Norwood Legion forges ahead with confidence: president By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood – It has not been an easy year for the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 300 in Norwood but president Doug Willoughby says he’s looking forward to the next six months. “We’ve come a long way,â€? Willoughby said during the branch’s annual New Year’s Day levee where it once again gave out $500 to ďŹ ve of Norwood’s churches and also received an unexpected donation of $2,000 from the Ladies Auxiliary, which will go towards the furnace replacement fund. The branch needs to replace furnaces and air conditioning units and will be working on fund raisers to help those infrastructure causes. “We’ve got a lot of work to do, it’s been an uphill battle but for the most part we’re keeping our heads above water. I have an excellent team helping me out so I’m really pleased with the way things are going,â€? Please see “Norwoodâ€? on page 6

Putting “smiles on faces� is at the heart of Smitty’s Wish By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock – The Smitty’s Wish goal has never wavered and as the New Year begins to unfold the team of volunteers and those who support the cause through donations can take a quiet bow. “The goal is to put smiles of kids’ faces and seniors at Christmas time,� volunteer Bruce Brett told the Independent during the team’s big delivery night. “Hope-

fully we can put some smiles out there.� Brett has had a first-hand view of the Smitty’s campaign since its start 13 years ago, a living legacy and tribute to the late Bob Smith who was the original Smitty Claus as he delivered toys and gifts to local families from the back of an all-terrain vehicle for over 20 years. The Smitty’s team also in-

cludes the distribution of food hampers and baskets to seniors. This year they provided gifts to 95 children aged six weeks to 14 years, delivered 40 food hampers and brought special gift baskets to 122 seniors. “It’s a great feeling,� Brett says. The current Smitty’s Wish program actually started at Smith’s funeral 13 years ago, says Brett.

News - Campbellford - Supporting wellness is a big part of what The Rotary Club of Campbellford does in this town and so one of the cheques donated at their year-end banquet was to the local hospital through the Flourish campaign. The $5,000 cheque was one of six presented that night, supporting a variety of community groups as well as Rotary International programs. The first donation was presented by President Marion Fennell to Catharine Holt, donor relations and communications for the hospital. Thanking the club, Holt noted that the $5,000 will be used toward the purchase of a bariatric stretcher for the emergency department. “We will have two at the hospital, one in the clinic spaces and one in emergency,� said Holt. The stretchers cost $11,000. The Royal Canadian Legion Ontario Command has donated $6,000 so the new stretcher has now been ordered and should be on site early 2015. The second cheque, also for $5,000, was presented by Past President Jim Ashman, to Mina Murphy, president of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation. “It was pretty clear to us that wellness in this community like wellness in any other community is a significant issue,� said Ashman. This is the first of five cheques the club wants to see go to the Foundation, each for $5,000 and each donated annually for a total of $25,000. “And so the club has asked future boards to look at a commitment of $5,000 over the next four years for wellness in the community and that mirrors what Flourish is all about,� said Ashman.

year in Campbellford hosting an event for around 40 seniors at Captain George’s Restaurant. Smith’s wife Norma now lives in Campbellford but remains an active part of the group and wanted to organize a local event for seniors. People never forget Santa’s visit or the gifts they receive from Smitty’s Wish. Brett met one man this year while delivering hampers who had never been on the list. He was “just so appreciative,� he said. “He must have thanked me eight times and even had a little bag of colouring books to deliver to the cause. Some of the recipients are coming to help us pack food baskets and wrap presents. People are giving back. It’s great to see. Unfortunately the list does get bigger and bigger each year. Hopefully down the road there will be no need for this (but) I don’t think we’ll ever see the end of it.� The smiles remain a constant, the reward in knowing they’ve made a small difference in someone’s life and provided a moment of uplift. “We see it everywhere we go, there’s a little glimmer there,� said Brett.

Rotary Club celebrates its role

SOMEONE YOU CAN TRUST.

The funeral was on November 20 and Brett remembers being approached by Bobby LaRush and Shelley Miles who told him they had to “carry this on.� Brett agreed wholeheartedly and thought they could begin the following Christmas. Miles and LaRush felt they could do it that year. And they did. With an eight-member committee leading the charge they raised $7,200 in 12 days and in that first year looked after 111 seniors and 98 children. “It’s gotten bigger from there. It’s great that this thing has grown the way it has,� says Brett. “We do all the food hampers for the area and the Salvation Army doesn’t come into town anymore.� There is “an abundance of volunteers� and a massive show of support from donors, individuals, service clubs and businesses large and small. “It’s come a long way,� Brett says. While people are busy packing hampers, another team is cutting paper, snipping ribbons and wrapping presents in the North Pole. The Smitty’s team also did a bit of outreach this

Thanking the club for the donation Murphy said, “We really appreciate this ‌ Rotarians have always been leaders in this community in community wellness.â€? The third cheque, for $1,000, was donated to the Kent Street Public School breakfast program. Dave Lane, who is affiliated with Christ Church where the breakfasts are held, co-ordinates the program. “The breakfast club has been going on for a number of years with about 40 kids a day ‌ We’ve been averaging 65 kids a day for the past ten weeks which is an increase of 25 children a day,â€? he said noting how much the money is needed. Sandy Philp, who is on the school’s parent council as a community representative thanked the club too. “It’s very hard to motivate a student when they have no fuel,â€? she said. “The breakfast program is also a very social thing for the children ‌ when you see them at the tables interacting you can say, ‘Hey there’s something going on here that is really positive.’â€? The fourth cheque, for $4,000, was presented to Westben by Steve Sharpe. “It’s a pleasure for me to recognize a partnership Sharpe’s and Westben have been involved in for 15 years,â€? said Sharpe of Sharpe’s Food Market. “The community is well served with international wonderful talent but more than that Westben also provides educational opportunities for our kids ‌ the community is a hotbed for growing talent.â€? The club also announced a donation of $2,500 to Shelter Box Canada run by Rotary International and $2,000 to Rotary International Polio Plus.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, There was a time in our world when telling the truth was expected. It was looked upon as being ethical, trustworthy, honest and respectable. Today, TV ads, focused on young people appear to imply it’s ok to stretch the truth, to lie to avoid consequences. It’s a message that’s rampant throughout our society; since 2003 we’ve had an iconic example of this trend with the Liberal government in Ontario. Their mantra seems to be, “Lie even when the truth will do.� Their scandals and lies are unprecedented in Ontario

Liberals and lies

politics. There have been 30 scandals under the Lib’s watch in the past 11 years and they’ve lied about them all. The most recent is the smart meter ďŹ asco ‌ almost $1 billion over cost; the obscene costs and corruption of the Pan Am games, MaRS, and now the nasty little back room dealing in Sudbury. As this group has a majority, we will continue to be subjected to more of the same, even though Miss Wynn ails her arms around and decries any wrongdoing in the past or future. A few mouths need to be washed with a soap solution.

