Getting to do cool things

By John Campbell

News – Campbellford – The decision on where to build another bridge in town, beside the existing structure or downstream at Second and Alma streets, shouldn’t be left in the hands of politicians, a long-time Trent Hills resident said last Saturday.

“Present it to the people and let them vote,” Susan Summerfeldt told members of Northumberland County’s bridge steering committee at a public information centre held at the high school.

The retired educator who has lived in Trent Hills for more than 35 years said local residents made Campbellford their home because “it’s small (and) intimate,” and “to choose a bridge for this town is a very personal thing, people are passionate about it.”

That passion was on display at times during the hour-long question period that followed a 30-minute presentation by transportation planner Don Drackley who explained why his company, IBI Group, has concluded it’s better to build a Second Street bridge than to erect one beside the bridge downtown.

About 155 people showed up for his presentation on the pros and cons of each, with the second alternative being judged superior in most respects, based on the criteria used to evaluate the two options. There were six areas looked at: transportation, cost, and the social, cultural, natural and economic environments at each site.

Collaboration supported

By John Campbell

News – Northumberland County – The county and its seven member municipalities will continue to work on ways to share services and save costs, but amalgamation or annexation won’t be among them.

“Municipal structural change does not guarantee cost savings or service improvements,” and it “can be a politically charged process,” said a report prepared by the Northumberland CAOs’ Committee whose recommendations were adopted by county council March 19.

The committee’s eight chief administrative officers pointed out in their report, Achieving More Cost Effective Municipal Government Across NorPlease see “Public” on page 3 thumberland County, that the county

and the seven municipalities, in whole or in part, already work together or are looking to collaborate in 236 service areas.

More than 100 partnerships involving tourism, fire, economic development, finance, information technology, planning, transportation and more are already in place.

“The extent of the work being done currently can leave no doubt as to the commitment to collaboration of the administrations of the County and member municipalities,” the CAOs said. “These ongoing efforts to improve efficiencies and gain greater levels of effectiveness are anticipated to flourish with the positive encouragement of our elected representatives.”

Farmers, students speak out against college closures

By Sue Dickens

Arlene Dorland, president of the Northumberland Federation of Agriculture, has grave concerns about the closure of Kemptville and Alfred College agricultural campuses. Dorland plans to bring up the topic at a “meet and greet” being hosted by former Liberal MPP Lou Rinaldi at the Community Living Building in Campbellford on Thursday, March 27, from 6 to 8 p.m. Photo: Submitted

News – Trent Hills – The recent announcement that the University of Guelph will be closing its Kemptville and Alfred College campuses by the end of 2015 is “a slap in the face of agriculture in Eastern Ontario,” says a local farmer.

“Students from central and eastern Ontario rely on Kemptville as an option for agricultural training, not to mention that it is close to their homes and farms and allows them to work at their home farms on the weekends and not have to travel great distances to Guelph or Ridgetown to study agriculture,” Lori Caughey said.

She and her husband Ben Godden operate a dairy farm southeast of Campbellford and raise hogs for sausages they sell at the Campbellford Farmers Market.

“There are lots of Kemptville grads in the area,” said the mother of four daughters, who is also a 4-H leader, school council past president and fair board director who was accepted into the Advanced Agricultural Leadership Program of the Rural Ontario Institute.

“The closure is pretty pathetic,” said Bryce Seaborn, a Kemptville student who

will be graduating in 2015.

The first one in his family to go to the college, he’s enrolled in the Associate Diploma in Agriculture program which focuses on the primary production industry of crops and livestock, while also providing skills required for employment within the farm supply sector.

“We’ll be losing a lot of history, it’s been open for almost 100 years. Farming is never going to go away and people got to eat so it is an industry that should not die,” said Seaborn, who had the Grand Champion calf at the Royal Winter Fair last year, and chaired a major purebred Holstein show on behalf of Kemptville College last month..

“Going to Guelph from this area would be a long haul and I usually come home on weekends.”

He works part-time on his uncle’s farm in the Campbell-

ford area.

Arelene Dorland, president of the Northumberland Federation of Agriculture, highlighted this point.

“A number of these students ... going to Kemptville will go home on weekends to help on their family farms or have part time jobs to put themselves through school. If you are in Ridgetown, that’s too far away to do that. To me it is just another example of eroding the agricultural world,” she said.

“Education is every bit as important to farming, even moreso now, than years ago.

Technology has been growing hand over fist and innovation is the new big topic. We need these schools to encourage innovation and continuing education.

“I believe there are a number of students (after the closure) who will go to McGill and a few to Guelph and the odd one will venture to

Ridgetown, but the majority from here won’t go.”

Dorland plans to bring up the topic at a meet-and-greet being hosted by former area Liberal MPP Lou Rinaldi at the Community Living building in Campbellford on Thursday, March 27, from 6 to 8 p.m. Rinaldi plans to run again in the next provincial election.

MPP NorthumberlandQuinte West Rob Milligan

issued a statement calling the planned closure of two agricultural campuses in Eastern Ontario “a devastating blow to the province’s agri-food industry.”

The Ontario Federation of Agriculture has a working committee that is meeting to discuss the pending closure and to look at solutions, such as trying to find another community college where the training can continue.

Norlock supports Canada Post plan

By Sue Dickens

News – Campbellford – A ramped-up campaign by the Canadian Union of Post Workers (CUPW) opposing the elimination of all doorto-door mail delivery has brought the issue to the forefront in this region.

The union has accused MPs Rick Norlock (Northumberland-Quinte West) and Daryl Kramp (Prince Edward-Hastings) of voting in favour of cutting Canada post services and raising prices. CUPE has publicized their contact information and posted a letter online that people can use to demand that the Crown corporation scrap its five-year plan.

Norlock told the Independent Monday he “voted in favour of the direction that Canada Post is going in.”

He said he didn’t support an NDP motion back in January, which called mail delivery a “valuable service,” because “it would have put the taxpayer on the hook.”

Taxpayers do not currently fund Canada Post, and he wants to see it stay that way, he said.

“Ninety per cent of your readers do not get home delivery,” he said, but without the five-year plan in place, “your readers who will be reading this article would be subsidizing the one-third of Canadians that do get home delivery.”

Parliament, “acting on behalf of the shareholders (taxpayers), said that Canada Post should operate at break even or, better still, at a profit ... just enough profit to keep reinvesting to make itself a modern operation so it would not be reliant on taxpayers,” he said.

“There’s been a huge decline in the use of the post office, yet the same number of people are working,” he added.

Norlock, who lives in the country near Warkworth, talked about the future of rural post offices.

“One of cheapest ways to send packages is parcel post and the service of the post office is not free so if people don’t purchase stamps and send by mail the existence

of that post office is in jeopardy.”

Responding to one of CUPW’s points that eliminating door-to-door delivery will hurt seniors and people with disabilities, Norlock responded: “From what I understand Canada Post is developing systems to accommodate seniors, especially those with disabilities ... Canada Post is working on those plans.”

Trina Elson, president of the CUPW local out of Belleville, said “it’s beneficial to keep door-to-door delivery, it creates jobs, secures jobs, (and) with the economy already going down as it is it would be nice to keep these jobs for our future children . . . We’re struggling as it is.”

Her local represents about 250 members who work in post offices from Picton to Bancroft, Campbellford to Trenton, and Stirling and Frankford.

“Canada Post is profitable, it is making money,” Elson said. “Canada Post has to make changes but cutting service door-to-door is not that change.”

Elson speculates that if Canada Post is “willing to take door-to-door away from urban centres then in five years what’s going to stop them from taking away rural delivery as well.”

Norlock said “there are no plans to stop it at this time.”

Public to decide on on bridge location

when the bridge steering committee votes on the consultant’s recommendation April 25, that it be done by secret ballot.

The issue has “dragged on for nearly seven years (and become) so controversial,” that “it has caused a considerable amount of upset in the community,” she said. “In some cases people are afraid to talk about or take sides on the issue because their businesses or their relationships with friends and coworkers may suffer.”

Brown said members of the steering committee “need to be able to vote freely according to their conscience.”

Second Street resident Brenda Kotras said putting a bypass through “vibrant, residential neighbourhoods” where there are recreational areas and apartment buildings with “lots of pedestrian traffic,” to accommodate trucks and cars passing through Campbellford will increase “the potential for tragic accidents.”

Drackley said the Second Street alternative offers “the best long-term benefits to this community.”

“We’re not going to wish this problem away,” Mayor Hector Macmillan said. No matter what the cost or how much traffic will be crossing the river, the existing bridge needs to be replaced when it reaches the end of its service life, in 20 to 30 years, he said.

Bonnie Wilson was the lone person among the 13 people who asked questions to show support for the consultant’s preferred option. The apartments on either side of the bridge are an eyesore, she admitted, but they do provide housing for people who “are not well-off,” and the occupants, especially single people, will have trouble finding accommodations elsewhere if the buildings are torn down to accommodate a twinned bridge.

Property-owners on Second and Alma streets will be compensated for the loss of their homes or adverse impacts while tenants downtown “will be getting nothing but the boot,” she said.

Wilson said the bridge issue has been “studied to death” and “too much money has been spent” on the subject.

Mobushar Pannu, the county’s director of transportation and waste management told Wilson that the combined fees of the various consultants that have worked on the project since 2008 add up to more than $800,000.

Alan Clough said IBI”s projection of a slight but steady increase in traffic volume over the bridge is “totally absurd,” when the trend across North America is a decline in the number of vehicle miles travelled.

Des Conacher said Campbellford “is going to get de-

stroyed” if a bridge is put on Second Street where there are designated heritage properties. He pointed out Trent Hills official plan says development “should consider and reflect the character and the streetscape of the area. I say a bridge that size ain’t gonna respect that street.”

After the steering committee meets, it will be left to the councils of Trent Hills and Northumberland County to make their decision in June.

A formal notice that the environment assessment has been completed will be is- Mary Brown was the first of 13 people to address the bridge steering committee in the question period that concluded the sued, followed by a 30-day public information centre March 22.

County supports collaboration, not amalgamation Continued from page 1

The endorsement they sought was unanimously given by council which had asked last October for an informational report on ways to cut costs in the face of rising costs and inconsistent funding among the challenges it faces. The initial motion offered as one possible solution amalgamation that could result in single-tier government, East and West Northumberland, or clusters of municipalities.

However, five municipalities – Trent Hills, Brighton, and the townships of Cramahe, Hamilton, and Alnwick-Haldimand – subsequently passed resolutions saying they did not support “any

discussions regarding changes to the current municipal governance structure.”

County council simply referred the resolutions to the CAOs without offering further direction.

“We think we should continue focusing on where we think we can actually increase effectiveness through collaborative opportunities,” Northumberland CAO Elizabeth Savill said in presenting the committee’s report.

The report listed numerous areas where discussions on collaborative efforts are ongoing, including bylaw enforcement, animal control, fire dispatch, library services, human resources, coun-

ty-wide policing, and recreational programming.

“Not all projects will reduce service costs but desirable improvements or enhancements may nonetheless result,” Savill told council. Every effort will be made to provide “greater benefit to residents and property taxpayers.”

The CAOs committee committed to providing annual reports on the progress being made, with the first one scheduled for October.

Council members thanked the committee for its report and recommendations.

Alnwick-Haldimand Mayor Dalton McDonald said the province is “bailing” on the level of

funding it provides municipalities, so they will have to look to each other for support.

“We do not sustain ourselves on our own without partnerships,” he said. However, county councillors will have to “sell the comfort level” for such arrangements to their own councils and taxpayers, who are “leery” about sharing services with other municipalities, fearing “they will take us for a ride ... It’s something we’re really going to have to work on in the next few years.”

Cobourg Mayor Gil Brocanier echoed his colleagues’ comments, saying the committee did “a wonderful job ... I feel really good about moving forward.”

The Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, March 27, 2014 3

The Fonz’s spirit lives on in Havelock

Sports – Havelock-BelmontMethuen – Bill “The Fonz” Davis has been gone six years but his hockey-loving spirit permeates the Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Community Centre on Wednesday and Friday nights when oldtimers’ hockey takes centre stage.

