Long-term care Holiday skating fun remains “top priority” in HBM By Bill Freeman
Books by the hundreds offered.
EMC News - Havelock It might require a different strategy but getting a shovel in the ground for a longterm-care facility remains the number one priority for Havelock-Belmont-Methuen council. “It is still our top priority,” said Councillor Barry Pomeroy during council’s first meeting of 2013. “We may have to try some different avenues because what we’ve been trying is not working,” Pomeroy said. “We’ve [council and staff] worked hard together but there has to be another way.” The township has had a plan on the books for nearly two years that would facilitate the building of a 128-bed nursing home on an 18-acre property off Old Norwood Road which
has already been zoned for a seniors-related development that could also include a medical centre, assisted living units and geared-toincome seniors apartments. A day-care centre and other “integrated community opportunities” could be accommodated over time. The municipality has been working closely with AON Incorporated on plans for the estimated $13- to $14-million 128-bed twostorey facility which AON would build and operate. Council wants the province to allocate new long-termcare beds or redirect those that were not picked up in a 1999 call so that the H-B-M project can start. It’s a message they’ve steadily and consistently delivered to the provincial government for the past two Please see “Long-term” on page 3

EMC News - Hastings After pondering long and hard about the need to find a new location, the Hastings Roseneath Ministerial Food Bank has finally shifted addresses and will now operate out of a portion of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. The 21-member volunteer organization has utilized a building donated by Our Lady of Mount Carmel Roman Catholic Church for over 20 years but space constraints had become an increasing challenge, says food bank president Brenda Kock. Their first day at the new location was January 1. “We’ve been planning this, looking for a suitable location for some years,” Kock told the Northwest EMC as volunteers trans-

ported material and supplies from the OLMC “coach house” around the corner to St. Andrew’s. The food bank will continue to run its Christmas hamper program from OLMC and will use the Victoria Street building for some additional storage needs. “It was the right time to approach St. Andrew’s to see if they would take us on,” said Kock, a food bank volunteer for 15 years and president for 12 years. “The people are right on board with this at the church to have us here.” The organization’s relationship with Our Lady of Mount Carmel was good and fruitful, she says. “It’s been a very good arrangement [and] we’re still going to use that building Please see “Food bank” on page 3

Long-term care remains “top priority” in HBM

years. The lack of positive news has been a frustration to council and staff but optimism has not been drained away. “Your comments are bang on,” Mayor Ron Gerow said. “Yes, we’ve gone down a number of avenues in the last two years.” “The need has gotten greater,” Gerow said citing a recent provincial auditor’s report that highlighted the significant number of seniors in need of alternative levels of care who remain in hospital beds rather than finding appropriate places in long-term-care facilities. That reality, says Gerow is “causing hardship for them, their families and others.” Peterborough County has the oldest population in Ontario with a lengthy list of seniors (nearly 900) waiting for long-term-care beds. On any given day there are 130-150 in Peterborough Regional Health Care Centre waiting for LTC beds. “It is time to knock on some other doors to up the ante,” says Gerow. “We’ve all been very dedicated to this project but I still feel very positive about it. I still feel it will happen but we may have to make some other tool boxes and [use] some other tools to make it happen.” What is planned in HBM is “part and parcel” of the government’s “aging at home strategy,” says Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal. Leal has been a strong advocate for the HBM project. “We want to identify the exact need [of] longterm-care beds and look at other ways to provide services to seniors in their homes which is always the first choice,” Leal said in an earlier interview at the reopening of the HBM medical centre.

head [that] I’ll approach the Presbyterian Church,” Kock recalled. “It has worked out very well. We’re so pleased. We have been looking into it for four or five years but not aggressively.” Kock realized that church space is underutilized in Hastings but also explored the Hastings Arena as an option. “This is a very appropriate environment,” she said noting its proximity to the
Civic Centre. “It’s a wonderful way to start 2013; we’re thrilled, the volunteers are thrilled. I feel clients will benefit immensely. It will be more efficient with more people served in a shorter period of time.” At the Catholic Church there was room for just three people inside at once with two volunteers “hardpressed” to serve client’s needs.
At St. Andrew’s there’s room for three volunteers and space for clients to meet with social worker contacts and other support workers. Volunteers will also be able to serve coffee and tea. The Hastings Roseneath food bank assists an average of 43 families comprising 125 people each month and is open Tuesdays (1 to 2:30 p.m.) and Wednesdays (6:30 to 8 p.m.). It is closed the last week of the month.

for storage a little bit until they need it.” The food bank was founded in 1990, operating out of the Hastings Community Care office downtown, then from Trinity United Church before moving to OLMC where the space was donated. The food bank has struck a rental agreement with St. Andrew’s that Kock says will be beneficial to the church. “It’s serving everybody’s needs,” Kock says. “There was just not enough space and we want to serve clients better,” she said noting that clients were sometimes lined up two or three hours in “all weather” at OLMC. “That is a big issue and an embarrassing point really. This should have happened 20 years ago but the churches weren’t in a position then to give up any space.” The well-attended Moroccan Night gala, the food bank’s first-ever fund raiser, provided the organization with the “seed money” to help them to take on rental costs. “It all came together in my

Freeman By Bill Freeman
EMC News - Hastings There was a good college football bowl game on the big screen TV and plenty of camaraderie at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 106 in Hastings as Branch president Bob Crate greeted well-wishers during the traditional New Year’s Day Levee. It was a good day for Crate to reflect on 2012 and to look optimistically ahead at efforts to sustain the successes Branch 106 achieved the previous year. “We’re in a sort of a flux situation [and] we’re trying to build some momentum,�
said Crate, who also wears the hat of Trent Hills deputy-mayor. “We’re in very good shape and we had some very good functions in 2013. Ribfest was a total success and we’ll have another one in 2013.� Branch 106 was in the forefront with events like the region-wide Drumhead service, the final voting countdown for the World Fishing Network’s Ultimate Fishing Town Canada competition and the sold-out ribfest and street dance celebration that marked Hastings’ fishing town title. “This past year we probably spent four or five
hours just running wires to power everywhere,� Crate said. “This year we’re going to have power everywhere we need it. It’s just a matter of getting that done� That goal is courtesy of the branch’s oldest member, 90-year-old Albert Nelson, who took Crate aside one day and said he would donate the material. “We can do it relatively inexpensively and that will put us in a position to do a few more functions, “Crate said. “It’s good for the branch, good for the village and it brings people to town and that’s what we’re striving to do.�

to know we are probably the place you go in town if you need help or if you want to do a fund raiser or a dance.� With upward of 425 members, Crate says the numbers are healthy. “It takes some work and we have some new people who are willing to work. You want somebody to come along with a few new ideas and we’re getting that.� “I’m confident we’re doing fine and that there will be people who get involved.�
Boosting township’s volunteer base critical
By Bill Freeman
EMC News - Havelock Boosting the township’s volunteer base is critical, says Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Councillor Jim Martin. It’s so critical for Martin that he thinks it should be considered a municipal priority heading into 2013 and beyond. “Our volunteer base is disappearing so badly,� Martin said during the township’s first council meet of the year. “Volunteers are so important, that’s what makes our community.� The township’s inaugural stand-alone recognition night was an unqualified success, he said, and underscored the importance of the volunteer sector to the municipality. Projects like the Gareth Wilson’s much-talked-about
recreational dome proposal will not take off without significant involvement from volunteers, Martin said. “We [the municipality] can’t afford to do something like that ourselves. If there’s interest out there and something comes forward who knows what will happen.� Martin says the Havelock Figure Skating Club and Havelock and District Chamber of Commerce are two examples of groups “struggling� with membership issues right now. “This year you almost need to have a group specifically to work on volunteer [recruitment],� he said. He says this is what other communities have done as they take on projects. Referring again to the recreational dome Martin says it’s something that won’t

