“So they are getting down pen on paper what they are looking for. We’ll get together and we’ll share this person so that would be some cost savings,” Raine noted. “As we get more into that this individual will be very helpful on this issue,” she said.

The provincial government, on one of its websites, <https://www.ontario. ca/page/doctor-assisted-dying-andend-life-decisions-consultation> is currently asking for feedback which “will be used to inform the government’s approach to the sensitive and complex topic of end-of-life decisions and will help ensure that any future laws or policies meet the needs of people, respect personal wishes and support death with dignity.”

This is all happening because in February 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the federal law prohibiting physician-assisted dying (also known as assisted suicide).

As stated on the government website: “The ruling applies to a competent adult who: clearly consents to the termination of life; and has a grievous and irremediable medical condition (including an illness, disease or disability) that causes enduring suffering that is intolerable to the individual in the circumstances of his or her condition.”

The court gave governments one year to consider the development of new laws and practices for physicianassisted dying. Ontario together with 10 other provinces and territories established an advisory group of patient, health care, ethics and legal experts to examine physician-assisted dying.

After speaking to organizations and experts from around the country, the advisory group has released its final report and recommendations (PDF).

There is still time to participate and the province has set up two ways to do this, either by phoning 1-844-4385539 or attending an in-person consultation.

To date the consultations have been held in Sudbury, Ottawa and Toronto. The next closest consultation will be in Kingston on Jan. 18 at the Holiday Inn Kingston Waterfront, 2 Princess St. The final one is scheduled for Jan. 21 in Windsor.

People can also complete an online survey and have until Jan. 22 to do this.

OPINION

Refugees, Sexual Harassment So what ever happened and Angela Merkel to Happy New Year?

Chancellor Angela Merkel opened Germany’s doors to a million refugees and migrants last year – three times as many as the rest of the European Union put together.

Critics in Germany predicted a popular backlash, and warned that even her own Democratic Gwynne Dyer Christian Party (CDU) would turn against her.

In the case of the CDU, at least, they were dead wrong. At the party’s annual congress on December 15, Merkel’s speech – in which she did not retreat one inch from her frequent assertion that “we can do it” (accept and integrate the refugees) – got a 10-minute standing ovation that brought tears to her eyes.

Despite a dip in the opinion polls, she also still enjoys widespread popular support – or at least she did until the ugly events in the city of Cologne on New Year’s Eve. In the crowds that gathered in front of Cologne’s railway station to celebrate the New Year, hundreds of young men in gangs began harassing and robbing German women. “All of a sudden these men around us began groping us,” one victim told German television.

“They touched our behinds and grabbed between our legs. They touched us everywhere, so my girlfriend wanted to get out of the crowd. When I turned around one guy grabbed my bag and ripped it off my body.”

There were 379 complaints to the police, 40 percent of which involved sexual assault, and two accusations of rape.

Only thirty-one men were arrested in connection with these offences, a police failure that caused popular outrage. But the incendiary fact – which the police at first declined to reveal – was that 18 of the 31 men arrested were asylum-seekers, and all but five were Muslims. So there was a firestorm of popular protest about the Cologne attacks (which also happened on a smaller scale in Stuttgart and Hamburg).

The German authorities did their best to contain the damage. The Cologne police chief, Wolfgang Albers, was suspended for holding back information about the attacks, and in particular about the origin of the suspects.

But what on earth made those young Mus-

lim men, the beneficiaries of Germany’s generosity, think they could sexually attack young German women in public (and rob them while they were doing it)?

They were not professional thieves, and I very much doubt that they would sexually attack young Muslim women in public if they were back home. I suspect that they were mostly village boys who still believe the popular Middle Eastern stereotypes about good Muslim girls whom you must not harass, and “loose” Western women who are fair game for sexual assault.

I once lived in Istanbul for a while with my wife and two little boys, and we had the same experience as most other Westerners: when my wife was out with me or with the children, she was treated with respect. When she was out alone, she was the target of constant sexual harassment.

At least once a day, as young men passed her in the crowded streets, she would suddenly experience the full frontal grab – and if she protested, they would simply laugh at her. So I taught her what a Turkish woman would say if the same thing happened, and it did help. She still got molested, but when she rebuked the attackers in Turkish they were overwhelmed with shame and panic, and disappeared into the crowd as fast as possible.

This was back when Istanbul only had three million people (it now has 14 million), but already my Turkish friends were moaning about how their city was being “villager-ised” by people migrating from the countryside. Even Turkish women who looked too “Western” were being harassed, and they blamed the exvillagers.

When you take in a million refugees, more than half of them from the Middle East, you may expect them to include a few religious fanatics who may be or become terrorists. They will also include a considerably larger number of ignorant hicks who think that it is not a crime or a disgrace to attack non-Muslim girls sexually.

No good deed goes entirely unpunished, and this is part of the price Germany will pay for its generosity. It’s not an unbearable price, even if it involves one or two more Islamist terrorist attacks than would otherwise have occurred – and in a couple of years most of the young Muslim men who attacked women in Cologne will have figured out that being free, as German women are, does not mean being immoral or freely available.

Editorial - By Chris Malette

One would be forgiven for crawling back under the covers and asking for a restart to what we all wished each other to be a “happy new year.”

Some happy.

Considering the latest economic outlook by experts for 2016 is somewhere between - and pardon us for using technical, economist jargon here - the pits and complete crapola and that the Loonie is lurching toward par with the Mexican peso, we could all be forgiven for quickly abandoning any new year’s resolution of staying off the sauce for a month.

Make it a double, you might ask your barkeep, when you read the most recent headlines.

Let’s browse the following news items in just the last week.

• A man was taken to Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital burn-unit with severe burns to his hands and face while a female sustained similar burns and is receiving treatment at Trenton Memorial Hospital after an explosion at 24 Annwood Court in Trenton Sunday Jan. 10.

What is most troubling to neighbours, however, are reports there may have been drug manufacturing paraphernalia involved in the explosion. Sources said butane tanks and some suspected drug-making material were found inside the burned rental unit, which exploded in flames at about 2:30 p.m. last Sunday.

Police have not released the names of the injured pair.

• A quiet east end Belleville neighbourhood was in lockdown over the weekend after a man was repeatedly shot by another man in a home on O’Neill Drive.

City police issued a statement Saturday saying a manhunt is underway for a suspect they say shot another man several times Friday night in the upscale neighbourhood off Old Highway 2, east of Haig Road.

One man is in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, despite being shot several times.

“This is an active, fluid investigation at this time, however police believe this was an isolated incident and there is no danger to the community,” said Staff Sgt. Al Portt.

The incident happened shortly after 8 p.m.

at a home on O’Neill Drive at Penny Lane, police said.

Police said officers were called by someone in the home and arrived to find a man had suffered multiple gunshot wounds. The man was a resident of the home, police said, and was released from hospital mid-week, but his assailant – some reports saying may be biker gang related – is still at large.

• Almost a dozen puppies had either died or were euthanized following an outbreak of the deadly parvovirus at Quinte Humane Society.

Executive director Frank Rockett confirmed 11 dogs have either died or have been euthanized since Dec. 24. Eight were young puppies in the society’s direct care and three adopted dogs have died in care of various veterinarians in the area.

• Last Friday morning, police, ambulance and fire crews were called to a pair of near simultaneous collisions involving vehicles in the Rossmore area. Both require extrication of occupants of the vehicles and the overwhelmed County fire crews were forced to call in Belleville fire department first responders to aid in the crashes.

The remnants of the most spectacular of the two wrecks remained on scene for much of the day Friday as police tape surrounded the mangled wreck of a modified import car that had clearly rolled and tumbled end-overend into the parking lot in front of Gilmour Meats. The drivers of both vehicles are undergoing treatment for their injuries, but will live, say police. Charges have not yet been announced.

So, kind reader, how is one expected to greet a new year with so much happening on the wrong side of the happy dial?

It’s quite simple, really. We, as Canadians, while more reserved and inward-thinking than our American cousins can take solace in a number of things going forward. First, we’re not subjected to the constant fear of gun violence that plagues our neighbours to the south and, second, we’re not subjected to the buffoonery that is the American electoral process (see Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, etc.)

And, lastly, well, we’re not American!

There. Now, don’t you feel better about 2016?

Of course you do. Carry on.

Flu season officially begun, but not too late to get vaccinated Northumberland County – The flu season has officially begun with the first lab-confirmed case of influenza in the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit region being reported last week.

“The finding is no surprise, as we typically see influenza activity increase at this time of year,” Mari-

anne Rock, the health unit’s manager of communicable disease control, epidemiology and evaluation, said in a media release.

