Norwood’s Legionnaire of year “totally surprised� by honour

Trenton: Cobourg: 613-392-1354 905-372-6664 303 461 Dundas St. W. William St.

News – Asphodel-Norwood Well-known as a raconteur and gregarious conversationalist, Lloyd Gaskin was left speechless when the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 300 in Norwood presented him with the prestigious Legionnaire of the Year award Saturday night during the Branch’s elegant honours and awards gala.

The award is voted on by the membership and Gaskin, a member of various Branch executives for the past 12 years, was this year’s choice and despite pretending to have a speech prepared for the occasion, the retired high school teacher was left nearly dumbstruck.

Afterwards, still in some state of shock, Gaskin had a little more to say. “I was totally surprised. I am very grateful to the Legion for the recognition. I didn’t do anything outstanding. It just recognizes the plodder; that’s what I was,â€? Gaskin, an afďŹ liate member of Branch 300, said with a chuckle. “I’m an historian, I love history.

If ever there was a more justiďŹ ed war it was the Second World War. The Legion pays homage to the people who served in World War II and lost their lives,â€? he said. “I’ve enjoyed the fellowship of the people at the Legion. I didn’t expect this at all; I was never expecting this.â€? “I can’t say enough about the man,â€? past president and honours and awards chair Doug Willoughby said.

Willoughby travelled to China last year with Gaskin and roomed with him during the trek; he appreciates his charm, courtesy and deep love of the past. “The amount of work Lloyd has done for this Legion over the years is phenomenal,â€? Willoughby said. “He’s been on a number of executives and is just a real hard, hard worker. He exempliďŹ es what it means to be a Legion member.â€? “I am just so pleased. I get choked up; he’s something else.â€?

Proposed Hastings subdivision raises concerns among neighbours

By John Campbell

News - Hastings – A second public meeting will be held to receive comment about a 28-lot subdivision that’s been proposed south-west of Hastings on Rice Lake.

Council agreed to another session after people complained at the first public meeting held January 7 that not everyone with property near the site on Concession 11 had received notice of the development proposal.

Several of those who did voiced their concerns, in person and in letters, with the planned subdivision by White Horse Investment Corporation.

Their fears included increased traffic on nearby Maple Ridge Drive in Trentwood Estates, the loss of trees and wildlife habitat, and the potential adverse impact the subdivision would have on their supply of well water, property values, and quality of life.

sell and it would be left to the purchasers to decide what to build.

“It’s not as if we’re going to be ... building a number of homes and then trying to sell them,” he said.

Stackhouse, and others who followed him, said the additional traffic on his neighbourhood’s roads, which “already are in a state of deterioration,” will hasten them falling apart.

The new homes will also drive up property values in the area and the resulting higher taxes could force seniors, already burdened with rising hydro and heating bills, “out of their homes,” he said.

“There are only so many notches in the belt you can tighten.”

Lakeshore Drive residents Cora and Tony Casamento sought guarantees their source of water wouldn’t be interrupted as well as assurances that compensation would be paid in the event their supply failed because of the subdivision.

Clark said the drilled wells serving the new lots would tap into an aquifer “much lower” than the one serving residences in Trentwood.

Peters told Martha McGregor the local conservation authority identified what has to be done to

News - Trent Hills – The municipality has too many buildings in its inventory that are not being used enough, says CAO Mike Rutter.

“We’re coming to a very critical point where we have a lot of facilities that are under-utilized, and we NItoSbeSdone),” AN he really need to focus on (what needs told council January 7.

The issue was raised when Councillor Kim McNeil drew attention to a staff recommendation made at the December 10 facilities committee meeting that the Warkworth Memorial Hall be used for storage only, for the benefit of local historical societies.

McNeil said the need for office space that local organizations could use was also brought up at a recent public meeting and she suggested “the Memorial Hall might be a good place for that.”

Rutter said, “Quite often when people express an interest in using (a municipal building) ... they don’t have the capacity to pay.

“There may be a need,” he said, but “we have to be very careful about where you place them.”

The facilities committee is interested in “maximizing the use of a fewer number of facilities” so they operate closer to capacity and are less of a drain on municipal coffers.

Even places such as the Warkworth Town Hall for the Arts and the Hastings Civic Centre, where Trent Hills has “great” partnerships to keep them in use, are “becoming more and more expensive for the taxpayers to bear ... unless they’re used a lot,” Rutter said.

He suggested the few groups remaining who use the Memorial Hall could be directed to the Town Hall for the Arts to generate more revenue there.

The committee and staff “really want to start a conversation with council about what buildings we should be focusing our energies on, as far as getting utilization as much as possible,” Rutter said. “One of the challenges we’ve had, and we’ve talked about it a lot, is spreading our resources too thin.”

If the municipality were to focus its resources on fewer buildings, “we can do a better job,” he said.

Rutter assured McNeil “there’s no problem waiting a few months” before dealing with the issue in earnest.

protect wildlife habitat, such as establishing buffer zones in certain areas.

Mayor Hector Macmillan acknowledged the residents’ “genuine concerns” but he told them he hadn’t heard sufficient reasons to turn down the developer’s application based on what the province’s Planning Act says.

“Why have a meeting with the public if you’re just going to ignore what we’re saying?” exploded one member of the audience, who loudly berated the mayor before he stormed out of the room.

Macmillan said council “can’t make a decision on emotion” and Deputy-mayor Bob Crate said there has to be “a valid reason” to reject the proposal, or else it will trigger an Ontario Municipal Board hearing the municipality would lose.

Councillor Gene Brahaney spoke in favour of another public meeting being held, “to be seen as an olive branch extended (to those who) feel we’ve shortchanged them in the process.”

Council agreed to hold one within 60 days and to make an effort to contact property owners, many of them seasonal residents, who hadn’t been notified of the first meeting.

Consultant Bob Clark said the lots, which average 1.2 hectares, are “compatible” in size with those in the adjacent Trentwood Estates, and they would be developed in a way that’s “sensitive to the natural environment.”

Studies commissioned by White Horse concluded the proposed subdivision would have no impact on the “local groundwater regime” and not very much on the 36.5-hectare site’s natural features, provided certain “recommendations and mitigation/compensation measures are addressed and implemented,” he said.

“We believe the subject lands represent a significant opportunity to create a spectacular residential community with scenic views of Rice Lake, the stream valley and the surrounding hills,” Clark said.

The internal road planned for the subdivision would benefit Trentwood residents as well by providing them and emergency responders with another means to access their properties, he said.

Amendments to the municipality’s official plan and zoning bylaw will be required and a draft plan of subdivision approved for the development to proceed.

Maple Ridge resident Eddie Stackhouse questioned the need for more homes, saying “there is no housing shortage in Hastings.

“All you’re going to do is flood the market (and) make it very difficult for homeowners to sell their property ...at fair market value,” he said. They’ll be forced to sell at “rock bottom prices.”

Clark said the pace of development would depend on how quickly the lots

HBM backs TRENT HILLS Communicator Trent Hills mayor’s attack on hydro rate hikes CIVIC AWARDS NOMINATIONS OPEN!

when it came to assessing the damage a more-than 40 per cent rate hike will have on local ratepayers, businesses and the municipality itself.

“The overall business plan they have isn’t going to work, it’s going to self-destruct,” Councillor Jim Martin said.

Martin, like others, praised the frontline Hydro One employees who worked tirelessly under “extreme conditions” to get power back on to scores of thousands of Ontarians who lost power during the recent ice storm.

The problem doesn’t lie there, he said.

Mayor Macmillan was authorized by Trent Hills council to write to the Ontario Ombudsman protesting the dramatic escalation in rates embedded in the provincial government’s so-called longterm energy plan. Under the plan, rates will increase 33 per cent over the next three years and within five years they will jump 42 per cent for the average family.

HBM Mayor Ron Gerow also took aim at comments Peterborough MPP and Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal made on the proposed hikes. Gerow said that Leal suggested that Ontario still had some of the best hydro rates in the country compared to other jurisdictions.

Mayor Gerow said he was “disgusted” by that assessment.

“I intend to tell him that,” he said. “It was not the right political answer and in real life it was not the right answer at all.”

Gerow wanted a resolution that would put the province

“on notice that the increases in hydro over the next four years are not only not sustainable they are not manageable.”

The resolution, which will be circulated at Peterborough County council and to other municipalities, will ask that an “independent review” of Hydro One be undertaken.

“We need to take a look at the overall costs of operating and providing electricity to the residents of Ontario at affordable rates that are sustainable,” Gerow said.

“I don’t know about anybody else but I can’t afford to pay 40 per cent more. I know there are a lot of folks out there who are on the edge.”

The municipality itself will struggle with increases like that, he added.

“If we just sit back and do absolutely nothing this will unfold.”

“It seems like they really don’t care,” said Councillor Barry Pomeroy.

“It’s just one thing after another,” added Larry Ellis. “It’s getting to the point where people can’t afford it.

I think we’re right on to write a resolution.”

“They have to be more accountable,” Martin said. “The way your bills are going today for hydro you’ll never be able to afford it.”

“It’s out of control,” Gerow said. “They’re going to have to do something.”

He noted that propane costs have also shot up 35 per cent in the past three months.

He said we’ll get the real picture when people have their hydro turned off because they can’t afford the bills.

Splashpad contractor chosen, public meeting planned

By Bill Freeman

News – Asphodel-Norwood – The Norwood Lions Splashpad Committee has selected a contractor and design and will host a February 5 public information meeting to give area residents a chance to learn more about the details of the project and the Lions’ fundraising campaign which has now topped the $100,000 mark in cash and in-kind donations.

