winning in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Local Eventsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; category was James Head and Maija Shelley.

K-town youth’s toy drive expands to Napanee By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER STAFF WRITER As the Christmas season approaches, most 10-year-old kids are preoccupied with all the presents coming their way. Kingston’s Devon Cobb on the other hand, isn’t like most 10-yearolds. For the past four holiday seasons, she’s been busy organizing an ever-growing toy drive, collecting gifts for those less fortunate. Teamed with the Family and Children’s Services of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, she’s hoping to once again brighten the spirits of kids who would otherwise get nothing on Christmas morning. Now back for a fifth year, she’s expanded her cause to include the Napanee area. “She proceeded to tell me a story about a little girl at school going home hungry,” her father, Stirling Cobb, said of the toy drive’s origins. “I

sort of assumed she was talking about herself so I told her that would never happen, don’t worry about that. We talked about it again the next day and I decided to listen to her story a little more closely.” As it turned out, there was nothing hypothetical about it. A classmate of hers was really coming to school hungry every day. Then just six years of age, Cobb decided to take action and organized a Thanksgiving food drive. Come the Christmas season she was back at it, this time collecting toys. Starting with a simple route in Kingston’s Bayridge Drive area, she and her father drove through the neighbourhood collecting toys and donations. In her first year she collected enough to provide toys for 75 families. In her second year it grew to 85, and then 400 in her third year. Last year it ballooned to a whopping 500. “We have the same parade route,”

County Festival of Trees

said her father. “We have people in cars driving and chasing us on our parade, giving us toys. We have toys come from Meaford, Cobourg, Belleville. It’s been great.” Cobb will once again travel that same route tomorrow night between 6-8 p.m. She’ll go door to door in the Bayridge Dr., Henderson Place area, complete with a police escort. Here in Napanee, for the first time, they’ve set up drop box locations at Wallace’s Drug Store on 27 Dundas St. E and Family and Children Services, located at 99 Advance Ave. Toys or monetary donations can be dropped off all day long tomorrow. All toys and money donations will be used to help needy families in the Kingston, Frontenac and L&A Country region have a better Christmas. “It doesn’t matter if one family gets help, or a million get help,” said her father. “We’re still a part of it which is awesome.”

Roy out, Slack in Raider offense awakens in 8-3 win Napanee halts 12-game losing streak in a big way as Raiders’ coach Ugly first half prompts shakeup By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER SPORTS Simply put, the Napanee Raiders first half was an unmitigated disaster. Frustrations reached a boiling point when, according to team officials, head coach André Roy stepped down following last Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Deseronto. He was replaced, in the interim, by assistant coach Scott Slack with support from assistant GM Mike MacDonald. “I think that there’s a lot of disappointed kids from the streak that we were on,” Slack said following Tuesday’s 8-3 win. “Coming to the rink just wasn’t fun anymore. I truly believe that it doesn’t matter what level it is, if you’re not having fun coming to the rink, then you’re not going to perform.” Pinning blame for Napanee’s 6-14-1 record through the first 21 on a single player or coach would be unfair. A perennial contender, the team had every intention of making the playoffs this year and stretching their streak to 24 straight appearancesone for every year of Junior C existence. Now 12 points out of a playoff spot with 19 games to play, they’ll be in tough to keep their streak

alive. Off-season losses to their top five scorers, Colin Doelman, Paul Fortin, Taylor Brown, Jake Doseger and Jeremy Burley has taken its toll. Only one player, Luke Emmons, has reached the double digit mark in goals with 11. He’s also the only player who averages more than a point a game with 24 in 21. None of his teammates have more than 15. Defense has been a let down as well, as they've coughed up 103 goals in their first 21. They’re on pace to eclipse last year’s full season total of 173 by almost 30 goals. Whether or not the coaching shake up will yield better results remains to be seen. “Our room was pretty much at an all time low,” Slack said of the mood following last Tuesday’s loss. “(It stemmed from) the losing streak and the changes that were made and things like that. It’s a delicate situation that we’re in. I just came in with a lot of reassurance and a lot of positive stuff in the dressing room.” Winning can solve just about any off ice issues. The team will need plenty more of those in the second half if they hope to erase memories of a rough start.

