Ken leaves his wife of 39 years, Christina, his daughters Kendra (Ryan), Andrea (Brad), granddaughters Addyson, Lilianna and Chloe, mother-in-law Betty Andrews, siblings Ron (Susan), Dave, Michael, Bob (Laurie), Mary Ellen (Bob Sherwin) and Pat (Donna), sisters-in-law Lorraine Radford (Paul), Wylanne Curry (Denton), brother-in-law Rod Andrews (Shirley) and all of their families and Cindy Wilford.

News - Havelock - Les Morris won’t let weakened legs and his walker get in the way of Community Care Peterborough’s fifth annual Kms for Care fundraiser at Trent University. The 83-year-old HavelockBelmont-Methuen resident and retired school principal is a member of the Community Care Peterborough Board of Directors and he’s been practising steadily for the April 26 event’s one-kilometre fun walk/run watching his pledge goal expand from $500 to $1,200 thanks to the support of well-wishers. “I’ve been practising every

day and hope on that day that I’ll be able to make it all the way,” Morris said with a chuckle. The chuckle meant “you bet I will.” “It’s a huge fundraiser and people have been very generous,” the genial volunteer said. “I wasn’t able to volunteer much in being out on the course handing out water because of my locomotion problems so I asked: ‘How can I help?’ I thought maybe I can do the one kilometre so I phoned to see if I could do it with my walker and they said yes so off we went.” The one-kilometre event is popular with families and in-

cludes plenty of strollers with toddlers and infants. The event also includes ten-kilometre and five-kilometre events with professional chip timing. There’s also a five-kilometre team challenge and a five-kilometre walk. Morris started with an initial goal of $500 then found himself increasing that figure to $700 then $900 before settling on a final total of $1,200. He’s reached 90 per cent of his final goal. By participating he says he is helping both Community Care and himself. “The walking is helping me Havelock-Belmont-Methuen resident Les Morris will be using his walker because I need to strengthen; I during the Community Care Peterborough Kms for Care fundraiser but he have congenital stenosis and ar- won’t let that stop him from completing the one-kilometre fun run/walk.

thritis. It’s not getting better with age, unfortunately, but I’m able to do it. This is an incentive for me because the first day I practised I only made it 100 yards but I’m having fun with it.” Morris says it is also important for board members to be actively involved. “It’s sort of an example you can set for people. As a board member I think you need to be very active in the group. You are leaders and you have to show leadership. I can’t run five, I can’t run ten but I can walk one.” By taking part Morris says

News - Norwood - The Asphodel-Norwood Fire Department had a busy year and is on course for an equally busy 2015, says Fire Chief Daryl Payne. Chief Payne presented council with a year-end report along with a first quarter glimpse into 2015. “The same trend is happening this year. It’s going to be another busy year,” he said. The department responded to 224 calls in 2014, a 15 per cent jump over 2013, with the largest number of calls dealing with medical issues–40 of those were chest pains or suspected heart attack with another 23 listed in the medical-resuscitator category. There were another six calls where vital signs were absent. “I know medical calls are an issue and we are dealing with that,” Chief Payne said. Motor vehicle collisions are also an issue, he added.

The department responded to 22 vehicle collisions and two vehicle extrications. There were four structure fires in 2014 which Chief Payne said was “about equal” to last year’s total. The quarterly reports are something now mandated by the Fire Marshal’s office which in the past had requested a yearly report. “This makes things easier as things go on,” Chief Payne said. “I think for information it will be great for you guys.” The department has responded to ten motor vehicle collisions alone in the first quarter of 2015 and has already matched the entire number of structure fires it attended in 2014. “Vehicle collisions in the township is still a concern because of the number,” said Chief Payne. Firefighters had attended five vehicle collisions up to the completion of the quarterly report.

St. Mary’s school students and staff rehearse for spring musical Entertainment - Campbellford More than 60 staff and students from St. Mary’s Catholic Elementary School have been busy rehearsing for their annual spring show High School Musical Jr. They have been working hard on the production since just before Christmas in preparation for the performance. “This high energy show really lets our students highlight their singing, dancing and acting talents,� said Virginia Marini, principal at St. Mary’s. “It’s a fast-paced show that will keep audience toes tapping to the music,� she added with enthusiasm. This Disney production is available to schools and is a story about how Troy, Gabriella, and the students of East High must deal with issues of first love, friends, and family while balancing their classes and extra-curricular activities. “Danceable songs� include We’re All in This Together, Get’cha Head in the Game and Bop to the Top. The scene is set on the first day after winter break. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians

and Skater Dudes find their cliques, recount their vacations, and look forward to the new year. Troy is the basketball team captain and resident jock and he discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. They cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical, led by Ms. Darbus. And although many students resent the threat posed to the “status quo,� Troy and Gabriella’s alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well. There will be four performances, two on Wednesday, April 29, at 1 and again at 7 p.m. and two on Thursday, April 30, again at 1 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $5. “The money will go back

participating in the interview process. “This is very collaborative, transparent and I think it’s important he has a say because he has given a lot to this community so I am happy to have him as a partner,â€? Raine noted. Board member David Pollack raised the topic of considering enhancing (surgery) procedures while interviewing candidates. In response Raine said, “There’s a balance and it’s interesting ‌ We know we can do more because a few years ago we did do different things like valve surgery ‌ we may need some investment in terms of instruments but I think for

the community there are more procedures we can do other than hernia ‌ and endoscopies (etc.). Having said that, the challenge for us is the resources in terms of post-operative care.â€? She added, “You’ve heard the physicians talk about sometimes we get patients on the oor that require more skills and we don’t have the resources so we have to be careful what we do. ‌ Big surgeries require big resources so there’s still some challenges but I think there is some room to grow and offer more surgical services to the community.â€? Board member Gord Park then raised the topic of the board’s role in deciding what surgical services can be offered

in the context of the interviews now being done. “I think this raises a much larger issue. I would have thought it’s a board level decision as to what the hospital provides. I don’t think we’ve ever had a discussion.� CEO and President Brad Hilker pointed out that the board has had discussions as part of the hospital’s strategic, operating and capital planning. Continuing with his comments Park asked, “What surgical services do we offer? I’ve never really ever been able to get a grasp of services we offer. We have some idea of volumes but what exactly are the services.� Board Chair Tim Chennette said, “I don’t think our nursing complement is going to change that much so I don’t think the surgery we are going to be able to do will either. I don’t think we can offer more than we can afford to do.� According to the hospital’s website, last year more than 2,000 surgical procedures were performed. Raine pointed out that budget considerations are part of the recruitment process but added, “You’re looking for a surgeon that wants to run a viable and sustainable service but you also have 12 applicants, nine that have just graduated and have spent tons of money on their education acquiring these skills. “We went into the interviews being honest not wanting that budgetary affect because we don’t have a lot of money,� she said. “We have this conversation with candidates. We want them to know they can’t come here and do open heart surgery. So we are very honest.�

Heartfelt thanks for local Community Care volunteers

News - Havelock - It was a special celebration that united 100 guests from Havelock-Belmont-Methuen and Asphodel-Norwood and hailed the volunteer spirit that thrives in two local Community Care offices. For the first time ever, the two offices held a joint appreciation luncheon at the Campbellford Curling Club to thank the volunteers who help deliver Community Care programs and services to clients across the district. The luncheon coincided with National Volunteer Week. “Volunteers are the heart of the community, especially so in Norwood and Havelock,” said Community Care board member Les Morris, also a longtime volunteer in HBM. The organization is in place to support you and help you do your jobs, Morris said. In Norwood, 47 volunteers provided 4,715 “units of service” to 171 clients over the past year while the 78 volunteers in Havelock assisted 275 clients and provided 9,482 units of service. Across Community Care Peterborough’s eight offices 910 volunteers contributed 98,078 hours of service to 5,571 clients. The past year also marked the 50th anniversary of Meals on Wheels. Last year alone 42,283 meals were served to Community Care clients. “It’s hard to put a value on what you do [because it’s priceless],” said Morris.

