News - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Township of Havelock-BelmontMethuen has chosen a successor to Chief Administrative OfďŹ cer Linda Reed who retires on March 2. Pat Kemp, currently the CAO/Economic Development OfďŹ cer and Deputy-clerk in the Municipality of Trent Lakes (formerly Galway-Cavendish & Harvey) has been hired by HBM and will assume her position March 3. Council ofďŹ cially appointed Kemp to the CAO and Deputy-clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position during their regular meeting this week via a bylaw. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a unanimous decision of council and we are pleased that Ms. Kemp will be joining the township team,â&#x20AC;? HBM mayor Ron Gerow said. Mayor Gerow said the municipality undertook a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very rigorous recruitment processâ&#x20AC;? in an effort to ďŹ nd a replacement for Reed who has been with the township for just over three years, succeeding long-time CAO Diane Hill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ms. Kempâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge and experience were evident as she addressed the detailed questions presented by council,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Leal sympathetic with municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plight

By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock-BelmontMethuen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Peterborough MPP and Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal is genuinely sympathetic with Havelock-BelmontMethuenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prolonged and seemingly stalled campaign to bring a long term care facility to the community. He continues to work closely with council and staff on the file but frustrations continue to boil up and that has some councillors openly suggesting that long-term care could be a serious provincial election issue in the eastern part of Peterborough riding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to go to the opposition and at least to entertain them

as to how they can help (us) because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get anything (from the government),â&#x20AC;? said Councillor Jim Martin following a visit by Minister Leal to Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting. Martin noted that work on the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; master plan was started at the beginning of the last term of council and has been completed for the entire term of the current council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done everything we can do; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re (the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care) not doing their part,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to start looking for some other outside support because I think there will be an election.â&#x20AC;?

Martin knows itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy for opposition parties to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;they support us, but during the last election they did say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d help us wholeheartedly with this home. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get it rolling again because some people are too comfortable,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is still a priority of mine,â&#x20AC;? Leal said pointing to HBMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;activeâ&#x20AC;? long-term care file. Mayor Ron Gerow said he appreciated the fact that â&#x20AC;&#x153;something may be happeningâ&#x20AC;? but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean council and the municipality should quieten their lobby-

ing efforts. It is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;number one priorityâ&#x20AC;? for the community and for the entire county, Gerow said, suggesting council write another letter to Health Minister Deb Matthews with copies to MPP Leal and Premier Kathleen Wynne, a summer resident of HBM, â&#x20AC;&#x153;just for the record so it is absolutely clear.â&#x20AC;? The letter, he said, would remind the government that HBM is not going to back away from its effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We continue to talk about it and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a lot of things; we have asked for meetings. I still think

keeping our finger on the hot button is something we should be doing.â&#x20AC;? Gerow said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still waiting to hear when Premier Wynne is going to visit with council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She promised twice.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do think we need to be out there in the forefront somehow, some way,â&#x20AC;? he said. Gerow told Leal there is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;keen interestâ&#x20AC;? not just from individuals but from a â&#x20AC;&#x153;family perspectiveâ&#x20AC;? to have the facility built. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really at our wits end on this. We have done all the right things, made all the right preparations and the community is behind us. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get this done in 2014; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get this thing moving forward.â&#x20AC;? Please see â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ministerâ&#x20AC;? on page 3

Benefits of exercise to combat cancer focus of talk Healthcare Group, Campbellford clinic. “We’ve got our guidelines for exercise for diabetes, for heart health, for lung health … there’s all kinds of stuff but it’s only in

the last ten years people have started looking at cancer and what the benefits are there,” she told health care professionals of the Age Well Network at their recent meeting.

Reciting a litany of benefits she said, “In any population, exercise improves our weight and body composition, it eases our fatigue, it helps with bone strength, it helps with muscle loss, with loss of appetite, with depression and anxiety, hormone regulation, our quality of life and it helps with our survival.” She talked about how in 2007 the American Medical Association and the American College of Sports Medicine put together a campaign called Exercise is Medicine. “So the goal was to make physical activity and exercise a standard part of disease prevention and treatment medical paradigm in the U.S.,” she noted. “We have exercise prescription guidelines for cardiovascular disease for diabetes, for spinal cord injury, for obesity, for osteoporosis, cardiopulmonary disease, neurological disorders and now finally we’re getting into cancer,” she added.

tion, decreased sexuality and muscle weakness. “Cancer related fatigue is probably the most distressing treatment related symptom that people will report and is one of the reasons a lot of them will discontinue or reduce their treatment because they feel so darn tired,” she said, adding that related fatigue affects 70 per cent to 100 per cent of people undergoing treatment. “According to one study in 2005, 94 per cent of oncologists will treat pain, five per cent will treat fatigue,” she said. “One of the benefits of exercise is reduced fatigue.” According to Thompson, pain is another problem related to cancer or its treatment. “Pain will affect 50 per cent to 90 per cent of patients and it negatively impacts their quality of life and their fatigue and can be a predictor of survival,” she said. “A lot of patients’ concerns are they can’t tell what’s a normal pain and a pain they should be worried about.” Exercise will improve quality of life, depression and anxiety and constipation, the latter being “public enemy number one,” she noted.

A similar format will be used again this year, Hearns says, of the wintry version of the fall fair favourite. The derbies are a popular staple at the Stirling Fair each year, consistently drawing more than 1,000 people to the stands, and organizers opted for the winter experiment for the first time last year. And with the inaugural event managing to make a small profit,

The Municipality of Trent Hills (the Municipality) is initiating a planning process to assess the Campbellford Water Supply and Distribution System for the Campbellford service area (referenced herein as the Campbellford Water System). The Municipality has identified that the community’s water storage tank is in need of interior and exterior rehabilitation, which will require it to be out of service for approximately 8 to 12 weeks, during which time the Cambellford Water System will require provisions to maintain service and reduce risks associated with current treated water storage volumes. This need, coupled with the existing reliability and redundancy of the existing potable water treatment plant, has led the Municipality to consider permanent upgrades to the water system that will not only service the Campbellford community during the standpipe rehabilitation, but also ensure the continued provision of safe drinking water well into the future.

As part of the Class EA process for reviewing the Campbellford Water System, public comment during the evaluation of alternative solutions will be requested. The Municipality is planning to conduct one (1) public information session during the course of the study. Notice of this session will be provided at least two (2) weeks in advance. Project information will also be available to the public at the municipal office and the Municipality website, www.trenthills.ca.

The Municipality of Trent Hills, in partnership with the Hastings Helpers, is collecting information on residents who will have special needs and who may require assistance during and as a result of the upcoming bridge closure in Hastings. Information such as accessibility/mobility issues, medical issues, and other needs will be collected by volunteers during these sessions. Those unable to attend the session may contact Information Collection Coordinator Melody Macdonald at melody@trenthills.ca

We are interested in hearing any comments or concerns that you may have about this project. A public database of comments will be maintained and, with the exception of personal information, included in the study documentation that will be made available for public review.

Old-fashioned delights at sleigh ride By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - It was as quiet as paradise with soft ﬂakes of snow falling with only the sound a sleigh’s runner, the tamp of horse’s hooves and the occasional whinny to break the silence. The popular Havelock Odd Fellows Royal Lodge 286 sleigh ride returned to Ken Petherick’s property off County Road 46 north of the village and did so despite a winter that has been as unpredictable as it has been severe. Always at the “mercy of the weather,” the event, which started in 1994 at

Don and Eileen Gerow’s Shady Acres Farm, had taken a hiatus but returned on Saturday much to the delight of visitors who jumped on board sleighs driven by four different two-horse teams. “It’s peaceful, away from the hub bub,” said Jane Lester of Havelock who brought her family to the farm. “It’s peace and quiet away from machines. There are no engine noises whatsoever.” “I just thought it was a really nice day for a sleigh ride,” Lester said. “It’s just amazing and the power of the hors-

es, that’s real horse power up and down the hills.” “It’s almost like going into the past,” said the Reverend David Estabrooks a ten-year member of Royal Lodge 286. “It’s a good family event and it helps the community,” Estabrooks said. “If you’re from the city this is probably something foreign to them; the rural world this is not too foreign but for some it is.” “It’s nice to see families out,” added 45-year member Dick Preston. “The weather has been so bad; we’re at the

mercy of the weather, especially this year.” With icy conditions under snow they were not sure if the event would come off this year, Preston admitted. “Ken’s been working day and night on the trails; he kept persevering and worked on the trails for weeks; he just likes to do this, he’s a great guy.” As a charitable organization that holds strong to the “three links” of “friendship, love and truth,” Preston says the Odd Fellows are there to help when help is needed.

“We support most appeals,” he said, adding that the Odd Fellows and Rebekah’s helped start the highly regarded Camp Trillium, a childhood cancer support centre, and assisted in the purchase of the 60-acre Garratt’s Island on West Lake near Picton which has been renamed OuR Island in their honour. “It’s fantastic. I love it,” said teamster Ida Chamberlain of Havelock. “It’s just a day out and it’s beautiful. The horses enjoy the experience. It’s phenomenal.”

TD-Canada Trust donates $20,000 to mammography campaign By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - A $20,000 cheque from TD Bank Group has put the Flourish Campaign much closer to reaching its target of $650,000 for the purchase of a digital mammography machine for the Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH). In fact the campaign is so close to reaching its goal there are plans for an announcement in February as to when the unit will be arriving. Hospital CEO and President Brad Hilker said negotiations are under way for the purchase of the machine. “Bringing digital mammography to Campbellford Memorial Hospital is a top priority. This gift from the TD Bank Group will

bring us closer to our goal of having the new unit in place by the spring,” said Hilker. During the official presentation of the cheque John Russell, executive director of the CMH Foundation commented, “The doctors are really excited about the fact there will be digital imaging. When they request it now there is travel involved for the patient like going to Peterborough and the fear has been they wouldn’t go. So with this new machine we will be able to repatriate those patients. What we don’t want is for them not to have the screening done.” The Campbellford Memorial Hospital’s current mammography equipment is analogue and uses film/screen technology (FM). The mammography unit is 12 years

old and near the end of its working life. The film-processing unit is 13 years old. “We are honoured by TD’s generous support of our hospital and the surrounding communities we serve,” said Calvin Newman, chair of the CMH Foundation. “Fund raising for high priority equipment is the primary focus of the Foundation and this donation will go a long way to ensuring the hospital’s continued success and growth.” Bob Bennett, one of three honorary chairs for the Flourish Campaign, was on hand for the cheque presentation. “TD bank has certainly demonstrated great corporate citizenship. Helping with the purchase of the equipment is tremendous,” he said.

TD Bank Group presented a $20,000 cheque to the CMH digital mammography campaign which is part of the Flourish campaign: from left, Hospital CEO and President Brad Hilker; Bob Bennett, one of three honorary chairs for Flourish; Fern Julia, Campbellford TD Branch manager; Brett Prikker, relationship manager with TD Commercial Banking; Jessica Bond, associate TD Commercial Banking.

“This donation is very much in line with our key pillars at TD,” said Brett Prikker, relationship manager with TD Commercial Banking, who drove from Kingston for the presentation. “This is a great partnership for us. It was an easy decision. We like to get involved in smaller communities. Branch Manager Fern Julia [Campbellford] has spearheaded it and has been very strong on this,” he added. “TD is committed to the health of our communities and we are

proud to support the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation,” said Pietro Borracci, district vice president, TD Canada Trust. “With technology continuously evolving, it’s important that our healthcare workers are equipped with the right resources to do what they do best—care for their patients.” One of the main benefits of digital technology is the ability to manipulate the images, adjusting brightness, contrast, and magnification. Digital mammography has

been shown to be more sensitive than conventional mammography for detecting breast cancer in women with dense breasts—a group at high risk for breast cancer. It has also been shown to be more sensitive in breast cancer detection in women under 50. Another important benefit of digital mammography is the capability to store and transmit the electronic images over secure networks. Images can also be recorded to disk without any loss of information.

someone to administer the process; to morph into another type of seniors health group, perhaps with a member survey to gauge what that would mean; or take a hiatus and see if a new group springs up again. “Are these meetings a good use of our time?” asked Sharpe, who added, “We want to keep Trent Hills the best place to live. We want to be able to provide our clients and friends with the educational opportunities and knowledge we have.” Beverly Meyers organizer of a fitness and walking group at St. John’s United Church, said an email network, like one she knows operates out of Warkworth, might be a good idea. “I find it’s very affective. It’s nice to have speakers at meetings but a lot of it can be passed on and not too much manpower is required. It is a tremendous resource.”

