Small turnout for final focus group meeting

ties where high school student populations have shrunk dramatically. The exercise was to invite suggestions from the public on what the school board should do “to support these schools to ensure that we are providing our best opportunities [for learning] for all of our students across the district,� he said. The answer from the three focus groups established in advance of the meeting at the high school was essentially to provide more of what’s already being offered at CDHS, such as video conferencing with Norwood District High School, and extra-curricular programs (along with late buses needed to accommodate student participation). The focus groups, which included principals from CDHS and its feeder schools, teachers, school council members and student representation, also advocated offering classes
at night for students and adult learners, putting in a modern track and field facility, and having the province commit to secure funding for small schools. School board officials laid out the challenge CDHS is facing as a consequence of a 31 per cent decline in student population, from a peak of 732 in 2000 to 507 today, leaving the school currently operating at 71 per capacity. Senior project manager Dean MacDonald said enrollment board-wide has fallen from about 38,500 down to 33,000, “and that’s pretty typical of what’s happening across the province.â€?

News - Campbellford - Fewer than 40 people showed up for the community focus group meeting held last week on what can be done to continue to meet the academic needs of students at Campbellford District High School as their numbers decline. The turnout was far less than the 300 estimated to have attended a similar meeting at Norwood District High School held in January–probably because officials with the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board had made clear then and to Trent Hills council in February that the information gathering wasn’t a prelude to closing any of the high schools with 500 or fewer students. Superintendent of education Steve Girardi reiterated that point to open the fifth and final focus group meeting the board had scheduled in communi-

to make the February amendment to the application because the province considered them “non-contiguous.� “If council wants to pursue these items at Well 3 it will have to determine another way of financing,� Nesbitt said. “This is good news in a sense because it was identified that we had to do this within a few years. It takes the heat off for sure,� said Mayor Ron Gerow, noting that only AsphodelNorwood and the City of Peterborough locally received OCIF funding through this “intake.� There will be another intake, May-
or Gerow added. During Council’s Monday meeting they also approved a recommendation to issue a request for proposal (RFP) for the design, engineering and construction management services for the OCIF project. It also agreed to seek “external professional services� to help prepare the RFP and to evaluate the bids and make recommendations on the firm best suited to complete the project. Nesbitt said a project of
this nature would require a “very detailed� RFP. “My belief is that you should seek some external expertise to make sure you get the design and engineering [that you want],� she said. Council approved a maximum expenditure of $5,000 for that outside help. The project has to be completed by December 31, 2016, so they “need to move fairly quickly� to get a design and tender out to prospective bidders.

Dry Skin
Our skin is our largest organ, covering almost two square meters, and it is our body’s barrier and protection from the harsh outside elements. This year, our skin has had a trying winter, with the unusually cold weather, dry air, and chilly winds taking a toll on our skin. Moisturizing is the key step in your daily skincare routine that you shouldn’t be skipping if you want to keep your skin healthy all winter long. When choosing your daily moisturizer, look for one that is non-comedogenic (won’t clog your pores), fragrance free, non-irritating, and hypoallergenic. The three main categories of moisturizing agents include occlusives, humectants, and emollients. 1. Occlusives physically block the skin surface and slow the evaporation of water from the skin. While very effective, occlusives tend to be greasy, feel heavy on the skin and clog pores. Common examples include vaseline (petrolatum), mineral oil, beeswax, paraffin, and lanolin. 2. Humectants draw water to the skin surface from the environment and the deeper layers of skin. Common examples include urea, glycerin, lactic acid, propylene glycol, sodium hyaluronate, and sorbitol 3. Emollients seal moisture into the skin making it feel soft and smooth. Common examples include cocoa butter, ceramides, vitamins A and E, lanolin, castor oil, mineral oil, and palm oil. Most moisturizers are a combination of occlusive, humectant, and/or emollient agents in a moisturizing base. There are three different types of moisturizing base; ointment, cream, and lotion. The choice of base is your own personal preference. 1. Ointments are a mixture of waxes, oils, and petrolatum. They create a layer on the skin that traps water normally lost to evaporation. Ointments require fewer applications than creams or lotions but they tend to be greasy and less cosmetically appealing. 2. Creams are a mixture of water and oil. Water rehydrates the skin and oil creates a layer on the skin to reduce water loss from evaporation. However, the higher the oil content of the cream, the greasier it feels. Creams are easy to apply and absorbed quickly. 3. Lotions are a mixture of water and oil. They are thinner than creams due to a higher water content and are much less occlusive than ointments and creams. Lotions are easily applied to large areas and are especially suitable for the face but require frequent application. To further help your skin stay hydrated avoid excessive bathing or showering and use tepid water, use mild cleansers instead of harsh, perfumed soaps, pat your skin dry and apply your moisturizer after bathing, increase the humidity indoors to between 40% and 50%, and finally, drink lots of water! -Jennilee McConnell-Sedore BScPhm, RPh, CRE Medical Disclaimer: The information provided herein is intended for Canadian audiences only.

Fieldhouse feedback encouraged News - Hastings - The Hastings Fieldhouse should be ready for use sometime this spring, says Trent Hills Community Services Officer Scott Rose. “You can never be 100 per cent certain of timelines,” said Rose during an open house in Hastings that gave visitors a chance to learn more about the $4.8-million four-season multi-recreational indoor facility being built at Fowlds Millennium Park and to provide additional input on things like programming and fee structure. Similar open houses in Warkworth and Campbellford ran up against severe cold weather that reduced turnout. The extreme weather is a reminder of why the facility
will be a good fit for the area, Rose noted. The facility includes a 98.4 foot by 196.9 foot soccer field, a 200metre walking track, a court area for a variety of sports and non-sporting activities, and support building with change rooms, wash rooms, office, lobby and viewing area. The golf range will have ten mats and an optional putting green. A new $500,000 regulation outdoor soccer pitch is also being developed as part of the project. “With weather like this it sure hits home a little more permanently and that an indoor facility would allow you to get out and stay active and fit,” Rose said. “The feedback has been good. We want the community to get back
to us.” The fee structure, everything from a full $450 membership to a breakdown for other uses like the golf range, racquet sports, walking track, soccer field and court area, was released in January and grabbed the attention of the social media world. Rose feels the fees, as they stand, are competitive with other complexes they reviewed like the Spiplex at Fowlers Corners and recreation domes in Bowmanville and Belleville. “If there is something that we can review or we’re missing certain user groups that would like to access the facility [we want to hear from them],” he said. “We’d like the public to tell us when they are most
Notice of Public Information Centre County of Peterborough Class Environmental Assessment for the Rehabilitation/Replacement of the North River Bridge The County of Peterborough is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) for the rehabilitation/replacement of the North River Bridge, within the Township of HavelockBelmont-Methuen. The North River Bridge is located on County Road 46, approximately 800 m west of the intersection of County Road 46 and Anderson Road, and approximately 12.1 km north of the settlement area of Havelock.

likely to come and use the facility. There might be uses that haven’t been available in Trent Hills and Hastings in a long time, if ever, and we might be able to offer those programs for people.” Rose says they’re going to take a serious look at a family rate and have also heard from the public that a youth drop-in fee would be a good idea. Trent Hills also has a fee subsidy program. “That’s the kind of feedback we want.” The $410,000, 90-foot court area extension features an interlocking plastic sport floor which
produces a “ball reaction similar to a regular sport court,” Rose says. “You won’t notice the difference in how a tennis ball or basketball bounces.” The court area can be used for public meetings and community special events like the Hastings Waterfront Festival or Canada Day if they need to move inside or want to expand, he added. “We hope we can accommodate those needs.” Jennifer Little was at the Hastings meeting and liked what she saw. “It looks like it’s going to have
a lot of community involvement,” Little said. “I’m very excited for us to have a community place to go to have exercise, competitions and group sports. Trade shows on the courtyard would be a great way to make some revenue.” “It’s multi-generational,” she added. “It’s been too hard a winter to be out walking and those kind of activities have suffered.” “I’m excited to have something for everyone,” added Laura Van Meer. “This winter it was hard to get out. I look forward to having another option.”
We put you to work.
The project is being initiated as a Schedule ‘B’ undertaking in accordance with the MCEA, which applies to municipal infrastructure projects including roads, bridges, water, and wastewater projects. The study will include a review of structure rehabilitation/replacement alternatives, and associated potential impacts on the study area environment. Public and agency consultation is an important component of the Environmental Assessment process. Public and agency input are invited for incorporation into the planning and design of the project. A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held on Thursday March 12, 2015 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm at the Lion’s Hall, Havelock Community Centre, located at 39 George Street, to provide additional information, answer questions regarding the project, identify the nature of the work, and solicit feedback and comments. The PIC will consist of a drop-in type format with displays showing alternative solutions. Staff from the County and the Project Consultant will be present to answer any questions. Subject to comments received and the receipt of necessary approvals, the County of Peterborough intends to proceed with the planning, design, and construction of this project.

