Council declines to pass new animal care bylaw Feared costs, duplication of OSPCA regs prompt council to back away BY SETH DUCHENE

meanwhile, said that he believes that the draft bylaw was too subjective. “I don’t find this does anything for us. I find it to be ambiguous in places. ‘The owner is to supply suitable habitat.’ That doesn’t tell me a whole lot. That’s somebody’s opinion,” he said. Councillor Wenda Lalande, who initially began working on developing the new municipal regulations to cover animal care, argued that the new bylaw wouldn’t burden the township’s budget to a significant degree. “It’s a complaint-driven thing; nobody’s going to be driving around looking for issues,” she said. “It’s basically one neighbour saying, ‘I don’t feel that the animal living beside me is well taken care of. I have concerns about that animal’s safety.’ So, this bylaw would be addressing that issue, and it would only be based on a complaint.” She also said that the OSPCA’s regulations were limited in protecting animals. “The way our bylaws are set up right now, there is no protection for these animals at all. The OSPCA is a volunteer organization. This simply brings it into a more formal environment, and I don’t believe the costs would be prohibitive, or even a small ripple in the pond of what our animal control person is already experiencing.”

Stone Mills council declined to pass a new bylaw that would attempt to address instances of animal neglect in the municipality. Council voted to 4-2 at its regular meeting Monday night to file the draft bylaw, which was brought forward due to concerns over round-the-clock tethering of dogs in the township. Hunting dogs and livestock would have been exempt from the bylaw. Some council members, however, said they felt that current Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals guidelines covered issues related to animal care; further, they said they were worried that enforcement of the new bylaw would mean added expenses for the township. “I think we need to let sleeping dogs lie and scrap this bylaw, and let the OSPCA take care of any challenges we have with regard to dogs in the municipality,” said Councillor Martha Embury, who introduced the motion to file the draft bylaw, effectively bringing discussion on the proposed new regulation to a close. “I can understand both sides of the table, I just can’t see incurring the cost with a bylaw that’s already been covered,” said Councillor Deb Thompson. Councillor Doug Davison,

Editor

While it’s not unusual to find dramatics at a playoff hockey game, it was drama of a far more critical sort during a postseason tilt between the Napanee Raiders and the Campbell-

attack in the stands. For the first time in the arena’s history, staff had to use an automated external defibrillator in order to revive the man, who was unresponsive. Staffmembers Shane Asselstine, Jason Booker and Al Whitfield were on duty at the arena when the man fell

ill. One member of the public, Shaun Fredenburgh, also helped administer CPR. After the interventions, the man regained consciousness. Moments later, L&A paramedics were on scene and taking the man to hospital. According to Greater

Napanee Emergency Services General Manager and Fire Chief Terry Gervais, the man was “alive and well and conscious and doing well at the hospital” after being transported there by ambulance. “It’s pretty cool stuff. They definitely saved a life,” said Gervais.

Although staffmembers aren’t often called on to provide this kind of lifesaving service, it’s something they train for with yearly refresher courses, said Gervais. “That’s the way the system is designed. That’s why this was a save,” the chief said.

The minivan was reportedly towing an open utility trailer with a dog tied inside of it. Callers were concerned as the temperature was -9 degrees C, without factoring in wind chill. An officer observed the vehicle and trailer and stopped it near Odessa. The officer noted a dog tied by a leash huddled inside the trailer. A 24-year-old Trenton man was charged with causing unnecessary suffering to an animal contrary to Section 445.1 of the Criminal Code. The dog, believed to be a husky cross, was placed inside the van after the driver received his appearance notice for provincial court. The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was contacted and assisted in the investigation.

On Thursday, at approximately 4 a.m., many tenants at an Amherst Drive apartment building were awakened by their apartment’s intercoms being ‘buzzed’ by a couple in the lobby who claimed they were police officers and needed to be let into the building. The couple gained entry and proceeded to two separate apartments and forced their way in after allegedly identifying themselves as police officers with a search warrant and advising occupants they were under arrest. As a result of a joint investigation by Kingston City Police and Napanee OPP, the couple was arrested later that day in Kingston. A 34-year-old man of no fixed address and a 36year-old woman from Kingston are facing charges of impersonating a peace officer and breaking and entering with intent. The man was held on bail, while the woman was released on a promise to appear.

Stone Mills Township

Beaver Lake powerboat races get green light BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

The buzz of powerboats will be back on the waters of Beaver Lake for one weekend this July. Stone Mills council voted to support the return of the powerboat races, which will take place on July 18 and 19 this summer. The motion to allow race organizers to use Beaver Lake Park and its boat launch passed by a 42 count on a recorded vote. Following the vote, council approved a second motion giving the chief administrative officer the authority to approve the race each year for the remainder of this council’s term Many of those councillors supporting the return of the races cited the positive economic impacts brought to the area by the event, which has taken place each year in late July off the shore of Beaver Lake Park in Erinsville for nearly a decade. The event has also been supported by many of the local business community.

The noise from the event, however, has also prompted some living on Beaver Lake to ask council to withdraw its support of the races. Councillor Doug Davison, who ultimately voted against the motion, acknowledged that race organizers had done more to improve the event and to mitigate negative impacts on local property owners in the past year. “I know that there were a number of attempts made last year to improve it, (and that) only makes it better,” he said. However, he said that noise concerns hadn’t been settled. In fact, he said he attended the races this past summer, and listened from a property on Neville’s Point Road north of where the races took place; he said the boats’ motors were “quite noisy” from where he was listening. “I just want to re-iterate, the noise issue hasn’t gone away with some people.” “This event has shown promised growth and economic development in the Township of Stone Mills

community. It is wellorganized and follows the application as provided,” said councillor Deb Thompson in making the motion to support the races. She likened the event to other community events like fairs and mud drag races. Her sentiments were shared by fellow councillor Martha Embury, who pointed to a Ministry of Culture and Tourism Study which suggested that the event last year brought more than $170,000 of business into the township. “They expect a bigger (economic) impact in the future once there are more stakeholders and partners,” she said. “When I campaigned last October for municipal council, one of my platforms was to encourage economic development, and I feel that by discouraging these races, it would be counterproductive. So, it looks overwhelmingly that the races are a benefit to the municipality.” Before council voted, race organizer Doug Overbury said that they had compressed the amount of time the racers would be on

the water in an attempt to limit the amount of noise on the lake during the event. He said the boats would be on the water from about 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Davison and Reeve

Clarence Kennedy voted against the motion, while Embury, Thompson, Deputy-Reeve Eric Smith and Councillor Wenda Lalande voted in favour. Council voted along the

same lines when the motion to grant the authority to approve the races for the upcoming term of council to the CAO was put to a vote. Councillor John Wise was absent.

