HOMES NEEDED

News - Brighton – Jessie Laverty celebrated her 100th birthday January 7 and there to share in her joy of reaching a milestone few reach was her older sister – that’s right, her older sister – Agnes Copland, who turned 101 last month.

The pair live in the same suite at Applefest Lodge, where they have resided for more than a year.

The Beech sisters grew up in Quebec before going their separate ways to marry and raise families. But they’re remained close friends throughout their lives and even lived in the same city, Peterborough, for many years before Jessie moved in with one of her daughters, Chyrel Lapenna, of Wooler, when her eyesight began to fail at age 93.

She lived there for ďŹ ve years until she broke a hip and was hospitalized for three months. “They ďŹ gured she couldn’t navigate on her own in my house,â€? Lapenna said, so the decision was made to relocate to Applefest Lodge, a retirement residence.

Agnes, who had been living on her own in Peterborough up until the age of 100, chose to join her sister at the lodge in order to be there to help her. “When I knew my sister was going to be here I just gave up my own apartment and said I’m coming here, and that was that,� Agnes said. “The two sisters wanted to spend the Everything in moderation has helped sisters Agnes Copland, on the left, and Jessie Laverty achieve longevity; Jessie Laverty turned 100 this week, Agnes celebrated rest of their life together,� said Agnes’ her 101st birthday in December.

Statistically speaking: ‘Anti-mayor’ voting block overstated

News - Brighton – As municipal council heads into the final lap of their term before election day on October 27, it turns out the much ballyhooed “anti-Mayor Mark Walas voting block” – namely Deputy Mayor Mike Vandertoorn along with Councillors Craig Kerr, Tom Rittwage and Emily Rowley – has been somewhat overstated.

The “block” has been the topic of a host of letters to the editor, citizen comment and various Internet media. The sentiment remains largely unchallenged, but a tally of the recorded votes over the first three years of the current term of council reveals a different story.

Council votes are usually routine: decided by a simple

show of hands to approve, or disapprove, an issue. When council members want to have their position documented, it is subject to a recorded vote, the only true barometer in determining how successful the “block” has been.

To the end of 2013, there were 149 recorded votes – 25 in 2011, 26 in 2012, 98 in 2013 – and throughout, the “block” has been successful on 35 occasions or less than a quarter (23.5 per cent) of the time. Unanimous votes carried the day on 41 issues or 27.5 per cent. As well, there were 20 (13.4 per cent) five-to-two votes registered.

Through all the recorded votes, Mayor Walas was on the majority side 59 per cent of the time.

firmly believes that “everybody wants to improve the community and work for (its) betterment.”

What has made them “so deeply divided on so many different things” relates in part to the priority each member places on capital and operational expenditures.

It also goes back to 2011 when a move was made by him and his allies “to take the municipality in a different direction than it was going with the current CAO that was not successful and that has been one of the major issues that has really divided the council and created this us-and-them thing,” he said.

“Personally I have no issue with any members of the staff,” Walas said. “I don’t necessarily always agree with the way certain things are done but at the end of the day I respect the people.”

Vandertoorn said 2013 “certainly was a challenging

year,” but echoed Walas in his levee remarks in pointing out “there were a lot of accomplishments,” and there is “a lot of exciting things on the table for 2014 as well.”

They include a service delivery review, being done by staff, which Walas opposed, arguing an independent party should have been given the job.

“We need a fresh set of eyes,” he said.

Walas said his first term in office has been “a steep learning curve” that included having to deal with “a lot of what I believe to be misinformation.”

Still, he plans to run again for mayor because “I love it, I’ve enjoyed it, it’s been great (albeit) an eye-opener.”

Whatever the voters decide next fall, “My hope is that ... they end up with a council that is responsive to the requests coming from the ratepayers,” he said.

Mayor celebrates successes of past year in Brighton

By John Campbell

News - Brighton – Following another year filled with turmoil inside council chambers, Mayor Mark Walas chose to celebrate the many successes that took place over the past 12 months in his speech at the municipality’s New Year levee.

They included the generous donation by the Gingrich family to the new splash pad that “by all accounts has been a great success”; the new park

at the corner of Ontario and Main streets dedicated “to one of Brighton’s outstanding citizens, Rose Ellery”; the $25,000 contribution to the construction of a pergola, floral garden and walkway at King Edward Park by the Rotary Club of Brighton, which will celebrate its 25th anniversary this year, and the extensive reconstruction of the Jobs Trail system by the Friends of Presqu’ile.

The municipality, for its part,

built an addition to the fire hall in Codrington, upgraded Centre Street, completed a roads needs study, and carried out “long overdue” improvements to the waste water treatment facilities.

Walas said the servicing of land in Brighton’s industrial park is “slightly behind schedule” but expressed hope an official opening would be held in the spring.

The mayor noted that Royal

Canadian Legion Branch 100 “has made several attempts to complete phase two of the cenotaph project.

“My hope is that council sees the tremendous skills this group brings, under the direction of retired Brigadier-General Ian Douglas and allow them the opportunity to complete this very important project,” he said.

“Another great success story for Brighton” was the municipality and Brighton Health Services Centre reaching an agreement, “or partnership,” on a long-term service agreement with the YMCA and its members last summer.

Walas said the efforts of a new committee coupled with the addition of the car show was responsible for Brighton Mayor Mark Walas addresses a crowd of about 30 who showed up Applefest recording its largest atten- for the municipal New Year’s Day levee, held at the community centre.

“We are all looking forward to the 40th anniversary of Applefest (in the fall),” he said.

“This spring will see the completion of the track at ENSS,” Walas said, after many months of delay. “The (school) board has assured me that the finishing touches will take place in the spring once the weather allows and what a great way will this be to kick off not only the 60th anniversary of ENSS but also, through Northumberland County, we will be hosting the Parasport Games this spring, with the completion of the track.”

Walas closed out his remarks by urging Brighton residents, “If you’re not, get involved. If you are, stay involved. Have fun, look out for each other. I’m looking forward to 2014 being a great year. I am certainly well aware of my obligations to you and your expectations of me, and I will do everything I can to (see) the municipality reaches the potential that is there.”

