By Ray Yurkowski

Sports – Brighton – Members of Skate Canada Brighton had their opportunity to be “In the Spotlight,” at the end-of-season carnival held last weekend at Brighton arena. The show featured music from Broadway and beyond.

It’s been a successful season for the local club.

At an invitational competition at Keswick in November, which saw more than 500 entrants from across the province, Skate Canada Brighton members brought home 10 medals – Chloe Barnes, Hallye Ward, gold; Moira Barnes, Harlie Jane Cooper, Carly Payne, Brooklyn Ward, silver; and Moira Barnes, Harlie Jane Cooper, Carly Payne, Brooklyn Ward, bronze.

At a February Winter Skate event in Oshawa, Brooklyn Ward won bronze.

Later that month, Brighton skaters Moira Barnes, Harlie Jane Cooper, Hunter Cooper, Brooklyn Ward and Hallye Ward competed at the Eastern Ontario Section Invitational Competition in Cornwall. Barnes was first in the opening round

and in the semifinals placed fifth.

Last weekend, Chloe Barnes, Moira Barnes, Natalie Cheer, Harlie Jane Cooper, Hunter Cooper, Sydney Fulford, Haylee Gilbert, Charlotte Green, Candice Harnden, Kailey O’Toole, Carly Payne, Cassie Reid, Gina Strong, Grace Tobey, Miranda VanHaarlem, Brooklyn Ward, Hallye Ward, Jaime White, Jordan White and Katelyn White competed at the Northumberland-Durham Interclub Competition in Courtice and took home more than 60 medals. The Brighton club is waiting to find out if they are club champions for the third year in a row.

At press time, the tallying was still in progress.

As well, two Brighton club members mined gold at the Skate Canada test, which are evaluated by national judges – Hunter Cooper and Carly Payne – in their interpretive skate.

“I have been with the Brighton club for five years,” says coach Mandy Payne. “Prior to coming here, no Brighton skaters passed any Skate Canada tests. Now we have two and they both obtained gold!

News – Brighton – At their regular meeting last week, municipal council approved providing inhouse Part Eight Sewage System Management effective July 1.

In October 2013, the Haliburton, Kawartha, and Pine Ridge Health Unit advised municipalities they would not be renewing the management agreements, advising the service would end on June 30.

Sewage system management is required for septic system at developments outside of service areas and is legislated through the Ontario Building Code.

In a report looking at options for providing the service to residents, there were four options considered: contract the work with another health unit, the conservation authority, Northumberland County or through the municipal

building department. And, like any contracted service, the municipality maintains liability. There is no transfer of claim through contracting out.

It turns out; the local option is the most efficient and cost-effective alternative. The Brighton department provides local building inspections and, in 2009, assumed responsibility for plumbing inspections. The benefits of an in-house service would be improved service delivery, lower fees for the Please see “In-house” on page 4

News – Brighton – Council has endorsed deferring the installation of two oil and grit separators until the completion and approval of a Storm Water Master Plan.

Last week’s decision to install the devices followed recommendations in a 2009 report from consultants at Genivar Ontario Inc., who investigated and assessed the municipal stormwater systems and facilities. The assessment suggested Brighton should remove the sediment from the Brighton by the Bay wetland within two

years, and that within five years, it should remove sediment from all manholes and catch basins, and install nine oil and grit separators at critical locations in the stormwater system for $138,000.

Genivar was hired in October 2009 to complete a hydraulic study and design review to satisfy shortterm needs for the local retention ponds and to evaluate the oil and grit separators, also referred to as stormceptors.

“Providing sewage inspections in-house would offer ‘one-stop shopping’ for applicants, in that they deal with one department for all of their permit needs,” said public works director Andrzej Drzewiecki, in his report. “The municipality currently has one full-time chief building official, with support provided by the planning assistant and the construction/ plumbing inspector, who does plumbing inspections as well as back up building inspections. The municipal construction/plumbing inspector is currently certified for Part Eight Septic Systems.”

Brighton will continue to decline,” Drzewiecki told council. In 2010, there were 56 applications. Three years later, there were 27.

“It is to be noted the number of building permit applications is declining, especially for housing units,” he added.

“In 2009, we had 71 applications; in 2013, we had 53.”

The Municipality of Trent Hills provides in-house sewage system management and issue about 80 permits per year. Their permit fee was $500 in 2013 and raised to $600 in 2014. It is expected the Municipality of Brighton will charge similar fees for the service.

In a recorded vote, Mayor Mark Walas, Deputy Mayor Mike Vandertoorn along with Councillors Craig Kerr, Tom Rittwage and Emily Rowley approved the service. Councillors John Martinello and Mary Tadman were opposed.

A new name for the Brighton Chamber

By Ray Yurkowski

News – Brighton – Brighton and District Chamber of Commerce marked its 25th anniversary Monday night under a new banner and a revised set of bylaws.

The change to the BrightonCramahe Chamber of Commerce reflects the affiliation of the two municipalities.

A special guest at the annual general meeting was founding member Lou Rinaldi, who recalled how the idea for a chamber took root around his kitchen table.

“I didn’t do it by myself,” he said. “It was a united team and I still have that table, if anyone wants to borrow it.”

Pre-amalgamation, the membership included the Town of Brighton, Brighton Township, the Town of Colborne, Cramahe Township and Murray Township.

“I remember a quote from somebody at one of the meetings when we were trying to form the chamber, that we’ll never get Brighton

and Colborne to work together,” recalled Rinaldi. “At one of the first official groups, we were able to bridge the communities together and I’m delighted to see that carry on today.

“I wish the chamber, with a new name, a new vision and lots of members, all the success in the world. Keep up the good work.”

Chamber manager Sherry Hamilton told the membership “there has been a lot of community support.

“There is a true atmosphere of collaboration here. I feel it in my role every day.”

The mayors of both municipalities agreed that the new business partnership is a boon to the local economy.

“There is much to be gained by the open dialogue with the Brighton Chamber and working more closely together with Brighton as a common economic corridor,” said Cramahe Mayor Marc Coombs.

“Cramahe council has appointed a

member of council and an alternate to the chamber board (of directors) and we’re genuine in our anticipation that this will be a successful partnership. Three members of our council – myself, Deputy-mayor Jim Williams and Councillor Pat Westrope – wouldn’t be here tonight if we didn’t think this new partnership is a benefit to all of us. I look forward to a prosperous future together.”

Brighton Mayor Mark Walas said his municipality “is committed to supporting and working with the Brighton-Cramahe Chamber of Commerce … and collectively all of you are to be commended for the great work you are doing.

“Economic development is a team effort. It requires all of us to share ideas, to leverage resources and work together. It’s about a new way of thinking. It’s about a clear focus to achieving goals.

“The municipality has come a long way over the past year with many initiatives taking place in part-

Walas concluded his address “Recognizing the current with the news of a provincial economic conditions, the mu- government plan to reconstruct nicipality continues to receive the road into Presqu’ile Pro“to appear at the next council meet- inquiries on the property ad- vincial Park this year, a project ing to answer questions” about a jacent to No Frills, the ESSO that will include new cycling one-page opinion on the practical- property located in the down- lanes along both sides. ity of placing stormceptor devices on Harbour Street and Cedar Street was even less successful.

Even after softening the stance 365 North Front St. Unit 7, Belleville, ON K8P 5A5 to a “request,” in a recorded vote, R0012612740-0327 only Martinello and Tadman backed the proposal.

In a letter, dated March 7, Watson stated that, “at the prescribed locations, there are many underground infrastructure and utilities systems which occupy the road allowance” and “the proposed stormceptor structures will be conflicting and quite close to existing utilities and sanitary sewers.”

“Other locations could be identified which are freer of infrastructure and utility conflicts, and still provide relatively the same extent of stormwater quality treatment,” (613) 969-8884 www.GoMcCoy.com he concluded.

More delays for project tributor to the storm water volume on Cedar Street, south of Raglan Street, is the Harbour Point storm water detention pond,” Drzewiecki said. “We analyzed the effluent samples and found it is very clean.

It does not require any treatment through a stormceptor.”

Drzewiecki also tried to clear up some misconceptions about oil and grit separators.

“Stormceptors are meant to intercept the impurities – oil and sand – that flow in the water,” he said. “They are not meant to prevent dredging because the capacity of the sediment a stormceptor is able to retain is a few tonnes.

When it comes to dredging a marina or other waterways, we are talking about thousands of tonnes.

“My obligation is to recommend projects that are feasible, cost-efficient and beneficial to the residents of Brighton,” he told council. “I have no guarantee this project will produce the

expected results. That’s why I decided to ask for a second opinion.

The cost … will be within a few hundred dollars.”

“Did Genivar drop the ball in not identifying what was there?” asked Mayor Mark Walas. “How did we end up having a report that basically says we can’t implement the recommendations in the (Genivar) report?”

In a recorded vote, Deputy Mayor Mike Vandertoorn and councillors Craig Kerr, Tom Rittwage and Emily Rowley voted in favour of the motion to defer the installation of the separators until the Storm Water Master Plan has been completed and approved.

Walas and councillors John Martinello and Councillor Mary Tadman were opposed.

A second motion, brought forward by Martinello, to “direct” AECOM engineer Garth Watson

TICO#50007364

In June 2013, the contract was awarded but, during preparation work, obstacles were revealed that would significantly raise the cost of the project above the approved budget.

“This project was tendered as a ‘design-built’ contract,” public works director Andrzej Drzewiecki explained to council. “Through the progress of the project, we were encountering a number of technical difficulties, beginning with the finding that what we had in our database for our existing stormwater collection network was not really corresponding to what we have in the ground.

“For example, on Cedar Street, instead of one storm main, in some locations there are three – one on the west side and two on the east side, one running underneath the other, which makes the project difficult to build,” he said.

“Staff investigated the field conditions prior to tendering the project and determined the major con-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

About Brighton’s reserve fund balances and tax increases Dear Editor When I was in undergraduate school my friend Mel P needed to borrow my student loan money, because he needed a new Plymouth. He had to buy it right away because he was moving back to Canada after graduation. In those days one could import a new car into Cana-

da duty free, if one had owned it for so many months while living in the USA. So, he got my money because he needed it: his student loan hadn’t come in yet.

Six months later I asked him if he could pay me back, because I had to pay my tuition. Apparently his student loan had come in, “...but,” he, “had to ask Henry

L if his student loan has come in”. You see, when Mel no longer needed my money he lent it Henry L because he also needed a new car. Ah, those wonderful days when we were all kind of hippy, love was all and money didn’t matter much.

We borrowed from Peter to pay Paul.

Student loans were no longer available once we graduated. We soon realized that if Peter kept borrowing from Paul, both Peter and Paul would run out of money.