ABC Recreation Limited of Paris, Ont. was chosen with a winning design bid of $186,697 for the 2,575 square foot Vortex splashpad facility, nearly $35,000 less than the next lowest tender. The total price, including supply, delivery installation

and HST, is $210,967.

The finished landscaping around the splashpad is not part of the contract price and scope of the work.

The committee’s recommendation will be sent to township council for final approval.

Four companies participated in the tendering process. The committee expects to hear from the Ontario Trillium Foundation by mid-February about their grant application and meanwhile continue to source other granting opportunities and are currently exploring at least four possibilities.

Construction will not begin until at least $300,000 of funding is in place. Locally, the Lions hope to raise $150,000.

“The more who know what’s going on the better it’s going to be,” committee chair Ron Scott told The Independent. He is anxious to draw as many people as possible to the February 5 meeting, which will be run as a drop-in information centre with concept depictions of the splashpad for view and opportunities for people to provide their input. Representatives from ABC Recreation will be at the meeting.

“I just want people to get informed about what’s going on and get any ideas from them on what possibly we’ve missed in features.”

Scott says there is some flexibility in the facility noting that some of the features can be “switched around.

“And definitely if we get more support we could be increasing the size of some of the pathways (etc.) leading up to it,” he added.

Scott and committee members are thrilled with the fundraising progress they have made. Since their last meeting alone they have added almost $3,000 more in donations and are now within about $25,000 of what they had originally intended to raise.

“I’m very pleased. I was thinking I’d be sitting here in two years. With cash and in-kind we’re way over $100,000; we’re well ahead of where we expected to be at this time.”

“There’s definitely opposition out there,” Scott admitted.

“People need to have some facts.”

The meeting will provide those facts, he said, and “certainly get the hype going.”

Committee member Peter Oord says that at the meeting they want to “emphasize how popular splashpads are” at all of the communities they’ve visited from Peterborough to Ottawa.

“We’ve got a good overview of how receptive communities have been to splashpads once they’re in,” said Oord. “When you think you’re going to attract 40 to 50 on a regular basis it’s really 60 to 80 kids. They’re in constant use.”

Once the splashpad is completed the Lions will turn the facility over to the municipality which will own and operate it.

The Lions will host a fundraising dream auction at the Norwood Town Hall April 26 and are planning another outdoor summer music series at the community centre.

Rising police costs a big challenge

By Bill Freeman

News – Asphodel-Norwood – Policing represents 26.4 per cent of AsphodelNorwood’s budget and wrestling with escalating costs will be a huge challenge in upcoming years, says Mayor Doug Pearcy.

“They can’t keep adding to our police bill, it’s going to kill us,” Pearcy told the Independent. The township’s police budget will jump nine per cent in 2014.

The province and the OPP are exploring a new province-wide billing model using a formula that will include a flat $260 per household fee for the base costs plus a “variable charge” for each call for service to a municipality. The OPP estimates that the average cost per household, including the base cost and calls for service, is $369.

Many municipalities, including Havelock-Belmont-Methuen, oppose the proposed billing model but Pearcy is less critical because the per household cost for policing in Asphodel-Norwood for 2014 will be among the highest in Peterborough county at $404.

If the proposed model is applied in 2015 that cost drops to $357 per household.

“I know that some are concerned and upset about this but we always pay a lot more per household for policing than others in the county.”

The new formula would give AsphodelNorwood a break “even though it’s still a lot of money.

“The province is supposedly levelling the playing field. My concern is if they don’t do something what’s going to happen to us?”

Policing is another instance of municipalities dealing with costs they have no control over and yet pay for through municipal levies.

“We’re the ones who get blamed but we have no control over it.”

Policing hikes, conservation authority increases, the loss of $39,900 in Ontario Municipal Partnership Funding and increases in day-to-day items like hydro and fuel produce a $100,000 “budget problem before we even start.”

Still, Pearcy says the municipality is “pretty close” to bringing back the zero per cent budget increase.

“I think the township is in pretty good shape,” he said. Photo: Bill Freeman

“We’re going to have to watch everything in 2014.”

Asphodel-Norwood has the highest tax rate in the county because of its small population and assessment base.

“We have to live with that, we can’t change it. It’s quite a struggle every year,” says Pearcy. “If we just did everything we wanted to and raised taxes accordingly I don’t think people would want to live here.”

The year 2014 will unfold with the launch of metered water rates in February; there will also be a new fire truck and the opening up of the new transfer station at the Norwood landfill site. The municipality will also open a re-use centre at the transfer station.

“We hope to have a lot more recycling in the community,” said Pearcy.

Pearcy hopes people are “paying attention” regarding the introduction of metered water and sewer rates.

“There will be lots of questions and we’re prepared to answer them.”

The township’s millpond committee will continue its trail project with a parking lot near the landfill site gates. A guide has already been produced by Fleming College.

“There are some amazing things up there,” said Pearcy. “We want people to use it. I think this will really be an asset to our community. It will bring tourism to Asphodel-Norwood.”

The roads department hard-topped nine kilometres in 2013 and will do another seven in 2014.

“I think that’s really good for a community this size.”

They’ve also applied for funding to help with major water and roads project on Spring Street.

IODE donates almost $5,500 to local causes

By Bill Freeman

News – Asphodel-Norwood – The Norwood IODE showed its generosity recently when it disbursed almost $5,500 to local causes and added another $2,000 in contributions to provincial and national initiatives.

The small but mighty group has been celebrating a milestone 100th anniversary this year and has not let up in its support of community projects, concerns and campaigns. It even held a silent auction and food collection during a recent Do you have an event coming up that we should know about? Email us the details so we can be there. tbush@metroland.com

meeting with the proceeds, $120, and items being donated to the Norwood Ministerial Foodbank.

Locally, the IODE made donations to local hospitals, the Asphodel-Norwood Public Library, the fire department, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 300, Community Care, all three schools, the food bank as well as the Brock Mission, Cameron House and the Crossroads Woman Shelter, all three in Peterborough.

The organization’s next fundraiser is its annual euchre tournament and lunch at the Norwood Legion January 25. The lunch of soup, sandwiches and cake starts at 11:30 a.m. with cards to follow.

The fee is $8. There will be door prizes as well.

Getting psyched for the 22 annual Polar Bear Plunge in Campbellford nd

By Sue Dickens

Events – Campbellford – “If you psych yourself up for it it’s not too bad,” said Earl McLean, who is preparing to again leap into the frigid waters of the Trent River for the 22nd annual Polar Bear Plunge.

“When you first go in it takes your breath away . . . actually you can’t breathe,” he admitted with a big grin.

“My first plunge was in 1994. I’ve done it 12 or 13 times since then,” said this long-time supporter of the plunge.

“I remember we had to cut a hole through the ice. It had been a really cold winter. The ice was 11 inches thick and it took three-and-a-half hours with chain saws,” he explained.

Whether wearing a hula skirt, zombie costume, a shirt and tie (and long johns) or just shorts, he continues to support the fundraising plunge with zeal.

This year he will be participating with his niece Charmaine McLean and her daughter Kelly Redden.

“My brother Jimmy who jumped with me in 1994 will be taking the plunge too,” said McLean, whose wife Sharon will be there videotaping the event.

McLean has raised, on average $1,000 to $2,000 each year.

“The ratio to dollars is very good. It’s an easy way to raise money. I just tell people you can either jump with me or sponsor me . . . I usually get the money,” he added laughing.

The plunge is organized by the Campbellford Hospital Auxiliary which this year is putting the money towards a central monitoring station upgrade and portable vital signs monitor.

Total cost is about $58,000.

“We’re getting close,” said Sharon Apted, this year’s polar convenor.

“This is my fourth year as a member of the Campbellford Hospital Auxiliary and the first project I’ve taken on, on my own,” she told the Trent Hills Independent.

“I help with the bazaar, tag days and ticket sales and volunteer in the gift shop,” she added.

“I joined the auxiliary because I felt this is something I can really believe in . . . for the hospital.”

The Chilly Willies, a.k.a. John Russell, executive director of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation and Maurice Goulet, manager of the hospital’s laboratory, did the Penguin walk much to the delight of the crowd last year.

They plan on doing it again.

“We are just trying to support the cause and help in as many ways as we can,” he said.

Newcomer to the plunge is Tonya McColl-Smith of Hastings, a member of a Peterborough women’s roller derby team.

“There will be about five of us, including Marnie Guindon of Campbellford. We are called the Amazons,” she explained.

“The more people that know about our team the more they will support us. Our team wants to support the hospital and different foundations so it’s a win-win,” she added.

FEES: JANUARY 1, 2014 TO MARCH 31, 2014 FOR EACH DOG: $10.00 + HST APRIL 1, 2014 - DECEMBER 31, 2014 FOR EACH DOG: $20.00 + HST

Firefighters also have to deal with hazards posed by water

By John Campbell

News – Campbellford – The annual Polar Bear Plunge wouldn’t take place without the hospital auxiliary members who organize it, the brave souls who agree to submerge themselves in the icy cold Trent River, the people who support them with pledges – and the firefighters who make sure the event goes off without a hitch.

“We’re there to make sure everyone has a good time,” and does so safely, said John Austin, Station 2 commander with the Trent Hills Fire Department.

The annual Polar Bear Plunge that will take place January 25 at Campbellford Lions Park.

Firefighters have the same concern wherever there is frozen water that attracts the attention of people young and old.

“In our eyes no ice is safe ice,” Austin said. “We’d like the people to avoid the slushy ice, the white ice, the black ice.

Clear ice is the best ice, minimum four inches (thick).”

If you are planning to go out on a body of water covered in ice, check it at several locations first, and “let somebody know you’re going out on the ice and what time you expect to return.”

