Process for a new hospital and site moving forward By Sue Dickens

A decision that began at the board level, with staff and physicians has led to the endorsement by the Central East LHIN Board of Directors of Campbellford Memorial Hospital’s pre-capital submission for a new hospital. Hospital CEO and President Brad Hilker, made the announcement at a regular board meeting held March 5. Photo: Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - A new hospital on a new site is in the initial stages of a process that is now under way. The announcement was made by CEO and President Brad Hilker of Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH), at a regular board meeting held March 5. “The Central East Local Health Integration Network’s [Central East LHIN] Board of Directors endorsed a pre-capital submission by CMH at its February 25 meeting,” Hilker said. The hospital’s submission

is based on a Master Plan or long-term redevelopment plan created by the hospital in 2014, which proposes redevelopment of the hospital facility on a new site, and is based on meeting the short-, medium- and longterm needs of the community served by the hospital and its current ability to meet these needs. When Hilker was the vicepresident and chief financial officer of the Peterborough Regional Health Centre, he was involved with the building of that new hospital so he knows what to expect.

News - Trent Hills - The municipality has been given approval to install roof-top solar panels on the Hastings water treatment plant. The next step will be to issue a request for proposals to determine the cost of the project as well as provide details around the installation of a solar photovoltaic system that would generate up to 80 kilowatts of electricity and revenue for the municipality by providing energy to Ontario’s power grid. Trent Hills hired Imperium Energy in 2013 to identify which municipal buildings were suitable for making application under the third round of the province’s Feed-In Tariff (FIT) program. The Unionville consulting firm prepared four applications–the other three buildings were the Campbellford fire hall (the newer part), the Clock Tower Cultural Centre, and the Campbellford wastewater treatment plant–but only one was approved by the Ontario Power Authority. The Hastings water treatment plant “has the potential to produce the most power,” director of planning Jim Peters said in an interview. “It’s got the most area and probably the right inclination.” Peters said “a couple of others are still being considered through an extended program. We’ll start with one and see what happens.” The request for proposals will also deal with concerns raised by council members at their March 3 meeting, related to insurance and hazards that roof-mounted solar energy panels present to firefighters should

they catch fire. “We need to look into that,” Peters said. “That’s something we could include in the RFP to have them address the issues with fire and shutting off the power.” The proposals will also help the municipality decide whether to invest in the installation of the equipment and begin earning revenue immediately, or have a company serve in its stead until all costs are recovered and a profit is made. “There are various ways of seeing how the revenue flows in,” Peters said. A final decision by council won’t be made until a cost benefit analysis is done on the merits of the project after the proposals are received. “The estimate, based on whatever the expense is to put the panels in place, is you’re likely to get a ten per cent return on investment,” Peters said. That’s “a pretty good return,” he told council. A deadline for responses to the RFP will be set for sometime in April. “We’d like to get it done quickly [and] get the things installed if we’re going to do it during the summer,” he said. The municipality has spent about $9,000 to date on the project, mostly to have Imperium do an analysis of which buildings were viable in making application for provincial approval. Ontario’s FIT program offers stable prices through long-term contracts to suppliers of energy generated from renewable sources.

Flowers, applause for longtime township staffer

By Bill Freeman

Deputy Clerk

Trent Hills is a vibrant and growing community with a population of 13,000 that is located on the Trent Severn Waterway amongst the rolling hills of Northumberland County. It is comprised of a number of urban and rural communities with an annual budget of approximately $12 million.

many changes they have all seen since the merger of the village of Havelock with the former township of Belmont-Methuen 17 years ago when amalgamations stirred up the municipal scene across the province and certainly in Peterborough County. Suzanne thanked current

and past councillors for their work and gave the front office staff an ovation of her own. “We have an impeccable office staff and we all get along. It is just a pleasure to come to work every day,” she said. CAO Pat Kemp presented Suzanne with a bouquet of flowers to cap the occasion.

North River Bridge meeting planned By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - Township residents will get a chance to comment on plans to rehabilitate the North River Bridge on County Road 46, located 12.1 kilometres north of the village of Havelock, during a public information drop-in session March 12 at the Havelock Lions Hall upstairs at the community centre. The bridge, approximately 1.3 kilometres north of County Road 47, is being studied by the county and a consulting firm and information on the state of the bridge and rehabilitation design options and “associated potential impacts” on the study area will be on view at the meeting. The public can drop in between 5 and 7 p.m. In its ten-year capital forecast for bridges Peterborough County has earmarked $493,000 for work on the bridge and $50,000 for an environmental assessment. County staff along with representatives from The Ainley Group will be on hand to talk to residents about the project. During this week’s council meeting councillors decided to go with a concrete parapet with a single rail standard railing system on the bridge similar to the parapet walls that are featured on the recently completed Davidson Bridge project on County Road 2 just south of Westwood in Asphodel-Norwood.

This system is the county’s “base option” and would come at no cost to HBM, township manager of Public Works Brian McMillan told council. Mayor Ron Gerow said he had talked with the county’s manager of engineering and design Peter Nielsen about the North River Bridge project. “There are a number of concerns that have come up from the engineering division that have done the initial review,” Mayor Gerow said. He said there were “very clear concerns” regarding the approaches to the bridge and the bridge’s footings. “Another concern is the width of the bridge. I know they’re hoping to address that in some way,” he added. He also said there is a township road allowance adjacent to the bridge that is on county property. “There are a couple of things we need to be cognizant of.” Councillors and HBM staff will meet with the consultants and county representatives before the general public’s drop-in session to discuss the project. Deputy-mayor Jim Martin said there is some concern about traffic flow during the construction work. “The public’s been asking how it’s going to affect them. I think it’s more for the big trucks than for cars,” Martin said of traffic worries during construction time.

News - Havelock – Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Mayor Ron Gerow had it right: it’s not often they begin council meetings with applause and flowers but that’s what they did this week when the councillors honoured long-time employee Suzanne Vincent. Suzanne is one of the first municipal staffers the general public sees when they walk into the township’s Ottawa Street office and the township’s water and sewer account manager is getting set to retire after nearly 27 years with the former Village of Havelock and the post-1998 amalgamated Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen. “We’re going to miss you. It’s been a great pleasure working with you,” Gerow said during a brief ceremony that opened the regular council meeting. Suzanne has held a number of different municipal positions over the years. “We’ve come to you many times asking you to take on extra duties and never at any time did you say no; it was always ‘absolutely, how can I help?’” Gerow said. Mayor Gerow praised the rapport Suzanne has established with the public in her daily work and noted how

Science is â&#x20AC;&#x153;just so much funâ&#x20AC;? By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - Emma Harding had it just right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Science is just so much fun,â&#x20AC;? the Grade 4 St. Paul Catholic Elementary student said during the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual science fair that brought together the inquisitive minds of 230 students in a showcase of exploration, experimentation and just plain wonder. Emma and her partner Jenna Brown built a replica of Peterboroughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous Lift Lock linking the project to their class curriculum which was studying pulleys and gears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were really interested,â&#x20AC;? they said. They called the engineering marvel â&#x20AC;&#x153;remarkable,â&#x20AC;? not only for its ingenuity but also

The school was also pleased to have along with other returning students. research was all part of their curriculum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some parents get involved because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited about science too. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see that parent support.â&#x20AC;? Before bringing everything together in the gymnasium the young scientists got to show off their work to their classmates and Cossar says the â&#x20AC;&#x153;awe and wonderâ&#x20AC;? of the entire class is always evident during the individual presentations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though one person is investigating that topic theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all learning the science behind it.â&#x20AC;? The communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural roots were not left out either, Cossar said, pointing to a number of projects that related to farming and agriculture.

Austin Leveque, a Grade 1 student at St. Paul Catholic Elementary School in Norwood, showed how gravity causes an apple to fall with his science fair project.

