Cramahe treasurer says overtime “overwhelming,� requests extra staff

News - Cramahe Township Treasurer Mora Chatterson has asked council for another employee while two other departments have requested the temporary hiring of two parttime staff last year be made permanent. The three requests were submitted as issue papers in advance of council’s budget deliberations in March. Chatterson asked to add a fourth person to her department to do work she currently does that should be handled “by a more junior position, such as journal entries, tax adjustment and write-offs, tax billing, payroll, reviewing of all accounts, payable invoices, [and] monthly bank reconciliations.� Chatterson said her workload “is usually done

by at least three full-time positions�–a treasurer, a tax collector and a payroll/benefit/HR person. The overtime she is required to work to complete those additional duties is “overwhelming�–308.5 hours in 2013 and 371.75 hours in 2014. If council approved the hiring of a financial analyst, at a salary of between $50,500 and $65,852, it would free up time for her “to focus on more critical times, objectives and Township strategies, as well as other items that are not currently being performed, or ideally should be more often performed during the year,� she wrote. They include preparing budgets and financial reports, managing and supervising staff, reviewing finance policies and procedures, explor- Bantam Braves captain Dakota Ball battles for the puck OMHA quarter-final action against the Campbellford Colts, last weekend at Brighton arena.

ing new investment opportunities and new ways of generating revenues, maintaining the township’s asset management plan, developing and monitoring long-term financial plans, and keeping abreast of government funding programs. She looked at four other “comparable municipalities in size� in Northumberland County–Trent Hills, Brighton, Hamilton Township and Alnwick-Haldimand Township–and found they each had a treasurer and three to five support staff, whereas she has two. Chief building official Natalie Moroz-Cornell argued in favour of making permanent the part-time CBO contract position that was created last spring and which is set to come to an end March 31. Until a staff person was hired to work 28 hours a week to share her “increasing workload, the resulting burden of liability, excessive overtime, and an inability to take time off was not conducive to a healthy work environment.� Having a deputy CBO to handle permits and inspections “is critical�

to her being able to handle all the other chores demanded of her supervisory position, Moroz-Cornell said, and still have time for vacations. She said the annual salary for her deputy works out to $43,680, based on a four-day work week. The operations department asked that the part-time bylaw officer hired last year in response to “significant numbers of citizen concerns� be allowed to continue in that role at a cost of $30,000 a year. The officer currently receives seven to ten requests for assistance a week and they can take anywhere from one to ten hours to investigate and resolve, even more with complicated issues. With an officer on staff, the township is able to respond to complaints “in a timely manner,� the issue paper stated. Mayor Marc Coombs said council members discussed the need for “some kind of organizational review� at a recent strategy meeting and he noted director of operations Dan O’Brien is doing a service review of his department.

Frost and Mayor Mark Walas were directed to ask the Ontario Ombudsman, AndrÊ Marin, for advice, but none was forthcoming, according to Frost. The tape had been locked up in the deputy clerk’s office until Walas, Martinello and Councillor Steve Baker took it to listen to and decide whether to erase it or not. Walas said there was only a hissing sound on that portion of the tape, but Baker said he wanted it completely erased because there is technology to remove the hiss and get to what was being said during the lunch break. Council directed staff to take

the matter to legal counsel to determine if the fact the tape was recording was an illegal action and if the contents are legal. McDonald’s closer to serving McCafe The proposal for a McDonald’s Restaurant, a convenience store, and Shell gas station at the 401 and County Road 30 is edging closer to a done deal.

YMCA invoice raises questions about providing free day camp program By John Campbell

News - Cramahe Township - Popularity comes with a price, and it’s a lot higher than what the township had budgeted. Deputy-mayor Sandra Arthur raised the issue when she questioned an invoice the municipality had received from YMCA Northumberland for operating a free day camp for youngsters last summer. It was $12,800 over the $18,000 Cramahe had allocated for the program in its 2014 budget. Director of operations Dan O’Brien explained “attendance was 60 per cent higher� than the year before, when the YMCA ran the camp for the first time, which accounted for the higher bill.

No cap on costs had been included in the memorandum of understanding with the YMCA because staff had been directed by council “to not turn children away from the camp,� he said, so “there was no real way� to cap costs or control them. CAO/clerk Christie Alexander said staff had proposed charging a minimal amount of $5 per day last year but council turned it down so all children could attend. Councillor Tim Gilligan said council, with three new members, “can’t afford to have a free camp� that provides a babysitting service at no charge “for a lot of people in the township. I just don’t think it can continue going on the way it is. I know people

the 401 work will soon begin and there’s not enough aggregate in the White’s Road pit to cover its needs, so they’ll have to take aggregate from the new pit. Horton assured council the road would be completed by June. The matter was referred to staff to work with Northumberland County, as it is a county road. CAO Gayle Frost said a report will be brought back to council as soon as possible so CBM will be able to plan its next project. They assured council that they would not be taking the full daily mount allowed under the pit agreement until such time the turning lanes are in use.

won’t be happy to hear that.� Arthur agreed “it’s wrong [although] it’s great that the kids get the service.� But when neither staff nor the YMCA raises a red flag when costs are soaring above the contracted amount, “we’ve got a problem,� she said. “I don’t know how you would expect staff to control it when you have that many kids show up,� with directions from council not to limit their numbers, O’Brien said.

That is a question Brighton’s solicitor is expected to answer after an incident at a recent budget meeting. A private conversation may have been recorded on January 27 when Frost forgot to turn the device off when council broke for lunch. During last week’s council meeting, Councillor John Martinello wanted to know if it was illegal for the recorder to be left on during lunch break, and if the recording itself was illegal.

Dear Editor, Re: “Brighton downtown revitalization committee disbanded”; Inside Belleville, February 20, 2015. In a letter to the editor published in the February 5, 2015, Brighton Independent I stated, “It seems clear that your reporter, Mrs. Joyce Cassin, neither listened to the debate at the January 22 council meeting nor bothered to take the time to

agreement with the YMCA for this year. “If it happens twice, we’re idiots,” Councillor Ed Van Egmond said of the higher-than-expected expenditure. Councillor Don Clark said the program “can pay for itself, it’s very easy”–have parents who receive $100 a month from the federal government for child care pay toward their children’s enrollment in day camp. Van Egmond responded families use that money for essentials such as shoes.

listen to the audio record of this meeting, which is available for all at <http://brighton.ca/photos/custom/150122_003%20 OPEN.MP3>.” And once again, it seems clear that your reporter, Joyce Cassin, neither listened to the debate at the February 17 Brighton council meeting nor bothered to take the time to listen to the audio record of this meeting which is available for all to listen to at <http://brighton.ca/photos/ custom/150217_006_10(After%20conversion).mp3>. In her article, Cassin states, “In a recorded vote Mayor Mark Walas, Martinello, McMurray and Baker voted in favour of disbanding DRCA immediately.” In fact, Councillor Tadman also voted in favour of DRAC’s immediate disbandment. I cannot know why Cassin can’t get such a simple fact right. Is she trying to portray an important vote as a 4/3 vote, instead of the 5/2 vote it was? Is she disgruntled that she failed to win a seat on Brighton council? Is she so biased against some of Brighton council’s decisions–say the decision to allow the Mac’s Milk–that she will do all she can to discredit Brighton council? Whatever Cassin’s reasons are, dishonest and inaccurate reporting negatively impact the credibility of any organization. Particularly newspapers. I hope that the Brighton Independent and Metroland Media will take all actions to ensure that all issues are accurately, fully and honestly reported. John Martinello, Brighton

Congratulations to Community Futures top accredited Business Advisor!

Dear Editor, Being a 14-year-old, you would expect that I’m obsessed with technology. You might be right. All of my life I have been surrounded by technology; however, I’ll never get to experience going to a record store and fighting for the newest release. I’ll never get to experience actually needing to call my friends on the phone if I wanted to talk to them after school. Technology is great in some cases. It helps me find the information I need for school, and my presentations look neat and organized. There are also some downfalls about technology. For example, some girls are constantly taking stupid selfies. I see girls taking selfies all the time: they even take them during class. With today’s technology, teenagers are downloading songs from iTunes and other Internet sources. I prefer to use a record player when I do not feel like using my iPhone. The only place I can go to buy records in town is Sam the Record Man. That place has always truly fascinated me, ever since I was around five. I prefer records because when the needle touches the re-

cord, and there’s that little buzz, I feel like I’m actually in the studio with the artist. But some of my favourite artists do not make their CDs vinyl. Kind of like vinyl, I prefer Disney films that were released before 2000. I like to watch them and imagine all the drawings the animators had to draw by hand. Today, they are all done on computers. I prefer the movies that were created by hand because even though it may take longer, I think it gives more life into the film. People took time to really study every detail, like expressions on a character’s face when they are happy, sad, or angry. As our population goes toward DVD and Blu-ray discs, I will always enjoy VHS tapes. I like how you cannot scratch them as easily. I think people need to learn how to live again. Some of these things my children might not ever get to experience. We need to take time out of our tech life and experience the world in which we live. If we don’t, we’ll just miss it.

