    Plan B may be necessary

    of Health and Long-Term Care for that bed allocation and have pressed their case passionately and civilly at every opportunity. New premier Kathleen Wynne, a sum-mer resident in the township, has even promised to visit HBM to talk to coun-cil but the lack of action and defini-tive answers has pushed council to the wall.

    At some point are we going to be looking at Plan B? Councillor Jim Martin asked during councils meeting last week.

    I think that after the end of July if we havent heard anything I would like us to come up with a plan to go in another direction or see what were going to do, Martin said.

    Ive been holding back for a long time but now its getting to the point

    where its ridiculous, he said.

    If were not going to hear anything I think we as a council should be coming up with what we should do. Maybe we should be seeing if the opposition party is still supporting it. I just think there is something weve got to do because were doing all this work with everything ready to go.

    He hoped Premier Wynnes recent visit to Peterborough would have included positive words for the HBM project.

    Its been a long time planning this and were really not further ahead than we were back then. I think we need to get something going [because] people see all this work were doing and we dont seem to get anything for it.

    Mayor Ron Gerow shares Martins frustration.

    Weve done our part from the very beginning, Gerow said. Weve seen a lot of our seniors leaving the

    community in the last year. Theres not a week goes by that I dont get calls about this.

    Gerow told council that MPP Jeff Leal recently assured him that the premiers visit was imminent. He also thought the Peterborough visit would include us.

    During an earlier meeting with Wynne in Peterborough Gerow said she committed to moving [the project] forward.

    I expect that when they visit with council well get some answers because weve waited way past our due date.

    CAO Linda Reid told council there is a draft Plan B available for review but suggested they wait through the summer months before they act.

    We need some replies and answers, said Councillor Larry Ellis agreeing they wait until fall.

    Were all on the same wavelength.

    Continued from page 1

    which replicated barriers people in a wheelchair encounter in the real world, such as having to manoeuvre in tight quarters, cross a park where theres dog waste (chunks of wood served as a sub-stitute), and travel over uneven surfac-eswhich we might not think of as be-ing a big obstacle but can be quite a barrier to someone unable to step over it, Bolton said.

    Teacher Krista Grills said the children learned how challenging it is to use a wheelchair and that it takes strength, endurance, patience and con dence the same traits theyll need to achieve goals in life.

    It was a little harder because were not used to using our arms that much, said Chase Kloosterman, a Grade 6 student.

    Kimberly Hulsman, who began using a wheelchair a year ago, explained the differences between ability and disability, and showed the students photos of wheelchair athletes and others who have excelled at sports despite the loss of use of limbs.

    Her message to young people was: Never limit yourself, because its all in what you want to do, whether youre able bodied or not.

    4 The Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, June 27, 2013

    By John CampbellEMC News - Trent Hills - Trent Hills could become home to a ranch-style res-idential facility for persons with autism.

    The idea was put to council June 18 by Dr. Rondo Thomas, president and co-founder of Lindsay Villages, a not-for-profit corporation and registered charity named after his adult grand-daughter, who was diagnosed with au-tism when she was three.

    Citing estimates released last year by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta that one in 88 children in the United States has been identified as having autism spectrum disorder, Thomas said autism has become a si-lent epidemic.

    Provisions must be made for the care of autistic persons down the road when their parents or guardians can no lon-ger look after them, but the provincial

    Idea for village presented to Trent Hills council

    Dr. Ronaldo Thomas approached Trent Hills council June 18 about building a ranch-style residential facility for autistic persons south of Hastings. It would be the first of what is planned to be a series of Lindsay Villages built across the province. He said incidence of autism is growing and has become a silent epidemic.

    government has not ad-dressed the issue and no one is stepping up to the plate, he said. The cost of trying to care for that many people over the future is going to be enormous.

    Currently, theres a 15-year waiting list for 1,200 autistic persons seeking permanent accommodations, he said.

    There are places trying to make room for these people but its becoming extremely difficult, consequently what is being offered at the pres-ent time really is not much more than warehousing and [they] deserve more than that, Thomas said.

    His answer is to build vil-lages throughout Ontario that provide long-term, safe fa-cilities where autistic persons

    can live and work, and have trained staff provide support and educational programs.

    The first site the charity wishes to develop is a 50-acre property near the inter-section of County Roads 45 and 25 at the south edge of Hastings.

    The village would then become a model for more to be built across Ontario that council members in oth-er municipalities could visit and have explained what it is were wanting to do.

    Horses would be kept on the land because of their rec-ognized therapeutic value for individuals who have autism, Thomas said.

    He told Deputy-mayor Bob Crate that the number of residents would certainly be

    conditional on what the council felt was appropriate I would say reasonably small, we would barely make a dent in the requirements in the province.

    He asked council if what we have in mind would be hostile to your purposes and desires, or would you consider this to be a friendly approach?

    Both Councillor Gene Brahaney and Mayor Hector Macmillan said they were excited by the proposal, with the mayor suggesting Thomas work with director of planning Jim Peters.

