Council comfortable with purchase of home

New backpacks brighten childrens spirits

The original price that was being asked was $550,000 [but] that was not going to happen, he said.

The municipality offered $185,000 instead, based on an appraisal of the property it had commissioned, which was rejected. But council members were comfortable with increasing the offer by $20,000 last week, in order to get the deal done, he said.

Whether the county buys it or its somebody else, we will recoup our money.

Townsend said the money he was seeking was more about the impacts and whats gone on than anything, which have hurt his personal life and his career as an artist.

All I was hoping for was that they would consider that and do something reasonable, he said.

The only way that house was going to sell was if he was ready to give it away and somebody was willing to gamble.

Over the years Townsend voiced his displeasure with the mayor and non-elected officials by mounting displays on his property and painting statements on his home and garage.

I had a sign on the lawn six years ago that it was a fiasco and I still feel the same way, he said. His public

pronouncements were intended to draw awareness to questions that remain today about how the process is being handled, and why it was begun in the first place when a new bridge isnt needed for 20 years.

Im sick of it, Townsend said. I find the whole thing disturbing that this is how its been dealt with.

The bridge debate became a very divisive issue in town and you had a

very polarized community over it, with people for and against the Second Street crossing.

I, in particular, was a villain for opposing it, he said.

Macmillan said Townsends antics bothered a lot of people, including himself, for being a blight on our community. As for the personal insults my shoulders are big enough to handle that.

More than 50 volunteers filled and sorted backpacks at the Lions Club of Cobourg Community Centre August 14 and 15, for distribution to children of low income families. Photo: Submitted

By John CampbellNews - Northumberland - United Way Northumberland and its partners deserve a pat on the back for the Back Packs for Kids program.

Last week more than 50 volunteers and 18 local children and youth agencies spent two days stuffing and sorting 1,700 backpacks for distribution to elementary and high school students throughout Northumberland County.

That brought the total number of back packs that have been given out since the first 100 were distributed nine years ago to 10,000.

The program is very important to the people it helps, United Way Northumberland CEO Lynda Kay said.

Returning to school can be a very stressful time for low-income families who are sometimes faced with the choice

of buying school supplies or new clothing for their children.

Theres a lot of hidden poverty in this county, Kay said. Unfortunately, we have families that really try to make ends meet but just cant because they no longer have their manufacturing job or theyre working two or three jobs. Its a challenge out there for families.

And that affects the childrens self-esteem and feelings about going back to school, she said.

The Back Packs for Kids program helps to dispel the anxiety they might be feeling.

We get some really nice testimonials back from families and the agencies as they visit their clients, Kay said. Some of the stories are really heart-wrenching in telling how they have made a difference in their lives, she said.

The non-identifiable backpacks are filled with supplies

that are age appropriate for each recipient.

Every year we need to raise about $35,000 to cover the cost, Kay said.

Fifteen partnersbusinesses, service clubs, community organizations, the county, and Port Hopeprovided the necessary funding.

United Way relies on the child and youth agencies to provide the numbers on how many children are to be helped.

The need might be greater than the program currently provides for, Kay acknowledged.

Im sure we dont touch everybody but we certainly try our best, she said.

The largest number of backpacks were distributed in the Cobourg area (35 per cent), followed by Port Hope (21 per cent), Trent Hills (20 per cent), Brighton (12 per cent) and Cramahe Township (10 per cent).

There was a variety of boats of different vintage and models, everything from a racing boat to a row boat.

We all do our own work, said Watt.

Restoration is a labour of love, he admitted, but members are dedicated

to acquiring new boats, keeping them going and having fun.

They spend cold winter months chasing down parts, rebuilding and maintenance and always longing for boating season.

When the waters hard you cant do it, said Watt.

Farley said she was pleased by the

number of volunteers they were able to attract and was especially happy that students interested in their mandatory volunteer hours signed on.

Still, she says the festival committee itself needs more volunteer help.

This year has been very hard; there were too many things to do for too few [people].

We will need some new members.

But we had a lot of volunteers Friday night and everybody was dancing around, she said.

The festival committee will hold an appreciation dinner later in the summer for its volunteers.

The Saturday night program was

by popular demand, she said.Last year we finished at 5 p.m.

and people were asking why are you closing.

Along with the artisans, vendors and food and refreshments there was a presentation by Jungle Cat World, a petting zoo, a childrens play area and a huge classic car show on Sunday.

Government doing spectacular job with energyBy John CampbellNews - Trent Hills - Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli said the Liberal govern-ment erred in cancelling two gas plants but it has done a spectacular job in improving the provinces energy situa-tion.

In an interview following a ceremony marking the 100th anniversary of the Healey Falls Generating Station August 15, Chiarelli said, its important to put in context the governments two siting mistakes which have cost taxpayers at least $585 million.

What the two cancelled projects in Mississauga and Oakville represented

in terms of capacity is not all that significant a very, very small percentage of the amount of energy thats produced in Ontario, he told The Independent.

Whats at issue is the governments credibility, he said. That doesnt impact negatively on what were doing in the power system [which] is spectacular.

Before the Liberals were elected in 2003, Ontario had experienced a loss of generation [and] transmission capacity, Chiarelli said. Since then his party has created more than 13,000 megawatts of new power, and invested

$9 billion to expand and upgrade its transmission system.

We went from a power deficit to a power surplus, he said. In doing all that, weve virtually eliminated dirty coal-burning generation, weve made the air cleaner, and earned international recognition as having the best pollution elimination record in almost the entire world.

There have been some bumps in the road amongst all that success, [including] how weve been siting some of our renewable projects and part of it is the politics around those two gas plants, Chiarelli said. In

the overall scheme of things its a spectacular success [but] that doesnt excuse any mistakes weve made with respect to these two gas plants. Weve learned some lessons and were moving forward.

The energy minister pointed out there are tremendous savings being realized by Ontario Power Generation [OPG] and Hydro One in the supply and distribution of energy.

Hydro One has a cost-containment policy thats saving it $750 million a year and OPG is reducing its annual operating costs by $350 million, he said.