never been to the branch before and “didn’t know they can come here as a guest. “These are all things we’re trying to overcome.� High profile public events like Ribfest, where Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan presided over the barbeque like a champion iron chef, and the street dance featuring recording artist Aiden McGill, draw people into the branch and the heart of the village, says Crate. “It is a community hub and I think that’s what we’re trying to build. It takes time. We need people
materialize on its own but needs grassroots support. “It’s not going to happen unless we get a group to help put a plan together. This year something has to happen. These are the things we need to have to keep our community what it is.� Mayor Ron Gerow agreed with Martin on the critical state of volunteerism in the township. Every municipality is experiencing the same problem, he stressed. “Sometimes it just takes a matter of public interest to spark something. When people see a positive reaction then other things come together. Maybe it is the dome.� A project like the dome would not be municipally driven, Gerow added, but council would certainly be involved. “I have a lot of people asking about it [the dome],� Deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe noted. “I’m not sure how we consider moving that forward. It’s one of those things that just came out of the blue and piqued some interest.� Sharpe would like councillors to spend some time thinking about the dome proposal “to see where that might or might not go.�

Councillors liable for the safety of municipal drinking water
By Sue Dickens
EMC News - Trent Hills A $4-million fine and up to five years in jail: that is the maximum penalty under the Safe Water Drinking Act’s (SDWA) Section 19 which came into effect January 1, 2013. This section extends legal responsibility to people with decision-making authority over municipal drinking water systems, potentially including (but not limited to) members of municipal councils. The Trent Hills’ council has prepared for this latest addition to the act which had been created in 2002 in response to the tragedy that struck when Walkerton’s drinking water system became contaminated with deadly bacteria, primarily Escherichia coli, in which seven people died, and more than 2,300 became ill. All of council has attended a one-day training session relevant to the new legislation for safe drinking water which now makes them liable, providing a higher degree of public accountability. “It is heavy handed but because of what happened at Walkerton I think it is needed. People need to be reassured that their drinking water is safe,” said Mayor Hector Macmillan. “In the past where council has not dealt with something because it was considered to be too expensive, that no longer applies. “You can be rest assured that the drinking water in Trent Hills is safe,” he
added. “Walkerton was the perfect storm,” said Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan. “Personally I think it’s [Section 19] great, you can’t hide behind [the words] I am not a water technician, a water expert. You’ve got to have enough knowledge to know what’s happening in that plant, how staff are operating it and if there are needs there that we need to be responsible for to look after the water for the public. “Section 19 is going to make all those who have oversight responsibility … make them be more aware and educate themselves and do their due diligence,” she added. Deputy-reeve Bob Crate agrees. “It’s scary … but I am not concerned here. At our last report card we got 100 per cent at all three water stations. That’s part of the reason for some of our debt, we had to make sure everything is right with our water and sewers,” he said. For Scott White, general manager of infrastructure renewal and public works administration, protection of Trent Hills’ water is an everyday part of his life, right down to the backup systems and protocols in place. “There’s pretty much two of everything. You can shut down half the plant and pretty much function,” he said as he took EMC on a tour of the facility in Campbellford where high tech software is up and

running, monitoring all three stations (Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth) second by nano-second. From its source water, the Trent River, to the 1.5 million gallon capacity water tower, the system is monitored 24/7,
not just by computers but by staff. Upgrades mean the system, such as the one in Campbellford which was built at the turn of the century, meets all the required standards. “Walkerton happened be-
cause of complacency,” said White as he keeps his eye on meter readings nearby. Water testing daily, weekly, quarterly and annually is the norm. “If we have an operation problem where we think
we’ve compromised the water we immediately contact the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Health [and Long-term Care]. They have to be notified and that’s law,” he said. “There are lots of alarms in place. If anything critical happens it shuts the plant down,” he added. “It’s all about due diligence,” he said, as he returned to a job he has been doing with dedication and oversight even before the legislation was put in place.

EMC News - Hastings With shortbread goodies, refreshments and a free book the Friends of the Hastings Public Library said thank-you to local residents who support the bustling and well-used facility at the Hastings Civic Centre. It also marked the end of the library’s eventful fiftieth anniversary year. “I think we’re super-lucky to have a library of this calibre in town. I really think this is an important spot in Hastings,” Friends member Katherine Surrey told the Northwest EMC during the informal end-of-year dropin that encouraged visitors to
take home a free book from the library’s ongoing used book sale shelf. “It’s a give back to the community, a free book, some goodies and our best wishes,” Surrey said. “Hopefully it will encourage people to come back.” While the Friends of the Hastings Library is a fundraising group, it does much more than that as a volunteer group promoting the library and its myriad programs. Last year the group assisted in a free e-reader workshop to help people become more familiar with the new technology which the library facilitates both online and at the

She would like to expand a newly started collection of French books for children and to add to the library’s impressive and “well-used” large print inventory. Statistics show a steady growth in e-book use at the branch. “They are being used more [and have] increased pretty well every month,” Coughlan says. Users can download eBook titles from home using the library’s web site. With another Christmas shopping season with pricechopped e-readers for sale, Coughlan expects the growth will continue. Another workshop might be in order, she adds. The library already hosts a local genealogical group and provides ancestry resources, software and magazines, for patrons. “Trent Hills has wonderful libraries and we’re very proud of Hastings’ resources,” says Higgs.

branch. “The Friends act as a sort of go-between between the library and its patrons,” says member Joyce Higgs. “We try to publicize and promote the things that go on at the library beyond the incredible selection of books. “With something like this open house we can reach out into the community. For somebody who might not have been here before it’s a very nice way to be introduced to it. The library’s a resource and it’s always a very welcoming place and a lot of people are taking advantage of it.” “We’re happy to [raise funds] because we love our library,” Surrey adds. There are things the library’s budget doesn’t cover and Surrey says the Friends can step in as they did in providing some custom-made shelves for DVDs and a fireplace for its reading nook. “The library is a meeting place [and] isn’t marvelous that we have a spot where we can go? It is a community hub.” “The Friends are the most supportive group I could imagine,” librarian Shirley Coughlan says. “They’re wonderful for the library and not just their funding of things but their ongoing

