News - Campbellford - Students helping students “HATCHâ€? plans at their schools to improve their day-to-day activities is again a reality. Made possible with money from the Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation’s (CSCF) Helping Assure Tomorrow’s Charitable Hearts (HATCH) Grants Program, students are deciding where to best spend the funds. “Each year schools can apply for a HATCH grant. It has to be student driven so the students decide what they think would improve their school,â€? said Patrick Muldoon a member of the foundation’s board and community liaison advisor. He is also a teacher at Hillcrest Public School. Muldoon was at St. Mary’s Elementary School last Friday to present the students with a $1,000 grant from the foundation’s HATCH program, to use as they saw ďŹ t.

The minister considers environmentalist activist as radicals. “These things are on a par with terrorism now.� Going one step higher, CSIS also sees environmentalists as a threat to Canadian security and even our sovereignty.

Dear Editor, Canada’s top cops, the RCMP, have concluded in a review that anyone critical of the petroleum industry may be a threat to our security. Can I say here that while mine owners seem to give diddly when a toxic tailing pond spews into rivers and lakes with the very predictable disastrous consequences and no one goes to jail, no environmentalist will consider blowing up a pipe line; the two minds are diametrically opposed.

swell Canadian coffers. Even the Fraser Institute (well funded by the USA energy sectors Kosh brothers), admits Alberta has squandered its oil wealth. We now live with the Harper law that all projects using any federal funds (taxpayer funds) over a million dollars must have a corporate partner to swell the costs. In Ontario these P3 proj-

ects have, according to Ontario’s auditor general, cost an extra eight billion more than if they were carried out in the normal manner. This amounts to around $1,600 per household. An excellent article in the CCPA Monitor by Toby Sanger fills in lots of details, including the $4.2-billion Spy Palace in Ottawa. Also recommended is the article by

Stephen Lewis whose ability to clearly state his thoughts is unmatched. Not to worry; another $11 million of taxpayers’ money in the pipeline for more pro government pre-election advertising, should make us feel warm and fuzzy. Paul Whittaker, Gilmour

Local health unit seeks input on future work News - Trent Hills - The local health unit is asking for the public’s input to strengthen ways the organization can accomplish the work proposed under its three new strategic priorities. The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit drafted three strategic priorities designed to help guide its work through to 2016. It is now asking for the public’s feedback to assess the relevance of these priorities and awareness of its programs and services. The strategic priorities are: Social Determinants of Health, Mental Health, and Communications. For each priority, the Health Unit has developed a series of actions and indicators of success. “Through our many programs and services, the Health Unit works with a variety of individuals and

organizations,� said Medical Officer of Health Dr. Lynn Noseworthy. “As an organization, we have determined what we think are the priorities that will strengthen the Health Unit’s programs and services to support our communities. We are now asking the people who receive our programs and services what they think about the actions and indicators of success for each priority.� Area residents are being asked to visit the Health Unit’s website <http://www. hkpr.on.ca/About/StrategicPlan.aspx> where they will find the Strategic Priorities Chart 2014-2016 and a link to a short online survey where they can comment on the priorities, actions and indicators of success and also indicate use and awareness of our programs and services. The deadline for completing the survey is Friday, Febru-

ary 20. “We value the feedback of our residents and community partners and hope that their input can strengthen the work we do under these priorities,� said Dr. Noseworthy. Once the survey results have been tabulated, the Health Unit will review comments and make any necessary changes to the priorities, actions and indicators of success. The final plan will be presented at a future Board of Health meeting and posted on the Health Unit’s website.

Angels of Care never fail to come through for hospital News - Campbellford - The eighth annual Angels of Care Campaign raised $165,448 for the purchase of high-priority equipment at Campbellford Memorial Hospital. CMH will use the money to buy arthroscopic instruments, specialized lights, a glidescope and a vital signs monitor for the operating rooms, hospital president and CEO Brad Hilker said in a news release. “We have added outpatient orthopedic surgery which brings the convenience of having surgeries such as a knee and hip arthroscopy ‘closer to home’ for patients in the Campbellford Memorial Hospital catchment area,� he said. Last year, more than 2,000 surgical procedures were per-

formed at the hospital and that number will grow as new services and efficiencies are implemented. Calvin Newman, chair of Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation, thanked donors, local businesses and hospital staff for their generosity in helping the hospital to add “new and enhanced surgical services.� Donors included Sally and Gord Wilkins, who explained why they support CMH. “We’re cottagers in the area and have used the emergency department at Campbellford Memorial Hospital on several occasions,� Sally Wilkins said. “We are so thankful and pleased with the treatment and care we received. The retired couple are grate-

ful the hospital, which they’ve used on occasion, is close by. “Gord is allergic to bee stings and carries an EPI pen,� his wife said. “He’s been stung a couple of times resulting in an unexpected trip to the ER.� A broken ankle has landed Sally Wilkins there as well. “We love the hospital and we’ve always found the care wonderful and quick,� she said. Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation will continue to raise funds for the Surgical Services Campaign over the next few months.

OPINION

Jewish mass emigration from Europe? Editorial - “We’re not waiting around here to die,” said Johan Dumas, one of the survivors of the siege at the kosher supermarket during the “Charlie Hebdo” terrorist attack in Paris in January. He had hidden with others in a basement cold room as the Islamist gunman roamed overhead and killed four Gwynne Dyer of the hostages. So, said Dumas, he was moving to Israel to be safe. It’s not really that simple. The 17 victims of the terrorist attacks included some French Christians, a Muslim policeman, four Jews, and probably a larger number of people who would have categorised themselves as “none of the above.” It was a Muslim employee in the supermarket who showed Dumas and other Jewish customers where to hide, and then went back upstairs to distract the gunman. And the Middle East isn’t exactly safe for Jews. Dumas has been through a terrifying experience. He now feels like a target in France, and no amount of reassurance from the French government that it will protect its Jewish citizens will change his mind. But Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu didn’t help much either. What Netanyahu said after the Paris attacks was this: “This week, a special team of ministers will convene to advance steps to increase immigration from France and other countries in Europe that are suffering from terrible anti-Semitism. All Jews who want to immigrate to Israel will be welcomed here warmly and with open arms. We will help you in your absorption here in our country, which is also your country.” He was at it again after a Jewish volunteer guarding a synagogue in Copenhagen was one of the two fatal victims of last week’s terrorist attack in Denmark. “Jews have been murdered again on European soil only because they were Jews,” he said, “and this wave of terrorist attacks–including murderous anti-Semitic attacks–is expected to continue.” “Of course, Jews deserve protection in every country but we say to Jews, to our brothers and sisters: Israel is your home. We are preparing and calling for the absorption of mass immigration from Europe.” As you might imagine, this did not go down well with European leaders who were being told that their countries were so anti-Semitic that they are no longer safe for Jews. It is true that five of the 19 people killed

in these two terrorist attacks in Europe since the New Year were Jewish, which is highly disproportionate. But it is also true that the killers in all cases were Islamist extremists, who also exist in large numbers in and around Israel. French President Francois Hollande said: “I will not just let what was said in Israel pass, leading people to believe that Jews no longer have a place in Europe and in France in particular.” In Denmark Chief Rabbi Jair Melchior rebuked Netanyahu, saying that “terror is not a reason to move to Israel.” The chair of Britain’s Parliamentary committee against anti-Semitism, John Mann, attacked Netanyahu’s statement that the only place Jews could now be safe was Israel. “Mr. Netanyahu made the same remarks in Paris–it’s just crude electioneering. It’s no coincidence that there’s a general election in Israel coming up …. We’re not prepared to tolerate a situation in this country or in any country in Europe where any Jews feel they have to leave.” It IS crude electioneering on Netanyahu’s part–but it is also true that even in Britain, where there have been no recent terrorist attacks, Jews are worried. Statistically, Jews are at greater risk from terrorism in Israel, but it’s much scarier being a Jewish minority in a continent where Jews were killed in death camps only 70 years ago. Given Europe’s long and disgraceful history of anti-Semitism, it’s not surprising that such sentiments persist among a small minority of the population. But at least in Western Europe (which is where most European Jews live) the great majority of people regard anti-Semitism as shameful, and most governments give synagogues and Jewish community centres special protection. What European Jews fear is not their neighbours in general, but radicalised young Islamists among their Muslim fellow citizens. The Muslim minorities in the larger Western European countries range between four and ten per cent of the population. If only one in a hundred of them is an Islamist then Jews do face a threat in those countries. But it is a very small threat. Nine Jews have been killed by Islamist terrorists in the European Union in the past year in three separate incidents (Belgium, France and Denmark). The Jewish population of the EU is just over one million, mostly living in France, the United Kingdom and Germany. Nine Jewish deaths by terrorism in a year in the EU is deplorable, but it hardly constitutes a good reason for encouraging mass immigration to Israel. Still, Netanyahu has an election to fight, and this sort of thing goes down well in Israel.

