By Bill FreemanEMC News - Havelock - Township councillors have placed their bets on Kawartha Downs and Fraserville as the best place to build a casino but they’d like to see revenue arrangements altered so the county and city can share the wealth.

Kawartha Downs in Cavan-Monaghan Town-ship, a popular destination for slots players since 1999, is vying with the City of Peterborough for a full-fledged casino under the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s (OLG) expansion plan.

City council is aggressively courting a casino and says it doesn’t want to partner with Fraserville at the current Kawartha Downs site. Public opinion is much less favourable.

“It seems like the residents of Peterborough don’t want it there [the city],” Councillor Jim Martin said.

Martin believes a casino at Kawartha Downs sharing revenue with the city, county and its munici-palities, including host Cavan-Monaghan, is the best option.

“One of the problems I think all of us had is that our clubs took a beating when it went there. All the bingos fell,” Martin said. “I always felt that the mon-ey that went to the township [Cavan-Monaghan] was a little lopsided and could have been spread around a little more.

“Has the county talked about changing that split?” he wondered.

“If it were split between the city, county and the township maybe it would encourage people to keep it in Fraserville and the city would start pushing it too. The economic spinoffs of that place could be crazy. Has it come up at county council?”

Mayor Ron Gerow says there is a notice of motion from Cavan-Monaghan that suggests “developing a strategy with the county for economic development in the region that would include Cavan-Monaghan, the county and city.

“I see that as an opportunity to raise the same issue. Cavan-Monaghan has said clearly it wants to work with the city but they believe the facility should be enhanced where it exists and not moved into the city.”

The other question, Gerow added, is what role the county’s seven other municipalities would “play in this area.”

He recalled that when the slots first arrived at Kawartha Downs the township of Belmont-Methuen felt the county should receive some of the revenue that streamed to Cavan-Mongahan and Millbrook.

The idea of sharing was dismissed with the fa-mous phrase “not one blade of grass.”

Fraserville obvious choice

for casino

Outrage greets riding proposalBy Bill FreemanEMC News - Havelock - Council is outraged by a suggestion that Havelock-Belmont-Methuen be dumped into the newly named Northumberland-Pine Ridge federal electoral riding in order to have Asphodel-Norwood and Otonabee-South Monaghan brought back into Pe-terborough.

The “bombshell” idea came from Peterborough MP Dean Del Mastro dur-ing a meeting he called with representa-tives from eight townships and the city to discuss a federal electoral commis-sion for Ontario’s proposal that moves Asphodel-Norwood and Otonabee-South Monaghan from Peterborough to the newly named Northumberland-Pine Ridge.

Del Mastro wants Peterborough rid-ing to stay intact but laid out a second option, said Mayor Ron Gerow, upset at the blindsiding move.

“I went to the meeting to support

Otonabee South Monaghan and As-phodel-Norwood and when I got there I found out we were going to be thrown under the bus,” Gerow told council. “Under no circumstances do we want to move into another riding.”

“I felt very slighted at the meeting. I had no notion this was coming up for debate or discussion.”

Gerow’s comments were echoed by HBM resident Wayne Newton who spoke out against the move to “sacri-fice” the township.

“We’re very much opposed to it,” said Newton, urging residents to contact Del Mastro.

Objections can only be raised by a federal MP (the deadline was March 27). There were no opportunities for person-al submissions. The appeal process and the short time frame frustrated officials in Asphodel-Norwood and Otonabee-South Monaghan and now HBM.

“Our only recourse is through Del

Mastro,” said Newton. “HBM was not in the affected area at the time of the [boundary commission] meetings, now we are.”

“I think they are circumventing the system coming in the back door at the last minute,” Newton said of Del Mas-tro’s eleventh hour suggestion.

Belmont-Methuen, he noted, was part of Peterborough County 12 years before Confederation.

“We’re basically frustrated by this given the time frame to work with and by not following the guidelines as to public meetings,” said Newton.

“I don’t like [Del Mastro’s] ap-proach.”

Gerow said Del Mastro is not happy with the commission’s proposal and wants Peterborough riding “put back.” If that’s not possible his “second wish” was removing HBM. Last summer the commission indicated that Peterborough

Casino should go to Fraserville, councillors sayContinued from page 1

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Hastings - Four projects will share funding from the Ultimate Fishing Town Canada’s $25,000 grand prize. The Hastings Environmen-tal Group (HEG) made its official announcement Tuesday night during a gathering at the Hastings Civic Centre.

Six projects were vying for funds from the World Fishing Network prize. The public listened to sub-missions and voted on their preferences earlier this month. Those votes were tallied with the points an independent panel had awarded each project.

Receiving funds will be the waterway fish mon-ument, $12,000; the raceway cleanup, $10,000; fishing information boards, $3,000; and the mid-night madness fishing banners, $1,000.

The additional $1,000 is from Hastings fourth-place finish in the 2011 Ultimate Fishing Town competition.

The projects didn’t receive all of the money they requested but HEG member Tonya Smith says it’s “a good start.

“It is nice to be able to focus on more than one project,” Smith said.

“We wanted the community involved which is why we narrowed it down,” says HEG president Sarah Stoner. “The HEG just wants to stay neutral to all the ideas, we feel we’re the bridge between the money and the community; we’re here to help present the ideas.

“It gets people talking. We’re happy with the way it’s going,” Stoner said.

“People are going to be proud of this because they’ve been involved in the whole process from voting four times a day, to thinking of ideas and voting,” HEG member Kira Mees added.

Mees called the proposals, and the eagerness to see the $25,000 used in the best way possible, a

“unifying exercise.“People are thinking of ways to improve the

community and it’s bringing people together. I hope this spurs people to do the next layer of proj-ects. It can be a catalyst.”

The Hastings Revitalization Association pitched the raceway cleanup project to enhance esthetics and improve water for fish and wildlife habitat. They had budgeted for $20,000 but said it could probably be done for $15,000.

The Hastings Historical Society has run a Mid-night Madness fishing kickoff for the past five years and would like to have three banners promoting the event. They estimated the cost at $500 per banner.

Dr. Skye Morrison proposed three multi-lingual outdoor information displays and estimated the cost for three at $3,995.

The stainless steel fish monument was proposed by Murray Townshend and Armella Moring and

would feature an original work by acclaimed artist Bill Lishman who designed a similar installation in Campbelltown, New Bruns-wick, 35 years ago.

No actual estimate was placed on that project but Lishman sug-gested $15,000 as a ballpark figure. A fish cleaning station and carved wooden fishing monument were the other proposals.

We’ll have more on the announcement next week.

Cavan-Monaghan’s attitude has changed, Ge-row says.

“I think they’d be prepared to share that blade of grass provided there is a win it for everybody and the win [in the HBM] resolution is that the munici-palities and the county might see something from it. We do contribute to it one way or another; our

residents go to the slots,” he said.“I don’t see any reason this time why it shouldn’t

include the county and hopefully all of the munici-palities can work together.”

“I would like to see it stay in Fraserville and the county get a portion of the revenues and disburse it to the townships. I can understand why [the OLG] is looking to the city but it would be better to have

the county in there as a partner too.”Gerow says there’s an opportunity for the city,

county and Cavan-Monaghan to have “further dis-cussions” about development in the Highway 28 corridor.

“I think Cavan-Monaghan is prepared to have those discussions maybe unlike in the past. There appears to be an open mind.”

Young scientists roll up their sleeves

Council outraged with proposal ideariding would not change.

“I told him I didn’t like that and it was also short notice,” he said.

“The process is flawed be-cause we were dragged into this. We weren’t given a chance to speak to the commission. I spoke to quite a number of people the

last few days and everybody is quite happy to stay in Peterbor-ough riding.

“I don’t think it’s fair that the federal government puts a mu-nicipality on the spot this quickly and I don’t believe the process is fair, open or transparent at all. Just leave us alone; leave us the way we are.”

“He’s just giving us away. I just couldn’t believe it,” Council-lor Barry Pomeroy said.

Deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe chided Del Mastro for not com-ing to council to explain his posi-tion to the public.

“That’s the part that really an-noys me, that he’s not here to-night.”

Gerow said he invited Del Mastro.

“I told him it’s his job to come and explain it to the residents. It’s not my job to do that.”

Council approved a “strongly worded” resolution stating its de-sire to stay in Peterborough rid-ing as outlined by the electoral commission.

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - “Science is my favourite subject,” Mya Juskik says without hesitation.

The Grade 6 student at St. Paul’s Catholic Elementary School in Nor-wood teamed up with Amanda Jefferies in this year’s science fair for a little bit of rocket science.

“We wanted to see chemical reactions by mixing vinegar and baking soda,” she said of their rocket project. “It was really for us to see what happens.

“I like science because it’s so cool seeing what happens. When I think of science I think of experiments. It’s re-ally a hands-on subject and I like the hands-on instead of just sitting and do-ing math. I really like exploring and testing stuff. ”

“I think we are both on the same page,” Amanda added. “I might be a rocket scientist just like my uncle.”

That’s music to the ears of St. Paul’s teachers like Kerstin Walsh.

“It’s hands on and that’s what kids like,” Walsh told the Northwest EMC. “Our hope is that kids become interested in science because they’re given some-thing they’re interested in. They usually go and just fly with it.”

Walsh said the science fair touched on the four strands of science, living, biology, physics and chemistry draw-ing deeply on school curriculum but still giving students free rein to study things that captured their interest.

“It’s about the whole scientific pro-cess, how they go from start to finish, the idea that mistakes are good and that you can learn so many things that are practical to life. You’ll see it all here.”

For the first time at St. Paul’s Grade 2 and 3 students were judged, something staff decided to do after visiting the ex-cellent Trent University Science Fair where junior students also strut their scientific ingenuity.

“Trent is a great opportunity for

Tommy Pollock and Mitchell Crow-ley, both in Grade 3 at St. Paul’s Catholic Elementary School, showed that hard-boiled eggs could withstand lots of weight at the school’s science fair.

them,” says Walsh.Another important aspect of the sci-

ence fair, she said, was the presence of 22 science students from Norwood District High School who helped with judging.

“It’s nice to see them come and still be interested in science; they’re in up-per level sciences and they’ve chose to be there.”

Walsh says having the high school students involved was another way of reminding the St. Paul’s students that science is enjoyable and leads you down fascinating pathways.

And the winners are …Primary division: first, Claire Walsh,

Grade 3, “What’s Stronger: Brown or White Eggs?” second, Mitchell Crowley and Tommy Pollock, Grade 3, “Eggshell Experiment; third, Mackenzie Petherick

and Lucy Matthews, “Make it Float.”Junior division: first, Molly Matthews and Ashley Vander-

horst, Grade 5, “Insulation Investigation”; second, Micheal Tardiff, “Eco-friendly Steam Boat”; third, Jacob Lloyd, Grade

5, “When Life Gives You a Lemon, Make Energy.”Intermediate division: first, Trevor Decker and Alexa Van-

derhorst, Grade 7, “Form and Function;” second, Nathan Dunn and Nicolas Buchanan, Grade 8, Egg Shells; third, Liam Connolly, Grade 7, “Which Type of Material Will Keep Ice Frozen?”

“Our hope is that kids become interested in

science because they’re given something they’re

interested in. They usually go and just fly with it.”

Mayors deliver meals, positive messageBy Bill FreemanEMC News - Hastings - Anything that helps people remain independent and in their homes is a win for the community and that’s why Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan and Deputy-mayor Bob Crate champion Community Care’s vital Meals on Wheels program.