The Russian solution
Gwynne Dyer
EMC Editorial - It’s as if Paul Newman and Jane Fonda had fled the U.S. in protest at something or other (they were always protesting) and sought Russian citizenship instead. Americans would be surprised, but would they really care? It’s a free
country, as they say. Whereas the French are quite cross about the decision of Oscar-winning actor Gerard Depardieu, who received Russian citizenship at the hands of President Vladimir Putin personally last Saturday. A taxi driver in Paris went on at me about it for the whole ride yesterday. (Talking to taxi drivers is how we journalists keep our fingers on the pulse of the nation.) After 42 years of starring in French films, Depardieu had acquired the status of “national treasure” in the eyes of the public, but he clearly does not reciprocate their loyalty and pride. And hard on the heels of Depardieu’s defection comes the news that actress Brigitte Bardot, France’s leading sex symbol for the generation who are now drawing their pensions, is also threatening to give up her French citizenship and go Russian. Depardieu, who was described by director Marguerite Duras as “a big, beautiful runaway truck of a man,” is much larger than life—about the size of a baby whale, in fact. He is over the top in every sense: 180 films and TV credits, 17 motorbike accidents, five or six bottles of wine a day by his own reckoning. He reckons he has paid 145 million euros ($190 million) in taxes since he started work at fourteen, and he doesn’t want to pay any more. France’s Socialist government is bringing in a new 75 per cent tax rate for people earning more than one million euros ($1.3 million) per year, and so Depardieu is leaving. Initially he was just moving to Belgium, to a village 800 metres from the French border that already hosts a number of other super-rich tax exiles, but then French Prime Minister JeanMarc Ayrault said that his decision was “shabby and unpatriotic.” At this point, the truck ran away again. Belgium was no longer far enough. When the outraged actor declared that he would ask for Russian citizenship, Putin (who knows how to play to the gallery) announced that he could have it at once. By the weekend it was a done deal. “I adore your country, Russia, your people, your history, your writers,” the
actor burbled. “… Russia is a country of great democracy.” It is also a country with a 13 per cent flat tax rate, and Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin crowed on Twitter: “In the West, they are not well acquainted with our tax system. When they find out, we can expect a mass migration of rich Europeans into Russia.” He had barely finished tweeting when another French celebrity said she was also thinking of moving to Russia. It wasn’t high taxes that obsessed Brigitte Bardot, however; it was animal rights. She was protesting a court order Friday in Lyon ordering that two circus elephants that have been suffering from tuberculosis since 2010 be put down. “If those in power are cowardly and impudent enough to kill the elephants,” she raged, “then I will ask for Russian nationality to get out of this country which has become nothing more than an animal cemetery.” It’s always wise, when threatening to flounce out, to make sure first that they really want you to stay, and in BB’s case that may not actually be the case. She is better known to the present generation not as a sex symbol but as a crazy old lady who believes Muslims are “destroying our country” and has been convicted five times for incitement to racial hatred. Some people (including my cab driver) think the Russians would be welcome to her. But elephants aside, going Russian opens up a huge new opportunity for avoiding burdensome taxation. All those American millionaires who have been condemned by recent events to live under the rule of that foreign-born Muslim Communist Barack Obama, and pay an appalling 39.6 per cent tax on the portion of their annual earnings that exceeds $400,000, have an alternative at last. They can do exactly what they have been telling anybody who complains about the gulf between the rich and the poor in America to do for decades: they can go to Russia. The only problem is that they will actually have to live there for six months of the year to qualify for the 13 per cent Russian tax rate. Well, actually, there is another problem. Some Russians may not welcome them with open arms. Even the arrival of Depardieu, who is world-famous in Russia as a result of acting in several high-profile Franco-Russian co-productions and appearing in television ads for credit cards from the Sovietski Bank, is being greeted with mixed feelings. Fellow celebrity Tina Kandelaki, the celebrated host of the celebrity talk show Details for the past eleven years, has no reservations about him at all: he can stay in her apartment. “Let’s not divide up Depardieu,” she tweeted. “Simply give him to me.” But a less starryeyed observer replied: “Haven’t we got enough alcoholics?” Evidently not.

Mr. Whittaker would like a “Canadian” mining company to pay $25/$30 per hour to Canadians only. Clearly who owns the company is a concern to Mr. Whittaker. Is Mr. Whittaker concerned about who built Maple Leaf Gardens? Is he concerned about who built the CNR? Is he concerned about who built Toronto?

Does anyone care anymore? By Terry Bush
EMC Editorial - It’s well past the time for New Year’s resolutions so call this what you will. I resolve to watch only one NHL game this season on a night when there is absolutely nothing else on television. After all, what’s the point? The only reason I’d tune in to even one game is to see just how pitiful the 2013, formerly called the 2012/2013 Leafs, will be. Hockey for most Canadians is a game that is played in the winter. As children, we anxiously await the first frost of the season because that leaves no doubt in anyone’s mind that winter is on its way. In our area, the ice goes into our arenas in September or the first of October often depending on when the annual agricultural fair takes place. Hockey season starts in October and for most everyone, is finished by the second week of April, as it should be. There’s a myriad of other fun things to do outside when the snow melts away. It’s really too bad Gary Bettman and the other Americans who now run the NHL can’t grasp the simplicity of this premise. And now, after months of giving their fans the middle finger, the millionaires and billionaires whose vast wealth comes from the pockets of saps like you and me have come to an agreement. Let the 2013 NHL season begin. It’s not too late they say. We’ll have a season after all, starting the third week of January. Sorry, but that ship has already sailed for many of us. I won’t watch NHL hockey this year because I refuse to sit in front of a television set on June 30 to see how it all turns out. Watching hockey at the end of June, to my mind, is almost as silly as watching football in February. It just ain’t natural. Think about it. A 48-game schedule is no season at all. It might benefit the Leafs because they really start to stink up the joint every year come the second half of the season. Usually they start out well just to let everyone get their hopes up and proclaim, “This is the year.” But then they crash and burn with five or six good games at the end to almost, but not quite make the play-offs. Not watching NHL hockey means the gutters will be cleaned soon after the ice melts. It means this year the lawn will be raked and cut before it gets too high. We might get to the tin shack cabin more than once this summer and the car and truck may see a chamois after a good spring wash. There will be no wasted Saturday and Sunday afternoons sitting in front of the tube. The only reason we even have matinee games is because that’s when Americans like to watch sports and the American audience is the only one that matters to his holiness Gary Bettman. I don’t even miss the NHL. Out of sight, out of mind. Thanks to Bell (I never thought I would ever write those words) and their free previews, I’m watching Equinox, Oasis, radx and HiFi television until the end of January. Nature, music, travel and extreme sports for free instead of hockey. That’s not hard to take. Bottom 800s for those of you not aware of this freebie. Saw a ZZ Top concert on HiFi recently that took place in their home state of Texas that was more entertaining than any NHL play-off game I’ve seen in the past couple of years. Man, that Billy Gibbons can wail on a guitar. The thing that really bothered me most about the latest NHL shutdown is the pure lack of empathy shown by both the players and owners. Nobody seemed to give a rat’s sass about the ushers, servers or other staff who were out of a job while the rich battled over millions. Did any of these self-centred millionaires care about the concession employees, waiters/ waitresses at nearby restaurants or the people whose livelihood depends on the sale of NHL paraphernalia? What about their own support staff, the trainers and equipment guys? Probably not. Many of these poor, out of work NHLers travelled to Europe to take someone else’s job while they waited to return to a bigger pay cheque in North America. Hell, if they don’t even care about other hockey players less fortunate than they are, why would they care about the fans? At least now that NHL players are back in the U.S. and Canada, some other player will be paid for half a season in Europe. If there is any justice in the world of professional hockey, five or six struggling U.S. teams will bite the dust and that will be Gary Bettman’s legacy. That and the booing which should reach unheard of decibel levels if Bettman is stupid enough to present the Stanley Cup this year. Bettman presenting the cup is reason enough not to watch this NHL pseudo-season as far as I’m concerned. Northwest EMC - Thursday, January 10, 2013

Giant book sale a new year’s gift to readers or Toronto where they have a big sale but not out here.” Along with residents from Trent Hills and nearby Peterborough County, people have travelled from Belleville and Kingston and the GTA for the sales which were widely promoted online, McGrath says. “Everybody’s been very pleased with it, they’ve been very happy that they have somewhere they can go in a small town to get something like this,” said McGrath.

