at Princess Gardens in Peterborough where Landon Pearson, a retired Senator and renowned advocate for children’s rights, was the special guest speaker. The F.H. Dobbin Award recognizes a major work of fiction or non-fiction that focuses on Peterborough’s past. Gordon’s book, Dressed in Khaki, is a work based on the World War I letters of Norwood and area soldiers sent to Norwood

Methodist Church minister Mansell Irwin. The letters found their way to the Norwood Public Library and eventually to the Asphodel-Norwood Historical Society where president Judy Chaplin collated and photocopied them, placing them in binders while carefully researching their background. Gordon’s book uses those letters as the foundation for a poignant local his-

County approves 1.85 per cent wage increase for non-union staff

By John Campbell

News - Northumberland County - More than 100 nonunion staff employed by Northumberland County have been granted a 1.85 per cent wage increase retroactive to January 1. The increase in total for the year adds up to an additional $127,650 the county will pay 116 full- and part-time staff and “contract incumbents”–the management group of the eight departments, road patrol foremen and fleet supervisor, office administration and shift superintendents with emergency medical services, staff in corporate facilities, landfill staff and roll-off drivers, and the administration group with the material recovery facility. The wage adjustment was calculated based on an average of increases awarded to its unionized workers and changes in job rates among the county’s “market comparator group,” and the Consumer Price Index. Unionized workers have had their wages raised an average of 2.2 per cent since October 1, 2014. Social services and roads employees represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees were given a 2.5 per cent raise, while CUPE members employed at the Golden Plough Lodge received a two per cent increase. Employees at the material recovery facility, represented by United Food and Commercial Workers, were given a 1.75 per cent increase January 1. The county and the Ontario Nurses Association are in arbitration over increases to be paid nursing staff at the Golden Please see “WAGE” on page 3

News - Havelock - Cole Fletcher has already demonstrated his leadership skills as Prime Minister of the Havelock Belmont Public School student council and it would be no surprise if he decided to take those ample skills to Ottawa or Queen’s Park some day to help reform parliamentary behaviour. “I have no worries that Cole is going to be a very successful person in his life,” HBPS principal Daryl Whitney said after the Grade 8 student received the “Kids with Class” award for March, a youth achievement program sponsored and promoted by radio station 100.5 Fresh Radio in conjunction with partners Lighthouse Private Wealth, Darling Insurance and CHEX TV. “He exemplifies the characteristics of a strong citizen,” Whitney said. “He is an amazing leader; he makes the right choices when he needs to, even when it’s difficult.” Cole was nominated by home room teacher Brenda Leeming who was “proud and delighted” the radio station decided to choose him as the March outstanding young person. She submitted a short essay outlining attributes that made Cole a perfect fit for the award which honours personal achievement and community involvement. “A more than deserving student I couldn’t think of,” Leeming said.

“It was very easy to do,” she said of the nomination. “He’s an A-plus student; you’re looking at a kid who is always involved, does the right thing and is just a well-rounded student in terms of academics, sports, music and responsibility to his classmates and his family. He just shows his worth in everything he does.” Cole is a seasoned volunteer, doing things “so that others benefit from his help,” Leeming said. “He stands up for those who can’t stand up for themselves.” Along with the accolades, Cole received a $100 RESP from Lighthouse, a $100 gift card from Lansdowne Place Mall and his classmates will share a pasta lunch provided by East Side Mario’s and two large ice cream cakes from Kawartha Dairy. His name will also be entered for a draw for a $1,000 RESP. “We know Cole is a good kid. It’s nice to let other people know what a good kid he is,” Leeming added. Cole said he was “excited and humbled” by the award and visit to the school by Fresh Radio morning DJs Pete Dalliday and Catherine Hanrahan. He found out about the nomination just three days before the event. “I’m overwhelmed a little bit, especially to get the money and the dinner,” he said. He said he was “kind of nervous” in front of the student body during the presen-

tation. “I really didn’t know what to say.” Cole’s favourite subjects are science, math and phys ed, and he enjoys dirt biking, drumming and snowboarding. “Here we talk about the universal Golden Rule and the two main character traits of respect

and responsibility,” Whitney said. “When you put all those things together, Cole exemplifies all those things.” Cole’s award, he said, “does show other students that character does count and that good citizenship is important and it will take you places.”

There’s March Madness, and then there’s March for Meals The benefit to the students is that it gives them the opportunity to practise real life skills that will benefit them in adult life, in the areas of shopping, money management, cooking, cleaning and nutrition. Longtime volunteer Chris Pealow guides the students in making the soup and main course. In Hastings, the hot meals are supplied every Wednesday by Banjo’s Grill. The meals, delivered by volunteers, cost $6 (frozen meals are $5). Clients must register for the service by calling 705-653-1411 in Campbellford and 705-696-3891 in Hastings. These are also the numbers to call if you wish to volunteer, as drivers are always needed.

Wage increase for non-union staff approved Continued from page 2

Plough Lodge. Northumberland’s contract with its paramedics, represented by CUPE, expired March 31. In a report to council, acting CAO and treasurer Jennifer Moore said a “significant concern highlighted” in a compensation review carried out by Gazda Houlne Associates “was that of salary compression between unionized and supervisory positions, particularly within the Golden Plough Lodge, Paramedics, Public Works and the Material Recovery Facility.” She warned that should the county approve a cost of living increase “substantially different” from approved unionized

increases, “there is a significant risk for potential unionization of current nonunion staff, particularly within the landfill sites and the administrative divisions.” Moore said “maintaining competitive compensation practices enables the county to: attract and retain qualified staff; incent high levels of employee performance; administer compensation that is pay equity compliant; provide cost of living adjustments that reflect market changes necessary to maintain market competitive job rates and to maintain appropriate levels of compensation between managers, supervisors and subordinates to address salary compression issues.

Taking Medication Shouldn’t Be Confusing

When you pick up your prescriptions you may notice a letter inviting you to come to your pharmacy for a medication review. A medication review is a 20-30 minute one-on-one meeting with your pharmacist to ensure that you’re using your medications safely and appropriately. Your medications shouldn’t be confusing, but managing multiple medications and medical conditions isn’t easy. Managing different instructions and potential side effects is just a start. Did you know that several over-the-counter medications can interact with prescription medications? Do you know why you take your medications? Are you taking your medications at the most effective time of day? A medication review can make sure that you are getting the most out of your medications and answer any questions or concerns you may have. Recently it was suggested on a radio program that medication reviews are just one extra health care cost for our government to pay. This couldn’t be further from the truth. The Ministry of Health developed and encourages the medication review program because of the savings in health care costs that result from the elimination of unnecessary prescriptions, the reduced possibility of drug interactions, and reduced hospital admissions for adverse drug reactions. There is a standard medication review for people taking three or more chronic medications, but there are also specialized reviews as well. Some hospitals require a medication review before a planned hospital admission. If you’re physically home-bound a pharmacist can come to you. Once you have completed the medication review, you will be provided with an accurate and complete medication list that you can take to your next doctor’s appointment, hospital visit, or when travelling.

No injuries in roof collapse

News - Havelock - It seems improbable but there were no injuries caused by a roof collapse at The Amazing Dollar Store in Havelock Monday afternoon. Peterborough County OPP say the collapse at the Ottawa Street business occurred shortly after noon while rooďŹ ng workers were doing repairs. The three rooďŹ ng workers fell into the building below during the collapse but weren’t injured. Three employees and three customers were in the store at the time of the incident and they also escaped injuries. Police and Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Fire and Rescue crews were called to the scene and taped off the site. The neighbouring TD Canada Trust branch was also closed as a precautionary move. Fire and Rescue crews stayed at the scene to assess the stability of the building. As of press time there was no word as to what caused the collapse.

for Coach Canada was the man behind the wheel for Canada’s golden hockey team at this past year’s IIHF world junior hockey championship and savoured the sea-of-red scene in Toronto when Canada held off Russia for a dramatic 5 - 4 championship win, their ďŹ rst since 2009. It’s not the ďŹ rst time Beamish has driven national teams to hockey championships having guided the United States junior men’s squad around Ottawa in 2009 as well as American women’s squad in 2012, again in Ottawa. He’s also been the Peterborough Petes team driver since 2006-2007. But this year’s driving gig was one for the ages and required Beamish to be away from his family, and part of Team Canada, for a month which meant Christmas celebrations on the road with fellow tourney drivers. “It was a great time to view the hockey and be a part of Team Canada,â€? Beamish said after being presented with the Recreation and Sport Award at the sixth annual Trent Hills Civic Awards. “We watch the world junior tourney every year as part of our family life but to be there and to be so involved with the celebration was [awesome],â€? the father of two hockey-playing sons said. “To have the support of my family to do something like that is unforgettable,â€? he said. Hockey Canada ofďŹ cials made him feel much more like he was part of the team than the Americans did during his previous driving experiences. He was given tickets to most of the games and watched the heart-stopping gold medal game from

the event level. The trainers also presented him with shirts and sweaters so he’d feel at home during team meals. “That sounds pretty great,â€? Trent Hills CAO Mike Rutter said during the presentation. “Sometimes with sports, particularly sports played at a national and world level we don’t think of the work and dedication that is required of those working behind the scenes or the personal sacriďŹ ces that are sometimes made,â€? said Rutter.

