News - Campbellford - Much like Terry Fox, generations of students at Kent Public School have a dream, to raise as much money as they can for his Foundation. And to celebrate the efforts of students, both current and past, Krista Mather, an ambassador with the Terry Fox Foundation, arrived at the school last week and presented a 30-year pennant. “We like to see this enthusiasm and excitement,� said Mather. The students raised $1,073.50 at the annual Terry Fox Run bringing the total raised since the school started participating to $10,977.97 “It is such a small school to raise so much,� she added. Mather addressed the schoolchildren during a general assembly at which time she talked about the Foundation and did a bit of catching up by presenting six pennants altogether, one for every five years the students have participated. Six students accepted on behalf of the others. “The pennants are normally given every five years,� Mather explained. She has joined a group of others representing the Foundation.

“The Foundation has a group of us—ambassadors. Because this next generation doesn’t know the story of Terry, they weren’t there, they didn’t see him run, they don’t have a good sense of who he was and we don’t want anyone to forget him,â€? she said. “We don’t want his story to go untold so we are also going into the schools in September for their kick off if invited and we tell them about Terry,â€? she added. Mather was headed to Brighton Public School and to Havelock later the same day to present 15-year and 20-year pennants respectively. “We try not to focus on the fund raising ‌ more the excitement, but if they’ve done something big to celebrate and they’ve done an awesome job then we try to get them to celebrate that,â€? said Mather. Sarah Budgell, a Grade 6/7 teacher at Kent said, “Before the walk we did a whole media campaign in our school, announcements and presentations off the Terry Fox web site ‌ they have lesson plans. We did that in September to advertise the walk in our school.â€? And challenges were part of that campaign. “Teachers dressed up like super Please see “Foundationâ€? page 2

heroes when we reached $600 and Jason Kellogg [teacher] dyed his hair our school colours, blue and yellow. He hammed it up … it was fun,” she said.

During the actual walk “the little ones walked around the school but the rest of the students joined the high school [Campbellford]. We had six great

big cakes back at the school after.” The icing on the cake, she agreed, was receiving the pennants last week.

These students at Kent Public School, Campbellford, on behalf of the student body, accepted pennants presented by a representative of the Terry Fox Foundation: from left, Simon Carlen, Grade 6 - five-year banner; Brianna Noble, Grade 8 - 10-year banner; Joshua Preston, Grade 5 - 15-year banner; Krista Mather, Foundation ambassador; Emily Runions, Grade 4 - 20-year banner; Neely Mathew, Grade 7 - 25-year banner; and Tas Collard, Grade 6 - with the 30-year banner.

Media Release From the office of Rick Norlock, MP Northumberland - Quinte West October 7, 2014

Updates on the Hastings Swing Bridge (Hastings, ON) - Rick Norlock, Member of Parliament for NorthumberlandQuinte West, today announced changes to the timeline for the Hastings Swing Bridge. The Government of Canada is investing $4 million in the community of Trent Hills to replace the Hastings Swing Bridge. Until construction starts, Parks Canada is taking every step to ensure the bridge remains open and accessible to the community. Parks Canada is continuing to work with the project manager at Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) to replace the Hastings Swing Bridge in a timely fashion. Work is starting in early October to competitively select a company, and initial repair on site will commence this fall. Construction consists of grouting the rock foundation under the pivot pier and will involve drilling holes in the rock and injecting a foam grout into voids within the rock, which is anticipated to take 20 days. No road closure is expected as a result of this construction phase. Parks Canada has been working diligently with PWGSC over the last few months to improve and finalize the design of the bridge. However the design will not be completed as planned for this fall, resulting in no bridge replacement, nor road closure, in early 2015, as originally anticipated. The tendering of a second contract for bridge fabrication and construction for the project will occur once the final designs are completed. Additional information regarding the timing of the road closure and bridge replacement will be available as the project progresses. Parks Canada and PWGSC will continue to work with the Municipality of Trent Hills to schedule construction and to minimize the impact of any road closures that will be required to replace the bridge. - 30 For more information, please contact: Stephanie Campbell, Executive Assistant Rick Norlock, MP Northumberland-Quinte West 613-483-8181

Foundation’s latest statistics, it is estimated that 24,400 women and 210 men in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and that 5,000 women and 60 men will die from the disease in 2014. Island Park’s chef wouldn’t give up any of his secrets when interviewed about the fundraising event. “It’s going to knock your socks off; I won’t say anything else. It would be unfair to give away my secrets about what I will be serving,” he said with a big grin. Low is eager to take on other local chefs for a good cause.

“It’s all about raising money for the breast cancer foundation,” he added. All proceeds will go toward research, education, community care and advocacy, creating a future without breast cancer.

Community Care partnership recognized by township News - Havelock - The partnership between Community Care Havelock and the township has never been stronger and that has been demonstrated in both a permanent and symbolic way with the planting of a commemorative tree in Lions Millennium Park along Highway #7. The autumn blaze maple was planted just east of the Chamber of Commerce information kiosk as a way of thanking the volunteer organization for the work it has done across the township and continues to do, said Mayor Ron Gerow. Mayor Gerow was joined by councillors and municipal staff at a brief ceremony to mark the tree planting. The tree planting was sparked by an invitation from Havelock program coordinator Tammy Ross during volunteer appreciation week which followed the

theme “Volunteers Grow Community.� The tree symbolizes the flourishing relationship the township has with Community Care, Gerow said. “The limbs on this tree as it grows will grow with the many services Community Care provides to HavelockBelmont-Methuen,� he said. “We appreciate it.� The municipality was instrumental in helping the organization move to its new home on Concession Street just north of Tim Hortons. Council listened to presentations from Community Care administrators and board members about the necessity of a move. “The dedication of a tree is very significant to us at Community Care,� says Ross. Ross says the township works with the organization “on all levels of service.� The municipality has granted the

organization $5,000 over the past two years. “This helps us to stay in the community and provide services and programs locally,� says Ross. The municipality has provided the town hall to Community Care for a variety of health and wellness programs and for years has allowed them to hold their annual summer picnic at the community centre with arena staff “going out of their way to help us with this event.� Ross says Mayor Gerow has seen the “inner workings� of the Meals on Wheels program and has joined frontline volunteers during delivery day. “There is never a time [when] I see Ron that he

Helpers “disheartened� by bridge delay

The Hastings Helpers are disheartened to learn that the replacement of the Hastings Lock 18 swing bridge has been postponed again. Photo: Bill Freeman By Bill Freeman

News - Hastings - The news that the Hastings Lock 18 swing bridge’s expected three-month closure has been postponed has hit the Hastings helpers hard. Last week, Parks Canada announced the bridge was not closing in January 2015 so that it could be replaced in sections because the designs for the new bridge had not yet been finalized and tendering for a contractor wouldn’t happen until those plans were completed and approved.

The federal agency didn’t say when the closure would take place for the $4-million project which is now a full bridge replacement rather than a repair job. Initially, the government proposed a repair project which would have shut the bridge down from October to March. After opposition and public lobbying the government opted for a replacement and a closure reprieve until January 2014. “The latest news is very disheartening,� says Tonya Smith, founder of the

Hastings Helpers, a volunteer group that emerged from the uncertainty to assist local residents during the closure. The Helpers came together in the best interests of the community after the government’s first repair project announcement and the prospect of a major winter-time closure. “My initial reaction was that Hastings, as a community, needed more time to prepare and to ensure that our neighbours, of all ages and abilities, were going to be taken care of,� Smith told the Trent Hills Independent. “I believe the people of Hastings, businesses included, are now ready to have this closure over and done with.

“What has Parks Canada been doing these past two years? In my opinion, the lack of transparency between those who should know and those who need to know is absolutely unacceptable. It’s not just the bridge, it’s people’s livelihoods and that fact seems to have been overlooked by everyone who’s in charge.� Smith hopes people “don’t lose faith that this is something we can get through with the right amount of preparation.� She also hopes Parks Canada is not thinking of a closure during the 2015 boating season. “It seems our community and way of life has been de-prioritized so I wouldn’t be surprised.�

closure.� “Our focus has always been that our most vulnerable residents of this village would have their needs met.� With the most recent bit of news, the Helpers are at the “point where there is not much they can do in the way of meetings and general public knowledge because there’s nothing to discuss as the closure keeps getting pushed off.� Smith’s afraid they’ll “lose the momentum� as time goes by. “People aren’t going to prepare for something they don’t believe is going to happen and that’s a scary thought.� She was “appalled� to learn the job hasn’t been contracted out yet.

part, we realize the bridge is in desperate need of repair and are doing everything we can to prepare for closure.� People had steeled themselves for things to happen in January, Smith says.

