Winter weather puts a damper on Winterfest

By Ray Yurkowski

R0012491340

Events - Brighton – It was a case of too much winter last weekend for organizers of the 20th anniversary and ďŹ nale of Brighton Winterfest as the region was pounded with driving snow and high winds.

Early events on Saturday went ahead without a hitch. The Mayor’s Breakfast at the community centre attracted about 100 hungry diners along with the third annual “Rink, Rock and Roll� at the curling club and the show went on with a children’s entertainer from Ajax.

But then, things got much worse as Old Man Winter’s stormy blast affected the entire region.

By mid-morning Saturday, Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) issued a media release advising snowplows at Hamilton Township and the Municipality of Brighton had been taken off the roads because of severe weather conditions and poor visibility. For safety reasons, police would be responding to priority incidents only

Cramahe could see its police bill greatly reduced in 2015

By John Campbell

Snow storm doesn’t stop brave souls.

News – Cramahe Township – The municipality will ďŹ nd out this summer what its policing costs will be for the next ďŹ ve years but initial indications are that they will drop substantially.

That’s the current expectation among local ofďŹ cials, based on information sessions the OPP held across the province last fall.

The proposed new billing model for policing, to take effect January 1, 2015, will set a base rate of $260 per household and add to it the cost of calls for service.

areas. The public was requested to avoid any unnecessary travel until weather and road conditions improved.

Minutes later, OPP were at the scene of a multi-vehicle collision on the eastbound lanes of Highway 401 near Cobourg where 30 vehicles, including six tractor trailers, were involved in a series of collisions. Two fire trucks and an ambulance were also struck, with no injuries reported to emergency services staff.

At the same time, east of Brighton, Quinte West OPP reported both east and westbound lanes of Highway 401 were closed from Wallbridge-Loyalist Road to Marysville.

At 1:30 p.m., Hamilton Township declared a state of emergency due to white-outs, blocked roads and extremely slippery road conditions causing severe safety concerns for workers and residents of the municipality.

“The weather conditions have taxed our municipal roads department resources,” read a press release. “Additional assistance has been called in to support the clearing and cleaning of roads.”

On Monday, Northumberland OPP reported they responded to 130 collisions throughout the county and municipal roadways from midnight January 24 to 7 a.m. January 27.

As well, three police cruisers were damaged as a result of motorists colliding with them while officers were investigating a crash.

“I think we did pretty well to get in what we did,” said Winterfest co-organizer Doug Platt who, along with Derek Madder, took the reins from founder Claude Thompson. Platt spent some considerable time on the telephone cancelling later Saturday events and took it all in stride.

“That’s the way Mother Nature is,” he said.

When asked if this year does indeed mark the final Winterfest in Brighton, Platt cited the lack of volunteers and funding, saying, “It’s time to do something else but I’m sure some of the events will go on.”

But he is determined Winterfest will go out with a bang.

The giant bonfire and fireworks have been rescheduled for 6 p.m. on February 1 at King Edward Park.

Where’s the apology?

Dear Editor, During the question period of the Brighton Council meeting on November 18th, 2013, I asked the following question, “In the performance of your duty as a councillor you feel that it is necessary to meet with other councillors outside of regular council meetings?”

The response from Councillor Craig Kerr was, “I will say that this question is really posed in the same vein as the one, have you stopped beating your wife”. If Councillor Kerr did not want to answer the question, he could have respectfully declined to comment as that is his prerogative.

It is not his prerogative to insult citizens with such an offensive remark. This insulting comment was completely uncalled for and as such I asked for an apology from Councillor Kerr on December 14th via email. He never responded via email, or by telephone, or at the Brighton Council meeting on December 16th.

Without a response, I wrote to the Mayor and Councillors and asked for my complaint and apology request to be added to the next council meeting which was on January 20th, as the January 6th meeting had been cancelled. At the start of the January 20th council meeting, Councillor Kerr used the Conflict of Interest Act which only applies to pecuniary interests to recuse himself from discussing my request. Since my request had nothing to do with money, this was a blatantly inappropriate use of the law. Councillor Kerr declared a conflict regarding my request for an apology so that he would not be able to answer questions from other councillors or offer the apology. How can you be a conflict of interest when someone has asked you for an apology? Clearly Councillor Kerr stands behind his comment, but why is it so difficult for a person in his position to say “I am sorry if my comments offended anyone?”

During the debate, Councillor Vandertoorn supported Councillor Kerr by making the comment that it was too late to ask for an apology, even though this was the first opportunity since the December 16th meeting. Councillor Rittwage did not have an issue with Kerr’s comment as he said that it had been in use since the 60s. Councillor Rowley did not make any comments during the discussion but voted to support Councillor Kerr along with Councillors Rittwage and Vandertoorn.

It am not sure if it was more shocking that Councillor Kerr scurried away to hide from giving an apology, or that his actions were supported by these three councillors.

These councillors will not have my vote in the coming election unless they can start showing some respect for the citizens that they supposedly represent!

Adrian Ellis, Brighton

didn’t know. I am sure many women who have suffered spousal abuse didn’t know.

To take a quote from movies and say it is ok...well conjure up some in your mind and you will see it is not always ok.

Stats say 67 per cent of Canadian women have suffered physical abuse at one time in their life. I take offense to Councillor Kerr’s analogy and do not understand why it is so hard for him to say, “I am sorry I offended you.”

Everyone makes mistakes; all that was asked for was a show of sensitivity.

I hope the women in Brighton will stand up and ask that Councillor Kerr apologize for his remarks.

Connected to your community OPINION Shades of Newhart The Arab Spring three years on

By Terry Bush

Editorial – It has taken a little longer than it did after the 1848 revolutions in Europe, but on the third anniversary of the Egyptian revolution we can definitely say that the “Arab Spring” is finished. The popular, mostly non-violent revolutions that tried to overthrow the single-party dictatorships and absolute monarchies of the Arab world had their moments of glory, but the party is over and the bosses are back.

In many places the Arab revolutionaries had startlingly quick successes at first – Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen – just like the French, German, and Italian revoluGwynne Dyer tionaries did in Europe’s “Springtime of the Peoples”. For a time it looked like everything would change. Then came the counter-revolutions and it all fell apart, leaving only a few countries permanently changed for the better like Denmark then, or Tunisia in today’s Arab world.

The disheartening parallels are particularly strong between Egypt, by far the biggest country in the Arab world, and France, which was Europe’s most important and populous country in 1848. In both cases, the revolutions at first brought free media, civil rights and free elections, but also a great deal of social turmoil and disorientation.

In both France and Egypt the newly enfranchised masses then elected presidents whose background alarmed much of the population: a nephew of Napoleon in one case, a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in the other. And here the stories diverge for a time but the ending, alas, does not.

In France, President Louis Napoleon launched a coup against his own presidency, and re-emerged in 1852 as Emperor Napoleon III. It had been a turbulent few years, and by then a large majority of the French were willing to vote for him because he represented authority, stability and tradition.

They threw away their own democracy.

In Egypt last year, the army allied itself with former revolutionaries to overthrow the elected president, Mohamed

Morsi and within a few months, after an election which will genuinely represent the wish of most Egyptians to trade their new democracy for authority, stability and tradition, Field Marshal Abdel Fatah al-Sisi will duly assume the presidency.

The counter-revolution is as popular in Egypt now as it was in France then.

And if you fear that this analogy is really relevant, then here’s the worst of it. After the defeat of the 1848 revolutions, there were no further democratic revolutions in Europe for twenty years. If that timetable were also to apply to the Arab world, then the next round of democratic revolutions would only be due around 2035. But it probably doesn’t apply.

There is one key difference between the European revolutions of 1848 and the Arab revolutions of 2011. The 1848 revolutions were violent explosions of popular anger that succeeded in hours or days, while those of 2010-11 were largely non-violent, more calculated struggles that took much longer to win. Non-violent revolutions give millions of people time to think about why they are taking these risks and what they hope to get out of it.

They may still lose focus, take wrong turns, even throw all their gains away. Mistakes are human, and so is failure.

But once people have participated in a non-violent revolution they are permanently politicised, and in the long run they are quite likely to remember what they came for.

The most promising candidate to succeed Gene Sharp as the world authority on non-violent revolutions is Erica Chernoweth, a young American academic who co-wrote the study “Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of NonViolent Conflict” with diplomat Maria Stephan. A lot of their book is about why non-violent revolution succeeds or fails, but most interesting of all are their statistics about how often it succeeds.

Their headline statistic is that violent revolutionary struggles succeed in overthrowing an oppressive regime only 30 percent of the time, whereas non-violent campaigns succeed almost 60 percent of the time. By that standard, the Arab world is certainly under-performing.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Time to revolutionize our hydro system Dear Editor, It has taken the municipalities a very long time to finally react to the corruption of the provincial government regarding energy costs but it now looks as though the dam has finally burst.

Both Havelock-Belmont-Methuen and Trent Hills’ councils have come out in protest of the province’s intention of raising hydro costs another 42 per cent over the next five years. This, of course, is just more political strategy in defence of the libleft’s general mismanagement of the economy and so they can continue to bankroll their now infamous Green Energy Act come hell or high water.

This Liberal government believes it has the right to use your hard-earned tax dollars to subsidize its plan to build wind turbines and solar panels, which won’t even make a small dent in our energy crisis situation for at least another 50 years. However, the Liberals aren’t really concerned about doubling or tripling hydro costs on seniors or residents on fixed incomes. They seem to be saying let them freeze in their homes during the cold winter months if they are opposed to joining the green generation.

Trent Hills’ Mayor Hector Macmillan got the municipal protest campaign going a few weeks ago and now HBM has added its voice to the protest. Macmillan has written to the Ontario Ombudsman to protest the absolutely ridiculous plan

to skyrocket the hydro rates into the stratosphere. The HBM resolution calls for an independent review of Hydro One and how it operates.