“Now that the flu is circulating in our area, we encourage local residents to take precautions and protect themselves and their loved ones from becoming sick.”

The confirmed case was in the City of Kawartha

Lakes. The health unit also serves Northumberland and Haliburton counties.

The “best way” to ward off getting sick from the virus is to get the flu shot every year.

The health unit’s community clinics ended in November but residents can still get a free flu shot, either through their local health care provider, for those six months of age and older, or at a pharmacy, for anyone five years of age and older.

A full list of local pharmacies offering flu shots can be viewed at <www.hkpr.on.ca>.

Fewer than a thousand people across the region were immunized at the community clinics, numbers that were “very similar” to the previous year, Rock said in an interview.

basis also help keep the body’s immune system strong, Rock noted in the release.

The influenza virus spreads mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing.

People can become infected by touching objects or surfaces that have flu viruses on them and then touching their eyes, mouth or nose.

Flu symptoms include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, headache, muscle aches and extreme weakness and fatigue.

While a flu shot might not prevent the onset of illness, “you’re probably going to be less sick,” Rock said.

The flu season typically begins in the fall and can last to May. “It’s a little bit too early to say for sure how severe the

season is going to be,” Rock said. “I really have no idea at this point.”

According to Public Health Ontario, there were 188 cases of influenza reported across the province from Sept. 1 to Dec. 19, 2015.

“In a given year, the Ontario Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care estimates seasonal influenza can result in up to 1,000 hospitalizations, 200,000 visits to doctors’ offices, and up to 300 deaths in the province,” the health unit stated.

People who do succumb to influenza, it’s usually as a result of complications the virus has caused their immune system that is already weakened, leaving it susceptible to pneumonia, for example, Rock said.

She was unable to say how many got their shots at drugstores.

“It’s been a very good way for people to access the flu shots through the pharmacists,” she said.

Vaccines differ from year to year according to the flu strain that’s expected to circulate.

“Right now we’re hearing that it is a relatively good match this year,” Rock said.

Eldorado - The first council meeting of the new year was business as usual for Madoc Township on Jan. 6. There was no correspondence from Centre Hastings on their decision to litigate over financial management of the Madoc arena.

Clerk Bill Lebow said the only information they have received is through the local media.

Difficulties over managing the arena have not gone unnoticed though. Karen Bailey appeared before council, representing the Bruce Lee House League, a minor hockey league she and her

MUNICIPALITY OF TWEED FIRE DEPARTMENT VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS

husband Harold have been involved with since its establishment.

She noted the league has 32 members from Madoc Township and 27 from Centre Hastings, with more recently added.

Bailey said she was “disappointed” the two municipalities could not resolve their differences in mutual management of the arena. She and her husband, she said, have been involved in minor hockey in the area for more than 35 years, and hope the dispute between the municipalities “will not result in closing the arena.”

She said she disagreed with dissolving the arena board,

and noted she and her husband would have gladly served on that board but were never asked.

She also asked council if they had been to the arena lately, noting it is being well managed, though in need of some investment to continue including a new salt shed and loader, a water softener and a few other things.

Council could not add any new information to the status of their role in the arena at this time. Bailey invited council to visit the arena on a Thursday or Friday to watch the Bruce Lee league at play.

Councillor Randy Rowe expressed concern over an increasing amount of rubbish collecting

on the property of the former Eldorado Cheese factory and asked if the by-law enforcement officer would investigate the matter.

Residents who have had their mail box damaged by a snow plow are invited to notify the township. An advertisement will be placed in the local paper with details.

The roads department will be looking at “Cattle Crossing” signs throughout the region to determine if they are still applicable. Those in areas where they are no longer needed will be removed, and those which have deteriorated will be replaced only where activity is ongoing.

Stirling—Many people know of someone who has had suicidal thoughts. Sadly, too many people end up following through, leaving family and friends wondering what they could have done differently to change the outcome.

To gain some insight, the Stirling-Rawdon Police Service and the Stirling Public Library have combined with other local agencies and groups to hold a Suicide Prevention Information Session on Wednesday, January 20.

The event runs from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. and will be held in the upper hall at the Stirling Festival Theatre in downtown Stirling.

Police Chief Dario Cecchin said there are

what is planned to achieve them, along with a quality assurance review of crime prevention, patrols and investigation.

“That’s going to be a new activity for us,” Chief Cecchin said.

He said community satisfaction and a commitment to dealing with local concerns are

on the list, and a newly developed web page will help keep the community informed. The police will continue to take part in a variety of community events such as Police Week and Adopt-A-Child and will continue working with local schools, youth-oriented programs and victim services.

people in the community who have known those who have taken their own lives, and some had suggested that a workshop of this nature would be beneficial.

“It promises to be a very informative presentation,” Chief Cecchin said.

Guest speakers will include SEP-Somatic Trauma Specialist Laurene Winkler, of Cobourg, who specializes in helping people recover from trauma, loss and physical and emotional pain, PTSD and other problems, and Tammy Orr, a mental health counsellor with Addictions and Mental Health Services of Hastings and Prince Edward Counties.

The third speaker will be Madoc resident and former NHL player Shawn Antoski,

whose professional hockey career came to a sudden end as the result of a serious car accident in late 1997 that left him with a compressed skull fracture. While he recovered from the injury, he was not able to return to a career in hockey.

Antoski currently heads a Madoc-area based group, Fear Nothing, that encourages youth to engage and speak about mental health issues.

“Some of our officers will be there as well,” said Chief Cecchin, noting that police officers often come into contact with people in distress during the course of their job.

There is no charge to attend the seminar and everyone is welcome.

Stirling—An increased commitment to local policing and an improvement in road safety are just two of the many items contained in the Stirling-Rawdon Police Department’s latest business plan.

Police Chief Dario Cecchin presented the draft plan for 2016-19 to the Police Services Board meeting on Monday, Jan. 11. While many of the items contained in the plan are mandated under the Police Services Act, others are being developed to meet local community needs. Some of the items are the result of a police survey done earlier this year to find out how people rate the police department in a variety of subjects, how safe they feel, what things need to be addressed and so on. The business plan was created after consultation with many different local entities, among them Stirling-Rawdon Council, the local fire department, victim services and many more.

The draft plan also includes an outline of how the police service is organized and spells out specific responsibilities of each department.

There is also a list of objectives along with

Asked if she learned anything new or helpful, Job replies that she had not known the Ahmadiyya sect believes in a Messiah. “Ahmadiyya is from Pakistan and they are such a minority [within Islam] I’m not sure the family that’s coming would even know of them.” Nonetheless she felt the information session was useful. “People were reasonably satisfied afterwards.”

Beyond personal interest, the Tweed committee members were informing themselves about the spiritual background of the Syrian family they hope to soon bring to Tweed. Barbara Goode is chair of the communications committee for the Tweed group and reports that they will be holding a public information open house in Tweed at the Agricultural Building (“the white building”) on Thursday, February 4 at 7 p.m. where they will bring the public up-to-date on their project. Work is divided into a number of sub-committees, says Goode, such as fundraising, education, health care, and employment.

“There is a committee working diligently to bring a young Syrian family to Tweed,” says Goode. “One of the most challenging issues we face is finding affordable and appropriate housing in Tweed. We have two people who are excellent with social media and there must be a huge number of volunteers.”

People are offering furniture and clothing Goode notes, but precise needs will not be known until accommodations are found.

“We’re going to bring a small family,” she adds contrasting this with very large families which have been “adopted” in Prince Edward County and elsewhere.

Council fears ‘loss of rural identity’ in health unit name change Havelock – Fearing further erosion of “rural identity,” HavelockBelmont-Methuen Council is strongly against any move by the public health board to drop the word “County” from a new name they might adopt.

A Peterborough County-City Health Unit steering committee is exploring a potential name change and will recommend “Peterborough Public Health” to the board of health as part of a re-branding initiative.

“It is the name that rose to the top,” Medical Officer of Health Dr. Rosana Salvaterra told council during their final meeting of 2015.

Council requested the PCCHU visit to explain why they were exploring a name change.

The legal name Peterborough County-City Health Unit will not change, Dr. Salvaterra stressed, but they’re looking at a rebranding of their “operational name” to better emphasize their role as a public

health agency.

Surveys, a focus group and interviews with First Nation stakeholders have been held and Dr. Salvaterra says 53 per cent of respondents agreed to a name change with 43 per cent favouring Peterborough Public Health. Respondents from both Hiawatha and Curve Lake First Nations favour Shining Waters Public Health. The Peterborough Health Unit ranked second overall.

