“I know we can’t put them in a glass house and send them away,” Mayor Gerow said. He’s thrilled that the documents will be preserved in this way noting that in the first set of minutes are “very detailed” descriptions of the authorization to gather stone and prepare the building of the Stone Hall on Highway 7. “Not too many townships can go back to those first set of minutes,” he said. “This has been talked

News - Havelock - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen is taking steps to digitize and preserve some of the most “precious” documentary artefacts the municipality owns. Council has approved a plan to digitize 13 bylaw books and 20 sets of minute books from both the Village of Havelock and the Townships of Belmont and Methuen dating back to 1855. “Some of these documents are very precious,” Mayor Ron Gerow noted following a presentation by corporate services analyst Amber Dickinson that would have Image Advantage Solutions Inc. of Escott, Ontario, scan the documents into a PDF format, index them and store them on DVDs. The bylaw and minute books are currently located in the municipal office vault. Dickinson called them “vital records which hold significant value to the administration, financial, legal, operational and historical activities of the township.” Even though they are stored in a secure location they have only one copy of the bylaw and minute books prior to 1998, she said. “In case of disaster we have no backup copies.” Similar documents since amalgamation in 1998 are backed up on computers, Dickinson added. With the documents scanned and stored on DVDs it would reduce the need to handle hard copies of the books as well as reduce staff time spent searching for particular items, she said. The documents are accessed on a regular basis. The scanning project would cost $3,843. The very first set of minutes are in the vault as well as the very first set of 1854 bylaws from what was then called Asphodel, Belmont & Methuen which are included in an 150-page bylaw Belmont & Methuen bylaw book which covers 1855 to 1873 which is considered in poor condition. Another book, 210 pages long and covering 1896 to 1915 is also considered in poor condition. The first two bylaw books from the Village of Havelock (1900-1949 and 1949-1969) have paper that is in poor condition. The Belmont & Methuen minutes were handwritten through 1932 and are considered in deteriorating condition. The Village of Havelock minutes were hand written through 1971.

Two years ago the Friends purchased a fireplace for one reading area and this year they helped fund signage for the shelving as well aiding the new reading nook created in memory of library assistant Verna McDermott. It’s a “quiet place left for [Verna],” says Friends member Skye Morrison, a fibre artist, folklorist and long-time presenter with the TD summer reading program. “It depends on what the library’s FACTORY OUTLET STORE OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK! needs [are], their wish list,” Higgs says of Friends fund-raising objectives. s#HOC BULK The reorganization of the front OLATE # !

Hastings Library when she was nine years old and continued at the branch through high school and after college. “She’s been wonderful and of course great for the kids here,” says Higgs. One of the Friends’ primary goals is raising public awareness about the library. The branch is a busy and very inviting place and now, thanks to some interior reorganization, it’s more spacious with two special reading nooks both of which received support from the Friends. “Budgets are tight everywhere so

anything we can do for programming or actual materials the Friends are more than happy to do,” says Higgs. The group had a “very productive year” highlighted by an extremely wellattended author’s night featuring Lynn Phillip Hodgson, the author of the bestselling book Inside Camp X. They also hosted two book sales which did very well through free-will donations. “The author’s night was wonderfully attended and we’re already hard at work on the next one,” said Higgs. “We manage to outdo ourselves every year.

We started small, very local, and then went bigger and with better known authors.” Successive visits by acclaimed playwright and raconteur Drew Hayden Taylor and Governor-General’s Award winning novelist Jane Urquhart has put the Friends on the regional map as far as author’s events.

