Warkworth syrup festival stars in international TV series By John Campbell Warkworth – When you boil it down, the 30th annual Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival had all the ingredients of an ideal family outing last weekend. The weather was grand, the sap was running, the attractions drew large crowds to both the village and Sandy Flat Sugar Bush, and the sausages and pancakes soaked with maple syrup served up by the Warkworth Community Service Club were as delicious as ever. The only thing missing was snow in large quantities, so while it wasn’t possible to go for a horsedrawn sleigh ride, there was enough about to fill a trough and pour taffy over it to make easy treats on a stick. “It was the best in years,” said Dennis Gebhardt, head of the festival organizing committee. “We had the perfect weather. It was unbelievable.” Attendance at the sugar bush on Saturday was around 4,000, equaling last

year’s total for the two days, he said. Another 2,500 turned out the following day. “Normally, Sundays aren’t quite as busy but this year there was a lot of traffic,” he said. Gebhardt credited the 200 volunteers who helped out for making the festival a success. There to take everything in was a six-person crew from Chicago filming the festival’s sights and sounds for a new online show, ‘Eat the Globe’ for Taste Me, a food and travel production company. “We were sad there wouldn’t be snow ... but it’s been so wonderful,” said the show’s producer, Jacquelyn Jamjoon, who found it “amazing” that volunteers organize and run the event. “We’ve been covering food festivals all across the world,” she said, including a Christmas festival in Germany, an onion festival in Switzerland, and a tamale festival in California. By the time the filming is

done, there will be eight episodes, each seven to 10 minutes long, “that will be coming up soon on ABC’s newest platform,” Jamjoon said. The show is hosted by Amy Shuster, a food blogger and “professional eater” who said she would be eating “a lot of taffy on snow and lots and lots of pancakes” for the episode being shot over two days. Shuster said she was “learning about the whole process of how a maple tree is tapped for sap” and maple syrup is made. “I knew nothing,” she said, other than it came in a bottle you see in a grocery store, “so this is really cool to get to actually see it coming out of a tree.” Shuster said the show is “a good way to introduce people to what’s going on” around the world with food and cultures and to “educate them in a really fun way.” Sugar bush owner Derek Van Stam said it’s been “an excellent season so far.” Trees were tapped in January “and our first boil was Feb. 4, so we’ve been boiling over a month now,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of good syrup so far.”

DARE grads part of history in Hastings

By Bill Freeman Hastings – The 20 Grade 6 students who received their DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) certificates and teeshirts in Hastings made a little bit of history as part of the last graduating class the program will have at Hastings Public School. The three-decade-old program will be replaced next year with a new made-in-Ontario initiative called the “OPP KIDS Program.” KIDS stands for Knowledge, Issues, Decisions and Supports. The program will feature videos, workbooks, interactive games and in-class talk about a variety of issues. “DARE was great but it was a USA-based program adapted for Canadian use,” says Northumberland OPP Constable Tonya Royal who teaches the program throughout Northumberland County. “The new program is more up-to-date and more involved with the Ontario school curriculum and the things that go on in our society and communities. “I’m looking forward to the

One of the most common causes of deaths in home fires is careless smoking. It has been estimated that 35% of all home fire deaths (about 1,500 a year) and 17% of all home fire injuries are caused by cigarette fires. Over $300 million in property is lost in these fires. Careless smoking is the #1 cause of fires in Canada. The Trent Hills Fire Prevention Team recommends that precautions be taken to avoid a cigarette fire.

✓ Provide large, deep ashtrays for smokers. ✓ Do not place ashtrays on the arms of furniture. ✓ Most cigarette fires involve dropping a hot cigarette on beds or upholstered furniture or clothing. A lit cigarette can smolder for 20-30 minutes before igniting anything. Check furniture before going to bed. Never smoke in bed or while reclining in upholstered furniture. ✓ Make sure ashes are completely cold before emptying them. Try wetting ashtray contents before throwing them in the trash. ✓ Install extra smoke detectors in smokers' bedrooms and other areas they spend time in. Trent Hills Fire Prevention Team

Trent Hills – The 14th annual March for Meals will see “Community Champions” deliver meals as a result of a Community Care Northumberland (CCN) initiative. Each March Meals on Wheels programs across the country join together to celebrate March for Meals and show the collaboration of local community organizations, government and compassionate individuals that care about keeping seniors healthy and safe in their own homes. It takes a number of volunteers to make this happen and many here have stepped forward to participate in this annual event. “Our multi-service agency depends on volunteers,” said Trish Baird, executive director of CCN. “Without their weekly support; the Meals on Wheels program would not be able to service our growing number of clients.” Community Care Northumberland with the help of local volunteers, delivered 22,343

hot and frozen meals from April 1st, 2014 to March 31st, 2015 within Northumberland County. This is approximately a six per cent increase over last year. In celebration of the 14th Annual March for Meals, CCN <www.commcare.ca/march> invited local “Community Champions” to help deliver meals and raise awareness for the Meals on Wheels program. Trent Hills Councillor Bob Crate is one of the champions who has stepped up to meet the challenge and in Hastings he will pick up meals from Banjo’s Grill on March 23 and deliver them to clients in that area. In Campbellford, students from Campbellford District High School will pick up meals put together at Sharpe’s Food Market on March 22 and deliver them to clients at Campbellford Memorial Multi-Care Lodge. The same service is happening in Brighton, March 15 and Cobourg, March 23. Community Care Northumberland’s Meals on Wheels program produces and delivers

“delicious, nutritious meals for a nominal fee” to: seniors living alone; adults with disabilities who are unable to shop for groceries or cook for themselves; and those being discharged from hospital with limited/no help available during their recovery. The program promotes health and independence by providing quality and affordable meals. Volunteers deliver the meals to client’s home during the noon hour. Clients in the County can order hot or frozen meals, and special diets may be accommodated by going to: <http:// w w w. c o m m c a r e . c a / m o w. html>. “We wish to thank all our local dignitaries for their participation in this year’s initiative to raise awareness of this program offered by our agency,” said Baird. For additional program information or to volunteer as a Meal on Wheels driver, please contact the local Community Care Northumberland office or visit <www.commcare.ca> or call 1-866-514-5774.

OPINION

Obama’s minimalist foreign policy If the US Congress had not imposed a two-term limit on the presidency in 1947 after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s record four electoral victories, President Barack Obama would be a safe bet for a third term next November. He inherited the worst recession since the Great Depression, and the United States Gwynne Dyer now has the healthiest economy of all the major powers, with unemployment back down to 5.5 per cent. But Obama can’t run for president again, so the time has come for the pundits to start delivering their assessments on the success or failure of his policies. First up is Jeffrey Goldberg, national correspondent for The Atlantic magazine, with a lengthy article called “The Obama Doctrine” on the man’s conduct of American foreign policy over the past seven and a half years. As you would expect when discussing a man whose basic rule is “Don’t do stupid shit”, Goldberg’s piece is mostly an examination of what Obama didn’t do, not what he did. He didn’t go to war with the Assad regime in Syria. He didn’t get into a new Cold War with Russia over Ukraine. He didn’t bomb Iran, instead making a political deal to block its nuclear weapons ambitions. He didn’t attack North Korea even when it did test nuclear weapons. None of these foreign policy choices would be remarkable if we were talking about Japan or Canada or Germany. Even in former imperial powers like Britain and France, where the interventionist reflex is still alive and kicking, Obama’s choices would not be controversial. But in the Washington foreign policy establishment, where every conflict on the planet tends to be redefined as an American problem and almost unlimited military force is available to attack the problem, Obama’s approach was heretical. Democrats were just as opposed to his heresy as Republicans. Indeed, despite the wreckage of George W. Bush’s invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq that Obama’s administration inherited when it took office in early 2009, his own first secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, was a classic interventionist. After she left office in 2013, Clinton told Goldberg that “the failure to build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad ... left a big vacuum, which the jhadists have now filled.” But Hillary Clinton actually got her way on Syria. The real failure of American policy on Syria in 2011 was the tolerance extended to Turkish, Qatari

and Saudi Arabian shipments of arms and money that were intended to subvert the faltering non-violent revolution and replace it with an armed revolt whose goal was a Sunni Islamic state, not a secular democracy. Obama and Clinton must share the blame for the fact that the United States became part of this operation in early 2012, providing arms that it sourced from Libya to avoid Congressional oversight. By then the non-violent protests had been largely suppressed and Syria was stumbling into a civil war – which subsequently killed 300,000 people and turned half the country’s population into refugees. Most Syrians would now agree that it would have been better to accept the failure of the non-violent movement and the continued rule of the execrable Assad regime than to see their country virtually destroyed. I suspect that Obama sees Clinton’s Syrian policy, in hindsight, as the greatest mistake of his time in office – but he did partially redeem himself by refusing to bomb Syria during the “poison gas” episode of 2014. Clinton also told Goldberg in 2014 that “great nations need organising principles, and ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organising principle.” Nobody said it was, but it is a good guide when deciding on actual policies, and Obama has been pretty consistent in observing it even with regard to the Middle East. His fundamental insight – and his greatest break with the orthodoxy of the American foreign policy establishment – has been to understand that very little that happens or could happen in the Middle East is a threat to America’s vital interests. Even Israel’s well-being is only a sentimental consideration for the United States, not a strategic one, although like all American politicians he is obliged to pretend otherwise. Only if the Islamist extremists of the Nusra Front and Islamic State were to overrun all of Syria would Israel be in any danger, and the Russian military intervention in support of Assad’s regime since last September has largely eliminated that possibility. So Obama has been free to concentrate on the issues that he thinks are really important, and that is where he has made real progress. His foreign policy has been minimalist only with regard to the traditional “strategic” concerns inherited from the Cold War and America’s long, deep and mostly futile engagement with the Middle East. In his “pivot” to Asia, in re-establishing ties with Cuba, above all on the issue of climate change (which he rightly sees as the crucial issue for the next generation and beyond), he has been an activist in his foreign policy – and a largely successful one. Neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump, the two main contenders for the succession, will be a patch on him.

