Pedal for Hope team visits Hillcrest Public School By Sue Dickens
News - Campbellford - Hundreds of hands reached out to the Pedal for Hope cyclists as the students of Hillcrest Public School cheered the arrival of the Peterborough team. Pupils lined the walkway in front of the school to greet the team members, ofďŹ cers from the Peterborough LakeďŹ eld Community Police, Peterborough city police, OPP and RCMP. Ryan Mitchell and Kierstynn Westall, of Grade 6, were among those welcoming the Pedal for Hope team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like doing this because it helps people with cancer,â&#x20AC;? said Ryan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of family members that have had cancer and I think this is a really good thing to do because it fundraises money to ďŹ nd a cure for cancer which is a really good thing,â&#x20AC;? said Kierstynn. A few minutes later everyone assembled in the school gymnasium to celebrate the fundraising, many students agreeing to have their heads shaved and pony tails cut off to be donated. School Principal Constance Hodson joined in and had her hair shaved for the cause. Rachel Winsley, a Grade 5 student and the top fundraiser who raised $300 told the Independent, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am doing it for my momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend; she is like an aunt to me and she is a cancer survivor.â&#x20AC;?

News - Hastings - Hastings Public School has crowned its Spelling Bee champions. Autumn Scott, Alex Kroes, Caleb McMillan and Gabrielle Vaillancourt emerged victorious from the nerve-racking challenge of spelling words perfectly in front of judges and students; it’s not something everyone can do, even those who pride themselves on accuracy when it comes to that particular aspect of language arts. For Grade 4 student Autumn Scott, being an avid reader pays big dividends and has helped her to become a confident speller. “Language is one of my better subjects because I do read a lot and I do think I’m a better speller because I read so many books,” Autumn said. “There are tricky words and you have to get them explained to understand them and it’s easier [to spell].” “You had to really practice the words but once you practiced them they were easier,” added Grade 8 student Gabrielle Vaillancourt. “It is a little more difficult to do it in front of the judges and the school,” Grade 6 student Alex Kroes admitted. Alex calmed himself by “thinking of other things.” He also had the advantage of participating in last year’s spelling bee at Fleming College. Autumn says her experience in plays and other performances made it easier to

stand up in front of her peers and spell words. “I do get nervous but not as nervous as some people,” she said. “There are a few words I have trouble with but usually if I slow down I can get them.” Students had 30 seconds to spell the words and were allowed to ask the judges to repeat the word if they were not sure. The quartet advanced to the Rotary Club of Peterborough fourth annual Spelling Bee at Fleming College. The first-place school receives $1,000 toward a literacy project while the second-place school receives $250. Individual prizes include a Kobo Reader, a Tablet or Apple iPad.

Walk-a-thon for the Bridge Hospice sets a record
News - Warkworth - Bright yellow rubber ducks racing down Mill Creek was not the only highlight that created excitement at the fifth annual Walk-a-thon for the Bridge Hospice on Saturday. The fundraising event raised a record-setting $8,000. There were 54 participants who were involved with the walk and registered as being a part of the pledge portion. There were more than 100 people involved altogether including some who just came to see the duck race and others who were volunteering. “This is a great turnout on a wonderful morning and I just want to thank you for taking the time to walk and support the Bridge Hospice,” said Dr. Bob Henderson, chair of the Hospice Board. “It’s a local building but it’s much more than that, it’s about the people who provide much-needed end-oflife service to our community for people throughout Northumberland County and beyond,” he added. Gathered for the start of the walk-a-thon, which featured one-, two- and fivekilometre routes, walkers of
all ages, individually and in teams, met with one goal in mind, to support what is the first residential hospice in Northumberland County. Dr. Henderson kept things upbeat with his humour and wit as he prepared to don some hip waders to capture the winning duck. “There’s a lot of anticipation for the dramatic duck race today,” he said with a grin. “We have the official duck wranglers getting into place down at the creek and the ducks are going to be dumped in and you can follow them as they paddle furiously down the creek,” he said, drawing laughter from the crowd. “The tension will be high and we want you to cheer on your duck.” As well as the new rubber duck races the concept of people putting together teams to participate was encouraged. “We have a team from the Campbellford Memorial Hospital, the Trent Hills Family Health Team, the Kerr team from Brighton [Craig is a director], Closing the Gap Healthcare Group, the [Bob] Rowe team with a lot of little members, and

care for each other.” The top fundraising team is the Campbellford Memorial Hospital group which raised $640. Second place went to the Trent Hills Family Health Team which raised $610. The winning 12 and under participant who brought in pledges is Jolie Lopez a member of Team Hutcheon. Dr. Henderson thanked Closing the Gap, Campbellford, for their second year of sponsorship and the Warkworth Community Service Club members for helping as marshals along the routes. No Frills Campbellford provided water and Our Lucky Stars Café provided prizes and muffins. The winning duck was number 213 which belongs to Marilyn Petherick.

OMB hearing adjourned until July By John Campbell
News - Trent Hills - Before council approves any site plan agreement with the owner of Island Park RV Resort, it wants a legal opinion on the number of sites it can allow Councillor Ken Tully introduced the motion approved by council last week, saying he was “not certain [that] 201 sites is appropriate,” because of comments made by Lower Trent Conservation and his own visit to the area with other council members. The conservation authority is opposed to the zoning bylaw amendment
which Island Park owner Jerry Luczynski has requested to formally recognize the existing trailer park within a ten-hectare area (about 25 acres). The rezoning would include another three hectares (approximately eight acres) to allow for commercial use there as well. The additional area lies within a flood plain and includes provincially significant wetlands, which the LTC said “would regain the ability to attenuate flooding and retain its ecological functions,” if “vegetation was allowed to regenerate to a natural state.”
The conservation authority said the existing zones, Environmental Protection and Flood Fringe Area, are appropriate. Council sided with the LTC and rejected Island Park’s bid to allow trailer park use on the whole of the subject property through a zoning amendment. Luczynski appealed its decision and an Ontario Municipal Board hearing was scheduled for April 16 and 17. However, about two hours into the hearing, the OMB panel decided to adjourn until July 13 and 14. It was to give the two sides more time to work on a site plan
agreement that “may in fact resolve, or at the very least clarify, the issues” related to the zoning bylaw amendment, board members S. Jacobs and W.R. Winnicki said in a memorandum of the oral decision delivered at the hearing. The board also noted the municipality’s lawyer had offered the view that an amendment might not be needed and that “finalizing the site plan agreement may address some concerns of neighbouring residents.” Three of them–Robert Hall, Duane Turner and Laurie Roy–attended the hearing and asked to be a party to the
matter. The board made no decision on their request. Tully told the Independent council members want to know what their options are as part of ongoing negotiations to finalize a site plan agreement. “The information we’re seeking is whether 201 sites can be a different number,” he said. “I’m not saying we want to reduce them, you just like to know as you work your way toward resolving this what all you can or cannot do.” But fewer sites is “an option we may want to consider,” Tully said.

Pedal for Hope gets $7,414 boost from NDPS By Bill Freeman
News - Norwood - The Pedal for Hope cycling team got a $7,414 boost from students at Norwood District Public School during their high-energy visit last week and it’s donations like that, from communities small and big, that have helped raise nearly $3 million for pediatric cancer research over the past decade. Through all the headshaving, pony tail clipping, ice cream eating and energyburning entertainment the Peterborough based team of police officers and volunteers have developed a significant bond with students across Peterborough, Northumberland, Haliburton and the City of Kawartha Lakes and last year fundraising efforts culminated in the presentation of a $1-million Impact grant ($250,000 a year over four years) to Dr. Lillian Sung of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. The grant is named after the Pedal for Hope team and will be used by Dr. Sung’s research team to develop an App that allows childhood cancer patients to deliver their symptoms to doctors.
“It is something we should be proud of but really we need to pass it on to the good work of the kids in the schools,” says Staff Sergeant Marc Habgood of the Peterborough Police Service who’s been with the team from the start. “They make us look like heroes but we can’t do it without the teachers and the kids in the schools.” For the eleventh tour, the team tweaked their video presentation which now includes a cartoon featuring a search for their mascot “Bear.” “It’s been exciting this year. The video is unbelievable,” says Habgood. “We’ve had some good videos but this one is more entertaining for the younger kids; it keeps them engaged for the whole presentation.” The cyclists are inspired daily by the strength shown by young cancer patients they meet and ride for. Sadly, they’ve lost a few of those children over the past year and they meet new patients in many of the 50 schools they visit. But medical science is developing increasingly successful treatments and Sergeant Habgood says research dollars
The Pedal for Hope team made a triumphant return to Norwood District Public School last week during their eleventh tour. Students at the school donated $7,414 to the Pedal for Hope.

OPINION
More anti-terrorism laws Editorial Left-wing, rightwing, it makes no difference. Almost every elected government, confronted with even the slightest “terrorist threat,” responds by attacking the civil liberties of its own citizens. And the citizens often cheer them on. Gwynne Dyer Last week, the French government passed a new bill through the National Assembly that vastly expanded the powers of the country’s intelligence services. French intelligence agents will now be free to plant cameras and recording devices in private homes and cars, intercept phone conversations without judicial oversight, even install “keylogger” devices that record every key stroke on a targeted computer in real time. It was allegedly a response to the “Charlie Hebdo” attacks that killed 17 people in Paris last January, but the security services were just waiting for an excuse. Indeed, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that the law was needed to give a legal framework to intelligence agents who are already pursuing some of these practices illegally. France, he explained, has never “had to face this kind of terrorism in our history.” Meanwhile, over in Canada, Defence Minister Jason Kenney was justifying a similar overreaction by saying that “the threat of terrorism has never been greater.” Really? In all the time since 9/11 there had never been a terrorist attack in Canada until last October, when two Canadian soldiers were killed in separate incidents. Both were lowtech, “lone wolf” attacks by Canadian converts to Islam–in one, the murder weapon was simply a car–but the public (or at least the media) got so excited that the government felt the need to “do something.” The Anti-Terror Act, which has just passed the Canadian House of Commons, gives the Canadian Security Intelligence Service the right to make “preventive” arrests in Canada. It lets police arrest and detain individuals without charge for up to seven days. The bill’s prohibitions on speech that “promotes or glorifies terrorism” are so broad and vague that any extreme political opinion can be criminalised.
Trent Hills Independent P.O. Box 25009, Belleville, ON K8P 5E0 250 Sidney Street Phone: 613-966-2034 Fax: 613-966-8747 Published weekly by:
In short, it’s the usual smorgasbord of crowdpleasing measures that politicians throw out when they want to look tough. It won’t do much to stop terrorist attacks, but that doesn’t matter as the threat is pretty small anyway. France has 65,000,000 people, and it lost 17 of them to terrorism in the past year. Canada has 36,000,000 people, and it has lost precisely two of them to domestic terrorism in the past 20 years. In what way were those lives more valuable than those of the hundreds of people who die each year in France and Canada from less newsworthy crimes of violence like murder? Why haven’t they changed the law to stop more of those crimes? If you monitored everybody’s electronic communications all the time, and bugged their homes and cars, you could probably cut the murder rate in half. The price, of course, would be that you have to live in an Orwellian surveillance state, and we’re not willing to pay that price. Not just to cut the murder rate. The cruel truth is that we put a higher value on the lives of those killed in terrorist attacks because they get more publicity. That’s why, in an opinion poll last month, nearly two-thirds of French people were in favour of restricting freedoms in the name of fighting extremism–and the French parliament passed the new security law by 438 votes to 86. The government in France is Socialist, but the opposition centre-right supported the new law too. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government in Canada is seriously right-wing, but the centre-right Liberals were equally unwilling to risk unpopularity by opposing it. On the other hand, the centre-left New Democrats and the Greens voted against, and the vote was closer in Canada: 183 to 96. And the Canadian public, at the start 82 per cent in favour of the new law, had a rethink during the course of the debate. By the time the AntiTerror Act was passed in the House of Commons, 56 per cent of Canadians were against it. Among Canadians between 18 and 34 years old, fully three-quarters opposed it. Maybe the difference just reflects the smaller scale of the attacks in Canada, but full credit to Canadians for getting past the knee-jerk phase of their response to terrorism. Nevertheless, their parliament still passed the bill. So should we chalk all this up as two more victories for the terrorists, with an honourable mention for the Canadian public? No, not really. Islamic State, al-Qaeda, and all the other jihadis don’t give a damn if Western democracies mutilate their own freedoms, as it doesn’t significantly restrict their own operations. The only real winners are the security forces.

