Record number of Plungers brave the icy Trent River for the Polar Bear Plunge

By Sue Dickens

Campbellford – A record number of plungers braved the icy waters of the Trent River on a day when the temperatures reached what was by comparison a balmy 2 degrees Celsius.

“We had 29 plungers,” said organizer Sharon Apted. “This is my third year and it’s my best year yet certainly as far as numbers go.” The Auxiliary to the Campbellford Memorial Hospital event was as popular as ever with a big turnout of spectators lining the riverbank to watch.

There were school buses set up as changing and warming stations and the Trent Hills Firefighters made sure everyone was safe both in and out of the water.

Promoted as more of a festival this year, the crowd cheered and did a lot of hand clapping encouraging the plungers as they, quite literally in some cases, dove into the Trent River.

There was no ice on the water at Lions Beach Park so firefighters helped plungers down the slippery riverbank and gave them a hand up when they climbed out, or in some cases, ran out.

In keeping with their tradition of taking the plunge every year, the Ellis family was represented again leaping

The Beauties and the Beasts Spartan Group whose motto is “Look like a beauty, train like a beast,” put on quite a show before taking the plunge, doing warm-up exercises on the riverbank. The group

Construction pending in Centre Hastings Madoc - Centre Hastings council is looking forward to residential developments getting underway in the near future, along with major road work on Highway 62.

The Francis Street subdivision is underway with a road and drainage installed, and may be seeing perspective buyers this year.

An application by Wayne and Rosemary Willemsen to build 12

single, detached low-rise condominiums at Moira Lake has met approval by Hydro One to install above ground service. Work there is ready to go forward.

Adam Richardson of Adjan Developments Incorporated asked to register a new agreement for Phase 3 of Quarry Hollow condominiums. The original application from March 2006 expires March 2016, after a 10year term. The plan was to build 31 units in total. That number is

reduced to a total of 18, with only four more units requested in the new plan.

Richardson is required to get prior consent from the municipality, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and 80 per cent agreement from the 14 existing households of Hastings Condominium Corporation plus new surveys.

Council wanted verification there would be no land-locked property with the new design.

The Municipality of Centre Hastings recognized January as Alzheimer Awareness Month after a presentation from Education Support Co-ordinator Darlene Jackson, who encouraged the community to recognize and accept afflicted residents. Front row, CAO Christine Martin, Mayor Tom Deline and Clerk Valerie Pryzbilla raised their dementia friends stickers in support along with: back row, Councillor Hadley, Deputy-Mayor Kramp-Neuman with Darlene Jackson, Curt Brinkman, Adam Richardson and Councillor Sandford.

They agreed to approve the application with that issue satisfied.

An application to build four residential homes at Moreland Lake in the south of the municipality, originally filed in 1999 by Fernando Santos, has been changed to an application for six seasonal trailer units for family members.

Council met in closed session Jan. 27 with their lawyer to begin negotiations with Santos to affirm he will meet requirements to upgrade the road to municipal standards, prior to development.

Mayor Deline said this application is subject to public approval, stating nearby residents may be notified as soon as the end of February.

A funding grant to the Ontario Connecting Links program has been submitted for restructuring of St. Lawrence Street from Russell to Durham Streets, including rebuilding the Deer Creek bridge. That job could begin this year.

Similarly, the Moira Lake bridge is scheduled to be replaced, which Deline said may happen this year or early in 2017.

into the frigid waters in memory of their grandfather, well known and respected physician Dr. Tom Hackett.

There were several new plungers too including Rob Milligan’s brother Brad from Brighton and Jake Allard whose stepdad Earl McLean has been a plunger for years, but has had to bow due to health reasons. He emcees the fun now.

No tally at press time but in the past the Polar Bear Plunge has brought in anywhere from $8,000 to $10,000 for the hospital here.

Mill Pond Moe predicts a lengthy winter

Prescription for Better Health:

Heart Disease

By Erin Stewart

February is Heart Month. In Canada, 1.3 million people are living with heart disease. Heart disease and stroke continue to be the leading cause of death in Canada even though significant progress has been made in the prevention, detection, and treatment of cardiovascular disease. In fact, 80% of premature heart disease and stroke is preventable.

Heart disease is often thought of as one condition, but it is actually a group of conditions that affect the structure and function of the heart. Some examples of heart disease conditions include angina, heart attacks, arrhythmias, heart failure, and valve disorders.

Several risk factors can lead to heart disease, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, stress, lack of physical activity, being overweight, and excessive alcohol consumption. However, adopting healthy behaviours can help prevent and help manage heart disease. For example, • Become smoke free: Smoking is associated with a number of health problems including heart disease, cancer and respiratory disorders.

• Increase physical activity: The ideal minimum is 30 minutes of moderate activity most days of the week. Even a small increase in physical activity is beneficial, so skip the elevator and use the stairs, or park your car further away from your destination and walk.

• Monitor and control your blood pressure.

• Eat a balanced and healthy diet: Avoid trans fat and eat more fruits and vegetables.

• Reduce stress.

• Limit alcohol intake.

• Maintain a healthy weight: Almost half of Canadian adults are either overweight or obese. Excess weight, particularly in the abdominal region, puts you at greater risk of heart disease.

• If you have diabetes keep your blood sugars well-controlled.

• See your physician regularly and follow their advice.

Stirling - Don’t let the mildish weather fool you, Mill Pond Moe, Stirling’s human-sized groundhog, has seen his shadow and is predicting another six weeks of winter.

The Town Crier, Lion’s Club member and former mayor Peter Kooistra, performed his duties with Moe in the latest addition to Stirling’s Groundhog Fest. The Crier appeared in an elaborate costume, courtesy of the Stirling Theatre, at the Covered Bridge at 7:30 a.m. sharp on Tuesday Feb. 2, to relay Mill Pond Moe’s spring prediction.

“Six more weeks! Well, whatever you do, don’t put your tuques or mitts up for sale yet, you may need them before summer gets here,” Town Crier Kooistra said to the crowd of a dozen people at the ceremony. “So folks, look for another six weeks of winter fun and we may as well enjoy it because it’s going to happen.”

Owen Jewell, 9, of Stirling attended the prediction ceremony for his first time and said he’s happy with an extra six weeks of winter because he enjoys winter activities like hockey; he plays as the goalie for Stirling Blues’ black team.

“I think it’s pretty cool, since it was my first time out,” Jewell said.

The Stirling Lions Club has organized the Stirling-Rawdon Groundhog festival for nearly 30 years. David Potts, member of the Lions Club, said it’s always a fun event to put on and a great way for different service groups in the community to come together, raise some money and have a fun weekend.

“I’m quite happy,” said Potts. “Mill Pond Moe is fantastic… People look forward to it and it brings a bit of enthusiasm to our party and people enjoy that.”

The snow may be melting, but don’t Stirling’s Town Crier, Lion’s Club member Peter Kooistra, shared groundhog put your shovels away just yet, Mill Mill Pond Moe’s spring prediction at the Covered Bridge on Tuesday Feb. 2, at 7:30 a.m. sharp. Photo by Erin Stewart Pond Moe could be right.

By Erin Stewart “Stirling. You know what? They don’t need a big reason to get together and have a party.”

Stirling - Dave Bush, musician who performed on Friday and Saturday with friends, says Groundhog Fest is a great weekend for the town

and he’s proud to have grown up in the Stirling community.

“It’s a small town community and they’ve got great service groups,” Bush said. “Groundhog Fest is great and all of the service groups come together… it’s a great community event for sure.”

Mill Pond Moe, Stirling’s very human-sized groundhog, had a

very busy weekend. Mill Pond Moe was seen making many appearances before his big Prediction for Spring ceremony on Tuesday morning.

The weekend festivities kicked off on Friday evening with a chicken dinner at the Legion Hal in Stirling with Bush and friends performing at the Stirling Railway Station to raise money for the StirlingRawdon Public Library.

Saturday started off with a pancake breakfast at St. Paul’s United Church and story time and crafts at the pubic library.

“We had pretty much a full-house in the kids department for a couple of hours,” said Jaye Bannon, Children’s Librarian.

Bannon said the kids were kept busy with crafts, board games, groundhog pudding snacks, a groundhog scavenger hunt and Mill Pond Moe even stopped by to take pictures with the children and read them a story.

“They always enjoy seeing Mill Pond Moe here, most of them, some are a

little shy,” Bannon said.

“I was really happy with the turnout and the kids all seemed to really enjoy what I had planned.”

After a successful afternoon at the library, the last event on Saturday was another performance by Dave Bush and friends at the Masonic Hall.

Janice Corbett, special guest musician, said it’s really fun being able to play at Groundhog Fest, a festival not many communities seem to celebrate.

“You don’t see it much anymore,” Corbett said.

“Stirling is just an amazing community that totally immerses itself in community events and it’s a lot of fun.”

On Sunday of Groundhog Fest 2016 the community could partake in public skating at the Stirling Arena and have a Sunday brunch at the Royal Canadian Legion. The last event for Stirling’s Groundhog Fest 2016 was Tuesday morning, where Mill Pond Moe gave his annual Prediction for Spring . (See related story.)

Bossio says he has never felt more alive

By Diane Sherman Hastings - Lennox and Addington - Newly elected federal MP Mike Bossio has been appointed to two House of Commons committees: Environment and Sustainable Development and Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development as of Friday, Jan. 29.

Earlier in the week he was appointed to head the National Rural Caucus.

In a telephone interview shortly after the appointments, Bossio said he has “never felt so alive.”

“I can finally help right the wrongs of 200 years. Well, it will take some work but I am so proud to be part of the process,” he said in reference

to his aboriginal affairs appointment.

Bossio was on his way to an overnight sleep-on-the-street event in support of homeless and mental health victims. He said he was grateful for help from a military friend who provided gear for the experience and says, “Thanks to him, I will be much better off than those who really experience it.”

Mental health issues, homelessness and food insecurity have been concerns of the 55-year-old MP. Bossio says he has built an 18year relationship with Chief R. Donald Maracle of the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, primarily over the Richmond Landfill

mega-dump expansion which led to a close working relationship.

Chief Maracle agreed to an interview with Metroland Media late Friday afternoon while still in council session.

Maracle said he believes Bossio will serve well in the position of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. He confirmed their long-standing relationship on First Nations’ issues and the environment, specifically the landfill issue.

The chief said he was notified of the appointment and is pleased Bossio will have a place to represent First Nations and the environment.

cate for environment. It is a good committee.”

Bossio concluded with saying, “We will fight the good fight. I’m fortunate my Liberal members feel the same way. We have to hold government accountable for their actions. If we fail, it won’t be for a lack of effort.”

Selection of the chairs for these committees will take place beginning on Feb. 1.

Bossio said this appointment “feeds into my passion to right historical wrongs.

“I’m on top of the world knowing I can work to correct the regulatory regime over our environment from being all for corporate interest, to doing the right thing for the planet.

“We have had a common cause, Chief Maracle and I, and we learned about each other in the process. He is a shrewd negotiator, but we are both fighting for the same thing.”

Hastings have long complained about lack of natural gas service for housing, commercial and industrial development.

Some members suggested that a cooperative effort to help fund the costs of a main gas pipeline might help.

One report showed that most of the main east-west power lines operated

by Hydro One are at capacity and cannot carry any more power, leaving a need for improved infrastructure.