Beamish got to watch the teenage hockey phenoms like McDavid, Max Domi, Sam Reinhart and Nic Petan up close and marvelled at how well they managed the pressure of being in the national spotlight; he also praised their demeanor. “They treated everybody around them really well,� he said. “To play under that stress and to know that the entire country was watching you all the time; I don’t know how they can pull that off.� “It was an unbelievable event.�

That led to a partnership with a library patron, Warren Lloyd, who is also a woodworker and eager to help out the organization in some way. “He offered to build it for us,” said Latone. He and Latone sat down and designed a Little Library they thought would work well with Lloyd adding an unusual bird puzzle to the box’s top. “It’s a good partnership with the recreation department,” she says of the library’s location. “This is a really high traffic building.” There are a few Little Libraries in Peterborough, she says, part of a wave that have appeared in neighbourhoods and communities across the globe since the first one was established in Hudson, Wisconsin.

LIFESTYLES LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Public Notice

Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Havelock Water Supply System Upgrades Standpipe Replacement Project

Endless Conservative flyers are like pesky sales calls Dear Editor, We have received in rapid succession, a series of flyers from MP Daryl Kramp, letting us ignorant voters know just how well he and the Conservative Government are taking care of us. One might call this flood harassment, comparable to the pesky sales calls from India. Our streets are safer because the perpetrators will be locked up for good–but not before they have made the streets unsafe. Our government is delivering tax relief for the suffering families in the upper 15 per cent income bracket. Four million hard-working families can soon enjoy an enhanced and expanded Universal Child Care Benefit. While Mr. Kramp is wondering, after bragging with these remarkable achievements whether he is in the right track, I was wondering where that leaves poor little old me. The tough-on-crime legislation will be challenged in the SSC, income splitting is out of the question, and the kids have grown up.

So it was just in time that Daryl Kramp, Chair of Public Safety and National Security has caused the postal service to deliver a huge poster to my mailbox: Tax Time... Fact Time, to eliminate all my doubts about the wisdom of neo-conservative fiscal politics. There are potentially so many more goodies–exactly $56,850.00 worth, which are begging to be picked up. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! From now on I will make a conscious effort to not notice crumbling infrastructure, the underfunded and under-equipped Armed Forces, the cancellation of research laboratories, increased user fees for citizenship and passports, just to name a few. I can, however, not ignore the ridiculous statement that we “continued to live within our means,” because $56,850.00 multiplied, looks like a lot of wasted government income. Just ask the Canada Revenue Agency, as Mr. Kramp suggests. Ivar Heissler, Stirling

The Havelock Water Supply System supplies drinking water to the residents, businesses and industries in the community of Havelock. Upgrades to the existing water supply, storage and distribution facilities (system) are considered necessary to address current operational issues and to ensure adequate distribution system pressures and fire flows are provided to meet current and future demands of the community. The Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study to examine the required upgrades to the Havelock Water Supply System and published a Notice of Study Commencement in September 2014. The existing standpipe (treated water storage tank) located on the west side of Concession Street North (between Donald Street and McLean Avenue) is not of sufficient height to provide the operating (water) levels necessary to maintain distribution system pressures within the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) recommended range. The Havelock Water Supply System is also considered to have a short-fall with respect to current and future treated water storage volume requirements. The preferred solution to address the identified water storage and distribution system pressure issues within the Havelock Water Supply System was determined to be replacement of the existing standpipe with a new standpipe approximately 14 metres taller than the existing tank and providing additional treated water storage capacity for the system. The preferred site for the new standpipe is the existing standpipe site on the west side of Concession Street North (between Donald Street and McLean Avenue). The project will also involve watermain upgrades on Concession Street North to adequately connect the new standpipe to the existing water distribution system. The MOECC – Safe Drinking Water Branch has confirmed that constructing a new standpipe at the existing standpipe site is considered a Schedule A (pre-approved) project under the Municipal Class EA planning and design process. Schedule A projects may proceed to design and construction with no mandatory public consultation requirements. The Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen now intends to proceed with design and construction of the new standpipe (treated water storage tank) on the existing standpipe site. Confirmation that the preferred solution is a Schedule A (pre-approved) undertaking is therefore considered to supersede the public consultation plan identified in the September 2014 Notice of Study Commencement.

The donation is for a new vital signs monitor for use in one of the hospital’s operating rooms. “We’re really quite pleased with the way things are going in the OR,” John Russell said, in thanking the club. “This is another big component of what we’re doing.” Photo: John Campbell

How to achieve political power Dear Editor, I’ve just read some interesting ideas about political power and how to achieve it. These ideas might be worth passing on to any of your readers who wonder how Harper and his gang managed to get and (so far) maintain control of Canada: “The receptivity of the great masses is extremely limited, their intelligence is small, their forgetfulness enormous. Therefore all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and they should be used like slogans until the very last man in the audience is capable of understanding what is meant by this slogan. “The most brilliant propaganda techniques will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is constantly remembered and applied with the closest attention. It must confine itself to a few points and everlastingly repeat them … persistence is the first and most important condition for success. “The purpose of propaganda is … to convince the masses. The masses, however, are slow-moving, and they always require an interval of time before they are prepared to notice anything at all, and they will ultimately remember only the simplest ideas repeated a thousand times over.” To me these ideas go a long way in explaining Harper’s achievements. The guy I’m quoting–Adolf Hitler–also enjoyed a certain measure of success in his day. Rick Patrick, Madoc

OPINION

Intergalactic pirates again Editorial - I really liked the furious debate that broke out recently among astronomers about whether we should send out signals to the universe saying “we’re here.” It implicitly assumes that somehow, if your science is really advanced, then interstellar travel is possible. I like it because I Gwynne Dyer hate the idea that the human race will never be able to go beyond this little planetary system “far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy,” as Douglas Adams put it in his Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. We need somebody to do to Einstein’s physics what Einstein did to Newton’s. But while we’re waiting for that, it’s good to know that some quite grown-up scientists (astronomers, not physicists, admittedly, but I’ll take whatever I can get) think it’s worth having a debate about whether we should take the risk of letting all the aliens know we are here. I missed the debate when it took place at the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s annual conference in San Jose last month because I was on Mars at the time. (Well, somewhere that felt quite like Mars, anyway.) But here are a couple of quotes to give the flavour of it. “Any society that could come here and ruin our whole day by incinerating the planet already knows we are here,” said Dr. Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer and Director at the Center for SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) Institute in California. Not so fast, said space scientist and sciencefiction writer David Brin. “The arrogance of shouting into the cosmos without any proper risk assessment defies belief. It is a course that would put our grandchildren at risk,” he said. If we send them messages, they may come here and enslave us. Or just eat us. Now, the traditional way to shut this debate down is to point out that we’ve already been sending out radio and television signals for a hundred years. Therefore, any intergalactic pirates within a hundred light-years of here already know where we are. But it turns out that this isn’t actually true: our radio and television signals begin to fade into the background radio static beyond about one light-year away. Since the nearest star is more than four light-

years away, there’s not much chance that the Klingons or Vogons or whoever you’re worried about knows we’re here yet. (And there goes the plot of Galaxy Quest.) On the other hand, powerful radar signals of the kind that we have been using to map the surface of other planets and moons in our own system travel a very long way, and we’ve already been sending them out for over 20 years. They don’t carry much information–they just say “somebody here can generate microwave radiation”–but just that might be enough to attract unwelcome attention. This new debate is actually about “active SETI.” We have been doing “passive SETI”–listening for messages from civilisations around other stars– for more than 40 years already, using large radio telescopes that can pick up very faint signals. But there are quite strict rules about who should reply if they do get a message. The First Protocol, drafted by the International Academy of Astronautics SETI Panel in 1989, says that “no transmission in response to a signal or other evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence should be sent until appropriate international consultations have taken place.” But the advocates of “active SETI” want to scrap that and send out an “all call” to the universe. One of the reasons the debate has got more heated is that we now know planets are as common as dirt. It’s only 20 years since the first confirmed discovery of an “exoplanet,” but now we know of 1,906 of them, mostly orbiting relatively nearby stars and a very small proportion showing Earthlike characteristics. (But the actual number of Earth-like planets may be much higher, since it’s a lot easier to find gas-giants like Jupiter or Saturn.) There are probably hundreds of thousands of planets in our vicinity (there are 260,000 stars within 250 light-years). If even a mere few thousand of them are Earth-like, then it is imaginable that somebody might come calling in response to the messages we send–if, and only if, it is possible to travel at near- or trans-light speeds. Nobody knows how light-speed travel could be done, and our current understanding of physics says that it can’t be done. But this would be a very silly debate if scientists were really all convinced that there is no possibility of getting around the current speed limit. They will never say that it might be possible, because they cannot suggest how it might be done and the risk to their reputations would therefore be extreme. But they are quite happy to engage in a debate that would be totally irrelevant if they didn’t think there is a chance that we or some other civilisation in our galactic vicinity will eventually figure out how to do it. And that cheers me up considerably.

