News – Asphodel-Norwood – The municipality is conďŹ dent that a water billing model in Norwood based on consumption will create a “more equitableâ€? billing system.

That was the thrust of a public meeting on Norwood’s 2014 water and sewer rates which also explained the new phased-in metered billing system which uses a combined base charge with a consumption rate.

The three-year phase-in starts in 2014 with bills calculated on a 75 per cent ďŹ xed rate and 25 per cent per cubic meter consumption charge. For water the base rate is $24.11 with 49 cents per cubic meter charge; the sewage base rate is $35.85 with a volume charge of 71 cents per cubic meter.

Until the installation of meters Norwood water and sewer users pad a total monthly at rate of $76. “The consumption billing model encourages conservation and creates a more equitable billing system,â€? treasurer Melanie Stubbs told the wellattended meeting. Stubbs and municipal staff have been pouring over consumption data for more than a year to establish a fee structure that reects the true cost of providing water establishing the principle of fairness. “There are a lot of people who are paying more than they should be,â€? said Stubbs, “and people with lower consumption will see a reduction on their water bill.â€?

Ratepayers will be given a “ghost bill� with their January statements which takes their December consumption and converts it into a bill based on the new volumetric system. Stubbs says the average family will see a drop in their monthly bills.

That was borne out by Asphodel-Norwood Mayor Doug Pearcy who said his “ghost billâ€? was $73.89 a few dollars less than the $76 at rate. He

Long term care: “It’s time to call a spade a spade,� council says

By Bill Freeman

News – Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – “Maybe it’s time to call a spade a spade,� says Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Mayor Ron Gerow of the township’s uphill struggle with the provincial government to win support for a 128bed long term care home facility in the township.

While not quite drawing a line in the Please see “Water� on page 3 sand, the municipality says it “made

it clearâ€? to the government that they would like to hear some deďŹ nitive news from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care this month on their application which was ďŹ rst submitted in July, 2011.

The issue came to a boil again during council’s second meeting of the new year.

The Township has had a plan on the books that would facilitate the building

of a 128-bed nursing home on an 18acre property off Old Norwood Road.

That property has already been zoned for a seniors-related development that could also include a medical centre, assisted living units and geared-to-income seniors’ apartments. A daycare centre and other “integrated community opportunities� are being considered as part of the proposal.

and his wife used 11.5 cubic meters for a total bill of $73.89.

“We do all the normal things that people do (and) we have not taken steps to cut down on consumption,” said Pearcy who considered his bill on the “high end of the median.”

“My bill is coming down, that’s a good thing.”

Stubbs had a chart that showed what the monthly cost would be for various levels of consumption starting with a low of five cubic meters which worked out to $66.08; ten cubic meters was $72.08 while 20 cubic meters would produce an $84.08 bill. Thirty cubic meters, considered “quite high” totalled $98.03.

A typical household, says Stubbs, would consume about 12 cubic meters a month for a water bill of $30.11 and sewer bill of $44.37. Anyone over 15 cubic meters would pay slightly more than they’re currently paying.

HBM has been working closely with AON Incorporated on plans for the estimated $13-14 million 128-bed two storey facility which AON would build and operate.

Council wants the province to allocate new long-term care beds or re-direct those that were not picked up in a 1999 call so that the HBM project can start.

Mayor Gerow reminded Premier Kathleen Wynne personally of the township’s long-term care initiative during an anniversary party in Peterborough during the fall for Member of Provincial Parliament Jeff Leal celebrating his ten years in provincial office.

Councillor Jim Martin has talked candidly about perhaps pursuing another direction. All are certain that a spring election is in the cards and want action before the writ is dropped.

Chief Administrative Officer Linda Reed told council that a recent talk she had with officials at the Central East LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) “(was) not going to solve the issue” and that an updated application had been submitted to the ministry.

MPP Leal had requested that the 2011 application be updated, Reed said.

“What we need is ministry approval for the beds,” she said. “The real issue is will they take the application as presented to them (and put it into) action?”

“There will be a spring election, there is no question. The needles are being threaded as we speak,” Gerow said.

Gerow says council needs to be “proactive” and send Leal a letter that must be hand-delivered to Health Minister Deb Matthews requesting that their 128-bed allocation be approved.

“This has gone on long enough. We want the licence allocation as soon as possible before the election. Maybe it’s just time to call a spade a spade.”

Councillor Barry Pomeroy said they have been beating their feet on the ground “so long there shouldn’t be any sole left on their shoes.”

“What these numbers show is that nobody is going to see a dramatic change in their bills,” says Pearcy. “Everybody is going to be approximately the same.”

He said you’d need at least five or six people in a house to hit the 30 cubic meter threshold and “still the bill is less than $100.

“The nice thing about consumption billing is that you can control how much you pay for water,” Chief Administrative Officer Joe van Koeverden added.

He said municipal staff will continue to alert ratepayers if they see unusual spikes in their consumption.

“You’d be surprised how much a little drip of water builds up over time,” said van Koeverden.

“I want to encourage everyone to think about what their consumption should be,” he said. For a single-apartment dweller it should be around five cubic meters and for a two-person home between 11 and 15.

Definitely Not a Black Tie Lunch features local celebrities

By Sue Dickens

News – Warkworth – Local celebrities became chefs for a day at the thirdannual Definitely Not a Black Tie Lunch fundraiser for the 7 Hills Community Pantry.

“This is our only fundraiser of the year, so it is very important,” said Gail Covert, chair of the Pantry. “The volunteers are incredible. They made it a success. I can’t stop talking about them.”

Four teams participated, one less team than last year, and attendance was down but there must have been something in the cooking that heated up the auction for the meals at the end of the event because a total of $1,000 was raised.

“We brought in $83 less than last year so the generosity was still there for this event,” said Covert.

The goal was to prepare a healthy meal that cost no more than $10 and would feed a family of five.

“This year we did draws that we didn’t do in the past and that helped bump up the amount,” she added.

Mike and the Merry Maids raised the most money with their chicken fricassee with rice, tossed salad and apple pandowdy.

“We are trying to be health conscious but cutting back on sugar and salt,” said

Kathy Ellis whose husband was in the kitchen working on the chicken dish while teammate Earline Armstrong was working on the dessert and Rosemarie Peikes was mixing the salad.

“We must be insane doing this,” said Ellis laughing. Ellis is the one who had asked members of the Warkworth Community Service Club if they would like to be on her team.

Their meal auctioned off for the most money, netting $125 for the food bank.

This was the first time participating for all the chefs including the Abundance Team.

Howard Herscovici, who used to own a bakery in the village, teamed up with David Lyon, head of the Abundance Project to create some calzone stuffed with vegetables, a salad and apple crisp.

“It’s important to participate because the food bank is a critical service to the community,” said Lyons while kneading some dough in the kitchen.

“I am on a personal mission to promote good food, healthy food and this is an opportunity to demonstrate that.”

On the next table the Cookin’ Cole Sisters were preparing their green salad, beef regatta on rice and half baked apples.

“We were asked by Liz the organizer, if we would participate, so of course we

of cards pinned to their clothes. “We’re taking a gamble here,” said Gavin, noting their meal was sugar free and salt free.

Their main course was gluten free tuna pasta and they also created a salad with red wine vinaigrette on the side and apple sauce and fruits for dessert.

“I think it’s an important cause for our community,” said Marshall.

Attendees at the event could buy lunch for $7.

“I’ve been here before,” said Lillian Adams of Campbellford who was there with her friend Joyce Blackbourn, joining the others who eventually bid on the creations.

“I like to come because it’s helping the community. I think it’s great,” she said.

Digital mammography machine expected to be in use at hospital by April partners – the hospital foundation, the Campbellford-Seymour Community Foundation, and the Municipality of Trent Hills. The bulk of the money, $4 million, is earmarked for the purchase of hospital equipment, such as the digital mammography machine.

Among those present for the formal presentation of the cheque at Campbellford Chrysler January 15 was its receptionist, Angela Simmons, one of five survivors of breast cancer who “were brave enough to step forward to talk about their journey” with the disease by appearing on posters, Russell said.

They put a face to the campaign and “really helped to raise (its) profile,” he said.

“I really appreciated their efforts. We’re thrilled with how the campaign has gone to date.”

Simmons, who has had a clean bill of health for five years, said she agreed to help raise money for the new unit “because this is amazing if we can have this in the community. There are so many people that will use it.”

After she was diagnosed, “all my girlfriends started to go in to get checked and two of them actually did have cancer and they didn’t even know it,” Simmons

said. “It can hit anybody, at any age, men and women.”

What she finds “frightening” is that she’s been told by her surgeon that there’s a 90 per cent chance one of her three girls will develop breast cancer because she did, even though Simmons was in “perfect health,” exercised, and didn’t smoke or drink.

“Hopefully, they’ll find a cure by then. I know they’ve come a long way from mine, so it can only get better.”

Simmons estimates the teams she has entered in the annual Relay for Life have raised close to $8,000 over the years. “That’s a Campbellford Chrysler and J.J. Stewart Monice feeling,” she said. tors in Norwood together donated $5,000 Her four children have helped last week to help Campbellford Memorial with her fundraising efforts.

New model proposed for providing health care services in county News – Campbellford – A new model for the delivery of health care services in Northumberland County proposes that region-wide systems for hospice/palliative care and the prevention and management of diabetes be developed.

The organizations that currently provide these services across the county “could still operate independently, it’s just how can we make sure that everybody is working for the same goals for those patients,” said Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) president and Chief Executive Officer Brad Hilker.

The new model suggests CMH be made the lead agency for the hospice/palliative care initiative.

The six recommendations contained in the 15-page report include support for the continued development of a “rural Health Hub” in Trent Hills, such as consolidating back office functions, including information technology, human resources, finance, and procurement, between CMH and Community Care Northumberland.

