By John CampbellNews – Trent Hills – Water and sewer rates are going up two per cent in Trent Hills, against the wishes of the mayor and a recommendation from staff that there be no increase.

In a polled vote he requested, Mayor Hector Macmillan was joined by Councillor Meirion Jones in opposing the rate hike supported by Deputy-mayor Bob Crate and councillors Kim McNeil, Gene Brahaney and Bill Thompson Janu-ary 7.

The increase, effective January 1, were for-mally put into effect with the passage of a bylaw January 21.

For typical household water users whose aver-age consumption is 15 cubic metres a month, the new rates will increase their bill by $4.12 every two months to $210.15, and raise an additional $68,490 overall for the water and sewer systems in Campbellford, Warkworth and Hastings.

Director of fi nance Shelley Eliopoulos argued in favour of a rate freeze at the public meeting because users “have faced a number of drastic changes over the past few years” while the munic-ipality moved toward a blended rate structure in which residents and businesses in all three centres pay the same rate. Trent Hills fi nally achieved that goal in 2013 when water rates were raised four per cent and sewer charges were raised 12 per cent.

Macmillan said users “need a break” and he sided with Eliopoulos in saying the charges should remain the same for another year while a working group of council re-examines the rate structure. He challenged staff to come up with “alternative means of either saving money or raising it in a dif-ferent fashion” as part of the analysis, which the fi nance director said would be completed before August.

By Bill FreemanNews – Asphodel-Norwood – For Allison Brown the Norwood Fair is an “amazing example of what a group of like-minded can accomplish.”

Brown, the fi rst and only woman to serve as president (2002-03) of the Norwood Agricultur-al Society, was presented with the prestigious Ag-ricultural Service Award last week during their an-

nual general meeting and awards gala.

She accepted the award with “gratitude and quiet thanks” and a tribute to the dedication, diligence and passion of the volunteers and sup-porters who have made the Fair among the very best in Ontario, one that drew a record-breaking 21,145 people on open-ing day in 2013.

A native of Quebec

and from a family with “deep agricultural roots,” Brown joined the Soci-ety’s executive board in 1994 in her second year as a director and imme-diately began a long and fruitful tenure looking after concessions and the Brethen Coliseum, a job she continues to do.

There was a learn-ing curve that fi rst year, Brown admits, but she and colleague Joan Payne

Maurice Goulet, manager of the laboratory at the Campbellford Me-morial Hospital, had to take the plunge solo this year as his partner in the plunge was unable to make it because of the winter storm. As member of the two-man Chillie Willies, he did the Penguin walk again for the second year in a row, to raise money for the hospital. Photo: Sue Dickens

Norwood Fair caps spectacular year with awards galaBy Bill FreemanNews – Asphodel-Norwood - “It’s one of the most important community events I get to attend,” Asphodel-Nor-wood mayor Doug Pearcy said of the Norwood Agricultural Society’s annual general meeting and awards gala.

“It’s our signature event,” Pearcy said of the 143-year-old fair that drew over 45,000 people to the township this past Thanksgiving weekend.

The awards dinner, held in the deep-est heart of a cruelly cold winter, is a chance to celebrate the dedication of volunteers, tradition, innovation and the future, which the fair board always ad-dresses boldly but with a respectful ap-preciation of the past.

In his remarks Pearcy paid tribute the fair board’s ability to embrace traditions while showcasing new technology; bal-ancing the fair’s great history with the de-mands of a fast-changing, modern world.

He also acknowledged the fair’s pe-rennial success as an economic driver for the region.

“People love how this town embraces

its rural tradition.”The “loyalty and motivation” of vol-

unteers is what keeps pushing the event to bigger and greater things.

History and tradition were certainly on show during the night with 12 past presidents in attendance along with six School Fair presidents and ten Home-craft presidents.

Change has also been a “continuous process” for the fair during its long his-tory, board president Ed Walsh noted.

He referred to a spectacular aerial photo of the fairgrounds that has had dates overlaid on the buildings, struc-tures and other features.

“It is an incredible picture and one might think is the result of an incredible plan, planned this way from the begin-ning of fair time in 1868,” said Walsh. “But I don’t think anyone could have foreseen this present day fair.”

Over the past year alone the society “changed” over 40 things, a fact Walsh called “quite impressive.”

In fi nancial terms it represented $32,243 in pre-fair upgrades and im-

provements, everything from paint work at the Brethen Coliseum to constructing four new displays stands for the School Fair; enhancements to the permanent coliseum stage using donations in mem-ory of former president Charlie Lobb.

The municipality donated 39 King St. to the Agricultural Society which is the ground’s walk-in entrance.

As well there was the ambitious em-brace of social media with a streamlined and faster web page, online entries, a revamped Twitter feed and Facebook page, a “Sidewalker” mobile app so people could access schedules, maps and other information via cell phones and other mobile devices and free wire-

less internet across the grounds for three days.

“All these things completed change and this year was not exceptional by any means in terms of what we accom-plished,” said Walsh. “The Agricultural Society does this every year.”

Revenues this year totalled $300,267. Of that total, $200,807 (67 per cent) came from the gate and $56,111 came from midways and concessions. Sig-nifi cantly, it generated $26,968 through summer rentals.

“It was a really good year,” said sec-retary-manager Paul Quinlan.

an amazing support to me over the years.”

While the strength of the fair is its army of volunteers, Brown says a “crucial” factor in the fair’s success is the exhibitors.

“Without the exhibitors we wouldn’t have much to show the fair-goers.”

The board has been “proactive” in exploring new ways to improve the fair and its infrastructure, expanding children’s programs, increasing prize money and developing advertising strategies that target new fairgoers.

“All changes to improve the expe-rience we are offering the exhibitors and the public,” she says.

Brown says she is delighted when she sees new directors come on board, many the sons and daughters of past directors “stepping up and embracing their turn to sit on the board.”

With that she is “reminded again what the Norwood Fair means to the community.”

The Norwood Fair, says Brown, is a place to “celebrate milestones, to teach responsibility and demon-strate excellence; a place for friendly competition and a place to share with family and friends. Most of all it is a place to celebrate the community and agricultural lifestyle we all love.”

“It is a community effort with ev-ery person knowing what their contri-bution is and just coming forward to get it quietly done.”

Brown has a passion for fibre arts and noted that the 2013 Fair hosted its first ever wool show where she won champion and reserve champion wool fleece; a feat she repeated later at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.

“Wool and fibre have been my thing for years so it was wonderful to be recognized.”

In presenting the award, Fair president Ed Walsh praised Brown’s “confi-dence, calm nature” with a

“fair approach to every sit-uation.” He also called her an “excellent ambassador for the Norwood Fair.”

By Bill FreemanNews – Asphodel-Norwood – While a host of municipalities are scathingly critical of a proposed new Ontario Provincial Police bill-ing model and want the provincial government to scrap any attempt at implementing it, Asphodel-Nor-wood mayor Doug Pearcy sees a silver lining in it for his municipal-ity.

Municipal councils are being inundated with resolutions opposed to a new billing model that would charge each household a fl at $260

for base costs related to providing police services and a variable charge based each call for service in each municipality. The OPP say that 73 per cent of their costs are fi xed and 27 per cent are variable; they have estimated that the average cost per household based on this formula would be approximately $369.

Tay Valley Township is one of the scores of municipalities that has denounced the proposal noting that it could face a 189 per cent increase in policing costs, a staggering jump from $445,000 a year to $1.4 mil-

lion. That increase alone would rep-resent a 20 per cent hike in property taxes.

Pearcy says the new billing formula would actually produce a slight reduction in Asphodel-Norwood, which is a good thing because he shares province-wide concerns about the policing costs municipalities must bear.

“I think we should send a let-ter to the minister telling her we’re aware that many municipalities are demanding that they not proceed with changes to the billing model

Asphodel-Norwood not opposed to proposed model

Water, sewer rates increaseBut McNeil said she found

“it really hard to even consider a zero increase” when the sys-tems are more than $11 million in debt, reserves are to be drawn down to $1.8 million (after be-ing as high as $3.8 million at the end of 2012), and money will be needed to fund future capital projects, such as major repairs to Campbellford’s water stor-age tank, which are expected to cost more than $1 million.

“As much as it would be nice to give people a break ... it’s just pushing the problem off until a later date,” she said.

Brahaney said council has “a responsibility to the next coun-cil that follows us that there are proper reserves set aside” and it should be prepared for “hic-cups” that can happen, such as higher fuel costs and emergen-cy fixes.

Setting aside $68,490 “would be a good starting point,” he

said.Crate agreed, saying he was

“quite pleased” when Eliopou-los fi rst recommended no in-crease in December, but then came to the conclusion “we have to be ready for things to happen” unexpectedly that “can kill you” with unbudgeted items.

Jones said he’d “really like to see a zero per cent increase but I just don’t think that’s practical.”

Eliopoulos had included in her presentation rate increases of one and 1.5 per cent.

Jones, who said some resi-dents had told him their water and sewer bills are “getting out of hand,” also spoke in favour of the rate review being done as soon as possible.

“The sooner we do that and get a better way of applying the water, sewer rates to the individual residents, the bet-ter it will be,” he said. “Maybe there’s a more equitable way of

doing it.”Among the areas to be exam-

ined are the rates charged multi-unit residential buildings.

Campbellford resident Alan Appleby pointed to excess ca-pacity of 50 per cent at the town’s water filtration and sewage treatment plants and wondered “why should current users pay the full cost of the system that’s designed for a much larger population?”

He suggested “all taxpayers should be paying a part of this excess capacity cost” because it facilitates “quick and easy development,” which “benefits everybody in this municipality and not just sewer and water users.”

Macmillan said he would have “a real hard time” asking residents with wells and septic systems to help pay for other people’s water and sewer sys-tems.

“It’s immoral,” he said.

but that our municipality is con-cerned from another aspect in that we believe that our policing costs are too high,” he said.

“When you look at how this is laid out that automatically reduces our total police bill by a little bit. Not a lot.”

Pearcy said that in 2013 Aspho-del-Norwood’s per household polic-ing cost was $378 and will be $404 in 2014. By his own calculation the

new billing model will have the per household cost drop to $356.

“Not a lot of money but (still) $50 per household. It would help.”

He noted that neighbouring mu-nicipalities like Havelock-Belmont-Methuen are wary of the new billing model because their per household costs will rise.

“I don’t want to pick a fi ght with other municipalities but I think the ministry needs to hear from peo-

ple.”Pearcy pointed to a letter from

the Town of Fort Frances which supports the new billing model while criticizing the “excessive per household costs” for policing. Fort Frances currently pays $670.92 per household and will see a signifi cant reduction. The municipality says the proposal “ensures an equitable distribution of cost sharing for all municipalities.”

Snow Plow Road Safety Tips Be patient and keep a safe distance behind working snow plows. Snow plows often travel slowly because they are removing snow, spreading salt or sand, and applying liquid anti-ice to roadways.

Never pass a snow plow. Snow plows are wider than the average vehicle with large blades that extend a meter or more ahead and into the neighbouring lane. Passing a snow plow could result in a collision.

Don’t drive beside snow plows. You risk collision as snow plows sometimes shift sideways when they are plowing packed snow or drifts.

Move aside. Snow plows often drive along the centreline of a roadway to remove snow. If you are approaching a snow plow from the opposite direction, shift right if conditions allow to ensure there is enough space for them to pass you safely.

Beware of reduced visibility. Even at reduced plowing speeds, a light powdery snow forms a cloud in the wake of a snow plow that severely restricts a driver’s visibility making passing extremely dangerous.

Watch for snow plows on sunny days. Snow plows and removal equipment must be out for several hours after a storm clearing shoulders and cutting back snow banks. Please look out for plows even on clear days.

News - Northumberland Coun-ty – Following last week’s an-nouncement of the 2014 Ontario ParaSport Games that will take place in the county, Trent Hills is the only municipality that will not have any of the eight sport-ing events or training camps held within its borders.

“We are really committed to involving as much of the county as possible in the Games,” pro-motions chair Don Sellar said, but the “constraints” included a Sport Alliance Ontario rule that accessible sport “venues have to be within 30-minute bus rides from the athletes villages” – cur-

rently designated as a hotel in Co-bourg and an inn in Port Hope.

“That has limited what we can do in terms of spreading them ev-erywhere,” he said.

Brighton has been chosen as a venue for two of the events as well as one of the training camps but while East Northumberland Sec-ondary School will be one of two locations used for wheelchair bas-ketball, its new track and fi eld isn’t likely to be among the sites used.

The Games are “still a work in progress,” Sellar said, “but my guess is no.”

The issue isn’t whether the school’s track and fi eld will be

fi nished in time but whether an-other sport can be added to the eight already scheduled.

The local committee “was ea-ger to get swimming and track and fi eld (included) and we put the full court press on,” Sellar said, but it was unable to land provincial competitions in those sports.

The Games will offer “short-term economic benefi ts” for Northumberland but the hope is, should they generate a surplus, “we’ll be able to create a legacy fund that could be used to support more recreational opportunities for athletes with a disability.”

By John CampbellNews – Trent Hills – The municipality is going to make it easier for people looking to buy property in Trent Hills to get the infor-mation they need when re-searching a purchase.

It recently introduced an interactive map on its web-site, www.trenthills.ca, that shows not only roads but also water mains and sani-tary sewers, and allows us-ers to search for addresses.

But new features are to be added in layers that will allow the public to search for parcels, and to look up the land use designation and zoning for properties – in-formation currently only

available to municipal staff. If the update to the geo-

graphic information system “works the way we hope (it will) eventually,” people will be able to fi nd what they’re looking for on their own and answer most of their questions, planning di-rector Jim Peters said.