My MLB prediction: Jays end season in morgue By Stephen Petrick Editorial - A few weeks ago I wrote in this space about the dysfunction of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Now I thought I’d pen my thoughts on the team that keeps Ontario sports fans miserable for the other six months of the year. Normally this time of year I’m looking forward to the start of the Major League Baseball season, with hopes that the Toronto Blue Jays can finally end their playoff drought. Not this year. Thanks to a Greek comedy-like sequence of blunders the Jays season is over before it has started. It started in late February when newly acquired Canadian outfielder Michael Saunders tripped over a lawn sprinkler while fielding fly balls at the team’s spring training facility in Dunedin, Florida. It continued days later when their best pitcher, Marcus Stroman, suffered a season-ending injury during a bunt drill. Days later outfielder Kevin Pillar was shut down from baseball activities for a week when he injured himself from–wait for it– sneezing. Can’t make this stuff up. Slugger Edwin Encarnacion, closer Brent Cecil and infielder Maicer Isturiz have also spent time on the disabled list during spring training. If the rest of the team can make it to September standing on two legs, the season should be considered a success. So here’s my prediction on what else we can expect from the Jays in 2015. The team’s best player, Jose Bautista, will miss time after poking himself in the eye with a straw during a Booster Juice commercial. Newly acquired star catcher Russell Martin will miss the season after Quebec sovereignist rebels kidnap him during the team’s upcoming trip to his native Montreal. (They want to claim him as their own.) Jose Reyes catches an infection when a robin builds a nest in his long beard. New prized third baseman Josh Donaldson will injure himself when a stray R.A. Dickey knuckleball hits him in just

the wrong way. The entire bullpen ends of needing Tommy John surgery. By August, the whole team will say screw it and just head to Cancun. That’s okay. Other teams will have problems this year too. New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, fresh off his year-long suspension for performance-enhancing drug use, will injure his legs while running away from a Manhattan media thong. And Boston Red Sox newly acquired slugger Pablo Sandoval will be put on the disabled list after the team realizes he’s 95 pounds overweight. (That’s a pound for every $1 million of his contract.) In the National League, all teams other than the Los Angeles Dodgers will cease to exist after the LA ownership buys every single player, just to ensure they win a league title. Then they’ll lose in the World Series to the American League winning Kansas City Royals, who are in the final for a second straight year, despite having one of baseball’s lowest payrolls. On a serious note, more than a few people have asked me why I love baseball so much since, to many, it’s more boring than watching paint dry. There’s numerous answers to that question, and I won’t get to them all here. But one thing I’ll say is that to be a baseball fan, you don’t have to watch every game, every inning, or every pitch. The six-month-long MLB season plays out like a romantic-comedy sitcom. It involves countless storylines, dramatic moments that interrupt dullness and unpredictable ups and downs. The Jays are more likely to end the season in the morgue than as World Series champs but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun watching, laughing or crying all season long. The summer will still bring plenty of towering home runs and collisions at home plate. Hopefully, Canada’s lone team will be competitive or, at least, entertaining. Let’s just hope no one else sneezes.

Trent Hills lauds its “remarkable� volunteers, civic winners

By Bill Freeman

News - Hastings - The “remarkable� achievements of local residents and selfless efforts of legions of volunteers were celebrated in Hastings Friday night during the Trent Hills volunteer appreciation and civic awards. The gala event shone the spotlight on individuals and groups who work hard to avoid the glare of recognition but Mayor Hector Macmillan says it is the very least the municipality can do to publicly thank citizens who show their love for the community in so many ways. “It is a remarkable night and the highlight of the year,� Mayor Macmillan said admitting that he was astounded by the variety of things people do in Trent Hills. “It’s amazing the amount of things that are done by our volunteers that our municipality just could not do,� he said. “You can’t hire people to love a community and these people are willing to spend their own time and in many cases their own funds to help make our community just that little bit better and it’s no longer just a little bit, on a combined effort it’s huge the things these people are doing.� Mayor Macmillan was thrilled to personally pres-

ent the Mayor’s Civic Pride Awards to the Campbellford and District Horticultural Society and to fundraiser extraordinaire Bruce Brown. “It really is important to us. Trent Hills is a much better place because of you,� he said after presenting the two Civic Pride Awards, the last of the ten civic awards handed out during the night. Twenty-two organizations and groups were also presented with appreciation certificates. “It always feels like we’re not doing enough,� Macmillan said. “They do it for the love of their community not recognition.� The mayor says he’s always pleased to see young people step up to contribute to the municipality and to sometimes represent Trent Hills on larger stages. There were two Outstanding Youth Civic Awards presented and a Sporting Excellence Award to another high school student. Macmillan sees more young people volunteering as well “There’s a bridging of the gap with the younger ones coming in and that’s great to see because if volunteers stop I don’t know what we’d do without them. We could never afford to replace them. It’s great to see so many shining stars in

our youth. They’re so deserving of the awards they get.� Trent Hills CAO Mike Rutter called it his “favourite night of the year.� Along with thanking those who contribute to the betterment of Trent Hills the night is also a way of perhaps “re-energizing� and “motivating� them. Volunteers, he said, donate their time, energy and expertise “with nothing in return but the satisfaction of knowing that you help others and make this a better community. “Sometimes you pushed us beyond our comfort zone, sometimes you motivated us when we were tired and when things weren’t easy but most importantly you shared your vision [of what Trent Hills should be] with us.� Civic Award winners:

Hockey star humbled by Civic Award Sports - Hastings - The awards keep piling up for Jakob Brahaney. Just weeks after a golden hockey performance as part of Team Ontario at the Canada Winter Games, Jakob was centre stage at the Trent Hills Civic Awards in Hastings where he was presented with a Sporting Excellence award by Mayor Hector Macmillan. It’s been a remarkable year for the outstanding scholar-athlete who patrols the Quinte Red Devils AAA Midget blue line with savvy hockey smarts and through it all Jakob has remained grounded and extremely modest even as the Ontario Hockey League’s entry draft on April 11 approaches. “It’s been an exciting year for me and it’s been an honour to represent Trent Hills for the provincial team. I just really appreciated the support everyone has given me,” the 16-year-old CDHS honour student said after

receiving his Civic Award. Jakob was one of six defencemen on Team Ontario and finished third in points for the Red Devils this season leading all blueliners in scoring. He was also the top scorer on the CDHS Flames hockey team and is also a formidable force on the soccer pitch. Athletics is obviously an important part of his life but so, too, are academics and Jakob has mastered the discipline needed to excel in both. “I try to keep them [athletics] even with academics but sometimes that’s hard,” he admits. “I’m a pretty competitive guy so sometimes athletics lead the way but academics are very important to me.” The upcoming OHL draft is a big deal no matter how quietly you approach it and Jakob is trying hard not to let thoughts of that event take over too

much of his life. It’s no longer the NHL-like travelling road show as it was in 1989 when Norwood’s Dave Stewart was drafted third overall and Eric Lindros went first, but it remains a significant hockey event. “I try my best not to think about it but obviously it’s really important [and] it’s possibly preparing my future in hockey so I’m looking forward to that. I’m trying not to think about it too much but obviously it’s in your head a bit.”

