Junior A hockey coming to Colborne

By Ray Yurkowski

Sports - Colborne - It’s official, junior hockey is back at the Keeler Centre.

After a five-season hiatus, as a result of the Junior C Colborne Cobras moving to Port Hope to become the Panthers after the 2008-2009 season; fans will again have something to cheer about.

This time around, Colborne is on the receiving end of another team relocation as the Bobcaygeon Bucks, of the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League, come to town to become the ColborneCramahe Hawks. A four-year, renewable deal was inked last week.

How did team find Colborne? “[Team coach] Mike [Jeschke] approached me one day and said there was a nice venue down south,” said franchise owner Dan Fisher. “I had a look and decided this area would probably support it. Bobcaygeon was good to us but, in my mind, it was time to move on.”

The team will play a 42-game schedule, plus exhibition games and play-offs, which will see the Hawks travelling as far away as Cambridge, to the west, Quebec, to the east, and Sturgeon Falls, to the north. The regular season runs from early September to mid-February with tickets for home games set at $8.

“We’re going to try to put the best team on the ice as we can,” he said, adding the ideal situation would be to have ten local and 15 import players filling out the Hawks’ lineup. Currently, the Bucks feature an international group of players coming from across North America, including California, B.C., Quebec and Ontario as well as Mexico, Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. Starting in April, a local open tryout camp will run on Tuesday evenings at Cobourg for Hawks hopefuls ages 16 to 21.

The Hawks will be getting involved in the Please see “Junior A” on page 3 Cramahe Mayor Marc Coombs was all smiles last week as team owner Dan Fisher signed a deal to bring Junior A hockey to Colborne. Photo: Ray Yurkowski

Chamber of Commerce Cramahe council gets celebrates 25 years first look at budget

By Ray Yurkowski

By John Campbell

News – Brighton – The Brighton and District Chamber of Commerce has plenty of reason to celebrate this year at their annual general meeting. It marks the 25th anniversary of the local business organization and, once the proceedings are done, they could be going forward under a new name and logo.

The Chamber started out as tourism association says founding member Lou Rinaldi, who will be the special guest at the event and presented with a honourary lifetime membership.

“It was comprised of five municipalities, which was unheard of back then,” he said, in an interview early this week. “Nobody thought we could work together but it was

News – Cramahe Township – Council got its first look at the 2014 draft budget last week and the forecast prepared by staff showed a 4.25 per cent increase in the tax rate.

But that will change, once council has had more time to study and comment on what’s being proposed before giving its approval, likely in April.

Staff already has some ideas it will bring forward to lessen the impact on ratepayers.

Although the initial draft calls for a seven per cent increase in the

News – Warkworth – The silly season will have to wait another year.

The Warkworth Business Association had intended to launch Silly Second Sundays in June but second thoughts have led the organization to postpone its debut until 2015.

“We want it to have real impact,” WBA chair Kim MacNeil said, but “we were a bit aggressive in thinking we could get everything done (by June) ... It was just going to be too much work.”

The plan remains to have several events, “some really fun stuff,” including live entertainment and special art, take place throughout the village every second Sunday in June through August to attract visitors, MacNeil said. Research has shown that “it is significant events that bring people to Warkworth,” and one of the key points in the association’s strategic plan is “to develop another event” to help local businesses prosper.

A committee was formed to organize Silly Second Sundays and was given seed money to help with its preparations.

“It is such an exciting event and there’s so much we want to accomplish with it, we needed the extra year,” MacNeil said.

She has chaired the WBA before and agreed to do it again when no one stepped forward

to replace outgoing chair Neil Graham.

It’s a situation that has caused some concern. According to the minutes of the association’s January meeting, the “difficulty in finding people to stand for leadership positions should they become directors threatens the ongoing viability of the WBA as it currently stands.”

“We did have a struggle getting a slate,” MacNeil admitted. “People running businesses are very, very busy and can’t always be part of an executive group, and we don’t have a whole lot of businesses to draw from.”

But “it’s not just the WBA, everybody is having trouble (recruiting helpers),” she said.

“There’s only so many people to go around and some people are retiring from the volunteer work.”

MacNeil expressed confidence the organization will regain the vigour it had when it energized the village’s longterm revitalization plan that comes to an end this year with the third and final phase, the lighting of the bridges.

“We’re proud of what it looks like and all the work that’s gone into it,” she said.

“This is a place where, despite the challenges, we’re able to get things done.”

People “come together in the end and I don’t see any reason why that won’t continue.”

Cramahe council gets first look at budget

total levy to $4,970,000, “that’s not what we’re recommending,” CAO Christie Alexander told council March 6 at a special meeting held to begin a review of the budget.

“We are coming back with some recommendations the council can consider that will significantly change that.”

The target is to reduce the levy increase “to just under four” per cent, she said.

That will be a challenge as most of the levy increase, 6.6 per cent, is the result of higher “uncontrollable” costs, such as policing (an extra $110,720), salaries and benefits related to the collective agreement with unionized employees ($68,000), insurance ($14,000) and the Keeler Centre loan ($13,375).

Cramahe is also getting $89,600 less from the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund this year.

The budget, as of last week, projected expenditures of $8.5 million, with the top five spending areas being transportation ($1.6 million), protection ($1.5 million), environment ($1.4 million), general government ($1.4 million) and recreation and culture ($1 million).

Last year, the municipal tax rate went up 2.27 per cent, the first time taxes had been raised for local purposes since 2008.

Included in the levy is $7,000 to provide free WiFi at a “downtown hot spot” in Colborne, to serve local residents and attract tourists.

The municipality plans to upgrade its contract ! serwith Shelter of Hope to a full animal control

as more inclusive and the new board of directors has been working very hard toward that goal. In fact, they have made it the number one goal in the strategic plan they adopted at the general meeting held last October at the Keeler Centre.”

“Certainly there have been changes over the past twenty-five years, but the one constant is the Chamber’s role in supporting and promoting a strong local business community,” added president Eric Davidson. “We’re pleased to celebrate our past and we look forward to our continuing future as the voice of business in Brighton and Cramahe.”

Pre-amalgamation, the membership included the Town of Brighton, Brighton Township, the Town of Colborne, Cramahe Township and Murray Township. Then, the foundation for the Chamber took root around Rinaldi’s kitchen table.

“We wanted to be a little more inclusive than just tourism,” he said. “The philosophy was for local businesses to work together and promote business, in general, in the area.”

The last 25 years has seen many changes for the Chamber and, this year, the membership will vote on a proposal for one more; a change of name and a revised set of bylaws to recognize the affiliation of Brighton and Cramahe.

“This is exciting news,” said Cramahe Township Mayor Marc Coombs. “Having that level of hockey back is good for the economics of the facility and the community and it’s also entertainment. It’s something that’s been missed here for awhile.”

Here’s what happened; upon renewing my Home Insurance recently, I found myself being asked politely if I can change my oil furnace to gas. I know I am not alone. So, doing a little research, I found out that there are many reasons to do so. Let me name a few; 1. Natural gas or propane is reason enough to save on energy, I understand it can be as much as 70%/year as well as provide my family with a very efficient heating and cooling system. 2. Furthermore, the Ont. Power Auth.(opa) allow up to $650 in an incentive program (with eligibility). Then a co-worker told me about Access HVAC in Belleville, ON. They offered him a financing plan under $100/mth with no payments for the first 12 mths (oac). 3. They also provided him with an additional rebate incentive which once combined with the OPA was up to $2000. 4. Apparently they converted everything for him the same day. Plus my TH TH co-worker had no gas in the area, No Problem, Access HVAC set everything with propane. They even have a MARCH special with *A/C units at 50% off. If this winter is any indication of what’s coming, better be prepared to combat a very HOT Summer.

OMHA Novice championship begins in Brighton

By Ray Yurkowski

Sports - The Brighton Tim-Br Mart Novice Braves are going for red as they begin their best-of-five CC-C Eastern Championship series this weekend against the Newcastle Stars.

This will be the fourth series for the Braves in the hunt for the Lou Jefferies Trophy and one of minor hockey’s most prized awards: the crimson cap awarded only to OMHA champions.

It started in January, when the novice squad defeated the Tweed Hawks in four games including two in overtime. Then the Braves swept by the Orono Leafs.