It also recommends the hospital and the Victorian Order of Nurses develop a service level agreement “to optimize the provision of assisted living in the Trent Hills area.”

The agency has been assigned responsibility for creating new assisted living units for high-risk seniors in Norwood, Havelock, Campbellford and Cobourg. VON has received funding to provide more support to more clients in their own homes.

Another recommendation is that systems and strategies be put in place so that patient/client information can be shared more among health care providers.

The model also includes setting up a Northumberland Health System Transformation Council to continue efforts by health service providers to find more efficiencies, and to improve the coordination of care, so that “what we do deliver we’re going to provide the best we can,” Hilker said.

The impetus for change was a desire to improve client access to high quality care and to make the best use of money spent on programs and services, at a time when the population is aging and the prevalence of chronic disease and mental illness is increasing.

Representatives from Campbellford Memorial Hospital, Campbellford Memorial Multicare Lodge, Community Care

Northumberland, Branch 133 Legion Village Inc. in Cobourg, Northumberland Hills Hospital, Port Hope Community Health Centre, and VON Canada – Ontario branch have been working together for almost a year on identifying opportunities for integration.

Members of the Integration Planning Team (IPT), which included Hilker, looked at wait lists and the lack of access to some services, the difficulty for patients and caregivers in navigating through the system and the need for them to repeat their stories with every new service provider, and increasing financial pressures.

The model the IPT developed will be presented to the boards of the seven partners in February.

Hilker stressed everything is still in draft form.

“That’s the thing we can’t lose sight of, this whole plan can change, our boards could say no in the next couple

The integrated service delivery model will be submitted to the Central East Local Health Integration Network for approval. Implementation is to begin in the 2014 -15 fiscal year.

News – Campbellford – Campbellford Memorial Hospital is weeks away from having the new digital mammography machine installed and in use.

“The good news is we’re really close to having the new unit in place,” CMH Foundation executive director John Russell said last week.

“There are some renovations that have to be done to the room, and some training, so it should be up and running by April.”

Russell also announced that with a shared donation of $5,000 from Campbellford Chrysler and J.J. Stewart Motors in Norwood, the foundation “is close to having the full amount required to complete the purchase.”

The fundraising target was $650,000 to pay for the machine’s acquisition, installation and associated costs.

With more days like today, the foundation should be able to reach its target in little more than a month, Russell said.

The donation from the two dealerships was made through to the Flourish Trent Hills Wellness campaign, which has set a goal of raising $7 million over five years, to be divided among its three

Hastings Helpers buoyed by Bridge info project

News – Hastings – The Hastings Helpers urge people to contribute information to an emergency preparedness initiative, which held the first of three public meetings last week at the Civic Centre.

The project will be active until early March and involves gath-

ering data linking needs with services during the temporary closure of the Lock 18 swing bridge.

The Helpers are one of the sponsors of the initiative and although they have been “quiet” recently they continue to work in the background, upgrading their website and supporting the work Melody MacDonald is doing as information collection coordinator.

MacDonald is at the Civic Centre twice a week and can be contacted by email or telephone.

“I can’t see it not working as long as people know Melody is here,” Hastings Helpers volunteer Tonya McColl-Smith told the Independent at last week’s meeting.

“This is a very important aspect of what the Hastings Helpers were trying to do from the beginning,“ she said. “There are people in town who are going to need assistance (when the bridge is closed in early 2015) and it’s not just a comfort kind of assistance.”

Making a comprehensive list of those people and finding “able-bodied and com-

passionate neighbours” willing to help is the chief objective of the preparedness initiative, McColl-Smith says.

“It’s like a puzzle and Melody is connecting the dots with this information.”

Before the Helpers received funding for the project through the federal New Horizons program they were considering going door-to-door, she admitted.

“It’s not just for the bridge closure,” she says of the database. “It could be used for flooding, ice storms. It should make people in Hastings feel a little more safe knowing there is a database. If anything were to happen you wouldn’t be waiting very long for somebody to knock on your door or call you.

“We’re making the best of a bad situation. The bridge has to be fixed, there’s no getting around it.”

Having a searchable database will put Hastings and Trent Hills ahead of many municipalities when it comes to emergency preparedness, she said.

“This is for the bridge closure and beyond. For people to put themselves out there and say they are willing to do whatever they can to help, you don’t get that everywhere,“ McColl-Smith said.

“The database and the website is something the

Helpers can use and modify as time goes on and keep it up-to-date.”

Ice storm-related power outages is the most recent example of an emergency.

“Imagine having a database of information about people willing to help you out.”

The database can contain information on resource materials available in town.

“The kind of equipment you don‘t even think about until you need it.”

“The information is coming in,” MacDonald says.

“I would call it a beginning.”

She will approach various organizations and provide brochures about the project and will speak directly to local seniors, a crucial demographic.

The first email she received, she says, was from a volunteer. “It gives people almost a full year to prepare.

However it is going to affect us, we have that year to adjust our lives.”

Front Street resident Tony Tuit has already begun to reschedule future medical appointments around the closure. He’s happy that emergency services have made detailed plans; he’s called an ambulance 13 times in the last year-and-a-half.

News - Two Peterborough area men have been fined a total of $1,800 for hunting black bear without a licence.

Shane Maddison and Brandon Webb both pleaded guilty to hunting bear without a licence.

Maddison was fined $1,500 and Webb was fined $300.

Court heard that between September 6 and 11, 2013, Maddison and Webb party hunted for black bear together in Douro-Dummer Township, Peterborough County. They were not legally allowed to do so because Maddison did not have a valid 2013 bear licence. A conservation

officer investigating a complaint determined that Webb harvested a bear using his game seal, and shortly after, tried to shoot another bear for Maddison. Maddison also shot a black bear, but did not recover it.

Justice of the Peace Carl Young heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Peterborough, on January 9, 2014.

Bridge Street is the best solution Council wants plows to slow down

By Bill Freeman

News – Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – Snowplows on county roads and along Hwy. 7 could easily stop firing snow on people’s front yards and driveways if they slowed down, Havelock-Belmont-Methuen councillor Jim Martin says.

Martin says he received three complaints last week from residents along County Road 46 about snow, sand and salt being thrown up on lawns as well as making access to community mailboxes difficult.

“It probably has more to do with Canada Post,” he said of dealing with complaints regarding access to the community mailboxes following snow events.

Martin added that he had also received complaints about “how fast” snowplows travel on Hwy. 7.

“I don’t know how you make out but they must fill your drive-

way in,” said Martin, himself an experienced plow driver. “There are ways of plowing and you don’t have to throw snow halfway up somebody’s front lawn if you slow down in built-up areas and think about it.”

“I haven’t had any complaints about the township which is a good thing,” he added.

Martin says it just requires “a little bit of education” for drivers.

Mayor Ron Gerow agreed saying there are some “seasoned people” driving along many of these routes but perhaps some of the new and younger staff “need some direction.”

“People are going a little faster than need be. They should not be in a hurry so there should be no need for snow flying,” councillor Barry Pomeroy said.

“We’ve notice that (this year) and last year too,” Pomeroy said.

“It’s an education thing,” said Martin noting that he was with a friend when a fast-moving plow went along Hwy. 7 near Havelock Home Hardware.

“There’s no need for that.”

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

Dear Editor, The bridge debate is surfacing again and is “a major issue still to be resolved in 2014” according to Mayor Hector MacMillian (Independent – Jan 9, 2014).

Reconstruction of the bridge at its present site on Bridge Street would be a sound business decision.

The reason the Town of Campbellford is situated at its present location is because of the river crossing “Campbell’s Ford” established 150 years ago. This crossing site still works well.

Many of our businesses are on Bridge Street; it is the largest aggregation we have. Some of these businesses draw customers from outside Trent Hills. We are a regional trading town.

Our setting on the Trent River could be enhanced by the beautification of the approaches to the bridge. We should demolish the largely vacant and shabby buildings at each end of the bridge and open up the view of the river. A more attractive and inviting approach to the town would draw more people.

A bridge at Second and Alma would split the

town, create a bypass for vehicles, and substantially weaken the business core.

Cobourg and Port Hope have recognized the potential and charm of their business districts. In both cases, considerable funds have been spent to improve their downtown shopping areas. As a result, the cores of both communities are beautiful and vibrant. People shop, eat and socialize there.

Families visit the library and the park.

We have the same opportunity for development here. We must capitalize on our assets and make more of them. We have everything we need, including an opportunity for renewed vitality.

Our town should develop as a tourist and commercial destination. We could become a “jewel in the crown of Northumberland”.

We must keep the traffic coming through the downtown and support our local businesses.

Bridge Street is the best solution. We must look at the big picture, our businesses, our community and our history.

Mary Brown, Campbellford

“Be nice, clear your ice” Dear Editor, “Be nice, clear your ice”. This does not seem to apply here in Trent Hills. The reason, I believe, is that the municipality has taken over clearing the sidewalks but it’s obvious that this policy is not working. Except on downtown sidewalks and sections of sidewalk near schools, parks, and other public spaces, snow clearing should be the property

owner’s responsibility. I feel that private property owners would do a better job if they faced a possible fine or lawsuit for injuries. Those not able to physically do the clearing could contract the work to needy youth or others. Pedestrians should be able to use the sidewalks safely year round.

Connected to your community OPINION Syrian peace talks begin this week, could lead to victory for Assad

Editorial – It would be interesting to know just what tidbits of information the US National Security Agency’s eavesdropping has turned up on United Nations Secretary-General Ban KiMoon. He certainly caved in very fast: on Sunday he invited Iran to join the long-delayed peace talks aimed at ending the three-year-old civil war in Syria; on Sunday evening the United States loudly objected, and on Monday he obeGwynne Dyer diently uninvited Iran.

