Toboggan hill a step in the right direction By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - It is a toboggan hill of dreams. Havelock-Belmont-Methuen has created an ideal, entirely safe and easily accessible jewel of a hill in a perfect bowl-shaped part of the Mathison Conservation property just north of the village not far from one of the property entrances at the end of Union Street. Public works staff, with help from Norwood District High School forestry students, did

all of the preparation work in the fall and early winter in what turned out to be a comparatively easy project on a section of property many had already used for tobogganing because of its natural bowl-like qualities. There are no objects to run into above or underground so sled rides down the hill are perfect, especially with the powder snow that currently blankets the hill. The 250-acre property was bequeathed to HBM in 2001

by John and Annie Mathison for educational and recreational purposes and an ad hoc committee has been working on a master plan for the property. The creation of a toboggan hill is a step in the right direction, says committee chair Jim Martin. “It’s a start. Sometimes when you get something like this going it gives everybody more drive to get onto the next project. It’s nice to see us get something going. It looks so different with the snow, it’s perfect,” Martin, Grade 8 students from Havelock Belmont Public School join Havelock-Belmont-Methuen councillors and staff for hot chocolate during the official kick off the newly created toboggan hill on the Mathison conservation property just north of the village.

Precious is a little cutie pie with medium length very silky hair. Precious likes to run around and play like a all kittens do, then she will settle and enjoy a long snooze.

Our winter hours are Thursday 9:00-4:00, Friday and Saturday 9:00-5:00.

who’s also HBM deputy-mayor, said while watching Grade 8 students from Havelock-Belmont Public School enjoying themselves on the hill. It was the first official use of the hill and the township provided hot chocolate for the students who all wore helmets, either from home or the community centre. The hill is easily reached by trail from the school. Mayor Ron Gerow also called it a start and stressed that they’re looking for public input to assist the master plan process. “As a community we’re all

going to work together to get the most out of the property,” he said. Mayor Gerow also thanked committee member Randy Sayles who donated five toboggans to the municipality. “It’s a great idea,” said Grade 8 teacher Brenda Leeming. “It’s perfect for the school. The Grade Eights can come over with their reading buddies and partner up with the little kids. It’s wonderful to have it in the community. Havelock’s lucky to have a council that works this hard for them.” Leeming also praised the Ma-

thisons’ “vision and foresight” in donating the property. “This is something to get kids outside and into physical activity. We are Canadians, winter is part of our culture and heritage,” she added. “It’s great to be involved with a community initiative,” said HBPS principal and committee member Daryl Whitney. “This is great for us to help let the community know we have this for families to come and use anytime and it’s safe. I don’t see any safety issues here. It’s perfect.”

New fair board president puts priority on attracting volunteers By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - The new president of the Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural Society has issued a challenge to each member to bring at least one person to the organization who is interested in becoming a volunteer. “We have a lot of dedicated volunteers but we need to be looking out for new people,� said John Finlay, who was elected to the new position along with other executive members at the recent annual general meeting. His is a two-year term and he will be working alongside Brian Redden, past president;

Dr. Paul Giuliani D.D.S.

Jennifer Jeffs, first vice president; Karen Pearce secretary/ treasurer; and Vivian Smallwood, the new Homecraft president. Past Homecraft Division president is Debbie Petherick, first vice president of the Homecraft Division is Jennifer Petherick and secretary/ treasurer is Angela Runciman. “You lose one or two people every year either to age or they’ve just done it long enough,� said Finlay candidly. “So we need to do some succession planning.� “We have a lot of fundraising events and need help at those and during the fair

For example the fair board hosts a “Country 105� video dance with a big screen and this year it will take place on May 16. “It takes a tremendous number of people to organize this.� As well, the fair board holds its annual chicken barbecue, a popular event in the community and a major fundraiser. This year it will take place on Sunday, May 31, from 4 until 7 p.m. “The Homecraft Division is a major part of our fair and we have half a dozen committees involved in that,� said Finlay, who has made it his priority to encourage people to consider becoming a volunteer in any of these areas.

Impaired charge laid News - Alderville - A 47-year-old Hamilton Township man was charged with impaired driving after being stopped on County Road 45 near County Road 18. Northumberland OPP say an officer noticed a northbound Toyota Tundra swerving on County Road 45 around 1:30 a.m. on February 7. When the officer stopped the driver he noted that the driver displayed signs of being impaired by alcohol and arrested him. The driver was taken to the Cobourg OPP detachment where further tests were conducted. As a result of the tests Robert Raymond Lee, of Hamilton Township, was charged with impaired care and control and over 80 mgs. He was released and is scheduled to appear in court February 25. “Even low concentrations of alcohol can impair one’s ability to drive, therefore no amount of alcohol consumption is considered a safe amount,� says Acting Detachment Commander Phil Pike.

Council wants legal opinion on solar contract By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - Township council wants a legal opinion on whether the municipality has fully committed to rooftop solar installations at the community centre and public works building. A lengthy November 26, 2013, motion (passed by a recorded vote of 3 - 2) states that the township “supports the construction and operation of the project� proposed by Peterborough Solar Projects Corporation, a division of Peterborough Utilities Incorporated. There seems to be some confusion about what council of day supported and the new council wants clarification on what the motion represents. Under Feedin Tariff (FIT) 3.0 rules proponents that received a formal resolution of support for projects received “priority points� in their applications to the Ontario Power Authority (OPA).

Those resolutions generally supported the application process but didn’t commit municipalities to installations, a step that would require further negotiations. That’s what Councillor Roy Millett maintains. Councillor Millett moved the 2013 motion and voted to support it along with Mary Hay and former Mayor Doug Pearcy. “I never approved anything other than going for the [FIT 3.0] contract, never the installation,� Millett emphasized. The utility company’s initial FIT 3.0 application was rejected but their subsequent application under the extended FIT 3.0 program was approved for a contract. The proposal entails installing 1,288 solar panels mounted on sections of the community centre roof and 518 on the public works building. The company also received approval

for a 2,400-panel ground mount project on municipal lands located on the Centre Line. “There were so many questions at the time,� Millett said of the rooftop proposals, citing fire suppression, the structure of the buildings and the life of the building after the panels had been installed. “The only one answered to me was that the structure was capable of bearing the weight and that they would pay for fire training,� he said. “I voted yes for them to go ahead and ask for approval. I want to see a motion authorizing anybody to sign a contract on our behalf because it has to be a motion of council.� Councillor Debbie Lynch, who attended meetings as a ratepayer at the time, doesn’t remember anything that gave permission to install the panels; only the resolution to submit an application. The November 26 minutes state

“should approval of the rooftop projects be received the township solicitor will review the contract prior to signing.� CAO Joe van Koeverden says the municipality has engineering reports on the two structures that were reviewed and presented to the previous council. The reports from TaskForce and Stantec indicate that both buildings are capable of bearing the panels, van Koeverden said. In February, 2014, there was a solar rooftop “update� addressing some of council’s outstanding questions including those on insurance liability, repair and maintenance etc. which Peterborough Utilities agreed to bear. “The report outlined all those things PUI would cover including repairs and maintenance etc.,� van Koeverden said. Municipal revenues, he added, will be based on a percentage of total rev-

enue generated by the projects: 9.6 per cent for the community centre and 9.4 per cent for the public works building. Projected revenues for the roof top projects are $433,280 over 20 years. The Centre Line ground mount project will generate an estimated $240,000 over 20 years. A 2013 bylaw approved the signing of the contracts and execution of the agreements, van Koeverden said. “Can we get a legal opinion on that?� Mayor Terry Low asked. Mayor Low wants a legal answer on whether the contract is “solid� and an opinion on the bylaw that approved the contract. “I’m not trying to put anybody [on the spot],� Low added. Council passed a motion saying that nothing be done on the project until they get a legal opinion.

Municipal grants will support turning former restaurant into pub employment and provide a new dining/ entertainment option for both residents and visitors,â€? she said. The Downtown CIP, introduced in 2007, covers half the cost of eligible façade improvements to a maximum of $5,000 per side as well as half the cost of accessibility improvements, to a maximum of $3,000 per improvement. The municipality is also providing $2,000 in rebates for design studies and building fees. At the suggestion of Councillor Bill Thompson, money for the project will

sion and rehabilitation grant, “is really important to have,� because it supports the creation of affordable housing that is “in decent shape� in the downtown core. “That’s what keeps a downtown alive when you actually have people living there,� she said. Please see “Pub� on page 6

News - Trent Hills - The municipality will contribute $23,000 to renovations at the former La Gondola restaurant in Hastings, which is being turned into a new pub and eatery. The Downtown Community Improvement Plan (CIP) grants approved by council last week will be used to improve the look of the building on three sides and to make it more accessible. The project will cost $85,273 in total and include “new signage and lighting, a stone knee wall, new windows and doors, as well as metal architectural panels on all sides of the building� at 13 Bridge Street North, community development officer Lynn Phillips said in a report. “The accessibility improvements include an accessible front door and two accessible washrooms.� Phillips noted the grants applicant, Metcalf and McGill Inc., has operated Banjo’s Grill, at the opposite end of the Hastings bridge from the new restaurant, for many years and will continue to keep it open after launching McGillicafey’s Pub and Eatery.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Hydro One’s current make work project