But should they require further details, their ques-tions will be “a little more detailed, a little more fo-cused,” he added. “Some-times we get calls and it takes quite a while to fi gure out what exactly they’re talking about.”

The Centre for Geo-graphic Information

By Sue DickensNews – Campbellford – More than three decades of hard work with the Homecraft Divi-sion of the Campbellford Fair has earned Marilyn Pollock the 2014 Agricultural Service Diploma.

The best-kept secret was an-nounced last Saturday as a sur-prise presentation at the annual general meeting (AGM) of the Campbellford-Seymour Agri-cultural Society.

Each year the society selects an individual or a couple to re-ceive the diploma.

“It is awarded to well deserv-ing individuals without whose service the society would be lost,” said past Homecraft President Angela Runciman.

“This year’s recipient has gained respect and notoriety as a creator, a teacher, a mentor and a judge,” she said, leading up to the presentation.

“This year’s recipient has exhibited and won at all lev-els: local, district and provin-

cial. This year’s recipient has contributed countless hours of unselfi sh service to the Camp-bellford Fair and for the past three decades has been an in-strumental part of the Needle-craft Division.”

Previous award recipients include Jim Curle, Bob Teas-dale and Ralph Parr.

Some have served in ex-ecutive positions, others have gained recognition for their ac-tive promotion of agriculture and the rural way of life in the community.

“All have been key compo-nents to our fair,” said Runci-man.

Pollock has been judging at regional fairs and district meet-ings since 1995, often selecting winning quilts that have gone on to win at the Ontario Asso-ciation of Agricultural Societ-ies (OAAS) convention.

“She has a keen eye for a winner,” Runciman added.

Pollock is a highly respect-ed judge and “one in great de-

mand”. Last summer alone she

judged at fi ve fairs while turn-ing down at least two oth-ers because of confl icting dates. “Marilyn is key to the success of our Ladies’ Quilt Draw. She chooses the fabric and design, oversees the quilt-ing and looks after the ticket sales on the street. And I am very proud to say I was the lucky winner of the quilt last year, which I will always trea-sure,” Runciman commented.

“She spends much of the fair involved with demonstra-tions; rug hooking, quilting or producing her unique and very beautiful temari balls.”

After accepting the award and posing for photographs at the AGM, Pollock was asked if she would like to say some-thing but quietly, shyly de-clined.

The 80 or so members of the Society attending the dinner applauded her for her accom-plishments.

Map will help people

Systems (CGIS) has been providing electronic mapping to Trent Hills staff since 2006. The revision to the agreement approved by council last week also gives the municipal-ity the capability to edit the data so changes can be made quickly to keep the information current.

The update will increase the cost Trent Hills pays CGIS for the ser-vice by $310 a month to $1,625, Peters said.

“The good thing is, once you have it, you can just keep adding in-formation in layers to it,” he said.


By Bill FreemanNews – Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – Township staff have concerns about the impact two and possibly three new arenas in the city of Peterborough could have on the local community centre.

Council passed a motion at their regular meeting supporting Douro-Dummer, the municipal-ity that would be most affected by any arena expansion plan, which wants to form a group of county municipal representatives to bring their concerns directly to the city.

“It is something the county should be keeping an eye on. I would like to see us stay involved with this because it does affect us,” Councillor Jim Martin said of the Douro-Dummer action.

“The reality of the situation is that if three facilities are built it will result in the reduction of rentals at all rural arenas and may result in the closing of some,” says Brian Millett, manager of recreation facilities for the Township of Douro-Dummer, in a letter to Peterborough County’s eight municipalities.

“It is essential that as rural communities our voice be heard during the process as it will have a profound impact on our com-

New arenas in Peterborough could hurt rural facilities: HBMand the city replaces Northcrest Arena near Trent University there will be enough overfl ow for just one rural are-na, says Millett.

Douro-Dummer will send the city a letter “of concern” and will champion a county group that would address Peter-borough city council directly.

Although the impact of two new are-nas in the city might not have the impact on HBM as it would in Douro-Dummer, economic development offi cer Brian Grattan pointed out that there is a Pe-terborough group that runs fi ve tourna-ments a year at the community centre which represents between eight and 12 hours of rented ice per day.

Those tournaments also provide spinoff business in town, said Grattan.

“We still see that it could have an im-pact on the facilities in the township but not to the same extent as it might have in Douro-Dummer.”

By Bill FreemanNews – Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – There will be some “major announcements” in the near future on the jobs and in-vestment front and “new op-portunities” in Havelock-Bel-mont-Methuen, says Mayor Ron Gerow.

“There will be some good things happen in 2014 from that perspective,” Gerow told The Independent without revealing more specifi c details about the developments.

At the same time, Gerow made it clear that he and council would like to see more “bang for their buck” from the Greater Peterbor-

ough Economic Development Corporation (GPA EDC) related to economic activity in the town-ship.

“There are economic drivers that are happening in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen now,” he said.

“I believe we can build on those things but we also need to reach further and work on the more stable things like business retention, smaller opportunities (in a) rural setting,” he said. “I don’t think we’ve really got a good bang for our buck (from the GPA EDC) over the last four years.”

He would also like to see more effort channeled into promoting

tourism-related activities, busi-ness and opportunities in the eastern and northeastern part of Peterborough County; both the county and the region would benefi t from successful tourism ventures.

“I don’t think we’ve tapped into those nearly as deeply as what we could,” Gerow said.

“I’d like to see HBM take a lead in that.”

Working together with neigh-bouring North Kawartha and the GPA EDC could produce a fruit-ful outcome, he said.

“There’s a manifest of things we really haven’t taken advan-tage of.”

By Bill FreemanNews – Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – The federal govern-ment has to get back into the role of assisting municipalities, espe-cially now that they are facing a staggering infrastructure defi cit that threatens future economic development, says Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Mayor Ron Gerow.

“Our relationship with the fed-eral government has pretty much become non-existent in this term of council,” Gerow says.

As a “player,” he says the federal government is a “critical part” particularly when address-ing the infrastructure needs of municipalities, especially small rural communities like HBM which are constrained by their size in what they can do on their

own.Gerow says things are rela-

tively silent on the “Shining Waters Railway” front, a big and ambitious railway improvement plan from Toronto to east of Pe-terborough championed by Peter-borough MP Dean Del Mastro.

“We hear little things on what’s happening. There’s a ma-jor need to put a push on some of this stuff.”

Businesses in the township, he stressed, are dependent on trans-portation to get their material and products in and out and rail is a vital carrier. Potential new busi-nesses interested in the munici-pality also consider rail transport as a keystone to success.

It’s “vital that we re-kindle relationships” with the federal government, Gerow said.

He laments the fact that the federal government appears to “back away” on the affordable housing front.

“The last two or three years there has been very little inter-est by the federal government” in supporting municipal infrastruc-ture initiatives, Gerow said.

He calls that “not acceptable.”“The relationships at all lev-

els have to be improved,” Gerow said, adding in the provincial government as well, “(but) we need to work hard on the federal government.”

Gerow says he will raise the issue during an upcoming Peter-borough County strategic plan-ning session.

“I want to see the county and townships work harder on these things.”

“Major” investment, job news on the way: HBM mayor

Feds have to get back into the game, mayor says

Martin says Peterborough city council should know that there are “other options” rather than spending tens of millions of dollars on new ice pads.

“They need to know we’re here. We should be following

this.”“I’m not sure the con-

sultant considered all of the capacity that is available in the townships,” added Chief Administrative Offi cer Linda Reed.

munities and facilities,” said Millett.

The city has hired The RE-THINK GROUP to conduct an arena needs assessment. That as-sessment has produced prelimi-nary information that indicates Peterborough groups utilize 50 prime time ice hours per week in arenas outside of the city with facilities in Douro and Warsaw most booked. However, Peter-borough-based groups also travel to Havelock and Norwood and as far away as Bewdley and Apsley.

The consultants indicate that that if prime time ice use in ru-ral arenas was maximized by Pe-terborough-based users it would equal 2.4 ice surfaces.

“There is considerable oppor-

tunity to expand capacity within the region if area municipali-ties increased the availability of prime time hours and Peterbor-ough groups are willing to travel and use the less desirable prime time hours,” consultant Robert Lockhart said in a recent presen-tation.

Prime time hours in the city, Monday to Friday, are 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends.

“Although not all of the rural arenas included in the study are at near capacity in prime time there is no additional ice time avail-able at the times most requested by Peterborough groups,” said Lockhart.

By Sue DickensNews – Campbellford – “It is wonderful to hear the babble of babies tonight and I hope it is a new trend that will continue. It is also great to see a good number of young people here to support the fair board. We know we can grow and thrive with your involvement,” said Campbell-ford Fair’s Homecraft President Debbie Petherick.

She spoke to a room fi lled with mem-bers of the Campbellford-Seymour Ag-ricultural Society at their annual general meeting (AGM) held last Saturday.

Change is in the wind for the fair as the society looks forward to celebrating its 160th anniversary.

A change of venue begins the changes with the society holding its AGM in a new location, at the Campbellford Curl-ing Club.

“There are ideas afoot to make more changes this coming year and we are al-ways open for suggestions for improve-ment,” said Petherick.

“The fair has been prominent in har-vesting memories in our family with at-tendance at many fairs for Holstein and 4-H shows, fair ambassador competi-tions, craft exhibits, and other fun activi-ties,” she added.

At last year’s fair the Homecraft build-ing at the curling club “was a walk down memory lane with the theme Harvest of Memories.”

Petherick spoke of last year’s suc-cesses.

“The sections of needlecraft, hobbies, fl owers, vegetables, photography, bak-ing, preserves, Junior work and school work embraced our theme where pos-sible in their classes and decorated with memorabilia befi tting harvest of the past. We do our utmost to arrange the areas for

By Sue DickensNews – Campbellford – The executive for the Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural Society (CSAWS) was re-elected at the annual general meet-ing (AGM) held at the curling club.

The 2014 board is now ready to make plans for celebrations to mark the 160th anniversary of the Campbellford Fair and its members are: President Brian Redden; 1st Vice President, John Finlay; 2nd Vice President Jenni-fer Jeffs.

A new venue, the curl-ing club, was chosen as the location for this year’s AGM, refl ecting the ex-ecutive’s desire to see some changes to make this year’s fair special.

“The Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural So-ciety should be very proud of what has been achieved this past year,” said Presi-dent Redden.

“It’s always wonderful to see the volunteer hours that are given free to put on the fair and other events and without that spirit we would not be here tonight and thinking about our 160th year,” he added, ad-dressing the 80 members who attended the AGM dinner.

Noting there has been “a lot of brainstorming,”

by the executive, Redden said, “Every year more and more agricultural so-cieties are realizing they must look seriously at im-proving the way to do our business if we expect to continue.”

He thanked the vol-unteers whose hard work has resulted in successful fundraising events in the past.

“We appreciate all your help and dedication to the agricultural society,” he said.

“We have seen the past now let us look at the fu-ture for the Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural Society.” As part of the agenda at the AGM the 2013 CSAC fi nancial statement was approved.

Fair income for the year ending December 31, 2013 was $48,803.59.

Other income included $4,000 from the Home-craft Division, OMAF grants for $3,552.97, and fundraising monies from such events as the chicken BBQ, sale barn, cook-books, and more which amounted to $39,555.92 etc. resulting in a revenue total of $99,974.06.

General administra-tion and expenses totalled $25,939.53. Fair expenses for such items as prize money and operation of the fair totalled $44,579.16.

Fundraising expenses to-talled $18,113.598 result-ing in a grand total for ex-penses of $88,632.27.

Net income for the fair was $11,341.79.

Cathy Redden, who is now 2nd vice president of the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS) spoke at the AGM as well, explain what the organization does.

She will become the 1st vice president in February.

“The OAAS is there to assist the fairs in doing what they do best,” she said.

“It’s our job to unify them and bring them to-gether for education and for assistance in prob-lems they may be running into.”

She talked about the OAAS convention taking place February 20 to 22 and said she would like to see representatives for the Campbellforfd fair attend-ing.

“We would like to see you not only as partici-pants and delegates but helping out with some of the sessions,” she com-mented, inviting members to get involved at the pro-vincial level.

“I can tell you the Campbellford Fair ranks right up there with the rest,” she concluded.

Changes afoot for the Campbellford Fairthe best eye catching view of the many excellent creative entries.”

Last year fair attendees were enter-tained and educated by demonstrations of artwork/canvas painting, stained glass artwork, butter making and rug hooking.

“We look forward to great displays this year depicting our “Hats Off to 160 Years” theme to honour 160 fairs for the Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural So-ciety (CSAS),” said Petherick.

Pointing to achievements and ac-complishments, she noted that Doreen Turner’s machine quilt would be entered in the Ontario Association of Agricul-tural Societies (OAAS) competition at the convention in February as it placed fi rst at the District 3 competition last No-vember.

Petherick spoke about the many wom-en who keep the Homecraft Division vi-brant.

“Our group of very energetic and ded-icated ladies are pleased to support the various events of the organization with donations of food, talent and time. With our annual quilt draw and food booth fundraisers we are able to contribute

to the general board coffers,” she said, thanking fair board members for gener-ous donations of desserts and pies at least three times a year for various events.

Thanking Betty Wickman and her crew for preparing and serving the turkey dinner at the AGM and Empire Cheese for their donation of cheese for the meal, she noted that there are only about 100 of the fair board’s cookbook with its award winning recipes, still available.

“Thank you to the Homecraft la-dies for making the presidential tasks easier this past year and especially to Angela Runciman for her excellent organizational skills, vast fair knowl-edge and assistance during the year,” Petherick said.

