Taxes to drop slightly in Trent Hills with proposed budget By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills - A modest drop in the education tax rate means residential property owners will pay a few dollars less in taxes this year, if the municipal draft budget approved by Trent Hills council last week passes into bylaw May 5. Should the bottom line remain as is, residents will see $4.65 trimmed from the $1,427 they paid in municipal, county and education taxes last year for every $100,000 their property is assessed. The municipal portion only of the overall tax bills will actually go up, by less than one per cent, to support an increase of nearly $2 million in local spending to $20,892,551. More than half, $10,883,745, will be raised through the general levy, to help cover the cost of operations ($13,492,597), capital projects ($7,009,573) and loan repayments ($390,381). Most of what the municipality spends on operations Please see “Big ticket� on page 3

Volunteers needed for raceway cleanup, planting project By Bill Freeman

News - Hastings - Volunteers are needed to help with a cleanup and planting project April 18 along the Hastings Raceway, a jewel of a site just north of the Lock 18 swing bridge. Long on the agenda of the Hastings Revitalization Association, the cleanup initiative was given new impetus when an HRA proposal received funding support from the Hastings Environmental Group (HEG) which is administering the $25,000

grand prize Hastings received after winning the World Fishing Network’s 2012 Ultimate Fishing Town Canada championship. A call for environmental and fishing related projects generated a number of proposals and the raceway submission was one of four selected by the public at an open meeting at the Hastings Legion., The raceway proposal entailed removing invasive trees and garbage from the shoreline and waterway and creating a

healthier habitat for wildlife. VanTill Tree Care, out of Campbellford, has already removed a number of Manitoba maples a step that went smoothly, says Shannon Lawrence of the Hastings Environmental Group. “The only [part] that required a bit of manoeuvring was beside the former La Gondola location and that was only because of the slope in that area,” Lawrence said. The man-made raceway was

constructed in the mid- to late1830s when the government of the day built the dam. The original mill was located closer to the Trent River and then moved to where the small bridge is situated with the raceway created to provide waterpower the river was no longer capable of producing because of the construction of the dam. That mill was later rebuilt where it currently stands, says Lawrence. She says most of the garbage they can see appears to be recyclable material blown into the water from the curb before it could be collected. “We have no idea what is beneath the surface.” Divers are “not an option” because the raceway is too shal-

low, she added. The group’s “main focus” for planting will be the shoreline between the empty lot next to the Reg Ward Insurance building on Front Street, behind the laundromat and along the shore behind the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 300 and the LCBO outlet. There will be over 600 trees, shrubs and perennials there for planting, says Lawrence. “That’s a lot of planting so some will be placed in other spots along the shoreline but the focus will be the north shore [because] that’s where we removed the trees.” Nothing will be planted next to the La Gondola because of possible future construction there.

On the prowl for chocolate in Hastings Alexis Bronson and Jason Caldwell were on the hunt for chocolate eggs in Hastings during the fourth annual Hastings Easter Egg Hunt which is traditionally held at Hastings Public School but was moved to the soccer fields at Fowlds Millennium Park because of wet and soggy conditions in the school yard. The egg hunt is organized every year by Stacey Archibald and family with help from local supporters and she said this will be the last one she will lead, making a point of thanking sponsors that included Hastings Village Video, Darrell Little, Reg Ward Insurance, Darlene Forde and the Sampson family. Over 5,000 eggs were up for grabs along with some special prizes.

The April 18 cleanup begins at 10 a.m. with volunteers asked to meet at the empty lot between Reg Ward Insurance and Salon Iris. This is an ideal opportunity for area high school students to pick up some community volunteer hours, says Lawrence. The rain date is April 19. The HEG is asking volunteers to bring their boots, hip waders (if they own a pair), rakes, shovels and other tools that might help the cause. Lawrence is asking for volunteers to contact her at 705-6962879 so they can get an idea of what sort of equipment people can provide. Beverages will be provided by Banjo’s Grill and snacks by realtor Jayne Porter.

Big ticket capital projects included in proposed budget will go to wages ($5,105,336), policing ($2,666,928) and materials ($1,186,099). The budget’s good news included a $332,508 reduction in Trent Hills’ policing costs; the bad news included receiving $91,500 less from the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (the new total is $2,646,900) and having to pay $67,605 more for insurance. The big-ticket capital projects include $3.2 million to complete the Hastings field house, $650,000 to convert streetlights to LED (which will be recovered over five years through annual savings in hydro and repair costs), $450,000 to resurface roads, $450,000 to repair bridges, and $240,000 to purchase a snow plow. CAO Mike Rutter pointed out 2015 will be the sixth and final year the municipality increases the amount it sets aside for recreation redevelopment by $75,000 annually. The new total collected each year for this purpose is $450,000, enhanced by an additional $50,000 received annually from the federal government for hydro rights Trent Hills possesses. The field house is now expected to open by early July. Trent Hills also has plans to expand the Warkworth arena and build a recreation and wellness centre in Campbellford that includes a new rink and pool,

when federal and provincial funding becomes available. The municipality is setting aside $175,000 for building maintenance, which it has been “very lax� in keeping up with over time, Rutter said. Another $125,000 will be earmarked for facilities, such as the Hastings Village Marina where docks will need to be replaced at some point. Rutter also highlighted a number of areas where Trent Hills will be spending much smaller amounts that are nonetheless important to providing good service, such as replacing computers, improving accessibility to municipal buildings (“an area where we’re far behind,� he said, which will present “challenges in the coming years�), replacing firefighters’ self-contained breathing apparatus and bunker gear, fixing sidewalks, and sealing cracks in urban roads. One expenditure that didn’t have a cost attached at this point is a new fire hall in Campbellford. Trent Hills purchased the former Giant Tiger property on River Street and now a detailed design needs to be done of what it could include. Mayor Hector Macmillan has suggested the building include apartments on the second floor, and “we’ve talked about the potential for a council chamber,� Rutter said.

“There are lots of options for that property [but] we need a fire hall sooner rather than later,� he said, because the existing station has “structural issues.� Macmillan said he wants “to make sure we do it right,� so that whatever is decided upon will give taxpayers the best bang for their dollar “out of every square foot of that property.� New this year is a $10,000 grant the municipality will give the Cat Care Spay Neuter Initiative to help keep the feral cat population in check. The draft budget, which can be viewed on the municipal website, will be presented to the public at a special meeting April 20 at the Hastings Civic Centre. The meeting starts at 6 p.m. with a presentation of the water and sewer budget. Council will give first and second readings to a bylaw approving both budgets at its meeting the next day and third and final reading two weeks later, on May 5, to give the public time to offer comment and suggestions.

PUBLIC MEETING TO REVIEW WATER & SEWER BUDGETS AND RATES Notice is given that the Council of the Municipality of Trent Hills will be holding a Public Meeting to provide information and details of a draft water and sewer budget and rates and fees for 2015. The public will be given the opportunity to provide their comments and ask questions. The Public Meeting will be held at 6:00 p.m. on April 20, 2014, at Hastings Civic Centre, 6 Albert St. E., Hastings. Anyone wishing to provide written comments should submit them to the Clerk prior to April 15, 2015.

St. Mary’s school receives $10,000 from MusiCounts to purchase musical instruments

By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - A drum roll set the scene for the “big reveal� at the unveiling of a myriad of musical instruments during a recent assembly for the schoolchildren of St. Mary’s Elementary in Campbellford. An African Djembe drum was suddenly on display as well as acoustic guitars, a bright red bass guitar, congos, bongo drums, recorders, saxophones, trumpets and more.

It was all part of a special morning at the school when Principal Virginia Marini and music teacher Paula Kirkland announced the school had received $10,000 from MusiCounts, Canada’s music education charity. Applause and cheers from staff and students marked the celebration which included a performance by the school band. “I became aware of the

clarinets so they were purchased too. Since MusiCounts’ establishment in 1997, nearly $7,000,000 will have been awarded to help support music education in Canada. The program celebrated JUNO Week in March by announcing the 2014-2015 recipients of the Band Aid Program, which included St. Mary’s school. This year, the charity has distributed $595,000 in musical instruments among 69 schools nationwide in support of their individual music programs. SiriusXM Canada also announced a contribution of $100,000 to MusiCounts’ Band

Aid Program, which brought their total support to date up to over $1.3 million. To demonstrate to the community some of the results of their music program, which also includes a choir, St. Mary’s will soon be presenting its annual musical. “We have an amazing musical to put on to show the vocal talent of our kids,� said Marini with excitement. St. Mary’s will be showcasing “High School Musical Junior� on April 28 and 29. More details will follow. To learn more about MusiCounts go to: <http://www. musicounts.ca/>.

There are people who live in the flood areas who believe that it is a municipal responsibility� to provide more help than rescue operations. They get “very angry� when they’re told it’s not, he said. “It’s time [they] started doing something for themselves� because properties that become flooded is a matter for insurance, if they have any. The municipality’s responsibility stops at the end of the driveway, Macmillan said. He again floated the idea of a program in

which a local contractor would be engaged to raise flood-prone cottages and homes. “It’s a far less expensive proposition than

The mayor said there weren’t “any major indicators� that flooding would occur again

this year but he wanted council to make

a decision well before next spring to give property owners “proper advance notice� if the municipality chose to change its practice. “Some property owners have made improvements [and] raised their building,� he said. “We need to do our best to encourage all of them to do that. “I have a really hard time sending in staff and volunteers to haul someone out, to flood proof their property, and then they’re not willing to do anything on their own,� Macmillan said.