The nasty outcome of the 2014 election is that the majority of the Liberal’s votes came from the GTA. Look at the map. The Liberals have very few seats East, North or West of the GTA. This part of the province is blue with a bit of orange. So where is our representation? Those politicians representing the blue and orange and speaking to our concerns will do their best, but with a Liberal majority, who will listen? Just leave the constituents outside of the GTA to suffer, take their tax dollars of course; leave our local hospitals in ridiculous deďŹ cit mode while we pay transport for athletes travelling to the Pan Am games from around the world so the folks in the GTA can be entertained. Funding the Liberal’s indiscretions has cost us all. For sure there is a carbon tax coming down the pipe this year.

The Liberal’s biggest concern is being re-elected every four years; they will certainly reward those who put them in power. Those in the GTA. We have seniors, children, students and the working poor suffering in rural Ontario, all because of Liberal policies and poor decisions. Ask a rural homeowner or farmer about their Hydro bill. The provincial debt is $22,550 for each man, woman and child. This debt will be passed on to our children and their children. Our premier is part of the McGuinty legacy. A leopard does not change his/ her spots. I recall farmers, tractors and boots on the ground at Queen’s Park ten years ago in 2005. Perhaps it’s time for another rural revolution. Shelby J. Lawrence, Stirling/Rawdon

Kenny tried to get that message across at the Legion’s New Year’s Day levee attended by up to 75 people. Visitors included new member of Trent Hills council Ken Tully. “As much as we can, we’re going to try to get more activities into our hall,� he said. “We have the seniors up there now once a week, plus they have a card session once a week, and the Cancer Society uses the hall ... we donate the hall a fair bit.� Kenny said the Legion injected about $12,000 into the community last year, and it will be trying to do the same thing in 2015. Recipients included Bridge Hospice, Campbellford Memorial Hospital, the skatepark, baseball program, army cadets, and the Warkworth Medical Centre. The cost of membership isn’t very much, just $45. Anyone who is a Canadian citizen and 18 years of age can join.

Stop complaining Dear Editor, I have I been patiently listening to the group of people that do not want the proposed bridge and location to go ahead. Frankly, enough is enough! There is a need for a bridge to be built. The reasons have been established. I strongly agree! There are many people, most people in Campbellford, that want this proposed project to go ahead. The meetings in the past have been a platform for the opponents and they had a say and have been vocal. However, the group and opposition is few and dwindling and if you noticed, most of the town wasn’t there. Realistically, the absent attendees are the pro bridge group and we are many! The Second St. group led by a few relentless people have put up several good issues that

have been considered and taken under advisement. Thank you very much. This is not a competition and the best option and details are in place to make the new bridge project happen. As a Campbellford resident and a person that absolutely supports this proposed project, please let go of this battle. Your group is starting to look silly and you’re wasting our time and money. Now if you want to make this a private matter and get a lawyer and pay for the expenses, be my guest. Otherwise, please don’t waste our time, our money and move on; it’s part of your responsibility to help make this happen! Sincerely, Tom Terentiew, Campbellford

Willoughby said. “You’re only as good as the people you surround yourself with; I’ve surrounded myself with some good people and they are willing to bring this branch forward.â€? Willoughby has served prior terms as Branch 300 president and relished a chance to greet the public during the levee. Hosting the levee reafďŹ rms the signiďŹ cant role the branch plays in the community, he said. The levee gives people a chance to drop into the branch and “see some of our accomplishments,â€? Willoughby said. “We are a community organization and we are looking forward to working with all organizations developing partnerships and working on different things within the community.â€? Willoughby would like to see the membership grow and to make sure the branch is on an “even keel going forward.

“It’s going to take a bit of time but it’s certainly workable and these people (executive) are willing to step up to the plate and help out.â€? Ladies Auxiliary president Dorthy Fallis was pleased they were able to give the branch a boost at a vulnerable time. The Ladies Auxiliary continues to run Sunday night bingos and Fallis says they are doing “very wellâ€? with that venture. The Auxiliary is a “big part of the branch,â€? says Fallis, and the productive bingo account helped ďŹ nance the furnace donation. Branch 300 is close to Fallis’ heart and she characterizes the historic building as a “community centre.â€? “When you come to events like the levee you meet people who aren’t members but who still participate in the things we do.â€?

OPINION

The “Oil War”

Editorial - “Did you know there’s an oil war? And the war has an objective: to destroy Russia,” said Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a live television speech last week. “It’s a strategically planned war … also aimed at Venezuela, to try and destroy our revolution and cause an economic collapse.” It’s Gwynne Dyer the United States that has started the war, Maduro said, and its strategy was to flood the market with shale oil and collapse the price. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin agrees. “We all see the lowering of oil prices,” he said recently. “There’s lots of talk about what’s causing it. Could it be an agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia to punish Iran and affect the economies of Russia and Venezuela? It could.” The evil Americans are at it again. They’re fiendishly clever, you know. We are hearing this kind of talk a lot these days, especially from countries that have been hit hard by the crash in the oil price. Last Thursday Brent crude hit $55 per barrel, precisely half the price it was selling for last June. The Obama administration’s announcement last week that it is preparing to allow the export of some US oil to foreign markets may send it even lower. (US crude oil exports have been banned since 1973.) When the oil price collapses, countries that depend very heavily on oil exports to make ends meet are obviously going to get hurt. President Putin, who has let Russia get itself into a position where more than half its budget revenue comes from oil and gas sales (some estimates go as high as 80 percent) is in deep trouble: the value of the rouble has halved, and the economy has already slipped into recession. Venezuela, where government spending is certainly more than 50 percent dependent on oil exports, is in even deeper trouble – and, like Putin in Russia, President Maduro of Venezuela sees this as the result of an American plot. Various commentators in the West have taken up the chorus, and the conspiracy theory is taking root all over the developing world. So let us consider whether there really is an “oil war”. The accusation is that the United States is deliberately “flooding the market” with shale oil, that is, with oil that has only become available because of the fracking techniques that have become widespread, especially in the US, over the past decade. Moreover, Washington is doing this for political purposes, not just because it makes economic sense for the United States to behave

like this. In order to believe this conspiracy theory, however, you really have to think that a rational US government, acting in its own best economic interests, would do the opposite: suppress the fracking techniques and keep American oil production low, in order to keep its imports up and the oil price high. But why on earth would it want to do that? You will note that I am going along with the notion that all important business decisions in the United States are ultimately made by the US government. That is ridiculous, of course, but we don’t need to refute this delusion in order to settle the question at hand, so let it pass. Hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) as a means of recovering gas and oil, particularly from shale formations, has its roots in early attempts dating back as far as 1947, but it was the development of cheap and reliable techniques for horizontal drilling in the late 1980s that slowly began to transform the US oil industry. By 2012, over a million fracking operations had been performed in US wells – but in 2012, last year’s events in Ukraine were unforeseen and the United States and Russia were still on relatively good terms. Many oil-exporting countries were worried by the prospect that rising US oil and gas production would shrink American imports and thereby cut their own profits, but it was still seen as a supply-and-demand problem, not a strategic manoeuvre. The operators wanted to make a profit, and Washington liked the idea that rising US domestic oil production might end the country’s dependence on imported oil from unstable places so much that it gave tax breaks and even some direct subsidies to the companies developing the fracking techniques. But that’s no more than what any other government of an oil-producing country would have done. So did the US develop fracking to hurt its enemies? The dates just don’t work for Russia: fracking was already making US production soar years before Washington started to see Moscow as an enemy. As for Venezuela, it continues to be the fourth-largest exporter of oil to the United States, at a time when the glut of oil on the market would let Washington cut Venezuela out of the supply chain entirely. And Barack Obama is not opening the floodgates for massive American oil exports that will make the oil price fall even lower. The US still imports a lot of oil, and will go on doing so for years. He has only authorised the export of a particular kind of ultra-light oil that is in over-supply on the domestic market: only about one million barrels of it, with actual exports not starting until next August. If this is a conspiracy, it’s a remarkably slowmoving one.