“We haven’t forgotten about him,” says long-time friend and hockey buddy Doug “Mugger” Hart who presented the William Davis Memorial Trophy to Jason Vilneff Saturday afternoon during the annual year-end hockey tour-

ney that brings together the 35plus players who enjoy the community’s recreational shinny.

The trophy is a lasting tribute to Davis from the men who keep recreational old-timers’ hockey going in the township.

Hart says Vilneff was selected because he represents the passionate hockey-loving character that epitomized the Fonz.

“He played every Wednesday and Friday night. He never misses.

He’s a dedicated guy,” Hart said of Vilneff. “He’s won trophies from day one; he’s a good representa-

tive.”

Davis was like that, too, he says, playing over 30 years every Friday night and always the first on the ice.

“If he were alive today he’d be here today.”

Davis was part of the first Havelock team to win an Ontario Minor Hockey Association title, bringing his fearless blue-line style to the 1973 juvenile team that knocked off Lucknow for the OMHA’s D title. The OMHA championship is one of six Havelock teams have won since 1952 when the juveniles

lost the C final to Georgetown.

The Fonz died suddenly at the age of 54 six years ago. His loss is also memorialized with a cross on Anderson Road which Hart says was recently vandalized. The cross will be replaced with another one donated by hockey comrade Ken King.

“He was one of those good guys who went too young,” Hart recalled last year as he remembered his 35 years of on-ice battles with his old fishing friend.

“He was the glue of the first all-Ontario championship Havelock ever won,” Hart said at the time. “He was a tough, hardhitting defenceman. He was the glue of that team.”

“The Davis family is pretty happy that nobody has forgotten about him,” Hart said Saturday afternoon. “The legacy is there. Every town has a few trophies and this one for the men is his.”

Hart, the township’s manager of parks and recreation, said this was probably his last year playing pickup hockey after 42 years of playing, coaching and running youth clinics.

“Two or three times a week, that’s a long

time. I will still probably work a little bit with the kids next year.

It’s pretty hard to completely walk away. I still enjoy it, being out with the guys; that’s recreational hockey and we’ve got to

keep it going. The competitiveness and skills are still there no matter how old they are. You don’t lose it.”

“When I retire these guys won’t forget about the Fonz.”

through an act of vandalism.

“I just can’t see a garden at a professional site,” he said.

Nourish Committee chair Les Morris disagrees. He said the Old Norwood Road site is too “remote” and “isolated” and not within walking distance, which is a key element to the plan. The committee stands to receive some funding from the YWCA that will cover a substantial amount of the costs but accessibility is crucial, Morris noted.

“It’s going to be a very exciting project for the community and I think everybody recognizes that.”

There are several successful community gardens in the county and city and they’re successful because “they are in the community close to the population,” he said. “A community garden is a community event; it needs to be in the community.”

The alternative site “isn’t anywhere near town,” said Morris. “It’s out in the middle of a field; people wouldn’t be able to get to it easily. It just isn’t in the community. I don’t think it’s at all suitable for a garden.

There is very little enthusiasm for that.””

The medical centre is “more visible and easier for families to get to. The garden would be

more apparent to the community as a whole.”

Visibility would deter potential vandals, he added.

“What does community mean to you?” asked committee member Amanda O’Rourke. “If you place it on the outskirts of town it is a direct reflection of what you feel about the community.”

“The community part of this is so important,” said deputymayor Andy Sharpe, a Nourish member. He acknowledged the concerns surrounding the medical centre site but said it still has “lots of merit.

“I’m satisfied there’s enough area back there for what needs to be done.”

“Next to the medical centre is absolutely ideal,” Cathy Dueck said. “Visually, this will be a feather in the community’s cap, a source of pride.”

Rather than make a “jump decision,” councillor Jim Martin said they should talk to people at the centre.

“We need to make the right decision,” he said “It’s a very positive opportunity for this group and the community,” said mayor Ron Gerow. “I know there are concerns on (both sides). I believe there is more work to be done; to make an informed decision we need a little bit more time.”

News – Campbellford – The hardy bright yellow daffodils will be arriving early this year in spite of an unusually cold and stormy winter as the Campbellford Branch of the Canadian Cancer Society gets ready for its spring fundraising campaign.

Daffodil pins replaced the live perennials a couple of years ago to help cut costs while still using long lasting symbol of the fight against the deadly disease.

Lida Berger, who is now busy telephoning the volunteers in preparation for this year’s campaign, is a cancer survivor.

“I’ve had cancer so I know what it’s like

and I really wanted to do something nice for the Cancer Society by helping to volunteer,” she told The Independent.

She and Sandra Graham have organized the volunteers for the campaign for many years.

“We have close to 70 or 80 volunteers who help us.”

The volunteers will be asking for donations in exchange for daffodil pins at several locations in Campbellford, including No Frills, Sharpe’s Food Market, Giant Tiger and

the three banks, TD-Canada Trust, Bank of Montreal and the Royal Bank.

“These volunteers are all friends of the Cancer Society,” said Lynn Forgrave, pastpresident of the Campbellford branch. He has been involved with the local organization for a decade or more.

His office, Forgrave Financial, at 39 Doxsee St. South, has always been headquarters for both the daffodil campaign and the annual Trent Hills Relay for Life event which is usu-

ally held in September.

The society depends on the money raised for much-needed research and the support and information it provides people with cancer and their family, friends and caregivers.

“What is particularly important as well is the ability to drive patients to their source of treatment,” Forgrave added.

The society relies on volunteer drivers to help transport cancer patients.

“Last year millions of dollars was spent on transportation. Our costs are more because patients from here have to go a long distance for treatment, to either Kingston or Toronto and some to Peterborough and Bel-

leville,” Forgrave explained.

He admitted the increasing cost of gas doesn’t help the situation so the annual campaign is very important.

“We are always looking for volunteers to help with our annual campaign,” Berger said.

The campaign takes place Thursday, April 3, Friday, April 4 and Saturday, April 5.

“We won’t of course be campaigning at the banks on Saturday because they are

closed,” Forgrave noted. “We made about $2,500 last year and we are hoping to do the same if not better this year.”

Volunteer orientation and training is provided by the Canadian Cancer Society. Anyone interested is asked to call Lynn Forgrave at 705-653-2528.

The Canadian Cancer Society says about two in five Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetimes and one in four will die of the disease.

BGH opens new surgery space touch-screen monitors and customizable and re-adjustable equipment stations.

“The rooms can accommodate any of the surgical applications that this hospital has,” he explained of the customizable nature of the new operating rooms. “It allows for the schedulers to have pretty much unlimited flexibility - there’s no logistical issues whatsoever.”

Additionally, there are some interesting education possibilities now available as a result of the new depart-

ment. Each of the operating rooms are equipped with in-light cameras that allow for filming of procedures, and three large monitors placed around the room can be configured to show what the camera sees for someone who might be watching the surgery. BGH performs some 7,000 surgeries a year, and the first surgery in the new department is scheduled for April 7.

“Sometimes when you’re in an operation and you’re deep in the abdominal cavity

or the pelvis, you can’t see what’s happening if you’re just kind of peeking over from where the nurses are standing,” Leal said. “The ability to display that for students is a great teaching aid.”

In all, the new nearly 30,000 sq. ft. department cost $12 million. The redevelopment also includes two additional surgery rooms that have yet to be equipped, bringing the possible total number of operating rooms at BGH to eight.

The new development is part of an overall BGH redevelopment project that began in 2007 and has seen a number of improvements and redesigns to the Sills Wing, the Intensive Care Unit and the emergency department, among other departments at the hospital. The move of the cardiology department from its current location will mark the end of the redevelopment and is expected to take place in June of this year.

News – Belleville – The opening of a new perioperative department at Belleville General Hospital (BGH) last week has administrators and staff beaming about the care possibilities available at BGH. Quinte Health Care executives were on hand at BGH on March 19 to help open and provide tours of the new department, which provides six new operating rooms as well as pre- and postsurgical care areas to facilitate a more efficient, comfortable experience for patients and their families.

“I think everyone will see how bright, spacious and welcoming this new area is, and when our patients see the new space they will be at ease knowing that we have the best and most up-to-date technologies and care available close to home,” said Mary Clare Egberts, QHC president and CEO. One of the largest differences between the new operating rooms and the old is the amount of space available for surgeons, explained surgery program medical director Greg Leal. The new operating rooms are two to three times the size of the old operating rooms, which they replace, and are filled with cutting-edge medical equipment that simply was not available when the old operating rooms were constructed some 60 years ago.

“This has been 14 years in the making for me,” Leal said. “When I first came here there was talk of new operating rooms and now it’s a reality.”

Of the six new operating rooms, four are equipped to become minimally invasive surgical (MIS) suites while the remaining two are for general surgery, although they also have the potential to become MIS in the future.

Visitors were given a look inside operating room 5 during the tour, where Olympus regional vice-president Curtis Miles gave a hands-on demonstration of some of the equipment inside, including

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Enough is enough Dear Editor I feel like Prime Minister Harper is doing it yet again, talking out of both sides of his mouth. How much longer are Canadians going to sit back and take his dictator-like government? I have been watching the whole veterans’ situation unfold and I can’t believe how two-faced our Prime Minister is. This past week we had the last of our troops return from the mission in Afghanistan. I am grateful for their service, a fight we should never have been involved in on the front lines at all. We lost 158 Canadian soldiers during the Afghan war. Hundreds more have severe physical and psychological injuries.

Mr. Kramp was on hand to welcome the soldiers back and that was a good thing. Mr. Harper met the soldiers in Ottawa and declared May 9th to be a day to commemorate these soldiers and all they fought for. Then Mr. Harper, who has decided to cut services to our current veterans who fought in WW I, WWII, the Korean War, etc., stated the Federal Government owes nothing to these veterans. Are you serious?

Maybe Mr. Harper forgets this country’s freedoms and rights were built on the blood and sweat of these men and women. We would not be in the position we are in if they had not fought for you, me and him. How can he say one thing and do another? They have taken away most support systems for soldiers suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), shell shock whatever you want to call it. There have been at least six soldiers found dead from what appears to be suicide.

The CBC’s National News on March 18 reported two more Canadian soldiers committed suicide just last week. Services they need are being cut by our federal government so our veterans are being cast aside without the help they require.

I know as a Canadian citizen I am both shocked and appalled by what conservatives are doing. I had grandparents and great grandparents, great aunts and uncles that fought in these wars. My cousin did two tours in Desert Storm and had a foster brother in Afghanistan. I am angry knowing my relatives have done all this for a country we all love, only to have our federal government turn their back on them.

It is time we stood up and said enough is enough. We need to let Mr. Harper know we have had enough and our veterans are important to Canada and we should be there to offer any support we can give them.

We must do more to catch corporate tax cheats

Dear Editor There has been a growing movement of authors disgusted with the level of tax avoidance by large corporations, all of which has to be made up by the rest of us. A recent post by Pete Evens in January this year exposed the “double Irish with a Dutch sandwich” scam, which saved Google a cool six billion dollars in taxes during the last three years. All the while we are told by conservative financial gurus that cutting taxes for corporations and the rich will magically create jobs and lure investment. The USA is now complaining that Canada, if not already, is on the road to being a tax haven. Our finance minister talks about cracking down on tax cheats but after pointing a finger at “environmental criminal charities” and targeting eight million for auditing these groups, has actually cut 3,000 workers at CRA. Treating a bruised head is of little use unless you stop banging it against the wall. One major

factor in this dwindling source for our social programs as well as the ongoing attack on the environment is the corporation’s act. The main focus of the act is the “maximization of profit”.

A couple of Chicago school lawyers go so far as to claim that if a company can increase profit by breaking the law, it should do so: is mandated to do so under the act.

Pollution, human rights and yes even tax fairness do not warrant an appearance in the act.

How could our corporate/political leaders have missed this omission? Was it tucked inside a huge Omnibus bill perhaps? In any case surly it is high time the corporation’s act was re-visited and not by a committee of corporate lawyers, but by some one committed to guarding the public good. This used to be the mandate of “Government” acting as a buffer between the powerful and Canadian citizens.

Our government now considers big business as its “clients”, the rest of us as cannon fodder.

