News – Campbellford – Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan joined local dignitaries from across the county who are delivering meals to clients of Meals on Wheels this month, as part of the March for Meals Initiative.

“For people who can’t get out, especially this time of year, I think it’s very very important they have access to a nutritious meal,” Macmillan said Monday when he picked up containers of food for delivery.

Meals on Wheels is one of many programs offered by Community Care Northumberland (CCN).

The mayor was joined by CCN volunteer Franklin Carwardine.

“I am going to do this every Monday,” he said with a grin.

Carwardine has been a volunteer for several years.

“One of Frank’s gifts is he is good company. The people he delivers to look forward to seeing him,” said Kari Crate, outcome support facilitator with Community Living in Campbellford.

Community Care for Northumberland says the March for Meals Initiative is designed to promote the important role the program plays in caring for members in the community.

Delicious, nutritious meals are available for a small fee to individuals who cannot cook for themselves or easily shop for groceries.

Volunteers deliver meals to client’s homes during the noon hour.

Last year, from April 1 to Dec. 31, they delivered 3.136 hot and frozen meals throughout the Municipality of Trent Hills.

In Campbellford, hot meals are prepared by Sharpe’s Food Market; on Fridays they’re prepared by

President talks about challenges

By Sue Dickens

News – Campbellford – Bringing the business community together to face the challenges of 2014 is a priority for the Trent Hills and District Chamber of Commerce, says its newly elected president.

“We’ve sat down at the beginning of this year and put together some objectives, things we want to work towards,” Jeff Hamilton said in an interview following the chamber’s annual meeting last week.

“We have found in our workshops we’ve done in the past, Please see “Trent” on page 2 when we’ve been able to get mem-

bers of the chamber of commerce together, there’s been a real sense of camaraderie and opportunities for sharing,” he said.

“So we’re going to focus on that this year in this challenging business time.”

Hamilton said businesses will need the support of the chamber now more than ever. “I certainly think there’s going to be the challenges we’ve had for the past few years and I don’t think we are completely out of the recession but certainly issues such as the rising cost of hydro and things like that are a concern,” he commented.

The rising cost of utilities seems to come up for discussion whenever business owners get together. “So what we want to do is focus on helping businesses in every way we can through marketing efforts,” said Hamilton. “And I don’t think it’s all doom and gloom,” he added.

“I certainly see, for the municipality, a lot of things happening where we can help by working with the economic development committee together ... to put some ideas forward.” Asked what he thought of the term “shop locally” as a marketing tool, Hamilton responded: “The idea of throwing

Community Living Campbellford/Brighton receives RBC employee volunteer grant contributions and support of several programs and community initiatives served to grow their stature in the community, and although both women are now retired, their dedication and sense of community and philanthropy have not. Community Living noted in a news release that the pair, whose spouses, Chris Park and John Mood, are members of its board of directors, provide a great deal of support for the organization. Whether it’s contributing to official functions or assisting with fundraising events such as

the annual Christmas Food and Toy Drive, they can be relied on to give help, Community Living said in a news release.

“Elizabeth and Marlene continue to dedicate countless hours of steadfast, ‘behindthe-scenes’ support to this organization,” it stated.

The two grants will go to the organization’s Outcomes Sponsorship Fund, which provides persons with an intellectual disability financial assistance to achieve their personal outcomes and to realize their life goals and dreams.

For some people, those goals might not be obtainable due to a lack of resources. The Outcomes Sponsorship Fund has helped people take advantage of educational opportunities, purchase orthotics, go on vacation, pay tuition, buy dentures, and reconnect with families. The fund pays for medical supports not covered by any other source.

The fund is also used to offset costs for items that are otherwise unaffordable and to reduce the burden of the high cost of accessible transportation, which restricts some people from full participation in the community.

Since 1999, RBC has made more than 24,500 grants and donated in excess of $12 million in celebration of employees’ volunteer efforts.

Awards nominations close soon

Meals are delivered throughout Campbellford Mondays to Fridays.

In Hastings, hot meals are prepared by Banjo’s Grill and distributed on Wednesdays.

More than 20,000 meals in total are delivered through-

out Northumberland County.

“Our multi-service agency depends on volunteers.” said Trish Baird, executive director of CCN. “Without their weekly support the Meals on Wheels program would not be able to service the growing needs of our clients.”

We have an adoption process which includes an application and contract. This month our adoption fees are reduced to $75. for kittens and $50. for cats.

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

She thanked the mayor “for his participation in this year’s initiative to raise awareness of the Meals on Wheels program” offered by the agency.

Clients in Northumberland can order hot or frozen meals, and special diets can be accommodated. Potential clients must register for this service.

Personal Distress Alarms loan program expands

Community Care Northumberland recently received funding to expand its Personal Distress Alarms Loan Program, throughout the county, including Trent Hills.

a provincial government investment in small, rural and northern hospitals,” said Trish Baird, executive director of Community Care Northumberland (CCN). “This partnership with our local hospitals will help keep people safe in their own homes.”

A personal distress alarm is a small portable transmitter that is worn as a pendant or wristband; combined with a small table top unit, it provides clients with 24-hour support. In case of emergency or distress, the client pushes a button on the PDA that sends a signal to the monitoring station, where trained operators immediately dispatch help.

Until now the service had been limited to residents in Cobourg and Port Hope.

The expansion will allow Community Care Northum-

berland to loan units to residents throughout Northumberland County. Fifteen of the 50 additional PDAs are available through Community Care’s Campbellford office. PDAs will also be loaned out through CCN’s offices in Colborne and Brighton. CCN program coordinator Natisha Debutte, who works out of Campbellford, said there was a waiting list for the PDAs in Cobourg. Baird said clients are advised to always wear their pendants, even when bathing, as the units are sealed to be waterproof.

“Once the button is pressed, the monitoring station will receive a call for help and an operator will call the client’s home phone. If they are able to answer their phone, the operator immediately calls the client’s contact people to

Life not easy for Christians living in Egypt John Campbell

News – Campbellford – Life isn’t easy for Christians living in Egypt, says a Christian who was born and raised there before moving Canada 24 years ago.

Speaking at the World Day of Prayer ecumenical service held at Campbellford Baptist Church March 7, Ehab Fanous said he still keeps “an eye on everything that goes on in Egypt” and while he is encouraged by some of the changes taking place in his former home, he advised those in attendance to wait a couple of years before visiting, “until things settle down.”

He described the many hardships Christians have to endure in a country where Islam rules. Centuries ago it was Christianity that was predominant but today just 10 per cent of Egypt’s 84 million people are followers of Christ, belonging to the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, the largest Christian church in the Middle East.

Growing up, he would hear every day over loudspeakers attached to mosques imans “talking about Christians going to hell,” he said. “We were always worried that someone was going to bomb the church (he attended).”

The danger remains real. Last year 83 Christian churches were burned in Egypt over a six-month period, Fanous said.

“If you go to church and you think there’s a chance the church is going to be blown up or somebody is going to walk in with a machine gun and kill everybody, it’s very difficult (to practise your religion).”

“What we are praying for today is a new Egypt (with) new freedoms,” he said.

Fanous urged his listeners “to pray for Canada” as well because the reli-

gious prejudices that divide Egypt is being brought into this country by immigrants from the Middle East.

“They can change things,” he warned, and not for the better, by getting involved in politics to espouse their points of view and instill their beliefs.

A senior IT system consultant employed at the Durham Cancer Centre in Oshawa, Fanous said afterward he’s “quite concerned” that what’s happening in other countries is being repeated in Canada.

He said Canada should “keep (its) culture the way it is and just stay true” to its heritage and traditions, and resist the clamor for change by new arrivals that can be divisive. It’s “going to impact us all in the end” and put at risk freedoms Canadians have long enjoyed, Fanous said.

The ecumenical service, “Streams in the Desert,” written by the World Day of

Prayer Committee of Egypt, also offered up prayers of intercession, for women in Egypt and all other countries who “are usually among the first to suffer when the economy is bad,” and for “deprived widows everywhere ... so they are not forced to beg or to sell themselves.”

Prayers were also said for an “increased interest in education, especially the education of girls.”

The program for the service noted that women were active in the 2011 protests that led to the overthrow of Egypt’s dictatorial president and they continue “to strive for equality (but) a rise in sexual assaults on women, especially at mass protests, suggests an effort to dissuade them. As Egyptian politicians consider ancient traditions like female genital mutilation, child brides, the voice of women is urgently needed but they constitute a tiny percentage of the Egyptian cabinet.”

News – Campbellford – The legacy of Schelle Holmes as past president of the Trent Hills and District Chamber of Commerce was honoured at the organization’s annual meeting recently.

“Schelle is a volunteer who has given her heart and soul to the chamber for the last two years,” said newly elected president Jeff Hamilton, who presented her with a bouquet and an award for her hard work.

She is “really one of the guiding forces of the community when we talk about innovation, when we talk about doing different things,” he said, and she has helped “all of you to grow and expand your business in certainly troublesome times.”

Hamilton pointed out Holmes, in addition to her volunteer work as chamber president, “has become a

very successful businesswoman in the community.”

Holmes, in turn, paid tribute to the president she followed, Brian Redden, thanking him for his support during her time in office. “The role of president is an honour and a privilege,” she said, as she talked about the accomplishments and challenges faced by the chamber and its staff.

Looking back at last year’s successes, Holmes said chamber staff “helped to bring awareness and participated in researching an alternative model for managing the Trent- Severn Waterway,” she said.

Other events that took place during her tenure included expansion of services at the Service Ontario site to include Ontario photo card services.

“And remember the year before it was expanded to be able to in-

clude OHIP cards reissues,” she added.

The organization also gave The Chamber News, the organization’s newsletter, “a new design fresh layout and fresher approach to things”.

Holmes said chamber staff “also expanded the use of social media and then offered workshops, training and programs to assist businesses and interested parties in their use.”

And the “great year-end finale was publication of the Trent Hills Christmas Countdown Shopping Guide.” Holmes praised executive director Nancy Allanson and administrative coordinator Dawn Welch, saying they “are role models for all of us with their positive attitudes, professional demeanor, outstanding ideas and incredible planning.”