REAL ESTATE News - Hastings - Judy Pearce is a “champion” of local heritage and was publicly honoured at the sixth annual Trent Hills Civic Awards when she was presented with the Heritage Awareness Award. The award “showcase(s) the work of those that preserve, restore and celebrate the historical attributes of an area” and Pearce, a member of the heritage advisory committee advisory since 2007 and chair from 2001 until the end of 2014, says she accepted the award as just one member of an active group. “Yes, I chaired the committee, but everybody on the committee contributed. We each had our own pet projects

we worked on,” she said after receiving the award from Mayor Hector Macmillan. The well-received Heritage Plaque Program was developed by the committee during Pearce’s chairmanship and her writing and editorial skills are on display in the “Heritage Tour of Seymour” brochure and “Designating Your Property” booklet. She has also edited, revised and assisted in the design of the “Campbellford: Dedicated Heritage Property Walking Tour” guide and was involved in the researching and writing of a similar pamphlet for Warkworth. Pearce has also worked to preserve her own historically designated home and continues to be involved in the

“Get involved,” youth award winner says News - Hastings - Rahul Patel has mastered the art of time management and Trent Hills is better because of that. The Grade 10 Campbellford District High School student is a dynamo of volunteerism and is always looking for ways to help the school and the community beyond it, whether as a member of the Student Council, the CDHS Justice League, Hallowe’en for Hunger or the Community Resource Centre. Rahul’s giving, caring and industrious nature are three reasons why he was presented with one of the two Outstanding Youth Awards at the sixth annual Trent Hills Civic Awards. In fact, Rahul received an individual award and shared the group Rahul Patel, a Grade 10 student at CDHS, received 27 Meade St the Outstanding Youth Award at theNew sixthPrice annual award with the CDHS student MLS# QR21501866 Trent Hills Civic Awards in Hastings.

unteering; I will always keep volunteering to help others,” he said after receiving his award. Rahul has already accumulated 430 hours of community volunteer work and that tells part of the story. His presence is felt far and wide in the community through his activities within the school and the greater Trent Hills Community. He is a member of the Campbellford-Seymour Youth Advisory Committee where he assisted them with their Hallowe’en food drive as well as the Christmas Toy collection blitz. Rahul also spends winters operating the time clock for Campbellford Colts minor hockey games and is a regular volunteer at Hillcrest Public School. During the summer he assists the Community Resource Centre’s day camp programs and also helps out at both the Hastings and Waterfront Festivals.

“It sounds like a lot; it’s exceptional,” said Trent Hills CAO Mike Rutter. “He has developed into an effective leader and an amazing role model for other teens in our community. He is an ideal recipient of this award.” Rahul was humbled by the honour. “I’m really glad that my family was here; they guided me to earn this, and my friends,” he said. “They’ve pushed me and motivated me to do the best I can. Without them I don’t think I can be the person I am today.” He’s enjoying high school a lot. “All my friends and all the activities really occupy my time and it’s awesome.” He urges other teens to “get involved. “It’s a great experience and it will help in the future.”

That work, noted Trent Hills CAO, was “useful in obtaining government grants to offset some of the cost of renovations” to the property. Rutter said Pearce’s presence at the Heritage Centre guarantees a warm welcome to visitors looking for expert guidance on the history behind their properties.

Musicians continue to make their mark at Havelock Jamboree talent showcase

Entertainment - Bethany - It’s no easy task being a judge at The Next Country Music Star Talent Search which is looking to place a grand champion on stage at the 26th annual Havelock Country Jamboree. The Jamboree has teamed up with The Ranch Resort in Bethany to stage the talent showcase and brilliance has been the name of the game with the list of performers moving on to the semi-final round on April 4 continuing to grow from a deeply talented pool of competitors hailing from around the region. The Saturday night concerts have produced a party-like atmosphere with musicians delivering high-quality performances that leave no doubt about the strength of Canadian country music. The finals are slated for April 11 with opening round winners and wild card performers bringing their very best to the stage. Jane Doidge of The Ranch says “every style of country music, from tradition to contemporary” has been heard from competitors ranging across the age spectrum. One winning duo, Emerson Ireland and John Ross, have a solid connection to Havelock Jamboree territory and especially Cordova Mines where the massively talented Ireland family has deep roots. Ireland and Ross, part of Durham Region’s popular Emerson Ireland Band, took the March 7 top prize with Prince Edward County’s Jamie Stever and Cory

an old country/rockabilly/bluegrass style and it’s not hard to understand why the audience was up and dancing,” Doidge said of Ross and Ireland. “Their sense of humour, great guitar playing and toe-tapping selection of original and cover songs led one judge to say they were the most fun all night.” The seven-piece Kansas Stone band produced “musical fireworks” with their original set, said Doidge. One judge told the Barrie-area band that “I will buy your CDs, I will buy your merch, I will sleep in line through a thunderstorm to buy front row seats to see your shows.” Uxbridge duo Brooke and Ben, unspooled a “captivating” mix of Johnny Cash and June Carter classics and “oldcountry singing style” to win the wild card. Perth’s Henry Norwood also moves on to the semi-final after a knockout acous-

tic solo show. Doidge called his performance “mesmerizing.” One judge, she noted, said Norwood’s voice “flows like honey.” Mississauga’s Kaitlin Kozell, a veteran anthem singer at Toronto Maple Leaf games, added to her growing reputation with a fine performance of cover tunes and original songs to earn a wild card spot. One judge, noting the Leafs’ dismal season, said the NHL team should open up for her and not the other way around. On stage for the last opening round concert March 28 were Kristen Harvey (Stratford), T.C.

Council support always welcome says Community Care By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - Community Care Norwood welcomes any support township council could provide to help make it easier to deliver services to its clients, community development coordinator Tammy Ross said. Ross and Community Care volunteer and speaker’s bureau member John Bennett talked to councillors during their regular meeting providing a brief overview of the services it provides and the role it plays in the greater Asphodel-Norwood community. “We’ve been in the community a very long time [starting] from humble beginnings,” Ross said, recalling its early days in the basement of the Seniors Friendship Club building on Pine Street and its soon-to-be new quarters at Maple View Retirement Centre

where it will move from its current location across from the RBC branch on County Road 45. Community Care has been in Norwood more than 27 years with a client base of at least 125. The shift to Maple View, slightly south on County Road 45, offers a “wonderful partnership” opportunity for the organization, said Ross. “Helping our clients in the community is the most important thing [we do],” she said. “We are always looking for ways that we can improve our service delivery and enhance the community in partnership with our municipal councils,” said Bennett. Some councils, he noted, provide direct grants to Community Care offices to help defray client expenses;

money largely used to subsidize transportation costs for dialysis patients and purchase personal distress alarms. “Most councils are able to assist their offices by deferring or reducing user fees for municipal facilities in support of Community Care programs or fundraising,” Bennett said. That was something Ross pointed to while mentioning the need to find accessible places to host their popular Diner’s Club meals. It makes it a lot easier to do things when you don’t have to pay for a site “because you have to pass that on to a client or have to try to find it somewhere in our budget which is very small because we are trying to help clients with other services [like distress alarms] they may not have the money for,” said Ross.

Mayor Terry Low wondered if Community Care Norwood had talked to Maple View about hosting Diner’s Club meals in their dining room. They have, Ross said. Maple View would have to stagger the time of its meals but there is a possibility that something could be arranged. An outdoor barbecue is another possibility, she added. “There is a lot of flexibility there and we are very excited about that.” Bennett wanted to clear up the “common bit of confusion” between Community Care Peterborough and the Community Access Centre. They are two separate organizations but also partners, he said. The “primary purpose” of the Access Centre is to “provide clients with professional personal services, medi-

cal care in the form of home nursing care and access to long-term care,” said Bennett. “Our partnership with the Access Centre is primarily to focus on helping clients transition back into their homes from local hospitals and health facilities with the assistance of our volunteers. The Access Centre’s role is to deliver the health care and personal support workers needed to enable the discharge as quickly as beneficial for the client.” Community Care Peterborough has a $2-million budget with 60 per cent coming from the province, 20 per cent from service fees paid by clients, 12 per cent from donations and fundraising, six per cent from the county and city and three per cent from the United Way.

Paramedics at “capacity” as call volumes continue to rise

Peterborough Paramedics will need to expand over the next ten years to meet the challenge of increasing call volumes and changing demographics.

Over the past year the overall call volume (24,226) jumped by around seven per cent which Chief Mellow called “quite an increase.” Year over year the local emergency service has seen call volumes rise at around 3.1 per cent. Nearly 3,000 of those calls were for patients between 81 and 90 years of age. As a result of call volume escalation, Peterborough Paramedics’ overall response time increased 25 seconds over the year to 16 minutes and 44 seconds. “It’s not startling based on the location and that we’re at capacity,” Chief Mellow said. On the flip side of that, response

times in Asphodel-Norwood, where a 24-hour ambulance is stationed, dropped by nearly two minutes to 12.43, not far off times in the City of Peterborough. There were 1,551 calls out of the Norwood EMS station, 130 more than 2013. One of the service’s accomplishments over the past year is how they addressed “higher acuity” calls, improving response times in three of six categories and meeting all of their targets despite the overall increase in call volumes. “We’ve had success in shifting resources to meet higher acuity calls,” Chief Mellow said.

News - Peterborough County - Peterborough Paramedic call volumes continue to rise as the “at capacity” emergency service faces the fact that this area has one of Canada’s largest seniors populations. And the percentage of elderly within the region’s population is only going to grow, says Peterborough Paramedics Chief Randy Mellow. “We are one of the highest in our percentage of elderly and that drives our call volume,” Chief Mellow told Asphodel-Norwood council. According to Statistics Canada, Peterborough County has the highest number of people age 65 and over (27,055) of 16 Ontario counties, 2,000 more than nearby Hastings and Frontenac. “We’re busy, we’re at capacity,” Chief Mellow said.

