SUPPORT FOR FARM

Brighton – Brighton is moving into a brighter future, says newly minted Chamber of Commerce president Eric Davidson, elected at a board of directors meeting last week. “It’s a very exciting time to be the new president,� he said, in an interview. Unlike some across the country, the Brighton Chamber continues to thrive. “We did increase our membership last year and I expect that’s going to be the case again for 2014,� said Davidson. “There have been some challenges but I feel we’re moving forward in a great direction. We’re certainly excited.� “We’ve got some great board members getting involved, we’ve had tremendous support from volunteers and we’ve got a great membership,� he added. “2013 was a good year for us, in terms of building and renewal. We’ve got a lot of enthusiasm and support for the Chamber, from members and from partnerships in the community.� First up is rebranding the Chamber to be more inclusive of both Brighton and Cramahe Township. Last week, a fourperson committee was set up to take on the project. “Our intention is to present the concept at the AGM (annual general meeting) in March,� said Davidson. “That’s when the membership will have their say; with a vote to decide the fate of the plan.

News – Brighton – Municipal road crews are getting rave reviews from residents when it comes to their efforts in keeping up with Old Man Winter. Public works director Andrew Drzewiecki, who says he is more used to dealing with complaints than kudos, called it a “pleasant surpriseâ€? when he learned of telephone calls and emails coming into the ofďŹ ce

praising workers for clearing the streets after a recent series of winter storms. “We were pleased because people took the time to thank us for doing a good job,� he said. Seven plow operators (three for urban Brighton, south of Hwy. 401, and four for the north) are responsible for 410 lane-kilometres of road. That measurement takes into account that each street can

only be plowed one lane at a time. “And there’s close to 50 kilometres of sidewalk for one machine to do,� added operations supervisor Wayne Pearson. “It was all hands on deck,� said operator Adam Walraven. “Between the public works, water and wastewater departments, everybody was in to help out.� Please see “residents� on page 2

“I think it’s something we’ll be moving forward with,� says Davidson. “We’re strengthening those ties. We’re quite pleased to see (Cramahe Mayor) Mark Coombs sitting on our board. It’s very positive.� “I think the interests are aligned in both communities,� he added. “We’ll be able to pool our resources and move in the same direction. I see nothing but positive things happening in both communities.� Also in the works: a new visitor’s guide branded to both communities and slated for a spring distribution through Bay of Quinte Tourism. “They’ve been an excellent partner in promoting this region,� said Davidson. “They’ll take that guide and distribute it along the (Highway) 401 from Windsor to Quebec.� In addition, this year the Brighton and District Chamber of Commerce is scheduled to play host to two prestigious events: a Prosper Northumberland event in the spring and the Quinte Business Achievement Awards in the fall. But the question looms: where in Brighton can you hold a prestigious business award dinner event that last year drew more than 300 and is growing each year? “That is the question we are trying to sort out,� said Davidson. “But we are the hosts this year.� “We’re making preliminary investigations and it’s a challenge,� he added. “The event has been so successful; it’s beginning to outgrow the number of venues that are available to it. I expect we’ll have an announcement on that in the next two weeks.�

“It was a perfect example of teamwork,� added Drzewiecki. “All the supervisors were working as operators and people on vacation came in to work. It was quite amazing.� Throughout, the worst part was three days of freezing rain just before Christmas. “You couldn’t get ahead of it,� said Pearson. And in addition to keeping the streets free of snow as much as possible, Brighton crews had to deal with the added problem of frigid temperatures. The colder it got, the less effective salt became and, added project supervisor Scott Hodgson. “Running in sub-zero temperatures is tougher on equipment.� Amazingly, the entire job is done in 13-hour shifts, the maximum legislated daily amount of time allowed for an operator on the job. “We’ve only got enough guys to cover each route,� explained Pearson. “There are no backups, but we have a very dedicated crew.� One plus is the new GPS (global positioning system) installed in all municipal vehicles says Drzewiecki. “It helps ensure the whole area is covered,� he said. “And, if necessary, we can prove it.� When it comes to winter, crews are either busy getting ready in anticipation of stormy weather or actually on the road keeping roads and sidewalks clear of snow and ice. “We were in the week prior doing a lot of snow removal because it was snowing right up until the ice storm,� said Walraven. “And since then, it’s been one storm after another,� added Pearson. “And it’s been just enough that the trucks have been out sanding and plowing every day.� Snow removal costs can have a very negative effect on budgets and if this weather keeps up, it could be used up pretty quickly. With an annual allocation of $30,000 for road salt; as of the beginning of this week, public works crews have already used as much as they did throughout the entire winter last year. It’s a continuing battle and it’s not over yet. On Monday, forecasters were predicting a 70 per cent chance of snow on Friday. “I might be biased as an operator,� said Walraven. “But I think our roads were some of the best in the area.� And judging by some of the comments from residents, they agree. “We take a lot of pride in that,� he added. “Because we’re not running with a 24-hour crew, we do what we can in the 13 short hours we’re allowed.�

Cramahe mayor announces intention to run again By John Campbell

News - Cramahe Township – Mayor Marc Coombs will seek re-election in the municipal election next fall. In a news release announcing his intention to run again, Coombs said his past seven years on council, three as its mayor, “have been highly rewarding” because of the “many positive results” he and his fellow elected officials have been able to accomplish working as a team. He gave as examples, in an interview with The Independent, expansion of Colborne’s industrial park, “which has been very successful in growing our economy,” and its wastewater treatment plant, at a cost of $7 million, which “had been talked about since the 1980s ... (and now) sets us up for long-term future growth for the community.” The most recent feather in

the township’s cap was to have Northumberland County choose Colborne as the site of a 15,000square-foot agri-food incubator that’s being built in the industrial park. Its services will include cooking, chilling, freezing, and storing local foods. As the main tenant in a larger building that will house other businesses, the niche food facility is scheduled to open this year. Coombs also made reference to the new Tim Hortons in Colborne, “which has created jobs for our local people ... and created a lot of interest commercially in the area.” Coombs said he was personally involved in efforts by local parents to get a new public school built in Castleton. The school board planned to close Cramahe’s two rural elementary schools, Castleton and South Cramahe, and bus the children to Brighton but

“we were able to get them to change their decision and build a brand new ... Northumberland Hills School,” he said. Coombs first served on council from 1998 to 2000. He then ran for deputy-mayor and was defeated, and was returned to office as councillor in 2004. He moved up to mayor in the last election. Over the past seven years, the township has been “blessed with a conscientious, stable and progressive” council that “is seen as a leader in our wider Northumberland community,” Coombs said in his release. He added the role of mayor “is an important one as success relies on the leadership skills of the incumbent to bring Council together as a team and to work

closely with staff and the community to achieve common goals.” Coombs said he “will continue to push for fiscal responsibility, keeping tax rate increases to a minimum, upgrading infrastructure and promoting and growing our local economy for the benefit of all residents.” He told The Independent tax increases generally have been two to 2.5 per cent. “I think the last two years we had the lowest increase of any municipality in Northumberland,” he said. “Cramahe used to have the highest tax rate and a lot of people still think we do, especially locally, but now we’re middle of the pack. Port Hope, Cobourg, Trent Hills

all have higher tax rates.” Coombs said he would release “a more specific platform of goals and objectives” in the summer, but chose to declare his candidacy now, so he wouldn’t be asked constantly if he was going to run again. “Since I definitely knew I was going to run again, there was no advantage in being coy about it,” he said. As of last Friday, Coombs was the only person to have filed nomination papers in Cramahe. The nomination period closes September 12 and municipal elections across Ontario will follow on October 27.

Former long-time Brighton councillor ‘loved to serve the residents’ News – Brighton – Glen Quick, who served on Brighton town council for 26 years, died Sunday at Trenton Memorial Hospital following a lengthy illness. He was 70. Brighton Councillor Mary Tadman said her brother was one of those people “born to love politics.” Even “when he was too sick (from emphysema and other health problems) to enjoy anything else, he always kept his finger on what was happening with Brighton council and Quinte West, right up to the Prime Minister’s Office.” During his nearly three decades on council, Quick served as reeve “for quite a bit of it,” and was warden of Northumberland County, Tadman said. “He loved to serve the residents and fight for what he believed was good for Brighton.” Quick’s extended stretch in local politics came to an end in

2000 when he ran for councillor and was defeated after Brighton Township and the town of Brighton had amalgamated. “Once you got to know him, you never forgot him, he was that type of person,” she said. “He certainly was a character – oneof-a-kind (is what) people keep saying to me.” They’ve also told her that as much as they disagreed with him at times, they “admired him for who he was. He always was passionate about what he believed in.” The long-time owner of a commercial fishery that’s been in the family for generations, Quick received an Outstanding Community Service Award with his brothers Bill and Harry at the seventh annual Brighton Civic Awards in 2011. It was noted at the ceremonies that Glen Quick and a friend rescued two women following a boat explosion at the government dock in the 1970s, and that he

and his brother Harry had pulled two young kayakers out of the water in the middle of the night in the summer of 2010. “We never did it for glory, we did it to help people,” Quick said, in accepting the award on behalf of his brothers. “If somebody asked us to do it again... we’ll still be there to help.” Quick is survived by his wife Carolyn, children Angela and her husband, Jeff Box, Quinte West, Christa and her husband, Tim Melady of Guelph, and Chuck Quick and his wife, Elaine, of Trenton. Brighton Funeral Home said the family will receive friends at Trinity St. Andrew’s United Church Community Hall Monday, Jan. 20, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The service will take place in the hall at 2 p.m. Those wishing to make donations in his memory are asked to consider the Lung Association or the Belleville Dialysis Clinic.

