Firefighters pick up generous food bank donations

By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West – The food banks are very happy.

“Thanks to everybody for their donations,” said Batawa Station #5 Quinte West firefighter captain Rick Van Vaals. “Everyone was really generous.”

Firefighters collected donations for three cold nights December 8, 9, 10, through Glen Miller, Glen Ross, Pine Acres, Batawa and north of Frankford to bring in food for four needy food banks. This included the Trenton Care and Share, the Frankford Lions Christmas Sharing, Stirling food bank and the Frankford Pantry (organized by four local churches).

“There were a couple of cold nights,” smiled Van Vaals. “We didn’t mind. It’s all for a good cause.”

The fire fighters put out the collection bags on doorsteps ahead of time, reminding residents of the food drive and that Santa would be collecting the donations.

News - Quinte West – The Dundas Street Pumping Station upgrade tender has been awarded to BGL Contractors at a cost of $697,916.25.

“The budget for this work was $750,000,” notes Matt Tracey, manager of Water and Wastewater Services. “The project will begin shortly and is scheduled for completion in May, 2014.”

Tracey added that the restoration work at the treatment plant is well underway. The drywall is complete and painting is underway.

In November, 1,986 cubic metres of biosolids were removed from the treatment plant and applied on certified farmland. In addition, 966 cubic metres of biosolids were transferred to a certified offsite storage facility and will be land applied in the spring of 2014.

“The season came to an end really quick with the snow,” he said.

Tracey also reported that the annual MOE inspection of Batawa Water Treatment plant took place on November 26 and the new chlorination equipment was commissioned and put into place at the Frankford/Batawa Water Treatment plant on November 14.

At Frankford Waste Water Treatment Plant, Tracey reports that phase two upgrades are generally complete with some minor cleanup items to finalize. The generator installation project for two pumping stations started December 3 and generators are scheduled to be delivered in early January. In November, 539 cubic metres were hauled from the treatment plant and land applied on certified farmland.

In Trenton Water Treatment plant a new filter inlet valve has been installed. The roof was replaced at Mount Pelion booster station due to a wind storm on November 1. Leonard Avenue reconstruction is substantially complete with final topsoil and sod to be completed in the spring.

Wastewater Treatment Plant is city’s largest capital investment News - Quinte West – The expansion and upgrade of Trenton’s Wastewater Treatment Plant is projected to cost over $71.2 million.

“This is our largest capital investment,” says Chris Angelo, manager of Public Works and Environmental Services.

He said it is extremely important that they choose the consultant with expertise and optimization of equipment. “The best is not necessarily the cheapest,” he added. “We will save money in the long run.”

Through a formal evaluation process, the city chose JL Richards and Associates as the more experienced team, specifically for design and construction. The design costs proposed

by JLR represent $3.7 million that will be spent over the next couple of years.

The project is expected to span over seven years. Angelo noted this company has worked with the city before and been on time and under budget.

Public Works staff: director Chris Angelo, Jim Turner, manager of Outdoor Operations, Tim Colasante, manager of Engineering Services and Matt Tracey, manager of Water and Wastewater Services.

Jim Harrison added that the company can also help the city in getting government funding for the project. The city has just been turned down for $2 million from the province through the Small, Rural and Northern Municipal Infrastructure Fund. The province stated that 350 applications were received and the city did not pass the pre-screen “primarily because other applicants with highly critical projects had more challenging economic conditions as measured by property assessments and incomes.”

“This was a key element in the evaluation process,” Angelo said.

Matt Tracey, manager of Water and Wastewater Services, added that JLT has worked with them in Trenton and Frankford plants and has an excellent reference check.

Don Kuntze commented he was very disappointed that the provincial government said no to the funding. He asked if staff has any plans to contact

NOTICE OF STEP-DOWN City of Quinte West W.P. 4094-07-00

THE STUDY Morrison Hershfield Limited has been retained by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to conduct a Detail Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study for the rehabilitation of the Trent River Bridge, Site 11-185, along Highway 401 in the City of Quinte West.

KEY PLAN Rehabilitation of the Trent River Bridge will include structural coating. Traffic management measures include long-term shoulder closures on Highway 401 and the temporary closure of auxiliary lanes and temporary realignment of thru-lanes on Trenton-Frankford Road/Highway 33 (below the bridge), to facilitate the rehabilitation underneath the structure. All works will be limited to the underside of the structure.

This study started as a Group ‘B’ project under the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). Through mitigation and design, potential environmental impacts have been reduced such that proposed works will not result in any significant environmental or property impacts. Based on these considerations, the MTO is proposing to ‘step-down’ the Trent River Bridge Rehabilitation to a Group ‘C’ project. An Environmental Screening Document will be prepared for MTO internal use.

MTO is interested in receiving any comments or concerns you may have regarding this project or the decision to step-down from a Group ‘B’ to a Group ‘C’ project. During the 30-day public review period from December 19, 2013 to January 20, 2014, any individual may request MTO to reconsider the decision and continue to classify the study as a Group ‘B’ project. Please contact the following Project Team members by January 20, 2014 for further information or to request MTO to reconsider the step-down decision.

Practical wife, easy life

By Terry Bush Editorial - As I see the hustle and bustle of Christmas all around me, I can’t help but feel I get off pretty easy every year. Christmas shopping is now a breeze and that’s mainly thanks to my practical wife.

As the Netherlanders in my family have mentioned many times, I’m Dutch by marriage. When Adriana and Cornelius Van Leeuwen arrived in Canada with three little kids in tow, they didn’t have a thimble let alone the proverbial pot to...well, you know the rest of that mildly profane saying. They were practical and frugal and that way of thinking was thoroughly embedded in their children’s psyches. Family mattered most and when little Marianneke came along as the first child born in Canada, she was cut from the same cloth.

I have the opposite problem that most people have. I never know what to get my wife for Christmas because she doesn’t give a hoot about presents. Family matters, presents don’t.