Austin also recommended taking along a survival kit that includes a cellphone and ice pick, anything that will enable a person to complete “a self-rescue” or at least prevent a difficult situation from getting worse, to buy time for the arrival of firefighters.

Snowmobilers and ice fishers are two groups whose activities can put them at risk.

“Don’t travel at night” is another admonition he offers to encourage careful

behaviour.

“You can’t see the ice at night, you don’t know if it’s cracked,” Austin said.

“You’ll hear it when it’s too late, and that’s when we have to come out.”

The fire department had one incident in November where a man, “wanting to attend to his hunting camp, tipped a canoe and he was in the water for a while,” Aus-

tin said.

The fire department put two boats in the water to retrieve him.

“If somebody hadn’t noticed him, he would be dead,” Austin said. “He was in there for a while before anybody no-

ticed him.”

The fire department held training sessions on ice/water rescue last week and another was scheduled for this week.

“Every firefighter in Trent Hills is trained for ice/water rescue,” Austin said.

Egypt referendum

Editorial - General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who led the coup against Egypt’s elected president last July, has one of the finest collections of military headgear in the entire Middle East. Perhaps that’s why he has still not admitted that he plans to become the next president: he can’t decide which hat to throw into the ring.

His own explanation for his shyness comes straight out of the Aspiring DictaGwynne Dyer tor’s Handbook: “If I nominate myself, there must be a popular demand, and a mandate from my army,” he told the state-owned paper AlAhram. “When Egyptians say something, we obey, and I will never turn my back on Egypt.”

Egyptian generals are deeply patriotic people, and three others before Sisi have sacrificed their own desire for a quiet life in order to rule Egypt: Gamal Abdel Nasser (1956-70), Anwar Sadat (1970-81) and Hosni Mubarak (1981-2011). In fact, the last three years have been the only time in the life of the great majority of Egyptians when a general has not been running the country, and Sisi seems ready to make the supreme sacrifice too.

A mandate from the army shouldn’t be hard to get, since he runs the whole organization. And as far as “popular demand” is concerned, Sisi is clearly planning to use a “yes” vote in this week’s referendum on the new constitution as proof that the people want him for president.

The new constitution will be the third in four years. It replaces the one that was written and adopted (also by referendum) during the brief, unhappy rule of President Mohamed Morsi, who took office on June 30, 2012 and was overthrown on July 3, 2013. It removes the “Islamic” changes that Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood wrote into the last one, which should appeal to secular Egyptians, but that’s not what makes it attractive to General Sisi.

The new clauses that only a soldier could love include one that gives the Egyptian military the right to appoint the defence minister, and another that says the military budget will not be subject to civilian oversight. It also retains the muchcriticized clause that allows civilians to be tried in military courts. Sisi reckons enough civilians will vote for it anyway, some because they hate the Islamists and some because they are just tired of all the upheavals.

Maybe they will, because the whole Arab world is suffering from revolution fatigue: the “Arab awakening” has caused

such turbulence that many people would find a return to the old dictatorships almost comforting. It’s true even in Syria, where some of the rebels are starting to talk about making a deal with the Assad regime in order to isolate the Islamist extremists and hasten the end of the war.

There has been no war in Egypt, but about a thousand of Morsi’s supporters were massacred in the streets of Cairo by the “security forces” last summer, and the Muslim Brotherhood has been declared a terrorist organization. There have been many thousands of arrests, not only of senior Muslim Brotherhood members but recently of secular critics of the military regime as well.

Egyptians are frightened and exhausted, and Sisi apparently thinks they will gratefully accept a return to army rule (behind a democratic facade). But his nervousness is showing: there’s barely a wall in Cairo that is not covered with “Yes” posters and pictures of Sisi, while people trying to put up “No” posters get arrested. Sisi is right to be nervous.

In late September, three months after the coup, Zogby Research Services carried out an extensive opinion poll in Egypt for the Sir Bani Yas Forum in Abu Dhabi. It revealed that confidence in the army had already dropped from 93 per cent to 70 per cent, and it probably has gone on dropping.

General Sisi and former President Morsi had almost equal support in the country – 46 per cent for Sisi, 44 per cent for Morsi (who now faces trial for “inciting his supporters to carry out premeditated murder” and various other alleged crimes).

But Morsi’s trial was postponed last week from January 8 to February 1, allegedly because bad weather prevented him from being flown from his prison in Alexandria to Cairo for the trial. That’s a rather long spell of bad weather, and besides it’s only two and a half hours by road from Alexandria to Cairo. One suspects that the military regime did not want Morsi to make his first public appearance since the coup just before the referendum.

The Zogby poll also revealed that an overwhelming majority of respondents blame the last military regime, under Hosni Mubarak, for the problems facing Egypt today. All in all, this is hardly a firm foundation on which to complete the counter-revolution and build a new military regime.

The likeliest outcome of the referendum on the new constitution this week (Tuesday and Wednesday) will be a modest majority for the “Yes”, but on a very low turnout. If it is lower than the mere 33 per cent who voted in the referendum on the last constitution in 2012, then Sisi may have to reconsider his plan to run for the presidency.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

More on the supposed 4-3 split I recently read with great interest in this publication that the so-called 4-3 split that some contributors to this paper refer to on Brighton Council, is not supported by the numbers.

In fact, if the report is accurate, Mayor Walas has voted with the majority nearly 60 per cent of the time. What I would like to focus on is the other 40 per cent.

At the recent New Year’s Day Levee, in his speech, the mayor lauded a great number of the municipality’s accomplishments from the previous year which included the following: Funding for the YMCA, the creation of the Rose Ellery Park, the expansion of the Codrington Fire Hall, the completion of road reconstruction of Centre Street, great improvements made to King Edward Park including a financial gift from the Brighton Rotary, the expansion of the Industrial Park, the addition of a new Economic Development Officer, and extensive sidewalk improvements geared toward greater accessibility for those with various physical challenges.

This edition serves the following communities: Campbellford, Havelock, Hastings, Norwood, Warkworth & Area Published weekly by: Record News Communications, A division of Performance Printing Limited

What is most compelling in the Mayor’s praise for all of these great accomplishments is that to the best of my knowledge, by vote, the Mayor only voted to support two of them; increased funding for the Y and the creation of Rose Ellery Park both of which were unanimously supported by council. Which means in his acknowledgement of all of the other projects it would appear that he must be appreciative of those of us on council who voted in favour of the worthwhile initiatives.

For those who insist on talking about a 4-3 split on council it would appear that by the comments made by the mayor, the community has benefitted because there were four of us with common sense to support these important projects. As for the so-called 4-3 split, this publication has provided the numbers to suggest that it just isn’t true.

Start a new fad, walk to school

By Terry Bush Editorial - . I didn’t think I heard it right the first time so when it came on the radio again, I listened a little more closely. At the end of the commercial, a young girl can be heard saying, “I can walk to school, can you?” The commercial was sponsored by the local Health Unit, which is no doubt trying to spur the younger generation into getting a bit of exercise.

“I can walk to school.” Of course hearing something like this brought out the inner geezer in me that seems to be lurking just below the surface at any given time, now that I’m older.

Walking to school is something we all used to do. We had no choice and didn’t think anything of it at the time. We walked everywhere. The only time we didn’t walk was when we rode our bikes, another innovative idea whose time has come.

It’s not like our families were rich enough to have two cars at their disposal and why would you need two vehicles? Most mothers stayed at home those days. Not only did we walk or ride our bikes to school, we had to ride them home for lunch because town kids, even if they lived at the far end of town, weren’t allowed in the lunch room unless their mothers sent a note saying they wouldn’t be home that day because they were busy at the hospital giving birth.

While I didn’t have to walk as far as my father did, which if I recall correctly was in the neighbourhood of eight miles uphill both ways, it was still quite a hike by today’s standards considering many children only walk from the car to the front door of the school.

I would guess we walked or rode our bikes probably a mile or so to get to school, which was really nothing. To a geezer in training like myself, today’s kids, despite today’s technology, are missing out on some great childhood memories and most of them involve physical activity. When we were kids, and by that I mean under the age of 10, we walked for miles to bring the cows in for milking.

There was no complaining involved, we thought it was a privilege to be given the responsibility to walk to the other side of the woods and herd the cows back through the woods to the barn. It made us feel all grown up, like we were teenagers.

It could never happen today but we also stopped traffic on Highway 14 at the top of the first hill south of Stirling and herded the cows across the road into the barn to be milked too. We built forts in the woods, fished in every creek and stream in the area, regularly visited the Stirling sewage lagoons to admire the wildlife and did all this either on foot or on our bikes. Our decidedly low tech, one-speed bicycles worked almost as well in the winter as they did in the summer depending on the day. I can still recall strapping a very weighty bag of Saturday Toronto Telegrams to my banana seat and travelling to the four corners of Stirling through slush and snow on a paper route that nobody wanted for good reason. It didn’t kill me but I sure looked forward to the Saturdays when my grandfather or dad had a bit of time to drive me around. Those Saturday Telegrams were almost two inches thick. Quite a slog when you only had one gear, but no worse than our rides up the hills from Stirling to Oak Lake to go swimming in the summer.

In the evenings, kids on the street would gather at dusk for a game of flashlight hide and seek in the nearby fields.

From a young age, my friends and I would travel over hill and dale in the dead of winter, tentatively crossing Rawdon Creek to that Mecca of tobogganing, Shay’s Hill, for a day of fun. It wasn’t unusual to find 80 kids there, red-faced and smiling as they hung on for dear life.

Dead tired after climbing up the hill dozens of times, we’d trudge a couple of miles back home. When that hill became too tame, we walked even farther to Suicide Hill, a spectacular place where you could rarely see the bottom of the hill from the top, it was that steep in winter. Most kids today would be hard-pressed to climb to the top of that hill once let alone spend a day riding a sled up and down.