Before passing the torch to the

News – Trent Hills – White Horse Investments Corp. has revised its proposal to build a 28-lot subdivision on Concession Road 11 West south of Hastings, in response to concerns raised by people living in the area.

The concerns included the impact the subdivision could have the supply of ground water in the area. Trent Hills director of planning Jim Peters said five test wells were drilled and subjected to pump tests, to determine the effect on nearby wells; a hydrotechnical report recommended that as wells are drilled on the new lots, they also be subjected to pump tests supervised by qualified personnel.

But assurances by the developer’s planner, Bob Clark, that “there is a tremendous water resource” beneath the 90-acre property and that the subdivision will have “no impact” on nearby wells provided little comfort for two of

the site’s neighbours.

At a public meeting held March 4 Eddie Stackhouse asked the developer to agree “to make full financial compensation” to property owners in the immediate area whose wells are subsequently adversely affected or go dry not as a result of an act on nature.

If your well is reduced to “low capacity with a slow recovery time, then a normal lifestyle turns into a living hell, you’re always out of water,” he said.

“The problem is we don’t have the legal authority to put that into effect, and, secondly, how would you ever prove that?” Mayor Hector Macmillan responded.

The pump down test is intended to address the concerns raised by Stackhouse and others at the outset. If it fails, “then they’ll know enough” not to proceed with the development of that particular lot, the mayor said.

The donation represents the final installement of the company’s five-year, $25,000 commitment to the hospital’s $2.5 million CT Scanner Fundraising Campaign. Joining in the presentation are (left to right) lab technician Carlea Ellis, Senior Purchasing Supervisor Doug Staples and Health and Safety Manager Brian Larmer. Unimin’s gift was part of a $400,000 fundraising commitment by individuals, businesses, community groups and service clubs based in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen. Since being installed in January of 2010, the CT Scanner has proven to be a lifesaving diagnostic tool for the medical professionals as well as creating a shorter wait time for area patients requiring a CT scan.

Don Quist voiced the same fear about a potential loss of water but he wasn’t looking for financial compensation should that happen. He tried and failed to get a commitment from the developer that if the aquifer dries up, White Horse deals with it, “you get us water.”

The changes the corporation has agreed to will be made conditions for approval of the subdivision. They include providing additional buffer, improving the site’s storm water management, and installing a gate where the subdivision’s internal

road connects to Maple Ridge Drive, to allow alternate access for emergency and municipal vehicles while not adding to the traffic on the existing road.

The lots range in size from one acre to 13 acres; seven have frontage along the Trent River. The subdivision is to be developed over 10 years at a pace set by demand.

Council directed staff to bring forward the necessary official plan and zoning bylaw amendments and conditional subdivision approval for its consideration.

Xerostomia, a.k.a. Dry Mouth

Do you frequently experience a dry mouth? Xerostomia (the clinical term for dry mouth) is a condition of the salivary glands which leads to a less than adequate supply of saliva.

Causes may include over-thecounter medications, commonly prescribed drugs, radiation treatment, chemotherapy, hormonal changes, and diabetes. Contributing factors include stress, anxiety, depression, and poor nutrition.

If you are experiencing a dry mouth, it is highly recommended that you seek the care of a dental professional.

For those who live in or around the Trenton/Quinte West and Belleville area, Dr. Brett's Family Dentistry is a practice to consider. They are accepting new patients and Dr. Brett and his caring, professional staff will attempt to answer any questions you may have and help to provide options to manage your condition.

They will begin by pointing out the importance of saliva for lubrication, taste, swallowing, speaking and digestion. More importantly, dry mouth increases your risk of tooth decay and other oral problems.

Staff will also inform patients of the

signs and symptoms of dry mouth.

They include difficulty speaking, difficulty swallowing, altered taste, tooth decay, gingivitis, and stale or bad breath, also known as halitosis.

What can Dr. Brett and his staff do to help with a dry mouth condition?

Once the cause has been determined, they will discuss options to manage your condition. They may include recommending a salivary substitute, specialized mouthwashes, toothpastes

and sugar-free gum, drinking plenty of water, avoiding alcohol, caffeine, citrus juices, smoking, and lowering your sodium intake. All of these simple life changes may help to manage the symptoms of dry mouth and the discomfort it may cause.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor, Don’t instantly start applying banal, inaccurate labels, I tell you. That is what I want to say every time I get an awkward stare from across the hall at my high school, or every time people try to look away while I am at the mall. My name is Jonathan Lu and I am 17 years old. I have cerebral palsy, which affects how I walk, and various other things especially my fine motor skills such as writing, cutting with scissors and even folding laundry. (Yes, I enthusiastically fold laundry, just like every other teen-

ager in the world!)

Although I am not able to do some things as well as others my age, I also have many abilities that come with my disability.

Kids with physical disabilities have passions and hobbies as well, just like every other kid. I love to read, play musical instruments (I am fluent in piano, guitar, cello, bass and drums), watch television and drink Iced Caramel Macchiatos. (Just kidding, I actually prefer tea, so I order the Passion Tea Lemonade.)

Kids with physical disabilities

are just like any other kid. So why aren’t we treated like one?

Why is the focus on the physical disability rather than on the children themselves? Why is the majority of society unable to look beyond the superficial and see the true character of the individual? The majority of children have an innate self-consciousness regarding themselves. This selfconsciousness is amplified when you are a child with a physical disability.

I have never been very confident or very outgoing. I think

a large part of this is due to my physical disability. When I was younger, I spent more time in the hospital than I spent at school due to frequent appointments with specialists. These occurrences, I feel, impacted my social skills tremendously. I was used to talking to doctors and nurses rather than fellow children. I was used to discussing my gait and bone density rather than chatting with my friends about the newest video game that they already finished three times. It did not mean that I did not want to, but rather did

not have the opportunity to. I struggle with oral participation in class. If the discussion were occurring in my mind, I am sure that I would do very well. Likewise, if telepathic communication would ever be possible then I would not be writing this article. However, the way that society sees me is different from the way I see myself.

Perception is a very powerful thing. Its impact on our daily lives is beyond what we can consciously comprehend.

You see a man of dark complexion sleeping on the street, then you immediately start walking faster in the other direction. You see a tan-skinned man wearing a turban take a seat beside you on the bus, and your mind fills with images of terrorism. Remember that dark-skinned homeless man? Well, he is well-educat-

ed, former business professional who sold all his assets to care for his ill, elderly parents before they passed away.

And, that tan-complexioned man wearing a turban? He is a doctor who runs a medical clinic in the Middle East for child victims of civil war. You see a child sitting in a wheelchair, a child using crutches, a child using a walker, a child with plastic supports on his legs and a child who is “normal� rather than a group of children who hang out every Saturday to relax after a long week. It is time for a social paradigm shift. It is time we start seeing with the eyes of our hearts. Children with physical disabilities have a lot to offer society. All we want is a chance. You can start by treating us like any other kid.

Eliminating sugar from your diet Dear Editor Got pain? Sugar might be causing your pain – honestly, read on.

For a very long time a 52year old friend has been suffering from chronic leg pains.

Recently the pain started in his upper body as well. Doctors told him there was nothing they could do. New knees were out of the question – he was too young.

He took a leap of faith and made an appointment with Dr. Michelle Durkin, a naturopathic doctor in Belleville.

First he was required to fill out a lengthy questionnaire.

From this she was able to form a diagnosis. She spent an hour with him, and advised him to eliminate sugars,

as well as starches, because they turn into sugar.

Now about four months later the upper body pain has disappeared. In his legs he says from 1 to 10, the pain is at a two or three. Before, it was eight. This improvement happened in less than a month.

Previous to this, a 65-year old lady friend was suffering with various pains, including leg pains. Her diagnosis was difficult. She was to go on a certain medication. As long as she takes her medication she is pain-free.

Chronic pain is difficult to bar. Maybe a “leap of faith� will help someone else.

Indian election could mean push to right

Editorial - An Indian election is a marathon, not a sprint. The voting will start in a month’s time, on April 7, but the voting will move around the country on nine phases, ending on May 12. Then the votes will all be counted—there are 814 million eligible voters—and the result will be known on May 16. But a lot of people think they know the result now: Narendra Modi of the BJP will be prime minister, and India will swing Gwynne Dyer hard right.

The BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party – Indian People’s Party) is a socially conservative, Hindu nationalist party that has only had one full term in national office, in 1998-2004. That time, it led a broad coalition that restrained its more extreme sectarian impulses. This time, however, many Indian observers claim to detect a “Modi wave” of support that might carry the BJP into power on its own. That would certainly make for interesting times.

Narendra Modi is best known for two things: the remarkable economic growth and relative freedom from corruption of his home state of Gujarat, and his alleged complicity in the massacre of more than 1,000 Muslims during religious riots shortly after he became chief minister of Gujarat in 2001.

The prosperity of Gujarat is obviously a political asset for him. The problem is that his alleged religious extremism is also an asset in the view of some of his potential supporters.

Indeed, that is probably why Modi has never expressed any regret or offered any apologies for the riots, an omission that many see as disqualifying him for high political office.

One such is Manmohan Singh, India’s prime minister for the last ten years, who said when announcing his retirement in January: “It would be disastrous for the country to have Narendra Modi as the next prime minister. If by a strong prime minister they mean you preside over the massacre of innocent citizens on the streets … I do not believe that is the sort of strength this country needs.”

But the ruling Congress Party is weighed down by corruption scandals and slowing economic growth, and Congress’s candidate for prime minister is none other than Rahul Gandhi, whose father, grandmother and great-grandfather have all held the job in the past. But Rahul’s political ideas seem half-formed, his rhetoric struggles under the burden of words like “empowerment,” and he is seriously lacking in novelty value.

Hence the “Modi wave.” The BJP currently leads Congress by a wide margin in the opinion polls: a January poll gave it 34 per cent of the vote, almost twice as much as it got in the last national election in 2009. Voters prefer Modi to Gandhi as prime minister in virtually every state—and among 18- to 25-year-old voters the BJP outpolls Congress almost two-toone.

So the pundits are speculating on how a BJP government would behave if it were led by Narendra Modi and had no need of coalition partners. There is no precedent for that. Last time the BJP government was a complicated coalition led by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a poet and intellectual of moderate views, and none of its more extreme nationalist and Hindu positions got translated into actual policies.

