By Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - The War Amps of Canada has praised the “generosity and dedication” of the student organizers of the second an-nual Norwood District High School tractor parade which raised $1,600.

“The students at Norwood District High School have shown such generosity and dedication to raising money for such a special organiza-tion,” says Jamie Lunn, pub-lic awareness officer for The War Amps.

Lunn is an NDHS alum-nus and lifelong beneficiary of The War Amps and its programs for children and youth. She has made a point of giving back to the school herself by donating material from The War Amps Mili-tary Heritage Series and a six DVD set of World War II newsreels so there is a shared and strong connection between the school and the organization. The student organizers of the second annual NDHS tractor parade present a cheque for $1,600 to Denise Calder who represented The War Amps of Canada. From left to right are

Student “generosity, dedication” praised

By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbellford - The buzz of chainsaws replaced the crashing sounds made by tree limbs coming down as clean-up began after the ice storm that hit much of Ontario last Friday into Saturday.

Power outages were reported across the province and Trent Hills was no excep-tion.

Here in Campbellford power was lost early Friday morning and Hastings area followed shortly after.

Both towns had their power back on later in the day, Campbellford’s returned about 5:30 p.m.

Reports from Warkworth indicated power wasn’t back on until Saturday af-ternoon.

Parts of Norwood were still without power on Sunday.

The Hydro One storm centre web site still showed multiple outages on Monday.

At one point 150,000 people were with-

out hydro from Penetang to Kingston to Toronto.

For folks like Erin Garvey, who has lived here all her life, it meant scrambling when the power went out. She and her family live on Meyers Island and the big problem they faced was flooding. Hours of freezing rain followed by rain and strong winds made roads treacherous and base-ment flooding a problem in several areas.

We caught up to Garvey at Canadian Tire, one of only two places that could be found open.

She was buying a generator to get their sump pumps working again.

“We have two sump pumps and we already had to move furniture out of the basement … all the kids’ bedrooms are down there,” she said.

Aaron Macanuel, the owner of Cana-dian Tire here, said as soon as the power went out their natural gas generator fired up giving them the power they needed to

stay open.Once the word got around town people

were showing up to buy everything from flashlights to batteries to generators.

“We brought in an emergency order of generators Saturday night and sold close to 50,” he said.

“In a state of emergency such as floods, fires, power outages the company will ex-pedite the product to the stores … whatever they have left in the distribution centres,” he explained.

Sharon Peeling of Campbellford was buying batteries.

Without a generator at home or heat, she said pragmatically, “We’ll just put more clothes on if we get cold. Not much you can do about it.”

Predictions changed throughout the day but at one point Hydro One said it could be as late as 11 p.m. Sunday night before power would be restored in this area.

“Part of a tree came down and took half

our eavestrough off,” said Peeling, before heading to the checkout.

Down the road and across the bridge, Dooher’s Bakery was open and even with-out any lights on, (they had no backup generator), the word was out and people were stopping in to buy their famous baked goods.

Gary and Jane Schuell, who live half-way between Campbellford and Stirling, said, “We came up here for a place to eat and found them open … We’re just really upset about all the trees that are down.”

Debbie Fillier who works behind the counter said the day’s baking was done be-fore the power went out.

At Island Park Retirement Community residents were settled with a bingo game scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

“We’re running off our backup genera-tor so we have adequate lighting and emer-gency outlets if someone needs oxygen.

2 Trent Hills Regional News - Thursday, April 18, 2013

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Hastings - The news couldn’t have been better for the Hastings Founders Week part-nership. The group—the Hastings Historical So-ciety, Friends of the Hastings Library and Legion Branch 106—has received a $32,700 Celebrate Ontario grant which will allow organizers to un-veil a series of projects throughout 2013, includ-ing their traditional August celebration.

“It’s fantastic and it’s offi cial,” Skye Morrison told the Northwest EMC.

Entitled the “Rural Arts Festival Throughout the Year,” the Hastings Founders Week kicks off June 1 as part of the Northumberland Coun-ty Doors Open program which will feature four Trent Hills venues including Hastings’ legendary Riverside Dance Pavilion which will feature dis-plays on the history of dance, dance instructors and talks by two previous owners.

The highlight at the Riverside will be a free evening dance led by members of one of the fi rst bands to play at the pavilion, The Potter Family.

“It’s totally cool,” says Morrison, Founders Week artistic director.

“The whole point of Doors Open is to have a free event in the community that does something that isn’t traditional and celebrates something to do with heritage. The dance hall was such an im-portant part of Hastings history.”

The county’s Doors Open theme is “Celebrate Culture” and Morrison says that rather than fo-cusing exclusively on architecture, organizers are “really looking at it as a cultural event.”

Other Trent Hills sites are the Aron Theatre, Schoolhouse Gardens and the Memorial Commu-nity Hall and the JD Kelly Exhibit.

Spreading Founders events over the year will not only be easier but more gratifying, says Mor-rison.

During the fi rst Founders Week organizers tried to hold 17 events in one week.

“We practically killed ourselves. It doesn’t have to all be in one week.”

Some will be held during the traditional Found-ers Week (August 9-17) like the full-fl edged Fi-bre Arts Festival organized in collaboration with Lang Pioneer Village.

There will be a dye workshop at Lang and quilting and printing workshops in Hastings as well as a full-day symposium and textile arts fest at Lang.

Among the other Rural Arts Festival events will be 150th anniversary of Hastings United Church and a June 30 ecumenical waterfront service with the Reverend Jamie York taking on the role of an old-time circuit preacher.

Morrison hopes to have a gospel choir at this event.

There will be a celebration of local food at the Village Chicken Supper which will include the fi rst-ever Hastings Buttertart Contest.

There will be a sports-themed exhibit at the Hastings Waterfront Festival focusing on Dit Clapper, the Hastings Legionnaires lacrosse team and local baseball.

An exciting initiative is bringing a travelling First Nations storyteller into elementary schools in Roseneath, Hastings, Norwood and Keene. This project is being co-ordinated by Aron Bell and Melody Crowe.

Two years ago Bell brought his talents to Founders Week.

“But it was in the summer so it didn’t have the right impact,” Morrison said. “It’s better to do it at the beginning of the school year in October.”

An author’s night on the importance of rural churches, Prairie Days at the Blackoak Savanna in Alderville, midnight fi shing madness, a heri-tage walking tour and the republication of Birth of a Village are also on the agenda.

“It’s going to be very exciting and we’re going to need lots of volunteers,” says Morrison.

Founders Week will have year-long reach

Community Care’s shining lights honoured at lunchBy Bill FreemanEMC News - Havelock - They are the shining lights of Community Care Havelock and last week the organization’s 75 volunteers were hon-oured during a special appreciation luncheon.

“You’re the reason we’re here today to cel-ebrate all the things you do in the community,” co-ordinator Tammy Ross said underscoring the organization’s appreciation theme “volunteers light up our lives.”

The lunch was a chance to celebrate “the light you bring to the lives of others,” said Ross.

“It is you that gives that light,” she said. “It’s all the things you do that makes them feel that comfort.”

“We can see the difference you make in your own lives, the lives of your clients and the lives of their families,” added Karen Hartford, Com-munity Care’s volunteer development co-ordi-nator.

Light, unlike darkness, is measureable “and what you do is measureable,” said Hartford.

“We have books of client comments [and] they are always singing your praises because they see the light you shine in the community.

“You light up our community,” Hartford said.The work of the organization’s nearly 1,000

volunteers “warms our spirit, brightens our day

Community Care Havelock paid tribute to its team of volunteers last week during an appreciation luncheon. Joining board president Jim Patterson (fourth from left) and Havelock Community Care co-ordinator Tammy Ross (far right) on stage were (l-r) honourees Lois Galbraith, Les Morris, Carole Collins, Carol Wilks, Joan Crawford, Leslie Turpin, Jean-Marie Bernard and Carol Ellis.

and encourages us to keep going. Your enthusi-asm and the joy you put into everything you do overflows into everything you touch, everything your light reaches.

“Thank-you for everything we see you do and thank-you for everything in the quiet moments when you are helping others.”

Across the county, Community Care volun-teers served almost 5,000 people this past year, said board president Jim Patterson.

Patterson called that achievement, with a full-time staff of less than 35, “incredible.”

All of this is done with a budget of $2 million with the province providing $1.2 million. Fund raising through events like Kilometres for Care help meet the $800,000 balance.

“We take that $1.2 million and turn it into $2 million,” said Patterson.

“It’s wonderful to keep the money in the right place, the community. I am proud to be a mem-ber of the board.”

Receiving two-year pins were: Margaret Brown, Carole Collins, Joan Crawford, Lois Galbraith, Barbara Hogg, Annalene Miles, Les Morris, Brian Radnor, Leslie Turpin and Carol Wilks.

Receiving five-year pins were: Jean-Marie Bernard, Marilyn Davison and Carol Ellis.

Trent Hills Regional News - Thursday, April 18, 2013 3

One of our elevators works off the generator as does our heat,” ex-plained Kirsta Hazlewood, lifestyle consultant/director of recreation.

“It doesn’t bother me a bit,” said resident Bernice Phillips, who was quite comfortable working on a puz-zle with fellow resident Hartley Ga-zell.

Gary and Jane Schuell, who live out of town, came looking for a place to eat and found Dooher’s Bakery open in Campbellford. Debbie Fillier, behind the counter, said the baking was done before the power went out and they wanted to sell their baked goods so remained open.

Not too dark for puzzlesContinued from page 1

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Hastings - If the Hastings Revi-talization Association can’t complete its planned upgrade of the Hastings trail this year they’ll move on to another project.

“If we can’t do it this year we’re not going to do it so we might as well move on to other projects,” vice chair Steve Roddy said during their regular quarterly meeting.

The HRA is anxious to make improvements to the one-kilometre stretch of the Trans Canada Trail that runs along a former rail bed behind Home-wood Avenue west toward the swing bridge across the Trent River.

The upgrades include clearing the brush and re-surfacing work to make it more “user friendly.”

“Right now there’s potholes and ruts,” says Roddy.

The organization has been discussing trail im-provements for at least three years and is frustrated by the slow progress.

Roddy recently met with Trent Hills staff includ-ing CAO Mike Rutter and Hastings ward Council-lor and Deputy-mayor Bob Crate to “discuss a plan to move forward with the trail.

“The municipality is 100 per cent behind the project; they want to do as much work as they can,” Roddy said.

“We’re not thinking of throwing money out that could be better spent somewhere else.”

There will be another site visit in the next cou-ple of weeks.

“From there move forward and hopefully get this project going not too long into the summer,” Roddy said.

“We would like to have this managed and done by the end of the year. One of the options we have, because we may not spend all of the money and the municipality is going to do so much in-kind, is we may look at designing a sitting area at the end where the bridge is,”

The HRA would like to have an engineered de-sign plan done for the observation-sitting area “so if there is any funding available later on it’s ready to go because we have the plan.

“Hopefully there [will be] progress in the next couple of months,” said Roddy.

“It’s kind of a nightmare when you look at this trail in Hastings because we’re so divided between jurisdictions,” he explained.

The 33-kilometre Lang-Hastings Trail section of the Trans Canada Trail in Peterborough County was recently upgraded with $500,000 worth of work done.

“The Trans Canada Trail looks at Hastings as a natural hub so they do want to put a lot of money in

here but the money that went into the other side of the bridge was earmarked for Peterborough Coun-ty,” said Roddy.

Trent Hills owns the Hastings trail so they can do all the upgrade work they want to do but it still requires working with the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance and a variety of user groups, Roddy said.

“It’s not as easy as going out and saying ‘let’s do

this.’ There are a lot of groups involved.”“They did a beautiful job in Peterborough

County. It would be nice if we could tackle a small one-kilometre stretch of it.”

“I would like to see the trail completed this year or let’s move on to something else,” HRA chair Camille Edwards added. “It’s a wonderful concept but you can only do so much.”

Bernice Phillips, left, and Hartley Gazell, centre, residents at Island Park Retirement Community were unfazed by the ice storm as the home had a backup generator to keep emergency lights on, an elevator operational and heat on.

Tick tock! Clock ticks down on HRA trail project

War amputees were young too“To know that the small but generous commu-

nity of Norwood and surrounding area supports the work of The War Amps [which] has given me so much but who also helps children across Canada is so special,” Lunn told the Trent Hills Regional News.

Funds raised through the parade will be used to purchase artificial limbs and provide support programs for children.

Lunn thanked all the people who donated to the cause as well as those who watched along the pa-rade route; she was especially grateful to the stu-dents and community members who participated in the parade.

The event, she said, celebrates the “commu-nity’s link to The War Amps and agriculture.”

The War Amps is celebrating its ninety-fifth anniversary this year a milestone Lunn says is

worthy of celebration and reflection.“I’m able to reflect on the beginning of The

War Amps when First World War amputee vet-erans returned and started the organization,” she says. “These veterans were able to pass their posi-tive philosophy of ‘amputees helping amputees’ to Second World War amputee veterans when they returned.

“These service men continued to give back to Canadians by starting The War Amps Key Tag Service in 1945 to employ Canadian amputees and others with a disability which continues to-day.”

“The amputee veterans were not much older when they returned to Canada than the students who organized the tractor parade,” Lunn noted.

“It’s great to see that determination, dedication and want to give back is still found in young Ca-nadians.”

Paramedics the new piece to the puzzle in bypass program

Area paramedics are now diagnosing heart at-tacks on scene or en route and, under strict parameters, transporting patients directly to the Peterborough Regional Health Centre from across the North East Cluster (Peterborough, Hastings, Northumberland, and Haliburton). Paramedics Karen Juskiw and Robert Lloyd are based in Campbellford. Photo: Sue Dickens

By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbellford - Para-medics Karen Juskiw and Robert Lloyd know what the newly launched STEMI bypass program can do for patients living here.

“The program is definitely the right thing to do as far as patient outcomes in the end,” said Lloyd.

First reported by Trent Hills Re-gional News it means that heart attack patients from here will no longer be transported to Campbellford Memo-rial Hospital (CMH) by Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Northum-berland County. They will go directly to the Peterborough Regional Health Centre’s (PRHC) cath lab.

The paramedics, who are based in Campbellford, met with Trent Hills Regional News to talk about the role they play in saving lives of heart at-tack patients, within the context of the newly launched program.

Juskiw, 42, is full-time and has been a paramedic for a decade.

EMC Lifestyles - Reminiscent of sewing bees of days gone by, Pat Annaert, foreground, and Araxie Robertson of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Auxiliary are putting their sewing skills to work making curtains to be used in the Intensive Care Unit. When first cre-ated in 1943 the auxiliary bought and sewed linens and hospital gowns, holding regular sewing bees to keep the hospital supplied. By 1948 fund raising was added to the auxil-iary’s responsibilities and is now a major part of what they do. The organization is currently fund raising $58,650 for the purchase a porta-ble vital signs monitor and upgrade to central monitoring stations. Photo: Sue Dickens

By Sue DickensEMC News - Trent Hills - Heating up the rheto-ric on the need for smoke alarms the Trent Hills Fire Department will be holding open house in-formation sessions at all three of its stations.

“The purpose is to help spread the word and to educate landlords and tenants on the im-portance and requirements of having working smoke alarms,” said Chief Tim Blake.

Referencing the recent fire in East Gwillim-bury, in which four family members perished, he noted, “The findings have indicated early de-tection as contributing to this tragic event.”

The Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) has confirmed that there was a delay in the detection of the fatal fire, he explained.