OPINION

Cuba: False dawn

Editorial - Here are four reasons why President Barack Obama’s decision last week to re-establish diplomatic relations with Cuba was a good idea. 1) The U.S. attempt to bring down the Castro regime by isolating the country economically and diplomatically is now 54 years old, and it still hasn’t worked. To go on doing the same thing and expect a different result next time is a clear indication of stupidity, and possibly of insanity. 2) President Obama, as a “lame duck” president with only two years to go, has nothing to lose by re-opening the American embassy in Havana and loosening travel restrictions on American citizens. He gets credit for being both bold and sensible, and he can do it by executive decision without having to go through Congress. 3) A quarter-century after the end of the Cold War, there is ample popular support in the United States for ending the long and absurd antiCommunist crusade against Cuba. According to an Atlantic Council poll early this year, 56 per cent of Americans now back a more direct U.S. engagement with the Castro regime, or even full normalisation of relations. Among HispanicAmericans, the number rises to 63 per cent. 4) Even in Florida, where the Cuban-American population is concentrated, the heat has gone out of the issue. The aging leaders of the community, who arrived as refugees from Cuba half a century ago, still resist closer U.S. relations with Cuba, but the U.S.-born generation wants to end the war. The same Atlantic Council poll showed that 79 per cent of voters of Cuban descent in Florida supported increased engagement or normalisation. Unfortunately, there are also two powerful reasons why Obama’s good idea is not really going to change things much. 1) The Republican Party now controls both Houses of Congress, and the embargo cannot be ended except by Congressional consent. That will not be forthcoming. 2) The brothers Castro are still in control of Cuba, and even if they were both swept away by some random illness, the only slightly younger Communist Party leadership will not make the kind of concessions that could force the

Republican leadership to change its position. In terms of maintaining the status quo, the U.S. Republicans and the Cuban Communists are “objective allies.” It makes political sense for Republicans to oppose Obama’s initiative: they have no interest in allowing him a victory that they have it within their power to thwart. Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida vowed that he would do “everything in my power” to keep the embargo in place—and also threatened to block the confirmation of a U.S. ambassador to Cuba and prevent funding for construction of a U.S. embassy in Havana. If this sounds petty, well, yes it is. But considering the attitude of Congressional Republicans towards the Obama administration over the past six years, massive obstructionism towards any future policy of Obama’s seems virtually guaranteed. The embargo will remain. As for President Raul Castro—elder brother Fidel, now officially retired, seems largely out of play—he has no intention of presiding over the end of Communism in Cuba. Cuba’s economy is in terrible shape, and it has recently been made much worse by the steep decline of the Venezuelan economy owing to the collapse of the oil price. Given how dependent Cuba has become on the generosity of the leftist Venezuelan regime, you might think that Castro would now be seeking economic salvation in the form of an improvement in U.S.-Cuban relations. You would be wrong. I have visited Cuba about every five years for the past three decades, usually as a journalist, but once, in the early 1990s, I took my entire family, including a baby and my elderly parentsin-law, so they could see what the last remaining Communist regime outside Asia looked like. The Soviet Union had just collapsed, ending the generous Soviet subsidies that had kept the Cuban regime afloat for decades. The place was a terrible mess, and people were truly desperate. There were early teenage prostitutes of both sexes working the streets, and my parents-in-law got mugged twice in one week in central Havana. On the second occasion, the senior officer at the local police station held my father-in-law (the victim) hostage, allegedly as a “witness” in need of medical attention, until I bribed him $100 to let him go. Cuba has been through worse economic crises than the current difficulties, and the regime survived. It did so because, unlike the European Communist regimes that fell in similar circumstances, nationalism works for the Cuban regime, not against it. Maybe some serious change will eventually come out of this initiative, but certainly not before the end of 2016.

I prefer a sleek and sensuous way to get around By Lewis Zandbergen Editorial - It might be a guy thing but I know there are lots of women who have the same craving men do. No, I’m not talking about “that.” I’m talking about a passion for four-wheeled elegance; yards of real chrome not plastic painted to look like chrome; grills that seemed to be rolling ads for dentists and fenders that had an almost sensuous appeal. I’m talking about a resurgence of popularity the quiet streamlined automobiles in which we tooled around the countryside in the late 1960s and 1970s are enjoying. Of course, buying these gems of the highway can set you back a pretty penny so usually it’s us oldsters who can afford them. Watching television shows like Counting Cars and Restoration Garage can go a long way to fuelling the desire to once again ride around in the iron our fathers variously cursed and praised. Okay maybe they weren’t always the epitome of luxury but almost everything in the older vehicles was real—no plastic—and they had style. I have to confess that when I had to give up my 1952 Plymouth Cranbrook a few years ago, I wasn’t very happy. However, I couldn’t have given it the attention it deserved living on a dusty country road north of Madoc. Although I’m definitely not the mechanic in our family, I’ve always had an affinity for the rolling steel common on the roads back in mid-twentieth century. There was comfort in the back of my parents’ 1938 Dodge sedan that couldn’t be matched. Of course it helped that in those carefree days we kids weren’t tangled in restrictive seat belts or child care seats. (Please don’t write saying they’re for our own safety; I know that.) I remember one trip we took west of Toronto to visit relatives back in 1958 or so. I seem to remember Dad stopping underneath the Burlington Skyway Bridge which was under construction at the time. In the early morning hours we were hustled from our warm beds into the back seat of the old Dodge; Dad and Mom had rigged up a platform of sorts to level the back seat for us so we could continue our night’s sleep. Yeah, that didn’t work at all. Those days a long car trip was still an event worthy of our undivided attention. That old Dodge met a rather ignominious