You just kind of welcome everyone and say, ‘here we go again.’� The fair offers a warm welcome to city folk who may never get a chance to get close to animals, Dornan says. “You’re coming to nature. This is as close to nature as you’re going to get if you live in a city. And you’ve got all the fun stuff, the rides, the games, the food, the people.� “It’s an amazing privilege to be the Norwood Fair president,� Dornan added. “The fair shows an important part of our history.� “It allows us to show the world who we are,� Mayor Doug Pearcy said, “It focuses many eyes on this community [and] it’s all about the volunteers here in Asphodel-Norwood.� It’s a chance to “really experience what rural life is all about,� Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Jeff Leal added. Agriculture is a huge part of the Ontario economy, Leal pointed out, generating $3.4 billion in GDP and employing 743,000 people. And as Peterborough MPP Leal says he couldn’t think of a better place to showcase Ontario’s rural side than at the Norwood Fair. “This is the most amazing time of the year,� said Fair Ambassador Rachel English. She says it is “truly astonishing� to see the way the volunteer team pulls together to bring the fair to life. “It’s all about rural values, our traditions and the people who volunteer to put it on,� Peterborough County Warden J. Murray Jones added.

OPINION

Bolivia and Brazil

Editorial - To nobody’s great surprise, Bolivia’s President Evo Morales has won a third five-year term by a landslide majority. It’s no surprise because Bolivia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has tripled since he took office in 2006. The number of people living in poverty has fallen by a quarter, even the poorest now have the right to a pension, and illiteracy has fallen to zero. Of course he won. What has happened in Bolivia seems as miraculous as what happened in Brazil, where another left-wing president, Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva, took office in 2003. The economy started growing at five per cent a year, unemployment fell steeply, and some 40 million Brazilians, almost a quarter of the population, were lifted out of poverty. Lula’s former chief of staff and successor as president, Dilma Rousseff, is also likely to win another term in office. Is there some secret they share? Many other South American economies have been growing fast too, but without the dramatic change in the distribution of income that has happened in Brazil and Bolivia. Even the late Hugo Chavez’s “Bolivarian revolution” in Venezuela, for all its anti-imperialist rhetoric and despite the country’s great oil wealth, has not delivered a comparable transformation in the lives of the poor. Evo Morales has another claim to fame, too. He comes from the poorest of the poor: “Until I was 14, I had no idea there was such a thing as underwear. I slept in my clothes … (which) my mother only removed for two reasons: to look for lice or to patch an elbow or a knee,” he wrote in his recent autobiography. He spent only a short time in school, and he did not become fluent in Spanish until he was a young adult. Morales grew up speaking Aymara, one of the languages spoken by Bolivia’s indigenous peoples. They are a two-thirds majority of the country’s population, but in almost 200 years of independence Morales is the first indigenous Bolivian to become president (all previous presidents were drawn from the 15 per cent white minority). And his government passed a new constitution in 2009 that entrenches indigenous rights in politics and in law. So should we hail the arrival of a new and better model for economic growth and social justice? Unfortunately, no. The only economic

secret that Lula, Dilma and Evo all share is that if you want the economy to grow, you must not frighten the horses. The international markets got ready for a meltdown when Lula, a self-taught former trade union leader with a penchant for radical rhetoric, became president of Brazil, but he turned out to be the very soul of fiscal responsibility. And although Morales nationalised a large part of the Bolivian economy—oil, gas, tin and zinc mining and key utilities—he negotiated deals that compensated foreign investors and kept the markets happy. All the rest of it—things like Morales calling Barack Obama “an imperialist” at the UN General Assembly meeting in New York last month, and Rousseff cancelling a scheduled state visit to the United States last year after Edward Snowden revealed that the U.S. National Security Agency had been spying on her emails—simply doesn’t worry serious investors so long as the numbers come out right and the financial and fiscal environment is predictable. So Morales has not been punished by the markets for being a “socialist,” and neither has Rousseff. Both still have strong support at home, too. Unlike Morales, Rousseff didn’t get enough votes in the first round of the presidential election earlier this month to avoid a run-off on October 26, but she will probably win again even though the Brazilian economy is now teetering on the brink of a recession. Despite all the similarities, however, comparing Brazil and Bolivia is rather like comparing apples and oranges here. Brazil has a very large and diversified internal market (fourth largest carmaker in the world, for example), and has 20 times as many people as Bolivia. The latter has an economy that is almost totally dependent on the export of commodities, mainly oil, gas and minerals. Bolivia’s soaring GDP of the past decade, and the modest prosperity it has brought to what was South America’s poorest country, is mostly fairy gold. What goes up usually comes down again eventually, and what drove Bolivia’s GDP up was almost entirely rising commodity prices. When they come down again, so will the GDP, the government’s income, and its ability to support even the sketchiest outline of a welfare state. In the meantime, Morales has spent the extra money wisely, and it will be very hard for any successor to abandon this kind of “social spending.” He has also made it normal for Bolivia’s indigenous majority to have a big say in policy decisions at the national level, and that too will be almost impossible to roll back. He has even built up big financial reserves to cope with falling commodity prices. But he has not really transformed the economy.

The birth of a child brings joy and new hope By John Campbell Editorial - If the world held true to form, its population grew by more than 200,000 people September 8, as it does most every day. But this day was a special one for the Campbell clan: Stella Mae Vera arrived, to begin life as Jesse’s little sister. It’s a role, among others, she will grow into while carving out one that’s distinctly her own. Right now, life is pretty simple for Stella: Eat. Sleep. Repeat. Which she’s good at—as well as soiling her diapers and squalling. Jesse blazed a trail his baby sister seems wail-bent on following. To be honest, there haven’t been many heart-to-hearts between grandfather and granddaughter thus far, and any that have taken place have been one-sided and in a language that would be embarrassing if spoken in the company of adults. Stella, I’m sure, will keep up her end of the conversation in time, and even come to monopolize it, as little girls who turn into teenagers and then become wives often do. (Stella, there’s one thing you should know about grandfathers. They do like to tease. Oh, yes, and don’t ever pull a finger when they point one at you. Wait a minute. Never mind, that’s something only grandsons have to worry about with their grandfathers. Other grandsons. I would never stoop so low as that to get a cheap laugh. I much prefer sticking out the tongue and blowing, to mimic the funny lower body noise that never fails to crack people up. Especially at council meetings and funerals. When done in good taste.) I know Stella’s way too young to read this—I’m about a year too early, I reckon— but I thought I’d put my thoughts down in writing while I still have thoughts and mind enough to record them. (And in going back over what I’ve written so far, readers, I’m with you in wondering why bother). Anyway, my advice to Stella, in preparing for a long life ahead, is that she eat well, keep active, and get plenty of sleep. It’s advice I have followed only fitfully over the years but she need only look at my person and know my story to accept the truth of what I say. “Gramps, you’re a wreck; I never want to be like you!”

Kids say the darndest things, never realizing until too late it could get them written out of the will. I do have a will around someplace— willpower’s another story—which I will have to update, with the family tree having grown a new limb. Can’t remember its contents but one thing worth considering is to append an apology for a generation, for the Baby Boomers such as myself. (But we were enabled and so are not alone in our guilt.) We’re to blame, members of my generation, for the state of the world today and as much as it has changed for the better in the last 50 years, there remains, to our shame, much too much cause for grief in the millions of lives lost to racial hatred, territorial disputes, religious zealotry, political calculation and wanton neglect. To this number are added the lives that have been spared but woefully diminished by the very same forces that show no sign of abating. Can it be said we have given our best effort to ridding the world of their presence? And what shape will planet Earth be physically before the end of the century? The various environmental realities being posited are too dreadful to contemplate. Which is why Stella’s arrival, an occasion of great joy—as was her brother’s birth, and that of their mother and uncle—is accompanied by a great deal of hope, that she and her generation will be successful where we were not. That countries will find peace, Earth will be protected, and people everywhere will have the opportunity to realize their full potential. It’s a tall order that proved more than we Baby Boomers could handle. And it will take more than one generation to achieve. But all that seems possible when gazing into an elfin face unmarked by want, fear, hate and prejudice, and whose heart is pure and innocent. Welcome to life, Stella. Every second is precious. Just like you. So treat each one with care. (Oh, and one more thing. When your grandfather grabs your nose, he really doesn’t have it between his fingers. He put it behind your ear where he keeps his quarters.)

Municipality will make toboggan hill By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - Get ready for some winter fun on Havelock-BelmontMethuen’s very own toboggan run. Council has agreed to clear space for a toboggan hill in the western section of the Mathison Conservation property just north of the village and has also approved a plan to create a designated parking area at the west entrance to the Mathison site.