    I dont think theres anything hos-tile, Macmillan said.

    Theres a lot of research work that has to be done, Peters said, and the proponent will have to go through several planning processes to create something like that.

    Thomas said it will probably take six months to settle the questions and an-other one to two years before construc-tion could begin.

    EMC News - Trent Hills - A Quinte West woman was charged with a drink-ing-driving offence after a passenger caused a disturbance that drew the at-tention of police.

    Northumberland OPP were contacted around 12:10 a.m. June 22 about a fe-male passenger in a vehicle on County Road 8 in Trent Hills complaining peo-ple were out to get her.

    Police attended the scene west of Wingfield Road and found a female on the north shoulder with a minor face injury. A male and female were on the opposite shoulder near a 2010 Lincoln MKX.

    The officers determined the group had been returning from a wedding reception when the intoxicated female passenger began causing a disturbance in the back seat that resulted in the driver pulling over, police said in a news release.

    Further investigation led to Jaclyn Louise Mitchell, 30, being charged with operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content over 80 milligrams. She is to appear in the Ontario Court of Jus-tice July 17. Her drivers licence was suspended for 90 days.

    The Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, June 27, 2013 5

    By Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - The St. Pauls Milk Moovers wear their milk moustaches with pride and last week they earned well-deserved plaudits from the Dairy Farmers of Ontario for the volunteer work theyve done over the past 38 weeks.

    The dedicated group of 25 Grade 6 students were the crucial deliver-ers of the schools milk program organized by parent volunteer Ber-nadette Vanderhorst and sponsored by the Dairy Farmers of Ontario. Its the ninth year for the program at St. Pauls and Vanderhorsts ninth year at the helm and shes pleased with the results.

    At least 140 students at St. Pauls received milk through the program, some every day, others once a week

    with the Grade 6 Milk Moovers making regular deliveries.

    It has always been Grade Six-es, Vanderhorst told the Trent Hills Independent as she presented the Milk Moovers with special milk glasses, certi cates and a wrap-up pizza lunch complete with, you guessed it, milk and ice cream.

    This is a good age group, they are becoming young leaders in the school and its a healthy beverage to promote at a young age, she said.

    Not all schools are able to offer milk programs, Vanderhorst noted, because it requires volunteers to run the initiative.

    At St. Pauls, Vanderhorst re-ceives strong support from the ad-ministration, the school secretary and teacher Amy Van Will. They receive twice-a-week deliveries

    from Kawartha Dairy and the Dairy Farmers of Ontario provide incen-tive prizes for the program.

    Through the program there is also an opportunity to have a nutri-tionist come in and run a workshop for teachers. There are curriculum resources available to teachers as well, Vanderhorst says.

    In thanking the students, she stressed how important they were to making the St. Pauls program a success.

    You are my daily monitors and you get the milk delivered and you provide information to me; it all makes it run ef ciently and smoothly.

    You are learning at an impor-tant time in your life about things like volunteering and how to run a program [like this], she told them.

    You are learning a lot of new skills, these are some of the skills youve learned when volunteering and youll use them in other areas of your life.

    One-third of children are not receiving the recommended daily amount of milk and alternatives. Children two to eight years of age need two servings of milk and alterna-tives every day; youngsters nine to 13 need three to four servings each day.

    Each of those servings, of either white or chocolate milk, contains 16 essential nu-trients.

    6 The Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, June 27, 2013

    Dear Editor,Bob Johnsons criticizing letter, Another

    economics lesson for Wyley comes across as fervent admiration for nuclear and McGuinty. Wyley Canucks sin is he believes Ontario Power Generations operators earning $375,000 a year is too high.

    Monthly power bills always include a significant charge for unfunded debt. This represents losses in tens of billions mostly from nuclear construction, refurbishing, down time and exorbitant wages. Without shifting

    Does Mr. Johnson work for OPG?these enormous costs to taxpayers, the complex would have been unpalatable to investors.

    Mr. Johnson mathematically compliments OPG for paying $375,000 annually for operators to handle 243, 36-hour down times in a year called intervals which means this palatial installation is inoperative for half a year. All this loss finds its way into our energy bills. Compare this Pickering colossus with Lennox, a small gas-fired plant in Napanee under contract until 2022. They are paid $7.1 million a month whether they produce one kilowatt of electricity or none. In a full year, Lennox only operates 1.5 per cent of the time.

    Mr. Johnson further claims, If OPG does not have any reserve generation available when a nuclear unit goes down, they will be forced to buy from adjacent utilities. These utilities will charge the rate for the most expensive generation.

    There are a number of things very wrong in these statements.

    Under his Green Act, McGuinty closed our most inexpensive generating sources, coal power, and failed to replace them adequately with gas power. To ensure a majority government, he cancelled the already under construction gas-fired Mississauga plant. Its cost us $574 million so far.