That review should include the management salary structure and a financial statement showing exactly where all the money goes. Consumers shouldn’t just be taken for granted anymore. I want to know, in particular, just how much of our hydro dollars are going to bribe investors into subsidizing wind turbines and solar panel construction.

Why is it that our representatives provincially and federally are not acting in the best interests of the people who elect them? Hydro One appears to operate basically without scrutiny or accountability.

HBM Mayor Ron Gerow summed it up accurately when he noted: “We need to take a look at the overall costs of operating and providing electricity to the residents of Ontario at affordable rates that are sustainable.”

It’s about time to change the old “business as usual” pattern when it comes to an affordable supply of energy in this province. In the meantime, it’s extremely important for all of the municipalities to keep the pressure on the province to do something useful for the taxpayers rather than acting simply in their own best political interests.

Rolly Ethier, Campbellford

I’m not talking about “The Bob Newhart Show” which ran in the 70s or the short-lived “Bob” show which ran in the 90s or the “The” show that was on in the early 2000s. I made up that last one but there’s still time if Bob wants to give sitcoms one more shot.

The Newhart I’m taking about also starred Tom Poston as George Utley, the handyman at Bob’s New England inn. I can vaguely remember an episode where the whole town was in an uproar because George was considering cheering for a new baseball team because he was fed up with, and correct me if I’m wrong, the Boston Red Sox. While discussing his dilemma with Bob, it was suggested that the Toronto Blue Jays might be worthy of George’s support.

George however, didn’t think he could cheer for the Blue Jays because, despite the fact that they were pretty birds, they were just too bossy and pushy around the feeder.

I know how George feels.

On any given year, we welcome a wide variety of fine-feathered friends to our feeders for a bite to eat. Now with over a foot of snow on the ground, feeding the birds has become a daily ritual. Last year we had all kinds of gold finches, disguised in their somewhat dull winter plumage. We also enjoyed assorted sparrows and house finches, a few blue jays, a dozen or so chickadees, some downy and hairy woodpeckers, the occasional grosbeak and even the neighbourhood pileated woodpecker stopped by for a morsel or two. Dropping by on a daily basis were eight red squirrels and a couple of black squirrels.

Everyone pretty much got along too. With such diversity, it was almost a joy to wash the pots and pans as most of the activity took place right outside the kitchen window.

This year we have blue jays ... big fat ones.

While I agree with George Utley that they are pretty birds, I could easily live without them. At 7 a.m. each morning there are two jays waiting by the feeder.

As soon as they see me, they sound the alarm and within seconds, 30 of the darn things arrive to take over the place. I’ve tried throwing sunflower seeds off to one side to keep them happy while I put out some finch mix in another location but what do they do? They go and eat all the finch mix and then head over to the sunflower seeds to make sure nobody else gets fed. We throw old kibble out to try to distract them and they gobble it up, eat the finch mix and then eat all the sunflower seeds.

So, because the feeders are a little boring this year, I’ve taken to trying to feed other things. With a winter like this one, everyone could use a little help.

When my wife Mare had the unfortunate experience of hitting what she thought was a lump of brown snow in the centre of the road, we took that grouse and put it on a trail that a little fox used. Within a couple of days, the grouse was history. When more snow and ice made it even more difficult to forage, I put some kibble in the same location to lend the fox a helping hand.

Because it usually dropped by at night, I set up a trail cam to see if we could get some photos. And when I excitedly plugged that card into my computer what did I find ... close to ten blue jays. Even so, I figured it was worth another shot.

More kibble, more blue jays. When I took the camera down, we were rewarded with a couple of holes that the fox had dug looking for the food it could smell but not see. So I turned my attention to feeding the deer as they’re having a tough go this winter. I set the camera up again in a different location and laid out the deer ration. I was excited when I saw over 200 photos had been taken over two days. That excitement quickly vanished when the computer revealed a dozen blue jays in various stages of flight.

Trying to solve my ongoing problem, I moved my operation to the middle of a cedar bush figuring there was no way those darn birds would see it; more jays.

So, thanks to the blue jays, I’ve pretty much given up trying to feed any other animals this winter. I’m sure at this stage of the game my wife is thinking I’m on my way to going a little nuts. Anyone pulling into our driveway would no doubt concur if they caught sight of the crazy person constantly yelling and waving his arms in the kitchen window.

As the next door neighbour said on Sunday, “The blue jays around my place are as big as grouse this year.” I said that’s because they’re eating me out of house and home.

It’s gotten so bad, I’ve almost started to have fantasies about Italians and not the type that look like Sofia Loren. I mean the ones from Toronto we constantly had to chase off our property back in the seventies when they came to shoot anything that moved even blue jays. I’m not quite to that point yet but I am so far gone that I laugh when the turkeys show up under the feeders to vacuum everything up. Expensive maybe, but it does my heart good to see something get the best of the blue jays now and then.

Cramahe could see its police bill greatly reduced in 2015 Continued from page 3

The provincial police force estimated the average cost per household under the new system would be $369.

That’s well below the $504 per household Cramahe currently pays for the $1.2 million it’s billed annually for policing, based on 2011 census numbers showing 2,378 households in the township.

At last week’s Cramahe Township

Police Services Board meeting, Councillor Pat Westrope asked chair Richard Saunders, who attended one of the information sessions, if the $260 per household figure was “firm.”

Saunders said there’s “a pretty good chance that might change” because many municipalities are complaining they will be “paying a lot more than they are (now) ... It’s not cast in stone.”

Cramahe signed a five-year contract

with the OPP in 2012 but the municipality received notice last month from Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services Madeleine Meilleur that the agreement will be terminated at the end of this year.

It will be replaced by a new, simplified billing model “based on principles of fairness and transparency” that is “intended to provide cost-recovery in a fair and equitable manner.”

Meilleur said the new billing model was developed by the ministry and the OPP “in response to municipal concerns” expressed across the province.

The OPP and township officials will discuss policing options for 2015, including a new contract agreement, beginning this summer.

Westrope said the anticipated reduction in police costs, which consume a quarter of the township’s budget, is

“good news. We’ve got lots of places that we could put that savings to, there’s no doubt about it.”

Saunders agreed “it’s great” the costs are going down, because $1.2 million is “very high.”

Northumberland OPP Staff Sergeant Phil Pike told the committee January 23 that calls for service are down “substantially” for each of the detachment’s policing contracts across the county.

ful to David, we are very happy that we were able to disappoint him.

Regarding “ambush politics.” We believe every member of council has a right and duty to ask questions; especially when those questions involve public safety. We also believe that to describe legitimate questioning as “ambush politics” is akin to calling legitimate questioning micromanagement. They are both terms used to impede accountability and transparency.

The question asked by Councillor Martinello involved a Brighton taxpayer who suffers a disability. This Brighton taxpayer had been waiting for a staff reply to legitimate and serious concerns about a public safety issue since October 20, 2013. As it turns out, this Brighton taxpayer received a staff reply to his concerns shortly after the January 20, 2014 council meeting. That is approximately three months after he first raised his concerns.

We believe it is unacceptable that it takes three months for a Brighton taxpayer to get a response to very seVETERINARY SERVICE rious concerns.

budget reveals the following requests for vehicles and equipment; tandem truck ($235,000), sidewalk plow ($140,000), zero turn mower ($10,000), ice resurfacer ($90,000) and cube van ($45,000). By our math that sums up to $520,000 of unsubstantiated vehicle and equipment requests. An amount substantially greater than $200,000.

We stand by our opposition to the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of taxpayers’ dollars on unsubstantiated vehicle and equipment requests. We stand by our opposition to hiring additional staff, especially before completion of the municipal services delivery review. Especially when, very recently, Sears announced the layoff of more than 500 staff in Belleville.

Especially when many Brighton taxpayers live on fixed incomes.

Well hundreds of thousands means more than two hundred thousand dollars. I question why these rogue councillors are using Rob Ford math here in Brighton. Hundreds of thousands of dollars. Misleading, incorrect, outrageous and certainly deceitful .… very disappointing to me.”

We believe the budget is one of the most important issues discussed by council. It tells how taxpayers’ money will be spent. To a large extent it sets council’s agenda. And it is obvious that David put some effort into figuring out the meaning of “hundreds of thousands”.

Dear Editor, The subject article discussed three issues.

Our opposition to spending taxpayers’ money on unsubstantiated vehicle and equipment requests, our opposition to hiring additional staff and “ambush politics.”

Regarding our opposition to unsubstantiated vehicle and equipment requests and hiring additional staff. During the citizen comment period of the January 20, 2014 council meeting, David Green stated, “I had to check Wikipedia to understand the definition of, and I quote, hundreds of thousands of dollars on unsubstantiated vehicle and equipment requests.

for federal and provincial properties, the Ontario Provincial Police contract is up more than $25,000 over last year along with the Chamber of Commerce ($19,185); public library ($18,300); the new five-year agreement with the YMCA ($11.500); and others such as Lower Trent Conservation Authority, Quinte Access, Pine Ridge Municipal Planning Agency and cemeteries ($11,200). The committee got creative when it came to the Campbellford Hospital request for $15,000. Half will be supported by the taxpayer while the remainder will be taken from a health services reserve fund.

“All of the external agencies that depend on us or ask us for money are dealing with the same economic pressures we’re dealing with,” said Frost. “They come to ask for increases and some are very big.”

But capital spending in Brighton is down, almost $60,000 from the amount in 2013 and that is a concern.

“It really is going in the wrong direction,” Frost advised the committee.

