Fifth annual Bridge Hospice walk-a-thon to feature a rubber duck race this year

News - Warkworth - Organizers of the fifth annual Bridge Hospice Walk-a-thon are already gearing up for what they hope will be another successful fundraiser for the residential hospice care home which will mark its second anniversary this June. The walk-a-thon is being promoted by those who know

what it means to help someone at this time in their life, people who have participated in fundraising and volunteered their time and energy to help maintain the home. Erin Keogh is one of those people. “It was so neat to participate last year and see how a small group of people can make so much difference and at the same

time it’s May, early spring, and everybody has been cooped up all winter, so it’s time to get out and walk for a good cause,” she said. Keogh works at Campbellford Memorial Hospital and her job has been discharge planning (now in transition to the new rural Geriatric Assessment and Intervention Network [GAIN] team in support of at-risk se-

Courtney Cassidy, from left, and her son Brixton Benoit (age three on March 22) along with Erin Keogh and her daughter Maeve Keogh (age two) are gearing up for the fifth annual Bridge Hospice Walk-a-thon which will be held on May 9 at the Warkworth arena. A rubber duck race this year will add some excitement and hopefully some dollars to the monies being raised at this event. Photo: Submitted

niors). “I got to know a bit about the hospice through my work at the hospital and saw what it was all about. If someone was palliative in hospital and didn’t want to stay there for end-of-life care but couldn’t go home for any number of reasons, then the Bridge Hospice is an option,” she explained. Last year about $5,000 was raised, quite a feat for the 25 participants who put their energy into pledge sheets and the event itself. “We had everyone from kids in strollers to people with walkers and a wide range in between. What we would like to do this year is encourage families with young children to come out and spend some time outdoors and support a good cause at the same time,” Keogh said. She is being joined by Courtney Cassidy, who is an RN at the hospital and is part of the hospital’s Palliative Care Committee. Cassidy is organizing a team of hospital employees to take

part in the walk and encouraging other businesses/teams to become involved too. “We participated in the walkathon together last year and were glad to help when Dr. Bob Henderson asked,” said Keogh. Dr. Henderson is chair of the hospice board. “The Bridge Hospice receives no funding from government and is run on donations from our community. It was built by the community and run by the community,” said Keogh. There is one major corporate sponsor, Close the Gap, which has an office in Campbellford. Money is needed for the ongoing maintenance of the building, hydro, heating, maintaining the property etc. Offering something different this year the organizers have decided to have a rubber duck race. “We are going to dump 250 rubber ducks in the stream by the arena and Dr. Henderson will be there to kick it off. He will also be at the finish line catching the ducks … that’s

worth the price of admission right there to see him in waders,” said Keogh with a big grin. “This duck race is his new favourite thing. I think it’s going to be hilarious,” she added. The walk-a-thon takes place Saturday, May 9, with registration at 9:30 and the walk at 10:30 a.m. There are three routes for participants, a onekilometre route for the kids, two-kilometre route for people out for a stroll and five kilometres for those looking to see more of Warkworth. All the shops will be open that day. “The Warkworth Business Association has been great,” said Keogh. Brochures/pledge forms will be available at The Bridge Hospice (office and website), Closing The Gap, Trent Hills Family Health Team offices, Our Lucky Stars Cafe, and the Campbellford Seymour Community Foundation.

Ltd. on behalf of Luczynski. The proposed changes relate to the exact area zoned for the original trailer park that was established in the early 1960s near Hoards Station, the speciďŹ c number of trailer sites to be approved, the removal of unserviced tent sites in an area marked for “regenerative vegetation,â€? and a plan to upgrade the on-site septage treatment system. Peters told council March 17 the site plan application “looks to identify a number of the sites we feel were created without going through certain processes, but they’re there and we have to try to deal with them.â€? He said he wanted to bring the matter before council “as quickly as possible because if we are going to try to resolve it in some manner,â€? it has to be done before the OMB hearing set for April 16 and 17. Bob Clark explained the steps his client has taken to address the various issues that have been raised since he came under ďŹ re for work he did on the land to increase the number of sites. There are currently about 200, but 67 of them have been created since 2008 in an area that was “developed without consultation or approvalâ€? of the municipality or the conservation authority, Peters said in his report. “We’re attempting to meet the

conditions admittedly somewhat after the fact,â€? Clark said, but he emphasized “there is an element of non-conformity hereâ€? and he referred to “evidenceâ€? indicating there has been use of these lands as a trailer park “for some time ‌ certainly the ’80s and earlier. “What we are attempting to do is to meet all the concerns that have been raised, [and] the owner has gone a considerable way to doing that,â€? he said. His client “is anxious to work with council and resolve this matter [and] has made some sacrifices,â€? Clark continued. “When we began this project we were looking at 220 [to] 230 sites, we’re now to 200 sites and there is limited expansion. “We would prefer a negotiated settlement,â€? he said. “We’re not anxious to go to the board and ďŹ ght the battle ‌ and we would hope to be able to work with you to achieve that.â€? Councillor Ken Tully asked how “the owner went ahead with so much work without getting involved in the process earlier? It’s like begging for mercy after the deed and not asking permission. I have trouble with that.â€? Clark explained the owner “believed at that timeâ€? the area in question

Peters said the site plan agreement “is just the start of proposing some conditionsâ€? that need to be met, adding “the development has certainly gone beyond the established boundaryâ€? of where the park is situated within the total property.

LIFESTYLES LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, Regarding: Gwynne Dyer, “How long will the oil stay cheap?” The declaration, “Clean energy producers are seeing demand for their solar panels and windmills drop as oil gets more competitive,” requires a rebuttal. Taken at face value, one must wonder if the original source for that statement was “The Heartland Institute.” Oil accounts for only five per cent of global electricity production (IEA figures). Even the Gulf States have realized that burning oil to power infrastructure is not a wise use of the

A rebuttal to Gwynne Dyer

commodity. One example is the recent Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA) tender for a 200 MW solar PV project. The project was won at a contracted 25-year electricity tariff of 5.8 cents per KWh. The cost of solar generation has plummeted to the point where it has reached “grid parity” in three southern (American) states and, by 2021, will reach grid parity in 49 out of the 50 (American) states. This explains the sudden push by Tea Partyers to join with environmentalists in the states of Florida and Georgia to al-

low third-party owned solar projects to directly compete, unimpeded, with utility power. In the first half of 2014, renewables provided 55.7 per cent of new installed U.S. capacity. Worldwide, total new renewable generation capacity exceeded total new non-renewable back in 2013 (IRENA figures). The margin continues to widen because the true “levelized cost of electricity (LCOE)” is proving, in the marketplace, to be a deciding factor. Based on U.S. Energy Information Administration (2012) figures, the total sys-

tem LCOE for conventional coal is $95.6/MWh while on-shore wind is $80.3/MWh. China is on track to add 18 GW of wind power in 2015. As for Mr. Dyer’s statement, “Electric cars, which were expected to make a major market breakthrough … are losing out to traditional gas-guzzlers that are now cheap to run again,” requires context. Electric cars were never expected to have “a major market breakthrough” this year, regardless of gas prices. The limiting factor is the current cost of battery technology. For the technology to reach market parity

with gasoline-powered vehicles, the cost must decline from $U.S. 220/KW to $U.S. 100/KW. Once this limiting factor has been addressed, the marketplace will dictate what type of vehicle will sell. As an aside, if that limiting factor is addressed and assuming a conventional vehicle operates at 8L/100 km and electricity retails for 20 cents/KWh, gasoline would have to retail at 50 cents per litre to continue to be competitive. Thank-you, Mike Stortini, Batawa

Are Hydro smart meters smarter than we know?

Dear Editor, My home is heated by electric baseboard heaters. We heat only two rooms. Our thermostats are never above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Inside, we dress like Inuit, follow Hydro’s time-of-use metering system yet always expect brutal Hydro bills in winter months. We’re never disappointed. This year obedient to Hydro’s recommendations, I increased insulation to code,

filled chinks in windows and doors, snuggled our hot water heater in a thick blanket, and of course, remained obedient to time of use. In a month that passed, I visited my wife every day and all day in the hospital. My time exceeded Hydro’s billing period. I turned thermostats to their lowest level, rarely watched TV, spent little time on my computer and the dishwasher and clothes washer

were infrequently used. I expected a reasonable bill in the $200 range. The one I received was $603.704. Greatly disturbed, I sent a letter to Hydro One President Carmine Marcello and related details of my non-Hydro usage and the size of my bill. I suggested the only possible way to justify this extraordinary bulge in rates means smart meters are calibrated to accelerate when usage decreases.

In response, Hydro posed two options. Neither did anything to assuage my mood and one even suggested an answer might be found if I paid to identify it. First was to average my rates over 24 months so I would make equal payments both in summer and winter. Second, since smart meters are now read in Hydro’s facility, they would send an actual person to check my meter’s operation. If it were faulty I

would pay nothing, if it was not, I would have to pay $30. I had no way to challenge their results, having to take their word. Since hundreds of outside meter readers are no longer needed, was the saving passed on to us? It’s as likely as having Hydro managers demand immediate wage reductions in their incomes or to be honest with the public by pricing dangerous nuclear installations

to include billions needed for down-time and refurbishing and other tens of billions to hide toxic waste. Or maybe we could also dream and have Wynne rescind the multiplying evils of the Green Energy Act? I ended my letter with, “Please reply, while I put another log on the fire and huddle.” Ronald Dabor Sr., Warkworth

them. Solomon himself would be hard-pressed to allocate our scarce resources amongst our many, diverse needs. On the other hand, those who tax us often seem incapable of intelligent, useful decision-making. The littlest are the best, (yea present Stirling-Rawdon), the biggest are the worst, (boo Queen’s Park and Ottawa). If

See insert in today’s paper

we can spend several billion to scrap a nuclear plant to save two Liberal seats in Oakville; if we can sequester thousands of acres of number one farmland in Pickering for a possible second airport; if we want to celebrate a “victory” over communism with a crazy statue on prime Ottawa land to get potential newCanadian votes, then come on, put your collective partisan shoulders to the pile of scarce resources. Wyley is sick of this waste and partisan stupidity. Here’s an idea. How about Belleville and Quinte West and environs co-operate? We need industry and jobs, we need infrastructure and attractions, so create a big modern industrial service road south of the 401 west of Wallbridge Road and share the costs and tax assessments between the two (or more) municipalities. We can build marinas and swimming pools and judicial housing and libraries and cop shops, (and gaming houses)–but we draw the line at forums. (Even the Romans knew that the peasants loved watching gladiators). Co-operate to build infrastructure, attract new industry, build it together you new mayors–companies and jobs will come. You already have hundreds of new families coming to CFB Trenton. And so, additionally, maybe a big yellow taxi can return the Bulls and some jobs to the peasants.