My alma mater just disclosed a 160 million dollar boondoggle. They borrowed from Reserve Funds to make certain investments, did some internal borrowing, etc. Our Municipal Budget indicates 1.4 million dollars of “Internal Borrowing” from our Reserve Funds. The first budget draft indicated Reserves of about 5.5 million. A supplementary March 8 document indicated $3,964,190 -- minus $1,378,188 Internal Borrowing, leaving Net Reserves of $2,543,976.84. An interesting way to put that: “Net Reserves”. I take it that real reserves are now 2.5 million. There probably is an additional million in a contingency fund that is not included in Reserve Fund Balances.

Maybe I don’t understand municipal arithmetic. I understand business management and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). I understand that our Urban Infrastructure Reserve Fund for example, which once had nearly 2 million now has $84,000 left. We have similar problems with the Reserve Funds for Recreation, for Sewer and for Water.

Maybe Internal Borrowings has some source of funds we don’t know about – something like the Student Loans of our Hippy days. The problem with borrowing from Reserve Funds is that such borrowing inevitably stresses taxes in following

years. Internal Borrowing is spending the revenue of following years. (Hazel Mc Callion, show us how you managed Brampton so well and without debt!)

I asked one of our councillors where Internal Borrowing gets the money to repay the Reserve Funds. His response was, “From money that comes from taxes. We borrow from ourselves and pay interest to ourselves rather than to a bank.” That seems like a responsible way of doing things, if there are no other options. What about a third option; asking each department to live within its means, no loans? Better yet; how about adding an incentive for staff and employees to see what they can do to fix our problem, with a bonus program -- fifteen cents for every dollar saved?

Sound like a bit much for Brighton?

Utilization of employee suggestions within the objectives of our corporate agenda could save us money. If we keep managing our corporate agenda as we have we will keep getting the same results. A river never rises above its source.

Confrontation breeds contempt and contempt is very expensive. Cooperation and encouragement breed success. And success will add to the bottom line.

Council reluctant to test the water Dear Editor It was a golden opportunity for Brighton Council to shine in the eyes of Gosport and South Brighton residents by reconsidering their decision of August 2012 to forego water quality testing on the inner shores of Brighton Bay (notably Gosport Beach).

Regretfully, the motion was defeated once again at the March 17, 2014 council meeting with Councillors Rowley, Vandertoorn and Kerr voting against and Councillors Martinello, Tadman and Mayor Walas voting for the testing of Gosport swimming area beaches.

While testing continues on a regular basis at Presqu’ile Park beaches during the summer, the residents of the inner bay shores have been given no such consideration even for areas marked with municipal signage as being swimming areas. It should be noted that the signage has been in place for an unknown period of time and was probably in place before the construction of the sewage lagoon and polishing pond. If the Council is dragging its feet over testing, one has to ask the reason why? Councillor Tadman has lived on the Bay Shore for all of her life and knows what it looked like before and after the construction of the lagoon/polishing pond.

I suppose that those voting against testing are concerned that the municipality might be blamed for any degradation. If the water proves to be unfit for swimming, it appears that some members of council do not want to know and are hiding their heads in the sand. Some argued about the cost of testing which would be minimal.

Others had concerns about liability which is a red herring as the waters of Presqu’ile Park beaches are tested regularly, and if a problem is found, the beaches are posted to protect beach users. I have not heard or read about any testing staff being sued.

If the beach is posted, it is your choice to take a risk (assume liability) or refrain from swimming. Surely the same consideration could be afforded the residents of Gosport and South Brighton.

Nigeria: Is 100 years enough?

Editorial - The reason they convened a National Conference to discuss Nigeria’s future last week is that it’s the hundredth anniversary of the unification of the northern and southern protectorates into one nation. Well, one colony, actually, since the whole place would remain under British rule for another half-century. And the one subject the delegates are banned from discussing is whether unification was really such a Gwynne Dyer good idea.

It was an excellent idea from the viewpoint of the British colonial administrators, of course.

Not only was it tidier, but it crippled resistance to British rule.

When you force five hundred different ethnic groups with as many languages into a single political entity, they will spend more time fighting one another than the foreigners. (Even Nigeria’s name was invented by the British.)

A century later, the country is still riven by ethnic and religious divisions that distort both its politics and its economy.

Nigeria is one of the world’s biggest oil producers, but twothirds of its 170 million people live on less than $2 a day and even the big cities only get electricity four hours a day.

It ranks 144th on Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index, which means in practice that most public funds are stolen.

In the mainly Muslim north, an extremist Islamic insurgency by a group called Boko Haram (“Western Education is Forbidden”) killed more than 1,300 people in the first two months of this year. Or rather, they and the brutal and incompetent army units who respond to their attacks with indiscriminate violence together accounted for 1,300 lives.

And when Lamido Sanusi, the internationally respected head of Nigeria’s central bank, accused the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) of failing to repatriate $20 billion of the $67 billion received for oil sales between January 2012 and July 2013, President Goodluck Jonathan suspended him for “financial recklessness and misconduct.”

“Failing to repatriate” actually means that the money stayed abroad and disappeared into the foreign bank accounts of powerful Nigerians. This is normal: it has been estimated that two-thirds of the $600 billion that Nigeria has earned in the past fifty years from selling its oil was lost to corruption by the political and business elite. What was unusual was for a member of the elite to challenge the practice openly.

Sanusi, who was named Central Bank Governor of the Year in 2010 by Banker magazine, was promptly accused of links to Boko Haram in a document circulated to Nigerian websites that was traced back to President Jonathan’s social

media adviser. It was a typical establishment response, and it was total nonsense. But a depressing number of southern Nigerians will believe almost anything about Sanusi simply because he is a northern Muslim.

He is actually a member of the northern aristocracy – his grandfather was the emir of Kano – and an Islamic scholar who condemns Wahhabist fundamentalism. He is one of Nigeria’s foremost advocates of a tolerant, inclusive Islam: “Even a cursory student of Islamic history knows that all the trappings of gender inequality present in the Muslim society have socio-economic and cultural, as opposed to religious roots,” he said recently.

Yet the mistrust between Muslims and Christans, northerners and southerners, is so great that Sanusi’s whistle-blowing is seen by many southerners as a political operation aimed at the Christian president. They believe this even though they also know that the money really was stolen by people at the NNPC, and that Goodluck Jonathan is protecting them because some of it was going to be used to finance his re-election campaign next year.

And why does Jonathan need so much money? To buy the support of the northern power-brokers, who will then deliver the votes to keep him in the presidency. Then he will be able to go on protecting his friends. It’s a closed system, and it’s making Sanusi more radical by the moment.

Recently he told the Guardian: “If the population as a whole starts protesting what is going on in our country, how many of them can they kill?” He added that the ousted leaders of Ukraine and the Arab spring nations “never did half as much damage to their countries as our rulers have.”

But Sanusi is unlikely to bring the system down. That is why, at the National Conference on Nigeria’s future that meets in Abuja over the next three months, some people will certainly defy the ban and start talking about re-dividing Nigeria between north and south. They will mostly be southerners, who resent the large amounts of oil income that the federal government transfers to the northern states that desperately need the money.

Northerners will fiercely resist the idea of partition because they would be left running a country only slightly better off than Mali. (Despite the transfers of oil revenue, 72 percent of the population in the North lives in poverty; in the South, only 27 percent does.) And in the end, nothing will happen, because cutting off the North would spoil the game.

Nigeria is unquestionably the most dysfunctional large country in the world, but it will hang together because all the elites benefit from the dysfunction, which allows them to steal massive amounts with complete impunity. Indeed, you might say that Nigeria survives because it is dysfunctional.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Spying breaches our privacy rights Dear Editor I am writing to express my disgust at the government and its “spy” agency CSEC (Communications Security Establishment Canada). I am very concerned about how government spying has grown secretive, expensive, and out-of-control.

It’s just been revealed that an independent inquiry has found guilty of misusing public funds and “serious breaches” of values and ethics. I’ve been upset and shocked to learn how they are using taxpayer dollars to spy on innocent Canadians. We know they spied on thousands of law-abiding airport travelers, and even tracked their movements for weeks after.

The type of data CSEC is collecting on us can reveal everything from our financial status, to our medical history, our sexual orientation, and even our religious and political beliefs. Does this scare you?

If it doesn’t it should. With the ease and proliferation of

hacking these days, any cyber-criminal, any despot or fascist politician in any country, can use this information against you in the future. I understand data mining information can be kept for 15 years. We have no idea who will be in power then, or what their agenda will be. CSEC is working in partnership with the USA’s NSA. All of their spying activities are making our sensitive information more susceptible to identity theft and vulnerable to attack.

Privacy is a fundamental right in any healthy democracy.

By spying on us and collecting our private information in giant databases, the government is doing damage to our already frail Canadian democracy. Our democracy is under attack and I would encourage everyone to learn more about these threats. You can find more information at OurPrivacy.ca.

Cardiac recovery improves but more needs to be done

By Bill Freeman Editorial - It’s been almost 11 months to the day that I had my very close and totally unexpected brush with death on a day like any other but one that ended with me stripped out of my running gear and unconscious, intubated, and in an ORNGE ambulance on my way to Toronto General Hospital after an earlier ambulance trip to Peterborough Regional Hospital and its lifesaving cardiology facility.

That ten-minute ambulance ride to PRHC and the emergency Percutaneous Cardiac Intervention (PCI) procedure performed by Dr. Eric Horlock was absolutely critical, so was his assessment of a dysfunctional mitral valve and the decision to send me on to Toronto for more attention.

The fact that I had also gone into cardiogenic shock added to the cascade of woe. Yet here I am alive and well and power-walking up a storm, able to do around ten Ks in a one-hour stretch. I’m one of the lucky ones, a member of an increasingly larger group of survivors who got the prompt care they needed.

But I’m also one of a much smaller group of people who embarked on a supervised cardio rehabilitation program then stuck with the plan under nothing more than my own guidance and determination to move myself further away from the Grim Reaper.

There is a portion of my heart’s functioning that’s not going to come back; I know that and have the cath chart to prove it so I’ve accepted that reality. But there are ways to make what exists as strong and healthy as possible and that’s what I am doing with my own personal rehabilitation regime which also includes healthy eating, making sure medications are taken and managing stress, the hardest part of all.

Apart from family history (a looming risk factor in its own right) I really don’t fit the typical profile of a cardiac emergency waiting to happen so when I read about hockey players like Rich Peverley, Kris Letang or Jiri Fischer I take notice. They were as surprised as I was.

I’m pretty confident right now that my heart health level, even with the damage done, is better than that of many people who have never experienced a cardiac crisis and have never had their heart pumping strength measured by a battery of tests, examinations and fibre optic probing.

What is remarkable today is that 90 per cent of heart attack victims and 80 per cent of stroke victims who make it to the hospital will survive. I’m one of 165,000 survivors in 2013.

According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s 2014 Report on Health, the death rate from cardiovascular disease has declined by 75 per cent over the past 60 years – 40 per cent in the last decade alone.

