News - Havelock - Olympic gold medallist Katie Weatherston says sports has taught her “a lot of the life skills that we need.�

A national Under 19 soccer player before she became an NCAA hockey star at Dartmouth College and member of the Canadian women’s U-22 team then the national senior team that won Olympic gold in Torino in 2006, a world championship gold in 2007 and silver in 2008, Weatherston talked to The Independent during a stop at Havelock Belmont Public School (HBPS) last week.

Sports teaches “dedication, determination and discipline; that intensity, the passion to be the best you can be,� the 30-year-old Thunder Bay native said.

“That’s what you need to be a CEO of a company, a pro athlete or in the classroom. “When I come to schools I try to teach about the life skills you’re going to need. Hearing it from an athlete and not a teacher sometimes helps. That’s what we did on the national team and to be an Olympic champion; that’s the same stuff teachers are trying to instil in you, the same values.�

Weatherston played alongside Hayley Wickenheiser, one of Canada’s greatest athletes, and learned a lot from her. “She is such an intense hockey player, a hard worker on and off the ice. I saw a lot of my habits in her and it just pushes you to get to the next level; to have that determination to be one of the best players in the Please see “Lessons� on page 3

High school students compete in cook off.

News – Trent Hills – It could cost $400,000 to replace the Hastings Village Marina ofďŹ ce building and repair its docks because the boards for both are rotting. “The building’s in poor shape,â€? community services ofďŹ cer Scott Rose told council recently, and “a lot of the docks need to be resurfaced.â€?

The cost of ďŹ xing the dock’s boards have been increasing annually but it’s “up to a fairly signiďŹ cant number now,â€? CAO Mike Rutter said. “When you have wood sitting in water 365 days a year it’s not ideal, we need to be ďŹ xing those docks because it is a risk.â€?

The municipality has earmarked $15,000 for marina repairs this year.

Replacing the marina ofďŹ ce is “a big dollar itemâ€? council will need to deal with down the road, Rutter said.

The building “was a car sales ofďŹ ce before (and) was never intended to be in this use for a long time.â€?

He said putting in a new ofďŹ ce won’t be inexpensive because “a higher level of engineeringâ€? is required for a public building that’s accessible

than is required for a house.

Councillor Bill Thompson wasn’t pleased the municipality will be stuck with the bill at the marina.

“This is something we were never supposed to be involved in,” he said. “It was supposed to pay for itself and somebody else was supposed to be taking it over.”

The marina recorded deficits of $49,000 in 2012 and $28,800 in 2013 and is projected to top those numbers in 2014, at $51,130.

“At one point we looked around for somebody that would take it over,” Deputy-mayor Bob Crate said. “So far we haven’t uncovered that rock yet.”

Rutter said who would ultimately assume operation of the marina “was the elephant in the room” when he became CAO more than

a decade ago.

“We have looked for private operators, certainly in the development of the marina,” he said. “Volunteers were doing it but it was just not an effective way to run it as an operation at all. I’m not sure what the options are.”

Rutter said the marina is situated at “a great location and the potential may be there in the future. We’re just not there yet.”

Mayor Hector Macmillan said the facility is “a valuable asset” because it’s become “an economic driver in the community.”

Rutter said in an interview that, “long term, we know we need to replace” the building, but when is still to be determined.

“It depends on where council sees it as a priority,” he said. “My sense is that we’ll carry that on as long as we possibly can.”

News – Campbellford – “Every year the calibre of these young speakers just gets better and better,” said Campbellford Legion Branch 103 President Sharon Hay. She was speaking to parents, family, friends and Legion members who gathered for the annual public speaking competition.

Students from three Campbellford schools participated, including St. Mary Catholic Elementary School, Kent Public School and Hillcrest Public School. They were the winners of their school’s public speaking event.

There were 19 students in total, four in the Primary level category, nine in Junior and six in Intermediate.

Two students from Kent Public School took first place, Kira Seito in the Primary category and Stephen Spencer at the Intermediate level.

First place in the Junior category was Matthew Doherty of St. Mary’s.

“I was nervous but once I got up there I had a lot of fun,” Kira told the Trent Hills Independent after the competition.

Matthew agreed.

“I was really nervous going up but once I got on stage it was awesome,” he said, adding that the use of humour in his speech, “probably helped a lot.”

For Stephen Spencer it was a bit nerve-wracking to start.

“I was a bit nervous but once I got up there I knew I was going to be fine,” he said.

All three are looking forward to competing in the Legion’s Zone level competition later in March.

The speeches by the students covered a wide range of topics. For example, there was one about the family’s French Bulldog, another about their baby sister, another about Dr. Norman Bethune and a couple about summer camp, with several focused on Canada’s national sport, hockey, and what is means to be

Canadian, as well as the important role of Canada’s peacekeepers.

“This year was a change in the primary division competition. In the past it was a retelling of a favourite published story but this year had to be an original story. I think that those who competed did an excellent job of original storytelling at the primary level,” noted Hay. “All of the speakers today did an excellent job and are to be commended for their participation,” she added.

A retired teacher, Hay also noted to the audience, “It always amazes me how well our young people do in public speaking. It’s not always easy to get up here and these children just get up and just shine and do a wonderful job.”

Don Ramsey, The Zone F2 Commander, was at the competition and spoke to the parents and students.

“Public speaking for the youth of Canada is the most fantastic thing the Legion has as an event. The youth of Canada and every one of the young people here today are who we depend on for our future.”

Hay talked about the importance of the competition.

“Public speaking is a bit of a dying art and some people question the significance and importance of it and why we continue,” she said.

“When you participate in public speaking it gives you more confidence and you are more comfortable and I think you can tell from these students up here as far as I was concerned they were very comfortable and did a great job.”

Participation certificates were presented to all the students.

The three judges who were thanked for their time and expertise were: George McCleary, Mary Brown and Margaret Elmhirst.

The Zone F2 competition will take place at the Colborne Legion, Branch 187, March 29 at 1 p.m.

world. She had it on and office the ice.”

Along with injuries, Weatherston, now sidelined from professional hockey with a serious concussion, overcame the challenge of not being the biggest player on the ice and takes her position as hockey role model seriously.

“When I was a kid I was the only girl and it was hard for me at times being young and knowing how to deal with that. I try to be a good role model, especially for girls who might not have female role models to look up to; just showing them you can get so much out of sports and being active and having a healthy lifestyle.”

Weatherston is pleased there are more girls hockey teams and leagues now as well as continued attempts to grow the sport professionally.

“There’s tons of girls playing across the country and they have teams and leagues; that’s something that wasn’t there for me.

It’s awesome to see.”

She adds to it by running an all-girls hockey school.

“I try to promote the game as much as I can in Ontario.”

Olympians are in the spotlight once every four years and should get more attention, Weatherston says.

“It would be nice to see a little more support at times but it brings the country together.”

She watched the 2014 gold medal game “with a bunch of strangers” but she says there was a real sense of unity.

“Going to the Olympics, the cool thing I learned is that everyone wants to say ‘Hi’ to Canadians. We are one of the most liked countries in the world and that’s pretty impressive to be part of that. I pass that message on to kids [that] we are from a great country with great values and we’re wellrespected around the world. That’s something to be proud of.”

News – Warkworth – Eight students from Percy Centennial Public School competed in the Warkworth Legion, Branch 380, public speaking competition.

Judged on voice quality, dramatics, pronunciation and correct use of grammar, there were two students in the Primary category (Grades 1 to 3) and six students in the Junior category (Grades 4 to 6).

Topics ranged from a very animated presentation on wakeboarding to “my poppa the firefighter,” to the history of Coca Cola to a story of family life and more.

“This competition is meant to give young people an opportunity to speak in public and I don’t doubt among them are future politicians, leaders of organizations who will remember this as the beginning of their illustrious career,” said Dennis Delziel of the Warkworth Legion, who emceed the event.

Taylor Walsh, Grade 3 at Percy school, won first place at the Primary level.

“My poppa is a firefighter and that was easy to talk about. It took a while to write my speech but then I started practising. It was hard to remember it all because there was a lot,” she told the Trent Hills Independent, after receiving her certificate.

“But it wasn’t difficult although I was a little nervous when I started. It was easy once I got going,” she added with a smile.

Winners of the public speaking competition hosted by the Warkworth Legion, Branch 380, are: front and centre, left, Stephan Dodgson, first place Junior level; front and centre, right, Taylor Walsh, first place Primary level. The other winners are: back, from left, Lily Morin, second place Junior level; Nathan Trotter, third place Junior level; and Kyra McReelis-Fox, second place Primary level. Photo: Sue Dickens

Stephan Dodgson, (who spoke about wakeboarding and used props) is in Grade 5 at Percy school, and he won first place at the Junior level.

When asked if he was nervous he replied, “Well it wasn’t more here, it was the practice that was the hard part.”

Both first place winners will go on to the Zone F2 level competition to be held later in March.

Second place at the Primary level was won by Kyra McReelis-Fox. Second place at the Junior level was

won by Lily Morin and third place went to Nathan Trotter.

Judges for the competition were Gary Hoag, Nicole McMurray and Brenda Partridge.

As well timekeepers and scrutineers were on hand for the event.

Youth education chair Karen Delziel organized the competition.

The Zone F2 public speaking competition will take place March 29 at 1 p.m. at the Colborne Legion, Branch 187.

Foxie Foxie is a gorgeous dark tortoiseshell. She is a loving friendly cat.

Foxie has quite a story for a young lady.

She was abandoned at a feral colony when she was less than one year old. When the colony caretaker passed away, Cat Care Spay Neuter Initiative (CCSNI) was asked to trap, neuter and relocate this colony (not something we recommend or do often). We found a responsible feral colony caretaker who agreed to give six cats a new home after they were neutered. Foxie was living outside with the feral colony until she recently decided to move inside at her foster home.

She is very affectionate and sweet. Foxie would really love to have a forever home where she can always be inside with her human family. Like all of our other rescued cats she needs a “forever”home.

Many of the feral cat stories would make you sad but it is the goal of CCSNI to trap, spay

and neuter (TNR) as many feral cats as we can and turn their lives around for those who can be socialized and find them a good home. The feral cats are often returned to their colony where they will live out their lives without having any more kittens or contributing to the overpopulation of unwanted cats.

We have an adoption process and ask a fee of $125 for kittens and $100 for cats, which helps cover the costs of spay and neutering and vaccinations. It is only a fraction of the cost so that is why we ask for donations too and do fundraising on a regular basis. This month our adoption fees are reduced to $75.00 for kittens and $50.00 for cats.

We are all volunteers who care about feral, free roaming, homeless and abandoned cats.