Jumping high for the heart’s sake means so much more to me and I hope it means so much more for them because not every child has that opportunity.” The money raised goes toward research specifically dedicated to research into childhood heart disease and youth physical activity. Fundraising dollars also go to outreach programs and helping to get more AED’s (automated external defibrillator) into public spaces. The event also reminds students that not all children are capable of sustained physical activity because of heart ailments. Drawing attention to that is something Lunn and the Jump Rope For Heart program does. As Lunn reminded students during an earlier visit to Hastings some children are born with “sick hearts” and
have limited opportunities for physical activity. One in every 100 babies is born with a congenital heart defect and 21 per cent of children requiring cardiac care are under one-month-old. More than half of babies born with a chronic heart defect will have to have surgery and 40 per cent are under one. Having a little fun with skipping ropes is an easy way to boost cardio and increase aerobic capacity, Lunn says. “When I was a kid that’s the thing you did at recess, you played skipping games and you didn’t think it as exercise because it was fun and games. [I hope] these kids Students at Hastings Public School pumped up the volume and took to the gym for their Heart and Stroke Foundation Jump keep jumping rope, having Rope For Heart fundraiser.

New community funds for Warkworth, Hastings, yet to gain support News - Trent Hills - Interest in creating Smart and Caring Community Funds for Hastings and Warkworth has been slow in building, says the Campbellford-Seymour Community Foundation. In fact, it’s barely got off the ground, as just $25,260 has been donated thus far toward the funds which the foundation hopes will do the same good in those communities that its fund does in Campbellford-Seymour. The meagre amount, which includes money donated to Campbellford’s existing community fund, is a far cry from the $2 million the foundation set out to raise as part of the Flourish campaign. And it’s well behind the $2.5 million Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation has collected thus far for new medical equipment, and the $500,000 Trent Hills has raised for better recreation facilities and leisure facilities. Altogether, the three partners set out to raise $7 million in support of their initiatives, with $4 million going to surgical services, diagnostics and patient care, and $1 million earmarked for a field house in Hastings, currently under construction, an addition to the arena in Warkworth, and a new arena and aquatic centre,
with walking track, in Campbellford (their combined cost is an estimated $33 million). Creation of the community funds is intended to give donors “the opportunity to leave a legacy” that will enable Warkworth and Hastings to have their own granting program that can respond to their “greatest community needs in perpetuity,” the foundation says. An endowment fund of $1 million could provide up to $35,000 in grants annually, it notes. In a recent presentation to high school students, foundation executive director Martha Murphy said the organization had been “very optimistic” in setting a goal of $2 million for the community funds but it had done so in the event a million-dollar donor stepped forward, as “has happened to other foundations” and which still “could happen to us.” With that in mind “we’re actually looking at it as being a $5-million campaign,” which will “most likely wrap up in December. “We’ll certainly consider the campaign a success if we get to that,” she said. To reach the million dollar amount for recreation, “we need 5,000 people in our community to send us a hundreddollar cheque,” Murphy said.
“We’re not sure that’s going to work or not … We’ll see how it goes.” In an earlier interview Murphy said establishing the community funds is “a long-term vision but you have to start somewhere … We know that’s going to take years to develop.”

News - Hastings - You could almost hear the heart beats thumping. Students at Hastings Public School pumped up the volume and warmed up another one of February’s record-breaking cold days with a Jump Rope For Heart extravaganza to support the Heart and Stroke Foundation. “It might be cheesy or cliché but it warms my heart,” Heart and Stroke Foundation area co-ordinator Sara Lunn said as she watched primary students fill the school’s gymnasium with their enthusiasm and boundless energy. “It’s just so nice, especially when they know the message behind it,” Lunn said. “It’s not just a typical gym class or recess fun; they know what they’re doing and why they’re doing it so I think it

There was an amazing article in Maclean’s this week on the New Leader of the Free World, Angela Merkel. How is her leadership described? Never a whiff of scandal, modest, hard working, consensus seeking, practising diplomacy, involving her partners, etc., etc. That is leadership and it is sorely lacking in this government of ours. Political correspondent Miriam Lau makes an interesting point. Merkel, she states, “is governing by reason, and around her she sees male helplessness. Obama’s call to arms (as well as Ste-

put the government onto radicals in their midst. It’s all so familiar. Dehumanize a certain group, for example Jews, First Nations people, blacks, and you allow bigotry and hatred to take you to places no civil society should go. When Harper came to power, he said, “Give me a majority and when I’m finished you won’t recognize Canada.� And hasn’t he just done that beyond his wildest dreams. He’s rammed through so many odious policies in huge omnibus bills, which virtually none of his MPs admitted to have taken the time to read and after little or no real debate.

OPINION
Murder in Moscow Editorial - “Every time I call [my mother],” said Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov recently, “she gives me a talking-to: ‘When will you stop being rude about Putin? He’ll kill you.’” Nemtsov Gwynne Dyer is Now dead: four bullets in the back as he was walking home in Moscow with his girlfriend on Friday night. The protest march against Putin and the war in Ukraine that he was planning to lead on Sunday became a memorial march instead. So, two questions. Did President Vladimir Putin order the assassination? And if he didn’t, then who did, and why? The hit was carried out with professional skill only three minutes’ walk from Red Square, St. Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin, in an area that is infested day and night by militia (police) on constant alert to break up demonstrations. You could put together a feature-length film with the footage from the countless CCTV cameras that tracked Nemtsov’s walk across the square and down to the bridge where he died. It took accurate intelligence to know where Nemtsov would be on Friday night, and serious organisation and planning to carry out the killing in such a heavily policed area. That points to members of the military or security forces, though not necessarily to ones who were acting on official orders. Because the first thing to say about this murder is that it did not serve Putin’s purposes. No doubt the Russian president disliked and despised Nemtsov, but neither he nor any other opposition leader posed any threat to Putin’s power. Thanks in large part to his seizure of Crimea and his military intervention in eastern Ukraine, Putin is currently enjoying an 85 per cent approval rating with the Russian public. Why risk upsetting this happy relationship with the first public killing of a senior political figure in more than a decade? It’s much more likely that the killing was carried out by serving or former soldiers or intelligence officers, who took it upon themselves to eliminate an “anti-patriotic” politician who condemned “Putin’s War” in

Ukraine. In the superheated atmosphere of nationalist paranoia that currently prevails in Russia, such people could easily imagine that they were doing just what Putin secretly wanted. As for the rest of the world (or at least the “western” part of the world), it has already written Putin off as a man you can do business with. The Russian leader is, in many Westerners’ eyes, an expansionist warlord who can only be contained by sanctions and threats. It may even take a new Cold War to stop him. Paranoia, alas, is a communicable disease. The Western narrative that seeks to explain how, in less than a year, we have arrived at a point where the United States is contemplating supplying heavy weapons to Ukraine to kill Russian troops, has several large gaps. The first is that the revolution on the Maidan in Kiev last winter overthrew a legitimately elected Ukrainian president only a year before the next elections were due. Putin initially accepted that outcome (with the elections moved up to only one month in the future), which was brokered by the European Union. In other words, he accepted the illegal overthrow of the proMoscow president, Viktor Yanukovych, so long as free elections followed rapidly. Quite possibly because he thought Yanukovych’s supporters in the east might boost him back into the presidency again. That same thought may also be why the revolutionaries in Kiev broke the deal and insisted on Yanukovych’s immediate removal from power. It was only then that Putin concluded that he was faced with a Western plot to whisk Ukraine into NATO and create a strategic and political threat on Russia’s southern frontier. There was no such plot: NATO has not the slightest desire to assume responsibility for the defence of Ukraine. But there was a great deal of open Western rejoicing at Russia’s discomfiture, and Putin lost his customary cool and responded with the annexation of Crimea and then the encouragement of proRussian rebels in southeastern Ukraine. “Absolute power corrupts absolutely,” said Lord Acton. “All great men are bad.” In that sense, Putin is a bad man, and more dangerous for being both paranoid and increasingly isolated. (His circle of advisers has dwindled to a handful of hawks.) But he is not planning to conquer even Ukraine, let alone the rest of the former Soviet empire, and he almost certainly did not order Nemtsov’s death.

