News - Quinte West - It was truly a Canadian day, celebrating the Olympics with events outside in the snow. “Students have been divided among 12 different countries,� said co-ordinator Natalie Kotsovos. Events in the field and play area were run by St. Paul student volunteers who showed the children how to compete. This included a hockey shoot-out, curling, dog sledding (with toboggans), snowman relay and tug of war. There were also some indoor events such as Math Wars, Smartboard games, medal designs and Minute to Win It in the library. The day started with Opening Ceremonies, each team carrying its own country’s flag, marching around the school. “All teachers were given a large piece of paper to create the team flag,� Kotsovos said. Countries chosen included Canada, U.S.A., Great Britain, Switzerland, Norway, Finland, France, Russia, South Korea and the Czech Republic. Children as young as Kindergarten participated, even attempting to push a hockey puck for the first time. The curling event used plastic sliders and the obstacle course included running through a hula hoop. Most of the fun was out on the Tug of War, with children pulling with all their might, and

Frozen pipes part of a frigid winter’s work for staff
By Kate Everson
News - Quinte West - During the recent cold weather Public Works crews have been very busy. “Distribution and meter staff have been addressing many issues,� reports Matt Tracey, manager of Water and Wastewater Services. “Since January they have repaired 30 frozen water meters, 25 frozen services, 10 broken water services, four watermain breaks and six frozen sewer services.� He told the Public Works committee that they also repaired a 12-inch main that broke on Carrying Place Road. Fred Kuypers asked why the
onstructall C Granite UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP
pipes were breaking. Were they too old or not put deep enough? Tracey said it was a change in temperature. Some pipes were installed over 50 years ago. He described some of the pipes as looking like Swiss cheese. “You put pressure on it and another hole pops up,� he said. Jim Harrison asked how the pipes were deteriorating. Tracey said new insulation would help extend their life. Mayor John Williams asked if staff was working all night. Tracey said it took 24 hours to fix pipes to 100 homes. Tracey also reported that the Bayside Water Treatment Plant

has been inspected and received a 100 per cent inspection rating. Trenton Water Treatment Plant has had problems with an emergency overflow tank. “This is a problem which should have been addressed years ago,� he said. Staff are working with MOE on a design to modify the piping system. In Frankford there were a couple of bypasses reported to the MOE. In Trenton Wastewater Treatment Plant a local industry discharge caused the UV disinfection system to drop intensity for 2.5 days. Operators had to chemically clean the filters. The city is working with JL Richards Engineering and the MOE to dis-

cuss plans for upgrades. “The design process is now under way,� he said. Mayor John Williams commented, “It’s nice to have a report like this. The days of “How’s everything going? Everything is fine� are gone.� Jim Harrison agreed, “The issues are being dealt with.� John Harris asked if all the plants in other municipalities are getting 100 per cent ratings. Tracey said most are in the high 90s. “The province has put in the work and it has paid off,� Tracey said. “Ontario has one of the safest drinking water [systems] in the world.�
Jim Alyea asked about a water line break at the Royal Bank. Tracey said it was in front of the building. “It’s an old service that was abandoned,� he said. Harrison said it should all have been taken out. Tracey said there were several services still in place before it was the Royal Bank. Jim Harrison said the winter control has been “keeping our heads above water� this year. Wayne Scaletta commented the railroad bridge at the west end was all blowing snow. Jim Turner said there should be evergreens planted on the west side as a snow fence. “It would help considerably,� Turner said.

News - Quinte West - Public Works has approved an agreement with Ontario One Call for the delivery of Call Centre services for “locate requests� for municipal infrastructure. “It will be easier and safer for people,� said Matt Tracey, manager of Water and Wastewater services. He told the Public Works and Environmental Services committee that the GIS staff gets 2,000 requests a year to locate services such as Bell, gas, phone and Hydro, before digging can begin. “This is to reduce risk to damage of the lines,� he explained. The Ontario One Call requires that all utility owners must be registered. This law will ensure that a single call from excavators, contractors or the residents reaches the Utility Locate Service Provider to perform the locates. “The role of Ontario One Call is to notify all registered owners of underground facilities within the vicinity of the planned excavation area to provide the local service,� Tracey explained. He said it will streamline the process. “People call Ontario One Call and they call us,� he said. The city must be fully registered and operating by June 18, 2014. Starting in January, 2015, there will be a charge of $1.60 per notification. It is expected the city will have about 3,700 notifications annually and will incur costs of over $6,000 a year. This may increase as more members and excavators become compliant with the legislation. Currently, locates are completed by city staff. By entering into the agreement, all locate requests will be co-ordinated by the call centre and directed to appropriate city staff for completion. Ontario One Call is available 365 days a year to process locate requests, 24 hours a day. This is expected to reduce the damage of water, sewer and storm water infrastructure, street light power supply wires, accidents and injuries to the public and employees and potentially reduce costs associated with employees. Don Kuntze commented, “It will cost more to dig it up and fix it if it’s damaged.� Chuck Naphan asked about cross bores locates with Union Gas. Matt Tracey said a system is in place. All contractors are on One Call. “Once they are in the database we won’t have a problem again,� he said.

She said it helps local businesses get exposure in the community and also helps raise funds for local charities. “We raise money for a different charity every year,� she said. “This year it is the Wounded Warrior Fund. We hope to help pay for a service dog for someone with PTSD to help with anxiety.� Members and guests enjoyed the treatments which included reflexology, Indian Head Massage, Reiki, neck and shoulder massage, facial waxing, make-up applications, paraffin wax

ago he could enlighten himself concerning the many clinical trials which prove cannabis to be a bronchodilator which could actually be beneficial in treating his asthma. See: http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1429361/ as one example by the British Pharmacological Society from as far back as 1978. As with so many of Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statements the information he feeds Canadians about marijuana is patently false. Unfortunately he has our tax dollars to use to force his many falsehoods down our throats in wave after wave of advertising at our expense. Tell a lie often enough and people will eventually think it must be true. I cannot imagine any Canadians who took the time to consider the facts in this situation who would want to see Marc Emery spend his birthday in an American prison. Truth is most Canadians have no idea who Marc Emery is. Our daily lives are too busy figuring out how we are going to pay our bills and all the taxes which are demanded from us. Harper counts on us being too busy or too lazy to care. So he goes about constructing his own vision of Canada and doing whatever he has to just to stay in power. Jim Flahertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget will be declared balanced in time for the 2015 election whether it really is or not. Harper is in the midst of changing the Election Canada rules in his favour so his dirty tricks, like the false robocalls in the last election, will never be investigated in the future. He has a majority and he is using it to secure another majority so he can finish reshaping Canada in his own image. Marc Emery will not be Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last political prisoner. In many ways all Canadians already are. Alan Coxwell, Stirling
PM erred on Israel Dear Editor My Grandfather served in the First World War. Three of my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brothers served in the Second World War. My father was injured as a child and was not able to serve. All these men were loyal Conservatives. They belonged to the Anglican Church and were loyal, patriotic Canadians. They were tried and true Progressive Conservatives, not the Reform Party hacks that run this country today. My ancestors did not serve this country to have it sold out to Israel by some deceitful, betraying elected representative that everyone calls a Prime Minister. This time Stephen Harper crossed the line, forcing everyone who votes Conservative to be either a Zionist or a liar. Some choice! Robert G. Foxton Madoc

