By Bill FreemanNews - Asphodel-Norwood - Township council agreed to phase in metered water and sewer services over a three-year period following a some-times fractious and emotional debate that left Mayor Doug Pearcy worrying about cha-os in the population with the implementation of a metered water rate formula.

Both Pearcy and Deputy Mayor Joseph Crowley voted against the phase-in a 75 per cent base rate and 25 per cent consumption rate in the rst year followed by a 50-50 split in the second year and a 25 per cent base rate and 75 volumetric rate in the third year.

However, they opposed the plan for different reasons. The mayor argued that stick-ing with a at rates might be the simple way around the

confusion he thinks will tran-spire.

Crowley wanted council to select one of the formulas prepared by staff and move on with the business of imple-menting consumption rates.

We decided a while back we wanted meters, well lets get on with it and make a decision on rates, Crowley said. Its an issue we have to nd within ourselves. I dont like the idea of at rates.

Staff worked diligently to bring this work forward, he said. I agree with what you (Pearcy) said but people are waiting for a decision as of January 1. Weve got a good plan.

Pearcy admitted he did not have the skill, training or knowledge to set water rates and would have liked to have had an industry professional

Hastings knitter receives prestigious Rotary award

By Bill FreemanNews - Hastings Surprised, delighted and hap-py, were the three words Sweetie Thall used when she described the night she was honoured by the Rotary Club of Peterborough-Kawartha but most of all the organizer of the Hastings Knitters wanted to stress that she was representing the genial group when she received the prestigious Paul Harris Fel-low award.

Absolutely, I felt that I represented the group, she said during their regular Thursday afternoon gathering at the Hastings Civic Centre. I couldnt do it without the help of the girls in the group. I was very surprised.

Thall was one of ve recipients from the region to receive the Paul Harris Fellow, an award named after the founder of Rotary, at the Peterborough-Kawartha clubs annual recognition dinner at the Peterborough Gold and Country Club.

It was very nice. I became a celebrity, she said with a smile.

A modest group, the Hastings Knit-ters have done amazing things over the years; Thall has been with them for the past seven years after moving to Hastings from the Ottawa area.

Theyre a wonderful group of girls and they do beautiful work. We have a little over 20 when we meet.

The Knitters supply a variety of knitted and crocheted items to groups around the region including the Rotary Club which ships their toques, mittens, blankets, scarves, baby clothes and other items across Canada and worldwide.

Locally, they provide items to the Al-derville Womens Shelter, the Alderville Health Unit, and Peterborough-Lake eld Police victims service, the Warkworth Nursing Home, Hastings Public School and the Hastings-Roseneath Foodbank.

2 The Trent Hills Independent - Thursday, December 5, 2013

By Bill FreemanNews - Asphodel-Norwood The Township of Asphodel-Norwood has of-ficially agreed to operate the proposed splash pad at the community centre and to donate the land for the project while also contributing to the site preparation through in-kind support.

Township council endorsed the plan during its last regular council meeting.

Council has already granted the project approval in principle; the initiative is be-ing spearheaded by the Norwood Lions Club which is leading fundraising efforts and will oversee construction of the esti-mated $300,000 facility.

Tenders for the splashpad are expected to be opened soon.

We wanted to make sure that coun-cil was aware of our commitment to the

project, township CAO Joe van Koev-erden said as he provided an overview of some of the capital and operating costs the municipality is to be involved in.

The municipality has agreed to pro-vide a two inch waterline to the site at a cost of $2,600. The line will run 800 meters from the fairgrounds.

It has also agreed to cover a portion ($7,400) of the cost of running hydro

to the site. An earlier $10,000 estimate of the total cost of running hydro to the splash pad has escalated to $20,000, van Koeverden said.

That increase has forced the mu-nicipality to reduce its commitment to $7,400, he said.

Municipal staff will also provide $7,000 worth of site preparation with additional resources made available to

Township agrees to operate splash pad

By Bill FreemanNews - Asphodel-Norwood - There is no reason to be alone on Christmas.

Through the collective generosity of the townships churches and a team of big-hearted volunteers, such as Cal Clarke of Norwood Pentecostal Church, there will once again be a free community Christmas

dinner at the town hall.The need is great (as) reflected by our

numbers, says Clarke.The municipality has donated the space

to organizers who welcome everyone to an afternoon of good food and festive cheer. The Christmas dinners have been going on for over ten years.

Last years dinner lifted the spirits of 75 people who came together at the town hall for the free Christmas meal with all the toppings, an event that underscores the true meaning of the occasion.

Donations from a variety of individuals, businesses and organizations made the din-ner possible.

Organizers were also able to deliver a number of meals to people who were un-able to make the trip to the town hall.

If you are interested in helping out or would like more information about the din-ner, call Cal at 705-639-5319. Arrangements can be made for those who are not able to travel to the town hall for the dinner.

A free Christmas dinner for all

offset site preparation and other costs during construction.

The land the municipality has do-nated for the facility is valued at around $25,000, van Koeverden said.

The annual operating costs are esti-mated to be between $5,000 and $10,000 a year, he added.

Splashpad committee member Ron Scott told council that they were not looking for a financial donation from the municipality for the project.

