Mayor Macmillan set to once again battle cancer

By John Campbell

Trent Hills – Mayor Hector Macmillan has beaten cancer once and he’s vowing to do it again.

Adopting a defiant tone during his mayor’s comments at council’s Feb. 2 meeting, Macmillan addressed rumours going around town about his health: “Do I look like a dying man to you? Do I look like a guy who’s getting ready for my final days on this planet?”

Macmillan said he isn’t planning for his final days, but he did reveal he is facing a “new challenge.” He didn’t specify then what it was but said in an interview later he received confirmation the first week of January he has pancreatic cancer.

Macmillan, who is 57, survived esophageal cancer five years ago with a combination of chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

“I have every expectation, along with my doctors, ... that I will take this challenge on again and I will beat it, with the help of this community that has been so supportive of me in the past,” he told council.

“With the news that I have received lately that’s an extreme-

ly positive thing that I expect to do.”

Macmillan said he would have “more information in six to eight weeks in that regard,” adding: “I ain’t going anywhere fast, I’ll tell you that. I’ll be kicking and screaming all the way.”

“That’s good to hear,” Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan said of Macmillan’s determined show to overcome his latest challenge.

“Like I said before, you think this is tough, try building a bridge,” the mayor quipped, drawing laughs with his reference to years of effort on his part to get Campbellford a second main bridge.

“It’s a new cancer I’m taking head-on, as I did in the past, and I have every intention of beating it,” Macmillan told Trent Hills News when asked for more details about his health.

He was reluctant at first to reveal it was pancreatic cancer, but opened up and talked about his reaction to getting the news he has cancer once again.

“I feel a little cheated on why I should have to go through the two worst cancers you can get,” Macmillan said.

He went to his doctor after experiencing back pains for several months.

“I was writing it off to other things, [such as aging], it wasn’t serious back pain,” he said.

“But it was when I noticed that it was distinctively worse after eating that I got concerned.”

Being told it was pancreatic cancer didn’t surprise him as a result of the research he had done, but he was “disappointed.”

According to Pancreatic Cancer Canada, the disease is the fourth leading cause of cancerrelated death in Canada and “has the highest mortality rate of all the major cancers” – 92 per cent of patients die within five years of their diagnosis, 75 per cent within the first year.

“Patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer are encouraged to seek out clinical trials to improve pancreatic cancer treatment.”

Macmillan is encouraged he can beat the odds with the new chemotherapy regimen he’s receiving known as Folfirinox.

It’s “having huge successes” in shrinking the tumour “sufficiently enough that [it can be] Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan survived cancer once and he’s determined to beat the disease a second time while continucut out.” ing to serve as head of council. “I’m not a quitter,” he said.

Council approves 1.8 per cent increase in taxes for residential properties

Mayor Macmillan set to once again battle cancer Continued from page 16

On Monday he goes to Kingston for his third treatment.

“I’ll know more once the chemo treatments are done [in six to eight weeks],” he said.

He goes for a treatment every two weeks.

“It’s a very heavy dose,” Macmillan said. “The first week afterwards is pretty tough.”

The mayor became emotional when talking about word he had received through his wife Sandy that “practically every church in Trent Hills is once again looking after me ... It’s great to know there are people out there supporting you.”

Asked if he had thought of resigning as mayor, Macmillan replied: “No, that’s never crossed my mind.

By John Campbell

The last [cancer], I would say the treatments were worse. I will continue to do my job as I have always done. I’m not a quitter.”

Macmillan addressed another rumour out there: he and his wife are not leaving the gas bar they’ve operated for more than 23 years because of his health.

“We knew for five years that there was a good chance that our lease would not be renewable, that’s why we bought another business [the bowling lanes across the street],” he said.

“We’re really having a lot of fun.”

The Macmillans will cease operating the gas bar the end of February.

“I understand that it has been sold,” and that “it will continue on,” he said.

D A E R SP

Trent Hills – Council has approved a $17.6 million budget that will increase taxes on the average residential property by 1.8 per cent.

For the owner of a property with an assessed value of $215,000 in 2015, the tax rate hike will result in a bill of $1,654.73 for 2016, an increase of $29.22.

But that’s for a property with no change in its assessment, “which is quite rare,” treasurer and director of finance Valerie Nesbitt admitted in her presentation of the 2016 draft budget to council Feb. 2.

Noting that the current value assessment for properties has been phased in over four years by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation, she said the same property may have increased in value by $7,000, which would raise its municipal taxes by $53.88, or 3.31 per cent, to $1,708.61.

The impact on each property “will vary because of the impact of their individual assessment change,” she stressed.

The taxes are for municipal purposes only, and do not include what Trent Hills will collect on behalf of the province (for education) and Northumberland County.

The rate hike will generate an additional $580,584 for the municipality, raising the total amount it will collect through its tax levy to $11.5 million.

Trent Hills treasurer and director of finance Valerie Nesbitt said the 2016 municipal budget she and staff put together strikes a balance between what needs to be done and what taxpayers can afford. The 1.8 per cent tax rate increase is “fair,” she said. Photo by John Campbell

plained several factors contributed to a higher amount being required, such as higher wages and benefits, changes to staffing within the roads department for part-time/seasonal hours, an increase in remuneration for firefighters, and additional hours in parks and recreation facilities.

One of the larger increases, she said, was for benefit carrier premiums, which went up “significantly,” but insurance premiums, on the other hand, have fallen by $45,000, which Mayor Hector Macmillan was glad to see, as “they’ve been hitting us hard over the last few years,” he said.

Trent Hills’ allocation from the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund increased by $189,200 to $2,836,100.

Bennett recommended that $100,000 be set aside for future projects

“deemed appropriate” by council and $40,000 for downtown revitalization, the municipality’s 50 per cent share of a project should its application for a Rural Economic Development Program grant be approved.

Policing costs are decreasing for the second year under the new OPP billing model but the municipality will “transfer the net difference” to reserves “to mitigate the impact” of possible increases in future, Bennett said.

Capital spending is forecast at $2,578,548 with the roads department to get the lion’s share at $1,918,548; its three biggest expenditures are resurfacing ($457,526), repairs to bridges ($250,000) and a new tandem plow/ sander ($240,000).

In response to a query by Councillor Bill Thompson who wondered if a 1.8 per cent increase was adequate, Nesbitt said it’s “fair” and one she is “comfortable with,” knowing the needs of the municipality, in particular its asset management plan, “far surpass what we could ever tax for.”

There are numerous other projects that could be funded “but it’s not probably practical from the taxpayers’ perspective,” she said.

Macmillan said he was “really pleased” with the budget, which staff began working on last September, without direction from council.

It was “quite a test and a leap of faith” to leave it to staff to draft the budget on their own, he said, and they did “a great job.”

The modest increase “is about as low as I can recall in my time on council,” he said. “It’s a good year for Trent Hills.”

Formal approval of the budget in the form of a bylaw is scheduled for council’s next meeting Feb. 16, when the public will have an opportunity to comment on what it contains.

Music warms cool January night

By Bill Freeman

Havelock – Music has the power to warm up even the coldest nights and that’s what the Havelock Jammers and Next Generation Seaboyer Band did Friday night. The two groups took the chill out of a long January evening as they performed at the annual Celebrate Havelock wine and cheese social at the Havelock Lions Community Hall which the volunteer organization hosts for some of its sponsors and vendors.

This year’s wine and cheese gala drew one of the largest crowds ever, on hand for a casual night of socializing and looking ahead to Celebrate Havelock’s ninth annual show on May 7 when the weather will be decidedly more appealing.

Entertainment is always a big part of Celebrate Havelock and organizers

HERITAGE WEEK 2016 FEBRUARY 15-21 Trent Hills has proclaimed February 15-21, 2016 as Heritage Week.

This year Ontario is showcasing the history of medical science and innovation in the Province.

In Trent Hills it is an opportunity to reflect on the contributions of the Doctors, Apothecaries, Nurses, Midwives and others involved in medical science who contributed in the settlement and development of Trent Hills.

A key component of that history is the development of a Hospital in Campbellford. There are references to a private hospital as early as 1918. The need for medical services eventually led to the development of Campbellford Memorial Hospital beginning in 1945 with eventual opening in 1953. It was supported by and served the Trent Hills community since that time and now serves an area well beyond the boundaries of Trent Hills.

The Municipality encourages you to consider the history of medical science and innovation during Heritage Week 2016.

for HS. He says HS is often diagnosed as boils.

Most doctors are unaware of the condition. Statistics indicate a person may see five different doctors over 17 visits, spanning eight years, before being diagnosed.

Woods had been taking treatment from a rheumatologist over the past 30 years for a spinal condition, using various anti-inflammatories and antibiotics, which he believes masked the presence of HS. A nurse practitioner in Madoc suggested he see a dermatologist. Since then the two doctors collaborated to use Humira for both his HS and rheumatoid issues. The change in medication gave Woods 80 to 90 per cent relief of HS symptoms.

Woods has been speaking publicly about HS and advocating a swift approval of Humira in Ontario so it can be put on the public drug plan list and be approved by OHIP. The cost of the drug Woods say is very high. He has a drug plan from work, but for others it is a burden to purchase.

11 years, used to treat at least eight other conditions.

It was federally approved for HS treatment by Health Canada on Jan. 6, after acceptance by the Canadian Food and Drug Administration and European Commission. It is all ready approved in the USA. Shear says Canadian statistics are poor when it comes to HS, and OHIP has not allowed a specific code to define it when diagnosed.