Irish singing, dancing come to museum Early St. Patrick’s Day event aimed at kids celebrates Irish culture and history

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

St. Patrick’s Day will come a bit early to the Lennox and Addington County Museum this Saturday as they host an Irish Song and Dance starting at 10 a.m. The presentation, which will be put on by the Kingston Branch of the Harp of Tara, is part of the ongoing Museum Kids programming at the museum. “We’re going to be giving a demonstration in instruments, solo and set dancing,” explains Jessica McGrath of the McGrath School of Irish Dance. “We’re going to be having traditional cuisine like Irish soda bread, we’ll teach the kids how to make butter and enjoy some of that.” McGrath says though it’ll be educational, they intend to have a bit of fun while exploring the history of the Emerald Isle and its

Founded in 1951, the Harp of Tara is a worldwide organization that celebrates the Irish tradition though weekly language, music and dance lessons. The Kingston branch recently celebrated 35 years in the community. Every month they meet at a pub for a céilí, which is a traditional Irish social dance and gathering of musicians. Students of the Harp of Tara will often travel around the region and demonstrate their skills at multicultural events and festivals. Though this event has no real direct ties to St. Patrick’s Day, the month of March is a time when Irish culture is in the spotlight.

EDITORIAL

Fears and freedoms According to a CBC poll published yesterday, half of Canadians feel less safe than they did two years ago. That’s probably not surprising, given that we’ve had two terrorist attacks on Canadian soil in the past year (notwithstanding the ongoing debate over just what constitutes a ‘terrorist’ attack). Couple that with daily news out of the middle east describing the latest atrocity committed by the Islamic State of Syria and Al-Sham — the same group that if not organized then inspired attacks like the ones in Canada — people’s fear is stoked that much more. And, we can’t blame our politicians for responding to those fears, particularly in the form of legislation intended to keep citizens safer. We don’t need a poll to know that a good number of Canadians are anxious, either. Yesterday, for instance, we learned that four high schools from Saskatchewan withdrew their students from an upcoming cheerleading competition at the West Edmonton Mall after another radical Islamic group based out of Somalia, Al-Shabaab, called for attacks on North American shopping malls, and the West Edmonton Mall in particular. So, the fear is there, and it’s understandable to a certain degree. However, we also think it’s helpful to inject some realism into the situation. First is a point we’ve raised before, and that is, simply, terrorists ‘terrorize’. They do terrible things in order to make people afraid. When people act out of fear, there’s a good chance they’ll make bad decisions. Some more realism: the chances of you, or someone you know, being the victim of a terrorist attack are infinitesimally small. There are many more things in this big, bad world that could ‘get you’ before a terrorist does. And a bit more realism: while we can hope that new laws passed by our federal government will make us safer from terrorist attacks, the fact is that terrorist attacks may, and probably will, occur nevertheless. So, while it’s probably a good idea to do something in an effort to combat this kind of violence, we should keep our expectations in check. Further — and this is another question we’ve asked in this space — how much privacy or freedom are we willing to give up in order to achieve more safety (and a modest amount of added safety at that)? Many critics of the government’s proposed C-51 — a measure that, for starters, gives some added powers to Canada’s spy agency and allows authorities to detain suspects without charge for a longer amount of time — say that the government hasn’t struck the right balance between freedom and security with its proposed new law (among other criticisms). It’s certainly a healthy debate to have, if we truly value our free and democratic society. If we’re to believe the rhetoric of some, it’s our free and democratic society that these extremists hate. And if that’s the case, we shouldn’t be in a rush to hand those freedoms over in a misplaced attempt to thwart future terrorist attacks. It’s something to keep in mind as the debate over C51 unfolds in the next few weeks and months.

Letter to the Editor

Ontario’s ‘nanny state’ strikes again Re: Napanee Beaver editorial ‘Sex-ed necessities’, Feb. 26. Absolutely some form of sexed is necessary and important. Should the government (Nanny State in Ontario) be the one to do this? No! The nanny state has already taken away so many of the responsibilities of parents already and this is one more. And a big one. What makes the nanny state know what is best for our kids; to decide where, when, how and why these discussions should be

made to our children? As a parent and a grandparent I am appalled that a person/ persons who have never even met my children or grandchildren are allowed to make such important decisions. Maybe the next step in this ridiculous senario is for us to have children then hand them over to our decision makers for ‘best practices in growing up.’ God forbid! For all our sakes, especially our children we should all rally

and stop this government intrusion into our personal lives and, as caring parents, put an end to this. The Wynne government indicates it will go ahead anyway. Please remember, not all Ontarians voted for her anyway. She will be gone and we will be left with the results of her mistakes — and pay for them. Let’s stop this madness now.

Greater Napanee’s great tax divide On March 10, a very important meeting will take place in the council chambers at Greater Napanee town hall concerning a motion that will be made regarding the current rural and urban properties taxation method. I encourage people to go to the meeting and be heard because if you do not attend you will ultimately have lost your right to complain. I spent the last few weeks speaking to folks from both sides — listening to their concerns, arguments and suggestions. I had thought to provide you with a clear cut case of what I think should happen; however, I changed my mind. I chose to take a non-partisan point of view as there are far too many scenarios to sort through. Whether we have a taxation system review now or

at a later date is not what matters most. What matters is that we have a review. It cannot be done in-house — there are too many possible conflicts of interest. We need a tax review completed by professional tax experts who have absolutely no interest in Greater Napanee except that they would have to complete a nonbiased report. There is no quick fix and a report would likely take the better part of one year. There is not sufficient time to make fair changes before the 2015 taxation plan is announced. Another aspect to taxation is the budget. I gather that a good portion of the budget has been reviewed already; however, I question whether the expenses are being looked at from a ‘need’ or an ‘I would like’ point of view. Programs cannot be