Inclusive language is okay, but let’s call a spade a spade By Stephen Petrick Editorial - I was at an assignment recently when I let out a slip of the tongue. I asked an organizer how much “manpower” was involved in her event. “Human power” she corrected me, causing me to laugh nervously. I apologized and assured her I had no bad intentions; it was just a figure of speech. Truthfully, I have no qualms with people who lobby for more gender neutral language or what the Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board calls “inclusive language.” Some posters distributed by the board recently are calling for more inclusive language and were recently the subject of an intense social media debate. The posters encourage people to use terms such as “police officer” as opposed to “police man” or “chairperson” instead of “chairwoman” or “chairman.” This message, I believe, is well intended and it probably didn’t deserve all the negative feedback it received. But at the same time I understand some of the criticism because, at some point, you have to call a spade a spade. There’s nothing wrong with saying a “policeman” came to my house if the police officer was, you know, a man. One could argue that, for the sake of not being sexist, a person should say “quick, let’s call a police officer” instead of “quick, let’s call a policeman.” But that would be kind of stupid. In an emergency, who cares about such political correctness. Maybe my view of this is biased because I write words for a living and believe in good ol’ plain speak. I wonder if it’s really necessary to call someone “hearing impaired” if they are, by technical definition, deaf. And is it wrong to use the word “blind” instead of visually impaired?
Labels we give to people change over time, sometimes for good reason, and sometimes because of political correctness gone awry. Several years ago, when I flirted with the idea of a teaching career, I found myself taking a course on special education in New York State. I was shocked when the instructor used the word “mentally retarded.” I thought that word had been banished in Canada years ago, in favour of terms like “developmentally delayed.” But in some parts of the United States, I learned, it was still a common term (at least at that time)–I even found it in a text book, too. I’m not going to defend the use of the term “mentally retarded.” To me it sounds hurtful. But the fact that it was still commonly used in one area of the world, long after it was deemed insulting in another, says something about how appropriate language is ultimately just a judgement call. To be fair, retarded was once the new term used to stop labels such as “slow” or “imbecile.” But eventually it received a negative connotation and had to give way to new terms like “special needs” or “developmentally disabled.” And those terms will eventually have to be replaced–if they haven’t been already–with new terms, once they’ve been used for so long that they’ve ruffled the feathers of a few people the wrong way. The process will continue forever. My point is that there’s little use in fretting over what words should be considered appropriate or inappropriate. In many cases, the right answer is simply in the eye of the beholder and it’s based on their experiences. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be careful. Words can be hurtful, especially when they’re used at clearly the wrong time in clearly the wrong way. But sometimes they’re just words and they’re meant to be taken literally.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
More of the usual Liberal hypocrisy
Dear Editor, Liberal hypocrisy is stunning. The comment comes in respect to a recent Independent article “Difficult task ahead for hospital in trying to balance budget.” The provincial government has all the hospitals in Ontario on a balanced budget order, which is not a bad thing, but coming from this deficit-loving regime it’s a joke of the century. Why is it that this corrupt government under Premier Wynne seems to believe the health care system should be restricted to a sensible spending plan when the government itself has spent more and wasted

more taxpayer dollars than any other jurisdiction in North America with the exception of Obama’s socialist White House? If this government was not guilty of all the scandals and the staggering amount of money it represents every hospital in Ontario, including the one here in Campbellford, could easily be allowed to spend another 25 per cent in support of patients instead of threatened staff layoffs. Better still, why doesn’t the Wynne regime set an example by balancing its own budget? Seems to me the hospitals are actually showing the Libs how to be frugal considering
Campbellford will probably end up with a deficit of $20,000 on an $18.6 million operating budget for the 20142015 fiscal year. If only the Liberals had a similar record, they wouldn’t be the subject of such condemnation. Now at a time when the province can least afford it, facing a catastrophic deficit, the Wynne administration is pushing through a new sex-ed program for kids that will cost additional millions. And you thought all the insane people were in a mental hospital. Rolly Ethier, Campbellford

ness” about bullying in all its forms, Megan says. “That bullying is something that doesn’t go unnoticed. “People who wear pink won’t stand for it; they’re role models and leaders [and] a voice for those who don’t want to speak out or can’t speak out.” NDHS, she stressed, has a pretty comfortable school en-

We want to end it here,” Student Council member Kara Sicker added. “It is not fair to have someone come to the school and not be accepted and hurt.” The sea of pink shirts is also a reminder that students are there to “stick up for peo-
ple who are getting bullied,” Kara said. “We are making headway.” Kara says students and staff talk a lot about cyber-bullying which she called a “massive issue” in society today. “We do talk about it and that everything that you do put on the Internet stays there. You need to be careful. Students also realize if you say something over the Internet there is going to be a way to figure out who said it.”
Municipality scores major funding for water, storm sewer project
By Bill Freeman
News - Norwood - The Township of Asphodel-Norwood has scored a major funding coup that will help it complete a much-needed water and storm sewer upgrade for Murray Street and Robert Road. The township will receive $1,522,820 under the provincial government’s Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) which they applied to in December after successfully passing a preliminary stage intake in the fall. The OCIF will fund a maximum of 90 per cent of project costs up to $2 million. Asphodel-Norwood had applied for $5,522,820 for the project and will pick
up the ten per cent balance of $169,202. The Robert Road-Murray Road project is no stranger to pre-screening bids having suffered an earlier rejection by the province under the Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative (MIII). The project is a watermain, sewer and road proposal; properties on Murray Street are not connected to the village’s sewer system. The OCIF will support projects like the revitalization and repair of roads, bridges, and water and wastewater systems in small, rural and northern communities. The municipality had been told that there were not many Asphodel-Nor-

up to present a “speed meeting” activity that will give all students and staff, teaching and non-teaching, a chance to get to know a little bit more about each other during a series of quick, one-on-one conversations. “It will be effective. I feel it will help and benefit the school,” Student Council
president Megan Wilson says. “It opens up opportunities to speak longer. It allows them to connect and get on a familiar basis so those students feel more comfortable going to teachers or other students.” It’s a pretty straightforward activity with students having three minutes to introduce themselves to peers and staff alike. “It’s done in a fun manner,” teacher and Knights 4 Inclusion/Student Council advisor Diane Graham says. “It’s a fun way to get to know staff and their jobs.” If students get to know a little bit more about the person they’re talking to they might be a little more willing to talk to each other on other occasions, Graham says. There will be far less unfamiliarity in the hallways. “The student council has embraced the idea from Knights 4 Inclusion,” she said. The idea of pursuing the initiative flowed from a “School Climate” survey that was done at the high school which Graham says produced valuable data that is now available to staff and students. Susan Charchuck of Knights 4 Inclusion proposed the idea and it was “met with an excellent response by staff,” Graham said. That it follows Pink Day is a bonus NDHS Student Council president Megan Wilson and fellow member Brooke as well.

wood projects that would qualify for OCIF funding under its criteria. Road reconstruction was “off the table” because of the 3,000 vehicle per day requirement but the project did meet water and wastewater project criteria and was admitted to the application stage. One of the objectives of the initiative is to reduce area flooding in septic systems. Township council will have to decide how to pay for its ten per cent portion of the project costs. In applying for the OCIF funding it agreed to cover that balance. “These decisions don’t have to be made now but you have to be aware if we are successful we are responsible for our portion,” municipal treasurer Candace White told council as it prepared to submit its application in December. White suggested that a percentage of the municipal portion could be funded from the Norwood waste and wastewater rates and reserves as well as from the Asphodel-Norwood taxation levy reserves. The Robert Road initiative would not take place until at least 2016 because the township is gearing up right now for a major project on Spring Street. “That allows us to get more prepared for funding in the 2015 and 2016 budgets to allocate reserves,” White said at the time.

