BBIA breakfastBusiness community gathers for AGM

During the Wednesday, Jan. 22 meeting of council in Hastings Highlands, program man-ager Kevin Mooder of Jp2g Consultants Inc. pro-vided an update on the site evaluation process to determine the location for the new municipal septage disposal facility.

To measure the groundwater levels PVC pipes with a slot in the bottom were installed at each of the three potential sites (Papineau Lake, Lake St Peter and Little Papineau Lake) in an attempt to gauge the seasonal fluctuation of the water table.

Jp2g are now awaiting comments from the MOE on their findings. They are also looking to clearly resolve a number of issues with the Min-istry of Natural Resources (MNR) regarding for-estry and aggregates.

“If there are forest management plans in place at some of these areas we would like to know how the establishment of this facility may impact their overall mandate, recognizing that some of these properties will be taken out of forestry or aggregate,” said Mooder.

He said that the MNR’s mandate is basi-cally species-at-risk, birds, forestry and natu-ral resource issues, which are all things that he claims Jp2g have a good understanding of. According to Mooder, getting information from the MNR has been like “pulling teeth.”

“They are not recognizing the context that we are financially and time-constrained doing this type of work,” he said.

“We are not going to spend $30,000 at each of these candidate areas. I am not trying to defend this for an Environmental Protection Act approval. I am trying to compare the three sites equally.”

He explained that after reviewing the results from the hydrogeology studies completed so far of the three sites, they have narrowed down their search to two potential locations for the new facility. Although Jp2g’s initial evaluation of the test kits at the Lake St. Peter site showed promise, further study revealed these areas of thick overburden and a fairly deep water table to be too sporadically placed throughout the loca-tion. With the Little Papineau Lake and Papineau Lake site exhibiting more favourable conditions for trenching the Lake St. Peter site has now offi-cially been ruled out.

“We went further afield last year and found that although there are very huge mature maple and oak trees on the slope, one would have thought that there would be a significant over-burden depth, and there just wasn’t,” said

A long climb

2 Bancroft This Week • Friday, January 31, 2014

As they say, you only get one chance to make a first impression.

The Bancroft Business Improvement Association (BBIA) wants to make sure that the impression visitors get the first time they come to town will keep them coming back.

“When people surf the Internet and land on a company web page, they only take a few seconds to decide if they’ll stay on that page,” town Councillor and BBIA board mem-ber Peter Whitehead told a 30-strong crowd last Thursday morning at the BBIA annual general meeting and breakfast at the York Room of the South Algonquin Eatery and Pub. “Like a website, we only have a few seconds to make a good first impression. Businesses need to think about everything they put out there to, ‘keep people on the page.’ A town that makes an effort sends a message that this is a town worth staying in. It’s what makes people consider retiring, being a seasonal property or investing in a business here.”

The logic is simple, he added: “If I’m an investor do I want to invest in a pretty town or an ugly town.”

Mayor Bernice Jenkins expressed town council’s appre-ciation of this logic. “Without the BBIA, our town wouldn’t look the way it does,” said Jenkins. “We wouldn’t see the flair for decoration, the flowers and the trees. This is the face of the town. Never lose sight of that.”

Todd Smith, MPP for Prince Edward-Hasting, also in attendance, agreed. “I can assure you that you live in a very pretty town.”

In the last year, the BBIA, along with TD Green Streets and Trees Canada secured funding for a tree planting pro-gram that resulted in 14 new and permanent lilac trees along the Main Street each dedicated to a community vol-unteer. With the co-operation of the public works depart-ment, we now have new directional signage throughout downtown.

A new interpretative kiosk has been erected along the river by the cenotaph. The BBIA also draws on the talent of local artists from the street banners featuring the art of local public school students to the paintings by Rocky Green and Cheryl Ellenberger at the rest station at the corner of Sta-tion and Hastings streets. And the BBIA is already getting its gears in motion for the Beautification of the York River Boardwalk being planned for this year.

But, as Whitehead also said, looking pretty takes more than ‘just putting the party dress on.” The BBIA also con-tributes to community events, organizing the “Blast From the Past Vintage Snowmobile Show” at Think Snow 2013, something it will be repeating again this year.

