News – Asphodel-Norwood – Township council has approved its 2014 water and wastewater budgets and given its okay to a consumption billing formula that will kick off the Norwood system’s phased-in entry into the world of water meters. A public meeting has been set for January 15 at the Norwood Town Hall to explain to system users how the consumption billing process works. The bills will evolve over the next three years, moving from a first-year ratio of 75 per cent base rate and 25 per cent consumption, to a 50-50 split and a 2575 split in year three. One of the goals of the Norwood water and wastewater system is that it “must cover all the costs from users with a combination of fixed (base) and variable (consumption) rates,” says Chief Administrative Officer Joe van Koeverden. There are 785 water system users in Norwood and 665 sewer system users. In the first year, the base sewer rate will be $35.85 per unit with a consumption rate of 70 cents per cubic meter. Currently users pay a flat rate of $41.50 for wastewater. Where there is one meter servicing several units the total cost per cubic meter will be billed to the property owner, says township treasurer Melanie Stubbs. “The typical household with a consumption volume of 12 cubic meters will pay $44.37 a month,” says Stubbs. The 75-25 ratio has “less emphasis on conservation of water” and more on the increase from the 2013 flat rate to the new rate, she explained. In January, 2015 the ratio moves to a 50-50 split, beginning to decrease the base rate and increasing the consumption rate. The rate will not be determined until the 2015 annual budget is approved, Stubbs stressed. In year three, the base rate drops to 25 per cent and the consumption portion of the bill jumps to 75 per cent. “Higher water users will pay more if their consumption stays the same as in previous years,” said Stubbs. On the water side, the base rate in 2014 will be $24.23 per unit with a consumption rate of 49 cents per cubic meter. Stubbs says that a “typical

Fundraising Festival of Trees raises $2,800 for Hillcrest school

By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - The Festival of Trees returned to Hillcrest Public School after a one-year hiatus, raising $2,800. The theme was “A Timeless Christmas”. This festive event, which has a ﬁve-year history of fundraising, took place Wednesday, December 11 and Thursday, December 12. “One of the highlights of the festival was the annual Hillcrest Christmas concert which was held from 6-7 p.m. both nights,” said Lori Godden, a member of the school council and one of the organizers who volunteered to make this happen along with Ellie Larcombe and council chair Emily Bertrand. The school choir performed on both nights too. Students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 participated in the festival with musical performances, singing as well as a mix of some instrumental pieces Please see “Metered water rates explained” page 2 and small group performances.

“It’s a community event to involve community kids, parents, teachers, and it’s a fundraising effort,” said Godden. There were ten Christmas trees that were decorated for the festival, all donated by Campbellford Canadian Tire. “A shipment of trees was sent to the school and placed in stands and different individuals and businesses decorated each one in a unique and different way,” Godden explained. “For example the local Kinettes, Campbellford Veterinary Services, Rene’s Total Home Comfort and the Nicholson Brothers (Concrete, Excavating & Landscape Supplies) supplied all their own decorations that were put on their tree.” Tickets were sold the nights of the festival at a cost of $1 each. “People were able to buy as many tickets as they wanted and they put them in the box beside each tree that they wanted to win in the rafﬂe,” said Godden.

Draws for the ten winners took place on Thursday evening. On Friday everyone came by to take home their very special tree they had won. “If the winners were not there they were contacted the next day,” Godden noted. There was also an extensive silent auction, a bake sale and door prizes. Trees were located throughout the school while in the gymnasium the concerts took place. The bake sale was in the library. Hillcrest school principal Constance Hodson explained, “All proceeds go towards School Council initiatives which include playground structures and maintenance, busing for ﬁeld trips, and program supports.” For students such as Cooper Larcombe, Grade 5 and Philip Jeffs, Grade 6, who were on hand for the ofﬁcial announcement of the festival’s return, it means “we get to enjoy the Please see “Fundraising” page 2 R0012463485

Ontario Fire Marshal Offers Tips to Protect Your Family While the holiday season is a great time to cook and decorate with family and friends, it is also a time to pay extra attention to fire safety. Here is a list of 10 fire prevention tips from the Ontario Fire Marshal’s 12 Days of Holiday Fire Safety campaign that will help keep you safe during the holidays: 1. Keep space heaters at least three feet away from anything that can burn. 2. Stay in the kitchen when cooking, especially when using oil or cooking at high temperatures. 3. Make sure you have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Smoke alarms should be on every storey and outside all sleeping areas of your home. 4. Check and throw away old and damaged lights before decorating. 5. Keep the base of your Christmas tree in water at all times, and keep it away from fireplaces, heaters and candles. 6. Keep candles away from children and pets and always remember to blow them out before leaving a room.

“We can all do our part to ensure a fire-free holiday season by following a few simple tips, such as keeping Christmas trees away from ignition sources and putting out candles before leaving the house. Adopting simple precautions can protect you and your family and help you have a safe and happy Holiday Season.” ~ Madeleine Meilleur Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services “It’s a tragic reality that in many of Ontario’s fatal fires, the victims had working smoke alarms but did not have a home escape plan. For that early warning of fire, install smoke alarms. To ensure everyone knows what to do when the smoke alarms activate, develop a home escape plan and practice it with the entire family so that everyone can safely escape. Get out and stay out. Never re-enter a burning building.” ~ Tadeusz (Ted) Wieclawek Ontario Fire Marshal and Chief, Emergency Management Quick Facts ✔ The top five causes of fires in December are from heating equipment, unattended cooking, electrical distribution equipment, cigarettes and appliances. ✔ Last December, there were 60 injuries and eight fatalities related to home fires in the province. ✔ Last year, there were either no smoke alarms or the alarms were not working in 35 per cent of preventable fires.

banks, Rev. Millar noted. “The numbers are deﬁnitely higher than last year. We had between 25 and 26 last year now it’s up to 32 to 33 every time we open up.” Foodbanks are the one business he would like to see shutter its doors because of lack of demand but that is sadly far from the reality; something Rev. Millar has watched closely since becoming involved in the local foodbank in 1989.

News – Trent Hills – The consolidated fees bylaw recently approved by council contains a few increases. Users of the municipality’s arenas and community halls will be glad to learn there’s been no change in their fees but youth soccer clubs will pay a dollar more in a capital use fee, which has been increased to $3 a game. “The intention of the capital use fee is not to cover operating costs, it’s to cover replacement costs,” community services ofﬁcer Scott Rose said. The money goes into reserves that will be used later to address “normal wear and

tear” on facilities and equipment, such as a riding mower or soccer nets. “At three dollars it takes awhile to add up (enough money to pay for) ... a $10,000 machine, he said, and goal nets have to be replaced about every six years. “We’re not here to make money on our facilities,” he added. “What we want to do is try to cover a large portion of our operating costs, and one of those costs is we have to replace or upgrade equipment.” The municipality maintains six soccer ﬁelds in Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth. The fee wasn’t increased

“What was a stopgap measure at the beginning has become entrenched and needed more than ever. It’s probably going to be needed more than ever in the near future,” he said. “Unfortunately, I can see the needs of the foodbank going up in 2014. I don’t like to say that, and I hope I’m wrong, but that is going to be very much the reality of our foodbank. We’re going to be needed ever more.”

nity’s needy families. “It makes the after-school kids feel good and they’re happy to do it,” said Hucklebug’s Marlene Nelson. The donations were from Hucklebug families and the after-school children decorated the boxes and personally presented the material to foodbank coordinator the Reverend Roger Millar. “It’s a great way for the kids to understand the thought of giving, especially at this time of year,” said Nelson. “Hopefully it is something they’ll learn and carry on as adults.” This is the fourth year for the Hucklebug foodbank donation. Rev. Millar was touched by the gesture. “It’s a busy time of the year but a good time of the year because it seems like people open up their hearts a little bit more to help the foodbank,” he said. “The needs do go up at Christmas.” The foodbank gives out Christmas hampers to foodbank clients and Rev. Millar estimates that they will distribute between 50 and 60 hampers this year. He says there’s “a bit of confusion” about who qualiﬁes for the hampers and stressed that only registered foodbank clients are eligible. “We’d love to be able to give food to everybody but we just don’t have the resources.” It remains a challenging time for food-

“to accommodate a new purchase or something coming up,” Rose said. “Our overview of the operations of those facilities (is that) three dollars is the required amount (to provide a) steady, consistent level of service,” through the replacement of “larger cost items.” The capital use fee for arenas will remain unchanged at $6 an hour. “Where you can make an argument that there’s a specific person benefitting only, that’s where you typically implement a user fee, recognizing that in some cases like recreation you have to really bear in mind (people’s) ability to pay and not pricing them to the point where (they) can’t afford to play in sports,” Chief Administrative Officer Mike Rutter said. “There were very limited increases, (where it was) appropriate.” Non-resident groups renting ice at local arenas will no longer pay a $25 per hour premium. Higher fees include an extra $100 for driveway entrance permits (to $200) and $50 more for road occupancy permits ($100). Building department administration fees are also going up by $50, to between $150 and $200, but it will charge an additional $100 for inspection of new septic systems ($600). The minimum seasonal rate for boats docked at the Hastings Village Marina where services are provided was set at $950, a $100 increase, but the $5 fee for use of the launch ramp has been removed.