If it were different this time, then India would be moving into unknown waters, and the possibilities would be as alarming as they were extreme. But that may just be Indian journalists trying to inject a little more tension and excitement into the story. The reality is probably rather less exciting.

Thirty-four per cent of the vote is much better than the BJP got last time, but it doesn’t get you a majority in the parliament. In fact, it leaves you about 50 seats short of a majority, which tumbles you back into the real world of coalitions and deals, and having to put aside your cherished sectarian goals in order to make the deals work. Just like last time, even if your name is Narendra Modi.

Getting to 50 per cent of the vote is almost impossible for any political party in the Indian political system, because a good deal of the vote always goes to regional and local parties that are quite separate from the big national parties. It’s especially hard for the BJP, because it’s hard to imagine that any of the 13 per cent of Indians who are Muslim would vote for the BJP. There are 39 parties in the current parliament, and there may be even more in the next one. Most of them would be willing to join a coalition government in return for concessions on whatever local or regional issues they or their voters care about, but they will also have red lines that must not be crossed or they will leave the coalition.

Assuming that the outcome of the election does leave the BJP as the biggest party, but without an overall majority, those red lines will probably confine Narendra Modi to relatively moderate policies on religious issues. If not, then India is in for a wild ride, and at the end of it the country may no longer be known for its tolerance.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Weather engineering by world powers Dear Editor It wasn’t until recently that I learned that various nations in this world of ours have the power to influence the weather.

It is an alarming and frightening realization that is in fact, a reality.

This subject is well known to the world superpowers, United States and Russia, who themselves have been able to create serious weather situations that created havoc and economic losses. (See Wisconsin Rain Storm 1978).

The consequences of this development were so serious that realizing the danger of a devastating confrontation between the United States and Russia was so great that in 1977, a UN treaty against weather modification for hostile purposes was signed by the United States and Russia. Does Russia honour their treaties?

This treaty, however, did not signify the end of weather experimentation. Other nations have also developed the means to modify weather; this subject is rarely ever talked about and is never put into the public media mainstream.

If one remembers that in 1950, North America had one of the worst winters ever. In 1950, we were in the middle of the Cold War with the USSR. Were they able to influence the weather for North America?

Fast forward to today, and amid evidence that Putin of the Russian Federation wants to take over those small countries that were previously part of the USSR, North America has experienced one of the worst winters ever, causing huge economic losses and total disruption of our populations.

During this winter, the jetstream has maintained a very low and static position south of the Great Lakes, which has brought about the severe cold and record amounts of snow.

Could the Russians have engineered this? Anything is possible. For the record, all of this information is available on the Internet. You just have to look.

Kate’s dreams

By Kate Everson Editorial - The first thing you have to do when writing an editorial is cut your fingernails. With all that click-clacking on the keyboard, trying to write 900 words gets annoying. Not that I mind being asked to write an editorial since the editor is on holidays trekking in Nepal. I haven’t been asked to write an editorial since I worked for The Community Press many years ago, and for some reason, nobody has asked me since. So ... this is my chance! What can I say that I am not normally allowed to say, trying to be an objective reporter?

Politics? Gag me with a spoon. The weather? That could get boring, since all I can see out my window right now is snow. What else? Women’s issues? That would only appeal to half the readership, although ... no, better not go there. I may just step over the line a bit on that one. I do have things to say that had better not be said.

But ... hmmmm ... women do have a few issues. And most of them are men. I do believe in equality of the sexes. I wish men believed in it too.

Who is ruling the world? Men. Why is the world in such a mess? Men. Enough said. Well, just one more thing.

Have you ever wondered why men are so odd? I mean, look at them.

They are kind of cute, some of them, but the rest are just falling apart.

Big stomachs (beer belly, they say proudly), very little hair (oh we are the most virile, they say with a wink) and they talk more, much more than they think.

Look at our politicians. Okay, I know I said I wouldn’t get into politics, but now you’ve got me going. I really liked Harper when I first met him, shaking hands at the local Tim Hortons a few years back. He seemed like a nice, friendly, honest, down-home kinda guy. His hair was a bit odd, but that’s probably not his fault (blame the wife, of course).

But now, I don’t know. He seems to like money more than people. I mean, I like money too (if I had any) but somehow real flesh and blood people seem more important. He wants the pipeline to disrupt people’s lives and their homes. He wants the tar sands to hurt the ecology. He doesn’t care about Frank Meyers farm, but likes militants instead.

But I do have to give him credit for one thing. He took a stand against Russia in the Ukraine. Maybe because he comes from the west and knows a lot of people from there. Immigrants, families eking out an existence in the cold prairies. You have to feel sorry for them, here and there.

But I wonder how different he would be if he were a she. Instead of Stephen Harper, let’s call her Stephanie.

Now, Stephanie, can we talk? I know you just got out of a meeting at the Parliament buildings and you don’t normally talk to reporters without a set list of questions, but seriously, can we just talk, face to face, woman to woman?

How much do you want to bet she’d say yes? Of course, Katie, I’d love to talk to you. Let’s sit down and have a cappuccino and maybe a sticky bun. And then it would begin. The real dialogue. The meat of the matters.

What is really going on. Wouldn’t we all love to know? Somehow, I think it would be better if there were more females in politics. Compared to the population ratio, we are severely under-represented. How can we expect the world to care about people if we don’t include the most caring?

Women are by nature, nurturers. We care when someone is hurting. We don’t count the change in our purse and look the other way. We reach out a hand, and say, “Come here. Let’s have a hug.” Somehow I can’t imagine male politicians doing that.

But you have to give them some credit. Men do make the world go around. Without them, what would we have? A world based on humanity and love instead of greed and posturing? A world where people talk, and actually listen to each other? Imagine.

There is one glimmer of hope out there. I recently attended a Liberal conference and listened to a female Senator talk about women in politics.

It was good. At the end of it, I picked up a Justin Trudeau button and put it on my lapel. He is such a cutie. And he cares. Just like his dad.

I remember the days of Pierre Elliott Trudeau. He was a cutie too in his day. And he snagged Margaret and had three lovely boys and one of them is now following in his footsteps.

Pierre didn’t care about the bureaucracy. He talked to the people first.

He made sure things were going right with them. He never refused to talk to reporters, in fact he always had more to say than they bargained for.

Fuddle duddle!

If I were to rule the world, I would make it a law that all countries treated women with respect. No more putting them down. Equality everywhere.

If women ruled the planet, there would be no more suffering. The world would be a greener place, no smoke spewing out to kill the atmosphere, no more hunger or pain, just sharing and caring.

I can dream can’t I? Spring is coming!

“Simply cook and enjoy” sums up success

By Bill Freeman

News – Hastings – The growth and popularity of community kitchens in this area is summed up in this year’s Nutrition Month theme of “Simply cook and enjoy.”

“Nutrition Month is about getting back to basics and cooking from scratch and using fresh ingredients and getting away from the idea of just picking up processed foods,” says Pat Stuckless, a public health food worker with the Hali-

burton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit.

Stuckless has been instrumental in bringing community kitchen programs to Trent Hills, specifically Campbellford and Hastings, as well as Brighton. There are now six active “collective kitchens” from Brighton to Hastings.

“People really enjoy coming out; a lot of it is the social aspect,” Stuckless told The Independent.

“It’s getting together with other

folks, cooking together and learning skills from each other.”

That is the core of the Nutrition Month message, she notes.

The month-long Dietitians of Canada campaign is “dedicated to serving up practical advice on cooking and food skills.”

“There is a growing concern about a potential loss of home cooking and loss of cooking skills among Canadians of all ages,” the association says.

One of their “greatest concerns”is the “lack of transference of cooking skills to the next generation. If adults aren’t cooking how are they going to pass on these critical life skills?”

So Nutrition Month is designed to “inspire Canadians to get back to cooking basics” and to involve children and youth as much as possible.

With the “faster pace of life people don’t seem to have as much time as they used to,” says Stuckless, and that means they’re more likely to eat processed foods which are rich in salt, fat and sugars rather than preparing from scratch.

“Younger people aren’t learning those skills (and) not learning them at schools any more. If we have an opportunity to work with kids in the community to teach them cooking

skills we are doing just that.”

“I think it comes right from the beginning when they learn where food comes from, the history of food in Canada, and maybe to learn how to grow some food,” Stuckless says.

“Once you get kids into the kitchen they get excited about what they can do and then they take it back to their families. That’s a step in a positive direction because maybe parents will be encouraged to do more of that hands-on cooking and teach the skills they have.”

Stuckless has seen that blossom in Warkworth where Percy Centennial grade seven and eight students were involved in the Abundance project and now prepare food for the school’s breakfast program.

“Youth are receptive. They do

get excited.”

An interest in healthier living can also lead to greater interest in fresh food, says Stuckless. Teaching people how to read nutrition labels will lead them away from processed foods.

“One of the things about cooking from scratch is you can control how much salt you use, how much fat, what kind of fat.”

Community kitchens have all of that and more.

“Every time I come I learn something new from someone else about food and how to cook it,” she said. “We encourage families as much as possible to sit down and eat real meals together and have that social time and have it around their food.”

Magic world of rhyme comes to life at Early Years Centre

By Bill Freeman

News – Hastings – “You don’t have to have a singer’s voice, your voice is magic to your child,” says Angie Nestoruk of the Ontario Early Years Centre in Hastings where she is leading another popular session of the acclaimed Parent-Child Mother Goose Program where the powerful world of rhymes, oral storytelling and song come to life in empowering fashion.

Nestoruk has taken the Parent-Child Mother Goose training and sees first-hand how timeless and powerful the verbal arts like singing nursery rhymes with children, parents and caregivers can be.

Rhymes can solidify the bond between parent and child and through the program Nestoruk is able to provide home strategies for parents and caregivers.

Children grasp the power

of rhymes and music before they are able to communicate completely with their parents, says Nestoruk, so they become significant building blocks to communication skills.

“Everything is verbal” in the program, she says.

While the children are delighted by the participatory nature of the program, Nestoruk says it is especially valuable for the parents and caregivers.

“They take it home with them and they have it in themselves to share with their kids.”

Nestoruk says the rhymes can also be used during “transition periods” such as changing diapers and dressing. She recalls helping out at a car seat clinic and using a Mother Goose rhyme to calm down a restless toddler.

