Quinte West – A beautiful bronze statue of Roy Bonisteel will be the centrepiece of a tribute garden to be set up behind City Hall near the water. Angela Smylie got unanimous approval from city council for the concept, which has been approved by the Bonisteel family. “The family is wholeheartedly in favour of it,” Angela said. She said the Roy Bonisteel Tribute Garden committee is raising money to build the garden. They will need $130,000. Starting

work in July the garden should be unveiled in September. The lifesize bronze statue of Roy built by sculptor Brett Davis will be seated in a familiar pose to invite handson, climb-on, participation. “It’s a fantastic idea,” said Lesley Bonisteel, Roy’s daughter. “We are thrilled and honoured to take it on.” Landscape architect Andre Ypma added the garden will be 3,600 square feet, 58 foot square. Committee member Pat Koets pointed out it will be close to the new marina and waterfront trail.

“He was a prominent Canadian,” Angela said. “This way he will not be lost. People will learn more about him.” Roy Bonisteel is a recipient of the Order of Canada, was a citizen court judge and has many honourary degrees. His main claim to fame was his years of broadcasting on radio and his CBC show Man Alive, as well as several books. “Roy is not just one of our most famous journalists, but also the most accomplished,” Angela said. “This will be a lasting memorial.”

News – Quinte West – Dozens of protestors gathered outside Frank Meyers farm on Monday and Tuesday to show their support for the farmer who has lost his land to the government. “We are here to support Frank,” said lead protestor Lisa Gibson from Morrisburg. She created a Facebook page (Save Frank and Marjorie Meyers Farm) which has drawn almost 20,000 friends including international support and attracted national media. “We have support from as far as Wales, Hungary, Oregon, Australia and Costa Rica,” she said. She said the contract Frank Meyers signed to allow the Department of National Defence to confiscate his 220 acres of land for their new Joint Task Force-2 was illegal. “It’s not a done deal,” she said. “The contract is illegal. The expropriation act is an act of parliament and is only enforced if the person consents to it.” Lisa says Frank was called to Toronto for a hearing in front of a judge and thought it was for an appeal. His wife Marjorie was in the hospital and he was already stressed. When he got in the room he was exhausted and felt that he signed under duress. “He has been fighting this for seven years,” Lisa added. “He finally signed the papers.” Lisa noted her group was here to give him support and were willing to stand in Please see “Support” on page 10

News – Belleville – The Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus has announced the latest phase of the Eastern Ontario Regional Network project, and businesses in the Belleville area can look forward to infrastructure enhancements to expand high speed fibre internet connections later this year. “We want to ensure that the businesses in business parks or business clusters in Eastern Ontario have as many advantages as possible,” said Lisa Severson, Communications and Stakeholder Relations Officer for the EORN. “We want to drive economic development and growth and we want to retain the businesses we already have.” In total, more than 50 business parks and business clusters across Ontario will be receiving improved internet connections in 2014 as part of the EORN, an ongoing $170 million initiative that aims to foster growth and innovation in Eastern Ontario through expanded bandwidth capacity. In total, the business park project is valued at roughly $8.9 million. “EORN is a key economic development tool for the region and we are pleased to extend the reach of the network to these important business hubs,” said EOWC Chair Rick Philips. Phillips noted that a number of businesses across the region are simply unable to expand because of poor internet speeds. In Belleville, the EOWC expects to announce what specific areas and business will be receiving the improvements sometime in the next few weeks as agreement are still being finalized. Construction is slated to begin in the spring with an expected completion in the fall of 2014. Bell Aliant, Cogeco Cable Inc. and Utilities Kingston were awarded the contracts. “We look forward to working with EORN to expand high-speed internet fibre to business parks in our community,” said Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis. “These services will help us attract and retain local businesses.” Looking ahead, Severson said the EORN is also looking at potentially eliminating gaps in cellphone coverage across eastern Ontario, but that any plans are still in their “infancy.” The EORN is in the midst of developing a 10-year strategy to improve all sectors of the economy through improved communications, and already includes a 5,500-km network of new and existing fibre optic cable and 160 new access points for internet service providers. The EORN contract for the local Quinte Loyalist Zone was awarded to Xplornet in 2011 and covers a 7,000-square-km region that includes all of Prince Edward County, most of the southern half of Hastings and Lennox and Addington counties, a westerly portion of Frontenac County and a small portion of Northumberland County, and included the construction of 26 new communications towers.

News – If you are a university or college student, or know of a Belleville resident who is, there is an opportunity to spend three months as an interim exchange student in Lahr, Germany. The student exchange is only one aspect of a long-standing relationship between the two communities. Coun. Jackie Denyes, chair of the program, reported to council Monday that a student from Lahr will be coming to Belleville for the summer, but she has not been able to find a local student to send back. She noted that funds are available to cover up to $400 per month for the three months for any interested and qualified student. The main criteria is that they are a Belleville resident. Those interested can obtain more information from City Hall or contact Coun. Denyes directly, email: councillor.denyes@city.belleville.on.ca.

He had a great sense of humour and was a great guy.” He said he suspected they will not have too much problem raising funds for this project. Ron Hamilton said Roy was his neighbour and a Sidney resident, growing up on a nearby farm. He went to Hogle School. “I have a lot of fond memories,” he said. “I’ve read most of his books. He had a voice for radio too.” Mayor Williams said council will come up with a perfect spot for the garden.

News – Quinte West – An application for a zoning amendment at 88 Princess St., Trenton Ward, would permit a 22-unit condominium development. “Notice of application was circulated to all registered owners of land within 120 metres,” noted area planner Scott Pordham. A resident to the east submitted an email on December 24, 2013, indicating he opposes the plan based on concerns of noise and privacy. Staff contacted the resident and explained that the proposed development may not generate more noise than already permitted by the existing industrial use. It was also explained that the proposed development was not a high rise but townhouses with backyards facing the concerned resident’s home and that no parking areas would be adjacent to his rear yard. To date, no other public comments have been received. The property is located on the north side of Princess Street. The lands are flat and developed with an existing industrial warehouse building and parking lot. The location is in the middle of a residential neighbourhood with single detached dwellings and some multi-unit dwellings. There is high-density seniors housing nearby. Lands to the north are occupied by an elementary school and a branch of the Lions Club. Pordham added that the Official Plan allows townhouses to a maximum net density of 25 units per acre. The proposed development will be in the form of townhouses with a density of about 19 units per acre. The Official Plan requires medium density development to be located on sites adjacent or near existing medium or high-density developments to allow for compatible integration of housing types. The subject lands are located about 148 metres from the Trenton Legion Gardens retirement residence and 168 metres from the Crown Ridge Nursing Home. The property has a total lot area of 1.36 acres with 180 feet of frontage on Princess Street. The land is currently zoned R4-residential fourth density and the amendment would make it a R5-4 residential fifth density special zone. “An arterial road (Dundas Street) and a collector road (Dixon Drive) are located nearby and an additional 22 residential units would not appear to have a major impact on traffic volumes leading to those streets,” Pordham added. The proposed plan includes two parking spaces at each townhouse unit along with additional visitor parking. Privacy is protected by the existing fencing, which will be maintained and the design of the condominium, which will result in rear yards facing the neighbours’ properties.