Still, there are 350,000 hospitalizations a year in Canada due to heart and stroke – I was one of them – and each year there are 50,000 new cases of heart disease diagnosed, 70,000 heart attacks and 50,000 strokes. Heart and stroke remain two of the three leading causes of death in Canada and yet 80 per cent of premature heart and stroke is preventable.

Cardiac rehabilitation plays a huge role in elevating the positives in the lives of people who have experienced a heart attack or stroke. Studies show that it reduces mortality by at least 25 per cent but the critical disconnect here is that there aren’t enough programs available to those who need them and those that do exist are not funded by public healthcare.

The Report on Health indicates that only one-third of cardiac survivors eligible for rehab are referred to a program; the statistics are even lower for stroke survivors, 19 per cent.

“Rehabilitation cannot reverse all the effects of cardiovascular disease but it supports survivors in innumerable ways,” the Heart and Stroke Foundation report says.

I enjoyed my eight weeks of rehab under the care of a specially-trained emergency room nurse, side-by-side with five other survivors of various ages and experience with exercise and illness. The sessions included talks on a number of related topics like nutrition, stress, medications and cardiac emergencies. There were plenty of kilometres logged watching The Property Brothers on TV. It was a valuable re-entry into the world of activity after such a staggering life-changing event, but the programs are rare and not easily accessible.

I was the one asking about rehab while lying in ICU. “There are simply not enough programs and they should be a funded part of the healthcare system. They are not and they should be, after all you do not have to pay for cardiac procedures,” says Dr. Neville Suskin, medical director of the cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention program at St. Joseph’s Health Care in London, Ontario.

Brilliant and timely intervention saved my life; cardiac rehab awakened the possibility of a healthy and active future.

Let the public decide on bridge location, steering committee told

By John Campbell

News – Campbellford – The decision on where to build another bridge in town, beside the existing structure or downstream at Second and Alma streets, shouldn’t be left in the hands of politicians, a long-time resident of Trent Hills said last Saturday.

“Present it to the people and let them vote,” Susan Summerfeldt told members of Northumberland County’s bridge steering committee at a public information centre held at the high school.

The retired educator who has lived in Trent Hills for more than 35 years said local residents made Campbellford their home because “it’s small (and) intimate,” and “to choose a bridge for this town is a very personal thing, people are passionate about it.”

That passion was on display at times during the hour-long question period that followed a 30-minute presentation by transportation planner Don Drackley who explained why his company, IBI Group, has concluded it’s better to build a Second Street bridge than to erect one beside the bridge downtown.

About 155 people showed up for his presentation on the pros and cons of each, with the second alternative being judged superior in most respects, based on the criteria used to evaluate the two options. There were six areas looked at: transportation, cost, and the social, cultural, natural and economic environments at each site.

Second Street resident Mary Brown asked that when the bridge steering committee votes on the consultant’s recommendation April 25, that it be done by secret ballot.

The issue has “dragged on for nearly seven years (and become) so controversial,” that “it has caused a considerable amount of upset in the community,” she said. “In some cases people are afraid to talk about or take sides on the issue because their businesses or their relationships with friends and coworkers may suffer.”

Brown said members of the steering committee “need to be able to vote freely according to their conscience.”

Second Street resident Brenda Kotras said putting a bypass through “vibrant, residential neighbourhoods” where there are recreational areas and apartment buildings with “lots of pedestrian traffic,” to accommodate trucks and cars passing through Campbellford will increase “the potential for tragic accidents.”

Drackley said the Second Street alternative offers “the best long-term benefits to this community.”

“We’re not going to wish this problem away,” Mayor Hector Macmillan said. No matter what the cost or how much traffic will be crossing the river, the existing bridge needs to be replaced when it reaches the end of its service life, in 20 to 30 years, he said.

Bonnie Wilson was the lone person among the

Mary Brown was the first of 13 people to address the bridge steering committee in the question period that concluded the public information centre March 22. She suggested the committee vote by ballot when deciding on which recommendation for a new bridge to support. Photo: John Campbell

13 people who asked questions to show support for the consultant’s preferred option. The apartments on either side of the bridge are an eyesore, she admitted, but they do provide housing for people who “are not well-off,” and the occupants, especially single people, will have trouble finding accommodations elsewhere if the buildings are torn down to accommodate a twinned bridge.

Property-owners on Second and Alma streets will be compensated for the loss of their homes or adverse impacts while tenants downtown “will be getting nothing but the boot,” she said.

Wilson said the bridge issue has been “studied to death” and “too much money has been spent” on the subject.

Mobushar Pannu, the county’s director of transportation and waste management told Wilson that the combined fees of the various consultants that have worked on the project since 2008 add up to more than $800,000.

Alan Clough said IBI”s projection of a slight but steady increase in traffic volume over the bridge is “totally absurd,” when the trend across North America is a decline in the number of vehicle miles travelled.

Des Conacher said Campbellford “is going to get destroyed” if a bridge is put on Second Street where there are designated heritage properties. He pointed out Trent Hills official plan says development “should consider and reflect the character and the streetscape of the area.

I say a bridge that size ain’t gonna respect that street.”

After the steering committee meets, it will be left to the councils of Trent Hills and Northumberland County to make their decision in June.

A formal notice that the environment assessment has been completed will be issued, followed by a 30-day public review.

Brookshire Developments ready to move forward with Phase Two

By Kate Everson

News – Quinte West – The second stage of the Brookshire Meadows subdivision on 2nd Dug Hill Road has won the approval of the Planning Advisory Committee. Phase 2 entails 34 lots of single detached residential lots and three residential blocks for freehold town homes.

“The development is ready to move forward,” said Brian Jardine, director of planning and development.

Councillor Jim Alyea said three callers have expressed concerns to him about the proposed subdivision.

“There was some concern with noise,” Alyea said. “They wanted to know about the berm and the fence. That was part of the conditions with CN Rail to absorb the noise, not bounce off it.”

One caller wondered if the subdivision

was proceeding too fast. “I can’t deny that,” Alyea said. “It is moving fast.”

Another person griped about the stormwater pond, but Alyea said he checked it out himself and found everything is going well.

“It is an impressive subdivision,” commented John Gooding, project and development coordinator with public works. “Each house has its own stormwater lateral. We’ve never had that before in Quinte West.”

He said there will also be a park.

“It’s a great subdivision,” Gooding said. “I’m glad it is proceeding.”

Jardine said this is the second phase in the land’s development, with one more to go, at the back of the property.

The Brookshire Meadows subdivision received draft plan approval from the

Trenton Figure Skating Club gets $500 from city

By Kate Everson

News – Quinte West – Council has changed its mind about donating ice time for the Trenton Figure Skating Club’s carnival.

“We need to take $500 off their ice bill,” Councillor Doug Whitney said.

Councillor Leslie Roseblade said she had received an email from the club after the city had refused its request.

“They clarified the ice time,” she said. “They only use two hours for the carnival but get charged for six hours of ice time.”

She felt the club should only get charged for the hours they skate.

Councillor Paul Kyte agreed. “This is an investment in youth,” he said.

Councillor Terry Cassidy was concerned with the process.

“We didn’t deal with it very well,” he said. “Corporate finance needs to get a sensible policy. There is inconsistency.”

The Trenton Figure Skating Club will hold its spring carnival this Sunday, March 30 from 1 to 4 p.m. The theme is Around the World and features 70 of the club skaters as well as two celebrity

skaters, Alaine Chartrand from Canada Skate and silver medalist Trennt Michaud.

Festival chair Crystal Weese said the club can really use the $500 donation which will help cover costs of $739.

“Our club is down slightly this year,” Weese said. “The cost of renting the ice is the largest expense. We need six hours for the carnival to set up and do a warmup as well as the festival itself.”

She says the carnival is a chance for the skaters to showcase their skills to family, friends and the community.

President Cathy Pye notes the club is always fundraising to pay for ongoing expenses.

The Trenton Figure Skating Club has been going since 1957 and the carnival is the last event of the year. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $10 each, $5 for children up to 12; there’s no charge for children under four.

Frankford Figure Skating Club is also having a carnival this weekend, on Saturday, March 29 from 1 to 3 p.m. featuring all their local skater, including a father-and-daughter skate.

city in August, 2013. The amended draft plan encompasses 143 single detached residential lots, seven blocks for freehold town homes, and stormwater management and parkland blocks.

Phase 2 involves the extension of Aspen Drive and Birchmount Streets and the creation of two new streets,

Springfield Crescent and Woodburn Drive.

The advisory committee also approved a zoning amendment for 342 Christiani Road, owned by Kenneth Lee, from A2-General Rural to A3 Rural Residential. The property has about six acres of land with 570 feet of frontage

on Christiani Road.

Also approved was a zoning amendment at 216 Carter Road, owned

429 Squadron flies last troops out of Afghanistan

By Ross Lees

News – Quinte West – There was reason for celebration and remembrance as the final CC-177 Globemaster III crew from 429 ‘Bison’ Transport Squadron arrived back home at 8 Wing Trenton, after delivering the last 100 Canadian troops out of Afghanistan.

8 Wing Commander Col. David Lowthian said he was proud of the teamwork demonstrated by all 8 Wing personnel involved in the mission to Afghanistan, noting that 8 Wing’s contribution started with the CC-130 Hercules with 429 and 436 squadrons and ended with the CC-117 Globemaster III. “If you were to call the CC-130 Hercules the workhorse for our troops in Afghanistan, we could say the CC-177 Globemaster was the lifeline for our troops that operated in Afghanistan,� he

remarked as members of 429 Squadron gathered to welcome the last CC-117 crew home on March 18.

Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp, representing the minister of defence, said he was delighted to express in person the gratitude felt by the people of the Quinte region, the province and the entire country for the great job done by members of the Canadian Armed Forces in general and those at 8 Wing in particular. “I’ve experienced the highs and lows of what you’ve done,� he said. “I’ve been here for some of the repatriations – the horrible price that has been paid – but also the accomplishments – over 32,000 troops and 65 million pounds of freight to Kabul, Kandahar and Bagram airfields in direct support of coalition forces. That’s absolutely incredible and

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 more than 1,800 operational flying hours on more than 320 missions in the Arabian Gulf Region.

During the 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 429 Squadron’s contribution to the material to a bombed-out 3,900 foot long runway under direct small arms Afghanistan mission 429 ‘Bison’ Transport Squadron has and rocket fire.

With the introduction of the CC-117 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. 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.

From 2007 to March 18, 2014, 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 to 10 days to complete.

County supports collaboration among municipalities, not amalgamation

By John Campbell

News – Northumberland County – The county and its seven member municipalities will continue to work on ways to share services and save costs, but amalgamation or annexation won’t be among them.

“Municipal structural change does not guarantee cost savings or service improvements,” and it “can be a politically charged process,” said a report prepared by the Northumberland CAOs’ Committee whose recommendations were adopted by county council March 19.

The committee’s eight chief administrative officers pointed out in their report, Achieving More Cost Effective Municipal Government Across Northumberland County, that the county and the seven municipalities, in whole or in part, already work together or are looking to collaborate in 236 service areas.