OPINION

Yemen: Another Civil War

Editorial - The last American troops are being pulled out of Yemen after al-Qaeda fighters stormed a city near their base on Friday. Houthi rebels who have already overrun most of the country are closing in on Aden, the last stronghold of President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi. And Sunday ISIS (Islamic Gwynne Dyer on State) sent suicide bombers into two big mosques in the capital, Sanaa, killing 137 people. The U.S. State Department spokesman put the best possible face on it, saying that “due to the deteriorating security situation in Yemen, the US government has temporarily relocated its remaining personnel out of Yemen.” He even said that the U.S. continued to support the “political transition” in Yemen. But there is no “political transition.” There is a four-sided civil war. Why would anybody be surprised? There has been no 25-year period since the 7th century AD when there was not a civil war of one sort or another in Yemen. (And the impression that it was less turbulent before that may just be due to poor record-keeping.) But this time it’s actually frightening the neighbours. Yemen’s current turmoil started in 2011, when the dictator who had ruled the country for 33 years, President Ali Abdullah Saleh, was forced out by non-violent democratic protesters (and some tribal militias who backed them). Saleh’s deputy, Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, took over and even won an election in 2012, but he never managed to establish his authority over the deeply divided country. Hadi had the backing of the United States and most of the Arab Gulf states (including Yemen’s giant northern neighbour, Saudi Arabia) because he was willing to fight the Islamist extremists who had seized much of southern and eastern Yemen. But his main preoccupation was actually the Houthis, a tribal militia based in the largely Shia north of Yemen. Angry at the status that the north was being offered in a proposed new federal constitution, the Houthis came south in force and seized Sanaa last September. In February, after months of house arrest, Hadi fled to the great southern port of Aden, his hometown and Yemen’s second city, and declared that the capital instead. So the Houthis came south after him. Meanwhile Saleh, the former president, returned from exile and made an alliance with

the Houthis despite the fact that he had launched six major offensives against them back when he was president. That’s what radicalised the Houthis in the first place, but they needed some national figure on their side as they moved deeper into the south, and Saleh is at least a Shia. He will have to do. Clear so far? Good. The third contender for power is al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), whose forces, like the Houthis, are only a half-hour’s drive from Aden. As its fighters closed in on Aden last week, AQAP seized the town next to the airbase where the American forces were living, and Washington ordered them out. The last thing it wants is American military hostages in AQAP’s hands. It is not yet clear whether AQAP and the Houthis will fight each other first (and then the winner gets to attack Aden), or whether one of them will grab the city and try to defend it from the other. It’s even possible that Hadi can hold Aden but he probably can’t take back the rest of the country. And we mustn’t forget the fighters of ISIS (Islamic State), who announced their presence in the country last month. Their sole operation of note so far has been the suicide attacks on two Shia mosques in Sanaa. But as Sunni fanatics in a country that is currently being overrun by its Shia minority, ISIS will not lack for recruits. If it doesn’t qualify as a full fourth force yet, it soon will. In conventional terms, Yemen doesn’t matter much. It has a lot of people (25 million), but it is the poorest country in the Arab world. Its oil has almost run out, and its water is going fast. You could argue that its geographical position is “strategic” at the entrance to the Red Sea, commanding the approach to the Suez Canal but it’s hard to see any Yemeni government getting the kind of military forces it would need to close that waterway. What worries people is the possibility that the jihadis (either al-Qaeda or ISIS) could come out of this on top. They are certainly not there yet, but many Sunnis will see them as the best chance to break the hold of the Shias who, despite their internal quarrels, have collectively dominated the country for so long. Shias are only one-third of Yemen’s population and the resentment runs deep. The Houthi troops now occupy almost three-quarters of the country’s densely populated areas, but it would be an exaggeration to say that they actually control all that territory. They are spread very thinly, and if they start to lose they could be rolled up very quickly by the jihadis. That could turn Yemen into a terrorist-ruled “Islamic State” with five times the population of the one that sprang into existence last July on both sides of the Syrian-Iraqi border. The odds are against it, but after that “July surprise” nobody is ruling it out.

Blame should be shared for Belleville Bulls relocation By Stephen Petrick Editorial - Some time has passed since the news that shocked the Quinte region came out; the Ontario Hockey League’s Belleville Bulls had been sold and will relocate to Hamilton, a move that ends the franchise’s 34-year history. Now that emotions have settled, let’s analyze how this happened and who’s to blame.
 A strong argument can be made that it was the municipality’s fault, since, for years, Bulls majority owner Gord Simmonds and been lobbying for improvements to the city-owned Yardmen Arena, one of the most outdated facilities in the league, and council never granted him his wish.
 Likewise, a strong argument can be made that Simmonds was heartless in the decision, as he struck a deal with a Hamilton hockey owner quickly, without allowing the city any time to respond. Or blame can be put on the fan base, or lack thereof. The Bulls had one of the worst attendance records in the league this year–of course the play of the team the past two seasons didn’t help.
 As in most controversial stories, the truth lies in the middle and all parties involved need to share some blame. I spoke to Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher and Simmonds personally last week, and within two ten-minute conversations, it was painfully clear that the two have some deep-rooted animosity toward each other. A deal between those two personalities was never going to happen.
 But the less obvious question is why did the OHL turn its back so suddenly upon Belleville, considering the Bulls have a long history in the league and a decent record of success; (they’ve represented the league in the Memorial Cup twice since 1999). Simmonds had to get approval of the OHL’s board to make the move happen. Clearly the league, run by Commissioner David Branch, agreed with his position on the Yardmen Arena and felt no local ownership group was available.
But, in the city’s defence, there were logical reasons not to pursue a new or improved arena. Belleville currently has a massive infrastructure project on the go, and in recent years, spent big money to build the Quinte Sports & Wellness

Centre, which is attached to the Yardmen. A major renovation of the Yardmen would be tough to achieve without significantly raising taxes.
 Then there’s the obvious question; if the Bulls aren’t selling out the Yardmen facility now, then why is a bigger facility needed?
 I was a reporter in Kingston when that city debated building what is now known as the Rogers K-Rock Centre, with the OHL’s Kingston Frontenacs as the main tenant. The new arena didn’t automatically lead to increased attendance. But that wasn’t a huge issue because the arena was also built to stage concerts, which the city felt comfortable it could get, considering it’s halfway between Montreal and Toronto.
 In Belleville, however, a large entertainment centre would be an injustice to those who worked to renew the Empire Theatre in recent years. And while the Empire Theatre people get some decent shows, it’s not easy for them. They couldn’t get a big time American act for Rockfest this year. (And how cosmic was it that news of the Bulls move was made official at the exact moment a press conference was held to announce the lineup of this year’s Great Canadian Empire Rockfest?) If the city were to expand the Yardmen into a multi-purpose entertainment facility to meet OHL standards, it could end up spending tonnes of taxpayers’ dollars only to have an arena with more empty seats and only the occasional concert. But the OHL board wasn’t patient with the city, and allowed Simmonds to yank the Bulls out of town quickly in a deal that even stunned people who were close to the team.
The OHL today is very different than the OHL I knew as a kid. Growing up in Kingston in the 1980s and 1990s, I went to games at the Kingston Memorial Centre, a post World War II-era barn that made the Yardmen look like the Taj Mahal in comparison. But today, the OHL is a big business and it requires its rinks to have big modern facilities complete with corporate boxes.
Maybe Belleville can have that in the distant future, but it’s not going to happen anytime soon. All hockey fans can do here is hope the OHL is willing to come back the day that the city’s spending ability doesn’t clash with the league’s vision.

Trent Hills to hire consultant to prepare Active Transportation Plan

By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills - The municipality has carried out a number of small improvements to improve the walkability of its three urban centres, now it’s ready to create an Active Transportation Plan that focuses on trails in Trent Hills. To get one done staff will prepare a request for proposal to hire a consultant experienced in putting together Active Transportation Plans. The idea for a plan emerged from a walkability audit that was done in 2013 involving municipal staff, local residents and members of the Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit which had suggested an audit be done. “We saw a number of things that we don’t normally see so it was a really useful exercise,” CAO Mike Rutter told council March 17. More than 90 opportunities for improvement to make things easier for pedestrians were identified. “We dealt with the low-hanging fruit as much as we could,” Rutter said, and because “we needed some accountability for us to hold our feet to the fire … we created a response document that will really become a foundation as we move forward.”