International scope of world prayer day impressive: minister By Bill Freeman

News - Hastings - The international scope of World Day of Prayer is impressive. So is the fact that it unites women around the globe in ecumenical Christian reflection on the eve of International Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, says the Reverend Jamie York of Trinity United Church in Hastings. The Reverend York was the guest speaker at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service in Hastings which was written by the WDP committee of The Bahamas; he took as his theme Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gospel and the story about Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; washing of the feet and the notion of â&#x20AC;&#x153;radical loveâ&#x20AC;? that this act demonstrated and which is interweaved through the Bahamian service. World Day of Prayer services were also held in Trent Hills at St. Jeromeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church in Warkworth and Hoards Station United. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;First and foremost is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worldwide,â&#x20AC;? York said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice that different parts

of the world put together their thoughts and music [and] then you work it into your own perspective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice way to gather everybody together ecumenically, too,â&#x20AC;? he added. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service originated from Egypt and in 2013 there was a powerful service written by the Christian women of France. Other recent services have connected the world to Malaysia, Chile, Cameroon and Papua-New Guinea and they were all guided by the WDP motto of â&#x20AC;&#x153;informed prayer and prayerful action.â&#x20AC;? Next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service will be written by the women of Cuba and will focus on children with its theme â&#x20AC;&#x153;Receive children, receive me.â&#x20AC;? In Canada the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inter-Church Council (WICC), an independent organization of Canadian Christian women, oversees the World Day of Prayer movement. Funds raised through offerings from the 2,000 services across Can-

ada are distributed to worthy causes across the globe, from Nurses without Borders in Burundi to the Development Organization for Haitian Women and their Families in the Dominican Republic. The 2014 event also supported groups as diverse as the Canadian Baptist Women of Ontario and Quebec and the Hills of Peace Lutheran Church in Kamloops, British Columbia. The WDP service is a challenge to participants to reflect on the global connections that unite countries and faith groups; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a call to think more searchingly about the difficulties faced by the countries featured in the service, something that might not appear so evident in a seemingly sunblessed country like The Bahamas Members of the choir sing during the World Day of Prayer service at Trinity United Church in Hastings. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service was which stretches necklace-like along written by the Christian women of The Bahamas.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Harper’s son will never die in Iraq or Iran

Dear Editor: Back in 2003 when Republican George Bush lied to his own citizens and the rest of our world about Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction”, to justify his invasion of Iraq, Canadians would have followed the Americans into that bloody desert if Stephen Harper had been our Prime Minister at the time. If the Republicans gain the presidency of the United States in 2016 and Harper is re-elected as Prime Minister in 2015 chances are very good Canadian soldiers will soon be dying in Iran. Benjamin Netanyahu made that very clear when he was greeted with thunderous applause as he told Republicans crowding the US Congress last week that Iran was proceeding with its plans to get nuclear weapons to wipe Israel from the face of the Earth and something should be done about it now! Stephen Harper is unequivocal in his backing of whatever Israel does. If you do not believe me ask Senator Irving Gerstein, the Conservative Party’s head of fundraising. On February 23, 2011, Irving Gerstein was

charged along with Senator Doug Finley for violations of the Canada Elections Act. Elections Canada alleged that Irving Gerstein was complicit in a scheme that involved filing false tax claims and exceeding federal spending limits on campaign advertisements. If found guilty, Gerstein would have faced up to a year in prison and fines exceeding $25,000; however, the charges were dropped after the Conservative Party agreed to pay a $52,000 fine. Chump change to Conservatives. All Canadian taxpayers are the chumps. If the above noted players are still in power over the next couple of years much more Canadian blood will flow into the sand of the Middle East. On Saturday, March 7, 2015 Canadians learned that one Canadian soldier was killed and three others wounded just behind the front line in Iraq. Friendly fire is just as deadly as unfriendly fire. Few Canadians believed Harper’s lie that we would be bombing Iraq with our F18s for just six months. He might as well have told us six days. This

conflict has no end. We will only get in deeper, especially if the political cards fall as described above. Fifty-five seconds of clarity were left behind on the cell phone of the religious lunatic who charged onto Parliament Hill with a rifle, murdering one innocent along the way while forcing Harper to hide in a closet. Harper continually tells us he is making Canadians safer by forging Canada into a warrior nation like the Americans. In truth he is doing exactly the opposite as these words of the killer on the Hill prove: “This is in retaliation for Afghanistan and because Harper wants to send his troops to Iraq. So we are retaliating, the Mujahedin of this world. Canada’s officially become one of our enemies by fighting and bombing us. Stop occupying and killing the righteous of us who are trying to bring back religious laws in our countries. Thank you.” Therein lies the truth. While Harper takes cynical advantage of death-delivering tragedies to instill hyper-fear into Canadians

HELP OUR WASTE COLLECTORS DO THEIR JOB SAFELY

on a daily basis to further his evangelical agenda what he is actually doing is making us more vulnerable to terrorism. He uses fear as the cover for his current move through Bill C-51 to establish a network of secret police. In the last chapter of Party of One author Michael Harris goes out to Cape Breton to visit Farley Mowat. Farley’s analysis of the current state of affairs was, “We don’t elect pacifists. We admire the killer instincts in leaders. It’s genetic. It is inevitable that people in high positions like Harper reach out for a bloody stick or sword. The people who run the world today are psychopaths. Everybody can see it, so why are we so obedient? All

they care about is the economy because that means money. A virus is sweeping through the human race. At the top, all over the world, we are rotting away as a species from the top down. The leaders have gone beyond greed to the sheer amassing of power. There is no effective morality, just power.” And when asked what he thought of Margaret Atwood’s comment that Stephen Harper’s modus operandi was “Stalinist.” Farley replied: “Stalin had small balls compared to this guy. Stephen Harper is probably the most dangerous human being ever elevated to power in Canada. How the population has acquiesced in following this son of a bitch, and to let him take over

their lives, I’ll never know. You have to create warrior nations; they are not born. They have to be made. It is the preliminary step of a tyrant. And this son of a bitch incited Canada to become a warrior nation.” In conclusion Farley said, that Fall in Cape Breton just before his death, “About the country and our future. It is like an aura that seems to have gone wrong. I have the sound of old cannon fired in 1812 in my ears. It is the sound of war again. War is coming back. There is an inevitable sense about it. I’m pretty pessimistic.” I fear Farley’s pessimism was well placed.

OPINION

Islamic State: The worst case contingency

Editorial - It’s often a good idea, when faced with a really frightening situation, to model the worst-case outcome and see how bad it could get. That can be quite bad, but it’s rarely as bad as the half-formed Gwynne Dyer fears that build up if you don’t actually analyse the problem. Like Islamic State, for example. It began with the conquest by an Islamist group called ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) of various bits of territory in eastern Syria in 2011-13. Its founders were almost all Iraqis who had got their start fighting the American occupation of their country. They were allegedly in Syria as volunteers in the struggle to overthrow Bashar al-Assad’s dictatorship, but they actually spent their time conquering territory held by other rebel groups. Once ISIS had created a territorial base in eastern Syria, its fighters surged back across the border into Iraq in June 2014 and captured Mosul, Iraq’s third-largest city. First the Iraqi army and then the much better respected Kurdish army crumbled in front of them. In July, ISIS declared the border abolished and proclaimed the foundation of the Islamic State in the conquered parts of both Syria and Iraq. A few days later the leader of ISIS, Abu Baqr al-Baghdadi, declared in a sermon in Mosul’s great mosque of al-Nuri that he is the caliph to whom all Muslims owe obedience. It was a bold step as there has been no caliph since 1924 but it had great resonance among those many Muslims who linked the collapse of the Islamic world’s power and prosperity to the neglect of its traditional religious institutions and values. Moreover, it is collecting pledges of allegiance from like-minded Islamist fighting groups in other Muslim countries, each of which lends a little more credibility to its claim to be the new caliphate. The first wave of pledges came in November, when Islamist groups in Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Yemen and Saudi Arabia declared that they acknowledged al-Baghdadi, now calling himself Caliph Ibrahim, as their leader and guide. Little more has been heard from the Ye-

