CDHS Breakfast Club hosts Pancake Pandemonium

By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - Celebrating Shrove Tuesday, February 17, it was pancakes of all kinds for students at Campbellford District High School (CDHS). “The high school’s Breakfast Club is celebrating Shrove Tuesday combined with the launch of a special grant program, Green Apple Grant, awarded by Metro Foods,� said Pat Davis, a Life Skills teacher who is in charge of the breakfast program this year.

The grant was awarded to CDHS Learning and Life Skills Program to expand the three times a week nutrition program to include a monthly showcase of “less traditional/ mainstream� foods with a specific focus on local food providers, explained Davis. “The popular Breakfast Club is a perfect venue to introduce an opportunity to try new foods,� she added.

Students were quick to line up for the delicious pancakes on this day which was also dubbed the “Pancake Pandemonium� launch.

Students such as Gordie Titzel and Brittany Francis, who are both in Grade 11, were there to help and to taste the pancakes.

The launch included pancakes of all kinds including oatmeal/whole wheat, and premade mix pancakes.

As well gluten-free options were available with banana coconut buckwheat pancakes and plain buckwheat pancakes. “We use locally produced maple syrup from Sandy Flat Sugar Bush, Curle’s (Maple Products) and Hill Haven,� said Davis.

Also there to help was a former student of CDHS, Blair Bastien, of Campbellford. “I went to school at CDHS and I like to come in to

WEEK!

That motion passed by a 3 - 2 recorded vote.

The following month council approved the groundmount project near Westwood with PUI agreeing to lease municipal land.

“I’m not being stubborn about it,” Millett stressed. “It’s safety for our firemen and safety for us.”

Mr. van Koeverden reminded council that the municipality’s insurance company “is okay” with the project and that PUI will provide additional coverage for the panels and that in the case of a fire proved to have been caused by the panels the township’s insurer would cover the loss and seek restitution from PUI’s insurer.

“There have been answers [about fire suppression] in previous reports,” he added.

Mayor Terry Low also wanted additional information.

“In the meantime we can still ask questions; there’s nothing stopping [PUI] from moving forward because they have a contract.”

“I would like to see a letter from the insurance company that we’re not going to get stuck and a report from the fire chief,” said Millett.

Retired schoolteacher Carol Greven, right, volunteers on a regular basis with the CDHS Breakfast Program, which is organized by Pat Davis, a teacher (next to her). Another volunteer, centre, Elaine Read, of Hastings, pitched in to celebrate Shrove Tuesday. Helping out that day and participating in rating the pancakes were: from left, Gordie Titzel, Grade 11; Blair Bastien, former student and volunteer; and Brittany Francis, also in Grade 11.

ment with PUI until those issues were cleared up.

“I would like to see a whole lot of that cleared up as to who pays for what,” Millett said. “It’s just a total mess up as far as I’m concerned. I’m dead against them going on there [but] we can’t break the contract.”

Millett stood by his motion from council’s last meeting asking that nothing further be done on the solar project until council received that additional information.

The CAO’s report provided a chronological history of resolutions and motions related to the proposal dating back to July 10, 2012, when PUI representatives first approached council for a socalled Feed-in Tariff (FIT) resolution that would earn “priority points” in its application process with the Ontario Power Authority.

On November 26, 2013, following another presentation by Mike Owen and Kevin McKeown of PUI, council passed a lengthy motion, tabled by Millett, that, among other things, “support[ed] the construction and operation” of the rooftop solar projects and a bylaw authorizing the municipality to enter into an agreement with PUI.

Pancake Pandemonium

Here is Smokey’s story

Smokey is a handsome big boy. He and his siblings had a rough start in a barn, then their mom died.

Cat Care Initiative took them in and a wonderful foster family gave all six kittens a loving home and the tlc they needed to thrive.

Smokey is the biggest in his family and has very lush, thick hair.

Smokey is a typical kitten, full of energy and spunk for hours then falling fast asleep until dinner time.

Adopting two kittens is often a great idea. They will play together and with you, entertaining you for hours of fun. They will also keep each other company while you are away.

Our adoption fee for kittens is $75.00 and cats $50.00 which includes spay/neuter, first vaccines, deworm and deflea. We have an adoption application and contract Our winter hours are Thursday 9:00-4:00, Friday and Saturday 9:00-5:00.

a series of resolutions, motions and a bylaw approved by the previous council over the two projects which could generate $433,280 for the township over the next 20 years.

A groundmount proposal on leased municipal property on the Centre Line could bring in an additional $240,000 over 20 years.

Despite the legal opinion, a motion that “council of the day accepts the agreements as duly passed and approved by the previous council for the three solar projects under contract with PUI” did not make it to the table because it failed to receive a seconder.

Instead, council passed a motion deferring a decision on the solar projects report presented

by CAO Joe van Koeverden and asked staff to obtain further information on the issue from the municipality’s insurance company as well as details regarding fire training from Fire Chief Darryl Payne.

Councillor Roy Millett, part of the council that dealt with the PUI proposal starting in July, 2012, continued to press for more information on insurance and fire suppression and maintained that he was not in favour at that time of entering into a formal agree-

volunteer. It helps me stay connected with my friends and fellow teachers,” she said.

Kyle Read, a graduate of CDHS was also there to assist.

“I like to help,” he said.

Adult volunteer Carol Greven helped to set up the tables for the juice and pancakes, plates and utensils.

“This will be my ninth year helping here,” she said. She is there every Tuesday.

“I miss teaching high school students and I think this program is

wonderful,” she added.

Her husband coaches the football team at CDHS so there are plenty of connections to the school.

“The kids come in and say ‘oh we’re so hungry’ … it’s nice to be able to give them something to eat,” said Greven with a grin.

At the end of “Pancake Pandemonium” the students were asked to rate the pancakes.

“The most popular items will be added to the Breakfast Club menu,” said Davis.

“Nutritional information is pro-

vided for each of the recipes and this will be ongoing in the form of announcements, posters and bulletin boards for each of the following monthly features,” she added.

She also noted, “the program is fortunate to be funded by” Breakfast for Learning, Food 4 All, Minute Maid with local donors too including Fisher’s No Frills, Be My Guest Family Restaurant, Dooher’s Bakery, Tim Hortons, and the Campbellford Legion, Branch 103.

“Community volunteers assist on a weekly basis,” said Davis.

The Family Day event also included free skating in the arena sponsored by the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen which Higgins called another â&#x20AC;&#x153;good fit, skating and soup.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice when this community gets together and to be part of that is an exciting thing,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Food is the best draw you can have.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good way to get the community to all come together,â&#x20AC;? said Brooke Wrightly, lead organizer of the challenge.

Wrightly was pleased to see new entrants alongside some of the regulars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a few people from out of town so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to see that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to spread.â&#x20AC;?

Community kitchen cooks up a storm

By Bill Freeman

News - Hastings - It’s social and it’s healthy.

Hastings’ Community Kitchen program is thriving at the Civic Centre bringing together people of all ages and levels of experience around the cutting board.

The goal, says Pat Stuckless of the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit (HKPR) is “to learn how to eat healthy and if they already know how to eat healthy then [to] share some of their tips with other people, share recipes. If there’s interest in things they’d like to cook we can do that too.”

“It gets folks out and interacting with their community,” Stuckless adds, as much as it focuses attention on eating healthier foods.

“I just love it,” says Ed Wientjes.

“This is just excellent for me. You learn quite a bit.”

Wientjes has had “some health issues” and says the program has It was stir fry at the Hastings Community Kitchen this month. In the photo are (l-r) Pat Stuckless of the Haliburton Kawartha helped him “learn a bit [more] Pine Ridge District Health Unit, Jamie Adams, Casey McIntyre and Ed Wientjes.

Photo: Bill Freeman After his first wife passed away in 2005 Wientjes says he “kind of had to learn how to cook” but took “the easy way out.

“It wasn’t healthy,” he admits.

Wientjes developed diabetes and suffered heart attacks. Now, as a Community Kitchen veteran, he’s

“more confident” and able to prepare meals for his second wife who works in Mississauga.

He also finds himself paying attention to interesting recipes he sees in magazines.

Nothing tops fresh food, he concedes.

“It tastes much better than the frozen stuff. I’m glad I heard about the program.”

Jamie Adams feels the same way.

“I love it. It helps me out a lot with my son,” said Adams. “I have learned things here that I didn’t know how to do at home. It’s so much fun. Everyone has been so helpful. It [the food] lasts me quite a while.”

The program also gives her time away from her son who’s cared for by the Ontario Early Years Centre upstairs at the Civic Centre.

“It’s a bonus. I get to hang out with people I don’t normally hang out [with],” said Adams.

The Early Years Centre is a partner and provides childcare while moms and caregivers are downstairs.

Adams says the program has helped her become more able in interpreting recipes and improvising, a key ingredient to spicing up the fun while cooking.

“Here I can get direction on what to do and how to do it so when I go home I can do them.”

The program has also given her tips on how to sneak more meat into her son’s diet.

Lori Fife saw the program advertised on Facebook and decided to sign up. She and her son have a busy schedule and she says they were “getting into the habit of eating out of the box, quick and easy.”

Getting back to basics and “real food,” is her goal.

Kitchens are natural social hubs, says Stuckless.

Everyone comes for different reasons and all leave with healthy meals prepared and greater confidence, she says.

For some it’s being able to tackle a recipe, for others it’s knowing that “cooking is flexible” and that “you can make it your own.”

“It doesn’t have to be exactly as it is on paper.”

The health benefits from cooking from scratch are significant, says Stuckless, and they talk about nutrition charts, label reading, sodium reduction and healthy serving sizes.

The program runs the first Friday of the month. For more information or to register call the HKPR at 1-866-888-4577.

News - Hastings - Robin Murphy is settling in nicely at the Hastings Community Care office.