Eileen Murphy of AbbVie said prior to a compliance approval Dec. 31, the Humira file for treating HS was submitted to the agency for drugs and technology in health for review, then must be evaluated for pricing which may take a few months.

Though HS is a valid, recognized condition in certain provinces, there is no billing code for it. Some provinces have a complex disease billing code used by doctors, but, in Ontario, HS is not part of that list.

Meanwhile, she says, those patients needing Humira HS, who have public coverage, may be able to get reimbursed through case-by-case requests.

Broad interest and support for Tweed’s refugee sponsorship project

By Brett Mann Tweed - “We put out 40 chairs but I see they’re having to bring out more,” said Anna Lounsberry, part of a communications team for the Tweed Refugee Sponsorship Committee at a recent public information evening.

“It’s a good turnout already,” she remarked as the crowd in the Tweed Agriculture Building continued to grow.

Organizers included, about 60 people attended the event.

Lounsberry, who has a professional media background, facilitated the meeting and explained the format.

“We’re going to do a brief introduction of who we are. Stephen [Reverend Stephen Brown] is going to speak for ten minutes. I’m going to be his timekeeper,” she says with a laugh. “Each group member is going to get up and introduce themselves really quickly, and then we’re going to have tables set up where people can come around and then we’re going to wrap that up with a general question session.”

Six tables along the sides of the room were dedicated to various facets of the committee’s work such as education, housing, fundraising and volunteers.

The purpose of the evening was to answer questions and dispel rumours about the project said Lounsberry.

Reverend Brown noted the committee began as several “little groups aiming to help the refugees from Syria. Don DeGenova, one of our councillors saw this and decided to pull us

all together into the same room. We were all about to march off in different directions on our own. Don made sure we all marched off together.”

Reverend Brown attended the first meetings and was a bit skeptical. “I thought this was a bit ambitious for Tweed. At the end of the day, most if not all of us came out with the idea that this was a good thing to do.”

Sponsoring a Syrian refugee family will be the task of the whole municipality of Tweed, not just the village, he added. But, “We’re going to settle them in the village for a very practical reason - so they can have the independence to walk to the store.”

He acknowledged that a refugee family might eventually wish to move on to a larger centre, but felt that Tweed would make a very good “nest”. He observed, “What better place to get used to Canada? This is a good place to learn to be a Canadian.”

The sponsorship project will have benefits for Tweed as well, Reverend Brown hoped. “We’ll have a human face put to the news. We’re small but mighty.”

Bert Hielema of the finance committee drew chuckles from the audience when he spoke of moving to Tweed from St. Catharine’s 40 years ago, where most people seemed to have discernible accents. “One thing that struck me … in Tweed everybody talked the same.” Barbara Goode, one of three members of the communications team said they were working

hard to keep people informed through public service announcements, fact sheets, an “info pack for the library” and social media. The group’s Facebook page provides many links to “the greater picture” she advised.

Linda Yorke of the housing committee reported they were “coming close” in their search for a home for a family of four with two young children, “but there’s nothing I can really say tonight.”

Marianne Dolan from the volunteers’ committee said they will require drivers for trips to Belleville and elsewhere and they will have to get police background checks needed for working with vulnerable individuals. Rasa Baltutis spoke for the three-member education committee saying, “The top priority is learning English.” There is a “real difference” in education levels in Syria between urban and rural populations she noted.

Secretary Lynda Van Will cited the

extensive screening the refugee family will have been through saying “they probably have been in a refugee camp for three or four years … they have been checked and re-checked.

We don’t have to worry about terrorists coming to Tweed.”

Questions from the floor indicated general public support and acceptance of the sponsorship program. “We are all here together to help bring a family on a safe journey to peace and freedom in the community of Tweed,” said Lounsberry.

North Korea’s deterrent

Here we go again. North Korea launched a ballistic missile of intercontinental range on Sunday (saying it was just putting up a satellite) only weeks after it carried out its fourth nuclear weapons test (which it claimed was a hydrogen bomb). The United Nations Security Council condemned it, Gwynne Dyer strongly and even the People’s Republic of China, North Korea’s only ally, expressed its “regret” at what the country had done.

There will certainly now be more UN sanctions against Kim Jong-un’s isolated regime. But there have already been four rounds of UN military and economic sanctions since North Korea’s first nuclear test in 2006, and Pyongyang just ignores them.

Clearly, this is something that the North Korean regime wants so badly that it is willing to endure considerable punishment in order to get it. But why is this very poor country spending vast sums in order to be able to strike its neighbours – and even the United States, for that is what the intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) are about – with nuclear weapons?

Well, here’s a clue. What the North Korean government said after last month’s hydrogen bomb test was this: “The DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) is a genuine peace-loving state which has made every effort to protect peace on the Korean Peninsula and security in the region from the vicious US nuclear war scenario.

“The US is a gang of cruel robbers that has worked hard to bring even a nuclear disaster to the DPRK. By succeeding in the H-bomb test ... the DPRK proudly joined the advanced ranks of nuclear weapons states ... and the Korean people demonstrated the spirit of a dignified nation equipped with the most powerful nuclear deterrent.”

Never mind the stilted rhetoric and gutter abuse; North Korean propagandists always talk like that.

Listen to the key words that are almost buried under the surrounding invective. North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, they say, is meant to “protect ... the region from ... the US ... nuclear war scenario” by creating a “most powerful nuclear deterrent.”

Really? Do they actually fear that the United States might use nuclear weapons on them, and that they can only be safe if they have their own hydrogen bombs and ICBMs? Are they doing all this purely as a defensive measure?

However bad-tempered and impulsive they sounded, the men of the Kim family, father, son and grandson, who have ruled North Korea in dynastic succession for the past 68 years were not crazy. They never started a war, because they knew they would lose it, and the current incumbent is certainly not going to start a nuclear war.

He would have to be crazy to do that. North Korea lacks the resources to build more than a few bombs a year, and it does not have the technologies to ensure that the missiles it may one day have won’t get shot down. It will probably never be able to guarantee that it can strike even South Korea or Japan with nuclear missiles, let alone the United States.

Everybody in the North Korean hierarchy (along with some millions of other North Koreans) would certainly be dead only hours after the regime launched nuclear weapons at any of those countries. The United States has literally thousands of nuclear weapons. It would take only a few dozen quite small ones to virtually exterminate the entire ruling elite, and North Korea would have no way of stopping them.

A few not-very-high-tech nuclear weapons would give Pyongyang no usable ability to launch a nuclear attack against the United States or its allies. They would, however, give it a pretty credible nuclear deterrent.

Launching a few nuclear weapons against a major nuclear power is suicidal, but those same few weapons can be a perfectly good deterrent against a nuclear attack by that same power, because they give the weaker party a capacity for “revenge from the grave.” Even a country as powerful as the United States will behave very cautiously when faced with the possibility that an opponent might land even one or two nuclear weapons on its territory.

North Korea has lived under the implicit threat of US nuclear weapons for almost seven decades, and the United States has never promised not to use its those weapons against it. It’s almost surprising that we haven’t seen North Korean nuclear weapons before now.

North Korea is just doing the same thing that Pakistan did in the 1980s and 90s out of fear of Indian nuclear weapons, and that Iran was doing in fear of both Pakistani and Israeli nuclear weapons in the last 15 years.

The Security Council is quite right to try to block North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, and the successful use of international sanctions to stop Iran offers some hope that it may succeed. But North Korea is not a crazy state plotting a nuclear holocaust at the cost of its own extinction. Its nuclear weapons program is a perfectly rational – although highly undesirable – policy for a small country with a big problem.

You can’t mush in the mush Editorial - Chris Malette It was yet another announcement among the flurry of warnings these past weeks that ice is unsafe, heavy rainfall is expected (in February!) and Toronto set a record for plus 16 last week.

A crappy winter season has caused the cancellation of the planned Cops `n Kids ice fishing derby being planned by Belleville Police for Feb. 13.

“The recent weather has made the ice unsafe and we can’t take any chances of injury,” said Const. Pat Comeau, the organizer.

And on it goes.

The official word from places like the Weather Channel was this: “Winter will be milder than normal across much of Canada. This rings especially true for Canadians living across the Prairies and into northern Ontario ..

“For those Canadians living in southern Ontario to Atlantic Canada, it will be considerably milder than the past two winters.”

No kidding, Sherlock.

But, the experts expect “an extended period of classic winter during the second half of the season, which should result in near normal for the winter as a whole…”

Okay, snowmobilers, cross-country skiers, winter resorts, ski clubs, ice fishing enthusiasts, outdoor shinny players – any number of people who love a classic Canadian winter are still waiting for the return of Old Man Winter.

Take our friends at Marmora’s SnoFest who have had to postpone the event’s famed dog sled races until the Feb. 27-28 weekend. They’re hoping against hope that the winds will blow some snow our way to carry on a classic event that’s been a Centre Hastings staple for decades.

The festival went ahead with its other events last weekend, however, and answered this question on its website: “Why doesn’t SnoFest postpone all events so that they all run on the same weekend as the races?”

“The biggest reason is how much work has gone into organizing this weekend. We have secured permits, booked talent, gotten

approval to close down a street, confirmed volunteers, and paid for media while managing our website and social media to keep everyone up-to-date. And that doesn’t even include the work that has gone into preparing for the races. There are, at least, seven different organizing teams running the events. All volunteers. All who have been working for the past few months to pull this together.