    His estimate for cancelling the Etobicoke plant which is 3.5 times larger, is $40 million. McGuintys actions do force us to buy from more expensive utilities. Under this same act, wind turbine generators and solar, often produce power when it is not needed. This

    excess power is sold at a loss or given away. Besides other green initiatives, this additional burden is added to our bills.

    A nuclear facility is a highly dangerous place and only ineluctable standards of performance and safety must apply. Millions of lives are at risk. In November 2011, OPG in co-ordination with police at the Pickering nuclear station, fired 11 workers. OPG said they were in violation of their code of conduct. Allegations included misuse of computers, email and drugs. Accompanied by Power Workers Unions lawyers, eight went to arbitration. They were rehired. With OPGs generosity, they were probably receiving full wages while their dismissal was appealed. Their names are secret. How many were in the $375,000 income category, we will never know.

    Nuclear production leaves fatal waste. Tom Mitchell, head of OPG long term solution is to spend $24 billion on a two-track system to bury it. Over a 20-year term and excluding costs absorbed by industry and commercial activities, it is estimated to cost each family $30,000 or $1,500 a year. This added expense will not add a single volt of power.

    McGuinty, Wynne and Tom Mitchell will love Mr. Johnsons letter. If he plans to send them a copy, I suggest he use large print so they can read it by candlelight. With these unconscionable power rate increases, it may be the only form of illumination available.

    LETTER TO THE EDITOR

    By Terry BushEMC Editorial - The news on the pop-ulation front sounds bad: birth rates are not dropping as fast as expected, and we are likely to end up with an even bigger world population by the end of the cen-tury. The last revision of the United Na-tions World Population Prospects, two

    years ago, predicted just over ten billion people by 2100. The latest revision, just out, predicts almost 11 billion.

    Thats a truly alarming number, because its hard to see how the world can sustain another 4 billion people. (The cur-rent global population is 7 billion.) But the headline number is deceptive, and conceals another, grimmer reality. Three-quarters of that growth will come in just one continent: Af-rica.

    The African continent currently has 1.1 billion people. By the year 2100, it will have 4.1 billionmore than a third of the worlds total population. Or rather, that is what it will have if there has not already been a huge population dieback in the region. At some point, however, systems will break down under the strain of trying to feed such rapidly growing populations, and people will start to die in large numbers.

    It has happened beforeto Ireland in the 1840s, for ex-ampleand it can happen again. In fact, it probably will. When you look more carefully at the numbers, you can even identify which regions will be hardest hit, because even in Africa there are large areas where population growth is low and dropping.

    None of the Arabic-speaking countries of northern Africa will increase its population by more than one-third by 2100, and some will even be declining. South Africa, at the other end of the continent, will only add another ten million people by the centurys end. Its in the middle belt of Africa that things will get very ugly.

    Between now and 2100, six countries are expected to ac-count for half of the worlds projected population increase: India, Nigeria, the United States of America, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania and Uganda. Four of the six are in central Africa.

    In this area, where fertility is still high, the numbers are quite astonishing. Most countries will at least triple in popu-lation; some, like Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia, are predict-ed to grow fivefold. That is on top of populations that have already tripled, quadrupled or quintupled in the past half-cen-tury. Uganda had 5 million people at independence in 1962; it is projected to have 205 million in 2100.

    The numbers are simply preposterous. Niger, a desert

    country whose limited agricultural land might feed ten mil-lion people with good management, a lot of investment, and good luck with the weather, already has twice as many as that. By the end of the century it will have twenty times as many: 204 million people.

    All these numbers are based on assumptions about declin-ing birth rates: if we all just carried on with the birth rates of today, there would be 25 billion people on this planet by the end of the century.

    The key question is: how FAST is fertility decliningand all the numbers in this article so far are from the UNs medi-um estimates, i.e. the moderately optimistic ones. The high estimate for Niger gives it 270 million people by 2100: an extra 70 million.

    It makes no practical difference. Even the low estimate of 150 million people in Niger by 2100 is never actually going to happen. That is 15 times too many people for the available land, and Niger certainly cannot afford to import large amounts of food. Even without reckoning in the huge negative impact of climate change, large numbers of people in Niger (and quite a few other African countries) will begin starving long before that.

    So the real picture that emerges from the UNs data is rather different. It is a world where two-thirds of the worlds countries will have declining populations by 2100. China and Russia will each be down by a third, and only the United States among the major developed countries will still have a growing population: up from 320 million now to 460 million. (By the way, that means there will only be twice as many Chinese as Americans by then.)

    In terms of climate change, the huge but ultimately self-limiting population growth in Africa will have little impact, for these are not industrialised countries with high rates of consumption and show no signs of becoming so. The high economic growth rates of African countries in recent years are driven mostly by high commodity prices, and will prob-ably not be sustained.

    It is the developed and rapidly developing countries whose activities put huge pressure on the global environment, not only by their greenhouse gas emissions but also by their de-structive styles of farming and fishing. Their populations are relatively stable but their actual numbers are already very large, and each individual consumes five or ten times as much as the average African.