What you might be describing as waste because of decisions [involving the two gas plants], we have generated a lot more efficiency to cover that off and more, Chiarelli said. Thats not making excuses for what has happened, he emphasized, but its important to keep it in perspective. We have a very, very successful energy system and infrastructure in the province right now compared to the brownouts and the shortage that we had in 2003.

Ontarios electricity grid is in much better shape, he said, and has been consistently rated among the top ten in North America of all the jurisdictions.

By Bill FreemanNews - Havelock - The proposed $500,000 Plato Creek Bridge project is one of several in the Kawartha re-gion that will receive $14 million in funding from the provincial govern-ment.

The good news was of cially re-vealed last week by Ontario Minister of Rural Affairs and Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal during a public event in Peterborough.

The bridge project will receive $254,000 from Ontarios Municipal Infrastructure Strategy.

The total cost of the project is es-timated at $500,000 and the munici-pality is prepared to fund 50 per cent of that cost through 2012 reserves ($155,000), the 2013 gas tax ($78,494) and 2013 taxation ($16,506).

It had applied to the province for $250,000 and made it through the preliminary pre-screening stage of the Municipal Investment Initiative (MII).

Municipal staff met several times to discuss potential projects that might be eligible for MII funding mulling over the merits of the King Street rehabili-tation, an elevated water tower for the water distribution system, equipment for Well No. 3 and the Plato Creek Bridge.

It was deemed that the Plato Creek Bridge project would be the project for consideration due to the timing and the amount of information re-quired to satisfy the requirements for MII, a report by township treasurer Val Nesbitt, director of public works Brian McMillan and manager of infra-structure Peter Deshane prepared for council earlier this year.

Among the local projects included in the 16-item list are replacing the existing Gravel Road Box culvert in Trent Hills ($405,000); building a new septic bed at the wastewater facility in Marmora and Lake ($907,000); replac-ing Empey Bridge with a new one in Madoc Township ($572,000); upgrad-ing the southern portion of the con-necting link to Highway 62 in Centre Hastings ($1.4 million); replacing the old Inglis Road Bridge in Alnwick-Haldimand to allow for buses and larger vehicles to use it ($247,000); replacing Ruttans Bridge east of the Village of Northbrook ($549,000); replacing the single-lane Bogart Road

By Bill FreemanNews - Havelock - Leashed dogs will be able to enjoy Ro-tary Park and several other township properties but not the soccer eld or ball park.

Township council clari- ed prohibited and permitted areas for leashed dogs in a bylaw that will be reviewed a year from now. Council-lors were also openly critical of dog owners who refuse to scoop up their dogs waste while out walking calling these discourteous pet own-ers a disgrace.

Dogs are banned from the arena and its park area and playground, ball diamond, bleachers and parking lot; theyre also prohibited from using the Concession Street park across from Tim Hor-tons, the soccer eld off In-dustrial Drive and Old Nor-wood Road practice eld.

Leashed dogs can use mu-

nicipal properties like Rotary Park, the Kosh Lake Beach area and the Lions Parkade along Highway #7.

The Matheson conserva-tion land north of the arena is exempt from the bylaw.

The poop and scoop provisions in the municipal-itys 2008 dog control bylaw remain in force with a maxi-mum ne of $5,000.

Signs will be posted indi-cating prohibited areas.

Id like to see us give this a try, said Councillor Jim Martin who supported a re-view next year to see if there are any problems out there.

Sometimes these bylaws get put in and forgotten about until theres a real issue, Martin said.

Martin said previous legis-lation that banned dogs in all parks was too hard.

Weve been hearing over

Plato Creek Bridge, other local projects get provincial boost

Bridge in Tweed with a two-lane bridge ($765,000).

Rural Ontario has unique and diverse infrastructure needs, Leal said. By col-laborating and consulting with our local and regional partners, we are providing communities with revital-ized critical infrastructure.

Most Municipal Infra-

structure Strategy funding is being provided to communi-ties with populations under 20,000. The province has al-ready committed $9 million through the program to help small, rural and northern municipalities prepare asset management plans.

We feel [Plato Creek Bridge] would be a perfect

Bylaw clari es dog-friendly parks

project for us to take on, McMillan told council at the time of the pre-screening application. We feel com-fortable that this is a good number to go to the province with.

HBM has already received $21,397 from the province to help it prepare a comprehensive asset management plan; having a comprehensive asset management plan in place is going to be a future prerequisite that upper level of governments will expect mu-nicipalities to have to be eligible for funding.

Bylaw clarifies dog-friendly parksthe past few years Why? he said.

There are areas were they should be allowed. I think this [bylaw] is well done. There are a couple of parks where dogs should be allowed; I understand why we dont want dogs at the soccer or baseball field. I think Rotary Park is a great place to walk your dog.

At this point were not looking at off-leash parks, were looking at on-leash, Martin stressed. The ones that are in this bylaw are a great start.

But the township needs to mon-itor poop and scoop, he added.

There are people who still go out and wont scoop, Councillor

Barry Pomeroy said. Personally, dogs shouldnt be in the play-grounds; who wants their chil-dren stepping in dog dirt because someone was too lazy to pick it up? We do have some different scenarios now.

It is a good draft, Councillor Larry Ellis added.

I believe we have to protect some park areas but also need to open up some where people can take their dogs, Ellis said.

Ellis also chided pet owners who dont clean up after their dogs.

Its disgusting and its too bad there are these kinds of people in town that do that.

I think this is a very good

start, said Deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe. I always believed we lacked access behind the arena to get to the Matheson property that needed to be addressed and this fixes that.

Sharpe did wonder about public swimming areas.

Where people are swimming, is that where you want to have dogs? he asked.

We have to recognize some pieces of municipal property where people feel comfortable taking their dogs, Mayor Ron Gerow said.

On poop and scoop Gerow said: Some people are making it very difficult for everyone else. Its a major concern.

By Bill FreemanNews - Norwood - For the first time ever the Asphodel-Norwood Historical Society has all of its display cases under one roof.