“We recognized there was a need for these partners in Trent Hills to better communicate, stay in touch with local seniors, issues and events,” Sharpe said. The members soon realized that for various reasons, such as time commitments and location of partners that projects were difficult to carry out but networking was succeeding. “We did host several seniors fairs and educational lunch and learns for the community and numerous partnerships and offshoots because of our networking so we’ve grown a lot since 2008,” said Sharpe.

Seniors president wants to boost membership By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - Increasing membership and helping to boost programming opportunities are among the goals and objectives of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Seniors president Pete Clement. “I want to enhance the membership and make it more user-friendly,” Clement said in an interview at the club’s attractive George Street headquarters. The club has well over 60 members and Clement would like to see that number increase. He says that many years ago it reached to around 200 which is something to dream about but perhaps unrealistic. “I have approached seven people my age or a little younger and they’re still using their ATVs and going to the hunting camp. As far as they’re con-

cerned even though they’re technically getting their pensions, they’re still not seniors.” That’s one of the barriers to be overcome but Clement is confident in making inroads and has enjoyed the time he has spent with the club since becoming a member a couple of years ago. Two years ago he retired after selling his towing business and home in Peterborough and moving to Havelock where he and his wife had helped remodel his mother-in-law’s home; his mother-in-law moved into a seniors complex but not before signing him up as a member of the Seniors Club. “She signed me up so she could get rides to cards,” Clement quipped. He told himself that there was “no point in dropping her off at the door, I might as well [go] in and play.”

Soon he found himself nominated for a position on the executive and now he is their president sitting with past president Bill Pickering, first vice president Neilagh McCrone, second vice president Rita Hill, treasurer Jackie Wright and secretary Lillian Kearns. “It’s been quite an experience,” he says. Clement is pleased to see a resurgence of interest in carpet bowling which has also led to an interest in shuffleboard as well, two activities that were once popular in the club. “I was surprised at the response,” he admits. “Somehow or other it [carpet bowling] fell by the wayside.” Joining the club has been a wonderful way to meet people and become more involved in community events, Clement says.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Corruption and the economy Dear Editor, One of the best articles I have read on corruption and poverty is “Flipping the corruption myth” by Dr. Jason Hickel of the London School of Economics. The World Bank blames bribery and theft by government officials for between $20 billion and $40 billion stolen each year from the people of the developing countries. Dr. Hickel compares this three per cent of the total illicit flows from public coffers, with the $9 hundred billion which multi-national companies steal through tax evasion, transfer pricing etc. “This enormous flow of wealth is facilitated by a shadowy financial system that includes tax havens, paper com-

panies, anonymous accounts and fake foundations, with the city of London (UK) at the very heart of it. Over 30 per cent of global foreign direct investment is booked through tax havens, which now collectively hide one sixth of the world’s total private wealth.” With all the government spying going on, you may think governments would know who to charge over these lost billions. One of the eye-openers for me was the following; “London has maintained a number of quaint plutocratic traditions. Take its electoral process, more than seventy percent of the votes cast during council elections are by corporations – mostly banks and financial firms.

Public works “very busy” in battle with polar weather By Bill Freeman

The bigger the corporation, the more votes they get, with the biggest firms getting 79 votes each. This takes the USstyle corporate personhood to another level.” He continues by pointing out that many of history’s most famous dictators Pinochet, Mobuto, Mubarak (now Sisi), Suharto, Marcus, etc., were supported by a steady flow of western aid. This raises an interesting question; which is more corrupt, the petty dictatorship or the superpower that installs it? At the lower level of corruption those officials taking the bribes have to have someone with money and clout giving it to them. When the grease does rise to the surface, as in

News - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – It’s no surprise to learn that township public works crews have been beyond busy battling with what seems like an endless assault of winter weather. Director of Public Works Brian McMillan told council Monday that winter maintenance efforts were carried out 25 out of 31 days in December and for 16 days of the first 18 days of 2014. During the first week of January, staff spent a full day replenishing the 6th Line sand shed with winter sand and salt. They did the same thing again in the third week of January, said McMillan. Works crews have also been hard at work removing snow from village streets so they can be widened to avoid the risk of the possibility of flooding. “The roads were very narrow” in the village, McMillan said. Ninety per cent of the vil-

lage streets have been done once or twice and some up to four times, he added. Like other municipalities, HBM is also contending with a province-wide shortage of salt caused by the relentless weather that has produced intense demand for supply. Salt has been depleted at source, he said. There are some works yards in Hamilton and the GTA that still have some supply. McMillan said he ordered a couple of loads of salt on Friday and “hopes that will be enough to get us through. “We try to keep on top of that,” he added. The lead time to get salt directly from mines in Windsor or Goderich is lengthy. Mayor Ron Gerow offered words to public works staff on behalf of council for their “extra effort in the horrible winter we’ve had. “I’m sure they’re sick and tired looking at snow; I know I am.”

Connected to your community OPINION What’s in a name? Greenland’s race for modernity By Terry Bush

Editorial – Greenland has the highest suicide rate in the world: one in five Greenlanders tries to commit suicide at some point in their lives. Everybody in Greenland (all 56,000 of them) knows this. In fact, everybody knows quite a few people who have tried to commit suicide, and one or two who succeeded. So it is really a good idea to subject this population to an experiment in high-speed cultural and economic change? Greenland is not fully independent: Denmark still controls its defence and foreign affairs, and subsidises the population at the annual rate of about $10,000 Gwynne Dyer per person. But Greenlanders are one of the few aboriginal societies on the planet that is dominant (almost 90 per cent of the population) on a large territory: the world’s biggest island. And it is heading for independence. So the debate in this soon-to-be country is about what to aim for. Do you go on trying to preserve what is left of the old Arctic hunting and fishing culture, although it’s already so damaged and discouraged that it has the highest suicide rate on the planet? Or do you put the pedal to the metal and seek salvation in full modernization through high-speed economic growth while keeping your language and what you can of your culture? What’s remarkable about Greenlandic politics is how aware the players are of their dilemma and their options. “If you want to become rich, it comes at a price,” says Aqqaluk Lynge, one of the founders of the Inuit Ataqatigiit (Community of the People) party that ran the government until recently. Lynge doesn’t want to pay that price, and under the Inuit Ataqatigiit administration all mining was banned in Greenland. Quite apart from the environmental costs of large-scale mining operations, Lynge said, the many thousands of foreign workers they would bring in would have a devastating impact on what is already a very fragile Greenlandic culture. But the Siumut (Forward) party won last October’s election, and new Prime Minister Aleqa Hammond sees things

very differently. Essentially, she thinks modernisation has gone too far to turn back now. Better to gamble on solving the current huge social problems (like suicide) by enabling everybody to live fully modern, prosperous lives. If you’re no longer marginalised and poverty-stricken, you’ll feel better about yourself. With this in mind, she has issued more than 120 licenses for mining and petrochemical projects including a huge opencast iron-ore mine that would ship 15 million tonnes of highgrade iron concentrate a year (mostly to China), drilling platforms for offshore oil and gas exploration, and even mines to produce uranium and rare earths. She has made her choice, and she understands it. In a recent interview with The Guardian while she was visiting Norway, Aleqa Hammond said: “The shock will be profound. But we have faced colonisation, epidemics and modernisation before. The decisions we are making (to open the country up to mining and oil exploitation) will have enormous impact on lifestyles and our indigenous culture. But we always come out on top. We are vulnerable, but we know how to adapt.” Brave words, but few Greenlanders have the technical and managerial skills to get senior jobs in these high-risk, highcost enterprises ($2.5 billion for the iron ore mine alone), and most of them will not want the hard, dirty, dangerous jobs of the workers in the mines and on the rigs. If all goes well, they will no longer depend on the Danish subsidies that currently keep their society afloat, but they will just be shifting to a different source of subsidies. To the extent that a sense of cultural marginalisation and defeat, and a life without meaningful work, is responsible for the Greenlanders’ problems, it’s hard to see how more money from a different source will help. Or how adding a few tens of thousands of foreign workers from places like China to the social mix will help, either. Aleqa Hammond is damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t: leaving the people in their current predicament is not a good choice, but going flat out for modernisation doesn’t feel like such a good option either. It would be a good time to call in the cultural engineers, if such a profession existed.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Ready for senate reform Mr. Harper? Dear Editor, Bravo Mr. Trudeau. What a great and immediate beginning to Senate reform. It could not have been an easy decision and it certainly involves much more than creating an Independent group of senators able to form their own opinions. Free of party influence, they will make decisions on legislation without “prodding” and “guidance” from the governing party, which has been so severely abused by the Conservative government. These Independent Senators will no longer fund raise or organize campaigns for the Liberal Party and though this will no doubt have an impact on Liberal funding, it shows the importance the Liberal Party has placed on the Red Chamber fulfilling its role as the chamber of sober second thought rather than a room filled with party hacks whose only role is to rubber stamp Conservative legislation, no matter their own ethical and moral misgivings. Would Senators Duffy, Wallin and others, have found themselves in their current messy situation had they not been permitted to schlep across the country fund raising for the Conservative government to raise immeasurable amounts of cash for the party that had no problem whatever kicking them to the curb when times got tough. I very much doubt it. Perhaps their time would have been better spent doing the job

they were hired to do with taxpayer dollars. If elected, Mr. Trudeau has promised that all future senators will be chosen by an independent body, from the best minds and talents this country has to offer. There is certainly no downside to that! Prime Minister Harper may stand in parliament and make light of what just happened, but it was no small event. One can only imagine what might have happened to those monstrous Omnibus Bills had senators time to peruse them before they were shoved through the senate. The man who promised senate reform and to never appoint a single senator, has added 57 plus two; more than any Prime Minister in history. Mr. Harper and Pierre Polievre make light of Mr. Trudeau’s decision because they fear having to follow his lead and lose control of the senate, which they now use so irresponsibly. However, if as he said in parliament, the Prime Minister thinks Mr. Trudeau’s decision really is such a small matter, why not join him and make all his senators independents? After eight years of talk and no action and threatening to send us into another decade or more of constitutional battle, he now has an opportunity to do something concrete. Will he? Not on your life.