Mayor reminds premier about HBM long-term care plan By Bill Freeman

“I’m doing my part.” 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 geared-to-income senior’s

apartments. A day-care centre and other “integrated community opportunities” are being considered as part of the proposal. HBM 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

News - Havelock – Havelock-BelmontMethuen Mayor Ron Gerow had a respectful and “quiet” talk with Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne during a special anniversary celebration for Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal and reminded her of the township’s long-term care facility plan. “I certainly let her know that this was very much a hot topic for discussion in our community and a major consideration for council,” Gerow said of the tête-á-tête. The meeting occurred during a gathering held to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Leal’s election to Queen’s Park 10% Seniors as Peterborough’s provincial MPP.

News – Campbellford – On December 25, Campbellford Baptist Church will host a community Christmas dinner for the 10th year in a row at its hall, the ﬂame of benevolent goodwill glowing bright as ever in the hearts of its volunteers. The church served 35 people the ﬁrst year the free dinner was held; last year “we had close to a hundred,” organizer Thea Dunk said, and another “really good turnout” is expected later this month. She and her husband Bruce are the only ones still involved from the original handful of church members who began offering the dinner, at the suggestion of Maureen Robinson, who thought the church should do something because there are “so many people alone at Christmas,” Dunk said. The group has grown to 10 people who take part in preparing and serving the meal of turkey

and ham, vegetables and pies, while another crew handles the cleanup afterward. “We’ve got a good group of helpers,” and the people who come “are just so grateful,” Dunk said. “We get great satisfaction from it.” Getting everything ready is “quite a challenge, but we really enjoy it.” Her husband begins cooking the turkeys at 9 in the morning and the other volunteers show up around 1 p.m. to prepare the meal and set the tables for dinner at 5. People start arriving around 4 p.m. for punch and snacks. The evening ends with the playing of Christmas carols and diners singing along. Dunk speaks in awe of the show of support the church has received from local businesses and restaurants, who “have been so generous.” Signs are posted in restaurants – none of which is open Christ-

Too many people visiting hospital emergency rooms for dental issues

By Bill Freeman

News - Peterborough County – The number of Peterborough County and city residents who head to the hospital emergency room for dental issues is 65 per cent higher than the provincial average. That troubling and expensive fact, revealed during a recent visit to HavelockBelmont-Methuen council by Sarah Tanner, supervisor of the County-City Health Unit’s oral health program, is laid out in the organization’s 2013 oral health status report. It’s a statistic that concerns officials at both the health unit and Peterborough

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE FOR DECEMBER 25 AND 26, 2013

Regional Health Centre. Young adults, 20 to 29, account for most of the dental visits to the PRHC emergency department. The ER sees an average of 1,024 people a year with dental problems. “It’s disturbing to see this increased strain on our emergency hospital services, but more importantly, it tells us we have a problem with many residents possibly suffering unnecessarily and turning to the Emergency Department for urgent help,” says medical officer of health Dr. Rosana Pellizzari. Dr. Pellizzari says one-third of local residents don’t have dental insurance. “Over half of our seniors don’t have dental insurance and only 65 per cent of young adults are covered,” she says. “This report confirms what public health and social service agencies see on a daily basis that the lack of affordable dental care is contributing to poorer overall health in our community.” Oral diseases are mostly preventable, says Dr. Pellizzari, but

once such conditions develop they impose significant direct and indirect costs on individuals as well as society. For instance, in 2009 it is estimated that approximately 40 million hours of school and work were lost in Canada due to dental conditions. Along with compromising overall health, poor oral health can “severely affect one’s quality of life by causing considerable pain and discomfort as well as interfering with normal activities such as social interactions, work and school tasks,” says the health unit. “Children who experience dental decay early in life are shown to lag behind others in terms of growth and learning abilities,” says the health unit. Abscesses and toothaches were the most common reason for visits to ER, the report found. It also notes that approximately three-quarters of junior kindergarten students are cavity free; that in 2009-10, 75 per cent of Peterborough residents had visited a dentist and that one in six Peterborough residents have had

a tooth removed in the past 12 months and in more than half the cases the extraction was due to gum disease or decay. It also notes that the most common reason for not visiting a dentist in the past three years is cost. One in five residents visit a dentist only for emergency care. The health unit will continue to “promote and support policies and provisions for continued access to optimally fluoridated community drinking water.” It will also continue to “remove barriers to accessing dental services” including the operation of its dental mobile van clinic and community dental health centre. It will also “work in partnership with community champions to maintain the emergency dental fund and develop health promotional materials and increase the profile of oral health importance in Peterborough.” The health unit provides dental screening at local schools and provides information to parents about programs available to provide urgent dental care.

Practical wife, easy life By Terry Bush Editorial - As I see the hustle and bustle of Christmas all around me, I can’t help but feel I get off pretty easy every year. Christmas shopping is now a breeze and that’s mainly thanks to my practical wife. As the Netherlanders in my family have mentioned many times, I’m Dutch by marriage. When Adriana and Cornelius Van Leeuwen arrived in Canada with three little kids in tow, they didn’t have a thimble let alone the proverbial pot to...well, you know the rest of that mildly profane saying. They were practical and frugal and that way of thinking was thoroughly embedded in their children’s psyches. Family mattered most and when little Marianneke came along as the first child born in Canada, she was cut from the same cloth. I have the opposite problem that most people have. I never know what to get my wife for Christmas because she doesn’t give a hoot about presents. Family matters, presents don’t. I try to be sly about it every December, making sure I have all the sales flyers neatly piled when she sits down to browse them on Saturday mornings. I watch patiently as she goes through them one by one and when she finishes, I say, “So, did you see anything you liked this week?” ... my subtle way of probing her mind for something, anything that can be wrapped and placed under the tree. Usually I get nowhere fast using this approach and she doesn’t realize what I’m up to until I shake my fist at her. So, this year I came right out and asked her, “What do you want for Christmas?” Not that I anticipated getting a sufficient answer. I never do and this year was no different. “Oh, just to get together with family would be great.” It’s pretty hard to wrap up the family and put them under one’s tree. Just to wrap up her six-foot tall brother would defeat the purpose of saving a few bucks with a practical gift. It would take three rolls of wrapping paper to cover his middle now that he’s retired. He’s over 60 too so we’ll have to cut him a little slack. The old metabolism isn’t what it used to be and most of us over 50 can attest to that. Lately we’ve been setting a $25 limit on Christmas gifts but usually one of us tends to go a little overboard. Two years ago, Mare went over the limit and my offerings looked pretty lame by comparison. Last year I got my revenge by spending ten times the limit on a present she would never ask for or buy herself, but loved nonetheless. And this year, we’re doing what we usually do. All I want for Christmas is another trip and she wants the same thing. We’ve become totally predictable in that respect. We go out for supper maybe once a year. We don’t take any weekend vacations, because we love where we live. We spend money on the necessities and not much on anything else. So when all is said and done, we probably spend what a normal person would during the course of a year except we spend it all at once to further our educations. Trouble is, once again, the promise of a trip is pretty hard to wrap so it’s a gift that does have its drawbacks. What if the trip doesn’t take place for another six months? What if someone gets sick and can’t go? That would make it a pretty lame Christmas present. But like I said, I have a very practical wife who’s easily satisfied. She did marry me after all. And after almost 29 years of marriage, there’s always one present that puts a Christmas smile on Mare’s face and it doesn’t cost me a dime. I gave it to her on Saturday night when I usually watch Hockey Night in Canada. It’s been in the planning stage for weeks. As we sat by the fire in front of the television, I pretended to show my generous side, telling Mare to watch whatever she wanted. I’d be happy to watch the last two periods of the hockey game that usually puts her to sleep. I’d already programmed the television for 8 p.m. but didn’t say a word. When the channel changed automatically, she said nothing but 40 seconds later her eyes got wide and she smiled from ear to ear. “Rudoff,” she squealed as she reverted to her six-year-old self. I chuckled as I headed off to check my email listening to her sing along with Burl Ives. Hearing her excited child-like voice joining in on every song, I couldn’t resist anymore and sat down to watch it with her. “That’s not very nice,” she scolded as the other reindeer wouldn’t let Rudolf join in. “What do you mean, this is no place for women,” she glared at Rudolf’s father, the way she does every year. And of course she had to call her 90-year-old mother on Sunday morning to tell her all about Rudolf the RedNosed Reindeer. It was officially Christmas at our place. We have three Christmas gatherings lined up and as an added bonus, Mare mentioned that her pillow was getting a little flat. One gift buy and none to wrap. Merry Christmas to me.