So the peace talks get underway in Switzerland this week after all, and the omens for peace are not that bad. Unless, of course, you were also hoping for the overthrow of the brutal regime of Bashar al-Assad and the emergence of a democratic Syria, in which case the omens are positively awful.

The breakthrough may not happen at Geneva this week, but the Russians and the Americans are now on the same side (although the US cannot yet bring itself to say publicly that it is backing Assad). Moreover, some of the rebels are getting ready to change sides. It won’t be fast and it won’t be pretty, but there’s a decent chance that peace, in the shape of an Assad victory, will come to Syria within a year or two.

What has made this possible is the jihadis, the fanatical extremists of the al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, who have frightened both the United States and a great many ordinary Syrians into seeing Assad’s regime as the lesser evil.

Two years ago, it still seemed possible that Assad could lose. The rebels had the support of the United States, Turkey and powerful Sunni Arab states like Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and they still talked about a democratic, inclusive Syria. Assad’s only friends were Iran, Russia and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

But then the jihadis showed up, alienating local people with their extreme version of sharia law and scaring the pants off the United States with their allegiance to al-Qaeda. It took

the United States quite a while to admit to itself that it does not actually want Assad to fall if that means putting the jihadis in power, but it has finally grasped the concept.

More recently, a “war-within-the-war” has broken out among the rebels, with the secular groups fighting the jihadis and the jihadi groups fighting among themselves. So far in January more people have been killed in this internecine rebel war (over a thousand) than in the war against the regime. And the US and Russia are working on a deal that would swing most of the non-jihadi rebels over to the regime’s side.

General Salim Idris, the commander of the Free Syrian Army (the main non-jihadi force on the battlefield), said last month that he and his allies were dropping the demand that Assad must leave power before the Geneva meeting convened. Instead, they would be content for Assad to go at the end of the negotiation process, at which time the FSA’s forces would join with those of the regime in an offensive against the Islamists.

He was actually signalling that the Free Syrian Army is getting ready to change sides. There will have to be amnesties and financial rewards for those who change sides, of course, but these things are easily arranged. And Assad will not leave power “at the end of the negotiation process.”

The jihadis are not at Geneva this week, of course; just the Russians and the Americans, and the Assad regime and the Syrian National coalition (the Free Syrian Army’s political front), and a few odds and sods to make up the numbers. It is an ideal environment for the regime and the secular rebels to discuss quietly how they might make a deal, with their Russian and American big brothers in attendance to smooth the path.

The fighting in Syria will continue for many months, even if a joint front of the regime and the FSA is formed to drive out the foreign extremists and eliminate the native-born ones.

In practice the end game will probably be even more ragged than that, with all sorts of local rebel groups trying to cut their own deals or holding out until the bitter end. But the final outcome has become clear, and it is no longer years away.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

What the dickens is going on Dear Editor, I don’t want to offend anyone, but what the Dickens is going on? A little bird told me, actually it was a very happy and excited pigeon, that there is a plan afoot to have a beautiful bronze statue of Roy Bonisteel as the centrepiece of a tribute garden to be set up behind City Hall. The statue would only cost $139,000 if the land was donated, and the money would be raised by donations from the community, i.e. you and me.

All of this was presented and passed at the last council meeting with very little advance notice to the community.

Listen folks, after the Pamela Wallin and Mike Duffy episodes, do you really think that this is the time to be building statues to former CBC journalists? What criteria should one use when deciding who should be honoured with a statue?

As good a person Roy Bonisteel was, he wasn’t a war hero, a leading politician, or an honoured jurist: the type of people that generally are honoured with statues when they die. He was a recipient of the Order of Canada but after Conrad Black, Alan Eagleson, and Steve Fonyo is that still a big deal? He was a citizen court judge (a patronage appointment), and has many honourary degrees. His main claim to fame was his years of broadcasting on radio and television, as well as authoring several books ... and, I submit, his beautiful head

of thick wavy white hair.

I can’t think of any other recipient of the Order of Canada, jurist, or broadcaster that has been put on a pedestal in the recent past. That goes for politicians too, with the unfortunate exception of Jack Layton, who got there, it seems, in the rush of his supporters to raise him to sainthood before he could perform his first miracle. Wait, maybe getting the statue was the first miracle.

Now, if it’s really necessary to have a statue in the tribute garden to honour a local personality, I suggest that we take a closer look at the qualifications of some of our other citizens.

Being a military town, I’m sure that we probably have some serious contenders; people that have spent many years serving the country, the community, or humanity.

I don’t want to boast, but I have some qualifications. I’d offer my name, but the last time I did, everybody laughed out loud. But I digress.

What the Dickens is going on? Surely, for that kind of money, there’s some cancer detecting or fighting equipment that our hospital really needs and we can attach a memorial bronze plaque to it in Roy’s name.

Justice prevails after NYC arrest

By Stephen Petrick

Editorial - . A group of civil rights lawyers stood on the steps of New York’s City Hall on Wednesday, January 15 to celebrate victory in what they believe is the biggest class action lawsuit related to a political protest in the history of the United States.

I read the coverage of this in American media last week with interest because I was one of the participants in this lawsuit.

On the afternoon of August 30, 2004, I, along with about 1,200 other innocent people was arrested in Manhattan in one of a number of illegal sweeping arrests made by the New York Police Department. In these arrests, groups of protesters, journalists and passersby were indiscriminately lured into areas that were eventually surrounded by police, who handcuffed each person and dragged them off to a makeshift jail with decrepit conditions. The jail was an abandoned bus station.

I ended up spending the night, sleeping on an oil-stained floor.

The event happened amid one of the most politically intense weeks in modern U.S. history. Thousands of protesters had travelled to New York in response to the Republican National Convention that week. George W. Bush was seeking a second term as president and his cronies were gathered at New York’s famous Madison Square Garden for several days of self-congratulatory media-ops.

But the event raised the ire of many Americans who had opposed the Iraq war and argued the self-described “war president” was capitalizing on the fear still gripping New Yorkers following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

At the time, I was in between semesters of my photojournalism studies at Loyalist College. I travelled to New York to visit a friend, thinking I could photograph protests while there to boost my portfolio. I took the subway to the site of the former World Trade Center that day with no idea I was about to get arrested.

I found a group of several hundred protesters who were about to walk to the Garden. As the group began to march, I attempted to rush to the front of the line, so I could photograph the group moving forward. Upon following a police officer’s orders to move onto a sidewalk I was arrested. Years later I participated in the deposition in a New York City law office and saw a video of myself crossing the street legally at a green light. From then on, I knew I had a pretty good chance of winning a settlement based on an unjustified arrest.

After 30 hours in the slammer divided between this bus station and a police station jail downtown, I exited to the applause of human rights watchdogs who were waiting outside. I gave my name and email address to a legal team and stayed in touch with the group. The charges I was given of “obstructing traffic” and “refusal to move” were dropped when I attended a New York court a month later and accepted an “Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal.” That’s essentially an agreement that your case will close once you’ve gone six months without another arrest.

After nearly a decade of legal warbling, mostly by NYPD lawyers who knew they would lose and therefore resorted to desperate attempts to delay the case, a settlement was reached. I’m not privy to all the details, but I’m reading in New York media that it’s costing New York City about $18 million; a number that represents the total sum of one large class action lawsuit, and several individual lawsuits plus legal fees.

Journalists don’t normally participate in these types of lawsuits; our job is to report the news, not be part of it. However, I joined this lawsuit because I was not working for any media organization at the time and had nothing to lose by participating. If anything, it would teach me about the inner-workings of the American legal system and a give me a great story to tell.

But, honestly, the biggest reason I joined was I thought it was important for the sake of democracy. I’m not normally one for conspiracy theories but I believe these arrests were made for the convenience of the Republican Party (the city was then being led by Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg). That’s a problem because police are supposed to protect the entire public; not just those from one political denomination. This lawsuit sends a message to the NYPD that’s it’s wrong to trample freedom of speech rights. And it’s a message other police forces in free democracies should take note of. It’s too late for Toronto Police, who have since drawn criticism for similar massive arrests at the G20 summit in 2010, but maybe not too late for others.

Upon returning home in 2004 I wrote a column about my experience to warn people about the dangers of attending a political protest. It ended with the line, “In the United States you can go to jail for exercising the freedom of speech the country goes to war to defend.” I’m writing this column because I feel obliged to update that statement. Perhaps in the United States you can still go to jail for exercising freedom of speech, but at least you can sue the pants off the police.

New DARE instructor enjoys time helping students become good citizens

By John Campbell

News – Campbellford – Northumberland OPP Constable Tanya Royall has been a police officer for close to 19 years and most of that time has been spent on the road.

Her career went in a different direction last year when she became the person at the detachment responsible for teaching the DARE program to almost 500 students attending 18 elementary schools in Northumberland County, including five in Trent Hills. “It’s a great program, I’ve enjoyed it so much already,� Royall said, minutes before she was to conduct her first graduate ceremony for students who completed the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program, which teaches young people how to turn away from drugs and alcohol, deal with bullying, develop self-esteem and make responsible choices.

Fifty-three Grade 6 and 7 students at Kent Public School – her “guinea pigs,� the first students to take part in the 10week program that began last October – received certificates and T-shirts Janu-

ary 17. “They really seem to love the program,� she said of all the students she has taught so far. “We really don’t talk about drugs that much. We talk about responsible choices, and how to be a good citizen, (and) touch on stress, communication, bullying. It’s not all about drugs.�

The students were assigned to write a letter at the end, addressed to their future selves, which they could use as a reminder at a later date of the lessons they had learned while in public school, and the commitment they had made to act responsibly.