Preliminary findings revealed that the fire originated on the home’s main floor, in the laun-dry room. As the fire developed, smoke and flames were drawn up a large central staircase to the second storey—trapping the family in the master bedroom. When a family member made the 911 call, the fire conditions on the home’s main floor had already blocked all avenues of escape.

According to the OFM, the delay in the de-tection of this fire can be attributed to two fac-tors. First, the lack of a smoke alarm on the main floor, and two, while there was a security/fire alarm system in the home that provided cov-

Smoke alarms focus of open house information sessions

Lloyd, 24, is part-time and has been a paramedic for two and a-half years. Both love their chosen career and are highly trained level 1 paramedics.

Both agree the STEMI bypass program can change the outcome in a positive way for patients experienc-ing a heart attack.

“With programs like this … it can only benefit the patients,” said Juskiw.

Juskiw and Lloyd have watched what happens to patients who undergo pro-cedures in the cath lab.

“It is quite amazing to witness because you can see on the video screen the occlusion of the artery and them correcting the prob-lem and then the blood flow,” said Juskiw.

“It was awesome to watch,” agreed Lloyd.

Trevor Mackey, superin-tendent, EMS Northumber-land County spoke of the benefit of Code STEMI.

“It’s a good idea and will save lives,” he said, noting the importance of inform-ing the public about the program.

“The family should know when they [EMS] go left instead of right … this patient will be going to Pe-terborough.”

Amanda Roffey, com-munications advisor with PRHC explained.

“Patients experienc-ing a heart attack will by-pass their local hospital’s emergency department and come directly to the Code STEMI program at Peter-borough Regional Health Centre, providing patients with faster access to life-

saving interventional car-diac care.”

Dr. Warren Ball is the in-terventional cardiologist at PRHC.

“Patients used to go to Toronto or Kingston, now we can provide that urgent service,” he told Trent Hills Regional News.

“They now come here, get their diagnostic angio-gram and get a stent put in at the same time where ap-propriate.”

Dr. Ball described the STEMI bypass program as “fantastic.”

“Nobody wants to think they are getting less than the standard of care big cit-ies are getting in Canada … Now we can provide that urgent service,” he added.

The Peterborough hos-pital has been providing cardiac angiography for years but in January 2012 it implemented elective an-gioplasty/PCI (percutane-ous coronary intervention) services.

“The new piece of the puzzle is EMS, instead of stopping in at emergency, [at the local hospital] they proceed directly to the cath lab,” said Jeff Dunlop, co-ordinator, PRHC’s cardiac catheterization lab.

“The whole goal is to get quicker. We have a great partnership with EMS, the teamwork is terrific,” he added.

In July 2012, emergency angioplasty service known as Code STEMI began.

In January 2013 the STEMI bypass program for Trent Hills was launched.

The cath lab has com-pleted 584 PCI procedures

erage for the second storey and basement, this system’s wiring ran through the main floor laun-dry area where the fire originated.

The OFM team established that this wiring was compromised early in the fire and this would have rendered the entire system inoperable.

“Our goal is to ensure everyone is safe from fire,” said Chief Blake, who talked about the steps people can take.

“Test smoke alarms to make sure they are working, install battery-operated smoke alarms, or electrically connected alarms with a battery backup, and develop and practise a home fire escape plan to ensure everyone knows what to do if a fire occurs,” he told Trent Hills Regional News.

“Spending $5 to $10 for a smoke alarm is a small price to pay for possibly saving your life in a fire,” he added.

Chief Blake also noted that it’s the law in On-tario to have working smoke alarms on every storey of a home and outside all sleeping areas.

“Failure to comply with the law can result in a ticket of $235 or a fine of up to $50,000 for indi-viduals or $100,000 for corporations,” he said.

Chief Blake is urging residents to stop in to the open house information sessions to be held at the Campbellford/Seymour, Warkworth and Hastings fire halls on May 5, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Spring is finally here!

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Havelock - Township council has come out strongly in de-fence of the community’s schools say-ing they represent more than bricks and mortar.

“Norwood District High plays an integral role in this community but also in the greater board district,” Mayor Ron Gerow said during a dis-cussion with public board superinten-dent Greg Ingram.

Ingram, NDHS principal Mary Lou Steinman and trustee Shirley Patter-son spent time with council last week talking about the high school and its programs including its four high skills majors.

“The word district is there for a rea-son,” said Gerow of Norwood District High School, taking aim at the Min-

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Havelock - The involvement of local groups and individuals in planning Have-lock-Belmont-Methuen’s contri-bution to the first-ever County Day at Lang Pioneer Village and Museum is crucial, council says.

“We don’t want to leave any-body out,” Mayor Ron Gerow said during a special council dis-cussion on the July 28 “celebra-tion” of the county’s eight town-ships which was conceived by Deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe.

Sharpe and Councillor Jim Martin, representing the township on the County Day committee, will be contacting local residents with an interest in the history of HBM to be part of a small sub-committee to help plan the town-ship’s County Day program at Lang’s South Lake School. The former one-room schoolhouse in Belmont-Methuen was the first building transported to the pio-neer village.

Sharpe and Martin will also talk up the event during Celebrate Havelock looking for volunteers interested in performing on the main stage Lang will provide for entertainment from all eight mu-

nicipalities.Staff at Lang will run a variety

of children’s activities through-out the day.

The Belmont Women’s Insti-tute has said they’re interested in participating, Sharpe noted

“There is some real enthusi-asm” across the county for the event, he added.

“There’s going to have to be a lot of thought into this in a short time,” Martin said. “The school building is going to be the back-drop but [the HBM program] doesn’t have to focus entirely on the school.”

“We want to showcase the township in more than one or two ways,” Gerow said.

Gerow envisages an “educa-tion piece” surveying the history of the nine one-room schools that dotted the municipality as well as other heritage components like mining history; he even suggest-ed contacting the cottage com-munity to see if someone would be interested in talking about the history of cottaging in the area.

“The recreational side of this,” he said.

There are a “number of facets from the township and village”

on education that a group could put together for the event,” Ge-row said.

“I would really like to focus on who we are and where we are.”

There is an opportunity to tell the story about the “beginnings” of the two townships and the vil-lage, Gerow said.

Belmont-Methuen, he notes, was one of the first incorporated townships in the county and “one of the oldest communities in this part of Ontario.

“We have a fair amount of data … We need to focus on one or two main themes.”

“I’m pretty excited about the school part of it,” Sharpe said. “I didn’t realize there were so many one-room schoolhouses. They need to be part of what we’re talking about. There needs to be a focus on our school house.

“There is a history piece there that we can develop,” said Sharpe.

It could be a catalyst to docu-ment a part of the township’s his-tory “before it gets lost.”

The one-room schools closed in 1967 so there are many people in the township who attended those schools, Sharpe added.

EMC News - Trees were toppled along Highway 7 east of Norwood and all over Asphodel-Norwood, Havelock-Belmont-Methuen and Trent Hills fol-lowing last Friday’s freezing rain storm. Trees were overburdened with ice and branches snapped and fell across power lines leaving thousands of area residents without power until late Sunday evening and into this week.

Hydro One was still reporting some

power outages Monday morning north of Highway 7 between the 11th Line of Asphodel and the 12th Line of Dummer. Repair crews were also still working at locations along County Road 42 south of Norwood as well as areas north of Havelock along the County Road 46 corridor north to the Oak Lake area and along County Road 48 northward to-ward Cordova Lake and Vansickle.

“That needs to be a key piece.”Each township will have 100 tickets

to distribute to residents. Council will decide at a later date how that will be done.

“My idea was to get those tickets in the hands of people who haven’t been to Lang,” said Sharpe.

istry of Education’s per pupil funding formula which he feels works against rural schools.

“We are a partner with our school here,” he said.

“I can’t for the life of me under-stand why the province continues to look at funding the way it does with declining enrollments, especially in rural Ontario. There’s got to be a bet-ter way.”

Gerow says he “understood” the challenges posed by NDHS enroll-ment numbers (projected at 327 for next year) for the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board; he also acknowledges the stress low enroll-ment numbers place on course and program options for students under current funding rules.

“[Still] there has to be a different

concept and a different way of dealing with these things,” he said.

“We can’t be shortsighted [or use] tunnel vision.

“Are local school boards and mu-nicipalities going to have to forge a new idea with the ministry and look at these smaller parts of the puzzle?” he asked. “I think it’s very important that we look at these things because NDHS has so much potential.”

When a rural school is closed it’s lost, Gerow said.

“This community is very much behind keeping and maintaining our schools. Yes, we’re going to have to think of different ideas and ways to do things. There needs to be some real lead-ership and out-of-the-box thinking.”

Deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe agreed.

Sharpe is a member of the Commu-nity Friends of NDHS started by As-phodel-Norwood Mayor Doug Pearcy and believes the committee has a vital role to play on issues related to the school’s future; he also believes the KPR needs to give the committee an “outlet” to bring its ideas forward.

“Somehow we need to involve that small committee in Norwood. They’ve got some really great out-of-the-box ideas, whether they would work or not who knows,” he said.

“I think we can help as a commu-nity, Havelock-Belmont-Methuen and Asphodel-Norwood; we can support the high school and that’s the direction the community wants to go.”

Sharpe says the committee is “try-ing to be proactive.

“We’re trying to do some of the

right things and come up with some good ideas. What is lacking is an out-let for their ideas to be moved forward [that] needs to be worked on. We re-ally need to take that step forward to find that outlet.”

Sharpe added that the Accommoda-tion Review Committee (ARC) pro-cess which reviews schools seems to be inherently negative.

“I haven’t seen too much positive there.”

Ingram says he “believes in the voice of the community” and cau-tioned them about selling the ARC process short.

He also said councillors should def-initely petition the ministry on educa-tion issues.

“That’s your responsibility,” the former Bobcaygeon councillor said.

By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbellford - Google e-bikes and 164,000,000 sites are listed.

It’s the growing popularity of e-bikes that is gaining attention here and everywhere as people gear up for another summer and a look at alternative methods of transportation.

One of those e-bike enthusiasts is Lynn Wilson of Campbellford. She purchased her e-bike last fall, riding it for about two months, before winter set in.

“I got it because I can’t afford a car; it’s a great way to get around,” she told Trent Hills Regional News.

But she likes it for many other reasons.“It’s pollution free, environmentally friend-

ly, it’s light and it’s quiet,” she added.Wilson agreed to bring it outside to be pho-

tographed.Circumstances last fall made her purchase

possible.“I had been looking at them because I had

seen them around for a couple of years and I was thinking about purchasing one,” she said.

“I thought it would be so perfect for me just to get groceries and get around town,” she

Campbellford’s jazz ensembles hitting all the right notesadjudicator nominated the senior group to go on to the provincials,” said music director Dave Noble.

The CDHS Senior Jazz Ensemble has been invited to participate in the provin-cial finals of the Kiwanis twice before, winning first place in 2011 and 2010.

And last year with the youngest group in years, the high school’s music program’s bands came home with gold from Musicfest Canada.

The school’s Junior Jazz Ensemble performed at the nationals in 2012 and earned a silver award.

This year is a very exciting time for the young musicians.

In one of the biggest events of the year, the CDHS Senior Jazz Ensemble has been selected to participate in the TD Canada Trust Prince Edward County Jazz Education Program in Picton.

The students in the CDHS Senior Jazz Ensemble each pay $125 which gives them accommodation and meals at Isaiah Tubbs Resort.

The festival features three days of workshops and concerts with some of Canada’s top professional jazz musi-cians. Four schools were selected from across Ontario.

“This is arguably the most incredible music education experience our students have enjoyed. We participated twice be-fore,” Noble told Trent Hills Regional News.

“The workshops are fantastic, the pros are inspiring, and the final concert at the Regent Theatre with the kids per-forming with the pros is a tremendous experience.”

For Meaghan Steinman, Grade 9, this will be her first chance to attend.

“I am really looking forward to it. “Competing at the Kiwanis festival

for the first time last week she noted, “It was a good starter for us. I am looking

forward to going to the nationals.”Steinman plays trumpet.Grade 12 student Caroline Curle has been tak-

ing music classes since she started high school.She plays the trombone but said she took piano

lessons when younger and also played the baritone horn and French horn. She knows what it’s like to win gold at the nationals.

“I think the music program here gives you a lot more than just music. It’s gives us more maturity and confidence in our daily life,” she said.

“We’re like family here because we practise so often together.”

She is looking forward to the Prince Edward County Jazz Festival.

“It’s a higher level actually in terms of the work.

The bands that are there are the top ones.”Grade 12 student Evan O’Connor will be attend-

ing the festival too. He plays the baritone sax.“It’s a lot different than any of the other saxes;

it’s a bit big and it’s very deep. It’s kind of like the other bass for the band, keeps the room going.”

Grade 12 student Will Wowk, who plays bass, has been to the jazz workshops in the past.

“It was a great immersive experience and it re-ally surrounded you with great players who were alike and you really built off of each other’s abil-ity.”

added.Then one day she met a good friend, who

has a four-wheeler and a friend of his pulled up with a two-wheeler.

“He had two for sale,” she said.And the deal was done.Wilson said she hasn’t regretted her deci-

sion.She knows it is not legal to ride the e-bike

on the sidewalks.“I treat mine just like a bicycle,” she said.Trent Hills has recognized that e-bikes are

becoming more popular too and just passed a bylaw regulating the use of e-bikes on munici-pally owned trails, parks and sidewalks, mak-ing it illegal to ride them there.

This was at the recommendation of the Trent Hills Police Services Board (PSB), chaired by Greg Farrant.

“It’s a proactive step given the prolifera-tion of these types of vehicles on the roads and there seems to be more of them every day,” Farrant told Trent Hills Regional News.

The PSB felt it should take a proactive stance for putting in place the parameters for using these types of vehicles which are driven

on the road without a licence and no param-eters for where they can and can’t be used,” he explained.

Drivers of e-bikes do not need a licence or insurance but all operators and passengers must be at least 16 years of age and must wear an approved bicycle or motorcycle helmet. E-bikes must also be equipped with pedals.

And they are allowed only on certain road-ways under the Highway Traffic Act.

“It’s a public safety issue,” said Farrant.But he was quick to add, that seeking pa-

rameters in Trent Hills to govern the behav-iour of people using e-bikes is not meant to discourage their use.

“It’s simply a proactive step by the board and council to put in place parameters for the public and for the municipality,” he con-cluded.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

By Terry Bush

EMC Editorial - “Work expands to fill the time available for its completion,” wrote Cyril Northcote Parkinson in 1955, and instantly cre-ated a whole new domain in the study of human affairs. “Parkinson’s Law” was one of the most profound insights of the past century, but he didn’t go far enough. There is a media corollary that doesn’t get nearly enough attention.

It is this: “International confrontations ex-pand to fill the media space available.” There is a lot of media space available nowadays, and a striking shortage of truly terrifying interna-tional threats, so the few modest ones that do exist are magnified to fill the scary news quota.

That’s why you hear so much about the North Korean nuclear threat, the Iranian nuclear threat, and the international terrorist threat. Unless you live in South Korea, or Israel, or lower Manhattan, none of these “threats” will ever disturb the even tenor of your life—and even if you do live in one of those places, it is still very unlikely.

The very unlikely did happen in lower Manhattan once, 12 years ago, but it is very, very unlikely to happen there again. Nevertheless, 9/11 is used to justify an ongoing “war on terror” that has provided long-term employment for several million people and justified well over a trillion dollars in “defence” spending over the past decade.

Which brings us to another law, the Shirky Principle: “Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution.” In other words, armed forces, intelligence services and those parts of the foreign policy establishment that have prospered from “fighting ter-ror” will instinctively preserve that threat. They hunt down and kill individual terrorists, of course, but they also keep coming up with new terrorist threats.

