Consultant recommends new bridge be built at Second and Alma News – Campbellford – IBI Group has recommended that a new bridge be built over the Trent River at Second and Alma streets – the same recommendation another consulting ďŹ rm made ďŹ ve years ago. “This has been a very difďŹ cult assignment,â€? project manager Don Drackley told the committee overseeing the process to determine where another river crossing should be built.

The other option is to construct a twin bridge beside the one in the downtown. “There are ways to make trafďŹ c work reasonably well in both alternatives but we’re talking more than just the movement of trafďŹ c,â€? Drackley told the committee February 7.

He and his team of engineers and planners concluded the Second Street bridge proposal was better than a twinned bridge in most respects when evaluated according to six criteria – transportation, impacts on the economic, social, cultural and natural environments, and the overall cost.

But “the thing that bothers us the mostâ€? is the lack of redundancy that comes with putting another bridge at the IBI Group project manager Don Drackley said completing the environmental assessment on two options for another river crossing in Campbellford proved to be “a same location, and continuing to funnel trafďŹ c that’s growing at the rate of one very difficult assignment.â€?

Trent Hills joins opposition Consultant recommends to ‘requalification’ of building officials Continued from page 1

By John Campbell

News – Trent Hills – Requiring building officials to “requalify” by writing exams whenever the Ontario Building Code (OBC) is changed will cause municipalities “financial hardships,” and delay building permits and inspections, says Lambton County.

And Trent Hills council agrees. Last week it supported a resolution by Lambton opposing a provincial regulation that would force “already qualified officials to requalify” by passing “knowledge and maintenance examinations.”

The proposed amendment to the OBC “will provide undue hardship to municipalities through lost productivity, early retirement and costs associated with the 13 categories of examinations required by fully qualified inspectors.”

Trent Hills Chief Administrative Officer Mike Rutter told council this year’s draft budget includes $10,000 to requalify the municipality’s building officials.

The total bill for all municipalities in the province to retrain their employees could run “in the millions of dollars,” director of planning Jim Peters said.

“It’s overkill,” Rutter said.

“The legislated impacts just keep coming,” Mayor Hector Macmillan lamented.

Lambton County acknowledged municipal building officials “need to stay current” with in the Building Code” but said proviMY changes NISSAN MY NISSAN sions should be made for them to receive training rather than have them write exams. It asked that the officials be treated the same as plumbers, electricians, professional engineers and architects

lion for a twinned bridge – and in both cases, the project would be done in two stages; a new bridge would go up within 10 years and the existing structure would remain in use until it needed to be replaced, about 30 years from now.

Alan Appleby, a committee member who represents the Second Street Ratepayers Association that’s opposed to a bridge being built in their neighbourhood, asked how IBI could make “a 180-degree flip” in its recommendation, when it indicated to the committee last June a twinned bridge was a better option.

To have his team “say at one point here’s the way it looks and a few months later saying, ‘Oops, it’s exactly the opposite,’ that’s scary,” Appleby said.

It shouldn’t be, Drackley said, “because it happens all the time, it’s the difference between an incomplete process and a complete process.” The report he gave last year was based on “work in progress,” he explained, and that work has now been completed.

Trent Hills council approved the Second Street option back in 2009, to divert half of the traffic

and be exempted from requalification.

The new building code came into effect this year.

“It’s not really clear the way it’s written,” Trent Hills chief building official Dave Rogers said. “It says we have to requalify but it hasn’t said how we have to requalify.”

It could mean “a lot of exams, a lot of money.” Or, alternatively, it could be just a “makeup exam on the changes,” Rogers said. “ I just don’t know.”

“It says we have to requalify but it hasn’t said how we have to requalify.”

from the town’s main bridge as well as prepare for its eventual replacement, but Northumberland County balked. It retained Genivar, which confirmed it would be feasible to build a modified three-lane bridge at the current location.

IBI was hired last year to look at both options and complete the environmental assessment (EA) left unfinished from 2009.

The firm will present its evaluations and conclusions at a public information centre scheduled for March 25 at the Campbellford Legion. People will be able to respond then and for a short period of time after that before the consultant submits the EA report to the committee, which in turn will make a recommendation to the county.

Noting that trucks passing through town will be among the vehicles that will use a Second Street bridge, Appleby said: “If what’s really needed is a bypass, then build a bypass bridge outside town.”

Brenda Kotras, another association member, offered the same view. The video simulations of future traffic flows IBI pro-

A building official since 1998, he took nine courses and wrote nine examinations after the OBC was updated the last time, in 2006. It took him more than a year to earn all the qualifications.

To do the same again this time would take him out of the office 54 days, he said.

And there’s one other building official in his department that also would be required to do the same thing, if Lambton County and the Southwestern Chapter of the Ontario Building Officials Association are correct in their interpretation of the regulation.

The county and association said they would like to work with the province in developing a Continued from page 1 training initiative that takes into account their gone up 5.70 per cent to $178,964.

unfortunately we’ve got policing increases and everything else; we’re kind of caught between a rock and a hard place.”

“As much as I like to have money in reserve I think this particular year when people are dealing with their assessment increases and are going to do that for the next four years, the 1.24 per cent increase is the one that I would support,” said Councillor Mary Hay.

vided “convinced me we really need a bypass bridge,” she said.

“I don’t think there’s really any great solution when you look at both bridges so close (400 metres apart).”

She was one of nine members of the audience who asked questions and offered comments on the IBI evaluation.

“In the end if you don’t believe in redundancy you’re not going to go for this project,” Trent Hills Councillor Kim MacNeil said.

“If you do believe in redundancy, you have to go for this project.”

Mayor Hector Macmillan said ensuring safe and swift passage across the river for firefighters and other emergency responders is his principal concern.

Former council member Dean Peters said the committee is “not being fair to the process of looking into the future” if it doesn’t visualize what other modes of transportation could exist 50 years from now, as a result of climate change and legislation passed by governments.

How people “are going to be moving about in the community (then) ... must be part of the conversation,” he said.

NOTICE OF PROJECT INITIATION MUNICIPALITY OF TRENT HILLS Schedule ‘B’ Class Environmental Assessment

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

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

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

The Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, February 13, 2014 3

Group will help Nourish Havelock community garden plan News – Havelock-BelmontMethuen – A working group that includes municipal staff will help Nourish Havelock pursue its community garden project. The Nourish Havelock committee has identified a vacant space on the west edge of the medical centre property behind the rear parking lot as its preferred site for a community garden with 20 self-contained raised beds and accessible pathways through the site.

The committee outlined some of its goals to council and is happy to be part of a municipal working group that would address issues like supplying water to the site and providing township equipment to haul some material to the garden.

The working group would also look at possible alternative locations although Nourish Havelock feels the medical centre location is the best site in terms of aims and logistics.

“We’d appreciate that, it would allow us to work more closely with staff to get the process in place,” Nourish Havelock chair Les Morris told council. “It would be fabulous if you could do that.”

Chief Administrative Officer Linda Reed and staff will also prepare an information report for council on things like cost to the township for providing equipment time, water supply and liability agreements.

“There are issues that should

be addressed and council will want to look at these,” Reed said.

“I think we need to have some controls on it and we’ll come up with something between council, staff and the committee,” said deputy mayor Andy Sharpe who is also a member of Nourish Havelock.

“We’re confident we can put together an agreement with terms of reference that will absolve the municipality of liability,” said Morris.

He also said they’re “quite confident they won’t have to ask council for any money.”

The group has secured funding to “build and supply the materials to the garden to meet the standards of accessibility.”

“We’re not asking council for money just for support for the use of some of your equipment,” said Morris. “The water supply is key for the garden.”

The group’s initial thought was to use the former tennis court but when council decided to refurbish the court Nourish Havelock looked next door to the medical centre.

“This seemed central and people can get to it,” Morris explained. “Some of the others were quite suitable but too far away. Part of this is aimed at people who need the help and they might not have transportation.”

Councillor Barry Pomeroy is concerned about parking and doesn’t want to see medical

centre staff and clients displaced by gardeners’ cars.

“We don’t think it will affect parking at all,” said Morris.

He said there will be 20 raised gardens with four or five tended by committee members with 15 individuals or families looking after the remaining beds.

“This is fairly small. I can’t imagine that

15 would come at the same time.”

Morris also said they will not interfere with the provincially significant wetland at the boundary of the property.

“I can’t see anything here that can’t be worked around,” council-

lor Larry Ellis said. “As far as parking, I can’t see that as an issue.”

Ellis asked how the committee was going to allot garden blocks.

“We have a lot of people interested,” Morris said. “We haven’t made a decision. We hope to allot

gardens to people who need it the most. I hesitate to detail that. We’re going to be pretty careful about that.

The whole project is aimed at a segment of the community we hope will benefit most.”

Mayor likes community garden concept

By Bill Freeman

News – Havelock-BelmontMethuen – Mayor Ron Gerow says there is a “lot of interest from all corners of the township” in the Nourish Havelock community garden and he wants to see it flourish in the municipality.

“Community gardens are certainly a thing that are catching on and there seems to be a genuine interest here,” Gerow told Nourish Havelock, committee members who addressed council about their plan for a garden behind the medical centre.

“We all want this to be a positive experience that we can all look on as something good for HBM,” he said. “There are going to be some challenges and I think we have to work through those.”

While the committee is not asking for money from council it has asked the municipality to provide haulage of material to the community garden.

“Council has set aside some money for projects like this and I’d be in favour of looking at what those costs would be,” mayor Gerow said.

“We want to find a way to make something happen here.”

The mayor also encouraged the committee to continue to look at possible alternative sites.

“Not to take the focus off (the medical centre) site,” Gerow stressed. “I totally understand the need to get on with this.”

Nourish Havelock committee chair Les Morris said timing is important in council’s decision-

February 17th is Family Day! I hope you and your family have the opportunity to enjoy the many great attractions and activities that Northumberland County & Quinte West have to offer

making and would not like to see things delayed too long.

Councillor Barry Pomeroy had suggested waiting until spring so council could look at the site when the snow recedes.

Morris said the medical centre site remains their preference after reviewing other candidate locations.

“If you turn us down on this (site) it’s possible the project would fail,” he said candidly.

“This is the plan. If you turn us down then I guess we’d have to look at other sites but starting the entire process again. To start over at May 1, I don’t think we could do it. (It) would be very difficult for us if you put it off until the snow is gone.”

“It’s going to be fantastic for the community” of the Lions splashpad committee. Local fund raising is inching toward the $100,000 mark and well within sight of the $150,000 goal.

The overall campaign target is $300,000.

The club has also applied for a Trillium Foundation support as well as to other smaller granting programs.

Low is pleasantly surprised at how well the campaign has gone.

“It’s really growing momentum in the township. Talking to people in my neighbourhood with pre-teen children and they think this is just fantastic. They enjoy the park as it is but this feature is just going to set the whole thing off.”

It’s important to get input from young people, he said.

“We as adults have a concept of what we would like. We want the new generation to tell us what they’d like to see in this.”

The splashpad will be a draw for everyone, Low says, including seniors who can sit down and watch their grandchildren play while enjoying concerts in the park.

“There’s good stuff coming out of this.”

“It’s gone remarkably well,” says Lion Ralph Bray. “People really do want the splashpad; they have been extremely generous.”

“This area right here is a real place for families and that’s really what we want to encourage, for families who live here to use it and also for families who come here to

visit. It fits in well with the new playground and ball diamond.”

Bray says the committee visited several splashpads in eastern Ontario.

“They are very well used.

Recreation staff are amazed what they did for their parks.”

One of the stainless steel facility’s “unique features” is the fact that it’s a recirculating splashpad, said Goodyer. The water is stored, purified and recirculated throughout the whole

system.

Splashpads are increasingly popular, he agrees, largely because they have “zero depth” and don’t require lifeguards.

Some communities are now building pads overtop of wading pools.

They’re also completely automatic.