Community Care volunteers, he said, are the people closest to the organization’s clients and are able to catch small problems before they develop into something larger and that helps people remain independent and in their homes. “What you are doing for your community is extremely important,” he said. HBM Mayor Ron Gerow thanked the volunteers on behalf of all of the communities they serve. “Without you it wouldn’t work,” Mayor Gerow said. In his travels around the county, Gerow says he has never been more aware of how crucial volunteers are to the various organizations and communities they serve. “Volunteers are a very cherished commodity,” he said. But he also noted that volunteers absorb a great deal of stress as well because of the increasing demands on the volunteer sector. Gerow is a regular participant in Mayors for Meals and spent half a day helping volunteers in HBM deliver meals. “It was a

I will continue to advocate on the part of Community Care.” “When volunteers work for and help out clients I see the heart that goes into your efforts,” added Havelock Community Care co-ordinator Tammy Ross. “Our volunteers are critically and centrally important to the communities and the people they serve,” added Norwood office supervisor Kelly Small.

Wyley asks: Does “hard-working� equal surviving?

me a “hard-working taxpayer� I will consider coming to your house in the middle of the night and letting all of the air out of your truck’s tires! Your letter-brochure is essentially asking me to verify if you are lying about stuff that appeals to me. No! You are not! What would appeal to me is you not lying, not currying favour with people who don’t need more tax help, not sucking up to every little group of advocates you feel is likely to vote for

sustaining and exceptionally selfish motives. I am ashamed to admit that I have voted for your sorry lot several times recently. Fool me once - call me dumb. Fool me twice - call me dumber! But you will never fool me again until you get a leader without a mental disorder. There is probably a chapter in a psychology book somewhere which describes the descent into majority reelection madness. It’s worse than fiddling while Canada burns; it’s worse than lying to your own mother. It’s akin to behaving like Dr. Frankenstein as people abandon ship, while the wheels fall off the gurney and a monster clumps off into the night. Barring your leader and his unholy pollution and damage to roads. ATVs advisors being institutionalized before are not designed for use on roads and therefore safety is an issue. May I remind the mayor and councillors that they are elected by the residents and taxpayers of Trent Hills and should not be swayed by the demands of an outside group whose only interest is for themselves.

the fall election, I look forward to some or all of the following factoids, (made-up facts), being foisted on us hardworking taxpayers: • Former Senator Mike Duffy is an illegitimate son of Pierre Elliot Trudeau. • Tamils fought valiantly with the British at Queenston Heights. • Senators appointed in the last decade suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. • War creates veterans we promise to cherish and honour. • The Book of Hockey is required reading. • Hard-working taxpayers have better sex.

They also provide wildlife habitat for birds and other animals. “Our Scoutrees program is needed more than ever, with the impact of global warming, cities expanding their housing and commercial developments,� she notes. “We’re not just ‘growing the next generation of citizens,’ we’re also growing the next generation of trees and assisting our brother and sister Scouts in developing countries to help themselves,� Scouts Canada says. “When you participate in Scoutrees one tree at a time can provide so much for Canada and people in other countries.� Since 1972, Scouts have planted over 80 million trees across Canada. “Not only are you supporting an excellent program that helps teach youth respect for nature and the importance of stopping climate change, your donation will plant trees to offset carbon,� adds Stevenson. If you want to make a pledge and aren’t at home when a 1st Hastings Scout calls Stevenson says residents can still make a donation by calling her at 705-696-2296 or through email at <hastingsscouting@gmail.com>. “We would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for their generous support this year and in previous years.�

OPINION

Half a Titanic

Editorial - The first thing to do, if you want to cut the number of refugees from Africa and the Middle East dying while trying to cross the Mediterranean, is to drop leaflets all along the Libyan coast teaching them about ship stability. Don’t all rush to one side when you spot a ship that save you, the pamGwynne Dyer might phlets will say, because your boat will capsize and you will drown. That’s what happened last weekend off the Libyan coast, where a boat filled with at least 700 refugees overturned when the people aboard spotted a Portuguese freighter and tried to attract its attention. (One survivor says there were 950 people aboard, including those locked below decks.) At least 650 people died–half a Titanic’s worth of casualties–although the boat in question was only 20 metres (70 feet) long. Only 28 people were saved. Exactly the same thing happened with another boat crammed with refugees the previous week, and another 400 people drowned. Counting another 300+ people who drowned in another disaster in February, the death toll right now, before the peak summer season for refugee crossings, is around 1,500. That’s a full Titanic. It’s not getting quite as many headlines, though. So the second thing to do is to lock the European Union’s foreign ministers into a room and refuse to let them have caviar and champagne until they agree to do something about the silent massacre in the Mediterranean. Something quite effective was being done until late last year, but they deliberately stopped it. Until late last year the Italian navy (praise be upon it) was running an operation called Mare Nostrum that went all the way to the edge of Libya’s territorial waters to pluck refugees from the sea. The operation cost 9.5 million euros a month ($10.3 million), but it rescued 100,000 people from leaking boats or the open sea. More than half of the 170,000 refugees who landed in Italy had cause to thank the Italian navy, and only one in a hundred died. The number of refugees arriving in Italy each month is around the same this year, maybe a little higher, but ten times as many people are dying on the way. That is because the European Union’s governments, rather than sharing the cost of the Mare Nostrum project, asked Italy to shut it down and substituted their own “Triton” operation. Except that “Triton” is in no way an adequate substitute. It only gets a third of the funding Mare

Nostrum had, and it is supposed to operate only in Italy’s coastal waters, not farther out where most of the refugee boats capsize or founder. Even this year, with the Italian navy theoretically excused from duty, it has saved twice as many people as the pathetic “Triton” operation. Which, by the way, was intended to be pathetic. The argument the European governments made was that if you didn’t give the refugees the hope that they would be saved by the Italian navy, fewer of them would come. Right, so if you’re fleeing the civil war in Syria or the ghastly dictatorship in Eritrea, and you learn that the danger of dying on a Mediterranean crossing has gone up from one per cent to ten per cent, you’re going to decide to stay in war-torn Libya instead? Were the European governments lying to themselves, or just to everybody else? The latter, almost certainly. They were under pressure at home to stop the flow of migrants, they didn’t want to share the burden of saving them with the admirable Italians, but they couldn’t just say, “Let them drown.” So they came up with that preposterous argument about deterring the migrants by making the crossing more dangerous, and shut Mare Nostrum down. “In many countries in Europe at the moment,” said Laurens Jolles, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) representative in Italy, “the (political) dialogue and the rhetoric is quite extreme and very irresponsible. It’s a fear of foreigners …, but it is being exploited for populist or political reasons, especially in election periods.” Too true. Take, for example, Katie Hopkins, columnist for The Sun, a down-market right-wing British red-top (tabloid newspaper) owned by the estimable Rupert Murdoch. Last Friday, in an article headlined “Rescue boats? I’d use gunships to stop migrants,” she wrote: “NO, I don’t care. Show me pictures of coffins, show me bodies floating in water, play violins and show me skinny people looking sad. I still don’t care.” “Make no mistake, these migrants are like cockroaches. They might look a bit ‘Bob Geldof’s Ethiopia circa 1984,’ but they are built to survive a nuclear bomb. They are survivors … It’s time to get Australian. Bring on the gunships, force migrants back to their shores and burn the boats.” Saying that sort of thing is how she earns her living, but it also expresses the true sentiments of a politically significant minority not only in Britain but in most countries throughout the European Union. When the UNHCR appealed to the EU to resettle 130,000 Syrian refugees, Germany said it would take 30,000, Sweden (with a tenth of Germany’s population) took 2,700–and the other 26 EU states took only 5,438 between them. So the drownings will continue.

What’s Harper’s problem with First Nations? Or women? By Stephen Petrick

Editorial - It’s an issue that’s sparked rallies, marches and candlelight vigils. It’s garnered incredible attention in the media and has caught the eye of human rights groups from around the world. Now, even the Royal Canadian Mounted Police seem to be making a sincere effort to address it, even though it’s a sad and complicated story that will surely raise racial tension and highlight gender inequality in our beloved but imperfect country. So why then does Prime Minister Stephen Harper seem so unenthusiastic about addressing the disproportionate number of murdered and missing Aboriginal women in Canada? According to a 2013 RCMP report, there have been more than 1,000 unresolved cases of missing or murdered Aboriginal women in Canada over the last 30 or so years. Aboriginal women make up about four per cent of Canada’s female population, but represent about 16 per of Canada’s female homicides. These are real women, who felt real pain and who have real families still reeling from their loss. And to deny this issue has something to do with racism is just silly, given Canada’s long history of tension with First Nations communities. If the mayor of Winnipeg can stand up and admit his city has to fix a race problem–as he did following the release of a controversial Macleans article in January–why can’t Harper do essentially the same? But if Harper and his fellow Conservatives care about murdered or missing Aboriginal women, they’re doing a horrible job of expressing it. There have been repeated calls from First Nations, women’s and human rights groups for Canada to launch a national public inquiry on the issue, but Harper has never seemed keen to the idea.
When questioned on the topic during his tour of the north last August, Harper said no such an inquiry is necessary, because he feels it’s not a “sociological phenomenon” but rather a collection of crimes.
 “The RCMP has said itself in its study, the vast majority of these cases are addressed, and they’re solved through police investigations. We’ll leave it in their hands,” he was quoted as saying to several media outlets.
In a Christmas-season interview with the CBC’s Peter Mansbridge he gave another less-than-glaring endorsement of the idea. “It isn’t really high on our radar, to be honest,” he said. “Our ministers will continue to dialogue those who are concerned about this. They’re studying it.”