89 Homeowners Can Get The Opportunity of 2014! One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning is committed to helping 89 Homeowners By “Giving Away” $5,484 Furnaces For $1,979† With Off-Season Central Air... Dear Neighbour: This is great news for your wallet if your furnace is over 10 years old… you can actually replace your old (and probably very ine cient) furnace and air conditioner as a package for less than you would have to pay at any other time of the year. Every year, the months of January, February and March can “be tough” on my business. I can end up losing money during these “long tough”months and it can take me the remaining nine months to make up for them. My Problem Is An Excellent Opportunity For You Every year, the big manufacturers of air conditioners and furnaces have to forecast how many to build to meet the demand. Of course, they’re never exactly right. So, they often have additional inventory. And, because of the quantity and time of year, we were able to negotiate directly with the manufacturer for reduced pricing if we purchased in volume. The other condition was that we had to take the matching air conditioner as well. This special negotiating is why it becomes an excellent opportunity for you. They are brand new models and they are NOT the seconds or “blems” or standard “builder” models. They are factory-fresh, premium air conditioners and furnaces and have a full factory warranty.**

Keep Reading To Learn How To Get A Top-of-the-Line Furnace For Much Less By putting this furnace and air conditioner package together (then negotiated with the factory) and committing to a purchase agreement of 89 systems, I was able to buy both the furnace and the air conditioner for less than anyone should have a right to pay! So, if you buy one of these 89 new premium air conditioner packages (but only if one of the four sizes I have will t your house, of course), I am ”giving” you the matching furnace and all I ask for is the $1,979† in labour and material and overhead it costs for installation. Perfect Fit For Your Home Just call me at 613-392-6925 anytime. I will come out and measure your home (and determine the availability of the proper size).

on the system that ts your home. Then, I will show you the substantial savings available now. And it will include all labour and installation materials. Nothing is left out!

because the furnaces cost me less, I can sell them at 2014 prices later in the season and still come out ahead. Give us a call 613-392-6925 and we will set an appointment for your no-obligation estimate.

Dancing the night away By Ray Yurkowski

All 27 Grade 10 dancers present their interpretation of the Miley Cyrus song, ‘Wrecking Ball.’

Lifestyles – Brighton – “Dance is more than moves and music,” East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) dance teacher Loren Post told the crowd last week at the first of two dance recitals, held throughout the school year. “It gives the girls a chance to express themselves.” And express they did: all 46 dancers who took the stage for the one-hour production. Notably, all of the smaller ensemble numbers were choreographed by the students themselves. “I was so proud of the dancers on stage,” said Post. “They gave me goosebumps on many occasions throughout the show. “They work so hard preparing, and it is so rewarding for

them to present a show to their family and friends,” she added. “Many girls have never performed on stage before, so this is a really big deal for them. I am so lucky to be able to be a part of the dance program at ENSS. It is a really special place.” Each year, the school offers both university and collegelevel classes for dances from Grades 9 through 12. “Many students take the course every year,” says Post. And what are the benefits of dance at the local high school?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Why do certain council members reject a perfectly reasonable proposal? Dear Editor, Several weeks ago, one of the all too regular articles concerning our basically (yes) dysfunctional Brighton council caught my attention. This one had to do with council’s reaction to a seemingly reasonable proposal by Mayor Lovshin of Hamilton Township and Mayor Thompson of Port Hope made at a Northumberland County Council meeting. They proposed undertaking a study to examine ways in which some or, perhaps all, of certain governance and administrative functions in Northumberland County might be more effectively employed. The proposal was supported by six of the seven mayors on the council, including Brighton’s mayor. Apparently, when the idea reached the floor of our Brigh-

ton council, rather than be given reasoned consideration it was unconstructively seized upon by our well-known ‘Gang of Four’ as yet another platform from which to grandstand and another stick with which to beat our mayor and those council members who saw potential value in participating in such a study. The upshot was that the suggestion was discounted and rejected with such empty statements as, â€œâ€Ś. [amalgamation] will do nothing in the short term for cost containment.â€? (How so? What about the medium and long term?), and, â€œâ€Śhas the potential to increase costs significantly.â€? This spurred me to do a little research on the nature of key structural elements of governance and admin-

istration in Northumberland County and to take a quick random look at a handful of comparators. Northumberland County has (all following figures are close approximations) a population of 82,100 residents and an area of 1,900 km2. The county comprises eight governance and administrative units: the County of Northumberland itself; the Town of Cobourg; the Municipalities of Port Hope, Brighton, and Trent Hills; and the Townships of AlnwickHaldimand, Cramahe, and Hamilton. Each of these entities employs a council and Chief Administrative Officer (CAO). Thus, the county is served by eight councils, involving a total of 51 mayors and councilors and eight CAOs. The Ontario Sunshine List shows that the county expends just over

Aboriginal Awareness

$1,000,000 a year in base salaries for its flock of CAOs – Brighton’s is in the middle of the group, earning $135,200. Looking at the numerous councils and estimating their annual compensation and cost in staff and facility support, we are likely not far off another $1,000,000 in expense. A few quick comparisons for perspective: the City of Peterborough, with 79,700 residents, has one CAO equivalent, with an annual salary of $164,400 and a council of 11; Strathcona County, just NE of Edmonton, with a population of 92,000 and an area of 1,181 km2, has one CAO and a council of 11; and finally, the City of Calgary, with 1,097,000 residents and an area of 825 km2 has one CAO equivalent,

to the residents of the county and our municipality? To object has the appearance of subordinating the basic fiduciary duty of effectively managing the resources entrusted to them by the taxpayer to self-interest and demagoguery. Considering that this is an election year, I invite those members of Brighton council to respond with a cogent explanation, one without puffery and unsubstantiated assertion, as to why they rejected participation in the proposed study. To be fair, those who supported the proposal might also offer argument to support their position. Ian Gray Brighton

Proud to be a “rogueâ€? element Dear Editor, Re: “Council divided over whether it’s dysfunctional or notâ€?, Brighton Independent, 9 January 2014. At the subject article, Councillor Rittwage is quoted as saying there are “rogue members of council who don’t want to work with others ‌ “ As related to “working with othersâ€? we hope that Brighton taxpayers recall the treatment of Brighton Legion Branch 100 members Mr. Ian Douglas, Mr. Ken Birch and Mr. Dave Wyndham in their efforts to deliver the cenotaph project. We hope that Brighton taxpayers recall

A seven-week course with Betty (Katsitsiase) Maracle and Alan (Anataras) Brant of Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, offered free to the public — EVERYONE WELCOME!

with a salary of approximately $360,000, and a council of 15. It raises the question: just what value or additional benefit is Northumberland County gaining for the cost of its current structure? I have not dug deeper into the costs of eight different staffs, facility suites, and equipment fleets and their operation, but one can reasonably conclude that improvements in operating efficiency and cost reductions might readily be identified. Now, what reasonable and responsible elected official or senior administrator would object to participating in an examination of how governance and administrative services might be delivered in a more effective and cost efficient manner

the resignation of Mr. Dale Carter as Chair of the Brighton Public Library Board because of “unwarranted interference.� We don’t know how Rittwage defines rogue. But, if being a rogue means opposing the wasteful expenditure of tens of thousand of Brighton taxpayers’ dollars on a branding study and integrity commissioner then we are glad to be called rogue. If being a rogue means opposing hiring additional staff for Brighton’s economic development, public works and fire departments, even before a municipal services delivery review is completed, then we are glad to be called rogue.

If being a rogue means opposing the wasteful expenditure of hundreds of thousands of Brighton taxpayers’ dollars on unsubstantiated vehicle and equipment requests, then we are glad to be called rogue. We don’t care how Rittwage defines rogue. But we believe that if we are rogues, Brighton needs more rogues to ensure that Brighton is a better place for all people to live.

News – Quinte West – An application for a zoning amendment at 88 Princess St., Trenton Ward, would permit a 22-unit condominium development. “Notice of application was circulated to all registered owners of land within 120 metres,� noted area planner Scott Pordham. A resident to the east submitted an email on December 24, 2013, indicating he opposes the plan based on concerns of noise and privacy. Staff contacted the resident and explained that the proposed development may not generate more noise than already permitted by the existing industrial use. It was also explained that the proposed development was not a high rise but townhouses with backyards facing the concerned resident’s home and that no parking areas would be adjacent to his rear yard. To date, no other public comments have been received. The property is located on the north side of Princess Street.

The lands are flat and developed with an existing industrial warehouse building and parking lot. The location is in the middle of a residential neighbourhood with single detached dwellings and some multi-unit dwellings. There is high-density seniors housing nearby. Lands to the north are occupied by an elementary school and a branch of the Lions Club. Pordham added that the Official Plan allows townhouses to a maximum net density of 25 units per acre. The proposed development will be in the form of townhouses with a density of about 19 units per acre. The Official Plan requires medium density development to be located on sites adjacent or near existing medium or highdensity developments to allow for compatible integration of housing types. The subject lands are located about 148 metres from the Trenton Legion Gardens retirement residence and 168 metres from the Crown Ridge Nursing Home.

The property has a total lot area of 1.36 acres with 180 feet of frontage on Princess Street. The land is currently zoned R4residential fourth density and the amendment would make it a R5-4 residential fifth density special zone. “An arterial road (Dundas Street) and a collector road (Dixon Drive) are located nearby and an additional 22 residential units would not appear to have a major impact on traffic volumes leading to those streets,� Pordham added. The proposed plan includes two parking spaces at each townhouse unit along with additional visitor parking. Privacy is protected by the existing fencing, which will be maintained and the design of the condominium, which will result in rear yards facing the neighbours’ properties. “The proposal will result in residential development in a residential neighbourhood that is more compatible than the existing industrial use,� Pordham stated.