Zoning amended from rural to residential in Murray

Road in Murray Ward is to tial. The property owned by Eleanor News – Quinte West – A be rezoned from A2 General parcel of land at 28 Dean Rural to A3 Rural Residen- Hoyle has 45 metres of frontage located south of County Road 5. The recently severed parcel is north of three existing rural residential properties. “The Provincial Property Statement (PPS) permits limited residential development,” notes Jennifer Current, manager of Planning Services. A site visit was conducted on November 22 at which time an empty barn was noted on the property at 1 Dean Rd. This property is zoned General Residential and farms are not permitted and the existing barn cannot be used for livestock. A small barn-type structure was also noted on property at 281 County Road 5, with no animals. There were more than four non-farm uses located closer to the structure than this proposed severed lot. “The PPS requires that locally important agricultural land uses be designated and protected by directing non-related development to areas where it will not constrain these uses,” Current points out.

Area birth statistics dismay health unit board By Jack Evans

News – Belleville – The Quinte area is sharply out of sync with the rest of Ontario when it comes to some basic contemporary health data, a report on Reproductive Health and Prenatal Education showed at the board’s first meeting of The Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit for 2014 last Wednesday. The report, which essentially followed similar statistics and trends from several reports in recent years prompted an outburst of serious concern by board members, especially Coun. Jack Miller. He referred to figures about the unusually high incidence of smoking during pregnancy, low ages for mothers and low weights for newborn babies. “It is shocking to see the relation of our area to the rest of the province, especially in these areas,” he said. New Health Unit Chair Jim McBride, right, took over as chair of the Hastings and Prince Edward Coun- “Why are we so often on the wrong end of Ontario averages?” he asked. ties Health Unit Board last Wednesday, with Terry McGuigan, left, acclaimed as vice-chair.

motion to have a more detailed report on the problem, reviewing the agency’s efforts to correct such situation and look at all programs and how they are delivered. Both of them and other board members recalled other reports in recent years showing sharply negative trends or statistics in public health matters between the local area and the province. Staff assured that such a report would be presented during the year. What sparked general concern around the board table was not just the percentages, but the fact that they are substantial in size, in some cases almost double the provincial average. It impacted statistic areas of breastfeeding, birth weight, smoking during pregnancy, and births to mothers less that 20 years of age. In the latter category alone, the local statistic was just under eight per cent, while the Ontario average for the same period was just under four per

NOTICE OF PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE David N. Moore and Son Environmental (David Moore) has partnered with Astoria Organic Matters Ltd. (Astoria) to develop the Belleville Waste Management Facility. David Moore owns the property and will be the primary operator of the scale house, transfer station and recycling facility. Astoria will be the primary operator of the composting facility portion of the site. A multi-media Environmental Compliance Approval application is being developed and will be submitted to the Ministry of the Environment to further develop the site by establishing a waste transfer station and recycling facility, and to expand the leaf and yard waste composting facility to include commercial food waste, source separated organic waste (municipal), biosolids, wood waste, paper waste, inert powders, manure, liquid industrial organics and other organic wastes. This amendment is also seeking to expand the service area to include organics and recyclable materials from domestic and commercial sources from the provinces of Ontario and Quebec and the State of New York, US. The site is currently approved to be used for the transfer and processing of non-hazardous recyclable materials, non-recyclable municipal waste and leaf and yard waste from domestic and commercial sources from the counties of Prince Edward, Hastings, Northumberland, Peterborough, Halliburton, Lennox and Addington, Frontenac, Leeds and Grenville, Lanark and Renfrew.

cent. Several members expressed concern at the birth weight chart which showed more than 7.5 per cent of local births less than the health-base average of about 5.5 pounds, while the provincial average was just 6.5 per cent. “Does the pregnancy smoking statistic have an impact on that?’ one member asked. The presenter staff member, Nancy McGeachy, confirmed yes. “Nutrition and low income are also probable factors,” she suggested. Rates of smoking during pregnancy locally were assessed at up to 30 per cent in 2008 locally, trending downward to about 25 per cent in 2011, while the Ontario average was about 10.5 per cent in 2008 and lowered to almost 10 per cent. Staff assured they would increase efforts in promoting non-smoking clinics and other health unit services for the newborn, including a new online course for mothers who might not be able to attend in-house clinics at various points in the area. On a good news theme, staffer Janet Moorhead-Cassidy reported on a news release from the provincial government on sharply increased allowances for families needing dental care help. She noted that the board had been active in advocating such assistance in resolutions and letters during the past year. The release stated that the qualifications for assistance under existing programs would be raised from $20,000 to $25,000 and would also allow an additional $1,500 for each child. The release covered several other new developments which the board agreed as positive, to be “rolled out” during the coming months. A report from the builder on the new two-storey headquarters assured the project so far is “on time and on budget” with steelwork set to commence in March. As the board’s annual meeting for 2014, members also elected Jim McBride as chair and Terry McGuigan as vice-chair. McBride succeeds Beth Campbell who had held the post for the past two years.

Egypt referendum

Editorial - General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who led the coup against Egypt’s elected president last July, has one of the finest collections of military headgear in the entire Middle East. Perhaps that’s why he has still not admitted that he plans to become the next president: he can’t decide which hat to throw into the ring. His own explanation for his shyness comes straight out of the Aspiring DictaGwynne Dyer tor’s Handbook: “If I nominate myself, there must be a popular demand, and a mandate from my army,” he told the state-owned paper AlAhram. “When Egyptians say something, we obey, and I will never turn my back on Egypt.” Egyptian generals are deeply patriotic people, and three others before Sisi have sacrificed their own desire for a quiet life in order to rule Egypt: Gamal Abdel Nasser (1956-70), Anwar Sadat (1970-81) and Hosni Mubarak (1981-2011). In fact, the last three years have been the only time in the life of the great majority of Egyptians when a general has not been running the country, and Sisi seems ready to make the supreme sacrifice too. A mandate from the army shouldn’t be hard to get, since he runs the whole organization. And as far as “popular demand” is concerned, Sisi is clearly planning to use a “yes” vote in this week’s referendum on the new constitution as proof that the people want him for president. The new constitution will be the third in four years. It replaces the one that was written and adopted (also by referendum) during the brief, unhappy rule of President Mohamed Morsi, who took office on June 30, 2012 and was overthrown on July 3, 2013. It removes the “Islamic” changes that Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood wrote into the last one, which should appeal to secular Egyptians, but that’s not what makes it attractive to General Sisi. The new clauses that only a soldier could love include one that gives the Egyptian military the right to appoint the defence minister, and another that says the military budget will