From the school choir to the school band there’s plenty of opportunity for every student to participate. “We could have just put this into extracurricular music but then you are only tapping into those kids that have the ability to stay after school whereas now we’ve got the support that is going to help all the kids,� Marini noted. For example, the school purchased enough recorders for all the students in the junior grades. And Kirkland wants to introduce the school’s band members to some of the jazz equipment such as trumpets, trombones, flutes and

program MusiCounts because the board office [Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic District School Board] sends information about grants we can apply for so I did. It was a huge application process,� Kirkland told the Trent Hills Independent. She approached many in the community for letters of support and was overwhelmed by the response. From Amy Jo Doherty of St. Mary’s Catholic School Parent Council to the Catholic Women’s League, to the director of the school board and more, letters arrived to be attached to the application. Students were also asked for their “wish lists.� “Campbellford has a very strong musical tradition and so this school always has put lots of energy into having that music support,� noted Marini. Music is part of the school’s curriculum but it is also an extracurricular activity. The decision was made to spend the grant money on instruments that can be used by students in the music program, so everyone has the opportunity to learn. “I think it’s incredible just how much talent is in our school and I have to wonder at what so many people

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A letter to Premier Kathleen Wynne concerning Hydro One

Ms. Kathleen Wynne: When are you going to fix this mess you and your Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli have made? How do you sleep at night knowing full well that Hydro One has driven us, the people of Ontario, into poverty? Our bills are outrageous to say the least. How can you justify Delivery Charges being more than the usage? I want to know, as well as others that are on Hydro One, the itemized charges that go under the category of Delivery Charges. Seems to us that you may be hiding something. Why I ask do

we pay for Line Loss? Seems to me and my accounting designation that Line Loss is a cost of doing business that should not be added to our bills. Now let me ask you why the HST is added to a service of necessity? We, the people of Ontario, are totally against the selling of any Hydro One stock. Why should we pay for Toronto transit and the like when we don’t live there? Furthermore, you got us into this debt because of your scandalous ways with Hydro One so get yourself out of it. Don’t pass your inept way of running

Hydro One on to us the taxpayers. We, the people, demand: 1) Immediate removal of the HST 2) Itemize the so-called Delivery Charges, then lower those charges so we are paying the same as everyone else whether it be rural, medium density, urban or low density. 3) Remove the Debt Retirement as we, the people have more than paid your debt off. Mismanagement of monies is on your part not ours. 4) Remove the so-called smart meters from our homes. Smart meters

are not safe for our health, they emit radiation and smart meters are not CSA approved.
Nor are they even calibrated before placing on our homes. Last but not least, house insurances will not cover us if our house burns down. We, the people, demand that you do what you need to do now so we Ontarians cannot be worried how we are going to pay for your outlandish bills you send us and cause us to choose food over Hydro. People are losing their houses because of the high Hydro bills that are higher than their rent or mortgage. You are

driving businesses away and people are leaving Ontario. Next thing we know, Ontario will be bankrupt. So I ask you to do what is morally right and fix this mess you got us all into. What are you going to do Kathleen Wynne? Let me remind you that this Hydro One issue will be a bone of contention when the next election comes about. Enough is enough. Cameron M. O’Nanski, Brighton

Havelock Lions throw egg‌ ceptional party By Bill Freeman

overwhelming; even as late as this morning the Amazing Dollar store brought bags down. It’s just incredible.� Community sponsorship is a hallmark of the event and organizer Vicki Blakely agreed that this year was an exceptional example of that. “We had quite a bit of sponsorship so the egg hunt part is free for the kids,� Blakely said. “They really stepped up; there was quite a bit of candy donated so we were able to do the bags almost free. That really helped so we were able to do the hunt for free; we’re really happy with that.� The list is long but Blakely also singled out the Amazing Dollar and their hefty donation of candy bags.

OPINION

The Middle East: Iran is back Editorial - “This (Arab) nation, in its darkest hour, has never faced a challenge to its existence and a threat to its identity like the one it’s facing now,” said General Abdel Fattah alSisi, now the ruler of Egypt. And you wanted to say: Not the Not the Gwynne Dyer Crusades? Mongol invasion? Not even the European conquest of the entire Arab world between 1830 and 1920? You really think the gravest threat ever to Arab existence and identity is a bunch of tribal warriors in Yemen? Sisi was addressing the Arab League summit in Cairo last week that created a new pan-Arab military force to confront this threat, so overheated rhetoric was standard issue, but still …. The air forces of Saudi Arabia and its Gulf neighbours are blasting Yemen from the air, and there is talk of Saudi Arabian, Egyptian and even Pakistani troops invading on the ground, but it all smells more of panic than of strategic calculation. The panic is due to the fact that the status quo that has prevailed in the Middle East since approximately 1980 is at an end. Iran is back, and there is great dismay in the palaces of Riyadh– especially because it was Saudi Arabia’s great friend and ally, the United States, who finally set Iran free. It was the agreement in Lausanne last Thursday between Iran and the group of 5+1 (the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany) that marked the end of the status quo. It was about ending the various trade embargoes against Iran in return for ten to fifteen years of strict controls on Iran’s nuclear power program, but it will also let Iran out of the jail it has been confined to since the 1979 revolution. Initially that revolution was quite scary for Iran’s Arab neighbours, because Iran’s example in overthrowing the local pro-Western ruler and taking a stronger stand against Israel was very popular in the Arab street. The solution was to paint Iran as a crazy terrorist state and isolate it as much as possible from the rest of the region. The other tactic the conservative Arab states deployed was to stress the religious gulf between Iran (which is 90 per cent Shia) and the Arab countries (whose people are at least 85 per cent Sunni). The doctrinal differences are real, but they do not normally make ordinary people see one another as natural enemies unless somebody (like

state propaganda) works hard at it. Those measures worked for 20 years, assisted by some really stupid Iranian actions like holding U.S. embassy personnel hostage for 444 days, but by the end of the 20th century they were losing credibility. What saved the “quarantine” policy in 2002 was the discovery that Tehran had been working on nuclear weapons design. The work was a revival of research that had been started during the U.S.-backed Iraqi invasion of Iran in 1980-1988 (when Saddam Hussein certainly was working on nuclear weapons), and was shut down afterward. It was restarted in 1998, almost certainly in response to the nuclear weapons tests by Pakistan, Iran’s eastern neighbour. It was Iran being stupid again, but it was probably never about Israel. The alleged Iranian nuclear threat provided the basis for another decade and more of political quarantine and trade embargoes that have crippled Iran economically and isolated it politically. All that came to a sudden end last week with the agreement in principle in Lausanne (unless the Saudi Arabian and Israeli lobbies in Washington manage to torpedo the deal in the next few months). Iran has about the same population and GDP as Egypt, the biggest Arab country by far, but it is far closer both to the Arab Gulf states and to the Sunni-Shia battlegrounds in Iraq and Syria (both of whose governments are closely linked to Tehran). That’s what Sisi was really talking about when he spoke of an existential threat to Arab existence and identity. However, he’s still talking through his hat. Arab existence and identity are nowhere at risk, and Iran has no need to paint the Sunni Arab countries as enemies. The Iranian regime may be losing its support among the young (or maybe not), but it has absolutely no need to inoculate them against the attraction of Arab political systems and foreign policies by promoting an Arab-Iranian confrontation. They hold no attraction whatever for young Iranians. As for the notion that the Houthi militia that now controls most of Yemen is really an Iranian tool (which is the main justification for the military intervention there), it is nonsense. The Houthis, like the Iranians, are Shias, but they have their own local interests to protect, and Iran has no plausible reason to want some sort of strategic foothold in Yemen. It is a safe bet that there is not now even a single armed Iranian in Yemen. If the United States could send troops into Iraq in 2003 in the delusionary belief that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, then Saudi Arabia can believe that it is fighting Iranians in Yemen now. No country has a monopoly on stupidity, and Riyadh will probably have ample opportunity to regret its mistake.

