Bill 115 fight to continue: TeachersMPP condemns actions of both government and union in ongoing dispute

Limestone District School boardelementary teachers were back inthe classroom Friday, but thatdoesn’t mean their fight againstBill 115 is over.

The Elementary Teachers’ Fed-eration of Ontario and the provin-cial government entered theChristmas break without a resolu-

tion, and neither side appears will-ing to budge. If nothing is settledby next Monday, Bill 115 will offi-cially come into power, giving thegovernment the ability to orderstriking teachers back to work.

“I don’t know what, if anything,(Education Minister LaurelBroten) will do by Dec. 31,” ETFOpresident Mike Lumb said of theteachers’ next step.

Lumb has indicated that theywill continue to fight even if the

bill comes into power, but saysthey haven’t determined whatexactly their actions will be. Heconfirmed that the union contin-ues to push the matter before theSupreme Court of Canada, butnotes that it could take ‘years’before it yields a result.

Lanark, Frontenac, Lennoxand Addington MPP Randy Hillier,a member of the Progressive Con-servative opposition, offered nosympathy for either side when

reached for comment. “Whatwe’re seeing is the inevitabilitywhen you have union leaders act-ing in the same fashion the gov-ernment is acting,” said Hillier.

“They’re both being veryunreasonable and they’re bothbeing very belligerent. They’re act-ing in the same fashion thatthey’re complaining the other sideis being.”

Hillier notes that someteachers are caught in themiddle, forced to cancel allextracurricular activities

and picket or face a $500fine from the union. Hesays he’s spoken to mem-bers of school boards in hisriding who are against theidea of taking job actions.

Lumb has said that hisunion has voted in recordnumbers in support of astrike and he’s merely act-ing on the members’ wish-es.

If the Conservativeswere in power, Hillier saysthey’d handle the situationby allowing all unionmembers the choice of opt-ing out of the union.

“If the union’s not rep-resenting their interests,well they’d be allowed toopt out,” said Hillier. “Thatwould certainly diminishthe ability for union mem-bers to threaten theirmembers with fines of$500 a day.”

He says they’d alsofreeze wages for all 1.3million public serviceworkers, not target specif-

ic groups like teachers,while the province recov-ers from what he called“nine years of spendinglike a drunken sailor”under the Liberals.

“I think that would bethe fair and responsiblething to do and one thatpeople could say there’sequity in,” added Hillier.

Although the rotatingstrikes have forced par-ents to find alternativeday care options, ETFOdid score a minor victoryin the public image battle.A study conducted byForum Research indicates49 per cent of Ontario res-idents supports the teach-ers, while 35 are in favourof the government.

The remaining 16 percent support neither or

were unsure. “We appreciate the

support,” said Lumb.“We’re glad that parentsand Ontarians are takingnotice of what the billmeans, not just for teach-ers but on a more broadscale and what it meansfor Ontario if a govern-ment feels they’re abovethe courts, and the labourboard and the HumanRights Tribunal. Thatbecomes problematic in ademocracy. That’s whywe’re fighting for our dem-ocratic rights.”

Amongst the biggestconcerns for the teachersabout Bill 115 is its abilityto take away their right tostrike, cut sick days in halfto 10 per year and freezetheir wages.

Limestone’s one-daystrike last Thursday waspart of a series of rotatingstrikes held by schoolboards across Ontario.

‘End Time’ false alarm

L E T T E R S

Gov’t,teachersneed towise up

Apocalypse Schmapocalypse.Us 1, Mayans 0.

For years, many had thedate Dec. 21, 2012, markedon their calendar as the daythe world would a) explodein volcanic fire, b) besmashed to bits by a rogueplanet, c) be fried by agamma-ray burst, d) be in-vaded by aliens or e) all ofthe above.

Full disclosure: this waswritten on Dec. 20. So, ifyou’re reading this, you’venot been destroyed by vol-canos, planets, gamma rays,aliens or anything else. (Con-versely, if the apocalypse didoccur, well, nobody is goingto be around to read it, so it’sa win-win for this editorial-ist.) In fact, as this year-endcolumn was being written,there wasn’t hellfire andbrimstone raining from thesky. Just slush. Slushpoca-lypse.

However, the build-up to

this non-event had plenty ofpeople very nervous, and (ob-viously) for no good reason atall. You’d think by now thatpeople would have figuredout that prophecies of theend of the world have apretty poor track record.Like, batting .000 bad. Yetpeople still get sucked in. It’shappened for thousands ofyears, so why should we stopgetting sucked in now?

What was so interesting(to put it politely) was thefact that, as Dec. 21 drewcloser, the more holes werepoked in the Mayan Dooms-day theory. ‘Poked holes’ isputting it politely, too — thattheory held as much water asa bucket with no bottom. As itturned out, the initial inter-pretation of the Mayan scrib-blings from centuries agowere essentially misread.There was never any ‘dooms-day’ predicted. Dec. 21 wassimply the end of one seg-

ment of the Mayan long-count calendar and the begin-ning of a new one — kind oflike the rollover of an odome-ter. You car doesn’t automati-cally blow up when it hits100,000 kilometres, does it?