    So the frightening numbers in the UNs latest population predictions are mostly of concern to Africabut the rest of the world is still in deep, deep trouble on many other fronts.

    Dear Editor,In response to Steve Brawleys letter of June 20, I would

    ask him if hes considered the one option he hasnt men-tioned. If there are no candidates, why mark anything on the ballot at all, and instead, put it in the ballot box completely

    unmarked? Imagine if all the people who are disgruntled by the current system and didnt show up to vote were to do this would this mean Elections Canada would have to declare the election invalid?

    T. Murray, Quinte West

    Why bother marking your ballot?

    EMC Editorial - True to my word, I didnt watch a single game of the regular hockey season as part of my NHL boycott. Didnt watch the first round of the play-offs either until game six of the Toronto series when I tuned into the third period while flipping through the channels. This momentary lapse of judgment on my part forced me to watch the monumental game seven collapse of the Maple Leafs at Bostons hands. When the dust settled and the Bruins moved on against Pittsburgh, watching that series became unavoidable.

    Anyone but the Penguins some of us say down Stirling way. Not that we hold a grudge against the team or anything but maybe the bad vibes emanating from the Hub of Hastings had something to do with the fact that they were on the wrong end of a four-game sweep. At least thats what I like to believe. Pittsburgh, the supposed sure thing was way too stacked for the average Joe or Josephine to support and the grinding, workmanlike Bruins have a certain appeal to members of a rural community used to hard work.

    When the Bruins advanced, the hockey was just so entertaining, Id almost forgotten the latest labour dispute and commissioner Gary (the weasel) Bettmans mismanagement of the 2012-2013 season. No offense to weasels, of course.

    Great hockey and better yet, no afternoon games in the final to take away from the activities around the yard that always need to be finished up before settling in for the summer.

    Even with Pittsburgh out of the mix early, the odds were still pretty good that the Stanley Cup would be returning to Belleville again this summer. It was too bad when the LA Kings and Brad Richardson bit the dust in a hard-fought battle with Chicago. Richardson did his part to support Stirlings Hockeyville bid, donating items for auction and when it was his turn to enjoy the Stanley Cup last summer, he took it for a ride across Oak Lake from his cottage so the residents of the lake and people swimming at the beach could enjoy it. We remember things like that.

    With Richardson out of the running, this area still had its hopes riding on the shoulders of Bellevilles Andrew Shaw.

    Many of us arent as familiar with the teams from the west, especially in this shortened, stay-at-home season. We remember the Hawks recent cup victory and truth be told, members of the older generation still remember fondly the days of the Golden Jet, another Belleville area native. I, for one, remember the time spent collecting the hockey cards of all the members of the Black Hawks squad and how hard it was, if memory serves correctly, to get my hands on that elusive Billy Reay coach card. Quite a bit of horse-trading involved in that one and a good way to be welcomed to the world of negotiation.

    Liking both teams in the final for two different reasons was tough, but the calibre of hockey certainly made up for any indecision. When the Bruins were on, they were like watching a wrecking ball swinging from the time clock, dropping Black Hawks all over the place. When they werent, it was pure joy to see the speed and finesse of the Hawks younger players catching the Bruins flat-footed. Bostons Chara and the Hawks Bickell were evenly matched, knocking each other around every other shift. Bellevilles Andrew Shaw was a perfect match for his counterpart, the Bruins pain in the butt, Brad Marchand.

    One rarely knew how a game would end. Did anyone expect the ending to game six? Don Cherry certainly didnt. Its not too often that two goals are scored 17 seconds apart in the final minute of play for a come-from-behind Stanley Cup victory. I dont know if he acknowledged his error after the game as I turned off the set before Bettman arrived to his usual boos before presenting the cup.

    Probably the best part of this dramatic end to the NHL play-offs is that Leafs fans will finally stop taking to the message boards with their collective, If we hadnt screwed up in game seven, it would have been us in the final. Fat chance.

    It was nice of the Leafs to put a scare into Boston, so the real Bruins would stand up for the rest of the play-offs. But, there is no way on earth that Dion Phaneuf will ever hold a candle to Zdeno Chara and chances were very slim that the Leafs would have dominated the Pens the way the Bruins did.

    And now that all is said and done, Andrew Shaw will be bringing the cup home to Belleville after his magnificent play-off performance.

    The cup will make an appearance in the Friendly City for the third time in the past five years.

    And thats an achievement few North American cities will ever witness.

    Maybe the cup should just stay in Belleville

    Q: Which SPF Sunscreen Should I Buy?A: Simply put, an SPF 30 means you can stay in the sun 30x

    longer than you could without sunscreen before you burn. The confusion is that all SPF levels oer the same strength of protection; the number only indicates how long it may last.

    Many feel that sunscreens will actually degrade, absorb, or wash away with sweat before they can provide protection over about 30. For this reason Australia has made the maximum label claim SPF30+.