Cheers & Jeers added without cutting others. Expenses such as management salaries, the number of managers, the number of cars/trucks being used and for what reason, contracts, benefits, advertis-

ing, marketing, consultant costs, travel etc, need individual reviews. I also wonder what is being done to collect the money from those who are in arrears in their taxes. Budgeting cannot be done efficiently unless you start with a blank sheet every year. Few real discussions have taken place during council meetings, as often, staff recommendations are simply accepted. Strangely enough, the people of Greater Napanee are not invited to participate, to provide ideas or suggestions that could eventually be valid on impacting the budget. I wonder why? I acknowledge that changes are currently taking place to provide councillors with budget information at least one week prior to council meetings and that this information will also be

available online for all to review. What I found out is that all of those with whom I spoke are willing to pay their fair share of taxes, but want very clear rules as to how their tax amounts were assessed. From my point of view, when we have a system that nobody truly likes then I think we have achieved the fairest one — providing it is affordable. The MPAC situation is not liked by many. Most people do not like the evaluation of their homes. Perhaps the Ombudsman of Ontario should look at the methods being used in order to improve the system. Many believe that MPAC people make property evaluations from their desks rather than on site. Remember, MPAC provided the skewed election lists.

There is no quick fix and, council will have to make a tough decision based on the best interests of all the citizens of Greater Napanee. In the end, our community cannot become divided over the tax system. We all have a share of taxes to pay and it must be applied fairly for everyone — without exception. It will be necessary for everyone to give and take a little. What is needed is an absolutely fair system that will allow the town to operate with an affordable budget for all of its residents. No cheers or jeers this week. No sides. Just expectations of absolute fairness — nothing else will do. Pierre Cliche plcliche@sympatico.ca

Letter to the Editor

Mayor weighs in on Greater Napanee tax policy Recently, there has been a lot of interest in taxation policy in our community. Healthy discussion of important issues is what keeps democracy strong and should be encouraged. What is becoming uncharacteristic of this community is the negative approach taken lately by a few people Greater Napanee has some of the most dedicated and committed staff you will find in any community across the province. At any time, on any day, council can be sure if a problem is encountered, staff will drop everything to find a ‘made in Greater Napanee solution’. This is why I am troubled that any resident

would suggest that staff would knowingly act underhandedly or illegally. Greater Napanee residents from the Adolphustown ferry to Roblin have time after time come together to support the development, promotion and advancement of Greater Napanee. We have not always agreed on every issue, but we have all supported each other when we needed to be a community. In 1997, before we even began as a single community, Goodyear and Gibbard Furniture came together on a joint presentation to help rename the community. In 2000, we came together to re-develop the riverfront as

a millennium project. In 2004, we came together to construct the Strathcona Paper Centre. In 20062008, we re-developed our hospital. In 2010, representatives from across the community developed the Core Area Advisory Committee. We came together to support Roblin during a gas leak, and we have come together to develop a new $1 billion generating station. We have completed many joint projects. We are the envy of many eastern Ontario communities, and we will continue to have many exciting announcements and projects in the coming months. Greater Napanee has

not been a divided municipality, but there are those who would like to do just that. Town staff have provided, over the past four years, a great deal of history on the development of our tax policy. Staff worked for a year, at the direction of the last council, to develop an independent review process to analyze our taxation policy, including a detailed legal review. Every candidate who ran in the last election was provided this history as part of the candidate orientation. It was posted on our website for anyone to read during the last election. Posting information on our website hardly makes it a secret.

The Minister’s Order that amalgamated Greater Napanee allowed for policing to be billed at different rates. Despite changes in the Municipal Act, enacted portions of the Minister’s Order were allowed to continue. In 1999, tax policy was determined to be based on a differential in policing costs. One change has been made since 1999, and that was to raise the rural rate by two per cent in relation to the urban rate. However, this additional tax levy was to pay for rural projects. South Shore Road reconstruction alone cost Greater Napanee $6 million. When our portion of $2 million is financed, it will

be done in part with these additional funds. Council cancelled the Service Delivery Review in December 2014. Council has passed no other motions but has asked for a staff report on the history of this matter to come back to council at the end of March. I trust that the community will continue to work together, despite our differences, to come up with a solution that will keep our community moving forward. I believe your council was also elected for that same purpose. Gord Schermerhorn, Mayor of Greater Napanee

Letter to the Editor

Property taxes should be fair — a counterpoint Using a similar title, I would like to correct some information contained in two letters to the editor that appeared in the Beaver last week in relation to municipal taxes. The motion presented by Councillor Shaune Lucas is a fishing expedition that targets the differential applicable to rural taxpayers which has been in place since 2000. While he has not explained his reasons for such a review, it is difficult to see what has changed in this two-tier tax system which has satisfied most ‘Napaneeans’ since its inception? Why the need for a review now? First, let’s be clear; rural taxpayers agree that municipal taxes should be fair for everyone. However, tax calculations should include an adjustment for municipal services provided or not. I think that the present two-tier system does that very well and, consequently, is fair and equitable. Rural taxes, even with the differential, are already considered high. They are considered higher when the municipal services not pro-

vided and the 15-to-20-kilometer distance to access facilities such as for recreation, parks, arena, splash pad, etc., is factored in. Street lights and sidewalks do not exist in the rural areas. That is a huge drawback. Street lights are few and far apart; most are more than one kilometre apart. Rural roads at night are very dark and become dangerous. They are basically unusable for pedestrians who want to go for a walk to visit a neighbour for fear of accident or other mishap on the way. Even during the day, there is no protection for pedestrians as cars drive by at high speed and very close to the gravel and often muddy walking area on the side of the road. Property insurance is higher in the rural areas because of the distance to the closest fire hydrant and the longer response time for emergency vehicles to get to the scene be it for a fire, health emergency, accident, etc. That has been my case since I built my house in 2000 and I am sure that it is the same for all my neighbours. While urban residents

pay monthly for their usage of water and sewage systems, the rural resident is totally on his own, on an ongoing basis, for the significant capital outlay to dig a well and build a septic system to code, have them inspected and accepted, maintain them generally at high cost, and ensure that the water is safe at all times. Urban residents do not have any of these worries or significant outlay of money. On the policing front, we, in Napanee, certainly enjoy all benefits of a good police service and this is much appreciated. However, it makes sense that the quantity and density of the rural population require much less policing activities than in an urban center. To not recognize this difference is just not true or logical. As mentioned by one of the writers, the overwhelming police work in Napanee has to do with Highway 401; well, doesn’t that make the case for police activity being directly related to quantity and density of population, and/or cars. It is false to say that the MPAC evaluation of the