The semi-final series against the Norwood Hornets was decided in back-to-back 4 - 3 overtime victories in games three and four. The first was on February 28 at Norwood. With the game tied 2 - 2, the Hornets scored with 58 seconds left on the clock to take the lead.

Thirty seconds later, Braves forward Jack Moran scored the tying goal to force overtime. Justin Murdoch tallied at the seven-minute mark and the Brighton squad took a two-games-to-one advantage.

The second was even more dramatic. At home on March 2, the Braves held a 3 - 2 lead late in the third period. The Hornets pulled their goaltender for the extra forward and they scored to tie the game.

At the 38-second mark of regulation time, the Braves took a bodychecking penalty and held off a Hornet powerplay. Then in overtime, it was Moran again, scoring a shorthanded goal to win the game and the series.

The Stars won their semi-final series last weekend in a 1 - 0 gamefive showdown against the Stayner Cyclones.

Dear Editor, As I see it, the Municipality of Brighton Procedural Bylaw is essentially the Constitution of this Municipality. Unfortunately, there is no bylaw controlling amendment(s) to this document and this needs to change. It is the primary document which details the way council operates based on the established democratic processes.

By Provincial Law, the Procedural Bylaw must reflect the tenets of the Ontario Municipal Act and may be tailored by local government to meet the needs of the citizens of the municipality. Proposed changes must be considered carefully and reflect the majority opinion of council rather than those of hired support elements. It should not contain bias nor be amended frivolously. Citizens of the Municipality of Brighton must be made aware of changes to their de facto constitution before they are approved by council.

As previously noted, there is no dedicated bylaw regulating amendments, which may result in additions, deletions and external agency changes which are not in the best interests of citizens. Incorporation of an amending procedure will protect all council members as

well as the public by ensuring all are aware of pending changes. I include the Tay Valley amending formula as an example worthy of consideration.

“No amendment or repeal of this Bylaw or any part thereof shall be considered at any meeting of Council unless public notification of proposed amendment has been given at least once in a local paper a minimum of 10 days prior to adoption. The waiving of this notice by Council is prohibited.”

My concern originates with an Integrity Commissioner report tabled at a November 4 2013 meeting of council. I am certain he (the Commissioner) is aware of the fact that both question period and citizens comment have been taking place in a respectful and moderate atmosphere since they were restored/added to the existing procedural bylaw.

Despite awareness of council’s ongoing use of “Question Period” and incorporation of, “Citizens Comment,” a list from Amberley Gavel Limited appeared as item 10.3 (Procedural Bylaw Amendments) at the November 4 2013 council meeting. The letter stated in part that, “These are some recommendations to the Municipal Procedural Bylaw that should be

Since I am hard of hearing I could not contact the license department by phone to schedule a meeting to renew my license and this leaves me with no other way of making contact. I notified the Transportation minister of this fact and am waiting for a reply.

I surmise that the transportation department does not have anyone working there over 80 that would understand our problems and imagine it is the same for other departments also.

addressed and I include them as follows:” The list includes 19 items within the procedural bylaw including the deletion of both “Question Period” and “Citizen Comment” both of which are useful and democratic processes that give both the public and the press a venue whereby they can state their concerns to council and ask questions regarding agenda subjects.

With regard to item 6.8, his advice is somewhat condescending as the statement reads, “You know my advice on Public Question Period.” This is a sentence one would use when chiding or correcting the actions of a small child.

Fortunately, a councillor who supports both question period and public comment brought forward a motion to prevent the loss of these forums. The items recommending the deletion of Citizens Comment and Question Period were excluded from the list. All other recommendations were incorporated into the Procedural Bylaw.

If you are truly a master in your own house you do not depend upon others to recommend the rules of housekeeping.

Roger McMurray Brighton

Well what do you know

Dear Editor, I have rarely read such a mean-spirited letter as that

by Rob Groves. It is insulting to read, doubly so as he professes to speak for “us all.”

Five times he states that “we all know” and tells us we should at least know if we are literate.

Well, I for one “do not know.”

I respect our politicians to the extent that they do the best they can; only to wonder why they want to do the job and open themselves to the type of criticism levelled

by Mr. Groves. He apparently believes them to be clowns and self-serving liars looking after themselves first.

I wonder if any of us who know a politician personally (may be your neighbour) would apply such derogatory terms to them. One thing I suspect (note: do not know) is that when the time comes for nominations for people who are, at least, wanting change and willing to do something positive, Mr. Groves’ name will not be on that list.

Indian election could mean push to right

Editorial - An Indian election is a marathon, not a sprint. The voting will start in a month’s time, on April 7, but the voting will move around the country on nine phases, ending on May 12. Then the votes will all be counted—there are 814 million eligible voters—and the result will be known on May 16. But a lot of people think they know the result now: Narendra Modi of the BJP will be prime minister, and India will swing Gwynne Dyer hard right.

The BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party – Indian People’s Party) is a socially conservative, Hindu nationalist party that has only had one full term in national office, in 1998-2004. That time, it led a broad coalition that restrained its more extreme sectarian impulses. This time, however, many Indian observers claim to detect a “Modi wave” of support that might carry the BJP into power on its own. That would certainly make for interesting times.

Narendra Modi is best known for two things: the remarkable economic growth and relative freedom from corruption of his home state of Gujarat, and his alleged complicity in the massacre of more than 1,000 Muslims during religious riots shortly after he became chief minister of Gujarat in 2001.

The prosperity of Gujarat is obviously a political asset for him. The problem is that his alleged religious extremism is also an asset in the view of some of his potential supporters.

Indeed, that is probably why Modi has never expressed any regret or offered any apologies for the riots, an omission that many see as disqualifying him for high political office.

One such is Manmohan Singh, India’s prime minister for the last ten years, who said when announcing his retirement in January: “It would be disastrous for the country to have Narendra Modi as the next prime minister. If by a strong prime minister they mean you preside over the massacre of innocent citizens on the streets … I do not believe that is the sort of strength this country needs.”

But the ruling Congress Party is weighed down by corruption scandals and slowing economic growth, and Congress’s candidate for prime minister is none other than Rahul Gandhi, whose father, grandmother and great-grandfather have all held the job in the past. But Rahul’s political ideas seem half-formed, his rhetoric struggles under the burden of words like “empowerment,” and he is seriously lacking in novelty value.

Hence the “Modi wave.” The BJP currently leads Congress by a wide margin in the opinion polls: a January poll gave it 34 per cent of the vote, almost twice as much as it got in the last national election in 2009. Voters prefer Modi to Gandhi as prime minister in virtually every state—and among 18- to 25-year-old voters the BJP outpolls Congress almost two-toone.

So the pundits are speculating on how a BJP government would behave if it were led by Narendra Modi and had no need of coalition partners. There is no precedent for that. Last time the BJP government was a complicated coalition led by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a poet and intellectual of moderate views, and none of its more extreme nationalist and Hindu positions got translated into actual policies.

If it were different this time, then India would be moving into unknown waters, and the possibilities would be as alarming as they were extreme. But that may just be Indian journalists trying to inject a little more tension and excitement into the story. The reality is probably rather less exciting.

Thirty-four per cent of the vote is much better than the BJP got last time, but it doesn’t get you a majority in the parliament. In fact, it leaves you about 50 seats short of a majority, which tumbles you back into the real world of coalitions and deals, and having to put aside your cherished sectarian goals in order to make the deals work. Just like last time, even if your name is Narendra Modi.

Getting to 50 per cent of the vote is almost impossible for any political party in the Indian political system, because a good deal of the vote always goes to regional and local parties that are quite separate from the big national parties. It’s especially hard for the BJP, because it’s hard to imagine that any of the 13 per cent of Indians who are Muslim would vote for the BJP. There are 39 parties in the current parliament, and there may be even more in the next one. Most of them would be willing to join a coalition government in return for concessions on whatever local or regional issues they or their voters care about, but they will also have red lines that must not be crossed or they will leave the coalition.

Assuming that the outcome of the election does leave the BJP as the biggest party, but without an overall majority, those red lines will probably confine Narendra Modi to relatively moderate policies on religious issues. If not, then India is in for a wild ride, and at the end of it the country may no longer be known for its tolerance.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Weather engineering by world powers Dear Editor It wasn’t until recently that I learned that various nations in this world of ours have the power to influence the weather.