Think the Wynne government is hated? Think again Editorial - Chris Malette

In the second year of her mandate, Premier Kathleen Wynne has the unenviable approval rating of about 30 per cent of the voters in this province, according to opinion polls released last month. Those aren’t numbers that any leader should welcome, but early in any term, when the heavy lifting and dirty jobs are done (Ontario Hydro sell-off, anyone?), they’re not unthinkably low. While the official opposition Progressive Conservatives will tell you the province is on the road to rack and ruin – which is, after all, their job – the reception in rural Ontario, where the Wynne Liberals have been castigated for having lost touch, is decidedly warmer on several fronts. One of the reasons for that is the fact the governing Liberals have continually winnowed away at the myriad of downloaded costs for all manner of services, offloaded by the Mike Harris Conservatives in the days of the Common Sense Revolution (the same folks who brought you shotgun wedding hospital corporations like Quinte Health Care and amalgamated municipalities). Last week, for instance, Hastings/Quinte Social Services committee approved a 2016 budget that will bring modest savings to municipal taxpayers. Part of the reason for that is the gradual assumption by the province of costs for social services that had once been a massive burden to municipalities. The budget has a net cost of $17,266,964, a reduction of 1.37 per cent from last year’s budget. “The net cost is actually going down, it’s equivalent to $240,000 (in savings)” said Hastings County’s finance director Sue Horwood. She presented the budget in a presentation with Social Services Director Steve Gatward. The savings were achieved, in large part, because the provincial government continues to upload costs that a few years ago were the sole responsibility of municipal governments. Payments to Ontario Works recipients, one of the biggest budget items for social services organizations, is now largely a provincial responsibility. This year, Ontario is handling 71 per cent of Hastings County’s Ontario Works costs. Last year it was 57 per cent. That change represents a

$791,100 in savings for taxpayers, locally. Too, there was good news for many sectors in the provincial budget, brought down two weeks ago. (That is, unless one is a smoker, or drives a gas-guzzling car or truck…) Brighton Mayor Marc Walas commended the provincial government for its 2016 budget, saying its support for job creation, infrastructure projects and wider access to post-secondary education is “very exciting” as well as “very encouraging.” He was also encouraged by what he had heard at the Ontario Good Roads Association and Rural Ontario Municipal Association Combined Convention held days earlier in Toronto. Wynne announced her government was tripling the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) from $100 million to $300 million per year by 2018-19, which Walas said will create “a greater opportunity” for communities under 100,000, such as Brighton, to secure funding for critical infrastructure projects. Dianne Spencer, executive director of student advancement at Loyalist College, said the college is “delighted” that “greater access” to postsecondary education will be made available to young people who “might not otherwise be able to attend.” “It makes a huge difference for them to be able to get started,” she said, noting the effect financial assistance programs have had in the past. “You open the door ... and very good things happen. We know how important that is for our economy.” But, it’s not all wine and roses, especially when it comes with rural municipalities groaning under the weight of OPP policing costs. Police services and their costs remain a key issue for many municipal politicians in Hastings County. It’s early days in this government’s term, but despite the braying from opposition members in these parts, there are actually fronts on which several local municipal leaders think the government is on track. But, again, when was the last time you heard of any government, at any level, that was widely hailed, week-in and week-out, as all things to all people, universally loved and the best thing since Sir John A? That’s right, never.

the Township’s CAO in March 2013. Prior to that, he worked as a project manager at an engineering firm in Kingston. In January, while still working for the township, Croll became the owner and director of Eastern Infrastructure Services Inc., a Belleville company that provides municipal asset management, sign work, crack sealing and line painting for small towns in Ontario. Asked whether this potential conflict of interest played a part in Croll’s departure, Cooney said bluntly, “What do you think?” Deputy Administrator/Treasurer Roxanne Hearns has taken over as CAO on an interim basis, while Deputy Clerk Tawnya Donald is filling in as Clerk. Cooney said there will be an internal review to decide how to fill the vacancies, and the township will be advertising the position of Public Works Manager soon.

the end of the day, after 215 games had been played overall during the event, championship bragging rights went to the Heavy Haulers team. But the big winners were the people involved with the Quinte West and Belleville Special Olympics. “Although we had some teams

drop out last minute and had four less teams than last year, we managed to raise a lot more money,” said tournament organizer John Kerr. “Our event raised $1,220 during the day. As well, we collected $400 in cover charge from the Black Dog restaurant in Stirling on Saturday night that was also given to

our event. In total, I delivered $1,620 to the Belleville and Quinte West Special Olympics.” In addition to the amount each team paid to participate, money was raised with raffles of items donated by area sponsors and with a barbecued lunch. There

also were door prizes given out to lucky participants. “I want to thank our Gold Sponsors, Elite Beat Productions, Kerr Electric and Contracting, Foodland Stirling, The Black Dog Restaurant and the rest of our sponsors - Batawa

Ski Hill, DetDesigns, Pure Fitness Energy Studios, Bobs Portable Toilet, Marx Electrified Hardware, Twisted Mounty, Cintas, Jillian’s Antiques, Sage Design and Construction, Tim Hortons, the Robertsons, Mr. Print and Detlor Farms.”

Job trials the result of partnership between Community Living and Campbellford hospital Campellford - The Community Hub Residential Model partnership between Community Living Campbellford/ Brighton and Campbellford Memorial Hospital is one of two collaborations. The hospital is also participating in job trials for Community Living’s clients. For the past three years, Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) has hosted learning experiences for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Community Living Campbellford/Brighton works with the hospital’s staff members to develop the learning experiences, learn the job and tasks

before the training begins, and supports CMH staff and the trainee once they are serving in a participatory role at the hospital. “This program enables our people to learn new skills, build confidence, and develop an understanding of what it means to be a reliable and dependent worker,” explained Nancy Brown, executive director, Community Living Campbellford/Brighton. “We’re really pleased to be partnering with Community Living in this way. We’re proud to be able to provide a positive learning experience for someone with an intellectual disability, while

encouraging kindness and understanding and dispelling stereotypes associated with a disability,” added Brad Hilker, president and CEO of CMH. Campbellford Memorial Hospital has recently expanded the learning experience to include a role in its finance Department. The educational experience will include inventory management, delivery of supplies to departments, recycling, photocopying, document and mail sorting/delivery and other administrative tasks. “Program participants bring a positive attitude and take pride in their contribution to Campbellford Memorial Hospital,” added Hilker.

Tweed refugee committee nearing fundraising goal but still needs housing Tweed – The Tweed Refugee Sponsorship Committee (TRSC) is nearing its fundraising goal of $30,000 thanks to the community’s generosity but still is searching for suitable accommodations for a Syrian refugee family says Vicki McCulloch with the committee’s communication and fundraising team. “Fundraising is going really well. People have been very generous,” said McCulloch. “I think by the end of February we’d raised $26,000 and we’ve received more since then. That doesn’t include more than $400 from the Tweed Elementary School and I know there’s been some other cheques provided. I think we’ll be wrapping up the formal fundraising with an event May 13 and 14 at the Marble Arts Centre.” On those dates Tweed and Company Theatre will be presenting “The Times They Are A-Changin’” based on music from the late sixties. Proceeds from the performance, which was suggested by Tweed and Company director Tim Porter will be split between the theatre company and TRSC. Ad-

ditionally a quilt donated by Townsend House Quilters will be available at a silent auction. The committee is having greater difficulty however in finding suitable accommodations for a young refugee family. “It looked like there was something promising but that fell through so we continue looking on. That probably is the key part because you really don’t want to commit to bringing a family here until there is housing in place, but I think people are optimistic that we’ll find something. So if anybody has a house or an apartment for a family of four we’re always interested,” said McCulloch. “We’ve decided to put the people in the village so at least they have the opportunity to walk to the school and stores and the park,” she reports. “We know driving is going to be a challenge anyway.” Regarding the need for interpreter, McCulloch said that Rasa Baltutis is “looking after that. But it is my understanding that there is at least one Arabic speaker here in the village who has said he’d be willing to help.” For trips to Belleville dealing with medical appoint-

Proud families cheer on Legion speakers

Tweed – Of the various annual events sponsored by Branch 428 of the Royal Canadian Legion, the public speaking contest for local students is particularly heart-warming. The pride of parents and families is almost palpable as students from Grades 1 through 9 deliver short discourses on a variety of topics. Public speaking can be tremendously intimidating, a fact noted by Branch 428 President Heather Atkins and other officials. For many of the

students this may have been their first experience in getting up and speaking before a crowd, albeit a friendly and supportive one. Judge Michael Jesmer, a retired school teacher observed that while he had little difficulty addressing his students, speaking to an assembly of his peers was a different matter, fraught with nervousness. Jesmer was joined in his role as judge by Mayor Jo-Anne Albert and Olive Brinson. Legion past-president and event organizer Pat Thomas made the commonplace but true observation that she was glad not to have had to judge the participants. “The topics were more varied this year,” noted Jesmer. Thirteen students participated in this year’s contest. The three first place winners will go on to the next zone level of competition in Marmora in April. In the Grades 1 to 3 level, Tweed Elementary student Emma Logan took a first place ribbon for her talk on “Brownies”. Hayley Harrison and Amber McCann of Tweed Ele-

mentary won second and third places respectively with presentations on “My Dog Scrappie” and “Trees”. Reid Whalen won first place in the Grades 4 to 6 competition with “The Country”. On a related theme, “Proud Canadian” Riley Lindsay received second place awards with Jaequin Christian taking third place speaking on the perennial topic, “Why My Brothers Are So Annoying.” Both students attend Tweed Elementary School. In the Grades 7 to 9 category, first place was awarded to Grace Lindsay, a student at Centennial Secondary School for her talk on “Mental Health”. Second place went to Jamie Potts of Tweed Elementary School whose topic was “Insane Hockey Fans”. Zach Karl of St. Carthagh’s Catholic School took the third place award for a talk on the “Weatherman”.