Both men participated in the North American-wide May-ors for Meals day helping local Community Care staff and volunteers with a meal delivery,

“It allows them to stay in their house and I think for family it’s reassuring that mom or dad has a good meal at the end of the day,” Crate said as he helped Community Care Hastings program support advisor Sarah McKeown pick up a meal at Banjo’s Restaurant; Banjo’s has partnered with the Hastings office since the program started in the village in June, 2011.

Currently there are five clients who have meals delivered every Wednesday by one of four driver volunteers, McKeown said.

“It’s still relatively small but we are trying to grow it and have room to expand,” she said. “We would love to add on another day if the demand grows.”

The “typical” $6 home-cooked meal consists of turkey, mashed potatoes, vegetables and a tea biscuit.

“It’s delicious and nutritious,” says McKeown who is thrilled that Mike Metcalf of Banjo’s accepted the invitation to partner with Community Care.

“They’ve been great doing it. We’re very happy to have them,” she says. “I had been here for a meal and really enjoyed it and thought they might be great partners. I ap-proached them to see if they might be interested and they said absolutely. I like a restaurant that’s local in town and that people know and is recognizable.”

“We have a lot of seniors in town who really need the pro-gram,” she says.

Having the deputy-mayor help promote the program in Hastings is a boost, McKeown added.

“We’re very happy to have him recognize the importance of the program in the community.”

The same can be said of Hector Macmillan in Campbell-ford where Sharpe’s IGA prepares meals that are delivered Monday to Thursday. On Fridays meals are prepared by the Life Learning Skills class at Campbellford District High School.

“It’s important, especially in a community like ours where we have a fair number of seniors,” Crate says. “I think it’s a reassuring thought for people whose parents want to stay in their home and be looked after.”

Rather than eating junk food or not eating at all, Crate says clients are guaranteed a nutritious meal.

“It’s a healthful win.”He’s certain his late father Fred would have enjoyed the

program.

“The people who have done it rave about it. If we get the word out perhaps more people would take advantage of it.”

From April 1 to December 31, 2012, 3,910 hot and frozen meals were deliv-ered in Trent Hills. Throughout Northumberland over 20,000 meals were delivered by volunteers, says Community Care Northumberland executive director Trish Baird.

For more information on the program call 705-696-3891 or 705-653-1411.

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Peterborough - Peterbor-ough MP Dean Del Mastro called pro-posed federal electoral riding changes to the riding of Peterborough “problematic” in his most recent statement on an issue that has upset constituents and officials in Asphodel-Norwood, Otonabee-South Monaghan and now Havelock-Belmont-Methuen which Del Mastro suggested at a recent meeting could be moved to the newly named riding of Northumberland-Pine Ridge in exchange for the return of the other two townships.

In the federal electoral boundary com-mission for Ontario’s proposal Peterbor-ough riding would lose Asphodel-Nor-wood and Otonabee-South Monaghan while gaining the Township of Trent Lakes (formerly Galway-Cavendish and Harvey) and North Kawartha.

“I do not support the changes as proposed,” Del Mastro said last week. “These changes were made by the Elec-toral Boundaries Commission without any discussion with either myself or representatives of county council.”

Lack of support from bordering rid-ings, satisfied with the commission’s proposal, is a stumbling block to hav-ing Asphodel-Norwood and Otonabee-South Monaghan returned to their his-torical place in Peterborough, he says.

“I personally see the boundaries as suggested by the commission as prob-

lematic,” he added.“With that said, in order to change

them at this point I must have consensus from the bordering ridings which have indicated their general satisfaction with the commission’s report.

“I am working with my colleagues in Parliament to suggest specific changes that will make the ridings more work-able and try to mitigate the feeling among some councils that they will be isolated in a new riding.”

Del Mastro said he would make a presentation to the House Commit-tee on Procedure and House Affairs to “express the widespread dissatisfaction with the proposed boundaries on behalf of my constituents.”

In addition, he said he’d present a “workable alternative that has the sup-port of bordering ridings.”

If that “workable alternative” includes trading off Havelock-Belmont-Methuen then municipal officials and residents in Peterborough riding’s historic easterly township will not be happy. Havelock-Belmont-Methuen has been part of Pe-terborough County since before Confed-eration and has no historical or political affinity with Northumberland.

“Ultimately, the commission does not have the obligation to reflect my inter-vention in their final report but I will do my very best to impress upon them the need to do so,” Del Mastro noted.

By Sue DickensEMC News - Trent Hills - Saving the lives of people who call 911 for medical help is the focus of a tiered response agreement now being considered by Trent Hills.

“The targeted option [Level B or Option 2 response] is by far the best option in terms of public benefits, patient benefits and firefighter benefits,” said Tarmo Uukkivi, chief of Emer-gency Services for Northumberland County.

Tiered response agreements that municipalities in Nor-thumberland had with the province have expired and as a result, “The county has been working through the Northum-berland CAO’s Committee with a goal to develop a consistent tiered response model across all seven [lower-tier] munici-palities,” said Uukkivi.

Option 2 makes the most sense for the public, for paramed-ics and firefighters, he said.

The medical tiered response agreements being proposed are about establishing a protocol as to who responds to calls in various medical emergency situations.

This at a time when call volumes are increasing and there are increased provincial budget pressures.

In Northumberland there are approximately 20,000 calls annually, half of which are for emergencies.

“We get 10,000 emergency calls a year and that translates to a huge increase in volume for emergent volunteer firefight-ers,” said Uukkivi.

Northumberland employs 48 full-time and 46 part-time paramedics who cover the 1,905-square-kilometre area ser-vicing 85,000 people, 24/7.

The headquarters for Ambulance Services is in the county building with ambulance stations in Port Hope, Cobourg, Roseneath, Colborne, Brighton and Campbellford.

Uukkivi told council that in the case of medical responses, “for calls requiring additional manpower or where getting care to a patient as quickly as possible is essential, both fire and EMS should respond”.

An example of this would be for cases where a person suf-fers a sudden cardiac arrest.

“It is essential that high quality CPR and defibrillation are delivered as soon as possible to maximize their chance of sur-vival,” said Uukkivi.

He noted that without an agreement in place there is the added possibility of liability exposure.

Uukkivi also noted that the extensive training firefighters receive is for fire suppression and rescue but that First Aid and medical response training “is an add-on,” for which they never receive additional funding.

One of the positive impacts of a targeted fire response would mean fewer callouts by firefighters as they would only be called “where they provide a real benefit.”

Council considers agreement

EMC News - Trent Hills - The search is on for a secondary student to serve as the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board’s (KPR’s) student trustee for 2013-2014.

The board-wide Student Lead-ership Group is inviting qualified senior secondary students from all KPR high schools to apply for the position.

Students wishing to apply must be in Grade 11 or 12 during their term as trustee.

Application packages are avail-able from all KPR secondary school principals.

The completed packages, which must include a resume and essay outlining each applicant’s interest in the position, must be returned to the principal before April 5.

The Student Leadership Group, which includes student council representatives from all KPR sec-ondary schools, will meet with the candidates, and choose their new trustee, by April 10.

The position is effective August 1, 2013, to July 31, 2014.

The newly elected trustee also will attend board meetings with the incumbent student trustee before the end of this school year, to be oriented to the role.

“We strongly encourage students to apply for this pivotal role,” says Diane Lloyd, board chairperson. “Having a student voice present at meetings helps the board to bet-ter understand students’ views and feelings, and, as a result, make more informed decisions.”

“Previous student trustees have come from all areas of the board, and they have proven to be invaluable,” agrees Director of Education Rusty Hick.

“They understand firsthand the realities of school life, and both trustees and senior adminis-tration take the student trustees’ advice to heart.”

Candidates who have questions about the role of student trustee or the election process also may con-tact Vivienne Jaehn-Kreibaum, student trustee, at ENSS, 613-475-0540 or <[email protected]>; or Jeff Watt, Staff Advisor, at the Cen-tre for Individual Studies, 905-623-6505 or email <[email protected]>.

Applications for student trustee accepted

Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake told Trent Hills Regional News that he is very much in favour of a tiered response.

“The bottom line in what we’re try-ing to accomplish is that the right peo-ple and the right resources are there in a timely manner,” he said.

So far the county has only one agree-ment in place and it is with Port Hope.

“They have opted to go for the level 2 response … we have seen a significant reduction in the number of calls firefight-ers are doing and haven’t had any adverse patient outcomes,” said Uukkivi.

“The benefits for the future include standardization of medical equipment across all municipalities, medical equip-ment exchange programs, capital medi-cal equipment purchase savings and joint EMS/fire service medical and res-cue training.”

Mike Rutter, CAO for Trent Hills, commented, “The goal—and council has talked about this for a long time—the goal is never to save money on the backs of the patient or to compromise patient care—ever.”

A staff report will be brought forward at the next regular meeting, Tuesday, April 2.

Hospital program combats drug-related errors

By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbellford - Medi-cation reconciliation, from admission to discharge, is crucial to the well-being of a patient but statistics indicate more has to be done to prevent adverse drug events.

Jing Zhang, clinical pharmacist with Campbellford Memorial Hospital, made a PowerPoint presentation on this topic to members of the board at a recent regular meeting.

“At discharge the goal is to reconcile medications to what the patient was tak-ing prior to admission and those initiated in hospital with medication they should be taking post discharge to ensure all changes are intentional,” she said.

Citing the Canadian Adverse Events Study, she noted that “drug and fluid re-lated events were the second most common type of event to which adverse events were related.”

“Poorly communicated medical infor-mation at admission and other health care transition points is responsible for as many as 50 per cent of all medication errors in hospital,” she explained.

Citing another study, Zhang told the

board that “23 per cent of hos-pitalized internal medicine pa-tients discharged from an acute care teaching hospital experi-ence an adverse event, 72 per cent determined to be adverse drug events.”

But the statistics don’t stop there.

At admission, another study showed that 54 per cent of the study population had at least one unintended medication discrep-ancy, of which 39 per cent were judged to have the potential to cause moderate to severe dis-comfort or clinical deterioration.

“The most common discrep-ancy [46 per cent] consisted of the omission of a regularly used medication,” she said.

In 2011 a study revealed that medication reconciliation at ad-mission led to a 43 per cent re-duction in actual adverse events caused by errors in admission orders.

“And it is cost effective,” said Zhang.

As well a medical reconcili-ation process can reduce work-load and rework associated with patient medication manage-ment.

It’s all about, “improving patient safety and reducing er-rors,” said Zhang.

Creating a medication list, known as “Best Possible Medi-cation History” (BPMH) is an essential part of medication rec-

onciliation, said Zhang.The ultimate goal is to pre-

vent adverse drug events at ad-mission, transfer and discharge.

The aim is to eliminate un-documented intentional dis-crepancies (adding a prescribed medication) and unintentional discrepancies (prescriber un-intentionally changes, adds or omits a medication).

Many common discrepan-cies include incorrect doses or dosage forms, missed or du-plicated doses resulting from inaccurate medication records, failure to specify which home medications should be resumed and/or discontinued at home, failure to prescribe clinically important home medications while in hospital etc.

The goal is to be “proactive,” said Zhang.

As well conducting a fol-lowup in the community using the MedsCheck program for patients recently discharged, is important.

In conclusion Zhang pointed to a startling statistic, based on audits.

“Only one in 86 patients has a correct list of their medica-tions,” she said.

“It really is important to get people to acknowledge what they are taking,” commented the hospital’s Chief of Staff Dr. Celeste Collins.

“One in 86 is very scary.”