To learn that major commercial and industrial employers are cutting back shifts and delaying potential expansion came as a severe shock to council members who seek desperately for new job growth in the area. The same situation might well apply to cities like Belleville and Trenton and others across eastern Ontario. The issue came up at a recent meeting of the

Township of Douro-Dummer Rental Pasture Land Proposals will be accepted by the undersigned until 12:00 noon on Friday, February 19th 2016, for the rental of approximately 95 acres of pasture land for the 2016 and 2017 seasons at Lot 3 Concession 2, in the former Township of Douro.

All proposals must be in writing and must state the approximate number of cattle which will be pastured.

The successful tenderer will be required to maintain the fences in a good state of repair and to provide proof of adequate liability insurance prior to cattle being put out to pasture each year.

Rental payments shall be in two installments each year- the first being before cattle being put to pasture and the second by July 1st.

Karen Poste, director of economic develop for Belleville, said the city had similar problems in its Northeast Industrial Park a few years ago but additional lines solved the problem and she has had no news of problems with city industries since.

Wyley, how could anyone oppose self-sufficiency?

Dear Editor, While I am generally on left of Wyley politically, how could any one living here be opposed to becoming more self sufficient? There are a few barriers built in to the dozens of trade deals, various Conservative and Liberal governments have signed over the years.

The next one is a lulu with the “Investor rights dispute mechanism” built in. This odious clause allows global oligarchs to sue any government which tries to give preference to local industries. The Chinese company which open a mine in BC with a condition that its workers be fluent in Mandarin, without protest from Mr. Harper aside, the main thrust seemed to be to sell the country as quickly as possible. We have no national plan for food, energy, water etc. In fact it now appears we do not even know how much of Canada is foreign owned!

The USA ban on country of origin labels on meat, is just one example of how much power a handful of corporations have over our right to know. The same applies to Monsanto’s battle to crush the efforts to mandate GMO content labeling. When Bell shirts and Bata shoes operated here, they appeared to share a pride in their place in this community, and they paid their share of taxes here.

The new oligarchs have no identity with any community unless it be those with equal wealth. Taxes are for fools.

The book “Small is Beautiful” by EF Schumacher, proposed a suitable maximum size for the most efficient company, where the person at the top knew all its employees names. We can but dream.

The proposed local winter vegetable greenhouse for north Hastings deserves our support, just a small step, but as one of Wyley’s favorites stated “the longest march starts with the first step.”

OPINION

Don’t write off all newspapers … yet

Goodbye Schengen “Europe has forgotten that history is fundamentally tragic,” said Manuel Valls, the French prime minister.

“If Europe can’t protect its own borders, it’s the very idea of Europe that could be thrown into doubt. It could disappear – not Europe itself, not our values, but the EuroGwynne Dyer pean project, the concept we have of Europe, that the founding fathers had of Europe.”

The European Union – 28 countries and 500 million people – is not really going to disappear just because it cannot agree on how to deal with one or two millon refugees. But one of the great symbols of its unity, the Schengen Treaty that allowed its citizens to move around without passports or border checks, is being suspended, perhaps forever.

Schengen doesn’t cover every single EU country.

The United Kingdom and Ireland remain outside the Schengen Zone, and Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and Cyprus, all new EU members, are still waiting to join. Switzerland, Norway and Iceland are part of the Schengen Zone although they are not EU members. But it does include over 400 million people.

It is a remarkable achievement. You could get into your car in Portugal and drive all the way to Finland via Spain, France, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia without ever once having to show a passport or identity card. There would not even be anybody in uniform standing at the frontier to wave you past, just a sign by the side of the road saying “Welcome to (Country X)”.

Or rather, that was the situation until last month, when Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Austria re-imposed passport checks at their borders, ports and airports even for travellers arriving from other Schengen Zone countries. France acted even earlier, declaring emergency controls on its borders after the terrorist massacre in Paris in November.

So now fully half of the EU’s citizens (counting the UK and Ireland) live behind real borders again.

The new border controls are alleged to be temporary measures, which the Schengen Treaty permits for a maximum of six months in the face of some unspecified emergency. But the refugee emergency is not going to fade away by next July, and the threat of terrorism will persist for the foreseeable future.

That’s why the European Commission is now examining how the legal framework of Schengen can be fiddled to allow a further two years of controls on the EU’s internal borders. Nobody doubts that

they will find a way to do that, but a great many people doubt that the passport-free zone, once suspended for that long, will ever come back.

This is happening not because Germans fear French travellers or Swedes fear Danes. It’s happening because none of them believe that the external borders of the Schengen Zone are properly controlled.

Even in freeezing January weather 35,000 refugees entered the EU last month, and it looks set to be another million-refugee year. And two of the men who carried out the Paris attacks crossed from Turkey to Greece (a Schengen member) as refugees. You can’t call that a secure external frontier.

The three countries that took in 90 per cent of last year’s refugees, Germany, Austria and Sweden, have all blamed Greece for letting so many refugees in and failing to document them properly.

“Greece has one of the biggest navies in Europe,” said the Austrian interior minister, Johana MiklLeitner. “It’s a myth that the Greek-Turkish border cannot be protected.”

The Greeks quite reasonably ask what their big navy is supposed to do. Sink the refugee boats? As for the failure to register all the refugees properly, they point out that at peak flow last autumn more than 10,000 were arriving each day. They didn’t have enough officials and equipment to cope with such numbers: 40 fingerprint machines running non-stop around the clock can only deal with about 4,000 people a day.

There is even talk of suspending Greece from the Schengen Treaty for two years, but a better solution would be to give it the people and resources needed to document everybody who comes in – and to turn back those who have no right to come in.

It’s not just a question of screening out possible terrorists, although that must be done better if confidence in Schengen is to be restored. In practice, Greece (or EU officials operating in Greece) would also have to decide at the border who is really a genuine refugee they are obliged to admit, and who should be returned immediately to Turkey.

The brutal truth is that most of the people crossing from Turkey into Greece, including the Syrians and Afghans who come from war-torn countries, are “asylum-shoppers”. They were already safe in Turkey, which is sheltering almost 2 million Syrian refugees and spending billions of dollars a year on them. But life in the camps in Turkey is hard, so they are moving on to seek asylum in richer countries with better facilities.

There is no obligation for Europe to take them all, and the Schengen Treaty will die if it does. But the European Union itself will soldier on without it, at least until and unless the euro currency collapses when the next recession hits.

Some weeks back, your correspondent ruminated on the changing face of newspaper journalism and the fact said same correspondent decided to get back off the front porch rocking chair and again dip his toe in the ink in these pages.

That was a scant few weeks ago when many in our business were fretting about the fragile state of newspapers.

Today, after the week from journalism hell, it’s a much more frightening place for us all – the journalists who toil in newspapers in this country and you, the readers.

It was a week that saw a lockout/strike at the Halifax Chronicle that is not going to end well for the line-walking journos there and the announced closures of century-old community dailies in Naniamo, B.C., and Guelph, where The Mercury, owned by this newspaper’s parent company Torstar’s Metroland, was shuttered.

As well, we saw the week before the co-joining of newsrooms in Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver and Edmonton where Postmedia had dailies in competition with Sun newspapers. Hundreds were laid off in the process.

Postmedia now owns more than 200 media outlets in this country, mostly newspapers. There is no other conlgomeration of foreign news media ownership anywhere in the world as large as this money-leaking dog’s breakfast and you would never see such a thing allowed in any other major democracy. For that, I suppose, we can thank our previous government for approving the sale of Sun Media to Postmedia in a move orchestrated by a handful of cash-hungry American hedge firms, led by New York-based GoldenTree Asset Management, which alone controls 35 per cent of Postmedia today.

According to Torstar business writer David Olive, Postmedia is a “cancer” unlike any seen before in Canadian newspapers, owing to the fact it owes its bones and soul to GoldenTree, whose sole purpose is to extract profits, in U.S. finds, from the carcasses of the dwindling newspapers in the chain.

“The good news is that the Postmedia abomination, which has never turned a profit, is in such wretched condition that it’s not long for this world,” wrote Olive in an insightful piece in the Saturday Star. “The bad news is that as long as the biggest newspaper publisher in the country clings to life, it is a blight on all the communities it underserves.

It’s not just small to mid-sized dailies that are under threat, either.

As reported in The Toronto Star last week, CRTC hearings into the future of local television stations are hearing harrowing tails of outlets hanging on precariously.

Don Caron, the manager of one Thunder Bay television broadcaster, said the two local televi-

sion stations in Thunder Bay could go dark by September. Crazily, he outlined how they are only being kept alive on the payouts on life insurance policies the station had on two dead executives..

“We are probably the most desperate of the stations that are sitting in front of you,” Caron, vicepresident and general manager of Thunder Bay Electronics Inc., told commissioners last Wednesday at CRTC hearings in Gatineau, Que. According to the Star account, Caron said the company is still afloat only because of “significant” life insurance policies taken out on the former owner and general manager, both of whom died in the past year.

Picture, if you will, a homeowner so down on his or her luck that they can’t pay the fuel bill and have taken to breaking up the furniture to burn in the fireplace.

Yes, it’s that grim in most quarters of the media companies in this country. Working for a small, privately owned radio station, newspaper or string of TV stations in Canada today and smiling smugly that you’re alright, Jack?

Think again.

Many, if not most, are unfortunately whistling past the graveyard if this pace continues and I weep for the future of the young, talented people I see just starting out.

As a newspaperman in the autumn of my career, I can look back on the more than three and a half decades I’ve practised the craft with one startling realization. That is, I have never put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard for any single newspaper owner. It has always been my role, since I signed on out of J-school in 1978 as editor of The Hanover Post, to work for a newspaper corporation. Many corporate outfits, like the monolithic Thomson empire where thousands of us got our starts, had been hived off into smaller, more progressive regional newspaper groups, like Michael Sifton’s Osprey Media was for a time.

But, that all ended when the hedge fund barbarians reached the gate and started gobbling up newspaper titles like they were so many two-bit spots on a Monopoly board.

Sure, the newspaper industry is changing. But, as I stated earlier in a piece a few weeks back, there is still a crying need for us to tell the stories of our communities in newspapers delivered to your doors in those communities.

Yes, the large dailies will continue to flail mightily in the tar-pit throes of what seems to be their mass extinction – at least until someone comes up with a formula to make them profitable. But, the most frightening aspect of this current conflagration in the newspaper industry is that we, in the smaller ponds and you, the readers in those ponds, run the very real risk of being collateral damage in a war not of our making.

Stirling residents ready to welcome Syrian refugees

By Terry McNamee Stirling - The offer was amazingly generous.

At a public meeting hosted by Refugee Response Stirling at Stirling Public School on Wednesday, Jan. 27, one man came forward after hearing that finding accommodation will be the biggest issue facing the committee as it works toward bringing two refugee families to Stirling.

Brian Riden, who said his wife passed away nine months ago, offered

the use of a fully furnished home to one family for as long as needed.

“My offer would be without compensation, of course,” Ridan added.

The offer came right after another man asked what religion the refugees would be, saying that he would only help a good Christian family, not Muslims.

The remark was not well received by the crowd, nor by Riden, who is originally from England.

“I was an evacuee during the Second World War, and no one asked me

my religion,” he said. “As long as people are living and breathing, we should help them as best we can. I want to remind people that, during the Second World War, Canada refused to accept Jewish refugees, and six million of them died.”