It is an alarming and frightening realization that is in fact, a reality.

This subject is well known to the world superpowers, United States and Russia, who themselves have been able to create serious weather situations that created havoc and economic losses. (See Wisconsin Rain Storm 1978).

The consequences of this development were so serious that realizing the danger of a devastating confrontation between the United States and Russia was so great that in 1977, a UN treaty against weather modification for hostile purposes was signed by the United States and Russia. Does Russia honour their treaties?

This treaty, however, did not signify the end of weather experimentation. Other nations have also developed the means to modify weather; this subject is rarely ever talked about and is never put into the public media mainstream.

A Russian company in 1972, Elat Intelligence Technolo-

gies, was selling weather control equipment tailored to specific needs of those nations who wanted to pay big money for this technology.

If one remembers that in 1950, North America had one of the worst winters ever. In 1950, we were in the middle of the Cold War with the USSR. Were they able to influence the weather for North America?

Fast forward to today, and amid evidence that Putin of the Russian Federation wants to take over those small countries that were previously part of the USSR, North America has experienced one of the worst winters ever, causing huge economic losses and total disruption of our populations.

During this winter, the jetstream has maintained a very low and static position south of the Great Lakes, which has brought about the severe cold and record amounts of snow.

Could the Russians have engineered this? Anything is possible. For the record, all of this information is available on the Internet. You just have to look.

Kate’s dreams

By Kate Everson Editorial - The first thing you have to do when writing an editorial is cut your fingernails. With all that click-clacking on the keyboard, trying to write 900 words gets annoying. Not that I mind being asked to write an editorial since the editor is on holidays trekking in Nepal. I haven’t been asked to write an editorial since I worked for The Community Press many years ago, and for some reason, nobody has asked me since. So ... this is my chance! What can I say that I am not normally allowed to say, trying to be an objective reporter?

Politics? Gag me with a spoon. The weather? That could get boring, since all I can see out my window right now is snow. What else? Women’s issues? That would only appeal to half the readership, although ... no, better not go there. I may just step over the line a bit on that one. I do have things to say that had better not be said.

But ... hmmmm ... women do have a few issues. And most of them are men. I do believe in equality of the sexes. I wish men believed in it too.

Who is ruling the world? Men. Why is the world in such a mess? Men. Enough said. Well, just one more thing.

Have you ever wondered why men are so odd? I mean, look at them.

They are kind of cute, some of them, but the rest are just falling apart.

Big stomachs (beer belly, they say proudly), very little hair (oh we are the most virile, they say with a wink) and they talk more, much more than they think.

Look at our politicians. Okay, I know I said I wouldn’t get into politics, but now you’ve got me going. I really liked Harper when I first met him, shaking hands at the local Tim Hortons a few years back. He seemed like a nice, friendly, honest, down-home kinda guy. His hair was a bit odd, but that’s probably not his fault (blame the wife, of course).

But now, I don’t know. He seems to like money more than people. I mean, I like money too (if I had any) but somehow real flesh and blood people seem more important. He wants the pipeline to disrupt people’s lives and their homes. He wants the tar sands to hurt the ecology. He doesn’t care about Frank Meyers farm, but likes militants instead.

But I do have to give him credit for one thing. He took a stand against Russia in the Ukraine. Maybe because he comes from the west and knows a lot of people from there. Immigrants, families eking out an existence in the cold prairies. You have to feel sorry for them, here and there.

But I wonder how different he would be if he were a she. Instead of Stephen Harper, let’s call her Stephanie.

Now, Stephanie, can we talk? I know you just got out of a meeting at the Parliament buildings and you don’t normally talk to reporters without a set list of questions, but seriously, can we just talk, face to face, woman to woman?

How much do you want to bet she’d say yes? Of course, Katie, I’d love to talk to you. Let’s sit down and have a cappuccino and maybe a sticky bun. And then it would begin. The real dialogue. The meat of the matters.

What is really going on. Wouldn’t we all love to know? Somehow, I think it would be better if there were more females in politics. Compared to the population ratio, we are severely under-represented. How can we expect the world to care about people if we don’t include the most caring?

Women are by nature, nurturers. We care when someone is hurting. We don’t count the change in our purse and look the other way. We reach out a hand, and say, “Come here. Let’s have a hug.” Somehow I can’t imagine male politicians doing that.

But you have to give them some credit. Men do make the world go around. Without them, what would we have? A world based on humanity and love instead of greed and posturing? A world where people talk, and actually listen to each other? Imagine.

There is one glimmer of hope out there. I recently attended a Liberal conference and listened to a female Senator talk about women in politics.

It was good. At the end of it, I picked up a Justin Trudeau button and put it on my lapel. He is such a cutie. And he cares. Just like his dad.

I remember the days of Pierre Elliott Trudeau. He was a cutie too in his day. And he snagged Margaret and had three lovely boys and one of them is now following in his footsteps.

Pierre didn’t care about the bureaucracy. He talked to the people first.

He made sure things were going right with them. He never refused to talk to reporters, in fact he always had more to say than they bargained for.

Fuddle duddle!

If I were to rule the world, I would make it a law that all countries treated women with respect. No more putting them down. Equality everywhere.

If women ruled the planet, there would be no more suffering. The world would be a greener place, no smoke spewing out to kill the atmosphere, no more hunger or pain, just sharing and caring.

I can dream can’t I? Spring is coming!

News - Brighton - Hold on taxpayers. That 1.64 per cent blended tax rate, recommended by the Committee of the Whole on February 19, is now set at 3.4 per cent after a third-draft budget meeting held last week. The blended rate combines county, education and municipal levees.

complete the project?” wondered Mayor Mark Walas. “We’re continually going back to the taxpayer to find these dollars. I know reserves are a ‘rainy day’ fund, but this is a rainy day issue.”

“The contingency reserve could be used but the education levy decrease this year has provided an opportunity,” advised Frost. “Council should take advantage of that opportunity, take the money we’re saving and apply it to roads infrastructure. It’s clear to us [those roads] are a priority and need to be addressed, but you need to be smart in the way you do that. We’ve borrowed a lot in the last few years and I caution you in depleting those reserves too far.”

Vandertoorn suggested a project assessment “might result in a combination of resurfacing and total reconstruction to achieve some middle ground.”

“The question is, do all areas need to be reconstructed?” he said. “Some areas are worse than others and some areas are not all that bad.”

Then it was decision time.

How much should be added to the budget?

“We have to come to some number tonight so staff can be creative and get some work done,” said Vandertoorn. “By increasing the budget by $250,000 on the capital side it would leave us with a blended rate of 3.4 per cent but we would be able to get more work done.”

The motion—from Councillor Tom Rittwage, seconded by Walas—recommends sending the

2014 budget, with an increase of $250,000 to the capital budget, to council for approval. As well, a staff report will deliver options for the sidewalk snow plow purchase and the Stoney Point - Shoal Point Roads project. The residential tax increase on a home assessed at $250,000 in 2013 will see a $102.19 increase on this year’s tax bill.

“When we started, our firstdraft budget proposed high double-digit increases and there was a lot of work done around this table to bring that number down to where we are now,” concluded Vandertoorn. “It’s a challenge and a balancing act.”

The plow was out of service several times this winter and the estimated cost of repairs to replace the transmission are upwards of $20,000. A rental, at $5,300 per month, could top $25,000 for a regular, five-month winter season. The committee was asked to consider an increase of $75,000 to match the same amount already in the 2014 budget.

“Should council not wish to continue this service, it could enact a bylaw similar to the one adopted in other municipalities where property owners are responsible for snow removal from sidewalks in front of their respective properties,” said Widdifield, in her report.

“It’s all about service delivery and what level we wish to continue,” added Chief Administrative Officer Gayle Frost.

Councillor John Martinello balked at that idea.

“I don’t think having the residents clear their own sidewalks is much of an option at all,” he said.

“This winter has really brought the need for a sidewalk plow into focus,” added Councillor Tom Rittwage.

Initially, roadwork on Shoal Point and Stoney Point Roads were included but removed during the second draft and deferred to next year to reduce the overall budget. Estimates of $106,000 would resurface the current base, but staff policy recommends total reconstruction, at a cost of $480,000.