The message she hoped to get across was mirrored in the letters by the four students she selected to read aloud what they had written. They spoke about the harmful effects of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes, including 39,000 tobacco-related deaths in Canada each year, and another 6,000 caused by alcohol, and the damage that physical, social, verbal and cyber bullying can do, to the point of driving some victims to suicide.

“If you smoke and do drugs or drink, it doesn’t mean you’re cool,� Cameron Airhart said.

He promised not to be a bystander when someone is being bullied but to report such incidents.

You can notify the appropriate adults, such as teachers or parents, anonymously “so you won’t be labeled a rat or a tattletale, which can make you a target of bullying,� Retalee SandersRichter said. “Just telling someone can save lives.�

There’s “strength in numbers� when someone tries to get you involved in drugs, Tessa Harkema said. You can also try to avoid the situation, walk away, Northumberland OPP Constable Tanya Royall has really enjoyed her time as a DARE instructor since give a reasonable explanation for choos- she began teaching the program last November to Grade 6 and 7 students at schools throughout Northumberland County. Photo: John Campbell ing not to, or change the subject. “I will pick good friends that will not make bad choices,� Amanda McColl said.

DARE is supported by community policing committees throughout Northumberland who raise their money by means of an annual golf tournament held jointly with the OPP. The cost to deliver the program is $17 per student.Â

In Westwood, Bennett will share some Arctic-themed stories during a special appearance that starts at 4:30 p.m. “Every day can be Family Literacy Day,� says Mason. “When families spend 15 minutes a day engaged in reading and other learning activities together there are huge benefits for children and adults.�

Children raised in literate households are likely to enter Grade 1 with several thousands of hours of one-to-one pre-reading experience behind them, says ABC Life Literacy Canada, and reading aloud to children helps them learn listening skills as well as sharpening vocabulary and language skills while also developing their imagination and creative abilities.

Nine million Canadians, four out of ten, struggle with low literacy and 15 per cent of those who struggle have difficulty with any printed materials; 27 per cent can only deal with simple reading tasks.

Celebrate Havelock wine and cheese a tribute to sponsors, volunteers

By Bill Freeman

Lifestyles – Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – Gripped by a winter to remember or forget, Celebrate Havelock’s annual wine and cheese soirée was an opportunity to think of warmer days and the seventh annual community showcase.

“It’s a thank-you to our sponsors, exhibitors and our volunteers,” Celebrate Havelock Chair Elmer Buchanan said as guests enjoyed samplings from the Publican House Brewery in Peterborough and Buckhorn’s Kawartha Country Wines as well as assorted local cheeses.

“For me it’s a way to do community building and helping to get people together,” said Buchanan.

Last year’s show drew over 800 people to the community centre and had over $7,500 worth of prizes to win. It also raised a considerable amount of food for the local food bank, a side benefit to an event that showcases the multiplicity of businesses, services and organizations that exist in the township.

The prize table, which topped $13,000 two years ago “has become a bit of a feature of the show,” says Buchanan.

“It certainly brings people.

“We didn’t start out with the idea of making that a huge money-maker but it does attract people. We usually get

as much revenue from prizes as we do from the door, which is fine. It (also) gives people in the community who are not exhibiting a chance to donate a prize.”

This year’s event is still very much in the planning stages but Buchanan says an expanded outdoor exhibit area will enhance the show. The committee has booked a petting zoo with between 35 and 40 animals under shelter so visitors see them rain or shine; they’ve also invited J.J. Stewart Motors to be part of the show.

“We put our foot in the water a little bit last year (with) outside booths and we hope to expand that this year,” said Buchanan. “The more booths we have outside the better it is for the exhibitors.”

Something that pleases organizers is the fact that participants and visitors are constantly surprised that so many businesses and services operate in the municipality.

“People continue to tell us that,” Buchanan said. “It is a chance to network.”

Celebrate Havelock has developed a regional identity and if imitation is the sincerest form of compliment then the fact that neighbouring Asphodel-Norwood is thinking about hosting a similar show indicates they’re

doing things right.

“We hear rumours that Norwood is thinking of copying us. They liked what they saw (and it is) a compliment of what we do.”

There will be no workshops this year but they will have a range of entertainment. The workshops had become too difficult to organize but the entertainment, like appearances by the Norwood District High guitar club and a local karate group, were very successful, Buchanan said.

Organizers will invite the Campbellford District High’s music program to participate.

Keeping the program local but adding selective regional content from businesses not represented in the township is a discussion the committee engages in.

“We always come down to trying to fill exhibit space with local people because it is about the community of Havelock and its people. We have talked about what kind of businesses we don’t have that we can reach out to. We’re not going to open it up to everyone.”

The committee is actively looking for volunteers to help on the day of the show.

“You don’t have to be part of the committee, you don’t have to attend meetings,” said Buchanan.

12 The Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, January 23, 2014

Township will continue to explore emergency generator options phase unit would work at the town hall, he said.

“The concept was to have (one) permanently installed at the town hall and a second unit could be set up as a mobile on a trailer,” he said.

The units are diesel powered.

The mobile could be driven to different locations to provide temporary power.

The single-phase units can’t be plugged directly into the services at the community centre of public works buildings because they’re three-phase facilities, van Koeverden noted.

“I’m looking for direction as to whether we should look at this as an option,” he said, adding that he’ll bring forward additional information in a future report.

“One thing that does concern me is diesel, that means fuel storage; that does bother me a little bit,” said Mayor Doug Pearcy.

Mayor Pearcy says he’d need more information on a gasoline powered generator that would provide an automatic power

supply to the town hall “to do what we need it to do in case of emergency.”

They should also determine the cost to provide generators to other facilities as well, Pearcy added.

“It sounds a little complicated to me to have single phase do three-phase buildings,” he said.

“You can do remote lighting and remote heating but you can’t plug into the building,” van Koeverden said.

Using the back-up generator installed at the municipality’s pumping station would be the best and most effective option for providing an emergency power supply to the town hall and the municipal office, said Roy Millett.

Council specifically asked contractors involved in upgrading the Norwood wastewater treatment plant to install a generator that was big enough to power the town hall as well as the sewage plant during an emergency.

Now that they’ve decided that the municipal office will remain at

the town hall they should move to link to the generator, said Millett.

“It is big enough for us and it’s a natural gas generator,” he said.

All they need is permission from Peterborough Utilities Services to run wires from their poles. Failing that, they could run cable through a trench or use a “dead water main” that runs from the town hall towards Lions Park.

“There is supposed to be enough power to run the whole place,” Pearcy said.

“I’d like to see that done before buying generators,” Millett said.

If the community centre needs a generator it should be three-phase, added Rick Kloosterman.

“The community centre should have a generator,” he said.

“This is good news that Roy brings up,” Deputy Mayor Joe Crowley said.

Crowley agreed that the community centre should have a three-phase generator.

“Not necessarily for the ice but for the Millennium Room, the foyer and the stands.”

News – Asphodel-Norwood – Township staff will continue researching options for emergency generators in the municipality.

Township Chief Administrative Officer Joe van Koeverden says the need for back-up energy supplies was highlighted during the municipality’s emergency training session and underscored in the wake of widespread power outages many communities experienced during the holiday ice storm.

The emergency training session and follow-up discussions with county observers “identified the lack of ability to provide power (during an outage),” van Koeverden told council during its first meeting of 2014.

With that in mind, he began to look at emergency generators that are available including singlephase 42 kilowatt units that “would work in certain situations but not in large buildings.”

The larger buildings would need three-phase units. A single

Stanford University model to manage chronic conditions the focus of free workshops in Campbellford

This is a group of volunteer peer leaders at a recent training session preparing for the “Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions” workshops coming to Campbellford in February. Pre-registration is required. Melissa McNamara, back right, is co-ordinator of the CE LHIN Self-Management Program; Debra McCarthy, fourth from the left, front row, is one of the peer leaders and trainers who will be facilitating the workshops here.

Lifesyle – Campbellford – Stanford University’s Chronic Disease Self-Management Program is coming to Campbellford.

This free six-week workshop is being held at Island Park Retirement Residence and is open to anyone and everyone.

The “Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions” workshop empowers people to live well while dealing with conditions like diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, lung disease, and other chronic health issues.

Each session provides two-and-a-half hours facilitated by two trained leaders, one or both of whom are non-health

professionals with chronic diseases themselves.

Carole Love of Warkworth is one of those trained volunteer leaders.

“I became involved many years back when the Central East Local Health Integration Network (CE LHIN) looked at what priorities they wanted to address in the region. I was very keen to do something with self management,” she told the Trent Hills Independent.

Love was part of the planning committee that introduced the program to the region.

Following that path in her life she became a master trainer and can now train trainers for the workshops.

She suffers from a chronic condition – arthritis.

“My goal is always to make people understand and increase their conviction that it is important for them to learn new skills that will make a difference,” she commented.

“It’s important to understand that it will help them live better, not just physically but also emotionally . . . the workshop can change someone’s life,” she added.

“What the workshops do is provide that ‘aha moment’ when one realizes, ‘oh I am in charge of how I feel. I can be in charge of how I feel.’”

Melissa McNamara, co-ordinator, CE LHIN Self-Management Program, told the Independent that the Stanford model has been around since the 1990s.

“The workshop teaches the individual to learn themselves what works for them,” she explained.

“We found that the people who have taken the workshops make less ER (Emergency Room) visits, they are better able to manage their health issues and have a better quality of life,” she added.

“One of the things I found in the first session I do is that people realize they are not alone, that people who have chronic conditions feel the same things, fatigue, anger, frustration, depression,” she noted.

The second volunteer leader who will be facilitating the workshops in Campbellford is Debra McCarthy who works in Peterborough.

“When you become a peer leader in self management of chronic conditions you yourself have a chronic condition.

Mine is episodes of depression which I manage through healthy living,” she said.