The historical societys large collection of artefacts, documents, newspapers, fam-ily histories, memorabilia and shelving now has a safe, climate-controlled home in unused space at the townships new public works building on Highway #7.

Items were moved last week from the cramped, tiny basement space in the Pine Street Centre which had left the irreplace-able trove open to damage; now it is safe and can finally be inventoried, displayed and protected in a way members had al-ways hoped could happen.

Now that weve got all our display cases together we can make better use of them, Society president Judy Chaplin said.

The township was trying to facilitate

a move for the collection to empty space at Norwood District High School but the public school board was asking $10,000 a year, far too rich for anyone involved.

Chaplin called that fee ridiculous.Not only does the Societys growing

collection have a safe, spacious and bright new home, Chaplin says individual mem-bers who have been keeping material will feel much more comfortable giving it to the Society.

We like it, its bright and its out of the basement, she said of the downstairs and upstairs rooms that are being used. Now we can have all the family histories and newspapers in one spot. We can even bring the clothing and stuff.

The Society purchased four, six-shelf chrome steel units that are each capable of holding 3,600 pounds of material.

Our newspapers will take up at least two of the shelves, said Chaplin.

She says the new space is ideal for working on research and collating materi-al. The Pine Street Centre was not always an inviting space for that kind of work.

We can do all kinds of work, eventual-ly wed like to get a computer, and printer and photocopier.

The display cases had been stored at the Pine Street Centre and Norwood Town Hall.

They belong to us but we had no room for them over there, she said.

Theres lots and lots of stuff; it took us two days to get it all packed up. Its good to have it in one spot. Were definitely pleased with this.

This should be an incentive for people to bring things out of their basements, Chaplin added.

Hopefully when we get everything set up the way wed like to well have an open house.

By Bill FreemanNews - Norwood - Asphodel-Norwood council has promised to give the Sunday gun hunting issue a full airing during its October meeting.

The decision was a response to a request from Brian McRae of the Ontario Federa-tion of Anglers and Hunters who made a strong presentation to council last week. Asphodel-Norwood is the only municipali-ty in Peterborough County, and only one of three in eastern Ontario, that doesnt allow Sunday gun hunting in the township during hunting seasons.

Im in favour of it and for avid hunters your point is well made, Deputy-mayor Joe Crowley said. I think theres probably a silent majority within the municipality and the county [in favour of Sunday gun hunting in season].

I would like to see this on the agenda as soon as possible and get on with it, Crow-ley said.

Crop damage by wildlife, an 86 per cent increase in vehicle collisions with wildlife and economic impact are key reasons why Asphodel-Norwood should allow Sunday gun hunting, said McRae, the OFAH zone-member and club services liaison.

He noted that 155 municipalities in southern Ontario have already endorsed in-season Sunday gun hunting.

By John CampbellNews - Warkworth - The Warkworth Fair will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 4-H program in Canada.

To draw attention to the youth organizations centennial, the Percy Agricultural Society has adopted the theme of Heri-tage, Harvest, Heart and Home for its 163rd fair and invited one of 4-H Ontarios five ambassa-dors, Rebecca Posthumus, from

Stirling-Rawdon, to participate in the September 6, 7 and 8 event, including the opening ceremonies at noon on the Sat-urday, September 7.

Children unfamiliar with life on the farm will be given the opportunity to pretend theyre milking a cow, with the help of a life-sized replica, Maple.

Also new to the fair this year is an antique shingle making machine, and the Cow Pattie

Historical society makes big move

Chaplin couldnt say how permanent the move is because there is always the possibility the townships

municipal office could be moved to the public works building at some future date.

The Historical Society will still hold its monthly meetings at the Norwood Legion, she stressed.

Sunday gun hunting back to council in OctoberAsphodel-Norwood could approve it by

a simple motion and have its name added to the Ministry of Natural Resources list. In all likelihood, McRae said approval would mean Sunday gun hunting would be ready to start by next springs wild turkey hunt.

This would be just for the existing hunting season, McRae stressed.

Sunday hunting, he added, would add only 20 and 25 days to hunting seasons and would actually shorten some, like those for migra-tory birds which are federally governed.

The Ministry of Natural Resources, the OFAH and the Ontario Federation of Ag-

riculture believe that by adjusting existing hunting regulations to allow gun hunting on Sundays during existing hunting season [it] will increase harvest levels, decrease predation on crops and livestock, help in-crease public safety and potentially provide increased economic activity, he said.

For anyone who feels that allowing Sunday hunting would increase the dan-ger to anyone walking the woods, they are more likely to be hit by lightning or bitten by an insect than being bothered by a hunt-er, McRae added.

If the threat to public safety doesnt ex-

ist from Monday to Saturday why should it be any greater on Sunday?

McRae says over $50 million a year in crop damage is caused by wildlife and that coyotes and wolves have become a major threat to fawns and calves across Southern Ontario.

Many municipalities are finding that livestock predation is becoming a frequent and costly burden.

Hunting is the most cost-effective wildlife management tool available and without it the MNR would not be able to cope with growing wildlife populations,

McRae said.As well, millions of dollars in damage

is caused by the 15,000 vehicular collisions with wildlife that occur each year, he said. Ninety per cent of those collisions occur on two-lane roads outside of urban areas.

Hunting in Ontario generates $1.5 billion in economic activity every year, McRae said, and adding Sunday gun hunt-ing would be a boon to the local economy.

Mayor Doug Pearcy welcomed further discussion although he noted that they havent had any people from the commu-nity asking for this.

Warkworth Fair to pay tribute to 4-H centennialBingo has been replaced with Mini Plop Bingo, with a miniature pony to assume the duties formerly per-formed by a cow.

Organizers are hoping the weath-er will be better this time around for Tom Bishops Wild, Wild West Show, which was forced to move into the Cow Palace last year be-cause of rain.

Featuring trick roping, knife throwing, sharp shooting, rugged cowboys and beautiful cowgirls, the show is scheduled to run at 1 and 7 p.m. September 7.