Harper went on to say that the government’s addressing the issue by trying to pass laws that are tougher on crime; a point he reiterated when asked about the issue during Question Period in the House of Commons recently.
It’s not wrong of the Prime Minister to suggest these are criminal acts, and, personally, I see some merit in one of the arguments he made in the Mansbridge interview, which is that sometimes these types of inquiries cost millions of dollars, only to provide answers we already know. But what Harper doesn’t understand is that people concerned about this issue are really just looking for him to say, “Yes.” As Canada’s leader they want him to say, “Yes, this is a problem. Yes, I care and the government will do everything possible to stop it.” The “ah, it isn’t really high on our radar” answer is as good as a punch in the stomach to someone already in pain. If Harper has a PR team, it’s either horrible or being completely ignored.
 Unfortunately, First Nations people have never been at the top of the Conservatives’ list; that’s something that became obvious to me when I moved to this area in 2008 and was given the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory beat for the local daily paper. That year, I witnessed the federal government stop funding First Nations Technical Institute to the point it almost died. (The province came up with funding at the last moment to save the college). And I watched negotiations stall on the return of the Culbertson Tract to Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte. Although the federal government acknowledges the section of land, which now covers part of Deseronto, was taken illegally decades ago, it’s in no rush to return it.
Unfortunately, with the population numbers as they are, it’s always been difficult for First Nations groups to get the federal government to listen to them. Data from the National Household Survey in 2011, shows that just 4.3 per cent of Canadians identified themselves as Aboriginal. The most heartless Conservative strategist knows that the party can still win an election by ignoring 4.3 per cent of the population.
But for the sake of human dignity, hopefully the Conservatives will realize that the case of murdered and missing Aboriginal women isn’t just an Aboriginal issue; it’s also a women’s issue. And women make up about half of the voting population.
Then again, women haven’t always been high on Harper’s list either. Just ask Belinda Stronach or Eve Adams.

Parents and children take a trip along “The Road to Kindergarten” By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford Children and their parents took a trip along “The Road to Kindergarten,” a free one-stop event fun and information show for those youngsters who are getting ready to start school. Organized by the Northumberland Literacy Committee, representatives from the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit were there along with those from the Northum-

who was there with his son Massey, age three. He drove to Campbellford from Cobourg because he missed the event there. “The Road to Kindergarten” is held annually in many different locations throughout Northumberland County. Rachel Watson was there with her three-year-old daughter Bridgette (almost four) and they too wanted to see the school bus and experience it for the first time. “I wanted Bridgette to learn about Kindergarten and she loves it and can’t wait for school,” said her mom. Inside the centre there were eight different displays with representatives from the various organizations offering information to parents. Infant and Child Development Worker Andrea Nelson, with the Northumberland Child Development Centre out of Port Hope,

was there with literature to help children succeed. She had information about “The Keys to Kindergarten” summer program which offers skills for success at school as well as information about child development screening tests. Nelson is also co-ordinator of the Northumberland Bridges Program which offers activities such as cooking classes, peer support groups in Brighton, Campbellford, Cobourg and Port Hope, as well as parent education and more. Karen Taylor, a public health nurse with the HKPR District Health Unit had a display set up with literature about being sun safe and safe in the water.

Bev Nicholas of Campbellford was with her daughter Peyton, age three and a-half. Bev is a mom and a Kindergarten teacher at Hillcrest Public School. “I think for the parents today this is a good way for them to get to know

what resources are available and the agencies that can help them,” she commented. “For the kids I think it’s great for them to come and meet different people who they might see in the schools and they get to see different hands-on activities and they see a lot of that in Kindergarten,” she added. All the professionals at the event were there to talk about children’s early development and school readiness. An activity table was set up for the youngsters to enjoy too.

HBM firefighters active in 2014

By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - Unsurprisingly, medical calls make up more than half of the incidents members of the HavelockBelmont-Methuen Fire and Emergency Service answered in 2014. Although down slightly from the previous two years, medical incidents still represented 56.5 per cent of the department’s calls in 2014 totalling 191, the lowest figure since 2011 when firefighters responded to 165 medical calls across the township. Last year 218 of the department’s 336 calls were medical-related. “It was a busy year but there was not a lot of action really,� Fire Chief Ray Haines told council during his presentation of the department’s annual report. The 28-strong department and its stations in Havelock and Cordova Mines dealt with 28 fires in 2014 including five structure fires, five vehicle fires and four grass fires; that’s double

the number the department was called to in 2013 and the highest total over the past four years. Motor vehicle collisions (21) remain pretty constant at 6.21 per cent of the calls. There was a dramatic drop in the number of “hydro assist/arcing� calls this past year with the fire department dealing with just three; in 2013 there were 17 calls and in 2011 there were 28, a reflection of the turbulent weather that visited the township those two years. Call volumes remained steady across the 12 months with July being the busiest month of the year with 33 incidents; June, with 24, had the lowest total. In the previous three years the month-by-month totals showed substantial fluctuation. HBM participates in automatic and mutual aid agreements with neighbouring municipalities and was called out 21 times to Trent Hills, four times to Douro-Dummer and three times to Marmora and Lake. There is

also an agreement in place with North Kawartha which was triggered four times in 2014 as well as one with Asphodel-Norwood. Highlights of the year included the installation of the department’s own air filling station at the Havelock Fire Hall which now allows firefighters to fill their own air bottles for Self Contained Breathing Apparatuses (SCBAs) during emergencies and training. In the past, HBM would purchase its air from the Asphodel-Norwood Fire Department. The $6,000 project was paid for completely through the fire department’s Nevada fund. The department also installed an industrial washer so firefighters can clean their own protective equipment. Chief Haines says the department continues to maintain its Superior Tanker Shuttle Accreditation, passing the test as recently as November, 2013, and “exceeding the minimum water

flow required for residential protection.� The accreditation allows property owners to apply for lower insurance rates through their insurance brokers for residential and cottage coverage. Four members of the department were recertified in the “Train the Trainer Ice Rescue� program.

This gives the emergency service the ability to train other personnel in-house at a technician level, says Chief Haines. The department will undertake a recruitment drive in 2015 to fill some vacant positions. They are also planning to install steel siding at the Havelock Fire Station to protect the existing plywood walls of the

expanded and renovated training room. “We are in the planning stages of renovating Station Two in Cordova to accommodate new, larger apparatus,� Chief Haines added. There’s also a need to replace the 2004 Chevrolet 2500 four by four, medical-forestry rescue vehicle at the Havelock Station.

Council News A Look Inside Our April 2015 Newsletter

Councillors compete in Emergency Preparedness Week cooking contest In an event sponsored by the Canadian Red Cross and in preparation for the upcoming Emergency Preparedness Week, Northumberland County councillors tested their “gourmet” cooking skills using only the nonperishable food recommend for a 72-hour emergency survival kit. County Warden Mark Coombs judged the meals prepared by each of the three teams, based on both taste and presentation. This fun event was intended to remind residents about the importance of having a 72-hour emergency kit with basic supplies ready in the event of an emergency.

Doreen Clark (holding the certificate) was honoured for her work over the years in looking after Community Care’s New To You shop and its storefront window. She was applauded during the joint Community Care Norwood and Community Care Havelock volunteer appreciation luncheon.