“What I love about this program is it has a variety of tools to slowly but

successfully change behaviours towards managing chronic conditions. We give them the starting tools to go the rest of their life,” she added.

“I am a boomer and this whole self management thing, well we have to start looking after ourselves.”

Topics in the six workshops range from differences between acute and chronic conditions to using the mind for symptom management. The sessions also encourage participants to creating an action plan for difficult emotions, pain and fatigue management, healthy eating, problem solving, making treatment decisions, positive thinking.

Pre-registration is required.

The workshops will be held Thursdays, from February 13 to March 20 from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

To register call: 1-866-971-5545.

Classic bluegrass duo will headline Havelock show

By Bill Freeman

Entertainment – Havelock-BelmontMethuen – A night with the classic bluegrass talents of Josh and Wayne Crowe will definitely put thoughts of endless winter out of your heads.

The Clayton, Georgia brothers will headline a smoking show of classic bluegrass February 15 when they pull into the Havelock Legion for another musical offering courtesy of the Northern Bluegrass Committee’s winter series.

Brothers are touring behind their latest album Bridging the Gap an acclaimed recording filled with interpretations of classic songs and musical help from some mighty big names like Randy Kohrs, Steve Sutton and Ashby Frank.

The album is laced with “remarkable powerful music…in fine brother duet fashion,” a review for the Bluegrass Music News Network by Joe Ross stated.

The brothers have recorded seven albums over 40 years with Josh branching out at times over those years with his own band (The Josh Crowe Band) as well as a partnership with David McLaughlin of the Johnston Mountain Boys (Crowe and McLaughlin) that caused quite a buzz in the business and produced award-winning music.

“Luckily for contemporary fans of classic American music, the Crowes serve as a respite from overly progressive Newgrass bands and bubble-gum teen idols masquerading as country singers,” Juli Thanki wrote for PopMatters in a review of their stellar album BrothersN-Harmony. “If they had been born a few decades earlier the Crowe Brothers would be listed alongside all of the other great brother duos of country and western and bluegrass music.”

Entertainment – Campbellford – Candlelight, Transit, City of Gold, Splendor and Formation are just some of the names of the 17 paintings created by artist Betsy Miller whose solo show is being featured for the next three months at the library in Campbellford.

Called “Verticality� her show celebrates each of her paintings that have been created in an expressionistic abstract art form, a style she has been drawn to lately. “Most of what I do is abstract. I don’t paint from any images.

Curtain will rise on Legion play

By Bill Freeman

Entertainment – Norwood – The plays the thing at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 300 in Norwood.

The branch’s burgeoning arts program has given birth to an original comic theatrical romp by fledgling playwright Lloyd Gaskin, this year’s Legionnaire of the Year and a former Norwood District High teacher well known for his genial wit and gregariousness.

That natural wordsmithing talent has been put to good use in his play Soulmates, which will make its debut this summer during a three-performance run that will include a dinner theatre gala.

“It is a play that amuses and bemuses,” Gaskin said in an interview with the Independent. “I think it fulfills those two criteria

very well and I hope as many people come out as can.”

Gaskin blames the literary enterprise on Branch 300 member Rob Howat but is charitable and readily admits that he enjoyed every minute of the experience of creating the play.

“It was Rob who awakened my latent desire to write and got me busy,” he said with a chuckle. “He got me going on a novel but I never completed it because I killed off all the characters before I got too far, but I can always revive them.”

He is already thinking about a second play which he vows will also be a comedy.

“It’s going to be humourous because that’s all I can do is humour,” says Gaskin.

The shape of the second play is unknown but Gaskin says he has

already read at least 50 books to fire up the imagination.

Once he is able to get the “construct” in his mind Gaskin says he “will be able to run away with it.”

His artistic comrade, Howat, describes Soulmates as a “conflict between a Jungian and a Freudian with interesting circumstances.

“I can assure you there is a lady involved,” says Howat who will also be directing the play, which will have a cast of five.

Howat is “anxious” to get into the heart of rehearsals “and get the wrinkles worked out.”

Howat is the brainchild behind the Branch 300 arts group, which includes painting, a writers group and music; there is also a dance program supported by the Branch.

“He’s a wordsmith,” Howat says of Gaskin. “He is also a very

amusing gentleman and the two go together beautifully in this play.

When working with him on it there was an unseemly amount of laughter taking place.”

Along with cast members, he says they will need volunteers to help with front of house duties, back stage, props and the sale of tickets. He also hopes that some community supporters step forward with sponsorship assistance.

Howat also says they will apply for an arts grant to help with the production, Gaskin says that the writing was not difficult.

“It just rolled off in a few weeks,” he said. “I find plays easy to write because I am a conversationalist and I can talk to myself quite a lot. That’s why I find the Lloyd Gaskin has written his first play entitled Soulmates, which will be given its debut at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 300.

Ron Gerow will run for mayor of HBM again year veteran of municipal politics told the Independent in a wide-ranging interview. “I thought long and hard about it, my wife and I had a lot of discussion on it and so did my family.”

“I love my community and I spend a lot of time thinking about (it) and what’s good for our community,” said Gerow, a former two-time warden of Peterborough County. He was also chair of the influential Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus where he was a pivotal part of the launch of the $170 million eastern Ontario broadband initiative. Last year mayor Gerow received a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medallion after being nominated by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.

“I’ve been very fortunate and very lucky to have been afforded the opportunity to sit at the table for so many years.

I look forward to one more term if the people see it that way.”

“I’ve seen a lot of changes in the last 28 years sitting around the table; the things that we as a community have done in the last 100 years are phenomenal.

We have been well-blessed with great representation here over those years and we’ve had some very dedicated people who have worked very hard to bring our community to where it is.”

He says that since 1855 the village and surrounding townships of Belmont and Methuen, amalgamated in 1998, have achieved some “major accomplishments” compared to other rural municipalities.

“We have a lot to build on here.”

It is nice to be part of that legacy, he agrees.

Over those 28 years Gerow says he has worked with some “great people” at the municipality who deserve a lot of credit for the progressive direction the township

He noted that the process of finding a successor to Chief Administrative Officer Linda Reed is well underway.

“I look forward to working with great staff here.”

Improved dental treatment for adults still lacking News – Northumberland County - While progress is being made to improve access to dental treatment for children and youth, there is still one key ingredient missing from the mix, say local oral health advocates.

Improved treatment options for adults with serious dental problems are still lacking despite recent improvements in dental care coverage in Ontario, according to the Northumberland Oral Health Coalition.

“We are on the right road to making dental care more accessible for everyone, but we still have further to go to reach our destination,” notes coalition chairperson Sue Hochu.

A 2012 Public Health Ontario study found that among Ontarians who had not recently visited a dentist, one of five people cited cost as a barrier.

“While government-run financial-support programs exist to pay for dental care for children and youth, there is nothing for adults and they fall through the cracks,” says Hochu.

“Many adults with serious dental problems have no choice but to go to hospital to treat the pain. The sad reality is that many of these dental problems are preventable if they could see a dentist.”

In 2012, there were 599

visits to hospital emergency rooms (ERs) in Cobourg and Campbellford for oral health issues, based on data obtained from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

“Nearly three-quarter of these visits were considered less urgent and could have been managed elsewhere in the community, rather than taking up valuable hospital ER resources,” Hochu notes.

In mid-December 2013, the Ontario government announced it was improving access to free dental care services for children and youth.

Starting in April 2014, an additional 70,000 Ontario children will be eligible to receive free dental care through the Healthy Smiles Ontario program.

As well by mid-2015, the provincial government will merge the six dental programs that now serve low-income and disabled children into one single service to improve administration and access.

In a press release Hochu applauds these changes, noting they address concerns raised by the Coalition in a letter sent to Ontario Health and Long-Term Care Minister Deb Matthews in October 2013.

However, the coalition notes, the changes still fall short in filling the gap for low-income adults who have Please see “Dental” on page 18

Area volunteers set sights on raising $163,000 during Heart Month

By John Campbell

News – Campbellford – For the second year in a row, the Heart and Stroke Foundation will have a record number of volunteers in the area canvassing door-to-door next month.

More than 1,700 people – an increase of almost 200 from last year – will be looking to raise $163,000 during Heart Month, said Krista Noonan, the foundation’s area manager based in Peterborough.

Last year her area, which stretches from Trent Hills to the City of Kawartha Lakes and down to the lakeshore, raised $150,000 of the $4.3 million collected in Ontario.

The goal is $4.7 million in 2014; for all of Canada it’s $11 million, up from $9.7 million in 2013.

The campaign officially kicked off with a Heart Rally for volunteers held at Campbellford District High School last week.

Noonan said nine out of 10 Canadians have at least one of five factors – poor diet, inactivity, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, and stress – that increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Up to 80 per cent of heart disease and stroke can be avoided and while “a lot of progress” has been made over the years on prevention and the promotion of recovery, they still claim the life of a Canadian every seven minutes, she said.

The money raised is used to support research, to educate students about the benefits of eating healthy foods, exercise and not smoking, and to place automated external defibrillators in schools, community centres, pools, arenas and recreational complexes. The devices have saved 55 lives in the area, Noonan said.

The campaign has a few new wrinkles this year, including an online community chat room for canvassers to stay

connected, encourage each other and exchange tips and advice.

They also have a chance to win prizes worth $1,000 in fitness packages, healthy meals at their door or CPR training.

Last year’s campaign yielded 2,500 Gold Heart Canvassers, volunteers who raised more than $500. The goal next month is to have their ranks increase to 3,000.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation has invested more than $1.2 billion in research and health education since the 1950s, currently at the rate of $54 million annually. During that period the cardiovascular death rate in Canada has declined by more than 75 per cent, mainly due to research that has led to advances in surgical procedures, drug therapies and prevention efforts.