“With all that being said, you can see how it would be a massive undertaking to move the events that aren’t weather dependent to another weekend. We also, don’t have confirmation that the races will be able to run on our rain date either. So all could be for naught. “(Yes), the turnout would be better if the races were on, people love the dogs. And people travel for the dogs. But, this is something we will have to get used to in the coming years. There is always going to be cancelations when you depend on the perfect winter weather. What we are trying to do as a board is make the event sustainable and non-reliant on the weather. And I think, with our increase in programming, we are moving in that direction.

There it is: “This is something we will have to get used to in the coming years…”

Climate change deniers aside (and there are fewer and fewer of them as science is irrefutable on this point), we’re in for some wholesale changes in the way our winters come to us.

Who among us can’t recall butt-deep snow from November to March in most of these parts in winters of 30 or so years past?

Like it or not, we’re on a precipice of the change in our weather and things we took for granted for a good `ol Canadian winter may indeed be on the wane.

But, until then, let’s pray for snow for the skiers and mushers and a good coat of ice for the ice fishers and snowmobiling crowds.

After all, Old Man Winter is also a boost to many a pocketbook in this region and a mushy winter is no boon to any of those people.

LTC roundtable ‘good’ but ‘time to turn up volume’ Havelock – Champions of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen’s bid for a long-term care home are prepared to take buses to Queen’s Park if necessary to shake up the process of bringing a 128-bed facility to the municipality, says Mayor Ron Gerow.

Mayor Gerow and council hosted a “round table” meeting with some key partners including Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal to shine more light on the HBM’s longstanding application submitted to the government in 2011.

“It’s time to turn up the volume,” Gerow said candidly at the meeting which included a representative from developers AON Inc., which has been working closely with HBM on proposals for the 18 acre property along Old Norwood Road which is zoned with services in place for a LTC facility and ancillary options like supportive and affordable housing with a possible satellite dialysis unit.

Officials from the Central East LHIN and Peterborough Housing were also on hand.

“It’s good to have dialogue.

(We) had an opportunity to get some things off our chest that have been bothering us for a long time,” Gerow said.

The project would draw from the eastern part of Peterborough County, parts of Northumberland and Hastings County and Gerow hinted strongly that residents across the region are prepared to “mount buses to make it a very political issue.”

It’s not a road he wants to go down but the township is tired of inaction.

If things don’t move forward “there’s going to be another process that will be political.

We’re serious.

“The need is well-established.

We don’t need to waste time on that.”

The “key message” they want Leal to pass on to Premier Kathleen Wynne and Health Minister Dr. Eric Hoskins is that HBM is “frustrated” over the nearly half-decade campaign.

Gerow has spoken to the Premier about the issue. Wynne has a cottage in the township and has a standing invitation to tour the site.

“We can’t keep on talking about this. We need to see something happen.”

HBM is ready to work with all “stakeholders” to “expedite the whole process.”

The total number of licensed beds in the Central East LHIN’s northeast cluster is 2,607 with a waitlist of 4,239. In Peterborough City-County there are 1,058 licensed beds and a waiting list of 2,718.

“These numbers are real and they’re real people,” said Gerow. “That’s what we’ve lost track of.”

“You can play with numbers all you want,” added DeputyMayor Jim Martin. “You see a spouse looking after a person who should be in long-term care and you often see that person gone before the person who should be in LTC. It’s dragging the whole system down.”

“There’s hardly a family in this community that isn’t touched by this,” added Councillor David Gerow.

“I see this as a situation of us not looking after our own,” Councillor Hart Webb said.

“These are citizens of our country who need to be taken care of.

The municipality spent $200,000 on the property and more to have it zoned and ser-

viced. Peterborough County oversaw a $2 million upgrade along nearby County Road 30; HBM is planning further infrastructure work and has even budgeted for architectural

work.

“It’s time for the province to do their part,” said Gerow.

HBM will meet with Associate Minister of Health Dipika Damerla later this month.

Water rates rising by two per cent in 2016

By John Campbell Trent Hills – Water and wastewater rates in Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth will increase by two per cent this year.

For a typical residential customer with a monthly consumption of 15 cubic metres, the rate increase works out to an additional $25.68 a year, raising the total bill to $1,311.36, according to figures prepared by treasurer and director of finance Valerie Nesbitt.

She explained in her presentation to council Feb. 2 that the rates were based on water consumption rates from the previous two years, with a “minimal

increase” factored in “to avoid over-estimating revenue.”

The sewer surcharge was kept at 210 per cent of the amount charged for water service and consumption.

Gross expenditures for the three systems are estimated at $9,374,477; users will pay $3,541,646 toward those costs, an increase of $61,710.

The Ontario Clean Water Agency, which operates the municipality’s wastewater treatment facilities, will receive most of the $7,103,141 listed under expenses for contracted services.

Nesbitt cited various factors for the rate increase, including

“an economic increase” of 1.75 per cent for the budget’s wage component, and significant increases in benefit carrier premiums, “with the largest increase in the area of health coverage.”

Upgrades to Campbellford’s water tower and pumping station, which were delayed last year owing to a citizen’s appeal of the project later ruled against by the province, will go forward this year at an estimated cost of $5.3 million. Trent Hills will use $1.8 million in reserves to cover one-third of the cost; the remainder will be paid for with $3.5 million in funding from the provincial and federal governments.

New mentoring program teaches the essentials of maple syrup production

By John Campbell Campbellford – With the help of two local mentors, Laura McRae is making the transition from working as an archaeologist to earning a living as a farmer.

And her partner is making the very same career change.

“I grew up in rural Manitoba in a farming community and I’ve always wanted to go back to farming,” McRae said last week.

She and Derek Paauw tried to get into farming a few years ago but “we just couldn’t afford it then,” she said, so they put some money away for the day that they could.

They “finally found something last year,” a 100-acre farm on the 5th Line that had been out of production for more than a decade, “so there’s a bit of work” to do, McRae said.

The pair are going to keep their licences and take on small projects when they can but their plan

is to move out of archaeology altogether into farming.

They’ve begun by setting up a diversified farm operation, where they raise cows, pigs, birds, sheep, and goats but “specialize in honey,” McRae said.

She’s now working on adding the production of another natural sugar to that list by taking part in the Farms at Work Maple Syrup Production Mentorship Program.

Offered through Tides Canada, a national Canadian charity dedicated to a healthy environment, social equity, and economic prosperity, the program is “designed to provide novice maple syrup producers with the skills and experience they need to get started in maple production under the mentorship of a well-respected, established maple syrup producer.”

McRae has two mentors, Diane and Marc Curle, whose sugar bush north of Campbellford has been producing maple syrup for generations.

“It’s been a really great experience,” McRae said during a break at the annual Information Day held Jan. 28 at St. John’s United Church by the the Quinte and District Local of the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers’ Association (OMSPA).

People looking to getting into farming would be wise to join any of the Farms at Work programs, said McRae, who participated in one on pasturing.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity because it gives you a taste of what you can look forward to and the work that’s involved.”

This is the first year Farms at Work has offered a program for maple syrup. McRae and three other people paid the $700 fee to be taught by the Curles.

“It’s working out pretty good,” Marc said.

“I’m thoroughly enjoying it and I can say I’m learning as well,” Diane said.

Mentoring is something maple

syrup producers do informally all their lives, “this is just taking it to the next level.”

Diane said she and her husband are at an age now where “it’s nice to pass on what you know and have someone willing to listen.”

The four mentees helped string up new line at the Curles’ sugar bush and they spent a whole day sugaring, learning about valueadded products, which “was a great success,” she said.

The next session will be about production.

Marc said the five days of mentoring are spread out over several months so the participants get to experience “a little bit of everything.”

“The emphasis is hands on,” Diane said, rather than have them sitting in a room “being fed the information.”

OMSPA president Terry Hoover said “you couldn’t ask for a better time” to get into the maple syrup business.

Patient experience advisor a new volunteer role at Campbellford Memorial Hospital

Read your community news online daily.

Elvin Petherick and Liana Palmer are patient care advisors, a new volunteer role at Campbellford Memorial Hospital. Their responsibilities include enabling patients and families the opportunity to have direct input and influence on appropriate policies, programs and practices that affect the care and services at the hospital. Photo

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Continuing with its vision to be a recognized leader in rural healthcare, Campbellford Memorial Hospital now has two patient experience advisors.

News of the addition to the volunteer base that already exists at the hospital was made public at a recent regular board meeting.

The two people who are now fulfilling the new role are Liana Palmer and Elvin Petherick.

Palmer is a retired parole officer and has experience in the healthcare field as a VON Smart Exercise program leader, a volunteer with the friendly visits program of Community Care Brighton and she is a former member of the VON board and the John Howard Society Peterborough.

She also sings with a choir and volunteers at Westben.

Petherick, well known for his decades of dedication to the Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural Society fulfilling many roles including president, is a retired principal who worked for the Kawartha Pine Ridge District Elementary School Board.

The hospital defines the position of patient experience advisors as: “Any role that enables patients and families to have direct input and influence on the appropriate policies, programs and practices that affect the care and services individuals and families receive.”

The advisors have been provided guidelines so they can help patients by enhancing communication and improving patient satisfaction in a collaborate manner.

Jan Raine, chief nursing officer at CMH, explained that the advisor positions are not mandated but are encouraged by the Ontario Ministry

of Health and Long Term Care and Health Quality Ontario (HQO), the latter an organization legislated under the Excellent Care for All Act. “Most hospitals have some sort of model which incorporates input from the public’s perspective. Kingston General Hospital, for example, has more than 120 advisors,” commented Raine.