COMMENTARYBy Bill Freeman

Gwynne Dyer

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

EMC Editorial - “We are at a point today when the guns will fall silent and ideas will speak,” declared Abdullah Ocalan, leader of the Kurdish insurgency in Tur-key, on March 21. “Turks and Kurds fought together [in World War I], and launched the Turkish parliament together in 1922. The basis of the new struggle consists of ideas, ideology and democratic politics.” And with that, he de-clared a cease-fire.

Ocalan has declared cease-fires before, but the Turkish govern-

ment made no substantial concessions on Kurdish rights so the fighting resumed. Nor is “democratic politics” a phrase you would readily link to Abdullah Ocalan, who tolerates no dissent in the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), the or-ganisation he created thirty years ago to fight for indepen-dence from Turkey. But this time really may be different.

After three decades of low-level guerilla war in south-eastern Turkey (about a thousand deaths a year), both sides have concluded they cannot win: the Kurds cannot win their independence, and Turkey cannot crush the armed Kurdish resistance to its repressive rule. So Ocalan has stopped demanding independence and now talks about lo-cal self-government, Kurdish language rights, and an end to repression.

The other thing that’s different this time is that Ocalan has actually been talking to Turkey’s prime minister, Re-cep Tayyib Erdogan, since last October. Not face-to-face, of course, but Ocalan has been held prisoner on Imrali is-land, about two hours south of Istanbul, ever since Turkish agents captured him in Kenya in 1999, so it has been easy for Erdogan’s intelligence chief, Hakan Fidan, to go back and forth between the two men.

There is every reason to believe, therefore, that Ocalan’s cease-fire declaration, though apparently unilateral, was really co-ordinated between the two leaders. In which case the next steps that Ocalan promised—the release of pris-oners by both sides and the withdrawal of the 3,000 PKK fighters in southeastern Turkey into the adjacent parts of northern Iraq–were presumably agreed in advance too.

This is not a process that will eventually lead to the emergence of an independent Kurdish state. That goal, promised to the Kurds by the victors at the end of World War I, has been the dream of four generations of Kurds, but it is no closer than ever.

To bring all 30 million Kurds into a single, indepen-dent state would mean redrawing the borders of four major nations–Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria–and that is not going to happen. But Kurds already have full self-government (including a powerful army) in northern Iraq, and the Syr-ian Kurds have effectively thrown off Damascus’s rule in the east of that country, so a lesser Kurdish dream now seems almost within the realm of the possible.

That would be a large area, still divided by national borders but with free movement across them, where the Kurds of the whole region could live, work and teach their children in their own language. More than half that area would be in southeastern Turkey, so the deal that Ocalan and Erdogan may make, if things work out, is vital to this project.

There was never any real chance that a Kurdish state could be carved out of Turkey: the population in the south-east includes a large minority of Turks, and there are now millions of Kurds living in western Turkey (including an estimated three million in Istanbul). But Turkey is a demo-cratic country, and full civil and language rights for Kurds would give them a very large say in how the Kurdish-ma-jority parts of the country are run.

That is what is now on the table, and Ocalan seems content with it. Why would Prime Minister Erdogan (who quite recently said that he would have liked to see Ocalan executed) be interested in making the deal with the man?

Erdogan is currently trying to get a new constitution through parliament. He has two major aims: to prevent future military coups, and to remove the anti-religious elements in the document that have restricted any politi-cal expression of Islam since the founding of the republic ninety years ago. He also wants to strengthen the presi-dency, now a largely ceremonial office, since he plans to run for president next year.

Ocalan has no objections to any of that. All he wants in a new constitution is full equality for the Kurds and their language. Since the new constitution requires a two-thirds majority in parliament, and Erdogan will not have that ma-jority without the support of the main Kurdish party, the Peace and Democracy Party, both men can only get what they want if the deal goes through.

Long-lasting marriages have been built on less promis-ing foundations. This time, at long last, Turkey may finally get around to recognising the rights of the 20 per cent of its people who speak Kurdish. If it does, a long war will end, Erdogan will gain enormous political credit–and a post-modern version of the traditional Kurdish dream will start to come to life.

Kurds and Turks: End of the War?

Boundary flap leaves bad taste

Dear Editor,It’s a sad state of affairs when a federal party leader so

obsessed with personal power decides to become anti-Cana-dian and acts to discourage the economic push all Canadians need.

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair demonstrated his true colours by going to Washington and joining his other Marxist com-rades in the Obama administration to slam efforts to stop the Trans Canada’s Keystone XL pipeline. As just about every-one knows the pipeline represents significant economic op-portunity for all Canadians.

Alberta Premier Alison Redford, with whom I seldom agree, called Mulcair a traitor and in that sense she’s not too far off the mark. How can someone like the leader of the Of-ficial Opposition, someone vying to become prime minister,

put his own political ambitions ahead of the economic future of his own country?

I’ve never really liked Mulcair. The always-scowling for-mer Liberal politician is a far cry from the late Jack Layton, who at least was known to smile every now and then. Every time you see Mulcair, you want to offer him some advice: “Why don’t you simply lighten up a little?”

Mulcair is one scary individual, one who would spell di-saster for Canada if the voters decided to elect him and his party.

So maybe it’s a good thing Mulcair went to Washington where he proved that his own personal ambitions mean more to him than being a loyal Canadian.

Rolly Ethier,Campbellford

Mulcair loses his loyalty in Washington

EMC Editorial - The Federal Electoral Boundary Commission for Ontario proposal that re-designs Peterborough Riding and couples Northumberland with a new hyphen-ated partner called Pine Ridge has steamed up municipal politicians and residents, particularly in Asphodel-Norwood and Otonabee-South Monaghan which could be uprooted from their long-time Peterborough Riding home and placed in Northumber-land-Pine Ridge.

And to muddy the waters further, Peterborough MP Dean Del Mastro, in what he must have thought a well-meaning gesture to Asphodel-Norwood and Otonabee-South Monaghan has floated the idea of shifting Havelock-Belmont-Methuen out of Peterborough Riding and into Northumberland-Pine Ridge in return for the two af-fected townships.

Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Mayor Ron Gerow is understandably outraged by this new twist, presented by the MP at a recent meeting, and joins the league of frus-trated politicians (with the mayor of Asphodel-Norwood and reeve of Otonabee-South Monaghan) who were gobsmacked by the Commission’s “bombshell.”

“If I had been Dean I would have stayed out of the process,” Gerow rightly noted.The Commission holds sway in the end but Del Mastro’s suggestion that HBM be

exchanged for Asphodel-Norwood and Otonabee-South Monaghan personalizes the matter. The people of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen have every right to wonder why they’re being used as trade bait.

Like everyone else, MP Del Mastro wants his riding to stay intact; last summer the Commission said there’d be no changes to the riding. The subtraction of two munici-palities, with two more from the north added, came as a shock to all players.

The narrow window for objections (30 days) via MPs is another irksome impedi-ment.

Mayor Pearcy first learned of the proposal at a Toronto conference. He was shocked and justifiably offended by the re-drawn electoral map.

The affected municipalities have barely had time to channel their indignation.The Havelock-Belmont-Methuen to Northumberland-Pine Ridge Riding swap

sounds like an NHL deal.“I felt very slighted at the meeting because I had no notion this was coming up for

debate or discussion,” Mayor Gerow told his council. “I don’t see any advantage to our community being involved with Northumberland. Just leave us alone; leave us the way we are.”

Asphodel-Norwood and Otonabee-South Monaghan could say the same thing.The Chief Electoral Officer of Canada has determined Ontario should have 15

additional federal seats to reflect population increases. It’s the Commission’s task to establish what it considers a fair and representative redistribution to accommodate the new population figures.

“The Commission is satisfied it has balanced its statutory obligations with the views of the people of Ontario in striving for the goal of effective representation,” Commission chair Mr. Justice George Valin says in their report.

Their first report in July, 2012, left Peterborough unchanged but eliminated the name Northumberland from Ontario’s riding list. The erasure of Northumberland in-furiated county residents and they fired back during public hearings in Cobourg and Belleville.

The fact that the Commission didn’t stop in Peterborough is another major irritant to constituents further north.

“The Commission received substantial criticism that its approach severed com-munities of interest, divided and combined parts of counties, and ignored a historical attachment that runs along north-south lines despite the mixing of rural and urban areas,” the report admits.

“When drawing the electoral boundaries the Commission was mindful of its statu-tory obligation to establish electoral districts with populations as close to the provin-cial quota as reasonably possible, tempered by the obligation … to take into account communities of interest, communities of identity, historical patterns and manageable geographic size.”

Communities of interest, identity and historical patterns were undervalued when two municipalities were shuffled out of Peterborough Riding. The same could be said of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen if it’s forced to join Northumberland-Pine Ridge.

It appears that socio-economic, cultural and historical traditions were ignored when it came to re-formatting Peterborough Riding. Quite the opposite happened in Nor-thumberland where public lobbying appears to have been effective.

Lack of public consultation in Peterborough and a complete change in direction by the Commission has made it impossible for affected municipalities to mount a vigor-ous defence and that sours the process.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor,I spent five days in Belleville General Hospi-

tal two weeks ago. In that time our two-bed room was not dusted or cleaned. When the patient in the other bed left, they did thoroughly clean the bed, I was glad to see.

At a time when most of the patients should have been settling for the night, there was much loud laughing and talking, I presumed at the nurses’ sta-tion. No one was visible in the hall and when I had to ring the bell to tell them the patient in the other bed, who was on oxygen and a catheter, was trying to get out of bed there was no response. I had to go to the door where a Loyalist student nurse saw me and responded and got attention for the other patient.

During the day the staffing was adequate and good.

I understand as one of the cost-cutting measures

they are laying off maintenance staff; this when they cannot now keep halls free of debris and no real cleaning is being done.

The condition of the medical floor is deplorable. It is literally crumbling. Does that mean it is next for expensive upgrades?

This has gone too far. BGH has built and is still adding to its “Taj Mahal” at the expense of Trenton and Prince Edward County hospitals both of which had run in the black prior to amalgamation. Please note too, both hospitals were built by the local mu-nicipalities, not government.

The theory offered to offset the loss of beds in Trenton and the county is that there will be home-care and doctors’ home visits; that’s pie in the sky. The availability of such services is not there and could only come if hospital funding is further cut.

The general practitioners, many of whom are not likely to practise much longer because they

are aging, are overworked right now. When would they have time for home visits? Who will cover their added travel costs?

The VON has the SMILE program: Seniors Managing Independent Living Easily which is very helpful but there is a long wait to be accepted and more limited help than the programme would choose to offer because of a lack of funds.

There are still shortages of spaces in nursing homes for people who need 24/7 care.

Before trying to put the cart before the horse in modifying local health care, all three hospitals need to find sensible ways to improve their daily operation.

They could lower their expenses greatly from needing to fight in-house bugs by employing full-time cleaning staff who have personnel available to ensure maximum cleanliness everywhere in the hospital at all times. This includes the prompt

cleanup and sanitizing of any area where a mishap may occur; such things are frequent in any nursing facility. Such staff should not be on a contract basis but full-time employees with benefits. Such action would promote a feeling of being important health-care members with pride in doing their best.

Reinstate in-hospital food preparation and hopefully a full cafeteria offering healthy locally grown food to patients, staff, day patients and visi-tors. Patients’ hospital meals are not good value or tasteful. Many patients have food brought in by family, thus the nursing staff have no idea what is being eaten.

Do you realise that when Quinte Healthcare closes down a service at our local hospitals, the equipment the community has raised funds for likely is taken to BGH? That to me is thievery.