“It [runs] during certain windows of the day and it only comes on when someone touches it.”

News - Norwood - Allison Rutherford has seen how popular splashpads are in Peterborough and can’t wait to take her kids to the one that is going to be built at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre.

“It’s going to be fantastic for the community and certainly bring some tourists to our area,” Rutherford said during a special open house hosted by the Norwood Lions Club and the municipality. The Lions are spearheading the fund-raising campaign and will oversee its construction before handing it over to the municipality.

ABC Recreation of Paris, Ontario, has been hired to install the 2,575-square-foot, $210,967 Vortex splashpad.

The evening open house invited youth to view large drawings of the proposed splashpad and identify features they’d like to see; ABC sales representative Shaun Goodyer was on hand to talk about the facility and showed videos of a similar splashpad.

Rutherford has no doubt families and visitors will flock to the community centre to splash around. She’s seen it happen at the Riverview Zoo in Peterborough and at the new splashpad at Nichol’s Oval.

“They’re very popular for daycares, younger people and even us older people,” she said.

“It’s something for the whole community; it rounds the community centre off perfectly,” added Terry Low, a member

News - Norwood - A splash pad facility in Asphodel-Norwood will help both economic and community development, says Mayor Doug Pearcy.

“We need all the assets we can to attract young families because that’s our hope for the future,” Pearcy said during a special splash pad open house at the community centre where the 2,575-squarefoot water facility will be built.

“We have all these recreational opportunities at one site [and] we have excellent schools here; it becomes an attractive place to raise families,” he said.

“It doesn’t matter how old you are … if you have real estate you might want to sell it one day and it’s nice to have buyers out there. That’s exactly what we’re trying to do, create a stronger real estate market.”

“If we can increase our population base it will support our businesses and everything else,” said Pearcy, “and it’s important for the kids that they have facilities that they can enjoy.”

Mayor Pearcy is also a long-time member of the Norwood Lions Club Shaun Goodyer, a sales representative for ABC Recreation of Paris, Ontario, talks to members of the Norwood Lions Club about which is spearheading the splash pad the Vortex Splashpad they will build at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Hydro, propane, oil; Corruption and the economy it’s all about the BTUs Dear Editor: Recently there have been letters to the editor in some of the local papers complaining about fuel prices, and in particular the cost of propane. The answer is not as simple as some might suspect. True, the hard winter has placed some fuel sources in short supply, and this has caused some minor fluctuations in prices. The real answer is that we do not purchase propane, heating oil, or electricity. These are only the packaging of what we are really buying, and that is energy in the form of British Thermal Units (BTU). A recent comment by the financial editor of one of Canada’s major TV networks confirmed that it is indeed BTU that are traded on the markets.

For some years now, friends and neighbors have asked me if it would be worth while changing their fuel source, and every time I do the math, the cost for an hour’s worth of BTU comes out

Dear Editor, One of the best articles I have read on corruption and poverty is “Flipping the corruption myth” by Dr. Jason Hickel of the London School of Economics.

The World Bank blames bribery and theft by government officials for between $20 billion and $40 billion stolen each year from the people of the developing countries. Dr. Hickel compares this three per cent of the total illicit flows from public coffers, with the $9 hundred billion which multi-national companies steal through tax evasion, transfer pricing etc.

“This enormous flow of wealth is facilitated by a shadowy financial system that includes tax havens, paper companies, anonymous accounts and fake foundations, with the city of London (UK) at the very heart of it. Over 30 per cent of global foreign direct investment is booked through tax havens, which now collectively hide one sixth of

the same for any of the energy sources, give or take a few cents. In other words, the capital cost of changing a furnace would never see a cost benefit unless the change involved an older, less efficient furnace. Minor price variations between the energy sources do average out over time, so a change to another source is hard to justify.

Now let’s look at what’s happening with Hydro rates. As Hydro costs rise to ridiculous heights because of the Ontario Liberals’ Ill-conceived energy policies, the price of energy (BTU) for other products will follow suit. Certainly it is true that annual inflation will also drag costs higher each year, but the Hydro increases are well above the normal rate of inflation, and this will result in the other energy suppliers boosting their rates to keep all energy sources at a fixed price for those BTU. Bob Johnson, Stirling Dear Editor, I am over 80 and in order to get my driver’s licence, I am forced to attend a three and a half hour meeting consisting of an eye test, a written test and a long lecture which takes up most of the meeting. For this privilege I am charged $32 above the regular cost of my driver’s licence.

The lecture consists of being told we are getting old and need to be more careful

the petty dictatorship or the superpower that installs it? At the lower level of corruption those officials taking the bribes have to have someone with money and clout giving it to them. When the grease does rise to the surface, as in SNC Lavalin, JP Morgan and the rest, fines may be paid but no one goes to jail. The CEO of JP Morgan gets a multimillion dollar bonus after the company paid $20 billion dollars in fines!

Eighty-five individuals now own as much wealth as 50 per cent of the world’s population.

Yet poor school children in Utah, Massachusetts, Indiana, Maine and Kentucky had their school lunches taken from them and thrown into the dumpster for being in arrears on meal payments. We sure do know how who to punish, don’t we.

and observant. Anyone over 80 knows that they have to be more careful and observant in order to avoid injury and live longer.

I agree with the eye test and the written test but I think the lecture should consist of instruction on how to complete the written test and nothing more. It takes enough time to give the eye test and mark the written test and anything that would shorten the meeting would be a good

Dear Editor, Once again, the Municipality of Centre Hastings is holding public meetings on the 2014 budget process. At these meetings, Mayor Ketcheson has mentioned several times that he would like to see program budgets come at a zero percent increase. I sat through several of these budget meetings, listening to council shave off $1000 from here and $500 from there in an attempt to meet the mayor’s budget request.

Council’s attempt to hold the line on budgets is all in vain if staff continue to manipulate the procurement policy and the tendering process. Specifically, in September of 2013 our Public Works Superintendent, Roger Taylor, placed a tender call for a winter service maintenance contract for the Village of Madoc.

Mr. Taylor bundled several items into Robert G. Foxton the tender, for example, winter sand Madoc supply (2,500 tonnes Ivanhoe sand dome

When you reach 80, time becomes very valuable and should not be wasted on useless lectures. I would appreciate hearing opinions of other people who have to attend a meeting this year or have attended previous meeting as I have.

Stephen Harper We sure aren’t saving any a disgrace to money on sand this year ancestors?

you have monopoly unions.

We saw what life is like without Hydro but that should not mean we have to be held up for ransom. But I wish mayors would worry about the obscene property tax too. Like my property tax is double my Hydro bill and more every year Henry Kahrs, Campbellford Dear Editor My Grandfather served in the First World War. Three of my father’s brothers served in the Second World War. My father was injured as a child and was not able to serve.

All these men were loyal Conservatives.

They belonged to the Anglican Church and were loyal, patriotic Canadians. They were tried and true Progressive Conservatives, not the Reform Party hacks that run this country today.

My ancestors did not serve this country to have it sold out to Israel by some deceitful, betraying elected representative that everyone calls a Prime Minister. This time Stephen Harper crossed the line, forcing everyone who votes Conservative to be either a Zionist or a liar. Some choice!

Dear Editor, Every week I can see in the local papers our mayors and council are upset about ever higher Hydro rates. Well I can say, so am I. The reason nobody wants to talk about it, well, it’s very simple. Employees of Hydro are on the sunshine list by the thousands but so are firemen, police and a lot of government employees. That is the trouble when

the world’s total private wealth.”

With all the government spying going on, you may think governments would know who to charge over these lost billions.

One of the eye-openers for me was the following; “London has maintained a number of quaint plutocratic traditions. Take its electoral process, more than seventy percent of the votes cast during council elections are by corporations – mostly banks and financial firms. The bigger the corporation, the more votes they get, with the biggest firms getting 79 votes each. This takes the US-style corporate personhood to another level.”

He continues by pointing out that many of history’s most famous dictators Pinochet, Mobuto, Mubarak (now Sisi), Suharto, Marcus, etc., were supported by a steady flow of western aid. This raises an interesting question; which is more corrupt,

and 1,500 tonnes in the Madoc contractor supplied storage facility). The sand storage facility for the village of Madoc had to also supply a loader on standby.

In 2013, the municipality built a salt storage unit adjacent to the sand dome located in Ivanhoe with the expectation of saving money and allowing the stockpile of salt. Which only begs the question of why the need to rent a dome and loader at considerable cost to the municipality. In actuality, the municipality now rents a loader at a standby rate of a $1000 per month and $1000 a month for the storage facility.

The winter sand supply is another issue. The successful contractor charges $9.50 a tonne for supplying winter sand at Ivanhoe dome and 8.50 tonne at the Madoc facility. In open council, the superintendent indicated that there were two contractors who bid on the tender and the superintendent recommended a certain contractor. Council failed to ask for a comparison in price of the two bids, no paper work was provided to council and on the advisement, there was no date or time provided for a public opening of the tenders. This is completely contrary to a transparent public practice.

I discovered that the unsuccessful contractor’s bid for winter sand was $7.55 a tonne for both locations. For sand alone, this would have been a total saving of $5,200 for the first fill. If council would have accepted the lowest tender on the winter sand and used our own facilities, the municipality would have saved $16,200 without considering the additional savings on refills.

Connected to your community OPINION The magnificent John Kerry Editorial – John Kerry has been US Secretary of State for precisely one year, and he has already 1) rescued President Obama from his ill-considered promise to bomb Syria if it crossed the “red line” and used poison gas; 2) opened serious negotiations with Iran on its alleged attempt to build nuclear weapons; and 3) taken on the job of brokering an Israeli-Palestinian peace accord.

Getting Obama off the hook was useful, and may yet lead to the US ending its support for the insurgency in Syria, which at this point would probably be the least bad outcome. Opening negoGwynne Dyer tiations with Iran was long overdue, and makes the nightmare prospect of an American or a joint US-Israeli air attack on Iran daily less likely. But even King Solomon and Avicenna (Ibn Sina), sitting jointly in judgment on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, could not broker a peace accord there.

Kerry is indefatigable. He has been to Israel/Palestine eleven times in the past year, and spent as much as a hundred hours face to face with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas or their close advisers. Unlike all the previous “brokers”, he has been astoundingly discreet: not a hint of what has been said in private has leaked into the public domain. And yet there is almost no hope of a real peace deal.

If persistence in the face of all the odds were enough, Kerry would be the man who finally made it happen. (Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon recently complained that his approach is “obsessive and messianic.”) But Kerry has no leverage: he has to rely on the desire of the two leaders to make the “peace process” work, and it just isn’t there; not, at least, on any terms that both would find acceptable.

The list of deal-breakers includes almost every topic under discussion: the borders of a Palestinian state, the future of the Jewish settlements in the occupied territories, whether Jerusalem can be the joint capital of Israel and Palestine, whether Israel can maintain a military presence in the Jordan Valley, the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their ancestral homes, and Israel’s demand that the Palestinians recognize it

as an explicitly Jewish state.

This last demand, which was only raised in the past couple of years, seems deliberately designed to be unacceptable to the Palestinians. Not only are they required to acknowledge the legitimacy of the Israeli state (which they have already done), but also to give their blessing to the ethnic and religious character of that state.

It is not normal in diplomacy for one state to comment upon the internal arrangements of another, let alone to give them its public support. Even the United States, Israel’s closest ally and supporter, does not officially recognize it as a “Jewish state.” The Israeli demand is an attempt to rub the Palestinians’ noses in their defeat, and why would you set out to do that if you really wanted a deal?

The Palestinian insistence on a “right of return,” however rooted in natural justice, is equally self-defeating in practice.

Everybody knows that a peace deal must mean compensation for the refugees of 1948 and their descendants, not a general right of return to what is now Israel, for that really would mean the end of the “Jewish state.” But no Palestinian leader has ever dared to say so out loud.