Golden visit by Olympic star Library friends do their bit

By Bill Freeman

By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - It’s by far the heaviest medal Katie Weatherston has worn but the Olympic hockey gold medal she won in 2006 is a priceless personal testament to patience, determination and a positive attitude.

“They’re super hard to win and it’s very special to my heart,” she said during a visit to Havelock Belmont Public School (HBPS) where the 30-year-old Thunder Bay native and former national team member talked to students about setting SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely) goals and some of the obstacles she had to overcome to make the Olympic squad and the subsequent world championship gold and silver wins.

Weatherston, a national Under 19 soccer team member until an ankle injury in 2001, was also part of two Under 22 world championship hockey teams and won gold medals at three Four Nations Cups.

She was actually cut during an Olympic team tryout.

“It’s no fun, I cried, I was a little angry and I lost my confidence. I was discouraged.”

But she was also determined to overcome that challenge and get back on the team but to do that she also had to fight her way back to health after ankle surgery left her on crutches for two months; that left her off skates for three months and demanded “a lot of hard work” to get back into physical condition. Then, on the last day of training, she crashed her bike and suffered serious facial injuries.

“After that I kind of gave up hope.

I thought ‘I might as well just quit,’”

Katie Weatherston holds her 2006 Olympic gold medal while sharing some camera time with HBPS Grade 8 students Holly Wilson, Payton Tummon and Shannon Scriver. Weatherston, also a member of the 2007 world championship national team and 2008 silver medal squad, talked to students about goal-setting and overcoming personal challenges. Photo: Bill Freeman

she admitted. “If you’re ever feeling that low you need to talk to someone about it. My little voice in my head was telling me to quit.”

Weatherston didn’t quit; she talked to a friend who talked to her about the need for patience and a positive attitude.

“I had to change my thoughts to positive. My long-term goal kept me from quitting.”

Her conversations with her friend were critical in getting Weatherston back into a position to make the Olympic team.

“I am happy my friend talked be out of quitting.”

Weatherston scored four goals at the Olympics including the semi-final game winner against Finland.

When the gold medal was put around her neck in Turin she shared the moment with her parents and friends.

“I shared it with all the people who supported me. I had a lot of people help me along the way.”

Since the Olympic and world title, Weatherston has been invited to carry the Olympic torch in Thunder Bay and was part of a local Olympic cauldronlighting ceremony and this past fall she was inducted into the Northwestern Ontario Sports Hall of Fame.

News - Hastings - With a little help from their friends the Hastings Library will soon have a large print reading nook in a re-designed corner room inside the branch at the Civic Centre.

The Friends of the Hastings Library have stepped up once again to provide supportive assistance to the busy branch, part of the Trent Hills Public Library, which will be doing some revamping as part of the public library’s accreditation process. Consultancy assistance has been received from the Southern Ontario Library Service (SOLS).

The accreditation process follows the Ontario Public Library Guidelines which were developed to improve the quality of library service across Ontario.

“Libraries can work with the guidelines to develop a comprehensive process and plan for improvement,” says the SOLS. “Public libraries who meet the guidelines requirements can request a formal audit. Accreditation will be granted to libraries achieving a successful audit.”

The Trent Hills Public Library has applied for accreditation for all three branches, says Hastings librarian Shirley Coughlan. A consultant from the SOLS has visited all three branches (Hastings, Campbellford and Warkworth) providing suggestions on things like the efficient use of space and accessibility.

“The consultant was excellent with suggestions,” Coughlan said.

One of the things they will do is “re-vamp” the room that now houses Coughlan’s office, book sale items and large print books. They will add some

additional shelving and as well as create a small reading nook with a chair and table by the large print collection.

Library staff will also buy a print in memory of staff member Bernadette McDermott who recently passed away.

The print and a plaque will hang near the reading area.

“The whole little area will be a nice remembrance,” Coughlan said.

The Friends of the Library are going to buy the table and chair.

Pat Funk, a member of the public library board and the Friends says accreditation is a “good thing” and working with the SOLS has been fruitful.

She is happy the Friends can contribute to the reading nook.

“It’s nice to be able to do little things like this room,” says Funk. “The Friends take the worry off the budgeting because the Trent Hills Public Library has a very tight budget and it’s very difficult to find the money to do it. That’s where the Friends come in handy.”

“I really don’t think the money for these extra bits are in the library budget,” Coughlan added.

“Every year we do small projects and it helps the library,” said Friends president Joyce Higgs. “That’s why we’re here with things like book sales.”

The Friends have provided a display case for DVDs, a fireplace and genealogy resources.

The Friends of the Hastings Library have 12 members.

“It’s a good size for a town this size,” says Funk. “It’s not too big. I think we accomplish a lot more because we are small. It’s my favourite group I belong to.”

“New members are always welcome,” Higgs added.

of fulfilling the first part of its long-term seniors master plan which is a 128-bed long term care facility.

The municipality has been waiting since July 2011, to receive a formal reply from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care to an official application it made for LTC bed allocations.

The Township has had a plan on the books that would facilitate the building of a 128-bed nursing home on an 18-acre property off Old Norwood Road which already been zoned for a seniors-related development that could also include a medical centre, assisted living units and geared-to-income senior’s apartments. A day-care centre and other “integrated community opportunities� are being considered as part of the proposal.

HBM has been working closely with AON Incorporated on plans for the estimated $13-14 million two storey facility which AON would build 9 days/ 7 nights/ 12 meals and operate.

The move by the federal government is â&#x20AC;&#x153;welcome news for Canadian communities,â&#x20AC;? says FCM president Claude Dauphin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sends a clear message that the government of Canada fully agrees that local governments need to know basic information about dangerous goods being transported through their communities,â&#x20AC;? said Dauphin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lac MĂŠgantic tragedy and recent derailments in other parts of the country have underscored the critical role that municipalities play in planning for and responding to rail emergencies involving dangerous goods.â&#x20AC;?

News - Havelock - The municipality will take the advice of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and register with Transport Canada so it can get annual reports about dangerous goods transported by railway.

The FCM is urging municipalities to register following a recent announcement by Transport Canada about a new regulation that requires railways to share dangerous goods information with municipalities.

The new regulation is an â&#x20AC;&#x153;important development for the municipal sector,â&#x20AC;? says the Association of Municipalities of Ontario which has forwarded the FCMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to members including HBM The FCM is surprised that so few municipalities have registered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been informed that only a very few number of communities had registered as of the end of January,â&#x20AC;? said Daniel Rubinstein

Recent windfall should be used to pay down Trent Hillsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; debt Dear Editor, Two articles drew my attention in the February 27 edition of the Trent Hills Independent. The ďŹ rst was entitled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Power rights dispute settledâ&#x20AC;? and the second â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trent Hills residents in line for small decrease in property taxes.â&#x20AC;?

The ministers of ďŹ nance have been preaching the hazards of too much debt. Although their topic is consumer debt, I think that the same message

could apply to other debt as well. Perhaps it is time for Trent Hills to consider using this windfall to pay down its debt. The elimination or reduction of debt servicing (interest and other charges) would help lower taxes or at least increase the cash ďŹ&#x201A;ow for other necessary municipal charges.

Sincerely, Jim Orr, Warkworth

We must include not just more voters, but more voices in the laying out a vision for our country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a vision where we ďŹ nd common ground and work together for a better Canada, a Canada that will once again lead the world in doing what is right because it is the right thing to do! We can no longer run our country in a manner that suits the interests of a party. That path leads to ruin for all Canadians. Canadians deserve better and should demand better.

Entertainment - Peterborough - The MUSE International Fine Films, a program of the Peterborough Museum and Archives, presents the Academy Award nominated film Gloria for two showings on March 24 at the Galaxy Cinemas in Peterborough.

The acclaimed Chilean film by SebastiĂ n Lelio is presented in Spanish with English subtitles and has already earned Paulina Garcia a Sliver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival for her performance as a vivacious, middleaged divorcĂŠe who finds what may be her last chance for love while grooving on the dance floor of the local singleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s club.

The film is â&#x20AC;&#x153;brilliantly scripted and energized by a keen sense for musicâ&#x20AC;? with Lelio sensitively portraying a woman facing the reality of aging. Bubbly and exuberant, Gloria is unwilling to compromise in affairs of the heart.

This is a common thread with the Harper Government: if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like someone looking too closely or disagreeing with their view, then attack, bully, manipulate, obfuscate, circumvent and ultimately change the laws to better suit their purposes.

We cannot allow this to continue! Not only are our democratic institutions being undermined, the future of our country is being unnecessarily jeopardised just to appease their desire to rule. We need to once again strengthen our democratic institutions. More importantly, we need to start to ďŹ nd common ground. We have to get past the polarization, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;us against themâ&#x20AC;? mentality.

one of the most important rights of citizenship: the right to vote in fair elections.

There is much that is not fair about the Fair Elections Act. It is a blatant attempt by the Harper Government to once again undermine our democracy. Changes to the act that minimize the vote in a sector of the population least likely to vote Conservative is deplorable. Once again, Harper is showing his true colours: Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Government is only interested in their base, plus the 10% of the populace that they have micro-targeted to most likely vote Conservative. Forget the rest of the electorate; forget about the rest of Canadians. They would prefer the rest of us just to stay home.

What is even more disconcerting is the Harper Government goal of minimizing another thorn in their side, by minimizing the ability of the Chief Electoral OfďŹ cer to perform the duties of his original mandate. If they truly wanted a fairer electoral process they would give the Chief Electoral ofďŹ cer more power and more importantly more resources to perform his task. The problems in the Act are not with the mandate of the Chief Electoral ofďŹ cer, but with the lack of resources for him to properly investigate the wrongdoings perpetuated on an unsuspecting electorate. But Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Conservatives do not wish to ďŹ x the real problems with the Act. They would rather ďŹ x the problem with the Chief Electoral OfďŹ cer investigating their misdeeds.

Dear Editor Daryl Krampâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments in the press last week in support of the (Un) Fair Elections Act were typical Conservative propaganda. Equally disappointing was that he voted (along with the entire Conservative caucus) against the Oppositionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call for cross-Canada Committee Meetings to discuss the Fair Elections Act. Think about that!

Rather than being able to tell Parliamentarians in their own communities the concerns they might have about this Act, Canadians were told they could drive to Ottawa or Skype in if they wanted to provide feedback to

OPINION

Connected to your community

A premature history of the second Cold War Editorial – The first mistake of the Ukrainian revolutionaries was to abandon the agreement of February 23 to create a national unity government, including some of the revolutionary leaders, that would administer the country until new elections in December. It would have left President Viktor Yanukovych in office until then, but with severely diminished powers, as the constitution would have been changed to restore the Gwynne Dyer authority of parliament.