You store led to the decision which will change the storefront landscape in the village until a new tenant is found. It will also mean that visitors will no longer see the creative work of Doreen Clark, affectionately known as the “Window Lady,” who brightened the streetscape with her lively displays and helped oversee the used clothing store. Doreen and the office volunteers were singled out for special honours by Norwood support assistant Kelly Small during Community Care’s volunteer appreciation luncheon. Doreen, Small said, “always made sure the window was dressed in fine style according to their season or the holiday and brightened up County Road 45. “I know she is very sad as we all are to see the change but Doreen remains determined to serve the people in Norwood with other volunteer opportunities at the new site.” When she first talked to Doreen about the shift to Maple View, Small said she replied: “you can’t get rid of me.” That, Small noted, was never on the table and she’ll continue to be an “integral part of Community Care in our new home.” Small called the move to Maple View “an opportunity to build a synergistic relationship” with a facility that is home to many Community Care clients. But she acknowledged that it repre-

sents a “monumental change to the face of downtown Norwood and the Community Care volunteers that have supported this fundraiser for many years. “You helped to make New to You a special spot in the Norwood community.” Volunteers got to know the “regulars and the once-in-the-blue-mooners who were passing through the community. They also got to know the “dedicated shoppers who stopped in once a week or almost every day.” “I want you to know that you have made a significant stamp on the face and history [of the village],” said Small. “Your efforts have been greatly appreciated and will most certainly be missed but never forgotten.” Receiving appreciations and flowers were Doreen Clark, Anne Mitchell, Nancy Graham, Cathy Turner, Bonnie

Hastings raceway gets green makeover

News - Hastings - The Hastings raceway received a green makeover Saturday during a concerted shoreline cleanup and tree-planting project by a team of volunteers. A mission to clean up the man-made raceway which runs parallel to the Trent River on the north side of the Lock 18 swing bridge has long been talked about but never undertaken until now thanks to a $10,000 boost from a portion of the World Fishing Network’s 2012 Ultimate Fishing Town Canada $25,000 grand prize. A raceway cleanup initiative was one of four projects that received funding following a public process led by the Hastings Environmental Group which oversees and administers the $25,000. “It’s very exciting. Today is a very good day,” said Shannon Preston of the HEG as she helped distribute some of the 600 plants and seedlings that were planted in designated locations along the raceway. “It’s been a long time coming,” Danica Donald agreed. The project started with cutting out some of the soft Manitoba maples and clearing out some of the brush along the raceway using VanTill Tree Care out of Campbellford before embarking on Saturday’s mission that drew between 20 and 25 volunteers of all ages. With the planting done the key will be Mary Shortt Broker

maintenance and keeping a careful watch on garbage, Donald says, “especially in the spring because recycling blows around in the winter and gets hidden by snow.” The project, she says, will make the raceway a more healthful habitat for wildlife and spruce up one of the village’s idyllic locations. “It’s a gorgeous spot and in a community like Trent Hills we need to be working to improve our waterways because that’s our greatest asset.” “We want to encourage the wildlife to come and live here and help the bank’s stabilization so they don’t just fall back into the river.” Garbage blowing down shoreline is a major issue, Preston agreed.

“The garbage on the shoreline is disgusting,” she said. “The idea is to create a barrier of perennials and bushes so the garbage will hit the barrier and stop instead of going into the water. We want to stop that from happening.” Looking down from the “small bridge” Preston said you could see the soft maple trees that needed to be removed and empty spots that were ideal for planting. Not only do things become more “visually appealing but at the same time honey bees, butterflies and hummingbirds etc. that are in trouble can get their nourishment.” “I’m really happy with the project and happy to be part of it,” added Wendy Baggs who wore hip-waders and helped collect some of the stray debris which included a lot of cans and styrofoam.

New Norwood fire station needed, search for solution begins

News - Norwood - Asphodel-Norwood needs to replace the aging and substandard Norwood Fire Hall and the quest for a deďŹ nitive solution has begun. Fire Chief Daryl Payne has laid out a “preliminary explanationâ€? of some of the challenges the deteriorating facility poses for the department, both ďŹ nancially and structurally, and provided a survey of possible alternatives which include acquiring adjacent residential property and building a new station on the current Alma Street site which has served as a ďŹ re hall since 1963. Repairing the current building is not an option given the expensive nature of any renovation to a building that was not new when it was acquired 52 years ago and has undergone several additions and renovations since. Among other things it now has a deteriorating and leaking roof which has produced “lateral stressâ€? on the left wall of the second storey addition.

Repairs to the roof alone would be more than $100,000, Chief Payne said. “Each one of these additions was built to the building techniques of the time so our insulation and framing are starting to fail,â€? he said. “The building is starting to show its age.â€? Utility costs topped $10,500 in 2014 and it would cost at least $5,600 to convert to natural gas. Renovating the station is the “least efďŹ cientâ€? option, Chief Payne said, and one he wouldn’t support although its location in “roughly the centre of the townâ€? has strong merits. Many ďŹ reďŹ ghters have purchased homes near the station, Chief Payne noted, and the extension of Alma Street to County Road 42 and close proximity to County Road 45 and Highway 7 mean “quality access for apparatusâ€? and response. The current station’s central location near major facilities like schools, daycare and the nursing home and the surrounding residen-

tial neighbourhood are advantageous, he says. It’s also easy for the public to walk to. “Our most vulnerable residents are within easy access.â€? The cost of demolition and acquiring the adjacent property on top of the overall cost of a new station, and the need to relocate equipment during any rebuild, could weigh against using the site, Chief Payne added. Relocating to a new site within the village like the fairgrounds, where there are multiple possibilities if the Agricultural Society was agreeable, near the community centre or in the parking behind the municipal ofďŹ ce are possibilities along with a new station at the public works building on Highway 7. A new facility at the current site should be explored by council, Chief Payne added. “All have their merits and demerits if a new station was to be built,â€? he said stressing the preliminary nature of his report which outlined

CAO’s post vacant By Bill Freeman

TICO#50007364

News - Norwood - Asphodel-Norwood is once again without a CAO following the recent and unexplained departure of Joe van Koeverden. There is still no ofďŹ cial comment on the departure which leaves the municipality looking for its eighth chief administrative ofďŹ cer in the last 14 years. Mr. van Koeverden, the former CAO of the City of Dryden, took over the municipality’s top administrative post in April 2013 succeeding interim CAO Rob Browning who had been ďŹ lling a vacancy left by Valerie Pryzbilla. Then Mayor Doug Pearcy lauded van Koeverden’s business consulting and economic development background as welcome strengths to the county’s smallest municipality.

The new CAO was instrumental in organizing the township’s ďŹ rst-ever Shop Asphodel-Norwood trade show and helped form an economic development advisory committee which he chaired. He also produced the ďŹ rst Asphodel-Norwood community guide in several years and was overseeing the development of a short- and long-term strategic marketing plan for the township with the guidance of council and the Economic Development Committee. At the time of his appointment, Pearcy noted that van Koeverden had led the City of Dryden through a realignment of its municipal services to “match its ďŹ nancial limitationsâ€? and that that experience would help “guideâ€? Asphodel-Norwood’s ďŹ nances as it faced changes in

funding and tax revenues. Council has not discussed the vacancy in open session but Mayor Terry Low has said he would like council to sit down with the economic development advisory committee after the budget process has been completed. “It’s business as usual for the brochure and the rest of it,� Mayor Low said. “I don’t want to dismiss Asphodel-Norwood is without a CAO following anything but I think we need to work the departure of Joe van Koeverden who joined our way through it and how the the township as its top administrator in 2013. committee [works] with council.� The committee was in the process of planning a second Shop AsphodelNorwood event on May 16. The mayor could not provide a comment on van Koeverden’s departure but said that council is working on a plan as they move forward.

some pros and cons of various scenarios. All would be “much more costlyâ€? because a new station would be built to “post disaster format,â€? Chief Payne added. “FireďŹ ghters would wish to be part of [ďŹ nding an optimum solution]. My thought is to put together a committee of residents, senior staff and council to look at some of the options and go from there.â€? In the interim, he’d like to visit some new ďŹ re stations nearby to get “basic ideas to get a starting point and go from there.â€? The report, he noted, was “basically just ideas; there could be many more.â€? “This is a very preliminary lookthrough but we’ve got to plan for the future,â€? Mayor Terry Low agreed. “Do we spend money on old infrastructure that still remains old and in need of repair or do we do something different? I’m not saying what that different is at this time. I’d like to get community involvement.â€?