Egypt referendum

Editorial - General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who led the coup against Egypt’s elected president last July, has one of the finest collections of military headgear in the entire Middle East. Perhaps that’s why he has still not admitted that he plans to become the next president: he can’t decide which hat to throw into the ring. His own explanation for his shyness comes straight out of the Aspiring DictaGwynne Dyer tor’s Handbook: “If I nominate myself, there must be a popular demand, and a mandate from my army,” he told the state-owned paper AlAhram. “When Egyptians say something, we obey, and I will never turn my back on Egypt.” Egyptian generals are deeply patriotic people, and three others before Sisi have sacrificed their own desire for a quiet life in order to rule Egypt: Gamal Abdel Nasser (1956-70), Anwar Sadat (1970-81) and Hosni Mubarak (1981-2011). In fact, the last three years have been the only time in the life of the great majority of Egyptians when a general has not been running the country, and Sisi seems ready to make the supreme sacrifice too. A mandate from the army shouldn’t be hard to get, since he runs the whole organization. And as far as “popular demand” is concerned, Sisi is clearly planning to use a “yes” vote in this week’s referendum on the new constitution as proof that the people want him for president. The new constitution will be the third in four years. It replaces the one that was written and adopted (also by referendum) during the brief, unhappy rule of President Mohamed Morsi, who took office on June 30, 2012 and was overthrown on July 3, 2013. It removes the “Islamic” changes that Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood wrote into the last one, which should appeal to secular Egyptians, but that’s not what makes it attractive to General Sisi. The new clauses that only a soldier could love include one that gives the Egyptian military the right to appoint the defence minister, and another that says the military budget will not be subject to civilian oversight. It also retains the muchcriticized clause that allows civilians to be tried in military courts. Sisi reckons enough civilians will vote for it anyway, some because they hate the Islamists and some because they are just tired of all the upheavals. Maybe they will, because the whole Arab world is suffering from revolution fatigue: the “Arab awakening” has caused

such turbulence that many people would find a return to the old dictatorships almost comforting. It’s true even in Syria, where some of the rebels are starting to talk about making a deal with the Assad regime in order to isolate the Islamist extremists and hasten the end of the war. There has been no war in Egypt, but about a thousand of Morsi’s supporters were massacred in the streets of Cairo by the “security forces” last summer, and the Muslim Brotherhood has been declared a terrorist organization. There have been many thousands of arrests, not only of senior Muslim Brotherhood members but recently of secular critics of the military regime as well. Egyptians are frightened and exhausted, and Sisi apparently thinks they will gratefully accept a return to army rule (behind a democratic facade). But his nervousness is showing: there’s barely a wall in Cairo that is not covered with “Yes” posters and pictures of Sisi, while people trying to put up “No” posters get arrested. Sisi is right to be nervous. In late September, three months after the coup, Zogby Research Services carried out an extensive opinion poll in Egypt for the Sir Bani Yas Forum in Abu Dhabi. It revealed that confidence in the army had already dropped from 93 per cent to 70 per cent, and it probably has gone on dropping. General Sisi and former President Morsi had almost equal support in the country – 46 per cent for Sisi, 44 per cent for Morsi (who now faces trial for “inciting his supporters to carry out premeditated murder” and various other alleged crimes). But Morsi’s trial was postponed last week from January 8 to February 1, allegedly because bad weather prevented him from being flown from his prison in Alexandria to Cairo for the trial. That’s a rather long spell of bad weather, and besides it’s only two and a half hours by road from Alexandria to Cairo. One suspects that the military regime did not want Morsi to make his first public appearance since the coup just before the referendum. The Zogby poll also revealed that an overwhelming majority of respondents blame the last military regime, under Hosni Mubarak, for the problems facing Egypt today. All in all, this is hardly a firm foundation on which to complete the counter-revolution and build a new military regime. The likeliest outcome of the referendum on the new constitution this week (Tuesday and Wednesday) will be a modest majority for the “Yes”, but on a very low turnout. If it is lower than the mere 33 per cent who voted in the referendum on the last constitution in 2012, then Sisi may have to reconsider his plan to run for the presidency.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

More on the supposed 4-3 split I recently read with great interest in this publication that the so-called 4-3 split that some contributors to this paper refer to on Brighton Council, is not supported by the numbers. In fact, if the report is accurate, Mayor Walas has voted with the majority nearly 60 per cent of the time. What I would like to focus on is the other 40 per cent. At the recent New Year’s Day Levee, in his speech, the mayor lauded a great number of the municipality’s accomplishments from the previous year which included the following: Funding for the YMCA, the creation of the Rose Ellery Park, the expansion of the Codrington Fire Hall, the completion of road reconstruction of Centre Street, great improvements made to King Edward Park including a financial gift from the Brighton Rotary, the expansion of the Industrial Park, the addition of a new Economic Development Officer, and extensive sidewalk improvements geared toward greater accessibility for those with various physical challenges.

What is most compelling in the Mayor’s praise for all of these great accomplishments is that to the best of my knowledge, by vote, the Mayor only voted to support two of them; increased funding for the Y and the creation of Rose Ellery Park both of which were unanimously supported by council. Which means in his acknowledgement of all of the other projects it would appear that he must be appreciative of those of us on council who voted in favour of the worthwhile initiatives. For those who insist on talking about a 4-3 split on council it would appear that by the comments made by the mayor, the community has benefitted because there were four of us with common sense to support these important projects. As for the so-called 4-3 split, this publication has provided the numbers to suggest that it just isn’t true. Thomas Rittwage Councillor, Municipality of Brighton

Start a new fad, walk to school By Terry Bush Editorial - . I didn’t think I heard it right the first time so when it came on the radio again, I listened a little more closely. At the end of the commercial, a young girl can be heard saying, “I can walk to school, can you?” The commercial was sponsored by the local Health Unit, which is no doubt trying to spur the younger generation into getting a bit of exercise. “I can walk to school.” Of course hearing something like this brought out the inner geezer in me that seems to be lurking just below the surface at any given time, now that I’m older. Walking to school is something we all used to do. We had no choice and didn’t think anything of it at the time. We walked everywhere. The only time we didn’t walk was when we rode our bikes, another innovative idea whose time has come. It’s not like our families were rich enough to have two cars at their disposal and why would you need two vehicles? Most mothers stayed at home those days. Not only did we walk or ride our bikes to school, we had to ride them home for lunch because town kids, even if they lived at the far end of town, weren’t allowed in the lunch room unless their mothers sent a note saying they wouldn’t be home that day because they were busy at the hospital giving birth. While I didn’t have to walk as far as my father did, which if I recall correctly was in the neighbourhood of eight miles uphill both ways, it was still quite a hike by today’s standards considering many children only walk from the car to the front door of the school. I would guess we walked or rode our bikes probably a mile or so to get to school, which was really nothing. To a geezer in training like myself, today’s kids, despite today’s technology, are missing out on some great childhood memories and most of them involve physical activity. When we were kids, and by that I mean under the age of 10, we walked for miles to bring the cows in for milking. There was no complaining involved, we thought it was a privilege to be given the responsibility to walk to the other side of the woods and herd the cows back through the woods to the barn. It made us feel all grown up, like we were teenagers. It could never happen today but we also stopped traffic on Highway 14 at the top of the first hill south of Stirling and herded the cows across the road into the barn to be milked too. We built forts in the woods, fished in every creek and stream in the area, regularly visited the Stirling sewage lagoons to admire the wildlife and did all this either on foot or on our bikes. Our decidedly low tech, one-speed bicycles worked almost as well in the winter as they did in the summer depending on the day. I can still recall strapping a very weighty bag of Saturday Toronto Telegrams to my banana seat and travelling to the four corners of Stirling through slush and snow on a paper route that nobody wanted for good reason. It didn’t kill me but I sure looked forward to the Saturdays when my grandfather or dad had a bit of time to drive me around. Those Saturday Telegrams were almost two inches thick. Quite a slog when you only had one gear, but no worse than our rides up the hills from Stirling to Oak Lake to go swimming in the summer. In the evenings, kids on the street would gather at dusk for a game of flashlight hide and seek in the nearby fields. From a young age, my friends and I would travel over hill and dale in the dead of winter, tentatively crossing Rawdon Creek to that Mecca of tobogganing, Shay’s Hill, for a day of fun. It wasn’t unusual to find 80 kids there, red-faced and smiling as they hung on for dear life. Dead tired after climbing up the hill dozens of times, we’d trudge a couple of miles back home. When that hill became too tame, we walked even farther to Suicide Hill, a spectacular place where you could rarely see the bottom of the hill from the top, it was that steep in winter. Most kids today would be hard-pressed to climb to the top of that hill once let alone spend a day riding a sled up and down. In the very early spring, we looked forward to getting rid of our coats and tackling the old barn that was called the Stirling arena. We’d ride to the top of Stapley’s Hill next to the old sawmill, pedal down that hill as fast as we could and because all the snow had slid down the side of the building, we’d veer off the road to see how far we could ride up the side of the rink on the snowbanks before we came tumbling down. Will kids today have many of these same experiences? Unfortunately most won’t. We’re caught up in a world of technology with our derrieres glued to our seats staring blankly at screens exercising little more than our thumbs. A perfect toboggan ride down a steep hill can’t hold a candle to owning the latest, fastest phone or tablet filled with apps and games. Gadgets rule the roost and children’s health suffers. It’s easy to see why the local Health Units are trying to steer kids in a healthier direction. Thinking back, we rarely had more than one chubby kid in our class all through public school. I don’t think the same can be said today.

The only answer we got was from Queen Elizabeth, who told us to contact the Governor General. We haven’t heard from him. Everyone just passes the buck. Nobody takes accountability.â€? This land was Frank Meyers ancestral home and has been in his family for over 200 years, deeded to the pioneer family by the Crown to Captain John Walden Meyers. It was slated for demolition this week.