By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER STAFF WRITER or the first time in over a month the Napanee Raiders had reason to smile, laugh and most importantly high five at the end of a game. The embattled franchise broke out of a 12 game losing streak in a big way at home on Tuesday, defeating the Deseronto Storm 8-3. Despite the lopsided final, it wasn’t until the third period that Napanee could breathe comfortably. Matt Horton and Blade Grigg spotted the Raiders a 2-0 lead in the first, but Carson Nelles and Brett Maracle negated that with a goal each for the Storm. Chris Doyle put the Raiders back out in front with a power-play goal from the point, only to see Chandler McDougal respond for the Storm. Donny Emmons put the Raiders up for good late in the second. The home team exploded for four unanswered in the third to seal the win. Doyle and Evan Brown scored just 19 seconds apart at the midway point and Bud Norris and Alex Kwok added insurance tallies. For Napanee it marked the first time they’d scored more than three goals in a game since Oct. 16, which just so happened to be the

Napanee was desperate for a win in more ways than one, as they’ve dealt with issues on and off the ice. “The team definitely needed this,” said Scott Slack, who has been promoted from assistant coach to head coach for the time being. “It was huge. We’d been on quite a losing streak. We had no breaks, no anything. Any small mistake we made, it was always going in the net. We needed some confidence.” Even when the game was well in hand Napanee

continued to pour it on, not wanting to leave anything to chance. Given their recent scoring slump, they weren’t going to pass up any opportunities to get onto the scoresheet. Kyle Copeland was the benefactor of the offensive output, picking up the win while stopping 35 shots. “We just finally came together as a team tonight,” said Slack. “I basically said it doesn’t matter who we played, if it was Deseronto or whatever. The outcome of the game was the outcome. It was just a huge win for us and a lot of weight off our shoulders.”

Bright Shining Stars at Napanee Combo Tourney

Napanee crowned two local champions at this weekend’s McCaw Mortgage Team Napanee Stars Combo Tournament, as both the Napanee L&A Mutual Major A Stars (left) and the Napanee Giant Tiger Bantam A Stars

Heading into Tuesday’s game Napanee suffered two ugly losses on the road, losing 6-1 to Port Hope on Friday and 9-3 to Amherstview on Saturday. Grigg had Napanee’s only goal on Friday, his first as a Raider, and added a goal and assist on Saturday. Alex Shotten and Luke Emmons had the other two on Saturday. In both games they were never close, trailing 5-0 before scoring their first in Amherstview and never held a lead against Port Hope.

Napanee’s bantam, major atoms clinch tourney titles Eighth annual event a success BEAVER STAFF he Napanee Giant Tiger Bantam A Stars continued their excellent defensive play in the McCaw Mortgage Team Napanee Stars Combo Tournament to win the Bantam A Final 3-0. Allowing only four goals in five games is testament to the quality of the goaltending duo of Hayden Ford and Jonathan White, as well as their skilled defensemen. Port Carling’s three-hour drive home probably seemed longer after being shut out on the strength of goals by Jake

Wales, Keir Doyle, and Tyler Thompson. Jake Murphy, Brennan Moffatt, Noah Kennedy, Ryan Cudd, and Jake Murphy (two) gained assists. Port Carling had been stymied 2-0 in earlier play with Doyle and Kennedy doing the offensive damage. The Bantam Stars had breezed by Stirling in the semifinal 7-1. Doyle (two), Moffatt, Cudd, Landon McDougall, Jake Wales, and Murphy all made the score sheet in that one. Their only close encounter was a 1-1 tie with Glanbrook. Although the locals carried much of the play, their opponents netted on in the middle frame, and it took some nail-biting theatrics in the dying seconds, with their goalie out,