Signatures keep piling up on LTC petitions News - Havelock - People from Marmora to Hastings are signing petitions in support of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen’s efforts to bring a 128-bed long-term-care facility to the community. Seniors dynamo Betty Thwaites has collected 1,624 signatures on petitions she’s placed in a variety of locations in Havelock, Cordova Mines, Marmora, Hastings and Norwood and she expects to get even more. “I wanted 2,000 but I’ll get more,” Thwaites said while presenting township council with a folder filled with petitions. “I did talk to a lot of people who were really concerned about having this longterm-care facility,” she said. “They’re really concerned that Havelock does not have one and that’s what this town should have. “The response that I got was just unbelievable.” Thwaites also mentioned that she had talked to people who suggested that a dialysis facility could be incorporated into the design of a long-term-care centre. Travel to and from larger centres for dialysis treatment is very expensive and there are a number of people in the area that do this multiple times a week, Thwaites said. “That’s something to look at down the road when the long-term-care centre is built.” “I’m really pleased at how many people have signed [the petitions] and I’d like to thank each and every one and all the businesses that let me put petitions there; it really helped. You’re doing a great job.” Mayor Ron Gerow returned the praise thanking Thwaites for her singular efforts. He said he saw a petition at the Trent River General Store and it buoyed his spirits. “The community is certainly behind it and all the names we can get on the petition can only help the situation,” Gerow said. The mayor told Thwaites that HBM’s “revised application” presented to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care in August included a “summation” on dialysis.

Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, October 16, 2014 9

News - Trent Hills - When members of a steering committee set out to form a Probus Club in Trent Hills, they thought it would be a success if it could attract 70 members. It turns out they aimed their sights too low. Interest in joining a club that promotes “fun, friendship and learning” was so great that “amazingly … membership had to be capped at 150, resulting in a waiting list,” outgoing president Bill Hogle told the first annual general meeting of the Probus Club of Trent Hills last week.

“Elect Jim Martin for Deputy Mayor”

“After 3 terms on Council I am ready for a change, aren’t you?” “I have a proven ability to balance the needs of all ratepayers, including seasonal residents, township residents, seniors, youth and business people in the township of “Havelock Belmont Methuen” 705-778-3764

That put pressure on the newly elected management committee to deliver, and, “happily, a year later many of you have told me we kept our word,” he said. “Members are having fun and clearly many new friendships have been forged.” And interest in Probus continues to grow, forcing the club to raise the limit on member numbers to 175 at its AGM, to accommodate the 22 people currently on its waiting list. It “will also help us get closer to breaking even” on door fees charged each meeting to pay for the rental of the auditorium at St. John’s United Church, catering and other costs, Hogle added. Attendance at the monthly meetings, which usually feature a guest speaker, has been “a little less” than the number required to cover those expenses. “At $2.50, ours is the lowest [among Probus clubs] and we want to keep it that way,” Hogle said. He praised two members of the management committee who retired from their roles at the meeting. Treasurer Bob Bennett is “an inspired, get-things-done kind of guy [who’s]

guided by a crystal clear vision of where he wants to go, and he won’t quit until he gets there,” he said. “That commitment is what got Probus here today.” Communications manager Dave MacDougall is “another results-oriented fellow [who is] community-spirited,” he added. Hogle also moved on, to become past-president, making way for vicepresident Art Linton, who commended the work done by Bennett and MacDougall as well, and welcomed the management committee’s three new members, Steve Wood, Dianne Williamson and Jim Kelleher. In his last duty as treasurer, Bennett reported on the club’s revenues and expenditures. “We’ve had a very successful year and we are well-positioned financially,” he said. “It has been a very rewarding experience for me to participate in the establishment of the Trent Hills club. It is my earnest hope that you, our members, have found it equally rewarding and that this club will continue to thrive for many years into the future.”

Outfield at ball park could get makeover

News - Havelock - A plan to level the outfield at the Havelock ball diamond will be part of the municipality’s 2015 budget discussions at an estimated cost of between $50,000 and $55,000. “The outfield area has a few low spots and has been in that condition for many years,” Deputy-clerk and Economic Development Officer Brian Grattan said. The outfield is rolled annually, Grattan said, adding that the

infield is “fine” and in good shape and was levelled at the beginning of the ball park season. The work on the outfield would include the placement of screened sand and screened topsoil, grading and sod placement as well as supplies and equipment time. Council felt a meeting with the local ball league organization would be in order so they could have a full discussion about possible outfield work. Councillor Jim Martin reminded

council that they had talked about the possibility of having a meeting with the organization at the end of the season much like they do with the Havelock Heat program and have done with Havelock Minor Hockey. This would be the “Cadillac of fixing things out,” he noted of the project. He thought it would be good for the ball league to talk to council first-hand about field-related issues and park rental rates. Continued on page 11

Cuddles for Cancer gets MP’s support Faith says, “whether your cause is local or global. I would like to encourage everyone in the city and county to get out there on October 25 and volunteer in some way.” There are many ways to make a difference, she said. People can plant trees, donate blood, drop off toys to the Crossroads Shelter, visit a senior’s centre or make scarves for the homeless. “I think it’s a wonderful way to bring us all together for one day to make a difference.” Del Mastro called Faith a “shining example of how much change one person can make. “With only a willingness to help and with a kind heart she is doing her part.” The Peterborough MP will be making a difference on October 25 by donating blood at the Canadian Blood Services’ permanent clinic.

“I think it would be a good discussion.” “I know the ball leagues have worked hard this summer and it’s been used a lot, probably more than in the past,” Mayor Ron Gerow said. The municipality’s maintenance mandate extends to multiple parks across the township, Gerow added. He also noted there is quite a range of fee rates for ball park

usage across the district. “I think there is an opportunity to look at all of those things,” he said. Councillor Barry Pomeroy suggested the ball league think about a fund-raising campaign that could help offset some of the costs of an outfield improvement project. “We just can’t go out and spend $55,000 on a ball field. That’s right

out of our tax dollars,” Pomeroy said. “I still think that if people did some fund raising they could probably raise part of that and maybe we could get a grant for part of it,” he said. “We should meet with them and lay our cards on the table.” Council received Grattan’s report and referred it to the 2015 budget process.

everyone to follow her example and see how they may be able to make a difference.” Since founding the program as a nine-year-old she has raised over $15,000 and delivered more than 700 cuddle blankets to cancer patients across Canada and other countries. For her work she has been named an outstanding Ontario junior citizen, received a Peterborough County Recognition Award and been selected as one of the Build-A-Bear’s global finalists for “making a positive impact on their community and the world.” “This is a young woman who is enabling change in helping others,” Del Mastro said in a statement in the House of Commons. “Now she is challenging all of us to do the same. The compassion and ambition Faith demonstrates is something to be admired.” Faith wants everyone to participate in a special day to “Make a Difference” and has selected October 25, following a similar celebration in the United States. “I believe that you can never be too young to make a difference,”

News - Peterborough - The work of a compassionate and big-hearted 12-year-old Faith Dickinson is getting a boost from Peterborough MP Dean Del Mastro as he throws his support behind Cuddles for Cancer and Make a Difference Day. The young Lakefield resident founded the Cuddles for Cancer program which delivers handmade fleece tie blankets to cancer patients and their families. She created the program in 2012 after hearing that cancer patients often get cold during their treatments. Her goal was to spread “warmth, comfort and love.” “I am a firm believer that kids can make a difference in their communities if they are provided with the opportunities,” said Faith, a Grade 7 student. She and Del Mastro stopped at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre’s Cancer Care Centre this week to give blankets to patients now undergoing treatment. “I am very touched by Faith’s compassion for those suffering through this terrible disease,” Del Mastro said. “I want to encourage

Township will continue efforts to resolve NDHS sign flap By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - Asphodel-Norwood Mayor Doug Pearcy says he’ll take part in a meeting with Norwood District High School officials and a school neighbour in an effort to mollify a complaint about the high school’s new electronic sign on Elm Street. For the second council meeting in a row the sign issue was discussed, this time in a report by CAO Joe van Koeverden that maintained the municipality did not violate the site agreement when it moved the sign ten metres to the west after receiving advice from utility services about proximity to a hydro line. The original intent two years ago was to install the sign directly across from

the school’s main doorway, but that was altered because of nearness to utility wires so they selected a location closer to King Street. Resident Shelley Gauthier voiced strong opposition to the new sign’s location at an earlier council meeting calling the sign an “eyesore” that would lower the value of her home on the corner of Elm and King Streets. In van Koeverden’s report he said an opinion from a realtor indicated that the sign would not have a negative impact on the value of the home and that access to the driveway, another concern of Gauthier’s would, not be imperilled because the sign was on an embankment. Mr. van Koeverden also told

council that in the original agreement responsibility for addressing complaints rested with the school not the municipality. He added that the township’s solicitor had suggested they do nothing about the complaint. “I don’t think we should abandon this completely,” Mayor Doug Pearcy said. “I think the township has an interest here.” Mayor Pearcy thought there was going to be a meeting between township staff, the school and the Gauthiers to discuss the sign and said there still needed to be one. “I will attend as mayor to see what we can come up with,” he said. Councillor Mary Hay pointed out that the agreement also indicated that once

the sign had been “energized” it should be reviewed one evening to assess impacts. “That kind of leaves it unfinished,” Hay said. “I think that might be good to follow up on.” Deputy-mayor Joe Crowley re-stated his own opposition to the sign’s location and emphasized that in a short formal letter to the township. Crowley has always felt there were better locations in the village for a sign. He argues that putting the sign on a municipal right-ofway was inappropriate. The public school board signed a lease agreement with the municipality allowing them to utilize a portion of township property. Crowley also says he is “deeply

concerned” that the township had the “municipality’s lawyer on speed dial” and that they sought the opinion of a professional realtor. “We are just making the picture a lot bigger,” he said. “It’s just getting out of whack. In my opinion it’s a common sense thing, if it couldn’t be installed on board property it should have been brought back to council to deal with.” Mayor Pearcy pointed out that the lease and site agreement were dealt with by council. Crowley also felt that NDHS officials “didn’t have much authority” and that they should be dealing with the superintendent of schools, the director of education and board personnel responsible for property management.