Murphy, part of the Community Care Northumberland (CCN) team for the past four years as transportation scheduler and administrative assistant with the Trent Hills office is filling in for Hastings office administrator Sarah McKeown who is on a year-long maternity leave.

In the Trent Hills office Robin was the full-time scheduler with CCN’s Specialized Transportation service which provides accessible and rural route transportation cross the county.

“It’s been really nice,” says Murphy.

“It’s a whole change for me because UI was just doing transportation. I’ve gone out to Diners and met a lot of interesting people and got input on changes they’d like to see through this office.

“I’m getting familiar with Hastings and taking the opportunity to talk to as many people as I can to find out more about the community,” she added.

Murphy has a diploma in Community Social Service and a number of years working in customer service in the Ottawa area and is excited about her stint in Hastings.

“My hope for the year is to be able to increase our volunteer pool and promote our services so we are able to provide more services to more people,” she said.

Murphy says its “awesome” that everything is centralized at the Hastings Civic Centre which is completely accessible and also houses the Ontario Early Years Centre,

the Hastings Public Library and has a big hall that is a mecca for exercise programs offered by Community Care.

The exercise programs, which include line dancing, yoga, belly dancing and hula hooping, are flourishing.

“They are constantly growing,” says Murphy. The more we can get the word out about them the more we can get people in here taking advantage of that. I promote that to anyone who will listen to me.”

She encourages anyone interested in the Civic Centre ex-

ercise programs to drop in and see what they’re all about.

“The ladies downstairs are quite willing to let them check out what they do.”

CCN executive director Trish Baird says volunteers and clients in Hastings will enjoy working with Murphy.

“Robin brings a lot of client service experience to the Hastings office,” says Baird.

Good luck to have potluck

Egypt under Sisi

Editorial - The “Islamic State” franchise in Libya, which is emerging as the main winner in that country’s chaotic civil war, published a video on Sunday showing 21 Egyptian men in orange overalls being forced to the ground and beheaded. The video made it clear that they were being killed for beGwynne Dyer ing Christian, “people of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian church.”

Within hours the Egyptian air force responded with raids on IS camps and training sites in Derna, the group’s headquarters in eastern Libya. Announcing the safe return of all the aircraft, the Egyptian military authorities declared: “Let those far and near know that Egyptians have a shield that protects them.” But it didn’t really protect them, did it?

Okay, that’s not fair. Everybody knows that you can’t protect people once they fall into the hands of the jihadi head-choppers. An air force is a particularly unsuitable tool for that job, nor can anyone stop unemployed Egyptian labourers from seeking work even in war-torn Libya. Most of the victims came from a dirt-poor Christian village in Upper Egypt, and they had to feed their families somehow.

So the Islamic State fanatics murdered them because that is effective propaganda for a certain demographic where they are seeking recruits. Then the Egyptian air force flailed out aimlessly, and the public relations boys wrote the usual guff about the air force being a shield for the people. So far, so tediously normal–but the whole event also serves the narrative of the Egyptian military regime.

We’re not supposed to call it a military regime.

The military coup (with substantial popular support) that overthrew the elected president, Mohamed Morsi, in July 2013, was allegedly just a brief detour from democracy. But the commander of the armed forces, General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, ended up as president, and the promised parliamentary elections have still not happened.

Why not? The main excuse Egyptians are offered is that the government is too busy fighting the huge terrorist threat Egypt faces. And don’t mention that the terrorism is largely the regime’s own fault, or that the threat is not so big that normal political life must be suspended. People who say that have featured prominently among the 40,000 who have been arrested since July 2013. (16,000 are still in prison.)

What happened in Egypt twenty months ago was a betrayal of the democratic revolution of February 2011, when peaceful demonstrators forced former

general Hosni Mubarak out of the presidency after 30 years in power. Few of the urban, relatively well educated revolutionaries on Tahrir Square supported the Muslim Brotherhood, but they should not have been surprised when it won the first free election.

Ninety per cent of Egyptians are Muslims, and most of them are deeply conservative rural people.

They remembered that the Muslim Brotherhood had been Egypt’s main opposition party during the decades of dictatorship. They shared many of its values, and many of them had benefited from its social programs for the poor.

They reckoned the Brothers deserved the first go in power, and gave it their votes. More secular people were appalled when a Muslim Brotherhooddominated constituent assembly amended the constitution to give it a more religious slant, although the changes were not actually all that extreme. And they forgot that in a democracy, you can change the government by voting it out. You just have to wait for the next election.

Victory in the first post-revolution election was a poisoned apple for the Muslim Brotherhood. Every day its behaviour in power was alienating more people. The economy was a wreck (and still is). But it was not making irreversible changes in Egypt, so the right strategy was to wait it out, and then vote it out.

Instead, the naive and impatient revolutionaries made an alliance with the army to drive the elected government from power. Did they think that the army, despite 60 years of military dictators in Egypt, was a secret ally of democracy? So General Sisi accepted their support, took over the government in 2013, and put President Morsi in jail. Shortly afterwards, he began putting the revolutionaries in jail too.

But Sisi needs some excuse for destroying Egypt’s democratic revolution, and the excuse is terrorism, the bigger the better. He declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation, and when tens of thousands of non-violent supporters of the Brotherhood established a protest camp in Rabaa Square in Cairo he cleared it by force, killing at least 627 people by the government’s own count.

Human Rights Watch has documented at least 817 deaths, and suspects there were more than a thousand. It was, said an HRW report last August, a premeditated assault equal to or worse than the massacre of Chinese protesters on Tienanmen Square in Beijing in 1989. The purpose, as in 1989, was to cow the population into submission, and it is working in Egypt as well as it did in China.

But a bit of terrorism also helps to distract attention at home and abroad from what actually happened in Egypt. Even before the ghastly slaughter of innocent Egyptians in Libya on Sunday, the U.S. Congress had put military aid to Egypt back into this year’s budget proposal.

By Terry Bush Editorial - Some people cringe at the word while others smile from ear to ear. I’m happy to say that I’m in the latter category because when my wife asked me if I wanted to go to a Valentine’s Day “potluck” in our neighbourhood, I tried my best not to smile too much lest a little drool escape my mouth. Drooling is never a good look for a man.

Considering we start our lives with wet faces and some of us will also end up that way, it’s best that any drooling done in middle age be left to the privacy of one’s own bedroom and pillow.

My fondness for potluck suppers is both a result of my small town upbringing and a regular date I had early in life. Anyone raised in a rural community knows well enough the fun of a neighbourhood get together. Because my great grandparents had a flock of kids, we also enjoyed a regular potluck Bush picnic held usually at the home of Jack and Joan Bush on the Trent River. It was there I first experienced the joy of unlimited food, unlimited cousins and best of all, unlimited desserts lovingly prepared by the women folk. Back then it was rare to see the men do more than peel the odd potato to help out in the meal department. The only exception was barbecuing, though I’ve never really figured out how men thought they were the sex most qualified to cook meat over an open flame when women did such a fine job the other eight months of the year.

And fudge of course. While the male members of my family were usually too busy doing chores around the farm to help out with the meals, my father and uncles managed to find time to make fudge for every special occasion. And they were good at it.

It almost seemed like a competition of sorts and if a batch didn’t turn out exactly as expected, the passing of the plate often came with a disclaimer giving the exact reason it wasn’t perfect. To small kids, it all tasted great.

My regular date for a potluck came once a year, when our neighbour Harry Waite would ask if he could borrow me for the annual father and son potluck supper at the United Church. The Waites had no sons, and my parents had a few spares lying around so they volunteered me for the first year and they didn’t have to twist my arm after that. The potluck was always great and with no limit on pie, one little Bush boy always came home stuffed and happy.

Potluck suppers seem to me to be more of a rural experience though I’m sure everyone pitches in at group suppers in the “Big Smoke” as well. I’m

basing that statement on a few conversations with some city in-laws who don’t quite get the concept.

When we used to have an annual corn roast at our old place, we’d supply the corn, some salads and a few other things to eat and leave the rest to the people attending. What should we bring, some city dwellers would say. It’s potluck, we’d say. But what should we bring they’d respond.

Lost on them were both the concept and the meaning of the word. They didn’t quite get the fact that people would just bring whatever dish they wanted to bring and if it was taking place in a country setting, chances are people would bring a main dish and a dessert. The fun is in seeing what arrives. If you tell everyone what to bring, then what does luck have to do with it?

At our corn roasts we were always lucky enough to have some entertainment. When contacted, one of our regular pickers would ask, “Did you invite the local farm ladies?” When I said yes, he’d always say, “Count us in then; farm ladies mean homemade pie.”

The trick to a really great potluck supper is when people think outside the box and bring something they know nobody else will bring. My wife Mare likes to live on the edge, so for this supper she brought out the Junior Women’s Institute cookbook she has stashed away for just such an occasion. The living on the edge part comes in when you realize that the event was put on by the local Women’s Institute, so there was that distinct possibility that someone else might bring the same thing. She was safe with her fancy sounding peas and onions au gratin and after we were done filling ourselves, she was happy she didn’t go with the macaroni and cheese she’d first considered making. That’s one menu item you can always count on at one of these suppers along with scalloped potatoes. And I must admit that I did go up for seconds because I love scalloped potatoes and mac and cheese.

So while we munched away at our neighbourhood potluck, some of us got joking about going to the Queensborough potluck the next day. I’m not sure if the other couples made it but we decided to go to Belleville to go shopping instead. The thought of another great home-cooked meal weighed heavy on my mind though and I seem to recall dabbing at the corner of my mouth once or twice. We ended up at North China Buffet. Not potluck but in a pinch, it was the next best thing.

Youth council proposal impresses mayor

By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - A proposal for the creation of a youth council in Asphodel-Norwood has impressed Mayor Terry Low. The proposal was given to Mayor Low by Nolan Fluke, a Grade 8 student at Norwood District Public School. Nolan also participated in Peterborough Rotary Club’s World Town Planning Day symposium with three other NDPS students, high school students, university undergraduate and graduate students, professional planners and municipal officials.