I try to be sly about it every December, making sure I have all the sales flyers neatly piled when she sits down to browse them on Saturday mornings. I watch patiently as she goes through them one by one and when she finishes, I say, “So, did you see anything you liked this week?” ... my subtle way of probing her mind for something, anything that can be wrapped and placed under the tree. Usually I get nowhere fast using this approach and she doesn’t realize what I’m up to until I shake my fist at her.

So, this year I came right out and asked her, “What do you want for Christmas?” Not that I anticipated getting a sufficient answer. I never do and this year was no different.

“Oh, just to get together with family would be great.”

It’s pretty hard to wrap up the family and put them under one’s tree. Just to wrap up her six-foot tall brother would defeat the purpose of saving a few bucks with a practical gift. It would take three rolls of wrapping paper to cover his middle now that he’s retired. He’s over 60 too so we’ll have to cut him a little slack. The old metabolism isn’t what it used to be and most of us over 50 can attest to that.

Lately we’ve been setting a $25 limit on Christmas gifts but usually one of us tends to go a little overboard. Two years ago, Mare went over the limit and my offerings looked pretty lame by comparison. Last year I got my revenge by spending ten times the limit on a present she would never ask for or buy herself, but loved nonetheless.

And this year, we’re doing what we usually do. All I want for Christmas is another trip and she wants the same thing. We’ve become totally predictable in that respect. We go out for supper maybe once a year. We don’t take any weekend vacations, because we love where we live. We spend money on the necessities and not much on anything else. So when all is said and done, we probably spend what a normal person would during the course of a year except we spend it all at once to further our educations.

Trouble is, once again, the promise of a trip is pretty hard to wrap so it’s a gift that does have its drawbacks. What if the trip doesn’t take place for another six months? What if someone gets sick and can’t go? That would make it a pretty lame Christmas present.

But like I said, I have a very practical wife who’s easily satisfied. She did marry me after all.

And after almost 29 years of marriage, there’s always one present that puts a Christmas smile on Mare’s face and it doesn’t cost me a dime. I gave it to her on Saturday night when I usually watch Hockey Night in Canada. It’s been in the planning stage for weeks.

As we sat by the fire in front of the television, I pretended to show my generous side, telling Mare to watch whatever she wanted. I’d be happy to watch the last two periods of the hockey game that usually puts her to sleep. I’d already programmed the television for 8 p.m. but didn’t say a word.

When the channel changed automatically, she said nothing but 40 seconds later her eyes got wide and she smiled from ear to ear.

“Rudoff,” she squealed as she reverted to her six-year-old self.

I chuckled as I headed off to check my email listening to her sing along with Burl Ives. Hearing her excited child-like voice joining in on every song, I couldn’t resist anymore and sat down to watch it with her.

“That’s not very nice,” she scolded as the other reindeer wouldn’t let Rudolf join in. “What do you mean, this is no place for women,” she glared at Rudolf’s father, the way she does every year. And of course she had to call her 90-year-old mother on Sunday morning to tell her all about Rudolf the RedNosed Reindeer.

It was officially Christmas at our place. We have three Christmas gatherings lined up and as an added bonus, Mare mentioned that her pillow was getting a little flat. One gift buy and none to wrap. Merry Christmas to me.

News – Stirling – Council once again confronted the issue of policing costs, supporting a motion put forward by councillors in Seguin Township to abolish the new billing model for the OPP. With the new pricing model proposed for 2015, Seguin would see annual costs triple, from $592,000 to more than

$1.7 million, and council there calls the model “fundamentally flawed, unfair and inequitable.” And while the OPP formula is not used for local policing, Mayor Rodney Cooney says it is the same formula that will see provincial funding, now amounting to $800,000 per year, disappear from the municipality entirely.

The new formula, he says, will result in a loss of $370,000 next year with further funding cuts expected in the two following years. Cooney told council it was his understanding that, “if you’re not (policed by) OPP, you’re not getting (a commitment to future funding) from the province.” And in the end, he says, the entire Stirling-Rawdon police budget currently at $1.6 million will be borne by local ratepayers.

Stirling-Rawdon Clerk Charles Croll told council it was one of several similar requests, with many municipalities under 10,000 people “are having trouble meeting the proposed billing.”

Council agreed unanimously to support the motion.

The installation of more than 800 water meters in residences in the village is proving to be less expensive than first expected. Councilor Bob Mullin says the program is going extremely well with more than 550 meters installed and few problems encountered to date.

Handled by municipal staff, those involved “have done an excellent job,” he says, with costs so far standing at about $400,000 or half the money budgeted for the entire job.

Asset Management Plan

Council is also putting the final touches on its Asset Management Plan which, like the water meter installation, will be a requirement for future funding, says Mayor Cooney.

Graves in the cemetery along

Volunteer groups have placed flower arrangements near the fence.

“It is a beautiful cemetery to walk through,” Virginia smiled.

It costs about $25- to $30,000 a

The duties of secretary-treasurer include selling graves, administration of files, selling cornerstones, coordinating interments and other cemetery matters.

Council passed a pair of bylaws authorizing Pierce Animal Control to take over animal control services and appointed Ronald Pierce as bylaw enforcement officer for that specific purpose.

Agent Dennis Martin addressed the comments and stated there may be a proposed deck but this will not affect current drainage. The committee approved the rezoning from R-2 to R-9 residential second density special zone.

Those stories helped observers relate to Operation Wish, a program established

by Sears in 2006 to show support for deployed troops and their families.

The program was officially launched Sunday at the Sears store in the Quinte Mall in partnership with the MFRC, the Canadian Association of Military Family Resource Centres (CAMFRC) and the Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS).

“Having served in the military and away from home for extended periods of time, I know first-hand what a relief it can be to know that someone is helping to take care of your family and looking out for their well-being,” stated Doug Campbell, President and CEO of Sears Canada, himself a former U.S. Marine.

“We are very proud to provide a vehicle, through Operation Wish, to help Canadians show their support for our military and their families across the country. While the program looks a bit different each year, the goal is always the same – to build a bridge between the local military base and the community by providing a way we, as a community, can show our support for our military friends and neighbours.”

Lower Trent Conservation reports on environmental regulations

By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West – Several reports were on the list at the December 12 Lower Trent Conservation board meeting, including updates on environmental regulations.