The comment was especially poignant because Jan. 27 was International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which commemorates the liberation of the infamous AuschwitzBirkenau death camp by Allied Soviet troops on Jan. 27, 1945.

The Refugee Response Stirling committee held the meeting on Wednesday to inform citizens of their goals and needs. Committee member Martin Shudall chaired the meeting.

“We are well aware of the crisis in Syria and Iraq,” he said. He noted that Syria has, or had, a population of 22 million people. Of those, 13.5 million are displaced within their own country while 4.6 million are refugees now living outside of their country. And the deaths are mounting.

“Three hundred and twenty thousand people have died since the beginning of this conflict,” he said.

Shudall said the two families that the committee hopes to bring to Stirling will be residents of refugee camps outside of Syria. Some of these people have been in refugee camps for as long as four years, he said.

Although it will not be known until right before they arrive what families will come to Stirling, Shudall said they will have received security checks and basic medical screening before coming to Canada. The committee is planning on two small families of four or five people each.

Why is this committee so passionate about this cause?

“All of the members of the committee, their families took in refugees known as the ‘boat people’,” he said, meaning that they know what is required and the enormity of the task ahead of them.

“We will be legally responsible for the family for a period of one year,” Shudall said.

One of the first requirements is raising enough money.

The group must raise $27,000 for each family and must have 80 per cent of that in-hand before the first family is permitted to come.

“We have currently raised over $16,000,” he said. (That number had reached nearly $20,00 by Sunday, Jan. 31.)

Rotarian and Township Councillor Dean Graff had another surprise.

“Any donations made tonight, myself and my wife Dawn will match dollar for dollar,” he said.

Shudall said fundraisers would be much appreciated to help reach the total goal of $54,000. Already, Stirling Public School has created a fundraiser.

“Our goal is $1,000, but we hope to raise much more

than that,” said school principal Suzanne Cholasta.

As well, donations of household furniture and goods are needed, as well as people who can volunteer their time to drive the newcomers to appointments and help them become acclimated.

Shudall stressed that, prior to this conflict, Syria was not a Third World country.

“These people are proud people, despite what they’ve been through,” he said. “They’d rather have a few new clothes than a lot of used clothes.”

However, kitchen items will not be needed, at least for the first family. Thanks to the generosity of the Rotary Club of Stirling, a full kitchen including food, small appliances, cutlery, and so on, is being donated.

Other offers came in that night, including free child care and toys.

Right now, storage is a concern, so the donation of storage space is needed.

Hard to predict what mild winter could mean for maple syrup production

By John Campbell Campbellford – Maple syrup producers did well last season but they don’t know what to expect this spring after a winter that’s been milder than usual.

“We’ll know better the middle of April” after the sap harvest and syrup processing season has begun, “because you never know,” said Marc Curle, who taps around 2,000 trees on 20 acres north of Campbellford.

The sap, in fact, already started flowing at one point.

“We’ve got half our taps in right now and actually made syrup on the 12th of January,” he said. “But that’s not normal.”

It’s far different from a year ago when he became “a bit concerned” when the sap was late in running.

“It came all of a sudden,” he said, and it turned out to be “an excellent year” for the syrup crop.

New executive takes historic O’Hara Mill into the future

By Diane Sherman

Madoc - The O’Hara Mill Volunteer Association has been working with the Quinte Conservation Authority to restore the historic settlement of O’Hara Mill in Madoc Township for ten years. They are now ready to put the 100-acre conservation site on the digital map.

Over the next three years, members will intensify the presence of O’Hara Mill on the Internet using Facebook, Twitter and a new website.

Throughout 2015, the board made a concerted effort to advertise in various media. This year they will focus on adapting to “accommodate developments in new technology”.

Chair Rod Wood said activity online has increased immensely. He noted these sites need to be monitored in a timely fashion to stay up to date with visitors.

Fred Bendell said advertising will be more concentrated in 2016, with less expense. He has worked out an arrangement with Metroland Media to publish a regular “What’s Up at O’Hara Mill?” bulletin.

Volunteers host their first event of 2016 on Feb. 15, (Family Day), with Children’s Mental Health Services offering a day of activity until 3 p.m.,

A short season, just a month long, “it came on strong at the end. And most of the producers in the area had a good year.”

Producers aim to produce a litre of syrup per tap and “we were over a litre,” Curle said, as were others among the 40plus members of the Quinte and District Local of the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers’ Association, which held its annual Information Day Jan. 28 at St. John’s United Church.

OMSPA President Terry Hoover said “the crop last year was good” and should be again this year now that there’s a “decent winter” during which “the trees get a freeze” for a couple of months.

“But it sure has been strange weather.”

Making predictions in his business is difficult, Hoover said.

He recalled one winter that was “terrible ... and we had a great crop. Another time we had a normal winter and there was no crop.”

Todd Leuty, an agroforestry specialist with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, said “it’s hard to tell” what kind of season it will be as a result of a winter that has been “quite mild ... The El Nino effect has given us an extremely different winter [from] we’ve had the last two years.”

Leuty said the trees “aren’t really under any moisture stress, there’s a lot of moisture in the ground so that’s a good thing.”

Ontario’s native trees “so far are still fully dormant, we’re just expecting the dormant period to continue on as normal.

We really don’t know when the sap will start to flow until it starts to flow.”

And when it does, “you don’t want to tap too early because ... the taps could dry out too soon,” Leuty said. “Producers try to wait until they’re closer to the typical season, even if conditions are ripe for sap flow.”

We thank all applicants for their interest and advise that only those selected for an interview will be contacted. Personal information is being collected under the authority of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Privacy Act and will be used for employment assessment purposes only.

on average,” in Quinte and the Sarnia area.

“Most people were happy getting anywhere from 80 per cent of a normal yield up to 140 per cent ... and good quality syrup, too.”

Hoover, who taps 1,900 maples outside Listowel, said he had attended eight locals and the average price for maple syrup has been about $65 for four litres, $40 for two, and $22 to $23 for one litre.

That’s about a five per cent increase over what was being charged last year, he said.

But “when you do the work, 65 [dollars] is cheap.”

Townsend Quilters’ members’ handiwork on their way to provincial ag societies convention

By Sue Dickens

Campbellford – A needle and thread are the only tools of her craft but they are all that Betty Benedict needed when she put 5,959 pieces together and created a hand-quilted quilt that was five years in the making.

The quilt will be in competition with others at the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS) convention which will be held Feb. 18 – 20 at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto.

A member of the Townsend Quilters who joined the group one month after it began in 1998, Benedict has been making quilts by hand for years. Humble about her accomplishments, her quilt won at the CampbellfordSeymour Agricultural Society’s fair and at the district level competition. Now it will be judged against others from across the province.

“I quilt because I enjoy it,” she said quietly.

Cathy Redden, president of the OAAS, spoke to the Townsend Quilters at a recent craft ses-

sion at their home base, Your #1 Sewing Centre, and she talked about the quilters’ accomplishments.

“In our own local fair every year we have a quilt competition and the quilt that wins at our fair goes off to the district (District 3) and then out of the 15 districts there’s one quilt selected for a machine quilt and one quilt selected that’s hand-quilted and they each go to the convention to be judged,” she noted.

Marilyn Pollock who is a founding member of the Townsend Quilters and Mina Murphy, who joined in 2008, have created a machine-quilted quilt which will also be going to the OAAS convention. Both are actively involved with the local fair and both have a love of quilting. Inspired by the I Spy Disappearing Nine Patch quilting technique, their quilt will be auctioned off at the president’s reception at the OAAS convention.

“We’re pretty excited because it represents our group and represents our community,”

10 Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, February 4, 2016

commented Pollock. Another Townsend Quilt member Eliza Dinner from Roseneath has a winning quilt as well that will be judged at the OAAS machinequilt competition.

And although she is not a member of the quilting group Carol Darling is also actively involved with the local fair and can be found looking after the vegetable, fruit, preserve and baking entries. She made an afghan that will be auctioned off at the OAAS. “It’s a scrap afghan made of granny squares,” she explained.

“My good friend Carol decided this year she wanted to contribute to help me out with what I was doing and she made it especially for this,” said Redden, who added, “Carol is the reason I am involved with fairs.”

The Townsend Quilters is a group known for giving back to the community and they are currently making quilts that will be donated to both the Tweed and Trent Hills Community Refugee Initiatives.

headed by Sue Wilkins, which began getting together in the home of Pauline Francis of #1 Sewing Centre now meets the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each

month at the sewing centre and includes quilters from Campbellford, Brighton and Stirling.

“I think it’s important to promote what they’ve done for

me and for the community. My theme for the year is ‘Celebrating Rural Ontario’ and that’s what this is,” Redden concluded.

Sleep Out So Others Can Sleep In New executive takes historic raises $15,000 for Mental Health O’Hara Mill into the future

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – The least fancy Loyalist College residence was at Market Square last Friday night.

A group of students from various programs used several cardboard boxes to create a waisthigh tunnel. It was the only shelter they planned on using to make it through the -11C night.

But no one in the group was about to complain. They were participating in Canadian Mental Health Association’s ninthannual ‘Sleep Out So Others Can Sleep In’ event in Belleville, a fundraiser where participants get a glimpse of what it might feel like to be homeless for a night.

When asked what gave them the courage to attempt sleeping outside in a January deep freeze, Alicia Wilson, a community justice student, gave a profound answer.

“I think it’s knowing that there are people who have to do this all the time,” she said. “For us it’s just one night.”

She also said the experience might help her realize how fortu-

nate she is to be able to sleep in a warm bed every night.

“This helps us realize what we have,” she continued, her breath creating a cloud with each word.

Haylee Hay, another community justice student, said the experience is also important as part of her education.

“We deal with people who have been in situations like this,” she said. “Having a good understanding of what they’ve been through can help us empathize with them a little better.”

They were two of just over 100 people who participated in the event, which ended up raising more than $15,000 for the CMHA’s Hastings-Prince Edward Branch. It was a record haul for the event and the funds raised will help the CMHA pay for improvements to its four transitional housing units, which take in people with mental health issues and give them a safe place to stay as they look for a longterm home.

Like in past years, there was a festive atmosphere at Market Square as the event began even

Each Office Independently Owned & Operated 47 WaLt StReet

though a bitter wind was blowing through the area forcing participants to bundle up in layers and pace their feet just to stay warm.

Kristin Crowe, of TAS Communications, was the event’s honorary chair.

She gave a touching speech, which reminded people that homelessness issues must be tackled with compassion.

“A lot of people have been asking, ‘who are the homeless?’’ she said. “First and foremost they are human beings just like you and I. They have hearts and souls and a need for human connection.”

She added that people who are homeless may be in the situation they’re in for any number of reasons beyond their control. A homeless person could be someone who’s lost a job or has left their home to flee abuse.

Crowe also shared a personal story. In an emotional moment in her address, she recalled the time last summer when she arrived home to see emergency vehicles at her neighbour’s door. Their son had taken his own life. It was a chilling reminder to her that mental health issues can touch anyone and sometimes they’re not easy to see.

With that, Crowe greeted the parents of the young man, who were taking part in the event.

This story, she said, inspired her to contribute to the fight to raise awareness of mental health issues, which are often linked to homelessness.

“I’m doing my part to end the stigma around homelessness,” she said. “I can’t believe the number of people who simply don’t believe we have a problem right here in our community.”