Dear Editor, Today, February 13, 2014, is Marc Emeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 56th birthday. He is spending this birthday as a Canadian citizen in a small cement box decorated with iron bars in an American prison in Yazoo City, Mississippi. Marc is a political prisoner who was put there through a collusion between the Harper government and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) of the United States of America. As an outspoken proponent for the legalization of marijuana, to the tune of contributing over $4 million to the cause worldwide, they wanted him silenced. So they threw him into an American prison for five years. The facts are that the American prosecutor in Marcâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case has now publicly stated he is in favour of legalization of marijuana. Washington and Colorado citizens have voted to legalize marijuana and authorities in those two states have recently done so. Last summer the Justice Department of the United States signed release papers which would allow Marc to return to Canada to serve the rest of his sentence near his wife and family. Stephen Harper refuses to sign it on behalf of Canada. Thus Marc stays in an American prison for his birthday again in 2014. This situation makes me very ashamed to be a Canadian. It displays the depths of cruelty to which our Prime Minister is willing to descend in order to force his totally warped world view on the rest of us. His ignorance about the beneficial qualities of this natural plant and its potential to assist mankind on many fronts is truly breathtaking. When Justin Trudeau announced he had used marijuana on rare occasions Stephen Harper said he never has tried marijuana because he is asthmatic. If Harper spent as much time researching the truth as he did with his hands on the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem a few weeks

large number of swans were dead in the water. Sandy Pines have been receiving large numbers of swans on a daily basis who are not surviving. So, if perhaps as inhabitants of this earth we can help out the swans by feeding them whole dried corn, to get them through this difficult time. Food should not be placed along roadsides but along the shoreline and private property should be respected. I understand Mr. Larocque`s concern but perhaps he and his neighbours would be willing to make up some road signs, advising drivers of the presence of the swans and help these birds until weather conditions improve. Angela and David Mantle, Carrying Place R0012560671
Dear Editor, I am writing in response to Mr.Larocque`s letter regarding the feeding of the swans by his neighbour. It was a quite a coincidence when shortly after reading Mr. Larocque`s letter, I should receive a telephone call from Sue Meech who owns the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre in Napanee. Sue was putting out calls to everyone she could to request assistance in saving the lives of local swans and ducks, especially the ones along the Barcovan Road where large numbers of swans are dying from lack of natural food. According to Sue, the large masses of shoreline ice is preventing the swans from getting in shore to feed. And, as a result their body weight is decreasing and they have no resistance to the extreme cold. As of this past Saturday, a

Connected to your community OPINION Israel: Nuclear Hypocrisy Editorial – When Mordechai Vanunu, a humble Israeli technician who worked for years at Israel’s secret nuclear site at Dimona, spilled the beans about Israel’s nuclear weapons in 1986, very bad things happened to him. He was lured from safety in England for an Italian holiday by a woman who was an Israeli secret agent, drugged and kidnapped from Italy by other Israeli agents, and imprisoned for eighteen years (eleven Gwynne Dyer of them in solitary confinement). When Avraham Burg, the former speaker of the Israeli parliament, said last month that Israel has both nuclear and chemical weapons (you know, like the nuclear weapons that Iran must not have and the chemical weapons that Syria must give up), nothing bad happened to him at all. He is protected by the Important Persons Act, the unwritten law that gets powerful and well-connected people off the hook in every country. They didn’t even go after Burg when he said that Israel’s long-standing policy of “non-disclosure (never confirm or deny that it has nukes) was “outdated and childish.” But even ten years after Vanunu finished serving his long jail sentence, he is not allowed to leave Israel, go near any foreign embassy, airport or border crossing, or speak to any journalist or foreigner. The Israeli government’s excuse for all this is that he may still know secrets he might reveal, but that is nonsense. Vanunu hasn’t seen Dimona or talked to anybody in the Israeli nuclear weapons business for 30 years. What drives his tormentors is sheer vindictiveness, and he may well go on being punished for his defiance until he dies – while Avraham Burg lives out his life undisturbed and offers occasional pearls of wisdom to the public. So here are the “secrets” that Vanunu and Burg revealed, in rather more detail than Burg chose to give and in a more upto-date form than Vanunu could give from personal knowledge. Israel has a minimum of eighty and a maximum of four hundred nuclear weapons, those limits being based on calculations of the amount of fissile material that it has enriched to
weapons grade. The best guess is that the total is around two hundred warheads, most of them two-stage thermonuclear devices (hydrogen bombs). At least some dozens are “tactical” weapons designed to be fired by 175 mm and 203 mm artillery pieces at ranges of 40-70 km. The remainder are meant to be delivered by missiles or aircraft, and Israel maintains a full “triad” of delivery systems: land-based missiles, sea-launched missiles, and aircraft. The missiles are mostly Jericho II medium-range ballistic missiles, which can reach all of Europe and most of western Asia. Since 2008 Jericho III intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) have also been entering service, with a range that would allow Israel to strike any inhabited point on the planet except some Pacific islands. Both can carry a one-megaton warhead. Why such remarkably long ranges, when Israel’s avowed enemies are all relatively close to hand? One speculation is that this is meant to encourage caution in other nuclear states (Pakistan? North Korea?) that might at some future time be tempted to supply nuclear weapons to Israel’s near enemies. The maritime leg of the triad is highly accurate cruise missiles that are launched from underwater by Israel’s Germanbuilt Dolphin-class submarines. These missiles constitute Israel’s “secure second-strike” capability, since it is extremely unlikely that even the most successful enemy surprise attack could locate and destroy the submarines. And finally, there are American-made F-15 and F-16 strike aircraft that can also carry nuclear bombs. The United States did not help Israel to develop nuclear weapons in the first place (France did that), and even now Washington does not really approve of Israel’s nukes, although it tolerates them in the interest of the broader alliance. But why, after all these years, does Israel still refuse to acknowledge that it has them? The only plausible answer is: to avoid embarrassing the United States in ways that would make it restrict its arms exports to Israel. But realistically, how likely is that to happen? The US Congress will ensure that Israel goes on getting all the money and arms it wants no matter what it says about its nukes, and it is high time to end this ridiculous dance around the truth.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The federal budget and who benefitted Dear Editor Who got hit and who breezed through in this last federal budget? Public servants, the whipping boys of the Harper government certainly took yet another hit, more layoffs, cuts to pensions etc. Odd that I always considered MPs and MPPs to be “public servants” Obviously they do not, as there are no cuts to their gold-plated pensions or any layoffs. I always think it’s nice when we share the pain, don’t you? In a recent study of the European Parliament after members’ salaries had been equalized, those members who took a reduction in income actually worked harder, attending more committee meetings and issuing more reports, asking more questions etc. Those who received an increase did less work, which proves that a cut in an MP’s salary would increase their work ethic. Unfortunately the golden rule is “they who have the gold, make the rules.” The Conservatives, sitting on a $12 million war chest, with lots more to come when needed, changed the rules again with a hit specifically at the NDP. The only situation in which the NDP has outpaced the Tories in raising funds was from the grave, $10 for every $1 for the Tories. It appears that Conservatives expect a return on investment, whereas NDP sup-