    Also, SPF only measures UVB protection and it is UVA that causes damage like melanomas. For good UVA protection look for a natural product with zinc oxide titanium dioxide. And look for Reef Safe sunscreen to protect our waterways.

    Q: How do I protect my pet from Lyme Disease?A: Lyme Disease is transmitted by deer ticks (Ixodes,black legged,) brought to Brighton mainly onmigratory birds.Ticks dislike sunlight and are activebetween 4 to 24 degrees Celsius and found invegetation.Stay on short grass or put a Veterinary topicalmedication on your dog and check them immediatelyafter being out .Ticks transmit the disease within2 to 24 hours. For removal, use tweezers or "tick twister",next flush with hydrogen peroxide or soap, then water.USE GLOVES:YOU ARE ALSO AT RISK!In your yard, keep all grass short (remember underbird feeder) and clean up leaves.Make a wood chipbarrier between any shrub area and your lawn.Discuss vaccinating against Lyme Disease with yourveterinarian and request a blood test annually.For details, check dogsandticks.com

    Q: My cat stays indoors, do I still need to vaccinate her against Rabies?A: Absolutely. It is the Law in Ontario. Also, it is more likely for a cat to catch a rabid bat indoors than out. Even if your cat stays close to the house, they can easily catch a bat that has hit a window or patio door; a result of the Rabies virus affecting the bats sonar system. When your cat is vaccinated, they will get a mandatory physical exam (only a healthy individual should be vaccinated) giving you an opportunity to discuss your pets health with your veterinarian. The Low Cost Rabies Clinic, this year on October 5th, is the only time veterinarians are permitted to vaccinate without an examination. This is sub-standard care, but, for many people who are having difficulty making ends meet, its a chance to protect their dog or cat, and consequently themselves, from this zoonotic, fatal disease.

    A: Invisalign is a proven method for straightening teeth using a series of custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners. Each aligner is precisely calibrated and manufactured to custom-fit over your teeth and gently moves them through every stage of your treatment. There are no metal wires and brackets, and you can still enjoy your favorite foods, brush and floss easily. Adults account for nearly 25% of all orthodontic patients! The most common problems are crowded teeth, teeth spaced too far apart, protruding upper or lower teeth, and upper and lower teeth that do not touch.

    Q: What should I do first, Buy or Sell? A: Thats tricky. If you sell before youve found a home to buy, you could spend the summer camping out! On the other hand, if you find your dream home before youve unloaded your old one, you may be faced with carrying two mortgages for a time. Start your new home search as soon as your existing home hits the market. Be realistic when pricing your home for sale. Use sale of your existing home as a condition on your offer. If you dont sell your house within a fixed period of time, you can choose not to go through with the offer. This, however, is a difficult condition for many vendors to agree upon and you may find that you have to forgo your price negotiating power. Purchasing a home before you sell could be a risky strategy if youre counting on the proceeds from the sale. So be sure to talk to your financial institution as well.

    Please give us a call and wed be happy to help you plan your move!

    house youre in, into the home of your dreams. It is almost always less expensive to renovate than to relocate. If youve owned your home for a few years, chances are youve been building up some nice equity. You can roll the cost of your renovation into your mortgage, then use your prepayment privileges to pay it off faster.

    QUESTION: Connie, when is the right time to stop putting foodout for the birds? Every year as the weather warms up I wonder ifI am doing the birds harm by feeding through the summer.ANSWER: In a nutshell, no, you are doing the birds no harmby continuing to feed through the warmer weather. Many peoplefeed the birds year round.We feed birds because we want to havethem around. Birds can look after themselves very well withoutus. That being said, when spring arrives, much of the natural foodsource has been depleted by the birds that overwinter here. Addto that the arrival of the migratory birds and there is more burdenplaced on what is left of the natural food supply. It will give thebirds a boost at this time of year, which is also nesting time formost birds, if you continue to keep your feeders lled until thereare insects in the air and buds on the trees.

    New speed signs targetedBy John CampbellEMC News - Trent Hills - Lower speed limits have raised the ire of motorists in Trent Hills.

    Signs installed earlier this month post-ing a 50 kilometre-an-hour speed limit on many municipal roads have been damaged, CAO Mike Rutter told council June 18.

    A signi cant amount of vandalism is happening, he said, with signs being taken down or being spray painted to make 50 kilometres an hour read as 80 kilometres an hour.

    Thats really unfortunate, Rutter said. It puts the travelling public at risk [and] it doesnt change the speed limit.

    The municipality learned earlier this year that speed limits on many of its roads in rural settings, historically 80 kilometres an hour, are higher than they should be, and have been since Trent Hills was formed through amalgamation in 2001.

    A staff review undertaken to consolidate the bylaws of the four original municipali-ties determined Trent Hills is classi ed un-der provincial legislation as a town, not a township, which means the default statu-tory speed limit is 50 kilometres an hour.