The Wheels, Water and Wings (WWW) summer week-end was the “Event of the Year” in Hastings County drawing

almost 2,500 visitors and injecting over $300,000 worth of visitor spending on the Friday night alone. This summer’s WWW event promises to be even bigger and better. Local businesses are encouraged to contact the BBIA for sponsor-

ship opportunities for this popular event.According to a seasonal residents survey, The Bancroft

Farmers’ Market was visited by over half of all seasonal resi-dents, making it the most attended activity by seasonal resi-dents in North Hastings.

Funded in large part by an annual business levy, the

BBIA works hard to support local business in the area through things like the Business Retention and Expan-sion program, partnering with other local organizations to provide things like the upcoming social media marketing workshops at Loyalist College in March.

The BBIA has launched a new website (beautifulbancroft.ca), which will feature a local business directory along with a series of on and offline guides to assist both new and existing businesses. This spring, the BBIA plans to intro-duce an associate membership program to allow at-home businesses and businesses outside of the downtown core to benefit from its services.

There are currently more than 230 BIAs in Ontario, rang-ing in size from less than 60 businesses and property own-ers to more than 2,000. Bancroft businesses currently pay about $600 a year to the BBIA. This according to White-head, is about half the provincial average for BIA business levies. “For a number of years our levy was kept static,” explained Whitehead.

“We are not trying to catch up to provincial average but yes, it has inched up in the last couple years. Part of our communication strategy is to let businesses know what we are doing to justify this levy.”

Run entirely by a volunteer board, the BBIA’s hard-work-ing executive director Chris Drost is the organization’s only salaried employee.

As such, the BBIA is always looking for help, be it becom-ing a board member or simply volunteering for one of the many ongoing projects that help to “keep people on our page.”

The BBIA meets on the first Thursday of the month at the muncipal office on Flint Ave. All are welcome.

The following are a series of reports from the Wednesday, Jan. 22 session of council for the municipality of Hastings Highlands.

Hastings Highlands joined a group of 11 other rural municipalities across Ontario to pass a resolution that demands the prov-ince make changes to the proposed OPP billing model set to take effect in 2015. The municipalities of Huron Shores, Tay Val-ley, McDougall, Archipelago, Fort Frances, Seguin, The Village of Oil Springs, Cham-plain, Whitewater Region, East Ferris, Brockton and now Hastings Highlands, have all joined forces to petition Premier Kathleen Wynne to come up with a more equitable OPP billing model for all small municipalities.

“I know it is a great dilemma in coming up with a formula that is fair to everyone, but maybe the question should be asked, that given all of the statistics for this region what are the estimated number of OPP needed?” Councillor Lorraine Fell said.

“We need to take into account the chang-ing statistics, and see if in fact they are going down. That would be something to take into the overall formula.”

Councillor Hald Robinson said that there needs to be another look at the numbers they have used to justify the current num-ber of OPP working in Bancroft.

“Being born and raised here, I don’t remember there ever being 27 OPP being in Bancroft before and I don’t feel that there is any need for them now,” said Robinson.

“Back when the mines were running there were more people here in Bancroft as far as population goes. I can’t see that they have that much work that they need the numbers that they are coming up with. I read in the papers that our crime rate is going down, and our break and enters are going down, so why do we have to pay for

all of this if we are becoming more of a safe community to live in.”

Arie Hoogenboom, the interim CAO for the municipality of Hastings Highlands said that it is a good idea in the short-term to support these other municipalities that are lobbying the government.

“It may well be that in an election year so they are going to be under some pressure to try to figure out how to treat rural Ontario with respect to policing,” said Hoogen-

boom. “There are large inequities involved.” Working with an urban municipal-

ity in the past, Hoogenboom said that he found himself “on the other side of the fence.” Reflecting upon this experience he explained that this municipality was paying $600 to $700 per household while the town-ship next door was paying $220 per house-hold.

“Sounds familiar,” said Deputy Mayor Greg Roberts.

“There was no real equity in that,” Hoogenboom said.

“I think that the province is starting to realize this, and they have to find a way to gradually transition everyone so that they are paying equitably. We all want a police service and good police protection, and ultimately we all have to pay for it. There is just the question of how we are going to bring these costs down.”