Peterborough Paramedics also saw an increase in cross border calls, Peterborough into other counties and other services into Peterborough County. Chief Mellow said they made some “adjustments” this past year so they were “covering [their] border areas a little better.” Increases in the off-load delay issue at Peterborough Regional Health Centre was one of the “drivers” of crossborder increase, he said. “We’ve had a lot of success with this but in the past year it was up every single month,” Chief Mellow said of the dedicated off-load nurse program at PRHC. The peak delays were in April, June and December. There was much accomplished over the past year, he said, including having 12 more primary care paramedics trained in intravenous therapy. Work on a master plan that studies

response trends, demographics and long-term resource needs is critical, Chief Mellow stressed. With the upward call volume trends, he candidly says that over the next ten years the service is going to have to expand and the financial costs are going to be “fairly dramatic.” Chief Mellow predicts they’ll need at least three new land ambulances which represent “quite a capital cost behind [each one].” “We’re going to keep our councils as educated as possible to make informed decisions around that and planning,” he said. “If you keep the targets for response times, which we think are good targets, we’ll likely need three new ambulances over that time period.” A master plan will look at where those ambulances and staff resources would be best deployed.

CMH has 3 vacancies on its Board of Directors. The Board requires all of its members to possess the following personal qualities: an understanding of and commitment to the mission and values of the hospital; an understanding of governance; an ability to think strategically; an ability to work as part of a team and to communicate effectively; honesty and integrity; basic financial literacy.

The Board of Directors endeavors to have balanced community perspectives and a complementary mixture of knowledge, skills and experience. Experience in: s HEALTH CARE GOVERNMENT RELATIONS PROJECT MANAGEMENT information technology, human resources management or accounting would be an asset but is not required. There will be an information session for interested applicants on Wednesday, April 22, 2015 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Board Room on the main floor where application packages will be available.

Clerk set to retire after 35-year career in municipal government News - Trent Hills - It’s hard to say what’s more remarkable in Marg Montgomery’s 35 years of service as a municipal employee: her having worked for 36 political bosses in that time, or having got along with them all. “I always had a good council to work for; I never had a problem,” said the Hastings native. “Luckily I never had a council that I didn’t want to work for. They have always shown respect for me as an employee. I feel blessed when I hear stories from other municipalities’ staff members” who haven’t been as fortunate. In two weeks, April 17, Montgomery will work her last day as clerk for Trent Hills, a position she has held since the municipality came into being 14 years ago; before that she worked 21 years for the village of Hastings. In all that time she has attended more than 900 council meetings and as many if not more committee meetings, performed 50 civil marriage ceremonies as a marriage officiant, registered 300 death certificates a year on average, and issued 100 marriage licences. Ask Montgomery what was the most noteworthy thing about her long career in local government and she’ll tell you it was being Hastings’ first and only female clerk-treasurer, and the last clerktreasurer it had before being absorbed by amalgamation. When she was hired in 1980 it was as the assistant to the village’s clerktreasurer. The clerk was Fred Crate, who retired two months later; his son, Bob, is the deputy-mayor of Trent Hills. Montgomery also served as secretarytreasurer of Hastings Public Utilities.

Three people worked in the office and the equipment consisted of a manual typewriter, a Gestetner copying machine and dial telephones–no computers, fax machines, Internet service, or cellphones. Agendas were three to ten pages, not the 100 to 200 they are today, and all reports were verbal. Many of the issues were the same then as now: complaints about water, roads, streetlights, dogs and taxes being too high. In May 1986 Montgomery showed up one day for work to find she was the lone employee. The receptionist, who had retired, had yet to be replaced, and the clerk-treasurer had left suddenly. She was subsequently offered the position of clerk-treasurer but told the reeve she “didn’t really want the job.” He suggested she try it for six months which she did. “It was a good decision,” said Montgomery. “Thirty years later I am still doing the work as clerk.” She has worked for three CAOs in Trent Hills and served as acting CAO between hirings. It was a position she “never wanted,” Montgomery said. She’s been the returning officer for ten of the 12 municipal elections she’s worked on. Montgomery oversaw the building of the Hastings Civic Centre in 1989 after the village’s town hall had burned down the previous year. In 2000, the councils of Hastings, Campbellford-Seymour and Percy Township voted to amalgamate. “This was a very tense year for employees as we were the smallest office and feared we were going to be taken

over,” she said, but that didn’t happen. Montgomery said co-workers “have always felt like a ‘family,’” and she is thankful for the support staff and council members showed her when she took a six-month leave of absence for treatment of cancer in 2005. She’s had a clean bill of health ever since then. “Staff are a great group and the interaction is what I will miss the most,” she said. Her “best supporter” has been her husband, Forrest, who’s been retired for seven years. “He wants me to be home,” said Montgomery, who at age 60, is taking early retirement. He has “spent a lot of time alone,” she said. “Very often I put my work first in my life.” Now she will have time for him and her mother and family who have also been “great supporters.” She and her husband bought a waterfront home three years ago in anticipation of her retirement. “We love the water and boating and our pink flower gardens and fish pond,”

Hypnotist JimmyG coming to Warkworth fall fair fundraiser

News - Warkworth - Laugh out loud fun comedy is coming to Warkworth as the Percy Agricultural Society (PAS) brings “North America’s most hilarious hypnotist” JimmyG to town for a fundraiser they hope everyone will be talking about up until fair time this fall. “This will be the first time we’ve had this show or done anything like this,” said Tracy Russell, the fair board’s secretary and a passionate promoter of PAS. The organization is always looking at new and innovative ways to raise money for the many needs that PAS has including putting on the fair. “The money we raise goes into putting on the fair but also into keeping up our fairgrounds. People may not realize that the fair is a huge expense,” Russell explained. “For example we pay to bring the midway here and they make their money … we do it to bring the crowds to our fair,” she explained. Gate receipts and special events including the car draw help pay for it all. “Our car draw is a huge fundraiser for us plus we host kids’ dances a couple of times a year at the town hall,” she noted. “We also get support from the Warkworth Community Service Club.” Bringing Jimmy G’s show to town is more than just a fundraiser though for PAS. “Doing things like this comedy show, well it helps us to raise money to continue doing events at the fair but it also brings awareness to who we are and what we do,” said Russell. And this is a special year for PAS, it’s

Hypnotist JimmyG’s show is coming to Warkworth as a fundraiser for the Percy Agricultural Society to help raise money for its fall fair.

the fair’s 165th anniversary. “To celebrate we are doing a lot of exciting things like bringing the Ontario Extreme Cowboy Show to the fair, and a new rabbit show, kind of like the Hot Diggity Dogs, who are also coming back,” she said with enthusiasm. JimmyG’s show is just one more way the agricultural society hopes to ensure these types of events will be part of their fair lineup. “JimmyG’s show is a great place to bring your mother out for a Mom’s day celebration, maybe get her hypnotized and have a fun experience you will be sharing with her for a long time to come,” said fair board President Greg Torrance. “And to put you on the favourite list bring her early so she is one of the first 59 ladies through the door who gets a surprise, so it even helps in the gift department,” he added with a grin. JimmyG’s show is promoted as “good

clean fun” for the whole family. There is limited seating so only 140 tickets will be sold for the event. The show will be held Friday, May 8, at the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts with doors opening at 7 p.m. and show time is 8:30 p.m. Advance tickets are $20. If any are left to sell they will cost $25 at the door. Tickets can be purchased in Hastings at the Home Hardware store and Captain’s Table, in Campbellford at Newman Insurance and Snapshots and in Warkworth at the Farm Supply and Eclectic Mix or call 705-924-3108. For more about the show go to <www. hypnotistjimmyg.com>. “We may be a very small group at PAS but we’re dedicated to keeping the fair going and this show is one way we think we can do it,” said Russell.

Percy Peewee Bulldogs take UCHL championship

By Jake Whalen

Sports - Warkworth - The Percy Peewee Bulldogs are United Counties Hockey League (UCHL) Champions. The Bulldogs finished their regular season in first place with a record of 17 wins and three ties. They also finished the roundrobin part of their playoffs in first with a record of eight wins and two ties. The Bulldogs had home ice advantage against secondplace Ennismore Eagles for the championship. Both teams knew the championship round (best two out of three) would be exciting as Ennismore handed Percy two ties in regular season and one tie in the round-robin playoffs. Percy travelled to Ennismore for the first game of the playoffs on Saturday, and ended up going home with the first loss of the season. Ennismore took this

game 6 - 4. The Bulldogs opened the scoring with about six minutes left in the first period on a goal from Riley Fairman assisted by Seb Russell. The Eagles responded a minute later to tie it up at one goal each. Ennismore pulled ahead at the 2:35 marker with a power play goal, putting them up 2 - 1. Percy came right back ten seconds later with a goal unassisted by Riley Mckenzie, knotting it up a two each. However, only 30 seconds later Ennismore capitalized on another power play to end the first with them up 3 - 2 and keep the lead for the rest of the game. Ennismore scored two more unanswered goals in the second to put them up 5 - 2. The Eagles started the third period with a goal right away and Percy found themselves down 6 - 2. Percy staged a two-goal comeback with

less than five minutes in the game on a goal from Mckenzie assisted by Austin Greenly and another from Michael Burgess assisted by Tosh Jamieson, but they ran out of time and the final score was 6 - 4 for Ennismore. The series now shifted to Warkworth where Percy had not lost or even tied a game all year. The Bulldogs were now in a must win situation. On Sunday Ennismore came to Percy’s barn and the Bulldogs continued their home game winning streak. Percy took the lead early in the first with one from Mckenzie, assisted by Nathan Trotter and Burgess. Ennismore tied it up early in the second on a power play goal to even things up at one each. The Bulldogs scored at 4:50 left in the second with the eventual game winner coming from Fairman assisted by The Percy Peewee Bulldogs are UCHL Champions.