More volunteer drivers needed for Community Care By Sue Dickens
“What is the best way to choose a Realtor®?”
Oftentimes Sellers and Buyers realize that the Realtor® they are working with is not the best fit for them. Unfortunately when they do so, time has passed without being able to sell or purchase their desired home. To avoid this, keep in mind the following points when choosing an agent: s Interview several Realtors®: Ask them key questions such as whether they work part time or is committed full time to the real estate business; what kind of track record they have; whether you can speak with past clients directly and the agent’s list-to-sell ratio; s Marketing strategy: Marketing has evolved through the years and online marketing is now fundamental in order to successfully expose a house to the highest number of Buyers; s Beware of the “team” idea: A common complaint among Sellers and Buyers working with realty teams is that they only see the team leader the first time they meet and then they are delegated to a team member who they don`t necessarily know. Working with an individual Realtor means that the person you decide to work with is the person you will be working with; s Market Value: Ask yourself whether the price you are given is based on honest, unbiased and proven information. Stay away from anyone giving you a high price in order to get the listing; they must be able to back up their price with comparable sold listings; s Trust your gut feeling: Ask yourself whether you feel comfortable with the agent and whether he/she will care about the transaction as if it were his or her own. Watch for busy agents who won’t be able to commit to selling your home. Thinking about selling or buying? Call me. I will be happy to further explain how my approach may help you to buy or sell your home.

Currently CCN has about 30 drivers but the organization needs at least 40 to provide the service clients need. Scheduling is handled by the CCN offices in Campbellford and Hastings which service Trent Hills and include Trent River. Anyone interested in becoming driver is required to go through a few stages. “Our volunteer drivers are interviewed and screened and required to provide a police record check and two references.

because it was something to do,” he commented. “You get reimbursed a little bit, it’s a service and I enjoy doing it.” Clients pay drivers directly. “A local drive is $8 … driving is based on 37 cents a kilometre,” said Ryan. A trip to Peterborough costs $41. “If a client is on disability or WSIB [Workplace Safety & Insurance Board], or with Veterans Affairs we can bill that organization,” she noted. “Community Care Northumberland doesn’t cover any of the cost and we don’t get any money out of it,” she added.

She requires a walker for mobility and she does drive, but when winter comes she takes her vehicle off the road and uses the services of CCN’s drivers. “I’ve been using the service for at least six years,” she said. “I had surgery ten years ago and haven’t been able to walk again [without a walker] since then,” she said. Sybil uses a driver to get to appointments in Peterborough but she also needs a driver if she wants to go grocery shopping.

BIA’s function, operation subject of special information meeting News - Campbellford - With the Campbellford BIA set to hold its annual meeting next week, members unclear about its role and method of operation had their questions answered at an information session organized by the municipality. Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-Mac Lennan said Trent Hills arranged for a representative from the Ministry of
Kent Fitzhugh, from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, recently explained the role of the BIA and the rules governing its operation to members of the Business Improvement Area association. Photo: John Campbell
Municipal Affairs and Housing to deliver a presentation after receiving a number of questions over the last several months regarding the BIA’s function and regulations governing it. The need for a gathering of this kind became apparent last fall during the municipal election campaign when council, staff and candidates fielded and posed questions about the BIA’s role, and the nature of council’s oversight. Kent Fitzhugh made clear to those who attended the recent meeting that a BIA “is a child of the municipality” and that council ultimately is responsible for its actions. BIAs “that work well with their council” can make “tremendous gains,” he said. The key is to have good communication between the two, “understanding where the municipality wants to go with respect to downtown and businesses.” Council, which must approve a BIA budget, can ask for changes, but it “can’t add anything to it,” Fitzhugh said.
In some instances, negotiation might be needed to arrive at a compromise, he added. “It’s not always easy” for business owners to be involved in the BIA, because they are busy people and have little time to devote to its affairs, but when they “co-operate and participate and offer support,” it’s “amazing … what can happen when your BIA’s firing all cylinders and stuff does get done.” A BIA can be dissolved by council when it doesn’t work “or it just needs to stop for a while,” Fitzhugh said. However, individual businesses “concerned about the value” they are getting for the levy they pay cannot opt out, he said, so it’s important the BIA explain to members how it is spending the money it receives. A BIA can expand its boundaries if two-thirds of the businesses within the area to be added are in favour of becoming part of the association. What to do with downtown buildings that are an eyesore “is always a real tough one,” Fitzhugh said, because “you
can’t legislate good taste.” The BIA can try to encourage change by telling an owner it wants to promote the downtown’s heritage, and that others have agreed to the initiative, “but there’s no way you can make anybody do anything,” unless it’s a matter of public health and safety, or the municipality has a property standards bylaw. Trent Hills does but enforcement is triggered by complaint, CAO Mike Rutter said. The looks of a building doesn’t necessarily contravene the bylaw, but if the BIA were to sign a complaint saying it had “concerns … that would be a starting point for us.” Trent Hills Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MaFitzhugh said one BIA he worked with had a consultant do cLennan urged Campbellford BIA members to ata rendering of what a building could like “if it was really nice,” tend the association’s upcoming annual general which it used as “kind of a gentle nudge” for the owner to under- meeting March 12 at the public library .

Columbarium project gets boost By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - The Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Cemetery Board’s columbarium project has been given a significant boost by council in the form of an interest-free loan and grant totalling $13,000. The two, 24-niche units at Maple Grove Cemetery will fit nicely into the portfolio of services the board is able to offer given that it has seen a “significant increase” in cremation burials versus traditional in-ground burials, says board chair Larry Pick. In 2014 approximately 55 per cent of burials were cremation “inurnments,” Pick told council during a presentation of the board’s business plan and its request for financial support for the $17,730 project. Pick says the board invented the word inurnment to describe the cremation burials that were becoming increasingly popular; they’ve averaged 38 burials a year over the last four years and approximately 21 of those have been cremation inurnments. The board has had at least six “serious inquiries” regarding the columbarium inurnments, he added.
bag YOUR
“It is expected that this trend will continue with the possible increase in cremation burials.” The board received provincial approval in 2012 to set up an area at Maple Grove for inurnments and in the centre of that dedicated space there’s an area large enough to accommodate columbariums. At Maple Grove they’ve developed a total of 36, four- by four-foot and 16, two- by twofoot in-ground plots for inurnment burials. From a cost perspective Pick noted that cremation burials are less expensive than traditional casket burials. The Cemetery Board’s public fundraising campaign got off to a good start with a $4,000 donation by the Havelock Rotary Club and since then Pick says they’ve received two smaller contributions toward their $8,600 goal which they hope to reach by July, 2016. A public awareness and marketing campaign will help spread the word about the board’s fundraising initiative. The board would like to have the two units installed at Maple Grove this summer and will pay back the $6,500 loan in three years from a portion of the sale of niche units

which will cost $1,020 each. “We’re a little over half-way to the first columbarium,” Pick said. “We’re fairly certain we’ve got three of the niche sold. It will eventually be self-sustaining [but] at this point in time we need a loan to get it off the ground.” Council was impressed with the business plan and the detail it offered. “It is nice to get a business plan and see it here in black and white. It tells us a lot,” said Deputy-mayor Jim Martin. “Over the years we have done a lot of partnering and that’s kind of what you are asking for in this option. I do appreciate what you’ve put together to show us where you’re going in the future.” As a second possible option, the Cemetery Board asked for a $13,000 interest-free loan to be paid back over ten years; the $6,500 loan will be paid off in at least three years. “I like your plan. It would be more than fair,” said Councillor Barry Pomeroy. “The board has received a lot of calls and input from the community about a columbarium. The concept came from the community,” added Mayor Ron Gerow, also a member of the board.