In the very early spring, we looked forward to getting rid of our coats and tackling the old barn that was called the Stirling arena. We’d ride to the top of Stapley’s Hill next to the old sawmill, pedal down that hill as fast as we could and because all the snow had slid down the side of the building, we’d veer off the road to see how far we could ride up the side of the rink on the snowbanks before we came tumbling down.

Will kids today have many of these same experiences? Unfortunately most won’t. We’re caught up in a world of technology with our derrieres glued to our seats staring blankly at screens exercising little more than our thumbs. A perfect toboggan ride down a steep hill can’t hold a candle to owning the latest, fastest phone or tablet filled with apps and games. Gadgets rule the roost and children’s health suffers. It’s easy to see why the local Health Units are trying to steer kids in a healthier direction. Thinking back, we rarely had more than one chubby kid in our class all through public school. I don’t think the same can be said today.

Information gathering project can help reduce Hastings bridge closure anxiety

By Bill Freeman

News – Hastings – Developing a confidential database cataloguing the needs and concerns of Hastings area residents as they face a temporary bridge closure as well as volunteers willing to offer their skills and assistance is a key step in being prepared when repair work shuts down the Lock 18 swing bridge in early 2015, cutting off the village’s north and south sides.

A new federally-funded emergency preparedness initiative sponsored by the Municipality of Trent Hills and the Hastings Helpers is doing just that with Melody MacDonald in charge of information gathering and connecting with local residents who’ll need assistance and those who can offer help on both sides of the bridge.

The database will be sortable in many different ways including by

street and emergency, MacDonald says, and will be used by the Hastings Helpers to provide assistance to residents when needed.

“We (also) hope to get a list of people who are able to drive people around the (sizeable) detour. Every level of helpfulness,” she said.

The database will stay with the municipality and can be amended and expanded so it can be accessed in any other emergency situations that might arise in the future.

“Our hope is that other municipalities will see what’s going on here and follow suit,” says MacDonald, noting the recent ice storm-related power outages that left thousands of people stranded and worried for days.

“It will be something that will really be a base we can build on to be prepared in case of an emergency.”

MacDonald has office hours at

the Hastings Civic Centre Tuesdays (9 a.m. to noon) and Thursdays (6 p.m. to 8 p.m.) and will hold two public meetings, January 17 (10 a.m. to noon) and February 19 (7 p.m. to 9 p.m.), to explain more about her work as well as to gather more information. She’ll wrap up the project March 6.

She says she had responses almost immediately after the pamphlets were released.

“I was amazed. I didn’t expect any until the meetings got going.”

There is “anxiety over the bridge” which has to be repaired, she says.

MacDonald, who lives on the south side of Hastings, shares those apprehensions but stresses that her job is to collect as much information as she can so officials and volunteers can be as ready as possible.

“I don’t want people to get the

wrong impression, I’m not here to give them the answers; I’m only here to collect the information and see if there is somebody who can fill those needs within our area,” she said.

“It’s about reassuring them and letting people know that the community is there for them. I do understand what they’re going through. I have my own anxieties.

For people not being able to cross the bridge, they will feel cut off.

They will feel that kind of anxiety; we need to help them through this as a community. The bridge has to be repaired, the best we can do is be prepared for it and be creative.”

“Each individual will have their own set of issues,” MacDonald said.

If MacDonald has to go doorto-door to make sure all seniors’ concerns get into the database she says she will.

Melody MacDonald is gathering information from people with special needs who will need assistance when the Hastings swing bridge is closed temporarily for repairs. She has office hours at the Civic Centre on Tuesday (9 a.m. to noon) and Thursday (6 p.m. to 8 p.m.). The confidential information will be used by the Hastings Helpers to assist people during the closure. Photo: Bill Freeman

gion and we are pleased to extend the reach of the network to these important business hubs,� said EOWC Chair Rick Philips, who is also the Warden of Hastings County. “Expanding high-capacity, high speed Internet fibre to these business parks will help our communities to attract and retain local businesses,� added Peterborough County Warden J. Murray Jones. “We continue to work with EORN on initiatives in the Peterborough county area.� “Thanks to prudent financial management and project oversight, we are able to deliver this added value to business parks as part of the ERON initiative, ERON chair David Burton said.

Burton said they expect to complete the construction of the business parks in 2014.

EORN was established by the Warden’s Caucus to manage expansion of the rural broadband network in Eastern Ontario. It includes a 5,500 fibre optic backbone and more than a dozen local access networks that will increase Internet speeds and services to 95 per cent of the households in the region by 2014.

EORN is the province’s largest rural broadband network serving a region of over one million people spread over 50,000 square kilometres. The federal and provincial governments have each committed up to $55 million

News - Peterborough County – In a boost to the region’s economic development, the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus (EWOC) has awarded contracts to expand high-speed fibre Internet connections at more than 50 business parks and clusters across Eastern Ontario.

Bell Aliant, Cogeco Cable Inc. and Utilities Kingston were awarded contracts to provide the new high-capacity, high-speed fibre Internet connections. The project adds to the number of business parks and clusters that already have broadband service in the region.

The companies are building the new services off of their existing infrastructure as well as off the 5,500 kilometre fibre optic backbone that was built through the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN). A range of speeds and services will be available to serve the needs of business customers in these locations.

The $8.9 million business park project is the latest phase of the EORN project, a $170 million initiative to expand rural broadband throughout the region. The project was created by the Warden’s Caucus and is supported by all three levels of government as well as private sector investment. “EORN is a key economic development tool for the re-

The PCCHU is one of the few in the province that continues to offer free food handler’s certification courses. Over 13,000 have taken the course and received certification since 1997.

The course covers proper food handling techniques, with an emphasis on temperature control; legislation and the role of the health unit; chemical, physical and biological hazards in food; personal hygiene and cleaning and sanitizing. “Our goal, when it comes to food safety, is to prevent foodborne illness in the community and in food establishments as a whole so when we can educate employees and operators it will help us attain our goal,� public health inspector Julie Ingram told the Independent during a food handler’s certification course she gave in Havelock.

News – Peterborough County – A food handler’s bylaw designed by the Peterborough County-City Health Unit and approved by county and city councils is now in effect making it mandatory for high-risk food premises to have at least one certified food handler working in a supervisory capacity on site at all times.

High-risk food premises are those that handle food with “multiple preparation steps and/ or serve people at greatest health risks for food-borne illnesses� such as hospitals, nursing homes and some restaurants, the PCCHU says. “We look forward to working with our food premises partners to increase the number of certi-

The bylaw will extend to moderate-risk establishments on January 1, 2015. Moderaterisk food businesses include fast food restaurants, chip trucks and bakeries that have fewer preparation stages and “generally serve healthier populations.�

LIFESTYLES

Dan Clost Lifestyles - This past week I attended Canada’s largest horticultural tradeshow, Landscape Ontario Congress, held at the Congress Centre every January. To give you an idea of its size, it is the fifth largest show of its sort on the North American continent hosting some 600

exhibitors who manage to clutter up eight acres of showroom floor.

This means you need to arrive early or you’re walking over a mile just to get to the back door!

This is the show where folks in the trade meet. While non-green trade folk aren’t turned away, Congress is a place where friendships are renewed, research and education are main draws but, more than anything, business is done. A lot of time, money and effort go into such an event, including on the part of the “customers” and the atmosphere is friendly but very professional. Folks are expected to be well beyond Gardening 101 level and I have seen the odd “walk-in” sitting in a lecture completely overwhelmed by the technicality of the material being presented. For me, that is a very good thing because that is why I go to the show, along with spending some time in our company’s booth.

A show and two more shows Don’t worry overly much, Gentle Reader; Canada Blooms in March is the show for you. If you garden, if you sit near a garden, if you sit in a house and look out at a garden, there will be something for you at Blooms. Check this column in about a month and we’ll get gunned up on it.

So why would I talk about a trade show in a gardening column? I believe it is vitally important that you realise how concerned your landscapers and nursery suppliers are about the business. We need to offer you the best available, not just in an effort to bury the local competition, but because that is what we’re about. An industry professional, Perry Molema, told us that we are in the business of enhancing our customers’ lives. I’m confident in saying that truly is what most of us are about. Mind you, we do need to make a profit in order to stay in business and

that is not a bad thing.

Along with the floor exhibits, Landscape Ontario hosts numerous seminars, lectures and training sessions at this show covering new techniques, new tools, and new laws (especially new laws!) and new plants. Naturally I’m a titch partial to the last one.

Next time you chat with a professional green trade lad or lassie ask them about Congress. I think you’ll be surprised at the depth of their answer.

Two other shows: Benefit concert Long time readers of The Good Earth are aware of my love of homegrown music. When a show can be combined with a fund-raising event, I do my best to attend.

As it happens, I’ll be involved in both of the following: Folk For Haiti: a fund-raiser for the children of Haiti who have become orphans due to natural catastrophes. The first set of

2,200 loads of laundry. Life just gets monotonous.

The measurement of maturity, though, is whether or not one can forego immediate rewards for delayed gratification of better rewards. Too often people throw something away because they want the excitement of something new. Everything new, though, will eventually be old. Unless you want to cycle through constant change your whole life, at some point you’re going to have to decide to commit to someone or something.

Sometimes everyone needs a fresh start if the life they’re living is dangerous, abusive, or degrading. And sometimes we’re thrown into that fresh start through no fault of our own. Yet too often people chuck something just because it’s lost that “newness” feeling.

Yes, infatuation is heady, but you know what’s even better? Forty years of friends and family who can

Annual dinner

“The need for a community Christmas day dinner was very evident again this year,” Clarke said.