Dr. Salvaterra said the public engagement process was “robust.”

Eighty per cent of respondents were from the community and had no affiliation with the PCCHU – 66 per cent from the city, 25 per cent from the county.

“The branding of local public health agencies is not something new.”

“Public confusion” over the current name, the need to underscore the role of public health and the organization’s move to a new building are key reasons for the initiative, she says.

“We get a lot of feedback that the name is difficult. Often the public doesn’t know who we are (and) there is nowhere in our name that says public health. We’re trying to bring greater awareness to what public health is.”

The board has budgeted $16,000 over two years for re-branding due to the office move so the “timing is right,” she says.

“This is not a costly exercise for the board.”

The committee’s recommendation will go to the board in January; if it’s approved it will be unveiled in the spring to coincide with an open house at their new headquarters.

“I think there is a serious need for advocacy for public health so having this discussion is good,” added board member John Fallis. “Anything that raises the focus on the health unit and board is important.”

HBM council is urging County Council to debate the issue and supports the name Peterborough County-City Public Health. They

favour using the phrase public health and highlighting stakeholders in a logo but decry any loss of rural identity.

“The county is a huge stakeholder in this,” said Mayor Ron Gerow. “I think this is a very important issue for our region. We’re struggling in rural Ontario in keeping our identity. I feel very strongly about the Medical Officer of Health Dr. Rosana Salvaterra spoke to Havelock-Belmontrural component.”

“Once you drop the county, peo- Methuen councillors about a possible name change for the Peterborough ple are going to think they’re going County-City Health Unit. to focus more on the city,” added Councillor Hart Webb.

“I feel that the county name should be in there,” said DeputyMayor Jim Martin.

modern architecture – and for an ‘up close and personal’ view of Quito’s renowned Winged Virgin Statue, perched on this very hill (the Virgin Mary is standing on a globe and stepping on a snake and has been given wings to escape the snake/devil).

Other worthwhile points of interest to check out in Quito include the Casa del Alabado Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, Itchimbia Cultural Complex and Park, and Parque Metropolitano (the city’s largest urban park).

Nearby, you’ll find the Maquipucuna Cloud Forest Reserve, Cotopaxi Volcano National Park, Pululahua Geobotanical Reserve, and the Mitad del Mundo (Middle of the World) complex. Since Quito is the closest capital city to the Equator, it’s a very short drive to the middle of our planet, and I plan to write an entire future article about my visit to this intriguing destination.

ment towers over Independence Square, with a Statue of Liberty at its top. Near its base, a wounded lion with a pierced side is clearly seen, symbolizing a wounded Spain after the independence.

Independence Square, also known as Plaza Grande, is in the very heart of the city, and this is a great place from which to begin a city tour and to view the diversity of people that inhabit this beautiful city. It’s also the centre of Colonial Quito, and it’s here that you’ll find such important historic structures as the Municipal Palace, the Presidential Palace, the Archbishop Palace, and the Cathedral of Quito.

Our tour also took us to the Jesuit Temple of La Compania de Jesus, a magnificent baroque church with 60 kilos of gold leaf in its eye-popping interior (but photos weren’t allowed!) and to the Basilica of the National Vow, a mammoth neo-Gothic Basilica with exterior gargoyles in the shape of native Ecuadorian animals, including giant tortoises and iguanas. We also visited Quito’s San Francisco Convent and Museum, the largest architectural ensemble among the historical structures of colonial Latin America; its convent is still in use today, and a very large religious parade begins from here on Good Friday each year – and ends at the Basilica.

Quito was officially founded on Dec. 6, 1534 by Spain’s Sebastian de Benalcazar, and “Founders Day” is still celebrated on Dec. 6 each year. There’s a statue of the founder located in Old Town.

Back in the 16th century, the city was known as San Francisco de Quito, and this destination does remind me somewhat of California’s San Francisco, for there are many steep hills. After exploring Quito’s historic centre, we ascended some of these steep, narrow, roadways to the top of Panecillo Hill – for a spectacular view, overlooking the city’s intriguing mixture of colonial and

the designated national capital, then Quito becomes the highest altitude national capital. Whatever, it’s safe to say that Quito, a city of about 3 million, is up there and, therefore, this destination can pose a bit of a challenge for tourists who aren’t used to the high altitude and thin air. Breathing difficulties can occur. Therefore, it’s best not to exert yourself upon arrival. Take it easy.

After a late night arrival and some sleep, I began my tour of this capital city by taking a half day bus tour in the morning, and this was a great way to get my bearings, see the sights, and not over-exert myself physically. And I discovered that Quito had a lot to offer the visitor, especially in its Old Town, for it has one of the least altered and best preserved historic centres in the Americas, and it has been declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site.

This city tour was a part of my specific itinerary organized through Indus Travels (www. indus.travel/ecuador), and I was given a lot of information on this tour about the area’s preInca civilization era, the Spanish occupation, and its ultimate independence. After the tour, I concluded that the most significant stop of all was at Quito’s Independence Square.

The Spanish had taken control of the Quito area in the 16th century, but by the 19th century there was an independence movement from this Spanish domination. The initial movement was defeated on Aug. 2, 1810 when colonial troops killed the leaders of the uprising and about 200 others, but on May 24, 1822, a hard-fought victory marked the independence of Quito and the surrounding areas. A monument to these heroes of the Independence, which symbolizes the triumph of the Republic over the Spanish colony, now dominates this square, and it indicates, on the monument itself, that this “independence movement” actually began in 1809.

I also recommend, for the serious gardener, Teeming with Microbes: The Organic Gardenerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guide to the Soil Food Web. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn about the living inhabitants of the soil, how our current practices harm a very important part of the eco-system and what you can do to repair the injuries. It was co-written by Alaskans (yep, they do garden way up there) Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis. If those names seem familiar to you, there is a reason. They are the chaps who began Plant A Row Grow A Row. In Canada, the Canadian Composting Council is the resource centre for this initiative.

OPALSâ&#x201E;˘ is a biologically proven guide to aid planners in selecting plant material which will satisfy all of the parameters. I believe this to be an exceptionally useful tool which should be on the desk of every gardener and landscape designer.

Trent Hills Community Refugee Initiative half way to reaching its goal

By Sue Dickens Trent Hills – The Trent Hills Community Refugee Initiative is about half way in terms of reaching its fundraising goal of $30,000.

“We need 80 per cent of the $30,000 in before we can put an application in,” said David Pollack, who has been involved with the group, spearheading its beginnings.

“We’ve made a lot of progress,” he commented before explaining what is needed to make this decision become a reality.

Housing and clothing, the basic essentials are the first priorities.

“When you bring a refugee family over, the group sponsoring is responsible for supporting them for one year

... rent, hydro, food, clothing and so on,” said Pollack.

In terms of medical care, if the family is Syrian and comes to Ontario, they will receive health coverage. “We have a local doctor who has offered to treat the family, pre-OHIP,” he added.

There is a possibility the family may not be from Syria.

To help with their plans the Initiative reached out to Casa Maria Refugee Homes, a non-profit organization in Peterborough that supports and offers safe temporary shelter to refugees and refugee claimants.

“Their group holds the sponsorship agreement,” noted Pollack.

The initiative has several committees of volunteers who are working together to make this happen locally. “We

have a steering committee of seven people from throughout Trent Hills,” noted Pollack, who added, “We have an application committee responsible for submitting the application and managing that process with Casa Maria.” There is also a fundraising committee.

“The biggest committee that does the heavy lifting is the settlement committee so that means housing, schooling, ESL etc.,” said Pollack, a member of all three committees.

“We’ve had four or five people who have offered ESL help and we have local people who are Arabic speaking who have also offered,” he commented. “When the family arrives we will need even more help, someone to drive them for shopping or to a

mosque, Peterborough or Cobourg.”

The search for accommodation is off to a good start with an offer to host.

“Someone has offered their home for the first three to six months,” said Pollack.

“What you want to do with the family is you want someplace for them to come to initially. Then you want to work with the family to help them find accommodation they want. That gives them ownership.”

When asked why he became involved Pollack said, “I look at it this way. I love my home here in Warkworth. What would it take for me to leave my home with little more than the clothing I am wearing? That’s a pretty hard and major decision.

Then I asked myself are they bet-

ter off in a refugee camp or in Trent Hills? The third part was, can I help the participants, lead them to have a better life in Canada than they currently have?”

The success of the committee depends solely on help from others.