meni, Saudi and Algerian groups, but the Egyptian group, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, controls parts of the Sinai peninsula, regularly attacks the Egyptian army, and was officially designated a province (wilayat) of the Islamic State in November. Libya, where Islamist groups have been gaining ground in the civil war, was carved into three further provinces at the same time. In late January a former commander of the Pakistani Taliban and ten other jihadi leaders from Pakistan and Afghanistan also acknowledged al-Baghdadi’s authority, and declared that they constituted the new IS province of Khorasan, taking in those two countries and other nearby lands. Then last Saturday Abubakar Shekau, the leader of the militant group Boko Haram, which controls much of northeastern Nigeria, also pledged allegiance to Islamic State: We announce our allegiance to the caliph... and will hear and obey in times of difficulty and prosperity. We call on Muslims everywhere to pledge allegiance to the caliph. It’s definitely catching on, but how far can it go? Well, not much further, probably. It is striking that all the new provinces of Islamic State, like most of the original ones, are in mainly rural areas, often sparsely populated, and with few natural resources (except some oil, in Libya’s case). They are areas that corrupt and autocratic governments, many of them distracted by civil war, will simply abandon for the short term as not worth bothering about. For Islamic State to seize big metropolitan areas and their resources would require a level of popular support in those areas that is unlikely to emerge. Big cities are full of relatively sophisticated people with something to lose, and are unlikely to see Islamic State as an attractive solution for their problems. Without the big cities and their communications facilities, airports, harbours, major highways (which usually go through the cities) and the like there can be little effective cooperation between the widely dispersed provinces of Islamic State. They will have to go on fighting their own wars with little outside help, and some they will lose. The broader struggle against Islamist extremism will probably continue for at least a decade, and impose heavy costs on the people of the Middle East. But ultra-radical organisations like ISIS and Boko Haram are likely to break up in bitter theological disputes a lot quicker than that.

Renewed recycling initiative could start with the coffee pod By Lewis Zandbergen Editorial - We drink quite a bit of coffee at home and we enjoy the convenience of the single cup brewing system; we still have the one we purchased about five years ago. It wasn’t long after we began using it that we discovered the cute little pre-made cups weren’t in any way recyclable. Even though we removed the coffee grounds to enhance our compost pile, the rest of the pre-packaged convenience (fused foil and/or plastic) couldn’t be separated and ended up in the garbage. We decided instead to employ the reusable coffee filters available for these machines (at least someone was thinking). We have the convenience of single cup brewing without having to deal with just one more item headed for landfill. Although many would chime in here and say go buy a percolator, coffee three hours old doesn’t taste quite as good. Programmed recycling in this area has been around for almost the past three decades and worldwide since time immemorial; evidence suggests the Romans recycled the metals used to mint coins. Considering the amount of time and materials used in crafting anything new throughout history, it made perfect sense to reuse once-processed goods again and again. During wars all sorts of items were collected for recycling, from scrap metal to rags and even bones. Throughout history we have always recycled in some fashion: I can remember collecting pop and milk bottles to take back to the store for “spending money”: that was recycling. Getting back to the coffee …. Single cup brewers have been around since the early 1990s (recycling programs were already in place) and you’d think one of the first responsibilities of the manufacturer would be to ensure their product was totally recyclable. According to news sources, the man who invented the single use coffee brewing system now regrets his invention. Even at the time of its debut on the consumer scene, environmentalists were already complaining; now, worldwide, billions of these seemingly innocuous little pods make their way into landfill sites. Go ahead; collect a few dozen of these things and you’ll see why it’s so troubling. Its invention was just over two decades ago but there is a tiny, itty bitty, teensy speck of good news: the premier manufacturer of the system is promising to make the single use pods completely biodegradable; but, get this, it will take five more years. Yep, they say by 2020 the pods will be recyclable. That is totally unacceptable and the manufacturer

should be compelled to accept all the used pods at their cost; boxes of them should be sent to the manufacturer postage free. They’ve enjoyed immense success and have no doubt made the company millions, but it’s still going to take five more years before they can recycle the pods? C’mon. So what does this have to do with recycling on the large scale? It’s a symptom of the ease with which we embrace an easier lifestyle often because big companies decide how to package their goods. We’ve gone from collecting the pop bottles to simply ridding ourselves of anything (roadside litter) we don’t want or need anymore and that’s just plain wrong. I’m a huge fan of recycling. I abhor the sight of paper coffee cups and boxboard clamshells littering our roadsides. Yes, there are still people who just can’t grasp the idea of bringing the fast food detritus home and separating the garbage from reusable stuff for the blue boxes. It’s so much easier to just toss it out the car window; someone else will pick it up seems to be the litterer’s governing thought. But recycling still has a long way to go even though a large part of the population faithfully carries blue boxes to the curb. Although the rules vary wildly in southern Ontario, to the best of my knowledge, there are no programs in place to deal with styrofoam because apparently there’s no market for the stuff. Stockpile it and wait for a market to develop seems to be the rationale. And why aren’t our medication bottles recyclable (one source says they are, another says they’re not) but the recycling triangles on the bottoms of those medication bottles carry the numbers they use in the local program. Either way, it seems the onus is always on the consumer to make sure the stuff that finds its way into our homes is properly directed when its useful life has come to an end. And in a world striving to be conscious of recycling, manufacturers are still bombarding us with copious amounts of all sorts of un-recyclable material. There’s the overpackaging of everything from chewing gum to kids’ toys. After Christmas mountains of plastic were set by the curb everywhere. So, as I reiterate, the onus is on us to make sure we recycle. But it should be on the manufacturers to make sure we are able to recycle their over-the-top packaging. That’s why the single use coffee “pods,” should serve as the symbol of a renewed effort to persuade manufacturers to go green.

Cathy Redden new OAAS president By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford Campbellford’s Cathy Redden is the newly elected president of the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS). This position can be added

to her relatively new title as a councillor for the Municipality of Trent Hills, voted in after returning to politics last fall as a candidate in October’s municipal election. Her elections to the OAAS

position happened during the organization’s annual general meeting and convention held at the Royal York in Toronto. Fair delegates, service members, ambassadors and special guests were in attendance, representing over 165 agricultural societies. With over 1,000 delegates, service members, ambassadors and special guests in attendance at the AGM, the positive buzz of Ontario Fairs was evident and alive all weekend. There were 93 fair ambassadors in attendance. A familiar face at the fair in Campbellford, it was just last year that Redden emceed a special event for past fair queens and fair ambassadors. Redden is no stranger to the association. A member of the Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural Society for more than 36 years, she has served as the local society president, Homecraft president and District 3 Agricultural Director. She has also been involved in 4-H and Junior Farmers. She is also a director on the board of the Rural Ontario Institute. While born and raised in Northumberland County, she also has strong family ties to Waterloo County where several family members are in the Agricultural Hall of Fame. Her priorities as the new OAAS president reflect a philosophy she has promoted for decades.

Join us! Open House March 14 and April 25 10 am–2 pm

“Celebrating rural Ontario and all the things that are good in it, that’s the theme I chose for 2015,” she told the Trent Hills Independent. “Our mission statement at OAAS is we are a unifying body for agricultural societies throughout Ontario and primarily work through promotion, communication and education. A great part of that is done at conference level,” she added. There are some big changes coming to the OAAS this year under Redden’s watch. “A monumental change that took place at the convention was a decision to reduce the Association’s board of 30 members to a more manageable level,” she noted. “Our goal will be to bring all of our policies, procedures, guiding principles together to make that happen. It will be a big year for working on governance,” she explained. There are 15 districts in Ontario and about 17 fairs take place annually, Campbellford’s is one of them, a fair that celebrated its 160th anniversary last year. The association’s slogan for 2015 “Celebrating Rural Ontario” highlights the efforts of the nearly 220 agricultural societies who showcase the best of rural Ontario. “I think the key is getting that rural voice. There’s so much change in terms of technology that rural Ontario has adopted and we’re not averse to those kinds of change but we are not being overwhelmed by what’s happening in the urban areas either,” she said. “Rural Ontario has a very important place with lots to offer and we cannot forget the uniqueness of it. Rural Ontario constantly has to remind the rest of the world who we are, what we are, what is unique about us. That’s why I want to celebrate it,” she concluded with enthusiasm.

