Minor hockey to make changes to reverse declining registration, income By John Campbell

Guinness world record breaker?

R0012491340

Page B11

News - Campbellford - With registration declining and revenues dropping, the Campbellford Minor Hockey Association (CMHA) will have to adjust to changing circumstances. Registration fees fell by “quite a substantial amountâ€? to $55,025 over the 12-month period ending March 31, because the association had two fewer teams, treasurer Nancy Boivin told parents at the CMHA annual general meeting May 3. So the fees, which are currently among “the lowest in the area,â€? will have “to go up slightlyâ€? next season, she said. The association also saw income from tournament fees drop signiďŹ cantly, by about $15,000 to $9,400 because far fewer tournaments were held in Campbellford,

because the numbers involved “wouldn’t beneďŹ t anyone.â€? Norwood “has no interest, no desire, they don’t even want to talk about it,â€? Brunton said, but Stirling, like Campbellford, thinks “it’s only a matter of timeâ€? before their futures become aligned. “Right now they’re sitting on the fence, they want to see what happens.â€? (Brunton said later roughly 130 players registered last season, about 30 fewer than a year ago.) Brunton said parents are showing a preference to have their children play twoday tournaments in modern arenas. “It’s hurting the smaller town tournaments like we have here,â€? he said. The association is “thinking about trying something differentâ€? next season, such as combining tournaments for more than one

age group over a weekend. Brunton served notice that one parent in each family will be required to complete an online course, Respect in Hockey, in order to register their children as players. The Ontario Minor Hockey Association describes it as “a proactive, educational program that empowers parents with the tools to ensure the game is enjoyable and respectful for themselves, their children and all other stakeholders in the game.� Brunton said Hockey Canada’s “biggest concern� is the “huge number� of referees, some as young as 14, that have quit because of abusive behaviour by parents. “They’re actually worried about not having enough referees to cover your kids’ [hockey games] much longer,� he said.

just three, compared to eight in years past. The result was another money-losing year, Boivin said, this time $7,735 in the red on expenditures of $141,357. The CMHA Ladies Auxiliary also “struggled a bit ‌ due to the lack of tournaments,â€? outgoing president Andrea Dunkley said. It also had to cope with reduced number of volunteers willing to work in the canteen. “We really hope to work with minor hockey to make things ‌ improve,â€? she said. CMHA president Owen Brunton said the organization has talked amalgamation with other minor hockey associations in the area but the discussions have led nowhere. Joining forces with Percy Minor Hockey Association “just doesn’t make any senseâ€?

Trent Hills to seek funding for flood and recovery costs By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills - Council will ask the province for funding to help cover the costs the municipality and residents incurred as a result of the flooding that took place in April. The situation grew so serious that Mayor Hector Macmillan declared a state of emergency April 24 after water levels rose above those in 2008 when the last major flood occurred in Trent Hills. Since then the situation has stabilized. In a motion that was to come before council for approval this week after press time, the municipality said it had “expended significant resources to protect public and private assets during the flooding event.” The application to the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program for funding identifies more than two dozen locations where flooding occurred, on Concessions 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14, as well as the Gore Concession. Once the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing declares those parts affected by flooding a disaster area, based on damages that exceed the community’s resources to handle, council will immediately appoint members to a disaster relief committee (DRC) to administer claims for assistance submitted by property owners. The maximum payment tenants, farmers, small businesses and non-profit organizations can receive is 90 per cent of eligible costs not covered by insurance. That includes restoration, repairs or the replacement of principal residences and buildings used for business, and the replacement of essential furnishings. “It’s the program of last resort, not full cost recovery,” Kent Fitzhugh, a municipal advisor with the ministry’s Kingston office, told council last week

at a special meeting. It’s “designed to get them back up on their feet.” The province tops up funds raised by the DRC, at a ratio of two dollars for every one raised locally, to the 90 per cent limit, and those monies must be spent before provincial funds are provided. Mayor Hector Macmillan said the committee could face a difficult task, because “times are tough” and there are numerous other worthy causes in the community the public is already being asked to support. “There’s only so much money to go around,” he said. There’s also “a push back” by residents who resent hav-

ing tax dollars spent to help people living in vulnerable areas who aren’t doing more to flood proof their properties. Fitzhugh said the disaster relief committee “sets the time needed to fund raise, it’s not mandated. “You want to get the right people, people who are unafraid to go out and fund raise,” and know how to network, he said. The municipality may recover 100 per cent of eligible expenditures it made providing emergency response, removing debris for public safety, and making repairs to infrastructure that was damaged, such as roads and bridges, However, there is a limit on

Scott White, general manager of infrastructure renewal and public works administration, and other Trent Hills department heads reported last week on the municipality’s response to the flooding that took place throughout the area last month. Public works and recreation staff worked almost 1,000 man hours on flood control, and more than $50,000 was spent on wages and associated costs, including the use of contractors. Volunteer firefighters provided an additional 736 hours of labour, Fire Chief Tim Blake said. Photo: John Campbell

what it can receive in assistance as well, one factor being the municipality’s financial capacity weighed against the impact the disaster had. How much assistance will be required had yet to be tabulated at the time of the special meeting. “We won’t know the extent of private property damage or the public(’s) until the water recedes,” CAO Mike Rutter said.

Macmillan said he’s “not so sure it’s the weather” that caused water levels to surpass those recorded in 2008. “Something has changed in the operations of the TSW [TrentSevern Waterway],” he said. Rutter agreed, saying it was a common refrain heard from victims of flooding. He and the mayor suggested

Trent Hills lead an effort by municipalities along the waterway to press for a review of how the federal agency manages water levels throughout the system. “This just can’t continue,” Macmillan said. “There are too many people out there pointing fingers in the same direction. Something has changed that needs to be changed again.”

presentations by Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, Councillor Rosemary KelleherMacLennan and CAO Mike Rutter urging the public to get behind the municipal campaign to raise a million dollars for redevelopment of recreational facilities in Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth. The centrepiece of the $30-million-plus initiative is a new arena with aquatic centre to replace Campbellford’s functionally obsolete rink. “We need to get the community to get excited about this,� said Rutter, who explained the business case the municipality has put together showing it can operate the new facilities with the same amount of money it currently spends to run arenas and an outdoor swimming pool. “The numbers work,� Macmillan said. “Can we

afford it? Absolutely.� Both he and Rutter urged parents to solicit support for the project from candidates in the provincial election next month and the federal election next year, as those two levels of government will need to provide two-thirds of the funding required to build the new rec centre in Campbellford. But “if people continue to talk negatively about these facilities, they’re never going to happen,� Macmillan said. “We need your help and support going forward.� Kelleher-MacLennan said the recreation and wellness centre will be an “economic driver� for the community. Brunton said afterwards “a new facility will definitely help� the association’s chances of hosting tournaments. Having a pool on site “makes a big difference,� he added.

Baptie told The Independent. “It felt really good to be standing on the podium.� Baptie said she thought she was going to cry after advancing after the elimination match into the medal round for the first time ever.

The duo opened the tourney against the “A� Flight second seed and held their own but eventually lost.

I didn’t think we were going to make it that far,� Widdis added. “It was exciting to stay up in “B� Flight and win fourth,� said Smith. “There were nerves but I think we were a little more confident because we were there last year. It was a nice way to cap off high school.� “It was nice to be up a whole flight higher,� Reed, a three-time OFSAA player, said. “We had to face elimination twice but we stuck to it to make it to the later rounds.� Widdis and Baptie were “more than deserving� to win gold, NDHS coach Jeff Winslow said. “I was just sort of a piece of the puzzle that took them to the top; they really took it on their own to take it to the next level and get some club coaching. It was nice to see them come

Midnight Madness fishing frenzy ready to go By Bill Freeman

News - Hastings - There’s bound to be a crowd of eager anglers on the Hastings Bridge shortly before the clock ushers in May 17. The sixth annual Midnight Madness fishing derby will help kick off the beginning of the pickerel season with anglers getting a chance to cast their lines off the bridge in one of Canada’s primetime fishing destinations. Hastings is in fact the World Fishing Network’s 2012 Ultimate Fishing Town Canada champions and the yearly Midnight Madness frenzy of fun is an example of why the village claimed the coveted prize. The event is hosted by the Hastings Historical Society and its genial former president Tony Tuit who has watched the derby grow in popularity over the years. “People are coming from all around. There is a real sense of excitement there for the first hour. They make an occasion out of it,” Tuit said relishing the moment he blows his whistle at just after midnight. One year there were fireworks, he added.

“It’s part of the fun.” Organizers and anglers have endured some cold days on the bridge during Midnight Madness, although over the past two years Mother Nature has been gentle. Avid anglers, Tuit, notes, are not deterred by a bit of inclement weather. “The last couple of years have been quite nice. I don’t know what we’re going to get this year,” he says with a chuckle. There are prizes for the first fish caught by a male angler and female angler as well as one for the first youth under 14 to reel in a pickerel. There will also be a variety of draw prizes given away. “It has become a big event, the last two years I’ve counted 185 people fishing at 12:05 a.m.,” says Tuit. “People come and go but they want to be there for this event. I like sitting and talking to people as they’re fishing.” It is very much a social event, he adds. “There are definitely more women fishing as well,” he adds. The Hastings Bridge is one of very few bridges allowing anglers to fish from

Citizens are being kept in the dark

Dear Editor, RE: Trans Pacific Partnership/ Public Health and Access to Medicine We are members of GRAN Quinte (Grandmothers Advocacy Network) and as such are concerned about the provisions being proposed in the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) that threaten to restrict access to affordable medicines by millions of people including Canadians. This agreement would make it difficult for patients, governments and treatment providers to access affordable generic medi-

cines in Canada and developing countries owing to the provisions for patent extensions. All but the very wealthy will be affected negatively by this agreement. Too many people already suffer and die because the medicines they need are too expensive or do not exist. Across the world, health advocates claim it is a matter of life and death that we say NO to these changes in the TPP. Transparency should be the essential characteristic of democratic government yet citizens are being kept in the dark about

these negotiations whereas corporations are consulted and made privy to details. This lack of transparency will prevent democratic checks and balances. We urge the Canadian government to ensure that the final text of the TPP is aligned with its pre-existing global public health commitments. Medicines should not be a luxury.

OPINION Connected to your community Israel: The “A” word

Editorial - Hillary Clinton would never have used the word when she was US Secretary of State, because she still has presidential ambitions. John Kerry, the current Secretary of State, has no further ambitions in that direction, which may be why he dared to use the words “apartheid” and “Israel” in the same sentence. Or maybe he just didn’t realise that the world hear about it. Gwynne Dyer would Kerry spoke last week to a group of high-ranking officials from the US, Europe and Japan known as the Trilateral Commission about the failure of his year-long attempt to revive the “peace talks” between Israel and the Palestinians. Somebody at the meeting secretly recorded his comments, which were published by the Daily Beast on Monday, and suddenly he was in very hot water. What he said was that the long-sought “two-state solution” was the only real alternative to a “unitary” Israeliruled state that included all the territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea – and ruled over millions of Palestinians in the territories that have been under Israeli military occupation since 1967. Those Palestinians, most of whom cannot remember a time when they did not live under Israeli control, have no political rights within Israel. The two-state solution, under negotiation off and on for the past 20 years, would give them a state of their own, but most people had despaired some time ago of getting Israel to agree to an independent Palestine. Kerry had not, so he was surprised and disappointed when his efforts came to naught. That was why he blurted out the truth that American politicians are never supposed to acknowledge. He said that without the two-state solution, “a unitary [Israeli] state winds up either being an apartheid state with second-class [Palestinian] citizens – or it ends up being a state that destroys the capacity of Israel to be a Jewish state.” It was clumsily phrased, but the basic idea is common in both Israeli and Palestinian political discourse. Even if