More than 100 partnerships involving tourism, fire, economic development, finance, information technology, planning, transportation and more are already in place.

“The extent of the work being done currently can leave no doubt as to the commitment to collaboration of the administrations of the County and member municipalities,” the CAOs said. “These ongoing efforts to improve efficiencies and gain greater levels of effectiveness are

anticipated to flourish with the positive encouragement of our elected representatives.”

The endorsement they sought was unanimously given by council which had asked last October for an informational report on ways to cut costs in the face of rising costs and inconsistent funding among the challenges it faces. The initial motion offered as one possible solution amalgamation that could result in singletier government, East and West Northumberland, or clusters of municipalities.

However, five municipalities – Trent Hills, Brighton, and the townships of Cramahe, Hamilton, and Alnwick-Haldimand – subsequently passed resolutions saying they did not support “any discussions regarding changes to the current municipal governance structure.”

County council simply referred the resolutions to the CAOs without offering further direction.

“We think we should continue focusing on where we think we can actually increase effectiveness through collaborative opportunities,” Northumberland CAO Elizabeth Savill said in presenting the committee’s report.

The report listed numerous areas where discussions on collaborative efforts are ongoing, including bylaw enforcement, animal control, fire dispatch, library services, human resources,

county-wide policing, and recreational programming.

“Not all projects will reduce service costs but desirable improvements or enhancements may nonetheless result,” Savill told council. Every effort will be made to provide “greater benefit to residents and property taxpayers.”

The CAOs committee committed to providing annual reports on the progress being made, with the first one scheduled for October.

Council members thanked the committee for its report and recommendations.

Alnwick-Haldimand Mayor Dalton McDonald said the province is “bailing” on the level of funding it provides municipalities, so they will have to look to each other for support.

“We do not sustain ourselves on our own without partnerships,” he said. However, county councillors will have to “sell the comfort level” for such arrangements to their own councils and taxpayers, who are “leery” about sharing services with other municipalities, fearing “they will take us for a ride ... It’s something we’re really going to have to work on in the next few years.”

Cobourg Mayor Gil Brocanier echoed his colleagues’ comments, saying the committee did “a wonderful job ... I feel really good about moving forward.”

Glen Miller Community Church celebrates 170th anniversary

By Ron Gibson

News – Quinte West – A community church, Christ Anglican in Glen Miller, is observing its 170th anniversary on Sunday, March 30 with a special service at 1:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome.

One of the earliest rural churches in Quinte West, Christ Anglican was consecrated in 1843. The present church, along the west bank of the Trent River, replaced the original structure, which was consumed by fire back about 1943. Services have been carried out regularly every week at the small parish with a morning service held at 9 a.m. each Sunday.

Today, Christ Anglican Church is under a joint charge consisting of St. George’s Trenton and Holy Trinity Frankford, as well as Glen Miller.

News – Belleville – The scene at the annual Belleville General Hospital Foundation gala figures to be a colourful one this year. BGHF staff announced at Amica at Quinte Gardens Thursday that the theme for the upcoming gala would be “A Night at the Tiki Lounge.” BGHF fundraising coordinator Sue Rollins said she was excited about the costume possibilities at this year’s gala.

“I love the theme, it’s so much fun,” Rollins said. “With a Night at the Tiki Lounge, which was really big back in the 1960s, it lends itself to dressing 60s formal sheik or even just formal, because you’re going out to a tiki lounge. Or you can wear grass skirts and coconut bras or beachwear or whatever you’re comfortable with... there’s a great variety.”

Taking place on Saturday, September 20 at the Sears Atrium in Belleville, the annual event marks the largest fundraiser of the year for the BGHF. In 2013 more than $290,000 was raised to purchase new equipment for the Belleville General Hospital. The theme in 2013 revolved around the John Travolta classic Grease, and Rollins said having a theme

attached to the gala each year is just another way to make the event as “fun” as possible.

“We find that people just love to have fun, and they really enjoy having a costume to wear,” Rollins said.

In total, the event has raised almost $1 million for hospital equipment over the past several years, and in 2014 Rollins said the goal will be $320,000, the highest goal the foundation has ever set.

Funds from the event are earmarked to help with cancer care at BGH. “When we talk about cancer care a lot of people quickly think about the oncology clinic,” Rollins said, explaining that funds raised will likely be used throughout the hospital. “But the reality is with cancer care, and a cancer care journey, it really takes you a lot of different places, from diagnostics and the lab to the oncology clinic.”

Tickets for the gala are $200 and are available by contacting the BGHF offices at 613-969-7400 ext. 2061.

Sponsorship and auction donation opportunities are also available. For more information visit the BGHF website at www.bghf.ca.

which the Miller family turned back to the church.

Major modifications were made to the building. It was soon converted to a sanctuary and church structure with stained glass windows provided with diligent support of Peter Miller and his wife. Subsequently, other members of the Miller family provided ongoing support to the small church.

The supportive congregation continued to make changes and in recent years have added a distinguished hall and improved kitchen facilities.

The mission statement for the joint congregation is “to know Christ and to make Christ known.”

The friendly congregation at Christ Church welcomes everyone to their morning services and invites all newcomers to become familiar with the many programs and services provided by Christ Church.

regularly conducted with clergy, Rev. Steve Timpson and assistant curate, Rev. Ada Rochford. They are also assisted by their honorary assistants Rev. Thora Rowe, Rev. Sid Horne and Rev. Dr. Norman Martin.

Several former clergy will be taking part in the anniversary service. The small church boasts of local families and supporters of the parish. The original church was situated immediately north of the present site.

It was initially a family home until the parish acquired it following the fire that destroyed the original white, frame building. The congregation continued to meet in Glen Miller at the paper mill’s clubhouse, situated just up the road, now owned by Sonoco Limited.

It was then Trent Valley Paperboard Mills.

Around 1946, the owners sold the house to the church for the sum of one dollar,

Bullying is a community problem: speaker News – Quinte West – Bullying is much more than just a problem faced by students.

It’s a societal problem, a community problem, says Jasmin Roy, philanthropist, actor, host, author, director, reporter, columnist, speaker and one of the leaders of the Opération Enfant Soleil Telethon and the creator of the Jasmin Roy Foundation in 2010.

After speaking to students at École secondaire Marc-Garneau he told reporters he wanted the students “to understand the impact of bullying on the human brain and their self-esteem.

“I said to them, it’s not because you have been bullied in your life – like Céline Dion – that you’re not going to be able

to have a successful career or be able to accomplish things in life,” he said. “The specialists say that when the bullies understand the consequences of bullying, that’s when they change. So I don’t talk about the violence, but what that violence caused to me inside. I had to deal with anxiety problems, depression, even when I was a teenager and as an adult.”

Those problems remain with him and still must be negotiated with as a condition of his life, Roy said.

Roy, who was bullied from a very young age, holds the seminars to try to prevent teenagers from experiencing the same kind of life problems. His program has been taught so far mostly in Quebec, but he wants to expand it across Canada.

Students’ reaction to his seminars has often surprised their teachers and principals of the schools, Roy said. He is often advised by them “it will be tough” at their school and then are amazed by the result.

Roy said they often have to stop the seminar before the students are finished asking questions.

“I don’t lie!” he said. “It’s my story and when I talk about all the problems with girls right now, the girls who say ‘slut,’ ‘bitch,’ and ‘whore,’ I think we have a society problem,” he stated. “It’s more than just bullying. It’s how the young girls deal with their own identity.”

Roy also holds seminars at elementary schools to students in Grade 4 and above. He told of being at one recently and getting

Skiers did not disappoint at being dummies News – Batawa -This downhill was for dummies – literally!

Batawa Ski Hill held its annual Dummy Downhill March 22 and the dummies did not disappoint. The track was steep, the jump was big and the equipment went flying everywhere.

Steve Smith, from the Frontenac Zone Canadian Ski Patrol, created the winning dummy. A protest accusing him of using all the bandages at the hill was dismissed after the patrol shack was searched and extra bandages found.

Racer 3, who looks a lot like Sully, got some great airtime and finished in second.

Steezy Neet was a very creative entry that had a little trouble keeping it on course and finished in third. The winning dummy was by the Frontenac Zone ski patrol. Photo: Submitted The entries were judged on creativity, realism, speed, airtime and crashes.

A morning snow added to already amazing conditions at the Batawa Ski Hill and the sun was peeking out in the afternoon. The winter that will not go away is making it tons of fun to come out skiing and snowboarding.

The ski hill will be open until March 30; people are advised to check with the website or call 613-398-6568 to H&R BLOCK® confirm the hours of operation.

There are two more fun activities 29 Elizabeth Street, Brighton, ON planned to finish off the season, the Tel: 613-475-3365 Season Finally Rail Jam on March 29 www.hrblock.ca R0012536572 and the Puddle Jump March 30. Lots of fun to try or to watch.

questions from students about anxiety and sleeping problems.

He couldn’t believe these issues were being affecting children so young.

His seminar for adults is different from the one he gives to students.

“I still talk about my story, but with the parents, we need to talk about the perceptions because they are used to saying to their children or teenagers, ‘You need to fight back.’ We need to change that mentality.

Parents have to work with the school.”

Roy said bullying is sometimes misidentified.

“Some parents say their child was bullied, but it may only be

once or twice a year and if it’s between friends, it’s not bullying but conflict. Usually bullying is not between friends,” he said.

“Bullying is not only a problem between the victim and the bully,” he continued.

“It’s a community problem. You need to work on the community and the school is a microcommunity. You need to work on the ensemble because 99 per cent of the time, the aggression is in front of others. There are more people who are observers than victims or bullies.”

Questions are often asked about suicide. Roy warned it’s an issue that must be dealt with carefully.

“Usually when they commit

suicide, they are dealing with more than just bullying. We have to be careful with that. It’s a part of a bigger problem,” he said.

Roy wrote a book about his experiences with bullying as a gay student; at first it was more like homophobia, he said. The second part of his book is about young people today dealing with similar problems.

“After that, I opened my fight to all forms of bullying because I realized it was the same pattern,” he said. “Young people have a problem – anxiety, depression and they’re quitting school, so that’s why I decided to fight, to change this mentality.”

FOCUS

FARMING

Safety For Aging Farmers

Aging is a naturally occurring process that has important implications for agricultural safety and health. Although many senior farmers and farm workers make some allowances for age-related reductions in physical strength, speed, agility, sight and hearing, they can no longer handle some routine work tasks. Injury data and anecdotal evidence suggest that senior farmers become more susceptible to work-related injuries as they move into there 60s. and at dusk or at night. They may work inside darkened becomes less effective in sensing body position and working situations, such as: Age-Related Changes as haymows and grain storage, and climb and descend movement, thereby increasing the potential risk of falls • The manipulation of tractor and machinery controls.

Risk Factors in Farm Fatalities Age-related sensory and physical impairments occur among senior farm operators at various rates. Eyesight, hearing, balance, muscle strength, and reaction time may remain good for some individuals who are well beyond age 65, while becoming significantly poorer in others.