12 Years a Slave to play at Aron Theatre go to downtown Campbellford to see it.” The film will be shown from December 20 to 24. Brad Pitt, the superstar actor and producer who helped finance the film said, “If I never get to participate in a film again, this is it for me.” Rolling Stone Magazine film critic, Peter Travers, wrote, “You won’t be able to tuck this powder keg in the corner of your mind and forget it. What we have here is a blistering, brilliant, straight-up classic.” The film’s director, well-known actor

Steve McQueen explained, “It’s a narrative about today. It’s not a black movie. It’s an American movie. It’s a narrative about human respect, more than anything.” “The Aron is our community’s theatre. Inside its walls, we are visually transported to other worlds and experiences” said Christianson. “On December 20, the Aron will be opening up the world of the American south during the slave trade. It will not be an easy ride. It will be unforgettable.” There will also be some holiday fun af-

ter the film has been shown. “After seeing 12 Years a Slave, we will all be ready for something fun and light,” stated Christianson. On December 27, Disney’s wonderful animated movie, “Frozen” (rated G) begins. It will play at the usual 7:30 p.m. time until December 30, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, December 29. The Aron’s Christmas present to its community is a series of eight family film classes starting on Christmas day. All eight will be “pay what you can”

Entertainment – Campbellford – There is a lot of buzz about “12 Years a Slave.” Film awards around the globe are nominating it for best picture, best actor, best actress, best director, and other prizes,” said Russ Christianson, founding president of the Aron Theatre Co-operative. At the Toronto Film Festival this fall, people lined up for four hours to see the premiere of the film and they chose it for their People’s Choice Award, he stated in a press release. “On December 20, you will only have to

Council to stick By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – Township council will stick with its Monday meeting schedule. “It works for me right now,” said Councillor Jim Martin during a discussion of the 2014 schedule which follows the current practice of 9 a.m., 4. p.m. and 7 p.m. meetings for the first three Mondays of the month. “It’s based on what we’ve had in the past,” said clerk Glen Girven. “It’s up to council (but) it’s working the way it is.” Before adopting the variable schedule, HBM council had held its regular meetings twice a month on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. “I like the evening meetings (but) I’ve adjusted to the time frame,” said Martin. Martin added that the new council elected next October could revisit the schedule if it wished. He did worry that a daytime meeting schedule might be a deterrent to someone considering a run for council. “That’s for the next council to worry about,” he said of the time of day. “I’ve adjusted too,” added councillor Larry Ellis who noted that the 4 p.m. meeting could be disruptive to the day. Councillor Barry Pomeroy said he preferred morning meetings “because we’ve got the staff here.” Mayor Ron Gerow recalled that the rationale for the three different times was to “more to accommodate the general public. “At the beginning there seemed to be an interest from groups; that has waned greatly,” said Gerow. It was also thought that cottagers would find the Monday meetings easier to attend than the Tuesday sessions. Gerow agreed that the 4 p.m. meeting can “(mess) up the day.” He didn’t think that a full schedule of daytime meetings would be too inconveniencing to the general public because not too many members of the public attend meetings anyway. Mayor Gerow praised the clerk and CAO’s office for crafting a schedule and setting agendas that were manageable and allowed councillors to work their way through business “in a timely way. “That can be difficult,” he said of preparing a workable agenda. “It’s a circus trying to do that (with) all of the business we have to deal with.” He noted that in the past councils had trouble getting through business with double the number of meetings over a month. “We’ve made headway here,” Gerow said. “It’s important as a member of council that we take the time to discuss the issues that are important to us or the community. I’m not here to try to rush things,” he said. “Could we change it and make it better? Probably, but we’re trying to accommodate schedules. “If it’s important to (people) they will be there no matter what the time of day,” added Pomeroy. Council could discuss the meeting schedule again in the New Year, said Martin.

Young leader lauded, honoured during concert

By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – Daniel Benjamin is something of a time management star but more importantly he has a “service heart” and it was for that that the young Havelock native and Norwood District High student was presented with the Christian Service Award during the annual Havelock-Belmont-Methuen community concert last week.

“One of the most important things in life is using our talents to serve or encourage others”

our church and involved in the community. It’s always been a pleasure to work with him; he’s willing, I’ve never, ever heard him complain and he’s always asking to do something and always willing to be there. ”He does have a service heart,” Rev. Estabrooks said. The Russells said that Daniel was well-known in both Norwood and Havelock “for his numerous and various activities. Daniel Benjamin, 14, was presented with the Havelock Christian Ministerial Association’s Christian Service Award from Reverend David Wainwright dur“One of the most important things ing the annual Havelock Community Carol Sing last week at Havelock-Trent River United Church. Photo: Bill Freeman in life is using our talents to serve or encourage others,” the Russells said, “(and) Daniel is a wonderful example of that.” It is incredible that he finds time to do all of the things he sets out to do, they added. And he certainly is busy: From involvement with his own church to performing in the Westben Theatre chorus and teaming up with his brother Luke to perform at the Warkworth United Church Christmas supper as well as entertaining children at the Hucklebug Childcare Centre, Daniel has a very full plate of volunteer activities. Then there are his high school studies and helping his father with the 1st Havelock Scouts. “Daniel is an industrious, responsible teen who doesn’t waste his time,” said the Russells. “He is a polite young man and a real asset to our community…He has a quick smile and a willing, helping hand.” “It is one of those pleasurable moments of serving the Lord,” Rev. Estabrooks said of watching Daniel receive the service award.

After a year of not presenting the award, the Havelock Christian Ministerial Association was thrilled to honour the 14-year-old Havelock Baptist Church member. It was exceptionally apropos given that Havelock Baptist hosted this year’s concert at Havelock-Trent River United Church. “He has a heart to help people,” Reverend David Estabrooks of Havelock Baptist Church said of the young congregant who received the award from retired Anglican minister the Reverend David Wainwright who read the nomination letter from Alan and Linda Russell in his inimitable style. “It was pleasing to see,” Rev. Estabrooks said.

bellford took on the role of dollars to four different groups. The largest gift, $15,000, went to News – Campbellford – Santa Claus this week and The Rotary Club of Camp- handed out thousands of the “hospital component” of Flourish, the Trent Hills wellness campaign, President Jim Ashman announced Monday night. He noted many organizations have been asked to contribute to the campaign, a joint effort of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation, the Municipality of Trent Hills and the Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation to raise $7 million over five years in support of various projects they are undertaking individually. “Well, here is our first contribution,” Ashman said, adding the club’s executive “will consider additional funding (in future) as time and circumstance permit.” Kim Hulsman, director of youth programs for the Rotary Club of CampbellThe hospital foundation is looking ford, presented a cheque for $1,000 to Abby Pearson, representing Kent to raise the most money, $4 million, Public School’s Me to We group, which is raising $5,000 for construction of a for the purchase of essential medical well in Sierra Leone. Photo: John Campbell equipment. Rotary also donated $2,500 to Westben Arts Festival Theatre, $1,000 to the Me to We group at Kent Public School, and $500 to the Fare Share Food Bank that serves Campbellford and Warkworth. Ashman said the Kent students are committed to raising $5,000 for construction of a well in Sierra Leone. “As most of you know Rotary throughout the world has made great strides in its attempt to eradicate polio, and “one of the great sources” of the disease is contaminated water, he John Bennett, CEO of Westben, middle, accepted a cheque for $2,500 from said. “So the work of the Me to We Marion Fennell, president-elect of the Rotary Club of Campbellford, and group in Campbellford is in direct Rotarian Steve Sharpe, whose grocery store sells Nevada tickets in support support of Rotary’s overall objecof the theatre.

Rotary usually contributes $300 to the food bank, topping up the money it collects during the Santa Claus parade, in addition to donations of food it receives. However, a change in policy this year – organizers worried other groups would ask to be given the same opportunity to solicit funds – The Rotary Club of Campbellford announced Monday it was donating led Rotary’s board of directors to de$15,000 to the Flourish wellness campaign, for the purchase of equipment cide “a straight contribution from the at Campbellford Memorial Hospital.

The money is raised through the sale of Nevada tickets at Sharpe’s Food Market. Ashman remarked at the end of the presentations that the Rotary Club of Campbellford “has not given a single cent to any of the organizations. What we have done is organize money donated to us and redirected it to valuable organizations within our community.” He thanked the people of Trent Hills “for what they’ve done (and) their faith in our decision-making capability.”

Shoppers express dismay on Liquidation World closure Retail store to close after U.S.-based owner pulls out of Canadian market

News – Campbellford — Carollee Tompkins of Marmora is one the hundreds of shoppers who chose to make purchases at Liquidation World in Campbellford. News that the store will be closing took her by surprise. “It’s crazy,” she said. “I shop here a lot. The discounts are good.”

A resident of Marmora she drives to Liquidation World in Campbellford, the closest outlet for her to get to. “I will miss everything about this store, their cleaners, the dog foods, their sales in general,” she commented. “I don’t think it’s good that all the people here will be out of work.” David McGrayne of Campbellford

Warkworth Legion ties to veterans at Sunnybrook grows stronger By John Campbell

News – Warkworth – A special bond has formed between Royal Canadian Legion Branch 380 and residents of Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Canada’s largest veterans’ care facility. Every year just before Christmas a small group of Warkworth Legion members, led by past-president Roger Brummell, head to Toronto to visit some of the 500 veterans from the Second World War and Korean War who live there.

They go there to chat and to present the veterans with a bag of sundry items, including toiletries, chocolates and, in recent years, lap quilts made by the Happy Quilters. “It means the world to them, not so much as what’s in the bag but just that they’re still remembered,” Brummell said. It also means “quite a bit” to Brummell, who gets “a little emotional” talking about veterans and the Legion’s role in supporting them. Looking after their welfare is “our primary re-

sponsibility.” The first year, 2001, the Legion helped about 20 residents at Sunnybrook – “what we could accommodate,” Brummell said. Since then the Legion has expanded its efforts to help the veterans and their number has grown to 60. Included in this year’s bags for the first time were Christmas cards made by the Warkworth Brownies. “We always given regular cards but this is so much nicer,” Brummell said. Members of the Warkworth Legion travelled to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre December 12 to deliver gift bags to 60 veterans living in the George Hees wing. In the bags were Christmas cards made by 21 Warkworth Brownies.