New sign coming to HBM community centre By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - A new sign will be installed at the Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Community Centre with the primary goal of promoting events at the facility and the adjacent park. The municipality is partnering with the Havelock Lions, which is donating $1,500 toward the project.

Township council approved the acquisition and installation of a “trac” sign at a cost of not more than $20,000. Trac signs are similar to the one at the Hastings Civic Centre and the sign recently installed near the Norwood Post Office. The four-foot by eightfoot Havelock sign will have a square top rather than the

peaked tops featured in Hastings and Norwood. There will be access to hydro so the sign can be illuminated at night. The municipality has received two quotes for the trac sign ranging in price from $12,740 to $18,950 before HST. “I think it will be very handy as far as events go at the arena,” said Councillor Jim Martin.

Martin recalled being asked by visitors on July 1 why there were so many cars at the community centre and had to tell them about Canada Day festivities which had been moved indoors because of threatening weather. “The price looks good to me [as opposed] to what I was envisioning,” said Deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe. There was also a brief discussion about a policy governing what goes on the sign; the municipality will be the controlling authority and will follow a policy similar to the one that governs the electronic sign on Highway #7. “We will put in a very similar policy,” says HBM Deputy-clerk and Economic Development Officer Brain Grattan. “One thing that might change is that events taking place at the community centre be given priority.” But Grattan noted that if there is a major event happening in the township during the summer when the community centre is not being used he would like to see the sign utilized to promote that event. “During the winter months special events coming up at the community centre should be given priority,” he said. “The control will be with the municipality, like the electronic sign.” He says people are “pretty understanding” when it comes to the Highway #7 sign policy.

Helping food bank a weighty matter for public school students By John Campbell

News - Campbellford - Students at Kent Public School weighed in on the issue of hunger in this country last Friday. They did it by handing in bags and boxes of food they had collected during the week for the 11th annual FCC Drive Away Hunger tour held across Canada. Staff from the Farm Credit Corporation’s Frankford office weighed

the food and then delivered the donations to the Campbellford, Warkworth and District Fare Share Food Bank. A total of 617 pounds of food was collected, with Mark Carlen’s Grade 8 and Sarah Budgell’s Grade 6/7 classes tying for the largest amount donated, 83 pounds, earning themselves a pizza party as a prize. Jennifer Dryburgh, a relationship

management associate with FCC, thanked the school for its support of the program, which goes back five years. “You guys do a fantastic job year after year, so thank you very much.� Dryburgh said before the assembly that Kent is “such a community-minded school� that it “jumped on board� when given the opportunity to get involved in Drive Away Hunger.

“It’s quite an effort that Farm Credit does every year� to help feed the hungry, she said. It’s the largest employee-driven food drive in Canada and the corporation’s goal this year is to collect three million pounds of food. “FCC Drive Away Hunger is one of the ways we give back to the rural communities where our customers

and employees live and work,� FCC president and CEO Greg Stewart said earlier this year. He noted hunger touches nearly 850,000 Canadians each month, many of them children. Beginning in May and continuing until the end of this week, Farm Credit has also been collecting food and cash donations at its field offices across Canada.

Homeowners are increasingly extending their living spaces outside the walls of their homes. Expansive and intricate stonework patios and decked-out outdoor kitchens are the kind of additions many homeowners dream of. Those with unlimited budgets can enjoy just about any look they desire, but many homeowners may not have the money to go all the way with their outdoor living spaces. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to create budget-friendly spaces that are functional, fun and eye catching. Decks and patios are popular gathering spots outside a home, and homeowners have numerous inexpensive options at their disposal when choosing patio materials. And those who can do their own labor when installing a patio can save a substantial amount of money. Instead of higher-priced composite or resin

decks, homeowners can go with standard wood, which will need to be stained periodically. Scaling back the size of the deck means less materials to buy and less labor involved. The cost of patio blocks depends on the material and style. Poured concrete patios will cost less than placed blocks or stones because concrete is less labor-intensive. For those who desire the look of patio blocks without the cost, stamped concrete can mimic the look for less. Homeowners may not need to replace patio furniture, even if chairs and tables have seen better days. A can of spray paint can cover up any rusted areas or spots where paint has peeled off due to exposure to the elements. Updating cushions and purchasing a coordinating umbrella can revitalize the patio’s entire look. Also, very often stores run sales to clear out

Sometimes saving means repurposing antiques or items found at garage sales. Thanks to the Internet, people can easily advertise items they no longer need or desire. A person can search for backyard items they need at a deep discount if they are fine with previously used materials. From patio furniture to masonry blocks to above-ground pools, patient homeowners can find just about any item they may need to upgrade their backyards. Though not all homeowners can afford to create the backyard of their dreams, with a little ingenuity and some sweat hard work, homeowners can still create an outdoor oasis.

merchandise for new displays. Defining edges of planting borders and refreshing the landscape may be all that is needed to improve the yard. This is easily achieved with inexpensive mulch and some vinyl edging. While cleaning up the yard, use a pressure washer to clean stains off of siding and patios and create a like-new appearance. End-of-season sales can also be the ideal opportunity to purchase big-ticket items like a pool, a hot tub or an outdoor fireplace/fire pit. Shoppers can learn when stores discount their merchandise to make room for new inventory and then use these sales as opportunities to save.

Standing-room-only crowd takes in electoral debate By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - You can only hope interest at the ballot box matches interest in the township’s big electoral debate at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 300. A standing-room-only crowd took in the meeting which featured mayoral and deputy-mayoral candidates as well as council hopefuls and public school board candidates. Economic development, the fate of Norwood District High School and roads were among issues discussed by Mayor Doug Pearcy and challenger Terry Low, a former township deputyreeve and chair of the Otonabee Region Conservation Authority and Deputy-mayor Joe Crowley and his challenger Rodger Bonneau, a local business owner and president of the Norwood Lions Club. “It’s a very difficult election [to] make predictions about the future of the municipality given the uncertainty of what the province has in store for us given their huge problem of balancing the budget,” Pearcy said. While Pearcy is pleased policing costs will drop by $17,000 to $646,000 under the

new OPP billing formula, the loss of $57,000 in Ontario Municipal Partnership Funding over the past two years and the warning to “expect even larger cuts in 2015” is a “concern” AsphodelNorwood must face. Local challenges like hikes in fuel and hydro costs and “lots of things” mandated by the province over which they have “little control” add to the financial pressures of keeping municipal taxes low, he said. “If things turn out okay and we’re not hurt too badly by this there are a few things the new council should take a look at,” said Pearcy. Those include new LED streetlights, burying some downtown wires, expanding the hard-topping program and doing more to promote economic development. Pearcy said uncertainty over NDHS is a “deterrent to economic development.” “We need to secure that school and be told publicly that it’s not going to close,” he said. Pearcy suggested that having more NDHS teachers buying homes in Asphodel-Norwood and “establishing themselves as part of the community” would be

beneficial. “That’seconomicdevelopment and that’s what we need.” Utilizing NDHS for continuing education is something to be considered, Low said. “We could do a lot with this school if we think outside the box.” Asked about the ongoing issue of hard-topped concession roads, Pearcy was candid: “There will never be enough money to hardtop all our roads. “I think there’s more we can do,” he conceded. Low said the municipality should set aside a fixed amount of money each year earmarked for hard-topping and pick out “a set of roads” and move progressively forward. Deputy-mayor Crowley said Asphodel-Norwood needed a five-year plan for “hard-top and chip on roads” and “don’t deviate from that plan.” As an economic development stimulus Crowley thinks the township should “work hard at expanding Pleasant Meadow Manor Nursing Home” to help meet the demand for long-termcare beds in the county. “I feel strongly about that.”

A standing-room-only crowd took in the Asphodel-Norwood candidates meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion. Taking part during the first half of the event were (l-r) public school board candidate and former trustee Verna Shackleton, current trustee Shirley Patterson, Mayor Doug Pearcy, mayoral challenger Terry Low, Deputy-mayor Joe Crowley and Deputy-mayor hopeful Rodger Bonneau.

“Shop where you live, that’s how you make communities grow,” Bonneau said. Bonneau also supports the municipality’s community improvement loan program

for downtown building facades, a program he has used successfully. In what was a restrained and temperate meeting, Crowley took one public barb for the lawsuit he

has filed against the township. “I feel that you are suing me as a taxpayer and every person in this room. You should be ashamed of yourself,” a ratepayer said.

Now, two years after moving here full time she’s taking her first run at township council in Havelock ward facing off against incumbent Barry Pomeroy and Jonathan Prosser. “I am running for office because I am a firm believer in giving back to your community,� Clement said. “I have always said that when I retired I would get involved in local politics. Retirement is coming soon and it was time to test the waters,� said the 35-year employee of Bell Canada’s engineering department in Peterborough.

Higgins says economic growth needs to be “facilitated through a renewed emphasis on community and economic development.� He also wants “added support� for local business, a buy local campaign that “highlights existing assets� promotes the township as a place for tourists; that ties in with what he’s dubbed a “destination project� intended to market HBM and its features. Council needs to develop an infrastructure plan that uses “non-tax funds� to “repair and restore� links to properties in the municipality, says Higgins. It also needs a recreation plan to “prepare us to respond to growth opportunities in an organized manner.� Environmental protection is also a “priority,� says Higgins. “[A] policy is needed allowing room for growth and development while

keeping the purity of our air, lands and water intact.� Higgins feels the municipality is in a good position to move forward and “facilitate the smooth and prosperous growth of the community. “Structure and support are necessary to stimulate economic and social function and growth for people while not becoming onerous to those it supports. Balance will be the key.� Higgins says most people do take an interest in council and what the municipality does and that’s reflected in the number of candidates running in the election. That being said, Higgins still finds an “attitude of apathy and lack of understanding� in others when it comes to municipal government and how it functions. “A way must be found to make it clear that members of the community have a welcome place in the business function of the municipality,� Higgins says. Higgins says the chance to represent a diverse population is a motivating influence in running for council. “Those who know me and those yet to get to know me will see that my motivation is community.�

Higgins has long been an active member of the community and is currently president of the Havelock and District Chamber of Commerce, the local ATV club and is the township’s representative on the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance. He says he’s been asked in the past to run for council but hesitated because he felt his employment with the Havelock T r a i n i n g Education And Careers Havelock (TEACH) Centre would put him in conflict on issues that were “dear to [his] heart.� Now that he works at Havelock

husband ran his own towing business in Peterborough for 33 years and before that was a Peterborough City police officer. Clement still remains involved with Habitat for Humanity in Peterborough and has been a captain of a Dragon Boat, walked for both the Kids Help Line and the Alzheimer Society’s Walk for Memories. She and her mother, who lived on Concession Street and her sister, were long-time participants in Bowling for Big Brothers and Big Sisters. So giving back comes naturally. Clement is a strong supporter of HBM’s long-term-care facility campaign and wants to see business and economic growth in the village to “ensure a future for our younger generation. She has also suggested something like an indoor swimming pool would benefit residents of all ages. “We could offer lessons, water

aerobics and swim meets,� she says. “This could also help our neighbouring communities.� Clement says she has quite a bit of positive feedback about her decision to run for office. “Quite a few people have said it’s time for a change. The only negative feedback is that people feel they should be able to vote for me whether they live in town or in the rural part of this community.� Clement says she would like to see the municipality develop a newsletter to help people keep up with township business. “Not everyone has access to a computer to read what has been happening at council,� she says. Clement says she wishes she had met more people in the community before running but points to her campaign flyer which urges those who have not met her to contact her at home. “I would like to be part of the future changes.�

Council hopeful wants to get community involved in strategic planning children; during that time she’s been involved in a variety of community groups including the Hucklebug Childcare parent advisory board for four years, ten years on the Norwood District Minor Sports executive, the Norwood Youth Group and a Norwood fair volunteer. Running for office fits in with her desire to contribute to the community, she says. “I have always been interested in doing my part and giving back to the community and feel this is a great opportunity to do so. I work well in a team environment and appreciate the importance of forward thinking and would like to be part of that change.” Barrett says “new ideas and a fresh voice” are needed to “vitalize the community.” Council, she says, will have some major challenges to face during the next four years including funding cuts from all levels of senior government,

increased downloading of services, population stagnation and the fact that Peterborough County has an increasingly aging population. Asphodel-Norwood may also face doctor recruitment challenges and has some major infrastructure decisions regarding existing services. The municipality needs to have shovel-ready projects always on the table to cash in on provincial and federal funding opportunities, she adds. “It’s critical that councillors remain transparent and accountable to our community for their decisions and actions,” Barrett says. “Council also needs to focus on their elected roles [which] include implementing policies and ensuring fiscal responsibility and allow staff to manage day to day operations.” “Job role ambiguity can be a major factor and be a strong factor in the ability to have a functional council and health working environment for both council

and municipal employees.” Barrett is buoyed by the support and “positive feedback” she’s received on the campaign trail. She says there’s a real interest in having some new representation on council. “I think in this election and [with the] choices it presents people seem to be more interested. Our community deserves to have a council that can properly function and be accountable for their actions and decisions.” Bianca Barrett is running for a council seat in Getting people of all ages involved Asphodel-Norwood. in municipal planning through things like town hall forums, focus groups and surveys are things Barrett feels strongly about.

This is Barrett’s first run at municipal council and she admits she has lots to learn but is confident she has the “necessary skills and willingness to work hard in representing the needs and voice of our community.” Barrett works for the Ministry of Health with a primary focus on community health and well-being, a role that involves “community engagement, program planning and facilitation.” She and her family moved to Norwood 19 years ago where they’ve raised two

News - Peterborough County - The Peterborough County Cattlemen’s Association made two significant donations using the proceeds from the association’s annual beef barbecue to benefit two worthy local causes. This year’s thirty-third annual barbecue at the Walsh Family’s Skibereen Farms on the Burnham Line in Otonabee-South Monaghan Township raised $8,400 with the proceeds split evenly between Team 55: Let’s Tackle Suicide Awareness and the Otonabee-South Monaghan Firefighters equipment fund. Each group received $4,200. Francis Walsh and his son Barry run a fifth generation farm with an extensive cattle and cropping operation. Over 50 volunteers, members of the Cattlemen’s Association as well as the OSM Fire Department, helped out at the barbecue. “Team 55 is having a major impact on raising suicide awareness in our community,” says Garnet Toms, Cattlemen’s Association President. “The Cattlemen are very pleased to help in their work of making us a suicide-free community.” Team 55 co-founder Dave Pogue was moved by the Cattlemen’s gesture. “Receiving such a generous donation is especially fitting during Suicide Awareness Week,” Pogue said. “I continue to be blown away by the generosity of community groups such as the Cattlemen. We are honoured to receive these funds for Team 55 suicide prevention programs.” Mark Telford is not only a Cattlemen’s Association director and barbecue fund-raising chair he is also a volunteer firefighter in Selwyn Township. “As a volunteer firefighter I am keenly aware of the vital work of the Otonabee-South Monaghan firefighters in protecting township residents,” Telford said. “The Cattlemen always like to support the township where we host our barbecue.” “The Cattlemen’s donation is more than we ever imagined,” said Dan Hutchinson, a captain with the OSM fire department and chair of the firefighter’s equipment committee. Hutchinson says the $4,200 will help the department purchase much needed equipment “to protect residents living and travelling through our township.” The OSM fire department has four fire stations and over 90 volunteers and staff.

Hospital adopts new approach for dealing with frail, elderly patients

By John Campbell

News - Campbellford Campbellford Memorial Hospital is moving in a new direction in how it treats older people with serious health conditions. The PATH it’s chosen, Palliative and Therapeutic Harmonization, is to help frail, elder patients understand their state of health and give them and their families the means to make complex health-care decisions “that protect their best interests and quality of life,” clinical service manager Kerry Shudall told hospital directors last week. PATH brings together therapeutic care, which aims to solve a person’s health problems, and palliative care, which “seeks to reduce a person’s suffering by controlling symptoms of pain or nausea” without trying to solve the underlying problem. Jan Raine, chief nursing officer, said in a statement: “There are times when it is appropriate to take all the possible therapeutic measures to cure or delay the progression of illness. However, at other times, for example, with a frail, older adult with multiple health issues, this approach may cause more harm than good. People who are frail may not be able to tolerate or benefit from the complex medical and surgical treatments that tend to benefit healthier

people. When a person is in the final stage of his or her life, then palliative care is often the most compassionate course of action.” Shudall said the two physicians who developed PATH flew in from Nova Scotia to train members of the hospital’s health care team, which includes family physicians, nurse practitioners, and physiotherapists. The program is designed to reduce repetitive assessments of patients and at the same time improve their relevance and use in planning for subsequent care. It’s also intended to improve communication between team members and navigation of the health-care system by patients and their families. A frailty assessment tool looks at such things as a patient’s mobility, cognitive function, and socialization, to identify possible “red flags” in the person’s behaviour. This is followed by a Collaborative Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment that “digs a lot deeper to get some of the pieces of the puzzle together,” Shudall said. Family members are consulted to obtain “quite a lot of detail” about the patient’s life, related to banking, driving, shopping, cooking, personal hygiene, household upkeep and medication. They’re also asked about current events and the names

of family members, all of which helps determine whether they have a mild, moderate or severe form of dementia. The findings are discussed in a meeting with the patient, family and family physician, and an action plan developed, that could include discussions of “end of life choices, if appropriate,” Raine said in the news release issued by the hospital. “We’re openly having conversations about advanced care planning with them,” Shudall said. “We realize this is not for everyone and not every family is receptive to some of these questions, but the majority of them are.” She told the board “it’s really important” patients understand their frailty “and that we help them make decisions about their health so we’re not crisis managing” later on. In the absence of a plan, “a lot of families carry a burden [of] guilt” for not knowing what to do when parents are incapable of making a decision on their own. The benefits of PATH include encouraging advanced care planning, fostering collaboration among healthcare providers, and creating a better understanding of dementia, which “is not understood as much as it needs to be,” Shudall said. Families also feel empowered knowing they’re helping parents who are frail and elderly make more informed choices, she added. Since June, the hospital has employed PATH to help 16 patients while Trent Hills Family Health Team has assisted nine, booked another six and started up a wait list, Shudall said. “CMH is one of the first hospitals to adopt the PATH approach to elder patient care,” the hospital stated.

Madoc now,” said Whalen. He is president of the Belleville Minor Hockey Association. According to Wikipedia Antoski played minor hockey for the Don Mills Flyers Midgets in 1986-1987 and he played junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League with the North Bay Centennials. He later was a draft pick of the Vancouver Canucks. Early in the 1994-1995 season Antoski was dealt to the Philadelphia Flyers for Josef and participated in a lengthy play-off run as Philadelphia reached the conference finals. “We are hoping other exNHL’ers and OHL’ers will be here on our opening night too,” said Whalen. No further details were available prior to press time. “We do know that Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan has confirmed he will do the ceremonial puck drop,” he added. “I think Stompin’ Jon will be there for the national anthem,” he said. Stompin’ Jon Jon Finlan, originally from Trenton and now a resident of Wooler, has also played at Casino Niagara and at the Purple Hill Country Music Hall in London, with Al Widemeyer, Stompin’

Tom Connors buddy and band mate. Others have been invited to the opening game. “I have invited all local churches, all local dignitaries and [municipal] candidates to the event. I have also invited the Warkworth firefighters and the Warkworth Community Service Club and the original Kinsmen members to thank them for all they have done and still do for local hockey,” he noted. Whalen has big plans to showcase the young hockey players from not only the Percy team but the Norwood team as well, against whom they will be playing that night. “We are making player programs so everyone that comes to our opening game will get a program with photographs of the kids playing and a short biography of their favourite hockey players,” Whalen explained. “We will announce the kids on the ice as if it’s the NHL.” There will be a 50/50 draw, silent auction, chuck a puck (throw a puck on the ice with a number on it to win a prize) as well as free giveaways for first 50 people who arrive at the arena.

Rebels rebound after slow start to season

Sports - Campbellford After managing only one tie in their first four games, the Campbellford Rebels have turned their season around by winning three straight. The last two were recorded last weekend when the team blanked the Picton Pirates 5 0 at home Saturday and then defeated the second-place Jets in Amherstview 4 - 1 Sunday.

Sports - Warkworth - Some major star power will be on the ice at the first-ever opening night special being held to mark the start of the season for the Percy Peewee Bulldogs. It is also being seen as an opportunity to attract more players; there has been a slump in interest in minor hockey. “I told the parents and kids my mission statement for this year is to make it the best year they’ve ever had for hockey … and one of the reasons I want to make it the best year they’ve ever had is I want to promote Percy Minor Hockey,” said Peewee hockey coach Jake Whalen. “Hockey numbers are dwindling in our town and in the country. I want to bring focus back to that and make it a shining light when it comes time for players to sign up,” he added. His enthusiasm and vision are part and parcel of what he is bringing to the opening night as well. A highlight of the evening will be an appearance by Shawn Antoski, a retired Canadian professional ice hockey left winger who played eight seasons in the National Hockey League in the 1990s. “Shawn is retired and living in

A power-play goal by the home team at 8:06 ended Mahoney’s bid for a shutout. He finished with 26 saves on 28 saves. Doherty’s two goals Saturday and pair of assists Sunday moved him into a fourway tie for first place in the scoring race. He and Picton’s Phil Smith each have five goals and five assists. They share top spot with Port Hope’s Dylan Baxter (4-6) and Cameron Lowery (3-7) The pair of victories evened Campbellford’s record at 3-3-1 and lifted the team into a tie for third spot in the Empire B Junior C Hockey League with the Napanee Raiders, one point behind the Jets. The Port Hope Panthers remain the league’s lone undefeated team after seven matches. The Rebels play the Pirates in Picton October 16 and meet them again two days later at home this Saturday. Game time is 7:30 p.m. at the Campbellford arena.

Vipers kick off ACH season Saturday

By Bill Freeman

Sports - Norwood - The J.J. Stewart Vipers can’t wait to drop the puck Saturday at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre. Looking to atone for last season’s 2-21-1 record, the Vipers are icing a young dynamic team, says owner Bob McCleery who took over the Senior AAA franchise after the club’s 20122013 hiatus. “I’m very optimistic we’re going to do a lot better,” McCleery said while manning the Vipers’ booth at the Norwood Fair. They kick off action against the Stoney Creek Generals, the surprise of Allan Cup Hockey (ACH) last year with a 14-81-1 record in their inaugural season falling to the Allan Cup champion Dundas Real McCoys in the play-offs. The Generals have added ACH veterans Jeremy Bloomfield and Mike Ruberto to their lineup. Ruberto led the ACH in scoring in 2012. Both won Allan Cups with Brantford. “It’s looking good; I’m excited,” said McCleery. Norwood and Stoney Creek start ACH action a week before the rest of the league with two games against each other;

McCleery says the early start helped make the overall schedule a favourable one for Norwood with three Saturday night games, no three-game weekends, no games over Christmas and no games on Grey Cup and Super Bowl Sunday. “It’s a lot better for us,” says McCleery. He’s excited to have the Generals in town. “They’re building to have a strong team [and] that first game is going to be a good match for both teams.” Neither club has played an exhibition game so McCleery says it’s an early measuring stick. “We have a good balanced team, a younger team; the overall age is probably the youngest team in the league which I think is good for young players around that they know they’ve got someplace to play after Junior. What we’re trying to do is integrate local players into the program.” McCleery says head coach and general manager John Draper and assistant John Budd have implemented a system that will be a new look for fans. “We’re going to show some surprising things this year,”

McCleery said. “The players like the system, it’s completely new. It’s a completely different style from what you’re used to up here. What we want teams to say is, ‘Whoa, these aren’t the Norwood Vipers. These are someone new.’ That’s what we want teams to think.” Darren Doherty, one of the ACH’s marquee players and former league MVP, returns to the Vipers. This will be Doherty’s seventh year in the league and sixth with Norwood; he spent the 2012-2013 season in Whitby where he led the Dunlops in scoring. The former captain of the NCAA’s RIT Tigers has been one of senior hockey’s best players since joining the Vipers. He racked up 124 points in his first two seasons. He was the Ontario Provincial Junior Hockey League’s regular season and play-off MVP in Norwood J.J. Stewart Vipers owner Bob McCleery is excited about this Saturday’s home opener against the Stoney Creek Generals. 2001-2002 playing with the Photo: Bill Freeman Cobourg Cougars. “He’s a complete team player,” says McCleery. “If you had 20 Darren Dohertys on your team you’d have no trouble winning the Allan Cup; he’s just one of those type of players.” Face-off time October 18 is 6:30 p.m.

Pumpkin contest another way to celebrate Thanksgiving By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - Scarecrows, giant pumpkins, carved pumpkins, painted and decorated pumpkins and pumpkin pies were all on display and being judged for the annual pumpkin contest. Presented by the Campbellford & District Horticultural Society and Sharpe’s Food Market, this annual event draws a crowd every year. This Thanksgiving weekend it was a day filled with sunshine

and the chatter of children as they waited for the winners to be announced. The judges took their time making sure to examine every entry with care. Lois Bennett, who organized the event his year received a lot of help from her husband Glenn and pie taster Paul Martin along with judges Fran McCrodden and Joan Martin. Siblings Noah and Jamie Sheridan of Campbellford have

been participating in the event for many years. This year they won the first-place prize for having the heaviest pumpkin, which weighed in at 208 pounds. “We didn’t mean to grow it that big, we didn’t give it anything. We used seeds from last year’s big one it just happened naturally,” said Noah with a big grin. A loonie was handed to each participant by Laurie LaCavera and Barbara Kelleher from Sharpe’s.

News - Campbellford - Fungi can be cute and alluring or a killer hunter … knowing how to spot the difference is what people learned when they attended the recent “Fungi Walk” hosted by Friends of Ferris (FofF) Provincial Park. “Fungi can have three different types of employment, a decomposer, a farmer, or a third type of fungi which harvest sugar from trees,” said Phil Careless, an ecologist with Ontario

Parks. He conducted a quick orientation walk for the group then together they examined fungi specimens followed by a fun scavenger hunt. “In Ferris Park there are maybe 400 different species of fungi,” Careless told the Trent Hills Independent. “Some are massive big woody structures sticking out of trees where the fruiting body is like a shelf and some are like the regular little Smurf house while other ones look like a bright

Medical officer of health comments on Ebola virus By Sue Dickens

News - Peterborough - Ebola virus continues to be a major concern in parts of west Africa and now is being seen in people here in Canada and the U.S. Dr. Lynn Noseworthy, medical officer of health with the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health unit provided information to Board of Health members at a recent meeting. With thousands of cases to date, Ebola has killed about half of the people who have contracted it, Dr. Noseworthy said. She detailed to board members the signs and symptoms of Ebola, as well as how the virus is transmitted. In a press release it was noted that the Health Unit has also provided information and resources about Ebola to local health care partners. While health officials in Canada are closely monitoring the situation in Africa, there have been no Ebola cases reported to date in this country. “The risk to Ontarians remains low,� Dr. Noseworthy said. As well she addressed the board in response to a question from one of the members about the evolving situation involving Enterovirus D68. This fall, laboratory confirmed cas-

es of the Enterovirus D68 have been found in Ontario and other parts of Canada, as well as approximately a dozen states in the United States. As of September 18, no local cases of Enterovirus D68 have been confirmed. According to Public Health Ontario, Enterovirus D68 is a specific enterovirus that causes respiratory illness.

Symptoms range from a mild cold-like illness with coughing and wheezing to severe infections that require hospitalization. Symptoms range from a mild coldlike illness with coughing and wheezing to severe infections that require hospitalization. “Enterovirus D68 is more likely to affect children, since adults would have likely been exposed to it at some previous point in their lives,� Dr. Noseworthy noted. She is urging local residents to take similar precautions against Enterovirus D68, as they would with other re-

health units across the province to monitor the situation with Enterovirus D68. More information will be shared with local health care providers and area residents as the need arises, she

Tour the Haliburton Forest and Wild Life Reserve

Living - On Wednesday, October 29, visit a working sustainable forest. The Hastings Stewardship Council presents a guided tour of the world-renowned Haliburton Forest and Wild Life Reserve. Owner Dr. Peter Schleifenbaum, an expert forester and creative entrepreneur, will explain the history of his sustainable forest and many fascinating projects at this property. Haliburton Forest is a privately owned forest located on 80,000 acres of rolling hardwood forests, beautiful lakes, meander-

ing rivers and extensive wetlands in the Haliburton Highlands of central Ontario. Help us celebrate 25 years of the Trenton Woodlot Conference. As a primer for the conference, the Haliburton Forest portrays a healthy, sustainable forest. Management practices in the reserve led to the awarding of Canada’s first Forest Stewardship Certification, meeting strict environmental and social standards. Over the past five decades, Haliburton Forest has been trans-

formed from a depleted forestry holding to a thriving, multi-use operation, contributing to the stability of the surrounding, rural community. Visit <www.haliburtonforest.com> and watch The Land Between segment on Haliburton Forest for a fascinating preview. The October 29 tour will include an overview of the operation and visit to a logging site with the owner. An appetizing buffet lunch is provided, followed by tours of the sawmill

(including bio energy biochar and solar use), the wood shop and the paddle shop. See wood products made from Haliburton Forest—from raw lumber and timbers to custom designed furniture and paddles. Learn about

their EcoLog Homes as well. Registration is required. Attendees will meet Wednesday, October 29, at 7 a.m. in Madoc for the bus trip to Haliburton Forest. The bus will leave Haliburton at 4:30 to 5 p.m. to return to

Madoc. The all-inclusive price is $90. To book your spot, call Matt Caruana of the Hastings Stewardship Council and Local Wood Initiative at 613-391-9034, or email <info@hastingsstewardship.ca>.

His enthusiasm and passion for fungi and mushrooms was obvious as he talked about the murderous oyster mushrooms that use lassos to catch their prey. “Is it a picker or a kicker,” he said laughing, as he talked about a question everyone should ask themselves when

Delectable delicacies and savoury sweets in Nice, France

By John M. Smith

Living - It seems each region of France has its own distinct cuisine, diverse and delicious. While exploring Nice, France, located on the beautiful French Riviera, where the majestic Alps visibly plunge into the deep blue Mediterranean Sea, I discovered some of this region’s rather different foods and dishes. Many of these items were available in the city’s renowned open-air markets, and some were discovered in the local restaurants and specialty shops. As I strolled through Nice’s markets, I discovered a cornucopia of fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers, including several specific items with which I was not familiar. For example, I discovered socca, a thin, unleavened pancake or crepe of chickpea flour. I was told this traditional item can be used as a poor man’s Many fresh fruits were on sale at the Nice market. stomach filler, for it’s relatively cheap, and it’s best made on a large, round copper “pie Some of the local restaurants offered their own tin” and cooked in a very hot wood-fired oven for version of the Nicoise salad, a specialty of Nice, about six minutes, until the top is golden.

It’s another and green peppers, as well as hard-boiled eggs, popular pizza-like dish, an appetizer, and its tra- tuna, anchovies, black olives and olive oil. Other ditional toppings are caramelized onions, olives, popular restaurant dishes I found in Nice included garlic, and anchovies, but there are no tomatoes or bouillabaisse, a fish stew flavoured with garlic, bacheese used in this dish. There were also beignets sil, bay leaf, saffron and a selection of vegetables, served, which are traditional French doughnuts, and estocaficada, a smoked stockfish stew served but deep-fried raisins have been added to them with potatoes, tomatoes, and herbs. here. Yet another local specialty was farcis, where In addition to all these aforementioned tasty dissuch vegetables as tomatoes, eggplant, and zucchi- coveries, I also visited a specialty shop in Nice, ni are hollowed out and stuffed with ground meat, Confiserie Florian, where fruits and flowers were garlic, and bread crumbs, then baked, and served transformed into delicious sweets.

Time for a nap

The Good Earth:

Dan Clost Living - Gentle Reader, you might have noticed over the years that I tend to shy away from using too many scientific names. If I were presenting at a collegial gathering I might slip a few of the easier ones into the chat but as a general guideline, if I can’t pronounce it I don’t write it. Who got to choose which sounds were to be used by which group of scientists? I’m still not sure how other disciplines got the good ones (think of math’s “googol,” physics’ “quark” and cosmology’s “quasar”) and horticulture pretty much got zip. I reckon by the time we simple gardening folk got to the naming room there was nothing left but a bunch of syllables that nobody else wanted. Some were difficult to spell (acaulescent), others difficult to pronounce (abscissin), and some combined those two challenges with a definition consisting of more words that defy definition in and of themselves. Acrostichoid: (describing a type of sorus) covering the entire abaxial surface

of the frond, usually densely so, as Elaphoglossum and Acrostichum.) I confess, GR, in that particular definition the only word to which I closely relate is “densely.” Possibly acrostichoid is a web-based word search game with an Android app, an acrostichum is your friend who helped you find the difficult ones and an elaphoglossum was Dr. Doolittle’s favourite pet. So, rest assured that while the textbook discussions on dormancy abound with esoteric phonetic expressions, you don’t need to get your dictionary to read this column. In botany, dormancy refers to a time during which a plant makes no active growth and other metabolic activities are slowed down significantly. We’re familiar with two periods of dormancy in our neck of the woods. Winter—think just about any plant—and late summer—think grass. Actually, for the latter, think good grass like Kentucky Blue and not crabgrass or bent which, for some reason, don’t want to take a nap. In most situations, the change in the amount of daylight is the primary trigger, along with subsequent

dropping of temperatures, for plants to begin the descent into dormancy. This happens, hopefully, before temperatures plummet to damaging or fatal levels. For a very long time the boffins reckoned that dormancy was a protective mechanism to allow a plant to survive a difficult time. And, in fact, that is its primary goal. Recently, however, experiments have shown that many plants need a resting period. In one study with Japanese maples (Acer palmatum) it was discovered that by manipulating light and temperature it was possible to maintain a full leaf canopy no matter the season. When those studies were carried on for several years, a new finding was … um … found—almost 100 per cent mortality. The plants (in this case, trees) simply wore themselves out. For those of you with the tropical hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) you didn’t need a technical treatise to tell you that. Unfortunately, your dead hibiscus falls under the heading “anecdotal evidence” and is given short shrift. Bottom line: plants need a vacation too. Interestingly, entering dor-

mancy is not the challenge; rather, it is the breaking of dormancy that can be problematic. For example, peaches are known to “wake up” early and can be considered the cat-nappers of the orchard. Once they have been dormant for 40 days or so they switch from “rest” to “quiescence.” Whilst at rest, nothing much is going to happen. In the quiescent stage, the tree is ready to wake up as soon as the temperatures begin to warm up. In Southern Carolina this is not a problem; in our part of Ontario (Bay of Quinte region) a late February or even early March thaw can have serious consequences in terms of fruit production. If the buds break and a frost comes along we can expect a sparse crop. It would be rare that the tree would die, but since the purpose of having a peach tree is to have peaches, we will be disappointed. We take advantage of winter dormancy to carry out major pruning. During this season the form of the tree is quite clear: you can very quickly see which material to prune out and easily get at it. It is better to prune later in the season (just before bud break) so that the wounds have less exposure to outside elements. Once dormancy is broken, the plant will get busy healing over the cuts and the trauma is minimal. Did you know that dormancy is also found in the animal kingdom? Think of chipmunks, bears and a certain Toronto NHL team.