Moreover, fighting terrorists does not justify aircraft carriers, ar-moured divisions, and planes like the F-35. Those branches of the armed forces need the threat of wars in which weapons like those might be at least marginally relevant.

Credible threats of high-intensity warfare are scarce these days, so you have to be creative. There is, for example, a remote possibility that

the inexperienced young man who now leads North Korea might be paranoid enough, and the generals who supervise him stupid enough, to attack South Korean forces somewhere. That might lead to a major war in the peninsula.

The probability that this would lead to the use of nuclear weapons in the Korean peninsula is vanishingly small. The likelihood that it could lead to the use of nuclear weapons elsewhere is zero. Yet this confrontation is getting as much coverage in the Western mass media as the Berlin crisis did in 1961—and the Asian media generally follow suit.

The same is true for the alleged Iranian nuclear threat. Iran is prob-ably not planning to build nuclear weapons, and there is no chance that it would launch a nuclear attack on Israel even if it did build a few. Israel has hundreds of the things, and its response would destroy Iran. Yet the Israelis insist that it might happen anyway because Iranians are crazy—and both Western and Arab media swallow this nonsense.

Fifty years ago, during the Berlin crisis, a single misstep could have led to ten thousand nuclear weapons falling on the world’s cities. Bad things can still happen when politicians miscalculate, but the scale of the potential damage is minuscule by comparison. Yet our credulous media give these mini-crises the same coverage that they gave to the apocalyptic crises of the Cold War.

Hence Dyer’s Corollary to Parkinson’s Law: International confron-tations expand to fill the media space available. Little ones will be in-flated to fill the hole left by the disappearance of big ones. The 24-hour news cycle will be fed, and military budgets will stay big. You just have to keep the general public permanently frightened.

That’s easy to do, because people in most countries know very little about the world beyond their immediate neighbours. They’ll believe almost anything the media tell them—and most of the media go along with the official sources because scare stories sell a lot better than headlines about the remarkably peaceful state of the world.

Humbert Wolfe’s judgement almost a century ago still applies ev-erywhere: You cannot hope to bribe or twist (thank God!) the British journalist

But given what the man will do unbribed, there’s no occasion to.

EMC Editorial - Seriously??? Justin Trudeau had barely been crowned Liberal leader when the Tory illuminati found it necessary to unleash at-tack ads, rolling out their first, in what will probably be a two and a half-year series of American-inspired nonsense.

Once again, the Conservative Party has dispelled the myth that Cana-dian politicians are a little bit classier than their American counterparts. Stephen Harper and crew must be really worried about this Justin fel-low to try to sully his image even before he’d taken his seat as Liberal leader. Why else would they even bother with such tripe without an elec-tion anywhere on the horizon. With only 34 seats and third party status, does anyone really think the Trudeau Liberals will sweep the nation next time round? After all, the return to power was a long time coming for the Tories, post Mulroney.

Do we, as Canadians, really need to stoop this low? Is it time for op-position parties to lower themselves and fight fire with fire?

In the Conservatives’ latest offering, Justin Trudeau removes his shirt to the sounds of carnival music as the propaganda rolls. Seriously, does removing one’s shirt to show an undershirt make a politician a target for character assassination? Considering the video was shot at a fund raiser to battle liver cancer, and Trudeau raised $2,000 for the cause, who are the real asses here. The Huffington Post might say the Tories fit the bill considering they used the video without permission.

One would have to wonder if our local Conservative MPs are on board with this negative way of doing business.

I for one, don’t want to be subjected to years of this rubbish every time I turn on the television set. And I don’t care who is behind it, Conser-vatives, Liberals, members of the NDP, it doesn’t matter, playing gutter politics serves no one well.

If the Tories or NDP are worried about Justin Trudeau, then squash him like a bug in the House of Commons. We’ll all see the replay on the news and laugh, same as we would if Stephen Harper or Thomas Mulcair found themselves under the bus. Political junkies don’t want any of that namby-pamby stuff. Politics is a blood sport many of us enjoy. If you act like an idiot, you deserve to be body slammed. But most sports have rules and some of these negative attack ads are definitely out of bounds. What kind of example are they setting for the youth of today who will see them ad nauseam? Are these ads really any different from the cyber-bullying that is front and centre in our society?

Many are just outright lies. Most take quotes out of context and all show the subject in the most unflattering light, the whole point of the exercise. Easy to do if you’re dealing with some of the recent Liberal candidates like Stephane Dion or the wooden Michael Ignatieff, the Grits American candidate for prime minister. But sometimes, negative ads backfire. Think Kim Campbell and the ads making fun of Jean Chretien’s face.

Maybe the Conservatives are worried this Trudeau guy is a different beast altogether. They say he has no experience but then again, neither did Stephen Harper and he’s done all right for himself. Most of the old guard of the Liberal Party is history, either retired at home or retired living the life of Riley as a senator. It’s almost like Trudeau and crew are starting fresh. Maybe that’s what’s got the Conservatives all flustered. Despite being saddled with his father’s last name, Trudeau the Younger certainly isn’t lacking in charisma, something sorely lacking in some of the other party leaders. He won’t win many votes in Alberta. Chances are he won’t do too well in Quebec. But the rest of the country, who knows. Maybe Canadians will think it’s time for a different sort of prime minister when the next election rolls around. Either that or they’ll figure the Liberals have just plain run out of electable candidates and are as committed to recycling names as their provincial counterparts are to renewable energy.

Either Justin Trudeau establishes himself as a serious candidate in the next couple of years or he crashes and burns like the Liberal leaders be-fore him. The Tories better watch it though. If the Canadian public is subjected to years of negativity before they head to the polls, they may just vote for anyone but the Tories.

Please … give us a break

Dear Editor,When you think of the consequences, you have to seriously pon-

der whether the provincial government’s Green Energy Act was really an intended conspiracy that had more to do with the redistribution of wealth than an environmental initiative.

The question surfaces because of the upsurge in the number of mu-nicipalities currently coming out in protest of the attempted installations of wind turbines. A citizens group is currently fighting to prevent a pair of ten-megawatt turbines from being located near Grafton and Cen-treton. Meanwhile, Ontario’s Conservative caucus is trying to get the Ensuring Affordable Energy Act approved because of major concerns being voiced by taxpayers.

Although I doubt the Liberals and NDP will go along with anti-green measures, the energy initiative makes a lot of sense. It would give municipalities the final say on whether wind turbines will be permitted in their specific areas. In addition, turbines would have to be considered affordable, meaning the cost per kilowatt hour must compare with other sources of generation.

The Act also eliminates the costly feed-in tariff (FIT) and munici-palities would have the ability to decide whether or not they want to promote wind energy. The Niagara Escarpment and the Oak Ridges Moraine would be protected from turbines and municipalities would regain their planning powers so they can decide on environmental mat-ters instead of the province.

Green energy has been a complete misconception from the outset. You have to wonder whether it was spurred on by government duplic-ity. The Liberals knew they didn’t have the resources to bring it to real-ity so they simply forced the taxpayers to pay double and triple for elec-trical costs to fund what has been an economic catastrophe. Of course,

the greens and environmentalists turn a blind eye to the scam despite the fact that the government was all about grabbing billions to offer the needed green subsidies.

Have our brilliant government officials considered the consequences of these 500-foot turbines all over the countryside. Not really. For in-stance, in Denmark, the foundations of some 1,000 Danish offshore wind turbines are crumbling. Denmark now faces lawsuits over the li-ability and the yet unknown bills for repairs. Like Ontario, the Danes already have the most expensive electricity costs in Europe solely be-cause of the huge number of wind farms that clutter the countryside and the enormous green subsidies they attract. You, as an electrical user, are paying for those subsidies.

If you think that I’m just one little voice crying in the wilderness, consider that the Rural Ontario Municipalities Association (ROMA) and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture have also condemned the installation of turbines. A total of 79 municipalities have called for a moratorium on wind turbines. The Ontario Auditor General has also pointed out that turbines are not replacing coal-fired plants nor cutting greenhouse gas emissions. It means consumers pay twice for wind en-ergy while adding skyrocketing electricity costs that are a major threat to jobs.

We think former Premier Dalton McGuinty and other members of his caucus should be forced to appear before an independent investiga-tive inquiry board to answer why green energy was introduced at a time when taxpayers could least afford it. Seems to me it had more to do with left wing environmental bias than common sense.

By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbellford - The essence of what makes

Hands On Nature exhibit all about biodiversityEMC News - Peterborough - Biodiversity in all its complexity and glorious wonder is in the spotlight during the Hands On Nature exhibition at the Peterborough Museum and Archives. The exhibition, which is produced and on loan from the Royal Ontario Museum, runs until June 16 focusing on the different subject areas of biodiversity, everything from the “broad perspective of habitats, to the re-lationship between species within food webs and the gene pools of particular species.”

“Preserving the diversity of life on earth is not only beneficial but essential to human-ity,” the ROM says in notes on the travelling

exhibition.“Habitat destruction is the most serious

threat to biodiversity, but there are others as well,” say exhibit curators. “Particular prob-lems in this era of globalization are the trade in endangered species and the introduction of non-native species, which can have devastat-ing consequences.

“Fortunately there are people and orga-nizations that strive to preserve or restore native habitats and species, and Hands On Nature encourages participation in these ef-forts.”

“Conserving existing habitat is critical for

the native plants, insects, birds, mammals and other wildlife that have evolved together and depend upon each other for survival,” the Peterborough Museum adds. “Habitat resto-ration is now integral to the recovery of many of our native species.”

The Peterborough Museum and Archives is located in Ashburnham Memorial Park on Museum Drive at 300 Hunter Street East. The museum is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from noon until 5 p.m.

Admission is by donation with free park-ing and barrier-free access.

Friends of Ferris “photos on tour” brings the park to the public

Photos On Tour, a project of Friends of Ferris bring the park to the public as the display includes images of special features of Ferris Provincial Park: from left, Friends of Ferris Vice President Carol Robertson and President Barb Hogan encourage everyone to come to see the photographs now on display at Millcreek Manor in Warkworth. Photo: Sue Dickens

Ferris Provincial Park so special has been captured in images that are now on display for all to view right in their own backyard.

Six photographs, framed with barn-board to highlight the natural scenes that showcase specific features of the park, are hung for all to enjoy at Millcreek Manor 140 Church Street, in Warkworth.

They were in the lobby of the Camp-bellford Community Resource Centre (CCRC) during the month of March.

Those are just some of the locations Friends of Ferris has been able to use, thanks to the generosity of folks in Trent Hills.

“It’s amazing how many of the peo-ple in Campbellford have never been through the park and it’s right here in their neighbourhood,” said Barb Hogan, president of Friends of Ferris.

“So this display is like a little reminder that the park is so close and so special,” added Carol Robertson, vice president of Friends of Ferris. She also organizes and

conducts walking tours of the park.The third season for the walks begins

in May with tours every Thursday at 9 a.m.

“We call this display ‘photos on tour,’” commented Robertson, as she points to one of the photographs which she has in the display.

“It’s called ‘photos on tour’ because we move the display to different places in town but also it’s a chance to take the park to the people,” she explained.

From the waterside trail to the sheep-wash and dry stonewall fence, the park has plenty of historic sites to see and the photographs capture all of these.

Robertson’s photo of the gate sign that welcomes visitors to the southeast entrance of the park off County Road 8 is simple yet effective.

The 500-acre park offers hiking, camping, picnicking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and the Trans Can-ada Trail.

The Friends of Ferris looks after the

ski trails and much more.The photo display is an attempt to spark renewed interest in

the park by those living nearby.A photo looking up at the 100-metre Ranney Gorge Sus-

pension Bridge captured by Hogan while kayaking on the Ranney River, offers an unusual view of this popular tourist attraction.

And for the first time since the photos on tour began three years ago, someone from outside the Friends of Ferris organi-zation has her photos included.

Local artisan Montse Alvarado has four photographs on display.

Alvarado is delighted her photographs are part of this year’s show.

“We live at such a fast pace in life we have to stop and smell the roses … You will see a totally different world when you stop. So capturing that world in a photograph makes sense for me,” she told Trent Hills Regional News.

“I am super proud to be in the display. I didn’t expect this to happen,” she added.

“What’s amazing is how well they’ve been received so far. This is an awesome display,” said Robertson.

The photo display will be moved to the Warkworth library in May and continue to show up in different venues around Trent Hills until the end of the year.

The group is always looking for new places.For more information about Friends of Ferris and its up-

coming events go to <www.friendsofferris.ca/>.

By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbellford - More surgeries in less time has freed up the operating room at Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) opening the door to area surgeons.

Dr. Lynn Mikula, general surgeon and division chief at Peter-borough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) is among the surgeons who will be able to access the operation room for her patients.

She attended a meet and greet event at CMH last Friday and spoke with Trent Hills Regional News about the project.

EMC News - Volunteer Joy Muldoon was selling pins at Sharpe’s Food Market during the Canadian Cancer Society’s 75th annual daffodil cam-paign. This one was organized by the Society’s Campbellford branch. Jeff Stewart, principal at Campbellford District High School, was at the market the day of the campaign and donated to this worthwhile fund-raising event. This is the third year the daffodil pins have been provided in lieu of flowers. No word yet on how much has been raised. Photo: Sue Dickens

Daffodil campaign in Campbellford

Surgeons from Peterborough and Belleville can now access the operating room at CMH

Dr. Lynn Mikula, general surgeon and division chief at PRHC is one of the surgeons granted surgical privileges for their local patients at CMH. The decision was announced by Brad Hilker, CEO and president of CMH. He is joined by Jan Raine, chief nursing officer, in welcoming Dr. Mikula to a meet and greet held at the hospital recently. Photo: Sue Dickens

“What we would like to build is a pro-gram in which the general surgery group, and there are five of us [at PRHC], come here and patients who don’t necessar-ily have to go down the road can get their consultation here and their operations here when it is appropriate,” she said.

The program targets patients requiring daytime elective surgery.

“I’ve seen it in Toronto where I did my training where hospitals are partnered to-gether in a similar situation where you have a big hospital and then a smaller hospital and you develop a real working relation-ship between the physicians there to allow the patients to stay within their local com-munity. I’ve seen it work very, very well,” Dr. Mikula commented.

“I do believe there is a need for it. It’s for the patient and we are thinking if you build it they will come,” she added.

The whole point is to make it so that patients, particularly elderly frail patients without easy access to a car can get safely here … because it should be available.”

Jan Raine, chief nursing officer with CMH talked about the project.

“We are really excited, staff are excited and more importantly it’s the right thing to do for the patients here in Campbellford,” she said, adding she hopes it will become a permanent program.

To get to this point the hospital worked at improving scheduling practices.

“Earlier this year, we adopted better scheduling practices to improve patient turnaround time. We also introduced best practices related to running a surgical pro-gram from other hospitals,” said Brad Hilk-

er, CEO and president.“As a result, we are completing more surgeries

in less time and saving financial resources along the way,” he added.

“Since we have the staffing complement to run the operating room for five days a week, CMH staff can now offer their support to the work of additional surgi-cal teams.”

The process resulted in the operating room becom-ing available two days each week.

The community’s support in helping to raise the more than $124,000 for the purchase of new surgical scopes (colonoscopes and gastroscopes) has also helped, allowing the hospital to treat more patients within a day with the new technol-

ogy. These improvements mean the hospital’s surgeon Dr. Jerry Sue-Chue-Lam is able to support current sur-gical patient volumes within three days each week.

