Entertainment - Norwood – It was the theatrical equivalent of an OFSAA gold medal.

The Norwood District High School musical production of Anne of Green Gables was a scintillating success and a triumphant expression of school spirit through the delightful world of Anne Shirley which was brought to life in commanding fashion by the large cast and offstage team of artistic collaborators who nurtured the play forward.

Anne of Green Gables, The Musical is an ambitious play for any company to tackle so praise begins with Norwood’s unwavering belief in their ability to stage the musical and give audiences an evening with Canada’s iconic Anne Shirley, the feisty, shrewd and endearing creation of Lucy Maud Montgomery.

Council not happy with Highway 7 winter service

By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock-BelmontMethuen – Township council is not happy with winter service and maintenance along Highway 7 in the township.

“It just isn’t satisfactory,” said Mayor Ron Gerow. “I know council has sent off at least two letters to the Ministry of Transportation on the levels of service on seven.”

With the end of winter, Gerow and council feel that it’s “appropriate” to fire off another letter to the MTO and Peterborough MPP and Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal outlining concerns over service and maintenance along the stretch of Highway 7 that runs through HBM and “ask that consideration be given to our complaints in terms of service

Norwood District High has a rich pool of talented performers and the play fitted their abilities perfectly. Audiences were dazzled by not one but two Anne Shirleys with Brittany Stewart taking the lead and Taylor Pedersen putting on Anne’s famous pigtails on alternate evenings.

Both performers carried their roles with confidence and aplomb transporting themselves back into the bucolic world of Green Gables and Canada’s early years of growing national pride.

Musical director Tracey Irwin of the school’s guidance department and her production directors Aaron Stinchcombe and Todd Murray did an excellent job in tapping into the various talents within

each actor; a cast that also included elementary school students who felt right at home at NDHS. NDHS graduate and wall of honour member Debra Richardson-Edge leant her considerable piano and vocal skills to the production and her presence on the piano and wisdom in rehearsal was a dynamic addition to the show.

The large creative design team and backstage and front of house crew deserve their own standing ovation.

For a couple of hours audiences enjoyed a time-travelling adventure into the postage stamp world of Montgomery’s Green Gables. They can thank Norwood District High for the invitation, and its talented students for the tour.

NEW LOCATON

OPP Detachment commander Brent Anderson for a report on accidents along highway seven, along the entire corridor through the county and those “specific to HBM.” Gerow says the company that does maintenance work along highway seven (Carillion) “needs to know our residents were not happy with the level of service.

“I still hear from time to time about it. I think we should follow it up,” he said. “I’ve heard other mu-

nicipalities along the seven corridor talking about the same thing. I think if we don’t follow it up we’re not doing our job.”

Councillor Jim Martin said he talked to MPP Leal about the highway during the Rural Ontario Municipalities Association (ROMA) conference and its condition “before the winter and now.”

Martin cited the number of broken signs and missing guard rails which are not an attractive sight.

“People ask me who’s paying

for all that? Is the province doing it or does Carillion have to pay for it? I hope it’s not us paying for it.

(Construction crews) did a beautiful job on the highway (upgrade) but now you’ve got dented guard rails.”

There are two issues, service levels and maintenance, Martin said.

“I think it’s tied together,” Gerow agreed. “There’s tons of gravel in the ditch as well. These are questions we have the right to ask.”

Given the unexpected increase in the township’s winter maintenance connecting link contract, “we are paying for it,” Councillor Barry Pomeroy said in answering Martin’s question.

The township saw its winter season contract for the 1.9 kilometer stretch of highway 7 that runs through the village of Havelock skyrocket 16.71 per cent from $18,500 to $22,000. The increase in the one-season contract caught the municipality off guard.

News - Havelock – The Rotary Club of Havelock has stepped up once again to make a significant community contribution. The club has made a $1,500 donation to Havelock Belmont Public School with the money going directly to the school’s activities fund; that means the money will remain in the school and will be used at the discretion of the principal.

The Rotary Club has been an active supporter of HBPS for a number of years and was a major contributor to the School Council’s playground campaign and has been a key participant in the school’s monthly pancake breakfasts for the past four years.

Club members participate as pancake

chefs and servers while the club itself has provided funds from time to time as the need has arisen.

“We have seen a need for new tables and chairs in our time there as well as an ongoing need for equipment for students,” club member Dave Woodside says.

The club’s presence at the school is welcomed by students and staff as is its timely monetary support.

HBM keeps watch on rising water

By Bill Freeman

News – Havelock-BelmontMethuen – Havelock-BelmontMethuen is keeping a close eye on rising water levels and the risks of flooding caused by spring thaw and heavy rain. As a precautionary move council says it will make sure sand and bags are available for property owners in areas considered at risk of flooding and urge anyone looking for assistance to phone CAO Pat Kemp at the municipal office.

“If the request comes forward at least council knows where we can direct people,” mayor Ron Gerow said during Monday’s council meeting.

“There’s certainly a lot of water coming from the north, there’s water crossing some of our main north roads and there’s going to be a lot more,” Gerow said.

Councillor Larry Ellis told council that he has already spoken to some residents on Belmont Lake who are concerned about rising water levels and potential for flooding.

The Crowe Valley Conservation Authority continues to monitor the situation, issuing updated flood advisories as warranted.

“Municipalities and emergency

services and individuals in flood prone areas should be prepared as these areas are especially at risk at this time,” the CVCA says.

“The Crowe River, Beaver Creek and North River continue to rise along with all of the monitored lakes in the watershed,” the conservation authority warns. Residents, particularly those in the flood plain of Wollaston Lake, Round Lake, Belmont Lake, Crowe Lake, Beaver Creek and the stretch of Crowe River from Marmora and south “need to be ready for the possibility of flooding,” says the CVCA. “There’s lots of snow in the north so there’s lots of water to come down,” said Gerow who noted that a creek on his family’s property, usually quite fordable in rubber boots, is experiencing water flows he hasn’t seen in his lifetime.

“Never in 60 years have I seen the water come down through there like that. It’s scary,” he said.

The municipality has sand bags and can access more.

“We should certainly investigate and make sure we can make sand bags available,” Gerow said.

“As far as getting into the actual business of sand-bagging” that is

something council would have to discuss, he added.

If it were a state of emergency “a whole set of other rules” would apply, Gerow noted.

The township is prepared to make sand and bags available for individuals in need but they would be responsible for filling them and transporting them.

CAO Kemp noted that in her previous experiences with flooding and sand bags the fire chief monitored distribution to make sure a small number of people took all the bags and sand.

“I think we’re going to have some site-specific spots that we know,” council Jim Martin said.

“I think we can order some and have the fire chief make sure we have access to bags. We’ve already got sand,” Martin said.

“We can leave this with staff (and) ask them to acquire bags (so) we have something to start with and make sure we have sand at the dome. If anyone contacts (us) looking for assistance we can direct them to the CAO.” The municipality will continue to post CVCA advisories and other water-related information on its website.

Resident makes second bid to represent

By John Campbell

R0012653622

News – Trent Hills – If at first you don’t succeed, wait four years and then file again to run for a seat on council representing Ward 1 (Campbellford-Seymour).

Alan Appleby is hoping his election bid the second time around will be successful because “a lot of the same issues” remain, including the municipality’s debt load and projects piling up that will require decisions by the next council, such as the wellness and recreation centre.

“Somebody’s got to be thinking about where the money comes from and goes to,” he said.

Taxes are “an issue,” which hasn’t been “very easy on taxpayers,” and “sewer and water rates are

high,” he added.

“Sometimes you wonder who’s in charge and how some of the decisions were made,” he said, while acknowledging: “On the other hand there are a lot of good things that are happening around town as well.”

Appleby represents the Second Street Residents Association on the county steering committee that’s overseeing completion of the environmental assessment on the two options for a new bridge in town.

The consultant has recommended a bridge be built between Second and Alma streets, which will disrupt the neighbourhood where he lives. A decision will be made before the municipal election in October.

Appleby said he was bothered

by the process.

“It’s the way they treat people and the fact there seems to be a feeling that infrastructure is more important than people.”

Appleby, who has attended many council meetings since the last election, said he has much to offer the people of Trent Hills, having worked for two provincial governments and run his own consulting company, in planning, and the management of natural resources and the environment.

While working for Saskatchewan, he oversaw a staff of 250 people and a budget of $25 million, he said, and had to make ”a lot of decisions about big projects and big dollars. I understand how things like that work.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Do tasers contribute to increased use of force? til the mentally unstable man tires and can be safely detained, again by utilizing one’s common sense this would be seen as a more rational choice.

It is unclear why a rational population would pay taxes to arm a police force with a weapon of controversy that has the potential to be used against themselves or their family members or a neighbour.

Looking at this from the perspective of a citizen of Stirling, take this scenario into consideration, a farmer and his wife engage in a domestic argument. The police are called and as a result the irate farmer becomes hostile. The police tase the man and as a result he goes into cardiac arrest and dies. The dynamics of this situation have just taken a drastic turn. What could have be been solved through discussion and calm minds has now turned lethal. The level of safety a person expects from their police department has been comprised. In the same scenario without a taser, police would work with the farmer and talk him through his frustration while maintaining the safety of his wife. The lack of force contributes to the safe and successful de-escalation of a simple situation. A certain level of autonomy has been restored as the community would see

this situation as a success. The police are seen as professional, the farmer is given due punishment, his wife is safe, and the communities respect and

confidence in their police force remains.

The fact that the police force has two tasers was a surprise to me. I am of the opinion that

Harper’s message is “Say Goodbye to your CBC”

Dear Editor, Canada’s evangelical/Reform Conservative Party led by Stephen Harper spends millions of our tax dollars on Action Canada ads telling us how great they are at creating jobs. Almost $15 million of our tax dollars went to this thinly disguised propaganda last year alone. Last week, in sharp contrast to their claims of job creation, Conservatives killed another 657 jobs at CBC. What we are witnessing is the classic “Death by 1,000 cuts” and Harper is about half way through his program to silence the CBC because he cannot control the message CBC delivers per their mandate as our independent National

Broadcaster.

CBC President Hubert Lacroix delivered the latest bad news in a well-scripted message which lamented the loss of 657 creative, highly skilled reporters, program directors, producers and writers. In Harper’s world it appears only jobs in the oil sands and related extraction industries are worth supporting.

Forget music, art and culture.

Just help the Chinese and other hungry world powers suck all of the oil out of Canada’s tar sands as fast as they can.

Who gave Hubert Lacroix his job as President of CBC? None other than Stephen Harper. So, whose message is Lacroix delivering? Canadians know all

scripts for public consumption come from the Prime Minister’s Office. Lacroix’s talking points attempted to make it look like economic forces beyond CBC’s control are necessitating these latest cuts. Nothing could be further from the truth. Reality is that in 2009 Harper’s cuts to CBC funding saw 800 jobs lost. Again in the 2012 budget CBC’s funding was decreased by another $115 million, leading to the loss of 650 jobs. In the 2011 federal election Harper promised Canadians the CBC would be fully funded and suggested Conservatives would increase support for our National Broadcaster. He has done exactly the opposite of what he promised Canadians.

Conservatives have forced CBC’s Radio 2 to start running ads. Money for new programs has been severely restricted. The only option left is to repeat programs over and over again to fill airtime. Such moves

As a concerned citizen, I am speaking out for a free and open Internet.

The TPP also would limit accessibility for visually and hearing impaired citizens as it would criminalize them for circumventing digital locks on any digital materials they have purchased. This means they would be unable to convert them to braille, audio or other accessible formats used by people with other disabilities. I believe that the Internet should be open and accessible to all.

New bridge will mean derelict buildings

Dear Editor, I recently had the opportunity to read the Heritage Assessment which recommended twinning the Campbellford bridge. Among other things, it contains some facts about early Campbellford and, as a recent resident to this town, I found this information fascinating. Apparently, Campbellford was once a vibrant, thriving community. My husband and I actually ‘came for a visit and stayed for the lifestyle’ because the town had everything we were looking for, great shopping, a movie theatre, live theatre, the farmer’s market, a hospital and a fabulous coffee shop. Three years down the road the situation has definitely changed. The issue of the Second/Alma bridge has reared its ugly head once again.