“What is stopping us from keeping the original budget estimate and use reserve dollars to

Do you frequently experience a dry mouth? Xerostomia (the clinical term for dry mouth) is a condition of the salivary glands which leads to a less than adequate supply of saliva.

Causes may include over-thecounter medications, commonly prescribed drugs, radiation treatment, chemotherapy, hormonal changes, and diabetes. Contributing factors include stress, anxiety, depression, and poor nutrition.

If you are experiencing a dry mouth, it is highly recommended that you seek the care of a dental professional.

For those who live in or around the Trenton/Quinte West and Belleville area, Dr. Brett's Family Dentistry is a practice to consider. They are accepting new patients and Dr. Brett and his caring, professional staff will attempt to answer any questions you may have and help to provide options to manage your condition.

They will begin by pointing out the importance of saliva for lubrication, taste, swallowing, speaking and digestion. More importantly, dry mouth increases your risk of tooth decay and other oral problems.

Cramahe fire chief proposes adding a full-time assistant

News – Cramahe Township – Fire Chief Brandon Northrup has proposed creating a second full-time position to assist him and other municipal departments but two council members aren’t buying it.

Councillors Ed Van Egmond and Clinton Breau spoke out against the idea when Northrup presented it to council at a special budget meeting March 6, even though the fire chief insisted a full-time assistant would lessen the workload of other township staff and save the township money.

He said having himself and another full-time firefighter on duty during the day, for example, would eliminate the possibility of multiple volunteers responding to medical minor assists, and being paid for calls that might last no more than 10 minutes.

“Often enough we arrive on scene and we’re not even required,” he said.

Northrup noted in his report that 48 per cent of the department’s calls are for medical assistance and many of those, 47.5 out of 117 in the past two years, were between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

He and his assistant could answer those on their own by being paged using an alternate tone.

This, in turn, would enable the department to reduce, through attrition, the number of firefighters it needs, Northrup argued.

The assistant fire chief also would take over fire prevention and training duties as well as equipment maintenance currently handled by volunteer firefighters.

Northrup said “increased fire prevention ... ideally would reduce the number of incidents,” and with it the cost of firefighting services.

The full-time employee would assist the other departments by serving as an alternate building official, processing burn permits, removing snow at the fire department parking lots and around fire hydrants, and helping to evaluate emergency route road conditions.

Van Egmond said having one person “cover all these positions is just pie in the sky” but CAO Christie Alexander said staff have “put a lot of thought into this” because “the various departments are stretched to the limit.”

Van Egmond said he knows extra staff is needed but he wasn’t convinced hiring a “Superman” to handle all these duties is a good idea. The township has tried in

the past to have an employee wear more than one hat and “it doesn’t work,” he said.

Breau agreed, saying when it was done before that an employee was assigned multiple roles, it proved too much and “something had to give.”

Christie said “it really does make sense” to have a assistant fire chief back up the chief building official “because fire and building inspections often go hand in hand.”

Van Egmond said he “would have been a lot happier” if the proposal had been for two part-time staff to handle the separate roles.

Chief Building Official Natalie Moroz-Cornell said it’s “very common” to have a building official with a fire protection background and she cited other municipalities where it has been done.

Deputy-mayor Jim Williams spoke in favour of Northrup’s proposal. The township has tried for three years to find someone to handle the chief building official’s job so she can take holidays but it’s failed.

“It has to be part of another job,” he said, and “there is a definite need to increase the amount of time spent on fire prevention.”

Moroz-Cornell said she needs help because she has “400 open permits sitting in (her) drawer right now ... that all need to be closed.”

Questions were raised about the cost of the new position, which wouldn’t start

until July. It could cost close to $80,000 a year with benefits, which Van Egmond said was “way too high.”

Northrup said he had adjusted his budget to come up with the money required for the six months the position would be filled in 2014; the township would use the $20,000 it currently pays two volunteers for fire prevention and training, and get the balance from a salary that had been budgeted in 2013 for another position on

township staff but was eliminated.

There will be enough money left over to help cover the person’s wages and benefits next year as well, Alexander said.

Cramahe resident Peggy Klem asked if there was “a hidden agenda” and the new position represented “the crest of the slippery slope of easing out the volunteers and going to a paid fire department.”

Northrup replied “not at all, we don’t

have the call volumes here to have fulltime firefighters.”

Preventing fires is the main objective which will lower those numbers, he added.

“We need to go back to the drawing board,” Councillor Pat Westrope said.

Mayor Marc Coombs said council would look at all the different factors at a future meeting before making a decision.

Winter can be worrisome.

Treacherous winter roads can make it difficult to visit your aging parents. A move to Seasons means a vibrant, carefree retirement for them and peace of mind for you.

hour after church this past week. If you recall that was “spring the clock forward day” … followed by “fall back into bed for another hour.” At least that is how my partner for an early morning squash game tried to excuse himself.

The outcome of the conversation was not that the time had changed, rather, how we attempt to measure it needed adjusting.

At the garden centre we have a serviceberry tree (produces a fruit similar to small apples or blueberries) which is visited in early summer by cedar waxwings and the newest of their flocks. They will arrive at the same time of the day (not the same time of the clock) enjoy a quick nosh and then fly on. By the clock they arrive about 15-30 seconds later; by the day they arrive when the sun is the same distance from the horizon.

So, now’s the time to mention phenol-

ogy. This is the study, or paying attention to, the relationships between plant and animal life cycles and how they respond to environmental factors, such as temperatures, seasons etc. Basically, lots of things are happening at the same time in the natural environment and if you notice one thing you can be confident that something else is happening. Here’s an example: The northern forsythia, Forsythia ovata, will bloom when the soil temperature reaches 55°F (12°C). This is the time that the soil, and all that is in it from microscopic bugs to relatively huge weed seeds, get busy. I will likely write about this again as I believe gardeners should understand these relationships. Once they do, they won’t need experts to say “Now’s the time.”

It was put on hold in response to community concerns, and until additional engineering work could be conducted on alternatives. This work has now been completed, and concludes that replacing the existing Campbellford Bridge is also a feasible alternative to meet Campbellford’s future transportation needs.

THE EVALUATION: Now there are two finalist alternatives for the Trent River crossing at Campbellford to serve long term needs; 1) the 1Bridge Alternative to twin/replace the existing Bridge Street bridge ultimately with a new wider structure at this location), or 2) the 2-Bridge Alternative to construct a new bridge between Second St. and Alma St, and then replace the existing two lane Bridge Street bridge in the future when required. These two finalist river crossing alternatives have been evaluated using 22 criteria representing Transportation, Social Environment, Cultural Environment, Natural Environment, Economic Environment and Cost. The study consultants have concluded that the 2-Bridge Alternative is the preferred plan to meet the County’s long term transportation, community growth and economic development needs. Reasons for this conclusion will be presented at the following Public Information Centre: DATE: TIME: PLACE:

clude updates until Sox’s antics became more popular than anything I had to write about horticulture. So, Sox got spiked.

However, this past week over a dozen folk asked about him.

Sigh. Sox is doing fine and has decided that he likes snow. He is shedding, black and white hair, discriminately in the sense that black hair is on the beige sofa and white hair is on the blue comforter. He seems to be a titch itchy as well, probably because of the dry air in the house.

Snow has become a positive factor. Sox will roll around in it and then move on to another spot and continue the rolling. When we looked at the first site, we saw that it was covered in hair, sort of like a lint brush. He’ll do this in several spots, give himself a shake and then come back inside, sans several pounds of hair.

O&S#3 Canada Blooms Canada’s premier garden show runs from March 14 to 23 at the Direct Energy Centre in Toronto. I’ll be visiting on March 14.

I’m particularly exited about a presentation by Astrid Muschalla entitled Foundation of a Healthy Garden - The Wild Soil Inhabitants. Folks, the line-up of speakers and demonstrators is, imho, the best ever. Type in Canada Blooms 2014 into your browser, scan through the daily schedules and pick your most interesting day.

