Mushers took to the trail in Eldorado

By Diane Sherman

Siberian husky teams, more suitable for endurance than short sprints or mid-distance.

This was the second race for Mercier with an eightdog team. He drove from Val Dor, Quebec for the chance.

Gauthier and Jason Turpin came in from La Rose forest area, near Ottawa, where they train with the La Rose group.

A few mushers recently ran the Kearny and Haliburton races. Buttle is hoping to run the CanAm 100 in Maine next if the snow holds.

The Marmora Cup is set to run this weekend, Feb. 27, from the fair grounds if weather prevails.

Sunday, six teams met at volunteer Robert Derry’s farm for a ten-mile run, with race organizer Shane Cox coming in first. Cox says one musher drove all night from Owen Sound for the chance to run.

Organizers say the race was a success, with support from many sponsors supplying cash and prizes and the Lions Club hosting the kitchen with vendors in the recreation hall.

See more about the Eldorado Sled Dog Races on Facebook.

Eldorado - Mushers are a special breed, camping out with their dogs, sleeping in a bag on the sled. To get good they need to work the dogs in races with other teams.

The Eldorado Sled Dog Race is known as a good meet for both rookies and veterans hoping to go on greater adventures. The eight teams that went out Feb. 20, were a prime example of that combination.

Chocpaw Expeditions contender, Keri Buttle is well seasoned, taking vacationers on cross country treks and campouts by dog sled. She took the Eldorado Cup for the second year in a row, finishing in just under two hours.

Eli Golton returns each year to Eldorado, where he first cut his rails as a youngster with his father’s kennel. He finished just a minute after Buttle. Morgan Phillips finished third with the eldest musher, Frank Horn from Elphin, Ontario in fourth with Shane Cox tight by his side.

Young Brady McConkey placed sixth followed by rookie Guillaume Mercier and Jenny-Lee Gauthier, who were both running slower Please see “Mushers” on page 2 Frank Horn and his team clear the crest of the Eldorado hill, the first challenge of the race, which they must ascend on the way back to the finish line.

Health unit concerned over potential funding changes

Lindsay - The nine-person Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit faces a year of potential change in 2016, based on recent provincial announcements that could affect the way Ontario health units are funded and held accountable.

Brighton programs and services could be affected.

In a press released provided by the Health Unit it was noted that it has

learned about a new provincial funding model for Ontario health units which “We need to ensure proper freezes provincial funding to the base checks and budgets of most health units in Ontario, balances are in place to proincluding the HKPR District Health Unit, for the foreseeable future. tect public health Local Board members have warned a programs and services.” long-term funding freeze will amount to a cut in provincial funding as costs ready looking at all its operations for incurred by health units continue to rise. cost-efficiencies, including reviewing the To find savings, the Health Unit is al- way its programs and services are deliv-

Another major change that could affect Ontario health “The Patients First discussion paper is a very important announcement by the province because it has significant potential implications for public health units and other sectors,” local Medical Officer of Health Dr. Lynn Noseworthy told Board members. “We need to ensure proper checks and balances are in place to protect public health

programs and services.”

Board of Health members echoed the sentiment warning that local decisionmaking regarding Health Unit programs and services could be lost under the “Patients First” proposal. In the coming months Board members will gather more information about the discussion paper and consult with their public health colleagues elsewhere in Ontario about what it could mean.

HOTEL AND MOTEL SAFETY TIPS

CALL 911 IN CASE OF FIRE.

The Trent Hills Fire Prevention Team would like to remind everyone that when on holiday a hotel or motel room is your home away from home. It is just as important to be prepared and know what you would do in a hotel/motel emergency as it is in your own home.

Plan ahead • Choose a hotel/motel that is protected by both smoke alarms and a fire sprinkler system. • When you check in, ask the front desk what the fire alarm sounds like.

• When you enter your room, review the escape plan posted in your room. • Take the time to find the exits and count the number of doors between your room and the exit. • Make sure the exits are unlocked. If they are locked, report it to management right away.

• Keep your room key by your bed and take it with you if there is a fire. • Locate the fire hydrant in kitchenettes before cooking.

Leave immediately • If the alarm sounds, leave right away, closing all doors behind you. Use the stairs — never use elevators during a fire.

• If you must escape through smoke, get low and go under the smoke to your exit.

If you can’t escape • SHUT off fans and air conditioners. • STUFF wet towels in the crack around the doors.

• CALL the fire department and let them know your location. • WAIT at the window and signal with a flashlight or light colored cloth.

FFRANCOPHONE RANCOPHONE

Trenton - The YMCA’s second annual 3 on 3 basketball tournament in support of the Strong Kids program is coming up on March 5, and teams interested in playing in the tournament have until Feb. 29, to register.

Tournament co-chairs Carl Bonitto, Garnett Reynolds and YMCA General Manager Ron Riddell said last year’s tournament raised around $650 and this year they are hoping to have more teams and raise around $2,500 to $3,000.

“Last year we had about nine teams so this year we are looking to have about 16, to make it a really good tournament, and a great time for everybody to have fun and enjoy and raise money for the Strong Kids,” said Bonitto.

Registration for the tournament is $60 per team and is open to anyone 14 years and older. Get your game faces on, the returning champions have already registered and are ready to take on the tournament for the second year. =The tournament is a double elimination style bracket and has a DJ on site for the day. This year will also feature a new 3-point contest with prizes for the winning team and 3-point contest winner.

It’s a great atmosphere for some 3-on-3 ball,” Reynolds said. “We have music, prizes and we had a great response from the teams last year.”

Reynolds said the idea came about when they were waiting to play pickup ball on Wednesday nights and he said there was a huge interest in 3-on-3.

“We know there’s a huge basketball culture here so we thought it would be great to get a basketball tournament going and also to contribute back to the Strong Kids because it’s a really good charity.”

The Strong Kids campaign helps to increase opportunities for children and youth in the Quinte area, regardless of their background or financial situation.

The tournament is sponsored by Quinte Septic Tank and Workplace Office Solutions and supported by David and Teresa O’Neil. Additional sponsors include Body Systems Nutrition with protein shakes and prizes from Dimitri’s Pizzeria and Restaurant and Quaker.

To register for the tournament, you can go online at www.ymcaofceo.ca/ special_events-3_on_3_basketball. php or call the Quinte West YMCa at 613-394-9622.

OPINION

Oil downturn

“The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent,” said John Maynard Keynes (or maybe it wasn’t him, but no matter). At any rate, that was the eternal verity the Saudi Arabians were counting on when they decided to let oil production rip – and the oil price collapse – in 2014.

Gwynne Dyer late The Saudi objective was to keep the oil price low enough, long enough, to drive American shale oil producers out of business and preserve the OPEC cartel’s market share. (The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries controls only 30 per cent of world oil production, which is already very low for what was meant to be a price-fixing cartel.)

The end of sanctions against Iran and that country’s push to raise production and regain its old market share put further downward pressure on the oil price. So did the slowdown in China’s economy.

High-cost shale-oil producers in the United States are really hurting (US oil production this year will be down by 700,000 barrels a day), but the OPEC producers are hurting too – and it looks like the Saudis just blinked.