If you loved the 2014 elections, guess what’s next By Stephen Petrick Editorial – As we say hello to 2015, let’s recap some of the highlights of 2014. In January, something we don’t remember happened. In February and March nothing happened because there was too much snow. In the summer we were drunk and the rest of the year we spent mourning the end of summer. I’m making a mockery of these year-in-review stories, because I’m going to let you in on a secret. Media organizations do them to fill space or airwaves during the holiday period when there’s no news going on and no reporters want to do real reporting. I wonder if the concept of a new year was started by the media. Don’t most of us think of September as the start of a new year, anyway? All kidding aside, year-in-review stories are sometimes interesting and I’m going to recap a couple things that happened in the 2014 for the sake of introducing what we expect to be a big story in 2015. We had two elections, a provincial one in June and a municipal one in October. They set the stage for what should be an interesting federal election sometime in 2015. Yes, you’re probably sick of elections and statistics show that roughly one out of every two of you didn’t bother voting at the end of the two 2014 circuses. But elections are now bunched together closely now, so that administrations on all three levels can work in unison for the bulk of the terms. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected to call an election sometime soon, although we’re not sure exactly when. Voters in Belleville, Quinte West and Prince Edward County will have an opportunity to vote in a new federal riding, known as Bay of Quinte. Former Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis will represent the Liberals while former Belleville city councillor Jodie Jenkins will represent the Harper-led Conservatives. If people voted in federal elections on the strength of candidates’ experience alone, Ellis would win it hands down. He’s got two terms as a mayor under his belt, compared to Jenkins’ one term on city council. But Canadians tend to vote for party leaders, as opposed to local candidates and this whole region is already Tory blue. Belleville and Prince Edward County are currently represented by the Conservative’s Daryl Kramp and Quinte West-Northumberland is represented by the Conservative’s Rick

Norlock. The NDP and Greens haven’t publicly announced candidates yet but they’re an afterthought in this riding anyway. It’s clearly Jenkins’ to lose. If you love the drama of elections, this should have some. Ellis and Jenkins didn’t exactly get along well during the last four years on council and had one famous sparring match during a budget session last April. And believe me, each have people in their corner who are already besmirching the other in conversations around town. As for Kramp, he plans on running in the new Hastings Lennox & Addington riding, a good decision for him considering his roots in Hastings County and his long-time involvement in organizations there. He’ll be up against the Liberals Mike Bossio, who I used to speak to regularly when I worked in Napanee and he was a spokesperson for a group opposing the expansion of the Richmond Landfill. Both are likeable guys, but it says here that Kramp wins this one in a landslide. I know he’s already trying to win over voters in Lennox & Addington because I’ve seen his name in a few press releases related to funding announcements in Napanee. I’m not sure if that’s appropriate, because he doesn’t represent that area yet, but, hey, you can’t blame him for trying. Two other new ridings make up our readership area. The riding of Northumberland-Peterborough South will include the communities of Brighton and most of Trent Hills. HavelockBelmont Methuen residents will vote in the new riding of Peterborough-Kwartha. The rejigging of these ridings could make for some wide open races, with new candidates. I don’t like making predictions in the newspaper because you end up looking like an idiot if you’re wrong, but, then again, no one like a fence sitter so I’ll make one here. Stephen Harper and the Conservatives will get a majority government in 2015. I’m sorry Justin Trudeau fans, but the young Liberal leader isn’t ready yet. And how could Thomas Mulcair ever exceed the faith that the late Jack Layton earned in 2011 for the NDP? But even if this one’s predictable, we can still enjoy the name-calling, the mud-slinging and the twisting of facts that all elections bring. If you liked the 2014 elections, you’ll love 2015.

Province says more work needed to complete bridge study By John Campbell

News - Northumberland – The province has told Northumberland County its Environmental Study Report (ESR) on a new river crossing in Campbellford needs more work because it contains a number of “deficiencies.” Agatha Garcia-Wright, director of the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change’s environmental assessment and approvals branch, spelled out where the county came up short with its proposal to build a bridge between Alma and Second streets in a letter to the county’s director of transportation and waste management Mo Pannu December 19. Garcia-Wright said both the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport have “outstanding concerns” that need to be addressed in order for the ESR to be considered complete and in compliance with the requirements of a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. She advised the county to consult with the Mohawks “and other potentially affected

or interested Aboriginal communities to gain information relating to traditional land and water use and potential impacts to Aboriginal or treaty rights,” and to consult with the ministry of culture in order to complete a Stage 2 Archaeological Assessment “to identify and protect heritage properties.” Northumberland then must “include mitigation and impact management measures in the ESR,” Garcia-Wright said. Although the ministry’s order would seem to be a setback, given the length of time and amount of money spent to date on the project – seven years and hundreds of thousands of dollars - Pannu said in an email January 5 that requests for additional information by the environment ministry “are not uncommon or unanticipated in the EA process, especially for complex projects such as this.” The review process “is collaborative,” with the ministry and county working together to ensure the EA is as “thorough as possible.” Pannu said the extra work

required “will not largely impact the timelines for delivery of this project,” as there is “room built into [them] to accommodate this feedback process.” Foes of the proposed SecondAlma bridge were, as Frank Street resident Brenda Kotras put it, “delighted” with the ministry’s decision because it shows the environmental assessment “was not completed properly.” She has opposed the project on a number of grounds, including the impact it could have on her heritage neighbourhood, in generating noise and air pollution as well as “destroying” properties, and what it “will do to Campbellford,” by redirecting traffic away from the downtown business community. Alan Appleby saw the ministry’s demand for more consultation as vindication for concerns he and others have brought forward that not enough was being done to address issues they raised. “That’s twice now that the process has had to stop and go backward, because the Continued on page 9

consultants, and I guess [county] staff perhaps, haven’t been doing their job,” he said. The first consultants on the project, AECOM, recommended in 2009 that Second and Alma be the site for a new bridge, but the county decided further consideration be given to building a new span where the current structure is located. Three more consulting firms followed, including IBI Group which prepared the Environmental Study Report that was submitted to the province last summer. Kotras and Appleby stressed that the objections they and others raised in filing requests for Part II orders to have the environmental assessment bumped up to a higher level were not responsible for the ministry demanding the county do more to complete the study. “We have nothing to do with dragging this out, this has nothing to do with any of the people who are not in support of a bridge at Second and Alma,” Kotras said. “It has to do with work that they [the county and its consultants] did was incomplete.” “It’s got nothing to do with us, it’s got to do with a consultant who didn’t make sure that its work was properly done and staff who didn’t provide the necessary oversight,” Appleby said. The ministry’s decision “was really based on the fact that the Environmental Study Report did not meet the requirements of the Act.” Dawnett Allen, a project evaluator with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, said in an email sent to Pannu December 24 that Part II Order requests “will not be given further consideration because the project is not yet considered complete. Once the County has completed the additional studies, it will be required to revise its project documents, [and] post a new Notice of Completion.” Those still having “outstanding concerns” with the amended study will be able to submit revised requests, during a 30-day public review and comment period. “I think everybody would rather just have this thing over and decided but there is a legal process, there is a law in place and the law has to be met,” Appleby said. “It’s a complicated process, there’s no question about it ... [but the county and its consultants are] going to have to do it properly to get the approval that they need to move forward.”

