Clothing depot sports new look
By Ray Yurkowski
News - Brighton – Councillors John Martinello and Mary Tadman didn’t get everything they were looking for in three motions ďŹ led with municipal council at their regular meeting on Monday night. But it wasn’t a total loss. First up was a recommendation to direct municipal staff “to develop fully referenced proposals and cost estimates for the installation of a telephone emergency notiďŹ cation system similar to PRISM (Protective Response Interactive Services Management) serving the residents of Quinte West.â€? During an emergency event, municipal ofďŹ cials can use the notiďŹ cation system to directly call residents and inform them of the situation. Given a wave of recent railway incidents involving hazardous materials on freight trains, the councillors ďŹ gured it was an idea whose time has come. “I think we all recognize that we have at least two rail lines that carry hazardous and explosive materials,â€? said Martinello. “And I think there is good evidence that says the volume being carried on those rail lines is increasing dramatically and I think we owe it to the public to ensure their safety.â€? Deputy Mayor Mike Vandertoorn and Councillor Tom Rittwage, both members of the Emergency Planning Committee, thought the idea would be better served in handing the recommendation over to that group. “There are options available other than PRISM,â€? said Rittwage. “And the experts are there ‌ the ďŹ re chief, police
Jean Finkle is the new coordinator of Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church Clothing Depot on Prince Edward Street in Brighton. The depot, which has been closed for renovations since late December, reopens Friday, February 7 at 10 a.m. Helping Finkle get the place ready have been her 12-year-old granddaughter, Lily Blair, and Jack Edmonds, one of many church volunteers who worked on the renovations.

“The OPP is pleased that more ofďŹ cers will be equipped with this valuable intermediate use of force option as an added tool for use in ensuring the safety and security of the communities the OPP serves,’ OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis said in a letter to the board. “It gives the ofďŹ cers a less-than-lethal optionâ€? when dealing with people in certain situations where force is required, Borton said. OfďŹ ces are already equipped with a handgun, baton and pepper spray.
The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services says conducted energy weapons, or CEWs, have been in use in Ontario since 2002 but until now only frontline supervisors and members of tactical units, hostage rescue teams and containment teams were permitted to carry them.

Another is the Ontario Agri-food Venture Centre. Council awarded the contract for its design and improvements within a larger building being built at Colborne’s industrial park to Aveiro Constructors Limited of Toronto. Its bid of $1.17 million was the lowest of four received. In setting the 2014 budget at its January 29 meeting, county council rejected a request for $7,000 in annual funding from Northumberland’s Safe Communities Committee to support its efforts to reduce falls, motor vehicle collisions and incidents of self-harm and interpersonal violence. Although “a very worthwhile initiative,” Moore told council it’s not the practice of county to give money to nonprofit organizations, except to provide secondary school bursaries. That’s because of the “excessive number of requests” the county has received in the past and to prevent “double dipping” by organizations that seek funding from both upper and lower tier governments. Moore noted the OPP and municipal police services are involved in the Safe Communities Committee and can approach the municipalities they serve for funding. She also pointed out that funding requests are being looked at as part of the shared services report the county’s CAO working group is preparing. Detailed information on the county’s expenditures and revenues can be found at its website, www.northumberlandcounty.ca,by searching 2014 budget.

News – Northumberland – Nothing is certain in life other than death and, in Northumberland County, a 2.5 per cent increase in the tax levy. For the fourth year in a row as part of a 10-year financial plan, the county has approved a budget that raises the total amount of taxes it collects by 2.5 per cent. For the average home in Northumberland, which increased in value from $224,750 in 2013 to $227,500 this year, its tax bill for county services will go up $16 to $1,069. (Municipalities and school boards set their own tax rates). The largest portion of the $46.6 million levy will go toward roads (32 per cent). The next three are social services (23 per cent), paramedics (12 per cent) and waste (10 per cent). The levy covers almost half, 48 per cent, of the $98.5 million Northumberland will spend this year to maintain programs and services ($81.5 million) and invest in capital projects ($17.2 million) as well as repay debt and draw from reserves. The balance of the money it requires is raised through grants, subsidies, gas tax funding, rent, tipping fees, sale of recyclable materials, and provincial offences fines. Major projects include an upgrade to the container line at the material recovery facility, which will “introduce some efficiencies in the operation, maximize our revenues and minimize what goes into landfill,” director of finance and treasurer Jennifer Moore told council.
Councillors concerned with public safety “Passing a bylaw may well shut off the fuel deliveries to that station and put them out of business,” Councillor Craig Kerr reminded council. “We need to explore other measures before we go forward with the heavy weight of a bylaw.” “We need to talk to them first,” added Rittwage. “I understand we owe some duty to the businesses that operate here,” said Martinello. “I think we owe a greater duty to safety of the citizens that live here.” The motion was withdrawn and council approved directing municipal staff to contact the owner, operator and supplier of the business to investigate alternate measures. The third proposal concerned the reconstruction of Terry Fox Drive, closed to southbound traffic since October. The councillors were asking municipal staff “to produce a publicly available, weekby-week timetable of milestone completion for the project” by the end of the month. Calling it “a safety hazard,” Martinello and Tadman say they “have received numerous complaints.” “Could we have done anything any faster?” wondered Rittwage. “I don’t think so,” said public works director Andrew Drzewiecki. “The expedition of this project was fairly diligent. It was a sudden issue when we discovered there is a problem.” It turns out the entire project was bogged down by the municipal process. A site investigation was conducted with a CCTV (closed-circuit television) camera; council had to approve the project; it was advertised; a request for proposal was issued for a design-build situation; the project was designed and reviewed;
and the pre-cast elements have been ordered. Delivery is expected next week and construction is scheduled to begin by mid-February. “I would expect, when construction starts, everyone will have a pretty good visual of the progress of that project,” said Vandertoorn. “There will be lots of notification out there on how things are moving forward.”
That’s when Drzewiecki asked a favour from the members of council. “I’ve heard there are numerous complaints about Terry Fox Drive,” he said. “I haven’t received any since we closed the southbound lane. If you receive any complaints or inquiries, please direct them to me. I will be able to address them as per our complaints handling policy.”

times by RCMP officers with a stun gun at Vancouver International Airport. But an expert panel report on the health effects of CEWs released last October by the Council of Canadian Academies in collaboration with the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences “determined that, while potentially fatal respiratory and cardiac complications are plausible if a number of factors are in place, their occurrence is rare.” Community Safety and Correctional Services Minister Madeleine Meilleur has said the decision to expand the deployment of CEWs “was made after carefully considering both peer-reviewed medical research and coroners’ inquest findings. Our police officers are trained to use de-escalation first whenever possible, but when that approach does not work, we need to equip our officers with another tool. Expanded conducted energy weapon deployment will help protect Ontarians and keep our communities safe.” The ministry said CEW use “will be reported in an open and transparent manner, including when a CEW is displayed with the intention to achieve behaviour compliance,” and instruction in use of the weapon has been enhanced to include “training for interactions with people with mental health issues.”
Mayor Mark Walas had the last word. “Since the report is requested for the end of February and the work is to commence in 15 days, I guess I’m missing something,” he said. In a recorded vote, the motion was defeated with Walas, Vandertoorn, Kerr, Rittwage and Councillor Emily Rowley opposed.

and Emergency Management Ontario. The key is to do it right.” “It makes the most sense,” added Vandertoorn. “The resources there are very valuable and this will not be new to most of them. We can probably save ourselves a lot of time by going that route.” Council approved referring the plan to the Emergency Planning Committee. Next was a recommendation to enact a bylaw prohibiting the parking of tank trucks “on any street or sidewalk in Brighton” for the purposes of offloading gasoline to fuel stations. “This one really concerns me,” said Tadman. “I’ve actually witnessed a few close calls. No truck should be on the sidewalk or offloading from the road, it just causes too many problems.” Rittwage wondered about trucks delivering fuel to homes on Bayshore Road. “There is nowhere for them to park except in the road,” he said. “This is more encompassing than just one corner. Where does it end? Do we look at FedEx and UPS deliveries when they double park in the middle of the street when they’re running into a store?” “I’m not looking to target the (Prince Edward and Elizabeth Streets) corner gas station but it seems to happen there a lot,” said Martinello. “And I’ve seen a lot of wacky maneuvers as cars try to get around the large tank truck.” “The only thing I’m not reading in this motion is the specific address,” said Vandertoorn. “To centre out one individual business without having any consultation prior to this motion coming forward is wrong.”