EMC News - Hastings Al McGrath has learned a lot about the book trade including the unavoidable fact that they are heavy and can be a pain in the back to cart around, move and organize. The genial owner of the Hastings Riverside Auction Hall wrapped up the third and probably last giant book sale this past weekend putting more of the 60,000 or so books he had acquired from the sister of a Toronto-area collector. The vast selection of books, CDs, magazines, old stereos and other collectibles have been on sale during periodic weekend events at the historic former dance pavilion and during some of McGrath’s regular auctions. “It’s been good for the [auction hall] and very good for the people,” McGrath told the Northwest EMC during Saturday’s sale. “Really, out here in small communities there’s been nowhere to go to do this. You might see in Peterborough
Dan Brown , elegant tabletop books on abstract art or just about anything else, you could probably have found it at the Hastings giant book sale. The late book collector had titles on just about everything, McGrath says. “He wasn’t specific about what he got.” McGrath made six trips into Toronto to retrieve the books and other items. “I suspect there were 100,000 books. He’d been doing it for at least 40 years. Some of the books are much older titles.” The collection was kept in four 60- by 40-foot storage units “right up to the roof.”
McGrath says there were probably at least 200 stereos in one of the storage units as well as 70 to 80 music boxes and “hundreds and hundreds of cigar boxes. “He had specific things that he did [collect],” he says. “I’ve learned a lot about the book trade and what people like; they like art books a lot. We had quite a big selection of art books.” Even though he says there must be at least 30,000 books still left, McGrath is not sure there will be another series of book sales. “I don’t know if I’m going to do it one more time. This will probably be the last.”

Trent Hills’ woman in court as a result of fatal rollover EMC News - Campbellford - Angel Michelle Brooking, 35, from Trent Hills, has been charged with one count of dangerous operation of motor vehicle causing death under the Criminal Code. The accused was scheduled to appear on January 8 in the Ontario Court of Justice in Brighton. The charges were laid after an investigation by the Northumberland OPP. Shortly after 8 a.m. on Saturday, June 21, 2012, a white Chevrolet Suburban was travelling westbound on the 10th Line East, east of Crowe River Road in the Municipality of Trent Hills when the driver lost control; the vehicle left the roadway, rolled at least once, and came to rest in a farmer’s field on the north side of the road.
The vehicle was occupied by a mother and her four children from the Municipality of Trent Hills. As a result of the collision eightyear-old Gracey Brooking was pronounced dead; 35-year-old Angel Brooking was transported to Campbellford Memorial Hospital and subsequently airlifted to Kingston General Hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries; 14-year-old Christian Brooking, 12-year-old Lloyd Brooking, and seven-year-old William Brooking were transported to the Campbellford Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The Ontario Provincial Police Technical Traffic Collision Investigation Team attended the scene to assist with the investigation.
EMC News - Havelock The largest solar energy company in North America is the latest firm to show an interest in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen. SunEdison is applying to the Ontario Power Authority for three small (500 kW) groundmount solar projects on private property in the township, one on County Road 50, another on Fire Route 53 near Round Lake Road and a third at 620 Round Lake Road. Each of the projects would cover no more than five acres, Utilia Amaral, SunEdison director of government relations told council Monday morning. The company is looking for a municipal support resolution from council that would secure “priority points” under the provincial government’s new FIT 2.0 (Feed In Tariff) process. A FIT priority point resolution does not indicate municipal approval for a proposed project. SunEdison hosted a public meeting January 9 and will return to council January 14 to discuss the public’s response to the three projects and ask for the support resolution, something township council has not done
for SkyPower Global’s two much larger 10 MW solar farm proposals which have raised some public concerns about visual impacts. SunEdison came to Ontario because of the Green Energy Act and FIT program, Amaral says, and has since opened a manufacturing plant in Newmarket that employs around 400 people. “We hope to stay in Ontario for a long time. SunEdison has made a significant investment in Ontario and would like to continue doing so.” Amaral stressed the smallness of the three groundmount projects. A bigger 10 MW project will usually occupy 110 acres compared to the five to six acres proposed for the HBM groundmounts. Small projects are much more “compatible with the land” and able to complement existing land uses including agriculture,” Amaral said. “Small projects mean very small impacts to local grids” and “eases grid congestion,” she added. They also provide opportunities for rural property owners to generate supplementary income and represent a “great opportunity for geographical-
ly diverse community ownership across [Ontario].” SunEdison was part of the provincial working group that studied the rules surrounding projects abutting residential uses on agricultural or rurally zoned lands. Amaral says those discussions resulted in very specific rules regarding setbacks and buffers. “They are very specific about siting and how far apart they should be.” The Minister of Environment’s initial directive said a solar project couldn’t be built if it abutted a residential property. That has changed and now there must be a minimum 20 metre setback from property lines and there must be visual buffering. “There should be enough coverage in there so driving by a project you won’t be able to see it,” says Amaral. “If there’s a line of sight from a backyard you won’t be able to see it.” “Even though these are small scale projects they still have to go through the exact steps as if they were large scale,” she said. “We support solar in general,” said Deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe. “But we have had concerns; one is how close it is to residential. We heard from the community that they don’t like to see these things. They are concerned about the impact on their properties.” The OPA application “window” closes January 18.

EMC News - Campbellford - Hospitals are now being included in the Central East Local Health Integration Network (CE LHIN) 2013-2016 community health services integration strategy. “The community services integration plan didn’t include hospitals and now it includes hospitals and in our case includes both Northumberland Hills and Campbellford in its community services discussion which is great because we are part of that whole health care continuum.” That was the message from Brad Hilker, CEO for Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) to board members at a recent meeting. “A lot of work has been completed in the Durham region where they are working on delivery models of care with various community agencies,” he said. Board Chair Tim Chennette noted, “Durham is sharing the pitfalls … still struggling with who that team [integration planning team] would be. At the last meeting we said you have to include the hospitals. How can you have a team of care without the hospitals?” Discussions were originally scheduled to take place in this region in June 2013 but they have been moved ahead and are scheduled to start this month. “With the recently announced Health Links initiative by the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care and funding to small rural and northern hospitals, the LHIN’s Community Integration Strategy needed to evolve,” explained Hilker. The plan, which now includes hospitals, will focus on three counties (Northumberland, Peterborough City and County, Haliburton and City of Kawartha Lakes) within the north and east clusters of the LHIN and work is now scheduled to start this month. “While full details are not known yet the Northumberland County facilitated integration process is to include