“Music has a soothing effect on babies and toddlers.”

The program is “neat for parents because we bring up

songs they used to know (when they were very young)” remembering them being sung or spoken to them by parents and grandparents.

Nestoruk encourages parents to make use of local libraries and book sales to pick up nursery rhyme collections and good reading-aloud-stories. She also says they shouldn’t be shy about making up their own rhymes; nor should they be shy when it comes to singing.

“You don’t have to have a singer’s voice, your voice is magic to your child,” she says.

During the program at the Early Years Centre Nestoruk begins with a “start-up song then segues to an “upper body to face rhyme.

She is also a believer in making up your own rhymes as one of her favourite writers-poets, Dennis Lee, makes clear in his book famous collection Alligator Pie. “I find that it doesn’t have to be in a The Parent-Child Mother Goose program offered at the Ontario Early Years Centre in Hastings is popular with parents, caregivbook; it’s about the imagination.” ers and their children.

THE STUDY: Northumberland County has retained IBI Group to complete the Trent River Crossing and Arterial Road Network Municipal Class Environmental Assessment in the Municipality of Trent Hills. In 2009, the County presented a Draft Environmental Assessment for an Additional Trent River Crossing that recommended construction of a new bridge across the Trent River between Second Street and Alma Street. It was put on hold in response to community concerns, and until additional engineering work could be conducted on alternatives. This work has now been completed, and concludes that replacing the existing Campbellford Bridge is also a feasible alternative to meet Campbellford’s future transportation needs.

THE EVALUATION: Now there are two finalist alternatives for the Trent River crossing at Campbellford to serve long term needs; 1) the 1Bridge Alternative to twin/replace the existing Bridge Street bridge ultimately with a new wider structure at this location), or 2) the 2-Bridge Alternative to construct a new bridge between Second St. and Alma St, and then replace the existing two lane Bridge Street bridge in the future when required. These two finalist river crossing alternatives have been evaluated using 22 criteria representing Transportation, Social Environment, Cultural Environment, Natural Environment, Economic Environment and Cost. The study consultants have concluded that the 2-Bridge Alternative is the preferred plan to meet the County’s long term transportation, community growth and economic development needs. Reasons for this conclusion will be presented at the following Public Information Centre: DATE: TIME: PLACE:

World Day of Prayer “connects us with everyone,” Lutheran minister says

By Bill Freeman

on

FOCUS

News – Hastings – “It connects us with everyone who is observing on this day,” says Reverend Beth Wagschal of the World Day of Prayer service she celebrated at St. George’s Anglican Church in Hastings where she was the guest speaker.

“It is a real opportunity for Christians, women, anybody to pray together,” Rev. Wagschal, a “semi-retired” Lutheran Minister living in Warkworth told The Independent as celebrants gathered for a service written by the Christian woman of Egypt with its theme the “Streams in the Desert.”

World Day of Prayer was started by women in Canada and the United States in 1922 and is observed in more than 170 countries. In Canada alone, over 2,000 communities held services seeking inspiration from the eloquent words from Egypt.

“The early history of Christianity in Egypt is remarkable,” the writers noted.

“It was St. Mark who organized the first Egyptian church and established the first

FARMING On the Farm Safety Machinery There are many different forms of machinery on a farm to help keep it working efficiently. These items can pose serious safety risks. Although tractors are the type of farm equipment that causes the most injuries, some adults still think it is safe to allow children to ride along.

Injuries that may result from farm machinery include pinching of clothing or parts of the body, where a person may become trapped in the gears or components of equipment; cuts from equipment that shears crops; bruising or cuts from projectiles thrown by mowers or other field equipment; and crushing or trapping injuries from machinery that falls or tips over.

Safety should always be a priority on farm.

theological school from which many of the great Christian thinkers graduated.”

Egypt hosted “crucially important” Christian Councils during the early centuries and sent missionaries abroad.

This years’ service evoked that early church history but also provided a sharp reminder that Egypt is “experiencing rapid shifts.”

“Long history is proving to be both a source of wisdom and a substantial impediment to using that wisdom,” the writer’s said.

Women in Egypt were active in the protests of 2011 and “continue to strive for equality” yet the rise in sexual assaults, especially those during the protests, indicate there are men who do not want women to speak out.

“As Egyptian politicians consider ancient traditions like female genital mutilation, child brides, the voice of women is urgently needed but they constitute a tiny percentage of the Egyptian cabinet.”

“We pray that peace and security will return in equal measure to both our sisters and our brothers in Egypt.

May they shape their future with the compassion and justice Jesus taught and be nourished by living water in the desert.”

“One of the big ecumenical things is to be able to pray together,” said Rev. Wagschal.

“We may not agree on other

things but prayer together works.”

Rev. Wagschal spoke of the Streams in the Desert theme in spiritual, human and environmental terms. The Nile is the second longest river in the world and flows through the world’s largest desert; it nourishes the land around it and the people who gather near its shores.

Rev. Wagschal talked about the “streams of living water that God has given us.

“The stream is flowing up within us; we have it, maybe we kind of bury it, maybe we don’t use it but it’s there and it’s meant to go out to the world.”

Rev. Wagschal now leads retreats and provides “spiritual coaching.”

“I feel that my career has kind of blossomed more now than when I was in the parish.

I’m able to do some different things. I can go here and there and be more effective, I’d say.”

Before she became a minister Rev. Wagschal was a psychiatric nurse.

“I found that people had a number of spiritual issues but we weren’t allowed to approach them from anything other than a psychiatric perspective. I felt called to approach people and help them with their spiritual side; that’s when I decided to go to the seminary and it evolved from there.”

WBA delays debut of Silly Second Sundays until 2015

By John Campbell

News – Warkworth – The silly season will have to wait another year.

The Warkworth Business Association had intended to launch Silly Second Sundays in June but second thoughts have led the organization to postpone its debut until 2015.

“We want it to have real impact,” WBA chair Kim MacNeil said, but “we were a bit aggressive in thinking we could get everything done (by June) ...

It was just going to be too much work.”

The plan remains to have several events, “some really fun stuff,” including live entertainment and special art, take place throughout the village every second Sunday in June through August to attract visitors, MacNeil said. Research has shown that “it is significant events that bring people to Warkworth,” and one of the key points in the association’s strategic plan is “to develop another event” to help local businesses prosper.

A committee was formed to organize Silly Second Sundays and was given seed money to help with its preparations.

“It is such an exciting event and there’s so much we want to accomplish with it, we needed the extra year,” MacNeil said.

She has chaired the WBA

before and agreed to do it again when no one stepped forward to replace outgoing chair Neil Graham.

It’s a situation that has caused some concern. According to the minutes of the association’s January meeting, the “difficulty in finding people to stand for leadership positions should they become directors threatens the ongoing viability of the WBA as it currently stands.”

“We did have a struggle getting a slate,” MacNeil admitted.

“People running businesses are very, very busy and can’t always be part of an executive group, and we don’t have a whole lot of businesses to draw from.”

But “it’s not just the WBA, everybody is having trouble (recruiting helpers),” she said.

“There’s only so many people to go around and some people are retiring from the volunteer work.”

MacNeil expressed confidence the organization will regain the vigour it had when it energized the village’s longterm revitalization plan that comes to an end this year with the third and final phase, the lighting of the bridges.

“We’re proud of what it looks like and all the work that’s gone into it,” she said. “This is a place where, despite the challenges, we’re able to get things done.”

Carnival fun and games also had a lesson egy there is,” she said. “The little kids connect with the big kids so if they ever have an issue or problem or concern they know who to go to, and they’re not afraid of them. They see somebody who can help.”

Hodson said bullies don’t have “the skills to get what it is they need or want, so they use an inappropriate strategy. So if we teach them communication and connections they no longer need to use their bullying strategies to get what they want.”

Grade 8 students led the activities and Grade 7 students served as team captains or leaders.

By John Campbell

News – Campbellford – Hillcrest Public School students “really did have a blast” at their winter carnival last week but the fun and games were more than just having a good time, says principal Connie Hodson.

They “loved being part” of the 20 teams made up of students drawn from each classroom, and helping each other.

“They were excited, (and so were) the teachers,” Hodson said.

The activities were about “making a community” which is “the best anti-bullying strat-

Roddy led the initiative and made the presentation during the Legion meeting and admits that he has “dropped the ball” a bit on the project.

“This was supposed to be a group initiative (but) this group is very, very small. I don’t know if I should go back and say we are no longer willing to take that project on or if there are other groups in town that want to take the project on,” he said.

of hoping to get the businesses together to see what they want to do.”

Roddy added that he is “looking for guidance” on what direction to take.

In his preparatory work Roddy says he had talked to Trent-Severn Waterway officials about a possible raceway clean-up.

“They’ve got a couple of little projects that it could be co-ordinated with but that’s so down the road that it’s just talking,” he said.

“I’m not willing to take it on myself. We owe it to that group (HEG) to say yes or no.

In the original proposal the HRA suggested that the entire project could cost around $20,000 but could probably be completed for $15,000.

“The most expensive part would be the removal of the old brush and trees,” said Roddy.

The notion of cleaning up the raceway has been muchdiscussed over the years but has been complicated about property ownership.

“You’re dealing with Hydro property and eased ownership.

It’s just one of those projects that’s very hard to get going,” said Roddy.

There is no “time frame” to use the money, he added. “We can just sit on it.”

“The original plan was to clean up some of the dead shrubbery along the shoreline and plant some low-hanging trees,” HRA past chair Steve Roddy explained during the group’s last meeting. There would also be a garbage clean-

News – Hastings – Lack of manpower might force the Hastings Revitalization Association to return the $10,000 it received from the Hastings Environmental Group for a proposed clean-up project along the raceway.

The money comes from the $25,000 Ultimate Fishing Town grand prize Hastings won from the World Fishing Network in 2012. The Hastings Environmental Group (HEG) oversees the prize fund and held a competition inviting groups and individuals to submit proposals that would benefit the environment or help promote Hastings reputation as a fishing destination.

Six projects vied for funds from the World Fishing Network prize and during a wellattended open meeting at the Hastings Legion the general public listened to submissions and voted on their preferences. Those votes were tallied together with the points that an independent panel had awarded each project.