News – Hastings – Shoppers tired of elbowing people at jam-packed malls found the Hastings Legion’s “Last Chance Craft Sale” an oasis of calm and variety. The third annual event attracted 21 vendors and will certainly expand again next year, says Legion Branch 106 manager Vicky Seeney. “It’s a community event,” Seeney said noting that the popular “passport,” designed to encourage shoppers to visit participating stores in town will be back next year. “It has been very successful, people are coming even though there are other craft shows on today,” she said. As for the vendors, she says “you don’t even have to ask them, they just come.” Last year they had vendors set up in the downstairs club room. That didn’t happen this year but Seeney has a feeling they will use that space again next year. “We can expand it. We can invite more vendors.”

For the 2014 show, she says they will begin to contact prospective artisans in September so they can mark the Hastings show on their busy Christmas calendars. Saturday’s show included at least ﬁve new vendors and that, says, Seeney, is an indication that the event is considered worth the effort. Seeney is also very interested in seeing the upstairs hall used as an indoor farmer’s market, perhaps on a monthly basis. The summertime Hastings Village Market across the street from Branch 106 is a very successful venture and Seeney feels an indoor facsimile of the market would be popular. “This space is not being utilized (as Theo Van Will shows off his candy cane snowman at the third-annual Last much as it could be) and that is one of Chance Craft Show and Bazaar at the Hastings Legion. Photo: Bill Freeman the things we’re looking into. I think it would really go over well.” Indoor farmers markets at other locations are successful, she noted. It would be another way of drawing visitors Windows, Doors, Siding, Soffit, Fascia, to town during the slower winter months Garage Doors, Steel Roof & More and could beneﬁt other businesses in the For the “Do It Yourself” customer we’ll assist you with village.

News – Hastings – They are perhaps not as eye-catching as the latest hi-tech, noisy gadget, but books still have the power to entertain and capture the imagination of the growing minds of young children. And they last forever, delighting and challenging minds no matter how many times a single book has been read; its wellthumbed pages revealing secret worlds with every reading. “Reading books that are interesting, engaging and ageappropriate can be a great way for adults and children to spend quality time together,” says Leisa Baker a public health nurse with the Peterborough County-City Health Unit. “For a low-tech item, books can be high-impact when it comes to improving children’s communication skills and nurturing their love of reading,” says Baker. Angie Nestoruk, early childhood specialist at the Ontario Early Years Centre in Hastings, agrees. “That’s why we gave books out today, to promote literacy and to get them started reading,” Nestoruk said of the Early Years Centre’s Christmas party visit with Santa Claus. Reading aloud to children is crucial, says Nestoruk, it’s a bonding time between parents and children as well as being entertaining, enjoyable and always educational. “It’s important for all ages,” she says. “Books are a nice gift and there are special Christmas books and board books for babies. At the Early Years Centre we’re always happy to share information about books with parents and caregivers.” At this time of year, families create their own traditions around special books which quickly become favourite titles. “If we went around this room we’d find that everyone’s got their favourite,” she said. “There are movies out but there’s nothing like sitting with your child on your lap and sharing a book, those are precious moments.” Baker says that one in ten Ontario pre-school aged children has a communication delay. “Reading with a child can head off potential problems since it stimulates speech and language development as adults share new words and meanings.” Those reading sessions with your children are the “essential building blocks” to school success. Baker has some simple advice for people buying books for young children at Christmas time: “Be sure it’s age-appropriate and something that your child will want to pick up and read.” For youngsters dreaming of hi-tech gadgets, Baker says families could consider an electronic book reader that will continue to encourage reading. And if families want to avoid the cost of buying brand new books, local libraries and Early Years Centres are welcoming places to visit. Having a youngster sign up for their first library card is a liberating experience, says Baker. “It can give them independence and ownership to what they want to read as well as introduce them to a world of books that’s available at their fingertips.” For more information and tips on helping your child develop language and communications skills you can visit two very good websites: www.kidstalk.on.ca or www.readingrockets. org

247 Country Rd. 40 Ph: 705-639-2187 www.npchurch.ca The Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, December 19, 2013 17

First flu cases of the season reported News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Trent Hills - With the ďŹ rst cases of inďŹ&#x201A;uenza conďŹ rmed in the region, local health ofďŹ cials are asking people to take precautions to avoid bringing ďŹ&#x201A;u home for the holidays. The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit is reporting the ďŹ rst three lab-conďŹ rmed cases of inďŹ&#x201A;uenza for the 2013-14 ďŹ&#x201A;u season in its area, which includes the City of Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland County and Haliburton County. The three inďŹ&#x201A;uenza cases, all conďŹ rmed by lab results, were detected in the City of Kawartha Lakes. The three cases are all adults, none of whom received a ďŹ&#x201A;u shot this year. According to information received by the Health Unit, all three individuals are recovering from their illness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flu season is ofďŹ cially here, so we encourage local residents to take precautions and protect themselves and their loved ones from becoming sick,â&#x20AC;? stated Linda McCarey, the director of communicable disease control with the HKPR District Health Unit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reducing the risk of becoming sick from inďŹ&#x201A;uenza is especially important at this time of year when we come together with family and friends to

celebrate the holidays,â&#x20AC;? she said in a press release. McCarey noted the conďŹ rmation of inďŹ&#x201A;uenza is no surprise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Typically we see inďŹ&#x201A;uenza cases around this time of year, and we expect to see more cases in the coming days and weeks,â&#x20AC;? she stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While these are the ďŹ rst ďŹ&#x201A;u cases in the area, there have also been inďŹ&#x201A;uenza cases and outbreaks conďŹ rmed throughout the province this ďŹ&#x201A;u season.â&#x20AC;? Through the end of November, there have been 126 lab-conďŹ rmed inďŹ&#x201A;uenza cases reported in Ontario, according to Public Health Ontario (www. publichealthontario.ca). In a given year, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care estimates seasonal inďŹ&#x201A;uenza can result in up to 1,000 hospitalizations and up to 1,600 deaths in the province. InďŹ&#x201A;uenza virus spreads mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing. People can become infected by touching objects or surfaces with ďŹ&#x201A;u viruses on them and then touching their eyes, mouth or nose. Flu symptoms include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, headache, muscle aches and extreme

weakness and fatigue. The best way to prevent becoming ill with the ďŹ&#x201A;u is to get the ďŹ&#x201A;u shot every year, McCarey says. While the Health Unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community clinics are now over, there are other ways for local residents to get a free ďŹ&#x201A;u shot. People can check with their health care provider about getting a ďŹ&#x201A;u shot for anyone six months of age and older. Many pharmacies in the area are also providing ďŹ&#x201A;u shots to everyone ďŹ ve years of age and older. For a full list of local pharmacies offering ďŹ&#x201A;u shots, visit the Health Unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website (www.hkpr.on.ca). To further stop the spread of ďŹ&#x201A;u, the Health Unit recommends people wash their hands thoroughly and often, sneeze and cough into their sleeves and stay home from work and holiday parties if they are sick. Eating well, getting sufďŹ cient sleep and being physically active on a regular basis also helps keep the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immune system strong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spread the ďŹ&#x201A;u this holiday season,â&#x20AC;? McCary says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is one gift your family and friends deďŹ nitely do not want to receive.â&#x20AC;?

Christmas window winner

It was another tough choice for Asphodel-Norwood Beautification Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas window judges this year but in the end the appraising nod went to Audrey Weatherupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festively decorated display at her bulk food store on County Road 45. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a lot more effort this year,â&#x20AC;? judge and committee member Jennifer McKelvie said of the 15 entrants in the business window display competition. This is the third year the committee has held a Christmas window display contest. Honourable mentions were given to Creation 7 and Meljesnic Computers.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Warkworth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Staff at Trent Hills now have a good idea â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many, actually â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of what the community wants included in an addition to be built onto the Warkworth arena. They were given dozens of suggestions last week at a public meeting organized by Percy ward councillors Kim McNeil and Meirion Jones. They included setting aside space for the 7 Hills Community Pantry food bank, storage, large and small meetings, youth activities, day care and after-school programs, college courses, bingo, and exercise classes. 7 Hills treasurer Martin Hare said the food bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current space â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not adequate (and), unfortunately, this is not a shrinking business.â&#x20AC;? There were also suggestions made to provide a banquet hall with a fully equipped kitchen that the Abundance Project could use, an office for social services, dressing rooms, and lockers. David Pollack spoke in favour of creating a â&#x20AC;&#x153;community hubâ&#x20AC;? that would offer â&#x20AC;&#x153;a diversity of eventsâ&#x20AC;? that would draw people from outside Warkworth. Former council member Dean Peters offered the same sentiment, saying the place has to be unique and special to â&#x20AC;&#x153;capture the imaginationâ&#x20AC;? of people in neighbouring communities so that it brings people, ideas, money and energy into the community. His suggestions included installing a