Israel never formally annexes the occupied territories, it has been building Jewish settlements all over them for decades, and the Palestinian inhabitants are effectively controlled by the Israeli government. If this situation continues indefinitely, and the Palestinians must live out their lives as mere residents without no political rights, then they are in the same position as the black South Africans who lived all their lives under white rule without citizenship or the vote. That was the very essence of apartheid. Alternatively, of course, Israel might grant them citizenship and the vote: that’s what happened when apartheid ended in South Africa in 1994. But there are already a great many Palestinians living under Israeli rule, and their higher birth rate would make them a majority in that “unitary” Israel in less than a generation. That might or might not be a state where Jews were happy to live, but it would definitely no longer be a Jewish state. State Department officials tried to defend their boss’s comments for a few hours, but as the firestorm of protest by American Zionist organisations grew the Obama administration realised that Kerry had to be forced to apologise for speaking the truth. The story that they took him down into the White House basement and beat him with rubber hoses is probably untrue, but on Tuesday he recanted his heresy. “I do not believe,” Kerry said, “nor have I ever stated, publicly or privately, that Israel is an apartheid state or that it intends to become one.” Well, of course not. It’s not an apartheid state now because the non-citizen status of the Palestinians for the past 47 years is technically only temporary, pending the creation of their own state. And Israel has no intention of ever meeting the technical definition of an apartheid state, either, because that would be a public-relations disaster. However, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu seems convinced that he can avoid that outcome simply by hanging on to the occupied territories indefinitely but never formally annexing them, and many Israelis agree with him. They might even be right, but John Kerry doesn’t think so. Or at least, he didn’t until his own people worked him over a bit.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Fed up with Hydro One Dear Editor We have been living here in Trenton since 2011. When we moved to this beautiful town, the first thing Hydro One did was to change the “old smart meter” with a new “smart meter”, even though it was only three days old. Go figure... Anyway, in September of 2012 I noticed on our hydro bill that it was only estimations, and called the hydro company to inquire as to why it was only estimation and not the right number of consumption. The answer I got was: there is a problem with the smart meter but it will be corrected in about two to three months, and we will adjust your billing accordingly. I called the Hydro One at least every second month to see what took them so long to correct the problem, and again was told it could take about two to three months to correct. Today, May 2, I received my hydro bill as per usual date and almost had a heart attack, as the bill showed an amount of $1,454.42... and this amount is an adjustment from June 2012 to April of 2014 I have just ended a conversation with Mohammed in billing at Hydro One, and was told the reason for this high

amount on my bill is due to the fact that they have only been estimating our consumption, but now the “smart meter” is working as it should and from now on, it will be the actual consumption. Now I have a question. We are being charged something called regulatory charges and we are being charged debt retirement charges. I do not understand why we are taxed on regulatory charges and on debt retirement charges, as that is not a service, but basically a fine we are paying because somebody literally screwed up. On top of this, the delivery charge is three times as much as consumption? And why when Hydro is so expensive, are we paying for another country to take our surplus Hydro? It does not make sense. I would be like the supermarket paying us for taking their groceries. As you can most likely read between the lines, I am stewing and I am not sure that you are the person to write to but I had to let somebody in politics know about this. We are retired and are on a fixed income, and fed up and this is just going to be more and more difficult to bear. Sincerely, Kirsten Skjodt, Trenton

Heee’s baaaack... By Terry Bush Editorial - Considering where we live, we really don’t need to have curtains on our windows. The city, it’s not. Secluded, it is. Mare and I are well past our prime, well at least one of us is, so in the event that someone is outside peeking in while I’m putting on my gotchies, I’d say the resulting retching is well-deserved. And in Mare’s case, the offending peeping Tom had better have a flannel fetish, because he’s going to see the same thing I do on a nightly basis often encased in a double set of housecoats. The girl is not well-insulated. So why are we finally thinking about curtains five years into owning this house? Let the broken record spin. It wasn’t a nice winter. It was a good winter for anything to do with snow and it reminded me of the great winters we used to experience when we were kids but two words pretty much sum it up for us. Electric furnace. In a perfect world, the previous owners would have installed infloor heating given the preponderance of tile in the place. But their main usage for our current home was as a getaway. You could tell that by the fireplace that sent all the heat up the chimney. Not to brag but I think we did our part to pay the salary of at least one Hydro employee this winter with a bit of overtime thrown in. The most remarkable bill we received was for the month of March when we were on the other side of the world for three weeks. With the furnace set around 12 degrees, we still managed to top the $1,000 mark for the month. After the rage subsided, it was time to figure out what to do about the situation. Isn’t the Internet grand? Within half an hour of surfing, I’d found out that my plan to install in-floor heating between the floor joists would probably not be an attractive option unless I had an extra $20,000 kicking around. I don’t. So we are forced to consider cheaper alternatives to whittle away at our ever-increasing heating bill. I remember a time when an attic was used as a place to store things, lots of things; cool things especially if you were a kid rummaging around. Often it even contained items that had been left behind by a previous owner. Now it’s a place to store insulation. So, we’ll be storing another six inches of pink there this fall to go with the eight inches of bats and blown that already reside

there. So much space, so little storage. And then shudder, shudder, we’ll buy insulated curtains and cocoon ourselves for six months. Hopefully after spending much less than we would have upgrading our heating system, we might be able to drop our Hydro bill down into the $800 per month range other people said they paid last winter for various heat sources. It might even make it more fun for any Toms who’d like to take a peek, because as we all know, a little bit of hard work always makes the rewards that much sweeter. My other option as far as reducing my Hydro bill would be to entice people to move to our neighbourhood which might eventually result in a change in our Hydro One designation as rural low density. But then we’d have to move because our little piece of heaven would be too populated. Curtains and insulation will have to do this time round. We may even get the new window coverings sooner than later. Apparently we’ve become way too countrified in a farmer kind of way. Either that or our eyelids are thinning in our middle age like the skin on the back of our hands. Five a.m. rolls around these days and for some reason, the eyelids roll up like cartoon window blinds. Gone are the days when sleeping in was not only a pleasure but, at times, a necessity. But none of the aforementioned reasons are really why curtains could soon be adorning the multitude of windows in our rural home. An ungrateful avian, who dined on our dime all winter, has returned with a vengeance. That darned little sparrow that spent his days pecking at the kitchen and bedroom windows last summer has returned and taken his game up a notch. Must be the playoff atmosphere we have in Canada right now. With no nest to be found in any of the shrubbery, he’s upped the ante and is currently pecking away at four or five windows despite my best efforts to shoo him away. We’ve placed bird decals on the windows and he seems to be under the impression that he’s the leader of the flock. I swear he’s giving me the feather during his constant attacks and I just can’t take it anymore. It’s time to draw the curtain on his antics once and for all. And if the curtains don’t work, I have an owl waiting in the wings. Victory will be mine.

Crime Stoppers is for youth too: police By Bill Freeman

News - Hastings - Peterborough-Northumberland Crime Stoppers is reminding young people that the program is for them too. “We’re letting the kids know that Crime Stoppers is also for them,” said Northumberland OPP Constable Tracey Covell, also a Crime Stoppers co-ordinator, during a visit to Hastings Public School where she spoke to Grade 6 to 8 students. Constable Covell has been visiting elementary schools across Northumberland to “bring the program a little bit more into the schools.” Grade 6 to 8 is a good age group to address, she says. “It’s good starting out at this age because it sets the stage for what kind of school and community you want. We’re letting them know they can protect their friends and keep their community safe as well. They are taking more ownership of their school,” Constable Covell said in an interview. “We want to get that message out [now] that they’re not rats and they’re not going to get in trouble, they’re actually doing the right thing and they’re go-

ing to help somebody and they’re going to keep themselves safe.” “We notice that there are more calls after we visit schools,” she adds. “It provides them with an outlet to provide us with more information without having to speak to the police or being scared of being beat up by kids. We find that we are getting lots of calls from kids regarding bullying and mischief in schools.” They’re also receiving information about children who their schoolmates fear might be victims of child abuse, Covell adds. “It’s good that we’re getting that information.” Last year there was an increase in calls and Covell says they’re on the “same track” for 2014. They receive about 15 to 20 tips a week and solve two to three cases. She says the program has benefited greatly from their online tip address, <www.stopcrimehere.ca> and hope to have a smartphone app by the fall. “We usually get one or two web tips but last week six of the 12 that came in were web,” Covell says. The online address allows tipsters to file information quickly and it allows

Crime Stoppers to communicate anonymously, but directly, with the respondent. “We can ask more questions or if there’s a successful resolution we can tell them right away,” Covell said. The telephone app is “one more way of keeping up with technology so we can be accessed easier.” The school visits also give students a chance to take home brochures for their parents. “Sometimes as adults you don’t realize Crime Stoppers is there,” Covell said. “We keep telling kids that no part of information is too small. That could be the one little piece in a bigger puzzle that can get a warrant or get a child to safety. It might not mean a lot to the tipster but it means a lot to the investigator.” Constable Covell has been with the OPP for ten years and says the two-year posting to Crime Stoppers has been an interesting change. Her colleague with the Peterborough-Lakefield Community Police gets a four-year posting. Because of the call volume and geography the program needs two officers, she said.

Ministry of Environment taking Brighton to court By Ray Yurkowski

News – Brighton – Municipal Councillor John Martinello didn’t waste any time getting an agenda item moved from closed session into open discussion at council’s regular meeting on Monday night. “We should have nothing to hide from the taxpayers and I don’t think it serves any good purpose to keep it out of the taxpayers’ view,” he said. “This council has spent a lot of effort on this issue and there has been a lot of concern.” Martinello was referring to a closeddoor report from environmental services manager Catherine Chisholm regarding the wastewater treatment plant and advice that might be subject to solicitor-client privilege. In a recorded vote, Councillors Mary Tadman, Craig Kerr and Mayor Mark Walas agreed with Martinello. It turns out the Municipality of

Brighton has been summoned to court by the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE). “The wastewater pollution control plant operates under an environmental compliance approval issued by the Ministry of Environment and it governs all of the operations of the plant,” explained Chisholm. “As part of that, it also lists the discharge limits we are required to meet for effluent quality and it states the reporting requirements when those limits are exceeded. “Under the ammonia policy, if there are repeated exceedances after a certain period of time it has to go to the investigative and enforcement branch.” Wastewater ammonia made headlines in 2012, when ministry officials issued an order to ensure the municipality was following an action plan to reduce the levels in the sewage treatment lagoon. And according to a recent wastewater report, the levels are still

ports we’ve issued,” said Chisholm. “This indicates that, at the Ministry of Environment, the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing,” said Kerr. “The fact is, we have worked very, very closely with them on the remedial actions we planned on taking. They agreed with those plans and they didn’t work. “Our staff came up with a highly innovative pilot project for solving the problem, presented it and they immediately revised their order and agreed we should go ahead with that remedial action. We’ve been complying all the way along.” Martinello wondered if the cost of defending the summons might be more

than paying the penalty. “There are times when you realize you’re going to cut your losses by pleading guilty,” he said. “I don’t know if we gain any credibility by arguing against the MOE.” “I certainly would not suggest pleading guilty,” said Councillor Tom Rittwage. “In my personal opinion, it’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. However, after sitting at this table for the past three-and-a-half years, I have come to the realization that some people won’t be satisfied until we have a new $40 million sewage treatment plant.” In a 6-1 recorded vote, all but Martinello approved receiving the report.

high. “The ministry has conducted an investigation and, on April 21, they issued a summons to court on June 12,” Chisholm told council. The court order lists offences under the Water Resources Act from 2012 and those that occurred up until September 2013. “The offences have been discussed with the municipal solicitor and he feels the municipality can take a position of due diligence because of the response the municipality has had to the orders and the letters sent to the municipality by the ministry,” said Chisholm. “He feels there has been an active and diligent response to their request.” As well, ministry officials approved a pilot study, using a new technology at the wastewater facility. “The ministry receives monthly updates of the progress of that study and, to date, they are satisfied with the re-

News - Trent Hills - When asked why he’s running again for council, the municipality’s longest serving politician, Bill Thompson, answers with a question of his own, and then gives the answer: “Why wouldn’t I? I love the job.” And the voters obviously love what he’s doing. He’s been in politics 28 years, serving first on Seymour Township and then Campbellford-Seymour, before Trent Hills was formed in 2001. “We’ve got a great thing going and I’d just like to be part of it [for another four years],” he says, pointing out there’s always work to be done—keeping equipment up-to-date and roads up to standard, and following through on plans that have been made. “It’s a good job … [and] things are working real well,” he says. “I enjoy council, and we don’t really have any issues.” The owner of William J. Thompson Farm Supply, who’s been in business 45 years, says what keeps him engaged after being so long on council is “making decisions when the staff reports come to us … [it’s] being part of the community, really.”