Cristal Heintzman, environmental planner and regulations officer, made the first report to the board.

“This is just a preliminary update,” she said.

Included were changes in boathouses,

adding that some may use these as living space and should be out of the floodplain.

Setbacks for people building on “the toe of a slope” was also discussed, with the changes to include all renovations and minor additions. For building near wetlands, some may be allowed if it allows safe access and is flood-proofed.

Heintzman said there will be a new online map viewer for the public to view areas which are regulated or of environmental concern. This will

streamline inquiries and help the public get answers.

Janet Noyes, manager Watershed Science and Services, gave a report on changes to the Fisheries Act and the role of the Conservation Authority.

“Some major changes went into effect on November 25, 2013 with only four days notice,” she said.

The Fisheries Act has clarifications in managing threats to fish, applying to commercial, recreational and aboriginal fisheries.

A new prohibition c o m b i n e s killing fish and destruction of habitat.

Noyes pointed out that we are are in a zone that includes Ontario to Alberta and the Arctic. There are only five enforcement officers in all of Ontario.

Noyes said there is no more legal agreement between the Conservation Authority and the Department of Fisheries. People are directed to find information on the website.

very happy about it,” she said. “Many are disappointed, especially CFB Trenton who relies on the Conservation Authority as part of the environmental watchdog, for areas such as Meyers Creek.”

Jim Harrison noted that a few years ago Cramahe Township replaced a culvert and got a big fine because they didn’t have proper approvals.

CAO Glenda Rodgers presented a report on the Conservation Authority taking over on-site sewage inspections in the townships of Alnwick/Haldimand, Cramahe and municipality of Brighton.

The current agreement with the Board of Health with Haliburton, Kawartha and Pine Ridge District Health Unit is set to expire on December 31, 2013 with a potential extension to June.

Rodgers said it would be feasible to take over all three municipalities inspections while hiring one LTC position to deliver the program. She estimated the cost of the program would balance out with the revenue on a costrecovery basis.

Jim Alyea asked if the Health Unit would share past histories, noting that there are a lot of ongoing problems with septic systems as they age.

Rodgers said the LTC would deliver a streamlined one-window application and permit process for landowners involving new or replacement septic systems and would include mandatory inspections for vulnerable areas identified in the Source Protection Plan. The LTC will submit a proposal to the townships.

Dog bites in Conservation Areas a deep problem

By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West – Dogs running loose in conservation areas are taking a big bite out of Lower Trent Conservation resources.

“Dog bites have been increasing,” said Lower Trent CAO Glenda Rodgers.

A letter was just received from someone running through Proctor Park who had “a good bite on the back of his leg” from a large dog running loose. The man said it was not the first time he was bitten.

“Dogs off leash in conservation areas is in contravention of the regulations,” Rodgers noted.

The regulations call for ticketing the person but this cannot always be enforced.

Staff made attempts to increase public awareness of this problem in 2012 with a Dogs On Leash Challenge, increasing signage and giving out pamphlets and warnings.

“The issue has not been resolved with these approaches,” she said. “We feel it is necessary to increase the level of enforcement.”

Currently, two enforcement officers, Mike Lovejoy and Cristal Heintzman, are qualified to ticket people in the Conservation Areas.

However this is not enough.

“We need to hire a security service provider,” Rodgers said.

“We need to take action as soon as we can.”

She said she has spoken with a provider with several years experience in the law and security field that offers enforcement compliance at a reasonable rate.

Their employees are trained in bylaw enforcement and have their own equipment. In addition to ticketing, they will also attend court for the same hourly rate for contested tickets. They will also allow LTC staff to accompany them when on patrol, so they can gain expertise. The board would need to appoint them as Enforcement Officers.

Staff will bring the proposal to the next board meeting in February for consideration.

Jim Harrison asked if this problem was only at Proctor Park. Rodgers said it is in lots of other areas including a particular

problem at the Bleasdell Boulder.

Chair Craig Kerr said 80 per cent of walkers at Proctor Park have their dogs off leash. When confronted, the walkers tell them to “kiss off.”

“We could wind up in court,” he said.

Mary Tadman added there are several large dogs that attack smaller dogs as well. “Hardly anybody leashes them,” she said.

“Some of the big dogs even run over kids.”

Glenda added the owners don’t clean up after them either.

Craig Kerr said Brighton is thinking of making an off-leash area. “The municipality really needs to step in,” he said.

The Lower Trent Conservation Board at the December 12 meeting: Jim Alyea, Jim Harrison, Craig Kerr, Don Campbell, Mary Jim Harrison was concerned Tadman and Patricia Westrope. Photo: Kate Everson how they could police everything.

Glenda Rodgers admitted they can’t be everywhere but could target some areas randomly.

Harrison suggested adding surveillance cameras.

Craig Kerr suggested possibly Drs Sue and John Marinovich and We offer complete dental care for all ages. sharing services with the staff have been serving the dental municipality.

Wrestling hits the mats

Sports – Belleville – The gloves came off at Quinte Secondary School Thursday afternoon for an invitational wrestling tournament, and with more than 165 wrestlers from nine different schools there was no shortage of pins, reversals and clinches throughout the day.

“It’s never your objective to try and hurt your opponent,” said QSS wrestling coach Tyler Fischer. “You have to be smart, you have to know your technique, and although strength is definitely a part of it, it’s not everything.”

Fischer has been coaching the wrestling team at QSS for the past four years, and on Thursday the school hosted the annual tournament for the third consecutive year. A former Campbellford District High School and Western University wrestler, Fischer said it isn’t always easy for younger kids to pick up the sport, and that they have a lot to learn when they pick it up for the first time.

“You come into this sport and it’s not like basketball or hockey, where these kids have been at it since they were five years old,” he said. “You’re really starting with very raw athletes and they have a lot to learn in those first couple years... a lot of body awareness and body control, as well as a lot of conditioning work, and a lot of strength training just so that their bodies can handle this tough sport.”