Improvements completed included installing a walkway and creating accessible parking at the gazebo in Hastings, and fixing the stairs at the Hastings Civic Centre. Many of the proposed measures, which include sidewalk repairs, better lighting, signage, and changes to the streetscape, will involve working with Northumberland County, private businesses, and local organizations such as the BIA and Chamber of Commerce. “We recognize that we don’t have unlimited resources,” to undertake ev-

erything on the list immediately, Rutter said, but it’s important “that we take these things into account” when planning infrastructure projects. Replacement of the swing bridge in Hastings, for example, offers an opportunity to look at things that can be done to “make that community more walkable,” he said. Staff will reference the document “on a regular basis to make sure that we’re doing our job better.” One of the outcomes of the walkability audit was “a very strong interest and sup-

port for active transportation and trails in Trent Hills,” Heather Grundy from the health unit told council. “We would like to continue to work with staff and council,” she said, and “help support strategic directions that highlight health in your decision making,” foster “community engagement” and achieve “desired outcomes.” The aim of the Active Transportation Plan “is to create a system in which pedestrians feel more comfortable and are more likely to choose active transportation as a way of moving through the community,”

director of planning Jim Peters said in a report to council. “By encouraging people to become more active, it is hoped that health issues will become less prevalent. It also encourages less dependence on the automobile for transportation which can have impacts on health, and the environment, including climate change.” He noted the health unit has said it will use a $6,500 Healthy Communities grant to support Trent Hills in preparing a plan, which will inventory trails, and identify connections as well as opportunities to connect trails to downtown areas.

County to collect leaf and yard waste in urban and rural areas By John Campbell

News - Northumberland County - Beginning in May and continuing until November, the county will collect leaf and yard waste on a two-year trial basis at an annual cost of $225,000. Introduction of a seasonal program serving urban and rural residents was recommended in Northumberland County’s Long-Term Waste Management Plan adopted a year ago. The plan is intended to serve as a guide to council

and staff in deciding how to divert more waste from the county’s lone remaining landfill, in Brighton, which could reach its capacity by 2023. Area municipalities that currently offer a leaf and yard waste collection program were notified last fall “they would no longer be required to do so,” Adam McCue, manager of transportation and waste planning and technical support, wrote in a report for council March 18. They were told they could continue

to pick up Christmas trees, if they were already doing so, as well as “manage large-scale incidents of tree debris, caused by freezing rain storms and other severe weather events, on a case-bycase basis.” Rates to collect leaf and yard waste once a month throughout the county were negotiated with Green for Life that are “in line with what GFL currently charges” the county for its curbside collection services, McCue stated.

The county is hoping it “can achieve another five per cent diversion” in material now being buried in Brighton– “around 2,000 to 2,500 tonnes a year at least,” Mo Pannu, the county’s director of transportation and waste management, said in an interview. The estimate is based on a pilot project conducted in Cobourg last year, in which 300 to 400 residents participated. Currently leaf and yard waste brought Please see “County” on page 9

Skype is a free video-based chat program that can be accessed through computers, laptops and tablets. United Way CEO Lynda Kay said the technology addresses the needs of newcomers who need help with their English skills and seniors who are “socially isolated.” It marks the first time United Way and CTDC will collaborate on a project. “It’s very exciting,” said centre CEO Madelaine Currelly, who explained the agency will train seniors how to use Skype so they become “adept at knowing how to mentor newcomers with their conversational English.” The centre will also set up newcomers with the communications software. In a news release handed out before the announcement, Norlock said the project will allow seniors and newcomers to talk about everyday events and share travel stories.

to open up. “We look at this as a wonderful opportunity … for Northumberland County to negotiate and be the architects of a new business model with the private sector, the non-profit sector, health and social services, and the Central East LHIN [Local Health Integration Network],” Darroch said. With funds being limited, “we want to guarantee to keep not only affordable housing but social programs and health programs,” he said. This will involve looking at “the possibilities of amalgamation, consolidation and shared resources” under the business model to be developed. A working group of senior and midlevel management staff will be formed from the departments of community and social services, finance, and facilities to review how the IAH funding “could best support affordable housing growth in Northumberland County” and to identify potential sites that would be suitable for redevelopment. Redevelopment “could include rental space built on the concept of a small business incubator model,” manager of housing services Lisa Horne wrote in a staff report. “This model fosters the growth of start up business by providing below market rent for a fixed period of time. In addition, there are opportunities to utilize space for childcare, seniors, aboriginals living off reserve and a variety of family services centrally located.” The working group will consult with the warden, CAO and county council’s social services representatives in doing its review. Of the $4,193,200 Northumberland is to receive, $425,200 was applied in 2014 toward the operating component of the guidelines under the Housing Allowance Program. The remaining $3,768,000 will be divided over five years, starting with $843,100 in 2015-2016 and ending with $400,400 in 2019-2020.

offer. Zone Youth Education Chairman Marlene Harnden was master of ceremonies for the event. Certificates and prizes were handed out to each and every youngster who participated. “The scores were so close, often within one or two points,” said Harnden, noting judging was very difficult this year. The contest is meant to give young people an opportunity to speak in public, choose their subject matter, voice quality, dramatics, pronunciation, organization and correct usage of grammar, all of which are included in the criteria used in judging the speeches. The Zone F2 event was open to schoolchildren from Trenton to Brighton, Port Hope to Grafton, Campbellford to Colborne, Cobourg, Bewdley, Warkworth and area. The following are the winners by division: Primary (Grades 1 to 3): 1st - Solla Brown, Grade 2, Branch 133 Cobourg “being a hockey sister”; 2nd - Dev Patel, Grade 3, Branch 103 Campbellford “famous inventors and their inventions”; 3rd - Madison Johnston, Grade 3, Branch 387 Frankford - “my cat Fred.” Junior (Grades 4 to 6): 1st - Jack Griffiths, Grade 6, Branch 580 Grafton - “ being a teenager”; 2nd Victoria Manegway, Grade 4, Branch 30 Port Hope - “my trip to the Philippines,”; 3rd - Taylor Walsh, Grade 4, Branch 380 Warkworth - “a day in the life of Isabelle who has Juvenile

Below is a recap of some of the most important tips I have prepared since last fall in order to help educate individuals interested in buying or selling their home: · Price correctly: Statistics show that a house that is well priced from the get-go tends to sell faster and at a higher price than an overpriced house that ends up undergoing price reductions; · Comparative Market Analysis (CMA): A good Realtor® should provide you with a comprehensive, research-based CMA, fundamental in helping you make an informed decision about how to price and sell your home; · Be cautious with renovations: Don’t overspend, and have reasonable expectations of recouping your investment. Keep in mind that some renovations may increase the saleability of your home without adding financial value to it; · Use the services of a Buyer’s agent: The best way to buy a home is by using an agent who will represent your best interests and by creating a partnership that will help you find your right home; · Open Houses: Open Houses are part of a Realtor’s® marketing strategy and are one more way to expose your home to potential Buyers; · Home Inspection: Whether you use the services of a Home Inspector or a Contractor when buying, a good home inspection can save you money and headaches down the road; · Love at first sight: Retain perspective and recognize that even if you fall in love with a house, it may not be the most suitable for you. For more information about any of these tips, please contact me or check my website at www. ricardomelendro.com I would be very happy to answer any questions you may have regarding a prospective purchase or sale.

News - Warkworth Standing alone in front of strangers and judges, supported in the audience by family and friends, 19 young people each took their turn at centre stage participating in the Royal Canadian Legion’s Zone F2 Level Public Speaking Competition. Hosted by Branch 380, Warkworth, the hall was filled last Saturday afternoon for the event.

It’s all part of the Legion’s Youth Education Program which provides a variety of venues for young people including an annual literary and poster contest.

Several hours later, after speakers talked on topics that ranged from “being a hockey sister,” to “being a teenager,” to “what public school has taught me,” and more, prizes were awarded. Others topics included “my cat Fred,” “inventors and inventions,” “the Canadian flag,” and “laughter” to name a few. Humour was evident in many of the speeches while others resonated with passion and commitment. It was an afternoon that showcased the best of what these young people have to

Safety essential when visiting a farm The nursery rhyme does not state, "Old MacDonald had a farm and on this farm there was a bunch of dangerous things." But maybe it should? Farmers perform an essential service, providing food and other products that consumers commonly take for granted. The inner workings of a farm are something to treat with respect. Most of

the families who live and work on a farm understand the potential hazards of such an environment. However, individuals visiting a farm may be unaware of these dangers. Understanding farm safety helps keep everyone safe. According to the organization Kids Health, the age groups at greatest risk for injury on farms are children ages 3 to 4 and

teenagers ages 13 to 14. Most injuries can be prevented, though, with a little education and precautionary measures. 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. Animals Part of the excitement of visiting a farm is seeing and petting the animals. Although many animals may be docile and domesticated, they can still be unpredictable. Animals that are startled by yelling or loud noises also may become restless and dangerous. Children should understand that animals may unintentionally cause injuries. It may be in a horse's defense mechanism to kick

when it is scared. To avoid such injuries, never approach animals from behind. Also, when baby animals are present, a female may be protective of her brood and go on the defensive. Another inadvertent injury that may occur is from bacteria or viruses from the animals. Animal feces may contain bacteria, and there may be other microorganisms on the animals themselves. It is a smart idea to always wash your hands after handling a farm animal to prevent the spread of disease. Here are some other precautions that can be taken when visiting a farm. t %POhU BMMPX DIJMESFO UP XBOEFS around unsupervised.