100 meal journey not hard to take By Bill Freeman Hastings – Making small changes to your diet can go a long way towards improved health and quality of life. That’s the message behind Nutrition Month’s 100 Meal Journey campaign promoted by the Dietitians of Canada. On average, a person eats 100 meals a month, says Pat Stuckless, a public health food worker with the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit, so small changes to those meals “will make a signiﬁcant difference if you stick with them.” Stuckless supervises the popular community kitchen program in Hastings where participants have learned that healthy eating doesn’t always mean expensive eating so the 100 Meal Journey is a path they’re already navigating. The campaign’s goal is to “provide information and guidance to make it a little easier for Canadians to improve diet quality and decrease quantity,” the association says. The campaign includes “doable strategies” to help people stay on track with those changes. “Small changes could be increasing the Pat Stuckless, a public health food worker with the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit, mashes chickpeas at the Community Kitchen in Hastings.

number of vegetables you have every day or eating more whole fruits,” says Stuckless. “Just things and changes that are a little bit healthier and we know are good for us.” Stuckless says there is much more public information available about healthy eating and nutrition and things like pitfalls of eating heavily processed foods and the rise of Type II Diabetes. “People are asking more questions about how they can eat healthier and what can they change and they are starting to make some of those changes,” she says. But there are still people who don’t heed the warnings and she says all they can do is to continue to support them and hope they eventually see the “value in making some of those changes.” Throughout March, the Dietitians of Canada are publishing tips on how people can make slight alterations to their meals and approach to eating to improve overall health, things like sweetening wholegrain hot cereal with defrosted frozen fruit instead of sugar or substituting lower fat plain yogurt for mayonnaise to make creamy salad dressing. They should also be looking for low-sodium options. People can also downsize plate portions and “manage munchies” by keeping snack food out of sight and clearing kitchen counters of all food except for a bowl of fresh fruit. “Oftentimes people haven’t been intro-

duced to something and if you haven’t been introduced to something you might not think that’s a good idea to include in your diet,” says Stuckless. “Community kitchens give people a good opportunity to come and try things.” At their last gathering in Hastings, one item participants made was a chickpea salad sandwich. That, Stuckless notes, falls in with the “year of the pulse.” “They’re a meat alternative and a good thing to have in place of meat once or twice a week. I’m always encouraging people to use things that are ﬂavourful instead of salt. “Diversity in food is interesting to people.” For more information visit www.dietitians.ca.

HPS hails ‘giving spirit’ of those who help students By Bill Freeman Hastings – Hastings Public School says the generosity of those who voluntarily give to the school is not lost on the students. “They’re going to carry on that giving spirit,” says Principal Sarah Rogers who remains astonished by the contributions made to the 128-student school by outside groups and individuals. “The kids are very much aware of how fortunate they are to have all these people there to support them,” Rogers, in her fourth year at the school, says. “As more opportunities get passed on to them it opens the doors to their future.” “We constantly have organizations looking at ways to help improve the school and help kids have more opportunities,” she says. They received an “out-ofthe-blue” donation from the now-defunct River Valley Photographic Society; multiple contributions from Todd McElwaine of Todd’s Valu Mart; the Hastings Helpers guided students across the pedestrian crossing during the first week

of the swing bridge closure; the Trent Hills Fire Department’s Hastings station provides a donation every year for Christmas toys, turkeys etc.; CUPE Local 5555 donated funds for the school’s breakfast program; scores of items come from the Hastings Knitters and there’s ongoing support from Breakfast Canada, the Hastings Legion and IODE. “Hastings is a very special place and the community values the school and the school obviously values the community,” says Rogers. “I do think that everybody works here as a team and you see that from family to family.” What the Hastings Helpers did, gave parents, HPS staff and school board administrators “peace of mind” during an uneasy time, Rogers said. The volunteers were eager to help, says Helpers founder Tonya McColl. “The staff and students have always been involved in the great things in Hastings so the Helpers would do everything possible to support them during the bridge closure,” McColl said. “HPS is really the hub of

our little village.” The photo society’s donation will be used to print and mount student photos that will be displayed during a special exhibition. The school will also buy another small camera. “These kids learn very quickly about community and how important it is to help each other and do things for each other. It radiates throughout the school,” says Rogers. “We do whatever we can to try to support anything at the school,” McElwaine said. “Obviously it’s a driver here in the community with parents and kids and any help I can be to any organization or business I try to support.” McElwaine admits it’s been “difficult” with the bridge closure “but you still have to try and support the community. “It’s not easy but hopefully the bridge will be open before we know it. Everyone needs to kind of band together and just support each other. I hope that the closure will bring the community closer together [and] I think it has. People have just done what they can. You have to cope. What choice do we have?” Hastings Public School students Shania Kroes, Grade 3, Brynn Cruikshank, Grade 3 and Nora Foster, Grade 4, join Todd McEl-

HBM will tender for new ice resurfacer By Bill Freeman Havelock – It’s official, Havelock-Belmont-Methuen will prepare a proposal to buy a new ice resurfacer. Council also wants to make sure that when they get a new machine a regular preventative maintenance schedule is developed and carried out during offseason months. “We want to make sure the new one lasts a full term,” Deputy-Mayor Jim Martin said. The current Zamboni 444 was slated for replacement in 2017 but faces a list of costly repairs, between $13,000 and $20,000 according to recent mechanical assessments, so council decided to advance the replacement by one season. With a $10,500 trade-in, a “top of the line” Zamboni would cost around $80,000 including taxes; they have $83,000 in reserves earmarked for the unit’s

replacement. “It might be better to get something in place for next year rather than repairing for a year or so,” Martin said. “It’s been a good unit,” he said of the Zamboni, but the township needs “to start off the next year on the right foot.” Deputy-Mayor Martin stressed the importance of preparing a proper maintenance schedule for the new machine new and sticking to it. “I’m all in favour of buying a new unit but we have to do something about maintenance in the future,” Councillor Barry Pomeroy agreed. “You can let it go a little longer if you want but you risk shutting down the rink this fall,” added Councillor Hart Webb. By going with an RFP the municipality will get to see a competitive range of pricing for machines, said Mayor Ron Gerow. If they want another year with

the current machine “it’s likely to be more money,” Gerow said. When the costs come in, details on regular maintenance requirements and options should be part of the package, he said. During an earlier council meeting Parks and Recreation Manager Doug Hart confirmed that it was time to seriously look at replacing the machine even though they were able to “get by with it.” “It’s been pretty good and the motor has been super,” Hart said at the time. An e-test gave the Zamboni a perfect rating. But the machine was facing some major repair issues including the replacement of the auger bearings. On top of repair costs would be “float fees” to transport the machine to a shop. “We’re getting little ripples in the ice but we’re getting by with it,” Hart said.

Flag raised at St. Mary’s to promote awareness of Special Olympics in Ontario By John Campbell

Campbellford – The Knights of Columbus Special Olympics Flag Relay made its way to St. Mary Catholic Elementary School last week. The flag is one of six being taken around the province as part of a fivemonth relay to raise public awareness as well as funds for the Special Olympics Provincial Games that will take place in the Durham Region June 1-3. “This is a pretty important day at St. Mary’s school and parish,” Principal Virginia Marini said. “We’re so excited we got chosen to be part of the Flag Relay.” She expressed hope in her prayer that all those who hear about the Olympics “grow in compassion and understanding of the potential of all people, regardless of their challenge.” Rick Stankiewicz, Knights of Columbus District 29 deputy, said the relay was introduced in 2011 to serve “as an umbrella for everything” that the organization does on behalf of the Special Olympics, which it helped launch in Chicago in 1968. The following year the first Canadian Special Olympics was held in Toronto, drawing 1,400 participants. The Knights of Columbus are the

world’s number one supporter and promoter of Special Olympics, having donated $500 million and countless volunteer hours over the years. Last year members raised more than $3.5 million and contributed in excess of 107,000 volunteer hours, he said. Sarah Todd, the Northumberland co-ordinator for the Special Olympics, said the provincial organization provides sports training and ath-

letic competitions for 20,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities, from 1,900 clubs. They’re supported by 10,000 volunteers. About 300 athletes from Ontario competed at the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games that took place last week in Corner Brook, Newfoundland-Labrador. Also taking part in the assembly were Special Olympics Ontario district developer Stacey McKeown and

Olympians Tyler Smith and Tom Rousseau from Cobourg. Trent Hills Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan said “one of the most wonderful experiences” she has ever had was serving as a volunteer at a Special Olympics skiing event. She was impressed by the teamwork

and dedication shown, and “the spirit was just infectious.” Every time she goes skiing now, she has “a renewed sense of being inspired” to do better for herself and for others, she said. Marini closed out the assembly by noting the school and St.

Mary’s are “really inclusive,” as all students “are together in the classrooms.” “We really believe that God has given every person a special talent,” and the Special Olympics are a way to bring out that talent and to realize the potential that each possesses.

Help of some kind sought for businesses being hurt by bridge closure By John Campbell Hastings – The search is on for assistance of some kind for businesses feeling the pinch while the village’s main crossing is being replaced. “We have a few irons in the fire to see if there are some ways to get help but there’s nothing there yet,” Trent Hills Deputy-Mayor Bob Crate said. Staff are investigating whether “there might be some funds that could be accessed” to lessen the impact the bridge’s closure is having on the bottom line of businesses, who are seeing fewer customers these days. “The situation’s not good,” he said. “They’re all suffering to varying degrees.” Crate hopes to have Kim

Rudd, MP for the new riding of Northumberland-Peterborough South, visit Hastings in the near future to “meet some of these people and hear their stories ... It’s just a frustrating situation.” He commended business owners for trying “to keep as many staff” as they can still working “to mitigate” the effect of the bridge being out of service is having, a decline in sales. The federal government had no choice but to replace the bridge for reasons of safety but it “should be looking at some ways to help these people out,” Crate insisted. He said the community has been “very fortunate” it has been a mild winter, which has enabled construction to pro-

ceed at a good pace. Community development officer Kira Mees said Parks Canada officials are “definitely optimistic” the project will finish ahead of the May 21 date that had been set for its completion. The Hastings Revitalization Committee is planning a special celebration for that long weekend, “to thank the community for all their patience,” she said. “Folks have been doing a really good job of dealing with the closure.” The “fun day” will include family-friendly activities and a movie at dusk at the former ball diamond in the middle of Hastings. It’s the same weekend the Midnight Madness Fishing

Derby takes place along with the first day of the farmers market and community yard sale. Although it has been “a very trying situation for a lot of people,” there have been “positives,” Crate noted, such as the way residents have stepped up

and worked together to meet the difficulties head-on. Many have told him how much “they’ve enjoyed meeting people on the bridge,” and residents are still supporting the Hastings Legion, where he is president, by turning out for

its weekly activities. Mees praised the Hastings Helpers for the assistance the volunteer group has provided throughout the ordeal, saying she feels “really lucky” she can call upon them to “pitch in” whenever needed.

The event was a true community partnership, Cooper noted, with the Havelock Lions buying six brand new helmets to go with helmets purchased in the past by the municipality. The municipality donated ice for the extra use and skate sharpening shop CAG One sharpened 58 pairs of skates at a discounted rate.