“We represent pink” By Bill Freeman
News - Havelock - A single day of pink can represent all days free of bullying, students at Havelock Belmont Public School said during the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board’s Pink Day February 25. HBPS students will also participate in the International day of Pink on April 8, another celebration of diversity and an awareness campaign against all forms of bullying. “We represent pink so everybody can wear pink without getting bullied,” said Grade 5 student Stacia Drinkel. “Pink represents don’t bully at all.” With posters plastered around the school and a sea of pink T-shirts in the hallways, it was clear that HBPS takes its anti-bullying position very seriously and that’s something education assistant Terry Williamson and her colleagues
emphasize. “Every day is pink day,” Williamson said. The school’s educational assistants staff took the lead in organizing the HBPS Pink Day and will be very involved in the April 8 celebration. “We try to make HBPS a safe place [for students] to come to and to express themselves, whether it’s dress or talking about things. Everyone should have the freedom of thinking what they want.” HBPS staff are acutely aware of the emergence of social media in daily life and the fact that cyberbullying can be particularly pernicious, Williamson added. “As a school team we are addressing that,” she says. “That has become one of the most prevalent types of bullying that we see and we are making kids aware of it [and] they are catching on; they’re doing their own projects on it and letting
other children, younger and older, see what they’re doing and they’re getting the message across. “It’s always our hope that they continue to do that because high school creates a whole different environment.” School staff encourage students to continue their conversations around bullying at home and to practise respectful behaviour outside school as well. “They take it home to their family; it’s the whole teaching aspect of not having children afraid to talk about it at school or at home. Better to talk about than to hide it,” Williamson said. Student Taylor Lloyd agrees. “The Grade Six to Eights [students] are role models in this school,” Taylor said. “Bullying should be banned in schools and everywhere. We should stop cyberbullying and any type of bullying because it can lead to suicidal thoughts

and maybe even suicide.” “I think nobody should bully anybody any day for wearing pink,” said Grade 7 student Jacob Benjamin. “I think the message sinks through for most kids.”
By wearing pink students are showing their “solidarity” with those who might have been bullied in the past, Jacob said. It also sends a clear message to the bullies, he added.
Parking on Spring Street near school raises concerns By Bill Freeman
News - Norwood - A plan by the Peterborough Housing Authority to add four new parking spots at their Spring Street apartment complex does not sit well with the municipality which will continue to work with the public housing agency on a suitable solution. Parking along the west end of Spring Street near the junction with Oak Street, and near St. Paul Catholic Elementary School, has become a concern for township councillors who have raised the issue during two separate meetings, one in the fall and another in January. One of the discussions was in the context of asking Peterborough Housing if they could create additional parking at their complex at the west end of Spring Street. The apartment building already has 16 parking spaces. Peterborough Housing responded with a proposal to create four additional spots abutting Spring Street that would require users to back their vehicles directly onto the street when they exited. That proposal has been respectfully rejected by township staff. “The manager of public works is not really set with that plan considering that vehicles would have to back out onto the street and over the sidewalk,” Clerk Becky Bonisteel-Bourne told council.
The fact that St. Paul School is so close to the building adds to the concern, Bonisteel-Bourne added. “He is requesting that we continue to work with Peterborough Housing to find another solution,” she said. The Spring Street parking issue was raised in January by Councillor Debbie Lynch who noted that parking bylaws were not being enforced in that area. Mayor Terry Low said he could attest to the magnitude of the problem near the school where cars are often parking on either side of the street narrowing access to the road. “I tried to get down that road yesterday and it’s absolutely ridiculous,” Low said. “We should ban all parking along that street. If we ever have an
emergency it would be bedlam.” Low said he would like to work with public works manager Jeff Waldon and Peterborough Housing to come up with a solution to creating more apartment parking but also

set up and organized last year,” Vassiliadis said, although a fierce downpour forced organizers to shut it down soon after it began. Campbellford was one of three communities that served as a test for a relay that, at six hours, was half as long as previous relays. “The community did so well with that they rolled it out all across Ontario that people could have events during that time period.” The shorter event proved better “because we had more people commit to coming out and fundraising for us,” Vassiliadis said. “They felt they could do the six-hour event as opposed to overnight. So we had people come back who hadn’t relayed with us in a while and were happy to rejoin us again.”

of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs’ Downtown Revitalization program. The project, if approved, would assist merchants in targeting new customers and identifying new business opportunities, enhancing the downtown market, promoting a positive image, improving parking, and creating a safe and “walkable” community. Community development officer Lynn Phillips said the program would cover 75 per cent of a project’s estimated cost of $100,000, mostly for a coordinator’s salary and expenses, over a period of 18 months to two years. Councillor Cathy Redden, who was chosen chair of the Campbellford-Seymour Revitalization Committee, said “there’s always room for improvement” in a community. “How successful will be that future and how soon we get to where we’d like to be, that’s the issue,” she said after the February 26 meeting.

Theatre Co-operative Inc., said his online research has revealed “a big part of revitalization” involves decorating the community but he isn’t interested “in putting lipstick on a pig.” He’s looking “for something a little more meaty as a goal or result, in terms of long-term sustainable improvement.” Campbellford-area business owner Bonnie Wilson said appearances are important. “The town looks hideous in areas,” she said. “Why would you want to shop here, because the stores are run down, people don’t wash their windows.” She also said businesses need to keep consistent hours. “We have many very good shops in town and owners that are extremely service-orientated but I think we could do better,” she said. Trent Hills Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan said some “buildings that could use a little bit of sprucing up” are not the fault of the tenants who operate businesses but their owners. Floral shop owner Caroline Bingley said more events are needed in Campbellford in the summer because “you can shoot a cannon down the street three o’clock on a Saturday afternoon.” Campbellford is “a heritage town that just needs a facelift and it can be done with a coat of paint” and flowers, she said. “There are ways to make it happen without tons of money.” Bingley said she sees “businesses that are struggling and could use a little bit extra support, either because [their owners are] going to retire or [are] just bored with business, or they just don’t want to do it anymore. “Sometimes people lose their inspiration,” she said, and need to be reinspired. Canadian Tire owner Aaron Macanuel said revitalization “will play a key role” in attracting people, especially families with children, to Campbellford, “that’s where the future of the town will come Please see “Revitalization” on page 17

Raiders end Rebels’ season with four straight wins after losing series opener By John Campbell
Sports - Campbellford - That had to hurt–four straight losses that knocked the Campbellford Rebels out of the Empire B Junior C Hockey League playoffs. The team’s eight-point semi-final series with the Napanee Raiders started out on a promising note. Campbellford won the opening match 4 - 1 in Napanee and was on the verge of taking a four-point lead February 21 with a second straight win on the road, when it gave up the tying goal with 27 seconds to play in the third period and then lost 2 - 1 in overtime. The next day, the Rebels playing at home fought back from a 2 - 0 deficit to even the score, only to have the visitors pump in four unanswered goals over
the final 20 minutes to win 6 - 2. Napanee ended the series last week with back-to-back wins February 24 and 25, 2 - 1 at Campbellford and 4 - 1 at home. The Rebels outshot the Raiders 3833 in game four but managed just one goal, by Jeremiah Doherty at 2:29 of the first period. Tomo Mikuljan shut the door after that for the visitors, who scored twice in the second, the first just 22 seconds after the start of the period, to secure the win, withstanding a 19shot blitz by the Rebels in the final 20 minutes. Napanee advanced to the league final against the Port Hope Panthers with its 4 - 1 win at home the next night. It was a wide-open affair with the Raid-
ers outshooting the Rebels 51 - 41, but Cole Mahoney’s solid performance in net wasn’t enough to prolong Campbellford’s season. William Lameroux accounted for Campbellford’s lone goal. The Raiders took a 2 - 1 series lead February 22 when they directed 19 of their 41 shots at Mahoney in the Campbellford net in the third period while limiting their hosts to just two. The Rebels finished with 32. Colin Doyle, on a power play, and Karn Dart scored for Campbellford. Jeremiah Doherty assisted on both. Joey Poletto scored Campbellford’s lone goal in the pivotal game two loss at Napanee, which turned the series around.
Campbellford won the series opener 4 - 1 on the road February 17, on goals by Doyle (shorthanded), Nick Ferguson, Jacob Bennett and Jon Samis (power play). Mahoney stopped 36
shots. The league championship opened last Sunday with Port Hope, who finished first, winning 1 - 0 at home while outshooting Napanee 36 - 18.