Councillor Tom Rittwage made a point of telling reporters afterward that he was “pleased to hear the mayor acknowledge all the wonderful projects that are being done that he voted against last year.”

Walas disagreed with Rittwage’s assertion.

“He can play it that way but it’s not necessarily true,” he said. “I did support them in principle.”

However, the projects were contained in the 2013 budget, which he didn’t support, because money allocated to rebuild Addison Street had been taken out “at the 11th hour,” after council had made “a promise” to its residents a year earlier that the work would be done, he said.

The Addison rebuild, estimated at roughly $300,000, is again included in this year’s draft budget but there’s no guarantee that it will survive the cuts council still has to make to whittle the projected increase in the local tax rate.

The increase was pared down from more than 17 per cent initially to around 10 per cent after one budget meeting.

“The easy stuff has been done,” Walas said. “Now we’ve got to go from ten to one (per cent increase).

Good luck.”

Need for homes growing Centuries-old tradition

comes alive in Brighton

By John Campbell

News - Brighton – The need is growing to find homes for cats living on their own outdoors.

“We have a lot more now than we ever have had,” said Suzanne Hart, president and cofounder of the Cat Care Spay/Neuter Initiative she runs out of her home near Havelock. “We have about 60.”

She’s taking care of 14 at her house right now, “which is way more than I like having,” because the number of foster homes she could call upon has dropped by two in the past month, leaving six to provide temporary shelter.

To increase the odds of a permanent home being found, Hart has cut in half the adoption fees for the month of January; the new charge is $75 for a kitten, $50 for an adult cat, and it covers the cost of their being spayed, neutered, given shots, dewormed and rid of fleas.

Two cats recently found new homes through the Pet of the Week column carried in The Independent; one’s new home is in Havelock and the other, a black two-year-old female named Ebony, is now part of the Steve and Janet Cooper household in Brighton.

“She’s fitting in well,” with the three other older cats the Coopers have, Steve said.

The retired couple saw her photo in the December 19 issue of the newspaper and “we liked the look of her,” he said.

They like black cats – they had one until it died two years ago of cancer – but “a lot of people shy away from (them) because they don’t know how nice they really are.”

Cooper said the secret to integrating a cat into a household where there are already animals is to recognize “it’s totally strange to

them and it’s a little scary” so they will hide.

“You leave them alone and let them discover the place and eventually they’ll come around and become comfortable, and that’s what happened to her (Ebony).”

People, he said, “relate more to dogs than cats generally ... (because) when you look at a cat you can’t see the emotion in the eyes that you can with a dog.

“You own a dog. A cat owns you.”

To learn more about the Cat Care Spay and Neuter Initiative and the cats available, call Hart at 705-5591899 or visit www.catcarespayneuter.com.

A fundraiser for the program is scheduled for February 27 at the Havelock Lions Hall. Tickets are $15 each for the comedy show, “Raise the Woof,” which begins at 8 p.m.

as we can,” said Derek.

In a recent USA Today story, writer Maria Puente asked, “Most everybody knows what Christmas caroling is, but who does it anymore?”

“Except for pockets of passion, traditional, in-person neighborhood carolling is practiced by a shrinking fraction of the population,” she wrote. “Polls conducted for the National Christmas Tree Association found that by 1996, only 22 per cent of those surveyed said they planned to go carolling, and by 2005, that number had dropped to an anemic 6 per cent.

“Yet, caroling is ancient.

Christmas carol was probably written in the fourth century.

“It’s not too late to revive Christmas caroling, says Michael Hawn, professor of church music at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

“It will take imagination and a willingness to break the ice,’ he said. “Singing is an act that naturally enhances a sense of community, whether it’s ‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game,’ the national anthem or Christmas carols.”

In Brighton, all it took in the Henderson Lane-Daniels Drive neighbourhood was the imagination of a six-year-old boy.

Brighton – At least one local neighbourhood was alive with song during the holiday season as a new tradition returned for a second year.

The old-fashioned seasonal event was organized last year by the Geens family of Henderson Lane after son Carter, then six years old, asked if they could go carolling.

“The idea came out of the blue,” says proud dad Derek. “We’re not even sure where the idea came from; he just wanted to start a new tradition.” In fact, after the inaugural run, Derek calls it his “most positive Christmas experience.”

About 40 family, friends and classmates lent their voices to the cause.

“A couple of people and their kids quickly equal 40,” said Derek with a chuckle. “In fact, some of the older people were in tears.”

Now it’s turned into an annual event as it didn’t take much convincing to sign up most of the people involved last year. And, this year, as the worst of the recent ice storm swept through southern Ontario, the tradition went on with 53 people showing up to travel door to door and sing their hearts out.

As well as the carols, the festive group also collected two kid’s wagons full of food and $100 for the Fare Share Food Bank as well as $130 for the Red Cross Philippines relief fund.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

It’s only a game says the councillor Dear Editor, Two things were painfully evident at the Brighton Council Meeting of December 16. One, the “needs assessment style� budget estimating method (as required by council) is not working and secondly, responsibility for this year’s pie-in-the-sky initial budget number (17.37%) rests squarely with council.

Semantics aside, this is what I call a “free-reign� budget esti-

mate with few or no rules that I am aware of. The following can be assumed. Budget managers are permitted to put in any numbers they see ďŹ t (the needs).

Human nature being what it is, the result is not surprisingly a very large list of both wants and needs that is amazingly released to the public as a “First Draft.�

No one is quite sure what the percent level increase will be, as no limits have been agreed upon

by council nor has it been vetted. I would have to guess that the hours expended in reducing budget estimate numbers is directly proportional to the rate of budget ination.

This is a costly, needless and time-wasting exercise. Please put some limits on this process.

The logic of some members of council is, well, we always do it this way. As a businessman, the mayor knows how to keep costs in check. Unfortunately he has never had the opportunity – a voting block within council (I’ll call them the Go4) con-

trols the agenda. Mayor Walas knows that if there is to be any hope of controlling costs, spending must be constrained by putting limits on municipal budget estimates.

The Go4 asserts that the municipality is not a business and they are correct, but neither is it a corporation which fulďŹ ls every manager’s ďŹ scal wants and needs. As a taxpayer-funded entity, it does not have inďŹ nitely deep pockets. The Go4, sees the mayor as the problem when, in truth, they have done little to check the free-rein style budget estimating and resulting increases in budget numbers.