Four bids were successful.

The HEG remains the “guiding body” for the projects.

The HRA pitched the raceway cleanup project to enhance “aesthetics” and “improve water for fish and wildlife habi-

Great Big Crunch echoes through HBPS gym

By Bill Freeman

News – Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – The Great Big Crunch echoed off the walls of the Havelock Belmont Public School gym last week. Students from junior kindergarten to grade eight and staff members sunk their teeth into healthy chunks of apples and carrots during the annual Great Big Crunch celebration of homegrown Ontario produce and healthy eating.

Organized locally by Food For Kids Peterborough and County, the Great Big Crunch is a national event initiated by FoodShare Toronto to raise awareness

about health eating and local and global food systems.

“It’s all to promote Ontario produce and healthy eating and this is just a fun way to be all here and bite a piece of apple or a carrot,” said Miz Watson, a key member of the volunteer HBPS breakfast program.

This year’s Great Big Crunch was also tied in with the HBPS talent show and took place during a five minute break from the entertainment.

“This year you got the sound (of the crunch),” said Watson. “I had no one refuse today.”

Watson hopes an event

like the Great Big Crunch gets people thinking about local produce when they visit the grocery store or market.

She notes that this area is very close to the heart of Ontario apple country and still it is often difficult to find Ontario grown and picked apples in local grocery stores.

The produce Watson and her volunteers serve with the breakfast and snack program is local.

“The Great Big Crunch is a fun way to bring staff and students together to make a noise for health eating and local food systems,” says Chris McCarthy, the coordinator of Food For Kids Peterborough and County student nutrition program. “This way is a great way to kick off March as nutrition month and provide students and teachers the opportunity to connect nutrition to learn-

ing.”

Food For Kids Peterborough and County is a non-profit community partnership which supports student nutrition programs in 47 elementary and secondary schools throughout the county and city. Student nutrition programs in the county and city receive funding from the Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services, Breakfast Clubs for of Canada and Breakfast for Learning through their charitable partner the Peterborough Family Resource Centre.

Over 180 local community partners donated food, funding, supplies, space and volunteer time to support Food For Kids programs. The programs are run entirely by volunteers who offer healthy food choices in an “inviting, inclusive and welcoming environment.”

TOWNSHIP OF HAVELOCK-BELMONT-METHUEN

SUMMER STUDENT EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT: SUMMER STUDENT The Township is seeking a Public Works Summer Student who will report to the Director of Public Works. The successful applicant will be able to work well with others and at times work with minimal supervision. A valid Ontario “G” licence is required. Duties include road, sewer and water maintenance as well as other maintenance duties as required.

Working hours are Monday to Friday.

LIBRARY ASSISTANT: SUMMER STUDENT The Township is seeking a Library Assistant Summer Student who is preferably enrolled in an Early Childhood Education or Educational related college/university program. The successful individual will have completed Grade 12 and be returning to school. This position will be required to assist in carrying out the day to day activities at the 3 Library Branches (Havelock, Cordova, and Kasshabog Lake). This will include preparing a story and craft time for children between the ages of 3 – 10 years of age at the Havelock and Cordova Library Branches, and assisting the public with the operations of computers for internet access as well as carrying out any special projects that may be assigned by the Librarian.

The period of employment will be from early June until the end of August, 2014 with a 35 hour work week. Working hours are Tuesday to Saturday.

rector of planning Jim Peters said he had received two “serious inquiries” regarding the establishment of such facilities on land zoned rural on the 7th Line north of Campbellford and on highway commercial property in the village of Warkworth.

“Information from one of the proponents indicated that a substantial investment is required for heating and other systems,” he stated. “They indicated the facility would be approximately 10,000 square feet in size and employ 10 to 12 persons.”

Peters told council March 4 he had received a third inquiry since writing the report, which stated medical marijuana can be grown in a building designed or renovated for the growing of plants, such as a commercial greenhouse, where flowers, fruits, vegetables, trees and similar vegetation can be grown.

In his opinion a medical marijuana facility fits this definition and that such use is permitted in five zones.

Peters said he wrote the report to make council aware of the proposals.

Health Canada on its website said Canadians who have the support of their physicians have had access to marijuana for medical purposes since 2001.

“In response to concerns from stakeholders that this system was open to abuse,” the federal government, “after extensive consultations,” introduced regulations last year that aim to treat marijuana “as much as possible like any other narcotic used for medical purposes by creating conditions for a new, commercial industry that is responsible for its production and distribution.”

The production of marijuana for medical purposes in private residences is to end March 31, after which the only

The Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen is seeking a Waste Site Assistant at its 6th Line Transfer Station. The position will be under the direction of the Waste Site Operator. Duties will include assisting persons at the waste disposal site by directing them to the appropriate recycling and waste bins and completing general clean up around the site.

The successful candidate will be skilled in the following: • Proven ability to deal with people, ensuring polite and tactful relations • Knowledge of requirements under the Occupational Health and Safety Act • Demonstrated working knowledge of materials to be recycled • Basic knowledge of hazardous waste • Be able to work weekends and statutory holidays Working hours are Friday to Tuesday.

The period of employment for all public works summer student positions will be from early May until the end of August, 2014 with a 40 hour work week.

poses Regulations, including for physical security.

“I don’t know that it will create more work for us, (but) there are some public safety concerns,” Northumberland OPP detachment commander Inspector Doug Borton said Monday.

The new regulatory environment offers “the potential” for a licensed producer to “over-produce crops” and then engage in trafficking.

If that were to happen and police got involved, they would “deal with it in the proper manner,” but officers have expressed concerns about being exposed to health and fire hazards, where marijuana is grown in a residence and there’s mold and chemicals present, and extensive lighting system in use.

Another issue are the “security risks” associated with licensed sites, which could be “targeted for thefts,” Borton said.

Peters in his report said licensed production must take place inside a building where conditions are controlled “in terms of light, water, temperature, humidity and nutrients ... Construction or renovation of a building would be subject to the Building Code.”

means to access the drug will be through commercial, licensed producers.

The licensed producers must notify the local government, police force and fire department their intention to apply to Health Canada, “so that local authorities are aware of their proposed location and activities.”

Municipalities can’t stop the licensing process “if they disagree with the proposed site of production or any other requirement” but they “can communicate any concerns” they have directly to the production site owner and enforce local legislation and bylaws.

Health Canada said it will not provide a municipality with a list of production sites that are licensed under the new Medical Marijuana Access regulations as the information is protected under the Privacy Act. Such facilities are not to be operated as a storefront but must ship their dried product directly to clients or their physicians.

Asphodel-Norwood – The ever-expanding Norwood Legion Festival of the Arts opens this Saturday (March 15) with an art show and sale courtesy of the highly-regarded Kawartha Artists Gallery and Studio.

The festival continues next Saturday with an open stage show for local performers and then returns again in July when the Legion unveils it’s first-ever venture in original live theatre.

This is marks the fifth annual art exhibition in partnership with Branch 300 but the

second to be held in March after a decision by chief organizer Rob Howat to move the show away from the heart of the summer when audiences dwindled.

The Saturday show also includes a children’s story and craft hour as well as workshops on art technique and harmonica playing.

“Most of the work (for) the event is volunteer-based but we are applying for funding to get it to the next level,” says Howat.

Symtoms: The early warning

signs of Alzheimer’s disease neurons gradually begin to lose their efficiency and ability to function and communicate with one another. As more neurons die, entire areas of the brain shrink. The hippocampus, which is the area of the brain essential in forming memories, may soon become compromised.

Millions of people in North America are estimated to have Alzheimer’s disease and many others will be diagnosed. The following are the most common early signs and symptoms of the disease. • Memory loss: According to the Alzheimer’s Organization, early memory loss can include forgetting important dates or repeatedly asking for the same information. Forgetting recently learned information and having to rely increasingly on memory aids is another potential indicator of Alzheimer’s. • Declining cognition: Impaired reasoning or judgment, trouble finding the right words and visual and spatial

issues also may be early indicators of Alzheimer’s. • Difficulty completing familiar tasks: Those with Alzheimer’s sometimes have trouble driving to a familiar location or remembering the rules to a favorite game. People who were once good with numbers may now have difficulty balancing their checkbooks, while those who love to cook may have trouble following recipes. • Time confusion: Another indicator of Alzheimer’s disease is losing track of time. One may have trouble understanding something that isn’t happening in the present. Alzheimer’s sufferers often forget where they are and how they got there. • Misplacing items: Everyone loses something at a point in time, but those with Alzheimer’s may put items in unusual places. They may sometimes accuse others of stealing when they cannot retrace their steps and find items. • Decreased judgment: Decision-mak-

Alzheimer’s doubles about every five years after age 65, says the Alzheimer’s Organization. In addition, those with a parent, child or sibling who have developed Alzheimer’s are more likely to develop the disease than people with no such family history.

A physical and neurological exam, which may include blood tests and brain imaging, will be used to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. Individuals can learn more by making appointments with their doctors.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. It is a progressive, degenerative disorder that attacks neurons and essentially robs people of their memory and language skills. Although there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, there are therapies that can slow its neurological impact.

Recognizing the early warning signs of Alzheimer’s can encourage people to begin treatments that can stave off some of the more debilitating symptoms of this disease.

Though it’s most common among the elderly, Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging. The Mayo Clinic says that the reasons behind the inception and progression of Alzheimer’s disease are largely unknown. It is believed damage starts a decade or more before problems become evident. Abnormal deposits of proteins begin to form the amyloid plaques and tau tangles throughout the brain, and these formations are the hallmarks of the disease. Once-healthy

right thing to do, Howat said during last year’s show.

Fourteen artists were involved in last year’s exhibition. “I don’t think people in the area realize we have a hub of the arts here to join and support,� says Howat. “Hopefully by the exhibition and others like it we’ll get more

and more people coming and supporting us and it will grow. Our goals is to expand and who knows what might come later.�

New this year is the comedy Soulmates by Branch 300 member Lloyd Gaskin which will run July 24 through July 26 with a dinner production slated for July 25.

“The reality of the situation,� he argues, “is that if three facilities are built it result in the reduction of rentals at all rural arenas and may result in the closing of some.�

If two new surfaces are built and the city replaces Northcrest Arena near Trent University there will be enough overflow for just one rural arena, says Millett.