Grandkids say the darndest things too By Lewis Zandbergen Editorial - I’m putting on an old hat with a new name this week; how does House Grandpa sound? It’s been about 25 years or so since I’ve written about my own children and their antics; they’re all grown now with kids of their own. Yup, there’s a new generation in town and they’re every bit as much fun as Jennifer, Peter and Sarah were all those years ago. And although my children’s antics could drive us to distraction two and a-half decades ago, we’re much more tolerant of the grandchildren’s behaviours. I believe my parents behaved the same way to their grandchildren. Denise and I now have a total of six grandkids between us; I inherited two when she and I married, and she inherited four. Keaton, now 20 and a rising star in the music industry (check out Sound Affiliation on Youtube), and Nathaniel live in Kingston; Serena and Eli live in Chesapeake, Virginia, and Jordan and Victoria live in Belleville. Of course, we see more of Jordan and Victoria than we do of the others. If you can recall that old show from the late 1950s hosted by Art Linkletter, Kids Say the Darndest Things, this column may resonate with you. Although Linkletter tried several reincarnations of the show well into the 1990s, they weren’t as mainstream, so those of you born after 1970 can check out clips of the show online. Times change but stay the same and kids still say the darndest things; there’s no better proof than listening to your grandchildren. We oldsters have a few aches and pains and Denise mentioned one day that her knee was hurting again. She was within earshot of the precocious Victoria who will turn three this June. “You have got to be kidding me!” with perfect inflections and cadence came in that cute little voice and it sent Denise into gales of laughter; since laughter is the best medicine, I imagine her knee has been better since then; I wish she’d say the same thing about her back while Victoria listened and that it would result in similar pain easement. Then there was the time not long ago after some furniture had been moved, that the television wasn’t hooked up yet. Victoria’s dad, with his characteristic patience, explained that it wasn’t working because he still had to adjust a few things. She took on her best superhero persona (“downloaded” via her older brother) and declared, “I’ll fix it with my superpowers!”

She gesticulated and waved her little hands all over the place but the TV refused to co-operate. It just refused to come on and she was left to explain her superpower failure. Adopting a supremely confident pose, she simply said, “Okay, I’ll be back in a minute.” We’ve learned it’s one of her favourite cop-out moves and she never did re-address the non-co-operative television issue again that evening. She may eventually become a politician. There’s no way a grandparent can avoid comparisons between their children growing up and their grandkids as they go through the stages of infant, toddler to confident first grader, high schooler and on into adulthood. Jordan, from whom his little sister absorbs a lot, is an expert on all things superhero. He can quote chapter and verse about the Ninja Turtles, knows who Superman, Batman and all their associated villains are and shares his father’s childhood admiration for Spiderman. He can spend hours (if you let him) telling all about who’s who and what kinds of powers they have. And this fount of information doesn’t stop until sleep hits some time in the late evening. I think it’s a safe bet most six-year-olds have the same ability. Serena and Eli have spent a few weeks with us for a few summers now. They are equally knowledgeable about kid things and listening to them is just as rewarding. It must be a parent’s lot in life to appreciate grandchildren. And it’s not because they come to visit and then go home; Denise and I love every minute with them and often feel a little sadder when they go. But summer is coming and they’ll spend a few weeks with us out in the country. Each of our grandkids is individual and while Keaton’s music may not be to my liking, I have immense admiration for the young man, he is dedicated; while my childhood knowledge of the “superhero” world was limited to Superman, Eli and Jordan’s affinity for these characters reminds me of my other childhood pleasure watching cowboy shows; I enjoy the delight Frozen and its characters (especially Olaf) give Victoria and I imagine Serena is just as enthralled; Nathaniel is into video gaming and while it’s also not my forte I am amazed at his prowess with the gaming challenges. I know all grandparents are justifiably proud of their grandchildren. We cherish them and their ability to make us laugh and at times they fill our hearts to bursting.

The pickerel fishing season also opens on the same weekend and boaters and cottagers will be trekking to the Hastings area to renew their connection to the Hub of the Trent. The Hastings Village Market will also be in full swing to complement the yard sale in the adjacent park. The community yard sale will run from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. and Farley says vendors must make sure they clean up after themselves and leave nothing at the ball park. There will be a food booth at the park as well, she adds.

HBM prepares four-year deal with OPP
By Bill Freeman
News - Havelock - The Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen will sign a four-year deal with the Ontario Provincial Police for policing services following the expiration of its current sixmonth contract which ends July 1. The agreement doesn’t mean township council will stop exploring other policing options in an effort to rein in costs that have escalated with the OPP’s new billing model. CavanMonaghan has jumped from the OPP to the Peterborough Police Service and neighbouring Douro-Dummer, currently with the OPP, has heard pitches from

both the OPP and Peterborough but has yet to make a decision. In order for HBM to get a “costing” from another police service its boundary would need to be “contiguous” with a municipality that employs that service. “Unless Douro-Dummer enters into a contract with another police service, this option is not available to our township,” CAO Pat Kemp explained. H a v e l o c k - B e l m o n t - M e t h u e n ’s 2015 total OPP bill before a phase-in component will come in at $1,242,308. With the phase-in included the cost is $1,041,446. In 2014, it was just under $900,000.
The municipality entered into the shortest contract possible, six months, as it studied the new billing model which uses a formula that incorporates a province-wide base cost along with costs associated with local calls for service and continued to monitor what other municipalities in the county were doing. The new four-year agreement falls under Section 10 of the Police Services Act. If they allow the six-month contract to expire without an agreement in place OPP services would automatically come under Section 5.1. The cost would be the same but the differences are significant. Under Section 5.1, for instance, the township’s police services board would be dissolved and it would no longer receive grants as they do for RIDE programs. As well, the township would have no access to bylaw enforcement or any say in the selection of the detachment commander. Under Section 5.1 there would be no contract; under Section 10 they have four different contract options, from three to six years. The township can opt out of the contract with one year’s notice. “I think this is probably the way to go,” Mayor Ron Gerow said. “This model gives us what we need [for now].” The mayor says he’s talked with Douro-Dummer Mayor J. Murray Jones about policing contract issues. “They haven’t made a decision yet on what they’re doing,” Gerow said. “He’s not sure they’re going to make a change or not but they will be dealing with it.” Continued on page 9
High school rankings prompt discussion with CDHS principal By Sue Dickens
News - Campbellford - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Social science is not a good thing to measure easily â&#x20AC;Ś one of the variables is the students,â&#x20AC;? said Campbellford District High School principal Doug Birch. He was interviewed by The Independent recently on the heels of the release of the Fraser Institute rankings of secondary schools in Ontario. He talked about his own methods of assessment and what it means to CDHS. With graduation just around the corner the discussion of this timely topic took a few twists and turns in that direction. This is Birchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second year at CDHS. He came here from East Northumberland Secondary School where he spent 24 years. This is his 26th year in the ďŹ eld of education. When the Fraser Institute published CDHS principal Doug Birch talked about the recent â&#x20AC;&#x153;report cardâ&#x20AC;? its recent â&#x20AC;&#x153;report cardâ&#x20AC;? ranking released by the Fraser Institute and what his own indicators are 749 secondary schools it used data within his school. Photo: Sue Dickens gathered from literacy and math tests
administered and mandated right across the province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an oversimpliďŹ cation. They boil very complex things down into simple numbers â&#x20AC;Ś Gifted kids and those with learning disabilities are all included,â&#x20AC;? Birch commented. In the Fraser report CDHS got a grade of 4.9 out a possible 10, up from its previous 4.8. Havergal College, an all-girls private school in Toronto, ďŹ nished with a 9.4. The score for CDHS has been up and down over the years. He did point out that all schools are judged on the same basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ďŹ&#x201A;awed system of assessment at least itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s systematically ďŹ&#x201A;awed,â&#x20AC;? he commented. Birch said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have our own indicators in our school, pass rates, the quality of pass and we look at quality of marks and their distribution, among other things.â&#x20AC;? He next talked about a gap in achievement levels between academic
and applied classes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the curriculum is well-written by the Ministry of Education and well-delivered by the teachers, then all other things being equal, the mark distribution of the two levels ought to be similar, but they are not. Often, the scores of students in applied level courses are lower than those of their academic counterparts within the same subject. Consequently, the Ministry of Education has many schools [CDHS being one of them] involved in its Student Success School Support Initiative (SSSSI) project which aims to decrease the gap between the two levels by increasing the effectiveness of the instructional practices used by teachers. Early indications are that this project is having some success at CDHS,â&#x20AC;? he added. Graduations give an opportunity for the school to celebrate students who are successful and are moving on. At the end of the CDHS school year in 2014 a total of 53 per cent (59)
of the 112 students who graduated went on to college; 23 per cent (24) went to employment directly; 21 per cent (23) went on to university; and ďŹ ve per cent (six) went on to apprenticeships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our school has to be able to prepare kids for any eventuality that they might want to go on to postsecondary education. I am very proud of the fact none of the kids here, that I can tell, are limited by the fact they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into a program because the course wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offered by CDHS,â&#x20AC;? said Birch. Statistics show that the provincial graduation rate is 84 per cent and CDHS is in line with those numbers with a graduation rate of 82 per cent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always about grades, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also about learning,â&#x20AC;? said Birch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all about continuous improvement,â&#x20AC;? he added. The CDHS graduation will be held on June 25. The offsite graduation will take place June 11.

North Kawartha Mayor Rick Woodcock and his council have had similar discussions about policing, Gerow added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re waiting for Douro-Dummer to do something because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like us [without a contiguous border to a municipality policed by another service].â&#x20AC;? Mayor Gerow also says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talked to other municipal representatives in the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably a majority of usâ&#x20AC;? are going to look at something similar to four-year agreement HBM will sign with the OPP,
Gerow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is certainly an interest on the part of the east part of the county to have further discussion depending on costings but we need more time and so do the police. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a work in progress.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Barry Pomeroy said â&#x20AC;&#x153;it only made senseâ&#x20AC;? to accept a contract under Section 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to seriously consider our options,â&#x20AC;? Councillor Hart Webb added. The issue will continue to come up in the future â&#x20AC;&#x153;so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do some work here,â&#x20AC;? Webb said.