Promoting vaccines is a slow battle, but proponents are winning By Stephen Petrick Editorial - It’s been 15 years since the Ontario government introduced free flu vaccines to the public. While it would be nice to say it’s resulted in nothing but improved health and fewer illnesses for Ontarians, it would probably be safer to say it has led to 15 years of division between those who believe in vaccines and those who don’t. For the record, I’ll say I get a flu shot every year. Doesn’t bother me and I think it works. I’ve had a lot of sick days this winter, but none where I was bed-ridden with sneezes. The flu shot seems to save me from tipping over to uselessness (though my wife would disagree.) I also get them because I’m one of those people who trusts health experts. For years, I’ve seen media reports from the province’s top doctors urging people to get the vaccine, so I do it. But I’ve learned that not everyone thinks this way. A couple of years ago I worked at a health care organization. The staff nurse came to our building one day to give us the vaccine. I thought, “Great. No need to stand in line at a mall this year.” But others in the office expressed frustration, even fear. I suppose it comes from the fact that the flu vaccines are partly made up of an inactive dose of the flu virus, so to help a person’s body build up an immunity to the flu. In my colleagues’ minds, being asked to get the flu shot was like being asked to get the flu, so some didn’t. It doesn’t matter how much literature is out there saying otherwise, some people believe the vaccines will cause more harm than good. And that’s the biggest problem for those who believe in the importance of flu vaccines. They can present all the studies and statistics they want, but at the end of the day, each person chooses what to–or what not to–put in their body, as is their human right. And no court is ever going to force someone to take medication against his or her will. If an Ontario court can’t force the family of a cancer stricken First Nations

girl to undergo chemotherapy on the wishes of doctors–as we learned in a well-publicized case involving McMaster Children’s Hospital last November–it can’t force anyone to take the flu shot. But organizations can take some measures to encourage it. At the hospital I worked for we had a policy: if there was an outbreak of the flu only those who could present documentation showing they had the flu shot recently could work. Those who hadn’t been immunized would be at risk of being sent home without pay. Maybe acting on such policies is the only thing health care organizations can do. But, in the meantime, vaccine supporters can also read some positive signs into some recent news that show just how isolated unbelievers have become. At Queen’s University, an instructor for a health course, Melody Torcolacci, is under investigation after several students complained about her teachings. Apparently, a power point presentation as part of her course suggested that flu vaccines may not be safe for pregnant women and that measles vaccines can lead to autism, points that have been debunked by the scientific community. And then there’s the case of Jennifer White, the Markham mom who took to Facebook to condemn people for not vaccinating their children, after her infant son had to be isolated out of fears he had caught the measles. Her post went viral, with hundreds of thousands of people sharing it, leading many to write and say they’ll reconsider their stances against vaccines. Because no one wants to scare a newborn baby and their mom. The fight to encourage vaccinations is a slow battle and it will take people like White and whistle-blowing Queen’s students to move it along. But now it seems that believers are winning and not getting vaccinations is becoming little taboo. I’ll conclude by stealing a line from comedian Rick Mercer: Don’t be a prick, get one.

In a presentation to Council, Human Resources/Accessibility Coordinator Kirsty Brown provided a broad perspective on disabilities, pointing out that they can affect anyone, at any time of life, with some being visible and some not. This perspective provided important context for Ms. Brown’s review of barriers to accessibility, and what measures the County has put in place to date to tackle such barriers. She confirmed the County’s commitment to the four core principles of Dignity, Independence, Integration and Equal Opportunity for all. This presentation was part of the County’s annual report to Council on actions taken to meet requirements under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).

Get ready for some Greased Lightnin’ By Bill Freeman

Entertainment - Norwood - It’s crunch time for Norwood District High School’s production of one of Broadway’s all-time favourite musicals Grease. The hectic, stressful, exciting and, yes, even exhilarating technical details are being put firmly in place by director Haylei Cockburn and her team of keen production hands as they count down to their March 5 opening night. “We’re anxious to test it in front of an audience,” Cockburn said before Act I run-throughs that included dynamic versions of famously popular songs like Greased Lightnin’ and Freddy My Love. “There are still a couple of things to do [and it’s] quite stressful but we’re getting as much of it done as we can. We’ve pretty much got every costume done and the set is pretty much done,” Cockburn said.

Once again NDHS graduate and Wall of Honour inductee Debra RichardsonEdge is lending her considerable musical expertise to the show and also plays piano with the pit band trio that includes students Cam Pederson and Adam Stark, and Cockburn says it has been exciting to have the band in the theatre now working with the cast rather than rehearsing separately. “Now it’s a cohesive unit which is nice. We’re working really well together,” she said. The last NDHS production of Grease used recorded accompaniment. Grease is a “feel-good,” Cockburn says, that’s “fun to watch and fun to participate in.” Even the backstage crew are given to dancing to the songs, she said with a laugh. “It just gives off a really good vibe.”

The show includes students from every grade as well as two Grade 8 students from Norwood District Public School, Nolan Fluke and Sarah Wilson. For the graduating seniors it’s a fine way to cap their years at NDHS, Cockburn adds. “It’s a good way to spend some time together, to make some friendships and build relationships before they leave the school,” she said. It’s also a superb way to showcase what NDHS has to offer. “There are some talented kids here and it’s good to get a chance to show it off.” And with a show date set for NDHS feeder schools Cockburn also hopes that Grease “allows those kids to realize there’s a lot of fun stuff that happens at NDHS.” The show runs from March 5 to March 7.

New branch president for Trent Hills church as membership declines seeking among friends and family for someone to serve as second counsellor. Many local church members “have moved away to seek jobs elsewhere and the congregation are actively seeking to rebuild the branch membership,” the church stated. Born in Germany, Schubert came to Canada at two years of age with his parents and two siblings. He attended the Lutheran Church while growing up in Winnipeg and Barrie. At 18, following in the footsteps of his older brother, he was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. At 23, he was to begin a two-year full-time mission

for the church in the German-speaking area of Switzerland. “However, due to severe illness while he was at the Mission Training Centre in Provo, Utah, he returned home to Ontario.” Soon after he married to Bronwen Wannamaker, the daughter of Bob Wannamaker, a well-known political figure in the Trenton area. She works as a nurse at a nursing home. Schubert is an electrical and process leader at Procter and Gamble in Belleville. They are the parents of three grown children. The family comes often to Campbellford to visit Schubert’s father and step-mother.

A petting zoo party brings the magic of animals to your home. Kids tend to be in awe of animals of all different shapes and sizes, and a birthday party that showcases different creatures can be both fun and educational.

and a short enough time to ensure animals do not become aggravated. Petting zoo parties are good for children of all ages, and they may even make an entertaining addition to parties catering primarily to adults. When throwing a petting zoo party for a youngster, it is important that the child and his or her friends truly love animals. This can make the party that much more fun.

Spring Reduced Load Restrictions

County Council will meet on the following days at 9:30 a.m. to conduct its regular monthly business:

With spring finally coming, we move into the season where we need to ensure as the frost comes out of the ground, we maintain the condition of our roads for the safety of the travelling public.

