News – Brighton – It’s official. The 2014 municipal budget, representing an overall increase of 3.4 per cent, was approved by council at their regular meeting on Monday night. The final tally includes a $250,000 increase in capital spending. Owners of a residential property assessed at $250,000 will see an increase of $102.19 on their tax bill. It was still a rocky road for council to reach the budget finale, after several meetings. Councillor John Martinello took the opportunity to take his last shot at the budget numbers, asking about projected costs for a new public works employee and the price tag for vehicles. The line of questioning caught chief administrative officer Gayle Frost by surprise. “I didn’t know we were going to debate the budget tonight,” she said. “I didn’t bring the budget with me.” “All that was readily available in the information we’ve been given over the last three months,” Deputy Mayor Mike Vandertoorn told Martinello. “And it’s been debated at the committee of the whole table.” “If you want to keep your house in order, you’ve gotta do what needs to be done,” said Councillor Tom Rittwage. “That’s what this budget does. “If you vote against this budget, you’re voting against a great deal of positive initiatives that will help us now, that will help us down the road and will save us money as we move along.” “Unfortunately, with a budget document, it is an all-or-nothing vote when it’s cast,” said Mayor Mark Walas. “Either you support the document in its entirety or you have to find a way to justify the things in the document that you don’t support. I reach out to my fellow councillors to help me find a way where I can support the document and recognize the things that I don’t because I have had an awful lot of calls from folks who do

Defining an arts and culture strategy in Brighton

By Ray Yurkowski

News –Brighton – Municipal economic development manager Elisha Purchase was looking for some help when she attended the Brighton Arts Council (BAC) monthly meeting last week. Her goal: to prioritize an arts and culture action strategy as identified in the Community Development Plan. The plan – delivered to municipal council in February 2012 – included details of a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) exercise compiled during the public consultation process. People living and working in Brighton saw arts and culture as a strength and, along with heritage, a key priority for the development of a community vision. “Arts, culture and heritage is an extremely important component of community and economic development,” wrote consultants McSweeney and Associates in the report. “Brighton should focus on developing this emerging sector in order to take full advantage of its community and economic development potential.” “The plan really identifies the need for having an economic development focus going forward,” Purchase told the BAC membership. “It’s also identified we have arts and culture here … a strong presence and that we need to investigate opportunities. “But there really are no action items whatsoever,” she said. “Where do you see arts and culture going in Brighton?” First up was board director Frank Blanchet, who told the Please see “Budget” on page 2 group, “BAC needs to figure out who we are and what we want

not want us buying vehicles, who do not want us hiring staff, in this day and age, and want more controls put into the operations of this municipality. “Based on the information we received, we are currently sitting at about $4.3 million a year in salaries in this municipality,” he added. “I was shocked by that number.” “Like any corporation, the services are delivered by people,” countered Councillor Craig Kerr. “And the cost of staffing makes up the majority of the budget. It’s really important that we segregate the operational cost of how we deliver services from the capital costs, which are the replacement of resources we need for staff to be able to deliver those services. “I will point out that the operational portion of this budget came in at a less than one per cent increase this year,” he added. “I never was clear in any way that it was substantiated to my knowledge that I was feeling good about going out to the people and saying ‘yes, we need this new truck or this new hire,’” said Councillor Mary Tadman. “We did find lots of savings,” offered Vandertoorn. “When the process started, this budget was almost at a 20 per cent increase. With a lot of work, we whittled it down to 3.4 per cent and I think we did a darn good job. We could have got to one per cent or zero if we really had to, but there would have been a lot of work not done and we would have had a lot of unhappy residents.” In a recorded vote, Vandertoorn, Kerr, Rittwage and Councillor Emily Rowley backed the budget with Walas, Martinello and Tadman opposed. Why did Walas vote against the budget? “There are a lot of capital projects being done that I think are much needed in the community but, unfortunately, there were a number of things in there that I just didn’t have the information that, I believe, would allow me to make a decision in order to support the document,” he said, after the meeting. “That had to do with additional vehicles and additional staffing. We’re right in the middle of a service delivery review and I feel that any of this could have been suspended until the review is done to provide us with the information we need to make a decision. “With a $4.3 million payroll in this municipality, I would rather have seen the possibility investigated of that $250,000 going into capital coming out of operations as opposed to just going back to the taxpayer.”

Presqu’ile Waterfowl Weekend goes off despite cold weather and fewer birds sels and things like that,” Bree said. “We get mostly diving ducks now ... (but) there are a lot of divers that aren’t here yet because the bay isn’t opened up very far.” The non-diving ducks, called dabblers, will arrive later. “If they’re in anything deeper than a foot they can’t reach their food,” Bree said. “So they’re still to come, we’re not in the shallow water yet.” He estimated there were about 2,000 birds in the bay; “sometimes we have 10,000, so you can see it’s deﬁnitely down,” he said. Their numbers included at least one snowy owl, there to eat ducks, and about 20 robins. “We’re starting to see a few spring birds,” Bree said. The park normally attracts 15 to 20 species of waterfowl this time of year. “We had about 12 yesterday and more showed up today,” Bree said.

The conditions made it tough for photographers and birdwatchers hoping to snap a shot but then not many of them are likely to show up on Waterfowl Weekend. “We don’t get huge numbers of the specialists,” Bree said. Most of those who turn out “are generalists, they just want to see something a little different. The weekend is geared more for families with activities to interest young folk, such as duck-themed crafts and scavenger hunts. Taxidermist Steve Dingman and carver Gary McPherson showed their work and there were displays by pho-

tographer Jim Brown and artist Sherrie Greig; Henry’s Camera had a spot with an array of lenses. Spotting scopes were made available at a couple of stations where volunteers were hand to assist as they were with the other activities organized by the Friends of Presqu’ile, the weekend’s sponsors, who hosted a barbecue as part of their fundraising efforts. “This is volunteer-driven event,” Bree said. “There are about 40 volunteers” – most of them members of Friends of Presqu’ile. The money raised on the weekend supports the group’s work in the park.

News – Brighton – Council dipped into the Youth Initiative Fund at their regular meeting on Monday night to help support a pediatric cancer research fundraiser and local minor hockey. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Cops for Cancer Pedal for Hope campaign, where Ontario Provincial Police, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and PeterboroughLakeﬁeld Community Police Service ofﬁcers cycle 1,000 kilometres and make stops at about 50 schools along the way. Through nine years, Pedal for Hope has raised more than $2 million for pediatric cancer research and support programming. This year, the three-week tour begins on April 24. Council approved a $250 donation that will be used to purchase an

iPod, which will be presented along with other prizes for top fundraisers at Brighton Public School, the only local stop on the tour. The Brighton and District Minor Hockey Association also received a $500 donation to offset the cost of having their novice rep team participate in the Ontario Minor Hockey Association eastern championship ﬁnal series against the Newcastle Stars. “This is something not achieved by many minor hockey players,” said team manager John Molenhuis, in his presentation to council. “This is their equivalent of the Stanley Cup.” “These things only come around once in awhile,” said Councillor Tom Rittwage. “And this is something these kids will remember for the rest of their lives.”

News – Brighton – A foul winter played a factor in fewer birds being sighted at Presqu’ile Provincial Park’s 38th annual Waterfowl Weekend March 15-16. It also didn’t help that only one of the two days had pleasant weather, which meant fewer visitors were spotted as well in the park. “Today it’s quite nice,” park naturalist David Bree said Sunday. “Yesterday was a little bit blustery, it rained off and on, it was one of our lower attended days but it was okay.” Bree said “the ice conditions are not optimal” because of the long, cold winter, so “the bay isn’t opened up as much as would have liked this weekend.” When Presqu’ile Bay is open, “that’s where the birds want to be, because as the ice retreats it’s opening up more and more fresh food sources.” Diving ducks seek out “vegetation and little vertebrates in the mud, and mus-

Brighton Lions Club step up funding for Applefest Children’s Village News – Brighton – The Children’s Village at this year’s Applefest will be bigger and better thanks to a generous contribution by the Brighton Lions Club. The Lions voted unanimously at their March 10 meeting to double their annual donation to the village to $4,000. This will be the third year for the Village, which replaced the long-standing midway in 2012. Last year, it featured day-long entertainment, bouncers, a climbing wall, a petting zoo, laser tag, carnival games and displays. Club secretary Hugh MacDonald said it was an easy decision for the Lions to up their donation for this year only, especially since the festival will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2014. “Supporting the Children’s Village is a great way for us to support our community and to fulﬁl

one of our primary goals which is to work with children,” MacDonald said. “We are especially pleased that the Village will be free to all children, especially those from families that might not ordinarily be able to afford it if there was an entry fee.” MacDonald added the Village is just one way the club supports young people throughout the year. “We support sports teams, contribute towards skating clubs, go into the schools and do both seeing and hearing tests on kindergarten children, help ﬁnance breakfast programs in the schools, provide a scholarship at ENSS -- and the list could go even further,” he said. Laurie Caouette, the new chair of the Brighton Applefest Committee and director of the Children’s Village, was thrilled with the funding announcement, saying it will be used to offer activities over a two-day period September 27-28,.

one participant as he pointed to two local success stories: Applefest and Christmas at Presqu’ile. “Warkworth seems to be very successful – what are they doing that we could do?” “Let’s do something so people will stay in town,” added another. “The whole intention was to deﬁne how we can support arts and culture in Brighton,” said Purchase in an interview after the meeting. “It made a lot of sense to approach the people who do have a clear vision of that and get their feedback before we go ahead with any initiatives down the road. “We want to ﬁgure out what we can do that’s different and will really catch people’s attention,” she said, as she mentioned plans for a downtown revitalization project to begin this summer. “At the end of the day, we can make infrastructure improvements downtown and we can put programs in place that make it more attractive, but if we don’t have those unique selling features that will draw people here it’s not going to create the same impact. It’s those little niche ideas that will do it.” First up “is investigating existing under-devel-

oped assets. “We shouldn’t be developing new until we’re doing well in the areas we already have,” Purchase said. A 2010 Ontario Arts Council report, “The Arts and the Quality of Life,” looked at public conceptions of the arts. More than 90 per cent of those surveyed believe arts activities help enrich the quality of life and agreed that if their community lost its arts activities, people living there would lose something of value. Two-thirds believed the presence of the arts in their community is more beneﬁcial to the community as a whole. Eightyone per cent felt that government should spend public dollars to support the arts. The last word goes to Vancouver Moving Theatre artistic director Savannah Walling who addressed delegates at the local Community Arts Council annual general meeting in 2010. “For me, community art is about artists working with communities and communities working with artists in a variety of shared collaborative experiences,” she said. “When its culture is lost, a community loses identity, dignity, self-respect, and hope.”