It’s also “really nice … to have the mayor that we do have and work with him [Hector Macmillan],” he adds. “It’s been fun the last few years.” Thompson says “one of the big things” he’s learned as a council member is not to meddle in the day-to-day operations of the municipality when people come to him with complaints. “I don’t really get involved with too many people’s problems because I don’t really have the answers like the people [at town hall] do,” he says. If residents have a problem, they should talk to the department that can deal with their issue, he says. “I’ve had 100 per cent co-operation with them all downtown, all the staff,” he says. “It just makes the job easy.” Thompson says the huge increase in paperwork is the most noticeable change he’s witnessed in all his years on council. “There’s so much more to read.” Thompson says “the problem with the government making the regulations” is that it’s left to municipalities “to look after them,” including the costs involved. “It’s just not fair,” he says.

Annual Bridge Hospice Walk-a-thon raises $4,500, the most in its four-year history By Sue Dickens

News – Warkworth – In spite of a cold gloomy rainy day loyal supporters of The Bridge Hospice showed up to brave the weather for the fourth annual fundraising walk-a-thon. According to organizers there was a great turnout and just over $4,500 was raised, “the most yet,� for The Bridge Hospice. This year there was a bit of a twist to the format as a scavenger hunt added to the excitement for the walkers as they travelled along the Millennium Trail and through downtown Warkworth. Taking along a list of questions to sleuth out the answers the walkers were asked for information along the way such as how many cookies are in the window of the Sprucewood Handmade Cookie Company or what is the licence number on the boat at Johnston Co. Automotive or what is the animal on the township of Percy Crest or when was St. Paul’s United Church built. All the answers could be found on signs, plaques or near the item on the list making the walk more interesting and providing some fun for participants. Organizers and directors Elizabeth Aikenhead, Dr. Bob Henderson (chair of the board of directors) and Martha

Murphy were at the registration desk as participants signed up for the morning event held last Saturday. As co-chairs of the committee spearheading the walk this year they wanted to make sure everyone had the information they needed to follow the walking route which saw members of the Warkworth Community Service Club at various crossing points to ensure everyone’s safety. Bob Rowe, a longtime board member, was there with several of his grandchildren. “We did it last year and it was a lot of fun,� said Emma Lamanne, who explained she is turning eight this year. She was joined by Rowe’s other grandchildren seven-yearold Claire Rowe, four-year-old Wade Rowe and eight-year-old Colin Rowe. “We did it before and liked it,� agreed Colin. “We’re delighted this year to partner with Closing the Gap. They are so enthusiastic about the walk-a-thon,� commented Aikenhead. Yianni Soumalias, director of business development for Closing the Gap, was on hand to provide information to walkers about its services. “We were recently awarded public funds to deliver physiotherapy services in the

Campbellford area and because we are an active member of the community we wanted to give back and provide an opportunity for the hospice,â€? Soumalias told the Trent Hills Independent. This stream of funding from the Ministry of Health was awarded to 200 physiotherapy clinics across Ontario with public funds to deliver services. Their clinic in Campbellford is located in the Trent Hills Family Health Team’s medical centre across from Campbellford’s hospital. “We are hoping the funding for the physiotherapy clinic remains in the community so that is why we are spreading the word and that is why we are here today, to make the community aware of the services that are available to them,â€? Soumalias explained. This is the ďŹ rst year that Closing the Gap has sponsored the walk-a-thon. The Bridge Hospice receives no government funding and relies on its many volunteers and donors. For more information go to www.closingthegap.ca or call 705-653-0551. For more information about the hospice go to: www. thebridgehospice.com The annual general meeting will be held June 12.

Percy students have eyes opened making new recipes By John Campbell

News - Warkworth - What’s not to like about a school assignment that’s fun to do and tastes pretty good when you’re done. Grade 7/8 students at Percy Centennial Public School are finding out just how enjoyable a school nutrition program can be with the help of Pat Stuckless, a public health food worker, and the support of The Abundance Project. “It’s been really great,” said Olivia Rapos last week at the end of a twohour session in which she and several of her schoolmates made muffins and turned strawberries, raspberries and bananas into an ice cream-like dessert. “It’s actually fun, I’ve never really experienced anything like it at school before,” added Brooke-Lynn Stinson. “The Abundance Project is all about healthy eating,” said its co-ordinator David Lyon. “What we’re trying to do here is introduce the kids to cooking … [and] recipes that they, hopefully, will take home and make.” Stuckless, from the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit, “has been very good” at teaching the students cooking skills and having them prepare dishes that are low

in fat and sugar and high in fibre, “to get them away from sugar and highly processed food,” Lyon said. The classes, which have been held every Monday afternoon in St. Paul’s United Church’s kitchen facilities since last fall, are not just about cooking, they’re also an opportunity for “good socializing activity outside of the regular classroom,” he said. And since January, the students have been making muffins, cookies and other foods for Percy’s breakfast program, “doing something good for their fellow students.” Grade 7/8 teacher Julianna Anderson said “it’s been a great bonding experience” for her students. “Socially, it gets them to know each other in a different environment.” She’s also noticed “a big change” in their measuring skills which she believes will “carry over … when they’re learning about fractions in class, which is pretty awesome.” Anderson said the students have “tried foods they never tried before,” which is “opening their eyes to eating in a different way.” The class is divided into three groups, to make the classes more man- Percy Centennial Public School Grade 7/8 students (l-r) Aidan Coull, Felisha Umbel, Brooke-Lynn Stinson, Olivia Rapos, Gavyn Anderson and Sage Van de ageable, so each group takes classes Walker have been learning how to cook with the help of the district health unit and The Abundance Project in Warkworth.

Assisted living hub has been “awesome” success

By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - The Assisted Living Service for High Risk Seniors (ALSHRS) program in Havelock has been an enormous success since the rural “hub” opened its doors this year in the seniors’ apartment complex on George Street. Delivered and co-ordinated by the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON) in conjunction with the Central East Community Care Access Centre, the program has already attracted 15 clients and is on target to meet its goal of 30, says Judith Layzell of the VON’s Peterborough, Victoria and Haliburton site. The VON received significant provincial dollars late last year which has allowed them to expand the ALS-HRS program in this area. The Peterborough branch received $349,962 while the VON’s Northumberland branch received $698,925 to expand in Campbellford and Cobourg. The funding was part of the $3,471,922 the Central East Local Health Integration Network’s northeast “cluster” received from the provincial government. The applauded funding announcement was made the VON’s adult day service site in Havelock. “It’s a really exciting initiative. It is one of those programs that makes sense,” says Layzell. “There’s such a

need for the program.” The ALS program is designed for people who without traditional support would end up in long-term-care facilities. The program, with its built in flexibility, provides specialized, as-needed 24/7 personal support so clients can remain independent and in their own homes, says Layzell. “The services are similar to what they used to call supportive housing. Supportive housing is a wonderful program but in order to qualify you need to live in a designated building. This is supportive housing without the walls.” It’s a “personal support worker-driven program that provides 24-hour access to clients in their own home,” she explains. People who quality for ALS need more than just the scheduled visit that can be arranged through the Access Centre, she adds. The service also includes homemaking and security checks. Each client is provided with a “lifeline,” an electronic call device that will summon a PSW within 15 to 30 minutes. “To have 15 clients so quickly speaks to the demand for the program,” says Layzell. The Havelock hub also employs local PSWs which is another plus.

“The advantage of this set-up is that we can serve clients quicker and be more flexible. They can flex care to the client’s needs. The goal of this program is to keep people out of institutions and at home which is where they want to be. It also hires [local] people.” Having a flourishing ALS program doesn’t mean Havelock doesn’t need a long-term-care facility, Layzell stresses, but it can delay or even prevent clients from having to move into such institutions. “It’s awesome to be able to give to the community and the PSWs all live in this area,” adds ALS co-ordinator Linda Palmer. The Havelock program currently has two full-time PSWs, two part-time and one casual PSW; those numbers will double when they reach 30 clients. “For PSWs it’s very hard to get fulltime work and to get work where they live is a real bonus,” Palmer says. The advantages of continuity of care, with clients having the same PSW, are evident, she says. There are clients who now eat three proper meals a day and that’s led to a reduction in the number of falls. The program can adjust the amount of care based on need. “It’s a good investment in the com-

At last, final community garden site chosen water access and the safety of gardeners because of proximity to the nearby ball park. The George Street park location was put into the mix after a proposed garden at Victoria Street Peterborough Housing apartment building was taken off the table after a groundswell of opposition from tenants. Nourish Havelock’s first choice, a site behind the Havelock Medical Centre, did not win council’s approval; an alternative site off Old Norwood Road recommended by staff at the time was rejected by Nourish Havelock because of its distance from the village and lack of accessibility. With the Davidson Crescent site

create “more jobs for kids” to give them the opportunity to remain living in the area. “There’s not a lot for them to come back for,” Mills says. It also bothers him the Warkworth arena isn’t used more. “There are Saturdays the arena sits down here empty all day long, there’s nothing going on,” he says. “There used to be.” Some people say it’s because interest in hockey is waning, but “hockey hasn’t really died off that much.” Mills is doing his part to boost recreation in Warkworth by starting up a baseball program this year. “Our diamond was just sitting here doing nothing,” he says. “I just thought we got to get some kids doing something.” About 40 young people

have signed up, with enough to form a midget team and possibly a bantam team, he says, and there will be tee ball as well. “I just like to get involved in community things, make it work,” says Mills, who describes himself as “levelheaded” and a good listener who keeps an open mind. “You’ve got to open your ears before you open your mouth,” he says. The Campbellford native who moved to Warkworth nearly 40 years ago says he still sees signs of an “us against them” mentality in some ways, even though Trent Hills was formed from three municipalities more than a decade ago. “We’ve all got to work together for the benefit of the community of Trent Hills,” he says. “It’s getting better but … we’ve got some work to do.”

sist of totally accessible raised beds. “There will be costs with accessing water and prepping the site and finishing the area for the gardens, building a small parking area and the rental of a portable washroom and staff is comfortable that this work can be completed as outlined in previous reports,” a report to council said. CAO Pat Kemp says there will be no need to dig up William Street to supply water to the site. Morris says director of public works Brian McMillan told him that it would be easier to prepare the Davidson Crescent site than the one at the George Street park. Municipal prep work could be done

in two or three days, Morris said, and it would then take Nourish about two weeks to get the garden ready for a June 1 planting deadline. “Everything looks good. We’d be happy to go ahead with that because of the time constraints.” Morris also suggested the municipality inform William Street residents of the plan. Deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe agreed. “Because we are the owners of the property we need to be communicating with the neighbours about the project. I don’t think the task force should do that.” “It’s a great site,” said councillor Barry Pomeroy. “Hopefully this is it.”

council has agreed to the same financial contribution ($12,000 from the township’s Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund account) and support it offered for the proposed sites off Victoria Street and at the George Street park. “From our point of view it looks excellent from everybody’s side,” Nourish chair Les Morris said. “Most of the committee has looked at the site and it’s better than the one by the arena. Although it’s not our first choice it certainly looks like a great site for a garden.” Nourish Havelock says that its major funding partner, the YWCA, approves of the site and will continue to support the project. One of the key components of the garden proposal is that it will con-

Team captains rally at 2014 Trent Hills Relay for Life

Brooke Allan, left, of Forgrave Financial, Campbellford (Relay for Life central) was joined by Dave MacDougall, at last Saturday’s rally for this year’s Trent Hills Relay for Life which takes place September 5. Her job was team recruitment. MacDougall is a past co-chair of the Relay for Life. Photo: Sue Dickens