So, you can add theMayan Doomsday prophecyto every other doomsdaydates that have come andgone. And, soon, 2012 willhave come and gone to. Havea very happy and prosperousnew year, from everyone hereat The Napanee Beaver.

Even though I have not had kidsin school since the 1980s, I still,up until now, pay my taxes —which includes school taxes —without complaint.

Now, however, we have a situ-ation going on that makes it im-possible for students to getinvolved in extracurricular activ-ities and more education becausethe government, unions andteachers decided to create thisstrike situation.

What are you all thinking?I place the entire blame for

this on all levels of government,unions and teachers. And do notgive me the usual excuse that it is‘not my jurisdiction’. That is justso much crap.

The only losers are the stu-dents. So wake up and get all youracts together.

Remember, everyone, there isonly one taxpayer and the expec-tation is for all levels to handle fi-nances properly and with respect.This is currently not happening intoo many circumstances, not theleast in education.

Now Ontario, with a non-gov-erning government due toMcGuinty shutting down the leg-islature, we have no leadershipnor opposition — not that we hadmuch before.

Go big or go home.I guess we all know the an-

swer to that!B. Colling,

Picturing Our Community

Seth DuChene-Staff

Makenzi Montpetit (left) and Matthew Thompson, both Grade 7 students at Odessa PublicSchool’s Challenge Program, were busy this month collecting toys for the Napanee SalvationArmy. The boys’ toy drive was part of the ‘Challenge for Change’ project undertaken by theirclass. Montpetit and Thompson dropped off their donations at the Salvation Army just intime for Christmas.

The barred owl barely gave us asecond glance as we drew upbeside it along Bongard Cross-road, east of Lake on the Moun-tain. It turned its head slowlyand gave us the once over, jetblack eyes accenting the sinuousvertical streaking on its breast,offset by the horizontal barringacross its throat. We moved on aswe had other roads to cover andopen waters to scan.

This was the annual Christ-mas Bird Count, or CBC as it isbetter known among the birdingtypes. I had parties of enthusias-tic observers out everywherewithin a 24 km circle, centeringon Waupoos Island. Despite thebitter northeast winds, I evenhad two observers out in a boatcovering Smith’s Bay and PrinceEdward Bay and Waupoos Islanditself. A local kayaker surveyedall of Lake on the Mountain. AtPrince Edward Point, twoKingston birders leaned into thewind, their eyes watering as theycounted thousands of ducksthrough binoculars and spottingscope. Still within the survey cir-cle, another party checked thewaters of Hay Bay, and at LongPoint, two car loads of observersbraved questionable side roadswhere even off roaders some-times fear to challenge. Hardysouls, these birders.

We were one of 120 regis-tered counts for Ontario, andclose to 500 counts across Cana-

da. Over 12,000 volunteersacross Canada – and over 60,000continent wide – are out in thefield during a three week periodduring the Christmas seasoncounting birds that they see. TheChristmas Bird Count is a proj-ect of the National AudubonSociety in the United States andis coordinated in Canada by BirdStudies Canada. For birders, itmay be a fun thing, but the datagleaned from these counts are atthe heart of hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific studies. Pro-gram coordinator Dick Can-nings, says, “Birds are early indi-cators of environmental threatsto habitats we share and thecount constitutes a vital surveyof North America.”

Now entering its 113th year,the popular bird count actuallybegan in 1900 when ornithologistFrank Chapman became upsetwith what had been a holiday“side hunt” when teams compet-ed to see how many birds theycould shoot in a single day. Chap-man proposed that people countbirds instead, and the rest is his-tory. These counts not only docu-ment declines in populations, butalso success stories like winter-ing robins, and a record numberof almost 100,000 red-breastedmergansers during last winter’scount. And, if you think all birdsgo south for the winter, thinkagain. Last winter, on this oneday event, Long Point in Lake

Erie tallied 111 species, thelargest number for any count inOntario. Locally, counts are alsoheld at Presqu’ile, Kingston,Belleville and Amherst Island.

Results from this year’sPrince Edward Point Count arestill being tabulated from thealmost 30 observers who man-aged to round up several baldeagles, barred owl (more thanjust ours), red-bellied woodpeck-ers, ravens, along with the morecommon species. One party founda flock of 256 Bohemianwaxwings. Interestingly, almostabsent from the scene this seasonwere any wintering robins orbluebirds, or yellow-rumped war-blers, all of them regulars onevery count, often in large num-

bers. This was believed to beattributable to a poor wild berrycrop this year upon which thesebirds feed.