Rash of thefts from unlocked vehicles

Many of last year’s favourite activities will return this year, as well as new attractions and performers. “We’re hoping to soon announce two special celebrities who may be joining us at this year’s Lions Children’s Village,” Caouette said. “As soon as everything is conﬁrmed, we will be sharing that news. All I can say right now is that our young festival goers will go ‘wild’ over these guests.”

“Since we began the Children’s Village, it has run as a one-day event on the Saturday of Applefest. The committee is working hard to expand our Sunday events this year,” Caouette explained. “Since the car show was extended a second day at Brighton Public School and the Kinsmen craft show and retriever demo will take place at the King Edward Park area, it made sense to offer children’s activities on that day, too.”

In some instances the vehicles were entered and ransacked but nothing was taken. Vehicle keys, digital cameras, satellite radios, GPS units, wallets, other loose identiﬁcation cards and change were stolen in some. In one entry, approximately $30,000 of telecommunications test equipment was stolen from a victim’s unlocked vehicle. Northumberland OPP reported consistently in late 2013 of the “Lock It or Lose It” program which reminds residents to lock their vehicles and secure their property. If anyone in this area has had their vehicle entered or property taken and has not yet reported it, please contact the OPP at 1-888310-1122. OPP are continuing to investigate the occurrences. Anyone with information regarding the person(s) responsible for these thefts can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) where they can be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000 and not have to appear in court.

Presqu’ile one of 70 areas in province important to birds News – Brighton – Mike Burrell has an important job. It says so on his business card. He’s an Important Bird Area Coordinator with Bird Studies Canada. And one of the areas that’s important to keeping bird population numbers healthy in Ontario is Presqu’ile Provincial Park, where he staffed a booth at the Nature Centre during Waterfowl Weekend. There are 70 Important Bird Areas, or IBAs, in Ontario, and close to 600 in Canada. They are, says Bird Studies Canada, part of “a global initiative to identify, monitor, and conserve the world’s most important sites for birds and biodiversity. “There are over a hundred countries involved in the program and about 12,000 sites across the world that have been identified,” based on scientific criteria, Burrell said. Presqu’ile qualifies as an IBA because at least two species, the greater scaup and whimbrel, appear there during spring migration in “globally significant numbers” – greater than one per cent of their biogeographical population.

The park also supports globally significant breeding populations of two other species, the ring-billed gull and the Caspian tern. “It’s a really important site, not just locally but provincially, nationally, and even globally,” Burrell said. Nearly 320 bird species have been confirmed within Presqu’ile; more than 130 are breeders, the highest total for any area in Ontario, IBA Canada says on its website, www.ibacanada.ca. Burrell said the program got off the ground in the late ‘90s. It’s trying to raise awareness of the existence of IBA sites in the province that are globally significant as well as engage local volunteers to act as stewards for the sites. “Presqu’ile is in its own situation because its’ protected, it’s a park, there are people already managing the site,” Burrell referring to park staff and Friends of Presqu’ile. But the park “is the exception to the rule, most IBAs fall on private lands or public lands that aren’t protected.” In those parts of the country, Bird Studies Canada tries to recruit volunteers to take on the role of caretakers, he said.

Their function is to monitor bird populations, report on threats to IBAs, carry out stewardship activities in partnership with others, and make the community aware of how important these special places are. The exposure his organization received over the weekend was key, “not just for the IBA program but Bird Studies Canada. We’re all about raising awareness about bird conservation (and) getting the chance to engage people as well. Most people are actually pretty excited about birds, it’s an easy topic to get people interested in.” Once you excite their interest, “you can show them that they can actually help out with a whole bunch of citizen science projects,” such as a Christmas bird count and Project FeederWatch,” Burrell said. A good many of the people who stopped by his booth already participate in the Great Lakes Marsh Monitoring Program, he said. Burrell was also collecting pledges for a fundraiser in support of Bird Studies Canada, which is a charity and depends on donations,

membership dues and research grants to make its programs happen. “But we really rely on volunteers to go out and collect information about marshes or loons or whatever,” he said. “You don’t have to be an expert to be able to contribute a lot of information. To learn more Bird Studies Canada, go online to www.bsc-eoc. org. Mike Burrell, Important Bird Area coordinator for Bird Studies Canada, drew attention to the charity’s work to promote the understanding, appreciation, and conservation of wild birds and their habitats.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Harper gives medical patients yet another kick in the guts Dear Editor: Unless it is all a rather nasty April Fools joke, as of April 1, 2014 life is going to be much tougher for medically challenged Canadians who have found using marijuana helps them with their illness. In a March 14, 2014 Health Canada news release, which reads like Harper wrote it himself, the threat of police action and prosecution has now been driven home to those already suffering from sickness. Essentially it says, “Do what we say or the police are coming to your house and you are going to one of the new jail cells Conservatives have built for you with your tax dollars.” In this Conservative news release titled “Changes to the Reporting Requirements in the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations” it states: “Recently, the Government of Canada amended the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations to require participants of the Marihuana Medical Access Program to provide written notice to Health Canada by April 30, 2014, stating that they no longer possess marijuana (dried marijuana, plants or seeds) obtained under the old program. Those that were authorized to grow marijuana must also attest that they have discontinued production. Participants are also required to confirm the amount of marijuana and number of plants destroyed, if any. If participants do not comply with the requirement to notify Health Canada, the Department will notify law enforcement. The Department will also continue to cooperate with police and provide information needed to protect public safety, as appropriate.” The information the police will be given, along with orders to prosecute, includes the name, address, SIN number and all other data Health Canada forced both medical users and designated growers to supply them with under

the old program, which has been in existence since 2001. The message is, “We know who you are. Where you live. And we will be coming after you.” No added stress there for some very ill people. Without the existing Canadian Court order overruling him, Harper and his evangelical/ Reform cabal on Parliament Hill would allow no medical patients to use cannabis to help them handle their sickness.The opening sentence of the latest news release states: “Health Canada does not endorse the use of marijuana and is taking the necessary steps to protect public safety while providing reasonable access to marijuana for medical purposes, as ordered by the Courts.” Reasonable access? Many people suffering from various diseases which marijuana has obviously been proven to help are now, under threat of police action, forced to destroy the marijuana, plants and seeds they legally obtained under the old rules. They have to destroy it and write to Health Canada by April 30th saying they have done so or expect a Swat Team to show up at their front door at 3 a.m. brandishing a battering ram. Those who grow for themselves at home are watching their investment in equipment destroyed. These ill people are more often than not quite low on the income ladder because their illnesses limit their ability to work. Now they are being forced to buy their medicine from Harperselected growers. Perhaps the real criminal act here centers on the lies, willful ignorance and ongoing taxpayerfunded propaganda fed to the Canadian people by the Conservatives. Americans are realizing the outright lies told by Richard Nixon in 1971, when he declared America’s War On Drugs, have got to end. Legalization has now taken place in Colorado and Washington states. Alaska is pre-

paring to vote on legalization in August which could easily see British Columbia with American jurisdictions on both its northern and southern borders selling legal cannabis for medical as well as recreational use. Colorado realized over one million dollars in tax revenue in the first month of legalization and drug dealers have fled the state because the sales of street level drugs has dried up. Tourism is booming.

Meanwhile, here in Canada, we have a Prime Minister leading us into his own personal ideological dark ages based on ignorance and outright lies. Organized crime and street level drug dealers must once again be saying, “Thank you very much Mr. Prime Minister!” As a country, we can do better. Alan Coxwell Stirling

Be glad Canada’s foreign policy doesn’t rely on giving hugs Dear Editor, Re; Kate’s Dreams (March 13, 2014) In the opening of Ms. Everson’s editorial, she muses, “I haven’t been asked to write an editorial since I worked for the Community Press many years ago”. After reading her latest foray into the editorial world, that fact somehow seems far less mysterious. Editorials are, of course, opinion pieces, generally meant to influence rather than inform. I should, however, give Ms Everson credit for answering a question that has been nagging me for quite some time, “Justin Trudeau, who would vote for that buffoon?” It does strike me as curious though that she would commend PM Harper for taking a stand against Russia’s incursion into the Ukraine and proceed to implicitly endorse Trudeau, presumably blissfully unaware of Justin’s latest gaffe on that very topic. You wear that Trudeau pin on your lapel proudly, Ms. Everson. As comedian Bill Engvall would say, “Here’s your sign.” Ms. Everson rather clumsily claims “I do believe in equality of the sexes” when the basis of her editorial is that women are inherently good – “by nature nurturers. We care when someone is

hurting. We don’t count the change in our purse and look the other way” – while men are inherently evil, prone to “greed and posturing.” Ms. Everson is, perhaps unwittingly, espousing gender equity, not equality. She is not campaigning for equality in family courts, or for equality in criminal court sentencing (women routinely receive far lighter sentences compared to their male counterparts), rather a cut-and-paste equality. Her vision of equality is not a “separate but equal” status, but a “same, only different” situation where women are assured gender equity with extra credit given for their inherent virtues. To answer Ms. Everson’s closing question, “I can dream can’t I?”, yes, Kate, you can. But when you are drifting off to sleep, counting unicorns and rainbows, be thankful that with the plethora of global threats facing this country, Mr. Harper’s foreign policy does not consist of reaching out a hand and saying “Come here, let’s have a hug.” No, Ms. Everson, between all his “greed and posturing,” our PM actually finds time to address global threats, supported by world-class armed forces (where women are also “severely underrepresented”). Sleep safe, and dream away, Kate… Francis MacDonald Trenton

Using the three Cs

Dear Editor I wonder how long you have to wait to have a telephone call returned to that person (or to get a response)? Has society changed? Did you check and then tell yourself “oh, it’s just Frances - I’ll call her tomorrow.” If an appointment was made, or arranged, or whatever - how long or what length of time are we expected to wait? What happened to common courtesy, or perhaps, that comment doesn’t apply any longer? What is

happening in our world of society, intelligence, common courtesy and respect to (and for) others? I think every human being should have, even deserve this much, from even just ordinary people. We aren’t, or we shouldn’t be judged by this type of persons... they aren’t god and never will be. It isn’t education. I would use the three C’s Consideration, Caring, and Compassion.