In the meantime we could raise Canada’s tax rate to that of the USA, plug a bunch of the loopholes built into the system and re-instate those Canada Revenue employees recently tossed out of work, putting them all to work on ferreting out Canadian links to tax havens around the globe. Audit Analytics found that US money moved offshore in 2013 had reached nearly two trillion. With more and more of Canadian business being sucked into transnational companies, some of that would have been taxed here a few years ago.

In 2012 the Cayman Islands received more direct foreign “investment” than Japan. In one building the only tenant was a law firm, but it was the mailing address for 18,800 foreign companies. Many of these tax havens are under British rule, which should make it easier to deal with if there were a will to do so.

Consumers are a bit short

Dear Editor Do you get the impression that the people that sell us goods and services believe that the average consumer is a bit short of a full deck?

For example: “Let us renovate your kitchen, or bathroom, and our gift to you is a large screen T.V.,” or “seniors never pay taxes,” or “the initial price on this item was to be $99.99 but call in the next 10 minutes and its yours for $19.99 followed by ‘but wait,’” or “insure with any insurance company in Canada and save

$300.00,” or how about “buy three tires and get one free.”

All companies should refrain from the words sale, save and free.

Because at the end of the day my credit card shows I owe a pile of money and my bank account says I have saved absolutely nothing.

Nigeria: Is 100 years enough?

Editorial - The reason they convened a National Conference to discuss Nigeria’s future last week is that it’s the hundredth anniversary of the unification of the northern and southern protectorates into one nation. Well, one colony, actually, since the whole place would remain under British rule for another half-century. And the one subject the delegates are banned from discussing is whether unification was really such a Gwynne Dyer good idea.

It was an excellent idea from the viewpoint of the British colonial administrators, of course.

Not only was it tidier, but it crippled resistance to British rule.

When you force five hundred different ethnic groups with as many languages into a single political entity, they will spend more time fighting one another than the foreigners. (Even Nigeria’s name was invented by the British.)

A century later, the country is still riven by ethnic and religious divisions that distort both its politics and its economy.

Nigeria is one of the world’s biggest oil producers, but twothirds of its 170 million people live on less than $2 a day and even the big cities only get electricity four hours a day.

It ranks 144th on Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index, which means in practice that most public funds are stolen.

In the mainly Muslim north, an extremist Islamic insurgency by a group called Boko Haram (“Western Education is Forbidden”) killed more than 1,300 people in the first two months of this year. Or rather, they and the brutal and incompetent army units who respond to their attacks with indiscriminate violence together accounted for 1,300 lives.

And when Lamido Sanusi, the internationally respected head of Nigeria’s central bank, accused the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) of failing to repatriate $20 billion of the $67 billion received for oil sales between January 2012 and July 2013, President Goodluck Jonathan suspended him for “financial recklessness and misconduct.”

“Failing to repatriate” actually means that the money stayed abroad and disappeared into the foreign bank accounts of powerful Nigerians. This is normal: it has been estimated that two-thirds of the $600 billion that Nigeria has earned in the past fifty years from selling its oil was lost to corruption by the political and business elite. What was unusual was for a member of the elite to challenge the practice openly.

Sanusi, who was named Central Bank Governor of the Year in 2010 by Banker magazine, was promptly accused of links to Boko Haram in a document circulated to Nigerian websites that was traced back to President Jonathan’s social

media adviser. It was a typical establishment response, and it was total nonsense. But a depressing number of southern Nigerians will believe almost anything about Sanusi simply because he is a northern Muslim.

He is actually a member of the northern aristocracy – his grandfather was the emir of Kano – and an Islamic scholar who condemns Wahhabist fundamentalism. He is one of Nigeria’s foremost advocates of a tolerant, inclusive Islam: “Even a cursory student of Islamic history knows that all the trappings of gender inequality present in the Muslim society have socio-economic and cultural, as opposed to religious roots,” he said recently.

Yet the mistrust between Muslims and Christans, northerners and southerners, is so great that Sanusi’s whistle-blowing is seen by many southerners as a political operation aimed at the Christian president. They believe this even though they also know that the money really was stolen by people at the NNPC, and that Goodluck Jonathan is protecting them because some of it was going to be used to finance his re-election campaign next year.

And why does Jonathan need so much money? To buy the support of the northern power-brokers, who will then deliver the votes to keep him in the presidency. Then he will be able to go on protecting his friends. It’s a closed system, and it’s making Sanusi more radical by the moment.

Recently he told the Guardian: “If the population as a whole starts protesting what is going on in our country, how many of them can they kill?” He added that the ousted leaders of Ukraine and the Arab spring nations “never did half as much damage to their countries as our rulers have.”

But Sanusi is unlikely to bring the system down. That is why, at the National Conference on Nigeria’s future that meets in Abuja over the next three months, some people will certainly defy the ban and start talking about re-dividing Nigeria between north and south. They will mostly be southerners, who resent the large amounts of oil income that the federal government transfers to the northern states that desperately need the money.

Northerners will fiercely resist the idea of partition because they would be left running a country only slightly better off than Mali. (Despite the transfers of oil revenue, 72 percent of the population in the North lives in poverty; in the South, only 27 percent does.) And in the end, nothing will happen, because cutting off the North would spoil the game.

Nigeria is unquestionably the most dysfunctional large country in the world, but it will hang together because all the elites benefit from the dysfunction, which allows them to steal massive amounts with complete impunity. Indeed, you might say that Nigeria survives because it is dysfunctional.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Spying breaches our privacy rights Dear Editor I am writing to express my disgust at the government and its “spy” agency CSEC (Communications Security Establishment Canada). I am very concerned about how government spying has grown secretive, expensive, and out-of-control.

It’s just been revealed that an independent inquiry has found guilty of misusing public funds and “serious breaches” of values and ethics. I’ve been upset and shocked to learn how they are using taxpayer dollars to spy on innocent Canadians. We know they spied on thousands of law-abiding airport travelers, and even tracked their movements for weeks after.

The type of data CSEC is collecting on us can reveal everything from our financial status, to our medical history, our sexual orientation, and even our religious and political beliefs. Does this scare you?

If it doesn’t it should. With the ease and proliferation of

hacking these days, any cyber-criminal, any despot or fascist politician in any country, can use this information against you in the future. I understand data mining information can be kept for 15 years. We have no idea who will be in power then, or what their agenda will be. CSEC is working in partnership with the USA’s NSA.

Cardiac recovery improves but more needs to be done

By Bill Freeman Editorial - It’s been almost 11 months to the day that I had my very close and totally unexpected brush with death on a day like any other but one that ended with me stripped out of my running gear and unconscious, intubated, and in an ORNGE ambulance on my way to Toronto General Hospital after an earlier ambulance trip to Peterborough Regional Hospital and its lifesaving cardiology facility.

That ten-minute ambulance ride to PRHC and the emergency Percutaneous Cardiac Intervention (PCI) procedure performed by Dr. Eric Horlock was absolutely critical, so was his assessment of a dysfunctional mitral valve and the decision to send me on to Toronto for more attention.

The fact that I had also gone into cardiogenic shock added to the cascade of woe. Yet here I am alive and well and power-walking up a storm, able to do around ten Ks in a one-hour stretch. I’m one of the lucky ones, a member of an increasingly larger group of survivors who got the prompt care they needed.

But I’m also one of a much smaller group of people who embarked on a supervised cardio rehabilitation program then stuck with the plan under nothing more than my own guidance and determination to move myself further away from the Grim Reaper.

There is a portion of my heart’s functioning that’s not going to come back; I know that and have the cath chart to prove it so I’ve accepted that reality. But there are ways to make what exists as strong and healthy as possible and that’s what I am doing with my own personal rehabilitation regime which also includes healthy eating, making sure medications are taken and managing stress, the hardest part of all.

Apart from family history (a looming risk factor in its own right) I really don’t fit the typical profile of a cardiac emergency waiting to happen so when I read about hockey players like Rich Peverley, Kris Letang or Jiri Fischer I take notice. They were as surprised as I was.

I’m pretty confident right now that my heart health level, even with the damage done, is better than that of many people who have never experienced a cardiac crisis and have never had their heart pumping strength measured by a battery of tests, examinations and fibre optic probing.

What is remarkable today is that 90 per cent of heart attack victims and 80 per cent of stroke victims who make it to the hospital will survive. I’m one of 165,000 survivors in 2013.

According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s 2014 Report on Health, the death rate from cardiovascular disease has declined by 75 per cent over the past 60 years – 40 per cent in the last decade alone.

Still, there are 350,000 hospitalizations a year in Canada due to heart and stroke – I was one of them – and each year there are 50,000 new cases of heart disease diagnosed, 70,000 heart attacks and 50,000 strokes. Heart and stroke remain two of the three leading causes of death in Canada and yet 80 per cent of premature heart and stroke is preventable.

Cardiac rehabilitation plays a huge role in elevating the positives in the lives of people who have experienced a heart attack or stroke. Studies show that it reduces mortality by at least 25 per cent but the critical disconnect here is that there aren’t enough programs available to those who need them and those that do exist are not funded by public healthcare.

The Report on Health indicates that only one-third of cardiac survivors eligible for rehab are referred to a program; the statistics are even lower for stroke survivors, 19 per cent.

“Rehabilitation cannot reverse all the effects of cardiovascular disease but it supports survivors in innumerable ways,” the Heart and Stroke Foundation report says.

I enjoyed my eight weeks of rehab under the care of a specially-trained emergency room nurse, side-by-side with five other survivors of various ages and experience with exercise and illness. The sessions included talks on a number of related topics like nutrition, stress, medications and cardiac emergencies. There were plenty of kilometres logged watching The Property Brothers on TV. It was a valuable re-entry into the world of activity after such a staggering life-changing event, but the programs are rare and not easily accessible.

I was the one asking about rehab while lying in ICU. “There are simply not enough programs and they should be a funded part of the healthcare system. They are not and they should be, after all you do not have to pay for cardiac procedures,” says Dr. Neville Suskin, medical director of the cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention program at St. Joseph’s Health Care in London, Ontario.

Brilliant and timely intervention saved my life; cardiac rehab awakened the possibility of a healthy and active future.

News – Belmont – The Belmont Babes are on a mission.

Split into two teams of four, the Babes are fit and ready to take part in Community Care Peterborough’s fourth annual Kms for Care fundraiser April 27 at Trent University. The two teams will be stepping out in the 5 K run-walk (they’ll be walking) to help raise money for an organization they hold dear to their hearts.

Kms for Care is Community Care’s “signature event” raising in excess of $40,000 last year thanks to the support of more than 500 people who took part in the event. This year Community Care has moved the event from Ennismore to Trent University, incorporating part of the Rotary Trail in the racing route.

Most of the Belmont Babes participate in Community Care Havelock’s very popular wellness program run by Eleanor Cheyne twice a week at the town hall.

“We know the fabulous work they do here for the elderly and supporting people in the community,” says Julie Bearcroft. “We’re very grateful for them for the fitness classes so this is our chance to give back and it was just a bit of fun.”

Along with their entry fees, the Babes are taking pledges for their 5 K adventure.

“Most of us live on the lake; there are a lot of people down in Florida trying to get fit for it (and) they’ll be back in April,” Bearcroft says.

“The (exercise) program is just amazing,” she says. “Eleanor is truly inspirational with the whole holistic approach, not just exercise but also diet, well-being, everything, and we all feel like that, that’s why it’s so popular.”

Bearcroft, a native of England, moved to Belmont Lake two years ago and has been part of the town hall exercise program from its inception.

“I’ve made friends through the program, especially in the winter months; the lake is very much a seasonal place. I definitely feel much fitter and healthier.

It is amazing. Eleanor is the true inspiration for all of us and we thank Community Care for providing it.”

Joining Bearcroft will be Barb Stricker, Laurie Deshane, Brenda Card, Marilyn Liscomb, Ginny Morton, Mary Lou Rodger, Sue Gubb and Karen Moore.

Individuals from the program registered for the 5 K walk are Eleanor Cheyne, Marilyn Davison, Lisa Perry, Margo Cluwen, Carol Wilks, Linda Chopping, Lori Baily and Pat Townshend.