Too many municipal buildings under-used and expensive to keep open By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills – The municipality has too many buildings in its inventory that are not being used enough, says CAO Mike Rutter. “We’re coming to a very critical point where we have a lot of facilities that are under-utilized, and we really need to focus on (what needs to be done),� he told council January 7. The issue was raised when Councillor Kim McNeil drew attention to a staff recommendation made at the December 10 facilities committee meeting that the Warkworth Memorial Hall be used

for storage only, for the benefit of local historical societies. McNeil said the need for office space that local organizations could use was also brought up at a recent public meeting and she suggested “the Memorial Hall might be a good place for that.� Rutter said, “Quite often when people express an interest in using (a municipal building) ... they don’t have the capacity to pay. “There may be a need,� he said, but “we have to be very careful about where you place them.�

The facilities committee is interested in “maximizing the use of a fewer number of facilities� so they operate closer to capacity and are less of a drain on municipal coffers. Even places such as the Warkworth Town Hall for the Arts and the Hastings Civic Centre, where Trent Hills has “great� partnerships to keep them in use, are “becoming more and more expensive for the taxpayers to bear ... unless they’re used a lot,� Rutter said. He suggested the few groups remaining who use the Memorial Hall could be directed to the Town Hall

for the Arts to generate more revenue there. The committee and staff “really want to start a conversation with council about what buildings we should be focusing our energies on, as far as getting utilization as much as possible,� Rutter said. “One of the challenges we’ve had, and we’ve talked about it a lot, is spreading our resources too thin.� If the municipality were to focus its resources on fewer buildings, “we can do a better job,� he said. Rutter assured McNeil “there’s no

problem waiting a few months� before dealing with the issue in earnest. “We don’t want to mess up� the annual Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival the councillor is organizing for this spring. The Memorial Hall is the venue for the juried art show that’s held in conjunction with the festival. The building was erected in 1922 by Percy Township to honour local residents who had served in the First World War. The library was housed there until its relocation to the ground floor of the former township offices, now the Town Hall Centre for the Arts.

The blessing of a life well-lived

Lifestyles - The best part of the sixtyfifth birthday party I attended last night, other than the Chinese buffet, was definitely the slide show. Of course black and white pictures of a cherubic-looking boy are always adorable, but it was those late teen years pictures, when a rather familiar looking girl starting showing up, that made me smile. And so we watched through 45 years of hilarious photos, with the wedding, the babies, the cot-

we wonder, “What would life have been like if I had married my high school boyfriend?” Or we think, “I bet life would be a whole lot more exciting if I were with my co-worker, who’s always the life of the party, rather than my husband, who is always grumpy.” We want something new and something exciting, not something that we’ve had everyday for sixteen years, through 1,700 diaper changes, or 2,200 loads of laundry. Life just gets monotonous. The measurement of maturity, though, is whether or not one can forego immediate rewards for delayed gratification of better rewards. Too often people throw something away because they want the excitement of something new. Everything new, though, will eventually be old. Unless you want to cycle through constant change your whole life, at some point you’re going to have to decide to

tion, and a whole lot of barbecuing. And yet I know that behind all those smiling, laughing faces there were moments when things weren’t as rosy. There were moments when even a Roger, the nicest guy you could ever meet, lost his temper. There were moments when he and Heather truly didn’t know what to do with some of their children. There were health problems and family problems and all those things that none of us can escape. And yet, last night Roger and Heather stood with their arms around each other greeting their friends, beaming. It’s a life well-lived. The idea of forty plus years together with one person seems so daunting. Wouldn’t that get boring? Most of us suffer wanderlust at one time or another. We’re with the same person, day after day, with all these responsibilities, and

Don’t worry overly much, Gentle Reader; Canada Blooms in March is the show for you. If you garden, if you sit near a garden, if you sit in a house and look out at a garden, there will be something for you at Blooms. Check this column in about a month and we’ll get gunned up on it. So why would I talk about a trade show in a gardening column? I believe it is vitally important that you realise how concerned your landscapers and nursery suppliers are about the business. We need to offer you the best available, not just in an effort to bury the local competition, but because that is what we’re about. An industry professional, Perry Molema, told us that we are in the business of enhancing our customers’ lives. I’m confident in saying that truly is what most of us are about. Mind you, we do need to make a profit in order to stay in business and that is not a bad thing. Along with the floor exhibits, Landscape Ontario hosts numerous seminars, lectures and training sessions at this show covering new techniques, new tools, and new laws (especially new laws!) and new plants.

Naturally I’m a titch partial to the last one. Next time you chat with a professional green trade lad or lassie ask them about Congress. I think you’ll be surprised at the depth of their answer.

As it happens, I’ll be involved in both of the following: Folk For Haiti: a fund-raiser for the children of Haiti who have become orphans due to natural catastrophes. The first set of music- folk/gospel selections will be presented by The Lenses of which I am a member. The second set will be folk/soft rock as played by RandR, a Brighton duo who are incredibly smooth and talented. Please join us at Trinity Saint Andrews United Church in Brighton, 2 p.m. on January 26. Every penny of the proceeds will be taken directly to Haiti. Dave Gunning: one of Canada’s best singer songwriters from Pictou, Nova Scotia has agreed to give a show in aid of

Dan Clost children’s mental health. This young man is a musical story-teller who rivals any of our great Canadian songsters, from Lightfoot to Tyson to Sylvia and mostly John Allan Cameron. By the way, it was his song that won the national challenge. Dave has significantly reduced his performance fee. The show is a non-ticketed event and this is the only mainstream advertising you will see. Seating is limited so please contact me at dan.clost@gmail.com so we can keep track of numbers. Every penny of the proceeds will be divided between a family in dire need of mental health services for a child and the Trenton High School Emergency Fund.

Lifestyles - This past week I attended Canada’s largest horticultural tradeshow, Landscape Ontario Congress, held at the Congress Centre every January. To give you an idea of its size, it is the fifth largest show of its sort on the North American continent hosting some 600 exhibitors who manage to clutter up eight acres of showroom floor. This means you need to arrive early or you’re walking over a mile just to get to the back door! This is the show where folks in the trade meet. While nongreen trade folk aren’t turned away, Congress is a place where friendships are renewed, research and education are main draws but, more than anything, business is done. A lot of time, money and effort go into such an event, including on the part of the “customers” and the atmosphere is friendly but very professional. Folks are expected to be well beyond Gardening 101 level and I have seen the odd “walk-in” sitting in a lecture completely overwhelmed by the technicality of the material being presented. For me, that is a very good thing because that is why I go to the show, along with spending some time in our company’s booth.

commit to someone or something. Sometimes everyone needs a fresh start if the life they’re living is dangerous, abusive, or degrading. And sometimes we’re thrown into that fresh start through no fault of our own. Yet too often people chuck something just because it’s lost that “newness” feeling. Yes, infatuation is heady, but you know what’s even better? Forty years of friends and family who can stand there when you’re 65 and still say all kinds of great things about you, because you’re still around. You haven’t gone anywhere. You’re with the same people, you’ve invested, and now you’re reaping the rewards. There’s no awkwardness with the kids or grandkids. There are no pictures you have to exclude from a lifetime of memories. There’s just a life well-lived, and that is something exciting.

When we first moved to Belleville, Roger became my husband Keith’s mentor, going out for coffee with him every so often and talking about work and parenting and marriage. Roger would, of course, be quick to tell you that the mentorship really went in the other direction. He’s the kind of person who genuinely enjoys and appreciates people. So there he was last night, with his daughters directing the show (insisting they were being “decisive”, not “bossy”), and his wife grinning from ear to ear, as people praised him and told him about all the seniors’ discounts he could now claim.

Getting psyched for the 22nd annual Polar Bear Plunge in Campbellford

By Sue Dickens

News – Campbellford – “If you psych yourself up for it it’s not too bad,� said Earl McLean, who is preparing to again leap into the frigid waters of the Trent River for the 22nd annual Polar Bear Plunge. “When you first go in it takes your breath away . . . actually you can’t breathe,� he admitted with a big grin. “My first plunge was in 1994. I’ve done it 12 or 13 times since then,� said this long-time supporter of the plunge. “I remember we had to cut a hole through the ice. It had

The fire department put two boats in the water to retrieve him. “If somebody hadn’t noticed him, he would be dead,� Austin said. “He was in there for a while before anybody noticed him.� The fire department held training sessions on ice/water rescue last week and another was scheduled for this week. “Every firefighter in Trent Hills is trained for ice/water rescue,� Austin said.

News – Campbellford – The annual Polar Bear Plunge wouldn’t take place without the hospital auxiliary members who organize it, the brave souls who agree to submerge themselves in the icy cold Trent River, the people who support them with pledges – and the firefighters who make sure the event goes off without a hitch. “We’re there to make sure everyone has a good time,� and does so safely, said John Austin, Station 2 commander with the Trent Hills Fire Department. The annual Polar Bear Plunge that will take place January 25 at Campbellford Lions Park. Firefighters have the same concern wherever there is frozen water that attracts the attention of people young and old. “In our eyes no ice is safe ice,� Austin said. “We’d like the people to avoid the slushy ice, the white ice, the black ice. Clear ice is the best ice, minimum four inches (thick).� If you are planning to go out on a body of water covered in ice, check it at several locations first, and “let somebody know you’re going out on the ice and what time you expect to return.� Austin also recommended taking along a survival kit that includes a cellphone and ice pick, anything that will enable a person to complete “a selfrescue� or at least prevent a difficult situation from getting worse, to buy time for the arrival of firefighters. Snowmobilers and ice fishers are two groups whose activities can put them at risk. “Don’t travel at night� is another admonition he offers to encourage careful behaviour. “You can’t see the ice at night, you

“This was my idea . . . I am already regretting it,� she said jokingly. “I don’t do cold well especially when in fish nets and derby shorts,� she added laughing. “I plan on Googling hints for going into the cold water.� This year’s Polar Bear Plunge will take place Saturday, January 25 at noon at Lions Beach in Campbellford. Anyone wanting to sponsor McLean can call 613-3282106 or drop donations off at the Campbellford Legion, Branch 103, where he will DJ for a dance later the same day, to raise more money.