Continued from page 9 All events and a history of volunteer work can be found online at O’Hara Mill Conservation Area.

The association held their annual meeting Jan. 27 with 46 members registering.

Two of the original four members remain, Ross Moorcroft and Dave Little. Stan McEathron and Peter Sporring have retired.

Wanda Franks also announced her retirement. She was honoured for “her instrumental role in bringing O’Hara Mill to where it is today and her guiding support over the years.”

Rod Wood was re-elected as chair. Fred Bendell returns to chair marketing and revenue with Judy Hagerman as secretary/treasurer.

Members serving are Ross Moorcroft, Dave Little, Gord Sommerville, Barb Brooks, Chris Budd, Bob Clarke, John Kirkland and Joe

Kaehler.

Membership voted to amend the constitution from a required 10-member board to five members in 2015, so it could manage if numbers declined. No maximum was set.

Volunteers serve in specialized areas like building restoration, gardening, hosting tours, demonstrations in the blacksmith and carpentry shops, planning events and bookings.

Together they have progressive plans for the future.

Their work is made easier with help from numerous people and businesses credited for ongoing contributions. The website provides documentation of these folks and their work.

Board officers and committee chairs will be decided at the next meeting.

MAKE 2016 YOUR HEALTHIEST YEAR

Our app gives you a head start on health.

Take a risk assessment and learn how to prevent heart disease and stroke at

Improving heart health need not be difficult Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death across the globe. According to the World Health Organization, ischaemic heart disease, in which blood supply to the heart is reduced, is the leading cause of death in middle- and high-income countries and the fourth-leading cause of death in low-income countries.

Perhaps the most troubling fact about the prevalence of heart disease is that it can be largely preventable.

The American Heart Association notes that there are several ways to easily improve heart health and avoid becoming one of the millions of people to succumb to heart disease. * Embrace aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise is essential to cardiovascular health. Daily aerobic exercise, which can be as simple as walking around the neighborhood, can help men and women lower their blood pressure, maintain a healthy weight and lower their bad

cholesterol, which can circulate in the blood and cause blockages that can lead to heart attack. * Adopt a low-sodium diet that's also low in cholesterol.

Diet can be a friend or foe with regards to heart disease.

A heart-friendly diet that's low in sodium and cholesterol can help you maintain healthy cholesterol levels as well as a healthy blood pressure. * Monitor your blood pressure. A blood pressure reading is a staple of many doctor visits, but men and women should monitor their blood pressure even when they aren't visiting their physicians. High blood pressure does not always produce symptoms, but that doesn't mean it isn't potentially deadly. High blood pressure is the leading cause of stroke and can contribute to heart and kidney disease. So be sure to monitor your blood pressure and discuss with your physician ways to lower high blood pressure.

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – While Joyce and Denton McCrory may have never held executive positions or served as directors on the board “they are an example of the kind of individuals that every organization depends on if it is to be a success,” said Cathy Redden, president of the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies.

A longtime member of the CampbellfordSeymour Agricultural Society she was speaking at the organization’s annual general meeting (AGM) about the new recipients of the fair board’s agricultural service diploma.

“This is always a highlight for our fair, given to people who have contributed for a long long time,” noted Society President John Finlay.

At the AGM presentation, Redden talked about the award and the couple’s contribution before inviting them to the podium.

“This is awarded to individuals who have given significant service to the Society over a considerable period of time,” she noted, adding, “This year a couple has been selected to receive this award. Two individuals who have been involved with the Campbellford Fair for many years and who are already making preparations for this summer.”

A member of the Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural Society for over 36 years, Red-

den has served as Society president, homecraft president and District 3 agricultural director.

The McCrory couple goes quietly about their volunteer work not looking for any pats on the back or commendations and when their names were called they were completely surprised.

The recipient(s) of the award is always kept as a surprise until the actual presentation. When accepting Denton spoke briefly and humourously about how he started helping with small tasks at the request of a fair board member and this turned into more and eventually to his long-term commitment to the fair.

“Their contribution to the fair begins with Tuesday morning setup where they are among the first to roll in and start getting things in place and really doesn’t end until the following Monday with cleanup,” said Redden.

“In between, they assist with a number of tasks from helping with judging on Friday morning to taking shifts in the food booth.

Their work doesn’t just end with the fair it continues throughout the year from calling for pies, selling tickets and helping with whatever assistance may be needed for fundraisers,” she added.

The McCrory couple is in the company of other past recipients such as Marilyn Pollock, Jim Curle, Bob Teasdale and Ralph Parr.

Hastings students bring history alive

By Bill Freeman Hastings – Preparing for a trip to the Royal Ontario Museum, Grade 3-4 students at Hastings Public School decided to serve up a taste of the museum experience closer to home, transforming their classroom and library into a showcase for their own explorations in history.

The Grade 3 class has been studying life in Upper Canada including First

Nations and pioneers and their Grade 4 classmates travelled back in time to ancient civilizations.

“They’ve learned a lot,” teacher Carolyn Tees says.

“It is really bringing learning to life,” Tees said of the idea of creating museum-like displays.

“What I like is their enthusiasm; they’re so enthusiastic and as a teacher you really learn the most by explaining to somebody else or by doing

so that’s what they’re experiencing; they’re the teachers, they’re the ones showing (and) they’re so proud of themselves. They own it. It’s their learning.”

“It was not an easy life,” said Grade 3 student Sadie Turcott, who took on the role of pioneer teacher leading small groups of student visitors in a lesson.

“It’s been very interesting and really cool studying pioneers,” said Brynn Cruikshank, in Grade 3, who teamed up with Shania Kroes for a display of wool and early settler spinning. “Wool is very interesting. There were three stages: shearing, cleaning and spinning and brushing it before you put it on the spinning wheel. It would have been very difficult.

“It was a hard life. I couldn’t imagine myself as a pioneer,” Brynn added.

“It would make a long time to make yarn,” Shania agreed. “They had to put it in hot, soapy water and leave it to dry for one or two days and then they’d brush it and spin in into yarn. It would have been very hard to get the water and soap, especially the hot water.”

“I would have liked the sewing and helping out with the cooking,” said Samara Archibald who presided over a pioneer cooking display.

“We talked about how museum displays have to be visual; you want people to see things,” said Tees. “For many this (the trip) will be their first museum experience.”

“One of the big ideas they’re learning in social studies is just how much times change. There’s nothing really like going there in your own mind Langley Allan, a Grade 3 student at Hastings Public School, shows off some furs at her – making models to really get that concept.” pioneer history display.

Alzheimer Awareness, joint services and an ATM for arena

By Brett Mann Tweed – Tweed council’s January meeting heard only one public delegation, a request for moral support for the January Alzheimer Awareness campaign presented by Darlene Jackson, education support co-ordinator for the Hastings-Prince Edward Alzheimer Society. In an animated and informative talk, Jackson reported that one in ten individuals over the age of 65 is diagnosed with dementia.

By age 85 the rate has risen to one in three people, but dementia occurs in people in their 50s, 40s “and even in their 30s.”

Jackson underlined the demands Alzheimer disease places on caregivers.

“You’re looking at people who are still working, who have small children at home, and it’s tearing families apart, it’s tearing marriages apart, people are losing their homes.” There are an estimated 492 cases of dementia in people over 65 in Centre Hastings, including Stirling, Madoc, Marmora and Tweed.

Jackson noted the Alzheimer Society is non-profit and mostly dependent on non-government support. She would not be asking council for funding she said, but asked that the mayor, council and staff pose for a photo with a small sign saying “I am a Dementia Friend.”

Council obliged and included Danny Watson, eastern district manager for Union Gas who was present for the meeting. “Your numbers are scary,”

Mayor Albert observed.

Watson appeared before council to make reassurances about Union Gas responsibilities in street repair following gas line installations. DeputyMayor Brian Treanor received clarification on some details and council agreed to a second and third reading of a bylaw supporting the Union Gas application for a continued franchise agreement.

Mayor Albert and other councillors (Councillor Don DeGenova was absent) reported on meetings they had attended with the mayor noting an AMO board meeting is approaching, as is the Winter Carnival. Deputy-Mayor Treanor said he was “enthused” at the joint services agreement with Stirling

for Fire Department administration, saying he “hoped more municipalities would come in.”

Bylaws were adopted to approve a formal emergency response agreement between the municipality and Hastings County, to routinely permit the municipality to borrow money if needed, and to approve two requests for rezoning and land severance.

Purchase of a 39 horsepower John Deere utility tractor at a cost of $58,298.81, HST included was recommended by Public Works Manager Al Broek and accepted. The report of acting CAO/Clerk Betty Gallagher recommended the emergency services agreement with Hastings County mentioned above and noted the municipality will receive $23,790 from the federal government for a new audio system, automatic door and ramp for council chambers.

Among several unfinished business items, council passed a resolution in favour of a Ministry of Transportation

“Connecting Links” application for funding for traffic and crosswalk signs and lighting with the Ministry paying 90 per cent of costs.

Council approved numerous committee recommendations including hiring a full-time Fire Prevention/ Operations Officer, permitting placement of an ATM machine in the arena, hiring part-time summer staff for the Parks and Recreation Department and granting two claims for livestock losses. A request by MP Mike Bossio to use a space in the municipal office for a satellite office every fourth Tuesday of every second month was approved.

Under correspondence – action, council discussed insurance for Winter Carnival events and advised that because this is not a committee of council, and thus covered by the municipality, organizers would be wise to obtain their own coverage. Council took note of the Gore Mutual Insurance School Boys and Girls Curling Please see “Tweed” on page 17

Public participation is healthy, Art observes. “We’ve been running about 25 to 30 people.

Centre Line solar project cancelled Westwood – A proposed 500 kilowatt ground mount solar project on the Centre Line has been cancelled by Peterborough Utilities Inc. (PUI) and its solar projects corporation (PSPC).

Citing “property limitations” and “grid connection costs,” the PSPC has decided not to move ahead with the 2,400 panel project east of Westwood at 400 Centre Line. The PSPC continues to move forward on the final details of rooftop solar projects at the AsphodelNorwood Community Centre and Public Works building

that will produce a total of 350 kWs. The PSPC terminated the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) contract it received for the Centre Line project.

“When the (Centre Line) site was brought to us it was summer and the conditions were totally different now than in summer. It appeared completely dry,” Mike Owen, director of project risk management for Peterborough Utilities Inc., told council.

The Centre Line ground mount project wasn’t part of the discussions PUI had with

the township in 2012 when it first talked about the rooftop solar proposals at the community centre and public works building, said Owen.

“There were some environmental issues with that project and some issues with the terrain,” he said of the Centre Line proposal.

The environmental aspect couldn’t be identified until after they did a soil analysis, Owen added.

Following a feasibility study of the property, PSPC conducted both a geotechnical and environmental assessment and “at

that time identified the wetland area (which) pretty much covered the entire (east) side of the property,” added project manager, generation, Rishi Poddar.

Then they did a topographic survey to see if they could “still fit in a sizeable system.”

But Poddar said the west side had “significant slopes,” between ten and 30 per cent, and was “quite limiting for us to put

any panels in that area.”

On the entire property there were only two useable areas, one 1.4 acres and another 2.1 acres in size.

On top of those constraints, Poddar said Hydro One’s overall connection cost was “significant” at approximately $350,000.