Hastings Highlands to support the NHFT

The North Hastings Family Health Team (NHFHT) is seeking financial support from the municipality of Hastings Highlands in the budget 2014. This funding is to help continue improving doctor recruitment to the area, so that the NHFTH can provide primary health care to patients in the area.

“I certainly have no problem with help-ing out the doctor recruitment program in Bancroft, but we also have a lot of residents in Hastings Highlands that get their health care services in Barry’s Bay,” said Council-lor Mike Leveque.

“In the past we have helped out with the doctor recruitment program out there. Last year we had reached the end of our spend-ing of the funds allocated. I think we need to take another look at that.”

With a motion already on the table to

consider providing funds for the NHFHT in 2014, Fell put forth a motion to amend the motion in order to make a donation imme-diately with the funds allocated for this

cause in the 2013 budget.“Every year since I have been here and

that we have been involved with the North Hastings Family Health Team we have allo-cated funds,” Fell said.

After concerns were raised by other members of council that this amendment could in fact be voted down, and thus pre-vent funds from being accommodated for in the 2014 budget, the original motion was passed.

OPP billing model needs to be equitable, says CAO

NEVER BEFORE HAVE I LIVED in a place that I have got to know so well. Although

I grew up playing in forests and fields around the Niagara region, by the time that I valued these places most of them had been replaced by a sprawl of strip malls or sub-divisions. For instance, one of the choice locations for pond hockey in St. Catharines on Martindale pond that we used to access by toboggan is now blocked by a row of cookie cut-ter houses.

One of the things that I appreciate most about North Hastings is how accessible its natural and cultural heritage still is today. Approaching eight years now of hiking the same cir-cles throughout the landscape where I live in L’Amable, I have come to notice this history that remains bur-ied beneath the thin layer of moss and leaves on the surface.

Like pieces to a puzzle depicting a moment from the past, remnants of the past blend into the terrain as if they sprouted from the earth where they fell victim to the forces that once pushed them forward. One artifact of particular beauty that charms me into visiting it almost every time is an old horse-drawn wagon that stopped roll-ing generations ago. Seeming to be pulled back into the soil by the roots of the spruce trees growing through its spokes a little bit more each visit, I wonder what its final day on the job was like. What was it used for? What were the names of the people and the horses that hooked them-selves on to this vehicle? The longer I sit and think the more questions that come.

I think about how rich childhood could be for an individual growing up in a place like North Hastings that still authentically possesses its herit-

age and the natural landscape that it arose from.

During this routine walk I have begun to develop a deeper con-nection to the space in which I live. While I can give testament to the dif-ferences each year and season that I have bared witness to, upon speak-ing with a friend who has lived in this region for more than 37 years, he is a much more credible resource when questioning what North Hast-ings is like today in comparison to when he arrived to the community in 1976.

In this relatively short-time that he has lived here he can vouch for seeing many changes come and go.

These changes, how-ever, are only a fraction in comparison to the transformations that the wildlife have endured to continue calling this land home.

In my brief time as a resident I have made it a habit to pay atten-tion to things like when and where the black-eyed Susan’ s bloom and the wild strawber-

ries deliver their fruit. As each sea-son passes, I become more aware of every insect, bird, mammal, flower, and plant that I discover sharing this habitat with me.

How many generations have these species been evolving in this place we call North Hastings? Imagine the depth of local wisdom resident spe-cies like turtles and butterflies have acquired and utilized to perpetuate their species throughout their more than 100 million years of evolution.

Of course this immense body of wisdom is just a drop in the bucket within the cosmic scale of things, but a droplet still that carries a much bigger splash than all of humankind at this point in our unfolding evolu-tionary history.

Has the thought ever crossed your mind to run for a municipal political office? I know, many people have threat-ened to do so in a moment of frustration over some issue, but subsequently with-drew the notion as unsound. For sure, what is ideally required is a broader con-cern for the well being of your commu-nity, considering all of the responsibili-ties of municipal government.

Municipal governments deliver ser-vices such as roads, ambulance, fire ser-vices, garbage and recycling, libraries, parks and recreation, transit, policing, public health, water and sewer.