On Tuesday Saudi Arabia, Russia, Venezuela and Qatar announced that they would freeze their oil production at the January level. Most other OPEC members are expected to follow suit, and since Saudi Arabia and Russia (not an OPEC member) are the second- and third-largest oil producers in the world, the freeze will affect almost half of the world’s oil production.

That will not be enough to rescue the economies of OPEC countries and Russia from their current crisis. (All their economies are actually shrinking, and Saudi Arabia has gone from a budget surplus amounting to 13 per cent of GDP in 2012 to a deficit of 21 per cent last year.) Freezing production will not get the oil price back up when the current global production level is at least two million barrels a day higher than global demand.

In fact, the oil glut is so great that the world is running out of places to store the excess production. US and European oil storage facilities are full, and people are already talking about buying tankers as floating storage. Since the beginning of this year the oil price, as high as $115 a barrel less than two years ago, has dipped down into the twenties several times.

Not only will the new production freeze not solve this problem; it won’t really even freeze produc-

Central HastingsTrent Hills News P.O. Box 25009, Belleville, ON K8P 5E0 250 Sidney Street Phone: 613-966-2034 Fax: 613-966-8747 Published weekly by:

tion. If there’s one thing that OPEC members do well, it is to cheat on their production figures and pump more oil than they admit. As for Russia, it broke the last deal it made with OPEC about freezing production, and it will probably do it again.

Ineffective as this deal is, it illustrates the mounting panic in the major oil producers as the prospect of a long period of very low oil prices opens out ahead of them. Saudi Arabia and Russia are edging towards a direct military confrontation in Syria – the Russian air force backs the Assad regime, and the Saudis are talking about sending ground troops to fight it – but the oil price transcends such issues.

So what conclusions may we draw from all this?

First, the price of oil will stay down. In the short run it may even go lower: Morgan Stanley analysts say that oil in the $20 range is possible if China devalues its currency further, and Standard Chartered Bank predicts that prices could hit just $10 a barrel.

The production freeze might allow the oil price to return to the low $40 range in the medium term, if Chinese demand does not collapse entirely and if the producers keep their promises. That price would enable most of the fracking operations in the United States to stay in business, but it would still fall far short of balancing the budgets of Russia and Saudi Arabia. They can’t really afford to have a full-scale war over Syria.

Second, OPEC members with large populations and national budgets that depend heavily on oil revenues (more than 75 per cent) face the prospect of major civil unrest or even revolution. This includes Nigeria, Algeria, Venezuela and Angola.

Iran and non-OPEC member Mexico face lesser political risks, but they are not negligible.

Finally, a prolonged period of low oil and gas prices will hit the whole array of climate-friendly energy and transportation technologies, from wind farms to electric cars. Energy costs still matter, even if governments can rectify the balance to some extent with carbon pricing and other regulatory measures. But coal, the most polluting of the fossil fuels, still faces early extinction since its main rival for power generation is ever cheaper gas.

A ruthlessly rational OPEC leadership (i.e. a Saudi Arabia run by competent economists and strategists) would just end the cash hemorrhage and reduce the political risk by cutting production sharply and getting oil prices back up. But the great gamble to break the US frackers by driving them into bankruptcy was not an ownerless, free-floating policy that somehow took root in OPEC soil.

It was a specific strategy that was conceived and promoted by particular powerful individuals, most notably high-ranking Saudi individuals. They would lose a great deal of face if they had to abandon it, so it will be with us for a while yet.

No first responder left behind Editorial - Chris Malette Anyone who knows a cop, an EMS responder or firefighter has heard the harrowing tales these men and women experience while on the job.

Imagine, you’re a police officer responding to a scene where a life has been taken, or a suicide has occurred. It’s a bloodied scene and there may have been children involved.

Or a firefighter or ambulance first responder needs to crawl into a wreck to help save the life of a trapped individual, someone who may be screaming in pain or seriously maimed in the mishap.

They’re images and experiences journalists often witness, as well, but it’s the above mentioned individuals who bear the brunt of carrying that baggage while trying to do their job.

Day-in and day-out.

The emotional impact of those repeated hits to the psyche can take its toll in the form of illness, even suicide. Now, there seems to be help on the way.

According to reports from Queen’s Park, first responders with post-traumatic stress disorder will be able to get quicker and easier access to benefits and treatment under legislation introduced last Thursday.

The law would create a presumption that PTSD in first responders is work related, removing the need for them to prove a causal link to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board.

The legislation will be fully rolled out after MPPs return from their winter break in midFebruary.

It would cover police officers, firefighters, paramedics, workers in correctional institutions, dispatchers of police, firefighter and ambulance services, and First Nations emergency response teams.

A contingent of first responders travelled to Queen’s Park and spoke of the trials of trying to explain to employers, workers compensation boards and the like that they are indeed struggling with their lives after exposure to on the job mental and emotional trauma.

Labour Minister Kevin Flynn says it’s important to keep safe the people who keep everyone else safe.

He says first responders are at least twice as likely — compared to the general population — to suffer PTSD. “Certainly, it leans that way, and that’s the type of thing we’ve been looking at,” he told reporters after a speech to the Ontario Professional Firefighters Association.

The move was hailed by Carmen Santoro, president of the firefighters association, who told The Toront Star more first-responders need help as soon as possible to prevent complications and higher costs later if medical care is delayed.

“There’s less than a handful of employers that are taking the lead on PTSD. The others, in my opinion, are waiting for the provincial government to take the lead.”

Only when employers take PTSD seriously will first-responders deal with any issues they’re facing, Santoro added.

“If they have a feeling it’s not going to be addressed, then why bother bringing it to the forefront? That’s troubling for our members.”

The presumption would apply to new claims, as well as pending claims and claims in the process of being appealed.

In an exhaustive piece in which Star reporters spoke to about a dozen police officers, examples of the silent but devastating effects of PTSD were recounted. (http://www.thestar. com/news/crime/2012/10/05/how_the_ontario_provincial_police_deals_with_officers_ ptsd.html), o ne of the officers profiled in the story hailed the pending legislation.

Retired Ontario Provincial Police officer Bruce Kruger hopes the proposed legislation will fix the “totally unfair” WSIB claim system.

After developing PTSD nearly three decades on the job, Kruger tried twice over an eightyear period to have his claim accepted with the WSIB. He was finally compensated after “a full day of basically crying my eyes out in front of an adjudicator and two lawyers who said I was not deserving.”

“You can imagine how demoralizing, how terribly tragic it is to have to relive all the incidents that I had been involved with,” said Kruger. “To go through that was hell.”

No first responder –or their families, friends or loved ones – be subjected to an unsupportive system that expects maximum professionalism and sure-mindedness from these people, but which fails to support them in their most desperate time of need.

We have supports for all manner of health issues – from subsidized drug benefits to dental programs for those who can’t afford the work – but for those who suffer mostly in silence, until now, there has been nothing.

Percy Portage ‘front and centre’ during Heritage Week in Trent Hills

By John Campbell

Trent Hills – The Ojibwa name for the Trent River, Sagetewedgewam, means it was a “river hard to travel.”