Lacking assurance of funding, Child Development Centre sends out termination notices to staff land County’s decision to hand over the contract for Special Needs Resourcing services, its largest program, to Five Counties Children’s Centre. But NCDC, which employs 26 people, might have to cease operations altogether, because “we have no assurance of funding past March 31” for other services it provides the com-
munity, Paterson said. They include the infant and child development program that is “drastically underfunded” by the province. “We have been trying to address the issue with the government,” Paterson said. The agency plans to mount an intensive public awareness campaign to draw attention to

News – Northumberland The entire staff at the Northumberland Child Development Centre have been served notice their jobs will be terminated in two months, says its executive director. Eight positions will definitely be eliminated, NCDC executive director Clare Paterson said, because of Northumber-
the change in government policy that has resulted in a “bureaucratic funding mess” that threatens the continuation of services to hundreds of infants and children at risk. The centre’s board of directors has also said it will take “any action necessary,” even legal action, to assert its interests in its dispute with the county over losing the contract to provide special needs resourcing services that it’s held for 15 years, she said. There were “so many issues involved” with the selection process. Five Counties Children’s Centre CEO Diane Pick said her agency will be adding eight to 10 people to its staff, about five of them resource teachers. They will work with child care centres to “maximize the benefit” children with special needs will receive in a “social and learning environment.” Pick said “this is going to be a difficult change” for parents to go through but Five Counties will do its best to make sure the transition is “smooth and minimizes the disruption for the families.” Five Counties already provides a variety of services to 850 families in Northumberland. Michelle Higginson, a par-
ent, told council she disagreed with its decision at the January 29 meeting. “We were getting quality service from NCDC,” she said.
“My son has come so far that I can actually bring him out in public now ... (and) kiss him without (him) screaming and running away.” If it had not been for the help it provided her three-yearold son, “I don’t know where my family would be today,” she told council. “My son has come so far that I can actually bring him out in public now ... (and) kiss him without (him) screaming and running away.” Higginson said, “it just seems like county council is doing everything possible to destroy NCDC,” a statement that drew applause from audience members. In an interview afterward, the Cramahe Township resident explained her only child has a sensory processing disorder and impulse control issues,
and she and her husband Todd were taught techniques to deal with his condition. “Our family was in a crisis situation and Hannah (SunReid, their worker) helped us out of that crisis,” she said. “She’s like an angel.” Lynne Stoltz was another parent who attended the council meeting. “I really wanted them to see my kids that they’re hurting,” she said. The mother of three didn’t address council members but said in a later interview the help her young children has received from NCDC in her Hastings’ home has been “immeasurable.” Stoltz also benefitted from programs for parents the centre has provided in the community. “All the parents are saying we get great service,” she said. “I just don’t understand destroying something that was so good.” Requiring Special Needs Resourcing services to be provided in licenced child care rather than in the home doesn’t make sense, she said. “Some people can’t afford it,” she said, while some mothers, like herself, stay at home to raise a family so “why would you put your kid in day care?”

Clothing depot sports new look as it returns to its roots Also in the works is a program to pick up items if a person isn’t able to drop them off when the depot is open. Working with very little capital, a team of volunteers painted the ceiling and walls, and installed new flooring in the 1,800-square-foot space. The lighting was improved as well, to save energy and to make the area brighter. Changes to the layout will provide for wider aisles, to make them easier to navigate in wheelchairs. It needed a facelift “and we wanted a new start,� Finkle said. “It was a garbage pit.� Clothing and accessories will continue to be sold at hugely discounted prices to members of the public but “people who are in dire straits� or have been burned out of their homes will be given what they need, upon approval, at no charge, she said. Finkle said her “heart goes out to the working poor.� They’re “working hard ... (but) they’re struggling.� She organized a “rally the troops� session last Friday afternoon to sign up former and new volunteers to staff the depot with its expanded hours. Those who didn’t but wish to help can still do so by calling her at 613-4398869. Finkle is also looking for two assistants to give her a hand. Edmonds said “it’s just unbelievable� how generous the community is with its donations. Revenue earned at the depot is distributed to eight churches and five schools in the area, as well as dozens of local organizations that are registered charities. They include Three Oaks Women’s Shelter, Northumberland Services for Women, Camp Trillium, Big Sisters, Brighton food bank, Relay for Life, Proctor House SOHO, and Northumberland SPCA.  Karen Martin, another volunteer, said the depot contributed in excess of $100,000 to more than

30 organizations in eight years she looked back on but she’s “confident� the actual figure is higher than her “rough� estimate. “The numbers are a testament to the hard work done by many volunteers since the sixties,� she said in an email. Finkle said the “new and improved� depot will have a “boutique� flavour that includes “affordable� upscale fashions, such as evening gowns and prom dresses, that can be worn for
special occasions or to “dress for success� for as little as 10 dollars. “It’s going to be a fun ... upbeat place,� she said.

McLaren and his wife, and Lucy Scott – “to honour what they started, (which) was a wonderful thing,� Finkle said. “The need just keeps getting bigger and bigger.�
Council supports resolution to reduce Hydro rates By Kate Everson
News - Quinte West - Council has endorsed a resolution from Mayor Hector Macmillan of Trent Hills to request a full investigation of Hydro One to bring Ontario’s electricity back in line with our economic status. “Elderly people on fixed incomes and taxpayers are hit by rising Hydro rates,� commented Councillor Doug Whitney. “Why are we paying for buy-outs?� Bob Wannamaker added that British Columbia rates are up 28 per cent too. Mayor John Williams noted that propane is up 60 per cent. Mayor Macmillan has written to the Ombudsman of Ontario in Toronto.
“I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the dreadful financial mismanagement, perceived ridiculous compensation of senior management including severances and bonuses, the rising cost of electricity and delivery of same to Ontarians, and the newest announcement from Minister Chiarelli that electricity costs will rise in Ontario some 40 per cent over the next five years,� he writes. Macmillan said Hydro and healthcare should be supplemented by the Ontario government to make them affordable.
“I can tell you with the greatest confidence that seniors, the working poor, businesses and industry will fall by the thousands in Ontario under such a massive burden,� he says. “I also understand the current system of global adjustments of electricity costs are already crippling business and industry in Ontario.� His resolution from council is to have a full investi-

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brighton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After being closed since late December for renovations, Trinity-St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church Clothing Depot will re-open Friday â&#x20AC;&#x153;bigger and better than ever,â&#x20AC;? says its new coordinator. The depotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hours are being expanded from two days a week to five, Tuesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the merchandise it sells will be strictly clothing and accessories, Jean Finkle said. The depot is going back to its grassroots â&#x20AC;&#x153;to focus on clothing,â&#x20AC;? which is â&#x20AC;&#x153;how it started offâ&#x20AC;? nearly 50 years ago, she said, and it will no longer accept donations of toys, electrical appliances and other non-apparel. People wishing to donate clothes will also be asked to deliver them during the new hours of operation when volunteers will be present to sort through them, to determine what has to be washed or mended before being placed on the racks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be no more drop-offs where you have bags piled up on the side here,â&#x20AC;? Finkle said. It had become a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dumping groundâ&#x20AC;? of goods that were either junk or of a design or age that made them unsalable, such as toys and sporting equipment that were obsolete and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comply with current safety standards. Otherwise, â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be liableâ&#x20AC;? if something were to happen in their use, said Jack Edmonds, a member of the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building committee that took on the task of renovating the depot located in the Christian Service Centre. He said the problem of articles being dropped off by some people wanting to avoid having to pay for their disposal at the landfill has been a problem for several years. To put an end to unwanted materials being deposited outside the depot, a sign was posted on the side of the building last week saying there is to be no dumping, and that violators can be fined up to $5,000 under a Northumberland County bylaw.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Corruption and the economy that includes tax havens, paper companies, anonymous accounts and fake foundations, with the city of London (UK) at the very heart of it. Over 30 per cent of global foreign direct investment is booked through tax havens, which now collectively hide one sixth of the world’s total private wealth.” With all the government spying going on, you may think governments would know who to charge over these lost billions. One of the eye-openers for me was the following; “London has maintained a number of quaint plutocratic traditions. Take its electoral process, more than seventy percent of the votes

Dear Editor, Mr. Larocque, your letter of January 23 seemed to border on being mean-spirited and an affront to the Bonisteel family. There are many unsung heroes, and dedicated selfless citizens everywhere. Are we not all guilty of procrastination and indifference about honouring them? Roy Bonisteel had a talent for chronicling the times in which he lived for future historians, journalists and Canadians everywhere. During his 83 years, he gave laughter, happy memories, pleasant entertainment and help to thousands. After his retirement he carried on with projects for family, community and country. Above all he cherished good old-fashioned Canadian traditions. One of his projects, for which my family and I will be forever grateful, is the caring and beautiful restoration of a little church

were supported by a steady flow of western aid. This raises an interesting question; which is more corrupt, the petty dictatorship or the superpower that installs it? At the lower level of corruption those officials taking the bribes have to have someone with money and clout giving it to them. When the grease does rise to the sur-
face, as in SNC Lavalin, JP Morgan and the rest, fines may be paid but no one goes to jail. The CEO of JP Morgan gets a multi-million dollar bonus after the company paid $20 billion dollars in fines!

News – Cramahe Township – Deputy-mayor Jim Williams, the township’s elder statesman, will ask the voters to return him to office next fall as the number two man on council for a third straight term. Council has been “very effective” this term and last and “I’ve enjoyed working” with the other members, Williams said. “We accomplished quite a bit and I would like to accomplish more.” Further development of Colborne’s industrial park on the north side of Purdy Road is on his to-do list, to reduce the burden on residential property-owners. Northumberland County is in the process of establishing a 15,000-square-foot Ontario Agri-food Venture Centre in a leased facility being built by Real-Flex
Business Parks, but it could be joined by two other projects. One is a proposal for a waste and recycling plant that is currently undergoing an environmental assessment. It’s close to being completed, and if everything is in order, a site plan will be submitted for approval followed by construction. “At the same time we have an interest in the development of a medical marijuana plant,” Williams said. The proponent, who came to council in December, has submitted a plan to the federal government. “This is just at the early stage now,” he said. “There are a lot of details (to work out), of course.” Williams would also like to continue working on the green energy plan the municipality must submit to the province by July 1 and put

into effect over the next five years to cut down on energy usage. “We are presently working on that,” he said, and pointed to the long-term contract the township entered into with RealTerm Energy to replace more than 330 high sodium pressure and mercury vapour light fixtures with the LED kind as the first step. The newer lights, which consume less electricity and are much cheaper to maintain, are expected to save Cramahe $426,800 over 15 years. “We have four or five projects that will be included in this plan,” Williams said. He’s also been involved in shaping an official plan and a waste management master plan for Northumberland County. Williams, who spent 36 years in the field of education as a secondary school teacher, principal and administrator before his retirement, was first elected in 1992. He served as councillor and then as deputy reeve of Cramahe Township before it amalgamated with Colborne. From 2001 to 2003 he headed the first council of the two united municipalities but was defeated in the mayoralty race in the following election.