Afghanistan: Mission Not Accomplished

Editorial - Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron rambled a bit on his visit to Afghanistan last December, but ended up sounding just as deluded as U.S. President George W Bush had been when he proclaimed “Mission accomplished” six weeks after the invasion of Iraq. British troops were sent to Afghanistan, Cameron said, “so it doesn’t become a haven for terror. That is the mission ... and I think we will Gwynne Dyer have accomplished that mission.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper was equally upbeat when addressing Canadian troops just before they pulled out in 2011. Afghanistan no longer represents a “geostrategic risk to the world (and) is no longer a source of global terrorism,” he said. Both men are technically correct, since Afghanistan never was a “geostrategic risk to the world” or “a haven for terror,” but they must both know that the whole war was really a pointless waste of lives. Obviously, neither man can afford to say that the soldiers who died in obedience to the orders of their government (448 British troops, 158 Canadians) died in vain, but President Barack Obama has found a better way to address the dilemma: He just doesn’t offer any assessment of the campaign’s success. “I never doubted Obama’s support for the troops, only his support for their mission,” wrote former Defence Secretary Robert Gates, and he was right. Now there’s another “election” coming up in Afghanistan (on April 5), and at least three-quarters of the remaining foreign troops (perhaps all of them) will be gone from the country by the end of this year, and the whole thing is getting ready to fall apart. This will pose no threat to the rest of the world, but it’s going to be deeply embarrassing for the Western leaders who nailed their flags to this particular mast. The election is to replace President Hamid Karzai, who has served two full terms and cannot run again. It will be at least as crooked as the last one in 2009: 20.7 million voters

cards have already been distributed in a country where there are only 13.5 million people over the age of 18. Karzai is so confident of remaining the power behind the throne that he is building his “retirement” residence next to the presidential palace, but he’s probably wrong. It’s not that the Taliban will sweep back to power all over Afghanistan once Western troops leave. They really only controlled the Pashtun-majority areas of the east and south and the area around the capital even when they were “in power” in 1996-2001, while the Tajiks, Uzbeks and Hazaras of the “Northern Alliance” ruled the rest. That pattern is likely to reappear, with the Taliban and the northern warlords pushing politicians like Karzai aside – probably not at once, when most or all of the Western troops go home at the end of this year, but a while later, when the flow of aid (which accounts for 97 per cent of Afghan government spending) finally stops. The new part-Taliban Afghanistan that emerges will be no more a source of international terrorism than the old partTaliban Afghanistan was. It was Osama bin Laden and his merry men, mostly Arabs and a few Pakistanis, who plotted and carried out the 9/11 attacks, not the Taliban. True, bin Laden et al. were guests on Afghan soil at the time, but it is highly unlikely that they told the Taliban about the attacks in advance. After all, they were probably going to get their hosts’ country invaded by the United States; best not to bring it up. And there have been no international terrorist attacks coming out of Afghanistan in the past eight years, although the Taliban already control a fair chunk of the country. The election will unfold as Karzai wishes, and his preferred candidate (exactly who is still not clear) will probably emerge as the new president, but this truly is a case of rearranging the deck-chairs on the Titanic. The second long foreign occupation of Afghanistan in half a century is drawing to a close, and Afghanistan’s own politics and history are about to resume.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Another black mark added to the Liberal legacy Dear Editor In a province that most people believe operates with democratic principles in place, how is it possible that the Liberal government is still in power in Ontario? The Liberals have been insulting citizens for the past 10 years with a continuing series of scandals and corrupt decisions. This includes passage of the Green Energy Act, which allows the government to use your tax dollars to subsidize the building of wind turbines and solar power development without requiring building approval. The ordinary citizen needs approval for even minor improvements to their own property but the Dalton McGuinty government passed green energy by deliberately ignoring basic fundamental regulations. This decision, of course, has resulted in doubling your energy costs from Hydro One. Even though the McGuinty/Wynne Liberals have been a disaster for Ontario, the left continues to sing the same old song. How can we possibly trust a Tim Hudak Conservative government? If the Liberals have been a disaster and the NDP has helped them stay in power, it stands to reason that the Conservatives deserve a chance to form majority control. My question is how is it not possible to do anything but improve the situation over the Liberals, which has plunged Ontario into the worst deficit situation in history, and has ar-

rogantly ignored the trust of the taxpayers for the past decade. The latest Liberal outrage seems to be against rural Ontario in the City of Kawartha Lakes, with the province’s attempted imposition of wind turbines despite strong opposition from the residents. The Manvers Wind Concern group claims the wind industry is dictating terms to the province instead of the other way around. The province’s decision to override zoning bylaws is now catching up to them. An example is the Cham Shan Temple, an investment of $100 million by the Buddhist community in Cavan-Millbrook Township. The four temples have been in the planning stages for 20 years, the project has been cleared by zoning laws and construction is already underway. At least one turbine would be in close proximity to the Buddhist sanctuary. So investors now say they will not build the last three temples if the turbine goes forward, which would mean a $60 million loss to the community. It’s just one more catastrophe added to the legacy of a Liberal government which has unquestionably earned its legacy as the worst political leadership administration in provincial history.

Wise decision to spend on waterway By John Campbell Editorial - The Trent-Severn Waterway is a “jewel,” as Oshawa MP and parliamentary secretary to the federal minister of environment Dr. Colin Carrie said last Friday. Its value is immense, but unlike a precious gem, it’s not anywhere near as durable. Age, use and the elements relentlessly eat away at its physical infrastructure. It’s a situation not to be underestimated, as was touched upon in a report on the future of the Trent-Severn Waterway that was submitted to the federal government in 2008. The report was written by a special panel whose mandate was to “recommend a new vision for the waterway that will ensure its long-term effectiveness and sustainability and optimize the full range of contributions that it makes to Canada and Central Ontario.” The report noted the system’s deterioration due to age and said it would cost in excess of $1.4 billion to replace its more than 1,500 assets over time. “It is estimated that essential maintenance and recapitalization over the next 15-20 years will require hundreds of millions of dollars,” the panel stated. Getting that kind of commitment was a pipe dream then and the prospect of the requisite funding ever being realized only grew more illusory in the years that followed as the federal government instituted cutbacks to rein in rising costs across all departments. The panel cited estimates that the waterway, at the time, was spending little more than $10 million a year to maintain and replace built assets. According to Treasury Board guidelines, that was about $46 million short of what was needed annually to get the necessary work done. The panel recognized, however, that while an annual investment of $56 million for infrastructure preservation is “an admirable target,” it suggested as one of its 26 recommendations a more realistic figure of $21 million per year be phased in, starting immediately. The federal government’s response was to commit $83 million to the renewal of the waterway’s infrastructure over the next five years. Last week, Parks Canada stepped up its support for the Trent-Severn with Carrie’s announcement that $58 million over two years had been allocated to major capital projects and ongoing preventative maintenance along the waterway and Rideau Canal. That’s in addition to $391.5 million the federal government had set aside in the 2014 Economic Action Plan for highways, bridges and dams in national parks and along historic canals. Clearly, Ottawa has stepped up its game and recognized that a jewel can depreciate when insufficient attention is paid to keeping up its value, and for that it is to be congratulated, even though the allocation is well short of what admittedly is an ideal level. The challenge still to be met has to do with the changes the Trent-Severn introduced last year in its operations. Staffing cuts forced upon the waterway by its political masters intent on slaying the deficit dragon resulted in a reduction of service. The hours of operation were shortened and boaters often found themselves having to wait to be passed through the system because of the switch from on-demand lockages to scheduled times. The change was to accommodate mobile crews who handled up to three lock stations, and had to travel to each by vehicle to let the boats go through. Complaints from the boating community escalated. They had nothing to do with the performance of staff but the straitened circumstances they were placed in. The Trent-Severn did fine-tune its operations as the season wore on and learned some lessons, which the waterway would be wise to remember when the system re-opens for business in May. The success or failure of the national historic site to respond to the demands of the people it serves, on land and on water, also directly affects the economic health of the communities and businesses that lie along the waterway. Last week’s funding announcement should lessen somewhat the vigour of the attacks directed at the waterway by its critics, seeing as the money being provided for capital and maintenance work is a record amount. That suggests the federal government has acknowledged there’s work to be done on a scale it wasn’t prepared to undertake in recent years. It’s a commitment that will need to be renewed in two years if the current investment is to have any lasting effect. As Carrie, the minister of environment’s parliamentary secretary noted, “the Trent-Severn is like a chain, it’s only as strong as its weakest link.”

Young enthusiasts are for the birds Lifestyles – Brighton – The Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) is offering an all-day young birders workshop next weekend at Presqu’ile Provincial Park led by local naturalists Doug McCrae and Bill Gilmour along with biologist and nature artist Peter Burke. Centred around the migration of wa-

terfowl and other water birds, the workshop is geared toward youth ages 11 to 18 with advanced birding know-how who want to learn more. There are two goals, says OFO executive director Lynne Freeman: to give the young birders an opportunity to meet others with the same interest, and to provide a higher level of information

and techniques. “These are typically the kind of people who grow up to be scientists and environmentalists,” she said. “It’s pretty phenomenal. These kids are already passionate about birding.” Young birders will be making the trip to Brighton from as far away as Ottawa and Sarnia.