O&S#4 Didi Curry I am saddened to repeat the news that Didi Curry, of Hill Top Pastures, has passed away. Our communities and our understanding of how those communities relate to this good earth have been shaped by the tremendous background work of people like Didi. I met Didi through her husband Willy Curry, an internationally known squash (the game) expert, at a local sports club. It was my pleasure to interview them a few years ago about organics, Woofers, community-shared agriculture and a host of other seemingly unrelated topics. The latter included her philosophical approach to life and how it was applied in practical terms, including gardening.

I am grateful for having met and chatted with Didi, for however brief a time it might have been, for she did change my perspective.

News – Campbellford – Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan joined local dignitaries from across the county who are delivering meals to clients of Meals on Wheels this month, as part of the March for Meals Initiative.

“For people who can’t get out, especially this time of year, I think it’s very very important they have access to a nutritious meal,” Macmillan said Monday when he picked up containers of food for delivery.

Meals on Wheels is one of many programs offered by Community Care Northumberland (CCN).

The mayor was joined by CCN volunteer Franklin Carwardine.

“I am going to do this every Monday,” he said with a grin.

Carwardine has been a volunteer for several years.

“One of Frank’s gifts is he is good company. The people he delivers to look forward to seeing him,” said Kari Crate, outcome support facilitator with Community Living in Campbellford.

Community Care for Northumberland says the March for Meals Initiative is designed to promote the important role the program plays in caring for members in the community.

Delicious, nutritious meals are available for a small fee to individuals who cannot cook for themselves or easily shop for groceries.

Volunteers deliver meals to client’s homes during the noon hour.

Last year, from April 1 to Dec. 31, they delivered 3.136 hot and frozen meals throughout the Municipality of

New specialist joins Campbellford Memorial Hospital clinic

News - Campbellford - Dermatologist Renita Ahluwalia has joined Campbellford Memorial Hospital’s consulting specialist staff.

Currently based at Women’s College Hospital in Toronto, Ahluwalia is scheduled to work at CMH on a monthly basis, with her first clinic scheduled for Friday, April 11.

The hospital’s latest recruit means better access to specialized care. Appointments for consultations will be received by the booking office at CMH through referrals from a family physician.

“Dr. (Joe) Barbero has told me so much about how wonderful the people of Campbellford are,” Ahluwalia said. “I know how difficult it is to attract specialists to the area and I am looking forward to working with you all. I would also like to thank the Trent Hills Physician Recruitment Committee for assisting me in coming on board.” Susan Robinson, manager of the hospital’s emergency and outpatient clinics, was excited to have Ahluwalia come to CMH. “It has been many years since we have had dermatology services available to us right at home,” she said. “She brings the latest knowledge with her, as well as access to a network

of information through her work at Women’s College.”

Ahluwalia, a certified dermatologist by Canadian and American boards, practices in both academic and private practice, and is appointed at Women’s College Hospital. She completed her undergraduate studies in her hometown of Winnipeg, earning both a B.A. and B.Sc. from the University of Manitoba in four years.

She then studied medicine at the University of Toronto, where she went on to complete residency training in dermatology, serving as chief resident during her final year.

She has presented at national and international meetings and has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Canadian Dermatology Associations Young Investigator Honour.

As a former national public speaking champion, Ahluwalia uses her passion to be a health advocate for dermatological issues including skin cancer awareness and prevention.

faithful might be seeing a few fresher faces in the crowd.

Headlining Friday are American rockers Weezer, who are well-known in North America for their hit singles Buddy Holly, Island in the Sun and Say it Ain’t So among others.

Weezer is joined Friday night by popular Nova Scotia rock group The Trews, whose debut album House of Ill Fame went gold in Canada back in 2003 and who have since followed up with four more albums to their name.

“That’s going to hit a different demographic; anyone can come and enjoy it but it’s going to be mainly people in their thirties and forties who will probably want to see that,” Rashotte said.

Finally, Saturday night closes out Rockfest with one of the most recognizable names in rock ’n’ roll history, Sammy Hagar.

The former Van Halen lead singer has seen his music career span over four decades, and when he visits Rockfest he’ll be bringing a few special friends with him as well in former Van Halen bass player Michael Anthony, Bus Boys guitarist Vic Johnson and drummer Jason Bonham, son of the legendary Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. Together, the group will present A Journey Through the History of Rock - Sammy Hagar and Friends.

Saturday night also features American 90’s rockers Extreme.

“He’s promising a night of the history of Rock and Roll, so it’ll be interesting to see what he pulls out of his hat,” Rashotte said.

Entertainment - Belleville - The city’s annual Empire Rockfest will have a decidedly younger feel in 2014.

Empire Theatre owner Mark Rashotte announced the lineup for Empire Rockfest this past week, and the three-day July concert will sport some big names spanning several decades of musical history. Rashotte said that while 2013 was dedicated to some of rock’s older acts like Journey and Toto, this year he made a concerted effort to bring in acts that appeal to a younger audience.

“It’s not only a great lineup of acts but it also hits a lot of different demographics,” Rashotte said. “Last year we had a full weekend of eighties music and this year we’re doing a mix of things.”

First, Thursday, July 24, kicks off Rockfest with Huey Lewis and the News with special guests Glass Tiger.

Grammy-winners Huey Lewis and the News found huge success with their number one 1983 album Sports, which spawned four top-ten hits and was certified seven times platinum. Over the years the band has had their music featured in movie hits such as Back to the Future, Ghostbusters and American Psycho, and in all have sold more than 30 million records worldwide.

Sharing the stage with Huey Lewis and the News on Thursday will be Canadian rockers Glass Tiger. The threetime Juno winners shot to fame in 1986 with their debut album The Thin Red Line before taking a ten-year break and returning to performing in 2003.

“The pop-rock rhythm and blues icon [Huey Lewis] has had 19 top-ten Billboard hits … it’s just crazy what he’s done,” Rashotte said.

FARMING On the Farm Safety

Machinery There are many different forms of machinery on a farm to help keep it working efficiently. These items can pose serious safety risks. Although tractors are the type of farm equipment that causes the most injuries, some adults still think it is safe to allow children to ride along.

Injuries that may result from farm machinery include pinching of clothing or parts of the body, where a person may become trapped in the gears or components of equipment; cuts from equipment that shears crops; bruising or cuts from projectiles thrown by mowers or other field equipment; and crushing or trapping injuries from machinery that falls or tips over.

News – Campbellford – Hillcrest Public School students “really did have a blast” at their winter carnival last week but the fun and games were more than just having a good time, says principal Connie Hodson.

They “loved being part” of the 20 teams made up of students drawn from each classroom, and helping each other.

Safety should always be a priority on farm.

“They were excited, (and so were) the teachers,” Hodson said.

The activities were about “making a community” which is “the best anti-bullying strategy there is,” she said. “The little kids connect with the big kids so if they ever have an issue or problem or concern they know who to go to, and they’re not afraid of them. They see somebody who can help.”

Hodson said bullies don’t have “the skills to get what it is they need or want, so they use an inappropriate strategy. So if we teach them communication and connections they no longer need to use their bullying strategies to get what they want.”

Grade 8 students led the activities and Grade 7 students served as team captains or leaders.

medical purposes, Trent Hills News – Trent Hills – With new fed- is getting inquiries about zoneral regulations to take effect next month ing for facilities to grow the governing access to marijuana used for plant legally.

In a report to council, director of planning Jim Peters said he had received two “serious inquiries� regarding the establishment of such facilities on land zoned rural on the 7th Line north of Campbellford and on highway commercial property in the village of Warkworth. “Information from one of the proponents indicated that a substantial investment is required for heating and other systems,� he stated. “They indicated the facility would be approximately 10,000 square feet in size and employ 10 to 12 persons.�

Peters told council March 4 he had received a third inquiry since writing the report, which stated medical marijuana can be grown in a building designed or renovated for the growing of plants, such as a commercial greenhouse, where flowers, fruits, vegetables, trees and similar vegetation can be grown.

In his opinion a medical marijuana facility fits this definition and that such use is permitted in five zones.

Peters said he wrote the report to make council aware of the proposals.

department their intention to apply to Health Canada, “so that local authorities are aware of their proposed location and activities.�

Municipalities can’t stop the licensing process “if they disagree with the proposed site of production or any other requirement� but they “can communicate any concerns� they have directly to the production site owner and enforce local legislation and bylaws.