OPINION

Jewish mass emigration from Europe? Editorial - “We’re not waiting around here to die,” said Johan Dumas, one of the survivors of the siege at the kosher supermarket during the “Charlie Hebdo” terrorist attack in Paris in January. He had hidden with others in a basement cold room as the Islamist gunman roamed overhead and killed four Gwynne Dyer of the hostages. So, said Dumas, he was moving to Israel to be safe. It’s not really that simple. The 17 victims of the terrorist attacks included some French Christians, a Muslim policeman, four Jews, and probably a larger number of people who would have categorised themselves as “none of the above.” It was a Muslim employee in the supermarket who showed Dumas and other Jewish customers where to hide, and then went back upstairs to distract the gunman. And the Middle East isn’t exactly safe for Jews. Dumas has been through a terrifying experience. He now feels like a target in France, and no amount of reassurance from the French government that it will protect its Jewish citizens will change his mind. But Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu didn’t help much either. What Netanyahu said after the Paris attacks was this: “This week, a special team of ministers will convene to advance steps to increase immigration from France and other countries in Europe that are suffering from terrible anti-Semitism. All Jews who want to immigrate to Israel will be welcomed here warmly and with open arms. We will help you in your absorption here in our country, which is also your country.” He was at it again after a Jewish volunteer guarding a synagogue in Copenhagen was one of the two fatal victims of last week’s terrorist attack in Denmark. “Jews have been murdered again on European soil only because they were Jews,” he said, “and this wave of terrorist attacks–including murderous anti-Semitic attacks–is expected to continue.” “Of course, Jews deserve protection in every country but we say to Jews, to our brothers and sisters: Israel is your home. We are preparing and calling for the absorption of mass immigration from Europe.” As you might imagine, this did not go down well with European leaders who were being told that their countries were so anti-Semitic that they are no longer safe for Jews. It is true that five of the 19 people killed

in these two terrorist attacks in Europe since the New Year were Jewish, which is highly disproportionate. But it is also true that the killers in all cases were Islamist extremists, who also exist in large numbers in and around Israel. French President Francois Hollande said: “I will not just let what was said in Israel pass, leading people to believe that Jews no longer have a place in Europe and in France in particular.” In Denmark Chief Rabbi Jair Melchior rebuked Netanyahu, saying that “terror is not a reason to move to Israel.” The chair of Britain’s Parliamentary committee against anti-Semitism, John Mann, attacked Netanyahu’s statement that the only place Jews could now be safe was Israel. “Mr. Netanyahu made the same remarks in Paris–it’s just crude electioneering. It’s no coincidence that there’s a general election in Israel coming up …. We’re not prepared to tolerate a situation in this country or in any country in Europe where any Jews feel they have to leave.” It IS crude electioneering on Netanyahu’s part–but it is also true that even in Britain, where there have been no recent terrorist attacks, Jews are worried. Statistically, Jews are at greater risk from terrorism in Israel, but it’s much scarier being a Jewish minority in a continent where Jews were killed in death camps only 70 years ago. Given Europe’s long and disgraceful history of anti-Semitism, it’s not surprising that such sentiments persist among a small minority of the population. But at least in Western Europe (which is where most European Jews live) the great majority of people regard anti-Semitism as shameful, and most governments give synagogues and Jewish community centres special protection. What European Jews fear is not their neighbours in general, but radicalised young Islamists among their Muslim fellow citizens. The Muslim minorities in the larger Western European countries range between four and ten per cent of the population. If only one in a hundred of them is an Islamist then Jews do face a threat in those countries. But it is a very small threat. Nine Jews have been killed by Islamist terrorists in the European Union in the past year in three separate incidents (Belgium, France and Denmark). The Jewish population of the EU is just over one million, mostly living in France, the United Kingdom and Germany. Nine Jewish deaths by terrorism in a year in the EU is deplorable, but it hardly constitutes a good reason for encouraging mass immigration to Israel. Still, Netanyahu has an election to fight, and this sort of thing goes down well in Israel.

Promoting vaccines is a slow battle, but proponents are winning
 By Stephen Petrick
 Editorial - It’s been 15 years since the Ontario government introduced free flu vaccines to the public. While it would be nice to say it’s resulted in nothing but improved health and fewer illnesses for Ontarians, it would probably be safer to say it has led to 15 years of division between those who believe in vaccines and those who don’t.
For the record, I’ll say I get a flu shot every year. Doesn’t bother me and I think it works. I’ve had a lot of sick days this winter, but none where I was bed-ridden with sneezes. The flu shot seems to save me from tipping over to uselessness (though my wife would disagree.) I also get them because I’m one of those people who trusts health experts. For years, I’ve seen media reports from the province’s top doctors urging people to get the vaccine, so I do it. But I’ve learned that not everyone thinks this way. A couple of years ago I worked at a health care organization. The staff nurse came to our building one day to give us the vaccine. I thought, “Great. No need to stand in line at a mall this year.” But others in the office expressed frustration, even fear. I suppose it comes from the fact that the flu vaccines are partly made up of an inactive dose of the flu virus, so to help a person’s body build up an immunity to the flu. In my colleagues’ minds, being asked to get the flu shot was like being asked to get the flu, so some didn’t. It doesn’t matter how much literature is out there saying otherwise, some people believe the vaccines will cause more harm than good.
And that’s the biggest problem for those who believe in the importance of flu vaccines. They can present all the studies and statistics they want, but at the end of the day, each person chooses what to–or what not to–put in their body, as is their human right. And no court is ever going to force someone to take medication against his or her will. If an Ontario court can’t force the family of a cancer stricken First Nations

girl to undergo chemotherapy on the wishes of doctors–as we learned in a well-publicized case involving McMaster Children’s Hospital last November–it can’t force anyone to take the flu shot.
But organizations can take some measures to encourage it. At the hospital I worked for we had a policy: if there was an outbreak of the flu only those who could present documentation showing they had the flu shot recently could work. Those who hadn’t been immunized would be at risk of being sent home without pay. Maybe acting on such policies is the only thing health care organizations can do.
But, in the meantime, vaccine supporters can also read some positive signs into some recent news that show just how isolated unbelievers have become. At Queen’s University, an instructor for a health course, Melody Torcolacci, is under investigation after several students complained about her teachings. Apparently, a power point presentation as part of her course suggested that flu vaccines may not be safe for pregnant women and that measles vaccines can lead to autism, points that have been debunked by the scientific community.
And then there’s the case of Jennifer White, the Markham mom who took to Facebook to condemn people for not vaccinating their children, after her infant son had to be isolated out of fears he had caught the measles. Her post went viral, with hundreds of thousands of people sharing it, leading many to write and say they’ll reconsider their stances against vaccines. Because no one wants to scare a newborn baby and their mom.
 The fight to encourage vaccinations is a slow battle and it will take people like White and whistle-blowing Queen’s students to move it along. But now it seems that believers are winning and not getting vaccinations is becoming little taboo. I’ll conclude by stealing a line from comedian Rick Mercer: Don’t be a prick, get one.

Cutting off your nose Dear Editor, The report in February 19 Independent, “Brighton downtown revitalization committee disbanded� raises the interesting question of how a written request by one member of council “to be removed from the Downtown Revitalization Committee� ended up with a total disbanding of the committee. The details from your report and a careful review of the meeting audio recording make it clear that the two council representatives appointed to this committee did not feel able to work with some of the committee members citing a feeling of negativism associated with posters in the windows of some downtown businesses. There was no report that the committee was dysfunctional or that it was not doing the job it was created to do for the municipality, just that the two council representatives felt unable to continue and requesting to be relieved of their appointment. Once the resolution was on the floor Councillor Martinello acted swiftly to propose an amendment to disband the whole committee stating “two members of Council say it is not working and I trust their judgement.� Unfortunately nobody challenged his

statement, but in truth that is not what was reported by the two members at the council meeting. Notwithstanding its false premise, the resolution passed with a 5 - 2 vote leaving this observer wondering what the underlying reason for disbanding the committee was. I hope it wasn’t simply a question of suppressing dissenting opinion; I believe it was J. Brookes Spector who said “when criticism dies, democracy dies.� Be that as it may, Brighton has now abandoned the OMAFRA funded program; we don’t know if existing grants will be rescinded leaving the taxpayers with the full bill for work done to date, and it leaves Brighton with a questionable record that may be detrimental to future funding applications. As well as those concerns we see another pillar of Brighton’s Economic Development Strategy lying in tatters, just at a time that neighbouring communities are doubling down on their downtown revitalization and community development projects. My mother would have called it “cutting off your nose to spite your face.� She would have been right. Dave Cutler, Brighton

Local health unit seeks input on future work News - Trent Hills - The local health unit is asking for the public’s input to strengthen ways the organization can accomplish the work proposed under its three new strategic priorities. The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit drafted three strategic priorities designed to help guide its work through to 2016. It is now asking for the public’s feedback to assess the relevance of these priorities and awareness of its programs and services. The strategic priorities are: Social Determinants of Health, Mental Health, and Communications. For each priority, the Health Unit has developed a series of actions and indicators of success. “Through our many programs and services, the Health Unit works with a variety of individuals and organizations,� said Medi-

We are now asking the people who receive our programs and services what they think about the actions and indicators of success for each priority.� Area residents are being asked to visit the Health Unit’s website <http:// www.hkpr.on.ca/About/ StrategicPlan.aspx> where they will find the Strategic Priorities Chart 2014-2016 and a link to a short online survey where they can comment on the priorities, actions and indicators of success and also indicate use and awareness of our programs and services.