“When I was at your town council meeting you said: ‘You are the future of this town even if you think you’re not.’

Those words really inspired me to try to help the town and a youth council was given serious thought,” Nolan said in his letter to the mayor.

“This was my plan to help the community and all I wanted to know was if someone like your worship could help make Nolan Fluke, a Grade 8 student at Norwood District Public School shown here during a presentation my dream possible,” he said. on the Rotary Club of Peterborough’s World Planning Day visit to Asphodel-Norwood, would like to The youth council, he said, would see a youth council created in the township and has approached Mayor Terry Low to talk about the come together occasionally to discuss isidea. Photo: Bill Freeman sues much like municipal council does.

The mayor would be invited to sit on the council to offer professional guidance and to hear what youth have to say.

“You will give youth in this town an opportunity to learn responsibility and small-town politics,” Nolan said. “It will give them a good feeling to know they are making change in town.”

Nolan expanded on his ideas to The Independent articulating his vision of the youth council.

“This council can have a big effect in the community,” he said. “I believe this council can help this community in big ways.”

Making the township a youth-friendly community could encourage young families to move to Asphodel-Norwood, he said.

“Our role will be positive and the council [will] make sure it stays positive,” he stressed.

“We will be the voice of the youth,” he said. “Since youth need a voice we will become that voice. We will be role models for younger people and possibly inspire them to join the council when [they’re] old enough or make changes in the community their own way. But above all we will represent the community itself [and] prove youth are responsible and help make a youth-friendly community.”

Nolan said the council will do a lot of brainstorming for ideas and “once we have ideas [will] work with them until we have one big awesome idea we can use and make happen.”

It will be youth-driven with ideas coming from all sectors with the main goal of making the community more youthfriendly always in mind, Nolan said.

There are lots of things they can initiate, he said, like sports tourneys, writing competitions, spelling bees, skateboarding and scootering competitions.

“Fun functions like this are things that can be discussed and brought into action.”

Nolan is optimistic that local youth can play a positive role in the life of the community and have much to contribute.

Mayor Low’s interest has been has been piqued.

“This is something for council to think about. I would really like to think about what this young man is suggesting. He is a very intelligent young man,” said Low. “It’s really encouraging to see young people take an interest in the place that they live,” Low said during Nolan’s earlier appearance as part of the planning delegation.

Difficult task ahead for hospital in trying to balance budget

By John Campbell

News - Campbellford - After realizing a surplus of $200,440 in 2013-2014, and now facing a small deficit in its current fiscal year, Campbellford Memorial Hospital might have to resort to layoffs to balance its budget for 2015-2016.

President and CEO Brad Hilker raised that possibility in his report to the board of directors last week, warning balancing the budget will be “a difficult task with ongoing inflationary pressures” and the need to invest in services “that meet the needs of our communities.” As a result, the hospital will need to “continually review” its staffing levels.

“We are working with the union [CUPE Local 2247] to determine the

The Peterborough Regional Health Centre has been providing the service locally once a month. It involves a multidisciplinary team that includes a nurse practitioner, a physiotherapist, an occupational therapist, and a pharmacist, among others, who provide comprehensive assessments and plans of care for frail seniors.

“It’s been very beneficial to our patients,” in addressing their complex needs, president/CEO Brad Hilker told the hospital’s board of directors last week.

Hospital GAINs approval “Recruitment is under way with the Campbellford has been given the goahead to create a Geriatric Assessment program to be up and running in the next and Intervention Network (GAIN) pro- few months,” he said in his report.

Board treasurer Pat Sheridan told directors the hospital will “probably end up” with a deficit of about $20,000 on an $18.6-million operating budget by the time the 2014-2015 fiscal year comes to an end March 31.

“We’re still in pretty good shape,” he said. There’s “not too much concern around the financial side.”

Changes to make CMH more senior friendly, and secure Hilker also reported a number of renovations will be carried out in the next two months to make the hospital environment “more senior friendly.” The work, to be done with one-time funding provided by the LHIN, includes making an accessible washroom and installing better handrails.

Security cameras have been installed along with signage “to let everyone know” of their presence.

“Policies and procedures are being developed based on protocols at other hospitals,” Hilker stated.

Community development officer talks about new plan for economic development for the municipality said Lynn Phillips, News - Trent Hills - A new Economic community development officer for Development Strategic Plan is being Trent Hills.

Returning to her role following a madeveloped this year and that is a priority ternity leave and a contract position as co-ordinator of Human Resources for Trent Hills, she talked with the Independent about her current projects and priorities.

As part of the new strategic plan, data from a Business Retention and Expansion project, now in its final stages, “will be very useful,” she noted.

“Approximately 100 local businesses have been surveyed by municipal staff and volunteers,” she explained. “The intent of this project is to identify trends and opportunities for the Trent Hills business community.”

This project itself is being done in Lynn Phillips, community development officer for partnership with the Ontario Ministry Trent Hills, spoke about projects for 2015 which of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs include updating the new Economic Develop- (OMAFRA).

tegic plan, information gathered such as through the survey will be used.

The previous strategic plan covered the period from 2010 to 2013.

“We try to always have an Economic Development Strategic Plan which guides us as to how we spend, where we put our resources and put our time and money. It identifies where the priorities are,” she said.

In the last plan, for example, the municipality worked with partners for the Trans Canada Trail.

“That project has come a long way in the last three years,” said Phillips, who added that the next initiative is signage which “will guide people on the trail.”

The strategic plan, she pointed out, “Is a positive document … it builds on what we currently have.”

She talked about the Downtown Community Improvement Plan which reflects the vision of the community for the community improvement project ar-

eas and establishes revitalization goals and priorities for action.

“The current Downtown Community Improvement Plan is an incentive for property owners, for downtown businesses to assist in façade improvement and make businesses more accessible,” explained Phillips.

“It is important the local businesses know there is assistance available from the municipal office. The community improvement plan continues to be a successful program for property owners in the downtown areas of Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth,” she added.

Assistance is also routinely provided to businesses looking to expand or seeking funding assistance from government sources.

Another area that is important to the municipality is the industrial (business) park. “We do field a lot of inquiries about it,” said Phillips.

There are currently approximately

ten acres available for development in the latest phase of the Campbellford Business Park.

“Our hope is that now that Geco [Industries] has located there it will lead to others,” she said.

A new project under way is the Campbellford Revitalization Committee.

It is comprised of a cross-section of business representatives from the areas of large retail, small business, culture and events, health, and the non-profit sector as well as representation from the Campbellford BIA and Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce.

“Both Hastings and Warkworth have successful revitalization committees that are the model for this Campbellford initiative,” said Phillips.

The first task of the Campbellford committee will be to develop their mandate and identify projects and areas of priority for the town.

Skipping extravaganza will help kids with heart disease and she leads a normal, healthy and athletic life.

“The reason why we raise money through Jump Rope is to help kids with sick hearts,” says Heart and Stroke Foundation area co-ordinator Sara Lunn.

“We want to concentrate on heart health, we want to keep kids active, 60 minutes a day definitely,” Lunn told The Independent.

Part of what they do, she says, is to remind healthy children that not all kids are able to do what they can do.

“Molly’s story helps them relate. Sometimes they’re not sure why they are raising the money. We really focus on keeping healthy but also helping kids become healthier.”

cil last week, will see it billed $2,644,363 for the first year (2015), compared to an estimate of $2,976,871 for 2014.

“This is really good news for us,” Rutter told council, but “it will take us some time in order to achieve our full savings.”

That’s because the police force put a cap on how much of an increase or decrease in policing costs municipalities will experience immediately to smooth out the overall impact of the new billing model.

Major changes will be phased in.

“We’re not sure how long it will be at this point but we’re certainly heading in the right direction,” Rutter said.

The CAO said he respects the work done by police services boards and the “important governance and oversight responsibility” they have, but the difference in policing Trent Hills and Brighton “is not significant.

“So I’m not sure why we need a bunch of police services boards. It just adds to

the complexity [and] costs” of policing, he said.

And while Trent Hills pays its board members a $500 annual stipend, “some municipalities pay significantly more than that,” and possibly larger conference budgets as well, Rutter said.

Another area where “there may be some value in streamlining” is not having senior management at the local OPP detachment attend seven police services boards on a regular basis, he added.

He was told by the former detachment commander “the savings could be significant.”

Both Councillor Rosemary KelleherMacLennan and Mayor Hector Macmillan expressed concern that Trent Hills could end up paying more for policing with a shared service agreement.

“The last thing I would want to see coming out of this process is we would be helping to subsidize another munici-

pality’s costs if we’re already doing our own at a lower rate,” Macmillan said.

“We would crunch the numbers and see what that could be,” said Rutter, noting there are “a lot of variables until you actually know who you’re dancing with.”

He said would likely bring back a staff report to council at some point “asking

for direction” on what it would like to see happen.

The idea of county-wide policing has been studied before but the municipalities couldn’t reach a consensus, after lengthy talks that were “painfully brutal,” said Macmillan, who was warden of Northumberland at the time.

News - Trent Hills - The new billing model for OPP services has resulted in substantially lower policing costs for Trent Hills but the opportunity is there for even more savings, through a countywide or multi-municipality contract, says Trent Hills’ CAO. Mike Rutter told council February 3 the option was discussed briefly at a meeting of Northumberland County’s chief administrative officers and “there was generally some interest” but it’s a matter that requires extensive study.

He said “policing conversations tend to be very complex,” but Trent Hills should find out “if there are other municipalities out there who would be willing to partner.”

The “possibility is worth pursuing in the longer term,” he said in a staff report that stated the municipality’s five-year contract with the OPP, approved by coun-

are sometimes born with sick hearts and that they’re not always so lucky,” says Lunn.