With all the events weve got going on, we have a fair that will keep everybody busy for the whole weekend, agricultural society pres-ident Greg Torrance said. The big thing everybody will want to see is the Wild West Show (whose per-

formers have appeared on CBCs Murdoch Mysteries).

Tickets are still available for the elimination draw for a 2013 Dodge Avenger. The $25 tickets can be purchased at Warkworth Farm Sup-ply, Scotts Variety, Campbellford Chrysler, and in Hastings, from Hap and June Switzer at 705-696-2288.

Without the agricultural soci-etys major fund raiser, wed have a hard time putting on the fair, said secretary Tracy Russell.

The draw will start at noon Sep-tember 8.

Strut Your Mutt went over very well last year and will be back again, with prizes for best dressed, resemblance to owner, largest, smallest, and waggliest tail, Rus-sell said.

The fair starts off Friday night

with a demolition derby.Homecraft director Janet Tor-

rance said more exhibitors are wanted, for all areas of homecraft, which includes preserves, baked goods, flower displays, vegetables, quilts, and photography.

They have to set up for judging on Thursday night [September 5] or Friday morning [September 6] at the latest.

They can just come and well get them a number and a ticket and theyre all good to go, she said.

The full program can be viewed online at .

Torrance and Russell said the agricultural society is always look-ing for volunteers and ideas. To get involved call Torrance at 705-924-3108 or Russell at 905-344-7709.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Gwynne Dyer

Editorial - Its a silly question, obvi-ously, but it still has to be asked. What, if anything, should the rest of the world do about the trag-edy in Egypt? The same question has been hanging in the air about the even greater Syrian trag-edy for well over a

year now, and it is starting to come up again in Iraq as well.

All three of the biggest countries in the heart of the Arab world are now in a state of actual or incipient civil war. The death toll in the Syria civil war last month was 4,400 people. More than 1,000 people were killed by bombs and bullets last month in Iraq, the bloodiest month in the past five years. And at least 1,000 people have been killed in Egypt in the past week, the vast majority of them unarmed civilians murdered by the army.

You will note that I did not write killed in clashes. Thats the sort of weasel-word formula that the media use when they do not want to offend powerful friends. Lets be plain: the Egyptian army is deliberately massacring supporters of the democratically elected Muslim Brotherhood government that it overthrew last June (whom it now brands as terrorists) in order to terrorise them into submission.

The deep state is coming back in Egypt, and the useful idiots who now believe that the army is on their side, the secular democrats of the left and the opportunistic Noor Party on the religious right, will in due course find themselves back in the same old police stations, being tortured by the same old goons. So should outsiders just stand by and watch it all happen?

What are the alternatives? Well, President Barack Obama told the generals off in no uncertain terms after the biggest massacre on August 14. We appreciate the complexity of the situation, he said sternly. We recognise that change takes time, he added, his anger mounting steadily. There are going to be false starts and difficult days, he said, almost shaking with rage.

We know that democratic transitions are measured not in months or even years but sometimes in generations, he concluded, but our traditional co-operation cannot continue as usual when civilians are being killed in the streets and rights are being rolled back. And with that, he cancelled the Bright Star joint U.S.-Egyptian military exercise that was scheduled for September. The Egyptian generals must have been trembling in their boots.

Just in case they werent, Obama added that Ive asked my national security team to assess the implications of the actions taken by the [Egyptian] interim government and further steps we may take as necessary with respect to the U.S.-Egyptian relationship. Curiously, the Egyptian generals did not stop killing people upon hearing all this.

The inaction of the United States is due to two causes. First, the only major leverage at Barack Obamas disposal, cancelling the annual $1.3 billion in aid that Washington gives to the Egyptian army, is no threat at all. It would instantly be replaced, and probably increased, by the rich and conservative Arab monarchies of the Gulf that heartily approve of the Egyptian armys coup.

Second, Washington remains transfixed by the notion that its alliance with Egypt is important for American security. This hoary myth dates back to the long-gone days when the U.S. depended heavily on importing oil from the Gulf, and almost all of it had to pass through Egypts Suez Canal. Today less than ten per cent of the

oil burned in America comes from the Middle East, and new domestic production from fracking is shrinking that share even further.

Even if Obama understood that Egypt is not a vital American strategic interest and ended U.S. military aid to the country, it would only be a gesture (although a desirable one). The International Monetary Fund has already broken off talks on a large new loan to Egypt, and the European Union is talking about cutting aid to the country, but there are no decisive measures available to anybody outside the Arab world, and no willingness to act within it.

There will be no major military intervention in Syria either, although outside countries both within the Arab world and beyond it will continue to drip-feed supplies to their preferred side. And the Iraqi governments request last Friday for renewed U.S. military aid to stave off renewed civil war there has no hope of success. Getting involved again militarily in Iraq would be political suicide for Obama.

So whats left of the Arab spring? On the face of it, not much. Tunisia, where the first democratic revolution started three years ago, still totters forward, and there is more democracy in Morocco than there used to be, but thats about it. The non-violent democratic revolutions that have worked so well in many other parts of the world are not doing very well in the Arab world.

There may be many reasons for this, but one stands out above all the others. In the Arab world, unlike most other places, two rival solutions to the existing autocracy, poverty and oppression compete for popular support: democracy and Islamism. The result, in one country after another, is that the autocrats exploit that division to retain or regain power. Democracy may win in the end, but it is going to be a very long struggle.

Editorial - After spending four days photographing some of biggest names in country music at the twen-ty-fourth annual Havelock Country Jamboree and watching the natural concert field fill up with upwards of 15,000 fans each day, I thought it might be a good idea to write about the so-called creative clusters con-tribution to both the local and pro-vincial economy.

It is rather significant, $12.2 billion in Gross Domestic Product for Ontarios economy every year, a GDP thats now larger than the provinces energy sector and greater than the agriculture, forestry and mining sectors combined.

But Im not; at least not this time out.

I changed my mind after reading the profoundly disturbing, filthily vile letter attacking a 13-year-old Newcastle boy who happens to have Autism Spectrum Disorder. The appalling letter has rallied a neighbourhood determined to find out who the author isthe letter-writing crypto-Nazi claims to live nearbysparked a police investigation.