They think that their needs assessment system is just ďŹ ne. I used to do this many years ago when I wrote a letter to Santa Claus.

Reductions in the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF) subsidy level has been known for some time, as has the increase in the OPP contract. Provision should have been made for accommodating any shortfall. Council members who could have made provision for these shortfalls by reducing discretionary spending now use

them as an excuse to elevate the tax rate and stick ratepayers with the costs. They blame anyone but themselves.

To reduce budget numbers, radical surgery on the budget is needed. If not, the utilization of reserves or borrowing are the only options left. Taxpayers of the municipality should not be held hostage by council’s inated budget in order to bail them out from their self-imposed ďŹ scal mess – particularly where discretionary spending is concerned.

If recent events are any indication, any council member who speaks up against the rising cost is publicly agellated and verbally barbecued. The mayor was savagely attacked for having the audacity to provide a short commentary on the initial draft budget to a local radio station. Whatever happened to, “Freedom of Speech?â€? I’ve read a transcript of the remarks and apart from some implied blame they do not appear to be pointed at any one individual.

Councillor Martinello’s righteous attempt to highlight the source of a 10 plus per cent increase items on the, “Budget

Pressures� chart was not given the credence it deserved and was deected into an argument about council/staff relations.

Council needs to focus on what it needs to do rather than, “grandstanding.� on unrelated issues.

I overheard one councillor state and I am paraphrasing, “He knows the game.

He has seen other budgets. He knows how the game is played.â€? To the senior citizen who does not know the “gameâ€? and is looking at a several hundred dollar tax increase, this is certainly not a game. To the newcomer to Brighton, this is certainly not a game. To the business community who can appreciate the beneďŹ ts of low taxes, this is most deďŹ nitely not a game. To the average taxpayer who sees municipal budgets on a high speed elevator to the roof, this is most assuredly not a game. The electorate cannot and I repeat cannot sustain these double-digit annual increases in budget levels.

I attended the open forum meeting of the December 17 and put my two cents into the mix. One councillor asserted that it (the budget) was my problem and perhaps that will turn out to be true. I am aware that the Go4 is a democratic majority but please give us all relief from tax uncertainly by acting responsibly. A majority does not mean you can do as you like – there will be a time of reckoning. Only a game, indeed!

Roger McMurray, Brighton

Expecting a real presentation at council Dear Editor, Having read Joe Burrell’s “Brighton City Council-“Bah Humbug� letter in last week’s edition of the Brighton Independent, I could not agree more with his assessment of the so-called “Public Forum� relating to the 2014 budget.

would have already been pared down to something more reasonable.

On second thought, maybe this is what our dysfunctional council wanted.

Then when the tax increase is pared down to more than what the public would deem reasonable, they would appear to have been doing their jobs.

I, unlike Mr. Burell, did walk away in disgust, but not without leaving behind my lengthy â&#x20AC;&#x153;commentâ&#x20AC;? sheet on exactly what I thought of the so-called meeting.

At the upcoming January 22 meeting, I would expect that council would heed the feedback from the December 17th meeting and have a presentation ready with a follow-up input session for us, the taxpayers whom they are supposed to be representing.

Supervolcanoes: Another thing to worry about

Editorial - The good thing about volcanoes is that you know where they are.

If you don’t want to get hurt, just stay away from them. The bad thing about supervolcanoes is that you may know where they are, but there’s no getting away from them. They only blow up very rarely, but when they do, the whole world is affected. They can cover an entire continent with ash, and lower temperatures sharply worldwide for years.

Gwynne Dyer “This is something that, as a species, we will eventually have to deal with. It will happen in future,” said Dr. Wim Malfait of ETH Zurich (the Swiss Federal institute of Technology) , lead author of a recent paper in “Nature Geoscience” that says supervolcano eruptions don’t even need an earthquake as a trigger. “You could compare it to an asteroid impact,” he says. “The risk at any given time is small, but when it happens the consequences will be catastrophic.”

I know you already have enough to worry about, what with climate change and asteroid strikes and the like, but I’m afraid there’s more.

Volcanoes and supervolcanoes both involve magma (molten rock deep underground) that breaks through to the surface, but in practice they are quite different. Volcanoes gradually build themselves into mountains by repeated, relatively modest eruptions of lava. Supervolcanoes are a single massive explosion of magma rising to the surface over a huge area, and blasting at least a thousand cubic km. of ash into the atmosphere.

How massive? The largest recent volcanic eruption was Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, which blew about ten cubic km. of ash and gas into the upper atmosphere in 1991. The result was a 0.4 degree C drop in average global temperature for a year or so. But the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano 640,000 years ago was a hundred times as big.

It covered the entire North American continent with ash –

and just like an asteroid strike, it threw massive amounts of dust and ash into the stratosphere, where it stayed for years, blocking out much of the sunlight. (It doesn’t rain in the stratosphere, so the debris stays there for a long time.) As a result the average global temperature fell by as much as 10 degrees C for a number of years.

It was temporary, but while it lasted there was a steep fall in the amount of plant material growing on the planet, and a corresponding collapse in animal populations as well. Not mass extinctions, so far as we can tell, and fairly soon the plant and animal species repopulated their former habitats, but it certainly spoiled the party for the equivalent of several human generations.

How many people would die if such a catastrophe happened now? It is unlikely that even half of the world’s seven billion people would survive two or three years of severe hunger, and civilization itself would take a terrible beating.

Nor is there anything useful you can do to prepare for such a catastrophe, unless you are able to stockpile two or three years’ worth of food for the entire world.

At the moment, our global food reserve will feed the population for only three or four months, so that is not likely to happen. If it does not, then we just have to hope that the calamity doesn’t happen – knowing that we probably will not have much warning if it does.

What Dr. Malfait’s team discovered is that the detonation of a supervolcano is entirely dependent on the temperature of the liquid rock in the underground chamber. As it gets hotter, it gets less dense than the solid rock around it. At this point, it will behave just like an air-filled balloon or football that is held underwater, trying to pop up to the surface.