The rally concluded with the presentation of a $100 from the Campbellford Krista Noonan, manager of the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Peterborough area which includes Lionesses who have been long involved Trent Hills, spoke at a rally for Heart Month canvassers held January 13 at Campbellford District High School.

“Concept plan” on seniors supportive housing will get closer look

By Bill Freeman

Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Reeve Ron Gerow hands an application for a 128-bed long term care facility to Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal back in July, 2011. He is joined in the photo by landowners John and Gail Richards, Jim and Lorraine Smith. Also in the photo are Tim Harrold (far right) vice president of AON Inc. and Pastor Ralph Juthman of the HBM Ministerial Association which has worked with township council on the long term care-seniors development master plan. Photo: Bill Freeman

Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – The township’s seniors development master plan on long term care and supportive housing could fit quite effectively with Peterborough city and county’s ten-year housing and homelessness plan.

That thought emerged following a presentation to council by Susan Baque of Peterborough’s Housing Division and additional discussion about the municipality’s ready-to-go 128-bed longterm care initiative, which has been stalled for three years by provincial inaction.

Deputy Mayor Andy Sharpe thinks that the township’s pursuit of long term care beds “works had in hand here” with what the city and county are doing with their Housing plan.

Beyond the initial request for a privately built and operated 128-bed long term care facility, the HBM master concept plan also proposes seniors supportive housing as well as rent-geared-to-income apartments for seniors.

Sharpe noted that in the township there is probably a greater need for seniors housing.

“How do we start moving in not a different direction from long-term care but as a side-

marked for 18 acres of fully-serviced property off Old Norwood Road which already has received all the planning approvals needed for the project.

Reed said they can look at all the “models for delivery,” private sector and the not-for-profit municipal sector, to see where gaps may exist.

“How do we fill the gap?”

The document, she said, will look at how they initiate the process and find out who the partners are and what funding is available.

“We have a great plan in place and we’re covering all the bases,” councillor Jim Martin said.

Martin says it is “unfortunate” that with the municipality’s concentration on the long-term care facility “everything else is filling up behind it.

“This has been left so long and we thought we’d be there by now. Now, seniors are still being left out in the cold; everything is left out in the cold. Unfortunately we don’t have the first phase going,” he said.

Martin is hopeful that a spring election News – Campbellford – Command, Ladies Auxiliary The winners of the money Bursary, Ladies Auxiliary will turn the tide in favour of the HBM draw Royal Canadian Legion Charitable Foundation, Off plan.

Chief Administrative Officer Linda Reed agreed that the municipality’s comprehensive concept plan covered a broad range of seniors-related housing options.

“What we can do is start exploring how we go about initiating the steps for supportive housing (but) not taking away the direction for long-term care; to start the process for other housing,” she said.

Reed said staff can “build the document” and bring back more information for council discussion.

“We can build that plan.

You already have long-term planning in place for that.”

Curlers show plenty of heart for Camp Ooch

Sports – Norwood – It doesn’t get much better than the Curl for Kids bonspiel. The annual fundraiser for Camp Oochiegeas held at the Norwood Curling Club raised more than $8,000 for the multi-faceted camp and recreation program for children with cancer.

Norwood’s Curl for Kids is the second oldest continuous fundraiser for the privately-run and volunteer-driven Camp Ooch and that’s especially pleasing for chief organizers Marilyn and

Bruce Wharram.

Camp Ooch is “fabulous,” Marilyn said.

The Wharrams attended the camp’s 30th anniversary celebrations last year at its downtown Toronto campus at the Hospital for Sick Kids. There is also the new 18,000-squarefoot Ooch Downtown facility on Bathurst Street which provides a full range of activities for children who might not get the chance to travel to Camp Oochiegeas on Lake Roseau during the summer.

ITʼS TIME TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE INCLUDED!

“It’s wonderful, it’s really been great,” Marilyn said of the Wharram’s long relationship with the camp stretching over 25 years.

“It’s a very good feeling.”

The generosity of the curling and non-curling community in support of the spiel and the camp is remarkable too, she adds.

“I just can’t say enough about the amount of stuff people bring, in,” she says. “They have always been more than generous but I have noticed that they have given even more this year. That’s nice

for us. It’s always nice to be able to send the camp more.”

Nineteen businesses from the area stepped forward to provide donations and prizes and another 50 individuals contributed to the prize table or made cash donations.

“It is a real community effort.

I just can’t believe it,” said Marilyn. “Even people who aren’t here contributed.”

Winning the “A” draw was Jason Ferguson’s team of Amanda Hare, Dan Weatherup and Am-

One of the things that delighted the Wharrams about Ooch Downtown was the fact that while the facility was being designed young teens repeatedly suggested that they develop a place where they could learn to cook.

“Now they have a fullyequipped professional kitchen where they learn,“ she said.

Over 800 children and their families now enjoy programming every year through the camp at its various locations, which include Camp Robin Hood in Markham.

HELMS project helps novice curlers learn to play sport John Campbell

Sports –Campbellford – Another successful season of curling at Campbellford has come to an end for the HELMS (Health, Energy, Learning, Motivation through Sports) project.

Its purpose is “to open up community sports to people with intellectual disabilities,” said HELMS coordinator Toni Karby. They lack the skills to take part and so are reluctant to join in because “they don’t like to be ridiculed or found different,” but HELMS gives them the means to learn how to curl and play other sports, she said.

Karby oversees a partnership between a dozen agencies who support individuals with intellectual disabilities and area sports organizations, such as the Campbellford and District Curling and Racquet Club.

and as many volunteer helpers every Wednesday.

“We’ve had a number of Campbellford curlers who have improved so much over the past two years,” said curling club member Sandy Chapman. “If we can get them into a (regular) league it would be fantastic.”

She said the volunteers and curlers had “a lot of fun” together.

“The social part of curling is really important,” she said. “We always make sure we sit around and have a few laughs. We’ve gotten to know them, they’ve gotten to know us. There’s always a lot of chatter ... It’s been wonderful. It takes you out of yourself.”

Karby said HELMS, with the help of a $153,700 grant over two years, gives individuals with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to go skiing, snowboarding, and dog sledding as well as curl in the winter. In the summer, their choices include lawn bowling, sailing, kayaking and camp-

Rebels lose to Raiders on third-period power play goal

Sports – Campbellford – A power play goal by Tyler Romain at 13:39 of the third period proved to be the winner as the visiting Napanee

Raiders defeated the Campbellford Rebels 5-3 last Saturday.

Campbellford defender Grant Fry had tied the contest less than two minutes earlier

with his second goal of the season, just 47 seconds after teammate Jeremiah Doherty had pulled the Rebels to within one of the Raiders.

Andrew Doxtator gave Campbellford a 1-0 lead at 3:26 of the first period but

Alex Leclerc scored twice before intermission to give the visitors the lead and Romain added to it with the lone goal of the second period.

Napanee outshot Campbellford 44-33.

The Rebels lost ground in the Empire B Junior C Hockey League, falling to fourth place, as both the Amherstview Jets

and the Port Hope Panthers won to move ahead of Campbellford, which has 34 points, with eight games remaining (the team’s match against Port Hope last Sunday was postponed).

The Rebels, who have won five of their seven matches against the Raiders, were to play in Napanee January 21 and in Deseronto this Friday. The Storm

travel to Campbellford Saturday for a game at 7:30 p.m.

Three of Campbellford’s players – Mitchell Burke, Griff Rupnow and Andy Paul – will be taking part in this Saturday’s Polar Bear Plunge at Lions Park to help raise money for new equipment at Campbellford Memorial Hospital. The event takes place at noon.

Global phenomenon of Death Café coming to Northumberland

Lifestyle – Warkworth – A dialogue about death, in what is now a global phenomenon, is coming here with the launch of Death Café Northumberland.

“The object of a Death Café is to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives.”

Those are the words of Barb Phillips, founder of a group called “Last Breath” whose mandate is “to educate and support the opening of conversation about death and dying.”

For Phillips, “It’s about bringing consciousness to a topic that has been taboo in North America.”

A Thanadoula (or Death Midwife) who serves the dying and their families, Phillips and like-minded friends will be hosting a Death Café next month near Warkworth, followed by one in Brighton and one in Cobourg.

A director with the first residential Hospice in Northumberland County, The Bridge Hospice in Warkworth, she views the Death Café as an opportunity to “talk about death, to share thought provoking, engaging and life affirming conversation in a relaxed comfortable atmosphere enjoying tea, coffee and treats.”

The Death Café in Campbellford will be the first of a series of six to be held this year.

And they are free.

Phillips noted that a Death Café is a discussion group about death rather than a grief support or counselling session.

Phillips’ personal experience, being part of the end-of-life time for “a dear friend” led to asking some difficult questions such as what is it you want for your funeral, where do you want it, who do you want there to preside and more.

“When we were in the palliative care unit in the hospital in his last week of life I can remember thinking here is the cathartic moment,” she said.

“I was sitting looking at him on a December afternoon and thinking this is an incredible event that I am sitting here and experiencing and being privileged to be a part of and I need to know more about this because I am feeling the humanness of this experience and I was asking myself am I equipped to be present here,” she said.

“Let’s start planning now, let’s start having the conversations now.”

Phillips talked about “taking Death Café Northumberland is an opportunity for people to talk about death and dying in a safe, relaxed atmosphere. Barb Phillips, founder of a group ownership of grief.” called “Last Breath” whose mandate is “to educate and support the opening of conversation about death and dying,” talked with the Trent Hills Indepen-

Long-time maple syrup producers honoured

By Jack Evans

Lifestyles - Good things are on the horizon for maple syrup producers, including those in the Quinte district, experts told the annual information day for the Quinte Local of the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers Association.