Were asking the municipality if it could possibly supply machinery and staff time to get the site ready, he said. The donation of land and the municipal-itys assumption of ownership and oper-ating responsibility after it the splash pad is built were the two other key items, said Scott.

Its good to have this step complet-ed, Scott said afterwards.

Chaos loomsContinued from page 1speak to council again about the situation.

It might have been a good step, he said. Now were looking at a proposal that scares me a little bit. I see a huge amount of work for staff on this over the next three or four years sorting it all out. I see chaos in the population; the phones will never quit ringing; people wont un-derstand whats going on.

A homegrown solution that will cause this much chaos I do not support, said Pearcy, a strong initial advocate of meters. If youre totally opposed to the imple-mentation of meters then I would suggest this council leave well enough alone and stay on flat rates.

I think its wrong to expose our resi-dents to these changes all the time. I will not support this proposal. I will support staying on a flat rate.

Treasurer Melanie Stubbs stressed that rates in the report she provided to council were in draft form and not yet finalized. The calculations supporting the various fixed and variable ratios were based on months of data collection and analysis by staff.

Rates would be finalized only after a public meeting in January, said Stubbs.

A 75-25 (base/variable) formula will have the lowest impact on high users and while it produces a stable income for Asphodel-Norwood it offers the least in-centive to conserve, which is the rationale behind metering consumption.

The 50-50 split is considered the most balanced approach to increases in charg-es and reducing demand through conser-vation. The 25-75 split encourages council

the most through higher con-sumption charges.

Councillors Mary Hay and Roy Millett tabled the phase-in motion which was also endorsed by Councillor Rick Kloosterman.

Were really telling peo-

ple right up front this is the plan, to give them time to adjust, said Hay. People who have concerns about how their rates are going to change can pay attention now to how much water they use.

Sweetie surprised and delighted

Wherever were needed thats where we try to help out, Thall says. We meet all year round and we just keep knitting because were always looking for dona-tions of wool and its from this wool that were able to make these things. We make all kinds of things because we service families.

The Hastings Knitters, which include visitors from Campbellfords Happy Knitters Group, is like an extended family, Thall says.

When I moved here I didnt know a soul. By joining the group and leading the group

Ive made a lot of friends.Thall has been a knitter

since childhood and is im-pressed by the talents of her fellow knitters who share ideas and talents and make sure the group is very so-cial.

Were always trying to set up new patterns, she said.

Its nice to meet all these different women. Im very happy.

Anyone interested in making a wool donation can do so by contacting the Hastings Community Care office at 705-696-3891.

Medical officer receives awardBy Bill FreemanNews - Peterborough County - City medical officer of health Dr. Rosana Pellizzari has been presented with the award of excellence by the Ontario College of Family Physicians (OFCP).

Dr. Pellizzari received the award because of her outstanding service to the OCFP as a member of its board of directors. Every year approximately 17 awards are presented during the Colleges annual Scientific Assembly. The recipients are nominated by their peers in recognition of contributions to their patients, communities and to family medicine.

We are extremely proud of Dr. Pellizzaris accomplishments and are thrilled to see this recognition from her medical peers, County-City Board of Health Chair David Watton said. Her talents have not only made a difference to public health locally

but at the provincial level as well through her leader-ship with the OCPF.

Dr. Pellizzari has been a valuable member of the OCPF board for three years.

The board represents 12,000 family physicians in Ontario working in a vari-ety of settings and with dif-ferent challenges and areas of focus, says board chair Dr. Jonathan Kerr.

To best serve our mem-bership, the OCFP board needs a diversity of experi-ences and perspectives, Dr. Kerr says. Dr. Pellizzari brought with her a popula-tion health and public lens which added an important dimension to our discus-sions.

In addition to her role

on the OCFP board, Dr. Pellizzari was a member of the Poverty Committee working on issues of equity and social determinants of health since 2010 and also served on the Environmen-tal Health Committee and Planning and Policy Devel-opment Committee.

Dr. Pellizzari continues to serve as a practicing phy-sician in the County-City Health Units sexual health clinic as well as leading the organization as its medical officer of health.

The PCFP is the voice of family medicine in On-tario and represents more than 12,000 family physi-cians providing patient care in remote, rural, suburban and urban communities.

little lady. Slippers is very playful and loves human company. Slippers likes other cats and would be easily introduced to a dog and children. This little boy is available through the Cat Care Spay Neuter Initiative (CCSNI).

Dear Editor,RE: County stomping on democ-

racy keeping amalgamation on table: warden

I am a taxpayer in Trent Hills and I would like to provide a more real-istic approach to the report that the Northumberland County CAOs have been requested to provide. The report

Dear Editor,Who is thinking of our se-

niors?I have just learned that if a

bridge is built at Second/Alma, that 6,000-7,500 vehicles will go through the intersection at Second and Front St. daily (I had no idea we have that much traf c in Campbellford).

I am concerned about the air

and noise pollution from all this traf c as cars, trucks and big semi-trucks gear up and down to go up and down Second St. and up and down the proposed bridge itself. The bridge will have a steep incline on the east side of the river as it must y over the river and land much lower than the river wall to join Second St. at Front St. The noise of truck

gears coming to a stop at the in-tersections will be annoying, to say the least.