Donations can be made online at the <Canadahelps.org> website or people can mail a cheque to St. Paul’s United Church, 60 Main St., Warkworth K0K 3K0 (payable to the church with Trent Hills Community Refugee Initiative noted). The organization is also on Facebook.

Donations of clothing or furniture etc. are welcome.

For more information contact Pollack at 705-924-1735 or Sonny Lennon at 705-924-1877.

Tweed-Hungerford Agricultural Society will hold the AGM on January 23rd @ 6pm

Hastings – Hastings residents are showing their resiliency and can-do spirit now that the Lock 18 swing bridge is closed until May. Geographically, Hastings might be split in half but it’s certainly not a divided community as people, groups, activities find ways to keep things as normal as possible in the face of a significant challenge.

“I think everybody’s coming together and that’s a really good thing,” said senior Alice Hall while snapping photos before using the special pedestrian walkway that’s been installed to take people around the site and across the lock.

“Some people might get angry but I feel good about it. It’s about time the bridge got (fixed),” said Hall, who praises the volunteer Hastings Helpers which has been proactive in making sure people with special needs north and south are assisted.

“They’ve been in operation for a while so they know what they’re doing and I believe they will help everybody. We’ll prevail.”

Hall’s happy Parks Canada responded to the demand for brighter lighting at the walkway and hopes the contractor is vigilant in making sure it’s well-maintained over the winter.

“People are making it work,” added Mary Jane Stevenson. “As long as the (walkway) is well-cleared and lit at night people aren’t going to have an issue with it.”

Stevenson, who works at the post office, was using the crossing and pulling a wagon.

“I’m using my wagon to try to keep my business in town if I can,” she said.

Stevenson feels the bridge closure is unifying the village with plenty of people on either side asking others if they need help with chores and shopping etc.

Hastings residents are showing off their can-do spirit now that the Lock 18 swing bridge is closed until May while the old bridge is removed and a new bridge is installed. More people appear to be out walking now that the most direct route between the north and south sides of the village is a special pedestrian walkway around the construction site. Photo by Bill Freeman

“People are making the best of it and hopefully we don’t have to do this for another 60 years.”

Hastings Helpers volunteer Shannon Lawrence was at the walkway to assist Hastings Public School students navigate the walkway if they needed it. By midweek many of those students had adapted nicely with younger students accompanied by older siblings, buddies or parents.

“We’re there to help,” Lawrence said.

What she wants people outside the village to know is that Hastings is open for business and that signs that say “through traffic only” are misleading.

“Right now we’re covering the bases in letting the rest of the world know that Hastings is still open.

“A lot of people are coming to those signs and leaving. We’re finding ways through social media to let people know that businesses are still operating,” she said.

Social media, especially Facebook, has

been a pivotal and powerful tool for the Hastings Helpers and other groups keeping people up to date with bridge-related news and connecting people to those who might help with specific requests.

In one instance, an elderly women simply needed “an elbow to hold onto” while using the walkway to meet a driver on the opposite side. The request was filled instantly.

“Without social media there’d be so much confusion,” Lawrence said. “I spend every night on the Hastings page responding to people. It’s a very valuable and helpful tool.”

Lawrence says summer visitors from as far away as Ohio are watching developments and the photo postings.

“They’d never get to see this happening if it wasn’t for social media.”

“It’s almost created more of a community,” added Sarah McKeown. “People are taking opportunities to talk to each other. It’s bringing us to

Hastings Stewardship Council begins winter speaker series

Ivanhoe - Hastings Stewardship Council begins their winter speaker series featuring professionals from five areas of interest with the first focusing on the latest in wood burning technology, alternative energy, solar photovoltaic sources and the MicroFit program.

January 14, Brad Leonard of Frendly Fires, an alternative energy distributor, addresses safe and clean burning techniques, inviting folks to bring a piece of wood from

their supply to be tested for moisture content, then on Jan. 28, folks will get an up close and personal experience with the predator birds of Falcon Environmental Services.

Jason Botting, senior wildlife officer and manager, of the falcon project said he will bring along both a Harris hawk and a GyrSaker falcon, specifically bred by the team for the purpose of wildlife control at airports.

The Trenton-based service manages wildlife control for major airports in both Canada and the United States and works with U.S. military air bases. The team often take the birds to public events to further understand-

ing of their use in airport safety, and importance to our ecosystem.

Two weeks later, Feb. 11, technicians from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry will address the benefits and threats to Canadian forests and offer insight into local and private forest management.

February 25, those interested in local archaeology will have a chance to delve deeper into the past with Tom Mohr, president of the Peterborough chapter of the Ontario Archaeological Society and March 10, Tim Johnson, also from OMNRF, will tackle the topic of fish and fisheries in the Bay of Quinte.

The presentations are held at the Huntingdon Veterans Hall in Ivanhoe starting at 7 p.m. The council asks for a five dollar fee or donation to help with expenses. Their mandate is to inform and educate residents to care for and appreciate the environment and wildlife around them.

Each speaker is available for discussion on local issues and concerns. Those who want to attend are invited to bring along their personal experiences to share with these speakers.

A move to Seasons means more time enjoying yourself and less time spent worrying.

Belleville - It could be another two to three weeks before quarantine measures are lifted at the Quinte Humane Society as staff continues to deal with a parvovirus outbreak at the Avonlough Road shelter.

Executive director Frank Rockett confirmed 11 dogs have either died or have been euthanized since Dec. 24. Eight were young puppies in the society’s direct care and three adopted dogs have died in care of various veterinarians in the area.

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

You might be asking yourself, “So how does my dentist come into play with obstructive sleep apnea?”

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

Rockett said of the 21 dogs in care at the shelyer, one has tested positive for parvo but is not symptomatic. He said of the symptomatic dogs, 16 were transferred to the Toronto Humane Society where veterinarians are available to treat the animals. Rockett said the society learned last Thursday there is another dog with the virus that is being treated at a local vet.

At the Avonlough Road shelter, Rockett said staff are carrying out a fastidious cleaning program and the shelter will have to count some time without any outbreaks before it can come off the quarantine. The cat section of the shelter is open to the public, however, as it is not affected by the outbreak.

Parvo is difficult to vaccinate against, said Rockett, as neither the shelter or owners can vaccinate puppies when they are still nursing, adding it takes two weeks for vaccine to kick in. “That’s the time frame when they are vulnerable and unfortunately none of the dogs were exhibiting symptoms to alert us during (the time they were in care at the shelter),” he said.

Good Baby Box now helping parents provide for children in Trenton

Trenton – Parents in Quinte West can now provide their children with staple items at a cost savings of about 50 per cent thanks to the Good Baby Box store.

“We know that if a family uses the program for the first year of their little one’s life, it is a savings to them of about $1200, so that’s why we encourage people to access it weekly,” said Bev Heuving, Good Baby Box Program Coordinator at the Community Development Council of Quinte.

The store is located at 85 Marmora St. Trenton and is open from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. every Monday.

The program has been around for 16 years in Hastings County and expanded to Picton two years ago. Currently, Heuving said the program supports 1,400 children and the need for the program continues to grow as

prices of staple items, like diapers, increase.

“People shouldn’t be struggling to provide staple items for their children,” Heuving said. “Anyone and everyone can benefit.”

The Good Baby box consists of three prices, depending on your child’s age. For an infant, the baby box is $6 and includes a 20 pack of diapers and one specialty item like wipes, shampoo, diaper cream, and more. For babies over six months, the price is $10 and includes a 20 pack of diapers, 6 small or 4 large jars of baby food and one choice of cereal, cookies or juice. For toddlers, the price is $6.50 and includes a 20 pack of diapers and one specialty item.

“They have the opportunity of accessing the program once a week and indicating to me what that need or require for that week when they come and see me, there’s no restrictions,” Heuving said.

No financial information is required to access the program; the Community Development Council of Quinte registers the child for their statistics.

Heuving said she would like to encourage everyone to utilize the program because everyone can benefit from saving money. The more people support the Good Baby Box, the more buying power the program has to implement more items for the program.

The program has been operating in Trenton for a few weeks and Heuving said the response has been good, but they would like it to be better.

“We want to promote and create awareness so we make sure people know that we are here for them to come and see us,” she said. “We’re here every Monday, take advantage.”

The program also helps stretch your baby food budget by offering infant formulas at a discounted rate.

Bev Heuving, Good Baby Box Program Coordinator at the Community Development Council of Quinte, holds a pack of diapers and infant formula, both included in the discounted items available at the Good Baby Box store. Baby supplies can be purchased with a cost savings of about 50 percent from the Good Baby Box store every Monday from 8:30 to 12:30 at 85 Marmora St. Trenton. Photo by Erin Stewart.