For a number of years I have been fol-lowing various local municipal govern-ments, some more regularly that others. Here are a few of my observations:

Good leadership skills make effective, successful politics and sound decisions. Making decisions by polling around is not good leadership, and results in delay

and less effective choices.You will be faced with an avalanche of

new information to digest.Prepare to be praised by some, and

insulted by others. You will be misun-derstood and the subject of misinforma-tion. Prepare to be frustrated by process. Remember, whatever you decide, not everyone will be happy.

Political office is a very complicated, demanding, stressful and a difficult undertaking. Having said all of that, there is clearly great joy and satisfaction know-ing that you have contributed to making a difference in your community.

So, there are a few hoops to jump through, before you get to the “hoops of fire”.

This is election year, and nomina-tions in every municipality have already opened on Jan. 2, and remain open until Friday, Sept. 12, 2014 at 2 p.m. All the information you need to know can be obtained from your municipal office, but here are some highlights:

Papers must be filed at your munici-

pal office in person along with the fee of $200 for the position of head of council, or $100 for any other position. There are some specific rules of eligibility, but gen-erally anyone 18 years old by election day, and living on, or owning property in the municipality can be nominated.

The Municipal Act also sets campaign expense limits according to a fancy for-mula based on the number of eligible voters, and strict accounting rules that must be adhered to. The municipal clerk will inform you of your spending limit by law.

Jennifer Cohen, Wollaston Township clerk, crunched the numbers for poten-tial Wollaston candidates, and has pro-vided me with the following estimates:

For position of reeve – spending limit of approximately $9,062.

For all other council positions – spend-ing limit of approximately $6,562.

So, you are still not sure? I have two suggestions:

There is lots of time to attend coun-cil meetings before the September filing

deadline. Every one of our local munici-pal websites list their meeting dates and times, as well as archived minutes from past meetings. Some also post upcoming meeting agendas and information pack-ages. You would do well to learn about the big issues that your council is strug-gling with, or isn’t.

The Association of Municipalities Ontario (your municipality is a member) offers an online course entitled: So you want to run for council? The course offers information on campaigning, the media, regulations and laws that govern your actions, transparency and accountabil-ity, conflict of interest, and working with social media. Visit: www.amo.on.ca for further information.

So, “get your engines running.” Most candidates won’t declare until Septem-ber, but you can start early! Just be sure to save all of your financial paperwork!

“There’s nothing better than a good election campaign with lots of candi-dates,” says Jennifer Cohen.

I agree.

Points of viewHoops of fire

Jim EadieSpecial to This Week

Organic gardening is a multi-level activity. Not only are there feelings of liv-ing with integrity of doing no harm to the land, but a spiritual sense of wellness, providing food for one’s self as well as a real good physical workout.

Events of the past week have left me wondering about how much peo-ple really care. It appears we are living at a time in history where everywhere we turn there are stories of earth’s fur-ther degradation for greed. Far too many times a day we are saying, “oh, that’s bad.” A real feeling of frustration can take over for those of us who hold the dirt in our hands as if it was gold, diamonds or the last can of gas. Fertile soil, our great-est resource!

This week, when I needed it most, I paid attention and found some good news for organic gardening and for our planet I wanted to share.

Through music, a singer-songwriter Neil Young has been meeting people

at the soul level with songs that por-tray a lot of nature and justice. He does not have to do what he is doing. He has enough money to not care, but he does. The Alberta Tar Sands has been declared to be the second most polluting environ-mental disaster in the world. Young is standing with Natives choosing to pro-tect Mother Earth by taking our “voted in voice of power to represent us”, the gov-ernment to court. Using his talents of music Young has been bringing aware-ness and raising funds to support this cause, because he cares.

The National Farmer’s Union has responded to Bill C-18, the Seeds Act and Plant Breeder’ Rights Act. In 2002, Can-ada ratified the United Nations Interna-tional Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture where they promised to not limit any rights of the farmers and indigenous communities for protecting, saving, selling and plant-ing their own seed. You can look this up

and I encourage you to, because if we lose our small open pollinated seed com-panies and these rights, our whole food system becomes a commodity. Our food freedom is over. Become a member and make your voice heard.

