Family fun in Norwood Kayleb Rourke, three of Trent River, was really excited to meet Razzberry the Clown (aka Jessica Jacobs) at the second annual Family Day gathering hosted by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 300 in Norwood, There was face-painting, balloon animals, cup cake decorating, displays by the Asphodel-Norwood Fire and Rescue Department, the Masonic Lodge CHIP (child identification program), tours of the Branch’s Rob Gordon Museum and lots of tasty goodies.

News – Asphodel-Norwood – Peterborough County will install a ashing solar light and enlarge a stop sign at the accident-prone intersection of county roads 38 and 2 southwest of Westwood. The intersection has been the scene of several serious accidents, at least three since Christmas, AsphodelNorwood deputy mayor Joe Crowley noted during council’s regular meeting.

The last accident was January 22 in which a seriously injured Norwood woman had to be airlifted to Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. Township ďŹ re and rescue crews needed to use the Jaws of Life to free the injured woman from her four-door sedan which had collided with a commercial vehicle travelling on County Road 2.

Both Crowley and mayor Doug Pearcy have raised the issue with county staff and Pearcy told council that the county has agreed to install a ashing solar light on a sign that says “Stop Ahead.â€? They will also put a larger stop sign at the corner “to see if that has an impact.â€?

Both Crowley and Pearcy have talked to Peter Nielsen, manager of technical services for Peterborough County. “He was pretty concerned,� said Crowley.

Crowley said the accidents are “taxingâ€? the ďŹ re and rescue department and costing the municipality money. “The next step would be a four-way asher over the intersection but that would cost $250,000,â€? said Pearcy who hopes the ashing light and enlarged stop sign are effective in getting the attention of drivers travelling south on County Road 38, reminding them of the upcoming stop at County Road 2 and to slow down.

Interim Fire Chief Daryl Payne noted that brake marks are not often present at accidents at the intersection.

Councillor Rick Kloosterman wondered if a full four-way stop would be the answer.

Soup, chili challenge draws Family Day crowd in Havelock News – Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Culinary delights and Family Day go together like Sidney Crosby and gold in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen.

Wrightly’s son Lawson, a local artist, designed and made one-of-a-kind awards for both the People’s and Judge’s Choice winners.

“It’s another nice touch that makes it a little more community oriented,” she said.

2 The Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, February 20, 2014

“I don’t think that’s the issue,” Crowley said. “The issue is people driving down 38 not stopping.”

Crowley said he suggested to county officials that they perforate a stretch of the pavement that leads to the stop sign at County Road 38 similar to the rumble stripes that are used on Hwy. 407 as eastbound drivers approach Brock Road.

The rumble stripes do grab the attention of drivers and force them to slow down, he said.

The flashing light is “good news,” he added.

Pearcy said the installation is expected to occur “right away.”

Councillor Mary Hay said that sight lines play a role as well with people “coming up over the culvert and (then) you’re in the intersection.”

Crowley is happy something is going to be done.

“I think we’ll just go along with the county people and go from there,” he said.

Flourish Campaign Honourary Chair Bob Bennett, standing, and his wife Ann, left, got together with Martha Murphy, executive director of the Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation, one of the partners in the campaign, to have a conversation about the next stage – community awareness and involvement in the fundraising for the recreation facilities being proposed. Photo: Sue Dickens

“One of the problems with support for the recreational facility is the lack of something tangible for people to see ...

We’ve been hampered by not having a model. But surely when all the agreements are in place that will be the next thing on the list,” said Bennett.

With $2 million of the $7 million raised in just one

year, hopes are high that the momentum will encourage residents to become more involved.

“We need to now spread the word if you will,” Bennett said.

News – Campbellford – “Talk it up.”

That is the gist of an informal sit down conversation which included Flourish campaign supporter and honourary chair Bob Bennett and his wife Ann with Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation (CSCF) Executive Director Martha Murphy.

The informal dining room get together was videotaped so it can be put on YouTube and the Flourish website to get the word out to residents of Trent Hills that the campaign is now moving to the next stage - public awareness.

“One of the key components of the Flourish Campaign (www.flourishcampaign.ca), is the recreational piece that will provide opportunities for all age groups. With Family Day so close, we thought it would be a good time to hear from one of the campaign committee members who is also a major supporter,” said Murphy last week.

“We thought perhaps this would be a good opportunity to get together with you and remember the purpose of Family Day - having a day off with your family - and we’re hoping that in future with the new recreation facilities, (Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth) families will have an even broader opportunity to engage in activities throughout the community,” she added.

“Speaking of family, my father A.D. Bennett was one of the prime instigators in connection with the development of the hospital here in the early 1950s,” said Bennett.

As well his older brother, the late Donald Bennett, “was a continuous supporter throughout his career in Campbellford in business,” as is his son, Eric Bennett, who now runs the family business.

For the Bennetts, “Our first and foremost interest of course over many years is to see the establishment of an aquatic centre.”

As (Ann) Bennett pointed out, “Not only for ourselves but for future generations.”

The couple hopes that by talking about why they are such big supporters of the campaign, financially and personally, they will lead by example and inspire others in the community to do the same.

“One area that’s sort of significant is what can the residents of Trent Hills do in total to become involved and, as recently as our strategy meeting held last Monday, it’s apparent we need all the support that we can get from various organizations too,” said Bennett.

He hopes user groups of current recreational facilities such as the local figure skating club and minor hockey association will support the fundraising efforts.

“And I’m thinking coming back to the medical fraternity we’d very much like to have them speak out and endorse the concept,” said Bennett, noting facilities improve the physical health and welfare of residents.

It was also suggested that “talking it up” with local politicians, provincial and federal representatives would help, particularly now that the federal budget has been announced and municipal elections are on the horizon.

The path to vitality

By Bill Freeman

My hair was thinning!

For a long time Christie had wanted to do something extra for her hair. She felt it appeared dull and was thinning.

Hair VolumeTM became her resource.

C

hristie encountered hair loss, which was very frustrating.

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

Read about Hair Volume™ Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I first read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,

which made me realize that it was special.”

Very positive experience “Today I have taken the Hair Volume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will definitely continue taking this product”, relates a happy Christie.

DID YOU KNOW? Grey hairs can begin to appear due to a lack of copper in your diet.

Hair Volume™ tablets contain copper, which affects melanin production to help avoid grey hairs.

News - Norwood - It will be a one-stop shopping and browse bonanza for brides to be, grooms, family members and others looking for ideas about wedding planning when the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 300 hosts its first ever bridal show on February 22.

The free show is another first for the branch, just two months into its 75th anniversary year and pleased to celebrate its long-standing role in the community.

The Norwood Legion continues its goal of expanding the services it offers to the community and the bridal show is just another example of the eclectic and intriguing events it hosts, says bridal show organizer and brainchild Robyn Harrison.

“We still have a few openings [for vendors],” says Harrison.

She’s been thrilled by the response she’s received from both prospective vendors and guests and says it’s an indication that the show fills a need in this part of the county.

Harrison, who also organizes the branch’s community Family Day program, says a girlfriend emailed her with the suggestion that the Legion host a bridal show because there had not been one in this area for a number of years.

“I started just after fair weekend,” she said, sending out hundreds of event packages to potential vendors. Harrison has restricted the number of vendors in the various categories and says the response was positive from the beginning; she

continues to answer inquiries every day.

“Even up until last night we were still booking vendors.”

Vendors from as far away as Cobourg, Bancroft and Peterborough will be in attendance; there will be disc jockeys, limousine services, photographers, jewellers, decorators, travel agents, hair stylists, florists, caterers, hall rentals, to name a few, along with a display of historic bridal fashions.

There will even be a Man Cave with a big screen sports television, snacks, shuffleboard and cards for guys who

might find wedding detailing a little overwhelming.