The route used for centuries by the Hurons, Iroquois and Mississaugas to avoid the river’s daunting rapids and waterfalls between what is now Hastings and Meyersburg came to be known as the Percy Portage.

“It also formed the basis of the first road in the region in the early 19th century for settlers and those heading north.”

So read the plaques that will be erected at either end of the carrying place by the Municipality of Trent Hills, as a result of a community initiative begun by the Hastings Historical Society, and supported by Alderville First Nation and the family of E. Lyle Brown, which paid for their manufacture.

Speaking on their behalf and “an ad hoc group of people on Richardson Road,” Stewart RichPlaques commemorating the Percy Portage are now ready to be installed. They were on view at council’s Feb. 16 meeting, when ardson thanked council last week for approving Stewart Richardson, centre, accompanied by supporters of the project, Bev Meyers, Dorothy Caldwell, Myrna Jackson Brown the project and “putting it front and centre” durand Jim Coveney, thanked the municipality for its support. Meyers was one of a group of Trent University students who worked ing Heritage Week (Feb. 15-21). on a study of the trail in 1973. Photo by John Campbell “We believe this action you’ve taken is no small thing,” he said, as he knows of only one other plaque in Ontario where “an ancient aboriginal trail” is acknowledged, in the Lindsay area.

Richardson said “the idea came about very quickly last summer” when he was working on a book about Samuel de Champlain travelling down the Trent River 400 years earlier. The Researchers at McMaster University have developed a therapy that question was asked where was the Percy Portage actually treats tinnitus. This treatment is customized for each patient and in discussing it with historical society members Myrna Jackson Brown and Jim Coveney, and retrains the hearing system of the mind in order to treat tinnitus. they concluded something was needed to iden-

The plaques read: “It is possible that Samuel de Champlain used this portage in September 1615 when he travelled south with his Huron and Algonquin allies to engage with the Iroquois in upstate New York.”

Brown committed early in the process to paying for the plaques; she and her late husband, Lyle, had attempted to travel the length of the trail with friends back in the 1980s but only made as far as Dartford from the south end.

Peters said the commemorative tablets will be put up in April and May and “a big weekend” is planned for their unveiling June 5.

He also said AH, the Arts and Heritage Centre of Warkworth, will stage a two-month exhibit devoted to the Percy Portage, using items borrowed from the Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough.

come fairly quick.”

“I think it’s great our school has finally got into this,” says student Brooke Harris, a bow hunter for the past six years. “It’s nice to see how popular it is.”

“This is something I like to do,” adds Nathan Ellwood, who started as a 10-year-old. “I’m a hunter so this is more like a practice.”

“Trying to be consistent” is the big challenge, he admits.

“Sometimes there’s one tiny thing you don’t notice and it throws the whole thing off.”

NDHS teacher Linda Coons says some students have their own equipment and through the National Archery School’s Program (NASP) they’ve bought 12 compound bows, a drop curtain, arrows and targets and have teachers certified. The NASP covered half the cost.

“It’s something that’s really caught on due to the nature of our community. The learning curve is really good.”

The municipality’s heritage advisory committee was receptive to installing plaque as was Alderville’s Chief James Marsden, who thought it “a great idea [and] was very helpful in the wording,” which took several drafts to complete, Richardson said.

Long-term care campaign gets shout-out from Habitat

By Bill Freeman Havelock

–

mont-Methuen’s half-decade- town got a shout-out from local Burke was in Havelock to talk long campaign to bring a 128- Habitat for Humanity executive to council about Habitat for Havelock-Bel- bed long-term care facility to director Sarah Burke.

Humanity, Peterborough and Kawartha Region, particularly its community build program

and partnerships through land

donation, but she made a point in commending the municipal

ity on its stick-to-itiveness in

pursuing a long-term care facility and the longer range plan of affordable and supportive housing for seniors at the 18acre site. “I’m very impressed by the township and your determination on long-term care. Good job,� Burke said. “It’s so wonderful to see you continuing to move, continuing with meetings. Keep pushing.�

In 2011 when the township

formally submitted its application to the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care there were 950 people on a wait list for long-term care beds in Peterborough County and City. Today there are 2,718. Currently, in Peterborough County and City there are 1,090 licensed beds.

The township has maintained that a long-term care facility in Havelock will serve the eastern part of Peterborough County as well as north Northumberland and the western part of Hastings County. “The numbers speak for themselves. It’s very straightforward,� says Mayor Ron Gerow.

All that’s needed is the minister’s approval of the 128-

bed licenses, Gerow says.

Once that happens the minister “would create a process in terms of how they develop this build.�

Gerow wants to see things “expedited� because “these numbers are real numbers and real people and they’re not going down.� “This is the third term of council working on this and it hasn’t gone away,� adds Deputy-Mayor Jim Martin. “I don’t think there’s a week goes by without at least two people asking about it. It’s hard when you don’t have an answer.�

A delegation from HBM is expected to meet Associate Health Minister Dipika Damerla (Mississauga East-Cooksville) this week.

Local Wood Initiative aims to boost economy, reduce carbon

By Diane Sherman

Ivanhoe - When trees decay they release carbon dioxide, but if harvested for lumber the carbon is locked in. As healthy trees, they are “the lungs of the planet” reducing carbon. The Local Wood Initiative (LWI) is working to ensure forests stay healthy.

It is partnership of Hastings Stewardship Council (HSC), Bancroft

Forest Industry Association, Bancroft Area Stewardship Council and Harvest Hastings, funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

On February 11, professionals shared their perspectives on the benefits and threats to forests.

Tim Gray, management specialist with Forest Ontario’s 50 Million Tree Program, says there are subsidies for planting on private land and tax incentives for using a man-

aged woodlot plan. They are also willing to train and pay people to collect tree seed.

Professionals assess fallow fields for planting or woodlots for sustainable harvest and provide students to plant.

The LWI helps owners adapt a managed forest plan and promote sales of wood products to local industries.

Data shows 65 per cent of land in Hastings County is forest. Gray says the county could be self-sufficient with wood as renewable energy, and forest byproducts boosting the economy.

Ernie Demuth, a senior compliance technician with Bancroft Minden Forest Company, says a serious threat to hardwood forests is Beech Bark disease

It was found in Hastings and Haliburton Counties in 2010.

Most diseased beech were removed, but since offshoots propagate the pathogen, they too must be suppressed.

Demuth says there is hope some beech will be resilient to disease.

It is one of the most common, ecologically important trees in our forests, a primary protein source for black bears. Loss of the species could devastate the ecosystem.

Danijela Puric-Mladenovic reviewed the benefits of trees and green space on our general well being. She holds a doctorate in forestry from the University of Toronto, is an assistant professor, and a landscape analyst with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.

She recalls doctors in her home-

land of Serbia prescribing mountain retreats for everything from stress to heart disease. An advocate of conservation, she designs urban green spaces and forest management plans to conserve biodiversity.

She says removal of hedgerows, historically known to divide fields, is destroying a unique diversity of species remaining from original growth.