Last year a brave woman took a step to save the bees. Jen Lidster opened Mag-gie May’s Country Garden where she did her best to provide bee friendly, locally organic grown and heirloom plants. After a tough start, she is going to set up again. She will tell you her guiding force comes from working in commercial green-houses and opening up in the morning to see the whole earth in the greenhouse was covered with bees.

So what does Neil Young, The National Farmer’s Union and Maggie May’s Coun-try Gardens at Mountney’s General Store have in common? These are examples of people standing up to not just say “oh, that’s bad”, but actually taking action.

Every time we choose to move toward

control over our food, whether it be buy-ing locally from organic growers or get-ting your hands dirty by planting a veg-etable garden, you are choosing to take responsibility. Organic growers under-stand more than anyone else, we need to protect the diversity of life. We are all connected just like earthworms and bees.

Isn’t it time we took some action in positive ways? We have the models and examples of people willing to do some-thing to save the planet’s delicate eco-systems, which includes us and genera-tions to come. We all have something we can do with our differing gifts and skills. Right now, in this place in history, simply saying, ”oh, that’s bad” is just not enough!

Bancroft and District Real Estate board gives back

Blackfish deserves attention

To the Editor,

Thank you Bancroft, Bancroft This Week and Nate Smelle for bringing attention to the suf-fering of ‘Performing Non Human Animals.

Non human animals are not product, prop-erty, sport, entertainment, food or test sub-jects.Humans are responsible for the suffering of millions of non human animals every sec-ond of each day.

This includes those of us that do nothing to end such practices.To sustain life we do not need to take life. This is a choice for most.

If we chose to open our eyes, mind and edu-cate ourselves we can see this to be true and pledge to not contribute to the suffering of any living creature.

Bill Campbell arranges photos of his wife Hester on a table at the Bancroft Walk for Memories. She’s pictured through different stages of her life from her wedding day to a photo of her with white hair, as a grandmother.

Hester’s not here with Bill. She’s in the Manor, probably sleeping. It’s been 9 years since she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and Bill has been by her side through all of it.

Today Bill plays an important role at the Walk for Memo-ries. He represents the local Alzheimer Society and along with others supported through the years, he gives back as much as he receives.

The Walk for Memories raised over $20,000 this year and those at the event were filled with joy. The money raised means that support will continue for those with the diag-nosis and also that support will continue for care partners.

Sitting together with Hester in late December by the fire-place at the Manor, Bill gives an interview, sharing his story of life with Hester and with Alzheimer’s disease. He’s will-ing to share his story because he knows it will help others as part of the Alzheimer awareness media blitz.

“She doesn’t know me now,” Bill says. “She sleeps a lot.”But that doesn’t stop Bill from spending countless hours

at the Manor with his wife. He has become close with other couples on a similar

path. He has made new friends with all the time spent vis-iting at the Manor and he knows many from the support group he attends.

Bill’s voice is strong and rich and no doubt it provides comfort to Hester as she dozes in her chair.

Bill offers the same advice as other care partners. He says that an early diagnosis is important for so many reasons. He knew that there were many cases of dementia in Hester’s family and so when they were on a road trip down south and he realised Hester could not make sense of a map or road signs, he had some concerns.

“Then we went into a store near where we were staying and Hester really liked this one crock pot,” Bill remembers. “The next few days when she saw it again she kept saying how nice it was and it was like she had never seen it before.”

So together they started on the road to diagnosis and Hester had some opportunity to help plan her own future.

Bill says Hester was always beautifully put together and that she loved to wear jewellery. Part of what she could plan for was who would receive her prized jewellery when she no longer needed it.

At first Bill and Hester remained together at home but as the disease progressed, Hester, who was still strong and mobile, started wandering. Things got bad when Hester wandered out of their home one rainy night in her slip-pers and nightgown while Bill slept. And although she was located quickly, the experience shook Bill up.

“It’s a small town and many knew Hester,” Bill says. “I think this makes it easier.”

When the time came for Hester to move into the Manor Bill adapted to the changes. He started spending more and more time there and he has become friends with the staff, residents and their families. Even as Hester slips further and further away, Bill remains connected and includes her in visits and social time.