Havelock – There was no tanking. Students and teachers at Havelock Belmont Public School faced off in a shinny showcase that provided loads of entertainment the day before the start of March Break. It was the fourth and final game of the school’s own series of winter classic contests. “It gives students a whole other perspective of teachers,” said teacher Erin Cooper. It was also a chance for students and teachers to

have a little fun together in a very different setting capitalizing on the proximity of the arena to the school, Cooper added. For a longer period of time the school has had regular skating days at the community centre with classes visiting once a month for an hour’s worth of ice time. “Last year we started incorporating the games,” said Cooper. To make things fair the teams were balanced to make sure players (both teachers and students) with equal skill levels were on the ice at the

them.” Physicians and caregivers, “trained sensitive volunteers” who are with the resident and family 24/7 provide the end of life care. “Like the Campbellford Memorial Hospital, The Bridge Hospice is a place where people get involved,” noted Dr. Henderson. “We record an average of 1,000 to 2,000 -hours of volunteer time in any given month. Volunteers provide direct resident care, and comfort and support to grieving families and friends. In addition to direct resident care, volunteers provide administrative support, building and grounds maintenance, governance, and are engaged in fund raising activities.” A patient can be self-referred or be referred by their family physician or by a community service such as the Access Centre or Community Care. The average length of stay is two weeks, “but we have had residents with us for as little as one day and as long as 87 days”. Last year the hospice entered into a service agreement with St. Elizabeth Community Enterprise “Whereby we now have paid professional

Campellford – The story of the building of The Bridge Hospice and how it is helping people through their end of life time in a home-like setting was the focus of a presentation by Dr. Bob Henderson at a recent hospital board meeting here. A family physician for four decades, he is past chair and now medical director of the hospice and Campbellford hospital’s co-chief of staff. “It is known that there are three common fears among the dying: we fear pain; we don’t want to be alone; and we don’t want to be a burden on our loved ones. At The Bridge Hospice we address all three of these fears,” he told the board members. Built with donations and the skills and expertise of many volunteers who spent thousands of hours on site, the three-bed residential hospice is the only one in Northumberland County and it receives no government funding. He told the story of how the Warkworth Community Service Club provided the seed funding, getting behind an idea which was put forward

by three women who met around a kitchen table and how that idea “became a passion”. Without a hospice the options for those who are dying are hospital or home. “A residential hospice like The Bridge Hospice provides a third option when dying at home is not possible and hospital admission is not appropriate,” said Dr. Henderson. The hospice is helping families from as far away as Trenton and Brighton. Opening in 2012, the first year eight people were cared for, the second year there were 14 patients and this past year there were 30 in care. “When the dying person is admitted to the hospice the family is relieved of the burden of constant care they have been carrying for weeks or months and can instead focus on spending quality time with their loved one,” commented Dr. Henderson. “I have watched as families come into the hospice and are overwhelmed by the care they receive. I have heard them express their relief as the burden of care is taken from

Craft and gift sale the first of eight for the Campbellford Community Resource Centre By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Craft and gift sales have been a traditional form of fundraising since time immemorial and this popular method of raising money is something Grace Grant of Campbellford Community Resource Centre (CCRC) has tapped into for many years. “It’s become something of a tradition here,” she commented, while preparing a list of the vendors who will be participating at the March 19 event. Started in 2012, the sale has morphed into a regular event for the Centre, a non-profit organization, and Grant organizes eight of these annually. They are held in March, April, May, June, then September through December. She works as the receptionist at CCRC, a position she has held for the past seven years, so during that time Grant decided to do something to help the Centre and organizing a fundraising sale seemed the obvious choice. “I do all the organizing and have the setup done by students from Campbellford District High

School. It’s a way for them to earn their community hours,” she noted. At the time of this interview, Grant had 18 vendors who had paid to participate. Six more have expressed interest. The money raised through vendor registration goes to the Centre’s general funds for programs such as continuing education, summer camps and more. “Vendors pay $15 to $25 depending on the size of their table and the space they use,” said Grant. Her goal is to raise $1,500 or more at this event. “The majority of the vendors are from Campbellford and area with one from Durham Region,” she noted. Highlighting some of the vendors so folks will know just what to expect when they go to the Centre she listed a few and these include: Kimberley Sargent with Arbonne (Bancroft); Kelly Hubble with Baby Inspired Sewing (Marmora); Becky Smith with handmade jewellery; Kelly Cook with Thirty One; Susan Peacock with Mystic; Allure Jewellery (Campbellford); Ruth Prince with Poterra - essen-

tial oils (Melancthon); Miranda Dawe with Scentsy (Campbellford); Rita Novielli, Xpressions 32 Memory Lockets (Oshawa); Debrah McConachie with Tupperware (Brighton); Lorraine McLean with crocheted scarves and dishcloths (Campbellford); Janice Bell who will be reading Tarot Cards and selling handcrafted painted birds (Campbellford); Janice Reiff with crocheted items (Campbellford); Wendy Slade with It’s Nature’s Way homemade Jams and Jellies (Eldorado and Campbellford); Jami Garay with Scrappy Crafts handmade feather jewellery and hairpieces, and woodwork (Campbellford); and Susan Aitken with PartyLite (Orono). “Don’t miss out on this opportunity to shop locally and support local artisans and entrepreneurs,” said Grant. The sale takes place Saturday, March 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There are still at least a half dozen spots left, possibly more with the prospect of additional space opening up so anyone interested can contact Grant at 705202-1271.

Time to give back say O’Hara Mill volunteers By Diane Sherman Madoc - After hosting a second annual Family Day event in support of Children’s Mental Health Services for Hastings and Prince Edward Counties, members of the O’Hara Mill Volunteer Association decided it was time to give back to the agency which on both occasions, drew numerous visitors from CMHS and surrounding communities. Chris Budd from Eldorado, came up with the idea last year as an opportunity to get families outdoors for some wholesome activities. Budd volunteers for both organizations and says it was a perfect match. The first day in 2015 took in $500 for children’s services and $600 raised this year. The O’Hara group has been doing fairly well lately with proceeds from special events says Chair Rod Wood, so they collectively voted to donate the $1,500 proceeds from their donation boxes and food booth from this Family Day to help out CMHS. Funds go to support extracurricular activities for children utilizing the service. The Feb. 15 event was a joint effort by the O’Hara Mill and CHMS volunteers, with the Madoc Township roads department clearing roads and parking areas, and by the fire department which worked for days flooding skating rinks for visitors. March 19-20 you can join in the second 1850’s Sugar Bush demonstration with a real maple syrup boil down, pancake breakfast and outdoor activities, see <ohara-mill.org> for the 2016 event schedule.

Free tuition announcement gets high marks from Campbellford students By Sue Dickens Campbellford – The provincial government’s decision to offer free tuition to students seeking post-secondary education is receiving high marks from students, including those at Campbellford District High School (CDHS). Caitlin Penney and Dawson Beales are Grade 12 students and their goal of going to college or university is much closer now that they can apply for the new Ontario Student Grant which was announced in Ontario’s 2016 budget. Caitlin, who works part time has always wanted to go to university but found it cost prohibitive. “I was thinking I would go to college because it is cheaper but now I definitely want to go to university,” she said. Dawson chose to do a victory lap at CDHS, returning for a fifth year to take more than the required 30 credits to graduate, a decision that has allowed him

the opportunity to work and save for tuition fees. “This announcement has changed my plans,” he commented, adding he is now able to apply for college sooner than anticipated. “Dawson had completed an application down to the last step where you choose your program but needed a little more time to get the financing for tuition,” noted Trish Wood, guidance and career education counsellor at CDHS. Under the new grant program, the government will replace a number of existing provincial assistance programs with the single, targeted, non-repayable Ontario Student Grant starting in the 2017-18 academic year. For Caitlin and Dawson that means if they find space at the post-secondary institution of their choice this fall they will have to pay their tuition for their first year but every year after that will be covered. The changes to OSAP will reduce the cost for many eliminating provincial student loan

debt for eligible students whose parents earn less than $50,000 and providing the majority of eligible students whose parents earn the median annual income of $83,300 or less with enough in grants to more than cover their tuition costs. “It’s really encouraging and I think the students who have been dissuaded from going to post secondary because of the huge financial cost are starting to say hey wait a minute I think I might be able to get through the post secondary education program and not have that huge debt at the end,” said Wood. There are about 120 students in Grade 12 at CDHS. “Right now if you look at this year’s graduation class we have approximately 55 to 60 per cent applying and going on next year to post-secondary education without this grant and about 40 per cent that are going to work instead,” she noted. “I think if you look at the government stats, they are hop-

Old waterlines demanding piecemeal repairs By Diane Sherman Madoc - Residents of east St. Lawrence and Wellington Streets in the Village of Madoc had an early morning knock at their door Friday, March 11 by Centre Hastings waterworks employees. Foreman Fabian Cooney and his workers warned residents there may be a water service shutdown and they should set some water aside for basic uses. His hope was the repair would be simple, expecting it to be a lateral service line leak. Early Friday morning, the Ontario Clean Water monitor system read excessive flow in the Wellington Street area. A leak was found across from the Pentecostal Church. Cooney’s assessment was correct, though two leaks were found in archaic 3/4 inch copper piping buried in rock and muck which took more time to dig out than repair. Residents lived with a short service loss until 1 p.m., when water flowed freely again. The municipality has been faced

The superintendent of public works, Roger Taylor has requested budgeting to replace old sanitary mains running east on St. Lawrence, but it appears there may be more unexpected repairs as an aging infrastructure system continues

to break down. Mayor Tom Deline says the village has received provincial funding to find a new municipal well site to back up the existing Rollins Street well supply but funding for the aging waterworks system will come out of the budget. Repairs are scheduled for the St. Lawrence Street east sector this year, though major work will depend on approval of grant funds.

HBM angry at health unit name change By Bill Freeman Havelock – Havelock-BelmontMethuen council is not happy with the decision to change the name of the Peterborough County-City Health Unit to Peterborough Public Health. They’re also disappointed an HBMled motion at County Council calling for a debate did not pass and that the only discussion councillors had followed a delegation by Medical Officer of Health Dr. Rosana Salvaterra. The name-change decision, which comes into effect June 1, was made Wednesday by the Board of Health following an earlier recommendation from a committee studying the issue.