Trotter. Percy scored another goal in the first from Mckenzie again assisted by Jamieson. Riley Fairman scored the only goal in the second assisted by Mckenzie and Jamieson again. Austin Greenly and Mckenzie scored one each in the third assisted by Morrison and Trotter. The Bulldogs won the game 5 0 and the UCHL Championship.

Tosh then handed the trophy over to his alternate captains, Riley Fairman and Maison Waldie. After the captains kissed the trophy it went from player to player. The Bulldogs worked hard all year on and off the ice, learning as many new skills as they could and polishing the ones they already had. Percy worked together as a team and never let anything get them down. The Bulldogs remained positive even if the score was not in their favour; they kept their heads up and eventually everything worked out.

Vet clinic receives training to care for injured turtles

By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - For turtles, nesting season is around the corner and that often comes with deadly consequences. The sight of injured or dead turtles on the sides of roads is common in May and June, as female turtles often cross roads in the spring to find dry sand to lay eggs in, only to be hit by cars. Fortunately, for friends of the hard-shelled species, a Belleville veterinary clinic has formed a partnership with the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre that will hopefully save some turtle lives. It’s an important step because seven of eight turtle species found in Ontario are considered at risk and one of the biggest threats to their existence is road deaths, said Sue Carstairs, the executive director of the Trauma Centre. Carstairs visited Bay Regional Veterinary Hospital in eastend Belleville on Thursday, March 25, to train two vets, Dr. Linda Hack and Dr. Naomi Scromeda, on how to treat injured turtles. Now, the vet clinic can take in injured turtles (at no cost) and give them basic treatments before delivering them to the Trauma Centre, located just outside Peterborough. Scromeda and Hack said they found the training interesting and hope they can contribute to preserving turtle species this summer. They feel it will benefit turtle lovers in Belleville, who may not be able to take an injured turtle up to the Trauma Centre directly. One of the messages all three women want to get out is that turtles are worth saving, even if they seem close to death. “They can recover from things that no other species can,” said Carstairs. They pointed out that as long as there’s a head to turtle, there’s a chance it can be saved. And even if the turtle is dead, it’s still worth bringing in, as eggs from a dead female can sometimes still be harvested. The role of Bay Regional Veterinary Hospital in this partnership will be to Bay Regional Veterinary Hospital Doctors Naomi Scromeda (left) and Linda Hack (right) flank Sue Carstairs of the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre. The two vets received training to help injured turtles. Please see “Hundreds” on page B3 Photo: Stephen Petrick

Castleton couple lands another award for kale chip business By John Campbell

News - Colborne - It’s been one award after another the past three months for Adrian and Draupadi Quinn. It all began last December when the couple won the Premier Award for AgriFood Innovations for growing kale and turning the leaves into air-dried chips high in fibre at their Kaley Acres farm near Castleton. Since then Brandneu Foods Canada Inc., the grassroots company they created in 2014 with Ecoideas Innovations Inc., in Markham, to produce and distribute the chips across Canada and into the United States, has collected three more awards. Northumberland County was the first to honour them locally. The Town of Cobourg and Northumberland Central Chamber of Commerce followed suit early in March, and, last Friday, Cramahe Township made it three in a row by naming Brandneu Foods the municipality’s best new business at its Business Achievement Awards. “Out of all the awards they’ve won this has to be the most recent,” Mayor Marc Coombs quipped in making the announcement at the Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre in Colborne. “These folks have come a long way,” winning awards at the regional and provincial level, Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi said. “That’s something to be proud of.” Adrian Quinn, president of Brandneu

Foods, said he and his wife were “honoured and a little shocked and in disbelief to be getting so much acknowledgment for kale.” They never imagined that was in their future when, “a little bit crazy,” they bought a “semi-derelict” former tobacco farm in 2010, during “tough economic times.” Their venture grew into Brandneu Foods, which now operates out of a

70,000-square-foot building in Cobourg and manufactures 12 flavours of nutrientrich kale chips. “It’s very exciting times,” Quinn said of the rapid expansion his company has enjoyed to meet demand. Last year it planted kale on 48 acres with the help of local farmers, and “we’re increasing that by 50 per cent this year,” he said, and the plan is to have “at least a

thousand acres” in production by 2019. “Northumberland will begin feeding the world kale.” Its success has been largely thanks to the employees, said Quinn, who pointed out they have been working six days a week to fill a big order from Bulk Barn. The couple started out with Kokimo Candles, which is currently “in the middle of a facelift” in advance of its 20th

anniversary next year. Quinn welcomed the advent of the Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre, saying it will help his company diversify into other commodities and products. “We don’t have space to develop those formulations in our own facilities,” he said. “We’re going to be doing a lot of work here with some of the new products [being planned].”

Agri-food Venture Centre given more funding as opening day approaches By John Campbell

News - Colborne - The Ontario AgriFood Venture Centre, just weeks away from opening its doors for business, has received an additional $225,000 in funding from the federal government. Northumberland-Quinte West MP Rick Norlock, who made the announcement at the centre March 27, said the money is being provided by a network of Community Futures Development Corporations in eastern Ontario who “see the value” of a niche food small batch processing facility for vegetable and fruit growers in the region. The grant, made available through the Eastern Ontario Development Program Collaborative Projects stream, raises

the total amount the corporations have provided for the project to almost a halfmillion dollars, Norlock said. Northumberland County director of economic development and tourism Dan Borowec said the “pay-to-play” facility in Colborne’s industrial park ”will help in many ways create second-source income” for farmers” by acting as “a launchpad” for new ventures. “We’ve been at this for almost five years,” beginning with the research and the development that went into preparing a proposal that all levels of government and the community supported, he said. The 15,000-square-foot facility, the only one of its kind in the province, has been designed to process, freeze,

refrigerate, store, package and test foods as well as provide business support and educational and meeting space. “We’ve been entertaining about a half-dozen requests on a daily basis,” from prospective clients, Borowec said, and conducting tours twice a day for individuals interested in using the facility. Most of them when they leave “are very much in awe of what they can do,” he added. Borowec said the centre has drawn attention from numerous entrepreneurs looking to “launch a product without losing their homes or investing everything they have in an idea.” Partners include post-secondary

institutions such as Loyalist College and the Business Advisory Centre of Northumberland that can give them the support they need to get their plans off the ground. The total cost of the centre “is about $2.2 million, of which 50 per cent has come from federal and provincial sources,” Borowec said in an interview. The hope is to be operational by midApril and to start production in early May. Those wishing to use the facility can register online at <www.oafvc.ca>. “The more we know the better we can schedule use of the facility,” he said. “It looks like we could be amazingly busy … We’re pleased.”

Defence minister speaks to local Tories News - Norwood - Federal Defence Minister Jason Kenney met with Peterborough federal Conservative hopeful Michael Skinner during a party function at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre hosted by Northumberland-Peterborough South Tory candidate Adam Moulton. Moulton received strong backing from Kenney during his bid to win the newly minted riding’s Conservative federal candidacy. Moulton, 24, defeated former prime minister Brian Mulroney aide Paul Smith for the nomination and will face Kim Rudd (Liberal) and Russ Christianson (NDP) in the next

federal election. The riding was created in 2012 during the federal electoral boundaries redistribution and now includes Asphodel-Norwood and Otonabee South Monaghan. Michael Skinner is seeking the Conservative nomination in Peterborough riding. The party has been without a candidate since the resignation of Dean Del Mastro. During the Norwood meeting Kenney offered partisan support to party members extolling the virtues of the federal government.