“I’m happy with what’s happening here,” Bill says. “Hes-ter needs more and more care.”

Hester is still beautifully dressed and her hair is done. Swallowing is now a challenge but Bill says the staff can still get food into her, it just takes time and patience.

When Bill is not with Hester he is busy with the local support group that’s operated by the Belleville Hastings

Quinte Alzheimer Society and he’s also supported by Sarah Krieger.

“Sarah is a great lady,” Bill beams. “She calls me always and she’s always there for us.”

Bill has taken his role in the support group seriously and he actively supports others who are in need of a shoulder from time to time. He helps with Alzheimer disease educa-tion and he’s an active participant with the Walk for Mem-ories.

“My message is to tell people to go to the Alzheimer Soci-ety immediately,” Bill says. “You need to get tested. You need to know what’s happening.”

And it’s not easy. Bill says the Alzheimer Society has pro-vided support but there are still losses, sadness and day to day challenges. Not everyone has stood by Bill and Hester. Some people have become absent as Hester has declined

and Bill says this is a reality with the disease.And this might be why our local Alzheimer Society has

beat all past fundraising totals. This small group of staff and volunteers are there when others disappear. This small group of staff and volunteers provide support, encourage-ment and even a few laughs when they are needed the most.

Bill shares a quote to sum up how he’s feeling. It’s from Walter Winchell, an American newsman who famously said, “A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.”

To Bill and the others supported by the Alzheimer Soci-ety, they have found real friends at a time when they needed it the most.

Mooder.“These trees are sitting basically on one

or two metres of overburden which sur-prised us. You don’t really know until you dig.”

The three-part criterion that the ideal site for the facility must meet includes: suf-ficient depth of rock, soil type and reason-able use. Reasonable use is a guideline that the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) applies to waste disposal sites.

This determines whether the planned use for the site is suitable given the context of the location.

“Our purpose here is to evaluate options how to manage septage,” Mooder said.

“This is a strategy we are trying to iden-tify here. We went through the evaluation of options and council agreed with our selection of options.”

The new interim CAO for the municipal-ity of Hastings Highlands, Arie Hoogen-boom, questioned whether choosing a site before the evaluation process of the two

remaining sites was complete could back-fire and cause the municipality to begin the process again.

“You don’t want to end up doing all of this work, and spending all of the money and end up with no sites,” said Hoogen-boom.

“There is no guarantee in hydrogeology,” replied Mooder.

“For those who know the Little Papineau site, that area certainly experienced a sig-nificant event last spring. If I go out there and find that the water-table in the spring came popping up three metres where we didn’t expect it to be, it certainly would dis-count that site. I cannot put a site some-where that does not meet the criteria.”

After debating the risks of choosing a site with the information they have acquired through the evaluation process council unanimously passed a motion which states that the Little Papineau site will be their preferred location for the new facility, if it proves to be appropriate for trenching.

A technological innovation company based out of Dorchester wants to set up a testing site within the boundaries of Hali-burton County. Representatives of Armatec Survivability made a delegation to Dysart council on Jan. 27 outlining their proposal for a research and development facility located in Harcourt.

The company is applying for an applica-tion to amend the official plan and the zon-ing by-law on a 2,000 piece of property near Elephant Lake Road and Benoir Lake. On the property, Armatec Survivability would like to develop a research and development plant, where the company would test mil-itary equipment for Canadian and allied forces.

“There are four small areas identified where we would like to do experimental work,” said Karl Pfister, president and CEO of Armatec.

The proposal would include about one per cent of the 2,000 acres used for the exercises, as well as other land devoted to utility buildings and roads.

Pfister explained that the noise impact resulting from the “blasting” was minimal, due to the blasts lasting less than one sec-ond and occurring in a remote area.

The company is also required to adhere to strict safety and noise guidelines estab-lished by the Ministry of Environment.

“It’s like a testing ground for tanks, to

make sure they’re built safely,” said Reeve Murray Fearrey, clarifying what the com-pany does.

The proposal would see an opportunity for about five to 15 jobs for the local econ-omy, said Pfister.

Councillor Susan Norcross asked if there were other R&D sites near a town that could provide some further information to council.