Jump Rope and the Heart and Stroke Foundation also teach youngsters what they can do today to make sure their hearts remain healthy and strong into adulthood and that includes physical activity, nutrition and staying tobacco-free.

Physical activity is critical, says Lunn, but it can be a challenge to get that message across to a generation happier in front of video screens than outside running around.

“When I was younger there was a lot more emphasis on going outside and playing. We were outside until the streetlights came on. Now kids go home and play video games. They’re completely sedentary and it’s not healthy so we really want to focus on staying active.”

Fundraising dollars go into research, outreach and helping to get more AEDs (automated external defibrillator) into public spaces.

News - Hastings - When students at Hastings Public School take part in a mass skipping rope extravaganza later this month they’ll be thinking of kids like Molly and others their own age who’ve been afflicted with heart disease and undergone surgeries and now lead normal lives.

HPS is preparing for this year’s Jump Rope For Heart fundraiser in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation and hopes to collect $1,200 for the cause.

The money raised goes toward research specifically dedicated to research into childhood heart disease and youth physical activity.

The reason they do it is to help youngsters like Molly. The 13-year-old was born with a hole in her left artery and was one of the fortunate four per cent able to have open heart surgery for a “one-time repair” done to correct the life-threatening defect.

If she’d not had the surgery Molly would have faced the prospect of a heart and lung transplant at some point in her life. Her post-birth surgery was successful

12 Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, February 19, 2015

Probus members given overview of what’s happening at CMH News - Campbellford - A look at the past, present and future, spanning what Campbellford Memorial Hospital has done, is doing, and will do “to make things better” for its patients, was presented to members of Trent Hills Probus last week.

CEO/president Brad Hilker said CMH is working on a master plan to prepare for a future 20 to 40 years from now, taking into account projections of growth in the community and the infrastructure that will be needed for the services that will be offered.

“Do we renovate our current facility, do we build a build a new facility?”

He pointed out current patient rooms are half the size they should be according to current standards, and 80 per cent of them should be private, to deal with infection control issues.

The hospital continues to look at opportunities within the operating room.

One of the things it’s been working on is trying to recruit an ear and throat specialist who can perform some surgical procedures for children.

Opened in 1953, and enlarged with additions in 1970 and 1987, “our building is pretty old but we take good care of it,” Hilker said. Two issues will need to be

addressed over the next couple of years, the roof over the wing built in 1987, and the retaining wall.

CMH serves approximately 30,000 residents in three counties– Northumberland, Peterborough and Hastings–and half of them live outside Northumberland.

The emergency department handles approximately 20,000 visits a year.

Numerous specialists in areas ranging from urology to orthopedics to gerontology travel to the hospital to see local patients, and new services are being added regularly, with recent additions including dermatology and a sleep lab.

In 2013-2014, nearly 1,050 inpatients were provided services, more than 1,800 surgical procedures were performed, and about 1,515 CT exams completed.

Hilker said several of the hospital’s accomplishments were made possible with the support of the community and the efforts of its foundation, which raised $888,300 in 2014. The money was used to purchase priority medical equipment, including a digital mammography machine ($550,000), orthoscopic equipment ($190,000), an echocardiography machine ($140,000) and an anesthetic machine ($140,000).

Staff looked at the hospital’s processes and procedures for surgery and made improvements that enabled services to be provided in three days that once were done in five.

“That’s an amazing accomplishment, a forty per cent improvement in productivity,” Hilker said. “It means we can offer more services,” so patients can be seen and diagnosed “in a timely manner.”

Bringing together the finance departments at the hospital and Community Care Northumberland realized savings of $40,000, which will be reinvested in patient care, Hilker said.

“We’ve seen some significant improvements in wait times in our emergency department,” which can be attributed to a nurse practitioner being on duty six days a week during peak times, he said.

Judith Pearce, a CMH board member for nine years, said, “the hospital has always been great but they have made so many positive changes and brought in so many new programs and work so hard there is not a better hospital anywhere.

“We are so fortunate to have this hospital in our community,” she said.

“It’s marvellous what they do and how

More darts from council for Highway 7 winter work News - Havelock - Just weeks after entertaining a Ministry of Transportation delegation and days after another storm slammed the area, Havelock-BelmontMethuen council has fired off another salvo criticizing winter maintenance work along Highway 7.

“Somebody has to keep the pressure on the ministry so the minister knows that the level of service is just not satisfactory,” Mayor Ron Gerow said.

Mayor Gerow told council that following an earlier storm he was able to talk to Peterborough MPP and Minister of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs Jeff Leal about the municipality’s concerns over the highway’s winter upkeep and said the complaint was passed directly on to Transport Minister Steven Del Duca.

The storm that hit the area the weekend of February 7 was a “tough storm,” Gerow acknowledged.

“I know there were a lot of issues,” he said.

Still, Mayor Gerow found it worrisome that there were “traces of ice” on the road a full day and a-half later.

“The minister did say he wanted to hear from us,” he noted. “I think we need to speak to them.

“I think we [should] write another letter about the two big storms in February and the roads not being in an

acceptable condition.”

Martin argued that the use of just one CAO Pat Kemp told council that on piece of equipment with a tow plow to a recent trip to Peterborough she saw a cover a long circuit is not effective nor “comparatively different” level of road efficient. maintenance in the Havelock area and “Before they had two split up at on Highway 28 north to Apsley.

Council wants to extend meeting times finish their open session by noon rather than going overtime but noted that so far they haven’t been able to do that.

Millett wanted his council colleagues to consider an extension to 1 p.m. or 2 p.m. “with the hope that we’re going to be out of here at noon.”

Council often goes into a closed caucus following the open public portion so it becomes a long day for councillors and municipal officials.

“Myself, I don’t ever want to go

over. It’s ridiculous,” said Millett who also wondered if they would consider restricting the number of delegations and be stricter when it comes to the enforcing speaking time allowed during those presentations.

“We spent one hour on three tenminute delegations,” an exasperated Millett said.

There were delegations from the Peterborough County-City Health Unit, Peterborough Social Services and

Municipality wants to reduce minimum square footage for new homes

By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - In a move they hope will spark interest from young families and seniors, Asphodel-Norwood plans to reduce the minimum square footage for new homes built in the municipality.

The move was prompted by a discussion township staff had with a local developer who felt decreasing the minimum requirement would stimulate buying interest from younger families and seniors looking to downsize and relocate in Asphodel-Norwood.

The bylaw the township is considering would reduce the minimum square footage to no less than 70 square metres (750 square feet) for a bungalow or 100 square metres (1,100 square feet) of total floor space for two storeys.

“Those are quite small sizes,” Township CAO Joe van Koeverden said. “[The developer] seems to believe he needs that kind of size to attract seniors and young families to the community.”

In the current bylaw the

minimum building requirement is 1,100 square feet.

Deputy-mayor Rodger Bonneau said it was important to keep the township competitive with neighbouring municipalities.

“Let’s compare [ourselves] to everyone that’s building around us,” he said. “I don’t necessarily agree with a small house for seniors with a second storey; they’d have to climb stairs. But to be in line with other municipalities we should take a look at this. Let’s move forward as soon as possible.”

“I think in the long run younger families would be apt to move into something smaller and more affordable,” Bonneau said.

Bonneau added that the basement in the smaller homes could be repurposed as children grow up to provide additional space for them.

Chief Building Official Ed Whitmore said he’d like to “research” what

the city of Peterborough has in place and “be competitive” with the city.

The deputy-mayor agreed that Asphodel-Norwood needs to “be in tune and in line with what Peterborough is doing” as well as nearby rural municipalities.

Councillor Roy Millett said he would be prepared to change it to 1,000 square feet.

A report on the proposed bylaw change will be prepared and presented to council.

Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal during council’s last regular meeting. There were three long delegations at council’s first meeting of 2015 and one during its second meeting of the new year.

Mayor Terry Low said Councillor Millett made some “good points.”

“I think five hours is a long time,” added Deputy-mayor Rodger Bonneau.

“I don’t think that we need to spend five hours; two to three-and-a-half would be lots.”

News - Norwood - The United Way of Peterborough will offer its Backpacks for Kids program in Asphodel-Norwood for the upcoming school year and has asked council if they’d like to chip in to help support the program.

The United Way is asking for $285 to help cover off some of the costs of the backpacks which contain school supplies for both elementary, intermediate and high school students. Last year the United Way of Peterborough and District distributed over 1,000 backpacks to students across their catchment area.

Asphodel-Norwood CAO

Joe van Koeverden passed along the United Way request to township council asking if there was “any interest from individuals or council to make a donation.”

Deputy-mayor Rodger Bonneau wondered if this was something local service organizations could be involved in.

In 2012-2013 it cost $16 to fill a backpack for an elementary student and $19 for an intermediate or high school student. All of the school supplies that are purchased are bought wholesale; many of the items are also donated to the program by companies like Staples and Walmart.

Township wants to help backpacks program

By Bill Freeman

Millett wondered if an 8:30 a.m. start would be helpful. That suggestion won less support than the 1 p.m. extension.

Mayor Low acknowledged that they needed to be “forceful” when dealing with overlong delegations.

“That’s up to us,” he said.

Staff will prepare a report on what changes would be needed to be made to the procedural bylaw to accommodate the proposed extension and vote change.

News - Norwood - Township council would like to extend its regular open session meeting times by one hour.

It would also like to use a simple majority vote rather than a unanimous vote to extend past 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. if necessary.

“I just don’t like us running out of time,” said Councillor Roy Millett who proposed the extension. Millett would much rather see the 9 a.m. meetings

Natural fertilizers loaded with nutrients and minerals Lawn and garden enthusiasts know a handful of items are essential to maintain a healthy landscape. Water, sunshine and the proper nutrients all work in concert to promote a healthy lawn. Although nutritional material is inherent in the soil, many gardeners feel soil must be amended with some sort of fertilizer to give plants a healthy boost.