the McCaw Mortgage team, and many volunteers, especially the parents of all the teams who contribute their time. With three ice pads to serve, Tournament Director, Scot Mundle, was very appreciative of the parents who served throughout the three days. Shoo Shoo Maracle took charge of the fundraising aspects of the weekend, and had everything under control. Most of all, NDMH recognizes the months of preparation by Scot himself in organizing this important event that brings people and economic benefit to the area. In league play, the Juvenile A Stars were in Picton on Saturday. The boys played their best all around game of the season coming away with a 3-1 win. Goals were scored by Sloan Creighton, Chris Gervais, and Mike Jordan, with assists to Creighton, Gervais, Tyson Dowdle and Tyler Carefoot. Tyler Carey played a strong game in net.

On Sunday they were in Newcastle to face one of the top clubs. Newcastle started strong with two goals on their first two shots, and then played the intimidation game, with their physical play which turned the game into a penalty filled affair. When the dust settled there were over 100 minutes in penalties with Newcastle getting 71 minutes, including suspensions, while Napanee had 32 penalty minutes, and were suspensionfree. The final score was 74 Newcastle. Napanee goals were scored by Curtis Kimmett, Isaac Bowen, and Jordan (two), with assists to Dylan Vermilyea, Dan Smith, Ethan Embury, Carefoot (two), Bowen, and Dowdle, and Bowen. Next home game is Sunday at 8:30 to face Stirling. n The Atom Roster Select team played their first home exhibition game Sunday against Cobourg Selects, and ended up on the wrong side of a 4-0 shutout. • Interior Design • Home Staging • Window Treatments • Organization • Painting • Colour Consultations

It is with much sadness we wish to announce the passing of our Dear Aunt Betty, Mrs. Jane Elizabeth Cameron (Haight) on November 10, 2012, in her 97th year. Daughter of the late Jennie Cecelia Haight (Phippen) and Wilfred Laurier Haight, sister of the late George Carlton Haight. Survived by her sister Phyllis Smith (Haight), 7 nieces and nephews and extended families. Betty was a Kingston General Hospital nursing graduate and life member of the RN Alumnae and will be sadly missed. She was a kind and gentle person who upon graduating from nursing eventually moved to Toronto and for 6 years was in charge of the Operating rooms at Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College Hospital prior to marrying the love of her life William John Cameron (1911-1999). Once married, they resided near Rochester, NY for many years until returning to Napanee in retirement. Our Aunt Betty was a thoughtful, caring, frugal woman who showed us all (by example) what a true Lady was. She lived by steadfast values, high morals and showed kindness to all. She lived and died by this Huisman poem. Lord, grant me grace throughout this day To walk the straight and narrow way, To do whatever in Your sight Is good and perfect, just and right. Memorial donations may be made to the Red Cross or The Salvation Army Disaster Relief funds or Conway United Church. Arrangements entrusted to Robert J. Reid & Sons, 309 Johnson Street, Kingston.

Local minor hockey team to welcome Fronts to the SPC Stars to practice with OHL team By Adam Prudhomme BEAVER SPORTS alf of the Novice AE Napanee Stars' Christmas wish came true earlier this week, winning the chance to practice with three Kingston Frontenac players at the Strathcona Paper Centre. The local minor hockey squad won the prize by submitting a team photo to the 'Fronts In Your Rink' contest. “We did a Christmas theme, all we want for

Christmas is our two front teeth and the Fronts at our practice,” said Stars head coach Kevin Brown. “We had the kids done up with their Santa Claus hats on and all that stuff.” Some of the six, seven and eight year old Stars may still be missing some teeth, but they did at least secure the practice and free tickets to tomorrow’s Fronts game against the Oshawa Generals at the KRock Centre. Napanee has a block of seats reversed for the game, and will show up in their jerseys. Family and friends were also able to attend the game for a reduced price of $12 a ticket. Of that money, $2 will be donated to the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Next Tuesday the Fronts will send Dylan DiPerna, Mark Beckstead and Slater Doggett to take part in the Stars’ 5 p.m. practice. Members of the public are welcome to drop by and watch the practice as well. “They’re super excited,” Brown says of his players. “They’re all looking forward to it. I’m sure the day of there will be a lot of smiling faces and excitement. We’ll get autographs and it’ll be an experience for them.” A very young team, comprised of mostly 2005 and ‘06 players, Brown says a chance to practice with OHL players will be a great team building experience. So far, facing mostly older teams, the Stars have held their own, going 8-7-1.