not be subject to civilian oversight. It also retains the muchcriticized clause that allows civilians to be tried in military courts. Sisi reckons enough civilians will vote for it anyway, some because they hate the Islamists and some because they are just tired of all the upheavals. Maybe they will, because the whole Arab world is suffering from revolution fatigue: the “Arab awakening” has caused such turbulence that many people would find a return to the old dictatorships almost comforting. It’s true even in Syria, where some of the rebels are starting to talk about making a deal with the Assad regime in order to isolate the Islamist extremists and hasten the end of the war. Egyptians are frightened and exhausted, and Sisi apparently thinks they will gratefully accept a return to army rule (behind a democratic facade). But his nervousness is showing: there’s barely a wall in Cairo that is not covered with “Yes” posters and pictures of Sisi, while people trying to put up “No” posters get arrested. Sisi is probably right to be nervous. In late September, three months after the coup, Zogby Research Services carried out an extensive opinion poll in Egypt for the Sir Bani Yas Forum in Abu Dhabi. It revealed that confidence in the army had already dropped from 93 per cent to 70 per cent, and it probably has gone on dropping. General Sisi and former President Morsi had almost equal support in the country – 46 per cent for Sisi, 44 per cent for Morsi (who now faces trial for “inciting his supporters to carry out premeditated murder” and various other alleged crimes). The Zogby poll also revealed that an overwhelming majority of respondents blame the last military regime, under Hosni Mubarak, for the problems facing Egypt today. All in all, this is hardly a firm foundation on which to complete the counter-revolution and build a new military regime. The likeliest outcome of the referendum on the new constitution this week (Tuesday and Wednesday) will be a modest majority for the “Yes”, but on a very low turnout. If it is lower than the mere 33 per cent who voted in the referendum on the last constitution in 2012, then Sisi may have to reconsider his plan to run for the presidency.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Ontario: Yours to Recover In her Thursday, Jan. 9 letter to the editor, our local Liberal candidate Georgina Thompson decided to use Liberal talking points in response to a year-end column that the EMC ran with our local MPP, Todd Smith. In the tradition of McGuinty-Wynne Liberals, she ignored the facts. She fails to mention jobs numbers were the worst in the country in December as Ontario lost 39,000 jobs in a single month. Imagine putting a city nearly the size of Quinte West out of work in a single month, because that’s basically what the Liberal job record was for December. She raises the Liberal “partnership” with Cisco Canada. Apparently, we should be excited about the Ontario government giving 220 million taxpayer dollars to a company that made $8 billion in profit last year. That means Cisco couldn’t spare less than three per cent of profit margin to do business in Ontario. There’s a reason why a Western University professor said this “easily ranks as the worst Canadian public policy [decision] of 2013.” Corporate welfare – which is what this is – isn’t a strategy, it’s the last result when you’ve messed up everything else. And speaking of messing up everything else, let’s talk about how much your hydro bill has gone up in the last decade. You’re paying a lot more now than you used to. You’re paying for two cancelled gas plants in Mississauga and

Oakville, you’re paying for wind and solar power when we don’t need it and then selling to the United States and Quebec at a loss. You’re paying, you’re paying, you never stop paying. And make no mistake, we’re the ones paying for it. Your hydro bill has gone up 107 per cent since 2003. Most of that just since 2009. I can understand why she ignored those facts. In her letter, Ms. Thompson mentions the Liberal’s grant to Sigma Stretch Films. She forgets (conveniently) the news article that highlighted that while the grant was for $237,000, Sigma’s monthly hydro bill was $325,000. That’s up from $143,000 a couple years ago and, under the plan the Liberals announced in December, it will be $461,000 by 2017. Meaning that, really, all that $237,000 is paying for is a couple weeks of electricity. As to Heinz and Kellogg’s, the Liberals can do their best to spin it. But, decades of manufacturing tradition, pillars of the community and thousands of jobs will be leaving Ontario when those doors close. Lost jobs, sky-high hydro rates and corporate welfare payments. I didn’t think Ms. Thompson would be so willing to defend those three things. Because no matter how she chooses to phrase it, that’s what the facts say the Liberal record is.

Start a new fad, walk to school By Terry Bush Editorial - . I didn’t think I heard it right the first time so when it came on the radio again, I listened a little more closely. At the end of the commercial, a young girl can be heard saying, “I can walk to school, can you?” The commercial was sponsored by the local Health Unit, which is no doubt trying to spur the younger generation into getting a bit of exercise. “I can walk to school.” Of course hearing something like this brought out the inner geezer in me that seems to be lurking just below the surface at any given time, now that I’m older. Walking to school is something we all used to do. We had no choice and didn’t think anything of it at the time. We walked everywhere. The only time we didn’t walk was when we rode our bikes, another innovative idea whose time has come. It’s not like our families were rich enough to have two cars at their disposal and why would you need two vehicles? Most mothers stayed at home those days. Not only did we walk or ride our bikes to school, we had to ride them home for lunch because town kids, even if they lived at the far end of town, weren’t allowed in the lunch room unless their mothers sent a note saying they wouldn’t be home that day because they were busy at the hospital giving birth. While I didn’t have to walk as far as my father did, which if I recall correctly was in the neighbourhood of eight miles uphill both ways, it was still quite a hike by today’s standards considering many children only walk from the car to the front door of the school. I would guess we walked or rode our bikes probably a mile or so to get to school, which was really nothing. To a geezer in training like myself, today’s kids, despite today’s technology, are missing out on some great childhood memories and most of them involve physical activity. When we were kids, and by that I mean under the age of 10, we walked for miles to bring the cows in for milking. There was no complaining involved, we thought it was a privilege to be given the responsibility to walk to the other side of the woods and herd the cows back through the woods to the barn. It made us feel all grown up, like we were teenagers. It could never happen today but we also stopped traffic on Highway 14 at the top of the first hill south of Stirling and herded the cows across the road into the barn to be milked too. We built forts in the woods, fished in every creek and stream in the area, regularly visited the Stirling sewage lagoons to admire the wildlife and did all this either on foot or on our bikes. Our decidedly low tech, one-speed bicycles worked almost as well in the winter as they did in the summer depending on the day. I can still recall strapping a very weighty bag of Saturday Toronto Telegrams to my banana seat and travelling to the four corners of Stirling through slush and snow on a paper route that nobody wanted for good reason. It didn’t kill me but I sure looked forward to the Saturdays when my grandfather or dad had a bit of time to drive me around. Those Saturday Telegrams were almost two inches thick. Quite a slog when you only had one gear, but no worse than our rides up the hills from Stirling to Oak Lake to go swimming in the summer. In the evenings, kids on the street would gather at dusk for a game of flashlight hide and seek in the nearby fields. From a young age, my friends and I would travel over hill and dale in the dead of winter, tentatively crossing Rawdon Creek to that Mecca of tobogganing, Shay’s Hill, for a day of fun. It wasn’t unusual to find 80 kids there, red-faced and smiling as they hung on for dear life. Dead tired after climbing up the hill dozens of times, we’d trudge a couple of miles back home. When that hill became too tame, we walked even farther to Suicide Hill, a spectacular place where you could rarely see the bottom of the hill from the top, it was that steep in winter. Most kids today would be hard-pressed to climb to the top of that hill once let alone spend a day riding a sled up and down. In the very early spring, we looked forward to getting rid of our coats and tackling the old barn that was called the Stirling arena. We’d ride to the top of Stapley’s Hill next to the old sawmill, pedal down that hill as fast as we could and because all the snow had slid down the side of the building, we’d veer off the road to see how far we could ride up the side of the rink on the snowbanks before we came tumbling down. Will kids today have many of these same experiences? Unfortunately most won’t. We’re caught up in a world of technology with our derrieres glued to our seats staring blankly at screens exercising little more than our thumbs. A perfect toboggan ride down a steep hill can’t hold a candle to owning the latest, fastest phone or tablet filled with apps and games. Gadgets rule the roost and children’s health suffers. It’s easy to see why the local Health Units are trying to steer kids in a healthier direction. Thinking back, we rarely had more than one chubby kid in our class all through public school. I don’t think the same can be said today.