Its my hope the police find and charge the letter writer. Public shaming will not be enough.

This is a teachable moment, an explicitly clear example of hate literature, one that produces an initial reaction that is nothing short of rage; the feeling of anger is justified, but responding in anger is not, even though the letter writer encourages the young boys family to have the young boy euthanized.

Do the right thing, the enraged writer wails.

You selfishly put your kid outside every day and let him be a nothing but a nuisance and a problem to everyone else with that noise polluting whaling (sic) he constantly makes!!! That noise he makes when he is outside is DREADFUL!!!!!!!!!! It scares the hell out of my normal children!!!!!!!!! it states.

Crying babies, music and even barking dogs are normal sounds in a residential neighbourhood!!!!! He is not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The exclamation marks and angry capitalizations are exactly as they appear in the letter, daggers of hate, and daggers of ignorance.

The letter writer embraces and

celebrates a bilious personal attitude toward one boy, and by extension, all of Ontarios more than 100,000 citizens affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder. It was an attitude that became entrenched public policy in Nazi Germany where those with ASD and other differences were summarily murdered or used for unspeakable scientific purposes.

And here we are 80 years later and the Nazis deranged world view springs to life in a Newcastle neighbourhood, in a letter by a woman who claims to be a mother herself.

The writer goes on to say the boy is a nuisance and will always be that way!!!!!! Who the hell is going to care for him????????? No employer will hire him, no normal girl is going to marry/love him and you are not going to live forever!!

They should take whatever non retarded body parts he possesses and donate it to science, the letter says. I HATE people like you who believe, just because you have a special needs kid, you are entitled to special treatment!!! GOD!!!!

Go live in a trailer in the woods or something with your wild animal kid!!! Nobody wants you living here and they dont have the guts to tell you!!!!!

The nauseating letter is very difficult to read, for the family it must have been close to impossible, certainly heartbreaking.

What is cheering is the support the family has received from neighbours and those connected to the issue through Twitter, Facebook and other social media and Internet platforms. There is a groundswell of solidarity from people who know the challenges faced by families with autistic children as well as from people untouched by ASD.

They are joined together by a common humanity, touched by the grievous wrong done to this family. We can all imagine how we would react in a similar situation; it would be much more than a nettling pain, it would be a world turned upside down by the relentless cruelty of one persons foul view of someone who is different than they are.

Sadly, hatred remains a powerful force in our world, evident every single day across the globe.

Dear Editor,The drive into Brighton from the 401 is

a pleasant one with scenic rural vistas and well-maintained roads. This picture comes to a crashing halt when proceeding south on Young Street just past the 50-kilometre limit sign.

To make a long story short, the road (Young Street) is a mess with patches of unfinished asphalt, areas of uneven roads, bumps that could shake fillings out of teeth and vibrations from heavy vehicles that have sent wall-hung objects crashing to the floor. As residents of this road, we have received damage to our home such as cracks in walls and ceilings and our front picture window has lost its vacuum. We have lost our quality of life.

I am at my wits end to find a solution to this dilemma. I have organized a petition

to have the road brought up to minimum standards and presented the petition during a delegation to council to no avail. Young Street is the main route into Brighton, Presquile Park and other tourist destinations in Prince Edward County. Its a heavily used link from the 401 and its condition puts this municipality in a particularly bad light.

Traffic counts have been done by local residents which note that from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. a total of 3,600 cars and light trucks and 548 heavy vehicles were recorded. I guarantee you that if a member of council lived on this street, it would have been repaired yesterday.

Council is reminded that the legal system of Ontario imposes responsibilities under Ontario Regulation 239/02 upon municipalities to maintain Minimum maintenance standards

for municipal highways.I can appreciate that there is only so

much money each year for road work, however, considering that, the municipality has a duty of care (in Ontario the duty of care is legislated by S.44 of the Municipal Act). The municipality found bags of money in reserves to buy spare industrial land, however, no one thought of all the additional traffic this expansion will bring. Lets see them do the same for a critical roadway and potential accident zone.

I would like to point out that Andrew Drzewiecki, director of public works and development has been very obliging and has done everything in his power to help us but his hands are tied.

Yours truly,Stan Parkinson,

A Brighton resident for 48 years

29THANNIVERSARY

R0012267788


News - Northumberland County The Peterborough Victoria Northumber-land and Clarington Catholic (PVNCC) District School Board has appointed its new director of education and secretary treasurer of the board, Barbara McMor-row.

The board encompasses a large and diverse geographic area and delivers Catholic education to more than 14,000 students in 31 elementary and six sec-ondary schools.

In a press release from the board it stated, its trustees look forward to working with Ms. McMorrow who has an unwavering commitment to further-ing the mission and ministry of Catholic

education and an outstanding track re-cord of building community to improve student learning.

McMorrow is currently superinten-dent of 22 elementary and four second-ary schools in the Toronto Catholic Dis-trict School Board, having previously served in the role of executive corporate secretary and senior board liaison of -cer to the board.

Prior to becoming a superintendent McMorrow was a secondary school principal, director of professional learning for the Catholic Principals Council of Ontario and served as chair of the Institute for Education Leader-ship.

Her leadership roles, both at the board and provincial levels, enable her to bring a wide breadth and depth of knowledge in cutting edge educational theory and practice and keen advocacy for excellence and equity to our Catho-lic education system, stated the press release.

The board is very pleased that Ms. McMorrow is dedicated to forging partnerships among parents, teachers, and community members in the inter-est of students as we continue to strive to achieve the full potential of the On-tario Catholic School graduate expecta-tions and Catholic social teachings in our schools, said Granville Anderson,

board chair.I am grateful to have this opportu-

nity to lead and serve the board. I have long been aware of the important contri-bution that the board has made to Catho-lic education in the province, said Mc-Morrow.

I look forward to working with the trustees, staff, students, parents, parish-es, and our many other community part-ners, so that together, we can continue to Impart the Spirit, she added.

Anderson extends his appreciation of the board for, the excellent leadership that has been provided by outgoing Di-rector Greg Reeves and wishes him all the best in his retirement.

