December 25, 2014

By Bill FreemanNews - Hastings - Buccaneering fortune hunters filled the Hast-ings Public School stage in a colourful and swashbucklingly en-tertaining production of Robert Louis Stevenson’s great adventure story Treasure Island.

The cast and crew of 35-40 Grade 4 to 8 students delighted audi-ences during three shows staged Wednesday including a well-re-ceived presentation to visiting students from Norwood. The show was a triumph and another exhibition of the school’s strong passion for the arts which was on full show last year during their excellent production of the Wizard of Oz.

Treasure Island director and HPS teacher Caroline Teese was de-lighted with her young students’ work which began in October with initial casting and rehearsals.

“I’m so proud of them,” Teese said. “To me the joy in doing this is when they own it, when they take it and it’s really truly theirs.”

In the beginning it’s almost entirely the director’s show, the di-rector’s vision, she says, but the thrill of leading a cast through a play is watching them mature in roles and truly understand the na-ture of the work they are presenting.

“I have a vision of what it will be but as a creative thing no two plays are alike,” Teese said, noting that this was the fourth time she has been involved with Treasure Island and each one was com-pletely different.

“That’s part of what makes it special and as an art form.”“It’s so great for the kids,” Teese adds. “They have to be col-

laborative and creative and they have to problem-solve all the time. They’ve learned to improvise and pay attention to each other and tell the story together.”

She also says their confidence has soared and along the way friendships have been made and “mentorships” between the older and younger students have flourished.

“They really support each other. It’s an amazing thing to be in-volved in.”

2 Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, December 25, 2014

By Bill FreemanNews - Norwood - Community gen-erosity has matched an increase in the number of requests for Christmas toys packed in gift boxes by the Norwood Lions Club.

The number of local children receiv-ing gifts from the Lions annual Christ-mas toy drive is “up significantly,” says Lions member Vern Stockdale.

This year the club provided boxes for 31 families and toys for 83 chil-dren; last year 55 children received Christmas gifts through the Lions toy program.

“Donations came in very well and we have got lots of toys for each box. People have been very generous,” Stockdale said Thursday morning while volunteers got ready to distribute the boxes.

The Lions received tremendous sup-port from people who donated items at its various drop off locations like the Royal Bank, Bowes and Cocks Realty, the Norwood Post Office and Maple View Retirement Centre. New this year were the boxes the Lions had set up at library branches in Westwood and Nor-wood.

As well, club members who, rather than exchange gifts at the Lions Christ-mas party, asked members to bring a

gift for a child aged ten to 14.

“We don’t need the gifts for the exchange and to have each member donate one was a great idea,” said Stockdale. “So we had lots of toys for older children, last year we had to go out and buy for the older kids. This year there was enough.”

Stockdale was thrilled by the response they received

from Maple View noting that they received more do-nations Thursday morning thanks to donations made during the centre’s annual family Christmas party.

Being able to bring Christ-mas cheer to some local fam-ilies is the driving force be-hind the Lions toy program, Stockdale says.

“There will be a lot of happy kids.”

Chair of the 7 Hills Community Pantry checking her list

By Sue DickensNews - Warkworth - Santa Claus was not the only one making a list and checking it twice this Christmas.

Gail Covert, chair of the 7 Hills Community Pantry, was also checking her list to see what their clients need.

She points out that the list is a good guideline for anytime of the year, including the coming months of January and February when the holiday giving stops but the needs of their clients still exist.

“The list includes canned fruit, juice, pork and beans, peanut butter, canned soup, canned vegetables, mayonnaise, macaroni and cheese (i.e. Kraft Dinner) and pasta,” she said.

“Non-food items such as dish soap, hand soap and toothpaste are also very helpful,” she added.

By the time this newspaper is published the Christmas hampers will have been distributed, thanks to “generous donations” from the community and area businesses.

“We gave out the hampers December 19 and 22 and distributed them to about 27 clients,” she said. The number is about the same as last year. Clients live in Warkworth and the surrounding area.

“This past year we’ve had new clients come to us who tend to be older, in their fifties. They are people who have worked a long time and their company may have closed down and they are trying to pay their bills. They will still need help after the holidays,” Covert explained.

“Many people are living pay cheque to pay cheque these days and the majority are families,” she added.

“I think it’s consistent with what is happening everywhere now.”

At 7 Hills Community Pantry there are also

clients who have had to make use of the food bank at least once or twice this past year.

“Some clients just need help occasionally,” noted Covert. It is donations and grants throughout the year, not just at Christmas time, that keep the food bank shelves stocked.

“Martin Hare, our food bank treasurer was instrumental in communicating with Hamilton Township Mutual Insurance and through that we got half of a beef,” said Covert.

“Every one of our volunteers has some of this beef stored in their freezer for when it’s needed. It’s incredible. We were lucky to get it,” she added. The community pantry does not have a freezer to store that much beef so the volunteers pitched in.

“And we just got a donation from a local resident, he and his partner have done this in the past, and so turkeys for Christmas were covered for all our clients,” she said with enthusiasm.

There are many more examples of support from area residents and organizations.

“I want to thank everyone for their support from within the community and from the churches and organizations … all are big supporters. It’s almost getting to the point you’re hoping you don’t forget somebody when you say thank you,” Covert concluded.

And so the work of the volunteers will continue as another year begins.

Speaking of 2015, don’t forget the fourth annual Not a Black Tie Event, a fund raiser scheduled to take place January 15, the third Thursday of the month.

“We’re looking volunteers for the kitchen, we need five or six people,” Covert said.

As well any teams interested in participating are asked to contact Covert as soon as possible by phoning 705-924-9008.

Gail Covert, chair of the 7 Hills Community Pantry, left, and Freda Dong, secretary, along with many other food bank volunteers have worked very hard this past year to meet the needs of their clients whose numbers are growing a need that will continue into 2015. Their work is never done. Photo: Sue Dickens

Making Christmas a joyful occasion for families lacking resourcesBy John CampbellNews - Campbellford - More than a dozen of Santa’s clones—without the beard, paunch or outfit, and better known as firefighters, teachers, high

school students and a family of donors—spent one night last week making sure no boy or girl would go without this Christmas morning.

Teachers from Hillcrest, Kent and St. Mary elementary schools showed up at the fire hall December 15 to divide the toys, games, clothing and other stuff that the public had donated in support of the annual campaign organized by the Trent Hills Fire Department and Community

Living Campbellford/Brighton. The tables set up in the bays were laden with gifts that would make their way into the homes of about 90 children whose Christmas this year would be otherwise spartan.

“By far the best year we’ve ever had,” said Fire Chief Tim Blake. “I’m very proud of the support that we’re getting.”

Support from people such as the Lang family—Bev and

Bob, their daughter Shari and husband Greg Farrant—who “donated $100 plus a pile of toys,” Blake said—and John McEvoy and Murray Kirkland, organizers of a motorcycle ride in the summer that brought in numerous toys and cash donations.

Members of the Youth Advisory Council—students at Campbellford District High School—played a key role as well, collecting toys during the Santa Claus

parade and buying gifts for students their age.

For the first time, the fire department and Community Living handed out money to all five schools in Trent Hills, not just those in Campbellford, and the amount, $400 apiece, was higher than the $250 traditionally given.

“Look at how many Santas we got here,” Mayor Hector Macmillan observed with a smile. “Look at how much

joy is going to happen on Christmas Day, because of this. It’s just amazing.”

Farrant said he, his wife and her parents begin shopping for presents on Boxing Day, when there are bargains to be had, and they continue to buy gifts throughout the rest of the year.

“It’s a lot of fun,” he said, “giving back to the community. Not everybody is as fortunate as we are … You want everybody to have a nice Christmas.”

Helping to make that possible for families who are struggling “makes you feel really good,” he said.

“It’s unbelievable,” said Virginia Marini, principal of St. Mary Catholic Separate School. “I’m overwhelmed by the generosity of this town … I can’t thank people enough for what they do, and I wish they could see that look in the parents’ eyes when I get to deliver and distribute [the presents].

“It’s like you’re playing Santa, it’s a pretty amazing feeling.”