Prince Edward County hasheld its count since 1977. Withthe help of computer savvyfriends, we have been able toimport the data from thesenumerous counts into an Excelspreadsheet which provides uswith some interesting detailsregarding local populations, aswell as highs and lows, and longterm averages. Maps, originallypoor quality copies of copies fromcopies of copies, were digitizedlast year, thanks to the efforts ofQuinte Conservation. Thesemaps, depicting the individualareas for each of the parties, arenow e-mailed out to the partyleaders each year. Since being aone-time compiler for theBelleville count some 40 yearsago, and now the compiler for thePrince Edward count, I have seensome dramatic changes in theway the counts are organized,

results compiled and sent toheadquarters. The PrinceEdward Count has really gonehigh tech! The old fold out mapsand penciled-in tally sheets frompast years are now just kept onfile as something of a curiosity.

As well as providing valuableinsight into what birds are win-tering with us every year, theannual bird count providesincentive to birders to remainactive through the winter, and tokeep their spotting scopes andbinoculars in use. With over 100species of birds expected in theQuinte area every winter, it can-not be denied that there are lotsaround to keep birders happy,even during the three leanmonths of the year.

Great concert, great generosity

Canada’s federal government has unveiled three new fed-eral programs under Growing Forward 2, Canada’s agri-cultural policy framework. The government says the newprograms — called AgriInnovation, AgriMarketing andAgriCompetitiveness — will focus on strategic initiativesin innovation, market development and competitivenessto improve the sector’s capacity to grow and prosper.

The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) supportsthe new programs, and we anticipate they have the poten-tial to help farmers in an increasingly complicated world.Too often great ideas about new products or processes dieon the table because there is too little support on commer-cialization of new ideas. The OFA anticipates the newAgriInnovation Program — which is intended to focus oninvestments to expand capacity to develop and commer-

cialize new productsand technologies —will go a long way inanswering this need.

The AgriMarketingProgram appears to

have a broad mandate, and includes developing industry’scapacity to adopt assurance systems to meet consumerand market demands. These systems may include foodsafety and traceability initiatives, such as those that arehappening on farms and food processing facilities acrossCanada at the moment, and have tremendous potentialfor growth and expansion.

The AgriMarketing program is also expected to sup-port industry in maintaining and seizing new markets fortheir products through branding and promotional activi-ties. These goals are consistent with some goals in theNational Food Strategy, which OFA helped to spearheadwith our colleagues across Canada through our federalcounterparts at the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.The National Food Strategy is a collective vision forCanadian agriculture, and includes key objectives thataddress the need to brand Canadian food as a premiumchoice at home, and in markets outside of our borders.

The Ontario Federation of Agriculture also looks for-ward to further details on the new AgriCompetitivenessProgram, which the government says will help strengthenthe agriculture and agri-food industry’s capacity to adaptand be profitable in domestic and global markets. Canadi-an agriculture’s food safety and production standards areamong the highest in the world. Unfortunately, those stan-dards can be a hindrance when Canadian farmers need tocompete with similar products on the world stage. OFAlooks forward to strong government support that will leadto capacity development and support in other factors thatkeep Canadian agriculture growing strong.

Keith Currie is an executive member of the OFA.

A trip through the pages ofThe Napanee Beaver

70 Years AgoDecember 30, 1942

n While the new year was usually a busytime for local municipal elections, the transi-tion into 1943 was particularly quiet inLennox and Addington.Only two municipalities in the county

were scheduled to have elections — all othermunicipal posts were already secured byacclamation.The two exceptions were Bath, where

there would be elections for councillor posi-tions, and in Adolphustown, where all coun-cil positions were up for grabs. The electionswere to take place on Jan. 6. n Boxing Day was no cause for celebration inBath this year.The village sustained a significant blow

when a serious fire destroyed an entire block.Many of the homes located there were 100years old, or older.The fire also caused 14 families to be forced

out into the cold when their homes went up inflames.The cause of the fire was not known, but

was believed to have started in barber shopand billiard hall in the early morning hours.There were no injuries due to the fire, butsome had to be treated for exposure due to thebitterly cold weather.

35 Years AgoDecember 28, 1977

n Some local municipalities were consideringpossible amalgamations as 1977 was coming toa close.The Township of Adolphustown was in

talks with both South Fredericksburgh andNorth Fredericksburgh townships. An amal-gamation possibility was to see the southernportion of Adolphustown joined with SouthFredericksburgh, and the northern part ofAdolphustown joined with North Adolphus-town. n A group of Napanee residents was explor-ing the possibility of enhancing recreationalopportunities for children in the town.The group, led by Sylvia Akey and Denise

Perry, made a presentation to the town’srecreation committee, and provided for themsurvey results showing an interest amongcommunity members for recreation opportu-nities such as sleigh rides, arts and craftsand skating.The questionnaires had been distributed

to Napanee elementary schools. w w w . n a p a n e e b e a v e r . c o m

Recently, a John Grange merchantcrock, stamped ‘Front Street Napa-nee’, sold at a Tim Potter auctionhere for $ 2,200, amazing the crowd.That merchant’s drug store occupiedspace where the first local branch ofthe Bank of Montreal stood on Dun-das Street in the mid 1840s. OneJohn T. Grange sat on the first towncouncil in 1864.