Kms for Care includes a new 10 K run along with a 5 K run/walk, 5 K team challenge and 1 K individual and family fun event. All partici-

pants will receive shirts; 5 K and 10 K participants will receive technical shirts.

The start and finish take place at Trent University’s Otonabee College.

You can register in person at any of Community Care’s eight offices, the Peterborough Running Room at 210 Hunter Street, and at the event on race day, although pre-registration is strongly recommended. You can also register online at www.events. runningroom.com.

Deputy-clerk will be able to perform civil marriages

By Bill Freeman

News – Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – The township’s deputy-clerk will soon be able to perform civil marriages. Council has approved the move and has asked that a bylaw on civil marriage solemnization services be prepared for its next meeting.

HBM CAO/deputy-clerk Pat Kemp said the province’s Marriage Act was amended in 2004 to allow for municipal clerks to perform civil wedding ceremonies to all couples who are legally eligible to marry.

The clerk is allowed to delegate that authority and Kemp said HBM clerk Glen Girven has “no qualms about appointing” the CAO as the person to preside over civil marriage ceremonies.

The next step would be to pass a bylaw “to move forward on this” and to contact the provincial attorney general’s office to “make them aware” that HBM intends to provide this service.

The township can sell marriage licences, with a fee set by the province. Kemp said the fee is around $100.

Township council approved

a charge of $100 for a civil ceremony conducted by the CAO/deputy-clerk.

“The act requires that if a municipality decides to offer a civil marriage solemnization service it must be provided to all couples who are legally eligible to marry,” said Kemp.

“The clerk of a municipality is designated the authority to solemnize marriages under the authority of the license.

The clerk can designate the authority to another individual or staff member but this authority cannot be delegated to a council member.”

Kemp said she performed civil ceremonies during her previous post with the Municipality of Trent Lakes (formerly Galway, Cavendish and Harvey) and has already had three requests in HBM. She performed ceremonies in a variety of places in Trent Lakes, including Crystal Lake, on a farm and in the council chambers.

Girven can perform the ceremony but will happily delegate that authority, said Kemp, particularly in the busy time leading up to the 2014 municipal election.

St. Andrew’s church celebrates St. Patrick’s Day

By Sue Dickens

News – Campbellford – The Donegal Fiddlers Orchestra entertained with some Irish music, beginning with the popular tune “If you’re Irish come into the parlour,” at the St. Patrick’s Day celebration hosted by St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.

“This is the third year for our soup and sandwich lunch which is a fundraiser for the church,” said Betty Leppanen.

“We usually get 100 to 120 people at the lunch,” she added as she watched the hall quickly fill with folks who supported the event by purchasing some of the home baking made especially to sweeten the day and the proceeds for the church.

The kitchen was bustling as the women put the finishing

touches on the sandwiches.

The colour green was everywhere from the table decorations to green icing on cupcakes for dessert.

Many of the guests wore something green too, from green necklaces worn by women to green ties by some of the men.

“Today’s lunch is a celebration of St. Patrick’s Day but it is also a social event, definitely a social event for those attending,” said Leppanen.

The official hostess, Margaret Macmillan, mother of Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, greeted guests with the traditional Irish greeting, “Top o’ the mornin’ to you all,” and invited the crowd to reply “and the rest of the day to yourselves.”

For Frances Watson, who

was there with her friend Cheryl Brown, it was an opportunity to join in the celebration.

“This is my first time coming to the lunch but I go to see the Donnegal Fiddlers all the time,” she said.

“And I’m Irish too . . . my grandfather’s name was Patrick Finnegan so we’re here to celebrate the Irish” she added with a big grin.

The Donegal Fiddlers Orchestra goes back to 2002 when a group of Norwood-area musicians with a passion for traditional old-time music formed a fiddle orchestra.

Over time the fiddlers added vocalists and rhythm and harmony sections. The orchestra’s repertoire also expanded to include Scottish and Irish jigs and reels, Cape Breton Celtic tunes, big band and country dance tunes,

and music for pattern dances.

Members of the group come from places such as Campbellford, Hastings, Havelock, Norwood, Peterborough, Stirling, Westwood and Tweed.

In addition to hosting a monthly dance at Norwood Town Hall, the group performs at community fundraisers, agricultural fairs, summer concerts and festivals, weddings, private functions, and church fundraisers such as the one hosted by St. Andrew’s.

Hospital plans to get more help for emergency department upon discharge “don’t know when to resume regular duties or are confused about what” to do with their medications, and when to see a doctor or specialist. Follow-up calls will be made to ensure they understand “what they should be doing when they go home.”

That was one area in need of strengthening, according to patient satisfaction surveys the hospital routinely conducts.

Survey results for the past year and more were recently presented to the hospital’s board of directors.

“Most things we’re doing well, more pluses than minuses,” Hilker said.

CMH makes use of a quality improvement navigator, which can be viewed online, to track its progress in achieving what it set out to do in the plan. The indicators include two relating to senior friendly care; one has to do with assessing the physical condition of an elderly patient upon admission and monitoring their health “to ensure they’re not deteriorating,” Hilker said.

The other indicator involves assessing patients who are risk

of delirium in order to come up with “the right care plan.”

The hospital is projecting it will end the current fiscal year March 31 with a surplus of $122,500 on a $18.3 million budget, as a result of a one per cent increase in its base funding that it hadn’t counted on receiving.

“That’s really the biggest thing that got us to a surplus,” Hilker said.

The higher funding has been factored into the new budget which predicts a small surplus of $4,000.

CMH continues to look for new ways to generate revenue.

The new parking lot and the sleep labs that began the latter part of 2013 are expected to bring in $29,500 for 2014-15.

The lab operates three nights a week. A technician monitors the breathing of three people with sleeping problems, such as sleep apnea, and the results are interpreted by a specialist in Toronto who devises a plan for their treatment.

“As we get more and more referrals we’d like to get it running five nights a week,” Hilker said.

News – Campbellford – The new Quality Improvement Plan adopted by Campbellford Memorial Hospital includes hiring a second nurse practitioner to reduce wait times in the emergency department.

The first NP it hired, to work Monday to Friday and some weekends, has “definitely helped” in shortening wait times for patients with lower acuity problems, CMH president and CEO Brad Hilker said.

“We’re trying to figure out a way to find the funding or the resources (to hire another one),” he said.

The hospital currently receives $125,000 a year from the province for one NP position.

Wait time reduction is one of five areas where the hospital will be focusing its attention in the coming year. The others are maintaining a balanced budget, improving the patient discharge process to “reduce unnecessary hospital readmission,” ensuring patients are satisfied with their experience while receiving care at CMH, and reducing hospitalacquired infections.

Art comes alive at Legion festival

this Saturday with an open stage performance and into the summer with the legion’s first-ever theatrical production, Soulmates, written by Branch 300 member Lloyd Gaskin.

The festival also included harmonica, ukulele, guitar, and art workshops and a children’s story and craft hour hosted by the Asphodel-Norwood Public Library.

This was the second year for a March exhibition after mixed results in July and organizer Rob Howat, himself a KAGS member, thinks the event is finally “becoming established.”

“I think it’s an advantage because people like to see bright things after the long winter. Hopefully people are going to enjoy the feeling that spring is here and say ‘let’s go out’ and this is an opportunity.”

The exhibition featured 10 artists with work across the spectrum, from large abstracts and landscapes to miniatures and portraiture, and was another public demonstration of the legion’s role in promotSusan Sydney, of Bridgenorth, brought some of her paintings to the Nor- ing the arts. wood Legion Festival of the Arts exhibition.

Entertainment – Norwood After a long and unforgiving winter an infusion of bright colours and lush landscapes is a pleasant change and that’s exactly what visitors to the Norwood Legion Festival of

the Arts got during its launch over the weekend.

The fifth annual festival kicked off with an exhibition featuring a number of local artists along with members of the Kawartha Artist’s Gallery Studio (KAGS) and continues

ed from the initial graphic arts sessions to music and writer’s craft.

“What we’ve done here, I hope, is to show that within our community this legion is the centre for the arts and this is the opportunity (for the public to see that),” said Howat. “We have people with all levels and it gives them the encouragement to develop. We hope that will start some people down that road.”

Howat and Branch 300 have applied for government funding to enhance the stage area. If they are successful he can foresee the branch becoming an even more attractive venue for musical acts. It has already hosted a variety of performers including big-time rockers My Darkest Days, Art of Dying and Robin Hawkins.

“I am excited,” Howat said. “Three years ago we started a writer’s group with one person and now we are putting on our first play. We’re inviting directors from other theatres so who knows where that will go. Things like this take a while to germinate.”

He’s particularly pleased by the library’s participation and says it’s impor-

“They should feel at home here. (The) discipline with a goal in mind that youth devel-

Poetry shines in Norwood Tribes Day a great way to build spirit

By Sue Dickens

News – Warkworth – Snow sculptures, hockey, the luge, biathlon, curling – it all sounds like the Winter Olympics at Sochi but, in fact, it was the annual Tribes Day held recently at Percy Centennial Public School.

“It was really fun. I loved building the snow sculpture.

It was really interesting and creative,” said Grade 7 student Kiera Taylor.

Being members of teams meant “everyone got a fair share of fun,” she added.

“I loved having the opportunity to do this because it gives the students one day off of school but you are still doing awesome things with the whole school. It really brings

us together.”

Percy’s entire student body, approximately 220 children divided among 14 teams, took part in the activities, which included mural making.

“The winter Tribes Activity Day is all about making the most out of our Canadian winter,” said teacher Sandra Allanson-Kelly, who organized the day. “Because the Olympics were going on, too, we were promoting what true Olympics are about.”

All the teachers got involved as well, overseeing the activities.

“It was a great way to build community and school spirit among Percy students, staff, and volunteers,” AllansonKelly said.

Proposed provincial accountability measures a “slap in the face of democracy”

News – Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – Township councillors say Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne’s intention of creating new municipal accountability measures and imposing greater provincial “oversight” on municipal governments is bad news.

“I think our provincial premier could spend her time dealing with some of the other issues that are dear to our hearts,” councillor Larry Ellis said while commenting on a statement by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) criticizing the move.

“Municipalities would be required to either create new processes to receive complaints about service delivery or choose to have service complaints investigated by the

office of Ontario’s Ombudsman,” says an AMO communiqué.

AMO adds that “municipal service complaint processes and investigations carried out by anyone other than the provincial Ombudsman could be subjected to ‘review’ by his office.”

The association says it supports “efficient and credible oversight of municipal services and governance.

“Public trust, accountability, transparency and integrity strengthen municipal government” but it “rejects the Wynne government’s vision of how

best to achieve it.

“Assigning oversight authority to the Office of the Ontario Ombudsman has the effect of transferring local municipal accountability to the province,” AMO argues. “Municipalities are committed to accountability and transparency. Public trust is one of our greatest assets. A municipal government that lacks public trust has every reason to earn it and good government is best served when local municipalities meet that goal independently.”

The provincial government’s proposal suggests it “does not

Belleville joins coalition to eliminate racism

By Steve Jessel

News – Belleville officially joined the Canadian Coalition of Municipalities Against Racism and Discrimination this past Thursday, where Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis was on hand to explain what the designation meant to him as a municipal leader.

"This is something to educate people," Ellis said "This is something to rejoice and celebrate the diversity in our community."

Belleville joins 59 other Canadian municipalities who have also taken the step to eliminate discrimination and racism in their communities, including Kingston and Oshawa. The process to join the coalition was spearheaded by Dr. Aruna Alexander of Belleville, who was also on hand Thursday to help mark the occasion.

"It's about the great ethical leadership this city has shown by voting to join the coalition," she said. "By (joining the coalition), we make an intrinsic connection between respecting religious conscience and attending to the inherent dignity of all people."

The coalition identifies a number of common steps and actions communities

can take to show their commitment to the coalition, including increasing vigilance against systemic and individual racism and discrimination, informing and supporting individuals that have experienced racism and discrimination, providing equal employment opportunities as a municipal employer, supporting measures to challenge racism and discrimination in the housing market and involving citizens by giving them a voice in antiracism initiatives.