News – Quinte West – Snow and ice this winter have caused havoc on the roads, Quinte West OPP Inspector Mike Reynolds told the police services board. “There have been a number of serious accidents and fatalities,” he said, noting the detachment has been assisting Napanee OPP on Highway 401. Reynolds said the new DVR detour routes signs posted along the highway have been helpful to direct traffic off the 401. “It went well,” he said. Reynolds winter has been brutal across the province. “We have written off 40 cruisers in Ontario,” he said. “They were struck in accident scenes.” Reynolds said the public needs to slow down to avoid collisions. He pointed there have been major pile-ups on the 401. “People are not adjusting their speeds for weather conditions,” he said. “Slow down in rain, fog or snow.” Police have been able to post updates on the East Region Twitter account, which have helped inform the people driving along those routes. “Hopefully, we will get our own account as well,” he said. Reynolds said it was fortunate no cruisers or officers were injured in Quinte West. Total collisions in Quinte West were up by 34 per cent between 2013 and 2014. In January there were 105 collisions and in February there were 55. On Jan. 29, a huge pileup on the 401 between Trenton and Belleville involved more than 100 vehicles. “It’s been a tough couple of months,” he said. “We hope there is a downward trend.” Community patrols also have had a hard time this winter on foot where there are no clear sidewalks.

Hall. The Vernacular-style hall, built in 1861, served as the Brighton Township council meeting hall and office until amalgamation with the Town of Brighton in 2001. The Friends will operate as a subcommittee of the HAC and will be ‘hands-on’ in staging exhibits and presentations at the hall, researching Brighton history, and restoring the interior of the building. Plans also include providing a computer and scanner at Friends events to build a digital archive from family history collections. “A lot of people have stuff they don’t want to part with but they’re more than anxious to have it as part of a bigger collection,” said HAC member Joe Banbury, at the committee’s regular meeting last week.

Campaign promises more bang for the marketing buck By Ray Yurkowski

News – Brighton – A “must-attend” event is being held next week so local business and organization leaders can find out how a collaborative marketing campaign can increase Brighton’s regional awareness by 100 times. One-third of the overall investment for the campaign will come from municipal coffers. Along with 30 businesses or organizations buying in, a Brightonwide advertising campaign would realize a $140,000 value to highlight local assets to consumers across the region. Currently, the media list includes eight radio stations and six print publications, with each delivering a consistent message to reinforce Brighton’s new brand and create awareness. “With the municipality taking the lead, we can get not-for-profit rates, which businesses can’t get,” explained municipal economic development manager Elisha Purchase, in an interview early this week. “With the investment from this campaign, the primary focus

News – Quinte West -- The Ministry of Education has announced funding for a new public elementary school in Trenton. It’s to be built on the existing site of Queen Elizabeth Public School, and accommodate students in JK to Grade 8 from Breadner Elementary School, College Street Public School and Queen Elizabeth Public School. Funding for the project is estimated at $13.3 million but those details have not been confirmed by the ministry. “Our government is supporting the construction of safe, modern facilities that meet the needs of students and school staff in Trenton,” Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal said. “When we help our local school boards improve and expand their infrastructure, we’re helping teachers and support staff focus on what matters most -- student growth and success.” The investment in our board “is very welcome news,” said Dwayne Inch, chair of the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board. “It supports our multi-year plan to consolidate and renew our schools to ensure our students have modern, safe learning environments.” The funding announcement is in response to a capital priority business case submitted to the Ministry of Education last fall, which was the result of an accommodation review that was done during the 2012-2013 school year. “We are looking forward to the project beginning in the coming weeks,” director of education Mandy SaveryWhiteway said.

is to make sure the region is aware of what we’re doing in Brighton and why they should come here.” The collaborative marketing campaign is looking at a late May kickoff and will run for a full year. The municipality would act as the lead, work with the media representatives and have all the invoices coming into its office. “When designed strategically, a collaborative campaign is an extremely beneficial tool for small businesses,” Purchase said. “It’s something that works really well in rural communities and, by collaborating, it increases our budget.” “We want to focus on three key messages – capitalizing on our tourism assets, promoting Brighton as a great place to live, and getting the word out that we’re looking at attracting more business here,” she added. “The big message will be ‘Come to Brighton,’ and at the end of the day, if we get them here, everybody is going to benefit. “A key message being delivered at this session is the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The information night is a must-attend event for local businesses and organizations wanting to create action and get results.” The collaborative marketing campaign information session is slated to begin at 6:30 p.m. on March 27 at the King Edward Park Community Centre. For more information, call Elisha Purchase at 613-475-0670, extension 115, or log on to www.collaborativecampaign.eventbrite.ca to register.

CREATING JOBS AND OPPORTUNITIES

ECONOMIC ACTION PLAN 2014 works by controlling spending and putting Canada on the road to balanced budgets in 2015. Balancing the budget protects our economy and keeps it strong. Economic Action Plan 2014* includes proposed investments in things that matter to Canadians like: • Enhanced broadband internet service for rural and Northern Canadians • A new Search and Rescue Volunteers Tax Credit • The New Horizons for Seniors Program • New measures to support apprentices in the trades • Improved and expanded snowmobile and recreational trails across the country • $500 million to support innovation and jobs in Canada’s economically important auto sector *Subject to Parliamentary approval

Find out more about how Economic Action Plan 2014 can help you at ActionPlan.gc.ca Brighton Mayor Mark Walas, on the left, assisted by volunteer Chris Matthews, spent one noon-hour last week to deliver meals to a half-dozen residents as part of an annual campaign to raise awareness of Community Care Northumberland’s Meals on Wheels program. Volunteer kitchen helpers at Trinity Saint Andrew’s United Church cook about 130 meals twice a week, and close to 6,000 in a year, Walas marvelled. It’s “an incredible amount of work (by) a tremendous pool of volunteers,” he said. “We’re just so fortunate to have these folks continue to work this hard in our community and provide this great service to our residents.” Photo: John Campbell

Last crew arrives home to 8 Wing from Afghanistan News – Quinte West - The last CC-177 to fly troops home from Afghanistan arrived at 8 Wing Trenton on Tuesday after dropping off 100 troops in Ottawa. The crew was welcomed home by 429 Transport Squadron Commanding Officer Lt-Colonel Jean Maisonneuve and other members of the squadron, along with Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp, representing Minister of National Defence Robert Nicholson. 429 “Bison” Transport Squadron

had been an integral contributor to the mission in Afghanistan since January 2002 when it participated as part of Operation Apollo, the first Canadian deployment in the campaign against terrorism. Between January and August 2002, the CC-130 Hercules Tactical Airlift Detachment (TAL Det) logged in excess of 1,800 operational flying hours on more than 320 missions in the Arabian Gulf Region. During that same

period the Squadron helped to deliver two million kilograms of cargo and 3,700 passengers to destinations in the theatre of operations in support of coalition forces. The first Canadian tactical flight into Kandahar occurred in 2003. 429 Squadron successfully delivered 30,000 pounds of material to a bombed-out 3,900-foot-long runway under direct small arms and rocket fire. With the introduction of the CC-177

Globemaster III in 2007, 429 Squadron’s role expanded to providing the critical air bridge between Canada and Afghanistan with regular sustainment flights in support of operations. Critical to the success of the war effort, 429 Squadron flew 746 missions totalling close to 17,000 hours of flight. Combined, these missions saw the successful delivery of 32,000 troops and 65 million pounds of freight to Kabul, Kandahar and Bagram airfields in

direct support of coalition forces. Not since the Korean War has Canada taken part in combat resupply operations. From 2007 to today, 429 Squadron has deployed hundreds of individuals totalling 18,937 person-days and 541 missions. In addition to the 541 missions, the Squadron has also conducted 285 sustainment flights. Each flight involved a crew of six and took an average seven to10 days to complete.

Municipality of Trent Hills receives cheque from Parks Canada By Sue Dickens

News – Campbellford – It’s official. Trent Hills now has the $1,294,776.21 it was owed by Parks Canada. Northumberland-Quinte MP Rick Norlock participated in a formal presentation March 11 that marked the end of a longstanding dispute between the municipality and the federal government over power rights. “I want to thank our MP for working with us, I know he’s put a lot of effort in it as well as our staff trying to resolve this issue with Parks Canada,” Mayor Hector Macmillan said at a photo op to celebrate the cheque’s arrival. “Finally we’ve brought the bureaucracy in Ottawa to bear. We now have a mechanism, the system is in place that we can count on the continued funding and I look forward to working with our MP to, hopefully, resolve this once and for all in an effort that we may be able to finally have our contract bought out.” The dispute over money owed the municipality goes back to 1914 when the federal government, in order to build a canal through Campbellford, agreed to compensate a woollen mill for the removal of a dam that was a source of water power. It was guaranteed a small amount of electricity at no charge in perpetuity, a right the town acquired when it purchased the mill in 1978. The right remained in effect after the town became part of Trent Hills following amalgamation.

Parks Canada stopped providing compensation in 2002, apart from making the one interim payment. When repeated pleas to live up to the agreement failed to move the federal government, council threatened to take the matter to court, triggering talks over the past year to settle the dispute. An agreement was reached in February. “Now we will at least be getting our annual payments,” Macmillan said. Norlock praised the mayor for his tenacity. “We all know Hector and he’s tenacious and that’s a good thing,” he said. He and council are “always looking out for the best interests” of Trent Hills.” Macmillan said there are “no specific plans” at this time for the money, which will remain in a reserve until council makes up its mind how to proceed. “It is something that needs to be spent in Ward One (Campbellford and the former township of Seymour) due to the agreements made during amalgamation,” he noted. “If it were used to lower taxes, that’s a one-time effort and then it’s gone. There’s been discussions whether it should go into a new fire hall, a wellness and recreation centre and that’s certainly something. If we were able to have our contract permanently bought out, that would pay for our one-third of that cost.