“Pathetic” condition of Ventress Road has resident fuming

By John Campbell

News - Cramahe Township - Ventress Road is a “terrible, terrible” road that’s been neglected for years and it’s time something was done to fix it, one of its residents told council last week. “This road has not been rehabilitated in decades,” and is in “pathetic” shape, turning into mud when wet, and throwing up clouds of dust when dry, John Lander said. A major problem is that its ditches “are completely filled up with trees, shrubs, rocks, whatever” and all the culverts are plugged. Every year water flows off farmers’ fields onto Ventress and down to the intersection with Little Lake Road, causing washouts, said Lander, who was making his second visit to council in recent years to complain about the road. “Nobody in the township of Cramahe has done anything to improve that road in decades,” he said. “It’s

absolutely reprehensible that we have to put up with that condition in this day and age. It just isn’t right … We need something, we don’t need people to neglect us, which has happened for years and years.” But Ventress is not the only road in the municipality in need of attention. “You just described 50 per cent of the roads in Cramahe Township,” Councillor Ed Van Egmond told Lander. “Unfortunately, that’s the state … the roads are [in]” and Ventress isn’t on the list of those that were singled out as priorities for rehabilitation in a roads needs study that was done. The public works department has already submitted a pair of issue papers calling for $200,000 to be spent this year on Cowie, Dale, Penryn, Bonnet and Inglis roads. Their rehabilitation is part of a proposed fouryear project to rehabilitate sections of each road at a cost of $80,000 per kilome-

community partners and hope that their input can strengthen the work we do under these priorities,” said Dr. Noseworthy. Once the survey results have been tabulated, the Health Unit will review comments and make any necessary changes to the priorities, actions and indicators of success. The final plan will be presented at a future Board of Health meeting and posted on

the Health Unit’s website. The HKPR District Health Unit provides public health programs and services to approximately 172,000 residents of the counties of Northumberland Haliburton and the City of Kawartha Lakes. The Health Unit employs approximately 140 employees in offices based in Port Hope, Brighton, Lindsay and Haliburton.

tre. The department has also recommended that the township spend $300,000 to complete phase two of Purdy Road’s rehabilitation. Council will soon go on a road tour of the township to determine where work needs to be done as part of its preparations for the 2015 budget, but Van Egmond cautioned that’s no

guarantee Ventress will be included. “We can sit here and give you lip service but it’s not going to help anybody,” Van Egmond said. “We might as well be honest with you, if it doesn’t fall into one of the higher needs roads it will probably be bypassed again, and that’s just the way it is.” “It’s disgusting that we have to put up

with [the state of Ventress Road],” Lander said. “It’s mind-boggling.” Mayor Marc Coombs said “the first step is to have it properly ditched and a culvert [installed], that would help a lot.” He gave Lander council’s word it would follow up his complaint and let him know what it plans to do.

Cramahe council members critical of building department ing department came under does business. Deputy-mayor Sandra Arthur News - Cramahe Town- fire last week by two memship - The township’s build- bers of council for the way it launched the attack by saying the department has “a bad reputation” among builders of being difficult to work with. “There are contractors that will not come to Cramahe,” as a result, she charged. Arthur’s outburst February 17 was triggered by a document chief building official Natalie Moroz-Cornell had put together on “important things to know” when someone obtains a building permit.

up “making it worse.” The chief building official countered “the problem was they were getting away with many things that [she] had no time to follow up with,” which put the municipality “at risk” and increased its liability. With the extra help she was given, “we’re able to follow up and do a proper job,” she said. Before that, “I was getting steamrolled and bowled over and bullied.” Van Egmond said “all these guys” are overseen by Tarion (a private corporation that licenses and regulates new home builders, and ensures they abide by the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act). “If there’s a problem, Tarion makes them pay,” he said. The “whole scary scenario of the township being held liable is just fiction.” Moroz-Cornell pointed out that “not everyone is a Tarion builder,” adding “you hear the bad but you don’t always hear the good; there’s a lot of good out there.” Van Egmond agreed but insisted the township has to make the “working relationship [with builders] better” and it was in

her “court to do that … We have a problem and it’s up to you to fix it.” “We should all help with the solution if we can,” Mayor Marc Combs said, ending the discussion. Moroz-Cornell said in an email later that she plans to start handing out the new document with building permits beginning in March. It makes clear no changes are to be made to a site plan, layout or structure, or plumbing fixtures added without informing the building department and obtaining its approval. Failure to do so will result in cancellation of an inspection. Applicants will be required to sign the document saying they have understood its contents. “The plan is to sit down and have a friendly discussion with the applicant when they pick up their permit,” Moroz-Cornell wrote. “We want to be proactive and eliminate potential problems by communicating at the front end, not waiting until there is a problem on site.”
She said she has received no complaints from any builder about her department.

they make these changes,” there wouldn’t be a problem when it comes time to do an inspection, Moroz-Cornell said, but “they just keep blindsiding us with these changes.” Councillor Ed Van Egmond jumped in by charging the building department was overreacting to the situation. “I can understand when it comes to the structural integrity of a building,” he said, but there are changes made that can be approved on site. “What you’re doing is using a sledgehammer to deal with something that needs kid gloves,” Van Egmond told Moroz-Cornell, saying he’s received “a bunch of complaints” since the township hired a parttime staff person last spring to help relieve her workload. “The person you have on board is too much of a stickler or she’s trying too hard [and] the guys can’t work with that,” he said. “Two builders have told me personally they will never build here again. “There’s a problem in Cramahe Township and we have to resolve that,” he continued, but the information sheet MorozCornell had drawn up will end

While sodium is an essential nutrient, the human body does not need a lot of it to reap its benefits. Bread, processed meats and soups are some of the major contributors of dietary sodium, so men, women and even children, who the AHA notes are far morelikely to develop high blood pressure as adults if they consume a high-sodium diet as a child, should study packaging on these items to ensure they aren’t overloaded with sodium.

Consuming excessive amounts of sodium not only affects your health but also may affect your appearance. A diet that’s rich in sodium has long been linked to a host of health problems, including high blood pressure, stroke, kidney disease, and stomach cancer. But consuming too much sodium also leads to increased water retention, which can cause weight gain and make men and women appear puffy and bloated. According to the American Heart Association, the recommended daily sodium intake is 1,500 milligrams. But the AHA notes that the average American consumes more than double that amount on

tion. It’s also cost sensitive. They get professional training with no pressure.� Classes are small and anybody from three to 15 is welcome to register. The first class is March 3. Call 613-394-4891 for more information. “It’s all about meeting the needs of the community,� adds Jason Wryghte.

A petting zoo party brings the magic of animals to your home. Kids tend to be in awe of animals of all different shapes and sizes, and a birthday party that showcases different creatures can be both fun and educational.

and a short enough time to ensure animals do not become aggravated. Petting zoo parties are good for children of all ages, and they may even make an entertaining addition to parties catering primarily to adults. When throwing a petting zoo party for a youngster, it is important that the child and his or her friends truly love animals. This can make the party that much more fun.

is really helpful and encouraging to little kids who get a helping hand from YAC on where to spend the money,” Carson said. “I know when they first get the idea of having money they kind of have ideas that are maybe not really reasonable. I think that our guidance really helps them. It is better when they have a more attainable goal; they probably feel better at the end of it,” he added. “Students from YAC met with Miss [Julie] Clark’s class at St. Mary’s and talked about what they thought their needs might be,” he explained. For Hannah Hardy, a Grade 7 student at St. Mary’s, the process was a very positive experience. “I remember when the people came into our school and asked us what our idea was and told us about the program,” she said. “We decided to use our money on gym equipment . . . I love the program, I am so happy,” she added. Hardy likes to play volleyball and soccer and new balls, to replace those that were torn from so much use, are on the list of equipment to be replaced.