The health unit’s legal name remains the Peterborough County-City Health Unit but its “operational name” will be re-branded as Peterborough Public Health. During an earlier visit to HBM council, Dr. Salvaterra said that name “rose to the top.” “Public confusion” over the current name, the need to underscore the role of public health and the organization’s move to a new building are key reasons for the initiative, Dr. Salvaterra says. “We get a lot of feedback that the name is difficult. Often the public doesn’t know who we are (and) there is nowhere in our name that says public health. We’re trying to bring great-

er awareness to what public health is.” That reasoning doesn’t sit well with HBM council. “We are getting left out in the cold,” Councillor Barry Pomeroy said. “We’re (Peterborough County) a great contributor but we’re losing our identity; they’re stripping us. People in the county are so easily sloughed off.” Peterborough County’s eight municipalities contribute $840,000 a year to the health unit, says Mayor Ron Gerow. “It comes from all of us.” Gerow doesn’t buy the argument that a name change will alleviate confusion. “I still think there’s going to be a

number of folks living in the county confused about services.” Gerow has been a vocal defender of keeping the word County in any new name. “I’ve had a flood of calls and emails. It’s opened up a lot of floodgates. It’s opened up a wider debate,” he said. “It all goes back to the rural designation; we’re losing our identity and this doesn’t help.” He calls it “unfair” and a “disservice” to County residents and maintains the “whole issue” should have been on a County Council agenda for debate. “A number of us were very disappointed that the County did not at least take a stand to let the Board of Health

know it is important to us as County residents.” Deputy-Mayor Jim Martin pointed to Peterborough Economic Development as another organization that dropped the rural component from its operational name. “We contribute a lot of money to that too,” he said. “You could get on a big rant about all of this.” “Rural Ontario is under attack,” Gerow said. “It seems like everything is being pushed to bigger centres and rural Ontario is paying the price. As a representative from rural Ontario, I’m not ready to let that happen. It’s up to us to take a stand. I don’t think this debate is over.”

is a real threat that somebody is going to get hurt while trying to cross Highway 7 in front of the parking lot.” Citro drives through Roseneath every day and sees the speed sign on County Road 45. “The visual sign is an excellent and effective way to remind me of the change of speed and I feel that it increases the safety for pedestrians.” Council is sympathetic but unsure how the Ministry of Transportation would respond to a radar sign request. “I don’t know if we’re allowed to put sign there on Highway 7,” said Deputy-Mayor Rodger Bonneau. “I don’t think we’ve ever discussed trying to do something like that. “I know the county road wouldn’t be much of a problem,” Bonneau said, referring to the village’s south entrance on County Road 45. “I am in agreement if we could possibly do something like that. I think it’s a great idea.” “We’ve been told many times we have no control over signing on High-

way 7,” Councillor Roy Millett said. that section and see if the province’s “They’d turn us down flat because new pedestrian legislation only apwe don’t have a connecting link. plies when a crossing guard is present. Anything we seriously want from the MTO should go to the Police Services Board.

Safety near school in spotlight at council By Bill Freeman Norwood – Asphodel-Norwood council wants to help St. Paul School find a way to make traffic slow down on Highway 7 near the school’s cross walk and parking lot. St. Paul principal Robert Citro has approached the municipality and favours a flashing speed sign activated by approaching vehicles like in Havelock, Keene, Hastings and Roseneath. The school has a crossing guard at the location and there’s signage and road markings but many vehicles approach the zone above speed limits despite signage outside the village warning eastbound traffic to slow down to 70 km per hour then 50. The parking lot and cross walk are also used by churchgoers. “There have been some close calls with cars not slowing down or on a few occasions not stopping even with the [crossing guard’s] stop sign clearly visible along with a bright, orange vest being worn,” says Citro. “There

Community Living Campbellford/Brighton establishing community hub residential model

Campbellford - Community Living Campbellford/Brighton has initiated steps to identify candidates for the Community Hub Residential Model (CHR Model) underway in Northumberland County in partnership with Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH). In August 2014, the Minister of Community and Social Services announced that Community Living Campbellford/Brighton would receive $400,000 over two years to create, in collaboration with CMH, a centralized “hub” of support and services for aging individuals with intellectual disabilities that will allow them to continue living independently in rural areas. “This initiative recognizes that there is a growing number of seniors with intellectual disabilities and developmental services must evolve to better serve them. The project aims to assist people who require a significant level of support but don’t necessarily need someone with them for 24 hours a day,” explained Nancy Brown, executive director, Community Living Campbellford/Brighton. The organization has begun the process of identifying the six candidates selected from the existing residential wait list who meet the predetermined criteria for support. Appropriate candidates will be identified through a provincial process with Developmental Services Ontario. Ideal matches for this CHR Model are people who meet the following criteria: have immedi-

ate needs requiring higher levels of support and more frequent assistance than the typical Supported Independent Living Program can provide (i.e. people who require approximately 15 – 24 hours of support per week); do not require the medical monitoring of 24 onsite supervision that would be provided in a group home or long-term care home. The CHR Model is designed to allow direct support professionals based in a central hub to provide predetermined booked hours of support, as well as spontaneous support on a 24 hour basis, for people in numerous housing locations within a 20 km radius of the hub. Available supports include, but are not limited to financial management, help managing an apartment, assistance with all activities of daily living and developing community connections. “Campbellford Memorial Hospital is pleased to be partnering with Community Living Campbellford/Brighton to assist in providing ‘wraparound’ care and other services for eligible CHR candidates. Our intent is to ensure that comprehensive support is provided to people with intellectual disabilities as well as aging caregivers. We anticipate a role for the Geriatric Intervention and Assessment Network (GAIN), Trent Hills Family Health Team, the Campbellford and District Community Mental Health Centre and other community-based organizations,” stated Brad Hilker, president and CEO, Camp-

It is anticipated that the innovative Community Hub Residential Model will prevent premature admission to long-term care, reduce avoidable emergency department visits, improve care and quality of life, assist people in finding affordable housing and increase capacity to meet the needs

of people on the residential wait list. “This project recognizes that the CHR model is an ideal residential support option for a large number of people with intellectual disabilities who require a level of support that falls between the Group Home Supported Independent Living programs,” concluded Nancy Brown.

New Hastings bridge begins to arrive, big crane on the way

By Bill Freeman

Hastings – Pieces of the most talked about bridge in the region are finally arriving in Hastings. The new Lock 18 bridge has been built and assembled in Montreal over the past five months then disassembled so it could be painted and shipped to Hastings where it will be re-assembled starting this week. The concrete pier and abutments have already been repaired and modified and nearly all the concrete work at the site has been done. “The contractor has surveyed the site in recent weeks to ensure the mechanical components are precisely located and the site is prepared for the re-assembly and installation of the new bridge,” Parks Canada said in a project update. Trent Hills Community Development Officer Kira Mees says that in her conversations with Parks Canada she gets the sense that they’re “optimistic of finishing ahead of schedule.” Parks Canada has publicly said that the bridge would reopen May 21 in time for the start of the 2016 Trent Severn boating season. “It’s not in the update but I feel comfortable saying that because the weather has been kind to the project,” Mees said. Mees confirmed that Parks Canada will be bringing a big crane to the site for one day near the end of March and the unit will be situated on a portion of the paved

pedestrian walkway forcing the contractor to shut direct access to the Bridge Street walkway entrance for that one day. Pedestrians will still be able to use the crossing the day the crane is in place but will have to access the walkway through the Pond Street parking lot behind the Bridgewater Café and The Water Lily. The Hastings Helpers will be on site during the morning and afternoon to help students down Pond Street, through the parking lot to the pedestrian crossing, Mees says. There will be extra volunteers at the site that day if the need arises, she added. “Parks Canada recognizes Bridge Street access is the sole entry point that is wheel chair accessible,” it said in its update. Because of that, Parks Canada says it’s continuing to work closely with organizations like the Helpers and the Municipality of Trent Hills to “reach out to residents” impacted by the temporary closure. “This is the new thing we’re going to be dealing with but it’s a good sign because they’re putting the bridge in place,” said Mees. “It’s a sign of light at the end of the tunnel. “The Helpers will pitch in that day.”

Hastings – The Hastings Civic Centre has become something of a knightly castle on Saturday afternoons. The well-regarded Blades of Glory re-enactment and entertainment ensemble has set up shop at the Civic Centre in an effort to lure people to the Hub of the Trent during the swing bridge closure. The Hastings-based group is there with displays, familyfriendly interactive events like “challenge the knight” and other special additions like a visit from Tracey Eustace, a professional face painter and balloon twister. This Saturday at noon they will lead a March Break storytelling session with the Hastings Public Library. The weekly gatherings are not only a platform for Blades of Glory to promote their activities and summer theme park outside of Hastings but a way of reminding outsiders that Hastings is open for business despite the enormous challenge posed by the closure of the swing bridge which means there’s no direct north and south vehicle access. A special walkway around the construction site accommodates those who are able to walk, bike or scooter across. Expanded parking lots on both the north and south sides allow people to park and walk. “I want people to come over to shop in Hastings, have a coffee, go to lunch, and shop in the stores. There are a ton of things,” says Blades of Glory member Montse Alvarado. The Blades of Glory events at the Civic Centre run from noon until 3 p.m. For more information visit <www. bladesofglory.ca. Appearances in Hastings run March 19, April 16 & 30, May 7, 14 & 21 from Noon to 3 p.m. each time.

Browning hopes Canada’s women make ‘breakthrough’ at Worlds

medals in Boston. On the dance, pairs and men’s side things look as strong as ever. The big unknown is how the women’s team of Alaine Chartrand, Gabby Daleman and Katelyn Osmond perform. “We’re still waiting for our girls to make a break-

through,” four-time World and Canadian men’s champion Kurt Browning said during an interview in Norwood where he performed over the weekend. The Canadian dancers, pairs and men have “stayed strong for a long time,” Browning says, and Canada’s Sochi Olympic silver in the team event was an excellent measure of its young skaters. “It was nice at the Canadians to see three girls fighting for the title instead of just assuming one is going to win,” said Browning of the thrilling event that had five skaters vying for the podium. Joannie Rochette’s silver in 2009 is the only women’s world championship medal since Elizabeth Manley’s in 1988 and Canada hasn’t had two female skaters finish in the top ten since 1994 so it’s understandable eyes focus on their performances at international competitions. “It just seems that our women are trying to figure out how to get the technical and magical at the same time,” says Browning. The team, he says, has a “couple of girls who can really jump” and Osmond who “has the magic.” Osmond’s comeback from a devastating leg fracture is a wonderful story. “When she competes it looks like that’s the only thing she wants to do, that puts you at ease and you enjoy her skate. You’re not thinking of anything else because she’s so bubbly, effervescent and happy. Gab-

by and Alaine are amazing technicians but we’re still waiting for them to own it.” Browning’s hopeful their time has arrived but knows how fickle fate can be at the rarefied worlds. “Time goes by very quickly at the top of the world and sometimes your chance at a top ten or top five is just once.”