Early settlers, she says, left barren lots where invasive species took over, a problem we have continued to deal with. Her forest management tools strive to regenerate natural species and assure new growth while harvesting mature trees on rotation of 20 to 50 years.

The Northumberland Sports Council has secured $6,000 in funding from the Dr. Tom Pashby Sports Safety Fund <www. drpashby.ca> to create a new Helmet Lending Program. The program will allow schools and community groups to borrow helmets at no cost, allowing children to safely participate in sports activities that require protective head gear.

The local health unit is part of a community group launching a new helmet

lending program.

“Often a lack of helmets prevents children from getting involved in certain sports,” said Heather Grundy, a sports council member and a health promoter with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit. “Now with this new helmet lending program, a barrier to recreation is removed as local children can now access the protective head gear they need to safely try out new activities.”

More than 40 percent of children have tooth decay by the time they reach kindergarten. The current recommendation from the Canadian and American Paediatric Societies is that your child’s first dental visit should be within 6 months of the eruption of their first tooth.

During your child’s first visit we will do the following: • Examine the teeth, oral tissues, jaw and bite • We will look for issues with bite or bone growth • We may perform a gentle cleaning and polish the teeth that have surfaced • We will recommend x-rays when necessary • We will finally consider when it will be time for fluoride treatment By working together we can give your child a head start on a healthy smile!

northumberlandsportscouncil. ca> is promoting the new Helmet Lending Program to local schools, camps, youth groups, daycares and other community organizations. The sports council has plans to purchase eight bags that would contain 20 CSA-approved helmets apiece (including maintenance kits and cleaning supplies).

“We are very grateful for the generous gift from the Dr. Tom Pashby Sports Safety Fund that will allow more

children to try out sports and recreational activities they might not otherwise have been able to play,” said Eugene Todd, chairperson of the sports council. “The entire community wins when there is better access to recreation.”

Most of the CSA-approved helmets will be for skating and hockey although some of the helmets are also geared for skateboarding and other wheeled activities such as cycling. The Helmet Lend-

ing Program is already up and running with bags of 20 CSAapproved helmets available to be signed out at several locations including the Campbellford Arena (call 705-6531670) and the King Edward Park Arena in Brighton (call 613-475-0302) as well as the Keeler Centre in Colborne (call 905-355-2846). The Sports Safety Fund that bears Dr. Pashby’s name was established to carry on his dream of safe sport for everyone.

Quinte Woodturners create beauty from old wood

By Terry McNamee Fallen trees, old logs or discarded pieces of wood may seem worthless to some people or good only for firewood. But members of the Quinte Woodturners Guild see them as future bowls, walking sticks, pepper mills, Christmas ornaments, vases and other beautiful things.

The Guild was founded in 1992 and has members from across the region and Prince Edward County. The group currently has about 35 members, and meets on Thursday evenings at the Trenton Senior Citizens’ Club, which has a workshop and lathes for turning old wood into art.

Everyone who is interested in woodturning is welcome to pay a visit and perhaps join.

“We take everybody that wants to come out and give it a try,” said long-time member Jim Hill of Trenton. “If they don’t have a lathe, they can join the Seniors’ Club and use the one here.”

Wondering what woodturning is?

You can come and see for yourself this weekend.

“We’re demonstrating at Loyalist college next Saturday, Feb. 27,” said club president Ken Lorenz from Port Hope.

That is the day of the Quinte Region Food Share Empty Bowls fundraiser for eight local food banks. The Woodturners Guild has donated a large number of handcrafted wooden bowls and plates to the event, which also will feature bowls made by potters from Hasting, Prince Edward and Northumberland Counties. People can buy a tickets for $20 for a gourmet soup lunch served in the cafeteria at the college, and choose a wooden or pottery bowl from all the ones donated. The event runs from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Woodturned bowls generally sell for between $40 and

A few members of the Quinte Woodturners Guild display some of the bowls that are being donated to the Food Share Empty Bowls fundraiser for eight local food banks, which is taking place this Saturday, Feb. 27, at Loyalist College. From left, they are Garry Villneff from Codrington, Doug Scotney of Frankford, Ken Lorenz from Port Hope, Trenton resident Dave Wheeler and Pat Hayes of Belleville.

$100 each, so this is a great deal, Lorenz said.

The woodturners’ demonstration will be held in the morning prior to the lunch.

“We’ll be offering some of our turnings for sale,” Lorenz added.

Turners use a variety of types of wood. Some is native to the area, including box elder, different kinds of maple, oak, cherrywood and so on. Other woods are more exotic, such as purple heart, which has a rich purple colour.

The shape of the item is cut on a lathe, then turned over and hollowed out, again on the lathe. Sometimes that is the quickest part of the process! Once the shape is created, the person has to sand and sand and sand some more until the item is silky smooth. Then a finish is applied, which can be lacquer, polyurethane or even oil or wax rubbed into the

wood. Sometimes more sanding is required between coats, depending on the type of finish required. It takes patience and dedication to turn a rough piece of wood into something unique and beautiful.

While the Quinte club is almost all men at the moment, women are welcome, too. Lorenz said that Ontario’s oldest club, located in Toronto, has many female members.

You don’t need experience or a lathe of your own to join, either, he Wood chips fly as Ken Lorenz, president of the Quinte Woodturners Guild, hollows out a wooden bowl said. It costs $30 a year to join, plus on a lathe. $2 per meeting to pay for the use of the Seniors’ Club for meetings.

Probus Club of Trent Hills has a plan to help boost business in Hastings

By Sue Dickens

Campbellford – A plan to help bolster the sagging economy in Hastings brought on by the closure of the swing bridge at Lock 18 has been put forward by Probus Club of Trent Hills President Alan Appleby.

“The businesses in Hastings are facing a very bleak winter” “The businesses in Hastings are facing a very bleak winter,” he said at the recent monthly get-together.

“I took my brother-in-law to the doctor and went down to fill up the gas tank and those are easily busy stations . . . but there was nobody anywhere. I walked into the one station I patronize there and

I got the biggest smile you ever saw. I said not too busy now eh? And the guy said, ‘haven’t seen anybody in a while.’ ” And so Appleby has asked members of the club if they would help the businesses in the village while the bridge repairs are taking place.

“So what we would like to do at the end of our meetings, and there actually is a signup sheet over there on the table, if you want to show your support for businesses in Hastings, we’d like to go to lunch over in Hastings after some of our meetings and just kind of show our support for those businesses,” Appleby told members.

Anne Linton, who is events and special interests manager with the club, explained, “We can go there right after the meetings and we can continue doing this until the bridge is open because people are really crying for business. I

didn’t think it would be as bad as it is. It’s pretty bad.”

She also encouraged Probus members to consider taking a day and shopping in Hastings, getting some groceries too before heading home.

Another group, the Hastings Helpers led by Tonya McColl-Smith, has stepped up in a big way to help citizens of the town cope with the fact their community has been split in two because of the bridge repairs and is encouraging everyone to support local businesses, making the point that “Hastings is Open for Business.” The group has a website with updates and information about resources <http://hastingshelpers. com/>.

The new swing bridge is being constructed off-site and will be transported to Lock 18 in sections and installed.