Community garden at school would be good says deputy-mayor By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - A studentdriven community garden at Havelock Belmont Public School would not only be an excellent teaching tool it would be another beneficial food source in the township, Deputymayor Jim Martin said during a visit to council by Medical Officer of Health Dr. Rosana Pellizzari and public health nutritionist Carolyn Doris of the county-city health unit. Dr. Pellizzari and Doris have been visiting local councils to talk about the Food Insecurity in Peterborough report which revealed that one in seven children in the city and county live in a food insecure home, that 11.5 per cent of households are food insecure and that five per cent of people live in households that do not have enough to eat. It’s an increasing trend, they say. Part of the discussion revolved around the health unit’s involvement with the Peterborough Community Food Network and the emergence of Nourish which has taken strong root in HavelockBelmont-Methuen with its community garden. “We are really committed to this project,” Doris said. “Supporting Nourish is one way of bringing the Community Food Network to Havelock,” Dr. Pellizzari said, adding that’s one way council can make a difference in alleviating food insecurity in the community along with support for more affordable housing, lobbying senior levels of government for social assistance reform and backing universal school breakfast programs. The HBPS breakfast program is vital and effective, said Deputy-mayor Martin. So is the community garden. “I really think that [community garden] should be part of the school program too; kids should be learning that it’s not that hard to grow food. It’s good for people to learn how to grow food for themselves.”

Dr. Pellizzari agreed. “We find that kids prefer food they’ve grown themselves. I’m a firm believer that schools should be using part of their land just for kids learning how to grow,” she said. The issue of what happens to the gardens in the summer is something that would have to be worked out, said Dr. Pellizzari, noting that in some urban areas youth employment funding has been used to hire teens to do the summer garden work. “It’s a good way to bring the school community together. It’s outdoors, it’s active. There are many ways to find that synergy so you can keep those gardens going.” School gardening programs tie in with curriculum requirements and have become a big component in so-called ecoschools across the province, she said. “There are so many ways to make those connections [and] there’s lots of resources for teachers.” Too many people have come to rely on processed foods, Dr. Pellizzari said. “It’s going to take a lot of education to get people to where we were 30 years ago,” she said noting her parents always had a garden at their home. “The number one activity for Peterborough is gardening.” If students learn to garden and become food and nutrition literate at a young age then health benefits will follow, she said. Mayor Ron Gerow called Havelock Belmont Public School’s breakfast program a “marvellous thing” and that he has seen first-hand across the county how important programs like this have become. “It also teaches kids ideas about the whole process around food, to get a good nutritious breakfast and a good start to the day. There’s a lot of work that goes on in the background that make the programs successful and make the kids appreciate it.”

Health Unit brings youth leadership program to Havelock By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - Youth at Havelock Belmont Public School will be able to take a key role in helping their peers stay active during recess thanks to a leadership development workshop brought to the school by the public health unit. Twenty-five Grade 6 to 8 students took part in the two-hour session last week led by Anne Gallant, school health liaison with the Peterborough CountyCity Health Unit (PCCHU), and second year Trent University nursing students Travis Brault and Kalina Kopun who are doing their practicum in community health with the PCCHU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re helping to build capacity for students to be leaders in schools. [These] are transferrable skills in everything they do,â&#x20AC;? says Gallant. Havelock Belmont Public School has been deemed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Healthy Schoolâ&#x20AC;? and has a partnership with the health unit which is supporting the school on a number of different strategies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have an action plan; building peer-led recess programs is one component of that,â&#x20AC;? said Gallant. The health unit, she added, is able to bring the workshops to

any school that asks but it fits in with the Healthy Schools partnership it has with HBPS. The workshops came out of requests from schools that were coming to the health unit for leadership skill development, Gallant explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took that interest being expressed and put it together into a workshop.â&#x20AC;? That led to a one-day workshop at Trent University but Gallant said that cost was â&#x20AC;&#x153;becoming an issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to make it more flexible to schools.â&#x20AC;? So they took the full-day workshop and broke it into components and built a partnership with Trent University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more flexible in terms of the number of schools who can participate. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubled the capacity that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve offered,â&#x20AC;? says Gallant. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also given Trent University students a first-hand look at how a program that promotes positive youth development is established and gives those students a chance to get out into the community and work with young people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives these kids a valuable leadership role,â&#x20AC;? says teacher Jonathan Swift. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be more than a one-day thing. It will

run over a variety of recesses.â&#x20AC;? The students, he said, can initiate games in the play yard that help bring the students closer together. The Grade 6 and 7 students can also help train some of the students that will be taking their place as they graduate and leave HBPS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all full of smiles and laughs and loving the games,â&#x20AC;? Swift said of the workshop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They love it; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a blast. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice change to get them in the gym outside of the class.â&#x20AC;? Swift says it also gives shy students a boost in confidence as they tap into their latent leadership skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can already see a change in some of them just watching them here. That is a real value to the program.â&#x20AC;? At the beginning of the session, Swift said the students were Anne Gallant (c), school health liaison with the Peterborough County-City Health Unit, is joined by second-year nursing stuasked if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever had leader- dents Travis Brault and Kalina Kopun during a leadership development workshop at Havelock Belmont Public School.

Seniors Today How to eat after 50

Friendly fats People over age 50 should increase their intake of unsaturated fats and reduce consumption of saturated fats. Nutrient-rich unsaturated fats can guard against heart conditions, protect against stroke, keep skin supple, and even help men and women maintain good neurological health. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in nuts, olives, seeds, and fatty fishes. Increase protein According to Christine Gerbstadt, MD, RD, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, as they age, men and women need more protein in their diets to maintain their muscle mass. The amount of protein needed at a younger age no longer may be adequate. Look for lean sources of protein from fish and poultry. Beans are also a low-fat source of protein that can help fulfill daily protein requirements. More fiber Eating more fiber can help with digestive and intestinal problems, such as constipation. Constipation can occur when fiber intake is not enough, coupled with a more sedentary lifestyle. The best way to get fiber is through diet. Leave the

More water As a person ages, his or her body may not signal it is thirsty as well as it once did, so it’s possible that you may not recognize when you are thirsty or dehydrated. The

Mayo Clinic recommends around nine to 10 cups of beverages per day to remain hydrated. Eating healthy and changing one’s diet is important as a person ages, as dietary needs at age 50 may be quite different from what they were at age 30.

skins on fruit and vegetables and choose whole fruits over juices. Whole-grain breads and cereals also are good sources of fiber. Dry beans and lentils can add a fiber boost. Always increase fiber slowly to determine your tolerance. Fewer calories The National Institute on Aging says women over the age of 50 need between 1,600 and 2,000 calories, depending on how physically active they are. Men need between 2,000 and 2,400 calories per day. With each passing year there is a decrease in the energy required to maintain body

As people age, their dietary needs begin to change. Foods that were once staples of your diet as a youth may be restricted once you hit a certain age, while other foods you may have always avoided may now be necessary to fuel and support a healthy body. Eating healthy foods and exercising may not be enough to sustain health, as hormonal changes and other health effects as a person reaches age 50 can have a profound impact on his or her nutritional requirements. The following are a few things men and women over 50 may want to consider as they look to eat a healthy diet for years to come. Vitamin D Both men and women age 50 and up have a reduced ability to produce vitamin D through exposure to the sun. Extra vitamin D will be needed from foods and supplements. Everyone over the age of 50 should take a daily vitamin D supplement of 400 IU (10 µg), according to Canada’s Food Guide. Without adequate vitamin D, bone strength and health can deteriorate because vitamin D promotes calcium absorption. Vitamin D also has other roles, including helping neuromuscular and immune function and reducing inflammation.