Nutrition and aging go hand in hand

Nutrition is important for people of all ages, but it’s especially important for men and women over the age of 50, who can dramatically improve their quality of life by eating a well-balanced diet filled with vitamins and nutrients. Though that may seem like common sense, research has shown that men and women in this age group, who are often referred to as “Baby Boomers,” are not necessarily as healthy as they may seem. While the baby boomer generation, which is generally regarded as those people born between 1946 and 1964, boasts longer life expectancies than any generation that came before them, some of that can likely be

low-fat protein, which can be found in fish, eggs and low-fat dairy among other foods, will aid in muscle recovery. A diet lacking in sufficient protein can contribute to muscle deterioration, arthritis and even organ failure, so it’s important for men and women to prioritize including protein in their diets. Carbohydrates are also an important part of a balanced diet, as they are a great source of energy that can help men and women stay active well past the age of 50. Carbohydrates found in fruits, grains and vegetables are the most beneficial, as these contain valuable vitamins, minerals and nutrients. • Don’t denounce dairy. Dairy is a great source of calcium, which promotes strong bones and teeth. Men and women over the age of 50 want their bones to be as strong as possible because aging is one of the strongest risk factors for osteoporosis, a potentially debilitating medical condition in which loss of tissue causes bones to become brittle and fragile. Vitamin D is necessary to effectively absorb calcium, and vitamin D can be found in certain dairy products, including pastureraised eggs and grass-fed cow’s milk, and

can be generated when men and women get enough sunlight. Other healthy sources of vitamin D include salmon, light tuna packed in oil, sardines, and sun-grown mushrooms. • Cut back on sodium intake. Cutting back on sodium intake can be very beneficial, especially for men and women over the age of 50, who are at greater risk of diabetes, hypertension and chronic kidney disease. But cutting back on sodium intake takes more than just throwing the salt shaker away. Processed foods, soups, canned goods, salad dressings, condiments such as mustard and ketchup, and breakfast cereals are just a few of the many products that may contain alarming amounts of sodium. That’s important to note, as excess sodium increases blood pressure by holding excess fluid in the body which puts an added burden on the heart, potentially increasing a person’s risk of stroke, heart failure, osteoporosis, cancer, and kidney disease. The problem with cutting back on sodium is that salt is so often relied on to make foods taste better, and many people find saltfree foods bland. But the rewards of reducing sodium intake are so significant that it’s worth making the adjustment.

chalked up to advancements in medical care, including a booming pharmaceutical industry that seemingly has an antidote to every ailment. But a 2013 study from researchers at the West Virginia University School of Medicine found that baby boomers are less healthy than the generation that immediately preceded them, tending to be more likely to have higher levels of hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol. The following are a few ways men and women over 50 can alter their diets so their bodies are getting what they need to live long and healthy lives well into their golden years. As is always the case, men and women should discuss any potential changes to their diets with their physicians to ensure the changes will be both effective and healthy. • Balance your diet. When changing your diet, be sure to include plenty of protein and carbohydrates. Protein maintains and rebuilds muscles, which is especially important for aging men and women who might find themselves unable to keep up with the physical demands of everyday life as well as they used to.

News - Havelock – The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 389 in Havelock-BelmontMethuen is “very optimistic” heading into a new year. “We’re getting on our feet again and the executive has been working together great,” first vice president Joe Phillip said during the branch’s annual honours and awards gala on January 1. The branch traditionally combines its honours and awards ceremony

with a New Year’s Day levee as a double celebration. “We had a good year this past year. We had our ups and downs (but) I’m very optimistic,” said Phillips, a veteran and 40-year member. Phillips, like Branch 389 President Marg Savoie, would like to add younger members to the Branch 389 roll and would also like to see younger members involved in more of the branch’s activities rather than just those of their

generation. People need to realize how important Branch 389 is to the community, said Phillips. Finding ways to encourage younger members to sign on remains an ongoing goal for the branch’s executive. That being said, Phillips is “feeling very good about the year ahead. “We’ve got a good team, a good executive all working together; everything’s getting done at the branch.” Savoie was buoyed by the fact that they signed up a new member at the January 1 levee and have six applications pending. “We’re slowly getting there,” said Phillips. “We’ve just got to make people feel welcome. It’s not regimental.” The branch decided not to hand out a Legionnaire of the Year award as part of this year’s ceremony opting instead to honour six members who have each contributed significantly to Branch 389 over the years. “We just can’t recognize one person. It’s not fair,” said Savoie, noting that the group they honoured are selfless in their support of branch

activities and deserve to be recognized collectively Receiving awards were: Certificates of appreciation: Joe Phillips, Sandy Peters, Bob Morrison, Bill Laurie, Neil Johnston, Don Martin Ordinary members: 45 years, Ken Riley; 40 years, Joe Phillips, Bob Callow, R. Valette; 35 years, Donald Drennan; 30 years, Bruce Pollock; 20 years, Marc Aalbers.

Hastings levee a proud Legion tradition

By Bill Freeman

News - Hastings – Hastings Legion president Bob Crate remembers tagging along with his father Fred to Branch 106 New Year’s Day levees when he was a young boy and is thrilled that the tradition continues vibrantly at the

corner of Front and Bridge Streets. “It was a little more formal back then,” Crate admitted, but the prevailing sense of camaraderie, fellowship and well-wishing remains as strong today as it was in 1950s.

going. It seems if you get something going upstairs people will come. Part of that is trying to get the kitchen more involved in things (like) banquets.” The branch’s membership is “healthy” and Crate says they always aim to replace about ten per cent of its membership each year. In the past two months Crate has initiated 15 new members. They’re also reaping benefits from the village’s new subdivision development with membership transfers from other branches as well as brand new members, he added. Branch 106 has always been a community hub and Crate says that is something he feels strongly about. “I think people will be surprised at how much we do,” he said. “If anything happens in the municipality, we’re involved in it somehow. We get involved in everything.” He cited physician retention in Trent Hills as an example. “We try to make sure we’re a part of it. It’s really good volunteers. We just have to be thankful they’re there because we couldn’t do it without them.” Youth participation is a high priority as well through youth education and a strong partnership with Hastings Public School and Campbellford District High. “We appreciate what the school does on Remembrance Day bringing

the students down. We also Those young volunteers have a number of kids from could become future leaders the school who volunteer at within the branch, Crate functions.” added.