end; after sitting in our back yard and serving as a play structure for a while, the wreckers came, chopped it in half and dragged it away. Dad followed that Dodge up with a few more cars which would be considered classics today: a 1941 Dodge, an early 1950s Chevy “fastback,” a few more Dodges and a Plymouth or two. Although they in turn are considered collectible, they couldn’t compete with the sleek lines of the ’38. I’ve owned a few cars that are now out of my grasp … monetarily speaking. My first car was a 1959 Ford Galaxie 500 I bought for $300 around 1968; add a couple of zeros to that if you want to own a restored version. My second car and the car I’d most like to own again was a 1963 Plymouth Fury III convertible. It was a beauty, comfortable, with an unmistakable streamlined body style. Even after it was T-boned in Napanee and then restored it always ran like a clock. But real life stepped in and I had to give it up as well. I think I know where its bones lie buried but it’s way past my means to dig it up and restore it. Another car I owned was a Volkswagen beetle, the original not those wannabe bugs you buy now. It was cold in winter, hard to start if you’d forgotten to insert the dipstick heater the night before and even with all the air channels open was never truly comfortable; that being said, I’d love to own another, but again in good condition they demand a ridiculous price. Even if I do ever get lucky enough to be able to buy another, I’ll drive it only in the summer. I bemoan the number of those little machines that were turned into dune buggies. The absolute worst car I ever owned was a 1976 Dodge Aspen two-door I bought brand new. You could watch it rust as it sat in the driveway, the gas gauge never did work right because it was mounted in such a fashion as to be constantly abraded by road dust and dirt. Cute but a real lemon. As a matter of fact the Dodge Aspen and Plymouth Volaré very nearly bankrupted Chrysler; in 1978 they recalled almost every single car in that line for replacement of front fenders which had rusted out. Yeah, older and more streamlined would be my way to go; the disposable boxes on wheels we get now just don’t make the grade.

provincial funding, according to the press release. In the report it was noted that it costs at least twice as much to fund hospital beds than it does to fund a residential hospice bed. Right now, 12,000 people a year in Ontario would benefit from residential hospice care. “These people cannot stay at home and without residential hospice care will end up in hospital, needlessly, simply because they can’t stay at home and there is nowhere else for them to go. And that number will increase. We know that more capacity has to happen now to meet the immediate need and the imminent need,” stated Dr. Henderson.

that hospice palliative care is desirable, providing comfort at the end of life for patients and their families, and it is cost effective.” In a press release issued by Dr. Henderson on behalf of the board, he noted “the aging population is inevitably and rapidly escalating the number of people needing hospice palliative care in Ontario,” as they get the message out there that the need for care will only increase locally as well. The report stated there is a need for 755 to 1,080 hospice palliative care beds in Ontario. Right now, there are 289 beds in the province. There are about 20 hospices in various stages of planning, development and construction, which would add 200 beds throughout Ontario. Many of those hospices are awaiting

The sector says it will continue to work with the government to develop and implement a plan to expand access to care throughout the province. The Bridge Hospice is located at 137 Old Hastings Road, Warkworth. It’s the first residential hospice in Northumberland County and is a registered

charity created by people who believe that individuals at the end of life’s journey should have a choice about where to spend their final days.