Hospital given funding to establish network that supports seniors at risk By John Campbell

News - Campbellford - Campbellford Memorial Hospital will receive an additional $730,000 a year to operate a new rural Geriatric Assessment and Intervention Network (GAIN) in support of atrisk seniors. “That’s awesome news,” hospital president and CEO Brad Hilker said March 6 after Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi formally announced his government was providing the necessary funding through the Central East Local Health Integration Network. The new GAIN team will help the hospital’s health-care professionals with their “shared focus of making CMH a senior friendly hospital,” Hilker said. That’s “a key priority.” GAIN teams–there are now eight within the area served by the Central East LHIN–utilize the services of doctors, nurses, social workers, pharmacists and mental health professionals to provide specialized care to frail, older adults living at home or in retirement residences who have multiple complex medical problems. The problems include cognitive impairment, decreased function, falls or risk of falls, impaired mobility, incontinence and/or multiple medications. Rinaldi said the Geriatric Assessment and Intervention Network represents a “phenomenal attempt to deal with an elderly population. “We do a real good job of making people live longer,” he said, but “that creates some challenges.” He congratulated the Central East LHIN for thinking outside the box to come up with a program that works with older people and their families “to devel-

op personalized senior care plans” that enable seniors to remain in their homes. The network is allocating $520,000 annually to CMH to cover the cost of the GAIN team, and an additional $85,000 for a community GAIN care co-ordinator, who will support clients as they navigate and receive care from the health and social services system. A further $85,000 will pay for a behavioural supports specialist. The government is also providing $80,000 for the purchase of a van that Community Care Northumberland will use to transport GAIN clients to appointments at the hospital. It can be used for other trips but its “first priority” is the GAIN program, said Kerry Shudall, the hospital’s clinical services manager who was in charge of the project at the local level. She said it took two years of planning to get an independent GAIN team at Campbellford after the hospital had partnered with the GAIN team in Peterborough to establish a satellite team in town. Having a local program “is massive,” she said. “It’s going to help lots of vulnerable frail people in the community who want to stay in the community [and receive support].” This “opens the doors” to their maintaining their independence. Without the program “a high amount of people in our community … end up going straight to long-term care” after having “struggled at home with undiagnosed dementias [and] frailties” before reaching “a crisis point [when] there’s no other choice for them,” Shudall said. Aubrey Dornan, a retired farmer and mine worker who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, was the first

News - Campbellford - The bar is set high for music students at Campbellford District High School (CDHS), who perennially shine at MusicFest Canada’s national festival. One hurdle they have to clear each year to qualify for the festival that celebrates student excellence in musical performance is to excel at a regional MusicFest event. They can check off that box now, after the school’s senior jazz ensemble

and senior jazz combo each earned gold at the MusicFest Southern Ontario Band Festival held last week, which earned them a spot at The Nationals that will take place in May in Toronto. The intermediate jazz ensemble was awarded a bronze. Three students won leadership awards: Peter Wowk, Meaghan Steinmann and Rahul Patel. Wowk, a Grade 12 student who plays the saxophone, is “probably the finest musician we’ve ever had at CDHS,” said

music teacher Dave Noble. He wrote one of the tunes performed by the senior jazz combo and arranged another, an “impressive all-around” performance, he said. He put the combo together and “mentored” its members through rehearsals, “and away they went,” Noble said. “This is the ultimate teacher’s dream”–a student who masters what he’s been taught and then passes his knowledge on to others.

Providing services close to home the goal of investment dollars By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - An announcement in April that will “talk about dollars ﬂowing,” in the counties covered by the Central East Local Health Integration Network (CE LHIN) follows on the heels of a press conference held here last Friday. “A mental health announcement on April 9 will take place in Peterborough with Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal,” said Katie Cronin-Wood, communications lead with the CE LHIN. She was in Campbellford for the press conference. Dollars coming to Trent Hills were included in money being invested in the area served by the LHIN which covers a very large geographic area, including Scarborough, Durham Region, Northumberland/Havelock, Peterborough City and County, Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton Highlands. It is one of the fastest growing geographic regions in the province and home to over 11 per cent

of Ontario’s population. “We work with our local MPPS to hold an event in each of the communities to talk about all our other dollars,” CroninWood told the Independent on the day Lou Rinaldi, MPP for Northumberland-Quinte West, was at Campbellford Memorial Hospital announcing a $520,000 investment in a new initiative, a new Rural Geriatric Assessment and Intervention Network (GAIN) Community Team. And all of this also follows on the heels of an announcement by the provincial government of a $28-million investment in mental health and addictions services. “Friday’s announcement in Campbellford was for seniors,” said Cronin-Wood, who explained that the CE LHIN has four major areas that are part of its strategy. They include strengthening primary health care models for at-risk seniors, advancing a comprehensive mental health strategy, developing palliative care

community teams and expanding access to cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention to continue to improve the vascular health of residents so they spend fewer days in the hospital. “So Friday’s announcement had a mental health aspect, vascular aspect and senior aspect,” noted Cronin-Wood. The focus of the province’s investment for mental health and addictions services, as with much of what is being done, is “to provide care closer to home for people,” she noted. Each of the 14 Local Health Integration Networks is investing an additional $2 million for 2014-2015 in community-based mental health and addictions services. Within the CE LHIN there are many local health service providers and support services it supports from the Campbellford Memorial Multicare Lodge, Community Care Northumberland, Community Nursing Home in Warkworth, Pleasant Meadow

There was a memorable moment that occurred while the senior jazz ensemble was playing. During a drum solo at the end of the epic Channel One Suite, one of drummer Lucas Graham’s sticks went ﬂying more than a foot in the air and did a full rotation and “he catches it on the way down and continues the solo,” Noble said. “It was beautiful to watch … unplanned and totally seamless. It was really hilarious and amazing at the same time.” He and his students are preparing to play in perhaps “the

biggest show” the school has ever done during his lengthy tenure at Campbellford, the 20th anniversary of CDHS jazz, which will take place at Stirling Festival Theatre March 28. “I’m bringing back some of the wonderful graduates we have had over the years who have made careers of music,” Noble said, naming a few, such as Virginia Hadﬁeld, Brian Murphy, Samantha Marineau and Chelsey Bennett. “They’re going to play with us or sing a song,” he said, and they’ll be joined by other alumni

“who were really ﬁne musicians” but chose other careers. As with the school’s other appearances at the Stirling theatre, the event will be a fundraiser for Campbellford Memorial Hospital. “It’s going to be an incredible night that will wrap twenty years up really beautifully,” Noble said. “It’s going to be super special.” Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for youth.

Manor in Norwood and the Campbellford and District Community Mental Health Centre. “For the last couple of years our focus has been on community, ﬁrst putting service in place so people can stay in their own homes and community,” noted Cronin-Wood. This is made clear in CE LHIN document called “Community Investments” that was included in the board package at their December meeting in 2014. The primary objective of the 2014/2015 community investment is to continue to support accessibility to community based health services for individuals with complex and long-term medical, physical, social and/or cognitive conditions allowing them to stay in their homes and communities. “Last Friday’s announcement is just one example of that investment,” said Cronin-Wood.

Tim Hortons Campbellford celebrates 20th anniversary News - Campbellford - The icing on the cake for Doug and Josephine Robertson could be said to be the 20th anniversary celebration of the opening of their first Tim Hortons here in Campbellford. Wednesday, February 25, they shared the event with customers by hosting a cake-cutting ceremony surrounded by family and local officials. Balloons decorating the interior of the restaurant and lettering on the windows announced the special occasion. “This is our original location … it’s our baby … it’s the way we started,” said Josephine who with her husband opened the Tim Hortons here then every couple of years after opened more, resulting in five in Trenton. “We never expected it to be this successful,” she said before the cake-cutting ceremony started. Two of their three children who are part of the business were there to celebrate too. Their son Jimmy, works in the Campbellford location and their daughter Jaclyn “works all over.” With them was Chris Riley, general manager. Joe Clarke, manager of the Tim Hortons Campbellford, has worked there since the day it opened. “I couldn’t have asked for a better job for twenty years,” he told the Indepen-

dent. “I work with some wonderful people and great family owners. They treat me very well. It’s a pleasure working for the Robertsons and for the community,” he added. Clarke oversees the operation and can be found behind the counter every day. Staff numbers fluctuate from about 38 employees to 60 in the summer months when tourist season means busier days. The employees are a mix of permanent full-time and part-time. “We see 2,000 to 3,000 customers here every day and we have met so many good people over the years,” commented Doug. “I think it’s important to thank the community for this twenty years. We wouldn’t be here without the community of Trent Hills and surrounding area. They are a great part of our success here. They’ve supported our business,” he noted. “And my staff members too … we’re only as good as the people we have with us. We have a lot of pride in our staff and our community so I think it is important to recognize those people too.” When asked for his thoughts on the $12-billion merger between Tim Hortons Inc. and Burger King which hap-

pened last December, he said, “With the new partner, amalgamation, it will be Tim Hortons way to go internationally. Burger King is in close to 100 countries around the world so Tim Hortons is on their shirttails internationally now so I think it’s a good part of the decision that was made.” Trent Hills Councillor Ken Tully also attended the celebration on behalf of the municipality. “I am pleased to present you with a certificate for being in Campbellford and for all the programs you have done here. We certainly appreciate what you have done … enjoy another twenty years here,” he said. Nancy Allanson, executive director of the Trent Hills and District Chamber of Commerce also made a presentation to the owners. “For the past twenty years you have been a shining example in the business community delivering high quality products and your staff demonstrates on a daily basis how they go above and beyond delivering excellent customer service,” she said. “In addition the support you provide to local organizations has a tremendous impact on our community over the past twenty years. Congratulations on this anniversary milestone and we wish you all the best in the future.”