The hospital board has granted privileges to five general surgeons from the PRHC and another five who currently practise out of Quinte Health Care.

“Having access to the hospital’s surgical unit will enable these physicians to reduce the wait times their patients experience today for a variety of procedures,” said Hilker.

The hospital’s surgical suite is comprised of the op-erating theatres, post-anesthetic recovery unit and an eight-bed surgical day care unit.

Surgeries are performed in many specialties includ-ing general surgery, urology and dental services.

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - Resi-dents and visitors seeking open air burning permits will be able acquire them at library branches in Norwood or Westwood or online if council approves changes to the current bylaw proposed by Aspho-del-Norwood Fire Chief Chuck Pedersen.

The bylaw was last adjusted in 2007 and some of the changes “tidy up” existing definitions but others, like using the library branches to help facilitate permit-granting, are new.

The department issues around 100 permits a year, Chief Pedersen says.

One “big change” is the avail-ability of an automated burn permit phone system that’s interconnected with the fire and rescue service’s dispatcher system at the Peterbor-ough Fire Department.

Anyone planning to have an open-air fire that requires a permit must telephone into the system be-fore they light the fire and after it’s

extinguished.The department currently has an

answering machine at the fire sta-tion and when a person phones a member of the department phones back, the fire chief said.

“Sometimes it’s difficult to have someone there on the weekends. This way, we’ll be able to tie into the Peterborough Fire Department which is our dispatcher system.”

That information can be “passed on to our responders so they know there is an activated burn permit in [a particular] area.”

When firefighters log in they’ll see a map with fire icons indicating the open air burns.

Individuals can apply for per-mits online and the fire department will be able to administer them from the fire station.

Having the library as a partner makes it easier for weekend cottag-ers to acquire open-air permits if they require one, Chief Pedersen says.

“It’s better service for residents and visitors.”

Recreational fires—open-air burns for warmth or cooking food with an area no larger than one meter in diameter—do not require permits but individuals must ad-here to all bylaw regulations or face sanctions.

The bylaw continues to ban on burning materials in metal drums. It also continues the prohibition against burning leaves except on allowable lands with a minimum of five acres and a minimum set-back of 150 metres from adjacent property.

Burning anything other than dry wood or natural wood byproducts is outlawed.

The bylaw extends exemptions to the public works department and the Eastern Ontario Fire Academy.

The new bylaw also imposes re-strictions on fires where construc-tion is occurring. Only recreational fires with clearances of 500 feet from the construction site will be allowed.

The bylaw sets out a complete

list of penalty fees, another “big change” from the past, says Chief Pedersen.

“That will help with some of the neighbour complaints we get which get more into a neighbour dispute than a function of the burn-ing,” he said.

If there’s a complaint they’ll be warned and given information on the rules. If there’s a second viola-tion they’ll be charged.

“All we had there [in the past] were the MTO rates for a vehicle response to fires,” he said. “These set fees will allow us to deal with other things that aren’t just out-of-control fires.

Another change is that anyone with less than five acres of prop-erty is only allowed to have recre-ational fires.

Councillor Mary Hay said she’d like the bylaw to be clearer on “what you can do versus what you can’t do.

“I had to read all the way through this to figure out what I can do.”Hastings Earth Day

needs volunteer help

EMC Entertainment - Three of Canada’s finest writers dazzled a full house at the Cat Sass Coffeehouse in Norwood last week. Michelle Berry, Judy Fong Bates and Natalee Caple read from their most recent work as part of an ongoing series of literary readings at the funky Norwood venue sponsored by the Canada Council for the Arts. Berry, a novelist, short story writer, editor, teacher and frequent Globe and Mail reviewer; Fong Bates, a novelist and memoirist; and Caple, a poet, novelist and editor, delighted the audience with selections from their work. In a nice coincidence, Caple’s latest novel, the zesty In Calamity’s Wake, received a feature review in the Globe and Mail the day of the Norwood reading. Photo: Bill Freeman

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Hastings - The Hastings Revitalization As-sociation (HRA) would like to reverse the trend of smaller numbers of volunteers helping with the village’s Earth Day cleanup on April 25.

“The numbers were down last year,” says HRA chair Ca-mille Edwards. “It has been going down hill. We’ll see what is going to happen this year.”

Even with the dwindling numbers the small group was able to fill one municipal garbage truck with garbage, HRA treasurer Roger Warren noted.

“There’s no shortage of garbage,” Warren said. “We try to spread out and get as much as we can.”

“We do as much as we can with the amount of time we can spare,” he added.

The municipality of Trent Hills provides a truck which is stationed in the post office parking lot; it also provides gar-bage bags; gloves have also been donated in the past.

Students from Hastings Public School do their own Earth Day cleanup that day and Edwards praises their efforts.

“It’s great having the kids from the school,” she said.Garbage collected by the students is placed in the school’s

bin.Along with the more traditional and expected items, volun-

teers have picked up everything from tires to shopping carts.“You name it,” said Edwards.“You get the worst stuff out of the least visible areas,” said

Warren. “We try to go into the back alleys.”Edwards hopes there are more helpers this year.“There is still lots to be done [but those helping out] are

getting less and less.”Anyone who wants to help out can meet in the post office

parking lot at 10 a.m. on April 25. The cleanup runs until noon.

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Havelock - Township council is waiving the dumping fee for brush at the 6th Line transfer station un-til at least May 5 and possibly later in the wake of last week’s major ice storm.

It will give people a chance “to do the cleanup and deliver it to the Sixth Line,” CAO Linda Reed said Monday night.

“The volume is going to be great; down here at Pinegrove Cemetery alone there’s been truckloads and truckloads,” added Mayor Ron Gerow who praised Reed and the township team that dealt with the prolonged power outage.

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Havelock - Township council wants to hear from businesses and the public on the issue of downtown parking.

The parking issue is back on the table after a business complained that the township’s two-hour parking regulation was not being enforced.

“He didn’t think we were doing our job,” said Councillor Jim Martin, who spoke to the unnamed complainant.

“He wanted to know if anything was being done,” Martin said, noting that the parking issue was something the Township Revitalization Improvement Program (TRIP) committee dealt with a number of years ago.

“We struggled to deal with it at that time and now it’s reared its head again.”

The principal complaint from busi-nesses along George Street is that park-ing spots are being used by people who are not shopping downtown.

“I don’t know how we can deal with this as far as having somebody tagging and towing. Do we want to get into that?”

Martin and the rest of council were strongly against “tagging and towing.”

“I don’t want to see tagging and tow-ing and I don’t think anybody else does,” said Councillor Larry Ellis.

“We’ve dealt with this I don’t know how many times in the last number of years,” said Deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe. “I think as a township we’ve been pretty creative in trying to fi nd solutions.”

Sharpe said they even tried to create some parking behind some of the exist-ing buildings but when council wrote to landowners “we never got a response.

“I don’t know how we can regulate public parking when owners of busi-nesses choose to park for long periods of time on the streets,” he said. “I see it as very diffi cult and we don’t have a good way to enforce that (two hour reg-ulation) that’s meaningful and I don’t believe that’s the direction we’d like to go.”

“I think council has made real efforts in the last number of years to try to solve

EMC News - Students at Havelock Belmont Public School sported as much pink as they could during the annual Pink Day against bullying last week. Throughout the week HBPS students also created a Friendship Flower on one of the school’s bulletin boards with each � ower containing a personal message; by connecting the � owers together students were tell-ing each other that they are never alone at HBPS and that there are friends at the school to provide support. Students and sta� also held a week-long food drive for the Havelock Food Bank and collected approximately 600 items.

Pink for a causeHigh praise for storm responserants with power. Tim Hortons was able to keep its drive through open on Sun-day using a generator.

Reed said restaurants were selling the municipality what they could afford to of cartons of water “because they were so busy.

“A lot of people without power were looking for restaurants. They were try-ing to support us as we were supplying the team that was [working in the fi eld]. We have an incredible staff and incred-ible community.”

“It was a team effort for sure,” said Gerow, who also singled out Reed for multi-tasking efforts.

Reed says a recent mock emergency exercise paid off dramatically.

“Our team had just gone through an exercise; there was a lot of that that served us well.”

Reed, as head of the municipality’s emergency control centre, was moni-toring what was happening in the rest of Ontario as well as in Peterborough County.

“Once we have time to do some cleanup we’ll sit down and do a debrief. Time and distance and sleep before we can think of recommendations and come back to you and have that conversa-tion.”

Councillor Jim Martin liked the idea of a debriefi ng.

“I would like to see feedback from some of the departments on things we did well and things we might do better. As a municipality I’d like to see us look at it.”

Council will also send a letter to Hydro One commending work crews for their efforts throughout the township. Hydro One had crews in HBM from as far away as southwestern Ontario working to restore power to thousands of residents, some in the dark well into the beginning of the week.

“We have an incredible team,” Reed said. “We switched people on Friday from one department to another if they needed help and there wasn’t one question,” she said. “They’re a pretty incredible team; they’re quite a pleasure to work with.”

Fire, public works, parks and recreation and municipal of-fi ce staff were on top of the emergency from the start, she said.

“The front offi ce was trying to calm people.”She also lauded the business community and those restau-

this [and] I don’t think direct enforcement of the two-hour parking is going to improve the situation.”

“The last thing you want to do is tag a number of business people for parking,” said Councillor Barry Pomeroy. “Some have nowhere to park and they rent the building. It’s very unfair.”

Pomeroy wished landlords would make parking spots for tenants.

“I don’t blame business people for parking on the street.”“It is an awkward situation,” Mayor Ron Gerow agreed.

“Other than this one complaint I have not heard from other businesses. I don’t know if there’s a real issue out there.”

“We should try to get a meeting with business owners and the public to fi nd out what the issues are if there are any,” he added.

“It would be interesting to see if any of the businesses have any new ideas,” said Martin.

“It is a delicate little situation,” Ellis said.Ellis felt it would be “more effective” if communication to

businesses asking for input came directly from council rather than TRIP.”

“I’d be interested to hear from businesses and residents,” said Gerow.

If there is going to be any change in the parking bylaw the general public has to be involved, Gerow stressed.

Time will be set aside during council’s May 21 meeting for public input on downtown parking.

“We should try to get a meeting with business

owners and the public to � nd out what the issues

are if there are any.”

By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbellford - The dreams and visions of the folks who live and work in Trent Hills were showcased at the municipal volunteer appreciation and civic awards night held recently in Campbellford.

“Our CAO [Mike Rutter] has been quoted as saying our municipality likes to dream big and he’s right, we do … but we also like to achieve things too,” said Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, as he referred to the recreation facilities campaign now under way.

This was the fourth year for the civic awards and 12th year for volunteer awards recognition. It was decided a few years ago to hold the two events the same evening. The Legion hall upstairs was filled with tables of people who were honoured.

“A municipality could just not run on its own with paid staff; we’ve got a fabulous staff in Trent Hills … but as hard as they can try you just can’t pay someone to love a community and we have many staff members that do,” commented Macmillan addressing the crowd of close to 150 guests.

“To help us with that we rely on volunteers and your knowledge and your wisdom to take us along and show us what really is important to you and to the community,” he added.

The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Mayor’s Civic Pride Award.

By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbellford - A personal donation by Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan to the Flourish campaign combined with a surprising medical acknowledgement made for a unique press conference held recently.

“I am blessed to present our first cheque on behalf of San-dy and I toward the purchase of a gastroscope used in the detection of esophageal cancer [among other purposes],” said Macmillan.

In particular he wanted to recognize and thank doctors Glenn Garneys (radiologist) and Jerry Sue-Chue-Lam (sur-geon) of Campbellford Memorial Hospital for the part they played in getting him back from the brink during a bout with esophageal cancer.

What made this cheque donation so different are the cir-cumstances that led up to this donation.

“It’s been such a roller coaster and quite a ride over the last two years,” said Macmillan, who talked about his treatment for esophageal cancer which was initially detected with a CT Scan at CMH two years ago.

An eight-hour operation followed in August to rid him of the life-threatening disease.

“I had come to the conclusion that being sick every time I tried to eat something since I had cancer surgery was just go-ing to be a future way of life and I was prepared to live with that,” he said.

A follow-up checkup led to discovery of a medical anom-aly by Dr. Garneys that may soon be written up in a medical journal.

The mayor explained that during a routine checkup with Dr. Conrad Falkson, a radiation oncologist at Kingston Gen-eral Hospital (KGH) he was told his eating disorder was not

Volunteer with Relay for Life surprise recipient

“I would like to recognize the lifelong dedication of Jim Curle to our community,” said the mayor, having kept the recipient’s name a secret until announced.

Born and raised on a family cen-tury farm in Seymour West, Curle has lived here his all his life, leaving for a short time to study and graduate from Kemptville College. Active in the Northumberland County Dairy com-mittee he has also served as director, executive member and past president of the Campbellford fair board.

“He is known as a reliable, enthusi-astic and hard working volunteer who has been very involved with the fair for many years,” said Mayor Macmillan.

This is something of a banner year for Curle who recently received the Agricultural Service Diploma from the fair board. He has been not only an exhibitor, but helped with the Pedal Tractor Pull, chicken barbeque and much more.

The Mayor’s Civic Pride Award recognizes that Curle took on the re-sponsibility of Chair of Logistics for the Trent Hills Relay for Life since its inception five years ago “and is very dedicated to the cause.”

“He is one of the most down-to-

earth people you will ever meet, he is a great ambassador for Relay for Life, he’s always upbeat with a ready smile and he is capable of opening many doors for the Relay for Life commit-tee through his positive relationships with people and devotes a lot of time and energy to set up the field,” said Macmillan.

Trent Hills Regional News spoke to Curle after the presentation.

“I was very surprised and very hon-oured,” he said humbly.

“They kind of tricked me into being here,” he added with a grin.

“They told me I was getting an award on behalf of the relay so I didn’t know it was for me but really it should be for Relay for Life. The whole com-mittee deserves recognition for what we do and then there’s thanks that needs to be said to the community for all their support, for the sponsorship, all the volunteers, the people that par-ticipate in it, and the way the commu-nity supports it or else it wouldn’t be here,” he said.

Personal donation by mayor highlighted discovery of anomaly

normal and another CT scan was ordered this past January.Dr. Dale Mercer of KGH, “an endoscopist” discovered

that the scan had shown results of there being a connection between one of Macmillan’s lungs and his stomach.

Confirming that a bronchial tube had indeed pierced his stomach, a unique endoscopy procedure was performed by Dr. Lawrence Hookey and Dr. Dale Mercer at KGH.

It was successful and Macmillan said he can now eat nor-

mally.“Less than two hours later I was en-

joying a simple sandwich … that had been previously impossible,” he said.

It was Dr. Garneys of CMH who had noticed the “anomaly” in the CT Scan.

“My role in this was one link in a very long chain,” Dr. Garneys humbly told Trent Hills Regional News.

Because the doctors involved could not find any documentation on this ever occurring before there is now talk of writing it up in a medical journal, par-ticularly since they have a “fix” for the problem.

“What the mayor had was very rare and hadn’t been reported in medical lit-erature,” commented Dr. Garneys.

It was against this backdrop that the

cheque donation was made.“One of the terrific opportunities in

the Flourish campaign is every dollar is so important to it whether it’s big or small; it’s what you can afford to pay,” said Macmillan.

“And one of the things you can do in this campaign is you can make a contri-bution anonymously and I have chosen to do that,” he added, not divulging the amount.

The Flourish campaign committee is hoping to raise $7 million.

Partners in the campaign include the CMH Foundation, the Municipality of Trent Hills and the Campbellford/Sey-mour Community Foundation (CSCF).