Think back to when the first peo-ples called Napanee, Appaneabecause of the thundering waterfallat Springside Park. The birthplace ofthe original settlement was calledClarksville. Imagine years beforeConfederation when most of GreaterNapanee was wilderness, the hubbeing a few farms and homesteads onthe south side of the river above thefalls. It was Allan Macpherson, theLaird of Napanee and the secondowner of the large mill built in 1786,who decided that land was bettersuited to habitation on the northernside of the river.

Wonder at the simplicity of thevillage site then, without the GrandTrunk Railway bridge yet, only a sim-ple river crossing there from south tonorth. The laird built a fine Geor-gian-style frame homestead facingthe mill and settlement that was

often visited by Canada’s first PrimeMinister, Sir John A. MacDonald.

Ponder that there was no seriousdevelopment beyond this locale at thetime. This did not mean that otherthings weren’t happening in thesprawling northern countryside that

would become Lennox and AddingtonCounty. United Empire Loyalists, inparticular, set their backs to thewheel of agriculture and commerce totransform one of the most interestingnatural settings in the Napanee Val-ley. Most recently, this newspaperand Orland French published anoverview of the county's historicalgeography that emphasizes itsuniqueness, Lennox and Addington.

The laird’s mill brought peopletogether to grind grain while othermills planed their lumber. Veryquickly, faith in its various forms fol-lowed, firstly in lowly dwellingsbefore more permanent ones could bebuilt.One of the first was the Churchof England’s frame dwelling, near theLaird’s on Church Street.

The county town is well docu-mented beginning with the register-ing of births and deaths in thesechurches. The L&A Gazetter proved awide source of interest. In 1913,Wal-ter S. Herrington published anotherhistorical sketch on Napanee'sgrowth and in the run up to the cen-tenary in 1964, the county historicalsociety produced the now well wornHistorical Glimpses of Lennox andAddington County, highlighting theimportance of the county seat.

Today, many of the first buildingsthat drove the economy of Napaneeare gone, but many others remain.This column hopes to remind us ofthe rich heritage we possess here andthe importance of preserving it.

Ironically, it is now tourism,one ofthe new growth industries, thatdepends in large part on the preser-vation of our lasting legacy and as wecan see from the price of the Grangemerchant crock, well worth keeping.

OPP ‘ring’ in New Yearwith texting-and-driving blitz

Napanee’s OPP officers areurging teens to give athumbs up to the idea ofnot texting while driving.

As part of their FestiveRIDE program, local policeofficers will be handing outblue elastic thumb bandsto serve as reminders notto text while driving. Theband is symbolic in thatmost people use theirthumbs to type on cellphones.

“It’s becoming moreand more prevalent,”Napanee OPP Staff Ser-geant Scott Semple said oftexting while driving. “It’salmost surpassingimpaired drivers becausewe’re running into inci-dents where people arebeing serious injured, orcausing accidents or evendying because they’re tex-ting.”

Legislation banningtexting while driving came

into effect in October 2009,which Sgt. Semple says hashad its drawbacks. Officersnow have the authority tocharge drivers who do it,but it doesn’t mean they’vestopped thedange r ou spractice.

“ N o wpeople hideit becausethey don’twant to getcaught,” hesaid. “Nowyou’re notonly dis-tracted bythe device,now you’rel o o k i n gdown at the device.”

“People are lookingdown and trying to hide it,”added Constable JackiePerry. “If somebody that’simpaired is coming towardsyou, you’re not even goingto have a chance to takeevasive action.”

While everyone is atrisk, more often it’s teens

who are engaging in tex-ting while driving.

“We go into all the highschools, North Addington,Ernestown and NDSS, withthe Drive for Life Cam-

paign,” saidPerry. “It’sfocused oni m p a i r e ddriving, alco-hol anddrugs. Theyhave addedthe texting toit so we do apresentationaround tex-ting anddriving.”

To helpstress her

point, Cst. Perry encour-ages all young drivers tovisit Youtube and search‘The Last Text.’ The 10minute video, put togetherby AT&T, presents chillingtales of teens who causedfatal accidents while typ-ing out messages like ‘Lol’or ‘Yeah’.

“It’s very to the point,”

Sgt. Semple said of thevideo. “The majority of fatal-ities for teenage driverswhere its been linked to tex-ting, the messages areinsignificant. They’re some -thing that could have wait-ed, it was not an emergency.”

If a text has to be reador sent, officers urge driv-ers to simply look for a safespot to pull over and park.

The long arm of the lawis also continuing its crackdown of drinking and driv-ing this holiday season anddrivers are warned thatRIDE checks could showup anywhere.

Drivers below the legallimit have nothing to worryabout and could evenreceive a free bottle ofwater from Pure CountryBottled Water if they passthrough a check point.

Sgt. Semple says hand-ing something out to driv-ers obeying the rules of theroad makes for a morepleasant interactionbetween drivers and theofficers.


‘It’s becomingmore and moreprevalent. It’salmost surpass-ing impaireddrivers.’