“The Homecraft Division will endeav-or to continue the tradition of bringing the country and town together by promoting our rural heritage, agricultural enlighten-ment, and education through our exhibits and displays.”

This year’s fair takes place August 8, 9 and 10.

Editorial – It has taken a little longer than it did after the 1848 revolutions in Europe, but on the third anniversary of the Egyptian revolution we can definitely say that the “Arab

Spring” is finished. The popular, most-ly non-violent revolutions that tried to overthrow the single-party dictator-ships and absolute monarchies of the Arab world had their moments of glory, but the party is over and the bosses are back.

In many places the Arab revolution-aries had startlingly quick successes at first – Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen – just like the French, German, and Italian revolu-tionaries did in Europe’s “Springtime of the Peoples”. For a time it looked like

everything would change. Then came the counter-revolutions and it all fell apart, leaving only a few countries permanently changed for the better like Denmark then, or Tunisia in to-day’s Arab world.

The disheartening parallels are particularly strong between Egypt, by far the biggest country in the Arab world, and France, which was Europe’s most important and populous country in 1848. In both cases, the revolutions at first brought free media, civil rights and free elections, but also a great deal of social turmoil and disorientation.

In both France and Egypt the newly enfranchised masses then elected presidents whose background alarmed much of the population: a nephew of Napoleon in one case, a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in the other. And here the stories diverge for a time but the ending, alas, does not.

In France, President Louis Napoleon launched a coup against his own presidency, and re-emerged in 1852 as Em-peror Napoleon III. It had been a turbulent few years, and by then a large majority of the French were willing to vote for him because he represented authority, stability and tradition. They threw away their own democracy.

In Egypt last year, the army allied itself with former revo-lutionaries to overthrow the elected president, Mohamed

Morsi and within a few months, after an election which will genuinely represent the wish of most Egyptians to trade their new democracy for authority, stability and tradition, Field Marshal Abdel Fatah al-Sisi will duly assume the presidency. The counter-revolution is as popular in Egypt now as it was in France then.

And if you fear that this analogy is really relevant, then here’s the worst of it. After the defeat of the 1848 revolutions, there were no further democratic revolutions in Europe for twenty years. If that timetable were also to apply to the Arab world, then the next round of democratic revolutions would only be due around 2035. But it probably doesn’t apply.

There is one key difference between the European revolu-tions of 1848 and the Arab revolutions of 2011. The 1848 revolutions were violent explosions of popular anger that suc-ceeded in hours or days, while those of 2010-11 were largely non-violent, more calculated struggles that took much longer to win. Non-violent revolutions give millions of people time to think about why they are taking these risks and what they hope to get out of it.

They may still lose focus, take wrong turns, even throw all their gains away. Mistakes are human, and so is failure. But once people have participated in a non-violent revolution they are permanently politicised, and in the long run they are quite likely to remember what they came for.

The most promising candidate to succeed Gene Sharp as the world authority on non-violent revolutions is Erica Cher-noweth, a young American academic who co-wrote the study “Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Non-Violent Conflict” with diplomat Maria Stephan. A lot of their book is about why non-violent revolution succeeds or fails, but most interesting of all are their statistics about how often it succeeds.

Their headline statistic is that violent revolutionary strug-gles succeed in overthrowing an oppressive regime only 30 percent of the time, whereas non-violent campaigns succeed almost 60 percent of the time. By that standard, the Arab world is certainly under-performing.

The Arab Spring three years on By Terry Bush

Editorial - You remember the “Newhart” show back in the 80s that starred Mary Frann and her sweaters. I’m not talking about “The Bob Newhart Show” which ran in the 70s or the short-lived “Bob” show which ran in the 90s or the “The” show that was on in the early 2000s. I made up that last one but there’s still time if Bob wants to give sitcoms one more shot.

The Newhart I’m taking about also starred Tom Poston as George Utley, the handyman at Bob’s New England inn. I can vaguely remember an episode where the whole town was in an uproar because George was considering cheer-ing for a new baseball team because he was fed up with, and correct me if I’m wrong, the Boston Red Sox. While discussing his dilemma with Bob, it was suggested that the Toronto Blue Jays might be worthy of George’s support. George however, didn’t think he could cheer for the Blue Jays because, despite the fact that they were pretty birds, they were just too bossy and pushy around the feeder.

I know how George feels.On any given year, we welcome a wide variety of fine-feathered friends

to our feeders for a bite to eat. Now with over a foot of snow on the ground, feeding the birds has become a daily ritual. Last year we had all kinds of gold finches, disguised in their somewhat dull winter plumage. We also enjoyed as-sorted sparrows and house finches, a few blue jays, a dozen or so chickadees, some downy and hairy woodpeckers, the occasional grosbeak and even the neighbourhood pileated woodpecker stopped by for a morsel or two. Dropping by on a daily basis were eight red squirrels and a couple of black squirrels. Everyone pretty much got along too. With such diversity, it was almost a joy to wash the pots and pans as most of the activity took place right outside the kitchen window.

This year we have blue jays ... big fat ones.While I agree with George Utley that they are pretty birds, I could easily live

without them. At 7 a.m. each morning there are two jays waiting by the feeder. As soon as they see me, they sound the alarm and within seconds, 30 of the darn things arrive to take over the place. I’ve tried throwing sunflower seeds off to one side to keep them happy while I put out some finch mix in another location but what do they do? They go and eat all the finch mix and then head over to the sunflower seeds to make sure nobody else gets fed. We throw old kibble out to try to distract them and they gobble it up, eat the finch mix and then eat all the sunflower seeds.

So, because the feeders are a little boring this year, I’ve taken to trying to feed other things. With a winter like this one, everyone could use a little help.

When my wife Mare had the unfortunate experience of hitting what she thought was a lump of brown snow in the centre of the road, we took that grouse and put it on a trail that a little fox used. Within a couple of days, the grouse was history. When more snow and ice made it even more difficult to forage, I put some kibble in the same location to lend the fox a helping hand. Because it usually dropped by at night, I set up a trail cam to see if we could get some photos. And when I excitedly plugged that card into my computer what did I find ... close to ten blue jays. Even so, I figured it was worth another shot.

More kibble, more blue jays. When I took the camera down, we were re-warded with a couple of holes that the fox had dug looking for the food it could smell but not see. So I turned my attention to feeding the deer as they’re having a tough go this winter. I set the camera up again in a different location and laid out the deer ration. I was excited when I saw over 200 photos had been taken over two days. That excitement quickly vanished when the computer revealed a dozen blue jays in various stages of flight.

Trying to solve my ongoing problem, I moved my operation to the middle of a cedar bush figuring there was no way those darn birds would see it; more jays.

So, thanks to the blue jays, I’ve pretty much given up trying to feed any other animals this winter. I’m sure at this stage of the game my wife is thinking I’m on my way to going a little nuts. Anyone pulling into our driveway would no doubt concur if they caught sight of the crazy person constantly yelling and waving his arms in the kitchen window.

As the next door neighbour said on Sunday, “The blue jays around my place are as big as grouse this year.” I said that’s because they’re eating me out of house and home.

It’s gotten so bad, I’ve almost started to have fantasies about Italians and not the type that look like Sofia Loren. I mean the ones from Toronto we constantly had to chase off our property back in the seventies when they came to shoot anything that moved even blue jays. I’m not quite to that point yet but I am so far gone that I laugh when the turkeys show up under the feeders to vacuum everything up. Expensive maybe, but it does my heart good to see something get the best of the blue jays now and then.

Shades of Newhart

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor,It has taken the municipalities a very long time to finally

react to the corruption of the provincial government regard-ing energy costs but it now looks as though the dam has fi-nally burst.

Both Havelock-Belmont-Methuen and Trent Hills’ councils have come out in protest of the province’s intention of raising hydro costs another 42 per cent over the next five years. This, of course, is just more political strategy in defence of the lib-left’s general mismanagement of the economy and so they can continue to bankroll their now infamous Green Energy Act come hell or high water.

This Liberal government believes it has the right to use your hard-earned tax dollars to subsidize its plan to build wind turbines and solar panels, which won’t even make a small dent in our energy crisis situation for at least another 50 years. However, the Liberals aren’t really concerned about doubling or tripling hydro costs on seniors or residents on fixed incomes. They seem to be saying let them freeze in their homes during the cold winter months if they are opposed to joining the green generation.

Trent Hills’ Mayor Hector Macmillan got the municipal protest campaign going a few weeks ago and now HBM has added its voice to the protest. Macmillan has written to the Ontario Ombudsman to protest the absolutely ridiculous plan

to skyrocket the hydro rates into the stratosphere. The HBM resolution calls for an independent review of Hydro One and how it operates.

That review should include the management salary struc-ture and a financial statement showing exactly where all the money goes. Consumers shouldn’t just be taken for granted anymore. I want to know, in particular, just how much of our hydro dollars are going to bribe investors into subsidizing wind turbines and solar panel construction.

Why is it that our representatives provincially and feder-ally are not acting in the best interests of the people who elect them? Hydro One appears to operate basically without scru-tiny or accountability.

HBM Mayor Ron Gerow summed it up accurately when he noted: “We need to take a look at the overall costs of op-erating and providing electricity to the residents of Ontario at affordable rates that are sustainable.”

It’s about time to change the old “business as usual” pat-tern when it comes to an affordable supply of energy in this province. In the meantime, it’s extremely important for all of the municipalities to keep the pressure on the province to do something useful for the taxpayers rather than acting simply in their own best political interests.

The dedication came as a surprise to the Branch 300 Life Member, veteran and lifelong history afi cionado whose primary goal in spearheading the drive to transform portions of the upstairs wing of the Branch into a museum was to create a place where area students could learn more about the community’s military history.

School classes have indeed been the chief benefi ciaries of Gordon’s diligence and the volunteer work of other Branch members who have turned a room full of junk into an impressive collection of artifacts that stretch from the Boer War to modern times. The hallway has also been converted into an historical gallery and Gordon has been given the go-ahead to use the stairway to the upper fl oor to display museum pieces.

The museum so impressed the Peterborough Historical Society that it presented Branch 300 with its prestigious Samuel Armour Heritage Award last year. Gordon was on hand to accept the award in the 177-year-old Keeping Room of the Hutchinson House Museum.

“I think it’s wonderful what he’s done, he’s done a great job,” Norwood District High history teacher Norm Vandenberg said.

Vandenberg has brought several classes to the museum over the past two year as part of his grade ten Canada and the Twentieth Century class.

“Students always come away very pleased

with what they see,” he said during an end-of-semester visit by his class.

“I like that there’s a local connection; they’re studying World War I and World War II and when they come here it makes it more real for them when you get those local stories too.”

Vandenberg, himself a recipient of the Trent University Award for Leadership through Education and a shared recipient of the Historica-Dominion Institute’s national heritage award, says visits by students to the museums and conversations with people like Gordon “bring the subject alive.”

Vandenberg’s students help lay wreaths during the November 11 Remembrance Day ceremony at the Norwood Cenotaph and that is an additional reminder of how many local residents fought and died in the world wars.

“I tell them that all they have to do to see the connection is look at the Cenotaphs in Havelock, Norwood and Hastings and see the number of names from small communities who didn’t come back.”

And many of the names are immediately recognized by students, he adds.

“There is a very strong local connection.”Students also learn the value of preserving

history.Vandenberg says it’s important for people

to go through their attics and save artifacts and memorabilia “and get things on display.”

Impressive NDHS video reveals how much happens at schoolBy Bill FreemanNews – Norwood – To those in the know it’s no secret that Norwood District High punches well above its weight class and offers a spectrum of programs and extra-curriculars that schools double the size would be hard-pressed to match.

The challenge has always been to reach those people in the community and beyond who don’t have a connection to the school.

Well, a brand new video unveiled at a grade eight parents night and at a Friends of NDHS meeting should go a long way towards bridging that gap. The video is intended to make people more aware of the broad range of courses, programs and events taking place at the school.

“It’s very impressive,” Friends chair Verna Shackleton said after NDHS guidance head Todd Murray showed the video. “That’s exactly what we’ve been

talking about.”The small group has been looking

for ways to champion the school and convince more students to attend the community high school, which competes increasingly with Peterborough public secondary schools like Kenner Collegiate and Thomas A. Stewart as well as Catholic high school Holy Cross. Grade eights from tiny Hastings Public School are torn between NDHS and Campbellford District High.

“It’s awesome,” Asphodel-Norwood mayor Doug Pearcy said. “I think everybody should see that; a lot of people don’t know about this stuff.”

Building up community pride in the school is crucial, Pearcy says. Students are already proud of their school; the challenge is infecting others with a similar sense of appreciation.

“Something like this is a good vehicle.”

The video, made by Murray, includes dramatic music, photos and and wide-ranging overview of what students can fi nd at NDHS.

“There’s still a lot more there to talk about,” said Murray, citing the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association girls’ rugby championship, which the school hosted and where the Lady Knights earned a bronze medal.

The video is a perfect tool for “stimulating some thinking and discussion,” says Shackleton, and should be shown in as many places as possible including to the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board.

“We want more people to see it.”Murray says it will be posted to

You Tube and could be linked to the township’s website.

Havelock-Belmont-Methuen council would also like to see the video, HBM deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe said.

It should also be shown on the lobby television at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre, said Sharpe.

“So many people use the arena.”Friends member Bernadette

Vanderhorst has a daughter at NDHS and is aware of the diversity of programs but admits that “when you see it all come out on the video” even parents with

children at the school are surprised.“The biggest challenge is convincing

parents it is the best choice,” Murray says.

It’s “frustrating,” he said, when you know how good a job staff do and what they offer students in a small, student-centred setting.

NDHS competes against other public high schools, who also promote their programs and grade eights are sometimes drawn to those schools by older siblings or friends.