The population is dwindling; children are leaving home to attend school and there are very few opportunities here to bring them back. It seems retail businesses are closing and are either being replaced with services or they are not replaced at all. There is a vacant industrial park south of town that shows no sign of attracting tenants. The only growth we can count on comes from either tourism or from the exodus of retired baby boomers leaving the city. Tourism will decline as a result of the recent changes to the Trent Severn waterway and let’s be honest, the ones that come

here are not looking to purchase insurance or have their teeth fixed, they come to shop.

When the existing bridge was widened in the 1960s, it set in motion the slow deterioration of the heritage buildings on the north side. These buildings will never be returned to their former glory and are now nothing more than an unwelcoming eyesore when one comes into town. If a bridge is built at Second/Alma the same thing will happen. The affected homeowners in this residential area will never be able to sell these dwellings and even if they are expropriated (at great expense to the taxpayer) they will never be more than low rent housing. Traffic will be diverted from an already struggling downtown and this new bridge will be no more that a bypass for truckers travelling from Belleville to Peterborough. Historically, bypasses kill towns.

Is that what we want?

We need an opportunity to revitalize Campbellford’s downtown and waterfront to make this town more attractive to people who might want to visit, open a retail business or make it their home.

This town has a lot of potential and we need to make it special again. Twin the bridge, revitalize the downtown/waterfront and let us all get on with our lives.

The mysterious Trans Pacific Partnership deal is not a good one

Dear Editor, I’m not sure how many people here in the Quinte area are aware of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) which is currently being negotiated without any input from Canadian citizens. I am concerned especially since I have not heard our local MP Daryl Kramp speak out against this matter to protect his constituents from Internet censorship.

This issue was brought to my attention by OpenMedia. org/Censorship where they have a petition called “Say No to Internet Censorship” which has over 125,000 signatures to date. I encourage all citizens to learn more about TPP Internet Censorship before it’s too late.

Experts point out that the TPP, would force Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to become Internet police and monitor our Internet use, censor website

naturally decrease listenership. It is a death spiral which the Conservatives plan to complete over the next few years.

All good dictators know they need to control the message the people are allowed to hear. Harper cannot accomplish this while CBC is still broadcasting so these methodical, incremental steps to cripple CBC will continue as long as Harper has a majority government handed to him by only 39 per cent of the population of Canada. We are witnessing the destruction of a national institution, which ties this country together like the railway used to unite Canadians. It will be a dark day indeed when CBC is forced to close its doors entirely and that day is coming.

Dear Editor, Police services across the country suggest that a Taser is the next level of protection for their officers while providing a safer solution for the individuals/perpetrators that have attracted their attention.

The use of this type of force is suggested to be the only option in preventing harm however this type of force points to a great problem, the increased militarization of our Canadian police forces as a whole. In a further examination of the usefulness and necessity of Tasers it is clear that Tasers may contribute to the increased use of force. Illustrating this point is as simple as inserting common sense, a gun would not be drawn during a dispute that seemed to be taking an expected progression to conclusion, where in if a “less lethal option was available” the situation could be concluded more rapidly the Taser may be employed.

Many have heard of or even seen (YouTube) the shooting of the young man on the bus in Toronto, and the final Taserring as his limp body as his nervous system twitched as any dying thing lends its self to do. These are horrific examples of police officers/peoples unexplainable reaction to what should have been a simple strategy of. If a cop had just said, let’s wait un-

Seymour Hersh strikes again

Editorial - Why would anyone believe Seymour Hersh? True, he’s the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter who broke the story of the massacre committed by US Army troops at My Lai in 1968 during the Vietnam War, and revealed the torture and sexual humiliation of Iraqi prisoners by US military police at Abu Ghraib prison in 2004. But he’s Gwynne Dyer getting old (77), and he’s a freelancer, and he won’t even disclose the name of his key informant.

Whereas the US government has hundreds of thousands of people working for it just gathering and analysing intelligence, and the American media are famed worldwide for their brave defence of the truth no matter what the cost. Besides, has the US government ever lied to you in the past?

So we obviously should not give much credence to Hersh’s most recent story. It alleges that the poison gas attack in Damascus last August that killed more than a thousand people, and almost triggered a massive US air attack on Syria, was not really carried out by Bashar al-Assad’s tyrannical regime (which the US wants to overthrow) It was, Hersh says, a false-flag operation carried out by the rebel Al-Nusra Front with the purpose of triggering an American attack on Assad. If you can believe that, you would probably also believe his allegation that it was the Turkish government, a US ally and NATO member, that gave the jihadi extremists of al-Nusra the chemicals to make sarin (nerve gas) and the training to carry out the mass attack in Damascus.

Hersh even says that it was General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, who told President Barack Obama just days before the American strikes on Syria were due to start that the evidence was not strong enough to justify an American attack on the Syrian regime.

The rest of the story we already know. Obama post-

poned the attack by deciding, quite suddenly, that he had to get Congressional support for it. Then he cancelled it entirely once the Russians gave him the facesaving alternative of getting Assad to hand over all of his chemical weapons for destruction. There is no chance of an American attack on Syria now. But could Hersh’s back-story be true?

By last August it was clear that Assad’s regime would eventually win the civil war unless there was some radical change in the situation (like an American bombing campaign against it). So Assad’s survival depended on not giving the United States any reason to attack him.

Barack Obama had already said that any use of poison gas by the Syrian regime would cross a “red line” and trigger an American attack. In mid-August there were United Nations inspectors in Damascus to look into two much smaller attacks earlier in 2013 that seemed to involve poison gas. And we are asked to believe that at that precise moment Assad thought it would be a neat idea to kill one or two thousand innocent civilians in the city with poison gas.

So who did it? The obvious question to ask was: Who stands to benefit from this attack? The answer was certainly not Assad. He would not have done this unless he was stupid, and being wicked does not make you stupid. Whereas the rebels had every reason to do it, in order to suck American firepower in on their side.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s prime minister for the past 11 years, has backed the Islamist rebels in the Syrian civil war from the start, and he will be in deep trouble if they lose. They will lose, unless either Turkey or the United States comes to their aid militarily. Erdogan would obviously rather have the US Air force do it rather than his own armed forces. So he had a good motive for giving the rebels the poison gas.

Hersh says that he has been told by a former senior official in the US Defense Intelligence Agency that that is what happened. You can read the details on the website of the London Review of Books. And yes, he’s old, but that just means he has been getting it right about a lot of different things for a long time.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Trade agreement is not in our interests Dear Editor Despite strong opposition in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, this secretive agreement is forging ahead, behind closed doors, a trademark of this Conservative government. Canada was allowed to join these negotiations in October 2012.

Behind its deceptive ‘Trade Agreement’ title it seems that only two of TPPA’s 20 chapters actually have anything to do with trade. From the limited facts that have emerged about this secretive pact, it appears that it will grant new privileges to already powerful US and multinational corporations. Protecting US intellectual property rights and enforcing more control of the Internet are top agenda items. The pact apparently focuses on ensuring enforceable corporate rights, while increasing constraints on governments. It will even limit the way governments can spend their own tax dollars!

From the scant information presently available, it would seem that adoption of the TPPA would mean a future of extensions to high priced drug patent monopolies and increased corporate rights to attack government drug pricing plans. Guess what that will do to our health care system?

trol over our natural resources, already in jeopardy because of Bill C-38’s destruction of government and environmental influence over resource extraction, are other TPPA articles that are not in Canada’s interests.

If fully implemented, the TPPA will apparently reduce the ability of governments to warn their citizens of the dangers of cigarette smoking.

These TPPA negotiations are yet another disturbing example of the still growing pattern of secretive, unaccountable and undemocratic practices utilized by the Harper Conservatives. Their actions are completely opposite to the transparent government they promised prior to election. This pattern clearly evidences their arrogance and contempt for Canadians and endangers our democracy. Not only can they not be trusted, remember this at election time folks, but they are downright dangerous and put our future existence at risk.

This is another issue that we should bring strongly to the attention of our sitting member, Rick Norlock and ask him to allay our fears. But, perhaps he has no information either, which could be why he fills his taxpayer-financed circulars with apple pie issues, photo ops and thinly disguised party propaganda.

Some consistency would be nice Editorial – On Saturday, Harper’s main attack dog John Baird was at it again, threatening more sanctions against Russia. It’s not surprising in the least that the Harper government is once again echoing the US party line. Most would be surprised if they didn’t.

At one point in time, our policies weren’t always in lockstep. We sided with the Americans when it made sense to do so and when it didn’t, Canadians had their own point of view. Those days are apparently long gone. Israel, Syria, the Palestinians, Libya, Iran, Afghanistan, Egypt, you couldn’t slip a piece of paper between their foreign policy and what passes for ours. If one harkens back to the days of Ronald Reagan, Mikhail Gorbachev and the breakup of the Soviet Union, one of the deals supposedly in place was, if Gorbachev allowed the reunification of Germany, he was promised that NATO wouldn’t expand into the former states of the Soviet Union. Gorbachev genuinely seemed like a pretty good guy compared to other Soviet/Russian leaders past and present but he was perhaps a little too trusting.

That particular agreement wasn’t worth the paper it wasn’t written on and the US began quickly chipping away at the former Soviet satellites, expanding NATO closer and closer to the borders of Russia. They were, in effect, building a wall around the country. Russia was not pleased.

As its power waned and NATO continued to encroach on its territory, Russia was even more displeased with the shenanigans backed by the US and European Union.

So when neocon Victoria Nuland recently admitted to some of the US’s destabilizing efforts in an intercepted phone call and also admitted that the US had spent $5 billion trying to get the right kind of government in Ukraine, right being one that would kowtow to Washington, Russia was incensed. When the west’s extreme right wing Nazi collaborators overthrew the Ukrainian government, Russia had enough. It had been propping up Ukraine for years with loans and cheap natural gas and it wasn’t about to lose a major naval port in the Crimea it had already leased.

Considering the Crimea was part of Russia until Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev gave it away in the 1950s, Russia wasn’t about to sit idly by when 60 per cent of Crimea’s population considered themselves Russian.

So after what may or may not have been an actual referendum, Crimea was annexed and Putin became the devil incarnate in the western world, a title more than a few Russians had already bestowed upon him.

Western nations were incensed that he would do such a thing, the same western nations who knew darn well what the US was up to trying to unseat a Russia-leaning, corrupt, but democratically elected government in Ukraine.

One might wonder where the same fury was during the mass protests in the country of Bahrain just a couple of years ago. That country is ruled by a monarchy, read dictatorship, and is fully backed by

the west considering it’s home to the US Navy’s 5th fleet. When the majority Shia protesters complained about their lack of representation in the minority Sunni kingdom, the Saudis came in to help put down the demonstrations. Hundreds were killed and thousands tortured but while western nations tsk, tsked, the word sanctions was never uttered. After all, this country possessed a port vital to US interests ... the same as Crimea does for the Russians. The US blamed the unrest on the usual scapegoat, Iran.

While, Canada, the US and Britain loudly boo Putin, many in Europe are much more pragmatic. While they don’t care for Putin, a dictator in his own right, they also realize that poking the bear isn’t in their best interests. While trade with Russia may be somewhat insignificant in North America, except for the Russian vodka some would like pulled off the shelves, the same can’t be said for much of Eastern Europe that depends on Russian natural gas.

Russia also controls many of the supply routes the US depends on to get goods to its troops in Afghanistan.

If push comes to shove, Russia will not be swayed from what it thinks is right, no more than the US would be. While Russia and the west do share some values, one should not be tempted to think they’re the same people. A quick look at Russian history might lead a person to believe that Russians are a very nationalistic people who would not be averse to enduring some hardship in the face of western pressure.

The more the west pushes, the more the Russians will consider their other alliances, in particular the BRICS countries, which include Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa with states such as Iran sitting on the sidelines hoping for membership. Those countries have already expressed concern over Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop’s comment that Putin should be barred from attending the G20 Summit in November.

Recent revelations that China and Russia are considering dumping the US dollar as the world reserve currency should be cause for concern throughout the western world especially if other BRICS nations follow suit. That would affect us all. Rumours that China will re-open the old Silk Road as a trading route between China and Germany, the EU’s economic engine, should also give one pause.