Vision

As a person ages, there is a gradual decline in the ability of the eye to detect normal environmental stimuli. Because visual stimuli create awareness and guide information processing and reactions, impaired eyesight increases risk for senior farmers.

The ability to interact safely with the farm environment is highly dependent on the ability to see objects clearly at different distances, distinguish colors, quickly adapt to changing light conditions, and focus both eyes on an object.

Generally, to see objects as clearly as they did when they were age 20, many 45-year-olds need four times as much light. By age 60, the amount of light required to see clearly is double that needed by 45-year-olds.

Older individuals routinely work in situations with inadequate lighting.

They may operate farm machinery on overcast days

stairs in dimly lit buildings.

Hearing

Another change associated with aging is hearing loss.

All people eventually suffer some hearing loss as a result of aging, ear disease, and exposure to loud noises.

In addition to normal hearing loss, studies suggest that farm workers of all ages have higher levels of noiseinduced hearing loss than the general population.

Such losses result from excessive exposure to loud noise from tractors, field and farmstead machinery, animals, and other sources.

Senior farmers who have difficulty hearing words or sounds may not be able to detect warning signals, such as the sounding of an automobile horn, the approach of a fast-moving animal, or the warning yell of a coworker. Hearing loss in each of these instances may lead directly to a fatality.

Sense of Balance

An individual’s sense of balance is controlled by specialized structures (the vestibular system) located in the inner ear.

The structures provide information about the position of the head and also sense the speed and direction of body movements. With aging, the vestibular system

for older persons.

A vestibular system whose function has been impaired may also result in the sensation of dizziness in some individuals, again putting senior persons at risk for falls.

Some situations in which the loss of balance and a feeling of dizziness increase the risk of injury for senior farmers include: • Driving and other tasks where a feeling of dizziness may affect concentration.

• Walking across an uneven surface such as hay in a haymow, or moving about in a small fishing boat.

• Dizziness or a loss of balance around tractors and farm machinery poses a particularly serious safety risk of seniors falling into moving or unguarded parts of the equipment.

Muscular capability impairment

Flexibility in the joints of the shoulders, arms and legs; adequate muscle strength; and good posture also are important functional criteria for senior farm worker’s safety.

The process of aging causes collagen, the main supportive protein in the skin, tendons, joint cartilage, and connective tissues, to become irregular in shape.

The irregularly shaped collagen may reduce spine flexibility and create pain and discomfort in many

• Lifting, carrying, and loading objects.

• Mounting and dismounting machinery; and climbing up and down stairs.

• Another cause of limited joint movement in senior farmers is arthritis in the joints of the knees, hips, and fingers.

• Reduced capability to move any of these joints may limit a tractor operator’s ability to reach and manipulate controls.

• It also may reduce an operator’s ability to turn his or her head or neck far enough to monitor pulled machinery or check for traffic on the highway before making a turn or changing lanes.

• Reduced muscle strength often compounds joint impairments like arthritis, rheumatism, bursitis, and frozen shoulder.

• Any one of these impairments, or a combination of them, may significantly increase the risk of injury to senior farmers by decreasing and delaying their responses to hazardous situations.

There are benefits that come with age. Older farmers have the wisdom and experience that many younger workers lack. Use the enhanced judgment and skill to compensate for the decreases in reaction time and muscle strength that are inevitable.

Bergveld said food hubs are being developed at Grills Orchards and Rancho Tranquillo to ensure that local products are being used in the Good Food Box program.

“Food security means that all people have access to an adequate supply of safe, affordable and nutritious food, without social and economic barriers,” she said. “The Food Security Network has listed Hastings County as the second worst in the province.”

The idea is to work with the agricultural communities in the Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) project area to create partnerships and

opportunities to make local products available in different formats on a year-round basis.

Joe Mullin, operation manager of the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Centre, reviewed the plant plans and equipment setup for the committee.

“Many partnerships will be formed by the centre,” he said. “They can be accessed by the local producers that utilize the facility to assist in determining best practices for processing, labelling and marketing of their product.”

of employees that can be utilized by the producers. Mullin said he has met with temporary agencies to set up a pool of seasonal workers who can be utilized when required.

Henny Bergveld asked what area would be serviced by the centre. Mullin said local producers will be given preference but requests from outlying producers will be accommodated when scheduling and space permits.

Agricultural producers in the BRE participation area will be eligible for membership and use of the facility.

Vice-chair Jack Ketcheson asked if there would be any connection with the University of Guelph’s food sciences division. Mullin said he had recently discussed partnership opportunities with the University of Guelph and Guelph Food Technology.

A 22,000-square-foot building is currently under construction in Colborne’s Industrial Park. The agri-food venture centre will occupy 15,000 square feet and the rest will be leased out.

Ketcheson said he hopes the facility will fill the gap left by the closing of canning facilities throughout the area.

Hamilton asked about the financial backing for the facility. Mellor said each of the BRE participant municipalities are being asked to contribute $5,000.

The committee passed a motion asking the city of Quinte West to support the Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre with a $5,000 contribution.

News – Quinte West – Harvest Hastings is helping ensure local products get into the community’s cupboards.

“In 2013 we formed new partnerships to introduce more local artisans and producers to the area,” Klaasje Bergveld told the agricultural advisory committee.

Speaking on behalf of the board of directors of Harvest Hastings, Bergveld said the group has got involved in the Local Woods Initiative and assisted in upgrading farmers’ markets in places such as Bancroft and Marmora.

“Identifying where Harvest Hastings fits with other local organizations of similar interests and mandates has been a challenge,” she admitted.

Volunteers prepare for annual Daffodil pin campaign, bringing spring early to Campbellford

By Sue Dickens

News – Campbellford – The hardy bright yellow daffodils will be arriving early this year in spite of an unusually cold and stormy winter as the Campbellford Branch of the Canadian Cancer Society gets ready for its spring fundraising campaign.

Daffodil pins replaced the live perennials a couple of years ago to help cut costs while still using long lasting symbol of the fight against the deadly disease.

Lida Berger, who is now busy telephoning the volunteers in preparation for this year’s campaign, is a cancer survivor.

“I’ve had cancer so I know what it’s like and I really wanted to do something nice for the Cancer Society by helping to volunteer,” she told The Independent.

She and Sandra Graham have organized the volunteers for the campaign for many years.

“This year Sandra is taking a one-year sabbatical for health reasons but we are hoping she will be back for next year’s campaign,” said Berger, while

she looked at the list of names of volunteers she will be phoning over the next couple of weeks.

“We have close to 70 or 80 volunteers who help us.”

The volunteers will be asking for donations in exchange for daffodil pins at several locations in Campbellford, including No Frills, Sharpe’s Food Market, Giant Tiger and the three banks, TD-Canada Trust, Bank of Montreal and the Royal Bank.

“These volunteers are all friends of the Cancer Society,” said Lynn Forgrave, pastpresident of the Campbellford branch. He has been involved with the local organization for a decade or more.

His office, Forgrave Financial, at 39 Doxsee St. South, has always been headquarters for both the daffodil campaign and the annual Trent Hills Relay for Life event which is usually held in September.

“I first got involved with fundraising for the society mainly because there’s been cancer in my family and ... it’s something worth doing,” Forgrave said.

The society depends on the money raised for much-needed research and the support and information it provides people with cancer and their family, friends and caregivers.

“What is particularly important as well is the ability to drive patients to their source of treatment,” Forgrave added.

The society relies on volunteer drivers to help transport cancer patients.

“Last year millions of dollars was spent on transportation. Our costs are more because patients from here have to go a long distance for treatment, to either Kingston or Toronto and some to Peterborough and Belleville,” Forgrave explained.

He admitted the increasing cost of gas doesn’t help the situation so the annual campaign is very important.

“We are always looking for volunteers to help with our annual campaign,” Berger said.

The campaign takes place Thursday, April 3, Friday, April 4 and Saturday, April 5.

“We won’t of course be cam-

paigning at the banks on Saturday because they are closed,” Forgrave noted.

“We made about $2,500 last year and we are hoping to do the same if not better this year.”

Volunteer orientation and training is provided by the Canadian Cancer Society.

Anyone interested is asked to call Lynn Forgrave at 705-653-2528.

Society says about two in five Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetimes and one in four will die of the disease.

Pedal for Hope raises support for pediatric cancer

By Kate Everson

News – Quinte West – Pedal for Hope Quinte 2014 is getting ready to raise support for the fight against pediatric cancer.

The event runs from April 28 to May 9 in 31 schools across the Quinte area, nine of them in Quinte West.

Quinte West OPP Constable Maggie McGaughen will be involved in the local spring cycling tour with teams cycling more than 500 kilometres raising awareness and support.

McGaughen is the school resource officer and has been involved in the local schools.

She is also on the board of directors of Quinte West Youth Centre.

In January, more than 150 students graduated from the

OPP KIDS (Knowledge, Issues, Decisions, Supports) program at Murray Centennial, Queen Elizabeth and V.P. Carswell elementary schools.

The graduation included treats from Tim Hortons and a fun jeopardy-style game that reviewed all the important lessons taught to the youth over the six-week program.

The topics included youth and the law, peer-to-peer relationships, online safety, mental health awareness, and drug awareness.

McGaughen is currently teaching the OPP KIDS program to Grade 6 students at St. Peter Catholic School and Prince Charles Public School in Trenton.

In order to enhance the

mental health Awareness lesson, McCaughen has partnered with Children’s Mental Health Services as well as a member of the community who lives with bi-polar disorder. This helps to reduce the stigma of mental illness and educates the youth about supports available in the community.

McGaughen has also been busy educating local high school students about the dangers of sexting. This form of peer exploitation can have serious and life-changing consequences to both victims and violators. McGaughen and community service officer Constable Dave Ludington have hosted assemblies at Quinte West high schools highlighting the realities of social media.

News – Brighton – The race for a seat on Brighton council officially got underway last week as incumbent Councillor Tom Rittwage filed his nomination papers as a candidate in the Oct. 27 municipal election.

“There’s some unfinished business that I’d like to be part of that will possibly affect the future of the community,” Rittwage said. “We’ve got the King Edward Park Master Plan, the Community Development Plan and a new economic development committee.

“We’ve got some really good things that are not even on the back burner,” he added. “They’re on the stove and there’s value in having somebody around who has the background and understands where we are.

“For me, this election is about what is going on today and what is going to happen in the future.”

One plank in his campaign is to give the younger generation in Brighton a voice with the formation of a youth advisory committee.

“Quite frankly, when I was 18 years old, it was all I could do to get out of Brighton,” he said. “But that’s why I’m on council. There are things we can do to enhance our community.”

Rittwage is also eyeing the possibility of building a new skateboard park.