"We need to put in place solid elements in the form of committees who are dedicated to working on the issues," said Meghan Brooks, programme officer for the Canadian Commission of UNESCO. "You need to raise community awareness on the coalition and how citizens can get involved, and to have staff and official representatives take the lead and give them airtime."

Joining the coalition allows Belleville to place enhanced focus on combating racism and discrimination in the community, offers opportunities to share practices and resources with other member municipalities and the opportunity to co-operate and share responsibility with other community institutions to take action and monitor progress.

"It's not something that's done overnight," Brooks said. "The fight is a long fight and I pray you have determination to see this through."

“What has been happening in the city is driving a lot of what we are seeing. It’s a sad day when the provincial government is tarring us all with the same brush.”

“It’s just not fair,” he said. “I don’t think the province needs to get involved. I think municipalities have mechanisms to deal with (such things).”

Gerow said municipalities like HBM are “proud of the fact that they are accountable for what we do.

“I can’t always say that about the upper levels.”

Councillor Barry Pomeroy said the provincial government should “stop treating small municipalities this way.

“I can’t believe the Wynne government would make statements like this at this point in the game with an election coming. I think you shoot yourself in the foot,” Pomeroy said.

HBM council passed a motion supporting AMO’s position.

“Municipalities are looking for leadership that partners with municipal government, respects them and believes in them,” AMO stated.

News – Belleville will join hundreds of cities around the world celebrating community pride and livable cities with the second annual Jane's Walk on Saturday and Sunday, May 3 and 4.

The Walk is named for Toronto urban thinker and community activist Jane Jacobs whose 1961 book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, influenced the way people looked at cities and the approach to urban planning.

This now international event was created a year after Jacobs died at 89. Jane's Walk started in Toronto, and the May date honors her birthday. For more information see janeswalk.org.

A group of like-minded people have come together to share Jacobs' vision and invite the community to participate in four themed walks.

Led by volunteers, these walk are free, fun and informative. Some of the discussions and themes will be based on current events such as downtown's Build Belleville initiative. Participants can discuss the importance of communal spaces and mixed use developments, and of health and fitness and how it can contribute to a sustainable environment.

Other topics are local geology and our role as stewards, and the Belleville story south of the tracks.

This Sunday afternoon Foster

Ward walk will be led by Orland French, whose downtown walk last year attracted about 100 community members.

Jane's Walks will highlight some of Belleville's great attractions and cultural elements, while talking to people who live and work in the city's core. Participants will be encouraged to join the conversation and share their own thoughts and hopes for the community. More details will be available soon about each of the four walks and their leaders.

Meanwhile, save the date.

News – Trent Hills – Three men and a woman were charged with production of cannabis resin after police executed a search warrant at a Trent Hills residence March11.

The OPP’s Central East Drug Enforcement Unit assisted by Northumberland OPP located 2.26 kilograms of marijuana that was in the process of being converted into cannabis resin, commonly known as hash oil.

Police said the marijuana had not been completely converted so its exact street value is undetermined; however, one gram of hash oil will sell for $15 to 20.

Jeffrey Percy Fleming, 35 from Central Hasting, was charged with production of cannabis resin and failing to comply with recognizance.

Robert Stephen Schoenmaker, 53, Wendy L. Schoenmaker, 51, and Stephen Jan Schoenmaker, 29, all of Havelock, were each charged with one count of production of cannabis resin.

trust in the capacity of municipal government to expose and address questions about performance and integrity,” AMO adds.

The association also believes this new “layer” of provincial oversight will come at a financial cost to municipalities.

HBM mayor Ron Gerow called it a “slap in the face of democracy.”

He said it was prompted by the high-profile dysfunction that gripped Toronto City council in 2013.

“We are not all the same as the City of Toronto,” Gerow said.

science that really excited them.

The other addition is the large venue.

“It’s been such a huge difference to have this better facility,” Bourassa-Young said.

One of the “highlights,” she says, is that students get a chance to explore part of the curriculum for their grade on their own and then view other projects “to see all these different strands.”

Wandering around the gymnasium, Bourassa-

Young said she saw the enthusiasm as well as the learning curve.

“It’s amazing to see how just doing this one piece of a project has brought those together, first as a science community and, secondly, their own knowledge of how to ask a question in science.”

And on top of that, they come to understand how applied science “affects us in the real world, especially in terms of the environment because that’s one of the key focuses of science.”

The two Grade 3 students joined 123 others at the St. Paul Catholic Elementary School science fair which, for the very first time, brought every student together in one room thanks to the new, spacious gymnasium that’s now part of the school.

“I like science because there’s a lot of things you can do,” Lucy said. “I really like doing experiments and I like working with partners and just finding out facts about experiments. I like it because you get to do a lot of cool things and figure out things; whether or not it works you still figure out things.”

“You get to pick your own topic and talk about it,” added Natasha O’Brien, a Grade 6 student who partnered with Tyannia Huggins to study gravitational force.

“We just wanted to know about other planets,” Tyannia said.

“I enjoy science because it’s lots of fun,” said Grade 2 student Ashlin English who used food colouring and water to colour carnations. “A lot of other people have good projects and it’s good to see them.

“I just like doing stuff with flowers,” she added.

That kind of excitement for science is delightful to hear, says St. Paul teacher Sheilagh Bourassa-Young.

“Kids look forward to this all year and when it’s here they relish it,” Bourassa-Young said. “It is one of the funnest days of the year. It awakens that curiosity that all kids have and gives them a chance to go out on their own and look at their own interests.”

FARMING

Safety For Aging Farmers

Aging is a naturally occurring process that has important implications for agricultural safety and health. Although many senior farmers and farm workers make some allowances for age-related reductions in physical strength, speed, agility, sight and hearing, they can no longer handle some routine work tasks. Injury data and anecdotal evidence suggest that senior farmers become more susceptible to work-related injuries as they move into there 60s. and at dusk or at night. They may work inside darkened becomes less effective in sensing body position and working situations, such as: Age-Related Changes as haymows and grain storage, and climb and descend movement, thereby increasing the potential risk of falls • The manipulation of tractor and machinery controls.

Risk Factors in Farm Fatalities Age-related sensory and physical impairments occur among senior farm operators at various rates. Eyesight, hearing, balance, muscle strength, and reaction time may remain good for some individuals who are well beyond age 65, while becoming significantly poorer in others.

Vision

As a person ages, there is a gradual decline in the ability of the eye to detect normal environmental stimuli. Because visual stimuli create awareness and guide information processing and reactions, impaired eyesight increases risk for senior farmers.

The ability to interact safely with the farm environment is highly dependent on the ability to see objects clearly at different distances, distinguish colors, quickly adapt to changing light conditions, and focus both eyes on an object.

Generally, to see objects as clearly as they did when they were age 20, many 45-year-olds need four times as much light. By age 60, the amount of light required to see clearly is double that needed by 45-year-olds.

Older individuals routinely work in situations with inadequate lighting.

They may operate farm machinery on overcast days

stairs in dimly lit buildings.

Hearing

Another change associated with aging is hearing loss.

All people eventually suffer some hearing loss as a result of aging, ear disease, and exposure to loud noises.

In addition to normal hearing loss, studies suggest that farm workers of all ages have higher levels of noiseinduced hearing loss than the general population.

Such losses result from excessive exposure to loud noise from tractors, field and farmstead machinery, animals, and other sources.

Senior farmers who have difficulty hearing words or sounds may not be able to detect warning signals, such as the sounding of an automobile horn, the approach of a fast-moving animal, or the warning yell of a coworker. Hearing loss in each of these instances may lead directly to a fatality.

Sense of Balance

An individual’s sense of balance is controlled by specialized structures (the vestibular system) located in the inner ear.

The structures provide information about the position of the head and also sense the speed and direction of body movements. With aging, the vestibular system

for older persons.

A vestibular system whose function has been impaired may also result in the sensation of dizziness in some individuals, again putting senior persons at risk for falls.

Some situations in which the loss of balance and a feeling of dizziness increase the risk of injury for senior farmers include: • Driving and other tasks where a feeling of dizziness may affect concentration.

• Walking across an uneven surface such as hay in a haymow, or moving about in a small fishing boat.

• Dizziness or a loss of balance around tractors and farm machinery poses a particularly serious safety risk of seniors falling into moving or unguarded parts of the equipment.

Muscular capability impairment

Flexibility in the joints of the shoulders, arms and legs; adequate muscle strength; and good posture also are important functional criteria for senior farm worker’s safety.

The process of aging causes collagen, the main supportive protein in the skin, tendons, joint cartilage, and connective tissues, to become irregular in shape.

The irregularly shaped collagen may reduce spine flexibility and create pain and discomfort in many

• Lifting, carrying, and loading objects.

• Mounting and dismounting machinery; and climbing up and down stairs.

• Another cause of limited joint movement in senior farmers is arthritis in the joints of the knees, hips, and fingers.

• Reduced capability to move any of these joints may limit a tractor operator’s ability to reach and manipulate controls.

• It also may reduce an operator’s ability to turn his or her head or neck far enough to monitor pulled machinery or check for traffic on the highway before making a turn or changing lanes.

• Reduced muscle strength often compounds joint impairments like arthritis, rheumatism, bursitis, and frozen shoulder.

• Any one of these impairments, or a combination of them, may significantly increase the risk of injury to senior farmers by decreasing and delaying their responses to hazardous situations.

There are benefits that come with age. Older farmers have the wisdom and experience that many younger workers lack. Use the enhanced judgment and skill to compensate for the decreases in reaction time and muscle strength that are inevitable.

“We have an events calendar and interactive map,” he said. “Tourism will drive business.”

He said the council’s site at tourism.bayofquinte. ca is the place to go for information, local listings, and regional activities.

“We have a Facebook page with 12,000 followers,” he added. “We also have a Twitter account.”

Stevenson said 97 per cent of consumers search online for information on regional events and locations.

“We give real-time updates,” he said.

The council is also connected to TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel site, where people can research and rate accommodation, restaurants and attractions with real feedback.

“That site has 260 million visitors a year,” he said. “It can interact with those visitors.”

Doug Whitney asked what if people do not have a computer. Stevenson said there are maps and information available.

The Bay of Quinte tourism area includes Brighton, Quinte West, Belleville, Stirling-Rawdon, Tyendinaga, Deseronto and Prince Edward County.

The next event is the Catwalk Time Machine at the Empire Theatre on Friday, March 28 starting at 6:30 p.m., featuring celebrity models and a silent auction that will raise funds for the second stage of the Three Oaks’ housing project.

Bullying is a community problem ‘The specialists say that when the bullies understand the consequences of bullying, that’s when they change.’

By Ross Lees

News – Quinte West – Bullying is much more than just a problem faced by students.

It’s a societal problem, a community problem, says Jasmin Roy, philanthropist, actor, host, author, director, reporter, columnist, speaker and one of the leaders of the Opération Enfant Soleil Telethon and the creator of the Jasmin Roy Foundation in 2010.

After speaking to students at École secondaire Marc-Garneau he told reporters he wanted the students “to understand the impact of bullying on the human brain and their self-esteem.

“I said to them, it’s not because you have been bullied in your life – like Céline Dion – that you’re not going to be able to have a successful career or be able to accomplish things in life,” he said. “The specialists say that when the bullies understand the consequences of bullying, that’s when they change.

So I don’t talk about the violence, but what that violence caused to me inside.

I had to deal with anxiety problems, depression, even when I was a teenager and as an adult.”

Those problems remain with him and still must be negotiated with as a condition of his life, Roy said.

Roy, who was bullied from a very young age, holds the seminars to try to prevent teenagers from experiencing the same kind of life problems. His

NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN

program has been taught so far mostly in Quebec, but he wants to expand it across Canada.

Students’ reaction to his seminars has often surprised their teachers and principals of the schools, Roy said. He is often advised by them “it will be tough” at their school and then are amazed by the result.

Roy said they often have to stop the seminar before the students are finished asking questions.

“I don’t lie!” he said. “It’s my story and when I talk about all the problems with girls right now, the girls who say ‘slut,’ ‘bitch,’ and ‘whore,’ I think we have a society problem,” he stated.

“It’s more than just bullying. It’s how the young girls deal with their own identity.”