2017 Dudley-Hewitt cup coming to Trenton

By Erin Stewart

Trenton – It’s been less than a year since Wellington hosted the premier hockey championship for tier two junior hockey in central Canada, but the ‘Dudley’ is making a return trip to the Quinte region.

In a press conference Friday morning, it was announced the Trenton Golden Hawks and Quinte West will host the DudleyHewitt Cup Central Canadian Jr. A Championship in May 2017.

More than 60 people attended the press conference at the Trent Port Marina to hear that the Golden Hawks hockey club won its bid to host the regional championship. The Dudley-Hewitt Cup consists of the champions from the Ontario Junior Hockey League, Northern Ontario Junior League, Superior International Junior Circuit and will include the Hawks as the host team.

Marty Savoy, Commissioner of the Ontario Junior Hockey League, said the Trenton Golden Hawks have proven “year after year” that they are worthy and deserve to compete with an automatic spot in the regional championship “Year after year here in Trenton, it doesn’t matter what year you pick, I think as of today they’re number one ranked in the country right now, the Trenton Golden Hawks continue to be the class of the Ontario Junior Hockey League” Savoy said.

“To your staff, the way you guys put a heck of a team on the ice that will compete against the other champions, you may actually be the champions of the league and not the host when it comes down to this,” he said.

Savoy said the teams coming in for the Dudley are in for a treat because he knows they will be

treated with class and great hospitality from the Quinte West community. He said it was a very hard decision to choose between the bids from the Oakville Blades and Trenton Hawks, but Trenton had “something special.”

John McDonald, director of hockey operations, was thanked multiple times during the press conference for his dedication to the team and role in winning the bid for Trenton. He said he had three wishes to give the fans and organization something exciting; he wanted to host a showcase event, hold a world junior event and number three, he wanted to bid on the Dudley-Hewitt Cup and was proud to announce that they now have achieved all three goals.

McDonald also gave a special tribute to his late friend and councillor, Doug Whitney.

“The whole thing is kind of special to me because there was a guy, who was a councilman, and we lost him this year, but he said to me his one dream was he wanted to see the Golden Hawks go to the Dudley, well Dougy, you got it.”

Mayor Jim Harrison has been a big support in getting the Dudley-Hewitt Cup to come to Trenton. He even went to Toronto in a purple tie and a pink shirt with a Golden Hawks jersey on top to help Trenton win the bid, something Savoy said he doesn’t see often.

“I’m just proud of the organization, proud of how they operate, I’m proud of the players and how they handle themselves, how they’re respectful with their billets, the community,” Harrison said.

Harrison said the Dudley-Hewitt will be a big asset to Quinte West and a great way to demonstrate how fantastic the Golden Hawks’ organization is.

Members of the Trenton golden Hawks and staff are all smiles after the announcement that the Dudley-Hewitt Cup will come to Trenton in 2017 after the press conference at the Trenton port Marina on Friday Jan.

Sinners in church not uncommon, but these sinners sing

Quinte West - Once again the Old Church Theatre is demonstrating that top-notch entertainment comes to the Quinte area with the presentation of Toronto band “Sinner’s Choir.”

Each member of this trio has worked alongside a veritable ‘who’s who’ of Canadian music. They will appear for one night only this Saturday, January 16 by reservation only.

The Sinners Choir is a trio comprised of three generations of seasoned Toronto sidemen: bassist Terry Wilkins, drummer Adam Warner and guitarist Adam Beer-Colacino.

The Sinners Choir takes each player out of their sideman role and allows them to showcase themselves as singers and composers with a resonant 3 part harmony as an added bonus.

Terry Wilkins is a veteran of the Canadian music scene since arriving from Australia in 1971 and represents the 60 something demographic. He has been a member of bands ranging from Rough Trade to Lighthouse and David Wilcox as well as Big Sugar and has played with a string of visiting jazz and blues artists like Dr. John, John Hammond and Levon Helm among others.

Adam Warner has been in the trenches as a drummer supporting a myriad of Canadian musical aristocracy -- Steven Page, Randy Quinte west Mayor Jim Harrison, councillors and city staff give their thumbs-up after the announce- Bachmann, Sarah Slean and Chantal ment that the 2017 Dudley-Hewitt Cup will be coming to Trenton after the press conference at the Kreviatzuk to name a few. Adam has released three solo CDs under his own Trent Port Marina on Friday Jan 8.

Coming this Saturday to Old Church Theatre in Quinte West is “Sinner’s Choir.” Each member of this trio has worked alongside a veritable ‘who’s who’ of Canadian music. They will appear for one night only this Saturday, January 16 by reservation only. Shown here are: from left, Adam Warner, Adam Beer Colacino and Terry Wilkins. Submitted photo.

name entitled “Fall, No Place to Lay” and “Sawdust” and “Sour Apples.”

Adam represents the 40-something demographic The youngest member of the band representing the 20-something group is Adam Beer Colacino. Adam has been honing his craft mostly on the streets of Toronto working with such people as Devin Cuddy, Whitney Rose and members of Downchild Blues Band. His guitar playing is influenced by Pops Staples and Freddie King.

The age range in this band reflects the age range of their fans. This is not an everyday occurrence in the music business.

The band shows a deep understanding of the last hundred years of Roots/Americana and presents itself with both a simultaneously gritty and sweet approach.

Seats are $20 and can be purchased directly at: http://oldchurchtheatre.ca/the-sinners-choir/ or by phone (613) 8481411.

HBM watches North Kawartha as it reviews inwater buildings, structures Havelock – It might seem dry and dull to some but it’s a big deal in cottage country so Havelock-BelmontMethuen council is watching closely as northern neighbour North Kawartha looks at proposed amendments to its comprehensive zoning bylaw to regulate in-water buildings and structures.

North Kawartha is holding two public meetings Jan. 26 on the issue which includes a 35 page report by the municipality’s planners providing recommendations and local background as well as information on how at least 15 different municipalities address the sometimes contentious issue.

North Kawartha’s comprehensive zoning bylaw currently lacks “specific use permissions and regulations” for in-water buildings and structures such as docks, boathouses and marine facilities.

“The purpose of the proposed amendment is to establish permissible in-water structures as well as regulations for such structures,” a North Kawartha planning department notice states.

The proposed amendment would apply to all lakes and lake beds in the township; the municipality notes that the Trent Severn Waterway and the Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park has authority over some lakes in the township.

Jack Lake south of Apsley straddles HBM and North Kawartha which

Belleville

makes the in-water structures issue a relevant and important one for HBM council.

“If things are not the same on one side of the lake as the other it’s going to be very difficult,” Mayor Ron Gerow noted.

“I’ve been to a few of their public meetings and it will be nice to hear what people are thinking,” said Deputy-Mayor Jim Martin. “It will be interesting to hear what comments come out of this meeting.”

“If we are going to do anything we will probably have to have our own meeting with our ratepayers,” said Martin. “There’s a lot of different thoughts in this end of the township versus the north of the township in my opinion.”

The township needs to be following what North Kawartha is doing, Mayor Gerow agreed.

“The big part of it is the docks,” says Martin. “It will be an interesting meeting.”

Council has asked staff for a report on the issue with additional information from the municipality’s solicitor.

“We don’t want to be caught in March, April or May,” said Gerow.

In 2011, the Jack’s Lake Association and the Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Lake Association raised concerns with council about a 2,395 square foot boathouse that was being constructed on Jack’s Lake without the need, at that time, for any level of government approval, municipal or otherwise, nor public consultation.

Good news story in terms of ER numbers during the holiday season RN,” she noted, adding to do this “We staffed up and we had on-calls.”

“So that’s always challenging but I think the staff appreciate that kind of proactive thinking so there is no last minute scrambling trying to find somebody,” Raine said. “An average day for emerge (ER) is 60 patients.”

The ER at CMH is open 24/7.

three inpatients were treated in the ER. “Last year during the same timeframe we had a total of 22 patients held overnight in the ER,” she said.

The hospital is a 34-bed facility that sees up to 22,000 patients annually in the ER and serves approximately 30,000 Northumberland, Peterborough and Hastings County residents, as well as a large seasonal population.

“We can flex up to 37 beds so if you note that we did, on Dec. 26, have 37 patients in the ER,” said Raine.

“The one thing of note I’ve noticed over the 14-day period (Dec. 18, 2015 to Jan. 3, 2016) we had 30 transfers out, so that meant some went to Peterborough, some went to Ottawa and some to Kingston and 60 per cent of those transfers required an

Campbellford – Adding to their baseline staffing, the emergency department (ER) at Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) was able to cope with what turned out to be a better than normal holiday season in 2015 in terms of patient intake.