So why, then, has John Kerry embarked on his quixotic mission to make the “peace process” work? It has been effectively dead for at least a dozen years, although it remains unburied because the pretense that it is still alive allows everybody to avoid hard decisions. But Kerry, with his nine-month deadline to achieve a comprehensive “final-status agreement” (which expires in April), is taking it seriously.

His own explanation is lyrical but opaque: “I believe that history is not made by cynics. It is made by realists who are not afraid to dream.” But the business about “making history” – that, perhaps, is sincere. Kerry has had a long and interesting career as a senator, and even took a shot at the presidency, but this is probably his last big job, and he wants to make his mark.

The French general Pierre Bosquet, watching the suicidal charge of the British Light Brigade in the Crimean War in 1854, said: “It is magnificent, but it is not war. It’s madness.”

Kerry’s foredoomed quest for a final peace settlement between Israel and the Palestinians is magnificent too, in its own peculiar way, but it’s not diplomacy. It’s hubris.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Hydro’s smart meters are anything but Dear Editor, NOW you’re going to get it Beav!, er Hydro. You have managed to infuriate your mother! At church last Sunday, the church ladies were livid with the consternation you Hydro folks have caused them with your recent outrageous billings.

“Why it was double what I paid for the same month last year!” one irate church lady cried.

“Sometimes they don’t bill you at all - then suddenly you get a huge catch-up billing” said another.

“How can ‘delivery’ exceed power consumption?” said a third lady.

“I just got on to utilizing “Off-Peak” electricity and they changed the rules and bumped the price up!” said another visibly upset church lady.

Wyley’s been down this road before. There’s over 11,000 people at Ontario Hydro making over $100,000 per year.

How did they get so rich? Same way as all public service: powerful unions, incestuous and incompetent labour negotiators, a culture encouraging make-work without regard to effort and initiative, early retirement and ludicrously-rich pensions. And worst of all, a bunch of fat cats at the top whose biggest contribution is to come up with more ways to screw their customers.

For example: Smart Meters. I submit that they should be called Liar Meters. What if they were purposely built to magnify your hydro consumption? Sort of like the auto manufacturers who built their odometers to over-read mileage to the detriment of warranty claims. (And falsely inflate gas mileage too!). Maybe not all the Liar Meters, just enough to help meet the Sunshine payroll.

Remember the guys who dreamed up the special billing to make up for the delay in billing you? What if they also figured out that skipping a few billing cycles on the old Liar Meter would get you to a massive catch-up billing, and every kWh over 3,000 loses you out on special discounts for delivery and the Ontario Clean Energy 10 per cent benefit program? Do you think they would be that devious? Well the Senior V/P of “People, Culture and Chief Ethics Officer” does require $467,208 per year, (in 2012), and it has to come from somewhere. Just saying.

You get a bunch of little old ladies down in the church basement all riled up about Liar Meters and “COME THE REVOLUTION” may be imported to Ontario sooner than you can say Sunshine List.

Shhh, we don’t want to know just yet

By Terry Bush Editorial - As I sit here trying to fill this space each week, there is usually somewhere else I’d rather be. This week, like many other folks, my preferred location would be smack dab in front of my television set. After all, how often do you get to watch our country’s finest athletes participate in the Olympics?

The only problem this time round is that most of us know who won what ... before we get a chance to see it for ourselves. It’s kind of like finding out how the movie ends from some weenie walking out of the theatre while you’re walking in.

But then again, unless you live in a cave without Internet access, it’s become pretty hard not to know what’s going on almost every minute of every day in this age of information. And when a lot of the action has taken place before you’ve even had your first sip of coffee in the morning, there really isn’t much hope. Turn on the radio on the way to work and you’ll hear who won gold while you were sleeping. Get to work, and someone will yell out, “We won another gold and a silver.”

If you happen to have read a certain French publication, you’ve already got a pretty good idea who might win the ice dancing competition. To some it might sound like a bit of a conspiracy theory but when someone says the Americans and Russians have a deal in place to try to block the Canadians from gold, one might actually believe it.

It’s not like a bit of collusion hasn’t taken place between countries in the past.

Many of us who have played competitive sports put the judged sports a little farther down the list compared to the others. While they’re certainly entertaining, we’d much prefer to watch head to head racing or spend our time watching a sport that has a clear winner ... first across the line, fastest time, longest jump, that kind of sport.

While the athleticism of sports such as figure skating and freestyle skiing may be a joy to watch, the results can sometimes be a little baffling especially when a competitor who falls places higher than someone who didn’t. In the back of my mind I wonder how many people still think Elizabeth Manley should have won gold instead of Katarina Witt at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Calgary.

You’ve got to love watching both men’s and women’s short track speed skating, the NASCAR of the skating world, for its speed and crashes. Ski jumping is as close to flying as a person can get without a parachute. And from the talk around the office, the men’s hockey championship is the event we’re all waiting for yet again. Not to slight the women’s event but all things considered, hockey isn’t hockey unless someone is decked by a good clean bodycheck once in awhile and who can deny that most of the excitement is in the playoff rounds.

Does anyone really think the Canadian women’s team won’t be playing the Americans in the final? It will be a great game of course, and we’ll cheer the women on and be proud as can be if they win gold but women’s hockey really isn’t at the point yet where we’d consider winning silver a good thing. It’s gold or nothing until the rest of the world catches up to its North American counterparts. Judging from the early games, they’re getting closer but aren’t quite there yet.

While the men’s side will pit millionaire against millionaire, it is of some consolation to the rest of us that the hockey teams will stay in the athlete’s village with our other athletes. Welcome back to the world of Junior hockey and dorm rooms, boys. Never hurts to remember where you came from.

Day four and Canada leads the Olympics’ medal count. And with the prediction that Canada will win a medal every day of these Olympics because of the way events are scheduled, it’s a good time to be Canadian. Not that I have to mention that to anyone who saw sisters Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe on the podium after finishing in the top two spots in women’s moguls. Their faces said it all.

The TV beckons.

Trent Hills Heritage Advisory Committee chair talks about plans for 2014 “The strength of a nation is derived from the integrity of its homes.� – Confucius

By Sue Dickens

News – Trent Hills – Promoting its mandate to identify, preserve, and protect the architectural history of the community that they serve, the Trent Hills Heritage Advisory committee is celebrating Heritage Week, February 17 to 23.

Passionate about their community and the preservation of its historic buildings, the volunteer board is led by longtime board member and chairperson Judy Pearce.

The committee itself is made up of residents of the municipality who are appointed by the local council under the Ontario Heritage Act to advise on the preservation of properties within the municipality that may be of historical or architectural interest. “The thing we’ve been doing the most of is adding properties to the register of heritage properties,� said Pearce, in the comfort of her 160-year-old heritage-designated home in downtown Campbellford. “Quite a few people are applying for heritage awareness plaques,� she noted.

In Trent Hills there are more than 50 such plaques mounted

on historic homes, over and above those designated as heritage properties (cultural heritage value) under the Ontario Heritage Act. The heritage awareness plaque program was launched a couple of years ago and continues to be important to the committee.

The Ontario Heritage Act requires the clerk of every municipality keep a current, publicly accessible listing of properties of cultural heritage value or interest as well as those properties that are designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. “Over the last year we did a little more organized approach to adding properties to the register - parts of the municipality that had been overlooked. There’s a number of them in Seymour East and West,� Pearce explained.

There are now almost 500 heritage properties on the register in Trent Hills. “When added to the register the owners get a letter to let them know they are now eligible for a plaque for their house if they want it,� said Pearce.

This is not to be confused with a heritage designation.

There are about 30 of those here including the Campbellford/Seymour Fire Hall on Saskatoon Avenue (1889) and Fowlds House, 133 Front Street West, Hastings (circa 1851) the Memorial Community Hall, 35 Church Street, Warkworth (circa 1922).

include continuing to work on applications for heritage grants, developing the municipality’s mapping system for its website, installing Heritage Awareness plaques and more. “We’re partnering with other heritage groups to be part of the Northumberland County Doors Open June 7 and 8,� said Pearce.

The board is also hoping to provide a workshop on the preservation/repair/restoration of older buildings. “We are also working with council to provide public access to the Campbellford-Seymour Heritage Society’s model railroad,� she added.

Faced with a municipal election this fall, committee members who want to be on the board will have to reapply. “If people want or are interested in getting involved keep in mind there will be a call for members of the heritage committee,� said Pearce.

She is fueled by her passion to bring an awareness of the historic buildings here. “Someone who hasn’t lived here, they come and see all these beautiful old homes and beautiful old farms, it’s like a walk back in time,� she said. “It’s not that we don’t want the municipality to grow and be modern and up-to-date, it’s just that the heritage resources are so rich here. I feel a commitment we have to help people become more aware and protect them.�

New rules will ensure Canadians have a say on cell towers in their communities says MP Norlock News – Northumberland – “The placement of new cell towers is often a divisive issue in communities across Canada. It is essential that home owners be at the centre of the process to determine the location of a new tower, and it is up to the wireless industry to ensure local voices are heard,� said MP Norlock.

In his press release he noted Canadians deserve to have a say in how new cell tower locations are identified in their communities. Improvements to Industry Canada’s Antenna Tower Siting Policy will ensure that local home owners and municipal governments are at the forefront of the tower placement process. “These new rules will give communities a better say in the placement of new cell towers.�

The improvements will also strengthen federal communications with the public on tower siting procedures, including new online resources on the process, and new reporting mechanisms to track tower issues and report back to communities.

These measures build on your government’s current tower sharing policies that require companies to first look at sharing existing tower infrastructure, whenever they can, to reduce the number of new towers needed in each community.

The changes guiding the installation of new antenna towers will include requirements that companies: consult communities on all commercial tower installations, regardless of height; build any tower within three years of consulting with communities; and ensure home owners are well informed of upcoming consultations.

Over the last 20 years, wireless services have grown into something Canadian consumers rely on daily, he stated in the release. “As a result we are seeing an increasing number of new cell towers being constructed in our communities. Their placement is becoming an ever more divisive issue with the rapidly increasing demand for wireless services.�

Canadian consumers expect their government to make decisions that will deliver more choice, lower prices and better services in the wireless sector for all Canadians.

The Government of Canada will continue to work with the wireless sector in the weeks ahead on ways to more effectively balance the concerns of local communities.

Quick facts Under the existing cell tower siting policy, a company is only required to consult the community when it plans to build an antenna tower taller than 15 metres.

Before any company can build a new cell tower, it is required to look at alternatives like whether there is an existing tower in the same area that it can share. All antenna towers, no matter the height, location or power, have to satisfy Industry Canada’s technical requirements and comply with Health Canada’s rules to ensure the safety of Canadians.

By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - Asphodel-Norwood Mayor Doug Pearcy is pleased with the 2014 budget but says he would have liked to have seen a traffic speed clock included in the package.

He estimates the cost at around $2,500.

“It’s just something that I think needs to be dealt with. I think it’s time,” Pearcy said during a special budget meeting last week.

He noted that neighbouring Havelock-Belmont-Methuen and Hastings in Trent Hills have speed signs at entrances to their urban centres. In HBM there are signs at the eastern end of Highway 7 warning drivers as they enter the village of Havelock and one on Concession Street South near Old Norwood Road. In Hastings there is a sign on Albert Street West as drivers enter the 40-kilometres-an-hour school safety zone.

Mayor Pearcy would like to have a mobile speed sign that could be used in various locations in the township.

“I’m not saying leave it there constantly, move it from place to place,” he said.

Township clerk Becky Bonisteel told council that during a recent conversation with Ministry of Transportation officials she was told they would not allow the municipality to install a sign on the MTO’s connecting link, that section of Highway 7 that goes through Norwood.

The MTO’s policy on signage along Highway 7 is no surprise to municipal officials.

“It’s protection for the drivers as well as for our residents. Use it full time,” Councillor Roy Millett said of a speed sign. Millett noted how effective the speed board entering Spring Brook is.