Wednesday, March 18, 2015 Council Meeting

During the spring thaw period, typically early March to mid-May, some roads cannot withstand heavy vehicle loads. Every year, the County of Peterborough monitors thaw progression and depending on the progression of the spring thaw, restrictions can come into effect quickly, sometimes with only a few days’ notice. For more information check our website at: www.county.peterborough.on.ca

Wednesday, March 4, 2015 Council Meeting

Council Chamber, Peterborough County Court House, 470 Water Street, Peterborough, ON Pursuant to Section 291 of the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c.25, and in accordance with the County’s Notice By-law No. 83-2002, Peterborough County Council intends to adopt or amend the 2015 Budget for the County of Peterborough. Meetings are open to the public, with the exception of items that will be dealt with in closed session in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c.25. The County Council Agenda, and any required Addendum Agendas, will be available online prior to the meeting at https:// peterboroughcounty.civicweb.net/Documents/ DocumentList.aspx?ID=110125

will require the removal of the former Townsend property at 120 Grand Road. Construction of the bridge won’t happen for years, and the choice of the bridge site is the subject of an appeal by local residents, but the municipality bought Townsend’s house two years ago to allow him to move on with his life and not cause him further stress. Now it has a new tenant, Campbell, who plans to move into the building in April and officially open a gallery in June. Council agreed to the one-year lease last week, at $890 a month, utilities included, with an option to renew. Campbell had been looking for a place to set up a studio and gallery since losing her spot at the old tannery building in December. She plans to show her own original work in watercolours and acrylics as well as feature local artists and the work of her students. She currently teaches art classes in Trenton and at Hillside Haven in Campbellford; she also taught framing and painting for more than a decade through Loyalist College. With a master’s degree in fine art, Campbell has been teaching since she was 22. Her love of art began early in life and she had her first show by the

time she was 13. “That’s all I ever wanted to do was paint,” said the Toronto native, and having her pieces sell at such a young age “encouraged” her to pursue that as a career. “I’ve made my living at it [and] raised three daughters.” Campbell prefers realism, especially for portraits, which are her “bread and butter,” particularly around Christmas when she usually does about 20 portraits on commission. But she has done work that’s “very impressionistic.” Townsend said in an email “truth is stranger than fiction” that it’s another artist who will move into the place that once served as his studio and gallery. “I doubt there will ever be a bridge there,” he said, because the province is too deep in debt to provide the funding that is needed for the project. “The whole thing is ridiculous and detrimental to the town when the buildings next to the downtown bridge [the alternate site] are the eyesore,” he wrote. “Most small towns outside commuting distance to the GTA have been shrinking so it should be interesting to see what growth we have by the year 2024 when the current bridge is rated till 2044.”

Trent Hills to ask truckers not to be so loud when slowing down By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills - Trent Hills hopes to put a stop to noisy braking by heavy vehicles. It plans to erect courtesy signage at strategic gateway locations asking truckers to refrain from using engine-assisted braking systems within urban areas, except in emergencies. Council approved the new measure at its February 17 meeting after considering a report prepared by assistant manager of roads and urban services Chris Tye at the request of council. He said a review of municipal records over the past five years had not found any concerns being raised regarding noise related to the use of engine-assisted braking systems but Mayor Hector Macmillan said he receives complaints “all the time … especially [about their] use on the bridge.” He said a local trucking company, one of the municipality’s fire trucks and trucks passing through town resort to the practice “coming down off the bridge, and over the water it just thunders through the downtown. And they’ll use it at three o’clock in the morning. It wakes you up.”

Macmillan said complaints have been made in other parts of Trent Hills as well. “It’s mostly where the hills are,” he said. Councillor Ken Tully said it’s an issue near where he lives outside Hastings. The mayor explained truckers are not using engine-assisted braking “because they need to use it, they’re using it because they’re saving the brakes on their truck by wearing off the brakes on the trailer that belongs to someone else, that’s what it’s all about … All the load and inertia is being directed to the rear wheels of the trailer.” Elected officials were also given the choice of doing nothing, prohibiting engine-assisted braking altogether, or prohibiting while allowing for exception in the case of emergencies. Only one other municipality in Northumberland County has installed courtesy signage and that is Cobourg on Elgin Street East where there is “a demonstrated noise issue” as a result of “a history of multiple complaints,” Tye wrote. Council members pointed out courtesy signs are also used in

Havelock and Keene. Tye said engine-assisted braking systems are installed as a safety device in commercial vehicles during their manufacture “and if operating correctly … should not create excessive noise that would be likely to disturb surrounding bystanders.” The noise generally is the result of a vehicle being altered, modified or in disrepair, he stated. Tye cautioned that prohibiting or “unnecessarily discouraging” the use of engine-assisted braking “could expose the municipality to liability and put the general public at risk.” He also noted that enforcement of noise-related infractions “is extremely difficult” and given current resources, unlikely to be carried out “with any measurable success.” The municipality’s insurer recommended against a full prohibition. Installation of the signs at a cost of $300 apiece will require the cooperation of the county as all but one of the 14 potential locations on major roadways leading into residential areas in Trent Hills are under the county’s jurisdiction.

a daily basis, and Health Canada asserts that Canadians also eat roughly the same amount of sodium each day as their American counterparts. While sodium is an essential nutrient, the human body does not need a lot of it to reap its benefits. Bread, processed meats and soups are some of the major contributors of dietary sodium, so men, women and even children, who the AHA notes are far morelikely to develop high blood pressure as adults if they consume a high-sodium diet as a child, should study packaging on these items to ensure they aren’t overloaded with sodium.

Consuming excessive amounts of sodium not only affects your health but also may affect your appearance. A diet that’s rich in sodium has long been linked to a host of health problems, including high blood pressure, stroke, kidney disease, and stomach cancer. But consuming too much sodium also leads to increased water retention, which can cause weight gain and make men and women appear puffy and bloated. According to the American Heart Association, the recommended daily sodium intake is 1,500 milligrams. But the AHA notes that the average American consumes more than double that amount on

Boy requiring surgery receives support through crowdfunding By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - Help for a mom and her young son who is facing surgery for a rare congenital heart disease has been swift and successful thanks to a friend who used the power of social media. When Lindsay Andrews learned that her friend, Pamela McEvoy, also a mom, had decided to launch a campaign to raise money to help with her expenses, she couldn’t believe how quickly people responded. “Pam had messaged me and said there’s a group of us who want to help. I didn’t know the fundraising part of it,” Lindsay told the Independent. She learned of the campaign while on Facebook. “My photo was there and it said 28 friends have shared this picture and I thought what the heck is going on. I clicked on it and found the campaign and it had already raised $1,000. I was speechless.” The campaign had been set up on “GoFundMe,” a crowdfunding website that connects people to raise money for

PET

causes. Within four days the goal of $2,000 had been reached and at last count the fund was still growing and had reached $2,060. Lindsay’s son Cole (Gilmour), age eight, will be having his surgery at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. He will stay there for two weeks. When the doctors say it is okay for him to be released he will return home to recover for another 15 weeks. Lindsay will have to take time off work to care for him. Cole has a younger brother and a little sister at home too. “This is a long journey for him and his family. We have set up this account to help him and his family to be together, to help with medical costs, child care and travelling expenses,” wrote Pam on the GoFundMe website, hoping to raise awareness about the situation. “Every donation helps make this journey more financially manageable for his family.” The campaign is part of a grassroots organization under the umbrella of a new group

OF THE

Rambo

called the Trent Hills Moms In Need Initiative or MINI, which Pam established, after being contacted by her friend Megan Fox, who had learned about the situation. Megan is the founder of a group called the Brockville MINI, having discovered a need for moms in her community. She grew up in Campbellford and went to school with Lindsay and knows Pam too. “When I heard about Lindsay’s son my stomach dropped … we needed to do something,” she said. She contacted her friend Pam who did just that.