John Russell, executive director of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation and Maurice Goulet, manager of the hospital’s laboratory, did the Penguin walk much to the delight of the crowd last year. They plan on doing it again. “We are just trying to support the cause and help in as many ways as we can,� he said. Newcomer to the plunge is Tonya McColl-Smith of Hastings, a member of a Peterborough women’s roller derby team. “There will be about five of us, including Marnie Guindon of Campbellford. We are called the Amazons,� she explained. “The more people that know about our team the more they will support us. Our team wants to support the hospital and different foundations so it’s a winwin,� she added.

This year he will be participating with his niece Charmaine McLean and her daughter Kelly Redden. “My brother Jimmy who jumped with me in 1994 will be taking the plunge too,� said McLean, whose wife Sharon will be there videotaping the event.

Air Force Museum volunteers restore heritage aircraft By Kate Everson

News – Quinte West – Volunteers working in the back workshop of the National Air Force Museum of Canada are restoring a heritage Anson and a Hudson aircraft. “I’ve been here since 1995,� said Guy Cuerrier, who just turned 82. “I’ve been here since they started working on the Halifax.� Guy was in the air force for 34 years as an instrument technician. He knows just about everything there is to know about aircraft. John Dogger is another volunteer, working on the Hudson. He has been here since 1998, also working on the Halifax. “I was a civil engineer,� he said. “I built bridges.� Talented guys like these are what makes the restoration of heritage aircraft possible. What parts they don’t have they either find or make. “There are 750,000 rivets on the Halifax,� Guy smiles. Former millwright Derek Palidwar is busy at the lathe making parts to fit the aircraft. He has been working

in the back for five years. Newcomer Justin Daniels is helping find parts for the Hudson. Paul Botting is restoration workshop manager and he keeps an eye on everything. “Wednesday is the busiest day,� he says. “We have 25 volunteers altogether.� He said the 1942 Lockheed Hudson Mark 6 came in from Alberta with no wings or tail. “We get parts from all over,� he said. He noted the bomber trainer was also used in the first air-sea rescue. The Avro Anson Mark 2, also 1942 vintage, came from a museum in Alberta, just pieces and a shell. The wood was all rotted away and they have to make new wings and a tail out of 1/16 plywood with fabric stretched over it. “We use an iron to put on the fabric,� notes Guy. The Anson is expected to take six years to complete. “We’re about three quarters done,� says Paul. “It depends on the volunteers.�

He notes the completed Anson will not be going outside in the Air Park since it has wood on it. They will have to take it all apart and drag it piece by piece into the museum and put it together again, to be on display beside the Halifax, because the doors are too small. The Hudson is about 40 per cent complete and will take at least another three years to restore. Guy says he is proud of what the volunteers have accomplished. It took 12 years to restore the Halifax, brought in pieces from a lake in Norway. “I can’t believe we did it,� he smiled. “We feel a lot of pride.� Guy said not all the pieces of the Halifax were recovered. They needed one piece that sank to the bottom of the lake. They found a similar piece in western Scotland. “A lady was using it for a chicken coop,� he smiled. “She sold it to us for 20 pounds.� He said the military sent a Hercules to bring the missing piece home. When Guy walks around the fully restored Halifax now, he clearly knows every little part of it. He points to the bomb bay, which has a white canister in it. “That was used to drop food and supplies to the resistance,� he explains. “It had a parachute on it.� Another little piece of information he shared was that the popular band ABBA disbanded because they discovered that one of the singers was of German descent. At the base of the Halifax are two model airplanes, one of a Lancaster and another the Halifax. “The Lanc had a liquid cooled engine and the Halifax was air-cooled,� Guy notes. He said Canada used Lancasters to help map the Arctic after the war. The only two flyable ones now are in Hamilton and England. As he rounds the Halifax he points to a door near the roundel (in the middle) where the crew would enter. He lifts the hatch to show an opening almost big enough for a person to step inside. Unfortunately, no one is allowed in.

The Anson has a wooden tail and wings with fabric on top.

The work done by volunteers is crucial to the air force museum. Helping to raise funds through the foundation is a raffle on a 1987 Jaguar XJ twodoor cabriolet, now on display. To get a ticket see foundation@ airforcemuseum.ca or call 613-9657314. You may not be able to get inside the Halifax, but this car would send you flying! Guy Barsi and Mike Joly are replacing the “skin� of the Hudson.

John Dogger works on parts of the Hudson. He helped rebuild the Halifax.

Campbellford entrepreneur hopes to score big with his pond hockey apparel By Sue Dickens

Business – Campbellford – Local entrepreneur Rob Carleton has taken pond hockey to a new level and he’s hoping to score big with his latest venture as he prepares to audition for an appearance on the popular reality TV show Dragon’s Den. His company, Original Pond Gear, has already made inroads in the marketplace, the result of some creative stick handling by Carleton. “Launched in 2012 Original Pond Gear (OPG) is a clothing company providing quality apparel items for the passionate outdoor hockey players,â€? explained Carleton. Tested online first, it soon became evident the hoodies, t-shirts, sweatshirts, trapper hats and more were hot items, melting any concerns Carleton and his partner had about the product. When Ron McLean from Coach’s Corner appeared on Hockey Day in Canada wearing an OPG hoodie last year, Carleton said their website exploded! His partner, Tim McAllister, originally from Kingston, played hockey with Carleton when they attended Carleton University. “Tim went on to get a scholarship in Huntsville, Alabama and now he runs Nashville Youth Hockey and trains the Nashville Predators,â€? said Carleton. They decided to take their product across Canada. To make a long story short, Carleton pitched his gear to Steve McCarthy, who is the previous dealer of the Canadian Tire store in Campbellford, but now has a store in Toronto.

“He said it was a great idea so he got me in the door to have a meeting with the buyer of Canada for Canadian Tire,� said Carleton, whose skills and experience won him the marketing manager of the year award for all of Canada in 2007 while working for Boston Pizza. After learning that the Canadian Tire Kingston outlet is the highest grossing outlet in terms of hockey equipment sales in Canada he decided to shoot for that store, hoping to score. The six degrees of separation theory seemed to be working for him. “My partner who lives in Nashville is best friends with the owner of the store in Kingston. Their product was soon on sale there. “I wanted to pick one more store and test the waters so I thought Campbellford is my hometown, it would be great to sell my gear here,� said Carleton. He approached the Canadian Tire Associate dealer, Aaron Macanuel, who thought it was a great idea. Macanuel commented on the pond gear, “We are proud to support a local Campbellford business and carry such a high quality apparel offering from Original Pond Gear for our customers.  Since launching in our store, customer response has been phenomenal as people were ecstatic to find out that they can now buy OPG in a store locally, giving them a chance to touch, feel and try on the great line-up of hoodies, shirts and hats.�  “It touched me because I am making a run at this and it’s in my hometown,�

added Carleton. He has now also “partnered upâ€? with the Peterborough Petes and the Niagara Ice Dogs of the Ontario Hockey League. Their players wear the gear and he also gives out the OPG Peterborough Petes Player of the Month Award.

And it’s being endorsed by some big names including former NHLer Kris King, the senior vice president of the National Hockey League. Carleton hopes King’s schedule will allow him to attend the Dragon’s Den investors with him.

“We hope to score big and get some backing to take this company even further into the end zone,� said Carleton. To learn more about OPG and the big names endorsing the company go to the company’s website: www.originalpondgear.com

Beach Boys musical coming to Maranatha By Steve Jessel

Entertainment - While the weather outside is due to remain cold and gloomy for the coming weeks, students from the Quinte Secondary School musical theatre class are looking to inject a little sunshine into the season with a home-brewed musical theatre production later this month, entitled Endless Summer. Taking place on January 22, 23, 24 and 25 at Maranatha Church at 7 p.m., Endless Summer follows the story of a group of young adults in the late 1960’s on the sunny California coast as they search for the next big wave to the music of the Beach Boys. The show is a labour of love of 29 students in Grades 10, 11 and 12 students in the musical theatre class at QSS. Teacher James Sharpe said the idea was to present a bright, colourful and easily accessible theme that anyone could enjoy. “Everybody knows what they’re going to get with this show,” Sharpe said. “If you say 1968 and the Beach Boys, everyone knows what you’re talking about.” While the basic storyline of the show was something Sharpe has had in the back of his head for several years, he said the students have played a huge role in shaping the script and characters to

what it is today. The students also designed and built stage pieces, character sketches and costume designs. Sharpe said no matter what the turnout is for their performances, he’s already proud of what the students have accomplished. “I want them to sing well, I want them to act well, and I want the lights to go on when they’re supposed to go on... but at the end of the day this is a school, and a class, and a process,” Sharpe said. “As far as my expectations for students go it’s already been a success.” Returning Grade 12 student Meghan Weinhold said putting the show together with her classmates has been a fun process and, as one of the only students with theatre experience, she offered a piece of advice for any performers who might be feeling nervous. “Just go and have fun, show what you’re learned,” she said. “I just love (performing) it gives you a rush. When you get out on stage it’s that feeling...you’re so happy and excited.” The cast includes Jacob Spencer, Tenzin Gompo, Jayden Jones, Morgan Fothergill, Weinhold and Holli Holton playing the lead characters, while Cole Goodfellow, Damien Sheldrick, William