porters want the good fight to continue after they are gone. So those donations have been capped at $1,200 maximum. On the other side, phone calls during an election to remind supporters to renew their memberships are exempt from spending limits. When you have more money to spend than the law allows, change the rules so lots of phone calls are coming in the next election. As Canada watches its social programs cut, postal delivery door to door cut, (lineups at the post office ready for privatization), retirement age increased, healthcare downloaded to the provinces and demonization of the labour movement, we should consider how far down this road we can travel before the corporations running the show simply dispense with the façade of democracy altogether. In Alberta, centre of the universe for the Harper government, regulation for the environment, fisheries, forestry and water has been privatized. The new entity is now totally funded by the industries it is supposed to regulate. Can the rest of Canada hold out against this new modern improved model? Paul Whittaker, Gilmour
If it’s broken, estimate Dear Editor It seems that the time has come to put my two cents worth into the so-called smart meter controversy. Wyley Canuck is correct when he says that smart metering is anything but smart, however his reasoning is wrong. He starts by blaming the problem on overpaid Hydro One staff, but he fails to single out only those that brought smart metering to its present sad state. The blame lies squarely on their shoulders and those of senior management who failed to halt this ill-conceived scheme. And much of the blame must also be shared by the Liberal government under Dalton McGuinty who endorsed this madness in his rush to bring forth a very imperfect “green” energy policy. Wyley suggests that the meters are deliberately “fixed” to overcharge customers. This is nothing but nonsense. These meters are very easy to test, and I’ve already tested mine and two others and found them to be well within the accuracy required by the federal government. Those federal standards also prohibit tampering by force of law, and any attempt to do so would put Hydro One and the provincial Liberals in an untenable position. Once the accuracy of the meter is proven, then simply by keeping a record of the digital meter reading on a monthly basis, you can check the total kilowatt hours on your monthly bill against your own monthly readings. The real problem with smart metering is that it serves no useful purpose. For years Hydro has always kept records of its daily load variations on paper chart recorders, magnetic tapes, and now with modern digital systems. There is no sensible reason to keep track of exactly how much energy each individual family uses. Sure, we’re told that we can adjust our energy usage to take advantage of off-peak rates, but the real truth is that our usage is dictated by daily needs that are largely beyond our control. Few, if any, can set their own hours of work, and must arrange their schedule around their work hours, school needs, etc. And how much is really saved? For those in many rural areas where the system is not operational, you still pay a flat rate calculated on the basis of a time-weighted average of the off-peak, mid-peak, and on-peak rates. No time-of-day savings for those in that situation! Then there are those with third party energy contracts. Their per-kWh price for Hydro is also a flat rate that is one or two tenths of a cent below the maximum, on-peak rate. We actually have one neighbour with such a contract who uses less Hydro than we do, but pays substantially more because he can’t take advantage of time-of-day pricing. That not-so-little detail was carefully left out of any Liberal propaganda praising the introduction of smart metering. I have yet to work it out, but I suspect that, with the new rates, the time-of-day savings may not be as great as Hydro would have us believe once you take into account all the extras that are added onto the bill that are independent of the time of use. Keep in mind that your real cost per kWh is not the price that Hydro claims on your bill, but it’s actually the total charge in dollars shown on the bill divided by the total number of kWh also shown on the bill. Those pesky “extras” just can’t be ignored. The cost of the original system was bad enough, running in the order of $1 billion, and it’s still not finished. Now one would have thought that, with all this data coming in, Hydro would have included the cost for a data handling centre, but no they apparently did not. They came back to the table to ask for more money, $250 million to be exact, to build a data processing centre. The reason? Well it seems that in the mad rush to jump on the “green” bandwagon, the various public utilities neglected to select a common digital language for their local municipal metering systems. It now appears that this $250 million data centre is designed as a sort of digital “United Nations” headquarters where all these various metering “languages” can be translated into some common system so that energy distribution data of Hydro and all the various public utilities can be coordinated. Had the proper thought been given to this coordination problem, it’s very likely that extra $250 million might not have been needed. Hydro One has chosen to ignore the old adage: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, but when it’s someone else’s money they’re playing with, they tend to get careless. Bob Johnson, Stirling

Jim notes that more people are hearing about digestive disorders through hot topics like gluten-free diets and taking probiotics in yogurt or pills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eating healthy has no affect on Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But overall it will help your general health.â&#x20AC;? He added it is not true that researchers are working toward a cure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The harsh reality is that everyone with this disease will likely die from it or complications from it,â&#x20AC;? he stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no magic pill. It canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be cured.â&#x20AC;? He said the immune system attacks the digestive track as a foreign invader. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You plan your life around trips to the bathroom, doctors and medications,â&#x20AC;? he said. Jim hopes more people learn about the disease so that it loses its social stigma. The Batawa Seniors Unlimited thanked Jim for his talk and gave him a cheque for $200 to go toward the Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Colitis Foundation of Canada.

News - Batawa - Jim Webster spoke from the heart when he talked to Batawa Seniors Unlimited recently. He was talking about Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Colitis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was diagnosed with Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease when I was 19 years old,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had symptoms since puberty.â&#x20AC;? Jim had been misdiagnosed as being mildly lactose intolerant, having celiac disease or Irritable Bowel Syndrome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is so much confusion and lack of education, even among health care professionals,â&#x20AC;? he said. Fortunately, he grew up with an extremely supportive family. He was hospitalized for one year. He said it was very hard when people kept asking the same question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;How are you feeling?â&#x20AC;? His answer was always, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fine.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;My being sick was the only thing people knew about me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did not want to be defined by that.â&#x20AC;? He said, like himself, many people suffer in silence. There are no public role models, no Michael J. Fox, no one to speak out about the illness. There were only two well-known people, hockey players Fleury and Courson, who admitted they had it, but the news did not focus on that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All people know about Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Colitis is that it causes diarrhea,â&#x20AC;? he said. Jim says he has sympathy for those sufferers who self-medicate, or take marijuana to escape. Unfortunately, there is no information available about what relieves symptoms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s you are always in pain,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wish this on my worst enemy.â&#x20AC;? He said there is no proper support for people with the disease. He feels a lot of unresolved anger and has had setbacks in his career and personal relationships. In Kings-
ton there is a group that meets to share similar stories but it is not really a support group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a closet disease,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is shrouded in silence.â&#x20AC;? He added that Canada has one of the highest incidences in the world, costing the country millions in healthcare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Colitis is the third most expensive to treat, after heart disease and cancer,â&#x20AC;? he said. He noted he spends $30,000 a year in prescriptions. The emotional suffering is also devastating, including lack of self worth and fear of intimacy. The risk of getting colorectal cancer is 47 per cent higher as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embarrassing to talk about,â&#x20AC;? he admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a lack of public understanding. We need awareness to help employers understand. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine being in low end retail where your bathroom breaks are monitored. The old mentality doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work well with this disease.â&#x20AC;? He said the only fund raising is done through M&M barbeques in May and the Gutsy Walk in June as the largest corporate sponsors.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first of many joint endeavours,â&#x20AC;? she said. St. Peter Catholic School has moved to a new location to 15 Tripp Boulevard just behind St. Paul Catholic Secondary. The Grade 7 and 8 students participated in the Olympics at the high school on Tuesday. Grade 8 students also had their own Amazing Race Day checking out the classes before entering Grade 9. At the end of the cold Canadian wintery Olympics Day the children were ready to retire their mittens and wait for warmer days soon to come!

Prizes up for grabs at Maple Syrup Festival art show

News – Warkworth – The window of opportunity is closing with one day remaining for artists and photographers to submit their entries in this year’s popular 14th annual Maple Syrup Festival Juried Art and Photography show and sale. “We average 100 entries per year and exhibit approximately 50 to 60 of those,” said Diane Arsenault, president of the Spirit of the Hills Northumberland Hills Arts Association, which hosts the event every year. “The show is only open to members and the fee is $10 per piece of art submitted,” she said. “We pay our jurors and we’re sharing the cost of the gala,” she added, explaining the reason for the fee. Juror of this year’s event is Marc L. Gagnon, a fulltime water colour and acrylic painter. He holds degrees in Environmental Studies and Architecture from the University of Waterloo, and has practised architecture for over 25 years.
In 2000 he was elected a member of The Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour, (CSPWC) and served on the board of directors for several years. He was president of the CSPWC from 2005 until 2007. “Marc will be giving a free demonstration on abstracting the landscape in watercolours,” said Arsenault. The demonstration will take place on Saturday, March 9 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts. The winning artists/photographers will be awarded their prizes at the show’s gala on Friday, March 7, which takes place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. This year’s gala is being sponsored by On The Side Gourmet Food owned by Chef Tina Moorey. “One of the things I would like to acknowledge is the prize donors. This is the largest prizing giving juried show we’ve had yet,” said Arsenault. “Eclectic Mix has donated the ‘best in show’ prize of $250 for the past 14 years,

our strongest supporter from day one,” she added. Last year, ‘best in show’ went to Lucy Manley of Peterborough for her oil painting of “Sunset on Graham Creek.” This was Manley’s first Best in Show win at the Maple Syrup Festival Juried art show. “Lucy has been a member of Spirit of the Hills for decades,” commented Arsenault. The other categories include ‘best painting’ which is being sponsored by J. Bruce Taylor Accounting, ‘best photograph’ sponsored by Allen Insurance and ‘best 3-D mixed media’ sponsored by Warkworth Remedy’s RX. “The quality of the artistry and the artists which encompasses photographers, increases every year. Our membership is maturing as artists,” Arsenault commented.