Roy also holds seminars at elementary schools to students in Grade 4 and above. He told of being at one recently and getting questions from students about anxiety and sleeping problems.

He couldn’t believe these issues were being affecting children so young.

His seminar for adults is different from the one he gives to students.

“I still talk about my story, but with the parents, we need to talk about the perceptions because they are used to saying to their children or teenagers, ‘You need to fight back.’ We need to change that mentality. Parents have to work with the school.”

Roy said bullying is sometimes misidentified.

“Some parents say their child was bullied, but it may only be once or twice

a year and if it’s between friends, it’s not bullying but conflict.

Usually bullying is not between friends,” he said.

“Bullying is not only a problem between the victim and the bully,” he continued. “It’s a community problem. You need to work on the community and the school is a microcommunity. You need to work on the ensemble because 99 per cent of the time, the aggression is in front of others. There are more people who are observers than victims or bullies.”

Questions are often asked about suicide. Roy warned it’s an issue that must be dealt with carefully.

“Usually when they commit suicide, they are dealing with more than just bullying. We have to be careful with that. It’s a part of a bigger problem,” he said.

Roy wrote a book about his experiences with bullying as a gay student; at first it was more like homophobia, he said. The second part of his book is about young people today dealing with similar problems.

“After that, I opened my fight to all forms of bullying because I realized it was the same pattern,” he said. “Young people have a problem – anxiety, depression and they’re quitting school, so that’s why I decided to fight, to change this mentality.”

The Trent Hills Regional News published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

HBM will look at enhanced signage for HELP Centre to enhance signage for the Community gram in the township.

Under of the auspices of the City of News – Havelock-Belmont-Meth- Social Plan’s (CSP) HELP Centre which uen – The Township will explore ways has become a core activity for the pro- Peterborough’s Social Services Division the CSP operates HELP Centre services at Havelock Library.

The HELP Centre has its own sandwich board sign at the library but deputy mayor Andy Sharpe says the municipality should be able to do something to help boost the Centre’s visibility and better signage could be the answer.

“I just wondered if there was some way we can enhance what they’re doing?” Sharpe asked. “They’ve been there a long time, I just wondered if there’s some way we can enhance what they’re doing there? (Can) we see if there is any way we can help with promotion there?

They have put in a lot of effort there.”

The CSP has made up its own sign but has “never generally gone beyond that,” said Sharpe.

The HELP Centre is a drop-in service that provides free assistance with things such as community referrals and

supports, employment, childcare, Ontario Works benefits, food and shelter and transportation. The centre is open Thursday afternoons at the Havelock Library from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The CSP also operates HELP Centres at the Norwood Library Monday afternoon (1 to 4:30 p.m.) as well as Buckhorn, Apsley and Trent Lakes.

“The Havelock HELP Centre continues to be a primary activity of the CSP in the township,” said CSP coordinator Chris Kawalec. “Use of the centre continues to grow.”

In 2012 there were 150 visits, an increase from 98 in 2011.

The Havelock Centre is the busiest one operated by the CSP in the county.

Kawalec said that from January to September of 2013 it recorded 150 visits; 45 per cent were for employment services, resume writing, computer use for job searches and email and faxing resumes and other documents. Fifty-five per cent of the visits were for assistance with such things

as hydro disconnections, rental assistance and affordable housing, services for seniors, transportation, dental programs, family court, home repair difficulties, referrals to other services like counselling and inquiries about library services.

Township CAO Pat Kemp said the municipality promotes the centre and its services on its website and will work with staff on a report about new signage for the HELP Centre at the library.

The sign would be mobile for use when the centre is open.

Josh Lavigne and Tamara Bricknell offer up a colourful drink during the BGHF gala announcement at Amica at Quinte Gardens on Thursday. Photo: Steve Jessel News – Belleville – The scene at the annual Belleville General Hospital Foundation gala figures to be a colourful one this year. BGHF staff announced at Amica at Quinte Gardens Thursday that the theme for the upcoming gala would be “A Night at the Tiki Lounge.” BGHF fundraising coordinator Sue Rollins said she was excited about the costume possibilities at this year’s gala.

“I love the theme, it’s so much fun,” Rollins said. “With a Night at the Tiki Lounge, which was really big back in the 1960s, it lends itself to dressing 60s formal sheik or even just formal, because you’re going out to a tiki lounge. Or you can wear grass skirts and coconut bras or beachwear or whatever you’re comfortable with... there’s a great variety.”

Taking place on Saturday, September 20 at the Sears Atrium in Belleville, the annual event marks the largest fundraiser of the year for the BGHF. In 2013 more than $290,000 was raised to purchase new equipment for the Belleville General Hospital. The theme in 2013 revolved around the John Travolta classic Grease, and Rollins said having a theme

attached to the gala each year is just another way to make the event as “fun” as possible.

“We find that people just love to have fun, and they really enjoy having a costume to wear,” Rollins said.

In total, the event has raised almost $1 million for hospital equipment over the past several years, and in 2014 Rollins said the goal will be $320,000, the highest goal the foundation has ever set.

Funds from the event are earmarked to help with cancer care at BGH. “When we talk about cancer care a lot of people quickly think about the oncology clinic,” Rollins said, explaining that funds raised will likely be used throughout the hospital. “But the reality is with cancer care, and a cancer care journey, it really takes you a lot of different places, from diagnostics and the lab to the oncology clinic.”

Tickets for the gala are $200 and are available by contacting the BGHF offices at 613-969-7400 ext. 2061. Sponsorship and auction donation opportunities are also available. For more information visit the BGHF website at www.bghf. ca.

Pedal for Hope aims to raise support for pediatric cancer

By Kate Everson

News – Quinte West – Pedal for Hope Quinte 2014 is getting ready to raise support for the fight against pediatric cancer.

The event runs from April 28 to May 9 in 31 schools across the Quinte area, nine of them in Quinte West.

Quinte West OPP Constable Maggie McGaughen will be involved in the local spring cycling tour with teams cycling more than 500 kilometres raising awareness and support.

McGaughen is the school resource officer and has been involved in the local schools. She is also on the board of directors of Quinte West Youth Centre.

In January, more than 150 students graduated from the OPP KIDS (Knowledge, Issues, Decisions, Supports) program at Murray Centennial, Queen Elizabeth and V.P. Carswell elementary schools.

The graduation included treats from Tim Hortons and a fun jeopardy-style game that reviewed all the important lessons taught to the youth over the six-week program. The

topics included youth and the law, peerto-peer relationships, online safety, mental health awareness, and drug awareness.

McGaughen is currently teaching the OPP KIDS program to Grade 6 students at St. Peter Catholic School and Prince Charles Public School in Trenton.

In order to enhance the mental health Awareness lesson, McCaughen has partnered with Children’s Mental Health Services as well as a member of the community who lives with bi-polar disorder. This helps to reduce the stigma of mental illness and educates the youth about supports available in the community.

McGaughen has also been busy educating local high school students about the dangers of sexting. This form of peer exploitation can have serious and lifechanging consequences to both victims and violators. McGaughen and community service officer Constable Dave Ludington have hosted assemblies at Quinte West high schools highlighting the realities of social media.

regarding expanded Taser deployment within the Service.â&#x20AC;?

Citizens can submit comments by email to psbsec@stirling-rawdon.com or by mail to: P.O. Box 40, Stirling, Ont., K0K 3E0.

Tasers, also known as stun guns, are hand-held weapons that deliver a jolt of electricity. They are a tool police can use in a dangerous situation, as the jolt causes the suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s muscles to contract, making him fall to the ground so police can make an arrest.

The use of this weapon has been scrutinized, however, due to some well-publicized incidents, including the death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski, who died in the Vancouver Airport in 2007, after being Tasered by RCMP officers.

Board members also hope to receive public comments on the issue at their next meeting. The board normally meets at on the second Monday of the month at 7 p.m. in council chambers, at 14 Demorest Rd. That means the next meeting should take place, Monday, April 14 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t formally been announced yet. The board chair can postpone the meeting if there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough items on the agenda.

Police board member and StiringRawdon Deputy-mayor Wilfred Shier said board members acknowledge that Tasers are a controversial topic and believed they should consult with the public before making any orders.

Interim Police Chief Christina Reive said at a recent meeting that the force

currently has two Tasers but would like to have more. The new ministry ruling makes it possible for every officer to carry the weapon, if the board chooses.

Shier said the decision to consult the public on Taser use wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t based on any conflicts brewing here. He said he wasn't aware of any incidents in the past where the weapons has been used in the municipality.  The decision to seek public input was simply a matter of due diligence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard in the past that the public, in some parts, are passionate about the use -- or  lack of use -- of them, so I guess why not allow the public to make some comments,â&#x20AC;?

Shier said. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they wish to make any comments weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to hear them.â&#x20AC;?

Strong response to teens for Jeans initiative News â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â Belleville â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Over the past several years, AĂŠropostale and DoSomething.org have partnered on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teens for Jeansâ&#x20AC;? initiative. Together with local communities they have helped collect millions of pairs of jeans to donate to teens in need.

Each year, thanks to a partnership between the Quinte Mall and the local AĂŠropostale, the public is able to donate gently used jeans which are then provided to a local charity. This year the lucky recipient was the Quinte Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation.

Quinte Secondary School (QSS) took up the cause and collected 1,655 pairs of jeans for the campaign this year. Nathan Stanzel, a grade 12 student organized the event at QSS, which included donations from four local elementary schools and the Hastings & District School Board. A homeroom challenge was added to help raise the number of jeans collected and it worked. According

to Carol Wheatly, a counsellor at QSS, not only was the homeroom challenge a fun event for students, but thanks to the incredible Quinte Saints spirit the school beat its goal of raising 1,000 jeans by a whopping 655 pairs.

Nathan and Carol want to say a huge thank you to AĂŠropostale and their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teens for Jeansâ&#x20AC;? campaign.

They also want to thank Highland Shores Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aid and the Quinte Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation, which will distribute the donated jeans to families in need who are working with the society.

Connie Reid, Executive Director with Quinte Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation, was very grateful for the generosity shown by the students and members of the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we formed this great partnership we thought we might receive a couple hundred pairs of jeans â&#x20AC;Ś to exceed 1,000 pairs is overwhelming. Youth helping youth, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but love it!â&#x20AC;?

Sports – Asphodel-Norwood – The Norwood Bantam A Hornets’ sterling season came to an end Saturday night with the South Bruce Monarchs wrapping up the OMHA C title with a 6-1 win at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre. It was the only one-sided victory in a series that featured two 4-3 games.

South Bruce used its talent and speed to capitalize on opportunities and they started the scoring with a late first period power play goal and built their lead from that

point.

It was the Bantam Hornets’ first appearance in a C final after years of DD classification where they won titles in 1987 and 2002 with a finalist’s medal in 1988.

“I’m happy with everything they did this year,” Hornets coach Greg Hartwick said after Norwood captain Dawson Turcott accepted the runner-up Wes Oswald Trophy which dates back to 1946 and includes Havelock which lost to Mitchell in the 1965 C final.

we played there, they never gave us the room to go and we never seemed to have that extra step to make a play. They had a little more depth and a little more experience,” Hartwick said. “(The players) have nothing to hold their heads down about I know they don’t want to hear that (but) only two teams from Norwood have won bantam championships. It doesn’t happen that frequently. It will make a difference for them.. I think this core of guys will get the opportunity down the road.”

Norwood lost game one with onetenth of a second left on the clock and Hartwick wondered if things might have gone differently had they’d taken that game into overtime and won.

When the playdowns began 25 teams were vying for the Fred C. Waghorne Trophy.

“Unfortunately only one team gets that trophy and we weren’t that team today.

That’s the way it is,” said Hartwick. “I think these kids will get another chance and they’ll know what it’s like to be on the other side.”

The bantams played more than 55 games this year and “were basically in every game,” he added.

Norwood defeated Mariposa, Georgian Shores and Minto to reach the final.

Suiting up for the Hornets were Isaac Dart, Jake Krabbe, Nathan Dunn, Gavin Woodburn, Eric Sicker, Max Stewart, Owen Jordan, Nicolas Buchanan, Mitchell Rogers, Dawson Turcott, Zach Pearson, Andrew Hembruff, Hayden Baptie and Nolan Beamish. On the bench with coach Hartwick were Dave Bolton and Jeff Baptie.