The meeting held Friday in Tyendinaga Township Hall in Melrose, drew about 100

producers from across the sprawling area which runs from Campbellford to Kingston.

Also attending were representatives and their displays from several major maple production equipment dealers.

The good news, referred to by several speakers, is the onset of selling pasteurized sap as a canned or bottled beverage, following

recent official approvals for such a product.

Other good news is the fact that there are millions of more tapable maple trees, mostly on crown lands, that Ontario producers may be able to negotiate for. Talks are already underway.

George and Alice Potter (left) received recognition awards for their long service to the maple syrup industry from Ray Bonenberg, on behalf of the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers Association and Chris Koopmans (not in the photo), on behalf of the Quinte Local of the association. The long-time operators of Sandy Flats sugar bush near Warkworth announced their retirement after having sold the farm. Bonenberg, of the Renfrew area, is president of the Ontario association and Koopmans, of Waupoos in Prince Edward County, was re-elected president of the Quinte Local at the annual meeting Friday.

She is also a woman with a passion to “reempower, reclaiming the time honoured rite of passage for family directed home funerals,” and offers workshops and presentations on that topic.

In her role as a Thanadoula, she is hoping to affect a shift in the way society views end of life, death and dying, from something to be avoided, to something which is to be welcomed as a lifeenhancing experience.

“I strongly believe that it’s about families and individuals taking back control of how they grieve,

“I have tried many things before, but to no avail.”

which made me realize that it was special.”

The first Death Café will be held on Tuesday, February 18 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Glover’s Farm Market, Warkworth.

The second will be in Brighton on Tuesday, April 22, also from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the End of the Thread Restaurant.

information days, Ray Bonenberg, president of the provincial association, praised the work of the Quinte local and gave a report on new developments in the industry across Canada and the United States.

Counting maples on crown lands, Bonenberg commented: “We have more maples than Quebec has. There’s a lot of potential to grow our industry.”

He reminded that the longhorn beetle pest, while cut back, remains a serious threat as a new outbreak has been discovered.

Dr. Brenda Murphy of Sir Wilfred Laurier University, an agricultural expert, commented on the “huge contribution” by maple syrup producers to general rural “sustainability” by preserving and enhancing forest cover and habitat.

Both Bonenberg and newly re-elected president of the Quinte Local Chris Koopmans presented achievement awards to prominent long-time producers George and Alice Potter. The Potters have now formally retired, having sold their famous

Sandy Flats sugar bush to Derek and Angela van Stam, they announced.

Many years ago, the Potters pioneered a maple syrup festival based at their Warkworth area farm – an event which grew rapidly with widespread community and Northumberland County participation into one of the major maple festivals in Ontario.

Expressing thanks for the awards, Alice Potter told about how much they had enjoyed their many years as maple syrup producers, several major provincial awards and fellowship with other producers. “We’re going to remain as associate members,” she said.

Marc Curle of Campbellford, one of the local’s representatives to OMSPA, described projects underway to enhance benefits to association members.

Despite some recognized ice damage, particularly in Prince Edward County, field experts said last year was a good growing year for the trees. Those trees that show ice damaged can still be tapped, but not as intensively as normal, said Todd Leuty.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Why refurbish Darlington when there’s cheap power available alone. After a long spell of opposition whining about the high salary Strong earned of $400,000 per year, he made the extraordinary offer of working the last year for the sum of one dollar.

Shortly after when Conservative Mike the Knife rose to power, he appointed his campaign manager to the job for $1 million per year, and once again started stuffing hacks and bagmen into the management. Forward to present day where six per cent of those employed at OPG make over $100,000 and ten per cent are related to one another or live

together, some never bothering with job applications.

OPG under the Liberal government is now asking for a 30 per cent rate increase for its nuclear power generators.

Forty-three per cent of the rate increase in 2012 was due to nuclear subsidies.

A large part of my Hydro bill over the years has gone for nuclear cost overruns, expensive refits, and the stranded debt. Pickering was amortized over 45 years only to find the calandrias needed re-tubing after only 15-20 years at a cost of $1 billion each. And so it goes.

Wyley longs for the original June Cleaver

Dear Editor, That was a great article last week by our geezer-in-training, editor Terry Bush. That lad has real potential, capturing the angst of anyone over fifty and from a small community.

Where did we go wrong? Which generation dropped the ball leading to helicopter parents and thumb-enhanced, overweight, entitled little amoeboids?

My wife says it was the metaphorical moment when June Cleaver decided she wanted to go to work and the kids could go to daycare and fend for themselves. A guy can’t criticize the ladies’ decision to take early leave of the house and kitchen without looking like a sexist, dominant, mouth-breathing male pig. So by and large guys didn’t, and don’t.

But, I say, maybe, just maybe, if Ms. Cleaver

had decided to stay home until the kids were older, families wouldn’t need two cars, cable and internet, three giant TVs, and every kid over four wouldn’t need a cell phone and an iPad. They might like to play games in unstructured circumstances, (what? a pick-up game of ball or hockey or soccer or tag?) And kids might want to walk and run, swim without crouching endlessly behind a motorized bouncing tube, and ride a bike for miles and miles with their friends. Peanut allergies and diabetes might be less prevalent, and eleven-year-old girls might not be quite so “developed”.

Just saying. “Wait, ooch, ouch, get back June; stop hitting me with that $250 purse!”

Wyley Canuck aka Ken Leavens, Stirling

Not quite book burnings, but close Dear Editor, My mother-in-law claims Prime Minister Stephen Harper wears a wig. To no avail I have tried to persuade her that despite the fact his coif always looks perfect, never a cowlick to be seen, it is simply the high-priced image consultant he keeps by his side at all times that insures his uniformity. Steve understands the importance of image. Every time he appears in public it is a well-orchestrated bit of acting for the cameras. Chances are we will never know what it costs us to keep Steve’s hair under control but there were some insights last week as to what it costs us to keep him alive.

Three reports in a row on CBC’s national news got me thinking beyond the cost of Steve’s travelling beauty parlor.

First came his predictably hollow claim for protection of his beloved taxpayers’ dollar.

To realize their claimed savings Conservatives decided to throw seven libraries full of historical research done by the Department of Oceans and Fisheries into the dumpster. Scientists were once again appalled at this blatant destruction of the baseline data they need to understand how our lakes and rivers are faring today compared to several decades ago. Studies from the 1960s and 1970s pertaining to the proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline, which have never been digitized to make them available online, were shown the door.

Over breakfast this morning when I asked a friend, who holds

a Masters Degree in Marine Biology, why the Conservatives would destroy all of this research paid for by Canadians since the 1880s, the answer was, “When Conservatives are trying to get an oil pipeline through the Rockies approved they don’t want that kind of historical empirical evidence coming up when they are fast tracking the environmental assessment phase of their plans. They are willing to destroy anything that might stand in their way of selling all of the tar sands oil as fast as they can.” Conservatives claim they will save $430,000 annually by destroying these archives.

Dr. Peter Wells, an adjunct professor and research fellow at the International Ocean Institute at Dalhousie University in Halifax nailed it on the head when he told the Globe & Mail, “I see this situation as a national tragedy, done under the pretext of cost savings, which, when examined closely, will prove to be a false motive. A modern democratic society should value its information resources, not reduce, or worse, trash them.”

Harper’s security was next on the news after a pair of climate change activists, craftily disguised as waiters for Steve’s closed-door session with the Vancouver Board of Trade, popped up behind him on stage holding hand-written signs protesting the Conservatives’ attitude towards the environment.

Considering it costs taxpayers over $20 million per year to protect him, this appeared to

be a rather big hole in a very expensive security apparatus.

Reports indicated security costs for the Prime Minister have risen from about $10 million annually in 2006 to $20 million today. Of course this included the 2013 bill for $1,061,448 to ship his armoured limo to India in the C-17 Globemaster and the $45,000 tab we taxpayers picked up for him to watch the Yankees play baseball in Manhattan on Labour Day 2012.

Now comes Justice Minister Peter McKay’s announcement he is going to spend four million of our tax dollars on advertising to convince the schoolyard bully that moving his bullying onto the Internet is not a smart move. But bullies are not smart. Our four million tax dollars are actually just another Conservative “Tough on Crime” advertising campaign using our dollars as they manoeuvre to hold onto power in the 2015 election. When you consider the very negative ads Conservatives dropped on Justin Trudeau as soon as he was elected leader of the Liberals one might think the schoolyard bully might be taking lessons from the masters on Parliament Hill.

My only regret last week was that our brave young female protestor did not lean over and run her fingers through Steve’s hair. But in Harper’s world that might be a serious enough crime for her to do some mandatory time in one of his many new prison cells.

Alan Coxwell, Stirling

Darlington should be scrapped rather than carry on the same old game. Water generated power in Quebec can be bought for half the cost of that generated at a refurbished Darlington, assuming that the project’s cost estimates are anywhere near the final cost. This would likely be a first. The lines to carry power from Quebec exist; the offer is on the table; all that is needed is for the politicians to say no to their nuclear friends, if they can.

We could, of course, produce much more hydro-generated power

here in Ontario with small hydraulic units installed at existing dams. They would be closer to end-users and make the grid more flexible during power outages. With advise and specialized assistance from Hydro One staff, local municipalities would be less prone to falling into the techno traps experienced

by Bancroft Power. There is, after all, only one taxpayer for all levels of public servants from municipal, provincial to federal levels of government. They are all OUR employees.

Paul Whittaker, Gilmour

Just another misinformed celebrity Dear Editor, The late Scott Young was once a wellinformed sports columnist for the Toronto Globe and when I knew him he always expressed pride in the musical talents of his son Neil.