For Lindsay and her son now it is about continuing with their daily lives while they wait for that phone call telling them of the date of the surgery. Meanwhile Cole continues to attend Hillcrest Public School. “He can’t do anything physically demanding like play soccer or hockey,” said his mom, who recounted how he had his first surgery when he was only eight days old. “His diagnosis was Shone’s [Complex] syndrome, and includes HLHS [hypoplastic left heart syndrome] a birth defect and aortic stenosis,” she said calmly, knowing the challenges

they face. “I was devastated when I learned he had to have surgery … but at the same time I knew it was coming … I just didn’t know it was coming now.” The last word was that it would be a two- to four-month wait. For those wanting to learn more about the campaign to help Lindsay and Cole and/or to donate go to: <http://www.gofundme.com/HELP-COLE>. Cole Gilmour is like any other boy in many ways but he and his mom Lindsay Andrews have a huge challenge ahead of them. He is facing surgery for a rare congenital heart disease. Photo: Sue Dickens

Campbellford motorist rescues mother and infant from burning car According to the police report, “The 35-year-old Campbellford resident pulled the injured driver out of the minivan as well as her five-month-old infant while the vehicle continued to burn.” “The fire was in the front of the vehicle, on the driver’s side,” said Fry. Police, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Trent Hills Fire Department attended the scene. Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake said the fire had started in the engine compartment and was travelling into the passenger area when firefighters arrived. The fire was contained to the vehicle and quickly extinguished. Both the mother and infant, who are from the Trent Hills area, were transported by EMS to a local hospital for treatment. The driver sustained non-life-threatening injuries and the infant, “who had been restrained in a rear facing child seat,” was uninjured. Fry, “who risked his own safety”, was also uninjured, stated the OPP. Officers at the scene commended Fry for his selfless act and will be submitting his name for a commendation. Icy roads and blowing snow were contributing factors in the collision. Talking to Fry after the rescue, at his home in Campbellford, he said he doesn’t think of himself as a hero. “I’ve seen people go off the road before. I always keep a strap or chain in the back of my truck and I’ve pulled people out of the ditch before, but

nothing like this has ever happened,” he said. It wasn’t until after the rescue when he had returned to his dad’s home for a coffee that all of it hit him. “I just started shaking when I realized what had just happened,” he admitted. All he could think about later was what if that had been his family. Fry said he is just glad he was there to help. “I do feel good about it,” he commented. “I’m just happy that both of them are alive and well.” Fry did go ice fishing later that day, a sport he enjoys, a sport where he can relax, something he said he really needed to do that fateful afternoon.

R0013110095

Garneth Fry of Campbellford decided to go ice fishing last Saturday but little did he know his trip would take a detour. He said he saw a minivan skid into the ditch and a fire start at the front of the vehicle. When he realized there was a mom and her infant inside, he jumped into action, pulling them both to safety.

News - Havelock - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen wants to take a lead in organizing a meeting of Peterborough County municipalities on policing costs and contract options during this month’s Rural Ontario Municipalities of Ontario (ROMA)-Good Roads Association conference in Toronto. They need to “look at all the options,” says Mayor Ron Gerow. “I don’t think we can ignore this.” Officials from HBM were in the audience at a recent Douro-Dummer Township Council meeting along with the mayors of Asphodel-Norwood and Cavan-Monaghan when Peterborough Police Chief Murray Rodd made a presentation on the force’s ability to serve Douro-Dummer. Because Douro-Dummer and Cavan-Monaghan share a border with the city they’re in a position to sign a policing agreement with the city. If that were to happen, other municipalities could follow suit because of “contiguous boundaries.” A new OPP billing model has seen R0013155161

News - Trent Hills - Little did Garneth Fry know that when he left to go on a fishing trip last Saturday his plans would take a detour. Circumstance seemed to have put him in the right place at the right time and as a result of his own quick action he saved a mom and her infant from tragedy. “I was going fishing on Crowe Lake and ended up going to my dad’s where my buddy was, but he wasn’t home,” said Fry, as he related what happened that fateful day. That day Northumberland OPP had responded to a 911 call, a single motor vehicle collision on County Road 30 near the 12th Line West on February 21 at noon. The vehicle involved was a minivan and it was reportedly on fire. Officers spoke to the witness at the scene and that witness was Fry. He advised police that he observed a southbound minivan lose control, skid into a ditch then strike several trees. As he was stopping to lend assistance, he also saw that the vehicle was on fire. “As soon as I saw the fire I yelled at the driver to get out of her vehicle, it’s on fire, but she said she couldn’t walk and had a baby with her,” Fry told the Independent. It was at that moment he reacted. “So I just jumped in the ditch, grabbed the baby from the back in a rear facing car seat … the driver couldn’t get out on her own, she had broken her ankle on both sides so I got her out too,” he explained.

many municipal policing contracts skyrocket, including those in HBM and North-Kawartha, and the lobbying for changes province-wide has been loud and persistent. HBM’s 2015 OPP billing statement is $991,091; in 2014 it was $896,748; that will rise to an estimated $1,242,345 by 2017. Mayor Gerow says he’s spoken to Cavan-Monaghan CAO Yvette Hurley about “where we need to possibly be going with regard to possible options.” Gerow is in favour of a “joint effort” by the county’s eight municipalities to discuss how they might proceed. “Chief Rodd made it very clear that the city police would consider Cavan-Monaghan and Douro-Dummer for a starting point,” said deputyclerk Brian Grattan who attended the Douro-Dummer meeting with director of corporate services-treasurer Valerie Nesbitt. “He didn’t say he was looking at other municipalities at this point” but they’ve had expressions of interest,

Grattan added “[Chief Rodd] said nothing’s impossible. They feel they can get a good handle on those two municipalities. Their borders meet so either of those two municipalities could go ahead with a contract.” Grattan said that Chief Rodd was confident the city police could provide effective service in rural municipalities. The city force has experience in Lakefield, although only within the village’s limits. “Douro-Dummer holds the cards here as to any other municipality approaching [the city police],” he added. Mayor Gerow says his NorthKawartha counterpart, Rick Woodcock, is interested and the fact that other municipalities had representatives at the Douro-Dummer council meeting shows more than just curiosity. “I think it’s worthy of discussion. A number of us are interested in pursuing a costing model with the city,” he said. Looking at the creation of a “complete new police force” is also an option Mayor Gerow says shouldn’t be dismissed. “I know there are costs associated with it,” he said. Everything is “worthy of discussion,” he said. “There are options. I think North-Kawartha is looking at all the options.” “I’m not sure where this is all going in terms of dollars. We know what the costs are today [for the OPP] but they don’t include salaries and wages.” Gerow noted the pending 8.5 per cent increase in OPP salaries, wages and benefit. A meeting at the ROMA conference would be “a good start,” Councillor Barry Pomeroy agreed. Please see “Policing” on page 19

News - Peterborough - You’ve probably heard that one in five Ontario children and youth have a mental health issue. Is that number still true? The number came from the last Ontario Child Health Study, conducted in 1983 and 30 years ago the world was a very different place. The largest and most comprehensive study on child and youth mental health that has ever been done in Ontario is now under way and the Peterborough County-City Health Unit is excited that local families have been invited to participate. The 2014 Ontario Child Health Study (2014 OCHS), conducted by Statistics Canada, will invite over 13,500 families with children and youth ages four to 17 years living in 180 communities to participate. In addition, more than 200 schools from these same communities will be asked to participate in the School Mental Health Surveys conducted by McMaster University. The companion study will examine the link between schools and student mental health. The information gathered through both studies will provide a more complete overview of our children and youth than ever before, the health unit says. “More and more children are born into social and economic disadvantage, which increases their risk for poor health and lowers their life chances,” says Dr. Michael Boyle, the study’s principal investigator and Canada Research Chair in the Social Determinants of Child Health. “It is up to us to find strengths in families, neighbourhoods and schools that can offset these disadvantages and to challenge the health care system to better meet the needs of children and youth confronting mental health issues.” To obtain an accurate picture of child and youth mental health in Ontario, the 2014 OCHS partner, Statistics Canada, has randomly selected families across Ontario, including Peterborough. Letters were sent to these families

There is interest in what the city police “have to offer,” Pomeroy said. One of the unknowns, Gerow admits, is the impact on county municipalities if Douro-Dummer and Cavan-Monaghan “pull out” of the OPP contract. “There are a lot of [permutations] in all of this and I think it’s something we need to get on top of. If we’re going to review this, we’re going to review everything.” at the beginning of October 2014, and in the next couple of months, Statistics Canada will be following up by phone to enlist willing families for the 2014 OCHS. For most families, participation involves a one-and-a-half to two-hour home visit with an in-depth series of questions about mental and physical health, social relationships,

The PCCHU is part of the Community Food Network which includes the Nourish Project and it has made positive strides but Dr. Pellizzari and Doris urge local municipalities to become strong advocates for things like affordable housing, lobby hard for increased employment opportunities and work with senior levels of government to reform social assistance programs. Doris and Dr. Pellizzari praised Havelock’s Nourish project. “You need to have a unifying body to make it easier for community members to become involved in food. Nourish recognizes that,� Dr. Pellizzari said. “Food has that unifying draw to it; it brings communities together.� Initiatives like Nourish, she added, can become “tools for community development.�

ties from across Peterborough County make donations to the competition of various amounts with neighbouring Havelock-Belmont-Methuen matching Asphodel-Norwood’s last year at $100 while Cavan-Monaghan donated $500.