“The fact that we’re above .500, the kids are doing great,” added Brown. Who knows, after Tuesday’s practice they may

just pick up a few moves from the Fronts that they can use in their next game. The Fronts in Your Rink contest was open to

all minor hockey teams in the region. A total of 10 teams were selected to have three members of the team attend a practice.

Ladies bonspiel a triumph By Sandy Eastlake ON THE BUTTON NDCC’s annual Ladies Open Bonspiel last Saturday was a huge success thanks to convenor Heather Ramshaw and her committee of Liz Graham, Heather Baker, Jennifer Clarkson and Andy Graham as draw master. A great day was wrapped up with Heather thanking her sponsors Christine Ramshaw, Shirley Bush, Playground Licensed Childcare and raffle donations by Heather Baker, Norma Jackemeck, Gloria Cawley. The Gananoque team of Lynne VanDalen, MacNeil, Tracy Moulton and Kathy Grier defended their last year’s win to again take the trophy. Lynne thanked Heather and all the ladies in the kitchen starting with breakfast by Captain Jane Hough with Robert Hough; lunch by captains Jim and Sandy Kennelly with Elizabeth Vandenberg, Joan Reynolds, Shirley MacDonald; snacks by Liz Graham with Benita Murphy and Sandi McNamee; ending with a delicious supper by Captain Beth Clancey with Ken Clancey, Linda Blake, Lana Jaeger, Lisa Mooney, Mike Seeley, Jane AllenCortes, Linda Bongard, Barry and Doreen Brummel. All the teams received team pictures thanks to Jim Head. The second place team from Garrison, Donna McQuillan thanked Don Currier, Frank Dunham, Daryl Latimer, Drew Easton, Phil Berry for great ice to curl on. Grace Armstrong’s rink from the Picton Curling Club thanked the bar staff of Tom Ayling, Jack Barker, Ken Clancey, Don Currier for keeping her girls happy and coming fourth was our local rink skipped by Gayle Johnson who thanked Heather and all the many, many volunteers it took to make this a bonspiel to remember. Kudos to you – Heather.

Curlers will be happy to know that Team Ontario from the Quinte Curling Club won the 2012 Dominion Canadian Championship (Skip Caroline Deans with Sheri-Lynn Collyer, Kendra Lafleur and Lynn Stapley). TSN will have a one hour special next Sunday highlighting both the men’s and women’s final games. The airing will take place between the Canada Cup games so it will be in the early afternoon on Sunday. They will also be intro-

duced at half time break of the Dominion Skins final on Jan. 20 at 1:00 p.m. They get an all expense paid trip to the Skins at the CasinoRama that week. It is great to have a team from the local zone win this event as it goes to show all of us that any team, anywhere, anyhow, anytime can make a name for themselves and according to Jim Stapley have a lot of fun at the same time. The annual SemiAnnual General Meeting on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Recycling facility plans put to public Local concerns raised about off-site impacts By Seth DuChene EDITOR The prospect of soil and wastewater treatment facilities planned for Goodyear Road did not sit well with a handful of residents living near the site who attended a public meeting on the issue this week. The meeting was one of three public information sessions hosted by the proponent, DL Services, at the Selby Community Hall on Monday. The company is currently seeking zoning approval for the project from Greater Napanee council; in fact, council called on the company engage in public consultation regarding the issue before bringing it back to council for its consideration. The facility will also require approval from the Ministry of Environment, and another public consultation exercise will take place during that process. During the mid-afternoon session, company representatives outlined the basic operation and configuration of the site, along with some of the safeguards that are planned to ensure there are no off-site impacts related to the facility. According to planning engineer Greg Newman of McIntosh Perry, the facility would accept non-haz-