On The Rocks: Trenton Curling Club news four-end games for the Little Rocks and two six-end games for the Bantams. In very close matches, the Trenton Little Rocks, with Skip Xavier Nickerson, Lead Katie Girardeau, Second Jenna Sweet, and Vice Tyler Thurston, lost in a tie game decided by skipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stones to the button. Tied again in the second game, fortune was reversed with Trenton winning in the skipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draw to the button. The Bantams lost a player to illness (Zack Bernstein) , and moved Little Rock Xavier Nickerson into the Lead position with Skip Melissa Whyte, Vice Thomas Hubbard, and Second Haley Girardeau. Defeated by Campbellford in the ďŹ rst game, they bounced back with a commanding victory over another Campbellford squad in the second game. The following Sunday Zone 4 Little Rock Champions: Lead Xavier Nickerson, Second Thomas Hubbard, Vice Melissa Whyte, and Skip Zack Bernstein with coaches Julie Whyte and Jake Ridder.

(Feb 16th), four of the eight players were chosen to represent Trenton in the Zone 4 Championships held in Brighton. This championship round was a three game total points spiel, with the Trenton club being represented by Skip Zack Bernstein, Vice Melissa Whyte, Second Thomas Hubbard, and lead Xavier Nickerson. The squad had overcome the previous weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jitters and illnesses, and went on to defeat Quinte 5-4, Campbellford 9-2, and Brighton 10-2. As the Zone 4 champions, they will now advance to the Provincial Championship games to be played at the Navy Curling Club in Ottawa on March 23rd. It was a treat to watch these youngsters compete and it ties in nicely with events happening half way around the world. As youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cheering on the Canadian curlers at Sochi,
keep in mind that these Olympians all started out at a local club somewhere in a Little Rocks or Junior Program. For about the cost of an average priced hockey stick ($67.80 for the season), you could be grooming a future Brad Jacobs or Jennifer Jones. Why not have your youngsters take a time out from cell phones
and tablets, and bring them to the club on a Sunday afternoon (1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3 p.m.). Our instructors will be more than happy to take them on the ice for an introduction to an Olympic dream. No equipment required, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all provided. For league standings, please visit our website at www.trentoncurlingclub.ca

Seven Natural Wonders of the Trent River Valley revealed By Kate Everson
News - Quinte West - Ewa Bednarczuk, ecology and stewardship specialist with Lower Trent Conservation, has revealed to the board the Seven Natural Wonders of the Trent River Valley. “These are areas off the beaten track,” she said. “They are all natural wonders.” First was the Murray Marsh Natural Habitat Area, “heart of the watershed,” located south of Campbellford on Goodfellow Road, 4.5 kilometres east of County Road 30, Brighton. “It is the largest natural area, yet the least known,” she said. “It is a diverse habitat, a huge wetland with a lot of ridges and species of wildlife. Who knows what’s in there? It is an unexplored area.” Ewa said the views from the drumlin are amazing. Very few people come there so you have it all to yourself, except for the bugs. “The bugs are atrocious in May,“ she admitted. The second was King’s Mill Conservation Area, “yours to explore,” located at 1119 Wellman’s Road, Stirling-Raw-
don. “It’s not very popular,” Ewa said. “But the landscape is beautiful.” There is an old mill as a landmark. Lower Trent partnered with Ducks Unlimited to enlarge the wetland. Trumpeter swans live there. “It’s special,” she said. “Very quiet. It’s worth the drive.” Douglas Springs Natural Habitat Area is Wonder #3. “A marker tree marks the spot.” It is located 2.5 kilometres east of Ivanhoe on Slab Street, Centre Hastings. It is home to a possible ancient Aboriginal marker tree and a secluded bubbling spring. Ewa explained that marker trees were deliberately altered by First Nations to mark a trail, modified at the base so the leader branch pointed in one direction. A 100-year-old sugar maple is one example of a pointer tree near the spring. Wonder #4 is Bleasdell Boulder Conservation Area, “a big rock far from home” located in Glen Miller on the Trenton-Frankford Road. The boulder is one of the largest glacial erratics in North America. The granite came from Bancroft area on the back of a glacier. “Hug, kiss or climb it,” Ewa ex-

claims, noting the rock now has public access off the highway. Wonder #5 is Red Cloud Pioneer Cemetery, “on spongy ground,” located north of Castleton on Red Cloud School
Road in Cramahe. Although very small, Red Cloud is a great example of native tall grass prairie with at least 30 species of rare plants. There was a settlement there in the 1840s, Quakers from Prince Edward County with homes, a church and a mill. Major droughts in the 1930s caused people to move away and all that’s left is the cemetery and old road. The prairie grass is a very rare habitat in Canada. Some people planted red pine in the 1960s but it shaded out the natural plants and was burned out. Only black oak survived the fire. “It’s a really special little place,” Ewa says. “It’s a spongy place. Take your shoes off and run around.” Wonder #6 is Peter’s Woods Provincial Nature Reserve “where the old geezers are” (trees). It is located six kilometres north of Centreton on County Road 23 to McDonald Road, Alnwick/ Haldimand. “It is a near virgin maple, beech, old growth forest roughly the size of a postage stamp.” “One of my favourite trees is the white oak,” says Ewa. “It is estimated to be 450 years old. It wears fashionable green socks [moss] and you can look
way up to the branches.” There are also white pine trees about 280 years old. “There are some really beautiful and rare trees,” she said. “Even the trees lying down are impressive, logs covered in moss.” She says the down trees are massive and full of life. There is a short loop trail with a reclining bench. Wonder #7 is Ranney Gorge, “an Indiana Jones experience,” located via Ferris Provincial Park, 474 County Road 8, or adjacent to Trent Severn Waterway locks #11/12 Campbellford. “There is a terrifying suspension bridge,” Ewa says. “Ten metres below is the Trent River.” She said there is also some drystone wall fencing in the park. Honourable Mention, almost Wonder #8 is the Weller’s Bay Sand Bar “Don’t get blown away!” located from a small boat at the end of Alyea Road, Quinte West. “It’s very well signed for Danger,” she adds. “It’s also a natural wildlife area. I was annoyed there is no access. It’s a very rare land just for wildlife, a nice haven for them.”
Studio opens for yoga and pilates By Kate Everson
Business - Trenton - A new Yoga and Pilates studio has opened in downtown Trenton above The Grind coffee shop. “It’s three businesses in one,” says Suzanne Andrews, Chamber of Commerce manager. “It’s ABD Wellness Solutions 613-827-4694, Get Yoga 613-438-9642 and Pilates with Roz 613-4752389. Three instructors have
come together to form a new wellness experience in Trenton that is different than anything currently available. ” “Our vision is to bring the community health, wellbeing, and mindfulness all together under one roof,” says Amy Babcock-Dejonge one of the partners in the business along with the other instructors. Brendon Abram and Amy Dejonge are both registered
Yoga instructors. Brendon is also a registered Thai Yoga massage therapist and is Yoga certified. Amy Dejonge is a CanFitPro certified Personal Trainer, Fitness Instructor and Nutritionist. The third instructor, Rosalind “Roz” Gomez, is a certified Pilates instructor with Body Harmonics. There will be a wide range of services available at the studio including private or class Pilates, Beginner to advanced Yoga, Thai Yoga massage, Pre/Post natal Yoga, Nutrition counselling, and personal coaching. “We have a very active, health conscious community in Quinte West,” says Andrews. “Businesses that cater to the health and fitness market are part of the hottest
trend right now and have the potential to do really well in our area.” “On behalf of the City of Quinte West we would like to extend a warm welcome to ABD Wellness Solution’s and their partners and staff as they open their doors at 45 Front Street, on the second floor,” says Mayor John Williams. “All three of these businesses are a great addition to the Downtown Trenton core and lend well to the diversity of our current business community. They will complement and provide spin-offs to existing business owners, which creates advantages for all.” There will be an open house at 45 Front Street above The Grind on Saturday, February 22, from 10
The Studio Above the Grind had a ribbon cutting with Suzanne Andrews, Brendon Abram, Mayor John Williams, Amy Babcock-Dejonge and Grind owner Colin Conroy. Photo: Kate Everson
a.m. to 3 p.m. with two free Yoga classes at 10 a.m. and 2.pm. You can also view the work of local artists Mercy Faulkner, Doug Comeau, AJ VanDrie, Julie Fina and Jodi Faulkner.
“In March we plan to have a Spa Day,” adds Abram. For more information you can visit their web sites www.getyoga.ca, www. pilateswithroz.com, and www.abdwellnesssolutions.com.