rural properties takes into account the services provided or not. Having visited the MPAC website long and wide, I could not find anywhere any mention of municipal services as a criteria in establishing the value of the property. The MPAC assessment is based mostly on Market Value of the property at sale time. It is difficult to fathom that a municipality with a multi-million dollar budget has a tax system that is illegal as has been alluded by one of the writers. A quick review of The Ontario Municipal Act indicates that it is not uncommon for a municipality to have dif-

ferent municipal tax rates. It stand to reason that, to keep it fair, if the differential is removed, then the same services of lighting, sidewalk, gas lines, first responder stations for emergencies, fire hydrants, recreation such as parks, etc, will have to be constructed/installed in the three rural wards of Napanee as they are in the town. That is an extremely expansive proposition which will raise everyone’s taxes instead of lowering them as it is expected by some. Finally, if a tax review has to be done, then it should be done by an outside, impartial, independent, com-

petent and professional company at a cost, usually fairly high, to the taxpayers. Do we need it? The present two-tier taxation system is probably the cheapest way of maintaining the revenues and keeping the cost down for the municipality while providing the services that people have come to accept as sufficient for their own location. It has served the municipality well and been accepted by most since its inception. In my view, it is a fair system and we do not need to spend more money reviewing it.

Rotary Club Pitches In L

O O K I N G

A C K

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago March 10, 1965 n After a number of local municipal councils met with local school boards, it appeared as though amalgamation of school boards was as far away as ever. A total of nine municipal councils and the school boards operating within them held a ‘mass meeting’ to discuss merging the Ernestown high school district with the Napanee high school district. However, the proposal went down to defeat. One of the delegates to the meeting, Dr. A.E. Fyffe, said the principal reason why the amalgamation failed to find support was because of “ambiguous” figures being presented by the Ontario Department of Education. n The Napanee School Board said that it would be taking a serious look at renting as many as four rooms at the Napanee Armouries to use as classrooms. In fact, some members of Napanee Town Council were openly discussing purchasing the Armouries from the federal government, which was in the process of winding down its military use of the landmark building on Centre Street.

35 Years Ago March 5, 1980 n Officials of the L&A Roman Catholic Separate School Board were hopeful their request for funds for the construction of a permanent building structure at J.J. O’Neill school in Napanee would be approved by the Ontario Ministry of Education. The board submitted a $1 million project proposal to the ministry the previous fall to replace their current temporary facility with a new permanent structure. “We believe our request is reasonable,” said Charles Jeffries, the separate board’s director of business. “We are confident it will be accepted.” n A release from Statistics Canada showed that L&A and its surrounding district had the second highest unemployment rate in the province. While the provincial unemployment rate average sat at 8.5 per cent, the district’s unemployment rate was 9.5 per cent. The local district also included Prince Edward County, Hastings County, Peterborough County, Victoria County, Northumberland County and Haliburton County. Ontario was divided into 10 regions for the purposes of the study. Western Ontario had the highest unemployment rate.

Hockey’s roots found on the pond Ear muffs, or a toque, or aviator hats with the ear lugs flopping; woolen mittens to keep the frosty air from freezing the hands; woolen socks rolled up over heavy trousers; a favourite NHL sweater, finally uncovered as the body warmed because of the action — that was the standard uniform for shinny, or, as it was more often called, pond hockey! The first step in preparation for pick-up hockey depended on the depth of snow to be removed. Anything more than four inches required shoveling with feet firm planted. If the wind had been in the right direction, or the snowfall light, then skates, ice cold from the long walk to the lake or creek, were donned, and a much speedier operation on blades, pushing a scraper back and forth on the future rink did the trick. The depth of that white stuff, and how firmly it adhered to the icy surface, often dictated the size of the area, and the amount of time it took to be cleaned. Occasionally, some good-sized stones would serve as goal posts, but more than likely two lucky lads would volunteer their rubber boots. The object to be propelled down the ice

Glen R. Goodhand

Snapshots From The Past in the general direction of the goal, was not necessarily a regulation Art Ross puck. Sometimes it was a tin can; other times it was a knot of wood. Occasionally a ‘horse apple’ did the trick. During the Great Depression, skaters were known to use a bent branch from a tree for a stick, or a broken broom handle, suitably adapted with a ‘blade’ of some sort. There were no set rules, although it was usually considered poor sportsmanship to raise the puck, since few, if any, equipped themselves with any padding.

Fledgling goalkeepers sometimes had the foresight to stuff magazines under their socks to act as shin pads, in case some would be Gordie Howe or ‘Rocket’ Richard became over-enthused and lifted the ‘puck’ off the playing surface. Basically it was every man for himself. Passing was almost nonexistent — teamwork was mostly by accident — as the projectile happened to bounce loose and end up on the stick of some guy charging in the same destination. Many an NHLer from the ‘Original 6’ era credited those days of getting the puck and keeping it as long as they could as their secret to stickhandling. One frustrating aspect of the game was a puck getting lost in the snow surrounding the playing area. With no boards to trap it, the old boot heel could slide under, over, or bury itself in the middle of the snow bank manufactured by the clearing process — or fly into the hundred’s of square feet of no-man’sland surrounding the rink. Invariably, if it was only slightly imbedded, the hurried retrieval brought with it the equivalent of a shovel full of snow. That, coupled with the

normal effect of skate blades tearing up the surface created the second flyin-the-ointment. The boots serving as goal posts often got tipped over, and snow easily entered with every shot at the backstop! The final downer also involved those boots, and others scattered around the perimeter. During the good old days, when winters were really winters, that footwear would freeze as solid as the ice itself. Getting frigid feet back in from whence they came could be equivalent to donning two sizes too small. And, because of that pond hockey died out? Right? Wrong! It was too much fun for that to become a nemesis. Whatever could be listed in the debit column — cold feet, frostbitten fingers, and cracked shins — was far outweighed by the sheer delight of the open-air version of Canada’s true national sport! It is virtually unknown in 2015 because heated dressing rooms, pre-cleaned ice surfaces (which means no manual labour is required), and transportation right to recreation facility’s door, attractively fits right in with the general affluence of modern society.