ished. The five-member Lions splash pad committee says similar splash pads in the area cost about $5,000 a year in staff time to operate and an additional $1,000 annually in energy related costs. “Over the last few months the subject of building and installing a splash pad in the village has been discussed around the municipality,” Bruce Wharram told council. “Many positive and negative aspects have been brought forward but the most prevalent point of view seems to be that this would be a very positive addition to the recreational facilities that we have to offer our citizens and our youth in particular.” Committee members have investigated a number of splash pad facilities including those in Campbellford and Cobourg and figure the $250,000 to $300,000 price range “would most likely provide us with what would be suitable for our needs.” The Lions will raise their $100,000 through a combination of donations from businesses, organizations and individuals as well as their own in-house fund-raising activities. “We have done extensive research into grants that could be available,” said Wharram. The Ontario Trillium Foundation is the “most likely source,” they say. Similar recreational projects across the province have benefited from Trillium assistance. Wharram adds, “Other grants may be available from government and several dedicated groups.” “Many businesses and individuals in the community have indicated they would provide financial support for this activity in addition to the Norwood Lions.” The committee believes that a water recycling feature for the splash pad would be best rather than a one-time use system because the municipality does not have access to a large water supply. The water recycling feature, they admit, would add “significantly” to the purchase and operating cost. “For this proposal to go forward as designed it would be necessary for the municipality to be a partner,” the

the Branch and a very visible part of Remembrance Day ceremonies in the township and a very welcome guest at the annual Havelock Belmont Public School Remembrance program. Aalbers and Branch 389 also presented Community Care Havelock with a $1,000 donation and were deeply appreciative of the $3,000 donation it received from the Branch’s Ladies Auxiliary. “If we didn’t have the Ladies Auxiliary I don’t think the Branch would be the same,” he said. There was also an anonymous $250 donation accompanied by a note Aalbers read to guests. The $250, the note said, was as a “humble token of my great esteem of this Legion; it’s one of the finest I’ve known.” “Your faithful and continuous support of our present struggling membership due to declining members (and) age denotes character and strength recognized by the community and around the area,” the letter said. “Let us continue this important work (and) to be faithful to our past former comrades.” Aalbers also noted that the executive has agreed to change meetings to the afternoon during the winter; they will now meet at 2 p.m. on the third Wednesday of the month.

EMC News - Havelock It was a New Year’s Day welcome for guests and members of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 389 in Havelock-BelmontMethuen. The branch continued its longstanding tradition of holding its honours and awards celebration on January 1, setting course on another year at the busy establishment on Ottawa Street. The event marked the first official duties of acting president Marc Aalbers, taking over from George Cochrane who has resigned from his executive position because of work commitments in Oshawa. “He has done an outstanding job at this Legion,” Aalbers said of Cochrane. “I’ve only been here two years and whenever I’ve walked in he’s always been here. He’s done the job of probably four or five people [and] I can rely on George to help me out.” “I hope you give Marc the same sort of support you gave me over the years; he deserves it and he’s going to do a good job,” added Cochrane, who enjoyed the ceremony from outside of the limelight. The honours and awards was notable for the presentation of a joint Legionnaire of the Year award to Bob Anderson and veteran Joe Phillips and the unveiling of new medals that recipients will receive, something Aalbers says is “most appropriate.” “We tried to do something a little different,” he said of the medals with ribbons that sport the Royal Engineers colours. “I think a medal on a jacket is most apropos,” said Aalbers. “I always see Bob working away at something for the Branch. He has always stepped up when needed.” Phillips was not able to attend the ceremony because of illness but Aalbers reassured members he will make a complete recovery. The World War II veteran is a stalwart member of

Falls prevention program at hospital being revitalized people, according to Stats Canada. “Today, all patients admitted to CMH over the age of 65 or those with a history of a fall within the last three months have a falls assessment done on admission,” said Raine. “Information gained from this assessment identifies those who are at risk of falling while under care in the hospital and signage at the bedside lets those caring for the patients know the person is at risk of having a fall.” The hospital’s “Falling Leaf Program” is being introduced at the hospital, featuring a new revised falls and balance assessment. The signage is just one way of identifying patients who are prone to falling. At-risk patients are also identified with a colourful leaf on their medical chart, kardex (trademark for a cardfiling system that allows quick reference to the particular needs of each patient

for certain aspects of nursing care) and at their bedside, explained Raine. White boards located at each bedside will have up-todate information on the risk of falling as well as any mobility aides required or if the patient requires assistance to get up or with walking. At risk patients will also wear a purple bracelet along with their regular patient ID band, allowing any staff member to be able to identify a patient at risk for falling no matter where they are within the hospital. “This program builds on our existing program and the way I describe it is it’s a higher profile for patients that are at risk,” said Raine. “There is a leaf that will be put on their door and it’s a nice way of saying watch this patient, this patient falls … without neon lights,” commented Raine.
This program is based on the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario Best Practice Guidelines for Fall Prevention and focuses on those at the highest risk for falls. The revised assessment takes into consideration pa-
tient sensory deficits that require visual and hearing aids. Physical condition, medications and cognitive status are all taken into consideration when this assessment is done. “We will probably con-
tinue to have falls but at the same time it’s just something you can’t give up on and it’s very upsetting to the families when a patient falls even though the patient has come in because of a fall,” said Raine.

EMC News - Campbellford - Falls by the elderly constitutes an important health problem and it is a health issue the Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) is working hard to remedy. “The hospital is revitalizing its existing falls prevention program to meet the changing needs of the region’s senior population,” said Jan Raine, chief nursing office at CMH. According to Statistics Canada at least 90 per cent of hip fractures are estimated to be caused by falls, the second leading cause of hospital admission for women age 65 or older. In some western provinces, accidental falls ranked first as a cause of hospitalization of elderly women, even surpassing the rate for coronary heart disease. Falls account for 86 per cent of injury admissions to hospital among elderly

63rd annual festival seeking submissions
First public showing for local photographer By Richard Turtle
EMC Lifestyles - Stirling Peter Muzik says he used to take pictures all the time, often snapping off thousands of photographs while on vacation. That was back in the days of developing and processing and the much longer time be-
tween taking the picture and viewing the frozen image. “I was leery about getting into digital,” he says of his hobby hiatus as film processing began to disappear. But when his daughter Robyn, a registered nurse in Ottawa, was shopping around for a camera Muzik decided to take the

opportunity to catch up with the newest innovations. And after finding a camera that perfectly suited his needs, Muzik suddenly found himself taking thousands of photos again. “I take most of them around my home [in StirlingRawdon] and our cottage on Bob’s Lake,” Muzik says, and his passion for capturing images also illustrates his passion for the outdoors and nature’s beauty. “I really enjoy building up my bird collection,” he says. And for the first time, Muzik has agreed to put his work on public display at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library art gallery for the month of January. “This is my very first show,” Muzik explains, and came as a result of the encouragement of family and friends, including wife Sally and son Tim. But he admits the satisfaction comes from seeking and finding those elusive moments that can often take hours, weeks or even months or years of patience. Muzik’s bird collection already features most of the area’s common species as well as several rarely spotted in the area, including bald eagles and kingbirds with nests of young. Along with the two dozen framed pictures on the gal-
lery walls, Muzik has also provided a pair of albums filled with photographs of landscapes, wildlife and sunsets for the exhibition. Now retired after more than 30 years with the federal government, Muzik also has a passion for music. And while he hasn’t given up playing entirely, the keyboardist who also plays guitar, banjo and accordion, says he gave a musical career serious consideration before opting to become a computer analyst. But he admits, despite performing in Canadian Coun-
try star Carroll Baker’s band many years ago, life on the road offered a far less settled lifestyle than he wanted. But he has many fond memories of those days and, learning of Baker’s upcoming performance at the Stirling Festival Theatre on April 27, vowed to take in the show. Thousands of other memories are now digitally stored and catalogued and Muzik says his passion for picture taking has re-emerged with more fervor. “I never used to frame anything,” he says.