Hopes are it will be ready to Alan Appleby, president of the Probus Club of Trent Hills, has asked the other members if they would consider having lunch at reopen before the Victoria one of the restaurants in Hastings after their regular morning monthly meetings.

High quality speakers take the stage

By Diane Sherman Madoc -There were fewer entrants than usual in the annual Legion Public Speaking Contest at Branch 363 in Madoc Feb. 19 though all nine children came across strong, confident and dedicated to their topic.

Judges Lynn Frost, Ron Moffatt and Tom Simpson had difficult choices to make with each passionate presentation.

Primary winner Morgan Beaton addressed the special time of childhood, compared to responsibilities of adulthood in her speech Kids Rock, while junior grade student Meghan McNiven took first for highlighting the newfound freedom of “girl power” at this point in history.

Intermediate first-finisher Terra Patrick has been competing since the age of eight from Madoc Township Public School. Now in her first year of high school, she has found her niche, presenting a solid, factual speech on the refugee crisis and Canadian policy.

Her younger sister competed against her with bold spirit and dedication on the Pop/Punk era.

Hannah Mohns took second with the basics of how to prepare a speech.

Paige Heard gave a passionate talk on work by movers and shakers in human rights, concluding, “We can make a difference.”

How to deal with embarrassing situations was the topic for Owen Cassidy.

Grace Madill supported the need for

gratitude in life, while Aaron Elliott expounded on the virtues of dogs as human companions and their role in history.

As judge Lynn Frost said, “They should all be first place.”

Legion President Gardener Stevenson noted their ability to speak in public as an unusual talent, rare to many.

Youth education chairman, Wayne Hagerman, commended each student for their participation and said after, he was “amazed at the talent presented.”

Hagerman reported that four students from Madoc who entered the Legion poster, literary and poetry competitions have placed first at the next level, Zone 3.

Zone competitions for public speaking are April 2.

Library friends celebrate bookish Valentine’s Day

By Bill Freeman

Hastings – The coldest day of the year didn’t stop the Friends of the Hastings Library from celebrating a bookish Valentine’s Day. It’s a tradition the volunteer group has maintained over its 10-year existence and the small group was not surprised by the sizable turnout.

The generosity of the supporters has helped the Friends raise $6,500 over the past decade, says longtime member Joyce Higgs.

“We all work together to help the library,” said Higgs as she doled out Valentine’s cake and hot chocolate to visitors.

“Everybody involved with the Friends absolutely loves it because it’s a no-stress environment,” she says. “Nobody realized that it had been 10

years until about halfway through the year when we were looking through some old minute books.”

The Friends have famously hosted an authors night that’s become a must-attend fall event and that’s attracted luminaries like Jane Urquhart, Drew Hayden Taylor and Lynn Philip Hodgson.

The authors nights “raise the profile of the library and the interest as well,” says Higgs. “(Guests) meet and hear people they normally wouldn’t have access to. I don’t think anyone expected it to grow as big as it did.”

Likewise, she adds, the authors enjoy the small-town hospitality and are pleased to support a dynamic rural library.

“I think they enjoy the interaction with such an interested crowd.”

“They’ve been incredible in terms of what they’ve

been able to provide,” says library supervisor Shirley Coughlan.

The Friends have been supplied funds to cover some items not included in the municipality’s library budget. They were instrumental in creating a special reading nook and the acquisition of a fireplace that anchors another larger read-

ing space. They have also helped with shelving and storage and the purchase of an accessible desk.

“They’ve done a fantastic job of promoting the library and making it a more visible place,” says Coughlan. “It’s very much a hub for the community. I don’t know where we’d be without them.”

The library is well-used by all ages and has a devoted summer resort and cottage clientele, says Coughlan.

Coughlan says the Trent Hills Public Library has received accreditation by the Southern Ontario Library Service (SOLS), which is a major achievement, and one of the criterion was accessibility.

“It’s been a great group and I’ve loved every minute of it,” said member Pat Funk. “I’ve travelled widely and lived in a lot of places and this is the best library I have ever used.

They have great staff and they really know the people who use it. You can’t beat it.”

Tax rate will go up 2.8 per cent

Asphodel-Norwood – Asphodel-Norwood residents will see a 2.8 per cent municipal tax levy increase. Township council has approved their 2016 budget winnowing the levy increase down from seven per cent to 2.8 through four drafts.

The township will raise $2,621,322 through taxation, six per cent more than 2015, and the average residential property owner will see an increase of $36.30 per $100,000. Municipal taxes on a property valued at $100,000 would be $666.16.

The average home in Asphodel-Norwood is valued at $200,000, says Treasurer Candace White.

White called the budget “well-rounded” and one that brings forward major capital projects while also increasing reserve balances and keeping the municipal levy increase relatively low.

“I think it’s going to put the township in a good position,” White said.

The capital budget represents 12.97 per

cent of the township’s overall budget.

In order to make significant changes to the operating side of the budget the township would have to undertake a full service delivery review, White noted.

Overall, departmental expenditures total $3,617,672 with 2016 capital expenditures pegged at $1,662,403 - $539,258 of that will be funded through the municipal tax levy.

The township will put nearly $100,000 into reserves.

Unsurprisingly, transportation (25.8 per cent) takes up the largest chunk of the expenditure pie followed by policing and administration. Asphodel-Norwood is one of the few municipalities in Peterborough County to have their policing costs decrease in 2016. Most municipalities are absorbing enormous policing increases.

Asphodel-Norwood’s policing bill decreased by $5,758.

The township has earmarked $259,000 for road reconstruction including surface treatment of the Dummer-Asphodel Boundary Road and a “single mainte-

nance layer” on the Third Line north of County Road 2. There’ll be a full reconstruction of the Birdsall Line in partnership with Otonabee South-Monaghan.

A full reconstruction of Robert Road and Murray Street is included in the budget. The municipality received 90 per cent funding for the project, which includes a water and sewer component, through the province’s OCIF (Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund) program. The roads portion of the project

is $930,612 with the township receiving $837,551 from grants. Ratepayers will fund $93,247.

The new six month crossing guard program also comes under the public works umbrella.

Additional streetlights will be installed on Albine Street at a cost of $8,000. The municipality has converted its 205 streetlights to LED fixtures with an expected 61 per cent reduction in energy usage and savings of at least $22,000 in the first

year.

The municipal levy will fund 13.4 per cent of the $1,262,780 in transportation expenditures .

There are plans to paint the Westwood Library and municipal office, replace the council chamber floor and make the Norwood Town Hall door accessible.

The fire department will purchase new bunker gear, update radios, replace fire hose and give inspectors tablets and paint the roof of the Westwood fire station.

Write-offs total $15,500; council members’ remuneration report released

By John Campbell Trent Hills – The municipality has written off nearly $15,500 in debts, some dating as far back as 2007. Most of the outstanding debt it now considers “uncollectable” is the result of facility and property rentals that went unpaid -- $12,531.

But that shouldn’t be an issue in future.

Community Services Officer Peter Burnett told council Feb. 16 the new recreation management software the municipality is implementing in the next month or two to handle bookings “should greatly help with that.”