Dear Editor, I read your column re: Ontario Hydro in the Central Hastings News Thursday, January 29, 2015. I can empathize with you since I recently contacted Hydro One on behalf of my sister who resides in a rural setting just outside of Stirling, Ontario. In her case she is dealing with a farmhouse that was renovated something in the range of 25 years ago. The

work was done to meet the building standards of the time and has since had ongoing work done to keep things up-to-date. The house is heated with a combination of a forced air propane furnace, a wood-burning stove and a few baseboard electric heaters. In spite of her best efforts to control her rising hydro costs, she received one of those nasty letters stating that

she was extravagant in her use of hydro. She was rated at ninety-third out of 100. Like you she was compared with “approx. 100 occupied nearby homes that are similar in size as hers.” Those other 99 could have been of newer construction and heated with natural gas as far they knew. You can appreciate the fact that there aren’t 100 other homes etc.,

“Where is my Canada?” Dear Editor, I almost gave up voicing my opinion until I read the letters from J.W. Mouck and Rick Fairman which just ticked me off all over again with politics. I have lived my life as a proud Canadian. I was born into a great democracy. I first heard the word democracy as a young child in school. I was taught I was free to vote for someone to do my will in government. If enough people agreed with me, that was how our choice would vote. I woke up one day to find that someone has been kicked out of their caucus because they voted their constituents’

will instead of the party line. I accept that nothing would be accomplished without political parties, but now the party has become omnipotent. If the other party proposes an idea, I must oppose it or suffer the consequences. I am not allowed to speak my thoughts or my constituents’ wishes in public. It has become impossible to find the truth in politics. Harper has not invented anything new. He’s just perfected the art of spouting the party’s talking points; ignoring experts and scientists if they don’t agree with him; the art of not answering questions with facts, if at all; hiding details even if he does have

6 Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, February 12, 2015

them worked out; declaring anyone who does not agree with him, including the opposition, the UN and even people he has appointed to do a job, as being wrong and/or their reports as useless or inaccurate; mouths of usually smart people trained to only repeat the party’s talking points over and over again. The Conservative party (under any name) has gone from a very well-respected party to a bunch of puppets. Budgeting with mega bills so that the opposition must vote against items they want and we need in order to show displeasure of items they oppose buried in the bill. Debate? I wonder if anyone actually reads or understands the whole bill. Why read it when they must vote the party line? Other nations need our help and I accept photo ops, but what about hungry children in Canada? How about human rights in Canada? How about leaving our great-grandchildren clean air and water? How about looking after the beautiful country we live in? I have members of my family looking to join our armed forces. Why am I as concerned for them when they come home as if they are sent to a conflict zone? Bonuses at Veterans Affairs? I have received bonuses during my working life but someone higher than I was always making sure my people and I performed the jobs we were paid for. Our Parliament is the employer of the recipients of these bonuses, but who watches. Maybe their job was just to dump people. I have always believed in paying down the debt, but where will we be with a balanced budget in 2015 with what I suspect uses creative accounting when all the promised money becomes due? Will the balanced budget be worth it? I just don’t know. I am now 81 and I have to ask, “Where is my Canada?” Ray Kent, Tweed

within how many miles of her location, so how they can compare hydro consumption based on area alone is very questionable. I contacted Hydro One and they were very short on constructive answers. The only thing they could suggest was unplugging a second refrigerator and a couple of other rather benign things. I contacted Todd Smith, the MPP

for her riding and nothing came of that. It sounds like it is some sort of make work program that is meant to make Hydro One look better in light of the poor job they are doing at delivering affordable electricity. I thought I would share this with you for what it is worth. Sincerely, Gerry White, Arnprior

Bill C-520. What is it? Dear Editor, The private members Bill C-520 proposed recently by a Conservative MP is not necessary because good employment rules and behaviour for civil servants, re their political partisanship, has been in effect for decades on the Hill. What indeed then is this bill trying to do? It would require any federal public servant to state (on line) what political party he or she is affiliated with in the past ten years. As one opposition MP in the House recently said and I quote: “It’s a bill having a solution looking for a problem.” Private member bills are not quite what they seem to be, particularly in this case; it’s actually an extension of the Conservative government’s agenda and not at all “subject to caveat or scrutiny.” Do I exaggerate when saying this

sounds like East German Stasi police tactics? If not that, at least there lurks a Conservative tendency to secrecy and intimidation. With sly methods such as this, omnibus bills, etc., Canadians might observe during this election year a Conservative impulse to scare the electorate. The recently built $1.2billion CSIS building in Ottawa, Canada’s CIA headquarters, suggests we have terrorist boogeymen hiding under our rugs, and we must increase our security, even when the Conservative administration has been preaching economic austerity and cutbacks for years. Let’s hope this bill doesn’t pass. I paraphrase Thomas Jefferson: For a democracy to function, we must be ever vigilant. Tom Coulter, Campbellford

The appalling silence of good people Dear Editor, Only in Ontario can the Liberals win an election and be investigated by the OPP for criminal behaviour on the same day. It would be a great laugh if not so tragic. But it all took place during the Sudbury by-election held last Thursday. About three per cent of eligible voters exercised their voting privilege. I’m sure you know the story of Glen Thibeault. For six years he represented the Sudbury federal riding under the NDP banner. He quit in December just days after he qualified for his pension and became Wynne’s chosen prince in the recent Sudbury by-election. The rumours are he’s been promised a seat in her cabinet. I listened to him being interviewed on a Sudbury radio station the day after his win. During the interview, he used the line “to be perfectly honest”… yeah right, as if. How have we in Ontario fallen into such a black hole, where elected of-

ficials can undermine the process of our political system and apparently get away with it? It isn’t just the actions of bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Bad things happen when good people fail to act. Anybody for a rural revolution? Shelby J. Lawrence, Stirling

Macmillan said it is “one more component of economic development … an investment on behalf of the taxpayers” that is returned in tax dollars, jobs and a “vibrant downtown.” The mayor said the municipality will take a look at the program as part of the comprehensive service delivery review it will undertake later this year.

OPINION

Ukraine ceasefire? Editorial - Angela Merkel grew up under Communist rule in the old East Germany. She speaks fluent Russian. She has been the chancellor of Germany for the past ten years. And for all that time she has been negotiating with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, on wide variety of subjects–including, for the past year, Ukraine. They Gwynne Dyer may not like each other much, but they certainly know each other. So listen to what Angela Merkel said about the debate in the U.S. military, in the Congress, and even in the White House about sending direct American military aid to the Ukrainian government. “I cannot imagine any situation in which improved equipment for the Ukrainian army leads to President Putin being so impressed that he believes he will lose militarily,” she said. “I have to put it that bluntly.” Does anybody think that Angela Merkel is wrong about this? Does any sane person think Putin would flee in panic if he hears that the U.S. is going to send Ukraine “defensive weapons” (anti-tank weapons, anti-artillery radar and the like)? If not, then this is crazy talk. Nobody in the United states is talking about sending state-of-the-art U.S. tanks and planes to Ukraine, and they’re certainly not offering to send American troops. Secretary of State John Kerry is merely talking about giving some sophisticated “defensive weapons” to an army that doesn’t even use the weapons it has very well. The Ukrainian army is poorly trained, badly led, and controlled by a government in Kiev that is as incompetent as it is corrupt. It sometimes wins when it is fighting the equally ragtag troops of the two breakaway “republics” of Donetsk and Lugansk. But if the Ukrainian government troops and the assorted volunteer battalions that fight alongside them start to win, then the Russians send in a few thousand well-trained soldiers and push the Ukrainians back. That’s what happened last August, and now it’s happening again. Putting more advanced “defensive weapons” in Ukrainian hands is not going to change this pattern, and military professionals in Washington know it. This proposal is pure, strategyfree tokenism. Of course, Putin’s stated concerns about Western plots to draw Ukraine into NATO are not very rational either. He’s exceptionally ill-informed if he thinks that Western European countries like France and Germany would let Ukraine join NATO, since that would mean they were taking on a treaty obligation to fight Russia on Ukraine’s behalf. He’s completely deluded if he takes his own

military’s hoary arguments about Ukraine’s military importance seriously. It is 2015, not 1945, and Russia has lots of nuclear weapons. It simply doesn’t matter whether NATO’s tanks are far from Russia’s border or close to it. Wherever they are, nuclear deterrence still works. And Putin can’t really be worried about the example that a democratic and prosperous Ukraine might set for his own people. Ukrainian incomes are far lower than Russian ones (thanks mainly to Russian oil and gas), and the West shows no inclination to pour money into Ukraine in quantities large enough to change that. And though Ukraine is more democratic than Russia, its government is no less corrupt. What drives Putin, therefore, is a grab-bag of emotional motives. His man in Kiev got overthrown, and he doesn’t like to lose face. Even if Ukraine has little strategic or economic importance, it was part of Russia for 300 years, and he hates the idea that it might just slide into the West on his watch. He shares the paranoia about the evil intentions of the West that every Russian inherits (for very good historical reasons). None of this is worth a full-scale war in Ukraine, let alone a serious military confrontation with the West or a new Cold War. Maybe if the United States were prepared to go in boots and all, showering Ukraine with weapons, money and even U.S. troops, Putin might back away, although it would be a terrible risk to take. But some token “defensive weapons,” basically to make Americans feel better? That involves less risk of a huge Russian over-reaction, admittedly, but it would still be a big step toward a new Cold War, and for no possible gain. That is why Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande flew to Moscow last Friday: to head Kerry off by patching up some new ceasefire (or reviving the old one) in eastern Ukraine. They will be meeting with Putin and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Minsk on Wednesday in the hope that they can make it happen. At best, that would mean the effective loss of Ukrainian sovereignty over two more provinces (Crimea is already gone), and a semi-permanent “frozen conflict” on Ukraine’s eastern border. Not great, but realistically Ukraine has no better options anyway. We know Putin is willing to settle for such “frozen conflicts” in order to cripple disobedient former Soviet republics, because he has already done it with Moldova and Georgia. We know that the victims of such tactics can thrive despite Moscow’s games. Georgia certainly does, and Ukraine could do even better with strong European Union and U.S. support. There is no satisfactory military solution for either side. Settle for a stalemate, and move on.