But an even bigger concern for me is the 35 units of low rental housing for seniors just behind me and close to the intersection. Adjacent to the seniors residences, there are 24 more low rental apartments for mixed use, including some

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A new bridge will not be bene cial to seniors

Why is the warden so opposed?is to look at all avenues of tax savings through various scenarios, including forming a single tier government.

The report is not intended to form policy, but to pro-vide information.

That information can then be discussed by the councils of Northumberland, who then can consult their con-stituents, and decide if they wish to implement any of the suggestions.

That is Democracy!I am very con dent that

the CAOs of Northumber-land County are a very pro-

fessional group of people who will work to provide an honest, non-political report that will provide every tax-payer in Northumberland County with valuable in-formation for them to con-sider.

I dont understand why the warden would be so strongly opposed to such a report.

I wish to praise Mr. Love-shin, who brought this for-ward initially.

Jim Harris,

Campbellford

folks with physical challenges.I visit with seniors regularly

at their homes because I love seniors. I am worried that they will have dif culty crossing the intersections as they are slow and often use walkers. I am also concerned that they may chose not to walk as much if there is a lot of traf c and noise, which we all know will speed up the aging process.

I look down the street to the

Garshel Apartments and wonder how people will be able to live in them if there is a huge bridge ying over top of their building; the noise and air pollution will turn them into rundown apart-ments like those at the current bridge which were impacted so long ago. Who will want to live there? I hear that the apart-ments by the bridge are not nice and even in disrepair. This summer, the roof ew off one

of the buildings!Why are considering a bridge

at this location when so many residents, especially seniors, will be impacted? Id rather see a bridge expansion that would remove the already unsightly apartments on the north side of the current bridge.

Judi Smith, Campbellford

By Bill FreemanNews - Asphodel-Norwood Deputy-mayor Joe Crowley remains opposed to a plan by Peterborough Utilities In-corporated (PUI) to put rooftop solar systems on the community centre and public works building.

Nevertheless, council approved the PUIs request to take the next step in the process of securing a Feed-in Tariff 3.0 contract from the Ontario Power Au-thority, endorsing a municipal support resolution for the projects but theyre still in a position to say no.

The projects would generate a total of 350 kilowatts of energy and produce $227,000 in revenues for the munici-pality over 20 years, a signi cant chunk of that coming from 1,288 solar panels on the 29,500 square foot community centre. The public works building will

produce 100 kilowatts annually.An initial FIT 2.0 contract applica-

tion was rejected so PUI has sought approval from Asphodel-Norwood to apply again.

Weve prepared everything to move these projects forward, said Mike Owen, director of procurement and risk management for PUI. The OPAs appli-cation window closes December 13.

A municipal support resolution and an option to lease is required to move forward.

Owen says revenue over the 20 year period will be less than when the pro-posal was rst tabled because FIT rates have dropped from 44 cents to 33 cents; that decrease means the municipality would earn $8,000 annually from the community centre rather than $11,000.

The installation and operation

comes at no cost to Asphodel-Nor-wood with the PUI prepared to invest $1,453,830.

Council has expressed concerns about liability and insurance coverage and the safety of buildings with solar rooftop systems and wanted assurances that PUI would cover the cost of any loss if there was a re caused by roof-top panels.

Owen says it will and expressed con- dence in its safety.

Any additional liability created based on having that solar (system) on the building, we will be paying the ad-ditional premium. There will be no ad-ditional cost to the township, he said.

Deputy-mayor Crowley is not con-vinced solar systems on those buildings is good for the municipality despite the revenue.

I am absolutely not in favour of this project. I am not prepared to accept it, said Crowley, arguing that having a third party install the panels adds risk to the project. I am prepared to support other solar projects in the municipal-ity but leave the roof(s) alone. I dont want any third party interfering with the roof at the community centre or public works (building).

I know youre upset and I appreci-ate the work that youve done. What other communities do is their business, he said.

The PUI has $500 invested in the application and between $5,000 and $10,000 in their investigation of the roof, said Owen.

Crowley wondered what would hap-pen if the third party goes out of busi-ness and theres a problem with the roof

party contractors and the systems op-eration.

It is our obligation that we dont damage the roof over the 20 year pe-riod. We will make sure the roof is as good 20 years from now as it is today. That is our obligation.

He assured council that if the roof needs repairs, the panels will be re-moved at PUIs expense. Owen wants to set up a follow-up meeting with the municipality to understand clearly what are the issues that need to be in-vestigated.

I am not here to force this down councils throat. I hope we can work through these items so everybodys comfortable.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Gwynne Dyer

Dear Editor,We would like to offer a clarification to the claims made

about Keystone XL by Mr. Whittaker in a letter published in the Brighton Independent on Thursday, November 28, 2013.

TransCanada holds hundreds of public consultation meet-ings in communities all over North America each year. There are no restrictions on public access. Our public consultation meetings are designed so the people in these communities can come, discuss their concerns, ask any question they like and learn about our projects and our company. For more than 60 years TransCanada has built relationships with over 60,000 landowners and we believe in being a good neighbour.