For Palmer the decision to take on this new role at CMH was an easy one. “The reason I accepted this is hopefully they are making this hospital better for patients and that’s the whole focus and I like that,” she said.

“The other reason is we have been invited to sit in on monthly patient safety care meetings,” she added, explaining that whenever they “engage in friendly conversation” when asking patients “how are things going,” they will have information they can bring back to the meetings.

Petherick talked about the fact his brother and father have both been in hospital here. “We have the opportunity when going onto the floor to talk to patients,” he commented.

“The hospital is making changes and the patient is always the focus ... these changes are to get feedback from patients as to what the hospital can be doing better.”

In essence the advisors will be the voice of patients and each will provide a new set of eyes and ears.

Among their many responsibilities the advisors here will also promote positive relationships between Campbellford Memorial Hospital and members of the community and “be an active consultant with regard to decisions and plans that affect Campbellford Memorial Hospital patients and families.”

The role of patient experience advisor is a one-year commitment.

Budget considerations in Madoc Township

By Diane Sherman

Eldorado - As the Township of Madoc prepares for the 2016 budget, council and staff arranged a road tour to assess infrastructure conditions throughout the municipality.

Work on roads in the northeastern quadrant are a priority, and with the township hosting the Hastings County Plowing Match, Queensborough Road is on the list for work.

Councillor Loyde Blackburn suggested the roads department could start brushing roadsides now since there is no snow.

On February 15 load restrictions begin. Signs will be posted for duration of the reduced load period.

Tax notices are being sent, payable March 31 with a 1.25 per cent penalty per month after that.

Treasurer Christine Mitchell suggested council might also consider raising service charges which she says have not increased since 2005.

The township finished off 2015 with a $113,287 surplus. Payouts this month included $17,715 for the 2016 levy to Quinte Waste Solutions, an increase of 83 per cent since 2014, 17 per cent over 2015.

Cost for OPP services has gone up 22 per cent this year. A payment of $25,765 was made.

Correction: In the last report for Jan. 6, this reporter misinterpreted notes, stating the arena was in need of “a new salt shed, loader and water softener”. The arena is not in need of these items.

Council discussed purchase of them for the Township.

Karen Bailey, who started the Bruce Lee House League for local kids with her husband Harold 25 years ago, spoke of those purchases in reference to expenditures and the debate over financial management of the arena. She asked in a deputation, “Are not the youth of the community worthy of some expense also?” We regret the error.

passes that meet several criteria including: discounted by 50 per cent off their daily rate; transferrable between patients and caregivers; equipped with in-and-out privileges throughout a 24hour period; and good for one year from the date of purchase.

“The changes won’t have any impact on us as a hospital because our rates are so much lower,” said Hilker.

Here in Campbellford the hospital fees are not more than $10 a day.

“Parking lot across the street is $5 upon exit,” said Hilker.

The government also directed hospitals not to raise their daily parking rates for the next three years and this does apply to CMH. In Ontario 45 hospitals currently offer free parking and 54 charge $10 or less per day, including Campbellford Memorial Hospital.

It is estimated that 36 hospitals charge more than $10 a day.

Hastings Historical Society “envious” of Westwood’s heritage centre

By Bill Freeman Westwood – The Hastings Historical Society (HHS) has been homeless since 2013 and decided to hold its first meeting of 2016 at the impressive and new Asphodel-Norwood Heritage Centre in Westwood.

The 20-year-old HHS no longer has its headquarters on Victoria Street and is storing its collection in dressing rooms at the old Hastings Arena and members’ homes although there’s a move afoot to use the former Hastings foodbank building for storage.

“It’s a wonderful setting to hold a meeting,” HHS executive Jim Coveney said of the Heritage Centre which officially opened last February and is open to the general public three days a week starting in April.

“We’re kind of homeless in Hastings and we needed a model,” said Coveney, who first visited the heritage

centre during its grand opening.

“It’s really very special what they’ve assembled here. The meeting tonight is an indication of how much people do love talking about history and looking at it.

“It [The Heritage Centre] keeps being a work in progress and they’re not letting up and are adding more great stuff all the time. We share a lot of heritage from here.” Asphodel-Norwood is fortunate to have such dedicated people who put unlimited time in this; along with time they’ve got a lot of skill.

“It’s a great destination for somebody going out for a drive,” Coveney added. “We wanted to come here to see what could be done and what it took [which included] the will and participation of all levels of the community.”

“I’m impressed, I’m envious,” HHS president Pat Funk said. It was her first visit to the Centre.

“I can imagine what [a Hastings Centre] might look like but I don’t know if we’ll ever be that fortunate,” Funk said. “All these books about the families in the area, I wish we had something like that but we’re losing it.”

Having a central location makes it easier to solicit artifacts and historical documents, she says.

“You’re more apt to get people’s collections and things because they know you’ve got a designated place to put them and we don’t have that. It’s discouraging and I don’t know how we’re going to get over it.”

Coveney says the shift to the former foodbank will allow them to store items in a heated building and will be easier to access for research. “it will be a step up. We’ll try it for a year and see how it works.”

The HHS meets monthly at the Hastings Civic Centre with draws good crowds and speakers.

The Asphodel-Norwood Historical Society started informally in 1993 meeting in homes, president Judy Chaplin said. Through the years its collection has grown and has also Members of the Hastings Historical Society look at some of the artifacts housed at the Asphodelbeen housed in various locations.

“The township has been very generous to us,” said Chaplin. “We’re preserving history not only for us but for future generations.”

16 Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, February 11, 2016

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – The future of the fair rests in the hands of the young people many of whom are exhibitors and participants in the Campbellford fair.

That was the message presented by Homecraft President Vivian Smallwood who spoke at the fair board’s recent annual general meeting.

But she also made it a priority to highlight the help of all the volunteers who made the fair’s Homecraft Division so successful, praising them for their efforts.

“I bring greetings on behalf of the ladies that work so hard to bring this all together. They are a team of great women with a multitude of talents, knowledge and perseverance,” she told the members and guests who attended the dinner and awards night.

“Homecraft had a great year with all departments having lots of new entries,” she added, admitting there were some categories that did see a drop in numbers, but she explained, “We know that each year we find that happens as the weather really plays a part, being hot and muggy or rainy.”

Last year’s theme was “Learn to do by Doing – Celebrating 4-H’s 100th anniversary” and I think we did a great job of promoting this in and outside the

Homecraft building,” she said with enthusiasm.

“The Homecraft building came alive with the best of home baking, preserves, creative works of art in photography and hobbies sections ... not to mention the masterpieces created in our junior division by our junior exhibitors, the future of our fair,” she added.

“I think with what I am told in comparison to other fairs you would be hardpressed to find displays of flowers and quilts as good as ours.”

Smallwood pointed out the commitment is not just to volunteer during fair weekend it is a year-long job that requires plenty of planning.

The 2016 fair is already in the works.

Smallwood also included the spouses of the fair members and volunteers, nothing their contribution too.

“An extended appreciation to the spouses that help and get volunteered for a lot of things,” she said with a grin.

“We could not do all the slugging and lugging that they do and it is really, really appreciated. I thank Peter (her husband) for being my support. He always asks what do I have to do and how much time do I have to get it done.”

Smallwood kept the future of the fair in the forefront with her remarks and noted, “We hope that the younger

ones take note as they are next in line to continue on.”

The theme of the 2016 Campbellford fair is “Rural beginnings and we can’t wait to see what creations will come in,” she added with enthusiasm.

Her talk wrapped up with a surprise presentation to Angela Runciman, Homecraft secretary/treasurer, “for all the work she does behind the scenes,” adding with a grin, “And keeping me in line with all my responsibilities.”

HBM approves policy for green energy projects

By Bill Freeman Havelock – Township council has approved a renewable energy projects policy with an eye to making sure residents have ample time to comment on proposals.

The policy establishes a procedure for green energy proponents to follow when they come to the township with a proposal for private or public lands. The applicant must submit detailed scaled drawings to the township’s economic development officer showing the project on the portion of land along with a number of other details including the

site location, dimensions and area proposed as well as layout and the location and types of existing structures on the property.

The application would also have to include the proposed entrance and access roads to the site as well as setbacks from property lines, existing structures, watercourses and wetlands; distances from residences on abutting properties; existing or proposed screening or buffering between the project and adjacent roads and abutting residences; aerial photography showing existing land uses together with the proposed project site and background

information on the company.

If the proponent meets these requirements they’d be welcome to address council at least two times – an initial meeting to introduce the proposal and a second presentation a minimum of 30 days after the first; during the second delegation, council could decide to approve a municipal support resolution or simply receive the delegation.

Between the first and second presentations the township would circulate notification to all property owners within 120 me-

tres of the proposed site so they’d have a chance to attend the second presentation.

“The 30 days will give it some time to get it out there,” DeputyMayor Jim Martin said.

Martin liked the 120 metre notification which, he pointed out, is “a little further” than is generally required.

“We’ve always done the 120 metres,” Economic Development Officer Brian Grattan noted.

“Neighbours do a pretty good job of getting the word out there (especially if it’s contentious),” Grattan

said. “We know if it’s contentious they’ll be out for sure.”

Grattan added that for larger scale proposals (on more than 90 acres) the Independent Electricity Service Operator (IESO) requires an open house.

Larger proposals would still have to follow the guidelines of the HBM policy along with those set out by the IESO, he stressed.

“I think it’s very important for any of those applicants who come here and are serious to get our support to have an open house or another meeting,” said

Councillor Barry Pomeroy.