Considering that China with its major US debt holdings could pull the rug out from under the US at any given time, maybe the US should take a minute and think before constantly threatening the rest of the world. Empires don’t last forever and the US’s power is definitely waning. The public may not like Putin but they don’t want another war especially when both countries have nukes.

As for Canada, one would hope our country would continue to speak out for human rights around the world. And if our allies need a good tongue lashing from time to time, they should be called to task as well. Otherwise we look like hypocrites on the world stage.

“Bark for Life” cancer fund-raiser coming to Campbellford

By Sue Dickens

News – Trent Hills – Who let the dogs out?

The organizers of a new event coming here are letting not only their dogs out but the word out about a new event coming soon.

“Tell cancer it barked up the wrong tree” is the phrase being used to promote “Bark for Life,” a new event coming to Trent Hills.

In the past Relay for Life organizers have held a kick-off breakfast in April to launch the an-

nual campaign but this year a change is providing a new way to inspire participation.

“Bark for Life,” is coming to Campbellford and it’s an event that is held across the province, but it’s never been held here,” said Darlene Brown, past co-chair of Trent Hills Relay for Life.

“It is a sister event to the Relay for Life,” she explained.

“We’re doing it In place of the kick-off breakfast. It’s a chance for Relay participants to come out and get their kits,” she added.

Brown noted the organization is “trying to get a whole new group of people involved and “Bark for Life” just seemed like a great idea.”

Both she and her sister Bev McComb participated in the “Bark for Life” held in Marmora last year.

“I have been in the Relay for LIfe for over six years now and I guess this fund-raiser just sounded really good.

When we went to Marmora and participated, it was fantastic,” said McComb, who has been active as a team captain.

“There were at least 25 dogs in it there. It was wonderful,” she added.

The Canadian Cancer Society hopes by inviting dog owners to join in the fight against cancer, there will be even more support.

“It’s a fun event, not a serious walk, it’s a fund-raiser and we’re having the rally at

the same time. People who are interested in putting in a team in Relay for Life or joining or finding out about Relay for Life can come,” said Brown.

Emily Vassiliadis Relay for Life fund-raising co-ordinator with Canadian Cancer Society Peterborough and District office told the Trent Hills Independent, “Bark for Life is a volunteer run event with staff support.

“This is for individuals as opposed to teams,” she added.

“We have a modest goal of $1,500,” she commented.

Dogs have to be on a leash and it will be held rain or shine.

Vassiliadis also wanted

readers to know that the format for this year’s Trent Hills Relay for Life will be changing.

“It’s a pilot project. It will run from 7 p.m. to 12:01 a.m. instead of the 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. format,” she noted.

For those who want to plan ahead, this year’s Trent Hills Relay for Life will take place Friday, September 5.

“Bark for Life” will be held Sunday, May 4 with registration at 9:30 at the Red Barn at the Campbellford fairgrounds. The walk begins at 10 a.m. with closing ceremonies at 11 a.m.

Agreement ‘win-win’ for Trent Hills, ag society

agreed to swap land with the Municipality of Trent Hills to allow for the construction of a recreation and wellness centre at the fairground.

About three-quarters of the CSAS members who attended a special meeting April 8 voted in a favour of the deal which commits the agricultural society to handing over about six acres at the one end of the fairground to be used as a site for the centre and parking lot.

The CSAS, as part of the land transfer, will receive about 3.5 acres in return, at the opposite end of the fairground, where the arena, parking lot and municipal works yard are currently located.

“We’re very happy,” fair board president Brian Redden said.

The agricultural society had agreed in principle before to consider striking a deal but the municipality needed an agreement in place before it could apply for funding

be come up with some new events.”

If the agreement had passed with a narrow majority, “we would have been quite concerned, there might have been some bad feelings at that point,” Redden said.

“Some of our members ... were opposed to it, saying we can’t do this, it’s going to ruin the fair.”

Trent Hills CAO Mike Rutter said the fair board “wanted to make sure they could carry on providing the type of services (they now do) on their property” and council members and staff “were happy to help in that process.”

The next step is for the fair board to talk to the committees in charge of the different sections of the fair to find out “what they need and want,” Redden said.

Trent Hills warns residents to prepare for possible flooding

News – Trent Hills – The municipality has advised residents in areas prone to water accumulation to prepare for flooding.

Trent Hills issued a news release recommending residents have “sufficient and appropriate emergency supplies on hand, make personal arrangements for

alternative accommodations should the need arise, move personal property to higher ground, and check sump pumps to ensure that they are working properly.”

Owners are responsible for any equipment required to protect their property, such as generators and pumps.

Sleep Apnea is a serious, potentially lifethreatening condition that is diagnosed when a person stops breathing for more than 10-seconds, multiple times during a period of sleep.

If you or your partner is suffering from sleep apnea, a visit to your dentist, as well as your doctor may provide lifesaving treatment options.

For those who have or live with someone with sleep apnea and live in or around the Trenton/Quinte West and Belleville area, Dr. Brett's Family Dentistry can provide a treatment option that has been shown to be a very effective in the treatment of snoring and sleep apnea. Dr Brett and his staff are committed to your care. They will discuss your condition, answer any questions you may have, and provide a treatment option known as oral appliance therapy.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a result of the relaxation of the throat muscles during sleep, leading to collapse of the airway and prevention of normal air flow (oxygen) to the brain. This results in increased efforts to breathe and therefore poor, interrupted sleep.

Loud snoring, punctuated by silences, followed by a snort or choking sound are signs a partner should listen for.

“It’s a win-win for the municipality and us,” Redden said.

The municipality has a site for its rec centre and “they’re planning on giving us a cattle barn for showing cattle” after the existing arena is torn down. The CSAS has use of the arena for free during the fair it holds every August.

The organization will also get help with fencing and other things that need doing.

“That’s the advantage of partnering,” Redden said. “It’s a great opportunity because

“They’re getting interested in cooking.”

Stuckless says its “really important right from the beginning as their growing to have a relationship with food and be able to create recipes and learn those processes.”

News – Campbellford – They’re the gift-givers who keep on gifting, the members of Campbellford Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.

They were at it again last Friday, handing over a cheque for $58,650 to hospital CEO Brad Hilker.

“We finally made it, we achieved our goal,” Norah McGowan proudly announced.

The money is for an upgrade to the central cardiac monitoring system and a portable vital signs monitor. It’s the latest donation in contributions that add up to much more than a million dollars over the years.

“It’s really appreciated, all the hard work you do, (and) you’ve been doing it for over seven decades now,” Hilker told the auxiliary. “Without your support we couldn’t do what we do, (which is providing a) great hospital.”

The funds were raised over the past two year by a variety of means, including raffle tickets, pledges made to participants in the annual Polar Plunge, a bottle drive, gift shop sales and bingo revenue.

The auxiliary set its target for this year, $25,000, for the purchase of two electric beds and two pain pumps for the pharmacy department.

Upcoming fundraisers include a fashion show at the Campbellford Legion May 3. Social hour begins at 1 p.m.; refreshments will be served at 1:30 p.m. and the show will start at 2.

Fashions from three area stores will be modelled – Zazu’s of Campbellford, Julia’s of Stirling and Trentmendous of Warkworth.

“Dynamic, generous” volunteers lauded at luncheon News - Asphodel-Norwood – Described as the “wheels that make Community Care run every day,” the 54 registered volunteers who deliver and support a variety of programs in Asphodel-Norwood were honoured last week during a special tribute lunch.

“I am lucky to have the opportunity to interact with such a dynamic, generous and kind group,” Norwood program assistant Kelly Small said in an interview after presenting service pins to four long-standing volunteers and special silver paintbrush awards to the crew that helped refurbish the office’s New to You shop.

Small agrees that while some organizations have had difficulty recruiting volunteers, Community Care has been a model of recruitment and retention of its large team of volunteers, more even than such a large organization as the Peterborough Regional Health Centre.

“I don’t know what it is but we’ve been so fortunate to draw people,” Small said of the organization which has blossomed in Peterborough County and City since its inception in the late 1980s. The first meetings held to create a unified organization to help seniors at home were held in Norwood.

“We’re still encouraging more people to come and be part of the family we could

always use more,” she said.

“They really are the wheels that make Community Care run every day. These are the folks who staff the front desk, do the drives etc. They are the eyes, ears and hands of the community.

“It’s nice to think that other groups look to us as role models,” said Small. “Any of these people here I would hold up as a role model for what is volunteering in your community and

“Volunteering really makes my day.” the spirit it embodies.”

The Norwood office had 175 registered clients over the past year in a number of programs with transportation being the service most used.

“It is a most difficult thing for people in rural areas, getting to places,” said Small.

The office’s 17 drivers made over 450 round trips last year for clients; those trips included medical visits and essential shopping.

The transportation program helps people living alone who can’t get out and clients with family members who live far away and even those with family closer to home.

“They don’t want to feel they are a burden on the family,” Small said.

“It’s one of the best organizations I’ve volunteered for and I’ve volunteered since I was 14,” 15-year volunteer Margaret Dawson said. “They are very caring of their volunteers and the people that you deal with are so appreciative of your service.”

Dawson started with the Keene office in 1999 and when it closed she was encouraged to continue volunteer work in Norwood.

“I didn’t really know anybody here but it’s certainly nice to be a part of it,” she said.

“I’ve met so many great people volunteering with Community Care.

“I have never volunteered for anything where I haven’t met somebody new or learned something new,” Dawson added. “Volunteering really makes my day. I’d encourage anybody Community Care Norwood honoured its team of 54 volunteers during a special lunch last week.

Fund-raising idea for Dream Lottery striking a chord with Campbellford students

By Sue Dickens

News – Campbellford – This year’s fundraising Dream Lottery is striking a chord with all of the students at the Campbellford District High School (CDHS).

For the first time the fundraiser will give every student the opportunity to sell tickets.

An all-school assembly was held on March 31 with a fun component featuring videos of students called “what would you do for $10,” which was done to promote the new campaign.

“Every ticket a student sells will also effectively give them $10 (not cash) to put towards a school based extracurricular ac-

tivity,” said music teacher Dave Noble.

“I’ve been thinking of making this change for the last couple of years .... The school does budget for extracurricular stuff but it’s not enough to cover all the costs,” he explained.

“I’ve always wanted to help the kids in music to be able to participate. That’s always been my mantra and I’ve always wanted all the kids to participate ... So when I presented the idea that all the students sell tickets to the Dream Lottery, the principal said, ‘so what’s the downside’, . . . and there is no downside,” Noble said.

Staff jumped on the bandwagon too.

“The teachers are very supportive, buying tickets to help the kids,” he added.

“The school doesn’t benefit in any way from this fundraiser, this is benefiting the students. We want kids to be part of the school teams. We want them to have a great experience in the school.”

The idea that all the students at CDHS will be selling tickets seems to be hitting all the right notes.

Rachael Doyle, student council’s prime minister, in Grade 12, is in the senior jazz band and plays volleyball at CDHS. She said, “I will probably split the profit on the tickets I sell because in volleyball we have fees to cover and bus costs, tournament fees and stuff like that and whatever I have left will go towards my Vancouver trip.”

The junior and senior jazz bands will be heading to Vancouver to compete in MusicFest Canada, May 12 to 17. The cost per student is approximately $1,900.

and is also a defensive lineman on the CDHS football team.

“I’m going to pay for my football fees and we have to pay for busing to get to games and some of the equipment and referees . . . and then I‘m going to put leftover money into my Vancouver trip,” he said.

Grade 12 music student Eva Osterlee said, “The fact you get to pick and choose where to use the money is kind of cool.”

Alex Fedora, a Grade 11 student who plays bass in the junior jazz band, agreed.

“I think this plan will help the school more as a whole for all of the teams rather than for just one group.”

Trombone player and Grade 11 student Brianna Parcels said, “I will be using the majority of my money for the Vancouver trip but I am also on the Boston trip so this will help pay for it.”

The Dream Lottery featuring the school’s jazz bands takes place April 26 and tickets are $20 per family.

There is a $5,000 grand prize to be won (don’t have be there to win) as well as many big door prizes.

“It really is terrific to have people come and see what we do. They hear about us but it’s nice to actually experience what we do,” said Doyle.

Cheque to Free the Children Cramming the cruiser

When Abby first learned of the organization she knew she wanted to get involved.