As Branch 106 president, Crate enjoys acting as a levee host welcoming visitors to the Legion, which has become one of the best spots around to watch the NHL’s New Year’s Day Winter Classic game. “We have people who drop in who are members but just don’t come to the branch very often but they like to come on January 1,” he said. “It’s also nice to meet new people.” Crate was pleased with the branch’s successes in 2014 and shared the membership’s excitement in receiving a $44,700 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant that allowed them to repair the building’s roof and get new windows for the upstairs hall. The roof repairs have been completed; the windows will be installed when weather permits. “We’re doing well,” he said. “We had a pretty good year (and) seem to be doing okay financially; we could always do better. We were very fortunate to get the grant. All in all, the branch is in good shape and we still have money in the bank. I’m quite happy.” The branch is always looking for new ways to draw events to the branch “that will bring people here,” Crate says. “We need to get more of those things

there is a need for food, all year long.â€? And she wants to be sure to thank those who do support the Pantry. “Thanks for the support we get from the community and from the churches, all are big supporters. It’s almost getting to the point you’re hoping you don’t forget to thank somebody when you do an interview like this,â€? she explained. Not A Black Tie Lunch will be held Saturday, January 17 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Church in the Gathering Place. To join the other chefs with a team or to volunteer in the kitchen please call Covert at 705-924-9008. The Pantry is open every Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to serve those who find themselves in need.Â

vincial governments that requires municipalities to chip in one-third of the costs. An estimated $1.69-million reconstruction of Robert Road and Murray Street made it through to the final application phase of the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF), a provincial initiative that will fund a maximum of 90 per

cent of project costs up to $2 million. Asphodel-Norwood will apply for $1,522,820 in OCIF funding with the municipality picking up the ten per cent balance of $169,202. The township also moves on to the funding application stage of the joint provincial-federal Small Communities Fund (SCF) targeting a $1,016,148 reverse osmosis system

for the water treatment plant to help soften the water by reducing calcium levels. Asphodel-Norwood will have to pay one-third of the cost, or $338,716, if successful with the province and federal governments sharing two-thirds of the costs, $677,432. The Robert Road-Murray Road project is no stranger to pre-screening bids having been rejected by the province under the Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative (MIII). The project is a watermain, sewer and road proposal; properties on Murray Street are not connected to the village’s sewer system. The OCIF will support projects like the revitalization and repair of roads, bridges, and water and wastewater systems in small, rural and northern communities. The previous council was told that there were not many Asphodel-Norwood projects that would qualify for OCIF funding under its criteria. Road reconstruction was “off the table� because of the 3,000 vehicle per day requirement. The Robert Road-Murray Street project did meet water and wastewater project criteria and was admitted to the application stage. Council doesn’t have to

decide now how the municipal portion of the costs will be funded but has to confirm it knows it’s on the hook for those costs, deputy-treasurer Candace White explained to councillors. For the Robert Road-Murray Street (OCIF) project, White suggested that a percentage of the municipal portion could be funded from the Norwood waste and wastewater rates and reserves as well as from the Asphodel-Norwood taxation levy reserves. For the reverse osmosis (SCF) application the municipal portion could be funded from system user rates-reserves, the Asphodel-Norwood taxation levy/reserves or a combination of those funding tools, White said. The Robert Road initiative would not take place until at least 2016 because the township is gearing up right now for a major project on Spring Street. “It’s probably not in our best interest to wait until 2016� for the reverse osmosis project, she added. White confirmed that Pine Street is not included in the OCIF application but that there is a contingency built into the funding that could be used for work there.

In the past 60 to 70 people have attended. Covert is hoping to raise $1,000 this year. “As we head into January and February it is usually a down time for donations so this event is very important to us,� she commented.

out in a typical five-day supply,� noted Gail Covert, chair of the 7 Hills Community Pantry which is hosting what has been a successful fund-raising event in the past. The idea to provide a list of specific items that the cooks have to pick from for their meal is something new this year. The food on the list of 17 items includes things like milk, eggs, bread, some kind of meat (usually ground beef), pasta and pasta sauce. “The concept is that sometimes people come to the food bank and say we have nothing in our cupboards so we want to make it as realistic as possible,� she added. “My thought has always been that this lunch is meant to educate people as to how hard it is to make a meal with such a limited budget,� she said.

Norwood District High School revs up for Grease

Entertainment - Norwood There will be some slick dancing Greased Lightning at Norwood District High School in the new year. The school’s busy drama team is about to kick rehearsals into high gear for their springtime production of the popular musical Grease and hopes to match last year’s success of their much-lauded

presentation of Anne of Green Gables: The Musical. NDHS has produced Grease before but that was several graduating classes ago and they didn’t have the benefit of a pit band delivering musical gems like Shakin’ at the High School Hop, All Choked Up, Freddy, My Love and Greased Lightning. And unlike Anne of Green Gables, choreography has a

huge starring role in Grease. “The biggest, the main challenge is choreography,” says teacher-director Hayleigh Cockburn who’s new to the school and throwing herself into the production with enthusiasm. “It’s been fantastic,” Cockburn says. NDHS students are a busy bunch when it comes to extra-curricular activities and Cockburn says bringing everyone together for rehearsals has sometimes been difficult. “When they are here they are on point. They really enjoy it. They have to make sure their grades are up to par and if they aren’t we have to have a chat. They know there are expectations.” Cockburn is new to teaching but not to musicals. Her background is in vocals and she has directed before but this is the first time she’s been in charge of a full-scale musical. “I’m not nervous; I’m nervous for them in the sense it’s something they’ve never done before,” she said. “I’m putting a lot of work into it so that’s nerve-racking.”

Grease is a delightful play to jump into, she says, because it’s emphatically a period piece underscored by songs and rhythms that mark a moment in time. “It’s an era; it’s the fifties and they get to try different outfits and dances,” Cockburn said. “It’s fun for that alone but it’s also fun because there’s a lot of choreography. With Anne there was very little; with this it’s shock. We’ll have a live pit band performing alongside the performers and that’s another challenge, no pre-recorded music. “I know they can do it,” she said. “Everything’s a work in progress right now. The set right now is the main priority because we need something for them to work on.” They have costumes but set painting remains a top behind-the-scenes production priority. Cockburn is tackling choreography for the first time, too, and that is a personal challenge, she admits. She’s excited about having a live student band with recent NDHS Wall of Honour

inductee Debra Richardson-Edge back to help out on the musical side along with former NDHS teacher Mike Davidson. “It’s a great team. They know their stuff. They’ll have fun in the music

Norwood District High School’s next big drama production is the musical Grease which will hit the stage March 5. The cast and crew are well into rehearsals under the direction of teacher Hayleigh Cockburn.