However, I’m not sure how proud Scott would be of Neil’s deceitful view on environmental politics. First of all, Neil is no longer Canadian and hasn’t been a resident for half a century, living instead in one of the world’s smoggiest cities, so he is hardly in position to be critical of one of major catalysts of the Canadian economy.

Neil Young started his career and honed his rocker skills in two-bit booze joints along Yonge Street in Toronto. Now that he’s a multi-millionaire he’s suddenly opposed to the capitalist system, leading a campaign against big oil even though the oil sands employ thousands of young Canadians and is one of Canada’s most valuable economic resources.

All this even though Young has to plead guilty of being an original capitalist.

If Young is so concerned about the so-called carbon imprint on the world maybe he should stay in his native California and cure some of the bigger environmental problems there. Los Angeles is one of the smoggiest cities in the world. I’ll start taking him seriously when he takes his show on the road in Saudi Arabia, Venezuela or Russia to shout his disdain for oil.

Until then he should keep his hypocrisy to himself. Young insults our intelligence by surrounding himself with the usual suspects, a few First Nations people and environmental fraud David Suzuki, figuring that’s all the facade he needs to fool most of the public.

Stick to rock and roll, Mr. Young, because your progressive politics is a little too obvious.

Dear Editor, In the recent exposure of excessive management with dubious work at Ontario Power Generation or OPG, we are back to the past. In the days of William Davis, Ontario Hydro was always a cushy job position for party hacks and cronies, yet not quite so blatant as now. When the NPD was elected and Maurice Strong was given the job as Chairman of Hydro, he set about getting rid of the overstaffed middle and upper management while leaving the boots on the ground (those who do the work)

Stuttgart’s Pig Museum and other oddities

us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.”

Next to the museum was a children’s area, where youngsters could play on a pig teeter-totter, travel on a pig train, or ride on a pig toy. Adults would perhaps enjoy the pig-themed beer garden, where they could view pig sculptures and art (including comic sketches of pigs drinking You’ll find a great variety of pigs in this museum. beer) while enjoying a cool brew at the end of their museum visit.

Along with this discovery of the largest pig museum in the world came other ‘insights’ including the ever-moving elevator that I found in City Hall. This old elevator does not stop when it reaches a floor. Rather, it’s constantly on the move, so I had to time my leap on and off and I learned that once one catches on to its speed and movement, it’s easy, so the elevator is often used by the employees.

I also found two statues of Wilhelm I in Stuttgart but they were not of the same man! The one statue was of Emperor Wilhelm I and the other was of King Wilhelm I and they lived in different centuries.

Yet another discovery was how the city of Stuttgart got its name. It’s from “Stuotengarten”, meaning stud horse farm.

It’s said that Duke Luidolf of Swabia founded a horse farm here in 950 and that the Old Palace was built to defend/protect it. Thus, the city’s name and coat of arms (with a black horse on its hind legs) is derived from this stud farm and that also explains the Porsche emblem as well for it also has this Stuttgart horse (since Stuttgart is the home base of Porsche).

By the way, the Porsche symbol’s background shield with the red and gold quarters, apparently is derived from the coat of arms of Wurttemberg, for Stuttgart had been the capital of the state of Wurttemberg prior to the consolidation of West Germany in 1949.

With this reference to Porsche, I’ve moved the conversation to cars, so I can mention yet another rather unique phenomenon I found in another car museum, the MercedesBenz Museum, where there were racing simulators set up.

There were warnings posted that these were not to be used by anyone afraid of dark, enclosed places, were pregnant, had a pacemaker, or had experienced a whiplash incident and there was a long lineup of eager schoolchildren ready to go!

You’ll find over 2,000 piggy banks in this museum.

Lifestyles - When I visited Stuttgart, Germany, I checked out the usual tourist attractions which included an exploration of the city centre with its eye-popping Palace Square (Schlossplatz), its crowded pedestrian-only shopping street (Koenigstrasse) and its spectacular overview from the summit of the Clock Tower (in the Hauptbahnhof/train station).

I also, of course, visited its two very popular car museums: the Porsche and the Mercedes-Benz Museums (which I’ve previously written about). However, I also discovered some other rather strange, unique attractions to add to this list and perhaps the most intriguing of them all was the largest pig museum in the world.

If you’re ‘into’ pigs, then put Stuttgart’s Schweine Museum on your list of places to visit, for it’s the ultimate porcine experience. It contains well over 40,000 pig artifacts and paraphernalia in 25 themed rooms on two floors and it’s quite a sight. I found this unique museum housed in what used to be a slaughterhouse and it now glorifies the pig. What a turnaround! There’s a history of the pig and a great variety of art and objects that feature the pig. However, I also found a restaurant on the premises, offering several pork specialties.

I visited the “golden pig room” where a massive, golden, rotating pig sculpture was displayed. I also checked out the “piggy bank room” with its more than 2,000 piggy banks. I also saw a “divine swine” section, and rooms of stuffed pigs, pig art, pig figurines, pig coffee mugs and antique collectors items. There was even a room dedicated to pigs and sex dubbed the “pig porn room”. Everything you ever wanted to know about the pig but were afraid to ask!

One of the piggy banks dated from the 13th century, and one of the many quotations on display on the museum’s walls was by Sir Winston Churchill: “I like pigs. Dogs look up to

Walter Gretzky a hit at Roots of Hockey dinner

And he had the over 200 people attending the dinner laughing uproariously as he did it.

Unlike the lore surrounding his son, Walter apparently did not build an outdoor rink in their backyard to help Wayne become a better hockey player, he did it for self-preservation.

“Forty-five years ago, the winters used to be a lot colder than they are today and everybody had an outdoor rink – the schools, parks, everybody,” he told the crowd. “I use to go to the outdoor rinks and kids don’t feel the cold until they come home and start to thaw out.”

He said he couldn’t sit in the car and keep it running because gasoline cost 18 cents a gallon then.

“One night, I came home and I said to my wife Phyllis, “Phyllis, this is so stupid! I go to these outdoor rinks and I freeze to death. You know what I’m going to do? I’m going to make a rink in the backyard and Wayne can stay there as long as he wants and I’ll be in the house where it’s nice and warm. Honestly, it was just selfpreservation,” he explained in a plaintive voice, eliciting laughter from the crowd.

Another of his hilarious stories concerned that very rink and his method of flooding it. At first he started out with a hose on spray and would stand there night after night flooding it. But as time passed, he came up with the idea of using a sprinkler so he could set it on the ice and leave it there for an hour and a half and then go out and move it to another area of the rink.

That system worked until one night Walter Gretzky had his audience laughing he fell asleep and woke up just a half uproariously during his talk on Saturday night. hour before he had to go to work at Bell

By Ross Lees

Sports – Quinte West –Walter Gretzky had them rolling in the aisles at the “Roots of Hockey” dinner Saturday night at the National Air Force Museum of Canada in Trenton.

Hockey’s most famous father proved over and over again that he has what it takes to entertain ardent hockey fans despite the aneurism he suffered in 1991, which has robbed him of his short-term memory and all memory from the early 70s until 2000.

The indomitable Mr. Gretzky spent the evening doing two things – signing autographs for all who wanted it and setting the record straight about his famous hockey son and their family life in Brantford, Ontario.

Walter Gretzky, third from left, flanked by event organizer Capt. Jeff Moorhouse on his left and 436 Squadron Commander Lt.-Col. Mark Goulden on his right, gets ready to drop the puck for the final game of the CFB Trenton Pond Hockey Classic at 4 p.m. on the afternoon of Jan. 18. Photo: Ross Lees

Canada. He rushed out to the rink and found a mound of ice with the hose leading into it. He tried to pull the sprinkler out and broke it.

He rushed into the house and asked Phyllis to go down to the hardware store and replace the sprinkler because he would be home at lunch to set it up again.

When he returned home at lunch, Phyllis was fuming and said to him,” Don’t you ever pull that damned stunt again!”

When Walter asked her what was wrong, she said, “Don’t get smart with me. Did you do that on purpose?”

Walter asked her what she was talking about and she promptly explained in no uncertain terms.

“I walked into that hardware store and it’s 15 below zero and I asked for a sprinkler. That guy thought I was crazy!”

Again, the crowd burst out laughing to Walter’s delight.

The Gretzkys had a strong feeling that Wayne was going to be a great hockey player by the time he was seven years old. Walter walked up to Wayne one Saturday night while Wayne was watching Hockey Night in Canada and saw him drawing lines on a piece of paper diagrammed like a rink. Wayne was following the puck as it moved around the rink. Where the lines crossed over and over again was where Wayne realized the puck went most often.

“He was already playing a thinking

game when he was seven years old,” Walter explained. “As you people know, Wayne’s game wasn’t speed, it was finesse and a game of thought, so that’s when it all started.”

Sometimes you wonder how he developed his skill when you listen to Walter. According to his father, Wayne’s first goalie was his grandmother, who would sit in her Lazy Boy chair and stop shots from a young Wayne in his stocking feet firing a sponge puck or ball with a miniature stick.

One night when another local hockey player much bigger than Wayne was holding Wayne against the boards so he couldn’t move, that same grandmother came down from her seat in the sixth row and started hitting the other hockey player with her purse.

“We never left Grandma Gretzky alone (at) the rink after that,” Walter noted.

While Walter had many stories to tell, we’ll leave you with just one more. Walter had been out on a speaking engagement one night (he was paid $10,000) just prior to Christmas and he arrived home with just about an hour and a half of shopping time left. He told Phyllis he had not had an opportunity to buy her a present, but if she told him what she wanted, he would go down and buy it right away.

Phyllis, ever the opportunist, asked him, “Anything I want?”

Walter of course replied in the affirmative.

Phyllis promptly responded, “I want a divorce.”

Walter came back with, “Hang on, I wasn’t planning on spending that much!”