from,” but change must come in stages. “If we try to do everything at once nothing’s going to happen, it will basically be putting lipstick on a pig which I don’t think is the right idea or right approach,” he said. Phillips said branding, beautification and events are three areas where the committee should direct its attention. Councillor Bill Thompson said the farming community, “maybe the biggest asset around here,” shouldn’t be ignored. The committee agreed its membership should include representation from agriculture and education, and will ask council to increase its number.

Area students shoot to score but have fun too
By Sue Dickens
Sports - Campbellford - Boys and girls from elementary schools competed on the courts of several area schools in the Regional Kawartha Pine Ridge Elementary Athletic Association (KPREAA) girls’ and boys’ intermediate basketball tournaments. Here in Campbellford the Boys Recreational Intermediate KPR East Cardinal Area Basketball Tournament was held last Tuesday. Eight teams from six schools participated as the players made their moves for a win. On the same day the Girls Recreational Intermediate KPR East Cardinal Area Basketball Tournament was taking place at Norwood District High School. The more competitive tournaments for the boys and girls were happening at the same time at other schools.
Students from Peterborough to Port Hope to Brighton were involved in the tournaments. Havelock, Hillcrest, Murray, Norwood, Spring Valley and Stockdale had teams competing in the boys recreational event at Campbellford District High School. The winning team was from Spring Valley with Hillcrest following in second spot, Norwood in third and Havelock came in fourth. “So some of the teams that wanted to be competitive had the opportunity to play in Brighton today, while this one is just a fun tournament for the kids,” commented convenor Scott Ashby, a teacher at Hastings Public School where he has taught for the past 11 years. “If a coach thinks a team would do well and have a chance to move on and play

other areas they enter the competitive tournament,” he explained. Each team has anywhere from seven to ten players. The recreational tournament allows the Grade 6 students to play alongside those from Grades 7 and 8. “That’s the whole recreational thing … it allows for some of the younger ones to get a taste of it and develop some skills to maybe play a little bit more when they are in Grade Seven and Eight,” Ashby noted. For students such as Austin Murray and Dawson Baptie, who are in Grade 7 at Norwood District Public School, the tournament gave them a chance to enjoy a sport they both enjoy. “I like basketball a lot and play at lot at school,” said Austin, who added, “We’re doing okay today.” Dawson also enjoys bas-

The complete round of playoffs for the league finished last Sunday, with second place going to Ennismore. So Percy will have a best two-of-three playoff against Ennismore starting this weekend (schedule yet to be determined) for the United Counties Hockey League (UCHL) Championship. “The battle for the championship will be a good one,” said
Whalen. Two of Percy’s ties in regular season and one tie in playoffs came from the hands of Ennismore.

Winning gold at Winter Games “amazing” experience: Brahaney Sports - Trent Hills - Jakob Brahaney returned home Monday packing gold after the teenaged rearguard helped Team Ontario win the under-16 men’s hockey tournament at the Canada Winter Games in British Columbia. The squad defeated Alberta 3 1 in the final played Sunday for its sixth straight win at the Games held in Prince George. “It was amazing, it was just a great group of guys that I had the ex-
perience of playing with,” Brahaney said. They were “really skilled” as well as “nice and funny.” The Grade 10 student at Campbellford District High School said “the atmosphere of the final game was unbelievable. “It was fun to play in and a great experience I’ll only experience once.” Team Ontario advanced to the championship by defeating Quebec 5 - 3 in the semi-final, Saskatchewan 9 - 0 in the quarter-final, and
three other teams in the preliminaries (B.C. 6 - 4, New Brunswick 6 - 0 and Manitoba 5 - 3) that began February 22. “Most of the games were really close, even the games that were blowouts,” Brahaney said. “They just ended up taking some penalties and we capitalized on those opportunities … It was a good tournament.” In the final, Team Ontario came close to recording its third shutout in the competition, as Alberta was
Flames run into penalty trouble

Sports - Campbellford - Staying out of the penalty box was going to be key if the Campbellford District High School Flames hoped to capture the COSSA AA boys hockey championship Monday afternoon. But the gate at the box turned into a revolving door as the team took a rash of penalties and yielded numerous power play goals in a 10 - 2 loss to host Haliburton Red Hawks. Assistant coach Doug Mathew was still livid the next day about the officiating in the championship match. “It’s not very often I blame a referee [about] a game but it was awful,” he said. So bad, he added, that parents of the other team’s players said after the game they were “really sorry about the officiating.” Campbellford ended up with 22 minor penalties to Haliburton’s seven. “We couldn’t get any shots on net because we were icing the puck the whole game,” Mathew said. “It was sad.” Haliburton winning came as no surprise, however. The Red Hawks topped the Kawartha Boys Hockey League in the regular season and defeated the Flames 6 1 in their only encounter. “There’s no question that they have a good team but they just didn’t need any help from the referees,” Mathew said. “We needed our best hockey game to beat them.” Mathew said the Flames “had a really good game in the morning” when it defeated Centre Hastings 3 - 2 on a goal by Stewart Battman, his second of the game, with three seconds left in the game. “It was a great goal,” set up by Nathan Dunkley, who had the other Campbellford goal. Dunkley “outworked the defenceman in the corner” and sent a back-door pass to Battman who cashed in the winning marker. The bench went crazy, “even us coach-

es [Brad Mountain and Jason Masters are the other two] were jumping up and down,” Mathew said. “It’s been a long time since a Campbellford high school team went to a COSSA final. So we were pretty excited for the boys.” The Flames, a young team, advanced to the second round

The Norwood Atom Hornets gave it all they had in the OMHA “DD” semi-finals against the Shallow Lake Lakers but fell short in their quest for the Len Bedell Memorial Trophy. After dropping the first two games on the road 1 - 0 and 4 - 3, the Hornets rallied for a rousing 3 - 1 home win to extend the series to a fourth game but their playoff journey ended in a 6 - 1 loss. The Lakers now face the winner of the Langton Leafs-Thamesford Attack series. Finishing in the top four out of a field of 16 Ontario Minor Hockey Association “AA” squads is still a pretty fair result for the Hornets. Norwood reached the semi-finals with a three-game sweep of the Brock Township Wild. Photo: Bill Freeman

Brahaney wasn’t in the lineup when his high school team competed for the COSSA AA boys hockey championship in Haliburton Monday. The host Red Hawks defeated the Flames 10 - 2.