Smaller scale proposals do not require a formal open house, Grattan said.

“The point that we are trying to make in this is we wanted to make sure that everybody has an opportunity to have a say. What’s important for me is that the onus is still on the applicant for the planning pieces.”

Under the policy, HBM will provide no municipal zoning certificates or opinions. The proponent can use a private land use planner if it wants to.

New chair will lead Celebrate Havelock

By Bill Freeman

Havelock – Celebrate Havelock has a new board chair.

Jim Martin takes over from long-time chair Elmer Buchanan who’ll stay on as a board member. Buchanan officially passes the torch at the volunteer organization’s February meeting but introduced Martin at Celebrate Havelock’s annual wine and cheese social Jan. 29.

Buchanan’s “excited” about the ninth annual Celebrate Havelock gathering May 7 but says he wants to spend more time with the Havelock-BelmontMethuen Chamber of Commerce and help “invigorate” that organization.

It was Chamber of Commerce, with

member Wendy Clark leading the way, which founded Celebrate Havelock which has grown to become one of the township’s great success stories, drawing over 1,000 visitors and 65 vendors to the community centre each spring.

“The board is strong and active with lots of ideas. Things are in good shape,” says Buchanan.

“It’s a great committee,” Martin, who is also the township’s deputy-mayor, adds.

“Every year we come up with a few new ideas and hopefully we’ll be able to do that again. Elmer’s boots are big to fill.

He’s always made the committee move forward, always kept things rolling. I hope I can do the same thing.”

What Buchanan finds most “gratify-

ing” about Celebrate Havelock is its ability to pull the community together.

“It is a community thing; a community project. Its focus is Havelock-BelmontMethuen. It is truly a celebration of the community.”

With $10,000 worth of prizes given away, Celebrate Havelock draws visitors from around the region and has become the template for similar trade shows like the one in neighbouring Asphodel-Norwood.

“It is the greatest compliment,” Buchanan says of municipalities that visit, take notes and start their own events.

“We may reach out a little bit this year to find some vendors from outside. Kind of growing a little bit without making it wide open. I think there are some opportunities to do that without crowding out the locals. We certainly don’t want to lose any of our local vendors because that’s what it’s all about.”

made greater use of the grounds around the community centre and that will continue with the board thinking of erecting a tent for outdoor entertainment to compliment the stage program indoors.

“The success of the show is also about the generosity of vendors and others in the community,” Buchanan stressed.

The board’s always looking for new members and has had success attracting new faces.

“It’s just a matter of people wanting to do something for the community,” says Buchanan.

“It’s a good group of people who have kept it moving,” Martin agrees. “I think it’s been really successful.

It started with the Chamber and we just carried it on and added little things each year.

Businesses get to present their stuff but it’s also a great social day for the township.

Some people don’t get to see people very often and that’s what it’s about; it’s celebrate Havelock.”

Central Hastings OPP report

Charges laid in family dispute

Tweed - Members of Central Hastings O.P.P responded to a family dispute on Hollister Road in the Municipality of Tweed February 1, 2016 in relation to siblings arguing over property ownership. As a result of the investigation, a 50 year old Parry Sound man was arrested and charged with assault and two counts of mischief contrary to the criminal code of Canada. He will appear in Ontario Court of Justice – Belleville on March 3. In addition, a 48 year Tweed man was arrested and charged with production of a schedule II substance (cannabis resin) and possession of a schedule II substance for the purpose of trafficking -over 3 kg (marijuana) contrary to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act . He will appear in Ontario Court of Justice – Belleville on March 24.

Driver’s licence seized On February 2 at 11:45 a.m Central Hastings O.P.P. conducted a traffic stop after a vehicle was observed driving erratically on Hwy. 62 south of Crookston Rd. A 35

year old male driver of Picton was charged with driving while under suspension, his driver’s licence was seized and his vehicle impounded for seven days.

Credit card scam circulating On Feb. 3, Madoc residents advised O.P.P. that they had received a telephone call from someone offering to lower their interest rate on their credit card. The scammer asked if the resident owned a Visa or Mastercard and then requested the credit card number so the lower rate could be applied. In both cases the homeowners did not divulge any personal or financial information and hung up the phone. Central Hastings OPP reminds the public that scammers may try to trick people into revealing information about their credit cards either over the phone or through e-mail. It’s important to know that your credit card company or bank would never call to ask for personal information such as your credit card number, expiry number, PIN, or the security number on the back of your card.

Council approves crossing guard plan at busy junction

By Bill Freeman

Norwood – There will be a school crossing guard at the junction of Spring Street and County Road 45 in downtown Norwood perhaps as early as March. The location in front of the town hall is well-used by students walking to and from Norwood’s two elementary schools.

Township council approved the municipal initiative following an earlier request from parent Jillian Honey who raised concerns about the safety of children walking to school.

Honey says traffic lights in town “offer little comfort for families” because of the speed of vehicles and how distractedly some turn corners.

The municipality will budget around $15,000 for capital start-up and operation of the program.

A crossing guard program is a municipal responsibility sanctioned under the Highway Traffic Act. Honey approached Councillor Ber-

nadette Vanderhorst and Vanderhorst brought the issue to council.

“I’m glad she (talked to me),” Vanderhorst said. “The safety of our school children should be a priority to council.”

There is already one crossing guard in town, on highway 7 across from St. Paul School. The crossing guard program at that site has been operated by the Catholic School Board for many years.

“It’s the exception to the rule,” noted Vanderhorst, because crossing guards are a municipal responsibility. “It doesn’t go back to the school board.”

After receiving Honey’s letter council asked staff to do some research on a crossing guard program; that included talking to neighbouring municipalities that ran similar programs.

“It is a successful program,” said Treasurer Candace White. “Every municipality we spoke to definitely is an advocate for it.”

County because the guard would operate on a county road. The county says they would need thermal plastic markings on the road as well as signage.

“There would be a cost to us if they did the work,” said White.

The crossing guard position would fall “under the umbrella” of public works,” she added.

The guard would need to take health and safety and accessibility training and undergo the standard police check. They would wear safety paraphernalia and there’d be monthly in-

spections and annual training.

“Training seems to be something that is handled in-house,” White added.

The municipality can “tweak” the hours but White says they’re looking at 15 hours a week over 43 weeks.

With council’s approval, staff will “work on the next stage.”

White feels the program could be ready by the first day after March Break.

“That’s what we can work towards,” said Mayor Terry Low. Honey was pleased council acted so

quickly to her request.

“That intersection is particularly harrowing,” she says. “Vehicles often speed through there and increasingly drivers are distracted. I often run and walk through the community and have had many close calls.”

“Many parents I spoke with felt similarly and strongly supported (introducing) a crossing guard. If some drivers aren’t noticing adults until the last minute the thoughts of having our kids crossing busy intersections to get to school is daunting.”

World-famous horse trainer and friend of mustangs main draw at this year’s fair

By John Campbell Warkworth – Randy Bird, Canada’s legendary horse trainer best known for his work with mustangs, will be the featured attraction at this year’s Warkworth Fair.

Bird attended the annual general meeting of the Percy Agricultural Society Jan. 28 to begin making plans for his two days of shows at the 166th annual fair, which will have as its theme “Mustang Madness.”

Bird, whose work in saving several wild mustangs in Wyoming from almost certain slaughter was documented in a 2011 film seen worldwide, told fair board members that “to do a good show you have to educate and entertain.”

He does both, having honed his showmanship skills over the years while operating an equine education program at his ranch in Harwood.

“At a fair you need a little something for everyone and the more variety [it has] the more successful it is,” said Bird, who promised to “help make the fair a success” with his demonstrations as well as showings of his documentary, “Saving

the Mustang,” which took five years to film.

The agricultural society will be looking for better results this September than it managed at last year’s fair when rain Saturday and Sunday forced the cancellation of more than a half-dozen events and drove down attendance.

“It was a washout,” president Greg Torrance said after the meeting, but “it could have been a lot worse,” if not for the support of the people who did come, the work of volunteers, and a $10,600 Celebrate Ontario grant.

The organization ended up finishing 2015 with a deficit of $8,354, in large part because gate receipts at the fair plunged from $11,880 in 2014 to $3,433.

“We want to be able to recoup what we’re doing [and] get ourselves back up to a really good financial footing,” Torrance said of plans “to add to the fair more on the agricultural side this year” while moving away from “the motorized section that everybody’s got now.”

To that end, the fair board has pencilled in sheep shearing, sheepdog herding, a crop competition (after a one-year absence), a magic act based on agriculture, and a Trent Hills Ambassador competition for children.

Another new event is Touch-a-Truck, that will include trucks, cars and farm vehicles which children will be invited to see up close, “maybe sit in them,” Torrance said.

Cobourg strongman Kevin Fast will be performing a feat of strength - possibly pulling a big combine, Torrance said as well as organizing Highland Games for amateurs to be held on the Sunday.

A cooking demonstration will be held in the arena and winners of Warkworth Perfect Pie contests will be challenged to outdo each other in achieving perfection once again.

“We’ve got a good base of shows that we’re going to put on,” Torrance said, “a plethora of events that are going to be interesting for anybody and everybody.”

Getting Bird, an international star, to be a part of the fair is “just amazing,” Torrance said. “I’m looking forward to seeing his show.”