“But I’m not a big fan of having local government paying for everything,” he said. “We’ve had great success in the past where the municipality and other

BGH opens new surgery space

Cramahe’s proposed budget includes some big ticket projects

By John Campbell

By Steve Jessel

News – Belleville – The opening of a new perioperative department at Belleville General Hospital (BGH) last week has administrators and staff beaming about the care possibilities available at BGH. Quinte Health Care executives were on hand at BGH on March 19 to help open and provide tours of the new department, which provides six new operating rooms as well as pre- and post-surgical care areas to facilitate a more efficient, comfortable experience for patients and their families.

“I think everyone will see how bright, spacious and welcoming this new area is, and when our patients see the new space they will be at ease knowing that we have the best and most up-to-date technologies and care available close to home,” said Mary Clare Egberts, QHC president and CEO. One of the largest differences between the new operating rooms and the old is the amount of space available for surgeons, explained surgery program medical director Greg Leal. The new operating rooms are two to three times the size of the old operating rooms, which they replace, and are filled with cutting-edge medical equipment that simply was not available when the old operating rooms were constructed some 60 years ago.

“This has been 14 years in the making for me,” Leal said. “When I first came here there was talk of new operating rooms and now it’s a reality.”

Of the six new operating rooms, four are equipped to become minimally invasive surgical (MIS) suites while the remaining two are for general surgery, although they also have the potential to become MIS in the future.

Visitors were given a look inside operating room 5 during the tour, where Olympus regional vice-president Curtis Miles gave a hands-on

demonstration of some of the equipment inside, including touch-screen monitors and customizable and re-adjustable equipment stations.

“The rooms can accommodate any of the surgical applications that this hospital has,” he explained of the customizable nature of the new operating rooms. “It allows for the schedulers to have pretty much unlimited flexibility - there’s no logistical issues whatsoever.”

Additionally, there are some interesting education possibilities now available as a result of the new department. Each of the operating rooms are equipped with in-light cameras that allow for filming of procedures, and three large monitors placed around the room can be configured to show what the camera sees for someone who might be watching the surgery. BGH performs some 7,000 surgeries a year, and the first surgery in the new department is scheduled for April 7.

“Sometimes when you’re in an operation and you’re deep in the abdominal cavity or the pelvis, you can’t see what’s happening if you’re just kind of peeking over from where the nurses are standing,” Leal said. “The ability to display that for students is a great teaching aid.”

In all, the new nearly 30,000 sq. ft. department cost $12 million. The redevelopment also includes two additional surgery rooms that have yet to be equipped, bringing the possible total number of operating rooms at BGH to eight.

The new development is part of an overall BGH redevelopment project that began in 2007 and has seen a number of improvements and redesigns to the Sills Wing, the Intensive Care Unit and the emergency department, among other departments at the hospital. The move of the cardiology department from its current location will mark the end of the redevelopment and is expected to take place in June of this year.

News – Cramahe Township – The draft 2014 municipal budget contains eight initiatives put forward by the operations departments, ranging from $10,000 to $2.5 million.

Taxpayers will be relieved to learn director of operations Dan O’Brien is recommending the largest item – the rehabilitation of Burnham, Cedar and Park streets – be deferred until 2015, in anticipation that infrastructure funding from senior levels of government – will become available in 2015.

He also advised council to take the same approach with the $1 million in rehabilitation work that needs to be done on six of Cramahe’s 20 bridges within the next five years. Build up the reserve and wait for provincial and federal funding to come along to help pay for the repairs was his advice. The reserve currently has $15,000.

O’Brien did propose spending $527,000 this year on the complete reconstruction of Purdy Road, from Elgin to Parliament streets, as well as $265,000 on the rehabilitation of Ontario Street, “which is in very, very poor condition,” from

Highway 2 to Baldwin Street.

More than half, $406,300, of the total amount would be paid for out of this year’s road construction budget, with the rest to come from reserves.

Council members offered a few suggestions to allow for money to be spent on construction project elsewhere, which will be discussed at a later date.

There was no argument raised against taking $20,000 from the equipment reserve to install GPS units on Cramahe’s 10 trucks, loaders and graders.

“Most of the communities around have this equipment in their vehicles,” O’Brien said.

“It’s standard for municipal due diligence and management best practices.”

The data it records is reliable and useful when the public asks questions but, more importantly, “the one place it can save the township considerable amounts of money is in litigation,” he said.

Cramahe’s insurance company and other municipalities “have encouraged us to move to GPS because the courts are not inclined to accept as readily the written documents as they are

the electronic versions.”

“It’s absolutely critical we have that from a risk management point of view as well as, obviously, customer service,” Mayor Marc Coombs said.

There were reservations about the operations director’s recommendation that $40,000 from reserves be used to refurbish the former lawn bowling club house, so the township would have “another facility for members of the public to use.”

Councillor Pat Westrope said she had been told by several people familiar with the building that “it isn’t worth putting any money into, that it would be better torn down and ... replaced.”

She also learned a group that was planning to create a seniors drop-in area had no interest in the clubhouse because “they don’t think it’s big enough (and) it’s a little bit removed from the downtown area.”

Council decided to consider the proposal after members have had a chance to visit the building, which is around 50 years and has sat vacant for the last four or so.

Loyalist recognizes varsity athletes than a sport,” said Jim Buck, Manager of Athletics and Campus Recreation. “They are signing on to support their teammates, respect their coaches, maintain good grades and act as Loyalist ambassadors within our community and beyond.

It’s their ability to maintain this balance that makes us so proud of our athletes. This year, 48 Lancers were named OCAA Academic Award recipients and Kam Fung Tai was an Academic All Canadian winner. It is no small feat to juggle game and practice schedules and to find time to participate in community outreach events, while ensuring that program requirements are met. At the Athletic Awards, we celebrate these leaders.”

For the second consecutive year, Patrick Kalala, Community and Justice Services student, was awarded Male Athlete of the Year for his role on the Lancer’s men’s basketball team. “When I started playing with the team, they were a sea of faces. Now, they’re family.

The skills I learned on the court will go with me when I graduate.

I know the value of teamwork and have learned to respect and appreciate how different personalities and strengths pull together and work toward a common goal. I understand the importance of being coached and of surrounding myself with good people. I’ve grown to be a leader. When people believe in you, people like your coaches and Athletics Manager Jim Buck, it pushes you to be your best and you learn to believe in yourself.

Coming to Loyalist was the best decision.”

Roller derby team rollin’ on

By Steve Jessel

Sports – Belleville’s roller derby team is still gearing up for its first official bout, but until then interested women are always welcome with the newest team on the regional roller derby circuit.

“There’s a lot of passion here, and for some of the women this is their first team sport,” said coach Keith Hotte. “A lot of them love it because it has given them good talks with other women, and it’s gotten them in shape – that’s the biggest comment I’ve had, is some people telling me roller derby saved their life, whether it’s from weight loss or passion for the game or just team play.”

The team officially formed in June of 2013 after about a year of planning and after a surge of interest that saw some 40 women attend the first few practices the team today numbers nearly 30 women of varying ages and skill levels.

Sports – The Quinte Red Devils minor hockey organization is finishing off its most successful season in its 24-year history. The Duvanco Home Bantams have won their Ontario Minor Hockey Association Championship, and this coming weekend the Crossfit Belleville Peewees and the Foley Bus Lines Minor Atoms will head off to try to do the same. Stay tuned to the website www. quintedevils.com, and the Twitter account @QuinteRedDevil to follow all of the upcoming action as the Peewees head to Whitby, the Minor Atoms travel to St. Catharines, and the Bantams make the trip to Stratford to defend their OHF Title at the All-Ontario Bantam AAA Championships.

fielding them for an official bout.

“We are still very junior,” Hotte said. “We’re probably one of the newest teams in Ontario.”

Skater Violette Sheehan joined the team after reading a newspaper article about it in 2013.

She said that while nearly everyone on the team had the necessary skills and knowledge to participate in a bout, the mental aspect is something they’re still working on. She said watching a bout and seeing some of the more gruesome injuries can have a big impact in a skater’s confidence.

“Everyone is at different levels, and we don’t want to push them into a level that they are not ready for,” she said.

Hotte said he’s aiming for the team to play its first bout this summer, likely against one of the regional teams from either Peterborough or Kingston. Until then the team practices twice a week, and Hotte said there will likely be a welcome session for interested new players also this summer.

Sports – Belleville – Recipients of the Loyalist College 46th Annual Athletic Awards were announced at the college’s March 19 athletic banquet, a celebration of the Loyalist Lancers’ achievements this year.

Loyalist President Maureen Piercy congratulated all athletes, coaches and staff for a great season. “You are wonderful ambassadors for Loyalist College - on the sports field, on the courts and in the classroom - congratulations on all of your achievements,” she said. “We’re proud as well of the high number of provincial OCAA (Ontario Colleges Athletic Association) Academic Award recipients this year with 48 student athletes recognized by the OCAA for academic achievement, and one individual named as a CCAA (Canadian Colleges Athletic Association) Academic All Canadian. For those of you who are graduating, I know you will continue to represent the college, taking with you that Lancer “heart and hustle,” as well as “spirit and skill.”

Mikayla Brennan, a first-year Child and Youth Worker student, was named Female Athlete of the Year for her role on the Lancers basketball team. “I could never have received this award without the support of my teammates and coaches. Some of my teammates were also classmates and we encouraged each other on the court and with our assignments. I believe that actions speak louder than words and I always strive to remember that I represent the college and myself. I am very proud – this is the perfect ending to a very good year.”

“When a Loyalist student makes a varsity team, they are committing to much more

with the Ajax-Pickering Raiders by winning the third game 3 - 1 and moving on to the OMHA Championship being held March 28-30 in St. Catherines. Andrew Munro was stellar again between the pipes while Isaac Brown, Trevor Hoskin and Kendrick Webster found the back of the Ajax net. Helping out with the assists were Liam Filip (2), Brown, Nathan Bassett and Donovan McCoy. Making it to the OMHA AAA Championship is quite an accomplishment for a first-year team and the boys look forward to representing the Quinte region. Remaining members of the 2014 team are Connor Hunt, Corbin Roach, Nathan Woods, Blake Ellis, Owen Gibson, Cooper Matthews, Cole Campbell, Rheydan McCoy, Marcus Asimis and Corbin Votary.

Earlier in the week they won the first two games of the series. On the road last Saturday, the team got off to a slow start falling behind 2 - 0 in the game, but fought back to tie it in the third. They took the lead on a beauty shorthanded goal

by Isaac Brown from a feed from Liam Filip to finish with the 3 - 2 win. Scoring was rounded out with Corbin Roach getting a goal and an assist while Kendrick Webster netted the other. Sunday in front of a massive home crowd, the Foley boys again struggled out to a 2 - 0 deficit but again fought to the end and battled out a 5-3 victory. Trevor Hoskin was a monster, scoring three unanswered in the third while picking up two helpers as well. Cooper Matthews and Webster scored the others with Webster (2), Matthews and Marcus Asimis picking up the helpers. Andrew Munro made key saves in both games to pick up both wins for the QRDs. CrossFit Belleville - Peewee The Belleville CrossFit Peewee Red Devils punched their ticket to the OMHA championships next weekend in Whitby by dominating The Ajax/Pickering Raiders Friday night 5-0 in Napanee. Michael Andrews opened the scoring 10 minutes into the opening frame and the Red Devils never looked back.