No serious injuries

www.bridgestreetdental.com

Amazingly there were only minor injuries following a two-vehicle accident early last Thursday afternoon on Highway 7 just east of the Indian River Reptile Zoo. Police shut down the highway between County Road 38 and the 3rd Line of Asphodel and re-routed traffic for a while. Police say a silver Buick travelling east crossed the centre median line and crashed into a westbound red Toyota which then left the road and came to rest on its roof in the highway’s north ditch. The Buick continued east before smashing into a guardrail. Peterborough OPP, Peterborough Paramedics and Asphodel-Norwood Fire and Rescue crew were at the scene. Emergency crews removed the driver and a passenger from the Toyota and transported them to Peterborough Regional Health centre with minor injuries. The driver of the Buick and a passenger were treated at the scene. Photo: Bill Freeman

There are so many more deserving. “The coaching has been and continued to be total enjoyment,â€? he said. “To work with so many ďŹ ne young men and women over the years who’ve become great role models for future generations and are now paying it forward themselves. I know a number of current players I’ve had the pleasure of working with will also follow in those footsteps.â€? Wrightly says he has lots of people to thank for their support over the years in-

cluding his wife Dale who worked beside him on executives and as part of team management and “continues to encourage me to try to pass on my love of the game to this day. “It was a huge joy to work so closely with Jordan and pass on the love of hockey, ball and football along with the desire to strive for excellence,� he said. His greatest role models by far are his parents Hazel and Bud whose contributions to the community are remarkable and who remain two of the biggest local minor sports fans in Asphodel-Norwood.

Sports - Norwood - The joy in watching young athletes grow into outstanding citizens is etched on Larry Wrightly’s face. The long-time softball and hockey coach, a former star athlete himself, is this year’s winner of the prestigious Norwood Minor Sports Honour Award and it was an emotional moment for a man who’s given so much back to the community. Wrightly was clearly humbled by the award. “It’s for the love of the game and the love of the sport; that always stays with you,â€? an emotional Wrightly said afterwards. “You give back and remember what it was like watching others [when you were younger].â€? “[Larry] has given back to his community pretty much every way, shape or form,â€? said NDMS executive Chris Leeper during the presentation. Along with coaching, Wrightly has been a team sponsor helping out ball and hockey teams as well as the resurgent Norwood District High School Knights football team. He’s also been a member of both minor softball and minor hockey executives so is familiar with the behind-the-scenes work needed to bring sport to youth. Wrightly savoured time coaching his son Jordan but has also spent many seasons behind the bench as a non-parent volunteer coach including a triumphant 2012-2013 season when he guided an impressive J.J. Stewart Midget Hornets squad to an OMHA championship. “I’ve watched kids grow up to be ďŹ ne citizens,â€? Wrightly said. “I have been blessed to have worked with many, many executive members in both hock-

Festival of Sacred Praise under way for 65th year By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - Dozens of area vocalists and musicians are currently in the spotlight as competition continues in the 65th Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise. The annual celebration of music and faith began Sunday afternoon at St. Paul’s United Church and continues until April 28, with additional performances at the Stirling Festival Theatre. “We’re off to a really good start,” Committee President Donna Russett said following youth vocal classes held Sunday afternoon. Participants in the opening classes, some younger than six, left adjudicator Bethany Horst with plenty of positive comments as well as valuable advice on how to improve their performances and further enjoy their talents. The day’s evening session, featuring choirs from Madoc and Stirling as well as participants from as far away as Harrowsmith, was followed by further vocal competition on Monday. String classes resume today (Thursday) with numerous solo and group performances scheduled from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. Friday band classes will be held at the Stirling Festival Theatre from 9 a.m. until noon. Competition resumes again Sunday afternoon at St. Paul’s, running through Monday and wrapping up Tuesday, April 28. Performers in all classes are provided with professional adjudications and, based on the quality of the performance, may be eligible to compete at the provincial level upon recommendation. The festival, held under the auspices of the Official Board of St. Paul’s United Church and the Stirling Festival Committee, has a long history of encouraging youth as well as adults to express their faith through music and the spoken word. Andrew Powell of Belleville, accompanied by Michael Faulkner on piano, bows following his performance in the Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise last weekend. This year marks the 65th anniversary of the Please see “Festival” on page B2 festival which attracts competitors from as far away as Harrowsmith.

Events - Belleville - The first weekend in May is fast approaching so mark your calendar. On Saturday, May 2, and Sunday, May 3, hundreds of cities all over the world will be celebrating Jane’s Walk 2015. Once again, Belleville will be part of this worldwide initiative. Now in its third year, Jane’s Walk Belleville will make it possible for people of all ages to explore the city’s rich history, to appreciate everything that makes this city great and to look for ways to make it better for everyone. You don’t have to sign up–just show up. It’s fun and it’s free. There are two exciting new walks: the first tours innovative urban gardens and the second gets you inside five magnificent churches. Also, for the first time ever, there’s a bike tour, which will be headed up by Belleville On Bikes (BoB). Both walks are wheelchair accessible and Mary Tiessen, an ASL interpreter, will be on hand for all three tours. Each tour lasts approximately one and a-half to two hours. Jane’s Walk is named after urban activist Jane Jacobs (1916–2006). This Canadian-American journalist was known for organizing grassroots efforts to protect existing neighbourhoods. Her 1961 book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, changed the way people look at their communities and how to make them stronger and healthier. This year, Jane’s Walk Belleville coincides with the unveiling of Belleville’s Transportation Master Plan. Among other things, the plan calls for a system of cycling paths for Belleville that will be constructed in

three phases over the next 20 years at a cost of approximately $48 million. In addition, Jane’s Walk 2015 once again underscores the importance of re-populating our city centre. It also provides a way to understand how we can maintain a vital community that offers walking, cycling and public transportation for everyone ages eight to eighty. Here are some specific details about the walks being offered as part of the event: “Jane Rides on the Wild Side,� Saturday, May 2, at 10 a.m. Meeting Place: Myer’s Pier on south Front Street Rob Jakes, Justin Jones and Tanya Hill of Belleville on Bikes will lead cyclists on an exploration of safe routes around the city and paths including the Bayshore Trail. The tour will begin with a refresher on bike safety and etiquette, and for those who have yet to give their bike a spring tune-up, a bike mechanic will be on hand. Leaders will discuss the positive impact that better access to safe cycling routes would have on our neighbourhoods and what we can do to improve the cycling experience throughout Belleville. “Jane Sows Some Seeds,� Sunday, May 3, at 10 a.m. Meeting Place: Corby Rose Garden on William Street. Local SPIN (Small Plot Intensive) farmers such as Max Valyear of Green Wheel Farms and Stephanie Bell will be introducing the concept of urban farming and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) with a tour.

gets a “D” for its federal criminal code animal cruelty laws which have not been significantly changed since they were written in 1892. There is, however, more recent detailed legislation at the provincial and territorial level. World Animal Protection produces a global index, which looks at a number of areas; rates animal protection laws on a scale of A to G. Countries at the top of the 50-country ratings include Switzerland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Austria. The index ranks countries on their “commitment to protect animals in their legislation, improve animal welfare and recognize animal sentience.” “To create a truly sustainable world, we must take care of animals, people and the planet,” the international organization says. “Positive, lasting change for animals can only be achieved if animal welfare is at the heart of the policies, legislation and behaviours of the people responsible for the lives of animals.” Comments on the petition are supportive and pointed. “We need better animal

cruelty laws. Abuse is epidemic,” wrote Colleen Woods of Dundas. “Abusers are criminals. They are threatening and taking lives. It needs a courageous judge to set precedent for the future protection of animals.” “To people that don’t have pets and don’t understand the bond that develops, they are not pets they are family members,” added Daniela Schulze of Mississauga. “For the non-human that committed this crime the stiffest of penalties is not stiff enough.” “I am sick to death of hearing about people getting away with atrocious crimes against defenseless animals,” said Shelley Murray of New Lowell. “Our justice system does not deal with these criminals severely enough. Time to make an example of the one that committed this crime.” “People who commit acts of abuse and terror upon animals will commit acts of abuse and terror on fellow human beings,” said Jenn Steeves of Hamilton. The petition is addressed to Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal, the Ontario Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and federal Justice Minister Peter MacKay.