It was a bit of a struggle for a few minutes to get man’s best friend to pose alongside their owners at the Bark for Life Walk-a-thon but these folks know all about struggles as they devoted their time to raise money to fight cancer at the first ever walk-a-thon in Trent Hills. It was held in conjunction with the rally for this September’s Trent Hills Relay for Life. Photo: Sue Dickens By Sue Dickens

Leona McGee was at the recent rally for the Trent Hills Relay for Life 2014 and is in charge of the “Fight Back Zone.” Having won her first battle by advocating for the ban of tanning beds for youth under the age of 18, she is on to her next fight, called “Cancer shouldn’t come in a Candy Wrapper— end the flavour,” as she hopes to stop the sale of candy flavoured cigarettes filled with tobacco to young people. Photo: Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - The tale of how a puppy named Henry brought home the real reason why fund-raising events such as the Bark for Life walk-athon and the Trent Hills Relay for Life are so important. Virginia Hendricks, who lost her husband to cancer in 2008, spoke to walkers gathered last Sunday about just how much Henry means to her and the role he played during her husband’s battle to fight cancer. “My husband was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer in December 2008. On January 2, 2009, on our 55th wedding anniversary, we were told that Ross had six weeks to live without treatment or six months with aggressive treatment, chemo and radiation. He chose treatment,” she

bravely told walkers gathered for the walk-a-thon. Hendricks told her story of their search for a puppy at a kennel when “Henry came out from another room looked at Ross and curled up on his feet.” “Whether Ross was in bed or in his favourite chair Henry would cuddle up with him and stay with him. Eventually Ross had to go into palliative care and when I would go to the hospital every day I would tell Henry he had to watch the house. Henry would look at me then go curl up in Ross’s chair and wait for me to come home,” she explained. “Ross lived 12 months and Henry is still with me. Ross’s chair is still Henry’s favourite place to snuggle in,” she added. Her story touched the hearts of all the walkers who were there to raise money for cancer research. “We are all here today because cancer affects your lives one way or another,” said Emily Vassiliadis, Relay for Life fund-raising co-ordinator at the Peterborough office of the Canadian Cancer Society. While the walkers headed onto the track at the Campbellford fairgrounds, dozens of people gathered inside the Red Barn where they registered their teams and picked up kits for this year’s Trent Hills Relay for Life which will take place September 5 from 7 p.m. to 12:01 a.m. The special rally held in conjunction

with the Bark for Life walka-thon, gave team captains the opportunity to gather the information they need to make this year’s event another success. “Today is the captain’s rally. We encouraged new and old to come and find out what’s new,” commented Brooke Allan, who was busy taking names and making sure everyone received their kits and made their way to display tables. One of those displays, home to the “Fight Back Zone” was being looked after by Leona McGee who spent more than three years asking people to sign the ban so no youth 18 and under could use tanning beds. “On October 9, 2013 Bill 74 [The Skin Cancer Pre-

vention Act] was passed. We were successful,” she said with a big grin. McGee is already working on her next campaign, “Cancer shouldn’t come in a candy wrapper—end the flavour,” as she fights to stop the sale of candy flavoured cigarettes filled with tobacco. “Research showed in 2012, 52 per cent of children in Grades six to twelve have already tried these products,” said McGee armed with statistics. She will be taking her message to this year’s Relay for Life. For more information go to: <http://www.cancer.ca/en/ events/on/2014/september/ relay-for-life-in-trent-hills2014/?region=on>.

St. George’s, Westben part of Doors Open celebration By Bill Freeman

Events - Hastings - Two newcomers and one returning site will represent Trent Hills in the annual Doors Open Northumberland celebration June 7 and 8. Historic St. George’s Anglican Church in Hastings and the Westben Arts Festival Theatre in Campbellford will join Warkworth’s Schoolhouse Gardens in this year’s celebration of heritage and culture across the county. In all, visitors can tour 20 Doors Open sites in Northumberland while exploring this year’s themes of World War I, industrial heritage and town and country and churches. Across the province, there

will be 49 different Doors Open events in hundreds of communities starting with last weekend’s kick-off events in Peterborough, Whitby, Hamilton and Guelph. “It’s very exciting. We’re ready to open the doors,” says Skye Morrison of the Campbellford-Seymour Heritage Committee as well as the Hastings Historical Society which is hosting the stop at St. George’s where acclaimed Trobairitz, Harpist and Storyteller Angelica Ottewill of Trent River will perform on June 7 and 8. Last year the Hastings Historical Society welcomed guests to the Riverside Pavilion, a popular former dance hall.

“St. George’s is a really beautiful arts and craft church with all this McCausland stained glass,” says Morrison. The renowned Robert McCausland Limited Studio is the oldest surviving stained glass studio in North America and is enjoying its fifth generation of artistic creation. Ottewill will perform from 2 to 4 p.m. each day at St. George’s. “It’s a good acoustic space and Angelica is used to playing in churches,” says Morrison. Ottewill recently performed at a fund raiser for St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Norwood. Morrison is also excited about the opportunity to showcase some of the painting of St. George’s

first minister Reverend Michael Andrews Farrar, an immigrant from Wales who settled in Westwood and would minister to the “two-point parish” of Hastings and Norwood, with Westwood added soon afterwards. The Reverend Farrar oversaw the building of churches in Hastings and Westwood; the Anglican Church in Westwood is named St. Michael’s in his honour. The Reverend Farrar was also a notable artist, says Morrison. Some of his original art is housed in the Trent University archives and Morrison hopes to have them on display, along with other HHS artefacts, during Doors Open. At Westben visitors will get a chance to look behind the scenes at the festival’s charmingly inti-

mate 400-seat timber-frame barn theatre. “There are some really interesting other places [across Northumberland],” Morrison says, including the Kilpatrick Leather Shop in Port Hope that has been in continuous operation since 1881. Following the World War I theme, the Veterans Monument in Colborne’s Victoria Square is part of Doors Open. Morrison says a re-enactor in period costume will be at the site. The monument was made possible by Eliza Padginton, the longest-serving postmistress in Canada who corresponded with Colborne-area soldiers. The Cobourg Police Services Armoury is also a Doors Open St. George’s Anglican Church is one of 20

sites on this year’s Doors Open Northumberland event that will run June 7 and 8. Photo: Bill Freeman

site. All area men and women who served in World War I passed through the armoury. The life of Captain Charles S. Rutherford, a Colborne area native who returned from the war with the Victoria Cross, Military Cross and Military Medal will be showcased at the Colborne Legion Branch 387. “It was a great event for bringing the community together,” Morrison said of Doors Open 2013. “There were lots of people from outside of Hastings.” For more information visit <www.NorthumberlandTourism. com/DoorsOpen>.

The Wicked Witch of the West (Sophia Chrysochou) confronts Glinda the Good Witch (Erin Conroy), Dorothy Gale (Megan Edwards) and Toto (Autumn Scott) moments after Dorothy’s cyclone-driven house lands on the Wicked Witch of the East.

We’re not in Hastings anymore, we’re in Oz! That’s what audiences have certainly been saying after watching the delightful, colourful and buoyant Hastings Three of the Poppies perform during Hastings Public School’s magnificent and entertaining production of The Wizard of Oz Public School production of The Wizard of Oz which had audiences cheering for more during its six performances which wrap up May 8 and 9 (12:30 p.m. and 6:30 which has been a sold-out success this week. p.m.). In the photo Dorothy Gale (Megan Edwards), the Lion (Antje Kroes), the Scarecrow (Sadie Mees), the Tinman (Caleb McMillan) and Toto (Autumn Scott) get ready for their meeting with the Great and Powerful Oz.

The Munchkins and citizens of Oz helped Dorothy Gale on her way to the Emerald City with a rousing song during Hastings Public School’s delightful and colourful blockbuster production of the Wizard of Oz

Candidates will be asked where they stand on HBM’s LTC proposal By Bill Freeman

News – Havelock – With the clock ticking on the June 12 provincial election, Havelock-Belmont-Methuen council wants to know where Peterborough Riding candidates stand on the township’s proposal for a 128-bed long-term care facility. “This is a real opportune time for council to send a letter to the candidates (with a) copy to the leaders (to) ask what their conditions would be in moving our application into fruition as soon as possible,� mayor Ron Gerow said. “What’s your position and how do you do that?� “We need to get long-term care out there in the forefront,� Gerow said.

The Township has had a plan on the books that would facilitate the building of a 128-bed nursing home on an 18-acre property off Old Norwood Road, which is zoned for a seniors-related development. HBM officials have been waiting since July 2011 to receive a formal reply from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care to an official application they’ve made for LTC bed allocations. Liberal incumbent Jeff Leal is being challenged by Conservative candidate Scott Stewart, New Democratic Party nominee Sheila Wood, Gary Beamish of the Green Party and Independent candidate Brian Martindale. “It’s very important we cc the leaders

as well,� said Gerow. Gerow told council that he had “thought a lot about (the idea of a letter)� since the election was called. “My thinking is that we’ve developed strategies going forward and we’ve dealt with this every way humanly possible to try to make it work,� he said. “We’ve waited two years for an answer from the current government.� “Time is of the essence; we want to make sure we get it out there.� He says he would like to see a letter sent out “sooner rather than later� to give candidates a chance to deal with council’s question. He stressed that the tone of the let-

ter should be “very positive� even about an issue that has frustrated council for more than two years. In a somewhat related but separate discussion, deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe wants council to begin to compile a list of concerns for the next sitting MPP. Deputy mayor Sharpe wants to keep the long term care matter separate from the proposed list. Sharpe cited some recent items that have crossed council’s table like transportation for local dialysis patients, policing costs, reductions in the Ontario Municipal

Partnership Fund, Conservation Authority funding and the Land Titles Electronic Registry System. “It can change with this council too,� he said. It is important that they have the list “streamlined� so that when the MPP is elected and visits the council they are ready with questions. “So we can get our issues on the table right up front,� he said.

The youngsters at the Stepping Stone Preschool in Havelock put on their bunny ears last week for the annual HOP for Muscular Dystrophy. The event for daycare centres, nursery and elementary schools allows children to use their muscles to “help fund raise to fix muscles that don’t.� Muscular Dystrophy Canada supports people affected by over 150 different types of neuromuscular disorders. Stepping Stone is full at the moment and is licensed for 26 children, 16 in its pre-school room and ten in its toddler room. Supervisor Kathy Hamilton says there will be some spaces opening up at the end of June. Stepping Stone will have lots of space in September when 20 of its youngsters head off to full-day kindergarten. Photo: Bill Freeman

24 The Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, May 8, 2014

By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - It’s “very appropriate,” Asphodel-Norwood Mayor Doug Pearcy says of the Railside Rest name given of the township’s newest parkette, a sliver of millpond shoreline that runs from Lions shelter near a rail line to County Road 40 which has been developed into a trail and resting spot. Township council has given its blessing to the name of the small park the Asphodel-Norwood Beautification Committee has championed with the assistance of the Norwood Lions Club which has provided gravel, some landscaping and cleanup to open accessibility between the parkette and Lions shelter. “If the Lions had not put the gravel in it would have been kind of difficult to get down,” says Casey Moon of the Beautification Committee. “It was just a hidden spot with a lot of junk.” When additional shrubbery is planted in the next few weeks “it will be obvious that it’s a nice place to sit,” said Moon. Moon, also a member of the Norwood Millpond Committee which is developing a master trails plan around the pond, says she was studying maps of the area and noticed that spot and checked it out. “It was not be used for anything really,” she said. The Beautification Committee thought it would make a nice resting area offering a view of the historic millpond from a different vantage, Moon explained. The committee has received financial assistance from the Horticultural Society that will be used for plants. “The whole idea is that wherever there is park-like space available why not pre-

serve it for that,” Moon said. The new trail will connect with the millpond’s trail network, she adds. “If you go into the millpond trails and you want to get back into town there’s another little connection there and you can also go over to the Lions Park.” It’s also another place where people walking around town can stop, Moon said. Benches and signage declaring the park’s name will also be part of the development. “It’s a nice little spot.” The Millpond Committee, as part of its master plan, has proposed installing an interpretive kiosk at some point somewhere near the millpond’s Highway #7 entrance that will provide visitors with information about the pond’s rich history as the place where Norwood began. “The Lions were very supportive of preparing the site last year by making the slope down to the area more accessible,” Beautification Committee co-chair Doreen Bell agrees. “Quite a bit more work is needed now that we can get down to the site.” The committee will purchase lilac trees and other perennial trees and will “need a planting party to help dig and plant,” she says. They welcome volunteers and new members. The Norwood Millpond’s trails will be showcased during the third annual International Trails Day with a special celebration June 3 featuring a number of guided tours including those for preschoolers and their families; separate dedicated hikes for elementary and high school students and two family hikes.