Hear the pounding of the drums Entertainment – Colourful costumes, determined choreography and the rhythmic sounds of Japanese culture are invading Belleville and Kingston this month with the Quinte Children’s Theatre (QCT) presentation of Japanese taiko drum group Fubuki Daiko, and Ted Howe, artistic director for the QCT said it’s all about offering children and families access to the best and most engaging entertainment possible. “I’m just sort of fed up with what’s passing as children’s entertainment these days... it’s essentially just foam heads,” Howe said. “People are paying $25 a ticket to go and see what isn’t fully engaged theatre. In other words, the performers are

on stage with these foam heads, but they’re not reactive to the audience because they’re simply moving to cued dialogue and music... it’s not really theatre.” Taking place on January 18 at 1p.m. in Belleville at Maranatha Church and January 22 at 7 p.m. at Sydenham Street United Church in Kingston, Fubuki Daiko is a taiko drum group that regularly tours North America. Taiko drumming finds its roots in ancient Japanese culture, where it took a variety of forms from marching troops to war to celebrating the harvest, but in modern times is largely a performance art that also includes instruments such as the flute. “To me it’s all part of giving

children and families the opportunity to experience art that is unique,” Howe said. “It’s dance, it’s rhythm, it’s beautiful to watch and beautiful to listen to.” A retired kindergarten teacher, Howe said providing affordable, quality entertainment for children and families is they key tenet for the QCT, and that 2014 already has a promising slate of singers, songwriters, theatre companies and dance companies lined up for performances. While the vast majority of QTC shows are held in Belleville at Maranatha Church, Howe said Fubuki Daiko offered a unique opportunity when they planned Belleville visit. After speaking with group director Hiroshi Koshiyama, Howe was able to

arrange for an additional performance in Kingston on january 22, but was also able to arrange for several school shows for Belleville and Kingston students after speaking with local school principals. Tickets are now on sale for both performances, and cost just $7.50 in advance and $10 at the door. Howe said the low ticket price was thanks to the generous donations of ther sponsors, and the fact that QTC is a nonprofit organization with no paid staff. To purchase tickets, visit www.quintechildrenstheatre.ca or call 613-967-0255, ext. 3.

Leader of the Pack revs up at Centennial High School Entertainment – Belleville – The music department at Centennial Secondary School is staging a production of Leader of the Pack on January 16-19. The show traces the musical career of Ellie Greenwich, a gifted songwriter who co-wrote many

hits with her husband Jeff Barry, including Chapel of Love, Do Wah Diddy, Be My Baby, Da Doo Ron Ron, Baby I Love You, Leader of the Pack, And Then He Kissed Me, River Deep Mountain High and Christmas­ Baby Please Come Home.

The CSS production of Leader of the Pack includes over twenty songs and boasts a special guest appearance by local music celebrity, Freddie Vette. The performances will run on Thursday, January 16th, Friday January 17th and Saturday, Janu-

Major internet boost at local business parks News – Brighton – The news of contracts awarded to expand internet connectivity in industrial parks is a welcome boost to local economic development. The Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) announced last week Bell Aliant, Cogeco Cable and Utilities Kingston have all received deals to provide new high-capacity, high-speed fibre connections and allow more businesses to connect. The business park project, valued at about $8.9 million, is the latest phase of the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) project, a $170 million initiative to expand rural broadband throughout the region. Created by the EOWC, the project is supported by federal, provincial, and municipal funding, and private sector investment. EORN is the largest rural broadband project in Ontario, serving a region of more than 1 million people spread over 50,000 square kilometres. And the timing couldn’t have been better for Brighton. The expanded industrial park, currently under construction to install infrastructure services, is one of more than 50 locations receiving new fibre connections within the region. Cogeco Cable was awarded the contract for the industrial park connection as well as other area locations at Cramahe Township (Purdy Road Industrial Park) and Quinte West (Frankford and North Murray Industrial Parks). In Trent Hills, Campbellford and Tanner Industrial Parks will be serviced by Bell Aliant. “This investment could not have been announced at a more opportune time,” said Deputy Mayor Mike Vandertoorn, in a press release. “The

new industrial park in Brighton is an expansion to our existing park, with 50 acres of new industrial land available for development. This effort will help us attract and retain local business and support our economic growth.” “Businesses in today’s economy must have access to high speed in order to operate efficiently and competitively,” added municipal economic development manager Elisha Purchase. “We are thrilled to be receiving support through the EORN program as this investment will strengthen our ability to attract new business to the Brighton industrial park.” “Thanks to prudent financial management and project oversight, we are able to deliver this added value to business parks as part of the EORN initiative,” said EORN chairperson David Burton, in a news release. “We expect to complete construction to the business parks by the end of 2014.” In December, the EOWC announced the completion of the EORN backbone, which will allow residents and businesses improved access to high-speed internet thanks to the completion, four months ahead of schedule, of a massive 5,500-kilometre fibre optic network. The network, built by Bell Aliant and Bell, involved laying 520 kilometres of new fibre optic cable to connect 5,000 kilometres of existing lines, as well as building 160 new points of access for high-speed Internet services across the region. Local Internet service providers can purchase bandwidth from these access hubs in order to deliver improved high-speed access. According to the EORN website, the network is about connect-

ing Eastern Ontario to the world. “High-speed Internet isn’t a luxury, it’s the cost of doing business

in a global marketplace, and thanks to this project, Eastern Ontario will not be left behind.”

Dr. Brian Ho In our office, we encounter many people who are frustrated with their dentures and are looking for other replacement options. Below is a list of the most common complaints that are experienced by denture wearers: • I cannot eat steak. • I have sore spots • My dentures keep falling out. • I cannot taste food very well. • I gag while wearing my dentures If you are a denture wearer, and are experiencing similar problems with your dentures, you are not alone. In previous articles, we discussed some of the reasons why people have trouble with dentures including continued bone loss after the loss of teeth and movement of the tongue in their mouth. Hence, the nature of dentures often makes them very difficult to utilize. As dentists, we frequently hear stories from individuals about their negative experiences with dentures. My colleague shared a story with me about a patient who lost his denture on his honeymoon while on a cruise after enjoying some beers. The patient was in his early

forties and hadn’t told his newly wed wife about this denture. Needless to say, it was quite an embarrassing moment for him. Another patient shared a story about how his denture fell out of his mouth while he was blowing out the candles on his birthday cake. These are scenarios that dentists are happy to eliminate for patients by offering the option of dental implants. Often times, dental implants are the ideal solution for many denture patients, so it is a common recommendation I make for my denture patients. Sometimes they respond saying, “But doctor, I have heard that implants are expensive”. Yes, implants can be expensive. But you will be surprised to know that there are many affordable options available. In many cases, you will get significant improvements over your current dentures with a fee equivalent to or often less than what you would pay for a vacation down south. With monthly payment options that are offered by many dentists, you will be surprised how affordable dental implant therapy can be. Just imagine going on vacation and being able to eat all the foods you want without worrying about your loose dentures. Consider dental implant therapy and you could be smiling confidently all vacation long.

Trenton Seniors Glee Club sings for fun and pleasure By Kate Everson

Entertainment – Quinte West – The residents of Crown Ridge Retirement Home were delighted to hear songs from the past from the Trenton Seniors Glee Club on January 8. It was just one of many concerts the group puts on in the community. “Our mission is to perform a community service for primarily senior shut-ins living in facilities,” says president Garry Campbell. “Through our mini musical concerts, we bring the residents joy, share love and just have plain old fashioned fun!” The Trenton Seniors Glee Club (TSGC) is a group of seniors ranging from 60 to

90, presently consisting of 30 active members. “We practise every Wednesday morning and perform in the afternoon at primarily nursing homes, long term care facilities and retirement residences located within a 55 kilometre radius of Trenton,” he adds. “We perform approximately 44 mini-musical concerts a year with July and August off for a much needed vacation.” Garry says in 2014 the theme of the concerts will change monthly and they are introducing a new rotational booking schedule to enable 22 facilities to get two different concerts a year and see all of them over a five-year

time frame. The group has a variety of acts. In addition to the group singing at performances, they also feature soloists, duets, trios, skits and even a comedian. “ A very popular part of our show is audience participation, where residents sing along with us to those golden oldies that everyone knows and loves to remember,” he smiles. “Our shows are like a big family songfest with lots of high energy and enthusiasm.” Garry says several unexpected changes took place in 2013 to enable the club to continue serving the community. “It became necessary due to financial reasons for us to find a new location to practise, and it also became necessary for us to recruit a new pianist,” he says. “We welcome Tibor Csaszar.” The TSGC is now in its 31st season. Ernie Longden who turned 98 in November, 2013 decided it was time to retire as he was finding it difficult to get out and about in winter. Ernie resides in the Season’s Dufferin Centre and has not given up singing completely as he is in a group of singers there. Another long-term member is Mabel Whitley who is 94 years young. “Mabel is our only founding member that is still active each week,” Garry says. “Mabel, God bless her, loves to sing for the “young people” in the seniors’ residences and nursing homes.” There are a number of members in their 80s who are active throughout the community in other volunteer positions. “Any senior, (you know, us older kids with a few character-lines in our faces), that likes to sing and share their talents with other seniors, is welcome to join the TSGC,” Garry adds. “Reading music is not a necessity as noted by Albert Dutfield who lost his sight ap-

Proposed Hastings subdivision raises concerns pensation measures are addressed and implemented,” he said. “We believe the subject lands represent a significant opportunity to create a spectacular residential community with scenic views of Rice Lake, the stream valley and the surrounding hills,” Clark said. The internal road planned for the subdivision would benefit Trentwood residents as well by providing them and emergency responders with another means to access their properties, he said. Amendments to the municipality’s official plan and zoning bylaw will be required and a draft plan of subdivision approved for the development to proceed. Maple Ridge resident Eddie Stackhouse questioned the need for more homes, saying “there is no housing shortage in Hastings. “All you’re going to do is flood the market (and) make it very difficult for homeowners to sell their property ...at fair market value,” he said. They’ll be forced to sell at “rock bottom prices.” Clark said the pace of development would depend on how quickly the lots sell and it would be left to the purchasers to decide what to build. “It’s not as if we’re going to be ... building a number of homes and then trying to sell them,” he said. Stackhouse, and others who followed him, said the additional traffic on his neighbourhood’s roads, which “already are in a state of deterioration,” will hasten them falling apart. The new homes will also drive up property values in the area and the reMaplewood Drive resident Eddie Stackhouse spoke forcefully at a public sulting higher taxes could force seniors, meeting against a subdivision that’s been proposed for south of Hastings already burdened with rising hydro on Rice Lake.