All-natural fertilizers are growing in popularity, and home gardeners have a variety of such products at their disposal.

Ambitious homeowners can even create their own all-natural fertilizers from items around the house. Organic fertilizers, or those that are derived from living organisms and not manufacturered through chemicals, can provide sufficient nutrients and minerals to grow healthy plants.

A Special Thank You To All The Farmers For Your Loyalty And Dedication

The waste from herbivores (animals that feed on grass), including rabbits, horses and cows, can make super fertilizers.

Some gardeners shy away from manure because they believe it to be an odoriferous, dirty product. The best produced manures are allowed to compost for at least nine months and are mixed with hay or straw. They should not produce an offensive odor and will provide plants with a host of nutrients. Never use manures from meat-eating animals, like dogs, cats or humans. Feces can harbor a lot of bacteria, which can be transfered to the garden soil.

Fish and seaweed Improving soil nutrients may be as simple as looking to the ocean or other bodies of water. Fish emulsion, a mixture of ground fish and water, is a good nitrogen source. Nitrogen gives plants the energy to grow. Seaweed, which is actually a type of algae, contains the primary nutrients that plants need in order to thrive, including phosphorous, nitrogen and potassium. It also serves as a food for natural bacteria that break down nutrients into the soil, making them easier for plants to absorb.

Worms

Northumberland - Quinte West

16 Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, February 19, 2015

In order to store energy and reach maturity, plants need phosphate. This mineral is released over a long period of time from finely ground rock. However, a faster way to supply it to the landscape is through bone meal. Bone meal is a mixture of finely and coarsely ground animal bones that are a waste product from meat-processing plants. Adding bone meal to soil is one of the most effective ways to increase phosphorous levels.

Manure

RICK NORLOCK, MP

Earthworms are vital to soil health. They burrow and wiggle around in the dirt, helping to aerate the soil. But the castings, or waste, of the worms also provide valuable nutrients to the soil. The castings contain beneficial microorganisms from the worms' digestive system that help break down organic matter into a form that plant roots can use. Many gardeners participate in vermicomposting, or farming worms in order to use their castings as fertilizer.

Compost Compost can also be used as fertilizer. Gardeners can make their own compost from discarded materials. Compost is one of the most widely used soil amendments in vegetable gardens. Yard refuse, fruit and vegetable peelings, eggshells, coffee grounds, and other items can be added to a compost pile. Natural bacteria will slowly break down these materials into a product dubbed "black gold." Compost can be mixed into soil before planting and used as a dressing after plants have been established.

Gardeners can experiment with different ratios of fertilizer to create a mix that enhances the soil. Test the soil to determine which, if any, nutrients the soil is lacking so the fertilizer can be adjusted accordingly.

Feed for every need.

But subtle shifts in dietary habits and trends can decrease mortality rates and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions resulting from food production. Adopting alternative diets that feature a higher ratio of fish, whole grains and locally grown produce can greatly reduce an individual's carbon footprint.

The "New Nordic Diet" is one example of a growing dietary trend that has the potential to improve the health of humans and the environment. So says Henrik Saxe, an associate professor who specializes in sustainability at Copenhagen University. Researchers found a reduction in greenhouse gases of at least 6 percent with the New Nordic Diet, as compared to typical diets in Denmark.

The following are a few ways average men and women can eat to promote their own health while simultaneously protecting the environment. · Adopt climate-friendly eating habits that rely on more domestic, in-season foods. · Cut down on meat consumption. · Avoid seafood harvested from fish farms which can negatively impact your own health and marine life. · Grow your own fruits and vegetables. · Shop at local markets that support nearby farms and farmer's markets. · Purchase products with the least amount of packaging.

The growing reliance on processed foods may be hurting humans and the planet they call home. Processed foods tend to be loaded with starches and preservatives, increasing consumers' risk of diabetes and being obese. In addition, many prepackaged foods are shipped from faraway processing plants, and vast amounts of fuel must be consumed for products to get from those plants to local grocery stores.

Welcome to Campbellford Farm Supply Ltd. We are a family run business that offers a full menu of products and professional services to the livestock feeder, the cash cropper and the rural resident. We specialize in matching a customized feed to the needs of your particular operation to meet your performance and price requirements either through our onsite mill or through Purina’s extensive line of Feed Products.

Having worked in this field for almost a decade Primavesi said she has noticed a shift toward getting an earlier diagnosis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Years ago families didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about dementia,â&#x20AC;? she commented.

And there is more hope for those suffering with the disease and for their caregivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are now some medications that can treat the symptoms that work better the earlier you start them,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest change Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen is the number of services available for the person with the illness and how proactive those people are being, saying yes I have this diagnosis but this does not define me and I am going to live a full life as much as I can and this is what I need your help with.â&#x20AC;?

Primavesi wants to let the public know the society provides education and support to people living with the illness, to family or friends and caregivers.

A Warm Welcome Awaits You!

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free and no referrals are needed.

There are as well support groups that meet every month in Campbellford and anyone interested in learning more about which one is appropriate for their needs is asked to contact the society at its Peterborough office by phoning 705748-5131 or 1-800-561-2588 or emailing <info@alzheimerjourney.ca>.

News - Campbellford - Volunteers, clients and caregivers attended a recent presentation hosted by Community Care Northumberland (CCN) about understanding dementia.

Diana Primavesi, public education co-ordinator with the Alzheimer Society of Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland and Haliburton, spoke to the group that attended this event held at the CCN office in Campbellford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping it is the first in a series of education sessions,â&#x20AC;? said Linda Ryan, program assistant.

During her PowerPoint presentation Primavesi tailored her talk to those attending, providing examples of situations they might encounter and what to do.

Her goal was to raise awareness and educate people on the many different forms of dementia and how to cope.

Providing some statistics to the group she said it is estimated that 747,000 Canadians have Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease or a related dementia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is also estimated that if a cure is not found 1.4 million Canadians will be diagnosed by the year 2031.â&#x20AC;?

Providing more statistics she said that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once people turn 65 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one in ten or eleven that will have some type of dementia and once they turn eighty, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one in three.â&#x20AC;?

Primavesiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation provided an overview of dementia and Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, the most common form of dementia, and talked about brain function,

By Bill Freeman

Entertainment - Norwood - They draw fans from as far away as Lindsay and east of Belleville and have members from just as far away and now the Donegal Fiddlers Orchestra is looking for new performers to join their popular ensemble.

The 13-year-old musical troupe has

made its mark across the region and even into Canada’s east coast during a tour but is especially at home at the Norwood Town Hall where they host monthly dances which fill the historic venue with guests who travel great distances to be part of the fun.

“The membership is for sure dynamic,” says bass player Ron Scott, one of

just two or three original members still playing with the ensemble. “New members keep stepping in and maintaining the number at around 20.”

The orchestra’s “unique format” draws members from east of Belleville to north of Buckhorn and “many points in between,” says Scott.

The Fiddlers have attracted some illustrious fans over the years and welcomed Canadian fiddler, star and musical iconoclast Ashley MacIsaac who jammed with the group during a superbly memorable 2012 Christmas show much to the delight of musicians and guests who were astounded by their good fortune to be in the hall that night.

The group has also been a keen supporter of local causes across the region performing at numerous fundraisers.

“The original organizers couldn’t have imagined that this many years later it would be such a dynamic and talented group,” says Scott.

For members, he says, it’s an “outlet

them play and that translates into dollars spent in communities on things like meals and fuel. Their fundraising shows are often done free or at a reduced charge and generate significant returns.

During 2014 alone they raised over $4,000 for charitable causes, Scott says.

They’ve performed in places like Campbellford, Brighton, Stanwood, Grafton, Baltimore, Tweed, Port Hope, Cold Springs, Peterborough, and Buckhorn and regularly in Norwood.

The concerts are lively and at the Norwood Town Hall guests are encouraged to get up and dance and they oblige quite willingly, happy to immerse themselves in a night of fiddle-driven music in the venerable town hall.

Anyone interested in joining the orchestra can phone 705-639-5530 or visit <www.donegalfiddlers.com> for more information. They could also attend a concert or visit the Norwood Town Hall the first Saturday of the month. Show time is 7 p.m.

Westwood tree project to get some municipal help

for musical skill.”

That means everything from a 70year-old conjuring up skills from years ago then adding some new things and “making retirement more meaningful” to a 16-year-old just starting out on stage.

“Membership provides a challenge with lots of fun and satisfaction as well as pleasant social times for a bonus,” Scott admits.

The range of ages, skills and instruments is quite varied, he adds. In addition to violin there are opportunities for viola, cello, guitar, bass, mandolin, percussion, flute, accordion and keyboards.

Musicians build on the skills they have and sharpen them through performance with the orchestra.

The Fiddlers have strong relationships with the communities they perform in, says Scott. That holds true for their fans and the causes they support during special events.

People travel great distances to watch

News - Westwood - The Westwood Enhancement Committee’s tree planting project will receive some additional help from the municipality in tending trees in need of care. The pledge comes as the committee applies for funding to cover the second phase of the project that if successful will see another 40 trees planted on public property in the hamlet During the first phase, 30 maple and oak trees were planted on public property away from the Centre Line and in the Westwood Park after the group received a $9,000 grant from TD Canada Trust.

The municipality administers the grant.

Many of those trees require extra care for watering, Terry Helmer of the Enhancement Committee says.

An agreement between Hydro One and Asphodel-Norwood allowed the planting at a 12-foot setback from the road and in line with the hydro poles on the north side of the Centre Line and east side of Thomas Street. Because of the height restrictions of the hydro wires only certain species were permitted on the north side.

No height restrictions are imposed on the south side west of Thomas Street.

The maintenance, watering and pruning of the trees was to be done by individual residents and that’s become an issue as not all trees have been properly tended, says Helmer.

About half the residents have taken responsibility for water maintenance (one-third of the trees) while the rest, including the municipality have not, he says.