GRIEF COUNSELLING


Welder finds ‘enlightening’ artistic outlet

Adam Prudhomme - Staff

Dean Martin said he was more than happy to lend his welding skills towards fashioning a series of Christ-mas images that line the town’s parks this holiday season.

Hard as it may be to believe, the framework of the daz-zling Christmas light displays found in Springside andConservation Parks can be attributed to one man with apassion for welding.

Dean Martin, whose day job is battling blazes withGreater Napanee Fire Services, also knows his wayaround a workshop. When not on duty, he spent much ofthe autumn creating the 40 Christmas decorations foundalong the shores of the Napanee River.

“I’m a welder-fitter by trade,” said Martin. “That’swhat I did before I became a firefighter. I was approachedby our fire chief (Terry Gervais) when (General Managerof Community and Corporate Services) James Timlin firststarted with the town. I guess he was talking to the chiefabout (Christmas displays) and the chief mentioned myname and asked if I’d be interested.”

Supplied with materials and some design ideas, Mar-tin got to work in late August, bending and welding themetal into everything from Santa Claus cutouts to an elfrock n’ roll band. He estimates the smaller designs tookhim about three and a half hours while the bigger onestook an entire day. He did most of the work at the GreaterNapanee town barns, without some of the typical tools ofthe trade. He had to get a little creative when it came tobending the pieces, using clips to help craft the metal intothe right shape.

Once he was done, he handed the pieces over to thetown in early November, where a group of volunteers gotbusy stringing the lights around the cut outs.

“The guys and gals that actually put the lighting onhad quite a task on their hands,” said Martin. “That wasa lot of work.”

The end result has given the town the perfect compli-ment to the Big Bright Light Show, which features thou-sands of LED lights illuminating a block of businesses onDundas Street.

“I’m happy the way it turned out and I was happy Iwas approached by the town to do it,” said Martin. “I lookforward to building more next year and adding more to it.I hope that’s the plan.”

Word of Napanee’s Christmas display has begun tospread around the Kingston and Belleville area and Mar-tin hears people have made trips specifically to see thelights for themselves.

“Anything that I’ve heard is very good,” said Martin.“It’s nice to see for the town. I was happy to do it. It’s justsomething to draw more people into the town and it’scheery.”

As much as he’s willing to help out for next year, he ishoping to not have to work at such a feverish pace. Awhole year to work on the project would be a welcomechange as opposed to two-and-a-half months.

It may be the holidays, butthe need for blood andblood products doesn’t takeany time off.

That in mind, Canadi-an Blood Services is asking

for “miracle workers” —blood donors — to providea “holiday miracle” byrolling up their sleevesbetween Christmas andNew Year’s

Tomorrow, CBS is hold-ing a blood donor clinic atthe Strathcona Paper Cen-

tre in Napanee. The clinicruns from 2:30-7:30 p.m.

“We’d like to thankCanadians who took thetime to donate blood so farthis holiday season, but weneed that generosity tocontinue through the endof the year, particularly the

days after Christmas rightup to the first week of theNew Year,” says CBSspokesperson Linda Math-er “As the year draws to anend, do something thatembodies the spirit andgenerosity of the season —give blood. It costs younothing, and it’ll givesomeone a holiday mira-cle.”

According to the CBS,it’s a challenge to collect

blood during the holidayseason since donors areoften away or busy withother activities. Neverthe-less, many patients willspend their holiday receiv-ing cancer treatment orundergoing life-saving sur-gery or emergency care.

The blood agency esti-mates that it needs 25,000Canadians to donate bloodduring the last week of2012 in order to meet all

the needs of patients.CBS hopes to see at

least 120 donors take partin Napanee’s clinic tomor-row.

Those able to give bloodare asked to visitwww.blood.ca online or call1-888-2-DONATE (1-888-236-6283) to book anappointment for the clinic.Also, those who bookappointments are urged tohonour them.

Few junior hockeyteams are longing tosee the calendar flip

to 2013 more than theNapanee Raiders.

Between injuries in thelatter half of last seasonand a youth movementushered in this past Sep-tember, times have beentough for the once fearedRaider empire.

Though they ultimatelysuffered an early playoffexit in the first round inFebruary, they were just asclose to pulling off a mira-cle. Napanee was down 0-2in the best-of-five seriesbefore rattling off wins inGame 3 and 4. They pushedthe Port Hope Panthers toovertime in Game 5 beforelosing in heartbreakingfashion.

Colin Doelman becamethe second straight Raiderto capture the Empire BLeague scoring title, follow-ing in Dan Long’s footsteps.Like Long, he too did it inhis final year of eligibility.

Rookies Taylor Brownand Nolan Powers

impressed so much thatthey were recruited tomake the jump from JuniorC to A in the off-season.

Unfortunately for theRaiders their tough luck inthe playoffs was foreshad-owing of what was to

T h u r s d a y , D e c e m b e r 2 7 , 2 0 1 2 n P a g e 1 5

NDSS Golden HawkChristian Howeshad his own person-

al cheering section atToronto’s Downsview Parkon Dec. 6, rooting him on ascompeted in the DamonAllen High School Quarter-back Challenge.