Chamber’s message to the community this year: businesses “matter” By John Campbell

News - Campbellford - Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce plans “to take a stand” this year to protect its members’ interests by showcasing the role businesses play in the community while urging local consumers to support them. “We matter,” chamber president Jeff Hamilton said, in announcing the organization’s theme for 2015 at its annual general meeting February 26. “We’re going to show people that we do matter” and “bring business back to the municipality.” Hamilton said the current business climate is like the weather, “dreary,” but it’s “time to step up” to the myriad challenges rather than be beaten down by them. “We are in a global market now, online shopping is stronger now than it’s ever been,” he told members, but that’s no reason to give up in the face of stiff competition. The chamber will be “looking for ways to help you get your business online so that it works for you, so you are able to compete in those markets,” Hamilton said. The chamber will also be reaching out to members to find out what “they’re struggling with” and what it can do to help. Hamilton said the chamber chooses a different theme each year to give itself “a sense of direction” as to where to focus its attention and make good use of its resources.

Trent Hills approached once more about opening up roads to ATVs By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills - Trent Hills is again being asked to grant all-terrain vehicles access to some of its roads to create a route that will allow ATV users to pass through the municipality and connect with other trails. The request this time, however, came from a resident who doesn’t own an ATV and isn’t a member of the Northumberland District ATV Riders Club, which tried and failed three years ago to get a road use bylaw passed. But members of the club, including president Mike Ainsworth, were present March 3 to show their support for Betty

McCarrell when she appealed to a new council to open up certain roads to ATVs with a bylaw that would designate their location and deal with issues surrounding noise, speed, time of day and seasonal use, and trespassing. The retired dairy farmer touted the many economic benefits that would come from allowing “a family-orientated activity” a wider ambit for its enjoyment, saying ATV riders would spend money on food, fuel and lodging during extended trips. Thirty-eight municipalities in eastern Ontario allow ATVs on their roads, including all five neighbours of Trent

Hills: Quinte West, Havelock-BelmontMethuen, Stirling-Rawdon, and Cramahe Township. McCarrell presented correspondence from several sources affirming the municipalities have had no problems with ATVs making use of their roads. Stirling-Rawdon Police Chief Darrio Cecchin said his department has received “no significant concerns or complaints” about the operations of ATVs, adding ATV clubs “are educating their members well with respect to safety and following the rules of the trails.” Cramahe Township Mayor Marc Coombs said his municipality has received only one complaint about an off-road vehicle since it passed a bylaw in 2009 allowing ATVs on roads north of Highway 401 “and palliative care is often the that was about a dirt most compassionate course bike.” of action,” she explained. Norwood real “Across the Central East estate agent Todd LHIN, there was concern that people with late stage dementia were not being connected appropriately to palliative care,” said Kelly Kay, executive director of Seniors Care Network, the co-ordinating body for the region’s specialized geriatric services. In 2014, CMH adopted the Palliative and Therapeutic Harmonization (PATH) approach to care for assessing frail, older adults who visit the ER or are admitted to the hospital for treatment. The PATH approach to patient treatment is ultimately about giving patients and their families time and space to make complex health care decisions that protect their best interests and quality of life. “The goal of PATH is to help patients and families choose a blend of therapeutic and palliative measures that will best preserve an individual’s quality of life in their remaining time,” Shudall noted.

New initiative easing transitions at end-of-life care for clients with dementia News - Campbellford - A new initiative intended to ease transitions at end-oflife care for their clients and patients with dementia is being introduced by Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH). Announcement of the initiative was made at the hospital’s regular board meeting March 5. In its approach hospital team members are screening appropriate patients who are in need of palliative care sooner, while making sure the patient acquires proper support and end-of-life choices for both the patient and their family members. “We are hoping this approach will become best practice in caring for our seniors who suffer from dementia,” explained CMH Clinical Services Manager Kerry Shudall. She was a participant in a new, province-wide learning initiative to advance Ontario’s health system priorities by building capacity in quality improvement, leadership and change management across all health care sectors. That initiative is called Improving and Driving Excellence Across Sectors (IDEAS). A key component of the IDEAS program is an applied learning project. Shudall co-led the project with Rhonda Schwartz, director system planning, implementation and quality, from Seniors Care Network and worked with team members from Northumberland Hills Hospital and Rouge Valley’s geriatric assessment and intervention team to develop the “Easing Transitions at End-of-Life Care for Clients with Dementia” initiative. When making the announcement it was noted that in the region of the Central East Local Health Integration Network, (CE LHIN) it has been acknowledged that approaches for identifying older adults presenting with dementia, who

are nearing end of life, are not well established. As a result, many clients with late-stage dementia are not identified as palliative and are unable to access appropriate palliative supports. It was noted that this could result in the pursuit of futile treatments and health care interventions as well as missed opportunities to promote patient comfort and reduce suffering for patients and their families. “We’re very pleased to be taking the lead on this initiative,” said Shudall. “There are times when it is appropriate to take all the possible therapeutic measures to cure or delay the progression of illness. However, at other times, for example, with a frail, older adult with multiple health issues, this approach may cause more harm than good,” she added. “People who are frail may not be able to tolerate or benefit from the complex medical and surgical treatments that tend to benefit healthier people. When a person is in the final stage of his or her life, then

together “a really great presentation” that gave council members “something to really think about.” Council voted to have a staff report prepared updating information that was compiled a few years ago in response to the initial request for an ATV road use bylaw. McCarrell said in a later interview she was prompted to act after learning a farmer’s son had been fined $118 for riding an ATV on a municipal road between his house and a woodlot to get wood. “I see the common sense and the rightness of it, for the businesses and the people,” to pass an ATV road use bylaw for a trial period, McCarrell said. “What harm can be done?” she asked. “Let the feedback from the businesses and the public decide after that one year whether it should stay or not.” The Northumberland District ATV Riders Club says “Trent Hills is an important link” in connecting its trails with those managed by the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance in an area that stretches from the Bay of Quinte to Algonquin Park.

McRobbie said he’s “not aware of any empirical evidence” that expanded ATV regulations “decrease property value.” In his experience they’ve been “a non-factor regarding real estate transactions.” McCarrell told council she had collected nearly 700 signatures on a petition in support of her request, including those of 34 businesses, who thanked her for taking on the challenge. She read a letter from the owner of The Garden of Eatin’ in Warkworth, Karen Raymond, who wrote that council is “taking away a great deal” of business by not allowing ATV traffic to her restaurant. McCarrell pointed out that ATV clubs will create, groom and police trails “at no cost to the municipality” and with its input. As well, they do a great deal of work “to ensure public safety” through training sessions and educational materials that promote observance of the law and proper use of the machines by their owners. Councillor Rosemary KelleherMacLennan praised McCarrell for having done her homework in putting

Coach says farewell at youth curling awards

Sports - Norwood - It was a somewhat bittersweet celebration for Sherry Wilson as she applauded this year’s group of novice curlers during their annual wrap-up afternoon. The long-time Norwood Curling Club member and novice instructor announced that this was her ﬁnal season leading the program after seven years

at the helm. Her mother, Sharon Scott, founded the program in the late 1970s and introducing youth to curling has remained an abiding family tradition. “I started this for my kids [Sarah and Steven]. I wanted them to experience it and also other students to experience the sport. It has been a great pleasure,” Wilson said after the awards ceremony. The rink of Joshua Hanley, Silas

Mom planted the seed and I’m just sowing it,” she said. “I do hope that somebody picks it up; it’s very easy to run.