Daniel Panetta and Logan White took over in the second and third period, each netting a pair of goals. Assisting on the Quinte goals was Keegan Hunt (2) and Emmet Pierce.

Ethan Taylor was solid all game picking up the shutout. The Belleville CrossFit Peewee Red Devils would like to wish the Minor Atom team good luck in their upcoming OMHA championships next weekend in Niagara. They also wish good luck to the Bantam Red Devils, when they travel to Stratford for the OHF championships.

Dancing with the Stars of Quinte returns

By Steve Jessel

Entertainment – Belleville – Sixteen participants from across the Quinte region will spend the next eight weeks shaking, shimmying and strutting their stuff in preparation of the seventh annual Dancing with the Stars of Quinte event coming this May. And at Y’Wanna Have a Cafe in downtown Belleville Saturday, the dancers found out who their partners and dance instructors would be for the popular upcoming competition.

“There seemed to be such an energy in the room,” Diane Coyle said of the kick-off event. Coyle is the manager of information services and special events planner for Volunteer and Information Quinte, who organizes the event. “There was a buzz and enthusiasm that’s already getting me excited about the event.”

The annual event is Volunteer and Information Quinte’s largest fundraiser of the year, and in 2013 it held its most successful event ever, where hundreds of spectators crowded into the Yardmen Arena in Belleville to watch Cassandra Bonn and Andy Caletti claim the title of Quinte’s top dancers with their highlands-inspired performance.

That event raised over $25,000 for VIQ, and in 2014 Coyle said she would love to eclipse the $30,000 mark.

Funds raised help support VIQ programs and services, including the volunteer recruitment and referral program that helps match prospective volunteers with appropriate agencies.

“We try and find out what their interests are and try to match them up with agencies that need somebody,” Coyle said. “We find that’s the best satisfaction all around, it helps with volunteer retention for the agency because they invest time and training in the volunteer, and the volunteer is happy to be there.”

Dancers either ask to take part or are recruited from the community, and Coyle said they always try and have a cross-section of different people and professions take part each year. The competition in 2014 will feature members of both the Belleville Fire Department and the Belleville Police Service, a high school teacher, a local media personality, small business owners and more. Participants are paired up with someone of a similar age and then matched to a volunteer dance instructor from one of a number of local dance studios. Dance instructors donate their time and experience to help craft and perfect a routine, and Coyle said some couples spend as much as 25 hours preparing for their routine.

Participants and coaches in 2014 include Dani Guppy, radio co-host & music director for Rock 107 and Todd Crawford, head coach for Canadian U19 Women’s Floorball team with instructor Liz Lougheed-Brown of Dance With Miss Liz; Sharon Huckle, owner of the Cat’s Meow Salon and Spa and Nick Foley of Celebrate the Hero with instructor Lisa Sinclair; Taryl Kramp, manager at SunLife Financial and Ryan Turcotte, Belleville Firefighter with instructor Ryan Wong, advisor at SunLife Financial; Nancy Lowthian, Scotiabank and John Bonn, partner at O’Flynn Weese LLP with instructor Erin Warriner of Inside Out Dance Academy; Jennifer MacMillan, advertising sales rep at The Intelligencer and Darrell Hatfield, Constable, Bel-

MTO taking steps to address concerns about 401

By John Campbell

News – Northumberland County – The Ministry of Transportation is taking “very seriously” complaints about conditions on Highway 401 in the county this winter, which have resulted in numerous multiple-vehicle collisions and road closures.

Kathy Moore, MTO’s regional director for Eastern Ontario, said the ministry has responded in several ways to concerns county officials raised in a special meeting in February about maintenance of the 401 following snowfalls.

The steps include undertaking “comprehensive audits” of the contractor’s operations within the county and installing cameras at the boundary of Northumberland and Durham Re-

gion to determine why there is a marked difference in the level of service being provided along the 401 between the two areas.

The cameras will provide “better eyes on the road continuously” and help the ministry “understand what’s happening out there,” Moore told council March 19.

MTO has also dedicated more personnel to Northumberland for ongoing monitoring. “We have up to six staff in addition to our normal complement working on these matters right now.”

Ministry staff have also met with local police, fire and public works representatives, and travelled the road to see firsthand “specific issues.” Moore said the contractor, Carillion

Canada, which was awarded a 12-year contract last year, “is taking concerns being expressed

by Northumberland County very seriously” as well; it recently added a senior superintendent for this area, a former ministry employee, who has worked on Highway 401 for many years.

Moore added both MTO and the province’s auditor-general will be looking at highway maintenance across the province. Ministry staff will looking at contract requirements for contractors in particular, such as when snow-clearing equipment needs to be out on the road.

A consultant will review the possibility of establishing a low visibility warning system and staff will look at what other jurisdictions Please see “MTO” on page B3

Caring for topsoil the subject of a workshop at Moira Hall News – Hastings County – Most of us go through life without thinking about soils in general, let alone about the soil beneath our feet. Topsoil is arguably the most precious natural resource we have.

All life is dependent on the thin layer of topsoil that covers the earth.

Harvest Hastings has invited Peter Neave, a soil scientist who works with Forests Ontario, to run a workshop on caring for the soil. It will be held at the Moira Community Hall on Thursday, April 10, from 1 to 5 p.m. He will lead an indoor, hands-on session and an

outdoor session, providing the weather co-operates.

Neave will talk about the basics of soil, soil fertility, the value of soil tests, improving soils, managing weeds and rotating crops. It is a good workshop to attend whether you are a farmer or a gardener.

In Hastings County, the soils developed under forests. Then the land was cleared to grow crops, creating a need to replace the nutrients taken out at harvest time. If they aren’t, it’s simply mining the soil. It takes a long time to

form soils, but it takes no time to lose soils through erosion.

Soil is a mixture of minerals, organic matter, gases, liquids and a huge number of soil organisms. It is a living entity, not just a medium in which to grow plants. The bacteria and other organisms that live in the soil break down organic material and help release nutrients that enable plants to grow. The more nutrients there are in soils the more there are available for plants and animals. Plants support soil organisms by secreting enzymes and sugar on which they feed.

Soil has an important role to play in locking up carbon and reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Jack Ketcheson, a local asparagus grower, retired professor, and member of the City of Quinte West Agricultural Committee, was asked why he became a soil scientist, and the Harvest Hastings member answered this way: “Growing up on the home farm at Wallbridge in the 1920s, I soon realized how much our family relied on the soil for our existence and well-being. When I

read how many civilizations started up historically and perished because people neglected their soil resource and their food supply, I was further convinced of its importance, that is why I decided to learn all I could about soil science. I am glad I did.”

It is important we all learn about the soil we depend on for life.

Daffodil pins ready to spread hope across Trent Hills

News – Trent Hills – Every three minutes another Canadian will hear the words “you have cancer” for the first time and be forced to digest a stark and life-altering piece of news.

That is something to think about during the month of April when canvassers and other volunteers with the Canadian Cancer Society raise funds to help those who have been stricken by the disease.

Throughout the month volunteers across Trent Hills as well as in Norwood and Havelock will be selling daffodil pins to raise funds for the Society.

“Money raised during Daffodil Month helps the Cancer Society fund excellent cancer research, provide information and deliver programs and services to prevent cancer,” says Emily Vassilidas, Relay for Life coordinator for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Peterborough and District office.

“The funds also help to support people living with cancer and their families and caregivers right here in Trent Hills and to advocate on behalf of Canadians on important health and cancer issues,” Vassilidas says.

Locally, Phyllis Donnelly will once again be organizing pin sales in Hastings, Havelock and Norwood with Dave McDougall and Lynn Forgrave heading up the Campbellford campaign

and Earline Armstrong putting together a team of volunteers in Warkworth.

“These volunteers are an example of how the Canadian Cancer Society truly is a volunteer-based organization,” says Vassilidas.

“It is only with the support of our donors and volunteers that the society will continue to save lives and support people living with cancer right now,” she says.

There will be pins available at a number of locations throughout Trent Hills and the surrounding area but supporters can also make donations online by visiting www.cancer.ca or by calling the

district office at 705-742-3823.

Local volunteers will be selling daffodil pins April 3-5 at Norwood Foodland and Todd’s Valu Mart in Hastings, April 4-5 at Havelock Foodland and April 4 at the RBC branch in Hastings.

Vassilidas also reminds people that they can support the Canadian Cancer Society by participating in the annual Relay for Life or by sponsoring someone who is walking in the relay. The Trent Hills Relay for Life will take place Sept. 6; other area Relay for Life events occur June 6-7 in Peterborough; June 7 in Cobourg; June 13 in Haliburton and June 2021 in the City of Kawartha Lakes.

in North America require of contractors in areas that are subject to snow squalls. They will also look at weather and collision data over an extended period.

Northumberland OPP Detachment Commander Inspector Doug Borton said this winter was “unique in a number of different ways” and there was an increase in collisions throughout the county, not just on the 401.

But “driver actions ... (are) something we really have to focus on,” he said.

Speed is a problem everywhere, Alnwick-Haldimand Mayor Dalton McDonald said. “The problem we see is when we cross that (boundary) line, the road maintenance is not as good (in Northumberland) as it is on the other side.”

“You need to talk to the people out there keeping that road clear so we can be safer,” he told Moore “Some years are worse than others, no doubt about that ... But we have to be prepared for the worst, and this year it certainly showed up that we weren’t on the 401 (in Northumberland).”

Cramahe Mayor Marc Coombs expressed anger that the minister of transportation hadn’t responded to a letter from Warden Linda Thompson about service levels being “reduced significantly” on the 401 through the Northumberland corridor. It was “unacceptable” the ministry had lowered service standards “without prior con-

sultation and notification,” he said.

“It was a shock to county council (when it) suddenly found out” the terms for a third generation contract had been changed, which would allow a contractor to use fewer pieces of equipment, he added.

“Somebody (at the ministry) made a decision that puts me and my loved ones at risk,” he said, and “they have to do something about it.”

Moore assured him the minister and staff are “tak-

ing these matters very seriously ... (and) clearly are paying attention.”

Brighton Mayor Mark Walas said he hoped service levels will return to what they were and asked the ministry to “even look to enhance” them.

Thompson said she and her colleagues appreciated Moore providing an update on what MTO has done since meeting with them in February and she suggested another report be given in person again next September, before the winter season.

Hastings artisan opens venue for like-minded “stitchers”

By Bill Freeman

News – Hastings – Lynn Piticco wants to give local fibre artists a place where they can come together, hang out, share ideas and learn from each other.