Health Canada said it will not provide a municipality with a list of production sites that are licensed under the new Medical Marijuana Access regulations as the information is protected under the Privacy Act. Such facilities are not to be operated as a storefront but must ship their dried product directly to clients or their physicians. “Production sites can only be located indoors, such as a greenhouse if it meets the requirements set under the new Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, including for physical security. “I don’t know that it will create more work for us, (but) there are some public safety concerns,� Northumberland OPP detachment commander Inspector Doug Borton said Monday.

The new regulatory environment offers “the potential� for a licensed producer to “over-produce crops� and then engage in trafficking.

If that were to happen and police got involved, they would “deal with it in the proper manner,� but officers have expressed concerns about being exposed to health and fire hazards, where marijuana is grown in a residence and there’s mold and chemicals present, and extensive lighting system in use.

Another issue are the “security risks� associated with licensed sites, which could be “targeted for thefts,� Borton said.

Peters in his report said licensed production must take place inside a building where conditions are controlled “in terms of light, water, temperature, humidity and nutrients ...

Construction or renovation of a building would be subject to the Building Code.�

Symtoms: The early warning

signs of Alzheimer’s disease neurons gradually begin to lose their efficiency and ability to function and communicate with one another. As more neurons die, entire areas of the brain shrink. The hippocampus, which is the area of the brain essential in forming memories, may soon become compromised.

Millions of people in North America are estimated to have Alzheimer’s disease and many others will be diagnosed. The following are the most common early signs and symptoms of the disease. • Memory loss: According to the Alzheimer’s Organization, early memory loss can include forgetting important dates or repeatedly asking for the same information. Forgetting recently learned information and having to rely increasingly on memory aids is another potential indicator of Alzheimer’s. • Declining cognition: Impaired reasoning or judgment, trouble finding the right words and visual and spatial

issues also may be early indicators of Alzheimer’s. • Difficulty completing familiar tasks: Those with Alzheimer’s sometimes have trouble driving to a familiar location or remembering the rules to a favorite game. People who were once good with numbers may now have difficulty balancing their checkbooks, while those who love to cook may have trouble following recipes. • Time confusion: Another indicator of Alzheimer’s disease is losing track of time. One may have trouble understanding something that isn’t happening in the present. Alzheimer’s sufferers often forget where they are and how they got there. • Misplacing items: Everyone loses something at a point in time, but those with Alzheimer’s may put items in unusual places. They may sometimes accuse others of stealing when they cannot retrace their steps and find items. • Decreased judgment: Decision-mak-

Alzheimer’s doubles about every five years after age 65, says the Alzheimer’s Organization. In addition, those with a parent, child or sibling who have developed Alzheimer’s are more likely to develop the disease than people with no such family history.

A physical and neurological exam, which may include blood tests and brain imaging, will be used to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. Individuals can learn more by making appointments with their doctors.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. It is a progressive, degenerative disorder that attacks neurons and essentially robs people of their memory and language skills. Although there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, there are therapies that can slow its neurological impact.

Recognizing the early warning signs of Alzheimer’s can encourage people to begin treatments that can stave off some of the more debilitating symptoms of this disease.

Though it’s most common among the elderly, Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging. The Mayo Clinic says that the reasons behind the inception and progression of Alzheimer’s disease are largely unknown. It is believed damage starts a decade or more before problems become evident. Abnormal deposits of proteins begin to form the amyloid plaques and tau tangles throughout the brain, and these formations are the hallmarks of the disease. Once-healthy

Speaking at the World Day of Prayer News – Campbellford – Life isn’t easy for Christians living ecumenical service held at Campbellford in Egypt, says a Christian who was born and raised there before Baptist Church March 7, Ehab Fanous said he still keeps “an eye on everything moving to Canada 24 years ago. that goes on in Egypt” and while he is encouraged by some of the changes takRuth Nelson and Theresa Miller portrayed Egyptians as part of the World Day of ing place in his former home, he advised Prayer ecumenical service held March 7 at Campbellford Baptist Church.

He described the many hardships Christians have to endure in a country where Islam rules. Centuries ago it was Christianity that was predominant but today just 10 per cent of Egypt’s 84 million people are followers of Christ, belonging to the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, the largest Christian church in the Middle East.

Growing up, he would hear every day over loudspeakers attached to mosques imans “talking about Christians going to hell,” he said. “We were always worried that someone was going to bomb the church (he attended).”

The danger remains real. Last year ^ 83 Christian churches were burned in Egypt over a six-month period, Fanous said. † “If you go to church and you think there’s a chance the church is going to be blown up or somebody is going to walk in with a machine gun and kill everybody, it’s very difficult (to practise your religion).”

“What we are praying for today is a new Egypt (with) new freedoms,” he said.

News – Campbellford - Community Living Campbellford/Brighton was the recent recipient of two $500 grants donated through the RBC Employee Volunteer Grant Program.

This program recognizes employees and retirees for the good work they do in their personal time, by volunteering in their communities. Employees and retirees who donate more than 40 hours per year to a charitable organization can apply for a grant of up to $500 for their organization.

As long-term employees of RBC, Elizabeth Park and Marlene Mood became well-known and respected in their communities for being responsible corporate citizens. Their ongoing contributions and support of several programs and community initiatives served to grow their stature in the community, and although both women are now retired, their dedication and sense of community and philanthropy have not.

Community Living noted in a news release that the pair, whose spouses, Chris Park and John Mood, are members of its board of directors, provide a great deal of support for the organization. Whether it’s contributing to official functions or assisting with fundraising events such as the annual Christmas Food and Toy Drive, they can be relied on to give help, Community Living said in a news release.

“Elizabeth and Marlene continue to dedicate countless hours of steadfast, ‘behind-the-scenes’ support to this organization,” it stated.

The two grants will go to the organization’s Outcomes Sponsorship Fund, which provides persons with an intellectual disability financial assistance to achieve their personal outcomes and to realize their life goals and dreams. For

Personal Distress Alarms loan program expands into Trent Hills

By Sue Dickens

News – Campbellford - The Personal Distress Alarms (PDA) loan program is now available in Trent Hills for the first time.

“We received funding to purchase 50 additional PDA units through a provincial government investment in small, rural and northern hospitals,” said Trish Baird, executive director of Community Care Northumberland (CCN). “This partnership with our local hospitals will help keep people safe in their own homes.”

A personal distress alarm is a small portable transmitter that is worn as a pendant or wristband; combined with a small table top unit, it provides clients with 24-hour support. In case of emergency or distress, the client pushes a button on the PDA that sends a signal to the monitoring station, where trained operators immediately dispatch help. Until now the service had been limited to residents in Cobourg and Port Hope.

The expansion will allow Community Care Northumberland to loan units to residents throughout Northumberland County.

Fifteen of the 50 additional PDAs are available through Community Care’s Campbellford office.

PDAs will also be loaned out through CCN’s offices in Colborne and Brighton. CCN program coordinator Natisha Debutte, who works out of Campbellford, said there was a waiting list for the PDAs in Cobourg.

Baird said clients are advised to always wear their pendants, even when bathing, as the units are sealed to be waterproof.

“Once the button is pressed, the monitoring station will receive a call for help and an operator will call the client’s home phone. If they are able to answer their phone, the operator immediately calls the client’s contact people to quickly send someone to their aid.”

The units were purchased through Trent Security Systems of Peterborough which provides the monitoring service. The cost to clients is a one-time installation fee of $45 and a $15 monthly fee for monitoring.

The client saves the $325 cost of purchasing the unit thanks to CCN’s loan program. “Our agency has experienced a high demand for this loaning program as more seniors and adults with disabilities wish to remain in their own homes longer,” Baird commented. “It also makes their family members happy to know that help can be dispatched quickly for their loved ones 24 hours a day.”

For more information about the PDA loan program call the local Community Care Northumberland office: Brighton, 613-4754190; Campbellford, 705-653-1411; Cobourg, 905-372-7356; Colborne, 905-355-2989; Hastings, 705-696-3891, and; Port Hope 905885-9860. Or visit www.commcare.ca

Community Care Northumberland recently received funding to expand its Personal Distress Alarms Loan Program, throughout the county, including Trent Hills. Natisha Debutte, program coordinator with Community Care’s Campbellford office, on the left, and volunteer Judy Mallory demonstrate how the PDA functions, using either a wristband or a pendant.

was found in a garage with her four one-week old kittens. Her kittens have been adopted and she is now ready to find her forever home where she can learn the love of her very own human.