Havelock veterinary hospital a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dreamâ&#x20AC;? By Bill Freeman
Business - Havelock - â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a dream for me that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had for a long time,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Adrienne Thomson of the Highway 7 Veterinary Hospital sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opened in the heart of Havelock. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dream thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been percolating ever since the Whitby native graduated from Veterinary School at the University of Guelph in 2006. That degree followed Bachelor of Science and Masters of Science degrees in animal science which deepened her fascination for animals. Dr. Thomson spent the past eight years practising in Campbellford where she cared for both large and small animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It evolved that I just became a small animal vet while I was still there,â&#x20AC;? she said during a chat in the completely renovated former Galitech Electronics building. Dr. Thomson could have continued on quite successfully in an associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role but had a longing to open her own practice. What she finally found in Havelock was an ideal spot to establish her own clinic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were two bathrooms, two offices and a staff room. Those are still there but now we have a reception, two examining rooms, a kennel room, a

cat room, an isolation room, a surgical room, a treatment area as well as a pharmacy and a lab.â&#x20AC;? They provide everything from surgery and in-house diagnostics to dentistry and wellness programs. Dr. Thomson and her staffâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;technician Sarah Denton and receptionist SheriLynn Barronsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;are delighted with the results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had an amazing response. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really happy the community has embraced me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty happy that everyone who has come in has had positive reviews.â&#x20AC;? People no longer have to travel great distances to receive care for their pets and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a crucial factor because Dr. Thomson agrees that pets are very much a part of someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extended family. Dr. Thomson has been interested in veterinary science since high school and a co-op placement at a local clinic sharpened that interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really got to know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The body and what it can do just fascinates me.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Thomson has been able to take that science and â&#x20AC;&#x153;give it to clients to help them understand what they can do to help their pets live longer; preventative medicine is what they
can do. That excites me, being able to educate clients.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Thomson wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be doing emergency after hours services but will recommend that clients go to Peterborough where there is a 24-hour clinic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People need to go somewhere where their pet is going to be looked after for a 24-hour period,â&#x20AC;? she says of emergency cases. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also happy to recommend places for vacationers to board their pets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It comes down to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for their pets. We want our pets to be on vacations ourselves.â&#x20AC;? Veterinary science is â&#x20AC;&#x153;constantly changing,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Thomson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is so much we can do now to keep our pets living longer; learning that and passing that on and seeing the results is really good.â&#x20AC;? The biggest change, she says, is in oral and dental health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed huge. It is important to maintaining overall health.â&#x20AC;? Continued emphasis on preventative pet care is key, she adds, much as it is in human health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier for me and happier for me if I can do prevention and if I only

see your pet once a year or two or three times for a nail trim thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy doing.â&#x20AC;? The clinic has an active website and Facebook page with lots of wellness and educational information. The animal hospital will host an
open house and donation barbecue this summer with proceeds going to the Farley Foundation which assists people in need by subsidizing the cost of necessary veterinary care for their pets. For more information call 705-7782535.
HBM has concerns about possible closure of North River boat launch
News - Havelock - Township council is not sold on the possibility of closing the North River boat launch following the reconstruction or rehabilitation of the North River Bridge on County Road 46. Peterborough County plans to do some major work on the bridge and has told area residents and the municipality that it will review the boat launch during the project with the idea that it might be closed permanently. The county is looking for input
from the township and councillors raised concerns around the prospect of a permanent closure. During a public information session on the bridge project some residents also expressed concerns about closing the well-used ramp which is accessed through a county right-ofway off the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think closure would be in the best interests of our municipality,â&#x20AC;? said Councillor David Gerow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That stretch of river is well used.â&#x20AC;? Deputy-mayor Jim Martin noted that the boat ramp became a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sidebarâ&#x20AC;? issue

Mayor Ron Gerow said council needed to send a â&#x20AC;&#x153;clear messageâ&#x20AC;? to the county that they had â&#x20AC;&#x153;some concerns about closure.â&#x20AC;? The â&#x20AC;&#x153;bigger issue,â&#x20AC;? Gerow added, was the concern that some residents in that part of the township had about seasonal campers who set up in that area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past few years weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some residents in the area who have been concerned about campers,â&#x20AC;? he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe we should ask the county to consider some postings along the road allowance to indicate that overnight camping is not allowed in that area. That might alleviate some of the concerns people have.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Gerow said he had people call him last summer about the campers. That, he added, might be one of the causes of calls from some residents to close the ramp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I agree with councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a number of boat launches in the township that a lot of people from the municipality and outside use. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of major importance to continue to have that for the public.â&#x20AC;? Council agreed to write to the county expressing concerns about a possible boat ramp closure; they also asked for possible signage prohibiting camping on site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this matter is to be taken any further weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like a public meeting,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Gerow added.

Cooking for one or two
Seniors face many changes as they move into their golden years. Downsizing living spaces and vehicles is common, as is implementing certain changes to improve quality of life. Many seniors also scale back in the kitchen, where some must make changes because of medical conditions. While it seems like reducing food portions would be easy, those used to prepping meals for a large family may find it difficult. The following tips can make meal preparation efficient and cost-effective. s $IVIDE AND STORE Supermarkets are increasingly offering larger packages of food products as well as
â&#x20AC;&#x153;family sizeâ&#x20AC;? offerings to compete with warehouse clubs. Buying in bulk can help individuals save money, but it may not always be practical for people living alone or with just a spouse. If you must buy in bulk, invest in a food vacuum sealer or freezer storage bags. Immediately separate meats and poultry into smaller portions before storing them in the freezer. Otherwise, look for bulk items that are individually wrapped to maintain freshness. Many canned and jarred items can be covered and stored in the refrigerator after containers are opened. s 0LAN MEALS WITH SIMILAR INGREDIENTS To reduce

LETTERS LIFESTYLES TO THE EDITOR
Thanks to everyone who helped make the ENSS reunion a success
Dear Editor, A little over two weeks ago ENSS hosted the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 60th Anniversary Reunion. By all accounts and based on comments on Facebook, by alumni guests, and my own recollections, it was a wonderfully successful and nostalgic event. This letter is an attempt to sincerely thank all who helped make it happen:
Brighton businesses who gave sponsor support and generous prizes; individuals (they will know how they helped) include Ron Waddling, Mark Peister, local school-related artists for prizes, Gala performers, George Hamilton, Lions Club, ENSS staff, Jim Millar and arena staff, local media, Carm Herrington, Del and ENSS Culinary class, Gala sound crew, the
Dear Editor, I totally agree with Ken Leavens and Leslie Woof re: the political ďŹ&#x201A;yers. Here in the Peterborough riding, we are very fortunate as once our MP quit so did the political mail-outs. The average person will not notice any difference without an MP. In the next election we need an option of NONE. If we could get rid of even half of them think of the savings. Dave Harris, Havelock

Dear Editor, We were always made to believe that elected politicians spoke truthfully and acted in the best interests of those who elected them. And if you listen to Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli he promises that â&#x20AC;&#x153;every step we take is designed ďŹ rst and foremost with the ratepayers in mind.â&#x20AC;? Unfortunately for the electorate, Chiarelliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words are cheap and this Liberal government has become
bankrupt and untrustworthy. It was Chiarelli and his merry men and women who ushered in the disastrous Green Energy Act which has triggered in a cost of billions of dollars to Hydro One customers. Chiarelli claims three other provinces are paying more for their power than Ontario so according to his twisted logic this makes it quite palatable to have energy costs so high. He fails to mention that small
businesses are being forced to leave the province and most seniors are cheering mightily for socialism as they turn down their thermostats a few more degrees. What makes it particularly difďŹ cult to understand is that while the Liberals are charging consumers astronomical energy rates they are still facing a deďŹ cit higher than most other jurisdictions in North America. The Ontario Liberals
prove why taxpayers have to be protected by enacting a balanced budget amendment. Chiarelli should revise his comment to â&#x20AC;&#x153;every step we take is designed ďŹ rst and foremost to bamboozle the public, keep the government in power and continue to deceive like we have from the outset.â&#x20AC;? Rolly Ethier, Peterborough
Harper government disconnect Dear Editor, In a prime example of disconnect between words and reality, the latest Conservative pre-election data collection sheet mailed at our expense by our Conservative Government, touts Canada as an exporting nation. The problem seems to have been misunderstood by the Export Development Agency, who has recently handed over $525 million to a German car company to expand in the USA and Mexico. Like the temporary Foreign Workers program, the objective seems to be jobs for non-Canadians. Also touted on the flyer are all the trade agreements, which allow the lower cost goods from South Korea for example, into Canada in exchange for what?
Remember that much of the Canadian manufacturing sector is now in China and east Asia, increasing profits for the owners. Canadian companies currently sit on $600 billion of â&#x20AC;&#x153;dead moneyâ&#x20AC;? (not doing anything). Canada has reverted to the hewers of wood and drawers of water, (think water pipelines to California), under this extraction-based government. One trade agreement item being watched by many countries currently is the suit by Philip Morris against Uruguay to overturn health restrictions on tobacco. The new regulations were brought in when an average seven Uruguayans died each day from tobacco. This ruling is headed for a secret hear-
ing by a bank of corporate lawyers, not beholden to any countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court system, not responsible for the health care costs of tobacco-related diseases, or the familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; anguish felt by those left behind. If Uruguay loses, it will be fined tens of millions or be required to remove the restrictions on the weed so that the death toll can climb again. Philip Morris will move on dozens of other countries that also sought to reduce the carnage. What do you think, should Canada sign more of these investor rights treaties? Paul Whittaker, Gilmour
The latest Conservative propaganda Dear Editor, The Conservatives are at it again with their latest propaganda. The so-called budget is nothing but a procrastinatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words full of future promises, but people should be leery of this because Harper has lied before when he said that his government would be open and above board. Before any of the promises made in his so-called budget even come true, Oliver will already be retired with his $100,000 pension and with a cushy job with one of the companies he gave a tax break to.
Roads, bridges, water and sewer infrastructure cannot be handled without revenue. The economy cannot sustain the continuous tax cuts without the loss of services, as people are finding out, because the need for a doctor or a nurse is no longer affordable or available, that is if you can even find one. Then we have Norlock asking what we think of free trade. I will tell you what I think, free trade is a roundabout way of taking all the jobs out of Canada so that the companies can have a bigger profit. Aylmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s canning was bought
out and closed. All the car jobs are going out. General Electric was moved to Mexico and now they sold their share of General Motors, so the company is moving out with 1,000 more jobs leaving. Then if a company is not happy, they sue the government and not only do we lose jobs but we also lose our case in the courts and have to pay millions to some no account. The only people making money are the lawyers and companies who have the right to sue as part of free trade contracts. Pete Brodeur, Frankford

Consultant will review municipal governance, service delivery in Asphodel-Norwood The move to bring in Steven Fournier of Fournier Consulting Services comes nearly one-quarter through the first year of a nearly brand new council and one month after the departure of former CAO Joe van Koeverden.
Fournier is a former CAO of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville and oversaw a successful service delivery in UCLG. He’s also worked in interim CAO/management roles in long-term care, conservation authorities and smaller rural and urban sectors. “The primary objective is to improve the key elements that form the basic municipal governance processes including council SPECIAL SPRING OFFER and staff working relationships, roles and Sign up for a seasonal lawn mowing service & receive functions of staff in delivering services to FREE SPRING LAWN the public and an effective staffing model,” FERTILIZING Mayor Terry Low said.