Medicine will see a profound shift with increased use of electronic communication “I think the future lies in opening ways that are secure that will allow patients to get in touch with their health care providers electronically,� said Dr. Bob Henderson, one of the chiefs of staff (joint position

with Dr. Celeste Collins) at Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH). He was talking to the hospital’s board members at a recent regular meeting. His comments followed a report about how busy the month of February was at CMH with the onset of flu season. Electronic communication is being touted by many in the field as a way to deal with the volume of patients that doctors are having to cope with on a day-to-day basis now, not only in their practice but at the emergency department (ER) of their local hospital. “Basically the message was that February was an incredibly busy month. Generally speaking if there are people sitting in ‘emerge’ the CMH board members heard from Dr. Bob Henderson, (arm raised, far right floor is jammed and often in those corner) chief of staff (a joint position with Dr. Celeste Collins) at a recent situations it is jammed with very ill By Sue Dickens

patients, so the staff that work on the floor, the physicians that care for the patients, are all going flat out,� said Dr. Henderson, setting the scene for the need for change. “I think we are very fortunate in this institution that we have a very good working relationship between the medical staff, nursing staff and the whole team up here,� he commented. “Given the stressors that are inevitable in that environment I think we do very well and certainly the quality of care delivered is excellent,� he added. “People go to emerge because of their own anxiety thinking that they’re sicker perhaps than they seem to be or they may require help in their environment that they are not able to get from family members perhaps,� he noted.

News - Campbellford - “We keep looking for areas to improve,� said Jan Raine, chief nursing officer with the Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH). She was addressing the board at a recent meeting with information about several initiatives that are happening at the hospital to make things better for patients and staff. There are three areas which are being improved upon and they are multifaceted affecting several different services

at the hospital. “We are currently working on developing the role of the ‘patient experience advisor,’� said Raine. She identified the areas that would see improvements from this new role at CMH and they include: a senior friendly walkabout, listening to patient complaints (inpatient and emergency), participation in relevant interviews (Geriatric Assessment and Intervention Network –GAIN–Clinic) and looking at representation on appropriate committees such as

the quality and patient safety committee. “The walkabout is to improve patients’ environment,� Raine explained. As for patient complaints, “We value their input, we’re looking to them because they might see something we don’t see in health care,� she added. As the hospital continues to look at ways to improve, Raine noted they did also hire Joan Dorland, whose background is strong in risk management and so “she’s going to go back two years and re-

And that’s where Dr. Henderson believes email communication can make a difference. “It’s already happening in some environments, it’s just not here yet,� he noted. “We have to have the web security that allows you to feel that when you go online or send an email to your physician the whole world doesn’t see it,� he said. “I think that it’s quite a legitimate way of interacting with patients. Clearly it’ll be a skill set that will develop with time.� He concedes spending time with a patient is necessary if the physician is unsure what is required for the patient’s care through the online communication. “Certainly I think electronic communication is the way of the future,� said Dr. Henderson.

It is at times like that when people are also phoning their family physician for help. “However, there is a limit as to how many people we are able to see on any given day. Although we’ve structured the appointment schedule at the [Trent Hills] Family Health Team [THFHT] so that there are always same day appointments available,â€? he noted. When people can’t get an appointment to see their family doctor they show up at emerge. It’s that simple. “I am interested in the fact that people will actually sit there in emerge for an awfully long time basically to find out they’re okay ‌ and that’s legitimate. For those anxious and worried they feel they need those answers sooner rather than later,â€? he commented.

Falls can be a main source of injury to seniors. “Dorland will provide a report with recommendations for improvement,â€? said Raine. And last but not least the hospital received funding from the “Late Career Nurse Initiative.â€? As a result of the funding ER Manager Sue Robinson has charged three RNs in Emergency to develop a pilot program that involves a role for “volunteer liaisonâ€? between the Emergency waiting room and the department. The purpose of the role is to provide communication to patients and families who are waiting and improve patient satisfaction. “The keys to success include the staff buy-in, respect for the volunteer role and frequent evaluation of the process,â€? noted Raine. The intent of the project is also to “to give senior nurses a break from their daily routine and let them do some project work.â€? “Our hope is this will improve patient satisfaction,â€? said Raine. She hopes this program will be in place by April 1.

Cram the cruiser fundraiser

Council wants face-toface chat with OCWA By Bill Freeman

Another successful Cram the Cruiser fundraiser was held last weekend in Campbellford. Northumberland OPP Auxiliary Sergeant Tom Shier, from left, manned the cruiser at Sharpe’s Food Market. Teresa Gilders, of Campbellford, donated along with many other shoppers who stopped by to give to the Campbellford Fare Share Food Bank. Doug Harpur, a volunteer, and Bruce Dunk, food bank treasurer, joined other volunteers throughout the day. The event was also held at Fisher’s No Frills. Two cruisers filled with food each day were delivered to the food bank. Photo: Sue Dickens

News - Stirling - Vendor response to the inaugural Stirling-Rawdon Home Renovation and Lifestyle Show has been excellent, organizers say, and visitors will have a springtime opportunity to learn about the products and services offered by businesses operating in the immediate area. Scheduled for April 18 at the Stirling and District Recreation Centre, the home show is intended to highlight local businesses as well as offer suggestions for decorating, remodelling and other home improvement plans, explains Economic Development Officer Cassandra Boniface. Arena Manager Richard Dean is also optimistic about the show launch, noting it has a similar format to the successful annual Active Community Expo (ACE) that in a few short years has become a popular event with many local residents and various community groups. The emphasis for the Home Show will also be on local businesses, Boniface says, with reduced rates offered to vendors operating in Stirling-Rawdon. However, all home renovation companies providing services in the area are welcome to register, she says, adding more than half the available spaces are already spoken for. “It’s been really good,” Boniface says of the response, “and we have a lot of others who say they plan to come, so it is starting to fill up.” The 2015 Stirling-Rawdon Home Renovation and Lifestyle Show, like the ACE, is intended to become an annual event that will be of significant

interest to homeowners and area families. Anyone planning spring projects around the house, she adds, would certainly benefit from the information and advice a host of local professionals can offer in a single setting. Doors will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with an admission charge of $2 per person and children 12 and under admitted free. “With an abundance of cabinet makers and businesses serving the home building and renovation market,” Boniface says, “it was a logical step to provide these businesses with an affordable venue to showcase their services to consumers as well.” Dean agrees, noting interest from the business community was highly positive when the idea was first presented about a year ago. Exhibitor applications are still available from the municipality, and Boniface says, considerations have been made to attract businesses of all sizes. Regular booths, measuring 10x10 and furnished with an eight-foot table and two chairs, are available for $50 for Stirling-Rawdon member companies or $100 for non-members. A limited number of corner booths will also be available but organizers stipulate the submission of an application does not guarantee a spot in the show. Forms are available at the municipal offices at 14 Demorest Road or can be downloaded from the municipal website. Further information is also available by telephoning the municipality at 613-395-3380 or the arena at 613-395-5000.

tion including “poor communication in regards to water quality and copper content.” OCWA officials are expected to meet March 24 during an open session of council. Council, he said, also needs to talk to OCWA about the repairs and maintenance budget, capital projects for 2015 and the “difference between managing and operating our facilities.” Mr. van Koeverden also said there was a “lack of confidence in recommendations to resolve issues.” Treasurer Candace White told council the list compiled by the CAO would give them

a “fair idea of what will be discussed and what the issues are.” “We are looking for answers,” Mayor Low said. Mayor Low said it was only fair to OCWA that a meeting agenda be prepared so they are aware of what some of the issues are and that they come prepared to provide information. “We’d like answers rather than deferrals to answers,” he said. “Come prepared to answer.” The agenda would also “reiterate that we are a unified council and that there are questions to be answered,” Deputy-mayor Rodger Bonneau added.

Young girl’s gesture earns praise and a plaque News - Castleton - Leigha Kelly didn’t get any birthday presents from her friends this year. What they gave her instead earned her praise and admiration. It all started when her mother, Kailyn, suggested she ask her friends to bring food items instead of presents to her birthday party in January to be donated to Food4All Northumberland, a

non-profit food distribution warehouse in Cobourg. As a young child just turning five, Leigha “wasn’t sure what this really meant,� so her mother had to explain, Mark Darroch, director of commu-

nity and social services, told county council March 18 in a special presentation. She told her daughter “not all families have enough money to buy food and groceries� all the time or enjoy the meals

Darroch said Leigha, who attends junior kindergarten at Northumberland Hills Public School, knew about the school’s breakfast program but until she learned about Food4All, she had not known its “true meaning and exactly why it is provided for the children.� It was also then she realized “how meaningful her contribution� to the warehouse was, and said she would like to donate more food items in future. “Leigha’s family is so proud of her,� Darroch said. “It is very important to teach young children about the unfortunate reali-

ties in our community, and being a smart and mature little girl, Leigha understands that ‘sharing is caring.’� For her “very thoughtful act of kindness,� Leigha was presented a plaque in appreciation by Warden Marc Coombs on behalf of the community and social services department and Food4All program. Leigha hasn’t decided whether she wants to be a chef, baker, police officer or firefighter, but “she’s already well on her way with community involvement, caring, and helping others in need,� Darroch said.

she was “lucky to have,â€? Darroch said. When Kailyn said there is a big warehouse to help these families with donations it receives, Leigha, as someone who “is always considering other people’s feelings, ‌ immediately wanted to do this for her birthday.â€? The two went for a tour of the warehouse, talked to staff, and learned where the food gets distributed throughout Northumberland, Darroch said. She enjoyed the visit but “was overwhelmed to learn that hunger and families without food is an actual issue in our community.â€?