A staff report will be prepared as to the allocation of future payments. A cheque for $1,294,776.21 from Parks Canada to the Municipality of Trent Hills has arrived, bringing to an end a long-standing dispute over power rights that goes back to 1914. Making the annoucement official are, from left, Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, MP for Northumberland-Quinte West Rick Norlock and Trent Hills Deputy Mayor Bob Crate. Photo: Sue Dickens

Monthly Update – February 2014

R0012595930

This month we are dedicating our newsletter to one of Rotary International’s major campaigns currently underway: The End Polio Now project. Polio is a highly contagious viral infection that can lead to paralysis, breathing problems or even death. The virus usually enters the environment through the feces of someone who is infected. This is why in areas of the world with poor sanitation, the virus easily spreads. The non-paralytic polio virus leads to flu-like symptoms while the paralytic polio can lead to more serious symptoms such as loss of muscle reflexes, severe muscle pain and spasms, and deformed limbs that are often worse on one side of the body. Polio attacks mostly children under the age of five. There is no cure once a person becomes infected but in most countries where polio is still present, the disease can be easily prevented through the administration of an oral polio vaccine, which is given multiple times. Soon after the introduction of an effective vaccine in the 1950s and 1960s, polio was brought under control and practically eliminated in industrialized countries. However the disease was still widespread in many other countries. In 1979 Rotary clubs around the world initiated a project to buy and help deliver the polio vaccine to more than 6 million children in the Philippines with many Rotarians from local clubs helping in the vaccination campaign. In 1985 Rotary International launched PolioPlus, the first and largest internationally coordinated private-sector support of a public health initiative, with an initial pledge of US$120 million. In 1988 Rotarians raised US$247

million for PolioPlus, more than doubling their fundraising goal of US$120 million. Rotary’s massive lobbying efforts to convince skeptical policymakers that polio could in fact be eradicated proved successful the same year when the World Health Assembly passed a resolution to eradicate Polio, beginning the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. At the time, Polio was endemic in more than 125 countries and about 350,000 people, primarily young children, were paralyzed by polio every year. Rotary and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have partnered on polio eradication since 2007, when the Gates Foundation gave Rotary a $100 Million challenge grant for polio eradication. This amount increased to $355 million in 2009. Rotary agreed to raise $200 million in matching funds in June 2012 and when it reached its goals at the end of 2012, the foundation awarded an additional $50 million in support of the effort. To date, Rotary has raised over $1.2 billion in funds, the largest private sector donor for polio eradication. Today there are only 3 countries in the world (Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria) where polio is still endemic and routine immunization and public awareness campaigns are necessary in many other countries to prevent polio outbreaks. The estimated cost of the initiative to eradicate polio is $5.5 billion from 2013 to 2018 with $4 billion in funding commitments announced by global leaders at the Global Vaccine Summit in Abu Dhabi in

April 2013 and a $1.5 billion funding gap still to be reached. This shortfall will in part be met through the extension of the partnership between Rotary and the Gates Foundation; for each dollar that Rotary commits to end polio, it will be matched 2 to 1, up to $35 million a year, for a total of $525 million for polio eradication. Over the past two decades, tremendous progress has been made towards the eradication of polio, and Rotary’s initial vision now shared by the world is closer than ever. Since then, immunization efforts have reduced the number of polio cases by more than 99%, saving more than 10 million children from paralysis. However the extent of the work is permanently at risk. The 1% where polio cases are present are the most difficult to prevent because the virus persists in the hardest areas to reach. Efforts to reach unvaccinated areas are menaced by security, geographic, religious and cultural barriers. As Bill Gates stated in a recent conference against polio, “None of what has been achieved in the fight against polio would have been possible without Rotary International. We wouldn’t be where we are without you, nor could we get where we are going without you. This last 1% will be the longest, hardest 1%; it will require more work and commitment than even before but I am 100% convinced that this fight is winnable.”

News – Belleville – The Loyalist College Board of Governors has confirmed that President Maureen Piercy will serve another term as President of the College, effective July 1, 2014. “The Board is pleased to announce the extension of President Maureen Piercy’s appointment for a five-year term,” said Board Chair Tamara Kleinschmidt. “Maureen is an outstanding leader who has developed strong relationships both inside and outside the College. Loyalist’s impact and value to our students and community have flourished, and we are delighted that she has agreed to continue as President and CEO for the next five years.” Since her appointment in 2005, President Piercy has focused on strengthening community outreach with municipalities, businesses and organizations in the area, and on transforming the campus. Under her leadership the College has undergone a massive expansion of its facilities. The Sustainable Skills, Technology and Life Sciences Centre was completed in 2011. This remarkable new facility, built with $16.6 million provided in equal amounts by the federal and provincial governments, has been enhanced with donations to the Campaign for Loyalist College, with commitments to date of close to $6 million. The Skills Centre has also provided the opportunity for new and renewed programming in the area of Skills and Technology, leading to unprecedented interest in these programs. Other recent developments include the Multi-Sports Dome, Townhousestyle residences, the Welcome Centre, the Digital Media Centre, and

FOCUS

FARMING

Grain flows in a funnel-shaped path to the unloading auger. This vortex of grain behaves very much like a water whirlpool. Velocity increases as grain flows from the bin wall at the top of the grain mass into a small, vertical column at the center of the bin. The vertical column flows down through the grain mass at close to the rate of the unloading auger. Essentially no grain flows in from the surrounding mass.

Collapse Of Horizontal Crusted Grain Surfaces

A thin layer of crusted, spoiled grain can conceal voids beneath the surface. A victim who breaks through this crust is quickly covered as an avalanche of grain collapses into the cavity.

Collapse Of Vertical Crusted Grain Surfaces

Spoiled or caked grain can stand almost vertically. As grain is removed from the base of a caked mass, the potential for avalanche and engulfment increases Rate of inflow at the center top of a grain dramatically. bin is so great that escape is impossible. Suction Equipment Once engulfed in the grain flow, a victim is rapidly drawn down toward the bin floor. Hazards Recently, an Ontario transport driver was The few survivors of this type of entrapment buried in an avalanche of grain as he say they deliberately covered their mouths attempted to empty a bin from the inside and noses with their hands and did not with conventional suction equipment. All panic. All expressed amazement at the bins should be equipped with properly tremendous speed of their engulfment. designed doors to permit suction unloading from the exterior only.

Trent Hills Public Library seeking accreditation By John Campbell

News – Trent Hills – Trent Hills Public Library is taking steps to become accredited before the year is done. “It’s just to know that we’re as good as anybody else ... (and) we’re as good as we can be,” CEO Donna Wilson said, such as having WiFi available, and being able to obtain books through inter-library loans fairly quickly. It also lets the library board know its “house is in order.” Another reason for accreditation is that with 2014 being an election year and the possibility of new people serving as library trustees, the board wanted to show its successor “you don’t have to worry about this stuff, it’s all good,” Wilson said. The board is made up of three members

from council and four from the public. The formal accreditation process requires a library to evaluate itself and make changes where necessary, according to best practices compiled by the Ontario Public Library Guidelines Monitoring and Accreditation Council. A team of two auditors will then visit to see if the library measures up. “This will be a lot of work to do to get ... our ducks in a row (for accreditation),” Wilson said. To meet the guidelines, the library must demonstrate it consults users, has a plan setting out goals and objectives and how they can be achieved, and is able to measure its performance. The library board adopted a strategic plan for 2013-2016 last year, which compelled it to

is being used, especially the amount set aside for teens, as that is another area of concern. The circulation of materials for that age group is on the rise, the plan said, and a review of how young people make use of library services would be helpful. Reference books “are getting to be a thing of the past,” Wilson said, because the information they provide becomes quickly “dated” compared to what can be found through the Internet. “We’re downsizing those sections,” she said, but e-books are increasing. Library users can download them at home without having to go to the library, which makes them available through a consortium it belongs to that offers thousands of e-books. The cost to the library is $2,000 a year, based on the municipality’s population. “Anybody who has a library card can go online and use it,” Wilson said. Almost 300 e-books a month are being loaned out. Accreditation will also show taxpayers their dollars are being spent wisely, Wilson said. The library’s proposed budget for this year has been set at almost $442,000. Trent Hills Public Library currently has 12 people on staff – two full-time at 35 hours a week and one at 30 hours, “This has helped us with as well as nine who work part-time. community policing, all goCampbellford is open 38 hours a week, Warkworth 20 ing back to the community,” hours, and Hastings 18 hours.

look beyond the one-year horizon defined by an annual budget, as had been the practice in the past, Wilson said. “This is more forward thinking.” The plan offered direction in three areas: facilities (space and accessibility), services and resources (collections, programs and technology), and communication (marketing, wireless services, and user feedback). The document identified some “areas of concern,” such as the overall size of the collection for its three branches and the range of titles available. In comparing the collection to that of other libraries of similar size, the plan suggested it could contain “a number of underused titles” and that a “review of weeding practices” be done. It also recommended looking at how space

Wooler man who inadvertently shot his son fined $1,000

News – A Wooler resident, who accidentally fired his crossbow and struck his son, has been fined $1,000. Dave Sager pleaded guilty to causing a firearm to be discharged without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for a person. He also received a one-year hunting suspension and must successfully complete the hunter education course in order to have his hunting licence reinstated. According to evidence presented March 11 at the Ontario Court of Justice, Sager had just returned to his all-terrain vehicle with two others, after hunting in the Murray Township area Dec. 27, 2013. While attempting to unload his crossbow, he caused the trigger to be pressed, releasing the bolt, which struck his son, who was standing near him.

The Ministry of Natural Resources said in a news release the son was taken to the Trenton Memorial Hospital for his injuries and “is expected to make a full recovery.” The case was heard by Justice of the Peace Jack Chiang. The Ministry of Natural Resources reminds all hunters they must handle and discharge a firearm with due care and attention, and with reasonable consideration for persons and property at all times. Safety is the top priority. To report a natural resources violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (8477667) 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).

people renew their drivers’ licences. “Billions are owed,” he said. “This could help fund policing costs.” Clazie said it could amount to half a million dollars a year on average. “That’s a nice lump sum for our reserves,” Rose commented. Clazie said there is currently $2 million in reserves and by the end of 2014 the municipality will still have about $1.5 million.

the costs depend partly on the calls for service and the types of calls. He said Quinte West’s costs will be down next year when the new costing formula takes effect. This year they will use some police reserves to cover the contract. He estimated the cost per household is about $600. Alyea said the end of the freeze on police wages will hit municipalities hard this year. “Costs are up,” he said, “but that is the cost of doing business.” Quinte West’s contract with the OPP is $10,333,400 for 2014. Clazie noted that revenues from provincial offence fine collections are down and the trend points toward a decrease in the number of tickets this year. Ken Rose asked if staff are still trying to collect outstanding fines. Clazie said they are working with Hastings County and Belleville to put the fines on the tax bill, but these are only specific to the owner of property. Alyea noted they can collect fees when