Editorial - Many of us enjoy a good heart-warming story. Others prefer something a little more twisted so they actively seek out weird news each week to help offset all the death and destruction they see while watching television. Sometimes, it takes a little digging and other times all you have to do is pull up the Toronto Sun website, hit news and when you see the drop down menu, it’s as simple as hitting the word “weird”. Last week, bringing up the rear after such inspiring headlines as, George Zimmerman wants to be a celebrity boxer, Heroin Happy Meal and Child steals grandma’s car after learning to drive through video games, was this nugget, Ohio woman wants to change her name to Sexy. Right away, you just know something has to be wrong with this woman. Maybe it’s an over-abundance of confidence. Maybe she thinks a name change will give her confidence. Maybe she’s the type of person who has no mirrors in her home. Maybe she’s sexy as all get out. In that case, she really wouldn’t need to change her name at all because whomever she passed on the street would just call out, “Ooooh, Sexy.” Why spend good money when all you have to do is saunter by? Judging by their attire, a lot of folks seem to want to convince us they’re something we can’t see for ourselves. I notice people all the time wearing sweat pants that say “sexy” across the area where they sit. I don’t always agree with their statements but then again I don’t know them personally so they could indeed be sexy on the inside or on the side I’m not looking at. Sometimes their t-shirts have the word “Cute” written on the front. If you think you’re cute and want to proclaim it to the world, who am I or anyone else to judge you just because we don’t happen to agree. In the case of the Ohio woman, she hates her given name so much, she’s loath to give it out; it’s that ugly. Her daughter is quoted in the Columbus Dispatch as saying her mother will ground her if she ever says it out loud. And what on earth could this hideous name be? Hold onto your hats. It’s Sheila Crabtree from Licking, Ohio. Personally, I’m of the belief that Sheila is the least problematic of the two names she’s saddled with and where she’s from might also be cause for some concern. Can you imagine being introduced to her for the first time after her proposed name change. “Hi, I’m Terry from Stirling and you are ... I don’t think our friend Sheila has really thought this through. What’s the problem with the name Sheila? Ten million Australian men don’t have a problem with the moniker other than maybe getting their many Sheilas mixed up at times. With a Crabtree at the end, no worries, mate. Our Sheila is certainly pragmatic. She wants the name Sexy because she wears Victoria’s Secret undergarments but if that name, Sexy Crabtree, isn’t a starter then she’ll settle for Sparkle instead. One would think as a newspaper editor, I’d be in the know about such trends as far as names go, but I don’t think I’ve ever run into anyone named Sparkle or Sexy. After years of dealing with whatever name is popular on the soaps at any given time, I almost think it’s time to revert to the names we grew up with when I was younger. Back then, we had a roving group of troublemakers on our street and my own grandmother was one of the ringleaders. You’d see them walking down the road, sporting their red and white gang colours, trademark Canada Day umbrella hats adorning their heads. Ada, Myrtle and Mabel strolling along with such broad smiles on their faces, you just knew you should give way to them and step off the sidewalk if you saw them coming. They had trouble written all over them and probably the same Playboy Playmate bunny logos just above their bikini lines that are so common today. They felt no need to change their names to something ridiculous, they were who they were … ruffian quilters and they didn’t care who knew it. I’m glad I was on the good side of them, that’s all I can say. If I wasn’t, I probably would have had to deal with their friend Gladys who lived just down the road. There was evil lurking just below that very friendly exterior I’m sure. As the owner of a given name that has somehow become obsolete to today’s parents, I’m quite concerned that I’ll never come back into style as we cycle between new and old. Same thing goes for my great aunt’s name. Now there was a name that would have made a lot more sense than the word “Sexy” written across the back of a pair of sweatpants and nobody would ever second guess it. What’s wrong with calling your daughter Fanny nowadays anyway.

February means catalogue time

The Good Earth:

Dan Clost Lifestyles - Most of us gardener types enjoy this time of year for only one reason and it ain’t fer the white stuff. We don’t truly enjoy the snow.

to have huge stacks of them showing up in the mailbox during January...I think the posties drew lots to see who would be stuck with me on their route. Remember back in the day when snail mail was the only mail and letter carriers would have two bags slung over their shoulders? In January, our carrier had a St. Bernard hauling a little sled with nothing on it but my catalogues. Okay, I did exaggerate a titch. I would stack the little treasures on a table near the living room armchair, watching them pile up until almost tipping over, just waiting for February. These days, working in a nursery/ garden centre, I have access to just about every catalogue on the planet. While it’s true that we all can go online with our computers and peruse any seed-house offering we wish, it’s just not the same.

so. This business is as competitive as any other and these folks didn’t fall off the turnip truck yesterday. They know what they can charge, to the penny. The real differences will show in the quality of the product; which company offers up the best pruned trees, the best packaging, the best delivery charges and scheduling, the best follow-up service and so on. That doesn’t mean that these catalogues are less glamorous then the retail offerings; in fact, the only ingredient missing is the florid prose. Some of the photography is spectacular, especially the covers and ads for NVK. For the niche nursery, i.e., the ones that focus on a single plant, Q&Z from Illinois gets my vote as the best. They breed and sell hostas. Their catalog gives the provenance of each cultivar including who developed it as well as all the usual growing information. It’s sort

of like a mini-Dirr but with pricing. I’ve got stuff from Uxbridge, Kobes, BTN, Sheridan’s, Connon’s (pick one), Kraus, Dutchmaster (all Canadian companies) as well as Schmidt’s, Sloan’s, and a few other sundry American firms. Once you’ve read through them you have a very good idea of what each plant is about, what will be available to customers this year. I can tell you that ash trees (Fraxinus sp) are not prominent on the offer sheets. So, GR, a little bit of insider knowledge was just imparted to you. If the trade (retail outlets, landscapers etc.) all pay close to the same amount at purchase time, you might question why the price you’re being charged is different depending on where you’re shopping. Lots of reasons for that, all valid; but, they do make a difference in the big picture. A prudent shopper will take time to discern those reasons.

Lifestyles - Winter driving is no different in a hybrid or electric vehicle than in any conventional car or light truck. Front and rear wheel drive cars do behave differently, but because the vast majority are front wheel drive, we need not discuss that. BTW, you can read information about the different recovery techniques between front and rear wheel skids (not drive) in the link at the end. A pickup truck may need extra weight at the rear to avoid spinning its wheels, and an easy touch on the pedals. At the first snowfall of every winter, far too many Canadian drivers are being overwhelmed by the road conditions we encounter on that day when the streets are suddenly white. In younger years, this writer has driven in various winter rallies; one memorable event was called ‘Dice on Ice’ — and it was. But even with experience driving in difficult conditions, it takes a certain amount of time, and care and caution, getting used to driving on that white stuff again. On an empty parking lot, one can explore the limits of adhesion under different conditions, while steering, braking with ABS, or accelerating. We had plenty of opportunities with adverse conditions during the holidays; who would have guessed it would come so soon and so heavy? Patience with other drivers is the first order of the day. Having a light grip on the steering wheel and developing a feel for what the front wheels are doing takes time. We depend on heavy footwear to get around in winter, but boots are getting in the way of having a sensitive touch on the pedals. It is no

collective minds? We’re taking kids as young as Grade 6 and holding dances during school hours. Why encourage kids that young to pair off? I got my first “boyfriend” because of a middle school dance in Grade 7. I’d never even thought of dating him before, but he asked me to dance, and all of a sudden we were “going out”. Looking back it was embarrassing, but then all I felt was pressure. All the girls were wondering, “Is anyone going to dance with me?” And all the boys were wondering what the girls would wear. Kids who had never thought of asking someone out suddenly got fixated on it. Ask a school principal and they’ll likely say they only hold these dances because parents insist on it, and that’s probably true. Too many parents think “it’s so cute” when little Jenny has a boyfriend at ten. But even if this starts out as clean fun, the younger kids start to date, the more they’ll experiment as they age. Do you really want your child going down that road? Maybe some parents want it, and likely a lot of the kids do, too. But that doesn’t mean other parents have to stand for it. You could suggest a square dance caller instead. You could offer to host a party with hula hoop contests and limbo contests instead of a traditional dance. You could pick up your kids early and take them home that day. Or better still, you could ask at the next PTA meeting “What advantage are we getting from asking 12 and 13-year-olds to pair up?” Because unless you can tell me the benefit, I’ll never believe that it will outweigh the potential harm.

coincidence that racing drivers wear extra-light driving shoes. BTW, my brother told me that in the army soldiers learned to drive a tank by having to wear only socks during the first days of driving training. Winter weather for us means mostly snow, however, an article from the Washington Post claims that, “There really are 50 Eskimo words for snow.” We may be able to differentiate between powder, wet and packed snow, but that is about the extent of my connection with winter. Ice of any colour is dangerous. Rather than carrying on about how to drive in these conditions, let the tips from Transport Canada (link at the end) tell us what we should do, or not do, in order to “arrive alive” when the conditions on highways and byways can be hazardous. A few of the tips are: Install four matching winter tires; learn and practice winter driving techniques before you need them; remove all snow from your vehicle before each trip; fill up on winter washer fluid in the -40°C temperature range; take a fully charged cell phone with you; slow down and wear your seatbelt. Using four matching tires improves vehicle handling. Don’t mix tires with different tread patterns, internal construction and size. Transport Canada also advises to ”Stay calm if you get trapped in a storm or snow bank.” That’s easy to say from a warm office, but in reality, it could save a life. You can find all the tips at http:// www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/ safevehicles-safetyfeatures-wintertiresindex-468.htm

Councillor responds to controversy By Ray Yurkowski

News - Brighton – At their regular meeting on Monday night, municipal council not only approved an open letter addressed to the group but also invited the author to address them at a future session. The correspondence, penned by Alexander Waddling, executive director of ‘Ride For A Dream’, a non-profit campaign seeking to end violence against women, was in response to a local firestorm unleashed over a comment made by Councillor Craig Kerr during question period at the conclusion of a council meeting on November 18. “I will say that this question is really

posed in the same vein as, ‘have you stopped beating your wife?’” said Kerr, in reply to a question posed by resident. “The comment that was made … is an old idiom in response to when someone is asking a loaded question, and perhaps at one point was seen as being acceptable or common,” wrote Waddling. “It effectively made light of a situation many women find themselves in, and in doing so, reduced their trauma to an anecdote.” “In light of what has happened since the last meeting (on January 20), I do want to address this issue,” said Kerr, on Monday night. “Unfortunately, the matter didn’t end there. There have been numerous Twitterings, bloggings,

Facebookings, letters to the editor, coffee shop condemnations and the enlisting of a national organization that advocates against violence toward women.” “Tonight I learned there is a petition circulating in the community in regard to myself and this matter,” he added. “The first of these communications has been an attempt to portray me as a person who supports violence against women, who makes jokes about violence against women, who makes inappropriate use of the law, who scurried away to hide from giving an apology, to being disrespectful of citizens at large, of being insensitive to women’s issues, and a person who is an appropriate target for the women of this

Launch of Winter Wednesdays includes hors d’oeuvre and chocolate tasting Entertainment – Campbellford Aron Theatre will launch its Winter Wednesdays movie series in style Feb. 5 with two gala events. The first movie is Haute Cuisine, a film about food, France and a female chef. It’s based on

a true story. Series ticket-holders will get to sample complimentary French hors d’oeuvre prepared by chef Tina Moorey of On the Side in Warkworth before the 2 p.m. matinee. For the 7:30 p.m. showing, Joe Marth, of Joey’s Chocolate

bar in Warkworth, will lead series ticket-holders through a chocolate tasting that pairs chocolate with French wines. Both events will begin an hour before the movie’s scheduled start, and include a cash bar for French wines.

Sno Smash returns to fairgrounds this weekend

News – Stirling – Following its successful debut last winter, the Stirling Agricultural Society will be hosting its second winter demolition derby at the fairgrounds this weekend. Agricultural Society Treasurer Roxanne Hearns says volunteers have been preparing for Sno Smash 2014, scheduled for Saturday afternoon, with the hopes of drawing another hearty crowd of spectators to the chilly and slippery contact sport. In late February last year, crowds well in excess of 500 people arrived to take in the mechanical mayhem from the bleachers set up along the edge of the fairgrounds main horse ring. Throughout the afternoon, about 40 cars and trucks battled for survival in a series of heats that ended when a single vehicle remained operational amid the steam and debris of the others. A similar format will be used again this year, Hearns says, of the wintry version of the fall fair favourite. The derbies are a popular staple at the Stirling Fair each year, consistently drawing more than 1,000 people to the

stands, and organizers opted for the winter experiment for the first time last year. And with the inaugural event managing to make a small profit, Hearns says, organizers are hopeful the crowds will return this weekend. Derby heats begin Saturday at 1 p.m. with an admission price of $5. Sno Smash 2014 coincides with the Fourth Annual StirlingRawdon Mill Pond Hockey Tournament, held at the other end of the village on Saturday, beginning at 8 a.m. and running throughout the day. A section of Mill Street between James and Edward will be closed for the duration of the tournament and local police are advising drivers to use extra caution as a result of the closures and traffic disruptions.