“I got involved immediately because I thought it would be something I would be interested in and I wanted to see what was out there and what is happening,” she commented.

“In the first year I just wanted to try it. Then I started fund raising and going to We Day and it really opened my eyes, seeing what other kids live through,” said Hailey.

Hastings Lions help out Community Care

By Bill Freeman

The Hastings Foodbank was given a significant boost by generous shoppers at Todd’s Valu Mart during Saturday’s Cram the Cruiser event. Many who donated took advantage of the special $10 bags of food items that store owner Todd McElwaine made up for the occasion. The Foodbank extends its special thanks to Todd for his help with the Eastertime drive and notes that the Christmas food drive at the store was also “highly successful.” Shown in the photo is Northumberland Auxiliary OPP Constable Zachary Curtin, who along with Aux. Const. Brian Mowatt, helped accept the Cram the Cruiser donations. Photo: submitted

Possible upgrade for Community Centre surveillance system

By Bill Freeman

News - Asphodel-Norwood – Township council will take a little more time before it decides on whether to upgrade the security camera surveillance system at the AsphodelNorwood Community Centre.

A complete upgrade of the system, which would double the number of cameras to 16 and increase memory capacity to one month, would cost $1,450, Community Centre manager

Greg Hartwick told council.

The current system runs seven cameras and has room for one more which Hartwick has suggested could be used to monitor the soon-to-bebuilt splash pad.

The addition of a high resolution camera to monitor the splash pad area would cost $700, he said.

Hartwick also told council that linking the security surveillance sysContinued on page 15

News – Hastings – The Hastings Lions Club is small in numbers but very big in heart and proved it once again with a $500 donation to Community Care Northumberland in Hastings.

The six-member club has seen its membership dwindle drastically over the past two decades dropping from over 160 just 20 years ago to 26 six years, ago, president Jim Dowell says.

But the club remains active and involved in the community and is extremely pleased to help organizations like Community Care, says Dowell, himself a former driver for Community Care’s Hastings transportation program.

A couple of current members are also volunteer drivers.

“That’s what we’re here for,” he says. “We are a service club and we like to donate to different charities.”

Along with contributions to Community Care, the club has helped out Camp Dorset, the CDHS graduation bursary program, youth bowling at Dodds Lanes in Hastings and guide dog training. They even sponsored a stock car last summer.

“We’re busy but we can certainly do with more members,” says Dowell.

“It’s amazing. It’s giving within the community and it’s a really good feeling. People really appreciate that too as we do,” said Natisha Debutte, Community Care program co-ordinator for Trent Hills, of the Hastings Lions donation.

“It means a great deal for Commu-

nity Care. We’ll make sure that all the funds are used to help people in the community,” she said.

The money is not ear-marked for a specific program.

“We will look and see what the needs are and how we can help people,” says Debutte.

She says Community Care is buoyed by the public’s response to the new falls and exercise programs that have been introduced locally. They’ve also added to the number of personal distress alarms distributed through their offices.

“That’s something we can work on.”

Community Care Northumberland has served Hastings since 1988 and has 25 volunteers who give their time so clients within the community so they

tem to his home computer via the Internet would be something worth considering; it would cost $200.

He recommended the addition of the one camera and the Internet link but didn’t think the $1,450 upgrade was needed at this time.

Deputy-mayor Joe Crowley thought differently and recommended the municipality upgrade the system; Crowley initially suggested that if the Community Centre manager wanted the home Internet link then it be paid for by means other than by the taxpayers but later withdrew that idea.

“I think if the arena manager wants it linked to his house that’s okay but the taxpayers not pick up that costs,” Crowley said earlier in the discussion.

“I think for liability reasons we

should proceed and have a larger system,” he said, characterizing the current system as “insufficient.”

The current system has memory capacity for between 48 hours and ten days, said Hartwick.

CAO Joe van Koeverden said that there was money in the current budget to support the $700 and $200 expenditures but if there would need to be special additional approval for the $1,450. “$1,450 to upgrade the system is very important,” said Crowley.

Hartwick said that having a home link would allow him to check on the community centre late at night without having to make a trip to the facility.

He also told council that signs that clearly state “employees only” have

been ordered and will be installed on the office, concession booth and Olympia room.

Councillor Rick Kloosterman supported the idea of the internet link.

“You can access it bang,” Kloosterman said. “It’s going to save a lot of time and energy. You can click on it from home; I don’t have a problem with that.”

Mayor Doug Pearcy was not sure council needed to make a decision on the security camera during the meeting.

“The splash pad is not going to be built tomorrow,” Pearcy said.

Pearcy suggested staff return with a report and a recommendation and explanation of where the $1,450 would come from.

“Just table it for now.”

Community Care Northumberland programs include community diners clubs,

transportation, friendly visiting, home at last, home help and maintenance, meals on wheels, telephone security checks, palliative care and bereavement services and support for caregivers.

Two charged with mischief News – Trent Hills – Police have charged two local men in connection with several incidents of mail boxes and traffic signs being damaged in Trent Hills and Alnwick-Haldimand Township during March.

The damage appeared to have been caused by a firearm.

Northumberland OPP Street Response Team investigated and charged Joseph Ranger and Troy Clarke, both 19, with mischief under $5,000, careless use of a firearm, and use of a firearm while committing an offence.

The pair are scheduled to appear in Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg on May 14.

Poetry month celebrated at Cat Sass Coffeehouse

By Bill Freeman

Entertainment - Norwood – It’s poetry month and the Cat Sass Coffeehouse in Norwood is serving up two entertaining readings to celebrate the occasion including a first-ever “one-off” show in the heart of Peterborough’s café district.

The first show, an April 26 gig (4 p.m. to 6 p.m.) featuring dynamic writers Sandra Kasturi, Cathy Petch and Hailli Villegas, will take place at the revamped highway 7 coffeehouse in Norwood.

The second literary night is scheduled for April 30 (7 p.m. to 9 p.m.) at the Barbeside Salon at 131 Hunter Street West, a venture that brings the popular readings to the city for the first time.

Sandra Kasturi is a writer, poet, book reviewer and Bram Stoker award winning editor and certainly be dipping into her two poetry collections: The Animal Bridegroom and Come Late to the Love of Birds.

“The animal Bridegroom is a wonderful showcase for Kasturi’s work – she has

a lot to say and hundreds of ways to say it,” writer best-selling writer Peter Straub says. “Filled with poetry of sheer, spinning invention and genuine passion, none of it comfortable, this long-awaited book is a genuine pleasure to read.”

Kasturi was born in Põltsamaa, Estonia and now lives in Toronto. She is the co-publisher of the ChiZine Publications, which has been nominated for the World Fantasy Award and the British Fantasy Award.

Cathy Petch is a playwright, spoken word artists, performer and musician with the group The Silverhearts. Her first full length book of poetry is called Late Knight Knife Fights. Petch was a member of the 2011 and 2012 Toronto Poetry Slam teams that finished fifth in Canada.

Hailli Villegas is the publisher of Tightrope Books which has published 61 titles including the award-winning The Best Canadian Poetry in English and The Best Canadian Essays. She has released three collections of poetry: Red Promises, In the

Silence Absence Makes and The Human Cannonball as well as a book of short ghost stories called The Hairwreath and Other Stories.

Gordon Johnson was a teacher at Trent University for over 40 years and has a new book out called But for Now, which is published as part of the Hugh MacLennan Poetry Series.

The Thunder Bay native served on the advisory board of the House of Anansi Press for over ten years and coordinated a successful writer’s series at Trent for a number of years.

Gord Bruyere is an Anishnabe from Couchiching First Nation and recently had his first collection of poetry, Prayer Wings, published in Winnipeg. His writing has also appeared in Struggle and Strength: Perspectives from First Nations, Inuit and Metis Peoples in Canada; Native Literatures: Generations and FACE: Aboriginal Life and Culture.

Township supports small town school funding review

“All municipalities strive to be complete communities and education represents an integral component of being a complete community. Education is one of the largest assets a municipality can provide to its residents in terms of offering quality of life and quality of community,” Penetanguishene says.

It notes that small town and rural schools are being closed “in favour of opening new schools in larger city centres.”

It also says the provincial government has “not consulted nor communicated” with small town rural municipalities “being serviced by school boards in regards to school closures” nor has it talked directly to them about the “financial implications” of school closures.

“We hope that small town Ontario gets some consideration with this,” said Pearcy.

Mayor Pearcy said he was surprised to learn that Peterborough was to get a new kindergarten to

grade 12 French Catholic high school.

“That’s pretty nice but we’ve got all these other schools sitting (with available space),” he said.

“Once we get this thing in Peterborough more kids will go to French immersion and that will draw kids away from the schools we’ve got now.

“If they’ve got the space why build a new school. Sit that school in one of the present schools,” he said, citing Norwood District High

as a prime example of a school with space to accommodate such a venture.

Deputy mayor Joe Crowley supported the resolution but added that school boards need business people as directors of education.

“There is all kinds of money to be found in the current budgets of most school boards if they want to find it. I support it but there are issues within the system that have to be addressed by a business person.”

and residents,” the resolution states.

It asks the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and the Ontario Small Urban Municipalities Association (OSUM) to “clearly and directly” deliver the message that the per student funding formula must be changed. It also wants the two associations to deal directly with the Ministry of Rural Affairs and the Ministry of Education.

News - Norwood – Asphodel-Norwood council agrees that the provincial government’s per student funding formula puts rural towns at a disadvantage and “dramatically effects small communities.”

Council strongly backed a call from the Town of Penetanguishene demanding a new funding formula for small town and rural municipalities and a moratorium on school closures until a review is completed on the controversial Accommodation Review process.

“This is an important one we should support,” mayor Doug Pearcy said of the resolution.

“People who understand how schools are funded would say that small town schools are at a disadvantage for funding,” Pearcy said.

Mayor Pearcy admits he’s one of the many who doesn’t completely understand the complicated funding formula but agreed with his counterparts in Penetanguishene which has borne the impact of three Accommodation Reviews in the last eight years, two in the past five years.

“I would be pretty sure that the guy who runs the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board would agree,” Pearcy added.

“The current funding formula dramatically impacts small communities, from the loss of cultural identify for our children, the negative impact of job losses, diminished ability to attract new business

Girls night fun with the IODE

Events - Norwood – Girls just wanna’ have fun. And they do every year at the sold-out Norwood IODE Girls Night gala in the Millennium Room of the AsphodelNorwood Community Centre.

This year’s ninth annual night out, with singer Victoria Pearce headlining a show that included an outstanding meal and table-packed silent auction was another terrific success for the small but industrious Norwood IODE chapter.

The organization has been both eclectic and imaginative in its entertainment offering guests everything from fashion shows to Neil Diamond tributes and with a tenth anniversary evening in 2015 looming, re-

gent Lisa Cossar says there will be some deep thinking about their program.

“I don’t know what we’ll do for number ten,” Cossar said. “The committee saw Victoria midway through the year and thought she was fabulous. We’re just thrilled to have her here.”

The gala has always been popular but not always easy to organize for a small organization.

“Now, after nine years everyone has their role and they’re good at it,” says Cossar. “The night before we said it was almost going too smoothly. We’ve got a great committee then there’s us worker bees. Everybody pitches in.”

“There are quite a few here (guests) for

the first time,” she said looking out over the hub-hub of the Millennium Room. Many organizations attend the event regularly but rotate tickets among members, she says.

“People put their names down now but tickets go on sale in January. People would like it to grow but we don’t have the facility and our committee is limited to this size but it’s good.

It’s a big production, but it’s still personal.”

It is also a showcase for the community, Cossar adds.

“If we could get one table’s

worth of these girls to join the IODE that would be brilliant because we’re always looking for new members. It’s a service we’re providing here but it’s a fun kind of event too.”

“This is a great audience.

I feel very comfortable,” said Pearce of Lakefield, an acclaimed Patsy Cline tribute singer who ranged across the spectrum of great female singers during the gala, everyone from Gloria Gaynor and Karen Carpenter to Linda Ronstadt as well as Patsy.

“Lots of liberated songs.”

Township will look at generator for town hall and portable system tor at the public works building would cost less at $21,500 because it already has a built-in transfer switch.