Users will enter their own information “and will have the ability to pay in advance, instead of [us] invoicing them after the fact,” he said, noting

the “difficulty” the municipality has had in the past collecting all the money it’s owed.

Treasurer and Director of Finance Valerie Nesbitt said she’s trying to clean up old accounts receivable considered uncollectable “so that moving forward we can catch them on a more frequent basis, and monitor them.”

“I’m glad to see these cobwebs get swept out,” Mayor Hector Macmillan said. “We do have a problem with facilities’ bookings,” and people need to realize “there is a cost to it, even if they don’t use it.”

Nesbitt noted in her report that monthly statements “are sent out to encourage payment of outstanding amounts” without resorting to using the services of a collection agency.

Women’s World Floorball Championships get a boost

Members of the Canadian Women’s Under 19 Floorball team and officials from West City Honda gathered for a photo on Thursday, Feb. 18 to celebrate the dealership becoming a major sponsor for the World Championships taking place May 4 to 8 in Belleville. Pictured (from left) are Greg Sudds and Bob Burley, from West City Honda, with organizing committee chairman Brett Davis and sponsorship chair Alyssa Engelsdorfer. The players include Madi Brinklow, Livy Greaves, Alexa Hoskin and Captain Hannah Wilson along with coach Todd Crawford. Photo by Stephen Petrick

The 2016 U-19 Women’s World Floorball Championships got a major financial boost this week, as a local car dealer came on board as a major sponsor.

Belleville car dealer West City Honda has given $25,000 to the organizers and will now be a major sponsor for the tournament.

President and general manager of West City Honda, Greg Sudds said, “It is great to be able to support the community and this is a big event for Belleville. It is terrific that the local organizing committee, the city and others have pulled together, to bring a world championship to Belleville.

West City Honda is proud to get behind this event and support the world championships. We are glad to be able to help out.”

The committee was overwhelmed by the gesture.

“We are proud to have West City Honda on board for the U-19 Women’s World Floorball Championships. West City Honda is one of a number of key local businesses helping us realize the dream of not only hosting an event of this magnitude, but hosting in a way that the City of Belleville and Canada can be proud,” said president of the Under 19 Women’s World Floorball Championships Brett Davis. “It is through the tireless local support of groups like West City Honda, that an event like this can be on display for all to witness.”

Metroland Media is a Platinum Sponsor for the

Floorball Chamionships.

It was announced in 2015 that Belleville was chosen as host of the Under-19 Women’s World Floorball Championships this May 4 to 8. Sixteen countries and 400 athletes will visit Belleville in the city’s first ever world championship. This is the first time a floorball world championship will be held in the Americas (North or South). The event is expected to cost around $1 million to put on, generating around $3.8 million in local economic impact.

More information on the tournament is available at www.floorball2016.ca

Mariposa Lightning end Atom Hawks playoff hopes

By Brett Mann Tweed - Tweed’s Atom C Hawks were fired up and giving it all they had in their fourth game against the Mariposa Lightning but nonetheless went down to a 5-2 loss last weekend, ending their playoff season. After losing the first two games of the series, the Hawks came back with an overtime win on the road, pumping up their confidence and energy, but it was not enough to overcome the sharp shooting and goaltending of the Lightning.

Things started out badly for the Hawks when Mariposa put the puck past Hawks goalie Haelie Palmateer in the first few minutes of play with a long shot from the blueline. The Light-

ning added another goal in the second period and three more in the third. Despite racking up fewer penalties (two against the Lightning’s four) and more power play chances, the Hawks were only able to get past the Mariposa netminder twice in the third period, ending the best three of five series down 3-1.

Wyatt Daisley scored a well-deserved and unassisted goal for the Hawks in the third period. Although physically smaller than many of the other players, Daisley was exciting to watch as he repeatedly carried the puck into the Mariposa zone with agility and speed. Assistant captain and forward Hayden Blackburn got the Hawks’ second goal with an assist from Daisley. Blackburn was recently picked as the star player at the Peterborough Lift Lock Tournament.

Hawks goalie Palmateer stopped a number of challenging Lightning attacks including a fine glove save on a two-player break away in the third period. The Hawks defence performed well but were outplayed by the strong Mariposa offence. Following the game, Mariposa head coach Rick Holliday had high praise for the Tweed team and said that the Lightning will now go up against Stayner in their first semi-final game.

The Atom C’s elimination leaves only the Midget C Hawks alive in the playoffs. They play their first two semi-final games on the road against the South Bruce Blades this weekend, returning to Tweed for the third game in the series on March 4 at 8:30 p.m. at the TweedHungerford Arena with a fourth game (if necessary) on Saturday March 5 at 3:00.

Curling rocks in Tweed!

By Melyssa Gloude Tweed - The Municipality of Tweed saw three days of intense competition this past weekend as the Land O’ Lakes Curling Club hosted its first Gore Mutual Schoolboy and Schoolgirl Curling Championships.

Since its inception in 1948, the Ontario School Curling Championship is the oldest competed-for trophy in Ontario high school sports: eight boys and girls secondary school teams from across Ontario competed at the provincials for the coveted Gore Trophy and Gore Bowl.

The tournament kicked off on Thursday with opening ceremonies in the evening which featured a banquet night catered by volunteers, greetings from sponsors and a performance from bagpiper Sheila Day. “Bagpiping and curling seem to go together,” says Laura Reavie, chair of the Land O’ Lakes Curling Club, who notes that the event’s success was due in part to local sponsorship and gracious community volunteers.

“We had over 80 volunteers through club connections, the bar staff, food, decor, billeting, catering, everything,” says Reavie, who opened her home as well to billeting students from Banting Memorial High School in Alliston, Ontario.

According to Reavie, a crucial part of the event

was the community response to billeting the players. The local billet families would take an entire team of four players and have them stay in their homes for the duration of the tournament.

“So not only do we have a lot of volunteers to get the event going, we also have 16 families who volunteered to billet younger players,” says Reavie.

“The teams stay with local area families, mostly with curling cub members but also some non-members who just wanted to be involved.”

Teacher freed on bail, faces 36 sex charges

Belleville - A local elementary school teacher has been released from custody after being charged with 36 counts of sex crimes involving four minors.

Jaclyn Lindsay McLaren, who is also known as Jaclyn (Jackie) Jones, 36, of Stirling, is free on a $100,000 bond.

She appeared in a bail hearing Friday in Belleville court.

Ontario Provincial Police confirmed the woman is employed as a teacher with the Bellevillebased Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board.

A ban on publication has been ordered to protect the identities of the complainants, four boys who were believed to have been students at the time of the alleged incidents.

Ontario Provincial Police investigator Sgt. Peter Leon said the charges now involve four young people ages 12 to 15 and date from 2013 to 2016.

Investigators say the incidents occurred in Tweed.

Sources say it is believed the alleged incidents occurred when McLaren/Jones was a French teacher in Tweed.

Sources also said she had been transferred out of that school in recent months, howIn this image taken from a now closed Instagram account, the Stirling woman charged with multiple counts involving sexual ever. dealings with minors, is shown in a selfie.

with eight counts of sexual exploitation, six counts of luring a person younger than 16 and six counts of making sexually explicit material available to a person under 16.