The dinner drew 92 people to the town hall for a full festive meal donated by all of the township’s churches. A team of 25 volunteers served the meal.

Clarke tips his hat to the municipality for donating the town hall free of charge and to the churches for supplying the food. A number of other supporters played crucial roles including J.J. Stewart Motors, the 7 Cruiser Car Club, the staff at Centennial Pharmacy, Ann Carlow, Susie and Graham Smith, Fred Begg, Jan and Joe Crowley, Barb and Paul Sherwin, Jessie Brown, Mary and Gary Rodgers, John Latone and Mary Benjamin and all of the other volunteers.

The blessing of a life well-lived And yet I know that behind all those smiling, laughing faces there were moments when things weren’t as rosy.

There were moments when even a Roger, the nicest guy you could ever meet, lost his temper. There were moments when he and Heather truly didn’t know what to do with some of their children. There were health problems and family problems and all those things that none of us can escape.

And yet, last night Roger and Heather stood with their arms around each other greeting their friends, beaming.

It’s a life well-lived.

The idea of forty plus years together with one person seems so daunting. Wouldn’t that get boring? Most of us suffer wanderlust at one time or another. We’re with the same person, day after day, with all these responsibilities, and we wonder, “What would life have been like if I had married my high school boyfriend?” Or we think, “I bet life would be a whole lot more exciting if I were with my coworker, who’s always the life of the party, rather than my husband, who is always grumpy.”

We want something new and something exciting, not something that we’ve had everyday for sixteen years, through 1,700 diaper changes, or

from Lightfoot to Tyson to Sylvia and mostly John Allan Cameron. By the way, it was his song that won the national challenge. Dave has significantly reduced his performance fee.

The show is a non-ticketed event and this is the only mainstream advertising you will see. Seating is limited so please contact me at dan.clost@gmail. com so we can keep track of numbers. Every penny of the proceeds will be divided between a family in dire need of mental health services for a child and the Trenton High School Emergency Fund. King Street United Church, February 9, starting at 2 p.m.

Reality Check:

Lifestyles - The best part of the sixty-fifth birthday party I attended last night, other than the Chinese buffet, was definitely the slide show. Of course black and white pictures of a cherubic-looking boy are always adorable, but it was those late teen years pictures, when a rather familiar looking girl starting showing up, that made me smile. And so we watched through 45 years of hilarious photos, with the wedding, the babies, the cottage, and then more weddings and now lots more babies. It’s a rich life.

When we first moved to Belleville, Roger became my husband Keith’s mentor, going out for coffee with him every so often and talking about work and parenting and marriage. Roger would, of course, be quick to tell you that the mentorship really went in the other direction. He’s the kind of person who genuinely enjoys and appreciates people.

So there he was last night, with his daughters directing the show (insisting they were being “decisive”, not “bossy”), and his wife grinning from ear to ear, as people praised him and told him about all the seniors’ discounts he could now claim.

Twelve hours later, though, it is still the pictures that keep flashing through my mind. They show heritage, dedication, and a whole lot of barbecuing.

music- folk/gospel selections will be presented by The Lenses of which I am a member. The second set will be folk/soft rock as played by RandR, a Brighton duo who are incredibly smooth and talented.

Please join us at Trinity Saint Andrews United Church in Brighton, 2 p.m. on January 26. Every penny of the proceeds will be taken directly to Haiti.

For cat lovers: A visit to Malaysia’s “Cat Museum”

The entrance to Kuching’s Cat Museum.

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - Kuching is the capital of the state of Sarawak on Borneo in Malaysia, and “Kucing” translates as “Cat” in Malay, so it’s rather appropriate that I found a “Cat Museum” in the city of Kuching, Malaysia. Some visitors might find this museum to be rather strange, even tacky, but if you’re a cat fan, then this could be the museum for you! It’s indeed, a rather unique museum, perhaps the only one of its kind in the world, and it features over 2,000 feline-related items. It not only contains a

Inside Kuching’s Cat Museum.

plethora of cat statues, photos, posters, jigsaw puzzles and even stamps (for cat loving philatelists) from all over the world, but it also offers a lot of information about the history and importance of cats in various cultures.

One of the museum’s galleries has fascinating accounts of the cat’s role in the Chinese, Egyptian, Japanese and Malay societies. For example, I discovered that many Malaysians believe that cats have special supernatural powers, and may bring luck; they’re therefore treated with great respect. Cats are the

zarre cat stories on display within the museum, such as the woman who decided to cremate her dead cat and mix the cat’s ashes into tattoo ink – and she then had a cat sketch tattooed onto her leg!

I also discovered that one entire section of the museum was dedicated to the five species of wild cats still found in this part of the world. The museum claims to have the only mounted specimen of the world’s rarest cat, the Felis Badia, which is only found in Borneo’s rain forests.

The cat’s significance in music is also ‘noted’ in this museum, for there’s a reference to such songs as “The Cat Came Back” (from the late 1800’s) and “Kitten on the Keys” (a jazz classic from 1921) – and, of course, the famous musical, “Cats” (based on poetry by T.S. Eliot).

The Kuching Cat Museum is located in the North City Hall, on Bukit Siol, a hill with a great view of the city. It’s free to visit this unusual, unique museum, but there’s a charge for using a camera. It’s open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday, including public holidays.

You can see the Sarawak River from up here, which used to be the city’s main highway and it’s still very important, for much of present day life is concentrated along this river. I found that the narrow, bustling streets near the river were crammed with ornate temples, markets, historic buildings and traditional shops selling local handicrafts and foods.

In addition to the Kuching Cat Museum and the city’s cat statues, you’ll want to check out some other points of interest while visiting this part of Malaysia, including the Chinese Museum (it’s free), a ceramics factory (Sarawak is famous for its unusually decorated earthenware vases of all shapes and sizes), the Sarawak Museum, the Sarawak Cultural Village, and the Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (where I saw endangered orangutans – and wrote about them in a previous article).

I discovered that the Kuching Cat Museum was divided into four main galleries – and it certainly contained a lot of entertaining memorabilia and information for any feline aficionado.

most impressive displays that I found within the museum was a mummified Egyptian cat that dated back to about 3500 BC. I learned that the ancient Egyptians certainly revered these animals. There was even a period of time when cats were considered so valuable and important that a person who killed a cat could be put to death, too! The Egyptians were the first to domesticate cats, and I found out that ancient Egyptians often shaved their eyebrows in mourning when the family cat died. The Egyptians even had a cat goddess, Bastet, who protected crops, made rain and symbolized motherhood.

most popular pet to be found in this country and Kuching has several cat sculptures within the city, especially along the Pandungan Road and along the waterfront, to honour this feline creature. One of the sculptures near the city’s entrance, has a cat standing with its paw stretched out, as if welcoming guests to this city. In the museum itself, one of the posters advocates the importance and reliability of the pet cat in the Malay home: “HE WON’T DO THE DISHES, BUT HE”LL BE THERE WHEN YOU NEED HIM.” As I entered and exited the Kuching Cat Museum, I walked through the giant mouth of a cat, and among the

Campbellford entrepreneur hopes to score big with his pond hockey apparel Business – Campbellford – Local entrepreneur Rob Carleton has taken pond hockey to a new level and he’s hoping to score big with his latest venture as he prepares to audition for an appearance on the popular reality TV show Dragon’s Den. His company, Original Pond Gear, has already made inroads in the marketplace, the result of some creative stick handling by Carleton.

“Launched in 2012 Original Pond Gear (OPG) is a clothing company providing quality apparel items for the passionate outdoor hockey players,” explained Carleton.

Tested online first, it soon became evident the hoodies, t-shirts, sweatshirts, trapper hats and more were hot items, melting any concerns Carleton and his partner had about the product.

When Ron McLean from Coach’s Corner appeared on Hockey Day in Canada wearing an OPG hoodie last year, Carleton said their website exploded!

His partner, Tim McAllister, originally from Kingston, played hockey with Carleton when they attended Carleton University.

“Tim went on to get a scholarship in Huntsville, Alabama and now he runs Nashville Youth Hockey and trains the Nashville Predators,” said Carleton.

They decided to take their product across Canada.

To make a long story short, Carleton pitched his gear to Steve McCarthy, who is the previous dealer of the Canadian Tire store in Campbellford, but now has a store in Toronto.

“He said it was a great idea so he got me in the door to have a meeting with the buyer of Canada for Canadian Tire,” said Carleton, whose skills and experience won him the marketing manager of the year award for all of Canada in 2007 while working for Boston Pizza.

After learning that the Canadian Tire Kingston outlet is the highest grossing outlet in terms of hockey

equipment sales in Canada he decided to shoot for that store, hoping to score.

The six degrees of separation theory seemed to be working for him.

“My partner who lives in Nashville is best friends with the owner of the store in Kingston.

Their product was soon on sale there.

“I wanted to pick one more store and test the waters so I thought Campbellford is my hometown, it would be great to sell my gear here,” said Carleton.

He approached the Canadian Tire Associate dealer, Aaron Macanuel, who thought it was a great idea.

Macanuel commented on the pond gear, “We are proud to support a local Campbellford business and carry such a high quality apparel offering from Original Pond Gear for our customers. Since launching in our store, customer

response has been phenomenal as people were ecstatic to find out that they can now buy OPG in a store locally, giving them a chance to touch, feel and try on the great line-up of hoodies, shirts and hats.”

“It touched me because I am making a run at this and it’s in my hometown,” added Carleton.

He has now also “partnered up” with the Peterborough Petes and the Niagara Ice Dogs of the Ontario Hockey League. Their players wear the gear and he also gives out the OPG Peterborough Petes Player of the Month Award.