About 1 of every 100 babies born has some form of heart defect, representing 1% of births (Health Canada, 2002). These heart defects range from a tiny hole that will never require treatment, to a life-threatening heart defect in which blood carrying oxygen and nutrients is pumped throughout the body.

In Canada, there are almost 100,000 adults who, as children, had surgery to correct congenital heart defects.

No horsing around for photographer Hospital’s whose solo show has opened at a financial Campbellford restaurant health greatly improved

Entertainment – Campbellford – There’s no horsing around for retired teacher Patricia Calder whose solo show of her photographs was celebrated last evening at Capers Restaurant in Campbellford.

Cancelled once by a winter storm, one of many pummeling the area this winter, the show finally was opened officially for this artist from Colborne, who has 30 photographs on display, all of horses.

“That’s mainly what I do,” she said humbly in an interview with the Trent Hills Independent.

Her humility belies the fact that she is not only an accomplished artist but a writer too, but more on that later.

“I’ve always been a photographer since I was a kid. I had a Brownie camera and my first big camera we purchased when we went to Europe for a year,” she explained.

“I have taken a number of photography courses as well.”

“When I retired I was given a Canon digital SLR and fell in love with horses,” she wrote in one of several websites featuring her artwork (http://www.northumberlandphoto.com/photos/ members-photos/74-patricia-calder) For Calder capturing the image is not only about the moment in time but patience. She drives the Northumberland countryside looking for horses she can photograph.

“I ask permission of the farmer if he or she wants pictures taken of their horses. I don’t charge anything to take them,” she commented.

Calder talked about the process she uses.

“First of all you have to aim for the best light

of the day. Usually I go out late afternoon or patricia-calder-writer.

Calder’s photographs are different sizes ranging in price sometimes early morning depending on when the from $50 to $450. farmer is available,” she explained.

She can be contacted at 905-355-3005 or by emailing “I spend an hour or two in the paddock with the horse and try to get the best light and best patinpei@yahoo.ca.

Her show will continue until March 23. background, something that will make the horse look absolutely fantastic. I have to get comfortable with the horse and the horse has to be comfortable with me,” she added.

She often uses a fast shutter speed of about 600 ASA and a 250 aperture with an f-stop (focal stop) of anywhere from f4 to f11, for those shutterbugs reading this.

Calder also photographs sheep, coats, cows, as well as birds, flowers, landscapes and portraits but her love of horses puts them front and centre in her lens.

“I am a senior citizen with arthritis and all the other things that go along with being a senior and when I spend a day out in the field with the horses I have no pain and come home without any pain . . . horses have healing power,” she noted.

She has created slide shows for horse owners to run when they go to the Royal Winter Fair and photographed the Toronto Police Mounted Unit.

She is a member of the Spirit of the Hills Northumberland Arts Association and her work featuring horses is on ites website (http:// spiritofthehills.org/patricia-calder-photographer/) . At this websie, readers can learn more about her work as a writer.

Born into a prolific family of eight authors, Calder started writing at age 11 in a Hilroy notebook which she carried on field adventures.

News – Campbellford – A year after Campbellford Memorial Hospital was faced with making difficult choices to avoid a huge deficit in the current fiscal year, it now finds itself in a pretty good position.

“We ended up at the end of December with a surplus of $136,000,” CMH president and CEO Brad Hilker told the hospital’s board of directors February 6.

That was “mainly due to an increase in funding of one per cent” from the province, but also as a result of “a lot of hard work by our staff to manage costs,” he said.

The hospital was forecasting a deficit of between $360,000 and $492,000 for 2013-14 a year ago before it began implementing changes to reduce costs and boost revenue.

The turnaround has been “phenomenal, considering what we were thinking about last year...

Congratulations ... well done.”

Nice. “Congratulations ... well done.”

Treasurer Pat Sheridan also praised staff and physicians for what they had accomplished, noting the hospital “still would have been in a surplus position” had it not received the additional funding of $127,700 on an annual basis.

Hilker in his report to the board pointed out the hospital was $11,500 in the red after the first six months of the year.

The hospital has also received about $400,000 from the Small Rural Northern Hospital Transformation Fund, which it is using to undertake a number of projects.

They include developing a master plan and strategic plan for the hospital, educating staff to achieve senior friendly programs and services, implementing a patient follow-up system after a patient has been discharged, and arranging for the services of a chief information officer to be shared with another institution.

There were a few blips in the hospital’s performance during the second quarter. Wait times in the emergency department for patients with minor and uncomplicated health issues were slightly longer than the target of four hours, at 4.17, chief nursing officer Jan Raine reported.

She attributed missing the mark to an increase of more 200 people in July and again in August who went to ER. She said a “big concern” is that the number of alternate level of care patients – patients waiting to be discharged to long-term care facilities – “went way up,” in part, because of difficulties in finding placements for certain patients.

Blues in the Schools fundraiser also a memorial to local musician

Entertainment – Campbellford – Beating the winter blahs and raising money to bring Blues in The Schools (BITS) to Trent Hills is the goal of several local bands/musicians performing at the Aron Theatre on February 22.

“The BITS program was introduced to Trent Hills as a way of honouring the life of Jesse “Peck” Archer, a local musician who would want every child in Trent Hills to be given the chance to make music,” said his mom Jane Archer, whose own group, Balls and Jane, will be one of three performing.

Known as a “Pre-party for Peck”, this is not the first time this fundraiser for BITS has been held here.

The pre-party is a precursor to the Party for Peck which is usually held in August, which began about three years ago when Archer and her son Matt, the technical guru of the family, organized the event as a memorial to Jesse ‘Peck’ Archer, a talented musician who was tragically killed in 2010 at the age of 26.

His brother Mike Archer plays bass in the four-member 24th Street Wailers band, which will also be performing.

The band was recently nominated for the Maple Blues (Canada’s national blues awards program) Electric Act of the Year and Entertainer of the Year 2014 by the Toronto Blues Society.

The 24th Street Wailers latest album “Wicked” was recorded in Texas last November.

Archer’s group Balls and Jane, has been together for about three years and has played some big shows including Wolfstock last summer.

They also opened for April Wine at The Venue in

Peterborough last fall.

Balls and Jane will be performing at The Bridge restaurant in Campbellford on March 21.

Another group Muddy Hack ‘Solo’ will be joining the performers at the BITS fundraiser.

“They are a rock and roll punk band and Mike Wallace, who is the heart of it, will be performing solo acoustic.” Wallace is “a musician from Peterborough who came up through high school in the same time and space as Jessie,” said Archer.

“He has a really great song he will be performing about Jessie,” she added.

Campbellford’s own Ken Tizzard will be the shows’ special guest.

“He’s on tour a lot, really busy touring and playing bass alongside Newfoundland singersongwriter Ron Hynes but he is coming to the fundraiser to do a couple of songs with the 24th Street Wailers,” said Archer.

With expenses “higher this time,” Archer hopes to see the 140-seat Aron Theatre sell out of tickets, which are $30 in advance or $35 at the door. Appetizers will be served courtesy of The Bridge Restaurant.

“It’s sure to be an amazing night of music, all Putting up posters like this one at the Aron Theatre, Matt Archer and his mom Jane Archer, are hoping the Blues in The Schools with ties to our community ... All the money raised (BITS) fundraiser taking place February 22 here in Campbellford will see a sell-out crowd. All the money raised goes toward goes toward Blues in The Schools workshops in BITS workshops in the Trent Hills area. Photo: Sue Dickens the local Trent Hills area,” said Archer.

Tickets can be purchased at The Stinking Rose and The Bridge in Campbellford, Moondance in Peterborough, at the Aron Theatre during business hours or the night of the event.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Showtime is 8 p.m.

Councils want something done about soaring insurance premiums

By John Campbell

News – Trent Hills – If something isn’t done to halt soaring municipal insurance costs, Trent Hills could be forced to hand over the reins to the provincial government.

Mayor Hector Macmillan raised that possibility last week, in asking council to support a private member’s bill by MPP Randy Pettapiece that calls for legislative reform to address “the alarming rise” in insurance premiums due to mounting litigation and claim costs.

“We’ve got a real problem,” Macmillan told council February 4, because “we are down to a last insurance company that’s willing to take us on (as a client)” – and it raised its premium for this year by 51 per cent to $628,405.

“If for some reason our current insurer doesn’t insure us in the future, we’ll have no alternative other than hand the municipality back to the province,” he said. “There is no way we can continue without insurance.”

The resolution put forward by Pettapiece, the Progressive Conservative MPP for Perth-Wellington, is that “the government should protect taxpayers from higher property taxes by implementing a comprehensive, long-term solution to reform joint and several liability insurance for municipalities by no later than June 2014.”

Joint and several liability is “the primary contributor to rising premiums,” he said in a letter that’s gone out to municipalities across the province asking for their support. “Municipalities, often targeted as insurers of last resort, can be on the

Metroland Media Classifieds No Change to downtown collection for Cobourg or Port Hope.

All Landfill & Transfer Stations will be closed on Family Day and will re-open on Tuesday, Feb. 18th.

hook for massive damage awards even if they are deemed just one per cent responsible.”

Pettapiece said 38 American states “have enacted some form of proportionate liability and ... other jurisdictions are also pursuing reform.

“It is unfair and unrealistic for the provincial government to allow this situation to continue – especially as it affects small and rural municipalities, which can least afford to pay.”

Macmillan said he has repeatedly asked the province to do away with or to reform joint and several liability, and been told that “it’s complicated” but being worked on, “blah, blah, blah.”

To force a municipality “to pay much more, even all, of the costs of everyone” sued in a civil lawsuit, because of its “perceived deep pockets,” even though it might be just one per cent at fault, is “ridiculous,” he said.

“It’s been a goldmine for those who abuse the system,” and their lawyers.

Macmillan said the 51 per cent increase in the municipality’s premium was “a real shocker.”

Three insurance companies were invited to bid on the contract but only one did, the company that has provided coverage the past three years.

Last year’s increase was around five per cent but “it wasn’t because of our claims history, it was really because of market conditions,” Chief Administrative Officer Mike Rutter said. “But our situation this one year was really driven by a claim.”

Rutter wouldn’t reveal details about the number of claims currently outstanding against Trent Hills or the amounts sought, but Macmillan said two of them predate his becoming mayor 10 years ago.

Rutter said one potential solution to the problem is to resort to a self-insurance program but “we’re not in a position where we could do that, where we could handle any significant losses ... We just don’t feel it would be wise.”

Trent Hills supported Pettapiece’s resolution, as did Northumberland County a few days earlier, at the urging of Macmillan, who told his county colleagues his municipality was “on the verge of being fired as a client” before a contract was signed.

He said municipalities need to “put the heat on the province to do something about joint and several liability.”

Ombudsman’s Hydro One investigation not about pricing

By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - Two days after Havelock-Belmont-Methuen council spoke about instances of delayed Hydro One billing in the municipality, the province’s Ombudsman, Andre Marin, announced he will conduct a “systemic investigation into complaints about serious problems with billing and customer service at Hydro One.” But Marin made it clear that his investigation “is not about the price of electricity” nor the compensation of Hydro One employees or about municipal utilities.

Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan has very publicly asked the Ombudsman for a “full investigation of Hydro One, their financial practices and make sound recommendations to bring Ontario’s electricity costs back in line with our economic status as I believe we are quickly approaching critical mass.”

During a visit to HBM by Peterborough MPP and Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal, Mayor Ron Gerow raised the issue of Hydro One billing.

“There seems to be a problem, especially on the east side of the county, of people not getting their bills, some for more than a year,” Gerow said. “When they call Hydro they are getting all sorts of answers about things like Smart Meters.”

One local resident, he said, had not received a bill since last January. Gerow says he has asking concerned residents to phone Leal’s constituency office.

Leal acknowledged the problem and noted that his office has fielded many calls from puzzled and worried Hydro One customers.

He called the situation “discouraging” and said they’ve gone as far as talking directly to Hydro One president Carmine Marcello “to get this resolved.”