While boys wrestling is still more commonplace than girls wrestling, Fischer said there’s been a definite surge of popularity among young women after women’s wrestling was included into the Olympics, and at QSS Friday six female athletes from the school participated. Not only that, but halfway through the day those six athletes were undefeated.

“Guys wrestling has been around for a lot longer,” Fischer conceded. “Girls wrestling is still in its first 20 years of existence, but now with it being in the Olympics we’re getting a lot more females out and the sport is building.

There’s some really competitive athletes

on the girls side.”

When the dust had settled, a number of QSS athletes came away clutching a variety of hardware from the tournament. Taking gold in their respective weight classes were Emma Fowler, Em-

ily Babcock, Meaghan Weinhold and Ben Doran; taking silver in their respective divisions were Roberta Drummond, Elizabeth Drummond and Chris McRae, and taking bronze were Dylan Gagne, Sean Ward, and Joeb Babcock.

ENSS’s Jessika Hordy seems cool and collected while pinning a competitor Thursday.

On The Rocks: Trenton Curling Club News

Sports – Quinte West – The other day, my real skip and I were looking at some old black and white family photographs. Those 60-yearold grand folks sure looked stern in their frumpy black clothes and grumpy visages.

How things have changed.

Last week, the club hosted its annual Grands and Greats Bonspiel. Open to all grand and great grandparents, aunts and uncles, it attracted a full house of energetic and brightly attired new age elders.

The bonspiel was a twogame total points spiel, where points were awarded for games and ends won and points scored. After the first random draw, the two top teams would play each other, as would the two bottom teams, and so on. This levels the curling skills playing field and puts everyone in contention for bragging rights. After the first draw, Mike Lamoureux and Ben Clifton led the pack with 13 and 14 ¼ points respectively. Bert Garret at 11 ½ was paired with Gary Keating at 9 ¼ in the second draw.

A member who shall remain unnamed made club history

in achieving something that has never happened before in a “Grand and Great Bonspiel.

He scored a perfect zero in the first game and was paired with Ray Bruneau with 1¼ points. Pat Rumsam (4 ¼) would pair off with Ellie Kompch (1 ¾), two habitual club powerhouses who fell on hard times this day.

Before the second draw, the players retired to the lounge for a lunch prepared

by Mike Parry and his galley crew, a cake donated by Seasons, some oxygen, and the occasional nap. Then it was off to the ice for the final match-ups. With everyone playing against similar skill levels, the second draw games were all close. In the potential bonspiel winner’s game, Clifton was ahead of Lamoureux (Mikey) 4 - 3 after four ends. He scored two more in the fifth to take a 6 - 3 lead coming home without the hammer. In a turnaround sixth end, Mikey found himself lying four, but on his last stone Clifton threw a perfect freeze. The only way for Lamoureux to win the game was to execute a perfect Hail Mary, angle raise takeout.

NHL Alumni tour visits Belleville

Sports – Belleville – It may not have been the McSorley-Gretzky combo hockey fans remember, but at Yardmen Arena Friday night at least one Gretzky took to the ice alongside Wayne’s old bodyguard when the NHL Alumni Tour in support of the Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run came to Belleville.

It was a light-hearted atmosphere at the arena come game time, and to help kick off the opening puck drop a member of the Belleville Police Service rappelled down from the rafters with an honourary puck in hand for guest coach Walter Gretzky, Police Chief Cory McMullan and Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis.

Once the game started, guest referee and former Toronto Maple Leaf Dave Hutchinson took over the microphone, giving a play-by-play account and appealing to the crowd as the NHL alumni battled a team of local law enforcement all-stars.

While some of the older stars such as Marty McSorley, former Montreal Canadien Mike Napier and former Toronto Maple Leaf Bill Derlago took it easy for most of the game, a couple of the younger guys clearly were looking to put on a show.

Total EMC Distribution 474,000

Long-time NHLer Matthew Barnaby saw his 16-year career come to an early end after struggling with symptoms of a concussion in 2007, and on Friday night he pulled out a full bag of stick handling tricks in his assault on the law enforcement net.

Former Belleville Bull Brent Gretzky also looked to have some swagger in his step as he joyfully took part in odd-man rushes, and former Maple Leafs sniper Rick Vaive was as deadly accurate as ever. Vaive became the first Toronto Maple Leaf in history to score 50 goals in a season, in the 1981-1982 campaign.

Other former NHLers to take part Friday night included former Maple Leaf goaltender Mark Laforest, three-time Stanley Cup winner with the Edmonton Oilers Mike Krushelnyski and 18-year NHL veteran Dave Reid.

Each winter, the NHL Alumni tour visits roughly 30 communities across Ontario, supporting a variety of different local charities and organizations. In Belleville Friday night, proceeds from the game will support the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Ontario, which is a community based, provincewide event that sees the “Flame of Hope” carried Three-time Stanley Cup winner with the Edmonton Oilers Mike Krushelnyski (left) and former Edmonton Oiler Marty McSorley Please see “NHL” on page B4 celebrate after a goal during the NHL Alumni game.

Lifestyles - Campbellford A naturopathic perspective on the health of seniors was the topic of a presentation by Dr. Andrea Bull, guest speaker at a recent meeting of the Age Well Network (AWN) of Trent Hills.

“Most seniors that visit a naturopathic doctor are either brought in by a family member or they are not having any success with conventional medicine approaches,” said Dr. Bull.

“Usually it is due to poor diet, poor lifestyle, overmedication or they are on so many meds they don’t want to take another medication for the symptoms they are having,” she added.

Before talking about the modalities she offers Dr. Bull did say there seems to be a lot of “misinformation out there” about her profession.

“We are trained similar to medical doctors. We can do the same physical exams, lab testing, MRIs and more,” she said.

She noted that “a lot of the things we do can interact with pharmaceuticals so we study pharmacology.”

She uses homeopathic medicine as one of the tools in her medicine chest “trying to match symptoms to a remedy.”

Homeopathic medicines don’t interact with any pharmaceuticals at all, “so they are nice to use with elderly people who are on meds.”

Dr. Bull recommended use of a website (www.drugs. com) where people can input their medications and find out if they might have any drug interactions.