LIFESTYLES
Lifestyles - We live in a public relations age, where people like the Kardashians spend vast amounts of money to guarantee that they grace the covers of magazines every week, for doing absolutely nothing. In
fact, being famous is so prized that people do stupid things to attain it. I recently served on a committee looking for leadership for a nonprofit organization, and we joked that one of our criteria was that the people we would ask would not want to do it. People who don’t want the spotlight often end up being better leaders. People who crave attention usually don’t deserve it. I was reminded of this when I read the story of Nicholas Winton. Winton grew up in a British Jewish family that later converted to Christianity. In 1938 he decided to forego a ski holiday in Switzerland to go to Prague to help a friend who was involved with Jewish refugee work. After Kristallnacht, when the Nazis started overt persecution of the Jews, Winton single-handedly set up an aid organization to transport Austrian Jewish children to Britain, arranging for families to look after them once they
The Good Earth: Lifestyles - It’s that time again, Gentle Reader. The “spring” garden shows are soon to be up and running in full force. (All of the shows mentioned here have active websites.) In fact, Kingston hosted both The Eastern Ontario Home & Cottage Expo Eastern Ontario Boat, Powersports and RV Show a few weekends ago. I confess that as a gardener, there was not much to attract me. (The booths by Scott Wentworth Landscape Group and Signature Landscape Concepts, of course, were the exceptions as well as the greenery provided by Willowlee Sod.) But I did run into a chap who believes the Kingston Spring Fling Garden Festival, or something similer, might be in the cards for
ment, the Austrian government, and the Israeli government. He was even touchingly reunited on a television documentary with dozens of the children that he rescued. At 104 years of age Winton has outlived many of the children that he saved. And yet he never desired fame or recognition. He did it because he felt compelled to. He couldn’t NOT do it. I wonder, though, if one of the reasons he couldn’t come forward was that even though he saved 669, the 250 who didn’t make it still haunted him. I remember the end of Schindler’s List, when Oskar Schindler was overwhelmed with the thought that if he had just sold a few more possessions he could have saved dozens more. Or there is Charles Mulli, a Kenyan who opened a children’s home initially for a dozen children, and now cares for more than 3000. When he goes into the
slums, though, he’s still overwhelmed by the need. Real heroes don’t look for fame, because real heroes pay the price. It’s not a game about fame or fortune; it’s a real life struggle to do what’s right, to stand up to evil, to make a real difference in the midst of heartbreaking circumstances. It means opening yourself up to true tragedy. That is never easy. Winton was and is a real hero, and his story deserves to be told, far more than whether or not Jennifer Aniston is pregnant or whether or not another Kardashian is getting a divorce. The things that our culture cares about are a measure of that culture. We are a petty culture, and yet amongst us there are still calm, quiet giants. It behooves us to wade through all of our silly noise and take time listen to their very important stories.
Garden shows coming soon
next year. For sure, that is exciting news because the old show has been missed. I hope to be able to advertise it in this column next spring. For Ottawa folk, or those of you in the eastern hinterlands of EMC coverage, there is the Ottawa Home and Garden Show, 20-23 March, which currently has 47 listings under the garden, landscape section. In our area, March 28-30 brings us the Quinte Home and Renovation Show. This Belleville show had double the number of landscape companies exhibiting of the Kingston Show last year.

arrived. Most of those children’s parents later perished in Auschwitz, but 669 children made it to Britain. Tragically, the last train that was scheduled to leave, full of 250 little ones, never made it. Those children were sent to Auschwitz instead. Winton had to contend with physical danger in Austria, red tape in Britain, and trouble in the Netherlands to get the kids to safety, but he persevered with no resources except his own determination. What hit me most about his story, though, other than the amazing heroism, was the fact that he never told anybody. In 1988, his wife Grete was rooting through the attic when she came across his famous ledger where he had taken painstaking notes about the identity and whereabouts of all of the children. She went public and Winton has since been honoured by the British govern-
number of landscaping and gardening companies. This show is held April 25-27. Sometimes, though, the green industry companies get lost amidst a sea of vinyl, lumber and recreational gizmos. This year, consider dropping out to Connon Nurseries, a garden nursery in Bayside, for their 4th Annual Landscape and Garden Design Expo. Twelve local companies will have booths and product reps will be available for expert advice. In past years I would refer to the Peterborough Garden Show as an up and coming event but I can’t do that anymore. If you are a gardener and I mean a real gardener, then this is a show for you. April 11-13. The big show is Canada Blooms in Toronto which runs from March 14-23. As with the other events list-
ed here, you can go to the website to get a taste of what is waiting for you. This year’s theme is “Wild”, connecting people to nature. The list of gardens is exciting and certainly, for me, the highlight of any show. I know I am displaying a bias here but there are three “booths” that are on my must visit list. The first is the Landscape Ontario exhibit, a collaborative effort on the part of literally hundreds of members of Landscape Ontario, all from different companies coming together to show our collective expertise and imagination. The second is the Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds. Theirs is the easiest booth to find; just follow the sounds of kids playing. The third is Shibui Landscaping’s exhibit.

Reality Check:
Peewee Bulls win two
Sports – Belleville – Belleville’s Quinte Children’s Homes Peewee Select Bulls hockey team had another strong showing this past weekend, winning at home against Napanee on Saturday, and then beating Ajax at its rink on Sunday. Anticipating another onesided game on Saturday, coach Lisk decided to mix up his lines to give the team more of a challenge against Napanee. With forwards playing defence, and defence playing offence – the team learned some respect for their fellow teammates – as they simply had a hard time scoring.
They still managed a 5 – 1 win, thanks to goaltenders Tristin Muir and Dylan Dainard who kept their team in the game. All of the Belleville goals came in the third period when the players were back to their regular positions. Noah Bertrand’s hat trick helped as did Garrett Boldrick and Karma Matho’s goals. Assists went to Tyler Lee and a pair to Nate Lasher. Sunday’s game in Ajax was complete end-to-end action for three periods. Despite the cold arena, fans kept warm by cheering and clapping. It
was Chris Kerr’s turn for a hat trick, with single goals going to Kelly Sparling, Eric Silvestri and Noah Bertrand in this 6 – 5 win. Hard earned assists went to Erik Silvestri (2), Matthew Kirkpatrick, Taylor Parks (2), Tyler Lee, Karma Matho, Chris Kerr, Aidan Delong, Floranne Carroll and Nathan Lasher. Both Dylan Dainard and Tristin Muir stood tall in nets throughout, as the Belleville team survived several minutes of a five-on-three shorthanded situation, followed by six-onfour play at the end of the third period.