years pictures, when a rather familiar looking girl starting showing up, that made me smile. And so we watched through 45 years of hilarious photos, with the wedding, the babies, the cottage, and then more weddings and now lots more ba-

quick to tell you that the mentorship really went in the other direction. He’s the kind of person who genuinely enjoys and appreciates people. So there he was last night, with his daughters directing the show (insisting they were being “decisive”, not “bossy”), and his wife grinning from ear to ear, as people praised him and told him about all the seniors’ discounts he could now claim. Twelve hours later, though, it is still the pictures that keep ﬂashing through my mind. They show heritage, dedication, and a whole lot of barbecuing. And yet I know that behind all those smiling, laughing faces there were moments when things weren’t as rosy. There were moments when even a Roger, the nicest guy you could ever meet, lost his temper. There were moments when he and Heather truly didn’t know what to do with some of their children. There were health problems and family problems and all those things that none of us can escape. And yet, last night Roger and Heather stood with their arms around each other greeting their friends, beaming. It’s a life well-lived. The idea of forty plus years

together with one person seems so daunting. Wouldn’t that get boring? Most of us suffer wanderlust at one time or another. We’re with the same person, day after day, with all these responsibilities, and we wonder, “What would life have been like if I had married my high school boyfriend?” Or we think, “I bet life would be a whole lot more exciting if I were with my coworker, who’s always the life of the party, rather than my husband, who is always grumpy.” We want something new and something exciting, not something that we’ve had everyday for sixteen years, through 1,700 diaper changes, or 2,200 loads of laundry. Life just gets monotonous. The measurement of maturity, though, is whether or not one can forego immediate rewards for delayed gratiﬁcation of better rewards. Too often people throw something away because they want the excitement of something new. Everything new, though, will eventually be old. Unless you want to cycle through constant change your whole life, at some point you’re going to have to decide to commit to someone or something.

Sheila Wray Gregoire Sometimes everyone needs a fresh start if the life they’re living is dangerous, abusive, or degrading. And sometimes we’re thrown into that fresh start through no fault of our own. Yet too often people chuck something just because it’s lost that “newness” feeling. Yes, infatuation is heady, but you know what’s even better? Forty years of friends and family who can stand there when you’re 65 and still say all kinds of great things about you, because you’re still around. You haven’t gone anywhere. You’re with the same people, you’ve invested, and now you’re reaping the rewards. There’s no awkwardness with the kids or grandkids. There are no pictures you have to exclude from a lifetime of memories. There’s just a life well-lived, and that is something exciting.

the atmosphere is friendly but very professional. Folks are expected to be well beyond Gardening 101 level and I have seen the odd “walk-in” sitting in a lecture completely overwhelmed by the technicality of the material being presented. For me, that is a very good thing because that is why I go to the show, along with spending some time in our company’s booth. Don’t worry overly much, Gentle Reader; Canada Blooms in March is the show for you. If you garden, if you sit near a garden, if you sit in a house and look out at a garden, there will be something for you at Blooms. Check this column in about a month and we’ll get gunned up on it. So why would I talk about a trade show in a gardening column? I believe it is vitally important that you realise how concerned your landscapers and nursery suppliers are about the business. We need to offer you the best available, not just in an effort to bury the local competition, but because that is what we’re about. An industry professional, Perry Molema, told us that we are in the business of enhancing our customers’ lives. I’m confident in saying that truly is what most of us are about. Mind you, we do need to make a profit in order to stay in business and that is not a bad thing. Along with the floor exhibits, Landscape Ontario hosts numerous seminars,

lectures and training sessions at this show covering new techniques, new tools, and new laws (especially new laws!) and new plants. Naturally I’m a titch partial to the last one. Next time you chat with a professional green trade lad or lassie ask them about Congress. I think you’ll be surprised at the depth of their answer. Two other shows: Benefit concert Long time readers of The Good Earth are aware of my love of homegrown music. When a show can be combined with a fund-raising event, I do my best to attend. As it happens, I’ll be involved in both of the following: Folk For Haiti: a fund-raiser for the children of Haiti who have become orphans due to natural catastrophes. The first set of music- folk/gospel selections will be presented by The Lenses of which I am a member. The second set will be folk/soft rock as played by RandR, a Brighton duo who are incredibly smooth and talented. Please join us at Trinity Saint Andrews United Church in Brighton, 2 p.m. on January 26. Every penny of the proceeds will be taken directly to Haiti. Dave Gunning: one of Canada’s best singer songwriters from Pictou, Nova Scotia has agreed to give a show in aid of children’s mental health. This young man is a musical story-teller who rivals any of our great Canadian songsters, from Lightfoot to Tyson to Sylvia and mostly John Allan Cameron. By the way, it was his song that won the national challenge. Dave has significantly reduced his performance fee. The show is a non-ticketed event and this is the only mainstream advertising you will see. Seating is limited so please contact me at dan.clost@gmail.com so we can keep track of numbers. Every penny of the proceeds will be divided between a family in dire need of mental health services for a child and the Trenton High School Emergency Fund. King Street United Church,

department at Trenton Memorial Hospital. There will be great prizes for the top fundraising team and winning classic team, along with plenty of great, old fashioned outdoor hockey. CFB Trenton is hoping the community will come out to enjoy the event along with the players. New this year will be various displays on Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. from the OPP and local firefighters. The displays will also feature military

trucks and 24 Squadron will have a Griffin land by the rinks, allowing for the public to view it. The cockpit of a Snowbird will also be on display and the Hockey Hall of Fame is bringing a Team Canada display in honour of the Olympics. To close out the tournament, there will be a Roots of Hockey dinner on January 18, at the National Air Force Museum hosted by Just for Laughs comedian David Hemstad and featuring special guest Mr. Walter Gretzky.

Tickets are $60 a person, and the delicious meal is accompanied by a live and silent auction, live music and door prizes. Cocktail hour beings at 6 p.m., with the dinner puck drop at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at Smylie’s Independent Grocer, Scotiabank Trenton, Scotiabank Trenton Town Square, Batawa Development Corporation and the TMH Foundation.