EMC Entertainment - Campbellford - On the heels of the very popular “tiff at the Aron,” and a week before Toronto’s “Hot Docs” fi lm festival, the Aron Theatre Co-operative is launching its fi rst documentary fi lm series.

“Docs at the Aron” opens on Thursday, April 18, with the award-winning “Buck.” The fi lm is an inspirational and emotionally charged story about Buck Brannaman, a “real life” horse whisperer who works with troubled horses (and troubled horse owners).

Presented in conjunction with four local business sponsors, “Docs at the Aron” is sure to be a popular event this spring, said Aron The-atre General Manager David Lyon in a press release.

“The fi lm series includes something for ev-eryone: great stories, stunning visuals and per-haps most important of all, the inspiring zest for life of the subjects and fi lmmakers.”

Howard Herscovici, a former board member and a “Docs at the Aron” organizer, said, “It

was quite a challenge to pick six movies from the hundreds of documentaries available. We worked really hard to choose six fi lms that we felt would appeal to everyone.”

A new fi lm will be shown every second Thursday through to June 27.

May 2 brings the multi-award winning “People of a Feather.”

“This beautiful fi lm follows the Inuit of Belcher Island in Hudson Bay and their inti-mate relationship with the eider duck.”

On May 16, join a group of energetic 80-year-olds as they compete in the World Veterans Championships in “Ping Pong: Never Too Old for Gold.” On May 30, travel to the Mardis Gras and the colour divide in Mobile Alabama with “The Order of the Myths.”

“First Position,” showing June 13, docu-ments the story of six young dancers as they prepare for the Youth American Grand Prix, an annual ballet competition.

The series closes on June 27 with the fabu-

lous “Festival Express.” This classic Canadian documentary chroni-

cles the cross-country train journey by some of the world’s best rock bands in 1970 (The Grate-ful Dead, Janice Joplin, The Band and others).

“With the Aron’s world-class digital projec-tor, Dolby Surround Sound, new seating and affordable pricing, you can’t beat the experi-ence,” said Mark White, vice president of the Aron.

All shows start at 7:30 p.m. and series passes go on sale April 9.

Single passes for all six shows are $60, and double passes (for two) are $100.

Single fi lm tickets will be available on the night of the show for $11.

Tickets and brochures (with a full fi lm syn-opsis) are available at the Aron and participat-ing retailers, including Kerr’s Corner Books and The Grindhouse Café in Campbellford, Eclectic Mix in Warkworth, and Bridgewater Coffee and Pizza in Hastings.

By Bill FreemanEMC Lifestyles - Havelock - Township council has agreed to provide $200 to help defray the costs of two youth at the Sacred Water Circle gathering next month.

The three-day gathering, coinciding with the United Na-tions International Year of Water, will be spread between Trent University, Petroglyphs Provincial Park and Hiawatha First Nation.

The conference includes “workshops, panels, ceremonies and celebrations,” says SWC founder Dorothy Taylor who also extended an invitation to councillors and township staff to attend the event.

“The gathering will focus on youth, inspiring youth with hope and encouraging deep engagement with water issues,” Taylor says.

Taylor says the SWC’s youth arm “Youth Voices” was funded by the INSPIRIT Foundation through a partnership between Peterborough Green-Up and the SWC.

“The youth panel will play a central and expanded role this year,” she says. “Last year’s pilot project indicated that local participants wanted to hear more ideas and concerns from our youth.”

Taylor says the SWC’s “mission [is] to restore the sacred relationship of humanity with water.

“Inspired by traditional teachings and indigenous envi-ronmental knowledge, elders and youth will join academic scientists in expanding awareness of local water issues, de-veloping strategies for the protection of all sacred waters and sharing responsibility for remediation and mitigation of dam-aged waters.”

The goal is to “reach out to youth and others across our shared watershed in efforts to protect and honour our waters,” Taylor added.

Councillor Larry Ellis, who is council’s liaison with the local source water protection coalition, suggested they sup-port the request while admitting that the township does “get a number of these requests from different agencies that we haven’t budgeted for and we try to do what we can.”

While acknowledging that the gathering “doesn’t tie in with source water protection,” Ellis said they were neverthe-less in the “era of source water protection” and that the SWC gathering does look at the environment and what people can do to protect it as well as First Nations heritage and its sacred relationship with water.

“It talks about involving youth and trying to bring atten-tion to the younger generation,” he added.

“I would be prepared to support it for those reasons,” Ellis added.

“We do get a number of these things. I do worry about opening the fl oodgate [but] it is to do with water,” Councillor Jim Martin said.

“I’ve never had the opportunity or time to go to [it],” Dep-uty-mayor Andy Sharpe said. “It would be interesting to have someone go and have a look and see what goes on. There is a lot to it.”

Councillor Martin wondered if there was a way to get more information about the SWC gathering for future reference.

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Havelock - The Township of Havelock-Bel-mont-Methuen is doing its part to help divert construction and demolition material from the Bensfort Road landfi ll site.

Township council has agreed to buy a 40-yard regular roll-off bin for its Sixth Line transfer station as well as two animal-proof roll-off disposal containers for the Jacks Lake transfer station and another two for the West Kosh landfi ll.

“I think we are making progress that will benefi t the Bens-fort site,” director of public works Brian McMillan told coun-cil.

Peterborough County’s recently completed and approved

EMC News - Orillia - The OPP is asking Ontarians to share their stories on Facebook about the dangerous driver behaviour or near-misses they have observed from motor-ists driving distracted. By doing so, you can help drivers think about their own driving habits and how they are contributing to dan-gerous behaviour.

Go to <https://www.facebook.com/ontari-oprovincialpolice>.

It’s all part of the OPP “Distracted Driving Campaign” which began this past Monday and is now in full gear continuing until April 22 and they are looking to the public to help make it a historic success.

According to the OPP, offi cers laid close to 16,000 distracted driving charges across the province last year (2012). They continue to see careless drivers texting and talking on their phones and engaging in other forms of distraction every day.

To help kick off the campaign, the OPP asked drivers across Ontario to take a hard line on distracted driving once and for all by making this week the fi rst of a life-long com-

mitment to keep all hand-held devices out of reach and out of use while behind the wheel.

Those who use hand-held phones while driving also put the lives of their passengers at risk and the OPP is asking passengers to take matters into their own hands by telling those who drive them while distracted to put down the phone and leave it alone.

The OPP is issuing an important reminder that, while texting is among the most danger-ous activities to carry out while driving, dis-tracted driving refers to all forms of distracted or inattentive driving, such as talking on the phone, eating and drinking, personal groom-ing and tending to children in the backseat.

During the campaign, offi cers will be tar-geting these and any other forms of distrac-tion they observe as impairing a motorist’s driving ability.

“Drivers need to remember that the real danger to the motoring public lies in the dis-traction, not the device,” said Chief Super-intendent Don Bell, Commander of the OPP Highway Safety Division.

“In 2012, 83 people were killed in motor

vehicle collisions within OPP jurisdiction in which distracted driving was a causal factor and that surpassed our impaired driving fa-talities in 2012,” added Bell.

“While the OPP is fi rmly committed to enforcing distracted driving laws during the campaign and throughout the year, drivers themselves can end these needless deaths by recognizing how they contribute to risks on our roads. Motorists need to realize they may need to change their own driving behaviour to improve road safety for everyone,” said Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, pro-vincial commander, Traffi c Safety and Op-erational Support.

Distracted Driving is one of the “Big 4” high risk driving behaviours which leads to serious or fatal motor vehicle collisions on our provincial roadways.

The OPP Provincial Traffi c Safety Pro-gram incorporates high police visibility, measurable outcomes, professional traffi c stops and public education in their ongoing efforts to save lives on Ontario roads, trails and waterways.

Bin will help township recycle C & D waste

Sacred Water Circle youth get boost

20-year waste management master plan ad-dresses the need to ramp up efforts to recycle construction and demolition material; the plan maps out a way municipalities can help increase overall diversion by 3.7 per cent by being more proactive in addressing the C & D stream.

Currently, C & D debris represents 3.6 per cent (800 tonnes) of the county’s total waste di-version stream; in 2010 the county diverted 39.4 per cent of waste from landfi ll. The waste man-agement master plan proposes a 47 per cent di-version target in the next fi ve years, 66 per cent within ten years and 75 per cent by 2033.

The plan says the diversion of construction and demolition material can be increased by 1.5 per cent within fi ve years and another 2.2 per cent by 2023.

The installation of a dedicated C & D bin at the Sixth Line line site fi ts in with the county’s master plan, says McMillan.

McMillan says the animal-proof bins are “pretty accessible for residents” to use.

“I think they’ll work pretty well for resi-dents,” he said.

They will not be able to install a bin at the West Kosh site until they receive a certifi cate of approval from the Ministry of the Environment that marking its conversion from a landfi ll to a transfer station.

“It will be a benefi t to have these roll-off bins because right now we’re working our equipment to cover [the landfi ll],” said Mc-Millan. “There’s a lot of time and equipment use right now.

“I’d like to have them so as soon as we get approval we can stick them in as soon as pos-sible at West Kosh.”

The certifi cate of approval will allow gar-bage to be stored in a bin for 28 days.

“The contractor will haul it once. There will be effi ciencies,” said McMillan.

At a council meeting in February, Deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe zeroed in on the issue of recycling construction and demolition material countywide.

“One of the things that our numbers really show is the amount of construction and demoli-tion debris that gets trucked from here to Bens-fort,” Sharpe said. “That’s something we need to try and investigate and work on and maybe make some improvements.”

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Hastings - The Hastings Historical Society’s digitization project continues to move forward and has added another book to its reprint list. Along with Wilfrid Lynch’s beloved Birth of a Village, the society’s digitization commit-tee plans to republish Father Timothy Coughlan’s Memories of Hastings which tells the story about the “middle history” of Hastings from the 1920s to the 1940s.

The HHS has been given per-mission by both families to re-print the books and committee member Paul Stevens says they

should have Birth of a Village completed and ready by July 1.

“We’re very excited about these two projects,” Stevens said. “The digitization commit-tee is moving forward and actu-ally doing some stuff.”

The committee has acquired some equipment to help with their work including a digital camera, lighting and a light tent as well as a book edge scanner and character recognition soft-ware.

The specialized scanner allows them to scan books right up to the edge of the binding. This means they can scan fragile documents without fear of damaging them.

“We’re asking people to step forward with their own family history documents and the last thing you want to do is damage anyone’s personal [material],” Stevens said.

The acquisition of the charac-ter recognition software is “very important,” says Stevens.

The software recognizes typed characters and produces a text file.

“It makes it very easy to pro-duce text material,” Stevens said.

Using the software they were able to scan Birth of a Village in just 90 minutes and produce a text file that was “editable.”

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Hastings - Hastings’ famous Canada Day fireworks got a $1,000 early-bird boost last week from the Hastings Waterfront festival.

“We love the fireworks and Canada Day celebrations; it’s great for bringing people to Hastings,” festival chair Erin Farley said after presenting Trent Hills deputy fire chief John Austin of the Hastings Fire Station with the cheque.

“It’s very nice to get this donation. It’s a good way to kick it off,” Austin told the Northwest EMC.

The annual July 1 pyrotechnic dis-play is considered one of the finest in the province and draws huge crowds. Last year an estimated 9,000 people jammed the village.

The fireworks cap a day-long Canada Day party in Hastings that has a sig-nificant economic impact on the village. Austin figures that day-long festivities bring upwards of $70,000 worth of ad-ditional business into town.

“A family of four might spend $400 to $500 for a whole day if they’re here

the whole day which a lot are. We had close to 9,000 last year. You couldn’t move.”

The volunteer fireworks committee is in the planning stages already.

“We’re looking for sponsors and we’re always looking for volunteers the day of,” Austin said, referring to the task of handling donation buckets.

He would like to see more commu-nity volunteers on the committee.

“The committee is getting a little big-ger with citizens but the core are still firefighters. If we could get some differ-ent people on the committee with some new ideas that will help us out.”

They’re promising another jaw-dropping show, one that will continue to draw spectators from beyond the region and from across the border.

“We’re looking at different aquatics and other whiz-bangs. We have had sev-eral companies approach us during the winter. We still have to purchase from two or three; we want to spread it out a bit be-cause we don’t want to lose anybody.”

Fireworks F/X did most of the Hast-

ings aquatics last year, Austin said.The renowned east coast company

has an international reputation and Aus-tin says they pre-set a lot of the Hastings charges last year “so all we had to do was put them in and wire them.”

“We’re going to get a program to-gether where we get more of the Trent Hills Fire Department certified so that we have abundance because it takes a lot.”

It takes ten hours to set up the pyro-technics. This year boats don’t have to leave the Hastings Village Marina until 2 p.m.

“It is a regional event. We’ve have people from St. Catharines phoning and people from Niagara Falls saying the fireworks they see every night don’t compare to [what] we’re doing up here. It’s grown and it’s come a long way from when it was just a couple of guys.”

“It’s worth it, but it’s a lot of work.”Austin adds that they’d like to offer

something “a little different” as raffle draw prizes. A spa weekend would be ideal, he said.

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Hastings - One of the key man-dates of the Hastings Historical Society is to con-nect with students and bring its work into the local public school and that is something on which the organization wants to concentrate.

“It’s in our mandate to reach out to the schools,” says HHS treasurer Paul Stevens

“We’re really trying to focus our programs so we can get into the schools and talk about his-tory,” Stevens said during last week’s regular meeting.

The Society needs to be able to “deal with ex-isting curriculum and see [how] we can fit in,” he says.

Stevens sees “two points of entry” in develop-ing a better relationship with local schools. The first point is the existence of the Hastings Genea-logical Society and an interest in family history.

“There are lots of people with roots that go back so we’re going to use some of that family history and bring it into the schools.”

There is also the work of the Society’s digiti-zation committee and the popularity of old photos as evidenced by the success of the organization’s calendars.

Bringing in photos of “what Hastings looked like in the past” is “another way to engage the school,” said Stevens.

In related news, the Hastings Historical Society would like to find some way to help the defunct Warkworth Percy Historical Society.

The Warkworth Society’s executive is still to-gether and will be so for the next year, says HHS executive Paul Stevens.

“Is there some way we can work with them, work together?” Stevens wondered aloud.

Stevens says it would be fruitful for the HHS executive to sit down with their counterparts in Warkworth and ask “What can we do?”

Stevens says it is particularly important to find out what the Warkworth Society wants to do with its archive.

“They have a fair amount of material,” he said.“Are they interested in amalgamating with us?

Is there some way we could work together? Wark-worth is close enough, a sister community, and we don’t want to see it [historical artefacts and mate-rial] disappear.”

Famous fireworks gets early boost

Digitization projects move forward with book reprint“It’s not perfect but it’s 98 to

99 per cent accurate,” Stevens said. “We still have to go over everything and correct it. It saves time rather than having to type everything out.”

Stevens says they’ve proof-read Lynch’s text and hope to have it republished by July 1.

The committee has also re-ceived a couple of new packages of material and artefacts which will be catalogued and digitized to “make sure they’re safe.”

It will also continue with its ongoing work of preserving ma-terial already accumulated by the

HHS.“It has been busy; we haven’t

had as much time as we would have liked but you can only do so much,” said Stevens. “We are looking for more volunteers; there’s lots of work.”

Committee member Jim Co-veney is also sending out a plea to local residents who have old eight-millimetre film footage of Hastings and district. The HHS would like to preserve those films along with printed material.

“We’re actively seeking out old eight-millimetre film of local scenes,” says Coveney. “There is

lots of it around.”If those films are allowed to

deteriorate in attics or basements then an opportunity is lost to tell more of the Hastings story, he noted.