Next Country Talent Star Search gets ready to rock

By Bill Freeman Havelock â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The second annual Next Country Music Star Talent Search at The Ranch Resort in Bethany is expected to surpass last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s triumphant showdown which brought some glittering young musicians to the Havelock Country Jamboree including grand champions Instant Rivalry from Prince Edward County.

The sister-brother duo of Meg and Caleb Hutton had a showcase gig at the 26th annual Havelock Country Jamboree with runners-up Henry Norwood and the James Barker Band also performing there along with finalists Kaitlin Kozell and Kansas Stone.

The winners also secured some pretty impressive industry prizes and valuable advice from final night judges Bruce Good, Maple Music GM Tony Tarleton, MDM Recordings president Mike Denny and Trevor Lamas, National Promotions Manager for Sony Music Entertainment.

Those are industry heavyweights for sure and this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest will serve up the same level of talent and judging when it kicks off March 5 at The Ranch which continues its fruitful partnership with the Havelock Country Jamboree.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural event, which took over from a similar competition held in Havelock for a number of years, drew full houses. Instant Rivalry was the first band to advance through the preliminary round and edged out 16-year-old Perth-based phenom Henry Norwood and Woodvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s James Barker.

It was a huge night for Instant Rivalry and the start of a very busy year that took them down to Nashville again and ushered in a new album, Whiskey and Lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We truly did not think we were going to win. Our money was on Kansas Stone,â&#x20AC;? Meg admits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never were there sweeter words when Tony said Instant Rivalry as the first place choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great experience for us. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about the awards, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the reward you and your fans take home after you perform,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That being said, winning felt better than we dreamed it Prince Edward Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Instant Rivalry won the first ever Next Country Music Star Talent Search at The Ranch Resort in Bethany and earned a spot at the Havelock Country Music would.

Kurt Browning will dazzle in Norwood

By Bill Freeman Norwood – Four-time world and Canadian figure skating champion Kurt Browning will dazzle a full house when he takes the ice at the Norwood and District Skating Club’s “Skating Through Time” carnival March 6.

The crowd is expected to match or surpass the biggest draws for onice events at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre rivalling the Montreal Canadiens’ alumnae game and sold-out Norwood Vipers playoff games.

By any measure it’s a brilliant coup for the 70-member club which has been a home to young figure skaters since 1968.

“It will probably be a real highlight in the history of the club,” says longtime member, coach and executive Bernadette Vanderhorst who extended the invitation to Browning.

Browning is a skating “icon,” both nationally and internationally, says Vanderhorst, and to bring him to Norwood where he’ll meet with skaters and skate with them is thrilling.

“For our club it will bring great exposure and we hope to pack the house.”

The club has developed a bit of a

relationship with Browning over the past few years with members and their families meeting him regularly during his Rock The Ice appearances in Peterborough.

“We have met him at different times wearing our NDSC jackets. He was very kind,” says Vanderhorst. “He knows who the Norwood District Skating Club is.”

During those meetings Vanderhorst asked Browning if he’d be interested in possibly being an instructor at the NDSC’s popular inter-club “On The Leading Edge” clinic. They shared contact information but scheduling has never worked out.

They’ve also tried to bring him in for their carnival but that’s always conflicted with the world championships where Browning is a television commentator.

But this year’s show is earlier so Vanderhorst “persevered” and extended the invitation.

“It all came together. The skaters are just thrilled. It just pumps them up way more for their preparation for the show and finessing what they’re preparing for EOSIC and the Winter Fun Skate in Bobcaygeon.”

Even though the club’s skaters weren’t born when Browning was

Four-time world and Canadian figure skating champion Kurt Browning will be the guest skater at this year’s Norwood and District Skating Club carnival on March 6.

capturing his four world and Canadian titles, they know him through his brilliant ice show performances, TV commentary and his co-hosting of The Battle of the Blades.

“He’s a personality that all generations know. There’s people who follow Kurt and they’ll be wanting to catch another closer glimpse of him. The word is spreading fast (but) the club’s skating families will get first dibs on the tickets. That’s what our club is here for, those families.”

Vanderhorst has nothing but “accolades” for the club’s carnival volunteers.

“I’ve complicated the ice show a little bit this year,” she quipped. “They’re ready to dig in and work hard.”

“This is going to bring focus to what our skaters are doing here. It’s a great incentive for the kids to reach taller,” added head coach Leanne Decker.

Browning will also bring along autographed copies of his children’s alphabet book “A is for Axel.”

One game left in disappointing season for last-place Rebels

By John Campbell Campbellford – Mired in last place, eight points out of playoff spot, the Campbellford Rebels will close out the 2015-16 season Saturday night at home against the Amherstview Jets.

The Empire B Junior C Hockey

League club never did get untracked, managing only nine wins and a tie, after getting off to a rough start when the coach chosen to lead the team quit before the season opener.

Now the team is advertising for a new general manager on its website, with those interested in the position

being told to submit their applications to president Jim Peeling by Feb. 28 The Rebels’ futility continued last Saturday when the visiting Picton Pirates went home with a 5-3 win, despite yielding a pair of goals by Campbellford’s Riley McGuire and Jeremiah Doherty 26 seconds apart with less

than two minutes to play in the game.

Doherty assisted on Brenan Rylott’s power play goal in the second period that cut the Pirates’ lead in half.

Stark Travis in his third appearance in net for the Rebels made 23 saves.

With one game remaining, Doherty, a left winger, is the team’s lone en-

try in the league’s top 20 scoring list, holding down the final spot with 20 goals and 12 assists in 37 matches.

Campbellford leads the league with 887 penalty minutes as well as the most goals allowed, at 221. Its offence also trails the rest of the teams with 104 goals.

Colborne – With two games left to play this week in their regular season, the Colborne Chiefs were hoping to snap a tie for eighth spot with the Orangeville Ice Crushers in the Central Division of the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League.

The two teams began the week with 30 points in 40 games but Orangeville has one more win with 14.

The Chiefs were scheduled to play the Oshawa RiverKings on the road Feb. 8 and then close at home Feb. 10 against the Bradford Rattlers.

Colborne has yet to defeat Oshawa this season, losing 9-1, 8-1, 6-1 and 7-3 before taking the RiverKings to overtime Jan. 20 in a game that ended 10-9 in favour of Oshawa.

The Chiefs and Rattlers had only played once prior to Wednesday’s match, with the Rattlers winning the first encounter 5-0 last November.

Bradford holds down second spot in the Cen-

tral Division, with 56 points; Oshawa is in fifth, with 48, the same as the Bradford Bulls.

After winning three of five in an eight-day span, including a 22-3 thumping of the Bobcaygeon Storm, Colborne dropped both of its road games last weekend, 10-1 to the first-place Tottenham Steam and 10-5 to the fourth-place Meaford Knights.

The game against Meaford was close until the home team broke it open with four straight goals in the third period after David Chachalak had closed the gap to two with an unassisted goal at 2:48.

Chachalak also assisted on goals by Roland Kollo and Egor Grishatov, who scored while killing a penalty in the first period. Karter Donnelly did the same in the second, assisted by Garrett Ouellete, who scored less than three minutes later.

Meaford outshot Colborne 32-17.

Curtis Campbell made 53 saves in the loss to Tottenham, who outshot the Chiefs 63-10. Donnelly had the lone goal for Colborne.

Playoffs begin for Peewee Leo League and Percy Bulldogs

By Jake Whalen Warkworth - The Peewee Leo League regular season is over and the round robin portion of the playoffs has started. Percy ended the regular season in second place of seven teams.

For the round robin portion of the playoffs the top four teams play a home and home against each other, with the top two of that round going head to head for the championship.

The Percy Bulldogs lost their first playoff game to the Apsley Flames on Fri. Jan. 29 with a score of 6-2. Percy then travelled to Campbellford on Wed. Feb. 3 and took that game 5-2. On Fri. Feb. 5, Percy hosted Campbellford and the result was flipped with Campbellford winning 4-2.

Percy Bulldogs travelled to Apsley on Sunday, Feb. 6 for a 10 a.m. game and apparently the Bulldogs like getting up early as they beat Apsley for the first time this year!

Riley McKenzie started the scoring off for the Bulldogs with a shot from the blue line on a breakout pass from Jake Trottman. Apsley answered back two minutes later on an

unassisted goal from Mason Bolton. Brandon Lindt put in a rebound with 5.5 minutes left to play in the first on a shot from Adam McDonald. The Flames did not want the first period to end without evening the score and with 23 seconds left to play, Bolton netted another one unassisted.

The Bulldogs started to open things up in the second period, scoring three goals. Defenseman Graison Morrison joined the rush to tap in a beauty pass from McKenzie for the first.

The next two came from McKenzie assisted

by Michael Burgess and Evan Desjardins on both. Bolton answered back late in the second again for the Flames to make the score 5-3 for Percy after two periods.

McKenzie would finish the scoring for Percy with two more goals in the third, both set up

by Trottman and the last goal scored on the empty net. Luke King put in one in the third unassisted for the Flames. Final score 7-4 for the Percy Bulldogs.

Come cheer on the Bulldogs at home on Friday, Feb. 12 at 7:30 p.m. as they host Otonabee Black.

By Bill Freeman Hastings – Two members of the Hastings Historical Society (HHS) are looking for some help as they track down the history of the once-flourishing Trent Valley Hockey League which filled arenas around the region from 1899 to the mid1950s.

“It wasn’t continuous, there’d be years of faltering and then it would be resurrected again,” says Peterborough resident and Hastings native Dave Barry, whose great aunt Catherine was raised in Asphodel and was Hollywood star Gene Kelly’s grandmother.