Producers rally to save Maple in the County

By Stephen Petrick

News - Carrying Place - There’s a sweet story behind this year’s Maple in the County event. The festival, a March tradition in Prince Edward County to celebrate its maple syrup producers, was run with help from Taste the County for the past ten years. Taste the County was an organization that promoted county agriculture businesses and restaurants. However, when Taste the County folded last year, the people behind Maple in the County refused to give up on their festival, which was coming up on its 14th year. The festival is now run with support from the Prince Edward County Community Development Department and is all set to go for the weekend of March 28 and 29, a time of year when maple trees are usually producing plenty of sap to make maple syrup. A press conference to promote the festival was held Friday, March 6, at Strictly Maple, a business near Carrying Place that’s participating in the event. There, organizers celebrated the fact that the event is soldiering on, with ten participating maple syrup producers on this year’s lineup. “Last year when Taste announced it was closing its doors the first call we got was from Ron [Hubbs, the festival’s planning committee chair],” said Neil Carbone, Prince Edward County’s Director of Community Development. Carbone said the festival is important for several reasons; it signifies the start of the busier tourism season and it’s an economic boost to the region, as it encourages travellers to drive through the county and support local businesses. But it’s also a sign that the worst weather of Producers and supporters of the Maple in the County festival used sap buckets for this photo-op at the Strictly Maple farm in Carrying Place on Friday, March 6. The photo was staged at a press conference the year is over. Please see “Maple” page B3 to promote this year’s festival taking place March 28 and 29. Photo: Stephen Petrick

Curle’s Sugarbush sweetens the pot this year with a new museum By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - Sweetening the pot with something new at Curle’s Sugarbush, tools of the trade dating to the 1800s are on display in a new museum on site. The Maple Museum, which occupies 1,000 square feet of the upper level of the Curle family’s former horse barn, was started last spring but this is the first maple syrup season that it will be fully open. “When we were doing renovations here [in the Sugar Shack] we started to realize how many things we have about the place that we’ve actually used in the 45 years of marriage that we’ve been making maple syrup … and Marc, of course, has been doing it longer with his

family,” said his wife Diane Curle. Curle’s Maple Products and Museum tapped into seven generations of family history at a special sesquicentennial celebration held in 2012 on the Curle homestead, and that pride in their tradition is evident in the newly created display of artefacts. From a pot flat pan dating to 1862, to syrup tins on a shelf, to “acknowledging the First Nations contribution of introducing pioneers to syrup,” the museum houses memorabilia and items from days gone by, most of which has been used by past generations of the Curle family. “We used to bring our hay and straw in here,” said Diane as she took this writer on a tour of the museum. Being the fifth generation of Curles, there was plenty on tap to see. “ T h e r e ’s grandad’s buckets … everything

standing still he painted red,” she said with a chuckle. “And there’s an 1880s evaporator that was used.” Today the Curles have a pellet-fired evaporator which they installed recently, which is more efficient and takes up less space. “The museum kind of evolved … so you start out with one piece of equipment and you go on and on. It’s all history that we have lived through and family before us and our part of it,” Diane explained. A large bucket with a motor that operated brushes inside and which was used to clean the sap buckets at the end of the season is in the museum. Tapping tools from the past and syrup decanters collected over the years are also among the museum’s treasurers. Putting the museum together was fun for Diane. “I had been to other museums and I enjoy that kind of thing. This museum is kind of something we’ve actually lived so that’s what makes it a little bit unique.

It’s the Curle family progression. It wasn’t even a thought process it just came together,” she said. “I had an idea that when you put these all together it tells a story.” With the maple syrup season just starting, the Curles will now be busy getting their new product ready so the self-guided tours will be a bonus for visitors. “Most years we are done tapping by now but it’s been so much snow and it’s so cold … we’ll go in now. It’ll take us

four or five days to tap,” said Marc. They expect to have new product available soon but there is still syrup from last year available. “Soon any leftover syrup I start converting into sugar but I held off because the syrup crop is so late coming in,” noted Diane. The Curle’s Sugar Shack is open all year from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information go to: <http:// www.curlesmaple.ca/> or you can find them on Facebook.

Therapist plans trip to New Orleans to make donation to pit bull rescue centre

Jessica Mechetuk, owner of JEDM Therapies on Oliver Road in Campbellford, raises money in support of dog rescues and shelters through her Help the Helpless program. She will travel to New Orleans in April to make a donation to, and to volunteer at, the largest facility in the world for the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of abused and abandoned pit bulls.

News - Campbellford - A registered massage therapist by trade and an animal lover by nature, Jessica Mechetuk will be travelling to New Orleans in the latter role to donate $1,500 to the Villalobos

Rescue Center. It’s a non-profit rescue, rehabilitation and placement facility for abused and abandoned pit bulls, whose founder, Tia Torres, and crew are featured in an American reality television series, Pit Bulls & Parolees, shown on Animal Planet. With “everything they do and the expense of it all, I just figured there’s something I can do,” Mechetuk said. The owner of JEDM Therapies will be delivering more than money to the centre in New Orleans in late April; she and her boyfriend, Kevin Roberts, will be driving down in a vehicle loaded with dog crates and several containers of towels, blankets, leashes and other supplies. They plan to volunteer at the centre while down there. Mechetuk is a long-time fan of the television show which has been on the air for six seasons. She once owned a pit bull until she had to put it down about 11 years ago for health reasons. “She was awesome, the smartest dog I ever had,” she said of the pet she acquired when it was a pup and kept for eight years until spinal disease set in.

Today she owns a pair of boxers. supports.

Animal abuse disgusts her, it’s no different from abuse of the elderly or children. “It’s all important to me that people treat those who haven’t a voice with respect,” she said. Unfortunately, “it happens too often that it’s not done that way.” Mechetuk stands up for dogs who have been mistreated or abandoned through her Help the Helpless program, which generates funds that assist dog rescues and shelters throughout Ontario and support the pet food bank in Brighton. She also donates to the humane societies in Quinte West and Peterborough. Mechetuk does volunteer work as well, with Homeward Bound and Boxer Rescue, transporting animals, inspecting houses, doing temperament tests on dogs, and interviewing possible adoptive and foster care families over the phone. Mechetuk currently has a draw for a $250 gift basket, with all the proceeds from the sale of $5 tickets to be divided among all the rescues and shelters she

Maple in the County set for end of March

“It’s a symbol of the end of winter; it’s a sign that spring is around the corner and I think that’s why everyone comes out,” Carbone said. Hubbs said people involved in Maple in the County were only too happy to step up and resume some of the gritty administrative work needed to make the festival run. He said with Taste of the County no longer running the festival, organizers are trying to put a heavier emphasis on promoting the farms

involved. The committee’s been working for several months to get the festival ready, Hubbs said. He explained the festival works similar to an art tour. Participants are encouraged to pick up a map and travel to the various participating farms to see the products they’re offering over the weekend. “We sell a lot of maple syrup and we sell a lot of value-added products,” Hubbs said. “It’s good for the producers. People always seem to come out

and meet at the farms and the sugar bushes.” The ten participating producers are: Sweetwater Cabin/Hubbs Sugarbush, Fosterholm Farms, Vader’s Maple Syrup, Nyman Farms, Honey Wagon Farms, Sugarbush Vineyards, Waupoos Estates Winery & Sugarbush, Walt’s Sugar Shack, Strictly Maple and Three Dog Winery & Sugarbush.