Footage of “legends” like Big Al Scriver need to be preserved, Coveney says.

“We need to have that story told.”

The HHS already has some significant black and white foot-age and Coveney says they could add new material to what they have and make a “pretty good DVD.”

Historical Society wants to work with schools

EMC Events - The Foxboro Chapel of the Good Shepherd members have another reason to ring the bell in the tower.

It is the opportunity to bring people together through a monthly old-time Gospel Sing. Every third Saturday of each month Pastor Pat Wood and leaders host a night of music that attracts musical enthusiasts from afar. Starting at 6:30 p.m. two hours of singing gives a special ring in people’s hearts.

In addition, refreshments and fellowship are also integral parts of each event.

Musicians share from their heart through music, the joy they have found.

Flourish campaign

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Hastings - George James has indeed lived in interesting times.

The retired television reporter-pro-ducer and print journalist reflected ge-nially about his days in the front line of the news with Hastings Historical Soci-ety members recently.

The engaging raconteur touched on a few notable adventures: Pierre Trudeau’s visit with Fidel Castro in sweaty Oriente province in Cuba where micro-T-shirted Margaret left an impression; covering terror-plagued Northern Ireland and staying in a hotel that was bombed no fewer than 47 times (“How could you not want to stay in a hotel with a record like that?”); the final days of Saigon with soul-searching reporters watching from a rooftop bar as the North Viet-namese shelled the city; meeting his hero Alan Paton, author of Cry The Beloved Country, in apartheid-riven South Africa where he and Peter Kent had gone with the intention of surrepti-tiously filming hot spots; Paton a tow-ering man of letters in his native South Africa had been denounced as an enemy of the state by the white supremacist re-gime; travelling to Vienna to interview Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal, but only after proving he was not an assassin (“I had expected to find an old embittered

man consumed by rage [instead] he ra-diated serenity; he was at peace”); the Yom Kippur War where one of his mili-tary “escorts” was the great stage actor Topol of Fiddler on the Roof fame who drew a crowd when they arrived at the war front, a happy memory from a tough assignment (“It was a long hard slog in a war that Israel came perilously close to losing.”) and helping turn Lloyd Robert-son into an expensively dressed reporter during a visit to London for two CBC assignments.

“I look back on a lifetime in jour-nalism with immense pleasure,” James said.

He recalled standing on an icebreaker in the high Arctic “watching the polar bears and walruses playing on the ice with a grin on my face.”

The captain caught his delight and said he must enjoy his job.

James replied: “I am the only per-son I know who was getting paid good money to do something he’d happily do for free.”

His passion for the trade is obvious.Starting out as a cadet reporter in

Sydney, Australia, James moved through the New Zealand Broadcasting Corpora-tion to the BBC and finally Canada and the CBC, with a brief stop at fledgling Global Television. He would eventually

Canada would be “poorer place” without CBC says veteran reporter

become the executive producer of the CBC’s popular Newsmagazine show.

When he arrived in Canada James had to do a “crash course” in Canadian politics.

“I marvel[ed] at the differences and diversities of this country, especially af-ter the separatists won power in Quebec and changed the political landscape for-ever,” he said.

“Journalism thrives on change, dan-ger, diversity; it’s its life blood; it craves the unexpected,” he said.

Margaret Trudeau’s T-shirt on a siz-zling day in Cuba was one of those un-expected moments.

“I can still see them, Castro a giant of a man, hand-in-hand with the tiny figures of Pierre and Margaret leading them to the boat. We filmed this tableau

until a Castro bodyguard put his hand on the camera.”

James ended his talk with a “ringing endorsement” of the CBC.

“Without it this country would be a poorer place. We should be telling the federal government they should be do-ing more not less to support the CBC. It is uniquely Canadian and it is our only national voice.”

By Sue DickensEMC Sports - Campbellford - Sev-eral badminton players from Norwood District High School have made it to COSSA.

Dominating the courts at the Senior Kawartha championship held at Camp-bellford District High School last week, Norwood took the overall champion-ship at the day-long event, edging out a strong Haliburton team.

The women’s doubles team of Alana Reed and Emma Smith took fi rst place which meant they headed to the Central

Ontario Secondary School Association (COSSA) competition which was host-ed by Haliburton this past Wednesday.

There were eight female doubles teams there.

Only the top two will qualify for Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) which is be-ing hosted by École secondaire de Pain Court (ESPC) in Pain Court and Chatham, May 2 until 4.

Norwood coach Jeff Winslow made a prediction before the Kawartha compe-tition that three of his stronger players,

By Bill FreemanEMC Sports - Norwood - The Norwood James Gang Senior B lacrosse team will be well-represented at this weekend’s Canadian Lacrosse League (CLAX) Creator’s Cup fi nal.

No fewer than ten members of the James Gang will suit up for the Durham Turf Dogs and Toronto Shooting Stars during semi-fi nal action at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena. The winner of that semi-fi nal will take on the winner of the Niagara Lock Monsters-Iroquois Iron Men game.

Aaron Grayson will lead the Shooting Stars into action along with six other Norwood teammates. Grayson, with 43 points during the CLAX season, leads the Shooting Stars

By Bill FreemanEMC Sports - Norwood - The Kawartha Senior badminton champion-ship will stay in Norwood.

The small but mighty team defended their title last week in Campbellford coming away with the overall team points title in a meet that included big-ger “AAA” schools like Crestwood and St. Peter’s.

The Knights snagged four medals in-cluding two gold, a silver and bronze and will be well-represented at this week’s COSSA fi nal. The Knights surprised ev-eryone two years ago when they edged by powerful East Northumberland out of Brighton to take the overall COSSA crown.

Emma Smith and Alana Reed took gold in the ladies doubles in a thrilling and close battle against Haliburton.

Jordan Burtt and Jenna Baptie also topped the podium in the mixed doubles outduelling another Haliburton pair.

Brothers Jared and Dan Widdis claimed silver while teammates Sam Gerow and Travis Bennett fi nished third.

Hannah Angermann became the fi rst NDHS singles player to ever qualify for COSSA with her third-place fi nish.

Also competing at the Kawarthas were Travis Stark and Vanessa Crowley, Kate Oliver and Courtney Wright and Ashley Baird.

Reed and Smith as well as Jenna Baptie, might have a good chance of going on to the all-Ontario badminton championship.

And he was right.In the mixed doubles the Norwood

teams again stood out with Jordan Burtt and Jenna Baptie taking the fi rst-place spot. Teammates Travis Stark and Vanessa Crowley were fi fth.

Haliburton’s teams took second and fourth place with Holy Cross in third spot.

Norwood teams competing in the men’s doubles kept up the pace with the twins Jared and Dan Widdis taking second place while Sam Gerow and Travis Ben-nett placed third.

First spot went to a team from Cobourg East while Haliburton and I.E.Weldon landed fourth and fi fth positions respec-tively.

NDHS’s badminton players netted even more wins at the Kawartha champi-onships with Hanah Angermann placing

third in the women’s singles. Lakefi eld was fi rst, I. E. Weldon in Lindsay and Cobourg West took second and fourth respectively.

No local teams won the men’s singles. First place went to Haliburton.

Players at the Senior Kawartha com-petition are in Grades 11 and 12.

CHDS badminton coach Seijo Saito, who looked after the Senior Kawartha championship, noted there were 15 teams competing from ten high schools.

For Cole Mahoney and Nicky Gray of CDHS, the event was a chance to get on the courts and compete. They agreed to talk about their day.

They played mixed doubles in two games, in a best two out of three series.

“We lost both our games in the fi rst event and won one in the second,” said Gray, with candor.

“We started playing together last year and think it’s a lot of fun,” she added.

The couple’s teamwork on the court

turned into a friendship and now they are now dating.

Gray admits to being nervous when competing on the court with her boy-friend, something he said she shouldn’t worry about.

“I enjoy playing badminton; it’s a nice change of pace,” he said.

Both players agree they would like to have had more time to practise on the courts before heading into the Kawartha competition.

“It was still a successful day. It was good just to get to the Kawarthas,” said Mahoney.

The couple is the sole CDHS team to make it to the Senior Kawartha cham-pionship.

At the Junior Kawartha champion-ship played last Wednesday in Halibur-ton, Alexandria Jehle of CDHS fi nished fourth and will be at COSSA today (April 18) at ENSS Brighton.

More on that in the next edition.

James Gang well-represented at CLAX � nal

in scoring. He will be joined by Mack O’Brien, Josh Wasson-McQuigge, Joel

Wasson-McQuigge, Jackson Gair and goalies Angus Dine-ley and Craig Robertson. Dineley was the top goalie in the CLAX this season.

On the other side of the ball Eric Bissell, Pete Rennie and Clare Donnelly will suit up for the Turf Dogs who fi nished fi fth this season posting a 7-7 record. The Shooting Stars (8-6) fi nished second behind Niagara (11-3).

The Iron Men (4-10) will have their hands full against the Lock Monsters but will be counting on a loud, standing-room-only crowd to give them a boost.

The James Gang start their OLA Senior B season on the road in Sarnia May 4 and Oakville May 10. They open their home schedule May 11 against the Owen Sound North Stars. Face off time is 7 p.m.

By Bill FreemanEMC Sports - Norwood - Norwood District High School has a senior Kawartha badminton title to match last year’s junior crown.

The small but mighty team, third-place finishers in 2012, earned the title last week in Campbellford coming away with the overall team points title in a meet that included bigger “AAA” schools like Crestwood and St. Peter’s. They were in a dogfight to beat Haliburton who are hosting COSSA.

The Knights snagged four medals including two gold, a

silver and bronze and will be well-represented at this week’s COSSA final. The Knights surprised everyone two years ago when they edged by powerful East Northumberland out of Brighton to take the overall COSSA crown.

Emma Smith and Alana Reed took gold in the ladies dou-bles in a thrilling and close battle against Haliburton.

Jordan Burtt and Jenna Baptie also topped the podium in the mixed doubles outduelling another Haliburton pair.

Hannah Angermann became the first NDHS singles player to ever qualify for COSSA with her third-place finish.

Also competing at the Kawarthas were Travis Stark and Vanessa Crowley, Kate Oliver and Courtney Wright and Ash-ley Baird.

“Depth-wise, this is one of the strongest senior teams we’ve ever had here,” coach Jeff Winslow told the EMC. “We have three teams that could challenge for OFSAA, that’s exciting.”

Winslow was thrilled to see the last year’s juniors step up to senior so strongly.

“For them to make it to COSSA is an accomplishment let alone medal at COSSA,” he said.

He praised Angermann for making history at NDHS by

earning a singles spot at COSSA; no NDHS athlete, male or female has ever done that.

“That’s a really tough event to get through. Hannah’s one of those athletes who is naturally strong, fit and competi-tive; she’s improved every single year. She’s the type of player every coach wants to have. It’s nice to see her get to COSSA in her final year.”

Overall, Winslow says the Knights have a young team with players like Reed and Smith, both 2012 COSSA gold medallists, returning.

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - The gains made by Peterborough Paramedics in reducing offload delay times at Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) is a “good news story” for the year, says deputy-chief Chris Barry.

“The crews are getting in there and patients are getting off the stretcher,” deputy-chief Barry told councils in Asphodel-Norwood and Havelock-Belmont-Methuen during visits the past two weeks. He and Chief Bob English have been making the rounds of municipal councils to talk about paramedic ser-vice (formerly called Peterborough EMS) over the past year.

A key area of improvement has been the reduction in the amount of time ambulances and crews have had to wait at the PRHC emergency to offload their patients.

The decrease in 2012 was 20 minutes and 44 seconds, with an average decrease per incident over the year of eight per cent, said Barry.

“Ambulances are sitting in emerg a lot less,” he said. “It is a good news story.”

That’s a dramatic improvement since January, 2010, when on average the total amount of time during the day ambulanc-es were waiting at PRHC was eight hours and 32 minutes. By 2013 that number had been whittled down to one hour and 33 minutes.

Those figures represent all ambulances over a 24 hour pe-riod.

In 2011, they were able to reduce the time per incident by seven minutes and 33 seconds.

There are a number of “contributing factors” that have helped reduce the amount of time ambulances and paramed-ics must spend at the hospital, Barry notes.

Chief among them is the effectiveness of the Peterborough County-City Paramedics-PRHC working group and the es-

Offload delay gains at PRHC a “good news story”

tablishment of a policy that guides the transfer of care within the emergency department; the presence of senior Para-medic supervisory staff at the hospital when facing offloads and the enhance-ment of the 24-hour, seven-day-a-week offload nurse pilot project which re-ceives funding from the provincial gov-ernment.

“These three things work in conjunc-tion,” said deputy-chief Barry. “We continue to work on that. What you will see is a big change in the way things are done.”

“The supervisors are a little more vig-ilant in getting the trucks on the road and the paramedics are a little more vigilant in getting the patients off,” he said.

“As long as the offload nurse funding continues it makes a big difference.”

Winning the overall title this season was the rink of (l-r) Jack Wilson, Sarah Wilson, Austin Mur-ray and Avery Page. All curlers received a free gift certificate from Wrap it Up-N-Go.

Royal Canadian Legions across the country donate to memorialBy Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West - A total of $160,886.46 was pre-sented to Mayor John Williams for the Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial Fund from Legion branches across the country.

“We are renewing our pledge to the 158 men and women who died in Afghanistan,” said MC Ena Newman.

Dominion President of the Royal Canadian Legion Gordon Moore presented the cheque at the Legion on April 12. A presenta-tion had been planned at Bain Park but the ice storm was respon-sible for a quick change in plans.

Gordon Moore said the Legion donations were collected from 1,400 Legion branches across the country as an example of their support. “We had a fantastic response,” he said.

Mayor John Williams said the initiative for the memorial was started two and a half years ago because they felt it was important to have a place to honour the fallen at the start of the Highway of Heroes.

The mayor applauded the Legion for what it does every day for the community and the country.

Hugh O’Neil, who came up with the idea for the memorial, said the site is a beautiful place for families to come. “Soon the bay will be clear, the grass will grow and the fl owers sprout,” he said. “It’s a beautiful monument. It lists all the names of our war heroes. It’s the best thing we’ve ever done.”

There was a separate $1,000 presented by Everett Red MacLean from Legion Branch 110 to Gordon Moore for the Dominion Com-mand.

B2 EMC B Section - Thursday, April 18, 2013

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - The marriage of smart board technology and video-conferencing has helped Norwood District High School provide uni-versity level Grade 12 calculus to seven students who otherwise would not have been able to take the course at NDHS because of low numbers.

The twinning of NDHS with a math class at Campbellford District High School was “very successful,” says NDHS principal Mary Lou Steinmann.

“Technology is really helping us to offer courses to our students,” Steinmann said during a visit to council with local school trustee Shirley Patterson and public board superintendent Greg Ingram.

Steinmann talked about some of the school’s specialist programs and “specialized learning op-portunities” at NDHS which, like many in On-tario, particularly those in rural communities, is grappling with enrollment challenges.

“The staffi ng is just not [big] enough to be able to run a course for seven,” she said.

The solution, a smartboard-enabled seminar room at NDHS with video-cam and a classroom at CDHS. “One teacher but two classes.”

Steinmann said Norwood’s students visited CDHS every day for the fi rst two weeks so they could “feel comfortable with the teacher and the students” and so the teacher could get to know them as well.

The smartboard works in real time so anything written on the boards at NDHS and CDHS were immediately visible to students.

“You still have a teacher in front of you,” said Steinmann. “In the future I think it’s possible to do a course solely by videoconferencing.