Marini said the school will use the money it received to provide Christmas dinner for families whose children received presents.

Hillcrest Public School teacher Patrick Muldoon, who has been involved in the Christmas campaign since its inception years ago, said the amount of donations collected this year “is probably four, five times” what it was at the start.

“It’s regrettable that it needs to get bigger [each year] but it’s a reality, there’s a lot of families that struggle, especially at Christmas time,” he said.

A member of the Campbellford-Seymour Community Foundation who serves as liaison to the Youth Advisory Council’s 14 members, Muldoon said the group’s participation in the parade for the first time “was really successful.”

Teachers from Hillcrest, Kent and St. Mary elementary schools, members of the Youth Advisory Council, and the Lang family—Bev and Bob, their daughter Shari and husband Greg Farrant—showed up at the fire hall in Campbellford December 15 for the pleasant task of collecting presents for young people facing a sombre Christmas. The annual campaign to receive donation of toys, games and clothing from the public was organized by the Trent Hills Fire Department and Community Living Campbellford/Brighton. Photo: John Campbell

OPINION

Gwynne Dyer

By Terry Bush Editorial - Saint Nicholas (also known as Santa Claus, Kris Kring-le or Father Christ-mas) has had to put up with a lot over the years. After the latest blow, he may not show up at all next week.

First they decided he had to reside at the North Pole, where the temperature often falls to 50 degrees below zero and

there are several months of complete darkness each year just when the work-load peaks. The south coast of what is now Turkey, where St. Nick originally lived and worked, was much nicer.

Then in a series of ads in the 1930s the Coca-Cola Company crystallised his image as a fat old man wearing clothes that are frankly a fashion disaster. And now, as a final indignity, they are trying to make him a Danish citizen.

On Monday, Denmark submitted documents claiming the North Pole as Danish territory (since the Danish kingdom includes Greenland). It was a “historic and important milestone” for Denmark, said Foreign Minister Martin Lidegaard. It was also provocative and pointless, but he forgot to mention that.

The Danish government does not actually want or need the North Pole, and does not imagine that it would derive any practical benefit from “owning” it. It is just responding to the equally baseless Canadian declaration last December that the North Pole is sovereign Canadian territory, or at least that the seabed 4,000 metres beneath it is.

The way that claim came about is quite instructive. Canada has a huge archipelago of Arctic islands, and for years Canadian government scientists have been gathering evidence to support a Canadian claim to exclusive economic rights over the seabed of the Arctic Ocean adjacent to those islands. All five countries that border the Arctic Ocean have been preparing similar claims to the seabed off their own coasts.

Until last December, Canada made no claim to the North Pole. It was only days before the country was due to submit its final claim to the UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government finally woke up.

The claim wasn’t in the original submission

because Canada has no real case in international law. Even if the Commission ends up accepting the contention by Russia, Canada and Denmark (on behalf of its Greenland territory) that the underwater Lomonosov Ridge extends their respective bits of the continental shelf into the central Arctic Ocean, the principle of “equidistance” would give the North Pole itself to the Danes or the Russians.

For the past nine years Prime Minister Harper has travelled to the Canadian Arctic every summer to give the Canadian media a “photo op.” He promises new ice-breakers and an Arctic naval base, he stands on a submarine as fighters fly overhead, he sits in the cockpit of a Canadian F-18, he shoots a rifle in a military exercise—every year a new image of him personally defending Canadian sovereignty from some unspecified threat.

There is no threat to Canadian territory, of course, and even in terms of seabed rights Canada’s only serious dispute is with the United States (over a bit of seabed north of the Yukon-Alaska border in the Beaufort Sea). But Harper’s pose as the staunch defender of Canadian “rights” serves his conservative, nationalist agenda and plays well with the Canadian media.

So when Harper’s minions belatedly realised that the government’s scientists and civil servants had not included the North Pole in Canada’s claim to the commission, Harper slammed the brakes on and demanded that they rewrite it. He will have been told by the experts that Canada has no legal case—but he also knows that by the time that becomes clear to the public, many years from now, he will no longer be in office.

Canada didn’t submit its final claim last December after all. The poor boffins in Ottawa are struggling to reformulate it to include the North Pole, while Harper trumpets his determination to protect Canadian “rights.” And the Danes, who were previously willing to let sleeping dogs lie, have now responded by making their own rather more plausible claim.

The Russians may be next. President Vladimir Putin also likes to be photographed in the Arctic, surrounded by military kit and bravely defending Russian sovereignty. It’s getting ridiculous—but might it also be getting out of hand?

Probably not. There has been much loose talk about allegedly huge reserves of oil and gas under the Arctic seabed, but not much actual drilling is likely to happen in the challenging conditions of the Arctic Ocean when the oil price is below $80 per barrel. (It’s currently in the mid-$50s, and will probably be down there for a long time.)

There’s really nothing else up there that’s worth fighting over.

Editorial - It really bothers many people that some of our institutions have become so po-litically correct that the words “Merry Christ-mas,” are forbidden as if they were some form of profanity. The powers-that-be have also decided that Christmas decorations, trees and all the rest should be banned from their premises; you know, the buildings that we have paid for with our taxes. Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings are okay but heaven forbid you offend anyone by saying what you really mean.

The fact of the matter is that the majority of people in our readership area celebrate Christmas as a religious or secular holiday. So why have some schools and government buildings banned what most people consider one of the major events of the year? Someone may not like it.

Funny, but in a democracy like the one we have in Canada, usually the majority rules. But seriously, does anyone other than the bureaucrats even care. This isn’t the big city after all.

We want to be more inclusive. We don’t want to push our holidays on others who may not share our religious beliefs. We don’t want to offend.

In our push to be politically correct, we’re missing a great opportunity to educate our children and ourselves about the many different people who now make up the population of Canada.

Wouldn’t it be more inclusive, especially in our schools, to make it a point to educate students about the history of Christmas as well as the festivals and holy days of other religions now that our country has become much more culturally and religiously diverse.

This month alone, according to the web site <religioustolerance.org> we have Bodhi Day, also known as Rohatsu celebrated by Buddhists. As the web site says, “It recalls

the day in 596 BCE, when the Buddha sat beneath a Bodhi tree, a type of fig tree, and is believed to have achieved enlightenment, thus escaping the repeating cycle of reincarnation: involving birth, life, death and rebirth. A descendent of the original tree is the most important of four holy sites of Buddhism.”

Native people and some atheists both in North America and around the world celebrate the Winter Solstice. Wiccans and some Neopagans celebrate Yule at the Winter Solstice as well.

Jews are now celebrating the eight days of Hanukkah (Chanukah), also known as the Festival of Lights, which commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt and the miracle of the one-day supply of oil found in the temple lasting eight days.

Kwanzaa, celebrated by millions around the world starts on December 26 and celebrates, “the best of African thought and practice in constant exchange with the world.” This African-American holiday was created by Maulana Karenga in 1965.

Muslim holidays are fixed to the lunar calendar and begin in January though they will return to December in a few decades.

A quick survey of our office finds people have no problem wishing others a Merry Christmas and if someone wished them a Happy Hanukkah or Happy Kwanzaa, they would respond in kind in the spirit of the season.

For many, the total commercialization of the Christmas season is much more offensive than a simple Merry Christmas and a few decorations.

So to everyone celebrating a holiday this week, “Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a joyous Kwanzaa to you and yours.” Chances are you’re not offended in the least.

Happy HolidaysThe Danish santa

By John CampbellNews - Trent Hills - Dog and cat owners would do them-selves and their pets a big favour if they were to have

microchips implanted in their animals, says the operator of a local online service that helps reunite missing pets and their owners.

By Sue DickensNews - Campbellford - Lower enrollment in some of the area’s secondary schools is posing a chal-lenge to programming and this in-cludes Campbellford District High School (CDHS) and Norwood Dis-trict High School (NDHS).

It not only affects curricular programming but can affect extra-curricular activities too.

This is the perspective of the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board which will be host-ing meetings as focus groups to discuss these concerns in the new year.