As well as friends on Facebook her group has the support

of Occupy Canada with a link to its webpage. “It’s not political,” she says. “We have appealed to leaders of all the political parties, but no one has answered us. The only answer we got was from Queen Elizabeth, who told us to contact the Governor General. We haven’t heard from him. Everyone just passes the buck. Nobody takes accountability.” This land was Frank Meyers ancestral home and has been in

Hear the pounding of the drums dience because they’re simply moving to cued dialogue and music... it’s not really theatre.” Taking place on January 18 at 1p.m. in Belleville at Maranatha Church and January 22 at 7 p.m. at Sydenham Street United Church in Kingston, Fubuki Daiko is a taiko drum group that regularly tours North America. Taiko drumming finds its roots in ancient Japanese culture, where it took a variety of forms from marching troops to war to celebrating the harvest, but in modern times is largely a performance art that also includes instruments such as the flute. “To me it’s all part of giving children and families the opportunity to experience art that is unique,” Howe said. “It’s dance, it’s rhythm, it’s beautiful to watch and beautiful to listen to.”

A retired kindergarten teacher, Howe said providing affordable, quality entertainment for children and families is they key tenet for the QCT, and that 2014 already has a promising slate of singers, songwriters, theatre companies and dance companies lined up for performances. While the vast majority of QTC shows are held in Belleville at Maranatha Church, Howe said Fubuki Daiko offered a unique opportunity when they planned Belleville visit. After speaking with group director Hiroshi Koshiyama, Howe was able to arrange for an additional

performance in Kingston on january 22, but was also able to arrange for several school shows for Belleville and Kingston students after speaking with local school principals. Tickets are now on sale for both performances, and cost just $7.50 in advance and $10 at the door. Howe said the low ticket price was thanks to the generous donations of ther sponsors, and the fact that QTC is a non-profit organization with no paid staff. To purchase tickets, visit www.quintechildrenstheatre. ca or call 613-967-0255, ext. 3.

forties and hadn’t told his newly wed wife about this denture. Needless to say, it was quite an embarrassing moment for him. Another patient shared a story about how his denture fell out of his mouth while he was blowing out the candles on his birthday cake. These are scenarios that dentists are happy to eliminate for patients by offering the option of dental implants. Often times, dental implants are the ideal solution for many denture patients, so it is a common recommendation I make for my denture patients. Sometimes they respond saying, “But doctor, I have heard that implants are expensive”. Yes, implants can be expensive. But you will be surprised to know that there are many affordable options available. In many cases, you will get significant improvements over your current dentures with a fee equivalent to or often less than what you would pay for a vacation down south. With monthly payment options that are offered by many dentists, you will be surprised how affordable dental implant therapy can be. Just imagine going on vacation and being able to eat all the foods you want without worrying about your loose dentures. Consider dental implant therapy and you could be smiling confidently all vacation long.

Winnipeg-based taiko drum group Fubuki Daiko will visit Belleville and Kingston later this month.

In our office, we encounter many people who are frustrated with their dentures and are looking for other replacement options. Below is a list of the most common complaints that are experienced by denture wearers: • I cannot eat steak. • I have sore spots • My dentures keep falling out. • I cannot taste food very well. • I gag while wearing my dentures If you are a denture wearer, and are experiencing similar problems with your dentures, you are not alone. In previous articles, we discussed some of the reasons why people have trouble with dentures including continued bone loss after the loss of teeth and movement of the tongue in their mouth. Hence, the nature of dentures often makes them very difficult to utilize. As dentists, we frequently hear stories from individuals about their negative experiences with dentures. My colleague shared a story with me about a patient who lost his denture on his honeymoon while on a cruise after enjoying some beers. The patient was in his early

“Our mission is to perform a community service for primarily senior shutins living in facilities,” says president Garry Campbell. “Through our mini musical concerts, we bring the residents joy, share love and just have plain old fashioned fun!” The Trenton Seniors Glee Club (TSGC) is a group of seniors ranging from 60 to 90, presently consisting of 30 active members. “We practise every Wednesday morning and perform in the afternoon at primarily nursing homes, long term care facilities and retirement residences located within a 55 kilometre radius of Trenton,” he adds. “We perform approximately 44 mini-musical concerts a year with July and August off for a much needed vacation.” Garry says in 2014 the theme of the concerts will change monthly and they are introducing a new rotational booking schedule to enable 22 facilities to get two different concerts a year and see all of them over a five-year time frame. The group has a variety of acts. In addition to the group singing at performances, they also feature soloists, duets, trios, skits and even a comedian. “ A very popular part of our show is audience participation, where residents sing along with us to those golden oldies that everyone knows and loves to remember,” he smiles. “Our shows are like a big family songfest with lots of high energy and enthusiasm.” Garry says several unexpected changes took place in 2013 to enable the club to continue serving the community. “It became necessary due to financial reasons for us to find a new location to practise, and it also became necessary for us to recruit a new pianist,” he says. “We welcome Tibor Csaszar.” The TSGC is now in its 31st season.

Ernie Longden who turned 98 in November, 2013 decided it was time to retire as he was ﬁnding it difﬁcult to get out and about in winter. Ernie resides in the Season’s Dufferin Centre and has not given up singing completely as he is in a group of singers there. Another long-term member is Mabel Whitley who is 94 years young. “Mabel is our only founding member that is still active each week,” Garry says. “Mabel, God bless her, loves to sing for the “young people” in the seniors’ residences and nursing homes.” There are a number of members in their 80s who are active throughout the community in other volunteer positions.

“Any senior, (you know, us older kids with a few character-lines in our faces), that likes to sing and share their talents with other seniors, is welcome to join the TSGC,” Garry adds. “Reading music is not a necessity as noted by Albert Dutﬁeld who lost his sight approximately 35 years

ago.” Contact president Garry Campbell at gcampbell46@ cogeco.ca or phone 613-3943505 or conductor Eileen LeBlance at 613-392-4563 or Joy Cameron, assistant conductor at 613-394-2834 or vice president Paul LeClair at 613-394-5113.

For cat lovers: A visit to Malaysia’s “Cat Museum” By John M. Smith

The entrance to Kuching’s Cat Museum.

Inside Kuching’s Cat Museum.

One of many cat sculptures found in the city of Kuching.

were the first to domesticate cats, and I found out that ancient Egyptians often shaved their eyebrows in mourning when the family cat died. The Egyptians even had a cat goddess, Bastet, who protected crops, made rain and symbolized motherhood. There are some very bizarre cat stories on display within the museum, such as the woman who decided to cremate her dead cat and mix the cat’s ashes into tattoo ink – and she then had a cat sketch tattooed onto her leg! I also discovered that one entire section of the museum was dedicated to the five species of wild cats still found in this part of the world. The museum claims to have the only mounted specimen of the world’s rarest cat, the Felis Badia, which is only found in Borneo’s rain forests. The cat’s significance in music is also ‘noted’ in this museum, for there’s a reference to such songs as “The Cat Came Back” (from the late 1800’s) and “Kitten on the Keys” (a jazz classic from 1921) – and, of course, the famous musical, “Cats” (based on poetry by T.S. Eliot). The Kuching Cat Museum is located in the North City Hall, on Bukit Siol, a hill with a great view of the city. It’s free to visit this unusual,

unique museum, but there’s a charge for using a camera. It’s open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday, including public holidays. You can see the Sarawak River from up here, which used to be the city’s main highway and it’s still very important, for much of present day life is concentrated along this river. I found that the narrow, bustling streets near the river were crammed with ornate temples, markets, historic buildings and traditional shops selling local handicrafts and foods. In addition to the Kuching Cat Museum and the city’s cat statues, you’ll want to check out some other points of interest while visiting this part of Malaysia, including the Chinese Museum (it’s free), a ceramics factory (Sarawak is famous for its unusually decorated earthenware vases of all shapes and sizes), the Sarawak Museum, the Sarawak Cultural Village, and the Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (where I saw endangered orangutans – and wrote about them in a previous article). I discovered that the Kuching Cat Museum was divided into four main galleries – and it certainly contained a lot of entertaining memorabilia and information for any feline aﬁcionado.