Fiddler Scott Woods returns to Napanee

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

A smorgasbord of Canadian fiddling styles will be on display in Napanee on April 19 when renowned musician Scott Woods rolls into town for a concert at Trinity United Church. His show, which is a fundraiser for Lennox and Addington’s Seniors Outreach Services, is part of his aptly named ‘Fiddling in the key of Eh’ tour. It’s a brand new show that incorporates fiddling styles from all corners of the Great White North. “When you look at

Canadian fiddling from coast to coast to coast in Canada, there are many regional styles,” said Woods, who hails from Ferguson, Ont. “There’s the celtic-style fiddling in the east coast, in Cape Breton you have the Acadian fiddlers, in Prince Edward Island you have a lot of the traditional Scottish tunes. The Newfoundland fiddlers are playing perhaps more of the Irish jigs for instance and they put their own spin on it. The tunes all cross over and you come further west you play more of the French Canadian style.” Mix them all together with a full band, step

dancers and some family friendly humour and that’s the show in a nutshell. And while this will be a unique show for anyone who has seen Woods’ concerts in the past, he says the staple that earned him the nickname ‘Flippin’ Fiddler’ is still in there. “We do some summersaults and I’ll be walking on a barrel (while playing the fiddle) and some of those tricks,” said Woods, who has a earned a reputation for adding a flare to his fiddle playing. “It’s one of those gimmick things that I carried over (into the new show). About 10 years ago I decided everyone’s seen it, I don’t need to do this any more so I took it out of the show. The first show on that tour, I think it

Nominations Committee welcome applications with skills and interest in Fundraising, Legal, Human Resources, Health Sector, Non-Profit, Quality and Risk, and Marketing expertise while having a passion for seniors and our community.

thing for me to do.” Having first performed the trick in the middle of Grand Masters Fiddle Championship, he’s kept it as his signature move. While he admits to crashing into stage equipment or band members, he’s proud of the fact he’s never broken a fiddle during his roll. He’s perfected his tuck and roll so much, he’s often asked if he has any martial arts or gymnastic training. “It’s nothing to do with that,” he says with a laugh. “I’m just trying to protect the fiddle from getting damaged.” The April 19 show in Napanee gets underway at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults, $10 for kids aged six to 12 and free for children under the age of five. They’re available now at L&A Seniors Outreach Services and Napanee’s Gray’s IDA. Money raised from the event will help SOS with their moving costs, as they move from their 310 Bridge St. W location into the Westdale Park Public School building. “We don’t get all of our money from the South East LHIN,” said SOS fundraising chair Marg Baldwin. “So we have to fill the void to help us continue to offer our great services to the community.” From helping seniors stay in their homes longer to Meals on Wheels to their 55 Plus Activity Centre, the SOS is dedicated to keeping local seniors healthy and engaged.

Benefit mens hockey tourney returns to Napanee BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Some hockey players simply refuse to let the amount of candles on their birthday cake tell them when they have to hang up their

skates. For those dedicated skaters there are events like the Terry Wright Memorial Hockey Tournament, which returns to Napanee’s Strathcona Paper Centre March 31 to April 4. Hosting teams

from across Ontario, Quebec and even the U.S., the fundraising tournament will consist of 36 teams spread across ages 35 and over, 50 and over, 60 and over, 70 and over and women’s divisions. Now in its 17th year,

the proceeds will be split between Lennox and Addington Hospice and Kingston’s Foundation for Autism. During the tournament week the organizers will also unveil a plaque for late local hockey icon Andy

McGarvey. His name will join the 44 other old-timer hockey players who are remembered during the tournament. “Andy’s been a big part of our tournament with the support he gave us,” said John O’Conner, who helped found the tournament. “He was just part of the large group at the arena that really helped us and I got to know him well over the several years and with his contribution we felt he should be put on the list with the rest of the guys.” McGarvey, who passed away last March, was a familiar face in Napanee’s sports community. From coaching several levels of hockey to operating a sporting goods store, he played a major impact on the lives of several young athletes. Each year the tournament organizers add a few more names to the list of players they are honouring.

“We have plaques made up for all the guys that have passed away over the years,” said O’Conner. “Teams have wanted to recognize them and maybe honour them a little by ordering a plaque and write up on the player.” Along with registration fees the tournament also raises money through 50/50 draws and prize raffles. This year’s biggest prize is a two-person flyover of Kingston. Several other donated prizes will be up for grabs. Though the help of generous businesses and volunteers, the tournament has raised $204,000 over the years. O’Conner says space is nearly full for the tournament but they may be able to accommodate a team or two that signs up a few weeks before the start date.

Deb Kimmett to host online creativity clinics BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Local comedian and established writer Deborah Kimmett is hosting a couple of online writing workshops to help inspire others to write creatively and more effectively. Both of Kimmett’s coaching sessions this spring are limited to a few participants each and are done entirely online. She said this allows for her to help people one-on-one and ensure each person’s success. The first program is offered this Sunday morning and is open to eight participants. Because the program is offered online, she said the workshops could include people from across the world, allowing people to bounce fresh ideas off one another with entirely different writing styles and techniques. “When you hear other people share their work, you often think, ‘Oh, wow, that’s an idea. I didn’t think about that,’” said Kimmett. She said she has had great success in online programs and that many of her coaching sessions are now done online. “Online works better, I get people from across the world. What’s really cool about the online stuff is that it’s so user friendly. Even people in their 70s were totally able to use the program.” Kimmett said the best part about online sessions is that each participant is able to keep digital files from the session. “All the lessons are taped and there are podcasts that come with it, so you get the workshop but you also get to keep all the stuff and work on it,” she said, stating some people choose to go back and review the material after the coaching session is over.

KIMMETT FROM PAGE 1 Kimmett said Sunday’s coaching session is designed for people who already have material written and need some inspiration to either improve it or keep writing. “People that would probably be interested in this would be people that have part of a story done but they can’t seem to get it

to the next level,” she said. “What I really found this year is that the more people who brought and read their stuff, the better everybody got really quickly.” Sunday’s session is a two-hour workshop aimed to help eight people get back on track with one-onone coaching from Kimmett. Next month Kimmett will host a five-week ‘boot camp’, which is open to

about 10 people across the world. “What I’ve found for some people is with creative writing it’s a fun hobby or they’re not sure they want to do a five-week commitment with family and such, so this (Sunday) is a taste-test, in a way, to see if they would get value from another longer process,” explained Kimmett.

“This is more for people that have an idea or they’ve written some short stories and they just don’t know why they can’t get it to the next level. Having written so much, I have a lot of that experience I hope to bring to them, and help them,” Kimmett added.