charged with driving while her licence was under suspension March 20. She had been travelling on County Road 45 in the Baltimore area. Two people dialled 911 March 19 to find out if Highway 401 had reopened. They were advised information about provincially maintained highways can be obtained by calling 511. A homeowner complained an Ontario Hydro crew dumped snow on his lawn. He was told to call Hydro One, as it was not a police matter. Colborne-area parents called police to report their 17-year-old son was attempting to break windows and doors with his bare hands. Police found him outside the home and took him to an area hospital for a mental health assessment. A complaint was made to police after a failed attempt to have a resident in a Colborne apartment building turn the music down. Officers were able to get the music lowered “to a more reasonable level,� Bates said. A 21-year-old female woman from St. Catharines was charged with stunt driving–excessive speed after being caught on radar travelling at 158 kilometres an hour on Highway 401 shortly before midnight March 19. She was also charged with driving without a licence. Several officers from the Northumberland OPP detachment assisted Napanee OPP with the closure of the eastbound lanes March 18 as a result of a multi-vehicle collision shortly after midnight. They continued to assist throughout the day and

into the night. Police mediated a landlord-tenant dispute over the lack of heat. Bates noted complaints of this nature should be directed to the Landlord and Tenant Board (1-888-332-3234). A Brighton woman reported her 15-year-old daughter was refusing to come home. Officers found her walking in town and returned her home around 10 p.m.
 A Cramahe Township home on County Road 2 was broken into sometime between March 17 and 18. Several 60-ounce bottles of whiskey were taken as well as a Makita drill set and a pair of snowmobile boots. Paramedics, police and firefighters responded to a report of a 73-year-old Cramahe Township man whose heart had apparently stopped beating. He was revived by paramedics and taken to hospital for treatment. Police received a complaint about two occupants smoking in a Brighton motel in violation of the rules. The owner was advised to evict the offenders as it was not a police matter. A 42-year-old Cramahe Township woman was notified her driver’s licence was under suspension when she was stopped by an officer at the Colborne exit off Highway 401 March 17. Officers spoke to a separated couple in Cramahe Township who were “arguing over who gets visitation with their dog,� Bates said. The same day, March 16, they attended a separated couple in Brighton who were arguing over child custody issues.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Friendly Visiting Program Volunteers in this program offer companionship and conversation to people who live alone. The Community Care Northumberland program staff match volunteers with clients based on their common interests. The commitment is only a few hours a week and at your mutual convenience and location. Visits can occur in the client’s home or for example, a trip to a local coffee shop. Clients are individuals in the community who could benefit from one-on-one company and companionship. If you have patience, with a caring and pleasant personality, with just a few hours to spare, you can make a difference in someone’s life in your community. Hospice Palliative Care Volunteers New Training Session Begins Soon: We offer a mandatory comprehensive training program for volunteers before they begin visiting and supporting our clients with a palliative diagnosis or with having a life threatening illness, their families, and caregivers. This course consists of 30 hours of classes, readings, specialized guest speakers, discussions, and hands on experiences all intended to prepare volunteers for the joys and challenges they may encounter as a volunteer. Hospice Palliative Care volunteers share the common belief that quality of end of life should continue until death and that no one should have to make this journey alone. Volunteer Drivers We need both local and long distance volunteer drivers. Volunteer drivers directly help individuals by supplementing the driving of friends and family or taking on transportation for those without the ability to drive. A volunteer driver provides transportation using their personal vehicle. They transport clients to destinations within Northumberland County as well as outside the County for medical, social, banking, recreational purposes and activities of daily living. Drivers receive reimbursement directly from our clients to help offset the cost of gas. Local drivers receive $8.00 while long distance drivers are reimbursed based on .37 cents/per kilometre. For example: A trip from Campbellford to Peterborough, mileage reimbursement is $41.00. Meals on Wheels Drivers We need Meals on Wheels drivers to help deliver prepared meals to our clients. The Meals on Wheels service provides clients with a hot, delicious meal delivered right to their door. These clients often live alone and do not get out on a regular basis. The time commitment is once per week for approximately an hour each day, starting at 11:00 am and ending at around 12:00 noon.

Office Volunteers We need volunteers to help us at our front desks, answering the phone, greeting volunteers, arranging rides, and being a good listening ear.

For more information about these volunteer opportunities, please contact your local Community Care Northumberland office.

Curlers of all experience or for that matter, none, as well as traditional and stick curlers enjoyed a relaxed day of fun, raised funds for the kids at Camp Oochigeas, and were served a delicious pot luck lunch (some said enough to feed all of Marmora!). Curlers also donated foodstuffs to fill four large boxes for the Marmora Food Bank. Several prizes donated to the event included a beautiful painting, won by Cliff Ellis of Marmora; Bev Barry won the Wine and Cheese gift, while Bev Maloney of Marmora won the Tim Hortons gift certificate. A set of vases went to Ron Ross of Deloro. A curler from Brampton won the 50/50 draw on the Curl for the Button, and donated half back into the fund. A total of $1,826 was raised for the kids at Camp Oochigeas. For more information on the “Camp Ooch experience”, visit the website <http:// www.ooch.org/>.

ies, and increasing pollution in many areas are hastening a water crisis that can only be addressed by cross-sectoral, holistic planning and policies–internationally, regionally and globally,” United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in his World Water Day message. Roughly 750 million people haven’t access to safe drinking water, he said. The Hastings Environmental Group, as its name suggests, is dedicated to making this part of the world a cleaner, more inviting place in which to live. On April 18, the group and anyone wishing to help will be cleaning up the village’s raceway and planting more than 1,000 native species of trees, shrubs, grasses and flowers along an 80-metre stretch two metres wide, “to create a buffer,” Danica Donald said. The work, expected to last two to three hours, begins around 10 a.m. Donald said volunteers should bring shovels. “We’re hoping to get a few people in canoes to go in the raceway and try to collect some trash,” she said. The project got under way last fall Aiden Gilmour had fun experimenting with water.

News - Hastings - March Break doesn’t mean a break from learning, especially when the activities are informal and presented in an interesting way. Children discovered that last week when they attended two days of special events organized by the Hastings Environmental Group and held at the Hastings Legion. The first was a presentation by the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre March 18 followed the next day by sessions on the importance of water in advance of World Water Day last Sunday. In the morning session March 19, which drew about 25 youngsters, members of First Nations involved in Trent University’s Trent Aboriginal Cultural Knowledge and Science (TRACKS) Youth Program told the Ojibwa story handed down through generations about the creation of water. That led into a brief science-based talk followed by some experimenting designed to show the properties of water. An Ojibwa song “thanking the wa-

ter” helped get the children “really thinking” about not wasting water and to appreciate how vital it is to their survival, Michelle McGarrity said. Water deserves our respect and love “because it does so much for us,” said Heathyr

Francis, a science instructor with TRACKS. But it’s not getting enough of either around the world and that’s of mounting concern. “The onset of climate change, growing demand on finite water resources from agriculture, industry and cit-

ITS Skins: “We did it again; total success”

Sports - Stirling - Last weekend marked the 25th consecutive year that the Skins Bonspiel has taken place in Stirling. International Truckload Service of Belleville, title sponsor this year, along with more than 60 other sponsors, helped make the Skins in Stirling the premier men’s bonspiel of the year. A total of 24 teams from across Ontario and New York State flocked to Stirling in search of the big prize being offered at this year’s bonspiel. Because of huge generosity from the community and surrounding area, Stirling Curling Club was able to offer the largest cash purse in the area this season. The ITS Skins was able to provide, for the second year in a row, a total cash purse of $10,244 for the weekend. The lucky team that made it to the A Event final would be playing for $200 per end or skin. The 24-team field began Friday evening using the skins format. Each team is on the offence at all times; defence is very rarely used. It is great to watch that many rocks in play and it always comes down to a team’s last rock of each end before the skin can be decided. There is very rarely a shot to be made to take the skin. The team without last rock only needs to score a point, while the team with last rock must score two or more points to get the skin. If this does not happen then the end is carried over at which time the nerves can get quite stretched because each shot could decide the game. A three-game qualifying round was held on Friday night and Saturday. After the dust settled the standings were as follows: Shoppers Drug Mart, Quinte Mall (Evan Sullivan - Quinte ) - $193 (3 game winner) Pro One Stop (Dennis Murray Quinte ) - $192 (3 game winner) Saputo (Bryce Rowe - Napanee) - $151 (3 game winner) Jimmy’s Special Pizza (Rick Barnard - Stirling) - $173 ECO Water Belleville (Mike Beebe - Ottawa) - $172 Sullivan Auctioneers (Ian Laver - Campbellford) - $163 Goodkey Motors (Trevor Calvert - Scarborough) - $152 Dow’s Climate Care (Neil Harder – Trenton) - $151 Don McCurdy GM (Jeff Clark– West Northumberland) - $141 Vic’s Window & Door (Jim Bronson - Campbellford) - $131 Wells Ford (Scott Shaw - Stirling) - $122 A.J.

Parker Financial (Ken Richards - Stirling) - $50 Due to unforeseen circumstances the Dairy Queen, Belleville (Harold Fledderus - Quinte ) team had unfortunate team complications and were unable to participate on Sunday which therefore allowed Tweed Chiropractic (Doug Brewer - Brockville) to take the last spot. Because standings are determined by dollars won, teams quite often end up tied with the same dollar amounts. To make it fair and to give the team some control of their own destiny in this bonspiel, we use a shoot-out system to break ties. Each team member will throw one rock, measuring its distance from the button in the centre of the rings. The total distance accumulated is then used to break ties in dollar amounts between teams. To make it a little bit more competitive the field was broken up into groups of four teams. Each group would then be competing for $100 and the overall winner would get an additional $100. This activity was generously sponsored by Leighton Electric of Trenton and McKillop & Associates of Stirling.

give the general public a taste of the hard work, determination and superb creativity of its skaters who will roll out some of their awardwinning routines from this past season. The title sponsor for this year’s show is Horizon Family Dentistry in Havelock. Skaters of all levels, from prebeginners to the club’s most senior and accomplished members, will be in the spotlight during Sunday afternoon’s event. Organizers are certainly excited that Michelle Long will be on hand to share the excitement. The Newmarket native skates out of the acclaimed Richmond Training Centre and is coming off a fabulous year that included a senior lady’s gold medal at the 2015 Central

Ontario Sectionals after earning bronze in 2014 at the same event. Michelle also placed fourth at the 2015 Skate Canada Challenge and started the new year out in brilliant fashion with her seventh-place finish at the nationals in Kingston. The York University student began skating at two years of age but didn’t start competitive skating until she was 15 so her top ten national performance and glittering Sectional skates are mightily impressive. Richmond Training Centre teammate Gabrielle Daleman won gold at the nationals. “I can’t stop smiling,” Michelle said in a Skate Canada interview shortly after her free skate program at the nationals. “This is something I have dreamed of since I was a lit-

tle girl. To finally be able to make it to the Canadian championships and skate a personal best in the free skate, I am just so happy right now.” The York University student is also a CanSkate coach at the Training Centre and enjoys yoga, dancing and music when not immersed in the busy life of studying, skating and coaching. “Skating has been a passion for mine as long as I can remember,” she says. “My experiences this year have been a dream come true and I am privileged to share this joy with everyone here in Norwood.” The Blades and Spurs gala starts at 2 p.m. and will feature a number of raffle draws and the traditional and much-appreciated baked goods table.