Leaving a man who ordered the murder of dozens of protesters in power even temporarily was a bitter pill to swallow, but it had tacit Russian support because it saved President Vladimir Putin’s face. However, the crowds on Independence Square refused to accept the deal, and Yanukovych was forced to flee.

Parliament subsequently ratified his removal, but it was the mob, and especially the right-wing fighting groups like Praviy Sektor, who led, and the leadership who followed. Putin was humiliated, and he was given the pretext for claiming that Ukraine had fallen to a “fascist coup” as a justification, however flimsy, for rejecting the legitimacy of the new Ukrainian government.

The second grave error – and this one was entirely unforced – was the new government’s decision to repeal the law giving Russian equal status as an official language in provinces with large Russian-speaking populations. It delighted Ukrainianspeaking ultra-nationalists in the west of the country, but it needlessly alienated the two-fifths of Ukraine’s population who speak Russian as their first language.

So now Putin is bringing pressure on the new Ukrainian government by backing a secessionist movement in Crimea (where three-fifths of the people speak Russian). The rubberstamp Russian parliament has also granted him authority to use Russian troops elsewhere in Ukraine to “protect” Russians – by which it seems to mean Ukrainians in eastern Ukraine who speak Russian, although they are not actually under attack.

Putin has not yet sent Russian troops into the eastern parts of Ukraine. However, pro-Russian crowds have appeared in cities like Kharkov, Donetsk and Lugansk demanding Russian “protection” amid plausible reports that many people in those crowds are actually Russians imported from just across

the border for the occasion, and not Russian-speaking Ukrainians at all. The promised Ukrainian election on May 25 may never happen.

The Ukrainian army has been mobilised, and actual fighting could be only days away if the Russians invade eastern Ukraine, or attack the encircled Ukrainian garrisons in Crimea. Maybe Putin is just bluffing; more likely, he doesn’t yet know himself how far he is willing to go. But one thing generally leads to another, and some bluffs are hard to walk away from. Are we on the brink of a new Cold War? It wouldn’t be a hot war, except in Ukraine. Nobody will send troops to defend Ukraine, nor should they. Nobody is in position to stop Russia from conquering Ukraine if it chooses to, and turning it into a wider European war (or a world war) would not help matters.

In any case, Moscow would probably not try to conquer all of Ukraine. Kyiv and the west would fight very hard, and after they were defeated they would continue to resist a Russian occupation with guerilla tactics, including terrorism. Putin doesn’t need that, so part of Ukraine would remain free, and call for outside help.

It would come, in the form of financial and military aid, and maybe even what has hitherto been rigorously excluded from the discussion: NATO membership. And there Russia and everybody in NATO would sit for the next five or ten or twenty years in a frozen confrontation that would include a trade embargo, an arms race, and a remote but real possibility of a nuclear war.

This is not at all what Putin intends or expects, of course.

He is calculating that once he controls the Russian-speaking parts of Ukraine, he will be able to enforce a restructuring of the country as a federation in which the government of the eastern, Russian-speaking part will be permanently under Russia’s thumb, and will have a veto on the decisions of the central government.

But Putin’s calculations about Ukraine have been wrong every single time since the turn of the century. He backed Yanukovych before 2004, and the Orange Revolution proved him wrong. He backed Yanukovych even more enthusiastically after 2010; the policy blew up in his face again. And here he is yet again, backing Yanukovych as the president-inexile of his Russia-friendly fantasy version of Ukraine.

His calculations are wrong. If he continues down this road, he will cause a quite needless political disaster.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Informed voters have the power to make change Dear Editor I feel compelled to write this letter because of the things I have read or heard in the news.

We all know that Wynne will have to call an election sooner or later. Hopefully sooner before we are even further down the toilet than we are now. Hence the time is now to start following what this collection of clowns we call politicians are saying. Irregardless of the “fact” that we all know we can’t trust a politician’s promises, especially at election time, you can still glean some insights into the way they think. (scary as that may be.) Also look at their past performance and voting record on different bills and such. How many times has a politician said one thing and then voted the opposite. We all know these self-serving liars will promise what you want to hear until they get elected and then it’s so sorry, no can do.

If you vote without knowing the issues you are just as bad and useless as the ones who don’t vote. If you vote for a person or party just because your parents did you are part of the problem and not too smart either. If you think jokers care

about you give your head a shake, they don’t unless it’s good for their career.

People, if you are literate at all you “know” that politicians always look after themselves first. Sure, once in a while they throw us a bone, but only after all their buddies and loud mouth special interest nuts have picked it pretty clean. Politicians know that special interest groups get some voters out so they will entertain their ideas no matter how zany or unrealistic their demands.

We do have the power to change things. Informed voting is one of those powers. Remember we hire politicians by voting and we pay them through taxes. So contrary to popular belief and the way politicians think, they are our employees. It is time to start making these egotistical and self-serving bunch of clowns toe the line and start doing what the majority of us know is right. After all that’s what democracy is all about.

Memories of 2008 come flooding back

By Stephen Petrick Editorial – I’m not an expert on weather, but I subscribe to the theory that every few years Mother Nature gives you an abominable winter. This seems to be one of those. The image of tall snow banks and the chill of -20C March weather is taking me back to 2008, the last time we got a mega wallop of snow that lasted into spring.

The snow that year eventually turned to water and the Moira River in Belleville overflowed, leading to stories of sorrow, laughter and even some heroics. I’ll never forget it because it was part of my first full year living in our region of river-based communities and one of my more interesting experiences as a young journalist.

I had moved from my native town of Kingston to Belleville just months earlier to work for a daily newspaper. The loneliness of such a move wasn’t helped by the bone-chilling cold and relentless amount of snow.

The biggest blizzard, I recall, was the last one. It lasted two full days of March Break and once snow ploughs got on the roads, the snow banks seemed about ten feet high. I remember it took me hours to shovel off just a single parking space at my apartment.

The sight of large snow banks in broad daylight at 7 p.m. was a memorable experience, too, since daylight savings time had just moved to mid-March. It was hard for me to believe that opening day of the Major League Baseball season – my own personal benchmark for the official start of spring – was only two weeks away.

But the snow eventually melted and it did so fast. By late March the Moira River along Belleville flowed like a white-water rafting course and roared with the wind. The flood plains in around Foxboro, just north of the city, began to fill up. Water started creeping eerily towards people’s houses.

I walked into the newsroom one Monday morning in April and was assigned immediately to head to the Ashley Street and Harmony Road area in Foxboro, where the floods, I was told, were causing serious damage.

I rushed out expecting to see heartbreak and devastation. I ended up seeing people, well, smiling, and having a good time.

I’m not trying to trivialize the situation. Some people may have lost property or saw their basements ruined during the event, which couldn’t have been fun. But these floods may have, in the end, caused more good than harm.

I saw neighbours helping neighbours by lining sandbags along the homes, with the help of firefighters and friends. I looked hard for the story that would really hit home; the story on the homeowners who lost everything. In the end, the most emotional people I could find were the mother and son who were just tickled pink that a TV guy from Toronto interviewed them for Global News.

I learned that of all the natural disasters one can be exposed to, a flood – at least a flood of this proportion – is probably one of the more gentle kinds. Sure, it was a little scary but it was better than a hurricane, a major earthquake or a volcano spilling lava.

In time the water receded and the stories about the logistics of sandbag deliveries turned to stories focussing on the heroes; the firefighters who rushed to the scenes to help out and the tireless volunteers. Life returned to normal in the area north of Belleville and I suspect it has pretty much stayed that way since.

But with another late spring upon us, and a healthy supply of midMarch snow, who would bet against another sudden thaw and floods along the Moira, the Trent River or any other local waterway?

Get your sandbags ready.

It could be the time of your life.

Care Coordinators the â&#x20AC;&#x153;heart and soulâ&#x20AC;? of community care News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Community Care Coordinators are â&#x20AC;&#x153;the heart and soul of home and community care.â&#x20AC;?

Joanne Forestell, who works out of the Campbellford ofďŹ ce of the Central East Community Care Access Centre (CCAC), is one of those hardworking care coordinators.

She agreed to be interviewed by the Trent Hills Independent about the work she and her teammates do for area clients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came to this ofďŹ ce three years ago,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting that she has been with CCAC for 14 years.

But her story of her work as a Registered Nurse doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin there.

Growing up in Norwood, inďŹ&#x201A;uenced perhaps by the fact her mom was a nurse for decades, she chose nursing too and her career has taken her to Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto and later to Kraft Canada in Cobourg where she worked as an occupational health and safety nurse.

She brought that background and experience to CCAC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nursing is a great career whether you live in North Bay or Campbellford,â&#x20AC;? she commented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came here because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a variety of positions and work, part-time, casual and full time ... Here you can be a hospital care coordinator, you can be in the community, you can be a short stay coordinator and you can be a placement coordinator,â&#x20AC;? she explained.

As a Community Care Coordinator with CCAC she is responsible for assessing client eligibility for services/ long-term care placement, assessing

client care needs and planning and authorizing service delivery to patients.

All of this happens within the context of the mission, vision and values of CCAC. For Forestell itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about serving the clients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get to know the clients, see where they live and assess their needs,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It depends on their (patient/client) needs as to how often we see them. We might see them once a year, every six months or every week,â&#x20AC;? she explained.

Clients can come to CCAC through a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s referral, family or friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s referral or even self referral.

The Campbellford Branch now has approximately 300 clients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are absolutely seeing an increase in numbers,â&#x20AC;? said Forestell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are coming out of hospital sooner and being sent home with lots of home care.â&#x20AC;?

There were dry road conditions leading up to where the collision occurred south of Meyersberg, â&#x20AC;&#x153;then all of a sudden youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into no visibility.â&#x20AC;?

Blake said there were times when the ďŹ reďŹ ghters â&#x20AC;&#x153;were doing the extrications that you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see each vehicle on the road, it was that bad.â&#x20AC;?

He used to drive County Road 30 often when he worked at Warkworth Institution and he has â&#x20AC;&#x153;never seen it that bad.â&#x20AC;?

Blake had words of praise for two members of the public who, before police arrived, each took up a position on County Road 30 to warn north- and southbound motorists not to venture farther because the poor visibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That really helped out, and so thanks &RQFUHWH to them, because that stopped probably )ORRUV more accidents,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could have had a lot worse if they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ,QF stopped and controlled the trafďŹ c for us.â&#x20AC;?