News - Marmora - The Three Maples Sugar Camp, operated by Harry and Janet Dennis and family, was the scene of the prestigious event celebrating the start of the maple sap run for this
year. Each year, a different member of the Quinte and District Ontario Maple Sugar Producers Association (OMSPA) is selected for the honour to host the first tap. On hand to perform the official “tap-
ping” were invited dignitaries, Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp, Marmora and Lake Reeve Terry Clemens, and Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline. Many other associated maple syrup
producers, family, friends and neighbours were present to be given a tour of the facility, enjoy a visit before the busy tapping season, and a delicious pancake and syrup brunch. Chris Koopmans, president of the Quinte and District
Maple Syrup Producers, presented a plaque of appreciation to Harry Dennis for hosting the first tapping of 2015. The Three Maples operation taps approximately 2,000 trees total in the Quinte area, including the home farm at Old Marmora Road between Madoc and Marmora. Harry Dennis has been tapping maples for over 43 years, starting with the sugar bush his grandfather worked just across the road from the present location. Harry has worked the present location for the past 30 years. The maple syrup produced at Three Maples is worthy of being called world champion. This was proved at both the Royal Winter Fair, where the Three Maples Sugar Camp won a first place, and Harry’s proudest accomplishment in 2010, of first place for their Canada No. 1 light, over all other entries from the North American Maple Syrup Council. In 2008, the Dennis’ operation burned down, and they had to start again from scratch–a daunting task. Harry was surprised when a fundraiser was held to help in re-building the structure and the business. Donations were made, a silent auction was held, and the result was that the family was able to rebuild. Local businesses donated raw material, and services, friends helped in many practical ways, and today, the Three Maples building is decorated with original tools, and lots of vintage photos, and lovely paintings of sugaring scenes. A cozy wood stove puts out a welcome heat to the delight of those with chilled fingers and toes. The sugar shack of today is a hightech operation. The new evaporator at Three Maples is a forced air wood-fired model; others may heat with pellets, oil, or even electricity. Harry prefers the wood heat.

Call 613-473-2521 to arrange a tour. OMSPA is made up of maple syrup producers in the province with approximately 400 members. Ontario produces the second largest volume of maple syrup in Canada, following Quebec. At present, it is estimated that only four per cent of Ontario’s viable sugar bushes are tapped. Much of the Crown land in Ontario contains excellent sugar bush potential.
Marmora and Lake Township Reeve Terry Clemens drills the tap hole for the gathering of maple syrup at the “2015 First Tapping Ceremony” held at Harry and Janet Dennis’ Three Maples Sugar Camp on Saturday, February 28. Harry Dennis, Ed Tidman, of Tweed, a retired maple syrup producer, and Doug Stevenson, of Tyendinega Township, left, and on the right, Prince Edward-Hastings are obviously eager to sample the fine maple syrup produced by Three Maples Sugar Camp at their MP Daryl Kramp, and Centre Hastings Reeve Tom Deline express encouragement and plenty of First Tapping Pancake Brunch.

39th Annual Presquâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ile Waterfowl Weekend Events - Presquâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ile - The Friends of Presquâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ile Park are pleased to announce that after the coldest February on record, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Spring is in sight. And with spring comes the return of tens of thousands of ducks, geese and swans to Presquâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ile Bay. Waterfowl of up to 25 different species arrive each spring to rest and feed here before moving on to nesting areas further north and west. Each year, for the past 38 years, the Friends of Presquâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ile have been happy to sponsor the Presquâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ile Waterfowl Weekend to celebrate this natural phenomenon. The tradition continues in 2015 with the 39th annual weekend on March 14 and 15, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is truly a world-class natural spectacle,â&#x20AC;? says Park Naturalist David Bree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While these birds are present in March in numbers at various places along the Lake Ontario shoreline, Presquâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ile has some of the greatest concentrations and has easy access to good viewing locations.â&#x20AC;? Bree goes on to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big advantage to coming to the park during this weekend is you have access to spotting scopes to look
through and knowledgeable volunteers to help you ďŹ nd and identify the many species present, and of course we have some added attractions people can take advantage of at the Lighthouse Centre and Nature Centre.â&#x20AC;? The Nature Centre will feature childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities and crafts, duck displays, and a taxidermy display from Feather and Down Taxidermy, with Steve Dingman there to answer your questions. Carver Gary McPherson will also be present to showcase the art of bird carving and photography. The Lighthouse Centre will feature photography and art displays by Lynda Barber and Sherrie Greig. Of course the Friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gift Shop will be open. Plan on entering our spring rafďŹ&#x201A;e for great Bushnell optics. The Friends will also host a barbecue, where lunch, hot drinks and snacks can be purchased starting at 11 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The barbecue is always a great hit; a warm burger is just the thing come noon and I am glad we are able to offer this again this year,â&#x20AC;? says Bree. The Lighthouse Centre is also the location of the indoor washroom facilities,
an attraction in their own right on a cold March day. The Friends invite everyone out to share in this event. It makes a great outing for those who appreciate nature,
families and individuals alike. The only cost involved is a $10 per vehicle park entrance fee. Seasonal and annual park passes also honoured for entry. Proceeds from this weekend will go toward The
Friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; projects in the Park. We hope to see you there. For more information call 613 4754324 ext. 225 or email <david.bree@ ontario.ca>.

New member inspires others to write about why they volunteer with Friends of Ferris
By Sue Dickens
News - Campbellford - Friends of Ferris relies on its volunteers and the newest member hopes others will consider joining this non-profit group which has seen a dramatic decline in its numbers. At its peak the organization had 150 volunteers but that number has dwindled to about 30 people who dedicate time and energy to park events and activities.
“I chose to be a board member of Friends of Ferris [FoF] because I am passionately committed to nature and land to wander in,” said Marcia Perryman, of Hastings, who joined Friends of Ferris about a month ago. A hiker and a skier “with a love for camping in a tent,” she sees this as an opportunity to connect with other people with similar values and share the work involved.
And she hopes others might do the same so she hopes to get their message out by explaining why other board members joined asking them to write down why they like being a volunteer with FoF. Barb Hogan, president of FoF for the past eight years, said, “I was motivated to become involved … as my husband and I both love the outdoors and were looking to be involved with the community.”
Friends of Ferris (FoF) President Barb Hogan and her husband Bob are at one of the newer trail head signs they installed, just one of the projects the group of volunteers has completed in the past at the provincial park. A drop in membership numbers has prompted a new volunteer to help promote FoF by asking others to write about why they like being a volunteer with the group. Kite Day on May 24 kicks off the summer season of events. Photo: Sue Dickens
She said her presidency “is a humbling position when you are surrounded by such an eclectic and enthusiastic group of volunteers … I truly believe that Ferris is a natural jewel in Trent Hills and should not be taken for granted.” Many of the other volunteers agree that the love of the outdoors is what started them on their path to volunteerism with FoF. Sandy Chapman, secretary, is one of those volunteers. “I love helping out at all the projects put on by the Friends. I’ve met such wonderful people and consequently made good friends and learned so much about nature,” she wrote. “Volunteerism is critical for our society and this is one of the
B4 Section B - Thursday, March 5, 2015
ways I volunteer.” Carol Robertson joined about ten years ago and wrote, “As the board vice president I was determined to participate in activities designed to promote visitors.” She organizes the Spring Nature Walk, Fungi Walk, Trillium Walk and is chair of the dry stone wall workshop. “Working with Friends of Ferris, collaborating with the Ontario Parks staff and other groups is productive and invigorating; ensuring that visitors discover and enjoy the ever-changing and unique features of the park is … wonderful,” she wrote. Marlaine Bennett, also a volunteer, wrote, “I joined and
got actively involved in 2001 with the Friends of Ferris Park. Our family loves to hike and spend time outdoors enjoying nature so when I know a couple of people were a ‘Friend of Ferris’ it motivated me to look into getting involved …. “Friends plays an important role in bringing more campers to the park by increasing the number of sites with power, trails improvements and kiosks, better signage, new benches, fire grates and fun park events.” For her FoF is, “Great with the other ‘Friends’ [volunteering] for a common goal.” For more information about FoF or to join go to: <http:// www.friendsofferris.ca/friends. html or call 705-632-0894.
TRAVEL
A visit to Portugal ’s enchanting Sao Miguel Island in the Azores Lifestyles - Every Christmas, I plan and give a trip to my wife, and this year I thought it was time for us to do something a little different. Instead of visiting the southern U.S., Mexico, or another Caribbean island, I decided to plan our first visit to Portugal ’s Azores, which is actually a group of nine volcanic islands located in the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,300 kilometres west of Portugal ’s mainland. Our particular trip would take us to the largest and most heavily populated of this archipelago: Sao Miguel. I ’d found a great deal on the Internet via Travel Zoo <www.travelzoo. ca>, with a direct flight from Toronto to Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel via SATA International, their airline; it included our accommodations at Ponta Delgada ’s popular Lince Azores Hotel <www. thelince-azores.com/en>. Therefore, we found ourselves in this intriguing European destination just this past month. Indeed, it ’s winter in Europe now, too, but these islands are blessed by a mild maritime climate, so the temperature is usually between 14C and 25C year-round. We discovered we were visiting in “windbreaker weather,” for it was about 15C daily, or higher, so a light jacket was sufficient, and it was rather perfect for golfing, hiking, or touring around. We also discovered we were there during their annual Carnival, so we enjoyed seeing the school children in their fancy costumes, and we even became avid spectators during their traditional “Water Balloon Battle.” I found this particular event so fascinating I hope to write an entire article about it just prior to next year ’s Carnival. We did a lot of walking and exploring in Ponta Delgada, and Marion particularly enjoyed shopping for souvenirs for our grandchildren. We also discovered several enchanting, old, narrow alleyways, magnificent churches, informative museums, striking monuments, and a wide, spectacular promenade that took us along the picturesque harbour area. We decided that other not-to-be-missed attractions here included the beautiful 18th century