Lifestyles - Kuching is the capital of the state of Sarawak on Borneo in Malaysia, and “Kucing” translates as “Cat” in Malay, so it’s rather appropriate that I found a “Cat Museum” in the city of Kuching, Malaysia. Some visitors might ﬁnd this museum to be rather strange, even tacky, but if you’re a cat fan, then this could be the museum for you! It’s indeed, a rather unique museum, perhaps the only one of its kind in the world, and it features over 2,000 feline-related items. It not only contains a plethora of cat statues, photos, posters, jigsaw puzzles and even stamps (for cat loving philatelists) from all over the world, but it also offers a lot of information about the history and importance of cats in various cultures. One of the museum’s galleries has fascinating accounts of the cat’s role in the Chinese, Egyptian, Japanese and Malay societies. For example, I discovered that many Malaysians believe that cats have special supernatural powers, and may bring luck; they’re therefore treated with great respect. Cats are the most popular pet to be found in this country and Kuching has several cat sculptures within the city, especially along the Pandungan Road and along the waterfront, to honour this feline creature. One of the sculptures near the city’s entrance, has a cat standing with its paw stretched out, as if welcoming guests to this city. In the museum itself, one of the posters advocates the importance and reliability of the pet cat in the Malay home: “HE WON’T DO THE DISHES, BUT HE”LL BE THERE WHEN YOU NEED HIM.” As I entered and exited the Kuching Cat Museum, I walked through the giant mouth of a cat, and among the most impressive displays that I found within the museum was a mummiﬁed Egyptian cat that dated back to about 3500 BC. I learned that the ancient Egyptians certainly revered these animals. There was even a period of time when cats were considered so valuable and important that a person who killed a cat could be put to death, too! The Egyptians

Despite their early season struggles the Bulls remain just six points back of the Niagara IceDogs for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, and Burnett said the focus for the remainder of the season would be on improving the teams consistency with an eye to nabbing that eighth seed come playoff time. “We have struggled to put multiple wins together which is why we’re still on the outside of the playoff race looking in right now,” Burnett said “But we’re one good weekend away from being right in the mix for a playoff push.” The Bulls latest chance to close that gap came on Saturday night at the Yardmen Arena in Belleville against the Sudbury Wolves, who entered the game as winners of 13 of their previous 14 games. The Bulls, playing without top defencemen Jake Worrad and Adam Bignell due to injury and without forward Cameron Brace after on OHL suspension, put up a good ﬁght. But they were eventually overwhelmed by the ﬁrst-place Wolves in a 4-2 loss. Belleville goals were scored by Mark Raycroft and Nikki Petti while Brody Morris picked up an assist for the Bulls, who dropped to 12-26-2-2 on the season. Belleville plays Ottawa this weekend in a home-and-home series beginning with a trip to Ottawa Friday. The Bulls host the 67’s Saturday night in Belleville at 7:05 p.m.

Drs Sue and John Marinovich and staff have been serving the dental community of Quinte since 1994.

Belleville – Sports – The OHL trade deadline has come and passed, and after a tumultuous season of trades in Belleville the Bulls stayed mostly quiet outside of a minor goaltending shuffle. In their first of two trades, the Bulls sent a 2016 fifth-round draft pick and a 2014 15th-round draft pick to the Kitchener Rangers to acquire 18year old goaltender and Brampton native Hayden Lavigne. Next, the Bulls sent backup goaltender Jason Da Silva and a 2017 fifth-round pick to Peterborough to acquire goalie Michael Giugovaz from the Petes. Da Silva had started seven games for the Bulls this season, recording a 5.11 GAA and a .854 save percentage in 12 total appearances. Giugoaz, a former 10th round selection of the Petes comes to Belleville sporting a 4.35 GAA and .861 save percentage in 20 appearances this season. “I don’t know that anything has changed because of the trade deadline,” Bulls head coach and general manager George Burnett said. “We made two or three moves during the early part of the season, moves that we felt were necessary to make ourselves a year or two younger as well as recoup most of or more than our draft allotment. We’re in good shape with a returning group and a young team that seems to be improving ... We’re still battling for that consistency but we’re improving every day.”

Paddling Club kicks off fundraising Sports – Quinte West – It’s fun to curl! At least that’s what the Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club hopes will inspire people to sign up for its second annual Funspiel on February 1 at the Trenton Curling Club. “We have members of our club and the curling club participating,” says cochair Robin Pilon. “There are still individual spots available.” She says people can sign up at $60 each (including lunch and prizes) by calling the Chamber of Commerce at 613-392-7635 or emailing her at info@trentonrowingandpaddlingclub. ca for more information.

The Funspiel will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with two four-end games as well as on- and off-ice games. “People can also come and watch,” she adds. “We will be having a silent auction and early bird membership special. They can learn more about the club.” The club is currently waiting for the ice to melt in the river to get paddling. The season runs from midApril to October, weatherdependent. Paddling memberships include lessons, group paddles, paddle excursions, and special events including the Canada Day paddle. “It’s our second season and we have over 50 members,” Robin says.

She notes that the Funspiel funds will go towards youth programming and safety equipment. “We need more canoes, kayaks and sculls,” she says. “We also need life jackets, buckets, tows and whistles for safety.” Anyone interested in getting a head start on the season can take dry land training at the YMCA in a special course put on by the club, or can sign up for the Paddle Smart Training on February 8 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. upstairs at the Trenton Curling Club. The course is free to members or $15 for new members with limited (20) registration. Register to reserve a spot. A signed framed poster

Air Force Museum volunteers restore heritage aircraft By Kate Everson

News – Quinte West – Volunteers working in the back workshop of the National Air Force Museum of Canada are restoring a heritage Anson and a Hudson aircraft. “I’ve been here since 1995,” said Guy Cuerrier, who just turned 82. “I’ve been here since they started working on the Halifax.” Guy was in the air force for 34 years as an instrument technician. He knows just about everything there is to know about aircraft. John Dogger is another volunteer, working on the Hudson. He has been here since 1998, also working on the Halifax. “I was a civil engineer,” he said. “I built bridges.” Talented guys like these are what makes the restoration of heritage aircraft possible. What parts they don’t have they either find or make. “There are 750,000 rivets on the Halifax,” Guy smiles. Former millwright Derek Palidwar is busy at the lathe making parts to fit the aircraft. He has been working in the back for five years. Newcomer Justin Daniels is helping find parts for the Hudson. Paul Botting is restoration workshop manager and he keeps an eye on everything. “Wednesday is the busiest day,” he says. “We have 25 volunteers altogether.” He said the 1942 Lockheed Hudson Mark 6 came in from Alberta with no wings or tail. “We get parts from all over,” he said. He noted the bomber trainer was also used in the first air-sea rescue. The Avro Anson Mark 2, also 1942 vintage, came from a museum in Alberta, just pieces and a shell. The wood was all rotted away and they have to make new wings and a tail out of 1/16 plywood with fabric stretched over it. “We use an iron to put on the fabric,” notes Guy. The Anson is expected to take six years to complete.