The Peterborough native, now a Hastings resident after growing up and working as a lawyer in British Columbia, has opened A Single Stitch at the corner of Front and Bridge Streets where she plans to give classes. But most of all she wants to welcome likeminded embroiders, quilters, felters, stitchers and other fibre artisans so they don’t have to pursue their crafts in isolation.

“Basically, I moved my personal sewing room from my house here,” the enthusiastic Piticco told The Independent. “I am stitching, quilting, embroidering and doing needlepoint all the time by myself and so are all my lady friends. I wanted to have an open door venue so women could come and have a cup of tea, listen to music and enjoy a nice colourful place and all be together and stitch and stitch.”

Piticco calls herself a “late bloomer,” having taken up fibre crafts in 1998 after retiring from her law practice.

“I went to a quilt shop and started buying fabric because it was beautiful. I kept going to a shop that had beautiful colours and fabrics and one day a lady said, ‘we have classes, we can teach you.’”

Piticco’s reply was: “I failed home ec.”

“I was the one outside gardening when I was a kid; I wasn’t doing housework or sewing on a machine,” she recalled.

But she took up the challenge and signed up for a beginner’s class “all excited with my bag filled with fabric.”

Next she bought a sewing machine.

“I went into that shop every day for two weeks until the class started buying fabrics.

That was the beginning.”

Her passion is as strong today as it was when she first started collecting fabrics.

“I’ve learned from some of the world’s best artists; they’re still my friends. I’ve

been very fortunate.”

Piticco has quilted and taught at universities, guilds, continuing education programs and night school; she’s also taught youth.

“I just want women to sew and quilt and embroider. There are a lot of crocheters, a lot of knitters, why not do something together? Maybe I can teach them something, maybe they can teach me. We need a venue in this little town.”

Piticco has a “huge resource library” covering everything from quilting and bead work to needle felting and silk fusion -- “everything you can think of; my library is open for everybody to use.”

Piticco also wants to get young people involved in fibre art.

“I want to get kids off their cellphones and maybe have them embroider down the side of their jeans. I want to put a massive, colourful (pile) of fibres and threads in the middle of a table and get them using their hands. Kids naturally gravitate towards colour; they’re creative, let’s get them off their cellphones and using their fingers to stitch. It’s a lost art.”

For more information on classes and other events call 705-696-1038 or visit Hastings resident Lynn Piticco, standing beside one of her favourite works called Lone Star, has opened up a gathering place www.aSingleStich.ca for local fibre artists called A Single Stitch at 4 Front St. East.

Quinte Corporate Challenge is geared towards team building and improved communication skills by offering a day of challenging activities that

are sure to encourage camaraderie and laughter among employees.

Corporations, businesses, organizations and other working groups are invited to enter a team of eight members in the June 20 event. The teams will complete eight tasks that promote team building and communication and the top three corporate teams will be recognized.

The challenge will take place at Batawa Ski Hill with lunch being provided onsite for all participants. Sponsors are currently being recruited with Trenton Kiwanis and Market High Advertising being the first to extend their support.

As I watched the children exploring this fascinating place, I was witness to a virtual sea of strollers around me, for there seemed to be a lot of young ones being ushered around by adults.

There were also many older youngsters walking hand in hand with a parent or grandparent, and the small size of this zoo made this exploration much easier for all. The facility was handicapped accessible, too.

Youngsters exploring this zoo can also participate in pony and train rides – and animal feedings. They seem to particularly enjoy the eye-level view of the world of the naked mole rats, as seen through a window, and those special

Lifestyles – When children visit the small, intimate, interactive zoo in Lincoln, Nebraska, they get an ‘up close and personal’ view of a great variety of animals – and they see many of these right at eye level – with even an opportunity to pet and feed some of them.

Young children are the target audience at this particular zoo, accompanied, of course, by parents and/or grandparents – and they’ll find several interactive Zoofari stations located throughout the 10-acre site.

These stations are intended to provide everyone with an in-depth learning experience, and they include explanatory videos narrated by Larry the Cable Guy. These videos are also offered, free of charge, to several children’s hospitals across the country. Lincoln Children’s Zoo President and CEO John Chapo said that, in this way, “Whether the children are in hospitals or can actually visit Lincoln Children’s Zoo, the new Zoofari series will entertain and enhance the entire zoo experience for thousands of children.”

This award-winning zoo is home to more than 40 endangered species, including the Humboldt penguin, Matschie’s tree kangaroo, and Amur leopard. There are also such varied and interesting animals on site as dwarf crocodiles, pygmy hedgehogs, squirrel monkeys, naked mole rats, meerkats, lizards, armadillos, and golden lion tamarins. The zoo is committed to animal conservation and community education, and it participates in a national zoo breeding program. Recent successful births here have included pygmy marmosets, ring-tailed lemurs, red pandas, and a tammar wallaby. The Lincoln Children’s Zoo has been part of the community since 1965, and Parent Magazine has rated it as “among the nation’s best zoos for children”.

I toured this intriguing facility with Chapo, and I was immediately struck by how clean the zoo was – and commented on this. He confided that much of the credit for this goes to Leo the Lion. Children can feed any scraps

Entertainment – Stirling – The Stirling Festival Theatre’s Young Company production of a Fairy Tale Ending had, well, pretty close to a fairy tale ending.

Good crowds packed the theatre all week during March Break and the actors left with a memorable experience; one meant to simulate the life of theatre professionals.

The Fairy Tale Ending was billed as an over-the-top, who-dun-it story with several popular fairy tale characters, including the Big Bad Wolf and Goldilocks. It was funny, suspenseful and musical, with all kinds of complicated key and tempo changes. After each show, the actors signed autographs for fans.

Stirling Festival Theatre Managing Director David Vanderlip said he was pleased with how well the kids handled a challenging play.

The Theatre’s Young Company program is for volunteer actors ranging in age 12 to 19. Nine cast members took part in this play after starting rehearsals in January.

“They’ve worked really hard and it shows,” he said, adding that he was lucky to have several “veterans” in the cast, who had starred in other Young Company productions. “Some kids have been with me for three years.”

Vanderlip said that many past participants in the Young Company program have gone on to study theatre or pursue acting as a career. The program is a great extra-curricular activity for high school students, as it gives them an opportunity to prepare rigorously for a performance in a professional theatre setting.

With the Fairy Tale Ending production now over, the Young Company will shift its focus to its annual summer program. This summer it’s planning to stage the fun musical Footloose. Auditions will take place in June and the cast will rehearse through July, leading up to the show dates of Aug. 6 to 16. Another play will be staged in the fall.

Vanderlip said he asks kids to audition for a spot in the Young Company, really because the experience of preparing material for an audition is a good exercise for them.

But he tries to make room for anyone dedicated enough to attend rehearsals regularly. The students involved come from all over Quinte. One girl, he said, drove from Cloyne every weekend to take part in the show. Vanderlip and the Stirling Festival Theatre takes great pride in offering the program at no cost to the students.

“It’s a labour of love,” Vanderlip said.

The Fairy Tale Ending was a special performance for the company, because it was a Canadian original, authored and composed by Kieren MacMillan, the Stirling Festival Theatre’s music director for the past three years, with his writing partner Jeremy Hutton.

Highlights from the 2013 Havelock Country Music Jamoboree: Legendary country music star Wynonna Judd (above); Amanda Wilkinson of the Small Town Pistols (right); Kix Brooks of Brooks and Dunn fame (far right); country music superstar Trace Adkins (bottom left); and Travis Tritt (bottom right).

true for Jamboree fans.

The Best Seats initiative is also a chance for the CMH to raise public awareness about the hospital and cancer screening.

“The Jamboree folks do a lot for the community,” Russell said backstage during last year’s Jamboree, “We’re not the only charity here, the Lions Club, the Rotary Club and the Girl Guides are here as well. So it’s a good opportunity to raise funds for the hospital but also to get the word out about what we’re doing. Right now the digital mammography unit is the highest priority piece of equipment for the hospital.”

“Digital mammography and cancer

diagnostic equipment is something very near and dear to Paula and Ed (Jamboree owners Paula Chopik and Ed Leslie).”

The digital mammography unit should be on site and receiving patients at Campbellford Memorial Hospital by mid-May, says Russell.

In the next few weeks the hospital will also be taking delivery of a new anesthetic machine for its operating theatre.

“Both items would not be possible without strong donor support.”

Entertainment – Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – Country musicians are big-hearted performers and they demonstrated that last year by signing off on the very popular Best Seats in the House auction at the Havelock Country Jamboree which helped raise more than $15,000 for the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation’s digital mammography campaign.

Well, fans can get up close and personal again with their musical favourites when the Best Seats in the House auction returns as part of the 25th anniversary Jamboree.

“We’re honoured to continue the partnership, especially as part of the 25th anniversary,” says CMH Foundation executive director John Russell.

This year’s auction will also help raise funds for cancer diagnostic equipment.

“We had a good fundraiser last year, we raised a significant amount and we hope to surpass that this year,” says Russell. “We found out about it a little bit late last year; we have more lead time this year.”

“You can change a life, save a life and have the best time of your life (at the Jamboree),” says a flyer announcing this year’s auction.

The 25th anniversary Jamboree (Aug. 14-17) includes luminaries such as Allan Jackson, Dierks Bentley, Joe Nichols, Josh Turner, Kellie Pickler, Doc Walker, The Mavericks, Suzy Bogguss, Michelle Wright, Ambush, Charlie Major, Lisa Brokop, The Good Brothers and more.

Watching them perform from the stage front would be a dream come

JAMBOREE

Dr. Brian Ho According to recent studies, approximately 20% of North Americans suffer from a sleep problem. Problems with sleep affect both men and women of every race, age, and socioeconomic class. Although lack of sleep appears to be a benign problem, its effects are far reaching. One of the major causes of sleep deprivation is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is a complete cessation of breathing during sleep for at least 10 seconds. It affects men more than women and particularly individuals between the ages of 40 to 60. If OSA is left untreated, it can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, arrhythmias, as well as sleep-deprived motor vehicle accidents.

You might be asking yourself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;So how does my dentist come into play with obstructive sleep apnea?â&#x20AC;?

Well, aside from the above mentioned symptoms of OSA, there are several oral manifestations of obstructive sleep apnea that can be seen by your dentist that may help in the detection of OSA. These symptoms include: â&#x20AC;˘ Enlarged scalloped tongue â&#x20AC;˘ Pain on palpation of the jaw joints â&#x20AC;˘ Jaw joint sounds when opening or closing the mouth â&#x20AC;˘ Crowding of teeth â&#x20AC;˘ Wear patterns on teeth

Because of the widespread prevalence of OSA and the fact that it remains largely undiagnosed in the general population, it is increasingly important that you are screened by your dentist or family doctor so that the treatment process can The symptoms of obstructive begin in a timely manner.

In Loving Memory of George Joseph Fallow July 29, 1944 to March 29, 2013 God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered, "come to me".

A golden heart stopped beating hard, working hands at rest, God broke my heart to prove to me, he only takes the best.