“I think we should zero in,” Mayor Doug Pearcy said. “We don’t have this kind of money to do all these buildings.”

On a generator at the Hastings pump station to provide back-up for Trentview Estates residents Pearcy said, “I think we heard from residents that people who use that system don’t care if they have a generator and if they do have a generator they have to pay for it.

“Zero in on one project and find the money to get it done,” he said, adding that a project like this might become eligible under future federal and provincial infrastructure funding programs.

“We need to be ready.”

Mayor Pearcy supports a generator at the town hall and further research on a portable system that could be used within the municipality.

Deputy-mayor Joe Crowley said he was “astounded” that the community centre was not at the top of the list.

“I really think the priority should be the community centre and the town hall,” Crowley said. “The community centre is accessible to everyone. We’re not worried about the ice or Olympia room; we’re interested only in the foyer and the Millennium Room.”

News - Asphodel-Norwood – The ongoing discussion about emergency generators at public locations in Asphodel-Norwood continues with council “zeroing in” on a permanent generator for the town hall and reviewing options for a portable system that could be used at different locations in the township.

A report to council from AsphodelNorwood CAO Joe van Koeverden provided information on generators at four locations -- the Hastings pump station, the community centre, town hall and public works building – with a recommendation that generators be installed at the town hall and public works building.

The cost to install new generators at all four locations would be over $100,000, van Koeverden said.

The estimated cost of new generators at the town hall and public works building was $47,800; used generators would total $18,000, the report indicated.

It was hoped that the generator at the nearby water system pumping station at Lions Park could be linked to the town hall but it’s not compatible.

The report says the cost of a permanent generator at the Hastings pump station would be $31,500 and $29,000 for the community centre. A genera-

Heart healthy message for students

By Bill Freeman

News - Hastings – Keeping your heart healthy begins at an early age, say Trent University nursing students Sarah Martin and Ashley LaFlamme.

The second year students are working with the Heart and Stroke Foundation as part of their health education community placement and that has them making “Heart Healthy Kids� presentations across the region. One of those stops was Hastings Public School where they talked to grade four-five students.

Their heart health message focuses on three key points: healthy eating,

physical activity and avoiding tobacco. “The most surprising thing is that the majority of Canadians will spend their last ten years in sickness,�

Martin said.

That’s a fact that many Canadians don’t consider when they think about heart disease and prevention, she says. The relate heart illness with heart attacks and strokes. “They don’t relate heart health to being healthy the whole time instead of being sick or in bed the last ten years of your life. We want

to make the point to the kids that it’s important to start being healthy now so that you have a long healthy life.�

They acknowledge that the generation they are speaking to are not nearly as physically active as they were at a similar age. “That’s the obvious thing that we’ve noticed,� said LaFlamme.�

But what has surprised them is the fact that the grade fours and fives are far less likely to know older students who smoke which was not the case when Martin and LaFlamme were in

grade five. “That’s a good difference to see from when we were young,� said Martin. “There are a lot less smokers now.�

That is borne out by Health Canada statistics which clearly show that since climbing in the early 1990s youth smoking numbers have taken a noticeable decline.

In 2000, 25 per cent of youth 15 to 19 years of age smoked; by 2012 that number had dropped to 11 per cent.

The same is true of 20 to 24-yearolds. In 1991 40 per cent of that

anybody get hurt,� one HPS student said in a video the leadership committee made to use in their presentation. “Many children have a good idea if what bullying is because they see it every day,� the committee said. “We really need to get involved to help stop it.�

Bullying can take on a variety of forms, the committee told the audience, from verbal, physical and social bullying to using the social media to target victims. “Bullying makes children feel lonely, unhappy (and) can make them feel unsafe. Children can lose confidence and not want to go to school anymore; it can even make them sick.�

They were clear about debunking the myth that “bullying is just a part of growing up. “Bullying does not help kids build character,� the group stressed.

Bullying can cause “long-term physical and psychological harm� causing victims to “withdraw from family and school activities and wanting to be alone.�

It can also have a direct impact on a student’s ability to learn, they said.

It can also lead to much more serious outcomes like suicide or reckless personal behaviour.

They also emphasized the fact at bullying doesn’t just affect children but stretches well beyond school yards and classrooms and into adult society.

Bullying habits formed in youth can continue into adulthood.

Public support essential to funding new recreational facilities in Trent Hills

News - Trent Hills – The way is clear for Trent Hills to seek government funding to build a wellness and recreation centre at the Campbellford fairgrounds, now that it has an agreement with the agricultural society.

It’s the major piece of a puzzle in a $33 million project the municipality has developed to reinvigorate and expand recreational programming in the community with new facilities in Campbellford and Hastings, and an addition to the arena in Warkworth.

Now the task becomes to step up efforts to solicit donations from the public to fund the municipality’s one-third share of the overall cost, assuming the federal and provincial governments will pay for the balance.

Trent Hills has done its part, having set aside tax dollars for the project annually since 2010.

It started with $75,000 and has been increasing its contribution by that amount each year and it will continue to do so until 2015, when the total reaches $450,000. That sum, collected annually through the levy, will be used to carry a loan or debenture of $5.5 million over 20 years.

The nearly $2.5 million in the reserve, built up over a six-year period, will be applied to the other $5.5 million that needs to be raised locally. Trent Hills will use $1.5 million from the municipal fund that’s administered by the Campbellford-Seymour Community Foundation, and the foundation has committed $500,000 from the community fund it operates.

That leaves $1 million still to be raised, and here the municipality is counting on the public to meet that target, as part of a five-year Flourish campaign, which is also collecting money for the hospital ($4 million) and the foundation ($2

million).

Trent Hills CAO Mike Rutter admits it’s been “really challenging” to convey how critical it is for residents to support what’s being proposed.

“We’ve just struggled to get that message across,” he said. People “really don’t understand the financial aspects of the recreation and wellness project in particular ... because it’s a very complicated set of numbers.”

Here’s how the money is to be used: The Hastings arena has been closed, to be replaced this year by a field house that will include artificial turf for soccer, an indoor walking track and a driving range, at a minimum cost of $2.9 million.

The largest expenditure, by far, will be to replace the Campbellford arena, which is also a “tired” building that’s functionally “obsolete” and doesn’t meet today’s standards for accessibility or service levels.

“Most of your demographic” isn’t using that kind of a facility anymore, Rutter said. “Right now it’s a very small portion of our community that are having their needs met by our recreational facilities.”

The plan is to build a centre with a rink and leisure and therapy pools, along with a gymnasium, walking track and multi-purpose room.

Rather than continue to put “Band-Aids on our existing buildings,” it makes sense to invest money in new facilities that are accessible and can offer a broader array of programs, Rutter said.

“The other thing we hear often from people is these are really expensive to run and we don’t think we can afford to operate (them),” he said. What they “have to understand (is) we’re subsidizing our recreational facilities very substantially already” -- about $569,000 a year for the three

This is the concept rendering of what the Trent Hills Wellness and Recreation could like, according to Lett Architects, of Peterborough. Photo: Submitted

rinks and outdoor pool.

That’s slightly more than the $565,440 the municipality projects it will spend annually to operate the wellness and recreation centre and expanded Warkworth arena.

That estimate includes $816,200 in operating expenses at the Campbellford facility minus annual revenues estimated at $466,000 in membership fees (600 members multiplied by $460), programs ($80,000), hall rentals ($60,000) and aquatics ($50,000).

The other $215,235 in subsidy Trent Hills will provide annually is for the Warkworth arena – about $35,000 more than it currently does.

The field house is expected to break even.

So, overall, “we believe it would cost about the same amount as our existing facilities and we would be providing

Cram the cruiser 2014

better service, (and) certainly more energy facilities (that are) accessible,” Rutter said, and the annual cost to taxpayers would be “a little bit less.”

The new facilities will mean residents won’t have to travel outside Trent Hills for programs not offered locally, and they will bring in non-residents, for programming and tournaments, for example, which will have a positive economic impact, he added.

“We really do need the community to step forward and come up with the other million to take us over the top,” Rutter said. “We also need the implied support that comes with that money. That’s really critical for council right now to know they’re on the right track. And that’s a great statement to the other levels of government as well (who will be asked to provide most of the funding).”

Pedal for Hope ready to ride again

By Bill Freeman

Events - Peterborough-Northumberland – The inspiring Pedal for Hope team is ready to jump into their cycling saddles and bike their way into the hearts of thousands of local students.

The team of cyclists from the OPP, Peterborough-Lakefield Police, and RCMP and special guests will visit 48 schools over a three week period and cycle over 1,000 kilometres across the region in an effort to raise funds and awareness for pediatric cancer research.

Their efforts have been rewarded wherever they stop and the volunteer riders have left their mark in significant ways along the cycling trail.

Last year the Pedal for Hope campaign raised over $370,000. The cycling tour has now become the Canadian Cancer Society’s largest fund-raiser for pediatric cancer research and has been recognized by the prime minister, sports icons and music celebrities.

The Pedal for Hope Peterborough cycling team is ready to kick off another fundraising campaign and The society has even named a will be making local stops in Warsaw, Hastings, Norwood, Campbellford, Warkworth and Brighton research grant after Pedal for Hope. will be making their way through the area in the next king team. Photo: Bill Freeman

The team will visit a number of schools in our local area starting May 7 when they touch down in Warsaw, Hastings and Norwood; on May 8 they stop at Hastings Public School and Hillcrest and on May 9 they will be at Percy Centennial, Brighton Public School and Northumberland Hills.

“There isn’t anyone on the team that hasn’t had a family member or friends touched by cancer”.

They kick off their journey April 24 at Westmount Public School and wrap up the tour May 17 with a major event at Adam Scott Collegiate in Peterborough.

It has been a whirlwind of success for the team since it first took to the road in 2005.

“When I created the tour I had actually planned it out over ten years that $1 million would be an awesome goal. To do it in six years was fantastic,”

tour brainchild Detective Constable John Townsend of the PeterboroughLakefield Police Service recalled during an interview during a previous stop in Hastings. Can’t believe how well it’s taken off and to have the support of the students.”

“There isn’t anyone on the team that hasn’t had a family member or friends touched by cancer,” he said at the time.

“We’ve met a lot of great kids during the tour who are fighting cancer and in remission but we are still fighting for the ones we lose.”

The dollars raised, he says, make a “huge difference.”

The cancer that struck down Terry Fox is curable today, said Townsend.

“Terry set the bar for fund raising.

In ten years we’ll be looking back and be able to say we’ve made even more advancements.,” he added.

“We’re working on our second million. It’s been absolutely fantastic.

It’s all these students doing it; they’re the backbone of our team.”

A-N fire department ready for solar panels

By Bill Freeman

News – Asphodel-Norwood – Firefighters with the Asphodel-Norwood Fire Department are ready to deal with the growing reality of roof top solar panels on residential and commercial buildings, says interim Fire Chief Darryl Payne.

“It’s a part of society now and we have to deal with them,” the chief told councillors after tabling a report on the issue.

The municipality is engaged in an ongoing initiative with Peterborough Utility Service that could see a major installation of rooftop solar panels on the public works building and the Asphodel-Norwood Community

Centre.

“Yes, solar panels are an issue for fire departments and we are willing to deal with them. They can be an issue. The bottom line is we don’t have any choice, really,” said Chief Payne.

“As technology and society keep evolving into new achievements the fire department must change and adapt as these changes occur,” he said in his report. “Solar panels are just another situation that must be addressed by various means.”

Because solar panel systems will be more “plentiful” in the future fire departments must be prepared to adapt, Chief Payne said.

The Otonabee-South Monaghan

fire department has already faced a solar panel fire and has shared its experience and knowledge with local fire departments, he added.

Special considerations include having fire departments participate in new training programs specific to solar systems and enacting new standard operating procedures and guidelines.

Chief Payne says firefighters have to be aware of the fact that solar/ thermal panels can have hot, scalding water in the system and that they are

Flood warning remains in effect along Trent River

Northumberland – A flood warning remained in effect this week for the municipalities of Trent Hills, Brighton, Cramahe Township, Quinte West, Centre Hastings, Stirling-Rawdon, and Alnwick-Haldimand.

The flood warning, first issued by Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) April 10 and updated April 14, alerts municipalities to be prepared to activate a flood emergency plan, and to warn residents or businesses in specific affected areas. In some cases, evacuation could be required.