By John CampbellNews - Trent Hills - A century of pow-er produced by water flowing through the turbines at the Healey Falls Gener-ating Station was celebrated with the unveiling of a plaque August 15.

Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli also used the occasion to announce the provincial government plans to add another 90 megawatts of hydro-elec-tricity over the next five years the equivalent of more than four Healey Falls generating stations. Its four units have a combined capacity of slightly more than 18 megawatts.

He also noted the third Niagara tunnel officially opened recently at the Sir Adam Beck generating com-plex will boost its production by 150 megawatts, and there are more proj-ects under way elsewhere that will further add those numbers, such as the 450-megawatt hydro-electric proj-ect on the Lower Mattagami River in northern Ontario.

Chiarelli also announced that the province was giving the Ontario Water-power Association (OWA) a $50,000 grant to do a survey and make an as-sessment as to how much more capac-ity there is in northern Ontario for the generation of hydro-electric power.

OWA president Paul Norris said the 100-year-old Healey Falls Generating Station north of Campbellford is an outstanding example of how afford-able, reliable and durable water pow-er is.

Its one of more 200 hydro-electric facilities in the province that serve as the main source for renewable en-ergy in the province, responsible for a quarter of all electricity produced in Ontario.

Trent Hills Mayor Hector Mac-millan said green energy is just a way of life for residents in the municipal-ity because weve been doing it for a hundred years, with other generat-ing stations along the Trent River. He pointed out that Campbellford had streetlights operating just two weeks after New York City did.

Norris said afterward that there are about 2,600 potential hydroelectric sites across the province

Weve got a pretty good handle on the potential in the south, most of which will involve retrofitting exist-ing structures, optimizing what you already have, he said.

The Ranney Falls Generating Sta-tion in Campbellford is a candidate for such a project.

Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has proposed replacing a turbine unit

that has reached its end of life with a unit of greater capacity, which would increase the stations overall capac-ity from 10 to 20 megawatts, enough electricity to power 8,000 to 10,000 homes.

Chris Young, OPGs vice-president of hydroelectric and thermal project execution, said in an interview that the next step to move forward with Ranney Falls would be to get a con-tract with the Ontario Power Author-ity.

OPG, which operates as a com-mercial company, needs to be able to recover its investment and operating costs and make a profit so that be-comes the deciding factor.

The ministers announcement about procuring 90 megawatts of additional hydroelectricity may present an op-portunity.

By Bill FreemanNews - Havelock - Campbellford Me-morial Hospital fans love country music and they showed their love by snapping up the Best Seats in the House at the 24th annual Havelock Country Jamboree.

In bidding to win stage-cozy seats in front of the likes of Trace Adkins, Reba McEntire, Wynonna Judd, Gord Bam-ford, Travis Tritt, Charlie Daniels and Kix Brooks they were also giving the CMH Foundations digital mammogra-phy campaign an enormous boost.

In fact, the Best Seats in the House auction raised close to $15,000 during the four-day event, said Foundation ex-ecutive director John Russell.

Its really exciting, he said as the Trace and Reba countdown moved clos-er to show time. Everybody is coming in with different prices but Reba and Trace are by a long way the most popu-lar. The Jamboree folks have been great partners and we are just thrilled. Were hoping for the partnership to continue.

The seats were by far the best in the house and Russell said successful bid-ders jaws just dropped when they real-ized how great they were.

Russell says they are about half-way to the $700,000 they have to reach for the diagnostic equipment.

We hope to have the money raised by the end of the year and have it in place by the spring, he said. Were still looking for donors.

The Best Seats initiative was also a chance for the CMH to raise public awareness about the hospital and cancer screening.

The Jamboree folks do a lot for the community, said Russell. Were not the only charity here, the Lions Club, the Rotary Club and the Girl Guides are here as well. So its a good opportunity to raise funds for the hospital but also to get the word out about what were do-ing. Right now the digital mammogra-phy unit is the highest priority piece of equipment for the hospital.

Digital mammography and cancer diagnostic equipment is something very near and dear to Paula and Ed [Jamboree owners Paula Chopik and Ed Leslie].

Russell also applauded the perform-ers for allowing those seats to be used for the fund-raising auction.

Each of the performers had to sign off on it as well and some of them have been nice enough to sign stuff for us.

Among the autographed items were a couple of bras which the Foundation plans to auction off at a later date.

This has been a great event, the weather has been terrific and its run like clockwork. Its been such a great orga-nized activity.

Russell also pointed out that CMH is there to serve Jamboree fans should they need medical assistance.

Were there to service events like this and the Jamboree recognizes that.

By Sue DickensNews - Campbellford - I had just turned 38 so I never thought about breast cancer.

Those are the words of can-cer survivor Angela Simmons, a Campbellford mother of four who beat her bout with cancer after it was discovered in April 2008.

Her story is one of angst and bravery from the moment she discovered a lump in her breast during a self-exam while having a shower to participation with her family and friends in the Trent Hills Relay for Life.

She hopes her story will help others who are going through the same battle while at the same time emphasize the importance of supporting the annual fund-raising event.

I had just done breastfeeding so I thought the lump could have

been a plugged duct, she said.Because she was so young her

doctor didnt think it could be cancer either.

I told her I want a mammo-gram. She said we dont usually give one to women your age. You are healthy, a non-smoker, youve had four kids, you exercise, you are not the kind of person who would get cancer, she was told.

Persevering she pushed for a mammogram and six weeks later it was done.

The results were received ten days later.

A needle biopsy was ordered and seven days after that she re-ceived the bad news.

I got a phone call. I remem-ber it completely. It was 3:30 in the afternoon. He said I have bad news. One of the lumps is can-cer; it is aggressive. You need to

contact the surgeon and you need surgery immediately I hit the floor.

She made a decision to have a mastectomy and spent the next eight weeks in recovery.

I couldnt drive, I couldnt lift so I had to have home care, ar-ranged through the [Central East] Community Access Centre, she said.

Her life as she knew it had come to a grinding halt.