Barry and fellow HHS member Stewart Richardson will spend the next six to 12 months researching the TVL, talking to as many people and organizations as they can to learn more about the Intermediate B level league. Future NHL stars like Hastings’ Dit Clap-

Duo are tracking down history of Trent Valley Hockey League per and Point Anne’s Bobby Hull played in the TVL. Clapper, who went on to star with the Boston Bruins and is in the Hockey Hall of Fame, played in the TVL in 1925-26 on a line with his father and brother and Hull, another Hall of Famer with the Chicago Black Hawks, played a few games for Point Anne as a young teen in 1953, also on a line with his father.

Point Anne won the TVL title in 1954.

Richardson is no stranger to hockey and has written a wellreceived book about Clapper.

“As I understand it it was the best darned hockey played around here for a long, long time,” says Richardson. “Every community had their house leagues but to play in the TVL was quite an honour and was the main entertainment in the winter long before they had TVs. We think it’s worthwhile trying to capture that.”

“It was a colourful league,” Barry adds. “I remember as a boy in the late forties the results being telegraphed into the Hastings train station and then couriers sent to the pool rooms. It turned out some good players.”

“We think we can do quite a history and quite a story.”

Barry and Richardson will talk to area historical societies and sports halls of fame as well as local residents who remember the league and its games. During parts of its history the TVL stretched from Bobcaygeon to Picton and featured several championship cups, the last being the Thomas Bata Memorial Cup. “We’re going to be asking for help, the loan of photos, newspaper write-ups etc.,” Barry said.

“We’re also looking for people with good memories because we want to add some colour to it. We want to sit down

with people.”

Barry says the league was founded in 1899 by small communities that felt they “couldn’t meet the stringent requirements of the OHA (Ontario Hockey Association).”

“It was an answer to provide hockey with a set of rules and regulations outside of the OHA.” There’s a rich, lively history to be unearthed, says Barry.

One person, he noted, said the

TVL was “known as much for its fights in the stands and parking lots as it was on the ice.”

Anyone with information on the TVL can contact Richardson at <stewart@rmhi.ca> or Barry at <dabarry@bell.net>.

Marmora SnoFest 2016 – Wasn’t that a party?

A big smile was the typical reaction of the children as they tried their first outing with a dog sled at Marmora’s SnoFest. Photo by Margriet Kitchen

By Margriet Kitchen Marmora – A SnoFest weekend without snow didn’t slow things down one bit for the people of Marmora. The business association planned downtown events. Forsyth Street closed down Saturday to host entertainment such as face painting for the children, an antique snowmobile display, a live band and the Little Nippers race.

Nicole and Shane Cox brought eight sled dogs in for the race, and the municipality trucked in snow for a rac-

ing lane on Forsyth Street. Thirty-one children took part, with Avery Coe of Marmora the winner of the 2016 Little Nippers trophy.

Forsyth St. merchants set up stands on the street, giving shoppers the opportunity to enjoy food, free hot chocolate and shopping.

Many people enjoyed the St. Andrew’s United Church dinner put on by the Deloro UCW. The Community Centre was the scene of the artisans and food market along with story telling courtesy of the

library.

Friday night, the Marmora’s Got Talent show kicked off the weekend activities with a large number of very talented singers, dancers and comedians.

Organizers were pleased with the event and are thankful for all the volunteer help from different organizations that went into making it a success. Dog sled races will take place on the weekend of Feb. 27-28. Find out Dog sled sponsor Nicole Cox provided encouragement and a steadying hand as she ran with each more at <www.marmorasnofest.ca>. of the 31 racers as they raced up Forsyth St. during the Little Nippers Dog Sled Race.

Bigger air show part of base plan

By Jack Evans

ing and roads in the area around the base to plan for smooth traffic control and adequate parking.” He expects the event will create a sharp bump into the local economy when it runs June 25 and 26.

Overall, Keiver praised the record of close co-operation between 8 Wing and surrounding municipalities, with a recent agreement signed with Belleville to create a local branch of the Military Family Resource Centre, one of several now in place. He went on to stress the importance of such support. “Our personnel can’t do their jobs properly if their spouses and children aren’t being properly supported at home while they’re away.”

Asked about Syrian refugees, he said the base was originally assigned

The return of a major air show to CFB Trenton this summer still awaits final approval from Ottawa, Col. Colin Keiver announced to a large gathering of local service clubs this past week.

He said he expects that approval before the end of this month and plans are going forward full speed ahead.

While attendance at many air shows has drawn between 60,000 to 80,000, Keiver said he has instructed his staff to shoot for at least 100,000 at the rejuvenated Quinte edition.

Agreeing that traffic and parking will be major problems, Keiver said; “We’ve hired a top notch consultant on this from the United States and he will do a complete study of all park-

a job to shelter and look after a large number, but this has now been set aside for the time being, allowing smoother transition of new refugees into the community.

He also assured, when questioned, that regular summer air cadet camps will continue.

He closed by extending an invitation for the public to make full use of the world class National Air Force Museum and the base’s 18-hole golf club.

The noon luncheon drew a near capacity crowd to the Belleville Banquet Centre, where the Kiwanis Club of Belleville was host. Representatives from two Rotary, two Probus, Lions, Kinettes and other Kiwanis Clubs also attended.

of the Quinte Landlord’s Association.

The association currently has about 50 members, a small number likely owing to the fact that previously the association mostly communicated through word of mouth. To become a member, landlords usually had to know a member.

“I’m looking to change that and be of service to many more landlords, especially new and small scale landlords who are particularly vulnerable to the numerous industry pitfalls and risks,” said Gentile.

He said the association formed about 15 years ago to help the local landlord community with networking and sharing of information that usually takes place at monthly dinner meetings.

A press release issued by the group to announce Gentile’s appointment made no secret of the group’s concerns. It suggested landlords in Ontario face some of the toughest rental regulations in the country and it referred to Ontario’s rental tribunal system – a system tenants can go to solve a dispute with a landlord – as “broken.”

“Newbie landlords, and even experienced ones who let down their guard, can be eaten alive by fraudulent tenants, strict regulations, and the broken rental tribunal system.” Gentile said in the release. “It can mean the difference between solvency and bankruptcy in many cases.”

When asked to elaborate on concerns with regulations and the tribunal system, Gentile said, “Where do I start? If you take a look at our website, the first thing you will see is a telling quote by Justice Ted Matlow, who finally said what many in the industry have long complained about; that the existing regulations in Ontario allow dishonest Continued on page B6

TRAVEL

A Visit to Mexico’s Exquisite Baja Peninsula

By John M. Smith

walked toward town, though, I passed the popular Medano Beach, where there were many swimmers.

There were also several vendors along the beach, but a fence had been erected so that the vendors were not allowed to bother people soaking up the sun by their resorts.

Also, I soon discovered that if you simply said “no thanks” to their offers of cheap goods, then they would not bother you further.

We left our resort and took a guided tour of the area on one of our vacation days, and this proved to be very informative. We discovered that Los Cabos is subdivided into two distinct sections, for the tranquil, colonial village of San Jose del Cabo retains the look and feel of an authentic Mexican town, with its central main square, mission church, and cobblestone streets. However, the more touristy destination of Cabo San Lucas, located at the other end of the 33 km. “Tourist Corridor”, with its luxury mall, souvenir shops, and expensive boutiques, is home to so many celebrities that it’s often referred to as “Little L.A.” (property owners include George Clooney, Cindy Crawford, Sylvester Stallone, Brad Pitt, and Bill Gates).

This is “the party place”, so there are lots of nightclubs accompanying the yacht-filled harbour. One particularly popular spot is the Cabo Wabo Cantina, which was opened back in 1990 by Van Halen’s Sammy Haggar. At that time, Cabo San Lucas was not much more than a placid fishing village, but it has since emerged into a very popular tourist destination, and the “Tourist Corridor” is now home to many lavish resorts, spas, and golf courses (designed The Arch (El Arco) is the area’s most distincby such golfers Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, and Tiger tive landmark.

Los Cabos, located at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja loscabos.travel

Every Christmas, I plan a winter vacation for my wife and myself, and this year’s destination was Mexico’s Los Cabos. Friends of ours, Bob and Marlene LaFrance, had gone there just prior to Christmas and had raved about it, so we decided to check it out, too. After all, we enjoy visiting new places, and it was certainly going to be warmer there than here, so we booked the trip and went for a week of relaxation amid the sand and surf at our selected all-inclusive resort, the Riu Palace.

This resort turned out to be a great choice, for it was beautiful, with stunning landscaping, immaculately kept grounds, large pools, and wonderful restaurants. The fridge in our oceanfront suite was restocked daily, and the room was cleaned twice every day. We’d often spend the afternoon by a pool or on the beach, then have a shower and a change of clothes before dinner. When we’d return to our suite after dining, we’d find that the room had again been tidied and the used towels had all been replaced. There was often a towel animal to greet us on our bed. What a nice touch!

My wife’s favourite daily ‘activity’ was to simply lounge by a pool, relax, enjoy the sunshine, and catch up on some reading. I could do this for some of the time, but then I’d get anxious to go exploring. Therefore, we soon got into the routine, each morning, to have breakfast together and then find the best poolside spot to plant ourselves. Then I’d soon depart to go for a long walk along the beach, before the heat of the day would make this more of a chore. I discovered that this was a particularly nice place for a leisurely stroll, for there was a wide, sandy beach amid a very picturesque setting. I’d be looking out at a unique rock formation at Land’s End, a place that I would later get an ‘up close and personal’ view of via a boat cruise. I’d also be gazing out at the cruise ships that were docked in this area for the day. I walked all the way to town and back on one occasion, and I walked to the outcropping of rocks in the other direction on another day (where I watched some fishermen casting out their lines directly from shore – and got some nice photos of large sand crabs that had joined me on the beach walk).