J. Kennedy,R.R.2, Carrying Place

Return to old-fashioned healthcare service wanted

Dear Editor,I would like to provide an explanation to those

of you who question the anti-wind turbine opposi-tion movement in Ontario. Having been involved in the fight to stop around 37 industrial wind tur-bines (each 156 meters/515 feet high) on Amherst Island, west of Kingston, for the last few years, I have gained considerable insight into the issues.

First, the surge of industrial wind power de-velopment in Ontario isn’t really about fighting climate change. As usual, it is about money—subsidies. The multitude of wind companies developing industrial wind facilities around the Great Lakes are not operated by idealistic en-trepreneurs but by giant corporations. The wind lobby is very powerful and there are huge profits to be made.

Put these interests together with politicians who pursue agendas that are not well consid-ered (and not fiscally enlightened) and we have a “wind rush.”

Unfortunately for us, our politicians have put the cart before the horse in the case of renewable energy in Ontario and we will all pay for it as huge increases in our electricity bills. Consider this: Ontario has an aging grid and no storage sys-tem for surplus power.

Since the development of renewables we often produce more power than we can use—and we pay millions of dollars to other jurisdictions to take it. In fact, the latest plan is to shut down wind turbines in times of this surplus, while wind com-panies will still be compensated for losses (as, I

believe, nuclear plants that partially shut down already are). More and more wind and solar are coming online as energy-hungry industry is leav-ing Ontario—because of high electricity costs. Pretty soon, perhaps, farmers will be paid not to install wind turbines—or solar panels.

I rather think our energy policy needs an over-haul.

Besides the costs, a multitude of issues sur-round the construction and operation of these in-dustrial facilities which are to be located in rural areas—and particularly the rich (and internation-ally recognized) wildlife habitat that surrounds the Great Lakes.

The Green Energy Act has enabled regulatory changes that have removed many basic rights and protections, not only for human health and quality of life but also for the environment and for avian populations in particular. This regulatory “free ride,” combined with a supportive bureaucracy (and a strangely quiet media) means Big Wind only has to pay lip service to the many serious concerns opponents have raised.

It’s no surprise that a wind “farm” in Ontario has never been refused, because the appeal pro-cess is also a farce. The democratic process is in question here and our politicians are not acting honourably.

So, please do not deride those who question the development of these mega-structures. The impli-cations for people and wildlife that are directly affected by them are far-reaching. But they will affect you too. Besides health and noise issues,

there are concerns over location of airports, steril-ization of agricultural land, vista destruction, fire threat, removal of derelict turbines (once the sub-sidies run out), etc, etc.

Wind power is all about subsidies not green energy

OPP officers 35th-highest paid in province

Dear Editor,I read with interest the letter to the

editor in your March 21, 2013, edition entitled “It is time for two-tier polic-ing.”

In that letter, author Chris Clysdale suggested that the OPP is “demanding” more money to provide the same or less service than the communities were provided with less than 20 years ago, and that OPP officers are being given massive pay raises at a time of budget deficits.

Associations from across the prov-ince are working with police chiefs and key stakeholders to study how policing is delivered in the Province of Ontario. What is being realized at the Ministry-convened committee is that, while there are areas where some efficiencies will

be achieved, the delivery of policing services in Ontario are very efficient in terms of costs and when judged on a police officer to population comparison.

Policing has become the social agency of last choice and the amount of time spent dealing with issues like mental illness in our communities are contributing to pressures on both our policing budgets and those who are providing these vital services.

Contrary to the author’s assertion that OPP officers were being given “massive pay and benefits increases,” our mem-bers did our part to control costs during the recent economic challenges, voluntarily taking 0 per cent increases for two full years. No other police service in Ontario did that. In 2014, our officers will be paid a wage equivalent to (not more than) the top-paid force. Currently, OPP officers are the 35th-highest paid in Ontario; this will just be a matter of catching up.

The author’s suggestion that a two-tier policing model would be more effective assumes that the primary driver of costs for policing is salaries, but the reality is that is not the case. Quite frankly, the nature of policing has changed. Unlike the days of 20 years ago, officers today have to must contend with an increased reliance on modern technology, complex investigations (such as international investigations and those involving white-collar crime), and requirements imposed by the courts. All of these things add to the budget pressures. Police have been asked to do more, and the bot-tom line is that costs more.

It is too simplistic to speak about two-tier policing. We need to talk about community safety as a whole and includ-ed in those discussions must be other involved ministries.

But as we continue to wrestle with the costs of policing, thanks to the hard work and professionalism of uniform and civilian law enforcement, our communities are safer than ever before. The fact that crime rates are down is evidence that getting more officers on the street (with access to more modern equipment and better resources) is working. Crime prevention and abatement strategies are working.

TRAVEL

By John M. SmithEMC Lifestyles - Keukenhof, known as the Garden of Europe, is one of the major springtime tourist attractions in all of the Netherlands. After all, it’s reputed to be “the most beautiful spring garden in the world,” and each year it provides visitors with spectacular displays of crocuses, tu-lips, hyacinths, and daffodils, among oth-ers. More than seven million bulbs are planted here annually, and as the visitor strolls around the 15 kilometres of foot-paths within the 32-hectare park, each new turn of the walking path seems to provide even more “eye candy.”

Keukenhof is located in the small town of Lisse, about 25 kilometres southwest of Amsterdam, and it was established in 1949 by the then-mayor of Lisse. Since the Netherlands had become the world’s largest exporter of flowers, the idea was to present a flower exhibit where growers could show off their hybrids and help the Dutch export industry even further.

When I was in Amsterdam last spring, I decided to spend a day in these nearby gardens, so I simply hopped on a train to the airport, using my eurail pass, <www.raileurope.com>, and then took bus #58, which led me directly to the Keukenhof, <www.keukenhof.nl> in about half an hour, and it certainly proved to be a wondrous and worth-while destination. However, the major problem here is that I just couldn’t stop taking photos! I discovered that about a thousand varieties of tulips were on display among the more than four mil-lion tulips in this historic park, and along with the many other varieties of outdoor spring flowers, there were also beautiful shrubs, statues, waterfalls, lakes, fountains, artistic works, and pa-vilions. The pavilions offered displays of such varieties as azaleas, orchids, and lilies; and I just happened to be in the Willem-Alexander Pavilion at the time of its presentation of the world’s largest lily show! I also visited the Juliana Pa-vilion, where I found a fascinating his-tory of the tulip; the Bulb Information Pavilion, the Beatrix Pavilion, with its several varieties of orchids; Historical Garden, a walled garden; Azalea Lane; Beech Tree Lane; Japanese Garden; Natural Garden; Inspiration Gardens;

Visiting Keukenhof, the Garden of Europe

You’ll even find “all things tulip,” even tulip purses, for sale here.

You’ll find a great variety of tulips on display in Keukenhof.

The busy entrance to Keukenhof.

Zocher Garden, with its stepping stones within a pond; Kuekenhof Castle with its art exhibition; Children’s Para-dise with its playground, maze, and petting farm; and Mill Square, a great place from which to take a photo of the sur-rounding tulip fields.

It was intriguing to simply walk among these spring blooms, but I also discovered that this destination offered a flower shop for ordering bulbs that can be shipped worldwide, live bands, and several restaurants and souvenir shops where one could purchase such items as wooden shoes, a Keukenhof calendar, a wooden tulip or stained glass tulip or even a tulip-shaped purse. There are crowds of people walking about here, so this is not a place for cycling. However, just outside the gates to the park, I found a bicycle rental shop, and I could then enjoy a ride through the flowering fields located near Keukenhof. There’s something very special about cycling through fields of bloom-ing tulips on a warm spring day!

Another interesting tour of the area is available via flat “whisper boats,” driven by electric engines. They’ll take you around the neighbouring tulip fields by way of the shallow waterways, and again you’ll have that “up close and personal look” at the spectacular fields in bloom.

The park entrance fee is 15 EUR (7.50 EUR for children 4-11) for the day (8 a.m. – 7:30 p.m.), and seasonal passes are also available. Keukenhof will be open this year from March 21 to May 20, and the best time to visit is usually in April. If you’re planning a trip to Holland soon, I’d suggest a visit to this bulb area on April 20, for then you can see the free annual Flower Parade as it winds its way along a 40-kilometre route

between Noordwijk and Haarlem. This popular parade consists of about 20 large floats, 30 decorated luxury cars, and sev-eral marching bands and musicians.

For the past several years, Keukenhof has featured a theme country each year. Last spring, when I was there, it was Poland (I found a very informative display on “Surprising Poland” in the Juliana Pavilion.), and this year it will be the United Kingdom. Therefore, if you do happen to get there in 2013, you’ll see a special flower bulb mosaic of Big Ben and the Tower Bridge displayed, measuring 13 by 22 metres, and featuring about 60,000 bulbs. You’ll also see a new variety of tulip in the park, for the Holland-America cruiseship line, which was founded in nearby Rotterdam in 1873, has part-nered with Keukenhof to develop this new variety in celebra-tion of its 140th anniversary.

This floral park offers a number of special events and guided tours each spring. It’s also open for an October weekend - for the National Flower Bulb Market.

Food drive at school focused on compassion

The Norwood Legion is a “keeper of history”By Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - “If the bannisters could only speak,” Norwood District High School teacher Dianne Gra-ham said during a visit to the impressive and “evolving” Nor-wood Legion Branch 300 museum.

Graham and her Learning Life Skills class were guests of Rob Gordon and Rob Howat during a special visit to the new museum at the branch which is housed in an upstairs room and corridor of the former Norwood High School built 118 years ago.

“The history of this building, you can feel it when you walk in. You look at the bannisters and wonder how many students went up and down those stairs,” Graham, who has not been upstairs at Branch 300 since the 1978 Norwood Fair Ambas-sador contest, told the The Trent Hills Regional News.

She is delighted that the space is active again and being transformed into an attractive museum of local and interna-tional scope.

“We have this jewel sitting here and have such wonder-

ful members who are willing to take the time out of their lives to meet with us. The wealth of knowledge they have you can’t get from a book; you can’t get the enthusiasm.” They are the “history keepers,” she says.

Graham says “one of the biggest things” about the visit for her students is the “community connections.”

“They get to see a military uniform worn by a former Norwood High vice principal. It makes it seem real,” she said. “My hope is that when they go home it instigates conversations [and] it creates more learning, a continuum through the generations.”

Vice principal and Liberal MP John Richardson served in the military re-serves for 40 years and became a Briga-dier General.

Encouraging conversations with grandparents and older relatives is something Graham encourages her stu-dents to do.

“We can learn so much from our el-ders and the people here who talk about [history]. Seniors have so much to teach our students. This is a good step.”

The LLS students are keen partici-pants in the Branch 300 Remembrance Day poster contest and Graham hopes the visit provides additional inspiration.

“They will talk about it and talk about it and little things will come up.”

“It’s evolving,” Gordon, the muse-um’s brainchild, says. “We hope to have

more exhibits.”The oldest artefact is discharge papers from the

Boer War. The most recent find is a Prussian army button.

“I’m always interested in what people have. I don’t want to duplicate or triplicate what we have but I’m always looking for new things. It’s really exciting when you find something new.”

Gordon says the museum was very popular dur-

ing the Branch 300 Family Day event. He says he spoke to people who might have artefacts that would fit in well at the museum.

“All this is emerging because of what we have upstairs.”

The next phase is to hang more photos in the corridor and improve its lighting.

“It’s all step by step. I’m very pleased with how it’s evolved.”

By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbellford - Not only are the virtues of Catholic education food for thought and part of the teach-ings at the schools, they also translate into real life lessons for students.