And it’s being endorsed by some big names including former NHLer Kris King, the senior vice president of the National Hockey League.

Carleton hopes King’s schedule will allow him to attend the Dragon’s Den investors with him.

“We hope to score big and end zone,” said Carleton. the company go to the comget some backing to take this To learn more about OPG pany’s website: www.originalcompany even further into the and the big names endorsing pondgear.com

WW II tailgunner delights, awes crowd

By Bill Freeman

Bomber Command starting with his first “boot camp” at Brandon, Manitoba arriving out west as a 19-year-old in January, 1943 three months after joining up.

With just six months of high school, Porter said he couldn’t train as a pilot because of his lack of education but that didn’t stop him from excelling at the Preschool Aircrew Educational Detachment at McGill University in Montreal where he graduated in four weeks.

“It takes most people four years to graduate (from McGill),” he quipped.

From there it was off to air gunner’s school in Quebec City and then to England in September, 1943 via the Queen Mary and more “education” at Welsbourne, Gaydon and Topcliffe where he trained on the four-engine Halifax which he called a “beautiful aircraft.” From Topcliffe he moved on to Leeming, England and 427 Squadron.

Porter, then a Sergeant Airgunner, got a taste of hell in air on his first mission, which cost Bomber Command 42 aircraft.

He recalled one harrowing mission during which they were attacked by a Junker 88 while return-

ing to England.

“I hit him first; didn’t knock him down but he didn’t come back.”

There was another terrifying mission when they targeted a German officer’s rest and recreation facility near Volkel, Holland, but during the attack they lost all navigational equipment including the airspeed indicator.

Because of this “they swung a little too wide over Rotterdam.

“They (the Germans) didn’t want us there at all and we got ten shells on the right side and five on the port side.”

They landed in southern England to assess the damage which “was quite extensive.

“We had 120 big holes. I didn’t know how many small ones.”

When they landed one tire exploded. It took two days for a repair crew to meet them. When they landed at Leeming they lost another tire.

Porter was part of missions that bombed oil refineries, coastal guns, ammunition factories and dumps in the Ruhr Valley, VI launching sites and German U-Boat pens across France, Germany, Holland, Norway and Belgium. He was discharged in November, 1945.

Dynamic literary night will kick off 2014

By Bill Freeman

Lifestyles – Asphodel-Norwood – The Cat Sass Coffeehouse in Norwood will kick off a new year of literary offerings with a dynamic and stylish offering February 8 featuring three compelling artists: Emily PohlWeary, Peterborbough’s Holly Bennett and another Peterborough-based artist, photographer and writer Esther Vincent.

Pohl-Weary is an award-winning writer who has published six books, a series of comics and a literary magazine and is receiving strong reviews for her latest teen novel “Not Your Ordinary Wolf Girl” which follows the fortunes of teen rock star Sam Lee who plays bass for an all-girl indie band. One night after a concert in Central Park she is attacked by a wild dog.

The life of the long-time vegetarian changes forever.

“With teenage angst, a love quadrangle, a fantasy element that should be silly but isn’t, and a strong female heroine who is anything but a hapless damsel in distress, Pohl-Weary’s late

Young Adult title offers a welcome twist on the paranormal genre,” Cara Smusiak wrote of the novel in Quill and Quire.

She is currently working on a new teen novel and her second collection of poetry. For more information visit www.emilypholweary.com .

Esther Vincent tells stories through photography, theatre and language. The Peterborough-based photographer has had 11 plays and three movement works produced for stage; she has had her work published in magazines, journals and anthologies. You can learn more about her work at www.evmustang.ca .

In addition to her latest book Redwing, Holly Bennett is the author of The Bonemender Young Adult series: The Bonemender, The Bonemeder’s Oath and The Bonemender’s Choice.

She has also written two novels inspired by Irish mythology, The Warrior’s Daughter and Shapeshifter.

For 25 years she was the editor of Today’s Parent Special

News – Asphodel-Norwood – David Earl Porter is a lucky man; lucky in having had a long, distinguished family life that included a 25-year air force career and joyful fishing in the fruitful rivers of Grey County.

The 90-year-old Oxenden, Ontario native is also lucky to have survived 37 Bomber Command missions as a tail gunner on a 427 Lion Squadron Handley Page Halifax that flew sorties of Europe between April and October of 1944. The average Bomber Command crew did not make it past 15 missions during a frighteningly dangerous campaign that claimed 55,573 allied airmen; 10,000 of the 50,000 Canadians who served in Bomber Command were killed.

The genial Porter was one of two guest speakers at the Norwood Legion’s annual honours and awards gala Saturday night. He is now a member of Branch 300 and shared guest speaker’s role with Sergeant Dave Deremo, a small arms training officer with the Hastings Prince Edward Regiment.

Taoist Tai Chi provides wide range of health, wellness benefits

By Bill Freeman

Lifestyles – Asphodel-Norwood – Taoist Tai Chi continues its steady growth in local popularity with classes set to resume in Norwood and Campbellford, including a health and recovery program at the Community Living building in Campbellford.

“Some of the benefits are astounding,” says instructor Blanche Collinson of Hastings who teaches classes in Norwood as well as the Thursday afternoon health recovery class in Campbellford.

Collinson has attended classes and workshops at the International Taoist Tai Chi Centre near Orangeville several times including ones dedicated to health recovery.

“You almost have to see it to believe it, it’s pretty powerful,” she told the Independent during an open house last week at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre’s Millennium Room where classes take place Tuesday morning (10 a.m. to noon) and Wednesday evening (6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.).

Taoist Tai Chi is based on the martial

arts “but much more gentle (with) slow relaxing movements,” says Collinson.

“We’re more based on the health and wellness side of it. It’s a whole different approach. The way we get into a move is a whole different perspective.”

Collinson has been involved with Tai Chi for nearly 11 years after joining friends at a class following the death of her husband. She was hooked.

“Now that I’ve done it for 11 years I find that I’m a lot more flexible than I was 20 years ago and in really good health. I think that’s a major thing to think about, especially with an aging population.

When I’m feeling more flexible than I did 20 years ago that says a lot.”

“It is a total stress reliever. You feel calmer; it is so quiet and rejuvenating,” Collinson says of the “soft internal martial art” that consists of 108 movements and “foundation exercises specifically designed for improving health and holistic sense.”

She says she “kind of resisted” when asked to become an instructor. But that resistance ended quickly because Taoist Tai Chi Society “makes it easy” to learn

how to become an instructor.

“They encourage you to help out in class, then you co-instruct; that’s how you get started as a beginner, introductory instructor.”

Becoming a “continuing instructor” is “a little more complicated” and requires time spent at the International Centre.

“You have to improve your Tai Chi in order to teach it and you have to keep working on it all the time. The learning doesn’t ever stop; it is a continuous thing like peeling an onion.”

And what she has discovered beyond the individual moves is more about the “internal feeling, because it is an internal as well as an external thing.

“The more you learn the more internal you would realize, at first you wouldn’t even think about it. It makes you more aware of your body.”

The classes welcome people of all levels of experience, she stresses.

“Every class is different (and) everyone learns at their own level.”

For more information on local classes you can call (705) 696-1841 or email peterborough@taoist.org

Hear the pounding of the drums Entertainment - Colourful costumes, determined choreography and the rhythmic sounds of Japanese culture are invading Belleville and Kingston this month with the Quinte Children’s Theatre (QCT) presentation of Japanese taiko drum group Fubuki Daiko, and Ted Howe, artistic director for the QCT said it’s all about offering children and families access to the best and most engaging entertainment possible.

“I’m just sort of fed up with what’s passing as children’s entertainment these days... it’s essentially just foam heads,” Howe said. “People are paying $25 a ticket to go and see what isn’t fully engaged theatre. In other words, the performers are on stage with these foam heads, but they’re not reactive to the audience because they’re simply moving to cued dialogue and music... it’s not really theatre.”

Taking place on January 18 at 1p.m. in Belleville at Maranatha Church

and January 22 at 7 p.m. at Sydenham Street United Church in Kingston, Fubuki Daiko is a taiko drum group that regularly tours North America. Taiko drumming finds its roots in ancient Japanese culture, where it took a variety of forms from marching troops to war to celebrating the harvest, but in modern times is largely a performance art that also includes instruments such as the flute.

“To me it’s all part of giving children and families the opportunity to experience art that is unique,” Howe said.

“It’s dance, it’s rhythm, it’s beautiful to watch and beautiful to listen to.”

A retired kindergarten teacher, Howe said providing affordable, quality entertainment for children and families is they key tenet for the QCT, and that 2014 already has a promising slate of singers, songwriters, theatre companies and dance companies lined up for performances. While the vast majority of QTC shows are held in Belleville at

Maranatha Church, Howe said Fubuki Daiko offered a unique opportunity when they planned Belleville visit.

After speaking with group director Hiroshi Koshiyama, Howe was able to arrange for an additional performance in Kingston on january 22, but was also able to arrange for several school shows for Belleville and Kingston students after speaking with local school principals.

Tickets are now on sale for both performances, and cost just $7.50 in advance and $10 at the door. Howe said the low ticket price was thanks to the generous donations of ther sponsors, and the fact that QTC is a non-profit organization with no paid staff.

To purchase tickets, visit www. quintechildrenstheatre.ca or call 613967-0255, ext. 3.

Winnipeg-based taiko drum group Fubuki Daiko will visit Belleville and Kingston later this month.

Rowing and Paddling Club kicks off fundraising with a Curling Club Funspiel

By Kate Everson

Sports – Quinte West – It’s fun to curl!

At least that’s what the Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club hopes will inspire people to sign up for its second annual Funspiel on February 1 at the Trenton Curling Club.