With respect to the comments made about the construc-tion of the Gulf Coast Pipeline (GCP); this project is the safest pipeline ever constructed in the United States, period. TransCanada agreed to 57 construction and operating con-ditions proposed by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) that no other pipeline has ever faced. Condition 49 states that the Gulf Coast Project is obligated to inspect the pipeline and address anomalies that previous pipelines only had to report, but not necessarily act upon. By adhering to those conditions TransCanada and the industry begin a new era of pipeline safety.

The GCP is 486.09 miles in length or 2,566,555.2 feet. With construction almost completed, our extensive testing and inspection looks at every piece of the pipeline, every weld and the facilities that support it. The pipe is hydrostati-cally tested, which involves filling the pipeline with water

and pressurizing it to a level far greater than it experiences during normal operation, in the pipe mill and then again in the field after it is welded together. As a result of our inspec-tions, we have replaced 3/100th of one percent (about 700 feet of pipe) of the total amount of pipe for this project as a result of construction impacts. The fact that we have con-ducted investigative digs after our inspections that revealed dents which occurred during construction, is a sign that our inspection programs work.

Additionally, the Keystone Pipeline has never once leaked. The incidents Mr. Whittaker referenced all occurred at above-ground pump stations due to leakage from small-diameter fit-tings (typically about the size of a garden hose) and pump seals that have been repaired or replaced. They have all been cleaned up with no environmental impact and there have been no issues with the integrity of the buried pipe itself. Since 2010, the Keystone Pipeline has safely shipped more than 500 million barrels of oil to refineries in the Midwest.

The facts are very clear: pipelines are the safest and more environmentally responsible method of transporting oil and natural gas over long distances. They help keep energy prices down, create thousands of jobs and will enhance North Amer-ican energy security.

We hope Mr. Whittaker can make it out to one of our open houses next year or take the time to visit our project websites to learn more.

Pipelines are safe for oil and natural gas

Ukraine and the European UnionEditorial - Ukraines President Viktor Yanukovych had much explaining to do at the summit meeting of the European Union in Vilnius, Lithuania last Thurs-day. After six years of negotiation on an EU-Ukraine trade pact and political as-sociation agreement which was finally due to be signed at Vilnius, he had to explain why he wasnt going to sign it after all.

The economic situation in Ukraine is very hard, and we have big difficulties

with Moscow, says Yanukovych in a private conversation with Germanys Chancellor Angela Merkel that was broad-cast by Lithuanian television. I would like you to hear me. I was alone for three and a half years (since his election in 2010) in very unequal conditions with Russia...one to one.

So Ukraine is putting the deal on hold indefinitely and the EU promptly accused Yanukovych of being gutless. If you blink in front of Russia, you always end up in trouble, said the EUs Commissioner for Enlargement, Stefan Fule. Yanukovych blinked too soon. At least 10,000 outraged Ukrainians who had reached the same conclusion came out on the streets of Kiev in protest on the following day.

It was starting to look like a rerun of the Orange Revolu-tion that had forced Yanukovych out of power after he won a fraudulent election in 2004, so early Saturday morning the riot police attacked the protesters and drove them from the square. But on Sunday the demonstrators were back on In-dependence Square 100,000 strong, and Yanukovych had to issue a public apology for the attack.

Weve been here before, havent we? The big Russian bully threatens some ex-Soviet country that is now looking west, and the craven local ruler gives in. Pro-democracy dem-onstrators come out in the streets, and peace, justice and pro-Western policies triumph. Except this time, its not like that.

The big Russian bully bit is still true. Moscow has already seen three of its former possessions in Europe Lithuania,

Latvia and Estonia join the European Union. It sees the fu-ture of the remaining six Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Geor-gia, Armenia and Azerbaijan as a zero-sum game between Russia and the EU, and it plays hard ball.

Russia has been turning the screws on Ukraine hard, be-cause with 45 million people and a serious industrial base it is the most important of the ex-Soviet states. Ukraines trade in 2012 was almost equally split between Russia and the EU, but over the past year Russian-Ukrainian trade has fallen by a quarter.

Thats a huge blow to our economy and we cant ignore it, Ukraines energy minister, Eduard Stavitsky, told the BBC. Stavitsky had asked repeatedly about getting compen-sation from the EU for the trade with Russia that Ukraine was losing as a punishment for its dalliance with the West but all we got were declarations that Ukraine would profit from a deal with the EU in the medium to long term.

Unfortunately, politicians have to live in the short term, and Yanukovychs problem (and Ukraines) is that the country is divided down the middle. His supporters are mostly Russian-speakers who live in the heavily industrialised eastern half of the country and those are the people who will really suffer if Russia cuts off its trade with Ukraine.

Yanukovych would not have spent three and a half years negotiating a deal with the EU if he had no intention of ever going through with it. Why bother? He was trying to cut a deal that would satisfy the aspirations of pro-EU voters, espe-cially in the nationalist, Ukrainian-speaking west of the coun-try, without destroying the livelihood of his own supporters in the east. Either the EU didnt understand his dilemma, or it didnt care. It demanded that he choose between east and west, and made no offer to compensate Ukraine for its big short-term losses if it signed a deal with the EU. So Yanukovych has put the whole thing on indefinite hold, but that doesnt mean hell throw in his lot with the Eurasian Union instead. If he can ride out the demos that are currently rocking Kiev, then in the longer term he will probably make a cautious return to talks with the EU.