Sports - Norwood - Norwood J.J. Stewart Vipers captain Darren Doherty has won the Allan Cup Hockey League’s most valuable player award. Always one of the most dangerous, entertaining and classiest players on the ice, Doherty led the Vipers in scoring for the sixth straight time scoring 20 goals and adding 14 assists for 34 points which was good for fifth best in the ACH along with Whitby’s Shane Terry. It was Doherty’s seventh straight top-ten finish going back to his rookie season in the now defunct Eastern Ontario Senior Hockey League when he posted career high 29 goals. This is the second time the Cobourg Cougars Junior A grad and former captain of the NCAA Division I Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers has earned Player of the Year honours. In 2008-2009 he was the Ontario Hockey Association’s senior player of the year. Doherty’s performance this past season was certainly the brightest spot for the Vipers who finished last in the ACH for the second straight season with a 3-20-1 record, one win better than 2013-2014 when they went 2-21-0-1. The Vipers began this past year with six straight losses which extended their losing streak to 26 through two seasons before snapping it with a solid 8 - 4 win over defending Allan Cup champion Dundas. Dundas, who finished fourth in the league standings, is on the verge of winning the ACH crown for a second straight year after taking a 3 - 1 lead over the Brantford Blast. Doherty has been Vipers marquee player during his entire career in Norwood and was a key part of the team that took Dundas to game seven of the league championship final in 2011. During his Vipers career Doherty has scored 125 goals with 15 more as a member of the Whitby Dunlops in in 2012-2013 when Norwood took a one-year hiatus from ACH action. Doherty spent 2009-2010 playing pro hockey in Germany notching 20 goals and 40 assists for Herne EV. The steady centre was a stand-out Junior player for the Cougars helping them to the franchise’s second best record ever in 2001-2002 earning all-star status and the Eastern Conference’s MVP award after scoring 42 goals and adding 39 assists. He also won the OJPHL’s playoff MVP award and the Most Gentlemanly Player Award that year. During his four seasons in Cobourg he scored 109 goals and had 219 points. Doherty had a stellar career at RIT and was elected to the ECAC West-

Show and tell by the Fosters fills the house By Diane Sherman

News - Ivanhoe - Much like the natural phenomena they have captured on film, Janet and John Foster work in harmony, complementing one another with their work and preservation of life around them. As two professionals, the Fosters worked together to produce outstanding images of wildlife in both still photography and cinematography. As a couple, they settled in Hastings County in 1975 which brought them into a permanent setting where they have applied their value for nature to rejuvenate a 200-acre farm in the central region. The land base provides for them not only a home, but scenes to photograph for productions, or use as stock photos for a little side cash. It has given them a piece of the continent where they strive to preserve and nourish the life they love to record. Hastings Stewardship Council representative Cliff McLean says he has been trying to get the couple to do a presentation, for over two years, about their eco-friendly approach to managing their property The Fosters supposedly declined, thinking it would not be of particular interest to the masses. They were mistaken. A standing-room-only audience quietly absorbed images and stories they shared in a show and tell presentation at

Huntingdon Veteran’s Centre, March 19, in Ivanhoe. Based on their production, Leave it Wild … and they will come, members of the Stewardship Council felt their presentation valuable for residents managing land or hoping to preserve natural habitat and encourage regrowth of the same. The property the Fosters purchased was an old farm, basically laid to waste. They let the old barn stand; it is now home to various species of creatures. They set up bird houses protected from predators and left a bit to farm out for hay crops. Species at risk, like the tree swallow, are given safe nesting range. Janet carries fresh nesting to them during the wet season. She checks for blowflies harbouring in the nest, feeding on fledglings. If found, she gently clears them out and changes the nesting. Each year they have their wild grass field burned off professionally. The result is fresh flowers, seeds and grasses to serve as food and shelter for a multitude of species. Leaving certain old trees and rock hedgerows garlanded with wild grapes, has brought them opportunities to record hovering birds plucking grapes, raccoons peaking from burrows and sparring tom Janet and John Foster have used their talents to record, produce and present visual documentation of Canadian wildlife for close to 40 years. Together they have created a natural turkeys fighting for rights. Please see “Four” on page B3

Carol Martin inducted into the Order of Canada By Brett Mann

News - Thomasburg - When Carol Martin received a phone call from the office of Canada’s Governor-General last June informing her that with her agreement, she was to be made a Member of the Order of Canada, she was “shocked, disbelieving and ultimately very honoured.” Last month Ms. Martin, a Thomasburg resident, made the trip to Ottawa with her daughter, Pamela, sons Christopher and Jeremy and her friend, Pat Dacey, for the formal induction ceremony at Rideau Hall. She describes her reception there and the event itself as “elaborate, very generous and well-organized.” The Order of Canada honour was bestowed on Martin in recognition of the contributions she and her late husband Peter made to the Canadian publishing industry and Canadian literature. Martin is Thomasburg resident Carol Martin was formally appointed a Member of the Order of Canada last month by Governor-General herself an author of several books David Johnson whose own appointment has just been extended to 2017. “It was altogether a wonderful event,” said Ms. Mar- including A History of Canadian tin.

the survival of Canadian authors and the publishing industry itself. Widespread and urgent concerns from the industry and the Canadian public spurred government action resulting in the establishment of the Canada Council and a Royal Commission study as well as support for struggling publishers, notably McClellan and Stewart, a firm being eyed for a U.S. takeover. Ms. Martin travelled by firstclass train to Ottawa where she was put up at the Marriott Hotel from which she was “spirited away” by bus with her companions to Rideau Hall, the residence of the Governor-General, accompanied by an Aide-de-Camp “in full regalia.” Governor-General David Johnson has recently had his fiveyear appointment extended to 2017 by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He greeted each new appointee as they came forward, bowed and heard their citation read. Carol Martin’s citation describes her as a “champion of Canadian writers,” citing her “seminal role in founding the Canadian Association of Publishers and the Canadian Children’s Book Centre.” It notes her founding of the first Canadian Book-of-the-month club calling

her a “revered mentor.” “Here the Governor-General made a short speech about the Order of Canada and the contributions of the recipients to the country and how important they are,” Ms. Martin reports in an e-mailed communication with the Central Hastings News. “This was followed by each new Order of Canada member being named, coming forward to bow to the Governor-General and stand to one side as the citation is read out. Then the Governor-General shakes hands with that person and the insignia is attached to his or her left shoulder. The Governor-General speaks a few words and a photograph is taken. There is much clapping at every stage.” She notes the recipients are “not, for the most part, household names,” but span a wide spectrum of occupations and backgrounds including science, arts, sports, philanthropy, prisoner advocacy and conservationists. “The situation is very touching and a reminder of how all across the country Canadians are quietly working away to improve life … I am honoured and touched to be listed among them … it was altogether a wonderful event.”

No reason to criticize Bill C-51: Kramp By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - Prince Edward-Hastings Member of Parliament Daryl Kramp says Canadians have nothing to worry about Bill C-51, the proposed legislation that has been described as Canada’s “anti-terrorism” bill. The bill was the subject of a nation-wide protest on March 14, with demonstrators picketing outside Conservative MPs’ offices–including Kramp’s Belleville office–arguing the bill will cause a police state and could make even peaceful demonstrations illegal. But in an interview from his Parliamentary Hill office on Monday, March 23, Kramp said the criticism from protesters isn’t warranted. “Most of their information is dead wrong,” he said. “They’re quoting rumours and they’re quoting mistruths.” Kramp is directly involved with the bill as he’s the chair of Canada’s Public Safety and National Security Committee, which is in the process of writing it. More witnesses are expected to speak to the committee this week before the bill is tabled in the House of Commons. Kramp acknowledged that the bill is intended to give the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) more powers to investigate those perceived as potential terrorists. For instance, previously CSIS could investigate someone suspected to be a terrorism threat by interviewing parents or people close to the suspect. This bill would allow police to investigate the suspect more directly. However, he said there are still plenty of safeguards in the bill to ensure law enforcers aren’t given too much power. Search warrants will still be needed by police to investigate a suspect and the bill is only intended to allow police more

power when it comes to stopping national security threats, he said. Kramp stressed that the bill isn’t intended to stop demonstrators who protest peacefully, or even those who protest illegally through simple acts, such as chaining themselves to a truck. “But if you’re talking about blowing up a power plant, that’s a whole different situation,” he said. Kramp said he expects the bill won’t make it to the House of Commons for at least two weeks. The Public Safety Committee he’s chairing is made up of seven Conservative Party representatives and five members from Opposition parties, in accordance with Parliamentary rules. As the chair, Kramp doesn’t vote on the bill itself, unless he’s needed to break a tie. However, once the bill makes it to the House he can vote. Kramp said he isn’t bothered by the fact that protesters are demonstrating against the bill, saying The Canadian Cancer Society will soon be offering hope to people living with cancer and their families. Daffodil Days raise it’s their democratic right to do so. And he says he funds through the sale of Daffodil Pins.