Wheeler who received a beautiful pass from Marshall Mcfarland. Wheeler split the defence and made a move to open the goalie’s legs and buried it five-hole. Quinte’s second goal came on the power play when Jaxen Boyer fed the puck to Mack Morrish. Morrish fired the puck on goal and Joshua Quick tipped it by the Generals’ netminder to make it 2 - 0. Quinte’s Adam Thistlethwaite then made it 3 - 0 when he muscled his way through the offensive zone and ripped home a shot in the top corner. In goal was Ethan Mcdonnell who only had eight shots on goal but was stellar for the work he faced.

Bulls win two in a row
Sports – Belleville – It may have taken Wellington native Alex Yuill 23 games to score his first goal with the Belleville Bulls, but scoring it in front of a raucous crowd of 2,561 hometown fans on Saturday night at
the Yardmen Arena is a memory he won’t soon forget. “It’s unbelievable,” he said after the game. “That’s a special one for sure.” Yuill scored the opening goal in a 3-1 Bulls win over the Owen Sound Attack on
Got Events?
Saturday night, a game which saw Bulls starting goaltender Charlie Graham put on a solid performance with a 28-save effort. Bulls forward Cameron Brace added a second-period goal against his old club, and winger Chad Heffernan potted his fourth goal in four games for the Bulls, who put together back-to-back wins for the first time this season following a 5-3 win over Peterborough on February 13. “(Winning) is why you play,” said Graham after the game. “To make two in a row here is great, and hopefully we can build on it.” The Bulls were quick out of the gate against Owen Sound, applying substantial pressure on the Attack net in the opening minutes and it soon paid dividends. After Owen Sound netminder Brandon Hope gave up a rebound on an Aaron Berisha shot, the puck made its

his 21st goal of the year. Carrying a 2-0 lead the Bulls looked to contain the Attack offense for much of the second, allowing 11 shots but yielding few scoring chances as the two teams headed for intermission. The Attack remained within striking distance as the second period opened trailing by just two goals, but Belleville quickly put the game out of reach in the third. Heffernan scored his eighth goal of the year and fourth in four games just under three minutes into the period, and a late goal by Owen Sound
in the final minute was as close as they would come, finally falling 3-1. Despite the win, the Bulls still face an uphill battle to reach the playoffs this season. Through 55 games the Bulls sport a 17-33-3-2 record, and trail the Ottawa 67’s by five points for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. “It’s going to be a tight push to the playoffs,” Graham said. “I think we’re right in it, it’s just going to be who’s playing their best hockey right now.”
NCC advances to boys basketball finals
Sports - Bay of Quinte finals are drawing ever closer for boy’s high school basketball, and this past week four local teams squared off in semi-final matchups to determine who would battle it out for the championship. In Belleville, the Nicholson Catholic College Crusaders played host to the PECI Panthers on Thursday night in the first junior semi-final game. Led by Calum Bechervaise’s 17 points, the Crusaders effectively pressured the Panthers offense into making a number of key turnovers on the way to a 41-30 victory. Mark Coates and Brendan Fredericks each added nine points of their own for the Crusaders, and Mitchell Whitley had four.

Owen Sound would come close to equalizing after Jaden Lindo’s shot rang off the post, but the Bulls limited the Attack to just seven shots in the opening frame and led 1-0 through 20 minutes. Both teams increased their physical presence in the second period with big hits on both ends of the ice, but Belleville was getting the better off the possession and soon took advantage. Bulls second-leading scorer Cameron Brace was the recipient of a long, long feed from forward Stephen Harper, who flipped the puck up the ice from inside his own defensive zone, and Brace made no mistake by driving hard to the net and scoring on the backhand,

traded baskets, but the turning point came when NCC coach Tim Coates turned to the full-court press to pressure the PECI ball handlers. Unable to easily advance the ball past half court, the Panthers struggled to find a rhythm on offense for much of the game, and frequently turned the ball over. Meanwhile, Bechervaise and Fredericks were firing wide-open three-pointers from all over the court for the Crusaders, who used good ball movement to always find the open shooter. With the Crusaders leading by ten in the closing minutes, NCC took advantage of a lack of a shot clock to pass the ball back and forth between players to kill time, eventually easing themselves to the 41-30 victory. Kevin Wilson led all PECI scorers with 12 points. In the other junior semi-final matchup, St. Theresa Secondary School bested Quinte Secondary School by a score of 42-26, while on the senior side NCC and PECI will square off for the title after 34-23 and 48-29 victories over Centennial Secondary School and St. Theres’as, respectively. Box scores from those games were not available.

Cameron continued to stone Kingston shooters on defense, and Quinteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third goal of the period by Smith was an absolute back breaker for the Frontenacs. Sheppard added another goal for Quinte in the third period, and Cameron just barely missed his shutout bid in the closing minutes, and the Red Devils came away with the 6-1 win. Up next for Quinte is a secondround playoff matchup with the winner of Barrie vs. York/Simcoe series.

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Belleville â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoff season for the Quinte Red Devils AAA bantam squad, and this past week the local club passed their ďŹ rst test with a clean 3-0 sweep of the Kingston Frontenacs in their ďŹ rst round playoff matchup. The Red Devils entered Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre with a commanding 2-0 lead in their best-of-ďŹ ve series, and led by captain Brady Gilmourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two goals the Red Devils put on a dominant performance en route to a series-clinching 6-1 victory. Red Devils forward Ryan Smith added a goal and an assist, and Scoley Dow, Domenic Della Civita, Shelby Rienstra, Mackenzie Warren, Jakob Brahaney and Tanner Sheppard all picked up points in the win. It was all Quinte early in the ďŹ rst period, with shots coming from all angles on the Kingston netminder. Warren nearly opened the scoring just three
minutes in when his shot rang off the post, but the Red Devils wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to wait much longer to take the lead. After a Kingston turnover, Gilmour would ďŹ nd the puck near his own blueline, and after charging down the ice and making a move to get past a defender he snapped home a wrist shot to give Quinte a 1-0 advantage. Two minutes later Rienstra added to the lead, potting home a quick shot on a breakaway for Quinteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second goal of the ďŹ rst period. Thanks to stout defensive play and strong goaltending from Aidan Cameron, the Red Devils would head to the intermission leading 2-0. A suffocating Red Devils defense was giving Kingston all sorts of trouble in the second period, and on offense Quinte continued to impress. Gilmour scored his second goal of the match just over a minute into the frame, and after Warren scored a on a hard slapshot from the point Kingston was deďŹ nitely in trouble staring at a 4-0 deďŹ cit.

Patrol personnel are much more than just rescuers
By Ross Lees
News – Batawa – Fifteen people from 8 Wing have found a unique way to give back to the community and improve their own skills. These individuals are members of the Canadian Ski Patrol (CSP) and ply their trade as volunteers at the Batawa Ski Hill just north of Trenton. The 15 military members vary from experienced SAR Techs to first-year members just learning the ropes of the CSP, which is charged with the safety of skiers and snowboarders on Canadian ski hills. One of the volunteer patrollers is Maj. Darryl Rolfe, Commander of the Trenton Air Cadet Summer Training Centre (TACSTC), who also happens to be the Vice-president Administrator for the Frontenac Zone of the CSP and a first aid instructor in on-snow rescues. A lifeguard in the past, he became involved with the CSP for many of the same reasons others get involved – he believes in community involvement, he likes helping people, and he gets to practice a number of skills. A skier for well over 20 years, he decided to get more involved because his two sons were beginning to ski. “We’re individuals who have careers in other areas,” Maj. Rolfe noted of the CSP volunteers who patrol the Batawa Ski Hill. “We make contributions where we can but we also enjoy what we do. I felt this was a great way for me to have my own thing going on – a circle of friends, a purpose for being there and an opportunity to meet the public.” Maj. Rolfe describes the CSP volunteers as ambassadors of the hill and a focal point of safety when people need a hand on the ski hill. For those with the romantic illusion that it’s all high profile rescue work, think again. According to Maj. Rolfe, assisting people day-to-day can be anything from teaching them how to ride the chair-lift, or how to get a ski back on to a cut hand or, sometimes, that call when someone has sustained a serious injury on the hill. “From the ski hill management side of it, we’re often the face people inter-