LIFESTYLES The Good Earth: Lifestyles - Gentle Reader, I am excited to let you know that my friend Tom Ogren has put out a new book. Tom is a most interesting fellow. His academic credentials are impeccable as is his meticulous research methodology. Tom is not some in-house writer for the chlorotic yellow pages of a lurid mail order catalogue; his body of work is professionally acclaimed and rather extensive. (As an aside, his western novel, Shadow Box Canyon, does put you in mind of Jim Mayo and Lucky Starr; his California songs and vocals will have you digging out your old Leonard Slye 33s.)
The Allergy Fighting Garden
I came across Tom’s writing in 2004 when he published Safe Sex in the Garden. Who among you, Gentle Reader, could resist that title? I was fascinated to read the connection Tom was making between the overuse of male, aka “clean” plants in our landscapes, not only in residential and commercial sites but also in our municipalities. You can read my review of that book in the archives of this paper. When the Kingston Lung Association hosted that city’s Spring Fling, I used Safe Sex and other writings as the basis of my talks. I clearly remember, earlier that year,
handling a large shipment of Brown’s Yew (Taxus x media “Brownii”) in full bloom; the pollen that arose in dusty clouds was impressive and soon had me coughing. I became a believer in Tom’s theories and we were soon corresponding. Over the years, Tom has moved from theory to fact with an overwhelming body of research. This is the book that puts everything together; this is, in my opinion, one of the most important gardening books to be published in decades. Really. The Allergy Fighting Garden is divided into two parts: Creating an Allergy Fighting Garden and
Probus Club honours special month News - Campbellford - Fun, friendship and learning, are the basic objectives of the Probus Club of Trent Hills. Probus Canada, the association representing 240 Probus Clubs across Canada has declared March as Probus month in honor of the first Probus Club in Canada formed March 17, 1987, in Cambridge, Ontario. Steve Campbell, past president of Probus Canada says, “Probus is a local, national, and international association of retired people who came together in non-political, non-profit , nonfundraising autonomous clubs which provide regular opportunities for members to meet others in similar circumstances and similar levels of interest, make new friends, and maintain and expand their interests.” The more than 150 members of the Probus Club of
Trent Hills embody the Probus definition. The monthly meetings at St. John’s United Church hall are filled with the lively conversation and laughter of friends coming together. The excellent speakers each month have informed, motivated and entertained the membership on a wide range of topics from health and history to our local hospital and community foundation. Club members have participated in trips and activities
from visiting CFB 8 Wing in Trenton, the Canoe Museum in Peterborough, birding in Presqu’ile, Cirque du Solei in Oshawa, to book clubs and scotch tasting. Past President Bill Hogle says, “Probus is filling a real need in Trent Hills of providing a venue that brings together an amazing range of talented people in our community to make friends, share experiences and have fun. Probus is one more reason that Trent Hills is a great place to live.”
the Allergy Fighting Plants. Part One introduces the reader to the dangers of pollen when it is present in overwhelming quantities. We get a quick but in-depth lesson of the types of flowers and where you might find them. Did you know that some flowers are male, others are female and others include both genders? Further, did you know that some plants carry only male flowers, some only female and some both? We learn how to identify trouble-causing plants and where they will likely exist in the landscape. In part two, we learn the OPAL system, a method of rating the severity of the health issues a particular plant’s pollen can cause. Then there are 180+ pages of rated plants. Mind you, Tom has travelled the globe extensively and the plant list reflects this. Doesn’t apply to you? Think about some of the tropical plants you pick up during the dreary days of winter. What follows is the
review that I posted on the Amazon and Barnes and Noble websites. Although I have often been asked to post reviews here, I have done so only twice for Tom and for Donna Dawson. I have turned down many similar requests. The Allergy Fighting Garden is the culmination of decade’s worth of research with the single goal of making our communities healthier places in which to live. As you read this book you will sense Tom Ogren sitting beside you; his writing style will engage you in conversation as you progress from simple botany lessons to the working chapter, selecting plants that will fit your landscape and your health. The comprehensive OPALS rating system is nothing short of brilliant. (By the way, that male yew has a rating of ten, the highest.) This is a good book but, more to the point, this is an important book. There is no longer any doubt about the direct correlation between male plants and

allergies. There is no longer any doubt about the direct correlation between allergies and the danger to health. If you talk to a nursery person or landscaper who discounts this concept, move on. Invite them to read this book, but move on. Tell them you’ll consider doing business with them once they have read it. I see this book as an important piece of the home library, a tool for the professional and a textbook for the educator. At the moment, GR, you can find this book only on line at either Amazon or Barnes and Noble. A quick check of the Chapters site was fruitless; perhaps they will consider carrying it.

evening’s musical competition with a set that charmed the audience and judges with her “flawless and natural country voice delivering hauntingly original songs.” Caleb and Megan started playing together as Instant Rivalry (IR) while attending high school. The Highway, a song off their first album, spent nine weeks on the independent charts reaching number two on the international charts and receiving international radio play. The duo toured Canada opening for big names like The Trews, Jefferson Starship, Honeymoon Suite and Sarah Cripps They have spent time in Nashville and are members of the Nashville Songwriting Association International.

Also performing was Jesse Slack accompanied by bass player Craig Fass who impressed the judges with his “punchy interpretations” of country classics as well as his own material and “commanding stage presence.” The audience was given a special treat with a surprise 15minute set by Spurvey along with songs by guest performer Jan Schoute.

Use common sense on ice News - Marmora - Central Hastings OPP has issued the following reminder. A few Marmora residents have expressed concerns for the safety of snowmobilers travelling on Crowe Lake near the mouth of the river as well as near Beaver Creek. Members of Central Hastings OPP would like to remind snowmobilers that no ice can be considered 100 per cent safe to ride on when snowmobiling on frozen waterways. Adhering to land-based Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) prescribed trails whenever possible offers the safest snowmobile terrain. They provide many trails that avoid water crossings altogether as well as bridges and culverts to pass over known water crossings safely. If you do make the personal choice to take the risk of travelling on ice by snowmobile, wait until a marked stake line is in place and cross only when you can follow it directly from shore to shore, without stopping on the ice. While ice crossing is never a sure thing, snowmobilers can also reduce their risk by: • checking ice thickness and quality before riding onto any frozen water; • understanding that ice conditions may vary from day to day, from hour to hour and from place to place; • never travelling on ice alone, at night or while impaired; • avoiding slushy ice, untracked ice, or ice near moving water or dock bubblers; • watching out for obstacles like rocks, stumps, docks, ice roads and fishing huts; • wearing a buoyant snowmobile suit and carrying ice picks. The OPP is committed to saving lives on Ontario’s highways, trails and waterways through the reduction of preventable injury and death.