I know I’m old-fashioned, but I believe in buying CDs By Stephen Petrick

Editorial - I recently covered the Jefferson Starship show at Belleville’s Empire Theatre, which was opened by a young, talented brother-sister band called Instant Rivalry. The performers told the crowd they had hoped to release an album soon, pending the results of their “crowdfunding” campaign. As a music fan who feels compelled to support good young artists, that word, crowdfunding, breaks my heart. Crowdfunding is the act of soliciting public donations through social media to fund a project. Artists of virtually all mediums do it now, particularly musicians who are fighting to survive in era where few people purchase traditional albums and the few record companies that still exist aren’t likely to take a chance on new artists because they fear their records won’t sell. The fact few people buy music on CD or vinyl records anymore is no one person’s fault. It’s a reality of our times and the decline in record sales has been happening ever since the Internet became common in the 1990s, an act which made sharing music electronically free–even if it’s often illegal. Personally, I feel true music fans should buy albums of musicians they like, even if they can get it free somehow. Paying money to enjoy artists’ work just seems like the morally right thing to do, plus it helps maintain a culture where there’s a glimmer of hope that new musicians can come up and survive. I’m not sure how to make a compelling argument that today’s younger generation is missing out on the thrill of buying albums, but for some reason, I feel they are. I’m just old enough to remember a time when CD warehouses existed. Places like HMV or Sam the Record Man sold music almost exclusively. Now such stores have just tiny music sections and the rest of the retail space is used for DVDs and other pop culture products. I’m dating myself here, but back in the 1990s we high school kids would flock to these stores religiously, looking for albums of the latest, greatest bands. It seemed like a great time for music. Nirvana took the world by storm and put some edge into the industry. Bands like Pearl Jam

and Stone Temple Pilots followed. R & B and hip hop were coming into their own and pop stars were still plentiful (by the 1990s Michael Jackson had turned weird, but he was still talented). In some ways, I feel the musical industry today is better. The Internet has almost killed the concept of the mega-selling band, but fans’ newfound ability to share music through social media has allowed a culture where zillions of small, more homely musicians can develop niche followings. I’ve been intrigued to watch what were once independent-label bands I’ve liked, such as The Decemberists, rise to a level of relative fame. But I also worry that kids today can’t experience the same intense love for a big band that kids of previous generations could. They won’t ever tour with the Grateful Dead, attend a record store at midnight to purchase a Beatles album, or camp outside a stadium all night to buy Metallica tickets. They can’t because, well, Jerry Garcia is dead, as is the concept of the midnight record sale or the actual ticket booth. If you really want these things today, you buy them online. I suppose missing these opportunities seems trivial, but they are experiences that linger in a person’s mind like their first love. They’re memories that stay with us forever. They define who we are. And they provide stories to share with our children about the days when we were young. Fortunately, the concept of good music will never die. As long as people are walking the Earth, great music will be made. And great bands of the future will promote their work through the media of their day. But I believe, to help preserve culture, music fans should support musicians they love by buying their albums–whether electronically through iTunes, on classic vinyl or an old-fashioned CD, something I still prefer. And there’s nothing wrong with supporting artists’ crowdfunding campaigns, too, although, to me, it seems like a challenging way to make a living. I just hope for the sake of Instant Rivalry– and the plethora of other great talents out there– that there’s a future for music, one that allows them to enjoy the perks of both the present and the past.

Sandbag policy remains in place be included on the township’s service’s brochure as well as the municipal website. “I don’t see this spring as being like last spring,” public works manager Jeff Waldon said hopefully. “We haven’t had a chance to apply it yet,” Waldon said of the policy. “It is definitely a tool for us to help answer some of the questions we had last spring with certain scenarios. It will also help us recoup some of our costs with some people who [aren’t] proactive to the situation.”

Available in most new Ford vehicles with 6-month pre-paid subscription

“The township [has] no opportunity to assess fairness and efficiency of the policy with reaction from the residents of the municipality,” Waldon noted in a report to council. During the two-week flood period the public works and fire and rescue department provided “mitigation services” in the form of sand, sandbags and manpower to affected residents. “This was completed upon request by landowners affected by the rising water without discriminating to the type of situation,” the report, composed by Waldon and Fire Chief Darryl Payne, says. In talks with neighbouring municipalities they identified two “distinct type of responses” to the flooding: emergency and non-emergency. “Although all of the situations required assistance how they are defined would define who would pay for the sandbagging.” An emergency response where there was no previous warning from any government agency leaving the property owner with no chance to prepare for possible flooding would be funded by the municipality. “When the initial flooding occurs with no warning the township will provide equipment, sand, sandbags and labour for property directly affected or endangered by the flooding at no cost to the property owner,” the policy says. Government agencies usually give prior warning through a number of different media advising property owners to take preventative action. “Homeowners can be proactive and prepare for flooding before the event occurs because of credible information supplied by monitoring agencies,” the report says. Sand and sandbags will be provided free of charge at the public works yard when requested; the property owner would have to pick up the bags and be responsible for cleanup and removal. In a non-emergency response there will be a charge applied for equipment and staff time, the sand and sandbags. A majority of residents didn’t take preventative action, the report notes, but still expected the township to help protect their property. If they “fail to be diligent by ignoring flood warnings” a “cost recovery” program will be applied: $50 per man hour; $200 per hour if the public works truck is used (driver, truck sand and sandbags included) and $100 per hour for half-ton service (driver, sand, sandbags). Waldon says lots of the calls last year were “we might flood.” After the water receded they also received cleanup calls. Public works staff took trucks on site and lifted the bags using a hoist. “I personally don’t think we need a policy,” said Councillor Roy Millett. “Anybody who buys a property in a flood plain area should know what they’re doing. If we’re going to have a policy I think it should be user-pay.” “They always have notice. I don’t think we should have to drop everything at the last minute and go bail them out,” said Millett.

Former nurse recalls working long hours in house turned into a hospital By John Campbell

News - Campbellford - The Campbellford-Seymour Heritage Society is located at 113 Front Street North and the house next door once played a pivotal role in the town’s history. The residence served as a hospital for nearly 20 years, starting in 1935, and it was there six years later that Rita Smith Collin got her first job as a nurse–because her dad was a pool player. He and Dr. E.A. Stuart were playing a game when the doctor mentioned he needed a nurse because he didn’t know how he was going to manage without one. Collin got hired and it changed her life. She worked 12-hour shifts but was on call 24. “I can remember working 22 hours before I got to bed,” she recalled last week, days before her 95th birthday–and a surprise party held at Campbellford Memorial Multicare Lodge where she resides. Despite the long hours, “I just loved that job,” Collin said. It was “one thing after another all the time … It was so exciting.”

The two-storey, red brick building had ten beds and “most of the time they were filled” with mothers who had given birth, she said. Back then mothers would remain in hospital for eight days. Only two people provided nursing care at the small institution which also employed a person in the kitchen and a custodian. Three doctors with local practices attended to the patients and performed minor operations, such as the removal of tonsils. “They were the greatest doctors,” who cared about their patients, Collin said. Her duties were many, including taking X-rays of arms and legs, using “one of the first [machines] ever manufactured” for such a purpose. She also developed the pictures. For her labours she got paid $75 a month, but she could earn extra by going to people’s homes. “If I went on a case it was $5 a day.” Theresa Lee, a nurse in World War I who started the hospital auxiliary in 1943, relieved Collin whenever “I wanted to go to a dance or

Agriculture Hall of Fame looks for first nominees

By Bill Freeman

News - Peterborough County - The nascent Peterborough County Agricultural Hall of Fame is looking for nominations for its first class of inductees this summer. “We’re at the point now that we’re going around to various community groups and fair boards to create interest,” chair Wayne Warner said during the Norwood Agricultural Society’s annual awards dinner where he spoke about the venture which will be housed at Lang Pioneer Village. The initiative was started over a year ago and a committee was established to spearhead a project that would “recognize outstanding contributions to the agricultural industry in Peterborough County.” Warner of Asphodel-Norwood chairs the seven-member committee. The first induction ceremony will take place later this summer and Warner hopes they are able to generate interest within the agricultural community and communities at large for nominees. Nominations for this summer’s ceremony close May 1.