Girl gains 43 grandparents after giving from her heart By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - Elevenyear-old Halley Marsh now has 43 grandparents, all of whom are residents at Burnbrae Gardens. “She just decided this year instead of gifts for herself she wanted to get gifts for Christmas for all the residents here,� said her mom Tracy, who along with her husband Don supported their daughter’s holiday wish. “She has no living grandparents but she now has 43 right here,� she added with a grin. For Halley, the decision was an easy one, brought on by what she

described as a “tough year.� “I was bullied this past year and didn’t feel very nice so I started thinking who do you think would be forgotten. I thought maybe seniors in a seniors’ home or nursing home,� she said in a very quiet voice. So Halley approached her local karate club for donations and was successful in collecting some money. “So then I went to Campbellford Wholesale, Scott Drummond [Scott Drummond Motors] and Tim Hortons and they all donated,� she said with a shy smile.

Her brother Timmy, age eight, Independent when she returned to and her brother to have lunch with “These are all my grandparents,â€? helped. Burnbrae last week with her mom the residents. she said with a big grin. The gift bags were put together and delivered to the residents before Christmas. “I got a book, a puzzle book, hand cream, lip cream, Vaseline, a comb, razors ‌ the bag was just full,â€? said resident Frank Trombley. Burnbrae Gardens director of care Lesley Dale said this was a first for the residents. It was a first for Halley too. “She plans on coming back next year and doing this all over again,â€? she said. Halley spoke with the Trent Hills

HBM budget approved, water, sewer rates stay the same

News - Havelock-BelmontMethuen – Residential and commercial water and sewer rates will stay the same in 2015 following a decision by council during final approval of the municipal budget which calls for a 4.32 per cent increase ($208,821) in its tax levy requirement.

Led by village ward Councillor Barry Pomeroy with support from Deputy-Mayor Jim Martin and Hart Webb, council voted to stick to the status quo rather than approve a recommended $2 a month increase that would have raised the residential water rate to $57 a month and sewer rate to

meet future infrastructure needs, Nesbitt said. “I have trouble supporting it (the $2 increase),” Pomeroy said. “I know the need for the increase but can we afford it if it’s a deterrent to people coming into town.”

“I understand the business side. If we do anything like this, we are going to have to take a look how we are doing business. Look at everything.” “We have to do business a little different,” said Pomeroy. “I’m here to try to find savings so we don’t have to go to Joe Public all the time. We can’t afford it any more. We’ve got to look to see if there are alternatives out there instead of increasing.” “I hear a lot about the cost of water,” Martin added. “I understand the business side. If we do anything like this we are going to have to take a look how we are doing business. Look at everything.”

Martin said he “struggled” with the proposed increases but didn’t want to hold up the budget process. Water is a “huge expense,” he said. “If we go with this we will hear about it. We’re really going to have to look hard at the system.” Councillor Webb admitted the rates had always been a “pet peeve” and said they couldn’t afford to continually pass on $2 increases every couple of years to users. “The way the economy is, people’s wages aren’t increasing $2 or $3 every month.” CAO Pat Kemp explained the rationale for the proposed increase calling it a “Catch 22” situation. “It is a challenge for us because we know we have some upgrades to do and we know it’s the users that have to pay for the system,” Kemp said. “If we don’t put money aside for future upgrades the municipality might be in a financial problem down the road.” “It comes down to, do you want to add to the future capital stream now or later,” Mayor Ron Gerow added. “I don’t want to see a tax increase but I know there has to be one. It’s the same thing with the water.”

an additional $14,000 in revenue; the $2 sewer increase would have produced an extra $10,000, said director of corporate services and treasurer Valerie Nesbitt. “I know it sounds like a sizeable increase but it is really only raising that amount,” said Nesbitt. The additional revenues were earmarked for future capital requirements. The municipality currently has two major waterrelated grant applications pending and will have to cover some of the costs associated with the projects if they’re successful. If they aren’t successful HBM will face an even higher cost to completing the projects, which include a new water treated storage facility (standpipe) and ancillary work pegged at just over $2 million. The other one up for funding is a $2,037,235 King Street project that includes watermain and sanitary sewer works. “Any money we are going to raise will be set aside for upgrades,” said Nesbitt. Water and sewer rates have not changed in two years. It’s council’s option to raise the rates or stay with the status quo but at some point in time they will have to be raised to

Chair of the 7 Hills Community Pantry checking her list

By Sue Dickens

News - Warkworth - Santa Claus was not the only one making a list and checking it twice this Christmas. Gail Covert, chair of the 7 Hills Community Pantry, was also checking her list to see what their clients need. She points out that the list is a good guideline for anytime of the year,

including the coming months of January and February when the holiday giving stops but the needs of their clients still exist. “The list includes canned fruit, juice, pork and beans, peanut butter, canned soup, canned vegetables, mayonnaise, macaroni and cheese (i.e. Kraft Dinner) and pasta,” she said.

“Non-food items such as dish soap, hand soap and toothpaste are also very helpful,” she added. By the time this newspaper is published the Christmas hampers will have been distributed, thanks to “generous donations” from the community and area businesses. “We gave out the hampers December

A special lunch was held recently for the volunteers of the 7 Hills Community Pantry in Warkworth: front, from left, Sonny Lennon, Maureen Lennon, Freda Dong and Janet Hare; back, from left, Darlene Downs, Gail Covert (chair), John Williamson, Ruth Newman, Janet Findlay, Barb Taylor.

19 and 22 and distributed them to about 27 clients,” she said. The number is about the same as last year. Clients live in Warkworth and the surrounding area. “This past year we’ve had new clients come to us who tend to be older, in their fifties. They are people who have worked a long time and their company may have closed down and they are trying to pay their bills. They will still need help after the holidays,” Covert explained. “Many people are living pay cheque to pay cheque these days and the

majority are families,” she added. “I think it’s consistent with what is happening everywhere now.” At 7 Hills Community Pantry there are also clients who have had to make use of the food bank at least once or twice this past year. “Some clients just need help occasionally,” noted Covert. It is donations and grants throughout the year, not just at Christmas time, that keep the food bank shelves stocked. “Martin Hare, our food bank treasurer was instrumental in communicating with Hamilton Township Mutual Insurance and through that we got half of a beef,” said Covert. “Every one of our volunteers has some of this beef stored in their freezer for when it’s needed. It’s incredible. We were lucky to get it,” she added. The community pantry does not have a freezer to store that much beef so the volunteers pitched in. “And we just got a donation from a local resident, he and his partner have done this in the past, and so turkeys for Christmas were covered for all our clients,” she said with enthusiasm. There are many more examples of support from area residents and organizations. “I want to thank everyone for their support from within the community and from the churches and organizations … all are big supporters. It’s almost getting to the point you’re hoping you don’t forget somebody when you say thank you,” Covert concluded. And so the work of the volunteers will continue as another year begins. Speaking of 2015, don’t forget the fourth annual Not a Black Tie Event, a fund raiser scheduled to take place January 15, the third Thursday of the month. “We’re looking volunteers for the kitchen, we need five or six people,” Covert said. As well any teams interested in participating are asked to contact Covert as soon as possible by phoning 705-924-9008.