Eventually, the magma forces its way to the surface over an area of hundreds of square kilometres, expands and explodes.

On average, such an explosion only happens once every hundred thousand years, but in practice it could happen at any time, with as little as a few weeks warning. Just thought you’d like to know. Sleep well.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

I’m glad the holidays are over Dear Editor, Finally the holiday season is over and we can get on with our lives. I’m tired of charity television commercials giving me a guilt complex, our hockey teams getting their butts kicked in world tournaments, and political end of the year interviews.

I’m tired of Mike Holmes making me feel small because two young boys in Africa don’t have parents to take care of them, of athletes begging me for $20 to pay for a brick to build a school in Kenya, or the goat with the voice of a Shakespearian actor wanting me to donate $75 to buy other goats.

I think the majority of us have charities that we support at this time of year and we don’t need organizations like the Christian Children’s Fund giving us a guilt complex by beaming pictures of sad looking African children into our living rooms. All the money those charities are paying for prime time advertising would probably pay for the good works that they are begging us to do.

I’m tired of watching our hockey players getting their butts waxed because, as Don Cherry says, we are sending politically correct teams to these tournaments and not necessarily our

best players. Surely our Olympic experience over the years has taught us that we have to send our very best if we want to win. If we can’t send our very best then why even go?

Most of all, I’m tired of the year-end interviews with politicians trying to convince me that they want to make things better for Canada and the world and how they have something to contribute and pay back their fellow Canadians. I watched the Sunday morning political programs this morning before writing this column. Like most of the party leaders, Harper didn’t have the moral fortitude to face the nation and sat there and mouthed a lot of promises to the electorate. What they didn’t say is what they really meant; just give me the power I’m entitled to and want.

So I’m really glad the holiday season has come and gone. I just hope that someday soon we get back to celebrating what, in my view, is the real reason for the season . . . to take care of our own, to do what’s right for all, and to beat the stuffing out of international hockey teams.

Bob Laroque, Brighton

Resolutions are for other people

By Terry Bush Editorial - Did I make any New Year’s resolutions this year? Well they never seem to work out anyway so what’s the point of going out on a limb and making a bunch, one or any at all. Most of us still have resolutions kicking around from 15 years ago we haven’t gotten around to fulfilling, let alone thinking about new ones. I’d have to live to 105 like Stirling’s bon vivant Alice Heasman just to finish up my current resolution list let alone my bucket list.

So with the pressure off myself, I’m more than willing to help out others by telling them what they should do in 2014.

Kathleen Wynne and the Ontario Liberals ... where does one start? Stop being ridiculous! When people show up in BMWs to collect free grocery cards available after the ice storm, there’s a problem with the administration of your program. And to make matters worse, you made yourself look like an ass going door-to-door handing out cards.

Kathleen, we all know what the term “photo op” means and yours was pretty blatant. Maybe you should just stick to running. I hear you enjoy that.

Better yet, get yourself and members of your party some hamster wheels, and generate some free green energy for us to make up for your nutty, pay producers way more than the market rate, green energy programs. This might also deflect some of the obvious ill will your party generated cancelling natural gas plants to get elected.

Tim Hudak and the Ontario Conservative Party ... are you taking lessons from the federal Liberals by running figureheads who don’t appeal to the public? Why on earth do you still have the same leader that lost the last election with another one looming in the spring.

I hear Michael Ignatieff is looking for work. Well, I didn’t really hear that or anything else regarding the former Liberal candidate but if Jean Charest can go from federal Tory to provincial Liberal, why can’t Mike go from federal Liberal to provincial Conservative? Then again, he didn’t do too well either last time out, did he?

Andrea Horwath and the NDP ... we still remember. Might be an idea to give it a rest until the older generation rides off into the sunset. We may be getting a little forgetful in our old age but not that forgetful.

Stephen Harper, if your goal was to reach Brian Mulroney’s status, you’ve succeeded. Time to call it a day after a good run and pass the leadership reins to someone else for the next election. Someone else does not mean John Baird.

We’ve all seen way too many photos of the man, red-faced and screaming.

Time for a kinder, gentler Conservative leader who’s, well, Conservative. Is there any chance good old Bob Stanfield can be cloned in time for the next election?

Justin Trudeau ... why did you go and cut all your hair off? Your hair and the pledge to legalize weed were pretty much the whole Liberal platform to date and now that only one plank remains, it must be quite the balancing act. Better stay away from the barber for awhile to regain those Samson locks that appeal to women voters because as much as many people would vote to end of the war on soft drugs, many of those same people won’t get around to voting on election day. Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow, man.

Thomas Mulcair, you’re an entertaining guy in the House of Commons and more than a match for Stephen Harper but you ain’t Ed. In fact, even Ed ain’t Ed no more so maybe concentrate on uniting the left. Chances are you won’t do quite as well in La Belle Province this time round so don’t get your hopes up about forming the next government. Maybe you can be the power behind the throne of the united New Liberal Party of Canada if that ever happens.

To Barack Obama and the US. You were given a Nobel Peace Prize not a Nobel Blow Everything to Pieces Prize. Enough with the wedding party drone attacks. You can’t win the hearts and minds of a country when the hearts and minds are spread all over the ground.

Take the billions of dollars you give away to Egypt and Israel to play nice and play nice with your own citizens. People are losing their homes; people are working two jobs to get by and your citizens are more than fed up with the wars your federal government keeps getting involved in on behalf of countries with powerful lobby groups.

Give your country some affordable universal health care with the money you’ll save and don’t spend it on military bases around the world. Nobody likes a bully. If you do all this and still have a few bucks to spare, help feed some other countries. A full stomach is a great way to win hearts and minds.

And to the Toronto Maple Leafs … what can you say that hasn’t already been said. Get some seat warmers in those platinums so it looks like someone actually wants to watch a Leafs game. And then get yourself a team that will make the playoffs.

Seniors Today

Reflexology:

Age Old Healing Therapy, Regaining Popularity

The 21st century is an age where there will be more seniors than youth under 15 and where more people are living to more than 100 years of age. Simultaneously, there is tremendous stress on the health care system. Individuals may experience longer wait times or limited access to their doctor. As a result, people are turning to alternative therapies in greater numbers. One natural therapy experiencing rapid growth is Reflexology.