Chief Nursing Officer Jan Raine provided this update to the hospital board at a recent meeting explaining just what the Christmas season was like in terms of patient intake and the need for staffing with what was generally a good news story.

There was one exception however and that was the day after Christmas saw a higher than normal number of people seeking treatment in the ER. “Those of you who have sat on the board

for some time know that Christmas is usually our worst time. It’s usually combined with flu season,” she told the board.

Noting that the hospital has not had any flu cases reported yet, she explained that is one of the reasons the number of patients in ER during the holidays was not as high as in the past.

“The flu seems to be coming later and later. Last year I think it was mid or late January,” she noted. The statistics tell her story.

On Dec. 23, a total of 51 patients were seen in the ER, on Dec. 24 that number rose to 40 “and as usual you see people go home for Christmas,” then on Dec. 26 there was a surge in the numbers as 72 people were seen in the ER that day.

In terms of the number of inpatients there were 28 on Dec. 23 and 37 on Dec. 26 plus

Campbellford hospital’s CEO has a vision for its future here

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Although he has just completed his fundraising running marathon, Brad Hilker, president and CEO of Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) is not slowing down as he now takes on the new challenges for staff and physicians as they head into 2016.

The year-long “Hilker Hustle” saw him run 1930 km (930 km beyond his goal) and put $3,020 towards the purchase of priority medical equipment.

“I think it’s going to be an exciting year. There’s lots of change happening. We want to be focused on our patients and their families,” he said with enthusiasm.

Running through (pun intended) a list of past successes with a clear vision of the future, Hilker talked about the ongoing need to change with the times.

“Increased complexity and acuity of patients is putting pressure on resources at the hospital,” he noted.

To handle the increased pressure, due in part to an aging boomer population, the hospital will continue to bring in specialists for consultation at the hospital here.

As well as bringing in specialists to clinics at the hospital, something that will continue, there will now be two patient care advisors.

“We’re starting to work with patient advocates. It is going to be good to get their perspective,” noted Hilker.

As well the hospital will continue to make progress setting up electronic health records.

“In our case now when a patient is in the hospital there’s a lot of documentation by nurses etc. done on paper,” Hilker noted.

He expects it will take two or three years to complete the project but when it is done physicians and caregivers will have the information they need electronically.

“It’s about time we got to that stage and the ministry is trying

to come out with recommendations and direction to take in this area,” Hilker said.

None of this can be done without the financial resources and fundraising by the Foundation and Auxiliary for much needed hospital equipment.

“We’re expanding our ultrasound services which are currently five days a week. We’d like to operate seven days a week to help address some of the wait time and improve accessibility to our emergency department,” he noted.

“The biggest challenge will be to recruit more staff.”

All of this is happening against a backdrop of working on the hospital’s master plan which will spell out the details of a new hospital.

“We are working with the Ministry of Health and Central East LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) to support that project,” Hilker said.

“It’s a huge project and will take many years to do ... meanwhile the building keeps get-

Quinte and District Local of Ontario Maple Syrup Producers

ting older and older,” he noted.

The new hospital “will be bigger with more beds and capacity to meet current standards.”

Hilker knows it’s a difficult and long process because he was vice-president and chief financial officer during the building of the Peterborough Regional Health Centre.

“One of the key things when you get into later stages is to involve staff

and patients in the design to make sure everything is accessible and flows well and patients get the best use of the facility,” he said.

Three years after being appointed, Hilker leads the hospital’s “pursuit of excellence” as demonstrated by the introduction of volunteers in the ER, improvements in infection control, addition of a VON-run adult day program, development of long-range infrastructure plans and more.

Successfully completing his fundraising running marathon President and CEO Brad Hilker is taking that same enthusiasm with him into 2016 as Campbellford Memorial Hospital faces new challenges and a long-term strategy for health care here. Photo by Sue Dickens

Ms. Canadiana launches new concert series

By Jack Evans Wearing her love of Canada on her sleeve, Prince Edward County songstress Jeanette Arsenault penned the popular patriotic song, “This Is My Canada.” That song swept the nation in 1991 at a time when a plebiscite in Quebec threatened to unravel the Canadian confederacy. In her own words, she wrote it with “tears in my eyes.” She performed it on Parliament Hill on Canada Day that year and it remains a popular song from coast to coast, adopted as the official song for a Royal Canadian Navy ship, and

by Kinsmen and Kinette Club of Canada. It is also part of the basic repertoire of the Quinte Chapter, Barbershop Harmony Society.

Ms. Arsenault even sang it for Queen Elizazbeth on one occasion.

Her patriotic fervor is now going one step further with a series of concerts by local, Canadian musicians at Eastminster United Church in the month ahead.

She’s calling it: “This Is My Canada Presents,” and she hopes to take the concept on a coast to coast tour in the long run, using local musicians and Canadian content in various communities. This pilot series opens Jan. 27 with Marie-Lynn Hammond, followed by Andy Forgie on April 27, The Starpainters on June 22 and Tom Leighton and Conrad Kipping for the final concert, Sept. 28. Time for each concert is 7 p.m.

Tickets at $15 per performance are now available at Eastminster Church, telephone (613) 9695212 or email Peter Kerr: admin@eastminsterunited.ca.

Yoga not just for youngsters readings of 140 and above over 90 and above. Studies have shown that yoga can reduce the top number, which is referred to as the systolic blood pressure. In a study published in the Journal of Clinical Hypertension, researchers found that men and women who practiced yoga for six hours a week for 11 weeks reduced their systolic blood pressure by 33 points.

The study’s authors feel that the slow, controlled breathing that’s essential to practicing yoga decreases nervous system activity, helping the body manage its blood pressure levels.

• Yoga helps practitioners maintain healthy weights.

While yoga may not help men and women shed weight as effectively as more vigorous activities, it can help them maintain healthy weights. Many men and women over 50 find vigorous or strenuous physical activity too demanding, and might not be able to perform such activities with the frequency necessary to prevent weight gain. But while yoga is physically demanding, those who practice yoga often find it takes a smaller toll on their bodies than more traditional strength training. An-

other way yoga can help to maintain a healthy weight is through its relation to stress.

Yoga can help to relieve stress, and lower stress levels reduce the likelihood that men and women will overeat, which is a common response to elevated stress levels.

• Yoga promotes strong bones. Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which tissue loss leads to brittle and fragile bones. Aging is a significant risk factor for osteoporosis, and women are at even greater risk than men. Women can lose up to 20 percent of their bone mass in the five to seven years after menopause, so it’s important that women (and men) take steps to strengthen their bones. The nature of yoga makes it an ideal activity to promote healthy bones. Because it is a weight-bearing exercise, yoga forces practitioners to hold the weight of their bodies up against gravity. This resistance to gravity puts mild stress on the bones, which respond by laying down new bone growth. But unlike other weight-bearing activities, such as jogging or walking, yoga does not damage cartilage or put stress on the joints. The AARP notes that studies have indicated

were in their 20s and 30s, that does not mean such men and women cannot take advantage of the numerous physical and mental benefits yoga has to offer.

R0012080363

Yoga is big business, attracting more and more people each year. Designed to promote physical and mental health, yoga has helped millions of people across the globe control their stress and improve their flexibility, and studies have shown that yoga is only growing in popularity.

While some men and women over 50 may feel their time to take up yoga has passed, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, yoga can pay numerous dividends for the over 50 crowd.

• Yoga can help alleviate hypertension. Also known as high blood pressure, hypertension is a potentially dangerous condition that makes the heart work harder to pump blood to the body.

Hypertension contributes to a hardening of the arteries known as atherosclerosis, and can even contribute to the development of heart failure. A person’s risk of developing hypertension increases as he or she ages, so it’s important that men and women over 50 take steps to reduce their risk of hypertension, and yoga can help them do just that. A normal blood pressure is 120 over 80, but people with hypertension often have blood pressure

Legion Branch 300 ‘very excited’ about 2016

By Bill Freeman

Norwood – The New Year’s Day Levee at the Norwood Legion was one of the largest turnouts in recent years and that bodes well for Branch 300, new president, Karen Coats says.

“We’re very excited about the next 12 months; we’re definitely on the right track and it’s showing,” Coats said during a pause from levee greetings.

“We’re working very hard on the building restoration fund which is moving,” Coats said, referring to the branch’s ambitious long-range restoration plan which includes new furnaces, a proposed elevator and other infrastructure upgrades.