By John CampbellEditorial - When Santa sent an email asking me to call him right away, a lot of thoughts went racing through my mind: Was it about the wafers and prune juice I left out last Christmas? Was he looking for clarification about that dip-lomatic incident in July? Or the toxic waste spill at the family barbecue? Was it the art forgery that started out as a practical joke?

Ive never understood this naughty or nice business. Why is it either/or? Thats a pretty high bar Santas set. Why cant it be something more realistic, nice but occasionally naughty? Within certain limits, of course.

Nicks the saint, after all, not us.I steeled myself to make the call, and it turns out Santa was giving me a

scoop: He was relocating!Whaaaat? I asked, as any good journalist would who already knew the

whoooo and was about to get to the whennnn, wherrrre and whyyyy. You heard me, Im relocating.I skipped the when and where and went straight to the why.Why?Got to. My not-for-profit business is sinking and I need to do whatever I

can to stay afloat.Great, I thought, another high profile operation looking to save its hide by

moving production overseas. To China, no doubt.No, no, no, youve got it all wrong, Santa said, as if reading my mind, or

I had wondered out loud. I went with the latter.Climate change. The ice cap is melting. Real estate values are plunging.

Literally. If I stay here much longer, Ill be bobbing on the ocean clinging to the North Pole.

This is terrible. I cant believe its got so bad.Believe it! Dont you read the news?I write it, dont read it. Other than the Rob Ford stuff. Whats up?I didnt need to be there to know Santa was shaking his head, probably won-

dering why he had chosen me to break the news about his picking up stakes. I think it was because he remembered when I was a kid and took a picture of him putting presents under the tree and never sent the photo to the paper.

I guess now he was paying me back after all these years for having been so considerate (and forgetting to put film in the camera).

Okay, Ill give you the short version, courtesy of Reuters: Ice on the Arc-tic Ocean shrank last year to its lowest levels since satellite observations began in the 1970s, and many experts expect that by mid-century it will vanish in summers due to climate change. I cant call home a place that disappears four months a year. I need a permanent address like the one Ive had for centuries. It really helps with mail delivery. But I cant wait to the last minute to do some-thing. Ive got to move with the times, so to speak. Go with the floe.

Go with the flow?Yeah, floe. As in ice. Ive told the elves this is the last Christmas kids will

be able to send their letters to Santa Claus, North Pole H0H 0H0. Were head-ing for a new home after that, on an iceberg well make with a few strategic blastings. Wont have to worry about the logistics of relocating the workshop by ship or plane.

Where will you go?The South Pole, naturally. Hear its still pretty cold down there. And there

are no polar bears to worry about. Even if the ice at Antarctica melts, at least theres land underneath. So we should be okay, for awhile. Its the rest of the world Im worried about.

The interview continued for another few minutes and then we chatted some more apparently he DOESNT like jalapeno in his egg nog before we said our good-byes.

He did pass on one other important piece of information for my story, what every kid will find in their stocking Christmas morning: receipt of a donation made in their name to the David Suzuki Foundation.

Geez, I said. What will their parents think who dont believe the climate is changing because of human activity?

Hey, what do I care, they dont believe in me either.Santa had a point. As did an editorialist more than an hundred years ago

who wrote you cant argue with people affected by the skepticism of a skepti-cal age ... They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds.

I wonder what hed say to the skeptics today.Probably what hed say to everyone else: Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good

life.

Santas sad tale shows people are poles apart

By John CampbellNews - Campbellford - Staff and students at Campbellford District High School spent eight hours in the cold last

Thursday night to draw atten-tion to the plight of the home-less and people living below the poverty line.

The Cold Hands, Warm

High school students come through for Salvation Army, food bank

Hearts project, the first big event or-ganized by the newly formed student group, CDHS Social Justice League, also raised $2,745 and collected a mountain of winter clothing for the Salvation Army. In addition, more than 1,000 food items for the Campbellford and Warkworth Fare Share Food Bank were collected.

The kids were awesome, said Trish Wood, the high school guidance facili-tator who helped get the Social Justice League started, after she and 10 students attended a workshop on poverty orga-nized by the district health unit. They came away asking themselves what could they do to make a difference in our community and the kids have done that, she said.

About three dozen students and high school staff set up a modest shelter at the parkette at the corner of Bridge and Front streets November 28 and waved to motorists to honk their horns to show support and to encourage donations.

Poverty is a massive problem in society but in a rural community such as Campbellford, its an issue thats quite silent ... so were trying to bring it to light, Nicholas Pettey said.

Social justice is such a huge thing, Faith Begbie said. You need to be in-volved in your community, not only when youre a teenager but when youre an adult, too ... It makes me feel like a better person when I go out and help people.

Spending so long in the cold was definitely an awakening as to how it feels to be homeless, Esther McMillan said. I can never truly imagine what it would be like but it definitely did help me to understand how it is they have to deal with something like that.