Chemotherapy made her sick and she lost all her hair but she persevered.

Then radiation followed and four reconstructive surgeries.

Her dad passed away during this time as well.

I had so much support from this community, said Simmons.

For Simmons it was exactly what she needed to get well.

This community, its amaz-ing. I grew up here so everybody pretty much knows everybody. Its almost like if it affects you it affects the whole community, she said.

And so she decided to give back.

This is her fourth year at Relay for Life. Her team is called the Crazy Canadian Cancer Curers and includes her family.

Its important for people to realize that the Relay for Life all this money is going to help people with cancer when they need it, she said.

Part of the money is now go-ing to the digital mammography machine at the hospital.

The partnership was an-nounced last year.

And the latest news is that Sim-mons is one of five poster girls

By Bill FreemanNews - Hastings - Three years ago when Melody Mac-Donald of Twoloom Alpacas was invited to participate in the Hastings Fibre Festival she wondered if they would fit in.

I really didnt think we had a place with the alpacas and what we were doing, MacDonald told the Trent Hills Independent. Then I got involved and listened to what was being said inside and re-alized it really did fit in.

I was very surprised to see how well I fit in with the fibre and the education thing, she said.

MacDonald is able to talk to visitors as a farmer, artisan and educator thrilled by the success the 12-acre farm has had since its beginning seven years ago; she is also able to speak authoritatively about the industry and its desire to see more people get involved in alpaca farming.

We need more farmers; we have an industry just in the baby steps; we know the value chain is there, we know the steps we have to make; we just need more people so we can have more fleece so we can get into producing some really nice stuff.

As MacDonald notes, al-pacas, although an ancient animal that was domesticated over 5,000 years ago, only ar-rived in North America in the 1980s and in that compara-tively short period of time con-sumers have discovered that alpaca is warmer than wool, softer and hypo-allergenic.

The whole movement is back to natural fibres, natu-ral colours, everything as natural as we can get. Weve been through the synthetic stage and now were going back to natural fibres and alpacas fit in with that ex-tremely well.

MacDonald and her partner Dawn Campbell are happy they chose alpacas.

In the last year it has re-ally taken right off, she says.

Twoloom Alpacas was in-vited to be part of the Creative Arts Festival in Toronto and will be back again this year with a bigger booth and fash-ion stage.

We couldnt keep product on the table; people knew, they know what alpaca was. We were surprised and pleased.

MacDonald is excited about the fashion stage and says they have garments ready to be displayed to show the public what alpaca is all about.

These are very exciting times so the Fibre Festival re-ally ties in now.

More artisans than ever want to work with alpaca fleece; theyve even had writ-ers and painters come out to the farm and sit with some of their 38 alpacas.

Its been very glorious, she said. Its been quite a journey; we were not really sure this was going to turn out [but] we stuck in there and it now its exploded.

Twoloom Alpacas, located on County Road 35 will hold its Alpaca Farm Day open house September 28 and 29.

Its been very glorious alpaca owner says

Fibre festival brings vibrant community together

By Bill FreemanEvents - Hastings - Coloursrich, varied and confidently boldruled the Hastings Civic Centre during the fourth annual Hastings Fibre Festival which filled the hall with textile artistry.

A Hastings Founders Week event, the festival brought together experts, scholars, local artisans and textile enthusiasts as part of a cel-ebration of rural arts.

Weve moved from being a one-day event to being a whole ex-perience and thats what tourism is looking for, said Skye Morrison, artistic director of Founders Week and organizer of the Fibre Festi-val and workshops that were held earlier in the week at the Hastings Legion and Morrisons own Front Street East studio.

We need people to come and stay and thats part of what this is about, she said.

The festival, she added, was also part of a more comprehen-sive textile tourism event. People

will come and stay for a whole week and participate in different activities.

Included in the week-long series of workshops and activities was Lang Pioneer Village Museums Festival of Textiles on August 18 which showcased the new S.W. Lowry Weaver Shop which had three different types of looms in operation including a rare Jacquard Loom. There was also a fibre art-ists marketplace, demonstrations and music by Appalachian Celtic and Pearls of Time.

Its a really auspicious begin-ning of what we hope will go on in future years, Morrison said. It takes about three years to establish something so I think this day is es-tablished.

The whole festival and partner-ship with Lang went really well for our first try, she added.

Theres no boundary for tour-ists. We see whats here and whats part of our world and I think thats really beautiful.

What she likes about the Fibre Festival is that it doesnt just attract experts but also the best of the lo-cal community groups, everything from retail (the Number One Sew-ing Centre) to the Hastings Knit-ters.

Its a real mixture of things.Northumberland County and

Trent Hills is rich in textile artistry, Morrison says.

The areas deep agricultural roots is one reason, she says, but another is the fact that a lot of ar-tisans cant afford to live in a city like Toronto.

They have found a place to live here. Theres a really vibrant community of like-minded souls [and] they are discovering each other. The textile community likes talking, likes meeting other people and likes sharing ideas.

It isnt going to be a huge mon-ey-maker but not only does it bring people into the community it lets people in the community see [what others are doing].

By Bill FreemanNews - Norwood - There will be no jake brake signs along Highway #7 in Nor-wood.

After passing a revised noise bylaw last month that added truck engine brakes to the legislation, the municipality intended to post signage along Highway #7 in the

MTO puts brakes on jake brakes signagevillage cautioning truck drivers about the use of the so-called jake brakes.

That idea was scotched by the Ministry of Transportation which does not allow signage along its highway corridors that prohibits the use of jake brakes.

That was news to the munic-ipality which was led to believe that all that was needed was a bylaw specifying the town-ships desire to ban jake brake use within the village.

Manager of public works and environmental services Jeff Waldon told council that the MTO was approached June 26 about the townships desire to install no jake brake signs in Norwood.

The first reactions from the

MTO were positive, Waldon said.

Waldon said an MTO offi-cial informed him that a bylaw would be required first before the signage could be installed.

The starting point would be a bylaw, he said.