Flames need win at home to advance to Kawartha final

Campbellford was blanked in the shootout while Lindsay scored twice to even the best-of-three series at 1 - 1. “We didn’t have many of our players,� coach Brad Mountain said Monday, because of other commitments and a one-game suspension being served by a forward. But the fourth-year coach expected to have everyone back for the deciding game, except star defenceman Jakob Brahaney who played in the team’s 6 - 2 win February 19 and then left the next day to play for Team Ontario at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George, British Columbia. The winner of Tuesday’s match will advance to the Kawartha final, a fourteam tournament. In their win to open the series, the Flames were led by Ethan Perry, Caleb Crothers and Nate Dunkley, who each scored a pair of goals. Bailey Fife was in net for the win. The teams were tied 2 - 2 after two periods. With a record of eight wins, one Jakob Brahaney helped the Campbellford District High School Flames de- loss and two ties, the Flames finished feat Lindsay CVI Spartans 6 - 2 and then headed out west the next day to the season in second place behind the Haliburton Red Hawks, so it came as play for Team Ontario at the Canada Winter Games.

Prior to the start of the series, Flames assistant coach Doug Mathew described his team as “a good, young club� whose players work hard and have “a little bit of grit, a little bit of talent.� Its key players, he said, are Brahaney, and forwards Nate Dunkley and Matt Sherwin, all of whom play Triple A minor hockey.

Kailee reaches OFSAA goal

By Bill Freeman

Sports - Norwood - Kailee Rose had some unfinished business on the wrestling mat this year. The Norwood District High School fifth-year student fell one place short of a trip to the provincial high school wrestling championships last year and was determined to cap her career at NDHS with an appearance at OFSAA. “I had to come back and finish it,” Kailee told the Independent after her silver medal performance at the COSSA finals at Quinte Secondary School. Kailee took on Sadie-Jane Hickson of Lindsay Collegiate in the gold medal 47.5 kilogram final with both athletes advancing to OFSAA March 3 and 4 at the WFCU Centre on Windsor. “I got third last year so this year I knew I could achieve it,” the multi-sport student athlete

said. “One of my main reasons for coming back was to go to OFSAA. That was my main goal.” The three-year high school wrestling veteran figured she had a good chance because many of the competitors in the 47.5-kilogram division are first-year wrestlers so experience counts and from her first practice meet of the season she was keeping tabs on her rivals. “I got to compare what they were doing to what I’m doing and need to improve on,” she said of the first meet she attended this season. “Watching them I felt it was possible.” The provincial showdown at the home of the Windsor Spitfires will be on a different scale altogether, Kailee admits, with plenty of wrestlers with club backgrounds and perhaps even national level experience.

“I will be a little bit nervous because I’ve only wrestled at Norwood and never branched out. But I’m going to go in with everything I know and wrestle smart and wrestle safe.” Kailee is also an accomplished rugby player and says the skills she brings to the rugby pitch are transferrable to the wrestling mat. “They work well,” she says. “My strength is not [upper body] so I find leg takedowns easiest for me.” Kailee also soaks in what she sees others do at wrestling meets, especially the men’s 61- to 67.5kilogram class. “As you watch them you learn techniques for yourself, too, so going into each match I have all the things I would like to do but I have in the back of my mind what other wrestlers did in cer-

tain situations.” Kailee likes the fact that wrestling is both an individual and team sport and that competitors from other schools are more than willing to offer help. “You can work for everything for yourself but you have so many people around you. It’s such an individual sport but at the same time there are so many people to help you achieve your goals.” David Jararuse also earned a silver in the 67.5-kilogram class but was challenged by the third-place finisher and lost his bout so he doesn’t qualify for OFSAA but retains his COSSA silver; Alexa Vanderhorst (57.5 kilograms) and Saarah Rivera (64 kilograms) just missed out earning bronze. Brent Smith Kailee Rose of NDHS will compete at the OFSAA wrestling championships in (54 kilograms), an OFSAA competitor Windsor after earning a silver medal at the COSSA finals at Quinte Secondlast year, placed fifth. ary School.

Midget AE’s fall to Hawks in five By Bill Freeman

Sports - Norwood - The Tweed Hawks will move on to the OMHA Midget AE Group 4 semi-finals after edging the Norwood Hornets 2 - 1 in a thrilling game five showdown at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre. The Hornets had forced a fifth and deciding game with a tight 3 - 2 win earlier in the week and once again the two evenly matched teams put on a close and entertaining contest that Norwood led 2 - 1 until the 10:15 mark of the third when Tweed’s Noah Lynch tied the game. Norwood opened the scoring early in the first with a goal by Tyler Atkinson from Brandon

Forsyth and Cole Woodcock. They carried the 1 - 0 lead into the second frame but the Hawks quickly evened the score with Shawn Franks, from Lynch and Anthony Smith, striking on a powerplay 18 seconds into the period. The two teams battled the rest of the way with defence and strong goaltending holding the score at 1 - 1 until Lynch, from Dylan White gave Tweed the lead with what turned out to be the game winning goal. In game four, Norwood opened with a 2 - 0 lead on first-period goals by Cody Barrons and Tyler Barrons. Tweed cut the lead to 2 - 1 at the 13:55 mark of the second period on a goal by Kyle Cook from Andre

Tyron and Jarod Lough. Norwood moved in front 3 - 1 on an Eric Sicker goal with 4:40 left in the game but Tweed made it close once again when Smith, from Lough, scored 30 seconds later. Brad Smale and Jacob MacDonald earned assists on the Sicker goal. Norwood had a last gasp chance near the end of the game with a powerplay and their goalie pulled for a two-man advantage but Tweed defended furiously and stayed strong on the puck to deny the Hornets the tying goal. The Hawks will face the Blyth-Brussels Crusaders in the OMHA semi-final. BlythBrussels defeated the Muskoka Rock.

Vipers wrap up ACH season with 8 - 2 loss

By Bill Freeman

Sports - Norwood - They added one more win this season but the Norwood J.J. Stewart Vipers once again finished at the bottom of the Allan Cup Hockey League standings. The Senior AAA club wrapped up its 2014-2015 campaign with an 8 - 2 loss in Whitby with former Viper Matt Gray leading the first-place Dunlops with a hat trick. Stoney Creek (15-9-0) played spoilers Sunday night on the road knocking off Brantford (16-6-0-2) 4 - 3 in front of 1,500 fans to deny the Blast a chance at a first-place tie with Whitby (16-5-3). Dundas (10-13-1), the defending Allan Cup champions, finished in fourth. With three wins, the Vipers (3-20-1) improved on last year’s two-win campaign although one of their victories was a forfeit by the Generals after they failed to make a trip to Norwood because of a bus and scheduling mix-up. It was an interesting season for Norwood with head coach John Draper and assistant John Budd replaced by Tom Ruff after 16 games and a 2-13-1 record. The Vipers began the season with a six-game losing streak after starting off with a tight 4 - 2 loss to Stoney Creek.