“The trees, having lost some 70 per cent of their root structure in transplant, require particular care in their first years to re-establish,” he explained.

“Having to proctor, take over the watering, deal with resentment over reminders has become burdensome.

Though the ‘other side of the road’ resi-

dents and, I presume, the municipality would like to proceed with the second stage funding permitting we feel that without some dependable and comprehensive watering plan such as presently exists in Norwood it would not be reasonable to continue.

“Before applying for grant money it would be helpful to know if there could be some help from the municipality,” said Helmer.

“I’ve picked up the slack [as have] some other people in town. Some people are diligent and some are not,” Helmer added during council’s last meeting.

“It’s not that all people are delinquent but there is concern about who is going to look after those trees, just in their first year, so they can be established.”

“Since students take care of things here can they possibly come here?” he asked.

“It’s an ongoing thing. It would be nice to know there’d be some support from the municipality in this regard.”

Mayor Terry Low called the project “a very worthwhile cause” and agreed the municipality should look after its newly planted trees near the Westwood Library and others in need of care.

“If you’re going to get involved you’ve got to stand up and be counted too,” said Low. But he also worries about the municipality taking on responsibility for projects started by other groups.

“Right now it might be a small item but it may grow, that all impacts on our bottom line.”

The project’s goal is to “restore the original tree-scape of the village [which has] become bleak and treeless with highly visible and unsightly telephone and hydro wires dominating the entrance to the otherwise very attractive village,” says committee member and Trent University environmental science professor Tom Hutchinson. “It will take some years for the trees to grow up and hide the wires but it is a good start.”

Sports - Campbellford - It was a sweetheart of a day for not only the winners of the Ladies Valentine’s Bonspiel held at the curling club here last week, but for all the women who participated.

The overall winner of the one-day event was a Campbellford team led by skip Charlotte Martz, with teammates lead Judy Hodgins, second Doris Wellman and third Debbie Samoy.

Second spot went to a rink from Colborne which included Bonnie Arnold, Lynn Marshall, Sharon Dodds and Crystal Hearns.

A total of 16 teams competed in the fun event some from

and others from Brighton, Norwood, West Northumberland and Cobourg.

“It’s great to have our club featured with a lot of other clubs coming to this. We have a really nice mix this year. And every time people come in they appreciate what a great facility we have,” said the bonspiel organizer Nan MacDougall.

The hall had been decorated by a committee of club members the day prior to the bonspiel.

“We have a committee of five or six people who came in and decorated and did some food prep yesterday,” MacDougall noted.

“It’s a sea of red and everyone is all dressed up and in the mood,” she said grinning, as she looked out at the room filled with curling enthusiasts.

This event has been a favourite for the ladies for many years and most dress in red.

The bonspiel has a 30-year plus history here.

As part of the fun the male club members prepare a special lunch; this year it was quiche and salad and they serve it to the curlers.

“The men chip in and they love to do it,” said MacDougall.

Vipers drop weekend set

By Bill Freeman

Sports - Norwood - The Norwood J.J. Stewart Vipers will wrap up their Allan Cup Hockey League schedule on the road in Whitby this Saturday after losing a weekend set to the Brantford Blast and Stoney Creek Generals.

The Vipers (3-19-1) closed out their home schedule with a tight 6 - 4 Valentine’s Day loss to the impressive Blast (15-6-0-1), sitting in second place in the ACH and featuring two of the league’s top three scorers in Derek Medeiros and Joel Prpic then took it on the chin 14 - 4 in Stoney Creek (149-0).

Norwood and Brantford turned in an entertaining game for the loyal

Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre crowd with the Blast jumping out to an early 1 - 0 lead on a powerplay marker

by Chris Rebernik. Norwood evened the score two minutes later when Mark Prentice teamed up with captain Darren Doherty and Chris Johnston.

ACH scoring leader Medeiros struck 26 seconds later to give Brantford a 2 - 1 lead with Kevin Christmas adding a third goal at the 12:45 mark.

The visitors enlarged their lead with two goals in the first 11 minutes of the second period before Will Jones, from Joe Curry and Brendan Curry, notched a powerplay marker.

Former Boston Bruin Joel Prpic made it 6 - 2 early in the third period but

the Vipers continued to play hard and it paid off in a pair of goals from Curry.

Mike Hanna, Jones, Chris Johnston and Doherty picked up assists.

Once again the Vipers were on the wrong end of a deluge of pucks getting outshot 46 - 22 with goalie David DiGironimo playing strongly in net.

Things weren’t nearly as close in Stoney Creek despite Norwood’s early 1 - 0 lead on another goal by Brendan Curry at the 3:25 mark.

After that goal it was all Stoney Creek with the home team’s five straight goals to close out the first period, including a pair by former ACH scoring champ Mike Ruberto. Norwood jumped back into the game with a pair of goals to start the second period

Midget AE Hornets face must-win game

By Bill Freeman

Sports - Norwood - After dropping a 6 - 0 game to the Tweed Hawks the Norwood Midget AE Hornets faced a must-win fourth game in their OMHA playoff showdown.

The series has been a close one with each team winning 3 - 2 overtime games until the one-sided home ice shutout loss.

In game one, Tweed’s Shawn Franks opened the scoring early in the game from Jarod Lough but Norwood answered with 1:46 to play in the first on a powerplay marker by Tyler Barrons from Brad Smale.

Jacob MacDonald made it 2 - 1 for Norwood at the 13:41 mark of the second and the Hornets held that late into the game until Wes Shire, from Franks, knotted the score at 2 - 1 with 1:38 to play in regulation.

The Hawks completed the comeback midway through the extra frame with Matt Bell notching the winner.

Things unfolded much the same in game two except it was Norwood’s turn to snap in the game-tying goal late in the third period with Tyler Barrons, from Cody Barrons, evening the score at 2 - 2 with 2:02 left.

Tweed opened the scoring 17 seconds into the game with an Anthony Smith goal but Norwood evened it 44 seconds later with Barrons, from Mitchell Rogers, scoring.

Bell made it 2 - 1 for Tweed at the 6:94 mark of the second on a powerplay and the Hawks defended the lead until Barrons’ late-game heroics.

Jacob MacDonald capped the Hornets rally 1:38 into overtime on a powerplay with Smale picking

up an assist.

Coach Greg Hartwick says the key to the game two win was Norwood’s ability to kill off a two-man penalty that stretched for nearly four minutes with just one goal.

Defencemen Brandon Kerber and Brandon Hischer logged huge minutes during the penalty kill and were superb.

Game three was completely different with the Hawks dominating and Shawn Franks putting on a show with three straight shorthanded goals to give Tweed a 3 - 0 lead.

Goals by Andre Tyron, Wes Shire and Jarod Lough rounded out the scoring. Picking up assists were Kyle Cook, Franks, Matt Langevin, Gerri Wagner, Noah Lynch and Matt Bell.

Coach Hartwick said the game three loss was “painful to watch.”

Rebels open playoffs with game against the Raiders in Napanee

By John Campbell

Sports - Campbellford - The Campbellford Rebels, who came close to missing the playoffs with a three-game slide as the regular schedule wound down, rebounded with a pair of clutch wins to conclude the regular season and earn a ticket to post-season play.

That began Tuesday in Napanee and the best-of-seven series will return there Saturday before switching to Campbellford Sunday for a 7:30 p.m. match.

The team came up big last week by stunning the Port Hope Panthers 4 - 1 at home February 10 with a four-goal outburst in the second period against the runaway Empire B Junior C Hockey League regular season champions.

Port Hope finished the season with a record of 31-8-1, 18 points better than the Rebels and the Napanee Raiders, who tied for second.

Jon Samis, Jacob Bennett, William Lameroux and Colin Doyle all scored within eight minutes and goaltender Cole Mahoney blanked the visitors over the last two periods to secure the win over the Panthers, who outshot the home side 40 - 26.

“We were pretty strong all the way through, we had a real

good stretch in the second period and took the game over,” coach Ken Chesher said. “Something seemed to click that night and they just carried it right over into the next game.”

That took place one night later when Campbellford followed up its crucial win by downing the Pirates in Picton 5 - 3 to finish the season.

Three of its goals came on the power play; the team was given 11 opportunities in total.

Samis with a pair, Lameroux, Doyle, and Ethan McDougall scored for Campbellford.

Mahoney stopped 32 shots.

“We got off to a good start in Picton,” getting ahead 3 - 0, Chesher said, despite being in “a tough spot”–playing the fourth game in five nights against a home team that was rested.

“It was a pretty big achievement to beat them.”

Napanee and Campbellford finished the season tied for second with identical records, 22-17-1, but the Raiders earned home advantage for the best-ofseven match-up, having won the season series 5 - 3.

Campbellford boasts two of the league’s top scorers in Jeremiah Doherty, who finished second with 32 goals and 20

assists, two ahead of Doyle, who placed fourth with 18 goals and 32 assists.

Napanee has two players in the top 10: No. 7, Austin Boulard, 19 goals and 27 assists, and No. 10, Keenan Murray, 19 goals and 24 assists.

The Raiders finished with better overall stats, scoring 182 goals while giving up 117, compared to 151-147 for the Rebels. Campbellford, at 936 minutes, was more heavily penalized than Napanee, 608.

“Against them we’ll have to be disciplined, for sure,” Chesher said, as well as “just keep our game real simple” work hard, and “give ourselves a chance to win every night. That’s really all we can do with the young team that we have.”

Chesher said his club had “good stretches, bad stretches” throughout the season.

“Hopefully, we’re hitting our stride now as we’re going into the playoffs.”

He said the two teams “are pretty similar” as both have “really strong goaltending” and “pretty solid” defences, with “good depth in scoring.”