“You’re really sacrificing your own infrastructure to help others look after theirs. I understand their needs and their asks, but we’re dealing with the same economic pressures.”

“We’re at slightly over one per cent in internal spending,” she said, as the meeting wrapped up. “The rest are external pressures.”

And that didn’t sit well with Brighton resident David Green.

“At one per cent in internal departmental spending, you’re missing the

boat,” he told the committee during question period. “You are just prolonging the agony and you’re delaying the inevitable. We need more evidence of where we are moving forward in infrastructure. This is a great budget and you can pat yourselves on the back, but somewhere down the line we are going to have to pay the piper. It’s not enough.”

Another Brighton resident, Wayne Jefferson, agreed.

“I firmly believe we have to put money toward infrastructure,” he said. “As a council, you’ve got to stand up and you’ve got to take the heat this year.”

“I would have to agree,” said Vandertoorn. “We are falling behind by an additional $60,000 on top of what we’ve already fallen behind in previous years, so it’s compounding.

“Hopefully, we hear that message loud and clear during the public meeting because there is still time to revise our numbers.”

“You get what you pay for,” offered Rowley. “If you pay nothing, you get nothing.”

“The issue is courage,” Councillor Thomas Rittwage concluded. “Who here has the courage to tell the taxpayer that we’re not going to hold the line and will actually have to increase it to move forward? A lot of people around this table listen only to the people who say, ‘hold the line.’”

Taxpayers still have a chance to have their say; at a public meeting at council chambers, 35 Alice St., beginning at 6:30 p.m. on February 19.

“The Chalk Garden”

Next month the Brighton Arts Council gallery, at 28 Main St., is featuring East Northumberland Secondary School student artwork. The special presentation portrays a glimpse of local history with a selection of 20 freehand sketches of downtown architecture. The challenge, says ENSS teacher Ang Young, was “these were drawn without rulers or pencils, just black ink directly on paper.” While the originals are not for sale, numbered prints will be available to the public for $10 each. The opening reception for the exhibit will be held from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on February 6.

Fire department, vehicles and infrastructure discussed as budget draws near News – Brighton – The fire department, vehicles and infrastructure were the big items on the agenda last week as the Committee of the Whole debated the second draft of the 2014 budget.

When the topic of the fire department came up, Chief Administrative Officer Gayle Frost pointed to the Fire Master Plan, which suggests that the local focus is more on fighting fires than protection and prevention. Last month, during the first round of budget talks, some councillors were opposed to hiring a Deputy Fire Chief to take on that job.

“We, and the Fire Master Plan, strongly recommend this position,” advised Frost.

“Down the road, you will see great savings from this. If you don’t have fires, you don’t send your firemen out and volunteers only get paid for the hours they work.”

Councillor Emily Rowley agreed.

“I think proactive serves us much better than reactive,” she said.

“I’m not saying no to the (Fire) Chief,” said Councillor John Martinello. “But I have never heard there is an issue with education and fire prevention training.”

Mayor Mark Walas wondered if having an approved Fire Master Plan on the books puts the municipality in a position for potential liability.

“I think you would be in a much better position if you can demonstrate you have been proactive in getting the study done and are working toward implementation,” said Frost.

“If we don’t want to change, that’s council’s decision, but for God’s sake stop doing studies because they are going to tell you to change.”

And there have been more than a few in

this term of council, including the Asset per cent of the municipal fleet of vehicles has Management Plan, the Development Charges met or exceeded their estimated service life.

“What it’s saying is almost 60 per cent Study, the Fire Master Plan, Accessibility Plan, Storm Water Management Master Plan, of your fleet should be replaced,” Frost told King Edward Park Master Plan and Commu- the committee. “Next year, it’s going to be higher and, sooner or later, we’re going to nity Development Plan.

When a recommendation for municipal to start phasing it in and we’re working on a staff to take on septic system inspections was long-term financial plan. We’ve got to start proposed, Martinello balked, saying, “We’re somewhere.”

“In addition,” she said, “the plan told you, constantly told that staff is already overworked and overstressed, to add another function in order to deal with the infrastructure deficit we’re leaving to our future ratepayers; you doesn’t seem consistent with what I hear.”

us.”

Rolland has been a bus operator since 1965 and says the new RFP (Request for Proposal) procedures will put him and most other small operators out of business as the larger companies can afford to undercut them.

“We’ve been fighting this for four years,” he said. “They continue to ignore us.”

Tony Hanthorn from Hanthorn Motors in Carrying Place said this RFP procedure threatens his livelihood. “The big companies have higher bargaining power,” he said. “If we lose the bid, we’re out of business.”

Rolland adds it is an unfair process that big companies will

take advantage of. “The process is flawed,” he says.

“I’m disappointed and frustrated,” Rolland said.

In a meeting with Leal after his tour at GlobalMed, Rolland got a promise to review the issues.

“Give me a solid business approach alternative and I will take your plan to the powers that be,” Leal said. “I want a firm proposal with details, a business approach.”

Rolland says it has been hell for four years fighting this.

Leal said he can’t comment on the court cases. Another trial is going ahead in September in Perth with one of the local bus companies.

“The province needs to listen to our concerns,” Rolland said.

“We know the process is flawed.

We are asking the province to scrap it and come up with a system that is fair to small bus operators. We need alternatives to not gut our businesses.”

He said he has spoken to Premier Kathleen Wynne, the former Minister of Education, and former Premier Dalton McGuinty but was put on hold.

“If you care about rural Ontario you can’t afford to let us be railroaded out of business,” Rolland said. “I’ll be on welfare.”

Leal promised, “I will do my best.”

“When I joined the rescue centre in Trenton back in 2001, computers were just starting to be fully used on a day-to-day basis for all our operations,” said Dana Watling, a 28year veteran of the Canadian Coast Guard.

Watling says it took “many

years” to develop the SARMaster program used today.

The Trenton centre is responsible for coordinating SAR response to air and marine incidents within a 11 million square-kilometre area including the majority of the onshore, offshore and territorial waters in the Canadian Arctic; the entirety of the Northwest Territories; most of Nunavut; except for the southern half of Baffin Island; the western half of Quebec; and the entire provinces of Ontario; Manitoba; Saskatchewan; and Alberta. The centre

is operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Canadian Coast Guard.

“It is a plan that is used worldwide and working exceptionally well,” said Watling. “This way, when you require aircraft for marine incidents, your partner is right across the desk from you.”

The Centre responds to about 3,600 calls per year; about 70 per cent of the responses are maritime, 20 per cent air and 10 per cent humanitarian. The busiest time of the year for maritime responses is sum-

mer, the season of pleasure boating on the Great Lakes and other waterways in the Trenton Search and Rescue Region (SRR). Air responses peak in summer and fall, during the fishing and hunting seasons.

If the incident is located on an inland lake, they’ll call the local police.

“But, once you folks are kind enough to call me and tell me it’s somewhere in Canada, it’s my problem until I pass it on to the appropriate agency,” said Watling.

“It’s whatever we can do to prevent loss of life and injury and we will use whatever means it takes to do this. It’s not just me, it’s the SAR team.”

He encouraged the audience to learn how to use the ‘where-amI’ feature on cellphones and GPS (global positioning system) devices.

“We can do it,” he said. “But it’s something that will help take the ‘search’ out of search and rescue.”

And he asked everyone to keep their boat registrations up to date.

“We’re there to help you, but you’ve got to work with us to help us help you,” he said. “With that information, we can usually solve a case within two minutes.”

When asked about the availability of U.S. troops if a mission is close to the border, Watling replied, “There are no borders in search and rescue. They can come in and help

us and we can go over and help them.

“Search and rescue technicians live the motto, ‘so that others may live,’” said Watling. “The job these men and women do boggles my mind. They’re the ones that jump out of airplanes in the dark of night and handle very challenging situations. They are incredible individuals; they are a different breed and they do an incredible job.”

With all the advances in computer technology, sometimes things still go wrong. If the centre loses power, there are back-up generators in place.

“If worse comes to worst, we still have the paper backup,” he said.

“It’s still available just in case.”

“When you look at the area we are responsible for, when I go to work at night, I’ve got a big backyard to play in,” said Dana Watling of Joint Rescue Coordination Centre at CFB Trenton. “So, when somebody says, ‘I’m stranded on a lake,’ I need more information.”

Why was Dr. King hanged?

Find out at Brighton history event outside the Cobourg courthouse on June 9, 1859.

Interestingly, Buchanan is a distant cousin to the infamous Dr. King.

Growing up at the family farm in Codrington, Buchanan recalls hearing stories about his grandfather smashing the headstone to mark King’s ďŹ nal resting place and burying the pieces.

The evening also marks the unveiling of a collection of Dr. King artefacts thanks to Brighton resident Roger McMurray. They will be formally donated to the Proctor House Museum at the weekend event.

McMurray recalls paying less than $50 for a box full of historic treasures at a Campbellford auction in 2004.

When he got it home, he looked over the contents. Included was an August 1, 1931 copy of Maclean’s magazine, which featured a story entitled, “The Strange Case of Dr. King.� “Human justice is not infallible,� wrote story author W. Stewart Wallace. “It frequently happens that in

courts of justice, through the vagaries of law or the perversity of juries, the guilty escape punishment; and, on the other hand, there have been not a few cases where the innocent have been found guilty. It has happened also, on occasions, that the right man has been found guilty for the wrong reason. “An example of this last type of case is possibly to be found in the trial of Dr. William Henry King ‌ at Brighton, Canada West, in the autumn of 1858.â€?