Friends cross line together By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - Not only did Community Care’s fourth annual Kilometres for Care break a fund-raising record, it brought together friends in a united effort to support one of the area’s vital volunteer-driven organizations. Two of those friends who were determined to make a difference were Kelly Small, program assistant at Community Care’s Norwood office, and her friend Eryn Coull who runs the monitoring station at Trent Security which oversees the personal distress alarms that Community Care offers as one of their services. The pair both live in the Norwood area and have been friends for the past seven years; the last two have brought them even closer together as business colleagues. Sharing the day together on the new Kilometres for Care course (there were one-, five- and ten-kilometre run/ walks) that started at Trent University’s Otonabee College and continued along parts of the lovely Rotary Trail, was ideal says Small. The two did interval running for the five-kilometre event. “It’s a special and unique partnership that we are lucky to have living here in Norwood, being friends and also working together through our respective organizations,” Small said. “Completing the event together [and] walking across the finish line hand in hand felt great.” The finish, she said, “sort of exemplifies the way we work together to support our clients.” They were joined at the finish line by Eryn’s daughter Olivia.

Town hall needs permanent generator: council By Bill Freeman

News -Norwood - The Norwood Town Hall should have a permanent backup generator because of its designation as an emergency headquarters and evacuation centre, township council has reiterated. Councillors continued their discussion about the need for backup generators for emergency situations and were shocked to learn that the estimated cost of a portable generator that would meet the requirements of the town hall, public works building and community centre could be as high as $69,000. The public works building and community centre are three-phase facilities; the town hall would require a single-phase. “This is an estimate to get an idea of where to go with this,” CAO Joe van Koeverden said. “It is quite expensive. It could work in any of these buildings.” The estimated cost for a permanent 400 amp 120/240 single phase genera-

tor at the town hall is $26,300. “I don’t agree with a portable one,” said Deputy-mayor Joe Crowley. “We should have a permanent generator at the town hall that starts within 15 seconds of the power going out.” The deputy-mayor also strongly favours a permanent generator for the community centre, also a designated evacuation centre, that would provide power to the foyer and Millennium Room. Crowley called any proposal that depended entirely on a portable generator moved from building to building for emergency power a “horse and buggy attitude.” “The portable can only do one building at a time,” Mayor Doug Pearcy added. “That’s the downfall of [that] proposal.” Mayor Pearcy believed council had already decided they would pursue a permanent generator for the town hall with a consideration of a switch for the Trentview Estates pump house that

would allow the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) to hook up its generator so the water system would continue to provide water in the event of a power outage, especially for firefighting needs. “Our municipality deserves to have a permanent single-phase, [automatic start] natural gas generator [at the town hall],” said Crowley. “We’ve got to move forward; if we don’t do it in 2014 then there should be some stipulation that we do it in 2015 budget-wise. Pearcy said staff should look at preparing a request for proposal (RFP) to “get some pricing” for a town hall generator.

ty Care office will benefit directly from some of the proceeds from Kilometres for Care, which raised over $48,000 and drew more than 600 participants, many of them in teams. Kilometres for Care is Community Care’s “signature” fund-raising event and all of the offices in the city and county will share the proceeds. Small wants to continue to “build enthusiasm” for Norwood Community Care’s own fund-raising walkathon which takes place June 7. This will be the nineteenth straight year that Nor-

wood Community Care has hosted a walkathon and Small hopes they are able to exceed last year’s fund-raising total of $1,500. “Like Kilometres for Care, we hope to be able to make this year’s walk bigger and better and continue to grow our support,” she says. Interested walkers can contact the Norwood office at 705-639-5631 or drop into the office during weekdays to register and pick up a pledge sheet. You can also support the event by sponsoring a walker.

Exercise is an essential element of a healthy lifestyle. Including exercise in your daily routine can lower your risk for diabetes, heart disease and stroke, and exercise can even sharpen mental acuity, reduce anxiety and improve mood. But as beneďŹ cial as exercise can be, many men and women, particularly men and women over the age of 50, who have not laced up their sneakers in years are hesitant to begin an exercise regimen for a variety of reasons, potentially putting their longterm health at risk.

Regardless of a person’s age, beginning a new exercise regimen can be intimidating. But it’s especially so for men and women over the age of 50, who might not know where to begin or how to approach adopting a healthier lifestyle. According to the National Institute on Aging, the following are a few points men and women should know as they attempt to improve their physical ďŹ tness with a more active lifestyle. • Exercise is safe even if you have not been physically active in a long time.

Soldier On Relay leaves from Afghanistan Memorial By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - During the six days leading up to the National Day of Honour on May 9, a team of 19 Canadians (current and former military members, RCMP, civilian) who suffered an illness or injury while serving during Canada’s contribution to the Afghanistan mission, will run, walk, and wheel through communities between Trenton and Ottawa. The Soldier On Afghanistan Relay members will take turns carrying a baton holding the last Canadian flag to have flown at the International Security Assistance Force Headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan. The relay is a way for Soldier On to thank Canadians for their incredible support, to honour the sacrifices of a Nation, and to raise awareness of the programs available to ill and injured members. The flag will arrive on Parliament Hill for the National Day of Honour ceremony and will be presented to the Prime Minister, who will accept the flag on behalf of all Canadians. The Soldier On Afghanistan Relay began in Trenton on May 4 and ran through Belleville, Tyendinaga and Napanee on its first day. The launch ceremony involved participation by Member of Parliament for Northumberland-Quinte West Rick Norlock, Mayor John Williams, and He presented an Inukshuk to Mayor John Major-General David Millar, Chief of Williams, the symbol of the journey to recovery, Military Personnel. “We are proud of the brave men each stone supporting another above and below, and women who fought so bravely in the strength of community. “We are so grateful for your support,� he said. Afghanistan,� Millar said to a crowd gathered at the memorial in Bain Park on a cold Sunday morning. Mayor John Williams said it is appropriate this relay is starting here at the site of many repatriations. Major Jay Feyco from Soldier On said he was blessed to be standing here representing the relay. He said ten years ago he had a bad day, like many whose lives were changed forever. He was hit by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan which left him blind in his right eye and his friend dead. “We have to accept new normals now,� he said. “But we don’t have to take the journey alone. We have family and friends.� He said there are many Canadians who were injured mentally and physically, but they are not alone since there is a lot of support. The Soldier On program gives them the tools and has helped hundreds overcome fears and frustration. Thousands more could use that help.

Jobs, energy costs, scandals key issues in provincial election News – Northumberland-Quinte West – The top three vote-getters in NorthumberlandQuinte West in the last provincial election will square off again when Ontarians go to the polls June 12. Progressive Conservative MPP Rob Milligan will be looking to retain the seat he won in 2011 by fewer than 700 votes over Liberal candidate Lou Rinaldi, who represented the riding for two terms, while NDP candidate Kira Mees hopes to move up from her third-place ďŹ nish three years ago. The election was called after NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said her party would not support the Liberals’ budget unveiled May 1. Rinaldi, who has kept active in the party chairing an outreach campaign to reconnect with rural Ontario, said he was “certainly surprisedâ€? by the NDP “pulling the plug but, nevertheless, we’re ready to go.â€? He said last week’s budget, which included proposals for a new mandatory provincial pension plan and a 10-year, $2.5 billion Jobs and Prosperity Fund, “is a good basis for a platform.â€? It provides “wage security ... and

security for folks who retire down the road.â€? Milligan said the ďŹ nancial plan presented by Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne “was a very staunch NDP tax-and-spend budget,â€? and he’s “gladâ€? an election has been called, as are “most Ontarians. “They can’t afford this government, and this government can’t be trusted any longer,â€? he said. Milligan said the scandals that have plagued the Liberals – the gas plants ďŹ asco, “the mismanagement of moneyâ€? at ORNGE, E-health, “the list goes onâ€? -- are “going to be a huge hit for themâ€? and they “will be held to accountâ€? June 12. Rinaldi said “the premier has acknowledged certain things should have been different and there is a process in place to make sure that does not happen again.â€? But he said the PCs also have skeletons in their closet, pointing out that when they last held ofďŹ ce, “they virtually gave away the 407 and since then $17 billion (has) gone to Spain.â€? However, “two wrongs don’t make a right and I accept that, so there are some challenges,â€?

he admitted. Mees said her party chose to withdraw its support when it became “clear that really the promises made in the last budget weren’t kept, such as automobile insurance and the ofďŹ ce of ďŹ scal accountability,â€? leading to the conclusion that minority government “just wasn’t working. “The budget was full of some grand promises ... really designed to distract the voter from the gas plant scandal and mismanagement,â€? she said. Milligan said “the number one issueâ€? he hears from people in the riding is the same as the last election – the rising cost of energy. Mees agreed, saying “people are thinking about their hydro bills and just wondering when are the increases ever going to stop.â€? All three candidates said job creation is key, but they dismissed each other party’s proposals on how to make that happen. Rinaldi scoffed at the Tories’ claim they are “going to create a million jobs over eight years and their mantra is just cut taxes and that will happen. I’m not sure a magic wand will work. That’s been tried

before and it certainly didn’t work.� Mees offered the same view. “We need a job creation plan that’s not just tax cuts,� she said, and results in full-time jobs with “livable� wages, not part-time positions where “you know you just can’t make ends meet.� Milligan said his party’s job creation plans include increasing the number of apprentices being trained to 250,000 over the next eight years to enlarge the province’s highly skilled workforce.

the Water Resources Act from 2012 and those that occurred up until September 2013. “The offences have been discussed with the municipal solicitor and he feels the municipality can take a position of due diligence because of the response the municipality has had to the orders and the letters sent to the municipality by the ministry,â€? said Chisholm. “He feels there has been an active and diligent response to their request.â€? As well, ministry ofďŹ cials approved a pilot study, using a new technology at the wastewater facility. “The ministry receives monthly updates of the progress of that study and, to date, they are satisďŹ ed with the reports we’ve issued,â€? said Chisholm. “This indicates that, at the Ministry of Environment, the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing,â€? said Kerr. “The fact is, we have worked very, very closely with them on the remedial actions we planned on taking. They agreed with those plans and they didn’t work. “Our staff came up with a highly innovative pilot project for solving the problem, presented it and they immediately revised their order and agreed we should go ahead with that remedial action. We’ve been complying all the way along.â€? Martinello wondered if the cost of defending the summons might be more than paying the penalty. “There are times when you realize you’re going to cut your losses by pleading guilty,â€? he said. “I don’t know if we gain any credibility by arguing against the MOE.â€? “I certainly would not suggest pleading guilty,â€? said Councillor Tom Rittwage. “In my personal opinion, it’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. However, after sitting at this table for the past three-and-a-half years, I have come to the realization that some people won’t be satisďŹ ed until we have a new $40 million sewage treatment plant.â€?

“The wastewater pollution control plant operates under an environmental compliance approval issued by the Ministry of Environment and it governs all of the operations of the plant,â€? explained Chisholm. “As part of that, it also lists the discharge limits we are required to meet for efuent quality and it states the reporting requirements when those limits are exceeded. “Under the ammonia policy, if there are repeated exceedances after a certain period of time it has to go to the investigative and enforcement branch.â€? Wastewater ammonia made headlines in 2012, when ministry ofďŹ cials issued an order to ensure the municipality was following an action plan to reduce the levels in the sewage treatment lagoon. And according to a recent wastewater report, the levels are still high. “The ministry has conducted an investigation and, on April 21, they issued a summons to court on June 12,â€?