News - Norwood - Asphodel-Norwood council has hired a consultant for two months to provide “operational oversight” and review governance and service delivery in the municipality.

ing model,” he said. One of the questions Low says they will need to answer after Fournier’s review is whether or not Asphodel-Norwood needs a CAO. The municipality has had several since amalgamation in 1998. “Council is committed to establishing a positive and financially sustainable direction that will benefit Asphodel-Norwood.” Fournier has a “long-term proven record” of assisting municipalities and public sector organizations with the “development and implementation of positive council work plans.” “Serving the citizens of the township is the priority for both council and staff,” Low said. Fournier’s presence over the next two months is “dedicated to improving the effectiveness of achieving that.” Low says the dramatic change around
the council table on election night was a strong indication voters wanted something different in Asphodel-Norwood. “Moving forward we needed to take stock of as to where we’re at now.” While Low has been in the political “arena” for some years and brings experience to the table as a former deputy-reeve and conservation authority board chair, he admits he’s “been out of the loop” for four years and needs to be “brought up to speed locally, provincially and legislation-wise.” “Lots has changed during this period and one needs to keep abreast of what’s going on so we are better prepared to respond to the challenges as they arise.” Council includes four “new and eager to make a change and build a team with their own skill sets and experience but they are also new the political arena,” he added. Roy Millett is the only returning councillor and experienced and “adds much to the team as a whole.” Low says council has set some guidelines for itself, chief among them “building a team that’s functional [and] having mutual respect and trust not only of each other [but for] staff.” “That was the first and foremost commitment by us.” Low says council is moving ahead with major infrastructure projects like Spring Street and one for Robert Road in the near future and working to keep Norwood District High School open and vibrant as well as dealing with ongoing legal issues. “The financial position moving into 2015 is looking good but how do we improve it looking ahead to 2016 which we want to start now not later?” Fournier’s review, they hope, will “get us to the next step.”

50 Anniversary th
Reinventing tradition has become second nature to the Weaver Family Funeral Home in Campbellford
Change has been almost constant over the 50 years the Weaver Family Funeral Home has operated in Campbellford. Virtually from the moment that Al and Marion Weaver took over the business after purchasing it from the Bennett family in 1965, they needed to start making additions to the building built in the 1860s at 77 Second St. All of the facilities had been positioned at the Bennett’s store so, once Al and Marion took over, they had to immediately expand to accommodate garages for the vehicles, a casket display room as well as a storage and preparation room, which took about three years to accomplish, according to their oldest son Jeff, who is now the President and Funeral Director of Weaver Family Funeral Homes. A constant with this familyowned business throughout its 50 years in Campbellford, however, is its commitment to serving the community and the families
home,” Jeff recalls proudly. “We raised our family – Tim, Elizabeth and Tom – above the funeral home, so this is truly a family business.” And of course, the matriarch of the family, Marion, still lives in a house at the bottom of the laneway to the facility. It continues to be a strong family business due to some early and provident planning by Jeff and Susan, his wife who is the Corporate Secretary of the business. “Back in the 90s, both Susan and I realized that if our families were to join us, Campbellford wasn’t a big enough business to do that,” Jeff noted. “We looked at the opportunities out there and in 1995, we went back to Trenton and built the Trenton East location. There had never been a funeral chapel on the east side and, of course, the river had divided that city, so there were two funerDedicated to reinventing tradition, the Weaver Family Funeral Home at 77 Second St. will continue to adapt to the needs of the families in the community and the expanding needs of the Weaver family itself.

and built the Trenton East facility and opened it in 1996.â&#x20AC;? Extremely well received by the public, that location anchored the Weaver Family Funeral Homes in Trenton until the corporation which owned the former Weaver Funeral Home decided to sell it and it was again acquired by the Weaver family. Very recently, the funeral home in Warkworth was also acquired and brought into the fold, according to Jeff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Warkworth is a small, vibrant, independent community so now it truly is a family business, although not run solely by family, but our extended familyâ&#x20AC;Śpeople who have joined our firm and come into the family fold,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Campbellford is our home and we offer our house to the people of the area who need our services, and it is a home-like atmosphere that we run,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being raised in the community, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re part of the community, we know the community and they know us. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re long-standing members of the community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; third generation in both the business and the community. It has become home and we extend our home to our community.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much more than just lip service from these committed community members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping that in the next 50 years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be part of the com-
Cremation used to be a very small part of any death, but it has ballooned to over 50 per cent of requests today, according to Jeff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can have memorial services here at the funeral home or we can attend their church or attend their halls for their memorials,â&#x20AC;? he indicated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now equipped so that we can even attend their back yards because people in the nice weather want to have a gathering in their back yard if they can accommodate that, so we have people set up for cooking arrangements or if they need to have coverings such as tents, or chairs, we have that available to them.â&#x20AC;?

was required. Because families or so widespread in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world, members of a family often cannot return for a funeral. In a case like that, the Weavers will stream a live video feed to them across the internet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with webcasting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ten years ago, that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possible,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But now, the extended family of the deceased can actually participate in the service by watching, listening and seeing everybody in attendance. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite amazing! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a welcome change but not everybody does it in our business. We realize how important it is to have extended family all over the world to have that opportunity.â&#x20AC;? Weaver Family Funeral Home in Campbellford also is capable of serving lunches so that families can remain together after a service at this outstanding facility. Continuing on their family service theme, the Weaver Family Funeral Home in Campbellford also has a family room, themed in a Thomas the Train motif so children have a place to go and play while the parents attend a service. Adaptation is obviously a big part of this familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business plan and if the community needs it, they will endeavor to provide it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve obviously staked our claim with our family here and they will also stake their claim,â&#x20AC;? Jeff said of the future. The Weavers believe in giving back to their communities and they support various clubs, groups and associations in the community and are major supporters of such things as their local hospital and Ducks Unlimited, as well as directing visitors to their facility to such Campbellford landmark businesses as the Empire Cheese Factory, Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Finest Chocolate Factory and outlet, and Dooherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bakery. Expect this business to continue to grow and adapt as they follow their motto of reinventing tradition.
Proudly serving todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s families with todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s values, for over 50 years
Late E.W. Al Weaver 1925-2000 Weaver Funeral Home was founded when E.W. Al Weaver a licensed Funeral Director and his wife Marion, purchased the Bennett funeral home business from Don & June Bennett. After fifteen years of serving bereaved families in Trenton and surrounding communities, Al Weaver was ready to graduate to ownership and move his family to their new home of Campbellford, in June of 1965. The business was known then as Bennett-Weaver funeral home, as a means of softly introducing new ownership in the small town. Al & Marion immersed
themselves within their new community, volunteering with the Rotary Club, Shrine Club, St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church, the U.C.W., Campbellford Hospital Foundation, Campbellford curling club and wherever they could meet new friends and make a difference in their new hometown. Throughout the decades of 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s & 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the needs of bereaved families were met by Al and his team, with a basic compassion of helping others through a difficult time. The traditional funeral service was usually two days of visitation with burial at the local cemetery on the third day. Most families were connected with a local church and their minister would preside over the funeral while the sound of the organ would fill the funeral home with the soft familiarity of old stand-by hymns and sometimes the shy voices of people gathered, would sing the deceased favourite hymn. After the cemetery service, people would travel back to the Church hall where the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group would provide food and refreshments. The many flower arrangements were then delivered to the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes, church, nursing home or hospital for others to appreciate. The funeral home was put back together, cleaned and ready to serve the next
family. Al and Marion raised their children above the funeral home and humbly taught them while earning a living and being supported by the people of your community, you must always remember to â&#x20AC;&#x153;give backâ&#x20AC;? to that community. They lived this philosophy and after some struggles in the early years, the business would eventually thrive and expand. Al Weaver was also committed to serving and advancing his chosen profession, by volunteering his time and expertise to the Bay of Quinte Continued on page 18

er, a Licensed Funeral Director and their daughter Elizabeth Weaver, who is responsible in the accounting department. There have been an incredible amount of changes within funeral service since those humble beginnings in 1965. The traditional families of yesterday viewed funeral service as a respected, necessary ritual. These families knew they would hold a funeral service for their loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; they simply had to decide when and where. The families of the present are starting not to depend on traditions like they used to and are not having funerals just because their grandmother did. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s families are tech-savvy and rely on the Internet to research and seek more information. Yes there are still many traditional families out there, but this group seems to be on the decline, while the families of today have more focus on life and ceremonial recognition, personalization and options of technology. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reported that 97% of people now turn to the web to find information on products & services, including funerals and providers. This is good news that people can educate themselves about the available options, so they can make a well-informed decision. They learn about burial & cremation, funeral service options, memorial & tribute product offerings and check into pricing. Families are also looking to their social network platforms to see what their peers recommend. Since 2007 the Funeral Celebrant movement has been a big part of our process which provides new and custom-
ized options for our families that do not wish to have a formalized, Clergy-led service. However, ceremonies are not always secular in content; actually we find that most families still want the Celebrant to quote religious prayers, favourite Biblical passages and verses. Families in modern society today can be separated by great geographical distances which make attending gatherings and funeral ceremonies restrictive and not practical from a time or financial perspective. This is why we have developed our unique funeral Webcasting software. The ceremony can be streamed live and in â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? time, so that friends and relatives are able to virtually attend the service on our website, from anywhere in the world via the internet. Weaver professional services now include an exclusive, estate documentation settlement for each family we serve. A 30-minute phone interview with Peacehold our partner, will result in the completed package of forms being delivered to the executorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, complete with directions for signatures, including addressed and prepaid envelopes to forward all the documents to the proper agencies for cancelation, benefits, etc., and phone support for one full year after the funeral. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our service doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end at the cemetery.â&#x20AC;? While the journey of bereaved families has changed over time, our goal as funeral professionals hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. We still are devoted to serving each family in the most compassionate and unique way by walking with them through the

Celebrate Havelock another blockbuster success was something the Celebrate Havelock committee was aiming to do, says chair Elmer Buchanan. “We certainly not only wanted to have growth, we wanted it to be productive growth that we can sustain,” said Buchanan. “We think we’re on a sustainable path. At some point we’re thinking about having a tent outside. We’ve almost reached the point where we could have entertainment outside and have it all day.” The Lions Hall upstairs was used for food, prize displays and entertainment. Buchanan says the committee tweaks the event each year and looks to grow in manageable ways. “We’re not looking to be the biggest show; we want it to be about Havelock and what’s in Havelock and to appreciate what we have. I think we’ve achieved that.” The committee gave away $9,569 worth of prizes thanks to generous donations from major corporate sponsors and exhibitors. Gold sponsors included Unimin, Havelock Tim-Br Mart, Country 105, the Trent Hills Independent,

Events - Havelock - The intention was to show off Havelock-Belmont-Methuen and they did it in style. The eighth annual Celebration Havelock trade fair drew over 1,000 visitors to the community centre and an expanded event that had at least 65 vendors including a complement of large outdoor displays. “It was very impressive,” long-time volunteer Joan Higgins said. “It has really grown by leaps and bounds. We used to be able to do all the draws and entries on one table; now we have the whole upstairs for the draw area. “It is nice to see Havelock come together and celebrate the great township we live in,” she added. Outdoor displays like Hydro One’s 1,000-square-foot Electricity Discovery Centre, the County-City Health Unit’s mobile dental van, the TD-Canada Trust mobile bank branch, OPP marine safety, K-9 Komfort Inn, a petting zoo, the HBM fire and rescue department, Havelock Foodland’s police committee barbecue and retail displays by J.J. Stewart Motors and Dunford’s were an impressive first sight for visitors. Maximizing and enhancing the use of outdoor space
CHEX Television and the Peterborough Community Futures Development Corporation. The Havelock Country Jamboree and Havelock Metal Company were silver sponsors. Bronze sponsors included Tim Hortons, Havelock Pharmacy, the Havelock Lions Club, Havelock Foodland, the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen, Deal Taxi, Elwood Hamilton Bus Lines and Kawartha Stone Works. The one-day format “works well,” Buchanan says, and makes it easier for exhibitors to be at the show and also run their business. “The committee decided it would be a little too much especially on this weekend. It is a showcase; it’s not about selling necessarily although some vendors are. It is a showcase of what we have in terms of community services and businesses.”
“It’s a good boost for the township,” said artisan Vicky Carter. “I am surprised by how much is here in the township.” “It’s awesome,” added Sherry Hubble. “It really pulls Havelock in. It’s a good chance for everybody to get to know the new businesses and what’s available.” “It’s a really good event for the township,” said Stacey Caine of Sugar Caine. “My kids love coming to it; there’s always something for the family to do.” “It’s great for the township,” said councillor and committee member Barry Pomeroy. “It showcases things you didn’t even know were in the area. We’ve got a great team and new ideas coming in.” Artisan Vicky Carter of Havelock holds one of her sculptures at the eighth annual Celebrate Havelock trade fair and showcase.