It is disappointing that there are a number of Havelock Belmont grade eights who are leaning towards TASS, Murray said.

However, future numbers for grade nines look good and could be as high as 75 next year; there are currently 54 grade nines at NDHS.

“I think we’re doing a great job.”It’s a matter of convincing prospective

students and their families that the educational experience they will receive at NDHS equals and is often better than at a larger school.

Exercise group takes blahs out of winter

Rita Pogue, back to camera, leads a twice-weekly exercise class at the Victoria Street seniors’ apartments in Hastings. Photo: Bill Freeman

By Bill FreemanLifestyles – Hastings – “It’s good for everybody no matter what age,” says Rita Pogue of the gentle balanced fi tness program she leads at Victoria Street seniors’ apartment building in Hastings twice a week.

The program, offered through a partnership between Community Care and Closing the Gap’s Lindsay offi ce, focuses on the “basic building blocks of strength, endurance and fl exibility” and Pogue says it is a good counter to this winter’s severe weather which has kept many seniors indoors.

The exercises are low impact but with a much bigger pay-off.

“We do a little bit of strength on Fridays and on Wednesday we get up and incorporate a little bit of balance strength. We stand up behind the chairs and do a lot of fl exibility, working the joints. We try to touch every joint, from head to toe, and just get people moving,” said Pogue, who leads a similar class at Applewood Retirement Residence in Peterborough where she also works with a physiotherapist.

“Lots of people say it’s helped them already and we’ve only been doing it for two weeks. It’s just gentle moving, getting those joints going that haven’t been moving for a long time.”

It’s also about “doing things they normally wouldn’t do in every day work.

“You stop reaching up when you get older because there’s no need a lot of time. (This) gets the shoulders going,” Pogue said.

The program is designed to encourage participants to do some of the exercises at home.

“Nothing’s too diffi cult,” said Pogue.There is also some concentration on posture,

“just a few correcting things.”“When we get older we go forward a lot,” she

said.Increasing fl exibility does help when tackling

the rougher terrain thrown up by this winter’s snow and ice and it can also prevent strains.

“When the terrain is so rough the ankles have to learn to bend a little bit,” Pogue said. “If you don’t have your ankles you don’t have good balance. It’s just so dangerous out there. When its bumpy terrain just get those feet ready to go up and down.”

Pogue uses exercise bands with many of the movements completed sitting down. The bands are versatile and can be used for a variety of increasingly challenging exercises.

“With the bands you can make it as hard as you need; if you’re a little bit stronger than someone else you can make it a little bit diffi cult.”

This week the Cat Care Spay Neuter Initiative has two amazing kittens. They were born in the backyard of a home in Campbellford and their mother did the best she could by them but it was a rough life. When CCSNI was called to rescue them it was at a time when they were only a few weeks old. Foster parents took them in, adding to the many they already had rescued, making finding a home very important. Sally is the calico and Rusty is the buff coloured boy. They are 7 months old now.

Sally (our gal Sal) is a precious little lady who loves to romp and play. Sally is a very sweet gentle girl who loves to sleep under blankets. She gets along well with other cats and dogs. She is ready to go live with her loving forever family....could this be you?Rusty is a very handsome lad. His colouring is so beautiful. He is a playful little guy who likes to peek from under pillows. Rusty is a very gentle quiet boy. Rusty will make you smile daily and bring years of fun and laughter to your family. Please check our website to see our cats and kittens for adoption at www.catcarespayneuter.com or call Suzanne at 705-559-1899 (Havelock) or Donna at 905-355-5164 (Colborne). We are offering reduced adoption fees - kittens $75 and cats $50 which includes spay/neuter, rabies and first FVRCPC vaccines, deflea and deworm. We do have an application process that normally takes 2 - 5 days. We are always in need of cat food, litter and foster homes. Thank you for supporting Cat Care Spay/Neuter Initiative.

You and Me Baby a strong support program for moms, caregiversBy Bill FreemanLifestyles – Hastings – The pop-ular You and Me Baby program at the Ontario Early Years Centre provides parents and caregivers with infants up to 18 months of age with a range of resources, in-formation and informal support.

“It’s really geared to the needs of a particular group of moms and caregivers,” program leader Sam Kelly said of the group that has been meeting weekly in Hastings. Other sessions are offered at the Campbellford OEYC.

“It’s just about providing in-formation and resources to moms and caregivers with young babies specific to what their needs are at the time,” Kelly says. “I polled the group a little bit in the first week to see what issues they’re facing

Development charges to double in five years

John CampbellNews – Trent Hills – Devel-opment charges for new single dwelling units will be phased in over five years to double what they are now.

Council could have gone even higher than the $8,000 it agreed to recently, based on calculations done by consultant Bob Clark showing an increase from the current charge of $4,000 to $10,467 would be justified, to offset the costs of anticipated growth.

In his update of a report on development charges he did five years ago, Clark took into account projected costs associated with a number of areas, such as public works, fire protection, recreation and culture, and environmental services, and what percentage is due to growth.

He estimated the municipality’s permanent population will grow by 1,166 people in the next decade, to 13,889 by the year 2022. (The population increased 357 people between 2006 and 2011.)

“We’ve been fairly generous with the growth that we’ve allowed,” Clark said. “It’s entirely possible our justified number is also on the low (side).”

The Development Charges Act requires that costs of growth be “fairly distributed between new and long-term residents.”

Director of planning Jim Peters said in a report to council that having development charges in reserve “enables the municipality to invest in infrastructure and other services, for the benefit of residential and business growth.”

Councillor Kim McNeil said she had “trouble getting sense of what kind of effect” the charges could have on future development and the impact changes would have on developments that have been approved but not fully underway.

Peters recited several projects involving hundreds of lots that are in various stages of being turned into reality across the municipality.

“We are just about at our limit for development under the growth plan (for this part of Ontario), and I think you want to get as much as you can out of these developments,” said Peters, who recommended $8,000 and the phase-in period.

“None of them have balked at our development charges when they’ve come to us so far.”

Mayor Hector Macmillan said “contractors all lined up and said you’ll have no development here,” when council re-introduced development charges in 2008, but they “certainly didn’t slow it down ... (They) had no negative impact.”

When McNeil asked what council’s goal was in setting new charges, Macmillan replied: “What the market will bear.”

A chart Clark included in his report showed development charges for new single-family dwelling units with sewer and water already exceed $8,000 in Brighton ($8,889) and Alnwick-Haldimand ($10,913).

and the information they’re look-ing for.”

It’s also an “opportunity to meet other parents, share ideas and gain support,” she adds.

Kelly works closely with the Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit’s Cathy MacDonald who has also visited the OEYC for sessions.

“The health unit is a great re-source; they join our group as a guest speaker.”

The program usually begins with a visit by the health unit.

Kelly says the program is “sometimes just a good chance (for parents or caregivers) to do something on their own with the baby when they don’t get a lot of opportunity to do that with sib-lings at home, especially at this time of year when you’re not going to parks and meeting with other families.”

Key to success is its informal-ity and sharing ideas.

“It’s not just the information I can provide,” says Kelly, “but

also the networking with other moms.”

For first-time mothers it’s a re-assuring chance to talk to women who have been through the same challenges.

“They feel like they’re not alone if they’re frustrated with a baby struggling to sleep at night; we have a discussion and realize these moms are struggling with the same thing.”

Kelly says first-time mothers realize they’re not doing some-thing wrong “that it’s normal for a baby at this age.”

For the Hastings group there have been “lots of issues over sleep.”

During one recent session Kelly talked about infant and child safety using a PowerPoint quiz developed by the British Columbia Children’s Hospital and covered topics like car sets, baby-proofing a home, choking and poisoning.

The presentation was a “great way to generate conversation

on safe practices at home and an opportunity to share relevant resources with the group,” she said.

MacDonald of the HKPR will be talking to the group about treating infant colds, fevers and the flu and when to call their fam-ily health care provider. She will also talk about immunization schedules etc.

While Kelly is able to provide information directly to partici-pants she stresses that the OEYC can connect any parent or care-giver to the resources they need either through her, the health unit or other agencies.

“The great thing about the health unit is that it is often the same nurse so there is a relation-ship that has developed. There is a comfort level of the parent calling and knowing exactly who they are going to be talking too. They are encouraged to call the health unit if there is something we have not been able to provide while they are here.”

By John CampbellNews – Campbellford – Campbellford Memorial Hospi-tal Foundation has drawn closer to its goal of raising $650,000 for a digital mammography ma-chine with a $10,000 donation by RBC Royal Bank.

“It’s no secret we’re close to completing the campaign,” CMH Foundation executive di-rector John Russell said.

“We’re incredibly proud to be supporting the local hospital,” said Mike Belliveau, RBC’s

regional vice-president for the Kawartha-Lakeshore region.

“As a major financial institution

we have a corporate responsibility to be reinvesting in our communi-ties ... There’s a lot of hard work happening behind the scenes in our local hospitals and they don’t always get the support that some of the bigger hospitals do and it’s our responsibility to make sure that we’re looking after all the communities that we’re in.”

“We’re quite pleased, the bank has supported us over the years with many projects, including the CT (scanner),” Russell said.

The local banks “are pretty

good to us.”The donation was made through

the Flourish Trent Hills Wellness campaign, a five-year fundraising campaign organized by the hospi-tal foundation, the Campbellford-Seymour Community Founda-tion, and the Municipality of Trent Hills. The foundation is using the money it collects for the purchase of hospital equipment.

The room where the still-active, 13-year-old, film-based mammography machine is locat-

ed will be renovated. Preparations include the removal of the dark room that was used to develop the X-ray pictures, which will free up more work space for the three staff members.

“Digital is the next step,” X-ray technologist Katy Mountain said. “It’s just the way the technology is going.”

“Doctors insist on it,” Russell said.

Mountain said digital mam-mography produces better qual-

ity images for women with dense breasts and women who are younger.

The images can be sent elec-tronically via a confidential link to nearby hospitals when people are sent for further testing, biopsies and surgeries,” Mountain said. “There’s less risk of images being lost because they’re always stored forever in the computer. We can burn an image on a disk and they can take that with them and we still have our original copy.”

“We’re quite pleased, the bank has

supported us over the years with many projects, including the CT (scanner)”

ENTERTAINMENT

By John CampbellNews – Campbellford – It’s taken longer than expected but the Camp-bellford Cultural Centre is about to welcome its first tenant.

Westben Art Festival Theatre Inc. will start moving in next month, plan-ning director Jim Peters said, and the municipality will begin holding com-mittee meetings at the former town hall that’s being renovated at a cost of about $745,215.

The project, which officials had hoped would be completed by the fall, was delayed until October, to allow for the required funding to be sorted out.

Trent Hills is providing the bulk of the money, $386,000, from reserves, while the federal government is kick-ing in $235,295, and the province $128,700.

Last week council signed a five-year lease that sets out how Westben and the municipality are to share use of the two-storey brick building at 36 Front St. S. that’s almost 80 years old.

Westben will pay $5,000 a month for shared space on the main floor along with a box office and administrative of-fice, use of the second floor, which in-cludes a combination music room/board room, and storage in the basement.

The first floor includes the area where council will hold future meet-ings, with the first one set for the latter part of March. Council has been meet-ing in Hastings.

Westben will be able to reduce its costs, which includes a portion of the utilities, by being responsible for secur-ing and managing any use of the shared space by third party users, individuals or organizations “whose purposes are primarily focused on enhancing the arts and cultural sector of the community.”

The not-for-profit theatre group will receive 60 per cent of the fees that us-ers pay.

Westben is being given control “be-cause they’re going to be there more than we are,” Peters said.

The planning director said there will be seating for 50 for council meet-

New cultural centre set to open doorsings, which usually draw few people, but “we could squeeze in up to an hun-dred,” should an issue be of sufficient interest to attract a large crowd.

“It’s designed with good acoustics,” Peters said, so no built-in sound system is planned, although a portable wireless one might be considered if the need is shown.

We went back to council a cou-ple of times to ask for contingency but I would say that we’re no more than 10 per cent over the original tendered amount,” Peters said, “which you’ve got to expect on any project, especially (one involving) older buildings.”

By Richard TurtleStirling – With the announcement of its upcoming season, officials at the Stirling Festival Theatre are preparing for a year of music, comedy and more than a few origi-nal ideas.

Managing Director David Vanderlip says the theatre is looking ahead to an-other year of entertainment with a slate of shows that includes proven winners, mu-sical tributes, local young company talent

and productions that will appeal to all ages. The season wraps up in December with the naughty and family versions of the Christ-mas panto The Three Musketeers.

The new season officially begins with a pair of shows aimed at decidedly different crowds. Two nights of 50 Shades of Caba-ret, featuring JP Baldwin and Debbie Col-lins, on February 14 and 15, will run either side of the matinee production of Seuss and Goose. The 50 Shades show is billed as a

naughty but nice cabaret, while Seuss and Goose will use puppetry to shine a light on some nursery rhymes.

The Young Company will take the stage for its first show of the season during the March break when Fairy Tale Ending: The Big Bad Family Musical comes to the theatre. August will see the Young Com-pany perform the musical Footloose, which Vanderlip describes as “a fabulous show,” before its world premiere of the new Ca-

Theatre promises mix of music, mystery, comedynadian musical Lord of the Fries, written by Jeremy Hutton and Kieren MacMillan, opens in October.

Also in October, the theatre will host a staged reading of the currently untitled Community Historical Play. Part of the script development process, the reading scheduled for October 4, will also include a question and answer session involving many of the show’s creators.