The wonderful world of Oz is coming to Hastings

By Bill Freeman

Entertainment - Hastings - They’re following the yellow brick road to Hastings. Dorothy, Scarecrow, Glinda and the rest of the colourful citizens of the Land of Oz will fill the Hastings Public School gymnasium this spring with a blockbuster school production of The Wizard of Oz. The Wizard of Oz marks the first theatrical production the school has mounted in years and it’s going to be a memorable one, director and school principal Sarah Rogers says.

It’s also an anniversary production of sorts for Rogers who directed The Wizard of Oz 20 years ago when she first started teaching and has been active in community theatre.

“It is a popular choice.”

The Wizard of Oz is certainly a familiar play and Rogers thought that for a first play at HPS in several years it was only fitting they go for “a big play like this.”

Students in Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 are all involved and by the end more than half the school will have had a hand in the production.

“The closer we get to the date the more excited they are getting,” Rogers said during a scene rehearsal last week.

The cast was selected in October and they’ve been working on the show since November breaking out rehearsals in scene-by-scene chunks involving handful of actors. The youngest students, playing Munchkins, are practising three or four times a week.

“The Munchkins have two big songs that we’ve worked on in the library,” says Rogers.

“We’re kind of just bringing it all together now.

Most of the characters know their :a@8Ä ÷÷÷ FHCFc:g È Äsongs andß have their dances choreographed but we haven’t

brought all of the songs into the actual rehearsal yet.”

A couple of HPS teachers have been working with the students on their songs since January.

Rogers will begin integrating everything following March Break.

She says the students have been very good at learning their lines at home and practising their dances.

“It’s surprising how well they’re doing and they’re at a good stage and we still have two months to go and most students have most of their lines. They’re enjoying what they’re doing and all the things they’re gaining from the experience.”

Rogers says she’s seen shy students break out of their shells and others discover unknown dramatic talents.

Talking about Megan Edwards, who plays Dorothy, Rogers said: “I think she always liked it [drama] but I don’t think she realized how good she is. This has made her a much more confident person.”

“The exposure at this age is about giving them the opportunity so hopefully some of them carry on at high school or community theatre. A lot of them have shown their talent A parent volunteer is building an elaborate Megan Edwards, Andje Kroes, Kylee Trunks, Destiny Howbackdrop; work on props and sets starts after ran, Hanna Wright and Sadie Turcott rehearse a scene from March Break. the Hastings Public School production of The Wizard of Oz. “It’s a big production and I’m hoping we’re Photo: Bill Freeman going to have the audience we’re looking for.”

They plan three evening shows and two Andje Kroes and Megan Edwards work on a scene matinees in May. during a rehearsal for the Hastings Public School “This is the part of my job I like best, working production of The Wizard of Oz. Photo: Bill Freeman with kids,” says Rogers. They’re right where I expected them to be at this point.”

Fire department continues to make changes according to master plan

By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills - The Trent Hills Fire Department plans to increase its spending by 12 per cent this year as it remains on course to implement the recommendations of a long-term master fire plan.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re â&#x20AC;&#x153;the major contributing factorsâ&#x20AC;? in the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed $1.52-million budget that includes $371,000 for capital purchases, Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake said.

The largest expense is $275,000 for a 1,800-gallon pumper/tanker. The department is also putting $30,000 into reserves to prepare for more equipment purchases down the road and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set aside $25,000 to purchase bunker suits this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The worst case scenario with any planning document or master plan is that it sits on a shelf and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get

By John Campbell

implemented,â&#x20AC;? CAO Mike Rutter told council when it met to go over the draft budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great example of where that has not happened.â&#x20AC;?

Following the planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adoption in 2012, the municipality has carried out many of its recommendations, including installing a full-time fire chief, Blake, to oversee the proposed changes, such as overhauling the volunteer firefightersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; training program and having the three fire stations function as one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come miles in that area,â&#x20AC;?

Rutter said.

The CAO noted the municipality used to spend $50,000 to $75,000 a year on capital plans more than a decade ago when he started. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had things that really were just not acceptable in fire service,â&#x20AC;? he said, so Trent Hills began increasing the

funding in this area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were behind and we needed to catch up and we have done a lot to catch up,â&#x20AC;? Rutter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done lots of really good stuff.â&#x20AC;?

Rutter said the municipality is â&#x20AC;&#x153;wellpositioned to start â&#x20AC;Ś work in the coming year or twoâ&#x20AC;? on the next phase of change, redevelopment of the fire stations in Campbellford and Hastings, which require â&#x20AC;&#x153;some significant investment.â&#x20AC;?

A drawing is to be done of a design for the hall in Hastings, while talks are ongoing to acquire property to relocate the Campbellford station, which will also allow for expansion of the water filtration plant next door on Saskatoon Avenue.

The Hastings station, which lacks a training area, could also be moved to a different site.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to explore all â&#x20AC;Ś options,â&#x20AC;? to determine whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for the community, Blake said in an interview.

The 2014 budget includes money for fire prevention work but does not go as far as the hiring of full-time staff, which the master fire plan had recommended.

The fire chief â&#x20AC;&#x153;really believes there is a more cost-effective way to accomplish that,â&#x20AC;? Rutter said.

Funding fire prevention measures â&#x20AC;&#x153;is such a wise investment,â&#x20AC;? he added, both in saving lives and reducing costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pay-off is huge.â&#x20AC;?

To assist in this effort, a fire prevention committee was established â&#x20AC;&#x153;to ensure standardized and appropriate fire prevention programs are offered on a consistent basis throughout the municipality,â&#x20AC;? Blake said in his annual report to council.

Councillor Bill Thompson, who has spoken to fire chiefs from outside the community, said the Trent Hills Fire Department is the envy of other fire departments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody says we have what everybody else would like,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the class of rural areas.â&#x20AC;?

The department will be stepping up inspections of institutions such as nursing and group homes, the hospital and multi-care lodge where there are vulnerable occupants who will require assistance evacuating a building when there is an emergency.

Previously, the inspections were done every three years or as a result of a request or a complaint but they are to be done at minimum annually to comply with new regulations introduced by the provincial government.

Trent Hills to install first audible pedestrian signal at its â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;busiest intersectionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Trent Hills â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pedestrians whose sight is impaired will soon hear a beep when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to cross the street at â&#x20AC;&#x153;the busiest intersectionâ&#x20AC;? in Trent Hills.

The audible pedestrian signal system â&#x20AC;&#x153;is our first one ever,â&#x20AC;? CAO Mike Rutter told council at a recent budget meeting.

The $35,000 device will be installed at the corner of Bridge Street East

and Doxsee Avenue as part of the municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $4.9 million capital budget for 2014.

The project has taken longer than expected. The municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accessibility advisory committee proposed the idea two years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turned into a very, very complicated exercise,â&#x20AC;? Rutter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a little bit like peeling an onion.

Every time we answer a question thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another question that needs to be asked.

It has taken a long time but these will be easier processes in the future than this one because this is our first one to work through.â&#x20AC;?

Rutter said in a later interview â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a recognition that we need to provide a safer environment for those with disabilities.â&#x20AC;? The downtown

Also, there are standards that have to be met as to the height of the hand buttons and the placement of the signals on the pole, he added, and a significant amount of work needs to be done on the sidewalks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, in an intersection where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much chance for error, we want to get it right,â&#x20AC;? Rutter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to take the time.â&#x20AC;?

Campbellford location was chosen as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a good place to start implementingâ&#x20AC;? the new policy because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very busy, with banks, restaurants, the post office and Community Living building being all grouped together in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has taken a lot longer than we like,â&#x20AC;? for a variety of reasons, including the fact itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;a shared intersectionâ&#x20AC;? with Northumberland County.

14 The Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, March 6, 2014

News - Trent Hills - Last year saw â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant changeâ&#x20AC;? take place within the Trent Hills Fire Department as it continued its evolution from three fire stations operating separately to one cohesive unit.

The unified approach was adopted â&#x20AC;&#x153;to make sure we had enough manpower goingâ&#x20AC;? to structure fires and major vehicle accidents, Fire Chief Tim Blake said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

â&#x20AC;&#x153;working very well.â&#x20AC;?

Training of the firefighters was also amalgamated through the establishment of platoons so they would be comfortable working together responding to emergencies.

Blake said in an interview firefighters performing inspections will receive â&#x20AC;&#x153;a little better

remunerationâ&#x20AC;? than what they currently receive, $3,300 a year plus $15 a call. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will make it worth their while to take a day off work.â&#x20AC;?

If that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prove satisfactory, he may have to look at hiring one to two full-time fire prevention officers, as recommended in a master fire plan

developed by a consultant and adopted by council in 2012.

The fire master plan also suggested one of the full-time officers be dedicated to training but Blake said he â&#x20AC;&#x153;can handleâ&#x20AC;? that role with the help of a firefighter committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really want the volunteers to have ownership of that because they have a lot of pride,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys are second

Plenty of March Break fun at Early Years Centre

By Bill Freeman

News - Hastings - Special crafts, a St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day party and â&#x20AC;&#x153;kids in the kitchenâ&#x20AC;? fun are all on the March Break menu at the Ontario Early Years Centre in Hastings.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to be busy,â&#x20AC;? early learning specialist Angie Nestoruk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have lots of activities and some special events and crafts. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day crafts and a party; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tradition here.â&#x20AC;?

On Tuesday, March 11, Early Years guests can join the Hastings Public Library in welcoming Jungle Jack the Puppeteer and balloon artist. Jungle Jack will appear at the Hastings Library at 11 a.m. and later in the day

at the Campbellford Public Library (1 p.m.) and Warkworth Public Library (3 p.m.).

Campbellford entertainer Patrick Kelleher will bring

his guitar and bag of songs to the Centre on March 12 for their St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s party which will be followed by a potluck luncheon.

paramedic representatives sit on a board to see where improvements can be made in responses to calls for medical assistance.

Some of those calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be going on,â&#x20AC;? Blake said, but he stressed there are times having firefighters present, even when their help isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t needed, is welcomed by the people requiring attention, because it â&#x20AC;&#x153;puts them at ease when they see somebody they know.â&#x20AC;?

Blake, who was appointed Northumberland Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire co-ordinator last June, said a request for proposals will soon be issued to have one central dispatch, instead of three companies that currently provide the service for seven municipalities.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have lots of activities and some special events and crafts. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day crafts and a party; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tradition here.â&#x20AC;?

itself on Friday, children can participate in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids in the Kitchenâ&#x20AC;? program with Pat Stuckless from the Haliburton, Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit.

Registration is required for Kids in the Kitchen.

Also on March 14 will be a clothing exchange, says Nestoruk, something the centre has been doing on a regular basis during special days like school professional development breaks.

Regular programming for parents and caregivers continues as well with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Discuss Itâ&#x20AC;? with Sam Kelly.