The students got used to cold after a

few hours but at the very begin-ning it was pretty bad, Macken-zie Dunham said.

It really did feel like we were homeless, he said, but the feel-ing dissipated as the evening wore on, he admitted, because we had a lot to eat including sandwiches, cookies, and pizza provided by generous local mer-chants. Businesses in the down-town area also allowed them to use their washrooms.

Still, the experience made him realize he and the other stu-dents have got it pretty good ... compared to what other people have. Those living in poverty must decide whether to spend what little money they have on food or heat.

A lot of people, they do have nights where they go without food because they cant afford (it), he said.

Dunham said it took eight

people 10 minutes to unload a van filled with bags of clothing at the Salvation Army thrift store the next day.

They were really grateful for all the clothing we had brought in, he said. They were really surprised, nobody was expecting to have as much as we did.

The volunteers at the food bank were also quite happy, after receiving boxes and boxes of food.

Campbellford District High School students Wade Morrow, Faith Begbie, Nicholas Pettey and Eva Osterlee took part in last weeks Cold Hands, Warm Hearts project, to raise awareness of poverty and homelessness, and to generate donations for the Salvation Army and local food bank. Students participating in the event were asked to contribute a minimum of $20 or 20 canned food goods or items of clothing. Photo: John Campbell

A sidewalk machine clearing snow in Campbellford slipped off the sidewalk onto its side at 69 Ranney St. Wednesday after-noon, November 27. Roads manager Neil Allanson said the operator, Scott Mahoney, appeared unhurt but was taken to the hospital as a precaution to be examined. He said the sidewalk, which has a sharp drop-off along that stretch of Ranney, was slippery. Trent Hills firefighters and OPP officers were summoned to the scene shortly before 2 p.m. Photo: John Campbell

By Bill FreemanNews - Westwood A rst phase of rehabilitative tree planting has begun in Westwood thanks to a grant from the TD Friends of the Environ-ment program that a group of local residents successfully completed.

As well, the municipality is set to improve drainage around the West-wood Library, Cenotaph and park and address accessibility issues and renovate the front entrance to the historic library building. That work will be done as early as pos-sible in 2014, Asphodel-Norwood Mayor Doug Pearcy says.

Mayor Pearcy and Councillor Mary Hay met recently with the Westwood Enhancement Commit-

tee to discuss issues of concern.Once these two projects are

complete we will meet at the site to discuss plantings and improve-ments to enhance the area around the library and park, says Pearcy.

Hay said the renovations and ongoing tree planting will be a big addition to the picture there and looks forward to its progress.

The rst phase of the tree plant-ing done this past fall involved the planting of 13 Calliper trees along the Centre Line, says Westwood resident and Enhancement Com-mittee member Terry Helmer. As weather permitted, the group hoped to plant an additional 14 trees along Thomas Street.

The tree-planting initiative, says Helmer, was agreed upon in the spring by Hydro One, township council and Westwood residents which made it possible for the En-hancement Committee to apply for funding so they were in a position to plant trees during the fall season.

The overall project will involve planting 74 Calliper trees, a native species which grow to maturity over a 60 to 100 year period, Hel-mer says.

The group also plans to plant lower growing ower species under Hydro lines that will both comply with height restrictions and also attract late spring and summer pollinating insects.

Many of the pollinating insects are under threat, Helmer notes.

Helmer says the initiative has been undertaken by a group of Westwood residents with particular concern for rehabilitative planting of trees in our town and the winder educative and environmental aspect that this project implies.

The area immediately around Westwood, he says, has been used by researchers from Trent Uni-versity, the University of Toronto and the Ministry of Environment studying the biodiversity of male forest woodlots.

One study, he said, running from downtown Toronto through Peter-borough to Renfrew studied the

Westwood tree plantings, park and library work will improve hamletdiversity of spring ora and the richness of the lichens on the tree trunks of Sugar Maples compared to the level of pollution at these sites.

The Westwood area was amongst the richest in its natural biodiversity with up to 42 species of lichens on the tree trunks of mature Sugar Maples compared to zero li-chen in the Toronto sites and six in Pickering.

The group plans to set up a community tree monitor-ing program for children and adults from the area at the

Westwood Library as well as schools in Norwood.

Summer and winter tree lichen walks to monitor the colonization of lichen flora will be given by Tom Hutchinson, professor of environmental studies at Trent University and a member of the Westwood Enhancement Committee, says Helmer.

We hope to transform in ten to 15 years the land-scape and make Westwood a more ecologically friendly village.

By John CampbellNews - Northumberland - Northum-berland County gave a cool reception to a proposed three-year service and nancial plan for the Special Needs Re-sourcing program provided by the Nor-thumberland Child Development Centre (NCDC).

Council authorized staff to come up with a competitive proposal from an-other agency for review to ensure due diligence.

The vote was taken without discus-sion after county council met in closed session Nov. 20.

The resolution noted the plan submit-ted by NCDC, which was to re ect a six

per cent reduction in provincial funding Northumberland receives for its child care budget, failed to address the re-quired key components in suf cient de-tail. The plan also did not incorporate all of the recommendations made by a consultant who assisted the centre in de-veloping it.