The YAC operates as a Campbellford District High School youth committee and a new council is formed at the beginning of each school year. Members of YAC provide guidance to the Foundation Board on grant applications to the Children and Youth Recreation Endowment Fund for worthwhile youth projects in the community. One of the core YAC activities is the HATCH grants program. “This program also gives us an opportunity to talk to the schools about YAC and how they are making a difference,” said Muldoon. “This also shows the elementary students that high school students can be good positive role models doing things in the community,” he added. One of those high school students is Nick Carson, who is in Grade 12 at CDHS and a member of the council (YAC). He and other YAC members had visited the school earlier this year, one of four they visit in Trent Hills, to meet with students to talk about where they would like to use the grant they received approval for this year. This year grants were approved for Kent Public School, Hillcrest Public School and CDHS. “I think the HATCH program

News - Campbellford - Students helping students “HATCH” plans at their schools to improve their day-to-day activities is again a reality. Made possible with money from the Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation’s (CSCF) Helping Assure Tomorrow’s Charitable Hearts (HATCH) Grants Program, students are deciding where to best spend the funds. “Each year schools can apply for a HATCH grant. It has to be student driven so the students decide what they think would improve their school,” said Patrick Muldoon a member of the foundation’s board and community liaison advisor. He is also a teacher at Hillcrest Public School. Muldoon was at St. Mary’s Elementary School last Friday to present the students with a $1,000 grant from the foundation’s HATCH program, to use as they saw fit. As an advisor Muldoon helps the foundation’s Youth Advisory Council (YAC) carry out its mandate, to bring youthful energy and ideas to the Campbellford/ Seymour community. In turn, YAC provides local youth with a voice and a forum.

Campbellford motorist rescues mother and infant from burning car

News - Trent Hills - Little did Garneth Fry know that when he left to go on a fishing trip last Saturday his plans would take a detour. Circumstance seemed to have put him in the right place at the right time and as a result of his own quick action he saved a mom and her infant from tragedy. “I was going fishing on Crowe Lake and ended up going to my dad’s where my buddy was, but he wasn’t home,� said Fry, as he related

what happened that fateful day. That day Northumberland OPP had responded to a 911 call, a single motor vehicle collision on County Road 30 near the 12th Line West on February 21 at noon. The vehicle involved was a minivan and it was reportedly on fire. Officers spoke to the witness at the scene and that witness was Fry. He advised police that he observed a southbound minivan lose control, skid into a

ditch then strike several trees. As he was stopping to lend assistance, he also saw that the vehicle was on fire. “As soon as I saw the fire I yelled at the driver to get out of her vehicle, it’s on fire, but she said she couldn’t walk and had a baby with her,â€? Fry told the Independent. It was at that moment he reacted. “So I just jumped in the ditch, grabbed the baby from the back in a rear facing car seat ‌ the driver couldn’t get out on her own, she had broken her ankle on both sides so I got her out too,â€? he explained. According to the police report, “The 35-year-old Campbellford resident pulled the injured driver out of the minivan as well as her five-month-old infant while the vehicle continued to burn.â€? “The fire was in the front of the vehicle, on the driver’s side,â€? said Fry. Police, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Trent Hills Fire Department attended the scene. Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake said the fire had started in the engine compartment and was travelling into the passenger area when firefighters arrived. The fire was contained to the vehicle and quickly extinguished.

Both the mother and infant, who are from the Trent Hills area, were transported by EMS to a local hospital for treatment. The driver sustained non-life-threatening injuries and the infant, “who had been restrained in a rear facing child seat,â€? was uninjured. Fry, “who risked his own safetyâ€?, was also uninjured, stated the OPP. Officers at the scene commended Fry for his selfless act and will be submitting his name for a commendation. Icy roads and blowing snow were contributing factors in the collision. Talking to Fry after the rescue, at his home in Campbellford, he said he doesn’t think of himself as a hero. “I’ve seen people go off the road before. I always keep a strap or chain in the back of my truck and I’ve pulled people out of the ditch before, but nothing like this has ever happened,â€? he said. It wasn’t until after the rescue when he had returned to his dad’s home for a coffee that all of it hit him. “I just started shaking when I realized what had just happened,â€? he admitted. All he could think about later was what if that had been his family. Fry said he is just glad he was there

Garneth Fry of Campbellford decided to go ice fishing last Saturday but little did he know his trip would take a detour.

to help. “I do feel good about it,� he commented. “I’m just happy that both of them are alive and well.� Fry did go ice fishing later that day, a sport he enjoys, a sport where he can relax, something he said he really needed to do that fateful afternoon.

A Look Inside Our February 2015 Newsletter Breaking down barriers: Council receives annual update on County’s Multi-Year Accessibility Plan

In a presentation to Council, Human Resources/Accessibility Coordinator Kirsty Brown provided a broad perspective on disabilities, pointing out that they can affect anyone, at any time of life, with some being visible and some not. This perspective provided important context for Ms. Brown’s review of barriers to accessibility, and what measures the County has put in place to date to tackle such barriers. She confirmed the County’s commitment to the four core principles of Dignity, Independence, Integration and Equal Opportunity for all. This presentation was part of the County’s annual report to Council on actions taken to meet requirements under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).

Brighton builder wins cross-border challenge By Joyce Cassin

News - Brighton - Gordon Tobey Developments has made the news once again, this time bringing home the gold from the 2015 RESNET Cross Border Home Builder Challenge. This competition helps promote the utilization of the HERS (Home Energy Rating System), and Tobey was recognized for the lowest HERS score in the Canadian Custom Builder category, with a score of 36. According to the RESNET website, a standard new home would have a rating of 100. A rating of 36 means that

a Gordon Tobey home is 64 per cent more energy efficient than a standard new home built to code, and 94 per cent more efficient than a typical resale. “The Index is based on an assessment by a certified Home Energy Rater who evaluates the energy efficiency of a home and assigning it a relative performance score. The lower the number, the more energy efficient the home. “The energy efficiency score is based on variables such as exterior walls (both above and below grade), floors over unconditioned spaces, ceilings and roofs, windows and doors, vents and ductwork, HVAC

systems, water heating system, and your thermostat, among other elements,� Steve Baden, Executive Director of RESNET, said in a press release. Stephen Tobey says that the average Tobey home is constructed a minimum 30 per cent better than the Ontario Building Code, and for another $4,000 to $5,000, it can be rated even lower. The winning home is solar panel ready, as well as gray water ready, meaning the rating can go as low as below a zero once these systems are installed. “This house is unbelievably

comfortable,� Tobey says. “The nicest thing about it is, it regulates its own humidity.� And with the temperatures plunging well below zero this winter, dryness can be an issue, he says. There are several systems to heat the different floors stemming from a solar water heating system which both heats the house and supplies hot water for household use. “There’s a big strong push out there to make homes super efficient,� he says. He adds that the 3,000-square-foot

home costs less than $1,000 per year for heating/cooling and water. And the furnace is kept at 74ÂşF. “The gist of it is, a better house can be built at an affordable price ‌ it’s not unattainable,â€? he says. “The future is here now.â€? Gordon Tobey has won numerous awards of distinction and excellence from Canadian Home Builders, Ontario Home Builders, and local home builder associations, Conservation Bureau recognition, as well local business excellence awards. This is the first international award they’ve received.

MPAC clarifies some details about property evaluation News - Quinte West – Peter Moran of Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) wants to clarify some details about property evaluation. “The website where a property owner can obtain information on their property

and find out more about MPAC and how we valued their property is <www. aboutmyproperty.ca>,� he says. He notes that a property owner can file a Request for Reconsideration on their property each year. A residential, farm and managed

forest property owner must file a Request for Reconsideration by March 31. Once MPAC has reviewed this we will either make a change to the property assessment through Minutes of Settlement or send them a letter stating that there is no change to be made to their

property. At that point they have 90 days to file an appeal with the Assessment Review Board. Commercial Industrial and Multi-Residential property owners can appeal their properties directly to the Assessment Review Board by March 31.

News - Cramahe Township - Popularity comes with a price, and it’s a lot higher than what the township had budgeted. Deputy-mayor Sandra Arthur raised the issue when she questioned an invoice the municipality had received from YMCA Northumberland for operating a free day camp for youngsters last summer. It was $12,800 over the $18,000 Cramahe had allocated for the program in its 2014 budget. Director of operations Dan O’Brien explained “attendance was 60 per cent higher” than the year before, when the YMCA ran the camp for the first time, which accounted for the higher bill. No cap on costs had been included in the memorandum of understanding with the YMCA because staff had been directed by council “to not turn children away from the camp,” he said, so “there was no real way” to cap costs or control them. CAO/clerk Christie Alexander said staff had proposed charging a minimal amount of $5 per day last

year but council turned it down so all children could attend. Councillor Tim Gilligan said council, with three new members, “can’t afford to have a free camp” that provides a babysitting service at no charge “for a lot of people in the township. I just don’t think it can continue going on the way it is. I know people won’t be happy to hear

YMCA invoice raises questions about providing free day camp program higher-than-expected expenditure. Councillor Don Clark said the program “can pay for itself, it’s very easy”–have parents who receive $100 a month from the federal government for child care pay toward their children’s enrollment in day camp. Van Egmond responded families use that money for essentials such as shoes.