Dear Editor, One of the best articles I have read on corruption and poverty is “Flipping the corruption myth” by Dr. Jason Hickel of the London School of Economics. The World Bank blames bribery and theft by government officials for between $20 billion and $40 billion stolen each year from the people of the developing countries. Dr. Hickel compares this three per cent of the total illicit flows from public coffers, with the $9 hundred billion which multi-national companies steal through tax evasion, transfer pricing etc. “This enormous flow of wealth is facilitated by a shadowy financial system
Connected to your community OPINION What’s in a name? Greenland’s race for modernity By Terry Bush
Editorial – Greenland has the highest suicide rate in the world: one in five Greenlanders tries to commit suicide at some point in their lives. Everybody in Greenland (all 56,000 of them) knows this. In fact, everybody knows quite a few people who have tried to commit suicide, and one or two who succeeded. So it is really a good idea to subject this population to an experiment in high-speed cultural and economic change? Greenland is not fully independent: Denmark still controls its defence and foreign affairs, and subsidises the population at the annual rate of about $10,000 Gwynne Dyer per person. But Greenlanders are one of the few aboriginal societies on the planet that is dominant (almost 90 per cent of the population) on a large territory: the world’s biggest island. And it is heading for independence. So the debate in this soon-to-be country is about what to aim for. Do you go on trying to preserve what is left of the old Arctic hunting and fishing culture, although it’s already so damaged and discouraged that it has the highest suicide rate on the planet? Or do you put the pedal to the metal and seek salvation in full modernization through high-speed economic growth while keeping your language and what you can of your culture? What’s remarkable about Greenlandic politics is how aware the players are of their dilemma and their options. “If you want to become rich, it comes at a price,” says Aqqaluk Lynge, one of the founders of the Inuit Ataqatigiit (Community of the People) party that ran the government until recently. Lynge doesn’t want to pay that price, and under the Inuit Ataqatigiit administration all mining was banned in Greenland. Quite apart from the environmental costs of large-scale mining operations, Lynge said, the many thousands of foreign workers they would bring in would have a devastating impact on what is already a very fragile Greenlandic culture. But the Siumut (Forward) party won last October’s election, and new Prime Minister Aleqa Hammond sees things
very differently. Essentially, she thinks modernisation has gone too far to turn back now. Better to gamble on solving the current huge social problems (like suicide) by enabling everybody to live fully modern, prosperous lives. If you’re no longer marginalised and poverty-stricken, you’ll feel better about yourself. With this in mind, she has issued more than 120 licenses for mining and petrochemical projects including a huge opencast iron-ore mine that would ship 15 million tonnes of highgrade iron concentrate a year (mostly to China), drilling platforms for offshore oil and gas exploration, and even mines to produce uranium and rare earths. She has made her choice, and she understands it. In a recent interview with The Guardian while she was visiting Norway, Aleqa Hammond said: “The shock will be profound. But we have faced colonisation, epidemics and modernisation before. The decisions we are making (to open the country up to mining and oil exploitation) will have enormous impact on lifestyles and our indigenous culture. But we always come out on top. We are vulnerable, but we know how to adapt.” Brave words, but few Greenlanders have the technical and managerial skills to get senior jobs in these high-risk, highcost enterprises ($2.5 billion for the iron ore mine alone), and most of them will not want the hard, dirty, dangerous jobs of the workers in the mines and on the rigs. If all goes well, they will no longer depend on the Danish subsidies that currently keep their society afloat, but they will just be shifting to a different source of subsidies. To the extent that a sense of cultural marginalisation and defeat, and a life without meaningful work, is responsible for the Greenlanders’ problems, it’s hard to see how more money from a different source will help. Or how adding a few tens of thousands of foreign workers from places like China to the social mix will help, either. Aleqa Hammond is damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t: leaving the people in their current predicament is not a good choice, but going flat out for modernisation doesn’t feel like such a good option either. It would be a good time to call in the cultural engineers, if such a profession existed.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Ready for Senate reform Mr. Harper? Dear Editor, Bravo Mr. Trudeau. What a great and immediate beginning to Senate reform. It could not have been an easy decision and it certainly involves much more than creating an Independent group of senators able to form their own opinions. Free of party influence, they will make decisions on legislation without “prodding” and “guidance” from the governing party, which has been so severely abused by the Conservative government. These Independent Senators will no longer fund raise or organize campaigns for the Liberal Party and though this will no doubt have an impact on Liberal funding, it shows the importance the Liberal Party has placed on the Red Chamber fulfilling its role as the chamber of sober second thought rather than a room filled with party hacks whose only role is to rubber stamp Conservative legislation, no matter their own ethical and moral misgivings. Would Senators Duffy, Wallin and others, have found themselves in their current messy situation had they not been permitted to schlep across the country fund raising for the Conservative government to raise immeasurable amounts of cash for the party that had no problem whatever kicking them to the curb when times got tough. I very much doubt it. Perhaps their time would have been better spent doing the job
they were hired to do with taxpayer dollars. If elected, Mr. Trudeau has promised that all future senators will be chosen by an independent body, from the best minds and talents this country has to offer. There is certainly no downside to that! Prime Minister Harper may stand in parliament and make light of what just happened, but it was no small event. One can only imagine what might have happened to those monstrous Omnibus Bills had senators time to peruse them before they were shoved through the senate. The man who promised senate reform and to never appoint a single senator, has added 57 plus two; more than any Prime Minister in history. Mr. Harper and Pierre Polievre make light of Mr. Trudeau’s decision because they fear having to follow his lead and lose control of the senate, which they now use so irresponsibly. However, if as he said in parliament, the Prime Minister thinks Mr. Trudeau’s decision really is such a small matter, why not join him and make all his senators independents? After eight years of talk and no action and threatening to send us into another decade or more of constitutional battle, he now has an opportunity to do something concrete. Will he? Not on your life. Denyse Mouck Stirling
Editorial - Many of us enjoy a good heart-warming story. Others prefer something a little more twisted so they actively seek out weird news each week to help offset all the death and destruction they see while watching television. Sometimes, it takes a little digging and other times all you have to do is pull up the Toronto Sun website, hit news and when you see the drop down menu, it’s as simple as hitting the word “weird”. Last week, bringing up the rear after such inspiring headlines as, George Zimmerman wants to be a celebrity boxer, Heroin Happy Meal and Child steals grandma’s car after learning to drive through video games, was this nugget, Ohio woman wants to change her name to Sexy. Right away, you just know something has to be wrong with this woman. Maybe it’s an over-abundance of confidence. Maybe she thinks a name change will give her confidence. Maybe she’s the type of person who has no mirrors in her home. Maybe she’s sexy as all get out. In that case, she really wouldn’t need to change her name at all because whomever she passed on the street would just call out, “Ooooh, Sexy.” Why spend good money when all you have to do is saunter by? Judging by their attire, a lot of folks seem to want to convince us they’re something we can’t see for ourselves. I notice people all the time wearing sweat pants that say “sexy” across the area where they sit. I don’t always agree with their statements but then again I don’t know them personally so they could indeed be sexy on the inside or on the side I’m not looking at. Sometimes their t-shirts have the word “Cute” written on the front. If you think you’re cute and want to proclaim it to the world, who am I or anyone else to judge you just because we don’t happen to agree. In the case of the Ohio woman, she hates her given name so much, she’s loath to give it out; it’s that ugly. Her daughter is quoted in the Columbus Dispatch as saying her mother will ground her if she ever says it out loud. And what on earth could this hideous name be? Hold onto your hats. It’s Sheila Crabtree from Licking, Ohio. Personally, I’m of the belief that Sheila is the least problematic of the two names she’s saddled with and where she’s from might also be cause for some concern. Can you imagine being introduced to her for the first time after her proposed name change. “Hi, I’m Terry from Stirling and you are ... I don’t think our friend Sheila has really thought this through. What’s the problem with the name Sheila? Ten million Australian men don’t have a problem with the moniker other than maybe getting their many Sheilas mixed up at times. With a Crabtree at the end, no worries, mate. Our Sheila is certainly pragmatic. She wants the name Sexy because she wears Victoria’s Secret undergarments but if that name, Sexy Crabtree, isn’t a starter then she’ll settle for Sparkle instead. One would think as a newspaper editor, I’d be in the know about such trends as far as names go, but I don’t think I’ve ever run into anyone named Sparkle or Sexy. After years of dealing with whatever name is popular on the soaps at any given time, I almost think it’s time to revert to the names we grew up with when I was younger. Back then, we had a roving group of troublemakers on our street and my own grandmother was one of the ringleaders. You’d see them walking down the road, sporting their red and white gang colours, trademark Canada Day umbrella hats adorning their heads. Ada, Myrtle and Mabel strolling along with such broad smiles on their faces, you just knew you should give way to them and step off the sidewalk if you saw them coming. They had trouble written all over them and probably the same Playboy Playmate bunny logos just above their bikini lines that are so common today. They felt no need to change their names to something ridiculous, they were who they were … ruffian quilters and they didn’t care who knew it. I’m glad I was on the good side of them, that’s all I can say. If I wasn’t, I probably would have had to deal with their friend Gladys who lived just down the road. There was evil lurking just below that very friendly exterior I’m sure. As the owner of a given name that has somehow become obsolete to today’s parents, I’m quite concerned that I’ll never come back into style as we cycle between new and old. Same thing goes for my great aunt’s name. Now there was a name that would have made a lot more sense than the word “Sexy” written across the back of a pair of sweatpants and nobody would ever second guess it. What’s wrong with calling your daughter Fanny nowadays anyway.

Students entering the world of science on many levels from their desk what is the most appropriate,” whether it’s a video, a reading, or an activity. “There’s a lot of resources in one place so you can find what you need without having to go search through the whole Internet ... That does make it easier.”