“We’re about three quarters done,” says Paul. “It depends on the volunteers.” He notes the completed Anson will not be going outside in the Air Park since it has wood on it. They will have

to take it all apart and drag it piece by piece into the museum and put it together again, to be on display beside the Halifax, because the doors are too small. The Hudson is about 40 per cent complete and will take at least another three

years to restore. Guy says he is proud of what the volunteers have accomplished. It took 12 years to restore the Halifax, brought in pieces from a lake in Norway. “I can’t believe we did it,” he smiled.

“We feel a lot of pride.” Guy said not all the pieces of the Halifax were recovered. They needed one piece that sank to the bottom of the lake. They found a similar piece in western Please see “Heritage” on page B2

Scotland. “A lady was using it for a chicken coop,” he smiled. “She sold it to us for 20 pounds.” He said the military sent a Hercules to bring the missing piece home. When Guy walks around the fully restored Halifax now, he clearly knows every little part of it. He points to the bomb bay, which has a white canister in it. “That was used to drop food and supplies to the resistance,” he explains. “It had a parachute on it.” Another little piece of information he shared was that the popular band ABBA disbanded because they discovered that one of the singers was of German descent. At the base of the Halifax are two model airplanes, one of a Lancaster and another the Halifax. “The Lanc had a liquid cooled engine and the Halifax was air-cooled,” Guy notes. He said Canada used Lancasters to help map the Arctic after the war. The only two flyable ones now are in Hamilton and England. As he rounds the Halifax he points to a door near the roundel (in the middle) where the crew would enter. He lifts the hatch to show an opening almost big enough for a person to step inside. Unfortunately, no one is allowed in. The work done by volunteers is crucial to the air force museum. Helping to raise funds through the foundation is a raffle on a 1987 Jaguar XJ two-door cabriolet, now on display. To get a ticket see foundation@airforcemuseum.ca or call 613-965-7314. You may not be able to get inside the Halifax, but this car would send you flying!

Lifestyles - They are one of natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most mysterious and romanticized creatures, and on Thursday, January 23 the public is invited to take an inside look at the lives of the Eastern Wolf during the first installment of the Hastings Stewardship Council 2014 Winter Speaker Series. Taking place at the Township of Thurlow Community Centre at 516 Harmony Rd., north of Belleville at 7 p.m., â&#x20AC;&#x153;Understanding the Eastern Wolfâ&#x20AC;? is a presentation by Dr. Linda Rutledge of Trent University. Dr. Rutledge received her Ph.D. in Environmental and Life Sciences at Trent University and currently Rutledge leads the Eastern Wolf Survey, which is a research project taking place in southern Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Provincial Parks, including Frontenac, Bon Echo, Kawartha Highlands and others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to do is collect non-invasive samples like scat and hair and things like that to get genetic profiles of different canis animals in southern Ontario,â&#x20AC;? Rutledge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we can genotype them and identify which are eastern wolves and which are eastern coyotes... by doing that we can actually track their dispersal and their persistence and

hybridization.â&#x20AC;? Rutledge said the study area is essentially south of Kilarney Provincial Park, which lies on the north shore of Georgian Bay. While eastern wolves are common in Algonquin Park they occur less frequently as researchers head farther south, and Rutledge said the animals tend to congregate in â&#x20AC;&#x153;protected areasâ&#x20AC;? and avoid areas of heavy human population like Belleville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They tend to congregate in protected areas and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive very well outside those areas,â&#x20AC;? Rutledge said. The Eastern Wolf survey was funded in part by an Ontario species at risk stewardship grant in 2014, and Rutledge said a large part of that funding had to do with public outreach. With the status of the eastern wolf expected to be raised from â&#x20AC;&#x153;special concernâ&#x20AC;? in the coming years Rutledge said a concerted effort is being made to make the public aware of the importance of the animal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to connect the science with the general public, with the idea that as the status of the eastern wolf is revamped we want people to be knowledgeable about eastern wolves and the importance of top predators on the landscape,â&#x20AC;? Rutledge said.

Rutledge explained that her field deals with the genetics of the animals and that many of her answers during the roughly 45-minute presentation will delve into that field to attempt to explain the behavioural and evolutionary paths of wildlife populations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking a lot of the genetics, and trying to take 10 years of my life and trying to boil it into 45 minutes,â&#x20AC;? she laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Understanding the Eastern Wolfâ&#x20AC;? is the first in the 2014 Winter Speaker Series hosted by The Hastings Stewardship Council. Evening presentations to follow include: 1) Emily Conger and Leora Berman on the Biodiversity Project, 2) Don McCabe, VP of Ontario Federation of Agriculture, on the Stewardship of Soils, and 3) Terry Sprague and Bea Hiessler on Naturalization for Wildlife. For further information about the council visit hastingsstewardship.ca. There is no cost for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under- Photos such as this one snapped by wildlife photographer Michael Runtz of Eastern Wolves in Algonquin Park will make up a standing the Eastern Wolf,â&#x20AC;? but large visual portion of the Understanding the Eastern Wolf event taking place on January 23.

IN MEMORIAM

On January 6 in Brighton, aged 92. Predeceased by husband Waldemar (Val). Mother of Kenneth (Gail) and Sylvia (Terry) and grandmother of Jeffrey, Liam and Meaghan. Ruth was born in Germany and trained in textile engineering. During World War II, she worked as a journalist in occupied Poland.

After Val retired, the couple moved to Burlington, ON and later to Brighton, ON. Ruth was a painter and writer. In 2009, she published Journey to Peace, an autobiographical novel of the life of ordinary Germans under the Nazi regime. Many thanks to the staff at Applefest Lodge and to Dr. Iris Noland for their excellent care. Donations may be made in Ruth’s memory to Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation. CL496788

Donald P. Shanahan Dec. 16, 1944 – Jan. 17, 2012 When everything is dark, when we are surrounded by despairing voices, when we do not see any exits, then we can find salvation in a remembered love, a love which is not simply a recollection of a bygone past but a living force which sustains us in the present. Through memory, love transcends the limits of time and offers hope at any moment of our lives. Lovingly remembered always, Kathryn, Steve, Meghan, Ian and Molly

Getting psyched for the 22nd annual Polar Bear Plunge in Campbellford

Earl McLean, right, joined Ken and Ginette Dehne, as their best man, when they took the plunge at least year’s fundraising event, renewing their wedding vows and raising money for the Campbellford Hospital Auxiliary. McLean has participated in the plunge, almost every year, since 1994, two years after it was started. Photo: Sue Dickens By Sue Dickens

News – Campbellford – “If you psych yourself up for it it’s not too bad,” said Earl McLean, who is preparing to again leap into the frigid waters of the Trent River for the 22nd annual Polar Bear Plunge. “When you first go in it takes your breath away . . . actually you can’t breathe,” he admitted with a big grin. “My first plunge was in 1994. I’ve

done it 12 or 13 times since then,” said this long-time supporter of the plunge. “I remember we had to cut a hole through the ice. It had been a really cold winter. The ice was 11 inches thick and it took three-and-a-half hours with chain saws,” he explained. Whether wearing a hula skirt, zombie costume, a shirt and tie (and long johns) or just shorts, he continues to support the fundraising plunge with zeal.