“In order to get things rolling we’re probably looking at six or seven inductees the first year,” he says. This would include agricultural leaders who are no longer alive and Warner says they have already “grandfathered” two people into the hall: David Fife, the developer of Red Fife wheat, and G.A. Brethen, a former president of the Norwood Agricultural Society and a leading voice in the dairy industry of his time. “We feel these two are worthy recipients,” said Warner. The committee wants to establish a permanent site at Lang and hopes that by 2017 that will happen. 2017 is also Lang’s fiftieth anniversary and the sesquicentennial of Confederation. Until that time there will be a temporary wall display at Lang for the inductees. Warner is urging people to think of possible nominees and noted that a website has been created for the Hall of Fame which allows people to submit nominations online. “We look forward to the support of the agricultural communi-

ty and the community in general for this endeavour,” he added. This past summer Lang received a $95,000 boost from the province’s Rural Economic Development (RED) fund that will help with the initiative. For more information visit <www.ptbogwall.com> or email <chair@ptbo-ag-wall-of-fame. com>.

Soup’er challenge returns to Havelock

News - Havelock - There’s no better way to show off your secret soup, chili or sweet treats dessert recipe than during the popular Family Day “Soup, Chili and Desert Challenge� at the Havelock Lions Community Hall. The seventh annual fun-filled homegrown culinary showdown returns February 16 and once again includes free public skating in the arena and food sampling and voting upstairs starting at 11

a.m. The soup and dessert challenge is hosted by the Training Education and Careers Havelock (TEACH) Centre. Last year organizers added a chili division which should grow in popularity and nothing says chili better than minus 25 temperatures and the polar-like weather we’ve had the past two winters. The event is wide open and presents plenty of opportunities for people who like to get imagi-

native in the kitchen or around a slow cooker. In 2014, guests sampled everything from El Barco Azteca and caramelized onion and potato soup to “It’s All About the Cheddar.� On the dessert table there were tantalizing offerings like Peanut Butter Magic Cake, mint double chocolate whoopee pies and Triple Chip Cookie. “It’s always exciting to see the community get together and we’re glad we can put this on,� Phil Hig-

Change in school closure guidelines raises concerns ister of education has been requested when a conference of municipal officials is held next month in Toronto, to let him know the impact of a school’s closing on a community “should stay as one of the measurement criteria.â€? Mayor Hector Macmillan said he’s “not overly concernedâ€? that CDHS will someday will shut its doors but “it’s extremely important ‌ [to] not become complacent, slough it off and think it will never happen, because there are going to be school closures; it’s just a matter of where they are.â€? He said removing commu-

nity impact from the guidelines “is a deliberate effort to make it easier� to close a school. Educational facilities are part of a community’s “fabric� and “way of life� and losing them has “far greater and widespread impacts beyond just the frustration of students having to be bused elsewhere, and the loss of local programming.� Redden said it should be “a strong focus� of rural councils across the province to let the ministry know how opposed they are to removing community impact from the decisionmaking process. “We must not let them just wipe it off the books,� she said.

The Trent Hills Regional News published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

News - Trent Hills - Another concern about the future of Campbellford District High School was raised at council last week. It has to do with a proposal by the Ministry of Education to change the guidelines local school boards must follow when contemplating a school closure. The changes include “a shift away from consideration of the impact of school closures to community well-being and the local economy toward a more exclusive focus on student achievement,â€? says the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO). The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board has no plans to close any schools, as its current focus is on holding meetings in five communities where local high schools are being challenged by declining enrollment. CDHS is one of them and a meeting at the high school is to take place there February 25. Board chair Cathy Abraham has said “the greatest difficultyâ€? facing the five schools is their ability “to offer a wide range of academic programs and course selectionsâ€? for students. But Councillor Cathy Redden expressed concern about the impact the ministry’s proposed revisions to the Pupil Accommodation Review Guidelines ultimately could have in Trent Hills. “Rural stakeholders really need to be concerned about the impact on the community,â€? of narrowing the scope to student achievement, when considering a school’s closure, Redden said. She cited the harmful effect losing a school could have on the local economy, and students who would have to travel great distances by bus to attend classes. “Student success not only rests on what’s available in the school during the daytime classes but also rests on ‌ extra-curricular activities,â€? such as students being able to stay late to participate in sports, she said. CAO Mike Rutter said that while the school board is focusing its attention on how to improve the student experience through curriculum and that its consultations have nothing to do with the ministry’s plans, “down the road, who knowsâ€? what could happen. Rutter said a meeting with the min-

gins of the TEACH Centre said following last year’s event. “Eating seems to be something we all do well together and the focus on homemade goods is just fun to do. It’s a perfect fit for Family Day.â€? “There were lots of people from the community out and lots of new faces,â€? added organizer Brooke Wrightly. “People look forward to it.â€? Wrightly hopes the chili section takes off. Last year there were four entries so there’s lots of room for growth. Last year the event received volunteer help from local Scouts, Norwood District High School students as well as four Fleming College Culinary Arts students who helped with judging. Wrightly says the co-ordinator of the Fleming program really likes the event and wants the college to stay involved in the future. The 2014 winners were: People’s Choice - Soup, Stacey Caine, Sugar Caine Catering, wild mushroom and barley; Runner-up, Athanee Wrightly, caramelized onion and potato; Most Unique, Lawson Wrightly, “It’s All About the Chedda ‌â€?; Chili, Luke Benjamin, venison chili; Dessert, Vicki Blakely, mint double chocolate whoopee pies.

President of Warkworth fair board re-elected at annual general meeting

News - Warkworth - Plans for this year’s Warkworth Fall Fair are already being lassoed and corralled by a group of dedicated volunteers led by Greg Torrance, who was re-elected for another term at the recent annual general meeting of the Percy Agricultural Society. This is a special year for the fair; it’s the 165th anniversary of what has become a long-standing tradition for this community. “The past couple of years have been exciting working with such a competent fair board that has some great ideas,” Torrance commented. “I look forward to the challenges of the next couple of years as we negotiate the Flourish campaign land transfer, make plans on how to replace some of

our infrastructure and holding our 165th fair,” he added with enthusiasm. And it’s that kind of attitude that is shared by all the volunteers who work so hard to make this fair a success, bringing new and different events each and every year. Last year it was Ken Jen’s Celebrity Pig Racing, this year it’s the Extreme Cowboys who will be showcased. “With the Extreme Cowboys becoming part of our Sunday itinerary this year, and the promotion of the 100th anniversary of 4-H Ontario, the fair will be a fantastic place for the family to come and be exposed to our rural heritage,” Torrance noted. Also the Percy Agricultural Society has decided to become a member of the Warkworth Business Association.

secretary. In keeping with wanting to increase awareness of the fair Russell said the board recently held a Facebook competition. “People were supposed to take a selfie on a farm and put it up on our Facebook page,” she explained. The winner for this firstever event was Aaron Eddie of Trent Hills who won $25. As well Russell thought it would be a good idea to start keeping a record of members and how long they have been with the society. “We want to start recognizing people for all their hard work,” said Russell, citing David Glover as an example. He joined in 1975 when the tractor pull began and “he still runs the tractor pull today.”

Common Mistakes when Buying and Selling #8 “Should I buy my house through the listing agent?”

A common misconception among Buyers is that they have an advantage when buying a house through the listing agent. Below are some of the advantages of working with a Buyer’s agent: s Impartiality: a Buyer’s agent works solely for the Buyer and does not represent the interests of the Seller, putting him/her in a more unbiased position to help you find the most suitable houses and highlight the pros and cons of each; s Negotiating power: a listing agent who is representing both Seller and Buyer walks a fine line especially when negotiating the price and particularly if the listing price of the house is higher than its market value (as a result of poor advice or simply because the homeowner wants to list at a higher price). A Buyer’s agent is completely unbiased and will be more able to help you negotiate the best price, terms and conditions; s Trust: this is one of the main features of working with any agent. A Buyer’s agent who is fully committed and dedicated to helping you find the right home will earn your trust and work in your best interests to find you the right home. Remember, you don’t have to buy a house with the agent who is listing the house you want. If you do, make sure that he/she is equally working in your best interest. For help in buying your next home, please give me a call!

That’s 40 years of dedication to the fair. “Then there’s Ann-Marie Switzer who started with the fair in 1997-1998. She looks after vendors, concessions and organizes the elimination car draw,” said Russell. And then there’s Bruce Brown, who started helping with the tractor pull in 1993 and hasn’t looked back.

Bringing the Ontario Extreme Cowboys (Association) there for all to enjoy is just one of many events being planned. They are also being featured at the Norwood and Roseneath fairs this year. But everyone agrees that a fair doesn’t happen without a lot of hard work by volunteers.

News - Norwood - There’ll be no more living out of boxes and the public works building for the Asphodel-Norwood Historical Society. Township Council has agreed to allow the 25-year-old organization to use part of the former Asphodel Township municipal office as a permanent home to showcase the society’s “considerable� collection. The society currently uses space at the township’s public works building on Highway 7 to house part of its collection after moving from its cramped quarters at the former Pine Street Centre. The rest of its collection is stored in members’ homes and remains “fragmented,� says president Judy Chaplin who’s “thrilled� at the creation of the permanent 1,200square-foot home. The new space will “far surpass anything we’ve ever had,� Chaplin said following council’s decision. “I don’t think there would be any comparison. We have so much stuff in boxes that hasn’t seen the light of day since I don’t know when and it’s going to take a while to get it done properly but that’s my goal.� Having material at the public works building and private homes has made access difficult and hindered research,

she noted. “Not having a permanent home lowers the profile of what we believe is one of the township’s valuable assets. A heritage centre would be able to stage thematic displays and exhibitions [and] offer school visits and be an aid to tourism in the area.� The new Westwood home will also allow the society to work more closely with other local organizations like the Legion, public library and seniors, Chaplin added. An earlier proposal to house the society in the Westwood building did not pan out owing to the uncertainty surrounding the building and the state of the interior after a water leak and lack of general maintenance. Now that there is a commercial tenant for a portion of the building, CAO Joe van Koeverden says there will be income that will allow them to create a reserve fund to be used for “current and future costs� and allow the Historical Society to occupy the site at no additional cost to the township or that organization. “It’s all been cleaned up, painted and repaired and is in good shape,� van Koeverden said. The township will cover the cost of the utility portion for the society, he

But arrhythmia can affect even those men and women who have healthy hearts and no history of cardiovascular disease. Symptoms of arrhythmia can vary greatly, from a single premature beat to a series of premature beats that occur in rapid succession. Arrhythmia that lasts long enough to affect heart function may include symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and chest pain.