Lower Trent said Monday in a news release that water along the Trent River at Percy Boom and Glen Ross have stabilized over the previous 24 hours as the runoff from last week’s rain and snow melt from tributary streams flowing into the Trent River (including Rawdon, Salt and Cold creeks) was passed downstream through the river system.

Runoff from melting snow in upstream sections of the Trent

River watershed resulted in steady increases in water levels on the Kawartha Lakes and the Crowe River last weekend.

Residents living along the Trent River from Hastings to Trenton were advised they should anticipate elevated spring flood flows over the next couple weeks with a rise in water levels possible as the runoff from upstream sections of the watershed moves downstream through the river system. A forecast of 15 to 20 millimetres of rain, predicted for a 24-hour period following the issuing of the news release, was not anticipated to cause significant impact to water levels along the Trent River.

The Trent-Severn Waterway is monitoring water conditions closely and making dams operate as required to allow the spring runoff to pass downstream through the river system. Lower Trent Conservation will be maintaining daily contact with the waterway, the provincial Surface Water Mon-

itoring Centre, Ontario Power Generation and neighbouring conservation authorities to maintain awareness of all dam operations and conditions that might affect the downstream sections of the river.

Residents should ensure their sump pumps are in working order and secure personal property (boats, docks, etc.) along the Trent River. The public is urged to use extreme caution around all watercourses due to strong currents, very cold water temperatures, and slippery stream banks. Parents and caregivers are advised to keep children away from all waterways.

Areas around dams, culverts and bridges should be avoided at all times.

Lower Trent Conservation said it will provide updates on conditions at its website www. ltc.on.ca.

Anyone having concerns about water levels can call Lower Trent Conservation at (613) 394-4829.

Norwood Hornets honour junior stars

Sports – Asphodel-Norwood – It was trophy and medallion time Sunday for Norwood District Minor Sports and the players who wore the Hornets hockey sweater this past season. The NDMS held its annual awards gala in the Community Centre’s Millennium Room breaking the presentations into two separate events with the junior divisions (tyke to atom) in the spotlight first.

The NDMS annual general meeting will be held April 28 (7 p.m.) in the Millennium Room.

“You are the ones with the young ones coming up and we need your support,” Buchanan told the parents.

The association’s annual golf tourney will be held June 14.

Local residents can donate to HOPE’s hockey equipment swap

By Bill Freeman

Sports – Asphodel-Norwood – Area residents can help alleviate some of the ever-rising costs of hockey by donating gently-used equipment that will be gathered up, cleaned and put up for sale at deeply reduced costs during the big “Hockey Swap for HOPE” at Peterborough’s Kinsmen Centre August 16.

The local not-for-profit HOPE (Helping Others Participate Equally) committee is running the sale and will disperse funds raised to minor hockey associations in Norwood, Ennismore, Douro, Otonabee and Peterborough for their tyke hockey programs.

“Hockey is getting to be more and more expensive, equipment is more expensive, ice time has gone up (and) what we’ve seen is a lot of registrations have gone down,” says Norwood Minor hockey grad Ryan Sedgwick who is one of the 11 members of the HOPE committee which honours the memory of a hockey buddy who died of cancer at the age of 35.

HOPE is also raising money for a cancer treatment facility that has just been installed at Peterborough Regional Health Centre.

“I’ve been pretty fortunate to grow up playing hockey and have been lucky along the way,” Sedgwick said during Sunday’s Norwood Minor Sports Awards afternoon.

Along with helping out the treatment centre, Sedgwick, a multi-award winner during his Norwood minor sports days and former Junior A player in Pembroke and Western University lacrosse

player, says the other key goal is “trying to help get kids into sports, predominantly hockey.”

“We’re essentially trying to get more kids involved in the game, keeping them in the game a little longer and hope to alleviate some of the costs a little bit,” he said.

The August 16 sale will benefit families looking to save money on good hockey gear and also assist area tyke programs.

The equipment drive started during the third annual Gaskell Memorial Cup and Sedgwick says they were able to collect over 800 different items during the event. HOPE will be collecting more equipment until the end of April and local supporters can drop gear off at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre or at Sedgwick’s Alma Street home in Norwood.

“We want to help family save some money buying new gear,” he said.

“It is our mission to provide kids opportunities to demonstrate qualities such as self-confidence, work ethic, self-esteem and discipline needed to compete in athletics and in life,” HOPE says. “We believe the promotion of health through activity is a necessity to all children. Activity is the hallmark of a healthier lifestyle benefitting children at any level.”

HOPE acts to make sure that no “child is left behind” because of the escalating costs of sporting activities. The group wants to make sure all children get a chance to participate in sports regardless of their financial situation and “to ensure that all children have equal opportunity in athletics.”

Curling club wraps up

By Bill Freeman

Sports – Asphodel-Norwood – Marje Lunn’s rink made it book-end league wins at the Norwood Curling Club. The rink of Lunn, Heather Reynolds, vice; Doris Stephens, second and lead Karen Paszternak curled to the second half Monday night ladies title matching their success in the first half of the league schedule.

The curling club wrapped up its league play recently during a very successful 50th anniversary season.

Other league winners were: Tuesday Night Mixed, first half - Ron Cooney, skip; San-

dra Bruce, vice; Pat McGriskin, second and Amber McGriskin, lead; second half, Dan Selby skip; Marianne Kelly, vice; Rick Guthrie, second and Aziel McKenna, lead.

Wednesday Night Men, first half – Dan Selby, skip; Brian Clarke, vice; Pat McGriskin, second, Allan Purves, lead; second half, Gord Montgomery, skip; Pat McGriskin, vice; Dan Pichie, second; Vern Stockdale, lead.

Thursday Afternoon Mixed – first half, Gord Montgomery, skip; Dorthy Smooker, vice; Albert Crowley, second; Jodi DeJong, lead; second half, Denton Curry, skip; Sharon

Scott, vice; Mike DeJong, second, Donna Cronin, lead.

Even though there were not enough participants for a Thursday night mixed league a small core group led by Brian Bolton enjoyed curling in a less structured atmosphere.

The Norwood Curling Club will hold its annual general meeting April 22 at 7 p.m. in the club room. Club members are encouraged to attend the AGM to learn more about how the club works and to offer their ideas and input on the season ahead.

The AGM will also include the election of club officers for 2014-15.

The path to vitality

I panicked...

My hair was thinning!

For a long time Christie had wanted to do something extra for her hair. She felt it appeared dull and was thinning.

Hair VolumeTM became her resource.

C

hristie encountered hair loss, which was very frustrating.

“I have tried many things before, but to no avail.”

which made me realize that it was special.”

Very positive experience

Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I first read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,

“Today I have taken the Hair Volume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will definitely continue taking this product”, relates a happy Christie.

Barry Walsh humbled by sports Honour Award

By Bill Freeman

Sports – Asphodel-Norwood – Barry Walsh always remembers the volunteers who were tireless in their efforts to make sure local youth could play hockey in Norwood. It left such an indelible mark that Walsh vowed when he was in a position to contribute to minor sports in Norwood he’d jump at the opportunity.

And he did exactly that when his three sons were old enough to play hockey and softball.

Those efforts were recognized Sunday afternoon during the Norwood District Minor Sports awards afternoon when Walsh was presented with the prestigious NDMS Honour Award, a presentation that left the gregarious coach and former executive speechless.

“It’s a tremendous honour,” Walsh told The Independent after NDMS president Rob Buchanan made the presentation. His portrait will be added to the community centre’s honour wall in the hallway near dressing rooms one and two.

“I go by that dressing room every day. It’s quite an honour to be mentioned among that group,” he said.

“When I played my minor hockey in town somebody was there in the background doing it all for us. I always swore that when I got the opportunity and I had kids I would want to give back too.” It’s a tremendous feeling to give back to the community and help keep it going for the kids.”

Walsh is a former NDMS president and helped bring the Country 105 video dances to the community centre as an association fundraiser. He was also instrumental in having Norwood’s “second” hockey teams to become Leo League teams or enter as A/E teams rather than play in house leagues.

Walsh has also coached at all levels and was behind the bench again this year with his son Joey as a member of the Bantam LL Hornets coaching staff.

“Joey and I had a blast,” he said.

Walsh is heartened to see so many young Hornets graduates returning to coach and help out with NDMS teams.

“I like seeing the young players now returning as coaches. It’s nice to see they’re feeling the same thing; they want to contribute because it takes a mountain of volunteers to keep kids off the street doing things.”

The awards gala was particularly special for Walsh because his oldest son Brad

received the Dale Ryan Memorial Award. Brad, a graduate of Wilfrid Laurier University, remains involved in the sport as a referee with aspirations to officiate in the NHL. “He’s still continuing on and it all started here in Norwood; his dream still is to go to the NHL and he still thinks he’s got a crack at being there as a referee,” Walsh said. “It was probably Bergen Payne who got him interested in refereeing at a young age and he’s continuing (doing) 200 games a year for the past four or five years.”

Receiving the Honour Award shortly before his son was presented his award was “pretty special,” Walsh added.

By Kate Everson

News – Quinte West – Even shooting a pellet rie has gone electronic. “This is not your old BB gun and paper target any more,â€? said Captain Corey Lohnes at the CFB Trenton gymnasium with 105 cadets on Saturday. “It is all electronic scoring. The ries are able to shoot half a millimetre target.â€?

He said this is the ďŹ rst time the cadets have used this technology. The cadets were familiar with the ries but not the scoring which is recorded automatically on the screen. “We have some of the best marksmen from all over Ontario here today,â€? Lohnes said. “The regionals really narrow it down, with 105 out of 17,000 cadets in Ontario competing.â€?

In the nationals the following day, 15 cadets competed with air, sea and army cadets from across the country to win medals and trophies. “This is all ages, from 12 to 18 years old, male and female,� he added. “One of our best marksmen is a 15-year-old girl from Alberta.�

He said the new technology makes it easier to compete across Canada without everyone having to come together.

They can post their results electronically. Each cadet gets 10 shots to record their score. Teams consist of ďŹ ve cadets including two juniors under 15. “It’s so cool to embrace the technology,â€? Lohnes said. “This is our ďŹ rst go. We just started three weeks ago.â€?

He noted that this training in marksmanship involves focus, concentration and self discipline. “It gives cadets the opportunity to attain lifelong skills,� he said.

The cadets train to slow their heart rate down while aiming to focus only on the target, despite other distractions like noise all around them. “It gives them a sense of accomplishment,� he added.

Local cannabis advocate happy with court injunction

By Sue Dickens

News – Campbellford – “We won! We can keep growing! – for now,� said Al Graham, a cannabis advocate who has been dealing with Crohn’s Disease for over ten years and uses medical marijuana to get through each day.

He was responding to a decision by a Federal Court judge in Vancouver who granted an injunction allowing those who have a personal production licence to continue to grow medical marijuana for now.

This follows a period of angst by those having licenses to grow and to use medi-

cal marijuana as the new Health Canada rules that went into effect on April 1 allows a few companies to begin production of marijuana for licensed patients. “The government wants to remove our grow license and force us to buy from commercial growers. Some patients grow outside for $500 or less per year but now they will be forced to pay commercial prices that will cost them tens of thousands of dollars. When a person is making $12,000 or less on disability this becomes impossible,� said Graham. “Presently there are 11 licensed com-

mercial business approved but only three are fully running. These three cannot ďŹ ll the orders for everyone, thus a supply issue becomes a problem,â€? he added. “Our goal was to have the judge render an injunction on the present Marijuana Medical Access Regulations (MMAAR) program until the new program can be segued in the courts on its constitutionality,â€? he explained.

Graham is a patient and a spokesperson for the grassroots advocacy group People Advocating Cannabis Education (P.A.C.E.) as well as a host, one of ďŹ ve,

on the The P.A.C.E. radio show. “The medical marijuana program in Canada has been before the courts with numerous cases since it began in 2001.

Every time they lose and this latest injunction further shows that, after all these years, the government can’t get the program right,â€? said Graham. “This leads me to believe the only solution is to legalize it like wine and beer for everyone. Buy it at a licensed store or grow it yourself. In the end we collect some taxes and remove the ďŹ nancial support to gangs and criminal organizations.