News - Hastings – A second public meeting will be held to receive comment about a 28-lot subdivision that’s been proposed south-west of Hastings on Rice Lake. Council agreed to another session after people complained at the first public meeting held January 7 that not everyone with property near the site on Concession 11 had received notice of the development proposal. Several of those who did voiced their concerns, in person and in letters, with the planned subdivision by White Horse Investment Corporation. Their fears included increased traffic on nearby Maple Ridge Drive in Trent-

PET

wood Estates, the loss of trees and wildlife habitat, and the potential adverse impact the subdivision would have on their supply of well water, property values, and quality of life. Consultant Bob Clark said the lots, which average 1.2 hectares, are “compatible” in size with those in the adjacent Trentwood Estates, and they would be developed in a way that’s “sensitive to the natural environment.” Studies commissioned by White Horse concluded the proposed subdivision would have no impact on the “local groundwater regime” and not very much on the 36.5-hectare site’s natural features, provided certain “recommendations and mitigation/com-

and heating bills, “out of their homes,” he said. “There are only so many notches in the belt you can tighten.” Lakeshore Drive residents Cora and Tony Casamento sought guarantees their source of water wouldn’t be interrupted as well as assurances that compensation would be paid in the event their supply failed because of the subdivision. Clark said the drilled wells serving the new lots would tap into an aquifer “much lower” than the one serving residences in Trentwood. Peters told Martha McGregor the local conservation authority

identified what has to be done to protect wildlife habitat, such as establishing buffer zones in certain areas. Mayor Hector Macmillan acknowledged the residents’ “genuine concerns” but he told them he hadn’t heard sufficient reasons to turn down the developer’s application based on what the province’s Planning Act says. “Why have a meeting with the public if you’re just going to ignore what we’re saying?” exploded one member of the audience, who loudly berated the mayor before he stormed out of the room. Macmillan said council “can’t

make a decision on emotion” and Deputy-mayor Bob Crate said there has to be “a valid reason” to reject the proposal, or else it will trigger an Ontario Municipal Board hearing the municipality would lose. Councillor Gene Brahaney spoke in favour of another public meeting being held, “to be seen as an olive branch extended (to those who) feel we’ve shortchanged them in the process.” Council agreed to hold one within 60 days and to make an effort to contact property owners, many of them seasonal residents, who hadn’t been notified of the first meeting.

HBM backs mayor’s attack on hydro rate hikes

By Bill Freeman

News – Havelock-BelmontMethuen – Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan got it absolutely right when he went on the offensive and attacked a projected 42 per cent hike in hydro costs over the next five years, says HavelockBelmont-Methuen council. Township council agreed to pass a resolution during their regular meeting Monday decrying the “unsustainable and unmanageable” mess hydro rates have become. Councillors were particularly blunt when it came to assessing the damage a more-than 40 per cent rate hike will have on local ratepayers, businesses and the municipality itself. “The overall business plan they have isn’t going to work, it’s going

to self-destruct,” Councillor Jim Martin said. Martin, like others, praised the frontline Hydro One employees who worked tirelessly under “extreme conditions” to get power back on to scores of thousands of Ontarians who lost power during the recent ice storm. The problem doesn’t lie there, he said. Mayor Macmillan was authorized by Trent Hills council to write to the Ontario Ombudsman protesting the dramatic escalation in rates embedded in the provincial government’s so-called long-term energy plan. Under the plan, rates will increase 33 per cent over the next three years and within five years they will jump 42 per cent for the average family.

HBM Mayor Ron Gerow also took aim at comments Peterborough MPP and Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal made on the proposed hikes. Gerow said that Leal suggested that Ontario still had some of the best hydro rates in the country compared to other jurisdictions. Mayor Gerow said he was “disgusted” by that assessment. “I intend to tell him that,” he said. “It was not the right political answer and in real life it was not the right answer at all.” Gerow wanted a resolution that would put the province “on notice that the increases in hydro over the next four years are not only not sustainable they are not manageable.” The resolution, which will be

circulated at Peterborough County council and to other municipalities, will ask that an “independent review” of Hydro One be undertaken. “We need to take a look at the overall costs of operating and providing electricity to the residents of Ontario at affordable rates that are sustainable,” Gerow said. “I don’t know about anybody else but I can’t afford to pay 40 per cent more. I know there are a lot of folks out there who are on the edge.” The municipality itself will struggle with increases like that, he added. “If we just sit back and do absolutely nothing this will unfold.” “It seems like they really don’t care,” said Councillor Barry Pome-

Warkworth historical society fading into history By John Campbell

Lifestyles – Warkworth – The Warkworth-Percy Historical Society has all but disappeared but its longstanding efforts to preserve local history continue unabated. “We dissolved a year ago,” said the society’s last chair, Bob Rowe. “We decided the interest just wasn’t there to carry on. “There wasn’t enough members ... (and) the turnouts (for guest speakers) weren’t that great,” he said. “It just got to the point where you’d hate to ask somebody.”

However, a core group of society volunteers – Rowe, Maureen Lennon, Dorothy Smooker, Noreen Luke and George McCleary – still meet periodically to oversee what’s to become of the archives kept at the Warkworth Memorial Community Centre. Rowe said he and the others went through the collection and “thinned it down a fair bit,” removing redundant and “trivial stuff.” The remaining work was turned over to a couple of local high school students last September.

Northumberland OPP said the deer collided with a 2010 Hyundai Accent shortly before 6:50 a.m. Following a search of the vehicle, the driver, Michol John Kirkston Krakenberg, 28, was charged with having more than 30 grams of marijuana in his possession. He was also charged with two counts of failing to comply with a probation order, and failing to surrender an insurance card under the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act.

mann and Kasey Everden, spend a couple of hours twice a week scanning material to be posted on the website that will continue to provide an online presence for the organization. “We’re going to try to pick up the pace on the scanning and (have) some of the rest of us get involved in that end of it, too,” Rowe said. Although the decision to disband the group was inevitable, “I hated to see it but you have to face reality.” Now, “our intent is to preserve everything we’ve got and have it down there for years to come,”

Rowe said, “before we’re completely defunct.” Smooker said the Campbellford-Seymour Heritage Society and the Northumberland County archives in Cobourg “are going to keep some” of what Warkworth had, such as newspapers. “We didn’t have a whole lot of artifacts.” Smooker knew the end was coming because the number of active members declined considerably and insurance costs kept climbing. “Everybody struggles to find more volunteers,” Trent Hills Coun. Kim McNeil noted.

Couple adopts two cats after seeing them in this newspaper’s free ads By Sue Dickens

News – Trent Hills – Two furry felines have found their “forever” home after being featured in an ad in The Trent Hills Independent as part of an ongoing series showcasing cats rescued by the Cat Care Spay Neuter Initiative (CCSNI). “I remember throwing out the kitty litter scoop after our last cat and saying I am never going to do it again. Then we saw the ad featuring Peaches,” said Gordon Rigby. He and Helen Reid live in a

home in the country near Havelock and both have had dogs and cats most of their lives. In fact Skamp, an American Cocker Spaniel, adopted four years ago, was there to greet Peaches who was adopted just last week. “It’s sad to think somebody had Skamp for eight years. The Humane society said he was found wandering the streets,” said Rigby. To make Peaches their own they have named her Skid. “We sort of picked her because

she was cute and Gord likes the smile. colour orange,” said Reid, who scooped up Skid from behind the couch. “They are just nice to She’s only been in their care for have around. There’s a couple of weeks and is still getting used to the new surroundings. something missing when “We were concerned about her being a nuisance at night, you know, there’s not an animal in like walking on my head, cats do the house.

“I’ve had a dog my whole entire life since I was a kid. It was my sister that had the cats in the family,” said Reid. “I guess I wasn’t a cat person . . . then,” Reid said, while giving Skid a pat. Both agree having animals is making their life richer. “They are just nice to have around. There’s something missing when there’s not an animal in the house. When you come home there’s a void,” said Reid. To ease the transition into their home the couple put a dog bed behind their couch. “We put that there because Skid spent a lot of time behind the couch when she first came here. She can sit in there,” Rigby explained. She is behind the couch less often now. Cats rescued by CCSNI, founded by Suzanne Hart of Havelock, are from the streets and back roads of Northumberland County. The feral cats are spayed or neutered and put back in their colonies. Kittens are put up for adoption. Because they have so many cats and kittens now this non-profit group has recently cut its fees in half - $75 for kittens and $50 for cats. “It’s a great deal, they are spayed or neutered, given flea products , dewormed and have their shots,” said Rigby. In fact the couple thought it is such a great deal they got a buddy for Skid on the weekend adopting another CCSNI cat named Slipper – now named Jack. He was rescued when he was about one week old with his mother and brother from a garage. “The only disadvantage (other than training them not to claw furniture) is if they get on your lap and you are watching TV you can’t get up . . . So we keep the phone and remote close by,” said Rigby grinning. To give a cat/kitten a “forever” home check out the ad in this newspaper each week.

Helen Reid and Gordon Rigby, who live near Havelock, recently adopted “Peaches” now named “Skid” from the Cat Care Spay Neuter Initiative (CCSNI). This past weekend the couple decided to find her a buddy and adopted “Slippers” now named “Jack”. “Skid” was featured in one of the free ads this newspaper publishes each week showcasing the many cats and kittens available. They discovered “Jack” at the CCSNI adopt-a-thon held last weekend in Campbellford. Their dog Skamp welcomed them to the home. Photo: Sue Dickens

Flying high at season opener Sports – Quinte West – The Quinte West Track Club (QWTC) kicked off the 2014 year by attending an invitational indoor track and field meet hosted by the Flying Angels of Toronto at York University this past weekend.