Chief proposes adding assistant

Asphodel-Norwood mayor Doug Pearcy told council he received an email from Brian Millett manager of recreation facilities for Douro-Dummer outlining some of those concerns.

Mayor Pearcy told Millett “we’d like to be kept abreast (of Peterborough’s arena plans). “It could affect us, we do have rentals from Peterborough,� Pearcy said of the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre which has been well-used by Peterborough hockey groups over the years. “It does affect us,� councillor Roy Millett added. “If they get a tri-pad there’ll be nothing down here.� “I don’t think we can sway Peterborough’s decision,� Millett admitted.

Pearcy said he has talked to a few decision-makers in the city about their arena dilemma. “I hope I am making my thoughts clear to them that they need to build a new Memorial Centre, something state-of-the-art like Kingston, Ottawa or London. If you don’t want to do that then get out of the business (of OHL hockey).�

In a letter to county municipalities Douro-Dummer’s Millett says its “essential that as rural communities our voice be heard during the process as it will have a profound impact on our communities and facilities.�

Historical Society continues to look for permanent home for collection

By Bill Freeman

News – Hastings – The Hastings Historical Society is still looking for a permanent home for its collection following a forced move from its long-time quarters in the former school building on Victoria Street. The building is owned and operated by the Hastings Housing Corporation which asked the Historical Society to vacate the premises late last year, along with its collection of documents, memorabilia and artifacts, because of liability concerns.

Thanks to hasty work by the municipality of Trent Hills the collection is now temporarily housed in a dressing room at the Hastings Memorial Arena as well as some local residences.

“A large percentage of the Society’s possessions are in the arena and we haven’t seen them since we took them down,” says HHS executive Jim Coveney.

The HHS is grateful to the municipality for the use of the arena but Coveney says the arrangement is “a little inconvenient” because if they wish to access the collection they have to call Campbellford to have someone open the arena.

“When we need to get in there you just can’t get in and it’s not exactly really organized all that much,” Coveney told The Independent during the Society’s meeting last week. “It was a very difficult move and we didn’t have time to organize it; it’s a stack of boxes around the room.”

Protect Your Keys With War Amps Key Tags

Coveney has been asking members if they’d help sift through the collection and put it in better stead while it remains in the arena.

“There’s a need for organization, that’s why I’ve been asking around the room. We need to get some people together to spend some time organizing it.”

That task will wait until summer because it is too cold in the unheated arena.

“It’s not conducive to working, this winter especially, so it will be a while.”

“We do have some of this stuff in several houses,” Coveney noted. “It would be nice to have a better home for it (to) get them under one roof. We really need to have some communications with Trent Hills; there has been no communications or discussions yet.”

“To operate a building is fairly difficult,” he admitted. “The CampbellfordSeymour Heritage Society has more than they can handle in their own facilities.”

Both Campbellford and the now in-

active Warkworth Historical Society buildings’ are owned and paid for by Trent Hills, says Coveney.

“In Hastings none of the expenses were ever paid by Trent Hills, to my knowledge. It was the courtesy of the Hastings Housing Corporation that allowed us to use the building and paid for the heat.

All of the Society’s other expenses were paid for out of fundraising activities, he said.

“So we’re in a very awkward financing situation because it was awkward from the word go and it’s gotten worse.”

The HHS is pleased Trent Hills “stepped in.”

“We don’t have buildings in Hastings that are readily available,” Coveney said. “There was no other space available and they helped us move stuff in. It was a monumental task in a very short period of time. Trent Hills staff were really good to us.”

The move has effectively stalled the

Time to re-define Hastings Revitalization Association: executive

News – Hastings – Faced with dwindling attendance, the Hastings Revitalization Association executive says it’s time to redefine its mission.

“We don’t want to shut it down but we have to decide where we want to go,” chair Camille Edwards said during its most recent meeting, the first of 2014 which drew an audience

of three plus the three-member HRA executive.

“Does this group continue to meet? We’re down to four meetings a year now,” past chair Steve Roddy wondered.

“Do we become a group that doesn’t meet anymore?

Originally, the group met monthly but Edwards said the executive wondered “why are we coming out every month for five people in the audience?”

They scaled back their meeting schedule to quarterly gatherings (February, April, July and October) but the soul-searching continues on how the organization can re-invent itself through an achievable set of objectives.

“We have talked about this and said we’d still like to keep the HRA going and we may hold one meeting a year,” said Edwards, a member since 2005.

The HRA will keep its bank account active and receive funds from events like the successful Tony Edwards 5 K Challenge. It also receives some revenue from a “self-sustaining” website it operates through a partnership with Rural Routes.

“We will still use the money going into that account,” said Edwards. “Maybe if a project comes up that we can get our teeth behind we could call a meeting and see if we can people involved in it.”

One of the problems was that HRA meetings had become a “venue to complain about council etc.,” she said. “This is not the venue.

We would explain that this is not the (forum) and they would not come back.”

“I have to thank the HRA and all the people who have worked on it for all the money we have raised. Every single penny we raised went right back into Hastings, nowhere else but into making

Hastings better.”

“It’s time to re-define your objectives. What is it about now? Not what it was about six or seven years ago,” audience member Jim Scott agreed.

Scott said the group should come up with a list of goals and “identify what is achievable and what is not achievable with the people involved and if comes down to a group that just addresses these projects, so be it. You’ve got to reidentify your mission. Write a mission statement that is germane to 2014.”

“The HRA had its day (and) was very, very effective,” he added.

“I come here for a purpose and (not to listen to people) venting,” Roddy said.

Roddy acknowledged that the municipality’s Downtown Improvement and Waterfront Committee has taken away some of the bigger capital projects the HRA was involved in but things like decorating the gazebo or installing planters around town are projects the HRA should still spearhead.

It’s also important that council continues to support the HRA, he said.

“We can’t do much unless we have the support of someone on council.”

“That’s a very important ingredient,” Scott said.

“You have got to have that conduit to council; you’ve got to have a lot of communication and not just passing along reports.”

“This committee has been a conduit to the municipality and the same way back,” Edwards noted. “They have been behind us in everything we have done.”

Sports – Asphodel-Norwood – The Norwood Curling Club’s flourishing after-school youth program wrapped up another dynamic season with their awards party last week.

“It was a very good season,” says coach and instructor Sherry Wilson.

Thirty-five curlers from grades three to eight participated this year and Wilson says for the first time she had to reluctantly turn people away because the program was entirely booked up.

“It is expanding beyond what I even could have imagined it could be,” she said. “The sport is really catching on and I am proud of the kids.”

“They’re so interested in the sport that they’re even buying their own equipment which the club has always provided with the help of the schools.”

Wilson has taken her love of curling one step further teaching the rudiments of the sport to students at both Norwood District Public School and St. Paul Catholic Elementary School. She also helped with the fledgling varsity program at Norwood District High; the Knights’ rink was the youngest to take part in the Kawartha bonspiel with two grade nine students and one each in grade ten and 11.

“They did better than I ever expected,” said Wilson.

With the novice program she has been “planting the seeds of the sport” and is watching it blossom at the high school varsity level.

“That’s what I anticipated. I started when my son was in grade four and now he’s in grade nine and skipped the NDHS rink.”

There is a “bunch of grade eights” in the novice program and Wilson hopes they continue with the sport in high school and at the club level; she has no doubt that they will do well.

“I would put any of these kids up against the adults; they could hold their own,” she said.

Wilson’s mother Sharon Scott founded the after-school youth program at the club and led it for over 20 years so an appreciation for the sport runs deep in her family. Now, a second generation of young curlers are developing a love for the sport.

“It’s beyond my dreams that this ever happened. I carried on from my mom and now I’m doing it for my own kids and to introduce the sport to others. It’s a great program.”

“I do it for the love of the sport. It’s all volunteer; the payback is in the kid’s smiles. It’s an immense pleasure.”

With her daughter nearing the end of her novice eligibility Wilson is faced

with the decision of whether she will stay on as instructor.

“I hope someone will pick it up and carry on.”

Next year’s registration will take place in November with play starting in January.

Percy Bulldogs take C championship in Atom division at the 4th annual Maplefest Tournament

By Sue Dickens

Sports – Warkworth – The Percy Bulldogs put up a good fight taking their players in Atom and Bantam divisions to the max competing at the 4th annual Maplefest Tournament that offered one night and two days of nonstop hockey.

In the Atom division Percy Bulldogs played against a team from Peterborough to win the C championship.

Michael Burgess of the Percy

Bulldogs was chosen Most Valuable Player.

“We had six teams in that division,” commented Tracy Russell, the tournament director.

The tournament is hosted by the Percy Minor Hockey Association and always attracts many teams from the area and beyond.

The Atom division saw the Cayuga #1 team take the A championship while a Clarington team won the B championship.

In the Bantam (body check-

ing) division, the Percy Bulldogs played in the A final last Sunday but lost to a Thornton team, putting them in second best spot in a field of four.

Brady Surerus of the Percy Bulldogs was chosen Most Valuable Player.

The B championship in the Bantam division (body checking) went to Colborne.

Josh Rath of Colborne was chosen the Most Valuable Player.

Last year Colborne took the Bantam A championship on the ice with two Warkworth hockey players, with a 2-1 win over Lefroy.

They seem to be the teams to beat.

In the Peewee division, Cayuga #2 team took the A championship, Oshawa were B champs and Napanee were C champs.

In the Bantam (no body checking) division it was Oshawa over Kingston for the A championship in a very close game of 1 to 0.

“This year we had a total of 21 teams, three divisions and 37 games played over the

three days, in both Campbellford and Warkworth arenas,” said Russell, who noted that compared to last year which had overtime ties and multiple shootouts, thus tear’s tournament saw none of that happen.

“I think everyone was quite happy with this year’s tournament and the feedback we received was that it was well organized,” she added.

“We’re already looking forward to next year’s competition.”

Midget Hornets back in OMHA final

The Norwood J.J. Stewart midget A Hornets are in their first OMHA championship final since 2010 after defeating the South Bruce Otters three games to two. They clinched the series with a 3-1 home win Sunday afternoon and will play the Port Dover Pirates in the OMHA “C” final. Photo: Bill Freeman

Sports – Asphodel-Norwood – It took five games but the Norwood J.J. Stewart Midget A’s are in the Ontario Minor Hockey Association “C” finals with a championship battle against the Port Dover Pirates for the Dr. Roger W. Matchett Trophy next on tap.