News – Quinte West– OPP Superintendent Rick Philbin sent a video message to Quinte West Police Services Board Monday to explain the new model that’s being proposed to pay for policing. “We want to set the record straight,” he said, noting the change in billing is not sitting well with all of Ontario’s 324 municipalities, although they have expressed a high level of satisfaction with OPP services they receive. “There have been significant variations in the municipalities,” Philbin said. “Some bills have been lowered and others raised.” He said this will create greater fairness and a more equitable situation. Board chair Jim Alyea said there is a great concern among the smaller municipalities, some of which will see their costs double. “For us, it’s a reduction,” he said. “There are winners and losers.” David Clazie, director of finance, said

Hospital plans to get more help for emergency department By John Campbell

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Campbellford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The new Quality Improvement Plan adopted by Campbellford Memorial Hospital includes hiring a second nurse practitioner to reduce wait times in the emergency department. The first NP it hired, to work Monday to Friday and some weekends, has

one NP position. Wait time reduction is one of five areas where the hospital will be focusing its attention in the coming year. The others are maintaining a balanced budget, improving the patient discharge process to â&#x20AC;&#x153;reduce unnecessary hospital readmission,â&#x20AC;? ensuring patients are satisfied with their experience while receiving care at CMH, and reducing hospital-acquired infections. Hilker said some patients upon discharge â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know when to resume regular duties or are confused about whatâ&#x20AC;? to do with their medications, and when to see a doctor or specialist. Follow-up calls will be made to ensure they understand â&#x20AC;&#x153;what they should be doing when they go home.â&#x20AC;? That was one area in need of strengthening, according to patient satisfaction surveys the hospital

routinely conducts. Survey results for the past year and more were recently presented to the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing well, more pluses than minuses,â&#x20AC;? Hilker said. CMH makes use of a quality improvement navigator, which can be viewed online, to track its progress in achieving what it set out to do in the plan. The indicators include two relating to senior friendly care; one has to do with assessing the physical condition of an elderly patient upon admission and monitoring their health â&#x20AC;&#x153;to ensure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not deteriorating,â&#x20AC;? Hilker said. The other indicator involves assessing patients who are risk of delirium in order to come up with â&#x20AC;&#x153;the right care plan.â&#x20AC;? The hospital is projecting it will end the current fiscal year March 31 with a surplus of $122,500 on a $18.3

million budget, as a result of a one per cent increase in its base funding that it hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t counted on receiving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really the biggest thing that got us to a surplus,â&#x20AC;? Hilker said. The higher funding has been factored into the new budget which predicts a small surplus of $4,000. CMH continues to look for new ways to generate revenue. The new parking lot and the sleep labs that began the latter part of 2013 are expected to bring in $29,500 for 2014-15. The lab operates three nights a week. A technician monitors the breathing of three people with sleeping problems, such as sleep apnea, and the results are interpreted by a specialist in Toronto who devises a plan for their treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we get more and more referrals weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to get it running five nights a week,â&#x20AC;? Hilker said.

Rotary donates to Trent Hills Fire department At its meeting on Monday, the Rotary Club of Campbellford presented Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake with a cheque for $2,500. The money was raised by tickets sold in conjunction with the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf tournament last summer. Blake said the money will be used to purchase equipment for a new rescue vehicle.

Sports – It was a long season, with many ups and downs, but the Quinte Duvanco Homes Bantams are Ontario Minor Hockey Association champions for the second time in three years. They defeated the York-Simcoe Express 3-0 in the final of the OMHA Bantam AAA Championships in Bradford. The game was a rematch of last year’s exciting final. Brady Gilmour earned player of the game honours, and Anthony Popovich shut the door on the Express earning his second shutout of the tournament. Goals were scored by Aidan McFarland, Mac Lowry, and Nick Hoey. Assists were contributed by Ryan Fraser and Scoley Dow. The Bantams finished first in the round-robin after defeating the Peterborough Petes, Guelph Gryphons, and Southern Tier Admirals, and losing a close one to the York-Simcoe Express during the tournament. York-Simcoe fin-

ished second and qualified with 5 points. The final was a rematch of the 2013 final in Belleville which the Express won 1-0. Game 1 was a 3-0 win over the Peterborough Petes. Scoring for the devils were Tanner Sheppard, Aidan McFarland and Shelby Rienstra. McFarland also contributed 2 assists, while Brady Gilmour and Shephard added one each. Anthony Popovich was sharp in the net for the shutout. Game 2 was a slight bump in the road for the Duvanco Homes Bantams. They ended up on the short end of a 2-1 score, but for the most part, controlled the play. Shelby Rienstra scored the only goal, unassisted, and Anthony Popovich handled the goaltending duties for the Red Devils. Game 3 with the Guelph Gryphons started very close and tentative, but turned into a lopsided 7-0 victory for the Red Devils. Scoring was balanced with Colin VanDenHurk scoring twice, and

Scoley Dow chipping in with 3 assists. Shelby Rienstra, Ryan Fraser, Ryan Smith and Mac Lowry had a goal and an assist each, Brady Gilmour had 2 assists, Jakob Brahaney added a single goal, and Dominic Della Civita also had an assist. Aidan Cameron was solid between the pipes, earning the shutout. In Game 4, the Devils took care of the Southern Tier Admirals 4-0, to advance to the final for the third straight year. Aidan Cameron posted his second shutout of the day, making some big saves in key situations. Brady Gilmour, Shelby Rienstra, Colin VanDenHurk, and Scoley Dow scored for Quinte, and assists came from Gilmour, Dominic Della Civita, Tanner Sheppard, Aidan McFarland, Jakob Brahaney, and Mac Lowry. The next step for the Bantams are the OHF Championships in Stratford where they will meet the top teams in the province.

Bulls eliminated from playoff chase Sports – Belleville – A long season full of change and upheaval came to a disappointing end for the Belleville Bulls this past weekend. For just the fourth time in the past 20 years the local club won’t be making a trip to the Ontario Hockey League playoffs after being eliminated from playoff contention with a 3 - 2 overtime loss to Oshawa on Friday night. “We’re disappointed that we’re not moving forward, we’ve really played some terrific hockey over these past couple of months,” head coach and general manager George Burnett said after the game. “We’re out of the playoffs because of the way we played in October and November, not because of the way we’ve played since Christmas.” The Bulls faced a tough task Friday when they faced off against the Eastern Conference-leading Generals in Oshawa, and with conference rivals Ottawa and Mississauga both gaining points in their respective games Belleville desperately needed a win to stay alive in the playoff chase. The Bulls looked like they might do it too - by leading 2-1 at

the end of the second period on goals by Cameron Brace and Jordan Subban. Belleville had placed themselves firmly in the driver’s seat heading into the third period. Unfortunately for the Bulls however, a strong effort wasn’t enough to overcome a stacked Oshawa squad, and after ending regulation tied 2-2 the Bulls push for the playoffs came to a heartbreaking end in overtime. A lost faceoff with only seconds on the clock was enough time for Oshawa to score the game-winning goal as time expired, effectively ending the Bulls season. “We had a good playoff push and while it didn’t go the way we wanted it to, I think the effort was there, and that’s what’s most important moving forward,” said forward Adam Laishram. “I have a lot of confidence in this group, it was evident in the last couple games that we have what it takes to be a strong team in this league and hopefully we can bring that next year.” The Bulls returned home Saturday night to close out their season against Sudbury, and in front of a near sell-out crowd of more than 3,000 the Bulls won

Frankford Figure Skating Club is 40 and fabulous By Kate Everson

Sports – Quinte West – The Frankford Figure Skating Club is 40 years old and as fabulous as ever. “We are celebrating this anniversary with a Forty and Fabulous Carnival on March 29,” president Tanya MacDonald said. As well as highlighting the excellent skills of their figure skaters on the ice from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Frankford arena, this year’s event will also have a brief showing by the fathers. “It’s called the Father and Daughter Skate” carnival chair Karen MacDonald said. “We had this seven years ago and are bringing it back. It’s a big event.” Eleven father and daughter couples will take to the ice. The girls, ages 10 to 17, have welcomed their dads to skate with them. In a two minute segment, the pairs will attempt to glide across the ice without falling down. “Some fathers haven’t skated for years,” Tanya MacDonald says with a smile. She said some are very excited to participate, others are a bit more cautious. “Some have been voluntold,” she

laughs. She said some fathers did not even have skates but went out and bought or borrowed some for the carnival. Tanya’s husband Ian is out there skating with their 11-year-old daughter Madison. “She’s giving him some pointers,” she said. “He hasn’t been on skates for 25 years.” Taking part in the Father-Daughter Skate are: Alan and Taylor AstburyHart, Kryss and Kourtney Schwass, Ken and Brianne Mills, Dennis and Guen Murray, Carl and Vicki MacDonald, Bill and Lauren Yanch, Len and Kaitlin Cooper, Ian and Madison MacDonald, Ian and Iris Kinnon, Alan and Lauren Bell, and Jeff and Jessica King. Their coach is Melanie Barker. The skate starts halfway through the two-hour carnival program. The carnival features junior, intermediate and senior skaters as well as the youngest CanSkate members of the club showing off their skills. Solos and group numbers are sure to entertain as well as prove the club is indeed Forty and Fabulous. For more information go online at frankfordfsc.ca and join the party.

a highly entertaining game by a final score of 7 - 4 that had Burnett feeling good about the team he’ll field next season. Overager forward Scott Simmonds led all scorers with three assists, while Remi Elie had two goals, Jake Marchment had a goal and an assist, and first round draft pick Justin Lemcke added two assists of his own. Belleville’s other goals were scored by Andrew Ming, Stephern Harper, Nikki Petti and Brace. “We’ve got a great group but it’s really going to depend on how much work we do in the (off-season),” Burnett said. “The message tomorrow in our exit meetings is going to be very clear - if you don’t [improve] somebody is probably going to take your job. I’m also hoping to challenge some returning players and push them to improve themselves.” Burnett will have several holes to fill in his roster come next year, as Belleville bid farewell to three overagers on Saturday night. Defenceman Jake Worrad and forwards Simmonds and Brace all played their final OHL games Saturday, and while Worrad had joined the team two seasons ago and Brace earlier this year, Simmonds spent his entire OHL career with the Bulls, appearing in 266 games for Belleville since being drafted

Belleville’s Remi Elie had two goals against Sudbury, finishing the season with 28 goals and 37 assists in 61 games. Photo: Steve Jessel

in the fifth round of the 2009 OHL Priority Selection. “I have no regrets and I don’t think anyone in the room does, other than the fact that we didn’t make the playoffs,” Simmonds said. “It’s really sad (to leave), it’s like home to me and I’m going to miss Belleville for sure. I’m always going to remember Belleville and

my career here.” The Bulls finished the season with a 23-38-4-3 record, good for 53 points and ninth place in the Eastern Conference. Eighth place Mississauga finished just one point ahead with 54 points after losing their final game of the season, and now move on to face Oshawa in the first round of the OHL playoffs.

