Bancroft CouncilHeavy snow in December 2013 surpasses 2012-2013 totals

Club 580 was pushing capacity on Thursday, Jan. 16 as the community’s movers and shak-ers gathered to exchange ideas regarding how to transform Bancroft into a world-class destina-tion. The goal of the Destination Bancroft pro-ject is to create a conceptual plan for Riverside Park, the skatepark, Millennium Park and the area between Bridge Street and Station Street along the Heritage Trail.

EDA Collaborative Inc. is known world-wide for its work in landscape architecture, urban design, project management and environmen-tal management. They have been hired by the municipality along with Sierra Planning and Management to come up with a comprehen-sive development strategy for Bancroft to re-define itself as a premier year-round tourist des-

tination. Funding for the plan to be developed was obtained by the municipality through the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sports.

The evening began with a presentation by Bruce Cudmore, a consultant from EDA consult-ing firm. EDA was brought in by the municipal-ity to help and find ways to better utilize Ban-croft’s natural and cultural assets.

“Our real purpose here tonight is to listen to the community,” said Cudmore.

“We are building this plan from the ground up and we need to hear from you about what you believe are the important aspects of it that we should know about. The things that you think are the key building blocks for building this tourism destination.”

Because of Bancroft’s abundance of cultural and natural assets along with its centralized geo-graphical location from numerous larger cit-ies and attractions, Jonathan Hack, a consult-ant with Sierra Planning and Management,

described Bancroft as having an important regional significance.

“We are very early in our process obviously but it is quite clear that Bancroft’s role is far greater than not only its wintertime population, but even its summertime population as a trade area that speaks directly to its regional role in the market-place,” said Hack.

“In terms of how we view the provision and justification for investment in services, recrea-tion and tourism opportunities we are taking that regional scale in identifying what is needed what the market demand is and what the oppor-tunities are. The next question is how this can be accommodated within the boundaries of the town of Bancroft.”

After the presentations the room was divided into several discussion groups to brainstorm on ideas of how Bancroft can better capitalize on

Big win for Huskies

2 Bancroft This Week • Friday, January 24, 2014

Wollaston council met for their regular meeting on Jan. 14 with new surprises arising in the same old expenses that cause them acid reflux every year at this time. First off the mark, Reeve Dan McCaw complained about the reception he received at Hastings County Planning Advisory and Land Division Committee on Jan. 9 in Belleville. McCaw con-tends that committee members do not seem to understand the complaints that he has brought to them from council related to the new official plan and provincial policy state-ments that the new plan will be crafted around.

In addition, he was chastised at the meeting by several committee members for referring to the upper tiers of gov-ernment and their treatment of rural northern concerns as “bullying”.

“We should be asked about what we need,” he said. “I can’t seem to get that across, we’re asking to be asked.”

“In my 10 years with this council, they have never con-

sulted us,” said Deputy Reeve Graham Blair. “In the provin-cial policy statement, it says development of the official plan should be done in consultation with the municipalities.”

“There’s going to be a battle,” said McCaw. “I feel very strongly that we are done if this thing goes through. The best they could do is throw me out of county council. The war-den seems to be worried that what we are doing will put a black mark against his wardenship. I told him that it was not about him.”

Wollaston council has long expressed their concern that new development rules that seem to have little relevance to the rural north of the county, will stifle further development in the municipality. Clerk Jennifer Cohen then informed council that an application has been made to the Provin-cial Small Rural and Northern Municipal Infrastructure Fund for the completion of paving the Lower Faraday Road. Cohen noted that completing the application was onerous for such a small municipality with very limited staff, and especially considering the one-month notice given by the province.

Also filed with council was a copy of a letter to Premier Wynne from the Ontario Township of East Ferris. The letter pointed out that the definition of “small and rural” for the program was “any municipality under 100,000 residents,” which amounts to 95 per cent of Ontario municipalities. In addition, the requirement for the municipality to demon-strate financial hardship in the application actually penal-

izes municipalities that have a record of good fiscal man-agement.