“It was nice at the Canadians to see three girls fighting for the title instead of just assuming one is going to win.” Browning is awestruck by the skating depth he sees around the world. “Russia has a machine that churns them out” and Asia is producing “so many phenomenal superstars. “Japan is figuring out how to put the magic in. Before they were just technicians. Now they’re really creating special moments on both sides of the spectrum, the physical and emotional. They’re so darned good,” he said. “When I competed, the world was much smaller. It was me and Viktor Petrenko. Now there’s eight guys who could beat Patrick Chan. If those kids win it’s a much harder win that it was for me. I hate to say it but it’s true.”

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

Madoc - What started in 1990-91 as the Madoc House League with 50 players, then renamed the Bruce Lee House League one year later, has finished 25 years of continuous hockey at the Madoc arena This year, the league did it with a roster of 177 children from Hastings, Norwood, Kaladar, Gilmour, Foxboro, Marmora, Madoc and area. The goal was to provide affordable hockey to any child who wanted to play. Over the years, hundreds of children enrolled, some now returning with children of their own. In a year-end statement, founders Harold and Karen Bailey credited its success to the coaches, many who have coached several years “and have a good grip on the feel of what BLHL is about.” Brayden Bailey, Kobe Dostaler, Colby Laviolette, Bryce Denny and Cam Hamilton, former house league players who volunteer their time to referee games, were credited for there services along with the parents, siblings and grandparents of league members. Over the years the Kiwanis Club of Madoc, Madoc Legion Branch 363 and Madoc Home Hardware have been loyal supporters along with several others who chose to remain anonymous. Harold Bailey noted the children themselves raised $3,000 this year with a skate-a-thon. “This all contributes to keeping the cost of play down. This year we purchased 30 sweaters with the help of sponsors.” BLHL organizers host an annual bus

Sticks, stones and fun for all ages

By Margriet Kitchen Marmora – What do you get when you have 16, twoperson teams with a full complement of curling club members? Why the Marmora and Area Curling Club’s “Almost St. Patrick’s Invitational Stick Spiel” of course! The rules are a little different with one team curler at each end and delivery is strictly by stick with no sweeping between the hog lines. Curlers attended from Picton, Stirling and Marmora. The winning team of Doug and Ann Brownson of Marmora, were followed by the second place team of John McLellan and Cris Campbell of Picton with Sheila and Peter Ylipelkola from Marmora in third. “Stick curling allows those whose age or physical health

requires a bit of help to get that rock down the ice. With the stick to assist them, they can still take part in all the fun,” said Inge Draper. There are provincial and Canadian championships for stick curling, including the Canadian Wheelchair Curling Championship, April 4-10 in Regina, Sask. There has been lots of activity at the curling club lately. During the week of March 4-11, students from Marmora Senior and Sacred Heart Schools were introduced to the sport by volunteers of the Marmora club. On Friday, over 50 students attended to learn more about the popular pastime, and enjoy some practice on the ice. “We hope to encourage more young people to come out and take part in curling,” said Inge. “We want them to realize how much fun this is,

both traditional and with the stick. The cost is very low.” For a student to join the curling club for the full season, the cost is $56.50 for those who are enrolling on their own, or $28.25 for children who have a family member already a member. Youth instruction for proper technique takes place every Sunday afternoon. An upcoming spiel on March 19 will be the annual Curl for Kids with proceeds going to Camp Oochigeas for youngsters battling cancer. The event is now in its 30th year. Over that period of time, the organizers have raised $50,000. for Camp Oochigeas. The Curl for Kids Bonspiel for this year is full, but donations are very welcome. Call Myrtle Berry (613) 902-7680 for information.

What at a week in was for Quinte Blades Speed Skaters at the Special Olympics National Winter Games in Corner Brook, Nfld. They experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, along with exceptional competitive spirit and sportsmanship from speed skaters from twelve provinces and territories. Six members from the local team came home with medals. Dianne Roebuck earned three silvers; in the 111-metre, 222-metre and 333-metre distances. Adam James won bronze in the 500-metre and 1,500-metre events. And Kai Freeland won bronze in the 1,000-metre race. Nicole Ferguson sustained an injury following her first race that put her out of the competition for the rest of the week. Members of the Blades also participated in a clinic hosted by National Coach Jacques Thibault with a surprise appearance by Catriona LeMay Doan; an exceptionally special experience for athletes and coaches alike. The Canadian Team selections will be announced in about six weeks, and the Blades hope a local representative will be invited to attend the 2017 Special Olympics World Games in Kai Freeland of the Quinte Blades competes at the National Winter Games Austria. in Corner Brook, Nfld.

CrossFit Belleville Quinte Red Devils earn silver at OMHAs

The CrossFit Belleville Bantams headed to Barrie for the OMHA Championships over the weekend and were ranked third in the overall rankings. A tall order was ahead if they were going to be OMHA gold winners as they would need to knock off the 5th and 6th ranked teams in Ontario (Whitby Wildcats and Barrie Colts respectfully), the Devils would also need to beat the top two teams in the SCTA Halton Hurricanes and the Brampton 45’s along the way. Game #1 – Quinte Red Devils (4) – Brampton 45’s (1) On Friday the Red Devils opened up against the Brampton 45’s who were second in the SCTA (South Central AAA) and would play tough against the Devils. The CrossFit Belleville Bantams would open the scoring but Brampton answered right back before the first period ended. The Quinte Red Devils would score the only goal of the second period and would head into the dressing room with the lead into the third. Ethan Taylor was in net for the Bantams and played very well stopping all but one shot he faced. Quinte would score twice more in the third and put the game out of reach. Goals were scored by Emmet Pierce, Keegan Hunt, Michael Andrews and Daniel Panetta, while assists went to Emmet Pierce(2), Danial Panetta(2), Zach Uens, Michael Andrews and Bailey Matthews Player of the Game honours went to Daniel Panetta Game #2 – Quinte Red Devils (5) – Halton Hurricanes (1) The second game of the OMHA tournament would be against the Halton Hurricanes, the top ranked team and the stingiest defensive teams in the SCTA as they had only given up 38 goals in 36 games in regular season play. The Hurricanes would open the scoring just five minutes into the first period but as this Red Devils team has done so many times all season, they battled back and scored 5 unanswered goals to take home the victory. Brennan Bush was in net and continued his great play inside theblue. Goals were scored by Derrick Vos, Cameron Supryka, Dalton Bancroft, No-

lan Seto and Michael Andrews while assists went to Derrick Vos, Nolan Seto(2), Ryan Loiselle(2) and Isaac Langdon(3) Player of the Game Honours went to Ryan Loiselle. Game #3 – Quinte Red Devils (1) – Whitby Wildcats (3) Saturday would have the Red Devils facing the two top ranked teams back to back as they played the Whitby Wildcats in the first game of the day. Whitby would open the scoring in the first period and would take the lead late into the second period before Quinte answered back with less than two minutes left in the period. The third period was no doubt the worst period these boys have played in a very long time and handed Whitby the victory. Ethan Taylor was in net for the loss. The loan goal was scored by Michael Andrews while assists went to Logan White and Cardin Guerin Player of the Game Honours went to Ethan Taylor. Game #4 – Quinte Red Devils (3) – Barrie Colts (2) Both of these teams know each other very well as they recently just concluded a 5 game playoff series where the Devils came back in dramatic fashion to overcome a 2-1 game deficit to win the series 3-2. Some irony here as the Red Devils would repeat this same feat as they trailed the Barrie Colts 2-1 heading into the final period with a winner destined for the Gold Medal game and the loser headed to the Bronze Medal Game. Brennan Bush was in net for Bantams and played extremely well and gave his team time to mount yet another comeback against the Colts. The Red Devils would tie the game up early in the third period and would score with less than three minutes remaining, sending them to the Gold Medal Game on Sunday against the Whitby Wildcats. Goals were scored by Jake Campbell, Logan White and Michael Andrews while assists went to Emmet Pierce, Daniel Panetta, Dalton Bancroft and Cameron Supryka Player of the Game Honours went to Emmet Pierce.

OMHA Gold Medal Game The CrossFit Belleville Bantams would need a good start in order to put Whitby on their heels and allow our team’s strong fore-check and defensive skills to take over the game, this did not happen as Whitby scored first on the power play eight minutes into the game. Ethan Taylor would hold the fort as his teammates gathered their legs. Whitby would score early in the second period and would take a commanding 2-0. Just before the second period would end, the Quinte Red Devils would get on the board to make it 2-1 heading into the dressing room. The third period would see the Bantams in some penalty trou-

ble again and Whitby would take a 3-1 lead with less than nine minutes remaining in the game. There were plenty of good opportunities for the Red Devils, but the Whitby goaltender played well. With just over five minutes remaining the Devils would come within one goal and sent Ethan Taylor to the bench in the remaining 90 seconds. The Devils came close to tying the game up but the Whitby Wildcats would win OMHA Gold and the local Bantams came home with silver medals. Goals were scored by Jake Campbell and Michael Andrews while assists went to Derrick Vos, Emmet Pierce, Logan White and Dalton Bancroft. Player of the Game Honours went to Michael Andrews.

Midget Cougars hosting Ontario finals By Bill Freeman Campbellford – Fans of high calibre fastball are in for a treat this summer when the Campbellford OPG Cougars host the OASA provincial championship. The defending Canadian championship silver medalists will host both the “A” and “B” sides of the showdown July 22-24 with the “A” final being played in Campbellford and the “B” side in Stirling. The “A” side of the competition will be determined at the OASA midget elimination tourney in Cobourg June 24-26 with the top eight teams heading to Campbellford to battle for the OASA Midget “A” title. The rest of the teams from the eliminations will play off in Stirling. Campbellford will have another strong team this season with most of the players that travelled to Fredericton, New Brunswick to play in the Canadian championships back with the Cougars.

There will be plenty of showcase softball in the area this summer including the OASA Junior A eliminations in Grafton on Canada Day weekend. The Junior A/B/C provincial finals will also be played that weekend in Grafton. Grafton will also play host to the Intermediate B/C East finals Aug. 19-21. Springbrook will host the OASA Squirt U-12 provincial finals July 1-3 and Napanee will host the OASA bantam eliminations on Canada Day weekend. This year’s Canadian midget championship will be held in Saskatoon Aug. 9-14 with the Eastern Canadian final in Newfoundland Aug. 25-30. At last year’s national U-18 championships, the Cougars dropped a tough 6-1 game to the powerhouse New Hamburg Heat to squelch their gold medal hopes. That loss put them into the bronze medal game where they turned in a solid effort to beat the Hickson Tigers 10-5.