McMurray remembers hearing about King during the Brighton Ghost Walks, held in the summertime at Proctor House. “Everything clicked,� he said, in an interview last week. “These papers are a piece of local history and it’s something that needs to stay in Brighton.�

The open house weekend continues from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on February 22 and 23, when the King Edward Park Community Centre will be

GlobalMed expands business through provincial support Vice President John Seniuk said the company started in 1999 making medical ďŹ ttings with non-invasive tubing that sells to over 30 companies all over the world. “We started with 35 employees and now we have almost 200,â€? he said.“This company is recession-proof.â€?

Jeff Leal said it is important to invest in Canadian companies to keep them from going to the United States. He noted that many states have million dollar incentives to lure companies. “These are the challenges facing the government,� he said. Leal noted that GlobalMed won a Business Achievement Award. “It’s nice to see GlobalMed get recognized,� said Mayor John Williams. “It is a great contribution to the city.�

John Seniuk said the global market is crazy competitive and it is important to lead the way with technology. “We are the little company that could,� he smiled.

Al Flieler, general manager, said, “Healthcare providers around the world rely on our medical tubing in situations where it matters the most and we’re very proud of the skilled and dedicated team we’ve developed at our Trenton facility.�

The last two pages of a nine-page, handwritten final prayer “selected and adapted for Dr. King, under sentence of death,� at Cobourg on June 6, 1859, three days before he was hanged. The document, “to be kept to my memory by my dear mother,� is signed “Wm. H. King M.D. (written by himself).� Here, King confides “a special confefsion (sic) of past sins & especially of that great & terrible crime for which sentence of death has been righteously pronounced.�

Events – Brighton – The Heritage Advisory Committee (HAC) is hoping history buffs will circle the last weekend in February on their calendars for the second annual Brighton History Open House. And after a successful event last year, they’re saying this one will be even bigger and better.

Featuring people in our past, this time out, the feature presentation from local historian Dan Buchanan will be on a separate night – starting at 6:30 p.m. on February 20 – when he’ll tell the tale of popular Codrington physician Dr. William Henry King, the only person to be hanged in Northumberland County.

The story revolves around a brutal murder. The victim: the doctor’s wife, who died on November 4, 1858, at the age of 25. Court proceedings determined she died from arsenic prescribed by her doctor husband.

After the verdict, Dr. King was hanged

Bad weather results in more than 100 collisions over three days Numerous multiple vehicle collisions occurred last weekend along the 401 as high winds and prolonged snowfall combined to limit visibility and impair driving.

The eastbound lane between Wooler and County Road 30 had to be closed temporarily as a result of collisions that happened Friday January 27, causing traffic to come to a stop until police said it was safe to proceed.

Blackburn also speculated the January 9 theft might have been connected to a theft that occurred at his place last November involving roughly the same amount of copper.

“There’s nothing to indicate that’s been solved,” German said.

Charges laid in theft of copper wire from Brighton Recycling News – Brighton – Three men have been charged in connection with the theft of copper wire from Brighton Recycling.

Northumberland OPP media relations officer Constable Karen German said a “thorough” investigation by uniformed officers and members of the Street Response Team led to arrests being made January 24.

The copper wire, weighing 1,800 pounds and worth an estimated $6,200, was stolen from the County Road business sometime overnight January 9. Also taken was a 1999 Chevrolet Ventura van used on the property to move materials around.

Police had found the van abandoned nearby but did not link it to the break and enter at the time, German said.

The wire was sold to a Peterborough company “for less than the estimated value,” she said.

Charged with one count each of break and enter, possession of property obtained by crime worth more than $5,000, and possession of a stolen motor vehicle worth less than $5,000 were James Locke, 26, and Jason Kyle Robertson, 37, both of Quinte West, and Noel Alexander Terrell, 41, of Kingston.

Locke and Robertson were released on a promise to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Brighton March 4.

Terrell, who has also been charged with weapons dangerous and two counts of failing to comply with a probation order, was held for a bail hearing. He is also scheduled to appear in a Brighton court on March 4.

Scott Blackburn, the owner of Brighton Recycling, recently offered a reward of up to $10,000 for information that would lead police to the people behind the break-in at his business.

Asked if the reward had helped in bringing about the arrests, German

News – Northumberland County – Police were kept busy last weekend responding to 130 collisions that occurred over three days on county and municipal roads because of blowing and drifting snow.

Fortunately there were only few instances where there were injuries and they were minor and non-life threatening, Northumberland OPP’s media relations officer Constable Karen German said in a news release.

“Three Northumberland OPP cruisers were damaged as a result of motorists colliding with them while the officers were already investigating a crash,” she said. “The detachment resources were taxed to the limit, but our officers worked diligently and professionally to make sure that everyone was assisted and kept safe.”

Police began responding to reports of collisions at midnight Friday, Jan. 24 and they were still busy at it until 7 a.m.

Monday, Jan. 27.

The inclement weather that struck the county caused “bad driving conditions and poor visibility,” German said.

When they arrive in town, they discover Max and Steve are actually nicknames for the lady’s long lost nieces and their acting skills are challenged as they try to impersonate Maxine and Stephanie.

Inevitably they attract the amorous attentions of several local bachelors, while at the same time losing their own hearts as well.

Entertainment – Belleville – It’s going to be a busy year of live music and entertainment at the Empire Theatre in 2014, and the coming weeks and months are jam-packed with big-name performers set to hit the stage in Belleville.

Coming up first, the Empire is hosting a pair of third party events taking place on January 31 and February 4, respectively. First, on January 31 the Empire Theatre hosts the Quinte Red Devils AAA comedy night featuring the talents of stand-up comedian Ryan Dennee. A native of Kingston, Dennee has been performing since 2006, and today is regularly featured on live radio in Kingston, on XM radio, and The Cottage Country Comedy

Festival, while also appearing in commercials and acting as the lead writer of his sketch troupe Chucky Ar La. Tickets are $20 with proceeds benefiting the QRMHA. Next, on February 4 comes the musical comedy ‘SPANK! The Fifty Shades Parody’ featuring a clever re-imagining of the characters from the bestselling book. The show premiered in 2011 and has since become a huge hit, with tour dates in over 250 cities in Canada and the U.S. Tickets for both the Quinte Red Devils comedy night and SPANK! are still available.

Next on the docket is a treat for fans of the older episodes of Saturday Night Live, as the veteran comedic trio of Rob Schneider, Chris Kattan and

Tim Meadows visit the Empire Theatre on February 7 for an evening performance.

Schneider is of course wellknown for his stable of hit Hollywood movies and characters, and comedy fans will likely remember Kattan for his memorable stint alongside Will Ferrell in the popular comedy A Night at the Roxbury.

Meanwhile, Meadows is known as one the longestserving SNL cast members of all-time, often spoofing pop culture figures like O.J. Simpson, Micheal Jackson and Tiger Woods, and today regularly appears in movies such as Mean Girls and Semi-Pro. “Rob Schneider, well I think he’s been in every Adam Sandler movie ever made,” laughed Empire Theatre pro-

moter Andy Forgie. “It’s going to be really interesting to see what they do together on stage.”

Then, on February 18 the Empire welcomes one of Canada’s most respected musical artists, Bruce Cockburn. The 13-time Juno-award winning artist will be performing solo for the first time in Belleville after performing at the Empire three times before, and Forgie was highly complimentary of the legendary songwriter.

“He’s a legend,” Forgie said. “He’s won a basket full of Junos and won every imaginable award. He’s a Canadian icon, and he’s a lot more than just folk. He’s folk, he’s jazz, he’s avant-garde. He’s just written some really memorable songs.”

Finally, to help close out the month of February, the Empire Theatre will once more host the always popular Matt Anderson on February 21. Most recently performing in Belleville at Empire Rockfest this past summer, Anderson is no stranger to the Empire stage, and Forgie said he was looking forward to yet another great performance from the blues musician.

“What can you say about Anderson. He’s a monster,” Forgie said.

“There’s nobody that can step out and command an audience like that, that I’ve ever seen. He’s bigger than life ... he’s such a nice guy but he’s so commanding.”

County announces sports, venues for 2014 Ontario ParaSport Games

Sports – Northumberland County – Brighton will be the venue for two of the eight major events that will take place when the county plays host to the 2014 Ontario ParaSport Games four months from now.

East Northumberland Secondary School is one of the locations for wheelchair basketball, along with the Cobourg Community Centre, and the municipality will also be part of the handcycling competition, with the Keeler Centre in Colborne serving as the main staging area.

Brighton and Colborne

will also be the location for training camps held for para-athletes who compete in paracycling at the national level, event organizers announced at a news conference held January 21 in Cobourg.

The training camps for paracycling as well as sitting volleyball (Cobourg) and soccer (Port Hope) were unveiled as the “surprise attractions” for the ParaSport Games, which will run from May 30 to June 1.

“We know spectators are in for some wonderful experiences at these Games,” said Paul Macklin, chair of the organizing committee that is oversee-

ing preparations for the first major sports competition ever to be held in Northumberland.

Handcycling and two other up-and-coming parasport events, blind golf and amputee golf, will make their official Games debut this year, joining the traditional parasport medal competitions in sledge hockey, wheelchair rugby, boccia, wheelchair basketball, and para-equestrian events.

“There are so many good athletes in these groups that are coming, it will be a great show,” he told the Independent later. “The whole thing is a feather in the cap (for the

county).”

Archery and power-lifting will also be represented as demonstration sports.

Macklin said his committee is “very happy” that eight “solid” sporting events will be held in Northumberland but discussions have taken place to add two more to reach “the optimum number” of 10.

However, “it’s a fairly complicated process to get someone to come” and it’s now in the hands of Sport Alliance Ontario, which determines the Games’ makeup, to decide which, if any, other competition involving athletes with disabilities will be added.

Macklin encouraged people to visit the website that’s been

set up to promote the Games, www.2014parasportgames. ca, and view videos that have been made of some of the athletes that will be competing.