That bylaw was passed July 9 but shortly afterward the town-ship received a letter from the MTO saying the signs were not be allowed owing to the liability of requesting truck traffic not to use a braking device removing drivers discretion.

While we appreciate the concerns regarding the noise created by the use of jake brakes by transport operators, the min-istry does not use such signs on our highway corridors, MTO

traffic analyst Chris Garlough of the ministrys eastern region office in Kingston said.

Due to the number of locations where these signs could be used, it is not practical to consider this type of signing, Garlough said in a let-ter to Waldon.

It is our understanding that jake brakes assist a truck in coming to a stop suddenly. By installing signs that prohibit their use we remove

the drivers discretion as to whether or not to use them, he added. In an emergency situation truck opera-tors should utilize all options when bringing their vehicle to a stop.

Waldon told council the MTO did mention its connecting link program which allows a municipal-ity to take over the cost of main-taining MTO rights-of-way or road allowances running through urban areas. Neighbouring Havelock-Bel-

mont-Methuen bought into the con-necting link program for the section of Highway #7 that runs through Havelock.

Is that the MTO saying that trucks have unsafe brakes?

Were back to square one, Waldon admitted.

He told council hell continue efforts to have jake brake use pro-hibited along the highway in Nor-wood.

Another emergency scam fraud reported

News - Trent Hills - Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received a call on August 12 from a female Percy Township resident reporting a fraud known as Emergency Scam.

The female reported that on Friday, Au-gust 9, between 10 and 10:30 a.m., she re-ceived a telephone call from a male claim-ing to be her son. The male sounded over the phone to be crying and hysterical claim-ing he had been involved in a collision and had a broken nose. He had told her he was arrested and needed bail money.

A second male came on the phone and identified himself as a supposed lawyer representing her son and they were in Laval, Quebec. The victim was told he re-quired $1,900 for bail and then called back a second time stating he required another $1,700 for property damage caused by her son.

The victim withdrew a cash advance on her VISA and sent the money via Western Union to an unknown address in Laval, Quebec. The victim was also told not to tell the Western Union teller it was required for bail as she would be given an extra $500 surcharge to send the funds. The total loss to the victim was $3,789.

Northumberland OPP are continuing this investigation with the assistance of Western Union Official Complaint Depart-ment and Laval Police Service.

If you receive a call of this nature, take your time, calm yourself and ask questions of the caller. If the questions cannot be an-swered accurately, it is most likely a fraud attempt. Once a person has sent money, there is often little or no recourse to get the money back. Fraudsters will not use real names or telephone numbers. Without ac-curate details about the situation it makes a follow-up investigation almost impossible.

By Sue DickensEntertainment - Campbellford - Working as a full-time musician since he was 18, Al Lerman plays blues with a whole lot of soul.

I never had grand illusions of be-coming a superstar, said Lerman, lounging by the Trent River with a cof-fee from the nearby Grindhouse Cafe in Campbellford, where he agreed to meet for an interview.

When I was 18 I got to sit in with Muddy Waters, Brownie McGhee and years later Fathead opened for BB King, he added.

As the bandleader of the two times Juno Award winning blues/roots out t Fathead, he made his mark on the music scene and has fans around the world.

Known for his trademark blue harp (harmonica) music he also plays the tenor saxophone, guitar (acoustic and electric) and does vocals.

He performs regularly as a solo play-ing acoustic guitar and rack harmonica and often works as a guest sideman with a number of top-notch bands, touring internationally.

But the most exciting news is that he lives locally and brings his music to Trent Hills and area.

He and his wife, a talented artist who currently has a solo show at the Camp-bellford Library, live on 45 acres on the Crowe River near Havelock.

That is home base for the couple, a place where they get their creative in-spiration.

My thoughts when I was a much younger musician and really struggling I thought I dont care so much about fame if I could make what a postman makes and play music for a living Id be happy and that is kind of what I seem to be doing, he said with a grin, taking a sip of his coffee.

His latest solo album called Live@the Acoustic Grill was taped at the place by the same name in nearby Picton.

When I heard the rough tapes from The Acoustic Grill I thought this really puts me in mind of when I rst got into

News - Campbellford - Vikky Brackett, 39, from Seymour Township in Trent Hills, has been served a Provincial Of-fence Notice for the charge of failing to yield to a pedestrian under the Highway Traf c Act.

The charges result from a serious in-jury collision reported to the Northum-berland OPP that occurred Thursday, August 15, involving a vehicle and pe-destrian.

Charges against the driver of the ve-hicle have been laid.

A 76-year-old female pedestrian from Stirling-Rawdon Township was crossing northbound from the southeast corner of Front Street at Bridge Street East in Campbellford when she was struck by a black 1996 Dodge Ram pickup truck making a left onto Bridge Street East.

The pedestrian was within the cross-ing lines and had waited for the cross indicator. The Dodge Ram was turning on the green light to proceed and failed to see the elderly female.

The victim was transported to a lo-cal hospital for initial life-threatening injuries, but was downgraded to non-life-threatening injuries after physician examination.

Award-winning blues musician music to Trent Hillsmusic when I was going to hear Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee at the Riverboat [coffeehouse] in Toronto, he said.

The coffeehouse was a sort of cultural hotspot in Yorkville in the 1960s where showstoppers like Simon & Garfunkel, Arlo Guthrie, Kris Kristofferson, John Lee Hooker, Doc Watson, Seals & Crofts, James Taylor and more performed.

Its kind of come full circle where I am doing that again, he said in his laid-back manner.

His harmonica and saxophone playing have garnered him sev-

eral Maple Blues Award nomina-tions.

When touring with his band Fathead, together now for 21 years, he regularly plays festi-vals, concert halls and roadhous-es across the country.

I was joking with someone the other day about this they were saying youve done nothing but play music for a living for over 40 years you must really be driven. I said you know I think its because I really dont like the idea of a day job, he added, grinning again.

He will be performing at the

new Bridge Eatery & Public House, 18 Bridge Street West, Campbellford, (formerly Rubbs BBQ, recently closed) on Friday, September 13, at 1 p.m.

He also plays at The Stinking Rose, down the street.