A Trillium Foundation grant application is working its way through the vetting stages.

“There’s been a lot of healing in the branch; a lot of healing in the Norwood Legion Branch 300 President Karen Coats greets Asphodel-Norwood Mayor Terry Low dur- community,” she says. “We’re in a ing the traditional New Year’s Day levee hosted by the Royal Canadian Legion. Photo by Bill Freeman much better financial position than

we have been in the last three years.”

“The support we’ve got from the community has been phenomenal and it’s only getting stronger. We don’t feel like we’re spinning our wheels and not getting anywhere.

We’re starting to see the results and starting to feel it in the community.”

Coats says branch events are better attended and they’ve been pleasantly surprised by random donations.

“We’ve been able to help members of the community that have faced some challenge. It’s awesome to be in a financial position to do that more effectively,” she said. “It’s a very happy time around here.”

The building campaign is an admittedly long-range process but Coats says it’s been “going very well.

“There have been a lot less hiccups than there once was.”

She describes her executive as “exemplary of what an executive should be doing for their branch.

“Our members are seeing that and wanting to become more involved.”

The executive, she says, are all “excellent examples of what it means to be involved in your Legion and giving back to veterans and the community.”

“It’s very important to all of us that the image of the Legion as being a watering hole change. That’s not what we’re here for. Our primary goal is to give back to our veterans and then to the rest of the community.”

Coats is also buoyed by the number of new members who’ve joined Branch 300.

“They realize what the organization means and they want to join.

It’s building just as we hoped it would happen six months ago.”

As is branch tradition, they presented $500 cheques to five local churches.

“It’s fantastic to be able to do that and not panic at the fact that we’re going to do it,” said Coats.

‘It’s a very big honour’ says Havelock Legionnaire of Year

things to get this place up and running again like it used to be. It is a big part of our community.”

“Tammy is well-deserving,” Branch 389 President Marg Savoie said. “You couldn’t ask for a better person to help us raise money. She works hard for us. Tammy is excellent.”

Branch Padre Reverend David Estabrooks also urged younger members to get involved.

“It’s your Legion,” Rev. Estabrooks said.

It was Rev. Estabrooks’ first levee as padre.

“We’ve certainly been welcomed.”

During the afternoon the Branch presented $1,000 to Community Care Havelock and accepted $1,000 from the Branch 389 Ladies Auxiliary. Earlier, they presented $1,000 to the Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corp (2777) in Campbellford.

Bill Laurie, 30 years; Ellen Kocik, Trevor McIlmoyle, 15 years.

Havelock – Tammy Driscoll has been a member of the Havelock Legion for just two years but she’s already made a big impact.

The Branch 389 Ways and Means chair was presented with the prestigious Legionnaire of the Year Award during the traditional honours and awards gala and New Year’s Day Levee.

“It’s a very big honour,” Driscoll said after receiving the award from Sandy Peters.

“I’m enjoying helping the Legion and we’re having lots of fun doing it,” she said. “The branch is there to help everyone and being a member you see how much they help. We help veterans, sports, kids in schools and the elderly, everybody -- much more than people understand that we do.”

Driscoll was humbled by the presentation spreading some of the accolades to the volunteers who help at some of the functions she helps organize.

“I wouldn’t be able to do anything without my volunteers who help me along.”

And like peers at other Royal Canadian Legion branches in the district, Driscoll is keen to get more people involved, especially younger residents.

“I’m trying to get the younger ones to come out and have some Bob Morrison (left) accepts a $1,000 cheque on behalf of Community Care Havelock from Havelock Le- Tammy Driscoll receives the Royal Canadian Legion Havelock Branch 389 Legionnaire of the Year fun and support the veterans,” she gion Branch 389 executive member Sandy Peters during the branch’s annual New Year’s Day honours award from Sandy Peters during the branch’s annual New Year’s Day honours and awards and levee.

HBM watches North Kawartha as it reviews in-water buildings, structures structures such as docks, boathouses and marine facilities.

“The purpose of the proposed amendment is to establish permissible in-water structures as well as regulations for such structures,” a North Kawartha planning department notice states.

Available in most new Ford vehicles with 6-month pre-paid subscription.

The proposed amendment would apply to all lakes and lake beds in the township; the municipality notes that the Trent Severn Waterway and the Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park has authority over some lakes in the township.

Jack Lake south of Apsley straddles HBM and North Kawartha which makes the in-water structures issue a relevant and important one for HBM council.

“If things are not the same on one side of the lake as the other it’s going to be very difficult,” Mayor Ron Gerow noted.

“I’ve been to a few of their public meetings and it will be nice to hear what people are thinking,” said Deputy-Mayor Jim Martin. “It will be interesting to hear what comments come out of this meeting.”

“If we are going to do anything we will probably have to have our own meeting with our ratepayers,” said Martin. “There’s a lot of different thoughts in this end of the township versus the north of the township in my opinion.”

The township needs to be following what North Kawartha is doing, Mayor Gerow agreed.

“The big part of it is the docks,” says Martin. “It will be an interesting meeting.”

Council has asked staff for a report on the issue with additional information from the municipality’s solicitor.

“We don’t want to be caught in March, April or May,” said Gerow.

In 2011, the Jack’s Lake Association and the Havelock-BelmontMethuen Lake Association raised concerns with council about a 2,395 square foot boathouse that was being constructed on Jack’s Lake without the need, at that time, for any level of government approval, municipal or otherwise, nor public consultation.

Rebels still hold out hope of making the playoffs Campbellford – With its season winding down in the Empire B Junior C Hockey League, the fifth-place Campbellford Rebels haven’t given up hope of making it into the playoffs.

They trailed the Gananoque Islanders by four points but had two games in hand with 10 games remaining heading into Saturday’s match against the Amherstview Jets.

A 9-5 loss at home didn’t help the club’s chances but team president Jim Peeling said fourth spot is still within reach. Three of the Rebels’ remaining games are against the cellar-dwelling Picton Pirates while another is against the Islanders.

“If we can win three of those four, we got a really good shot of getting that fourth spot,” Peeling said, adding with a laugh the club would be “fodder for Port Hope in the first round,” as the Panthers hold a commanding lead atop the league with 25 wins and just four losses.

Campbellford plays Port Hope twice this weekend, the first game at home Saturday night at 7:30 p.m.

Peeling said the Rebels have been hurt by players getting hurt, with team injuries including broken collarbones, broken fingers and a broken ankle.

Illness has also dragged the team down, with three players calling in sick before Satur-

day’s contest.

“It just seems to be one thing after another,” he said.

Campbellford had won two in a row for the just the second time this season before losing to Amherstview, beating Napanee 3-2 and Gananoque 5-2.

The road win over Napanee was impressive, as the Raiders sit in second place, 23 points ahead of the Rebels. Jeremiah Doherty scored twice, including the winner on a power play in the third period. Ethan McDougall also scored with the team holding a man advantage.

Netminder Tyler Freeman made 53 saves for his first win of the season.

It was a one-goal game with 20 minutes to play in Campbellford’s loss at home Satur-

day but then the Jets exploded for seven goals to secure the victory.

Doherty, Austin Fry, Travis Bennett and Tristan Nugent

scored for the Rebels, who held a 3-1 lead with less than two minutes to play in the second before the floodgates opened.

Peeling said the Rebels didn’t

Chamber will present new strategic plan at annual general meeting East Northumberland – Members of the Brighton-Cramahe Chamber of Commerce will be presented with a four-year strategic plan at the chamber’s annual general meeting Feb. 23.

The new plan, which builds on the one that covered the 2013-15 period, sets four strategic initiatives – membership growth, communications, expanded events and program development, manager Sherry Hamilton said.

They’re all intended to help the chamber’s member businesses “do their job better,” she said. “We provide a lot of support for the business community directly and indirectly. We’re a hub of information.”

Its services include arranging for

mentorship support that will help with everything from starting up a business to handling income challenges to succession planning, all done confidentially.

“I’ve seen lot of success come out of it,” Hamilton said.

The plan includes “all kinds of fundraising ideas” to generate revenue for the chamber which lost about half of its funding last year when the Municipality of Brighton chose not to renew the tourism services agreement.

Despite the challenges it faced in 2015, the chamber demonstrated fiscal responsibility by not having to use any of the 2016 dues it had collected before the end of last year.

“Sometimes they did that in a very big way and that was always a prob-

lem for the chamber of commerce,” president Burke Friedrichkeit said.