“It was fun to get all the food for the people that need it,” said Timothy Marlow, a Grade 7 student at St. Mary Catholic Elementary School in Campbellford.

He was talking to Trent Hills Regional News about the re-cent food drive the students participated in as one way to put their lessons in the classroom into real world practice.

“The food drive is usually done at Christmastime but the food bank here advised us that their low time is February and March, so we decided as a school to move it to then,” said

Peggy O’Connor, special education re-source teacher at St. Mary school.

She talked about how proud she is of the students’ efforts and what it means for them.

“We talked a lot about what compas-sion is,” said O’Connor.

“These four boys here really helped out by going to the classrooms and col-lecting the food items,” she added, mo-tioning to Timothy Marlow, Mathew Young, Riley Brock, all Grade 7 students and Patrick Oates, who is in Grade 8.

“They are the ones who were remind-ing everyone every day about this,” she added, explaining it is a project that fits in well with one of the Catholic virtues, that of compassion.

Young Patrick agreed.“We did it to help people and recog-

nize the virtue of compassion,” he said.“It felt good to go to the rooms and

collect the food,” added Mathew.“It’s important because it’s for all the

kids who don’t have any food,” said Ri-ley.

All of the 200 students who attend St. Mary school, from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 8 participated in the food drive.

“We advertised it in our school news-letter,” explained O’Connor.

Students brought donations of food to class and eventually they were boxed up. Delivery to the Fare Share Food Bank Campbellford and Warkworth was scheduled to happen yesterday.

The boys were part of the process, making sure the food was delivered per-sonally with the help of a school custo-dian.

“We called it ‘building a mountain of compassion’ and used snowballs to rep-resent each class donations,” comment-ed Virginia Marini, school principal.

For every ten items a paper snowball was put on a giant poster in the hallway near the entrance to the school.

“We ended up with around 800 food items donated and the school earned a half day winter play day,” said Marini.

It was a win-win for everyone.

New Community Care o� ce gets red ribbon treatment

Community Care Peterborough board president Jim Patterson joins Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Mayor Ron Gerow, co-ordinator Tammy Ross and some of the local organiza-tion’s volunteers in the ribbon-cutting of their new o� ce on Concession Street. Photo: Bill Freeman

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Havelock - The fi rst thing you notice when you walk into Havelock Community Care’s new of-fi ce, besides the brightness and the space, is the quality of the air, the complete lack of second-hand tobacco smoke which plagued their old offi ce on Quebec Street.

Community Care held the grand opening of the 1,200-square-foot loca-tion in the former Style Fitness Centre (which has moved next door) on Con-cession Street last week with scores of people dropping by including many of the offi ce’s 75 volunteers, 275 clients, township Mayor Ron Gerow, Peterbor-ough Community Care board members and staff from across the county.

“We really like it here,” co-ordinator Tammy Ross said.

The initial “negative vibe” for not be-ing downtown has vanished, Ross says, and new people are dropping in all the time.

“All the volunteers have said this is such a positive move,” she said. “We are picking up new traffi c up County Road 46 and Kim [landlord and Style Fitness owner Kim Russell] is promoting us at the gym. We have a lot of new custom-ers but we also have our regulars.

“We’ve been very busy since we opened the doors; there’s constantly someone out front.”

Last year it became increasingly evident Community Care had to move because cigarette smoke from the apart-ments above their Quebec Street site had become a health issue. By good fortune they discovered the Concession Street space on Kijji.

The organization also received a one-

time grant of $2,500 from the municipality after a presentation by board president-elect Geoff Quirt and executive director Danielle Belair to council in December. That money made moving possible, says Ross.

“We really needed to get out of our old space.”The township will include a line item in subse-

quent budgets for Community Care.“The township has been very supportive,” said

Ross. “They helped us to be able to fi nancially make the move.”

It also “showed their support for our services and was an acknowledgement of our importance and role in the community,” she added

“Council has talked quite a bit over the last cou-ple of years about the vitality of the organization for seniors and others,” Mayor Gerow noted.

“Community Care has been a long-time vital service provider to the community and we want to support it for years to come,” he said.

“We were more than pleased to partner with Community Care to see this happen.”

“I really think it’s going to be very good. I’m really impressed,” said ten-year volunteer Barb Grainger. “It’s a win-win situation for the whole township.

“It’s a whole different spirit here. I like it a lot,” added Sharon Estabrooks.

Township likes millpond park ideaBy Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - Township council likes

the idea of a small park on the west side of the millpond.

The Asphodel-Norwood Beautifi cation Com-mittee would like to develop an area off County Road 40 on the same side as the Lions picnic shel-ter. The site is accessible off County Road 40 from the nearby sidewalk.

“It’s not so much developing it as transforming it,” committee member Casey Moon told council-lors during a brief presentation about the site which is less than half an acre in size.

“It’s completely overgrown and [covered] with garbage,” Moon said. “We’d like to clear out some of the overgrowth and get rid of the garbage and develop it as a park with some fl owers and shrubs. I personally like the idea of having a bit of a herb garden.

“It’s just another one of those places that nobody notices is there,” she said. “It would be another park site for somebody to enjoy the pond view.”

It fi ts in nicely with the Millpond Committee’s

own plans for developing some of the other areas around the pond.”

“If somebody wanted to take one of those walks all around in the future it would be an interesting stop place,” Moon said. “It would connect to the Lions Park and creating a loop without the direct trail going right around the pond.”

Developing the parkette is in keeping with the idea of making the millpond a destination for walk-ers and hikers and other nature lovers, she added.

And while a picnic table would be nice Moon and the Beautifi cation Committee would rather just have a bench so that the area does not become a “party site.”

The cost would be “minimal,” she added, with committee members prepared to volunteer their time doing the work. They have also received funding from the Peterborough Horticultural Soci-ety to buy shrubs and will “take advantage” of the Asphodel-Norwood Horticultural Society’s annual spring sale.

“The only maintenance we could foresee would be grass cutting; that’s even if there is grass. We

want to keep it more natural with a bit of a path and a bench.”

It is important, she stressed, to keep the natural vegetation.

Once the garbage and overgrowth is cleared out there would be a “gentle slope” toward the millpond shoreline which will remain naturalized as a de-terrent buffer against geese.

The objective, Moon added, is to at-tract more people to the millpond which is an iconic spot in the township and the place where Norwood’s economic de-velopment history began and thrived.

“We defi nitely don’t want it to be a party site,” Mayor Doug Pearcy, a Beau-tifi cation Committee member, said.

“We want it so that people walking [at the pond] have a place to sit.”

Alcohol and cannabis top the list of drugs used by studentsEditor’s Note:

This is Part III, the final in a series of articles that began with an interview with a mother in Campbellford whose daughters and son have come face to face with the world of illegal drugs. She is hoping her story will give hope to other parents going through the same struggle with their kids.

Part II was about treatment programs and services.

By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbellford - Alcohol and cannabis continue to be at the top of the list of drugs used by students.

That is just one of the findings of a study that spanned 34 years, the longest ongoing study of a youth population in Canada and one of the longest in the world.

The Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey (OSDUHS) was pro-vided to Trent Hills Regional News by Donna Rogers, executive director at fourCAST in Peterborough.

The target population of the OS-DUHS was Grade 7 to 12 students (Grade 13 when it existed), enrolled in publicly funded schools in Ontario.

Rogers notes that the study was begun in 1967 when several Toronto school boards approached the former Addiction Research Foundation (now the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health).

“It is one of the leading pieces of re-source around youth substance abuse,” she said.

It examined epidemiological trends in student drug use, mental and physi-

cal health and risk behaviours and iden-tified risk and protective factors.

Rogers confirms what the study shows.

“The most prevalent problem sub-stance is alcohol.”

FourCAST sees about 310 admis-sions annually from Northumberland County, of which 50 to 60 are from Campbellford. Her statistics show 65 per cent identified alcohol as the prob-lem substance, 25 per cent identified Cannabis, 18 per cent said opiates and 15 per cent said cocaine.

“Keep in mind the context … these are people who sought out treatment. This isn’t the population experiencing problems,” said Rogers.

The OSDUHS provided estimates

for lifetime and past year drug use (in 2011) for students in high school.

Alcohol, binge drinking, the use of cannabis ranked high as did the use of opioid pain relievers and prescrip-tion drug use although numbers have dropped over time.

In an overview of drug use in 2011, the final year of the study, 54.9 per cent of students reporting use alcohol.

Cannabis was shown to be the most commonly used illicit drug, with 22 per cent reporting use in 2011.

The non-medical use of prescription opioid pain relievers such as codeine,

Percocet, Percodan, Demerol or Tyle-nol #3 ranked after cannabis at 14 per cent.

Cigarettes ranked next with 8.7 per cent reporting smoking cigarettes in 2011.

As stated the study noted that be-tween 1999 and 2011 there were some downward changes in the numbers: alcohol use dropped from 66 per cent, cannabis from 28 per cent and cigarette use from 28 per cent.

Binge drinking increased signifi-cantly with grade levels. It was lowest among 7th graders (one per cent) and

climbed to a high of 40 per cent among 12th graders.

Cannabis use also increased with each grade, from two per cent among 7th graders to about 36 per cent among students in Grades 11 and 12.

This study, the latest knowledge base available, is being used for designing and targeting preventive and health promotion programs, public health pol-icy and more.

The Campbellford mom’s question remains: “My concern is where do these kids go now? Where’s the soft place for them to land?”

Will Dental Implants Work for You?

Dr. Paul Giuliani D.D.S.

Missing teeth or dentures that slip can be embarrassing and can make you feel less confident about smiling or eating in public. Luckily, there is a permanent solution to these problems. Dental implants are a comfortable and lasting replacement for missing teeth. With today’s dental techniques and technologies, dental implants are more efficient and affordable than ever before. Anchored permanently into your jaw, dental implants integrate with your own bone structure. They are stable, and look and feel like natural teeth. Best of all, with proper hygiene, implants are designed to last the longest of all dental treatments. Implants can replace a single missing tooth or several teeth. They can also be used to securely and comfortably support dentures, allowing you to enjoy all foods without fear of slippage. Bridge Street Dental Centre has a number of implant options to suit your needs, lifestyle, and budget. Call and ask us about dental implants today. Dr. Paul Giuliani is a general dentist offering dental implant treatments.

EMC News - Northumberland - Rick Nor-lock, MP Northumberland-Quinte West welcomes the new federal budget—Economic Action Plan 2013—and its continued focus on job creation, economic growth, and long-term prosperity as good news for Northumberland-Quinte West.

The plan, which will see Canada return to bal-anced budgets in 2015, keeps federal taxes at their lowest level in 50 years, he states in a press re-lease.

“While Canada has the best job creation record among all G-7 countries since the worst of the global recession with over 950,000 net new jobs,

we recognize that the global economy remains very challenging,” said Norlock.

“In Economic Action Plan 2013, our Conserva-tive government remains squarely focused on the number one priority of Canadians, with a forward-looking plan to help create jobs and grow the econ-omy in Ontario and across Canada.”

He outlined that Economic Action Plan 2013 which includes key measures to strengthen Can-ada’s economy, including: increased skills and training support, including the new $15,000 Can-ada Job Grant, to help more Canadians find high-quality, well-paying jobs; tax breaks for manufac-

turers who buy new machinery and equipment to stay competitive, and an extended “hiring credit” for small businesses who create jobs; a record $70-billion federal investment in infrastructure across Canada, including roads, bridges, subways, rail lines, and ports; major investments in research and technology; new tax relief for Canadians who give to charity, adopt a child, or rely on homecare services; elimination of “import tax” tariffs on everyday items Canadian families buy, like baby clothing, sports gear, and exercise equipment and much more.