“You will be inspired by what you see and hear,” he said. “The quality of the individuals just is outstanding.”

Promotions chair Don Sellar said he was “really impressed by the attitude of the parasport athletes. They don’t see themselves as having a disability, they see themselves as having different abilities.”

The county, which beat out three other communities to hold the Games, drew up an initial budget of $250,000 but Macklin said it will likely be less than that, with the help of the participating municipali-

ties who are providing support “in various forms,” such as not charging fees in some cases.

“We’re on schedule, everything’s going fine,” he said.

“We’re very pleased with the progress.”

Blair McIntosh, CEO of Sport Alliance Ontario, praised the local Games organizers for having done “an amazing job” in living up to the theme they chose for the competition: “Raising the Bar – Together.”

The “great work being undertaken by the volunteers ... will give the athletes the opportunity to compete to the best of their abilities,” he said in a news release issued by the county.

Close to 300 athletes are expected to take part in the Games, with another 60 to participate in the training

camps, Sellar said in an interview.

Having national level athletes hold their training camps in the county offers the potential for other major sporting events being staged in Northumberland.

“It’s the county’s hope that they’ll find that we have really good facilities here and will want to come back another year, and they’ll spread the word,” Sellar said. “This is the biggest sports event ever held in the county as far as we know, and we think it could lead to other sets of games down the road.”

Although no final decision has been made, Macklin said he doesn’t believe spectators will be charged admission for any of the events, except the opening night ceremony, which “certainly is going to be a fun event.”

Theatre promises mix of music, mystery, comedy BALL HOCKEY featuring JP Baldwin and Debbie Collins, on February 14 and 15, will run either side of the matinee production of Seuss and Goose. The 50 Shades show is billed as a naughty but nice cabaret, while Seuss and Goose will use puppetry to shine a light on some nursery rhymes.

The Young Company will take the stage for its first show of the season during the March break when Fairy Tale Ending: The Big Bad Family Musical comes to the theatre. August will see the Young Company perform the musical Footloose, which Vanderlip describes as “a fabulous show,” before its world premiere of the new Canadian musical Lord of the Fries, written by Jeremy Hutton and Kieren MacMillan, opens in October.

Also in October, the theatre will host a staged reading of the currently untitled Community Historical Play. Part of the script development process, the reading scheduled for October 4, will also include a question and answer session involving many of the show’s creators.

Theatre patrons also have a variety of musical evenings to choose from in 2014, which will feature a selection of some of the most memorable songs by some of the world’s best known artists. Shows include The Legendary Patsy Cline, Great Balls of Fire!, Hotel California, Abbamania, Teen Idols of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Night Fever, Frank Sinatra Tribute, Brilliantly Bacharach, Elvis and The Legend in Black.

Performances from

the golden age of country music, including Saturday Night at the Grand Ole Jamboree in June and the April arrival of the Classic Country Road Tour featuring James Ryce and Top Shelf, are expected to be crowd favourites as well, Vanderlip says.

Vanderlip also notes that multiple dates for the popular shows Forever Plaid (July) and You Give Me Fever (September) are planned this season, along with performances by Debbie Collins and Dean Hollin who will pair up for the

TRAVEL

Relaxing in Iceland’s renowned Blue Lagoon After exploring the city itself, I’d recommend taking a tour of more of this unique country via the “Golden Circle Tour” (which I’ve already written about in a previous travel article) and I’d also recommend a visit to Iceland’s nearby Blue Lagoon. After all, I believe that a visit to this renowned attraction is an integral part of any trip to this fascinating country and it’s very easy to reach. You can board a bus right at the airport that will take you there in about 20 minutes or you can make a stop on your way back to the airport before your planned departure.

I purchased my “Blue Lagoon Tour” ticket from Reykjavik Excursions (www.re.is/DayTours/BlueLagoon) while in the capital, and I was taken to the lagoon on my way to the airport (and my luggage was safely stored there while I bathed and enjoyed this facility).

I discovered that this popular lagoon is located right in the middle of a large lava field, and it’s actually filled with hot water that comes from a nearby geothermal power plant.

When the power plant was built, it was believed that the runoff water would quickly soak back into the earth, but the silica in the water forms a bottom layer on the ground and keeps it from being absorbed back into the ground fast enough.

Therefore, it was decided that this water could be utilized for a spa and bathing area, and the Blue Lagoon was ‘born’ in 1991. This large, wondrous facility holds six million litres of Steam rises off the Blue Lagoon, with lava rocks visible in the background

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - When I flew from Toronto to Iceland (via Icelandair), I landed at Keflavik airport near Reykjavik the capital.

It’s just over a five hour direct flight, and I found that this intriguing destination was definitely worth a visit.

A bus ride (via Flybus) is the most convenient way to get from the airport into the capital city (and this bus shuttle can be pre-booked from right here in Canada, via the Internet: www. re.is/flybus). As the bus wound its way toward Reykjavik, I encountered an awesome, almost ‘other worldly’ landscape of lava rock, steam rising out of the earth, and distant snowcapped mountains. When I arrived in the capital city itself, I discovered that over half the population of the entire country resided in this area (this situation reminded me somewhat of Winnipeg, Manitoba, for more than half of the population of that entire Canadian province lives in that one city, too).

While in Reykjavik, I’d certainly recommend checking out the National Museum of Iceland, for its exhibits span the period of more than 1100 years of Iceland’s history in chronological order. It’s believed that Iceland was settled by Vikings around 900 AD. I found this museum to be very informative, and it includes a hands-on section with games, costumes, and replica weapons. I’d also recommend a visit to the unique setting of Reykjavik’s beautiful City Hall on the shore of Lake Tjornin.

geothermal seawater, which is renewed every forty hours and this steamy water is loaded with minerals, including silica and sulphur and is reputed to help people suffering from certain skin problems, including psoriasis. There’s no chlorine added because common bacteria don’t thrive in this ecosystem and you’ll find the water temperature to be about 100 F/38 C, though you’ll find varying hot and cold spots as you move around.

There are different depths and areas for relaxation, including ledges for sitting and small caves for privacy.

When I entered the facility, I was given a wristband with a chip. This allowed me entrance and use of the facilities and I could even wade out to the pool’s bar and buy an expensive drink using the chip and then pay for it when I left. There was also a café and a shop with Blue Lagoon health products for sale. The chip also helped me identify my locker number after my visit so that I could retrieve my stored clothes and I found rather powerful hair dryers in the change area so that I could at least partially dry my swim trunks before repacking them and going to the airport.

Spa treatments and massages using Blue Lagoon products are available on site, and you can decide to enjoy some fine dining or even stay overnight at the nearby Blue Lagoon Clinic Hotel (just a five minute walk away).

I visited this facility in the summer season, but I imagine that it would be quite an experience in the winter, too, for I could then be bathing in this hot, healthy water while surrounded by snow!

Residents at Island Park in Campbellford celebrate Robbie Burns Day

News – Campbellford  - Addressing the haggis and paying the piper were two ceremonies that marked the celebration of Robbie Burns Day at Island Park Retirement Community last week. “We like to honour the great Scottish bard in the 1700s who fought to preserve Scottish culture and traditional Scottish language,� said Ken Marsden, who has entertained the residents at this event for years. “Robbie Burns was a musicologist and a fiddler. He was a humble plow boy who rose to be respected among the upper echelons of Scottish society,� he added, describing the famous poet from Scotland.

A musician in his own right, Marsden plays the guitar, fiddle, standup bass and Jew’s harp.

He was joined by John Mullin, a piper who brought the sound of the bagpipes to the celebration, piping in the haggis.

Both are Scottish.

Adam Low, chef at Island Park for the past eight years, had spent the morning preparing the 10 kg haggis and some shortbread for the celebration. “The secret to a good haggis is thyme

A “Red Seal� chef who has been cooking for four decades, is also Scottish.

Musician Ken Marsden, who is Scottish, led the celebration of Robbie Burns Day held at Island Park Retirement Community last week.

“In the old days the Lords of the manor would get the nice pieces of the sheep and the rest was given to staff and the poor, who being Scots and being frugal added a lot of spices and oatmeal to make it taste good,� he explained. “Robbie Burns was the greatest poet that ever lived . . . as you can tell, I am Scottish through and through,� he said with a grin.

He joined Ramsden and Mullin for the piping in of the haggis. “This haggis represents Scottish culture in a wonderful way. It represents the tenacity of the Scots,� said Marsen.

Mullin, who lives near Bancroft, and has been entertaining alongside Marsden for the past decade, has been piping for about 35 years. This was his first appearance at Island Park, much to the delight of the residents. “Today means a big celebration, that’s what Robbie Burns Day is all about,� said Mullins.

Resident Nancy McColl agreed.  “I like them music and enjoy the activities here,� she said.

When asked if she has ever eaten haggis, she said, “Oh my gosh no!�

chopped up, mixed with suet, onions, oatmeal, and seasonings, and boiled in the stomach of the sheep, is a must to eat to celebrate.

For others, not so much.

Some of the residents wrinkled their noses when asked if they would be tast-

ing the haggis that day.

Helen Rodgers, who has been living at Island Park for about one year, is among those who tried the dish.

She is Scottish and was wearing a Scotch thistle brooch to mark the occasion last week.

“My grandfather was born near Aberdeen,� she said with a big smile. “I enjoy events like this. I really like it here,� she said, admitting she has tasted haggis before. “I liked it better than I thought I would.�

Adam Low, chef at Island Park Retirement Community for the past eight years, checks the haggis he prepared. A Scotsman “through and through,� he talked about the secret to a good tasting haggis.