Harrison says the first 50 brides to register will receive a special bridal bag filled with goodies. There will also be door prizes.

“We’re using all the space we have. I hope I’ve covered all the bases.”

Harrison would like this to become an annual event and will be looking for feedback from vendors and those who drop in.

“I feel pretty confident we can do it again next year.”

will be given a map that provides information about the vendors. The bridal bags will include last-minute ideas for a fabulous wedding.

Branch 300 is an experienced host of wedding receptions, Harrison notes, and member Rhonda Leeper of Rhonda’s Beautiful Designs has earned a welldeserved reputation for her transformational decorative work which has been showcased at Remembrance events and the War of 1812-Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee gala. She’ll be preparing the display of wedding dresses.

To keep things manageable Harrison has had to turn away some vendors; she wants to make sure there is a balanced number representing all the weddingrelated categories.

“It’s coming together nicely.”

The show runs from noon until 6 p.m. Brides can register by email at <robyn500@eastlink.ca>.

The Community Foundation works in the city and county of Peterborough and is focused on “stimulating new ideas, building participation and strengthening community philanthropy.”

It does this by finding “innovative and sustainable ways of matching the interests and concerns of donors with community needs and opportunities.”

It supports a full spectrum of charitable organizations, from social services and the environment and the arts to health care and beyond.

Green says the Foundation is the “vital link between caring members of our community and causes that matter.”

The Foundation “fosters philanthropy through the creation and management of endowed and special funds.”

Grants from the Foundation to registered charities “enhance the quality of life for local citizens. The Foundation enables all residents to contribute to positive, lasting change in our community.”

News - Peterborough - Well-known local resident John Good is the new executive director of the Community Foundation of Greater Peterborough taking over from the departing Andrea Dicks who has taken on the challenge of leading the newly created Rideau Hall Foundation in Ottawa.

Good, a Cotesloe resident, has been a long-time volunteer in the Peterborough area for the past 30 years most recently as the chair of the Otonabee Region Conservation Foundation; he was manager of the Trent Severn Waterway’s interpretation and visitor services and community relations programs from 1981 to 1998. Since then he has provided strategic communications and management consulting to government and not-for-profit sector parks and heritage organizations.

Good has also consulted in the areas of community engagement, corporate social responsibility and community investment related primarily to parks, the environment and the natural resources sector.

He holds an Honours BA in Geography and Economics from McMaster University and has recently completed a graduate diploma in Social Innovation from the University of Waterloo.

Good says his studies at Waterloo “stirred up my restless impatience to seek out innovative and collaborative ways to address messy and complex problems.”

The new executive director looks forward to “working with individuals, businesses and organizations that seek to make our community more caring, innovative and resilient,” says Foundation board chair Janice Green.

“We are truly delighted to welcome John into the role of executive director,” Green said.

“As an experienced executive director who brings a wealth of talent, leadership skills and energy from his years as a highly successful leader at both the local and national level, John is firmly rooted in our community.”

Green calls Good a “careful listener and strategic thinker.

“His values are very closely aligned with those of the Foundation,” she said.

“I have every confidence he will be a very dedicated and engaged new leader for all in our community.”

“Our prosperity resides in relationships and I am dedicated to building and maintaining the networks of trust and commitment to shared purposes so fun-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

How about new fire trucks instead of a bridge I am puzzled by the latest $30 million on a new bridge ago the IBI Group came out recommendation to spend in Campbellford. Two weeks in favour of a bridge across the Trent River linking Second St. to Tim Hortons and Canadian Tire (aka Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bridge).

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the logic of funneling traffic into a location that is already one of the busiest in town, one that on many mornings has cars backed up from the Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive through onto Grand Rd. Other times cars and trucks # PAPERS MAIN STREET LOCATION are backed up trying to get in 77 Bay Street East/Clyde Street Hastings and out of Canadian Tire.

and turn lanes in the middle of the Canadian Tire parking lot. If the town wanted a Second St. bridge why did it allow Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Canadian Tire to locate at that intersection?

Personally, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support my tax dollars being spent on a new bridge that really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t needed since I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel the current traffic is that bad and the existing bridge will not need to be replaced for 30 years. If Northumberland County is determined to spend $30 million on services in Trent Hills, there are many other projects that should

come first.

The main concern raised by supporters of Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bridge seems to be fire safety and the ability to get trucks across the river. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest the county take a fraction of the $30 million to buy a couple new trucks, park them in the Canadian Tire lot and use the remaining $25 million or so for things that are more needed.

Questions?

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here.

Dear Editor, Drum roll and trumpet blare.

So after five years and countless thousands of dollars, which was paid by taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money, IBI Group has come to the same conclusion as prior study groups did five years earlier.

Build the bridge at Second and Alma.

Twinning the old bridge would involve the removal of one or more derelict buildings.

The new design would require a recreational pathway?

Recreational pathway! Is that a $10,000 phrase meaning sidewalk? Give me a break.

One does not have to belong to Mensa to figure that one out. In the 12 years I have resided here, I have yet to see an emergency vehicle be impeded by traffic.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see if a pensioner can figure this out: removal of one or more buildings, or have the lives of all the people living on Simpson, Alma, or Second Avenue put on hold until the new bridge is built. Now

that will take some pondering.

As far as population explosion, I doubt it, the younger generation probably cannot wait to leave this thriving metropolis.

So Hector and his merry council can rest easy knowing his legacy has come to fruition; another drum roll if you please.

So now what happens to the downtown core?

Connected to your community OPINION Israel: Nuclear Hypocrisy Editorial – When Mordechai Vanunu, a humble Israeli technician who worked for years at Israel’s secret nuclear site at Dimona, spilled the beans about Israel’s nuclear weapons in 1986, very bad things happened to him. He was lured from safety in England for an Italian holiday by a woman who was an Israeli secret agent, drugged and kidnapped from Italy by other Israeli agents, and imprisoned for eighteen years (eleven Gwynne Dyer of them in solitary confinement).

When Avraham Burg, the former speaker of the Israeli parliament, said last month that Israel has both nuclear and chemical weapons (you know, like the nuclear weapons that Iran must not have and the chemical weapons that Syria must give up), nothing bad happened to him at all. He is protected by the Important Persons Act, the unwritten law that gets powerful and well-connected people off the hook in every country.

They didn’t even go after Burg when he said that Israel’s long-standing policy of “non-disclosure (never confirm or deny that it has nukes) was “outdated and childish.” But even ten years after Vanunu finished serving his long jail sentence, he is not allowed to leave Israel, go near any foreign embassy, airport or border crossing, or speak to any journalist or foreigner.

The Israeli government’s excuse for all this is that he may still know secrets he might reveal, but that is nonsense.

Vanunu hasn’t seen Dimona or talked to anybody in the Israeli nuclear weapons business for 30 years. What drives his tormentors is sheer vindictiveness, and he may well go on being punished for his defiance until he dies – while Avraham Burg lives out his life undisturbed and offers occasional pearls of wisdom to the public.

So here are the “secrets” that Vanunu and Burg revealed, in rather more detail than Burg chose to give and in a more upto-date form than Vanunu could give from personal knowledge.

Israel has a minimum of eighty and a maximum of four hundred nuclear weapons, those limits being based on calculations of the amount of fissile material that it has enriched to

weapons grade. The best guess is that the total is around two hundred warheads, most of them two-stage thermonuclear devices (hydrogen bombs).

At least some dozens are “tactical” weapons designed to be fired by 175 mm and 203 mm artillery pieces at ranges of 40-70 km. The remainder are meant to be delivered by missiles or aircraft, and Israel maintains a full “triad” of delivery systems: land-based missiles, sea-launched missiles, and aircraft.