Angels of Care never fail to come through for hospital News - Campbellford - The eighth annual Angels of Care Campaign raised $165,448 for the purchase of high-priority equipment at Campbellford Memorial Hospital. CMH will use the money to buy arthroscopic instruments, specialized lights, a glidescope and a vital signs monitor for the operating rooms, hospital president and CEO Brad Hilker said in a news release. “We have added outpatient orthopedic surgery which brings the convenience of having surgeries such as a knee and hip arthroscopy ‘closer to home’ for patients in the Campbellford Memorial Hospital catchment area,” he said. Last year, more than 2,000 surgical procedures were performed at the hospital and that number will grow as new services and efficiencies are implemented. Calvin Newman, chair of Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation, thanked donors, local businesses and hospital staff for their generosity in helping the hospital to add “new and enhanced surgical services.” Donors included Sally and Gord

Wilkins, who explained why they support CMH. “We’re cottagers in the area and have used the emergency department at Campbellford Memorial Hospital on several occasions,” Sally Wilkins said. “We are so thankful and pleased with the treatment and care we received. The retired couple are grateful the hospital, which they’ve used on occasion, is close by. “Gord is allergic to bee stings and carries an EPI pen,” his wife said. “He’s been stung a couple of times resulting in an unexpected trip to the ER.”
A broken ankle has landed Sally Wilkins there as well. “We love the hospital and we’ve always found the care wonderful and quick,” she said. Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation will continue to raise funds for the Surgical Services Campaign over the next few months.

What goes up should come down

News - Brighton - Compared to the 2014 budget, where staff gave council a wish list, and council whittled it down to what it considered an acceptable level, this year’s budget began with the bare bones as requested by council, and it’s been on a steady rise. The original blended budget tax rate provided by staff on January 6, was 3.64 per cent. It increased to 4.96 per cent after that meeting, then up to 6.32 per cent as of February 5. After the February 19 budget meeting, the rate had risen to 7.38 per cent. But that’s not necessarily what the bottom line will be whenever council gets through with it, inferred Mayor Mark Walas. For instance, council members gave direction to staff to move forward with the tender process for road work, but once the tenders are in, council does not have to approve them. Chief Administrative Officer Gayle Frost said she was concerned with holding off on getting the projects out to tender, allowing other municipalities to get tenders out before Brighton, and therefore costing taxpayers more. She recommended at least moving forward with the road projects, which council dealt with. Staff got the go-ahead to tender the Young/George Street project, from Sanford to the northern limit of the former Town of Brighton, including Singleton. Estimated costs for the projects is $2.6 million for Young/George and a further $42,000 for Singleton. Also, in order to provide joining sidewalks

along Singleton, a further $46,000 was included as a separate item for tender purposes. “The sidewalk was put on as a provisional item,” Walas said. “We’re going to rebuild the street. How ridiculous would it look to put that street in … and not put the sidewalk on.” Bay Street was also included at an estimated cost of $215,950 including watermains, culverts, ditching and road resurfacing overlay. The estimated life of the road is ten years according to public works director Andrew Drzewiecki. Councillor John Martinello wanted to know why sanitary sewers were not included in the project scope and was told the sewers were in good shape and they would definitely outlast the lifespan of the road by at least 30 years. “I guess I go back to what Mayor Walas said, we would look stupid if we rebuilt a road and not put a sidewalk on it,” Martinello said. “We’d look even stupider if we rebuilt a road and didn’t put all the, especially if we’re ripping up the road, and not put the watermain in.” Environmental Services manager, Catherine Chisholm said the watermain was installed in 1975, the PVC pipe has a lifespan of 60 years, and is scheduled for replacement in 2035. Other road projects would be tendered in conjunction with Northumberland County; Telephone Road, Old Wooler Road and Scriver Road. Staff were given direction to put out the tender for the three municipal projects. Frost assured council members that all tenders would go out, subject to

council approval. The planning department was asking for $2,000 to purchase a laptop. Funds saved from the dissolution of the Pine Ridge Municipal Planning Agency, approximately $23,000, could be used to pay for a student planner to perform some of the tasks necessitated by the change in the provincial policy statement. The balance would be placed in reserves toward natural heritage systems mapping as required by the province. The proposed planning budget was actually a 0.71 per cent decrease, but owing to costs associated with Ontario Municipal Board appeals, an estimated $15,000 had to be added to the 2015 budget. According to planner Ken Hurford, the owner of the Pump gas station has filed an appeal against council’s decision to allow a Mac’s convenience store and gas bar at the corner of Elizabeth and Prince Edward Streets. Mac’s would pick up the majority of the costs of the hearing because council voted in favour. But taxpayers would be footing the bill for the Kuipers appeal for a proposal to build a semi-detached dwelling on Chapel Street. Council voted against it on February 2. Hurford said the approximate cost to defend the municipality’s position would be $15,000. Staff time is the responsibility of the taxpayers as well. The vast majority of the costs are in the preparation, and that’s where most of the money is spent, Hurford said. The final budget item discussed was the library. Included in the budget was $55,000 for additional staffing, but Councillor Roger McMurray and Martinello made it clear they wouldn’t support the budget if the staff increase was included. Walas suggested reducing the library budget by ten per cent, bringing the total budget down to $360,500. “We have made statements where we are going to be supportive of our library board, and hope to do an expansion, and what that’s going to entail with service levels,” Walas said. “That still gives a little wiggle room and flexibility for some staffing level there.” Walas and Councillors Laura Vink and Brian Ostrander preferred the ten per cent reduction option over reducing the budget by $55,000. In order for council to understand the implications of the proposed reduction, Frost suggested staff bring a document to the next budget meeting to clarify what it would be. “We’ll rationalize everything so you know what you’re dealing with,” Frost said. Council will reconvene to continue budget deliberations on Tuesday, March 10, and Tuesday, March 17, both at 9 a.m. in council chambers.

Downtown revitalization committee disbanded

News - Brighton - A motion by Brighton Councillors John Martinello and Roger McMurray to have Councillor Steve Baker removed from the downtown revitalization committee last Tuesday night led to a two-for-one deal. Councillor Mary Tadman said, “I have supported the Brighton downtown all my life and now feel quite alienated by some shop owners. The negativity from posters in some windows downtown and the online attacks have convinced me that I would not have a good working relationship with some members. I therefore ask council to withdraw my name from this committee.” Martinello asked to amend his motion to include disbanding the committee effective immediately. Martinello said the divisiveness is

“beyond repair,” and in a later statement, wrote, “In my view, there was clear indication of a broken and irreparable relationship between council and DRAC. So I moved, and Councillor McMurray seconded, that DRAC be immediately disbanded.” Councillor Brian Ostrander said he could support the two council members leaving the committee, but could not support disbanding the committee, and asked that the motion be divided to deal with the resignation and disbanding separately. The motion was lost. Ostrander voiced his opinion that he was planning to vote against the motion, not that he doesn’t respect his fellow councillors who wished to be removed from the committee, and understood that they may be frustrated and not getting along with people, but because

of the portion regarding disbanding the committee. Tadman she “never had any disagreements with anybody in the downtown core, so it’s not because I can’t get along with people; it’s because of the sense that I can’t in all honesty work together with people who feel quite negative towards me.” Baker said he spoke with three of the members of the committee and, “quite honestly didn’t see any progress.” In a recorded vote, Mayor Mark Walas, Martinello, McMurray and Baker voted in favourofdisbanding DRAC effective immediately. Council did not

provide direction to council as to whether the downtown revitalization project would continue without the committee. In a later interview with Chief Administrative Officer Gayle Frost, she said she would have to contact Heather Candler at the Ontario Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Rural Affairs to discuss funding. “If the project doesn’t go to completion, I’m not sure whether we’ll receive the grant we applied for last year,” Frost

said. She said the funding request for work completed in 2014 was submitted and not yet paid. Work done this year, which included the launch on January 18 and its subsequent resident and business surveys, have not yet been completed, nor invoiced for. “We could stop the process and regroup, but I’ll need direction from council as to what they want to do,” Frost said.

Senior jazz combo member “finest musician” high school has ever had says teacher

News - Campbellford - The bar is set high for music students at Campbellford District High School (CDHS), who perennially shine at MusicFest Canada’s national festival. One hurdle they have to clear each year to qualify for the festival that celebrates student excellence in musical performance is to excel at a regional MusicFest event. They can check off that box now, after the school’s senior jazz ensemble and senior jazz combo each earned gold at the MusicFest Southern Ontario Band Festival held last week, which earned them a spot at The Nationals that will take place in May in Toronto. The intermediate jazz ensemble was awarded a bronze. Three students won leadership awards: Peter Wowk, Meaghan Steinmann and Rahul Patel. Wowk, a Grade 12 student who plays the saxophone, is “probably the finest musician we’ve ever had at CDHS,” said music teacher Dave Noble. He wrote one of the tunes performed by the senior jazz combo and arranged another, an “impressive all-around” performance, he said. He put the combo together and “mentored” its members through rehearsals, “and away they went,” Noble said. “This is the ultimate teacher’s dream”–a student who masters what he’s been taught and then passes his knowledge on to others. There was a memorable moment that

occurred while the senior jazz ensemble was playing. During a drum solo at the end of the epic Channel One Suite, one of drummer Lucas Graham’s sticks went flying more than a foot in the air and did a full rotation and “he catches it on the way down and continues the solo,” Noble said. “It was beautiful to watch … unplanned and totally seamless. It was really hilarious and amazing at the same time.” He and his students are preparing to play in perhaps “the biggest show” the school has ever done during his lengthy tenure at Campbellford, the 20th anniversary of CDHS jazz, which will take place at Cheryl and Paul Langevin and Shirley Irvine represented the Brighton Stirling Festival Theatre March 28. Lawn Bowling Club. The club is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. “I’m bringing back some of the Photo: John Campbell wonderful graduates we have had over the years who have made careers of music,” Noble said, naming a few, such as Virginia Hadfield, Brian Murphy, Samantha Marineau and Chelsey Bennett. “They’re going to play with us or sing a song,” he said, and they’ll be joined by other alumni “who were really fine musicians” but chose other careers. As with the school’s other appearances at the Stirling theatre, the event will be a fundraiser for Campbellford Memorial Hospital. “It’s going to be an incredible night that will wrap twenty years up really beautifully,” Noble said. “It’s going to be Local historian Dan Buchanan talked about Brighton’s “Dance Hall Daze.” super special.” Photo: John Campbell Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for youth.