Though there was over100 high school quarter-backs at the event, NDSSwas the only school thatsent a pom cheer team aswell. That meant Howeshad plenty of vocal supportas he showcased his foot-work, ability to throw onthe run, accuracy and dis-tance.

“All around there wassome really good quarter-backs,” Howes said of theevent. “I think I performedquite well.”

Though only the topwinners were revealed,Howes feels he placed inthe top 20 at the event. Thetop seed won a four year,$5,000 per year scholar-ship at any Ontario univer-sity.

“Really it was justbeing able to take beingquarterback to the secondstep,” Howes said of hisfavourite part. “I’ve alwaysjust played here but Ialways wanted to do some-

thing like this, I’ve justnever had the opportunity.”

Given the chance by hiscoach Brian Heaton, heembraced every minute ofit, even getting to meet theCFL legend who lends hisname to the event.

“He spoke to all thequarterbacks,” Howes saidof Allen. “He was a reallynice guy and very inspira-tional.”

As a four time GreyCup champion, two timeall-star and 2005 recipientof the CFL’s Most Out-standing Player, Allen cer-tainly has the credentialsto offer advice.

Howes is hoping toreturn to the event nextyear and is aiming to pur-sue playing football at thepost secondary level andeventually CFL.

“It was a learning expe-rience for everybody,” he

said. “If you are good youhave a great chance at aprize. It makes everybodybetter. I believe I improved

a lot.”Originally the event

was scheduled to be both aquarterback challenge and

cheer team competition.When teachers began tak-ing action against Bill 115,most school’s cheer teams

canceled their trip.Because the Limestoneboard hadn’t taken thoseactions yet, NDSS was theonly cheer team at theevent.

“We were kind of frus-trated when we found outthere were no other teamsthere,” said Katie Brunner,member of the cheer team.“In the end we did have alot of fun. It was really laidback and we didn’t havethe stress of competing.”

Being the only 12 girlsthere in uniform, they werethe centre of attention allweekend.

“I’ve never had so manypictures taken in my life,”said Kayla Shepherd, alsoa member of a team.

All sponsors of theevent and even Allen him-self called the girls over tobe in a photograph.

All eyes were on themduring their routine aswell.

“I started choreograph-ing the routine four weeksbefore the event,” saidMadison Hudgins. “Eachpractice they learned a lit-tle more and by the end wehad a three minute rou-tine.”

They had to quicklyimprovise a second routinethat they performed laterin the day.

The Deseronto Storm’stransition from theGreater Metro HockeyLeague to the Empire BJunior C hasn’t gonesmoothly, as they’ve takenup residence in theleague's basement.

After months of specu-lation and rumours theStorm bolted from the ‘out-law’ league in April. Theyleft behind a 22-17-3 recordin their final GMHL cam-paign, losing to eventualleague champion SturgeonFalls in Game 5 of the best-of-five quarter-finals. Teamowner Adam Maracle citedtravel costs as a huge rea-son for the switch, notingthat the farthest they trav-el now is Port Hope, lessdistance than their old

closest rival. Top scorers John

Sweet, Andrew Bobas andSean Anderson all movedon in the off-season. Sweetmade a run at the league’s2012 MVP award, finishingwith 48 goals and 39

assists in 31 games played.He was the only Stormplayer to take home anyhardware, earning theMost Sportsmanlike Playertrophy.

Turbulent year for Storm

They did tweak thedance a bit so they includethe Hawk mascot, played

by Charlotte Gurnsey.“I was going to be on

the team but I ended upbeing not able to do itbecause I had a lot of con-

flict with school and mywork,” said Gurnsey. “I gotto be a part of it anyway.”

As the only mascotthere, she’s hoping nextyear there will be more sothey could have a dancebattle.

“It’s more fun becauseno one can see your face,”she added. “You can just dowhatever you want andjust goof around.”

The entire teamexpressed gratitude totheir coach, Karen Randall,for taking them on the trip.Brunner noted it was agreat team building experi-ence, getting to know herteammates like neverbefore.

“It’s for a really goodcause,” added Hudgins.“It’s all for charity and it’sall for the right reasonsand it was a lot of fun.”

Though not a rigorousperformance, the experi-ence could come in handy ifthey choose to enter theBig East Blast, held thiscoming February inKingston.

The girls also weren’tcomplaining that therewere 100 quarterbackswandering around either.

André Roy took over ashead coach but resigned inNovember after the youngteam got off to a roughstart.

Through 26 games ofthe 2012-13 season they’vecompiled a 7-18-1 recordand would need a miracleto catch the Rebels, whothey trail by 17 points, forthe final playoff spot.

Napanee took on Port Hopelast Friday. Results weren'tknown at presstime.

Though 2012 didn’tgenerate much in the wayof team highlights, there isreason to believe 2013 willbe better. While far fromperfect, the current crop ofrookies show signs of apromising future.