The resolution also noted there are concerns regarding the value for mon-ey and sustainability of the program.

Mark Darroch, director of community and social services, said later his depart-ment had asked NCDC for a variety of reports and submissions, including nancial reports and a business plan showing how it planned to adapt to the

Northumberland County looks for alternative to provide services for special needs children

$260,000 cut in the countys child care budget.

Staff were not prepared to support the plan it received from the centre, Darroch said, citing a number of concerns with regards to the nancial budgets, the reporting (and) service deliverables.

So staff got permission to look for a comparable, and will make a full report to council in January, he said.

We have not made any decision yet.

Northumberland Child De-velopment Centres executive director Clare Paterson could not be reached for comment.

NCDC provides at no charge programs and services for children and youth who require additional support to help them and their fami-lies realize their full poten-tial. They include programs for behaviour management, speech and language, as well as physical, occupational, play and sensory integration therapies.

Family support programs include Milk for Moms and Simply Supper, along with a variety of parenting work-shops.

Councils motion didnt identify who was the agency being approached for a sub-mission but the county issued a news release Nov. 28 saying it would be reviewing propos-als from both the Five Coun-ties Childrens Centre in Peter-borough and NCDC to deliver the Special Needs Resourcing program for the area.

Each proposal will be carefully evaluated to deter-mine the agency that can best serve the needs of Northum-berland residents, the county said.

We are always examin-ing how we can best serve the community, and looking at opportunities to strength-en how we address ministry guidelines for distribution of public funds, Darroch stat-ed, and, most importantly, (meet) the needs of the chil-dren and families who require these services.

Darroch said the county has been working diligently with all parties throughout this process, and will continue to do so to ensure no disrup-tions to the children and their families.

In a separate media release, Five Counties Childrens Centre said it has operated therapy centres in Campbell-ford for 18 years and in Co-bourg for 15 years.

NeedHelp?

By John CampbellLifestyles - Campbellford - Weve got to become more active, says Vic Conte, a retired 71-year-old phys. ed. teacher who despises seeing the educa-tion system doing much less than in his day to keep students fit.

The need is even greater now that theres too much technology in their lives.

Theres too many young people who come home from school, and theyre on the computer or playing games, instead of being outdoors being physically ac-

tive in various forms of recreation, he said.

I will live longer than (todays) chil-dren because of (their) lack of activity.

The long-time member of the Campbellford and District Curling and Racquet Club has kept fit all his life. His good health served him well when he had an electrical issue with his heart that caused his pulse rate to drop, requiring him to have a pace-maker installed.

Hes also had his right hip replaced. Contes specialist told him he was the

first person to ask when he could get back to the gym. He spends a couple of hours each time he goes six days a week, making use of nearly every piece of equipment in the fitness room.

You just have to commit yourself to go and do it, Conte said. You do your thing, theres no pressure on you at all to work out. Its a commitment to your own health.

About half of the clubs approxi-mately 375 members are there to play racquet sports or use its gym equip-ment.

Couch potatoes dont have to go far to get into shapeBy John CampbellLifestyles - Campbellford - Being a couch potato seems harmless enough but it can get you in trouble.

Research shows that inactive Cana-dians face an increased risk of obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes and other diseases, says the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.

National guidelines recommend adults should be involved in moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity for at least 150 minutes in total a week, but more than 80 per cent of men and women are physically inactive, says the foundation.

Physical activity is a lifesaver. It cuts the risk of heart of disease almost in half.

It also reduces the risk of cancer, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis (and) helps fight depression, reduces stress levels and increases your energy.

One more thing; it helps people avoid bad lifestyle choices such as smoking, drinking or eating too much.

So where to get started on the road to fitness, and to help you stay on track? Look no further than the Campbellford and District Curling and Racquet Club. The registered charitable organization provides facilities for curling, squash and fitness at its Meyers Sports Centre for a membership fee of under $400.

Bethany Robertson-Milko joined the club a year ago, to get in better shape and be healthy for her two children. She has lost 12 pounds and feels re-ally good, healthier, more energetic and takes pride in showing her son and daughter that its good to be healthy and stay active, and not sit around on

the couch all day. Retirees Pat Sheridan and Bill Hogle

work out mornings, following a regime they have had for years. Having the con-venience of a facility of such quality in town, with the same equipment found in a big gym means a lot, Sheridan said.

Being able to curl as well is a real bargain, Hogle added.

Dave Larcombe, 64, became a mem-ber after being told last winter by a vascular surgeon he would need an operation to deal with poor circulation in his right foot, where gangrene had developed in a toe. A heavy two-pack-a-day smoker for 45 years, he quit the same day and later started working out at the club, riding the bike and using the weight room to get the blood going in his lower body with leg pushes.

Its been working good, Larcombe said. I got pink toes.

His doctor was impressed when Lar-combe saw him in September, telling him surgery wouldnt be needed.

Jim Havimaki, 82, and his wife Glo-ria, 78, have been members for more than a decade. Theyre at the club every other day, to hit the squash ball around for a half hour and then head to the weight room.