act with the most,” stated Maj. Rolfe. “We’re often the ones to notify if there is a hazard on the hill. We like to ski and we want to keep skiing, so whatever we can prevent, we do. We want everybody to have a positive experience on the hill and come back.” Aside from members from 8 Wing, CSP volunteers at Batawa may include police officers, paramedics, Loyal-
ist College employees or students, an ER doctor, an Army reservist from the Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment, a member of the Army Staff College in Kingston or even retirees. But make no mistake, you don’t just decide to become a CSP volunteer and hit the slopes right off the mark. Nor is this everyone’s best chance at some free skiing. If you get involved, you may
find yourself committed year-round in one way or another. New CSP applicants are recruited in August or early September. As part of their training they complete an advanced first aid course (60 hours) along with a full CPR course. Whether you are a new member or a returning one, every CSP member (paid or volunteer) has to complete the CPR
course, the national exam and participate in field-day exercises, which subjects them to scenarios out in the open. These experiences present a realistic learning environment, as each member of the team will have to deal with weather conditions along with injured patient(s). “As soon as the snow flies, we do Please see “Canadian” on page B3

OPP warn snowmobilers to stay off Trent River
News – Campbellford – Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the Trent Hills Fire Department (THFD) are issuing a warning to snowmobiles users to remain off the Trent River in Campbellford. The winter of 2014 has sent large quantities of snowfall to the Northumberland area and this has made for ideal conditions for snowmobile use on area trails. Recently, users of snowmobiles have been seen travelling at night along the Trent River in the town core in the village Campbellford under the Bridge Street Bridge and near the power dam at Trent Drive. Police and Fire officers are concerned about this as there is potential for open water in these areas as the water and ice conditions are changing daily and are unpredictable. Unsuspecting snowmobilers may be putting themselves in jeopardy if they come into this area not aware of what is ahead. OPP and fire officials are asking
that people stay off the Trent River at all times to avoid unnecessary injury or potential loss of life. If snowmobilers are in these areas and become involved in situation that requires assistance, it will take OPP and firefighters considerable time to perform a rescue, as easy access to the river is not available and a significant distance must be travelled from a suitable access entrance point with their equipment. Here are some tips for safe snowmobiling from the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) and the OPP: No ice is safe Ice: It is never 100 per cent safe to snowmobile on ice. Snowmobilers must avoid unnecessary risks and stay on available land-based OFSC trails whenever possible. If you make the personal choice to travel by ice on snowmobile, wait until a marked stake line is in place and cross only when you can follow directly from shore to shore, without stopping on the ice. Night riding: Nine out of ten fa-

talities occur after dark. Slow down and do not overdrive your headlights. Becoming lost or disoriented is much more likely at night. Wear reflective clothing. Never ride alone at night. Always dress in appropriate snowmobile gear even if your intended destination is just next door. Practice zero alcohol” Alcohol is involved in over 70 per cent of snowmobiling fatalities. Even small amounts of alcohol can impair your perception, slow your reaction time and limit your ability to control your sled at that critical moment when your life is in the balance. The Criminal Code for impaired driving applies to snowmobiles as well and carries the same penalties as a car or other motor vehicles. Impaired driving is the number one leading cause of criminal death in Canada. For more information please visit www.ofsc.on.ca or www.opp. ca to learn more about safe snowmobiling and ice safety tips.
Canadian Ski Patrol finds special way to give back

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What sets us apart from the Red Cross is that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just do the care, we do the evacuation as well.â&#x20AC;? Capt. Gillian Parker, a first-year member of the CSP from 424 Squadron at 8 Wing got involved because she heard a number of other squadron personnel were members, because she was looking for a way to get involved in the community and because her sister was a member of the CSP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want to give back to the community, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way of socializing as well,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you get to learn First Aid. Pretty much all of the rea-
sons everybody else has for coming out.â&#x20AC;? A typical shift for a patroller starts with checking their equipment. They make sure the toboggan is complete with supplies in place and in good shape. After that they position the toboggans and do a sweep of the hill to make sure everything is all right, that the hill is clear and the barriers are in place so that the ďŹ rst passenger up the chairlift will have a safe skiing experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What sets us apart from the Red Cross is that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just do the care, we do the evacuation as well,â&#x20AC;? Maj. Rolfe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The paramedics come to the hill, but we bring the patient to the advanced care.â&#x20AC;? Batawa Ski Hill General Manager Andrew Rusynyk appreciates the efforts of the CSP volunteers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen significant growth in the CSP this year and a lot of those The Canadian Ski Patrol makes sure the hill is safe for the first and last skipeople are from the base, which is ers down the hill on any given day. Photo: Ross Lees fantastic,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people at the base are a huge base of guests we would like to attract to the hill.â&#x20AC;? Which is why the Batawa Ski Hill has created a 911 and Military Appreciation day on Thursdays of every week this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throughout the season on Thursdays, anybody who is part of 911 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether it be EMS, firefighters, police or the military â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can come out here and get basically 50 per cent off our unlimited ticket, which is from morning to night. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty keen on getting these people and their families out. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been one of our big focuses this year to try to improve the family fun experience for people. We know there are a lot of young families who come to the base, and we want to make them aware weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here. Our biggest problem is to get people out.â&#x20AC;?

on-snow rescue training so they (the volunteers) can show us they can ski. We (also) teach toboggan handling and incident scene handling and then theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re generally considered qualified to start patrolling the slopes,â&#x20AC;? noted Maj. Rolfe. Patrollers must be a minimum of 18 years old, pay an average of $250 each year to be a member of the CSP, and cover the cost of their own uniform and first aid kit or vest, which when combined can cost approximately $500. During the off-season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; May through to August â&#x20AC;&#x201C; patrollers often remain busy providing first aid services at many non-skiing events including marathons, bike races, fundraising events, sporting tournaments, concerts, etc.

TRAVEL
by John M. Smith
Curious about the Caribbean’s Curacao
Lifestyles - My wife and I have had the good fortune to travel to several islands in the Caribbean, and this year’s trip was to yet another new one for us, Curacao. Indeed, we like to seek out new destinations each time as there are just so many intriguing places to visit, so we decided to travel to one of the smaller and arguably less known Caribbean islands. I even discovered that some of my acquaintances didn’t seem to be particularly familiar with this destination, so I’d have to tell them that, “It’s near Aruba” or “It’s just off the coast of Venezuela” and then they’d understand where we were going. Or, if they had heard of Curacao already, it was as “The place with all the colourful houses” for photos of the capital city’s brightly coloured buildings seem to appear in almost every tourism ad. Indeed, the beautiful Dutch colonial architecture is definitely a highlight of Willemstad, the capital city, and any visitor to Curacao will certainly want to check this out. I, of course, took several photos of these colorful waterfront properties. We also crossed the pedestrian pontoon bridge, the Queen Emma Bridge that separates two city districts, Punda and Otrabanda, so that we could explore more of this fascinating city centre, which has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We discovered lots of shopping opportunities along the waterfront of St. Anna Bay. However, we found out that this intriguing city had much more to of-
fer including the oldest continuously operating synagogue in the Western Hemisphere (the Mikvé Israel-Emanuel Synagogue), the Jewish Cultural Historical Museum (attached to the synagogue), the Pietermaai Cathedral (the island’s largest Roman Catholic church), the Curacao Museum located in a renovated 1853 hospital, the Curacao Maritime Museum with its unique maps, charts, and nautical equipment, the Kura Hurlanda Museum which traces the history of the slave trade in this area, Rif Fort, originally used as a defense for the harbour entry and now housing shops, restaurants, and a gallery, and Fort Amsterdam, now used as the governor’s home. We were also impressed by the city’s towering Queen Juliana Bridge (the tallest in the Caribbean) and its immense oil refinery. After all, since Willemstad is located so close to Venezuela’s oilfields, its harbour has become the largest oil handling port in the Caribbean. We travelled with Sunwing (www. sunwing.ca), on a direct five-hour flight from Toronto, and the flight times were a factor in our decision to check out Curacao, for we were able to be at our resort for lunch on the first day of our vacation and arrive back in Toronto in the early evening on the last day. We stayed at the Sunscape Curacao Resort Spa & Casino, which is less than half an hour from the airport and the only truly all inclusive on this island. Some other resorts include meal deals, but not all drinks, entertainment, etc. It’s located close