Schools that would be consid-ered low enrollment secondary schools within the board include those with a population of less than 500 students. Other school com-munities being included are Clarke High School in Orono, Lakefield District Secondary School and Port Hope High School.

Along with board staff, local trustees and municipal representa-tives, secondary students, parents, teachers, and principals will come

together to discuss ongoing chal-lenges faced by the board’s smaller secondary schools as a result of de-clining enrollment.

While the meetings will be working meetings, they will be open for community members to attend and listen to the conversa-tions.

There will also be an opportu-nity for the general public to ask specific questions at the end of each meeting.

“These schools face a number of challenges as a result of their low number of students and school staff. The greatest difficulty is the ability of these schools to offer a wide range of academic programs and course selections for our stu-dents,” said Cathy Abraham, chair-person of the board.

Minutes from each community focus group, as well as the op-portunity to provide additional thoughts, comments and/or ask further questions, will be avail-able through the Board’s web site <www.kprschools.ca>.

“These focus group consulta-t i o n s will be explor-

ing the variety of methods that these small schools are already actively using to support programming for students, and consider how these schools can be further supported in the future. They will also provide an opportunity to share local future enrollment trends, as well as gather feedback and information from our stakeholders,” Abraham added.

According to the board these schools face a number of chal-lenges. The greatest difficulty is the ability of these schools to of-fer a wide range of academic pro-grams and course selections for its students.

Another serious challenge is that, as school enrollment decreases, the opportunity to offer students all the co-curricular and extra-curricular programs that are part of a robust secondary school experience also becomes very difficult.

These focus group consulta-tions will be exploring the variety of methods these small schools are already actively using to support programming for students, and consider how these schools can be further supported in the future.

Programming for secondary students is offered in a number

of ways, including regular face-to-face classroom, e-learning and video conferencing.

“We continue to look at as many innovative ways as possible to maximize learning opportunities for our students,” said Abraham.

These consultations will pro-vide an opportunity to share local future enrollment trends, as well as gather feedback and information from stakeholders.

The information gathered will be used to help create the best pro-gramming opportunities possible and the feedback received will also help continue long-term accommo-dation planning.

The first focus group will be held in Lakefield on January 12, 2015.

The one at Norwood District High School will be held January 21, 2015.

Port Hope’s will take place on January 27 with Clarke High School’s happening on February 9.

In Campbellford the meeting will be held at CDHS on February 25, the last of the focus groups.

All meetings will begin at 6:30 p.m.

Lost-and-found service boon for pet owners and missing pets

Focus group will tackle challenge of low enrollment at secondary schools

“Microchipping is just the most fantastic thing,” and costs just $25, says Deb Mumby, the owner of Whiskers and Wags, a pet sitting and dog walking business she runs out of her home east of Norham. “Really, it’s the very best thing you can do.”

The microchip is coded with contact information, which facili-tates pets being returned to their owners after going missing and then being found by strangers.

“It will get them home as fast as possible,” she says.

Mumby, a graduate of the veter-inary assistant program at St. Law-rence College, saw the good that microchips can do while employed as a kennel assistant at the Quinte Humane Society for two years.

It was also there she met Jennifer Sporting-Nichols, who established the Quinte Lost Dog Network.

After striking out on her own, with Whiskers and Wags, Mumby decided to extend the reach of her friend’s network by adding a lost and found pet service to her web site, <www.whiskersandwags.ca>, and Facebook page.

The service is directed primarily to pet owners living within Trent Hills, Brighton, Colborne, Castle-ton and parts of Trenton.

The two services share reports they’ve received about pets that have left home or been located.

The “more news feeds our posts show up in, the faster pets get back to their homes,” Mumby says.

The combined service has about a 75 per cent success rate in help-ing people find their lost pets, she says.

The microchip, which is usually placed between the dog’s shoulder blades, is good for the lifetime of

the animal but the owner must re-member to update the information it carries if there has been a change in address or phone number.

One of the reasons Mumby got involved in lost-and-found efforts was that it gave her the means of “easing the burden on the humane society” because she’s witnessed first-hand “what hard jobs they have to do” and how busy the place can get.

Mumby does more than post re-ports, she’ll spend 90 minutes driv-ing around looking for pets that have wandered off in her area.

“It really bothers me,” their be-ing lost, she says. “It almost makes me feel sick, knowing they’re out there. There are no lengths I won’t go to try to get them home.”

Mumby is “a big advocate” of using a leash at all times outdoors because, without it, “you’ve got no

control” what the animal will do at a moment’s notice.

Investing in a microchip is the best money an owner will ever spend, along with having the ani-mal spayed or neutered, she says.

Her advice to anyone who spots a stray animal is to read its “body language” to see if it’s safe to ap-proach and then do what you can to bring about its return home.

“Don’t ever be afraid to stop and help,” she says. “Getting them home and making sure that they’re safe … helps me to sleep at night.”

One missing animal she hopes will be reunited with its owner soon with the help of the public is Abbey, a collie, that was reported lost November 14. She was last seen just off County Road 2 south of Smithfield on the boundary be-tween Quinte West and Brighton.

By Bill FreemanNews - Norwood - They weren’t sure what to expect but Norwood District High School’s “Freedom Wall” left its mark

during the recent White Ribbon Campaign which shone a spot-light on gender-based violence.

“It’s good to have feedback from the school about how they

are feeling,” said Carlo Qui-ñones of Knights 4 Inclusion which organized the week-long campaign that culminated in a day where students and staff

By Bill FreemanNews - Norwood - Supporters of ru-ral community schools are being en-couraged to sign a petition protesting proposed changes to the provincial Ministry of Education’s contentious Accommodation Review Committee (ARC) process.

The process is used to guide school closing decisions and with accommodation reviews for Nor-wood District High School and Campbellford District High School expected in the near future, mem-bers of the Community Friends of Norwood District High School are urging area residents to pay close at-tention to the proposed changes and make their voices heard.

The Ontario government is grap-pling with the issue of “underuti-lized space” in schools across the province and has said that nearly 70 per cent of schools receive support for “underutilized space that is not being used for core educational pur-poses.”

The proposed ARC changes “will greatly reduce the public’s ability to engage and have input in the pro-cess,” says Citizens for Accountable and Responsible Education (CARE) Niagara Inc., the group leading the petition campaign.

The current ARC process is gen-erally lengthy but the proposed changes suggest that the provincial government wants to shorten the length of time for consultation and decision-making.

were encouraged to wear white.The school also raised funds

and donated material from their Samaritan’s Purse initiative to the Crossroads Women’s Shel-ter in Peterborough during a week that also marked the 25th anniversary of the murder of 14 women at L’École Polytech-nique de Montréal.

The Freedom Wall was set up in the school’s most central spot and students were welcome to add their thoughts to a board that included articles, quota-tions and posters focussing on gender-based violence. One poster made by Carlo revealed that more women 15 to 44 years of age die of gender-based vio-lence than from cancer, war, malaria or traffic accidents.

“They took it seriously,” said Carlo. “We expected to get more negative stuff which is why we were prepared for that.”

That didn’t happen, he said, although there were a few that

were contrary to the intent of the project and in the end that was also a good thing because “that would challenge people to speak up, to say that it’s happen-ing right here in the school.”

“We did our job. It’s up to the people [to follow through] with the information we gave them. To give action to that.”

The posters, he added, were “pretty powerful.”

Among the notes on the wall were “we can’t ignore the dark-ness of others because the inno-cent will only suffer” and “you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.”

Students also signed a pledge to “never to commit, never to excuse and never to remain silent about violence against women.”

“It’s nice to see everyone getting involved,” added Ni-cole Maher, another member of Knights 4 Inclusion. “This is a

real issue, and as young as we are, we’re still recognizing it.”

Nicole says the school has embraced their work and is “thinking about it.”

The most important mes-sage they want to leave with their peers as fellow students is “don’t ever forget.

“Always show your support for things you believe in; no matter how old you are you can still show your support,” she said.

Knights 4 Inclusion want people to think about the issue of gender-based violence all the time and not just during a spe-cial week.