The misery of losing that climbed to 26 straight games through two seasons finally ended with the forfeit followed by a solid 8 - 4 win over Dundas McCoys but that burst of hopefulness was clouded by a 12-game winless streak that ended with their best game of the year, a 5 - 3 win over talent-laden Whitby. Captain Darren Doherty, one of Senior hockey’s best players, had another all-star year leading the Vipers in scoring for the sixth straight time with 20 goals and 34 points for a share of fifth spot in the ACH with Whitby’s Shane Terry. It was Doherty’s seventh straight top-ten finish going back to his 20072008 rookie season in the old Eastern Ontario Senior Hockey League when he finished fifth overall and had a career high 29 goals. He spent 2012-2013 with Whitby while the Vipers took a one-season hiatus leading the Dunlops in scoring. Chris Johnston (5-15-20) finished second in Vipers scoring with Mike Hanna (8-10-18) third and Joe Curry (4-12-16). The Dunlops had a superb ACH season and are keen to return to the Allan Cup national championship for the first time since 2007 when they were edged

4 - 3 in the final by the Lloydminster Border Kings in Stony Plain, Alberta. They reached the final in 2006 but were beaten handily 7 - 1 by the host Powell River B.C. Regals. Gray and Brett McConachie did all the scoring for Whitby in the first period

each notching a pair of goals. Whitby led 5 - 0 before Norwood’s Chris Briffett scored. Two more goals by Gray and McConachie made it 7 - 1. Kevin Bartley notched Norwood’s second goal early in the third. Gray played for Norwood in 2008-

Cordova Cup winners

2009 scoring 15 goals and helping them to a third-place finish. The Vipers lost a memorable seven-game semi-final to Whitby. Following that season Gray left to play for the Portage College Voyageurs of the Alberta College Athletic Conference. The hometown Havelock team of Mike MacLeod, Christian LaChapelle, and Max MacLeod, captain Blake MacLeod, Mitch Klompmaker and Nick LaChapelle took the sixth annual Cordova Outdoor Classic Cup championship on a cold and sometimes snowy day in Cordova Mines. Teams from as far away as Bramalea, Orangeville and Georgetown competed in the outdoor shinny fest to help raise funds for the Cordova Mines Recreation Association. Tending goal in the final were Cam Klompmaker and Dean LaChapelle. Photo: Sophie Beckford

Enthusiasm revives Eldorado sled dog race

By Diane Sherman

Sports - Eldorado - After a lapse of four years sled dog racing has returned to Eldorado. A fledgling group of enthusiasts organized a 30-mile race, February 21, from the Madoc Township hall. Marmora musher Shane Cox, Omiske Kennels, set out to bring the sport back to Eldorado where the Gold Cup was held until 2011, when volunteer support began to wane as older enthusiasts stepped down. Eldorado hall had once been an overnight stop for mushers leaving Marmora in the first race of the Triple Crown long-distance circuit, a 150mile run through the back roads of Twin Sisters in Marmora and Lake, across to Eldorado, up to Gilmour and back into Marmora. The route changed a few times, but Eldorado was always a warming depot with hot meals and story telling. Mushers from across Canada and the United States met in Marmora for the first race, then went on to a 200-mile run in Maine before a 400-mile run across Labrador. Veteran musher Don McEwen, of Eldorado, said the sport has declined over the years as mushers aged and few new ones have taken up the sport. Cox and a small band of volunteers hope to renew interest and recruit more helpers. If participation warrants, they might bring back the six-dog, ten-mile sprints. Eight mushers who came out for this race were grateful for a chance to run their dogs. Winner of the sportsmanship trophy, Thomas Pryde, Windrift Kennels, came in third in the 30-mile run. He and fellow musher Renata Sauder drove

from Severn, near Orillia. First-place finisher Keri Buttle is from South River, north of Huntsville. Ken and Jacob Golton of L’Amable hosted her and her dogs overnight, then came to Eldorado to race. Jacob took second place, with Ken finishing fourth. The eldest musher, Frank Horn, is familiar with the Eldorado trail. He ran in the Gold Cup until it folded. Older now, Horn says he doesn’t travel more than a couple of hours to race, so, Eldorado, a short distance from home in Elphin near Maberly, was an opportunity to let his dogs get out on the trail again. For 14-year-old Brady McConkey, of Wellington, the race was a chance to hone his skills and give his dogs experience, as it was for Renata Sauder who was breaking in a young lead dog. Cox became an enthusiast 17 years ago when his family hosted a checkpoint at Twin Sisters during the Triple Crown. He, his wife Nicole and their children, and extended family, are still excited about the sport. Debbie and Tom McFarlane took on the job of timekeepers, as they do for the Marmora sled dog races. Robert Derry had the job of trail boss while his wife Carol rallied local vendors to set up in the hall where the Madoc Lions Club hosted the canteen and sponsored rental of the recreation centre. Twenty-nine different sponsors from Tweed, Madoc and Marmora contributed prizes and funds in support of the event. Organizers acknowledged support of sponsors, landowners, and volunteers. They look forward to another meet in 2016. Young musher Liam McFarlane was not deterred by blowing snow, nor were a dozen other entrants in the Little Nippers race at Eldorado Saturday.

There are about 54 films being shown. As a longtime representative of P.A.C.E. Graham is no stranger to showcasing movies about the medical use of marijuana, something he has done for years here in town at the former Grindhouse CafĂŠ, just doors from his home. He is very familiar with reaching out to people with his message having also manned a booth at the National Women’s show in Toronto a few years ago and the National Home Show. “DocFest will be like going to TIFF [Toronto International Film Festival] for me,â€? he said with a grin. The organization P.A.C.E. is the official presenter of the documentary which is a two-hour film directed by Brett Harvey and is billed as “The truth behind the marijuana debate.â€?

Local author shares early history By Diane Sherman

Lifestyles - Madoc - Madoc Public Library recently hosted locally born author Marjorie McMullen-Parks. Born as Marjorie Brownson, she was raised in the Spry Settlement area where a road is named after her ancestors and the Brownson Rapids still flow swiftly nearly 170 years after Martin Brownson settled there. (Marjorie is adamant about the spelling of the original name, “It is with a ‘W’; many have changed the spelling, but, the original name is

Brownson, not Bronson.”) Percy Brownson, Marjorie’s father, was the youngest grandchild of Martin, who gained his land through service in the War of 1812. The novel, titled Footprints In America, an historical novel, spans a period of 375 years she explains in the introduction. The book relates the time from 1636 and ends with the settlement of the Brownsons in Rawdon Township in the mid-1800s. The Brownson family has a long

and rich history, filled with early life in the Americas, revolutionary wars and fleeing to Canada as United Empire Loyalists, a life McMullen-Parks says she tells not only for her own family, but for all early pioneers. “It could be the story of most of the brave families in that era, who suffered incredible, almost impossible, grief and hardship to make a better life for their families,” she writes in the preface of her 250-page book published by Epic Press, Belleville, Ontario.

“Originally, I was only going to research our family history. Then my computer broke down and I set it aside. It wasn’t until I settled in Belleville that I picked it up again with the intent to do a book.” She notes it was a matter of finishing what she had started. The contents are well researched. Marjorie travelled to Vermont and Connecticut, and established a friendship with a researcher at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., where a cousin helped in the process. She continued to hone her script into a novel, adding a bit of fictional interpretation to the facts. Her research took her to the library in Fredericton, New Brunswick, where many Loyalist families were transferred after the revolution. She then journeyed to LaColle, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, where her great-greatgrandfather finally received land for his loyalty to the Crown, and where, she found the grave of her great-greatgrandmother, Leah Northcott BrownsonBrevort. The book is an interesting journey through a history of settlement in Canada. Numerous names are found throughout, in various locations, over a long, long, period of time. Marjorie, and her father, Percy, were both born in the same family house on the Moira River, part of the property Martin Brownson purchased after the War of 1812. Her family intermarried with local

families from Rawdon, Huntingdon and Madoc Townships. The book should prove interesting for anyone in Hastings County, or anyone whose family fled north in those tumultuous years of early Canada. Stirling residents will remember Marjorie Brownson-McMullen-Parks as the owner of the Village Shop ladies wear store. She married Ralph McMullen and moved to Batawa. She now lives in Belleville with her second husband, Clifford Parks.