Kerr recalled a long telephone conversation with Waddling, which ended with a commitment to convey some of the Ride For A Dream ideology at the council meeting. “I will say, sincerely, that my impromptu remark in response to a loaded question inadvertently trivialized a very important issue: violence against women and I very much regret that fact,” said Kerr. “If you wish to understand the context and the reasoning behind why so many have taken issue with this, I would be happy to find an occasion to sit down with you and discuss it further,” concluded Waddling in his letter.

community to rise up against.” Kerr maintains, before the January 20 council meeting, the only request for an apology “came in a cryptic email on December 14,” one month after the original incident. “For the record, I have never refused to make an apology as has been alleged,” he said. “All of these events have added up to a very carefully orchestrated campaign that is designed to damage my reputation and standing in this community. And it’s clear to me that I have been damaged by this reckless, over-the-top campaign. Resolution is going to be complicated and it may well be dealt with at another time and in another forum.”

Early Years families welcome Year of the Horse

News - Hastings - Early Years families and friends in Hastings welcomed the Year of the Horse during a special Chinese New Year’s celebration at the Civic Centre last week. The colourful and food-rich party capped a snowy week of celebrations that began with a postponed Family Literacy Day gathering featuring Trent Hills town crier Tom Kerr. “It’s another learning experience with reading and family participation; it really does cap off the week,” said Angie Nestoruk of the OEYC. The New Year’s celebration took place on a school P.D. day so there was Laura Cassidy-Lobb of Hastings shows off one of the crafts she made during the Chinese New Year’s party hosted by the Ontario Early Years Centre in Hastings.

“If they’re involved in the cooking they’re more likely an even larger group of guests at the centre to enjoy a special circle time, to eat it,” she says. The Hastings OEYC has also held clothing exchanges crafts (horse lanterns and zodiacs) and Chinese delicacies prepared by Pam during special school P.D. days something Nestoruk calls Stuckless of the Kawartha Pine Ridge “sharing the caring.” Among the donated items was a large bag of clothing District Health Unit. “This is our second year and it’s donated by local Rotarians. getting bigger,” said Nestoruk. “I’m ecstatic; it’s a great local community event.” The idea of holding a party came from an OEYC parent and Nestoruk was so pleased with the response that she was anxious to organize another one this year. She would like to hold other special days celebrating international cultural events. There was lots of orange and red, traditional Chinese colours of joy, at the centre and every visitor received a fortune cookie along with a traditional “lai see,” a red envelope Chinese families use to provide “good luck money” to children. Stuckless prepared “easy fried rice” and “healthier rice pudding” and talked to youngsters about the ingredients and how the dishes were prepared. They could even try out some authentic chopsticks. Stuckless supervises the popular collective kitchen program in Hastings and is a ﬁrm believer in allowing Angie Nestoruk of the Ontario Early Years Centre in Hastings handed out fortune children to participate in cookies and traditional “lai see” envelopes during the Chinese New Year’s party they preparing simple meals. hosted at the Civic Centre last week.

Here we have Blue (adopted – yay!) Spike and Grey. These three kittens were brought to a home in Hastings by their mother and left on the doorstep when they were about 5 weeks old. They have been in foster care ever since. Spike he is a little spitfire, he loves food and can be easily won over with treats. When you get him relaxed, he is incredibly sweet and cuddly. Spike likes to play with his foster parents and his siblings. With his personality, Spike will

Having two kittens is a great idea for those who are away all day at work so perhaps consider adopting them together. Your kitten will have a friend to keep him company and you get double the laughs and joy watching them play and snuggle. Grey is a lovely little prince, an adorable dark grey kitten. He has very soft fur and is a happy, healthy and rambunctious little guy. Grey is a little shy around new people. He likes to come for cuddles and pats from his foster family and enjoys sitting with them. While he loves to hang out with his siblings but is quite independent too. Please check out our website for more beautiful cats and kittens for adoption at www.catcarespayneuter.com. We are still reducing our adoption fees to $75 for kittens and $50 for cats. We are always in need of cat food, litter and foster homes. Thank you for supporting Cat Care Spay/Neuter Initiative.

Mumby operates Whiskers and Wags, (www.whiskersandwags.ca), a pet sitting and dog walking service. “Since I was a kid animals have always been my passion,” she said when interviewed at her home in the country on Norham Road near Warkworth. “I got a call from a distraught neighbour who told me that she and her sister had been out for a walk and had heard a strange noise up ahead. When they arrived at the location, one tiny tabby kitten came crawling out of the snowfilled ditch followed by two others,” she explained. “The sisters were horrified as it dawned on them that some wonderful piece of humanity had thrown these three tiny kittens in the ditch and left them to die.” The sisters gathered the kittens up and took them to their barn where they warmed and fed them, then went home to decide on a game plan. “The next morning I got a distressed phone call from them, telling me what had happened, they got choked up and told me that two of the kittens had died overnight and did I know what could be done for the remaining kitten,” said Mumby. Milo has definitely used up one of his nine lives after being rescued from a “It took me all of two seconds to think ditch where he and two other siblings had been dumped just before Christ- . . . bring it down here!

with a dose of Advantage.” Mumby prepared her spare room for the new guest. She keeps a large cage in there as she fosters cat families from the Quinte Humane Society, where she used to work. The kind-hearted sisters gave her a cash donation to care for the kitten. The next thing Mumby knew she had given the feisty feline a name – Milo. “Over the next three weeks Milo grew stronger, fatter, bolder

and noisier. I have never had such a loud, vocal and extraordinarily affectionate kitten. Milo didn’t want to be alone in the room and wailed uncontrollably whenever I left,” she said. Needless to say he was soon out exploring the house which is home to a Doberman named Siren, and two other cats from the Humane Society named Hobbes and Martha. Although Mumby and her husband Tom had intended to only foster the kitten, Milo soon

became a treasured family member. “You could have knocked me down with a feather when my husband said he can stay,” said Mumby, while Milo climbed onto her lap. “I am convinced these little ones find their way to the people they are destined to be with. But I cannot figure out for the life of me why some of them have to suffer so to get there. I guess we will never know.”

Hydro rate increase not as high as people say: MPP

Â By Bill Freeman

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Asphodel-Norwood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stung by criticism of provincial hydro rate hikes outlined in his governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Long Term Energy Plan (LTEP), Peterborough MPP and Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal fired back saying the increase â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not 40 per cent over three years (but) 56 per cent over 20 years.â&#x20AC;? Leal made his comment at Asphodel-Norwood council but did not address the fact that in the LTEPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own charts it projects the average household using 800 Kilowatts of electricity every month to see an increase from

$125 in 2013 to $178 in 2018, a hike of 42.4 per cent, or $53 with the planned removal of the Ontario Clean Energy Benefit (OCEB) or 32.3 per cent ($43) with that credit still in place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In rural Ontario this is a big issue,â&#x20AC;? councillor Mary Hay reminded Leal. He deflected that criticism with a comparison of rates in the five other provinces that have long-term energy plans (Ontario produces a LTEP every two years) which indicate that the 2.8 per cent annual increase is the lowest of the group with Alberta (3.7 per cent) and Saskatchewan (3.3 per cent) the highest.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any increase in any commodity like electricity is always problematic,â&#x20AC;? Leal said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to balance it through generation, distribution and transmission.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recognize the impact on low income people so over the first 3,000 KW of electricity the Clean Energy Benefit (OCEB) allows a ten per cent reduction,â&#x20AC;? he said adding that people can also qualify for assistance through the Ontario Trillium Benefit Plan. The Clean Energy Benefit is not expected to last past 2015 in its present form. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the challenges that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

had is to build in reliability and dependability into the system. That takes a fair amount of investment,â&#x20AC;? said Leal. Since 2013, the provincial government has spent $19 billion in renewing the provincial transmission and distribution network, he noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I talk to businesses in the city and county reliability and dependability come to mind. There is a price to be paid for that reliability. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very delicate balance.â&#x20AC;? Hay also asked about overpaid Hydro One and Ontario Power Generation executives.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking at that?â&#x20AC;? she wondered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a concern to us all,â&#x20AC;? Leal admitted, noting that three senior OPG executives were recently fired after the release of the Ontario Auditor Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual report. OPG has 94 executives listed as vice presidents or above in their job description. The top five executives at OPG will be eligible for yearly pensions of between $188,000 and $760,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are large corporations but they have a responsibility to everyone in the province,â&#x20AC;? said Leal.

Propane shortages, price spikes worry council, MPP distribution problems caused by severe weather and the shutting down of the western leg of the Cochin pipeline that brought propane from Alberta to the American midwest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given the role of the federal government in protecting consumers and ratepayers with regard to oil and natural gas supply, I would hope that similar efforts will be undertaken to monitor the propane industry which supplies heating fuel for Canadian families across the country,â&#x20AC;? Chiarelli writes to federal counterpart Joe Oliver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would be most interested in understanding your analysis of the propane shortage and, given that it is inter-provincially transported, what measures

your government has, or is contemplating undertaking to address and remedy the shortages and the accompanying price spikes.â&#x20AC;? He noted that the wholesale price of propane rose 109 per cent between October 4, 2013 and January 24 and that inventories of â&#x20AC;&#x153;primary underground storageâ&#x20AC;? were down 26 per cent from January, 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The issue has been exacerbated by lack of public information,â&#x20AC;? he said calling for a public response from the National Energy Board. Chiarelli would like to see â&#x20AC;&#x153;pan-Canadian responseâ&#x20AC;? but says if the federal government does not act soon other provinces may take action on their own. Â He is calling on a tele-conference

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Asphodel-Norwood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Concerns about the shortage of propane and huge price spikes have made its way to Asphodel-Norwood council. Council has endorsed a letter Peterborough MPP and Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal presented to them last week calling on the federal government and the National Energy Board to â&#x20AC;&#x153;take actionâ&#x20AC;? as soon as possible. The letter was prepared by Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli in consultation with Leal and released the day council met. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very serious issue (and) thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asking the government of Canada to find out exactly whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on,â&#x20AC;? said Leal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be looking for a response as quickly as possible because of the urgency.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important that municipalities across Ontario help us out in our request to the federal government,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an issue that my office has been called about frequently.â&#x20AC;? Leal said it is particular concern for (homeowners and businesses) in rural communities â&#x20AC;&#x153;moving to propane as a source of heating.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Doug Pearcy agreed telling the MPP that he got a call from one resident who said his propane bill had gone up to between $200 and $250 a week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s killing him with this cold,â&#x20AC;? Pearcy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very interested to get to the bottom of this,â&#x20AC;? Leal added. The Chiarelli letter cites propane shortfalls in eastern Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador and parts of the United States and catalogues a number of factors contributing to the shortage including transportation and

Municipalities have reached “threshold” mayor says By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - Municipalities have reached the “threshold on a number of fronts,” says Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Mayor Ron Gerow. Faced with an ever-expanding roster of mandated programs, pared-back funding and “soft downloading” of programs and not-so-stealthy offloading of upper tier responsibilities, Gerow says municipal councils face unprecedented future challenges. Mayor Gerow says HBM met most of its goals in 2013 but faces some big issues in 2014 including escalating policing costs, ongoing lobbying for a long-term-care facility in the township, frustrations with the Crowe Valley Conservation Authority and the phasing out of the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF), a key provin-

cial funding tool. There’s also the loss of dedicated provincial funding for capital work on the Highway 7 “connecting link” in Havelock which has forced the township to look to another government program to pay for Highway 7 road improvements. This is in the wake of an extra $18,000 cost paid to the private contractor hired by the province to do maintenance work along Highway 7. Policing costs and a proposed new per household billing model loom large for HBM and other municipalities serviced by the OPP. “Municipalities have little say in the process and how that unfolds,” says Gerow who will be part of a delegation to speak to ministry officials at the Rural Ontario Municipal Association conference this month. “There are a lot of questions that have to be answered; we under-

stand the challenges for the OPP and the government,” he says. Gerow says they have to “make it clear” to the minister and officials what kind of “stress this (new billing model) will put on municipal funding availability and on the local tax base. I hope the minister will listen; it’s a province-wide issue, not just local by any means. “We have to work toward some new ideas about how we’re going to approach policing and how we’re going to pay for it,” he said. How municipalities pay for things without crushing property taxpayers is a daunting task, Gerow says. “Policing is one of them. We understand there is a need for a high level of policing in the community [but] it comes at a cost that is very challenging for property taxpayers to deal with,” he said.