It’s the first OMHA championship appearance for the Midget Hornets since 2010 when they capped a string of three straight

“DD” titles with a win over Teeswater, now the South Bruce Otters, the team they beat 3-1 Sunday afternoon to earn a berth in the “C” final.

Norwood was forced to play game five after falling 5-4 in a nail-biter at the Teeswater Community Centre. With a loud and proud home crowd on hand at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre the Hornets finished off the series with a 3-1 win.

Winter Games silver for Jenna

By Bill Freeman

Sports – Havelock- Jenna Baptie has every right to smile when she looks at her Ontario Winter Games silver badminton medal because it was part of a history making effort by the Central Ontario Badminton Association (COBA).

Jenna was member of the 12-player COBA team that competed at the 2014 Games in the Muskokas (badminton was played in Bracebridge) and was nudged out for gold by the Ottawa and District Badminton Association (ODBA). The podium finish was the first for COBA in 25 years and the silver was their highest ranking ever.

“It was very exciting to be in the medals,” said Jenna, a grade 12 student at Norwood District High. She competed in the mixed doubles for the COBA team and was joined by fellow NDHS badminton Knight Dan Widdis who was a spare.

“The level of play was just amazing. I couldn’t imagine playing against better people.

It was a great view of what you’re going to see at OFSAA,” the Havelock native said.

Heading into her final high school season, Jenna has her sights set sights on a third straight trip to the provincial (OFSAA) tourney with mixed doubles partner Dan Widdis.

It would be Dan’s first trip to the big badminton show.

The Winter Games tourney was “definitely a good eyeopener for OFSAA,” she said.

“I knew most of the Toronto

team because I’ve played against them in club competitions but there were some names I didn’t know and faces I learned pretty quickly.”

It was a challenging competition because Jenna played with different partners almost every time out on the court so there was little opportunity to prepare.

“It’s different getting into a comfort level. I was fortunate to play a few games in a row with the same person but it’s difficult when you’re trying to get into a groove. But all the players were great.”

She says the experience helped her “learn more about playing the bird better at the net and just keeping it in play.”

Jenna started her career as a doubles player reaching OFSAA with Knights teammate Alana Reed then made the transition to mixed play smoothly winning gold at the Central Ontario (COSSA) finals last year with Jordan Burtt and travelling to OFSAA in Chatham.

“That was a great experience,” she said of the mixed doubles competition at OFSAA. “I don’t think I’m at the level yet where I could go anywhere with singles. I’d rather play as a team.”

Jenna has been accepted

by Georgian College which has a strong badminton program that includes OCAA mixed doubles silver medalists Maggie Tremblay and Trevor Neville.

“I’m pretty sure that’s where I’ll be this fall.”

handed goals and a powerplay marker in a 5-2 win.

The midget Hornets have won five OMHA titles since 1987 when they knocked off

in 1998 when they reached the final and lost to Thedford, now the Lambton Shores Predators.

In 2008 the midgets won the first of three straight “DD” titles defeating East Lambton whom they beat again in 2009. Their final title in 2010 was over Teeswater, now morphed into the South Bruce Otters.

Campbellford Colts advance

Sports – Campbellford – It’s on to the OMHA ‘CC’ championship final for the midget Campbellford Colts.

They advanced by winning 4-3 at home March 6 and 3-1 on the road March 7 after splitting the first two games in the best-of-five semi-final with Wasaga Beach.

Stew Battman, Blaine Thompson, Jacob Trotter and Cameron Wade score in Precision Wood Products’ narrow victory last Thursday. Battman also earned two assists as did Matt Forestell.

Thompson got the winning goal in game four. Trotter scored once and assisted on Campbellford’s first goal, by Brady Cross.

The Precision Wood Products squad will play Dunnville in the final. Campbellford won the flip for home ice advantage but coach Doug Mathew was still waiting for news on the playoff schedule when contacted Sunday.

Mathew said his team “stuck to the same game plan” that had allowed it to even the series at 1-1 by nullifying Wasaga Beach’s top offensive player,

who scored four points the first game but was held to one point the rest of the way.

“That was the big key to our success – and staying out of the penalty box,” he said.

He described the series’winning match as “another ugly road victory” in which the team “weathered the storm.”

Mathew credited “a wellbalanced attack from everybody” as being key to the win, and he said Brenton McKenzie-Crowe was once again “superb” in net.

He was worried how the team would play because a few of them hadn’t been feel-

ing well the previous game but they stuck it out.

“I was really worried for the Friday night but everybody drank lots of fluids and ... they felt a lot better,” he said. “But they were drained you could tell on the way home on the bus.”

The Colts will be without centre Koel Newton to start the final as he has one more game to serve in his suspension.

“He brings a lot of offensive intensity,” Mathew said.

“We’ve missed him the last three games with that suspension. We’re excited to get him back in the lineup (for game two).”

28th Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival

By Sue Dickens

News – Warkworth – There was a steady flow of people to the 28th Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival last weekend even though the same couldn’t be said for this year’s sap harvest.

A harsh winter that began with an ice storm in December followed by a string of snowstorms and a polar vortex that dropped into Ontario, week after week, has resulted in a later-than-normal start to the season.

“I don’t know if it’s the snowfall as much as the temperatures. It’s still very cold,” said Derek vanStam, the new owner of Sandy Flat Sugar Bush, where the festival has been a tradition for the past quarter century.

“The sap run has stopped for the last couple of weeks. Minus nighttime temperatures and warm days are what is needed,” he explained.

Former sugar bush owners Alice and George Potter were there to help vanStam and his wife Angela, from Frankford as they and their three children immersed themselves in the festival and greeted hundreds of visitors.

Friends and relatives of the vanStam family were also there to help.

For Darcy Arthur, of Brighton, her husband Todd and their children Julia, 8, and Clark, 5, taking in the festival has become a tradition for their family.

“We’ve been coming here for the past eight years,” she told the Independent.

“The kids love the sleigh rides through the forest, the snow taffy and the food,” she said.

For the Warkworth Community Service Club it was again time for their annual fundraising pancake and sausage breakfast. Approximately 3,000 tickets were sold and all the money raised goes back to the community.

Hanford Dougherty, who manned the evaporator, explained the process of converting sap into syrup as people toured the sugar shack.

Simon Weight and his son Jules, 18 months, decided to get a closer look at the Belgian draft horses which pulled a sleigh through the sugar bush at the maple syrup festival. Photo: Sue Dickens

“This is my 29th season here,” he said, noting this year’s sap harvest was off to a late start.

“We had a bit of a run approximately a week or two ago . . . the right temperatures at the right time are crucial to success,” he said.

“The only fear is the later in the season it gets, once it milds up, it might stay mild and then our season will be short.”

In spite of the challenges the weather has presented the festival itself was a huge success.

“The maple syrup festival is a wonderful experience,” Angela vanStam said. “It’s really a grassroots event where people can come and bring their families and have pancakes and really celebrate spring.”

Downtown Warkworth was also

busy with The Paddling Puppeteer show, Festival Craft Show and Sale, indoor mini-golf, juried art and photography show and sale, and the Antiques Nostalgia Show and Sale. There was also a petting zoo.

Be a Natural Gardener, not a Zookeeper

News - Belleville - On March 27 in Belleville, Terry Sprague and Bea Heissler will give a fresh perspective to residents about naturalizing their properties. Bea can show us how to have a natural garden. Terry can help us keep the wildlife population in balance. You want good relations with your neighbours, but you don’t want them to move in.

This is the fifth event in the Winter Speaker Series for the Hastings Stewardship Council.

Terry Sprague, well known as a local naturalist and trail guide, will enlighten us about plants we can use to attract wildlife. The presence of wildlife makes our efforts in naturalizing our backyards complete. But, what happens when you attract too much of a good thing? Terry will explain how to manage and control backyard

TRAVEL

A visit to Delft, in the Netherlands of the Netherlands, between for its production of world-renowned Lifestyles - Delft is a rather Rotterdam and the Hague, blue and white delftware pottery. After small city in the southwest and it’s probably best known all, the Royal Dutch Delftware Factory, Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles, was established here in 1653, and it’s still going strong today. Its products are still handpainted right here on site, following centuries-old traditions.

COACH & TOURS I toured this fascinating factory with Safiya Yilmaz, of its Marketing and Communications Department, and she gave me a lot of pertinent information about both the history of the Royal Delft and the production process. I learned that the products are fired twice, for the mould is fired and painted black, and then glazed and fired again, turning it blue. I was also told that each “work of Blue Jays vs Yankees - Saturday, April 5/14 art” is coded with the factory mark, item Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox - Saturday, April 26/14 number, artist’s initials, and a date code, Toronto Premium Outlets - Saturday, April 26/14 and a certificate of authenticity is inOttawa Tulips - Tuesday, May 13/14 cluded with all orders. Therefore, these St. Jacobs - Saturday, May 24/14 products are not cheap but are “the real Berkshire Cottages - May 27-30/14 thing.”

Lancaster PA Amish Country - June 4-7/14 I witnessed the various steps of this Lion King - Wednesday, June 11/14 manufacturing process, including the Waterloo Outlets/Syracuse Shopping - June 13-15/14 preparation of the mould and the douDaniel O’Donnell - Sunday, June 15/14 ble firings, and I also watched a master Cape Cod/Martha’s Vineyard - June 16-20/14 painter at work. I learned that it took Atlantic Canada - July 1-10/14 a minimum of ten years to become a Western & Northern Ontario - July 7-10/14 master painter, and that the intricate Newfoundland Spectacular - July 17-Aug 4/14 hand-painting itself is quite an art!

are provided, but the workshop must be booked in advance <www.royaldelft. com>.

A tour of this facility will both trace the history of this pottery and offer hands-on opportunities, so it’s both a museum and an attraction. The factory’s showroom has a comprehensive collection of hand-painted Delft Blue by Royal Delft and an extensive selection of Dutch earthenware and souvenirs, so it’s a great place to not only learn, firsthand, about the product, but also is the perfect place to purchase some of the Royal Delft.