Library CEO retires after working 27 years at library branch “It’s been amazing to work with Donna, she’s been so much more than a CEO to everybody here,” she’s been “a friend,” Mahoney said. “I can’t imagine not hearing that infectious laughter she has. “It’s going to be so hard not to see her here,” she continued. “It’s very sad but on the other hand it’s wonderful” that she’ll be able to visit her grandchildren and get involved in other community activities. Wilson said she’ll miss the library’s patrons – “I love working with the public” – and the people she worked with but she won’t miss the paperwork. “It interferes with helping somebody find a good book.” Libraries are “a great place to work” because people go there “for relaxation” and information. “Most people are happy when they come in,” although “some are grumpy” because a book she recommended at their request turned out not to their liking. “Kids are always fun” and “a lot of seniors ... come in just to have little visits.” A special celebration in honour of Wilson was held early in December by Friends of the Library from the three branches – Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth. More than 100 patrons, friends, library staff and municipal employees attended. “It was a nice sendoff,” Kerr said. Wilson’s gifts included a gift certificate to the Stirling Theatre, a chair and a book, and a commitment by the municipality to install a park bench on the library property in her honour. A highlight of her career at the library was the addition built onto the original Carnegie building with the help of a $680,000 bequest. It meant moving into an old car dealership for a year while construction was underway. “The roof caved

in as we were setting up and we lost a large number of our fiction books,” Wilson said. “The washrooms could only be accessed from the outside.” Staff and books returned to the library with its expanded area in 1996 and a year later she became branch supervisor. When Wilson started there were no computers and cards were used to check books out. Today there are 45 distributed across the three branches. The municipality contributes most of the $465,000 the library requires to operate; the province kicks in just $33,000 and another $12,000 is generated in revenue from various sources, such as the rental of rooms. “It’s a pretty good deal” for taxpayers, Wilson said, as the cost per household works out to around $70 annually which gives family members access to a wealth of material and a range of services, including books, magazines, DVDs, ebooks, audiobooks, and the Internet. The budget for new books is $40,000, with the branches each given a share to spend as they wish throughout the year, with bestseller lists serving as a guide, along with suggestions from the public. “The taxpayers put in most of the money, that’s why we cater to what they want,” Wilson said. The books purchased are available to patrons of the three branches. Trent Hills Public Library also lends out books from its collection of 47,000 volumes, about 1,800 a year, to libraries across the country, and orders in about the same number through inter-library loans. “We leant a Harlequin romance book to the Vancouver Public Library,” Wilson said, which is “amazing,” and goes to show even the largest libraries “can’t have everything.”

News - Campbellford – When the boys and girls she read to as children’s librarian began bringing their own children to the library, Donna Wilson says she knew “it was time” to retire. She did just that December 31 – after 27 years of working at the Campbellford branch, first as a part-time children’s librarian and then as CEO of Trent Hills Public Library. When she started out, “it was an 18 hour a week position and I loved it. I had trained as an elementary school teacher but this was perfect: children and books.” Retirement will allow Wilson to spend more time with her three grandchildren, who live in Kitchener and British Columbia, and to go travelling with her husband Steve, who retired a year ago. She also plans to do “a lot more reading” and continue to be an active member of the Campbellford Lionesses. Maybe even “find new places to volunteer,” to help keep her busy, she added. “We understand it’s time but we’re sad,” said RoseMarie Kerr, chair of the library board as well as Campbellford Friends. Wilson “has been absolutely wonderful, with her patience, understanding … and willingness to try something new, which is something that you don’t realize how valuable it is until you run into somebody who isn’t,” she said. Wilson was also “an inspiration to everyone in the library” and was “always looking out for [their] welfare.” Her co-worker for the past 18 years, Mary-Jo Mahoney, the children’s librarian, has taken her spot, and Brianne Parr, who worked at the Hastings library, has assumed Mahoney’s former role.

Beside them Lois Brown, also a resident, was visiting with Sweet Ursula, a black lab owned by Connie Quinn. “I’m retired and needed something to do,� noted Quinn as she talked about why she enjoys being a volunteer. “We go to the retirement homes, the hospital, Island Park, Burnbrae, VON adult daycare and more,� she said.

can be in the program. “We hold evaluation days once or twice a year at the Legion here,� explained Jim White, president of the Trent Hills Therapy Dogs. “It’s an 18-point evaluation,� he said. White got involved with the program about eight years ago “I was in an accident and I was stuck at home and bored silly and I always heard about the therapy dog program so I thought I would like to try it.� His dogs Snoopy, a Border Collie/Spaniel mix and (Mini) Pearl, a “mini� Australian Shepherd, are in the program. “The biggest joy I have with my dog is when I take them to the hospital or wherever we go and the people’s faces light up and they just start talking away and are very happy,� he said. “The dogs get right into it as well, they enjoy it and look forward to it.� Trent Hills Therapy Dogs is no longer a division of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dogs.

News – Campbellford – Wagging tails and doggy kisses are not all that the Trent Hills Therapy Dog program has to offer when they visit . . . they also offer comfort to many who are sick, frail, elderly, shut-in and perhaps lonely. Their name has recently changed but what they do has not. “I think it’s a wonderful thing when they come to visit. I just wouldn’t miss it,� said Helen Meyers, a resident at Island Park Retirement Community. She and several other residents spend time Monday mornings visiting with the therapy dogs owned by people in the community who volunteer their time and their pets to provide some quality time with others. “I’ve been here 15 minutes or more waiting for them. Seeing the dogs makes me feel good. I just enjoy being with them,� Meyers added.

ONTARIO GOVERNMENT NOTICE Notice of Transportation Environmental Study Report Submission Highway 62 Moira/Ridge Road Intersection Improvements and Rawdon Creek Structure Replacement Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study, G.W.P. 4044-10-00 THE PROJECT The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) retained URS Canada Inc. (URS) to undertake two separate Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment Studies for: 1) Improvements to the intersection of Highway 62 and Moira/Ridge Road (Hastings Road 8) (G.W.P. 4028-05-00); and 2) The replacement of the Rawdon Creek structure on Highway 62 (G.W.P. 4044-10-00). Given the overlap in potential impacts associated with the alternatives being considered in both studies, these studies were combined (G.W.P. 4044-10-00) to better understand the overall impacts and facilitate the selection of the Recommended Plan. The combined project limits are located in the Municipality of Centre Hastings within Hastings County. RECOMMENDED PLAN The Recommended Plan includes interim improvements that can be implemented in the short-to-mid-term as well as an ultimate plan for improvements to the Highway 62 and Moira/Ridge Road intersection. Interim Improvements • Replacing the existing Highway 62 Rawdon Creek structure to the west of the existing alignment. • The new structure will be wider than the existing to accommodate current design standards and will tie into the existing lane and shoulders along Highway 62. • Profile improvements on Highway 62. • Re-grading of the Trail of Two Lakes crossing at Highway 62. • Improvements to sight lines by vegetation removal within the Highway 62 right-of-way and review of sign placement to ensure they meet current standards. Ultimate Intersection Improvements • Constructing a modern roundabout at the Highway 62 and Moira/Ridge Road intersection. The roundabout has been designed to accommodate both tractor trailers and farm equipment. • Minor alignment revisions to Highway 62 and Moira/Ridge Road. • Improvements to intersection sight distances. • Installation of new concrete islands with curb and gutter on roundabout approaches. • New entrance connection and property access modifications. • Provide partial illumination along Highway 62 and at the roundabout intersection. THE PROCESS This study followed the approved planning process for Group ‘B’ projects under the MTO Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (Class EA) (2000). A Public Information Centre (PIC) was held for the intersection improvement study (prior to combining the two studies) in July 2013 and a PIC was held for the combined study in July 2014. A Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) has been prepared to document the transportation problems and opportunities, the generation, assessment and evaluation of alternatives, the Recommended Plan, a summary of potential environmental issues and mitigation measures and a summary of consultation undertaken throughout the study. The TESR is available for public review from Thursday, January 8, 2015 to Friday, February 6, 2015 at the following locations during normal business hours: Municipality of Centre Hastings 7 Furnace Street Madoc, ON K0K 2K0