“[The students] feel such a strong connection with the teacher even through the technology.”

The two schools are already talking about ad-

ditional video courses next year with NDHS run-ning a course for Campbellford students.

“We’re very pleased,” Steinmann said. “Be-cause we’re small we have to be creative.”

NDHS also offers 36 online courses for stu-dents through the KPR and Provincial School Board Consortium, she added. Students can take courses not offered at the school or those that don’t fi t their timetable.

Steinmann says 20 per cent of NDHS students head to university, 60 per cent to college and 20 per cent to the workplace.

She spoke about the school’s four Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) programs: forestry, hospitality, manufacturing and sports and fi tness.

Eighty-eight students (77 per cent) of NDHS students are enrolled in an SHSM program.

The school also has a partnership with Fleming College that allows them to earn dual credits in either manufacturing or hospitality.

Students travel to Fleming every Monday and “really enjoy going into the college environ-ment.”

For some students, she says, “something that was so foreign to them when they started” is now “doable.”

Co-operative education is another strong focus at NDHS, Steinmann said, thanking the commu-nity for “continuing to support our students [and] giving them a chance to see what the real world is like.

“It often helps them fi nd their niche.”NDHS is celebrated for the “broad variety” of

its extra-curricular activities, non-sporting and sporting; there are 23 clubs and activities, every-thing from the Gay/Straight Alliance and Javafest to the Duke of Edinburgh Challenge and Terry Fox.

“The high school experience is much more than the courses that we take,” said Steinmann.

War diaries will go to War MuseumColonel Sean Friday said he participated in the mission in Afghani-

stan in 2008 and “too many ramp ceremonies” there and here. The base was responsible for helping the families receive their loved ones with a great deal of care. “The whole country is behind the memorial,” he said. “When families come back here to the site I see by the look on their faces a real uplifting.”

Renay Groves presented war diaries to Gordon Moore and Sean Fri-day, saying it is a notebook for soldiers to carry on their missions. Some will end up in the Canadian War Museum. She said two captains from her regiment were killed on the same day. She noted that one person here, Sergeant Greg Huizinga, from Belleville, is a local hero who was in Afghanistan.

Huizinga said he used to ref soccer in Bain Park and is glad the me-morial is somewhere people can see it. “It’s a great spot,” he said.

Moore presented two Diamond Jubilee Medals to Howie Bonter and Gary Newman.

ENTERTAINMENT

By Steve JesselEMC Entertainment - Belleville - The Big Music Fest will be once again taking the stage at Zwicks Park in Bel-leville this summer, as the festival lineup was announced early last week by organizers. Hedley, Counting Crows, The Wallflowers, Bleeker Ridge and Canadian music icon and

Big lineup for Big Music Festoriginal Guess Who singer Burton Cummings and his band will all make an appearance at this year’s edition, which takes place on June 22.

“We’re thrilled, we’re ready to go and we’re looking for-ward to it,” said Big Music Fest site manager David Joyce. “It’s a great way to kick off the summer.”

After last year’s Big Music Fest catered to a slightly younger audience, Joyce said he’s confident the acts this year will have a broader appeal. An estimated 10,000 people are expected at the festival this year, but with Zwicks Park ca-pable of holding up to 15,000, Joyce said that number could be even more with fans coming from as far as Montreal, To-ronto and the U.S.

“It fills the hotels, it fills the parks, it fills all the other ven-ues in town,” Joyce said. “It’s a good draw for Belleville, and trust me, it puts us on the map, in terms of music phe-nomenon.”

Ryan Williams, president of the Bay of Quinte Tourist Council estimated that the event injects over a million dollars into the community each year, and said that there are only two or three other events throughout the year that have that sort of impact in terms of tourism.

“It’s becoming more prevalent that we’re getting these great music festivals ... we are becoming known for that,” Williams said. “Anytime we can get this calibre of festival back to Belleville, it says a lot about the community and the Bay of Quinte region.”

Gates for the festival open at noon on June 22, with entertain-ment beginning at roughly 1:30 p.m. The event is fully licensed with a designated drinking area, and a large number of security staff and police on hand. There will also be a number of vendors offering a range of services. The festival runs until roughly mid-night, however, a ticket allows festival goers to come and go as they please. Tickets are now on sale at Best Western Hotel in Belleville, or online at <www.bigmusicfest.com>. General ad-mission is $64.50, and VIP passes are $84.50. Canadian rockers Hedley will be joined at Big Music Fest by Counting Crows, The Wallflowers, Bleeker

Ridge and Canadian music icon Burton Cummings and his band. Photo: Submitted

Continued from page B4Finley, which was held recently in Co-bourg and then Norwood, to its finale fund raiser, the lineup for 2013 “pres-ents the full gamut of storytelling right from the spoken word to wordless mu-sic,” said Finley.

“We like to take Westben out into the community to expand our audience reach,” noted Bennett.

In June the Festival “celebrates the community even more,” with its annual Campbellford District High School music night featuring its jazz ensem-bles on June 8.

“Book of Broadway on June 9 will showcase Westben’s youth and teen choruses.

“The new chorus features girls from the youth choir and guys whose voices have changed,” Bennett said.

“It means we can sing in four-part harmony, bass, tenor, alto and soprano. The boys are having a great time,” she added, with excitement. The boys and girls range in age from 14 to 18 years.

The show is a musical storybook, in keeping with the season’s theme, featur-ing favourite Broadway moments from The Jungle Book and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat.

Still promoting its “stories that sing” Westben will be presenting Peter & the Wolf on June 16 narrated by the festi-val’s own Teresa Castonguay.

Well-known and highly respected retired music teacher Nancy Elmhirst will guide the newly formed Westben Wind Ensemble in its public debut, another first for the Festival.

“The big thing about that concert is it’s a show for kids of all ages. We haven’t done this for a few years and it sits well with our theme of stories that sing,” said Bennett, who pointed out that June has always been community month for the Festival.

Something new this season will see Westben hosting a pre-miere event Bennett refers to as its “Rule Britannia Weekend,” which begins with “Irish Pub Night” on July 12 featuring The Dardanelles, followed by “Burns to Brigadoon” on July 13 then “England to a Tea: This Sceptred Isle” on July 14 .

“It’s a themed weekend,” said Bennett.Keeping its sense of community centrestage Westben will

present “Words & Notes” on July 16 featuring two local authors, Judy Fong-Bates and Martha Schabas.

“Explore stories of home and home away from home as Judy and Martha read from their work and Brian performs Preludes from Rachmaninoff and from his own collection of evocative piano solos Preludes to Canada,” she explained.

The theatre’s finale fund raiser is called “Viva Italia.”And the performances at Westben don’t really end there.Christmas at Westben this year is being held November 23,

30 and December 1 and it is called Little Match Girl Messiah.“All in all I think it’s a very uplifting and varied season. Re-

ally exciting,” Bennett concluded.For tickets or more information call the Westben office, 87

Bridge Street East, Campbellford, 705-653-5508.For more information go to <www.westben.ca>.

Westben’s season to sing stories

By Judy BackusEMC News - Marmora - The second annual Siberian Husky Sled Dog Show-case took place at the fairgrounds in spite of very unsettled weather follow-ing the recent ice storm. On April 13, husky owners from Ontario, Quebec, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, arrived in town with a total of 51 dogs, all eager to participate, work-ing valiantly through rain and generally miserable conditions.

Put on by the Siberian Husky Club of Canada, the day-long event saw the working sled dogs evaluated in a total of seven classes with a panel of three judges looking at body structure, gait, temperament, conditioning and overall impression.

Prizes in each of the categories in-cluded the traditional ribbons along with dog food and sled dog equipment. Laddy, a two-year-old dog from Doug-las, Ontario, was named this year’s Best in Show.

The showcase, which last year was held in Havelock, was organized for the

second time by husky owner Abby Fal-lis of Havelock. She commented at the end of the day, which concluded with a potluck dinner and a chance to warm up at St. Andrew’s United Church, “As this is our second year, we are indeed hop-ing to make this a long standing annual event. It is a very different style of show putting breed function as the main focus. Often we hear of purebred breeds that have gone to such a focus on show ring wins that the breed purpose and health aren’t priorities. Exhibitors today all share a main goal: to ensure the Siberian husky remains a working dog.”

By Kate EversonEMC News - Trenton - The re-stored Trenton Junction VIA station is another success story. Train enthu-siast Errick Camolese told council Monday night that more passengers are now using the facility.

“This is our eleventh year of service since the restora-tion,” he said. “We had 8,800 passengers use the junction last year, up eleven per cent over the previous year.”

Since the restoration a total of 67,000 passengers have used the station, an average of 160 a week.

“This is a continued success,” he said. “We have To-ronto bound and a round trip to Ottawa. Continued usage would revive more, especially moving from Toronto east to Montreal. There is a real gap in service.”

Mayor John Williams thanked Camolese for his update and continued support of the junction.

Terry Cassidy encouraged staff to get VIA to extend services to an expanded schedule. “We need extra ser-vice,” he said.

Trenton Junction not just another whistle stop

Sled dogs arrive ... but not to race

One of the events held in conjunction with the April 13 Siberian Husky Sled Dog Showcase, was a class for veteran dogs over the age of ten. Shown are the winners, starting with Richard Block of New Hampshire with his dog Newt who placed first; Tammi McNamara and Fargo from Kentbridge in second; followed by Caroline Morin from Quebec, whose dog, Winter Festival, placed third; and Laurel Turansky who travelled from Bracebridge with her dog Keo who was fourth in the division.

Reality Check On Hollywood, love, and marriage

EMC Lifestyles - I love a good chick flick. Sure, I’ll watch Band of Brothers or Die Hard with my husband, but when he cuddles up and sits through Pride and Prejudice, I melt.

Unfortunately finding a decent movie

is often an exercise in futility. Most new releases gross me out. There’s too much horror or blood, and throw in a zombie or two and it’s supposed to be a block-buster.

Nevertheless, dig deep and you’ll find some gems. And increasingly lately I’ve been discovering that gems in the chick flick genre have less to do with falling in love and more to do with keeping a mar-riage strong. Hollywood does marriage better than it does dating.

Take the movie Crazy, Stupid, Love, which I thought I’d detest for the first 45 minutes, because it revolves around a younger, cooler guy (Ryan Gosling) teaching an older, just dumped guy (Steve Carell) how to attract multiple women. It seemed so shallow. But the ending is supremely satisfying (and comes with a twist we never saw com-ing). Both Gosling’s character and Carell’s ex-wife realize that commit-

ment and stability are actually far sexier than living an empty life, a lesson that Carell knew all along.

Or take Hope Springs and Date Night, two movies portraying married couples who have fallen into a rut. The reality of the way the couples relate to each other is just too perfect, and the central mes-sage, that commitment matters, and that having someone to walk through life with matters, is beautiful. In fact, most movies that focus on marriage, from It’s Complicated to Couples Retreat to Shall We Dance say the same thing: those flighty feelings of infatuation eventually fade, and life settles into a routine. Will you then commit and keep working at your marriage, or will you drift and lose one of the greatest potential sources of happiness in your life?

Yet if Hollywood believes the best marriages are those between two people who are committed to work at it, a very

intentional approach, why do they por-tray love as something over which we have no control? A couple is thrown together and they “fall in love.” They complete each other. And these feelings alone should make them want to marry.

Most of my professional life revolves around marriage, as I blog and write books and speak. In the mountains of emails from desperate women I receive every week, one of the most common themes I see is this: My now-husband cheated on me while we were engaged, but we got married anyway. Recently I caught him having an affair. Or: My husband lived with his parents until we moved in together, and now we’re mar-ried. I hold down two jobs, and he bare-ly works part-time. But he refuses to do any housework.

Reading these I find myself so frus-trated, because the warning signs were there. Why would you marry a total

couch potato? Why marry a lying cheat-er? Because you love him, of course! And love will magically transform him. We can’t ignore those feelings, right?

Except that scientists say those feel-ings last, at most, eighteen months. And then you hit that rut and you’re in trouble.

In dating romances, Hollywood gives us this idea that it’s feelings that sustain a marriage, not the character of the two people involved.

Yet if all your friends and family think he’s a lout or are sure she’s flighty, you should likely listen to that, no mat-ter what you’re feeling.

Maybe we need to start applying the same principles to dating as we do to marriage. It’s character that counts, not just feelings. That’s a lesson Jane Aus-ten tried to teach us long ago, and per-haps we could all do with a little more Austen and a little less Zombie.

EMC Lifestyles - My friend, Doug Green, posted a picture on his web site of an ice-encased shrub and he waxed ever so eloquently about the beauty of Mother Nature. My wife posted a pic-ture of our three-stem birch clump also enveloped by ice. It was no longer beau-tiful; it was lying down on the ground. Yesterday I sawed off the ragged stumps. I also took the time to clean up the 40-foot piece of a Siberian elm which had pulled away from its main trunk and landed smack on top of our 30-year-old Bosc pear tree. I sawed up the latter one, too. Doug was right to remark on the beauty of it all but perspective is every-thing, right? There is a line in the Dave Gunning song “We’re All Leaving” that also comments on the “beauty of it all” as a person is pulled under the surface of the ocean by a rip tide.

O&S#2 Alison DaviesI have just finished reading Alison’s

column, “More About Life,” detailing her experiences planting a cedar hedge. I didn’t laugh but I did smile. I don’t think there’s a gardener on the planet who hasn’t done an “oopsy.” The neat thing about plants, including cedars, is that they are very forgiving and will do their utmost to survive our best intentions. When we purchased our current home

over 25 years ago, JoAnne Halloran left us with some wonderful gardens … with one exception. Along the east fence row the bridal veil spirea hedge was infested with a truly ugly weed. If dandelions chowed down on steroids and became uberthugs, they would look the same. I worked at pulling those things out for years with little success. One day, I saw a heritage house with the same problem. A few days later, as I passed the same house, I saw the most marvellous bed of oriental poppies! Oopsy.

O&S#3 Smart plantsLast week, when I wrote about mag-

nolia scale, I mentioned that the buds were about to open. Since I wrote that piece, the temperatures plummeted and the ice storm came and buds have still not opened. Many of our daffodils, tu-lips, hyacinth and spring ephemerals have poked their tips above ground. They did this almost two weeks ago; they haven’t opened up either. A few snow drops and even a couple of crocus have shown a colourful flower but that’s it. You know something, Gentle Reader? Until I see all of those bulbs blooming, I’m not going to even think about winter being gone.

O&S#4 Toucan is returned!A few weeks ago we reported that our

young cat, Toucan, had stepped outside one evening and did not return. We did everything we could to find her, includ-ing disturbing a few neighbours when they saw me prowling their backyards and under their decks. We received several phone calls and each time we checked out the cat, we were disappoint-ed to find a feline with similar character-istics but not “Tewks.”

We were hoping someone had found her wandering and had taken her in. Frankly, we had given up.

We received a phone call from a young lady who believed they had found her. We were dubious because these folks lived on the other side of the river, several miles from us. But … they said they read the vet’s phone number on her tags and, when they called up

Hillcrest Animal Hospital (thanks Hill-crest) they were given our phone num-ber. We checked out the call and, sure enough, it was Tewks. So thanks are extended to the young lady for making the call, thanks to her dad who managed to feed Tewks, and thanks to Providence for getting our cat back to us. Tewks was so relieved to be back she willingly sub-mitted to a tongue-bath from Sox, who was equally happy.

ground has dried up sufficiently and the soil temperatures are cool, to overseed your lawn. If we don’t experience an ex-ceptionally cool and wet spring, the seed should have ample time to germinate before the warmer season weeds show up. Remember that many of the weeds

By Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West - Water fluoridation remains a contentious issue in many municipalities in Canada. The great debate continued at council on Monday night with a report brought for-ward by director of Public Works Chris Angelo.