Shrimp from Campbellford? First Ontario Shrimp an Ontario first By Sue Dickens Campbellford – The owners of First Ontario Shrimp soon realized after deciding to explore aquafarming that raising shrimp is very different from raising pigs but the success of their new venture is a testament to the family’s pioneer spirit. Farming a 20-gram shrimp is definitely not the same as raising a 300 pound pig, but for Paul Cocchio, his wife Tracy, and his son Brad, it’s the differences that are making their new business choice an example of how thinking outside the box can be a recipe for success in the changing world of agriculture. “There is very little literature on any of this. It’s been a learning curve for sure,” said Brad after providing a somewhat limited tour of the facility on the family’s 400-acre farm.

Viewing of the 200 x 40 foot converted barn from a doorway was necessary because of concerns of contamination of the facility that has strict “biosecure measures in effect,” noted Brad. “It doesn’t take much to wipe them out,” he said as he talked about the planning and research that had to be done before First Ontario Shrimp could sell its product to consumers. “We had five years of red tape before we could even begin to build the facility for the shrimp,” he lamented. One of the steps involved getting Pacific White Shrimp added to an aquaculture species list by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. “After the approvals we renovated one of our three pig barns. We had to pour the cement tanks, line them with a pond liner and put in air pumps and heaters and of course (sea) salt in the Please see page B2

There are many ways to cook/prepare Pacific White shrimp but barbecuing is one method that is very popular. Photo submitted The interior of the 200 x 40 foot converted pig barn is home to Pacific White shrimp which are being raised for consumption by Brad Cocchio (pictured) and his father Paul.

water,” Brad explained. That took two years to complete. “It was quite a change going from raising an animal that you could see what it looked like to raising shrimp underwater where you can’t see anything and you don’t even know if it’s eaten its food,” he added with a grin. “We’re growing a bacteria in the water called biofloc (a protein rich aggregate of organic material and micro-organisms including bacteria, protozoa and algae) and this biofloc consumes excess feed, shrimp waste and the shrimp shells which accumulate when they moult and grow into a bigger shell,” he added. For the Cocchios, shrimp farming was something of a mystery, but they have learned what works and what doesn’t. Since

they set up the aquaculture venture last year, they have implemented several improvements. The family of farmers is very proud of the fact that there is no negative environmental impact, which makes the process sustainable and eco-friendly. The shrimp are 12 days old when they arrive from a hatchery in Florida and three or four months later the 15 to 20 gram crustaceans are ready to be shipped to market. John Bil, owner of a relatively new seafood shop and lunch counter in Toronto, called Honest Weight, is their biggest customer. “We ship about 100 pounds a week to Toronto,” said Brad. “We also get local people contacting us with orders for the shrimp.” The “sweet tasting” shrimp sells for $18 per

The Hastings/Quinte Social Services committee approved a 2016 budget Wednesday, March 9 that will bring modest savings to municipal taxpayers. The budget has a net cost of $17,266,964, a reduction of 1.37 per cent from last year’s budget. “The net cost is actually going down, it’s equivalent to $240,000 (in savings)” said Hastings County’s finance director Sue Horwood. She presented the budget in a presentation with Social Services Director Steve Gatward. The budget for social services is shared by Hastings County’s 14 member municipalities, plus Belleville and Quinte West. The money these municipalities commit to social services each year goes to several programs to help the most vulnerable, such as Ontario Works, social housing programs, and child care subsidies.

Extra immunization clinics available to avoid student suspensions Hastings Prince Edward Public Health has been working with local schools to ensure student immunization records are up-todate. Under the Immunization of School Pupils Act, public health is required to maintain up-to-date immunization records for all students. This year, parents of children aged 7 and 17 have until April 15 to get this information updated with public health. “We prefer to not suspend students, which is why we send out two rounds of notices and offer extra immunization clinics. Parents still have plenty of time to get their

children’s immunization records up-to-date,” says Bill Sherlock, Program Manager with HPEPH. “We just sent out the second round of notices this week,” he added. As of February, a total of 2,000 notices were sent to parents of children age 7 and 17 as an initial notice to update their child’s immunization records. As of March, a total of 1,200 students will receive final suspension notices. However, it is important to note that students still have plenty of time to update their immunization records prior to the actual suspension date of

April 15. In the event of an outbreak, public health staff must be able to act quickly and advise those who are not immunized so they can take actions to protect themselves. Without up-to-date immunization records, public health cannot reach unprotected people as quickly. Requiring proof of immunizations also prompts parents to ensure their child’s immunizations are current, which will help protect children from vaccine-preventable diseases. “If your child received a suspension notice,

we are asking parents to check their child’s immunization records,” added Sherlock. “If records are up-to-date, please notify public health. If your child requires additional immunizations, please make arrangements to vaccinate your child, either through your health care provider or at a public health clinic. It is important for parents to notify public health after their child has been immunized.” To find an immunization clinic near you, visit the HPEPH website at www.hpeph.ca or call 613-966-5500, ext.221 or toll-free at 1-800-267-2803, ext. 221.

TRAVEL

Touring Peru’s Spectacular Highlands

A remaining temple wall at the Temple of Wiracocha.

This church is often referred as to “the Andean Sistine Chapel”.

By John M. Smith

After visiting the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, and Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire and oldest continuously inhabited city of the Western Hemisphere, my next Peruvian adventure was to head north, through the Highlands, to Lake Titicaca, to explore the fascinating floating reed islands. However, as I headed north on my latest quest, I discovered that the Highlands themselves offered spectacular scenery and a plethora of significant historical sites. Indeed, the journey from Cusco to Puno, along the so-called “Road of the Sun”, turned out to be a very worthwhile adventure trek all on its own. It’s told that, once upon a time, the mythical founders of the vast Inca Empire (Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo), by divine mandate of the Sun God, emerged from the cold waters of Lake Titicaca to search for the most fertile valley, and they found what would later become the Empire’s capital city: Cusco. Therefore, I was following this same ancient route, this magical path, only in reverse, for I was heading north from Cusco to Puno. As I journeyed from Cusco, I soon passed San Sebastian, a picturesque farming town, and Oropesa, where Pan Chuta bread is still made in the ancient way, using the same natural ingredients and the old colonial-style ovens. I then arrived at the small town of Andahuaylillas, where I visited what’s often referred to as “The Andean Sistine Chapel”. It was built in 1580, and it appears as relatively plain and ordinary from its exterior, but with three large sculptured crosses on its grounds. However, once I entered the church, I found that it was filled with a dazzling display of beautiful frescoes and carvings, and its ceiling was decorated in

floral patterns and gold leaf. Quite a contrast! The next place of great interest along this route was at Raqch’i, where I found what remains of a large archaeological complex that included the Temple of Wiracocha, which at one time was said to stand 100 metres long, 26 metres wide, and 14 metres high. Quite a temple! I was still able to see what’s left of several giant columns there, and portions of walls that were built of stone, with a layer of adobe above this. I was also able to see that this site had been much more than just a gigantic Incan temple, for there had been several storehouses, terraces, and living quarters adjacent to it. As I continued along this route, I stopped at the small city of Sicuani for lunch, where I finally tasted some alpaca meat (not bad!), and then rode past herds of cattle, sheep, llamas, and alpaca before rising above the tree line into a much more rugged, barren landscape. I eventually arrived at La Raya, the highest point on this journey, at an altitude of more than 12,000 feet! Breathing is somewhat difficult up here in this mountain pass, and some visitors seemed to be literally gasping. This would not be a great place to go for a brisk hike or a jog before acclimatizing. However, the view of the strikingly desolate, treeless land and the distant snow-capped mountains was truly incredible! Of course, there were also some souvenirs for sale up here at booths that were set up by the locals for the tourists! I next stopped at the town of Pucara, where I visited its museum, to learn about a pre-Incan civilization that once inhabited this area, and I also visited a nearby archaeological site, the remains of one of Peru’s oldest civilizations. While here, I was told that this town was renowned for its “Toritos de Pucara” (little bulls of Pucara), and

I discovered that tourist items were for sale at the very summit of the mountain pass.

I noticed that several of the local houses had decorative, sculpted bulls mounted over their doorways – hopefully bringing happiness, wealth, and fertility there. I also visited the area’s largest city, Juliaca, which has the major airport for the area (and the longest landing strip in Latin America). Like Chicago, it’s nicknamed “The Windy City” (because of its location on the exposed Collao Plateau). However, I didn’t find Juliaca particularly beautiful, for it’s primarily a commercial and industrial centre, and there was lots of garbage littering the city streets. After getting through the bustling city of Juliaca, it’s just a short drive of 43 km. to Puno, on the shore of Lake Titicaca (the highest navigable lake in the world). I found that Puno has less than 4 km. of flat land between its shoreline and its foothills, for the city is surrounded by water and mountains; therefore, the expanding city must build upwards onto the hillsides, with the poor having to live further up, often on very steep slopes, with footpaths and no automobile accessibility. Also, the city’s high elevation leads to colder average temperatures being the norm. However, Puno does attract a lot of tourists, for Lake Titicaca is, like Machu Picchu, a ‘must see’ on any visit to Peru - and I found that this trip from Cusco to Puno, through Peru’s Highlands, was also very worthwhile!