You’ll need a program By Terry Bush Editorial - On Friday night, we put our last stick of wood on the fire, not because the weather was balmy enough to stop heating our home but because we’d run out of wood once again. So on Saturday and Sunday we took to the woods around the house to cut the skinny, little dead elm and ash trees we had in the bank for just such an occasion. While finishing up on Sunday and heading toward that one last tree I was going to cut before I ran out of gas, I tripped on something and down I went, chainsaw in hand. I didn’t even have to look to see what tripped me up. I knew right away it was Vladimir Putin. That friggin’ guy is responsible for everything bad that happens in the world today. Stephen Harper and John Baird have both compared Putin to Hitler. Hillary Clinton has compared Putin to Hitler. Some of our letter writers have compared Putin to Hitler. All these Hitler references make me wonder, if Adolph Hitler never existed, whose name would they be invoking? It does seem a little inappropriate that Hitler’s name would constantly be brought up when referring to the boss of Russia. Can there be another country on earth that has suffered more under the Nazis than Soviets did in World War II with close to 30 million dead? Stalin would make more sense as an unsavoury character reference but Putin isn’t Stalin either. Far from a saint, Vlad hasn’t killed anywhere near as many people as either of those two disgusting individuals. Actually in the past dozen years or so, I can’t think of anyone who even comes close. But after reading a couple of recent articles, which centred on the destruction the US’s so-called War on Terror has wrought, it might be time that George W. Bush was given his due. In an article by Dr. Gideon Polya, the author figures 2.7 million Iraqis have died from violence or warimposed deprivation since Dubya’s invasion to destroy the non-existent weapons of mass destruction. The Vancouver Sun reports that Simon Fraser University’s Tim Takaro has just co-authored a report tallying human casualties in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan since 2001. His number is approximately 1.3 million deaths as the direct and indirect result of war. That’s a lot of dead people with nary a sanction applied to those responsible. Doesn’t it seem strange that the country that has instigated so much destruction leads the way in imposing sanctions on others? Russia is being sanctioned for events in Ukraine, which have resulted in 5,000 deaths. According to mainstream media, Russia is completely to blame though they’ve conveniently forgotten the work of the U.S. and Victoria Nuland behind the scenes (and behind the coup that saw a corrupt but democratically elected leader flee the country). What we do know is that Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence and others are led by so-called “ultra-

nationalists,” and most of the early fighting against the Russian-speaking regions of the country was done by “ultra-nationalist” mercenaries loyal to Ukrainian oligarchs. We in the West refuse to refer to them as Neo-Nazis, hence the ultra-nationalist moniker; ultranationalists who just happen to wear Nazi symbols and idolize Stepan Bandera, a Nazi sympathizer whose Ukrainian Waffen SS was said to be responsible for the deaths of 500,000 people in Ukraine and in Poland. At the same time, many in Ukraine regard him as a hero for fighting the Russians and ignore his anti-Semitism and quest for a pure Ukrainian race. In the Middle East, it gets really confusing. We despise the dictator Bashar al-Assad of Syria who’s supported by Russia, but we are helping him to keep ISIL at bay while the U.S. readies rebels to overthrow him. Stephen Harper is raring to go in Syria despite the fact that bombing Syria without Assad’s invitation would be breaking international law. That of course would pretty well paint Harper and Baird as hypocrites for all of the bombast that they’ve thrown Putin’s way for the mess on Russia’s border. How many miles away is Syria from Canada? Our friends the Saudis are bombing Yemen, once again resulting in hundreds of civilian casualties. Some believe that one’s a proxy war between the Saudis and Iran but there’s no upside for Iran to be in Yemen and they have their hands full fighting ISIL in Iraq. The Saudis want to keep Shiite Iran down as a regional power because the Saudis have a Shiite minority in their own country, who just happen to live where the oil fields are. Bahrain is on board for exactly the same reason except it has a Shiite majority that it keeps under its thumb. Lots of influence and control at stake here. The U.S. is backing up those bastions of democracy; countries governed by Sharia law where people are regularly beheaded and women are basically treated as children or slaves. But in the greater scheme of things, oil, weapons purchases, military bases and subservience to Washington seem to be all that matters. And that’s why Russia, Iran, Venezuela and Syria are feeling the pain. They’re just not kow-towing to the U.S. the way they should. Our other friends, the Israelis, are treating wounded members of ISIL and Al Qaeda in their hospitals and have forged an alliance with the Saudis against the Shiites. So in a nutshell, Canada is backing “nationalists” in Ukraine, Harper’s BFF Israel is helping send back to the battlefield the same folks we’re fighting in Iraq and now Syria, we’re allied with the Iranians and Syrians in the fight against ISIL and we’re friends with the Sunni Arab dictators who financed ISIL in the first place but refuse to fight the monster they created. Sometimes it might be best to just stay home and mind your own business. At least you wouldn’t need a program to keep things straight.

Raising a flag for Autism Awareness Hopping like bunnies for MD support

World Autism Awareness Day was marked with a small flag ceremony in front of the Norwood Town Hall. Joining AsphodelNorwood Mayor Terry Low (far right) were (l-r) Ralph Bray, also a member of the Norwood Lions Club, his daughter Allison Rutherford, Kara Rutherford, Kyle Rutherford, Louise Bray and Lions Club member Peter Oord.

News - Norwood - It was a small ceremony with a big message. World Autism Awareness Day received a colourful boost in Norwood Thursday morning as Mayor Terry Low and members of the Norwood Lions Club joined Kyle Rutherford and his family at a special flag raising to celebrate the launch of the annual global awareness campaign and the Light It Up Blue initiative. The United Nations declared April 2 World Autism Awareness Day in 2007 and that is now followed by a global Light It Up Blue campaign which has thousands of iconic landmarks, homes and businesses unite together in shining blue lights to honour individuals and families affected by Autism Disorder. The CN Tower and Niagara Falls were among the landmarks illuminated in blue. It is estimated that one in 68 children have Autism Disorder, a ten-fold increase over the past decade, according to Autism Speaks Canada, making it the fastest growing developmental disorder in North America, Asia and Europe. “It’s great to have the support

of the mayor and council and the Lions,� said Louise Bray whose 11-year-old grandson Kyle has autism. “It is overwhelming at first when your child is first diagnosed,� Bray said. “You just don’t know how your life is going to proceed.� Bray says her daughter Allison and family have been fortunate in the support they have had for Kyle but negotiating the pathway that leads to some of the funded support services is not always easy and can be quite daunting for some people. “The support levels for some people are not there,� she admits. “To get the support you really need to know how to approach the people who can offer it; it’s often hard for people.� Bray worked with special needs children in the school system so she is familiar with those challenges and that has helped with Kyle. “At one time there was one-onone support but now that’s been cut back. That affects things within the class and sometimes at home too.� Kyle requires that one-on-one support and Bray says his school in Keene has been very good. Having a child with autism “sig-

nificantly increases the things that go on within the home because his needs are quite high sometimes,� she says. Gatherings with large numbers of people are stressful for Kyle, she says. “Kyle is a very loving and kind and almost shy child [and] we are very fortunate to have got the support from people in Norwood now that they know that Kyle has au- Toddlers at the Stepping Stone Preschool in Havelock hop like bunnies during the annual Hop for Muscular Dystrophy fundraising and public awareness activity.

Those things, along with professional supports, help immensely, Bray says. Kyle’s eight-year-old sister Kara is his biggest champion. “Autism doesn’t mean that you’re different, it just means that you have a disability,� Kara said. “it is hard for my brother to do a lot of things but we help him. It’s good to see my brother learn new things.�

The annual event helps families affected by a neuromuscular disorder obtain essential mobility and medical equipment, support services and educational resources as well as contributing to research efforts. Over 50,000 children and adults in Canada are affected by over 150 neuromuscular disorders. Photo: Bill Freeman

Children’s consignment sale a new way to raise money

By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - Fundraising has become a work in progress for the community, parents, students and organizations that are supporting Kent Public School’s plans for new playground equipment. A recent (Silent) Spaghetti Dinner and Silent Auction has become one more innovative way that money has been raised for the equipment, guestimated to cost about $350,000. The ambitious project may take ten years but the hard work by volunteers is slowly making it happen. Sandra Stapley, for example, is one of many volunteers on the Kent Public School Parent Council who has volunteered

her time and expertise. The dinner and silent auction was open to the public and billed as a “fun event� that was not really “silent� as supporters “laughed out loud� as they were treated to “rolling hilarious clips from silent movies� while they dined. The spaghetti was organized by the parent council “with plenty of teachers helping.� Sandy sent some photos from the event to this newspaper to give readers an opportunity to see just what the fundraiser was all about. The dinner and auction raised just over $2,800 “with the help from many volunteers and our amazing Kent staff who volunteered their time as well,�

said Sandy. In a comment to the Independent she noted, “Thanks to all the local big and small businesses [over 80] for their wonderfully generous donations. Their support was overwhelming.â€? “And a big thank-you goes out to all who came out to support Kent School’s playground project!â€? she added with excitement. Some of those in attendance included school principal Alexandra Elassal and Kent’s Grade 5/6 teacher Marlene Cole while at another table Kent’s Grade 8 teacher Mark Carlen and his children Simon, Olivia and Isaiah, who all attend Kent school, enjoyed the dinner and auction and movies too. But the fundraising is not over. “For our next fundraiser, Kent is hosting the very first Kent School Children’s Consignment Sale on Saturday, April 25,â€? said Sandy. This sale is being organized by Angela Wellman who recently moved back to this area with her family and has a daughter in Grade 4 at Kent. Michael Britton, and James Borris, both age eight, Grade 3 students at Kent Public School, know the value of fundraising for She has joined the parent council. new playground equipment. “A lot of the stuff is rusty and that red slide is broken,â€? said James. It’s getting very old,â€? said “I like to be involved in the school and Michael. The project is the subject of much fundraising including a Children’s Consignment Sale happening Saturday, April 25. was on the parent council at my children’s Photo: Sue Dickens last school for six years. In that time we raised over $30,000 for new playground equipment so I know how much time/volunteers it takes to meet goals,â€? she said. “Children’s Consignment sales are huge in Kingston [where we moved from] so I thought Trent Hills should try one. It’s a great resource to save money on great quality used items and for sellers to purge and make extra money too,â€? she added with enthusiasm.