Knitters stitch up successful year

By Bill Freeman

says group leader Sweetie Thall who received a Paul Harris Fellow Award from the Rotary Club of PeterboroughKawartha for her work with the group. She is quick to deflect the attention away from the award to the group. “I was very shocked when I got it. I accepted it on behalf of the group. Without them I wouldn’t be able to do this,” said Thall, who has been with the knitters for seven years. Joining the group was a way of becoming part of the community after moving to the Hastings area from Ottawa. Over the past year the Hastings Knitters made 1,086 garments just ten less than their 2013 total. The total surprises Thall because she doesn’t personally keep track of the group’s output. It is a clear indication that their weekly gatherings

News - Hastings - The Hastings Knitters usually let their fingers do the talking when it comes to accomplishments but with over 1,000 garments completed and dispersed in 2014 and a special Rotary honour given to the group’s leader, there’s reason to sing their praises. The modest group has been meeting at the Hastings Civic Centre Thursday afternoons for over a decade and continues to expand its reach with knitters travelling in from as far away as Belleville and Peterborough to be part of the social collective which now provides a variety of knitted wear to at least eight different organizations and causes, local, national and international. “It makes us feel good, especially at this time of year,”

R0013066201 R0013047696

Sweetie Thall, leader of the Hastings Knitters, is delighted that the group was able to produce 1,089 garments over the past year which were donated to no fewer than eight different organizations and causes. The group meets Thursdays from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Hastings Civic Centre. Photo: Bill Freeman

are productive materially and socially and that every piece of knitted gear they produce, from pneumonia vests to teddy bears, is appreciated and well used. “So many people are doing without and if we can help why not,” she says. “We enjoy what we do and we are always looking for donations of wool because without that wool we cannot do anything.” Thall says the wool donors also deserve some of the credit, that their support helps keep the group going. She retains her highest praise for her friends around the table. On any given Thursday the numbers can range from ten to 25 knitters. “They can come whenever they want and we’re happy to have them. They do beautiful work. We enjoy each other’s company; it’s a social event also. It’s wonderful. It makes you feel good.” The group has a “greater partnership” with Rotary, she says. “They’re like the Red Cross. Anything that happens, mudslides, tsunamis, earthquakes, they’re there.” She praised their work in postearthquake Haiti where Rotary International has built shelters, schools, donated supplies and funded teachers. “It’s wonderful type of work they do and we supply whatever. We try to help out as much as we can.” The group keeps in touch with knitters who move away and Thall delights in her continued long-distance friendship with the group’s founder Pauline Hartwig. “This is her baby.”

Grant programs make big projects possible says council News - Havelock - Grant programs like the Small Communities Fund (SCF) and the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) make it possible for small municipalities with limited financial resources to take on much-needed but big-ticket projects without hammering ratepayers with unthinkable tax levies. That’s what Havelock-BelmontMethuen councillors think when they approach the possibilities contained within their funding applications to both programs, each with slightly different criteria and mandatory municipal contributions. There’s no way HBM could pursue a project like water and sewer rehabilitation and related works on King Street, with a price tag of $2,037,236, without help from something like the SCF, says Deputymayor Jim Martin. If successful, the federal-provincial program will provide two-thirds funding ($1,368,157) while HBM would have to take on the one-third balance of $679,078. “We pretty well have to try to see if we are successful,� Martin said, supporting an official application for funding. Broken down, the municipality’s portion of the $396,864 water work is $132,288 with an equal amount

to be spent on sanitary sewers; the municipality would spend $44,096 on $88,192 worth of sidewalk work and $370,406 on the $1,111,219 road and storm sewer work. Director of Corporate Services and Treasurer Valerie Nesbitt has suggested a number of options for funding HBM’s portion combining Ontario Municipal Partnership Funding revenues with user rates for the water and sanitary sewer, the 2016 federal gas tax rebate for the road and storm sewers, taxation and area rates for sidewalks and road and sewer. Some of the engineering for the project was done in 2009, said Nesbitt. “These grant projects don’t come around every year and to have two is [fortunate],� Martin said. “It would be nice to take a chance. It’s so costly.� Councillor Barry Pomeroy said he wouldn’t “hazard a guess� on the municipality’s chances of getting funding from both programs. “It’s kind of scary,� he said of the costs of completing big projects like this in small municipalities. The other funding application to the OCIF is for $2,024,008 for a new water treatment storage facility (standpipe). “That is a must,� said Pomeroy. “If we get the other one [for King Street] that would be a plus.�

way to bring [financing sources] to you,� Nesbitt said. “There are many different options to allow tax revenues to be freed up for other projects [outside of the village ward]. “We’re very aware that the public wants to see it [spent] everywhere in the township.� Nesbitt says there’s additional OMPF money for other capital projects council wants to pursue in the township ward. “There are many, many needs and not just concentrated in the village. There will still be OMPF funds available in 2016 Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Deputy-mayor Jim Martin says the cost of depending on how you fund completing large and expensive projects in small municipalities is very difthis,� she added. ficult without the assistance of major infrastructure programs.