Membership growth will be a key priority and the chamber can use as a selling point the two-month survey it completed in December which found 90 per of its members said they would recommend the organization to other businesses.

“Our membership is generally pleased with the way we’re going and they’re supportive of bringing more businesses in,” Hamilton said.

She said “a good average for a chamber of commerce in Canada [is] about 30 per cent” of local businesses to be members.

“We’re at about half that [so] there’s easily room to double our membership.”

Netminder about to don another uniform

The 20-year-old Campbellford native, who tended net for four seasons, compiling an overall record of 71-63, begins his 12week basic training Jan. 23 at Saint Jean, Quebec. It’s the first step to his becoming an avionics systems technician with the air force.

“It’s nice the organization valued the time I put in and the amount of years I played for them,” Mahoney said of the formal send-off he received prior to the game against the Amherstview Jets, when he was presented with a watch and jersey and took part in the puck drop at centre ice. “I really appreciated the ceremony.”

The evening’s lone blot was the injury-riddled home team losing 9-5, despite Mahoney making 53 saves.

“I would have liked a better outcome,” he chuckled.

A graduate of Campbellford District High School, Mahoney earned an electrical techniques certificate at Fleming College.

Mahoney joined the Rebels at age 16 in the midst of a playoff run in 2012 that ended with a game seven Schmalz Cup semifinal loss in Alliston.

“He was probably the number one reason” the team went as far as did that year, after losing its starting goalie to injury, Rebels president Jim Peeling said.

“Any success we had in winning hockey games, an awful lot of it falls on his shoulders. He always gave us a chance to win a hockey game ... He was as steady as a rock.”

Mahoney said he “really enjoyed” his time with the Rebels, saying it had been “a good experience.”

The team has never duplicated the success it achieved the year Mahoney was added to the lineup and it currently finds itself outside a playoff position.

Frankford’s Tyler Freeman moves up to become Campbellford’s number one goalie and the team “is still working on” determining a backup, Peeling said.

us on achieving those recommendations. If they decide it’s a priority for them, we’ll tell them what can be done and how we think we can help do that.”

Hamilton said she “would not be surprised if more businesses opened in the downtown core” or existing businesses change what they are doing as a result of the First Impressions report, which created a “buzz” when it was presented to about 50 people at a public meeting in November.

“I’m very optimistic from what I’m hearing,” she said.

Her recommendations will include short-term “really simple” suggestions as well as answers to “complicated issues that may require further investment.”

Are any of your family members an active athlete? Wearing a mouth guard is an important precaution for athletes of all ages and abilities, helping to protect against chipped or broken teeth, root and bone damage, and tooth loss. Mouth guards also protect against serious jaw injuries.

Friedrichkeit said “there is a lot of negativity [in the area] and we have to try to overcome that.

“The potential here is mind-boggling, we really sit on a goldmine but [some people] don’t realize it ... We’re trying to show a positive side.”

Hamilton is working on a proposal she will present to Cramahe Township next month that will offer up to 15 recommendations for improving Colborne. It’s based on a First Impressions Community Exchange involving a team from Cannington who visited the village last year as part of a program funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.

Curl for Kids celebrates magnificent milestone

By Bill Freeman Norwood – Curl for Kids reached a magnificent milestone over the weekend. The second oldest continuous fundraiser for Camp Oochigeas celebrated its 25th anniversary at the Norwood Curling Club Saturday with 64 curlers sweeping their way into the hearts of the young people and families who benefit from the brilliance of Camp Ooch.

Camp Ooch is the only residential camp in Ontario that offers onsite IV chemotherapy treatment and blood transfusions. Since its inception in 1983, it has expanded to offer a year-round camp in Muskoka for kids six to 18, programs at Sick Kids Hospital and Ooch Downtown as well as other regional pediatric cancer treatment centres.

In 2014 alone over 400 youngsters, 84 of them new, enjoyed the camp while another 8,000 “camp experiences” were offered at Sick Kids and at least 314 kids participated in fall and winter programs at Muskoka site.

“It’s a pretty happy day,” said Marilyn Wharram who with her husband Bruce, their daughters and a team of volunteers have organized Curl for Kids since taking over from spiel founder Sharon Scott. The bonspiel honours their daughter Tammy, who died of leukemia when she was 18, and Candace Webb.

In 25 years, the spiel has raised over $100,000.

The Wharrams also host a fundraising golf tourney each summer in honour of Marilyn’s father Bill Muir.

It’s a legacy Marilyn feels Tammy would be proud of.

“I often wonder if my daughter can see what’s going on. She would be very proud of this and so is the curling club too. It keeps Tammy’s name going, too, and I like that.”

The Wharrams laud the event’s supporters. The list of business sponsors is long and impressive, with the Norwood Lions, Lioness and Seniors Friendship Club also contributing. There are also over 50 private donors. All the food and prize table items were donated and this year Marilyn purchased gifts for each of the 64 participants.

The Kawartha Potter’s Guild also sold items to raise money for Ooch.

“It has gone by quickly,” says Bruce. “The turnout, the prizes the cash donations have grown and are exceptional.”

He says there are people making cash donations that are larger than the total raised in the earliest years of the event.

“There’s just amazing support from the community.”

Last year Curl for Kids raised over $8,000 and Marilyn Wharram (far left) congratulates the rink of Larry Sullivan, Lori Sullivan, Gayle Wilson and Doug Wilson after winning this year they hoped to top $10,000.

The Wharrams have visited the Camp and wel- the “A” Draw at the 25th annual Curl for Kids bonspiel in Norwood. Taking the “B” Draw was the rink of Denton Curry, Doris and Terry Stephens and Diana Cronin. Photo submitted comed representatives in Norwood.

“It is impressive,” Marilyn says of the programming offered to young cancer patients.

Donations do make a difference: $250 will give a child too sick to travel one day at Camp Ooch day camp while $125 will provide an afternoon at Ooch downtown; $1,750 gives a child with cancer a full week of camp.

Winning the “A” draw was the rink of Larry and Lori Sullivan and Gayle and Doug Wilson.

The “B” draw went to Denton Curry, Doris and Terry Stephens and Diana Cronin.

are proud to announce

Quinte West - The Trenton Golden Hawks helped raise more than $13,000 for women’s cancers during their third annual “Pink in the Rink” event at home again rivals the Wellington Dukes on Wed. Jan. 6.

Exceeding their goal of $12,000 was one fantastic outcome for the Trenton Golden Hawks but, unfortunately they couldn’t pull off a win, losing to the Dukes 4-3 in overtime during the thrilling game.

“It was awesome,” said Amy Doyle, manager at the local Cancer Society office. “The level of excitement in the building was really high, it was wonderful. We were honoured to have year three happen this year.”

Sponsored by Scotia Bank in Trenton and Huff Estates Winery, the evening featured a silent auction with a signed Toronto Maple Leafs jersey and donations signed by Andrew Shaw.

Doyle said people were very generous and donat-

ed to the buckets passed around for donations from the crowd, Quinte West firefighters donated $2,500 and Off The Hook in Trenton donated bracelets for the first 100 women through the door.

“The guys looked great in pink and it was a good game,” Doyle said. “Playing the Wellington Dukes is kind of cool because it’s a great rivalry, but additionally they’re both local teams in areas that we cover so it really adds a lot of excitement.”

Doyle said she was extremely pleased with the total raised and honoured to work alongside the Golden Hawks.

More than 900 people came out to support “Pink in the Rink” and watch the two rival teams battle it out on the ice. The Hawks had a slow start to the game, lagging 2-0 until midway through the third period.

“Wellington came to play and we didn’t… we didn’t decide to play hockey until the third period,” said John McDonald, director of hockey operations.

“Pink in the Rink” was a tremendous success for the Trenton Golden Hawks, raising over $13,000 for women’s cancers. The thrilling game went into overtime but the Trenton Golden Hawks couldn’t pull off a win, losing 4-3 to rivals the Wellington Dukes on Wed. Jan. 6. Photo by Taylor Bertelink.

Liam Morgan scored the Golden Hawks’ first goal in the third period, which was followed by two more by Kevin Lavoie and Mitch Everson bringing the score to 3-3 at the end of the third period.

The Duke’s Luc Brown scored the winning goal 4:34 into the intense second overtime period. Duke’s goalie Olivier Lafreniere worked turning aside 33 shots on goal and

Trenton’s Jackson McIntosh made 29 saves for Trenton.

“If we had played 60 minutes the outcome could have been different, but you don’t take anything away from Wellington, they’re a great team,” McDonald said. “The way they’re playing right now I think it’s going to come down to us and them in the finals anyway, it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