Nestoruk says they have also invited the Wednesday morning line dancers to stick around and enjoy the St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s party.

March Break at the OEYC is a chance for families not familiar with the Hastings centre to stop by and check it out and learn more about the programs it hosts and resources it offers to children and adults.

Older siblings will find things to do during the week, Nestoruk adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody is welcome from the community.â&#x20AC;?

to none. Trent Hills is lucky to have them.â&#x20AC;?

Last year, the fire department responded to 672 incidents; 49 per cent of them, or 332, were to assist paramedics.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s above the nine-year annual average of 303.

Only nine calls were for fire structures, six for contents and 17 for grass and brush fires.

The firefighters were called out to 38 vehicle accidents and four more involving fires. They were summoned twice to rescue an animal. Last Aprilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ice storm kept firefighters busy. They responded to 77 calls within a 24-hour period.

Blake said plans are being made to have fire, police and

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Trent Hills â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A new digital mammography unit has been ordered for the Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH).

The announcement comes as the fundraising campaign for the machine enters its final stages.

Hospital President and CEO Brad Hilker signed the purchase order for the new digital mammography unit last week with the technology slated to arrive in just a few weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After several weeks of negotiations

by CMH staff and our joint hospital buying group I was pleased to sign the purchase order for the new digital mammography unit,â&#x20AC;? said CMH President and CEO Brad Hilker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to congratulate the staff of the Diagnostic Imaging and Purchasing Departments for their diligence and hard work during the negotiations and the community for its great financial support of the Digital Mammography Campaign.â&#x20AC;?

To date $609,000 of the $650,000 fundraising goal has been raised leaving just $41,000 left to be raised.

This goal represents the cost of the new machine, related software and equipment, training, minor renovations to the mammography suite and some administrative expenses. After a staff training period the digital mammography service should be available for patients at Campbellford Memorial Hospital by the end of May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are confident that with a final push the last $41,000 can be raised prior the new digital mammographyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival,â&#x20AC;? said Foundation Executive Director John Russell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our donors have told us that bringing this important cancer diagnostic

LIFESTYLES

A melancholy goodbye to all readers

Sheila Wray Gregoire Lifestyles - The only constant in life is change. Some seasons of life, though, rush changes through even more than others, and I’m in the midst of one of those seasons. One daughter has left home; one is learning to drive. I have two book contracts due this year. And perimenopause is causing my hemoglobin levels to plummet faster than Rob Ford’s reputation. Call me unimpressed.

When I started writing this column my children were five and seven. We were just beginning our homeschooling journey. Today instead of my days being consumed with teaching math and reading great books out loud, I’m writing blog posts and planning speaking tours and trying to find time to write more books.

And so it is that after eleven and a half years, and six hundred columns, I’ve decided to concentrate on other

things. My blog is taking so much of my attention that I find deadlines a little more intimidating than I did when the biggest thing on my plate was finishing a Science lesson with my daughters.

I type this with a heavy heart, because I have so enjoyed having this outlet for my thoughts. Whenever I felt ticked about something, I would always think, “I can write a column about that!” And I’d start planning it-while driving, while in the shower, while making dinner. It was wonderful to know that I’d be able to put my thoughts down on paper.

Being a local columnist was such a treat, too. I couldn’t go to the grocery store, or take my kids to swimming, or walk into church without someone mentioning last week’s column. Peo-

ple read what I wrote, and for that I am very humbled and very grateful.

I still have issues which I wish I could have explored more, or at least lended a little more eloquence. I am dreadfully worried about the institution of marriage, because I do think that it’s the bedrock of healthy children, healthy families, and a healthy society.

I am constantly frustrated by our entitlement culture, and by the way the government bends over backwards for those who have messed up, while leaving those who have done nothing wrong flailing. And I can’t think of a better example of government’s failing than with the foster care system.

We give biological parents chance after chance, letting them collect welfare money, methadone treatments,

The Good Earth: Lifestyles - Congratulations are extended to Colleen O’ Reilly and a dedicated group of hard-working volunteers for a successful inaugural Seedy Saturday this past weekend.

Good exhibitors, good displays and swap tables, excellent speakers, super yummy snacks (who made the pumpkin muffins?) and a proper reason for meeting. I hope we see more of this crew and I certainly encourage all Gentle Readers to seek out this type of event.

How long before the snow melts? I

Notice of Annual General Meeting Notice is hereby given that the 60th annual meeting of QuintEssential Credit Union Limited will be held at the Bay of Quinte Country Club, 1830 Old Highway 2, Quinte West, Ontario at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, 18th March 2014. The registration is to commence at 6:30 p.m.

The purpose of the meeting is for the Board to place before the members: • the audited financial statements of the credit union; • the report of the auditor; • the report of the audit committee; • such further information respecting the financial position of the credit union and the results of its operations as the Board determines should be presented to the members.

A document package containing copies of the financial statements, reports of the audit committee, the auditor and the loan officer shall be available at the meeting and at the offices of the Credit Union on March 7.

and many other government programs, while their kids languish in care. Too few are adopted out, because parents are given “second chances”. And by the time the kids are taken away for good, they’re so scarred that adopting them is difficult. Why do parents get second chances while kids don’t even get first chances?

We will never have a healthy society until people bear the consequences of their actions. We are fostering too much irresponsibility, and not enough maturity and independence. And it scares me.

And so there is still much to say, and much work to do. I will just be doing it a different way. I’m in the middle of writing a book for Simon & Schuster called 11 Thoughts That Will Change Your Marriage. My blog, To Love,

Honor and Vacuum (tolovehonorandvacuum.com), had 600,000 visits last month, and it’s growing all the time.

I share my parenting and marriage thoughts there, and I do hope you will join me.

Most of all, though, I hope that over the last eleven and a half years I have written something that has made you love your family more, smile at strangers more, or consider faith again. If I have done that, then I will be happy indeed.

Please stay in touch with Sheila!

You can read her blog, or subscribe to it by email, at http://tolovehonorandvacuum.com. And join her Facebook community at http://facebook.com/ sheila.gregoire.books. Sheila is the author of The Good Girl’s Guide to Great Sex, 31 Days to Great Sex, and To Love, Honor and Vacuum

Too much snow? Scott will help out!

did some net research on this to see if anyone had a good handle on it. For sure, the snow hydrologists (I looked it up; Gentle Reader, that is the proper name for this discipline) have been at it for a very long time, even before Clarence Birdseye brought winter inside. Some of the discussions between various schools of thought are quite heated, which should help us here and seem to be split between global warming as either man-caused or natural climate swings.

I digress, perhaps a function of snow-bound cabin fever?

I did come across a guideline for determining how long it will take for a snowpack to melt. The figures read somewhere

between .070-.150 inches per day per degree Fahrenheit. (3.8mm per day at 1degC) Since my snow piles are some eleventyeleven feet high I reckon it will take about 641 days, give or take a few hours, before I need to sharpen the blades on my lawnmower. Admittedly that’s the doom and gloom version of what would happen if March temps never went above one degree celsius.

Here’s the good news: nice warm days of fourty-one degrees farenheit will have snow melting away at 6” per day.

For you Trenton folks, I do have a stop-gap solution.

Our friend, Scott Saylor, has several signs in front of his home. They say,

“Wanted and Free Snow.”

Please, GR, when you bring your gifts to his home don’t leave them in the driveway and block his vehicle, the front lawn will be fine.

Oddly enough, for us home gardeners; this extra snow won’t make that much of a difference other than to heighten our appreciation when we do see the first patches of bare soil emerging into the sunlight.

For those who start their seeds indoors, especially the cool loving plants such as lettuce, kale, beets and so on, you should be set up and ready to go. These plants can be sown indoors between four to six weeks before last frost. Some of them, e.g. lettuce and snow peas, can be sown directly outdoors as soon as a bit of workable soil is available even if it is only a few square feet.

I’d like to take a moment to apologize to all of the folks who have received an e-mail invitation to join a labour-based social media group. It certainly was not my intent for the bots in this program to glom onto every email address in my computer. For the inconvenience this has caused you, I am sorry. For the gracious manner in which the refusals are written, thank you.

Be of good cheer, GR, spring is coming. Keep

Dan Clost yourself busy doing the stuff you won’t want to do in April. Make sure all of your tools are up to snuff.

Make sure you have a plan of action with all the resources squared away. Now is the time to prune out damaged limbs while the piles of snow raise you up a bit higher. Now is the perfect time to head off to the library or bookstore and get inspired. Learn something new and plan to give it a go this year.

You can also buy snowshoes at a discount and get into shape before gardening starts up. You should have about a month of good shoeing. Flippancy aside, this is a perfect time for attending to your physical abilities.

Stretching is more important than strength building but don’t neglect that aspect of exercise either.

Skye Towns, age 9, skating at level 5, is from the Norwood club and she commented on the competition before going on the ice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels really good but it sometimes is kind of nervewracking if you are not on your own ice and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have your own coaches.â&#x20AC;?

Her teammate Karina Fioritti, age 9, skating at level 6, enjoys skating because it means being with her friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been skating since I was little. The best part is being with your friends and competing together,â&#x20AC;? she commented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And sometimes it is really cold but it is fun.â&#x20AC;?

Tayler Dunk, of the Campbellford club, has competed many times in the past and takes it all like a seasoned competitor.

At age ďŹ ve she has already won four gold medals, ďŹ ve silver, and two bronze â&#x20AC;&#x153;in all different stuff.â&#x20AC;?

Kayla Pyke, also with the Campbellford club, said she started skating young too and has been skating since the age of three. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been to the Shining Waters competitions (name changed later to the Toni Carr Memorial) and won there,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes you get nervous with an audience and stuff but when you are done competing you feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve accomplished something and put in a good effort,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Cindy Chamberlain, president of the Norwood Figure Skating club, helped skaters register as they arrived at the arena last Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun for the skaters, boys and girls ... a very fun event not meant to be competitive.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more to get them used to being on the ice and if they are more interested in a competitive setting then they can go

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Campbellford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Figure skaters kept their cool as they competed on the ice at the Campbellford arena in the Toni Carr Memorial Interclub ďŹ gure skating competition.

The Campbellford Figure Skating Club hosted the event and placed second overall by the time the two-day competition wrapped up.

The competition is named after Toni Carr who was a Skate Canada Judge and a member of the Eastern Ontario Board of Directors for 20 years.

She was also an evaluator who judged freeskate, dance and skating skills.

Approximately 240 skaters from 14 clubs registered for the event that took place March 1 and 2.

Points were awarded to the clubs as skaters challenged their skills on the ice, everything from solos, spirals and more.

Mindenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s club took ďŹ rst place for the second year in a row.

Bancroftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ gure skating club was third, Bobcaygeon placed fourth and Millbrookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ gure skating club placed ďŹ fth.

Last year the competition was held in Millbrook.

It rotates around to the various clubs in the Eastern Region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Skaters are judged on their skating, jumps and routines,â&#x20AC;? explained Marylynn Gorton, president of the Campbellford Figure Skating Club.

Kids skate either in teams, pairs or as an individual and they get medals for coming in ďŹ rst, second or third.

If they are in a CanSkate challenge, they receive a certiďŹ cate for gold, silver or bronze.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The skaters range in age from 5 to 16,â&#x20AC;? explained Gorton.

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Warkworth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Jr. Tyke Percy Bulldogs didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get cold feet as they took to the ice at the Warkworth arena to play in the IP/Tyke (former called Jr. Tyke) Tournament held last weekend.

A total of eight teams participated as the four to six-year-old players got a feel for what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to compete against outside teams but in a fun oneday challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Percy Bulldogs played well,â&#x20AC;? said their coach Jamie Mahoney, who saw his team make it to the B ďŹ nals and skate away as champions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good team effort,â&#x20AC;? Mahoney added.

The Bulldogs defeated Cobourg with a ďŹ nal score of 8 - 3.

The A championship went to the Port Perry team which defeated the Tweed Hawks with a ďŹ nal score of 6 - 0.

The other teams that arrived at the arena for the event included the Nor-

wood Hornets, Port Perry Predators, Centre Hastings Grizzlies, Havelock Hawks and Quinte West. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every team played three games,â&#x20AC;? commented tournament organizer Tracy Russell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And everyone went home with a medallion,â&#x20AC;? she added.

The Bulldogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goalie Nolan Mahoney was chosen Most Valuable Player at the tournament.

This was Russellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second year organizing the fun-ďŹ lled event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a prelude to the fourth annual Maplefest Tournament that takes place this weekend,â&#x20AC;? she added.

There are 21 teams registered, three divisions in total and 37 games will be played during the three-day competition which begins Friday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use both the Warkworth and Campbellford arenas because there are so many teams,â&#x20AC;? explained Russell.

It was a heartbreaking end to a terrific OMHA eastern Ontario Red Lobster Cup â&#x20AC;&#x153;CC-Câ&#x20AC;? semi-final playoff run for the Norwood Novice Hornets against the Brighton Braves. After dropping the opening game 7 - 2 in Brighton, the Hornets bounced back with a strong 4 - 3 win at home and looked like they were on their way to a winning game three before a late-game rally by the Braves tied the score at 3 - 3 forcing overtime with Brighton picking up the win. The Braves repeated their OT magic Sunday in Brighton taking another 4 - 3 win to advance to the cup final.

Have fun at the

Matthew said â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was just a bad effort by everybodyâ&#x20AC;? in the Friday night loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just struggled to get into the play.â&#x20AC;?

Matthew said it might have been nerves that caused the team to be tentative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of kids here who have never been in the semi-ďŹ nals before.

Maybe we were a little bit nervous and afraid to make mistakes, therefore we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push hard enough.â&#x20AC;?

The turning point might have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;a horrible callâ&#x20AC;? by the referee on Newton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got one of our best players kicked out for a head check penalty that was basically a shoulder-to-shoulder hit, (and) it kind of deďŹ&#x201A;ated everybody.â&#x20AC;?

Game four in the Ontario Minor Hockey Association midget â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;CCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; series is scheduled for Friday night at Wasaga Beach. If a ďŹ fth game is necessary, it will take place in Campbellford, starting at 3 p.m.

The Colts rung up six straight wins to launch its post-season.

The team knocked the LakeďŹ eld Chiefs out with a 4-3 win in overtime on the road Feb. 19, after winning the ďŹ rst two matches 2-1 and 4-2.

Campbellford had little trouble sweeping its ďŹ rst round series, manhandling the North Frontenac Flyers, scoring 21 goals while giving up just two in three games.

Sports - Norwood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Norwood Bantam â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? Hornets are going to the OMHA finals for the first time since 2002 after sweeping the Minto Mad Dogs in three

straight games capping the series with a commanding 4 - 1 home win Sunday.

The Hornets will face either the South Bruce Otters or Lucan Irish for the Fred C. Waghorne OMHA â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;? ti-

tle. South Bruce leads the series 2 - 0.

It will be the first appearance in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;? final for a Bantam Hornets team.

The Hornets won the OMHA â&#x20AC;&#x153;DDâ&#x20AC;? title in five games over Matt Read and the Ilderton Jets in 2002. Read, a callup for the Jets, now plays for the Philadelphia Flyers. The 2002 title ended a 15-year drought for the Bantams who took the 1987 title over the Beverley Bandits; they reached the 1988 final against the Howick Hornets but lost.

Norwood never trailed Minto in their three games opening with a 6 - 4 road win and a 4 - 2 victory at home before Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4 - 1 win paced by Hayden Baptieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hat trick. Baptie had the hot stick for the Hornets notching nine goals in the series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m extremely proud of these

guys,â&#x20AC;? coach Greg Hartwick said after Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been one of the most pleasant teams to coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very consistent, except for the one game up there when we gave up four goals which was unusual,â&#x20AC;? Hartwick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since the beginning of the playoffs (14 games) itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been close-checking and tight games.

The kids have been pretty resilient.â&#x20AC;?

Hartwick says his squad brings a total team effort to the ice, which has helped them in their OMHA quest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going on for three months; they kind of just settled down and played that way. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very responsible in all three zones of the ice and the discipline part of it, too, is (key). Everybody does their own part.â&#x20AC;?

The Hornets are averaging just two minor penalties a game, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which is pretty good for Bantam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big part of our success.â&#x20AC;?

Hartwick has rotated goalies Isaac Dart and Jake Krabbe all season and says in 50 games thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just 40 minutes of playing time separating the two goalies.

In the series clincher, Baptie opened the scoring

early in the second period with Minto evening things three minutes later. Two more goals by Baptie three minutes apart gave Norwood a nice cushion. Eric Sickerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal with 40 seconds left in the second was the dealmaker.

Picking up two assists was Andrew Hembruff with single helpers to Sicker, Nolan Beamish, Dawson Turcott, and Nicolas Buchanan.

Rebels make first-round exit but give Pirates a good run in Empire B playoffs fore the period ended and that was it until Bunnett notched the winner.

Crashley said a turnover at the Campbellford blue line led to a scoring attempt by the home side. The shot hit a defenceman and the puck went right to Bunnett who quickly fired it into the net. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was one of those things that can happen anytime.â&#x20AC;?

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to lose in overtime, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to do it quickly, rather than much later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no sense putting up with all the stress in the meantime,â&#x20AC;? Crashley quipped.

He and players had to deal with

plenty of stress in game five. Facing elimination and down a goal with 13 seconds left in the game, Campbellford tied the score at 1-1 on a goal by John Samis, with Mahoney pulled for an extra attacker.

Nick Ferguson won the game at 5:56 of the second overtime period.

Picton outshot Campbellford 53-47.

The Pirates took a 3-1

series lead Feb. 27 when it defeated the Rebels 4-1 at Campbellford. Samis ended Adam Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid for a shutout at 11:12 of the third period.

Crashley said the difference in average age between the two teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; players was a factor in the seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; outcome, with the Piratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; older roster being a bit stronger and having more stamina.

He said some of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;key charactersâ&#x20AC;? will be back for next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we started almost fresh,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In general it was a new team.

We had 12 rookies in the lineup, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of rookies, (but) they were terrific ... I thought we made tremendous progress reestablishing Campbellford (Rebelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) hockey.â&#x20AC;?

Crashley said the team,

which finished fourth just one point out of second, was as good as any other in the league but Picton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on equal footing with the other teams that have been in the rebuilding process longer, so we felt good about that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like the way our young kids came along ...

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a very, very bright future.â&#x20AC;?

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Campbellford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Give the Campbellford Rebels credit. The rookie-laden team that finished 30 points behind the Picton Pirates in the regular season almost forced a seventh game in the opening round of the Empire B Junior C Hockey League playoffs.

Campbellford kept alive its hopes of a major upset by downing the reigning provincial Junior C champions 2-1 in double overtime Feb. 27 at the Prince Edward Community Centre.

The Rebels then stayed even with the Pirates through 60 minutes in the sixth game of the best-of-seven series played at Warkworth March 1.

Midnight, however, arrived for the Cinderella team just 27 seconds into the extra session when Brian Bunnett, the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top scorer, broke the tie with Pictonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 52nd shot on Rebel netminder Cole Mahoney, giving Picton a 3-2 victory and the series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were pretty close to them but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got an awfully good team (with) lots of experience,â&#x20AC;? Rebel coach Bart Crashley said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our young guys played terrific, they worked hard, and Cole Mahoney was excellent in net ... We gave them a scare.â&#x20AC;?

Crashley was â&#x20AC;&#x153;pleasedâ&#x20AC;? with the effort of his team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had luck but with a little more luck maybe we still could have been playing. We just came up a little flat in (the last) game,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can only ask so much of players sometimes and they worked so hard, they probably got a little tired.â&#x20AC;?

Jeremiah Doherty opened the scoring in the first for Campbellford. Former Rebel Steven Clarke tied it in the second at 9:09 but Doherty restored the Rebelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead just over a minute later.

Vipers’ owner has “no regrets” about taking on team

By Bill Freeman

Sports - Norwood - It didn’t turn out the way he hoped it would but Norwood J.J. Stewarts Vipers owner Bob McCleery has “no regrets” about taking on the Allan Cup Hockey Senior AAA team.

“It’s a wait and see, I’d really like to be back: I want to be back for the core players out there.”

McCleery was somewhat philosophical about the season that got away from the Vipers who saw their winless streak stretched to 20 games with a season-ending 11 - 8 loss in Stoney Creek “I have no regrets. I said at the Bob McCleery, owner of the Norwood J.J. Stewart Motors Vipers of the Allan Cup Hockey Senior “AAA” league, has no regrets about taking on the club first of the season that I would be committed to do what it takes to after a year’s hiatus even though they team finished last in the ACH.

run it for the season,” McCleery told The Independent. “It’s cost me a bit of money, no doubt about it [but] I am committed to it and I said I’d do that.”

McCleery, who purchased the team from Dave Stewart and helped bring it back into the ACH after a year’s hiatus, says it’s a “wait and see” situation as far as leading the team into a 2014-2015 season.

“It’s a wait and see, I’d really like to be back: I want to be back for the core players out there,” he said. “I can’t say 100 per cent for next year. I want to; we’ll see.”