News - Belleville - Ontario’s colleges have begun local consultations to finalize a new stand-alone Sexual Assault and Sexual Violence Policy and Protocol that will be publicly promoted at all colleges, including Belleville’s Loyalist College, by March 31. “Protecting our students and everyone on our campuses is essential,” said Loyalist College president and CEO Maureen Piercy in a press release. “The new policy and protocol will help ensure that clear information is widely available and that there is immediate and effective help for victims of sexual assaults.” The presidents of the 24 colleges endorsed the framework for the Sexual Assault and Sexual Violence Policy and Protocol at a meeting in Toronto last week. The colleges and representatives from Colleges Ontario (the advocacy organization for the colleges) will now be consulting with student leaders, government officials, the Ontario Women’s Directorate, OPSEU and others on the policy and protocol. The feedback will be incorporated into the materials as they are finalized for the end of March. The comprehensive materials were developed by a task force that included senior college leaders, a student representative and legal experts. Building

on existing policies and practices at the colleges, the materials include recommendations for promoting greater awareness at colleges and establishing a clear protocol for responding to cases of sexual assault and violence. The materials also include information about protecting people’s privacy and the steps that should be taken if someone witnesses a sexual assault or has learned about a sexual assault. As well, the colleges are seeking provincial changes to better support victims of sexual assault. For example, the colleges are recommending the provincial government take steps to ensure that victims throughout the province have immediate access to 24hour emergency hotline services. The provincial government is also being asked to consider regulatory changes that might allow colleges and the police to share more information in certain circumstances. The colleges’ proposals might help inform the current government’s action plan on sexual assault that is expected to be developed by March 8, International Women’s Day. “We look forward to working with our students and others to ensure the policy and protocol are easily accessible and clearly understood,” said president Piercy. “Promoting awareness and support will be an ongoing effort.”

TRAVEL

Exploring the Greek Island of Mykonos

Arriving at Chora of Mykonos.

Lifestyles - Tourism is the main industry on the Greek island of Mykonos, and it has become a very popular destination for the rich and famous. The small island is home to only about 10,000 permanent residents, and it spans an area of 85.5 square kilometres (33 square miles), and rises to an elevation of 341 metres (1,119 feet) at its highest point. Most of the island’s inhabitants live on the west coast, in one town, Mykonos, which follows a common practice in Greece to name the principal town the same as the island. However, it’s also referred to as Chora (Greek for “The Town”). Therefore, the majority of the permanent population lives in Chora of Mykonos. The island of Mykonos is primarily recognized by the relatively small (one or two-storey) white cube houses, trimmed in blue, that are sprinkled around its hilly, rocky landscape, but in Chora of Mykonos, you’ll find a plethora of trimming colours accompanying the whitewashed houses. You’ll also find that many of the houses have a flight of outside stairs, parallel to the road, that lead to a wooden painted balcony that often projects over the road and nearly touches that of the house next to it. You’ll also find lots of souvenir shops, restaurants, and nightclubs amid the town’s very old and narrow alleyways and roads, where it would be impossible for two vehicles to actually meet. There are also some picturesque old windmills here (where the islanders used to bring their wheat and barley to be made into flour), and an area that’s known as “Little Venice” where the houses have been built on the sea’s edge, with the balconies actually overhanging the water. There’s also a nice beach in town offering a view of two nearby hills that are known as “Aphrodite’s breasts”; there are several interesting museums, including the Aegean Maritime Museum, with its collection of ships, and the Archaeological Museum of Delos, with its magnificent display of rare historical statues unearthed on the nearby island of Delos. Day trips to the island of Delos are

available from Mykonos, providing the visitor an opportunity to check out this sacred island of the ancient Greeks and the supposed birthplace of Artemis and Apollo. The three-hour tour will include a glimpse at the remains/ruins of the Temple of Apollo, Cleopatra’s house, the amphitheatre, and the Delos Lions (Terrace of the Lions). The island of Delos is now one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. After checking out both Delos and Chora of Mykonos, it’s rather interesting to simply take a tour of the rest of the island of Mykonos itself, using the narrow, twisting, hilly roads, and it’s worth stopping at the village of Ano Mera, where you’ll find the Panagia Tourliani Monastery. I went inside this beautiful church and met one of the two monks who reside here; he’s now an elderly man, an orphan, who has resided

in this monastery since the age of 11. I also visited the town square, where, at a bar in this area, I tried some of the local ouzo, Greece’s most popular drink. I’d also recommend a visit to the northwestern tip of Mykonos, where the Armenistis Lighthouse, built in 1891, is located. It overlooks the strait that separates Mykonos and the island of Tinos said to be the holiest island of modern Greece. Before the increase in tourism on Mykonos, times were rather tough, and the inhabitants tried to eke out a living by fishing, constructing ships, or farming. Now, with the great increase in curious visitors, the times have changed here, and the prices have escalated. As you drive on this island, you’ll still see several rock fences that were The narrow streets and crowds of tourists in Chora of Mykonos. used to keep livestock in, but you won’t find much fertile land for the growing of crops. You won’t find a lot of lush trees here, for the rocky soil, harsh winds, and lack of rain have stifled their growth. In actuality, there’s not a lot of vegetation at all. Therefore, there’s a kind of barren, desolate appearance to much of this island, and lots of rocks. You’ll also discover a few tiny hamlets scattered about the island, and hundreds of tiny churches (white, with blue domes). My guide told me that “Mykonos” basically means “pile of rocks,” and according to The island has a rather barren, rocky landscape, and many rock fences. Greek mythology, this island is the location where Heracles (the Roman Hercules) killed the giants. The rocks found around this island are supposedly their corpses.

Espalier is easy

The Good Earth:

The next two columns are a condensation of our conversation. Way, way back, perhaps even to the days that the Garden of Eden was first planted, the growing technique of espalier has been a mainstay of exceptional gardens. The word derives from scapula (shoulder blade), morphed over the years (via French and Italian etymological highways), think of shoulder high, to pruning to the How a trip to the Dentist could horizontal. mean a better night’s sleep: Espalier, as a noun, is the actual Part Two fruit tree or shrub mask that must be connected which is trained to to the patient at all times during grow flat against a sleep. However, studies show wall, supported on that compliance with CPAP

Lifestyles - Gentle reader, I had the pleasurable experience of chatting with the Lennox and Addington Horticultural Society in Napanee recently. The topic for the evening was “Espalier” and I thought it went very well. This means folks asked questions about the topic at hand, did not throw things at me and did not present a motion to adjourn during the talk. I hope to enjoy a return visit.

Last time, we discussed how sleeping problems like obstructive sleep apnea can affect your overall health and how your dentist can help in detecting these problems given the multitude of oral indicators of someone suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. To review, these manifestations include: The third treatment option is the use of an oral appliance, • Enlarged scalloped tongue • Pain on palpation of the jaw supplied to you by your dentist. The goal of oral appliance joints therapy is to reposition the • Jaw joint sounds when opening or closing the mouth lower jaw and tongue in order to create a favourable • Crowding of teeth environment for air to flow to • Wear patterns on teeth the lungs. Success rates have Through a thorough clinical been as high as 76% in treating examination, your dentist can mild to moderate cases of detect these signs that may obstructive sleep apnea. The encourage him/her to refer advantages include: you to your medical doctor for further investigation of potential • Non-invasive treatment sleep apnea through a sleep test. • Less noticeable than CPAP If the sleep test confirms that machine you indeed have obstructive • Reversible therapy sleep apnea, there are a number • High patient compliance of treatment options available If you have trouble sleeping to help optimize the amount of at night, wake up tired in air travelling to your lungs so the morning, or your partner that you can breathe properly complains of your snoring during your sleep. The three throughout the night, talk to your treatment options include: dentist or family doctor about 1. CPAP machine the possibility of obstructive 2. Surgery sleep apnea. The first step in 3.Oral appliance therapy getting better sleep is identifying the problem and this can only be done by consulting either your dentist or family doctor. Just think, a visit to your dentist could mean a good night’s sleep in the future.