“Focus group� meetings on low school enrollment planned By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - It’s no secret that school enrollments are declining across the province, particularly in rural Ontario; what is concerning to parents and small communities is the prospect of a provincial government bent on saving money and moderating debt by asking the Ministry of Education to cut costs by $500 million, a ďŹ gure opposition critics revealed last month after getting its hands on an internal government document. That will be one of the subtexts of a series of “focus groupâ€? meetings hosted by the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board to look at low enrollment secondary schools including those in Norwood and Campbellford. Meetings will take place January 21 at Norwood District High School and Feb-

ruary 25 at Campbellford District Secondary School. The Community Friends of NDHS have taken note of the meetings and will prepare for them and Havelock-BelmontMethuen Mayor Ron Gerow says council has to be vigilant. “I think this is a serious, serious issue we’re going to have to deal with [and] we need to be a part of this,â€? Gerow told council. The “working meetingsâ€? will give the general public a chance to offer input and ask questions and KPR ofďŹ cials want to hear from high school students, parents, teachers, municipal ofďŹ cials, trustees, principals, local residents and feeder school supporters. The meetings are designed to “discuss ongoing challenges faced by the board’s

Low enrollment schools have less than 500 students. “Another serious challenge,â€? says the KPR, “is that as school enrollment decreases, the opportunity to offer students all the co-curricular and extra-curricular programs that are part of a robust secondary school experience also becomes very difďŹ cult.â€? The meetings will look at the innovative methods already being used at the board’s “small enrollmentâ€? schools to boost programming, things like e-learning and video-conferencing, two tools used very effectively at both NDHS and CDHS. Information gathered will be “used to help create the best programming opportunities possibleâ€? for high school students,â€? says the KPR.

“We know this consultation will be a valuable exercise in hearing thoughts on the best way to continue and support students.� Former Asphodel-Norwood Mayor Doug Pearcy is part of a province-wide Community School Alliance which has rallied support against the closing of schools in small towns and rural communities and is also a member of the Friends of NDHS group. Following an Alliance video-conference Pearcy said “the purpose is not to alarm anyone about pending school closures but to remind people that the process is ongoing and that we must be vigilant and alert to protect our schools.� Mayor Gerow feels the same way after hearing about the $500 million. “I think we need to be organized.�

“We’ve got to go for it,� councillor says of project grant bids

Common Mistakes when Buying and Selling #4 “I am wondering about listing my home privately�

Homeowners who choose to sell their house directly may do so for a variety of reasons. Doing so is a homeowner’s choice, but comes with implications that may be overlooked: s 3ELLING PRIVATELY EXPOSES HOMEOWNERS TO HIGHER RISK BY NOT BEING REPRESENTED BY a real estate professional. This can easily result in costly legal issues during or after the sale; s ! HOUSE LISTED PRIVATELY SIMPLY DOES NOT RECEIVE THE SAME EXPOSURE AS A LISTING through a Realtor. In a Buyer’s market such as ours, reaching more qualified buyers is critical for a successful sale; s 4HE TIME AND EFFORT NEEDED TO SHOW YOUR HOUSE DIRECTLY DETERMINE A SUITABLE asking price, negotiate the terms of sale, pay upfront for advertising fees, and ensure that all legal criteria are met can be significant and somewhat overwhelming; s 2ECENT STUDIES SHOW THAT OF 3ELLERS WHO SOLD PRIVATELY SAID THEY WOULD HIRE A REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL NEXT TIME AND A FURTHER SAID THEY WERE UNHAPPY WITH the results of their private sale.

smaller secondary schools as a result of declining enrollment,â€? the board says. “These schools face a number of challenges as a result of their low number of students and school staff,â€? says newly elected KPR chair Cathy Abraham. “The greatest difďŹ culty is the ability to offer a wide range of academic programs and course selections for our students.â€? Abraham says the focus group “consultationsâ€? will “explore the variety of methods these schools are already actively using to support programming for students and consider how these schools can be further supported in the future. “[The meetings] will also provide an opportunity to share local future enrollment trends as well as gather feedback and information from our stakeholders,â€?