The missiles are mostly Jericho II medium-range ballistic missiles, which can reach all of Europe and most of western Asia. Since 2008 Jericho III intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) have also been entering service, with a range that would allow Israel to strike any inhabited point on the planet except some Pacific islands. Both can carry a one-megaton warhead.

Why such remarkably long ranges, when Israel’s avowed enemies are all relatively close to hand? One speculation is that this is meant to encourage caution in other nuclear states (Pakistan? North Korea?) that might at some future time be tempted to supply nuclear weapons to Israel’s near enemies.

The maritime leg of the triad is highly accurate cruise missiles that are launched from underwater by Israel’s Germanbuilt Dolphin-class submarines. These missiles constitute Israel’s “secure second-strike” capability, since it is extremely unlikely that even the most successful enemy surprise attack could locate and destroy the submarines. And finally, there are American-made F-15 and F-16 strike aircraft that can also carry nuclear bombs.

The United States did not help Israel to develop nuclear weapons in the first place (France did that), and even now Washington does not really approve of Israel’s nukes, although it tolerates them in the interest of the broader alliance.

But why, after all these years, does Israel still refuse to acknowledge that it has them?

The only plausible answer is: to avoid embarrassing the United States in ways that would make it restrict its arms exports to Israel. But realistically, how likely is that to happen?

The US Congress will ensure that Israel goes on getting all the money and arms it wants no matter what it says about its nukes, and it is high time to end this ridiculous dance around the truth.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The federal budget and who benefitted Dear Editor Who got hit and who breezed through in this last federal budget? Public servants, the whipping boys of the Harper government certainly took yet another hit, more layoffs, cuts to pensions etc. Odd that I always considered MPs and MPPs to be “public servants” Obviously they do not, as there are no cuts to their gold-plated pensions or any layoffs. I always think it’s nice when we share the pain, don’t you?

In a recent study of the European Parliament after members’ salaries had been equalized, those members who took a reduction in income actually worked harder, attending more committee meetings and issuing more reports, asking more questions etc. Those who received an increase did less work, which proves that a cut in an MP’s salary would increase their work ethic. Unfortunately the golden rule is “they who have the gold, make the rules.”

The Conservatives, sitting on a $12 million war chest, with lots more to come when needed, changed the rules again with a hit specifically at the NDP. The only situation in which the NDP has outpaced the Tories in raising funds was from the grave, $10 for every $1 for the Tories. It appears that Conservatives expect a return on investment, whereas NDP sup-

porters want the good fight to continue after they are gone. So those donations have been capped at $1,200 maximum.

On the other side, phone calls during an election to remind supporters to renew their memberships are exempt from spending limits. When you have more money to spend than the law allows, change the rules so lots of phone calls are coming in the next election.

As Canada watches its social programs cut, postal delivery door to door cut, (lineups at the post office ready for privatization), retirement age increased, healthcare downloaded to the provinces and demonization of the labour movement, we should consider how far down this road we can travel before the corporations running the show simply dispense with the façade of democracy altogether.

In Alberta, centre of the universe for the Harper government, regulation for the environment, fisheries, forestry and water has been privatized. The new entity is now totally funded by the industries it is supposed to regulate. Can the rest of Canada hold out against this new modern improved model?

If it’s broken, estimate Dear Editor It seems that the time has come to put my two cents worth into the so-called smart meter controversy. Wyley Canuck is correct when he says that smart metering is anything but smart, however his reasoning is wrong. He starts by blaming the problem on overpaid Hydro One staff, but he fails to single out only those that brought smart metering to its present sad state. The blame lies squarely on their shoulders and those of senior management who failed to halt this ill-conceived scheme. And much of the blame must also be shared by the Liberal government under Dalton McGuinty who endorsed this madness in his rush to bring forth a very imperfect “green” energy policy.

Wyley suggests that the meters are deliberately “fixed” to overcharge customers. This is nothing but nonsense. These meters are very easy to test, and I’ve already tested mine and two others and found them to be well within the accuracy required by the federal government. Those federal standards also prohibit tampering by force of law, and any attempt to do so would put Hydro One and the provincial Liberals in an untenable position. Once the accuracy of the meter is proven, then simply by keeping a record of the digital meter reading on a monthly basis, you can check the total kilowatt hours on your monthly bill against your own monthly readings.

The real problem with smart metering is that it serves no useful purpose. For years Hydro has always kept records of its daily load variations on paper chart recorders, magnetic tapes, and now with modern digital systems. There is no sensible reason to keep track of exactly how much energy each individual family uses. Sure, we’re told that we can adjust our energy usage to take advantage of off-peak rates, but the real truth is that our usage is dictated by daily needs that are largely beyond our control. Few, if any, can set their own hours of work, and must arrange their schedule around their work hours, school needs, etc.

And how much is really saved? For those in many rural areas where the system is not operational, you still pay a flat rate calculated on the basis of a time-weighted average of the off-peak, mid-peak, and on-peak rates. No time-of-day savings for those in that situation! Then there are those with third party energy contracts. Their per-kWh price for Hydro is also a flat rate that is one or two tenths of a cent below the maximum, on-peak rate. We actually have one neighbour with such a contract who uses less Hydro than we do, but pays substantially more because he can’t take advantage of time-of-day pricing. That not-so-little detail was carefully left out of any Liberal propaganda praising the introduction of smart metering. I have yet to work it out, but I suspect that, with the new rates, the time-of-day savings may not be as great as Hydro would have us believe once you take into account all the extras that are added onto the bill that are independent of the time of use. Keep in mind that your real cost per kWh is not the price that Hydro claims on your bill, but it’s actually the total charge in dollars shown on the bill divided by the total number of kWh also shown on the bill. Those pesky “extras” just can’t be ignored.

The cost of the original system was bad enough, running in the order of $1 billion, and it’s still not finished. Now one would have thought that, with all this data coming in, Hydro would have included the cost for a data handling centre, but no they apparently did not. They came back to the table to ask for more money, $250 million to be exact, to build a data processing centre. The reason? Well it seems that in the mad rush to jump on the “green” bandwagon, the various public utilities neglected to select a common digital language for their local municipal metering systems. It now appears that this $250 million data centre is designed as a sort of digital “United Nations” headquarters where all these various metering “languages” can be translated into some common system so that energy distribution data of Hydro and all the various public utilities can be coordinated. Had the proper thought been given to this coordination problem, it’s very likely that extra $250 million might not have been needed.

Hydro One has chosen to ignore the old adage: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, but when it’s someone else’s money they’re playing with, they tend to get careless.

Local Carnegie Library 90 years young

By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - Norwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carnegie Library is the last of its kind built in Ontario and remains a dynamic part of the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social fabric 90 years after it opened.

Asphodel-Norwood Public Library board members, volunteers, members of council and friends celebrated the anniversary of the historic Carnegie building last week but also hailed the fact that a library has operated continuously in the village since 1855.

It was an â&#x20AC;&#x153;amazing gesture,â&#x20AC;? board chair Katherine Helmer said of American philanthropist Andrew Car-

negieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $60-million gift to build libraries across the English-speaking world. Onehundred-and-twenty-five would be built in Canada, 111 in Ontario.

The Andrew Carnegie Library Foundation offered libraries to towns that were willing to provide land and sustaining money to help maintain the buildings. The libraries also had to be free to users. Norwood received its $5,000 grant on June 11, 1914, and in an effort to save costs shared a design with the town of Glencoe.

The Norwood Library opened in February, 1924; its sister library in Glencoe had opened a year earlier. The

Glencoe Public Library closed in 1993 and now houses the local historical society which means Norwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building is the last Carnegie Foundation Library to be built and function as intended.

Norwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first library was a $1 a year subscription service run by volunteers. In 1895, a library board was created with council providing a sustaining grant of $25 a year; ten years later the first librarian was hired at the princely salary of $75.