“There is a need for a major re-think on the whole approach to some of the provincial-led services including policing but also others. Put it under a microscope and take a look at where it might be better funded from rather than the property tax base. I know that will open up a whole new set of discussions but I really think we need to take the time to do that.” HBM enjoys a high level of support through the OMPF ($915,000 in 2014) but is preparing for its disappearance by 2018. Fortunately, Gerow says it’s not something they’ve been “selfreliant” on. “But how do we fill those voids where that money has been used, helping to fund things we otherwise would not do? It’s a serious situation.” They need to have an “earnest

conversation” about the “whole funding situation between the province and municipalities.” “Small municipalities are going to face some serious consequences unless we have

that heart-to-heart. It’s about future planning and the needs of rural centres. We’ve come to where the line in the sand is. Something has to happen.”

Tuesday Night artists featured at gallery By Richard Turtle

Entertainment – Stirling – For a small group of area artists it is the first public exhibition of their collective work but more importantly, they say, it is an opportunity to introduce themselves to the community and invite others to join them. The Tuesday Night Art Group meets weekly at the Grace Bible Chapel explains founding member Debbie Aide, “and we want people to realize the doors are open.”

Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Mayor Ron Gerow says municipalities have reached the “threshold” in a number of areas.

Members work with different materials, have differing levels of experience and beginners are welcome, Aide says, adding all have a passion for painting and a willingness to share their work.

The meetings began about two and a half years ago, she says, when a small number of painters interested in attending regular evening sessions were unsuccessful in finding an existing afterdinner group in the village. “They said, ‘Why don’t you start one?’ so that’s what we did,” she says. And with the regular get-togethers, that run from 6:30 p.m. until about 9 p.m. every Tuesday, the regular participants are offered an opportunity to share their work, exchange ideas and continue their work on individual projects. “Everyone brings along a project and their own materials,” Aide explains of the meetings that generally involve about eight of the group’s members who spend about two hours painting and socializing each week. All of the group’s regular members are displaying paint-

Students entering the world of science on many levels from their desk The school’s 48 teachers use it to lead the way in interactive lessons that engage the students, who follow along on net books the school makes available to each class, from a total of 48 devices. “It helps them help the kids,” Elassal said. “It’s another resource and it’s 10 times better than any textbook.” School principal MaryBeth Zeggil said students can pull information on their own from a website they can also access at home that offers upto-date information linked to the curriculum. “We’re testing it out ... working through the little kinks here and there,” Elassal said, “but on the whole it’s been highly successful, teachers really like it.” And “anything that engages the kids is going to bring with it academic performance improvements.” Zeggil said the new digital resource ties in with one of the school’s goals, to give students the tools and knowledge “to be 21st century learners, thinkers” using advanced technology. “It’s very much in line with how they’re going to be accessing information, collecting data and presenting as

News – Northumberland Kindergarten to Grade 8 students in two local schools are learning all about science with the help of a web-based teaching tool that integrates audio, video, text and images. Last fall Brighton and Kent public schools were the latest to join a pilot program initiated by the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board to introduce the K-8 Science Techbook into the classroom. “We were the first school board in Canada to pilot (use of the techbook),” said KPR communications officer Judy Malfara. Developed by Discovery Education, a division of the world’s leading nonfiction media company that includes the Discovery channel, the techbook enables students “to read, write and think like scientists and historians,” and saves teachers time in preparing lessons and providing instruction, says the company. “It’s fantastic ... two thumbs up, absolutely,” said Brighton Public School viceprincipal Alexandra Elassal. She explained the techbook “can be used as a whole class teaching tool,” in conjunction with a smart board.

they move through school,” she said. The cost is $8 per year per child, Malfara said. “It’s very, very affordable.” Samantha Mills, a Grade 3 teacher at Kent, said “the nice thing” for teachers is they can search by curriculum all the resources that are available and “choose what is the most appropriate,” whether it’s a video, a reading, or an activity. “There’s a lot of resources in one place so you can ﬁnd what you need without having to go search through the whole Internet ... That does make it easier.” Children in the younger grades “get to see the content in different modalities and the older kids get to delve into a topic a little bit more that they’re interested in,” Mills said. The techbook is “a great resource” in helping teacher focus on “inquiry-based learning,” Mills added, which is “making a difference in their learning because they’re taking ownership over it a little more instead of us always leading.” Students with questions, she said, can Kent Public School Grade 3 teacher Samantha Mills said she and her students, including, from the left, Kira Saito, Nolan Eakins, look for the answers on their own.

The levy covers almost half, 48 per cent, of the $98.5 million Northumberland will spend this year to maintain programs and services ($81.5 million) and invest in capital projects ($17.2 million) as well as repay debt and draw from reserves.

Major projects include an upgrade to the container line at the material recovery facility, which will “introduce some efficiencies in the operation, maximize our revenues and minimize what goes into landfill,” director of finance and treasurer Jennifer Moore told council. Another is the Ontario Agri-food Venture Centre. Council awarded the contract for its design and improvements within a larger building being built at Colborne’s industrial park to Aveiro Constructors Limited of Toronto. Its bid of $1.17 million was the lowest of four received. In setting the 2014 budget at its January 29 meeting, county council rejected a request for $7,000 in annual funding from Northumberland’s Safe Communities Committee to support its efforts to reduce falls, motor vehicle collisions and incidents of self-harm and interpersonal

violence. Although “a very worthwhile initiative,” Moore told council it’s not the practice of county to give money to non-profit organizations, except to provide secondary school bursaries. That’s because of the “excessive number of requests” the county has received in the past and to prevent “double dipping” by organizations that seek funding from both upper and lower tier governments. Moore noted the OPP and municipal police services are involved in the Safe Communities Committee and can approach the municipalities they serve for funding. She also pointed out that funding requests are being looked at as part of the shared services report the county’s CAO working group is preparing. Detailed information on the county’s expenditures and revenues can be found at its website, www.northumberlandcounty.ca, by searching 2014 budget.

Emmelie Pealow, who began radiation treatments this week after having a tumour removed from her brain last month, dressed up as a princess for Halloween. Photo: Submitted.

Emmelie underwent an MRI later that day, January 8, and the magnetic resonance imaging detected â&#x20AC;&#x153;a plumsized tumor in her brain, right at the top of her spine, behind the cerebellum,â&#x20AC;? Pealow said. The next morning â&#x20AC;&#x153;they were able to remove it entirely and she spent a week in hospitalâ&#x20AC;? before being discharged. She and her husband, Mike, a Campbellford native whose mother, Chris Pealow, still lives in town, were told there were cancer cells in their daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain ďŹ&#x201A;uid. But a subsequent lumbar puncture revealed there were none in her spine, which was â&#x20AC;&#x153;good news,â&#x20AC;? Pealow said. Emmelie, who turns ďŹ ve later this month, began six weeks of radiation treatments February 5 at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto. Pealow will be staying at the Ronald McDonald House to be with her daughter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing remarkably well,â&#x20AC;? she said last Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To look at her you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suspect anything was wrong.â&#x20AC;? Pealow said she was told by a physician that â&#x20AC;&#x153;most peopleâ&#x20AC;? with a tumor the size of her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;come in a lot sickerâ&#x20AC;? but Emmelie was â&#x20AC;&#x153;remarkably healthy,â&#x20AC;? although she had been vomiting often, which her parents attributed to anxiety over attending school for the ďŹ rst time. Although petite, â&#x20AC;&#x153;sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very strong and stubborn,â&#x20AC;? which will help in her recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just wants to be a kid again (and) get up in the morning and do her thing,â&#x20AC;? Pealow said. Emmelieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illness forced her to quit going to the Trent Hills Martial Arts with her mother and older sister, Brenda. The Campbellford club, led by instructor Mark Englehart and his wife Serena, and members Deanna Allen and Colleen Philp, has organized a beneďŹ t dance for February 15 at 8 p.m. The legion has donated use of the hall and DJ Hector Macmillan will be providing the music for free. Friends, family, the martial arts club, and the people of Campbellford â&#x20AC;&#x153;have been wonderfulâ&#x20AC;? and we are truly grateful â&#x20AC;&#x153;for all the help, best wishes, prayer and time that everyone has given to help us out in this difďŹ cult time,â&#x20AC;?

Child Development Centre says county forcing it out of business By John Campbell

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Northumberland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Northumberland Child Development Centre (NCDC) has accused the county of trying â&#x20AC;&#x153;to drive (it) out businessâ&#x20AC;? by not renewing its contract to provide Special Needs Resourcing services. NCDC executive director Clare Paterson levelled the charge before and after county council voted unanimously January 29 to give the contract to Five Counties Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centre on the recommendation of staff. Paterson upset county council members in advance of their meeting with statements she made a day earlier through a news wire service in which she slammed the county and the provincial government for acting in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;secretive, callous (and), quite frankly, outrageousâ&#x20AC;? manner. She further berated the countyÂ for trying to â&#x20AC;&#x153;silence us foreverâ&#x20AC;? with its â&#x20AC;&#x153;sneaky and dishonest move.â&#x20AC;? She also took Premier Kathleen Wynne and her government to task for â&#x20AC;&#x153;allowing local political leaders to pursue a narrow political agenda aimed at killing off NCDC.â&#x20AC;? Paterson warned the loss of funding â&#x20AC;&#x153;will result in the end of NCDCâ&#x20AC;? and with it other services the agency provides â&#x20AC;&#x153;that so many people in our community depend on to surviveâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; families, youth, the unemployed and the disadvantaged. Warden Linda Thompson said the childhood development centre â&#x20AC;&#x153;has provided excellent care for many years,â&#x20AC;? but â&#x20AC;&#x153;the province has dictated changeâ&#x20AC;? in the way programming is to be delivered to children with special needs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to be done through licenced child care and approved recreation programs, rather than home visits, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to ensure (their) inclusion.â&#x20AC;? After the vote, Thompson read from a

prepared statement in response to Patersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attack, saying she found it â&#x20AC;&#x153;reprehensible that there are organizations that would create unnecessary panic among the children and families of our communities in order to further their own ends.â&#x20AC;?Â Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;shameful that anyone in a leadership position would misleadâ&#x20AC;? the public and he defended the county for following guidelines set by the province while â&#x20AC;&#x153;also protecting taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money.â&#x20AC;? Thompson said the centre â&#x20AC;&#x153;was the author of its own demise,â&#x20AC;? in part, by choosing to cut staff who work with the children, rather than those in administration. But Paterson subsequently denied this, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;downsizing administration was the very first step we tookâ&#x20AC;? in eliminating two full-time administrative positions in addition to two front-line jobs. Lesley Patterson, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services, said â&#x20AC;&#x153;there was some reduction in management but not significantâ&#x20AC;? and a consultant recommendation â&#x20AC;&#x153;to move the resources around to more people and families ... wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done.â&#x20AC;? Five Counties, based in Peterborough, was awarded the contract following a review of its three-year service and financial plan by a panel of staff members and external experts that scored its submission higher than NCDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. It looked at nine criteria, including service delivery, enhanced staffing support and human resource strategy. Cost was another factor. Five Countiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proposed budget for 2015, when it will be fully in place as the service provider, is $852,000. Last year the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget for Special Needs Resourcing (SNR) funding was $1.3 million from the province before the government be-

In the next few weeks Five Counties will be sending out letters and making phone calls to the parents of about 400 children; open houses will also be held to explain the changes taking place. Services families currently receive will continue through the transition, county officials said.