“The biggest thing,” he said, “was I had a lot of injuries early.

I wasn’t prepared for them; I didn’t have the depth. I think I had the team but when you go through the injuries they all add up.”

McCleery did not use the injury bug as an excuse, he made that clear but when his top defenceman Kyle Begley went down with a broken leg in their home opener that was a bad sign.

Along with the injuries there were players who quit the team and captain Steve Thomas was suspended for ten games.

“That’s half a dozen cards you don’t have to sign someone else,” he said.

Still, McCleery is proud of the players who committed to the program and played their hearts out despite the losing. Watching players like that makes it hard not to come back next year, he admitted.

“To build a team with guys like that who are committed.”

Unlike Brantford, Dundas and Whitby the Vipers haven’t been able to been able to persuade

some topflight players from the area, particularly Peterborough, to join the team. With the Allan Cup in Dundas this season there is an additional ACH spot in the Canadian national tourney and that’s motivated Brantford and Whitby. Host Dundas has also loaded its team with former NHL’ers, minor pros, OHL and elite NCAA players.

“There are a lot of big name people in the Peterborough area but they’re just sitting on the couch on Sunday night,” said McCleery. “It’s good hockey.”

“I’ve probably got the youngest team in the league; our record might indicate that too,” he admits.

McCleery predicts that the league’s top teams will lose players to retirement at the end of the season after the Allan Cup run.

“So it will make a big difference next year.”

FOCUS

Part of the excitement of visiting a farm is seeing and petting the ANIMALS. Although many animals may be docile and domesticated, they can still be unpredictable. Animals that are startled by yelling or loud noises also may become restless and dangerous.

Children should understand that animals may unintentionally cause injuries.

It may be in a horse’s defense mechanism to kick when it is scared. To avoid such injuries, never approach animals from behind. Also, when baby animals are present, a female may be protective of her brood and go on the defensive.

Another inadvertent injury that may occur is from bacteria or viruses from the animals. Animal feces may contain bacteria, and there may be other microorganisms on the animals themselves. It is a smart idea to always wash your hands after handling a farm animal to prevent the spread of disease.

Here are some other precautions that can be taken when visiting a farm. s Don’t allow children to wander around unsupervised. s Rides on farm equipment should be discouraged. s Before starting machinery, operators should locate children and other guests and clear them from the work area. s Don’t allow children near machinery. s Children under the age of 16 should not be allowed to operate any farm vehicles. s Watch for hand tools or other equipment, and keep children away from them. s Do not touch animals unless a farm worker allows it. Then follow his or her instructions. s Don’t provoke farm animals or attempt to startle them. s Supervise children around ponds, feeding troughs or manure lagoons.

It only takes a few inches of water to pose a drowning risk.

Farms are interesting places to visit, especially for children. Safety should always be a priority when visiting a farm.

Artists honoured at Maple Syrup Festival Day (oil on canvas) was awarded to Lenni Workman of Warkworth.

Gagnon said he was impressed with the large scale of this painting and the tension between the realism of the large red ďŹ&#x201A;owers and the abstraction of the vase with reďŹ&#x201A;ections. Coordination of the colours and the simpliďŹ ed background enhanced the subject.

Best Painting called Running Water, (oil on canvas) was won by Jerry Albert, who has a studio in Baltimore and is a ďŹ rst-time winner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great on-site painting, easy technique and not contrived. It is a little bit of tucked-away landscape rendered with feeling,â&#x20AC;? said Gagnon.

There were some ďŹ rst-time winners at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s juried event.

Seventy-nine works of art were submitted from which Gagnon chose to include 45.

Earlier in the morning he had given a free demonstration in abstract watercolour painting.

the texture and colouring of the stone was significant,” he noted.

Honourable Mention, a painting called Look to the Coast (acrylic), was won by Sue Wilkins of Campellford, also a first-time winner.

Gagnon said, “Sue has blended subtle textures and colour shifts to bring out the landscape with interesting land forms.”

Honourable Mention in photography went to Sylvie Flynn, of Cobourg, another first-time winner, for her photo called Fallen.

“This small photo is precious and subtle ... The photographer has a deep understanding of its strength in spite of its size,” said Gagnon.

Honourable Mention for 3D/Mixed Media went to Christopher Thorpe for his work called Harvest Crows

Gagnon commented, “This is an interesting way of addressing a found image and expanding it by adding painted objects (crows in this case) for more impact. It has a fabulous format and was a wise choice of photo.”

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.

On March 13 in Belleville, Kate Pitt and Alison Kirkpatrick will help you identify invading species, defend against them, and protect native fish, animals and plants. This is the fourth in the Winter Speaker Series for the Hastings Stewardship Council.

Invading species are one of the greatest threats to the biodiversity of our waters and woodlands. Invading species can kill our native species, destroy habitats, and upset ecosystems because, in most cases, they have no natural predators or controls.

Alison Kirkpatrick leads the Aquatic Invasive Species Outreach at the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and manages the monitoring program. She will identify the worst culprits and best management practices for eastern Ontario.

This community newspaper published a series of articles on my business.

Now everyone knows how great we are!

Alison can help volunteers to track invasive species with EDDMaps, the new tracking website and smartphone app, developed in partnership with the Invading Species Centre, University of Georgia and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. It will allow users to take a picture of an invasive species, and automatically mark the location and send it for verification.

Alison will profile the Emerald Ash Borer, Round Goby, Asian Carp, Garlic Mustard, Dog-strangling Vine, and others, including their impacts and identification. For example, the Round Goby competes with our native fish and has been implicated in outbreaks of botulism type E in Great Lakes fish and fisheating birds, resulting in large dieoffs of fish and birds.

Kate Pitt is a Species at Risk Biologist with the Ministry of Natural Resources helping to protect and restore our more than 200 native species that are in trouble. Kate will be talking about specific upland songbirds at risk in Hastings County such as the Bobolink and Eastern Meadowlark, as well as other “backyard” birds and animals that you can help protect. Check out her updates on the Barn Swallow and Blanding’s Turtle.

Farmers and landowners in Ontario can both serve and protect. Kate can answer questions about accommodating the needs of our species at risk while carrying out our daily work.

The briefing takes place at the Township of Thurlow Community Centre at 516 Harmony Road, north of Belleville (and west off hwy. 37), on Thursday, March 13 at 7 pm.

There is no cost, but donations will be gratefully accepted at the door.

All are welcome to attend. For further information, please contact Matt Caruana at The Hastings Stewardship Council: 613-391-9034 or email: info@hastingsstewardship.ca When native species are at risk, then people are at risk too.

TRAVEL

Exploring the eye-popping French Riviera Lifestyles - The French Riviera, the Cote d’Azur, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Located along France’s beautiful southeastern coastline, where the majestic Alps visibly plunge into the deep blue Mediterranean Sea, it’s regarded as a luxurious, sophisticated, and trendy retreat for the rich and famous. With its rugged coastline of sheer cliffs and magnificent beaches, the French Riviera is dotted with luxury homes, expensive yachts, and grand hotels.

Some of the most popular tourist destinations along the French Riviera include Menton, a city of gardens that’s located in the extreme southeast of France, near the Italian border, with a warm climate that’s favourable to its tangerine, orange, and lemon groves, Antibes, a traditional Mediterranean Sea port city, with a medieval castle and narrow shopping streets, Juan les Pins with its Picasso Museum, housed in the Chateau Grimaldi, Cannes, home of the renowned Cannes Film Festival each May, where the Palme d’Or is awarded, Nice, the beautiful capital city of the French Riviera, where strollers can enjoy a seaside walk along the renowned Promenade des Anglais, the Principality of Monaco site of the palace, casino, and annual Monaco Grand Prix, Biot, renowned for its glass blowing and pottery, Grasse, often referred to as “the world fragrance capital”, St. Tropez, located on one of the most beautiful harbours on the Mediterranean, and Grimaud, a village that features a partially restored 11th century castle and borders the Gulf of St. Tropez.

I used Nice, the capital city of the French Riviera, as my base, and I stayed at the Hotel Kyriad Nice Gare, an older hotel that was conveniently located very near to the train station and the city centre. I found that my room was a good size, with a large bed, and I was pleased that there was free wi-fi included and breakfast, too. From here I went on a walking tour of the city with Nadja Graf, of Tourism Nice, and she pointed out many of the city’s major points of interest, including the nearby Russian Orthodox Church (completed in 1912), the narrow streets of its Old Town, its Market Square, where the morning market booths were replaced by afternoon dining areas, Castle Hill, which we ascended for a spectacular view of the city and coastline, and its promenade along the city’s large harbour and beach area. I was surprised to find that there was no sand on this popular beach, for it was entirely stones. However, Nadja told me that the locals soon became very accustomed to this and many were seen sunning in this stony landscape or even walking barefoot. I was also surprised that, although I was in a very touristy area, the city’s buses were very cheap (1.5 Euros) and its museums were actually free!

As I explored Nice with Nadja, I also learned that this, the largest city on the Riviera, hosts a very famous Jazz Festival annually and a very popular Carnival, too. I also came to the conclusion that visitors who are interested in art will want to check out Nice’s Chagall Museum, Matisse Museum, and Fine Arts Museum. These same visitors will not want to miss Place Massena, either, a large square that features sev-

en statues of men atop high pedestals.

This represents the seven continents of the world, is entitled “Continents in Conversation with Nice”, and is illuminated at night in bright, changing colours.

Since I had a rail pass, I found Nice to be a convenient ‘home base’ on the French Riviera, and it was just a short rail ride to other worthwhile destinations, such as Cannes and Monaco.

I found that a lot of trains travelled through Nice on a daily basis, adding to the convenience. I also discovered that the International Nice-Riviera Airport, located in Nice, makes this particular destination on the French Riviera a very convenient air travel stop, too, for it’s the second largest airport in all of France and a major international hub.

While in this beautiful area, I also travelled westward, along the coastline, to Toulon, near the most southerly point of the French Riviera and here I checked out its pedestrian shopping area, its military port, fortress, and some of its many old fountains. After all, it’s often referred to as the City of Fountains.

I’d also recommend a visit to Saint Maxime, located at the northern end of the Gulf of St. Tropez, a mere 10 minute ferry ride from St. Tropez, and the island of Marguerite where the Man in the Iron Mask was incarcerated, just a The beach at Nice, on the French Riviera.

20-minute boat ride from Cannes.

Also worthwhile would be a visit to Le Trayas, a village from which you’ll view the stunning red rocks of Esterel and nearby is the Comiche de l’Esterel, one of the most beautiful roads and coastline drives found in the south A view of Monaco’s Fortress. of France.