The library was housed in the basement of the town hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A community this size having a library for over 150 years says a lot about the people who came here,â&#x20AC;? says Helmer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful tradition.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Libraries change with the times and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the secret of them existing, obviously Asphodel-Norwood has done that.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I think of libraries I think they sort of have soft edges; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re primarily about books and information but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also about people coming together, being in a friendly place; a most democratic place.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an amazing feeling to be a part of [the ninetieth anniversary],â&#x20AC;? CEOHead Librarian Kris Van Luven said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thinking back from where the library was when it started and where it is now

One of the first things people wanted when they moved here 150 years ago was a library, Van Luven said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Still to this day new residents say that part of the draw was that there was a small community library here.â&#x20AC;?

Van Luven is thrilled that so many young people volunteer at both branches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They learn about community building and feed into the energy of the library.â&#x20AC;?

Long-time board member and former chair Cathy Turner was recognized by Helmer during the celebration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people in this community, when they think of the library they think of Cathy,â&#x20AC;? said Helmer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thoroughly enjoyed my time,â&#x20AC;?

Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned a lot about the people who use the library. It is very vital to the whole community. We were blessed with excellent board members and staff who worked very hard to make it the best possible library with the funds that are available,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Challenges facing farmers today and tomorrow Greater public awareness of agricultural challenges could help the industry in the future.

Many people have an outdated view of a farm as a small, family-owned and operated parcel of land where livestock is raised in open pens and crops are hand-harvested when ripe. The reality is that modern-day farms have had to overhaul operations to meet demand and remain competitively priced while adapting to the ever-changing ways technology infiltrates all parts of life. Each of these factors present obstacles for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers.

Technology Rural farming communities are expected to make an effort to integrate modern technology into an industry that has been around for centuries. But such a transition in rural areas, where communications systems may not be as up-to-date as those in urban areas, is not always so easy.

According to the Manitoba Rural Adaptation Council, a shift from a resource-based to an information-based economy, compounded by the rapid introduction and expansion of new technology in the workplace, has altered farm operation and the skills in demand. Older workers who have been schooled in one way of agriculture may have a significant impact on labor supply and the vitality of farming as a career. Younger adults who are knowledgeable in technology may no longer seek out agricultural careers.

Decrease in farming as an occupation

Cobourg:

The United States Environmental Protection Agency says that only about 960,000 Americans claim farming as their principal occupation. As that figure has dwindled, the average age of farmers continues to rise, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that roughly 40 percent of the farmers in this country are 55 years old or older. This has led to concerns about the longterm health of family farms.

Environmental concerns Many farmers have come under scrutiny for how farming impacts the environment. A growing emphasis on sustainability and conservation has led many people to protest certain farming practices. Protesters claim that certain practices, such as raising livestock, can pollute water, while the use of fertilizers and chemical pesticides is bad for the environment.

Many farmers, however, have altered their methods to be more environmentally friendly and self-sustainable in the process.

Climate change is another environmental issue farmers must deal with. Strong storms and severe droughts have made farming even more challenging.

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

Financial fall-out

Though it can be easy for those who do not work in the agricultural industry to overlook the struggles facing todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agricultural professionals, a greater understanding of those struggles and the challenges that lay ahead can benefit the industry and its employees down the road.

Further complicating matters is competition from corporations and international food producers who have made it difficult for family farmers to turn a significant profit. Many family farmers rely on loans and lines of credit to survive, but thanks to changes in the financial sector that saw banks become less willing to extend lines of credit, some farmers are facing bankruptcy.

RICK NORLOCK, MP

The ongoing recession of the last half-decade has also affected farmers. In November of 2012, the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated that the unemployment rate within the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industries was at 13.6 percent, far higher than the national unemployment rate. As a result, many farm families have found themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place, as rising costs for equipment and technology are being coupled with decreasing profits and rising unemployment.

10 The Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, February 20, 2014

Comics will “Raise the Woof” again Entertainment - Havelock - They’ll be Raising the Woof in Havelock once again on February 27 with three topflight comedians filling the Lions Community Hall with jokes and stand-up ribaldry in a fund-raising effort to support the local Cat Care Spay Neuter Initiative (CCSNI).

The evening also includes a silent auction and draws and organizers hope it matches last year’s full house event although they admit ticket sales ($15 each) are slow at the moment.

Award-winning American comedian Gordon Rutledge, a veteran of the HBOTBS Comedy Festival in Las Vegas, will be joined by Canadians Scott Belford and Mark DeBonis, 2010 winner of the Canadian Comedy Award for Best New Comedian for a night of non-stop laughter for a good cause.

“Last year’s show was a great success and we were so grateful to all who

came out to support our rescue and spay/ neuter efforts,” says Suzanne Hart, cofounder of the CCSNI. “We are hoping people will come out to support CCSNI and have a great night out. Havelock doesn’t often have this kind of entertainment.”

“Public support is essential for our success.”

Since its inception in 2012, CCSNI has neutered or spayed over 700 cats.

“We have more veterinarians working with us; we are still working on public awareness,” she said.

The Trent Hills Independent’s pet of the week campaign has boosted public awareness of the volunteer group’s programs. There is also a beneficial partnership with Paulmac’s Pet Food in Campbellford which allows the CCSNI to participate in monthly “adopt-a-thons” that help find good “forever homes” for cats and to publicize their activities.

In the past two years they have had

65 cats and kittens adopted. “[It] isn’t a large number but we have had several adoptions since the Pet of the Week has been in the paper,” says Hart.

At $125 for a kitten and $100 for a cat their adoption fees are reasonable, she adds.

“This is very reasonable and does not cover our costs. The average cost of a cat spay is over $300.”

This month they reduced their adoption fee for kittens under one-year-old to $75 and $50 for cats because they have over 40 cats and kittens in foster care right now (they have no shelter).

“Kitten season will be here very soon and we are unable to rescue any more cats and kittens due to lack of space and funds,” she said.

CCSNI is looking for more support from the municipalities it is working with to trap, neuter and return (TNR) feral, free roaming, abandoned and home-

Prizes up for grabs at Maple Syrup fest

News – Warkworth – The window of opportunity is closing with one day remaining for artists and photographers to submit their entries in this year’s popular 14th annual Maple Syrup Festival Juried Art and Photography show and sale.

“We average 100 entries per year and exhibit approximately 50 to 60 of those,” said Diane Arsenault, president of the Spirit of the Hills Northumberland Hills Arts Association, which hosts the event every year.

“The show is only open to members and the fee is $10 per piece of art submitted,” she said.

“We pay our jurors and we’re sharing the cost of the gala,” she added, explaining the reason for the fee.

Juror of this year’s event is Marc L. Gagnon, a full-time water colour and acrylic painter.

He holds degrees in Environmental Studies and Architecture from the University of Waterloo, and has practised architecture for over 25 years.

In 2000 he was elected a member of The Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour, (CSPWC) and served on the board

of directors for several years. He was president of the CSPWC from 2005 until 2007.

“Marc will be giving a free demonstration on abstracting the landscape in watercolours,” said Arsenault.

The demonstration will take place on Saturday, March 9 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts.

The winning artists/photographers will be awarded their prizes at the show’s gala on Friday, March 7, which takes place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

This year’s gala is being sponsored by On The Side Gourmet Food owned by Chef Tina Moorey.

“One of the things I would like to acknowledge is the prize donors. This is the largest prizing giving juried show we’ve had yet,” said Arsenault.

“Eclectic Mix has donated the ‘best in show’ prize of $250 for the past 14 years, our strongest supporter from day one,” she added.

Last year, ‘best in show’ went to Lucy Manley of Peterborough for her oil painting of “Sunset on Graham Creek.” This was Manley’s first Best in Show win at the Maple Syrup Festival Juried art show.