Daffodil Days must mean spring … surely

Check us out!! www.insidebelleville.com

By Bill Freeman

News - Hastings - The Canadian Cancer Society’s bright yellow daffodil pin is a symbol of hope and caring and local supporters can now pick them up in area businesses or during a special blitz this week in Hastings, Havelock and Norwood. There will also be a door-to-door canvas in Hastings and district, including Asphodel Heights, by Cancer Society volunteers to complement pin sales. Last year’s campaign was a successful one with month-long pin donations in all three communities garnering $1,590 with nearly $5,000 collected from doorto-door pledges. For people who’d like to buy actual daffodils Todd’s valu-mart in Hastings will be selling President’s Choice bunches with a contribution going to the Cancer Society. “Last year they just sold them but this year we’re going to promote them,” said Phyllis Donnelly of Hastings who has been the energizing spirit behind the local Cancer Society campaign for over three decades. “We had a great response to the pins but I think people will like the daffodils,” Donnelly said. The Cancer Society switched from selling bunches of fresh flowers to the attractive lapel pins in 2011 largely because of the expense involved in transporting flowers from British Columbia where they were grown. Donnelly says local residents have embraced the pins as a very visible and stylish way of showing their support for the campaign. They can be worn every day on a jacket or sweater, she noted. While there will be a very public blitz April 9 to 11 in Hastings, Havelock and Norwood, the pins will be available throughout the month in local businesses, Donnelly stressed. Pins will be available in Foodland grocery stores in Norwood and Have-

lock all three days; the fresh daffodils will also be for sale those three days at Todd’s valu-mart along with pins. Volunteers will also have pins at the RBC branch in Hastings. “It’s an exciting time for the campaign,” Donnelly added but she says there’s always a need for additional volunteers for the door-todoor canvas.

“You meet a lot of nice people and I do enjoy this,” she said. Donnelly deflects any praise for her own efforts over the years. “It’s the volunteer team; they’re the ones that do the work.” If you are interested in helping out with door-to-door canvassing call 705-6962451.

Writer “exhilarated” by heritage award

News - Peterborough - Receiving the prestigious F.H. Dobbin Award during the Peterborough Historical Society’s annual general meeting was an “exhilarating moment,” says Rob Gordon, whose book Dressed in Khaki, 19141918 was honoured during the dinner gala. “It was a great surprise to receive the award,” said the Legion Branch 300 Life Member and founder of the organization’s acclaimed military museum which now bears his name. The museum itself received the Historical Society’s Samuel Armour Award in 2013. Dressed in Khaki, conceived as a project to mark the centenary of the beginning of World War I, uses wartime letters sent to Norwood Methodist Minister Mansell Irwin by area soldiers as its foundation and inspiration. The letters found their way to the Norwood Public Library and eventually the Asphodel-Norwood Historical Society where president Judy Chaplin collated them into large binders and

did additional research on the writers. “In a way I feel that half the award belongs to Judy,” Gordon said during an interview in the museum. He is grateful to Chaplin for the dogged work she did in preserving the 28 letters. Gordon used to write the Branch 300 newsletter The Ricochet specializing in profiles of local war veterans. “That’s how I got writing here at the Legion.” In his mind he began to form a picture of how he might marry the letters to a non-fiction work about the indelible impact the war had on tiny rural communities like Norwood and Asphodel. “It was a story worth telling and one that hadn’t been done,” he said, noting that both local histories about Norwood and Asphodel are “very scanty” in their telling of military-related stories. “And here we had this treasure trove [the letters] right here in Norwood. That’s really the journey I took.” Gordon started with a visit to cenotaphs in Norwood and Westwood “and in my mind started to formulate” the

book. “I just started to write and used their words and thoughts as much as I could. Everything flowed.” Reading the letters was “fascinating,” he adds. A modest man, Gordon nevertheless felt he had created something of value and entered the book in the Peterborough Historical Society awards competition for local history. He used a review from the Trent Hills Independent to support the application. He didn’t think about the submission until he received a phone call from Dennis Carter-Edwards of the PHS. “I had not expected the call.” Gordon is pleased the PHS has an awards ceremony that celebrates local history in the county and city. The award, he adds, shows the importance of having local archives for research and preserving documents. He’s particularly happy that the Asphodel-Norwood Society finally has a permanent location rather than storage at the public works building where onsite research was difficult. “I can’t speak any more highly of

tice, share an auto refractor as part of individual vision screening programs and area co-ordinator Doug White says the new generation Welsh Allyn refractor will be much more efficient performing the examination function in seconds rather than the four or five minutes required by the current Welsh Allyn device. “It won’t do any more it will just do it better and faster,” said White during a special end-of-March brunch to help raise funds for the instrument. The $25,000 price tag is a lot for one club to bear, White said, so the fundraising efforts are being shared. The goal, he adds, is to acquire five or six devices to be used throughout District A-3. White, who co-ordinates vision screening for Lions Clubs from Marmora to Campbellford, says the new Welsh Allyn instrument will be able to examine both eyes in two to three seconds; with the current device they have to do one eye at a time and that can prove difficult sometimes with restless Junior and Senior Kindergarten students. The program is at the heart of the Lions International mission to be “Knights of the Blind,” a calling the organization took up earnestly at the encouragement of Helen Keller. It has evolved from Sight First One and Sight First

Two programs to combat river blindness caused by a waterborne parasite which afflicted youth in some South American and African countries. “The vision screening program is very busy all through the year because different clubs set time for themselves to perform the free service,” says White. He says it “feels pretty good” to know that they have helped youngsters identify possible vision challenges; the Lions also provide some inschool hearing tests as well. The program identifies children who have trouble seeing things at a distance, up close or who have difficulty making both eyes work together. The Lions volunteers make no attempt to test the health of the eyes and stress that it is a screening and not an examination and that it does not replace a complete eye assessment. Annual eye examinations by a health professional are recommended for all schoolaged children and those tests are covered by OHIP. “Amazing stories have come out of this,” says White. The grandchild of one Norwood Lions member was identified as having some vision challenges and now wears glasses. “She is happy and doing well in school,” he said. “It is very worthwhile and makes you feel good.”

Tea and art a sweet mix By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - It was a sweet mix of tea and colourful art. The children at the Stepping Stone Preschool in Havelock held their seventh annual family team and art show last week with 25 youngsters displaying their elegant masterpieces during

the keenly appreciated preEaster exhibition. “They are quite proud of their work,” said Stepping Stone supervisor Cathy Hamilton. The event was an open house with family members dropping in to view the art and enjoy some tea and refreshments sitting at the Alice in Wonderlandsized tables and chairs. There are 28 families registered with Stepping Stone, says Hamilton, and they are licensed for 28 children. The preschool currently has ten toddlers and 15 preschoolers attending so the facility has space for both toddler and pre-schoolaged children.

New this year, says Hamilton, is Stepping Stone’s after school program which has one space left. For this program one day-care staff member walks students from Havelock Belmont Public School to Stepping Stone every day at 3:15 p.m. The entertaining event started out

as simply a tea party with the art show added in later years, says Hamilton. It is always one of the highlights of the year. Stepping Stone provides care for children ages 18 months to after-school. For more information on Stepping Stone and its programs call 705-7785232.

Westben awarded $2,000 by the Ontario Arts Council By Sue Dickens

to the cultural uniqueness that makes up NorthumberlandQuinte West. “The arts reflect the best of ourselves and these groups reflect some of the best reasons to either live in or to visit our area,” he added. In his press release Rinaldi noted that the arts play a vital role in Ontario’s communities, “enhancing our quality of life and delivering significant economic benefits.”

Salvation Army Easter Donation

Ontario’s cultural products directly contribute $22 billion annually to the province’s GDP and 280,569 jobs, representing 4.2 per cent of total Ontario employment. For more than 50 years, the Ontario Arts Council has promoted and assisted the development of the arts. In 2013-2014, OAC funded 1,737 individual artists and 1,095 organizations in 223 Ontario communities, for a total of $52.1 million. A 2010 study by Environics Research reveals that a resounding 95 per cent of Ontarians believe the arts enrich the quality of our lives. A further 89 per cent believe that if their community lost its arts activities, people living there would lose something of value. In 2010, arts and culture tourist spending contributed $3.7 billion to Ontario’s GDP, as well approximately 67,700 jobs, $2.4 billion in wages, and $1.7 billion in taxes (including $3.1 million for Ontario municipalities), according to a report prepared by Research Resolutions & Consulting Ltd.

News - Norwood - It was a sold-out night of nostalgic fun for the Norwood IODE and friends who enjoyed another Girls Night fundraiser at the Millennium Room. With music from the Cruisin 50’s and 60’s band out of Cobourg providing the musical inspiration and well-received dinner provided by the IODE’s ace team of volunteers, the tenth anniversary celebration was another unqualified success. There were plenty of prizes to be won during the evening with 45 raffle draws and the pièce de résistance being a one-of-kind garden sculpture named “Lily” that was crafted by Carl Millett. Former Norwood District High School teacher and current vice principal of Campbellford District High School, Christine Orton, won the sculpture draw. Special kudos go out to the Vanderhorst girls, Anika, Alexa and Ashley who have helped out at several Girls Night events and other IODE functions. “They are a great help and we really appreciate them,” said IODE member Rose Millett.