enthusiasm is unparalleled; they have been wonderful to work with,” said Laurie Graham, co-ordinator of the school’s breakfast program. “We can only reach 150 children through the breakfast program but we wanted every child to benefit from this grant,” said Graham. The proposal for a “trip around the world” via food secured the grant and they decided it would be “a really good Grade Seven project.” They turned it over to the class and the students went to work with help from Graham and parent volunteers but mostly with their own ingenuity and inspiration from classmate Tyler Wrightly, a young foodie with a passion for culinary creation. Tyler had prepared sushi for his class on behalf of the breakfast program and Graham says that was eye-catching and exciting. “He’s a phenomenal cook. That was the launch pad for the class to do this work. Because of this one child’s enthusiasm it grew into all of the kids and every single student has been involved.” Students spent four straight Mondays planning their menu which eventually covered 14 different countries. They prepared recipes at school and did the cooking in the Community Centre kitchen. They also welcomed a health unit inspector into their class for a food handing and safety course which made the process even more educational. “We were very fortunate to have the funding and to utilize it in a way that every single student benefits,” said Graham. The meal was a “different melding of flavours” with appetizers, mains and desserts from India and Germany to Sweden and Hawaii. “They were very eager and enthusiastic about the project. It’s been a very good hands-on experience and great cross-curriculum,” Graham said. “They were able to take a lot from cooking and meld it into different avenues.” “It was pretty fun,” Tyler said. “Cooking is one thing that I really like to do. We’ve made quite a few things from different places. There’s a lot of stuff I’d like to make because they’re delicious. The best part is eating it when you cook for yourself.” “I learned how to cook things I didn’t know how to,” added Destiny Pearson. “It was fun to cook the foods and set ev-
erything up,” said Connor Low. “It feels good to have everybody helping.” “You kind of get a taste of what everybody eats around the world,” said Aaron Sherry. “I have a tremendous sense of pride. It warms my heart,” Principal Robert Citro said as he surveyed the arena and watched students enjoy their lunch. “There is so much enriched
learning here across all curriculums,” he said. “You always hope to plant a seed in a variety of different ways and if this sprouts and they’re able to take these courses in high school and beyond that’s a wonderful thing. “They have really risen to the occasion. It’s team-building; it’s community building; it’s wonderful.”
Tyler Wrightly and Logan Allen, Grade 7 students at St. Paul Catholic Elementary School in Norwood, were part of the team that served an international Food Fiesta to students, staff and guests at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre.

News - Stirling - Local police were looking for an older male earlier this week after two Stirling Public School students were approached at the end of the school day on Friday. In a statement issued Monday, Stirling-Rawdon Police Chief Dario Cecchin stated that police received a report of an unknown older male who had offered and given two male students of the school a baseball bat each. The male was reportedly the lone occupant in what is believed to be a dark green Toyota Corolla that was parked in the east side lane of the school.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The festival wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen without the volunteers and community partnerships,â&#x20AC;? she added. For more information about the festival go to <http://warkworthlilacfestival.ca/ events/>.

Events - Warkworth - What do Master Gardeners and Clifford the Big Red Dog have in common? They will be bringing their skills and exceptional brand of
fun to the fifth annual Warkworth Lilac Festival called â&#x20AC;&#x153;30 Days of Lilacs.â&#x20AC;? Opening weekend festivities on May 30 and 31 provide a number of events for everyone to enjoy.
Society will be there with pumpkin and sunflower seedlings. Artworth will be celebrating its tenth Anniversary of Art in Retrospect. Local musicians will entertain at the gazebo downtown. On Sunday a lilac service will be held at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church with an Elvis Gospel tribute. The festival also has events happening later in June including its famous garden luncheon with a presentation by Holt Renfrew organized by Dawn Cohen of Trentmendous called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Art of Fragranceâ&#x20AC;? featuring Jo Malone, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a really exclusive fragrance line,â&#x20AC;? at Greystone, the home of Carol Dove. Proceeds from this luncheon (June 14) go to the maintenance and development of the trail and festival. Another group that works silently in the background is the Friends of the Lilac Festival chaired by Terry Fontyn who with her volunteers weed the lilac beds all summer. Anyone interested in helping can call her at 705-924-9683. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we are going to have a lot more blooms than we had last year,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Cleary, Percy Township reeve at the time. When the Lilac Festival â&#x20AC;&#x153;came to town,â&#x20AC;? thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when hundreds of lilacs were planted along the trail, he said. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival is an indication of just how successful it has become. Saturday, May 30, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids on Main [Street]â&#x20AC;? day. From Clifford, The Big Red Dog at the library (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) to childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainer Andrew Queen (11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.) to Home Depotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Build Itâ&#x20AC;? there will be plenty for youngsters to do. In the evening Jazz in the Lilac Room featuring Tia Brazda will be held in the Town Hall Centre for the Arts at 8 p.m. Judy Kaufman who is organizing the event said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be exciting.â&#x20AC;? The two-day kick-off weekend of the festival will feature everything from the third annual photo show (organized by Maureen Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Grady) to cupcake decorating, face painting, hula hoop dancing, horticultural vendors, the Branch Ranch, the Ontario Society of Delphiniums and more.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a fabulous weekend,â&#x20AC;? said Judy Norlock, who co-chairs the festival with Janice Allen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve presented the festival as a month-long event,â&#x20AC;? noted Allen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lilacs are at their best from May 24 to June 24 but we have varieties that bloom all summer long even into September,â&#x20AC;? she added. David Rollins, a noted designer living here, is the man who had the vision for this lively lilac festival as a celebration each spring. As the concept captured the imagination of the community it caught the interest of the Warkworth Community Service Club and many other enthusiastic volunteers. The growth of the festival reflects the continued dedication and commitment by the community and those volunteers who planted 300 French hybrid lilacs in over 65 varieties along Mill Creek that meanders through the village and the Millennium Lilac Trail. Dean Peters, a longtime community volunteer, remembers how the trail got started in 1999 as a millennium project for the community under the initiative of George Mc-

News - Campbellford - Impromptu family singalongs when she was young set the tone for Barb Hobart’s love of music which is evident when she conducts the St.
John’s United Church Choir. The group will be performing another of their popular concerts, this one called “Olde Tyme Gospel.” “My father was a Presbyterian minister and there were
always impromptu singalongs in our house and I started playing with them on the piano when I was nine or ten years old,” Hobart said, while sitting in a pew of the church for this interview. “I started with piano and when my father’s organist quit I got conscripted and I’ve been playing the organ ever since,” she added with a grin. “When I was picking some of the music for our concert it was taking me back to those times with my family. Songs like Precious Lord, Take my Hand, I’ll Fly Away, When the Saints Go Marching In, The Battle Hymn of the Republic, to name a few.” An organist for more than half a century, she has played the organ at St. John’s for the past dozen or so
years. There are 38 choir members, some from St. John’s Choir but others from other churches and surrounding communities. “We have Pentecostals in our choir, people from Christ Church Anglican, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints … but they are not all church members either,” said Hobart. “There are 13 people in the community who have sung with us, I’d say for the last seven or eight years. People such as Kim MacNeil from Warkworth,” she explained. During the concert there will be several solos performed by choir members including MacNeil, Cathy Redden, Tom Sharpe and Janice Eichner. “We have a quartette performing
too,” said Hobart. The choir has “tried to mix it up” with a variety of songs such as The Prayer and You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban. “I also think we have expanded our repertoire,” said Hobart. The choir sang some jazz and “even did a rap” at one of their Christmas concerts. The choir will be using backup tapes for accompaniment, something Hobart said has been very beneficial. “Backup tapes used to be terrible but now you cannot tell the difference. Every time you practise the accompaniment is exactly the same which makes it wonderful for amateur voices because they can take the tape home, they can listen, then the music becomes internalized which
is much better,” she explained. The concert costs $15 to attend but as Hobart noted, “The fundraising part of it isn’t really what why we do it. We really do it because we love the music … and the fundraising, well, if we make money that’s a bonus. “We do it because we love the music and we hope that translates to the audience and they love the music as well,” said Hobart. “With a concert like this, I think it brings community members together. The concert is really an outreach to everyone.” Two performances will be held, the first on Friday, May 22, at 7:30 p.m. and the second on Sunday, May 24, at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the church office or at the concert.
Principal ups reward for hard work, students respond with greater proceeds She asked her teachers “if they’d mind getting a pie in the face, knowing that I’d get a pie in the face, too,” she said. They agreed, and “it really motivated the kids” to reach the goal she had set for them, “to make at least $10,000 in profit” on the sale of raffle tickets. The students came through, selling $14,865 in tickets, which, after expenses, netted St. Mary $11,580. “I’m just so proud of them because they all worked really hard, and this money

at a special assembly held May 7. The students were also rewarded with weekly draw prizes during the fundraising
which began March 31 with the help of the school council and the support of more than 30 businesses and individuals who donated prizes and money. Marini said she would like to see some of the money raised to purchase Chromebook laptops which will enable the school to make use of a Google
classroom. “The kids can use that to organize their assignments, collaborate, share with teacher, all electronically,” she said. “We’re pretty excited about that. It is amazing.” There are also plans to purchase more outdoor equipment.

Haute Goat the site of “Spring Fling BBQ” fundraiser By Sue Dickens
News - Campbellford - “Bring your Boots” - that’s the catch phrase being used for the first ever “Spring Fling BBQ” to be hosted by the Incredible Edibles Festival committee. “It may be mucky at the farm, so you’ll want your boots,” said organizer Debbie Nightingale, festival committee co-chair (along with Joan Sheppard). Nightingale and Shain Jaffe moved from Toronto to what they refer to as “our little piece of heaven in Campbellford,” in 2007, to settle on 25 acres in a century farmhouse where her dream of having goats became a reality and where the barbecue will be held. “We brought home four very opinionated, impossibly cute Nigerian Dwarf goats who became the inspiration for our homegrown business–Haute Goat,” she explained. Nightingale has involved herself in the community in a big way and is working with a group of volunteers to make sure the second annual Incredible Edible Festival to be held later this sum-
mer will be as successful as the first. The fundraising barbecue is one way they plan on making that happen. “This promises to be a funfilled family day. There will be a delicious barbecue feast of favourite dishes and desserts to appeal to the whole family,” Nightingale told the Trent Hills Independent. As well people will be able to enjoy a farm tour, walk through the woods, visit the goats and their kids, the horses, chickens and the shitake mushroom lodge. “Try bobbing for apples or compete in the sack races and tug-of-war, to name a just a few of the planned activities,” Nightingale said with enthusiasm. Last year when the festival made its debut organizers weren’t sure how successful it would be but thousands of people turned up for the day-long event meant to highlight and promote the deliciousness and diversity of food produced in Trent Hills and area. The public’s response “was far more than we ever expected,” said Jackie Igleheart, a member of the festival’s organizing com-

mittee There were more than two dozen vendors and a half-dozen acts. The event was so popular that several of the vendors had to close down early because they ran out of food. Helping make the festival even more people friendly was the fact that Saskatoon Avenue was blocked off to traffic between River and Front streets. Festival-goers got their first look at Nightingale’s goats when she helped with a goat derby and fashion show. The “Spring Fling BBQ” will provide a chance for organizers to promote the festival which will feature some heavy hitters including Frankie Flowers, gardening expert and weatherman on the daytime lifestyle TV show Cityline. Food writer Joel McCharles will be returning and Deborah Neimann-Boehle, a writer and self-sufficiency expert will be a guest speaker as well as Jude Cohen-Phillips, co-founder of Incredible Edible Todmorden.