She also utilizes acupuncture and Chinese herbs in her treatments as needed.

“The key to naturopathic medicine is we are always trying to get to the root cause so you don’t have to keep taking

Dr. Andrea Bull, a naturopathic doctor in Campbellford, was the guest speaker at a recent meeting of the Age Well Network of Trent Hills. Doreen Sharpe, the Network’s co-chair, points to a list of ingredients of “shakes” on the market today as presented in a chart.

medications all the time,” she explained.

“Diet and nutrition are often somewhat of an easy fix in most but in the elderly population there can be many obstacles. Mobility, access, and cost can all be issues regarding healthy dietary choices,” she noted.

“I don’t charge astronomical amounts,” she added.

“Usually in most people the main obstacle is themselves.

They need to fix their diet or make lifestyle changes.”

Dr. Bull did take to task the nutritional shakes that are on the market today.

“Has anyone looked at those ingredients? . . . You might as well have a chocolate bar and a multivitamin,” she said, after quizzing the AWN members if they could identify the shakes after seeing the ingredients.

She also pointed out that a lot of people are struggling with inflammatory conditions and oils and sugars just help to promote that cycle to con-

tinue the pain and infection.

“I talk to them about overmedication too as well as exercise. A lot of the solution is diet and nutrition.”

Not only can seniors benefit from her diagnosis and treatments, but so can “full-time working moms” who are trying to do everything at home.

“It’s about the amount of demands your body has to meet in a day, the physiological stress . . . a lot of people don’t realize they are stressed,” she said.

Her talk focused on diet/ nutrition, lifestyle and overmedication.

Dr. Bull completed the Naturopathic Medical Program from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2006 and after moving back home to Trent Hills with her family in 2012, she eventually decided to start her own clinic called Your Family Naturopath which is located in Campbellford.

Emerald Ash Borer gaining ground in Ontario and create public awareness.”

Jim Alyea asked what were the implications of finding it on a woodlot.

Ewa said as of April 1 all of Southern Ontario would be a regulated area. “Don’t panic,” she said.

Alyea said he has a lot of white ash on his land and the cost of injection would be too much. Ewa agreed it is not feasible for woodlot owners to inject all their ash trees.

Alyea commented that in the ‘50s there was Dutch

Elm disease which killed a lot of elm trees. “The elm started to come back again, then it would die again,” he said. “I’m surprised it grew.”

Ewa said the disease was in the environment and trees would grow up to 20 metres before they showed Ewa Bednarczuk talks to the LTC board about the spread of emerald ash borer in Ontario. Photo: Kate Everson symptoms. She said the emerald ash borer insecticide is made from a nut of a tropical tree in India. CAO Glenda Rodgers suggested Ewa make presentations at local municipal councils to make people aware.

Dependable Service...

R0012448555

News - Quinte West – Ewa Bednarczuk, ecology and stewardship specialist, made a presentation to the Lower Trent Conservation board December 12 on Preparing for the Emerald Ash Borer.

“This is an ecological disaster,” she said, describing how the tiny iridescent beetle creates tunnels in the bark of ash trees, cutting off food and water so the tree dies.

“The first symptoms are that the top of the tree dies first,” she added.

She noted that ash is an important timber for use in flooring and other things. The emerald ash borer probably arrived in Canada on a wooden pallet overseas and is spread in firewood. She urged people to buy wood locally and burn it on the site.

“Become informed,” she said.

“Consider tree removal or injections.

Call the hotline for the MNR.” She said there is no doubt the invasive species is coming soon to a woodlot near you.

“Roseneath has confirmed it this year,” she said. “Ash trees will die.”

She urged municipalities to become proactive. Take a tree inventory, map the ash trees, their size and health.

Look for signs of the emerald ash borer, its larvae in the bark. Plant trees to replace the ash with a mix of natural species. Protect important shade trees in parks and tourist destinations with injections of insecticide TreeAzin.

Consider removing heavily infected trees.

The cost for treatment is $5 to $7 per centimetre, so a tree could cost $250 to $350 to treat over two years.

Removal could cost $1,200 to dig out the stump and replace the tree.

“It’s cheaper to remove the ash if it’s not completely infected,” she said.

Municipalities also have to prepare a disposal facility and plan how to process the trees, either in woodchips or pellets.

Ewa said public awareness is important and there should be a webpage and social media as well as workshops and a hotline.

“So far there have been no great infestations in our area,” she said.

“We have the advantage of time, some warning. We can have plans in place

NHL Alumni tour visits Belleville

Former Maple Leafs sniper Rick Vaive was true to form, wowing the crowd with several laser beam shots to the top shelf.

Former Chicago Blackhawk Matthew Barnaby put on a show with a number of stick-handling tricks.

Continued from B1

across Ontario by members of Law Enforcement agencies from across the province.

More than $42 million was raised worldwide in 2012 as part of the torch run, and in Ontario the run has contributed over $19 million since the first event in 1986. Funds from the

torch run are used to raise funds and public awareness for Special Olympics Ontario, to involve Law Enforcement personnel in a community-based, province-wide programs and to set up community partnerships with sponsors, Special Olympics volunteers and local supporters who all have a desire to help athletes.

(above) Fans and players alike were in for a bit of a surprise during the opening ceremonies, as a member of the Belleville Police Service rappelled down from the rafters with the honourary game puck in hand.

*It’s recommended that everyone wear a helmet for safety reasons*

News – Northumberland – Northumberland OPP report area residents are being asked to provide personal information and to send money to people saying they are acting on behalf of the federal government.

A person identifying himself as Kingsley Adams stated in a letter to one resident that a family member had recently died and he wanted to send money to the person. He asked for financial information to carry out the transfer of funds.

In another attempt at fraud, supposedly from FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada), a letter concerned a petition against the federal government which asked for names, addresses and phone numbers of anyone who signed it.

“It is ALWAYS in your best interest to not give anyone personal information about yourself or your family as well as any financial information,” police said in a news release.

The OPP advise anyone who is asked to provide information by an apparent fraudster to call the Canadian Anti-fraud Centre, 1-888-495-8501.