Chesher added he hopes his players’ work ethic “will be a difference maker” for his team.

final will also be played in Omemee with the top in Omemee. The NDHS rink of Rose, Shannon Scriver, Hannah Turner and two teams advancing to the COSSA spiel in BrighMeaghan Fox finished fourth. Photo: Submitted ton. Photo: Submitted

Family day picture perfect at O’Hara Mill

By Diane Sherman

Lifestyles - Madoc Township - It was like a scene from an old movie at O’Hara Mill Homestead on Family Day, February 16, as volunteers, wordsmiths, musicians, horses and dogs created a winter festival both outdoors and in to raise funds for the Building Positive Horizons Foundation for children with mental health issues.

Chair of the Foundation (BPHF) Chris Budd is also a member of the O’Hara Mill Volunteer Association.

Budd, along with numerous volunteers from The Mill and members of BPHF organized the winter outing to share both the beauty of the conservation area and to raise funds for the foundation.

James Reid, who started up the Amazing Sunday jam sessions at Amazing Coffee in Madoc a few years ago, returned with a few friends to entertain in the visitor’s centre. He was joined by local talents like Patty Timms from Hastings, music producer and bassist Howard Baer, guitarists Bill Milligan and Rob Crosby.

John Foreman, who is best known as the guy who demonstrates hewing logs with a double sided axe, sat in with his banjo.

In the replica log cabin, local sled dog veteran, Don McEwen told of his adventures on the Iditarod trail crossing Alaska, in his younger days.

Madoc Township poet Deidre Reitav read her award-winning poem The Rooster and other work.

Resident musician, wordsmith John Copeland told his stories while visitors sat around the hearth in the cabin listening, and watching out the window as a team of Budd’s horses came and went to and fro into the The Feeney family from Bancroft spent Family Day at O’Hara Mill Homestead in Madoc Township and contributed to funds for the Children’s Mental Health Foundation. Scott, Ellis, Niki and Taryn were just bush with visitors aboard a cutter.

Chatting by an open fire a highlight at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Mill Continued from page B1

It was an enchanting scene.

At the other end of the homestead, excited children took rides on a dog sled pulled by dogs from Chillipawz kennels of Tweed. Steve Shilleto and his nine dogs were a hit with both young and old, giving rides for the full four hour event.

Shilleto said he had been going non-stop since opening at 11 a.m., stopping only long enough to change dogs while the others rested.

Visitors took advantage of the sunny day to chat around an open fire and dine on treats from the food booth hosted by Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara volunteers.

Mason jars were set up at various points on site to receive donations for the foundation.

Budd was not yet aware of how much money was raised for BPHF, but it was obvious those who attended enjoyed both the sunshine and winter wonderland at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Mill.

When not pulling children in the sled at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Mill Homestead on Family Day, Chillipawz dogs of Tweed made great friends with visitors like Holly Blount from Maynooth.

Ancient Egypt on display at Glanmore

By Stephen Petrick

Entertainment - Belleville - A different type of history is on display for the next several weeks at Glanmore National Historic Site.

The museum, in Belleville’s east hill, is known for paying homage to 1880s life in Canada, as it’s set up to show the lifestyle of the affluent Phillips family who lived in the house after its construction in 1883.

But from now until April 12, visitors to Glanmore can also learn about Ancient Egypt. A touring Royal Ontario Museum exhibit called Egypt: Gift of the Nile is on display at the museum. Regular admission prices ($6 for adults, $5 for seniors, $3.50 for children 5 to 12, free for children under four) still apply while the exhibit is there.

Glanmore is located at 257 Bridge Street East.

Guests to the exhibit can learn about hieroglyphs, ancient Egyptian architecture, as well as fashion and religion of the era.

Glanmore used to bring in a travelling exhibits yearly, but hasn’t done so for the past few years, said Rona Rustige, the museum’s curator. However, this year, staff ended the hiatus, with hopes that a new exhibit will bring in a few more people.

“We want to reach other audiences,” she said.

Part of the exhibit is on the main floor of the building and part is in the basement. Downstairs, visitors can see the replica of a mummy and try on different ancient Egyptian jewellery and clothes, in front of a pyramid-drawing backdrop.

The exhibit opened to the public last weekend and on Friday, February 13, Glanmore volunteers got an opening tour, after which they seemed quite excited about sharing the information with

visitors.

Rustige says she and her colleagues believe the exhibit will be a hit and they’re preparing for a busy March Break.

The exhibit comes at an exciting time for Glanmore, as a new 1880s style bed has been added to the upstairs second bedroom, meaning a room that sat fairly empty for a while is now complete.

The museum is also in the process of removing the current carpet with a new carpet that will better match the 1880s style of the

house.

Rustige said the carpet project is a big one for the house, as it marks one of the final big check offs on a list of renovations that have taken place over the last 25 years, to get the house to look as authentic as possible.

“We’ve been doing a lot of interior restoration the last few years,” she said. “And we’re just about finished.”

lost per day.

The OFA is addressing two specific areas relating to farmland preservation: general preservation of all farmland and reviewing protection plans.

Weather touches every aspect of agriculture. As the entire planet grapples with climate change, this issue impacts agriculture more than any other industry.

The OFAis working with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs on three key areas: risk management for farmers in extreme weather events, climate change programs and policies affecting farmers, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The OFA is helping bring food literacy back into schools by giving young people knowledge and skills to make lifelong decisions about their food. If we teach children how to choose and prepare healthy foods, we are setting them up for healthier, longer lives.

The OFA’s food literacy

goal is a key component of the National Food Strategy to ensure that by age 16 Ontario teenagers can plan and prepare six nutritious meals.

The OFA is involved in the Invasive Species Act. Currently there is a giant invasive weed spreading across Ontario, threatening the province’s biodiversity.

Phragmites australis is Canada’s most invasive plant. At heights of five metres or more, this plant forms large, dense stands in wetlands, choking out animal habitats and native species. It is becoming an alarming problem for Ontario farmers.

The OFA wants to update the Trespass to Property Act of 1980. Intended to protect landowners, it restricts access to rural properties and compensates landowners for property damage. The current legislation falls short when it comes to deterring unwanted visitors. The OFA wants to impose a minimum fine of $500 for trespassing and increase the ceiling on damage awards to $25,000 (currently set at $1,000).

A challenging hike on Lake Titicaca’s Taquile Island

Visitors begin the gruelling climb up to the village.

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - As I’ve mentioned in a previous travel feature, I visited the Uros Islands, Peru’s floating reed islands, while boating on Lake Titicaca. I then continued my exploration of the highest navigable lake in the world by travelling to the more remote and much larger island of Taquile. This particular island, with a population of well over 2,000 people, is located about 45 kilometres offshore from Puno, Peru, and it’s a spectacular destination. It’s located high in the Andes, and its main village is situated atop a steep hill, at an elevation of about 4,000 metres (over 13,000 feet).

To reach this village, I had to make a rather challenging climb after arriving to the island by boat. The elevation made the ascent that much more strenuous, and many of the hikers would often pause along the stone path, gasping for

breath, and sipping bottled water, before continuing onward and upward. I passed several stone fences and arches on my slow trek up this hill. It was about a 45-minute trip for me, but some visitors took much longer.

However, although I was very pleased that I had successfully made this gruelling climb to the village, I couldn’t help but marvel at some of the locals who made that very same climb while carrying a large bundle of food supplies to be used up there. Several local inhabitants, known as “Taquilenos,” were making the climb with a child strapped to their back, or cases of Coke, or other village supplies. What a challenge.

Once I reached the village, by passing through yet another arch, I entered the main square, where I found a large destination sign, pointing out the direction and distance to such places as Brussels, Paris, Moscow and

Madrid. I also found several village houses, and to several small communities. Both islands offer nearby outcropping of rocks, was keeping an eye some ceremonial sites, shops, and restaurants. I overnight homestays, if desired by the visitor, but on him. I then walked out onto the pier and back discovered the quality of the goods sold up here, neither destination has a fancy hotel for tourists. to my boat, and then I began the three-hour return including hand-woven textiles and clothing, was Once I went through the final stone arch on my trip to Puno. excellent, and that it was the men who were the descent and returned to the shoreline, I was greeted What a fascinating day trip on Peru’s Lake knitters (being trained from the age of eight) and by a youngster playing atop a stone fence.

I was also surprised by the quality of the village’s restaurant food, for the meal I received was one of my favourites on my entire Peruvian holiday and included quinoa soup followed by fresh trout.

Most of the villagers still dressed in traditional clothing, as in bygone days, and HEIGHT: 6.02’ WEIGHT: 190 the majority of the inhabitants still used candles or flashlights for light in their small BIRTHDATE: ‘97-07-16 homes. Therefore, this village provided me HOMETOWN: CHATHAM, ON with a kind of time capsule of wonderfully preserved Peruvian culture. However, a few of these houses now had solar panels and satellite dishes–quite a contrast. Many of the hillside farms had grazing sheep.

C E N T R E However, there were no alpacas, llamas, or “My biggest supporters!” horses on this island, and pet cats or dogs were extremely rare, with guinea pigs being more often the “pet of choice.”

Residents pay no taxes on this island, and there are no cars or roads, so people walk everywhere.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth: Lifestyles - Here’s a story that will illustrate the title, even though it is not a gardening story. For many years in our church there was a group that met on Friday nights and were called–yes GR you are quite a perspicacious lot–The Friday Nighters. They didn’t always talk about church stuff; in fact, I even spoke to them once or twice about gardening.

This group carried on for an amazing 60+ years. In the early 1990s another group of church families, those with young children, began meeting on alternate Friday evenings. One of the highlight activities was lip-synching, in which the “singers” would not actually sing the song but make it appear as if they were.

Along with some hilarious scenery and skits, the song selections illustrated what our children were listening to. One day, probably in the parking lot after service, some older members were heard wondering where all the young people were.

So, the Friday Nighters were invited to the Family Fun Night. They were quite surprised at the large gathering of families. Coincidentally, this occurred at the same time that Avril Lavigne was carving the airwaves with Sk8ter boi (skater boy). The first three sets of lip synchers had all chosen the same song. So, while the older, more established group were now aware of the “other” group, they were not common attendees of the Fri-

Grinding the gardening gears

day Fun Nights.