Junior ice dance champs will skate in Norwood

By Bill Freeman

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Asphodel-Norwood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only ďŹ tting that Canadian junior ice dance champions Mackenzie Bent and Garrett MacKeen will be part of the Norwood District Figure Skating Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dream Bigâ&#x20AC;? carnival on March 30. The national gold medalists are currently representing Canada at the world junior ďŹ gure skating championships in SoďŹ a, Bulgaria; Mackenzie, 16, and Garrett, 19, placed ďŹ fth at the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last year and arrived in SoďŹ a with a gold medal from the ISU Grand Prix competition in Riga, Latvia and a ďŹ fth-place ďŹ nish at the ISU Grand Prix in Kosice, Slovakia. The pair â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mackenzie is a Port Perry native now living in Uxbridge, and Garrett is from Oshawa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have been together for the past nine seasons and skate out of Scarboroughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ice Dance Elite club with coaches Juris Razgulajevs and Carol Lane. They have spent the past three years on the international ice circuit earning two bronze medals, one silver (Austria) and the gold in Latvia. Along with their gold medal at the nationals they have several other Canadian championship medals in their collection including silver at the juvenile, a silver from the 2013 juniors, and a novice bronze. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best total score was 129.16 at the 2012 ISU Junior Grand

Prix in Austria where they ďŹ nished third behind teams from France and Russia. Their best short dance score was 55.88 at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world championships where they posted an overall score of 128.79 and ďŹ nished ďŹ fth behind two ice dance teams from Russia and skaters from France and the U.S.A., while their best free dance score was also recorded at the IUS Grand Prix in Austria. Needless to say the Norwood Club is thrilled to welcome the national junior champions to the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre where they will perform two guest routines and share the ice with skaters of all ages. Last year Battle of the Blades stars Tessa Bonhomme and Brad May were in the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guest skating spotlight. Bonhomme won the 2011 Battle of the Blades crown skating with Olympic gold medalist David Pelletier. The Dream Big title sponsor is Norwood Foodland with gold level support coming from the Norwood Lions, Horizon family Dentistry, Ayotte, Dupuis, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill Law OfďŹ ce, The Dancerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Closet and Crowley Farms; Zenner Concrete, Allie Accounting and the Norwood Agricultural Society are silver sponsors. The show runs from 2 to 4 p.m. with the doors opening at 1 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for youth four to 12 years and seniors 65 and over; children three and under are free.

Hula hooping captures the interest of youngsters By Sue Dickens

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Campbellford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hula hooping has been happening since the ancient Greeks used it as a form of exercise. Watching youngsters learn about hula hooping at the Ontario Early Years Centre (OEYC) in Campbellford during March Break was inspiring as they became more and more excited, not realizing that it was also a great way to stay ďŹ t, said volunteer Kerstin Boyd. She spent one day last week at the OEYC teaching hula hooping and belly dancing to a dozen or so youngsters who ranged in age from pre-school to pre-teens.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am just a beginner hula hooper, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been doing it the last three months,â&#x20AC;? said Boyd, a grandmother who was not only volunteering that day at the centre but also participates in belly dancing classes for adults taught by Rebecca Hardy which are held at 2 p.m. on Fridays at the Civic Centre in Hastings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today we are showing the fun you can have with a hula hoop,â&#x20AC;? Boyd said, while the children practised doing the hula hoop movements. For a couple of the youngsters, Christian Douglas, 5, and Logan Fry, 6, hula hooping was â&#x20AC;&#x153;exciting,â&#x20AC;? and they like to come to the OEYC to enjoy all the

It got “a very good referral” from the Royal Ontario Museum, Li said. “They have many very successful projects around the world.” She works with James Ting, the other J in her company’s name. “We are building a bridge from Canada to Asia,” she said. Li, who’s from Beijing, has learned the language spoken in many Chinese areas to help her be a liaison between the two countries. “There are so many dialects,” she said. Li and Ting worked with architect Liu Tie Sheng on designing the pieces for the museum. “He is the real VIP in the company,” Ting said. May said his company, which he founded in 1987, has had other projects in China, including building a geological museum in the late 1990s. RCI was also the only company involved in moving historical artifacts before a dam was built. Mike Peyette, the artist and supervisor of the build, said RCI’s personnel are quite comfortable with the scope of the project, which includes creating ev-

activities offered there. “Hula hooping helps with motor skills, by learning how to rotate the hoop and it’s eye-hand coordination too,” Boyd explained while the children mimicked her movements, “but it’s also just to have fun with it.” According to the website www. hoolahooping.com hoops were popular in Great Britain in the 14th century as recreation and as part of religious ceremonies. Hoop dancing is a form of storytelling for Native Americans dating back to the 1400s. With no beginning or end, it symbolizes the never-ending circle of life. Hula hoops became popular in the 1940s. Baby boomers probably remember the days when they were more than just a fad, but a fun activity every youngster had to try. Eventually their popularity lead to the 1980 World Hula Hoop Championship which was held in more than 2,000 cities with an estimated two million participants. Boyd would like to see more “hooping” happening in her community, so groups of kids could get together regularly and learn how to do this fun activ-

ity and benefit from the exercise at the same time. “The more people interested there are then we could perhaps get a program going for the kids,” she said. “As we get older adults need flexibility so that’s where hula

hooping really helps.” Other activities during March Break hosted by the OEYC in Campbellford included Zumba lessons, a trip to Sandy Flat Sugar Bush, tobogganing and a pancake brunch.

Hula hooping was one of several activities held at the Ontario Early Years Centre in Campbellford during March Break. Kerstin Boyd volunteered to teach the kids the movements. Logan Fry, 6, and Christian Douglas, 5, were among the kids who practised hula hooping. Photo: Sue Dickens

A 27 year-old native of Shannonville, Maracle has been a season ticket member since the 2010-11 season and is a familiar face at Bulls events out in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bulls games are the highlight of Kevinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s week,â&#x20AC;? said his mother, Leaus Walker.

plateau covered in a beautiful, thick pine forest protected by the Fondation Seguin. I met the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a Haitian businessman who has committed his life to the preservation of a fragile ecology. I met doctors and nurses giving selflessly, and engineers who support rural communities, literally building bridges to a better life filled with new opportunities that were once blocked by dangerous waters. I was filled with pride when I heard how, just days after the earthquake, Sam Bloch, the visionary who started Haiti Communitere where I lived during my stay in Haiti, needed to get medical supplies over the mountains to Jacmel. With the roads impassable, he simply began unloading the supplies by four helicopters sitting briefly idle at the chaotic UN airstrip. The Canadian helicopter pilots didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate, he recalls, and the supplies were loaded and delivered immediately. Two of my hometown friends, Jason Calder and Todd Leeper, were there with the Canadian Forces at the time. They likely crossed Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path, and he says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always have a soft spot for Canadians as he thinks back to those choppers. Over the course of this short trip, I cast all my false assumptions aside and discovered beauty and resilience, pride and purpose, and above all, the welcoming heart of a country that for years has been misjudged and misrepresented. I arrived home inspired and dedicated to changing these many misguided perceptions, and I thank everyone for their unfailing support.

ENTERTAINMENT

Theatre to honour WWI with Soldiers of Song show The show is also meant to be uplifting. Although there is one particularly sad scene, where troops acknowledge the death of a soldier, the show tries to capture the essence of actual Dumbell shows. They were often zany, performed in front of a drunken audience and featured male actors dressed as women. First World War soldiers, Boynton pointed out, were all men and most of them hadn’t seen a women in years. So the sight of a female – even if it was really a man in drag – would usually draw a few smiles. The act became so popular that it went mainstream following the war. The Dumbells toured across Canada extensively in the ’20s and ’30s, playing as many as 231 dates in a single year, Boynton said. Soldiers of Song debuted for a private audience in Toronto recently and the actors involved got incredibly positive feedback from the audience, Boynton said. One elderly audience member told the crew she saw the Dumbells perform when she was five and the show brought back memories of her childhood. Boynton said the crew are looking forward to coming to Stirling, because it will be their first time playing the show in a community theatre. However, they hope to tour it across Canada all summer, as community groups look for ways to honour the 100th anniversary of the war. “It’s part of our history that a lot of people don’t know about it,” he said.

Entertainment – Stirling – The Stirling Festival Theatre will honour the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War with a special show that pays homage to one of the most distinctive musical acts in Canadian history. The show, called Soldiers of Song, is a tribute to The Dumbells, a group of Canadians who were soldiers during the day and entertainers at night. They performed in deplorable conditions, often in muddy trenches on wooden crates following a day of dodging bullets. But they did it to raise the spirit of troops who were witnessing comrades die in dark and cold places, miles away from home. The show, which takes place Sunday, April 13 at 2 p.m., was created by Jason Wilson, a singer and pianist who has thoroughly studied the history of the Dumbells (he even completed a master’s thesis on the group). He and Allan Boynton, the show’s booking agent, are touring it across Ontario this spring, hoping it will raise awareness of a now distant chapter in Canadian history. The fact that troops were willing to get on stage and entertain fellow troops following a day on the battlefield says something about the strength and spirit of soldiers and our need to experience laughter, joy and music, Boynton said. “This is Canadiana at its finest,” he said. “These guys got our troops through some of the most difficult times in our history.” Boynton said the music for the show is the actual music the Dumbells played, though in some cases, it’s been modernized.