Sadie celebrates her 14th birthday today, April 9: from left, Kathy Morningstar of The Salvation Army, Campbellford; Sadie Mees; Brenda Tucker, of Gunn-Johnston Cards and Gifts, who partnered in the project on Sadie’s first birthday because she was also doing an Easter food drive and making baskets.

News - Campbellford - The Ontario Arts Council has handed out grants and again the Westben Arts Festival Theatre is among the recipients. “This is one of the few grants we get that actually helps us bring world-class artists to the area,” said Brian Finley, Westben co-founder, artistic and managing director. “We’ve been getting the grant every year and it helps fund the professional artists,” he explained. Westben was awarded $20,000 through the Presenter/Producer program toward the operation of this organization. An accessible summer festival presented in a specially designed barn, it features classical chamber music with other genres, including world music, opera and musical theatre. Founded in 1981, it is now integral to the year-round community cultural activity with various choral and educational programs. In 1999, The Westben Arts Festival Theatre was formed as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to creating, enriching and integrating professionals and amateurs in musical projects and educational activities. Run by a board of directors, Westben received its charitable status in 2000. The grant was one of three for this area made available through the presenter/producer program. Shelter Valley Folk Festival was awarded $15,000. The event produces an annual Labour Day festival in Northumberland County featuring folk music from the region and across Canada. Founded in 2003, the festival complements its music programming with workshops on wellness, the environment and harvest food. As well the All-Canadian Jazz Festival Port Hope was awarded $11,400. This annual three-day jazz festival in downtown Port Hope is the only jazz festival in Canada to feature exclusively Canadian artists. Making the announcement about the grants, Lou Rinaldi, MPP Northumberland-Quinte West said, “I am excited that these three leading arts organizations have been recognized by the Ontario Arts Council for their contributions

Last round this school year for health unit vaccinations

News - Peterborough County - Local Grade 7 and 8 students will be offered free vaccines in schools by the Peterborough County-City Health Unit for the last time this school year. Public health nurses will be visiting schools throughout the county and city of Peterborough in the coming weeks to immunize all Grade 7 students against hepatitis B and meningococcal disease and Grade 8 girls against HPV. All vaccines offered in school clinics are free of charge, safe and provide protection against these serious diseases. “We want to make it easy for parents to protect their kids by offering these vaccination clinics in the schools,â€? says Anne Elliott, a Registered Nurse at the Health Unit. “Parents often have questions about vaccines so we encourage them to give us a call to discuss and to seek out credible online sources as well based on good science.â€? All Grade 7 students will be eligible to receive vaccines to protect them against hepatitis B, a disease that can cause permanent liver damage and cancer, and meningococcal disease, a serious infection of the blood and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Grade 8 girls are entitled to receive the vaccine for protection against HPV, a virus that can lead to genital warts and cervical cancer. While all the vaccines are recommended by the Ontario Immunization Schedule, the meningococcal vaccine is now required for students under the Immunization of School Pupils Act. This vaccine provides coverage against more strains of meningococcal disease than the meningococcal vaccine most children received when they were younger. For more information call the Peterborough County-City Health Unit at 705-743-1000.

Rising skating star is living her dream By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - Michelle Long is living her dream and the beaming smile is a sign that things are going well for the Richmond Training Centre athlete who finished seventh in the seniors ladies’ competition at the Canadian figure skating

championships. But the smile tells just part of the story because very few nationally ranked senior skaters reach the top ten mark with competitive careers launched at 15 years of age, something the 22-year-old Newmarket native has done.

Michelle Long of the Richmond Hill Training Centre was the guest skater at the Norwood District Skating Club’s “Blades ’n’ Spurs carnival recently. Photo: Bill Freeman

The last year has been breathtakingly successful and includes a fourth-place finish at the Skate Canada Challenge and a senior ladies championship at the Central Ontario Sectionals. Long’s pathway to national attention has been “really different,” the genial York University student admitted during a visit to Norwood where she was guest skater at the “Blades ’n’ Spurs” carnival. She started skating as a two-year-old and went through all the skating tests with her local club in Newmarket. After completing those tests Long wanted to “take the next step” and began to train for the competitive pre-novice ladies stream. It was something she’s always thought about but it entailed a move to the renowned Richmond Training Centre “just to find the inspiration from other skaters.” The “big switch” to Richmond Hill allowed her to become a “real competitive skater in a real competitive training environment that kind of blossomed into a full-out passion for the sport.” “It had always been in the back of my mind. I had hoped one day to go to the nationals as a junior skater; that’s what I kind of thought I’d end up being in the local club.” But as the “passion grew, dreams became more of a reality and I progressed through the sport.” That’s an understatement for the dream-catching skater who remains grounded as a CanSkate coach working with skaters as young as two and is thrilled to skate showcase routines at local clubs like those in Norwood. “It comes from my heart because this is where it started and it kind of brings it back full circle. I love performing; it’s something that naturally comes to me when I am skating. I enjoy being out on the ice, being free and being able to interpret the music, something I’ve loved

doing since I was a little kid.” Her first solo in Norwood to I Dream a Dream from the musical Les Miserables was self-choreographed. Skating in Richmond Hill with national champions like Gabrielle Daleman and others from around the world has sharpened Long’s

competitive instincts and elevated her skating game. “It pushes me a little harder to skate better.” Long has just finished her new short program choreography with Laurie Nicholls and is “training that really hard” with the competition season looming in May.

Coaching is something Long sees herself doing well into the future. “I absolutely love working with the kids. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and something I think I’m always going to do. I don’t ever see it leaving my life.”

nance the work. Looming over the budget are upgrades to Campbellford’s potable water supply and distribution system, now estimated at $5.3 million, which will require $3.5 million in Build Canada funding if it is to proceed. The balance will be funded by taking on debt. The work includes upgrading the water system’s primary system of disinfection and the town’s standpipe. Should the project be approved and get under way, it will probably take three years before it is completed, director of finance/ treasurer Shelley Stedall said in a recent presentation to council. She pointed out there has been a “significant reduction” in the amount of water Warkworth Institution purchases from the municipality, which caused revenues from that source to fall from $248,054 in 2013 to $154,853 in 2014. Scott White, the municipality’s general manager of infrastructure renewal and public works administration, explained that the prison,

which has its own underground water storage for fire protection, had found a valve leaking, which it fixed. White said the cost of putting in a second water main in Hastings was estimated at $750,000 two years ago. Completion of a design will mean the project will be “shovel ready” should government funding ever become available. A $50 hike in the hydrant charge to $250 will generate an additional $29,100, raising the total to $84,500. The cost is shouldered by all taxpayers, rather than users of the three systems alone, because “the entire tax base benefits” from the municipality’s hydrants, which provide water to fight fires in rural areas as well as urban centres, Mayor Hector Macmillan said. The new water and sewer rates will be presented in a public meeting at the Hastings Civic Centre April 20, beginning at 6 p.m. Final approval will not take place until May 5, allowing time for the public to provide additional input.

Increase in water, sewer rates same as last year’s

News - Trent Hills - The municipality is proposing to raise its water and sewer rates by two per cent, the same increase as last year. For average users (15 cubic metres a month), the new rate will add $2.10 a month to their bill ($105.07 in 2014). Water consumption has fallen in all three centres since 2008, from 735,850 cubic metres to 523,642 in Campbellford, 99,479 to 83,544 in Hastings, and 60,994 to 51,028 in Warkworth. As a result, revenues have fallen as well, so the municipality has had to increase rates, in part, to cover operating costs, as well as support capital projects. Capital costs include expenditures of $147,500 in equipment upgrades at Campbellford’s wastewater facility and $87,650 at the Hastings plant. The municipality has allocated $50,000 to an engineering study being done on installing a second water main across the Trent River in Hastings. Reserves are being used to fi-

Star athlete talks about winning national ice, inline hockey championships By John Campbell

Sports - Campbellford - Choosing hockey–boys hockey–over figure skating proved to be a shrewd move for Jackie Jarrell. She parlayed the experience and the skills she developed into a university education and fame as a member of a national hockey championship team, in both Canada and the United States. “I’m very fortunate … to have done what I’ve done with my hockey,” Jarrell told members of the Campbellford Minor Hockey Association and guests at an awards ceremony April 2. She honed her hockey skills playing for boys teams in Belleville before switching to playing women’s hockey in Toronto in order to reach her “full

potential” and “play at the highest level.” That was the National Women’s Hockey League, now the Canadian Women’s Hockey League, where she started out as a 16-year-old on a team whose members’ average age was 25. Jarrell won gold at the Canada Winter Games playing for Ontario which opened the door to her earning a scholarship to attend Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania. She was the assistant captain on the school’s women’s hockey team that was ranked number one in the country in 2006-2007 for the first time in the school’s history. Mercyhurst, a Division 1 NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) team, won four regular

season and four playoff championships during her time there. She also earned a degree in sports medicine, despite suffering “a really nasty concussion” in her sophomore year that sidelined her from playing hockey for 18 months. “Probably the hardest days I’ve ever had,” said Jarrell, who had been “so close to cracking” the lineup for Team Canada’s under-22 team. “It was a long shot for me to ever skate again,” she said. But she persevered, returned to the team and was a member when it rose to become number one in the nation, only to get upset in the NCAA’s Frozen Four. During her time away from ice hockey, she began playing inline hockey in Mississauga, which culminated in her making Canada’s national women’s team. She’s played in eight world championships and returned home with a medal every time, including gold, when Canada won it all at Bucaramanga, Colombia, in 2012 and she was the tournament’s leading scorer. F o u r- o n - f o u r inline hockey is “very fast-paced” with lots of scoring,