“This matter just won’t go away unfortunately. The least we can do is recognize that it is happening and show our support and educate people on what it is. I feel people should be educated on matters like this. This is real life and this is always there [and] we can’t let it go unnoticed.”

Proposed changes to ARC process worry school supporters

Among the proposed changes is shortening the process to a minimum of five months with only two mandatory open pub-lic meetings; reducing the public consultation period to 60 days and reducing the minimum requirement to 30 days between the final recommendation and the school board vote; there would have to be at least 15 days between public delegations and the board vote.

Currently, a school board develops a school profile which includes the institution’s value to the students, school commu-nity and local economy but the proposed changes would sideline that key

element. Under the new ARC model the profile would only include school and school board data but no information about the value to the community or the economy.

One positive change is the requirement of schools boards to formally invite senior municipal adminis-tration and/or councillors to participate in accommo-dation reviews.

The public comment period to the Ministry of Education closed Decem-ber 18 but the Change.org petition is still an open document and groups like CARE, People for Public Education and Community Friends of Norwood Dis-trict High School want the

provincial government to extend the time period for public input.

They also encourage residents to contact local MPPs to voice their concerns and speak up about the value of rural community schools.

By John CampbellNews - Trent Hills - What is the role of Camp-bellford’s Business Improvement Area (BIA), and its relationship to council?

Elected officials and members of the BIA will

have that and other questions answered in the new year when a representative from the Min-istry of Municipal Affairs and Housing will at-tend an information meeting at the invitation of council.

BIA members will be asked to submit questions in advance of the meeting, which will be held in late January or early February.

The need for a gathering of this kind became apparent dur-ing the recent municipal election campaign when council, staff and candidates fielded and posed ques-tions about the BIA’s role, and the nature of council’s oversight.

With the BIA annual meet-ing scheduled for March, “staff feel it would be beneficial to host an information meeting” for its members, Trent Hills CAO Mike Rutter said in a report.

“We feel it is important to have this meeting prior to the AGM where the board of management elections take place and the mem-bership are discussing their future activities and budget,” he wrote. As staff and council work with the BIA to advance its interests and enhance Campbellford’s down-

town, “having a good understanding of their role, our responsibilities, and the applicable leg-islation will ensure we provide effective support to this important organization.”

Rutter said having the information come from “an expert source would provide clarity for the membership” as they make plans for the coming year and beyond.

“This is something I have been proposing for quite some time, that we bring membership to-gether,” Mayor Hector Macmillan told council last week, and the municipality needs to make sure that it contacts the absentee landlords that own some of these buildings … because we want to get full participation out on this.”

BIA president Tom Kerr said he’s “looking forward to the meeting. I think this is a posi-tive step” because it will bring people “of like minds” together “and get us all going in the right direction. This has been long needed.”

Kerr said the BIA and council “do not need to be at odds so let’s get going in the same direc-tion.”

As for members who have brought something to his attention and said “this is a concern, we’ve acted upon it” as has council when its members were made aware of concerns. “This is just go-ing up one step further to clarify things,” he said. It’s “a necessary step. No matter how much you know there’s always something to learn,” on ei-ther side.

By John CampbellNews - Warkworth - Long before thoughts of Christmas entered their minds, the 228 students at Percy Centennial Public School started off the school year in September thinking about “gifts of em-powerment.”

It’s an initiative of Free the Children, an international charity that strives “to em-power and enable youth to be agents of change.”

One way is to raise money in support of the good work the organization does, which Percy has been doing for eight years, the most signal achievement being the con-struction of a school.

This year’s initiative dif-fered from others it help fund, Grade 8 teacher Julie Ander-son said: It was to raise money to buy dairy goats for families in Africa to enable them to earn a steady income.

“One goat gets them some

cheese and milk they can use for themselves and sell,” An-derson said. “Once they get two goats they can start their own small farm and it gives them their own business.”

The fund raising began in September and included dances and Spirit Days.

Each classroom was asked to raise $50 to buy a dairy goat, which for a family in Africa can “open a world of possibilities,” says Free the Children.

In the end a total of $650 was collected—enough to purchase 13 goats.

“An amazing sense of community here, more than

I’ve ever seen before,” said the school’s new principal Dave Crawford, who agreed to purchase a goat himself if the entire school bought a dozen with the money it raised.

One Grade 8 student, Keira Taylor, bought one by taking donations in lieu of birthday gifts; three sisters—Sarah Kiar, Skyler Iafrate and Peyton Iafrate—brought in $100 by holding a fund raiser at their mother’s store, Serendipitous Old Stuff.

“It worked out really, re-ally well,” Crawford said. The students did “a fantastic job.”

By Bill FreemanNews - Havelock - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen is taking steps to digitize and preserve some of the most “precious” documentary artefacts the mu-nicipality owns.

Council has approved a plan to digitize 13 bylaw books and 20 sets of minute books from

both the Village of Havelock and the Townships of Belmont and Methuen dating back to 1855.

“Some of these documents are very precious,” Mayor Ron Gerow noted following a pre-sentation by corporate services analyst Amber Dickinson that would have Image Advantage

“Precious” documents will be digitized, preservedSolutions Inc. of Escott, Ontario, scan the documents into a PDF format, in-dex them and store them on DVDs.

The bylaw and minute books are currently located in the municipal of-fice vault.

Dickinson called them “vital re-cords which hold significant value to the administration, financial, legal, operational and historical activities of the township.”

Even though they are stored in a secure location they have only one copy of the bylaw and minute books prior to 1998, she said.

“In case of disaster we have no backup copies.”

Similar documents since amal-gamation in 1998 are backed up on

computers, Dickinson added.With the documents scanned and

stored on DVDs it would reduce the need to handle hard copies of the books as well as reduce staff time spent searching for particular items, she said. The documents are accessed on a regular basis.

The scanning project would cost $3,843.

The very first set of minutes are in the vault as well as the very first set of 1854 bylaws from what was then called Asphodel, Belmont & Methuen which are included in an 150-page by-law Belmont & Methuen bylaw book which covers 1855 to 1873 which is considered in poor condition.

Another book, 210 pages long and

covering 1896 to 1915 is also consid-ered in poor condition.

The first two bylaw books from the Village of Havelock (1900-1949 and 1949-1969) have paper that is in poor condition.

The Belmont & Methuen minutes were handwritten through 1932 and are considered in deteriorating condi-tion. The Village of Havelock minutes were hand written through 1971.

“I know we can’t put them in a glass house and send them away,” Mayor Gerow said.

He’s thrilled that the documents will be preserved in this way not-ing that in the first set of minutes are “very detailed” descriptions of the authorization to gather stone and pre-

pare the building of the Stone Hall on Highway 7.

“Not too many townships can go back to those first set of minutes,” he said.

“This has been talked about for a long time,” Gerow said thanking Dickinson and Clerk Glenn Girven for pursuing the initiative.

“I think this is a great thing be-cause these things are valuable,” add-ed Deputy-mayor Jim Martin.

By John CampbellNews - Trent Hills - The need never lessens but neither does the generosity that eases the want, if only for a day.

It’s the Salvation Army’s Christmas Cheer program and this year it’s help-ing 260 families in Trent Hills, Have-lock and Norwood—“about the same as usual,” says family services worker Janey Leach.

“And I’ll probably get another 40 emergencies.”

The program is a joint effort of the Salvation Army and St. John’s United Church whose congregation members volunteer help in preparing the hampers for distribution from its auditorium.

“Fantastic support from the commu-nity as usual, with toys and gifts and food,” that the public drops off at the Free Methodist Church where her of-

fice is located.“We supply families with the means

to have a more cheerful Christmas,” Leach said. “It doesn’t solve every-body’s problems but at least there’s going to be a good Christmas dinner, [and] wonderful toys for the children.”

Recipients are given gift food cer-tificates to buy what they want and toys are supplied from the Giving Tree in Cobourg, along with extras from “very generous people who donate toys in the community.”

Although the Salvation Army’s area office is located in Trenton, “every donation in Trent Hills stays in Trent Hills,” Leach said.