The origins of Reflexology trace back to ancient China.

Egyptian hieroglyphics dating from 2500 BCE also depict the use of Reflexology. Reflexology has evolved over the centuries and is based on the principal: the body is reflected on the bottom of the feet. By stimulating pressure points and reflexes on the feet with light to firm pressure, positive changes take place within the corresponding body parts, organs, and glands.

There are more than 7,200 nerve endings in the feet, acting as sensory receptors to the brain and influencing all systems of the body.

By stimulating nerves and specific reflex areas on the feet, blood flow can be increased and toxin buildup eliminated. Reflexology works to put the body in a state of wellbeing.

Reflexology has four main benefits – relaxation, increased circulation, reduction of stress, and homeostasis – the repair and rest state of the body. These four benefits can provide relief for inflammation, muscle and joint pain, insomnia, stress and anxiety, circulatory or digestive issues, and more. Further, it helps reduce body tension and brings a sense of relaxation and rejuvenation.

Studies have shown Reflexology helps reduce pain, anxiety, and nausea in cancer patients.

Additional independent studies have demonstrated how reflexology

can reduce the need of cortisone, a common treatment for arthritis.

A single Reflexology treatment can help the body produce its own natural painkillers – endorphins – which inhibit pain transmitters in the spinal cord.

Reflexology is suitable for all ages, including seniors. Treatments can help improve circulation, cognitive functions, balance, gait, and much more. Reflexologists do not claim to extend the life of their clients but to improve the quality of it.

Optimal health can only be attained with a pro-active, preventative approach. Consider Reflexology as part of a natural health program.

We were even given cell phones with which to call our personal butler/concierge at any time.

This ‘Royal Service’ treatment is available to any adult guest, of course (at an additional cost), but if you really want to relax and be pampered, then this is the answer. Both resorts also offer a similar treatment for families, in a separate area, and

includes the assistance of a Family Concierge, a Paradisus Kids Beach Kit, a Kids Zone (with supervised children’s activities), special children’s in-suite amenities (including robes, slippers, and a kit containing such items as a mini toothbrush, insect repellant, sunblock, and shower gel), and a nightly turn-down service that includes milk and cookies.

Both resorts also offer “Life Enrichment Experiences” as part of their all-inclusive package, including such activities as yoga, pilates, massage lessons, wine, tequila, and sushi tastings, tango and salsa classes, and belly and pole dancing lessons (apparently this latter one is the most popular). I partook in a tequila tasting enrichment, which I did with Carlos, who told me that “tequila is often wasted on the young who are merely trying to get drunk by quickly consuming shot after shot.” He confided that good tequila should actually be consumed straight and slowly to “experience and savour the smooth, full flavour.”

Both resorts also offer one a la carte restaurant that costs extra, and we tried these, too to simply check them out for you, of course. Expect to spend two to three hours here, luxuriating, with the serving of several exquisite courses, each embellished by an enticing mixture of intriguing flavours, some contrasting and some complement-

ing, that will awaken all your taste buds, and each course accompanied by delectable wine pairings. I discovered that these marathon specialty tastings were definitely an important part of the pampering at Paradisus!

If even further pampering is necessary, both resorts have a YHI SPA, where you’re instructed to “invigorate your senses”. In my quest to ‘sample it all’, I, too, tried the 50 minute Relaxation Body Massage just so that I could report that it was, indeed, relaxing and worthwhile!

The Paradisus Cancun is arguably the most spectacular looking of these resorts, for it consists of five easily recognizable pyramids and it’s located a mere 15 minutes from the airport, so it’s close to the action.

Its 668 suites include 136 Royal Service Deluxe Suites and 183 Family Concierge Junior Suites and the resort also has a tennis court, a 9-hole par 3 golf course, four pools, and a wide selection of bars and restaurants (including several a la carte choices, with varying dress codes).

A short walk took me from this resort to the new Cancun Maya Museum, which is well worth a visit. It contains many archaeological artifacts from Mayan excavations, so I learned a lot about this ancient civilization while there. I also checked out

Lifestyles - One of the perks of my ‘job’ is that, from time to time, I get to participate in a ‘press trip’ with a group of fellow travel writers, and my latest such excursion took me and four other Canadian travel writers to Cancun and the Mayan Riviera, where we were guests at the Paradisus Cancun and Paradisus Playa del Carmen.

Both 5-star properties proved to be exceptional and we were treated ‘royally’ (literally), for we resided in the adults-only section of the resorts, with their all-inclusive luxury and Paradisus signature ‘Royal Service’. This meant that we had the assistance of a personal butler/concierge during our stay that would, if we wished, help with such chores as unpacking/

Lifestyles - There is nothing new under the sun when it comes to growing things.

From the discovery of fertilisers (probably when nomads noticed that the grass grew greener where the herds slept last year), to the use of pesticides (would you believe 4500 years ago the Sumerians were using sulphur) and up to the evolution in mechanical harvesting, everything has been variations on a theme.

One underlying theme has been “back to the garden.” It doesn’t matter if we call ✩ ✩✩ ✩ the ✩Garden ✩ of Empowit Eden, Jannah, ering Liberation, Sacred Ways Grove (more than one faith group uses this term) or plain old “Back To The Land”, there seems to be something within us that has an elemental pull as old as the land itself.

Sometimes grass roots trends will be captured by the global community and be translocated worldwide; fair trade being one good example. Sometimes, the practice will stay localized.

It is true that not all of us are fortunate enough to have a garden but it is equally true that all of us are nourished by food grown in a “garden.” This is where our personal grass roots movement could start, with the food we eat. We have the amazing good fortune to live in an active, diverse agriculturally rich part of the entire planet. Everything that we need can be purchased from local producers either in the supermarkets, at farmers’ markets or at the farm gate. Can each of us afford to do that? I don’t think so but certainly we can start. If you can drive to the grocery store or take public transit, then you can make it to the farmers’ market. You can talk the actual grower of the food and learn exactly what went into the tomato that you are holding in your hand. Compare the taste of a Waupoos tomato to one shipped in from California. Now, think of the difference of giving the farmer a dollar as opposed to spending it in a supermarket. All of the costs and taxes that accrued to the tomato during harvesting, processing, packaging, shipping and handling and marketing in a conventional retail outlet are added up in the latter.