News – Northumberland – Kindergarten to Grade 8 students in two local schools are learning all about science with the help of a web-based teaching tool that integrates audio, video, text and images. Last fall Brighton and Kent public schools were the latest to join a pilot program initiated by the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board to introduce the K-8 Science Techbook into the classroom. “We were the first school board in Canada to pilot (use of the techbook),” said KPR communications officer Judy Malfara. Developed by Discovery Education, a division of the world’s leading nonfiction media company that includes the Discovery channel, the techbook enables students “to read, write and think like scientists and historians,” and saves teachers time in preparing lessons and providing instruction, says the company. “It’s fantastic ... two thumbs up, absolutely,” said Brighton Public School vice-principal Alexandra Elassal. She explained the techbook “can be used as a whole class teaching tool,” in conjunction with a smart board. The school’s 48 teachers use it to lead the way in interactive lessons that engage
the students, who follow along on net books the school makes available to each class, from a total of 48 devices. “It helps them help the kids,” Elassal said. “It’s another resource and it’s 10 times better than any textbook.” School principal Mary-Beth Zeggil said students can pull information on their own from a website they can also access at home that offers up-to-date information linked to the curriculum. “We’re testing it out ... working through the little kinks here and there,” Elassal said, “but on the whole it’s been highly successful, teachers really like it.” And “anything that engages the kids is going to bring with it academic performance improvements.” Zeggil said the new digital resource ties in with one of the school’s goals, to give students the tools and knowledge “to be 21st century learners, thinkers” using advanced technology. “It’s very much in line with how they’re going to be accessing information, collecting data and presenting as they move through school,” she said. The cost is $8 per year per child, Malfara said. “It’s very, very affordable.” Samantha Mills, a Grade 3 teacher at Kent, said “the nice thing” for teachers is they can search by curriculum all the resources that are available and “choose
Children in the younger grades “get to see the content in different modalities and the older kids get to delve into a topic a little bit more that they’re interested in,” Mills said. The techbook is “a great resource” in helping teacher focus on “inquiry-
based learning,” Mills added, which is “making a difference in their learning because they’re taking ownership over it a little more instead of us always leading.” Students with questions, she said, can look for the answers on their own.

Child development centre says county forcing it out of business By John Campbell
News – Northumberland – Northumberland Child Development Centre (NCDC) has accused the county of trying “to drive (it) out business” by not renewing its contract to provide Special Needs Resourcing services. NCDC executive director Clare Paterson levelled the charge before and after county council voted unanimously January 29 to give the contract to Five Counties Children’s Centre on the recommendation of staff. Paterson upset county council members in advance of their meeting with statements she made a day earlier through a news wire service in which she slammed the county and the provincial
government for acting in a “secretive, callous (and), quite frankly, outrageous” manner. She further berated the county for trying to “silence us forever” with its “sneaky and dishonest move.” She also took Premier Kathleen Wynne and her government to task for “allowing local political leaders to pursue a narrow political agenda aimed at killing off NCDC.” Paterson warned the loss of funding “will result in the end of NCDC” and with it other services the agency provides “that so many people in our community depend on to survive” – families, youth, the unemployed and the disadvantaged. Warden Linda Thompson said the childhood development centre “has

provided excellent care for many years,” but “the province has dictated change” in the way programming is to be delivered to children with special needs. It’s to be done through licenced child care and approved recreation programs, rather than home visits, “to ensure (their) inclusion.” After the vote, Thompson read from a prepared statement in response to Paterson’s attack, saying she found it “reprehensible that there are organizations that would create unnecessary panic among the children and families of our communities in order to further their own ends.” Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan said it was “shameful that anyone in a leadership position would mislead” the public and he defended the county for following guidelines set by the province while “also protecting taxpayers’ money.” refreshed and rejuvenated Thompson said the centre “was facial treatments relaxational massage manicures & pedicures

the author of its own demise,” in part, by choosing to cut staff who work with the children, rather than those in administration. But Paterson subsequently denied this, saying “downsizing administration was the very first step we took” in eliminating two full-time administrative positions in addition to two front-line jobs. Lesley Patterson, the county’s manager of children’s services, said “there was some reduction in management but not significant” and a consultant recommendation “to move the resources around to more people and families ... wasn’t done.” Five Counties, based in Peterborough, was awarded the contract following a review of its three-year service and financial plan by a panel of staff members and external experts that scored its submission higher than NCDC’s. It looked at nine criteria, including service delivery, enhanced staffing support and human resource strategy. Cost was another factor. Five Counties’ proposed budget for 2015, when it will be fully in place as the
service provider, is $852,000. Last year the county’s budget for Special Needs Resourcing (SNR) funding was $1.3 million from the province before the government began making cutbacks. Thompson and Cobourg Mayor Gil Brocanier said the county had provided the childhood development centre with a consultant to help it develop a submission that met provincial guidelines. “Unfortunately the NCDC did not quite follow through” on the recommendations that were made, Brocanier said. “As a result of that we had to look for where we could get the best service.” Mark Darroch, director of community and social services, said the transition will take “almost several months to make sure that there is no interruption of services to the children.” In the next few weeks Five Counties will be sending out letters and making phone calls to the parents of about 400 children; open houses will also be held to explain the changes taking place. Services families currently receive will continue through the transition, county officials said.

laughs, but can throw fellow actors off when doing live theatre. Only Conway could park illegally and, five minutes later, come out to find police, with guns drawn, ordering him to lie down on the pavement. What’s So Funny takes you from his childhood to being a happy father of seven and grandfather of two. It also leads you from show to show and award to award. On one occasion, Conway sent out invitations to his upcoming birthday party, but when his family, friends and fellow actors showed up, Tim was nowhere to be found. Everyone had a good time and later went home. When they called the next day to find out why he hadn’t shown up at his own birthday party, he simply stated that he hadn’t received an invitation. Conway tells how some of his funniest skits came from real life events. After suffering a broken back in a football game, he was forced to take only tiny steps, and this led to his shuffle. When he learned a dentist had accidentally jabbed himself with a needle loaded with Novocaine, Tim came up with the inept dentist that constantly broke up Harvey Korman. Most of us know Tim Conway as a gifted comedian, but few know he graduated from Bowling Green State University and served time in the U.S. Army. In conclusion, I’m going to quote directly from Tim’s last pages of his autobiography: “Imagine for a moment that you are a member of a jury and I

Councillor responds to controversy By Ray Yurkowski
News - Brighton – At their regular meeting on Monday night, municipal council not only approved an open letter addressed to the group but also invited the author to address them at a future session. The correspondence, penned by Alexander Waddling, executive director of ‘Ride For A Dream’, a non-profit campaign seeking to end violence against women, was in response to a local firestorm unleashed over a comment made by Councillor Craig Kerr during question pe-
riod at the conclusion of a council meeting on November 18. “I will say that this question is really posed in the same vein as, ‘have you stopped beating your wife?’” said Kerr, in reply to a question posed by resident. “The comment that was made … is an old idiom in response to when someone is asking a loaded question, and perhaps at one point was seen as being acceptable or common,” wrote Waddling. “It effectively made light of a situation many women find themselves in, and in doing so,
reduced their trauma to an anecdote.” “In light of what has happened since the last meeting (on January 20), I do want to address this issue,” said Kerr, on Monday night. “Unfortunately, the matter didn’t end there. There have been numerous Twitterings, bloggings, Facebookings, letters to the editor, coffee shop condemnations and the enlisting of a national organization that advocates against violence toward women.” “Tonight I learned there is a
petition circulating in the community in regard to myself and this matter,” he added. “The first of these communications has been an attempt to portray me as a person who supports violence against women, who makes jokes about violence against women, who makes inappropriate use of the law, who scurried away to hide from giving an apology, to being disrespectful of citizens at large, of being insensitive to women’s issues, and a person who is an appropriate target for the women of this community to rise up against.” Kerr maintains, before the January 20 council meeting,
the only request for an apology “came in a cryptic email on December 14,” one month after the original incident. “For the record, I have never refused to make an apology as has been alleged,” he said. “All of these events have added up to a very carefully orchestrated campaign that is designed to damage my reputation and standing in this community. And it’s clear to me that I have been damaged by this reckless, over-the-top campaign. Resolution is going to be complicated and it may well be dealt with at another time and in another forum.” Kerr recalled a long tele-
phone conversation with Waddling, which ended with a commitment to convey some of the Ride For A Dream ideology at the council meeting. “I will say, sincerely, that my impromptu remark in response to a loaded question inadvertently trivialized a very important issue: violence against women and I very much regret that fact,” said Kerr. “If you wish to understand the context and the reasoning behind why so many have taken issue with this, I would be happy to find an occasion to sit down with you and discuss it further,” concluded Waddling in his letter.
Habitat for Humanity build Savings in the bag. strategy updated for Quinte West ���� �� �� ��� �� ���� ������� ���� ���� �����
By Kate Everson
News - Quinte West – Peter Stewart, vice chair, and Len Kennedy, executive director of Habitat for Humanity, Prince Edward-Hastings, told council a new build is at least a year or two away. “We have built three homes in Quinte West,” said Stewart. “There is no scheduled build this year.” He said Habitat is building three homes this year and three next year including builds in Bancroft and Picton on land donated by the municipalities. They have built a total of 14 homes in the district. “We select families who can afford a mortgage but fall below the poverty line,” he noted. “This is a hand up. They don’t need a down payment and the mortgage payments are scaled to income.” A home will be scheduled for construction in Picton in March and has already started in Bancroft in November. “Families put in 500 hours of
�����
sweat equity,” he said. “Results show these families have better health and are better off with these homes than they were before.” He noted the mortgage money is reinvested into the fund to build more homes. “The ReStore covers administration costs,” he added. CAO Charlie Murphy said the city is currently looking for opportunities for a partnership with Bob Clute and will bring back a report to council on February 10 with options. Terry Cassidy asked if the homes were priced at fair market value. Peter Stewart said this is all done by an appraiser. Cassidy asked if St. Paul Secondary is involved as a sponsor with the same commitment as previously. “St. Paul always takes the leading role,” Stewart acknowledged. He said they worked with John Brisbois and now Diane Teflo. “Every community takes a
lead in organizing the build and rallying the troops,” he added. “In Belleville it was St. Theresa’s.” Fred Kuypers asked if there was a long list of people waiting to be accepted for a home. Stewart said these people are very hard to find. “We might have 100 come to a meeting and out of that ten will apply but only one will qualify,” Stewart said. He said these are the working poor, who can afford to pay a mortgage but little else. Bob Wannamaker noted he was at the open house for the Habitat home on Kerr Crescent and appreciated how well built it was. Don Kuntze asked if they have anybody selected yet for the next one. Peter Stewart said it takes a year of two to prepare a family, including life coaching, budgeting, home ownership and maintenance. Mayor John Williams said the community is very supportive.