Council also received the preliminary budget for the Crowe Valley Conservation Authority (CVCA) indicating that they would be seeking a six per cent increase in their bill to the municipality for 2014.

“I still think that six per cent is three per cent too high,” said McCaw. “That’s just my feeling. I just can’t see giving them that kind of money at this time. Council has to make a decision.”

“What are our options at this point,” asked Blair. “I guess, send them a message to sharpen their pencils.”

Council unanimously passed a motion to inform the CVCA: “a six per cent increase is unmanageable for Wollas-ton Township ratepayers.”

Next on the list of bad news: the OPP policing estimate for 2014. The policing bill is actually paid by the municipality one year in advance based on the OPP estimate, and then reconciled at the end of the year based on calls for service levels.

“Woweee,” was all McCaw could say.The estimate for 2014 is $180,891, up over $14,000 from

the 2013 estimate of $166,186. Treasurer Verna Brundage pointed out that there still has not been a reconciliation of the 2013 bill, as this has yet to be received from the OPP. The 2012 cost was $154,221.

Included in the OPP estimate was a note that the OPP is the highest paid police service in Ontario, and much of the increase this year is due to an 8.55 per cent salary hike after a two year salary freeze. Council has received a written response from Wynne to a letter written several months ago expressing their concern about the new OPP billing model that will come into effect in 2015. There is a belief there will be a significant cost increase at that time to municipalities such as Wollaston.

Wynne thanked the municipality for their input on the suggested new OPP billing model. “I welcome your coun-cil’s input on this, or any other issue of provincial concern,” she said.

“Well in that case, we should write her a letter about the official plan, and their provincial policy statement,” said Blair.

Council directed the clerk to draft a letter regarding the provincial policy statement to Wynne, as well as the Asso-ciation of Municipalities Ontario (AMO). According to their website, AMO works to make municipal governments stronger and more effective. Through AMO, Ontario’s 444

More snow in December than all of 2012-13, says Kelly

The following are a series of brief reports from the Jan. 14 meeting of Bancroft council.

Mayor Bernice Jenkins opened the Jan. 14 Bancroft coun-cil meeting with a topic that’s been front of mind for all of North Hastings this winter — the weather. She congratu-lated Perry Kelly, manager of public works and his crew for a job well done keeping the roads maintained through-out December’s extreme weather conditions and heavy snowfall. Kelly reported that snowfall in December alone exceeded the total amount of snowfall for the entire win-ter of 2012/13 estimating a total of about 650 tandem truck-loads of snow were removed. “This was a much different picture than last year when we had no snow at all at Christ-mas,” he said. Crews were out seven days a week through the worst of it and while the snow removal budget for December alone was about $35,000, Perry says they went into the month with a good financial buffer so the budget should be able to handle it.

Nominations open for fall municipal electionMayor Jenkins announced that nominations for this fall’s

municipal election opened on Jan. 2, and will be accepted until 2 p.m. on Sept. 11. Go to the town website www.town.bancroft.on.ca for details and nomination forms.

February is Heart MonthEvery February, the Heart and Stroke Foundation cam-

paigns to collect donations to fund research, education and social change. Nearly 1,500 hospital and university-based researchers depend on the Foundation’s fundrais-ing efforts. At the request of the Belleville office of the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Mayor Jenkins proclaimed Febru-ary as Heart Month in the Town of Bancroft, urging all res-idents, businesses and local organizations to show their

support for the Foundation’s campaign.