Jarrell said. Her goal is to play in the 2017 World Games. “It’s been a lot of fun” as well as an “interesting challenge,” said Jarrell who teaches at St. Theresa Catholic Secondary School in Belleville and coaches its boys’ hockey team. She also operates her own business, Gold Performance Training, where she is a strength and conditioning coach, a role “very similar” to that of a personal trainer. She created the business last year to help other athletes achieve their goals through fitness, nutrition and mentoring programs and she plans to move into her own building that’s currently being constructed on the family farm. Her clientele includes Hockey Canada, NCAA and Canadian university athletes, junior hockey players, cancer patients and various sports associations in Belleville. As head trainer for the Quinte Red Devils, she implemented a concussion program for its teams and a three-day fitness camp at the beginning of the season. She’s currently assisting team trainers with following proper injury protocol . As a strength coach, Jarrell has worked at a NHL fitness combine and referees camp, the OHL fitness combine, Hockey Canada’s U18 development female camp and CHL top prospects combine. She also tested the Toronto Maple Leafs before this season started.

Jackie Jarrell, who’s excelled at women’s hockey, ice and inline, spoke about evolution as a player from playing for boys’ teams to being a university star and eight-time medal winner at the world championships for women’s inline hockey. Photo: John Campbell

Even though she’s never made millions as an NHL hockey player she’s “been able to do so many great things” with her hockey, such as having her entire education paid for, and the opportunity to travel around the world. She’s been “very, very fortunate,” Jarrell said. “I’m able to do what I love every single day, working with all the athletes,” to help them achieve their goals. Although there have been “lots of ups and downs” along the way, “I’ve loved every minute of it.”

Minor hockey’s beloved ambassador named life member

By John Campbell

Sports - Campbellford - When the doors at the Campbellford-Seymour Community Centre open next fall for another season of minor hockey, a familiar face won’t be there in the ticket booth to greet all those who enter. Campbellford Minor Hockey Association’s most beloved ambassador has retired. To show its thanks for her many years of service, the CMHA named Darlene Nicholas its newest life member at its Campbellford Minor Hockey Association first vice-president Dennis Doherty awards ceremony for non-players held presented Cheryl Andrade with her Manager of the Year Award.

Cathy Newton, a past president, praised Nicholas, whose “beautiful smile and cheerful disposition [was] the first thing” people experienced when they walked into the rink. “She has been greeting players, coaches, parents and referees for over 35 years,” she said. “If you consider the number of hours she spends at the rink, which could be up to 20 hours a week, it’s probably safe to say that she devotes more time to CMHA than most executive members.” Nicholas gave notice earlier this year that she wouldn’t be continuing “and, believe me, we’ve been struggling with the idea of replacing her,” Newton said. “Not only does she look after admission for the games, she keeps track of the 50-50 sales and pays referees. Her record-keeping skills are fantastic and we always have a good handle on how much is coming in and how much is going out for games.” Nicholas was also responsible for creating schedules and signs for tournaments, which she has agreed to keep doing. “Darlene has had many roles in CMHA over the years,” including hockey mom for her son Drew, Newton said.

She worked “for most, if not all, the OMHA championship games during that time and I don’t think she got to watch any … We need to have a lot more championships in the future so she can enjoy and participate as a fan.” Nicholas, who received a

standing ovation, told those present she had seen half of them come to the arena when they were kids, and stayed long enough to see some of them bring their grandchildren. “Unbelievable,” she said. Continued on page 27

She joins her husband, Ted, a past president of the association, in becoming the association’s 31st life member. The unanimous choice for Coach of the Year was Rod Torrance, who thanked his fellow volunteers for their help with the atom team that advanced to the DD division final at the Peterborough Liftlock Atom Hockey Tournament in January, losing to Stayner, as well as went on a 14-game winning streak. “So we had a pretty good go,� he said. Winning the award was “pretty special.� The Team Management Award went to the Bantam A squad’s contingent of coach Ben McKeown, assistant coach Seamus McDougall, manager Deryk Robertson, trainer Eric Hudson and assistant trainer Sawyer Michel. McKeown gave “a big thanks� to the parents for their support. The local league atom team’s Cheryl Andrade was chosen Manager of the Year for her organizational skills, being

Doherty read out the names of the 26 businesses and organizations whose sponsorship support included jerseys, tournaments, clinics and fundraisers. Doherty said between 165 and 175 young people signed up to play hockey last season. There were 13 teams, two at every level, except for novice (one) and juvenile (which had none). “Our numbers stayed pretty strong,� he said. “Unfortunately, we didn’t have the run we usually do in the playoffs where somebody [goes] all the way to the finals or close to it but every team, every kid this year, from what I could see and hear from everybody else, had a good year and enjoyed their season. That’s what we’re all here to do is to help the kids have a great year and to keep this going for years to come.�

Hastings County a hot spot for geologists

By Diane Sherman

News - Ivanhoe - Twenty-five per cent of mineral occurrences in eastern Ontario are in Hastings County, so says resident geologist Pam Sangster. It also has the highest rate of claims staked for mining exploration. Sangster, a geoscientist, is based at the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM) office in Tweed. She has spent 17 years investigating local land structure in the county. Her presentation at Huntingdon Veterans Community Hall in Ivanhoe, April 2, was followed by Dr. Daniel Tubb, with a documentary report of his anthropological studies in Colombia, where he worked with local Afro-Colombian gold miners. Techniques used by Colombians proved to be similar to those used by early miners in Hastings County but without the environmental controls found in this country. Tubb said after years of exploiting the ground by hand, many resident land holders gave in to heavy equipment, excavators, in illegal operations to extract gold from rocks some 20 metres below the surface. Use of mercury to separate it from the rock left devastating effects. When the price of gold plummeted recently, hundreds of hectares of land were left torn apart and waters contaminated. Hastings County, filled with extensive deposits of minerals, has also been a centre of mining industry, notably the Eldorado gold rush of 1866, though iron ore had been mined in Marmora since the 1820s. Limestone, a dominate under base throughout the territory, is an element, Sangster says, responsible for both the high quality of dairy products and the abundance of poison ivy in the region. The region, she noted, was a world source for lithographic limestone. “If anyone has an original Currier and Ives lithograph, it is likely on the limestone excavated nearby.” Red bricks used in the area are made of clay quarried in the Tweed area, and the gray block buildings seen throughout the county were made Geologist Pam Sangster and anthropologist Dr. Daniel Tubb explained the impact ground minerals have had on local residents in both Ontario and far away lands at the last speaker’s series from limestone taken locally.

A striking example of the art of quilting

Carole Herbertson (l) displays her “Canada Quilt� assisted by Manon Hunt. The quilting group meets on the fourth Friday of the month at the Tweed Library from 10:15 to 1:30. By Brett Mann

News - Tweed - The “Library Quilting Group,� as it is informally known, was begun by former library activities co-ordinator Corinne Reidy a couple of years ago. Corinne and her husband moved out of the area but before leaving she began a project which has involved the efforts of about ten quilters over two years. “The Library Quilt� was unveiled last week and proved to be a striking ar-

tistic accomplishment. Co-ordinator Darlyne Pennycook spoke of the group’s origins and activities. “When Corinne [Reidy, group founder] moved to Hamilton they wanted someone to take over so they asked if I would. We had a grant from New Horizons and we’ve been doing this for two or three years.� “This� is a variety of quilting and

sewing activities simultaneously being worked on in an atmosphere of cooperation and bubbling high spirits and chat. The Tweed Library room is filled with sewing machines, bolts of cloth, printed patterns and all the paraphernalia of quilt making. “We met on Tuesday evenings and we just sewed. We had maybe six or seven members, it varies,� says Ms. Pennycook. “We work on our own

Numerous local elements now in demand Continued from page B1

She notes the talc mine in Madoc operated for 138 years. Closure of the mine in 2010 left a “mystery� rock, found to be foliated tremolite, a form of jade. Similarly, she states, there are numerous elements found locally which are coming into demand, like titanium and vanadium, and those used for sustainable agriculture for soil enhancement. These minerals are still beneath the ground. Certain minerals discovered in Hastings County were named by places: Hastingsite, found in Dungannon in 1896, Madocite, a sulphosalt found in Madoc in 1967, along with Veenite, Launayite and Sterryite all named for where they were found. During the formative years 500 million years ago, the area had volcanic islands, mountains equivalent to the Himalayas, a “quiescent shallow sea,� and sheets of glacial ice four kilometres thick. Much like the inhabitants of Colombia visited by Dr. Tubb, local residents are subject to what is underground; local cultures were built around the mining industry.