News - Douro - Several thousand people have signed a petition demanding changes to Canada’s animal cruelty laws as a small legacy for Jake, a three-yearold chocolate brown Labrador retriever who was shamelessly and brutally shot execution-style two weekends ago. The online “Justice for Jake” petition at <www.change.org> follows in the wake of a short online effort by the Waldon family to find their dog after he went missing April 12 while they were doing some yard work on their property north of Norwood in Douro-Dummer Township. That night friends found Jake’s lifeless body in a ditch on the 11th Road of Douro-Dummer and near a gravel pit several kilometres from the Waldons’ home; Jake’s distinctive red collar had been removed and he’d been shot from close range in the back of the head. Police are continuing their investigation into a senseless killing that has cruelly affected the Waldon family and their young daughters who considered Jake as close to them as another sibling. Police urge anyone with information that could help them to call Crime Stoppers. The petition was started by Nicole Burley of Port Hope and calls for a reform of Canada’s antique animal cruelty laws; as of Monday, April 20, it had collected over 2,300 online signatures. According to the petition, Canada

News - Orillia - Citizens now have another way to report a minor crime. The OPP’s “Citizen Self Reporting” (CSR) is an easy to use Internet reporting tool that can be accessed from a computer or mobile device and sent directly to the OPP anywhere, anytime. The public is being reminded about the OPP’s online reporting system as an alternative to having an officer attend a scene for a minor incident. In a press release the OPP stated that “Citizen Self Reporting” has rolled out across the province and the OPP is proud to offer this simple and efficient new system as a means of reporting certain minor

incidents and crimes. In an effort to enhance our service delivery, this online reporting system will allow the public to report specific crimes such as lost property, stolen licence plates, theft from vehicles, driving complaints, and property damage without an officer having to be dispatched to the scene, provided there are no suspects, injuries or the incident is not an emergency. The use of this new system is completely optional. Police will still attend a call for service if desired. To learn more, and to access “Citizen Self Reporting” online, go to <opp.ca> or call the OPP toll-free number 1-888-3101122.

Wheelchair of Hope Foundation to hold inaugural gala By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - A delegation to council from Wheelchair of Hope Foundation was made by CEO and founder John Cairns and board member Mike Wilcox on April 20. “We are a new non-profit organization to raise awareness of physical challenges,” Cairns told council. The foundation delivers mobility devices at no cost to those who need it. This includes manual wheelchairs, power chairs, scooters and four-wheel walkers. “We transform lives by providing the dignity of mobility, hope and opportunity through freedom of independence,” he said. The organization collects donations

of gently used mobility devices and fixes them up to industry standards. “It helps sustain quality of life,” he added. An inaugural gala launch on Saturday, April 25, will be held at Occasions by the Bay. This will include a fashion show incorporating kids with various diversities paired with able-bodied models. The event also includes a dinner. Duncan Armstrong asked where people could contact the foundation. Cairns directed inquiries to their website at <www.wheelchairofhope.ca> and there is also a phone number at 613-9205347. There is a link on Facebook and information at the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce.

Karen Sharpe said a lot of people don’t need their equipment any more and could repurpose it. Doug Whitney congratulated the group, noting that he is one of the people needing assistance. He added that many people can’t afford a wheelchair and encouraged them to get this help. “Don’t give up,” he said. “Keep on going.” Cairns said mobility is not just getting from A to B but provides a quality of life, a sense of self and dignity and independence. It also relieves pressure on social assistance. Dave McCue asked where they store the equipment. Cairns said right now, that’s a problem and half of his garage is full. McCue said he could help them Mike Wilcox (l) and John Cairns introduced the Wheelchair of Hope Foundation to Quinte West council. with storage space. Photo: Kate Everson

Opening night gala at new Warkworth gallery goes Hollywood

Judy Kaufman, president of the Arts and Heritage Centre of Warkworth, and Clive Russell, creative director and co-founder of the group of dedicated volunteers that have worked hard for the past year to open the gallery, are spreading the word about their gala opening which is happening Saturday, May 16, at 6:30 p.m. Photo: Sue Dickens By Sue Dickens

News - Warkworth - Rolling out the red carpet for the gala opening of the new Arts and Heritage (Ah!) Centre will mark the culmination of a year of hard work by a group of dedicated volunteers whose vision is now a reality. “The gala will be a Hollywood-style red carpet event,” said Clive Russell, creative director and cofounder of the group. Ah! is located in Warkworth’s historic Memorial Community Hall leased to this non-profit group by the Municipality of Trent Hills. Led by local developer David Pollack, costume designer Delphine White,

textile artist Sheree Rasmussen and Russell they proposed that the building, which was going to be designated by the municipality as a storage facility after the historical society closed down, become a centre for art and history. Trent Hills’ council unanimously voted to allocate funds for renovations to make the hall more suitable as a gallery including a restored hardwood floor, track lighting and refinished walls. Over time a board of directors was assembled that includes local business and community leaders as well as artists. With charitable status pending they are moving forward with their program of

exhibitions and events for the inaugural season which begins with the gala. The Independent met recently with Russell and Judy Kaufman, president of the group, to talk about the evening and some of the shows. “We’re invited the community as well as dignitaries including the mayor [Hector Macmillan] and his wife [Sandy] to the gala,” noted Kaufman. “We will have two people interviewing with lights etc. for the red carpet night. They will interview a cross-section from the community including artists,” said Russell. Music, dance and a few surprises will be part of the gala celebration which “will open with a bang!” according to Russell. “The Campbellford high school jazz band will be playing and as well there will be a performance by Olivia Rapos and San Murata, on opening night,” he added. Rapos is a young jazz singer from Warkworth described as “a star in the making.” Murata is an artist from Grafton who is also an accomplished musician. The gallery season will officially begin the night of the gala as Ah! kicks off its first show with indigenous art and 1,000year history of art in this area from the early Iroquois village near Richardson Road to J.D. Kelly, The Conqueror Worm, local artist Paul Portelli and a popular event begun last year called Sunday Drive which features art installations. “We will promote excellence in the arts and in heritage awareness through a variety of shows and events that look at history through the eyes of artists and art through the eyes of the present,” Russell explained. Summer shows will focus on the work of three artists, Murata (mentioned previously), Lisa Johnson (teacher and artist), and Simon Schneiderman, a playwright, author, lawyer and artist. In early June the gallery will be part of Doors Open.

Concerts, community events and talks are planned in conjunction with the gallery shows. Delphine White will be putting on a show about film arts, hopefully in October as the season winds down.

Exhibitions include the art of farming, the art of youth, to name a few. The gallery will be open weekends from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The gala takes place Saturday, May 16, at 6:30 p.m. “We want it to be a celebration

and fun. That’s my mission,” said Kaufman. More information is available on the website at <www.ahcentre. ca> or email <info@ahcentre.ca> or check them out on Facebook at <https://www.facebook.com/ artsandheritagewarkworth>.

TRAVEL

Berlin’s intriguing, informative City Circle Tour

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - When I first arrived in Germany’s largest city, I was rather overwhelmed, but I felt much better about getting around after I took a hop-on and hop-off bus tour of Berlin. This proved to be the best way for me to get oriented and, at the same time, to see many of the city’s major points of interest. The City Circle Tour, <www.berlincitytours.com>, is about a two-and-a-half-hour trip, if you simply stay on the double-decker bus and listen to the information you’ll be given via the headphone that’s provided to you (in 13 languages). However, I’d recommend taking an entire day for this trip, or even two, for you’ll have the opportunity to hop off at various points of interest and then hop back on another bus and then continue to the next destination. In this way, you’ll get the information on the bus

as you approach a point of interest, then hop off the bus and visit the actual place before hopping back on a bus and going to the next place of interest; a bus departs every ten minutes between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. If some landmark is not important to you, then you can simply decide to stay seated on the bus and continue to the next destination. Since I was staying near Berlin’s Hauptbahnhof (main train station), I decided to begin and end my circle tour at this particular point. I simply boarded the bus here in the morning, and I returned here in the late afternoon. I disembarked at most of the 18 designated stops, for I found this to be a great opportunity for photo ops and further exploration. My first major stop was at Charlottenburg Palace (1695), the only surviving major royal palace in the city. This baroque-

Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate. A view of Berlin’s Charlottenburg Palace.