Residents urged to ensure measles vaccinations up to date “Because measles can easily be spread from person to person, local residents are asked to check their records to ensure they and their family members are up to date on their vaccinations for measles,� said Anne Marie Holt, director of communicable disease control, epidemiology and evaluation with the HKPR District Health Unit. “Vaccination against measles is the most effective way to protect yourself and your loved ones.� Currently in Ontario, protection against measles is provided in two doses of vaccine, both of which are publicly funded. The first dose is given soon after a child’s first birthday as part of the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine. The second dose of the vaccine is given to children just prior to entering school (between four and six years of age) as the MMRV vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella and varicella).

News - Trent Hills - With measles circulating in parts of southern Ontario, local health officials are asking people to ensure they are up to date on their own immunizations. As February 11, no lab-confirmed cases of measles had been reported by the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit in its area. The health unit covers Haliburton County, Northumberland County and the City of Kawartha Lakes. However, measles cases have been confirmed in Toronto, Niagara Region and York Region. While the risk posed by measles to most people is low, the Health Unit is encouraging area residents to take precautions by checking their vaccination records. In a press release the Health Unit noted that measles is a highly infectious disease that can particularly affect infants under one year of age, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.

Flames need win at home to advance to Kawartha final

Joe Crothers gathers in the puck in Campbellford District High School Flames’ 6 - 2 win over the Lindsay CVI Spartans February 19. Photo: John Campbell By John Campbell

Sports - Campbellford - Playing without a full roster, the Campbellford District High School Flames fell 4 - 3 in a shootout to the Lindsay CVI Spartans last Friday and needed to win Tuesday at

home to advance to the next round of the Kawartha High School Hockey League playoffs. Campbellford was blanked in the shootout while Lindsay scored twice to even the best-of-three series at 1 - 1.

“We didn’t have many of our players,� coach Brad Mountain said Monday, because of other commitments and a one-game suspension being served by a forward. But the fourth-year coach expected to have everyone back for the deciding game, except star defenceman Jakob Brahaney who played in the team’s 6 - 2 win February 19 and then left the next day to play for Team Ontario at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George, British Columbia. The winner of Tuesday’s match will advance to the Kawartha final, a four-team tournament. In their win to open the series, the Flames were led by Ethan Perry, Caleb Crothers and Nate Dunkley, who each scored a pair

of goals. Bailey Fife was in net for the win. The teams were tied 2 - 2 after two periods. With a record of eight wins, one loss and two ties, the Flames finished the season in second place behind the Haliburton Red Hawks, so it came as a surprise the team was in tough with a foe that played .500 hockey in the regular schedule and had lost to the Flames 10 0 back in December. “Playoff hockey, you never know

what to expect,â€? Mountain said after the first game. “We came out flat ‌ and then brought our normal game for the third.â€? Prior to the start of the series, Flames assistant coach Doug Mathew described his team as “a good, young clubâ€? whose players work hard and have “a little bit of grit, a little bit of talent.â€? Its key players, he said, are Brahaney, and forwards Nate Dunkley and Matt Sherwin, all of whom play Triple A minor hockey.

Enthusiasm revives Eldorado sled dog race

By Diane Sherman

Sports - Eldorado - After a lapse of four years sled dog racing has returned to Eldorado. A fledgling group of enthusiasts organized a 30-mile race, February 21, from the Madoc Township hall. Marmora musher Shane Cox, Omiske Kennels, set out to bring the sport back to Eldorado where the Gold Cup was held until 2011, when volunteer support began to wane as older enthusiasts stepped down. Eldorado hall had once been an overnight stop for mushers leaving Marmora in the first race of the Triple Crown long-distance circuit, a 150mile run through the back roads of Twin Sisters in Marmora and Lake, across to Eldorado, up to Gilmour and back into Marmora. The route changed a few times, but Eldorado was always a warming depot with hot meals and story telling. Mushers from across Canada and the United States met in Marmora for the first race, then went on to a 200-mile run in Maine before a 400-mile run across Labrador. Veteran musher Don McEwen, of Eldorado, said the sport has declined over the years as mushers aged and few new ones have taken up the sport. Cox and a small band of volunteers hope to renew interest and recruit more helpers. If participation warrants, they might bring back the six-dog, ten-mile sprints. Eight mushers who came out for this race were grateful for a chance to run their dogs. Winner of the sportsmanship trophy, Thomas Pryde, Windrift Kennels, came in third in the 30-mile run. He and fellow musher Renata Sauder drove

from Severn, near Orillia. First-place finisher Keri Buttle is from South River, north of Huntsville. Ken and Jacob Golton of L’Amable hosted her and her dogs overnight, then came to Eldorado to race. Jacob took second place, with Ken finishing fourth. The eldest musher, Frank Horn, is familiar with the Eldorado trail. He ran in the Gold Cup until it folded. Older now, Horn says he doesn’t travel more than a couple of hours to race, so, Eldorado, a short distance from home in Elphin near Maberly, was an opportunity to let his dogs get out on the trail again. For 14-year-old Brady McConkey, of Wellington, the race was a chance to hone his skills and give his dogs experience, as it was for Renata Sauder who was breaking in a young lead dog. Cox became an enthusiast 17 years ago when his family hosted a checkpoint at Twin Sisters during the Triple Crown. He, his wife Nicole and their children, and extended family, are still excited about the sport. Debbie and Tom McFarlane took on the job of timekeepers, as they do for the Marmora sled dog races. Robert Derry had the job of trail boss while his wife Carol rallied local vendors to set up in the hall where the Madoc Lions Club hosted the canteen and sponsored rental of the recreation centre. Twenty-nine different sponsors from Tweed, Madoc and Marmora contributed prizes and funds in support of the event. Organizers acknowledged support of sponsors, landowners, and volunteers. They look forward to another meet in 2016. Young musher Liam McFarlane was not deterred by blowing snow, nor were a dozen other entrants in the Little Nippers race at Eldorado Saturday.

There are about 54 films being shown. As a longtime representative of P.A.C.E. Graham is no stranger to showcasing movies about the medical use of marijuana, something he has done for years here in town at the former Grindhouse CafĂŠ, just doors from his home. He is very familiar with reaching out to people with his message having also manned a booth at the National Women’s show in Toronto a few years ago and the National Home Show. “DocFest will be like going to TIFF [Toronto International Film Festival] for me,â€? he said with a grin. The organization P.A.C.E. is the official presenter of the documentary which is a two-hour film directed by Brett Harvey and is billed as “The truth behind the marijuana debate.â€?

Local author shares early history By Diane Sherman

Lifestyles - Madoc - Madoc Public Library recently hosted locally born author Marjorie McMullen-Parks. Born as Marjorie Brownson, she was raised in the Spry Settlement area where a road is named after her ancestors and the Brownson Rapids still flow swiftly nearly 170 years after Martin Brownson settled there. (Marjorie is adamant about the spelling of the original name, “It is with a ‘W’; many have changed the spelling, but, the original name is

Brownson, not Bronson.”) Percy Brownson, Marjorie’s father, was the youngest grandchild of Martin, who gained his land through service in the War of 1812. The novel, titled Footprints In America, an historical novel, spans a period of 375 years she explains in the introduction. The book relates the time from 1636 and ends with the settlement of the Brownsons in Rawdon Township in the mid-1800s. The Brownson family has a long

and rich history, filled with early life in the Americas, revolutionary wars and fleeing to Canada as United Empire Loyalists, a life McMullen-Parks says she tells not only for her own family, but for all early pioneers. “It could be the story of most of the brave families in that era, who suffered incredible, almost impossible, grief and hardship to make a better life for their families,” she writes in the preface of her 250-page book published by Epic Press, Belleville, Ontario.