Brighton historian tells a tale of murder and intrigue By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - Computer guru by day and historian and sleuth by night, Dan Buchanan of Brighton again captured the imagination of the Probus Club of Trent Hills with a repeat visit as a guest speaker. His subject this time was the sinking of a British gunboat HMS Speedy and the reason it set sail carrying many prominent people including a provincial law-enforcement officer and Ogetonicut, a member of the Ojibway tribe, who was accused of murdering trading post operator John Sharp near Lake Scugog. All hands were lost and it is said that this event changed the course of Canadian history. “Dan captivated us last spring with his story of the conviction and hanging of Dr. King of Codrington, Northumberland County’s last hanging,” said Alan Appleby, while introducing the special guest. The intrigue over the disappearance of HMS Speedy which sank in a violent snowstorm in Lake Ontario near Brighton on October 8, 1804, was kept alive for decades until OPP divers training in the area where it was thought to have gone down, discovered what appeared to be the ship’s anchor and bell and pieces of the hull. Buchanan’s tale unfolded with a

down, is thought to hold the key to the mystery. Telling the tale of this illfated voyage Buchanan added plenty of historical information which he has gathered over time as he researched the

plight of HMS Speedy. Buchanan added even more excitement to the story when he talked about an area on Lake Ontario known as “the Sophiasburgh Triangle,” located off the western end of Prince Edward County at the entrance to Presqu’ile Bay, where there is a “magnetic anomaly” and compass readings can be off by as much as 15 degrees. It is that anomaly which he believes caused the ship to hit a large rock, mapped at the time, and sink. Full of intrigue and all the elements that make for a good mystery Buchanan kept his audience holding their collective breath as he wove his tale. “Regulations are much more strict now to prevent the loss of history and items being stolen,” noted Buchanan. And so the anchor and bell and chest sit at the bottom of the lake–protected. “We are told there are cameras on shore to secure the area,” he noted. “We are told they can’t

even scrape the moss off the bell to read the name to see if it’s the HMS Speedy,” he added. “It’s a wonderful story and a part of Ontario’s history,” he concluded. “Dan has always been a history buff and has the library to show for it,” Appleby noted. In fact he has written a book about Dr. King (Dr. William Henry King, convicted of murdering his wife Sarah Ann Lawson, in 1859) called Murder in the Family which is due to be released this July. He has many accomplishments to his name including founder of the Brighton History Open House in February 2013, director of the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society and a member of the Brighton Public Library Board. He has also developed a broader view of local history through interconnected family trees which he calls “community genealogy” which can be found on his website <www.treesbydan. com>.

We’ve spent a bit of time chatting about the honeybee and the challenges it is facing. At the moment, the blame game is heating up and lines are being drawn in the freshly tilled garden soil. The danger is that we will become drawn into just this one facet of the issue and totally disregard the bigger picture. (And there always is a bigger picture.) One of my mantras is, “What comes next?” It forces me to think beyond the moment and, hopefully, allows me to make decisions that will help create the best outcome (not always my desired outcome) given the resources and knowledge available at the time. If we apply that to the bees one of the “nexts” might be their extinction in which case we’re going to have to find other pollinators, some quick. Actually, GR, there are eleventy-eleven gazillion pollinators crawling, hopping and flying around this Good Earth this very moment. Did you ever wonder why a blueberry grower smiles when the air is thick with mosquitoes and black flies? Let’s make life easier for them as well

as the honeybees. It doesn’t matter if you have a balcony garden in an urban apartment or a community plot or a one-acre lot in the “burbs,” you can still create a nutritious oasis for all the pollinators. How cool will it be, when you’re sitting on your thinking bench with an appropriate beverage, to watch the incredible interaction of life taking place on your wee bit of the planet? O&S #4 Seedy Saturday returns. There are quite a few grassroots organisations that are active in retaining our heritage. We usually think of museums and private collections but I’d like to give a moment to a special group that works to make you the curator. If that’s not enough, can you mention to me another group that encourages you to actually chow down on your historical production. So, straight from Colleen O’Reilly (613-4756139 or clo_reilly@yahoo.ca). “Our second annual Seedy Saturday Quinte West is growing! Join us on April 11, 2015, at Murray Centennial Public School, 654 County Road 40, (Wooler Road) in Trenton, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Admission is free! The heart of the Seedy Saturday Quinte West is the seed exchange table. We encourage everyone to share locally grown

and collected, open-pollinated seeds. We are supported by Seeds of Diversity whose mission includes searching out, preserving, perpetuating, studying, and encouraging the cultivation of heirloom and endangered varieties of food crops. “We have many returning and new vendors this year including: Edible Antiques, Fuller Native and Rare Plants, Cubits Organics, Pyramid Farms and Ferments, Railway Creek Farms, Trenton Horticultural Society, Greenhill Greens, Turtleback Hollow, Terra Edibles, EcoStewards, Honey Pie Hives and Herbals, Florabunda Seeds, Heritage Seed and Produce, Mountain Grove Seed Company, Seeds of Creation, Thyme Again Gardens, and Brighton Horticultural Society. “Lunch and snacks will be available for sale from the Women’s Institute throughout the day.” Dan’s comments: GR, this is a great event for the whole family. You’ll make some farm gate connections for purchasing produce later this year, you’ll have the opportunity to pick and/or exchange seeds and the kids will learn a lot more than Farmville (a computer game) will ever teach them.

Our TMH committee looking for new solutions By Kate Everson

News - Trenton - The Save TMH committee is still going strong and meeting every week at city hall to talk about ways to keep the hospital viable. “We have $3,100 in our bank account,” reported chair Mike Cowan. The group talked about taking out liability insurance and incorporating the group. “If we are sued personally we have to defend ourselves,” co-chair Frank Barry said. Foundation chair John Smylie said it would likely be the directors and chairs not the whole group that could get sued. Smylie said they had a meeting with the QHC representatives and made it clear the expectations of the committee. Co-chair Betty Clost added they also toured the Trenton hospital to help understand the issues. Cowan said there is an acute medical staff shortage in hospitals across Ontario. “We are not the only one,” he said. He noted that many doctors prefer to work in the more lucrative city hospitals rather than smaller rural hospitals. Foundation executive director Wendy Warner said there are two physicians leaving Trenton for sure, a husband and wife team, and there may be one more. “We need them now,” she said. “They are very fed up with how Trenton hospital is being treated by QHC,” Warner said. “Dr. Iny loved this community and he is very frustrated with Point of Care and why the doctors were not involved.” Warner said they need representatives from Quinte West and Brighton on the QHC committee that recruits new doctors to the area, particularly young

people who can let the doctors know what is available in their community. “We need the right mix of people,” she said. She added that Campbellford hospital is very successful recruiting new doctors to that area, using videos and sponsoring training events, offering incentives. “The doctors were wined and dined,” she said. “They offered them localized incentives like Dooher’s donuts and tickets to Westben. It was very homegrown stuff and it worked for them.” Betty Clost said 30 years ago there were a lot of doctors from the base. Now many are over 65 and still working from a sense of commitment for their patients. Smylie said they asked QHC to confirm its commitment to TMH. They also asked them to break down the cost of running the TMH

emergency compared to QHC. “It was a long-winded explanation,” he said. “The issue is the funding formula. They have to balance the budget.” Clost asked what is happening with the promise of community engagement. Theoretically there will be public input into what people want their hospital to look like. Smylie said the community will decide what to put in TMH and the cost. Warner suggested a survey with a link to Facebook for people to contribute ideas. It would also do the tabulation. It was noted that there is no new money in the Ministry of Health (MOH) budget except for mental health. Sue White suggested they meet with groups and get ideas like medical clinics, hospice and convalescent care centres,

looking at hospitals in Niagaraon-the-Lake and Burke’s Falls that were reinvented. She said a convalescent care centre would be very practical, with people who are mobile using it as a step to going home from hospital. She noted there is huge concern over the old part of the hospital that is still empty, the whole third floor and some rooms on the first floor used for storage. Cowan said the cost to renovate them would be considerable to get them up to today’s hospital standards. John Smylie said they have to lobby MOH to relinquish their standards and to help find solutions outside the box. Wendy Warner said they have six months to define healthcare at TMH. Cowan said communication is a big problem. “This elephant is growing every day,” he said.