Big Bike for Stroke raises $4,790 but fewer teams participated this year
Do you have an opinion you’d like to share? Write the editor tbush@metroland.com
By Sue Dickens
News - Campbellford - The Big Bike for Stroke campaign by the Heart and Stroke Foundation kicked into full gear on Saturday, May 9, with the first one for the region held here in Campbellford. Four teams raised a total of $4,790 and again the RBC team came out on top with $2,375. Top fundraiser for the team is Bruce Brown with $1,670. The Kinette Club raised $1,305 and top fundraiser is Carol Pearson with $335. The Curves team raised $960 and top fundraiser is Eileen Davis with $250. “Also we have the sweetest team today, it’s called the Sandi Stars Birthday Team and the husband is surprising his wife for her birthday today,” said Sara Lunn, area co-ordinator, Peterborough office, Heart and Stroke Foundation. “They’re actually driving from Kingston this morning,” she added. The Sandi Stars Birthday Team raised $150 and it was all done by Giles Sharpe. Lunn said the goal this year for the Peterborough office and the area it covers is $175,200. The Big Bike for Stroke event in Campbellford is the first of many yet to come. They were in Campbellford Saturday, then in Peterborough Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, the following week, May 20, they’ll be in Lindsay, May 21 in Haliburton and Minden; May 25 in Port Hope, May 26 in Cobourg, then June 16 in Lakefield and June 17 in Bobcaygeon. Campbellford has had as many as nine teams in the past and when asked about the drop in numbers, Lunn, who is co-ordinating this for the first time, commented, “I feel that it’s because some people felt like they’ve done it for so many years and they had a hard time recruiting. I got a few others saying they’re too old this year. “We definitely need some new blood,” she added. Big Bike for Stroke is nationwide and so in communities across Canada the event will repeat itself with the recognizable one bike which has 29 seats for volunteers as well as a seat for the driver as they make the twokilometre ride happen. “I will be there from start to finish for every single one of the rides in our area,” said Lunn. According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation website last year more than 70,000 riders in more than 200 communities coast to coast helped raise more than $8 million for research.

beverages. The first barbecue saw a profit of $350. Five years later, 1977, the barbecue was still a popular springtime event and the amount of tickets sold had increased to 500. “Sharpe’s Food Market became involved looking after the potato salad and coleslaw,” said Runciman. In 1979 it was decided to mix things up a bit and the organizers put potato salad on the menu instead of baked potatoes. “Fred and Carol Darling looked after the chicken and potatoes for many, many years but now a new generation of helpers are stepping up,” she added. As well since 1980, Dooher’s Bakery has “graciously allowed us the use of their ovens for baking of the potatoes.” Runciman talked about how, in 1991, the Homecraft Division volunteers took over the responsibility of organizing the fundraiser. Each division was responsible for a certain part of the barbecue with the men still looking after the chicken. For example, Hobbies and Baking volunteers looked after serving the desserts, Needlecraft volunteers looked after serving the main course. Flowers, Photography and Preserves Tasty homemade pies, as many as 17 different kinds, as well as a variety of volunteers took care of setup and cleancheesecakes are included with the meal at the fundraising chicken barbecue up while Junior Work volunteers hanhosted by the Campbellford fair board each year.

News - Campbellford - Celebrating 161 years the Campbellford fair board is again hosting one of its biggest fundraisers of the year, the popular chicken barbecue. “The chicken barbecue started in 1972 and was a joint effort between the men and ladies’ groups of the fair,” said Angela Runciman, Homecraft secretary/treasurer. “A total of 400 tickets were sold and the meal con-
sisted of barbecue chicken, potato salad, coleslaw, a beverage and a piece of pie [three kinds were offered–apple, lemon or raisin],” she added with enthusiasm, providing a bit of a historic perspective to the event. Each part of the meal was allocated to local areas. Pethericks Corners folks looked after the coleslaw, Hoards and English Line folks looked after the potato salad and Seymour West and the town folk looked after the

Stations were rotated every three years. To ensure the barbecue goes off without a hitch planning starts weeks before and the day of the barbecue activity starts about 8 a.m. on the fairgrounds, with dinner being served from 4 to 7 p.m. in the curling club and the final cleanup is around 9 p.m. “At the end of the day we have a lot of happy but tired volunteers,” said Runciman. “We have grown to 600 tick-
ets being sold now and have over 100 pies [about 17 kinds] and 12 cheesecakes [about ten flavours], all donated,” she added. This year the barbecue will happen on Sunday, May 31 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the curling club. Each meal includes one-half a barbecued chicken, baked potatoes and the fixings, coleslaw, buttered bun, baked beans, mixed vegetables and a drink and dessert of choice. “You won’t be disappointed,”
said Runciman. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for kids, ages six to 12 (includes HST) and are available by calling fair board President John Finlay at 705-924-2160. The Campbellford Fair will be held August 7 to 9. The theme is “Celebrate 4-H, Learn to do By Doing” in honour of 4-H Ontario’s 100th birthday.

Clearing the smoke off patios and playgrounds By Bill Freeman
News - Peterborough County With warm weather bursting out after a long cold winter, the Peterborough County-City Health Unit is reminding area residents that all restaurant patios are now smoke-free following changes to the Smoke Free Ontario Act in January. The update to the act also included a ban on smoking within 20 metres of children’s playgrounds and sports fields. Parks are also to be 100 per cent smoke free. The restrictions include playgrounds at hotels, motels and inns but does not apply to personal properties or apartments or condominiums. “While the law was officially instated January 1, we want to ensure residents of Peterborough and Peterborough County are aware of the change,” says Tobacco Enforcement Officer Courtney Howe. “People are just starting to
enjoy the patio season and some may not be aware that the law has changed since last summer. “We don’t want any confusion about the fact that all restaurant patios are now smoke free,” Howe stressed. Restaurant owners and operators as well as individual smokers are responsible for complying with the legislation, she says. Howe, as the health unit’s Tobacco Enforcement Officer, has the ability to charge those who contravene the law. If there is evidence of smoking or complaints about smoking on patios those involved could receive a fine, Howe said. Anyone witnessing individuals smoking in a prohibited area can contact Howe at 745-7643-1000 extension 245. Individual townships have installed signage notifying the public of the requirements at the en-
trance and exits to the smoke-free areas. The public health unit will carry out inspections and respond to complaints regarding smoking on and around playgrounds. Anyone witnessing individuals smoking in a prohibited area can contact Howe at 745-7643-1000 extension 245. Ontario’s smoking rate fell from 24.5 per cent in 2000 to 18.1 per cent in 2013, representing 332,361 fewer smokers. Many Ontario municipalities have already taken action to restrict smoking in public spaces, says the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Sixty-five municipalities have banned smoking on playgrounds, 60 have banned tobacco use on sports and recreational fields and ten have prohibited smoking on restaurant and bar patios. The fine for breaking the law is $305.

Havelock gymnasts have banner season
By Bill Freeman
Sports - Havelock - It was a banner season for the Havelock Belmont Public School gymnastics team. The 19-member squad racked up a number of gold, diamond and platinum awards at the annual school board-wide competition at Fleming Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wellness Centre, in Peterborough, and has deďŹ nitely established the sport at the school, says cocoach Jenny Pink. The Grades 4 to 6 students, 18 girls and one boy, practised at least twice a week since January leading up to the board competition last month. It was the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third appearance at the competition. With over 550 students at the Wellness Centre, Pink says the competition is â&#x20AC;&#x153;massive and has
grown quite a bit each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was fantastic,â&#x20AC;? she says of the HBPS experience. For some of the young Havelock athletes it was their second year in the sport, for others it was a ďŹ rst time, so entries cut across the novice and advanced divisions. And for the ďŹ rst time, the school entered the dance competition using all 19 students under the direction of co-coach Jennifer Ruttle who has a dance background. Their hard work paid off in a diamond award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some students this [gymnastics] is their big thing for the year,â&#x20AC;? says Pink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They may not be on clubs or team sports so this is it. It was just a really good feeling. They displayed some great sportsmanship and represented the school really well. It was a great day, a full
day.â&#x20AC;? The team got a â&#x20AC;&#x153;huge amountâ&#x20AC;? of support from the parent council which provided money to buy custom gymnastics uniforms which they wore at the championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program is going to expand; there has been a lot of interest,â&#x20AC;? says Pink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gymnastics is great exercise and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good conďŹ dence builder; all of the kids saw a lot of personal growth whether it was in the gymnastics component or just working together as a team or setting personal goals.â&#x20AC;? The team was given routines in late February and those with experience would compete in the advanced division; newcomers entered at the novice level and grades competed with The Havelock Belmont Public School gymnastics team had another good season which they capped with a strong performance each other so it was peer against at the school board championship at the Fleming College Wellness Centre. Photo: Bill Freeman peer. One of the highlights, says Pink, was watching the professional gymnasts and the Crestwood cheer team perform during a break in the dance com-
petition. The athletes are looking ahead to next season, says Grade 6 student Calista Knight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really liked being with my friends and I practised at home,â&#x20AC;?
she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love being with my friends and doing the cartwheels,â&#x20AC;? added Grade 4 student Grace Fluke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will deďŹ nitely do it again next year.â&#x20AC;?

Retired astronaut visits school named in his honour News - Trenton - Retired astronaut Marc Garneau was the guest of honour as “his” school, École secondaire publique Marc-Garneau, celebrated its 20th anniversary on Saturday, May 9. Garneau, now a Liberal Member of Parliament for Westmount-Ville-Marie, expressed his delight at having a school named after him while he was still alive to appreciate it. “Usually, people are dead!” he quipped. “To have a school named after you is a very big deal.” The school is part of the French Public School Board of Eastern Ontario, which offers public education in the French language. Garneau, speaking mostly in French, said he has visited CFB Trenton many times, but was especially pleased to be here to celebrate the anniversary of “my school.” He spoke briefly about being selected to become a Canadian astronaut in 1983 and the relationship between the Canadian Space Agency and the American program, NASA. “It was a privilege to represent Canada in space,” and to see the beauty of the Blue Planet, he said. During his visit, Garneau signed a board showcasing the school’s new logo, and talked with many of the students, parents and staff. Garneau made three trips into space, logging more than 677 hours in orbit between 1984 and 2000. He said he no longer misses being in space, but added, “I have very fond memories–and I relive
it in my dreams.” School principal Tanja Morin said the name for the school was suggested by a Grade 8 student, and the Canadian Space Agency approved the request in 1995. Although Garneau’s duties at the CSA prevented him from attending the opening, he was able to visit the school in 1997. She said he has remained a big inspiration to students. Denis Chartrand, chairman of the French Public School Board of Eastern Ontario, called Garneau “a hero for this generation” and said he was thrilled that Garneau could be in attendance for the school’s anniversary. “I’m honoured that he came,” Chartrand said, noting that Garneau continues to follow the school on Twitter and social media. Chartrand said the school began very small, and gradually added grades until it became a fully fledged high school. “People said that it wouldn’t last, but it not only lasted, but it grew,” he said proudly. “It’s way more than surviving– it’s thriving.” Other special guests at the celebration included Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison, Ward 1 Councillor Duncan Armstrong and Quinte West Federal Liberal candidate Neil Ellis. Also representing the French Public School Board were Director of Education Édith Dumont, Superintendent Martin Bertrand, Stéphane Vachon, Jean-Marc Emery and board members Rachel LaForest Retired Astronaut Marc Garneau, MP for Westmount-Ville-Marie, addressed the crowd on Saturday, May 9, during the 20th anniversary of the Trenton school named in his honour.