Hastings County 235 Pinnacle Street Belleville, ON K8N 3A9

Madoc Public Library 20 Davidson Street Madoc, ON K0K 2K0

Interested persons are encouraged to review this document and provide written comments to MTO and URS during the TESR review period. If, after consulting with Ministry staff and the project consultant, you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to request the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change (Ferguson Block, 11th Floor, 77 Wellesley Street West, Toronto, ON M7A 2T5) in writing to make a Part II Order for this project. A Part II Order may lead to the preparation of an Individual Environmental Assessment. The Minister of the Environment and Climate Change must receive your Part II Order request by Friday, February 6, 2015. A copy of the request must be forwarded to MTO and URS at the addresses below. If there are no outstanding concerns at the end of the TESR review period, the project will be considered to have met the requirements of the Class EA.

Vipers lose OT heartbreaker By Bill Freeman

Sports - Norwood – For the second time this year, the Norwood J.J. Stewart Vipers stole points from the defending Allan Cup champion Dundas Real McCoys. After suffering a 16 - 1, 61 shot shellacking in Brantford (6-4-0-1) to open the new year, the Vipers showed their resilience at home in a solid 4 - 3 Allan Cup Hockey overtime loss to the Real McCoys (8-6-0) on a bad-weather night that slowed down the Dundas journey to Norwood. Norwood (2-10-1) was led by captain Darren Doherty who notched a pair of goals as the Vipers surged to a 3 - 1 second period lead before former AHLer Mike Amodeo narrowed the score by one with a late goal. The two teams played a tight third period until Central Michigan University grad Jeff White evened the score at 3 - 3 beating Vipers goalie Caydon Edwards with just over three minutes left in regulation time. The Real McCoys capped the comeback with former Brock University Badger Steve Hurst notching the game winner 47 seconds into overtime. It was a rough start to 2015 for the Vipers in Brantford, as the hometown Blast built up an 11 - 0 lead after two periods in front of 561 fans during Express Your Selfie Night at the Civic Centre. Mark Prentice scored Norwood’s lone goal to open the third period with the Blast replying with five more to end the night. The Blast continues to lead the ACH in goals against giving up just 44 through 11 games. The Blast outshot Norwood 28 - 19. Vipers buzz: Norwood travels to Market Street in Dundas for a January 9 game then hosts the first place Whitby Dunlops (8-2-3) January 11. The Dunlops took over top spot with a 9 - 4 win over the Real McCoys handing Dundas their first home loss of the year. The Stoney Creek Generals (9-6-0) remain in second place one point behind Whitby whom they play January 18. Stoney Creek’s Mike Ruberto (10-18-28) continues to lead the ACH in scoring one point ahead of rookie Derek Medeiros (13-14-27) of Brantford. Whitby’s Peter MacKellar (14-10-24) is in third place one point up on former Boston Bruin Joel Prpic (10-13-23) of Brantford … Norwood’s Darren Doherty (8-5-13) is tied for seventeenth. MacKellar and teammate Kyle Ventura lead the league in goals with 14 each. Goalie Dan Earles of Stoney Creek tops the ACH with a 2.92 goals against average. The Vipers’ powerplay remains a weak point with just two goals in 64 attempts, well behind league-leading Brantford’s 20 per cent. On the other hand, Norwood’s penalty kill has been strong and ranks second in the ACH at 88.64 per cent behind Stoney Creek with its stingy 91.53 per cent.

Campbellford’s Bantams head into the playoffs in first place By Jake Whalen

Sports – Campbellford - With a record of 19 wins, one loss and two ties, the Campbellford Bantams have ended the 2014/15 regular season in first place. The Colts finished on top of their league, losing only once to Centre Hastings and tying Centre Hastings and Picton. Playoffs will start soon with Campbellford going up against either Bancroft or Baltimore in the first round. The coaching staff, led by Ben Mckeown, expect the team to be playing long into the playoffs this year. Campbellford finished their season on December 28 with a 3-0 win over the Brighton Braves. It was a very close game all the way through. The first and eventual game-winning goal was scored unassisted by Liam Wells with only two minutes left in the first period. The game was back and forth all game with both teams having chances on their respective power plays. At one point the Colts were down by two players, but they shut the Braves down on that penalty kill and the rest of the game. Carter Kies put in an empty-netter assisted by Tristan Whalen with one minute left in the game, and Zack Nicholson put in another empty-netter with just seconds remaining to ensure the win. The Bantams celebrate Liam Wells’ game winner in Brighton. Sam Brunton had the shutout against Photo: Submitted Brighton.

Rebels looking for sweep to regain second place By John Campbell

Sports - Campbellford – The Campbellford Rebels will be looking to overtake the Napanee Raiders for second place in the Empire B Junior C Hockey League when they play a homeand-away series that began Tuesday in Napanee and concludes this Saturday in Campbellford. The Rebels began the week two points behind the Raiders

who have 35, plus a game in hand. Campbellford was denied an opportunity to pull even when its game against the lowly Deseronto Storm scheduled for last Saturday was postponed owing to a prediction of ... a storm. The team ended 2014 with a pair of losses to the leagueleading Port Hope Panthers, the last one a 7 - 1 drubbing at home

Quinte curlers take home men’s and women’s wins after winning Zone 4 playdowns

Sports – Campbellford – The Campbellford District Curling and Racquet Club was the site of the Best Western Challenge for women and Fairfield Marriott Challenge for men in Zone 4 playdowns. It was exciting action for the men as determination of the winners happened, in most cases, in the final end and sometimes when the final rock that was thrown. On the men’s side only two teams will go on to the Provincials which are being held in two weeks at the Trenton and Brighton Curling clubs. The men’s competition saw eight teams entered, five of them representing the Campbellford Curling and Racquet Club. The “A” winning team was from Quinte Curling Club led by skip Dave Collyer, with third Mike Collyer, second Matt Collyer and lead Jon Collyer. The “B” winning team is from

Quinte curlers take home men’s and women’s wins Continued from page 30

“It was a really good weekend of curling,” said Eunice Stapley, the club’s manager and an avid curler. “Most of the men’s curling games came right down to the last end, if not the last rocks. Good luck to the teams going on to the Provincials,” she added.

The Campbellford District Curling and Racquet Club won the “B” team championship and was skipped by Katy Mountain, with third Colleen Kelly, second Erin Hobbs and lead Tara Watson. These two teams played two games each. The “B” winning team from Campbellford skipped by Jim Brownson was not available when photos were taken. Photo: Submitted