Bulls departure to impact non-profits, charities, fans By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - It’s tough to put a dollar figure on what the departure of the Ontario Hockey League means to Belleville. But it’s safe to say it’s significant and with the Belleville Bulls relocating to Hamilton next season, several Quinte-area charities and non-profits that work with the team will have to find new ways raise money. That thought is taking a toll on Bulls staffers who may soon be without a job, including Director of Business Operations Andrew Kerik, whose job involves building partnerships with community groups. While poor fan attendance and conflicts between team ownership and city hall in 2014-2015 ultimately doomed the franchise, from Kerik’s perspective the season was successful. The Pink in the Rink event Terry Buffett holds up a sign during the Belleville Bulls last regular-season on February 21 raised $61,000 game at the Yardmen Arena on Saturday. The long-time season ticket hold- for Belleville General Hospital er said the last few weeks have been “terrible” for him, knowing the Bulls Foundation.

for the Lung Association, raised more than $11,000. Those are just two examples of popular community events linked with the team. During any given home game, several charities and nonprofits are benefitting from OHL hockey, through auctions, raffles and other special promos. “We try to have one or two charities or non-profits at every one of our games,” said Kerik. “Our goal is to not turn away anybody. Part of our community involvement is to help whenever we can. “You see the numbers that Pink in the Rink draws, but I think, during the course of the year, we probably more than double that in what we ourselves donate.” Unfortunately, with the team relocating, Kerik can’t provide the people he’s worked with any clear answer on how they can make up for the revenue they’ll lose next year when the OHL vanishes from Belleville. But the team is exploring ways it can remain involved in the

community, at least for a few more months. “I’ve talked to a few of them. They’re all looking for solutions at this point. To be honest, we’re looking at ways we can end on a good note and bridge that gap. “With playoffs, five dollars from every ticket sold is going to be donated to minor hockey. But we’re looking at something of a bigger picture once the season is over; maybe a jersey auction where we can donate money to those charities.” As for keeping those partnerships in the long-term, that may be impossible. “The difficult part is that the majority of events we help with involve players,” he said. “Once the team moves they’ll probably be doing similar things in Hamilton.” He added the Medigas Celebrity Classic golf tournament may be an exception. Since it often involves bringing in Belleville Bulls alumni to participate, the franchise could still remain

involved. “But outside of that, I think it will be difficult to continue the way it is,” Kerik said. “They’re going to have to find new ways.” The news of the team’s sale and relocation is just as disheartening to loyal fans and long-time season ticket holders. During Saturday’s final-regular season game, Terry Buffett, a season ticket holder for more than 20 years, held up a sign that said “The Cowbells will ring no more,” a reference to the bells that many Bulls fans ring when the home team scores. “I’m going to miss the Bulls and the whole Bulls family,” he said, referencing the wide array of fans and community groups that made up the Bulls community. Standing by him, Etienne Rioux added that the sale is heartbreaking to his son Michael, who has special needs and rarely misses a game. “It’s a regular routine for him,” Etienne said. “He likes hockey and he’s made great friends here.”

TRAVEL

A visit to the “Moonshine Capital of the World”

This non-working still is found at the Franklin County Historical Museum. By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - Virginia’s Franklin County has been said to be the “Moonshine Capital of the World,” as illegal corn whiskey production and bootlegging drove the economy here during Prohibition. In fact, it’s said that the making of illegal, untaxed alcohol was an important industry in this rather impoverished area long before Prohibition, and that generations of Franklin County residents passed on the traditions and techniques, much like grandma would pass on a favourite cake

or cookie recipe. With the arrival of Prohibition, illegal distilling became even more tempting and profitable, and this, of course, led to more investigations and raids. Apparently some of the local police even “jumped onto the bandwagon” and accepted bribes to keep quiet. This scandal eventually led to the 1935 “Franklin County Whiskey Conspiracy Case,” and 20 defendants were found guilty of various crimes and were sentenced accordingly (but most received very light sentences).

During the conspiracy trial, government statistics revealed that in the early 1930s (between 1930-1935), about 37 tons of yeast, 17,000 tons of sugar, and several thousand tons of malt had been shipped into Franklin County, and some of the rumrunners said that they had moved over a million gallons of whiskey out of the county during that period. One woman, Mrs. Sharpe, confessed that she’d moved “more than 220,000 gallons” herself. This piece of history is retold annually during the Franklin County History Museum’s “Moonshine Express Tour,” held in April (this year it begins on April 12, and the cost of the tour is $14). The popular event attracts many visitors who want to learn more about it, and a convoy of buses takes people to 21 stops in and around Rocky Mount, where interpreters board the buses and take on the roles of Depression-era characters on all sides of the untaxed liquor business, including moonshiners, police, prosecutors, and members of the local temperance union. This Moonshine Tour has become the major fundraiser for the Franklin County Historical Society. While in Franklin County, I visited the Franklin County History Museum, which is housed in the former home of Flora Morris, who donated the home to the historical society. There’s no set admission fee, but donations are greatly appreciated. Here I saw a reproduction of a moonshine still inside, as well as an early 20th century model (though nonworking) outside. I also learned about

the area’s moonshine history, including some historical anecdotes. For example, I found out that many moonshiners burned apple wood, for it apparently didn’t give off much smoke. I was also told that authorities destroyed one still, spilling the contents onto the ground, and much of this was licked up by a farmer’s cow, resulting in a very inebriated cow wandering about. I also learned that one particular moonshiner hid his illegal corn whiskey under his babies’ beds, and when his house was about to be searched one night, he said that he’d really hope that the authorities wouldn’t awaken his sleeping children; they didn’t, and his stash wasn’t found. While exploring the Franklin County History Museum in Rocky Mount, I was given the “moonshiner’s snack,” which turned out to be a bottle of Coke with a bag of peanuts placed into it. It wasn’t bad. I also learned that the museum also hosts a “Ghosts and More Bus Tour” each October. Indeed, moonshine is certainly not the only topic covered in this museum, for there’s a lot of information about the Civil War, and there’s quite a collection of intriguing items from bygone days, including old washing machines, medical equipment, hat stands, farming tools, and a reed pump organ. I even found an old sign from the Department of Health that read: “Spitting on the sidewalk prohibited. Penalty $5.00 to $100.00.” And even before I entered the museum, I found an old Civil War tombstone on the porch, and it caused “quite a stir” in the group that I was with, for it read “John Smith.” Several wanted to take my photo beside this tombstone. While in Franklin County, I also visited the Blue Ridge Institute and Farm

FRANKLIN COACH & TOURS

I tried this “moonshiner’s snack” while in Virginia.

Museum at Ferrum College, and here I found yet another historic moonshine still. I was also told that these old stills are often found up in the hills and along the banks of the county’s mountain streams. Indeed, there’s probably some moonshine manufacturing going on in Franklin County to this very day. After all, the largest still ever found and destroyed in the county was in the 1970s, long after the end of Prohibition, and from 1960 to 1985, about 300 were found and destroyed there. Several books have been published about this phenomenon, including Matt Bondurant’s The Wettest County in the World, which was adapted into the movie Lawless. One county resident explained the crime this way: “I just don’t see that the government has a right to regulate what a man does with his own corn.”

Refreshed Hilton Hall revives MPP’s memories By John Campbell

News - Brighton - When Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi attended the open house at the Hilton Hall Heritage Centre last Sunday afternoon, it brought back memories of how he got started in politics: his name was pulled out of a hat. That’s right, Rinaldi’s long career in municipal and provincial politics might never have happened without that bit of luck in the beginning. It happened in 1992, when a member of Brighton Township council passed away and an election wasn’t scheduled for another two years. “Council of the day decided they were going to appoint somebody, so I was asked to put my name in,â€? Rinaldi recalled. “There were seven people that went the same way.â€? Two of the council members voted for him and the other two for someone else, creating a tie. The clerk suggested putting their names in a hat– and the rest is history. Rinaldi served two years as an appointee, was elected in 1994, and then voted in as deputy-reeve in 1997. A year later, the reeve quit and his colleagues, all “rookies,â€? chose him, as the longest-serving member, to fill the vacancy. “I became instant reeve,â€? he said. After the Town of Brighton and Brighton Township amalgamated in 2000, he was elected the new municipality’s first mayor. Three years later he entered provincial politics, and was elected MPP where he has remained ever since, apart from a twoand-a-half year span when he was out of office until winning his seat back in 2014. Entering the hall March 22 was also a step back in time for Rinaldi, who was “saddenedâ€? he hadn’t been back inside the building since 2000. It’s where he got his basic education in municipal politics. It was “certainly differentâ€? back then from what it is today. “When we had delegations we all sat around one big boardroom table,â€? Rinaldi said. “Decisions were a lot easier then ‌ We were able to accommodate people more on a one-to-

Horse and cutter ride a dream come true for Island Park resident

Hazlewood. In 2012, 91-year-old Helen RodNews - Campbellford - Making dreams come true for residents at gers had her dream come true with Island Park Retirement Community an airplane ride high above Trent is a goal of the Lifestyle Consul- Hills. For Jean Taylor, who is 85 years tant/Director of Recreation Krista

young, her dreams are more ďŹ rmly planted on the ground as she voiced her desire to take a wintery ride on a cutter. “During a conversation with some of the residents at Island Park

it was brought to my attention that a horse and cutter ride would fulďŹ ll a dream. Easy enough one would think. However it took two years for this to be put in place,â€? Krista told the Trent Hills Independent. Finally after searching everywhere she found Bev Grills, of Grillsdale Farm near Campbellford, who is a local farmer and just happens to own a horse and a cutter. But sometimes the best dreams take a little while to make happen. “There was a short delay with this dream as the horse had not been pulling or been ridden for some time because she had a lame foot. Bev worked very hard with an Amish family to get ‘Dolly’ up and running in order to pull the cutter. With the sudden rise in temperature this also put a bit of a rush on the project,â€? she explained. During this process Krista learned from Jean the difference between a cutter and a sleigh. “A cutter is like a little convertible sports car and a sleigh is like a long limousine,â€? she said grinning. Jean’s love for horses began as a child. She remembers her father taking her to Sunday School on a horse. Later, as an adult, she and a friend would go horseback riding once a week. She recalls going on A horse and cutter ride this winter was a dream come true for Island Park residents Jean Taylor, who at 85, was able to enjoy vacation and horseback riding along the something she remembers doing as a child. Bev Grills, of Grillsdale Farm, near Campbellford, supplied the horse and cutter and beaches or in the plantations in Missouri adventure for this spunky senior.

What an Honour, To Be a Caregiver

In loving memory of a loving Dad and Poppa He never looked for praises, He never was one to boast, He just went on quietly working For the ones he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken, His wants were very few, And most of the time his worries Went unspoken too. He was there a firm foundation, Through all our storms of life, A sturdy hand to hold onto, In times of stress and strife. A true friend we could turn to, When times were good and bad, One of our greatest blessings The man that we call Dad and Poppa Remembered forever, Kevin, Jessica, Rob, Tammy and grandchildren