This ole house is getting shaky, this ole house is getting old

By John Campbell

News – Campbellford – Homeowners thinking of selling or wanting to learn more about how to maintain a house properly were given plenty of do’s and don’ts

at a recent meeting of the Probus Club of Trent Hills.

A heat recovery ventilation (HRV) system, for example, “is the most misunderstood appliance out there,” certified home

inspector Karen Cofield told about 100 Probus members and guests. Now common in new housing and major home renovations, according to Natural Resources Canada, HRV devices continuously exhaust stale indoor air containing pollutants and excess humidity and replaces it with fresh outdoor air.

“This unit is the lungs of your house,” Cofield said, changing the air inside the home every three hours. “Used properly, your house will become fit.”

However, if the humidity levels are set too high, it can result in issues with mold and mildew; dry air, on the other hand, “is extremely costly to heat,” she said.

Smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years, carbon

monoxide detectors every seven years.

Furnace filters should be changed monthly – the right way.

“You’d be surprised” at the number of people who put them in backwards, Cofield said.

She recommended learning where the main shut-offs are for water and hydro as well as the location of the sewer clean out which you will “need to know when something breaks.”

For people with electric baseboard heaters, she advised keeping the heat “even” throughout the house, rather than turn it up at certain times for different rooms.

“It will cost you more if you try to heat at the last minute than if you maintain it a proper level,”

Cofield said.

When hiring people to do repairs or renovations, make certain they’re insured because if “they get injured while they are on your property, know that they can sue you quite quickly.”

You also need to “be very careful” who you hire because “there are unscrupulous people out there,” Cofield said. “You need to protect yourself.”

Cofield said water is the “worst enemy to every home” so down spouts should shed water at least six feet away from the house, and her preference is for grass to be seeded right up to the foundation, rather than plants that require watering.

Fat should never go down the drain but put in a jar kept underneath the sink because

in cold weather, it’s “like cholesterol in the arteries, it will plug up your septic system” and cost thousands of dollars to clean out, she said.

“Half of the stuff (she finds during an house inspection) is crazy, most of them are maintenance issues,” she said.

Quite a bit involves “improper plumbing,” Cofield said after the meeting, but she’s also seen insulation that was improperly installed and floor joists cut that compromised a structure’s integrity.

Getting a house inspection done when you’re preparing to sell will tell the owner “what the issues are,” she said. You then have “the opportunity to fix it or you lower your price” so there’s “less hassle with it.”

Bank’s $10,000 donation closes gap in hospital fundraising campaign

By John Campbell

News – Campbellford – Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation has drawn closer to its goal of raising $650,000 for a digital mammography machine with a $10,000 donation by RBC Royal Bank.

“It’s no secret we’re close to Karen Cofield, who runs her own home inspection business, was the completing the campaign,” CMH guest speaker at a recent meeting of the Probus Club of Trent Hills. Foundation executive director John Photo: John Campbell Russell said.

“We’re incredibly proud to be supporting the local hospital,” said Mike Belliveau, RBC’s regional vice-president for the KawarthaLakeshore region. “As a major financial institution we have a corporate responsibility to be reinvesting in our communities ... There’s a lot of hard work happening behind the scenes in our local hospitals and they don’t always get the support that some of the bigger hospi-

tals do and it’s our responsibility to make sure that we’re looking after all the communities that we’re in.”

“We’re quite pleased, the bank has supported us over the years with many projects, including the CT (scanner),” Russell said.

The local banks “are pretty good to us.”

The donation was made through the Flourish Trent Hills Wellness campaign, a five-year fundraising

campaign organized by the hospital foundation, the CampbellfordSeymour Community Foundation, and the Municipality of Trent Hills. The foundation is using the money it collects for the purchase of hospital equipment.

The room where the still-active, 13-year-old, film-based mammography machine is located will be renovated. Preparations include Please see “Donation” on page 25

Local nursing homes, seniors’ complexes have emergency plans in place

By Sue Dickens

News – Trent Hills – Mock evacuations at nursing homes and seniors’ complexes are a regular occurrence here in Trent Hills, an exercise that is in place in case of emergencies such as the deadly fire that happened at a Quebec seniors’ home last week.

“You have to practise, the same as a hockey team would.

If you don’t practise your power play when it comes time to use your power play, you don’t have it,” said Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake.

He was responding to questions about the readiness of firefighters if a similar event were to happen here.

“Our fire prevention team is really proactive. At our meeting next week this will be one of the topics of discussion.”

The fire department takes its role of fire prevention in the community very seriously.

Campbellford Memorial Multicare Lodge, Island Park Retirement Community, Burnbrae Nursing Home and the Warkworth Community Nursing Home, are among those in Trent Hills that have active evacuation plans.

“They did a full scale evacuation on their own at Island Park mock evacuation, as if there was

a fire and they did very well,” Chief Blake commented.

The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services issued a press release in May of last year stating that Ontario was the first province to make automatic sprinklers mandatory in care homes for seniors, homes for people with disabilities, and vulnerable Ontarians.

Other improvements include self-closing doors, enhanced fire inspections and staff training and annual validation of fire safety plans by local fire services.

All licensed retirement homes and most private care facilities will have up to five years to install sprinklers.

Some care and treatment facilities, including public long-term care homes, will have an 11 year phase-in period to coincide with redevelopment plans scheduled to be completed by 2025.

“We applaud the Ontario government for taking these steps,” said Chief Blake.

Jessica Holt, manager of Multicare Lodge told the Trent Hills Independent, “We do not have sprinklers but it is something we are looking forward to putting into our building.”

“We are a low income notfor-profit building and to come up with $1/2 million to retrofit our building is the challenge that

Atom Sports - The Quinte Carpet One Red Devils had a great effort but just could not get a bounce, dropping a tough 2 1 decision to the Oshawa Generals. The Devils controlled most of the action from the second period on, but just could not capitalize on their chances. Dixon Grimes was solid between the pipes. Lucas Culhane scored the Devils’ goal.

Kingston simply won the offensive side of the puck by a margin of 3 - 1. Scoring for Quinte was Avery Cook with assists going to Maddi Wheeler and Marshall Mcfarland. Matthew Tovell was in goal and played very well.

Peewee The Belleville CrossFit Peewee Red Devils only managed to play one of three league games this past weekend as Mother Nature reared her ugly head once again.

Gaunce returns to Belleville; Bulls fall to Otters

By Steve Jessel

Sports – Belleville – When the Bellevlle Bulls hosted the Erie Otters Monday night, Bulls fans may have noticed a couple of familiar faces wearing Erie uniforms. Former Bulls forwards Brendan Gaunce and Michael Curtis played a combined 510 regular season and postseason games with the Bulls after being drafted in 2010 and 2009, respectively, and on Monday the two played their first game back in Belleville after separate trades sent them to Erie this past year.

“It was definitely different being on this side of the ice,” Gaunce said following the game, a 4-1 Erie win. “I had been here since I was 16, so it was hard to leave.”

While the hometown Bulls fans were mostly quiet to the sight of Gaunce on the ice, a few of his old jerseys could be seen sprinkled throughout the crowd during the game, and at the first intermission the Bulls played a tribute to both Gaunce and Curtis on the screen at centre ice.

“I didn’t come in expecting much, but that was very nice of them,” Gaunce, the former Bulls captain said. “It’s good that I left some sort of memories, even if they were good or bad.”

Following the game, Bulls head coach and general manager George Burnett said it wasn’t an easy choice to trade either player, but said that he wished them the best mov-

ing forward in their hockey careers.

“It’s great to see them doing well,” Burnett said. “We didn’t need to see them play well tonight, but we thought it was important to recognize the efforts of both of those guys during their four years here. Both were big parts of our franchise and will always be remembered fondly as good people and good Belleville Bulls.”

On the ice, not many people would have given the Bulls much of a chance against the high-flying Otters’ offense on Monday night, but Belleville found a spark from an unexpected place.

Recently-acquired goaltender Micheal Giugovaz was making his first home start after being brought over from Peterborough before the OHL trade deadline, and he gave fans something to be excited about with a stellar 14-save opening period. The Bulls, outshot 10-1 in the opening minutes, seemed to feed off their goaltender’s energy, and would outshoot the Otters 11-4 over the rest of the frame, but heading into the first intermission the score was still knotted at 0-0.

“I thought our compete level was strong, although the first couple minutes we were mesmerized by some puck movement,” Burnett said.

Things were definitely a bit chippy between the teams entering the second period,

and after a pair of first period fights the bad blood was spilling over into some undisciplined penalties for both sides in the second. Belleville would strike first on the powerplay when Aaron Berisha banged home his ninth goal of the season midway through the frame, but the lead was short-lived. Bulls forward Michael Cramarossa was quick to drop the gloves after a dangerous Erie bodycheck several minutes later, bur Cramarossa also picked up an instigator penalty on the play to give Erie the man advantage.

Giving the OHL’s second highest scoring offense any kind of opportunity is usually bad news for the opposition, and Erie would make Belleville pay when the Otters’ Dane Fox buried his OHLleading 52nd goal of the season not long after.

This marked the beginning of the end for the Bulls, who despite playing well above the level of their last-place OHL standing couldn’t overcome a stacked Erie lineup. Erie’s Dylan Strome added another goal before the end of the period to give the Otters a 2-1 lead heading into the third, and Erie rookie Andre Burakovsky’s 27th goal of the season was more than enough for Erie to pull out the victory. Gaunce would pick up an assist on OHL-leading scorer Connor Brown’s empty net goal in the dying seconds, and the Otters cruised to a 4-1 win.

“We showed a lot of team (chemistry) tonight, but we still have to be better at capitalizing on our opportunities,” Burnett said.

The Bulls don’t play again at home until February 8, when they host the Sarnia Sting at Yardmen Arena in Belleville.