McLaren/Jones is charged with three counts of making child pornography and one count of making sexually explicit material available to children.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also charged with four

counts each of sexual assault on a person younger than 16, sexual interference with a person younger than 16 and making an invitation to sexual touching involving a person younger than 16.

Police began investigating McLaren/Jones on Sunday Feb. 14. On Monday, Feb 15, they charged the teacher and she was held

in custody until her release Friday in Belleville court.

It is reported McLaren/Jones has been removed from her teaching position, but it is unclear if she is on paid leave while the matters are before the court.

Represented by Belleville defence lawyer Pietr Kort, McLaren/Jones was released from custody and was placed in the care of her parents by Justice of the Peace Sam Cureatz.

Cureatz ordered her not to have any contact with the four minors involved as complainants in the case or with any boy younger than 18.

She must avoid public places where minors may gather and has been ordered not to possess a cell phone. Computers in her parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home were to be removed and McLaren/ Jones is also banned from possessing weapons.

In a release, OPP asked that anyone with information on the McLaren/Jones case can call 1-888-310-1122 and ask for the Central Hastings OPP crime unit. Anonymous tips may be made to Crime Stoppers at www.tipsubmit.ca or 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

McLaren/Jones is to return to court March 31.

Women’s U-19 World Floorball Championships Yes, it really IS a big deal Q & A with the President of the 2016 Women’s u-19 World Floorball Championships Brett Davis 1. How did floorball even come into a conversation for you?

At Moira Secondary School, phys ed coach Todd Crawford came into my classroom and asked me if I wanted to take U-19 Women to Slovakia for the 2011 World Championship and I said yes. We made two quick phone calls, put in the registration money we had to get a team together in nine months.

2. Did you think this was serious?

Crawford told me he was going to make a general manager out of me and I said okay. Next I said what the hell is floorball? We started to know more about the sport, Todd had already coached the Canadian Men’s team and we put a team together and went over.

3. What was your first world championship team like?

We learned a lot about floorball on that trip. We also played against the Hungarian national team. We had to learn some of the rules while we were playing against a Group A team and we only lost 7-4. They wanted to know how long we had been playing and we told them it was our first game. We told them it was very similar to hockey and we know hockey. Our whole team was hockey players through and through.

4. After the 2012 worlds in Slovakia what was next for you in floorball?

We had about 60 athletes routinely playing floorball ahead of the next world championships in Poland. They weren’t just converted hockey players any more. We were taking the best players at our disposal. We thought we were a favourite in the Group B teams, to possibly win and move up into group A. The Poland tournament was a good growing experience, although we didn’t win. We played some local teams as well and the program continued to grow after the Poland tournament.

wanted the sport to grow around the world and they were looking to North and South America to host an upcoming tournament.

We were up against Switzerland and we felt we were going to be in a close race. Out of the 13 votes, we won it 9-4.

5. How did the first conversation start that Belleville could host a world championship tournament?

In 2013, the City of Belleville was in the process of constructing the brand new Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre and we knew how good it was going to be. We felt it would work really well for a floorball tournament.

We then talked to city officials and we announced we were interested in hosting the tournament, Mark Wilson, Mark Fluhrer, Peter Lyng, everyone we met with was on board. M.P Daryl Kramp, M.P.P Todd Smith, Mayor Neil Ellis, they were all on side. We submitted our bid in Prague Czech Republic.

The IFF (International Floorball Federation) stated they

7. Did you have an idea of what would go into hosting a world championship?

I was naive enough to think we could run it that week. I was mistaken. I knew it would be busy in the weeks leading up to the tournament, I had no idea it would be insane about one year out. That was a surprise.

The meetings for media, for television rights, hotels, food, flights, travel, sponsorship, security, logistics, tickets, volunteers, it is incredible the amount that goes into it.

It is a process, you have to give a little, you have to take a little. It is one process after another, but many people are working together to make it happen.

It is countless hours getting things just right.

6. How did you find out you won the bid?

I received a call at 5 a.m on Mother’s Day (2013) that we were hosting the 2016 tournament. I was told not to tell anyone for 48 hours. It was a long 48 hours.

That afternoon we organized a press conference for a few days later and then we announced to the world we were going to be hosting the world.

8. Do you feel Belleville and the Quinte area are ready to take on this challenge?

We are getting there. There is still a lot left to do, but it is starting to become a reality now that we are less than three months out.

To think that I get to be a part of Belleville hosting the world for the first time is humbling. It makes me very proud.

This is the best of the best coming. Sixteen countries are coming to our doorstep. They will be playing for the world title.

It is awesome.

Many changes as Choral Society concert approaches

By Jack Evans Belleville Choral Society officials report a “season of change” as they approach their annual spring concert, set for April 10 in St. Michael’s Church, Belleville.

Over the past few months, some 20 new voices have joined the choir, bringing reinforcements to the choir’s alto and tenor sections. Significant among those are Diane Ankenmann and her husband , Doug. When Peter Fuller stepped down as accompanist for the choir following its most recent Christmas concert, Diane , with strong piano accreditations, stepped into that much-needed void. With her extensive experience as a pianist, accompanist and educator, her volunteer efforts made a “seamless transition” for the job in the words of one BCS official.

The couple are among the many retirees to the Quinte area in recent years from the Metropolitan Toronto area, enriching the local area’s talent pool.

The choir’s spring concert is titled: “Songs from the Heart,” and will be an eclectic mix of classic, sacred, folk and contemporary choral arrangements including jazz and show tunes.

Special guests will include Alexandra Danahy, flautist, winner of a BCS scholarship and former member of the Quinte Youth Chorale under Rudolf Heijdens.

One of the area’s major and senior cultural organizations, the choral society serves as a training ground for singers wanting to hone their skills and also as an outlet for talented amateur singers from across the area to sing in a recreational setting to the delight of local audiences.

Tickets are now available at the Quinte Arts Council Office and on line at the choir’s new website: www.bellevillechoralsociety.org.

Quinte Symphony offers European Holiday

Music by such famous European composers as Rossini, Dvorak, Tchaikowsky and Rimsky-Korsakov will be featured in a concert by Quinte Symphony on Sunday, Feb. 28. The concert is set for 2 p.m. in Bridge Street Church.

This is the public’s first opportunity to hear a new sound from the orchestra, now with several new players making significant contributions, including viola and cellos.

One word that might sum up this program is “exciting,” as it is the first local performance of an amaz-

ing trumpet concerto by Russian composer Alexander Arutiunian (1920-2012.) His “Trumpet Concerto in A flat Major” will be the featured work on the program, played by Quinte Symphony’s own director of music and master trumpeter, Dan Tremblay, his first local performance as a soloist.

An award-winning Russian composer, Arutiunian’s music was strongly influenced by American jazz and composers like Gershwin.

Orchestra players report the public will find this music easily accessible and tuneful. It has been a long time since a trumpet concerto has been featured in a concert in Belleville.