News – Brighton – Municipal Councillor John Martinello didn’t waste any time getting an agenda item moved from closed session into open discussion at council’s regular meeting on Monday night. “We should have nothing to hide from the taxpayers and I don’t think it serves any good purpose to keep it out of the taxpayers’ view,� he said. “This council has spent a lot of effort on this issue and there has been a lot of concern.� Martinello was referring to a closeddoor report from environmental services manager Catherine Chisholm regarding the wastewater treatment plant and advice that might be subject to solicitorclient privilege. In a recorded vote, Councillors Mary Tadman, Craig Kerr and Mayor Mark Walas agreed with Martinello. It turns out the Municipality of Brighton has been summoned to court by the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE).

Water levels were well below the one in 100 year event By Judy Backus

News - Marmora - A two-week delay in the Crowe Valley Conservation Authority meeting owing to the recent flooding, resulted in Chair Barry Rand opening the May 1 meeting with congratulations to the staff for the smooth handling of the situation which included flood warnings. He indicated there had been a lot of input from lake associations and concerned citizens who phoned CVCA. Local resident Dave Daunter, who was listed as a delegate on the agenda, thanked the CVCA general manager and staff for keeping residents up-to-date on the recent flood conditions. He also cautioned, with regard to possible future administration by Quinte Conservation, that currently, “CVCA Board members have 100 per cent control of the CVCA budget, staff, water levels and the operating costs of our numerous dams in the CVCA watershed.� Ron Gerow followed with a Quinte Conservation Authority proposal update saying he had a good meeting with a Quinte Conservation committee in February, something he referred to as a “worthwhile exercise,� in which he had an opportunity to look at a number of alternatives as to the operation of CVCA. His recommendation that the proposal for Quinte to take over administration and management of CVCA not be pursued, was supported, as was a suggestion that a letter be sent thanking them for their time and input. The 2014 budget, which had been deferred at the February meeting, was passed as written, with a six per cent levy increase to member municipalities. In speaking of financial matters,

Pidduck also talked of the 2013/2014 WECI (Water and Erosion Control Infrastructure) project which was just completed, as being, as far as he knew, the largest undertaken by the authority in the past 25 years. It included the installation of the safety booms at Marmora, Belmont and Wollaston Dams. Additional signage was included in the work as was the manufacture and installation of mobile overhead gantries at Marmora and Belmont dams. These improve staff safety and ease some of the dam operations. As well, a fixed overhead safety line has been installed at Wollaston Dam. The total cost of this work, which was funded at 50 per cent, amounted to $298,000. Pidduck went on to present detailed information relating to the spring freshet, complete with a slide show with photos taken during what was termed a significant flood event. He commented that in preparation for this year’s freshet, that staff had maintained winter levels and flows “as per the dam operations and flood forecast manual.� As well, stop logs were removed throughout the watershed beginning at the end of March. He told the board, “All lakes were either at or very close to their winter level on April 11, a mere four days before the flood warning and retaining the flood storage capacity until the very last moment when snow, rain and temperature conditions changed to start the short intense flood period in comparison to other events.� The 2008 flood warning lasted for 21 days compared to this year’s nine. Over the course of a few short days, major lakes in the system, he said, “rose approximately

on average three feet in a very short span of time—four to six days.� Throughout the days of the warning, which began on April 15, the CVCA office remained open 24 hours a day. Pidduck spoke of the use of e-mail, the web site, and Facebook as well as the traditional fax and phone, the result being that information reached a larger group, among those, municipalities, cottage associations, board members, and the general public. Under the heading of Lessons Learned, he commented that, “Social media is an excellent communication tool for the CVCA to ensure its message is distributed to the widest group of interested people as possible and is as instant as possible—essential, especially when so much is happening to our neighbours to the east and west of the CVCA.� He continued, saying that as significant as it was, the flood could have been much worse, “as the one in 100 year levels are still considerably higher - even two to three feet higher than what was recorded this year.� In thanking staff for their dedication and commitment, Pidduck noted, “The 2014 flood event came on quickly and was a significant volume of water to pass through the river systems.� He concluded saying he firmly believed that “the event was handled in a professional manner in the field through stop log adjustments, communicated successfully to a wider list of our stakeholders, media and municipalities than ever before and all staff continued that level of service throughout the entire flood warning period.�

Open house attracts a crowd

By Judy Backus

News - Marmora - A steady stream of residents arrived at the Community Centre on May 2 where an open house, hosted by Tim Ankenman of Ankenman Marchand Architects and Jim Perkins of FairTradeWorks, regarding the potential development of a 74-acre parcel of land which includes one kilometre of shoreline on Crowe Lake at 621 Cook Road, a property formerly known as Crowhill Estates. The purpose of the meeting, the second one relating to the matter, was, as the invitation indicated, intended “to provide you with the results gathered from the first Public Open House as well as present a development plan for the site that stems from all the valuable feedback we received on February 5 ‌â€? The open house was scheduled to run from 4 to 7 p.m. and within an hour of the doors opening, more than 50 people, both individual residents and those representing various organizations and groups, had arrived to get an update on the proposal. It was stressed in the invitation: “No development/rezoning application has been made because prior to doing so we wanted to hear from you, the surrounding community, first - prior to making a formal application.â€? As at the first event, there were large poster boards set up on easels, this time outlining the progress made and summarizing the responses to the first exit surveys which were completed by those who attended on the snowy night of February 5. One of the panels indicated “a twostorey, mixed use development was preferred by the majority of people. A combination of town homes, single family, and small retail shops was supported. In terms of commercial activities, people felt a marina/public dock (including boat fuelling facility) and cafe or restaurant were most desirable. One respondent suggested a long-term-care facility be considered. Additional input indicated that most favoured a Muskoka cabin architectural style in keeping with the surroundings. One posted statement read, “The majority of respondents felt strongly

that if well managed, this project could bring much needed employment and tourism that would generate long-term economic benefits to the area.� It was also noted that the majority of those who completed the survey indicated a wish to remain involved and felt the project was heading in the right direction. All aspects of the endeavour had been examined including those relating to the environment, which, as stated in one of the many pieces of information, could result in both fisheries’ and shoreline restoration and rehabilitation. As well, it was pointed out that native trees and shrubs would be planted and old septic beds removed. With regard to recreation, a number of possible amenities were mentioned, among them a yoga studio, public beach, a picnic area, a public walkway, a gym, a gas dock and small marina, as well as a club house with an outdoor pool. The development has the potential for up to 170 single family homes located on 40 by 100 foot lots, with some commercial facilities, a seniors lodge and two-storey apartments. The next step is to analyze the surveys which were completed that evening, and, as Ankenman said, “see if we need to make any major changes. If we do, we will, and if from the response we feel like we are heading in the right direction, we would start to put together the remaining reports that need to be done - the environmental report, the archaeological report, the technical report, the lake study report, and then make a formal application.� This would be made to Hastings County. When asked about the time frame involved with the development, he suggested it would take many years. It was stressed that input from the public relating to ideas, preferences, visions and concerns was welcome in order to, as was mentioned, “help better develop and fine tune the land use plan that was presented this evening prior to us making a formal application.� For additional information, Ankenman can be contacted at <tim@ amarchitects.com>.

He likes other cats and I’m sure he would be good with a dog if introduced properly. Houston has had some quite adventurous times. Houston needs to be an indoor only cat and would be a good fit in just about any forever home. Please remember kitten season is here and we need loving foster homes so we can rescue some of the helpless ones and find them loving forever homes. Without foster homes we are unable to rescue and the cats and kittens will have to be returned to an undeserved life outside without the love and care they should have.

Badminton stars have “cemented themselves as elite athletes”

By Bill Freeman

Sports – Asphodel-Norwood – No athlete at Norwood District High had won an OFSAA gold medal until Jenna Baptie and Dan Widdis took to the court at the provincial high school badminton championships last week. The mixed doubles team earned gold in the “B” Flight, capping a run of six straight match wins at the Markham tourney before stepping on the podium. Their teammates Emma Smith and Alanna Reed earned a “B” Flight antique bronze for their fourth place finish in the women’s doubles. With those performances the quartet have “certainly cemented themselves as elite athletes that we’re going to miss,” coach Jeff Winslow told The Independent. All four graduate from NDHS this year leaving some big shoes to fill and plenty of inspiration for younger players. “I hope to see some of them back at the school Tuesday nights helping me,” says Winslow, who more than anybody knows how good their performances have been over the years. Between the four, he says, they can boast 12 COSSA gold medals, two OFSAA gold, two

OFSAA silver and two OFSAA bronze as well as two Ontario Winter Games silver medals. That doesn’t even take into consideration Kawartha and regional championship play. Smith retires from NDHS undefeated never having lost in high school play outside of OFSAA; Baptie and Reed have not lost since grade nine and Widdis “came through the ranks and put in his time” finishing fifth at COSSA in grade 11, fourth at COSSA last year and in his fifth year “really kicked it up” to win gold with Baptie at COSSA and then at his first OFSSA showdown. “We went up with optimal expectations but you always prepare for the worst,” Winslow said of the provincial finals. He thought Smith and Reed would have been in “C” Flight or the low “B” Flight this year but their “experience and composure carried them further, “They won some close games against some good teams and got to the semis and knew they were going to medal.” For Baptie and Widdis, a switch in tactics following a loss in the first game of their three set

3rd Annual “PUTT FOR PUCKS” Charity Golf Tourny

gold medal match was the turning point. NDHS has had athletes at OFSAA badminton for five straight years and Winslow says “success breeds success. “I’m already thinking about next year and combinations that are going to work. We will struggle to keep up with what we’ve accomplished this year but you go with what you’ve got, hope for the best and work hard.”

He says the Knights like the “challenge” of “having that target on our back” when they go to local tourneys. “We quite enjoy that.” The badminton team is in “uncharted territory” with the school’s first-ever OFSAA gold. “It was a big accomplishment. We’re just trying to enjoy it because who knows when it will come around again.”

Split decisions give Currie a silver Sports - Michelle Currie had a couple of hard fought battles recently at the 35th Annual Tora Judo Championships in Brampton. Currie had moved up a weight category, competing against an opponent from Thunder Bay. Currie said, “If I had more time, I would have beat him,” as she was wearing him down. However, her opponent was deemed the more aggressive of the two in the three-minute matches, losing in split decisions by the referee and judges in both matches. There was even a score taken away from Currie in the final seconds of the last match. Seeing this, the Quinte Judo Club member did not leave the mat until her

34 The Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, May 8, 2014

coach received clarification. While Judo competitions are always full contact in attempting to throw or pin your opponent, for this age category competitors are not allowed to apply chokes or arm locks in efforts to subdue their opponents. At club practice, everyone still gets up off the mats with a smile though, as the word Judo actually translates to “the gentle way”, where the goal is to subdue your opponent, not injure them.

By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - The final classes in the 64th Annual Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise wrapped up last week and organizers have invited the top finishers to participate in this weekend’s Stars of the Festival concert, scheduled for Friday at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Church.