“Lucy has been a member of Spirit of the Hills for decades,” commented Arsenault.

The other categories include ‘best painting’ which is being sponsored by J. Bruce Taylor Accounting, ‘best photograph’ sponsored by Allen Insurance and ‘best 3-D mixed media’ sponsored by Warkworth Remedy’s RX. “The quality of the artistry and the artists which encompasses photographers, increases every year. Our membership is maturing as artists,” Arsenault commented.

The show attracts more than 750 people that weekend.

It is held at the same time as the Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival.

“We find we are bringing in new people to the County for the art show,” said Arsenault.

The artists’ and photographers’ work, including the winners’ submissions, will be on display in the Memorial Community Hall on Saturday, March 8, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, March 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

At that time visitors will have the opportunity to vote for the art/photograph they think should win the People’s Choice Award.

Tickets for the 8 p.m. show are available at Becca’s Pet Emporium in Havelock, at the door or by calling 705-95754645.

Up to 40,000 cardiac arrests occur each year in Canada.

That’s one cardiac arrest every 12 minutes. Without rapid and appropriate treatment, most of these cardiac arrests will result in death. Thousands of lives could be saved through public access to automated external defibrillators. As many as 85% of all cardiac arrests occur in homes and public places (Vaillancourt & Stiell, 2004).

After more than 12 minutes of ventricular fibrillation, the survival rate from cardiac arrest is less than 5% (Hazinski et al, 2004). For every 1 minute delay in defibrillation, the survival rate of a cardiac arrest victim decreases by 7% to 10% (Larsen et al, 1993).

News – Campbellford – A fundraising event offering wellness and healing for not only people but for their pets was the focus of a “fun day” hosted by Heli Bucek, owner of Evolution Yoga and Wellness.

Bucek offered an experience “truly out of the ordinary,” and raised money for the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program at the same time.

As part of the day energetic animal healer Janice Gannon of Stirling read the aura of pets from photos brought in

A fundraiser hosted by Evolution Yoga and Wellness, Campbellford was the idea of its owner Heli Bucek, left, who was joined by Janice Gannon, right, of Stirling who provides Shiatsu therapy. On the “fun day” Gannon also read the aura of pets from photographs brought in by their owners. The fundraiser, the first of many, raised $100 for the Trent Hills Division of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog program. Photo: Sue Dickens

by animal lovers and those interested in learning more about the modalities both offer. Gannon has been offering Shiatsu therapy for more than 20 years.

More and more people are turning to alternative health care modalities, not only for themselves but for their pets, said Bucek, who opened her studio on County Road 38, Campbellford, last year and offers not only yoga but Reiki, Qigong and more.

On this day she was offering the opportunity “to relax and feel what the ancient Hawaiian healing art of LomiLomi can do.”

“Evolution Yoga and Wellness respectfully salutes all human/animal working partnerships,” said Bucek.

In one of her classes she teaches “animal medicine and messages.”

“In this class we discover the various messages and medicines that our animal friends have to share and convey with us through their unusual behaviour,” she noted.

Bucek is a volunteer with the Trent Hills Division of the St. John

Ambulance Therapy Dog program and she and her pet Susie make regular visits to the Campbellford hospital.

“We are fairly new to the program.

I think it is wonderful and I’m grateful to be a part of it,” she told the Trent Hills Independent.

“As a nurse and an energy worker it’s natural for me to think in terms of wounds and the healing of wounds.

Whether we are dealing with the physical body or the emotional body there is a process involved. Time, safe space and positive intention are all required,” she stated.

On the day of the fundraiser she was joined by Gannon who offered insight to people about their pets and their well being.

For Bucek and Gannon, the fundraising day meant donating their time and skills for a good cause.

“I read the animal’s aura and then work with the energy. You are not going to see anything but I use colour or sound. I guess you would say it’s Reiki, using those skills to balance the energy,” she commented.

“So, for example, if I see inflammation which I’ll see as hot or maybe kind of a bubbly energy I’ll use a cool soothing blue waves to counter that,” she explained.

“Understand that all problems start in the energetic field and then come into the body, so it’s not going to be like giving an animal a pill and seeing a difference tomorrow.”

Gannon said she found out at a young age that she has special abilities.

“I studied psychometry, where you read information off people’s objects, something I’ve been doing since I was a teenager, and I’ve worked with animals for years,” she said.

“When I look at a photograph of an animal the information comes. The energy stays with the animal,” Gannon said.

It was their own positive energy that resulted in the first of many fundraising days to be hosted by Evolution Yoga and Wellness.

“We will be making this a monthly event with proceeds always going to community projects,” Bucek said.

New owners, chairman prepare for Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival

Events – Warkworth – The two-day 28th Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival is surely a sign that spring is around the corner.

After the winter everyone has had this year, the familiar faces of Alice and George Potter at Sandy Flat Sugar Bush

will be a welcome site as they have always been since the popular festival began.

But the couple, who sold their business last year, will be sharing the event with the new owners who will also be on hand to start a tradition of their own.

Derek and Angela van Stam of Frankford decided to plan for their retirement with the acquisition of the sugar bush which, is known for producing Canadian world champion maple syrup.

He is a sergeant in the Canadian Armed Forces at the Trenton base and she is a (civilian) nurse for the military.

“We’re going to have to juggle this for the next five years,” van Stam told the Trent Hills Independent, adding, “We’re enjoying getting ready for this year’s maple syrup festival. We have three kids and we like the outdoors ...

Our son would rather come here than go to the movies.”

The couple used to bring their kids to the festival.

“We’ve always loved coming here.”

“George and Alice are still involved as is Hanford Dougherty, (he mans the evaporator) who has been there for 20 years. Hanford’s pretty much the guy who knows what’s going on ... he knows how to boil and I am learning a lot from George,” said van Stam.

And working behind the scenes is this year’s festival chair, Dennis Gebhardt.

He and his partner Tom Harris own Stonehouse Gardens and are well known for their June garden event that raises money for The Bridge Hospice.

“About 8,000 to 10,000 people come to the festival each year. It’s a big income maker for the village and surrounding area. Everybody benefits,” he commented.

Harris will be among the many volunteers who greet visitors taking the shuttle buses to the sugar bush while Gebhardt moves from venue to venue to make sure everything is running smoothly.

“The festival is a family-oriented event with something for everyone,” he said.

Beginning with the pancake and sausage breakfast hosted by the Warkworth Community Service Club, the festival offers fun activities including log sawing, sap making demonstrations, snowshoe competition and threeperson plank races, sleigh rides through the sugar bush, olde tyme square dance demonstrations, step dancing, clogging and country music with outdoor entertainment by the Potter Band and The Percy Swingers.

In the village Glen Caradus, aka “The Paddling Puppeteer” will be bringing his musical puppet show to the festival.

“That is something new but everything else is pretty much the same, such as the petting zoo. This year we will have fencing so children can’t dart onto the road,” noted Gebhardt.

“The festival is successful thanks to all the volunteers and the committee we have,” he added.

“All the people on the committee have responsibilities. It’s an umbrella of people and I’m the hub. I am a control freak so I love it,” he added laughing, admitting, “The only thing I can’t control is the weather.”

The festival takes place March 8 and 9. For more information go to: www. warkworthmaplesyrupfestival.ca

Norwood wins Ladies Valentine’s Bonspiel for second year from the community and the bonspiel’s goal is to raise money for the club but it also brings a lot of people together,” said Bastedo.

“We try to bring new curlers to the club so they get that community feeling,” she added.

Bastedo also admitted that having the male members of the club serve their lunch is just an added bonus.

“They volunteer for this and dress up for the event.”

Barb (House) Dyson dropped into the club the day of the bonspiel, to meet her friends.