That dollar gets splits up with a goodly chunk going to the government of day; doesn’t matter if it is a GST, a VAT, or HST, the government will get its “share.”

The farmer’s dollar is required to split off some for the same government but the major portion is in the farmer’s hands.

That dollar stays in the community and is spent in the community; we feed ourselves, support our farmers, and keep the money in our community...

I stated earlier that we can get everything we need right here in our community. I didn’t say we can get everything we want. We want lettuce in January and strawberries in February but we don’t need them. For those of us old enough to remember, many homes had root cellars and cold storage rooms. We stored root crops such as potatoes, carrots, parsnips and turnips. We waxed and hung cabbages. We also made preserves from fresh produce when it was in season. We could have strawberry jam in February.

It is easy to go the market in August and buy locally grown corn on the cob.

It is easy to buy strawberries in June, tomatoes in August, and squash in October.

Here’s a grass roots idea I am suggesting we can adopt according to our resources.

Let’s get to preserving and storing food as much as we can. Think of a nice winter meal such as mashed potatoes, turnips or squash, a coleslaw with carrots and cabbage, a meat or fish of your choice (purchased locally, cut , wrapped and frozen in your freezer) with a bit of fruit cobbler for dessert. We can make the 100 mile diet, the reduced carbon footprint, and the back-to-the-land movement trend a year round affair.

Beware of the vacuum

Reality Check:

Sheila Wray Gregoire

By Sheila Wray Gregoire

Lifestyles - December 20 was a pivotal day in my life, though I didn’t know it at the time. I drank my last Diet Pepsi. I’ve been trying to give up the wonderful drink, off and on, for about five years now. Only after I had finished that last can did I finally decide that I had had enough, thanks to some prodding from my pesky oldest daughter who mentioned things like “it can cause cancer” and “you’re killing yourself.”

When a Christmas guest left a Diet Coke in the fridge, she poured it down the sink. I am officially cut off.

Old age dementia runs in my family, and I figure aspartame can’t be that nice a thing for your brain. So, after ten years of it being a daily habit, I’m done.

Many of us are quitting things this time

of year. 2014 is upon us, and we want to start right. We’re going to cut out sugar.

We’re going to cut out wheat. We’re going to cut out aspartame, preservatives, and anything resembling flavour. We’re going to beat our bodies into submission.

Yet one thing I’ve found with my decision to forsake Diet Pepsi is that vacuums aren’t pretty. When you quit something you rely on, whether it’s a drink or a cigarette or a daily Facebook fix, you’re disrupting your normal habits. That forms a vacuum. Whenever there is a vacuum, things rush in to fill it, usually bad things.

That’s why it’s so hard to finally quit, because that vacuum reminds you, every second of every day, wouldn’t that nice cold fizz taste good right about now?

If you’re going to give something up, then, you must replace it with something and it’s best to have that plan before you give that thing up. Too often we think, “I’ll just develop self-control and I’ll be fine.”

If self-control were that easy, we wouldn’t have rehab or Cheetos in giant bags or websites dedicated to the People of WalMart. Taking pride in oneself and treating oneself well isn’t just about self-control; it’s about developing new habits. And it’s not easy.

That’s what I’m really struggling with right now. My cousin, who has never ingested anything bad into her body in her life, suggested that I replace my Diet Pepsi with lemon and Perrier. I wonder if she

the San Miguelito archaeological site, located next to this museum, and walked among its ruins and I was joined on this tour by some local iguanas.

Another worthwhile attraction is right across the street from the Paradisus Cancun. Aquaworld, Cancun’s largest marina, offers swimming with dolphins, snorkeling, scuba diving, and parasailing opportunities and day trips to the nearby island of Isla Mujeres. It also offers an opportunity (which we took) to take a jet boat out to see English artist Jason Decaires Taylor’s 400 underwater life-sized sculptures that form an artificial reef.

The Paradisus Playa del Carmen, the other awesome resort I visited, is located about 45 minutes south of Cancun, right on the Mayan Riviera, and it’s an even larger property, with over

has ever actually tasted Perrier. But I’ve stocked up anyway, along with a new water cooler and some juices, because I need something.

These habits that we hate are only there because they serve some purpose in our lives. Food comforts us. Alcohol helps us relax. Diet Pepsi dances on your tongue, especially when you take that first sip after the ice is added (I really need to reach for that Perrier again). Or perhaps it’s something even more intransigent: that

go-nowhere relationship helps you feel not so alone, even if he’s never going to marry you, even if she’s never going to stop flirting with other guys, even if he still chooses porn over you. At least you have someone, right?

Maybe this year it’s time to say that the bad things that are holding you back have to go and find something to replace them.

If you eat for pleasure, find something else that will give you pleasure. If you go for three days without taking more than a

small dessert at a time, let yourself buy a new lipstick. Trying to give up cigarettes?

Start a new hobby that will keep you busy.

Tossing out that boyfriend who constantly berates you? Start volunteering and find a wider circle of friends.

Don’t just say good-bye to something; say hello to something else. Misery thrives in a vacuum, so this new year fill up that vacuum with things that help you, not hurt you. That’s the route to a truly happy new year.

Winter can be worrisome.

Treacherous winter roads can make it difficult to visit your aging parents. A move to Seasons means a vibrant, carefree retirement for them and peace of mind for you.

900 suites, including 120 Royal Service Luxury Junior Suites (with a Jacuzzi on each balcony), and more than 100 swimup suites. It’s located close to Playa del Carmen’s main street, 5th Avenue, which I could reach by simply strolling along the beach for about 25 minutes. I also discovered that it’s less than an hour boat ride to the island of Cozumel.

In addition to the pampering you’ll receive at Playa del Carmen, I’d also recommend taking the resort’s informative mangrove tour, to learn more about the importance of preserving this delicate eco-system. I’d also take time to experience swimming in a nearby cenote (an exposed groundwater pool/natural sinkhole).

Furthermore, I’d suggest adding a day trip to the nearby Mayan archaeological sites at Tulum, Coba, and/or Chichen Itza and these trips can be arranged right at the resort itself.