Economic Action Plan 2013 also confirmed the

Conservative government’s continued all-time re-cord support for hospitals, schools, and other im-portant health and social services in Ontario, stated the release.

In 2013-2014, federal transfer support to On-tario will be almost $9 billion higher than under the former federal Liberal government.

“We all remember the former Liberal govern-ment slashed transfers for health care and educa-tion. Our Conservative government rejects that shameful practice, and is protecting and growing transfers to help support the services that Ontario families depend on,” he concluded.

Tenth annual Cram the Cruiser

EMC News - Trent Hills - In the past week, the Halibur-ton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit has mailed more than 6,500 first notices to students in Haliburton County, Northumberland County and the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Students who receive the notices are those for whom the Health Unit does not have up-to-date immunization records, stated officials in a press release.

Under the Immunization of School Pupils Act, the Health Unit must ensure students attending school are immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps and ru-bella.

People who get these diseases can face serious compli-cations, even death, which is why the Ontario government provides vaccines free-of-charge to protect against these dis-eases.

“It is not the Health Unit’s intent to suspend students,” said Linda McCarey, director of communicable disease control with the HKPR Health Unit.

“Rather, our goal is to protect everyone in our community from common diseases that can be prevented by vaccines.

Students face suspension if immunizations not up-to-date

When most people are vaccinated, we are all better protect-ed.”

Families who receive first notices this month are advised to contact the Health Unit as soon as possible and provide the missing immunization information. In many cases, students have received the required vaccines from a family doctor or other health care provider, but parents have not provided the records to the Health Unit.

“Records of immunization given by family doctors are not automatically forwarded to the Health Unit, so the responsi-bility falls to parents,” said McCarey.

“For many people, the Health Unit notices are a necessary reminder to bring or fax their child’s immunization record to the Health Unit so the information can be added to our database.”

A follow-up notice will be sent to students and their fami-lies in late May if immunization information is still incom-plete.

Plans for the suspension of students with incomplete re-cords will be reviewed at that time. Parents and guardians have until the end of May to respond to this notice to update their child’s immunization and provide the Health Unit with the required information.

Families who receive a notice should immediately check their child’s immunization record and call the Health Unit toll-free at 1-866-888-4577, ext. 253 or ext. 324, to provide any missing information.

Tractors ready to parade in Norwood again

The second annual Norwood District High tractor parade is set for April 3. Organizing the event are committee members Evan Stanley, Kortney Seabrook, Brittany Meier, all in Grade 12, and Grade 10 student Brett Stockdale. Photo: Bill Freeman

By Bill FreemanEMC Events - Norwood - The sweet sound of tractors will fill the streets of Norwood April 3.

The second annual Norwood District High School Tractor Parade for CHAMPS (The War Amps of Canada Child Am-putee Program) is geared up and ready to go and organizers hope they can top last year’s $1,500 figure.

“Last year we did very well; as long as we keep up to that mark we’ll be doing good,” committee member Evan Stan-ley said. He and fellow committee members Brett Stock-dale, Brittany Meier and Kortney Seabrook hope to have at least 20 tractors in the parade but would like even more.

“We’re asking people who are participating to bring fam-ily members. Hopefully that will up the numbers,” Evan said.

Evan said last year’s parade was the first in Ontario, pos-sibly Canada, and “puts us on the map.”

He says it felt “pretty weird” riding a tractor through the streets but it fits right in with the rural-agricultural nature of the community; as well, rider Evan Calder has been a lifelong part of the CHAMPs program and NDHS graduate

Jamie Lunn is now public awareness officer for The War Amps of Canada.

“It’s Norwood, it’s a small commu-nity; it’s a rural community so it should be done,” Evan added.

The student committee has received help from principal Mary-Lou Stein-mann and teachers Tim Ellis and Mike Sherwin as well as Evan’s mother Suzi.

Both girls and guys will participate in the parade, with at least one teacher.

“We’re going to have lots of colours. People will be bringing some antiques and some newer ones, a variety for everyone.”

And if they can expand the number to 20 or more, Evan thinks that will make the parade last longer than it did last year. Even though Evan graduates at the end of this year, he says the pa-rade will continue with Brett taking the lead in 2014. Evan hopes to return as a participant. The parade will begin at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre at 11:30 a.m. and drive down Elm Street into town.

“We’re asking people who are participating to bring family members.

Hopefully that will up the numbers.”

EMC News - Peterborough - Peterborough MP Dean Del Mastro will lead a tractor parade to help kick off this year’s Peterborough Exhi-bition. The parade will feature farmers and ag-ricultural enthusiasts in a show of support for the 168th annual exhibition August 8 to 11.

“I am excited to lead this parade to kick off

the Peterborough Ex in style by highlighting the link between the Exhibition and our ag-ricultural economy,” Del Mastro said. “Intro-ducing young people and others from the city to farm-related activities is tremendously im-portant and that is what the Peterborough Ex has done for more than 150 years.

The parade is still in the planning stages and more details will be made public as they are finalized. Orga-nizers expect to have participants from across Peterbor-ough County.

The parade will include antique and modern tractors as well as farm machinery used in agricultural opera-tions.

“We are always looking for new events to highlight agriculture. This event will do just that,” Peterborough Agricultural Society president Ryan Moore said.

Moore says details about the Exhibition’s tractor pa-rade will be posted on their web site, <www.peterbor-oughex.ca>, as they are confirmed.

“Carly’s Voice” author talks about his daughter’s journey EMC News - Belleville - What do Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Carly Fleischmann have in common?

Autism.They also share another important char-

acteristic: Autism didn’t stop them from be-coming exceptional human beings.

The genius of Einstein and Newton revo-lutionized the way in which we relate to our world, even today. Fleischmann’s story is also powerful. Diagnosed with severe non-verbal autism at the age of two, doctors pre-dicted she would never communicate. Then, when she was ten, Carly typed the words, “help teeth hurt.” Turned out she had some-thing to say, after all.

Today, Carly is 17 and enrolled in gift-ed classes in a mainstream high school. She’s still typing—on social media to a

far-reaching audience of tens of thousands of followers. She has co-authored a book, with her father, called Carly’s Voice: Break-ing Through Autism, which chronicles her amazing journey.

On April 30, 2013, at 7 p.m., Albert Col-lege is hosting the annual Shewfelt Lecture in our historic chapel at 160 Dundas Street West, Belleville.

Guest speaker Arthur Fleischmann will share his daughter’s story, answer questions and sign copies of their book at a reception following the public lecture. It promises to be an evening you’ll never forget.

Tatyana Haddock, Kindergarten teacher in the Early Primary Learning Centre at Albert College, is particularly interested in what Fleischmann has to say. Haddock has a 12-year-old son, Rowan, as well as iden-

tical twin boys, Miguel and Max, who are seven years old. Miguel has severe autism and doesn’t speak, just like Carly; Max has Asperger’s, another form of autism which includes severe obsessive-compulsive dis-order and is part of what is known as the “autism spectrum disorders” (ASD).

One of the biggest misconceptions about children with ASD is that they are cogni-tively disabled, says Haddock. Not true, she points out. “It is important not to underes-timate these children. We need to educate them and support their families to get these children to reach their full potential.”

For more information about the Shewfelt Lecture or to buy tickets ($15 for adults; $10 for students and seniors), please call Karen Windover at 613-968-5726 ext. 2264 or go to <www.albertcollege.ca>. Carly’s Voice author Arthur Fleischman will be speak-

ing at Albert College on April 30, at 7 p.m., as part of the annual Shewfelt Lecture series.Do you have a comment about something you have read in our paper?

EMC News - Campbellford - The Auxiliary to Campbell-ford Memorial Hospital recently received a donation from members of the Taoist Tai Chi organization.

A cheque for $500 was donated to be used toward the pur-chase of the vital signs monitor and the upgrade for which the auxiliary is fund raising this year.

“We recognize that a hospital in a rural community is an important factor in the health care of many local residents. Our members who practise Taoist Tai Chi in Campbellford and Norwood generously contributed to a variety of fund-raising efforts to donate this money toward the auxiliary’s efforts,” said auxiliary co-chair Rosemarie Peikes who ac-cepted the cheque.

“We are honoured and very grateful. Thank you so much.”

The main mission of the Taoist Tai Chi organization, which is a registered Canadian charitable group founded in 1970 by Master Moy Lin-Shin, is to promote health in the community using the Taoist Tai Chi practices.

EMC Lifestyles - Gentle Reader, by the time you are reading this (Maundy Thursday) you have two shopping days to purchase your Easter hydrangea. All the garden centres, corner stores and even gas stations are flogging these things now. Hydee and her sisters are everywhere, which is good because it means you have choice with selection, price and quality. (Hydee sounds like Heidi, it gives your plant a name but, more important, it lets me use fewer key strokes and so I don’t have to worry about spelling hydrangea correctly.) With proper care, you can sus-tain this shrub until spring and then plant in your flower garden. Or, you can con-sider Hydee a short-term table top deco-ration meant to be consigned to the com-post pile. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing, GR. These forced hot house plants are “crops” with a specific purpose. If you hold the latter view, pick a pretty lassie. If you’ve graduated from the gardening school that once a plant has forced its way into the light of day it is meant to be nurtured as long as possible.

EMC Lifestyles - What’s so good about Friday? I don’t mean good in the TGIF sense, but rather, why do we call

The good, noble, and heroicthis particular holiday Good? In the Christian tradition, it’s the day Christ of-fered up His life as a ransom for many, paying the penalty for sin. Yet while this should be considered good, I sometimes worry that our culture fails to recognize the truly good, the truly noble, the truly heroic in its midst.

When I was a little girl in school World War II was only 30 or 40 years in the past. That made it a looming force in our culture, and so much of my novel reading and thinking between those important ages of eight and 15 centred around World War II. We studied it in school. We met Holocaust survivors in assemblies. And I always wondered: would I have hidden Anne Frank?

Would I have rescued Jewish babies out of Germany? Regu-lar people acted heroically then, at great cost.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer is one of my heroes. Arrested for opposi-tion to the Nazis, he was executed in a concentration camp two weeks before Germany capitulated. Yet his life, though cut short, still speaks. He was determined that his life would matter—that he would not watch injustice and do nothing, but that he would take whatever action was necessary to make a difference. He said that our role is not simply to “bandage the victims under the wheel, but jam the spoke in the wheel itself.”

Emma Sky is a British anti-war activist who determined to live out this principle. She travelled to Iraq to protest Western involvement. Yet when she arrived, she spent time with U.S. troops and was tremendously impressed with their dedica-tion and their commitment to bettering the lives of the people there. She ended up staying in Iraq, serving as civilian gover-nor in Kirkuk and acting as advisor to key U.S. generals. She met real heroes, and it changed everything to her.

Hydee the hydrangea

Today the military is one of the few avenues that offer up that example of real heroism, because in our everyday lives we don’t tend to live with threats of violence. Perhaps that’s why stories of mass shootings rivet us: we’re mesmerized by the horrific tragedy, but we’re also entranced because inevi-tably some become inadvertent heroes. Someone who woke up that morning, who had their cereal like everyone else does, who ran out the door breathless, a little bit late, in a split sec-ond made a decision that cost them their lives, but saved oth-ers. An ordinary person does something extraordinary.