This year he will be participating with his niece Charmaine McLean and her daughter Kelly Redden. “My brother Jimmy who jumped with me in 1994 will be taking the plunge too,” said McLean, whose wife Sharon will be there videotaping the event. McLean has raised, on average $1,000 to $2,000 each year. “The ratio to dollars is very good. It’s an easy way to raise money. I just tell people you can either jump with me or sponsor me . . . I usually get the money,” he added laughing. The plunge is organized by the Campbellford Hospital Auxiliary which this year is putting the money towards a central monitoring station upgrade and portable vital signs monitor. Total cost is about $58,000. “We’re getting close,” said Sharon Apted, this year’s polar convenor. “This is my fourth year as a member of the Campbellford Hospital Auxiliary and the first project I’ve taken on, on my own,” she told the Trent Hills Independent. “I help with the bazaar, tag days and ticket sales and volunteer in the gift shop,” she added. “I joined the auxiliary because I felt this is something I can really believe in . . . for the hospital.” The Chilly Willies, a.k.a. John Russell, executive director of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation and Maurice Goulet, manager of the hospital’s laboratory, did

the Penguin walk much to the delight of the crowd last year. They plan on doing it again. “We are just trying to support the cause and help in as many ways as we can,” he said. Newcomer to the plunge is Tonya McColl-Smith of Hastings, a member of a Peterborough women’s roller derby team. “There will be about five of us, including Marnie Guindon of Campbellford. We are called the Amazons,” she explained. “The more people that know about our team the more they will support us. Our team wants to support the hospital and different foundations so it’s a winwin,” she added. “This was my idea . . . I am already regretting it,” she said jokingly. “I don’t do cold well especially when in fish nets and derby shorts,” she added laughing. “I plan on Googling hints for going into the cold water.” This year’s Polar Bear Plunge will take place Saturday, January 25 at noon at Lions Beach in Campbellford. Anyone wanting to sponsor McLean can call 613-328-2106 or drop donations off at the Campbellford Legion, Branch 103, where he will DJ for a dance later the same day, to raise more money. Plungers can call 705-778-2142 to register.

Marnie Guindon, Tonya McColl-Smith, and other members of the Jamazons, a roller derby team based in Peterborough, will be taking part in the Polar Bear Plunge later this month for the first time. As of last Friday, 20 teams had signed up for the January 25 event. The proceeds will be used toward the purchase of a portable signs monitor at Campbellford Memorial Hospital, and an upgrade to the central monitoring system. Photo: John Campbell

HBM backs Trent Hills mayor’s attack on hydro rate hikes

Sign ign up for

“It’s just one thing after another,” added Larry Ellis. “It’s getting to the point where people can’t afford it. I think we’re right on to write a resolution.” “They have to be more accountable,” Martin said. “The way your bills are going today for hydro you’ll never be able to afford it.” “It’s out of control,” Gerow said. “They’re going to have to do something.” He noted that propane costs have also shot up 35 per cent in the past three months. He said we’ll get the real picture when people have their hydro turned off because they can’t afford the bills.

HBM Mayor Ron Gerow also took aim at comments Peterborough MPP and Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal made on the proposed hikes. Gerow said that Leal suggested that Ontario still had some of the best hydro rates in the country compared to other jurisdictions. Mayor Gerow said he was “disgusted” by that assessment. “I intend to tell him that,” he said. “It was not the right political answer and in real life it was not the right answer at all.” Gerow wanted a resolution that would put the province “on notice that the increases in hydro over the next four years are not only not sustainable they are not manageable.” The resolution, which will be circulated at Peterborough County council and to other municipalities, will ask that an “independent review” of Hydro One be undertaken. “We need to take a look at the overall costs of operating and providing electricity to the residents of Ontario at affordable rates that are sustainable,” Gerow said. “I don’t know about anybody else but I can’t afford to pay 40 per cent more. I know there are a lot of folks out there who are on the edge.” The municipality itself will struggle with increases like that, he added. “If we just sit back and do absolutely nothing this will unfold.” “It seems like they really don’t care,” said Councillor Barry Pomeroy.

R0012500711

News – Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan got it absolutely right when he went on the offensive and attacked a projected 42 per cent hike in hydro costs over the next ﬁve years, says Havelock-BelmontMethuen council. Township council agreed to pass a resolution during their regular meeting Monday decrying the “unsustainable and unmanageable” mess hydro rates have become. Councillors were particularly blunt when it came to assessing the damage a more-than 40 per cent rate hike will have on local ratepayers, businesses and the municipality itself. “The overall business plan they have isn’t going to work, it’s going to selfdestruct,” Councillor Jim Martin said. Martin, like others, praised the frontline Hydro One employees who worked tirelessly under “extreme conditions” to get power back on to scores of thousands of Ontarians who lost power during the recent ice storm. The problem doesn’t lie there, he said. Mayor Macmillan was authorized by Trent Hills council to write to the Ontario Ombudsman protesting the dramatic escalation in rates embedded in the provincial government’s socalled long-term energy plan. Under the plan, rates will increase 33 per cent over the next three years and within ﬁve years they will jump 42 per cent for the average family.

Dear Neighbour: This is great news for your wallet if your furnace is over 10 years old… you can actually replace your old (and probably very ine cient) furnace and air conditioner as a package for less than you would have to pay at any other time of the year. Every year, the months of January, February and March can “be tough” on my business. I can end up losing money during these “long tough”months and it can take me the remaining nine months to make up for them. My Problem Is An Excellent Opportunity For You Every year, the big manufacturers of air conditioners and furnaces have to forecast how many to build to meet the demand. Of course, they’re never exactly right. So, they often have additional inventory. And, because of the quantity and time of year, we were able to negotiate directly with the manufacturer for reduced pricing if we purchased in volume. The other condition was that we had to take the matching air conditioner as well. This special negotiating is why it becomes an excellent opportunity for you. They are brand new models and they are NOT the seconds or “blems” or standard “builder” models. They are factory-fresh, premium air conditioners and furnaces and have a full factory warranty.**

So, if you buy one of these 89 new premium air conditioner packages (but only if one of the four sizes I have will t your house, of course), I am ”giving” you the matching furnace and all I ask for is the $1,979† in labour and material and overhead it costs for installation.