Curling Hawks held winless at EOSSAA Beaver Sports

DSS girls curling team’s trip to EOSSAA didn’t yield any wins but provided plenty of learning experience for the young club. The Golden Hawks lost all three of their matches, finishing tied for seventh in the eight team field. They were skipped by Briena Tofflemire with Natalie Scilley as vice, Logan Wayte as second and

Emma Collard as third. The girls curling team, who captured the KASSAA crown last week, was the last of the school’s club still active in the winter season. Spring clubs, which include baseball, soccer, rugby, tennis and track and field, will begin their try out process over the coming weeks. Depending on weather, KASSAA league games could get underway towards the end of April or early May.

tingy defense and just enough offense has the Port Hope Panthers with a solid 2-0 series lead over the Napanee Raiders in the Empire B League Junior C finals. Port Hope weathered a late Raiders’ surge to secure a 3-1 victory in Tuesday's Game 2 in Napanee to take the commanding lead. “We were tentative and really sitting back and giving them way too much space,” said Raiders head coach Mike Hartwick. “In the third we were aggressive and for some stages in the second, especially early on. But you just can’t sit back and give them all kinds of ice and time to make plays.” Cameron McGill got the Panthers on the board in the first, blasting his team’s 17th shot of the period into the back of the net. Dan Lagrois doubled the lead with a shot from the side of the net through traffic that found a way to trickle over the line. After spinning their wheel for the first two periods, getting outshot 36-19, Napanee showed signs of

S Benn named to Canada’s Seven Series squad Headed for Atlanta, GA March 15-16 Beaver Sports

apanee’s Britt Benn will join Team Canada’s rugby squad as they travel to Atlanta, GA for the third round of the Women’s Seven Series. For Benn, 25, this will mark her series debut. Through the first two rounds Canada is sitting third in the standings with 32 points. They trail New Zealand (40) and Australia (36). The top four nations at the end of the series will automatically qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics. “Benn is a very physical player that has really improved her core skills and is developing really well on attack and defense,” Canada Women’s

7 coach John Tait said on the Rugby Ontario website. Though she’s yet to play in this season’s series, Benn is no stranger to playing at the international level. She was a member of the Canadian club that earned a second place finish at the 2014 Women’s World Cup. Benn has travelled the world representing both Ontario and Canada in both 15s and 7s. A strong showing at this event would not only help Canada’s chances at qualifying for the Olympics, but would also help her case when the time comes to select that roster. The Atlanta Sevens will run March 14-15. Canada will take on Brazil, China and England on the opening day. The results of those games will determine

life in the third. His team trailing 2-0, Zach KnappHermer finally solved Panther goalie Devan Tremblay with a nifty walk in power-play goal midway through the third. After getting Tremblay to commit to his left, Knapp-Hermer turned on a dime and tucked the puck behind the sprawled out keeper. As pretty as the goal was, it stands as Napanee's only goal through the opening six periods of the series. Napanee continued to apply pressure for the final 10 minutes of the game, outshooting Port Hope 13-7 in the frame. With Tomo Mikuljan pulled for a sixth attacker the Raiders had some frustrating ample chances but couldn't bury the tying goal. Port Hope's Dalton Lawrence finally nailed the coffin shut with an empty net goal in the final seconds of the game. “I was happy to see the urgency in the third, specially in the last 10 to 12 minutes,” said Hartwick. “We just need to do that for 60 minutes. Hopefully we can build on that third period. It’s still a long way to go. You still have to win four games so there’s still a lot of series left to play.” Napanee opened the

series Sunday on the road with a deflating 1-0 loss. Tyler Davey scored the only goal in the opening seconds of the middle period and the Panther defense made it stand, holding the Raiders to just 18 shots the entire game. Mikuljan turned in another stellar performance at the other end of the ice, stopping 35 Panther shots in the undeserving loss. He’s started all seven of Napanee’s playoff games, registering a 1.67 GAA and 954 save percentage.

“It’s still a long way to go. You still have to win four games so there’s still a lot of series left to play.” Mike Hartwick, Raiders head coach If there’s any positives to take out of the first two games it’s how well Napanee played on the road. They’ll need to become road warriors if they’re to have any chance in this

series. Game 3 will go Saturday in Port Hope before returning to Napanee on Sunday. Both games start at 7:30 p.m. “We’re just going to have to drive pucks to the net and try and keep it simple and get some decent shots through traffic,” Hartwick said of waking up the offense. He pointed to too many shots from the side of the net and not as many quality shots from the front as reasons for the lack of goals. If Napanee can extend the series past Sunday Game 5 would go March 11 in Port Hope. Game 6 returns to Napanee on March 14 and a winnertake-all Game 7 would go March 15 in Port Hope. All games feature 7:30 p.m. puck drops. Napanee earned their berth in the finals following a 4-1 win over Campbellford last Wednesday on home ice. Brandon Nadeau, Zack Revelle, Troy Wylie and Josh Murphy all scored for the home team. Meanwhile the Panthers also needed five games, downing the Pirates four games to one to punch their ticket to the finals. They were the top ranked team in the regular season.

Minor Hockey Report

Bantam Stars even up their semifinal series Beaver Sports

he Firelight Major Bantams played a complete game Sunday in Cobourg, winning 51 and evening their semifinal Lakeshore playoffs at a game each in the process. After giving up a power play marker late in the first, Brendan Hagerman

took a pass from Nelson Powers, and slid it past the goalie from the edge of the crease. In the second period, that the Stars dominated, the winning goal was a fine three-way passing play, with Powers feeding Hagerman, who sent Alex Brady in alone to deke the net-minder. Hagerman got

his second of the night on a solid individual effort. The goals kept coming as Adam Doyle cut to the net, and put one off the blocker into the top corner. Kiel Benton, and Ethan Winter gained assists. Winter rounded out the scoring in the third on a rebound of Doyle’s initial shot. The boys were edged 43 by Cobourg to open the series on Friday. Powers had a pair of goals and an assist while Hagerman netted a single. The boys had the edge in territorial play, out shooting their opponents 32-20, but may have taken their guests a bit lightly after earlier success over Cobourg. Game 3 is Friday at 8 p.m. at the Strathcona Paper Centre. n The Country Traditions Novice Stars were swept by a dominant Port Perry squad in OMHA East semifinals, with a 9-1 road loss on Saturday. The team now moves on to the Lakeshore semifinals facing Kingston, with Game 1 in Napanee on Saturday. Puck drop is 6:30 p.m. n The Gray’s IDA Minor Atom A Stars advanced to the semifinals of the Lakeshore Playoffs to play a round robin against Quinte West and Whitby Blue. On Sunday, the Stars faced a strong Whitby