Sangster suggests there is still a future for mineral mining in the region based on recent demands for elements used in new technology. These elements, she said, remain from earlier exploits. Graphite, for one, has a new use for which the researcher received a Nobel Prize. Tap rock, gabbro, found in Elzevir Township chips off into tiny squares used to surface roofing tiles.

LIFESTYLES The Good Earth:

Dan Clost Lifestyles - Recently, Connon Nurseries hosted a Landscape Expo, bringing together some of our area’s top landscapers, arborists, gardeners, two cute alpacas, and imagine this, another nursery. Long-time readers of this column will be familiar with the idea that we are losing much of our understanding of this good earth, which sustains us. Those of us in the nursery business, especially where there is a retail component, are becoming distressingly familiar with that diminishing connection. Plants are increasingly viewed as a decorative accessory to dress up a patio or barbecue centre, similar to a painting above a fireplace mantle. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, Gentle Reader, as long as we don’t lose sight that a plant is a living organism that does not exist in isolation. It is dependent upon an intricate environment composed of things we see and things we don’t see, e.g. other plants, insects, birds, soil, worms, bacteria and other micro-organisms, air, (including pollutants), water, (including pollutants) and ourselves. This increasingly tenuous connection has created an interesting purchasing phenomena, many customers now request a native plant but they have no concept of the whole picture. Our challenge, as responsible retailers, is to introduce them to that

idea. It’s all well and good to select a native plant as long as you have created a compatible environment in which to plant it. Otherwise, it’s just a picture over the mantelpiece waiting to be swapped out when the shiny has become dull. Fortunately, there are a few individuals who have embraced the challenge full on and Peter Fuller is one of those folk. He is the owner of Fuller Native and Rare Plants Nursery and was invited to the expo because of his complete dedication to this cause. In fact, a portion of all sales is directed to the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory. I asked Peter for his mandate or mission statement and here is his simple and succinct reply. “… the conservation and enjoyment of native plants and to encourage people to use them in their own landscapes.” It is becoming increasingly difficult to find undisturbed land and truly native plants. Some might say his is a small niche nursery and I might agree that is so but only in a narrow sense. Consider the big picture; I counted 269 distinct plant offerings for 2015 including trees, shrubs, flowers, lilies, and more. For example,

Impaired driver charged News - Marmora - On March 27, 2015, at 11:55 p.m. members of Central Hastings OPP responded to a traffic complaint involving a possible impaired driver travelling west on Matthew Street in the village of Marmora. The vehicle’s driver was reported to have forced another motorist off the road, driven in the wrong lane and then parked at a motel on Highway #7. Upon arrival officers located the female driver still seated in the parked car. As a result of their investigation the female driver Katya Kropp, 46, of North York, was subsequently arrested and charged with impaired driving and refusing to provide a breath sample. Her vehicle was impounded for seven days and she was issued a 90-day administrative driver’s licence suspension. She will appear in Ontario Court of Justice - Belleville on May 7, 2015.

Rare and native plants the nursery also has eight different heritage tomato cultivars available and a variety of landscape boulders. He has put together a very important collection of our horticultural heritage and is not only helping to preserve it but has also taken steps to help us share in his work. He is an expert at showing folks how to create bio-diversity on their own estates. Peter is well-known on the local gardening speaker circuit and is in high demand. Along with this, he offers workshops covering all the facets from making your own hypertufa containers (Saturday, May 23, 9:30 a.m., at the nursery) to creating your

own pollinator garden (Saturday, June 6, 9:30 a.m., at the nursery). Oh, and in this latter workshop you will also make a “bee house” for native bees. Mary Haggerty will be a co-instructor for these two offerings. Fuller’s provides the community with some unique services such as an on-site assessment that is quite different from most: you can expect to receive: “… a list of existing native plant communities and any unusual/ rare species, list of invasive species and resources for dealing with them, recommended native plants to use around the property (plant lists), and;

recommendations for naturalizing projects.” Plant lists can be developed for woodland, shore edge, wetland, and alpine environments. Peter has an extensive book collection with reviews on his website including John Eastman’s Book of Forest and Thicket. What makes this guide valuable is the list of associates accompanying each plant. Associates are all those bits and pieces that share that plant’s environment. Visit their website at <www. fullerplants.com> and, on April 30, you can drive out to 175 Airport Parkway at the Elmwood intersection.

TRAVEL

Exploring Virginia’s Natural Bridge and its Cedar Creek Trail Lifestyles - In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Virginia’s Natural Bridge appeared on several “Natural Wonders of the World” lists, and it’s now a National Historic Landmark and still well worth a visit. After all, it’s the remains of the roof of a cave or tunnel through which the Cedar Creek

entrance is best reached by leaving Highway I-81 at exit 175, between Roanoke and Lexington, and you’ll soon arrive at the beautiful and refurbished Natural Bridge Hotel. From here, you can take a short shuttle or descend the 137 steps to the trail. You’ll need to purchase a ticket to enter and walk along a section

Creation.” I checked out this awesome geological formation for myself on my last visit to Virginia, and when I watched other tourists approaching the Natural Bridge, I realized just how mammoth it actually was. I learned that the gigantic natural arch has a span of about 90 feet and

a height of about 215 feet, so visitors looked rather tiny as they approached this gigantic limestone structure. The path took me along Cedar Creek and past towering limestone cliffs, decorated by graffiti (carved initials) over the years. A “GW” is one set of initials

that has been inscribed into the rocky precipice near Natural Bridge, and legend has it that a young George Washington did some surveying in this area and decided to add his initials. However, there’s no real proof that this event ever really happened, so it’s very likely someone else’s “GW.” There’s still a historic connection, though, for Thomas Jefferson purchased this very land in 1774, just prior to the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence, and he subsequently built a log cabin in this area. The land was eventually sold by his heirs, and a hotel was built here to accommodate the throngs of visitors attracted to this natural wonder. This site has special meaning for the natives of this area, for the Monacans called the Natural Bridge the “Bridge of God,” deeming it sacred, and they first discovered it while evading an enemy several centuries ago. Therefore, the Monacans have now built a model village near this site, a living history exhibit, and it’s open to the public. It provides visitors with an opportunity to visualize what life was like in such a village back in the 17th century, and it includes a longhouse, trading post, and single family home (built with cattails). I walked directly under the natural arch and continued on the footpath along the creek and I soon arrived at this exhibit. Here I was able to learn about some of their traditional activities, including cooking, pottery, basket weaving and tool production. You can then continue to stroll along this Cedar Creek Trail for about a mile, and you’ll pass an old saltpeter mine (used for gunpowder production during the Revolutionary War), and the Lost River (an underground channel of water that now spills into the creek) before arriving at the trail’s end at Lace Falls. You’ll then simply retrace your steps to return to Natural Bridge and the exit point. If you decide to stay right there at the Natural Bridge

winter, Corduroy Road and popular Hastings-based group The Zapletal have also been added to this year’s show with more promised. The Alberta-raised, Vancouverbased Mack has been busy since his first single, Duet, hit the airwaves and cracked the top ten. He’s opened for the likes of Dierks Bentley, who rocked the Jamboree last year, Florida Georgia Line and Miranda Lambert and after moving to Vancouver and joining the band Head of Herd found himself opening for an eclectic mix of rockers that included Guns ’n Roses, The Trews and The Sheepdogs. He’s been with the TV series Heartland since 2012 playing musician Austin Mars. Mack also appeared in the show popular show Smallville. The single Duet with Carly McKillop was a juggernaut and helped Mack win the overall grand prize in the global “Unsigned One Music” contest. He was nominated for two CCMA awards

in 2014, the rising star and the CMT video of the year. Autumn Hill–Toronto’s Mike Robins and Calgary’s Torey Green– released their debut album Favourite Mistake in 2013 which earned immediate acclaim as a solid crossover CD with plenty of air time on both country and contemporary playlists; it led to a CCMA rising star nomination. Jason D. Williams is a legendary Arkansas raised performer with a high-energy stage show that blends honky tonk, country and Memphisstyle rock. He went solo in the 1980s after working with LeBeef and built up a solid reputation with performances influenced by the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis, Moon Mullican, Memphis Slim and Al Jolson. Williams did all the hand shots for actor Dennis Quaid in the movie Great Balls of Fire. For ticket and camping information call 1-800-539-3353.

Nourish Havelock hosting free seed-starting workshop By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - The slow march to real spring weather has been glacier-like which is all the more reason to welcome this Saturday’s Nourish Havelock seed and soil workshop at Havelock United Church. The free workshop will run from 1 to 4 p.m. and will feature seasoned gardeners with plenty of information to help people plan ahead for the outdoor planting season. Free seeds and soil will be available at the workshop as well.

The event’s lead facilitator for the seed-starting workshop will be Helen Evergroen who has been growing food for many years and is a familiar vendor at the Campbellford Farmers’ Market. She has also donated local produce for Nourish Havelock’s highly successful Community dinner. Nourish Havelock member Amanda O’Rourke, a regular vendor at the Peterborough Farmers’ Market with produce from her family’s Tall Tree Farm, will also be on hand to answer any questions.