Isn’t that always good news, even if it’s intertwined with tragedy? Isn’t that what the human condition yearns for: a chance to transcend the everyday ordinariness of our quest for a better life, and instead see someone doing something selfless—something that enlarges the soul and makes our world that little bit less shallow, and much more meaningful.

Self-fulfillment is our god today. We need to find our-selves, chase after happiness, and be true to our feelings. We are to toss aside that which makes us unhappy or guilt-ridden, and instead seek to maximize our own enjoyment. That, ap-parently, is the key to a good life.

Yet that does not sound terribly good to me. Sure, you can dress it up in pretty language and make it sound noble to be “true to oneself.” But that which is truly noble must also be truly selfless. And deep inside, we all know that. I want to live in a world where the noble and the heroic are still celebrated, and this week, for a time, they will be.

For greater love has no one than this: that he would lay down his life for his friends.

are a few other considerations. Look at all the plants on the bench. There should be a consistency in that all the stems are standing straight and not drooping and the soil should be evenly moist. It is not unusual to see one or two “fallsy-down-sies” but too many should give cause to worry about the care they have received at the store. Too much variation and you might consider heading off to a competi-tor. Or you can dicker for a discount.

Care for short-term plants: give it a moderate drink of water; put it wherever you think it looks best. On Tuesday, toss it in the compost; recycle the pot and plastic wrap.

Care for long-term plants: select the healthiest, strongest looking Hydee that satisfies your sense of beauty. When you get it home, remove the “hat” or decora-tive wrapping. Find an old saucer or other holder and set the naked pot on that. This way you can give your plant a proper wa-tering and the excess will have a chance to drain away. When the formal part of the event occurs, e.g. Easter Sunday Din-ner with the in-laws, put the hat back on. On Monday, doff the chapeau and bring out the old saucer again. Hydee likes bright light but not a lot of heat. Keep the soil moist using the first knuckle test to tell you when to water again. (Knuckle test: stick your finger into the soil to the depth of the first knuckle- doesn’t mat-ter which digit. If the soil is dry to that depth, it’s time to water.) Eventually the blooms will fade and you can cut them off just above the new emerging leaves. Don’t be surprised if some leaves begin to fall off as well. Remember these plants are “out of season” and are looking for a little bit of down time—a delayed fall, so to speak. When the outdoor soil is eas-ily worked, you can plant in the garden.

If there is a delay—like a stooopid winter not knowing when to go away—you can set Hydee in the garden shed, garage, enclosed porch until the time does arrive. You still must keep it moist. It is highly unlikely that you will get a bloom this upcoming summer.

A Sox note: (Experienced readers know that Sox is our ir-repressible and impossibly cute black lab cross.) Youngest daughter gave him a spring bath. The warm water of the show-er apparently triggered the shedding gene and he has blown his winter coat—all at once. But his fur was wet. Means the stuff stuck to walls, cupboard doors, trouser legs, low flying air-planes, etc. If anybody is looking for puppies, we have enough hair to knit a few for you.

When you buy Easter plants you are participating in the celebration of Easter. Gentle Reader, in that sense, our family wishes you and yours all the joy and blessings of the season. Hallelujah!

R0011992843


By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbellford - Donate $500 and receive a tax credit of $286. Now that’s news.

There’s a big change in the charitable tax credit rules which are “buried deep” in the 2013 federal budget which will benefit charitable organizations and taxpayers alike.

“If you are a first time donor, or haven’t made a chari-table deduction since 2007, then you will qualify for the new ‘Super Credit,’” said John Russell, executive director of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Upon learning about the new tax rule he thought this might be an opportune time to pass the information along.

“It’s not just for the hospital foundation; it’s all chari-table organizations,” he explained.

“It’s a good opportunity to encourage charitable giv-ing,” he added.

Of course, he would like to see first-time donors con-sider the hospital foundation when thinking of where to donate.

“From the hospital’s perspective we’re encouraged in any way that the levels of government make it more invit-ing to give a gift to a charity,” he told Trent Hills Regional News.

The new first-time donor’s “Super Credit” announced is designed to encourage first-time charitable donors through this enhanced tax incentive.

The new rules replaced the standard federal tax credit, which for a donation, is 15 per cent of the first $200 and 29 per cent for amounts above that level.

The “Super Credit”, which is available until 2017, would add an extra 25 per cent tax credit for cash donations up to a maximum of $1,000 and can be claimed once.

It adds 25 percentage points to the Charitable Tax Credit for donations made by individuals who have not claimed

(and whose spouse has not claimed) the Charitable Tax Credit since 2007.

Explained another way it adds to the 15 per cent tax credit on donations below $200 to make it a 40 per cent, and the 29 per cent tax credit on donations above $200 increase to 54 per cent.

“Like the saying, ‘a rising tide lifts all boats,’ it’s good for everyone. We’re all going to benefit,” said Russell.

He would like to see the hospital benefit from more do-nations.

Currently there are several fund-raising campaigns happening including the hospital auxiliary’s campaign to raise $58,000 for a central monitoring station upgrade and monitor and the Foundation’s campaign to raise $160,000 for new scopes.

“So far we’ve got $124,000 for the scopes, leaving $36,000 to be raised,” Russell noted.

“Donations are still coming in.”The big one is the $650,000 needed for a digital mam-

mography machine.“We’re getting there but we have a ways to go,” he said.“This new tax credit is encouraging young people who

have never donated before or people who haven’t made a habit of giving a charitable gift or haven’t made a gift for a few years to donate,” said Russell.

AtivaInteractive which develops financial planning software, web site content and financial calculators for fi-nancial advisors, institutions and more has a page on its web site devoted to the new tax credit.

The company’s infographics give examples of how much a donation would benefit the taxpayer and there is an interactive calculator that shows instantly the tax credit.

To check out the super credit calculator go to <www.ativa.com/first-time-donors-tax-credit/>.

New “Super Credit” a boon to taxpayers and charitable

organizations

By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - Local food was at the forefront of the first Bel-leville Beyond the City Lights Rural Tourism Conference on Wednesday, March 20, as culinary tourism and agritourism were discussed and ex-plored through keynote speakers and special break out sessions during the full-day event.

“It’s to get out as many local food producers, processors, entrepreneurs, business owners, and to learn how to source out local food and learn how to market better their local foods, wheth-er it’s participating in local farmers markets or partnering with others,” said Christina Edwards-Scott, Eco-nomic Development Co-ordinator for Quinte West.

Hosted by the cities of Belleville and Quinte West, well over 150 people crowded into Maranatha Church in

Belleville, some interested in keynote speakers, and some interested in simply networking.

Headlining the event was Jane Eck-ert, founder and CEO of Eckert Agri-Marketing, a full-service marketing and consulting firm that focuses on the agriculture and tourism industries to help explore the benefits of promoting the niche market of agritourism.

“When you look at our area, and you look at what some of the restaurants are doing, not only in Belleville … when you look at a good example like Bel-leville’s Burger Revolution who are getting all their product sourced locally, I think that only helps our economy,” Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis said. “Not only the farmers and all the producers and suppliers of local food, but it also gives them a better quality food and a fresher food.”

Other workshops throughout the day included creative and innovative ways to grow local businesses, how to take advantage of the slow food movement, unique and fresh market-ing opportunities, and how to create memorable experiences for the entire chain of producers all the way to con-sumers. The event also showcased a large number of agritourism organiza-tions, including the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

“[Agritourism] is something that’s just going to grow and grow, and I think when you look at how food is produced, if you can get a product that’s fresher, basically from the farm-ers or from the plant to your doorstep on the same day, it’s got to help not only health and wellness but also the economy,” Ellis said.

Promoting local agritourism

“It’s to get out as many local food

producers, processors, entrepreneurs, business

owners, and to learn how to source out local food and learn how to market better their local foods,

whether it’s participating in local farmers markets

or partnering with others.”

By Sue DickensEMC Entertainment - Campbell-ford - Westben’s “Key-Note” campaign is an opportunity for fans of the Arts Fes-tival Theatre to show their support for this not-for-profit organization and its latest acquisition, a 1973 Steinway Concert Grand Piano (Model D).

Used previously as one of several test pianos for pianists playing Carnegie Hall, the musical instrument is said to be the overwhelming choice of the world’s great-est pianists.

“To help cover the $65,000 cost of this magnificent instrument, we are inviting friends of Westben to make a special do-nation to the Key-Note Campaign. Key-Note donors who contribute $500 or more will get their name inscribed on the key of their choice on a commemorative piano poster,” explained Donna Bennett, West-ben co-founder and marketing director.

Talking with Trent Hills Regional News, Bennett noted that the Steinway is quite a find.

The Concert Grand apparently came

By Bill FreemanEMC Lifestyles - Norwood - Cindy Lauper had it about right when she sang “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and the 40th Northumberland Regiment International Order of the Daughters of the Empire (IODE) in Norwood are more than happy to oblige.

The 20-member organization, celebrating its 100th anni-versary this year, held its eighth fabulous Girl’s Night Out gala Friday with dinner and entertainment by popular singer James Kirkham who brought his tribute show back for a com-mand performance.

“It’s an exciting time for our organization,” IODE regent Lisa Cossar told the Northwest EMC as she greeted guests, some from as far away as Oshawa.

“We have 20 members or less and this is quite a production that we put on,” Cossar said.

Key-Note campaign celebrates latest acquisition

from the basement of Steinway pianos in New York.“We found out about the piano on Craig’s list, bought it from

a Russian Lady in Toronto but before we finalized the purchase, we phoned the New York Steinway store to check on the serial number of the piano,” Bennett said.

“This is a common practice as they give the history of when it was made and what type of piano it is and that’s when they told us it was one of the special pianos in the basement used by visiting professional pianists performing in the large halls in New York City.”

For Westben the piano will make all the difference in the world in terms of attracting internationally renowned artists to perform here.

“It’s a better quality piano and will satisfy our visiting artists more. In fact some artists wouldn’t come unless we had an inter-national quality piano to play,” said Bennett.

Made of mahogany with a cast iron frame the piano is the epitome of Steinway & Sons traditional values of craftsman-ship.

A Steinway grand piano takes nearly a year to create. The Steinway replaces Westben’s nine-foot Heintzman piano,

which has been a fixture at the festival Barn since the organiza-tion began in 2000.

“We had it refurbished and it has been sold to Norwood Unit-ed Church,” said Bennett.

To celebrate the arrival of the Steinway the Concert Grand Piano will be centre stage for two “spectacular” concerts fea-turing full symphony orchestra, chorus and piano music, during this, the 14th season for Westben.

Piano Concerts - The Regal is being held Saturday, June 29, at 2 p.m. with “music fit for royalty” as Westben’s co-founders

are joined by Canadian pianist emeritus Robert Silverman to offer a regal salute to “some of the most magnificent classi-cal music ever composed,” including the works of Mozart and Beethoven.

On Sunday, June 30, at 2 p.m. Westben presents Piano Concertos - The Romantic, a repertoire for piano and orchestra “with two young titans of the next generation of Canadian pianists,” Leonard Gilbert (winner of the 2010 Canadian Chopin Competition) and Lisa Tahara (Doctoral Candidate at U of T’s Faculty of Music) with the music of Chopin, Schumann and Rachmaninoff.

The piano is integral to this season’s many performances including one of Canada’s most revered pianists, Andre Laplante who will be appearing Saturday, July 20, at 2 p.m.

He will be sharing “his spectacular in-terpretation” of Franz Schubert’s Wander-er Fantasy, Op. 15 composed in 1822.

“The show is in celebration of the ac-tual 40th birthday of Westben’s Steinway concert grand piano,” said Bennett.