Driving on snow and ice can be nice – if you are prepared By George Wand
Lifestyles - Winter driving is no different in a hybrid or electric vehicle than in any conventional car or light truck. Front and rear wheel drive cars do behave differently, but because the vast majority are front wheel drive, we need not discuss that. BTW, you can read information about the different recovery
techniques between front and rear wheel skids (not drive) in the link at the end. A pickup truck may need extra weight at the rear to avoid spinning its wheels, and an easy touch on the pedals. At the first snowfall of every winter, far too many Canadian drivers are being overwhelmed by the road conditions we encounter on that day when the streets
are suddenly white. In younger years, this writer has driven in various winter rallies; one memorable event was called ‘Dice on Ice’ — and it was. But even with experience driving in difficult conditions, it takes a certain amount of time, and care and caution, getting used to driving on that white stuff again. On an empty
parking lot, one can explore the limits of adhesion under different conditions, while steering, braking with ABS, or accelerating. We had plenty of opportunities with adverse conditions during the holidays; who would have guessed it would come so soon and so heavy? Patience with other drivers is the first

order of the day. Having a light grip on the steering wheel and developing a feel for what the front wheels are doing takes time. We depend on heavy footwear to get around in winter, but boots are getting in the way of having a sensitive touch on the pedals. It is no coincidence that racing drivers wear extra-light driving shoes. BTW, my brother told me that in the army soldiers learned to drive a tank by having to wear only socks during the first days of driving training. Winter weather for us means mostly snow, however, an article from the Washington Post claims that, “There really are 50 Eskimo words for snow.” We may be able to differentiate between powder, wet and packed snow, but that is about the extent of my connection with winter. Ice of any colour is dangerous. Rather than carrying on about how to drive in these conditions, let the tips from Transport Canada (link at the end) tell us what we should do, or not do, in order to “arrive alive” when the conditions on highways and byways can be hazardous. A few of the tips are: Install four matching winter tires; learn and practice winter driving techniques before you need them; remove all snow from your vehicle before each trip; fill up on winter washer fluid in the -40°C temperature range; take a fully charged cell phone with you; slow down and wear your seatbelt. Using four matching tires improves vehicle handling. Don’t mix tires with different tread patterns, internal c onstruction and size. Transport Canada also advises to ”Stay calm if you get trapped in a storm or snow bank.” That’s easy to say from a warm office, but in reality, it could save a life. You can find all the tips at http:// www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/ safevehicles-safetyfeatures-wintertiresindex-468.htm

Needless to say he was soon out exploring the house which is home to a Doberman named Siren, and two other cats from the Humane Society named Hobbes and Martha. Although Mumby and her husband Tom had intended to only foster the kitten, Milo soon became a treasured family member. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could have knocked me down with a feather when my husband said he can stay,â&#x20AC;? said Mumby, while Milo climbed onto her lap. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am convinced these little ones ďŹ nd their way to the people they are destined to be with. But I cannot ďŹ gure out for the life of me why some of them have to suffer so to get there. I guess we will never know.â&#x20AC;?

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stirling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Following its successful debut last winter, the Stirling Agricultural Society will be hosting its second winter demolition derby at the fairgrounds this weekend. Agricultural Society Treasurer Roxanne Hearns says volunteers have been preparing for Sno Smash 2014, scheduled for Saturday afternoon, with the hopes of drawing another hearty crowd of spectators to the chilly and slippery contact sport. In late February last year, crowds well in excess of 500 people arrived to take in the mechanical mayhem from the bleachers set up along the edge of the fairgrounds main horse ring. Throughout the afternoon, about 40 cars and trucks battled for survival in a series of heats that ended when a single vehicle remained operational amid the steam and debris of the others. A similar format will be used again this year, Hearns says, of the wintry version of the fall fair favourite. The derbies are a popular staple at the Stirling Fair each year, consistently drawing more than 1,000 people to the stands, and organizers opted for the winter experiment for the ďŹ rst time last year. And with the inaugural event managing to make a small proďŹ t, Hearns says, organizers are hopeful the crowds will return this weekend.

She keeps a large cage in there as she fosters cat families from the Quinte Humane Society, where she used to work. The kind-hearted sisters gave her a cash donation to care for the kitten. The next thing Mumby knew she had given the feisty feline a name â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Milo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the next three weeks Milo grew stronger, fatter, bolder and noisier. I have never had such a loud, vocal and extraordinarily affectionate kitten. Milo didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be alone in the room and wailed uncontrollably whenever I left,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sisters were horriďŹ ed as it dawned on them that some wonderful piece of humanity had thrown these three tiny kittens in the ditch and left them to die.â&#x20AC;? The sisters gathered the kittens up and took them to their barn where they warmed and fed them, then went home to decide on a game plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next morning I got a distressed phone call from them, telling me what had happened, they got choked up and told me that two of the kittens had died overnight and did I know what could be done for the remaining kitten,â&#x20AC;? said Mumby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took me all of two seconds to think . . . bring it down here!

Milo has definitely used up one of his nine lives after being rescued from a ditch where he and two other siblings had been dumped just before Christmas in -27 degree temperatures. He is the only one to survive. Deb Mumby, who lives in the country near Warkworth where the felines were left to die, has decided to keep him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is exactly why spaying and neutering is so important,â&#x20AC;? she said. Photo: Sue Dickens
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Warkworth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dumped in a ditch in -27 degree weather and left to die, this is the story of how one, but only one, of three kittens survived because of the intervention of some caring country folks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand how a person can do this,â&#x20AC;? Deb Mumby told the Trent Hills Independent as she explained just how the rescue unfolded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since I was a kid animals have always been my passion,â&#x20AC;? she added. Mumby operates Whiskers and Wags, (www.whiskersandwags.ca), a pet sitting and dog walking service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since I was a kid animals have always been my passion,â&#x20AC;? she said when interviewed at her home in the country on Norham Road near Warkworth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got a call from a distraught neighbour who told me that she and her sister had been out for a walk and had heard a strange noise up ahead. When they arrived at the location, one tiny tabby kitten came crawling out of the snow-ďŹ lled ditch followed by two others,â&#x20AC;? she explained.

LIFESTYLES
Reality Check:
Middle school dances are ridiculous
ers, for instance, love is definitely better off waiting. In fact, a study reported in USA Today found that the age that kids start dating is highly correlated to the age at which they first have intercourse. Ninety-one per cent of kids who started dating at 12 had had sex by high school graduation, compared with just 20% of kids who started dating at age 16. Delaying pairing off pays off. And a huge 2012 University of Texas study found that delaying sex until your twenties meant better romantic relationships later. People who wait for both dating and sex tend to end up happier.

likely to drop out of high school and twice as likely to graduate college. Other important findings: kids who remain virgins in high school are less than half as likely to suffer from depression and less than half as likely to go on welfare as adults. If you want a society with predominantly productive citizens in stable relationships, then we’ll want to encourage kids to wait to have sex, which includes encouraging them to wait to date. Whether you’re looking at it from an economic standpoint, a moral standpoint, or a public health standpoint, it just doesn’t make sense to encourage kids to date at early ages. All of this leads me to ask; why on earth, then, do we have middle school dances, all put on by our Boards of Education? Are we out of our collective minds? We’re tak-

little Jenny has a boyfriend at ten. But even if this starts out as clean fun, the younger kids start to date, the more they’ll experiment as they age. Do you really want your child going down that road? Maybe some parents want it, and likely a lot of the kids do, too. But that doesn’t mean other parents have to stand for it. You could suggest a square dance caller instead. You could offer to host a party with hula hoop contests and limbo contests instead of a traditional dance. You could pick up your kids early and take them home that day. Or better still, you could ask at the next PTA meeting “What advantage are we getting from asking 12 and 13-year-olds to pair up?” Because unless you can tell me the benefit, I’ll never believe that it will outweigh the potential harm.
Catalogue time
These days, working in a nursery/garden centre, I have access to just about every catalogue on the planet. While it’s true that we all can go online with our computers and peruse any seed-house offering we wish, it’s just not the same. I can’t circle the monitor like I can Item # 53558, the Chocolate glads on page 35 of Vesey’s Bulbs. Nor can I put a big X through the Taunus beets on page three of their seed catalog. By the way, 2014 marks their 75th year in the trade. These days, I take only three of the retail catalogues Vesey’s, Stoke’s and OSC. However, Gentle Reader, the ones that I most enjoy now are the trade catalogues put out by the nurseries and meant specifically for wholesalers. You will find me at trade shows such as Landscape Ontario’s Congress, cruising the floor and scarfing up every offering I can find. There’s not a lot of frippery in these tidy tomes. Wholesale
pricing is exceptionally competitive and the pencil sharpening has been done long before these books have gone to print. When you compare pricing, it is almost as if the growers met in a big room to decide; sort of like gasoline marketing. However, I can tell you that is just not so. This business is as competitive as any other and these folks didn’t fall off the turnip truck yesterday. They know what they can charge, to the penny. The real differences will show in the quality of the product; which company offers up the best pruned trees, the best packaging, the best delivery charges and scheduling, the best follow-up service and so on. That doesn’t mean that these catalogues are less glamorous then the retail offerings; in fact, the only ingredient missing is the florid prose. Some of the photography is spectacular, especially the covers and ads for NVK. For the niche nursery, i.e., the ones that focus on a single plant, Q&Z from Illinois gets my vote as the best. They breed and sell hostas. Their catalog gives the provenance of each cultivar including who developed it as well as all the usual growing information. It’s sort of like a mini-Dirr but with pricing. I’ve got stuff from Uxbridge, Kobes, BTN, Sheridan’s, Connon’s (pick one),
Dan Clost Kraus, Dutchmaster (all Canadian companies) as well as Schmidt’s, Sloan’s, and a few other sundry American firms. Once you’ve read through them you have a very good idea of what each plant is about, what will be available to customers this year. I can tell you that ash trees (Fraxinus sp) are not prominent on the offer sheets. So, GR, a little bit of insider knowledge was just imparted to you. If the trade (retail outlets, landscapers etc.) all pay close to the same amount at purchase time, you might question why the price you’re being charged is different depending on where you’re shopping. Lots of reasons for that, all valid; but, they do make a difference in the big picture. A prudent shopper will take time to discern those reasons.