To learn even more about delftware, I’d recommend a visit to the city’s Prinsenhof Museum, for here you’ll find additional history about this pottery, and you’ll learn that, in the mid 18th century, there were more than 30 factories producing this product in Delft. However, only the one factory now remains.

I also discovered that the Prinsenhof Museum, located in an old convent, is the actual site of the assassination of William of Orange (William I) in 1584, and this museum also depicts the story of this historically important figure and national hero who’s referred to as “the founding father of the Netherlands.”

William of Orange is buried in Delft’s New Church (built between 1383 and 1510), as are all deceased members of the Royal Family. Therefore, Delft has a special bond with the Dutch Royal Family, as well as with Johannes Vermeer, the renowned painter who resided here in the 17th century and who is buried in Delft’s oldest church, Oude Kerk. His works of art are displayed in the Vermeer Centre, so this is yet another not-to-bemissed attraction in Delft. While here, I examined such Vermeer masterpieces as “The Girl with a Pearl Earring” and “Woman with a Pearl Necklace.”

While exploring Delft, I stayed in a 17th century canal house that’s now known as the Bridges House Hotel. It was conveniently located near the city centre, so it was close to the major attractions, including the two churches previously mentioned, the magnificent marketplace with its grand City Hall, and the Eastern Gate (the only remaining gate of the old city walls). Bridges House Hotel actually became a part of my “adventure trek,” for there was no elevator here, so I had to ascend the nar-

row, steep staircases to the top (third) floor with my luggage!

This proved to be a bit of a challenge, but it was an interesting place to stay (the former residence of Dutch painter Jan Steen).

With the earlier references to such “celebrities” as Jan Steen, Johannes Vermeer, and William of Orange, it’s obvious that the city of Delft has much more going for it than simply its renowned delftware factory, but any visit to this city will keep reminding you of this connection, too. For example, when I visited the Prinsenhof Museum, I noticed a beautiful blue and white delftware-style bench in its gardens, and I even found some delftware-style streetlamps in this city.

A display of plates in the Royal Dutch Delftware Factory.

Right: This shows the three main steps in the process: the mould—and after both firings.

When I had lunch at “Stads-Koffyhuis,” I was even told to check out its artistic washroom complete with its lavish blue and white delftware fixtures!

Implant vantages Ad In past articles, we discussed the negative effects of removable dental prostheses (dentures and partials). In most cases, complete and partial dentures are not the ideal Dr. Brian Ho replacement option of missing teeth because they lead to less chewing efficiency, decreased life span, limited food selection, altered tastes etc..

Fortunately, these negative effects can be avoided with the use of dental implants. Here are the advantages of implant-supported prostheses: • Maintain bone • Maintain Facial Esthetics • Improve chewing efficiency • Reduce the size of prosthesis • Improve the stability and retention of removable prosthesis • No need to alter adjacent teeth • More permanent replacement • Improve psychological health With the use of different financing options, implant supported prostheses can be a very affordable option for most patients. Contact your dentist to learn more about your dental implant options and about how you can benefit from dental implants.

Get your hiking boots ready for Hike for Hospice Quinte News – Belleville – With winter coming to a close and our minds turning to warmer weather, Hospice Quinte has announced the revival of an old fundraising event this coming May and are inviting the public to join them, on the Hike for Hospice Quinte.

“We’re doing it on a larger scale this year to attract more hikers and more donors and create more awareness,” said Hospice Quinte Community Relations & Fund Development officer Wayne Carruthers.

Taking place on May 4, Hike for Hospice Quinte is a one-day fundraising event that challenges participants to raise funds for their local hospice while enjoying the sunshine and (hopefully) great weather at West Zwick’s Park. Carruthers said that they’ve set a fundraising goal of $20,000 for the event, and said he hopes to attract at least 250 hikers and volunteers from Belleville and Quinte West. Funds raised from the event help support the general operation of Hospice Quinte and the variety of community services they offer free of charge.

“The other big reason that we’re doing this, is because it’s fun,” Carruthers said. “It’s a family event that includes everyone, no matter what your ability is to walk, or shuffle, or run - it brings everyone together for one day.”

Those participating in the event can look forward to a morning chalk-full of activities and two different distances - a 2-km leisure walk and a more taxing 5-km walk. The event will also feature a children’s

area with staples such as a bouncy castle and face painting, and those in attendance will also be treated to a barbeque after the walk is completed.

“We want it to be a family event,” Carruthers said. “It’s going to be the fun side of the work we do in the community every day that is oftentimes very difficult.”

The Regional Hospice of Quinte assists terminally ill individuals and their caregivers by offering them support and companionship in both individual and group settings. Carruthers said a new program

by Hospice Quinte called What About Me works with children aged 12 and under living in homes with terminally ill family members, to offer support (From left) Jen Webster, Alison King Horn, Amber Clarke, Kasey Pollard, Luke Fornier, Ben Van Derkooi and Helen Dowdall and teach coping mechanisms. Children are also put helped kick off Hike for Hospice Quinte last week. Photo: submitted into contact with other children of a similar age.

“They share their stories and their art and they share what they’re going through,” Carruthers said.

“It’s a common ground for them - and they wouldn’t get that anywhere else.”

Like all Hospice Quinte programs, What About Me is offered free of charge. Carruthers said the organization was the beneficiary of more than 13,000 hours of volunteer work in 2012-2013, when the organization assisted some 280 families.

“If you were to put a dollar amount on those 13,000 hours, you couldn’t,” he said.

To register online for the Hike for Hospice, visit www.chpca.net/hike, or to register in person, pick up a pledge form from the Hospice Centre at 225 Dundas Street East.

Sprouting workshop put on by raw food expert

By Kate Everson

News - Picton - In response to Quinte’s first Seedy Saturday held at Murray Centennial last week, one of the vendors is hoping more people will come to her sprouting workshop in Picton on March 15 at 29 Elizabeth Street at the Community Living Centre.

“This is a very important topic,” says Erika Wolff, health educator and nutrition coach from Milford. “I am trying to reach out to a wider audience.”

Erika says raw food is the healthy choice with many important values.

“Chronic colds and illness, overweight, trouble sleeping and lethargy are just a few of the ailments that can be eliminated or reduced with a raw food diet,” she says.

Erika feels the body is its own healer when treated properly. For years, Erika struggled with her own chronic health and digestive problems that led her to study

nutrition and discover that living foods offer the most effective solution. She acquired not only practical knowledge but intuitive wisdom about the healing powers of raw foods and even became a chef of gourmet raw food dishes.

She also is a certified Hippocrates Health Educator with additional training in nutritional symptomatology and counselling, detoxification and fasting, nutritional kinesiology, and macrobiotics. She regularly holds workshops and retreats about the living foods lifestyle.

“We need to learn to grow more sprouts,” she said with a smile.

Her workshop will help people start sprouting in their own kitchen, and grow fresh greens to eat and get healthy.

“You can plant and take home your own sprout garden,” she adds.

The class is held March 15, from 10 a.m. to noon, with a

ENTERTAINMENT

Superstar coaching for jazz students Entertainment - Prince Edward County - It’s as if Sidney Crosby and Phil Kessel came to town and spent a whole weekend teaching your kids how to score goals, and then played shinny with them for a couple of hours on the pond.

That’s exactly what’s happening in the county’s blossoming jazz scene in April, thanks to the Prince Edward County Jazz Festival’s TD Canada Trust Jazz Education Program.

For the sixth consecutive year, the festival and TD Canada Trust will host more than 80 student musicians from schools in the Quinte region and beyond for an unrivalled jazz education experience.

The program will bring seven of Canada’s best jazz artists and educators to the Picton area for the weekend of April 11-13. They’ll mentor, perform with, and evaluate student musicians in a relaxed and non-com-

petitive environment. The students will also be treated to a special performance of the University of Toronto Jazz Orchestra.

Music teacher Greg Runions’ band at Napanee District Secondary School, a return participant this year, has students with a wide range of performance experience.

“No matter the student’s background, they all come away with a renewed enthusiasm for music and jazz playing. This program is unique in the depth of its immersion in the music and the hands-on collaboration each student enjoys with the mentoring musicians; this is really not available at any other festival I’ve been to.”

This year’s AAA-list of instructors includes musicians whose combined re-

sumes cover many of the top acts in show business over the last 30 years.

The final “blow”: the students will share the stage with one of Canada’s top jazz orchestras, the Brian Barlow Big Band featuring Justin Bacchus, in a culminating concert at Picton’s Regent Theatre on Sunday, April 13, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $30, or $20 for students or parents. Contact www. theregenttheatre.org or the Regent Theatre Box Office at 613-476-8416.

Participating high school jazz orchestras include Centennial Secondary School Jazz Orchestra (Belleville), Napanee District Secondary School, Nepean All-City Jazz Band and Hamilton Rising Stars Jazz Band.

Professional mentors include Perry White (saxo-

B16 EMC Section B - Thursday, March 13, 2014

*We guarantee our everyday competitive prices. If you find a lower everyday or advertised price on an identical stock item at any local retail competitor that has the item in stock, we’ll beat their price by 10% when you buy from us. For competitor percent-off sales, we will match their discounted price. Just bring us confirmation of the price that you have found. Lowe’s reserves the right to verify the lower price prior to sale. Competitor close-out, discontinued, clearance, liquidation, special order, damaged items, delivery, and assembly are excluded from this offer. Limited to reasonable quantities for homeowner and one-house order quantities for cash and carry contractors. Current in-store price,

if lower, overrides Lowe’s advertised price. Price guarantee honoured at all Lowe’s retail locations in Canada. Other conditions apply. Visit store or www.Lowes.ca/priceguarantee for complete details. ‡ Save the Tax Event – Lowe’s will discount the equivalent of Ontario HST (13%) not being included once the HST has been applied. Prices shown do not reflect discount. Government sales tax will be added to your purchase at the register. Example: $100 (item price before HST) - $11.51 (Discount) = $88.49 +13% (HST) = 99.99 (equal or less than item price before HST). Offer valid from Thursday, March 13 through Sunday, March 16.

Excludes clearance, gift cards, installation services, GE Café appliances, Lowe’s volume pricing and Lowe’s 5% off discount offer.