Lacking assurance of funding, centre sends out termination notices

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Northumberland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The entire staff at the Northumberland Child Development CentreÂ have been served notice their jobs will be terminated in two months, says its executive director. Eight positions will definitely be eliminated, NCDC executive director Clare Paterson said, because of Northumberland Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to hand over the contract for Special Needs Resourcing services, its largest program, to Five Counties Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centre. But NCDC, which employs 26 people, might have to cease operations altogether, because â&#x20AC;&#x153;we have no assurance of funding past March 31â&#x20AC;? for other services it provides the community, Paterson said.Â Â They include the infant and child development program that is â&#x20AC;&#x153;drastically underfundedâ&#x20AC;?Â by the province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been trying to address the issue with the government,â&#x20AC;? Paterson said. The agency plans to mount an intensive public awareness campaign to draw attention to the change in government policy that has resulted in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bureaucratic funding messâ&#x20AC;? that threatens the continuation of services to hundreds of infants and children at risk. The centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors has also said it will take â&#x20AC;&#x153;any action necessary,â&#x20AC;? even legal action, to assert its interests in its dispute with the county over losing the contract to provide spe-

Five Counties Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centre CEO Diane Pick said her agency will be adding eight to 10 people to its staff, about five of them resource teachers.

Pick said â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is going to be a difficult changeâ&#x20AC;? for parents to go through but Five Counties will do its best to make sure the transition is â&#x20AC;&#x153;smooth and minimizes the disruption for the families.â&#x20AC;? Five Counties already provides a variety of services to 850 families in Northumberland. Michelle Higginson, a parent, told council she disagreed with its decision at the January 29 meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were getting quality service from NCDC,â&#x20AC;? she said. If it had not been for the help it provided her three-year-old son, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where my family would be today,â&#x20AC;? she told council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My son has come so far that I can actually bring him out in public now ... (and) kiss him without (him) screaming and running away.â&#x20AC;? Higginson said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it just seems like county council is doing everything possible to destroy NCDC,â&#x20AC;? a statement that

drew applause from audience members. In an interview afterward, the Cramahe Township resident explained her only child has a sensory processing disorder and impulse control issues, and she and her husband Todd were taught techniques to deal with his condition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our family was in a crisis situation and Hannah (Sun-Reid, their worker) helped us out of that crisis,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like an angel.â&#x20AC;? Lynne Stoltz was another parent who attended the council meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really wanted them to see my kids that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hurting,â&#x20AC;? she said. The mother of three didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t address council members but said in a later interview the help her young children has received from NCDC in her Hastingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;immeasurable.â&#x20AC;? Stoltz also benefitted from programs for parents the centre has provided in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the parents are saying we get great service,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand destroying something that was so good.â&#x20AC;? Requiring Special Needs Resourcing services to be provided in licenced child care rather than in the home doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford it,â&#x20AC;? she said, while some mothers, like herself, stay at home to raise a family so â&#x20AC;&#x153;why would you put your kid in day care?â&#x20AC;?

News - Quinte West - A $60,000 Ford truck won by Roy Wilton of Trenton was just the icing on the cake. Proceeds from the draw will help the firefighter training centre expand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We netted $58,000,â&#x20AC;? says Chuck Naphan, president of Mutual Aid and chair of the facility. Naphan says they plan to build a garage on the site and help fund the Life Safety committee which educates children about fire prevention with tools like Sparky the talking dog, and the Learn not to Burn program. The money will be used as a seed for expansion of the training facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will use the money as needed,â&#x20AC;? he said. As for Wilton, he is tickled pink to have won the fantastic truck from Lange and Fetter Motors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was driving down the 401 when I heard about the draw on the radio,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went in and put a $100 ticket on my credit card. I never dreamed Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d win. I never even knew this place existed.â&#x20AC;? When he got the phone call of his winning ticket from Chuck Naphan he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said to him: your mother wears gumboots too!â&#x20AC;? he said with a laugh. It was also his 40th anniversary. The 80-year-old is retired from the air force after 42 years and moved to Trenton in 1962. He now is a registered golf pro and also makes his own golf equipment. Wilton is originally from Glace Bay, Cape Breton. The draw took place on December 1 at Lange and Fetter Motors. When Wilton went to check out the vehicle he had won he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I sit in this, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never get out. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like honeymoon night.â&#x20AC;? In the end, Wilton decided to take cash instead of the truck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too fancy for me,â&#x20AC;? he said. He still drives his red 2004 Ford 150 which gets him anywhere he wants to go, without all the bells and whistles. Chuck Naphan said the idea for a draw came from the Trenton Kiwanis Club which sponsored the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We gave a donation for the burn pan and were invited to the centre,â&#x20AC;? explains Kiwanis president Gino Leone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a meeting and dinner and learned all about the fire training centre and their plans to build a garage and a new classroom. Rick Lange got on board and we

got the raffle going.â&#x20AC;? Naphan says they sold only half of the 2,500 tickets, about 1,115. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a little ambitious,â&#x20AC;? he admits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had hoped to raise $250,000. Plus we had to pay all the expenses for the lottery like the licence and promotions.â&#x20AC;? Naphan says the $58,000 is a good start and he expects more is on the way when an announcement is made in April about the expansion of the facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are currently negotiating with the Ontario Fire College in Gravenhurst,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something big for the Quinte area.â&#x20AC;? The fire training centre trains firefighters, police, DND, utilities crews and others in its vast complex which includes towers and tunnels, mock disasters and dog rescues for practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work with 19 municipalities, 48 fire halls and 1,000 members in Belleville, CFB Trenton and Quinte West,â&#x20AC;? he says. Naphan adds they get no funding and must rely on fund raisers and donations.

On-duty police officers in Northumberland to be equipped with stun guns

By John Campbell

News – Brighton – The Northumberland OPP detachment is getting 33 Tasers but it will take some time before they’re widely available for use. “Everybody will receive training and by the end of this year all (on-duty) OPP officers will be carrying a conducted energy weapon,” Inspector Doug Borton, detachment commander, told the Brighton Police Services Board January 31. “The OPP is pleased that more officers will be equipped with this valuable intermedi-

ate use of force option as an added tool for use in ensuring the safety and security of the communities the OPP serves,’ OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis said in a letter to the board. “It gives the officers a less-than-lethal option” when dealing with people in certain situations where force is required, Borton said. Offices are already equipped with a handgun, baton and pepper spray. The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services says conducted energy

weapons, or CEWs, have been in use in Ontario since 2002 but until now only frontline supervisors and members of tactical units, hostage rescue teams and containment teams were permitted to carry them. Tasers have been cited as the cause of death in several high profile cases, including that of a Polish man in 2007 who was shocked five times by RCMP officers with a stun gun at Vancouver International Airport. But an expert panel report on the health effects of CEWs released last October by the

Council of Canadian Academies in collaboration with the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences “determined that, while potentially fatal respiratory and cardiac complications are plausible if a number of factors are in place, their occurrence is rare.” Community Safety and Correctional Services Minister Madeleine Meilleur has said the decision to expand

the deployment of CEWs “was made after carefully considering both peer-reviewed medical research and coroners’ inquest findings. Our police officers are trained to use de-escalation first whenever possible, but when that approach does not work, we need to equip our officers with another tool. Expanded conducted energy weapon deployment will help

protect Ontarians and keep our communities safe.” The ministry said CEW use “will be reported in an open and transparent manner, including when a CEW is displayed with the intention to achieve behaviour compliance,” and instruction in use of the weapon has been enhanced to include “training for interactions with people with mental health issues.”

Firefighters are now all required to have self-contained breathing apparatus to keep them from inhaling toxic fumes. “There are all kinds of new compounds now,” he said. “It gets on the gear.

U16 Batawa Bandits achieve results at Beaver Valley Ski Club

Sports - On Saturday, February 1st, the U16 Batawa Bandits, with 130 other racers, participated in their third alpine race of the season. Under constant flurries, the U16 racers took on a challenging slalom course at Beaver Valley Ski Club in Markdale. “The Bandits had to draw on their years of training at Batawa, through steep and icy courses, to demonstrate the depth of skill and talent on this team,” said coach Mark Cholasta. Kurtis Wright, showing great technical skill, led the team with two outstanding runs. His combined time was one minute, 12.77 seconds placing him 9th overall. Eric Cholasta, also achieving two strong, solid runs finished 10th overall just behind Kurtis. With two clean runs, Taylor Russett placed 21st. Other males participating included Andrew Brown and NaBatawa Bandits’ U16 top male and female racers Caroline Burchat, Eric Cholasta, Kurtis Wright and Amy Park celebrate on the podium after their snowy than Lamain but they had unfortunate disqualifications after their first runs.

Campbellford rebounds from thrashing, SO loss to thump Panthers 6-1 By John Campbell

Sports – Campbellford – After getting thumped 9-2 by the Picton Pirates and then suffering a 3-2 shootout loss to the Amherstview Jets, the Campbellford Rebels bounced back with a 6-1 win over the Port Hope Panthers last Sunday in Empire B Junior C Hockey League play.

Ryan Crowley, Campbellford’s leading scorer, led the way with two goals. Andrew Doxtator had a goal and two assists and Jordan Boutilier set up three markers. Jon Samis, Nick Ferguson and Mitchell Merry also scored. Cole Mahoney stopped 34 shots for his ninth win of the season, losing his bid for a

shutout on Brandon Baks’ goal late in the second period with his team leading 3-0. Campbellford went 0-for-9 on the power play, Port Hope 0-for-8. The matinee game was played at the Warkworth arena. The win lifted the Rebels into third place in the Empire B league, with 38 points, one

ahead of the Napanee Raiders and two more than the Panthers, who have played three fewer games. The Jets, who hold down second spot with 39 points, scored twice on the power play January 31 at Campbellford and then won it in the shootout when Zach Masterton was the only player to score of the six who went one-on-one with the two teams’ goaltenders. Boutilier scored in the first on the power play and Joshua Leavey in the second, unassisted for the Rebels. There was no scoring in the third or overtime, when Campbellford outshot the visitors 18-12, after the Jets fired 29 shots in the first two frames, to Campbellford’s 22. Mahoney took the loss. James D’Andrea, playing in just his fourth game, earned the win. The hometown Pirates scored eight times before Boutilier put the Rebels on the scoreboard at 5:05 of the third period January 30.

Curlers sweep up a storm in Norwood By Bill Freeman

Sports - Norwood – Even with stormy weather outside 12 teams took part in the annual J.J. Stewart Motors “Skins” bonspiel on January 25 at the Norwood Curling Club. The rinks competed in the two-draw, two-game event with Tyler Jones’ rink of Marteen Lortie, vice, Adam Kubovic, second and Laura Brown lead, taking first draw honours. Winning the second draw was Denton Curry’s rink of Ian Laver, vice, Rob Black, second and Dan Pichie, lead. Tournament organizer Brian Radnor lauded J.J. Stewart Motors for their continued support of the bonspiel. On another snowy day the club hosted the George Cardwell Memorial Bonspiel which features junior curlers teamed with adults. Winning the Cardwell Cup was the Wilson team of skip Sarah Wilson and teammates Raeburn Scott, Avery Page and Cindy Page. Placing second was Team Smockum led by Derek Smockum and teammates Jan Hay, Christine Pichie and Dan Pichie.