Isis is a bit shy at first but warms up quickly and likes to sit on your lap and be petted.

Isis gets along well with other cats and tolerates the dog in her foster home. She is pretty laid back and low maintenance. She is a very tiny girl weighing under 5 pounds.

Isis loves to play and enjoys looking out the window at the birds. This beautiful little lady has a gorgeous silky coat with swirls and circles. Isis really wants her very own family where she can be the goddess she is named for.

28th Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival

By Sue Dickens

News – Warkworth – There was a steady flow of people to the 28th Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival last weekend even though the same couldn’t be said for this year’s sap harvest.

A harsh winter that began with an ice storm in December followed by a string of snowstorms and a polar vortex that dropped into Ontario, week after week, has resulted in a later-than-normal start to the season.

“I don’t know if it’s the snowfall as much as the temperatures. It’s still very cold,” said Derek vanStam, the new owner of Sandy Flat Sugar Bush, where the festival has been a tradition for the past quarter century.

“The sap run has stopped for the last couple of weeks. Minus nighttime temperatures and warm days are what is needed,” he explained.

Former sugar bush owners Alice and George Potter were there to help vanStam and his wife Angela, from Frankford as they and their three children immersed themselves in the festival and greeted hundreds of visitors.

Friends and relatives of the vanStam family were also there to help.

For Darcy Arthur, of Brighton, her husband Todd and their children Julia, 8, and Clark, 5, taking in the festival has become a tradition for their family.

“We’ve been coming here for the past eight years,” she told the Independent.

“The kids love the sleigh rides through the forest, the snow taffy and the food,” she said.

For the Warkworth Community Service Club it was again time for their annual fundraising pancake and sausage breakfast. Approximately 3,000 tickets were sold and all the money raised goes back to the community.

Hanford Dougherty, who manned the evaporator, explained the process of converting sap into syrup as people toured the sugar shack.

Simon Weight and his son Jules, 18 months, decided to get a closer look at the Belgian draft horses which pulled a sleigh through the sugar bush at the maple syrup festival. Photo: Sue Dickens

“This is my 29th season here,” he said, noting this year’s sap harvest was off to a late start.

“We had a bit of a run approximately a week or two ago . . . the right temperatures at the right time are crucial to success,” he said.

“The only fear is the later in the season it gets, once it milds up, it might stay mild and then our season will be short.”

In spite of the challenges the weather has presented the festival itself was a huge success.

“The maple syrup festival is a wonderful experience,” Angela vanStam said. “It’s really a grassroots event where people can come and bring their families and have pancakes and really celebrate spring.”

Downtown Warkworth was also

busy with The Paddling Puppeteer show, Festival Craft Show and Sale, indoor mini-golf, juried art and photography show and sale, and the Antiques Nostalgia Show and Sale. There was also a petting zoo.

Sleigh rides through the sugar bush gave folks who visited the Sandy Flat Sugar Bush during last weekend’s maple syrup festival the chance to learn more about where the delicious sweet syrup comes from.

Be a Natural Gardener, not a Zookeeper

News - Belleville - On March 27 in Belleville, Terry Sprague and Bea Heissler will give a fresh perspective to residents about naturalizing their properties. Bea can show us how to have a natural garden. Terry can help us keep the wildlife population in balance. You want good relations with your neighbours, but you don’t want them to move in.

This is the fifth event in the Winter Speaker Series for the Hastings Stewardship Council.

Terry Sprague, well known as a local naturalist and trail guide, will enlighten us about plants we can use to attract wildlife. The presence of wildlife makes our efforts in naturalizing our backyards complete. But, what happens when you attract too much of a good thing? Terry will explain how to manage and control backyard

She will discuss the use of native plants for many different kinds of areas, the importance of biodiversity, and the nature of nutrient and water cycles. Bea can explain how to achieve low-maintenance gardens that can sustain themselves even in extreme weather conditions. Maintaining corridors for wildlife is also an essential

part of every gardening and backyard plan.

TRAVEL

A visit to Delft, in the Netherlands of the Netherlands, between for its production of world-renowned Lifestyles - Delft is a rather Rotterdam and the Hague, blue and white delftware pottery. After small city in the southwest and it’s probably best known all, the Royal Dutch Delftware Factory, Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles, was established here in 1653, and it’s still going strong today. Its products are still handpainted right here on site, following centuries-old traditions.

COACH & TOURS I toured this fascinating factory with Safiya Yilmaz, of its Marketing and Communications Department, and she gave me a lot of pertinent information about both the history of the Royal Delft and the production process. I learned that the products are fired twice, for the mould is fired and painted black, and then glazed and fired again, turning it blue. I was also told that each “work of Blue Jays vs Yankees - Saturday, April 5/14 art” is coded with the factory mark, item Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox - Saturday, April 26/14 number, artist’s initials, and a date code, Toronto Premium Outlets - Saturday, April 26/14 and a certificate of authenticity is inOttawa Tulips - Tuesday, May 13/14 cluded with all orders. Therefore, these St. Jacobs - Saturday, May 24/14 products are not cheap but are “the real Berkshire Cottages - May 27-30/14 thing.”

Lancaster PA Amish Country - June 4-7/14 I witnessed the various steps of this Lion King - Wednesday, June 11/14 manufacturing process, including the Waterloo Outlets/Syracuse Shopping - June 13-15/14 preparation of the mould and the douDaniel O’Donnell - Sunday, June 15/14 ble firings, and I also watched a master Cape Cod/Martha’s Vineyard - June 16-20/14 painter at work. I learned that it took Atlantic Canada - July 1-10/14 a minimum of ten years to become a Western & Northern Ontario - July 7-10/14 master painter, and that the intricate Newfoundland Spectacular - July 17-Aug 4/14 hand-painting itself is quite an art!

are provided, but the workshop must be booked in advance <www.royaldelft. com>.

A tour of this facility will both trace the history of this pottery and offer hands-on opportunities, so it’s both a museum and an attraction. The factory’s showroom has a comprehensive collection of hand-painted Delft Blue by Royal Delft and an extensive selection of Dutch earthenware and souvenirs, so it’s a great place to not only learn, firsthand, about the product, but also is the perfect place to purchase some of the Royal Delft.

To learn even more about delftware, I’d recommend a visit to the city’s Prinsenhof Museum, for here you’ll find additional history about this pottery, and you’ll learn that, in the mid 18th century, there were more than 30 factories producing this product in Delft. However, only the one factory now remains.

I also discovered that the Prinsenhof Museum, located in an old convent, is the actual site of the assassination of William of Orange (William I) in 1584, and this museum also depicts the story of this historically important figure and national hero who’s referred to as “the founding father of the Netherlands.”

William of Orange is buried in Delft’s New Church (built between 1383 and 1510), as are all deceased members of the Royal Family. Therefore, Delft has a special bond with the Dutch Royal Family, as well as with Johannes Vermeer, the renowned painter who resided here in the 17th century and who is buried in Delft’s oldest church, Oude Kerk. His works of art are displayed in the Vermeer Centre, so this is yet another not-to-bemissed attraction in Delft. While here, I examined such Vermeer masterpieces as “The Girl with a Pearl Earring” and “Woman with a Pearl Necklace.”

While exploring Delft, I stayed in a 17th century canal house that’s now known as the Bridges House Hotel. It was conveniently located near the city centre, so it was close to the major attractions, including the two churches previously mentioned, the magnificent marketplace with its grand City Hall, and the Eastern Gate (the only remaining gate of the old city walls). Bridges House Hotel actually became a part of my “adventure trek,” for there was no elevator here, so I had to ascend the nar-

row, steep staircases to the top (third) floor with my luggage!

This proved to be a bit of a challenge, but it was an interesting place to stay (the former residence of Dutch painter Jan Steen).