The more complaints his office can document the stronger their lobbying efforts can be, he said.

Leal agreed that dealing with Hydro One can give a person a headache.

“It’s the only game in town up here,” Councillor Jim Martin said.

“In the past few years we have seen more and more complaints from Hydro One users about bills that seem to have no bearing in reality and about lack of answers they get when they ask why,” Marin said in announcing the investigation.

Complaints to his office about Hydro One have “risen steadily” and more than doubled since 2011-2012 when Marin received 232 complaints; in 2012-2013 there were 328 complaints; between April 2013 and today there have been more than 600 complaints.

Most of those complaints are about bills that are wrong, excessive, duplicated, unreasonably delayed or “estimated” based on unclear criteria.

“Our office has helped many Ontarians resolve problems with their bills but frankly we’ve also experienced stonewalling from Hydro One,” Marin said.

“Our experience reflects what we are hearing from people across the prov-

different “perspective,” Leal noted.

“Municipalities do recognize the need for change in the billing to help both sides of the equation,” said Reed.

The fact there are imbalances in how much municipalities pay per household is “something we need to grapple with,” said Leal.

“We need to get somewhere between these two points,” he said acknowledging there is “some unfairness in the current system.”

Leal added the OPP has costs it must distribute on a province-wide basis like its biker gang unit and joint anti-terrorism initiatives.

HBM Mayor Ron Gerow said there were “two important pieces” he wants government officials to acknowledge.

The first is to allow FPAC and others to “make their recommendations before we take any model.

“We recognize there is a need to change the model, let these recommendations come forward, they will form the basis,” said Gerow.

The other part, he added, is the “absolute need” for “mitigating funding” from Queen’s Park.

“We are concerned about the financial impact this will have, both short-term and long-term.”

Without mitigating funding Gerow says they will not be able to pay their policing bill.

“An 80 per cent spike in costs is not going to happen in HBM.” Leal says he wants to avoid is “pitting one municipality against another.”

Reed says the delegation represents all sides and is not to “divide” municipalities but to “[bring] them together with solutions.”

During the meeting councillors supported several more resolutions opposed to the proposed OPP billing model including one from the District of Parry Sound which is predicting a 315 per cent increase.

News - Havelock - Havelock-BelmontMethuen will join 14 other municipalities as part of a delegation to speak to three provincial cabinet ministers about a proposed new OPP billing model.

The discussion will take place at this month’s Rural Ontario Municipal Association conference in Toronto and will bring together the Minister of Finance, Minster of Community and Correctional Service and Peterborough’s Jeff Leal, the Minister of Rural Affairs.

Township CAO Linda Reed represents the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) on the Future of Policing Advisory Committee (FPAC) and will be a key member of the delegation which, she stressed, represents municipalities and not police service boards. The delegation will be led by AMO past president Gary McNamara, also a member of the provincially appointed FPAC. FPAC was formed after a major “summit” on policing the province hosted at Ryerson University in 2012.

The delegation understands that under the proposed billing model, which uses a “base” $260 per household cost plus a variable charge based on calls for service, some municipalities will see a reduction in their policing costs.

There has been a steady stream of concerns from municipalities that anticipate “significant” increases in their police bill, says Reed.

“We’re on the side that could see a double digit [increase],” she told Leal during a visit to council.

“There are municipalities right now who are paying so much they’re at the breaking point.”

That includes municipalities like Asphodel-Norwood which would catch a break if the new billing model was adopted.

There are groups representing police service boards, including one in Peterborough County, studying the same issue but from a

to pay or an explanation for the amounts billed.

“When customers try to get answers from Hydro One they are stymied, just as my office has often been stymied when we intervened,” Marin said.

The investigation is expected to take nine months and Marin is encouraging anyone with relevant information to contact his office.

ince and it is alarming. Many of those who have contacted us are in vulnerable situations and say they have faced significant financial hardship and stress because of their dealings with Hydro One.” Common complaints involved large “catch-up” bills to customers who had received estimatedT:8.5" bills, or no bills, for long periods and were given little time

Colborne Art Gallery looking for members

News - Colborne - The Colborne Art Gallery is looking for people who might be interested in joining the dynamic artists co-operative.

The Colborne Art Gallery is made up of visual artists who work together to present eight shows a year in their heritage building located in the heart of Colborne. The artists collective is currently taking applications from established and emerging visual artists in a variety of media to join their team.

“Being a member of an artist-run organization has a wide variety of benefits which the members of The Colborne Art Gallery express with passion,” says member Barbara Buntin.

As one member explained: “I particularly enjoy the fellowship of the other artists, trading information, sharing ideas, responding to each other’s work in a candid way.”

Another member describes it this way: “Having new work on display eight times a year gives me a chance to investigate fresh ideas and receive immediate response; it’s been good for my growth as an artist.”

Buntin says members represent a “diverse group in terms of their lives as well as their art.”

Some are full-time artists while others balance another full-time job with their creative work for the Gallery; some use the gallery shows as their only outlet for exhibition while others are involved with a variety of shows and galleries.

Members include a mother with children at home, full-time teachers, a recent college art graduate, and others who are semi-retired.

“Each artist finds that their involvement in gallery membership can provide the stimulus needed

to bring out the best in their work,” says Buntin.

In the words of one long-time gallery member, “the members of the Gallery ‘get’ me and they understand my art obsession as I do theirs.

“We watch and help each other develop over time as well as sharing the work it takes to keep the gallery running. I have grown in unexpected ways because of these dynamics.”

The gallery welcomes applications from makers of fine crafts, fibre and mixed media artists, painters, photographers, sculptors, printmakers and other visual artists.

Interested artists can get more information by visiting the art gallery’s web site at <www. thecolborneartgallery.ca> or by emailing <info@thecolborneartgallery.ca> or by telephone at 905-355-1798.

started to make it more of a focus,” Cowan said during his Hastings visit where he talked to students about the “sad” but true story depicted in the film where friends Natalie, Pete and Kelly go to a school dance where Natalie was to meet Johnny who was turned away from the dance because he’d been drinking. Still, he’s able to persuade Natalie to come with him to a house party; she says yes with her not-so-happy but sober friends following along in their own car.

At the party, Natalie succumbs to the lure of binge drinking and again gets into Johnny’s car; her friends are distraught, try to take the keys away from Johnny to prevent him from driving; they even phone 911 but the drunk driver speeds off with Natalie beside him. Once again they follow but this time the impaired Johnny does a U-turn in the middle of a road and drives in the opposite direction but also in the wrong lane plowing into Kelly’s car. Pete and Johnny die at the scene, Kelly is severely injured and Natalie stumbles out of the car with a

News - Hastings - Road crashes are the number one cause of teen death in Canada and young people are disproportionately represented in the statistics that detail the number of alcoholrelated crash deaths that occur in this country.

Those are raw facts but they tell only part of the story when it comes to impaired driving and car accidents.

Grade 7 and 8 students at Hastings Public School were taken inside the unhappy story of Kelly, Natalie and Pete and the popular but “incorrigible” Johnny during the powerful and difficult-to-watch film Too Close to Home and a series of interviews called Lives Lost that was part of the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) presentation.

Talking to Grade 7 and 8 students about the fatally dangerous combination of drugs and alcohol and motorized vehicles is something MADD has made a conscious effort to do, says field representative Neil Cowan.

The Good Earth:

Dave Gunning concert, Children’s Mental Health Dave Gunning fans. We realised that we hadn’t been to one of his concerts in almost two years and thought we’d arrange a small house party. Shortly after the first contacts with Dave’s management team, we were told about a situation where a young person was in crisis and at grave risk.

The house party became a benefit slash kitchen party and then a small concert (non-ticketed) and, with the cancellation of Pat Clark’s house party (think snow and white-outs and Dave having to drive down from the other side of Toronto on the 401), to this larger event of today. So, if you’re confused about why there were some interesting changes in the schedule of events, now you know.

A telling statistic from Bell’s Let’s Talk campaign notes that youth mental illness is responsible for more death and trauma than all pediatric cancers combined. That is not to put one ahead of the other; it is to illustrate how serious and pervasive this is.

Dan Clost Hello Gentle Reader, This is not gardening column today; it is a community column. I’d like to share with you the events surrounding a concert that happened this past Sunday in Trenton.

At the start of the show, it was my pleasure to address the audience and let them know how the show came about. I didn’t have to tell them why they were there, to listen to one of Canada’s best singer songwriters.

I think the best way to tell all about it is to reprint the opening remarks. I believe in the three Bs of public speaking, be concise, be brief, be gone. So here they are: Betty and I, as most of you know, are

Lifestyles - The hashtag #foreveralone is trending on Twitter as Valentine’s Day nears. While those in relationships may cheer February 14 because they’ll get chocolate (hint, hint), for many it’s just another reminder that they are frustratingly single.

Maybe it’s because I have a good marriage that it bothers me when people are single and don’t want to be. I wish everyone could have what I have! After all, most people do yearn for a love that lasts forever.

afternoon, you’re sitting in the comfortable pew.

To Andrew Crews and Pat Clark for the sound equipment and setting it up, in a moment you’ll hear the results of their meticulous attention to detail.

To Brenda and Gwen and other family members who have made dozens of muffins/cupcakes and other goodies for you to enjoy during the intermission.

To Dee Rix who helped relieve you of your monetary burden. Feel free to lighten the load even more.

To Dave’s managers who helped arrange all of this and for significantly reducing the fee in aid of the cause.

To all of you who aiding both this cause and, on another level, supporting our Canadian musicians so that they can continue to tell our story through their songs.

Last, certainly not the least, to Mr. Dave Gunning, an amazingly gifted and generous chap who is all set to entertain us.

Let’s enjoy his songs, let’s celebrate

We may not think it’s possible, but we still dream of it.

But so often we act in ways that make it far less likely to occur. I think too often we believe that “love will just happen”, like in Nora Roberts books, but love often shows up when you’re getting busy meeting people, not when you’re sitting at home dreaming of it.

So ask yourself, “If I want to marry someone who will be faithful, who will love me, whom I can love and respect in turn, and who will be a good financial and parenting partner, is what I’m doing right now helping me to meet that sort of person?” And let me tell you, you’re unlikely to meet that person in a bar.

well with other cats. She really wants to be invited into a family so she can be the princess she knows she can be.

Geisha (grey and white) polydactyl and Gemma (grey tabby and white) are also shy and timid but will warm up quickly with a little love and patience.

To adopt any of our beautiful cats and kittens check out www.catcarespayneuter.com.

We are still reducing our adoption fees to $75 for kittens and $50 for cats to help us find good loving homes. Think about having two kittens, a great idea for those who are away all day at work.

Your kitten will have a friend to keep him/her company and you get double the laughs and joy watching them play and snuggle.

Please join us at Paulmac’s 25 Doxee St. in Campbellford February 14, 15 and 16 for our “Be Mine We could be Purrfect Together” Adoptathon”. We will have some of our cats and kittens for adoption on site.

GR, it was as good a performance as a folkie could hope for. Dave has a line in Big Shoes (about John Allen Cameron and Stan Rogers), “...spend my whole life tryin’ and I’d never fill those shoes.” Dave is right up there with both of these legends but he is standing in his own tracks.

The show brought in a titch under $1000 and the proceeds were sent on immediately following the concert. It is important to include the “thanks” because we need to acknowledge the power of the individual in the community to make changes.

The cause is serious, the need urgent.

Please do what you can to help out. If you happen to enjoy a great concert along the way, all the better.

One last special thank you goes to Louise Ford for introducing us to Dave.

INSIDE

We’re here today to raise funds as a benefit and for a specific fund.

The benefit portion is to assist a family who have found the help that their child needs but the logistics and costs of getting there, an hour each way during working hours, are daunting to say the least. This is not the time for a family in crisis to be limited by money.

The fund-raising portion is for the Trenton High School Emergency Fund, a fund primarily administered by the teachers, our community partners who see our children daily. Its purpose is to help our youth in need cope with sometimes overwhelming stress and to alleviate challenges to well-being before they reach a crisis stage.