labour (once established, enhance fruit quality and create physical barriers). Another reason for espalier is to stretch our gardening envelope. We enjoy gardening, we enjoy time spent nurturing our plants but accepting a ho-hum conventional horticultural paradigm is just not us. We want to try something different. Yes, we’ll be interested in new cultivars each spring but there are only so many ways to plant a geranium or grow a radish. How about creating a Belgian Fence to enclose a cozy corner nook? Another reason is that we are becoming much more health conscious, and are intrigued about the idea of growing our own vitamins and anti-oxidants: think apples, cherries, blueberries and kiwi. I know that kale is probably the Vitamin C darling of the new age but I doubt if it is a good candidate for espalier. The challenge, then, is to fit all of these healthy sustainers into our smaller growing space. Espalier is the perfect answer. You can use a wall or fence and make elaborate designs, such as cordons, candelabras, fans, or even hippy-dippy peace signs. Espalier should not be confined to only food production; remember, it is also a gardening art and, with that in mind, the only restriction is your imagination. Do you have a south-facing white- washed stucco wall that reflects so much heat that the garden soil resembles the sands of the Sahara? Espalier some pyracanthus, perhaps Yukon Belle firethorn. It will love the heat, it will cool the soil, and it will cool the interior of the house. On the north side, why not leave the English ivy in the old churchyard and espalier rhododendrons? A consideration: many trees and shrubs will live longer than a wall will

machines is poor. This may be due to a number of problems associated with its use. These include trauma to the bridge of the nose by the mask, bloating of the stomach, and nasal congestion. Also, the device is not mobile and therefore restricts movement during sleep. The other treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea is surgery. Surgery can be effective in removing anatomical obstructions such as enlarged tonsils, however studies show it is only 30-50% effective.

a lattice or a framework of stakes Used as a verb, espalier means to accomplish the above. If you make a make an error, while performing the above, you might use nouns and verbs but perhaps they will be chosen from a different lexicon, one a titch more piquant. Espalier is only one form of directed or interventional growth that we associate with specialised gardening. We can think of bonsai, or on a larger scale, Japanese garden tree, topiary, pleaching, pollarding, cloud or hindupan, knot gardens, parterres, and to some extent, mosaiculture which combines several of the forms. Practical reasons for espalier are maximise limited space, minimise

Dan Clost stand. So, here are two places not to espalier: on a fence running along a disputed property line; the rickety old garden shed that will be torn down in a few years as soon as time and money allows. On second thought those two things have never happened in my back yard so just ignore that one. It is very important to not lose track of the cultural requirements and compatibilities of the plants. For example, if you are growing apples, it would help to have suitable pollinators. If you’re adding a peach into the apple/ cherry mix; then you need to use lime sulphur not copper sulphur; you wouldn’t expect to see firethorn and rhododendron side by each so don’t expect to espalier them side by each. It is not quite bonsai, think more along the lines of a Japanese Garden Tree, but you are limiting the ability of the plant to feed itself. This means you need to pay special attention to fertilising (feed the soil not the plant), watering and pests. In short, you need to do everything you need to do in a regular regimen: all you’re really doing is training the plant to grow the way you want it to. It really is that simple.

Make this a March Break to remember with the Grade 4-5 SnowPass Lifestyles - Looking for fun things to do as a family this March Break? Now’s your chance to show your kids what a Canadian winter is all about. Put on your thermal gear, grab your mitts, zip up your coats, and head to the nearest ski hill for a full day of family fun. Skiing and snowboarding are not only great ways to make the winter months more enjoyable, they also provide the opportunity to get outside and be active, while enjoying new activities together as a family. Getting your kids involved in physically active sports can help improve their confidence, allow them to make new friends, learn new skills, and enjoy the great outdoors. What better way to accomplish all of these things than with the most affordable skiing and snowboarding program available in Canada; the Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass.

The Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass is perfect for beginners and seasoned skiers and snowboarders alike. Applying for a SnowPass is easy.

Taste of College workshops exposes kids to cool careers By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - How do you separate turkey and chicken DNA? Sounds like the start of a joke, but it was actually the basis of a biosciences exercise completed by high school students as part of the Taste of College event last week. Dozens of local high school students attended special workshops at Loyalist College on Thursday, February 19, as the college was vacated by students on reading week. The event allowed prospective Loyalist students to learn about what the college has to offer. Workshops were held for students interested in a number of tradesrelated programs, including automotive, culinary and welding courses. One of the interesting courses took place in the biosciences lab where instructor Kari Kramp and Robyn Neri, a chemical engineering student, taught students how to Kira Rogers (l) and Haley Woods, both Grade 11 students at Nicholson Catholic College, work on an separate turkey and assignment in a biosciences lab at Loyalist College, as part of the Taste of College event. This assign- chicken DNA.

The task involved electrophoresis, the task of running an electrical charge in a substance, which sends some material toward a positive charge and other material toward a negative charge. The consensus among the ten students participating was that it was a pretty interesting assignment, one to which high school students aren’t normally exposed. Neri was helping with the program as part of her involvement with Let’s Talk Science, a group that promotes sciencerelated courses to young people across Canada. She said students who pursue this type of bioscience education can find themselves in a number of careers. They

can end up working as a lab technician for a health care organization or find themselves doing environmental work. The DNA exercise was offered to the students with hopes that they’d find it cool. After all, it sounds like an experiment done on a sci-fi TV show, doesn’t it? “It’s relatable,” she said. “A lot of students watch CSI and it’s something they wouldn’t normally do in high school.” Kramp echoed Neri’s comment that biosciences can lead students to a number of interesting fields. “Our graduates get a lot of great jobs,” she said. “They learn to work with instruments like what they use on CSI.”

Students offer suggestions in marketing new field house By John Campbell

News - Campbellford - There’s been a lot of talk this winter about the cold but 30 students at Campbellford District High School (CDHS) spent last Friday talking ICE instead–but not the kind you’re thinking. ICE stands for Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship. The day-long training session in making use of those abilities served as a pilot for the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board in the certification of Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) students who demonstrate a talent for solving real-world problems. The challenge presented SHSM students from three learning streams–business, construction, and arts and culture–was to come up with ideas on how to market the field house being built in Hastings. The issue was framed by members of Flourish, the Trent Hills campaign to raise $7 million for the redevelopment of recreational facilities in Trent Hills, the purchase of hospital equipment, and the establishment of community funds for Warkworth and Hastings. Divided into six groups, the 30 young people produced “many terrific ideas” for the

Flourish committee to consider, said Andrea Vanden Tillaart, arts and business studies team leader at CDHS as well as its SHSM coordinator. Solutions included making greater use of social media “to gain the attention of the teen and twenty-something target markets,” and offering access to a wellness coach “could provide support for physical fitness, healthy food preparation, menu planning and goal-setting.” Fun runs and sports workshops were also suggested, she said in an email. “They were so engaged in the process and they did a great job at providing some suggestions,” said Martha Murphy, executive director of the CampbellfordSeymour Community Foundation. One that might be utilized is to set a student rate, “because they certainly want to access the field house,” but have limited funds, she said. They also suggested opportunities for making the facility “friendly for youth,” such as a rock-climbing wall, said Trent Hills community services officer Scott Rose. “We’re going to review the ideas and see if there is anything that we

can accommodate as part of the program.” The $4.8-million air-supported field house, scheduled to open in the spring, will accommodate a variety of sporting activities, such as volleyball, indoor soccer, lacrosse and basketball, as well as trade and craft shows, concerts and birthday parties. A soccer field for adults is also being built. “It will become a real community hub,” a place where people will come together to be active, socialize and share ideas, hospital foundation executive director John Russell told the students. “Our medical staff have already started to think about how we can use the field house” for rehabilitation programs to assist in the recovery of patients who have had surgery. “I thought it was a lot of fun,” as well as “cool how we got to actually help something that will be going into our community and not just a made up thing!” Brittney Seymour, a Special High Skills Major student in Grade 12, said in an email. It “was a really good way to teach students about many aspects of the business world” they might not be aware of, added Jared

Kurkilahti, a fifth-year SHSM student. He doesn’t consider himself “very entrepreneurial” but saw himself “being more confident in pitching ideas to groups” as result of last Friday’s experience. He enjoyed the issue being

tackled in stages and that groups shared ideas which “made it a lot more engaging,” he said in an email. “ICE was by far one of the most fun experiences that I’ve had in a long time. It was simple to understand, but the solutions

that could be thought up were nearly limitless.” Kurkilahti strongly urged other SHSM students to sign up for ICE if offered again “to learn and share their thoughts and ideas” about projects in future.

The 30 students who took part in the ICE pilot project at CDHS February 20, including l-r, Chloe Whalen, Janessa Reid, Debi Sallans and Jeremy Brunton, were given a warm-up exercise: build the tallest freestanding structure using 20 pieces of spaghetti, masking tape, a metre-long piece of string, and a marshmallow.