Third place went to the Hubert family of Owen, Patrick, Silas and Christine. There will be an in-club “battle of the sexes” spiel on February 9. Last year’s bonspiel saw the men edge out the women in a fun-filled day of curling. The women are determined to avenge last year’s narrow defeat and will have their game faces on as they take to the ice. The Community Fun Spiel takes place February 22 with proceeds going to the Norwood Lions Splashpad project. There will be two draws of two, six-end games. Organizers are hoping that families, businesses, co-workers, clubs and organizations will participate in the enjoyable event. All ages are welcome and curling experience is not necessary. For more information call Wendy at 705-6962503. On a non-curling note, the club has been hosting progressive euchre games on the third Sunday of the month for the past six months. The next euchre is planned for February 16 with prizes given out for the high scores. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Red-hot Midget A’s jump out strong against Lightning

Bantam Hornets in tight playoff battle By Bill Freeman

Sports - Norwood – The Norwood Bantam A Hornets are in a tough playoff battle with the Mariposa Lightning, splitting their opening two OMHA playoff games. The big Lightning squad needed overtime to edge the Hornets 3 - 2 in game one at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre with Norwood bouncing back strongly in a 2 - 0 road win. In the opener at home, Mariposa opened the scoring on a goal by Cole Holliday eight minutes into the game but Norwood replied at the 5:19 mark with Dawson Turcotte, from Nathan Dunn, evening the score. Holliday scored the lone goal in the second period to give the visitors a 2 1 lead. Mitchell Rogers, from Turcotte and Andrew Hembruff, knotted the score at 2 - 2 at the 11:06 mark of the third frame. Tough defense and sharp goaltending at both ends kept the puck out of the net and forced extra time with the Lightning’s Carter Hamilton striking at the 6:07 mark to end the game. There was no scoring through the first two periods of game two in Little Britain. Norwood took the lead at the 7:59 mark of the third on a goal by Turcotte with Hayden Baptie assisting. Baptie added an insurance marker on a powerplay with 34 seconds left to play. Eric Sicker picked up the assist. “It was a good bounce back game (and we) stayed the course for 45 minutes,” Hornets coach Greg Hartwick said. Hartwick says the big Lightning squad has been very stingy in allowing scoring opportunities. Norwood will try to take the lead in the best-of-five series on home ice Wednesday night.

gave them the Eastern Ontario Hockey League title. During regular season action against the Hawks Norwood had dropped one game and tied another and wanted to reverse that history and did so from the outset with a strong 5 - 2 opening win. Game two in Tweed was expected to be a tough, physical affair on a smaller ice surface, but the Hornets were ready and matched hits but also stepped up their finesse play for 4 - 2 win. Facing elimination, the Hawks were at their

best in game three in Norwood with the Hornets starting the game in sluggish fashion before righting things for a 3 - 1 win and a 3 - 0 series triumph. The Hornets are in fine form early in 2014 starting the new year with the Port Carling Minor Hockey New Year’s Classic Tournament title. The 12-team tourney was a good test for the team and a chance to enjoy some family time in the Muskokas. Norwood raced through the tourney without a loss earning the “A” title over

Embro and notched 19 goals, allowed just two and added a pair of shutouts in the four-game championship run The Midget A’s are solid from front to back starting with veteran goalie Travis Stark and rookie stopper Michael Elliott. The defence has been stingy all season long led by veterans Travis Bennett, team co-captain, Mitch Barr and Daniel Bennett with sophomore Braden Thompson easing back into the lineup after an extended injury. Rookie blue liners Dylan Finlay and Mitchell Bell

have been bright additions to the team. The explosive offence is led by thirdyear players Ethan McDougall, a co-captain, and Christian Lachapelle. Sophomore snipers include Karn Dart, Jacob Bennett, Alexander Buchanan, Alex Barrett, Rodney Fleming and Logan Booth with rookies Hayden Leeper and Jeremy Fleury looking like veterans. Coach Larry Wrightly says the team has “bonded together to form a very talented, hard-working and determined hockey club which is exciting to watch.

Entertainment – Marmora - SnoFest celebrated 36 years on the weekend of January 31 to February 2 when crowds of mushers and observers arrived at the fairgrounds and other venues around town for a wintry weekend ﬁlled with fun. It truly was a snow event this year with the trails boasting a hefty covering of the white stuff and plenty of it in evidence at the fairgrounds as well. It all began at the Community Centre on Friday evening with the opening ceremonies during which MP Daryl Kramp expressed thanks to those who make the annual event possible, pointing to the younger generation stepping in to carry on with Jen Bennett as the new Chair. Kramp, in speaking to the mushers,

commented, “You have come to a warm, warm, friendly place. The weather may be a little fresh and chilly in some cases, but the hearts of the people here are absolutely magniﬁcent. Have yourself a wonderful time. Take advantage of every activity - there is something for everyone.” Bennett welcomed all, going on to thank Celebrate Ontario, Ontario Trillium Foundation and Community Futures for grants which she said had “brought it up a notch this year.” Community support and sponsors were also mentioned, with Bennett pointing to a banner at the back of the room, which listed them all. Marmora & Lake Reeve Terry Clemens, introduced by emcee Bruce Cook as “our good old Reeve”, extended thanks

to all volunteers and board members. The evening went ahead with the well-attended Marmora’s Got Talent, which attracted two entries in the 13 and under category and nine in the over 13 classiﬁcation. Judges Paul Speight, Luke Mercer and Hynze Bryans had their jobs cut out for them in determining the winners, who provided entertainment ranging from classical and country music to humour and rap. Speight commented on the outstanding talent, saying the judges had a tough job making a decision, as all contestants were “within fractions of one another.” First place in the 13 and under category went to Deanna Collier, with Kayla Carman in second. Matthew Rivera, Anne Marie McGregor and the DeJong family of eight violinists were

ﬁrst, second and third in the older division. The races began the following day with teams from across Ontario and one from each of Quebec and New York State participating in a total of eight dog-related events, which ranged over the course of the snowy weekend from sprints and skijoring to a 20-mile run to Malone and back. As always there were many other activities and events for all to enjoy both at the fairgrounds and around town, among them, an ice water rescue demonstration by members of the local ﬁre department, the Back of Cordova curling bonspiel, the annual Artistic Expressions display and sale, and Who’s Growing Locally with its wide array of goods, both edible

and otherwise, all produced nearby. There was entertainment for the children with Saturday’s Kidz Zone, which provided both indoor and outdoor fun ranging from mime, face painting and storytelling, to music, hot chocolate and time spent sliding down a man-made hill. Sunday featured the impressive talents of Circus Jonathan Seglins, of Toronto, who provided two 20-minute interactive and very entertaining outdoor shows on Sunday, which had appeal not only for the children who sat in colourful chairs to enjoy the juggling, balancing and other feats, but also for the parents who stood nearby watching the show. Between performances, Circus John donned a pair of very tall stilts, Please see “Let” on page B2

Saturday night featured a silent auction at the Community Centre along with the annual banquet catered by members of the Marmora Crowe Valley Lions Club, followed by entertainment provided by the Toronto based band, Running Red Lights. The group played again the next day following the awards ceremony when many gathered to receive

trophies, ribbons and congratulations from Race Marshall Shane Cox, who managed to participate in two races himself, winning the 20-mile event. Bennett commented prior to the presentations, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to thank everyone who came out this weekend. We braved this great Canadian weather and saw lots of gorgeous dogs ... I hope we can continue to improve this festival for years to come.â&#x20AC;? She also mentioned Running Red Lights, saying the group had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;a huge hit.â&#x20AC;?

Astronomer’s presentation to seniors out of this world

Helen Simpson was among the residents of Island Park Retirement Community, in Campbellford, who was eager to learn about the night sky, galaxies and more from John Cameron, of the Peterborough Astronomical Association. Cameron brought along several telescopes as well as some videos for residents to view. Photo: Sue Dickens

News – Campbellford – A special guest whose presentation was out of this world kept his audience thanking their lucky stars for his expertise. Mixing some mythology with facts discovered through astronomy, John Cameron of the Peterborough Astronomical Association spoke to seniors at Island Park Retirement Community about what might be out there beyond our world we know here on earth. “Space is not empty it is very full,” he told the residents during his talk which included a couple of videos, one showing an eclipse of the sun. The videos were by Canadian amateur astronomer Andrea Gaddas, which gave the residents an opportunity for armchair travel to the night sky and galaxies beyond. “I’ve always been interested with what’s outside our own little earth, what’s out there,” said Bill McMechan, who with his wife Rosemary has taken up residence at Island Park short-term. “I’ve always wanted to somehow be able to understand distances . . . like a light year,” he added, after the presenta-

tion. Another resident Helen Simpson posed a question to Cameron. “When I look out my window, overlooking the river, not the canal side, I’ll see the moon and in the left hand corner there is always a very bright light . . . what is that light?” “It could be a satellite, or a star, or even a reflection in the atmosphere,” said Cameron, who after learning Simpson sees it every night provided a more definitive answer. “It’s probably a planet and at this time of year it’s probably Jupiter,” he replied. “I learned about a lot of things that are happening in the sky that we don’t take notice of,” said Simpson later, an opinion echoed by others who attended the event. The room where the presentation was held was filled with large photographs of stars and comets and galaxies, adding to the material provided by Cameron. “Canada, France and Hawaii (C-F-H) went together on a very large telescope that looks out into the night sky and these are some of the images that have

Dinosaurs Roar gets township boost sponsoring supporters. Council agreed to support the popular exhibition with a $500 bronze advertisement in the Reptile News, a supplement the zoo has published every summer that reaches

over 300,000 readers. “It’s a pretty big thing,” AsphodelNorwood Mayor Doug Pearcy said of the exhibition which is returning for a third summer in a row at the award-winning zoo on Highway 7 in the township. “It brings money into the township [and] it’s been growing all the time,” Deputy-mayor Joe Crowley added. “I think we should continue what we’ve done in the past.” “There are a lot of non-AsphodelNorwood people who manage to get that far into Asphodel-Norwood,” Councillor Mary Hay said. “It’s a good place to put the ‘come live with us’ flavour of Asphodel-Norwood and get it out there,” Hay said. Popular and successful, the exhibition of life-like animatronic dinosaurs has been a hit with all ages. The display, which helps raise funds for an enclosure to house three rare saltThe Township of Asphodel-Norwood will once again be a sponsor of the Di- water crocodiles the zoo has been given, nosaurs Roar exhibition that will take place at the Indian River Reptile Zoo is set up along the 44-acre zoo’s hillside this summer.

In the wild the “saltys” can grow to 20 feet in length; at the zoo they are expected to reach more than 16 feet. There were 13 dinosaurs on display last summer with Tyron, the 5,000-pound, 40-foot-long and 19-foottall roaring and moving T-Rex earning more rave reviews. There will be 13 dinosaurs at the zoo, nearly doubling last year’s exhibition. “When we get people here we teach them about reptiles; that’s the idea behind the dinosaurs, to help save living reptiles today,” says Reptile Zoo curator Bry Loyst. The Indian River Reptile Zoo is Canada’s only registered not-for-profit accredited reptile facility and Loyst relishes the opportunity to talk to the general public about reptiles and reptile conservation. One of the unique additions to last year’s exhibition was the three-toed, two-legged Giganotosaurus. Dinosaurs Roar 2014 will run from May 31 until September 7.

website suggests the following be kept in mind while snowmobiling: Wind Chill: Wind chill occurs when the temperature drops below the actual thermometer reading due to wind and/ or the forward momentum of a fast moving sled. Wind chill exposes you to severe cold, which in turn can cause hypothermia. Wind-proof outer garments, extra layers and a balaclava will offer some protection, but keep your face shield down to prevent wind burn and to protect your skin and eyes. Ride Safe: Please follow the nationally approved snowmobile hand signals to ensure safety on the trails for everyone. Practice Zero Alcohol: Alcohol is involved in over 70% of snowmobiling fatalities. Even small amounts of alcohol can impair your perception, slow your reaction time and limit your ability to control your sled at that critical moment when your life is in the balance. Operating your sled under the influence of alcohol is punishable under the Criminal Code of Canada. If convicted of driving a snowmobile while impaired,

you will lose all driving privileges (car, truck, motorcycle, off-road vehicles and snowmobile). Therefore if you drink and ride both your driver’s license and insurability are at risk. Night Riding: Nine out of ten fatalities, occur after dark. Slow down, don’t overdrive your headlights. Becoming disoriented or lost is much more likely at night. Wear outer clothing with reflective trim on the arms, back and helmet. Never ride alone at night. Always dress in your full snowmobiling outfit even if your intended destination is just next door. Please do your part and make safety part of your preparation and planning for any day on the trails.