ardous contaminated soils from around the region; the soil would be collected from sites that have been affected by hydrocarbons, salts or metals. “The soils are treated with a bioremediation process or an electrokinetic process,” he said. Once treated, 95 per cent of the soil can be reused. Company officials also said that untreated soils collected from spill sites are generally taken to landfills if they aren’t recycled at sites like the one proposed for Napanee. “Our primary competitor is the landfills. They love soil because it’s cheap, it costs a buck to dump it over garbage, and they take it.,” said Damian Rodriguez, the General Manager of Soil Facilities at Lafleche Leblanc Soil Recycling in Moose Creek, Ont. and who is involved in the development of the Napanee facility. Rodriguez said that about half of the soil which has been recycled at the company’s other two sites at Moose Creek and Brighton come from residential customers. “I believe that this (soil) should have never gone to landfill, because it creates a huge leachate problem and it fills up our landfills. This part of the ‘three Rs’, recycling,” said DL Services owner Doug Leblanc. “This is a costly process, (but) this is better

than landfill. This is recovering soil that is going to be, down the road, an important resource,” said Rodriguez. The facility would also include a wastewater treatment facility. Company officials said they would treat the water then test it, after which it would be discharged to the Greater Napanee wastewater system. Newman did indicate that a ‘non-hazardous’ provision describing the water to be treated had been removed from the application; he said that the substances which could be treated at the site would be regulated by the MOE. The company indicated that a rubber liner would run underneath both the soil and wastewater facilities, and all surface water would be collected at the site would be treated before being released into the municipal treatment system. Monitoring wells will also be established to track any potential offsite impacts. A composting facility originally planned for the site has been removed from the proposal. The soil and wastewater facilities would be located in the centre of a 350-acre parcel of land located directly north of the junction of Goodyear Road and the Kimmett Sideroad. A six-metre “landscape buffer” would ensure that the facility could not be seen from the road or by neighbouring properties, said Newman. Three parcels of land would be used as part of project, all which are currently zoned as industrial. However, two of the parcels are zoned as general industrial, and one is light industrial. The central parcel would be expanded, with westernmost property being partially severed and added to the central parcel.

FACILITIES… Seeking guarantees

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 36

The dozen area residents in attendance at the afternoon session greeted DL Services presentation with skepticism, concerned that the proposed facility would have off-site impacts. Many demanded assurances that the operation wouldn’t affect neighbouring properties. One resident demanded to know how long it would take for the company to clean up a spill on the site. Rodriguez said that contingency plans will be developed as part of the MOE application, and that those plans will be open for public review and comment. “Depending on what happens, there will be a list of step-by-step instructions that we have written of what we’re going to do and the timelines we’re going to do it,” Rodriguez said in response to the prospect of a spill at the site. “When we submit that application to the MOE, that you will have full access to, it will have that contingency plan that will tell you ‘here’s what they will do if the pond fails’, or ‘here’s what they will do if there’s an overflow.’ It will give you the step-by-step and the timeline.” Another nearby resident asked for a guarantee that the company would buy her property if her well ever became contaminated by the new facility. “If you have a spill at your property — for instance, you

ponds have a leak — that’s fractured limestone. We live out there, we’ve been out there for 40 years. We know what the property is like around there. Are you willing, if you should have a leak, and it should contaminate our well, would you buy our property for fair market value and sign a contract saying that you would? If you can’t do that, it means you’re not sure that you won’t have a spill.”

Leblanc told the woman he’d enter into that contract. “If you let me go sample your well, and have another consultant sample your well, if you have any contamination, I’ll buy your house.” Company officials also said concerned residents were welcome to visit current facilities at Moose Creek and Brighton and to talk to neighbours there about the recycling and treatment facilities.

Deseronto’s streets were lined with children of all ages hoping to catch a glimpse of St. Nick, and Santa didn’t disappoint. The annual Deseronto Santa Claus Parade attracted a huge crowd, despite frigid temperatures. Below, some of Santa’s helpers toss candy canes out to spectators along the route.