That’s important, said financial ad-visor Daniel Dugas, who’s involved in the Prosper in Northumberland cam-paign, which is “doing something very

Salvation Army helps when people most in needvaluable” in encouraging people to buy local.

Having just opened up a financial services firm on Main Street in Wark-worth, “the first thing I wanted to do was give local.”

Earning a livelihood from clients who live in the area, “it’s only valid that we give back to those who are in need within our community.”

He donated $200 and handed over another cheque for $50 from Val and Brian Pridmore.

Accountant Arlene Whidden, who works with Dugas through her tax preparation business, said she’s “a firm supporter and believer” of the Salva-tion Army and has helped out at Christ-mas for years.

“As a young child I was a recipi-ent.”

She was living in Toronto in a base-ment apartment with her mother and two sisters when there was a knock on the door one Christmas Eve.

It was the Salvation Army. “In came the tree, all the decorations, a turkey (we were going to have beans) … and presents.”

Leach said she hears that a lot from donors whose lives early on were brightened at Christmas by gifts that arrived at the household courtesy of the Salvation Army. She recently received a package of hand-knitted mittens from a woman now living in Toronto who

had received presents when she was a child in Campbellford.

“The main reason I give to the Sal-vation Army [is because] it tries to help people, through counselling or what-ever other services they need,” Whid-den said. “It’s not just a handout, it’s usually a hand up.”

“We do a lot quietly,” Leach saidThe Salvation Army also operates a

food bank year-round on Mondays and Thursdays and it hosts regular lunches.

The one in Hastings held twice a

month usually attracts 50 to 60 people and about 20 people attend the lunch held every Friday at the Free Methodist Church in Campbellford.

A full dinner is provided once a month at St. John’s.

All are supported by local dona-tions.

“We’re looking to continue working with Janey throughout the year,” Dugas said. “Whatever we can do in the future we’re really looking forward to that partnership.”

By Sue DickensNews - Campbellford - The call is out once again for nominations for the sixth annual Civic Awards and Volunteer Appreciation cer-emony.

“The event is held in order to recognize the exceptional contributions and achieve-ments of individuals and organizations in our com-munity,” stated Community Development Officer Lynn Phillips, on the municipal-ity’s web site.

A press release is making the rounds in cyberspace on emails as well to get the word out about this opportunity.

“The participation of community groups in the nomination process is in-tegral to the success of the Civic Awards,” said Phil-lips.

A few years ago, at the third annual awards event a new category was added, the Accessibility Award, and it remains an important one among the nine open to nominations.

As well the Civic Awards and the Volunteer Apprecia-tion Awards were combined; this has been such a huge suc-cess the decision was made to continue the tradition.

The categories this year are:

• Agricultural Leader-ship - for the efforts and leadership of an individual or group in agricultural im-provements, promotion of rural lifestyles, or assistance

in agricultural events and activities.

• Cultural Award of Merit - for an individual or group that has enhanced awareness within the community of culture, visual, performing or literary arts.

• Outstanding Youth Award - for an exceptional contribution(s) made to the community and/or their school, and to an individual who is 19 years of age or younger as of December 31 of the year of nomination.

• Sporting Excellence Award - for an individual or team accomplishment of a regional, provincial and/or national championship.

• Recreation & Sport Award - for the volunteer efforts of an individual or group in the promotion, or-ganization, sponsorship or motivation of sports, recre-ation, and leisure pursuits for healthy and active liv-ing.

• Community Betterment Award - for a volunteer or group of volunteers whose actions, commitment, volun-teer leadership, service and community spirit has made a difference in the lives of those in the community.

• Heritage Awareness Award - for an individual or group that has promoted awareness of Trent Hills’ heritage.

• Architectural Conserva-tion Award - for a property owner of the subject prop-erty and/or the contractor

Nominations accepted for sixth annual Civic Awards and Volunteer Appreciation

of the individual responsible for preserving and/or restoring a her-itage property in Trent Hills.

• Accessibility Award - for the efforts of an individual or group in promoting accessibility and the cre-ation of inclusive environments.

Approximately 50 nomina-tions are received on average

each year and every year the mu-nicipality hopes more and more will participate.

The Mayor’s Civic Pride Award is a highlight of the eve-ning event each year.

One of the nominees who was selected in the past for this award was Gary Torrance who was hon-

oured for his role as manager of the Squirt softball team that won the provincial title in 2010 … and more. He has been involved in minor hockey and softball, as a player, coach, trainer and man-ager for more than 50 years.

The deadline for nominations is 2 p.m. on January 26, 2015.

The awards event will be held at the Hastings Civic Centre on March 27, 2015.

For more information on the awards or on submitting nomina-tions, please contact Community Development Officer Lynn Phil-lips at <[email protected]> or 705-653-1900 ext. 239.

By Bill FreemanNews - Havelock - The Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen was so impressed with the work two Fleming College students did mapping and studying the Mathison conservation property north of the village that they’ve decided to sign on again with the college to develop a sign strategy for the 250-acre par-cel of land.

The municipality will again work with Ecosystem Management stu-dents out of the Lindsay campus who are part of the college’s credit for product program, the same pro-gram responsible for a well-received presentation last month by students Liam Pritchard and Jon Shaddock that included information and rec-ommendations on trail mapping, trail expansion, signage, maintenance, nature lookouts, environmental part-nerships and an interpretive guide.

The new project would run from January to April and is a follow-up

to the initial venture focussing this time on developing a signage strat-egy with municipal staff encompass-ing things like a gateway, boundary delineations, safety and interpreta-tive signage. The project will also make recommendations on the types of signs that could be used and how they would be installed.

The “quality of the workman-ship” on the first project was excel-lent, said Deputy Clerk-Economic Development Officer Brian Grattan who visited the Lindsay campus to watch the final presentations of all 12 credit for product projects and came away impressed with the stu-dents’ work.

“I think it was a great project and great use of the parkland re-serve fund. They did a great job on the first phase,” said Deputy-mayor Jim Martin who chairs the Mathison Property Ad Hoc Committee.

“It is a really super project, par-ticularly with the signage,” added

Councillor David Gerow.The last project was budgeted for

$1,500, said Grattan, and it didn’t reach $1,000. The next project has a maximum budget of $3,000 drawn again from parkland reserves. If stu-dents travel in two vehicles for field visits they can only charge mileage for one vehicle so they’ll likely car pool.

Among the “deliverables” will be a detailed report and map showing the proposed locations for different signs on the property, an estimate of costs and materials that would be needed to install the “gateway” and interpretative signage as well as digi-tal files on the work done by the stu-dents, things like GIS, maps, photos and reports.

The Fleming students will again work with the Peterborough County GIS department.

The previous report included ac-curate GIS mapping and a recom-mended development of 2.7 kilo-

metres of trails: 1.6 kilometres for multi-use and one kilometre strictly for walking. They also recommend-ed the development of an additional 875 metres of new trail expansion.

The students walked every single trail they could find and identified those that were most suitable for a network; they also noted that some trails meandered onto private prop-erty. Boundary signage is definitely important, says Grattan.

“If we are going to promote the property properly we want to have that comfort level that people can go onto the property and return safely,” he said.

Mayor Ron Gerow shared coun-cil’s enthusiasm for the project.

“This is another piece in the first phase in development of the prop-erty. We need to get the boundaries marked so everybody knows what belongs to the municipality and what doesn’t. It’s a good starting point.”

Signage strategy planned for Mathison conservation land

By Sue DickensNews - Campbellford - The simple act of knitting a number of consecu-tive rows of loops, called stitches, is putting smiles on the faces of people everywhere at this time of year and no more so than at Island Park Retirement Community.

“I presented the idea of a mitten tree for Christmas back in 2009,” said Kris-ta Hazlewood, lifestyle consultant at the seniors residence in Campbellford, whose idea has continued to capture the imagination of the residents at the home.

This year, for example, the family of resident Theresa Tessier, who passed away earlier this year, was able to place mittens she knit on the tree too as her legacy.

“Theresa was one of our ladies who

By John CampbellNews - Northumberland - After years of sticking to 2.5 per cent increases in its an-nual levy, Northumberland County should consider introducing a dedicated capital levy to help pay for major work on its in-frastructure.