She has curled for many years and in fact was one of the original sponsors of the bonspiel back in 1981-82 when the club was built.

“Bernie O’Brien who owns Stedmans was a co-sponsor,” she commented reminiscing.

“I curled in this bonspiel for many years and you always tried to do something a little different because there were so many bonspiels so Casey Charles, a chef at the time, decided the men would wait on the women so they dressed up and wore red ties,” she explained.

“That seemed to be a

drawing card for the women so they still do it. The women love to have the men wait on them and they do such a good job of it,” said Dyson who helped hostess last year.

“It’s such a well established bonspiel. People know what they get and they get good value. The Campbellford host club always makes sure the ladies have a good time. It just doesn’t matter how new you are, the club members will make you feel welcome,” she said.

“And that Jan is a This Norwood team is the overall winner of the Ladies Valentine’s Bonspiel hosted by firecracker, she gets things the Campbellford Curling Club: from left, Sharon Scott, skip; Sue Ireland, vice; Zita done.”

Sports – Campbellford – A love affair with curling could easily describe the Ladies Valentine’s Bonspiel, which has a 30-year plus history here and was held again last Tuesday at the Campbellford Racquet and Curling Club.

“The bonspiel is a time to celebrate women getting together and having fun,” said organizer Jan Bastedo who acknowledges without her hard working committee the day-long event would not be a success.

This year’s bonspiel saw the Norwood rink led by Skip Sharon Scott take top spot as the overall winner for the second year in a row. Team vice was Sue Ireland, second was Zita Crowley and the lead was Doris Stephens. It was the same foursome that competed on the ice in 2013.

The winner of the second draw was a Campbellford rink skipped by Nan MacDougall. The vice was Cathy McCann, the second was Jennifer Dryburgh and the lead was Sandy Kelleher.

A total of 64 curlers competed on 16 teams from Campbellford, Madoc, Norwood and Marmora.

“You like to hide your competitive nature but when curling it is a competition. But there are a lot of good manners in curling,” noted Bastedo.

“And the nice thing about curling is when you come off the ice, the winners buy the losers a drink of their choice,” she added with a grin.

“And it’s always good fun.”

The one-day bonspiel was held to raise money for the curling club.

The Hornets defeated Georgian Shores 4-2 and 4-1 in front of an appreciative home crowd. They will try to end the series this weekend in Meaford.

In the opener Norwood took a 2-0 lead early in the second period on goals by Hayden Baptie and Dawson Turcott with assists to Turcott, Eric Sicker and Baptie. Geor-

gian Shoresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Griffin Boyd broke the shutout at the 2:50 minute mark of the second.

Nathan Dunn, from Nolan Beamish and Max Stewart, made it 3-1 at the 7:09 mark of the third but Tyler Hawken from Georgian Shores narrowed the lead at the 5:22 mark.

Baptie, with help from Sicker, struck late in the third to give Norwood a 4-2 win.

Norwood poured it on in game two building up a 3-0 lead on a pair of goals from Stewart and a powerplay marker from Baptie. Cole Dinsmore scored the lone Shoresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goal midway through the third period.

Baptie iced the game at the 4:36 mark of the third.

Picking up three assists for the Hornets was Baptie with single helpers to Owen Hubert, Beamish, Gavin Woodburn, Turcott and Sicker.

Coach Greg Hartwick was pleased with the effort calling the two wins â&#x20AC;&#x153;solid efforts.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guys played well defensively in both games and we held a pretty wide margin in scoring opportunities,â&#x20AC;? Hartwick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got solid goaltending to support it all.â&#x20AC;?

vancing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except two of Pictonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s losses came at the hands of the Rebels, the first in regulation (3-1 back on Oct. 5) and the other in overtime (2-1 Nov. 15). Interestingly, both wins came at home in the second of back-to-back games against each other.

Campbellford hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to repeat its success against Picton, losing four straight to the Pirates since then. But the wins showed the Pirates can be beaten, providing some measure of hope for the Rebels that they can pull off a monumental upset

against a club that finished 30 points ahead of them.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;a big challenge,â&#x20AC;? acknowledged team president Jim Peeling.

To meet it, the Rebels will need to do three things, he said: stay out of the penalty box, have goaltender Cole Mahoney â&#x20AC;&#x153;stand on his head,â&#x20AC;? and have the players do what they do best, â&#x20AC;&#x153;skate like hell.â&#x20AC;? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to skate to shut down the Pirates who have the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most potent offence, 230 goals, and stingiest defence, 62 goals against.

Campbellford had the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second fewest goals allowed, 125, and third-best offence, 167, but trailed only Port Hope in penalty minutes, with 718, compared to 592 for Picton.

The Pirates also boasted the Empire Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top four scorers, led by Brian Bunnett, 33 goals and 33 assists, and the top goaltending tandem in Adam Wood and Andrew Pearson. Wood finished with a .960 goals-against average and a record of 15 wins and two losses, both non-regulation.

The best-of-seven series begins Thursday, Feb. 20 in Picton, switches to Campbellford on Saturday and returns to Picton on Sunday. The first two games are at 7:30 p.m. and the third at 4:30 p.m. The schedule for the remaining games hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been set as of press time.

(Fifty fans will receive a complimentary mug when the Rebels hold their second annual Tim Hortons Fan Appreciation Night at the Campbellford arena Saturday night.)

Campbellford finished in fourth spot with a record of 20-16-1-3 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the last two being overtime and shootout losses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for a total of 44 points, one more than the Napanee Raiders and one fewer than the Port Hope Panthers and Amherstview Jets, who tied for second. The Jets earned the higher standing by virtue of a superior record head-to-head with the Panthers.

The Rebels ended regular season play with a pair of dominant wins over the last-place Deseronto Storm, 8-0 and 8-2.

Jeremiah Doherty racked up four goals and five assists in the two matches, Jordan Boutilier amassed three goals and four assists, and Cole Hamilton garnered three goals and two assists.

Joshua Leavey earned a hat trick in the 8-0 win. Cole Mahoney stopped 13 shots for his first shutout of the season.

The Vipers (2-20-0-1) wrapped up their home schedule with a 12-5 loss to the Brantford Blast (16-6-0) who needed the two points to give them an outside chance at first place after suffering a stinging 4-3 home loss to the Whitby Dunlops (17-4-0-1). The Whitby win catapulted the Dunnies into first place, which they can guarantee with a win over Welland this weekend.

It was tough week for the Vipers who played four games in five nights losing in Whitby 9-3 and 10-2 and falling 4-3 to the Dundas Real McCoys in a heartbreaker. As in many of the losses the Vipers have been competitive through the first 20 minutes but fall to the depth on the other

Patrol personnel are much more than just rescuers

By Ross Lees

News – Batawa – Fifteen people from 8 Wing have found a unique way to give back to the community and improve their own skills.

These individuals are members of the Canadian Ski Patrol (CSP) and ply their trade as volunteers at the Batawa Ski Hill just north of Trenton. The 15 military members vary from experienced SAR Techs to first-year members just learning the ropes of the CSP, which is charged with the safety of skiers and snowboarders on Canadian ski hills.

One of the volunteer patrollers is Maj. Darryl Rolfe, Commander of the Trenton Air Cadet Summer Training Centre (TACSTC), who also happens to be the Vice-president Administrator for the Frontenac Zone of the CSP and a first aid instructor in on-snow rescues. A lifeguard in the past, he became involved with the CSP for many of the same reasons others get involved – he believes in community involvement, he likes helping people, and he gets to practice a number of skills. A skier for well over 20 years, he decided to get more involved because his two sons were beginning to ski.

“We’re individuals who have careers in other areas,” Maj. Rolfe noted of the CSP volunteers who patrol the Batawa Ski Hill. “We make contributions where we can but we also enjoy what we do. I felt this was a great way for me to have my own thing going on – a circle of friends, a purpose for being there and an opportunity to meet the public.”