The workshop should certainly appeal to people interested in starting seeds and having plants for their own garden, says O’Rourke. It will also be an opportunity for anyone interested in a plot in the Nourish Havelock community garden to apply for a spot. Last summer Nourish Havelock held free gardening workshops at their community garden site at Your Office in the east of the village that were well-attended and informative.

Amanda O’Rourke, a member of the Havelock Nourish committee, will be one of the facilitators at a free seed starting and soil workshop April 11 at Havelock United Church that will run from 1 to 4 p.m. Photo: Bill Freeman

Festival of Sacred Praise returns to St. Paul’s

By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - Now celebrating its 65th year, the two-week-long Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise is returning to St. Paul’s United Church this month, featuring singers, musicians and orators performing for audiences and professional adjudicators in various classes. Held under the auspices of the official board of St. Paul’s United Church and the Stirling Festival Committee, the annual festival continues to promote a love of sacred praise and encourage the continued participation of boys, girls and young people, say committee organizers. Vocal, instrumental and scripture classes are presented at both St. Paul’s and the Stirling Festival Theatre as part of the regional competition with top finishers eligible to proceed to the provincial level. But longtime festival supporter and committee president Donna Russett has emphasized that the spirit of the event is as much about encouraging learning and personal growth in each of the individual participants as it is about providing opportunities for further competition. Professional adjudicators offer valuable feedback, as well as tips and ideas to improve presentations, so it’s

not only the seasoned performers who benefit. And many participants who begin as youngsters return year after year. Russett, a performer in the first festival and a supporter ever since,

knows that as well as anyone. The festival has also attracted well-qualified and understanding judges who have provided both encouragement and advice for all performers.

While organizers say numbers are down this year, the festival regularly draws participants from Peterborough, Belleville and Napanee as well as smaller communities in the imme-

diate area. And over the years, committee members and organizers have seen thousands of singers and musicians perform and remain impressed by the calibre of talent shown by the many groups and individuals over the decades. This year’s edition of the annual competition opens on Sunday, April 19, with vocal classes running until Tuesday. String classes will be held Thursday, April 23, with bands, woodwinds and brass classes scheduled for Friday, April 24, at both the Stirling Festival Theatre and St. Paul’s. Piano classes follow from Sunday, April 26, until Tuesday, April 28, with scripture classes wrapping up competitions on April 29. Following the festival, the Stars of the Festival concert will be held May 8, at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s. The Stars concert is a regular feature of the festival and, like the various competition classes, is also open to the public. Presented after the final adjudications, the celebratory concert offers a restaging of some of the top performances. Admission to the Stars concert is $3 for adults and 50 cents for children.

children orphaned by AIDS, sometimes as many as 10 to 15 in one household.â€? “The middle generation, the parents, they pass away [from AIDS] and leave the grandmothers with maybe two or three maybe eight grandchildren or more. They are grieving for their daughter or son, the kids are grieving and they’ve got no money,â€? Ellis explained. “The Stephen Lewis Foundation has a very good check system and we know the money we are sending over goes to the people it should,â€? she added. The foundation also notes on its website that Canadians have raised about $19.5 million for African grandmothers. Resources from the campaign are invested directly at community level, with grassroots organizations that provide grandmothers and the children in their care with supports that include food, educational supplies, uniforms and school fees, medical care, HIV counselling and testing, adequate housing and bedding, counselling and support groups, home visits, and much more. Raising funds has become even more important as medical support is also now needed to help with the spread of Ebola. “One of the things that makes this even more important now is the Ebola scare. So much of the ďŹ nancing has gone from AIDS into Ebola that it has been left behind,â€? commented Ellis. Reaching out to Fallis, the Independent was able to obtain a comment about his free appearance. “I’m very pleased to be coming back to Warkworth.

News - Trent Hills - Showcasing his own brand of humour for what is a very serious fundraiser, well-known Canadian writer and humourist Terry Fallis is returning to Trent Hills as a guest speaker for Trent Hills Grannies for Africa. “Terry is donating his time. It’s really amazing,â€? said Carole Ellis, a grandmother herself who joined the group about ďŹ ve years ago. She recently co-chaired the very popular Trent Hills Grannies for Africa Pre-loved Jewellery Sale, the other big fundraiser for the organization. “His books are all the rage and so funny. His sense of humour and subject matter are what make him so popular I think,â€? she commented. “Fallis employs his understated whimsy and sense of irony in a hilarious chronicle. What delightful lunacy Fallis has concocted here, with a dollop of intrigue and even romance,â€? states the Montreal Gazette, a caption on the Grannies’ brochure. The Trent Hills Grannies for Africa holds two major fundraisers annually, their jewellery sale and special guest night. The money they raise goes directly to the Stephen Lewis Foundation for the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. “We sent $6,000 two years ago and $5,500 last year,â€? noted Ellis. As the foundation points out on its website: “African grandmothers are central to the life of their communities. With almost no support, they have stepped forward to care for millions of

3. “I don’t go to the dentist because I am scared to death�. Dentistry is not like what it is used to be. There are so many newer types of numbing agents that can help minimize anxiety and discomfort. Things like Nitrous Oxide, so called laughing gas, and other medications can be used to help patients feel at ease during appointments. This is known as sedation dentistry. Lasers and air abrasion technology can even reduce the need for needles and drills for certain cavities.

As dentists, we see many different types of patients in our day-to-day practice. Many of these patients are well aware of the importance of oral health as part of an overall healthy lifestyle. However, occasionally we encounter some patients who avoid going to see their dentist for many different But again, the more regularly reasons. Here is a list of some you go to see your dentist, the less likely you will need larger common reasons: complex treatments. 1. “I don’t go to the dentist because nothing is bothering me� 4. “I don’t go to dentists because A lack of discomfort does not every time I go, my dentist finds a mean a lack of disease. Prime cavity�. The fact that you are not examples are diabetes and aware of the presence of a cavity cancers. These are often very quiet does not mean you may not have conditions but when they become one. If you have a cavity, you have noticeable, it is usually too late a cavity regardless of whether to treat them or much damage you go to see your dentist or not. may have already occurred. Most Knowing that a cavity is present cavities and gum disease are very means that you as a patient are quiet and go unnoticeable. By more likely to avoid experiencing the time individuals come see toothaches and root canals their dentist with cavities or especially if the cavity is detected gum diseases, they may require early on. root canals or may even lose their 5. “I don’t go to my dentist teeth. because I have a busy schedule�. 2. “I don’t go to the dentist Many dental offices recognize that because it is too expensive�. life can often be hectic. There are Dentistry can be expensive. many dentists in the Quinte Area However, it is important to know who now offer appointments in that preventative dentistry is the evenings and weekends to suit much less costly than treatments your busy life. that are used to correct problems resulting from oral diseases. For example, the cost for 10 – 20 preventive cleanings and check-ups is similar to the cost of fixing only one tooth with a toothache. People who spend the least amount of money in a dental office tend to be those who see their dentist regularly. This is why most insurance companies pay 80 – 100 percent of preventive treatments; they realize that in the long run, less money will be spent if people see their dentist

6. “I don’t go to the dentist because I am going to get dentures later anyways�. Remember, dentures and partials are NOT true replacements for your teeth. Dentures alone are non-fixed plastic plates that attempt to replace your teeth that are typically solid and anchored in your mouth. Also remember that having dentures means that you now have to think about what you can or cannot eat. Ideally, it is best to avoid dentures if at all possible

A packed house for Easter drama By Brett Mann

News - Tweed - All audience seats were occupied or spoken for at a recent matinée presentation of The Sound of Love. Clayton Scurr with his wife Mari-Anne are co-directing the Easter drama staged by the Tweed Pentecostal Church. “This is our third time doing the play in the past two years. To our understanding it should be a full house for both shows, three and six o’clock.” There is no charge for the performances. “The tickets are free,” notes Scurr. Free will donations? “We’re not even asking for that. We just want to bless people.” The play involves about 20 actors and half-a-dozen helpers taking care of lighting, curtains,

makeup and other tasks. David Wright plays the part of Jesus. A modern-day story of a tormented young man is interwoven with a telling of Christ’s crucifixion and Resurrection. “We start with the ridicule, persecution and crucifixion of Christ. Then we snap out of that and a gentleman by the name of Paul walks in and introduces himself.” Paul begins leafing through a photo album and reminiscing about the different stages of life: times with his grandmother, college years, a failed marriage. Paul’s life has been touched by tragedy, having lost his father to cancer and his mother in a car accident. “He turns to substance abuse

to dull the pain of life’s challenges, then gets married thinking it will bring the joy and peace he’s looking for and he manages to screw that up,” Mr. Scurr relates. “He comes across his dad’s old Bible, looks at it, and turns to it for answers. Then we return to the crucifixion of Christ and his Resurrection, then David Wright who plays Jesus addresses the crowd.”

Roughly 65 people attend services at Tweed Pentecostal each week, Scurr reports but about three-quarters of the average audience for each performance do not regularly attend services. Music for The Sound of Love is mixed, live and recorded with live performances by Pastor Steve Sture and Jillian Foley. As David Wright was receiving his