Antwerp shines bright like a diamond Antwerp shines bright like a diamond

Lifestyles - Belgium’s Antwerp is a major diamond centre and has played a very significant role in the diamond industry since the 15th century.

Today, its diamond district trades about 85% of the world’s rough diamonds, 50% of cut diamonds, and 40% of industrial diamonds. Antwerp is said to have the “best diamond cutters in the world” – and the highest international mark of approval for a polished diamond is the “Cut in Antwerp” label.

After the skilled craftsmanship has been completed in this Belgian city, the diamonds are exported worldwide.

I visited Antwerp’s diamond district, which is located right in the heart of the city, in what’s often referred to as the “Diamond Square Mile”. The area has a plethora of diamond shops, diamond brokers, diamond cutters, diamond polishers,

diamond exchanges, special diamond banks, and diamond companies. Diamonds rule here!

As I wandered through the Diamond Square Mile, I noticed that there were many Hasidic Jews working here, primarily men with long black curls and donned in the traditional long black coat and hat. I even observed one sitting on a bicycle, right in front of a bank, and making what I presumed was a business call relating to diamonds. After all, I learned that it was Hasidic Jews who, many years ago, had set up the Diamond Club of Antwerp, the city’s first trading exchange that dealt mainly with the wholesaling of cut stones. I visited both this exchange and the Antwerp Diamond Ring (“Antwerpsche Diamantkring”), which was the first trade exchange that was set up here to deal exclusively with rough, uncut diamonds. In addition to these diamond exchanges, I also checked

out Diamondland, Antwerp’s largest diamond show room, where I could watch craftsmen at work. I soon learned that diamond quality is determined by “the four Cs”: the diamond’s cut, colour, clarity, and carat. The larger, clearer, and whiter the gemstone, the more valuable it is.

The Antwerp Diamond Jeweler Association (ADJA) has been created to protect the jewelry buyer, guaranteeing the quality. Therefore, it’s best to shop at stores recommended by the ADJA, for the diamonds will be genuine in these establishments. Some of these diamond sellers have even teamed up with certain Antwerp hotels – and offer a free night’s stay for romantic couples who are coming to Antwerp to purchase a diamond ring.

Antwerp’s diamond district is located very near its Central Station, and since I arrived there by train, my first look at the city’s architecture was in this magnificent, cathedral-like structure, with its high marble columns and long, elegant staircases. A short walk from this station led me right into the Diamond Square Mile.

When I now hear that previously popular Rihanna song about shining “Bright Like a Diamond”, I’m reminded of Antwerp’s diamond district, with its plethora of jewelry shops and real, shining diamonds. However, when I think back to my Antwerp visit, I’m also reminded of the city’s many other ‘diamonds’, too, for I discovered that this beautiful city had far more ‘gems’ than merely the ones located in its diamond district. Some of these not-to-bemissed attractions include the Farmers’ Tower (Europe’s first skyscraper), the Cathedral of Our Lady (the highest Gothic building in the country, with its impressive collection of major art works), Rubenshuis (where the artist created many of his masterpieces), the MAS (a towering museum with a spectacular view of the city from the top), the Festival Hall (for shopping in style), the Butchers’ Hall (a former meat market that’s now a music museum), the Antwerp Zoo (located next to Central Station and dating back to 1843), Aquatopia (the large aquarium near the zoo), the Flanders Opera (housed in a beautiful neo-baroque building), Het Steen ( a mediaeval fortress on the bank of the Scheldt River), the Grote Markt (in the heart of the Old City, with its City Hall and severed hand statue), the Red Star Line Museum (depicting

the story of migrants who left Europe from here for ‘the promised land’), and the restored warehouses along the waterfront (now converted to boutiques and restaurants). As a tourist destination, Antwerp does, indeed, shine bright like a diamond.

LIFESTYLES

Preserve the tree, preserve yourself Dan Clost Lifestyles - In the olden days, our tree came into the house during Christmas week, freshly cut, and was taken out shortly after New Year’s Day: it was inside for less than two weeks. Today, folks bring their trees in as early as the last week in November and set them outside around the second week in January.

Certainly, not all trees are created equal and some turn to tinder faster than others, even within the same species.

For example, two seemingly identical Balsam Firs can have a significantly

different lifespan. Perhaps one tree was tucked inside the shipping bundle and the other was on the outside of the tractor trailer load as it travelled from Northern Ontario or Nova Scotia. One can easily last several weeks inside the home, the other may leave its needles in the car trunk. (By the way, Gentle Reader, any reputable seller will replace such a tree immediately. Caveat emptor, buyer beware, is not an option; it is a shared responsibility.)

Here is a sobering thought: Christmas tree fires show the highest increase of 50% on Dec 24, 61% on the 25th and 43% on the 26th; of these, one in nine have a fatality and almost all of those deaths occur somewhere else in the home; not in the room where the fire starts.

Obviously you want to start with the freshest tree possible. You should know most commercially available trees are harvested in mid-November and some

even before that. Look for needles on the branches, not those on the ground as many species, especially spruce, will have quite a few old, dead needles on the inside. Run your hands along the stems, grasp strongly, and see what happens. Pines tend to collect quite a bit of “straw” on the inner stems so it is a good idea to reach in and clean them out.

The best thing you can do to increase longevity is to keep it hydrated. When you get the tree home, put it into water as soon as you can. Make sure you cut off between half and one full inch off of the butt. The stand should fit the tree not the other way round. Shaving off the sides actually strips away the “arteries” and decreases the ability of the tree to take up water.

The National Christmas Tree Association says trees will need one quart of water per inch of stem diameter, so a four inch stem needs a stand that

holds four quarts (one gallon) or just a titch over four, five litres. That will be soaked up within the first 24 hours.

So, if your stand doesn’t hold enough, you need to check the reservoir more often than once a day. Once the tree has rehydrated itself, water consumption will slow down but you must stay on top of the situation. Make it easy to check, provide yourself with clear access to the reservoir.

If you do find that your tree will be near a vent, cover up the vent. If you can’t cover up the vent, then put the tree somewhere else.