Heart health should be a concern for people of all ages, but especially so for men and women over 50. That’s because, according to the American Heart Association, even men and women who are free of cardiovascular disease at age 50 are at a significant lifetime risk of developing the disease. But heart disease does not have to be an accepted byproduct of aging. For example, a 2014 study published in the AHA journal Circulation found that maintaining or increasing physical activity after age 65 can improve the heart’s well-being and lower risk of heart attack. In addition to increasing physical activity as they age, older men and women who understand heart disease and learn to recognize its symptoms have a greater chance of minimizing its affects and lowering their risk of having a heart attack. What are the symptoms of heart disease? Heart disease is a blanket term used to describe a host of conditions, so symptoms vary depending on each individual condition. The following are some of the more widely known conditions and their symptoms: s (YPERTENSION !LSO KNOWN AS HIGH BLOOD pressure, hypertension is a largely symptomless form of heart disease. The AHA notes that the idea that hypertension produces symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, facial flushing, nervousness, and sweating is a misconception. Symptoms typically do not alert men and women to the presence of hypertension, highlighting the emphasis men and women should place on routine visits to the doctor’s office, where their blood pressure can be taken. s (EART ATTACK 4HE SYMPTOMS OF A HEART ATTACK are different than the symptoms of heart disease that may lead to heart attack.

Children who learn nursery rhymes become better readers

News - Hastings - Children who learn eight nursery rhymes by the time they’re four develop better reading skills by the time they’re eight. That is a research fact Sasha Korper, early learning specialist with the Northumberland YMCA, keeps in mind when she visits schools and Ontario Early Years Centres to deliver literacy programs. Korper was in Hastings as part of Family Literacy Day celebrations which she noted is something that should be celebrated year-round. “One day out of 365 is not enough,” she said. “We do activities throughout the year so this [visit to Hastings] is not the only day.” Her goal was to “really connect with parents” and to do an “extended circle.” “It’s important to gather, to have a story time and do some songs and rhymes,” she said before reading Nancy

E. Shaw’s popular Sheep in a Jeep to a room full of pre-schoolers, parents and caregivers. They talked about colours using the black and white sheep and other animals as well as shapes which were integrated with the shape of the Jeep. “I like to help the adults to see how they can integrate themes, songs and play to teach kids rhyming. “Rhymes are really important things to do as well as fun and silly so one of the messages we give out is how many every day activities we do with our children include literacy elements and opportunities to learn.” Something as simple as talking to a child about traffic signs is a perfect example, she says. “One of the key things to learning is to recognize that a symbol represents a sound.” Another example is making up grocery lists with your child and having

the child try to pick out things from the list then connect the letter with the object, like “A” for apple, then visiting that section of the store and discovering that the apple represents that object. “It brings it into the real world for them,” Korper says. “We’re looking for children to be more aware of the sounds within words [which] is another key element in reading. It helps them to realize that these rhyming sounds exist in our language and that we need to be able to pick them out.” The brain, Korper says, is “trained to recognize that and pull those sounds out” and it happens as we introduce nursery rhymes to children. “That’s why those children who learn rhymes when they’re four become better readers.” Making silly sounds and making words up is a “beautiful way” to stimulate that, Korper adds.

“It’s a natural way for our brain to function in terms of finding patterns; we’re pattern seekers and story makers.” She also says it’s wrong to think of reading as simply a solitary or silent pursuit. Korper uses the word sharing rather than reading because the “idea of sharing the book means there’s a conversation between adult and child. “Conversation helps children develop expressive language instead of just receptive language.” Korper also calls it “book talk.” “I’m not just reading the story I’m stopping a lot and getting children to give me feedback to have them engage so we’re really sharing the story together.” When a child is using expressive language that’s when they are learning Sasha Korper, early learning specialist with the Norbest. thumberland YMCA, was in Hastings to help celebrate “It’s the most powerful way of Family Literacy Day at the Ontario Early Years Centre. learning.” Photo: Bill Freeman

Community Care looks for more local drivers local trips. “Local drivers are also needed to get our clients to social programs that are hosted at our Hastings office,” Baird said. The popular Thursday afternoon knitting club is an example. Baird says that CCN’s local drivers “directly help individuals by supplementing the driving of friends and family or taking on transportation for those without the ability to drive.” “We’re always looking for volunteer drivers,” Vandine added. If prospective volunteers like people this is something they should do, says Jehle. If he was in need of a Community Care driver he’d certainly avail himself of the service. “If you were to take that service away there are a lot of people who can’t get anywhere; they’d be locked in their homes and can’t get out.” Jehle doesn’t just do medical appointments but he does know that many residents need the CCN driving

program for life-saving dialysis appointments. “You have to be there,” he said of clients taking dialysis in Peterborough, Cobourg or other distant places. “For the person who needs it [dialysis] they don’t have a choice,” says Vandine says. “If they miss it, it can be catastrophic.” For volunteer drivers taking clients to local engagements the commitment involves picking up the client and dropping them off at their appointment or activity then picking them up later and taking Hans Jehle has been a volunteer driver for Community Care Northumberthem home. Local volunteer drivers receive land and its Trent Hills offices for 20 years. The organization is looking for reimbursement which is paid to them by the client. more volunteer local drivers.

News - Hastings - Community Care Northumberland’s offices in Trent Hills could use a few more people like Hans Jehle, a volunteer driver with the organization for 20 years and someone who knows it doesn’t require much to help people out. “If you’re retired and you have time on your hands, why not? You’re helping other people and that’s the main thing,” the genial former bus driver and resort owner said during a chat at CCN’s Hastings office. Jehle lives near Healey Falls and is as keen and as sociable as he was in his first years with the organization after following up a suggestion from a friend. “It gets me out and it gives me something to do,” he said. “This service is needed in this area [because] we have no public transportation. All the people I drive around are so grateful they have drivers to take them places. “I like people and I like to get out. It’s very satisfying.” Community Care is actively recruiting people to transport clients to non-medical appointments or social and recreational activities within Trent Hills. Drivers who are able to take clients to medical and non-medical appointments further afield are also needed. “Transportation is so important especially in a rural community where people are travelling outside of Trent Hills for medical appointments,” says Alicia Vandine, CCN’s regional community relations co-ordinator. There are also clients who need to get around in Hastings or to travel to Hastings or other places in Trent Hills for shopping and recreational needs, Vandine says. “These appointments can range from simple grocery shopping or even getting them to the hair salon,” CCN executive director Trish Baird said of

No plans to close Campbellford high school, superintendent tells council News - Trent Hills - Declining enrollment doesn’t mean Campbellford District High School has been earmarked for closing, Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board superintendent of education Greg Ingram assured council last week. “We’re not coming to Campbellford to close [CDHS],” he said of the special meeting the board will hold in town February 25. “I’ve never even heard it suggested, that’s not part of this discussion.” The meeting is about what the options are for programming at the high school with a student population that is getting smaller, he explained. “We want to know from the community what do you value in a secondary

[school] education.” Ingram said the board has laid off about 80 high school teachers each of the past two years because of “significant declining enrollment” across all its high schools–1,000 to 2,000 fewer students each year in the system. Shrinking student numbers are not just an issue for Kawartha Pine Ridge, “this is a province of Ontario challenge,” Ingram said. The school board’s response has been to identify high schools where enrollment has fallen below 500 and “to work at making sure [they] have the programming that they need,” Ingram said. The five are CDHS, Norwood, Lakefield, Port Hope and Clarke. The board arranged for meetings to be held in

bers of our team. We depend on our volunteers to enhance our programs and the services we offer and to assist our staff in providing quality care aligned with our mission, vision and value,” said Brad Hilker, hospital president and CEO. On behalf of our physicians, staff and our patients, I would like to recognize the support and dedication of our volunteers to our hospital,” he added. Campbellford Memorial Hospital Volunteer Service Awards were also presented to the following individuals: Narine St. Pierre, recognizing 15 years of service; Bea Galica, recognizing 15 years of service; Nick VerHoef, recognizing ten years of service; and Isobel Lunn, recognizing five years of service “The benefits of volunteering at Campbellford Memorial Hospital are endless. Whether it be through direct or indirect interaction with patients and their families, our volunteers help to improve the quality of care and the overall