Then, once they Trauma Centre at 705-741-5000. Staff get to the Trauma Centre, Carstairs and her team will take care of them. Carstairs explained that the shell of a turtle is really a bone. Just like a human’s bones, if the shell is set back in place it will heal in time. She said that last year, the Trauma Centre took in 400 turtles, and the majority recovered and were released back into the wild. The centre also released about 800 baby turtles, as a result of eggs that were saved. Carstairs, Hack and Scromeda said they all want to save turtles because they love the species and feel it’s the morally right thing to do. But Carstairs added that turtles also play an important role in preserving our environment. They represent one of the most significant species in the ecosystem of natural wetlands, which “act as a kidney, or a filter, to our water sources,” Carstairs said. However, those very wetlands are on the decline because of urban development, which further contributes to the decline of turtle populations, she said. “We’re part of the cause, so we want to be part of the solution,” said Scromeda. The three women offered a few tips to the public, when caring for turtles. They urge people not to put an injured turtle in water. If there are cracks in the turtle’s shell, the water could get into their lungs and make it difficult for them to breathe. They also suggest that if a person wants to remove a turtle found on the road, they should put it on the side of the road it was going to. Otherwise, the turtle will cross the road again in search of food or Continued from page B1

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Truth is, this war is going to cost us all very dearly

Dear Editor, One hundred and twenty two million loonies. $122 million. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around such a big number. I have an even harder time imagining what my world

would be like if that amount suddenly landed in my bank account. Since I never buy lottery tickets odds of it happening are zero. However, I do wonder what 122 million loonies in a pile would actually look like.

Here is some multiplication and division to help develop that mental picture. Ten loonies stacked up are two centimetres high. In 122 million there would be 12,200,000 stacks of ten loonies. Times two centimetres

gives you 24,400,000 centimetres. Divide that by 100 centimetres and you get 244,000 metres. The CN Tower in Toronto is 553 meters high. So, if you had 122 million loonies, and stacked them as high as the CN

The numbers game Dear Editor, A couple of weeks ago I pointed out that since the Liberal government came to power, the number of people on the provincial payroll being paid in excess of $100,000 per year had increased from 12,000 in 2003 to 88,000 in 2013. The figures are in for 2014 and the number has increased to over 111,000, an obscene 26 per cent increase in one year. I have read that Premier Kathleen Wynne and her finance minister are on top of this problem. I suspect the province will declare bankruptcy long before they do anything about it. And now on to the local numbers. Every year, we see the same

thing in the papers, budgets, tax increases, public employees want a pay raise; you’ve all seen it before. What I found really interesting this time was the use of buzz words and terminology, such as “bite the bullet” and “pay now or pay later.” I am also a little confused over numbers. If we only have had 1.5 per cent increases, how come my taxes went up by a substantially larger number? There was talk of a 5.46 per cent increase, which seems to have been reduced to 4.88 per cent. Councillor Fred Kuypers is calling for a maximum of 2.5 per cent and Councillor Jim Alyea says, “4.88 per cent is too high.” They are both right.

I also noted comments about want more,” and quite frankly I levels of service. Not really sure am sick and tired of the entitlewhat to say about this. I don’t ment from these groups.

Clinic launches new Low Back Pain Project

Tower, you could build 441 loonie towers. Our Defence Minister Jason Kenney stated $122 million is the number of our tax dollars which Stephen Harper spent bombing Iraq for the last six months. Kenney’s claim was challenged by the Parliamentary Budget Officer Jean-Denis Fréchette, who put the cost of the mission between $129 million and $166 million. The Parliamentary Budget Office is extrapolating costs because the Department of Defence refuses to give them any information. However, some mathematical realists at The Ottawa Citizen made “estimates derived from publicly available information about the number of sorties and departmental operating cost estimates of the different aircraft, including full costs of personnel salaries, general maintenance and equipment depreciation and came up with a full-cost of the six-month mission of between $178 million and $266 million taxpayer dollars.” Whatever the real number is one could build at least 441 piles of loonies as high as the CN Tower … or perhaps 800. Add the new year-long commitment to war Harper just made for us and we are likely up to 2,400. When listening to the Harper Government so transparently telling us what we are paying to bomb foreigners, innocents and religious lunatics alike, remember these are the same guys who lied to us about the cost of buying those F-35 stealth fighter jets Harper wanted so badly back in 2011. Defense Minister Peter McKay told us $14.7 billion would buy them just before the 2011 election. Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page told us $30 billion was the more realistic price tag. Kevin was soon out of a job. Auditor General Michael Ferguson consequently backed Kevin Page up with a $25 billion estimate. Conservatives

had to know what they were telling Canadians was a $10 billion lie. Can’t imagine that pile of loonies. So why will anyone believe Harper’s Finance Minister Joe Oliver when he hands down a balanced budget sometime in April as part of the Conservatives’ delusional propaganda for the 2015 election? Since gaining majority government power Harper has bent every environmental assessment rule and silenced every scientist while castigating anyone who stands in his way to sell all of the oil in Fort McMurray to the Chinese as fast as he can. Then the sheiks in the part of our planet Harper likes to bomb decided it was time to teach him a lesson in economic warfare. Oil is at $46 a barrel today and Conservative Alberta is fast being brought to its knees. Obviously incapable of controlling the Canadian economy and knowing that no wartime President of the United States has ever been voted out of office Harper takes us to war. Six months has just turned into another year. A year will turn into two … or ten like Afghanistan. Billions of our loonies will fall into the black hole called war. For Joe Oliver to balance Harper’s budget for his 2015 election propaganda the provinces must get less cash. Provinces then cut transfers to municipalities after recently dumping all of the old provincial highways and other former provincial responsibilities on them. Toronto infrastructure crumbles. Stirling Council just slashed another $11,000 from our Library budget. The buck stops here. Trickle down economics indeed. War impoverishes us all in many almostinvisible ways. Alan Coxwell Stirling

Ducks Unlimited hosting 30th anniversary dinner and charity auction By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - What do an ornamental fire hydrant, grizzly bear sculpture, Savage shotgun/22Cal rifle, a flying waterfowl bench and a fire pit have in common? These are just some of items among the dozens being featured at the 30th annual Wetlands Conservation Dinner and Charity Auction being hosted by the Campbellford Chapter of Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC). “The night will be filled with a silent auction, the sounds of a live auction and a mystery prize will add to the excitement,” said Jeff Weaver, who along with Wayne Buck, is a founder of the local chapter. And to celebrate the 30th anniversary, he and Cathy Stephen, chair of the event

for the second year in a row, have plenty planned for a fun evening. “We’re earmarking the 30th celebration with something special,” said Weaver. “Our dress code theme this year will be ‘camo’ [camouflage] clothing,” he said with a big grin, all decked out in his camouflage outfit that he will be sporting that night. Referencing the TV reality show Duck Dynasty, he talked about the growing popularity of “camo” clothing. “It is becoming quite trendy. “ “Camo is something different and it allows those that do hunt to dress in the camouflage clothing although we also have a lot of non-hunting people who don’t need to wear camo outfits,” he added. “To add to the night’s fun there

will be a prize for the best dressed camo outfit,” Weaver commented. A duck and goose call set which features Buck Gardner calls, one mallard and one gander, and features the Ducks Unlimited logo, will be included in the auction. In the 30 years the dinner and charity auction has been held the club has raised more than $487,000. “We’re hoping to top the $500,000 mark,” Weaver said. “And we will be having bigger door prizes this year, including a 22 calibre gun,” said Stephen. Guns have always been a big draw for the club’s event, bringing people from miles around. Also on the auction block is a 12gauge Benelli Nova and Savage Bolt All decked out in their “camo” clothing, Jeff Weaver and Cathy Stephen are busy getting the word out Action .17 HMR rifle with scope. about their biggest fundraiser of the year on Saturday, April 18.

at the event this year,” said Weaver. There will also be limited edition stamped prints and Ducks Unlimited’s Artist of the Year Mike Smith’s artwork “Quiet Anticipation.” “This year we also have furniture as well as luggage, golf bags and a smoker. A lot of people are into smoking their food now, even though they may not necessarily be hunters,” Weaver noted. Jim Nelson of Brighton will again be auctioneering. “The silent and live auction, raffles and door prizes are all part of the fun.” Doors open at 6 p.m. for an “attitude adjustment” hour when the silent auction takes place. Dinner is a 7 p.m. and is being catered by Betty Wickman who has been cooking up a popular “smorgasbord of roast beef, chicken and turkey,” for the event for the past 15 years. The $40 ticket includes a membership and the publication “Ducks Ontario.” The Campbellford chapter has anywhere from 175 to 300 members any given year and new members are always welcome. “The bottom line for all of us is the environment and conservation,” said Weaver. The club uses its money to protect wetlands for future generations. The dinner and charity auction takes place Saturday, April 18, at the curling club. Tickets can be obtained from any chapter member or online at <www. ducks.ca> or by calling 706-653-2498, 705-653-1179 or 705-778-7458 or at the Weaver Family Funeral Home in Campbellford.