“I want to hear if the claims the com-pany is saying are true,” she said, adding she would like to inquire about issues such as the noise, affect on the ground and sur-rounding property.

Pfister explained that the company, on average, executes about 30 blasts a year on their site, totaling about one minute of blasting a year.

“However it’s the public perception,” said Norcross.

“That’s the difficult part,” said Fearrey.Pfister said his plan was to facilitate a

public information session in the future, preferably on Feb. 23, to answer questions and concerns residents might have. Once details for the session have been finalized the public will be notified.

According to Pfister, a significant amount of planning and research has been done to measure the environmental effects of this type of facility on the natural habitat and recreational values of the area. Council passed a resolution for the application to amend the official plan and to amend the zoning bylaw for the proposed property, located on Peterson Road.

PLAN NUMBER 1-3-608 COMPACT, SNUG THREE BEDROOM HOMECompact and snug, this delightful three-bedroom home includes all the features demanded by today’s families—and on a single floor.

The double-height foyer is reached via a covered entry. To the right is Bedroom No. 3, which could easily double as a den or home office. Beyond the foyer, which contains a coat closet on the left, is the family area, comprising an open-plan great room, dining area and kitchen.

The kitchen features a raised seating bar and prep island, as well as an L-shaped counter configuration, for maximum efficiency. An extra-wide window sill over the sink will make the perfect spot to display plants and collectibles. Two pantries and a linen closet are located nearby.

The dining room features an optional built-in buffet, and has access to a large sundeck, where family members and guests alike will enjoy summertime meals and relaxation.

The great room, with access to the sundeck, boasts a dramatic double-height ceiling. The fireplace tucked into one corner will not only provide cozy warmth during the cooler months, it will also serve as a magnet for family activities.

The master suite, with its own private sundeck, includes a roomy walk-in closet, as well as a well-appointed four-piece bath, where a shower and soaker tub occupy a bayed-out nook with a window.

The second bedroom shares a three-piece bathroom with Bedroom No. 3. The laundry room includes a two-way cupboard, ideal for storing off-season gear. Access to the double garage means the laundry room can double as a mud room.

Exterior features include decorative wooden touches under the front window, as well as cross-bracing in the gables. Stone accents on either side of the garage and under the corner pilaster underscore the home’s aura of solid comfort.

Plans for design 1-3-608 are available for $579 (set of 5), $657 (set of 8) and $702 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C. Please add 7% P.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.

The charity Bancroft and Area Kids in Need (KIN) had a busy winter this year, and the community once again gave gen-erously to the families in need in our area.

Every year, the “Adopt-a-child” program assists Bancroft area children in need with warm winter clothing and boots for our long winter. The program operates out of the Bancroft OPP detachment, with the support of the KIN board.

Community members, agencies and businesses contribute time, resources and money to the project each year. 127 chil-dren received winter clothing through the program.

In addition, Bancroft and Area Kids in Need in partnership with the Chil-dren’s Aid Society and local businesses and banks ensure every child in the Ban-croft area have a Christmas present under

their tree on Christmas morning. 245 chil-dren received toys as part of the 2013 toy drive. Thanks to Foodland, Canadian Tire, The Red Apple, Shoppers Drug Mart, IDA, Kawartha Credit Union (Bancroft and Coe Hill branches), Scotiabank, the TD bank and Bancroft Dollar Plus for providing areas to collect toys.

Money was raised through the Moose FM radio fundraiser, Foodland fundraiser and other donations from businesses and community members.

Through all of these activities the Ban-croft community has given generously and the continued support from the commu-nity is greatly appreciated by KIN.

KIN making a difference for families

Its second season for the young Atom Jets and a second chance to play longer this year. But wait, we have to play the Baltimore Ice Dogs again, the team that ousted the Jets in 3 straight. Another long drive to Baltimore and another terri-ble weather day. The Jets came out skat-ing but once again the Ice Dogs found the back of the net first. “Stay to the game plan” coach Shane Anderson could be heard screaming. An absolute blistering shot from just inside the blue line by Cody Switzer ties the game assisted by Colson West. It was 1-1 after 1.