A visit to a South African ostrich farm
Here’s an “up close and personal” look at an ostrich on the South African farm. By John M. Smith
EMC Lifestyles - Commercial ostrich farming became popular back in the late 1800s in South Africa, and the Oudtshoorn district quickly emerged as “The Ostrich Capital of the World.” I had the good fortune to visit Oudtshoorn’s “Safari Ostrich Show Farm,” which has been operating as a tourist attraction in Klein Karoo, a semi-desert region, for about 50 years. This is the place to
find out everything you ever wanted to know about the ostrich—and more. Upon arrival, an Englishspeaking guide led me to the breeding camp and hatchery, where I could actually see the chicks being hatched. It’s quite a sight to see the babies pecking away at the hard shells and finally emerging! I was told the female sits upon the egg during the day, and the male takes over for the night shift.
Christmas dinner a milestone event
Continued from page 17
Rodgers who came up with the idea of a free Christmas dinner a decade ago and has watched it grow into a symbol of community spirit. Clarke also added words of appreciation to everyone who united to make the dinner another success including all of the local churches, J.J. Stewart Motors, Norwood Foodland, the United Church Community Supper, Hilts Butcher Shop and
the Number 7 Cruisers Car Club. There were also several anonymous donors who stepped forward with contributions, he added. The dinner could not have operated without the volunteer efforts of all those who brought dinner items, helped prepare the meal then served it. Including volunteers, 100 people sat down to Norwood’s free Christmas dinner.
This view is near the summit of South Africa’s Robinson Pass, near the visited ostrich farm.
I was then taken out into the farmland itself, where I watched many ostriches at play in their natural habitat. I learned the lifestyle of these birds was somewhat similar to some teenagers I’ve met, for they eat about 20 hours per day and sleep for about one hour! Ostriches prefer to have just very brief naps. I was also informed that their sharp claws can be very dangerous and have been used to slice open other animals, including humans! I also saw some Kenyan red ostriches here, the world’s largest birds, and I was told that they can grow to be about six feet tall and weigh up to 320 pounds.
How would you like one of those chasing you? The guide pointed to a particular one and said “there’ll be about 80 pounds of meat from that one ostrich—from its thigh, leg, and neck.” I then got an even more “up close and personal” look at an ostrich in a fenced-in pen with a seating area for the tourists. After an informative talk, we were encouraged to “come on down” (sort of like on The Price is Right) from our raised seating area, and actually walk out to the bird, and with the help of the bird handlers, sit on the bird’s back. I, of course, was one of the tourists who accepted this opportunity!
A bag was placed over the bird’s head, to help keep it calm, and then I was assisted in climbing up a small ladder and sitting on the bird’s back. The bag was then removed from the ostrich, and “voilà,” a photo op! After the tourists were all given this opportunity, one was selected to actually ride the ostrich around the fenced-in area while the rest of us cheered. A young woman “won” this “special treat” and was presented with an “Ostrich Driving Certificate” after her ride. There was a 165-pound limit for this riding opportunity, and we were told that “if we were heavier than that, then

we would have to carry the ostrich instead!” We then witnessed an exciting “ostrich race,” where local jockeys rode their birds to the finish line. Yes, these desert birds can really move. I was told they can run at a speed of about 70 kilometres an hour for a distance of about three kilometres, but I don’t think it’ll replace horse racing any time soon. While touring this farm, I also visited the Welgeluk Homestead, which is referred to as the “Ostrich Palace.” This beautiful structure was built in 1910, at the height of the “feather boom.” Ostrich feathers were particularly popular, and expensive, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It’s now a National Monument and a reminder of the wealth associated with ostrich farming at the time. I was then taken into the farm’s dining area, where I tried some ostrich meat (very lean) and part of an ostrich egg (which is very high in cholesterol), and I was told that one of the large eggs could feed up to 18 people! I then, of course, was taken into a showroom, where several ostrich-related products were on sale for the tourists, including colourfully decorated eggshells, feather dusters, and leather products such as ostrich wallets and belts. Of course, one doesn’t have to go all the way to South Africa to visit an ostrich farm, for we have them right in our area; however, there was something different about visiting the “Ostrich Capital of the World” while in South Africa. To get to Oudtshoorn and the Safari Ostrich Show Farm, we had to drive through the Robinson Pass, high in the mountains, and as luck would have it, we experienced a serious bus problem right at the summit! Our bus driver spent the entire night up there until the bus repairs were completed – while we were “rescued” by another bus and taken to our destination.

RURAL REPORT
MP Rick Norlock talks about priorities for the new year
EMC News - Campbellford - Against a backdrop of gathering local input for the upcoming federal budget, Rick Norlock, MP Northumberland-Quinte West spoke recently with EMC about the country’s economic action plan … and more. “We are the only country that will be able to say it has the capability and probability of reducing the deficit to zero in three to four years. The deficit is around $30 billion now, about half what it was in 2009,” he commented. This week he was busy hosting pre-budget round-
table discussions with business, academic, and community leaders in his riding. The consultation in Campbellford was held on Tuesday. “Indeed, in the past, many of the ideas brought forward in local pre-budget meetings have been reflected in the actual federal budget,” he stated. “I strongly believe talking directly to Canadians is the best way to get input in how to help fuel job and economic growth in Northumberland-Quinte West and across Canada,” he said. He agreed to meet with EMC at the Grind House
Café in Campbellford during the holiday break. During his interview with EMC he talked about his own priorities for 2013. “The riding is a mirror of the nation itself and the priorities are jobs, the economy and long-term prosperity,” he said, sipping on a coffee. “In practical terms that means getting our employment numbers to post recession and better. We always hear of the plants closing but don’t hear about the jobs created,” he added. In a recently released statement he noted, “Our plan is keeping Canada on the right track, with over

to go back to the drawing board over proposals to purchase stealth aircraft and more, but the economy both locally and in Canada remained at the top of his list for discussion. “We said, unlike a previous government in a recession that was nowhere
near as severe as this, that we would not cut back on health care, social transfers, and education and we have not. We said we are not going to fight the deficit on the backs of the sick, the poor or on education, because education is the key to the future.”