Theatre patrons also have a variety of musical evenings to choose from in 2014, which will feature a selection of some of the most memorable songs by some of the world’s best known artists. Shows include The Legendary Patsy Cline, Great Balls of Fire!, Hotel California, Abbamania, Teen Idols of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Night Fever, Frank Sinatra Tribute, Brilliantly Bacharach, El-vis and The Legend in Black.

Performances from the golden age of country music, including Saturday Night at the Grand Ole Jamboree in June and the

April arrival of the Classic Country Road Tour featuring James Ryce and Top Shelf, are expected to be crowd favourites as well, Vanderlip says.

Vanderlip also notes that multiple dates for the popular shows Forever Plaid (July) and You Give Me Fever (September) are planned this season, along with perfor-mances by Debbie Collins and Dean Hol-lin who will pair up for the show, Mixed Doubles, in June.

The season also offers Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre, comedy shows including Red Skelton’s tribute Good Night and May God Bless, Buddy Wassisname and the Other Fellers and The No Foul Language Stand Up Comedy Tour and more music from Bravura, The Commodores’ Orches-tra and at Sharron Matthews Christmas Party.

Full information is available on the the-atre website or by contacting the box office at 613-395-2100.

By Richard TurtleEntertainment – Stirling – While the vast majority of shows appearing on the Stirling Theatre stage feature professional performers with years of experience, officials there also pro-vide opportunities for some of the ar-ea’s newest talents to experience their first moment in front of the crowds with a range of shows throughout the season.

In recent years, explains Managing Director David Vanderlip, the theatre has placed growing emphasis on the Young Company and its productions

with extremely positive results. Not only are Young Company members responding well to the demands of in-creasingly difficult material, he says, but the results continue to impress audiences and surpass expectations as interest in auditions and future shows continues to grow. Nancy Garrod, who often takes on the role of stage man-ager along with several others with the Young Company, has been a big part of numerous productions and has experi-enced the enthusiasm and energy of company members many times over. And like Vanderlip, she has also seen

many first-time actors become famil-iar faces around the theatre in ensuing years. Along with Vanderlip and a cast of eight area students, Garrod is once again looking forward to more of the same as rehearsals recently began the March Break show, Fairy Tale Ending: The Big Bad Family Musical.

In the Young Company’s most re-cent offering, there is something not quite right about some well-known fairy tales as a list of storybook trios comes under scrutiny. We’ll meet the Three Blind Mice, The Three Little Pigs, The Three Billy Goats Gruff and

The Three Bears, Vanderlip says of the original Canadian musical by Kieren MacMillan and Jeremy Hutton, but the players will reveal a rather different story than might be expected. Also the target of investigation is The Big Bad Wolf, he says, but adds sometimes it is the apparent hero who turns out to be the worst villain of them all.

Fairy Tale Ending runs from March 11 to 15 with morning, matinee and evening shows scheduled and all seats priced at $10. For a complete list of times and dates, contact the theatre box office.

Cast members from the SFT Young Company prepare for the upcoming production of Fairy Tale Ending that will run during the March Break. The original Canadian musical was writ-ten by Kieren MacMillan and Jeremy Hutton.

Musician Ken Marsden, who is Scottish, led the celebration of Robbie Burns Day held at Island Park Retirement Community last week. He travels from his home in Barry’s Bay to about 15 of these events every January to enter-tain and celebrate the Scottish poet’s life. Addressing the haggis is part of the ceremony.

Helen Simpson, a resident at Island Park, joined the others who decided to try the haggis that was prepared for the Robbie Burns Day celebration. Photo: Submitted

A smiling Fran Douglas tasted the haggis during the celebration. Photo: Submitted

Adam Low, chef at Island Park Retirement Community for the past eight years, checks the haggis he prepared. A Scotsman “through and through,” he talked about the secret to a good tasting haggis. “Cooking good haggis, it takes a bit of time. You have to wrap it up nice and tight and cook it in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes a pound,” he said. Photo: Sue Dickens

Piping in the haggis was part of the celebration of Scotland’s famous poet Robert Burns: from back to front, Ken Marsden, musician and entertainer; Adam Low, chef at Island Park Retirement Commu-nity; and John Mullin, piper. All three Scotsmen spoke with pride of the special day. Photo: Sue Dickens

Residents at Island Park in Campbellford celebrate Robbie Burns Day

By Sue DickensNews – Campbellford - Addressing the haggis and paying the piper were two ceremonies that marked the celebra-tion of Robbie Burns Day at Island Park Retirement Community last week.

“We like to honour the great Scot-tish bard in the 1700s who fought to preserve Scottish culture and traditional Scottish language,” said Ken Marsden, who has entertained the residents at this event for years.

“Robbie Burns was a musicologist and a fi ddler. He was a humble plow boy who rose to be respected among the upper echelons of Scottish society,” he added, describing the famous poet from Scotland.

A musician in his own right, Marsden plays the guitar, fi ddle, standup bass and Jew’s harp.

He was joined by John Mullin, a piper who brought the sound of the bagpipes to the celebration, piping in the haggis.

Both are Scottish.Adam Low, chef at Island Park for

the past eight years, had spent the morn-ing preparing the 10 kg haggis and some shortbread for the celebration.

“The secret to a good haggis is thyme and sage and there’s lots of suet to keep it moist,” he said, while checking the oven.

A “Red Seal” chef who has been cooking for four decades, is also Scot-

tish.“In the old days the Lords

of the manor would get the nice pieces of the sheep and the rest was given to staff and the poor, who being Scots and being frugal added a lot of spices and oatmeal to make it taste good,” he explained.

“Robbie Burns was the greatest poet that ever lived . . . as you can tell, I am Scottish through and through,” he said with a grin.

He joined Ramsden and Mullin for the piping in of the haggis.

“This haggis represents

Scottish culture in a won-derful way. It represents the tenacity of the Scots,” said Marsen.

Mullin, who lives near Bancroft, and has been en-tertaining alongside Marsden for the past decade, has been piping for about 35 years. This was his fi rst appearance at Island Park, much to the delight of the residents.

“Today means a big cel-ebration, that’s what Robbie Burns Day is all about,” said Mullins.

Resident Nancy McColl agreed.

“I like them music and enjoy the activities here,” she said.

When asked if she has ever eaten haggis, she said, “Oh my gosh no!”

For many the traditional Scottish dish, made from the organs of a sheep that are chopped up, mixed with suet, onions, oatmeal, and season-ings, and boiled in the stom-ach of the sheep, is a must to eat to celebrate. For others, not so much.

Some of the residents wrinkled their noses when asked if they would be tasting

the haggis that day.Helen Rodgers, who has

been living at Island Park for about one year, is among those who tried the dish.

She is Scottish and was wearing a Scotch thistle brooch to mark the occasion last week.

“My grandfather was born near Aberdeen,” she said with a big smile.

“I enjoy events like this. I really like it here,” she said, admitting she has tasted hag-gis before.

“I liked it better than I thought I would.”

By Sue DickensNews – Trent Hills – Mock evacuations at nursing homes and seniors’ complexes are a regular occurrence here in Trent Hills, an exercise that is in place in case of emergencies such as the deadly fire that happened at a Quebec seniors’ home last week.

“You have to practise, the same as a hockey team would. If you don’t practise your power play when it comes time to use your power play, you don’t have it,” said Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake.

He was responding to questions about the readiness of firefighters if a similar event were to happen here.

“Our fire prevention team is really proactive. At our meeting next week this will be one of the topics of discussion.”

The fire department takes its role of fire prevention in the community very seriously.

By John CampbellNews – Campbellford – Ho-meowners thinking of selling or wanting to learn more about how to maintain a house proper-ly were given plenty of do’s and don’ts at a recent meeting of the Probus Club of Trent Hills.

A heat recovery ventilation (HRV) system, for example, “is the most misunderstood appli-ance out there,” certified home inspector Karen Cofield told about 100 Probus members and guests. Now common in new housing and major home reno-vations, according to Natural Resources Canada, HRV de-vices continuously exhaust stale indoor air containing pollutants and excess humidity and replac-

es it with fresh outdoor air.“This unit is the lungs of your

house,” Cofield said, changing the air inside the home every three hours. “Used properly, your house will become fit.”

However, if the humidity levels are set too high, it can result in issues with mold and mildew; dry air, on the other hand, “is extremely costly to heat,” she said.

Smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years, carbon monoxide detectors every seven years.

Furnace filters should be changed monthly – the right way.

“You’d be surprised” at the number of people who put them

Nursing homes, seniors’ complexes have emergency plans in placeWarkworth Community Nursing Home, are among those in Trent Hills that have active evacuation plans.

“They did a full scale evacuation on their own at Island Park, a mock evacu-ation, as if there was a fire and they did very well,” Chief Blake commented.

The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services issued a press release in May of last year stating that Ontario was the first province to make automatic sprinklers mandatory in care homes for seniors, homes for people with disabilities, and vulnerable Ontarians.

Other improvements include self-clos-ing doors, enhanced fire inspections and staff training and annual validation of fire safety plans by local fire services.

All licensed retirement homes and

most private care facilities will have up to five years to install sprinklers.

Some care and treatment facilities, in-cluding public long-term care homes, will have an 11 year phase-in period to coin-cide with redevelopment plans scheduled to be completed by 2025.

“We applaud the Ontario government for taking these steps,” said Chief Blake.

Jessica Holt, manager of Multicare Lodge told the Trent Hills Independent, “We do not have sprinklers but it is some-thing we are looking forward to putting into our building.”

“We are a low income not-for-profit building and to come up with $1/2 mil-lion to retrofit our building is the chal-lenge that we face.”

The lodge has 49 units.

“We have fire plans posted inside and are supported by a high tech fire system,” she said.

“As well we have been sitting with other members of community retirement homes and nursing homes developing strategic plans if a fire happens,” she noted.

April Faux, administrator at Burnbrae Nursing Home in Campbellford said, “We do fire drills three times a month.” The staff also holds mock evacuations regularly for its 43 residents, most of whom have mobility issues.

“I personally feel in good hands with local fire department,” she said.

“Sprinklers are something on the forefront . . . we did recently install au-tomatic door stoppers for residents,” she

added.Burnbrae is one of 18 homes owned

by OMNI Health Care.Jane Crane, general manager of Is-

land Park (owned by Specialty Living) told the Independent, “Resident safety is our first priority. We adhere to fire regulations and our staff are regularly trained on our emergency plans and procedures . . . We work closely with our local fire department to ensure that our fire plan is approved and up to date, and invite them to observe our drills, when possible.”

Island Park does have a sprinkler sys-tem.

According to the ministry more than 50,000 seniors live in about 700 retire-ment homes in Ontario.

in backwards, Cofield said. She recommended learning

where the main shut-offs are for water and hydro as well as the location of the sewer clean out which you will “need to know when something breaks.”

For people with electric baseboard heaters, she ad-vised keeping the heat “even” throughout the house, rather than turn it up at certain times for different rooms.

“It will cost you more if you try to heat at the last minute than if you maintain it a proper level,” Cofield said.

When hiring people to do re-pairs or renovations, make cer-tain they’re insured because if “they get injured while they are on your property, know that they can sue you quite quickly.”

You also need to “be very careful” who you hire because “there are unscrupulous people out there,” Cofield said. “You need to protect yourself.”

Cofield said water is the “worst enemy to every home” so down spouts should shed

water at least six feet away from the house, and her preference is for grass to be seeded right up to the foundation, rather than plants that require watering.

Fat should never go down the drain but put in a jar kept underneath the sink because in cold weather, it’s “like choles-terol in the arteries, it will plug up your septic system” and cost thousands of dollars to clean out, she said.

“Half of the stuff (she finds during an house inspection) is crazy, most of them are mainte-nance issues,” she said.

Quite a bit involves “im-proper plumbing,” Cofield said after the meeting, but she’s also seen insulation that was improp-erly installed and floor joists cut that compromised a structure’s integrity.

Getting a house inspection done when you’re preparing to sell will tell the owner “what the issues are,” she said. You then have “the opportunity to fix it or you lower your price” so there’s “less hassle with it.”

TRAVEL

Relaxing in Iceland’s renowned Blue Lagoon

By John M. SmithLifestyles - When I fl ew from Toronto to Iceland (via Icelandair), I landed at Ke-fl avik airport near Reykjavik the capital. It’s just over a fi ve hour direct fl ight, and I found that this intriguing destination was defi nitely worth a visit.

A bus ride (via Flybus) is the most convenient way to get from the airport into the capital city (and this bus shuttle can be pre-booked from right here in Canada, via the Internet: www.re.is/fl ybus). As the bus wound its way toward Reykjavik, I encountered an awesome, almost ‘other worldly’ landscape of lava rock, steam rising out of the earth, and distant snow-capped mountains. When I arrived in the capital city itself, I discovered that over half the population of the entire country resided in this area (this situation reminded me somewhat of Winnipeg, Manitoba, for more than half of the population of that entire Canadian province lives in that one city, too).

While in Reykjavik, I’d certainly recommend checking out the National Museum of Iceland, for its exhibits span the period of more than 1100 years of Iceland’s history in chronological order. It’s believed that Iceland was settled by Vikings around 900 AD. I found this museum to be very informative, and it

includes a hands-on section with games, costumes, and replica weapons. I’d also recommend a visit to the unique setting of Reykjavik’s beautiful City Hall on the shore of Lake Tjornin.

After exploring the city itself, I’d recommend taking a tour of more of this unique country via the “Golden Circle Tour” (which I’ve already written about in a previous travel article) and I’d also recommend a visit to Iceland’s nearby Blue Lagoon. After all, I believe that a visit to this renowned attraction is an integral part of any trip to this fascinating country and it’s very easy to reach. You can board a bus right at the airport that will take you there in about 20 minutes or you can make a stop on your way back to the airport before your planned departure.