Cooking in a volcano in Portugal’s Furnas Valley

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - In last week’s travel piece, I talked about a recent visit to Portugal’s Azores, a group of nine volcanic islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Well, I’ve decided that this week I’ll focus on my favourite day trip I took while on Sao Miguel Island in the Azores. After all, it was to the fascinating Furnas Valley, which positively trembles with thermal activity. Here I walked, on designated boardwalks and footpaths, among the bubbling hot springs, steam, geysers, fumaroles, mud pools, and caldeiras found right in the village of Furnas itself. It’s quite an awesome sight. And there’s the definite smell of sulphur The food is cooked in concrete silos in the hot, sulphurous earth. in the air. A highlight of this trip is the cooking of the visited the nearby Terra Nostra Botanical Park, “cozido” in the hot earth. Potatoes, carrots, with its beautiful hydrangeas, sculptures, and yams, beef, pork, chicken, etc. are all placed water fountains. I even found a nice swimming together in a large pot, and this is lowered into pool in this park, filled with warm mineral wathe ground, where the ingredients of this “Por- ter, and I discovered it was rather refreshing, tuguese stew” are all cooked inside a concrete even though it was a rusty brown colour and silo that is then covered and heaped with dirt. looked rather murky.

area, including the fact that the airport in Ponta Delgada had to be moved because there were too many problems with cows near the flight path. She confided that she certainly enjoyed her life now on Sao Miguel, for she’s an avid cyclist and hiker, and this area offers several “wonderful hiking trails” and some “great offroad mountain biking routes.” She further told me that many Azoreans have migrated, over the years, to the Toronto and Vancouver areas, and many of them regularly return “home” in May for the major religious festival, the “Festival of the Christ of Miracles,” which is always held on the fifth Sunday after Easter. She said, “This is the toughest time of the year to find hotel ac-

commodations, for the islands are particularly busy.” I visited Sao Miguel Island and did this Furnas tour back in February, when the cold and snow were playing havoc back here in Canada. It was also the winter season in Europe, but it was a rather pleasant 15C there (“windbreaker weather”). However, I’d think that May or June would be an even better time to visit the Azores, for it would be warmer then, at the peak of their whale-watching season, and the plentiful hedges of hydrangeas that act as fences and barriers would be in full bloom.

Honourable Mention: Dania MaderaLerman, Havelock, for her watercolour “Blues”; Judy Hopkins, Baltimore, for her acrylic on canvas “Rooster Study”; and Diane Arsenault, Grafton, for her acrylic on canvas “Japonica Aquilegia.”

The Best Photograph award, sponsored by The Holmestead: Print and Business Services, was won by Brian Tyson of Hastings for “Milk Truck.” “The image drew me in from the moment I looked at it: the complexity of the image made up of textures, shiny surfaces, lines, the orthogonal lines drawing us in to the centre where a milk truck awaits us, with the driver’s foot hanging over the open window ledge, the cartoon of a cow … all punctuated by a dramatic and looming sky. I kept on wanting to look at it and explore more and more,” said Browne. Honourable Mention: Mary Weilandt of Warkworth for “Glass.” The fourth and final category Best 3D or Mixed Media, sponsored by Warkworth Remedy’s Rx, was won by Suzanne Towns of Campbellford for her fibre art “Untitled.” “The first thing I noticed was its tactile quality. I wanted to touch it, explore its surfaces, the layers of felting all combining to create a wonderful blob of organic matter. The colours, the material, the holes, the scrunching of the material, the playfulness of the form contribute to a fabulous piece of sculpture,” said Browne. Honourable Mention: Rob Cochrane of Roseneath for his serpentine stone carving “Orca.”

Keeping track of bird migrations By Richard Turtle

News - Ivanhoe - Mike Burrell has spent a lot of time watching birds, and after years of formal study, he says there is a lot to be learned from their behaviour. Burrell spoke to a packed house last week at the Huntingdon Veterans Memorial Hall, explaining how ordinary citizens can participate in a variety of programs that involve bird enthusiasts from around the world. The talk was the third in this season’s well-attended Winter Speaker Series and, explained Hastings Stewardship Council representative Jim Pedersen, the information sessions that touch on a range of topics, are intended “to help us all be better stewards of the land.” Upcoming presentations include John and Janet Foster’s Stories From the Wild on March 19, and Pam Sangster and Daniel Tubb’s geology and mining talk scheduled for April 2. But last week it was all about the birds. Burrell, who works as the Important Bird Areas Co-ordinator for Bird Studies Canada, admits he has the perfect job for someone whose interest in bird watching began in public school. “I don’t see how you couldn’t be interested in birds,” he told the crowd of more than 100, the vast majority of whom didn’t consider them-

selves birders when asked for a show of hands. But when asked how many maintained feeders, or paid particular attention to the presence of birds around their homes, the number of hands increased dramatically. In his talk, Burrell discussed his work with Bird Studies Canada, studying migratory patterns and nesting and feeding behaviours, as well as his vacation time spent doing much the same. A recent trip to Ecuador, where the population of Canadian warblers was at a seasonal high, was particularly memorable, he says. A species at risk, he says the Canadian warbler is represented in the Bird Studies logo and is one of many he considers to be a favourite. But his list of favourites was a long one and Burrell has been busily encouraging others to appreciate the avian life around them. “All of you are potential scientists,” he said, noting there are various Bird Studies Canada sanctioned programs that are open to the general public. And the data being collected as a result of numerous initiatives around the world, he says, has greatly increased our understanding of bird populations and risk factors involved in the various migrations. By studying birds, and maintaining ongoing programs to track their numbers, trends and behaviours, he adds, the

results can often serve as indicators for the rest of the environment. It is through programs such as the Christmas Bird Count and Project FeederWatch that individuals can report their own findings and download them into databases on the Internet. Using maps and graphs during his presentation, Burrell noted that there are several sites nearby that are of international significance because of the role they play in migratory patterns. And many of those share common characteristics that make them particularly appealing as resting places for species in transit. A resident of Kingston, who also works at the Bird Studies offices in Port Rowan, Burrell says many birding enthusiasts are familiar with Napanee, Presqu’ile and other locations in and around Prince Edward County because of the prevalence of a variety of species at different times of year. Through its educational and stewardship programs, Burrell says, Bird Studies is seeing a significant increase in reporting and that is helping volunteers and members make a difference for Canada’s birds. Further information about Bird Studies Canada, membership and the programs offered, is available on the Internet at <www. Mike Burrell provided some insight into the behaviour of various bird species and what can be learned by studying them around the year in the various locations they inhabit. The Bird Studies Canada representative was the third prebirdscanada.org>. senter in the Winter Speaker Series hosted by the Hastings Stewardship Council.

Her performance in Bethany â&#x20AC;&#x153;captivated the whole buildingâ&#x20AC;? and her â&#x20AC;&#x153;energetic stage presence, sweet charm and old soul voiceâ&#x20AC;? pushed her above the four performers who opened the talent show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a challenging night for the judges,â&#x20AC;? said Jane Doidge of the Ranch Resort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each of the groups delivered solid and strong performances. The audience even had a hard time choosing an overall handsdown favourite.â&#x20AC;? 2

Entertainment - Bethany Gloria Digby has moved on to the second round of The Next Country Music Star Talent Search co-sponsored by the Havelock Country Jamboree and The Ranch Resort in Bethany. The 18-year-old Napaneebased singer/songwriter wowed the audience and got the judgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top votes during an evening competition that brought together ďŹ ve outstanding performers, all with the hope of taking the Talent Searchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand championship and a guest spot on the Havelock Jamboreeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous twin stage with the likes of Clint Black, Brett Kissel and Tanya Tucker.

Audience participation in the voting is a big part of The Next Music Star Talent Search with overall evening winners advancing automatically to the semi-ďŹ nal round. There are also openings for wild card selections. Opening the evening was Briannah Colton, 18, who showed strong â&#x20AC;&#x153;on-stage conďŹ denceâ&#x20AC;? and clear-noted â&#x20AC;&#x153;rendition of classic country songs.â&#x20AC;? Five Mile Turn (Jeanne Thompson and Ken Tuck) turned in a gig that included a â&#x20AC;&#x153;unique blend of folk and countryâ&#x20AC;? with Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;conďŹ dent, sultry voiceâ&#x20AC;? and Tuckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;remarkable guitar playingâ&#x20AC;? getting the audience into the show. Crowd-pleasing Jamie Pounder was up next and delivered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fusionâ&#x20AC;? of Buddy Holly and John Fogarty delivering original songs and classic covers. David Byrski brought his â&#x20AC;&#x153;new traditionalâ&#x20AC;? voice and style to the stage with the judges commenting on his song writing skills, â&#x20AC;&#x153;mesmerizing voiceâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;charismaticâ&#x20AC;? stage presence. Judging the performances were Jen Goheen, Chad KalbďŹ&#x201A;eisch, Bruce Sutton and special guest Jamie Spurvey. The Next Country Music Start Talent Search continues March 14 at The Ranch Resort and runs every Saturday until April 11. Tickets are $5 at the door; dinner and show reservations are $20 and can be booked by calling 705-2771942.