Councillor Debbie Lynch encouraged Peterborough Utili-

ties to make sure residents in the Centre Line area know the project has been cancelled.

“It would be good public relations. I think the residents deserve that,” said Lynch.

Mayor Terry Low suggested it might be easier for the municipality to communicate with residents in that area on behalf of Peterborough Utilities through tax bills.

Medical marijuana has council thinking of interim control bylaw

By Bill Freeman Havelock – Township councillors want to take a careful look at the implications of medical marijuana operations on land use planning and could pass an interim control bylaw to give them “breathing space” to study and review federal legislation and what other municipalities are doing to address the burgeoning issue.

The township has already had one company indicate it’s interested in applying for a zoning bylaw amendment and building permit for a 5,000 square foot greenhouse on County Road 46 for the cultivation of medical marijuana.

Most municipalities “don’t offer any policies or regulatory frame-

work” for land use activities like this because it’s only quite recently that they’ve become legal, planner Daryl Tighe told council.

“Neither the township’s official plan or zoning bylaw currently contemplate this form of land use” so there’s no “framework to assist council with any assessing” of these types of applications, Tighe added.

Tighe estimates that there are at least 27 approved growers in Ontario with facilities located “by and large” in what he termed “willing hosts.”

Some municipalities have actively sought out production facilities, he said noting that Smith Falls was quite involved in drawing Tweed Inc. to the 480,000 square foot former Her-

shey Chocolate plant with one-third of it now used for medical marijuana production.

Tighe says HBM could address the issue proactively or reactively.

“There are various considerations that should first be taken into account to ensure that proper land use planning is being used throughout the municipality,” he cautioned.

Right now, with no “policy basis” to use as a guide and “uncertainty” about what direction the federal government might take on the legalization of recreational usage, Tighe says there’s no way of knowing whether HBM will receive additional inquiries.

He supports consideration of an interim control bylaw which he calls a “forward approach” that would give HBM at least one year, and possibly two, to thoroughly study the medical marijuana production issue and all its ramifications.

But an “interim control bylaw is not intended to provide an indefinite prohibition,” Tighe stressed.

The reactive approach, he says, would be to deal directly with the zoning bylaw amendment request.

“The ramifications of the reactive approach I find more troublesome than the proactive approach.”

“There are a lot of questions about this,” Mayor Ron Gerow admitted.

“I know there are other communities dealing with this in some way.

I think it’s important that we get it right and that we take the time to do that. We need to review the interim control bylaw to see if that meets our needs.”

Deputy-Mayor Jim Martin agreed adding that they also need to get a handle on what direction the federal governmaent plans to follow both on the medical and recreational side of things.

“There’s a whole host of things (to consider),” said Gerow.

The City of Belleville’s planning advisory committee recently supported amending a zoning bylaw to include language dealing specifically with medical marijuana production and dispensaries.

ELDORADO CEMETERY

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING MONDAY MARCH 14, 2016 7:00 pm

Some by-laws will be amended

ELDORADO Community Centre 15651, Hwy #62

Value of forests subject of Feb. 11 presentation Forests in rural landscapes, traditionally valued for wood and maple syrup production, are now recognized for the diverse ecological goods and services they provide. They clean our air and water, they store carbon dioxide, and much more.

On Feb. 11 in Ivanhoe, Danijela PuricMladenovic, Landscapes Analyst with the Ministry of Natural Resources & Forestry, presents Our Forests: Benefits and Threats.

Forests provide diverse economic, social and environmental benefits to rural and urban communities across southern Ontario.

While our appreciation of forest diversity and benefits has been evolving, our forests are more vulnerable and threatened than ever before in human history. Risks to our forests also have a negative impact on the livelihood of communities. Traditional ways of forest and landscape management need to change and we need to build forest and landscape resilience. Come and discuss some innovative ideas with the community.

Danijela specializes in Landscape Architecture & Urban Forestry. She is developing innovative tools for forest conservation, land-use planning, and restoration of Ontario’s landscapes.

This triple-header also features Ernie Demuth, a member of the Ontario Professional Foresters Association and the Senior Compliance Technician for the Bancroft Minden Forest Company. He will introduce the silvicultural methods used in forestry and the challenges in dealing with Beech Bark Disease. The impacts of this disease on the hardwoods of Hastings and Haliburton Counties will be significant.

Tim Gray, Forest Management Specialist with Forests Ontario’s 50 Million Trees Program, will give an overview of subsidised tree planting programs that provide substantial savings to landowners and deliver a high level of technical and operational assistance. Landowners will discover how they may reduce taxes on forested properties.

The evening session takes place Thursday, Feb. 11 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Huntington Veterans Community Hall, 11379 Highway 62, in Ivanhoe. An entrance fee of $5 per person (or a donation) will help cover costs. Children are free.

Quinte Conservation hosts talk on helping wildlife

By Terry McNamee You find a fawn abandoned in the woods, or a baby bird on the ground. What should you do to help?

Amazingly, nothing at all, says Janet Fenton, from Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre in Napanee.

On Thursday, Jan. 28, Fenton visited the Quinte Conservation Area to give a talk about helping wild animals that are injured, abandoned or in distress. More than 20 people showed up on a snowy night to learn more about the work of Sandy Pines and how to help wildlife.

“Our three Rs are rescue, rehabilitation and release,” Fenton said.

She said that Sandy Pines was founded 20 years ago

by Sue Meech, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. She said, in an average year, more than 2,000 mammals, birds and reptiles and birds in need of assistance are brought to the centre, where they are cared for by staff and a team of about 200 volunteers. The volunteers include drivers who pick up animals anywhere between Toronto and Montreal.

Other animals commonly brought in are baby skunks, raccoons and squirrels.

“We do get a lot of skunks in,” Fenton said. “They can spray when they’re young,

and tomato juice does not work (to remove the smell).

You just smell like tomato juice and skunk!”

Instead, if you get sprayed, use a soap called — what else? — Skunk Soap.

In this area, many turtles get run over by cars, often cracking the shell.

“It is quite painful for a turtle to have its shell cracked, and we have to give them pain medication,” she said.

Owls are often brought in after being hit by trucks while the birds are hunting.

“It can take a long time for them to heal,” she said.

As for fawns, not every fawn left alone has been abandoned.

“We do get lots of fawns in because their moms were hit by a vehicle, but we also get them kidnapped!” Fenton said.

She explained that a doe will leave her fawn alone most of the day, returning only to feed it. But if a person interferes and moves the fawn, the mother will not take it back, so it should be left alone.

People also need to clean up after themselves when enjoying the outdoors, she said. Leaving plastic, fishing line, abandoning nets and so on can kill wildlife.

She said the centre has treated a turtle with a fishing hook in its mouth and

osprey, geese and raccoons tangled in fishing line. If you find fishing line, nets or other dangerous debris, gather it up and dispose of it before animals and birds are hurt, she said.

The centre will send a volunteer to pick up an injured animal, but also will collect road kill to feed their birds of prey. People can volunteer at the centre or apply to be an intern.

Other ways to help include recording sightings of reptiles or sponsoring an animal at the centre.

But, people should not try to raise injured or abandoned wildlife themselves, Fenton said, in part because special skills are needed, but also because only those with a special permit

are open even if the bridge isn’t.”

A well-used pedestrian walkway links the north and south and Alvarado and the Blades are hopeful people will travel to town either via the detour or to the south parking lot near Banjos Restaurant where they can park and walk across the canal.

“I want people to come over to shop in Hastings, have a coffee, go to lunch, and shop in the stores. The quest for the key opens the doors to our Warrior Weekend which features all kinds of activities,” says Alvarado. “There are a ton of things.”

At the Civic Centre, visitors can try on armour and helmets, participate in chain mail construction, and learn more about the Western Medieval Martial Arts training Knights must do to qualify to fight for the Blades of Glory. The Blades of Glory throne and crown will be at the centre for people to try out.

Elementary teachers ratify collective agreement Peterborough The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board and the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario – Kawartha Pine Ridge Locals announced that they have ratified new collective agreements for both occasional and contract teachers, effective Sept. 1, 2014 to Aug. 31, 2017.

“Two-tiered bargaining created some challenges when negotiating our own local agreement. We are pleased that we were able to sit and discuss members’ issues and concerns and are confident that we have reached a deal that protects the best interests of our members and students,” stated Shirley Bell, ETFO – Kawartha Pine Ridge Local

president in a press release.

The board’s approximately 1,300 elementary teachers have been without a collective agreement since September, 2014.

“We are very pleased to reach an agreement after the challenges and altered processes that we all experienced,” stated Marsha Jones, ETFO – Kawartha Pine Ridge Local president – occasional teachers.

“We are very pleased that we have been able to come to an agreement that meets the needs of both parties and reflects the dedication and excellence of our teaching staff. Our teachers are instrumental in providing a successful future for our students,” stated Cathy Abraham, board chairperson.

Stirling Council learns about Alzheimer’s disease and dementia ten.

In another presentation to Council, local resident Theresa Jo-Anne O’Heir complained about the dates when tax payments were taken out of her account. She said that they were coming out twice a month, and when a person receives income only at the end of the month, this can result in a not-sufficient-funds charge of $45 by the bank.

“We didn’t have double payments in 2014, only 2015,” she said.

Township treasurer Roxanne Hearns said the Township has no control over what date the money is taken out by the bank if the person has

signed up for preauthorized payments.

“If you bring in 12 postdated cheques for the end of the month, they will be cashed at the end of each month,” Hearns said.

She added that people

also can pay in person at their bank or at the municipal office with debit, cash r cheques.

“Okay, that solves it,” O’Heir said, and left satisfied that the problem had been solved.

Council objects to stat chart by OPP, calls for changes Madoc - Centre Hastings municipal council agrees statistical bar charts presented in the 2015 Community Policing report show a misleadingly high rate of “incidents” in Centre Hastings.

Councillor Eric Sandford pushed the point asking council to consider a motion to contact the local OPP detachment with their concerns.

Council has been assured numerous times by the Community Policing representative Wynn Rollins and Staff-Sergeant Peter Valiquette, that the large portion of activity in statistics represents visits to the regional office for “non-criminal” activity, like getting a criminal record, or vulnerable per-

son clearances, and other administrative issues.

Both Councillors Sandford and Bob Hadley agreed, if perspective investors should review police records for Madoc and region, they would see the highest rate of incidents at the Central Hastings detachment, which sits on the outskirts of the Village of Madoc.

The first incident chart shown in the CPAC report shows 1,161 incidents at the Madoc office in 2015, when in actuality, 773 of those were for administrative work.

In total, 388 of those incidents recorded were for actual incidents within the public sector, a number which in comparison to other communities is relatively low, considering Madoc is at the junction of two major

highways connecting the east and west of Ontario and the north and south of Hastings County.

Council feels these incidents should be recorded statistically as another line in the public chart with true police-attended calls separate.

The Central Hastings OPP detachment serves residents from eastern Tweed-Hungerford region to Marmora and Lake in the west, north to Tudor and Cachel and south to the Stirling/Belleville policing boundary.

A multitude of agencies send volunteers and workers to the detachment for their necessary paperwork.

The argument revolved around municipal goals, set on growing economic and residential investors.

Stirling-Rawdon — People with dementia are often treated as if they have disappeared, but a new campaign launched this year is reminding people that these patients are “Still Here.”