I purchased my “Blue Lagoon Tour” ticket from Reykjavik Excursions (www.re.is/DayTours/BlueLagoon) while in the capital, and I was taken to the lagoon on my way to the airport (and my luggage was safely stored there while I bathed and enjoyed this facility).

I discovered that this popular lagoon is located right in the middle of a large lava fi eld, and it’s actually fi lled with hot water that comes from a nearby geothermal power plant. When the power plant was built, it was believed

products are available on site, and you can decide to enjoy some fi ne dining or even stay overnight at the nearby Blue Lagoon Clinic Hotel (just a fi ve minute walk away).

I visited this facility in the summer season, but I imagine

that it would be quite an experience in the winter, too, for I could then be bathing in this hot, healthy water while surrounded by snow!

For More Information: www.visitreykjavik.is; www.visiticeland.com

that the run-off water would quickly soak back into the earth, but the silica in the water forms a bottom layer on the ground and keeps it from being absorbed back into the ground fast enough. Therefore, it was decided that this water could be utilized for a spa and bathing area, and the Blue Lagoon was ‘born’ in 1991. This large, wondrous facility holds six million litres of geothermal seawater, which is renewed every forty hours and this steamy water is loaded with minerals, including silica and sulphur and is reputed to help people suffering from certain skin problems, including psoriasis. There’s no chlorine added because common bacteria don’t thrive in this ecosystem and you’ll fi nd the water temperature to be about 100 F/38 C, though you’ll fi nd varying hot and cold spots as

you move around. There are different depths and areas for relaxation, including ledges for sitting and small caves for privacy.

When I entered the facility, I was given a wristband with a chip. This allowed me entrance and use of the facilities and I could even wade out to the pool’s bar and buy an expensive drink using the chip and then pay for it when I left. There was also a café and a shop with Blue Lagoon health products for sale. The chip also helped me identify my locker number after my visit so that I could retrieve my stored clothes and I found rather powerful hair dryers in the change area so that I could at least partially dry my swim trunks before repacking them and going to the airport.

By Ray YurkowskiEvents – Brighton – The Heritage Advisory Com-mittee (HAC) is hoping history buffs will circle the last weekend in February on their calendars for the second annual Brighton His-tory Open House. And after a successful event last year, they’re saying this one will be even bigger and better.

Featuring people in our past, this time out, the fea-ture presentation from lo-cal historian Dan Buchanan will be on a separate night – starting at 6:30 p.m. on February 20 – when he’ll tell the tale of popular Co-drington physician Dr. Wil-liam Henry King, the only person to be hanged in Northumberland County.

The story revolves around a brutal murder. The victim: the doctor’s wife, who died on November 4, 1858, at the age of 25. Court proceed-ings determined she died from arsenic prescribed by her doctor husband. After the verdict, Dr. King was hanged outside the Cobourg courthouse on June 9, 1859.

Interestingly, Buchanan is a distant cousin to the in-famous Dr. King. Growing up at the family farm in Co-drington, Buchanan recalls hearing stories about his grandfather smashing the headstone to mark King’s fi nal resting place and bury-

ing the pieces. The evening also marks

the unveiling of a collec-tion of Dr. King artefacts thanks to Brighton resident Roger McMurray. They will be formally donated to the Proctor House Museum at the weekend event.

McMurray recalls pay-ing less than $50 for a box full of historic treasures at a Campbellford auction in 2004. When he got it home, he looked over the contents. Included was an August 1, 1931 copy of Maclean’s magazine, which featured a story entitled, “The Strange Case of Dr. King.”

“Human justice is not infallible,” wrote story au-thor W. Stewart Wallace. “It frequently happens that in courts of justice, through the vagaries of law or the perversity of juries, the guilty escape punishment; and, on the other hand, there have been not a few cases where the innocent have been found guilty. It has happened also, on occa-sions, that the right man has been found guilty for the wrong reason.

“An example of this last type of case is possibly to be found in the trial of Dr. William Henry King … at Brighton, Canada West, in the autumn of 1858.”

McMurray remembers hearing about King during

By John CampbellSports – Northumberland Coun-ty – Brighton will be the venue for two of the eight major events that will take place when the county plays host to the 2014 Ontario ParaSport Games four months from now.

East Northumberland Second-ary School is one of the locations for wheelchair basketball, along with the Cobourg Community Centre, and the municipality will also be part of the handcycling competition, with the Keeler Cen-tre in Colborne serving as the main staging area.

Brighton and Colborne will also be the location for training camps held for para-athletes who compete in paracycling at the national level, event organizers announced at a news conference held January 21 in Cobourg.

The training camps for para-cycling as well as sitting volley-ball (Cobourg) and soccer (Port Hope) were unveiled as the “sur-prise attractions” for the ParaSport Games, which will run from May 30 to June 1.

“We know spectators are in for some wonderful experiences at these Games,” said Paul Macklin, chair of the organizing committee

that is overseeing preparations for the fi rst major sports competition ever to be held in Northumberland.

Handcycling and two other up-and-coming parasport events, blind golf and amputee golf, will make their offi cial Games debut this year, joining the traditional parasport medal competitions in sledge hockey, wheelchair rugby, boccia, wheelchair basketball, and para-equestrian events.

“There are so many good ath-letes in these groups that are com-ing, it will be a great show,” he told the Independent later. “The whole thing is a feather in the cap (for the county).”

Archery and power-lifting will also be represented as demonstra-tion sports.

Macklin said his committee is “very happy” that eight “solid” sporting events will be held in Northumberland but discussions have taken place to add two more to reach “the optimum number” of 10.

However, “it’s a fairly compli-cated process to get someone to come” and it’s now in the hands of Sport Alliance Ontario, which determines the Games’ makeup, to decide which, if any, other compe-tition involving athletes with dis-

abilities will be added.Macklin encouraged people

to visit the website that’s been set up to promote the Games, www.2014parasportgames.ca, and view videos that have been made of some of the athletes that will be competing.

“You will be inspired by what you see and hear,” he said. “The quality of the individuals just is outstanding.”

Promotions chair Don Sellar said he was “really impressed by the attitude of the parasport ath-letes. They don’t see themselves as having a disability, they see them-selves as having different abili-ties.”

The county, which beat out three other communities to hold the Games, drew up an initial bud-get of $250,000 but Macklin said it will likely be less than that, with the help of the participating munic-ipalities who are providing support “in various forms,” such as not charging fees in some cases.

“We’re on schedule, every-thing’s going fi ne,” he said. “We’re very pleased with the progress.”

Blair McIntosh, CEO of Sport Alliance Ontario, praised the local Games organizers for having done “an amazing job” in living up to the

theme they chose for the competi-tion: “Raising the Bar – Together.”

The “great work being under-taken by the volunteers ... will give the athletes the opportunity to compete to the best of their abili-ties,” he said in a news release is-sued by the county.

Close to 300 athletes are ex-pected to take part in the Games, with another 60 to participate in the training camps, Sellar said in an interview.

Having national level athletes hold their training camps in the county offers the potential for other major sporting events being staged in Northumberland.

“It’s the county’s hope that they’ll fi nd that we have really good facilities here and will want to come back another year, and they’ll spread the word,” Sellar said. “This is the biggest sports event ever held in the county as far as we know, and we think it could lead to other sets of games down the road.”

Although no fi nal decision has been made, Macklin said he doesn’t believe spectators will be charged admission for any of the events, except the opening night ceremony, which “certainly is go-ing to be a fun event.”

Why was Dr. King hanged? Find out at Brighton history event

The last two pages of a nine-page, handwritten � nal prayer “selected and adapted for Dr. King, under sentence of death,” at Cobourg on June 6, 1859, three days before he was hanged. The document, “to be kept to my memory by my dear mother,” is signed “Wm. H. King M.D. (written by himself).” Here, King con� des “a special confefsion (sic) of past sins & especially of that great & terrible crime for which sentence of death has been righteously pronounced.”

County announces sports, venues for 2014 Ontario ParaSport Games

the Brighton Ghost Walks, held in the summertime at Proctor House.

“Everything clicked,” he said, in an interview last week. “These papers are a piece of local history and it’s some-thing that needs to stay in Brighton.”

The open house weekend continues from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on February 22 and 23, when the King Edward Park Community Centre will be trans-formed into a ginormous local history museum. Visitors will see displays and demonstrations depicting a large cast of local characters like Brighton busi-ness baron Sam Nesbitt, local apple industry tycoons George Solomon and

John Brown along with blacksmith Sam Hazelwood.

A list of participants at the weekend show includes the Brighton Heritage Advisory Committee, highlighting Hilton Hall; the East Northumberland branch of Architectural Conservancy of Ontario; three local Women’s Insti-tute chapters, highlighting rural wom-en; Proctor House Museum; Memory Junction; Brighton Legion; Masonic Lodge; Friends of Presqu’ile; private collectors of Brighton antiques and memorabilia; and a lot more. And best of all, admission to all of the events is free.

clinic, JEDM Therapies, last week.A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)

she was the first RMT to achieve the “Cer-tificate of Excellence in Assessment” from the Registered Massage Therapy Associa-tion of Ontario.

She has the education and techniques to provide her clients with therapeutic mas-sage, therapeutic ultrasound, inversion therapy and SpiderTech Taping, a form of kinesiology taping seen on many Olympi-ans.

Mechetuk is offering a service which is one on one and specific to each client.

“Your body is multiple things. My role is getting the big picture of every-thing to try to actually get to the root of what is causing the pain. Because if you only treat the pain I can give you a mil-lion massages and we’re not going to fix anything,” she told the Trent Hills Inde-pendent.

Her career as an RMT is not something she envisioned as Mechetuk had originally set her sights on becoming a teacher.

“All my life I wanted to be a teacher then I did my co-op at a public school here in town and I hated it. I think the co-op program is the best program that high school has to offer,” she said candidly. It’s that same program that helped her decide on her chosen career.

“The school put me in Therapacc (Phys-iotherapy & Rehabilitation Services), and I loved it. I loved making a difference in people’s lives,” she explained.

After graduating from Sir Sanford College’s three-year RMT program she worked out of her home and worked for Closing the Gap in Campbellford.

With the help of her father, Joe Mechetuk, who is a local contractor, the mechanic’s building she purchased on

Oliver Road was transformed into a clinic with two treatment rooms, a reception area, bathroom and additional space in the back.

“It was a real father/daughter project,” she said.

Her existing clients range in age from nine months to ninety years of age.

She charges an initial assessment fee of $80 for one hour of her time which in-cludes a treatment.

Subsequent treatments cost $65 for 45 minutes and $45 for 30 minutes.

Clients can be referrals or walk-ins.“I don’t really have any set hours. I am

trying to work with my client’s schedules doing a lot of evenings and I am available Saturdays occasionally,” she commented.

From “defying gravity” with an invert-er unit to SpiderTech Taping, the services she offers are extensive.

“A lot of people with low back pain have got a lot of benefit from inversion therapy because it separates that joint space for the discs to get fluid back in and helps put them back where they should be,” she commented.

She also offers therapeutic ultrasound.“The ultrasound leads to a tissue

change that helps people’s recovery rate,” she said.

“My whole goal is to get people off pain medication . . . that and help them outlive their bucket list.”

A sign on the wall of her new clinic says it all: “Happiness is not a destination it is a way of life.”

The new clinic is located at 111 Oliver Road and provides free parking.

For more information call 705-653-6038 or email [email protected] or check out her website at: www.jedmtherapies.ca

By Bill Freeman Sports – Norwood – Jenna Baptie and Dan Widdis will join some elite company when they head off to the Ontario Winter Games in Muskoka next month.

The top-flight Norwood District High badminton pair will suit up for the 12-mem-ber Central Ontario team at the Games, which is spread out over six different Muskoka-area communities and is ex-pected to draw 3,500 athletes in 25 sports. Bracebridge will host badminton.

This is Jenna’s second trip to the Winter Games and Dan’s first and they expect to see provincial level and even na-tionally ranked players in the tournament.

“It’s going to be really dif-ferent being in the fourth place-seed and playing against other teams,” says Jenna, who

was a spare at the last Games and spent time practising and cheering on her teammates.

“This will be a really good experience,” she says.

Jenna, a Central Ontario (COSSA) gold medalist aim-ing for an unprecedented third straight trip to the provincial high school (OFSAA) finals, says she will be familiar with many of the competitors from her OFSAA trips and club tour-neys.

She hopes to be able to play for Georgian College next year and is counting on her strong front court play and drop shots to give her an edge.

“I kept playing (the sport) and I really liked it; I don’t think I can stop now.”

Dan will be an alternate on the Central Ontario team and says he’s “happy to help out because there are a lot of good players there.”

“Quickness around the court” is his strong suit.

“I can get around to spots. I like the skill that is needed to play and all the movements and speed of the game. It’s a lot faster than other games you can play. People think you can pick up a racket and play but there’s a lot more skill, place-ment, power and defense.”

Dan is “pretty pumped” about the upcoming high school season and teaming up with Jenna; their goal is a trip to OFSAA which would be a first for Dan.

NDHS coach Jeff Winslow says it’s “really impressive” that the duo made the Central Ontario team.

“It’s pretty much the top six players from here to Belleville to Ajax,” Winslow said.

The pair trains with the NDHS club as well as a club near Millbrook where they

play some of the best players in the province.

“They really focus on speed and footwork and repetition,” Winslow said.

“They’ll be in against the best and they will be able to hold their own. It will only help their game,” he said of the Games.

Jenna, he said, has an “unbe-lievable drop shot (and) her de-ception is pretty good. It’s hard to anticipate the types of shots she’s going to make.”

Dan is “so fast and quick” but needs to keep his “focus and competitiveness up.