Lifestyles - Most of us gardener types enjoy this time of year for only one reason and it ain’t fer the white stuff. We don’t truly enjoy the snow. Sure, we can look at those huge drifts burying cars and slow-moving elders and mumble self-serving platitudes like, “Snow is nature’s blanket. Bah! Humbug!” February is catalogue time. I used to have huge stacks of them showing up in the mailbox during January...I think the posties drew lots to see who would be stuck with me on their route. Remember back in the day when snail mail was the only mail and letter carriers would have two bags slung over their shoulders? In January, our carrier had a St. Bernard hauling a little sled with nothing on it but my catalogues. Okay, I did exaggerate a titch. I would stack the little treasures on a table near the living room armchair, watching them pile up until almost tipping over, just waiting for February.
ing kids as young as Grade 6 and holding dances during school hours. Why encourage kids that young to pair off? I got my first “boyfriend” because of a middle school dance in Grade 7. I’d never even thought of dating him before, but he asked me to dance, and all of a sudden we were “going out”. Looking back it was embarrassing, but then all I felt was pressure. All the girls were wondering, “Is anyone going to dance with me?” And all the boys were wondering what the girls would wear. Kids who had never thought of asking someone out suddenly got fixated on it. Ask a school principal and they’ll likely say they only hold these dances because parents insist on it, and that’s probably true. Too many parents think “it’s so cute” when

News - Trenton - Valentine’s Day is coming a little bit early to the Seniors Club 105. “We are having our Valentine’s Day dinner on February 8,” says president Joyce Aucoin. “It’s not just for members. Anybody can come. It’s a full roast beef dinner.” Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door. The dinner runs from 1 to 3 p.m. and includes all the trimmings. “We have a group in the kitchen that cooks the meal,” Aucoin adds. “We can make dinners for up to 200 people.” The Valentine’s dinner is just one of the fund raisers the club is having to make needed renovations to the club house on Bay Street. “There is so much we need to get done,” Aucoin says. “We have applied for grants but haven’t heard anything yet.” Meanwhile the centre is a beehive of activities. There is a free exercise program starting on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 to 10 a.m. for seniors (over 50) to get into shape. It is called the SMART program run by the VON. “We are also starting classes on how to use a computer,” she says. “We have a member who has volunteered to show seniors. You just need to sign up.” There is also a program at Quinte West library main branch on teaching seniors to use the computer including email and Internet essentials, running on Wednesday mornings from February 5 to February 26. See the library for details. However, seniors at Club 105 don’t need to know anything about computers to have good old-fashioned fun. While teams play shuffleboard upstairs, the dart players are busy downstairs. There is also snooker, euchre, quilting, crafts, cribbage, bridge, painting, woodworking, carpet bowling and more. “We are starting Scrabble now too,” Aucoin adds. Membership in the club is only $25 the first year and $20 each year afterwards. “There is lots to do here,” Aucoin says. “You can spend the whole weekend playing cards if you want.” More information about club activities is available on Trenton Seniors Club 105 Facebook page or call the centre at 613392-5400.

knows operates out of Warkworth, might be a good idea. “I find it’s very affective. It’s nice to have speakers at meetings but a lot of it can be passed on and not too much manpower is required. It is a tremendous resource.” Chrystalla Chew, program co-ordinator at Palliative Care Campbellford, also offered input. “If we don’t meet and it isn’t regular there will be a lot of continuity that is lost. I am more inclined to suggest we meet at least twice a year than no meetings, for that continuity.”

News - Campbellford - The health of the Age Well Network (AWN) of Trent Hills is under scrutiny as members discuss possible prescriptions for its wellbeing. “We want to talk a little bit about where the AWN is going and what we’re going to be doing for the future,” said Doreen Sharpe, who has co-chaired the group with Brian Stonehouse for the past two years. Announcing both co-chairs will be stepping down as well as membership coordinator/secretary Krista Skutovich of the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit, Sharpe offered some options for the group to consider at their recent lunch meeting. The AWN began as an offshoot of the Northumberland Falls Prevention Coalition in 2008, members wanting to resurrect something the local hospital had started in 2004. “We recognized there was a need for these partners in Trent Hills to better communicate, stay in touch with local seniors, issues and events,” Sharpe said.

It gave us a focus.” Natisha Debutte, program co-ordinator at Community Care Northumberland said, “I personally like networking … I live here and work here. It’s definitely a passion. Let me see what I can do to help the group.” The decision was made to reach out to the entire membership for feedback with a survey before making any decision.

Sports - It was a busy weekend at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre, as close to 500 youth swimmers descended on Belleville, as for the first time ever the Belleville Youth Swim (BYST) team played host to the Eastern Ontario Swimming Association Short Course Regional Championships. The event ran from January 31 to February 2 at the Templeman Menninga Aquatic Centre. Competing against swimmers from across the province, Belleville Youth Swim Team athletes put together an especially strong showing on the final day of competition, and with an impressive string of results

Here we have Blue (adopted – yay!) Spike and Grey. These three kittens were brought to a home in Hastings by their mother and left on the doorstep when they were about 5 weeks old. They have been in foster care ever since. Spike he is a little spitfire, he loves food and can be easily won over with treats. When you get him relaxed, he is incredibly sweet and cuddly.

Having two kittens is a great idea for those who are away all day at work so perhaps consider adopting them together. Your kitten will have a friend to keep him company and you get double the laughs and joy watching them play and snuggle. Grey is a lovely little prince, an adorable dark grey kitten. He has very soft fur and is a happy, healthy and rambunctious little guy. Grey is a little shy around new people. He likes to come for cuddles and pats from his foster family and enjoys sitting with them. While he loves to hang out with his siblings but is quite independent too. Please check out our website for more beautiful cats and kittens for adoption at www.catcarespayneuter.com. We are still reducing our adoption fees to $75 for kittens and $50 for cats.

catapulted themselves from eighth to fifth in the final combined rankings. Katelyn Cairns, Melissa Dingle, Stephanie Cairns, Rafik Jiwa, Alexander Grant, Ashley Allaire, Mackenzie Latter and Jeremy Moher all medaled during the competition, and coach Brandon Oates said he was proud of the results put together by all 22 of the BYST swimmers who competed. “It’s wonderful, it’s amazing to see all their hard work pay off,” he said. “The big things I’ve been trying to instill here are discipline, commitment and work ethic. You get out what you put into it, and the culture we’re starting to build here is starting to show ... It’s going to be
a couple more years to really get to where we’re going but we’ve made tremendous improvements.” Belleville was able to host the event for the first time thanks to specific design decisions made when constructing the aquatics centre, such as an eight-lane pool. “It’s a great venue here, for a championship event like this we need eight lanes,” Oates said. “The fact that the city went ahead and built this pool ... we’re very lucky, a lot of communities don’t do this, and can’t hold meets. Peterborough is holding their regional championships right now, but they have to go to Bracebridge to host it.” Moving forward, the BYST is looking ahead to sending some of is athletes to even higher level competition later this year. BYST athletes Melissa Dingle, Katelyn Cairns and Stephanie Cairns have all qualified Please see “Belleville” on page 23
Belleville hosts regional swimming championships
Close to 500 youth swimmers attended the Eastern Ontario Swimming Association Short Course Regional Championships in Belleville this past weekend. The competition attracted swimmers from across the province, with the Greater Ottawa Kingfish Swim Club taking the top combined team title. Belleville finished in fifth out of over 20 attending clubs. Continued from page 22
for the upcoming Swim Canada Eastern Canadian Swimming Championships in Windsor later this month, where they’ll compete against hundreds of the best youth swimmers in the country. All three of those athletes have also qualified for provincial competition, alongside Raik Jiwa and Alexander Grant. Also, Jiwa, Grant, Katie Morrison, Nate Shiers-Redhead, Mackenzie Latter, Lauren Taylor and Ashley Allaire have each qualified for Swim Ontario’s Festivals competition for athletes age 13 and under. “When you’re approaching a championship meet the training aspect really comes into play,” Oates said, when asked what’s important for young swimmers to do to succeed at larger meets. “For the older ones, they’re training a little harder, but they back off training and rest a bit going into the meet.
For the 12 and unders the shave off that time.” key thing is to make sure that they’re aware of all the little things, the skills and technical aspects that allow them to