    As a short-term solution, the municipal-ity opted to install signs notifying motorists the speed limit is 50 kilometres an hour, unless otherwise posted (such as on county roads or in areas where a speed limit of 40 kilometres an hour was set for safety rea-

    sons).Rutter told council that 50 kilometres

    an hour is less than the optimum driving speed in certain areas so staff is in the process of preparing a request for propos-als from area engineering rms to deter-mine what the safe driving speed is on a number of roads, such as Goldolphin and Burnbrae.

    While vandalism of more than a handful of signs may be a way to express frustra-tion about something were all quite frus-trated about [it] is just counter-produc-tive and very expensive to the taxpayer, he said.

    Mayor Hector Macmillan voiced his own frustration with the damage done to the signs, which will need to be replaced.

    I doubt you would buy a new sign and send two guys out in a truck to replace it for much less than a thousand dollars, he said, and it will take time that could be spent doing much more important things.

    He said those responsible should smart-en up and think about what theyre doing because the money for repairs will come out of the property taxes they pay.

    Macmillan said some roads will remain at 50 kilometres an hour after the engineer-ing assessment is done, so the municipality will keep replacing the signs if they contin-ue to be vandalized and we will be pursu-ing satisfaction to the full extent of the law should anyone get caught.

    By John CampbellEMC News - Campbellford - Munici-palities should think twice before support-ing a campaign against contraband tobacco being waged by the provinces convenience stores, says the district health unit.

    Councils within the area served by the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit will be strongly en-couraged to receive any submissions from the Ontario Convenience Stores Associa-tion (OCSA) with great caution and to consult with public health of cials before taking any action.

    HKPR board members instructed medi-cal of cer of health Dr. Lynn Noseworthy last week to contact the municipalities on a recommendation from its tobacco control of cer, Lorne Jordan.

    What were asking you to do is to be very careful if youre being approached by the Ontario Convenience Stores Associa-tion, Jordan told the boards municipal rep-resentatives at their June 20 meeting. They want you to help them convince people to buy legal tobacco, which will kill you, ver-sus illegal tobaccowhich will kill you.

    Jordan outlined how the OCSA is build-ing public support for its municipal anti-contraband initiative across Ontario, which has already seen more than 70 municipali-ties, including London and Windsor, pass motions in support of the associations campaign.

    Contraband tobacco does divert tax rev-enue into the hands of organized crime and has helped put small vendors out of busi-ness but the associations very sophisti-cated messaging is being funded by big tobacco, Jordan said.

    The form letter approved by the health board notes tobacco products are all the

    Municipalities to treat campaign with cautionsame, whether sold legally or illegally; there is no safe level of use, they kill will one of every two longtime users when used exactly as intended.

    Nicotine addiction, whether through use of contraband or legal cigarettes, has often been compared to heroine or cocaine addiction.

    The letter that will be sent out to area municipalities said the OCSA should be endorsing the provincial governments plan to remove the right to sell cigarettes and lot-tery tickets from any retailer caught selling cigarettes to minors.

    It should also agree to a reduction in the number of retail outlets selling this uniquely toxic and hazardous product, which is now sold through multiple locations in every community in Ontario.

    The motion being circulated by the OCSA asks municipalities to support the governments commitment to increase nes for offences related to contraband to-bacco and give law enforcement of cials more authority regarding the forfeiture of items seized as evidence and the impound-ing of vehicles.

    Jordan warned the association could ex-ploit support for its campaign by munici-palities and refocus it on how you should be buying legal tobacco and take it in di-rections where they may not want it to go.

    The provincial government estimates its proposed measures to address illegal tobac-co would yield an additional $175 million in revenue each year while adding $34 mil-lion in annual enforcement costs.

    The OCSA says there are more than 10,000 convenience stories in Ontario with an economic footprint of $5.5 billion an-nually. Tobacco sales account for up to 60 per cent of revenue in family-run stores.

    The Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, June 27, 2013 9

    EMC News - Havelock - A fam-ily day event to be held July 6 on the Lake Kasshabog public beach will help raise funds to help defray the costs of personal work done to rebuild the dock at the boat launch off North Peninsula Road opposite the beach.

    Approximately $1,400 was spent to rebuild the nearly 40-year-old structure off North Peninsula Road and the goal of the family day event is to raise enough money to cover out-of-pocket expenses incurred to fix the dock.

    Any excess funds [raised] would be used to replace another ten planks and four pieces of Sty-rofoam on the large floating dock portion next season, said cottager Shirley Patterson, a member of the ten-person project team along with her husband Pat who have cottaged on the lake since 1963.

    Any remaining funds will be donated to the Lake Kasshabog Residents Association to purchase more rock marker buoys or signs.

    The family day will include swimming games, beach vol-leyball, DJ music, log-rolling for adults and other events. Barbeque fare will also be for sale through-out the day which begins at noon. The entrance fee will be $5 per person or $25 per family.