When you get older you need to do something, otherwise you vegetate ... which is what happens with a lot of people, Jim Havimaki said.

Alison Gratton, mother of two, works out three times a week on weights and cardio. She does a lot of long distance running and competes in endurance rac-ing with an Arabian mare she has.

She has lost 45 pounds since joining the gym three years ago, and her run-

ning times have gotten faster as a result.

This place has been fan-tastic for weight training, Gratton said, and theres a great group of people here.

Her improved fitness has also helped her as a paramed-ic in Peterborough County, lifting heavy patients. Im much stronger than Ive ever

been.Nancy West is another club

member and mother of two who works out regularly, five mornings a week. She also curls and plays squash. She feels much more energized being so active and notes the difference when she cant make it to club to exercise.

Nancy West, who has her own house cleaning business, makes full use of the fitness, curling and racquet programs to stay fit and keep her weight down. Shes much more energized and feels a lot better as a result. Photo: John Campbell

By Bill FreemanNews - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen can count its blessings in volunteers and residents who help to make the community a better place to live in.

How very fortunate we are to have all of the talent we have in our community, Mayor Ron Gerow said while celebrating some of the townships resi-dents at the municipalitys an-nual community recognition awards.

For a second year, the recog-nition night was held as a show-case event with councillors and Gerow and Deputy Mayor Andy Sharpe presenting a total of eight recognition awards.

Council and the township were able to shine the limelight on the recipients and highlight the contributions theyve made to the community.

This is a special event and it is great to see a turnout like this, Gerow said of the big audience at the Havelock Lions Community Hall.

Receiving awards were re-tired school principal Les Mor-ris, Lorne Benjamin, a 12-year member of the 1st Havelock Scouts; the North of 7 Artisans; Jen Van Allen and Leslie Emery, volunteers with figure skating, minor hockey and Havelock Belmont Public School; Chris Smith and Tim Hortons; the community building Havelock Lions Club; Kelly, Morgan and Miranda Falls, tireless members of the Cordova Mines Recre-

ation Association and Jeff and Lisa Howie, owner/operators of Hamilton Bus Lines and long-time volunteers supporters of township events.

They give their time, vol-unteer in various capacities, they come out and want to get involved in things that are go-ing on in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen. It makes us all proud of where we live and who we are, Gerow said.

Morris, a 54-year resident of the township, is a dedicated volunteer with a number of organizations such as Commu-nity Care, the Lake Kasshabog Library committee, a found-ing member of the Havelock Woodturners and vice chair of the burgeoning Nourish Com-mittee.

Hes very much a people person who has an awareness of the needs of the community he lives in, Gerow said while making the presentation.

You have no idea about the tremendous effort of the volun-teers in this area who put for-ward to make it a better place to live and its working. Its a won-derful place to be, Morris said. Ive had a lot to do with seven councils and theyve been great and fair and listened to what we had to say. Theyve worked hard to try to make this a great place to live.

Vicki Blakely and Don Radnor of the Havelock Lions shared the stage with 56-year charter member Don Cassan and his wife Ellie. Blakely said it was an honour to be on stage

with Cassan, one of two charter members still active in the club.

The club also has five life members who are still working and attending every meeting.

Theyve got so much knowledge and are role models for the community, Blakely said. (The Lions) have done so much for the community because the community allows (us) to do so much because theyre very giving. Weve got

a lot of support.Judy Moretton of the North

of & Artisans said, I cant tell you how much support weve gotten from the community and businesses. It has been wonder-ful.

Said Chris Smith: This community has rallied around us and supported us. Everything we do is community-driven; it comes from the community.

By Sue DickensSports - Campbellford - The third-annual Ladies Rock n Shop Cash Bonspiel was a resounding success according to organizer Jackie Igleheart.

The full bonspiel of 16 teams consisted of club representation from Brighton, Picton and Campbellford , Quinte, Norwood, Marmora, and two Peterborough clubs.

Sixty-four curlers on the ice throughout the day, competing in two draws, and there were vendors so the ladies could shop, too.

The first draw win was earned by the Joan Smith rink out of the Peterborough Curling Club.

Second was the Fran Fulford team out of Brighton, and third place went to the Joy Reid team out of Marmora.

Second draw win was earned by the Mary Walker-Hope Brighton rink, followed by the Julie Jarvis team of Quinte and third place went to the Doris Nickson rink out of the Peterborough

Curling Club.Darlene Brown, Jill Stewart, Sandy Chapman

and Bev McComb made up the committee, which spent months preparing for the bonspiel.

They all agreed the bonspiel saw a full house, a day filled with fun and competition.

The men from the curling club here served the ladies their lunch.

It was a chance to curl, shop and enjoy some homemade cooking.

The local vendors added a unique concept and excitement to the spiel, said Igleheart.

Thanks to Earth Angel, Gunn-Johnston, Cluttered Treasures, Out on an Limb, and the CMH Gift Shop for setting up shop, giving the curlers a chance to kick of their Christmas shopping, she said.

A silent auction consisted of donated prizes from Westben, Warkworth Golf Course,

The Stinking Rose Pub, Stirling Theatre, The Gallery B & B Warkworth, Emilyville B&B