hospital experience,” Hilker said. CMH is a 34-bed health care facility located in Campbellford which serves approximately 30,000 Northumberland, Peterborough and Hastings County residents, as well as a large seasonal population of cottagers and tourists. As the only hospital between Belleville and Peterborough, CMH provides a comprehensive array of acute care services. The hospital’s 24-hour Emergency Department has approximately 20,000 visits each year. To ensure comprehensive, co-ordinated, patient and family centred care that meets local needs, the hospital’s community health care campus partners include the Trent Hills Family Health Team; Campbellford Memorial Health Centre; Campbellford Memorial Multicare Lodge; Campbellford and District Community Mental Health Centre; as well as other area hospitals and community agencies. “These partners ensure you receive

each of those communities to hear what ideas people in those areas have about “next steps.” Ingram said the principals of the five high schools were consulted last fall and he was to meet with students at Lakefield, Campbellford and Norwood this week to ask them the same questions, about strengths, “areas of concerns” and thoughts about the future. “We’re trying to pull together thinking from all our key stakeholders to inform our future planning report,” to be delivered in the spring, Ingram said. The municipality and school council will have a chance to give their input at the February 25 meeting to be held at the high school. Area trustee Shirley Patterson said funding from the Ministry of Education

is based on enrollment which “ties the hands of the board [members] who are concerned with providing the best educational programs” for students. It’s about giving students choices in curriculum so they “can find their place in the school to meet their needs,” Ingram said. But “as the numbers get smaller in schools … the harder it is to offer” specialized programming, Ingram said. “You can only cut an apple so many slices.” His preference is to “do a few things really well, that way you have the numbers to keep it going,” he said. Ingram noted that declining enrollment has now “levelled off” in the lower grades, “so we’re actually holding our own in the elementary schools.”

Volunteers’ dedication recognized by hosptial

News - Campbellford - A special volunteer luncheon was held recently by Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) to honour those dedicated individuals. The Most Dedicated Volunteer award was shared by two people, Dave Masterson and Andrew Tewsley. In a press release from the hospital it was noted that “volunteers are an important part of any hospital’s health care team and the volunteers at Campbellford Memorial Hospital are no exception.” “I volunteered at Campbellford Memorial Hospital after moving into town as a way to integrate myself into the community,” said Tewsley, “During my time here, I am continually motivated by being in the company of the dedicated and caring staff and fellow volunteers helping the wonderful people that live and visit this community,” he added. “Our volunteers are integral mem-

Campbellford board presents agricultural service award at annual general meeting By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - The presentation of the prestigious Agricultural Service Award given each year by the Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural Society was the highlight of the organization’s recent annual general meeting. Eleanor Bennett was this year’s recipient and “an ideal candidate for this award due to her efforts as a reliable, hard-working and well-deserving member of the Homecraft Division,” said Angela Runciman, Homecraft secretary/ treasurer and Homecraft past president. The annual general meeting was held January 24 and featured a dinner banquet at the Campbellford and District Curling and Racquet Club.

Every year the Society selects an individual or a couple to receive the Agricultural Service Diploma. “It is awarded to well-deserving individuals without whose service the society would be lost,” noted Runciman who presented the award along with Homecraft Past President Debbie Petherick. They mentioned that Bennett is wellknown for her support of her church and its work in the community. She is one of the original co-originators of the fair’s “Sale Barn Crew” and is a busy wife, mother and grandmother involved in the family’s successful dairy operation. “Eleanor has contributed countless hours of unselfish service to the Campbellford Fair and for the past three de-

cades has been an instrumental part of the Needlecraft Division,” said Runciman. “One of the key things that was recognized was Eleanor’s initiation and oversight of 13 years of the Warming Tree, which has provided over 1,600 knitted articles, warm mittens, hats and socks distributed to kids in our local schools, and to disadvantaged individuals through local Christmas hamper programs,” she added. Bennett said she “was overwhelmed to receive the award and appreciated everyone’s support. She enjoyed working with such a dedicated bunch.” The evening was also a time to mark another successful fair last year, one which celebrated the 160th anniversary

of this tradition. In preparation for 4-H Ontario’s upcoming 100th anniversary, the evening also included several young, local 4-H members, who spoke about their 4-H clubs and how valuable the 4-H Program is to them. This year’s fair will take place August 7, 8, 9 and the theme is “Celebrate 4-H - Learn To Do By Doing.” Homecraft Past President Debbie Petherick, left, and Angela Runciman, right, Homecraft secretary/treasurer and Homecraft past president presented the prestigious Agricultural Service Award at the annual general meeting of the Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural Society.

Guitar heaven in Hastings

News - Hastings - You never know, maybe the next Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, Jimmy Page or Ani DeFranco will emerge from Hastings Public School bending strings and inventing sounds that stop you dead in your tracks. What a sweet thought that is and with the beginning of the first ever Hastings guitar workshop, led by local guitar teacher Patrick Kelleher, that’s not so farfetched especially given the music-rich traditions in the region. “This is exciting,” says HPS principal Sarah Rogers. The idea of guitar lessons was suggested by parent Danica Donald; when Rogers started to sound out parents about the idea she was “very surprised” at the interest. “We didn’t know if we’d have enough for one day and now we’re booked for two days,” she said of the five-week program. “Every year we look for new opportunities [especially with the arts].” The five-week program costs $20 so it’s giving children who might not normally be able to afford private lessons a chance to try out the guitar. Kelleher says he’s mostly a one-on-one teacher but he led a similar session at St. Kristine Lalone, in Grade 2, shows off some finger work on the strings for Mary’s in Campbellford a few years ago guitar instructor Patrick Kelleher during the special five-week guitar work- and it was very successful. “They just had so much fun,” he said. shop that is being held at Hastings Public School.

Hastings First Dental to open late February, early March

News - Hastings - For Dr. Klara Zaslavsky opening a dental practice in Hastings is a “dream come true.” “This is the realization of a dream,” the personable dentist said during an open house at the nearly completed Hastings First Dental office at the Water Street plaza. “Dentistry is my life, it’s my heart and this office is my dream,” she said. Almost everything is in place for the office’s opening which Dr. Klara says will happen late this month or early in early March. She had hoped to open in November but as is the case with office projects of this nature there were a few unexpected hurdles that have now been overcome and she’s excited about seeing her first patients. Dr. Klara is a native of the former USSR and studied at the First Leningrad University which has since reverted to its original name of Saint Petersburg State University and continues to rank as one of the leading universities in the world. It is Russia’s oldest university. Dr. Klara practised in Russia for ten years before immigrating to Canada 25 years ago and passing her Dental Examining Board of Canada requirements. She has been practising in Toronto for the past 15 years. “I’ve thought about this since I passed my exam,” she says. The examination process for foreign-

trained dentists is rigorous and Dr. Klara is thrilled to be in Hastings as the village’s dentist, something she began to explore after buying a cottage in the area four years ago. “I grew up in a small place like here, a small town that looked exactly like Hastings. When we bought the cottage and would walk around here I couldn’t believe it. It looks like my home town. I never saw a dentist around and I thought maybe this town is missing something, maybe it’s me.” “Because I grew up in a small town I know what it means to practise here in a small town,” Dr. Klara adds. There is something special about practising in a small town, she says.

“Maybe I won’t know everybody but everybody will know me.” Dr. Klara was pleased with the turnout at her open house and the fact that she was able to give personal tours of the repurposed office space now housing state-of-the-art dental equipment. “[I] was able to pay attention to each [person]. That is my style. I feel every patient is individual; they should have individual attention and treatment.” Dr. Klara sees herself as a “family dentist for the community.” You can contact Hastings First Dental on Water Street at 705-696-112 or <docklara@ hastingsdental.ca>.

Sports - Cordova Mines - You can forget about the NHL’s ridiculous bit of outdoor hockey at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, and even their fresh-air New Year’s Day shindig in Washington, D.C.; the real classic outdoor hockey experience happens in places like Cordova Mines on the natural, hand-shovelled ice at the hamlet’s amazing outdoor recreation pad. The sixth annual Cordova Outdoor Country Classic tourney got the jump on Hockey Day in Canada by a full week and lived up to its billing as a celebration of a rich part of Canada’s cultural identity. Eight teams, six from the GTA and two local squads from Havelock and Norwood, hit the ice for some three-onthree shinny action in an effort to help raise funds for the Cordova Recreation Association and ongoing maintenance of the jewel-like rink. This is about “celebrating part of Canada’s heritage and giving back to the community,” says tourney founder and organizer Tim Beckford. Organizers try to arrange the tournament so it falls on the actual Hockey Day but this year’s cross-Canada celebration takes place on Family Day weekend and Beckford wanted to steer clear of the holiday. “We do always try for the Hockey

Last year we were able to flood halfway through; you don’t always get ideal conditions to do that.” Beckford’s always happy to show off his home community to hockey-playing buddies from the GTA who have per-

haps lost touch with the joys of the outdoor game. “They just love it. As far as an outdoor rink it’s top-notch. We just want to keep it up and keep it going for [future generations],” he said. With that in mind, Beckford praised Havelock-Belmont-Methuen municipal staff and Deputy-mayor Jim Martin for their support in assisting with rink

maintenance. Martin, he said, approached them in the spring and summer and “we mentioned a few things at the rink that needed attention and he came out and took a look.” They followed through in the fall with the installation of some new boards, a project that was marred by the theft of eight new sheets valued at $800.

“They came back with a crew and did a great job on the boards; we’re in good shape for a little while,” said Beckford. “They took the old boards and made a nice curve at the bottom this year, it’s great. It’s kept the water in when we flood se we don’t lose any base. It’s really come a long way from where we were a year ago.”