Open to the public, the evening show features participants in many disciplines from scripture reading to instrumental performance, who took part in the two-week festival held at both the church and the Stirling Festival Theatre. Festival Committee President Donna Russett says the

event was once again a huge success, offering encouragement and incentive to young performers as well as a platform for competitive musicians and singers. As a member of the Ontario Music Festivals Association, the Festival of Sacred Praise has accreditation to send participants on to provincial competition at the recommendation of adjudicators. But the festival is more about encouraging young people than about competition, Russett says, noting during her many years of involvement there are plenty of familiar faces returning each year. School and church groups as well as individuals and families are represented in the annual celebration that this year ran from April 22 to May 2. Classes in various categories including vocal, instrumental and scripture, are presented and adjudicated as part of the regional competition with constructive criticism and advice provided by the invited judges.

of the SAR team to the test. This provides 424 Squadron’s SAR crews, and the crews of partner agencies, invaluable interaction and exposure to how SAR operations are conducted and how they can better work together in responding to life-saving calls. Scenarios throughout the week include a simulated aircraft crash at Mont Cascades, simulated maritime distress at the Cumberland-Masson ferry, and other simulated crash scenarios in more remote locations of the Gatineau hills. “TIGEREX 2014 serves to exercise a multi-day major search with operations taking place away from the Squadron’s main operating base,” said LieutenantColonel Jean Bernier, Commanding Officer of 424 Squadron. “In

such circumstances, our partner organizations from the areas of operation usually help during the search, requiring large scale cooperation and co-ordination. This exercise provides 424 Squadron great training opportunities and exposure to such an environment.” Volunteer SAR organizations such as the Sauvetage et recherche aériens du Québec (SERABEC) and the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA), with whom 424 Squadron regularly works, are annual participants of TIGEREX. This year’s exercise will also include participation of the Sureté du Québec, Ontario Provincial Police, and local paramedics and fire rescue crews from the Gatineau area. 424 Squadron is based in 8

World War I commemoration planned

man

By Diane Sherman

Lifestyles - Madoc - This year marks the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of “the ďŹ rst Great War,â€? World War I, the ďŹ rst global war known to civilization. The war involved economic powers from around the world with over nine million combatants killed. It became known as the deadliest war in history. The war was touched off by the assassination of the Archduke of Austria, Franz Ferdinand, on June 28, 1914. August 4, 1914, Britain declared war on Germany, and when the call went out for recruits, thousands of new Canadians, as part of the British Dominion, were called into a Canadian expe-

Dr. Charles Morris Godfrey was born in September of 1917. His father was wounded in that ďŹ rst war as a mem-

who lived during that tumultuous time. A $150 prize is being offered as incentive for local students to produce a poster depicting events of the Great War.

“The women’s institutes did a great deal of work both during and after both the wars.� Godfrey says there were 39 casualties from the Madoc region. “Their names are shown on local cenotaphs thanks to members of the Harts-Riggs Women’s Institute.� He credits the Women’s Institute with pressuring local authorities to build the cenotaphs (both in Madoc Village and Cooper) whereupon all the names are listed. “The women’s institutes did a great deal of work both during and after both the wars.� The public is invited to share their stories at the library June 21, review the posters, and enjoy light refreshments followed by the poster prize award and a presentation of Madoc at War.

Charles attempted to become an air force pilot in World War II, but, after ďŹ nding he had problems with depth of perception, had to revert to serving in a medical rehabilitation capacity as a trained physiotherapist.

Durkin tells crime story with poetry By Richard Turtle

Entertainment – Stirling – After leaving the area for several years, poet Martin Durkin has returned to Stirling with his wife Kelly, and he admits things are much quieter here. But while the couple was living in Hamilton, Durkin says, he fell in love with the city and drew much inspiration from the colourful characters in their neighbourhood. “I just soaked up the atmosphere there,� he says of the years spent in construction while Kelly completed a Master’s degree. “It’s both beautiful and tough,� Durkin says of the city known for its steel. And it is also the subject of his most recent book of poems, entitled Steel Town For Mary: Memoirs From a dick, now available on the Internet and at selected locations. “It’s a love letter to Hamilton,� he says, “but I think anyone can appreciate it.�

Stirling resident and poet Martin Durkin recently released his third book of poetry, Steel Town For Mary: Memoirs From a Dick, and will be reading excerpts at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library on May 22 at 6:30 p.m. Photo: Richard Turtle

Intrigued by the idea of working on a collection of combining poetry with a de- poems that follow the career tective story, Durkin began of a private eye. The ďŹ nal re-

sult, he says, has so far been very well received. Durkin explains that with little real knowledge of the craft, he began writing poetry as a student at Nicholson, continuing while studying journalism at Loyalist. He was encouraged by readers, fellow writers and teachers to continue and many of those were published in his ďŹ rst book, Hypnotic Childhood, also featuring some of his photography. A second collection, The Sound of Quish, he describes as, “more mature,â€? but confesses, “I still hadn’t really learned the craft.â€? Later, while working at the Trentonian, he was introduced to the work of acclaimed local poet Al Purdy and that, Durkin says, was an eye-opener. “I realized that I had a hell of a lot to learn.â€? So he continued to write but at the same time began to seriously study the

work of others. That led to weekend readings and the publishing of several of his poems in various anthologies, but he remained haunted by a detective story that was coming from Hamilton. So he started to write it down, he says, as it might have appeared in a notebook. Durkin returned to Stirling and is now living in the home his grandparents, Jack and Mary Doran, used to own. Soon after moving in in the fall of 2012, the couple discovered a cache of his grandmother’s old drawings and sketches dating back to the 1930s. One of those found its way onto the cover of Durkin’s Steel Town, featuring a reected skyline of the city

and designed by his wife. Durkin is planning a homecoming of sorts when he will be reading poems from the book at a launch being held at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library, where years ago his grandfather served as a board member. The launch is scheduled for Thursday, May 22, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Copies will be available at the launch or can be ordered online. For regular details on how to purchase follow: <http:// crazyirishman.wordpress. com> or <https://www.facebook.com/crazyirishmanpoetry>. The book is available in ebook on Kobo and Amazon and blurb.ca and in hard cover at blurb.ca.

Automobile racing in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - Back in the early 1950s (between 1950 and 1952), the tiny village of Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, became world famous for its open-road race circuits. Top sports car drivers would descend on this particular village each summer and race through the winding, hilly, narrow road circuits. Hay bales, snow fences, and screaming fans lined the challenging, dangerous routes. The 1950 road circuit, held on a public highway, was 3.3 miles long, and fans could simply line the route and watch for free (although programs were sold for 50 cents). By 1951, news of the big event was spreading further afield, and more race fans were arriving. The road course expanded to 6.6 miles in length and circumnavigated Elkhart Lake. By 1952, it was estimated that well over 100,000 fans attended the weekend event, and it was becoming apparent that safety for both the fans and the drivers was becoming much more of an issue. No one had been killed here as yet, but race drivers had skidded off the road and landed in blueberries and poison ivy, and some thought that it was only a matter of time before a real tragedy might occur. A ten-year-old spectator was killed at Watkins Glen, New York, that same year, and it was decided that the era of the road race must come to an end! Fourteen historical markers are now placed around these two winding circuits, to commemorate the big names and events that occurred here

back then, and these openroad routes are now listed on the Wisconsin and National Register of Historic Places. Today, visitors can drive or bike around the old circuits and check them out, and I, of course, did that very thing when I was in Elkhart Lake recently. I was particularly interested in the names that I found on those markers, which included “Hard Left,” “Ted’s Turn,” “Peck’s Alley,” “Dickens Ditch,” “Hamill’s Hollow,” and “Wacker’s Wend.” I also tried to imagine what it would have been like back then in the tiny village, with its population of less than 1,000, hosting such crowds and what such an event would mean to the local economy! Well, apparently some of the locals were also thinking about the economical impact back then, too, and it was decided to build a permanent 4.05-mile road circuit (with 14 turns and several elevation changes) in what had been a sand and gravel pit. “Road America,” affectionately known as “America’s National Park of Speed,” was opened in 1955, and it now hosts over 400 events annually, including the NASCAR Nationwide Series, the SPEED World Challenge, the American LeMans series, Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) events, several vintage car races, a Vintage Motorcycle Classic, and the AMA Superbike series. There’s also an annual Road America Walk/Run for the American Cancer Society, the Road America Inline Challenge, and the Tour de Road America (a bicycle

FRANKLIN COACH & TOURS

There are six entrances to “Road America” and on-site camping.

I actually participated in the ATV Adventure Program, so I had the opportunity to use one of their Suzuki four-wheel, all-terrain vehicles on the groomed trails. I even took a bridge across the race track and then dealt with the trail’s steep descents and ascents and rocky terrain. It was a blast! I met Mary Lou Haen, Road America’s Marketing and Promotions Director, and I learned there’s no reserved seating here, even on race weekends. Visitors can sit where they wish—in the stands or on the grounds—and there are camping facilities on the premises, too (locations and pricing vary by event). For more information about Road America’s programs, events and pricing, visit the web site <www.roadamerica.com>. As a result of Elkhart Lake’s racing history and state-of-the-art facilities, many race car drivers and celebrities including Mario Andretti, Roger Penske, Bobby Rahal, Paul Tracy, Dario Franchitti, Carl Edwards, Patrick Dempsey, Michael Jordan, Paul Newman, and Tom Cruise have visited this destination. Perhaps you will, too.

ride on the track to raise money to fight cancer). I visited “Road America,” and I actually got right out on the track itself for some photos. I also dined in one of its VIP suites and then watched some riding school participants “doing their thing” on the asphalt circuit. I also learned about the facility’s teen driving program, motorcycle school, and high performance driving program. In the latter, participants learn advanced car control techniques through a series of drills that involve braking, cornering, and acceleration. I also discovered that there’s an opportunity, at times, to even drive one’s own car around the course, or to take “a ride of a lifetime” as a passenger in a pace car! The 640-acre site also offers “Adventure Programs,” including paintball, karting, ATV explorations, and geocaching (technological scavenger hunts), and these are proving to be very popular with corporate groups for team building exercises. I’m right on the track to get this photo (between races). (above) Race cars on the track at “Road America.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth:

By Dan Clost

Dan Clost

Lifestyles - Those cold rainy days of November, which showed up for a reprise this past April have finally gone not counting May 1, 2, and 3 of course. What a lousy month for antsy gardeners! Gentle Reader, welcome to a normal spring. We have been led astray these past four or five years with uncommonly benign Aprils and a return

April showers, winter reprise and varmints to normalcy has caught us off guard. This has been a super winter for both herbaceous and woody perennials … and varmints. It has been a lousy year for unprotected shrubs and young trees as well as big old shade trees. We had a nice fall, with good frosts that hardened off plants just the way they should be. We received a nice bit of snow to provide protection for the aforementioned perennials. All was well. Then the first ice storm blew through the region taking down the first offering of tree branches. However, that was not the real story. (Keep in mind that this is from a gardening perspective, folks, and in no way is meant to take away from problems because of fallen trees and power outages.) An ice sheet formed about 6”- 8” above the ground which provided the perfect barrier to protect little rodents from predators. Mice nibbled away delicately and voles chowed down voraciously on any woody material they found. The

rabbits carried on as they normally do. And the snow fell. And the snow fell. And the snow fell. Then a second ice storm swept through leaving a trail of debris in its wake. It battered previously weakened tree limbs but, more seriously, it also left another, higher layer of ice allowing the little varmints to move up in the world. Combined with the greater amounts of snow, this new layer was above most of our rodent protection, especially tree wraps and fencing. So even though you did everything right in the fall, GR, you were done in by the late winter weather. If your plant is girdled more than half way round you’re better off to accept that it is finished. However, don’t toss it on the compost heap just yet. Some early flowering plants (magnolia and crab-apples come to mind) just might have enough stored food in the upper branches to support flowering before turning into vertical firewood. You

have nothing to lose. Non-grafted, or “own root” plants should put out new shoots; think roses from the Explorer, Parkland, and Flower Carpet series. At our nursery, we faced two challenges. We had to add an extra stage of fencing, making our protection 8’ high in spots and, with drifting, it still wasn’t high enough! Flopsy and kin casually stepped over the three or four inches still poking out of the snow and dined on tender bark and stems normally well beyond their normal foraging zone. The second challenge was the ice. Our hoop houses are about 20’ apart and, when the storms are nor’easters, the snow can collect between them. That’s usually not an issue. Add in two ice storms and some sunny days between them. (Yes, there were instances when the sun shone and I know this because I reviewed the logs; but like you, I sure don’t remember them.) The eight-foot-high drifts melted into one massive ice sheet. We

were very impressed with the ability of the supporting members to accept this weight. And then a windstorm came. The combination of the weight and the wind pressure was too much and 20 sections collapsed. Back to varmints for a moment; we haven’t taken off our tree guards yet and probably won’t for another week. There are just too many rabbits cluttering up the neighbourhood and not enough foxes and owls to manage them. On a different train of thought, but still keeping with varmints (I keep hearing Yosemite Sam spouting off whenever I use that word.) squirrels have done their bit with our fall planting of bulbs. This year, because of their numbers, we stayed away from tulips and popped in a huge number of daffodils and smaller bulbs. The daffs are all coming up when and where they should be but the muscari, squills, crocus, galanthus and so on have been transplanted by those busybodies. Sigh.