“Originally, I was only going to research our family history. Then my computer broke down and I set it aside. It wasn’t until I settled in Belleville that I picked it up again with the intent to do a book.” She notes it was a matter of finishing what she had started. The contents are well researched. Marjorie travelled to Vermont and Connecticut, and established a friendship with a researcher at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., where a cousin helped in the process. She continued to hone her script into a novel, adding a bit of fictional interpretation to the facts. Her research took her to the library in Fredericton, New Brunswick, where many Loyalist families were transferred after the revolution. She then journeyed to LaColle, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, where her great-greatgrandfather finally received land for his loyalty to the Crown, and where, she found the grave of her great-greatgrandmother, Leah Northcott BrownsonBrevort. The book is an interesting journey through a history of settlement in Canada. Numerous names are found throughout, in various locations, over a long, long, period of time. Marjorie, and her father, Percy, were both born in the same family house on the Moira River, part of the property Martin Brownson purchased after the War of 1812. Her family intermarried with local

families from Rawdon, Huntingdon and Madoc Townships. The book should prove interesting for anyone in Hastings County, or anyone whose family fled north in those tumultuous years of early Canada. Stirling residents will remember Marjorie Brownson-McMullen-Parks as the owner of the Village Shop ladies wear store. She married Ralph McMullen and moved to Batawa. She now lives in Belleville with her second husband, Clifford Parks.

News - Belleville - Ontario’s colleges have begun local consultations to finalize a new stand-alone Sexual Assault and Sexual Violence Policy and Protocol that will be publicly promoted at all colleges, including Belleville’s Loyalist College, by March 31. “Protecting our students and everyone on our campuses is essential,” said Loyalist College president and CEO Maureen Piercy in a press release. “The new policy and protocol will help ensure that clear information is widely available and that there is immediate and effective help for victims of sexual assaults.” The presidents of the 24 colleges endorsed the framework for the Sexual Assault and Sexual Violence Policy and Protocol at a meeting in Toronto last week. The colleges and representatives from Colleges Ontario (the advocacy organization for the colleges) will now be consulting with student leaders, government officials, the Ontario Women’s Directorate, OPSEU and others on the policy and protocol. The feedback will be incorporated into the materials as they are finalized for the end of March. The comprehensive materials were developed by a task force that included senior college leaders, a student representative and legal experts. Building

on existing policies and practices at the colleges, the materials include recommendations for promoting greater awareness at colleges and establishing a clear protocol for responding to cases of sexual assault and violence. The materials also include information about protecting people’s privacy and the steps that should be taken if someone witnesses a sexual assault or has learned about a sexual assault. As well, the colleges are seeking provincial changes to better support victims of sexual assault. For example, the colleges are recommending the provincial government take steps to ensure that victims throughout the province have immediate access to 24hour emergency hotline services. The provincial government is also being asked to consider regulatory changes that might allow colleges and the police to share more information in certain circumstances. The colleges’ proposals might help inform the current government’s action plan on sexual assault that is expected to be developed by March 8, International Women’s Day. “We look forward to working with our students and others to ensure the policy and protocol are easily accessible and clearly understood,” said president Piercy. “Promoting awareness and support will be an ongoing effort.”


TRAVEL

Exploring the Greek Island of Mykonos

Arriving at Chora of Mykonos.

Lifestyles - Tourism is the main industry on the Greek island of Mykonos, and it has become a very popular destination for the rich and famous. The small island is home to only about 10,000 permanent residents, and it spans an area of 85.5 square kilometres (33 square miles), and rises to an elevation of 341 metres (1,119 feet) at its highest point. Most of the island’s inhabitants live on the west coast, in one town, Mykonos, which follows a common practice in Greece to name the principal town the same as the island. However, it’s also referred to as Chora (Greek for “The Town”). Therefore, the majority of the permanent population lives in Chora of Mykonos. The island of Mykonos is primarily recognized by the relatively small (one or two-storey) white cube houses, trimmed in blue, that are sprinkled around its hilly, rocky landscape, but in Chora of Mykonos, you’ll find a plethora of trimming colours accompanying the whitewashed houses. You’ll also find that many of the houses have a flight of outside stairs, parallel to the road, that lead to a wooden painted balcony that often projects over the road and nearly touches that of the house next to it. You’ll also find lots of souvenir shops, restaurants, and nightclubs amid the town’s very old and narrow alleyways and roads, where it would be impossible for two vehicles to actually meet. There are also some picturesque old windmills here (where the islanders used to bring their wheat and barley to be made into flour), and an area that’s known as “Little Venice” where the houses have been built on the sea’s edge, with the balconies actually overhanging the water. There’s also a nice beach in town offering a view of two nearby hills that are known as “Aphrodite’s breasts”; there are several interesting museums, including the Aegean Maritime Museum, with its collection of ships, and the Archaeological Museum of Delos, with its magnificent display of rare historical statues unearthed on the nearby island of Delos. Day trips to the island of Delos are

available from Mykonos, providing the visitor an opportunity to check out this sacred island of the ancient Greeks and the supposed birthplace of Artemis and Apollo. The three-hour tour will include a glimpse at the remains/ruins of the Temple of Apollo, Cleopatra’s house, the amphitheatre, and the Delos Lions (Terrace of the Lions). The island of Delos is now one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. After checking out both Delos and Chora of Mykonos, it’s rather interesting to simply take a tour of the rest of the island of Mykonos itself, using the narrow, twisting, hilly roads, and it’s worth stopping at the village of Ano Mera, where you’ll find the Panagia Tourliani Monastery. I went inside this beautiful church and met one of the two monks who reside here; he’s now an elderly man, an orphan, who has resided

in this monastery since the age of 11. I also visited the town square, where, at a bar in this area, I tried some of the local ouzo, Greece’s most popular drink. I’d also recommend a visit to the northwestern tip of Mykonos, where the Armenistis Lighthouse, built in 1891, is located. It overlooks the strait that separates Mykonos and the island of Tinos said to be the holiest island of modern Greece. Before the increase in tourism on Mykonos, times were rather tough, and the inhabitants tried to eke out a living by fishing, constructing ships, or farming. Now, with the great increase in curious visitors, the times have changed here, and the prices have escalated. As you drive on this island, you’ll still see several rock fences that were The narrow streets and crowds of tourists in Chora of Mykonos. used to keep livestock in, but you won’t find much fertile land for the growing of crops. You won’t find a lot of lush trees here, for the rocky soil, harsh winds, and lack of rain have stifled their growth. In actuality, there’s not a lot of vegetation at all. Therefore, there’s a kind of barren, desolate appearance to much of this island, and lots of rocks. You’ll also discover a few tiny hamlets scattered about the island, and hundreds of tiny churches (white, with blue domes). My guide told me that “Mykonos” basically means “pile of rocks,” and according to The island has a rather barren, rocky landscape, and many rock fences. Greek mythology, this island is the location where Heracles (the Roman Hercules) killed the giants. The rocks found around this island are supposedly their corpses.

Espalier is easy

The Good Earth:

The next two columns are a condensation of our conversation. Way, way back, perhaps even to the days that the Garden of Eden was first planted, the growing technique of espalier has been a mainstay of exceptional gardens. The word derives from scapula (shoulder blade), morphed over the years (via French and Italian etymological highways), think of shoulder high, to pruning to the How a trip to the Dentist could horizontal. mean a better night’s sleep: Espalier, as a noun, is the actual Part Two fruit tree or shrub mask that must be connected which is trained to to the patient at all times during grow flat against a sleep. However, studies show wall, supported on that compliance with CPAP

Lifestyles - Gentle reader, I had the pleasurable experience of chatting with the Lennox and Addington Horticultural Society in Napanee recently. The topic for the evening was “Espalier” and I thought it went very well. This means folks asked questions about the topic at hand, did not throw things at me and did not present a motion to adjourn during the talk. I hope to enjoy a return visit.

Last time, we discussed how sleeping problems like obstructive sleep apnea can affect your overall health and how your dentist can help in detecting these problems given the multitude of oral indicators of someone suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. To review, these manifestations include: The third treatment option is the use of an oral appliance, • Enlarged scalloped tongue • Pain on palpation of the jaw supplied to you by your dentist. The goal of oral appliance joints therapy is to reposition the • Jaw joint sounds when opening or closing the mouth lower jaw and tongue in order to create a favourable • Crowding of teeth environment for air to flow to • Wear patterns on teeth the lungs. Success rates have Through a thorough clinical been as high as 76% in treating examination, your dentist can mild to moderate cases of detect these signs that may obstructive sleep apnea. The encourage him/her to refer advantages include: you to your medical doctor for further investigation of potential • Non-invasive treatment sleep apnea through a sleep test. • Less noticeable than CPAP If the sleep test confirms that machine you indeed have obstructive • Reversible therapy sleep apnea, there are a number • High patient compliance of treatment options available If you have trouble sleeping to help optimize the amount of at night, wake up tired in air travelling to your lungs so the morning, or your partner that you can breathe properly complains of your snoring during your sleep. The three throughout the night, talk to your treatment options include: dentist or family doctor about 1. CPAP machine the possibility of obstructive 2. Surgery sleep apnea. The first step in 3.Oral appliance therapy getting better sleep is identifying the problem and this can only be done by consulting either your dentist or family doctor. Just think, a visit to your dentist could mean a good night’s sleep in the future.