Signs indicate a spring election in the offing: MPP News - Northumberland-Quinte West Will there be a spring election in Ontario after a budget is brought down?

“That’s the billion dollar question,” says Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Rob Milligan, but “there are certain signs” it will happen.

Premier Kathleen Wynne, who assumed the job when she won a Liberal party leadership race after her predeces-

sor Dalton McGuinty resigned, appears willing to go to the polls to get a mandate from the people directly, Milligan said.

“She’s feeling some of the pressure (to do) that.”

Also, “the NDP have signalled they are not going to prop up the Liberals any longer (after having) already done that twice.”

But, he added, “One thing I’ve learned

so far (in politics) is that just when you think that you figured something out, the winds change so there could be a deal struck between the Liberals and the NDP. It wouldn’t surprise me.”

Wynne, with “some of the things she’s proposing ... (is) even more left wing that even (NDP leader) Andrea Horvath.”

Should an election be held, however, Milligan and the Progressive Conservatives will be ready to do battle, having put together 15 white papers setting out their positions on a number of issues, including energy, health care, education, job creation, welfare, labour, and more.

The soaring cost of electricity and the $1.1 billion that was squandered in the cancellation of two gas-fire powered plants are sure to be major election issues, Milligan said.

Governments make mistakes but “the most disturbing part was the fact they tried to cover up” what took place, which led to an OPP investigation being launched, he said.

People are “frustrated” with “scandal

after scandal of the misuse and misappropriation of their monies, their tax dollars” in connection with the power plants, E-health, ORNGE – “the list goes on and on.”

Milligan said the high cost of electricity is “a major concern” among manufacturers in his riding, because of fluctuating bills tied to the purchase of expensive green energy produced by wind turbines and solar panels, and the sale of surplus electricity at a loss to other jurisdictions.

Residential rates are projected to go up by more than 40 per cent in the next few years.

The Conservatives, if elected, wouldn’t be able to stop that from happening, because “the ball’s already rolling,” but they would set out a different path for energy production over the next ten to 30 years, he said, which would include honouring existing contracts but ending the feed-in tariff program that pays high prices for wind and solar energy.

Milligan said his office was “inundated with phone calls” after Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli tried to downplay the cost of the power plant cancellations to Lose yourself in the music and find yourself in shape! hydro customJoin the new basic ZUMBA FITNESS class!! ers by saying they starts Monday, January 13, 2014 from 5:30 – 6:30 pm amounted to “less at the Masonic hall, 153 Main street, brighton than a Tim HorcYnthia stanhoPe RMt, Zumba Fitness Instructor, will ton’s cup of coffee lead you through the moves in this 8 week introductory session, a year” for the next with classes continuing through 2014! $80 for 8 weeks 20 years. call 613-847-1183 for more info or to register.

ers asked, he said.

The working poor and seniors on fixed incomes “are having a real hard time paying their electricity bill, especially in a winter like we’re getting,” Milligan said.

Milligan said his focus in 2014 will be to help with efforts to retain and create jobs in the riding, so young people won’t have to leave to find work elsewhere.

“People are ready for a change,” Milligan said. They’re “tired” of the current government’s scandals and decisionmaking that have hurt rural Ontario, such as the cancellation of the slots program that poured money into the horse racing industry.

It has forced “quite a few people” to sell their farms and get rid of their horses, and the negative spinoff effects have been huge, he said.

Trent-Severn Waterway needs ‘complete overhaul’: Norlock News - Trent Hills – NorthumberlandQuinte West MP Rick Norlock sees merit in a proposal to put a new operating model in place to run the money-losing Trent-Severn Waterway and make it self-sufficient.

The solution put forward by the Trent-Severn Waterway Working Group includes increasing on-demand services for boaters passing through the system as well as extending the daily hours of operations “to align” with all land- and water-based users.

Parks Canada was heavily criticized last year by boaters encountering delays as a result of shortened workdays and the use of flying crews who travelled between locks to open the gates according to a schedule.

The working group, whose members include Quinte West Mayor John Williams, Peterborough County council, and cruise boat companies, also advocates short-term investments and a new governing structure that engages users and other levels of government, “involving them by giving a say in governance.”

It said a long-term plan was needed to solve capital and water management issues, environmental sustainability, and tourism and historical preservation.

Analogous models include the St. Lawrence Seaway and airport trusts.

Norlock said he and three other MPs who have been working together to address issues raised by waterway users and municipalities agree with the working group that “we have to find a different way of operating the Trent-Severn that encourages more use, that accurate-

ly reflects its positiveness to the economy,” and helps realize its full potential.

“Where we probably separate is our ability to get done the things that they want to,” he said. “It’s how fast can we make that happen and yet meet the federal government’s deficit reduction action plan, that’s going to be the big problem.”

The cutbacks in staff and operating costs was “precipitated” by the deficit reduction action plan which demanded every department “show some savings,” Norlock said.

The MPs believe more savings could be achieved with the waterway than have been implemented but they “would take more time to do,” and the prime minister has made clear he wants the deficit erased by 2016, he said.

“We think we need a complete overhaul.”

The waterway has seen “a significant decrease in boating traffic” over the past 20 years while the cost of operating the system has gone up substantially.

“You can’t keep operating, losing as much money as it was, you have to look at ways of increasing revenue,” he said.

One potential area is “we should be charging more money for power production” that currently exists along the waterway, and developing new sites for generation.

“How much will they pay for use of that water to create power?” he asked.

Norlock also sees the need to work with the province to see how the two levels of Please see “Trent” on page 17

Health unit confirms one death of local individual from the flu causes serious illness in younger people as well.

Children under five years of age already face a high risk of becoming ill from influenza, but may be even more vulnerable to the H1N1 strain as they were not exposed to this flu strain that first circulated during the 2009/2010 flu season.

As of January 3, the Health Unit has received lab-confirmed reports of 16 influenza cases, in individuals ranging in age from four years to 87 years.

Of those 16 cases, 11 individuals are under the age of 50 years.

While the immunization history of all the cases is not known, Holt confirms that at least six of the individuals have not been immunized against the flu.

The Health Unit is offering two special clinics, on in Lindsay on January 9 and the other in Port Hope on January 14, specifically

geared to families with children between the ages of six months and five years of age.