I stayed in Nice’s Hotel Kyriad, conveniently located near the train station.

Art demonstration serves as preview for watercolour workshop Lifestyles – Warkworth – For the fourth year in a row, Spirit of the Hills hosted a free art demonstration in the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts.

Marc L. Gagnon, a full time watercolour and acrylic painter currently residing in Newcastle, presented a two-hour demonstration on abstraction in watercolour.

While 15 people watched and listened, he developed a scene from Lake Superior into an inspiring and imaginative work of art.

Using wide brushes, pure pigment with little water, he scrubbed his way to creating a rock face.

Paper towels, spray bottles, patience and time, all contributed to creating interesting textures, and a dynamic image.

After lunch, Gagnon walked to the Memorial Community Hall in the village to judge the submissions for the 14th Annual Maple Syrup Festival Juried Art & Photography Show and Sale.

In 2011, Spirit of the Hills received funding from Heritage Canada in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival.

This became the beginning of the free art demonstrations held the weekend prior to the traditional Maple Syrup Festival at Sandy Flat Sugar Bush.

Thanks to this initial federal art grant, Spirit of the Hills has continued under its own steam to create interesting Judge Marc Gagnon, from left, talks to photographer Tom Groot about his photo Cat in Provence. art demonstrations during the past three years including Other local photographers Robert Laycock and Mary Weilandt join the event.

Petes help HBPS students shut out bullying

By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - Havelock Belmont Public School students got a big-time assist from the Peterborough Petes in their efforts to raise awareness about bullying and to highlight the importance of being a good citizen.

Centre Matt McCartney and defenseman Steven Varga spent part of Pink Day at the school signing autographs and talking about the importance of teamwork and leadership in dealing with bullies.

“We’re trying to do a broader piece with this [Pink Day] and putting it together with the Petes is a good way to address teamwork and working together,” principal Darryl Whitney said.

In the fall, Whitney said HBPS did a “full session” about anti-bullying and decided to enlarge on that “and make it more about the team and look at character attributes, specifically respect and responsibility.”

“We wanted to make it an even bigger day and not just about wearing pink and not just talking about bullying but talking about citizenship.

Being a good citizen means being respectful, responsible and being a good person.”

“We love it,” McCartney said about visiting elementary schools. “It’s not a big part of our day but I’m sure it’s a big part of the day for them. We like doing it and getting a good message across; it’s perfect.

“It’s always good to have good role models to look up to,” the Scarborough native said.

“Teamwork is a big part of everything especially with bullying,” he said. “If everyone

stands up and sticks together then no one is going to be singled out; that’s pretty much what teamwork is.”

McCartney also said leadership plays a key role in tackling bullying head-on.

“If the leader is doing the right thing and leading the right way that takes care of bullying right away.”

Lessons from sports definitely carry over into everyday life, McCartney said.

“Hockey is a good foundation for making friends.”

You can’t be a bystander when it comes to putting the check on bullying, you’ve got to step up and help the victim, he said.

“Take your role, be a leader and tell those who are trying to make other people feel bad to think about what you’re doing.”

Grade 1 teacher Jenny Pink helped organize events at the school.

“We talk about, on a daily basis, the strategies that children and adults can use but at the end of the day it’s really about being a good person and how we can work together as a team.

We just want to keep that conversation going and let the kids have some fun.

“It’s nice to put some familiar faces to it like hockey players. This is a big hockey community so it’s [good that students] know that they have the some of the same struggles that we have sometimes and we can learn from other people what they do to make good choices.”

“This is a time to pause and think about the things we can say and do on a daily basis [to make us better people]. It carries on with lifelong friends, it carries on at home.”

Iron Chef challenge provides high school students with real life experience

By Steve Jessel

News – Belleville – The whirring of knives and the quiet hum of a busy kitchen were the focus of the annual Loyalist Iron Chef contest this past week, where high school students from PECI, Peterborough and Kingston faced off in a battle royale to determine the region’s top student chefs.

“The goal of the event is to keep inspiration with high school students and promote the culinary program at this school as well as others, we just want to keep this industry alive as much as possible,” said Loyalist second-year culinary student Brennan Roy,

who helped organize the competition with other culinary students. “It’s to give them that rush, that excitement of getting something done in a time limit, and challenging yourself as much as possible.”

Student teams were tasked to create a threecourse menu using a set list of ingredients, and were then judged on their taste and presentation of their food along with their professionalism in the kitchen.

“Teamwork is huge in the kitchen and the food industry,” Brennan said when asked what a common mistake students might make is in the kitchen. “You defi-

nitely need to keep in contact with all your team members and know what they’re doing, and they need to know what you’re doing. Communication is key.”

For Grade 11 PECI student Jared Hartley, the competition was his second kick at the can after also competing in 2013. He said managing stress levels was key to succeeding in the competition.

“In the big scheme of things, how is it going to work out? If you need to redo something, can it be done in time?” Hartley said. “It’s about getting that experience.”

Experience is something that St. Peter’s chef Cathy Rose said students get in spades during the competition.

Rose was particularly praising of the opportunity for students to get professional feedback on their dishes during preliminary rounds earlier in the year, and said that Loyalist’s competition is the only one that she knows of that gives students that opportunity.

“The one thing that this competition does is it builds self esteem like no other competition,” she said.

“They can go away knowing they put out plates that were high calibre, restaurant worthy food.”

When the smoke had cleared, it was Rose’s St. Peter’s team that took home top honours, followed by PECI

The PECI team at the Loyalist Iron Chef competition included Emily VanGrootheest, Keith Petrasek, Jared Hartley, Zeb Snider, and Jason Hamilton. Photo: Steve Jessel

in second. The St. Peter’s menu included a mushroom ragout in a paprika rubbed pancetta ring finished with squash frites and leek oil, a paprika rubbed pork tenderloin served with herb whipped potatoes, organic

heirloom carrots, maple fig sauce and a rich pan jus, and for dessert, flour-less paprika infused dark chocolate cake with an orange mascarpone cream. Members of the winning team were each awarded

a $500 Loyalist bursary applicable to any Loyalist program, as well as gift certificates to be used toward kitchen equipment and supplies for their school.

Quinte West Home and Leisure show set for weekend of April 25-27 Events – Trenton – The 33rd Annual Quinte West Home and Leisure Show will take place April 25-27 at the Community Gardens in Trenton, hosted by the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce and the Trenton Kiwanis Club.

As we look forward to the signs of spring, it’s a great time to be planning new projects around your home and garden. “This show provides wonderful inspiration as it allows visitors to see the latest trends in home updates, and learn about lifestyle enhancements from a wide range of vendors,” says event coordinator Jillian McCormick The show has become a regional favourite offering great value to vendors and visitors. The cost of admission is $3 per person

and children of any age are free. One special attendee will start their spring renovations off right with a chance to win $1,000 Home Show Bucks when they visit the show. Home Show Bucks work like cash and can be spent at any vendor in the show.

Two arenas will be full of products and services for your home renovation projects and leisure activities plus upstairs is the Quinte Women’s Show.

Each year the Quinte West Home and Leisure Show has over 100 vendors showcasing their products or services and attracts nearly 3,000 visitors to the Trenton arena.

“There is a great variety in this years’ show covering everything from gardens and landscape design, roofing, general contrac-

tors, pools and hot tubs, custom windows, and much more,” says Chamber Manager Suzanne Andrews. “Sometimes it is hard to know who you are getting into business with, this show provides a great opportunity for the public to meet face to face with local businesses and industry professionals, talk to them about ideas, ask questions, and evaluate companies without commitment or having to set up appointments at your home.”

The show hours are Friday, April 25 from 5 to 9 p.m., Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Vendor spaces are still available.

Trent Hills resident saw Sochi Olympics from behind the camera lens

By John Campbell

Hastings – You can thank Brian Tyson for some of the great television moments you saw during the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics.

Not as an athlete but as a cameraman.

The Hastings-area resident was a member of the camera crews hired by Olympic Broadcast Services to produce world feeds of the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the medal ceremonies that took place daily.

The opening ceremonies were “pretty impressive” and the artistic pieces that included some “amazing projections” onto the floor of the arena were “spectacular,” Tyson said.

“It was a very enjoyable experience,” he said, but for a cameraman, also “very challenging.”

He arrived in Russia six weeks before the Games began Feb. 7 because they needed people there in advance “to start blocking all the camera positions” for the opening ceremonies which were “extremely complex.”

Based on what he and the camera crew saw in rehearsals –“sometimes things worked, sometimes they didn’t” – they were left crossing their fingers that “it was going to work,” Tyson said.

In the end it “was pretty well

flawless,” apart from “the big thing everybody remembers,” one of the gigantic Olympic rings not opening as planned – a malfunction “not much different” from what happened during the official opening of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver in 2010, he said.

It marked the second time Tyson has worked the Olympics; his first was Calgary in 1988 for CTV. Born in Coventry, England, Tyson emigrated to Canada in 1968 and worked as a salesman for a pharmaceutical manufacturer before deciding to try making a living out of his hobby and becoming a still photographer. He studied photographic arts at Ryerson University in the early 1970s but then took “a slight detour” in his career path and spent the next 35 years working as a freelance cameraman in motion pictures, film and television production.

Tyson has shot thousands of TV shows – drama, variety, sports, talk, game, reality and awards – for seemingly every Canadian and American network, as well as commercials, documentaries, educational films and corporate videos.

His resume includes So You Think Can Dance, Open Mike with Mike Bullard (for six years),

the Winnipeg Comedy Festival, Just for Laughs, and, currently, the Ron James Show.

He does not have any favourites.

“I’ve always enjoyed whatever show I was doing,” Tyson said. “I can’t remember too many times when I’ve got up in the morning and said I don’t want to go to work today.”

Getting into the business was “not a tough go” but he wouldn’t want to be starting out now.

There’s more competition and “the whole business has changed” because the networks “don’t want to train anybody,” preferring to hire freelancers such as himself “who already know how to do the work.”

Now approaching 70, the “semi-retired” Tyson and his wife, Barbara Klatt, own and operate a market garden farm east of Hastings, growing organic fruits and vegetables.

He’s pursuing still photography “more seriously” these days, as a member of Spirit of the Hills and as a blogger (http://cameraf11.com).

The website is his “business card” that lets people know what kind of photography he does. His favourite images are in black and white, which he finds “more aesthetically pleasing.”

Brian Tyson can now say he’s been to Russia but he really didn’t get to see much of the country, despite being there for more than two months.

He was too busy working as a cameraman at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics, shooting the opening and closing ceremonies as well as the daily medal ceremonies. Photo: Submitted.