labour (once established, enhance fruit quality and create physical barriers). Another reason for espalier is to stretch our gardening envelope. We enjoy gardening, we enjoy time spent nurturing our plants but accepting a ho-hum conventional horticultural paradigm is just not us. We want to try something different. Yes, we’ll be interested in new cultivars each spring but there are only so many ways to plant a geranium or grow a radish. How about creating a Belgian Fence to enclose a cozy corner nook? Another reason is that we are becoming much more health conscious, and are intrigued about the idea of growing our own vitamins and anti-oxidants: think apples, cherries, blueberries and kiwi. I know that kale is probably the Vitamin C darling of the new age but I doubt if it is a good candidate for espalier. The challenge, then, is to fit all of these healthy sustainers into our smaller growing space. Espalier is the perfect answer. You can use a wall or fence and make elaborate designs, such as cordons, candelabras, fans, or even hippy-dippy peace signs. Espalier should not be confined to only food production; remember, it is also a gardening art and, with that in mind, the only restriction is your imagination. Do you have a south-facing white- washed stucco wall that reflects so much heat that the garden soil resembles the sands of the Sahara? Espalier some pyracanthus, perhaps Yukon Belle firethorn. It will love the heat, it will cool the soil, and it will cool the interior of the house. On the north side, why not leave the English ivy in the old churchyard and espalier rhododendrons? A consideration: many trees and shrubs will live longer than a wall will

machines is poor. This may be due to a number of problems associated with its use. These include trauma to the bridge of the nose by the mask, bloating of the stomach, and nasal congestion. Also, the device is not mobile and therefore restricts movement during sleep. The other treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea is surgery. Surgery can be effective in removing anatomical obstructions such as enlarged tonsils, however studies show it is only 30-50% effective.

a lattice or a framework of stakes Used as a verb, espalier means to accomplish the above. If you make a make an error, while performing the above, you might use nouns and verbs but perhaps they will be chosen from a different lexicon, one a titch more piquant. Espalier is only one form of directed or interventional growth that we associate with specialised gardening. We can think of bonsai, or on a larger scale, Japanese garden tree, topiary, pleaching, pollarding, cloud or hindupan, knot gardens, parterres, and to some extent, mosaiculture which combines several of the forms. Practical reasons for espalier are maximise limited space, minimise

Dan Clost stand. So, here are two places not to espalier: on a fence running along a disputed property line; the rickety old garden shed that will be torn down in a few years as soon as time and money allows. On second thought those two things have never happened in my back yard so just ignore that one. It is very important to not lose track of the cultural requirements and compatibilities of the plants. For example, if you are growing apples, it would help to have suitable pollinators. If you’re adding a peach into the apple/ cherry mix; then you need to use lime sulphur not copper sulphur; you wouldn’t expect to see firethorn and rhododendron side by each so don’t expect to espalier them side by each. It is not quite bonsai, think more along the lines of a Japanese Garden Tree, but you are limiting the ability of the plant to feed itself. This means you need to pay special attention to fertilising (feed the soil not the plant), watering and pests. In short, you need to do everything you need to do in a regular regimen: all you’re really doing is training the plant to grow the way you want it to. It really is that simple.

Make this a March Break to remember with the Grade 4-5 SnowPass Lifestyles - Looking for fun things to do as a family this March Break? Now’s your chance to show your kids what a Canadian winter is all about. Put on your thermal gear, grab your mitts, zip up your coats, and head to the nearest ski hill for a full day of family fun. Skiing and snowboarding are not only great ways to make the winter months more enjoyable, they also provide the opportunity to get outside and be active, while enjoying new activities together as a family.

Taste of College workshops exposes kids to cool careers By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - How do you separate turkey and chicken DNA? Sounds like the start of a joke, but it was actually the basis of a biosciences exercise completed by high school students as part of the Taste of College event last week. Dozens of local high school students attended special workshops at Loyalist College on Thursday, February 19, as the college was vacated by students on reading week. The event allowed prospective Loyalist students to learn about what the college has to offer. Workshops were held for students interested in a number of tradesrelated programs, including automotive, culinary and welding courses. One of the interesting courses took place in the biosciences lab where instructor Kari Kramp and Robyn Neri, a chemical engineering student, taught students how to Kira Rogers (l) and Haley Woods, both Grade 11 students at Nicholson Catholic College, work on an separate turkey and assignment in a biosciences lab at Loyalist College, as part of the Taste of College event. This assign- chicken DNA.

The task involved electrophoresis, the task of running an electrical charge in a substance, which sends some material toward a positive charge and other material toward a negative charge. The consensus among the ten students participating was that it was a pretty interesting assignment, one to which high school students aren’t normally exposed. Neri was helping with the program as part of her involvement with Let’s Talk Science, a group that promotes sciencerelated courses to young people across Canada. She said students who pursue this type of bioscience education can find themselves in a number of careers. They

can end up working as a lab technician for a health care organization or find themselves doing environmental work. The DNA exercise was offered to the students with hopes that they’d find it cool. After all, it sounds like an experiment done on a sci-fi TV show, doesn’t it? “It’s relatable,” she said. “A lot of students watch CSI and it’s something they wouldn’t normally do in high school.” Kramp echoed Neri’s comment that biosciences can lead students to a number of interesting fields. “Our graduates get a lot of great jobs,” she said. “They learn to work with instruments like what they use on CSI.”

We watch your sisters play and wish you were here too. We hear them say your name even though they never met you. Please know that you are always loved and won’t be forgotten. Our baby boy, you will always be the piece of our hearts still broken. You are always on our minds and in our hearts, love Mommy, Daddy and your sisters

Five years ago this day From us you were taken away. Precious memories keep you near, As time unfolds another year. If we could have a lifetime wish, We’d pray to God to have you back, But words didn’t bring you near, We know because we’ve tried. Neither will our many tears, For many we shed over the past five years. Left with only your memories, Forever in our hearts they shall remain. All our love to the “moon and back”.

Students offer suggestions in marketing new field house By John Campbell

News - Campbellford - There’s been a lot of talk this winter about the cold but 30 students at Campbellford District High School (CDHS) spent last Friday talking ICE instead–but not the kind you’re thinking. ICE stands for Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship. The day-long training session in making use of those abilities served as a pilot for the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board in the certification of Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) students who demonstrate a talent for solving real-world problems. The challenge presented SHSM students from three learning streams–business, construction, and arts and culture–was to come up with ideas on how to market the field house being built in Hastings. The issue was framed by members of Flourish, the Trent Hills campaign to raise $7 million for the redevelopment of recreational facilities in Trent Hills, the purchase of hospital equipment, and the establishment of community funds for Warkworth and Hastings. Divided into six groups, the 30 young people produced “many terrific ideas” for the

Flourish committee to consider, said Andrea Vanden Tillaart, arts and business studies team leader at CDHS as well as its SHSM coordinator. Solutions included making greater use of social media “to gain the attention of the teen and twenty-something target markets,” and offering access to a wellness coach “could provide support for physical fitness, healthy food preparation, menu planning and goal-setting.” Fun runs and sports workshops were also suggested, she said in an email. “They were so engaged in the process and they did a great job at providing some suggestions,” said Martha Murphy, executive director of the CampbellfordSeymour Community Foundation. One that might be utilized is to set a student rate, “because they certainly want to access the field house,” but have limited funds, she said. They also suggested opportunities for making the facility “friendly for youth,” such as a rock-climbing wall, said Trent Hills community services officer Scott Rose. “We’re going to review the ideas and see if there is anything that we

can accommodate as part of the program.” The $4.8-million air-supported field house, scheduled to open in the spring, will accommodate a variety of sporting activities, such as volleyball, indoor soccer, lacrosse and basketball, as well as trade and craft shows, concerts and birthday parties. A soccer field for adults is also being built. “It will become a real community hub,” a place where people will come together to be active, socialize and share ideas, hospital foundation executive director John Russell told the students. “Our medical staff have already started to think about how we can use the field house” for rehabilitation programs to assist in the recovery of patients who have had surgery. “I thought it was a lot of fun,” as well as “cool how we got to actually help something that will be going into our community and not just a made up thing!” Brittney Seymour, a Special High Skills Major student in Grade 12, said in an email. It “was a really good way to teach students about many aspects of the business world” they might not be aware of, added Jared

Kurkilahti, a fifth-year SHSM student. He doesn’t consider himself “very entrepreneurial” but saw himself “being more confident in pitching ideas to groups” as result of last Friday’s experience. He enjoyed the issue being

tackled in stages and that groups shared ideas which “made it a lot more engaging,” he said in an email. “ICE was by far one of the most fun experiences that I’ve had in a long time. It was simple to understand, but the solutions

that could be thought up were nearly limitless.” Kurkilahti strongly urged other SHSM students to sign up for ICE if offered again “to learn and share their thoughts and ideas” about projects in future.

The 30 students who took part in the ICE pilot project at CDHS February 20, including l-r, Chloe Whalen, Janessa Reid, Debi Sallans and Jeremy Brunton, were given a warm-up exercise: build the tallest freestanding structure using 20 pieces of spaghetti, masking tape, a metre-long piece of string, and a marshmallow.