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Campbellford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Local residents are jumping at the chance of becoming an angel, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it by making donations to the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation. Slightly more than three weeks after launching its Be An Angel mail-out campaign, the foundation had raised almost $54,000, executive director John Russell said last week at a special event to thank donors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re well on our way,â&#x20AC;? to raising $145,000 needed for the purchase of an anesthetic machine, to replace one currently in use thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 23 years old, Russell said. And the amount had grown to nearly $58,000 as of Monday, he said. The campaign will continue until the

ation master plan put together shortly after Trent Hills was formed concluded the municipality â&#x20AC;&#x153;had an oversupply of iceâ&#x20AC;? and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need three arenas. A structural analysis determined they were â&#x20AC;&#x153;functionally obsolete,â&#x20AC;? which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean â&#x20AC;&#x153;they were unsafe or that they should be abandoned or condemned,â&#x20AC;? Rutter said, but that â&#x20AC;&#x153;they really needed significant investmentâ&#x20AC;? in order to continue using them. Another study proposed a recreation and wellness centre be built in Campbellford and a field house in Hastings, to replace that villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arena. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until Friends of the Warkworth Arena began pushing for something to be done at the Warkworth arena right away that the municipality turned its attention to its facility, Rutter said. As a result of their lobbying, the municipality has spent more than $500,000 at the Warkworth arena to bring it up to â&#x20AC;&#x153;todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standards, for the most part.â&#x20AC;? Rutter said the plan was to upgrade the second floor warm room and make it fully accessible but â&#x20AC;&#x153;that was always considered to be the next phase (and) really it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the horizon.â&#x20AC;? The Friends suggested building an addition instead and offered to assist in paying for the project, which the municipality agreed to include with the recreation and wellness centre and field house as part of the Flourish campaign. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a joint effort with the community and hospital foundations to raise $7 million over five years in support of projects the three partners are undertaking. Rutter said the ideas presented that evening will give staff â&#x20AC;&#x153;a good senseâ&#x20AC;? of what the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs are before a detailed design is obtained early in the new year, when another meeting will be held to present it. He welcomed Brenda Partridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion the municipality engage the public school in the process of finding out what the community wants to see in an addition. The 70-minute meeting had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;tremendously helpfulâ&#x20AC;? for him and the other staff members who attended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gives us a real good start,â&#x20AC;? Rutter said.

HBPS wins $500 with food drive effort By Bill Freeman

News – Havelock-BelmontMethuen – Havelock-Belmont Public School received $500 from the Farm Credit Corporation for its energetic food drive that collected over 500 pounds of donations for the local food bank as part of the FCC’s annual Drive Away Hunger campaign. Jennifer Dorland of the FCC’s Frankford ofﬁce and Justin Coffey from Kingston visited the school last week to present the $500 to senior kindergarten students Alexis Newman and Rachel Pink. HBPS won a random draw that included all participating schools from the area; Jenny Pink’s senior kindergarten-grade one class also received a pizza lunch for collecting the largest amount of food in the school. This is the second year HBPS has participated in the Drive Away

Hunger campaign, says Pink. Their goal this year was to collect 50 bags of food; when it was ﬁnished they’d reached almost 60 bags and over 500 pounds. Her class brought in over 100 cans of food alone. “The food drive was kind of our kick off to the school year as well as the equity and diversity campaign,” Pink said. She and educational assistant Terry Williamson organized the diversity and equity campaign. It was also a good way to showcase student pride during the school’s 50th anniversary year, Pink says. It was appropriate that they collected over 50 bags and 500 pounds of food during the 50th year. “We’re really happy to reach our goal and win some money too,” Pink said. The $500 will be used on a beautiﬁcation project, she said. “Nothing has been decided. We

also want it to represent our 50th year.” They have a few ideas “bouncing around,” Williamson added. “Maybe we’ll put it to a vote. We want something that’s going to last another 50 years,” she said. The school was “recognizing that there is a need for food in the community,” said Pink. Her students, the youngest in the school, learned valuable lessons about giving to help others and “that not everyone has food. “The kids really went with it and were very excited about the pizza party.” This year’s tenth anniversary Drive Away Hunger campaign collected 6.5 million tons of food across Canada and 1.92 million tons in Ontario,” says Dorland, a customer service representative with the FCC’s Frankford ofﬁce. The 6.5 million pounds represent-

ed a 108 per cent increase over 2012. “It’s a unique food drive that involves driving a tractor and trailer through communities each October to collect food and cash donations for food banks across the country,” said Dorland. “We also work with various partners like Havelock Belmont Public School who help spread the message and raise funds for the cause.” Since 2004, the FCC has collected over 17 million pounds of food. In Ontario, more than 412,000 people use food banks every month, and 39 per cent of users are children. There are more than 400 community food banks and 1,000 afﬁliated agencies such as soup kitchens and shelters in Ontario. Also, 114 food banks serve rural clients. Drive Away Hunger is on of Food Banks Canada’s top ten food drives, says Katharine Schmidt, executive director of Food Banks Canada.

Think twice before giving pets as holiday gifts

* The activities in the household may pose safety hazards for the young animal. An abundance of rich foods and various decorations could be ingested, potentially causing illness. * New pets should be carefully supervised around children to see how they behave. A child may not be accustomed to handling a puppy or kitten and could injure the animal. Similarly, the pet may be skittish and lash out at the child. Adults busy with holiday obligations may be easily distracted and miss how their child is interacting with the new pet.

Presqu'ile Animal Hospital

Animal welfare groups warn that an estimated 50 percent of pets adopted during the holidays end up right back at shelters. This can scar the pet. Avoid the temptation of giving a companion animal as a present. If it is your intention to gift an animal, talk to the gift recipient and discuss the pros and cons beforehand. Then you can work together and make the right decision for all parties involved, including the pet.

* Holiday visitors may frighten the new pet and he or she may become weary of strangers at the outset.

Reputable pet breeders and animal shelters often discourage individuals from adopting or purchasing pets as holiday gifts. Many organizations and animal businesses require a careful vetting of potential pet parents to ensure the animal will be placed with a family and in a home that is suitable.

R0012475021

Though it often is, buying a pet should not be an impulse purchase. You see sad eyes looking back at you from behind a cage door and want to give that animal a new home. However, introducing an animal into a family is not a decision to take lightly. You must factor how well the pet will fit in with the family dynamic. Do schedules allow for quality time spent with the animal? Is it a financially good time to care for an animal that will cost money? Are you aware of how long the pet will live? Making those big decisions for a person on the receiving end of your well-intentioned gift may be crossing a line. Would you want to have such a lifechanging decision made for you?

The hectic nature of the holiday season can be a difficult time for a pet to grow acclimated to its new environment. He or she may be frightened to assimilate or take longer to settle down. Pets often need several weeks of quiet and constant care to become comfortable in their new environments. Here are some other reasons why the holidays are not a good time for new pets.

* Once the glow of the holidays wear off, children may be disillusioned with the new responsibility that has fallen into their hands. They may not like the responsibility that comes with being a good pet owner.

Giving a pet as a present seems like a great idea, but shoppers might want to give it more consideration before giving a gift that is such a considerable responsibility. A puppy at Christmas or a bunny at Easter may be given with good intentions, but that well-meaning sentiment can easily backfire, ending with the pet being given up for adoption when recipients don’t feel up to the task of raising a pet. In such instances, the companion animal pays the steepest price.

Furthermore, the holiday season is not one ideally suited for making careful decisions. People are often swept up in emotions and even stress, and shoppers may not be thinking rationally.

R0012476095

Many people consider pets great holiday gifts. But in spite of their popularity as presents, pets do not always make the most appropriate holiday gift.

Vipers give top-ranked Blast hard battle

Stewart Motors Vipers gave but were not quite good enough to beat Sports – Asphodel-Nor- the top-ranked Brantford the high-ﬂying visitors, falling 6-4 in wood – The Norwood J.J. Blast all they could handle Allan Cup Hockey Senior AAA action on a cold, snowy Sunday night in Norwood. The biggest winner on the night, beside the Blast (9-1-0-1), was the Norwood Lions Club’s toy drive which tallied 120 stuffed animals tossed onto the ice after Colin Baker scored at the 3:31 mark of the second period to cut the Brantford lead to 2-1. Fans also threw balloons on the ice and for each balloon Vipers owner Bob McCleery would make a donation to the local food bank. During the second intermission 15 fans had a chance to win Christmas turkeys and hams during an entertaining frozen turkey toss that also got some help from Vipers players Claydon Edwards, Mike Hanna and Justin McConnell. The big, bruising Blast took a 2-0 lead into the second period on goals by Chad Spurr and Andrew Larkner before Baker, from ACH scoring leader Darren Doherty and rookie Levi George, broke Anthony Marshall’s shutout. A pair of goals by Mike Ruberto midway through the frame made it 4-1. Mark Prentice, getting his legs back Jennifer McCleery, trainer for the Norwood J.J.