Midget Hornets hope to defend title

By Bill Freeman

Sports - Norwood - The Norwood J.J. Stewart Midget Hornets are out to defend their OMHA “C” championship and take their next step towards that goal with a quarter-final match-up against the Shelburne Wolves starting February 13 in Norwood (9 p.m.) with a Valentine’s date in Shelburne February 14 (7:30 p.m.). Game three is back in Norwood February 15 (7 p.m.).The series is a re-match of last year’s quarterfinal which Norwood swept in three games. The Wolves defeated the Mariposa Lightning in three straight games with Norwood dropping Baltimore with three lopsided wins and a surprising 3 - 3 tie to reach the quarterfinal round. The 2014 Hornets are a different team than their Dr. Robert Matchett OMHA championship

squad with six players graduating and two more moving on to Junior C but they remain a formidable squad that is rounding into form for the play-off hunt. The team defeated Baltimore 9 - 1, 6 - 1 and 5 - 0 but learned a lesson in overconfidence in a 3 - 3 tie. The Hornets have a good balance between veterans and newcomers and are led by wingers Alex Barrett, Zander Buchanan and Bret Smale and captain Braden Thompson who patrols the blue line. The quartet is in their graduating year and join returnees Mike Elliott, goal, centremen Hayden Leeper and Jeremy Fleury and defencemen Dylan Finlay and Mitch Bell. The team also has a clutch of second year players who are new to the Midget Hornets and making their mark: Holden Fleury,

Josh Grasswell and Jacob MacDonald. Rookies on the squad include goalie Isaac Dart, blueliners Nic Buchanan and Gavin Woodburn and forwards Hayden Baptie, Nolan Beamish and Dawson Turcotte. Norwood posted an 11-9-2 record in Eastern Ontario Minor Hockey League action this season while the Wolves had a 9-5-6 record in the Georgian Bay Hockey League. The quarterfinal winner takes on the victor from the Blyth-Brussels versus South Bruce (Mildmay-Teeswater) series. In the west, East Lambton is playing Lucan and Port Dover is taking on Six Nations. On their way to the 2014 title, Norwood skated by South Bruce in five games before blasting the Port Dover Pirates in the final.

Al Qaeda prisoner came close to killing Campbellford couple ten years ago

By John Campbell

News - Campbellford - The drama recently played out in the Middle East, with the Islamic State demanding the release of an Al Qaeda prisoner on death row in exchange for not killing a captured Jordanian air pilot, has revived horrific memories for a Campbellford couple. Jim and Sue Nixon were at the hotel in Amman in November 2005 when the female militant, Sajida al-Rishawi, took part in a suicide mission with her husband that killed 27 guests in a local wedding party. He detonated his explosive vest, but she failed despite repeated attempts–and the Nixons and other members of their church are alive today as a result. “We wouldn’t be here,” if she had succeeded, said Jim Nixon, who was willing to talk about the tragic events of that day ten years ago, when he and his wife, along with others on a nine-day Biblical tour of Israel and Jordan, were having supper the night before they were to return home to Shelburne. “It would have killed everyone” in the lounge where they were seated, said the 71-year-old retiree, who moved to Campbellford with his wife three years ago. Nixon had left his group to take a vase he had purchased to the couple’s 11th floor hotel room for safekeeping. He had just entered the room when suddenly there was “a horrendous explosion,” he said, and “the whole building shook.” Fearing the worst, he quickly returned to the ground floor and when the elevator door opened, he saw “all

kinds of horrible things,” with bodies everywhere and people “running around screaming”–but no sign of his wife. “She didn’t know where I was and I didn’t know where she was.” He returned to the hotel room hoping to find her there but it was empty. “Now my heart is coming right out of my chest, so down I go again,” Nixon said. He thought he saw her across the room, but when he raced over there, he discovered it was another woman, her “eyes wide open” and “the top of her head was gone.” In a panic he continued his search when a member of the tour group came running into the room to tell Nixon his wife was safe outside and to leave the building immediately, because “there might be another bomb.” While out on the street, they heard another explosion in the distance; it was at another U.S.-based hotel, one of three that suicide bombers attacked that day, killing at least 57 people. The tour group flew out of Jordan the next day after being escorted to the airport by police. Two weeks later, Nixon was preparing to sing at a church in Bramalea as a member of a group, and “every person that came in, I’m watching them to see if they had a suitcase.” The tragedy of a decade ago again came to mind last week for Nixon when it was reported Islamic State militants threatened to kill a Jordanian pilot it had captured in December if Rishawi wasn’t Campbellford retiree Jim Nixon and his wife Sue narrowly escaped being killed in a terrorist attack on an Amman hotel in Jordan ten years ago that killed released within 24 hours. 27 people attending a local wedding. Memories of that horrific experience have returned with recent news reports about one of the Islamic militants Please see “Campbellford” page B3 who took part in the suicide mission but failed to detonate her explosives.

The resort is thrilled to provide the showcase for undiscovered talent, says Jane Doidge. “The partnership was really a blessing of good timing,â€? Doidge says. “The Ranch Resort was interested in developing a winter entertainment series that could promote new talent and give people a chance to enjoy and evening of good music, good food and good times. We had offered a similar talent search three years ago in a series of summer concerts and felt this could be successfully done again during our colder winter season.â€?

CCN encourages the public to open their hearts News - Northumberland - In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, Community Care Northumberland (CCN) hopes the public will open their hearts to local seniors or adults with disabilities by volunteering some time in their Friendly Visiting program. “Friendly Visiting volunteers offer companionship and conversation to people who live alone,� said Trish Baird, executive director of CCN. “Volunteers often take our clients out for walks in nice weather, read, play cards, board games or other social activities that are of interest to both them and the client.� One of the CCN clients spoke about the program. “Having a friendly visitor allows me to sometimes get out into the community as I need an arm because I am unsteady on my feet. My friendly visitor and I have taken the town transit and gone to the mall; walked along the boardwalk at the beach and sometimes we just stay at my home and have a cup of tea and a chat.� The friendly visiting program works

through matches. The CCN program staff match volunteers with clients based on their common interests. The volunteer then arranges the visits with their matched client. The commitment is only a few hours a week and at their mutual convenience and location. Visits can occur in the client’s home or for example, a trip to a local coffee shop. Clients are individuals in the community who could beneďŹ t from one-on-one company and companionship. If you have patience, with a caring and pleasant personality, with just a few hours to spare, you can make a difference in someone’s life in your community.

Campbellford Westben hosts launch party for the 2015 season couple reliving a horrible experience By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - New traditions was the theme of the 2015 season launch party hosted by Westben Arts Festival Theatre last Sunday. A crowd of supporters joined Westben co-founders Brian Finley and Donna Bennett along with artists and entertainers at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre to learn more about what will be happening in this their 16th anniversary season. “We are celebrating new traditions and there are three principal areas I want to take you through today sharing details of our performances at the barn, our summer music festival ‌ and we also have a lot of new traditions developing here at the clock tower and new programming and opportunities to get the community involved,â€? said Finley, later talking about a new Jazz Fringe Festival as part of this year’s lineup. “This new venue at the clock tower provides year-round opportunities for Westben and other arts groups in the area,â€? Finley explained.

The Islamic extremists carried out their threats to execute two Japanese citizens it held hostage, in retribution for Japan joining other nations in their ďŹ ght against the Islamic State. Seeing his would-be killer again in the news “brings back all the horriblenessâ€? for Nixon. His wife prefers not to talk about it, “she doesn’t want to go over it again.â€? Nixon said Rishawi “was supposed to be hung ten years ago.â€? He supports the stance taken by governments who refuse to negotiate with terrorists who demand prisoner exchanges or make ransom demands. “You don’t negotiate because once you do [they’re] going to keep doing that same thing,â€? he said. Governments have ‘to stick’ to their principles–‘don’t make deals.’â€? Videos posted online appear to show the beheadings of the two Japanese hostages. Al-Rishawi has since been executed as has the Jordanian pilot.

One of the photos Sue Nixon took of a Jordanian wedding party included a partial view of the militant Islamic couple who entered the hotel on a suicide mission. The man in the background wearing a leather jacket detonated his explosive vest but his wife, Sajida al-Rishawi, stationed at the opposite end of the room, was unable to detonate hers and has been in prison for the past decade.

For example, “Tick Talks at the Clockâ€? for 2015 debuts with Happy Birthday Chopin on Sunday, March 1, at 2 p.m. at which Finley will perform some of Chopin’s most celebrated piano works and Barb Hobart will talk about the music and life of Chopin and in celebration of this composers’ birthday, there will be cake and refreshments. Finley also talked about “Fiddler on the Roofâ€? describing it as “A great community production coming up in June.â€? It is the season opener at The Barn from June 6 to 14. The show’s director Edward Franko drove from Toronto, the day of the launch party, to be part of the celebration. Finley provided highlights of what this season will offer such as a chance to join luthier and ďŹ ddler Luke Mercier from Spring Brook for a ďŹ ddle making workshop and package on June 13 at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre. Canadian Tenor Adam Fisher who will be performing in the production Kings on Broadway, also drove from Toronto to participate in the launch party.