This was Fray’s first series of jumps since his gold-medal performance at the Canadian legion national championships held last summer.

Sports – Belleville – The OHL trade deadline has come and passed, and after a tumultuous season of trades in Belleville the Bulls stayed mostly quiet outside of a minor goaltending shuffle. In their first of two trades, the Bulls sent a 2016 fifth-round draft pick and a 2014 15th-round draft pick to the Kitchener Rangers to acquire 18-year old goaltender and Brampton native Hayden Lavigne. Next, the Bulls sent backup goaltender Jason Da Silva and a 2017 fifth-round pick to Peterborough to acquire goalie Michael Giugovaz from the Petes. Da Silva had started seven games for the Bulls this season, recording a 5.11 GAA and a .854 save percentage in 12 total appearances. Giugoaz, a former 10th round selection of the Petes comes to Belleville sporting a 4.35 GAA and .861 save percentage in 20 appearances this season. “I don’t know that anything has changed because of the trade deadline,� Bulls head coach and general manager George Burnett said. “We made two or three moves during the early part of the season, moves that we felt were necessary to make ourselves a year or two younger as well as recoup most of or more than our draft allotment. We’re in good shape with a returning group and a young team that seems to be improving ... We’re still battling for that consistency but we’re improving every day.� Despite their early season struggles the Bulls remain just six points back of the Niagara IceDogs for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, and Burnett

said the focus for the remainder of the season would be on improving the teams consistency with an eye to nabbing that eighth seed come playoff time. “We have struggled to put multiple wins together which is why we’re still on the outside of the playoff race looking in right now,� Burnett said “But we’re one good weekend away from being right in the mix for a playoff push.� The Bulls latest chance to close that gap came on Saturday night at the Yardmen Arena in Belleville against the Sudbury Wolves, who entered the game as winners of 13 of their previous 14

games. The Bulls, playing without top defencemen Jake Worrad and Adam Bignell due to injury and without forward Cameron Brace after on OHL suspension, put up a good fight. But they were eventually overwhelmed by the firstplace Wolves in a 4-2 loss. Belleville goals were scored by Mark Raycroft and Nikki Petti while Brody Morris picked up an assist for the Bulls, who dropped to 12-262-2 on the season. Belleville plays Ottawa this weekend in a home-and-home series beginning with a trip to Ottawa Friday. The Bulls host the 67’s Saturday night in Belleville at 7:05 p.m.

For cat lovers: A visit to Malaysia’s “Cat Museum” By John M. Smith

The entrance to Kuching’s Cat Museum.

when cats were considered so valuable and important that a person who killed a cat could be put to death, too! The Egyptians were the first to domesticate cats, and I found out that ancient Egyptians often shaved their eyebrows in mourning when the family cat died. The Egyptians even had a cat goddess, Bastet, who protected crops, made rain and symbolized motherhood. There are some very bizarre cat stories on display within the museum, such as the woman who decided to cremate her dead cat and mix the cat’s ashes into tattoo ink – and she then had a cat sketch tattooed onto her leg! I also discovered that one entire section of the museum was dedicated to the five species of wild cats still found in this part of the world. The museum claims to have the only mounted specimen of the world’s rarest cat, the Felis Badia, which is only found in Borneo’s rain forests. The cat’s significance in music is also ‘noted’ in this museum, for there’s a reference to such songs as “The Cat Came Back”

(from the late 1800’s) and “Kitten on the Keys” (a jazz classic from 1921) – and, of course, the famous musical, “Cats” (based on poetry by T.S. Eliot). The Kuching Cat Museum is located in the North City Hall, on Bukit Siol, a hill with a great view of the city. It’s free to visit this unusual, unique museum, but there’s a charge for using a camera. It’s open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday, including public holidays. You can see the Sarawak River from up here, which used to be the city’s main highway and it’s still very important, for much of present day life is concentrated along this river. I found that the narrow, bustling streets near the river were crammed with ornate temples, markets, historic buildings and traditional shops selling local handicrafts and foods. In addition to the Kuching Cat Museum and the city’s cat statues, you’ll want to check out some other points of interest while visiting this part of Malaysia, including

One of many cat sculptures found in the city of Kuching.

the Chinese Museum (it’s free), a ceramics factory (Sarawak is famous for its unusually decorated earthenware vases of all shapes and sizes), the Sarawak Museum, the Sarawak Cultural Village, and the Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (where I saw

endangered orangutans – and wrote about them in a previous article). I discovered that the Kuching Cat Museum was divided into four main galleries – and it certainly contained a lot of entertaining memorabilia and information for any feline aficionado.

Lifestyles - Kuching is the capital of the state of Sarawak on Borneo in Malaysia, and “Kucing” translates as “Cat” in Malay, so it’s rather appropriate that I found a “Cat Museum” in the city of Kuching, Malaysia. Some visitors might find this museum to be rather strange, even tacky, but if you’re a cat fan, then this could be the museum for you! It’s indeed, a rather unique museum, perhaps the only one of its kind in the world, and it features over 2,000 feline-related items. It not only contains a plethora of cat statues, photos, posters, jigsaw puzzles and even stamps (for cat loving philatelists) from all over the world, but it also offers a lot of information about the history and importance of cats in various cultures. One of the museum’s galleries has fascinating accounts of the cat’s role in the Chinese, Egyptian, Japanese and Malay societies. For example, I discovered that many Malaysians believe that cats have special supernatural powers, and may bring luck; they’re therefore treated with great respect. Cats are the most popular pet to be found in this country and Kuching has several cat sculptures within the city, especially along the Pandungan Road and along the waterfront, to honour this feline creature. One of the sculptures near the city’s entrance, has a cat standing with its paw stretched out, as if welcoming guests to this city. In the museum itself, one of the posters advocates the importance and reliability of the pet cat in the Malay home: “HE WON’T DO THE DISHES, BUT HE”LL BE THERE WHEN YOU NEED HIM.” As I entered and exited the Kuching Cat Museum, I walked through the giant mouth of a cat, and among the most impressive displays that I found within the museum was a mummified Egyptian cat that dated back to about 3500 BC. I learned that the ancient Egyptians certainly revered these animals. There was even a period of time

ceed. She makes the trip to Wellington five times a week. And at a height of five feet, nine inches, coach Lisa Conley says Madeline is fighting a disadvantage every time she steps on the ice. “Your typical skater is tiny,” says Conley. “It’s what a lot of the judges look for but tall girls can skate.” “It’s harder for people at her height to control their body,” she explained. “It takes a lot of training and a lot of work and she does a really good job of it. She has the notso-typical figure skating look but there are tall figure skaters out there that are really successful.” And researchers agree; shorter people have lower centers of gravity, which provides greater stability and a resistance to falling. As a consequence, shorter people can excel in a number of sports, including gymnastics, diving, skiing, martial arts, rock climbing, rodeo riding, soccer, long distance running and figure skating. But, Madeline says she is up for the challenge. “I’m very much a perfectionist,” she said. “I love the challenge of not always being perfect and working at getting better and better. “I find that if I don’t have a good skate, the next day I want to better,” she adds. “It’s pretty much what fuels me day-to-day and At five feet, nine inches tall, Madeline Patenall isn’t the in trying to meet my goals.” prototypical figure skater but she says she’s up for the Madeline says she never watches her challenge.

By Ray Yurkowski

Sports – Brighton – As international sports enthusiasts look forward to the Winter Olympics at Sochi, a local figure skater is finding her share of success on the ice. Representing the Prince Edward County Skating Club, East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) student Madeline Patenall highlighted last season by winning the Eastern Ontario StarSkate Invitational competition at Belleville and competing at the provincial championship at North Bay. This season, she mined gold in the Central Ontario competition at Barrie and placed fourth by a single point at the juvenile women (under 14) Eastern Ontario sectional championship at Kingston. As a result, she will be attending the Ontario Winter Games next month at Orillia as an alternate. As well, early this season, Madeline was invited to the Eastern Ontario Youth Camp at Kingston. Skaters were selected based on their competition scores to attend the weekend seminar geared to enhancing competitive performance, improving technical skills and providing motivation for the competitive season ahead. The 13-year-old has been skating since she was four and competing since she was five. And it takes a lot of practice to suc-

the ice it’s “a nervous excitement.” “It’s a focus,” she said. “I think about what I have to do to be successful.” Her routine before competition includes a run and some alone time while plugged into her iPod. “I like to be active before a competition because I find I skate better,” she said. And what’s on her playlist? “It’s really depends on how I’m feeling that day,” she said with a laugh. Coach Conley agrees. “It’s a sport where you have to worry a lot more about yourself than what other people are doing,” she said. While Madeline does admit to having Olympic dreams, she’s taking it one season at a time. “Next year, my goal is to make it to the provincials again and, hopefully, a podium finish,” she said. You have to be tough to be a successful figure skater says Conley. “The best thing for a coach is to have parents who listen, take your advice and act on it,” she said. “When you have parents that don’t, the kids will not succeed or progress.” Off the ice, Madeline keeps active through ballet lessons, working out with the off-season track and field program at ENSS and competing in badminton and lacrosse. Next up for Patenall is the Eastern Ontario section competition – Winter Skate – February 1 and 2 at Oshawa.

League season. The Brighton squad parlayed goals from Lucas Wakimoto and Mark Couperus, plus outstanding goalkeeping by Kyle Joy into a 2-1 victory over Hellenics in recent Division I action at the Loyalist College dome, the site of all indoor games. In order, Bellevegas, Fury and Hellenics round out the top four in the division. The Orange are the defending champs but it has been tough going this season says Brighton team manager Merv Heffernan. The league opted for two divisions to start the season instead of dividing at

the halfway mark. “There are no easy games this season,” he said. “Every team in division one is capable of a victory on any night.” Bowling – Presqu’ile Lanes Youth Bowling January 4 Bowlasaurus: Dayna Faragher 77; Anna Hough 45.