Rebels to thank hockey fans with Christmas at the Rink this Saturday John Campbell

Sports – Campbellford – The Campbellford Rebels will hold their ﬁrst Christmas at the Rink Night this Saturday – weather permitting. The Empire B Junior C Hockey League team had its home game against the Amherstview Jets cancelled because of the heavy snowfall that blanketed Southern Ontario December 14. No date has been set for the game to be played but team president Jim Peeling expressed hope

it would take place sometime during the Christmas break. He said this Saturday’s event is to thank the many loyal fans who have supported the team through the ﬁrst 24 games of the season. “The crowds have been pretty good,” Peeling said. Attendance at its lowest has been around 110 “but we’re closer to 150” on most nights. There will be numerous prizes up for grabs, provided by Tim Hortons, with the

price of admission. There will also be a draw for cash prizes of $1,000, $500, $300 and $200. The game against the Port Hope Panthers starts at 7:30 p.m. Campbellford currently sits in fourth place in the league, but still has hopes of leapfrogging the Panthers and Amherstview Jets who are tied for second, seven points ahead of the Rebels. No one’s going to catch the Picton Pirates who are far ahead of the pack, with just two losses in 27 games. Peeling said he is “extremely pleased” with the two players the team got in a recent trade with the Pirates in return for Steven Clarke, the league’s highest scoring defenceman with 37 points. Blueliners Reilly McGuire, 20, and Brad Jacklin, 19, “are very physical players” who are defensively-minded. Their addition raised the average age of the Rebels’ roster to just over 18. With over half the schedule played, Campbellford will look to solidify its hold on a playoff spot and move up in the top four to avoid meeting the Pirates in a ﬁrst round best-of-seven series.

Atom Hornets show Christmas spirit at community dinner

Bantam Hornets snag three more wins By Bill Freeman

Sports – Asphodel-Norwood – The Norwood Bantam Hornets hockey team added three more league wins to their record last weekend, outscoring their opposition 7-1. Norwood edged the Bancroft Jets 4-1 and then travelled to Loyalist Township where they grounded the Amherstview Jets 1-0 then dug down deep for a 2-0 shutout win back at home over the Frontenac Flyers. Coach Greg Hartwick is happy to see the trend of high-scoring games slowing down and the strong play of a line-up depleted by injuries. At home against the Jets, Norwood got two goals from Dawson Turcotte and singles from Hayden Baptie and

Nolan Beamish with two assists each from Nathan Dunn and Baptie and single helpers from Beamish, Turcotte, Gavin Woodburn and Owen Hubert. Against Amherstview, Isaac Dart was perfect in net picking up his sixth shutout of the season. The Hornets suited up seven skaters for the game. The lone goal was scored by Turcotte at the 4:59 mark of the second period, with assists going to Beamish and Owen Jordan. Back at home against the Flyers, Baptie notched a pair of goals with two assists from Beamish and one from Eric Sicker. Jake Krabbe was impossible to beat and earned the shutout. Norwood is on the road for two games this weekend.

NHL Alumni tour visits Belleville

Sports – Belleville – It may not have been the McSorley-Gretzky combo hockey fans remember, but at Yardmen Arena Friday night at least one Gretzky took to the ice alongside Wayne’s old bodyguard when the NHL Alumni Tour in support of the Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run came to Belleville. It was a light-hearted atmosphere at the arena come game time, and to help kick off the opening puck drop a member of the Belleville Police Service rappelled down from the rafters with an honourary puck in hand for guest coach Walter Gretzky, Police Chief Cory McMullan and Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis. Once the game started, guest referee and former Toronto Maple Leaf Dave Hutchinson took over the microphone, giving a play-by-play account and appealing to the crowd as the NHL alumni battled a team of local law enforcement all-stars. While some of the older stars such as Marty McSorley, former Montreal Canadien Mike Napier and former Toronto Maple Leaf Bill Derlago took it easy for most of the game, a couple of the younger guys clearly were looking to put on a show.

Long-time NHLer Matthew Barnaby saw his 16-year career come to an early end after struggling with symptoms of a concussion in 2007, and on Friday night he pulled out a full bag of stick handling tricks in his assault on the law enforcement net. Former Belleville Bull Brent Gretzky also looked to have some swagger in his step as he joyfully took part in odd-man rushes, and former Maple Leafs sniper Rick Vaive was as deadly accurate as ever. Vaive became the ﬁrst Toronto Maple Leaf in history to score 50 goals in a season, in the 1981-1982 campaign. Other former NHLers to take part Friday night included former Maple Leaf goaltender Mark Laforest, three-time Stanley Cup winner with the Edmonton Oilers Mike Krushelnyski and 18-year NHL veteran Dave Reid. Each winter, the NHL Alumni tour visits roughly 30 communities across Ontario, supporting a variety of different local charities and organizations. In Belleville Friday night, proceeds from the game will support the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Ontario, which is a community based, provincewide event that sees the “Flame of Hope” carried Three-time Stanley Cup winner with the Edmonton Oilers Mike Krushelnyski (left) and former Edmonton Oiler Marty McSorley Please see “NHL” on page B4 celebrate after a goal during the NHL Alumni game.

Lifestyles - Campbellford A naturopathic perspective on the health of seniors was the topic of a presentation by Dr. Andrea Bull, guest speaker at a recent meeting of the Age Well Network (AWN) of Trent Hills. “Most seniors that visit a naturopathic doctor are either brought in by a family member or they are not having any success with conventional medicine approaches,” said Dr. Bull. “Usually it is due to poor diet, poor lifestyle, overmedication or they are on so many meds they don’t want to take another medication for the symptoms they are having,” she added. Before talking about the modalities she offers Dr. Bull did say there seems to be a lot of “misinformation out there” about her profession. “We are trained similar to medical doctors. We can do the same physical exams, lab testing, MRIs and more,” she said. She noted that “a lot of the things we do can interact with pharmaceuticals so we study pharmacology.” She uses homeopathic medicine as one of the tools in her medicine chest “trying to match symptoms to a remedy.” Homeopathic medicines don’t interact with any pharmaceuticals at all, “so they are nice to use with elderly people who are on meds.” Dr. Bull recommended use of a website (www.drugs. com) where people can input their medications and find out if they might have any drug interactions. She also utilizes acupuncture and Chinese herbs in her treatments as needed. “The key to naturopathic medicine is we are always trying to get to the root cause so you don’t have to keep taking

Dr. Andrea Bull, a naturopathic doctor in Campbellford, was the guest speaker at a recent meeting of the Age Well Network of Trent Hills. Doreen Sharpe, the Network’s co-chair, points to a list of ingredients of “shakes” on the market today as presented in a chart. Dr. Bull talked about diet and nutrition among other topics during her presentation. Photo: Sue Dickens

medications all the time,” she explained. “Diet and nutrition are often somewhat of an easy fix in most but in the elderly population there can be many obstacles. Mobility, access, and cost can all be issues regarding healthy dietary choices,” she noted. “I don’t charge astronomical amounts,” she added. “Usually in most people the main obstacle is themselves. They need to fix their diet or make lifestyle changes.” Dr. Bull did take to task the nutritional shakes that are on the market today. “Has anyone looked at those ingredients? . . . You might as well have a chocolate bar and a multivitamin,” she said, after quizzing the AWN members if they could identify the shakes after seeing the ingredients. She also pointed out that a lot of people are struggling with inflammatory conditions and oils and sugars just help to promote that cycle to con-

tinue the pain and infection. “I talk to them about overmedication too as well as exercise. A lot of the solution is diet and nutrition.” Not only can seniors benefit from her diagnosis and treatments, but so can “full-time working moms” who are trying to do everything at home. “It’s about the amount of demands your body has to meet in a day, the physiological stress . . . a lot of people don’t realize they are stressed,” she said. Her talk focused on diet/ nutrition, lifestyle and overmedication. Dr. Bull completed the Naturopathic Medical Program from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2006 and after moving back home to Trent Hills with her family in 2012, she eventually decided to start her own clinic called Your Family Naturopath which is located in Campbellford.

Emerald Ash Borer gaining ground in Ontario and create public awareness.” Jim Alyea asked what were the implications of ﬁnding it on a woodlot. Ewa said as of April 1 all of Southern Ontario would be a regulated area. “Don’t panic,” she said. Alyea said he has a lot of white ash on his land and the cost of injection would be too much. Ewa agreed it is not feasible for woodlot owners to inject all their ash trees. Alyea commented that in the ‘50s there was Dutch

Elm disease which killed a lot of elm trees. “The elm started to come back again, then it would die again,” he said. “I’m surprised it grew.” Ewa said the disease was in the environment and trees would grow up to 20 metres before they showed Ewa Bednarczuk talks to the LTC board about the spread of emerald ash borer in Ontario. Photo: Kate Everson symptoms. She said the emerald ash borer insecticide is made from a nut of a tropical tree in India. CAO Glenda Rodgers suggested Ewa make presentations at local municipal councils to make people aware.