The costs of this concert have been covered by a benefactor so every penny of your donations will go directly to source of the need.

Time for thanks: To King Street United Church for allowing us to conduct this concert this

Most of us will marry someone through our social circle, a friend of a friend, or through our workplaces. Thus, it makes sense to fill your social circle with the kinds of people that you would consider marriageable material. If the people you hang out with think getting drunk every weekend is the pinnacle of fun, then you’re unlikely to cross paths with Mr. Right.

Instead, reconnect with friends from school that you really enjoyed who were going someplace in life. Suggest coffee to women you work with. It isn’t only about getting to know more men; I met my husband because he was the friend of the boyfriend of one of my best girlfriends!

The more people you know, and the more friendships you invest in, the more likely you are to meet a potential spouse.

Want to marry someone interesting?

Make sure you’re doing interesting things, too! Learn some new skills. Take up a new hobby. Join a club. Even rediscover faith! A recent Facebook Data Science study found that religious colleges make up the vast majority of the top 25 universities with married students. People of faith tend to also be people who value marriage.

And here’s where I say something that will get me in real hot water: take care of yourself. First impressions do matter. Put some effort into your appearance. Get in shape. Go to a drug store and ask for some makeup tips. People may say, “I want him to love me for who I am,” and I completely agree. But that kind of love grows from first showing an interest, and for most of us, initial interest is largely determined by attraction.

Attraction isn’t only about being beautiful, though; it’s often just as much about confidence and the pride you take in yourself. Treat yourself well, and learn to exude genuine confidence, and that is attractive in and of itself.

Finally, as someone who makes a decent living blogging, I do believe that the online world has a lot to offer. Signing up for online dating, as long as you’re smart and take the proper precautions, isn’t a bad idea. In fact, for many of my friends who met their spouses that way, it ended up being a very good idea indeed!

Will these tips automatically work?

Nope. Unfortunately there isn’t a guarantee. But if you do nurture a healthy social circle, volunteer and fill your life with good things, and take care of yourself, you’ll have a richer life regardless. And then you really won’t be forever alone.

New physician to join Trent Hills Family Health Team at Warkworth location

News – Trent Hills – A new doctor is coming to Trent Hills.

Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) and the Trent Hills Family Health Team (THFHT) recently announced that Dr. Kelly Parks will be opening a medical practice on May 1.

As the newest member of the THFHT and CMH asso-

ciate staff, she will be based out of the Warkworth Medical Centre on George Street, sharing offices and staff with Dr. Brett Jamieson.

“After spending four months as a resident in the Warkworth office and CMH, I look forward to joining the Trent Hills Family Health Team, and making the area my new home,”

Dr. Kelly Parks will be opening a medical practice on May 1 as the newest member of the Trent Hills Family Health Team (THFHT) and Campbellford Memorial Hospital associate staff. She will be based out of the Warkworth Medical Centre on George Street. Dr. Bob Henderson, THFHT medical director, welcomed her to the team. Photo: Submitted

stated Dr. Parks in a press release.

She completed four months of residency training in Warkworth, from October 2012 to February 2013, and this block experience sold her on the community, the Family Health Team and the hospital.

Dr. Parks was recruited with the assistance of the Trent Hills Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee and through Dr. Jamieson’s professional association with Queen’s University’s Family Medicine Residency Program.

She is a recent graduate of Queen’s University’s Family Medicine Residency Program after receiving her degree in Medicine from the American University of the Caribbean (St. Maarten, Netherlands Antilles).

Prior to obtaining her medical licensure, and after completing a B.Sc. (physiotherapy) and Honours B.A. (physical education) from the University of Western Ontario, Dr. Parks practiced as a physiotherapist in the Peterborough area for 17 years.

She has now completed additional postgraduate training in Palliative Care at Queen’s and, along with her other professional affiliations, is a member of the Canadian Society of Palliative Care Physicians.

“The physicians of the Trent Hills Family Health Team are very happy to welcome Dr. Parks to our ranks. She is known to us from her time here as a resident and we know her to be an excellent family physician and a great person. We, and the people of this

community, are lucky to have her,” said Dr. Bob Henderson, medical director THFHT. Planning for her patient load, Dr. Parks will begin by signing up existing patients from a combination of practices within the THFHT. Some of those patients will be or have already received a letter outlining sign up options.

This will allow for some of the larger practices to have a more balanced patient load.

The THFHT has set up a special phone line for patients who receive a letter.

“I am thrilled to have Kelly coming on board with me in Warkworth and as the newest member of the team. It was a pleasure to be involved in

a teaching process that blossomed into recruitment. She brings with her a depth of knowledge that includes palliative care and her patients will be well served,” said Dr. Brett Jamieson, THFHT associate.

Outside of work, Dr. Parks is an avid figure skater, coach and medical volunteer on the local figure skating scene.

New minister at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church Warkworth

By Sue Dickens

Rev. Richard Prince held his ďŹ rst service a couple of weeks ago at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church, Main Street,

Warkworth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I need to get my feet on the ground and hear what people here are thinking and their perceptions of the community and the needs here,â&#x20AC;? he replied when asked what he would like to bring to his role as the new minister here.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It needs to suit the local context and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know enough about it yet,â&#x20AC;? he added.

When ďŹ rst ordained, Rev. Prince worked in Saskatchewan where he remained for a few years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been in the ministry for about 33 years and worked a number of places, the latest one being Peterborough,â&#x20AC;? he commented.

He lives there currently with his wife.

When he learned that the congregation at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church was looking for a minister he applied for the position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Warkworth has a very interesting congregation, open to lots of new ideas and possibilities,â&#x20AC;? he said.

It was just last January, 2013, during a regular church service, that the church held a very special event, an AfďŹ rm CertiďŹ cation celebration.

Elaine Mann, chair of the afďŹ rm committee which was struck in November 2010, said at the time that the event was the result of months of studying and reading and doing research on becoming an afďŹ rming congregation.

Establishing the afďŹ rming committee was part of a ďŹ ve-year plan â&#x20AC;&#x153;which was the genesis of many things, some of it ďŹ nancial, some of it related to the building, the services the church was providing in the community, and even the music played during church services,â&#x20AC;? said Dean Peters who was chair of the church board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has an afďŹ rming congregation that welcomes the LGTB (lesbian, gay,

As part of the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing efforts to serve its congregation, it has acquired a huge projection screen to display the service, making it easy to follow along.

The choir under Susan Clarkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction is also performing new and different music.

St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also has a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program on Sunday mornings during the regular service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every congregation is challenged by changes that are happening in the church to ďŹ nd ways to be in the community serving in the community in ways that are helpful for the community, ďŹ nding those ways and inviting people from the congregation to be part of that,â&#x20AC;? commented Rev. Prince. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also inviting people in the community to join us in worship and other activities, inviting the congregation to look outward to the community is an important part of what it means to be a church now,â&#x20AC;? he added.

When he is not ministering and getting to know his congregation he admits he enjoys photography and canoeing.

St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church holds its service every Sunday at 10:20 a.m.

who lives just north of the village, could see the ďŹ&#x201A;ames from his house when responding to the call. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a big ďŹ re,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Crews quickly attacked the blaze to bring it under control, Little says, but there were still hotspots being doused four hours later.

Little says more than 20 ďŹ reďŹ ghters and half a dozen trucks from Stirling-Rawdon responded as well as support crews from the Centre Hastings Fire Department. Business owner Dennis Barker and Fire Chief Rick Caddick were both out of town at the time of the ďŹ re and unavailable for comment. Barkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Daniel, was at the scene Tuesday but had little to say at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under control,â&#x20AC;? he said of the ordeal, but could offer nothing further about the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immediate plans.

Little says due to the extent of the damage to both equipment and the structure, the Fire Marshal has been called in to investigate. Little was also hesitant to offer a complete damage estimate, uncertain of the state of equipment inside or its value, but said the structure would require more $100,000 in repairs. Crews were able to save much of the T-shaped building, he says, including a recent addition.

With temperatures well below â&#x20AC;&#x201C;20C, crews were ďŹ ghting the ďŹ&#x201A;ames as well as the cold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did a good job,â&#x20AC;? Little said, adding that under the circumstances the resulting damage could have been signiďŹ cantly worse.

Heart Health:

Small changes can make a big difference

(NC) Health-conscious Canadians are paying particular attention to cardiovascular health. Seasonal changes can sometimes throw us off our regular routines and some people discard heart-healthy habits for more convenient, unhealthy behaviours. In fact, statistics show that as many as 40% of Canadians have high cholesterol, which is a risk factor for heart disease.

Experts say the most important factors in cholesterol management are healthy lifestyle choices like a nutritious diet, regular physical activity and not smoking. During the winter months, some people find they lapse in these areas as they spend more time indoors to avoid the chilly weather and enjoy more hearty winter meals. Here are some tips to help you stay heart healthy this season.

1) Try to consume more heart-healthy foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, nuts and berries. Avoid foods with high levels of trans fats. If you do decide to indulge in convenience or comfort foods, try to reduce your portion size.

2) Get outside and enjoy all that winter has to offer. Bundling up and going for a brisk winter stroll can be a great way to get

exercise and appreciate the snowy landscape. If you have a pair of skates, visit an outdoor rink – this is the only time of year they’re open.

3) If you are a smoker, try to cut down or quit smoking this winter. Don’t be afraid to reach out to friends and family members for support.

4) Manage stress. Identify the source of your stress, talk to friends and family, and take time for yourself.

5) Limit alcohol consumption. Women should limit themselves to no more than two drinks a day, to a weekly maximum of 10, and men to three drinks a day, to a weekly maximum of 15.

When lifestyle changes aren’t enough, Dr. Chris Mohr, RD, PhD, recommends a probiotic supplement that can help bridge the gap between diet, exercise and drugs. “Cardioviva is the only probiotic that’s been clinically proven to help reduce bad cholesterol,” says Dr. Mohr. This supplement has been shown to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels by reducing the amount we absorb from food and the amount the body naturally produces.

Five things you should know about OPP municipal policing

By Superintendent Rick Philbin, OPP

In this article, the Commander of the OPP’s Municipal Police Bureau addresses some misconceptions and misunderstandings about how the OPP polices municipalities both under contract and on a non-contract basis and recovers the costs.

There is currently a healthy and important debate underway about the cost of policing in Ontario and future sustainability. Part of that discussion involves how the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) delivers police services to 324 municipalities and our current billing model, which is under review. In the interest of contributing to informed debate, here are five things everyone who lives in an OPP-policed municipality should know.

1. All municipalities must provide policing services to their constituents.

They can do this in a several ways. Just one of these is contracting services from the OPP under Section 10 of the Police Services Act (PSA). A municipality may also: establish a police service; enter into an agreement with one or more

other municipal councils to constitute a joint police service board; enter into an agreement with one or more councils to amalgamate their police services; or contract services from an adjacent police service (a police service that shares a political boundary with the contracting municipality).

If none of these choices are exercised, policing services are provided by default by the OPP under Section 5.1 of the PSA. Municipalities have these policing choices and many decide on the OPP for a variety of good reasons. I am pleased to report that OPP-policed communities report a high level of satisfaction with our services.

2. Provincial regulations require the full and fair cost recovery from municipalities for OPP services. The OPP and the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services are in the midst of a Billing Model Review that will result in a fairer, more transparent and less complex process – something many municipalities have demanded.

The total revenues recovered under the new model will still be solely cost

recovery, but some municipalities will pay more and some will pay less.

3. The Provincial Auditor General has also recommended that the Ontario Provincial Police should simplify its costing and billing methods.