TRAVEL By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - Back in February, when we were facing a steady dose of bitterly cold weather and steady snowfalls, I wondered to myself if we’d ever see spring this year, but it has, indeed, arrived. The snowdrifts have finally subsided, the robins have returned, the maple syrup is running, and the annual tulip festivals are about to flourish. At this special time of year, my thoughts always drift back to my past spring visit to the Netherlands, where I journeyed through one of the most magnificent displays of tulips to be found anywhere in the world,

Tiptoeing through the tulips offer displays of such varieties as azaleas, orchids, and lilies. For example, I happened to be in the Willem-Alexander Pavilion at the time of its presentation of the world’s largest lily show, and I also visited the Juliana Pavilion where I found a fascinating history of the tulip, the Bulb Information Pavilion, the Beatrix Pavilion with its several varieties of orchids, Azalea Lane, Beech Tree Lane, Japanese Garden, Natural Garden, Inspiration Gardens, Zocher Garden with its stepping stones within a pond, Keukenhof Castle with its art exhibition, Children’s Paradise Inside the Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands. with its playground, maze, and City,” and it puts on a really big place between May 2 and 9, and show, with a great variety of you can expect to find lots of parades and events. This year’s Dutch dance performances and “Tulip Time Festival” takes a plethora of wooden shoes. I’d

also recommend sampling some traditional Dutch cooking while in this area, including such “delicacies” as Dutch Pea Soup, Pigs in the Blanket, Meatballs with Red Cabbage, Spice Cookies, and Dutch Apple Pie. The above tulip festivals are all worthwhile destinations, but, of course, we don’t have to journey far away at all to enjoy springtime tulips. After all, our very own “Canadian Tulip Festival” takes place in nearby Ottawa, and this year’s festivities occur between May 8 and May 18. Many of us are already familiar with the fascinating historical details that led to the “Gift of Tulips”; in the fall of 1945 Princess Juliana of the Netherlands presented Ottawa with 100,000 tulip bulbs, a gift that was given in appreciation of the safe haven members of the exiled royal family received in Ottawa during World War

II and in recognition of the role which Canadian troops played in the liberation of the Netherlands. Since that time, the tulips have proliferated in Ottawa, and they now serve as a symbol of peace, freedom, and international friendship. If you do decide to take in our major tulip festival this year, I’d recommend a drive along the designated “Tulip Route,” which connects several national institutions through Ottawa and Gatineau. And one of my favourite ways to see these tulips, in past years, has simply been to cycle along the area’s magnificent paved recreational paths. I’ve had the good fortune to ride on all these interconnected trails, and I’ve found them to be a great addition to our capital city and a great way to view those stunning tulips.

petting farm, and Mill Square a great place from which to take a photo of the surrounding tulip fields. If you want to experience a large tulip festival out of our country but closer to home, I’d recommend two U.S. destinations. Washington State’s “Skagit Valley Tulip Festival” runs through the entire month of April, and it offers over 300 acres of brightly coloured tulips in the northwest corner of the state, near the British Columbia border. It’s said that “more tulip, iris, and daffodil bulbs are produced here than in any other county in the U.S.,” and a visit here will provide you with inspirational views of these spring flowers. You can enjoy a drive by the fields for free, but I’d recommend stopping at both Roozen Gaarde and Tulip Town, the beautiful display gardens. Closer to home, I’d recommend a visit to Holland, Michigan. This rather small Dutch settlement to the west of us is often referred to as “Tulip

in the Keukenhof Gardens. After all, this destination in Lisse, near Amsterdam, is known as “The Garden of Europe,” and it has been said to be “the most beautiful spring garden in the world.” Millions of tulips are planted within this 32-hectare park every year, and I was able to enjoy the incredible floral display by simply walking along some of the destination’s 15 kilometres of footpaths. I was also able to get a better appreciation of the entire area by cycling through the region, past the nearby fields of tulips in full bloom. What an incredible sight. This year’s “Keukenhof Tulip Festival” is already in progress, for it runs from March 20 to May 17, and it features about a thousand varieties of tulips. You’ll also find spectacular displays of other spring flowers here, too, including crocuses, hyacinths, and daffodils. There are also beautiful shrubs, statues, waterfalls, lakes, fountains, artistic works, and pavilions on this property, and the pavilions

The real dirt on farming

Dan Clost Lifestyles - Gentle Reader, I had decided to write a column about our Canadian farmers and in my opinion, the unfair and unfounded negative publicity they were enduring. The latest issue is the bees. The uproar about the specific type of pesticide being used to treat seeds in some crops was the tipping point. There is no argument on anybody’s part that pesticides kill bees and other insects; that’s their purpose. However, it ain’t necessarily the “neocons” that are causing the problems. As you might imagine, the North American gardening press is all over this topic; it is absolutely astonishing the disparity between the learned opinions being put forth both on the Internet listserves and in their various publications. Similar to what you’re

g in at rs! r leb ea Ce 23 Y

reading at the moment. Please check out the Huffington Post entry of March 29, 2015, “Bee Experts Dismantle …” by Jon Entine. Do take a moment to investigate both his credentials and any motivations he might have to write this article. One last comment on bees and this is purely speculative on my part. What is the correlation, in Canada for sure and in many other parts of the world, anecdotally gathered from other garden writers’ comments, that the areas where the bees are enduring the most difficult times in both Colony Collapse Disorder (simply put: the foragers leave the hive and don’t come back) and bee death, are those that are the most heavily populated and industrialised? Currently, there are television ads, which talk about a restaurant chain using 100 per cent Canadian beef that is hormone free. The two implications are 1.) Other restaurants don’t; and 2.) Not all Canadian beef is hormone free. If you go to their website (A&W) you’ll note that this disclaimer “Our 100% Pure Beef Guarantee means that all of our beef is raised without any added hormones or steroids …) Folks, I have nothing against A&W and I think their campaign is true and effective. You can also go to McDonald’s website and read From Beef to Burger. The challenge with this type of advertising is that many Canadians (who

I think are clever, intelligent and wellmeaning folk) just don’t know enough about agriculture and farming. There can be little discernment when there is little knowledge. I think it would be great if the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) got on board with national campaigns to explain just how good and safe our food is. GR, long-time readers of this column know that I worry about the loss of connection between ourselves and this good earth which sustains us. I approach it from the perspective of gardening, which today means horticulture more than agriculture, although I try to slip in as much as I can about vegetables and farmers’ markets. The gap has reached such a distance that our Canadian farmers are resorting to their own national campaigns. This week many newspapers had an insert entitled, The Real Dirt on Farming. I hope everyone reads it and follows up on the links to the websites <www.RealDirtonFarming.ca> and <www.FarmCareFoundation.ca>. We have the safest food on the planet and the cheapest food on the planet and we owe that to our Canadian farmers. The two best things we can do are to continue to support them by purchasing Canadian foods and equally important, informing ourselves about agriculture. On a different note, Landscape Ontario is all about improving the horticultural industry in this province

It is known that the weapon on the north side of the cenotaph was captured in 1918 during the Battle of Arras, Lowry says, but the story behind the gun on the south side is less certain. As well, the Arras weapon appears to have been disabled by a sniper’s shot and the restoration may lead to a conclusive answer, he adds, “if we find a .303

bullet in there.” Lowry says that the guns, capable of firing 500 rounds per minute, were watercooled using a chamber that surrounded the barrel and marksmen would deliberately aim for it hoping to quickly overheat the weapon rendering it useless. The guns in Harold are among three examples of war trophies that are still on display in Hastings County, Lowry says, and they represent an important part of both local and Canadian history. But the remaining local pieces, which also include a trench mortar in Madoc and a field artillery piece in Trenton, are only a small fraction of the enemy weapons that ultimately arrived in Canada after World War I. Research suggests nearly 15,000 weapons including rifles, machine guns, mortars and field pieces were brought to Canada by the Canadian government during and after the war and many of those were distributed and displayed in communities across the country. A significant number, Lowry says, were scrapped during World War II, including a pair of machine guns received by the village of Stirling. The fate of a similar Please see “Gun” on page B19

Gun restoration started

I will pay $15 for the kettle Make it $20 and its yours.

One of two World War I machine guns at the Harold cenotaph appears to have been hit by a sniper’s bullet. A restoration project now under way may determine the cause of a hole in the weapon’s cooling system. Continued from page B18

pair that arrived in Marmora is unknown, but they too may have been scrapped. Stirling Legion Branch President George Jones says the project came as welcome news to the organization with the membership agreeing to cover the $1,500 cost of restoring the guns. The captured weapons, which were originally collected in order to establish a

war museum, were instead offered to communities, institutions and organizations for display purposes, Lowry says. The cenotaph in Harold, which was formally dedicated in 1922, was constructed for $2,000, he adds, noting that was a considerable amount of money at the time. And the monument is unique in other ways as well. A total of 167 names are listed on the granite monument, including

those who served and returned as well as those lost in battle. In most cases, Lowry says, it is only the fallen who are commemorated. And while the cenotaph itself remains in excellent condition, Lowry says, the flanking guns are showing their age. With all the appropriate permissions now in place, he says, the guns are expected to be removed in mid-April for restoration.