Gardening is experiencing a similar transition, in the sense that there are distinct groups of practitioners and they seldom meet. We, yes you and I, are akin to the first group of Friday folk. We’re the ones who turn to the Home and Garden Television Network (HGTV) in the hope of watching something about gardening.

I just checked out their entire TV listing for the upcoming week on their website and guess how many gardening shows were slated to run? In fact, the words plant or garden don’t even appear.

Obviously, television gardening shows don’t bring in the viewers in sufficient numbers to generate an acceptable revenue stream from advertisers. That’s not a knock against the network; it’s more a realisation of how times have changed. Do you remember Dylan’s, The Times They Are A-Changing? Well, forget it because that time was 1964.

The second group, you can call them Y2kers, Millennials or even Nexters, are engaged in building suburbia, aka Muskeg Meadows Subdivision.

Apartments, parents’ basements and couch surfing are giving way to the ideal home (check out Audrey’s dream home from Little Shop of Horrors) and these folk are approaching gardening from the perspective of exterior decor. Have you noticed how the large garden shows, e.g.

Canada Blooms, have changed over the years? Similar to the HGTV folks, the exhibitors at Blooms are business people who provide what their customers are willing to purchase. They do not create gardening trends; they respond to them, and the clever ones do so in a manner that is most attractive to their primary purchaser.

GR, we’re not them. Most of us have established gardens and we have garden routines. Over the years we have developed our methodologies and collected the tools to support those systems. We’re not big-time spenders anymore. At most, we might replace a hedge, plant a memorial tree, or buy some packets of vegetable seeds–and buy a bus ticket to Blooms. We go to book stores and are dissatisfied with the selection, we press the buttons on the remote and can’t find anything worthwhile to watch, we go to hort society meetings and talk about the new varieties and old times. (Actually we don’t really have to talk about the old times, because those are our times and we’re comfortable there.)

If those last sentences define you, GR, it is time to shift gears.

All of the above is nothing more than rationalisation and an excuse to live in yesterday’s time. So what to do? By all means, continue with the traditions

and encourage young folk to join your garden clubs–being mindful that they may have slightly differing perspectives–because gardening is and always will be gardening. That said, switch gears to overdrive and take the ramp to the high-speed Internet highway. For starters, search out these two sites: Doug Green’s Garden and Garden Rant.

If you’re sloughing off this idea, it’s time to readjust your information paradigm. If you don’t, you’ll be left sitting in a dusty old room, reading dusty old books and thinking dusty old thoughts.

Momentum building for Hockeyville bid

By John Campbell

Sports - Campbellford - The campaign to have Campbellford chosen Kraft Hockeyville for 2015 is going much better than expected, says its organizer.

It’s developed “a lot more momentum than I ever imagined, which is great,” said Amy-Jo Doherty.

She has “a good feeling” that Campbellford will be one of the top ten communities named March 14 when the competition for $100,000 in arena upgrades and the title of Kraft Hockeyville enters the voting phase.

The two entries to receive the most votes will go head to head in a second round of voting beginning March 28 and ending March 30.

Nominations closed February with

the Campbellford-Seymour Community Centre receiving 30 of the 1,037 nominations submitted. Only two other communities across Canada received more, Doherty said Support for the local campaign continues to build, with the number of online posts and Twitter messages backing Campbellford’s bid having reached almost 1,000, as of February 13.

“It’s unbelievable,” Doherty said.

To keep the momentum going, a fun contest will be held this Saturday at the arena during an Atom/Peewee tournament in which the eight teams taking part will be challenged to see what they can build out of boxes of Kraft Dinner and JELL-O in 20 minutes.

“There are only two of 40 spaces left for classes,” she says.

The Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit has joined the organizing committee which includes Lower Trent Conservation,

Hastings Prince Edward District School Board, Algonquin Lakeshore Catholic District School Board, Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan, Quinte Conservation and Batawa Ski Hill. This is a two-day environmental educational event.

Campaign building for Hockeyville bid Continued from page B8

Their efforts will be posted on Facebook and the donated goods will be turned over to the Fare Share Food Bank the following week.

Sharpe’s Market will have a Kraft Hockeyville display in its store where people can take pictures as well to post on Facebook (Campbellford4KraftHockeyville), Twitter and Instagram.

There’s also a video on YouTube, featuring local musician Ken Tizzard’s song, This Town of Mine, released three years ago. It contains photos people have submitted to the Campbellford committee’s Facebook page.

Doherty is encouraging people to use hashtag, #KHV_ice4cford, to continue to beat the drum for the town’s bid, and to leave “comments about why we should be Hockeyville” on the competition’s nomination page, <www.khv2015.ca/en>.

The grand prize includes hosting an

NHL pre-season game in addition to being named Kraft Hockeyville and receiving $100,000 for arena upgrades.

The community that finishes second will receive $100,000 for upgrades as well, while the remaining eight prize winners will be given $25,000 apiece.

Plans are being made for “a massive community event” at the arena March 14.

Doherty said a big screen will show live the announcement of the top ten communities, which will take place during the first intermission of Hockey Night in Canada. The free event will run from 6 to 8 p.m., to be followed by a dance hosted by the Campbellford Rebels at 9 p.m.

“This is about bringing our community together,” said Doherty, who’s “amazed” by the support residents and users of the arena have shown to date, along with people living as far away as Texas and Europe sharing the town’s story.

“It’s exciting,” she said.

Coyote researcher attracts capacity crowd

News - Ivanhoe - Coyotes can attract a lot of attention and organizers of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Winter Speaker Series can attest to that after a standing-room-only crowd filled the Huntingdon Veterans Hall to hear a presentation

by PhD candidate Tyler Wheeldon last week.

Wheeldon has spent three years conducting research in Prince Edward County, studying coyote behaviour, morphology, diet, DNA and populations to explain why the animals are so adaptable, persistent and widespread. Using live trapping methods to affix radio collars to nearly 150 animals, as well as using carcass collection, stomach content analysis and scat sampling, hundreds of individual animals were studied as part of his doctoral work. That research, Wheeldon says, has now resulted in some preliminary findings but further studies are needed before any conclusions can be reached.

There were several reasons for selecting Prince Edward County as the location for the study, he explains, but convenience and timing, the obvious presence of the animals, concerns of livestock predation and a range of available food sources were

among the considerations. The animals are pervasive, he notes, but data collected in a limited area will reflect general patterns in other locations.

Coyotes studied were primarily younger animals, he says, with the vast majority being four years old or less. However, two animals encountered in the course of the work were known to be 12 and 13, although Wheeldon admitted finding animals that old came as a surprise to researchers. Studies revealed that 85 per cent of coyote deaths are caused by humans with shooting accounting for the cause of 55 per cent. About 13 per cent of the dead animals studied were killed by vehicles with a similar number killed in traps.

About nine per cent died from natural causes, he says, including illness and starvation. But despite sometimes intensive harvesting by humans, coyote populations tend to remain stable, he says.

And part of that comes from their adaptability. Where diet is concerned, Wheeldon explains, coyotes are opportunists and will eat whatever is readily available.

Describing them as â&#x20AC;&#x153;not an overly large animal,â&#x20AC;? those studied in Prince Edward County were generally less than 20 kilograms and after a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very complicatedâ&#x20AC;?

genetic analysis were determined to have similar combinations of coyote, eastern wolf and dog genes. One animal carcass recovered did weigh in at over 50 pounds (23 kilograms), Wheeldon says, but it also contained six pounds (2.7 kilograms) of undigested chicken. That particular coyote, he suggests, was probably quite sluggish when it was hit and killed by a vehicle in front of a chicken farm. Depending on the time of year, Wheeldon says diets varied but included elements of fruit and vegetables, natural prey, livestock, dead stock, road kill and household garbage. Natural prey, in summer and fall accounting for about 40 per cent of diet, was made up primarily of small rodents, including beavers, with livestock spiking at that time of year to about 30 per cent. Apples were also a common fall supplement, he says, noting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we found apple seeds in a lot of the scat.â&#x20AC;?

Wheeldon also discussed the animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; social behaviour and offered advice on how not to attract these dietary opportunists to a regular food source.

Hastings Stewardship Council Co-ordinator Matt Caruana says the series has been very well attended this year and continues with an upcoming visit from Mike

Burrell, Ontario Important Bird Areas Co-ordinator Janet Foster (March 19) and geologist Pam Sangfor Bird Studies Canada, on March 5 at 7 p.m. ster (April 2) who will be the final presenter in the Future speakers include filmmakers John and series. Admission is $5 per person.

We wish to send our most sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to Lindsay Findlayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final tribute, especially to Andre and the staff at Pilon Family Funeral Home for their professionalism and support during our shock and grief. Our gratitude goes out to Derek Crosby of D&J Trucking and Clint & Tiffany Duff at the Antrim Truck Stop for organizing and gathering the most memorable convoy tribute Arnprior has ever seen. And our gratitude goes to John Irish, David Virgin and all the drivers who were a part of that. Evan & Debbi Gray, Ron & Trish Headrick and friends who supplied the special touch with the plaid lumberjack coats, thank you so much. And of course our warmest thanks to our twelve pallbearers. Also, we extend our thanks to John & Fawn Bott, who supplied the catering, at the funeral home and Chris & Trish Sclievert, Gordie Schlievert, Brian & Sharlene Lesway, and everyone else who supplied the facilities and brought food and memories and enjoyed our gathering afterwards at the Parish Hall. And a special thank you to everyone that visited and offered condolences, sent flowers and made donations.Lindsay will be so fondly remembered by all who knew him for his great stories and jokes, quick wit and mischievous grin. He is not gone because he is definitely not forgotten. Thanks to all who made our final days with him so special.