Quinte Red Devils weekly report Continued from page 26

Devils were Cameron Supryka, Jake Campbell, and Elijah Brahaney. Assisting on the Quinte goals were Landon McLellan, Michael Andrews, Emmet Pierce, and Dalton Bancroft. Ethan Taylor was in net for the loss.

The weekend prior the team travelled to Boston where they played in five exhibition games. The team had the luxury of taking in a NCAA

hockey game at Boston College and capping off the trip was the Bruins-Kings game at the TD Gardens. The CrossFit Peewees have a light weekend coming up with only one game on the schedule, a road game in Markham Saturday night.

Minor Bantam In the only game played this weekend, the Kwik Kopy Printing Minor Bantams defeated the York Simcoe Express for the first time in the team’s history by a score of

4 - 3. Pierce Nelson had an excellent game between the pipes leading the team to victory. Dawson Baker led the team in scoring with two goals. Justin Arnold froze the opposing goaltender by finishing off a breakaway feed with a beautiful goal and Mathew Poole rounded out the scoring with the fourth goal. Assists were credited to Matt Sherwin, Brandon Grills, Nathan Dunkley, Justin Arnold, Liam Stoltz and Hunter Van Vlack.

Winter storm doesn’t freeze out the annual Polar Bear Plunge in Campbellford

Events – Campbellford – A winter storm that brought high winds and blowing snow failed to freeze out the dippers at this year’s Polar Bear Plunge as 22 brave souls jumped into the icy waters of the Trent River. “The ďŹ rst thing I thought the ďŹ rst time I did this was I couldn’t breathe for the ďŹ rst couple of seconds. And as I came out of the water, I just couldn’t breathe and then after two seconds it was like being reborn,â€? said Maurice Goulet, of the Chilly Willies.

Last year he and John Russell, executive director of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation decided to take the plunge for the ďŹ rst time.

Goulet, who is the manager of the hospital’s laboratory delighted the crowd again when he did the Penguin walk to the water’s edge before standing to face everyone and doing a freefall backwards into the Trent River.

Photos: Sue Dickens Tania Charanduk, of the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON), quite literally took the plunge at the fundraiser in Campbellford.

Doing a freefall backwards into the icy waters of the Trent River, Maurice Goulet, the lone Penguin in the team Chillie Willies, took the plunge for a good cause while ice water rescuers from Trent Hills stood by just in case their lifesaving expertise was needed.

Ice water rescuers were in the water just in case their expertise was needed. “John is stuck in Cobourg today,� Goulet said.

The storm waylaid several of the plungers.

It was so bad that multi-vehicle pileups resulted in closure of the Highway 401 near

Port Hope, Cobourg and Brighton for two days in a row.

In spite of the loss of some of the dippers, the number remained consistent with previous years. “There are so many things that are really out of your control, like the weather,� said Sharon Apted, before the event, worried that

the fundraiser wouldn’t be successful.

This was her ďŹ rst year as organizer. “Five I had signed up couldn’t make it because of weather but others showed up and said I am going to jump,â€? she added. “In fact we ended up with more than in some of the previous years.â€?

says. “We had a lot of fun. The songs are a collection of my observations about life and the people around me and how we’re all just stumbling through it. At times there is laughter and joy; at other times, pain and disappointment. “Overall, I hope this record is inspiring and relatable to my fans,� she adds.

Her fans will certainly be in Havelock when she steps on stage August 15, a day that will also include rockin’ shows

by Alan Jackson, Ambush and The Mavericks.

Making a fast exit are some of the Peterborough roller derby team. Quick on their feet they demonstrated their agility as they climbed out of the icy Trent River after taking the leap for the annual Polar Bear Plunge. The “Jamazons” included Brandy Wannamaker, Sherri Owen, Hilary Law, Jennifer Taylor, Marnie Guindon (Campbellford), Julie Caron and Jackie Turk. Hastings’ own Tanya McColl-Smith who was planning on participating suffered an injury earlier in the week and couldn’t participate.

The Ice Rangers teamed up to raise money for the hospital in the annual Polar Bear Plunge adding some good old fashioned western know-how to make the event a success. Keeping their cool are: Earl McLean, Jim McLean, Charmaine McLean, Kelly Redden and Morgan Kerber.

Sharon Apted, from left, took on the role of organizer for the first time at this year’s annual Polar Bear Plunge held in Campbellford by the Campbellford Hospital Auxiliary. Ice water rescuers Peter McMillan and Bryan Lemoire (Deputy Station Commander) of the Trent Hills Fire Department were on site with other firefighters to make sure everyone remained safe.

Money raised at the Polar Bear Plunge goes towards the purchase of a central monitoring station upgrade and portable vital signs monitor.

Total cost is about $58,000.

“We’re hoping we get enough today to put us over the top so we can give the hospital that piece of equipment,” Apted said.

The plunge was over in eight minutes as the dippers took their turns jumping in and racing back to the buses set up as warming stations.

A crowd of supporters dressed for the cold, cheered on the plungers.

No tally was available at press time.

“Unless they fire me I will probably do it again next year,” Apted said with a big grin.

Profit from this event will be directed toward Community Development Council of Quinte’s, Good Baby Box Sound and Technical Support Provide by Loyal Blues Fellowship

Art of Dying rocker shares thoughts with students before joining Ship Rocked cruise

By Bill Freeman

Entertainment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Norwood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have guitar will travel in the best of ways for Cale Gontier of the powerhouse Canadian rock band Art of Dying.

The local musician was off to Nashville for a week to hang with the band before jumping on board the 965 foot-long luxury Norwegian Pearl for the unique ocean-going Ship Rocked tour where Art of Dying and a posse of bands including Three Days Grace, Papa Roach, Five Finger Death Punch, Living Color and Seven Dust will perform on one of the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ve stages during a cruise from Miami to a private beach at Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas.

The beat-the-blizzards-ice-and-wind chill tour wraps with a concert on that beach at Great Stirrup Cay. But ďŹ rst the personable singer-guitarist dropped into the Norwood District High guitar class and jammed and talked with students.

Art of Dying has a strong following in American, where it spends a lot of time touring and Gontier, a former bass guitarist with Thornley, says fans can look forward to a new recording sometime this summer.

Gontier ďŹ rst met the band during Canadian Music Week in Toronto where â&#x20AC;&#x153;they crashed at my place.

'

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just really hit it off and became really good friends,â&#x20AC;? he said.

They were in the process of making some changes and Gontier, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been with Thornley for ďŹ ve years and was a guitar tech for Three Days Grace, joined on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took off from there (and we) started touring.â&#x20AC;?

The American tours have been fruitful and Music Junkie Press is picking Art of Dying as one of 14 bands to watch in 2014 slotting them at number nine.

Gontier says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a push to expand their reach overseas along with their growing American appeal.

He admits that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dragâ&#x20AC;? that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play more often in their home country but the reality of the scale of the American market makes it easier for bands to tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are ten times more people and ten times as many places to play,â&#x20AC;? Gontier said.

Asked if there were things that topped being on stage and rocking out in front of fans Gontier said being on the road with his friends and touring across the continent doing something

he loves is about the best thing anyone could ask for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest rush of the whole thing is playing in front of a ton of screaming people.â&#x20AC;?

That energy is hard to ďŹ nd anywhere else, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long road to get here. I think we really worked because the ďŹ ve of us are such good friends. We are a family.â&#x20AC;?

Gontier was a pretty good hockey player growing up in the Peterborough area but â&#x20AC;&#x153;music was always (his) ďŹ rst choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think music was always where I was meant to go. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been lucky to have some success. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great road to go down, a great way to make a living. My best advice would be to just work hard at it; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like anything you have to put in the hours to get good at it.â&#x20AC;?

He encouraged students interested in a career to continue studying music after high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Work hard at it and try to spend time singing and playing acoustic guitar at home. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in getting a band together do that but keep going to school.â&#x20AC;?

LIFE

Sheila Wray Gregoire Lifestyles - Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the wrong one to write a column with that title, because I was the kid who hyperventilated whenever we played soccer in gym class. I hated team sports; other people would be looking at me and relying on me.

So when I see parents in my social

Are kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sports teams worth it? circle spending most weekends on the road to sports tournaments, and forking over huge amounts of cash in the process, I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m watching a foreign movie without subtitles. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compute.

Once upon a time, of course, sports were easy. In the 1950s, my father-in-law and his friends would lace up their skates on a pond and play hockey all day. Soccer was just kicking a ball around in the local ďŹ eld.

But now everything is so regimented and expensive and complicated. And instead of being just a fun, informal thing, it becomes a Very Big Deal.

Certainly hockey is the Canadian birthright, and one shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t question it, but have you ever done the math? If you have your child in a hockey league, it can easily cost $3000 a year per child. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the hockey equipment

and the team fees, which can often be $1000. But the real kicker comes with all the travel. Driving to games, paying for hotels, paying for food and grabbing a drink while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out really adds up. Even a relatively cheap sport, like soccer, can run into several thousand if the kids have to go out of town for games. Then, to add to the indignity, the clubs spend their lives fundraising, and as a parent youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stuck selling 100 chocolate almond bars or bags of Florida oranges to everyone you work with.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the cost. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time. I see families with two or more kids on different teams, and almost every weekend theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heading out somewhere, often separately. Practices and games eat up multiple nights a week. When do you have dinner as a family? When do you do homework?

When do you just relax?

I was at a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ftieth birthday recently where a bunch of grandmas sat around the table comparing stories.

One shared about her daughter and son-in-lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule with three boys in hockey. She was ďŹ&#x201A;abbergasted at how much money they were spending (theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just racking up debt, she said), and how their lives were so chaotic.