    The supervised event is open to the general public whether they are lake residents or not, says Pat-terson.

    The docking facility is a fa-vourite spot to use while fishing at Kosh, she says.

    The dock was built by the for-mer Ministry of Lands and Forests between 35 and 40 years ago and had become terribly rotted and deteriorated.

    The situation could be a seri-ous hazard to the residents and the public who use the facility, said Pat Patterson.

    He first approached the town-ship to see if they could be in-volved in the project but was told they did not have the authority which rests with the Ministry of Natural Resources. The MNR did not have funds available for a re-building project but was receptive to the idea and signed a letter of authority approving the design for the new dock.

    This was a great fun project, a lot like the old days when we built the first North Shore Road about 60 years ago, Patterson said in a letter to the Residents Associa-tion.

    The building costs included $991 for materials, $34 for shack-les and $393 for fuel.

    MP Norlock announces investment in seniors projectEMC News - Hastings - Seniors in Hastings will soon have new opportunities to volunteer, mentor younger generations and help raise awareness of elder abuse.

    The Hastings Prepared-ness Initiative will receive $25,000 to go toward the cre-ation of a database for provid-ing assistance to those in need throughout the community.

    Funding through the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) makes it all possible.

    Rick Norlock, MP for Nor thumber land-Quinte West made the announcement Monday at the Civic Centre in Hastings.

    The Hastings Prepared-ness Initiative is a proactive venture organized between the Municipality of Trent Hills and the Hastings Help-ers group. This initiative will support seniors and other members of the Hastings community to assist those in

    need in and around the com-munity, said Norlock.

    Initiatives such as the New Horizons for Seniors Program help to ensure that seniors maintain a high qual-ity of life and continue as ac-tive participating members of their communities.

    Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan was on hand for the announcement.

    The support from the Government of Canada will assist the Hastings Helpers in their efforts to provide support to those in need in the Hastings community, he confirmed.

    A database detailing the specific needs of vulnerable residents will be very valu-able during emergencies as well as the upcoming bridge closure, he added.

    Since its beginning the New Horizons for Seniors Program has funded more than 12,200 projects in hun-

    The Hastings Preparedness Initiative will receive a federal grant for $25,000 to go toward the cre-ation of a database for providing assistance to those in need throughout the community.

    Business Info Day makes its debutBy John CampbellEMC Business - Campbellford - You learn something every day, they say, and for local business owners, a treasure trove of information awaited them at the first annual Business Info Day held June 18 in Campbellford.

    The event, organized by The Hol-mestead: Print and Business Services, brought together businesspeople and representatives of agencies that can help them prosper.

    The organizations included the Busi-ness Advisory Centre, Career Edge, and Trent Hills and District Chamber of Commerce.

    All in all, we were pleased with the fact that it was the first one and it

    Beautification tree dedication biggest everBy Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - The Asphodel-Norwood Beau-tification Committees 2013 tree dedication ceremony was its biggest ever with 16 trees planted on the Norwood Fair-grounds. Since the program started in 2009 55 treeshoney locust, sugar maple, red oak and red maplehave been planted to enhance and beautify the fair-grounds.

    Three of this years trees mark special occasions and 11 grace the grounds as memorials to loved ones.

    We would like to continue this annual event and hope next year Paul Quinlan [Norwood Fair secretary-manager] will be able to find us another splendid spot, Beautification co-chair

    Doreen Allen-Bell said during the traditional plaque unveiling.

    Our thanks go out to [Paul] for all his support as well as to the township works crew who dug the holes and planted the trees. Between them they make sure the trees are also watered, Allen-Bell said.

    She also thanked members of the Beautification Commit-tee who have worked diligently on the tree program and other community enhancement proj-ects.

    But Allen-Bells warmest thanks went to the individu-als, groups and families who stepped forward to have trees planted and dedicated.

    She thanked them for two main reasons: Helping to keep the name of your loved ones

    alive and visible in this community and for encouraging us in our endea-vours to instill pride in the friendly town of Norwood.

    During the programs inaugural year in 2009, 13 trees were planted, 12 donated by individuals and one memorial tree. The following year there were seven trees planted, five of those were memorial tributes.

    In 2011, all 11 trees were in memo-riam gifts to the program. Last year eight memorial trees were planted on

    the fairgrounds.Of the 16 trees planted in 2013,

    three mark milestones, the 65th wed-ding anniversary of Marilyn and Ray Begg, the 100th anniversary of the Norwood IODE and the 160th anni-versary of Christ Church Anglican.

    Two trees were donated by indi-viduals and 11 are in memoriam.

    This years plantings start down the fairgrounds entrance at Alma Street and continue along the right hand side of the gravel driveway as it

    curves toward the horse barns. Those trees join the first plantings in 2009.

    There are two trees finishing off the arena entrance and two along-side the original horse barn on Alma Street.

    There are five honey locust, red maple and sugar maple trees and one red oak tree.

    Any tree damaged during the first year will be replaced, Allen-Bell said.