styled palace, with its meticulously landscaped gardens, was built as a summer residence for Sophie Charlotte, the first Queen of Prussia, and tours are available. The City Circle Tour itself will cost 20 Euros, or 24 Euros for two days, and you can simply combine this with a tour of this palace for another 9 Euros. I next travelled along popular Kurfuerstendamm Boulevard and stopped in to visit at KaDeWe (Kaufhaus des Westins), a legendary shoppers’ paradise where the entire sixth floor is dedicated to gourmet foods. While in this area, I noticed a bombed out church that has been left as a reminder of the horrors of war (the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church), and next to it is a modern, taller, beautiful church. The Cultural Forum (Kulturforum) is a main centre for arts and culture, and this was the next area of interest. Here I found several museums, including the New National Gallery, the Museum of Decorative Arts, the Staatsbibliothek Library, and the Philharmonic Hall. I also discovered a memorial near the Philharmonic Hall, which was dedicated to the many mentally ill and physically disabled who were killed by the Nazis (not contributing well led to death back then). Some were gassed near this spot (a mass murder). I then went to Potsdamer Platz, with its many new highrises and mammoth buildings including the huge Sony complex; this area used to be a

desolate, no-man’s land split by the Berlin Wall, but when the Wall came down, this area became a vibrant centre quickly, rising phoenixlike out of the ashes of the old border wasteland. I later visited Checkpoint Charlie, a border crossing between East and West Germany during the Berlin Wall era, and other reminders of this troubling time (1961-1989), including the Checkpoint Charlie Museum, Berlin Wall Museum, and East Side Gallery, a section of the Berlin Wall that has been painted by artists and turned into the largest open air gallery in the world.

I also hopped off the bus at Gendarmenmarkt, a neoclassical square with a beautiful Concert Hall and two large cathedrals (French and German). Both churches were built in the 18th century, and their domes were added later. My next exploration took place at Alexanderplatz, where I viewed the World Time Clock, the old Rathaus (Town Hall), the oldest church in Berlin (Nikolai Church) and the TV Tower (the city’s tallest structure). Not far from there, I stopped to view “Berlin Dom,” the largest Protestant Church in Germany, and to walk

on Friedrichstrasse with its many upscale shops, including the French store, Lafayette. The City Circle Tour also offers two combination tours in this area; you can add a tour of the popular DDR Museum, one of the most interactive museums in the world (to learn what everyday life was like in the GDR), or you can combine the bus tour with a one-hour boat cruise on Berlin’s Spree River. I hopped off at Berlin’s Jewish Museum and, later, the Holocaust Memorial, a field of 2,711 concrete blocks, resembling tomb-

stones, designed by New York architect Peter Eisenmann. This “Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe” is located very near Brandenburg Gate, which has become a symbol of Germany’s reunification, and the Reichstag Parliament building, seat of the German Bundestag since 1999. I certainly checked out these landmarks, too. I finally returned by bus to Berlin’s Hauptbahnhof, completing my circle tour, and ending an intriguing, informative exploration of this fascinating city. For more information <www.visitberlin.de>.

Lifestyles - Most of us are familiar with moss and lichen although we occasionally have difficulty distinguishing one from the other. For example, Reindeer Moss is actually lichen. In our area, casual observers will have seen the grey/green frilly lichen coating the bark of trees. We just call it lichen and are satisfied with our botanical expertise. Just wait until you hear some of the common names for these wee things: Freckled Pelt, Frog Pelt, Ragged Bear, Wax Paper, Rock Frog, Lungwort, and Rag Bag. Who says the plant boffins don’t have a sense of humour? Mind you, when you’re dealing with two organisms (fungi and algae) all mixed up together, it can leave you looking for comic relief. They have a symbiotic relationship and one cannot live without the other but how do you “name” them. You and I, Gentle Reader, are comfortable with genus and species when it comes to identifying our garden plants. We can certainly get

out our old botany books and follow through domains, kingdoms, phyla, class, order and family until we get to genus but most of us don’t really bother with that anymore. Perhaps we should because things are changing quickly. By the way, for you slackers who graduated pre 1990 and have not updated your classification knowledge, you’re behind the times. I will wager that you have never heard of the term “Archaea” let alone know how to spell it. (Yep, neither did I.) Lichens are named after the fungal portion of the colony with the algae part being identified only as a completion of the exercise rather than being especially important. There is a ferocious battle waging among the naming boffins and it is best that you and I keep clear of the fracas until the situation is resolved. On their own, lichens are incredibly fascinating in just about every aspect: symbiosis, cultural range, (Did you know that some of them can actually live inside solid rock?), appearance,

A closing note: Lisa PurvesSmith is a colleague and good friend. Over the years I have had the pleasure of selecting plants for her landscaping business and, more recently, working together at the same landscape nursery. She has been very active promoting horticulture as a career for young people and has spent a good deal of time as a mentor to them. Lisa is a founding member of the Upper Canada Chapter of Landscape Ontario and served on the Ontario College of Trades as horticulture transitioned through to a Red Seal trade. In recognition of this, Lisa was recently honoured by having a Landscape Ontario academic scholarship named after her. Well done, friend! Another closing note: Serena Stiff, another colleague and good friend has started a new business, Hubbs Farms, which will be growing garden produce for the Wellington Farmers’ Market.

and as a food. Did you know that northern latitude peoples were accustomed to removing the reindeer lichen from the rumen (stomach) of killed reindeer and then eaten? Just before this gets you excited enough to gnosh on the stuff be aware that some of them are poisonous. If you this gets you interested enough to learn more, good; but, fair warning, lichen boffins really, really like to use the biggest, most difficult-to-spell words that I have ever seen. The reason for this short essay is because of the unfair rap lichens receive in terms of killing trees. They do not kill trees. Lichens seem to prefer inert objects upon which to rest themselves, such as rocks. Between their two organisms they exist primarily on thin air and take nothing from their anchor point even if it is a plant. So, toss out the notion that lichens kill plants but introduce you to the plausibility of them being symptomatic of a plant in decline. I could not find substantiation for this but I am of the opinion that a healthy, fast growing tree has an active exterior bark, which is constantly changing, which is why you see lichens on a dying tree or a very old tree with a declining metabolism. If you see lichens colonizing your woody plants, there are a few things you can do and increasing air circulation through pruning is one of them. Another is to examine the plant closely and see if you can diagnose

Garbage Bag Ball recycles wardrobe

News - Belleville - On Saturday, April 25, the Dumpster Diva Collective presents the third annual Garbage Bag Ball - Thinking Beyond the Dumpster: Celebrating Local Creativity and Using the 3R’s in your wardrobe! The Dumpster Divas promote the art of dressing in an eco-conscious way rather than following fashion trends. This includes buying previously enjoyed and locally made clothing and accessories that help express each person’s uniqueness. “The Garbage Bag Ball is held Saturday night on the same day that many local communities hold their annual Trash Bash, honouring Earth Day,” says Diva Chantal Fraser, founder and president of Empowered Path Inc. “It’s a great way to celebrate the commitment to living in an environmentally conscious way.” This year, local artisans and businesses are participating in a Stationary Fashion show. Mannequins and dress forms displaying ensembles put together from consignment store and thrift shop finds, repurposed clothing and accessories will grace the lobby and entranceway of the Belleville Club. Each ensemble will include a list of where the pieces were sourced and how much they cost to purchase. “The Stationary Fashion show offers inspiration for those looking to use the three R’s–Reduce, Re-use and Recycle– in their wardrobe,” says eco-fashion designer Ingrid Tiffe, one of the founding members of the Diva Dumpster Collective. The Ball takes place at the Belleville Club at 210 Pinnacle Street, Belleville, starting at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 25, 2015. Enjoy live music from Toni Vani and friends starting at 8:30 p.m. Admission is $10 in advance. Tickets may be purchased at The Boretski Gallery, 300 Front Street, Belleville, at Green Gables Gifts & Greetings, 286 Main Street, Bloomfield, or from any of the Dumpster Divas. Admission at the door is $12 or $10 plus a donation to the Gleaners food bank. For more information visit the <dumpsterdivacollective. com> website.

cade locally. When Alberta passed away in 2009 the family decided a memorial jamboree would be a fitting remembrance, with funds donated to community projects. The jamboree takes place twice a year at the Marble Arts Centre in Actinolite and is sponsored by the Tweed and Area Arts Council. Funds raised from the $8 admittance charge are donated to the Marble Arts Centre in the fall, while proceeds from the spring show on May 1 are donated to the Gateway Community Health Centre Youth Jazz Ensemble. Some song titles from Smile For Me, a 2010 live CD recording of the Alberta Young Jamboree, reflect the authentic traditional side of their music: tunes like Tennessee Mountain Home and The Little Shirt My Mother Made for Me are mixed with newer country numbers such as Where Corn Don’t