EMC News - Warkworth Thanks to a timely donation from a member of the Northumberland business community, The Bridge Hospice has put one of the major finishing touches on the interior of the new facility with the purchase of window coverings. “We were looking for a donor or donors who could help us out with the blinds,” said Dr. Bob Henderson, chair of hospice board. Carl Fletcher, owner of Northumberland Hearing Centres, heard about the need, stepped up to the plate and donated generously to assist with the purchase of the window coverings, states a press release. The centre has locations in Brighton, Campbellford, Cobourg, Picton and Trenton. Fletcher said when he heard through a business contact in Campbellford that The Bridge Hospice faced a challenge in securing the needed funds he personally, along with his company, decided to make a donation for a “great cause that the community will greatly benefit from for years to come.” The Bridge Hospice continues to be thankful for the enthusiastic financial support of the local and wider community, stated the release. Thousands of hours of volunteer effort have made the building a reality. To operate, this residential hospice relies totally on private donations, fundraising events, bequests, and memorial donations. When The Bridge Hospice is ready to accept residents, there will be no fee for their care. For additional information please contact: Sarika Diljohn-Maharaj, administrative assistant, The Bridge Hospice at 705-924-9222 or email <sarika@thebridgehospice.com>.
820,000 net new jobs created since the end of the global recession, the best growth record among all G-7 countries.” During his interview with EMC Norlock was quick to admit that the north end of his riding, which includes Trent Hills, “does have its challenges compared to the 401 corridor … the mayor and council here and other communities in the north end have taken that into account and are saying ‘what kind of businesses can we encourage.’” He noted, “Everybody is looking at their industrial parks.” Norlock talked about the Trent Severn Waterway and its relevance to tourism in his riding. “When we MPs heard what the plan was for the Trent Severn, the significant reduction in the number of hours and job losses, we put together a package after we had a conversation with the stakeholders and we were able to salvage most of the season,” he commented. “But,” he added, “we haven’t harnessed the potential of the day users or weekend users … you just have to look at the new Canadians fishing off the bridge in Hastings … to them this is the country, the wide open spaces.” During the year-end interview he also talked about the reduction in the size of government, the decision

Rebels emphasize skating skills at hockey school Bellamy, Cole Mahoney and Tyler McGown did at the start of each hockey school session “working on the cross over and getting a little hop and more power in their inside leg on a circle. Most of them don’t have that right now and they’ve got to learn that.”
“They bring a lot of enthusiasm,” Crashley said of the kids at the school. “It would be good if we got them on the right course and keep them on it. “The trick is to keep them on it [but] it’s nice when they’re always smiling and you see the enjoyment.”
Reaching out to minor hockey and its young players is something the Rebels hope to do through the hockey school. “We want to try to be as accommodating to minor hockey and as encouraging as we can,” Crashley added.
EMC News - Orillia - The OPP and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) are reminding riders that a snowmobile can quickly take you away from areas where services, communities and emergency assistance are easily accessible or available. Responsible snowmobilers take charge of their own safety and well-being by preparing their sled, gear and equipment before the first ride of the season. In addition to getting properly trained and knowing the law, there are other factors to consider when getting ready for safe snowmobiling: • Service your sled - Avoid breakdowns that can leave you stranded by having your sled professionally serviced before your first ride. • Carry a repair kit - Ensure you have either the sled manufacturer’s tool kit or one of your own on board,
including owner’s manual, spare belt and spark plugs. • Inspect your gear and equipment - Make sure everything still fits and works properly, and that nothing is missing before you head out. • Prepare for first aid - Preassembled first aid kits can be found at outdoor stores and online and so can information about first aid courses. • Get a survival kit - Any unexpected day or night spent out in the cold will be easier with assistance from a good survival kit, found at outdoors stores and online, including information about winter survival courses. • Go high-tech - Devices like GPS, cell phones, satellite phones and SPOT Personal Trackers can be very useful in avoiding or dealing with emergency situations. • Contact companions Snowmobiling is more fun with riding buddies, and saf-
er too, so avoid riding alone by getting in touch with friends and family who can join you on the trails. • Review safety tips - As experienced as you may be, it’s always smart to renew your familiarity with your sled’s safety manual and the Safe Riders messaging on the OFSC web site <www. ofsc.on.ca/safety>. The OPP is committed to saving lives on Ontario’s highways, trails and waterways through the reduction of preventable injury and death. Visit <www.opp.ca> for more information. The OFSC is committed to proactive leadership in promoting safe, responsible riding, on and off Ontario snowmobile trails, by building safer snowmobiling knowledge, attitudes and behaviours through rider education, safety legislation development and enforcement. For more information, visit <www.ofsc.on.ca>.

mour Community Foundation with kids receiving their own Rebels training sweater and a ticket to the Empire B Junior C Hockey League team’s game against Deseronto. “It’s hard for the young ones but in hockey skating’s always everything and unfortunately the most important thing to kids is shooting the puck,” Crashley told the Northwest EMC. “It really should be the last thing you should be learning not the first thing.” “You can see the difference, the ones who have a little better advantage skating are the ones who score the goals, it’s not because of their shots. We’ve been trying to emphasize that.”
“We want it to be fun and naturally we are working on the basic skills like how to hold the stick properly. You’d be surprised how many kids 15 and 16 still hold the stick the wrong way,” said Crashley. “If you really wanted to make a good hockey player I’d build a 40-foot by 40foot rink and make it square so they couldn’t go up and down, they’d have to do crossovers all the time so you constantly have to go in circles; that’s where your strength in skating is. The difference between good and bad skaters is always the crossing over and power on the inside foot.” And that’s what Crashley and Rebels players Jackson

EMC Sports - Campbellford - Young hockey players all want to shoot the puck like Steve Stamkos but they’re less inclined to work as diligently on basic skating skills, says Campbellford Rebels coach Bart Crashley, a former smooth-skating NHLer who played with Gordie Howe. Crashley and a trio of Rebels players put the emphasis squarely on skating skills and fun at a three-day hockey school they hosted at the Campbellford-Seymour Community Centre that attracted 34 youngsters from Novice to Peewee.

Campbellford Rebels drop a pair to the Jets By Bill Freeman
EMC Sports - Campbellford - It wasn’t the way the Campbellford Rebels wanted to start the new year in the Empire B Junior C Hockey League, dropping a pair of games to the Amherstview Jets 6 - 5 and 5 - 1. With the wins the Jets (18-11-0-1) leapfrogged over Campbellford (17-9-02) into third place with Port Hope (19-11-0-1) holding down second place and Pic-
ton (23-4-0-2) maintaining their position on top of the EBJCHL standings. The Rebels squandered a 4 - 1 second-period lead on home ice with the Jets reeling off three straight goals to even the score by the opening 43 seconds of the third. Campbellford had charged in front on a pair of goals by defenceman Steven Clarke and singles from Seamus McDougall and Connor Turland.
Josh Adams beat Jets goalie Troy Paquette to give the Rebels a 5 - 4 lead at the 2:53 mark of the third but Jake Hulton knotted things at 5 - 5 two minutes later. Cassidy Bruni’s goal 1:18 later proved to be the difference in the game. The Rebels had the edge in offence pounding 45 shots at the Jets goal and found success with the powerplay notching a pair on four attempts. Campbellford goalie
Cole Mahoney faced 36 shots. Picking up assists for Campbellford were Ryan Crowley, Turland, McDougall and call-up Andy Paul. Isaac DeSouza had a pair of goals for the Jets with Ryan Fletcher and Brandon Gilmour adding single markers. Rebels coach Bart Crashley is not surprised that the EBJCHL standings are so tight but he also admits that the Rebels have had all sorts of trouble against the Jets.
“Nobody’s easy but nobody’s really scaring us although we do have some troubles with Amherstview,” Crashley told the Northwest EMC. “When we have our full team we’re a pretty good hockey team. There’s nobody that scares us, our biggest problem is ourselves,” he said. It was all Amherstview Sunday night with the Jets cashing in a pair of powerplay goals and building up a
4 - 1 lead after two periods of play. Josh Adams, from Mitch Gibson, broke Paquette’s shutout at the 6:38 mark of the second period. Scoring for the Jets were Sam Paxton, Hulton, Brett Yorke, Gilmour and Wilson. Campbellford travels to Deseronto January 11 then hosts Napanee the following night. They are on the road to Napanee January 15. The Jets are back in Campbellford January 19.