Sports – Campbellford – The Norwood and District Figure Skating Club had a strong showing at the annual Toni Carr memorial Interclub competition hosted this year by the Campbellford Skating Club.

Sports – Campbellford – There will be no comeback for the Campbellford Colts like the one they staged four years ago.

Down 2-0 in the all-Ontario championship series against Tavistock, the team rallied to win the Ontario Minor Hockey Association Midget CC title in six games.

The Colts faced the same hurdle this year when they dropped their first two games against the Dunnville Mudcats and were looking to win at home last Saturday to get back in the series.

It didn’t happen. The visitors won easily 5-2 to sweep the final.

“We got beat by a better team,” coach Doug Mathew said. “They had a little more depth. They had three lines that competed hard and we took some undisciplined penalties that cost us four power-play goals. You can’t win playoff games in the penalty box.”

But Mathew was proud of what his players had accomplished this season.

“We weren’t really supposed to go much further than maybe the second round of playoffs so for them to get to the all-Ontario final, I was pretty proud to say I was their coach ...

It was a good run.”

The loss dropped Mathew’s record in provincial championships to 2-3 in 23 years of coaching.

Jacob Trotter and Stuart Battman scored for Campbellford in Saturday’s defeat, with Caleb Crothers, Matt Forestell, Cameron Wade and Koel Newton drawing assists.

Mathews said the Mudcats were a good organization and well-coached.

“They also had 10 17-year-old kids, it was almost like men playing against boys, some times we couldn’t get the puck,” he said.

Campbellford, in contrast, only had five players on its roster who are 17.

The Precision Wood Products crew dropped 2-1 decision at home March 14 with Crothers scoring the Colts’ lone goal, assisted by Battman and Forestell, and then got shut out 2-0 in Dunnville two days later.

Brenton McKenzie Crowe was solid in the net for Campbellford and if it hadn’t been for his play Dunnville’s

Sports – Marmora - Members of the Marmora Skating Club celebrated the accomplishments of another season on the ice with their annual yearend carnival held on Sunday, March 23. This year's theme was "Let's go to the circus," and featured fun routines choreographed to songs relating to the circus.

With the bleachers full of parents, grandparents and friends, the skaters, ranging from three to 17 years old, took to the ice.

The opening number was based on the popular Cirque du Soleil and showcased the senior StarSkaters tossing hula hoops and twirling ribbons as they skated. The CanSkate and CanSkate Plus groups entertained as beautiful princesses and handsome footmen in Goldwing Circus, daring tightrope walkers in Tightrope, and brightly polkadotted clowns in Afrocircus.

The youngest group of PreCanskaters were adorable as wrinkly little elephants in their performance. The StarSkate group was funky and fun in Pink's Funhouse and they wowed the crowd

Dancing with the Stars of Quinte returns

By Steve Jessel

Entertainment – Belleville – Sixteen participants from across the Quinte region will spend the next eight weeks shaking, shimmying and strutting their stuff in preparation of the seventh annual Dancing with the Stars of Quinte event coming this May. And at Y’Wanna Have a Cafe in downtown Belleville Saturday, the dancers found out who their partners and dance instructors would be for the popular upcoming competition.

“There seemed to be such an energy in the room,” Diane Coyle said of the kick-off event. Coyle is the manager of information services and special events planner for Volunteer and Information Quinte, who organizes the event. “There was a buzz and enthusiasm that’s already getting me excited about the event.”

The annual event is Volunteer and Information Quinte’s largest fundraiser of the year, and in 2013 it held its most successful event ever, where hundreds of spectators crowded into the Yardmen Arena in Belleville to watch Cassandra Bonn and Andy Caletti claim the title of Quinte’s top dancers with their highlands-inspired performance.

That event raised over $25,000 for VIQ, and in 2014 Coyle said she would love to eclipse the $30,000 mark.

Funds raised help support VIQ programs and services, including the volunteer recruitment and referral program that helps match prospective volunteers with appropriate agencies.

“We try and find out what their interests are and try to match them up with agencies that need somebody,” Coyle said. “We find that’s the best satisfaction all around, it helps with volunteer retention for the agency because they invest time and training in the volunteer, and the volunteer is happy to be there.”

Dancers either ask to take part or are recruited from the community, and Coyle said they always try and have a cross-section of different people and professions take part each year. The competition in 2014 will feature members of both the Belleville Fire Department and the Belleville Police Service, a high school teacher, a local media personality, small business owners and more. Participants are paired up with someone of a similar age and then matched to a volunteer dance instructor from one of a number of local dance studios. Dance instructors donate their time and experience to help craft and perfect a routine, and Coyle said some couples spend as much as 25 hours preparing for their routine.

Participants and coaches in 2014 include Dani Guppy, radio co-host & music director for Rock 107 and Todd Crawford, head coach for Canadian U19 Women’s Floorball team with instructor Liz Lougheed-Brown of Dance With Miss Liz; Sharon Huckle, owner of the Cat’s Meow Salon and Spa and Nick Foley of Celebrate the Hero with instructor Lisa Sinclair; Taryl Kramp, manager at SunLife Financial and Ryan Turcotte, Belleville Firefighter with instructor Ryan Wong, advisor at SunLife Financial; Nancy Lowthian, Scotiabank and John Bonn, partner at O’Flynn Weese LLP with instructor Erin Warriner of Inside Out Dance Academy; Jennifer MacMillan, advertising sales rep at The Intelligencer and Darrell Hatfield, Constable, Bel-

MTO taking steps to address concerns about 401

By John Campbell

News – Northumberland County – The Ministry of Transportation is taking “very seriously” complaints about conditions on Highway 401 in the county this winter, which have resulted in numerous multiple-vehicle collisions and road closures.

Kathy Moore, MTO’s regional director for Eastern Ontario, said the ministry has responded in several ways to concerns county officials raised in a special meeting in February about maintenance of the 401 following snowfalls.

The steps include undertaking “comprehensive audits” of the contractor’s operations within the county and installing cameras at the boundary of Northumberland and Durham Re-

gion to determine why there is a marked difference in the level of service being provided along the 401 between the two areas.

The cameras will provide “better eyes on the road continuously” and help the ministry “understand what’s happening out there,” Moore told council March 19.

MTO has also dedicated more personnel to Northumberland for ongoing monitoring. “We have up to six staff in addition to our normal complement working on these matters right now.”

Ministry staff have also met with local police, fire and public works representatives, and travelled the road to see firsthand “specific issues.” Moore said the contractor, Carillion

Canada, which was awarded a 12-year contract last year, “is taking concerns being expressed

by Northumberland County very seriously” as well; it recently added a senior superintendent for this area, a former ministry employee, who has worked on Highway 401 for many years.

Moore added both MTO and the province’s auditor-general will be looking at highway maintenance across the province. Ministry staff will looking at contract requirements for contractors in particular, such as when snow-clearing equipment needs to be out on the road.

A consultant will review the possibility of establishing a low visibility warning system and staff will look at what other jurisdictions Please see “MTO” on page B3

Caring for topsoil the subject of a workshop at Moira Hall News – Hastings County – Most of us go through life without thinking about soils in general, let alone about the soil beneath our feet. Topsoil is arguably the most precious natural resource we have.

All life is dependent on the thin layer of topsoil that covers the earth.

Harvest Hastings has invited Peter Neave, a soil scientist who works with Forests Ontario, to run a workshop on caring for the soil. It will be held at the Moira Community Hall on Thursday, April 10, from 1 to 5 p.m. He will lead an indoor, hands-on session and an

outdoor session, providing the weather co-operates.

Neave will talk about the basics of soil, soil fertility, the value of soil tests, improving soils, managing weeds and rotating crops. It is a good workshop to attend whether you are a farmer or a gardener.

In Hastings County, the soils developed under forests. Then the land was cleared to grow crops, creating a need to replace the nutrients taken out at harvest time. If they aren’t, it’s simply mining the soil. It takes a long time to

form soils, but it takes no time to lose soils through erosion.

Soil is a mixture of minerals, organic matter, gases, liquids and a huge number of soil organisms. It is a living entity, not just a medium in which to grow plants. The bacteria and other organisms that live in the soil break down organic material and help release nutrients that enable plants to grow. The more nutrients there are in soils the more there are available for plants and animals. Plants support soil organisms by secreting enzymes and sugar on which they feed.

Soil has an important role to play in locking up carbon and reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Jack Ketcheson, a local asparagus grower, retired professor, and member of the City of Quinte West Agricultural Committee, was asked why he became a soil scientist, and the Harvest Hastings member answered this way: “Growing up on the home farm at Wallbridge in the 1920s, I soon realized how much our family relied on the soil for our existence and well-being. When I

read how many civilizations started up historically and perished because people neglected their soil resource and their food supply, I was further convinced of its importance, that is why I decided to learn all I could about soil science. I am glad I did.”

It is important we all learn about the soil we depend on for life.

Daffodil pins ready to spread hope across Trent Hills

News – Trent Hills – Every three minutes another Canadian will hear the words “you have cancer” for the first time and be forced to digest a stark and life-altering piece of news.

That is something to think about during the month of April when canvassers and other volunteers with the Canadian Cancer Society raise funds to help those who have been stricken by the disease.

Throughout the month volunteers across Trent Hills as well as in Norwood and Havelock will be selling daffodil pins to raise funds for the Society.

“Money raised during Daffodil Month helps the Cancer Society fund excellent cancer research, provide information and deliver programs and services to prevent cancer,” says Emily Vassilidas, Relay for Life coordinator for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Peterborough and District office.

“The funds also help to support people living with cancer and their families and caregivers right here in Trent Hills and to advocate on behalf of Canadians on important health and cancer issues,” Vassilidas says.

Locally, Phyllis Donnelly will once again be organizing pin sales in Hastings, Havelock and Norwood with Dave McDougall and Lynn Forgrave heading up the Campbellford campaign

and Earline Armstrong putting together a team of volunteers in Warkworth.

“These volunteers are an example of how the Canadian Cancer Society truly is a volunteer-based organization,” says Vassilidas.

“It is only with the support of our donors and volunteers that the society will continue to save lives and support people living with cancer right now,” she says.

There will be pins available at a number of locations throughout Trent Hills and the surrounding area but supporters can also make donations online by visiting www.cancer.ca or by calling the

district office at 705-742-3823.

Local volunteers will be selling daffodil pins April 3-5 at Norwood Foodland and Todd’s Valu Mart in Hastings, April 4-5 at Havelock Foodland and April 4 at the RBC branch in Hastings.

Vassilidas also reminds people that they can support the Canadian Cancer Society by participating in the annual Relay for Life or by sponsoring someone who is walking in the relay. The Trent Hills Relay for Life will take place Sept. 6; other area Relay for Life events occur June 6-7 in Peterborough; June 7 in Cobourg; June 13 in Haliburton and June 2021 in the City of Kawartha Lakes.

in North America require of contractors in areas that are subject to snow squalls. They will also look at weather and collision data over an extended period.

Northumberland OPP Detachment Commander Inspector Doug Borton said this winter was “unique in a number of different ways” and there was an increase in collisions throughout the county, not just on the 401.

But “driver actions ... (are) something we really have to focus on,” he said.

Speed is a problem everywhere, Alnwick-Haldimand Mayor Dalton McDonald said. “The problem we see is when we cross that (boundary) line, the road maintenance is not as good (in Northumberland) as it is on the other side.”

“You need to talk to the people out there keeping that road clear so we can be safer,” he told Moore “Some years are worse than others, no doubt about that ... But we have to be prepared for the worst, and this year it certainly showed up that we weren’t on the 401 (in Northumberland).”

Cramahe Mayor Marc Coombs expressed anger that the minister of transportation hadn’t responded to a letter from Warden Linda Thompson about service levels being “reduced significantly” on the 401 through the Northumberland corridor. It was “unacceptable” the ministry had lowered service standards “without prior con-

sultation and notification,” he said.

“It was a shock to county council (when it) suddenly found out” the terms for a third generation contract had been changed, which would allow a contractor to use fewer pieces of equipment, he added.