Director of finance Jennifer Moore put forward that recommendation in an over-view of the 2015 draft budget she presented to county council December 10.

The county adopted annual levy in-creases of 2.5 per cent in 2010 as part of a ten-year plan to stabilize its draw on local tax dollars at a rate slightly higher than in-flation. It also allowed the county to “make some headway” in closing the gap that had developed over the previous decade between what was being levied and the amount that should have been set in taxes to cover costs downloaded by the province.

The county will need to “ramp up” its capital budget in future to begin addressing its manifold infrastructure needs, Moore said. An asset management plan approved by council earlier this year estimated Nor-thumberland should be spending $27.4 million a year on infrastructure repairs and replacements. The $100.4 million budget proposed for 2015 allocates $16.5 million for capital expenditures.

“We’re putting more money into capi-tal each and every year but … we’re still falling behind,” Moore said, and “not able to chip away” at what needs to be done ac-cording to the asset management plan.

Moore said Northumberland is not alone in having an infrastructure deficit. While it will need to spend $1 billion to close the gap over the next 50 to 60 years, eastern Ontario should spend slightly more than that each year alone to maintain and up-grade its infrastructure, she pointed out.

The county’s financial indicators show “really a good story,” said Moore, who noted there has been a “phenomenal turn-around” in its reserves, which are projected to continue to grow over the next ten years, with future contributions “aligned to pri-orities” identified in the asset management plan.

The county’s debt has grown stable but

Dedicated capital levy recommended for the countyMoore expressed concerns that the province has recently indicated it is “expecting municipalities to take out more debt in order to meet their infrastructure needs.

“We don’t want to make poor decisions” that will cause future generations to spend money on “re-paying debt rather than being able to address the needs of the day,” Moore said. “So it’s going to be a difficult challenge.”

Staff began working on the

budget in July. Council will begin formal discussion of the budget at its January meeting when members will be able to ask for additional in-formation or request changes.

Moore said staff “really are pushing the schedule a little” for early adoption of the budget be-cause going out for tenders early in the season produces “much, much better pricing” for projects in a competitive market.

Moore forecast prices for fuel,

utilities, asphalt and cement will stabilize next year, as will provin-cial subsidies, but she predicted there will be a drop in waste and provincial offences revenues.

The county will also take on ad-ditional costs for land use planning, the Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre, septic system inspections, remediation of the Eagleson land-fill site near Cobourg, and the first wave of initiatives from the waste management master plan.

was a primary knitter and she passed away this spring,” Hazle-wood explained.

“When the family came and packed away her things there was a box with a special tag on it labelled for the mitten tree so the family came and put the mit-tens on the tree. It was a nice bit of closure. Theresa did a lot of the small baby mittens,” she added.

Tessier, who was from Have-lock, was 97.

For her, as it is for others now living at Island Park, it has al-ways been about giving back and being a part of the community.

Fran Douglas, who is 93, is one of those residents who en-joys knitting for others.

“Our church used to knit and I did about 100 mittens a year. We would send them to India, but the shipping got to be too expensive so now I knit for the new babies at the hospital in Pe-terborough. I thought it would be a nice gesture,” Fran told the Trent Hills Independent.

“And in between I knit for this mitten tree. I knit mittens and toques,” she said.

Fran said she likes to sit in her suite which she pointed out is on the top floor of Island Park, some-thing she really enjoys, and knits.

“I sit and knit and watch tele-vision and look outside at the beautiful view,” she commented with a smile.

All the mittens on the tree

have now been gathered up and given to the Salvation Army in Campbellford.

“That is what the residents wanted,” Hazlewood said, ex-plaining residents wanted to make sure the mittens stayed in their community.

“Our residents here, they love doing things for the community. They love being a part of the community. And if it’s in the community it’s successful and it’s from the heart,” she com-mented.

At last count there were 114 mittens on the tree.

Residents were also able to donate toys for the local toy drive making it a merry Christ-mas for many.

The modest but accomplished Havelock teen, a graduate of St. Paul Catholic Elementary School in Norwood and now a student at Thomas A. Stewart Secondary School, was gracious and a little

blushed as she accepted the award from the dean of local clergy the Reverend David Wainwright.

“I’ve never won anything like that before. It felt good to get no-ticed,” Avery, a member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Roman Catholic Church, said afterwards still somewhat awed by the hon-our.

The ministerial award recogniz-es youth for the impact they have on their church and community. Avery’s nominator called her a “fine example of what a Havelock

youth is” and noted how her “un-derstanding, kind and sensitive” nature has made a strong peer tutor and leader in everything she does.

“I do it because I love to do it and I want to do it [and not for the accolades],” Avery said. “I re-ally like Havelock. In a small town everyone is basically family and I just like to do little things around the community, even in Norwood and Peterborough. I like getting in-volved and doing things to help.”

Avery became an altar server at her church when she was in

Grade 2 and whenever Bishop De’Angelis visited he’d request that Avery be his altar server. The Bishop was so impressed with Avery that twice she was invited to his house for lunch.

The St. Paul graduate head-ed to TASS for its arts program where she excels on drums, guitar and saxophone and is a member of the silver medal COSSA rugby team; she is also a member of the Peterborough Pagans rugby club and played soccer in Havelock, hockey in Norwood and was a long-time member of the Havelock Fig-ure Skating Club. She was also actively involved in the Have-lock Scouting movement.

Avery’s dream after high school is to become a lawyer and she’ll take her first steps

toward that goal at Laurier University.

“I’ve always wanted to be a lawyer,” she says. “It’s another way of helping people. What-ever I do I want to be involved with people, learn from them and go from there.”

Avery hopes other young people consider her a good role model and says she’ll always hold “Havelock in my heart.”

The award recognizes youth who have a “positive effect in their church and in the commu-nity and certainly Avery exem-plifies that,” said the Reverend David Estabrooks of Havelock Baptist Church.

“I can’t say enough about how it gives me great pleasure to represent the ministerial, to encourage [young people] in

the same light that they’ve been raised in,” said Estabrooks.

“There are good qualities in our young people. To me it’s a way to encourage them to continue on as they go on with their journey. We’re glad to be part of it.”

News - Northumberland - Northumberland OPP reminds residents to ensure seasonal residences are secured in the off season.

These types of crimes are not new, and are very often preventable through community engagement; empowering communities to play an active role in crime reduction initiatives.

Cottages and summer homes are most vulnerable to thieves from the week following Thanksgiving to the weeks prior to Victoria Day, especially if the owners are not using them for fall, winter or spring getaways.

Remember, if there is no one living at it or check-ing it regularly, the cost of owning a seasonal prop-erty includes the frustration and irritation of repairing damage and replacing stolen property.

Here are a few tips to consider:Pack up all food and alcohol.Don’t leave firearms or weapons at the cottage.If you are leaving vehicles, make sure they’re

winterized, secure and disabled—for snow machines remove track and hide keys; ensure boats are covered and locked; outboard motors locked and slightly dis-assembled; ATVs disabled—leave nothing on trailers unless it is locked or disabled.

Leave no valuables at cottage—electronics, per-sonal items, tools etc. unless you are prepared to lose them.

Who is your contact (key holder) for: alarms, thefts, weather damage or animal problems? Do you have their contact information numbers? Are

they paid to check your cottage regularly or are they friends/neighbours?

Your insurance company may give you a deduc-tion if you have one.

Secure your windows and doors; close window curtains or blinds and put up shutters to protect inte-rior from marauders (both animals and human).

Record serial numbers of anything of value left be-hind, such as sporting goods: fishing rods and equip-ment, water skis, toys etc. If they’re not secured, locked up, hidden or both don’t expect them to be there next spring. Lock them up or be prepared to lose them.

And remember to make a list of where everything is and make copies; store one copy on your home computer and put a copy with property that will go back up to the cottage on the first or next trip (use your phone to take pictures).

Know which police force patrols your cottage area (which OPP Detachment and the phone number).