EMC Sports - Brighton Next week, the Brighton Curling Club will be playing host to one leg of the 2013 Strathcona Cup, regarded as the oldest international curling event in the world. Starting in 1903, the prestigious matchup is held once every five years and features teams from Scotland and Canada competing on alternating sides of the Atlantic Ocean. This year’s tour will see the 60 curlers on 15 teams assembled by the Royal Caledonian Curling Club of Scotland arrive on Canadian shores January 9. Invited by the Canadian Curling Association, smaller groups of 20 curlers each will attend opening banquets in Halifax, Ottawa, and Vancouver, representing the three tours—East, Central and West. This year, for the first time, all ten provinces will be involved in Cup play. After about a month of competition, a wrap-up banquet will be held on January 31 in Burlington. The Cup champion is determined on the cumulative results of all games played, this year, 434 at more than 100 clubs. Overall, more than 1,700 Canadians will
participate as opposition and hosts for the Scots. Four of the Scots teams will compete in Brighton at 4 p.m. on January 17 and the public is invited to attend. Local supporters for the world-class event include the Municipality of Brighton, Casa-Dea Estate Winery, Kin Club of Brighton, Brighton Legion Branch 100, Brighton Lions Club and Rotary Club of Brighton. Once the Strathcona Cup festivities conclude, curling club officials turn their attention to the Fairfield Marriott Challenge, which begins the next day.

Bling, music and moves keep belly dancers smiling By Bill Freeman
belly dancing session of 2013. “It’s low impact and a lot of fun; we’re very creative and you learn dances and music you’ve never heard before,” the Warkworth resident said. Boyd, a member of the Campbellford-based Firelights dancing group, has been belly dancing for five years, taking it up after receiving a gift certificate from her daughter for a Loyalist College session offered in Campbellford. There was no turning back. The class was split into two groups and the eight in Boyd’s group have been together ever since. “We just continued dancing,” she said. “In the beginning for me it was because my shoulders were very stiff and I needed more flexibility.” Boyd was hooked. “It’s just a wonderful allround activity and you don’t have to worry about doing something wrong.” There’s no set MADOC course program Amazing in Hastings which means Coffee people can drop 41 Prince Albert West in whenever Madoc, K0K 2K0 they want. tony@amazingcoffee.ca “You don’t 613-473-9994 have to have any experience.

Boyd. What dancers discover and enjoy is the “isolation separating your hips from your chest and your arms from your feet” as well as the rich and mysteriously exotic music that warms up a cold Canadian morning. Boyd and her fellow Firelights continue to take lessons and will soon join a class in Stirling. They also love to perform and made a memorable splash at last summer’s Moroccan Night in Hastings.

“We love to be invited to dance. We just sort of bonded and it’s been a really good group.” Belly dancing is an ancient art and that is another intriguing element that delights Boyd. “There are a lot of different styles; ours is an American mix [of] tribal fusion and a little bit of cabaret because of all of our jingles. We also learn some of the tribal movements and dances. It developed with different tribes and as tribes moved women in these groups would dance to-
gether and share their expertise. Some of these dances tell stories. Bollywood has its own style of music.” “It really is empowering to see women get together of all ages, shapes, sizes and flexibility,” says Boyd. With the “bling, costumes and the music” it all adds up to a fusion of fun. The Hastings classes run Thursdays from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. For more information call 705-696-3891.

Housing for his long-term service. “2012 was a year of fruition in terms of a lot of projects,” he said. He was particularly proud of the completion of the township’s new 125-page official plan and comprehensive zoning bylaw amendment which he called a “very long and arduous project” for staff and council. The documents received council’s stamp of approval in November after a very open and public consultation process that well-exceeded what is mandated under provincial legislation. It was council’s intention to make the process as open to the public as possible and that is something the mayor, council and CAO Linda Reed and her staff made sure happened. Gerow said there was also a “very positive response” to the re-opening of the township’s medical centre with the help of the provincial government and the Trent Hills Family Health Team. “We were able to get it back and operating again,” he said. “We can build on that as we move forward.” Gerow called the medical centre re-opening an “enhancement of the programs that the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care have in place for our residents.” He and his colleagues
hope a long-term-care facility will be the next big step forward. Gerow also noted the “significant amount of tax dollars” invested in the township to upgrade township and county roads. He also cited development of the township’s web site as another 2012 highlight. The municipality has put a “lot of work and time in” to make the site more accessible and user friendly and to make sure it was an additional resource for both ratepayers and others interested in what is happening in HBM. Communication remains as important today as it did at the time of amalgamation, he said. “It’s good to be informed.” Gerow said they should look at “every avenue we can to better communicate” with ratepayers as well as colleagues in other townships and public sector partners. As a “conversation piece” Gerow says he wants to explore the “concept” of a quarterly newsletter with perhaps the help of local students. “It’s a concept. There are lots of things council could talk about. It doesn’t have to be a long-drawn out thing, just a communication device. He said he was going to “give it a little more thought” and raise it for further discussion.

CMH focuses on clinical initiatives to improve seniors care By Sue Dickens
EMC News - Campbellford - Demographics tell the story. As baby boomers age the population of seniors grows and Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) has a number of programs it is initiating to deal with the health issues this presents. For example, its newly introduced “Restorative Care Program” is there to ensure local seniors who have been hospitalized for an illness and are getting well, have additional supports to regain their strength and return home quickly and safely.
Annual funding of $262,700 from the Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) means Campbellford’s hospital can offer this program to area seniors. The key benefits include engaging family members and caregivers ensuring they are better informed about individual care plans. As well, levels of individual function and independence “are expected to improve with the support of a multidisciplinary team resulting in a safe transition from hospital to home.” The program ensures that
CMH “is providing an environment … that reduces the chances of patient readmission to the hospital or a prolonged hospital stay.” “The program has helped the hospital reduce the number of its Alternative Level of Care (ALC) patients significantly, said Jan Raine. As well the hospital has partnered with the local office of the Central East Community Care Access Centre and Community Care Northumberland to ensure that patients are linked to services in the community to support their return home. Raine explained that the
“Restorative Care Program” is a transitional program for typically elderly inpatients requiring low intensity therapy to improve their strength, endurance, or functioning so they can return to their homes safely following hospital care. A full-time physiotherapist, a recreational therapist and two part-time physiotherapist assistants support these patients. This added capacity in expertise is allowing the hospital to provide a broader base of its patients with physiotherapy support. “We are working together
with a variety of health care partners to create a hospital experience that is sensitive to the needs of the growing number of older adults we serve. We want to encourage the well-being of seniors and make sure they have the best possible outcome following their hospital stay,” Raine explained. Other ways the hospital is helping seniors is by participation in the Behavioural Supports Ontario (BSO) program. “Our participation in a Behavioural Supports Ontario workshop will give us an opportunity to meet with
other health care professionals and determine what best practices we can introduce at Campbellford Memorial Hospital to ensure we are meeting and serving the needs of our aging adults who live in this area,” said Raine. “These programs are designed to ensure that area seniors receive access to the kind of care they require most that is provided by a multidisciplinary team of health care professionals working together to ensure the best outcome for their patients and their families,” she added.