“He’s such a nice guy that sometimes he forgets to be ag-gressive.”

The pair will be among the top-ranked in COSSA this year, says Winslow, and the Games will help them “see where they are and what they need to work at.”

Norwood got on the score-board early with Baptie’s first of the night at the 34 second mark of the first. Picking up as-sists were Nicholas Buchanan

and Dawson Turcotte.Nathan Dunn, from Gavin

Woodburn, made it 2-0 five minutes into the second period and went ahead 3-0 on Baptie’s unassisted marker at the 6:38 mark.

The Hornets added some in-surance from Eric Sicker early

in the third with assists to Bap-tie and Turcotte.

Orono’s Jacob Breen spoiled the shutout at the 8:23 mark.

Hornets coach Greg Hart-wick liked the team’s discipline with just one minor penalty in the game and seven for the en-tire series.

SPORTS

By John CampbellSports - Campbellford – Bad weather is playing havoc with the Campbellford Rebels’ schedule. Heavy snowfalls and swirling winds forced the cancellation of a home-and-home series with Dese-ronto last weekend.

But a bad stretch of games is also causing the team to slide in the Empire B Junior C Hockey League standings, as the team dropped a 6-3 decision to the Napanee Raiders January 21, for its third loss in four games.

The Raiders built a 3-0 lead in the game’s opening 17 minutes before the visiting Rebels got on the scoreboard with a goal by Ryan Crowley at 17:31.

Joshua Leavey pulled Campbellford to within one midway through the sec-ond period only to have Ryan Cassel-man restore the two-goal margin less than five minutes later.

Cole Hamilton made it close again early in the third but Napanee clinched the win when Bud Norris scored his sec-ond goal of the game at 9:27 and Cassel-man added his second into an empty net in the final minute.

The Raiders outshot the Rebels 44-40. Neither side scored with a man ad-vantage, going 0-for-7 combined. It was netminder Kevin Valdes’ fifth loss in regulation in 16 games.

Campbellford, which held down sec-ond spot less than three weeks ago, has dropped to fourth place and finds itself in a fight to hold onto a playoff berth. The Raiders have closed to within two points of the Rebels, who sit at 35 points but have played two fewer games.

Campbellford travels to Picton Thursday, to face a foe that has lost just two games all season, one of them to the Rebels.

The Amherstview Jets fly into Campbellford Friday for a 7:30 p.m. tilt. The visitors started out the week in second, just two points ahead of the Rebels and one up on the Port Hope Panthers, which shows how tight the race is among the four teams in the middle of the pack, with Picton and Deseronto positioned at the extreme ends. The Pirates have amassed 65 points while the Storm has mustered only six.

By Bill FreemanSports - Norwood - The Norwood J.J. Stewart Vipers had no answers for Cam Watson and the first-place Dundas Real McCoys who slammed the hometown Vipers 14 - 0 in Allan Cup Hockey ac-tion Sunday night.

Watson, a former OHA Junior B play-er of the year and Mid Western Junior League scoring champ, was a standout with the Western Michigan Univer-sity Broncos of the NCAA’s topflight Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA); he struck for a hat trick and added five assists in the blowout win which actually started out in competi-tive fashion with Norwood holding a 13 - 10 first-period edge in shots and trail-ing just 2 - 0.

But things fell apart in the second with Dundas firing in a pair of goals in the first 1:34 of the frame and adding six more over the course of the period including a hat trick by Justin Davis, a former OHL sniper who potted 54 goals in two seasons for the Ottawa 67’s then

starred for the Western University Mus-tangs before heading to Europe to play. Davis added three assists for a six-point night.

The Real McCoys, hosts of this year’s Allan Cup, added four more goals in the third period and outshot Norwood 30 - 15 in the final two periods.

Watson excelled in the elite CCHA regularly playing against players like Max Pacioretty (Montreal), Erik Con-dra (Ottawa), Jack Johnson (Colum-bus), Justin Abdelkar (Detroit), Andrew Cogliano (Anaheim), Erik Gustafsson (Philadelphia), Carl Hagelin (New York) and Tim Kennedy (Phoenix).

He adds solidity to a team that is built to win the Allan Cup and edged Brant-ford 3 - 2 Friday in the ACH’s game of the year so far at a packed Market Street Arena in Dundas. With his eight-point night he moves into second place on the ACH scoring board and now has 75 goals in 85 games over four seasons for the Real McCoys.

University of Vermont grad Scott

Mifsud, who leads the ACH in scoring, had three goals and three assists for the Real McCoys, while former University of Alabama-Huntsville Chargers player Joe Koudys had five points. Nick Smith (Florida Panthers) had a goal and two assists while Jordan Foreman (London Knights, ECHL) also had three points.

Jerry Galway (RIT Tigers) and Ryan Christie (Calgary Flames) also scored.

Vipers buzz: The Vipers Saturday night game in Whitby (12-4-0-2) was postponed because of bad weather. The Dunlops edged Stony Creek (9-8-1-1) 4 - 3 Sunday night and sit in third place, one point behind Brantford (12-4-0-1). The Welland Whalers (3-10-3-1) are in fifth spot. The Vipers have now gone 12 straight games without a win and have back-to-back games against Brantford this weekend with a home date Febru-ary 2. Despite being kept off the score sheet Vipers all-star centre Darren Do-herty (12-17-29) remains fourth in ACH scoring.

By Judy BackusSports – Marmora – A longstanding tra-dition continued in Marmora on January 22 when the annual Ladies Invitational Bonspiel took place at the local curling club. A full slate of teams arrived from Peterborough, Ennismore, Lakefield, Stirling, Campbellford, Norwood, and Marmora on a frigid day. They each played two eight-end games during the course of the day. Sponsors for the two draws were Kevin Maloney of KM Construction, who provided four pink hammers for the winners in the first draw and Mary Jane Goodchild, whose Queen Bee challenge resulted in prizes of golden honey.

Cash prizes of $200, $120 and $80, were awarded to the top three teams in each draw, with a wide selection of prizes for all donated by businesses in Marmora and Madoc.

Refreshments played a part in the fes-tivities with snacks available throughout and a hearty lunch of lasagna, salad, rolls and homemade goodies enjoyed

by all. A group of bow-tied men were on hand to work the bar and pour the wine at lunch.

Anne Marie McGregor, coordinator of the event who worked with other club members to host the bonspiel, said just before the first lunch was served, “It is great to have a full complement of 16 teams, and this year everything came to-gether as a result of the efforts of many. We are fortunate to have the continued backing of our sponsors, and of course the merchants of Marmora, Madoc and area who are always very supportive.”

When the last rock had been sent down the ice and swept into place, it was time for the awards with teams from Norwood, Peterborough and Campbell-ford placing first, second and third in the K.M. Construction first draw. Winners in the Queen Bee Trophy, which was the second draw, included one Lakefield team in first place, another Lakefield team in second with a team from Stirling placing third.

Winter storm doesn’t freeze out the annual Polar Bear Plunge in Campbellford

By Sue DickensEvents – Campbellford – A winter storm that brought high winds and blow-ing snow failed to freeze out the dippers at this year’s Polar Bear Plunge as 22 brave souls jumped into the icy waters of the Trent River.

“The fi rst thing I thought the fi rst time I did this was I couldn’t breathe for the fi rst couple of seconds. And as I came out of the water, I just couldn’t breathe and then after two seconds it was like being reborn,” said Maurice Goulet, of the Chilly Willies.

Last year he and John Russell, executive director of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation decided to take the plunge for the fi rst time.

Goulet, who is the manager of the hospital’s laboratory delighted the crowd again when he did the Penguin walk to the water’s edge before standing to face everyone and doing a freefall backwards into the Trent River.

Ice water rescuers were in the water just in case their expertise was needed.

“John is stuck in Cobourg today,” Goulet said.

The storm waylaid several of the plungers.

It was so bad that multi-vehicle pileups resulted in closure of the Highway 401 near

Port Hope, Cobourg and Brighton for two days in a row.

In spite of the loss of some of the dippers, the number remained consistent with previous years.

“There are so many things that are really out of your control, like the weather,” said Sharon Apted, before the event, worried that

the fundraiser wouldn’t be successful.This was her fi rst year as organizer.“Five I had signed up couldn’t make it

because of weather but others showed up and said I am going to jump,” she added.

“In fact we ended up with more than in some of the previous years.”

Josh Turner, Michelle Wright on their way to JamboreeBy Bill FreemanEntertainment - Havelock - Multi-million sell-ing singer Josh Turner and his famous voice will electrify the Havelock Country Jamboree when he takes the stage at the twenty-fifth anniversary mu-sical festival August 16.

The second youngest member of the Grand Ole Opry after Carrie Underwood, Turner has sold over five million albums and his hit Time of Love, from his most recent CD Punching Bag, was the top-selling single in all of country music in 2012.

He is joining a stellar lineup during the four-day silver anniversary edition of the famous country music camping extravaganza with the likes of Alan Jackson, Dierks Bentley, Suzy Bogguss and The Mavericks already announced and Canadian stars Michelle Wright, Doc Walker, Ambush, Charlie Major, The Good Brothers, fast-rising

Ottawa-area singer Jordan McIntosh and honky-tonk, outlaw country pickers Uncle Sean and the Shifty Drifters joining the party.

Also announced so far are Lisa Brokop, Blackjack Billy, The Gibson Brothers, Elizabeth Cook and the LoCash Cowboys.

Michelle Wright is one of Canada’s greatest country performers; a two-time Canadian Country Music Association fan choice winner and member of the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame. The Chatham, Ont., native has had six number one hits and added another 18 to the charts over her illustrious career and with Strong is touring behind her first album of original music in seven years with 11 new songs and one other that she co-wrote.

“I created this record with a group of friends I admire as writers, singers and producers,” Wright

(above) Country star Josh Tuner, with over five million albums sold, is the latest performer to sign on to the twenty-fifth Havelock Country Jamboree lineup.

says. “We had a lot of fun. The songs are a collection of my observations about life and the people around me and how we’re all just stumbling through it. At times there is laughter and joy; at other times, pain and disappointment.

“Overall, I hope this record is inspiring and relatable to my fans,” she adds.

Her fans will certainly be in Havelock when she steps on stage August 15, a day that will also include rockin’ shows by Alan Jackson, Ambush and The Mavericks.

Early Bird tickets for this year’s Jamboree are on sale until June 1 which includes weekend passes, preferred seating and camping packages. Preferred seating must be ordered through the office.

Winter storm doesn’t freeze out the annual Polar Bear Plunge in Campbellford

Money raised at the Polar Bear Plunge goes towards the purchase of a central monitoring station upgrade and portable vital signs monitor.

Total cost is about $58,000.“We’re hoping we get enough today

to put us over the top so we can give the hospital that piece of equipment,” Apted said.

The plunge was over in eight minutes as the dippers took their turns jumping in and racing back to the buses set up as warming stations.

A crowd of supporters dressed for the cold, cheered on the plungers.

No tally was available at press time.“Unless they fi re me I will probably

do it again next year,” Apted said with a big grin.

Sharon Apted, from left, took on the role of organizer for the � rst time at this year’s annual Polar Bear Plunge held in Campbellford by the Campbell-ford Hospital Auxiliary. Ice water rescuers Peter McMillan and Bryan Lem-oire (Deputy Station Commander) of the Trent Hills Fire Department were on site with other � re� ghters to make sure everyone remained safe.

Making a fast exit are some of the Peter-borough roller derby team. Quick on their feet they demonstrated their agility as they climbed out of the icy Trent River after taking the leap for the annual Polar Bear Plunge. The “Jamazons” included Brandy Wannamaker, Sherri Owen, Hilary Law, Jennifer Taylor, Mar-nie Guindon (Campbellford), Julie Caron and Jackie Turk. Hastings’ own Tanya McColl-Smith who was planning on participating su� ered an injury earlier in the week and couldn’t participate.

The Ice Rangers teamed up to raise money for the hospital in the annual Polar Bear Plunge adding some good old fashioned western know-how to make the event a success. Keeping their cool are: Earl McLean, Jim McLean, Charmaine McLean, Kelly Redden and Morgan Kerber.

Adding some international � avour to the Polar Bear Plunge, Rotary Ex-change student Verena Miranda, from Brazil, and her friend Rachel de-cided to participate.

Art of Dying rocker shares thoughts with students before joining Ship Rocked cruise

By Bill FreemanEntertainment – Norwood – It’s have guitar will travel in the best of ways for Cale Gontier of the powerhouse Canadian rock band Art of Dying.

The local musician was off to Nashville for a week to hang with the band before jumping on board the 965 foot-long luxury Norwegian Pearl for the unique ocean-going Ship Rocked tour where Art of Dying and a posse of bands including Three Days Grace, Papa Roach, Five Finger Death Punch, Living Color and Seven Dust will perform on one of the ship’s fi ve stages during a cruise from Miami to a private beach at Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas.

The beat-the-blizzards-ice-and-wind chill tour wraps with a concert on that beach at Great Stirrup Cay.

But fi rst the personable singer-guitarist dropped into the Norwood District High guitar class and jammed and talked with students.

Art of Dying has a strong following in American, where it spends a lot of time touring and Gontier, a former bass guitarist with Thornley, says fans can look forward to a new recording sometime this summer.

Gontier fi rst met the band during Canadian Music Week in Toronto where “they crashed at my place.

Art of Dying has joined Three Days Grace and a number of other bands on the Ship Rock cruise tour from Miami to Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas. Photo: Bill Freeman

“We just really hit it off and became really good friends,” he said.

They were in the process of making some changes and Gontier, who’d been with Thornley for fi ve years and was a guitar tech for Three Days Grace, joined on.