With the earlier references to such “celebrities” as Jan Steen, Johannes Vermeer, and William of Orange, it’s obvious that the city of Delft has much more going for it than simply its renowned delftware factory, but any visit to this city will keep reminding you of this connection, too. For example, when I visited the Prinsenhof Museum, I noticed a beautiful blue and white delftware-style bench in its gardens, and I even found some delftware-style streetlamps in this city.

A display of plates in the Royal Dutch Delftware Factory.

Right: This shows the three main steps in the process: the mould—and after both firings.

When I had lunch at “Stads-Koffyhuis,” I was even told to check out its artistic washroom complete with its lavish blue and white delftware fixtures!

Implant vantages Ad In past articles, we discussed the negative effects of removable dental prostheses (dentures and partials). In most cases, complete and partial dentures are not the ideal Dr. Brian Ho replacement option of missing teeth because they lead to less chewing efficiency, decreased life span, limited food selection, altered tastes etc..

Fortunately, these negative effects can be avoided with the use of dental implants. Here are the advantages of implant-supported prostheses: • Maintain bone • Maintain Facial Esthetics • Improve chewing efficiency • Reduce the size of prosthesis • Improve the stability and retention of removable prosthesis • No need to alter adjacent teeth • More permanent replacement • Improve psychological health With the use of different financing options, implant supported prostheses can be a very affordable option for most patients. Contact your dentist to learn more about your dental implant options and about how you can benefit from dental implants.

Get your hiking boots ready for Hike for Hospice Quinte News – Belleville – With winter coming to a close and our minds turning to warmer weather, Hospice Quinte has announced the revival of an old fundraising event this coming May and are inviting the public to join them, on the Hike for Hospice Quinte.

“We’re doing it on a larger scale this year to attract more hikers and more donors and create more awareness,” said Hospice Quinte Community Relations & Fund Development officer Wayne Carruthers.

Taking place on May 4, Hike for Hospice Quinte is a one-day fundraising event that challenges participants to raise funds for their local hospice while enjoying the sunshine and (hopefully) great weather at West Zwick’s Park. Carruthers said that they’ve set a fundraising goal of $20,000 for the event, and said he hopes to attract at least 250 hikers and volunteers from Belleville and Quinte West. Funds raised from the event help support the general operation of Hospice Quinte and the variety of community services they offer free of charge.

“The other big reason that we’re doing this, is because it’s fun,” Carruthers said. “It’s a family event that includes everyone, no matter what your ability is to walk, or shuffle, or run - it brings everyone together for one day.”

Those participating in the event can look forward to a morning chalk-full of activities and two different distances - a 2-km leisure walk and a more taxing 5-km walk. The event will also feature a children’s

area with staples such as a bouncy castle and face painting, and those in attendance will also be treated to a barbeque after the walk is completed.

“We want it to be a family event,” Carruthers said. “It’s going to be the fun side of the work we do in the community every day that is oftentimes very difficult.”

The Regional Hospice of Quinte assists terminally ill individuals and their caregivers by offering them support and companionship in both individual and group settings. Carruthers said a new program

by Hospice Quinte called What About Me works with children aged 12 and under living in homes with terminally ill family members, to offer support (From left) Jen Webster, Alison King Horn, Amber Clarke, Kasey Pollard, Luke Fornier, Ben Van Derkooi and Helen Dowdall and teach coping mechanisms. Children are also put helped kick off Hike for Hospice Quinte last week. Photo: submitted into contact with other children of a similar age.

“They share their stories and their art and they share what they’re going through,” Carruthers said.

“It’s a common ground for them - and they wouldn’t get that anywhere else.”

Like all Hospice Quinte programs, What About Me is offered free of charge. Carruthers said the organization was the beneficiary of more than 13,000 hours of volunteer work in 2012-2013, when the organization assisted some 280 families.

“If you were to put a dollar amount on those 13,000 hours, you couldn’t,” he said.

To register online for the Hike for Hospice, visit www.chpca.net/hike, or to register in person, pick up a pledge form from the Hospice Centre at 225 Dundas Street East.

Sprouting workshop put on by raw food expert

By Kate Everson

News - Picton - In response to Quinte’s first Seedy Saturday held at Murray Centennial last week, one of the vendors is hoping more people will come to her sprouting workshop in Picton on March 15 at 29 Elizabeth Street at the Community Living Centre.

“This is a very important topic,” says Erika Wolff, health educator and nutrition coach from Milford. “I am trying to reach out to a wider audience.”

Erika says raw food is the healthy choice with many important values.

“Chronic colds and illness, overweight, trouble sleeping and lethargy are just a few of the ailments that can be eliminated or reduced with a raw food diet,” she says.

Erika feels the body is its own healer when treated properly. For years, Erika struggled with her own chronic health and digestive problems that led her to study

nutrition and discover that living foods offer the most effective solution. She acquired not only practical knowledge but intuitive wisdom about the healing powers of raw foods and even became a chef of gourmet raw food dishes.

She also is a certified Hippocrates Health Educator with additional training in nutritional symptomatology and counselling, detoxification and fasting, nutritional kinesiology, and macrobiotics. She regularly holds workshops and retreats about the living foods lifestyle.

“We need to learn to grow more sprouts,” she said with a smile.

Her workshop will help people start sprouting in their own kitchen, and grow fresh greens to eat and get healthy.

“You can plant and take home your own sprout garden,” she adds.

The class is held March 15, from 10 a.m. to noon, with a

Superstar coaching for jazz students Entertainment - Prince Edward County - It’s as if Sidney Crosby and Phil Kessel came to town and spent a whole weekend teaching your kids how to score goals, and then played shinny with them for a couple of hours on the pond.

That’s exactly what’s happening in the county’s blossoming jazz scene in April, thanks to the Prince Edward County Jazz Festival’s TD Canada Trust Jazz Education Program.

For the sixth consecutive year, the festival and TD Canada Trust will host more than 80 student musicians from schools in the Quinte region and beyond for an unrivalled jazz education experience.

The program will bring seven of Canada’s best jazz artists and educators to the Picton area for the weekend of April 11-13. They’ll mentor, perform with, and evaluate student musicians in a relaxed and non-com-

petitive environment. The students will also be treated to a special performance of the University of Toronto Jazz Orchestra.

Music teacher Greg Runions’ band at Napanee District Secondary School, a return participant this year, has students with a wide range of performance experience.

“No matter the student’s background, they all come away with a renewed enthusiasm for music and jazz playing. This program is unique in the depth of its immersion in the music and the hands-on collaboration each student enjoys with the mentoring musicians; this is really not available at any other festival I’ve been to.”

This year’s AAA-list of instructors includes musicians whose combined re-

sumes cover many of the top acts in show business over the last 30 years.

The final “blow”: the students will share the stage with one of Canada’s top jazz orchestras, the Brian Barlow Big Band featuring Justin Bacchus, in a culminating concert at Picton’s Regent Theatre on Sunday, April 13, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $30, or $20 for students or parents. Contact www. theregenttheatre.org or the Regent Theatre Box Office at 613-476-8416.

Participating high school jazz orchestras include Centennial Secondary School Jazz Orchestra (Belleville), Napanee District Secondary School, Nepean All-City Jazz Band and Hamilton Rising Stars Jazz Band.

*We guarantee our everyday competitive prices. If you find a lower everyday or advertised price on an identical stock item at any local retail competitor that has the item in stock, we’ll beat their price by 10% when you buy from us. For competitor percent-off sales, we will match their discounted price. Just bring us confirmation of the price that you have found. Lowe’s reserves the right to verify the lower price prior to sale. Competitor close-out, discontinued, clearance, liquidation, special order, damaged items, delivery, and assembly are excluded from this offer. Limited to reasonable quantities for homeowner and one-house order quantities for cash and carry contractors. Current in-store price,

if lower, overrides Lowe’s advertised price. Price guarantee honoured at all Lowe’s retail locations in Canada. Other conditions apply. Visit store or www.Lowes.ca/priceguarantee for complete details. ‡ Save the Tax Event – Lowe’s will discount the equivalent of Ontario HST (13%) not being included once the HST has been applied. Prices shown do not reflect discount. Government sales tax will be added to your purchase at the register. Example: $100 (item price before HST) - $11.51 (Discount) = $88.49 +13% (HST) = 99.99 (equal or less than item price before HST). Offer valid from Thursday, March 13 through Sunday, March 16.