News - Havelock - “I say we’ve got to go for it,â€? Councillor Barry Pomeroy said of a chance to secure provincial dollars to pay 90 per cent of the $2-million cost for a new treated water storage facility and other related water initiatives. The Township of HavelockBelmont-Methuen has advanced to the funding application stage of the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) for its standpipe project, a major and much-needed initiative that also includes an environmental assessment (EA), watermain and water service upgrades, a generator, reservoir piping modiďŹ cations, disinfection upgrades at well number three, programming, engineering and a contingency.

The OCIF will cover a maximum of 90 per cent of the project costs with a maximum provincial limit of $2 million. The total cost of the HBM project is $2,024,006; the province’s 90 per cent share would be $1,821,606 with the municipality taking on the ten per cent balance of $202,400. The previous council approved paying 50 per cent ($101,200) of that ten per cent balance using Ontario Municipal Partnership Funds (OMPF) revenue with the other 50 per cent to be covered through water system user rates. “This is a good deal, a $2 million project, and we get it for $101,000,� said Pomeroy. “It would be a good investment for the municipality; $2 million worth of work for $200,000.� The “important part of the

recommendationâ€? is that council conďŹ rm the funding of the municipal portion, director of corporate services-treasurer Valerie Nesbitt stressed to councillors. Nesbitt noted that the previous council did commit to undertaking a $45,000 environmental assessment “knowing the risksâ€? that the costs would be borne by the municipality and not funded. Council of the day agreed it would be funded through the water reserve, she said. An EA would establish all the criteria the municipality would need for siting a new standpipe ensuring the public “that we’re doing what we should be doing if we go through with the project,â€? said Nesbitt. The standpipe project could not move forward without the EA.

“We committed to the E.A. If the [grant bid] is successful it will be part of the application, Nesbitt added. Nesbitt told council it would be best to use 2015 OMPF revenue and not 2016. If they were to do that there would be “sufďŹ cient revenueâ€? for other municipal projects, she said. “You have other infrastructure needs other than the ones identiďŹ ed in this application.â€? In approving the OCIF application, council was conďŹ rming they were aware they would have to raise $101,200 with the balance coming from the OMPF. “We can come back to council and talk about other funding options,â€? Nesbitt said. “We need to go with this,â€? said Deputy-mayor Jim Martin.

continue on to full approval and at that time to start engaging those property owners that need to be compensated. They’ve already got their marching orders so it’s going to happen. “We need to move on and stop wasting taxpayers’ monies on reports and staff time and environmental assessments,� Macmillan continued. The process, begun in 2007, “has gone on long enough and needs to end, because it’s going to end anyway.� The mayor’s outburst was triggered by an annual report in the agenda from the municipality’s Heritage Advisory Committee whose preference is for a new bridge to be built alongside the existing structure in the downtown. The committee reiterated last May, before county council made its decision, its previous position that the Alma-Second location was “an inappropriate choice that will have a severe detrimental effect on the heritage character of an historic residential neighbourhood.� Macmillan said there’s another group working “in the background� to stop the project from going ahead. Later, during question period, the mayor said he had been told by the local MPP that a group of private citizens has

formed, whose intent, he said, is “to carry on dragging outâ€? the EA. “It’s time to move on,â€? he repeated, saying “there’s been well over a million dollars, the bulk of that in county money, that’s been spent on this project.â€? The environmental assessment was completed by the IBI Group whose own studies built upon work done by other consultants who were part of the process. Underscoring his contention the bridge’s opponents are waging a battle that will ultimately prove futile, Macmillan quoted famed theoretical physicist Albert Einstein who said the deďŹ nition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result.

IBI’s ďŹ nal report said the proposed Alma-Second bridge “provides the best transportation solution for the movement of people and goods across the Trent River in Campbellford for the very long term,â€? will open up access “to planned growth areas in south and east Campbellford over the next 40 to 50 years,â€? and does not require the removal of rental housing units located next to the existing bridge. It also diverts heavy truck trafďŹ c away from the business community and prevents congestion in the downtown. The disadvantages are the impacts it will have on the residential character of the two streets and heritage properties, and the noise that will be generated by trucks and increased trafďŹ c.