Long interested in photography and video filming, she was inspired to try to tell this aspect of such productions in a full-length documentary of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming show, The Drowsy Chaperone.

Community unites to help quake-shattered Nepal By Bill Freeman
News - Norwood - It’s almost too hard to imagine what it would be like to have Norwood, Havelock, Hastings, Westwood and rural farms in between swept off the face of the map in an earth-shattering instant but that’s what a group of residents did this week during a fundraiser for victims of the Nepali earthquake that has devastated that peaceful mountain nation. “Although that concept is hard, people do realize there is
a real need there,” said Betty Bennett who co-organized the fundraising evening at Norwood United Church with her husband John. The Bennetts travelled to the Katmandu Valley in November and presented a slide show that included images of sites no longer to be seen because they were destroyed by the magnitude 7.8 earthquake. Images of earthquake damage counterbalanced the Bennetts’ photo montage. Caroline Owen, of Wave-
lengths Yoga Studio, read from the journal she kept while travelling in Nepal in 2002. She, Tony Tavares of Norwood Holistic Centre and John Bennett read accounts from people on the ground and Betty, a member of the Peterborough Storytellers, told two classic Nepali stories. Brenda McCarrell, a volunteer with the Peterborough Red Cross, also made a presentation. Traditional Nepalese treats were served afterward. “I was trying to find a way into this for us,” said Bennett, with a traditional Sutra (prayer flag) draped in the background. She asked people to imagine an event that wiped out all local communities in this area and left roads impassable and left the only airport so damaged transports of material could not be delivered. The magnitude 7.8 earthquake has affected the lives of over eight million people,

killing over 7,500, injuring another 14,000 and has displaced two million. As of this week, 37,500 people who lost their homes are spread across 58 camps. “It’s devastating to see places where we stood; buildings have just fallen and they fell so suddenly and so resoundingly and became a great pile of dust,” said Bennett, deeply affected by the tragedy. “It is such a beautiful place with dramatic architecture, dramatic scenery and such kind people.” Not only do local residents have to deal with the massive loss of life, says Bennett, but in a deeply religious country the loss of places of worship will be terrible. “You think of all the people who lost family and are in despair [but] they’ve also lost their places of worship and that has to be a significant thing for them. They have not only lost homes but they have no place to go and gather as a community because large parts of their community have been swept away.” Bennett was stunned by the large turnout to the fundraiser. “I had no idea how this was going to go.” Her husband had already made a donation but Bennett thought they should do something more so she organized a program and spread the word through the church, Facebook, her exercise class and yoga. “I can hardly believe it. It is an amazingly giving community,” she said. “Because this is a small town I think people can relate to people in those communities [and]
what it would be like to see your community wiped off the face of the map.” “They appreciate it,” added McCarrell. “They don’t know where it comes from but it comes from people like you who have
stepped up to the plate and made this happen. “It strikes you right in the heart when they know these people are giving what they can for people they don’t even know,” she said. “This is a wonderful event.”

Exploring Alberta’s stunning Bow Valley Parkway

Hiking in Johnston Canyon. The Castle Mountain Internment Camp Memorial.
tions to be found along this route. One of my stops was at a monument and historical plaque at the base of Castle Mountain, but this wasn’t a particularly nice remembrance. It’s a reminder of the Castle Internment Camp that was built there in 1915, to house immigrants during World War I, primarily of Austrian, German, Hungarian, and Ukrainian descent, and these park prisoners had to work there, so they even helped to build the parkway. I next stopped at my favourite hiking spot along the parkway, at Johnston Canyon. I found many others on this popular trail that took me along a creek and on steel catwalks with railings that have been attached to the canyon walls, past sev-
eral enticing photo ops of the limestone canyon walls. A short walk (1.1 kilometre) brought me to the canyon’s Lower Falls, which is the final destination for much of the crowd. However, if you continue along this trail, another 1.6-kilometre walk will bring you to the Upper Falls, and three kilometres further will bring you to the Ink Pots, where a series of mineral springs are bubbling out of the ground. Other interesting hikes along the Bow Valley Parkway would include the 7.4kilometre round trip to Castle Lookout, the 1.8-kilometre round trip to Silverton Falls, and the shorter (.8-kilometre) round trip to Pilot Pond. The Bow Valley Parkway has several informative in-
terpretive displays along the way, and I stopped at several of these, including Sawback, to learn about controlled fires, used to stimulate plant/tree growth, and Muleshoe Pond, to learn how the wetlands were formed; both are located near the east entrance. I then eventually exited this awesome roadway, near the city of Banff, and as I drove into Banff, I discovered that several elk were grazing right there in the hospital’s front yard. The Bow Valley Parkway is meant to be a more leisurely route than the Trans Canada Highway, so slow down, relax, and enjoy.
This elk stops for a bite to eat next to the Bow Valley Parkway.

Lifestyles - Alberta’s Bow Valley Parkway is a 48-kilometre secondary highway that’s located within Banff National Park, and it parallels the Trans Canada Highway between Lake Louise and Banff. The stunning scenery, points of interest, and plentiful opportunities for wildlife viewing that I found along this route are not to be missed, so if you happen to be exploring this Lake Louise-Banff area, be sure to add this slight detour to your travel plans. Indeed, I’d recommend doing the entire loop tour between these two popular tourist destinations, using both the Trans Canada Highway in one direction and the Bow Valley Parkway in the other. I began my drive at Lake Louise, and here I left the Trans Canada Highway (#1) for the Bow Valley Parkway (#1A) and headed east for Banff. This particular area is teeming with wildlife, so it’s not uncommon to see such awesome animals as bear, moose, deer, bighorn sheep, and/or elk along the route, and sometimes right on the route. For example, the park has “bear guardians” that travel along the parkway and post signs to tell drivers that there’s a wildlife sighting just ahead. The driver will probably know this anyway, for there’ll be a great number of parked vehicles, as tourists try to get a glimpse. Therefore, “wildlife jams” are quite common, for motor vehicles will suddenly stop along the parkway for “an up-close-and-personal view,” and there’ll suddenly be a plethora of camera-toting tourists. I’ve even seen elk, bighorn sheep, and bear directly on the road itself. To help protect the animals, fences have been placed along the Trans Canada Highway, and “wildlife crossings” have been built for their safe transport from side to side. In addition, a section of the Bow Valley Parkway is closed to motor vehicle traffic overnight during the spring season, from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., for as the park superintendent explained, “This is a period of time when this area is very important for wildlife and particularly for sensitive species, such as grizzly bears and wolves, and by putting in a travel restriction overnight it allows those species to utilize this area in an undisturbed way.” Some scientists were concerned that the highway fences built in the park might block animals from breeding with others of their species on the other side of the highway, but a study has now shown that the fences have greatly reduced wildlife collisions (by 80 per cent), and wildlife is actually crossing from side to side, via the overpasses and underpasses that were built, for breeding purposes. For example, one male black bear followed in this study fathered at least 11 offspring while crossing back and forth to mate with at least five different females. Apart from the plentiful wildlife itself, there are several other attrac-

Marmora Curling Club second annual ATV Poker Run a great success By Margriet Kitchen
News - Marmora - ATV riders enjoyed excellent weather, and some great trails for the second annual Marmora Curling Club Poker Run on Saturday. By 10 a.m., over 100 bikes had been signed up with 120 poker hands at $25 each. The route covered 50 kilometres of trails, roads, mud and water. Each participant was to collect four playing cards at three trail stops, and one back at the arena. The top hand was awarded $150, second place, $100, and third $50. In addition a prize table was loaded with many items donated by local businesses and ATV sponsors. Additional fundraising activities included a 50/50 draw, and a $5 bike wash. Barbecued lunch was included in the entry fee. All proceeds will go to the Curling Club. Registering riders were required to provide insurance, and
a review was made at the entry tables of safety procedures. Paul Speight, president of the Marmora Curling Club, said, “The amount of hours and the work of the volunteers blows me away as we work each year to supplement the membership fees with fundraising to keep the Curling Club viable, as well as support worthwhile causes. We have almost 100 members, and after membership fees, the balance of funds needed to keep operating the annual budget comes to about $30,000. Events like this really help.” After the event, Tim Black of the Marmora Curling Club reported, “We had 124 participants in the second annual ATV Poker Run; the winning hand went to Amy Widdows of Foxboro with (three kings and a pair) and her husband Kirk Widdows came in second
with a straight. Brian Thompson took third place with three kings. We want to thank all of the participants and hope to see everyone and more at next year’s event. We would like to thank all of our sponsors for their generous donations supporting the event which were Possibilities, Bonter Marine, Dan’s Speed and Custom, Bay Marine, Dunfords of Havelock, Moto Sports of Trenton, Belleville Sport and Lawn, West City Honda, Doug Hunter Ford, Broadbent Home Hardware, Wallace Power Sports, Leo’s Sport Shop, The Cutting Corner, Flowers by Sue, The Iron Grill, Stirling Heritage Wine.’ Tim also stated that the Marmora Curling Club Facebook page features some excellent photos of the many trail “obstacles” and rest stops enjoyed dur- A number of the riders registered for the second annual Marmora Curling Club ATV Poker Run were ing the Poker Run. getting ready to head out on the 50-kilometre trek on Saturday.

Blanket access to municipal roads preferred option for ATV use By John Campbell
News - Trent Hills - Trent Hills staff will work with proponents of a bylaw to allow ATVs on municipal roads to determine where access across county roads will be needed. Staff asked for clarification of council’s intent after being instructed to prepare the bylaw at council’s April 21 meeting. The options included blanket access on all municipal roads, blanket access with exceptions (roads deemed to be unsafe or outside business districts in urban centres) or access on specified roads only, “perhaps connecting existing or new trail heads,” Chris Tye, assistant manager of roads and urban services, said in a report to council May 5. “We really do believe if council wishes to permit this activity on our roads that it be blanket access,” CAO Mike Rutter told council, saying “it’s very difficult” for staff to develop “evaluation criteria” for “a list of roads that aren’t necessarily appropriate.”