The teams exchanged power play goals early in the second period. Tre-vor McDowell holding the line over to Desi Davies with a goal by Colson Jen-kins tied the game at 2. A solid behind the net effort by 3 tenacious forwards, Cody, Mason Cuomo over to Sam Coulas put the Jets ahead 3-2. The Jets finish the sec-ond period with another power play goal,

Cody back to Conner Sobry who fired a solid shot along the ice that was tipped in by Colson West. A solid defensive effort by Jonathon Young late in the second holds the score at 4-2 Jets.

Nothing was going to deter the Atom Jets this game. Solid back checking by Desi, over to Colson Jenkins with a shot on net and rebound put top shelf by Keagan Anderson puts us ahead 5-2. A late push by the much larger Ice Dogs brings them back within 2. The Ice Dogs pull the goalie again but it was the solid net minding by Phillip Canon and the ability to block shots by Tanner Potts to prevent a sure goal that launches the Atom Jets into the win. 5-3 is the final score.

The Bancroft Auto Body Jets will be playing again this Saturday at 3 p.m. in Bancroft. Come out and support your Jets.

The Bancroft Motors Midget Jets swept the Newcastle Stars in three games to advance in the preliminary round of the OMHA ‘CC’ provincial playdown. The Midget Jets sealed the series with a 4-2 win on Friday, January 24 at the North Hastings Community Centre. The Stars set the ten-sion-meter to high when they scored in the first ninety sec-onds to quieten the hometown crowd. The Jets rebounded with their first marker on Jordan Easton’s strong effort but fell behind late in the first period when Newcastle scored again. Unfazed trailing 2-1 going into the second, the Jets

carried the play to the Stars throughout the frame. Tan-ner Shatraw tied the game at 2-2 after defenceman David Baehre weaved in and around the Stars defence on a high speed rush and delivered a perfect goalmouth pass to Shatraw. The play excited the crowd and elevated the Jets’ confidence level. Easton scored again a few minutes later on a nice feed from winger Travis McCormack and the teams went into the dressing room after the second frame with Bancroft in the lead 3-2. In the third, Newcastle took back-to-back penalties to afford the Jets a two-player

advantage. The Stars managed to kill the first penalty but succumbed to the second one when Gabe Butler showed tremendous patience by outwaiting the Stars’ goaltender who committed early and firing a shot into the Newcastle net. With the 4-2 win, the Bancroft Motors Midgets advance in the preliminary round of the playoffs. At the time of writ-ing, their next opponent had yet to be determined. Listen to local Moose Radio, 97.7 FM for updates.

Bancroft Motors midgets sweep Newcastle

The Jan Woodlands Novice Jets woke up to a snowy Sat-urday morning to find out that Game number three was cancelled due to weather conditions, losing that home ice advantage to take the series in a three game sweep. Instead, the Jets had to travel to Campbellford for game three of the five game series.

The face off was at 4:30 and it didn’t take long for the Colts to take the lead. The Jets retaliated with a goal from Ethan Wilkes, assisted by Brady Hunt and Justin Toupin. It was all tied up and not soon after the Colts turned it up and took the lead going into the second period.

The Jets goalie, Peyton Armstrong, was on her game that afternoon, she was stopping shots from everywhere it seemed. The travelling Jets fans were cheering for her loud and clear. The Colts were turning up the pressure on the Jets and were charged with two penalties in the second. The Jets had only seconds left in the last penalty and the Colts managed to take one last shot and score, going into the third 3-1.

The Jets took the time between periods to regroup and come out stronger. They worked together, passing and

blocking shots, and were able to keep the pressure off even while taking more penalty minutes and playing short handed. The Jets were running out of time, and with just 56 seconds left, James comes up with the goal, with assist from Trayton Burke, to bring the game to 3-2. Armstrong was pulled from the goal to put some extra pressure on the Colts, less than ten seconds left, and Brady Hunt takes the puck on a breakaway, Jets fans were on their feet as the clock ran down, he took the shot and the Colts goalie got a piece of it and just missed the goal and the buzzer went off. The Jets lost 3-2.

They meet up with the Colts this Friday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. Come on out and cheer this Novice team to a victory on home ice. They could advance to the next playoff round. Go Jets!