“We have members of our club and the curling club participating,” says co-chair Robin Pilon.

“There are still individual spots available.”

She says people can sign up at $60 each (including lunch and prizes) by calling the Chamber of Commerce at 613-392-7635 or emailing her at info@trentonrowingandpaddlingclub.ca for more information. The Funspiel will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with two four-end games as well

as on- and off-ice games.

“People can also come and watch,” she adds. “We will be having a silent auction and early bird membership special. They can learn more about the club.”

The club is currently waiting for the ice to melt in the river to get paddling. The season runs from mid-April to October, weather-dependent.

Paddling memberships include lessons, group paddles, paddle excursions, and special events including the Canada Day paddle.

“It’s our second season and we have over 50 members,” Robin says.

She notes that the Funspiel funds will go towards youth programming and safety equipment.

“We need more canoes, kayaks and sculls,” she says. “We

also need life jackets, buckets, tows and whistles for safety.”

Anyone interested in getting a head start on the season can take dry land training at the YMCA in a special course put on by the club, or can sign up for the Paddle Smart Training on February 8 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. upstairs at the Trenton Curling Club. The course is free to members or $15 for new members with limited (20) registration. Register to reserve a spot.

A signed framed poster promoting the Funspiel designed by illustrator Marc Keelan-Bishop will be part of the silent auction on February 1. Anyone wishing to contribute items for the auction or make a donation can drop them off at the Chamber of Commerce before the event.

Getting ready to participate in the Funspiel are: (l-r) Kit McCandie (co-chair), Dave Melanson, Glenda Bruynson (Trenton Curling Club manager), Judi Rutley, Mary Meiklejohn, Maureen Garrett, Donna Corrigan, Doug Rutley, Robin Pilon (co-chair).

Warkworth historical society fading into history

By John Campbell

Warkworth – The Warkworth-Percy Historical Society has all but disappeared but its longstanding efforts to preserve local history continue unabated.

“We dissolved a year ago,” said the society’s last chair, Bob Rowe. “We decided the interest just wasn’t there to carry on.

“There wasn’t enough members ... (and) the turnouts (for guest speakers)

weren’t that great,” he said. “It just got to the point where you’d hate to ask somebody.”

However, a core group of society volunteers – Rowe, Maureen Lennon, Dorothy Smooker, Noreen Luke and George McCleary – still meet periodically to oversee what’s to become of the archives kept at the Warkworth Memorial Community Centre.

Rowe said he and the others went through the collection and “thinned it

down a fair bit,” removing redundant and “trivial stuff.”

The remaining work was turned over to a couple of local high school students last September. The two, Virginia Steinmann and Kasey Everden, spend a couple of hours twice a week scanning material to be posted on the website that will continue to provide an online presence for the organization.

“We’re going to try to pick up the pace on the scanning and (have) some

of the rest of us get involved in that end of it, too,” Rowe said. Although the decision to disband the group was inevitable, “I hated to see it but you have to face reality.”

Now, “our intent is to preserve everything we’ve got and have it down there for years to come,” Rowe said, “before we’re completely defunct.”

Smooker said the CampbellfordSeymour Heritage Society and the Northumberland County archives in

Cobourg “are going to keep some” of what Warkworth had, such as newspapers.

“We didn’t have a whole lot of artifacts,” Smooker knew the end was coming because the number of active members declined considerably and insurance costs kept climbing.

“Everybody struggles to find more volunteers,” Trent Hills Councillor Kim McNeil noted.

Couple adopts two cats after seeing them in this newspaper’s free ads walking on my head, cats do that, and that is what she did, but only one night.

Now we hear her in the house spinning around entertaining herself,” said Rigby with a smile.

“I’ve had a dog my whole entire life since I was a kid. It was my sister that had the cats in the family,” said Reid.

“I guess I wasn’t a cat person . . . then,” Reid said, while giving Skid a pat.

Both agree having animals is making their life richer.

“They are just nice to have around.

There’s something missing when there’s not an animal in the house. When you come home there’s a void,” said Reid.

To ease the transition into their home the couple put a dog bed behind their couch.

“We put that there because Skid spent a lot of time behind the couch when she first came here. She can sit in there,” Rigby explained.

She is behind the couch less often now.

Cats rescued by CCSNI, founded by Suzanne Hart of Havelock, are from the streets and back roads of Northumberland County.

The feral cats are spayed or neutered and put back in their colonies.

Kittens are put up for adoption.

Because they have so many cats and kittens now this non-profit group has recently cut its fees in half - $75 for kittens and $50 for cats.

News – Trent Hills – Two furry felines have found their “forever” home after being featured in an ad in The Trent Hills Independent as part of an ongoing series showcasing cats rescued by the Cat Care Spay Neuter Initiative (CCSNI).

“I remember throwing out the kitty litter scoop after our last cat and saying I am never going to do it again. Then we saw the ad featuring Peaches,” said Gordon Rigby.

He and Helen Reid live in a home in the country near Havelock and both have had dogs and cats most of their lives.

In fact Skamp, an American Cocker Spaniel, adopted four years ago, was

there to greet Peaches who was adopted just last week.

“It’s sad to think somebody had Skamp for eight years. The Humane society said he was found wandering the streets,” said Rigby.

To make Peaches their own they have named her Skid.

“We sort of picked her because she was cute and Gord likes the colour orange,” said Reid, who scooped up Skid from behind the couch.

She’s only been in their care for a couple of weeks and is still getting used to the new surroundings.

“We were concerned about her being a nuisance at night, you know, like

OF THE

WEEK!

Helen Reid and Gordon Rigby, who live near Havelock, recently adopted “Peaches”nownamed “Skid” from the Cat Care Spay Neuter Initiative (CCSNI). This past weekend the couple decided to find her a buddy and adopted “Slippers” now named “Jack”.

and have their shots,” said Rigby.

In fact the couple thought it is such a great deal they got a buddy for Skid on the weekend adopting another CCSNI cat named Slipper – now named Jack.

He was rescued when he was about one week old with his mother and brother from a garage.

“The only disadvantage (other than

training them not to claw furniture) is if they get on your lap and you are watching TV you can’t get up . . . So we keep the phone and remote close by,” said Rigby grinning.

To give a cat/kitten a “forever” home check out the ad in this newspaper each week.

Man charged after vehicle collides with deer

News - Alnwick-Haldimand – A Warkworth man was charged with possession of marijuana after police investigated a collision involving a car and deer on County Road 29 January 11.

Northumberland OPP said the deer collided with a 2010 Hyundai Accent shortly before 6:50 a.m. Following a

search of the vehicle, the driver, Michol John Kirkston Krakenberg, 28, was charged with having more than 30 grams of marijuana in his possession.

He was also charged with two counts of failing to comply with a probation order, and failing to surrender an insurance card under the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act.

to find a loving forever family of his very own. He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations.

Cat Care Spay Neuter Initiative (CCSNI) is in urgent need of foster homes. If you think you can help please call us and talk to us about it.

We are going to reduce our adoption fees by 1/2 to try to get some more adoptions - so the fees will be $75 for kittens and $50 for cats.

Slippers is a real cutie, with spots and stripes.

He was rescued when he was about 1 week old with his mother and brother from a garage, where the owner was going to dispose of them.

Slippers loves to play with his best friend Ginny and his brother Terwilliger. Slippers also plays well alone. He likes to sit on your lap.

We think that Slippers will be a small cat when he grows up as his mom is a very petite little lady.

Slippers is just over 8 months old now and ready

CCSNI will be at Paulmac’s for an adoptathon January 10, 11 and 12 and will have some of our cats there those days.

IN MEMORIAM

On January 6 in Brighton, aged 92.

Predeceased by husband Waldemar (Val). Mother of Kenneth (Gail) and Sylvia (Terry) and grandmother of Jeffrey, Liam and Meaghan.

Ruth was born in Germany and trained in textile engineering. During World War II, she worked as a journalist in occupied Poland. In January 1945, she narrowly escaped the Russians and fled to Berlin, where she worked for the German News Bureau translating Allied army reports.

After the war, Ruth was a translator at the International Relief Organization in Wurzburg, Germany where she met and married Val. They immigrated to Canada, settling in Montreal. After Val retired, the couple moved to Burlington, ON and later to Brighton, ON. Ruth was a painter and writer. In 2009, she published Journey to Peace, an autobiographical novel of the life of ordinary Germans under the Nazi regime.

Many thanks to the staff at Applefest Lodge and to Dr. Iris Noland for their excellent care. Donations may be made in Ruth’s memory to Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Donald P. Shanahan Dec. 16, 1944 – Jan. 17, 2012 When everything is dark, when we are surrounded by despairing voices, when we do not see any exits, then we can find salvation in a remembered love, a love which is not simply a recollection of a bygone past but a living force which sustains us in the present. Through memory, love transcends the limits of time and offers hope at any moment of our lives.

Lovingly remembered always, Kathryn, Steve, Meghan, Ian and Molly

Discussion about “Canada’s game” healthy, academy coach says

By Bill Freeman

Sports – Asphodel-Norwood – Nothing sparks a good debate in this country like the weather or Canada’s place in the upper, upper echelons of the hockey world.

That was certainly the case after the world junior hockey championships where Canada lost in the semifinals to eventual gold-medal winners Finland, then failed to earn a medal after falling to Russia. It was Canada’s second

tournament in a row without a medal and the country hasn’t glittered in gold since 2009.

National head coach Brent Sutter teed up the debate with some candid comments that won support from many quarters but were questioned by others, including octogenarian fashion horse Don Cherry.