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth:Canada Blooms-It’s A Party

The annual trip to Canada Blooms, with the 2016 theme of It’s A Party, has been completed. I was privileged to ride down to the show with a group of enthusiastic gardeners for the first day of Canada’s premier garden celebration. Last year, the building was labelled the Direct Energy Centre and this year it is Enercare. Folks, whatever the name of the building, the site is and always will be Exhibition Place with the Princes’ Gates as the welcoming entrance. No matter how many times I’ve been to the grounds, I feel as if I am connected to Canadian history when I pass through the gates. It was a beautiful day, with sunny skies and warm spring temperatures, and traffic was very light, even on Toronto’s largest linear parking spot, the Don Valley Parkway. So, we all arrived in good time and great spirits. The show itself was excellent with everything one could reasonably expect. There were two exhibits that really stood out for me. The first was the Landscape Ontario (LO) exhibit. No less than 13 volunteers from Wentworth Landscapes (Kingston, Belleville, Picton offices) were on hand to help the more than 80 professional members from across the province. As

B8 Section B - Thursday, March 17, 2016

someone actively involved in the education initiatives of LO, it is especially nice to note that six post-secondary institutions had students on the floor working. I believe special mention should be given to Jim Philip, Operations Manager, who oversaw the building of Choose Your Path. The second feature garden was H2O Yeah! by Genoscape Landscaping who’s 2015 garden stopped me in my tracks. This year, theirs was the second garden I purposely sought out. These folks have a special affinity for water and the creativity of their design subtly draws you into their realm. In this exhibit, I saw people just standing there enjoying the natural ambience even though they were inside a big ol’ building in the middle of the city. I can’t think of any better examples as to why folks wouldn’t seek out professional members of Landscape Ontario. On a slightly sadder note, I did miss the presence of Shibui Landscaping and Arthur Skolnik: a gentleman who had a profound influence on our industry. The Flower Show, put on by Canada Blooms’ co-partners The Garden Club of Toronto, was very interesting

and entertaining. I’m confident that most artists would label me “Philistine” because “I don’t know art but I know what I like.” Quite often I am mesmerised by a piece that I just can’t bend my mind around. This year (perhaps due to maturity?) it was a pleasure to see wonderful specimens, e.g. a fully blooming, perfectly proportioned kumquat standard, and the wall art display of framed succulents. This is something that we will definitely try in the Clost household. There were many products available in the marketplace and at various locations, one of which was a vertical wall being displayed at the Jill Jensen booth. Basically, it is a system of plastic panels that stack as high and as wide as you would like with generous planting pockets. It is ideal for apartments and patios. Blooms is “co-located” with the National Home Show (almost 600 exhibitors) and one can easily get lost in the hot tub section alone. The Blooms ticket also gives access to the home show. One of the “fun” parts of the day was discovering the food trucks just beside the celebrity stage. Gentle Reader these aren’t your grampa’s

chip trucks; these things are gourmet kitchens on wheels. They’re definitely worth seeking out when you’re ready for a gnosh. However, the main reason for going, according to my fellow bus-trippers, was to see flowers and trees in bloom. Well, GR, the order form for the exhibitors lists more than 81 different perennials, 23 different shrubs and standards, 10 deciduous trees and 11 evergreens, all in amazing quantities. This is the epitome of nursery skill and it wonders me just how good these people are with their ability to coax Mother Nature into getting out of bed so early in the season. The show runs until Monday, March 20 so there is plenty of time left for a fund and easy day trip. Driving there is simple (for me that means only a few turns) with lots of parking.

A water safety statement issued by Quinte Conservation last week will remain in effect until March 21, as the environmental agency continues to warn people about rising rivers, creeks and streams and snow melt. “While we don’t expect any flooding, we want the public to be aware of the safety concerns surrounding spring melt conditions,” says Water Resources Manager Christine McClure. “Over the next week we should experience a typical spring runoff with ponding of water in low lying areas and some nuisance flooding. We expect our river systems can handle the increased flows from the melt at this time.” Quinte Conservation staff will be monitoring conditions closely. The initial Water Safety Statement was issued on March 7. Quinte Conservation reminds residents to be extremely cautious about changing ice conditions. Ice conditions should be considered unsafe. Parents

and guardians are urged to keep children off the ice. Stream banks will be slippery and treacherous. Dams and other water control structures should be avoided at all times due to strong currents. Hypothermia is a real concern for anyone who falls into the water, even in a ditch or small creek. Residents should take care to monitor their sump pumps and ensure they are in good condition during this type of weather because of local ponding water. Quinte Conservation issues a Water Safety Statement such as this one when high river flows, unsafe banks, melting ice or other factors could make waterways dangerous for anglers, boaters, swimmers, children or pets. Quinte Conservation is a community-based environmental protection agency. It serves 18 municipalities in the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee and Salmon rivers and Prince Edward County.

The costs to provide emergency services in the Hastings-Quinte region is going up, owing largely to an increase in service calls over the past year. It’s another reminder that as the baby boom demographic ages, there will be an increased demand on health care services, including ambulance calls. Hastings/Quinte’s Emergency Services Committee approved a 2016 budget at its monthly meeting March 9. It comes with a request for a 4.87 per cent increase in spending. Net costs for emergency services for 2016 are listed at $7,523,674, up from $7,174,205 last year. Now that the committee has approved the budget, it must also be approved by Hastings County council. When that happens, the budget will be passed on and shared by Hastings County’s 14 member municipalities, plus Quinte West and Belleville. The budget was presented by Hastings County Emergency Management Services Director John O’Donnell and Hastings County Director of Finance Sue Horwood at the March 9 committee meeting. Horwood said that the number of ambulance calls received in 2015 was up 5 per cent from last year. The total number of calls in 2015 was 30,342, up from 28,900 in 2014. That factors into the increased budget for

2016. Also, service costs were up slightly, owing to the fact that 2016 is a leap year and there’s one extra day on the calendar. The costs for salaries in the EMS department in 2016 is $10,680,800, up from $10,375,000 in

2015. Both the leap year and a union agreement, which results in a 1.8 per cent pay increase to workers, contributed to that increase. The costs for medical supplies is also up slightly, to $388,000 from $384,000 last year. “If we’re doing more calls, we’re going to use more medical supplies,” Horwood said. Horwood also acknowledged that while this budget calls for an increase, another Hastings County joint committee, social services, approved a reduced budget. County number crunchers factored that in, when deciding to present this increased budget request. Hastings County Chief Administrative Officer Jim Pine also said that county departments collectively work together to ensure that budget requests are fair for partnering municipalities. “There’s no fluff in the budget,” he said.

Student jazz festival

This spring brings another opportunity for talented young jazz students across Eastern Ontario to try their skills out with the pros. The annual TD Jazz Education Program is part of the annual Prince Edward County Jazz Festival in August to promote jazz interest among students who are serious about their jazz music. This year, Blair Yarranton at Centennial Secondary school’s music department, reports some 75 young jazz fans from secondary schools in Whitby, Ottawa, Agincourt and Oshawa will gather on the weekend of April 15-17 at a deluxe Prince Edward resort to study and learn with some of Canada’s top jazz performers. Yarranton speaks for the TD Jazz Education Program. The students will also have an opportunity to show off their new skills in their own concert in The Regent Theatre, Picton. That concert is set for 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 17 when they will share the stage with the Brian Barlow Big Band. Barlow has been creative director of the Prince Edward County Jazz Festival for a number of years and is rated as one of the best drummers in Canada. Before the performance though, the young people will spend hours with Barlow and similar jazz stars as mentors, learning tricks of the trade. They will include Scott Alexander, (bass) Mark Ferguson I(trombone), Mike Francis (guitar) and Robi Botos, (keyboard.) For information on concert tickets, visit: www.pecjazz. org. Students jam prior to the 2015 PEC Jazz Festival with Brian Barlow of the Brian Barlow Big Band. Submitted photo

discuss how climate change can affect farming operations and adaptive practices farmers can use. Martin grew up on a beef and hog farm in Wallenstein, ON. After 4-H, his formal education includes, a B.A. and a M.Sc. in Biology from Carleton University and a Ph.D. in Plant Science from McGill University. In 2001, he founded the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada (www.oacc.info) to co-ordinate university research and education pertaining to organic systems, across Canada. In 2011, he was appointed as professor and the Loblaw Chair in Sustainable Food Production at the Ontario Agricultural College, University of Guelph. Plus, there will be presentations on: applying GIS analysis to identify highly erodible areas in fields, which will help with the adoption of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to keep soil on fields and out of local waterways. How soil testing can provide baseline nutrient levels and then help with setting target levels to save money on fertilizer, reduce phosphorus runoff, and optimize crop yields. A demonstration of the free OMAFRA AgriSuite, an online web application that helps determine the best ways to manage nutrients on the farm. The Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan will discuss the importance of

reducing phosphorus levels in local waterways and the Bay of Quinte. The Healthy Soils Program will show farmers how to implement a soil testing program on their farm and the importance of cover crops in phosphorus and erosion control. As well, there will be information on stewardship funding and technical support programs, to help

implement best management practices on the farm. This is a free event. However, participants are asked to register, so there will be accurate numbers for lunch. To register contact: Sarah Midlane-Jones, Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan 613-394-395-15 ext. 214 or smidlanejones@ bqrap.ca

OBITUARY

It is with sadness the family of Norma Hamilton announces her passing on February 23, 2016 at Carling View Manor in Ottawa just 6 months short of her 100th birthday. Norma was born in Smithfield Ontario on August 14, 1916, the second daughter to Corey Snider and Emma Pearce Snider. She lived at their Smithfield family home where she grew up with older sister Lenna and younger brother Ted. Younger sister Corrine died in her infancy during the great flu epidemic. Norma attended Brighton High School, where she graduated as class valedictorian in 1934. Norma worked briefly in Toronto during the early years of WWII; otherwise she lived her entire life and raised her family in the Brighton area until moving to a retirement home in Ottawa in December 2014 to be closer to her two sons Peter and Philip. Over the last few months her physical health had been failing and she slipped away peacefully in the early hours of Feb 23. She was fortunate enough to have maintained her sense of humour and cognitive skills to the very end. Norma was predeceased in 2002 by her husband of 58 years, Frank Hamilton, also by her dear older sister, Lenna Snider Baker in 2015 and her brother, Ted Snider in 2010. Norma was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by her 3 children, Peter of Ottawa (Lise Hamilton-Carriere), Philip of Chelsea, QC (Joanne Earle) and Nancy of Mission, BC (the late Joe Garneau) as well as 6 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild and numerous nieces and nephews spread across the country. Norma was well recognized and loved in the Brighton community and will be missed by all who had the privilege to know her. She worked for many years as secretary/office administrator for Doug Haig Plumbing and simultaneously ran the licensing bureau for the Department of Transport from that office. The members of the Snider family were well known in the Smithfield-Brighton area for their musical talents and her brother Ted’s voice was recognized for many years as the voice of Trenton radio. Sister Lenna was, of course, ‘Brighton’s piano teacher’ for some 75 years. Norma loved to play bridge and was a founding member of the ‘bridge club’, which survived in various forms for nearly 70 years. She was a member of Trinity St. Andrew’s church and was a stalwart of the church choir for decades, along with her sister Lenna who was well known as organist and choir leader. She will be remembered for her cheerful nature, her engaging smile, her quiet grace and dignity by everyone who knew her. A celebration of her life will be held in Brighton at the Trinity St. Andrew’s Church Hall on Sunday May 29 from 1-4 pm. All are welcome.