News - Trent Hills - Mayor Hector Macmillan has lashed out at foes of a new river crossing at Alma and Second streets, who have requested the Schedule “Câ€? Municipal Environmental Assessment (EA) be bumped up to the highest level to address concerns they have over its location. “They fought the good ďŹ ght, it’s time to move on,â€? he told council at its last regular meeting of 2014. “They must move on and get over it.â€? The Minister of the Environment has received several requests for a Part II order which, if granted, would delay approval of the $28-million project and require more study if attempts by Northumberland County to achieve a resolution through consultation or mediation failed. Macmillan said the bridge “is going to happenâ€? even though opponents are “still working on putting a little box in front of it, but the county is going to resolve each and every one of those Part II order requests. Even if it does get bumped up to a an individual EA, it will be going forward.â€? The mayor said county staff had been directed by the previous council “to

Although I am sad without you And wish that you were here, Within my hearts your pretty smile still shines bright and clear. For you brought endless sunshine until you went away. And now I miss you desperatley each minute of the day. Sometimes I see a photograph or hear a certain song and think of all our Nashville trips, Good times, such fun, only memories live on. You would not like to see me sad So what I try to do Is live a bright and happy life In memory of you. For though I’ll aways miss you, And its dreadful being apart. I haven’t really lost you, You’re still here in my heart. Love your sister Kelly & brother-in-law Bill

Gainforth, Douglas Harold February 18, 1958 to January 2, 2013

Softly the leaves of memory fall. Gently we gather and treasure them all. Unseen, unheard you are always near. So missed, so loved, so very dear. No longer in our lives to share. But in our hearts you’re always there. Lovingly missed by Harold, Edna and Linda

In loving memory of

Larry Bryden

who passed away December 28, 2011 If memories bring you closer we are never far apart Not a day will we forget you You’ll always be in our hearts Always remembered by Mom, brothers Morley & Steven, Sisters Kim & Kathy and families

St. Mary’s Elementary school students learned to curl

Sports - Campbellford - Rock, slider, hack, eight-ender, house, delivery, burning a rock, are all terms the Grade 8 class of students at St. Mary’s Elementary School learned this year as they learned how to curl. This was the third year for curling, which is part of the physical education curriculum at the school. The program is organized by their teacher Ashlea Fitzgerald.

“We normally begin in November and wrap up just before the Christmas holidays,â€? she said. “We do it because it gives the students an opportunity to learn a new sport outside of the school and maybe possibly get involved in curling,â€? she added. “From the first day that they come to the end, the skills they learn with something new and understanding the sport itself,â€? Fitzgerald said. “I would say the kids you least expect to shine in an athletic environment, are able to do this ‌ so pretty much anyone can do it, it’s nice to see that ‌ so a kid that maybe can’t do volleyball can do this,â€? she added. Twenty-four students, all in the same class, participated this time. “It puts everyone on an equal playing field because no one has usually played before so we’re all learning something from scratch and we’re hoping to get them interested in another winter activity to keep them active,â€? Fitzgerald said. There are exceptions as a few of the students in the class of 24 have curled before. Aylssa West is one of those students. She has curled for the past three years. “I have fun doing it,â€? she said while getting ready for their time on the ice. Both her parents, Michael and Nancy,

curl regularly and her brother Aidan, who is 11, curls sometimes too. “I curl with my friends and it’s a favourite thing to do with my family ‌ it’s family time,â€? she said. An active young girl, she also plays hockey with the Keene Wolverines. “I just like to curl,â€? she said. Tyler Webber, a fellow student had also curled before. “We did it last year when I was in Grade 7,â€? he noted. “I like to curl ‌ I was skip then,â€? he said. For classmate Emily Dudley, it was her first time learning the sport. “It’s not bad actually. I like sweeping ‌ curling is different,â€? she said. And none of this would be possible each year without the volunteer coaches, members of the Campbellford curling club, where this takes place. “We try to have four volunteers here each morning,â€? said Nan MacDougall, a curler herself and volunteer coach for the kids. She is president of the curling club. She was joined by Bev McComb, Carol Currelly-Burnham and, of course, Fitzgerald. “We start with how to slide out and throw a rock so we spend quite a bit of time on that.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

“So now we do a bit of practice and play a couple of ends so they are learning the strategy a little bit,� said MacDougall. A wrap-up social time was held before

the students finished just in time for the Christmas holidays. But MacDougall and the others are already looking forward to promoting curling again next year.