squad. The back and forth affair saw quick play thought the first two periods of the game with both sides having multiple chances to net a goal. Carter McKee helped create a number of offensive chances for the Stars. However, he was kept off the score sheet. Sam Richard kept the Stars in the game with stellar goaltending, despite the Stars taking a penalty late in the second. Unfortunately Whitby was able to get on the board shortly after the penalty expired in the third giving them a 1-0 lead. The Stars continued to have chances in the third with Whitby taking a number of penalties including a two-man advantage for Napanee at the sevenminute mark in the third. Despite a late charge by the Stars, their goaltender was able to continue his equally strong play preventing the necessary goal to tie the game, for a 1-0 final for Whitby. n The Major Atoms fell 4-1 to a talented Whitby Blue team on Sunday at the Strathcona Paper Centre to begin their round robin semifinal Lakeshore series. After falling behind 3-0, Reid Lambert scored their lone tally, with an assist to Logan Lalande. Ryan

Napanee Crunch The Atom Crunch finished off Clarington last week, shutting them out 2-0 in Game 2 to advance to the league finals. Coming out strong early in the game Lila Pringle, assisted by Hailey Thompson and Maeve Kennedy, took a hard shot that deflected and flew into the net putting the Crunch up 1-0. The second period was a back and forth affair with Makenna Marlow standing tall in net. The third period was much of the same until Nikki Weese , assisted by Jaidyn Manion and Myla Pearson took another hard shot that bounced off the Clarington netminder into the net giving the girls an insurance

goal. The Napanee girls will now face Ennismore for final round league playoffs, but first will play Brockville this upcoming weekend for Provincial Qualifiers. n Napanee’s Veryea Sutton peewee girls also advanced to their league finals this week, defeating Cold Creek 3-0 in Sunday's Game 3 at the SPC to claim the series. Early in the first Leah Carscallen found the back of the net off a rebound shot from Lauren Sutton. It was a good fight, back and forth play between the two teams, and the Crunch headed into third with only the one goal lead. Not giving up, the Crunch girls caused a scramble out in front of the Comet’s net, and one of their defencemen covered the puck allowing Napanee to have a penalty shot. Captain Hannah Phillips hit the top left hand corner of the net with her shot, giving the Crunch their two goal lead. Cold Creek's coach made a bold move and pulled their goaltender with three minutes left in the game to try to catch up. With two minutes left on the clock, Sutton took a pass from Laura Hagerman, shot up the ice and it glided into the empty net, giving that insurance goal for the CanWealth Veryea Sutton Peewee Girls. Game 2 of the series was Friday with the Crunch securing a 2-0 victory. The Crunch started off strong and dominated with two goals in the first. One by Sutton from Carscallen, and the second one by Chloe Brunner from Alyssa McMullen. Maddy Burgess was amazing between the pipes, and Emma Granger played a strong defensive game holding the Comets to win the game with a shutout. The series began on Feb. 23 with both teams skating to a 1-1 draw. The Comets started off strong with a goal in the first period. The Crunch’s long break from games had them suffering until Sutton made a beautiful goal with the assist from Rachel Johnston in the second period. The series win takes the Crunch to the Lower Lakes tournament later this month. It was an amazing efforts by all the girls on the team, and many thanks to the bench. The girls will have regular practices, and some exhibition games that will also prepare them for the Provincial Tournament in April.

Aldridge has a solid game in net. The Stars had a home-and-home with Quinte West Tuesday in Trenton, and Wednesday in Napanee. n The McCaw Mortgage Team MD7’s were defeated 6-3 by Ajax Red on Sunday in a regular season encounter. They were under some pressure in the first, but Tie Wood put them on the board in the second period, as Napanee was able to generate more offensive chances. Dylan Kemp also scored with an assist to Miles Jones-Phippen. Carter Slaven had the other tally to complete the scoring for the Stars. n In a cross-county exhibition tilt, the Loyalist Bantam Jets came from behind to beat the Napanee Minor Bantam Stars 4-3 at the W.J. Henderson Rec Centre on Sunday. The Stars had a 3-2 lead heading into the dressing room after the second intermission. Steady pressure by the Jets in the third, however, gave Loyalist the win. Dylan Bruce scored twice and collected one assist for Loyalist, while Fraser Allen and Jordan Leslie also scored. Anthony Trojani had a couple of assists, while Devyn Day picked up a helper. Josh Cudd led the way for the Stars with a hat trick. Adam Burger set up each of Cudd’s goals, while Kolten Monpetit earned an assist on the second goal. Devon Eldridge picked up the win between the pipes for Loyalist, while Murray Craig and AP callup Heath Murphy shared duties in net in the loss.

God’s Lent Children I’ll lend you for a little while These children of mine” God said, “For you to love them while they live, And mourn for when they are dead,” It may be one or two years Or forty two or three; But will you till I call them back Take care of them for me? They’ll bring their charms to gladden you And (Should their stay be brief) You’ll have their lovely memories As solace for your grief. I cannot promise they will stay Since all from earth return; But the lessons taught below I want these children to learn, I’ve looked the whole world over In search for teachers true And from the things that crowd Life’s lane, I have chosen you And will you give them all your love? Nor think about the labour vain? Nor hate Me when I come to take These lent children back again?” I fancied that I heard them say, “Dear Lord, Thy will be done For the joys Thy children will bring, The risk of grief we’ll run, We will shelter them with tenderness, We’ll love them while we may And for the happiness we’ve known, Forever grateful stay, But should Thy angels call for them, Much sooner than we’ve planned, We’ll brave the grief that comes And try to understand.” Lovingly remembered by Mom and Dad

McCRACKEN - In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather, W. Keith, who went to be with his Lord and Saviour March 8, 2014. There is an open gate at the end of the road, Where the Good Shepherd waits to claim His own, Now beyond the gate You have found happiness and rest, There is comfort in the knowledge That our loving God knows best, The day God called you Home, Part of us went with you, Although we cannot see you, We know you are there. Always in our thoughts, Forever in our hearts. You are loved and missed. With love, your family.