Police are reminding residents to contact the OPP Communications Centre immediately at 1-888-310-1122 to report any suspicious activity or suspicious vehicles in the area. Information such as suspect physical descriptions, suspect vehicles and direction of travel are useful tools for investigators.

Crime-Stoppers allows the public to submit their information anonymously online at <crimestopperss-dm.com> or by calling the tip line at 1-800-222-8577 24 hours a day. Your information could make you eli-gible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

By John CampbellNews - Campbellford - Campbell-ford Memorial Hospital (CMH) is do-ing a good job of meeting the goals and objectives it set for 2014-2015.

Improving the efficiency of the operating room, for example, “we’ve done a very good job in terms of making progress,” CEO and presi-dent Brad Hilker told the board of directors recently.

One “big thing” it’s done, chief nursing officer Jan Raine pointed out, is hold three orthopedic sessions to date, involving 17 patients.

Elsewhere, wait times for pa-tients with certain conditions having a colonoscopy done are equal to or “considerably better” than targets set by the province, she said.

One of the hospital’s operating rooms is in use every day because of the increased activity “and now we’re looking at filling the second OR,” Raine said, which has made the nurs-ing staff happy because “that’s what they’re trained for.”

The hospital set a goal of achieving a $20,000 surplus for the 2014-2015 fis-cal year and at last report, it was $1,215 to the good, so “we’re [heading] in the right direction,” Hilker said.

There has also been an increase in services provided locally in the areas of echocardiography, dermatology and falls prevention, as was contemplated in the hospital’s operating plan.

“We’ve had some great results,” with clinics for “people who feel they are at risk of falls, [and are] unsteady on their feet,” Hilker said.

A draft business plan has been prepared for a health links project in Northumberland County that will get its start in Trent Hills to enhance the quality of services provided.

CMH has also been able to see and discharge patients with “non-complex” conditions in the emergency depart-ment within the four-hour target it set, with the help of a nurse practitioner who now helps out six days a week.

“That’s really good,” Raine said, and has been “an ongoing trend for a while.”

The hospital is developing a “pa-tient-centred service delivery model” for its inpatient and emergency depart-ments. It will involve educating staff and appointing patient representa-tives to appropriate committees, such as critical care and palliative care by next April.

Raine said CMH has devised “an algorithm” or tool for identifying sus-pected physical, financial or mental abuse of elderly patients but health care in general “has a lot of work to do” in deciding what the proper re-sponse should be.

“The police do a better job [because] they’ve been on top of it long before we have been so we need to really fo-cus on that and figure out what is best

Hospital making steady progress on meeting its goals and objectives

practice,” Raine said, “and we don’t know that yet,

Susan Redhead, the di-rector of human resources, said CMH has moved to e-learning for orientation of new employees and “many kinds of training” where ap-propriate which allows them to educate themselves on their own.

“It’s a tremendous im-provement for us as an orga-nization,” she said.

Campbellford is working with the Local Health Inte-gration Network to develop a common set of policies and guidelines to address “attendance issues,” Red-head said.

Something “needed to be done, and we’re starting

to see some cost savings around that,” but while there have been “some improve-ments,” there is still “room to improve,” she said.

It can be “demotivating” for employees who come to work every day to see col-leagues take sick days to “go shopping … not that [it] happens frequently but we know that it does happen and we’re trying to get on top of those things more,” Redhead said.

Hilker said the hospital is looking at ways to improve its web site which has be-come “outdated” in how it makes information available to the public.

Dr. Bob Henderson said the community is “currently

very well served in many areas” by lo-cal health-care providers and out-of-town specialists who come to Camp-bellford on a regular basis.

“There are some gaps,” such as not having a pediatrician travel to Camp-bellford to provide local service on a regular basis, but there isn’t “the volume that makes it worthwhile to come,” Henderson said. “Most pediat-rics in this area is done by the family docs.”

News - Campbellford - John Papanicolaou, owner of Master Sub in Campbellford, recently presented the Camp-bellford Memorial Hospital Foundation with a cheque for $1,188.45 marking the 18th year in a row that he has sup-ported the purchase of high priority medical equipment for the hospital.

Since 1996 Papanico-laou has used his bonus sub sandwich coupons to raise funds for the hospital. With

this latest gift the Master Sub donation to the hospi-tal has reached an astound-ing $14,382.95.

“The patients and staff at Campbellford Memorial Hospital thank John and the Master Sub customers for their continued support,” said Calvin Newman, chair of the foundation’s board of direc-tors. “Support such as this al-lows the hospital to provide quality health care close to home every day of the year.”

Master Sub donates to hospital for almost two decades

Rising costs of healthy eating making it tough for people to make ends meet

News - Trent Hills - The cost of healthy eating continues to rise in 2014, putting the health of some local residents at risk, warns the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit. Elsie Azevedo Perry, a regis-tered dietitian with the HKPR District Health Unit noted in a press release that some low-income families do not have enough money to buy healthy food once other necessities such as rent, utilities, clothing and transportation are paid.

“If people cannot afford to eat healthy foods, their overall health is often affected,” she says. “They may be more prone to chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as depression and distress,” she said.

The Health Unit measured the cost of healthy eating in 2014 for Northumberland County, Haliburton County and the City of Kawartha Lakes using a tool called the Nutritious Food Basket Survey.

The basket consists of 67 food items that are nutritious and commonly purchased by Ontarians, but excludes other essentials such as cleaning products, diapers, toilet paper and personal care items.

Health Unit staff priced items in the

nutritious food basket at several local grocery stores earlier this year.

In 2014, the Health Unit found the cost to feed a family of four (father, mother, teen-aged boy and girl between the ages of four and eight) was $190.37 per week, an increase of $3.78 per week from 2013.

For a single parent with a young boy, the cost of a Nutritious Food Basket was $76.88 per week. That is an increase of $1.16 per week from 2013.

“The weekly increase in food costs may not seem like a lot, but once it’s spread out over an entire year, it can make it difficult for people on limited incomes or people living pay cheque to pay cheque to make ends meet,” Azevedo Perry said.

Typically, as the price of healthy eating increases, so will the costs associated with transportation, rent, utilities and other basic necessities.

Azevedo Perry said, “Then the situation is even worse, since someone who relies on social assistance or minimum wage may not see their income keeping pace with their overall living costs. Tough decisions need to be made, and purchasing healthy food may not be seen as important as paying other bills.” In the spirit of the holiday season, local

residents are being encouraged to donate healthy food items, warm clothing, toys or other essential household items that help families in need.

Gifts of money or volunteer time are also welcomed.

People can also rethink health and help reduce local poverty, said Perry.

“Health is about more than health care. Our health is also connected to where we live, the opportunities we have, the choices we make, and the decisions made by our government,” she said.

To that end, she urges people to lobby their municipal leaders to consider poverty-reduction strategies that help build a healthier community and address the root causes of poverty such as income security and affordable housing.

Municipal governments play a significant role, as many of the decisions they make and the programs and services provided can affect the well being of residents.

For more information, contact the Health Unit at 1-866-888-4577 or visit <www.hkpr.on.ca> under the “Adults/Rethink Health” section for practical ways residents and municipal leaders can create a healthier community.

Sounds of the season at St. Paul School

It was a night for musical celebration at St. Paul Elementary Catholic School in Norwood with stu-dents in all grades filling the school gym with the lovely sounds of the season. The annual Christmas concert was broken into two sections with primary students kicking off the festivities in grand style. The school’s older students completed the night of song and good cheer with their own concert. In the photos primary students take to the stage for family, friends and staff and give them the gift of music.

LIFESTYLES

Lifestyles - As you are reading this, Gentle Reader, I am on vacation and will be spending a few days catch-ing up on household tasks that have slipped by the wayside during the hustle and bustle of Yuletide prepara-tions. For example, a few flowerpots still need to be emptied and put into winter storage, the leaves need to be raked and some perennials need to be lifted and divided. Hmm, perhaps I’m a titch late with those.