Never mind the savings to our healthcare system,� he added.

Taking his beliefs to the streets, he attended a patient rally on Parliament Hill in Ottawa the day before the Health Canada regulations came into effect. “It was a windy cold day but about 125 people showed up ... The small crowd could be expected, never mind they’re sick ... and sick people don’t have extra money to travel,� he noted. “Rally event organizers and speakers met with the press in the press gallery to

Annual wood carving show takes over QSWC

By Steve Jessel

Birds and waterfowl are popular subjects for woodcarvers, dating back to when the practice was used as a hunting aid. Photo: Steve Jessel

News – Belleville – Competitors and spectators crowded into the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre Saturday for the largest woodcarving competition in Eastern Ontario, where nearly 300 competitors submitted their best and brightest pieces in hopes of taking home top prize in their respective categories.

Organized by the Quinte Wood Carvers’ Association, the 27th annual Quinte Wood Carving Championship is a oneday, annual event that regularly attracts more than 1,000 spectators each year.

Competitors submit pieces in four classes, four divisions and more than 20 categories during the show, where judges carefully inspect each entry for things like symmetry, detail and proper use of colour.

Longtime carver and Quinte Wood Carver’s Association member Serge Moisan said contestants come from all over Ontario for the event, from as far as Niagara and London, and that it seems to have a good reputation NATIONAL AIR FORCE MUSEUM OF CANADA among visitors as same carvers Tickets $100 each the seem to return year at the Trenton MFRC after year.

Together we are stronger!

“Wood is very forgiving – it’s a relaxing thing for me,” Moisan said, when asked what he loves most about carving.

Fellow Quinte Wood Carvers’ Association member Bob Trottier is one of the founding members of the group, and said that today they number around 60, meeting twice weekly to share tips and tricks and to hold and attend classes.

A woodcarver since 1987, Trottier said he started with ducks as most carvers do, but for the past few years has been focusing on carving seabirds, as he finds them more “graceful.” Ducks are a common subject for woodcarvers as the practice seemingly originated with historical duck hunters, who would carve “duck decoys” in order to attract their prey.

“It’s a chance to show creativity,” Trottier said. “It’s a good hobby because it challenges you, it makes you think.”

Trottier typically starts by finding an appropriate subject for a carving, then takes to the internet to find as much information as he can, including dimensional drawings and natural photographs of his subject. From there Trottier creates his own drawing of the subject before selecting a piece of wood – he said basswood and tupelo are the two most common woods used.

“From there, I carve away everything that isn’t bird,” he laughed.

Once a carving is complete, Trottier takes to painting the piece, which is

commonly required if the piece is going to be entered in a competition. Trottier said painting is something that gives a lot of carvers significant difficulty as it requires a completely different skillset. Trottier tends towards more muted colour schemes, as he said they look more natural.

“We have an expression – you either carve to paint or paint to carve,” he said.

“You want your carving to support the painting as much as you can.”

Trottier entered just one piece in the competition Saturday, as he said he had been too busy teaching with the club, which always welcomes more members.

Veteran marijuana lawyer John Conroy, enlisted by the Marijuana Medical Access Regulations (MMAAR) Coalition Against Repeal, was present and spoke to the media and the gathering.

The federal government has said it would challenge any injunction that bars new rules requiring marijuana users to receive their supply from commercial growers.

Graham is happy with the injunction and glad to have an opportunity to talk about the matter, which remains before the courts.

“We are the victims not only because of our medical condition but also in the way our government portrays us and by telling our stories it helps to eliminate this stigmatization.”

Book launch brings together veterans and families

By Kate Everson

Events - Quinte West “This is a very special event,” said Robert Amesse of the Quinte West library as friends and family of the HMCS Trentonian gathered at city hall on April 12. It was the launch of Roger Litwiller’s book “White Ensign Flying” and the donation of the original cover painting to the library by Bayside artist Marc Magee.

At the event were veterans Bill Shields from Oakville, Gord Gibbons from Lindsay and Jim Erwin from Bancroft with their families. There were also families of deceased

crew members, Marion Lewis from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan for the family of Lewis Murphy, the Glassco family of Colin Glassco, Commanding Officer of the HMCS Trentonian, the Dodd family of Donald Dodds, gunnery officer, and the Chadbolt family of George Chadbolt.

“Welome to the veterans,” Mayor John Williams said. He congratulated Roger Litwiller for a fantastic story. “It captures the people, what the guys went through,” he said. “Telling the story is really important.”

Cory of Trenton submitted the name Trentonia which was later changed to Trentonian by mistake, but the king had already signed it. He noted that citizens of Trenton were involved supporting the corvette and contributing everything from an accordion to a washing machine. Mrs. Cory christened the ship in Kingston before it went to sea.

MPP Rob Milligan commented, “It is truly an honour to be here.” He thanked Roger for encapsulating the memory and the stories. He said it is important to generations of Canadians to know what these people had to endure so that we enjoy the freedoms we have today.

Tom Riefesel, Chief Petty Officer of the Royal Canadian Navy, said the Battle of the Atlantic brought Canada to power during World War II with the efforts, tenacity and comradeship of the sailors. “We stand upon your shoulders today,” he said. “Service to Mayor John Williams and MPP Rob Milligan joined in the presentation with veterans Bill Shields, Jim Erwin and Gord Gibbons with author Roger Litwiller and Chief Petty Officer Tom Riefesel. Photo: Kate Everson one’s country is noble work.”

Robert Amesse introduced author Roger Litwiller, and noted that he got a lot of research right here in Trenton library with notes from Hazel Farley who was the town’s liaison with the ship and kept track of the local servicemen. “I am proud to have been able to assist Roger,” he said.

Roger Litwiller smiled, “What a day! This is an absolutely glorious celebration! I am absolutely shocked by the turnout today.”

He thanked the veterans whose action in 15 months has given our nation what it has today. “You have our gratitude,” he said.

He noted that Marc Magee’s painting of the HMCS Trentonian hung on his own wall for two years, but he is now donating it to the library so it can be shared with many.

Litwiller said the book started as a project to teach cadets. He became so involved it turned into 13 years of research for the book. He noted the

Litwiller thanked his wife Rhonda and children, who he dragged to archives on holidays. His one son joined the air force “but I still love him,” he smiled.

Litwiller also noted that the Battle of the Atlantic will be commemorated in Halifax with the construction of a massive four acre building to be built in the harbour by 2017. “This has to be done,” he said. “If we don’t do this, we let go of our history and sacrifice by Canadians.”

Peregrine falcon has valuable story to tell

By Bill Freeman

Two bands, a singer, a great cause Entertainment - The evening of Friday, May 9 will see the culmination of the above- mentioned combination! These three elements will come together at the annual concert of the Trenton Citizens’ Band which is organized by the Lunch Bunch of King Street United Church in support of instrumental music programs in six local schools.

The format of the evening at King Street Church (100 King Street, Trenton) starts with dessert and beverage in the auditorium (6:30 p.m. - 7:15 p.m.) and is followed by the concert beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the beautiful sanctuary.

Together, our Citizens’ Band, the Jazz Rock Band from Trenton High School as well as soloist Holly Carroll will provide an awesome variety of music that evening.

The Trenton Citizens’ Band has been directed by Mr. Don Embree for eight years and is now in its 52nd year. The THS Jazz Rock Band is under the direction of Mr. Vince Thornton who has taught music at Trenton High for six years. This will be the debut Trenton performance

of Holly Carroll, a well-known singer who is now semi-retired in Trenton.

Numbers that will be performed by the Trenton Citizens’ Band include tunes from Broadway’s “Lion King”, “Cats” and “La Cage aux Folles”! As well, the band will play Don’s own arrangement of “Jerusalem”.

To recognize the significance of Honour Day, the band will play an original composition by Chris Embree titled “The Memory of His Smile”. Its poignant theme will be explained that evening.

Trenton High School’s band will feature jazz band arrangements of “The James Bond Theme” and “Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen.

Another highlight of the evening will be provided by guest singer Holly Carroll who brings with her many years of performing, starting with the Elmer Eisler Chorus in Toronto at the early age of 15 years. For many years, she performed on radio and television broadcasts including CBC’s “Juliet Show”. Holly was a nightclub singer for several years and has travelled around the world to perform. Before coming to Tren-

ton, she formed a music preparation company in New York City.

During the concert, her powerful soprano voice will be heard on numbers that include “Memory” from “Cats” and the “Shadow of Your Smile” which are most appropriate for mothers on this Mothers’ Day weekend.

Thus, the audience, after enjoying delicious desserts, will be entertained by two fantastic local bands as well as an amazing singer!

Our Trenton Citizens’ Band is going to have a very busy Friday, May 9th as they will perform at two Honour Day celebrations.

One will be in the morning at the Afghan War Memorial in Bain Park and they will play again at Quinte West City Hall in the early afternoon.

Trenton High School is performing an original ‘50’s themed musical titled “One for the Money” set to the music of Elvis from May 29 – 31.

Tickets for the May 9th event at King Street Church are only $8 (all students are free). They may be obtained by contacting a member of the Lunch Bunch, through the church office (613-392-5270) or at the door that evening.

News - Hastings – It’s a good news story that very nearly became one of the nature’s greatest man-made tragedies.

“The Peregrine Falcon is still the most highly studied species and bird on the planet even after 40 years of recovery programs in North America,” says Mark Nash, of the notfor-profit Canadian Peregrine Foundation he helped found in 1997 after a national breeding program closed and government funding was curtailed.

Nash visited Hastings Public School recently to talk about the remarkable bird’s “special story and plight.”

Not only is the Peregrine the fastest animal on the planet, clocked at over 400 miles per hour in swoops and dives, something the United States Air Force took notice of when it incorporated some of the bird’s features into its F-16 jet fighter, Nash says the bird has “given us a lot to history and more recently the DDT.” Because of “negative human intervention” in the form of the very effective, yet toxic, chemical insecticide DDT, the Peregrine was officially listed as “extirpated” in Ontario by 1980.

There was not one “producing pair” in the entire province,” Nash said in an interview.

But there’s been a blos-

soming of sorts in the species thanks to the banning of DDT in North America and the introduction of recovery programs.

“The good news for the Peregrine is that is has come off the endangered species list,” says Nash, “but it’s still a species at risk.”

The species’ recovery isn’t advanced enough to leave it to fend for itself.

There are between 84 and 86 “occupied territories” in Ontario today, says Nash.

“Whether there are one or two peregrines per territory or whether they’re breeding remains to be seen.”

The news is “very positive” but Nash still characterizes the numbers as “pathetically low” after a very expensive national recovery program in Canada.

“So it’s gone from zero to 80 plus pairs. We’re starting to see a great rebound attributed to a national recovery program in Canada, captive breeding and release, banning DDT, endangered species laws, a lot of education and a lot of other programs carried on with non-governmental organizations (NGOs). It’s been an accumulation of a lot of different things over 40 years.”

But cautious optimism is the watchword, says Nash.

“The species has a 90 per cent mortality rate to breeding age; (that’s) Mother Nature’s checks and balances control-

ling overpopulation of a species but Mother Nature never anticipated DDT which practically decimated the Peregrine in North America.

“The Peregrine, Bald Eagle and Osprey were our canary in a coal mine. They told us that story. Had it not been for the near demise of the species there’s a good chance we’d still be using (DDT) today,” said Nash.

The chemical is still being used in some South American countries to fight malaria.

“It really is a reliable monitor for the health of our environment, particularly our land mass because Peregrines eat exclusively other birds. Whatever is affecting the Peregrine is probably affecting humans.”

The Peregrine, says Nash, is “one of the top environmental monitoring superstars” which governments should be monitoring more closely because of what the species tells us about the world around us.

Wetland/Wildlife bus tours offered

Lifestyles - Everything you would like to know about wetlands and their wildlife is available on Wetland/Wildlife Bus Tours! On May 3, in the Belleville area, the Eastern Ontario Stewardship Collaborative is offering a free bus tour led by experienced guides to view fascinating wetland projects. Note the registration details below.

Wetlands are a tremendous resource, providing valuable services such as flood prevention, drought resilience, and wildlife habitat. In fact, our wetlands abound with exceptional biodiversity and they are teeming with life. Wetlands provide essential habitat for as many as 600 species of wildlife in Canada. Think of the classic image of our great blue heron gracefully soaring overhead. Numerous duck species as well as the elegant loon live and play in our ponds and wetlands.