“It took off from there (and we) started touring.”The American tours have been fruitful and Music Junkie

Press is picking Art of Dying as one of 14 bands to watch in 2014 slotting them at number nine.

Gontier says there’s going to be a push to expand their reach overseas along with their growing American appeal.

He admits that it’s a bit of a “drag” that they don’t play more often in their home country but the reality of the scale of the American market makes it easier for bands to tour.

“There are ten times more people and ten times as many places to play,” Gontier said.

Asked if there were things that topped being on stage and rocking out in front of fans Gontier said being on the road with his friends and touring across the continent doing something

he loves is about the best thing anyone could ask for.

“The biggest rush of the whole thing is playing in front of a ton of screaming people.”

That energy is hard to fi nd anywhere else, he said.

“It’s been a long road to get here. I think we really worked because the fi ve of us are such good friends. We are a family.”

Gontier was a pretty good hockey player growing up in the Peterborough area but “music was always (his) fi rst choice.

“I think music was always where I was meant to go. We’ve been lucky to have some success. I think it’s a great road to go down, a great way to make a living. My best advice would be to just work hard at it; it’s like anything you have to put in the hours to get good at it.”

He encouraged students interested in a career to continue studying music after high school.

“Work hard at it and try to spend time singing and playing acoustic guitar at home. If you’re interested in getting a band together do that but keep going to school.”

Reality Check: LIFE

Are kids’ sports teams worth it?

So when I see parents in my social

The Good Earth: Odds and Sods # 1Lifestyles - Hello, Gentle Reader. This is the fi rst Odds and Sods column of the year. You might think that the dog days of winter would provide a bit of relax-ation and time for contemplation result-ing in a spectacularly brilliant column. Just not so. I fear this may be more of a social column than a gardening one. I remember reading the local paper, The Kemptville Advance, as a younger per-son and noting little items like: “Miss Betty Anne Jackson and Miss Ann Mc-Creary motored to Ottawa this Sunday past to visit with Miss Jackson’s Aunt Helen.”

Between that column and the telephone party-line system (we were two long, one short) it was rare to fi nd an uninformed rural chatelaine!

O&S No 1 Fund-raising concertsThis past weekend, I was privileged

to participate in a fund-raising concert for an orphanage in Haiti. Our group, The Lenses, and a very, very good Brighton duo, RandR, provided the musical entertainment. The hall was full and the raised funds were satisfyingly impressive. Thanks go to everyone from Brighton and community for your support. Organiser Sharon Graham and company will deliver every penny personally to the orphanage.

I’ll take a moment to remind you all of the Dave Gunning concert on February 9 in Trenton, in aid of children’s’ mental health. There are still some seats

available so please send me an email if you’re interested. [email protected] I’ll wait while you check him out on the Internet....

O&S No2 Winter mulchI would be surprised if you haven’t

already checked out the state of the trees on your estate, GR. At our workplace, we had dubbed 2013 as the Year of the Big Wind but 2014 has already put forward its challenge. We’ve had some ice storms and a few moderate snowfalls. Perhaps between the time of writing this column and the time you are reading it, there might be a signifi cant accumulation of snow. This is a very good time to stroll the grounds and look for places where the snow has not piled up. Is that windswept barren part of your perennial border, the site of your rhodo collection or the entire underneath of your cedar hedge? If so, you have some work to do. The three items mentioned are those most susceptible to damage in the latter stages of winter and fi rst capricious days of spring. Shallow roots will be stretched and stressed signifi cantly during the freeze/thaw cycles of those days. This is the time to apply some winter mulch. If you can fi nd some conifer branches, perhaps through pruning or maybe you still have your Christmas tree propped up in a snow drift, lay them over the bare spot and cover with snow. They will provide enough shade to keep the ground frozen until the danger is past.

Leaves and straw will work equally well and then be available for working into the soil later on. (The caveat here is that you don’t dig them in around cedars or rhodos lest you cause even greater root damage.) If none of these are available you might collect up the broken deciduous branches cluttering up everybody’s yards and lay them on the bare spot.

O&S No3 C a m p b e l l f o r d and District H o r t i c u l t u r a l Society.

I’ll be chatting with these good folks on the evening of February 3 at the Anglican Church Hall, corner of Kent and Church beginning at 7:30. I thoroughly enjoy these meetings as this is where I learn more about real gardening. The topic is soil amendments.

circle spending most weekends on the road to sports tournaments, and forking over huge amounts of cash in the process, I just don’t get it. It’s almost like I’m watching a foreign movie without subtitles. It doesn’t compute.

Once upon a time, of course, sports were easy. In the 1950s, my father-in-law and his friends would lace up their skates on a pond and play hockey all day. Soccer was just kicking a ball around in the local fi eld. But now everything is so regimented and expensive and complicated. And instead of being just a fun, informal thing, it becomes a Very Big Deal.

Certainly hockey is the Canadian birthright, and one shouldn’t question it, but have you ever done the math? If you have your child in a hockey league, it can easily cost $3000 a year per child. There’s the hockey equipment

and the team fees, which can often be $1000. But the real kicker comes with all the travel. Driving to games, paying for hotels, paying for food and grabbing a drink while you’re out really adds up. Even a relatively cheap sport, like soccer, can run into several thousand if the kids have to go out of town for games. Then, to add to the indignity, the clubs spend their lives fundraising, and as a parent you’re stuck selling 100 chocolate almond bars or bags of Florida oranges to everyone you work with.

But it’s not just the cost. It’s the time. I see families with two or more kids on different teams, and almost every weekend they’re heading out somewhere, often separately. Practices and games eat up multiple nights a week. When do you have dinner as a family? When do you do homework? When do you just relax?

I was at a friend’s fi ftieth birthday recently where a bunch of grandmas sat around the table comparing stories. One shared about her daughter and son-in-law’s schedule with three boys in hockey. She was fl abbergasted at how much money they were spending (they’re just racking up debt, she said), and how their lives were so chaotic. I asked her, “When do the parents get any time together alone?” “They don’t,” she chuckled ruefully.

Then last weekend the skies opened up and dumped so much snow on us that I can hardly see over our snowbanks. The police warned motorists to stay off the roads. There were over 1,700 collisions in Ontario on Saturday alone. And yet I know of several local sports teams where parents drove their kids to out-of-town tournaments and all the kids showed up. Facebook was littered with, “It was a really stressful

drive, but we made it!” Really? Parents risked their

children’s lives in the worst weather we’ve had all year, with highway closures and whiteouts, just for a game? And the organizers didn’t cancel? I can understand heading out if your job depended on it, or if it was a major life event. But perhaps we’re taking this too seriously.

That’s the only explanation I have. I know parents who do a great job with sports, and they love it, and the kids are thriving. It certainly can be done. But when I look at the fi nancial outlay, and the time commitment, and the fact that you have so little time at home, I just fi nd it hard to think it’s worth the cost. Maybe I should relinquish my Canadian citizenship for even daring to suggest it, but I don’t get it. Am I the only one?

By Judy BackusEMC Events - A midweek thaw took what little snow was on the ground, resulting in the postponement of all dog-relat-ed events at the 35th annual celebration of SnoFest, held February 1 to 3 in Marmora.

Spirits undaunted, organizers proceeded with other events, beginning on the evening of February 1 with the fourth an-nual Marmora’s Got Talent, which has become very popular both with performers and spec-tators.

Immediately prior to the start of the show, which was, as in the

past, emceed by Bruce Cook, past Chair of SnoFest, Richard Lowery, introduced Zaid Mo-hammed who last autumn took over that position. Mohammed spoke of recent weather related challenges resulting in changes to the plans, going on to refer to Mother Nature as being other than generous.

Guest speaker Jon McCon-nell, whose involvement with SnoFest began in 1981, recalled past events, such as the male beauty pageant, with participa-tion by Goat Hill Gertie (Wally Sawkins). He spoke of the 150-mile race which involved hours

of participation by 1986 who clearly enjoyed himself and ex-pressed an interest in returning to Marmora.

McConnell commented on the role of the many volunteers from Marmora and surrounding communities, who, every year, give so generously of their time and expertise to ensure the suc-cess of this annual winter cel-ebration.

Once the ribbon was cut by Reeve Terry Clemens, signifying the official open-ing of SnoFest, it was time for the talent show to begin.

Even without the dogs the 2013 SnoFest was a

great success

A group of spectators gathered on the shore of the Crowe River near the tennis courts on February 2 to watch as members of the Marmora and Lake Fire Department demonstrated their ice water rescue techniques, using lunge lines to pull “victims” from the frigid water. The department’s rapid deployment craft was also brought into use during the multi-stage exercise. Photo: Judy Backus

The town hall was fi lled on both days of the SnoFest weekend with exhibitors whose displays featured a wide variety of locally produced products from honey and garlic, to jams, meat, baked goods, cozy alpaca knits and more. Two of the exhibitors, Elsie and Al Lafreniere of the Green Donkey Tea Room at The Black River Farm in Tweed, were on hand with a wide variety of homemade jams and jellies. Their business is to be the focus of an article in the May issue of Canadian Living. Photo: Judy Backus

Artistic Expressions, a two-day show and sale featuring a variety of handcrafted works of art, from, as the SnoFest brochure explained, “emerging and established artists, crafters and hobbyists,” attracted a number of exhibitors and crowds of visitors. Sculptor and award winning musician David Maracle added atmosphere to the event as he performed several pieces on a traditional fl ute which was hand crafted in Brantford. Photo Judy Backus

Zaid Mohammed, who took over as chair of SnoFest last fall, looked on as Reeve Terry Clemens cut the ribbon on February 1, offi cially opening the midwinter celebration. Photo: Judy Backus

Mohammed introduced the panel of three judges: musicians David Maracle and Morley Ellis, and Sue Heath, all of whom had tough choices to make when determining the fi rst-, second- and third-place winners for two groups of contestants: those 12 and under, and those over the age of 13, some who had travelled from other towns to par-ticipate. The talent was clearly evident, with some singing a capella, oth-ers accompanying them-selves on guitar, some singing along to CDs, some presenting their own compositions and one group of three sisters playing violins. When the judging was com-plete, Macie Levere, the deJong sisters and Kayla Carmen placed fi rst, sec-ond and third in the fi rst category, while Mathew Rivera, Travis Whiteman and Stompin’ John Finlan took the same honours in the 13 and over category.

With no dog-related activities taking place, focus centred on the many other events which included a banquet and dance, a show and sale of handcrafts; the well attended Who’s Growing Locally which featured a wide range of products; a silent auction; break-fasts on both days of the celebration; a luncheon; a display relating to the history of SnoFest; an ice water rescue demonstra-tion put on by members of the local fi re depart-ment; a chainsaw carv-ing demonstration; and a skating show. Even with the absence of the dogs and races, there was still plenty to fi ll a chilly win-ter weekend.

A few challenges, a whole lot of fun at 2012’s SnoFest

Eric Rochon brings them home during the six-mile sprint held in 2012 at Marmora’s Sno Fest. Damian Robb won the event followed by Bob Sabourin and Rochon. Photo: Terry Bush

The Sno Fest Association faced many weather related challenges in 2012, but with a few changes in the sched-ule, forged ahead with the 34th annual event. Teams

Three-year-old Charlee Coxwas one of 15 young mushers between the ages of three and 12, to enter the popular Little Nippers’ race in 2012. She and her dog, Prince, streaked toward the fi nish line, with Charlee capably applying the brakes at just the right time. Photo: Judy Backus

the sled dog races!”Costumed mascots, Snowfl ake

and Little Nipper, were on the scene as well, sitting quietly while prizes were distributed. One by one the winners headed to the front to collect trophies, cheques, and treats for both mushers and dogs. Rene Marchildon from South River, was fi rst in the 25-mile run; Damion Robb, a mem-ber of the Jamaica team, took home the trophy for the six-mile sprint; Ken Davis, of Minnesota, won the four-mile sprint; and Charlee Cox was the Little Nipper who crossed the fi nish line in the least amount of time. Winner of the two-mile novice run was Taylor London of Stirling. Each year, a dog sled, crafted by Dave Moore of Perth, is raffl ed off, with each of the Little Nippers hav-ing a chance to win. This year, Re-becca Young, six, was the winner of a very handsome sled which she promptly climbed aboard to assume a musher’s stance.

Race Marshal Shane Cox, who had both raced in and organized the

arrived from points across Ontario and Quebec, and again, Jamaican musher Damion Robb was on the scene, as was one participant from Minnesota.

Sprints and races, which ranged from two miles to 25, along with the very popular Little Nippers’ run, were the focus of the weekend-long winter celebration. In addition to the many races, there were a number of festival related activities such as a chainsaw carving demonstration, a snowy baseball tournament, an envi-ronmental display, a talent show, a curling bonspiel, a display and sale of arts and crafts and the list goes on. There was no excuse for bore-dom, as there was something going on no matter where one turned.

If hunger struck, there were break-fasts and lunches at various locations as well as at the Sno Fest banquet which was followed by the fi rst ever Sno Fest dance held at the Commu-nity Centre on February 4. Although a few cancellations, including two weight pulls and a malamute sled-ding race and demonstration, had to be made, the program was a full one.

At the end of the weekend, fol-lowing the fi nal sprint and the Little Nippers’ race, many gathered in the Community Centre for the clos-ing ceremony and the presentation of awards. The walls were deco-rated with pictures created by local school children who added written thoughts of Sno Fest at the bottom of their drawings. One said, “I love sled dog races. I will race and I will win!” Another added a riddle: “What drives a person but is not a car? It’s

runs, was voted the most sportsmanlike by his fel-low mushers. After receiv-ing his trophy, Cox com-mented that it was nice to

be recognized, adding of the festival, that in spite of the conditions, there had been a good turnout and everyone had fun.