Darlene Jackson, Education Support co-ordinator for the HastingsPrince Edward branch of the Alzheimer Society, has been speaking to local city and township councils, and on Monday, Feb. 1, it was Stirling-Rawdon’s turn to hear her message.

“There are people out there suffering with this disease on their own,” Jackson said. That needs

to change, and people need to help both those with dementia and their families and caregivers.

She said life doesn’t end with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or other form of dementia.

“Life got a little difficult for them, but for many years, people lie with this disease. We’re working with people as young as 30, 40, 50.”

With an aging population, she said, there are now more people in Canada over the age of 65 than under, and that means more cases of dementia and a greater need for others to get involved and ensure these patients get the help they need and are not forgot-

Free indoor playtime in Campbellford attracts moms and tots

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Playtime is important, just ask three-year-old Mia, whose mom Rebecca Szerenyi of Campbellford, takes her two children to St. John’s United Church to enjoy a free indoor program.

“I like to do crafts ‘cause they let me do it and it’s fun,” said Mia who was joined by her brother 18-monthold Marley.

The free program was the brainchild of Rebecca and the church which offers the space for free.

The program is available on the third Tuesday of each month from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. so at that early time of the day, it attracts moms and preschoolers but is open to children of all ages.

“We do our crafts and we have a nursery that has a playroom and toys. We try and do gross motor skills games too,” said Szerenyi.

The church helps provide snacks for the children.

On the day of this visit, the children were busy using glue to put cotton batten balls and eyes cut out of construction paper onto a drawing of

a polar bear.

“This program is something different for the kids so they can get together and we can meet new people,” said Szerenyi.

The parents enjoy meeting other moms too.

“The really cool thing is we get a lot of moms that have kids at different stages and there’s a lot of support. We had a couple of moms last month who had younger babies who were still breast feeding so we had like an impromptu breast feeding support group,” she said enthusiastically.

Another time there were moms “who cloth diapered,” so it became a topic for discussion. “You also learn about baby wearing, whether it’s a carrier or a rack or a sling you use to bring your child with you,” Szerenyi commented.

The two hours goes by very quickly as moms enjoy the social aspect of the morning.

“It’s good because we get such a wide range of children in ages that parents have gone through a lot of different things and you can learn about things,” she added.

“There’s also stuff sometimes we don’t want to ask the doctor because we don’t know what they’re going to say.”

Amy Menzies of Campbellford is another mom who enjoys the free activities that her daughter Violet, age 2, can enjoy.

“I love that it because it gives us a chance to get out and she can play with different toys and different kids in a different environment and I can meet moms that are in the same position we are,” she commented.

Her daughter enjoys the indoor slide. “Amy loves to just be able to run wild in a new place,” said Menzies with a grin.

There is a second program that is also free and is held at the church. It is called “Toddler Time” and takes place on the third Thursday of each month from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

“It is in the auditorium and more like a gym program for the kids,” said Szerenyi.

For more information about either program call the church at 705-653-2283.

Campbellford -- The Campbellford Rebels will hold their second annual Skate-a-thon for the Hospital Feb. 27 and they want people of all ages to join them.

Last year’s skate-a-thon “was a lot of fun and the players and team supporters are anxious to host the event again” in support of “a cause that we all care very deeply about,” Jim Peeling, the team’s president, said in a news release.

The fundraiser will take place Saturday, Feb. 27 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Campbellford/Seymour Arena.

The funds raised by partici-

pants through pledges will go toward the purchase of high priority medical equipment for the hospital. The CMH Foundation is just past the halfway mark in raising funds for the purchase of a $140,000 chemistry analyzer for the laboratory.

“We are thrilled that once again the Rebels players, staff and supporters are stepping up to support the Hospital” foundation, chairman Calvin Newman said. “We had a blast skating with the Rebels last year and it was especially wonderful to see people from 5 to 75 take part. It was a great community event!”

Curlers ‘scramble’ at Faith Ride Memorial Interclub Bonspiel in Campbellford

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – The Faith Ride Memorial Interclub Bonspiel returned to the Campbellford curling club after a sixyear hiatus. The last time the bonspiel was hosted here was in 2010.

“Faith Ride was an experienced curler who, after moving to Peterborough with her husband Jack, started the Ladies’ Interclub League. Faith passed away in June of 2008 but her family has kept her “curling” legacy going by sponsoring the

annual bonspiel,” said Jackie Igleheart, who organized this year’s event.

The bonspiel rotates to a different club each year.

Teams from seven clubs participated including Ennismore, Lakefield, Peterborough Curling Club, Peterborough Golf and Curling Club (PGCC), Omemee, Campbellford and Keene.

This was a cash bonspiel rewarding the top three teams in each draw and the overall winning team got their name on the Faith Ride trophy which travels

from club to club each year.

The winning team took the late draw and position of “top overall team” and the curlers included Skip Debbie McCarthy of Campbellford; Vice Beth Goodge of the PGCC; Second Kim Ray from Ennismore; and Lead Wava Brown representing Keene. The reason there were curlers from different clubs is because organizers decided to try something new and make it a scramble event.

“It was a terrific and successful day for all the ladies and the club. There were two full draws

and two six-end games,” Igleheart noted.

“Most exciting was the scramble mode adopted. Each team consisted of a different player from four other clubs, giving the ladies a great opportunity to curl and socialize with friends and curlers they have never met,” she said as she remarked on the fact there was “a unique lunch” served consisting of a salad bar and a build your own potato plate featuring seven toppings including chili. “It too was a huge hit with the ladies.”

Igleheart acknowledged the bonspiel was a successful because of the help of many other people and sponsors. “A very special thank you to Jack Ride, the bonspiel sponsor (Faith’s husband) and to Jennifer Ride (Faith and Jack’s daughter) who were able to enjoy the day curling and present the trophy to the McCarthy rink,” said Igleheart.

“And a bonspiel doesn’t happen without the dedication and volunteers of club members,” she added as she thanked her

Madoc Kiwanis host 25th anniversary of Bruce Lee House League

By Diane Sherman Madoc - It has been a while since the Bruce Lee Hockey League held a public fundraising event, 2011 to be exact, and with the influx of young players mounting to 177 this season, they hope to raise funds for another evening of ice time next year.

The Kiwanis club of Madoc has been a strong supporter of the league over the years, making yearly donations for team shirts and gear.

They are working with organizers to plan a “Bash for Cash” night April 16, complete with a band and series of raffles and door prizes to celebrate 25 years of the house league.

Funds raised are used to keep the club afloat and when there is enough, they take players and their families to

a professional hockey game. That may be difficult with the number of members this year.

The Kiwanis Club made their annual donation to the executive, Jan. 28, half way through league play. The lobby and dressing rooms were abuzz with young ones and parents.

Jim Denison, president of the Kiwanis Club, noted it was “hard to find a parking space” and was rather amazed with the number of children coming and going.

Harold Bailey, a founding member of the league, said in an off-the-cuff manner, “We really need another night with all of these kids.”

Currently, the league has two evenings of ice time, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays, which if registrations keep coming in will not suf-

fice for next year.

Denison with Kiwanis members Jim Duguid, Mike Taylor, Ron Ellis and John Ellis, who also serves as time keeper, made the $500 donation, while organizers displayed their 25year banner.

A dedicated team of volunteers has kept the house league active over the years, with help of donations from businesses and service clubs.

Organizers Karen and Harold Bailey keep the house league in play but say they couldn’t do it without the volunteers who take various roles from coaching to equipment management.

Tickets for the big bash will be available the end of February.

Midget Hawks sweep first playoff series 3 games to 0

By Brett Mann Tweed – With a 4-1 victory over the Lakefield Chiefs at the Tweed-Hungerford Arena last weekend the Midget C Tweed Hawks took 3 straight games in the 3 out of 5 series. The Chiefs drew first blood, putting the puck past Hawks

goalie Jayden Haight in the first two minutes of play. The Hawks took it in stride and came back with a goal by Ben Broek a few minutes later in the last second of a Hawks power play, assisted by Nate Broek and Joel Albert.

The Hawks dominated play for the rest of the game and Lakefield couldn’t find

the Tweed net again although Haight had to deal with a flurry of re-bound shots and a dangerous fast bouncing slapshot from the blue line. The Midget Hawks demonstrated great passing and puck control skills throughout the game, keeping the Chiefs bottled up in their own zone and quickly clearing the puck from the Hawks zone. Tweed put two more points on the scoreboard in the second period with goals by Joel Albert, assisted by Tyler Whalen, and by Kurtis Giles with assists

by Dyson Cassidy.

Joel Albert scored one more insurance goal near the

U19 Women’s World

end of the third period, assisted by Ben Broek.

The game was physical and hardhitting. The Chiefs were outnumbered, putting only 10 players on the ice, and they showed signs of exhaustion from the frequent shift changes by the third period. Both teams gave up numerous power play opportunities with a total of 18 minutes in penalties for Lakefield and 16 for Tweed.

The Atom C Hawks are also off to a promising playoff season, winning their first 3 games against the Norwood Hornets. The Juvenile Hawks are struggling, losing 3 in a row to the Loyalist Jets. The Atom AE, the PeeWee AE and Bantam C Hawks teams have all yet to win a playoff game while the PeeWee C’s are down 4 games to 3 with one tie. The Novice, Atom AE and PeeWee Hawks all play home games this weekend.

YMCA Strong Kids benefits from Trent Valley Karate Club tournament held Sunday at Trenton

By Margriet Kitchen Trenton - Trent Valley Karate Club, started 33 years ago, and now, with more than 100 students ranging in age from three to over 80 years of age, hosted the YMCA Quinte West Karate tournament on Sunday at the Trenton YMCA Gymnasium.

The YMCA Strong Kids program will benefit to the amount of $3,000, thanks to all the people who supported the event, and the many volunteers who made it possible. The tournament welcomed 120 competitors with over 300 spectators attended from all parts of Hastings County, Kitchener, London, Bancroft, Haliburton and even Quebec. Events included Kata, Sparring, Grappling, Weapons and Team Kata, with divisions ranging through all ages as well as levels of belts. People from London, Chicoutimi, Kitchener, and all local communities were represented.

Karate, the Japanese word for “empty (kara) hands (te),” was born in the Okinawan Islands as a form of self defense in the late 17th century, at a time when weapons were banned by invading Japanese forces. Karate is a described as a

self-defence system that combines fast, direct techniques with great power, generated through body movement. Today, karate-do is taught all around the world, and though it is often modified and always changing, in its current form, karate is less than 200 years old. By the 20th century, karate’s value as a character building and health promoting martial art was soon being taught in many of Okinawa’s schools. In the 1930’s, karate made it’s way to Canada, and in 1964, the Canadian Karate Assoc. was formed

by Masami Tsuruoka and four other karate instructors.

The Trent Valley Karate club’s Sensei Bob and Bev Leonard teach classes in Karate, Jiu Jitsu, Tai Chi and Self Defence at YMCA Quinte West, YMCA Belleville and Stirling Public School. To contact Sensei Bob or Bev please call: 613-395-2835 www.facebook.com/Trent-Valley-Karate Parents and instructors commented that the sport is a great way to instill confidence. Some kids get bullied at school, but the instructors and guidance of the sensei gives them a new assurance. Attitudes and school marks improve and the children enjoy a sense

of self worth and confidence.