Indoors, there is one minor proj-

A year of great people

Dan Clost

The Good Earth:ect that we’ll try to address, stripping wallpaper in the hallways. This job was started when our two daughters were in high school and five gradua-tion ceremonies later, is yet to be com-pleted. (Can I get a, “I hear you broth-er!” from other parents?) Perhaps this is the year we get it done, of course this depends on the quality of this edi-tion of the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship and how much of my time the boobtube receives.

Before the smarmy, smaltzy mush of New Year’s reminisces fill the TV specials and the glossy glam mags, I thought I would share with you some of the memorable groups and indi-viduals who have made my year so delightful.

There are heroes who transcend their challenges and just “carry on” with dignity and grace no matter the outcome. Dee, Susan and Paul, Lisa, Louise and Bruce, Peter, Craig and Kristin are amongst that group; Drew MacCandlish will always be remem-bered. They teach me what is impor-tant through their actions.

I do need to mention our religious groups who struggle against commer-cialism and material icons to bring the message of peace and love to those most in need of that comfort. To the new Trenton United Church (woohoo to the A-team), Quinte Alliance for their outstanding Road To Bethlehem community event and At The Cross-roads and the Salvation Army for their open welcome to all. We might not al-ways agree with theology but we all do need safe places.

In every community there are folks who lead by examples, and there is little to distinguish between the professional and the volunteer in this regard. They are both called to help out wherever they can. You’ll find them behind the scenes at food banks, MADD and Operation Red Nose, Meals on Wheels, Habitat for Humanity, Community Living; in the service clubs like Rotary, the Lions, Knights of Columbus, the Shriners and so on; you’ll read little notices in the newspapers about mitten trees, snowsuits, new-born caps and old-

born slippers, you’ll see folks help-ing out on the soccer pitch and the hockey rink or anywhere kids need help to participate; and, you might not see them but you know they are there at Three Oaks, Foundations For Youth and other safe places. These are the people who strive to make our communities safe and accessible for everyone. They are also the ones who give us our reality check when we’re sitting smug and comfy in our homes.

Music is very important to me and a few years ago I ventured out from the safety of my little den into the cold world of performance and criti-cisms, at least that is what I thought was out there. To Louise Ford, Paul King, James Reid and Bert Bowers, thank you for the encouragement. To my dear friends in The Lenses, Jane Richardson, Richard Kuntze, Brenda Ogden, Toni Klavers, Craig Carlson and Melissa Goudesne, thank you for a wonderful run and, still in music, to the other half of The Group of Two, Brittany Ollerenshaw, a classy lady

who makes singing fun. I’d like to in-clude Sound Hound, Andrew Crews, a renaissance man who knows the dif-ference between a jaunty musician’s cap and an old man’s flat cap, in this group of musical friends. Finally, to all of you who were on the other side of the performing platform and did not throw anything at me, thank you … although airplanes made of paper money would be welcome.

I know I have missed some folks, I blame it on the flat cap, but there are four special people without whom my daily passages would not be as joy-ful as they are: my mom, my wife, Betty, and our two daughters Robyn and Ellyn. They bless me with pur-pose, insight, companionship and un-compromising love and without them my world would be a dreary place. Shucks, best add in son-in-law Court into the group of folks of which I am moderately fond.

The New Year is coming with its ever present gift of hope for all peo-ples everywhere. Let’s join together to make it so.

By Sue DickensSports - Campbellford - For a group of youngsters landing a rock in the house and scoring while curling was not nearly as important as scoring with donations to the local food bank and The Salvation Army.

Kurl for Kids, a fund raiser held recently at the Campbellford Curling Club, organized by avid curler Rooke Meiklejohn, is what brought all the youngsters together.

Meiklejohn revived the event which he first held in 2001.

“I have two young kids who enjoy Christmas and I think everybody should enjoy Christmas and so that’s why I de-cided to do this again,” he said.

Meiklejohn is also one of several volunteers who help run the youth curl-ing at the club which wraps up at the end of the season with its own Camp-bellford Classic Little Rocks Bonspiel.

Kurl for Kids, though, was some-thing different. It was not a competi-tive bonspiel.

It was as simple as throwing a rock on the ice a few times at the club by participants who were asked to bring a toy and a non-perishable food item.

“We give the toys to The Salvation Army and the food to the Campbell-ford Fare Share Food Bank,” Meikle-

john explained as the young curlers interrupted a game on the ice to line up and have their picture taken for this newspaper with all that they had col-lected.

“Most of the young curlers are from Campbellford. One kid is from Stirling and one from Brighton and we have a team or two from Warkworth,” Meikle-john noted.

A total of nine teams of players took part in the day-long event.

“It’s a lot of fun and it’s for a good cause,” said Meiklejohn as he gathered everyone around the boxes of dona-tions.

“Later we’re doing an Italian dinner of spaghetti so everybody gets a nice home-cooked meal … and it’s all for a good cause,” he added.

For young Dylan Hart, who has been curling for about five years now, “it’s a pretty good day … just coming out and seeing all my friends.”

He said he usually takes the role of vice or skip when he curls.

Will Vandermeulen was also curling that day.

“I’ve curled before,” he said. “Me and Dylan curl here every winter and this is our fifth year. I mainly skip too,” he added.

“What I really like about curling is

the strategy of the game,” he said en-thusiastically.

Another of their friends, Nathan Brown, was there to have some fun

too.“I’ve curled only for about two years

and played vice,” he said.“It’s fun and I get to play with my

friends and my dad.”Several full boxes of toys and canned

goods were donated that day and deliv-ered just in time for Christmas.

Born to an Italian family and raised in the restaurant industry, Angela (mother, wife,triathlete and entrepreneur) instinctively knew that the 100 year old landmark buildingon the four corners of Carlisle was destined for greater heights. One day, whilst eatingice-cream with her 3 year old and watching the cars go by, it occurred to her that the carsgoing by could be stopping at her bistro. It wasn’t long before numbers were negotiated,permits issued and Cascata Bistro was born.

Following the farm to table philosophy which supports local farmers by using locallygrown seasonal produce when available, all of the menu items at the award winningCascata Bistro are handmade, ensuring only fresh quality ingredients are used. TogetherAngela and the bistro’s chef continuously strive to create new, delicious and enticingcombinations -often using herbs and vegetables from the bistro’s own kitchen garden.

By Bill FreemanEntertainment - Havelock - The Havelock Country Jamboree has added some festive cheer of their own to the season with a gener-ous hint of what’s in store next August when the 26th annual country music party kicks off.

The Jamboree, running from August 13 to 16, made its first reveal of acts to appear on the famous twin stages next summer including music and movie star Clint Black and his hit-making sound that’s topped the charts with 22 different songs through

an impressive career launched with his first album Killin’ Time.

Black, with over 12 million al-bums sold, will be part of the 25-act Jamboree lineup that includes seven-time International Blue-grass Music Association female vocalist of the year Rhonda Vin-cent, ten-time Canadian Country Music Association Award winner Gord Bamford, 2014 Juno Award winner Brett Kissel, The Stam-peders, John Cafferty and the legendary Beaver Brown Band, Mustang Sally, The Good Broth-ers, Ambush and Emi Sunshine.

More announcements are in the offing for the music and camping festival spread out over 500 acres.

Black made his mark right from the start with four straight number one singles from his hit album Killin’ Time and has been a consistently strong performer through nine studio albums and a career that’s taken him to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, only the fourth country artist to grace the famous landmark.

He’s also established himself as an actor with leading roles in

Havelock Jamboree makes some festive announcementsmovies like The Legend of Cadillac Jack and Still Hold-ing On.

Black won four major awards at the 1989 Ameri-can Country Music Awards including top male vocalist, album of the year, top new male vocalist and single of the year. The following year he picked up the Country Music Association’s vocalist of the year award.

Vincent, from Kirksville, Missouri, and part of a famous musical family, is one of the bluegrass music world’s su-perstars with no fewer than 12 IBMA awards and a place in Missouri’s Walk of Fame.

Kissel, an Alberta native, took the Canadian music scene by storm over the past year winning the Break-through Artist of the Year Juno and earning an album of the year nomination for Started With a Song. He also picked up the 2014 Canadian Radio Music Award for best new country artist as well as two Canadian Country Music Award wins.