Appointments are necessary and will be provided first to families with young children.

There are still plenty of other opportunities for area residents to be immunized against the flu.

Anyone over five years of age can get the flu shot at any pharmacy offering the flu shot and a full list of participating pharmacies can be found on the Health Unit’s website at www.hkpr.on.ca. Residents can also contact their health care provider for the flu shot.

“This year, there is an excellent match between the flu vaccine and the H1N1 strain of influenza now circulating, so it is even more important to get a flu shot,” Holt stated.

For more information on the flu, visit the Health Unit’s website at www.hkpr.on.ca

Norlock said he and his colleagues will meet with Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq “very early in the new year to find out what’s going to happen.”

Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan said he “can’t believe the federal government is doing this to us” by shortchanging the waterway which is “a huge economic driver.” He suggested abolishing the Senate and selling the building, which would free up “a whole whack of money” for the waterway.

The institution is archaic and populated by “a pack of thieves,” he said.

“It’s obvious we don’t need it.”

The working group in its report, “Unlocking the Trent Severn’s Potential,” said cuts to the waterway’s operations have “caused real and material negative economic impact to the canal community and exasperated outstanding capital issues.”

Teams challenged to prepare meal for five for ten bucks

By John Campbell

News - Warkworth – Teams taking part in the third annual Definitely Not a Black Tie Lunch fund-raiser will have more money to work with this year to prepare a meal for five.

Not much more – their budget has been increased to $10, up two dollars from

last year’s amount.

Still not a lot to feed five people but that’s what makes the challenge so interesting.

Entrants will also be limited to using only those ingredients available at the 7 Hills Community Bank, the organization hosting the two-hour event January 18 at St. Paul’s United Church

Campbellford Passport Clinic MP Rick Norlock is holding a Passport Clinic Saturday, January 11, 9 a.m. – noon at the Campbellford Library 98 Bridge St. E.

Rick Norlock

If you have any questions prior to January 11th, please visit www.ricknorlock.ca for contact information and office hours.

R0012475508

Please visit Passport Canada at www.ppt.gc.ca to find out which documents and signatures are required to complete your application PRIOR to attending the Passport Clinic.

A photographer will be available at the clinic for passport photos for a fee.

Please note that the turnaround time for completed passports is about 4-6 weeks.

in the Gathering Place Room. The doors open at noon.

“What we’re trying to do is make it more pertinent to the people who use the food bank,” said Liz Law, a 7 Hills volunteer who’s in charge of the group organizing the fundraiser.

Pat Stuckless, a public health food worker with the Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit, will be on hand to critique the meals based on their nutritional value and presentation.

“There will be sort of a ranking (but) we don’t want to make it too competitive because we appreciate that they’re just giving their time,” 7 Hills chair Gail Covert said.

It’s not about making the cheapest meal, Law said, “It’s about (preparing) a good meal for ten dollars that a family could eat that is nutritious.”

The challenge is limited to five teams, of varying number, who will prepare and cook their meals in the church’s kitchen. The meals will then laid out on a table in the Gathering Place Room to be auctioned off.

The highest bid last year was $125 and the event raised slightly more than $1,000 in total for the pantry which provides food for 25 families – close to 70 people – a month on average.

The teams will also have access to the fruits and vegetables that make up the $15 Good Food boxes sold monthly, and they’ll be allowed to use salt, pepper, eggs, milk, three slices of bread, margarine, a cup of flour, and half a cup of sugar without it counting against their total cost.

Contents from a Good Food box will be used to make the soup that’s included in the $7 admission, which also pays for a sandwich, cookie, tea or coffee and two tickets for a door prize draw.

The fun day will once again be emceed by Sonny Lennon. He will be joined by Stuckless, who will provide “a lot of painless educating” about food and nutrition, Covert said.

The food bank’s shelves at St. Paul’s are well-stocked, thanks in large part to an “incredibly generous” community and provisions available at Food 4 All Northumberland, a non-profit warehouse in Cobourg that distributes food, health and beauty items, office supplies, toys and clothing to member agencies throughout the county.

7 Hills is open every Friday but the third one of the month, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

It used to be open one Tuesday night a month as well but the volunteer group stopped doing that in December because the response wasn’t great.

WEST; Archie Leonard

May 8 1933 – January 2 2014.

Born in Hastings, at a whopping 12 pounds, Archie was the youngest of 12 children of Bill and Mary Lousia West. That many children meant lots of stories to tell, NONE of which Archie was EVER the troublemaker. If you believe that…you didn’t know Archie.

He started his love affair with Luella Lee, daughter of Wesley and Vi Lee, at Christmas with a Life Saver storybook. Their story carried on for over 60 years.

Lots of love, laughter, and teasing. His three girls; Lynne (Dennis McColl), Karen (Hugh Mitchell), Tracy (Len Rance), learned to dish it right back and he’d laugh. 1949 All Ontario Midget Hockey Champion.

He loved his hockey. As a goaltender, he would lean his elbow on the cross bar and wait until the action hit the blue line before getting ready for the puck.

Lou was glad when helmets and facemasks came out because Archie had broken his nose so often that he could flatten it across his cheek. He’d do that to gross out the grandchildren. He was still playing in his 70’s. At games, his grandchildren didn’t stand a chance. Playing cards he won, especially euchre, he could make it on a 9 and take the hand. Crokinole, the kids fingers were bruised …he won. Archie was a dad, an awesome grampa to Karen Cork (Kirk), DJ McColl (Rachelle), Tara Watters (Derek), Heather McColl (Chris Knox), Dax Mitchell, Drew Mitchell, Zac Rance (Kate Macoun), and Miranda Rance, great grampa to Robbie Cork, Camden and Nathan McColl, William and Samantha Knox, a brother to; Jim, Rita, Thelma, Myrtle, Mildred, Laura, Hazel, Don, Billy,(all predeceased), Bob, Tiny (Edith), a friend to many, an uncle to even more, and especially a loving husband to Lou. Friends may send condolences to Archie’s family by contacting THE HENDREN FUNERAL HOMES, NORWOOD CHAPEL at www. hendrenfuneralhome.com.

He will be missed and remembered by all.