Should you use a preservative? Laval University folks have discovered the chemical that causes needle drop. They are working on a preventative. Until then, clean tap water is the best. Some preservatives- e.g. two top selling brands in the U.S., have been discontinued because they actually increased needle loss. GR, just because some marketing

Follow example set by Three Wise Men Lifestyles - Right now, many men are The gift, then, must be good.

No matter what should you buy her something you think your wife says, a package under the she needs. First, you’re probably wrong; tree is non-negotiable.

been useful. They brought something symbolic of who Jesus was to them.

So think romance, not necessity. Think meaningful, not useful in the laundry room. It’s the wise way.

The Wise Men, however, were not merely gift toters. They also were wise because they were on the look out for danger, avoiding the homicidal King Herod and protecting Mary and Jesus in the process. This may not be a very women’s lib type thing to say, but I think “protecting your brood” comes right after “it’s the man’s job to kill the bugs” in the official marriage rule book.

Now, men must understand that many dangers in a woman’s life are of her own making. Women naturally expand to fill the void—and no, I’m not 1 referring to the lady who required that scale. If there is work to be done, and no one to do it, women naturally step in.

That is why we are chronically

Reality Check:

exhausted and grumpy. Men can protect women by helping us do some of that work, and by gently helping us see when we’re getting out of control. Remember, though, that the preferred method of conveying such nuggets of wisdom is to do so while handing us chocolate truffles and running that bubble bath.

Finally, the wise men knew that sometimes you have to take a journey to find something truly important. I don’t mean heading down to Home Depot to get the latest power tool; I mean going places you wouldn’t normally venture.

Maybe you need to take a journey this Christmas season; a journey back to that place in your heart where you first fell in love. Maybe you need to journey to church, to a marriage counselor, to more of your children’s pageants.

Maybe you need to journey to a place of forgiveness. Maybe you need to take a journey to a place where you can be free to say “I love you”, “I cherish you”, “I need you”, or to find an answer to the question, “what am I here for?” Seek out that which is important this season. It is

year round facility and therefore the chances of someone being there during the spring when the flood risks are highest, were slim. He also said that certain measures could be built into the structure which would have no basement or crawl space and could be constructed on piers. He described the lot as being tiered, saying he could move the building to the higher ground.

He commented, “I am willing to cooperate with the Board in whatever recommendations they may make...”

Chair Barry Rand asked Richardson what the Board’s options were and was told that if the application were to be approved, there would have to be very clear and concise reasons for that decision.

Another option was for deferral of a decision, but as she explained, in that case, the issues that are raised would still be there, “and we will find ourselves back here at the end of the day.”

A great deal of discussion and conversation around the table followed, with input from several Board members one of whom, Ron Gerow, suggested there might be some engineering options which “could be put on the table for further consideration... to see how they are applicable to the process that we have to work within.” Following further input from others and an indication from the engineer that the potential impact from flooding could be managed and another from the property owner that he would be willing to make alterations to the plan to mitigate the risk, Gerow proposed a motion. It stated, “that we defer the de-

cision (in order) to allow the applicant an opportunity to modify and amend at his will the application based on the discussion here today.”

The motion passed with thanks from the Chair “for a good and open discussion.”

The matter will again appear on the February 20 agenda.

The meeting continued after a break, with Richardson providing a generic regulations report, saying that another permit had been approved while one was on hold and two others awaiting approval.

With regard to the access road to Fire Route 28 located in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen, letters have been sent to the landowner and others saying that CVCA would accept an application for the installation of a culvert and up to a foot of fill to be placed along the access road to raise it to summer elevation.

A 20 minute lunch break was followed by the 2014 budget deliberations with CVCA General Manager Tim Pidduck reminding that during the last meeting he had been directed ensure that the Long Range Plan objectives of a six percent increase, were met. This required shaving .33 percent from the figures, which Pidduck managed to do. He mentioned a figure of $10,000 in the 2013 budget under the heading of Flood Management - Unfunded Liabilities which had not been used, and could therefore be identified as surplus “to be held in reserve and used in the 2014 budget to cover the Flood Management - Unfunded Liabilities rather than raising levies to once again

cover the potential expense.” His report continued, “This enables the levy to be reduced by $10,000. Once the .33 percent overage ($1282) was taken into consideration, adjustments were made to the capital budget allowing a contribution of $8,718 to capital.”

Another item raised by Pidduck was the engineering cost for 2014 to have anchors installed at Wollaston and Belmont dams. The original estimate which was made in 2005, was for $3000 per anchor, a figure which has since more than doubled to $6700. Since the dam safety guidelines which were updated in 2011, have been relaxed, Pidduck feels the number of anchors required could be reduced, potentially installing one anchor per pier. He suggested that in 2014, perhaps one or other of the dams could be chosen to have the work done.

Discussion of budget matters continued with Gerow indicating that his council would not support a six percent increase, a statement which was echoed

by Sandy Fraser of Marmora and Lake.

A motion was made, and passed in a recorded vote that the draft budget be changed to reflect the contingency fund and forwarded to the municipalities for comment.

The matter of having Quinte Conservation involved in a service agreement with CVCA, which was turned down during a well attended meeting held in the Marmora Town Hall on October 25, arose again with Gerow saying that his council unanimously felt there was merit in the proposal but that it hadn’t been completed. It was suggested by the Chair that perhaps a motion relating to the issue could be drafted for the next meeting.

The new CVCA logo, created with input from staff, and featuring a large and graceful crow flying against a field of blue water and green land was unveiled to unanimous approval.

One of the final items to take place was the announcement that the CVCA minutes would be posted on line in draft form within two weeks, or possibly one, of each meeting.

Back to the future with Hula Hoop fun

By Bill Freeman

Lifestyles - Hastings – It’s back to the future for a group of women in Hastings who are getting their exercise groove using good old-fashioned hula hoops which conjure up images of childhood and school playground fun.

While the commercial rage

for hula hoops had its hey-day during the late 1950s and 1960s the art and sport of “hooping” has never really disappeared finding new adherents in successive generations and renewed interest from earlier hoopers who appreciate the fitness element the nostalgic toy can provide.