Another local club represented at the tournament, by Magwood Martial Arts of Madoc, sensei Greg Magwood, holds classes at Madoc and Marmora. http://www.magwoodsmartialarts. com/ After the competition, Bob and Bev made their closing remarks and thanks to all those who attended. Bob observed, “This is the first time we have tried a team competition for Kata. It was a great effort for such a large team, including from white to black belts as a team. Thank you.” Four teams had entered this end of the day event, with three – two person teams, and the host team fielding twelve competitors ranging through all ages and levels to present a unified effort in their kata movements.

In her closing remarks, Bev was visibly moved, “We had people who helped us in many areas, and allowed the participants and organizers to have no worries. They have all believed in their sensei and this club. Our thanks to Sensei Robert Walther who manned the microphone today, we are all here because of that man. This was a fundraiser for the YMCA Strong Kids pro-

Deloro filmmakers nominated for awards at the London International Film Festival

By Margriet Kitchen

Deloro – “We are just so, so excited, mainly to bring the story of Deloro to the world.

We are also trying to raise more local awareness, and have hoped to highlight a legacy for the young people for the future.”

These are the words of local filmmaker Laura Forth, half of the husband/wife production team who created the film Lest We Forget – The Price of Freedom. The film has been screened and nominated in the category of best director of a short documentary, as well as the scientific and educational award.

The world’s first digital Cenotaph in Deloro, which Laura and James campaigned for, can be scanned with a smart phone or other digital device to take you to the online film, Lest We Forget.

“We dreamt the project up ourselves after moving to Deloro in 2011. We saw a lovely home advertised, at 1/10 the price of a similar home in Toronto, and in such a quaint picturesque little village. We saw a man going along our street with a Geiger counter because of the level of radiation.

We started going to public meetings regarding the pollution in the Deloro mine

area and asked ourselves, what have we done, where have we moved to?”

Because of the pollution concerns, they learned about stellite and cobalt.

“With the interest in the environmental impact of these metals, we started learning of the importance of the mine to the allied war effort in both world wars,” stated Forth. Commenting on a new beginning for Deloro with the successful environmental cleanup, Laura stated, “We are thrilled to be part of the rejuvenation of the village. We wanted to change people’s perception of Deloro. It is a terrific place to live with a sense of pride.

“It was a pivotal moment when we connected that if it wasn’t for Deloro and refining of stellite and cobalt we might have lost WWII. Canada upgraded the Deloro refinery to make up for the loss of one in Belgium.

We also focussed on the army aspect because of the involvement of Veteran’s Affairs Canada in the making of the film.”

“We think it’s a very heroic story, the miners, all the local men and women who went off to the two world wars, everyone you knew had someone who went off. Like so many others, the village gave the best

and brightest, and the ones left behind did a heroic thing in the mines,” stated Forth.

Both Laura and James have a background as professional artists, as well as various theatre positions over the past 20 years,

and have taught at Toronto Film College in history, digital editing, screen writing, etc.

“We would love to have schools and young people involved in projects and learning, the digital aspect makes it interesting

to young people. We would like to work with area youth at risk, to help teach television skills, to nurture enthusiasm for positive models of behaviour, promote teamwork, and community involvement.”

Just after Christmas, the couple learned that their film would be screened at the London IFF, and that it was also nominated for the two awards. They have also subPlease see “Deloro” on page B2

County policing remains key issue

By Jack Evans

Police services and costs remain a key issue for most municipal politicians in Hastings County.

While not discussed at any length at the January meeting, correspondence in the agenda included a copy of a letter to all member municipalities from county CAO Jim Pine, reporting on a large area in Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry under an apparently workable OPP arrangement, with estimated costs for Hastings of a similar plan at about $10 million.

The letter asks that each member respond to indicate support for a formal request or not. The deadline for response was Jan. 28.

His letter had stated, in part: “Before moving forward on this issue, it is essential that we know the level of local municipal interest in exploring a county-wide OPP contract.” It also states that a decision at this point is not binding.

Also in the agenda was a copy of a lengthy letter from a concerned citizen, David Daunter, of Marmora, who is worried about potential long-range costs for OPP policing and suggested a broader approach to include the

County agreement boosting broadband

By Jack Evans

county’s own police force or a deal with established municipal forces at Belleville or Trenton and even a broader region to include Prince Edward County.

Police costs have taken such a toll on Stirling-Rawdon in the past few years that Mayor Rodney Cooney reported that his municipality is financially “non-sustainable.” He cited a loss of $6 million over the past three years owing to policing costs.

Warden Rick Phillips and several other members of council pledged what support they could in terms of resolutions or meetings with senior provincial officials as necessary.

Strongly recommended by CAO Jim Pine after lengthy negotiations, Hastings County Council Thursday passed a bylaw to enhance Internet connections for County buildings across the region.

The deal, which offers figbre-optic connectivity through Bell Canada, was arranged through EORN (Eastern Ontario Regional Network) which has been working for years to get Internet services throughout all rural areas in eastern Ontario. Some 100 municipalities joined in a competitive bid call to make the arrangements

with Bell Canada. These resulted in improved connectivity at reduced cost, said Pine.

The first phase of the project will see improved broadband access to 14 specific sites across the county. These include municipal offices, emergency service headquarters and long term care facilities like Centennial Manor and hospitals. From these, WiFi service can be expanded to include downtown areas where applicable.

Municipal governments, especially, will be able to access fibre-based broadband Internet with download

and upload speeds up to 100 megabits per second and high-speed DSL services at more affordable prices. Other efficiencies are included in the project as well including cloud-based computing.

“We are thrilled to be part of this initiative, “ said Warden Rick Phillips.

“Increased high-speed connections to our facilities across the county will help us improve delivery of services and reduce operating costs.”

Cost for any capital investments involved in the project will be born by Bell Canada.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth: An Alternate Arboreal Assortment

On its own-some, I expect the Crimson King Norway maple (and its cousin the Royal Red) is not a bad tree to see. However, when I drive through some suburbs and see row upon row of street plantings augmented by the same front yard “accent” tree, it becomes a bit much.

Gentle Reader, I’m not going to get up on a soapbox and rail on about native trees.

I, myself, do prefer native trees or their descendants but I’m not against “imports.” Can you imagine our landscapes without magnolias, peaches, gingkoes, horse chestnuts or weeping willows?

What I, myself, like to see is diversity, especially in a neighbourhood.

On an estate, a colonnade of majestic oaks might present an architectural statement denoting endurance, perhaps announcing the substantial nature of the owners. It just doesn’t work in the suburbs for several reasons. Imagine if you have a monoculture suburban forest and a disease or pest comes knocking? It doesn’t

have to be a catastrophic infection or infestation. In Trenton, during a hot, humid summer, you can see a certain west end neighbourhood with ugly white mildew coating canopy after canopy of the Crimson Kings.

The trees won’t die but, certainly, their aesthetic appeal is smothered. A second reason is that often trees are selected based on their “cleanliness”; in other words, no fruit or seeds to clutter up sidewalks and front lawns.

As a result, many of them are male cultivars, which can be problematic as they dust everyone and everything with allergy-irritating pollen.

The primary reason, imho, for not planting dozens of the same tree is boredom. It is almost depressing to walk down a street of nice homes that are mono-chromatically cladded (except where an adventuresome person might have a red or purple- excuse me, burgundy or plum- painted front door) and decorated with either a honey-locust or little leaf linden on the front lawn . My real estate friends tell me that this makes the property

attractive for resale.

GR, I like lindens and honeylocusts but they seem to be the default second choice after the Norway maple has been planted. Permit me to suggest a few others to add a bit of interest in your urban forest.

Hornbeam. You’ll find two native trees with this name. One is the Hop Hornbeam, which is known better as ironwood, Ostrya virginiana, although the books are insidiously erasing our old familiar names from tithe lexicon. It has its uses, especially if you have a large-ish property and want to have a bit of an arboretum, but it is not especially “pretty.”

The American hornbeam, aka, Blue Beech and ironwood, has almost identical characteristics except it has the following refinements- deep green leaves that turn a brilliant orange with yellow undertones in the fall and it will withstand the urban environment.

Sugar Maple and Silver Maple. It wonders me that folks love to walk through old city sections with mas-

sive sugars and stately silvers yet shy away from planting them on their own property. “Too slow “and “Too messy.” Consider this, GR, for whom are you planting a tree, the real estate agent or your children?

If you answered the latter, then you might also want to take a look at the massive Sycamore or American Planetree, Platanus occidentalis. It will stretch up 90’ and spread out 70’ or so. The leaves look like broad but dowdy maple leaves without much to write about in terms of fall colour.

But, oh, the bark on this beauty is what will make you bring it home.

As a young tree, the exfoliating bark implies it is a suffering, even dyeing, plant. However, as maturity progresses the peeling bark exposes tans, creams, ochres, khakis that are gorgeous to look at. You need a big yard.

If you don’t’ have a big yard, then look at serviceberry, Amelanchier canadensis. A trim little thing that in the wintertime looks a bit like a sugar maple until you notice the alternate branching, thin pointed buds

Dan Clost and diminutive, almost slender proportions. The leaves unfurl to apple look-alikes with very similar fall colourings. Small “apples” will attract goldfinches and cedar wax wings.

There are many others that your research....wait; you are taking time during these dreary winter months to gen up on your options? Other choices might include Ivory Silk lilac tree, tulip tree, magnolia (shrub and standard), Chinese dogwood, and so on. Have some fun, and spruce up your urban forest.

OPINION

Take nothing for granted when flying This is the season for southern sojourns, when so many in our workplaces and neighbouroods are winging their way south, so it’s time for a cautionary tale.

Anyone who has ever flown knows the, ahem, joys of ever-shrinking seat size, of legroom, meals you have to pay for (major credit card only, thank you) and often surly flight attendants among myriad other debasements foisted on us by the big airlines.

But, if you’ve flown enough, you know too of the hazards that are inherent with riding aloft at four five or six nautical miles in the sky in an aluminum tube. It can be a rough ride up there.

In recent weeks, we were reminded of one simple rule of the experience flier. Keep your damn seatbelts buckled.

Seven people were taken to hospital after an American Airlines passenger jet made an emergency landing in St. John’s, N.L., Sunday night following severe turbulence.

“I thought we were going down,” said passenger Jordan Case, of Plano, Texas.

About four hours into the flight, the

plane suddenly dropped and rolled toward one side, Case said. He said people were screaming and crying as flight attendants scrambled to help other injured flight attendants and passengers at the back of the plane.

“It was like a movie.”

It’s not the first time in the last while that turbulence was bad enough to injure passengers.

In December, turbulence forced Air Canada Flight 88 to divert to Calgary during its journey from Shanghai to Toronto. The turbulence was severe enough to send 21 passengers to hospital.

Coming back from a recent flight from Vancouver – well, going and coming, actually – we experienced turbulence over the Rockies. No small wonder, there. Winds aloft are bound to be bumpy over the jagged peaks of the mountains, so the seatbelt light was on much of the way.

While sitting near some novice fliers, I overheard one say to another he felt there wasn’t any need when “these are just little bumps… Hell, these planes are meant to take a lot more.”

Sure thing, Ace, until the plane

drops 1,000 feet in an instant and you and your beer are suddenly weightless, only to have gravity say hello! in a helluva hurry when the plane “bottoms out” at the end of the free fall. That’s when people, laptops and meal trays go flying and you go boom.