Zach-Knapp Hermer,just 16, has held his ownand shows signs of develop-ing into a scoring threat.He's potted six goals andadded 11 assists in his first26 games and will be givenmore responsibility shouldhe return next year. EvanBrown, also a rookie, hasseven goals and sevenassists in 26 games.

Bud Norris has shownsteady improvement in hissecond year, already sur-passing last year's ninegoals and five assists withnine goals and 10 helpersin nine fewer games.

As skilled as they’vebeen in player develop-ment and avoiding rebuild-ing years, Napanee wasbound to eventually experi-ence a lull. There’s no ques-tion 2012 hasn’t producedthe results their fans havebeen accustomed to, butone fifth place finish in 23years is tough to complainabout.

Earlier this month theywelcomed back AdamShulist, who was once inthe running to be theirteam captain in the off-sea-son. He returned afterspending some time outwest and was a welcomesight for the scuffling club.

Despite their record,the last quarter of this sea-son should provide plentyof things to watch as rook-ies began stating their casefor next year. Come the off-season the front office willbe eager to make somenoise in 2013.

Sweet, a native ofDeseronto, remains in theleague playing for Mat-tawa.

He spent some timewith the Raiders in thefirst half of last seasonbefore opting for theGMHL style of play.

Since moving to thenew league the Storm havebecome the proverbialsmall fish in a big pondteam, limping to a 3-24record at the Jr. C level.Few players on the youngteam had any Junior Clevel, and it's been a strug-gle to say the least.

Early on they lookedlike they might hold theirown in the league, losing 5-4 on Sept. 21 in their firstgame and winning 3-2 intheir second on Sept. 23.

Since then they’veshown flashes of beingcompetitive but suspen-sions stemming from vio-lating league rules at arookie party earlier thismonth have taken its toll.

After years of speculat-ing which town had thebetter hockey team, theStorm finally squared offagainst the NapaneeRaiders on Sept. 21. Inseven meetings Napaneehas won five times and theStorm twice. They’ll meetfor the final time this sea-son on Jan. 4 in Deseronto.Game time is 8:30 p.m.

Hold over Brett Mara-cle leads the team in scor-ing with 10 goals and fiveassists in 24 games played.Jared Boomhower is rightbehind him with nine goalsand five helpers.

By definition the Stormdon't qualify as an expan-sion team, but they areexperiencing all the motionsthat almost all start up

teams face. They can resteasy knowing they at leastwon't be shutout out of thewin column like the 2009-10Frontenac Flyers.

Deseronto’s hoping toget all their suffering overwith and build a solid foun-dation for years to come.After a less than inspiringstart to their GMHL life,they were able to build aperennial contending teamby their third year of exis-tence, claiming the title intheir fourth.

As rough as the latterhalf of 2012 has been, his-tory indicates there’s rea-son to hope 2013 will be

better. Deseronto took on

Campbellford last Friday.Results weren’t known atpresstime.

They’ll return hometomorrow night to host thePort Hope Panthers at 8:30p.m. On Saturday they hitthe road to face the Rebelsin Campbellford.

Their hopes for theplayoffs may be dashed,but they can try to delaythe inevitable for as long aspossible.

They can also giveother teams fits as theyspoil their hopes for clinch-ing the top playoff seed.

HAVE A HAPPYMOO YEAR!

What do iPhones, anti-lock brakes, probiotic yogurt and orchids have in common?15 years ago none of these items were ingrained in popular culture. Today youcan buy any of them ‘off the shelf ’ so to speak. We take their availability at ourlocal retailer as a given.

In spite of their new level of popularity, home grown orchids are still misun-derstood. Chief among these ‘misunderstanding’ is that orchids are hard to grow.This is not necessarily so: let me put it into perspective.

Grow an Orchid: grow a treeThe orchid family is the largest in the plant world. Surprisingly, common

horse chestnut and northern catalpa trees belong in it. So if you said, “I wouldlike to grow an orchid” some smart aleck salesperson could take you out to thetree section of the nursery. I know this is hardlywhat you have in mind.

Most people who are just starting out withorchids are looking for a long-flowering, easy tocare for plant with exotic flowers and a generalhabit of reblooming without much fuss. Ahhh! That narrows it down. No trees inthat category.

There are orchids that are so easy to care for that I put them in the same cat-egory as African violets: only orchids are easier.

If you enjoy ignoring your indoor plants, allowing them to go dry for long peri-ods of time, I have the answer for you. And many of your friends are going to thinkthat your brown thumb morphed into the greenest of green!

Orchids go MainstreamThe availability of orchids today is testament to advances made in plant prop-

agation through a technique called ‘meristem propagation’. This is not Franken-stein genetics: fact is meristem propagation was first used by Karl von Nägeli in1858. We have merely perfected the process since then and put it into production.