There was also a lot of activity along the shoreline, including kayaks, paddleboards, wave runners (sea-doos), glass bottom boats, and parasailers.

Horseback riding in the sand was also available and popular, as was simply walking or jogging along the shoreline. However, swimming was not recommended here, for there was a very strong, dangerous undertow. As I I walked to the town of Cabo San Lucas via the beach.

detail. If a landlord makes one minor error on a form, the case can be thrown out, he said. Meanwhile, a tenant the landlord has issues with can remain in the unit. Also, decisions made by the board often take months.

So an investigation into a tenant accused of not paying rent can take a toll on a landlord, who must wait for that decision even if they’re doing without rent payments they need to pay their own bills. These, among other issues, speak to the need for landlords to share information so they know what challenges they may face.

Kismet. Karma. Fate. Take your pick, Gentle Reader.

A few days ago I was thinking about a topic for this week’s column and of the several I had in mind, none really jumped up and down saying, “Pick me, and pick me!” I was ambivalent.

That’s not to say one was better than an other: each will receive its own column in due time.

On Friday afternoon, I was re-arranging an air plant display, “potting up” a gruesomely “tentacled” specimen, when the tillandsia tickled my muse and inserted themselves into the running. That Saturday morning, the Globe and Mail carried an excellent Marjorie Harris article on the very same group of plants. Even more, on the afternoon of that same Saturday a tour through the county had us visiting Lockyer’s Country Gardens and, wouldn’t you know it, cleverly arranged on a dried up stump was a Tim Burton landscape of... tillandsia. So, tillandsia it is.

Most of us are not sure what a tillandsia is but we are familiar with air plants, and since they’re one and

the same, most of us now know. They’re the usually wispy plants, more wisp than anything, often with a magnet glued to their base, clinging to refrigerator doors and range hoods. Tillandsia are epiphytes, meaning they can derive all their nourishment from “stuff” floating about in the air, hence “air plants.” Some lichen, some orchids; in fact, many genera contain epiphytes. Perhaps the best known tillandsia is Spanish Moss, aka Tillandsia usneoides.

These are strange looking chappies, hence the reference to film producer Tim Burton- Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride and Beetlejuice. One of the scarier looking species is T. bulbosa, sort of a cross between a squid and a sentinel (the destructive machines in The Matrix) followed closely by T.psuedobaileyi which is almost a slimy-smooth twin. That’s not to say these are plants in which nightmares propagate although T. caputmedusae makes a compelling argument otherwise. If I were to attempt a literal translation I would come up “air plant that

Dan Clost looks like medusa’s head.” So no matter how much lipstick this lassie layers on, the snakes are still going to slither through your nocturnal thoughts.

Some are structurally beautiful while others sport stunningly hued leaves while others put out neon coloured flowers. The purple hued T. stricta looks like a frozen miniature black Mondo grass that strayed up to Zone 4. T. fushi is like an unprepossessing hedgehog, albeit a green one, until it puts forth a long stem with phosphorescent oranges, pinks and blue bracts and petals. Perhaps the most colourful- in terms of flower is T. cyanea with a broadly oval flower head approximately 5 inches long and up to inches wide.

Ken Tizzard to showcase at the East Coast Music Week

Campellford – Local musician Ken Tizzard has found his groove. “I am honoured to be chosen to showcase at East Coast Music Week. Great company ... ,” are the words he posted on his Facebook page announcing he has been invited to perform in Sydney, Nova Scotia from April 13–16.

His music has morphed from rock and roll to a more “folksy” sound as demonstrated when he produced his latest solo CD No Dark No Light, launched last March.

“Folksy is not really new to me.

When I was growing up I listened to a lot of it, Bob Dylan for example. I was always influenced by folk music,” he commented. During his early

Up In the Air Continued from page B6 land Nursery in Vancouver: “dumb plants.” He calls them such because they don’t die, they just sit there.

How do you care for these chappies?

Don’t let them get cold. If you’re house is exceptionally dry, e.g. your cat looks like a balloon fish every time it walks across the carpet, you might mist your tillandsia once a week, sparingly.

Here’s a question a perspicacious GR might have been hanging on to whilst reading this column; in the second paragraph I mentioned I was potting one up.

Why would you do that? We had some tall rectangular clear glass vases which I hid filled with small, plain gravel. I placed the base of a T. bulbosa on the top of the gravel, held it centred with my fingers and then shook the vase. The plant gently eased down into the stones, thus planting itself.

Tillandsia also lends themselves to dry terrariums, stone and gnarly wood decorations, and fairy landscapes, especially if you’re slipping in a “low rent “district for Goth elves.

From tillandsia it’s only a short step to other self-sufficient plants such as cacti, echeveria, aloes and the like. Just think you can fill your entire house with low care plants. In fact they take less care than plastic plants because you have to dust the latter whereas, with the former, dust is their food.

End notes- I visited with Campbellford and District Horticultural Society this past week. Glenn Bennett was judging several tables of entries with a very firm hand displaying the rare quality of providing critique without criticism- as it is semantically interpreted. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

And the week previous, the folks at the Brighton Horticultural Society were looking at Gardening 101 as many were downsizing to smaller gardens. This is another hort club who has its act together- a real pleasure. I confess I tried to push a few buttons with a mini-rant about native plants and native soils but this group was so genteel.

career playing bass he “hooked up with a rock and roll band and it turned into 25 years of playing rock and roll which was amazing.”

Then about 10 years ago he made a conscious effort to focus “on my own stuff and I knew that was going to be folk country, Americana, whatever you want to call it.”

That change in focus brought him to where he is today, accepting an invitation to attend and be part of the East Coast festival. The event is also a conference, export buyers program and a celebration, where awards will be presented in a multitude of categories from Aboriginal Artist of the Year to Album of the Year, Event of the Year to Manager of the Year and more.

Described as a “born storyteller,” Tizzard travelled the country with his band The Watchmen, yet remains grounded with his family in Campbellford. He continues to entertain locally on Wednesday evenings from 9 to 11 p.m. at the Church Key Pub. He views his change in direction to music that is more “folksy” as having a grassroots focus, “Unlike the rock and roll world which is very corporate ... it took a few records to finally find my groove.”

His invitation to attend the east coast festival will see him on one of several stage venues, the Songwriters’ Circle.

“It’s a big thing getting in front of talent buyers,” he noted. “This is a different world from rock and roll and these showcases are hard to get into.”

His trip to the east coast will not be a first as Tizzard was born in Newfoundland. The release of his CD No Dark No Light last year reflected his desire to return to those roots.

He continues to travel to Newfoundland to perform.

No Dark No Light is described as a CD where “its acoustic country meets folk ambience and is in sharp contrast to his previous album, 2012’s The Goodness of Bad Intent.

Recorded with his trio Bad Intent, that album was built around the evocative sounds of the pedal steel and it fea-

Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis appointed to Veterans Affairs committee

By Stephen Petrick

have three Conservatives and one member of the NDP. Back in August, Ellis was standing by Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau when the soon-to-be prime minister unveiled a major campaign promise during a stop in Belleville. The party promised to re-open seven Veterans Affairs offices closed by the previous Conservative government and invest about $300 million per year for veterans services.

That included nearly $100 million more per year for veteran family support services, and $80 million per year for a new Veterans Education Benefit, among other pledges.

Ellis said he’s excited to begin working on the committee, but the first task at hand will be for the com-

mittee to elect a chair when it meets for the first time on Feb. 16.

After that, he expects things will move swiftly.

“We have an ambitious platform,” Ellis said. “A lot of this was to be moved through as soon as possible.”

Ellis said he’s particularly happy to be on the committee, given that the new Bay of Quinte riding covers CFB Trenton. As a result, there’s a large number of veterans living in the area.

New Bay of Quinte Member of Parliament Neil Ellis has been appointed to the federal government’s veterans affairs committee.

It’s a role he’s “very happy” to take on, given the riding’s strong military ties and his party’s recent promise to offer more support to those who’ve served.

“This will be a busy committee,” Ellis said in a phone interview from his Parliament Hill office on Feb. 2. “It (supporting veterans) was a major plank in our platform.”

The committee is expected to meet twice a week and examine all matters related to Veterans Affairs Canada.

Ellis is one of six MPs from Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis speaks on the phone at his Belleville constitu- the ruling Liberal Party on the committee. It will also ency office. Photo by Stephen Petrick

Ellis said, to the government’s knowledge, there are about 700,000 military veterans living in the country, of which about 75,000 are veterans of the Second World War or Korean War. He also noted he knows how important it is to pay tribute to veterans, as his father served in the Second World War. “Growing up in a household with a veteran I understand the importance of the issues on this file,” he said.

Correction

A report from Hastings County Council concerning Stirling-Rawdon and its police costs included some errors. Mayor Rodney Cooney has said that the $6 million loss reported in the story is incorrect. The figure he actually gave was $1.6 miliion He also explained that the loss was not really related to police, but rath-

er provincial funding policies that keep cutting his municipality out, a form of downloading. He said his council has more meetings planned with provincial officials to review figures and policies, but remains concerned that small rural municipalities will continue to suffer from lack of understanding by Torontobased bureaucrats.