    The elegant tree dedication plaques

    were designed and made by Larry Bell and Raeburn Scott.

    This year memorial trees included those remembering Albert and Anne Crowley, Don Davidson, James Bon-neau, Clarke W. Holmes, Keenie and Edith Edmunds, Philip Blake, Howard Smith, Harvey Cuthbertson, John Netherway, Kent Stephens, Paul Mitchell and Isobel Wells.

    Individual trees were donated by Mitchel and Ashlyn Crowley and Mary Hay.

    dreds of communities across Canada.This year the federal government will

    provide more than $33 million to ap-proximately 1,750 community projects.

    was reasonably attended, said Schelle Holmes, who decided a special day was in order after encountering a lot of cases where businesses were saying they werent sure where to go for help. Their number unbelievably included businesses that have been around a while but were not aware of the many programs and services available in the community, she said.

    They include the Community Im-provement Plan the Municipality of Trent Hills has that helps fund faade improvements.

    Another is the Faster Forward Busi-ness Success Program offered by the Business Advisory Centre, that helps small businesses in retail, service, hospi-tality and small manufacturing increase their survival rate, retain existing jobs as well as create new ones, and strengthen working relationships with community partners. The program involves assign-ing coaches holding educational semi-nars.

    Theyll sit down with you, hear where youre at and then help you form a plan on where you want to go and they stay along with you [for] the ride to make sure you get there successfully, Holmes said.

    EMC News - Campbellford - A Kingston man has been charged in con-nection with the stabbing that took place in Campbellford June 1.

    Police said Michael Burnett, 36, was arrested without incident at a Sas-katoon Avenue residence June 12. He was charged with assault causing bodily harm.

    Northumberland OPP reported earlier this month a 30-year-old Campbellford man was stabbed several times on his arms and head in an unprovoked attack by a man behaving strangely. The vic-tim was taken by ambulance to Camp-bellford Memorial Hospital where he received 15 stitches before being re-leased.

    Firefighters will celebrate with safety messageBy Bill FreemanEMC News - Trent Hills - Trent Hills firefighters and the municipalitys Fire Prevention Team will combine Canada Day fun and games with a serious safety message about smoke alarms during an open house in Hastings and festivities in Campbellford and Warkworth.

    With the fire-related death rate in Ontario exceeding last years, the Trent Hills Fire Department urges residents to make sure they have working smoke alarms in their homes, says Fire Chief Tim Blake.

    Smoke alarms, whether battery-op-erated or electronically connected with a battery backup, should be tested to ensure their functionality, the Fire Pre-vention Team says.

    To help spread the word and educate landlords, tenants and homeowners, the fire department will host events in Hast-ings, Campbellford and Warkworth on July 1 as part of traditional Canada Day festivities.

    The mandatory requirement and fines for non-compliance are very clear, says

    Chief Blake.Ontario law requires working smok-

    ing alarms on every level in a home and outside all sleeping areas. Non-com-pliance can result in a $235 ticket or a fine of up to $50,000 for individuals or $100,000 for businesses.

    Spending $5 or $10 for a smoke alarm is a small price to pay for possibly saving your life in a fire, the Fire Pre-vention Team says.

    Chief Blake and the Fire Prevention Team also remind Trent Hills residents they should also develop and practise home fire escape plans so everyone knows what to do in case of a fire.

    Working smoke alarms and up-to-date and well-practised escape plans are two simple things that can save lives.

    Without smoke alarms or unmain-tained or disconnected alarms on all lev-els of a home, people will not be alerted in the event of a fire emergency, Chief Blake and the Fire Prevention Team say.

    The importance of early detection of a fire in your home is imperative to re-duce the probability that smoke alarms will not detect on all levels which could lead to occupants not being notified, says Chief Blake.

    That, he adds, could lead to delays in evacuation.

    In Hastings, the fire stations annual open house runs from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and will include junior challenges with numerous tasks to complete such as spraying water on a target, an obstacle course and other firefighting challenges.

    The Trent Hills Fire Department will combine a serious safety message about smoke alarms with traditional Canada Day fun on July 1 with an open house at the Hastings Fire Station and public events at Old Mill Park in Campbellford and Centennial Park in Warkworth. Photo: Bill Freeman

    The Trent Hills aerial fire truck will also be in action along with a display of fire-fighting gear and the tools and machines used by the fire and rescue service.

    Firefighters will also be serving up barbeque fare for a minimum $2 donation.

    There will be a free blood pressure checkup, a raffle table with lots of prizes and face-painting. Sparky the Safety Dog has also prom-ised to pay a visit.

    Firefighters from the Campbellford-Seymour fire station will be conducting demonstrations and hand-ing out fire prevention in-formation at Old Mill Park and Sparky will be on hand to start the festivities by leading the Teddy Bear Pa-rade.

    In Warkworth, firefight-ers will be grilling up hot dogs and handing out fire prevention information at Centennial Park.