to Willemstad and many of the island’s main attractions. For example, it was only about a ten minute stroll down the street to the Curacao Sea Aquarium Park, where one can watch sea lions in training, enjoy an encounter with stingrays and turtles, or even feed a shark. Here one will also find the Dolphin Academy Curacao, where one can participate in several interactive programs with the coastal bottlenose dolphins. One of the things that we particularly liked about our resort was that it had four a la carte specialty restaurants, and it wasn’t necessary to make reservations for any of them. We simply lined up and we, of course, just had to try them all! One of the disappointments was that the resort’s beach area was relatively small, so there were no long walks available along the beach from property to property as there can be at some other Caribbean destinations. Also, some sections of the beach were rocky, so wearing protective water shoes would be helpful. However, the resort’s protective cove was a great place for snorkeling and Curacao is generally a wonderful destination for this activity and for deep sea diving. It has many intriguing coves and inlets with crystal-clear water. You’ll also find caves, coral reefs, and sponge formations and an abundance of colourful tropical fish. A two-hour boat ride will take one to the nearby deserted island of Klein Curacao (Little Curacao), where one will find an exquisite sandy beach and a lighthouse. Some tour companies offer day trips here for a great escape from the hustle and bustle. One of our favourite activities was the short Sunwing Bon Bini tour of the island. Bon Bini means welcome. Our very competent and cheerful guide, Danielle, provided us with lots of information on this introductory tour, which included stops in Willemstad and visits to Caribbean Handicrafts, the main supplier to most island souvenir shops and to the home of the Blue Curacao
Liqueur where we, of course, had to sample the products. We also encountered great photo ops of Spanish Bay and Table Mountain. Danielle said that we might like to sample some of the local foods while on the island, including an entire fried fish (head and all), stuffed cheese (a cheese casserole), cactus soup, and stewed goat or iguana. Curacao is home to many wild goats, iguanas, lizards, and tropical birds and, like the neighbouring island of Aruba, there are many cacti and
divi-divi trees bent by the prevailing winds. We also discovered that Curaçao gets its water from the sea, and the world’s largest desalination plant is located here producing safe tap water. This was very reassuring. We also liked the fact that this destination seemed less commercial and Americanized than some of the other Caribbean islands, making for a more authentic or real island experience.

Bay of Quinte Federal Liberals announce the“Year for Women in Politics” program
News – The newly formed Bay of Quinte Federal Liberal Riding Association is pleased to present the strong voices of women in Canadian life. The “Year for Women in Politics “is a unique program to showcase women speakers. As part of this initiative, the association has committed to have women headline all the association’s events in 2014, including the popular four part Bridge Forum Speaker Series, which is returning this spring and autumn for its third year after another successful program last year. Belleville Director Rhea Pretsell pointed out her concern that “only 25
per cent of seats in the 2011 election were won by women, even though women form 50.4 per cent of the population in Canada.” She continued, “In spite of formal barriers being removed, discrimination and hidden barriers still prevent many women from seeking candidacy for political office.” President John Brisbois announced: “With our initiative this year, we are ensuring that women’s voices are being heard in the riding, and also that there is a welcoming atmosphere for women to get more involved.” The Year for Women in Politics will kick off at the third annual Heritage Din-

She states in her report that the group purchased new computers for patrons, a license for “Overdrive” along with many other needed items. Volunteers helped inventory over 18,000 books throughout the Christmas holidays. She said those books in poor condition or which did not circulate were removed to make way for new material. Adams stated in her report to the board February 4 that membership continues to grow and casual visits to use services is also up. Events throughout 2013 included a visit from the Dinosaur Lady, children’s author Heather Rankin, Food for Fines to support the local food bank, and the TD Summer Reading Club. As a result of partnering with Centre Hastings a Game Club was initiated which now meets the first and third Thursday of each month. The library has also taken on hosting members of the Madoc C.O.P.E. program, and continues to be a contact location for Service Canada. Financial support comes from contributions by the Municipality of Centre Hastings, the Township of Madoc and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. This year the library received two small Capacity Building grants from the Ministry and funding from Canada Summer Jobs for the Summer Assistant program. Adams also reports Tina Booth was hired on this year as the new custodian and is doing well in the position. At the beginning of the year, long time librarian/CEO Susan Smith retired and was given a surprise party at the library, which also served to introduce Adams to local supporters. Adams concluded her report by thanking the Board of Directors, staff, patrons and volunteers for assisting with transition into her role in the library community.

OFA vice hopes to open dialogue with farmers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agriculture is one of the sectors that is most rapid to adopt new innovation and new opportunities and new research, and a lot of the time that does mean that less labour is required on the farm ... We have issues with regards to being able to keep people employed, because with technology one person can do more and more.â&#x20AC;? McCabe also points to conflicts between city centres and farmers as being a major challenge facing Ontario farmers in the coming years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is certainly an issue of urban sprawl, especially around our city centres,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Therefore itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the issue of understanding that people are taking up some of our prime agricultural land for these houses, and what impact will this have on the future.â&#x20AC;?
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully this is a dialogue that carries on for much more than one evening.â&#x20AC;? Local farmers and interested members of the public are invited to take part in a special speaking engagement with OFA vice-president Don McCabe, organized by the Hastings Stewardship Council and the Hastings Federation of Agriculture for February 27.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Belleville â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When the vice president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) Don McCabe visits Belleville later this month for a special speaking engagement organized by the Hastings Stewardship Council and the Hastings Federation of Agriculture, he has one clear goal in mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see where we can go to open a dialogue,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully this
is a dialogue that carries on for much more than one evening.â&#x20AC;? Farmers and interested members of the public alike are invited to attend the presentation, which takes place on Thursday, Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. at the Township of Thurlow Community Centre. McCabe, a corn, soybean and wheat producer in Lambton County says he plans to touch on a wide range of issues and policies related to the ever-
changing agricultural landscape, and also invites public input and discussion on the issues of urban sprawl, changing technology, how Ontario farmers interact with the environment, the management of water, environmental goods and services, and climate change among other things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rate of change seems to be faster as the years go on, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partly due to technology,â&#x20AC;?

McCabe is no stranger to speaking engagements across the province, but said a large part of the presentation is focused on input from locals, and hearing about their stance on common issues facing the agricultural industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an issue of knowledge sharing, and at the same time knowledge gathering, because the OFA has worked hard to create policy based on stakeholder input and the environment in Ontario is one where farmers have active participation,â&#x20AC;? he said.
Environmental issues are a major part of changing policy, and as part of the presentation McCabe said he also plans on outlining aspects of the Environmental Farm Plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to ensure that we listen,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that people find some value in attending the event, and hope they take the opportunity to participate.â&#x20AC;? There is no cost for the event, but donations will be accepted at the door. For further information, please contact Matt Caruana at The Hastings Stewardship Council at 613-391-9034 or email info@hastingsstewardship.ca.

God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered “come to me”. With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away, and although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating hard, working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best. Love always and missed dearly Barb, Mark & Lorrie, Tammy & Jamie, Grandchildren Brittany and Travis, Mackenzie, Luke and Mellissa and Jessica His loyal and faithful companions Kallie Lee and Amber Ann