News - Quinte West – Ewa Bednarczuk, ecology and stewardship specialist, made a presentation to the Lower Trent Conservation board December 12 on Preparing for the Emerald Ash Borer. “This is an ecological disaster,” she said, describing how the tiny iridescent beetle creates tunnels in the bark of ash trees, cutting off food and water so the tree dies. “The first symptoms are that the top of the tree dies first,” she added. She noted that ash is an important timber for use in flooring and other things. The emerald ash borer probably arrived in Canada on a wooden pallet overseas and is spread in firewood. She urged people to buy wood locally and burn it on the site. “Become informed,” she said. “Consider tree removal or injections. Call the hotline for the MNR.” She said there is no doubt the invasive species is coming soon to a woodlot near you. “Roseneath has confirmed it this year,” she said. “Ash trees will die.” She urged municipalities to become proactive. Take a tree inventory, map the ash trees, their size and health. Look for signs of the emerald ash borer, its larvae in the bark. Plant trees to replace the ash with a mix of natural species. Protect important shade trees in parks and tourist destinations with injections of insecticide TreeAzin. Consider removing heavily infected trees. The cost for treatment is $5 to $7 per centimetre, so a tree could cost $250 to $350 to treat over two years. Removal could cost $1,200 to dig out the stump and replace the tree. “It’s cheaper to remove the ash if it’s not completely infected,” she said. Municipalities also have to prepare a disposal facility and plan how to process the trees, either in woodchips or pellets. Ewa said public awareness is important and there should be a webpage and social media as well as workshops and a hotline. “So far there have been no great infestations in our area,” she said. “We have the advantage of time, some warning. We can have plans in place

NHL Alumni tour visits Belleville

Former Maple Leafs sniper Rick Vaive was true to form, wowing the crowd with several laser beam shots to the top shelf. Former Chicago Blackhawk Matthew Barnaby put on a show with a number of stick-handling tricks. Continued from B1

across Ontario by members of Law Enforcement agencies from across the province. More than $42 million was raised worldwide in 2012 as part of the torch run, and in Ontario the run has contributed over $19 million since the first event in 1986. Funds from the

torch run are used to raise funds and public awareness for Special Olympics Ontario, to involve Law Enforcement personnel in a community-based, province-wide programs and to set up community partnerships with sponsors, Special Olympics volunteers and local supporters who all have a desire to help athletes.

*It’s recommended that everyone wear a helmet for safety reasons*

News – Northumberland – Northumberland OPP report area residents are being asked to provide personal information and to send money to people saying they are acting on behalf of the federal government. A person identifying himself as Kingsley Adams stated in a letter to one resident that a family member had recently died and he wanted to send money to the person. He asked for financial information to carry out the transfer of funds. In another attempt at fraud, supposedly from FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada), a letter concerned a petition against the federal government which asked for names, addresses and phone numbers of anyone who signed it. “It is ALWAYS in your best interest to not give anyone personal information about yourself or your family as well as any financial information,” police said in a news release. The OPP advise anyone who is asked to provide information by an apparent fraudster to call the Canadian Anti-fraud Centre, 1-888-495-8501.

Antwerp shines bright like a diamond Antwerp shines bright like a diamond

Lifestyles - Belgium’s Antwerp is a major diamond centre and has played a very signiﬁcant role in the diamond industry since the 15th century. Today, its diamond district trades about 85% of the world’s rough diamonds, 50% of cut diamonds, and 40% of industrial diamonds. Antwerp is said to have the “best diamond cutters in the world” – and the highest international mark of approval for a polished diamond is the “Cut in Antwerp” label. After the skilled craftsmanship has been completed in this Belgian city, the diamonds are exported worldwide. I visited Antwerp’s diamond district, which is located right in the heart of the city, in what’s often referred to as the “Diamond Square Mile”. The area has a plethora of diamond shops, diamond brokers, diamond cutters, diamond polishers,

diamond exchanges, special diamond banks, and diamond companies. Diamonds rule here! As I wandered through the Diamond Square Mile, I noticed that there were many Hasidic Jews working here, primarily men with long black curls and donned in the traditional long black coat and hat. I even observed one sitting on a bicycle, right in front of a bank, and making what I presumed was a business call relating to diamonds. After all, I learned that it was Hasidic Jews who, many years ago, had set up the Diamond Club of Antwerp, the city’s ﬁrst trading exchange that dealt mainly with the wholesaling of cut stones. I visited both this exchange and the Antwerp Diamond Ring (“Antwerpsche Diamantkring”), which was the ﬁrst trade exchange that was set up here to deal exclusively with rough, uncut diamonds. In addition to these diamond exchanges, I also checked

Antwerp’s cathedral-like Central Station.

out Diamondland, Antwerp’s largest diamond show room, where I could watch craftsmen at work. I soon learned that diamond quality is determined by “the four Cs”: the diamond’s cut, colour, clarity, and carat. The larger, clearer, and whiter the gemstone, the more valuable it is. The Antwerp Diamond Jeweler Association (ADJA) has been created to protect the jewelry buyer, guaranteeing the quality. Therefore, it’s best to shop at stores recommended by the ADJA, for the diamonds will be genuine in these establishments. Some of these diamond sellers have even teamed up with certain Antwerp hotels – and offer a free night’s stay for romantic couples who are coming to Antwerp to purchase a diamond ring. Antwerp’s diamond district is located very near its Central Station, and since I arrived there by train, my first look at the city’s architecture was in this magnificent, cathedral-like structure, with its high marble columns and long, elegant staircases. A short walk from this station led me right into the Diamond Square Mile. When I now hear that previously popular Rihanna song about shining “Bright Like a Diamond”, I’m reminded of Antwerp’s diamond district, with its plethora of jewelry shops and real, shining diamonds. However, when I think back to my Antwerp visit, I’m also reminded of the city’s many other ‘diamonds’, too, for I discovered that this beautiful city had far more ‘gems’ than merely the ones located in its diamond district. Some of these not-to-bemissed attractions include the Farmers’ Tower (Europe’s first skyscraper), the Cathedral of Our Lady (the highest Gothic building in the country, with its impressive collection of major art works), Rubenshuis (where the artist created many of his masterpieces), the MAS (a towering museum with a spectacular view of the city from the top), the Festival Hall (for shopping in style), the Butchers’ Hall (a former meat market that’s now a music museum), the Antwerp Zoo (located next to Central Station and dating back to 1843), Aquatopia (the large aquarium near the zoo), the Flanders Opera (housed in a beautiful neo-baroque building), Het Steen ( a mediaeval fortress on the bank of the Scheldt River), the Grote Markt (in the heart of the Old City, with its City Hall and severed hand statue), the Red Star Line Museum (depicting

the story of migrants who left Europe from here for ‘the promised land’), and the restored warehouses along the waterfront (now converted to boutiques and restaurants). As a tourist destination, Antwerp does, indeed, shine bright like a diamond. For More Information: www.visitﬂanders.us

LIFESTYLES

Preserve the tree, preserve yourself Dan Clost Lifestyles - In the olden days, our tree came into the house during Christmas week, freshly cut, and was taken out shortly after New Year’s Day: it was inside for less than two weeks. Today, folks bring their trees in as early as the last week in November and set them outside around the second week in January. Certainly, not all trees are created equal and some turn to tinder faster than others, even within the same species. For example, two seemingly identical Balsam Firs can have a signiﬁcantly

different lifespan. Perhaps one tree was tucked inside the shipping bundle and the other was on the outside of the tractor trailer load as it travelled from Northern Ontario or Nova Scotia. One can easily last several weeks inside the home, the other may leave its needles in the car trunk. (By the way, Gentle Reader, any reputable seller will replace such a tree immediately. Caveat emptor, buyer beware, is not an option; it is a shared responsibility.) Here is a sobering thought: Christmas tree ﬁres show the highest increase of 50% on Dec 24, 61% on the 25th and 43% on the 26th; of these, one in nine have a fatality and almost all of those deaths occur somewhere else in the home; not in the room where the ﬁre starts. Obviously you want to start with the freshest tree possible. You should know most commercially available trees are harvested in mid-November and some

even before that. Look for needles on the branches, not those on the ground as many species, especially spruce, will have quite a few old, dead needles on the inside. Run your hands along the stems, grasp strongly, and see what happens. Pines tend to collect quite a bit of “straw” on the inner stems so it is a good idea to reach in and clean them out. The best thing you can do to increase longevity is to keep it hydrated. When you get the tree home, put it into water as soon as you can. Make sure you cut off between half and one full inch off of the butt. The stand should ﬁt the tree not the other way round. Shaving off the sides actually strips away the “arteries” and decreases the ability of the tree to take up water. The National Christmas Tree Association says trees will need one quart of water per inch of stem diameter, so a four inch stem needs a stand that

holds four quarts (one gallon) or just a titch over four, five litres. That will be soaked up within the first 24 hours. So, if your stand doesn’t hold enough, you need to check the reservoir more often than once a day. Once the tree has rehydrated itself, water consumption will slow down but you must stay on top of the situation. Make it easy to check, provide yourself with clear access to the reservoir. If you do find that your tree will be near a vent, cover up the vent. If you can’t cover up the vent, then put the tree somewhere else. Should you use a preservative? Laval University folks have discovered the chemical that causes needle drop. They are working on a preventative. Until then, clean tap water is the best. Some preservatives- e.g. two top selling brands in the U.S., have been discontinued because they actually increased needle loss. GR, just because some marketing

No matter what should you buy her something you think your wife says, a package under the she needs. First, you’re probably wrong; tree is non-negotiable.