I recall a flight back in the mid `70s on an Air Canada DC-9 flight out of Moncton, bound for Montreal, when a couple of notable things happened.

First, I had just been served the best steak I’d ever been treated to in economy on an AC flight (back when they served meals on just about every flight, regardless of length) and had just tucked into it when the plane suddenly violently jerked to port and dove. I mean it went into a controlled, sharp dive without warning and everyone’s dinner tray slid off onto the floor or went momentarily weightless (except mine, which I prevented from departing by spearing said perfect steak with my knife and fork as it was heading for my neighbour’s lap.)

Next came screams and shouts as people thought for sure we were auguring in somewhere around Bathurst

for the big one. Oxygen masks began popping out of the ceiling panels (yes, they really do that and it’s quite something to see) and people began scrambling to put them on. Not me, for some odd reason. I could still breathe quite normally and, again, I had a great steak in front of me and wasn’t about to waste it. Ahead of me, a fellow was furiously scratching and clawing and pounding on the panel over his head as his mask hadn’t deployed. I suggested he calm down, as there didn’t appear to be a problem breathing. He did.

Pilot came on and explained we’d been cruising about 32,000 feet when there was a sudden loss of cabin pressure owing to a blown seal of some sort (later found out it was a cargo door seal – a recurring problem on DC-9s at that time). We had shot down to 10,000 feet where it’s safe in an unpressurized aircraft.

Problem was, the air at 10,000 feet is like the Tilt-a-Whirl and it was a rocky ride, indeed.

Pilot had a choice, continue on to Montreal like that or turn back to Moncton. Back we went.

Still it was a damn fine steak, all

Chris Malette in all, and yes, I’d had my seatbelt fastened the entire time. One stewardess, as they were called way back in the days of Pterodactyl Air, was slightly injured, but we all landed safely.

Point is, flying is something that’s become workaday and routine for many, but simple common sense and patience should be as common as a boarding pass when flying.

After all, there’s nothing remotely natural about soaring through the air in a metal tube.

Meeting the Budweiser Clydesdales in St. Louis, Missouri

By John M. Smith With the approaching “Super Bowl,” I not only look forward to the big football game itself, but also the newest Budweiser commercial featuring their Clydesdales.

After all, these commercials have become so popular over the last few “Super Bowls” that they’ve emerged as one of the day’s highlights.

I particularly remember last year’s awesome commercial about the “Lost Puppy” that’s rescued from a wolf and returned to the farm by the Clydesdales. It was Super Bowl Sunday’s most popular ad!

I had the good fortune to tour the Anheuser-Busch Brewery in St. Louis and meet those awesome Clydesdales on my last visit, and although there’s nothing wrong with an informative brewery tour, the real hit on this one is those gigantic horses that weigh in at about 2,000 pounds (a ton)!

I visited the Budweiser Clydesdale Paddock and Stables, the historic brick and stain-glassed stable built on site in 1885, and here I had a “meet and greet” with one of the world-famous Budweiser

A Clydesdale enjoys some fresh air in the Budweiser Paddock in St. Louis.

Clydesdales. It was a great photo op!

I was told that there are teams of these horses that are on tour throughout the country, and 8 of these mammoth animals are hitched up at one time, but each “team” actually consists of 10 horses (to provide alternatives for the hitch when necessary). I discovered that all the Clydesdales that are selected for this promotional “work” have to be of a certain size and have the blaze of white on the face and the 4 white stocking feet.

I learned that this tradition all began just after Prohibition when August Anheuser Busch, Sr. was presented a gift by his son of a team of Clydesdales pulling a red, white, and gold beer wagon that carried the first case of post-Prohibition beer from the St. Louis brewery.

100 Men Who Care Quinte boost hospice coffers

Belleville – These men just keep upping the generosity ante.

The staff and board of directors of Hospice Quinte happily received a donation of $11,500 from the 100 Men Who Care Quinte fundraising group on Monday, Jan. 25.

This marks the first large donation of the year for the agency.

“It’s wonderful to see the support for Hospice Quinte and palliative care in our community. It is through these kinds of generous donations that Hospice Quinte is able to provide services and programs free of charge to patients and their families,” said Helen Dowdall, Hospice’s executive director.

“We are grateful for this donation which will go towards expanding and enhancing our children’s bereavement programs.”

Hospice Quinte is a volunteer based organization with more than 120 active volunteers serving the Belleville, Quinte West, and South Hastings region.

Hospice Quinte provides a wide range of services, all free of charge, to terminally ill individuals, their caregivers and families. Patients are offered support in local hospitals, long term care facilities and their homes.

Volunteers support families by providing companionship and by providing a break to caregivers.

Hospice Quinte also offers

a variety of bereavement programs to the Quinte region, in addition to individual, group, and children support programs.

In the last fiscal year Hospice Quinte provided 10,000 hours of hospice palliative care to more than 400 clients and patients in the community.

Seventy per cent of its operating budget is made up through fundraising initiatives and private donations such as this.

“It is this strong community support that allows us to continue our vital work in the Quinte region,” added Dowdall. “Hospice Quinte is grateful for all donations from organizations, companies and individuals.”

Anyone looking for more information is urged to contact the office at 613-9666610 or visit www.hospicequinte.ca .

The 100 Men Who Care Quinte group formed last year. The club aims to bring at least 100 men together on a quarterly basis and choose a charity to support. Then, each man in the group is encouraged to donate $100 for that charity.

For more information, including how to join, visit www.100menwhocarequinte. com. There’s also a similar 100 Women Who Care Quinte group. Those interested in the women’s club can visit www.100womenquinte. com .

Hospice Quinte Executive Director Helen Dowdall (middle) and board members Darcey French (left), Joan Guthrie (second from left) and Julie Lange (second from right) accepted a cheque for $11,500 on Jan. 25 from members of the 100 Men Who Care Quinte group.

Teen injured in crash Stirling-Rawdon – Police here say a teenaged boy was transported to hospital in Toronto in serious condition after a collision on a rural road last weekend.

Police for Stirling-Rawdon and other emergency crews were called to Anson Road, near Carmel in Rawdon Township, Friday night after the car driven by a local 16 year old boy veered off the road and struck a tree.

Police said the teen was taken to Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto where he was listed in serious but stable condition.

Stirling-Rawdon Police Chief Dario Cecchin says, although the cause is not known at this time, it does not involve alcohol or drugs.

No further details of the crash were provided by police.

The Sheepdogs’ tour of Canada will stop at the Empire The tour is in support of their new album Future NostalTheatre on Tuesday, March 8. gia, a followup to The Sheepdogs’ 2012 award-winning self-titled LP. The lead single from the new album, Downtown, was recently a top-five hit on Canadian rock radio for 10 weeks.

The new single, I’m Gonna Be Myself, has already climbed into the top 10. The video for the song, directed

by Sean Cartwright, pays homage to motorcycle movies from the ’60s and ’70s.

The Saskatoon-bred “boogie” rockers have risen steadily in popularity since forming in 2006. The Sheepdogs consider their style to be somewhere between the riff heavy bombast of Led Zeppelin and the melodies and harmonies of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

After a number of independent releases, the band graced the cover of Rolling Stone in 2011 by winning the publication’s “Choose The Cover” competition, becoming the first unsigned act ever to do so. During the competition, the band appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and performed at both Bonnaroo Music Festival and Osheaga Festival. In 2012, the group won three Juno Awards: Rock Album of the Year, Best New Group and Single of the Year.

Feed the Meter in Belleville raises $29,163

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville -- On most mornings, about 30 students attend the breakfast program at Prince of Wales public school. They can fuel up on toast, cereal and other healthy food before the bell rings at 9:15 a.m.

“It’s extremely important,” said Tricia Wormington, who co-ordinates the program out of the central Belleville school. “It gives the stu-

dents a chance to have something to eat to prepare themselves for the day in the classroom.”

The breakfast program on Tuesday, Jan. 26 was a little different as it featured several guests, who were there to announce the proceeds of the 2015 Feed the Meter campaign.

The big cheque that was hauled out showed the campaign raised $29,163.20. That money will go to meal programs just like the one at Prince of Wales.

The Feed the Meter campaign is part of the Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation’s Food for Learning program.

The money is raised with help from Belleville, Quinte West and Prince Edward County. All three municipalities stop collecting change from downtown parking meters during December. Instead, change dropped into those meters is considered a donation to the program.

Belleville’s contribution this year was $11,300. Prince Edward County’s was $2,159.15 and Quinte West’s was $6,554.

The mayors of the three communities were all on hand to reveal the news.

This was the seventh year of the fundraisers

YOUR T E L T ’ DON LEASE E L C I H E V OWN. D U O Y CHAIN T. BUST OU

and the money continues to go to good you.

Last year alone, Food for Learning programs provided 978,333 meals and snacks to 14,283 students in Hastings and Prince Edward counties.

That’s refreshing news for educators like Wormington, who see the benefit of breakfast programs every day in school.

She said the idea that students learn better when their bellies are full is no myth. “It helps them be all around better prepared for the day,” she said, looking at a classroom’s worth of energetic kids who were sitting at tables and finishing meals in the moments before the morning bell rang.

Valentine’s Frugal ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day A day set aside to shower a loved one with gifts and touching words of affection, Valentine’s Day brightens the often gloomy month of February. Established centuries ago with origins shrouded in mystery, Valentine’s Day has evolved into one of the most popular — and expensive — days of the year. Many couples celebrate Valentine’s Day with cards, gifts and nights out on the town, and such celebrations can stretch budgets.

Coming on the heels of post-holiday

bills, Valentine’s Day can feel like a costly prospect. Yet, even those on a budget can enjoy a special day to remember without breaking the bank. The following are several frugal ways to enjoy Valentine’s Day. • Create your own greeting card. It can be challenging to find cards that offer just the right sentiments. Sometimes cards seem distant, too risqué or overly sentimental. Instead, create your own card. Find a decorative blank card or make one from card stock. Search

Cupid’s choice!

through your digital photos and print one of the two of you together. Glue on a paper heart border, and then jot down some affectionate sentiments.

• Cleverly wrap favorite chocolate.

Chocolate is synonymous with Valentine’s Day, and it’s easy to spend a lot on gourmet chocolates without even knowing if your valentine will like what’s inside the box. Stick to what you know he or she likes, even if it’s a simple chocolate bar from a convenience store. Buy a few and then wrap them in a fancy box

with ribbon.

• Go out for a small bite to eat. If you’re concerned about the cost of an expensive dinner out or anticipate being restricted to a certain menu, plan to dine at home. You can opt to go out for cocktails prior or head to a café for dessert and cappuccino afterward. This way you’ll still get the experience of going out without being forced to overspend.

• Purchase a rosebush. Bouquets of roses are traditional gifts for Valentine’s Day. However, thanks to the increased

Valentine’s demand, the cost of roses tends to increase as Valentine’s Day draws nearer. If you want to save money but still give roses, buy a plant that blooms each year. Buy a rosebush and plan to put it in the garden come spring when all danger of frost is gone.

• Turn older jewelry new again. Diamonds and other jewelry can be costly. If a new piece simply isn’t in the budget, consider repurposing an older piece of jewelry that isn’t worn as often. It’s amazing what a new setting on a ring can look like or how stones on a seldom-used necklace can be turned into fashionable stud earrings. If you have a good amount of mismatched gold jewelery lying around, you may be able to sell it or have it melted down and turned into a beautiful new creation.