Maj. Rolfe describes the CSP volunteers as ambassadors of the hill and a focal point of safety when people need a hand on the ski hill. For those with the romantic illusion that it’s all high profile rescue work, think again.

According to Maj. Rolfe, assisting people day-to-day can be anything from teaching them how to ride the chair-lift, or how to get a ski back on to a cut hand or, sometimes, that call when someone has sustained a serious injury on the hill.

“From the ski hill management side of it, we’re often the face people inter-

act with the most,” stated Maj. Rolfe.

“We’re often the ones to notify if there is a hazard on the hill. We like to ski and we want to keep skiing, so whatever we can prevent, we do. We want everybody to have a positive experience on the hill and come back.”

Aside from members from 8 Wing, CSP volunteers at Batawa may include police officers, paramedics, Loyal-

ist College employees or students, an ER doctor, an Army reservist from the Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment, a member of the Army Staff College in Kingston or even retirees. But make no mistake, you don’t just decide to become a CSP volunteer and hit the slopes right off the mark. Nor is this everyone’s best chance at some free skiing. If you get involved, you may

find yourself committed year-round in one way or another.

New CSP applicants are recruited in August or early September. As part of their training they complete an advanced first aid course (60 hours) along with a full CPR course. Whether you are a new member or a returning one, every CSP member (paid or volunteer) has to complete the CPR

course, the national exam and participate in field-day exercises, which subjects them to scenarios out in the open. These experiences present a realistic learning environment, as each member of the team will have to deal with weather conditions along with injured patient(s).

OPP warn snowmobilers to stay off Trent River

News – Campbellford – Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the Trent Hills Fire Department (THFD) are issuing a warning to snowmobiles users to remain off the Trent River in Campbellford.

The winter of 2014 has sent large quantities of snowfall to the Northumberland area and this has made for ideal conditions for snowmobile use on area trails.

Recently, users of snowmobiles have been seen travelling at night along the Trent River in the town core in the village Campbellford under the Bridge Street Bridge and near the power dam at Trent Drive.

Police and Fire officers are concerned about this as there is potential for open water in these areas as the water and ice conditions are changing daily and are unpredictable. Unsuspecting snowmobilers may be putting themselves in jeopardy if they come into this area not aware of what is ahead.

OPP and fire officials are asking

that people stay off the Trent River at all times to avoid unnecessary injury or potential loss of life. If snowmobilers are in these areas and become involved in situation that requires assistance, it will take OPP and firefighters considerable time to perform a rescue, as easy access to the river is not available and a significant distance must be travelled from a suitable access entrance point with their equipment.

Here are some tips for safe snowmobiling from the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) and the OPP: No ice is safe Ice: It is never 100 per cent safe to snowmobile on ice.

Snowmobilers must avoid unnecessary risks and stay on available land-based OFSC trails whenever possible. If you make the personal choice to travel by ice on snowmobile, wait until a marked stake line is in place and cross only when you can follow directly from shore to shore, without stopping on the ice.

talities occur after dark. Slow down and do not overdrive your headlights. Becoming lost or disoriented is much more likely at night.

Wear reflective clothing. Never ride alone at night. Always dress in appropriate snowmobile gear even if your intended destination is just next door.

Practice zero alcohol” Alcohol is involved in over 70 per cent of snowmobiling fatalities.

Even small amounts of alcohol can impair your perception, slow your reaction time and limit your ability to control your sled at that critical moment when your life is in the balance.

The Criminal Code for impaired driving applies to snowmobiles as well and carries the same penalties as a car or other motor vehicles.

Impaired driving is the number one leading cause of criminal death in Canada.

Canadian Ski Patrol finds special way to give back

Continued from page B1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What sets us apart from the Red Cross is that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just do the care, we do the evacuation as well.â&#x20AC;?

Capt. Gillian Parker, a first-year member of the CSP from 424 Squadron at 8 Wing got involved because she heard a number of other squadron personnel were members, because she was looking for a way to get involved in the community and because her sister was a member of the CSP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want to give back to the community, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way of socializing as well,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you get to learn First Aid. Pretty much all of the rea-

sons everybody else has for coming out.â&#x20AC;?

A typical shift for a patroller starts with checking their equipment. They make sure the toboggan is complete with supplies in place and in good shape. After that they position the toboggans and do a sweep of the hill to make sure everything is all right, that the hill is clear and the barriers are in place so that the ďŹ rst passenger up the chairlift will have a safe skiing experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What sets us apart from the Red Cross is that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just do the care, we do the evacuation as well,â&#x20AC;? Maj. Rolfe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The paramedics come to the hill, but we bring the patient to the advanced care.â&#x20AC;?

Batawa Ski Hill General Manager Andrew Rusynyk appreciates the efforts of the CSP volunteers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen significant growth in the CSP this year and a lot of those The Canadian Ski Patrol makes sure the hill is safe for the first and last skipeople are from the base, which is ers down the hill on any given day. Photo: Ross Lees fantastic,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people at the base are a huge base of guests we would like to attract to the hill.â&#x20AC;?

Which is why the Batawa Ski Hill has created a 911 and Military Appreciation day on Thursdays of every week this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throughout the season on Thursdays, anybody who is part of 911 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether it be EMS, firefighters, police

or the military â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can come out here and get basically 50 per cent off our unlimited ticket, which is from morning to night. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty keen on getting these people and their families out. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been one of our big focuses this year to try to improve the family fun experience for people. We know there are a lot of young families who come to the base, and we want to make them aware weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here. Our biggest problem is to get people out.â&#x20AC;?

on-snow rescue training so they (the volunteers) can show us they can ski.

We (also) teach toboggan handling and incident scene handling and then theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re generally considered qualified to start patrolling the slopes,â&#x20AC;? noted Maj. Rolfe.

Patrollers must be a minimum of 18 years old, pay an average of $250 each year to be a member of the CSP, and cover the cost of their own uniform and first aid kit or vest, which when combined can cost approximately $500.

During the off-season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; May through to August â&#x20AC;&#x201C; patrollers often remain busy providing first aid services at many non-skiing events including marathons, bike races, fundraising events, sporting tournaments, concerts, etc.

TRAVEL

by John M. Smith

Curious about the Caribbean’s Curacao

Lifestyles - My wife and I have had the good fortune to travel to several islands in the Caribbean, and this year’s trip was to yet another new one for us, Curacao. Indeed, we like to seek out new destinations each time as there are just so many intriguing places to visit, so we decided to travel to one of the smaller and arguably less known Caribbean islands. I even discovered that some of my acquaintances didn’t seem to be particularly familiar with this destination, so I’d have to tell them that, “It’s near Aruba” or “It’s just off the coast of Venezuela” and then they’d understand where we were going. Or, if they had heard of Curacao already, it was as “The place with all the colourful houses” for photos of the capital city’s brightly coloured buildings seem to appear in almost every tourism ad.

Indeed, the beautiful Dutch colonial architecture is definitely a highlight of Willemstad, the capital city, and any visitor to Curacao will certainly want to check this out. I, of course, took several photos of these colorful waterfront properties. We also crossed the pedestrian pontoon bridge, the Queen Emma Bridge that separates two city districts, Punda and Otrabanda, so that we could explore more of this fascinating city centre, which has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We discovered lots of shopping opportunities along the waterfront of St. Anna Bay. However, we found out that this intriguing city had much more to of-

fer including the oldest continuously operating synagogue in the Western Hemisphere (the Mikvé Israel-Emanuel Synagogue), the Jewish Cultural Historical Museum (attached to the synagogue), the Pietermaai Cathedral (the island’s largest Roman Catholic church), the Curacao Museum located in a renovated 1853 hospital, the Curacao Maritime Museum with its unique maps, charts, and nautical equipment, the Kura Hurlanda Museum which traces the history of the slave trade in this area, Rif Fort, originally used as a defense for the harbour entry and now housing shops, restaurants, and a gallery, and Fort Amsterdam, now used as the governor’s home. We were also impressed by the city’s towering Queen Juliana Bridge (the tallest in the Caribbean) and its immense oil refinery. After all, since Willemstad is located so close to Venezuela’s oilfields, its harbour has become the largest oil handling port in the Caribbean.