Art in the Park festival largest in its four years

Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Rick Norlock announced last Friday that the federal government was providing $8,400 in funding to the Warkworth Art (and Music) in the Park festival, sponsored by the Warkworth Business Association. Ruth Wojtiuk is chair of the organizing committee and Howard Baer will be one of the musicians performing, as a member of the (Michael) Monis Baer duo. “A wide range of mediums form fine art to music to sculpture ensures there will be something for visitors of all ages,” Wojtiuk said.

News - Warkworth - This year’s edition of the Warkworth Art (and Music) in the Park “will be the largest and most exciting” in its four-year history, says the chair of the organizing committee. “We’re very excited,” Ruth Wojtiuk said, pointing to the record number of artists, 31, who will be taking part in the Warkworth Business Association event May 17 and 18. There will be “new artists who have not exhibited before as well as some returning ones,” she said, and new musicians joining “seasoned veterans.” Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts will have a new art installation and there will be entertainment for children at Warkworth Memorial Hall. “We always try to keep it fresh and interesting,” Wojtiuk said. To top it off, she also predicted the weather will be good, “so people will want to come out [for the] lovely music, wonderful food, fabulous art,” with

The amount is slightly more than was received last year by the association, which has been supported by federal dollars since the event began. The longer festivals last and “show a success

News - Trent Hills - As the 13th annual Spring Revival was drawing to a close, organizer John Graham was hoping to cap off the weekend by setting a Guinness world record. He missed it by five bottle caps. The owner of ChurchKey Brewing at Petherick’s Corners where the revival was held had hoped to break a record set in Texas of 110

bottles being opened in one minute. But the best he could do on two tries was 106, two fewer than he managed a year ago. And he nicked a finger in the effort. “You’re going as fast as you can,” sometimes the neck bottles break. “It’s one of those things I can’t practise for because there are very few opportunities to open a 100 bottles of beer,” he said in advance of the record

bid. “We have to do it at an event like this.” While Graham was no doubt disappointed at falling short of his goal— “room to improve,” he quipped—he can take comfort in knowing the festival raised $2,242 in support of the Blues in the Schools program that’s offered to schools in Trent Hills. That’s in addition to the $1,500 Peggy Voigt, president of the Loyal Blues Fellowship Inc., accepted from Matt Archer. He presented the donation in memory of his brother, Jesse Archer, a popular musician who performed at Spring Revival, before he was shot to death in 2010. This is the third year Church-Key has turned over proceeds to the Blues in the Schools. “It was Matt’s family that helped us choose this charity and we’ve been really happy with it,” Graham said. “It makes a difference. It’s such a neat musical town … We’re grooming kids from really young to be fantastic musicians and it shows up on the national stage.” Blues in the School has introduced to the area in 2005.

He spent time with junior, middle and senior classes, in Campbellford and Warkworth, teaching them basic blues progression and blues history, Voigt said, “and then writing words to their own blues songs” and performing them in front of the rest of the school in an assembly. “Having events like this support us is fantastic,” she said.

News - Trent Hills - Residents in low-lying areas are being told it’s “imperative” they keep sandbags in place around their homes as water levels slowly decrease. The municipality issued a press release May 2 saying water levels in many areas are still above those recorded in 2008, the last time there was major flooding. A state of emergency that was declared April 24 also remains in effect. Trent Hills will not be picking up any of the sandbags that were delivered to flooded sites and residents. Recipients were encouraged to store the sandbags for future use after water levels have returned to normal, and to protect them from direct sunlight. To help homeowners prepare for “the eventual flood recovery,” the municipality prepared an information package on such things as removing mould, disinfecting wells, and returning to service septic systems that had been flooded. About 1,500 letters were sent out to residents in flooded areas letting them know the packages are available at the municipal office or online. Residents in low-lying areas were “strongly advised” to not use well water for any purpose and to keep children and pets away from all floodwaters and “potentially contaminated standing water.” A OPP marine unit patrolling the waters was enforcing a “no wake” rule put into effect on waterways near

New ways of worship a “breath of fresh air” By John Campbell

News - Brighton - Area members of the United Church looking for new ways to express their faith were shown how at the Breath of Fresh Air Fair held last Saturday at Trinity-St. Andrew’s. “Oftentimes in our churches things get a little stale, they get a little routine and we do the same things over and over,” and the results aren’t always what’s expected, said the Reverend Cathy Grandante. “So it’s nice to have an opportunity where you can actually experience something different and maybe you can take that home to your own congregation,” feeling “energized and enthusiastic about your church.” The event was the first of its kind to take place in the Hills and Shores Presbytery (part of the Bay of Quinte Conference of the United Church of Canada). The area encompasses churches in Brighton, Cobourg, Belleville, Quinte West and Trent Hills. “Part of our mandate is to have a learning and education faith formation opportunity for members of the presbytery,” said Grandante, minister for Seymour Pastoral Charge in Trent Hills. The fair included taize and cafe worship, “messy church,” Biblical story tell-

ing, non-traditional music and liturgical dancing. It’s about “rejuvenation,” said the Reverend Janet Stobie, who led the group in taize worship, which involves sung and chanted prayers, along with a period of silence, to achieve spiritual growth. The author of several books, she also conducted a story-telling session, accompanied by a harpist, matching a modern-day story with passages from the Bible. They were “meant to be spoken, not read out of a book, [which is] kind of dull and boring,” Grandante said. This way of telling the story “enlivens it and gives it a little more meaning for people.” The Breath of Fresh Air Fair, which ran four-and-ahalf hours, started off at 10 a.m. with cafe worship, with all those in attendance sitting together at tables, enjoying a cup of tea or coffee, talking about their faith. “It’s not something we do very often, and it’s kind of scary I know,” Gradante said, but it’s a way “to build community with one another.” Messy church “came out of the Anglican tradition,” in which different generations gather together to sing, work at a craft and share a meal, she said. Scobie said the United Church introduced messy

church in recent years because “young families often don’t make time to come to church on Sunday mornings … for whatever reason.” It often takes place on another day of the week during the supper hour. “There isn’t this sitting in pews,” she said. “It’s very, very relaxed.” The non-traditional music included

“lively pieces” by jazz musicians that fit “quite well” with the day’s non-conventional forms of worship. Stobie, who’s retired and lives in Peterborough, said older members of the church get “used to things being the way they are” but “anything you do the same for a long period of time becomes routine [and] loses its energy.

“That’s why there’s a need God’s spirit to come in [to to have this breath of fresh generate] new ideas and new air,” she said. “It’s asking for experiences for people.”

Will Howson, of Howson’s Pure Maple Syrup and Honey, near Hastings was there to show her their product. “This is our third year at the market and we like to come here,� he told the Trent Hills Independent. “We’re here every week.� The Howsons sell not only pure maple syrup and honey but bee pollen too. “Some people like to put it on their porridge or in their salad,� he said. “We recommend to anyone who buys the bee pollen that they try a small amount first just in case of any allergies. You have no idea where the bees got the pollen,� he explained. Between eight and 13 vendors set up booths on the municipal parking lot and closed-off section of River Street. Their wares include fresh fruit and vegetables, herbs, perennials, annuals, beef, eggs, honey, maple syrup, baked goods and crafts. Bill Shea of Campbellford was buying some lavender from the Vaughans on opening day For Shea shopping at the market is an experience he enjoys on a regular basis. “I like the fact it is local, I like the fact this lady’s produce is organic and you can pretty much find whatever you want here ... and if you don’t then ask,� he said with a grin. For the Vaughans and others who sell their produce and goods at the market it’s all a matter of going with the flow, which means dealing with whatever Mother Nature hands out.

Traffic arrives for annual auto flea market By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - Traffic in the village was predictably heavy last weekend as the Stirling Agricultural Society hosted its Annual Automotive and Antique Flea Market at the fairgrounds. Organizers and volunteers say that despite the cool and drizzly weekend weather, crowds were heavy through much of the day on Saturday, where available parking spaces were quickly filled, with strong attendance on Sunday as well.

Sunday saw even cooler temperatures and a significant drop in numbers but visitors continued to arrive throughout the morning. And while the weather may have made for shorter days for many visitors, and resulted in some vendors packing up early, comments from visitors and exhibitors alike were extremely favourable.

News – Campbellford – The tale of how a puppy named Henry brought home the real reason why fund-raising events such as the Bark for Life walk-a-thon and the Trent Hills Relay for Life are so important. Virginia Hendricks, who lost her husband to cancer in 2008, spoke to walkers gathered last Sunday about just how much Henry means to her and the role he played during her husband’s battle to fight cancer. “My husband was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer in December 2008. On January 2, 2009 on our 55th wedding anniversary, we were told that Ross had six weeks to live without treatment or six months with aggressive treatment, chemo and radiation. He chose treatment,” she bravely told

walkers gathered for the walk-athon. Hendricks told her story of their search for a puppy at a kennel when “Henry came out from another room looked at Ross and curled up on his feet.” “Whether Ross was in bed or in his favourite chair Henry would cuddle up with him and stay with him. Eventually Ross had to go into palliative care and when I would go to the hospital every day I would tell Henry he had to watch the house. Henry would look at me then go curl up in Ross’s chair and wait for me to come home,” she explained. “Ross lived 12 months and Henry is still with me. Ross’s chair is still Henry’s favourite place to snuggle in,” she added. Her story touched the hearts of all the walkers who were there to

raise money for cancer research. “We are all here today because cancer affects your lives one way or another,” said Emily Vassiliadis, Relay for Life fund-raising coordinator at the Peterborough office of the Canadian Cancer Society. While the walkers headed onto the track at the Campbellford fairgrounds, dozens of people gathered inside the Red Barn where they registered their teams and picked up kits for this year’s Trent Hills Relay for Life, which will take place September 5 from 7 p.m. to 12:01 a.m. The special rally held in conjunction with the Bark for Life walk-athon, gave team captains the opportunity to gather the information they need to make this year’s event another success. “Today is the captain’s rally. We encouraged new and old to come

McGee is already working on her next campaign, “Cancer shouldn’t come in a candy wrapper – end the flavour,” as she fights to stop the sale of candy flavoured cigarettes filled with tobacco. “Research showed in 2012, 52 per cent of children in grades 6 to 12 have already tried these products,” said McGee, armed with statistics. She will be taking her message to this

Our two main presenters will be Barry W. Bussey, VP Legal Affairs, Canadian Council of Christian Charities. Barry has also represented the International Religious Liberty Association at the United Nations in New York and Geneva. Also speaking is Lincoln E. Steed,

Derby looking for the Usain Bolt of goats

News – Campbellford – Bet you didn’t know there’s more to goats than milk and cheese. They’re also topnotch athletes, says Debbie Nightingale, a Nigerian dwarf goat breeder in Trent Hills. You can judge for yourself when the Trent Hills Goat Derby makes its debut at the inaugural Incredible Edibles Festival July 12 (10 a.m to 4 p.m.) The derby will be run in downtown Campbellford and there are no limitations on ages of owners or goats. Nightingale, a member of the

festival committee, says she got the idea for the event from an article she read about the Falmouth Goat Races in Pennsylvania where they’ve been a huge draw for 34 years. The president of the Falmouth races has been invited to judge at the Trent Hills Goat Derby. “We’re really excited, Nightingale says of the derby, adding: “We are expecting big crowds for the Incredible Edibles Festival. So the Goat Derby will be a terrific opportunity for a lot of people to see that goats aren’t just

good for milk and cheese – they can also be elite athletes!” There will be prizes for firstand second-place goats (and their owners/human handlers) as well as for best-dressed goat, and most entertaining run. Registration forms and rules are available at www.incrediblediblesfestival.com or by email at incredibleediblesfestival@ gmail.com. The Derby is sponsored by Haute Goat – celebrating the joy of all things goat. www.hautegoat.com