“I do it as a flow movement so it’s more like a dance,” says instructor Rebecca Hardy of Dartford. “It’s just a matter of expressing yourself with the hoop as your partner. It’s basically the same as the kid’s toy but it’s expanded into dance.”

Hardy has been a hula hoop instructor since last winter when she led an adult and children’s class at the Campbellford Resource Centre.

“It seemed like everyone was having a lot of fun which is what it’s all about,” she said.

The Hastings class meets Friday afternoons (2 p.m.) at the Civic Centre on a drop-in-when-you-can basis.

They’ve made their own hula hoops out of basic plumbing tubing which is commonly used for modern hoops. They are bigger and heavier than the original toy hoops.

“You can make your own so you can get the right size,” says Hardy.

The heavier hoops are easier to use, she says, “then you can work your way on to the smaller ones.”

“You can start at your own pace,” Hardy stressed. “It’s a dance so everybody’s got their own style so they’re going to adapt it to whatever’s right for them. It’s a full body workout, you get everything involved.”

loves the hula hoop.

“It fits in really well with belly dancing in addition to what we already do,” Boyd said. “It increases our flexibility.”

“It’s exercise, it’s a great workout,” says Lynda of Hastings.

“I had them on every day when I was a young kid. After school we had the hoops going all the time.”

For the record, the hula hoop was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame in Rochester, New York in 1999.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get as many families as we did in the past, this to me is a good sign that there are less people in trouble this year,â&#x20AC;? she noted.

In operation since 1988-89 the Angela Hayden Adopt-a-Family program was established to assist Department of National Defence (DND) families in need at Christmas, WO Driscoll explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As of 2003, one of the founding members passed away and we renamed the program in hon-

our of her and we keep the program running in her memory,â&#x20AC;? she stated.

According to Liz Hayden, units on the base adopt a family and provide them with all their gifts for that Christmas. St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School supplies all the groceries for those families.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;As of 2003, one of the founding members passed away and we renamed the program in honour of her and we keep the program running in her memoryâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The families who receive those gifts and groceries are those associated with the base, Ms. Hayden noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They could be Reserve (Force) or they could be civilians, as long as they are associated with the base.â&#x20AC;?

As usual, the committee had nothing but praise for the base units and students at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for their efforts this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s did a wonderful job of packing the food hampers for us, making it extremely easy to process them at this end and our units were extremely generous and provided for our families extremely well this year,â&#x20AC;? said WO Driscoll.

The Warkworth Community Service Club donated $1,000 to The Salvation Army just in time for the Christmas season. A kettle will be set up in Our Lucky Stars CafĂŠ, one of many kettles set up in Trent Hills at this time of year: From left, Elizabeth Aikenhead, owner of Our Lucky Stars CafĂŠ; Sonny Lennon, president of the Warkworth Community Service Club; Janey leach, family service worker with The Salvation Army; and Captain Steve Manuel of The Salvation Army.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Quinte West â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Angela Hayden Adopt-a-Family program is one of those good news stories we all like to hear this time of year.

While it almost sounds like a sad story at first, organizers of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Adopt-a-Family program at CFB Trenton assure us it is very good news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were unable to provide a family to every unit that wanted one, so we sadly had to turn units

Calling all heroes: Red Cross seeking fresh volunteers for disaster management team help those in need. vide to fill that gap.”

“Mainly what we do here is what we call personal disaster “That’s going to result in assistance,” said David Allester, volunteer operational quite a significant number lead for the Disaster Management Quinte Branch of the in terms of the call volume Canadian Red Cross. “What we have.” we try to do is provide what we call basic needs: shelter, Small disasters can range from a food, and clothing... it’s an home burning down to localized floodemergency service we pro- ing, but the Red Cross also recognizes people in difficult social situations, such as in the case of domestic violence. In most cases, local emergency services will contact the disaster management team, who then send out a two-person team to the scene of the disaster. With them they bring basic comfort items like blankets, personal hygiene products and food and water, and in many cases the team then sets up the affected persons with short-term housing.

With a recent Hastings County decision to award the local branch of the Red Cross a three-year contract to provide an after hours emergency service, the disaster management team is looking for new volunteers to help swell Disaster Management volunteers Sharlene Matacheskie, Jocelyn Brethour, their ranks.

News – Belleville – When most people think about a disaster management team, images of tsunamis, hurricanes and tornadoes come to mind, but disasters aren’t always so large in scale. Small disasters occur almost every day across the province, and when they do the Canadian Red Cross is looking for new volunteers to

THANK YOU

40-50 calls per year, but he expects that number to increase come January.

“That’s going to result in quite a significant number in terms of the call volume we have,” he said. “We’re going to be pretty busy.”

Volunteers generally rotate their schedules so that there is always a team on call 24/7, which currently in the southern part of the service area means that each team takes one week a month.

Allester said the team has many members who work full-time jobs or have full family lives, and that they do their best to co-ordinate who is available when.

Volunteers are also provided hands-on training in first aid and CPR, with additional training opportunities for those seeking more of a leadership role.

“There’s flexibility in the system,” Allester said.

In odd cases, the Quinte team is sent to other parts of the world when largescale disasters strike. Most recently, nine volunteers from the Quinte region travelled to Alberta and Ottawa to provide assistance during the Alberta floods – five members heading to the site of the disaster and four others heading to Ottawa to volunteer at a call centre coordinating disaster relief.

“I think there’s a lot of opportunity for personal growth, you can learn a lot, you can develop new skills, but if it was only that I don’t think it’s enough,” Allester said. “For me personally, it’s a great sense of satisfaction to be able to help people out.”

To learn more about joining the a disaster management team, go to www.redcross.ca/ BeAHero, phone the Quinte branch at 613-966-0730 ext.110, or send an email to QuinteDMTeam@redcross.ca “I worked for a long time in a big bureaucracy, writing

reports and sometimes you really don’t know if you’ve made a difference,” Allester said. “But here, volunteering with the Red Cross you get a real immediate sense that you made a difference. Maybe just a little difference, but you’ve helped someone.”