This is an opportunity to learn

much more about birds, ducks and other wildlife residing in our wetlands. As part of the tours, our birding expert (with experience of 30 plus years) will conduct short birding forays on site.

The bus tour will visit several distinctive wetland projects and the tour guides will highlight the value of the projects and answer your questions. This is a chance for citizens to find out how to help protect this valuable resource. The tour guides are wetland professionals with backgrounds in ecology and conservation programming.

Many organizations including Ducks Unlimited, Conservation Authorities and Stewardship Councils are working to protect and enhance wetlands in our area. The tour guides can direct landowners to appropriate expertise and funding help for those interested in their own wetland projects.

Belleville Tour: On Saturday,

May 3, the bus tour by luxury coach departs from Belleville at 9 am. Participants will visit two excellent wetland project sites in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. Other sites will be pointed out en route. The tour will take approximately three hours, and the bus will return to Belleville at about 12:30 p.m.

Note there is also a bus tour in the Kingston/L&A area on May 4. Contact EOSC (Lesley) for details.

Bring your rubber boots and be prepared for some walking and mucking about. Included in the tours are a wetland information package, snacks and drinks.

There is no charge for the tours; they are compliments of the Eastern Ontario Stewardship Collaborative. Registration is required

by April 25. For registration or more information, contact Lesley at 613-389-0418, ext. 131 or l_rudy@ducks.ca EMC Section B - Thursday, April 17, 2014 B5

A visit to the gardens and canals in China’s Suzhou

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - While visiting China’s largest city, Shanghai, my wife and I decided to take a day trip to nearby Suzhou, a city renowned for its gardens and canals; after all, it’s often referred to as the “City of Gardens” and as the “Venice of the East”. It’s located just about 100 km. northwest of Shanghai, and it’s one of a series of water villages along the Yangtze River delta that contain several garden estates, narrow canals, and a plethora of arched bridges. However, we discovered that this water

village also had a population that was much larger than that of Toronto.

The highlight of our visit was our boat tour through the narrow canals themselves and under the many arched bridges. We took our excursion on a Monday, and it appeared to be wash day here. We saw several people washing clothes in the river itself and many freshly cleaned clothes were on display, drying in the sun. We also saw many Chinese lanterns on display as we glided along the way and we even saw a bride sitting on a

bridge in her wedding gown (this apparently was actually a model merely posing for photos rather than a bride at a real wedding). Residents who lived next to the waterway were able to literally shop from home, for they could simply lower baskets and purchase fresh produce directly from the passing boats.

We saw several skyscrapers including a large Holiday Inn along the Grand Canal before we entered the more intimate, narrow canal system and then these modern buildings suddenly vanished from our sight. We seemed to be quickly transported back in time, for we now encountered ancient buildings along the narrow canals, primarily white houses with black tiled roofs, along with stone bridges including one that was over 800 years old and wooden boats. The ride through the narrow canals was very peaceful, tranquil and, yes, it did remind me somewhat of Venice.

If we met another boat on these narrow streets, we had to proceed with great caution, as there was barely room to get by one another. The water itself appeared to be quite murky, too but the locals were using it for washing their clothes. I even saw a dead rat floating in the water.

Suzhou is also famous for its silk industry, so we went to a silk factory, too, where we not only saw the beautiful silk scarves, dresses, shirts, bedding, etc., but also learned about the entire process from silk worms, to cocoons, to the grading and boiling of cocoons, to the gathering of the thread and the making of the finished products. We also visited Suzhou’s

well known Tiger Hill, where the Yunyan Temple Pagoda has been a city landmark for over a thousand years; here we climbed the hill for an up close and personal view of what’s known locally as the Leaning Tower of Suzhou for there’s a definite tilt to it. We also checked out the city’s ancient Pan Gate, which was built about 2500 years ago by the state of Wu, and learned that its new Gate of the

Orient is the city’s tallest building completed in 2011.

While visiting Suzhou, we also checked out some of its meticulously designed gardens, for there are so many of them in this city, including the Garden of Cultivation, Lion Grove Garden, Master of the Nets Garden, Lingering Garden, Couple’s Retreat Garden, and the Humble Administrator’s Garden. While

at the Master of Nets Garden, for example, we saw a chariot-style vehicle’on display which was used to carry someone important via shoulders, and our local tour guide called this “the BMW of ancient China”. This particular garden was built over 800 years ago by a wealthy son for his father and it’s one of several classical Suzhou gardens recognized as a World Heritage Site.

Local student to perform with all-star jazz band

By Sue Dickens

News – Campbellford – Peter Wowk, 17, a Grade 11 student at Campbellford District High School (CDHS), is hitting all the right notes these days.

He has been selected to join the National Conn-Selmer Centerstage All-Star Jazz Band – a 20-piece group of the top musicians from across Canada.

“I know that the level of this band is absolutely insane,” Wowk told the Trent Hills Independent after hearing the news in an email.

“I feel very privileged to be one of two alto saxophones in the band.”

Wowk went through a rigorous audition process and will fly out to British Columbia on May 11 to rehearse and perform for a

solid week at the Nationals.

The Musicfest Canada Nationals is one of the largest music festivals in the world, bringing together the best school groups from across the country to perform in a different Canadian city each year.

School groups must earn the right to perform at the Nationals by winning a gold award and being recommended by adjudicators at regional festivals.

Wowk’s group will be recording a CD while in Vancouver.

He earned this honour after a lot of hard work and practice.

“I’ve been taking violin lessons since I was five. I’ve been playing the saxophone since Grade 9,” he commented. He also plays the viola and piano.

Wowk is a member of the senior jazz band at CDHS but admits his first choice is classical music. However, he does enjoy

the improvising that is integral to playing jazz.

“I’m just really looking forward to playing with people out there that are at such a high level, essentially professionals, playing at the professional level. Being surrounded by them and being able to play and better myself as a musician at the same time, I think that’s what’s most important to me,” he added.

Wowk joins a prestigious group of musicians from CDHS who have earned this honour.

“We’ve had several students be in the national all-star group and a few others who have gone off to professional music careers, but I think Peter is the most musically accomplished at this stage of his musical career,” said CDHS music teacher Dave Noble.

He would like to see his love of music

take him on a career path that would include playing for an orchestra one day.

“I want to go to university for the music performance program . . . and specify the violin,” he said.

Wowk is considering applying to the University of Toronto or McGill or Wilfrid Laurier University.

Noble commented on Wowk’s success.

“This is a huge accomplishment these days. You pretty much have to be pro to win this. This is a tremendous honour, and well deserved,” he said.

“Peter is the most outstanding musician we’ve ever had in my time at the school.”

Noble has been teaching at CDHS for 20 years, and in that time CDHS groups have won 25 national gold awards, performed with Jeff Healey and the Downchild Blues Band, and were invited guests of Canada’s Governor General in Ottawa.

Condolence book for Jim Flaherty

News - Peterborough – A condolence book to honour the late Jim Flaherty will be at the constituency office of Peterborough MP Dean Del Mastro for the general public to sign.

The book will be at the constituency office until the House of Parliament resumes its session on April 28.

Mr. Flaherty, the Government of Canada’s thirty-seventh finance minister and the

MP for Whitby-Oshawa since 2006, died suddenly of a heart attack on April 10. A state funeral was held April 16 in Toronto; it was the thirty-fourth state funeral to be held in Canada since 1868, the seventh to pay tribute to a cabinet minister.

“Jim was a great friend and colleague, a dedicated family man, and an extraordinary Minister of Finance who sacrificed an enormous amount in his

years of service to Canada and to Canadians,” Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in announcing the state funeral. “He will be remembered with great affection and respect. Jim and his family remain in our thoughts and our prayers at this difficult time.”

MP Del Mastro’s constituency office is located at 1600 Lansdowne Street West, Unit 3.

Figurative artist returns to Warkworth

By Sue Dickens

News – Warkworth – Returning to Warkworth, Toronto artist Brian Smith will be hosting a teaching workshop called “Portraiture – Realism to Abstraction”.

This will be his fourth visit to Warkworth in less than two years.

He juried the Maple Syrup Festival in 2013, and followed up with two Figurative Abstraction workshops in May and October.

Both workshops were sold out with 20 artists participating in each event.

The workshop is being promoted by the Spirit of the Hills Northumberland Arts Association.

“With only two spots left, the workshop fills up quickly and is sure to be another highlight of the art year for

Spirit of the Hills members,” said Diane Arsenault, president of the Spirit of the Hills.

She provided an outline for the course.

“This exciting and in-depth two-day portraiture course will begin with lessons aimed at developing one’s ability to capture a likeness of any model.

Starting from an understanding of facial landmarks and proportions, you will be challenged to look for and isolate the unique features that identify each of us.

“On day two we will play visual games that will help you think more abstractly about the face and facilitate deconstruction of the image. I believe that understanding the structure of the face and how to draw it is essential to being able to deconstruct it and abstract it.”

Works by a variety of artists will be discussed throughout the course.

Smith has taught classes and workshops on life drawing, portraiture and figurative abstraction for more than 20 years. He has been on the faculty of the Ontario College of Art and Design, The Koffler Centre for the Arts, Haliburton School of The Arts, Curry’s Art School, Visual Arts Mississauga and Neilson Park Creative Centre and conducts Master Classes in his own studio.

The Portraiture Workshop takes place on Saturday and Sunday, April 26 and 27 from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. at the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts.

Bringing back the bees - Native pollinators

By Diane Sherman

News - Ivanhoe - Honey bees are a unique species unto themselves, the only bee to swarm and colonize.

There are over 400 other species of bees in Ontario, like squash bees, so friendly they don’t sting and males can be found sleeping in wilted squash flowers. “Most bees are solitary,� says pollination biologist Susan Chan, manager of the Native Pollinators Program for Farms at Work, a non-profit stewardship group working with regional farmers and landowners on habitat plantings for pollinators.

She says honey bees are the only ones to swarm and the only ones to produce a year’s worth of honey. Other species nest in the ground, in wood, hay piles, old plant stems, and, not all bees like the same plants. “Over the past 30 years a steady decline in bees worldwide has been well documented.� Chan said. “It was not really noticed until endocrinologists looked back in museum records and found a number of species disappearing.� The destruction of natural habitats and pesticides tend to be the primary causes.

Chan spoke before a full house in Ivanhoe, April 3, with nearly 150 people from Belleville to Gilmour, Marmora to Tweed and places beyond and between. All those gathered at the Huntington Veteran’s Hall were interested in bringing back the bees.

The presentation was co-hosted by the Hastings Stewardship Council and the Highlands of Hastings Women’s Institute.

The audience consisted of cattle and crop farmers, woodlot owners, commercial and back yard gardeners. Their questions showed a wide range of interest and concern.

Creating habitat for all species of bees is simpler than one may think Chan explained. “Bees don’t travel very far. Honey bees may forage up to three kilometers from their nest, bumble bees about one kilometer, solitary bees have a radius of 100 to 500 meters, so you can have a great impact on their survival with a small concentration of work.�

She encourages gardeners and farmers to leave bare ground as ground nesters will return to where they came from. “Their nests are only five to six inches underground, so tilling that area should be shallow or spared.�

Leaving fence lines and waste spaces, she says, is important. “These can be improved by adding choke cherries and crabapple to hedgerows, and plant a variety of flowering plants which will bloom at different times throughout the year.�

Each species of bee has a different length of tongue, so they need a choice of flower species she explained.

Some plants she encourages are borage, ver-

bena, mullein, sweet clover, asters, lambs ear, day lily, elderberry, honey locust and plants with pithy stems, like sumac, which should be left in natural growing areas. “A patch of lavender is good, but,� she stipulates, “plant in clusters and concentrated. As I said, bees don’t go far from home. “Vegetable gardens are wonderful for both us and the bees,� she noted. “Leaving your broccoli and parsley to go to flower when you are finished is good for a particular species, and rather than cutting and tossing out raspberry canes, bundle them and let the bees make their homes there.�

They are all highly toxic to bees and aquatic invertebrates, and vary in toxicity to fish, birds, small mammals and humans.�
