County ‘stomping on democracy’ keeping amalgamation on table: warden

By John Campbell

News - Northumberland – Five municipalities have gone on record opposing any discussions of changes in municipal governance in order to save money but Northumberland County refused to take the long-term option off the table last week.

Instead of endorsing the resolutions passed by Brighton, Trent Hills and the townships of Cramahe, Hamilton and Alnwick-Haldimand, county council voted Nov. 20 to simply refer their demands to the CAOs committee for “consideration” in putting together an information report on ways to share services and cut costs.

Warden Hector Macmillan, mayor of Trent Hills, was livid his colleagues would “pay no attention” to what the majority of the county’s seven municipalities wanted Please see “New” on page 2 done and “bulldoze on through anyway ... If

we’re going to continue with this it flies right in the face of our democracy.”

The CAO’s committee was asked last month by the county to prepare an informational report by next March on what can be done “to achieve more cost effective municipal government” across Northumberland.

One of the options identified for discussion was amalgamation (single tier government, East and West Northumberland, or clusters of municipalities).

Attending council as a delegation, Brighton Councillor Craig Kerr said there is “widespread support” among municipal governments to deliver services together at less cost but not for amalgamation.

It “will do nothing in the short term for cost containment,” and, in fact, “has the potential to increase costs significantly,” he said.

Kerr pointed out the CAOs are already

busy helping to put together a county official plan, working on next year’s budget, and preparing for the 2014 municipal elections – projects “over and above their already significant workloads” – so to ask them to take on drafting a report “of such magnitude and complexity ... is unreasonable.”

Kerr noted county engaged a consulting firm and a senior public servant to help work on the official plan, which is “far less complex and contentious than any discussions of governance.

“Yet council did not see fit to assign the same type of resources” to a matter that “represents one of the most significant adventures” Northumberland and its municipalities could undertake since the last round of amalgamations that took place in 2000-2001.

erty to the PVNCC paved the way for the expansion.

Peterborough MPP and Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal also attended; it was provincial government funding that allowed the board to proceed with the much-needed expansion of the growing school.

St. Paul principal Andy Sawada was the gracious emcee and touchingly praised the school’s youngest students for their impeccable behaviour during the two hour ceremony.

“I feel personally honoured to be part of it. It’s been a long time coming,” said Sawada. “We celebrate what has become our pride and joy.”

Sawada offered his “profound thanks” to everyone involved in the project, including PVNCC officials, the provincial government, +VG Architects and Peak Engineering and Construction Limited. He praised the support the project, disruptions and all, received from students, staff and parents.

He called the people who followed the project through “visionaries.”

“Schools are extremely important to this community and its families and children of this area,” added Mayor Pearcy. He thanked the school board for “showing confidence” in Asphodel-Norwood by making such a “large investment.

“This is a great place for schools and I look forward to the next expansion as our community continues to grow.”

“It’s a beautiful building and has

The Salvation Army’s kettle campaign rings in the season with its launch during the Campbellford Santa Claus parade

By Sue Dickens

News – Campbellford - Ringing in the holiday season, the Salvation Army is launching its annual kettle campaign.

Even before the official campaign started folks were putting their donations into a kettle at No Frills last week at a photo shoot to announce the event.

Diana Ballard, age 81, who has stood outside in all kinds of wintery weather with a kettle ringing the bell, will again be at the Bank of Montreal (BMO) in Campbellford.

“Diana logged the most volunteer hours last year. She stood at a kettle for 28 hours total at BMO,” said Lori Godden, kettle campaign coordinator for the second year.

“I think the Salvation Army is very important because it’s the one organization that doesn’t spend half your donation on advertising and it meets the needs of everyone. Especially because, and we don’t want to admit it, we have a lot of people in Campbellford who need help,” said Ballard.

“The Salvation Army is there, they don’t ask questions, there’s no pressure, if you need something they’ll try and provide it for you or direct you to somebody who can,” Ballard told the Trent Hills Independent,while turning to

greet a passerby who had stopped to drop some change into a kettle.

“Christmas is the big fundraiser and the money has to do all year. And people are in need all year,” Ballard added.

For Godden the challenge is to get enough volunteers to look after the kettles.

“We are in strong need for people to step up and volunteer for a two-hour shift,” she noted.

“In some locations they can be indoors,” she explained.

“We will have six kettles set up, at the Bank of Montreal, No Frills, Sharpe’s Food Market, Giant Tiger, Canadian Tire and one at Empire Cheese for a one-day special event to catch some bus tours on the last Saturday before Christmas,” said Godden.

Each year members of the Rotary Club of Campbellford and the Campbellford Lions Club pick a date to volunteer so all the kettles have someone accepting donations for the entire day.

“We had about 50 volunteers last year including the service clubs but we need more,” Godden said.

“High school kids can earn their community hours standing at a kettle. I signed a lot of sheets last year for the high school kids to do this.”

Godden hopes this year will find students wanting to help.

“The purpose of having someone stand beside the kettle is to say thank you and offer up a smile as donations come in,” she commented.

Last year the campaign raised almost $21,000.

“Every donation, no matter how big or small makes a difference in the lives of those in need.

Because some people might only be able to put in just a quarter, if you just dump in small change it all helps,” said Godden.

“Just empty out your pockets of your change . . . instead of having that second cup of coffee put the dollar or more into the kettle,” said Ballard enthusiastically.

All of the money collected in Trent Hills stays in Trent Hills.

“This money is used for family services, food, the Christmas hampers, toys, and disaster relief,” explained Godden.

The campaign kicks off with volunteers walking the parade route during the Campbellford Santa Claus Parade which takes place Saturday, November 30th at 3 p.m.

Anyone interested in volunteering can call Godden at 705-653-5984.

This spry volunteer Diana Ballard, 81, left, who logged the most hours at a kettle last year, (28 all together) will again be standing at the Bank of Montreal in Campbellford with a kettle to accept donations for this year’s Salvation Army campaign which officially begins during the Santa Claus Parade on Saturday, November 30, at 3 p.m. Lori Godden, right, is the kettle campaign coordinator for another year.

News - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – The public will get ample opportunity to comment on Havelock-Belmont-Methuen’s draft 2014 budget, which proposes a 1.27 per cent tax hike.

Council has set aside time on December 2, 9 and 16 for public delegations with an eye to approving the draft December 16.

Treasurer Valerie Nesbitt outlined the draft for councillors and the public at their November 18 regular meeting, the culmination of a process that began in April with initial departmental meetings and carried through the summer and early fall when budgetary items underwent administrative review.

The budget development process implemented by Chief Administrative Officer Linda Reed is one that “works wonderfully for staff,” Nesbitt says. “It

gives us ample opportunity to look at it departmentally, then it comes back to administration for review.”

The seven-month-long task, beginning in late spring, provides “time for the full analysis that is required,” she says. The entire process “lessens the burden at year end when things are getting tight.”

The $6,936,650 draft budget proposes a $4,841,799 municipal levy requirement, an increase of $173,718 over 2013. That translates into a municipal levy of 3.72 per cent, but a two per cent estimated increase in residential assessment and assessment growth of 0.56 per cent produces a tax rate increase of 1.27 per cent.

The draft proposal, Nesbitt stressed, includes some key assumptions, namely policing costs and assessment data.

Nesbitt is estimating a two per cent increase in residential assessment.

On policing, which has a “significant impact on the taxation,” Nesbitt says once the “estimates are finalized, the budget will be updated and revised information will be provided December 16.”

“Transition day” helps ease grade eight anxieties about high school

There are no proposed changes to water and sewer rates.

“We have seen some efficiencies within the water department,” Nesbitt added.

“It’s always a challenge,” Mayor Ron Gerow said of

the budget. “(The township) spends a good portion of the year working on it which is indicative of the challenges municipalities are trying to deal with every day. This is a really good stab here at trying to come up with a plan council can work with.”

The municipality is watching the province’s Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF) grant allocation carefully which is being phased out for policing.

“That component is being monitored and will be reported at a future meeting,” she said.

Policing costs remain a thorny issue across the province and municipalities have lobbied hard to have the province find some way to offer cost relief, especially to municipalities like HBM. “We don’t know where it is it’s going to go,” says Nesbitt. “We don’t know if the province is going to have another look at policing province-wide.

At this point we simply don’t know. It’s certainly one of the highest percentages this municipality faces.”

The budget projects a total policing cost of $901,432 in 2014.

“These are our best guess(es) at a frozen point in time,” Nesbitt said of the overall draft budget.

“The offsetting revenue for us is the municipal tax levy which we strive diligently to mitigate tax increases by looking at a combination of different

there for high school it’s a very nerve-racking process.”

Leeming says grade eights do harbour anxieties about “the bigger building, more people, will they fit in, and are they up to snuff academically?”

But, she stresses, they will reap the benefits of a smaller school.

“But these kids still see it as high school; it’s different; it’s not the same place they’ve seen for the past ten years, it’s not the same faces. They also realize they have a shorter period of time to prove themselves.”

But most of her students are ready for high school by the time grade eight graduation arrives.

“They realize they’ve put in their ten years and they’re ready for a new step, new adventure (and) definitely new challenges.”

“These days are great,” says NDPS grade eight teacher Chris Simpson.

“Even learning your way around the big building makes a difference coming into grade nine,” he said. “You want to think that they’re not nervous but when you talk to them there are a good handful who are very nervous and anxious about coming to high school.”

“Getting to know people here is easier than in the larger schools,” he says.

Simpson says bringing the elementary schools together is an excellent idea.

“That’s a big part of grade nine, bringing all these feeder schools together. They’re going to be with different kids and that’s the exciting part for grade eight into nine, you get to be with kids from other schools and meet new friends; their world seems quite a bit larger which is exciting for some and anxious and nervous for others.”

News - Norwood – It was the “first step” towards making the jump to high school and Norwood District High’s annual “Transition Day” is designed to quell some of the jitters current grade eight students have about secondary school.

“It’s a huge change from one school to another,” NDHS guidance head Todd Murray said. “We want to make sure we eliminate some of the stress and anxiety.”

Students from Havelock Belmont Public School, Norwood District Public School and Hastings Public School travelled to NDHS for a day that included several activities that were organized and run by Grade 11 Biology students: the activity stations included everything from how to open to the high school’s extracurricular offerings and its four high skills major courses.

Over the course of the school year there will be additional grade eight days for each of the feeder schools that will give students a chance to check out actual classes, programs and courses.

“It’s a big process so we see them a lot,” said Murray. “So that when they come here for the first day they feel relaxed and ready to go.”

“It gives them a real sense about how to get around the school, a real sense of who their peers are going to be when they come here and an opportunity to glimpse some of the opportunities offered at NDHS,” says Havelock Belmont grade eight teacher Brenda Leeming.

The transition day also gave her students a chance to “interact with some of the staff and students to realize this is not an intimidating place.”

But she notes that “with so many options out

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

More Campbellford bridge options should be explored Dear Editor, I would like to comment on two issues in the preferred bridge option for Campbellford article last week, as it was a little confusing.

The current bridge will remain open while the twin bridge is built, and the twin will remain open when the current bridge is rebuilt.

The two bridges will be separate, although beside each other, so one could always continue to function. This provides the same traffic solution as having Second/ Alma in place when the current bridge is replaced. But even more, it ensures that there will always be a Bridge Street bridge.

The current bridge could be made more efficient now by having no left turns during rush hour in the morning and afternoon. In the current study, the rush hour numbers are being used to determine traffic flow for the whole day. Odd, isn’t it? If traffic is less in 40 years, or even the same as now, is it likely government would want to rebuild the Bridge Street bridge if a Second/ Alma is in place? One consulting firm said that our bridge, if twinned, could last another 35 years.

Traffic studies show that the annual average daily vehicle count is the same or less in 2013 as it was in 1988. What has changed are the two short peaks when the most people are on the bridge. It’s called rush hour in other places, but here it’s really only “rush minutes” most days. Is it worth $15 million to solve a 15-

minute problem? The current consultants have said that “either solution will work quite well in eliminating congestion.”

If we are seeking redundancy for emergency fire calls, why not build a sub-station on the west side of the bridge with two first-response vehicles? Perhaps it could be built with money saved by not having to upgrade Alma and Simpson Streets. If volunteer firefighters can’t cross the bridge to the east side quickly now, why don’t they have sirens so that drivers know that they are trying to pass? Recently, I didn’t see a green flashing light when I was crossing the bridge in little traffic at 7:30 a.m., because the cars in front of it blocked my view of the flashing light. When a siren is heard, vehicles move over to the sides immediately. I suggest that such a siren be provided to volunteers immediately to assist them with their important task in protecting our community.

A twinned Bridge Street bridge will provide the “redundancy” of a second bridge at less cost to taxpayers and without destroying our quiet heritage neighbourhoods by turning them into busy arterial roads.

Finally, if we had a second bridge at Second/ Alma, and an emergency vehicle needs to go south on Grand Road and gets caught in traffic congestion at Canadian Tire or Tim Hortons, is that the bridge redundancy that we need?

News - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – Havelock-BelmontMethuen mayor Ron Gerow continues to push strongly for a long term care facility in the township and used a major health care announcement last week to underscore that point.

Havelock-Belmont-Methuen played gracious hosts for a $28 million provincial funding announcement to the Central East LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) that includes nearly $3.5 million for its northeast cluster that will benefit seniors directly in Havelock, Norwood, Trent Hills and other parts of Northumberland and Peterborough County.

“Council continues to appeal to the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care to help us meet the needs of our most vulnerable seniors by approving the township for long term care,” Mayor Gerow said during the event in the HBM council chamber.

“We realize the Central East LHIN is trying to meet our senior’s needs while still able to remain in their homes; we support and appreciate all of those efforts very much but we ask that the higher priority be that long term care beds be recognized by the minister and the ministry,” Gerow said.

The mayor “openly and publicly” thanked Peterborough MPP and Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal for the work he has done with council and the municipality on the long term care issue.

The township has had a plan on the books that would facilitate the building of a 128-bed nursing home on an 18 acre property off Old Norwood Road which already been zoned for a seniors-related development that could also include a medical centre, assisted living units and gearedto-income senior’s apartments. A daycare centre and other “integrated community opportunities” are being considered as part of the proposal.

The municipality has been working closely with AON Incorporated on plans for the estimated $13-14 million 128

bed two storey facility which AON would build and operate. Council wants the province to allocate new long-term care beds or re-direct those that were not picked up in a 1999 call so that the HBM project can start.

It’s a message they’ve steadily and consistently delivered to the provincial government for over two years. The lack of positive news has been frustrating but optimism has not been drained away.

Wallet lifted from unlocked vehicle in Hastings News - Hastings - A wallet was stolen from an unlocked vehicle November 18.

Northumberland OPP said the wallet was found a short distance away but the female owner’s credit card was missing.

The thief used the credit card twice before the victim noticed it and her wallet were missing, which she reported to police November 22.

“The estimated amount of funds used is

Iran and the US: Neither blind nor stupid This traveller is confused

Editorial - “We are not blind, and I don’t think we are stupid,” said US Secretary of State John Kerry in response to fierce Israeli criticism after the first round of talks about Iran’s nuclear program earlier this month failed to reach a deal.

Now the deal is done, and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is even harsher in his condemnation of Kerry’s handiwork.

“Israel has many friends and allies,” said Gwynne Dyer Netanyahu, “but when they’re mistaken, it’s my duty to speak out. What was achieved last night in Geneva (November 24) is not a historic agreement, it was a historic mistake. Today the world has become a much more dangerous place because the most dangerous regime in the world took a significant step towards obtaining the world’s most dangerous weapon.”

What he meant was that the interim agreement implicitly recognises Iran’s right to enrich uranium for peaceful uses. But that right is already enshrined in the Non-Proliferation Treaty, which Iran has signed, and nobody ever thought that Iran was really going to renounce it. What was at issue was whether it would enrich its uranium to “weapons grade”, 90 percent pure and make nuclear bombs.

The “Plan of Action” signed by Iran, the United States, Russia, Britain, France, Germany and the European Union ensures that it will not, at least for the next six months. All uranium enrichment above five percent is to be halted, and Iran’s entire stockpile of 20 percent enriched material, the potential feedstock for a “dash” to weapons-grade material, is to be diluted or converted to a form not suitable for further enrichment.

Iran is not to install any more centrifuges (the machines used to enrich material), and large numbers of the existing banks of centrifuges are to be left inoperable. Even Iran’s stockpile of 3.5% enriched uranium (for use in nuclear power reactors) is to remain the same between now and the end of the six-month period. And there will be no further work done on the Arak reactor, which might give Iran plutonium, and thus a second route to a nuclear bomb.

Iran will also allow more intrusive inspections by International Atomic Energy Agency officials, including daily access to the key enrichment sites at Natanz and Fordow. All it gets in return is $7 billion worth of relief (about $100 per Iranian) on the sanctions that are crippling its economy. All the main sanctions will stay in place until a final agreement has been signed

– if it is – six months from now.

Iran can therefore make no further progress towards nuclear weapons while the detailed negotiations continue, if that is actually what Tehran ever had in mind. Yet Israeli officials are talking as if the United States has been both blind and stupid.

On Sunday, Israeli Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz said that, “Israel cannot participate in the international celebration, which is based on Iranian deception and the world’s self-delusion.” And Naftali Bennett, Israel’s minister of trade and industry, warned: “If in five years a nuclear suitcase explodes in New York or Madrid, it will be because of the agreement that was signed this morning.”

This is so far over the top that you wonder whether the speakers even believe it themselves. Israel has talked itself into this obsession with Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons project – Israeli sources have been warning that Iran is two years away from a bomb at regular intervals for the past twenty years but the constant talk about it has also served to draw attention away from Israel’s settlement policy in the Palestinian territories.

Israel’s basic position is that the Iranian regime is entirely composed of evil terrorist fanatics who should never be allowed to have refined uranium of any sort. The only recourse is therefore to tighten the sanctions more and more until Iran’s entire economy and government crumble and a completely different sort of people emerge from somewhere to take over the country. No deal can be a good deal.

Israel’s leaders are dismayed that they can no longer keep their allies and friends pinned in this extreme position, but endlessly quoting the ravings of former Iranian Prime Minister Mahmoud Ahmedinejad is not enough. They would have to demonstrate that Iran actually intends to attack Israel, and they cannot. So eventually their allies just moved without them.

As Israel’s Finance Minister Yair Lapid told “Time” magazine, “We’ve lost the world’s ear. We have six months, at the end of which we need to be in a situation in which the Americans listen to us the way they used to listen to us in the past.”

But the game is not over yet. Israel’s influence in the US Congress is still immense, and its Congressional allies are already talking about heaping more sanctions on Iran (in order to kill the deal, though they don’t admit that).

President Obama could veto those new sanctions, of course, but he will find it a lot harder to get Congress to revoke the existing sanctions if the final deal is done six months from now.

That’s why Iran gets so little relief from sanctions now in return for its concessions: Obama needs more time to work on Congress. But Israel may still win this tug-of-war.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Finding reality at public meetings Dear Editor, On the rare occasions the prime minister holds a press conference packed with supporters, those likely to ask questions that may embarrass the government are often branded eco-terrorists, socio-terrorists and are barred at the door by security. In like manner the pipeline companies hold their “public consultation meetings” with little room for those opposed. So where to go for a dose of reality? How about Texas farmers?

Certainly not on the list of enemies of the state, these landowners, after witnessing dented pipes, damaged coatings etc., raised sufficient ruckus to force the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to issue warning letters to TransCanada of careless installation, not following specifications regarding protecting existing coatings, consistently bad welds resulting in weld failures.

In one bad week alone 72% of welds required repairs, the average was about 48%, possibly due to the use of unqualified welders.

It is important to note that the regulator was apparently unaware of any of this until the landowners who will bear the brunt of damage when the line leaks, lobbied them to get involved. This self-regulation is increasingly common, as more and more power is transferred to corporations where maximum profit replaces the public good.

How does the above have anything to do with Ontario?

This first phase of the XL pipeline built by TransCanada in 2010 is “state of the art” and should be expected to set the standard for eastern pipeline #9 across Ontario. In a hilarious statement, the company predicted one leak in seven years with a total loss of 50 barrels. The reality was 12 leaks in the first year with one in North Dakota alone amounting to 21,000 gallons. This then is what we can expect across the lakes and streams of Ontario.

The above information came from a BC news site “The Tyee”. We should be very concerned about our water.

By Terry Bush Editorial - My wife Mare and I have always had a certain fondness for geography both in school and in our adult lives. That love of geography has transformed itself into a love of travel now that we have the means to do so. While we might not be as worldly as some, we have backpacked through close to 25 countries on six continents as well as every Canadian province except Newfoundland and a number of US states.

From our travels we’ve become quite knowledgeable about many parts of the world but it seems we’re not too smart when it comes to cities in our own province.

When I turned on the TV on Saturday night and saw nothing but those same old tired programs that seem to have a shelf life longer than a Twinkie, I thought to myself, maybe I’ll watch a Leafs game for an hour until something better comes along.

Unfortunately when Ron and Don appeared on my screen, it soon became obvious that there would be no Leafs on my TV unless I rolled back time and watched non-HD television. That wasn’t going to happen because as I’ve said before, we moved out of the dark ages a couple of years ago and bought a new TV and digital receiver. It was now HD or nothing. To do otherwise would be like trying to enjoy the Mona Lisa on newsprint.

Try as I might, I couldn’t find the CBC HD Toronto channel I used to have before I gave Bell even more money for new programming. Evidently once you make the leap you can never go back to the way things were.

I did have CBC Ottawa in HD but that was only after a very lengthy chat session with a Bell rep who restored at least one CBC HD channel to my programming package.

After all, it says you get CBC HD with the most basic package on Bell’s website.

So, with the Ottawa game underway in the living room, I headed to the bedroom and called Bell to see what was going on. Of course it took quite a while to actually get to speak to a representative. So long in fact that I thought maybe my call had been inadvertently routed to someone on the other side of the world. When someone finally did turn up on the other end, she was anxious to help solve my problem. After a half hour standing in front of the television adjusting this and that and rebooting the system, she told me I could fix this problem by paying an extra $5 for time shifting.

Time shifting! Why on earth would I need time shifting to get the CBC channel in Toronto, I asked.

You just do, she answered. Maybe it was because I was standing in front of the wood stove at the time, but I found myself getting a little hot under the collar. Why would I need time shifting when I’m in the same time zone as Toronto and live just a couple of hours away.

You can get it for only five dollars, she replied. I have a lingering suspicion that the woman I was speaking with didn’t have any real knowledge of the geography in our home province. My parting words were; in the hour I’ve wasted talking to you, I could have driven half way to Toronto.

Considering my “better” package, that cost around 70 bucks per month when I subscribed to it, now costs me closer to $120 with add-ons, I wasn’t about to part with any more money. I’d already missed the first period anyway so we watched something else.

Anyone who knows me, knows I’m a bit of a persistent bugger, so I thought I’d give it one more shot on Sunday.

This time round I went the live chat route hoping it wouldn’t take me a full hour to achieve absolutely nothing. It didn’t. It only took me 20 minutes to get basically to the same answer as the night before.

You need to subscribe to the US time shift package to get CBC Toronto in HD she typed. This is when I really started to get mixed up on my geography.

When we were kids, we visited Toronto once a month to see my grandmother. We always went to the CNE each year. We didn’t really give it much thought at the time but apparently we’d crossed a border somewhere on the 401 because according to Bell, Toronto is in the USA. Why else would it be included in a US time shifting package?

I told the Bell representative I was chatting with that we were in the same time zone so what would be the point in time shifting 7 p.m. in Toronto to 7 p.m. in Madoc.

I understand what you’re saying she said but we’ve changed our packages and that’s the way it is now.

Baffling to say the least unless you’re cynical enough to think that this is just one more way Bell is trying to nickel and dime its customers.

I can watch television from Los Angeles just by turning on the TV and if I change the channel I can watch PBS in Boston but I can’t watch CBC Toronto without paying an extra five bucks? This is just as bad as having to pick five or six bundles of channels to get the six channels you want.

In October, the Harper government announced plans to force TV providers to allow consumers to “pick and choose” individual channels instead of being forced to buy bundles of channels they didn’t want. If that ever happens I’ll be the first to congratulate the Tories. I won’t hold my breath though. The last time I gave accolades to Stephen Harper was when he was in the Arctic promising a deep-water port and new ships to exert our sovereignty over that region. Turned out to be nothing but a photo op.

Sounds like I’m either going to have to fork out five bucks or become a Sens fan. And I don’t like the Sens.

Percy Centennial, led by Grade 7/8 teacher Julianna Anderson, has enthusiastically taken up the cause of supporting change for the better, at home and abroad.

It raised $8,500 for an extension to be added to a school in Sierra Leone, Africa, another $5,000 for a well in Haiti and an additional $700 to help with relief efforts following the massive earthquake in that country.

The school also helps keep the 7 Hills Community Pantry food bank stocked.

Their current mission is to raise $10,000 to build another school in a foreign land, the location still to be determined.

News - Trent Hills – With more legislative changes looming that could add to the cost of municipalities providing safe drinking water for its citizens, “it’s time to fight back,” says Mayor Hector Macmillan.

“I’m tired of the legislation coming down from Toronto time and time again without the appropriate funding to support these fabulous ideas,” he told council recently. “They’re not necessarily bad ideas but municipalities have run out of resources to fund them and ... our ratepayers are sick and tired of paying for all of it, and it’s got to stop. Times are tougher out there than what people think.”

The mayor delivered his rant after Councillor Kim McNeil proposed a committee be struck to develop recommendations for new water and sewer rates that reflect upcoming legislation and “emerging trends” such as greater water conservation.

It’s “certainly socially responsible but it reduces our income which makes it harder to finance our water systems,” MacNeil said.

She suggested the committee “come up with a very clear picture of where exactly our costs are” and what has been looked at to reduce them, “to let people know what to expect going forward.”

But Macmillan said Trent Hills did “all of this stuff” before council’s current term when the municipality adopted a five-year plan to phase in blended rates across all three urban centres to raise enough

revenue to cover the operational and capital costs of water and sewer operations.

“We were quite confident that we had exhausted all of our costsaving opportunities,” he said.

He’s not interested in having to explain once again to people “why our rates are so high” because council made “some tough decisions (that) were hard to swallow” for ratepayers but necessary, which other municipalities are now having to make.

Macmillan said Trent Hills has “lived up to everything that has been asked” of it by the province and now it’s time “to push back on Queen’s Park ... because they’re not living in reality.”

He supported creating a working group if its intent is to produce a report that shows the provincial government “we have reached capacity with our water and sewer rates.

“I’ve had enough, we’ve had enough,” he said, and proceeded to blast the federal government for “for walk(ing) from the TrentSevern Waterway” and giving millions of dollars in aid to foreign countries, and the provincial government for passing regulations to protect “trees and birds and bugs and all the rest of it” to the detriment of the agricultural sector.

“I absolutely believe in protecting the environment but, dammit, there’s a limit and we reached it a long time ago,” he said.

With all the costs that have been imposed on them by governments, “people are tapped out, they’ve had it and I’m there, too.”

McNeil said “rates are going to have to go up,” the question is by how much and how quickly.

The working group would compile data to take to Queen’s Park “to see if we can get some relief” in rates charged to consumers for water and sewer services.

Deputy-mayor Bob Crate said municipalities have “got to stop” Queen’s Park from downloading more costs onto them.

“We’re probably the most efficient form of government they’ve got going and all they do is abuse us,” he said. “They make the rules and we don’t have any chance to say that’s not fair.”

CAO Mike Rutter said council has “taken tougher stands than most municipalities” in setting rates and making capital improvements, “and we find ourselves in better condition than many because of those choices.”

But “we are about to embark on a brave new world,” he said. “I really do see us at a crossroads.”

He spoke in favour of a working group being formed to prepare an argument for help that could be taken to Queen’s Park because “the best thing to do is if you’re going to have a fight is to be wellinformed.”

The working group, consisting of Macmillan, McNeil, and Councillors Meirion Jones and Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan, will hold a brainstorming session initially to determine how to proceed before starting in earnest on its work in the new year with the help of staff.

Mattress recycling will be future topic

By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock-BelmontMethuen – Township council will get a chance to weigh in on a proposed mattress recycling program the Peterborough CountyCity Waste Management Committee (WMSC) has endorsed in principle.

The WMSC made its decision after reviewing results from a successful six-week pilot project conducted by the City of Peterborough’s Utility Services Department which collected 1,249 mattresses and box springs.

Projected over a year, the city and county could collect and recycle over 10,000 mattresses and box springs saving at least 3,000 cubic meters of landfill space or 1.70 years of life at Bensfort, Walter Jackson, director of utility services for the city, says in his report.

“Mattresses are becoming a huge problem eating up a lot of space at the landfill,” HBM mayor Ron Gerow agreed. Gerow is a member of the WMSC which, he says, had “quite a discussion” on the pilot.

With the drain on landfill space posed by mattresses and box springs, and a growing market for the materials they are made from, Gerow said the city “decided to take a look a look at

what other options there were out there to try to get mattresses out of the landfill.”

The project “was quite successful” with a “significant” amount of mattresses being diverted.

The pilot project ran from September 17 to October 31 with 57.5 per cent of mattresses recycled coming from commercial sources; 20 per cent from large retailers like Leons and Heritage Furniture; 5.5 per cent from residents via county transfer stations and 36 per cent were brought directly to Bensfort by residential users.

Most commercial materials came in small loads of one to five mattresses.

“There would be a significant value in implementing a fullscale program,” Jackson said.

The WMSC has suggested a $10 per mattress charge to help offset some of the program costs; the gross cost would be approximately $180,000 but with a per unit fee of $10 that cost figure would drop to $73,000.

“Further offsetting the recycling costs are the significant savings in space that would be realized (at the landfill),” Jackson added.

Each mattress or box spring

averages three-quarter cubic meters in size and would ultimately compact to 40 per cent of their size if it were landfilled depending on their height, weight and material.

Its landfill volume would be one-third of a cubic meter, the report says. One cubic meter of landfill space has an estimated value of $33.48.

“While the net cost to recycle each mattress is $6.70, it costs, at a minimum, $10 to landfill the same mattress,” Jackson added.

Recycling mattresses could increase waste diversion by between five to eight per cent, the city says.

Mayor Gerow says the township will be asked to participate in the diversion program.

“They dismantle them, they take the steel and wood out, they take the fiber out and into dry storage. There is a market developing for these materials.”

Gerow likes the idea but says there are “major concerns for us as a municipality,” namely the lack of storage space at the 6th Line transfer station to keep the mattresses dry and transportation costs to ship the mattresses to the Bensfort landfill.

“The $10 fee, although a small amount, could create some problems for people,” he added.

Events - Norwood - Donations from big-hearted and generous supporters have helped the Norwood Lions Clubs’ annual Christmas toy drive bring smiles to the faces of local youngsters. “(It’s) the generosity of the residents of the Norwood community that makes it such a great event,” campaign chair Rick Bailey said during a stop at the Norwood Post Office, one of five local drop-off locations. Other donation sites include the Norwood RBC branch, the Bowes & Cocks real estate office, Mapleview Retirement Centre and J.J. Stewart Motors.

“The continued support of residents makes for a great community and a better place,” Bailey said.

The Lions have been involved in Christmas toy drives since its inception in 1952, says member Ron Scott who remembers tagging along with his father Max when he delivered toys in Hastings.

Up until relatively recent years its focus had been on food hampers, Scott added, but a few years ago they started to co-ordinate with the Norwood Ministerial Association’s food bank.

“It was getting to be a double whammy sort of thing,” said Scott. “It became more of a toy drive a few years ago, we had done food but toys became our focus when the food bank started up. We used to be more involved in food collection but the food bank fills that need right now.”

Last year the Lions filled approximately 36 boxes with toys and other items that were distributed amongst 66 children.

“It was really high last year,” said Bailey.

Community service club donates $25,000

By John Campbell

News - Warkworth – Flourish, the Trent Hills Wellness Campaign to raise $7 million for various community initiatives, received a major shot in the arm last week – a $25,000 donation from the Warkworth Community Service Club for an addition to the local arena.

“We wanted to show the municipality we’re behind them,” club president Sonny Lennon said after the Nov. 21 meeting when the presentation of a cheque was made. “They’re good partners and we think it’s just the right thing to do.”

The single-storey addition is one of three recreational projects designated to receive funding through the Flourish campaign.

The other two are a wellness and recreation centre in Campbellford that includes an arena, aquatic centre and walking track, and a heated field house for indoor sports in Hastings.

“It’s not only for us, it’s for the next generations,” Lennon said.

The service club decided to act after Friends of the Warkworth Arena committed $20,000 for adding a kitchen, a multi-purpose area and dressing rooms to the building that will make it the first publicly-owned facility in the village that’s accessible.

“We weren’t going to stand by and have them (upstage) the service club so we decided to one-up them,” Lennon quipped.

Now they’re out there scrambling to match the $25,000 donation so as “not to be outdone.”

He said it’s important to the community that’s accessible and can provide a venue for “a great number of groups within the community that need a bigger space.”

It “makes a lot of sense” and

“to a certain extent, completes” the community.

An artist’s conception of the addition can be viewed at the post office and online, at the Flourish campaign website, http://flourishcampaign.ca/ .

A public meeting has been scheduled for Dec. 9 at the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for Arts, beginning at 7 p.m. to discuss the project, to see who wants to be a part of it, and to determine what are the various needs within the community, Lemmon said.

The Flourish campaign has set a long-term goal of raising $7 million, with the money to be divided among the Municipality of Trent Hills for its three recreational facilities ($1 million), Campbellford Memorial Hospital for new equipment

Public shows lack of interest in OPP business plan

By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills – Local residents apparently think it’s none of their business what goes into a business plan for policing the municipality.

Invited to comment and to ask questions about a new three-year business plan Northumberland OPP is putting together for the county that includes specific commitments to Trent Hills, no one showed up for the public consultation last week.

“It’s disappointing,” said Greg Farrant, chair of the Trent Hills Police Services Board which set aside time during its meeting Nov. 19 to receive input from the public.

“I’m not sure if it’s a case of apathy or people just have too many things going on in their lives right now,” he said.

The lack of interest isn’t unique to Trent Hills. Brighton’s police services board went through the same thing. It took three meetings before a handful of residents stepped forward with suggestions and concerns they wanted to see reflected in a new business plan.

“Obviously, it’s important for us to give the public an opportunity to comment,” Farrant said, “because policing affects all of us in this community.”

The police services board and the OPP “get comments from the public all the time,” such as concerns of speeding and safety issues, which are acted upon by detachment commander Inspector Doug Borton and his officers, he said.

However, putting together a business plan with the help of residents is “an opportunity for them once a year to take a look at the big picture, where we’re going with policing and where we’ve been.”

The public can still have a say before the plan takes shape by the end of the year.

“Certainly comments are always welcome,” Farrant said.

The police services board

was given until mid-December to submit ideas and observations. The same deadline will apply to Trent Hills council after board member Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan raises the matter with her colleagues at their first meeting next month.

Councillor Gene Brahaney wondered if the new business plan should focus on drug enforcement, citing the two clandestine meth labs that were found operating in Warkworth and Campbellford last July.

They were linked to a huge criminal enterprise based in the GTA that had produced drugs with a street value estimated at roughly $40 million.

“Do you see this as an emerging issue in this part of the world?” Brahaney asked.

“That was a one-off,” Borton replied. An operation of

that scale “we don’t see that on a regular basis.”

Kelleher-MacLennan said Trent Hills residents “need to be a little bit more on guard and aware” of grow-ops and drugrelated crimes going on in this area.

“Being a rural area sometimes we become complacent because we are more trusting with our neighbours ... than in larger centres,” she said. “You always think it’s not going to happen here.”

Farrant noted “there seems to be an increase in the amount of telephone fraud that is occurring” and wondered if tackling that

problem should be a local commitment by the OPP. “It certainly seems to target the most vulnerable, those who can least afford to lose what they’re losing,” he said. The victims are “perhaps a bit naive in terms of getting caught in these situations (and) there’s a large seniors population in the community.”

Borton responded that it’s “a global problem that we’re being faced with,” and “the num-

ber of victims we have is very small within Northumberland County.”

However, “potential victims” are being protected through educational initiatives provided by police through media releases and participation in fraud workshops offered locally.

“The high level of awareness is good because we don’t see a lot of victims but you have to keep it on everybody’s mind,” Borton said.

Mischief down in Trent Hills: OPP

By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills – Northumberland OPP made a specific commitment to Trent Hills to reduce the average number of incidents of mischief over a five-year period by at least two per cent, and the detachment is well on its way to doing that.

The number has declined steadily from 193 in 2010 to 109 in 2011 and 105 in 2012, for a three-year average of 133. As of the end of October, there had been 79 incidents of mischief reported in 2013, a drop of 23 compared to the same 10-month period a year ago.

“We have been reducing that significantly,” detachment commander Inspector Doug Borton told the Trent Hills Police Services Board last week.

Board chairman Greg Farrant said, “It’s been an excellent year,” citing statistics showing “dramatic progress” is being made to reduce mischief as well as false alarms and the number of service calls to group homes.

FUTURE SHOP CORRECTION NOTICE

NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE FUTURE SHOP NOVEMBER 22 CORPORATE FLYER In the November 22 flyer, page 23, the Frigidaire "Get all three for $1399.99 SAVE an additional $200" Promotion (WebCode: 10229317/10158734/10207287) was advertised with an incorrect savings claim. Please be advised that the correct savings claim is $100 NOT $200, as previously advertised.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

The latter has fallen from a high of 100 in 2010 to 85 in 2012, and this year there had been only 43 to the end of October.

Borton attributed the sharp decline in calls for assistance from group homes to “strengthening” relationships between the police and their owners by holding meetings with their owners, and having frank discussions.

False alarms have dipped every month from January to June, the last month to show figures.

The police services board also played key roles in the municipality adopting bylaws

T

to govern E-bike use and the excessive fortification of buildings.

“We’ve made a number of really positive steps to enhance public safety in this community,” Farrant said.

The OPP, council and board “will continue to work together to try to bring those numbers down even further next year.”

Farrant said pushing for an E-bike bylaw proved “timely” as more of the vehicles are “proliferating on our roads,” and the board will monitor their use by reviewing the bylaw and the one on fortification in 2014.

NEWS

Major funding news from Havelock will benefit seniors

By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock-BelmontMethuen – The Central East LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) will receive nearly $28 million from the provincial ministry of health with its northeast cluster earmarked to get $3,471,922 to help residents, particularly seniors, gain better access to home care and community support to help them live independently in their homes.

Havelock-Belmont-Methuen played host to the announcement

by Peterborough MPP and Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal and seniors in the township and surrounding area, including Norwood, will benefit directly from the soonto-be-implemented Assisted Living for High Risk Seniors (ALS-HRS) program run by the Peterborough branch of the Victoria Order of Nurses (VON) which will receive $349,962.

The VON’s Northumberland branch received $698,925 to run an ALS-HRS program for 90 clients in Campbellford and Cobourg.

Havelock, already home to a successful VON-led adult day service, will be the “rural hub” for the new program, says Lori Cooper, the VON’s district executive director.

When the program is up and running in January, Cooper expects they will be able to service around 45 clients.

“The whole package is very exciting,” she says. “It’s a very flexible type of program that really meets the needs of seniors whose needs are increasing and who might not be coping at home as well right now at home with services from the access centre.”

Cooper says they are already starting to work on the program working with the access centre and other partners to find clients who might benefit from the “flexible care” that can be offered through the ALS-HRS program. They are also in the process of hiring personal support workers (PSWs).

“It’s really a wonderful model of care for PSWs to work in,” she says.

“It’s very attractive to them because their clients all live in this area and it is much more flexible in the sort of care they provide. Every day the care they provide could change depending on client needs. It’s very rewarding for the PSW.” “It’s very exciting. For a program like this we can see the benefits to seniors; we see exactly what they want; they want that flexible

care to stay in their homes,” said Cooper. “Not every square mile in the LHIN is covered by this program so it’s really exciting to see it come to Havelock and Norwood.

Sometimes the level of service isn’t the same in rural areas and that is near and dear to the VON; that’s what we do, we reach out into rural communities.”

“It’s a PSW-driven program,” says Melanie Therrien, VON care and service manager for ALSHRS. “We know we’ll make a positive difference in many local seniors’ lives,” Therrien said. “Most people want to stay at home as long as possible. By being able to provide extra visits when required can help seniors from experiencing a crisis.”

Simple challenges can “end up becoming hurdles,” she said.

The funding, says Central East LHIN board member Val Barkey, will impact lives and support those who are trying valiantly to stay in their own homes.”

The Havelock announcement “accelerates” the opportunity to bring more care to local communities, added senior LHIN director James Meloche.

Havelock was the site of a $28 million health care funding announcement last week. The provincial Ministry of Health and Long Term Care is giving the Central East LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) investing $27,827,000 to support delivery of home care and community services for seniors and better support people with mental health and addiction issues. Among the funding recipients will be the Victoria Order of Nurses to develop an Assisted Living for High Risk Seniors program in Havelock and Campbellford.

ORCA’s proposed fee increases worries council

By Bill Freeman

News - Asphodel-Norwood - A draft proposal that would produce a series of fee increases by the Otonabee Region Conservation Authority has raised the concerns of Asphodel-Norwood council.

Set to kick in January 1, 2014 and again in 2015 the increases are designed to shift more of the costs to the applicants, especially for bigger and more

“complex” projects, ORCA board chair Terry Low told councillors at their regular meeting.

“Right now with the fee structure for the entire county ORCA only gets 43 per cent of the fee charges back, the municipality pays all the rest,” Low sad. “What the board asked staff (to do) is to bring in a fee charge so we end up with a user pay system.”

Currently the municipality is “ab-

And the winner is….

sorbing most of the ORCA fees” within the fees Asphodel-Norwood charges for various building and planning permits, township CAO Joe van Koeverden says.

The proposed increases will make it “unfeasible to continue that practice,” van Koeverden says. “The (proposed) ORCA fees will be an additional cost for any developer or individual looking for various permits.”

“I wonder about the impact of these fees on development.”

“We talk about growth and development, this is going to be a major deterrent to it,” mayor Doug Pearcy said.

“It’s not going to stop people who want to build a house, they’ll still do it; but it’s going to cost them more money.”

“I recommend council send a letter to ORCA expressing concern,” Pearcy said. “I don’t think this is a good thing for the future. I’m not blaming ORCA or

anyone but the cost of doing business is getting so high there won’t be any business done in the future if we keep this up.”

Low says ORCA deliberately proposed increases in “two stages” rather than in “one lump.”

“Basically, this will be revenue neutral for the townships,” he said. “What we’re trying to do is cut down on surcharges to the townships so that people who are using the services pay for the services. The small services will basically remain the same; big projects that are complex will see a major increase (because) they’re more complex (with) more staff time involved.

“It’s not for ORCA to make more money, it’s just to shift the cost of doing business to the proponents as opposed to the townships paying,” he said. “What we’re trying to do is mitigate the costs to townships by charging user fees for

service.”

The draft fee structure sets out costs for minor, intermediate and major plan review applications and permits. For instance, a minor severance consent application will cost $275 on January 1, 2014 and be hiked to $375 in 2015; an intermediate consent will go from $660 in 2014 to $1,100 in 2015.

Councillor Mary Hay was circumspect in her assessment of the ORCA proposal noting that if the cost of doing application work continues to rise and permit fees don’t then those costs will be passed on to all township ratepayers through an increase in the ORCA’s municipal levy.

“So either the people who are asking for the work to be done pay additional costs or we can all pay additional costs (through a levy increase) and personally I would rather have it that the user pay,” said Hay.

Local author sets her sights on science fiction with being hearing impaired and how it impacted her decision to share her story.

“Having a hearing loss in a world where we talk and listen and hear . . . well when that ability is taken away you tend to feel isolated and excluded at social events. It’s like you are invisible, a ghost,” she said.

“When I was writing it I realized someone else has got to be going through the same thing,” she commented.

Gibson made a conscious decision to incorporate her reality onto the pages of her books.

The popularity of her first book led to her decision to write the second and the third.

“As soon as I published Compass on Kobo it was picked up by Black Opal Books,” she noted.

The company has now published all three of her books.

Better access to oral health care would prevent ER visits

ers.

Her confidence is reflected inside and out, not only in her books, but in her life.

“In this third book Jesse has a much better idea of where she is going . . . Becomes much more mature,” she noted.

“Honestly I wish I had these books when I was a teenager. Jesse is a hero in my eyes.”

With the ink barely dry on her trilogy, Gibson is already looking forward to a new project.

“I wouldn’t say the trilogy is the final chapter in a sense even though it’s the end of a trilogy. My mom and I are going to co-author a science fiction book,” she said with enthusiasm.

“You can have so much fun with it and I want to try something new . . . want a challenge.”

Gibson has donated a copy of Destiny to the library in Warkworth.

Award winning photographer, freelance Illustrator, graphic designer and published author Jennifer Gibson’s story of living with a hearing impairment is like a TV reality series but on the pages of each of the books in her trilogy.

In 2008, the provincial government committed to develop a program to pay dental costs for low-income families.

Financial-assistance programs were created or expanded, but only cover dental treatment for lowincome children – not adults.

Even here, the income eligibility for families to access money to pay for dental care is extremely low, meaning many cannot qualify for assistance.

News - Campbellford Hundreds of visits to local hospital emergency rooms (ERs) could be prevented if residents with serious dental problems had better access to oral health treatment, says a local advocacy group.

Representatives of the Northumberland Oral Health Coalition stated there would be significant savings in health care costs, and less strain put on local ER doctors, if an investment was made to boost access to dental treatment services.

In 2012, there were a total of 599 visits to hospitals in Campbellford and Cobourg for oral health issues, based on Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care data obtained by the local Oral Health Coalition.

Just over half, 306 ER visits, were made to Northumberland Hills Hospital in Cobourg. Another 293 visits for oral health issues were made to Campbellford Memorial Hospital.

“Most of these ER visits are unnecessary and could be prevented if the person with serious oral health problems had access to a dental professional right away,” stated Sue Hochu, chairperson of the Northumberland Oral Health Coalition.

“That is less costly and a much better investment for all of us.”

Currently OHIP pays to treat pain and infection in every part of the body, except for the mouth. This means many adults in Northumberland County and Ontario suffer with pain and infection from poor oral health because they cannot afford to get regular dental treatment.

High cost and lack of dental insurance are among the barriers to care.

“Often, people with serious dental problems have no choice but to go to hospital to treat the pain,” stated

Destiny is the largest one, with over 100,000 words (more than 300 pages),” she explained. Sway weighs in at 60,000 words and Compass has 80,000.

“I needed to wrap it up in Destiny,” said Gibson.

“So much has happened in my life in the last one-and-a-half years. I went deaf in my right ear and it caught us all by surprise and turned my world upside down. It has been very difficult to deal with.”

Her parents have been her biggest supporters. And her fans, too.

“I incorporated this change into the book along with my struggles and wrote it in the mind of a teenager so I said what would happen if Jesse went through this,” she explained.

Gibson is not only an accomplished author, she is also a photographer and graphic artist.

She designed all three book cov-

and a 2011 AMI 14-inch snowplow blade with power angle.

The equipment was declared surplus in the municipality’s equipment efficiency report that was presented earlier in the year.

There was quite a bit of interest in the items, especially the 2003 International tandem, which drew 13 bids alone. The highest bid was $28,626 from Donald H. Wills Construction Company Ltd. The equipment was advertised for sale in local newspapers, on Kijiji, on the township’s website and directly to local contractors and dealers in the area.

The highest bid for the 2009 JCB four-by-four was $42,100

from Sportec York Allen. Eleven bids were received for this piece of equipment.

Six bids were received for the 2012 trackless boom flail mower with the Municipality of South Huron tendering an offer of $17,600.

McCracken Towing Inc. placed the highest bid for the 2011 AMI 14-inch snow plow blade and power angle at $4,069. The municipality received seven bids for this item.

If the successful bidder refuses to accept the award then council has agreed to make the item available to the next highest bidder.

Proceeds from the sale will go into to the public works equipment reserve.

Lifestyles - Warkworth - Local author Jennifer Gibson has her own reality series, except it’s not on a television show, it’s on the pages of her books.

The final book in her trilogy, Destiny continues the story of the heroine Jesse, a hearing-impaired teenager who tries her best to blend in at school.

Based on the life experiences of the author, the series began with Sway which was first published as an e-book in 2009, followed by Compass.

“Jesse’s journey began in Sway and Compass and as we continue to follow her in Destiny she stumbles across a revelation that could change everything and finds herself standing on the precipice of life,” said Gibson.

Sitting in the comfort of her home, she spoke with the Trent Hills Independent about her real-life struggle

By Bill Freeman

Asphodel-Norwood – Luke Benjamin dared his classmates to dream big and to “bring excellence” to everything they do during a powerful valedictorian speech that capped a grand and lively Norwood District High School 2013 commencement ceremony.

The Havelock native, a school leader and pillar of the guitar club and Java Fest, says he was surprised when he was told he would be the Class of 2013 valedictorian.

“I thought they might have been joking. It was quite an honour,” he said during an interview at Guardian Pharmacy in Havelock where he is working this year.

“I like getting up and speaking my thoughts but I haven’t had much of a chance to do it before. It gave me an opportunity to say what I was thinking and put my thoughts out there.”

He says it was a “different” experience standing on stage and looking out over a sea of friends wearing mortarboards and gowns. The key was to try to speak to the class like “talking to friends” one-on-one.

“It was a good place to be.”

Luke will be heading to Slovakia in February to do mission work, teaching guitar and working with people through music.

It ties in with what he would like to do in the future: full-time mission work and helping people such as underprivileged children.

His speech took two weeks to write with lots of revisions.

“It’s hard to believe that we’re finally here, the journey has been just like climbing a mountain,” Luke told his classmates on grad night. “It took forever to get to the top but once we arrived we didn’t remember the bottom being so far away.”

Graduation night, Luke said, was a time to “celebrate accomplishments and look back on all we’ve done; look at where we are now and look ahead to who we will be.”

They’ve navigated academic and social shoals which dotted pathways from Grade 9 to Grade 12; overcoming trials, mastering skills and discovering strength in growing maturity and now they’ve embarked on a new chapter in life: “A chapter that will have its own problems and difficult situations as well as new successes and goals met.

“This chapter is not yet written but we have done the footwork for it here in high school,” Luke said. “Some of the decisions we have made will help to direct what we will do, where we will go and who we will become.”

Graduation, he added, “represents all that we have done to make it this far, but also the closing of a chapter in our lives.

As the chapters’ final words are being written a new one is just beginning.”

Luke quoted Eleanor Roosevelt: “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

“Set a goal and strive to obtain it,” he urged his peers.

“We need to accept that we are going to make mistakes in life, that’s just how it is. We just need to make sure they’re teaching us lessons instead of defining who we are.”

And he “dared them” to jump into their future “with enthusiasm and to place no limits on what they hope to accomplish.

“Dare to succeed beyond your wildest expectations.”

The goodie basket has a few items to help plan the party as well, including Tim Hortons coffee and tea, a block of Empire Cheese, a box of crackers, a box of cookies, a pouch of Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Finest Chocolate, some holiday napkins, a jar

of Dr. Gâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (made by Dr. Glenn Gibson, chief of chief of chief of anesthesiology) and other added surprises.

Any donation of $20 or more will result in a donation receipt from the Foundation at a later date.

The Foundation is hoping to raise $145,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This critical piece of equipment is vital to virtually every operation performed at CMH. One of our current anesthetic machines is in its 23rd year of service. It is becoming obsolete and unserviceable,â&#x20AC;? Russell explained.

Up to 1,500 procedures that require the use of an anesthetic machine are performed each year at CMH. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By supporting the Angels of Care campaign donors can help the Foundation to fulfill the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need for this

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Campbellford - Free vision and hearing tests by the Campbellford Lions Club are making a difference in the lives of schoolchildren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started out with vision and have been doing it in Campbellford for about five years,â&#x20AC;? said Elaine May, chair of the vision and hearing sessions.

She and fellow Lions members were at Kent Public School recently testing the hearing and vision of Senior Kindergarten and Grade 1 students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About two years ago my husband was zone chair and responsible for clubs in the area and we heard about testing for hearing for children so we went around to different clubs and raised the funds and purchased a hearing machine,â&#x20AC;? she explained.

The Lions club now does both screenings.

Using a picture chart the hearing screening takes two to three minutes per child.

Hearing screening results may indicate a potential need for further assessment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t diagnose,â&#x20AC;? May commented, but she noted that there seems to be an increase in the number of hearing issues that children are having.

Both programs come under the umbrella of Lions Clubs International. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seven refractors worth about $10,000 each that were purchased for use in the district,â&#x20AC;? May explained.

With more than 100 clubs, the units are well used for the vision screenings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vision screenings can detect a variety of conditions,â&#x20AC;? explained May. These include everything from nearsightedness or myopia to farsightedness or hyperopia to astigmatism, amblyopia or lazy eye to glaucoma and cataracts.

The Lions organization is already known for its service to the blind and the visually impaired.

The Lions Foundation of Canada trains dog guides and assists people with a wide range of disabilities. It not only helps those who are blind, but also people who are deaf or hard of hearing and children who have autism, a physical disability, epilepsy or diabetes.

The local club focussed on vision and hearing during the visit to Kent school.

May explained there are three simple procedures to screen a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision, distance, alignment. The auto refractor, which checks both eyes in seconds, can indicate whether a child may need cor-

rective lenses and a referral to an eye care professional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and over the years that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing this the amount of children that we have referred to home doctors is amazing,â&#x20AC;? commented Eric Holmdon, president of the Campbellford Lions Club.

He agrees the number of children being referred is on the upswing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Particularly with their hearing, I think with the audio systems we have now and noise so loud it affects their ears,â&#x20AC;? he added.

Next generation of curlers on the rinks in Campbellford

By Sue Dickens

Sports – Campbellford - The next generation of young curlers is learning what originators of the sport in Scotland discovered when the first stones were thrown along the ice on a frozen pond. It can be a source of great fun and, for those who pursue it, serious competition.

Teaching the basics of the sport to a group of youngsters ranging from age eight to 12, and sometimes older, Ben Godden is an avid curler who is bringing his expertise to the “newbies” at the curling club in Campbellford.

“We usually average 20 to 22 kids but this year we’re pushing 29 boys and girls,” he told the Trent Hills Independent as the first week of 12 got underway last Sunday.

The cost to register in the youth program is $67.

Godden is assisted by fellow curlers and club members Rooke Meiklejohn and Ron Hart.

He has taught for the past couple of years.

“We hold one-and-a-half-hour sessions and teach the kids the basics,” said Godden as the young “wanna-be” curlers started to arrive for their first day.

“It’s pretty much the basics at this young age, such as sliding and getting used to the ice,” he added.

“Your slide is the most important thing to learn . . . it’s your delivery. Next is weight and how to do a fast or slow draw,” he added, obviously at ease with the curling lingo.

He should be, he’s been curling since the age of 10.

“I just enjoy getting out and socializing now.

At one time I was more competitive and into bonspiels . . . and now I’ve got three daughters of my own who are here today,” he said with

PET

a grin.

His daughters Abby, age 14, Ryan, 12, and Bronwyn, 9 are all set to learn what their dad has to say about the sport although they have probably heard it for years at home.

“Curling is easy. The hard part is getting the rock into the circle. The easy part is throwing the rock,” said Bronwyn, the youngest.

This will be her second year in the program.

“It’s fun. The hardest part is ‘how do I get that rock in there?’” she said pointing at the blue circle at the other end of the rink.

“About 10 youngsters this year are completely brand new and have never seen a curling stone or been on the ice before,” noted Godden.

“Some of the kids pick it up right away and some just struggle. For some kids they just can’t stand on the ice.”

Eight-year-old Ethan Dorie, of Campbellford, is one of the newcomers. He was there with his brother William, age 10.

Neither has curled before but when a notice was circulated at their school about the youth curling program they both decided it would be fun to take the lessons.

“I’ve never curled before,” said young Ethan.

“I’ve mostly played soccer at school.”

“I know that you have to try to get it (the rock) into a blue circle,” he said.

“I’ve seen it on TV,” said his older brother.

“They learn the do’s and don’ts on the ice, a lot of etiquette like don’t run in front of the other team when they are throwing a rock,” commented Godden.

It was a closely fought contest, with the home side outshooting the Rebels 21-19. For Kevin Valdes it was his fifth loss of the season.

The rematch was a more wide open affair, with Port Hope holding a 38-32 edge in shots, but it took until 6:58 of the second period before the visitors got on the scoreboard first.

Jordan Boutilier tied it for Campbellford at 4:16 of the third with his team playing shorthanded. The team fell behind again less than two minutes later, Family Dentist but Jon Samis evened the count a little past the midway point.

Tough weekend for Norwood Vipers

Sports - Asphodel-Norwood The Norwood J.J. Stewart Vipers took it on the chin over the weekend, giving up 22 goals in losses to the Whitby Dunlops and Dundas Real McCoys in Allan Cup Hockey Senior AAA action.

It wasn’t the kind of return to action that all-star goalie Ryan Aschaber was hoping for but the man who led the Vipers to a John Ross Robertson Cup title and led them into Game 7 of the ACH final three years ago is still shaking off the rust after a good three years away from elite competition.

So the good news is that it’s still early days in the ACH season and the Vipers (2-3-0) remain in fourth place in a year where it looks like the hard battle will be for second to fourth place behind the high-flying and undefeated Brantford Blast.

The Whitby Dunlops broke open a close 2-1 game with four

unanswered goals in the second period then added three more in the third to skate to a 9-2 win.

Joe Curry and Darren Doherty scored for Norwood with newcomer Mike Hanna adding a pair of assists.

The Dunlops outshot Norwood 44-35, which included an opening period edge of 18-13.

Aschaber started the game and played the first two periods giving up six goals on 32 shots before being subbed by Claydon Edwards.

The Real McCoys picked up their first win of the season travelling to Norwood with a short bench of 13 skaters and two goalies that still included stars like Cam Watson, Darryl Smith, Scott Mifsud and former Mississauga Ice Dogs and Belleville Bulls goalie Mike Mole.

It was a freewheeling affair that ended with a score of 12-7 for Dundas. Both teams fired 49 shots on net.

Dundas led 2-0 after the first period then added two more in the first 4:28 of the second before goals by Doherty and Murray Free cut the score to 4-2 with assists to Free, captain Steve Thomas and Nathan Oke. The Real McCoys put an end to that little offensive spurt with three consecutive goals in three minutes to make it 7-2 before Mike Madgett beat Mole. Dundas goals by Smith and Watson made it 9-3.

Both teams scored four goals in the third period, with Norwood getting goals from Chris Johnston, Doherty, former Whitby Dunlops speedster Colin Baker and Free.

Vipers buzz: Norwood travels to Brantford (7-0-0) November 29 then hosts the league’s newest franchise, the Stoney Creek Generals (3-4-0), December 1; they are in Welland (0-41-1) December 7 and host the Dunlops (5-3-0) December 8….

Bantam Hornets fall in Silver Stick semis

By Bill Freeman

Sports - Pembroke – The Norwood bantam Hornets fell two goals short of a trip to the final of the regional Silver Stick tournament in Pembroke. The Hornets were edged 2-1 by the Valley Storm in the semifinals, a team that had nipped them 3-2 in their opening game.

The two teams skated through a scoreless first period before the Storm struck for a pair in the second including a powerplay marker.

Norwood cut the lead in half with 3:41 to play in the third period with Hayden Baptie finding the back of the net off an assist from Nolan Beamish.

“We struggled for a period and a half,” coach Greg Hartwick said.

“We seemed to be a step behind or a pass behind. We picked it up in the third but just couldn’t quite fin-

said.

Karn Dart, Colin Doyle and Blaine Thompson scored in the season opener, with assists going to Brady Cross, Brendan Herrington and Matt Forestell.

Caleb Crothers and Doyle tallied in the tie, with Cross drawing an assist. Jacob Bennett and Christian Lachapelle scored for Norwood, assisted by Hayden Leeper, Max McLeod and Dan Bennett.

The draw at home was a “good fast game for both teams (but) Norwood’s goaltender stopped many quality shots” and the Flames “had twice as many penalty minutes to kill” as the visitors.

Campbellford has a shot of exacting revenge against both rivals this week. It plays at Norwood Wednesday and then hosts TAS Thursday, November 28. The game starts at 1:30 p.m.

The Hornets earned their trip to the semifinals with a key 4-2 win over the Deep River and Area Knights. After taking a 1-0 first period lead on a goal by Turcotte, assisted by Max Stewart, Norwood fell behind 2-1 by the midway point of the second period.

The key moment in the game was Hornets’ two-man penalty kill where they played short for a full two minutes. That effort and stellar goaltending by Dart cued the rally that was a Baptie natural hat trick that ended with an empty-net goal with 35 seconds left in the game.

Picking up assists were Gavin Woodburn, with two, Dunn, Turcotte and Stewart.

Hornets buzz: In league play Norwood tied Lakefield 3-3 rallying from a 3-1 deficit. Scoring were Turcotte, Owen Jordan and Sicker with assists to Turcotte, Dunn and Beamish.

In the opener goalie Isaac Dart was sharp. A mix-up at the Norwood blue line with 38 seconds to go in the game cost the Hornets the winning goal.

Norwood had a 1-0 lead after the first period on a goal by Beamish with assists to Nathan Dunn and Zack Pearson. Valley Storm evened the score in the second then took the lead at the 10:47 mark of the third before Baptie, on a powerplay, tied the game.

The Storm got the go-ahead goal with 38 seconds left.

Jake Krabbe earned the shutout in the Hornets 3-0 win over Ottawa Valley-based Muskrat.

Scoring for Norwood were Dawson Turcotte, Dunn and Baptie with an empty-netter. Assists went to Baptie, Eric Sicker and Turcotte.

By John Campbell

Sports - Campbellford – It wasn’t the start to the season coach Brad Mountain had hoped for – his Campbellford District High School Flames lost 5-3 to Thomas A. Stewart (TAS) and played to a 2-2 draw with Norwood last week – but he remains optimistic his team will rise to the top before it’s all over.

“We have a good chance to be first in our division,” he said.

Campbellford plays in Division 2 of the Kawartha Boys High School Hockey League, along with TAS, Norwood, Adam Scott, Kenner, and Lakefield.

Division 1 is made up of Crestwood, St. Peter’s, Fenelon Falls, Holy Cross, Haliburton, Lindsay Collegiate and Lindsay I.E. Weldon.

Campbellford could be sitting at 2-0 but it blew a 3-0 lead in its loss to TAS November 19 and the team ran into penalty trouble in its home opener against Norwood November 21.

“Realistically we should have won both games,” Mountain

Darren Doherty (3-7-10) is tied mer Lake Superior State player and former SUNY Plattsburgh for sixth in scoring. Whitby’s is in first followed by Stoney player Patrick Job (1-12-13) of John Scrymgeour (9-7-16) a for- Creek’s Kyle McQuade (6-7-13) Whitby.

CAAWC helps United Way with unique fundraiser

By Ross Lees

News - It’s not an easy first step to take, but a lot of people, young and not so young, took it Saturday on behalf of the United Way of Quinte.

Some had to be coaxed to go out of the Canadian Army Advanced Warfare Centre (CAAWC) training towers the first time, but a surprising number couldn’t wait to give it a try; all after forking over a few bucks towards this year’s Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign (GCWCC) towards the United Way at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton.

Once they’d done it the first time, many were anxious to go back and do it again, some several times.

Twelve-year-old Julia Flor rapelled down the 60-foot rapelling tower with relative ease after some coaching from the facility instructors. Once she was over the lip of the tower, she just kept going until she reached the bottom amid cheers from her family and friends.

“It was scary, but it was fun,” she said a little later after she had warmed up.

Adding even more excitement to the day was the fact cold winds kept blowing in snow squalls throughout the day.

“It’s not an easy thing to do,” noted CAAWC Commanding Officer Lt.-Col. Francois Dufault as he watched his team of trained personnel help people go

through the training towers.

Elizabeth Campbell had to be coaxed by her son to jump off the tower the first time, but she immediately went back to do it again.

“It was a lot of fun,” she laughed after taking the initial plunge. “I’m going back up to do it again.”

“This is my third time,” one gentleman noted as he went back up the stairs of the tower.

Julia and her family took the opportunity to go off both towers to experience the parachuting aspect of the training and the rappelling.

The day not only raised funds for the United Way of Quinte, it also provided training experiences for those CAAWC members on the towers. The centre

is the main training hub for the Canadian military, pushing 13 courses through per year, including the military freefall parachuting, mountain operations and parachute rigging.

United Way of Quinte executive director Judi Gilbert arrived late in the day with her three nieces and, while the parachuting tower was closed at that time, her nieces loved the rappelling tower, she said.

“I think it was a great initiative to open something of this nature up to the public,” Gilbert stated. “Not only does it raise funds for the campaign but gives people a small glimpse into CFB. We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful partner in CFB.” Please see “United Way fundraiser” page B3

Hundreds arrive for Farmtown Christmas

News - Stirling – It was a Christmas celebration at Farmtown Park as hundreds of visitors arrived last weekend for a fundraiser that wrapped up Sunday afternoon with the raffle of dozens of holiday prizes.

Christmas at Farmtown Park organizer Harry Danford, joined by other museum officials, welcomed guests and thanked supporters, sponsors and volunteers before making his way through Heritage Village with Stirling-Rawdon Mayor Rodney Cooney while drawing the names of the lucky winners.

Volunteers at the local agricultural museum also held their annual Starlite House Tour last Friday evening that once again, they say, was well attended.

Along the way, ticket holders visited five area homes, decorated for the holidays, before finishing the tour at the museum’s Heritage Village.

“It was really good,” says organizer Edith Ray. “The numbers were up a little bit from last year,” she adds, noting the annual tour continues to be popular with comments from participants being extremely favourable.

Danford, who headed up the team of volunteers behind the

annual event dubbed Home for the Holidays, says the successful return of the fundraiser last year set the wheels in motion for the continuation of the annual event.

And with more than 60 items available for raffle, crowds arrived throughout the weekend to get a look at the goods.

The recreated streetscape was awash in Christmas lights and with plenty of treats on full display along the way.

With the help of the Christmas festival’s Artistic Director Debbie Cooney, the historical street scene offered a bright and colourful welcome to the holiday season with a little extra warmth provided by a

Amanda Low was one of Santa’s many helpers during the weekend Christmas event at Farmtown Park, where trees and toys were among the items up for raffle.

trio of heaters and refreshments available for visitors. Farmtown Park Manager Margaret Grotek says the weekend was a busy one and, although the museum has been closed for the winter, the Christmas themed fundraiser continues to bring the community together despite the chill.

Raffle prizes included dozens of artificial trees, each covered in ornaments and thematically decorated, boxes of toys and baskets of holiday items. A refurbished and repainted Farmtown Park Express, a miniature train that will be used at future Christmas at Farmtown Park Organizer Harry Danford, joined by Kathy functions as well, was loaded with toys Reid (left) and Mary Hunt, prepares to draw a ticket during last week- and drew plenty of attention from the end’s fundraiser at the Stirling agricultural museum. younger visitors.

Each raffle item was accompanied by a box where tickets could be deposited throughout the four-day event, with the final draws held Sunday afternoon. Those who were not in attendance for the final draw were notified afterwards with prizes available for pickup earlier this week.

United Way fundraiser hosted

by CAAWC Continued from page B1

Approximately 100 people showed up for the first-time event, according to Capt. Andy McGregor and $700 was raised.

“It was our first time organizing something like this, so we wanted to make sure we did it properly,” he said.

They are pretty sure they will do it again, but they might do it a little earlier in the campaign, Capt. McGregor stated.

“Next time we’ll probably do it in September to start the campaign,” he laughed, referring to the cold winds and snow squalls throughout the day.

He called the event a win-win situation.

“Not only was it a way to raise money for the United Way, it works up people’s confidence to push themselves both mentally and physically, just like we do in the Canadian Armed Forces,” he said.

We’re getting older News - According to preliminary Statistics Canada estimates, 5,379,600 Canadians, or 15.3 per cent of the country’s population, were aged 65 and over on July 1, 2013.

This proportion has steadily increased since the beginning of the 1960s mainly because of fertility rates persistently below the replacement level and increasing life expectancy. In 1960, the proportion of Canadians aged 65 and over was 7.6 per cent.

As of July 1, 2013, the median age of the Canadian population was 40.2 years. The median age was higher for women (41.1 years) than men (39.4 years). This difference is largely explained by a persistent, although diminishing, gap in life expectancy in favour of women.

Canada has one of the lowest proportion of seniors among G8 countries. At 15.3 per cent, its proportion remains below what was

registered in Japan (25.0 per cent), Germany (21.0 per cent), Italy (21.0 per cent), France (17.0 per cent) and the United Kingdom (16.0 per cent). However, it is higher than those recorded in the United States (14.0 per cent) and Russia (13.0 per cent).

Because the baby-boom cohorts recently started to reach their 65th birthday, the number of Canadian seniors is now increasing at an accelerated pace. Since July 1, 2011, the number of seniors grew at an average annual rate of 4.2 per cent. By comparison, the average annual rate for the five previous years was 2.8 per cent. This proportion should continue to rise rapidly in the coming years as an increasing number of baby boomers will reach the age of 65.

A look at the last 30 years shows that all age groups over 40 posted higher increases than the national average. The largest gains happened in age groups aged 80 and over. In

contrast, three age groups saw their numbers decrease during this period: the 20 to 24 (-2.4 per cent), the 10 to 14 (-1.1 per cent) and the 15 to 19 (-0.6 per cent) age groups. These cohorts were born between 1989 and 2003, a period in which Canadian fertility was at its lowest levels.

As a result of increasing life expectancy, more and more Canadians now reach the age of 100. According to preliminary estimates, there were 6,900 centenarians in Canada on July 1, 2013, representing almost 20 centenarians per 100,000 persons. In 2001, this proportion was just over half of that at 11 centenarians per 100,000 persons. By comparison, Japan’s population in 2012 had around 40 centenarians per 100,000 persons.

More women than men reach the age of 100 because of lower mortality levels at all ages.

In 2013, centenarians were mostly women (87.1 per cent).

Property owners show their support

Point Property Owners’ Association let governments know back in 2010 that its News - Brighton - The Presqu’ile the municipal, provincial and federal local landmark, the lighthouse, needed attention.

All three levels replied to the association indicating support for its preservation, president Pat Boyce said. However, “because there wasn’t anything in progress, they didn’t give ... money but they said they would.”

Now the association is challenging the three governments to commit funding because progress is being made toward a solution to halt deterioration of the 173-year-old lighthouse.

Leading the charge to save the tower is the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society which has raised money for an engineering study to be done and is prepared to raise much more when the scope of work required has been identified.

To show its support for the work the society is doing, the property owners’ association donated $500 last week.

R0012372993

By John Campbell

The lighthouse is “part of the history of Presqu’ile. It has served us for boating and tourism, it’s the icon of the community,” Boyce said. “Everybody has it on their letterhead. We are all very supportive.”

The 69-foot octagonal tower built in 1840 was originally just limestone but it had to be encased with timber and cedar shingles before the end of the century to protect it from further damage.

The contractors took shortcuts to save money, using local limestone rather than limestone from Kingston, which was of superior quality, and making the mortar with beach sand, rather than quarried sand, association director Spencer Dennis said.

The structure started eroding almost immediately, and its durability has continued to decline because of moisture getting trapped inside and then freezing and thawing.

“The lighthouse is still gift wrapped,”

said Norman Bastin, chair of the preservation society. “We have to take the wrapping off – the gift is inside.”

The organization will boost its fundraising efforts by placing small handmade cottages in stores throughout town in December to receive donations.

It’s held two draws to date, at a gala event and Applefest. The winners of signed and numbered replicas of the lighthouse made by Bastin were Dan Thompson (first) and Kathryn Corbett (second). Bob Burke won a framed print of the lighthouse donated by Dave Lawler and Quinte Art & Custom Frame for the Applefest raffle.

Symphony to honour Bonisteel Entertainment - Belleville - Quinte Symphony’s coming Christmas concert will be a tribute to the memory of prominent Quinte area resident Roy Bonisteel.

The location for this concert has been moved to Quinte Secondary School Auditorium on Saturday, Dec. 14 at 7 p.m.

The concert, called: “A Christmas Tapestry,” will include one of Roy’s favourite yuletide tunes, What Child Is This, set to the English folk song, Greensleeves. Also on the program will be a short original composition by one of the orchestra’s members who started as a student some years ago, viola player Andrew Farmer, and a Christmas Fantasy by Clifford Crawley of Kingston, a former conductor of the orchestra when it was still called the Eastern Ontario Concert Orchestra.

There will be an opportunity for audience participation in a carol sing also.

TRAVEL

Exploring Germany’s fairy tale route

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - The 600-kilometre German Fairy Tale Route takes the visitor from Hanau, in central Germany, to Bremen, in the north, and it focuses on the lives and fairy tale collections of Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm.

This route has been particularly popular of late, for it has been 200 years since the publication of their first collection, Children’s and Household Tales, in December 1812 – and there have been several special anniversary celebrations going on. Therefore, I decided to check out part of this magical route for myself on my latest adventure trek.

I began my research in Hanau, the birthplace of the Brothers Grimm, and I discovered that the actual house in which they first lived no longer exists, but I did find a nameplate marking the spot. I also found a lot of information about the two brothers in the local museum, which is housed in a former summer palace: Castle Philippsruhe.

Wilhelm and Jacob finally preserved, in writing, tales that had been told orally for hundreds of years – and this list of fairy tales certainly brought back many fond childhood memories to me, for they included Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Little Red Riding Hood, the Frog Prince, and the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

I learned that these stories have been translated into about 140 languages, and I couldn’t help but think of how these ancient tales still influence us today, for so many of them have been adapted by Walt Disney – or altered in such films as Red Riding Hood, Snow White and the Huntsman, Snow White: A Tale of Terror, and Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.

I also thought of TV’s Grimm – and of our very own upcoming Pinnacle Playhouse production (in late May) of Into the Woods, Stephen Sondheim’s musical take on these fairy tales. I was even reminded of a rather recent book, entitled Red Rider’s Hood, in which Red Rider visits his grandmother in his red mustang and discovers that she’s a wolf-hunter being terrorized by a gang of werewolves. Unique interpretations, indeed!

I took a walking tour of Hanau with Dr. Wolfgang Hasenpusch, and we visited the Brothers Grimm National Monument, which pays tribute to the famous linguists, cultural researchers, and fairy tale collectors. I learned that there’s now a “Brothers Grimm Prize for Literature” awarded annually – and even a Brothers Grimm wine and pastry sold here.

We also attended the “Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale Festival”, where we watched a 2-hour production of a version of a Brothers Grimm story about a brother and sister - entirely in German! And, believe it or not, the sets, acting, and music still made this very entertaining to me – despite my missing all the spoken jokes!

I was very fortunate to be in Hanau this summer, at the very time of its annual “Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale Festi-

val”, as this was certainly a great way for me to ‘kick start’ my exploration of the Fairy Tale Route. I next went to the nearby village of Steinau, for the A statue of the Brothers Grimm in Hanau, their boys moved here at the ages of 5 and 6, birthplace.

when dad became the district magistrate.

The courthouse, where the family lived from 1791 - 1796, is now known as the Brothers Grimm House, and it contains a museum with lots of information and memorabilia about the family. It was here that I learned that another talented brother, Ludwig, became a very successful illustrator – and his sketches certainly added to the popularity of Wilhelm and Jacob’s published works.

I toured Steinau with guide Heike Lifke, and I was told that the tiny village hasn’t changed all that much from when the Grimms lived there. It’s still a quiet little place, with narrow, cobblestone streets and halftimbered houses. However, there’s now the addition of a Fairy Tale Fountain in the village centre, with various characters from the Brothers Grimm fairy tales featured.

I considered visiting Marburg next, where the brothers attended school, or Kassel, where they later lived and worked and collected fairy tales (and now the site of yet another important Brothers Grimm museum), but I felt that I had enough background and historical information about them already.

I also thought about visiting the Sleeping Beauty Castle (Sababurg) or Rapunzel’s Castle (in Trendelburg), or spending time in the land or Little Red Riding Hood (between Alsfeld and Fritzlar), but I decided to head further north instead, since my time was limited, to check out Hameln, site of the Clubhouse Brothers Grimm fairy tale entitled “The Pied Piper of Hamelin”. This proved to be the right decision for me – and I was so intrigued by this destination that I’ll be writing about it in next week’s travel feature.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth:

Dan Clost Lifestyles - “Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.”- Will Durant “I have yet to plumb the depths of my own ignorance.” - Dan Clost Gardening can provide us with quite the education if we let it. Now, the gardening to which I am referring is that

Gardening provides quite the education

of the hobbyist, not of the farmer or the landscaper. A starting term would be ornamental garden and includes plants in the landscape and the vegetable garden. For many of us who engage in this activity, it is a recreational pursuit with the reward coming in the doing and not necessarily the achieving. Our professional livelihood and our sustenance are not derived from this pursuit, although both are enhanced by it.

Let’s take a carrot farmer as an illustration. Such a person might grow 30 plus tons of fresh carrots per acre. This year, as odd a year as it was, I grew about 30 carrots in total and that is only if I duct-taped all of the wee things together.

(Took a bit longer for soil temperatures to reach good germination values and I suspect the soil was a bit heavy.) So, we purchased carrots from the farmer’s markets and grocery stores. If I was the carrot farmer and reaped such a meager

crop, the only carrots I would see would be those at the food bank. And I would not see the irony.

For many Gentle Readers, especially those of us who have seen their first 50 years go whooshing past, gardening was part of our lives growing up. Many of us did rely on homegrown veggies and fruits as part of our daily meals...even if it did occasionally include pickled beets. And if we lived in an urban setting, the green grocer was a common shopping stop. I clearly remember shelves and cupboards of mason jars filled with pickles, peaches and other “stuff”. I would say “stuff” like chutney or green tomato chow-chow, but then I’d get an email from my Mom telling me my memory doesn’t quite match hers.

I also remember bins of potatoes and carrots, cabbages hanging from beams in the basement and the odd bushel of parsnips picked up at a sale barn. Those

times have changed dramatically and, in spite of all the back-to-the-earth proponents, will never come again.

It is important to make that distinction because we need to understand how words have their meaning changed over time; we need to use the same definition within the conversation.

The question now becomes, “What is an educated gardener?” Certainly the obvious aspects of understanding how a plant grows and how to provide it with the culture it requires in order to do so are an important part. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have much of a garden to talk about. So we can include bits and pieces of botany, biology, soil science, geography and meteorology. Let’s not forget arithmetic: mathematics can be included but then you’re probably a carrot farmer who wandered out of the patch and into this newspaper.

GR, that is merely scratching the sur-

face and doesn’t get to the root of the issue.

Gardening, carried out over the years, brings experience and, with the considered application of that experience, wisdom. Along the way, we cannot help but become philosophers. I like to think that a philosopher is a person who thinks about everything around them as being unquestionably connected to everything else. Then, the thinking considers the results of our individual responses to everything else, which can be a lot to think about. In our gardens, we watch the wonders of nature being wrought before our eyes; we learn the relationships between all of the organisms involved, seen and unseen, good and bad, including Sox our dog who likes to eat bell peppers al hortus. We learn patience and that to everything there is a season.

All of that, together, creates an educated gardener.

Concert to support military overseas draws big crowd

By Debbie McLean

Entertainment - Quinte West - We had a great turn out and lots of amazing music at the Trenton Legion on November 22.

Lieutenant-Colonel Tress Home and Chief Warrant Officer Ted Poper came as representatives from CFB Trenton to accept the 200 plus CDs that The Lady and Old Toad Gil presented to them.

The CDs were produced to send to Canadian Forces members stationed overseas as Christmas gifts.

Also on hand were Quinte West City Councillor Paul Kyte and Northumberland/Quinte West MPP Rob Milligan.

The Lady and Old Toad Gil were so thrilled with the whole evening. Music artists and musicians performing on the night were; Cedarail (Wendy Bellan and David Hayes) Michael Arthur, Betty-Ann Perry, Dane Perry, Debbie McLean, Brett McNaueal and Darcy Hammerton.

Everyone who came out was very happy that they did.

Remember if anyone would like to sponsor more CDs to be pressed they may contact Old Toad Gil at christmasfromhome@gmail.com. Five thousand CDs have already been pressed and approximately 3,000 have been distributed thus far.

A great crowd turned out at the Trenton Legion for a concert to promote the CDs being given out to the military overseas. Photo: submitted

Anne of Green Gables will light up stage at NDHS

By Bill Freeman

high-spirited heroine of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s enduring 1908 novel, will come to life in the high school’s production of the famously Canadian musical with Brittany Stewart in the lead

role.

“I am very excited,” says director Tracey Irwin, a member of the Peterborough Singers who is also the school’s guidance secretary.

R0012438743

Entertainment - Norwood – Anne of Green Gables will light up the stage at Norwood District High School.

Anne Shirley, the feisty and

There certainly is plenty to be excited about because the school has placed a real emphasis on bringing the community into the production as volunteers and helpers as well as inviting grade seven and eight students from NDHS feeder schools in Havelock, Norwood and Hastings to participate.

“It’s really nice because the whole school is getting involved,” says Irwin, noting that construction classes will work on prop building, the art class will immerse itself in set design and teachers like guidance head Todd Murray are working backstage.

“There’s lots of opportunity to be involved with backstage, lighting, front of house, marketing,” she says.

And of course there is a large, committed cast of over 20 which does include elementary students.

A committee that included community members selected the play in September following a series of meetings; the intention is to enhance the arts at the school and encourage people from outside of NDHS to be part of this renaissance.

“We had a little focus group and this is nice Canadian music which is what we wanted to start out. We wanted to do something Canadian and this is what came out on top,” said Irwin.

The play also gels nicely with the talent pool within the school, she says.

“For us, we have a very strong female talent,” she said, adding that they were pleasantly surprised at the number of boys who came out to auditions.

“So we wanted something that was

not only Canadian but would also fit our students a little more.”

They also wanted an easily recognizable play that would attract people from the community to the school during its April 10-12 run.

Things have gone well from the very first rehearsal, says Irwin, which was really designed as a “fun night of games and team building.”

“It got everybody comfortable with everybody else,” she said. That was important because there are quite a few grade nine and ten students in the show.

“We really want to focus on the arts at the school,” Murray, who is the backstage manager, said. “We find that a lot of grade nines and tens are into the arts and lean towards Please see “Stage” on page B11

Good times guaranteed when Alan Jackson hits stage

By Bill Freeman

Entertainment - Havelock- They don’t come any bigger than Alan Jackson.

With two Grammy Awards, 16 Country Music Awards, 35 number one hits and 60 million albums sold, the Georgia native is a giant of a music star and Havelock Country Jamboree fans will get to bask in his “good time” vibe when he hits the stage August 15 as part of the twenty-fifth anniversary festival.

Jackson’s appearance comes on the heels of last year’s dynamic program that included Trace Adkins, Reba McEntire and Wynonna Judd and Martina McBride’s killer show in 2012.

Jackson is one of the most respected singer songwriters in the music industry and is in the lofty company of John Lennon and Paul McCartney as one of the few musicians to have written and recorded more than 20 songs that have shot to the top of the charts.

He is one of the top ten selling artists since the inception of Sound Scan and can rub shoulders quite comfortably with musicians as diverse as Eminem and head-banging Platinum recording artist Suzy Bogguss will apMetallica.

His work has been recognized by his musical peers with pear at the twenty-fifth annual Havelock Country Jamboree in August. induction into the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2011 and the prestigious ASCAP Founders Award.

JFK remembered at Trenton High School 50 years after death

By Kate Everson

Events - Quinte West – Who killed JFK? And why?

These questions still haunt historians who never satisfactorily resolved the details surrounding the 35th president’s assassination in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963.

“The assassination was well organized,” concluded Trenton High School grade 12 student Sean Walsh-Barber. He was looking at a display at the school

on November 22 put on by retired teacher Duncan Armstrong.

“There is still more to discover.”

At exactly 1 p.m. Dallas time, 2 p.m. our time, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was pronounced dead.

Duncan Armstrong pointed to the clock in the room.

“This was the exact time of death, 50 years ago,” he said.

Armstrong has collected JFK books, magazines, newspaper clippings and articles since the 1980s. He has several hundred in

his collection, including an amateur film taken of the fatal shot.

He asked the students who came into the room throughout the day to analyze and ask questions themselves. Was there just one shooter?

Why did he kill Kennedy?

The film brings more questions to light, including the angle of shots, the man with the umbrella up, the incapacity of the guards after drinking all night, the speed of the car, and more.

“Kennedy was well liked by

the masses,” Armstrong said. “He knew how to control the media, but he was very young to be president. Industry didn’t like being told what to do by a young buck.”

He said the Warren Commission put out a report to prove that one person, Lee Harvey Oswald, was the sole shooter and acted alone. But questions and conspiracy theories have been ongoing for 50 years.

Where were you when you heard Kennedy had been shot? Armstrong said he was just getting off the school bus in his home town in Nova Scotia.

“I was totally shocked,” he said.

“There was fear too. There was the Russians and the Cuban missile crisis.”

He said people began thinking more about the details of the assassination as years went by and Martin Luther King was shot and Robert Kennedy was killed.

“People starting asking questions,” he said. “Then there was Watergate and that put the icing on the cake. Blind faith was out the window.”

Armstrong went to Dallas in 1985 to see for himself the place where Kennedy was shot. Now there is a museum on the site.

“It was a precision military operation,” he says. “An inside job. The old guard, industrialists, U.S. Steel. Kennedy was trying to stop the Vietnam War. He also sided with the blacks.”

Kennedy had already served one term as president and was kicking off his campaign for his second term by going to Dallas. He arrived by plane with his wife Jacqueline at his side. The open car was an easy mark. There were three shots from a bolt action rifle, one missed, the next one hit and the third took his head off. The film reveals it all to clearly.

“JFK felt very safe,” Armstrong said.

“There wasn’t even a secret service man on his side of the car when the shots went off. Why not? There was a sniper on the sixth floor. Why didn’t he shoot dead-on instead of letting the car turn at the overpass?”

He said the first shot was deflected and hit someone along the road in the face. The second shot hit Kennedy in the throat and Conley got hit. Kennedy was killed in the third shot and declared dead in the hospital soon after.

“Why did the gunmen do it?” he asks.

“If it was Oswald’s need to be famous then why did he flea? There are a series of issues; civil rights, war. Why is the interesting question.”

Anti-bullying message is there every day

By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood – Bullying awareness is much more than a one-week campaign at Norwood District High School, says the school’s student council.

Last week was dedicated to anti-bullying across the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board and NDHS used the opportunity creatively by combining the campaign with a full-out spirit week that included the traditional pink shirt day on Wednesday; there was also a pajama day to “put bullying to bed, ”a black clothing day to “black out” bullying, an injury day that encouraged students to wear colourful band-aids to illustrate that “words hurt even though you can’t see them” and a sports sweater day to show people that students are team players and good sports.

“We put a creative spin on it this year,” student council president Shannen Nickle said. “Normally we only have the one day; it was nice to have the whole week.”

“The message we want to put out is that the school is bully-free,” Shannen said, “and even though it is bully-free there’s always improvements that can be made.”

The important thing, she added, is that the message is there every day and not just during a dedicated campaign week.

“Just because we’ve got special events this week doesn’t mean it’s not present every day. Each student council member makes sure that message gets out to each student.”

Shannen says there’s a “good atmosphere” at NDHS. “There’s a lot of participation in everything that goes on. Not only does it show that they care, it shows that they are doing it all the time.”

Student council members made a concerted effort to get the school’s newest and youngest students in grade nine involved and feeling comfortable about life at NDHS, Shannen says. That starts even before they arrive at the high school but really kicks in during the grade nine information night and official welcome day.

“The grade nines are really into it (and) everybody feels pretty comfortable as far as we know and they know that they can talk to us; we are always

available and they know who we are.

We are here for them to talk to as well as any of the senior students.”

The NDHS student council is already looking ahead to the Day of Pink on April 10 which is the international day against bullying. They plan to show the powerful, moving and award-winning documentary “Bully,” directed by Sundance and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Lee Hirsch and the inspiration behind The Bully Project, a social action campaign against bullying.

“We want to incorporate that into the international day,” says Shannen, noting that bullying is not just a teen thing; it can happen anywhere to anyone, kids and adults alike.

The NDHS student council is a busy and active group and Shannen says she and her peers are happy in what they do.

“We’re really productive. We have a great group. I love coming to meetings because everybody’s so into it; everybody always has something to say which is nice (and) we always have new stuff coming on.”

The Norwood District High student council led bullying awareness events at the school last week.

News - The effects of the catastrophic Typhoon Haiyan are still being felt in the central Philippines, but locally, a group of musicians are banding together in an attempt to help raise funds for the ongoing relief effort.

Quinte Unites! A Benefit Concert for the Philippines is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2013 at 7 p.m. at Eastminster United Church in Belleville, and church administrator Peter Kerr said the response has been amazing from musicians looking to add their talents to the fundraising concert.

“The response has been overwhelming, we’ve had to tell people they can’t play because we have too many acts,” Kerr said.

Initially approached by Prince Edward County musician Jeanette Arsenault about the possibility of hosting a concert, Kerr said the church was quick to jump on board. Now, roughly 25 musical acts have agreed to donate their talents to the concert.

“It’s something where there’s a lot of people interested in finding ways to help, and it’s just one way to get the community together to do that,” Kerr said.

Admission is by voluntary donation, and 100 per cent of funds raised will be given to the ACT Alliance, a coalition of more than 140 churches and religious organizations that work to provide assistance to impoverished peoples. All donations are tax deductible, and the Canadian government has agreed to match all donations by Canadians up until December 9.

The church has room for roughly 370 people, and Kerr said it will be first come, first serve. Doors open at 6 p.m.

“I actually think it probably will fill up,” Kerr said.

By John Campbell

ingâ&#x20AC;? which notes â&#x20AC;&#x153;postal banking systems are proliferating around the worldâ&#x20AC;? and Canada â&#x20AC;&#x153;has a long history of delivering financial servicesâ&#x20AC;? through its postal system.

Banking fees and credit card rates are among the highest in the world, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a decline in branch banking with the rise of ATMs, Internet and telephone banking, the study said. It pointed out the country had a postal savings system for more than a century and it listed the many advantages to having Canada Post once again offer financial services. For example, 60 per cent of its almost 6,400 postal outlets are in rural areas â&#x20AC;&#x153;where there are fewer banks and credit unions,â&#x20AC;? and many outlets have, or could have, longer operating hours than banks.

The CUPW is trying to drum up support to have the federal government consider allowing Canada Post to add financial services like bill payments, insurance and banking, when it reviews the corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charter next year.

The union says Canada Post â&#x20AC;&#x153;has already dramatically cut service by closing or downsizing public post offices, eliminating rural mailbox delivery and removing street letter collection boxesâ&#x20AC;? and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;campaigningâ&#x20AC;? for more â&#x20AC;&#x153;major service cuts.â&#x20AC;?

CUPW favours improving the charter in a number of ways, such as ensuring a moratorium be placed on closing post offices in small and rural communities, establishing a Canada Post ombudsperson, and putting in place a democratic process that includes consultation with the public and other stakeholders before any changes are made to the postal and delivery network, including closures, downsizing and the removal of rural mailboxes.

Members of Trent Hills council recognized the fate of Canada Post is of concern in rural Canada but they were not prepared to back the union when the issue came up for discussion last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any appetite for increasing infrastructure and adding extra costs to what we have now,â&#x20AC;? Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan said. But if something were brought down the road that â&#x20AC;&#x153;looks more viable than I do agree there are some services there that they probably could add (that) could help finance the postal services.â&#x20AC;?

Kelleher-MacLennan said she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;tornâ&#x20AC;? by the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I agree with it in principle but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see more of the meat of the matter of what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at putting in place. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see something ... (like) Hydro One which hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t saved us any money in my opinion. If anything I think we pay more.â&#x20AC;?

There are â&#x20AC;&#x153;a couple of good nuggetsâ&#x20AC;? in the study but â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m totally convinced yet,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Deputy-mayor Bob Crate said he found the idea of postal banking â&#x20AC;&#x153;very intriguingâ&#x20AC;? because it â&#x20AC;&#x153;might be a way to save the small post offices and it would also be a boon to the residents because a lot of these places there is no bankingâ&#x20AC;? or itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provided only a couple days of week, as in Warkworth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Imagine a little competition for the banks,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Hector Macmillan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do like the idea of the service being delivered to remote parts of our community where there are no banks or thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s limited banking.â&#x20AC;?

In the end council voted to file the letter from CUPW.

Pond Hockey tournament to raise funds for TMH Events - Batawa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The third annual Pond Hockey Classic tournament to take place on January 17 and 18 will raise funds for the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation and the Military Families Fund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a true community event,â&#x20AC;? said Captain Jeff Moorhouse, event coordinator and Lions president, at the Batawa Lions Community Rink.

As well as two days of outdoor hockey involving 32 teams, there will be a Roots of Hockey dinner on January 18 at the National Air Force Museum of Canada. Special guests will include Just for Laughs comedian Dave Hemstad and Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous hockey dad Walter Gretzky.

He said this year the event will raise funds for the local hospital and for military

families. He noted that John Smylie is chair of the TMH Foundation as well as Honourary Colonel of the 436 Squadron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to give back to our community,â&#x20AC;? he added.

Wendy Warner, executive director of the TMH Foundation, said it is an honour to work with the base. She noted that SARtechs have helped out in their emergency room and she looks forward to supporting the base.

Julie Lange from Scotiabank Trenton and Diane Gaffney from ScotiaMcLeod said they are thrilled to be involved as sponsors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have a team in there,â&#x20AC;? smiled Lange.

Gaffney added they will have a CBC camera crew on site to get great exposure for this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hockey Day in Canada.â&#x20AC;?

Heather Candler, general manager of Batawa Development Corporation, said Batawa has a legacy supporting the military that goes back to 1939. She added that Batawa will have the first all female team entering the tournament.

“It’s reaching other people around the world”

The grade eights made presentations to all classes in the school about Operation Christmas Child and what could and could not be put in individual boxes. It was part of their grade eight world and media studies and the students were marked on their work. The Havelock gift boxes were transported to the local collection depot at Norwood Pentecostal Church and then transferred to Peterborough and shipped to Waterloo.

News - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen When Jane Lester watches grade eight students at Havelock Belmont Public School collect Operation Christmas Child gift boxes, her heart is filled with joy and gratitude.

Lester, of Havelock United Church, has been involved in Operation Christmas Child for nearly five years but took on a bigger role this year because area coordinator Ilona Bennett was at Sick Kids Hospital with her son Cole. Last week, she helped oversee

the local collection day at Norwood Pentecostal Church where over 250 shoe boxes filled with child-friendly toys, hygiene items, school supplies and others gifts were gathered up and transported to Peterborough.

“It’s just reaching out to other people around the world, giving to others and helping someone in need,” she said while helping with the deadline collection last week. Lester was hopeful that they could push the total over the 300 mark.

It truly was a community effort with

shoeboxes coming not only from HBPS but Roseneath Centennial Public School and churches from around the area including Havelock, Norwood, Cordova Mines, Campbellford and Lakefield.

Even the 20th Peterborough Guides dropped off boxes.

Lester is particularly pleased to see how Operation Christmas Child has grown in Havelock-BelmontMethuen in recent years.

The efforts of young teens in Brenda Leeming’s grade eight class stand out, she says.

“It’s wonderful (and) they’re using that as part of their curriculum. Those young teens are presenting to classrooms, to the little ones, and we get people thinking like that very early.”

The shoe boxes are packed specifically for girls and boys and can include school supplies, personal hygiene items, toys and other gifts as well as a personal note: everything from tee-shirts and socks to stuffed animals, crayons and individually wrapped hard candy.

Items that could scare or harm a child are prohibited, things like war-related toys, knives and toy guns.

Operation Christmas Child is run by Samaritan’s Purse Canada, a non-

denominational evangelical Christian organization that has been providing spiritual and physical aid to needy people around the world since 1970.

Operation Christmas Child started in 1990 and was adopted by Samaritan’s Purse in 1993.

Last year, Canadians donated 662,312 shoeboxes to children around the globe.

In 2013, Canadian gift boxes will be shipped to Costa Rica, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

“It’s an opportunity to reflect on life in Canada,” says Lester. “We have everything here. The boxes contain things we take for granted. Out of this we also talk about the need in our own communities. That is another thing to look at also.”

“These children have never received a present or thought they’d ever get a present. This may be the only present they get in their lifetime; just the experience of opening a gift and not knowing what’s inside,” said Lester.

“It’s touching the life of Melissa Taylor, a leader with the 20th Peterborough Guides, dropped off a child thousands of miles Operation Christmas Child boxes at Norwood Pentecostal Church during away. That’s pretty neat.” international collection week. Photo: Bill Freeman

Annual toy and food drive getting bigger every year

Close to 200 students from Hillcrest, Kent and St. Mary elementary schools stopped by the Campbellford Community Resource Centre last week to help fill Santa’s sleigh for the annual Campbellford Wish Toy and Food Drive organized by Trent Hills Fire Department and Community Living Campbellford/Brighton.

News - Trent Hills – How’s this for out of the ordinary? Kids paying Santa a visit to drop off presents.

That’s right, they give Santa gifts – to distribute to families who are feeling the pinch this winter.

But, really, it’s not that unusual in Trent Hills. Firefighters and Community Living Campbellford/Brighton have been making it happen for years, and last week they had close to 200 kids from Hillcrest, Kent and St. Mary elementary schools drop by to fill Santa’s sleigh, said Dawn Lee, Community Living’s director of quality enhancement and community development.

“This is the best turnout we’ve had ever,” added Nancy Brown, the agency’s

Get

executive director. “Every year it continues to grow. The kids really enjoy coming, (and) the teachers are really supportive.”

She said the generosity of the children and their families “is very much appreciated” in making what has become a community event so successful.

Their help “does make a difference.”

She said Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake has been “a real driving force” in helping the Christmas Wish Toy and Food Drive get better each year.

Close to 100 families were helped in 2012, “probably the highest we ever had,” Blake said.

Teachers at the local schools compile lists of students whose families are in need of toys and food, and anything left

over is donated to the Salvation Army to hand out, Lee said.

“We’re looking at, hopefully, expanding to all the Trent Hills schools,” and include Hastings and Percy Centennial,” Blake said.

The 2013 toy and food drive kicked off with a new event, a motorcycle ride held in September, which was “a very big success,” yielding 55 toys and about $700, Blake said.

He was approached by John McEvoy and Murray Kirkland about holding a bike ride toy drive between the municipality’s three fire halls and the village of Trent River. Sixty-five people took par in the hour-long ride which finished at Campbellford where a barbecue was held The event gave the food and toy drive early “momentum ... and that makes a big difference,” Brown said.

The same day the schoolchildren dropped by the resource centre, Nov. 19, boxes were delivered to various locations in the community where the public can drop off donations.

Samantha Mills, a Grade 3 teacher at Kent Public School, said her school dedicates a week of activities to raising funds for Christmas presents.

Families are nominated by teachers for assistance or they may come forward and “say they need a little extra this year,” she said.

“Most years we’re looking at close to 15 to 20 families,” Mills said. “We’ve got lots of thank you letters, they just appreciate it so much.”

People will be able to leave toys and food in the boxes until Dec. 12. On that day firefighters will go around to

collect the donated goods to take to the Campbellford fire hall where teachers with lists will pick up the items their students have asked Santa to give them.

“It’s just wonderful that all the youth of our community have come out to help support other families who could use a little hand up,” said Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, who was the first to drop off presents in Santa’s sleigh at the Campbellford Community Resource Centre. “It’s something Sandy (his wife) and I really enjoy participating in every year and I’m just glad that there’s so many others in our community that are willing to do it and enjoy doing it. It’s heart-warming. There will be a lot of happy faces on Christmas day.”

Celebrating the good in us all at CHSS

By Diane Sherman

News – Madoc - Students of Centre Hastings Secondary School gathered in the gym Thursday to hear Nick Foley’s animated presentation of Celebrate the Hero, part of his lecture series promoting positive personal growth and compassion for others.

The week of November 17 to 23 was Bully Awareness and Prevention Week, a busy week for Foley as he presented his program at a number of schools in the

region.

It was also a week geared to learning about bullying for students of CHSS. Central Hastings OPP Constable Alana Deubel gave several sessions on social media/ cyber bullying and student leaders attended a student wellness and bully prevention training session at the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board office November 20.

Foley, who was raised locally,

left his profession as a teacher to dedicate his life to encouraging others to “accept yourself and others for who and what we are.”

Speaking from his own experiences of being “picked on and bullied” and relating a time he had been the bully, he encouraged students to “celebrate their differences” and “don’t be afraid to make mistakes.”

“Think of how you want to be remembered, and make the changes today. Put value into

Two scams under investigation

by OPP Northumberland - Police are investigating two scams brought to their attention November 22.

A female resident in Alnwick-Haldimand Township reported she had received a call from someone who offered assistance with her computer’s Microsoft Windows operating system.

She gave remote access to her computer but when the caller asked for $200, she realized she could be the victim of the fraud and shut down the machine. She subsequently cancelled all her credit cards and was not out any money, Northumberland OPP said in a news release.

In the second instance, a female resident in Hamilton Township reported receiving two Mystery Shopper cheques. She called the number provide and was instructed to shop at local businesses. She deposited one cheque for $2,000 but was later notified by her bank that it had been placed on hold because it was part of a scam. She then contacted the OPP. Both targets of the scam have been in contact with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