“Somebody (at the ministry) made a decision that puts me and my loved ones at risk,” he said, and “they have to do something about it.”

Moore assured him the minister and staff are “tak-

ing these matters very seriously ... (and) clearly are paying attention.”

Brighton Mayor Mark Walas said he hoped service levels will return to what they were and asked the ministry to “even look to enhance” them.

Thompson said she and her colleagues appreciated Moore providing an update on what MTO has done since meeting with them in February and she suggested another report be given in person again next September, before the winter season.

Hastings artisan opens venue for like-minded “stitchers”

By Bill Freeman

News – Hastings – Lynn Piticco wants to give local fibre artists a place where they can come together, hang out, share ideas and learn from each other.

The Peterborough native, now a Hastings resident after growing up and working as a lawyer in British Columbia, has opened A Single Stitch at the corner of Front and Bridge Streets where she plans to give classes. But most of all she wants to welcome likeminded embroiders, quilters, felters, stitchers and other fibre artisans so they don’t have to pursue their crafts in isolation.

“Basically, I moved my personal sewing room from my house here,” the enthusiastic Piticco told The Independent. “I am stitching, quilting, embroidering and doing needlepoint all the time by myself and so are all my lady friends. I wanted to have an open door venue so women could come and have a cup of tea, listen to music and enjoy a nice colourful place and all be together and stitch and stitch.”

Piticco calls herself a “late bloomer,” having taken up fibre crafts in 1998 after retiring from her law practice.

“I went to a quilt shop and started buying fabric because it was beautiful. I kept going to a shop that had beautiful colours and fabrics and one day a lady said, ‘we have classes, we can teach you.’”

Piticco’s reply was: “I failed home ec.”

“I was the one outside gardening when I was a kid; I wasn’t doing housework or sewing on a machine,” she recalled.

But she took up the challenge and signed up for a beginner’s class “all excited with my bag filled with fabric.”

Next she bought a sewing machine.

“I went into that shop every day for two weeks until the class started buying fabrics.

That was the beginning.”

Her passion is as strong today as it was when she first started collecting fabrics.

“I’ve learned from some of the world’s best artists; they’re still my friends. I’ve

been very fortunate.”

Piticco has quilted and taught at universities, guilds, continuing education programs and night school; she’s also taught youth.

“I just want women to sew and quilt and embroider. There are a lot of crocheters, a lot of knitters, why not do something together? Maybe I can teach them something, maybe they can teach me. We need a venue in this little town.”

Piticco has a “huge resource library” covering everything from quilting and bead work to needle felting and silk fusion -- “everything you can think of; my library is open for everybody to use.”

Piticco also wants to get young people involved in fibre art.

“I want to get kids off their cellphones and maybe have them embroider down the side of their jeans. I want to put a massive, colourful (pile) of fibres and threads in the middle of a table and get them using their hands. Kids naturally gravitate towards colour; they’re creative, let’s get them off their cellphones and using their fingers to stitch. It’s a lost art.”

munication, playfulness, creativity and respect in the workplace. Many communities are already offering similar events for the corporate and business sector.

Quinte Corporate Challenge is geared towards team building and improved communication skills by offering a day of challenging activities that

are sure to encourage camaraderie and laughter among employees.

Corporations, businesses, organizations and other working groups are invited to enter a team of eight members in the June 20 event. The teams will complete eight tasks that promote team building and communication and the top three corporate teams will be recognized.

The challenge will take place at Batawa Ski Hill with lunch being provided onsite for all participants. Sponsors are currently being recruited with Trenton Kiwanis and Market High Advertising being the first to extend their support.

The entry fee is $250 per team to be paid by the corporation/business plus pledges collected by team members.

All proceeds will go toward supporting youth and teens in Quinte West, specifically, programming at the Quinte West Youth Centre that teaches leadership skills, collaboration, team building, community engagement and skill building.

The Quinte West Youth Centre is a charitable program operated by the Committee for Innovative Thinking for Youth and supported in part by the Ontario Trillium Foundation and the United Way of Quinte.

Only 32 teams can be entered so enter early to ensure a spot.

The events are being kept secret but rest assured there will be activities that tap into everyone’s skillset. Being athletic is not a requirement. The focus is on being open to try new things while working as a team.

of paper found on the grounds to Leo (a plastic lion inside a cage that’s actually a garbage can) – and Leo will roar with gratitude for being ‘fed’. Chapo told me that “children of all ages have enjoyed feeding Leo the Lion for almost 50 years now.”

As I watched the children exploring this fascinating place, I was witness to a virtual sea of strollers around me, for there seemed to be a lot of young ones being ushered around by adults.

There were also many older youngsters walking hand in hand with a parent or grandparent, and the small size of this zoo made this exploration much easier for all. The facility was handicapped accessible, too.

Youngsters exploring this zoo can also participate in pony and train rides – and animal feedings. They seem to particularly enjoy the eye-level view of the world of the naked mole rats, as seen through a window, and those special

Lifestyles – When children visit the small, intimate, interactive zoo in Lincoln, Nebraska, they get an ‘up close and personal’ view of a great variety of animals – and they see many of these right at eye level – with even an opportunity to pet and feed some of them.

Young children are the target audience at this particular zoo, accompanied, of course, by parents and/or grandparents – and they’ll find several interactive Zoofari stations located throughout the 10-acre site.

These stations are intended to provide everyone with an in-depth learning experience, and they include explanatory videos narrated by Larry the Cable Guy. These videos are also offered, free of charge, to several children’s hospitals across the country. Lincoln Children’s Zoo President and CEO John Chapo said that, in this way, “Whether the children are in hospitals or can actually visit Lincoln Children’s Zoo, the new Zoofari series will entertain and enhance the entire zoo experience for thousands of children.”

This award-winning zoo is home to more than 40 endangered species, including the Humboldt penguin, Matschie’s tree kangaroo, and Amur leopard. There are also such varied and interesting animals on site as dwarf crocodiles, pygmy hedgehogs, squirrel monkeys, naked mole rats, meerkats, lizards, armadillos, and golden lion tamarins. The zoo is committed to animal conservation and community education, and it participates in a national zoo breeding program. Recent successful births here have included pygmy marmosets, ring-tailed lemurs, red pandas, and a tammar wallaby. The Lincoln Children’s Zoo has been part of the community since 1965, and Parent Magazine has rated it as “among the nation’s best zoos for children”.

I toured this intriguing facility with Chapo, and I was immediately struck by how clean the zoo was – and commented on this. He confided that much of the credit for this goes to Leo the Lion. Children can feed any scraps

Entertainment – Stirling – The Stirling Festival Theatre’s Young Company production of a Fairy Tale Ending had, well, pretty close to a fairy tale ending.

Good crowds packed the theatre all week during March Break and the actors left with a memorable experience; one meant to simulate the life of theatre professionals.

The Fairy Tale Ending was billed as an over-the-top, who-dun-it story with several popular fairy tale characters, including the Big Bad Wolf and Goldilocks. It was funny, suspenseful and musical, with all kinds of complicated key and tempo changes. After each show, the actors signed autographs for fans.

Stirling Festival Theatre Managing Director David Vanderlip said he was pleased with how well the kids handled a challenging play.

The Theatre’s Young Company program is for volunteer actors ranging in age 12 to 19. Nine cast members took part in this play after starting rehearsals in January.

“They’ve worked really hard and it shows,” he said, adding that he was lucky to have several “veterans” in the cast, who had starred in other Young Company productions. “Some kids have been with me for three years.”

Vanderlip said that many past participants in the Young Company program have gone on to study theatre or pursue acting as a career. The program is a great extra-curricular activity for high school students, as it gives them an opportunity to prepare rigorously for a performance in a professional theatre setting.

With the Fairy Tale Ending production now over, the Young Company will shift its focus to its annual summer program. This summer it’s planning to stage the fun musical Footloose. Auditions will take place in June and the cast will rehearse through July, leading up to the show dates of Aug. 6 to 16. Another play will be staged in the fall.

Vanderlip said he asks kids to audition for a spot in the Young Company, really because the experience of preparing material for an audition is a good exercise for them.

But he tries to make room for anyone dedicated enough to attend rehearsals regularly. The students involved come from all over Quinte. One girl, he said, drove from Cloyne every weekend to take part in the show. Vanderlip and the Stirling Festival Theatre takes great pride in offering the program at no cost to the students.

“It’s a labour of love,” Vanderlip said.

The Fairy Tale Ending was a special performance for the company, because it was a Canadian original, authored and composed by Kieren MacMillan, the Stirling Festival Theatre’s music director for the past three years, with his writing partner Jeremy Hutton.

Best seats auction returns to Jamboree

By Bill Freeman

Highlights from the 2013 Havelock Country Music Jamoboree: Legendary country music star Wynonna Judd (above); Amanda Wilkinson of the Small Town Pistols (right); Kix Brooks of Brooks and Dunn fame (far right); country music superstar Trace Adkins (bottom left); and Travis Tritt (bottom right).

true for Jamboree fans.

The Best Seats initiative is also a chance for the CMH to raise public awareness about the hospital and cancer screening.

“The Jamboree folks do a lot for the community,” Russell said backstage during last year’s Jamboree, “We’re not the only charity here, the Lions Club, the Rotary Club and the Girl Guides are here as well. So it’s a good opportunity to raise funds for the hospital but also to get the word out about what we’re doing. Right now the digital mammography unit is the highest priority piece of equipment for the hospital.”

“Digital mammography and cancer

diagnostic equipment is something very near and dear to Paula and Ed (Jamboree owners Paula Chopik and Ed Leslie).”

The digital mammography unit should be on site and receiving patients at Campbellford Memorial Hospital by mid-May, says Russell.

In the next few weeks the hospital will also be taking delivery of a new anesthetic machine for its operating theatre.

“Both items would not be possible without strong donor support.”

Entertainment – Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – Country musicians are big-hearted performers and they demonstrated that last year by signing off on the very popular Best Seats in the House auction at the Havelock Country Jamboree which helped raise more than $15,000 for the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation’s digital mammography campaign.

Well, fans can get up close and personal again with their musical favourites when the Best Seats in the House auction returns as part of the 25th anniversary Jamboree.

“We’re honoured to continue the partnership, especially as part of the 25th anniversary,” says CMH Foundation executive director John Russell.

This year’s auction will also help raise funds for cancer diagnostic equipment.

“We had a good fundraiser last year, we raised a significant amount and we hope to surpass that this year,” says Russell. “We found out about it a little bit late last year; we have more lead time this year.”

“You can change a life, save a life and have the best time of your life (at the Jamboree),” says a flyer announcing this year’s auction.

The 25th anniversary Jamboree (Aug. 14-17) includes luminaries such as Allan Jackson, Dierks Bentley, Joe Nichols, Josh Turner, Kellie Pickler, Doc Walker, The Mavericks, Suzy Bogguss, Michelle Wright, Ambush, Charlie Major, Lisa Brokop, The Good Brothers and more.

JAMBOREE

Dr. Brian Ho According to recent studies, approximately 20% of North Americans suffer from a sleep problem. Problems with sleep affect both men and women of every race, age, and socioeconomic class. Although lack of sleep appears to be a benign problem, its effects are far reaching. One of the major causes of sleep deprivation is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is a complete cessation of breathing during sleep for at least 10 seconds. It affects men more than women and particularly individuals between the ages of 40 to 60. If OSA is left untreated, it can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, arrhythmias, as well as sleep-deprived motor vehicle accidents.

You might be asking yourself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;So how does my dentist come into play with obstructive sleep apnea?â&#x20AC;?

Because of the widespread prevalence of OSA and the fact that it remains largely undiagnosed in the general population, it is increasingly important that you are screened by your dentist or family doctor so that the treatment process can The symptoms of obstructive begin in a timely manner.

George Fallow July 29, 1944 to March 29, 2013 In loving memory of a dear Dad and Poppa

In Loving Memory of George Joseph Fallow July 29, 1944 to March 29, 2013 God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered, "come to me".

With tearful eyes I watched you, and saw you pass away, and although I loved you dearly, I could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating hard, working hands at rest, God broke my heart to prove to me, he only takes the best.