Girls Night Out has become a might-ily successful event for the IODE with tickets and reserved tables selling out quickly. It’s common to see tables re-served for entire families spanning gen-erations.

The event is many things, says Cos-sar. It’s a fund raiser, promotional ven-ture and social soiree.

The chapter is partnering with the

Norwood Lions Club to bring Juno awarding winning band Leahy to the Community Centre May 4 as part of its 100th anniversary celebrations.

“That’s huge, we have 1,000 tickets so it’s a big undertaking,” says Cossar. “We’re so happy that we have the Lions partnering with us.”

Cossar says people are surprised when they learn how active the small group is in the community.

“People are surprised when they find out the IODE does so much. I’m sur-prised when people ask what the IODE is. We’re in every school, we help with breakfast programs and the photos of the Queen have our name on it. Maybe we don’t do enough to promote ourselves

“As long as it involves children, war veterans and the disadvantaged, we’re there helping out.”

Recent local projects include working with the Royal Ca-nadian Legion and the municipality on the restoration of the 92-year-old Westwood Cenotaph; they also assisted in the re-furbishment of the Norwood Cenotaph which the group was instrumental in building following World War I.

“We still haven’t found a big project for our one-hundredth anniversary,” Cossar admits.

The national organization is just five years older than the Norwood chapter and Cossar is proud to be part of that rich history.

“It’s an amazing organization. A lot of the money stays lo-cal but we do have provincial and national commitments that are near and dear to our hearts,” says Cossar.

This is Cossar’s twenty-third year with the IODE, starting out in Pe-terborough as a member of the 57th Regiment Chapter which met at the armoury. Her husband, Ross, was an officer there and the wives of officers were invited to join the chapter which was on the verge of closing because of lack of membership.

“There was no looking back. I love it. I like hands-on, I love people and that’s part of it because most of our events are in the community.”“We’re so happy that we

have the Lions partnering with us.”

By Bill FreemanEMC Sports - Havelock - Hockey teams and leagues can be a little bit like a family.

That’s certainly true in Havelock where 35 adult-league players shinnied the day away during an end-of-season tourney that honours one of the town-ship’s toughest hockey hombres, Wil-liam Bruce Davis, better known as “The Fonz,” who left the world suddenly and far too early five years ago at the age of 54.

The William Bruce Davis “The Fonz” Memorial Trophy is a tribute his local hockey buddies have established to his lasting memory.

“He was one of those good guys who went too young,” says friend and hockey comrade Doug Hart who played Friday night hockey with the Fonz for 35 years.

Davis was part of the first Havelock team to win an Ontario Minor Hockey Association title bringing his fearless blue-line style to the 1973 juvenile team that knocked off Lucknow for the OMHA’s “D” title. The OMHA cham-pionship is one of six Havelock teams have won since 1952 when the Juveniles lost the “C” final to Georgetown.

Havelock’s last OMHA crown was in

2002 when the Midget Hawks beat Norwich for the “DD” crown.

“He was the glue of the first all-Ontario championship Havelock ever won,” said Hart. “He was a tough, hard-hitting defenseman. He was the glue of that team. That was back in the old arena when they were getting 1,400 people a game from all along Highway Seven.”

Davis was a friend of Hart’s family.“We really miss him. I fished and played hockey with

him.”

“All the guys really miss him and that’s why we got a tro-phy for him. He was a well-known guy. He was the first guy on the ice every Friday night.”

Hart says Davis died nine months short of retirement from Indusmin where he had worked for 35 years and was looking forward to watching his young grandson, four years old at the time of his death, learn to play hockey.

“He’d already bought kid sticks.”Davis “lived for hockey,” he said, and had at least 20 spare

hockey sticks in a back room of his house.“He was always ready.”“We’re not going to forget him. This is the fifth anniversa-

ry [of his death]. People like that they just slip by and people forget about them. Fonz was a real good guy.”

“All the guys really miss him and that’s why we got a trophy for him. He was a

well-known guy. He was the first guy on the ice every Friday night.”

By Bill FreemanEMC Sports - Norwood - The surprising season of the Nor-wood Midget AE Hornets came to an end in St. Mary’s Saturday afternoon with the hometown Rock squeezing out a 2 - 0 win to take OMHA Group 4/5 title and the Eric Wesslby Trophy.

St. Mary’s held a 2 - 0 series lead after 2 - 1 and 6 - 0 wins.

In game three St. Mary’s scored early in the fi rst period and held the narrow 1 - 0 lead until the fi nal seven minutes of the game when they scored the insurance marker.

“It was a very good game up there,” coach Greg Hartwick said. “They just seemed to keep enough pressure on us all the time that it did not allow us to really set up and create any-thing.”

The lack of fi nish on the pow-erplay worked against the team, especially in games one and three said Hartwick.

The opportunities were there, he said.

The 6 - 0 game two blow-out was one to forget but Hartwick said his team gave everything they had in game three.

“We’re proud of how they handled themselves,” he said.

“Lots of times losing is not easy but our guys competed to the buzzer. Personally, I thought the players improved a lot this season and the experience [in St. Mary’s] will only benefi t them as they play Juvenile or Midget next year as they’ll un-derstand what it means to give a bit more.”

Hartwick singled out goalie Travis Stark for his stellar play which improved as the season progressed.

“He always gave us an op-portunity to win,” he said. “He was a real team player and com-petitor and simply played excep-tional all year.”

Stark’s puck handling abili-ties, he noted, were so assured that at times it felt like they had a third defenseman on the ice.

Support from the parents for

the team and staff was “excel-lent from start to fi nish,” Hart-wick added.

The team was the tenth Nor-wood Midget squad to reach an OMHA fi nal but only the sec-ond AE team to advance to the championship. The last Midget AE team to appear in the fi nal was the 2010 squad which lost to Petrolia.

The AE’s were the 34th Nor-wood club to make it to the OMHA fi nal since 1958 when the Bantams took on Mildmay and lost. The hockey associa-tion’s fi rst OMHA triumph was the 1966 Juveniles who knocked off Mitchell in the “B” division fi nal.

The Norwood Midget A’s won three straight OMHA “DD” titles from 2008-2010. The fi rst Norwood Midget team to reach an OMHA fi nal was the 1960 club who took on Mildmay. The 1987 Midgets picked up Nor-wood’s fi rst OMHA title defeat-ing Creemore in a legendary six game series.

By Bill FreemanEMC Sports - Norwood - Ron Cooney’s rink scored an “eight-ender” to help clinch the thirtieth annual Maplefest Bonspiel in Norwood over the weekend. The team of lead Sandy Bruce, second Ron English and vice Sue Ireland racked up 56.5 points to top the 24 rink field.

Trevor Brewer’s rink of vice Sharon Scott, second Eddy Pitt and lead Donna Brewer came in second with a total score of 53.25 points.

Finishing in third was the Eric Mendum rink of vice Gloria Ward, second Earl Thomp-son and lead Sheryn Nelson.

Juvenile Colts edged by Predators in � nalBy Bill FreemanEMC Sports - Campbellford - The Campbellford River Inn Juvenile Colts hoped they could reverse last year’s fortunes and beat their nemesis, the Lambton Shores Predators, for the Ontario Minor Hockey Association’s “CC-C” Ken Russell Trophy.

But that dream was snuffed out for the 2013 Silver Stick champions in a heartbreaking 2 - 1 road loss to the Predators who swept the extremely competitive best of five series 3 - 0. Lambton Shores eked out 3 - 0 and 1 - 0 wins in their opening two games.

Colts goalie Luke Nobes was out-standing during game three but the Predators were stingy allowing only Dylan Ingram’s goal to mark the score sheet.

It was the ninth time a Campbellford juvenile team has gone to the OMHA finals since 1972 when they faced Ay-lmer in the “BB” final. Campbellford’s Juvenile teams have won OMHA titles four times since 1980 when they de-feated Aylmer.

They appeared in four straight finals from 1979 to 1982 pairing off with Aylmer and Mount Forest last winning the title in 1988 when they knocked off Port Dover for the “CC” crown.

Campbellford Minor Hockey has now made 37 trips to the OMHA final and has 21 titles to show for it. Their most recent championship was in 2011 when the mighty Atoms knocked off Harrow for the “CC” crown.

Campbellford out-duelled the Loy-alist Jets and the Newcastle Stars be-fore sweeping the Schomberg Red Wings in the OMHA semi-finals.

The Colts were presented with the finalists’ G.G. Gerry Casey Trophy for the second year in a row.

On the team were: Luke Nobes, Dallas Dingman, Jared Lowe, Kyle Newton, Jordan McEvoy, Randy Voskamp, Matthew Forestell, Dylan Ingram, Zach Patfield, Eric Hudson, Zach Martin, Kyle Newton, Davis Beamish, Cole Perry, Cameron Peters, Justin Chrysler and Jesse Miedema with head coach, Jesse Newton, as-sistant coaches Kevin Fillier, Joseph Lowe, trainer Scott Pomeroy, manager Tyler Allanson.

The team would like to thank the Campbellford River Inn, Campbellford Minor Hockey and the Campbell-ford Ladies Auxiliary for their assistance toward travel costs.

RURAL REPORT

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Havelock - The municipality will set up a meet-ing between the Havelock and District ATV Club, the county and township council to review the club’s 2013 request for the additional use of 8.385 kilometres of gravel shoulders on county roads to link with the existing trail system.

Club’s request needs “all the players” at the tableThe club also wants access to the town-

ship’s line transfer station to connect with County Road 48 so it can take the trail route off the Sixth Line of Belmont.

Recent changes to the county’s ATV bylaw now allow all-terrain vehicles

to use three kilometres of the gravel shoulder of county roads to link with trails, rather than the original one kilometre.

That means an “opportunity has arisen to make a new request for additional trail links on county roads within [the township],” club president Phil Higgins said.

HBM is the only township in the county that has endorsed a request from an ATV club to use county road sections. Under the county’s bylaw an ATV club must fi rst win permission from its municipal council before it is presented to the county for ap-proval or not.

Higgins says the sections of county roads they’re interested in are “essential in closing several gaps in our multi-use trail network.

“Closing these gaps will give us a loop linking with the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance trail head east of us at both the south and north end of the municipality,” he said.

“This has the potential to bring trail users into our community from as far south as Stirling, as far north as Bancroft and from all other points in be-tween.”

Linking the village business hub with the EOTA system has been a goal of the club which lobbied the county to extend the length “short sections” riders could use.

“We see a potential to take a trail route off the sixth line and connect to County Road 48 via the

waste transfer site,” says Higgins.The club envisages an exit from the transfer sta-

tion to within 2.9 kilometres or less of Havelock.The club would like to work with municipal

staff on that project.Township CAO Linda Reed was quick to point

out that the municipality would have to talk to the Ministry of the Environment about the request.

“I want to be very cautious on that one,” she said.

“The only way we can actually deal with this is to sit down like we did before with a map on the table to look at where these pieces of trails are,” said Deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe.

“It’s like a jigsaw puzzle; if all the pieces don’t come together it’s not going to work,” Mayor Ron Gerow added. “We need all the players at the table.”

The meeting must happen quickly, Sharpe said, because a 60-day review period began once the county’s ATV report was tabled.

“We need to send a letter to the county to tell them we’re working on this, to get it on the books,” he said.

The ATV club request includes gravel shoulder sections on County Roads 48 and 46.

They’re also asking for 2.7 kilometres of paved shoulders on County Road 48 from Preston Road and 1.1 kilometres on Ontario, Quebec and George Streets in Havelock. The county bylaw doesn’t permit use of paved shoulders.