SnoFest welcomed the seasonable weather

Entertainment – Marmora - SnoFest celebrated 36 years on the weekend of January 31 to February 2 when crowds of mushers and observers arrived at the fairgrounds and other venues around town for a wintry weekend filled with fun. It truly was a snow event this year with the trails boasting a hefty covering of the white stuff and plenty of it in evidence at the fairgrounds as well. It all began at the Community Centre on Friday evening with the opening ceremonies during which MP Daryl Kramp expressed thanks to those who make the annual event possible, pointing to the younger generation stepping in to carry on with Jen Bennett as the new Chair. Kramp, in speaking to the mushers,
commented, “You have come to a warm, warm, friendly place. The weather may be a little fresh and chilly in some cases, but the hearts of the people here are absolutely magnificent. Have yourself a wonderful time. Take advantage of every activity - there is something for everyone.” Bennett welcomed all, going on to thank Celebrate Ontario, Ontario Trillium Foundation and Community Futures for grants which she said had “brought it up a notch this year.” Community support and sponsors were also mentioned, with Bennett pointing to a banner at the back of the room, which listed them all. Marmora & Lake Reeve Terry Clemens, introduced by emcee Bruce Cook as “our good old Reeve”, extended thanks
to all volunteers and board members. The evening went ahead with the well-attended Marmora’s Got Talent, which attracted two entries in the 13 and under category and nine in the over 13 classification. Judges Paul Speight, Luke Mercer and Hynze Bryans had their jobs cut out for them in determining the winners, who provided entertainment ranging from classical and country music to humour and rap. Speight commented on the outstanding talent, saying the judges had a tough job making a decision, as all contestants were “within fractions of one another.” First place in the 13 and under category went to Deanna Collier, with Kayla Carman in second. Matthew Rivera, Anne Marie McGregor and the DeJong family of eight violinists were
first, second and third in the older division. The races began the following day with teams from across Ontario and one from each of Quebec and New York State participating in a total of eight dog-related events, which ranged over the course of the snowy weekend from sprints and skijoring to a 20-mile run to Malone and back. As always there were many other activities and events for all to enjoy both at the fairgrounds and around town, among them, an ice water rescue demonstration by members of the local fire department, the Back of Cordova curling bonspiel, the annual Artistic Expressions display and sale, and Who’s Growing Locally with its wide array of goods, both edible
and otherwise, all produced nearby. There was entertainment for the children with Saturday’s Kidz Zone, which provided both indoor and outdoor fun ranging from mime, face painting and storytelling, to music, hot chocolate and time spent sliding down a man-made hill. Sunday featured the impressive talents of Circus Jonathan Seglins, of Toronto, who provided two 20-minute interactive and very entertaining outdoor shows on Sunday, which had appeal not only for the children who sat in colourful chairs to enjoy the juggling, balancing and other feats, but also for the parents who stood nearby watching the show. Between performances, Circus John donned a pair of very tall stilts, Please see “Let” on page B2

Chainsaw carver, Levi Caya of Campbellford, who has been perfecting his craft over the past five years, set up shop on the bandstand where he worked on a bear, while onlookers had the opportunity to purchase other pieces of work or buy tickets on a draw for one of three carvings with the proceeds going to SnoFest. Saturday night featured a silent auction at the Community Centre along with the annual banquet catered by members of the Marmora Crowe Valley Lions Club, followed by entertainment provided by the Toronto based band, Running Red Lights. The group played again the next day following the awards ceremony when many gathered to receive
trophies, ribbons and congratulations from Race Marshall Shane Cox, who managed to participate in two races himself, winning the 20-mile event. Bennett commented prior to the presentations, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to thank everyone who came out this weekend. We braved this great Canadian weather and saw lots of gorgeous dogs ... I hope we can continue to improve this festival for years to come.â&#x20AC;? She also mentioned Running Red Lights, saying the group had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;a huge hit.â&#x20AC;?

Astronomer’s presentation to seniors out of this world

News – Campbellford – A special guest whose presentation was out of this world kept his audience thanking their lucky stars for his expertise. Mixing some mythology with facts discovered through astronomy, John Cameron of the Peterborough Astronomical Association spoke to seniors at Island Park Retirement Community about what might be out there beyond our world we know here on earth. “Space is not empty it is very full,” he told the residents during his talk which included a couple of videos, one showing an eclipse of the sun. The videos were by Canadian amateur astronomer Andrea Gaddas, which gave the residents an opportunity for armchair travel to the night sky and galaxies beyond. “I’ve always been interested with what’s outside our own little earth, what’s out there,” said Bill McMechan, who with his wife Rosemary has taken up residence at Island Park short-term. “I’ve always wanted to somehow be able to understand distances . . . like a light year,” he added, after the presenta-
tion. Another resident Helen Simpson posed a question to Cameron. “When I look out my window, overlooking the river, not the canal side, I’ll see the moon and in the left hand corner there is always a very bright light . . . what is that light?” “It could be a satellite, or a star, or even a reflection in the atmosphere,” said Cameron, who after learning Simpson sees it every night provided a more definitive answer. “It’s probably a planet and at this time of year it’s probably Jupiter,” he replied. “I learned about a lot of things that are happening in the sky that we don’t take notice of,” said Simpson later, an opinion echoed by others who attended the event. The room where the presentation was held was filled with large photographs of stars and comets and galaxies, adding to the material provided by Cameron. “Canada, France and Hawaii (C-F-H) went together on a very large telescope that looks out into the night sky and these are some of the images that have

over 300,000 readers. “It’s a pretty big thing,” AsphodelNorwood Mayor Doug Pearcy said of the exhibition which is returning for a third summer in a row at the award-winning zoo on Highway 7 in the township. “It brings money into the township [and] it’s been growing all the time,” Deputy-mayor Joe Crowley added. “I think we should continue what we’ve done in the past.” “There are a lot of non-AsphodelNorwood people who manage to get that far into Asphodel-Norwood,” Councillor Mary Hay said. “It’s a good place to put the ‘come live with us’ flavour of Asphodel-Norwood and get it out there,” Hay said. Popular and successful, the exhibition of life-like animatronic dinosaurs has been a hit with all ages.

In the wild the “saltys” can grow to 20 feet in length; at the zoo they are expected to reach more than 16 feet. There were 13 dinosaurs on display last summer with Tyron, the 5,000-pound, 40-foot-long and 19-foottall roaring and moving T-Rex earning more rave reviews. There will be 13 dinosaurs at the zoo, nearly doubling last year’s exhibition. “When we get people here we teach them about reptiles; that’s the idea behind the dinosaurs, to help save living reptiles today,” says Reptile Zoo curator Bry Loyst. The Indian River Reptile Zoo is Canada’s only registered not-for-profit accredited reptile facility and Loyst relishes the opportunity to talk to the general public about reptiles and reptile conservation. One of the unique additions to last year’s exhibition was the three-toed, two-legged Giganotosaurus. Dinosaurs Roar 2014 will run from May 31 until September 7.
website suggests the following be kept in mind while snowmobiling: Wind Chill: Wind chill occurs when the temperature drops below the actual thermometer reading due to wind and/ or the forward momentum of a fast moving sled. Wind chill exposes you to severe cold, which in turn can cause hypothermia. Wind-proof outer garments, extra layers and a balaclava will offer some protection, but keep your face shield down to prevent wind burn and to protect your skin and eyes. Ride Safe: Please follow the nationally approved snowmobile hand signals to ensure safety on the trails for everyone. Practice Zero Alcohol: Alcohol is involved in over 70% of snowmobiling fatalities. Even small amounts of alcohol can impair your perception, slow your reaction time and limit your ability to control your sled at that critical moment when your life is in the balance. Operating your sled under the influence of alcohol is punishable under the Criminal Code of Canada. If convicted of driving a snowmobile while impaired,
you will lose all driving privileges (car, truck, motorcycle, off-road vehicles and snowmobile). Therefore if you drink and ride both your driver’s license and insurability are at risk. Night Riding: Nine out of ten fatalities, occur after dark. Slow down, don’t overdrive your headlights. Becoming disoriented or lost is much more likely at night. Wear outer clothing with reflective trim on the arms, back and helmet. Never ride alone at night. Always dress in your full snowmobiling outfit even if your intended destination is just next door. Please do your part and make safety part of your preparation and planning for any day on the trails.

Snowmobilers rescued from Rice Lake Island
News – Rice Lake – On Sunday, Feb. 2 at 7:14 p.m. Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received a call for assistance from an island on Rice Lake where three people reported running out of gas while snowmobiling. OPP and Hamilton Township Fire Department (HFD) received the call for assistance from three males who reported that they had run out of gas on Rice Lake and had walked to Spook Island between Gores Landing and Harwood. They were dressed appropriately for the weather however they were seeking assistance getting back to shore. Officers activated emergency lights and sirens from Gores Landing and all three made it safely to shore by walking across the ice and will be recovering their sleds
during daylight hours. No one was injured. The following safety tips are strongly recommended by OPP: always wear a helmet; only travel on trails which are groomed and posted as open; when travelling on frozen water surfaces make sure that the ice is strong enough to support you and your snowmobile; watch out for open water around docks and shorelines that may be caused by operating bubblers; be cognizant that lower water levels have caused normally submerged hazards such as rocks to now be exposed; be aware that blowing and drifting snow may make it difficult to see docks; travel only at posted speed limits – don’t speed and only operate snowmobiles that you are familiar with. The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC)

been gathered,” he said. The C-F-H observatory hosts a world-class, 3.6 meter optical/infrared telescope and is located atop the summit of Mauna Kea, a 4,200-meter, dormant volcano on the island of Hawaii. “They take several hundred frames and put them into a computer and pick the best ones,” he explained. Cameron also told the residents about an area south of Kaladar on Hwy. 41 called the Lennox and Addington dark sky area, “the most southerly dark sky site in Ontario,” explaining that light pollution from cities and towns is a big
problem for astronomers. Cameron brought several telescopes and some books as well as a Canadian magazine called Nightwatch with him too. “I’ve always been fascinated by the night sky, ever since I was a kid,” he told the Trent Hills Independent. “Now people are talking about exoplanets around stars out in space. The theory is if we have stars and planets there must be other places like earth out there,” he concluded, giving residents plenty to think about including the age-old question - is there life out there?
Lying to a conservation officer proves costly News - A Northumberland County resident has been fined $1,500 for illegally hunting a cow moose. Andrew Bull pleaded guilty to harvesting a cow moose when he was licensed to harvest only a calf moose. Court heard that on October 25, 2013, a conservation officer contacted Bull at a hunt camp during the moose hunting season in the Municipality of Marmora and Lake in Hastings County. Bull stated he had shot and killed a calf moose on October 22, 2013. The officer later inspected the moose’s head and determined it was that of a cow moose, not a calf. The moose meat was seized and donated to charity. Justice of the Peace Deanne Chapelle heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Belleville, on January 21, 2014. In order to hunt a bull or cow moose, a hunter must have an adult moose validation tag in addition to a moose hunting licence. For further information on hunting regulations, please consult the Fall 2013-2014 Hunting Regulations Summary, available at ontario.ca/hunting. To report a natural resources violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free any time or contact your local ministry office during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