He also said the OPP should make the billing and costing methods more transparent and “address the issues that result in municipalities paying different rates” (2012 Provincial Audit). In 2015, under the proposed billing model an estimated base cost per household of $260 would be charged along with a cost for Calls for Service. OPPpoliced municipalities that currently pay lower than $300 per household should see their policing costs rise; municipalities that currently pay more than $400 per household should see their policing costs drop. Let’s be honest, some municipalities have enjoyed unrealistically low policing costs with the OPP for many years, while others have paid much higher per household due to a complex billing process.

Addressing this discrepancy is the right thing to do, although we acknowledge

that the transition for the municipalities who will experience rising costs will be difficult. The Ontario government is considering ways to lessen the financial impact during the transition to a new billing model.

4. The OPP Cost Recovery Formula resulted in a reduction of one per cent in billing for direct operating expenses (gas, uniforms, computers, etc.) from 2010 to 2013. This was a significant accomplishment compared to other police services, which are also struggling with rising costs in a time of restraint. I must acknowledge that uniform salaries, which are not part of the Cost Recovery Formula, are 80 to 85 per cent of the overall costs charged to OPP-policed municipalities. After two years without receiving a general increase in wages (2012, 2013), OPP officers received an increase of 8.55 per cent in 2014 to raise the salary of an OPP Provincial Constable to be equal to that of the highest paid police service in the province. The OPP will have to recover these costs in the municipalities it polices.

5. Regardless of any changes to billing and the wage raise in 2014, the OPP remains the most cost-effective policing option for many municipalities in Ontario. OPP costs, on average, are less than half of the average cost of municipal police services in the province (based on OPP and Ministry of Finance data). While the per household cost of policing can vary widely under the current billing model, our low per household cost average tells us that the OPP is doing a really good job of being cost-effective and efficient.

The men and the women of the OPP are dedicated professionals who provide a wide range of policing services to Ontario’s communities. We continue to work hard each and every day to keep the trust and confidence of the people of this province. We look forward to continuing to work with all of our partners to ensure a safe and secure Ontario.

News – Northumberland – It’s been a tough winter for motorists using Hwy. 401 but elected officials say a change in snow removal practices by the province hasn’t helped the situation.

Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Rob Milligan said his offices in Trenton and Cobourg have been “overwhelmed with calls from constituents who were concerned with the travelling environment on the 401,” where there have been numerous multiple vehicle pileups on the highway in recent weeks.

That led him to contact the Ministry of Transportation to set up a meeting last week between county council and staff members and representatives from the Ministry of Transportation and Carillion Canada Inc., the company contracted to clear snow off the 401 in Northumberland.

What came out at the February 3 meeting was that the request for proposals to provide snow removal services had been altered from previous years, Milligan said. The number of pieces of equipment required was lowered from 17 to eight, and the number of depots from which to draw sand and salt was reduced from three to one, at Grafton.

“That’s a significant decrease,” Milligan said. “I can see obviously austerity measures are coming but the 401 is the economic bloodline of the province,” serving the needs of not only people commuting to work but transport trucks hauling goods.

It’s important they keep moving “to keep the economy going.”

Milligan said the ministry agreed it would try to come up with a remedy to fix the problem “sooner rather than later” and have someone attend a county council meeting to answer questions.

The MPP said he received a call from a Mississauga resident who told him he had driven along the 401 and found it “atrocious” but as soon as he reached Durham it became “much safer and clear.”

Brighton principal wins provincial library award

By Ray Yurkowski

News – Brighton – East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) principal Jeff Kawzenuk has been named administrator of the year by the Ontario School Library Association (OSLA).

The prestigious award was presented at the OSLA annual general meeting held during the recent Ontario Library Association Super Conference in Toronto. Kawzenuk accepted the honour via a video recorded during an annual student trip to Africa. In it, he told those at-

tending the meeting, “I hate to say it, but the temperature here is 33 degrees.”

Officially, the award was created to honour a school administrator who brought their influence to bear on the development of effective school library information centres and school library programs. The nomination, forwarded by ENSS teacher-librarian Angela Thompson, included a collection of letters written by several supporters.

In her presentation at the award ceremony, Thompson noted how

Kawzenuk “has always been a strong supporter of teacher-librarians and school library programs.”

“He was instrumental in orchestrating our major library renovation that happened, after five years of planning, this past summer,” she said. “He has always been supportive of my role and is a strong believer in the importance of both text and technology in education.”

“When I approach Jeff for support or funding for one idea or another, he has yet to send me away empty handed or without my feel-

ing even more inspired to do interesting initiatives in our school library,” she added. “He is a great motivator and supporter; a top-notch administrator; and an excellent candidate for this award. We have a gorgeous new library space and he was a key player in making that happen.”

While the ENSS library has always been a busy and vibrant place, Thompson says the renovation “has certainly increased the flexibility and comfort of the space.”

Co-op education teacher Deanne Patenall agrees.

“The new library has a fresh atmosphere and it is a pleasant teaching environment,” she said, adding how she “appreciates all of the technology resources that we now have access to.”

“I’ve always thought every school needs a really good resource library,” said Kawzenuk, in an interview last week. “And I’ve always tried to make it one of the priorities at every school where I’ve worked.”

OFA Vice-President to discuss how farmers can battle elements

News – Belleville – Farming, like no other profession, depends on a healthy and productive environment. “As farmers, let’s be the best stewards we can be, with the best tools we have. I want to help farmers facing environmental issues and climate change,” said Don McCabe, Vice President of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture.

On Thursday, Feb. 27, in Belleville, McCabe will address farmers and the general public about Ontario farmers interacting with the environment, and he invites enthusiastic consultation and discussion.

The event takes place at the Township of Thurlow Community Centre at 516 Harmony Rd., north of Belleville (and west off Hwy. 37), at 7 p.m. There is no cost, but donations will be gratefully accepted at the door. All are welcome to attend.

An important tool for the farm community is the Environmental Farm Plan – created by farmers, for farmers. It has been a huge success in Ontario.

McCabe will outline the plan

and give advice on particular issues or concerns. A fundamental part of farming is doing business while respecting the environment.

For example, water is essential for every farming operation. What if a major storm rips out the streambank of your creek? Or if cattle trample the shoreline and the bank is eroded? In both cases, a bank stabilization program is needed.

Access to funding can improve those conditions and provide a successful, affordable solution.

McCabe will update the audience on some existing and emerging farm policy. Open for discussion will be Managing Water, Food versus Fuel, Land Use Change, Environmental Goods and Services (Carbon credits, Phosphorous trading) as applied to farming. Climate change – and its endless, far-reaching effects – must be incorporated into a solid farm plan for the future. Agriculture is part of the problem, but can be a bigger part of the solution.

Biodiversity below ground is essential for healthy soils and conditions in a thriving ecosys-

tem. Biodiversity above ground is just as important. However, individual species programs may not be effective over a large geographical area. The applications of current Species At Risk programs need to be clarified, and farmers need to keep the overall picture in mind.

The transition of our agricultural economy is ongoing and bioeconomy is the new buzz word. New market opportunities such as biofuels, wheat and corn stalks as sugar sources, biocomposites, and bioenergy are in front of us. New niches and opportunities are out there; those who attend the event find out what they are and how to take advantage of them.

This evening will focus on consultation with farmers and the public on all these issues and more. McCabe is looking for input on policies and discussion of possible solutions.

Sports - Cordova Mines It was a celebration of Cordova Mines and hockey’s outdoor roots at the fifth annual Cordova Outdoor

Country Classic tourney on a gloriously perfect Saturday at the fabulous open air rink next to the fire hall.

In true Olympic spirit there was plenty of red and white

and several wannabe Crosbys making plays around the net.

Eight teams from Caledon to Peterborough took to the smooth and diamond-hard ice that Mother Nature’s fiercely Canadian winter and a team of dedicated volunteers has helped to prepare this season. The tourney is a fund raiser that contributes to the Cordova Mines Recreation Association and its maintenance work on the ice rink.

“It’s all about Cordova Mines, a great little town,” organizer Tim Beckford said after his feisty Mother Puckers team left the ice in a 6 - 4 losing battle against the Free Range Birds.

“The outdoor game is a whole different game out there,” Beckford said.

“The past two weeks have been phenomenal for making ice; it’s probably the best we’ve seen so the guys aren’t hacking it out too much out there. The pace is up. There are some good players here; guys who are 55 and kids who are 18; it’s a good mix.”

Along with some new faces from places like Georgetown, Brampton and Peterborough, Beckford said there were “a lot of repeat customers; they keep coming back from the start.”

The number of teams were cut down

But for Beckford and his hockey buddies the tourney is also a chance to give back to a community that worked tirelessly to restore the hamlet’s tradition of outdoor hockey by building an ice pad that has become a jewel of a recreation space.

“They’ve got a great rink here and we want to make sure it keeps going,” he said, noting the group helped resurface the pad but there is more to do.

Campbellford curlers rock at the Classic Little Rock championship

Sports – Campbellford – The curling club was rockin’ as the 2014 Campbellford Classic Little Rocks Bonspiel saw young curling enthusiasts take to the ice for some fun.

This while the 2014 Winter Olympics are underway in Sochi, where the best of the best in sports, including Canadian men’s and women’s curling teams, are on the quest for gold.

Perhaps there were some Olympic hopefuls among the youngsters curling last Sunday here.

“We played really good for the first game … and everybody threw really well plus our sweepers worked the hardest,” said Skip Morgan Typhair, whose team from Brighton won the Bantam Division, (ages 12 to 16).

His rink included Curtis Sparks, vice; Kelly-Lynn Galt, second; and Nicky Draper, as lead.

“The Bantam game for top honours between Brighton and Campbellford proved very exciting ending in a shoot out (draw to the button) that resulted in Brighton winning the trophies and taking home top honours,” commented Lori Godden, who was there helping her husband Ben who has been looking after the bonspiel for the past two years.

This is the third year for the fun competition.

Second spot in the Bantam Division went to a Campbellford team skipped by

Abby Godden with teammates Victoria Langford, vice; Lucas Ingram, second; and Miranda Macklin as lead.

“I really had a lot of fun,” said Jake Gulliford, lead for the team that took third place in the Bantam Division, led by skip Bobby Vanderlip, with teammates Mitchell Maclean as vice and Travis Brown as second.

The Bantams are in the Little Rock program but they are an older age group.

When it came time for the Little Rocks to compete (ages 8 to 12) the winning team from Campbellford took top spot with skip William Dorie, vice Ethan Dorie, second Dustin Vink and lead Nolan Eakins.

Second place went to another Campbellford rink led by skip Will Vandermeulen with teammates Dylan Hart as vice, Nathan Brown as second and Chase Kloosterman as lead.

“I’m just trying to have some fun,” said Vandermeulen before the bonspiel started.

A total of seven Campbellford teams competed alongside three from Brighton, and two from Trenton for a total of 48 young curlers.

“We were down in the Bantam Division in terms of the number of teams but the Little Rock teams saw every sheet full,” said (Ben) Godden.

“The idea for the Little Rock Bonspiel today is to get kids to play against local towns. They get tired of playing the same people all of the time and I think they learn more,” Godden added.

“It’s all about having fun . . . and learning to curl.”

The young curlers here in Campbellford will continue until March 1 and then they will have their own inhouse bonspiel.

Empire B regular season going down to the wire for four teams

R0012546571

26 The Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, February 13, 2014

Sports – Campbellford – The Empire B Junior C Hockey League regular season comes to an end this weekend and it’s going down to the wire as to who will make the playoffs among four teams.

Entering play this week, the Amherstview Jets held down second spot with 43 points, two up on the Napanee Raiders and three ahead of the Campbellford Rebels and Port Hope Panthers, who are tied for the fourth and final playoff spot.

But the Panthers have two games in hand, and two of them are against the lowly Deseronto Storm who are mired in sixth place with seven points. Campbellford also plays Deseronto twice to close out the season, so Port Hope will likely determine its fate in games against Amherstview and Napanee, which also have yet to clinch a berth in the post-season. Either one could slip out of contention this week.