Grow and some spiritual/gospel songs. The material has deep roots in the Young family history. “Alberta loved traditional country music and basically mom and dad taught us all how to play and sing. There’s five kids and we all play. We played music around the house forever and ever, and then we started the Tweed Jams at the Legion,” says Jeff Young. Jeff, brother Brad, Alberta and dad Gary, along with Ralph Dafoe and Cathy Whalen formed the Legion “house band.” The Tweed Legion jamborees raised about $15,000 Jeff reports. Proceeds have gone to “minor hockey, soccer, whatever we felt was right.” (The fundraising jamborees are now run by the Tweed Lions Club.) Gary notes that a higher total amount has been raised by the family over the years, playing in nursing homes, churches and com-

munity events. A major recent beneficiary has been the Gateway CHC Youth Jazz Ensemble. At the memorial ceremony held for Alberta at the Land O’ Lakes Curling Club in lieu of a funeral about $5,000 was raised. “Jeff wanted to donate the money to the Gateway Community Health Centre so we had a meeting with Lyn Linton [Gateway CHC Executive Director] and she came up with this idea of starting a jazz ensemble … she asked me if she could allocate that $5,000 to get it started and it just took off from there.” The Gateway CHC Youth Jazz Ensemble will be performing at the upcoming Jamboree, joined by Cathy Whalen, Mary Cassidy, Ken McDonald, Dave Crockett and The Harmony Road Girls, with the Young Family Band, Jeff and Brad, hosting the evening.

Gary Young (l) and son Jeff display a banner for this spring’s Alberta Young Memorial Jamboree. Held twice a year, the jamborees commemorate the memory of Alberta Young and raise funds for the Marble Arts Centre and the Gateway CHC Youth Jazz Ensemble.

MACKfest Whitewater Kayakers bring colour, excitement and a “symbiotic” relationship to Centre Hastings By Margriet Kitchen

News - Marmora - April and the swirling rapids and gentle runs of Beaver Creek and other waterways around Marmora not only welcome returning Canada geese, but also the eager participants of MACKfest, (Marmora Area Canoe and Kayak Festival) who come to the area every year to enjoy the great action on the river. Such locale names as Double Drop, Diamond, Bridge Drop and Ugly inspire a vision of hardy souls careening through their whitewater challenges. Described by the organizers as “a mix of Class 3 canyon runs, some more difficult drops with flat water and easier rapids separating them,” the Beaver Creek run is a spring time classic. Paddlers put into the water in the morning, at a spot off Shannick Road north of Marmora, and continue their three- to four-hour course down to the Beaver Creek Road bridge with some going on to Fidlar’s Glen. It is an eightkilometre distance, with difficulty being intermediate to advanced. A freestyle or “play spot event” was held at Crowe Bridge, just south of Healey Falls, with a large crowd enjoying the sight of the colourful kayaks swirling about and navigating through various eddies and currents. Other runs were held at the Skootamatta, and Black River, with Queensbor-

Home show launch proves huge success

Joshua Maracle of Glengarry Landscape Innovations says the township’s newly launched home show provided plenty of opportunities for exhibitors and visitors alike. By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - An overwhelming response to the newly launched Stirling-Rawdon Home Renovation and Lifestyle Show last weekend has almost certainly cemented its future in the township. Organizers, exhibitors and visitors were extremely impressed with the final result, though many admit to having some reservations at the outset. The event was hosted at the Stirling arena, attracting more than 700 paying visitors from the immediate area as well as from surrounding communities. But with the new and extensive show running for a single day, there would be little time to leave a lasting impression. Glengarry Landscape Innovations Project Manager Joshua Maracle was among the many exhibitors who weren’t sure what to expect when the doors opened. “We do some big, big home shows,” he says, noting with any first-time event there is always an element of risk. “But this has been great. We’ll definitely be back next year.” Maracle’s sentiments were

echoed by dozens of the more than 60 exhibitors, whose products and services are readily available in the community. Even the event organizers admitted the response went beyond their own expectations. “There was a steady stream [of visitors] from the time we opened the door,” says arena manager and show organizer Richard Dean, who worked together with municipal staff and Economic Development Officer Cassandra Boniface to pull off the day-long show that featured area businesses offering everything from financial and insurance services to cabinets and countertops. There were contractors and construction suppliers, florists, health and wellness service providers, car dealers and interior designers, all sharing their knowledge and expertise with show visitors from throughout the area. With a paid attendance of more than 720, township Treasurer Roxanne Hearns noted after final figures were calculated, “everybody’s happy.” “We couldn’t have asked for

B14 Section B - Thursday, April 23, 2015

more,” said Boniface as the afternoon progressed. Pre-show registrations, requests for sponsorship information and general inquiries were promising from the start, she adds, but organizers knew that was no guarantee of success. All smiles as the crowds filed past late in the day, Boniface noted, “everything we’ve heard has been positive. People are really happy. I can’t say for sure, because it’s a council decision, but it looks good for next year.” Dean agreed, noting all members of council had attended the event along with numerous other familiar and unfamiliar faces. “These things usually need two or three years [to get established] but then you look at this,” he says. Dean and Boniface were also behind the launch of the township’s annual Active Community Expo (A.C.E.) that features vendors and exhibitors from local service clubs, sports associations and other special interest groups. And the one-day format, Boniface says, seemed to suit visitors and exhibitors alike. “It’s been a very good day,” she says.

Three-year-old Jessie McCuaig found plenty of distractions at the Stirling-Rawdon Home Renovation and Lifestyle Show last Saturday allowing his father, Matthew, to speak with exhibitor Adam Cooney of sticksandstones Landscaping.

Indoor and outdoor decorating, as well as various other services and products of interest to area residents, were on full display during the Stirling-Rawdon Home Renovation and Lifestyle Show last weekend, attracting more than 700 visitors.

Kath MacLean captivates with poetry, history and a Purdy connection

By Brett Mann

Lifestyles - Tweed - Kath MacLean’s performance poetry has been described as “breathtaking in its lyricism and musicality.” The Toronto-born MacLean is spending the next few months at the Al Purdy Aframe cabin on Roblin Lake, restored as a retreat for Canadian writers with Ms. MacLean the “first one this season.” She also appeared at the Tweed Library recently as the first 2015 author in the Friends of the Library authors series. A full “coffee house” crowd of literature lovers heard Ms. MacLean introduced by Raymond Brassard who admired her ability to “marry history and literature” and to “enter a character, the actual person and channel their voice in her poetry. It’s really an amazing technique.” Ms. MacLean currently lives and works in Edmonton where she teaches writing at Grant MacEwan College, works as a mentor with the Alberta Writers Guild and runs a business with the wonderful name “Vicious Editing.” MacLean has produced poet-

ry, fiction, non-fiction, drama, a film and a CD. She holds “a plethora of degrees” Brassard noted. He also mentioned MacLean’s connection to Al Purdy who she first met at Queen’s University. They met again a few years later when she spent a week with Purdy and his wife Eurithe while on a writers retreat and “they took her under their wing.” She recalls Purdy observing “there’s a fine line between honesty and BS.” Ms. MacLean read from her poetry beginning with a “prayer” entitled Forgive Us Our Trespasses, and spoke of the influences on her work, particularly citing Alister MacLeod and Bronwen Wallace. She spoke at length of a work she is engaged in on the true story of the 1918 flu pandemic. “A lot of my work comes from, Where’s home? Where’s the heart? Where’s the truth? Since 2002 I’ve been working on the truth of what really happened in 1918. There’s very little truth out there,” said MacLean. Her research was greatly aided by the discovery

of a trove of letters from the period which had belonged to her grandmother. The springboard of the project of creative non-fiction (“that’s become an obsession of mine”) was the discovery of a photo from an Edmonton newspaper of four women in 1918 during the Spanish flu pandemic wearing protective masks. Edmonton, as a railway hub was one of the first western centres affected by the deadly flu which travelled west from worse-hit eastern cities, particularly Boston. Her grandmother’s letters were critical to MacLean’s understanding of events in 1918 because little is available in the way of first-hand accounts and “almost all of the letters speak of the devastation of the flu … all public gatherings were closed off … people were too sick to keep records,” MacLean remarked. The New Zealand writer Katherine Mansfield is the subject of one of MacLean’s works. Another work treats with the encounters of HD–Hilda Doolittle,