Orchids consist of more than 26,000 species and143,000 hybrids (about 1,500 of which are naturallyoccurring, including many that grow here in Canada).Most orchids sold for use in the home are members ofthese three families: Phalaenopsis, Paphiopedilum andDendrobium. They are reliable indoor performers that tol-erate our dry air in winter, the low light of our northernlatitude and their limited root mass makes for the perfectwindow sill plant.

I will classify the popular orchids according to theamount of care that they require and their desired loca-tion in your home:

PhalaenopsisThis is the most popular of orchids for the home gar-

dener. They are epiphytic, which means that they grow intrees and rocks in the tropics. When the bloom fades, cutthe stems below the last flower, just above a node (wherethe leaf meets the stem). In most cases a new stem willdevelop and it will re-flower.

Location: warm home, low light conditions. If space islimited, look for a miniature Phalaenopsis.

Light: no direct sun. Enjoys a north facing (low light)window but prefers an east facing one.

Temperature: low of 18°C and high of 29°C. Humidity: stand in a tray of pebbles among a group of

like-minded plants. Mist leaves with tepid water oftenincluding the roots that are exposed.

ReBlooming: Three weeks of cooler (18 °C) tempera-tures will ‘kick start’ this orchid into reblooming.

Paphiopedilum (say that slowly or just call them ‘Paph’for short)

Chances are this is the variety of orchid that waseither given to you or that you gave on the night of yourhigh school prom. (Do kids do that anymore?)

These are ‘ground dwellers’ (terrestrial) orchids thatgrow naturally in tropical and subtropical Asia. They areeasily identifiable by their pouch-like lip, much like ournative ‘Lady Slipper’ orchids. This is a spectacular specieswith gorgeous single blooms born on a stem ranging incolour from white, green, brown, claret, red, yellow andpink.

Location: defused light to direct sunshine. Versatile. Temperature: low of 13°C this time of year to 24°C in

summer. Generally they like it cool. Green-leavedhybrids are the toughest of them all vs. varieties withmottled leaves.

Special needs: humidity using a pebble tray increaseshumidity. Misting can cause mould.

CambriaOriginally known as a ‘vuylstekeara’, there is no need foryou to know or remember this. Point is Cambria orchidsprovide a spray of bloom on a single stem that is quiteimpressive.

Location: diffused light, north or west facing windowis ideal most of the year. North is favoured during theintense summer time.

Temperature: low of 13°C and high in the summer of24°C.

Humidity: group with other plants and use a pebbletray with water in the bottom of it to raise humidity, espe-cially in late spring and summer. In winter reduce tem-peratures and watering frequency. Fertilize with halfstrength Schultz orchid fertilizer.

L&A COUNTY! FIRST

EDITION

Published In Canada

THIS time of year isfull of all sorts of tra-ditions, though most

of them don’t involve binoc-ulars.

The annual ChristmasBird Count is an exception.

The bird count wasoriginally organized by theNational Audubon Societyin the United States in1900 to take stock of birdspecies. Eventually, thesurvey was expanded toinclude Canada; here, the

bird count is co-ordinatedby Bird Studies Canada.

According to localorganizer Anne Brown, abird count has taken placein Napanee for about 30years. “It has ebbed andflowed over the years,” shereplied when asked aboutparticipation levels, addingthat there seems to be anincreased level of interestin recent years.

“I think that people area little bit more aware andtaking on a more activeoutdoor lifestyle thesedays,” she says. “Birding isa pretty inexpensive pas-

time for people to have.”The survey tracks bird

populations and indirectlytracks environmentaltrends and impacts. “Thisis not just about countingbirds,” says Dick Cannings,Bird Studies Canada pro-gram co-ordinator. “Datafrom the Christmas BirdCount are at the heart ofhundreds peer-reviewedscientific studies andinform decisions by wildlifemanagers across Canada.Because birds are earlyindicators of environmen-tal threats to habitats weshare, this is a vital survey

of North America and,increasingly, the westernhemisphere.”

Brown says that resultsof the local survey hasreflected those environ-mental impacts as well.“Last year, there was adecrease in songbirds,” shesaid, adding that the mostlikely culprit was the dev-astating oil spill along theGulf Coast in the U.S. Shealso said that they’ve seena decrease in other birdspecies because of habitatloss in the north.

“We have see (more)

water birds because of theclimate, there’s lots of openwater,” she added.

On the day of the birdcount, the birders will beassigned a specific territo-ry to cover and count birds.Often, more experiencedbirders will be teamed withless experienced observers.“We go out in groups of atleast two people,” she said.

The entire territory tobe covered by the Napaneebird count stretches fromSandhurst Shores in thesouth to just beyond Selbyin the north, from Deseron-

to to the west to Newburghin the east.

Those looking to partic-ipate in the Napanee birdcounty should gather atTammy’s Country Kitchenon Dec. 29 at 7 a.m. Birdersof all skill levels are wel-come to attend. Thoseinterested in being ‘feederwatchers’ — observingtheir own bird feeders andsending in results — arealso invited to participate.To register for the birdcount or to register as afeeder watcher, call Brownat 613-542-8790.