been useful. They brought something symbolic of who Jesus was to them. So think romance, not necessity. Think meaningful, not useful in the laundry room. It’s the wise way. The Wise Men, however, were not merely gift toters. They also were wise because they were on the look out for danger, avoiding the homicidal King Herod and protecting Mary and Jesus in the process. This may not be a very women’s lib type thing to say, but I think “protecting your brood” comes right after “it’s the man’s job to kill the bugs” in the ofﬁcial marriage rule book. Now, men must understand that many dangers in a woman’s life are of her own making. Women naturally expand to ﬁll the void—and no, I’m not 1 referring to the lady who required that scale. If there is work to be done, and no one to do it, women naturally step in. That is why we are chronically

exhausted and grumpy. Men can protect women by helping us do some of that work, and by gently helping us see when we’re getting out of control. Remember, though, that the preferred method of conveying such nuggets of wisdom is to do so while handing us chocolate truffles and running that bubble bath. Finally, the wise men knew that sometimes you have to take a journey to find something truly important. I don’t mean heading down to Home Depot to get the latest power tool; I mean going places you wouldn’t normally venture. Maybe you need to take a journey this Christmas season; a journey back to that place in your heart where you first fell in love. Maybe you need to journey to church, to a marriage counselor, to more of your children’s pageants. Maybe you need to journey to a place of forgiveness. Maybe you need to take a journey to a place where you can be free to say “I love you”, “I cherish you”, “I need you”, or to find an answer to the question, “what am I here for?” Seek out that which is important this season.

year round facility and therefore the chances of someone being there during the spring when the flood risks are highest, were slim. He also said that certain measures could be built into the structure which would have no basement or crawl space and could be constructed on piers. He described the lot as being tiered, saying he could move the building to the higher ground. He commented, “I am willing to cooperate with the Board in whatever recommendations they may make...” Chair Barry Rand asked Richardson what the Board’s options were and was told that if the application were to be approved, there would have to be very clear and concise reasons for that decision. Another option was for deferral of a decision, but as she explained, in that case, the issues that are raised would still be there, “and we will find ourselves back here at the end of the day.” A great deal of discussion and conversation around the table followed, with input from several Board members one of whom, Ron Gerow, suggested there might be some engineering options which “could be put on the table for further consideration... to see how they are applicable to the process that we have to work within.” Following further input from others and an indication from the engineer that the potential impact from flooding could be managed and another from the property owner that he would be willing to make alterations to the plan to mitigate the risk, Gerow proposed a motion. It stated, “that we defer the de-

cision (in order) to allow the applicant an opportunity to modify and amend at his will the application based on the discussion here today.” The motion passed with thanks from the Chair “for a good and open discussion.” The matter will again appear on the February 20 agenda. The meeting continued after a break, with Richardson providing a generic regulations report, saying that another permit had been approved while one was on hold and two others awaiting approval. With regard to the access road to Fire Route 28 located in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen, letters have been sent to the landowner and others saying that CVCA would accept an application for the installation of a culvert and up to a foot of fill to be placed along the access road to raise it to summer elevation. A 20 minute lunch break was followed by the 2014 budget deliberations with CVCA General Manager Tim Pidduck reminding that during the last meeting he had been directed ensure that the Long Range Plan objectives of a six percent increase, were met. This required shaving .33 percent from the figures, which Pidduck managed to do. He mentioned a figure of $10,000 in the 2013 budget under the heading of Flood Management - Unfunded Liabilities which had not been used, and could therefore be identified as surplus “to be held in reserve and used in the 2014 budget to cover the Flood Management - Unfunded Liabilities rather than raising levies to once again

cover the potential expense.” His report continued, “This enables the levy to be reduced by $10,000. Once the .33 percent overage ($1282) was taken into consideration, adjustments were made to the capital budget allowing a contribution of $8,718 to capital.” Another item raised by Pidduck was the engineering cost for 2014 to have anchors installed at Wollaston and Belmont dams. The original estimate which was made in 2005, was for $3000 per anchor, a figure which has since more than doubled to $6700. Since the dam safety guidelines which were updated in 2011, have been relaxed, Pidduck feels the number of anchors required could be reduced, potentially installing one anchor per pier. He suggested that in 2014, perhaps one or other of the dams could be chosen to have the work done. Discussion of budget matters continued with Gerow indicating that his council would not support a six percent increase, a statement which was echoed by Sandy Fraser of Marmora and Lake. A motion was made, and passed in a recorded vote that the draft budget be changed to reflect the contingency fund and forwarded to the municipalities for comment. The matter of having Quinte Conservation involved in a service agreement with CVCA, which was turned down during a well attended meeting held in the Marmora Town Hall on October 25, arose again with Gerow saying that his council unanimously felt there was merit in the proposal but that it hadn’t been completed. It was suggested by the Chair that perhaps a motion relating to the issue could be drafted for the next meeting. The new CVCA logo, created with input from staff, and featuring a large and graceful crow flying against a field of blue water and green land was unveiled to unanimous approval. One of the final items to take place was the announcement that the CVCA minutes would be posted on line in draft form within two weeks, or possibly one, of each meeting.

Back to the future with Hula Hoop fun By Bill Freeman

Lifestyles - Hastings – It’s back to the future for a group of women in Hastings who are getting their exercise groove using good old-fashioned hula hoops which conjure up images of childhood and school playground fun. While the commercial rage

for hula hoops had its hey-day during the late 1950s and 1960s the art and sport of “hooping” has never really disappeared finding new adherents in successive generations and renewed interest from earlier hoopers who appreciate the fitness element the nostalgic toy can provide.

“I do it as a flow movement so it’s more like a dance,” says instructor Rebecca Hardy of Dartford. “It’s just a matter of expressing yourself with the hoop as your partner. It’s basically the same as the kid’s toy but it’s expanded into dance.” Hardy has been a hula hoop instructor since last winter when she led an adult and children’s class at the Campbellford Resource Centre. “It seemed like everyone was having a lot of fun which is what it’s all about,” she said. The Hastings class meets Friday afternoons (2 p.m.) at the Civic Centre on a drop-in-when-you-can basis. They’ve made their own hula hoops out of basic plumbing tubing which is commonly used for modern hoops. They are bigger and heavier than the original toy hoops. “You can make your own so you can get the right size,” says Hardy. The heavier hoops are easier to use, she says, “then you can work your way on to the smaller ones.” “You can start at your own pace,” Hardy stressed. “It’s a dance so everybody’s got their own style so they’re going to adapt it to whatever’s right for them. It’s a full body workout, you get everything involved.” Belly dancing instructor Kirsten Boyd Please see “Exercise” on page B9

loves the hula hoop. “It fits in really well with belly dancing in addition to what we already do,” Boyd said. “It increases our flexibility.” “It’s exercise, it’s a great workout,” says Lynda of Hastings.

“I had them on every day when I was a young kid. After school we had the hoops going all the time.” For the record, the hula hoop was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame in Rochester, New York in 1999.

The news is good because it means there are fewer families in need this year, according to WO Driscoll.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get as many families as we did in the past, this to me is a good sign that there are less people in trouble this year,â&#x20AC;? she noted.

As usual, the committee had nothing but praise for the base units and students at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for their efforts this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s did a wonderful job of packing the food hampers for us, making it extremely easy to process them at this end and our units were extremely generous and provided for our families extremely well this year,â&#x20AC;? said WO Driscoll.

In most cases, local emergency services will contact the disaster management team, who then send out a two-person team to the scene of the disaster. With them they bring basic comfort items like blankets, personal hygiene products and food and water, and in many cases the team then sets up the affected persons with short-term housing. With a recent Hastings County decision to award the local branch of the Red Cross a three-year contract to provide an after hours emergency service, the disaster management team is looking for new volunteers to help swell Disaster Management volunteers Sharlene Matacheskie, Jocelyn Brethour, their ranks.

News – Belleville – When most people think about a disaster management team, images of tsunamis, hurricanes and tornadoes come to mind, but disasters aren’t always so large in scale. Small disasters occur almost every day across the province, and when they do the Canadian Red Cross is looking for new volunteers to

THANK YOU

40-50 calls per year, but he expects that number to increase come January. “That’s going to result in quite a significant number in terms of the call volume we have,” he said. “We’re going to be pretty busy.” Volunteers generally rotate their schedules so that there is always a team on call 24/7, which currently in the southern part of the service area means that each team takes one week a month. Allester said the team has many members who work full-time jobs or have full family lives, and that they do their best to co-ordinate who is available when. Volunteers are also provided hands-on training in first aid and CPR, with additional training opportunities for those seeking more of a leadership role. “There’s flexibility in the system,” Allester said. In odd cases, the Quinte team is sent to other parts of the world when largescale disasters strike. Most recently, nine volunteers from the Quinte region travelled to Alberta and Ottawa to provide assistance during the Alberta floods – five members heading to the site of the disaster and four others heading to Ottawa to volunteer at a call centre coordinating disaster relief. “I think there’s a lot of opportunity for personal growth, you can learn a lot, you can develop new skills, but if it was only that I don’t think it’s enough,” Allester said. “For me personally, it’s a great sense of satisfaction to be able to help people out.”

To learn more about joining the a disaster management team, go to www.redcross.ca/ BeAHero, phone the Quinte branch at 613-966-0730 ext.110, or send an email to QuinteDMTeam@redcross.ca “I worked for a long time in a big bureaucracy, writing

reports and sometimes you really don’t know if you’ve made a difference,” Allester said. “But here, volunteering with the Red Cross you get a real immediate sense that you made a difference. Maybe just a little difference, but you’ve helped someone.”