Idle land? Plant trees!

Living - Looking to plant trees on your land? Generous subsidies are available from Trees Ontario. And we supply the planting crew. Planting trees on your property can help fight climate change, increase wildlife habitat and improve water conservation. Trees Ontario is working with many tree planting partners across the province to deliver the Ontario government’s 50 Million Tree Program. Supporting landowners is our goal. Trees increase property values and improve the health of your land in so many ways. The 50 Million Tree Program makes planting very affordable. In most cases, about 75 per cent of the costs will be borne by the program. Landowners with a productive area of one hectare or larger may be eligible. Planting trees can support farmers by strengthening landscape resilience. Trees can shelter livestock and help control stock movement; provide shelter for crops and assist with soil management; reduce flood risk; and boost pollinators. A Trees Ontario rep will work with you to find the best solution for your property. Planting windbreaks, pond edges or marginal land can improve your operation. Simple hedgerows are a benefit to both crops and wildlife. Contact Trees Ontario for a thoughtfully designed planting scheme tailored for your land, plus advice on tree maintenance and management. Ontario is committed to plant 50 million trees by 2025. Find out more about the program at <www.treesontario.ca>. Talk to local agent Tim Gray at 613-477-2981 or at <tgray@forestsontario.ca> for a planting consult.

Agribition welcomes 400+ to Farmtown Park By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - More than 400 students descended on Farmtown Park last week as the annual Agribition continued to provide a better understanding of agricultural life for area Grade 4 students. Organizer Linda Huizenga says the community support for Agribition has been excellent over the years, allowing the program to offer a remarkable experience where the experts are all local agriculturalists who often bring live animals along to help explain the jobs on a farm. Described as a way to bring agriculture to the kids, the program continues to grow, she says, with an additional three schools added this year from Madoc, Trenton and Tyendinega and an extra half day required to accommodate all the visitors. And the traffic throughout Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday was heavy Farmtown Park President Harry Danford (second from left) accepts a donation from Farm Credit Canada representatives (from as students arrived by the busload to left) Jennifer Dorland, Courtney Ramsay and Larry Carlow, after presenting them with Agribition’s 299-pound donation for the spend a day studying both present and local food bank. past farming practices.

Volunteers were also pleased with the response both to Agribition itself and the individual presentations provided by area beekeepers, chicken farmers and the raisers of other livestock who took the time out of their schedules to contribute to a hands-on learning experience. Also on hand for much of the event was Hastings County Queen of the Furrow Jessica Sills, who says her year as agricultural ambassador is off to a great start. And at the end of the three-day event, organizers had collected 299 pounds of non-perishable food items from

Rick Mercer rocks the Norwood Fair By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - If Rick Mercer needs a part-time job next summer he’s got an outstanding offer from Grandpa Ellis’s Taffy. The Canadian comedy star and host of CBC’s popular Rick Mercer Report spent a full day at the 146th Norwood Fair delighting many of the more than 19,000 people who streamed through the gates Saturday, hamming it up with the famous taffy makers, running with Hot Diggity Dogs Flyball team and racing with Grass Hogs Lawn Mower drivers. “It was an absolutely astounding moment for the Norwood Fair,” Agricultural Society president Jeff Dornan said of Mercer’s spur of the moment decision to drive up to Norwood with his film crew after giving the fair a shout-out on a recent show. Dornan says that after Mercer mentioned the fair the CBC switchboard “just lit up” and Twitter and Facebook followers urged the comedian to join the fun; he did, and added huge Canadian TV star Rick Mercer spent nearly a full day at the 146th Norwood amounts of his own humour to Fair taking in the sights joining in plenty of activities including a run with the occasion. Trenton’s Hot Diggity Dogs Flyball team. Photo: Bill Freeman “It was totally organized in

two days,” says Dornan. Mercer, famous for his Talking to Americans segment on This Hour Has 22 Minutes, the hit show Made in Canada and his support of high profile causes like Spread the Net, It Gets Better and Walk For life, was in his element. “We’re here for the day and we’re going to roll all day,” Mercer said. “That’s the way we do it, we talk to lots of people and really you can’t go wrong on a day like today because I know there are going to be interesting people doing interesting things and that makes for good TV.” “I’ll never forget it; it’s all over everywhere,” Ag. Society secretary-treasurer Paul Quinlan said. “You can’t buy this kind of publicity. Those shows are re-run all the time.” The crew has given the Fair Board permission to use photos and film to help market the fair in the future, Dornan said. “He’s very personable. If somebody ran up for a photo he stopped. He’s very genuine. He really does enjoy what he’s doing and he’s a true patriot because everything for him is Canada, which is a good thing.”

Canadian TV star Rick Mercer chats with Trenton residents Dianne and Don Wilson of Grandpa Ellis Taffy during his day-long visit to the Norwood Fair. Photo: Bill Freeman

While he was at the fair Mercer also bought midway tickets for kids and joined them on rides, bought back bacon on a bun for himself and a another group of youngsters and soaked in the fair’s ambience. “It was exciting,” said Dianne Wilson of Trenton, whose grandfather Fred (Gillie) started selling taffy at the Norwood Fair in 1897, a tradition the family’s carried on ever since. “I thought I was going to be so uptight but he made you feel really calm.” “Rick was quite the character, which was awesome. He was down-to-earth,” her husband Don added. “He is a genuinely funny guy.” Don says the Agricultural Society told

them on Friday Mercer would be at the fair and was interested in pulling some taffy. Then they got a call from his agent. “It was thrilling to get that call. We just couldn’t believe it,” Don said. Mercer pulled, cooled and cut the taffy. “We told him we were going to hire him next year because he did such a good job,” said Don. “It was good for the fair. I’m sure a lot of people came to meet him too,” said Dianne. “I love this fair. We meet a lot of fabulous people here.” The segment should run on Mercer’s show sometime in the next two or three weeks.

Chamber concerned over provincial government’s proposed new pension plan By Sue Dickens

new mandatory pension plan and how it will increase their cost of doing business,” said Jeff Hamilton, Trent Hills Chamber president, who noted the provincial government plans to move ahead to implement its “new pension scheme.” Under the new plan, The Ontario Retirement Pension Plan (ORPP), which aims to supplement the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), will require employers to match employee pension contributions, inR0012919282

News - Trent Hills - The provincial government’s proposed new pension plan will increase the cost of doing business and adversely impact job creation according to the local Chamber of Commerce. Deciding to express their concern the chamber has joined a coalition of more than 50 chambers and boards of trade across Ontario. “Our members have expressed concern about the

creasing their cost of doing business. For example, in the case of a business that employs ten people with an average salary of $45,000, the employer will be obligated to pay almost $8,000 per year in additional pension contributions. “Businesses are already finding it challenging to meet additional costs that are beyond their control, including the recent increase in electricity, a higher minimum wage, and high WSIB rates,” Hamilton said. According to a recent Ontario Chamber of Commerce survey, 72 per cent of businesses in the province believe pension reform should be a priority Trent Hills and District Chamber of Commerce President Jeff Hamilton said for government.

broader economic picture, in which the economy is projected to grow slowly for the foreseeable future. “Local businesses, for their part, worry about the cumulative impact that government regulatory and legislative changes will have on their competitiveness,” said Hamilton. He pointed out that the proposed pension plan comes at a challenging time for the province when Ontario’s unemployment rate remains above the national average and has showed little improvement over the past year. In its letter to the province, the Chamber calls on the Government of Ontario to provide employers with answers to a number of crucial, but unanswered questions: “What will be the impact of a fully implemented ORPP?

happens when a business can’t afford to meet the requirements of the ORPP? What about the self-employed?” asked Hamilton. “These are questions that must be answered before moving forward with this pension plan.” Allan O’Dette, president and CEO of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce stated, “The retirement income challenge is a real one, but we need to ensure that any changes to the pension system are made with a full understanding of their impact on Ontario’s business climate.” To learn more read the chamber’s letter to the Government of Ontario at: <http://www.occ.ca/ policy/chamber-networkconcerned-about-proposed-ontario-pensionplan/>.