Commodores launch “Navy Blues” student jazz band News - Seventeen Quinte-area student musicians, representing schools across the region, are getting an extra-curricular fix of jazz orchestra performance as a result of a new project organized by the Commodores’ Orchestra, the longrunning Belleville-based big swing band. Musicians in the newlyformed Quinte Youth Jazz Ensemble, or “Navy Blues,” come from Grades 6 to 12, ranging in age from 11 to 17. They’ve been rehearsing traditional jazz like Benny Goodman’s Sing Sing Sing, all the way to Tower of Power’s What is Hip, and lots in between twice a month since September. The plan is to perform in the Quinte Rotary Music Festival, and in the Commodores’ May 14 concert to raise money for their Bruce Parsons Scholarship Fund. The QYJC is the brainchild of Commodores’ members Scott Mills and Blair Yarranton, instrumental music heads at Albert College and Centen-

Mills says there’s nothing else like it. “It’s a chance to put together some of the top musicians from many different schools to work together in a collegial atmosphere to create great music. They get to perform challenging music and develop their musical skills.” Members of the Commodores of-

Mills says their experience can really help band members develop their skill level more quickly. “What we’d really like is for this relationship to help develop a new crop of musicians to keep jazz and swing alive in the Quinte area. A lot of great musicians have built a pretty solid tradition around here.”

at the Empire Theatre. The DocFest Organizing Committee is thrilled that Kauflin is adding Belleville to his roster which includes performances at Jazz a Vienne, Montreaux Jazz Festival and honours such as VEER Magazine’s Jazz Artist of the Year. A couple of highlights from the inspiring documentaries that will be screened at the Belleville Public Library are: Finding Vivian Maier, a 2015 Academy Award Nominee, presents an intriguing story tracing the life of the late Vivian Maier, a career nanny whose previously undiscovered cache of 100,000 photographs has earned her a posthumous reputation as one of America’s most accomplished and insightful photographers. Crawford: Family of Champions, directed by local filmmaker Aaron Bell, tells the story of Floyd Crawford who moved to Belleville in the 1950s and started a tradition of success that helped shape the future of his new community. Floyd became the captain of the World Hockey Champion Belleville McFarlands. Festival Passes for the Opening Gala are available through the Empire Theatre box office, at <theempiretheatre. com/box-office/> or by phone at 613969-0099. Tickets are also available at a number of outlets in Belleville including: Quinte Arts Council - 36 Bridge Street East, Sweet Escape Dessert and Coffee Lounge - 194 Front Street, Barratt’s Office Pro - 314 Front Street (cheque or cash only).

Big Kenny and John Rich are more than just the creators of the 2004 party anthem Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy), although they are certainly that but they bring with them plenty of songwriting cred with their work with performers like Martina McBride, Gretchen Wilson, Jason Aldean, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw along with their own five-album catalogue and explosive concert sound that will have the Jamboree grounds jumping.

The duo and Cowboy Troy will hit the stage August 15 along with Canadian stars Gord Bamford and Corb Lund; the multiaward winning Lund, seven times roots artist or group of the year at the CCMAs, recently signed on for a return to the Jamboree and will be part of a Saturday program that includes The Good Brothers and American rock legend John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band.

Events - The Belleville Public Library is proud once again to be a primary DocFest partner and one of four screening locations for Belleville Downtown DocFest’s fourth annual International Documentary Film Festival. DocFest runs from Friday, February 27, to Sunday, March 1. Screenings will be at the Empire Theatre, the CORE Centre, Pinnacle Playhouse and at the library. The festival will feature over 50 outstanding films celebrating life and human dignity around the world and right here at home, including 15 locally produced documentaries. The tremendously popular DocFest Opening Gala at The Empire Theatre is on Friday, February 27, at 7 p.m. and launches with the documentary, Keep On Keepin’ On. The film recently won the Cinema Eye Honors Audience Choice Award. Shot over the course of five years by filmmaker Alan Hicks, the film depicts the remarkable story of now 94-year-old jazz legend Clark Terry and pianist Justin Kauflin. Terry was a mentor to Miles Davis and played in both Count Basie’s and Duke Ellington’s bands. Keep On Keepin’ On highlights Terry’s friendship with the preternaturally gifted Justin Kauflin, a blind, 28-year-old piano prodigy. Quincy Jones, who also counts Clark Terry as his mentor, came on board as producer of the film after discovering Kauflin’s talent by chance during a visit at Terry’s home. Jones’ career spans six decades in the entertainment industry and he holds a record 79 Grammy Award nominations. Kauflin is taking the jazz world by storm and his first performance on Canadian soil will follow the Gala screening of this breakout documentary

Multi-award winning Canadian performer Corb Lund will be part of the 26th annual Havelock Country Jamboree.

TRAVEL

Peru’s awesome floating reed islands on Lake Titicaca ongoing thing, and eventually the islands are simply replaced by the building of a new reed island. I met Walter, the leader of one of the smaller islands, home to five families, and he explained the island-building process very well, using a model for demonstration purposes. I learned that such an island takes about a year to build, but this timeline can certainly vary because of the size of the island being created (depending on the number of people living there). The islands are anchored by ropes attached to stakes that are driven into the bottom of the shallow bay, for these reed islands are protected within the Bay of Puno. I also learned that such an island may last about 30 years, if properly maintained. As I walked around one of these fascinating reed islands, I could feel my feet sinking, at times, for the reeds are very soft and “squishy.” It’s a rather bizarre experience, and I wondered if I might just simply disappear right into the reeds and end up in the lake. This sensation certainly helped me to understand the importance of regularly adding new reed layers. These island dwellers live in houses built of reeds, too, and I was able to check out the interiors of some of these for myself. Cooking takes place outside, on a layer of stones, to

even took a turn at paddling. Another of my favourite experiences while visiting these floating reed islands was simply watching the local school children waiting for their “school bus.” It’s, of course, actually a boat, and it was very interesting to simply witness the youngsters boarding the boat for a ride

How a trip to the Dentist could mean a better night’s sleep: Part One protect the reeds. While visiting another one of these islands, I found a store (made of reeds), where some supplies could be purchased, and I also found some small dwellings that were being used for overnight accommodations for tourists at a cost of less than $10. However, tourists won’t find a lot of “modern conveniences” in these abodes, and they’ll probably have to go by boat to another nearby island to find a tiny “outhouse island” where the ground root absorbs the waste. Also, there’s the cold, the wind, and the sun to deal with, and that’s why most locals still dress in traditional clothing, in layers. Many of the women still dress in full skirts, woolly tops, and wear a distinctive derby-style hat, after all, the sun can burn fiercely at this altitude, and it can get rather chilly at night. Most of the women are expert knit-

ters, and the majority of the men are both fishermen and weavers. They sell their crafts/creations to the visiting tourists now (via bartering), and they sell their fish on the mainland. The increasing tourism has certainly benefited the Uros in a financial way, but it has also made it more difficult to maintain their traditions. I found, for example, that some of these islands now have solar panels, to run televisions, etc., and some of their reed boats, which are built by the men, now have motors. I was told that a basic reed boat takes about eight months to build, and about 4,000 empty plastic bottles are used to help with the floatation. However, many of the larger, fancier boats would take even longer to complete. While visiting these reed islands, I was able to actually board one of these man-made boats, and I

Dr. Brian Ho According to recent studies, approximately 20% of North Americans suffer from a sleep problem. Problems with sleep affect both men and women of every race, age, and socioeconomic class. Although lack of sleep appears to be a benign problem, its effects are far reaching. One of the major causes of sleep deprivation is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is a complete cessation of breathing during sleep for at least 10 seconds. It affects men more than women and particularly individuals between the ages of 40 to 60. If OSA is left untreated, it can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, arrhythmias, as well as sleep-deprived motor vehicle accidents.

Family history Male gender Alcohol use Smoking High blood pressure Asthma

You might be asking yourself, “So how does my dentist come into play with obstructive sleep apnea?” Well, aside from the above mentioned symptoms of OSA, there are several oral manifestations of obstructive sleep apnea that can be seen by your dentist that may help in the detection of OSA. These symptoms include: • Enlarged scalloped tongue • Pain on palpation of the jaw joints • Jaw joint sounds when opening or closing the mouth • Crowding of teeth • Wear patterns on teeth

Because of the widespread prevalence of OSA and the fact that it remains largely undiagnosed in the general population, it is increasingly important that you are screened by your dentist or family doctor so that the treatment process can The symptoms of obstructive begin in a timely manner.

Lifestyles - A visit to Peru, for almost anyone, will include a trip to Machu Picchu, the country’s most popular tourist attraction and, indeed, it’s definitely “a must.” After all, it’s one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. However, another Peru “must see,” in my opinion, is Lake Titicaca, which is located high up in the Andes, on the border of Peru and Bolivia. By volume of water, Lake Titicaca is the largest lake in all of South America, and it’s considered to be the highest navigable lake in the world, at an elevation of more than 12,000 feet (almost 4,000 metres). I began my visit to Lake Titicaca at the city of Puno, which is located in southeastern Peru, right on the shore of the lake, and surrounded by the nearby mountains. A boat trip from Puno soon took me to the nearby and fascinating floating reed islands of the Uros Indians. This group of islands is home to the pre-Incan Uros, and they have built these islands, and re-built them, and lived on them for many generations. The islands are made out of totora reeds that grow in this area, and their dense roots support the top layer of these man-made islands. The reeds will rot, of course, so it’s important to regularly stack new reeds on top of the layers that lie beneath. Therefore, the building of these islands is an