“There’s too much focus on winning and losing at such a young age and not enough about the skill part of it,” Sutter

was quoted as saying. “I think there are times (when) there is too much focus on winning and losing and x’s and o’s at a young age and not enough on developing the skill sets.”

Sutter’s words were welcomed by Brian Hayton, teacher and head coach at Norwood District High School’s Hockey Canada Skills Academy, who believes it is always healthy to have discussions about hockey development.

“I believe there is some validity to

his comments,” said Hayton, a former Ontario Hockey League coach and Los Angeles Kings draft pick who played in two Memorial Cups. He also coached the Team Ontario U-17 squad to two straight world championships in 1997 and 1998.

“I certainly have a lot of respect for him and what (he’s done),” he said. “I agree with what he’s saying from the standpoint that in many cases there is probably too much emphasis on winning

at a young age. For the European countries it’s all about skill, they have a much higher practice-to-game ratio.

“The thing about it is that it doesn’t really show up at a young age; it starts to show up at the national junior level, the world championships,” Hayton said. “The Europeans, especially the Scandinavians are developing some highly, highly skilled players.”

Hayton said he didn’t “feel (Sutter) was using it as an excuse.

“It’s a read on where things are at; he’s seen it from lots of different perspectives. I feel that’s one of the plusses of our skills academy, it’s an opportunity for kids to work on skills over a long period of time. Hockey is Canada’s game but the rest of the world has followed and is growing.”

“We expect gold and are not satisfied with anything but and other countries have caught up and we have to be aware of it.”

Hayton says it’s almost hard to grasp how much pressure is placed on those teenagers to win a world title.

“I felt that once they got down (against Finland) they really looked like they had the weight of the world on their shoulders and it’s really difficult to play that way. Even professional players, when they put too much pressure on themselves things don’t flow. I felt that was a big part of the Canadian game, especially in the semifinals.”

Finland “deserved a lot of credit” for Brian Hayton, head coach and teacher at Norwood District High School’s their victories, Hayton said.

“They were good with the puck but Hockey Canada Skills Academy, says Canada’s national junior hockey coach Brent Sutter made some valid points after his team failed to win a medal at they checked so well and didn’t leave much ice at all for Canada.” this world championships in Malmo, Sweden.

Petes will practice in Campbellford, invite local players to join

By John Campbell

Sports - Campbellford – The Peterborough Petes will hold a onehour practice at the Campbellford arena February 3 and then welcome members of the Campbellford Minor Hockey Association to join them for an open skate afterward.

It promises to be “a fun time,� CMHA president Owen Brunton said.

It doesn’t end there. Players from the Campbellford Colts’ Peewee rep and local league teams will get to play an inter-squad game at the Memorial Centre in Peterborough, February 17, before the Petes take on the North Bay Battalion, starting at 2 p.m.

And during one of the intermissions, Campbellford’s Tykes will hold a scrimmage.

The event, which will take place on Family Day in Ontario, is being billed as Colts Day at the Petes.

The Ontario Hockey League team’s practice in Campbellford, from 5 to 6 p.m., followed by the open skate from 6 to 7 p.m., is being sponsored by the RBC. Two of Campbellford’s teams began the first round of the playoffs last Sunday and both dropped the opener of their six-point

High-flying Generals clip Vipers

By Bill Freeman

Sports – Asphodel-Norwood – Coming off an impressive 3-2 win over the first-place Brantford Blast, the high-flying Stoney Creek Generals used a strong third period to clip the Norwood J.J. Stewart Motors Vipers 8-4 in Allan Cup Hockey Senior “AAA� action Sunday night.

The Generals, new to the league this year, improved to 8-7-1-1 and with their two weekend wins inched to within two points of the third-place Whitby Dunlops (10-4-0-0) who needed overtime to beat the Welland Whalers 6-5 Saturday night. Norwood (2-12-0-0) will host the Whalers (2-9-31) January 19 at the AsphodelNorwood Community Centre and will try to put and end to

their ten-game losing streak.

It was a back-and-forth game Sunday with Norwood’s Ryan Toms opening the scoring early in the first period from Brendan Curry and Ryan Rinneard. But the Generals fought back with three straight goals including two 23 seconds apart near the end of the frame.

A Vipers goal by Mark Prentice, with assists from Chris Johnston and Darren Doherty, with 33 seconds left in the period tightened the score at 3-2.

Stoney Creek went ahead 4-2 at the 1:28 mark of the second on a powerplay goal by Ryan Moore but goals by Doherty and Coby Andrews evened things at 4-4.

The Peewees will be looking to avenge their loss with the next game at home Friday at 7:30 p.m. Game three is Saturday in Lakefield and if a fourth game is required, it will take place in Campbellford at 1:30 p.m.

Young high school teams use big tourney as measuring gauge

By Bill Freeman

Sports – Asphodel-Norwood – With the exam break looming and the end of season near, the Campbellford District High Flames and Norwood District Knights enjoyed their experience at the 11th annual St. Peter’s Classic high school hockey tourney last week.

With 54 teams, the Classic is the largest high school hockey tournament in Ontario was the perfect “measuring stick� for the two team as they turn their attention to the Kawartha League playoffs. “The tourney is fantastic hockey,�

Flames coach Jason Masters said. “It definitely gives you an opportunity to see outside your own league (and) where your team rates and what you’ve got to work on. “It’s a great experience for our guys coming off the Christmas break and having three games in one day. It will help us get our flow back and work on any kinks we may have,� Masters Norwood District High players Alex Barrett Lachapelle and Addisiane Freeland try to corral the loose said. puck in front of East Northumberland Dragons goalie Anthony Bertucci during the St. Peter’s High The Flames bowled over the East School Hockey Classic tournament. Norwood defeated the Brighton school 5-0. Photo: Bill Freeman Northumberland Dragons 5-1 but fell

to the North Hastings Huskies 3-0 and Norwood 3-1 in close decisions in “C� division action. The tourney traditionally draws some of the best teams from across Ontario and even included a couple of teams from Quebec this year. “You get three games in after the break and it gets the players back into the groove,� Knights coach Brian Hayton added. “It’s a good measuring stick and you get a chance to play some teams not in our league.�

The tournament featured a shortened game format with just two periods, which required strategic adjustments. “You really have to be ready right off the go,� said Hayton. The Knights lost a tight 2-1 one game to North Hastings then blanked ENSS 5-0 before edging their rivals from Campbellford 3-1. “We had a little slow start against North Hastings, got stronger but ran out of time,� Hayton noted. “Against North Hastings we came out a little sluggish at the start,� said Masters. “It would have been a little different if we came out flying. The

games are shorter so you have to come out flying. If you take five to seven minutes to get into the game that’s seven minutes you’re not going to get back.�

Masters likes what he’s seeing in the young Flames squad, which is evenly balanced between grade nine and ten players and seniors in grade 11 and 12. “Our hustle’s always been there, our defensive game has always been there.

What I’d like to see our boys do is get a little more creative in the offensive zone; we have a lot of talent out there. I just don’t think we’re using our talent to the fullest. We can be more creative.�

Hayton says the Knights are “coming along pretty well. “We’re focussing a lot on controlling the puck and moving the puck,� he says. “Our style has always to try to be a puck possession team. We still have some room to grow there, in particular that first pass out of the defensive zone which can start our offense. We’re throwing the puck around a little to carelessly still.�

Sports - Campbellford – The Campbellford Rebels have won five of six to move into second place in the Empire B Junior C Hockey League.

They leapfrogged the Amherstview Jets with a 3 - 0 road victory over their rivals January 12. Kevin Valdes earned his first shutout and eighth win of the season, stopping 22 shots. Campbellford scored all three of its goals in the first period, with two of them, by Joshua Leavey and the team’s leading scorer, Ryan Crowley, coming just nine seconds apart midway through the frame. For Crowley, the team’s leading scorer with 41 points, it was his 12th goal.

TJ Patterson opened the scoring at 6:32.

The win, the Rebels’ third straight over the Jets since early December, lifted the team into second spot with 34 points, one more than Amherstview and the Port Hope Panthers.

Campbellford remains well back of the Pirate Pirates, who sit atop the league with 61 points, and are responsible for the Rebels’ two losses in their last seven games. The latest took place at Campbellford January 11 when the visitors won 5 - 3, despite being shut out on nine power plays and yielding three shorthanded goals.

Cole Hamilton, Andy Paul and Andrew Doxtator scored

for the home side, who were outshot 39-33. The loss evened Cole Mahoney’s record in net at eight wins and eight losses plus a shootout loss.

The Rebels started off the weekend by downing the storm at Deseronto 7 - 2, handing the host team its 26th loss in 29 contests. Crowley and Jon Samis each scored twice. Paul, Patterson and Nick Ferguson also scored. Crowley added four assists, while Paul, Samis and William Lameroux had two apiece.

With nine games left on its schedule, Campbellford plays host to the Napanee Raiders this Saturday (7:30 p.m.) and the Panthers on Sunday (6:30 p.m.).

Ed Stapley, include Tom Tanner, Glenda Tanner and Eunice Stapley.

Two years ago the Norwood Lions Club won the bonspiel.

The bonspiel was organized by Lyn Forgrave, who has been curling since 1986 at the local club and

elsewhere.

“I curl regularly in the leagues here and I also organize this tournament because I am a Lion,” he told the Trent Hills Independent.

The tournament saw teams from Campbellford, Keene and Stirling competing.

The bonspiel was started a decade ago to honour Mel McKeown, one of the original member of the

curling club, explained Forgrave.

Since his passing it has become a memorial bonspiel.

“We have a lot of our own club members and outsiders but the curlers are not all Lions. A lot of them are new curlers and for some of them it’s their first bonspiel,” commented Forgrave.

“It’s really just for fun,” he added.