We travelled with Sunwing (www. sunwing.ca), on a direct five-hour flight from Toronto, and the flight times were a factor in our decision to check out Curacao, for we were able to be at our resort for lunch on the first day of our vacation and arrive back in Toronto in the early evening on the last day. We stayed at the Sunscape Curacao Resort Spa & Casino, which is less than half an hour from the airport and the only truly all inclusive on this island. Some other resorts include meal deals, but not all drinks, entertainment, etc. It’s located close

to Willemstad and many of the island’s main attractions. For example, it was only about a ten minute stroll down the street to the Curacao Sea Aquarium Park, where one can watch sea lions in training, enjoy an encounter with stingrays and turtles, or even feed a shark. Here one will also find the Dolphin Academy Curacao, where one can participate in several interactive programs with the coastal bottlenose dolphins.

One of the things that we particularly liked about our resort was that it had four a la carte specialty restaurants, and it wasn’t necessary to make reservations for any of them. We simply lined up and we, of course, just had to try them all! One of the disappointments was that the resort’s beach area was relatively small, so there were no long walks available along the beach from property to property as there can be at some other Caribbean destinations. Also, some sections of the beach were rocky, so wearing protective water shoes would be helpful. However, the resort’s protective cove was a great place for snorkeling and Curacao is generally a wonderful destination for this activity and for deep sea diving. It has many intriguing coves and inlets with crystal-clear water. You’ll also find caves, coral reefs, and sponge formations and an abundance of colourful tropical fish.

A two-hour boat ride will take one to the nearby deserted island of Klein Curacao (Little Curacao), where one will find an exquisite sandy beach and a lighthouse. Some tour companies offer day trips here for a great escape from the hustle and bustle.

One of our favourite activities was the short Sunwing Bon Bini tour of the island. Bon Bini means welcome. Our very competent and cheerful guide, Danielle, provided us with lots of information on this introductory tour, which included stops in Willemstad and visits to Caribbean Handicrafts, the main supplier to most island souvenir shops and to the home of the Blue Curacao

Liqueur where we, of course, had to sample the products. We also encountered great photo ops of Spanish Bay and Table Mountain.

Danielle said that we might like to sample some of the local foods while on the island, including an entire fried fish (head and all), stuffed cheese (a cheese casserole), cactus soup, and stewed goat or iguana.

Curacao is home to many wild goats, iguanas, lizards, and tropical birds and, like the neighbouring island of Aruba, there are many cacti and

divi-divi trees bent by the prevailing winds.

We also discovered that Curaçao gets its water from the sea, and the world’s largest desalination plant is located here producing safe tap water. This was very reassuring. We also liked the fact that this destination seemed less commercial and Americanized than some of the other Caribbean islands, making for a more authentic or real island experience.

Bay of Quinte Federal Liberals announce the“Year for Women in Politics” program

News – The newly formed Bay of Quinte Federal Liberal Riding Association is pleased to present the strong voices of women in Canadian life. The “Year for Women in Politics “is a unique program to showcase women speakers.

As part of this initiative, the association has committed to have women headline all the association’s events in 2014, including the popular four part Bridge Forum Speaker Series, which is returning this spring and autumn for its third year after another successful program last year.

Belleville Director Rhea Pretsell pointed out her concern that “only 25

per cent of seats in the 2011 election were won by women, even though women form 50.4 per cent of the population in Canada.” She continued, “In spite of formal barriers being removed, discrimination and hidden barriers still prevent many women from seeking candidacy for political office.”

President John Brisbois announced: “With our initiative this year, we are ensuring that women’s voices are being heard in the riding, and also that there is a welcoming atmosphere for women to get more involved.”

The Year for Women in Politics will kick off at the third annual Heritage Din-

Adams says the year has been spent “getting to know patrons and their needs” and she appreciates the warm welcome and support she has received.

She also says there have been many new volunteers coming out to help both at the library and the Bookworm second hand book store operated by the Friends of the Library, whose membership “greatly enhanced library services.”

She states in her report that the group purchased new computers for patrons, a license for “Overdrive” along with many other needed items.

Volunteers helped inventory over 18,000 books throughout the Christmas holidays. She said those books in poor condition or which did not circulate were removed to make way for new material.

Adams stated in her report to the board February 4 that membership continues to grow and casual visits to use services is also up.

Events throughout 2013 included a visit from the Dinosaur Lady, children’s author Heather Rankin, Food for Fines to support the local food bank, and the TD Summer Reading Club.

As a result of partnering with Centre Hastings a Game Club was initiated which now meets the first and third Thursday of each month.

The library has also taken on hosting members of the Madoc C.O.P.E. program, and continues to be a contact location for Service Canada.

Financial support comes from contributions by the Municipality of Centre Hastings, the Township of Madoc and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport.

This year the library received two small Capacity Building grants from the Ministry and funding from Canada Summer Jobs for the Summer Assistant program.

Adams also reports Tina Booth was hired on this year as the new custodian and is doing well in the position.

At the beginning of the year, long time librarian/CEO Susan Smith retired and was given a surprise party at the library, which also served to introduce Adams to local supporters.

Adams concluded her report by thanking the Board of Directors, staff, patrons and volunteers for assisting with transition into her role in the library community.

OFA vice hopes to open dialogue with farmers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agriculture is one of the sectors that is most rapid to adopt new innovation and new opportunities and new research, and a lot of the time that does mean that less labour is required on the farm ... We have issues with regards to being able to keep people employed, because with technology one person can do more and more.â&#x20AC;?

McCabe also points to conflicts between city centres and farmers as being a major challenge facing Ontario farmers in the coming years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is certainly an issue of urban sprawl, especially around our city centres,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Therefore itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the issue of understanding that people are taking up some of our prime agricultural land for these houses, and what impact will this have on the future.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully this is a dialogue that carries on for much more than one evening.â&#x20AC;?

By Steve Jessel

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Belleville â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When the vice president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) Don McCabe visits Belleville later this month for a special speaking engagement organized by the Hastings Stewardship Council and the Hastings Federation of Agriculture, he has one clear goal in mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see where we can go to open a dialogue,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully this

is a dialogue that carries on for much more than one evening.â&#x20AC;?

Farmers and interested members of the public alike are invited to attend the presentation, which takes place on Thursday, Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. at the Township of Thurlow Community Centre. McCabe, a corn, soybean and wheat producer in Lambton County says he plans to touch on a wide range of issues and policies related to the ever-

changing agricultural landscape, and also invites public input and discussion on the issues of urban sprawl, changing technology, how Ontario farmers interact with the environment, the management of water, environmental goods and services, and climate change among other things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rate of change seems to be faster as the years go on, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partly due to technology,â&#x20AC;?

McCabe is no stranger to speaking engagements across the province, but said a large part of the presentation is focused on input from locals, and hearing about their stance on common issues facing the agricultural industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an issue of knowledge sharing, and at the same time knowledge gathering, because the OFA has worked hard to create policy based on stakeholder input and the environment in Ontario is one where farmers have active participation,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Environmental issues are a major part of changing policy, and as part of the presentation McCabe said he also plans on outlining aspects of the Environmental Farm Plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to ensure that we listen,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that people find some value in attending the event, and hope they take the opportunity to participate.â&#x20AC;?