“Is the whole city fluoridated?” asked Councillor Paul Kyte.

Angelo said only Bayside water is fluoridated. Trenton and Frankford and Batawa are not.

“You can smell it in the water,” Kyte said. “I don’t like it.”

Angelo said Bayside water was fluo-ridated after residents in South Sidney voted to have it added to the Bayside water treatment plant in 1995. It was a question on the ballot.

“If council is looking at removing it you would need public input,” Angelo

said.Ron Hamilton said residents wanted

it at the time the plant was built. “It helps children’s teeth,” he said.

Mayor John Williams said it is a democratic process to include what the people want.

Leslie Roseblade added, “There is a lot of proven information that it is a good thing and would benefit all the community.”

Ron Hamilton said they discussed it at the Health Unit. “They would like to see it stay,” he said.

Don Kuntze noted it is municipal water only that is fluoridated and many people are on wells.

Terry Cassidy said the information in this report is positive but there are other sides that are not highlighted. “Others have the opposite point of view,” he said. “We need to revisit all the plants and have a public meeting, a plebiscite on this issue. We need to keep our minds open.”

Paul Kyte noted that cities like Kitchener and Windsor have decided to remove fluoridation because of other negative effects.

Is fluoride in your drinking water healthy?

EMC Entertainment - Belleville - Belleville’s world-famous Quinte Bal-let School will be front and centre in celebrating International Dance Day on Monday, April 29.

The school will hold an open house with free instruction in simple dance routines staring at 6 p.m.

Ballet school instructor Kareem By-field will teach participants the basic moves of a dance that can be done after outside, weather permitting, as a “flash-mob” event.

Ballet school officials said the move-ments for the mass dance will be “fun and easy.”

The school will serve cake and coffee following the dance while Quinte Ballet School Artistic Director Cathy Taylor will read the “official global message,” a Dance Day tradition since 1982 when the day was founded by the International Theatre Institute as a memorial to Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810) recog-nized as the creator of modern ballet.

A key member of the Quinte area’s cultural community, the Quinte Ballet School has been serving students from the area, across Canada and abroad for

Dance day is comingmore than 40 years. The school invites participants of all ages and interests to share their love of dance as part of this special day.

Ukulele master offers music lesson at Madoc schools

By Richard TurtleEMC News - Madoc - Students at two area schools were treated to an impres-sive display of some serious musician-ship last week when James Hill arrived with his humble ukulele.

Hill, a talented professional musician who has crossed the country perform-ing and teaching, has been dubbed the “Wayne Gretzky of the Ukulele” by CBC Radio host Stuart McLean and his presentation for local students was as engaging as a Stanley Cup final.

After visiting Madoc Public School last Wednesday morning, Hill continued on to Madoc Township Public School for a late morning lesson there followed by an early afternoon concert. And, says Madoc Township music teacher Deb Chatreau, students there have been privileged in recent years as his visit marked his return engagement since the school’s instrumental music program was launched. “He visited MTPS three years ago to kick off our ukulele program and we are thrilled to have him back again,” she says. Now with a school collection of about 50 instruments, available to stu-dents on loan, Chatreau says the program is a very popular one and Hill’s perfor-mances have been a definite highlight for both students and teachers. Blue Skies in the Community, she adds, have been ex-tremely supportive of the program, offer-ing funding for the instruments.

In the classroom, the singer/songwrit-er who has released several CDs of his own compositions led students through the basics of the instrument while show-ing off its versatility and his own love of music. Music teachers, along with school board arts co-ordinator Susan Davies, were also on hand, playing along with the rest of the students and equally engrossed in the experience.

In the classroom or not, music can be infectious.

And Hill is quick to admit his affair with the uke began as an eight-year-old in British Columbia with a mandatory music program. In the ensuing years Hill has gone on to become a world-renowned musician but he still reflects on those early days and returns to the

classroom on a regular basis. Though, he admits, the frequency of his school trips are suffering at the expense of oth-er musical commitments.

“I used to do it more,” he says of class visits, “but I’m a lot busier now. I still try to [offer classroom workshops and school concerts] as often as I can.”

Madoc Public School teacher Jen Curtis says the students are easily in-spired by Hill’s talent as they can see just what the ukulele can do. And Hill says while it’s not always simple, it is possible to play anything on the uke, adding he at times joins forces with a cellist to perform.

Following the instructional section of his workshop, Hill was encouraged by the students to play a video game theme from Mario Brothers but he admits ow-ing to his inability to master the game, he only knows the first verse. And that, he says, was no simple tune to learn.

Following the classroom session, Hill performed a concert for the school in-cluding original selections from his re-cordings.

TRAVEL

Holland’s historic windmills are best viewed at Kinderdijk

I take a cruise on the Nehalennia from Rotterdam to Kinderdijk.

By John M. SmithEMC Lifestyles - Kinderdijk is a tiny village just east of the city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, at the confl uence of the Lek and Noord rivers, and here I found a group of 19 windmills that were mostly built back in the 16th century. Now a designated World Heritage Site, it’s the country’s largest concentration

of historic windmills, and it’s defi nitely worth a visit.

I was staying at the beautiful Inntel Hotels Rotterdam Centre in one of the largest ports in the world—Rotterdam—often referred to as the “Gateway to Eu-rope.” I took a boat cruise from the near-by quay, below the fl ag-lined promenade (the ticket booth is located just east of

Rotterdam’s landmark Erasmus Bridge), to Kinderdijk. I boarded the Nehalennia in Rotterdam, and I then cruised along this city’s picturesque waterfront, before continuing the excursion to Kinderdijk about an hour’s journey away. I then had just over an hour to explore this Heritage Site on my own before returning to the boat and making the return trip to Rot-terdam; the entire excursion takes about three and a-half hours. The round trip costs 14 EUR for an adult, and reserva-tions are recommended. The boat leaves from Rotterdam at 10:45 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. daily (except Mondays) from April to October.

Once I arrived at Kinderdijk, I walked along a footpath on a dike, between two canals, for an up close and personal look at these old structures; there was also a separate cycling path. I discovered that eight of the windmills (built in 1738) were made of stone/brick, eight (built in 1740) were thatched-roofed wooden structures, two were built of stone a bit later (1760), and one (the oldest of them all) had been restored (the origi-nal having been built here in 1521). The windmills were built to drain the excess water from the Alblasserwaard polders (low-lying marshes enclosed by dikes) and since much of the Netherlands was below sea level, this system of drain-age was incredibly important. By 1869, these windmills received assistance from a steam-driven pumping station, which was replaced by a diesel pump-ing station in 1927. In the 1970s, a new diesel pumping station was built (one of the largest water pumping stations in Europe) and this one is still in opera-tion today. It contains three big “cork-screws,” which pump the water out of the polder and into the river. If needed, the old windmills themselves are still operational, too.

I discovered that each windmill had two doors, and this was so that people could always get out without hitting a blade, for the blades always faced the wind and the direction of the wind could certainly change. The powerful mill

sails were used to transmit the force of the wind on to

large paddle-wheels, which scooped up the water, and I was told that as the sails became worn, they needed repairs. When a hole was found in one of these large sails, it would be patched. Howev-er, when there were a lot of holes found, the sail would ultimately be replaced, and the old sail would then be used in the making of children’s clothes.

The collection of 19 historic wind-mills at Kinderdijk is quite a sight, es-pecially when the wind is gusting and they’re in full spin, with those massive sails coming so close to the ground. Most of these well-preserved mills, nestled along a network of canals, are privately owned and inhabited. However, one is kept open for the tourists; the “Bezoek-molen” (Visitor’s Mill) and here I was able to look inside a fully operational windmill, preserved in its original form, and the miller was even available to an-swer questions. There’s a fee to visit this particular windmill, but it’s included with the cost of the boat cruise.

This particular historic windmill at Kinderdijk is kept open for the tourists to view.

The country’s largest collection of historic windmills is found at Kinderdijk.

There’s a kind of serene beauty found in Kinderdijk among this network of historic windmills and I was pleased that these were not replicas or museum exhibits. Rather, they are the “real” thing—in their original location—and this is the best place in all of the coun-try to see old working windmills and the only place to see such a large concen-tration of them. Therefore, Kinderdijk is a very popular tourist attraction but, unlike so many other destinations, this one is not expensive to visit. In fact, ad-mittance is free—and it can be visited at any time. However, it’s best to come on a summer weekend, when all the mills are working (if suffi cient wind is blow-ing).

The boat cruise to Kinderdijk makes for a very nice half-day tour from Rot-terdam, but it’s also accessible via car, bus, and bicycle. While visiting Kin-derdijk, you can walk the footpath, rent a bicycle, or take a canal cruise. If you’re visiting there in early September, you can even witness the windmills all lit up at night, when the special “Mills in Floodlight” event takes place.

“You Can Rely On Our Service”


EMC News - Northumberland - Canned goods, packaged products and other food items will not be the only things available for people using local food banks this spring.

The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit is reaching out to food bank clients in Cobourg, Port Hope, Hastings, Camp-bellford, Warkworth, Bewdley and Brighton, stated a press release.

During “Oral Health Month” in April and over the ensuing weeks, health unit staff will be visiting local food banks to distribute toothbrushes, dental floss and other oral health re-sources. Special efforts will also be made to share information with local families about financial-support pro-grams that can offset the costs of den-tal treatment.

One of these is the Healthy Smiles Ontario program, which can cover the costs of preventive and early dental treatment for children and teens up to age of 17 years.

“Our goal is to talk up the impor-tance of good oral health and provide information about Health Unit pro-grams and services that may be able to benefit local residents,” says Anna Rusak, an oral health promoter with the HKPR District Health Unit.

To date, local food bank opera-

tors have been very supportive of the health unit’s outreach. According to Rusak, making connections with people through area food banks is also beneficial for the Health Unit.

“Frequently, people only call us when there is an emergency,” Rusak notes.

“We’re hoping that through this initiative, we can reach more people before there is a problem by providing them with information about preven-tive dental services and programs.”

In addition to Healthy Smiles On-tario, the health unit also administers two other dental support programs: the Children in Need of Treatment program and the Ontario Works Den-tal Program.

Between the various financial-sup-port programs, hundreds of thousands of dollars are available each year to help local families cover the costs of urgent and preventive dental care.

According to a recent Public Health Ontario report, among Ontarians who did not visit a dentist in the past three years, one in five people cited cost as a barrier.

For more information about oral health and financial-support programs, local residents are encouraged to call the Health Unit toll-free at 1-866-888-4577.

By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - Just un-der 100 people gathered outside MP Daryl Kramp’s offices on Tuesday, April 9, to protest the spread and sale of genetically modified (GM) alfalfa in Ontario, and in talking to protes-tors it was clear that those involved were legitimately frightened about the potential repercussions of such an action.

“We’re petrified,” said National Farmers Union local chapter 334 president John Della Bosca. “The inevitable contamination of all the people that grow alfalfa, whether you want to or not, it will happen.”

Organized in part by the National Farmers Union (NFU), the protest joined dozens of others taking place across Canada and Ontario. While GM alfalfa was approved for Canada in 2005, no variety has so far been ap-proved for commercial release, but that could change soon. NFU member John Wilson said there’s a very real possibility that GM alfalfa is approved in Ontario as soon as this spring, which is why they felt a demonstration was their best course of action.

“The problem is that we’re all part of this enormous genetic modification experiment, where nobody knows where it’s going to lead and what’s going to happen,” Wilson said. “What we do know, is that genetically modi-fied alfalfa, because it is a plant that grows just about everywhere, will cross pollinate with other wild alfalfa and eventually it will even get into organic alfalfa crops.”

Aside from health concerns, Wilson said this will have an adverse affect on alfalfa farmers who choose not to use GM alfalfa, as once the new strain cross pollinates with organic crops lo-cal farmers will no longer be able to market themselves as “GMO free.”

“There’s no taking it back … once you have [GM] alfalfa out there it will

spread; it will cross pollinate, and it will change everything as we know it as far as alfalfa goes,” Wilson said. “We wanted to let Mr. Kramp know that not all farmers are for this, and many of us are against it.”

As part of the demonstration, the protest delivered a letter to Kramp’s office detailing their concerns about the spread of GMO’s into Ontario. Della Bosca said the protest wasn’t just about farmers, but also about fu-ture generations of Canadians.

“It’s a serious concern for not nec-essarily me, but my children, grand-children, because there are things that are linked to genetic modification that really get swept under the car-pet,” Della Bosca said. “We want the message to go out to the population

because people don’t necessarily know what GM means. We want people to become more and more aware that our food supply is being tampered with.”

Not everyone at the protest was a member of the NFU. Along with representatives from the slow food move-ment and other local farmers, Nadine Bertelsen from Madoc described herself as an ordinary person, and said that a large part of the protest was simply spreading the awareness of what GMOs are.

“We eat this food, our children eat this food … we don’t know what it’s doing to us; it’s very frightening,” she said. “If we don’t take a stand somewhere it’s just going to happen, and I feel like I want to be part of a solution.”

By Scott PettigrewEMC Lifestyles - Tweed - Terry Sprague came to Tweed and spoke at St. Andrew’s Church as the first of three guest speakers to a nearly sold-out house. He was invited by the Tweed Historical So-ciety.

Terry has written a column for the Tweed News for the last ten years and has written 48 years for the Picton Gazette. He also now has his own busi-ness called Nature Stuff Tours where he does guid-ed hikes and private tours.

“I started this line of work at Sandbanks Pro-vincial Park where I was a guided hike leader and I fell in love with taking people out and telling things about the park; not only identifying things but explaining how certain flowers fit into the nat-ural scheme of things and why they are there and how things tie in together.”

Terry grew up on a farm on Big Island and still lives there. His first job was at Glenora Fisheries Research facility and after five years he was of-fered a position at Sandbanks as an Interpretive Naturalist after which he went to Quinte Conser-vation where he developed the guided tour pro-gram. When they pulled he continued the program

Terry Sprague attracts a big audience

on his own.The talk he gave in Tweed was a program he put

together at the request of the Prince Edward Stew-ardship Council who happen to have their office located just north of Tweed.

“We felt there was so much natural heritage in Prince Edward County that people were taking for granted we wanted to put together a presentation about the county. We are all somewhat guilty of taking the natural beauty around us for granted; we wanted to point out some of the special things like the sand banks, the natural features and some of the history.”

Terry’s slide show and presentation gave the au-dience a 360-degree view of Prince Edward Coun-ty complete with geological detail of the formation of the land, the type of plant and insect life, how the sand banks were formed and the history of days when the trees were removed and the sand banks shifted and began burying houses and large plots of fertile land. He had stories of the barley days and rum running and at the end he talked about the South Shore and the importance of protecting the bird migration that takes place every year.

After he was finished he had a question period and the subject of wind-generated electricity came up. He expressed real concerns about how this would affect the “… delicate natural biodiversity. The developers seem to think that you can simply take a shovel and move all the wild life but it is not that simple. Migration patterns in birds for ex-ample take hundreds of years to develop and they will fly into those windmills at night which is when they migrate.”

Terry finished his talk with the following, “My message is to cherish these areas that you have in Tweed and protect and enjoy them because once we lose them, they are gone forever. If an opportu-nity comes along to purchase an area or somehow set it aside I say go for it! As our human population explodes it will be harder and harder to set these ar-eas aside for future generations and it is important we preserve these natural gems for the future.”