Trent Hills council will fight to ensure high school stays open News - Trent Hills - Council will fight any suggestion that Campbellford District High School (CDHS) be closed when the school board begins holding a series of focus group meetings to discuss challenges five of its secondary schools face as a result of declining enrollment. Councillor Cathy Redden urged council to begin making plans now for when Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board officials come to Campbellford February 25 to meet with municipal representatives, secondary school students, parents, and teachers and principals from CDHS and its elementary feeder schools. That meeting will be the last of five focus groups the board has scheduled for high schools across the region where low student numbers have become an issue; also under the microscope are Norwood, Lakefield, Port Hope and Clarke (near Newcastle). “The greatest difficulty is the ability of these schools to offer a wide range of academic programs and course selections for our students,” board chairperson Cathy Abraham said in a news release announcing the consultations, which will explore methods currently being used by small schools to support their programs. The consultations “will also provide an opportunity to share local future enrollment trends, as well as gather feedback and information from our stakeholders,” Abraham said. “What we need to do is step forward and make sure that we do whatever is necessary to preserve this high school and [that] the school board hears a strong message from this community,” Redden said. “We need to have our community engaged and not just count on our high school staff and principal to make the case of the importance of having those

young people in our community.” The high school is “a key component” in Campbellford, Redden said, and as important to its economic development and ability to attract business as the hospital and “a vital downtown.” It’s also an “income generator” for local businesses during lunch hour, she added. Redden warned a school accommodation review “can be a very contentious process” when it involves two close-knit communities, such as Campbellford and Norwood, being in competition to keep their schools open. The two should be looking at ways to increase the ways their schools work together, as they already do in the sharing of some resources, “but we also need to make sure that we’re not pitting one against the other,” Redden said. CDHS has about 515 students, Norwood District High School around 400. Redden is encouraged by reports of a “bump” in student numbers in the lower grades which “will translate into increased enrollment in the high school in a few years.” Council needs to send a message to the school board “that we’re not sitting back waiting for the report to come out, we want to be fully engaged and have our say,” Redden said. Mayor Hector Macmillan backed the councillor, although he said Trent Hills is “less apt to lose a high school” because of where it is and the logistics involved in busing so many students elsewhere. “Geographically our school is safe for that reason but I certainly would never want to become complacent,” he said. He instructed the clerk to find out “where do we get in line” for when the consultation process arrives in

Campbellford. Redden gave Norwood “kudos” for what the community there has done over the years to act as a champion for its high school. “Their message has never, ever stopped,” she said. “We also need to do the same thing, [and] take a page out of their book.”

Sports - Campbellford - As 2014 wound down, the Campbellford Rebels found themselves in a dogfight for second place in the Empire B Junior C Hockey League. The team held off the Amherstview Jets moving closer by defeating their rivals 7 3 December 20 at home to avenge a 5 - 3 loss six days earlier. But in the interim the Napanee Raiders slipped into a tie with the Rebels by winning three games in five days. Campbellford wasn’t able to break the tie December 21 as it dropped a 4 - 1 decision to the league-leading Port Hope Panthers. The home team scored three unanswered goals in the third period to secure the win. Port Hope outshot Campbellford 39-25 and scored twice on

seven power play opportunities. Josh Leavey broke a scoreless tie at 1:44 of the second for Campbellford’s lone goal. The offence had an easier time of it against Amherstview, with Colin Doyle and William Lameroux leading the way. Doyle notched a pair of goals and added two assists, while Lameroux scored a goal and assisted on three others. Jon Samis, Grant Fry, Corey Lasko, and Josh Leavey added one apiece. Cole Mahoney stopped 29 shots for his 13th win of the season. Campbellford was scheduled to play Port Hope after the paper went to press prior to the end of 2014 and resume play January 3 with a game at home against Deseronto. The game starts at 7:30 p.m. After that the Rebels have ten games remaining on the schedule before the regular season concludes February 10.

plans to build a health and wellness centre in town with an aquatics centre that “can play a big role” in providing programs of interest to the high school. The school board’s February 25 “working meeting” will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the high school but it will be open to the public who will be given an opportunity at the end to ask specific questions.

Pointing to the closure of high schools in Peterborough and Cobourg in recent years, Redden said the school board does “make tough decisions,” so council will need to make a strong case to prevent that from happening. Councillor Rosemary KelleherMacLennan said one argument in Campbellford’s favour is that Trent Hills