Assistant conductor, local resident Patrick

The Casey Charles Memorial Super Senior Bonspiel

By Sue Dickens

Campbellford – It wasn’t the Super Bowl, it was the Casey Charles Memorial Super Senior Bonspiel that brought together teams of men whose accumulative age per team had to total at least 280 years.

“As long as the total age of everyone on the team came to 280, they could enter the competition,” said Glen Brubacher who has been curling since he was 16 and has organized the bonspiel here for the past three years.

That meant a minimum age of 70 was required.

Brubacher took over the role of organizer from Elton Hutchinson, a longtime curler and founding member of Campbellford’s curling club which hosted this bonspiel.

He was also the oldest curler at the bonspiel, “in his early 90s”. He continues to curl on a regular basis but with the West Northumberland Curling Club in Cobourg where he now lives.

The bonspiel was started in 2001 in memory of Casey Charles who “was quite a colourful fellow,” according to Hutchinson. “Our bonspiel is noted for being

the Casey Charles Memorial clam chowder bonspiel too,” said Brubacher as he explained that although he never met Casey Charles, “he was quite a social character and a chef,” who was famous for his clam chowder.

“Casey Charles was a good buddy ... he was a cook on the navy ships that went overseas [during the war],” said Hutchinson.

So clam chowder was served to the curlers for lunch.

Two draw winners emerged from the day-long event with one team taking the Casey Charles Memorial trophy, and that was the winning rink from Trenton which included curlers Benny Brock, skip; Bob Bateman, vice; Lloyd Danford, second; and Bob Gates, lead.

“They are very good curlers. Benny and Bob are fairly well known in curling and have been for some time,” commented Brubacher.

A team from the Peterborough Curling Club led

by Harry Litvin, skip, was a draw winner too. Others on the team included Ben Gaertner, vice; Jim Robinson, second; and Ken Koy-

anagi, lead.

Even though the average age had to be 70 or more, the bonspiel attracted curlers from not only Campbellford but also from Brighton, Cobourg, Colborne, Ennismore, Lakefield, Napanee, Norwood, Omemee, Trenton and Peterborough.

“Imagine getting all those curlers for that bonspiel with the age of a team at 280 years,” said Hutchinson, praising the organizers.

Al Barr was co-chair of the bonspiel who, with Brubacher and a many helpers, made sure it was a successful day.

“It was a huge success because of the great help I had from volunteers who worked in the kitchen and acted

as registrars and scorekeepers,” noted Brubacher, who included his committee of nine volunteers in that remark.

“And although the Campbellford curlers may not have won, we’re all good hosts,” he added.

Both Brubacher and Hutchinson agreed the bonspiel provided an opportunity for curlers to meet up again and renew acquaintances. “I really like the social aspect,” noted Brubacher. Hutchinson agreed, “You want to believe it ... it’s a great way to meet people from other clubs.”

The annual bonspiel provided a chance for many reunions between friends that they only get to see at this event once every year.

Tentative agreement reached for public elementary teachers

The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board and the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, Hastings-Prince Edward Teacher Local have reached a tentative settlement on local bargaining issues.

The two parties announced the settlement in a joint media release on Feb. 23. The news suggests there will be labour peace at public elementary schools.

“We are pleased that the negotiation teams for the Board and ETFO worked collaboratively to reach a tentative agreement,” said Dwayne Inch, Chair of the Board.

“Our elementary teachers play an important role in educating children, and we appreciate their contributions to student achievement and well-being.

Dave Henderson, President of ETFO HastingsPrince Edward, added, “We are pleased that we have reached a tentative settlement with the board. This has been a lengthy and challenging process, but we believe the end result is a positive outcome for our members.

“Our team would like to thank all of our members for their patience and support as we worked to achieve a fair settlement in this new bargaining framework.

Ratification votes by both parties will take place in the coming weeks.

Madoc C.O.P.E. is not cutting back services or closing its doors

By Diane Sherman

Madoc - The executive director of the Madoc C.O.P.E. Corporation, Beverly Lloyd, says all agency programs are fully active.

Community Opportunities for Progressive Employment, (C.O.P.E.) is a government transfer agency under the Ministry of Community and Social Services. Currently the ministry is working to create socially engaging work environments for clients across Ontario.

Individuals with a developmental disability have been traditionally sent to “sheltered workshops”, set in locations away from mainstream life.

It is these types of work places that

the ministry is hoping to phase out over time, as alternative competitive work environments are found where clients interact more with the general public.

So, agencies are not taking any new clients into those “sheltered” programs.

Madoc does not have sheltered workshops. They operate The Dough Box and Centre Car Wash in the village where clients work.

Lloyd, as were directors of other developmental services agencies, was instructed to send home a mail-out on the sheltered workshop issue.

She said many may have interpreted the information to mean Madoc C.O.P.E. is closing.

“That is far from the truth. Our agen-

cy programs are actually growing.”

Madoc C.O.P.E. serves clients in Central Hastings including Stirling, Tweed, Marmora, Ivanhoe, Eldorado and Madoc. It maintains a staff of 10 full-time workers (counting Lloyd) and three casual relief workers.

Staff work in five support programs, youth to adult transition, a community participation service and support day program, supported independent living and employment supports.

They also support individuals receiving Passport Funding to be more active in the community, and have incorporated the Health Energy Learning Motivation through Sports (HELMS) program into their current supports and programs.

Roblin – Friends and neighbours of Paul King, winner of a $100,000 scratch-and-win lottery prize, say he has set out to Newfoundland to buy back his family home in that province.

King moved to Roblin about a year ago from Newfoundland and works for a landscaping company in the Roblin area. He has two sons and is reported to have been overwhelmed with his win in the Instant Bingo game. “He was jumping up and down,” said one acquaintance who added, “He’s a great guy, he’d give you the shirt off his back.”

King is expected to return to Ontario within a week or two.

“I had to check my ticket quite a few times before the reality sank in,” said King while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “I still have the shakes.

“When my parents passed away a couple of years ago, their home in Newfoundland was sold and rented out,” he told lottery officials.

“I want to buy our family home back and move in.”

Lotto winner Paul King is known by friends as a generous soul.

The winning ticket was purchased at Roblin He’s shown here with his winning cheque for Instant Bingo. SubGas Bar on Highway 41 in Roblin. mitted photo

Celebrating all things Celtic with a kitchen party Westben Arts Festival Theatre presented the first of its three fundraisers for the year – a rollicking Ceilidh Kitchen Party held at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre Sunday afternoon.

The entertainment included performances by Kilt Trip, a poetry reading by Chick Reid and storytelling by Betty Bennett, who co-chaired

the event with Debra Richardson-Edge.

Members of the Belleville’s Quinte Irish Canadian Society livened the party with their dancing. A Scotch tasting was held prior to the kitchen party getting underway.

The event raised about $3,500 from the sale of 60 tickets, along with a silent auction and raffles of Celtic food.

Gord Reid conducted a session on the finer points of drinking Scotch. Photo by John Campbell Kilt Trip (whose members include Jana Reid and Andy Thompson) got Westben’s Ceilidh Kitchen Party off to a rousing start. Photo by John Campbell