Rutter said Northumberland County “would prefer” to grant access on specific roads rather than in “certain areas,” as Councillor Cathy Redden put in in a question to the CAO. “It is going to be limited in what they will grant,” Mayor Hector Macmillan said. “That’s something we would need to develop with those who are proposing [blanket access] in Trent Hills.” Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan, who had asked for a list of road exceptions from unfettered access, said she had “lost a little bit of sleep” over the issue of whether to allow offterrain vehicles on municipal roads. “I do see the pros and cons,” she said, but “I do worry about the safety of all the residents.” Kelleher-MacLennan said she looked to organizations such as the Northumberland and District ATV Riders, which has pushed for a bylaw for several years, “to help set examples” as well as “police” the behaviour of ATV operators.
The Riders want to establish a route through Trent Hills that includes trails on private land and stretches of municipal roads where necessary in order to link to a trail system that runs through eastern Ontario. Cramahe Township, Havelock-Belmont-Methuen and Stirling-Rawdon are three adjoining municipalities that permit ATVs on municipal roads. Rutter said there’s really only one trail now in Trent Hills but it’s divided by the Trent River and would need to be extended through Campbellford to become connected. Macmillan noted “there was far more opposition” previously to a trail system in Trent Hills than “if it was wide open.” One problem with a specified route, Redden added, “is getting onto it … without breaking the law,” if ATV owners in Trent Hills have to travel on nondesignated municipal roads to reach it. Councillor Ken Tully agreed, saying the idea is to enable them to “get to the
trail the shortest possible way, and keep off road as much as possible.” Macmillan said ATV users “don’t want to be on county roads, they don’t even want to be on our roads, but it’s necessary to get from point A to point B.” Access on municipal roads will be for a one-year trial period and restricted to dawn to dusk and for a limited period; it was extended from the original proposal, to run from mid-April until the end of hunting season. Council’s decision to further commit to a bylaw being drafted was greeted with applause by the dozens of ATV users in the public gallery. Dwight Boyd, president of the Trent Hills Ratepayers Association, didn’t join in. “Obviously we’re disappointed,” he said in an interview, as he again demanded a public meeting be held before the bylaw is passed because it will have “such a profound effect on the municipality overall. “They’re ramming this through at
breakneck speed,” he charged. “The only thing we can do at this point is ask our people to contact their councillors and push [for a public meeting].” Council members “seem to be ignoring some of the problems” that will arise, he said, including the “increased risk of accidents” and greater exposure to lawsuits. “How do you justify allowing [ATVs] on our dangerous roads [in certain areas], knowing full well this risk is there?” Boyd asked. “They’re gambling with other people’s lives.” Boyd also repeated skepticism that opening up Trent Hills to ATVs will generate tourist dollars, as the mayor and proponents have argued. “That’s driven by hyperbole,” Boyd said. Boyd said membership in the ratepayers association fluctuates, depending on what issue is current, but “a good average” for the past four years is around 150 people.

Tweed and Company Theatre season opens with All You Need Is Love By Brett Mann
Entertainment - Actinolite - All You Need Is Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;a Musical Celebration was the season-opening production of Tweed and Company Theatre at the Marble Arts Centre recently. A chance coffee shop encounter with the cast and crew shone some light on the production and the theatre company itself. Tricia Black, Joel MacMeekin, Danielle Leger and James King comprise the core four-actor cast, with Katie Marlin handling lighting and general technical duties. Tim Porter directs the company, as he did with its predecessor, the IANA Theatre Company. Tricia, who studied music and theatre at Mount Danielle Leger (c) gives a high-energy warm-up performance for All You Alison University in New Brunswick Need Is Love, a production of Tweed and Company Theatre. She is joined by also serves as artistic producer (a role fellow cast members Tricia Black, Joel MacMeekin and James King (r). shared with Joel.) Joel, Tim and James all studied theatre at St. Lawrence College in Brockville between 2007 and 2011. Danielle studied music and theatre at the Canadian College of Performing Arts in Victoria, British Columbia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of a musical, more like a musical revue, almost like a song cycle,â&#x20AC;? Tricia explained. The production was very much a collaboration, she notes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Myself and Tim sat down and kind of came up with the idea for the show Tim Porter (c) onstage at the Marble Arts Centre with the cast of All You Need Is Love, the season-opening production of Tweed and then he and I wrote a basic script and Company Theatre, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;musical revueâ&#x20AC;? on the theme of love.

Kneeling, foreground: Joel MacMeekin. stuff, added stuff, picked different songs.â&#x20AC;? The hour-and-a-half show as its name indicates is based on the theme of love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all your favourite love songs, intertwined with love letters, famous love stories,â&#x20AC;? says Tricia. James adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tell some famous love stories in the forms of radio dramas, we do skits from Romeo and Juliette or Pyramus and Thisbe, old, NEW old ancient love stories.â&#x20AC;? He points ! out that Pyramus and Thisbe â&#x20AC;&#x153;is one of the oldest love stories. In Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream they do a play [within a play] of Pyramus and Thisbe.â&#x20AC;? Director Tim Porter was enthusiastic following the Tweed performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show was almost sold out. It was one of our best shows yet â&#x20AC;Ś we did re-brand [from the IANA Theatre Company] last fall and this was our first performance as Tweed and Company Theatre.â&#x20AC;? He is also excited to be participating in the Toronto Fringe Festival in July, his first entry into the annual event. Mr. Porter who lives in Toronto and says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an actor first and foremost,â&#x20AC;? stresses the original and collaborative nature of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work as shown in Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Fly Away, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;new Canadian musicalâ&#x20AC;? written by Tricia Black opening in Tweed next October. He notes that Emily Mewett, properties and stage .COM manager who was not at this production is also a key part of the core team. Countertops, Bartops, Vanities, Shower Walls, Fireplace Surrounds, etc. The Toronto-Tweed connection seems to be turning out well for the young theatre company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so happy that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to get this response from Visit our website, click the calendar the community.

News - Warkworth - A long-time Warkworth resident’s remarkable contributions to The Bridge Hospice have received provincial honours from Hospice Palliative Care Ontario. Brenda Partridge was inducted to the prestigious June Callwood Circle of Outstanding Volunteers in April stated a press release from The Bridge Hospice. The award recognizes exceptional individuals who, like the late June Callwood, demonstrated extraordinary voluntarism and passion in hospice care. According to Dr. Bob Henderson, board chair, her efforts are immeasurable and she is one-of-a-kind. “Since the envisioning of our residential hospice, she has donated thousands of hours to maintaining our accounts, managing the business office, fundraising, and serving on committees. Her many contributions have been

pivotal to the hospice’s The Bridge Hospice success,” he stated. operation depends on many generous, talented volunteers. Even among this dedicated group, Dr. Henderson noted that Partridge’s passion for the hospice vision “continues to inspire others.” For Brenda, the award is both personally meaningful and a tribute to the tremendous collective efforts that have made residential hospice a real option for people in Northumberland County and region, said the release. “Because June Callwood has been a lifelong inspiration to my role as a volunteer in my community, I am deeply honoured. I accepted this special award on behalf of all of the volunteers of The Bridge Hospice who are making a difference in residential hospice care,” she stated. The Bridge Hospice in Warkworth provides compassionate endof-life care at no cost to residents or their families. For more about the Hospice go to <http://www. thebridgehospice. com>.
The Good Earth: Lifestyles - Gentle Reader, by now you’ve come across countless articles, blogs and other posts about the return of the gardening season; about all of the new wonderful must-have introductions; the descriptions of the botanical wonderlands created by the gardening column author, etc. etc. In fact, this green-ink-stained writer was guilty of such an article last year, entitled “The Clost Arboretum.” I did such a good job with my words that a local organisation asked me to be part of their garden tour. I had to decline. It is true that all of those trees do grow on our bit of this good earth and they are quite nice to look at. There were two reasons for my declining. The first is that they are quite young and not of the best form. I tend to bring home plants that have been returned by customers because they weren’t thriving. I enjoy the challenge of reviving them but it does take quite a while. However, the primary reason for
Not in my backyard passing on the request, which I was tickled to receive, is that the other bits of the estate just aren’t up to “tour” standards. When I retire, perhaps, there will be time to give our grounds the attention they are lacking. Until then, I shall be more circumspect when talking about our gardens. Given all of that, I thought it might be refreshing for you to read something a wee bit different, not what you would expect to find in such a space as this. Today’s title does not refer to the nimby mentality; rather, it speaks to the plants that will not grow in my backyard, for example, petunias. I like them but they don’t like me. Burpee’s sells Black Cat, which they advertise as the world’s only black petunia. Ball’s offering is called Black Magic, Thompson & Morgan sells the doubleflowered Black Night, the world’s only doubled flowering black petunia. I’m not sure if these folks live in different worlds,
I suspect only the advertising boffins have a skewed version of reality, but I stopped searching for all of the variations. I see them at the garden centre and sigh: they’re gorgeous but if they came home with me they would die. Even if they are in a hanging basket with other plants, they would die. I don’t get it. (A pun for Ellyn.) Alyssum is another little plant that fares poorly on our estate. Portulaca barely gets by, torenia withers away, and common impatiens (long before mildew became an issue) just sits there sulking. It won’t die but neither will it grow. You would think that I should be able to make these annual mainstays, these idiotproof offerings that garner eleventy-eleven gazillion dollars a year for their patent holders, live up to their fullest potential simply because of my profession. Alas, Gentle Reader, two green thumbs and eight brown fingers.
To be fair to me and to reassure you, especially those who don’t know me, there are some annuals with which I manage to succeed: cosmos, nasturtium, verbena, scaveola, snapdragons, balsam impatiens and euphorbia. This year, in several dry areas, I have gone all out with various sedum and spurges. I’ve done a mix and match thing using the red tinged Dragon’s Blood, the vibrant yellow Angelina, the changeable (orange, green, red) Coral Carpet, an all green, Green Ice and an all red, Red Carpet. A few years ago, in those areas subsequently termed “The Wastelands,” I tried Ice Flowers and yucca. As the soil dried up and blew away, reminiscent of the great Dust Bowl of the 1930s, the desiccated remains of said plants rode those winds to the far, far better compost resthome in the sky. I have also determined that the best way for me to grow nice grass is to plant a nice
tree. It makes a difference. On a slightly different note: for over five years I had been using corn gluten on our swards. One of the weeds that it seemed to control very well was plantain. Last year, I did not use the corn because I came across some buckshee fertiliser at the nursery. This year, our lawns are once again producing a serious crop of plantain. The other weed that has taken a hold is Yellow Avens. For the curious, dandelions are sunny happy visitors, not a weed; clover is a welcome mat of green, not a weed and Canada thistle is an early warning burglar alarm, not a weed. All of them grow quite happily in my backyard. Petunias do not.

Midnight Madness fishing returns to Hastings By Bill Freeman
Sports - Hastings - Anglers will line up along the bridge in Hastings Friday night waiting for the midnight whistle to sound as the seventh annual Midnight Madness fishing frenzy kicks off. Hastings has the only bridge in Ontario that is part of a conservation area that allows fishing from May until November and it
draws large summer crowds particularly on the eve of the seasonal launch. Midnight Madness is organized and hosted by the Hastings Historical Society and officials are hoping for a record-breaking turnout. For the third year in a row the HHS will promote the event using special banners that were purchased with funds received through the village’s 2012 World Fishing
Network Ultimate Fishing Town Canada grand championship prize. Hastings picked up $25,000 which was disbursed to four worthy projects through the Hastings Environmental Group. The banner project received $1,000. Community support for Midnight Madness is always strong with lots of raffle prizes given away during the evening; the Historical Society is grateful
to the Water Lily and the Ultimate Bait Shop which are selling tickets to the event: $2 each or three for $5. Banjo’s Restaurant is also providing entertainment for the occasion. People are encouraged to start gathering on the bridge for the “first night of fishing” party at 11 p.m. Along with the draw prizes there are a number of awards for first fish caught
including the first fish to be caught after midnight; the first fish to be caught by a woman after midnight; the first child under 14 to catch a fish after midnight. All fish must be between 14 and 19.5 inches long; all the fish are returned to the water after being measured and weighed. For more information call Skye Morrison at 705696-1382.