I asked her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When do the parents get any time together alone?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? she chuckled ruefully.

Then last weekend the skies opened up and dumped so much snow on us that I can hardly see over our snowbanks.

The police warned motorists to stay off the roads. There were over 1,700 collisions in Ontario on Saturday alone. And yet I know of several local sports teams where parents drove their kids to out-of-town tournaments and all the kids showed up. Facebook was littered with, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a really stressful

The Good Earth:

The Good Earth: Odds and Sods # 1 Lifestyles - Hello, Gentle Reader. This is the ďŹ rst Odds and Sods column of the year. You might think that the dog days of winter would provide a bit of relaxation and time for contemplation resulting in a spectacularly brilliant column.

Just not so. I fear this may be more of a social column than a gardening one. I remember reading the local paper, The Kemptville Advance, as a younger person and noting little items like: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miss Betty Anne Jackson and Miss Ann McCreary motored to Ottawa this Sunday past to visit with Miss Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aunt Helen.â&#x20AC;?

Between that column and the telephone party-line system (we were two long, one short) it was rare to ďŹ nd an uninformed rural chatelaine!

O&S No 1 Fund-raising concerts This past weekend, I was privileged to participate in a fund-raising concert for an orphanage in Haiti. Our group, The Lenses, and a very, very good Brighton duo, RandR, provided the musical entertainment. The hall was full and the raised funds were satisfyingly impressive. Thanks go to everyone from Brighton and community for your support. Organiser Sharon Graham and company will deliver every penny personally to the orphanage.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a moment to remind you all of the Dave Gunning concert on February 9 in Trenton, in aid of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mental health. There are still some seats

available so please send me an email if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested. dan.clost@gmail.com Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wait while you check him out on the Internet....

O&S No2 Winter mulch I would be surprised if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already checked out the state of the trees on your estate, GR. At our workplace, we had dubbed 2013 as the Year of the Big Wind but 2014 has already put forward its challenge. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some ice storms and a few moderate snowfalls. Perhaps between the time of writing this column and the time you are reading it, there might be a signiďŹ cant accumulation of snow. This is a very good time to stroll the grounds and look for places where the snow has not piled up. Is that windswept barren part of your perennial border, the site of your rhodo collection or the entire underneath of your cedar hedge? If so, you have some work to do. The three items mentioned are those most susceptible to damage in the latter stages of winter and ďŹ rst capricious days of spring. Shallow roots will be stretched and stressed signiďŹ cantly during the freeze/thaw cycles of those days. This is the time to apply some winter mulch.

If you can ďŹ nd some conifer branches, perhaps through pruning or maybe you still have your Christmas tree propped up in a snow drift, lay them over the bare spot and cover with snow. They will provide enough shade to keep the ground frozen until the danger is past.

drive, but we made it!â&#x20AC;?

Really? Parents risked their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives in the worst weather weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had all year, with highway closures and whiteouts, just for a game? And the organizers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cancel? I can understand heading out if your job depended on it, or if it was a major life event. But perhaps weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking this too seriously.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only explanation I have. I know parents who do a great job with sports, and they love it, and the kids are thriving. It certainly can be done.

But when I look at the ďŹ nancial outlay, and the time commitment, and the fact that you have so little time at home, I just ďŹ nd it hard to think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth the cost. Maybe I should relinquish my Canadian citizenship for even daring to suggest it, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it. Am I the only one?

Leaves and straw will work equally Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a note from the Tweed and well and then be available for working District Horticultural Society. They have into the soil later on. (The caveat here a bus heading to the Canada Blooms is that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dig them in around and National Home Show, schedule cedars or rhodos lest you cause even for the opening day, Friday, March 13. greater root damage.) If none of these Prepaying (by February 12) gives you a are available you might collect up the $58 seat; idly thinking about it until that broken deciduous branches cluttering date is passed will cost you $65.

EMC Events - A midweek thaw took what little snow was on the ground, resulting in the postponement of all dog-related events at the 35th annual celebration of SnoFest, held February 1 to 3 in Marmora.

Spirits undaunted, organizers proceeded with other events, beginning on the evening of February 1 with the fourth annual Marmoraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent, which has become very popular both with performers and spectators.

Immediately prior to the start of the show, which was, as in the

B8 EMC Marmora Snofest - Thursday, January 30, 2014

past, emceed by Bruce Cook, past Chair of SnoFest, Richard Lowery, introduced Zaid Mohammed who last autumn took over that position. Mohammed spoke of recent weather related challenges resulting in changes to the plans, going on to refer to Mother Nature as being other than generous.

Guest speaker Jon McConnell, whose involvement with SnoFest began in 1981, recalled past events, such as the male beauty pageant, with participation by Goat Hill Gertie (Wally Sawkins). He spoke of the 150mile race which involved hours

of participation by 1986 who clearly enjoyed himself and expressed an interest in returning to Marmora.

McConnell commented on the role of the many volunteers from Marmora and surrounding communities, who, every year, give so generously of their time and expertise to ensure the success of this annual winter celebration.

Once the ribbon was cut

by Reeve Terry Clemens, signifying the official opening of SnoFest, it was time for the talent show to begin.

Continued from page B8

Mohammed introduced the panel of three judges: musicians David Maracle and Morley Ellis, and Sue Heath, all of whom had tough choices to make when determining the first-, second- and thirdplace winners for two groups of contestants: those 12 and under, and those over the age of 13, some who had travelled from other towns to participate. The talent was clearly evident, with some singing a capella, others accompanying themselves on guitar, some singing along to CDs, some presenting their own compositions and one group of three sisters playing violins. When the judging was complete, Macie Levere, the deJong sisters and Kayla Carmen placed first, second and third in the first category, while Mathew Rivera, Travis Whiteman and Stompin’ John Finlan took the same honours in the 13 and over category.

With no dog-related activities taking place, focus centred on the many other events which included a banquet and dance, a show and sale of handcrafts; the well attended Who’s Growing Locally which featured a wide range of products; a silent auction; breakfasts on both days of the celebration; a luncheon; a display relating to the history of SnoFest; an ice water rescue demonstration put on by members of the local fire department; a chainsaw carving demonstration; and a skating show. Even with the absence of the dogs and races, there was still plenty to fill a chilly winter weekend.

A group of spectators gathered on the shore of the Crowe River near the tennis courts on February 2 to watch as members of the Marmora and Lake Fire Department demonstrated their ice water rescue techniques, using lunge lines to pull “victims” from the frigid water. The department’s rapid deployment craft was also brought into use during the multi-stage exercise. Photo: Judy Backus

The town hall was filled on both days of the SnoFest weekend with exhibitors whose displays featured a wide variety of locally produced products from honey and garlic, to jams, meat, baked goods, cozy alpaca knits and more.

Two of the exhibitors, Elsie and Al Lafreniere of the Green Donkey Tea Room at The Black River Farm in Tweed, were on hand with a wide variety of homemade jams and jellies. Their business is to be the focus of an article in the May issue of Canadian Living. Photo: Judy Backus

OPEN YEAR ROUND EMC Marmora Snofest - Thursday, January 30, 2014 B11

A few challenges, a whole lot of fun at 2012’s SnoFest The Sno Fest Association faced many weather related arrived from points across Ontario challenges in 2012, but with a few changes in the sched- and Quebec, and again, Jamaican ule, forged ahead with the 34th annual event. Teams musher Damion Robb was on the scene, as was one participant from Minnesota.

Sprints and races, which ranged from two miles to 25, along with the very popular Little Nippers’ run, were the focus of the weekend-long winter celebration. In addition to the many races, there were a number of festival related activities such as a chainsaw carving demonstration, a snowy baseball tournament, an environmental display, a talent show, a curling bonspiel, a display and sale of arts and crafts and the list goes on. There was no excuse for boredom, as there was something going on no matter where one turned.

If hunger struck, there were breakfasts and lunches at various locations as well as at the Sno Fest banquet which was followed by the first ever Sno Fest dance held at the Community Centre on February 4. Although a few cancellations, including two weight pulls and a malamute sledding race and demonstration, had to be made, the program was a full one.

At the end of the weekend, following the final sprint and the Little Nippers’ race, many gathered in the Community Centre for the closing ceremony and the presentation of awards. The walls were decorated with pictures created by local school children who added written Three-year-old Charlee Coxwas one of 15 young mushers thoughts of Sno Fest at the bottom between the ages of three and 12, to enter the popular Little of their drawings. One said, “I love Nippers’ race in 2012. She and her dog, Prince, streaked toward sled dog races. I will race and I will the finish line, with Charlee capably applying the brakes at just win!” Another added a riddle: “What drives a person but is not a car? It’s the right time. Photo: Judy Backus

the sled dog races!”

Costumed mascots, Snowflake and Little Nipper, were on the scene as well, sitting quietly while prizes were distributed. One by one the winners headed to the front to collect trophies, cheques, and treats for both mushers and dogs. Rene Marchildon from South River, was first in the 25-mile run; Damion Robb, a member of the Jamaica team, took home the trophy for the six-mile sprint; Ken Davis, of Minnesota, won the four-mile sprint; and Charlee Cox was the Little Nipper who crossed the finish line in the least amount of time. Winner of the two-mile novice run was Taylor London of Stirling.

Each year, a dog sled, crafted by Dave Moore of Perth, is raffled off, with each of the Little Nippers having a chance to win. This year, Rebecca Young, six, was the winner of a very handsome sled which she promptly climbed aboard to assume a musher’s stance.

Race Marshal Shane Cox, who had both raced in and organized the

runs, was voted the most sportsmanlike by his fellow mushers. After receiving his trophy, Cox commented that it was nice to

be recognized, adding of the festival, that in spite of the conditions, there had been a good turnout and everyone had fun.