My Theatre tickles the funny-bone again! By Kate Everson
Entertainment - Trenton Love, Sex and the CIA is My Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest performance that is sure to tickle your funny-bone. Jon Trachtman (played by Devon Bird) and Leslie Arthur (Jim West) are out-of-work musicians who room together in New York City. To save money, Jon has been filing tax returns listing the pair as a married couple (Leslie is a man). The day of reckoning comes when the Internal Revenue Service (Floyd played by Steve Edwards) informs the couple theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be investigated. Leslie masquerades as a housewife, aided by Jonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiancĂŠe, Kate (Brittney Grier). Complicating matters further Leslie and Kate are having an affair behind Jonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back. Jonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother Vivian (director Bev Roy) drops in unexpectedly to meet her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiancĂŠe, and Leslieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-girlfriend Connie
(Simone Portelli) shows up demanding to know why Leslie has changed and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see her anymore. Meanwhile the landlord Jensen (Robert Davidson) is getting mighty suspicious about what is actually going on in the apartment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is like a cross between I Love Lucy and Some Like it Hot!â&#x20AC;? says director Bev Roy. Roy is pleased to be back in Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s My Theatre group for another season, having accepted the position of Artistic Director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been rehearsing for two months,â&#x20AC;? Roy says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a difficult time keeping a straight face.â&#x20AC;? She says being a director and one of the actors takes its toll. She memorizes her lines while listening to a CD while driving or doing the dishes at home. If anyone forgets their lines on stage there is no prompter.
The actors pose for the play: Jim West, Simone Portelli, Robert Davidson, Steve Edwards, Bev Roy, Brittney Grier and Devon Bird. Photo: Kate Everson
â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone stumbles on their lines, the other actors will pick it up for them,â&#x20AC;? she says. The show runs from February 27 and 28 through March 1, 2 (matinee at 2
p.m.), 7, 8, 9 (matinee), 14 and 15 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 available online at the web site <mytheatrequinte. ca> or call 613-392-7635. Opening night specials are available.

a.m. OPP officers were conducting RIDE checks on Toronto Road between Norton Lane and Park Street west in Colborne when a 2008 Dodge Calibre approached the officers. The female driver was given a roadside screening device and taken for further breath tests. Susan Marie McCoy, 55 from Colborne, is charged with driving with
more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in the blood. On Friday, January 31 at 10:50 p.m. OPP had set up on County Road 9 and County Road 10 in the Municipality of Port Hope when they observed at blue 2008 Ford Ranger travelling north on County Road 10 that had stopped a short distance away from the spot check. The officer who approached the vehicle found the lone male driver to be confused and showing signs of alcohol consumption. The officer conducted an investigation and eventually arrested the male for impaired driving and took him for breath tests. J o s h u a Benjamin Blakely, 28 from Gores Landing is charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle and driving with more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in the blood. Both accused have been released on a promise to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg on Wednesday, February 19 at 9:30 a.m. Each of the accused had their driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence suspended for 90 days and their vehicles impounded for seven.

Hospitalizations
Canadian acute care hospitals handled almost 2.8 million hospitalizations in 2009-2010 and approximately 14% less than in 1995. Although this number has decreased by 14% since 1995â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1996, it has remained stable since 2001â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2002. (Canadian Institutes for Health Information [CIHI], 2011). The leading cause of hospitalization in Canada continues to be heart disease and stroke, accounting for 16.9 % of total hospitalizations (19.8% of all hospitalizations for men and 14.0% for women) (PHAC, 2009).

Heart attack
There are an estimated 70,000 heart attacks each year in Canada. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one heart attack every 7 minutes. Almost 16,000 Canadians die each year as the result of a heart attack. Most of these deaths occur out of hospital (Statistics Canada, 2012c). The number of heart attack-related hospitalizations has increased steadily over the past decade (1994-95 to 2003-04) (CIHI, 2005).

Up to 40,000 cardiac arrests occur each year in Canada. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one cardiac arrest every 12 minutes. Without rapid and appropriate treatment, most of these cardiac arrests will result in death. Thousands of lives could be saved through public access to automated external defibrillators. As many as 85% of all cardiac arrests occur in homes and public places (Vaillancourt & Stiell, 2004). After more than 12 minutes of ventricular fibrillation, the survival rate from cardiac arrest is less than 5% (Hazinski et al, 2004). For every 1 minute delay in defibrillation, the survival rate of a cardiac arrest victim decreases by 7% to 10% (Larsen et al, 1993). Combined with CPR, the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75% or more (Weisfeldt et al, 2010).

To all my friends and family that showed up to help cerebrate my surprise 50th party, thank you for the cards and gifts and fond memories that I will enjoy.

Elizabeth Lenore "Betty" Sharp (Née Weaver) September 12, 1919 - January 16, 2014 I lived a long, interesting and healthy life, but on January 16, just before midnight, it became my turn to sail into the unknown. I fought hard, but my body simply could not recover after my recent hip surgery. I was the last surviving member of my immediate family -- brothers Gerald, Howard and Bill, and sisters Aura and Marion. We grew up in Trenton, Ontario and were a close and lively family. I remember how our family coped during the Depression, and the impact that these hard times had on our characters. But mostly, I remember the good times -- each of us playing the piano, and learning to voice our own opinions and to think about challenging subjects. We subscribed to several duplicate morning newspapers so that we would all have a chance to read of the events and issues of the day. My family loved our evening discussions about world and local affairs. As a sixteen year old, during a polio scare, my older brothers and I took care of Bill and Marion on an isolated but beautiful plot of land on Lake Ontario. That adventurous summer in a tent was the beginning of a longstanding tradition of family uniting at the lake. I attended Queen's University in Kingston, and during that time met my husband, Frederick Sharp. I shared my life with him and our five children, John, Brenda, Richard, Barbara and Elizabeth, as well as our precious dogs, Lucky, Rosie and Maxie. Though I was an extremely busy wife and mother I was determined to complete my degree as I had left Queen's to marry Freddie. I was pleased and proud when Freddie and all the children attended my graduation after passing that final French course! On the home front, I was the activity coordinator of the music, swimming, baseball, golf, skiing and tennis lessons for my five children. I wanted each of my children to grow up able to think independently and to be responsible for themselves. Being a parent during the tumultuous sixties and seventies was challenging but we were always able to come back together after both the good times and the bad. We moved frequently over the years, and lived in Trenton, Calgary, Ottawa (at different times), London Ontario, Winnipeg, England, and the states of Washington, Maine and Colorado. For twenty five years, I hosted and attended countless luncheons, dinner parties and official functions. Later, after Freddie retired from the Armed Forces, we moved permanently to our cottage on Lake Ontario near Brighton. We had always kept our family connections to my brothers and sisters and their children by returning regularly to our cottage. I loved being Aunt Betty to all my nieces and nephews. My children lived in different cities and countries but Freddie and I did our best to ensure their families could reconnect at the lake. And they did, year after year. The lake became the heart of my family's existence. I was so happy whenever I sailed my little sunfish on sunny, windy afternoons, and when I slipped into the water for my daily swims along the shore. In the evenings, my family carried on the tradition of discussing the issues of the day or trying to come up with answers to unanswerable questions about our universe. Many parties full of music, dance and laughter highlighted the summers, including family weddings, birthdays and anniversaries. After Freddie died in 1992, I learned how to live on my own. I kept up our tradition of going to North Palm Beach in the winter, and continued to enjoy my friends there. The rest of the year I lived at the lake, and my family and friends would join me there for many good times. I always kept a good book at my side, read the newspaper every morning and went for long walks. Almost every day I played my organ and gazed out over the lake to ponder the big questions and the small. I also traveled with my sister and others to places such as Italy, France, England, Cuba and Alaska. Freddie and I were able to travel all over the world before he died, for business and pleasure, and I did not want to give that up. In 2010 I was crushed and overwhelmed by the death of my dear daughter Barbara. Nothing prepared me for her death and I never got over it. Yet looking back over nearly 100 years I am very grateful for an interesting, rewarding and fun time on earth. But when the end approached, I was ready to sail on. I will be buried beside Freddie and Barbara at Mount Evergreen Cemetery, outside Trenton, Ontario. My children and grandchildren (Sariya, Alexander, Alexa, Michael, Adam, Casey and Justin) will have a celebration of my life at the lake in July 2014. The details will be announced on the Weaver Family Funeral Home's website www.weaverfuneralhomes.com. In lieu of flowers, donations in my memory can be made at this site to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Canadian Wildlife Federation or directly to the charity of your choice. CL430290