Nebraska City is known as the home of Arbor Day

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles – As our thoughts turn to spring once again, many of us look forward to apple blossoms, returning robins, warm showers, blooming flowers, and, yes, even the cutting of our lush, green lawns. It’s a time of rebirth and renewal – and hope. Many places celebrate spring via an “Arbor Day”, and here in Ontario “Arbor Week” is celebrated from the last Friday in April to the first Sunday in May. It’s a special time set aside for the planting and cultivation of trees, and it’s a tradition that actually began well over a hundred years ago, when Julius Sterling Morton, U.S. President Grover Cleveland’s Secretary of Agriculture, declared the first official Arbor Day in the U.S. on April 10, 1872. Morton had already voiced his belief that “trees were a good thing”, both for the landscape and the economy, and he’d already set an example on his own Nebraska farmland by planting orchards, wind breaks, and shade trees. Then he established this special day, Arbor Day, to encourage others to do the same, and over a million trees were planted on that first occasion. Other Arbor Days followed, and that tree-planting trend, Morton’s most important legacy, eventually expanded into other states and countries – and led to the planting of billions of trees. It’s now referred to as “The National Festival of Tree Planting” in India, “The New Year’s Day of Trees” in Israel, “The Tree-Loving Week” in Korea, and “Greening Week” in Japan. While in Nebraska City, I visited Arbor Day Farm, where this tradition actually began, and where the Mortons built their home and planted their trees. Arbor Day Farm is now owned and operated by the Arbor Day Foundation, and the home and grounds are now part of Arbor Lodge State Historical Park – with its arboretum, tree trail, and plethora of tree species. I also stayed right at the farm’s

Lied Lodge & Conference Centre (www.liedlodge.org), with its soaring lobby timbers, warm wood tones, natural stone fireplaces, and Olympic-sized pool. This modern facility is surrounded by 260 acres of orchards, walking trails, and serenity, and while here I partook in a tree planting ceremony (of course) – and explored the farm, through its orchards, vineyards, domestic crops, and forests, via the “Discovery Ride” (a tractor and wagon tour). I also checked out its Tree Adventure Pavilion, where I watched several film clips with trees as film stars (in such films as Forrest Gump, Christmas Vaca-

tion, Jurassic Park, Robin Hood, and Shrek) and walked the Tree House Trail, where I checked out the Woodland Pavilion, the Exploratory Tree House, and the view from the top of the Canopy Tree House. I was told that this Tree Adventure Attraction is very popular with youngsters – especially its Nature Explore Classrooms, where children can build with blocks, climb logs, or begin a forest melody on a giant marimba - and its opportunities for tree climbing (in the safety of a harness system). I met Karen Houser, the General Manager of the Lied Lodge

& Conference Centre, and she told me about this facility’s popularity for destination weddings – and its historic barn for barbeques and banquets. I also learned just how seriously this facility takes its conservation, sustainability, and ‘green’ practices when I took its Energy Plant Tour – and learned that the Lied Lodge & Conference Centre is heated and cooled by the use of renewable firewood (harvested from the farm itself) and waste wood (wood chips are purchased from a nearby palette company). I also stopped in at Arbor Day Farm’s Lied Greenhouse, where I got ‘an up close and personal’

I walked along the farm’s popular Tree House Trail. Photo: John Smith

look at how the tree seedlings are grown and prepared for distribution – and I received a free tree to take home and plant. I learned that about 4 million trees are shipped annually. Nebraska City is the site of the corporate headquarters of the Arbor Day Foundation (www.arborday.org), and this organization’s mandate is to “inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees.” Not only is Nebraska City

the home of Arbor Day, but it’s also home to the Missouri River Basin Lewis & Clark Interpretive Trail & Visitor Centre, which focuses on the scientific results of the historic expedition, and includes replicas of their boats and a reconstructed earth lodge dwelling. You’ll also find the Kregel Windmill Factory here, now a museum that’s been restored to its 1939 condition, with the original furnishings and tools.

Parks Canada to spend unprecedented amount on fixing waterways By John Campbell

Got Events?

News – Peterborough – Parks Canada will spend $58 million over the next two years to maintain and modernize the Trent-Severn Waterway and Rideau Canal. That’s a “record” amount of money, said Oshawa MP Dr. Colin Carrie, parliamentary secretary to Minister of the Environment Leona Aglukkaq, who made the funding announcement at a news conference held March 14 at the Peterborough Lift Lock Visitor Centre. The projects along the Trent-Severn include replacement of the Hastings swing bridge at a cost of $4 million as well as replacement of the Brighton Road swing bridge on the Murray Canal that connects Quinte West and Brighton to Prince Edward County. Its estimated cost is $4.6 million. Work is nearing completion at Healey Falls Lock 15 to replace concrete that has deteriorated at a cost of $700,000. The most expensive undertaking is the removal of the Bolsover dam at Lock 37 and the construction of a new one in its place, for $24.1 million. The deck of the dam at Lock 23 on the Otonabee River in Peterborough is to rehabilitated at a cost of $7.3 million while reconstruction of the Thompson’s Bay dam will cost $1.5 million. Carrie said the projects “will help ensure that residents and visitors can continue to access, navigate and enjoy” the Trent-Severn, “a jewel of Canada” that’s “important to Canadians in many ways,” accommodating “a wealth of recreational activities” as well as contributing to the region’s “thriving tourist industry.”

Hastings-Prince Edward MP Daryl Kramp said his government “had to bite the bullet” and commit to unprecedented spending on the Trent-Severn Waterway before the situation became “untenable.” Photo: John Campbell

The funding announced is in addition to the $391.5 million contained in the federal government’s Economic Action Plan for highways, bridges and dams in national parks and along historic canals, details of which are to be provided later. “They help define us as Canadians,” Carrie said. “We must not only protect them but also ensure that they can be experienced and enjoyed both now and well into the future. Today’s in-

vestments in heritage infrastructure will yield benefits for many, many years to come.” Hastings-Prince Edward MP Daryl Kramp said the government “could not afford” to let repairs to the waterway slide and reach “an untenable situation so we decided to bite the bullet.” The enhanced funding will come as good news to those who have criticized Parks Canada for not doing

enough to protect the waterway from further deterioration but they won’t be happy to learn no changes are planned in the service this year. Carrie said the hours of operation set last year, which drew complaints from boaters because it gave them less time to pass through the system, will remain as they are until 2015. The minister “was very clear in a recent meeting she had with stakeholders that they are set” until 2015, he said. Carrie said a decline in boaters using the system – their numbers fell by 23 per cent in 2013 – is “always a concern ... It’s one of those things that we have to try to figure out what exactly is going on with the boating community. It’s something we have to monitor.” Kramp said there are “always going to be challenges” on the operational side. “Nothing in life is free,” he said. “Somehow, some way, somebody has to pay, (whether it’s) paid by the general public or ... paid by the user system. “It’s going to be an ongoing challenge.” Jewel Cunningham, director of Ontario waterways for Parks Canada, told The Independent the changes that were put in place last year “led to some confusion” among boaters which contributed to fewer travelling the waterway but the weather didn’t help either. The waterway “made some modifications” to its operations last year as the season wore on in response to the feedback it was getting from boaters “to decrease the wait times and try to address some of the concerns.” She said boat traffic has been declining for about 10 years and one of the initiatives the waterway has undertaken is to find out why by means of a survey its conducting in partnership with Boating Ontario, which can be accessed at www.boatingontario.ca for another few weeks.

The Good Earth: Canada Blooms

Come Alive Outside...Inside!

Dan Clost This past week I was able to take in our premier garden show in The Direct Energy Centre at Toronto’s Exhibition Grounds. The entrance to the venue has not changed since 1927 so here are the directions: west to Toronto, through the Princes’ Gates, look to your right. I enjoyed it thoroughly this year. All of the booths, even the one or two which presented architectural design concepts that I didn’t fully understand, were exceptionally well done displaying the absolute best combination of imagination and technical skill. We can all imagine dining al fresco, surrounded by rocks, water and plants, especially after this winter. Can you picture it, GR? It’s a warm summer day; you’ve set up a picnic lunch, tucked in close to the shade of

a mossy rock wall, edged by ferns and with a rill trickling from the wall across your dining table...really! At the J Garfield Thompson Landscape display garden, you will see exactly that. A large natural table rock is cantilevered from the “hillside” and a small stream actually meanders down the centre of the table to be captured by a ground-level basin. This company holds true to their own philosophical approach to landscaping, BioGeometry®. In the middle of a building, in the middle of a big city, in the middle of an interminable winter, I was drawn into their garden and everything else just faded away. Once again, with the school break in full swing, parents and grandparents had the children in tow. Mind you, we didn’t see them looking at the bikini clad mannequins (part of a floral clothing display) nor were they in evidence at the main stage where the suits were talking (Entertaining and clever suits, too, such as Denis Flanagan and Mark Culligan but not what a 10 year old wants to do.) It was very easy to find them-I tracked the happy noises. The Fafard and Floral Dimensions folk had raised gardens set up for “workshops” where the young hortulans could plant up some succulents and this proved to be popular with everyone. Once again the Bienenstock team brought their natural playground and I am convinced that it is the kids who actually had their parents and grandparents in tow. Massive reclaimed logs are shaped into furniture, tunnels, and a gargantuan xylophone. One enormous piece of wood was fashioned into a slide. As I stood beside it, a 4-year old looked up at me and said, “This is how you do it.” Down she went. At the bottom she

stood up and turned an expectant, challenging eye on me. Of course, I slid. And yes, I did say, “Whee!” Enhancing this wonderful playground were some amazing water features that looked so natural you would think the building was constructed around a pristine, undisturbed site. The third display garden I’d like to mention is the Landscape Ontario feature garden, Come Alive Outside. Come Alive Outside is also a movement to get people back into nature- plug it into your browser, read about it and then get out there and do it. This garden, a co-operative effort of designers and installers (there needs to be a better word for these natural artisans) is a showcase of the best our industry has to offer. Dry stacked rock walls with an inset dry stacked rock wall picture, both having a stress fracture artistically running through them imparted a sense of being there so long that they had settled into the natural firmament. The inlay stone work is a testament to craftsmanship and evoked a feeling of playfulness. (Who knew that Spirograph would inspire our leading design architects?) Redwood pods, little enclaves, created private spaces, grass swards continuing around the rock walls lead you to various gardens full of colour and fragrance. In fact, tucked into this one garden were over 1000 blooming bulbs and flowers, over 100 shrubs and trees and more than 70 roses. There is so much more to say but I’ve run out of column space. There’s only one thing for you to do, Gentle Reader, and you do have time enough time: go to Blooms this weekend. Come Alive Inside!