Snowmobilers rescued from Rice Lake Island

News – Rice Lake – On Sunday, Feb. 2 at 7:14 p.m. Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received a call for assistance from an island on Rice Lake where three people reported running out of gas while snowmobiling. OPP and Hamilton Township Fire Department (HFD) received the call for assistance from three males who reported that they had run out of gas on Rice Lake and had walked to Spook Island between Gores Landing and Harwood. They were dressed appropriately for the weather however they were seeking assistance getting back to shore. Officers activated emergency lights and sirens from Gores Landing and all three made it safely to shore by walking across the ice and will be recovering their sleds

during daylight hours. No one was injured. The following safety tips are strongly recommended by OPP: always wear a helmet; only travel on trails which are groomed and posted as open; when travelling on frozen water surfaces make sure that the ice is strong enough to support you and your snowmobile; watch out for open water around docks and shorelines that may be caused by operating bubblers; be cognizant that lower water levels have caused normally submerged hazards such as rocks to now be exposed; be aware that blowing and drifting snow may make it difficult to see docks; travel only at posted speed limits – don’t speed and only operate snowmobiles that you are familiar with. The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC)

been gathered,” he said. The C-F-H observatory hosts a world-class, 3.6 meter optical/infrared telescope and is located atop the summit of Mauna Kea, a 4,200-meter, dormant volcano on the island of Hawaii. “They take several hundred frames and put them into a computer and pick the best ones,” he explained. Cameron also told the residents about an area south of Kaladar on Hwy. 41 called the Lennox and Addington dark sky area, “the most southerly dark sky site in Ontario,” explaining that light pollution from cities and towns is a big

problem for astronomers. Cameron brought several telescopes and some books as well as a Canadian magazine called Nightwatch with him too. “I’ve always been fascinated by the night sky, ever since I was a kid,” he told the Trent Hills Independent. “Now people are talking about exoplanets around stars out in space. The theory is if we have stars and planets there must be other places like earth out there,” he concluded, giving residents plenty to think about including the age-old question - is there life out there?

Lying to a conservation officer proves costly News - A Northumberland County resident has been fined $1,500 for illegally hunting a cow moose. Andrew Bull pleaded guilty to harvesting a cow moose when he was licensed to harvest only a calf moose. Court heard that on October 25, 2013, a conservation officer contacted Bull at a hunt camp during the moose hunting season in the Municipality of Marmora and Lake in Hastings County. Bull stated he had shot and killed a calf moose on October 22, 2013. The officer later inspected the moose’s head and determined it was that of a cow moose, not a calf. The moose meat was seized and donated to charity. Justice of the Peace Deanne Chapelle heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Belleville, on January 21, 2014. In order to hunt a bull or cow moose, a hunter must have an adult moose validation tag in addition to a moose hunting licence. For further information on hunting regulations, please consult the Fall 2013-2014 Hunting Regulations Summary, available at ontario.ca/hunting. To report a natural resources violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free any time or contact your local ministry office during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

My Theatre tickles the funny-bone again! By Kate Everson

Entertainment - Trenton Love, Sex and the CIA is My Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest performance that is sure to tickle your funny-bone. Jon Trachtman (played by Devon Bird) and Leslie Arthur (Jim West) are out-of-work musicians who room together in New York City. To save money, Jon has been filing tax returns listing the pair as a married couple (Leslie is a man). The day of reckoning comes when the Internal Revenue Service (Floyd played by Steve Edwards) informs the couple theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be investigated. Leslie masquerades as a housewife, aided by Jonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiancĂŠe, Kate (Brittney Grier). Complicating matters further Leslie and Kate are having an affair behind Jonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back. Jonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother Vivian (director Bev Roy) drops in unexpectedly to meet her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiancĂŠe, and Leslieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-girlfriend Connie

(Simone Portelli) shows up demanding to know why Leslie has changed and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see her anymore. Meanwhile the landlord Jensen (Robert Davidson) is getting mighty suspicious about what is actually going on in the apartment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is like a cross between I Love Lucy and Some Like it Hot!â&#x20AC;? says director Bev Roy. Roy is pleased to be back in Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s My Theatre group for another season, having accepted the position of Artistic Director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been rehearsing for two months,â&#x20AC;? Roy says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a difficult time keeping a straight face.â&#x20AC;? She says being a director and one of the actors takes its toll. She memorizes her lines while listening to a CD while driving or doing the dishes at home. If anyone forgets their lines on stage there is no prompter.

The actors pose for the play: Jim West, Simone Portelli, Robert Davidson, Steve Edwards, Bev Roy, Brittney Grier and Devon Bird. Photo: Kate Everson

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone stumbles on their lines, the other actors will pick it up for them,â&#x20AC;? she says. The show runs from February 27 and 28 through March 1, 2 (matinee at 2

p.m.), 7, 8, 9 (matinee), 14 and 15 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 available online at the web site <mytheatrequinte. ca> or call 613-392-7635. Opening night specials are available.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Northumberland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were engaged in keeping Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roadways safe last weekend by arresting two people at RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) spot checks in Northumberland County.

a.m. OPP officers were conducting RIDE checks on Toronto Road between Norton Lane and Park Street west in Colborne when a 2008 Dodge Calibre approached the officers. The female driver was given a roadside screening device and taken for further breath tests. Susan Marie McCoy, 55 from Colborne, is charged with driving with

more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in the blood. On Friday, January 31 at 10:50 p.m. OPP had set up on County Road 9 and County Road 10 in the Municipality of Port Hope when they observed at blue 2008 Ford Ranger travelling north on County Road 10 that had stopped a short distance away from the spot check. The officer who approached the vehicle found the lone male driver to be confused and showing signs of alcohol consumption. The officer conducted an investigation and eventually arrested the male for impaired driving and took him for breath tests. J o s h u a Benjamin Blakely, 28 from Gores Landing is charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle and driving with more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in the blood. Both accused have been released on a promise to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg on Wednesday, February 19 at 9:30 a.m. Each of the accused had their driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence suspended for 90 days and their vehicles impounded for seven. Impaired driving remains the leading cause of criminal death in Canada. R0012514403

Hospitalizations

Canadian acute care hospitals handled almost 2.8 million hospitalizations in 2009-2010 and approximately 14% less than in 1995. Although this number has decreased by 14% since 1995â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1996, it has remained stable since 2001â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2002. (Canadian Institutes for Health Information [CIHI], 2011). The leading cause of hospitalization in Canada continues to be heart disease and stroke, accounting for 16.9 % of total hospitalizations (19.8% of all hospitalizations for men and 14.0% for women) (PHAC, 2009).

Heart attack

There are an estimated 70,000 heart attacks each year in Canada. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one heart attack every 7 minutes. Almost 16,000 Canadians die each year as the result of a heart attack. Most of these deaths occur out of hospital (Statistics Canada, 2012c). The number of heart attack-related hospitalizations has increased steadily over the past decade (1994-95 to 2003-04) (CIHI, 2005).

Up to 40,000 cardiac arrests occur each year in Canada. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one cardiac arrest every 12 minutes. Without rapid and appropriate treatment, most of these cardiac arrests will result in death. Thousands of lives could be saved through public access to automated external defibrillators. As many as 85% of all cardiac arrests occur in homes and public places (Vaillancourt & Stiell, 2004). After more than 12 minutes of ventricular fibrillation, the survival rate from cardiac arrest is less than 5% (Hazinski et al, 2004). For every 1 minute delay in defibrillation, the survival rate of a cardiac arrest victim decreases by 7% to 10% (Larsen et al, 1993). Combined with CPR, the use of an AED may increase the likelihood of survival by 75% or more (Weisfeldt et al, 2010).

DEATH NOTICE

Elizabeth Lenore "Betty" Sharp (Née Weaver) September 12, 1919 - January 16, 2014 I lived a long, interesting and healthy life, but on January 16, just before midnight, it became my turn to sail into the unknown. I fought hard, but my body simply could not recover after my recent hip surgery. I was the last surviving member of my immediate family -- brothers Gerald, Howard and Bill, and sisters Aura and Marion. We grew up in Trenton, Ontario and were a close and lively family. I remember how our family coped during the Depression, and the impact that these hard times had on our characters. But mostly, I remember the good times -- each of us playing the piano, and learning to voice our own opinions and to think about challenging subjects. We subscribed to several duplicate morning newspapers so that we would all have a chance to read of the events and issues of the day. My family loved our evening discussions about world and local affairs. As a sixteen year old, during a polio scare, my older brothers and I took care of Bill and Marion on an isolated but beautiful plot of land on Lake Ontario. That adventurous summer in a tent was the beginning of a longstanding tradition of family uniting at the lake. I attended Queen's University in Kingston, and during that time met my husband, Frederick Sharp. I shared my life with him and our five children, John, Brenda, Richard, Barbara and Elizabeth, as well as our precious dogs, Lucky, Rosie and Maxie. Though I was an extremely busy wife and mother I was determined to complete my degree as I had left Queen's to marry Freddie. I was pleased and proud when Freddie and all the children attended my graduation after passing that final French course! On the home front, I was the activity coordinator of the music, swimming, baseball, golf, skiing and tennis lessons for my five children. I wanted each of my children to grow up able to think independently and to be responsible for themselves. Being a parent during the tumultuous sixties and seventies was challenging but we were always able to come back together after both the good times and the bad. We moved frequently over the years, and lived in Trenton, Calgary, Ottawa (at different times), London Ontario, Winnipeg, England, and the states of Washington, Maine and Colorado. For twenty five years, I hosted and attended countless luncheons, dinner parties and official functions. Later, after Freddie retired from the Armed Forces, we moved permanently to our cottage on Lake Ontario near Brighton. We had always kept our family connections to my brothers and sisters and their children by returning regularly to our cottage. I loved being Aunt Betty to all my nieces and nephews. My children lived in different cities and countries but Freddie and I did our best to ensure their families could reconnect at the lake. And they did, year after year. The lake became the heart of my family's existence. I was so happy whenever I sailed my little sunfish on sunny, windy afternoons, and when I slipped into the water for my daily swims along the shore. In the evenings, my family carried on the tradition of discussing the issues of the day or trying to come up with answers to unanswerable questions about our universe. Many parties full of music, dance and laughter highlighted the summers, including family weddings, birthdays and anniversaries. After Freddie died in 1992, I learned how to live on my own. I kept up our tradition of going to North Palm Beach in the winter, and continued to enjoy my friends there. The rest of the year I lived at the lake, and my family and friends would join me there for many good times. I always kept a good book at my side, read the newspaper every morning and went for long walks. Almost every day I played my organ and gazed out over the lake to ponder the big questions and the small. I also traveled with my sister and others to places such as Italy, France, England, Cuba and Alaska. Freddie and I were able to travel all over the world before he died, for business and pleasure, and I did not want to give that up. In 2010 I was crushed and overwhelmed by the death of my dear daughter Barbara. Nothing prepared me for her death and I never got over it. Yet looking back over nearly 100 years I am very grateful for an interesting, rewarding and fun time on earth. But when the end approached, I was ready to sail on. I will be buried beside Freddie and Barbara at Mount Evergreen Cemetery, outside Trenton, Ontario. My children and grandchildren (Sariya, Alexander, Alexa, Michael, Adam, Casey and Justin) will have a celebration of my life at the lake in July 2014. The details will be announced on the Weaver Family Funeral Home's website www.weaverfuneralhomes.com. In lieu of flowers, donations in my memory can be made at this site to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Canadian Wildlife Federation or directly to the charity of your choice. CL430290