Stars push to move back to BB Beaver Sports

Results from last month’s Napanee District Minor Hockey vote were released this week, indicating considerable support for the idea to move back to being a BB centre. Currently playing in the A category, the organization took a poll among players and parents to gage their interest in staying put or requesting a move back to BB. Of those polled, 199 voted to move back to BB while 69 voted to stay put. Despite the overwhelming majority, the move in by no means a done deal. The NDMHA will now apply to the Ontario Minor Hockey Association and request to be recategorized to BB. Should the OMHA deny the

application, the NDMHA would have no choice in the matter. In an e-mail to its members the NDMHA has indicated they will apply for BB status and will now wait until summer to find out the results of their appeal.

The Stars were long a BB before they were moved by the OMHA to the A level two seasons ago. The various age groups have posted mixed results, some excelling and some struggling, since the reclassification.

The agenda for the closing general meeting set for March 29 at 1 p.m. has been emailed or available at the club so please consider donating your time to fill in the positions of our outgoing directors. There is a lot of important business to take care of so mark your calendar and attend to assist the board with the day to day duties of the club. Last on our list of bonspiels is the popular closing Martin & Walters on March 28 so watch for the sign up sheet at the club. NDCC’s Board has decided to not have a banquet this year as enthusiasm has dwindled over the last few years but to host a Murder Mystery Dinner instead. This should be a lot of fun and a way for curlers to get together one last time before next fall season. The date has been set for May 9 with further information and tickets available through your fundraising directors Shelley Alkenbrack and Debbie Currier in the near future.

Programs are offered to the public free of charge and will take place at the Amherstview branch each day at 10:30 a.m. and at the Napanee branch daily at 2 p.m. On Monday, the libraries will enjoy ‘Art Attack’, allowing kids to get messy with paints.

BYLAW FROM PAGE 1 Township resident Brittany Lockwood, who brought her concerns about dogs being perpetually tethered outside to council in December, said she was “saddened, surprised and frustrated” that council chose not to entertain further discussion on the proposed bylaw. “A lot of the council members don’t seem to have a clear understanding about the OSPCA’s limitations, which is why this bylaw was so important. The OSPCA has even sent a letter in support of this bylaw change but that was ignored by council,” she told the Beaver. “It’s unfortunate that our council doesn’t care enough to look into this matter further and that they are letting assumptions and lack of education on the matter rule their decisions,” she continued. Lockwood said that the draft bylaw was supported by many township residents based on feedback garnered from a petition relating to the issue. She also says she plans on lobbying the federal government to address concerns over animal care. Embury, Davison, Thompson and Reeve Clarence Kennedy voted in favour of filing the bylaw, while Lalande and Deputy-Reeve Eric Smith voted against. Councillor John Wise was absent.

Fiddle standout Kelli Trottier to headline Enterprise jamboree on Sunday Special to the Beaver

The Grand Old Enterprise Jamboree this Sunday at the Enterprise Hall will feature the talents of top-notch fiddler Kelli Trottier. The event takes place at 1 p.m. at the Enterprise Community Hall. Trottier brings her crisp fiddling, angelic voice and fiery stepdance to all of her performances. Her talents have carried her to stages across North America, Europe, the Middle East and the Far North, making fans and friends at every venue along the way. Her art was developed from deep and lasting Scottish and French roots, and together with other influences of

contemporary and traditional music, Trottier shaped her performing and recording career. She has earned a dedicated and growing following and glowing accolades from promoters, organizers and fans. In addition to her extensive performing experience, Trottier continues to be a highly sought-after instructor and judge of fiddle and stepdance events across Canada and parts of the U.S. She has been nominated three times for Fiddle Player of the Year by the Canadian Country Music Association and has performed live and in studio with George Fox, The Family Brown, Randall Prescott, Wayne Rostad, Lucille Starr and more.

FIND THE BEST BANK FOR YOU

ome people may not give much thought to where they do their banking, but much like no two account holders are the same, no two banks are the same, either. That reality only highlights the importance men and women must place on finding a bank that best suits their particular needs. In banking, what’s good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander. Individuals hoping to find the best bank for their needs can consider a host of factors before deciding just where it is they will be depositing their money in the years to come.

• Accessibility: Accessibility is many individuals’ biggest priority when it comes to finding a bank. Large banks tend to have more local branches and ATMs, and such banks tend to be in more regions of the country as well. Men and women who travel for business or even young people who go to school away from home may want to find a bank with a more national presence, as that can make it easier to deposit and withdraw

money. If you don’t travel much and only seem to withdraw money within your community, then a smaller, local bank, which should be able to offer the same direct deposit services as its larger competitors, may be what you’re looking for.

• Capability: Some people prefer to have all of their financial needs catered to by the same bank. This means a bank that can manage your investments, provide a line of credit and secure home, vehicle or education loans. Larger banks tend to offer the widest array of services, and such banks also may have more advanced technology that makes it easier to manage all of your accounts. Smaller banks may be just as versatile with regard to their

capabilities, so don’t judge a book by its cover. • Balances: Banks typically require account holders maintain a minimum balance on both their checking and savings accounts. If you think it may be difficult for you to maintain a higher balance, find a bank that offers accounts with a low minimum balance so you don’t end up paying penalties just to spend your own money.

• Fees: Even accounts that are advertised as “free” tend to come with fees that are listed in the fine print. For example, a “free” checking account may only be free if account holders maintain a minimum balance of $1,000 or more. Should that balance dip below the predetermined mini-

mum, account holders are then subject to costly fees. Overdraft fees, in which account holders are charged a substantial fee if they do not have enough money in their accounts to cover their purchases, are another potentially costly problem for men and women who are not accustomed to monitoring their balances closely. Before opening an account, learn if there are any fees associated with it, and what’s the best way to avoid paying those fees, such as using only ATMs affiliated with your bank or purchasing overdraft protection that covers you in the case of an overdraft.

With nine independent recordings; singing, dancing and playing her way to the top of her musical genre, Trottier is an unforgettable artist, delivering performances that raise her stature in the hearts and memories of audiences everywhere. Organizers urge local music fans to beat the winter snow and cold and come out and enjoy an afternoon of entertainment from this well-known artist as well as several other musicians. Trottier is also scheduled to be one of the entertainers at the Grand Old Enterprise Country Jamboree which is being held Aug. 7-9 in Centreville so be sure to keep that in mind when making your summer plans.