The Rebels and Panthers remained neck-andneck by splitting a home-and-away series on the weekend. Port Hope won 3-1 at home February 7, and Campbellford pulled even in the standings the next day with a 6-1 win at the local arena.

Ryan Crowley, the Rebels’ top scorer, paced

the attack with a goal and a pair of assists, on TJ Patterson’s two goals. Jordan Boutilier had a special night, scoring an unassisted shorthanded goal at 8:55 of the first to open the scoring, and he followed that by netting a power play goal soon after the start of the second period.

Joshua Leavey had the other Campbellford goal.

Port Hope’s Jared Boomhower ended Cole Mahoney’s bid for a shutout midway through the third period, when the Rebels outshot the visitors 21-2 (57-24 overall).

It was the second 6-1 thrashing Campbellford administered to Port Hope in less than a week.

A day earlier, it was Andrew Doxtator’s turn to spoil a netminder’s shutout attempt. He scored on a power play at 6:33 of the third in a 3-1 loss to the Panthers.

It was a penalty-filled contest with Campbellford being handed 35 minutes in penalties while Port Hope earned 44 minutes in the box.

Both the Rebels’ remaining games will be played at home this weekend, against the Storm: Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 3:30 p.m.

In spite of calls for technical assistance they could not get it going properly and resorted to traditional manpower for the starting signal.

The club is grateful to Les Nieman from Frankford, who carried out the starter’s job with calm and consistency throughout the course of races.

Professional race announcer Jessica Milton of Peterborough was on the microphone, clearly heard and engaged with the crowd and riders.

Similarly the computer program club members had hoped would make managing the event simpler did not live up to expectations. Milton said she could not get names and statistics combined together.

At the end of the day riders from as far away as Detroit and Ottawa had covered the track.

The final prize, King of the Ice, went to Krystal Sanders riding an 800cc. special Polaris Assault.

Major sponsors this year for all races were Bay-Marine (Ski-Doo), Bont-

ers (Polaris), Deer Haven Farm and Garden (Polaris), and Hastings Resort and Steakhouse of Gilmour with the announcer’s trailer supplied by Get Quick Trailers of Belleville. The Tweed Recreational Sport and Lawn Club and Paterson Auto Parts of Madoc also contributed.

McDonald’s of Madoc supplied the coffee while local non-profit groups assisted.

The Lion’s Club of Madoc hosted the food booth, the Madoc Agricultural Society manned the gate while the Kiwanis Club of Madoc and O’Hara Mills Pioneer Homestead volunteers managed security and garbage control.

These four agencies will receive proceeds from the event.

A number of financial institutions contributed funds to support the races, including TD/Canada Trust, Invesco Canada, and 1A Clarington Investments.

For those hoping to race again, the Sharbot Lake club is hosting its ice drags this weekend.

And this little piggy went racing at the Warkworth Fair

The St. Lawrence News published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how greateywe are!

John Campbell

News – Warkworth – The Percy Agricultural Society has decided to “go hog wild” for this year’s Warkworth Fair.

That’s the theme for the 164th edition of the annual event that will take place in September, when Jen’s Funny Farm Celebrity Racing Pigs will be the feature attraction.

The Oshawa owners of the hillbilly show, Ken and Jen Lasalle, have travelled across Canada with their petting zoo and racing pigs, and supplied animals for television shows.

The agricultural society will be looking to build upon last year’s success when the organization “ended up with a good financial situation ... we got money in the bank,” president Greg Torrance said. “That’s not always the case.”

same day as the Long Lunch.

It’s getting old and another one will have to take its place, rather than try to make repairs to the building, Torrance said.

The agricultural society intends to hold a couple of new fundraisers later this year to begin setting aside money for construction of a new building, and an application will be made for grants to defray some of the costs.

“It takes pretty well the village to run this fair,” Torrance said, and that includes community groups and local residents who support the fair. It’s a village “with a big heart,” he said.

This year’s fair will also mark the 25th anniversary of the Truck Show and Shine. Its long-serving organizer, Bill Newman, “has done a great job for us,” Torrance said.

The fair board will need the money it earned and more to make various improvements to the fairgrounds it has planned. Projects include replacing the building where the petting zoo is housed, and making the horse ring a permanent structure by installing fences, said Torrance, who’s in his second year as president.

“It’s a matter of finishing it off and getting it done in a way that it will look attractive and be a proper setup (so) we can have horse shows any time ... more than once a year.”

It will also “cut down on a lot of work that we have to do on fair weekend,” Torrance added.

Another project for the longer term is replacing the long red building known as the cow palace, where the beef show is staged and the street market that takes place the

News – Peterborough County Five Rice Lake anglers have been fined a total of $5,000 for illegal fishing activities.

Vincent Vanstone of Newcastle, John Rundle of Bowmanville, Gregory Topolie of Courtice, Donald Mowry of Bobcaygeon and Cornelieus Koppens of Port Hope pleaded guilty and were fined $1,000 each for catching and keeping over-sized walleye.

A press release from the On-

tario Ministry of Natural Resources stated that court heard that conservation officers observed a group of anglers staying at a Rice Lake cabin from November 1 to 3, 2013.

Officers stopped the men as they left and discovered they had caught and kept a number of walleye larger than the fishing regulations allowed.

Justice of the Peace Jack LeBlanc heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Port Hope on

January 28.

For further information on fishing regulations, please consult the 2014 Recreational Fishing Regulations Summary, available at ontario. ca/fishing.

Thursday, February 13, 2014, 9am - 4 pm Knights of Columbus Hall, 57 Stella Cres., Trenton

This year the organizers have partnered with Syngenta to bring you a key-note speaker. Victor Aideyan is an internationally known name in the commodity world. Victor is currently the Senior Risk Management Consultant and Head of Strategic Planning at HISGRAIIN Commodities Inc. a provider of Agricultural Commodities and Renewable Energy Marketing and Strategic Planning Consulting Services. Victor’s area of expertise encompasses marketing and price risk for pork producers as well as for producers of corn and soybeans. Victor has made numerous presentations to groups across the USA and Canada and is a sought-after speaker who possesses considerable experience when it comes to explaining and sharing his knowledge of marketing price risk and strategies for addressing this problem. You will not want to miss Victor’s key-note address immediately after lunch.

The morning seminars begin at 10:30 am. A hot topic whenever farmers get together is energy costs and this winter the added issue of energy supply. Paul Cuddy, Territory Account Manager with Superior Propane is our guest. The objective of Paul’s presentation is threefold. One, to inform people about the basics of propane and the propane B6 EMC Section B - Thursday, February 13, 2014

industry. Two, to discuss what has been happening this winter with propane shortages. And three, to let people know how they can avoid the erratic propane pricing in the colder months, whether it’s for crop drying, home heat, shop heat, or whatever.

The second morning speaker will be Eric Lawlor with the Ontario Soil & Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA).

Eric is the local Workshop Leader for OSCIA who will bring people up-to-date with the Government’s Growing Forward 2 programs. In addition to the educational components Eric will speak about potential funding opportunities for farmers, how to apply, and the new intake dates. All producers will need this information to apply for funding.

Not to be missed after the morning seminars and visiting with your local suppliers is the delicious hot roast beef dinner available at noon at a nominal charge.

Wrapping up the speakers program in the afternoon will be a hands-on operator of robotic miking. Dave Verberg of SandyCreek Farms will speak from experience. Dave owns a single A4 Astronaut robot, and is in a Coverall Barn with sand bedding. He installed the robot in the summer of 2012, so he has considerable experience. Dave will be accompanied by Levi Dejong from Lely in what promises to be an entertaining and informative presentation. This is an emerging technology that promises huge potential to dairy producers.

The Quinte Farm and Trade Show 2014 is not to be missed.

A full house of local agribusiness exhibitors; timely, topical and up-to-the-minute seminars; a great hot roast beef dinner; socialize with your fellow producers and friends.

The 2014 edition of the Quinte Farm and Trade Show is just around the corner and promises to be better than ever. The trade show runs from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm with a full house of 45 local exhibitors. All farmers love this show because the exhibitors are from the area and are the ones you do business with. The other great thing about this show is the line-up of seminars throughout the day.

This year's speakers and topics are especially interesting and important in this era of declining commodity prices, high energy costs, new technologies, and government programs available to help the farming industry.

TRAVEL

By John M. Smith

A visit to the Acropolis in Athens

Lifestyles - Now that the Winter Olympics are in full swing, I’m reminded of Greece, where the Olympic movement actually began. The ancient Greeks held sporting competitions that dated from 776 BC and the excavated ruins of the ancient stadium are still visible here today. However, if you ever visit Athens, Greece, there’s also another tourist attraction that you just can’t miss, and it’s the Acropolis. You’ll find the remains/ruins of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historical significance perched high up on a hill, overlooking the city of Athens and dominating the scene will be the Parthenon itself, certainly one of the greatest cultural

monuments ever built.

Pericles coordinated the construction of the site’s major buildings way back in the 5th century BC, including its Parthenon (a large temple dedicated to Athena), Propylaia (the monumental gateway at the entrance to the Acropolis), Erechtheum (a temple dedicated to both Athena and Poseidon), and the Temple of Athena Nike (a smaller four column Ionic temple located on the southwest corner of the Acropolis). These architectural wonders have endured decay, pollution and wars, but they have also undergone several revitalizations and restorations and the remnants of these ancient structures can still be visited today.

I discovered the remains of an outdoor theatre, the Theatre of Dionysus, a major open-air theatre, and the partially reconstructed Theatre of Herodes Atticus, a steep-sloped amphitheatre. The latter is the better preserved but both are incredible historic sites.

I also wandered out to Areopagus, a rock located beneath the summit and from here I was rewarded with a spectacular view of the city of Athens, spread out far below. I could see the Plaka

from which I’d ascended to get to the Acropolis, the Monistaraki, the flea market area of Athens, the Agora,the principal market area, Omonia, a major square in the centre of Athens, a few remaining columns of the once humungous Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Olympic Stadium, the ancient cemetery, and the National Gardens. I thought that this particular rock would be a great place from which to watch a sunset, too.

After my exploration of the

Acropolis, I descended back down the rather steep pathway and I found that the view looking up to the Acropolis from far below, was still very impressive. Back in 2007, the Acropolis was formally proclaimed “the preeminent monument on the European Cultural Heritage list of monuments”. This sacred rocky hill is the most significant reference point of ancient Greek culture, and its monuments are not to be missed architectural and artistic achievements.

R0012554106

The Temple of Erechtheum is also located on the Acropolis.

I walked from the Plaka, the oldest section of Athens located at the foot of the Acropolis, up to the summit. It’s a rather crowded climb, for there are lots of tourists here and the marble and rocks encountered on the pathways along the route can be quite slippery. I then enjoyed my own up close and personal view of the Acropolis. What a sight! It‘s just so incredible to be viewing something so magnificent and old! In Canada, we marvel at a century home, a building that has been around for 100 years, but here I was seeing the ruins/ remains of structures built well over 2,000 years ago The Parthenon is, indeed, the main attraction and it’s one of the most recognizable structures in the world. Some say it’s the most perfect building ever constructed, with each intricate piece cleverly fitting together as in a giant, heavy jigsaw puzzle. Like Egypt’s pyramids, I couldn’t help but marvel at how an ancient civilization could construct such an awesome structure without all our modern tools and equipment. As subsequent centuries have passed, the Parthenon has been converted from an ancient Greek temple to a mosque, a Christian church, and even a storage facility for gunpowder. Now it’s again undergoing lengthy restoration work and is Athens’ major tourist attraction.

I also checked out the nearby Erechtheum, where I saw the Porch of the Caryatids. I learned that the female sculptures (caryatids) displayed here are actually copies, for most of the originals have been placed in the Acropolis Museum with one placed in the British Museum.

The Parthenon was built in the 5th century BC.

Your Mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself, she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well, she's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colours of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning.

Your Mother lives inside your laughter.

She's the place you came from, your first home, and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you.

Not time, not space . . . . . . . . . not even death!