Municipal office buildings undergo heat system and energy audit

Councillor Don Koppin presented a comprehensive report on the state of the heating system and the energy efficiency of the municipal building offices. An extensive energy audit and building envelope and heating system analysis revealed the following:

* no radon was detected; * the current gas boiler heating system is inefficient and

the boiler could break down any day; * poor insulation and inefficient windows are resulting in

extensive heat lossKoppin calculated that insulation and window improve-

ments could result in over $12,000 annually in heating costs. Mayor Jenkins was surprised to learn that the flat roof of the building was designed specifically to allow heat loss from the building through the ceiling to melt the snow. Insuation improvements will result in a greater snow load on the roof, which is was not designed to withstand. Chief Building Official Dale Shannick confirmed that while the building could not support a second level is could support a new trussed roof which would resolve this issue. The pur-pose of Koppin’s report was to gather information in order to determine the best solutions for the building. “Hope-fully, we’ll get through this winter with the current heating system to give us time to further investigate the best heat-ing and insulation solutions for the building based on my audit,” Koppin said.

Council debates supporting TROUT With some of municipalities pulling their support for the

The Rural Overland Utility Transit (TROUT), concern was expressed that this increasingly vital public transporta-tion option may not have the support it needs to continue. When it was expressed that perhaps the TROUT needed to find other funding solutions, Koppin said, “No public transportation system in the world is sustainable on its own

without municipal support.”

Homecoming tournament returns Deputy Mayor Wayne Wiggins was pleased to announce

that the annual Homecoming Tournament will take place over two weekends this year for the first time. Ladies and seniors tournaments will be held March 8 and 9 while the Rack and Open Tournaments will be held March 15 and16. This will help to raise almost $6,000 extra in revenue offset-ting some rental losses this year which will allow them to keep public ice rental fees down.

Wiggins also requested that the current $2,750 surcharge paid by the municipalities of Bancroft, Hastings Highlands, Carlow-Mayo and Faraday to sit on the arena board be raised to $3,000.

Exotic animal bylawSpurred by the incident in 2013 in which two young

Toronto boys were killed by a snake that made it into their upstairs apartment from the pet shop below, Bancroft council decided to be proactive and consider introducing an exotic animal bylaw for the Town. Two local residents —one a snake owner and and another a large cat keeper — submitted concerns about the bylaw at the meeting that will be taken under consideration before the bylaw is passed. Mayor Jenkins emphasized that she has “no issue with allowing people to enjoy what they enjoy but we also want to prevent any unwelcome incidents. I have no idea what [kind of exotic pets] people have but behooves us to look at it. This is our attempt to be proactive.”

Chief reports on fire calls for 2013Fire chief Pat Hoover reported that there were a total of

59 firehall calls in 2013. There were six in December involv-ing medical calls and motor vehicle collisions but no fires — none of which happened over this Christmas holidays, “which is great. Last year we had a fire on Christmas Day,” said Hoover.

Bancroft is very luck to possess such an iconic venue for the performing arts and public events as the Village Play-house. Not only does it provide the community with a charismatic loca-tion for entertainment, it also provides local charities with a unique setting for fundraising, while at the same time giving people a place to socialize.

Recently at the Village Playhouse I had the chance to catch the highly-acclaimed documentary film Blackfish by Gabriela Cowperthwaite. Wherever the film is screened it seems to provoke a great deal of response from its audi-ences. It has inspired artists like the Barenaked Ladies, Wil-lie Nelson, the Beach Boys, Trace Adkins, Trisha Yearwood and many others to can-cel their performances at Sea World. The film has generated such a huge response publicly that members of the media have labelled this reaction to it as “the Blackfish effect.”

From the group dis-cussions that formed in the lobby at the Village Playhouse after the film was over, Bancroft appeared not to be immune to its effect. The lingering audience seemed motivated to share their personal thoughts and feelings on their own experiences of visiting marine parks and zoos.

Blackfish takes a deep look into the ethics of keeping such large and intel-ligent mammals as orca in captivity for entertainment purposes. Questioning

the necessity and safety of such a prac-tice, the film highlights a wide vari-ety of perspectives on the topic. Cow-perthwaite interviews everyone from marine park guests and staff, to the sailors and divers who have captured the whales. She also takes focus on the families of the whale-trainers who have been killed by whales in marine parks all over the world.

The testimonials given by these indi-viduals are all incredibly moving. For me though the most powerful words came from John Crowe, one of the divers who had been involved in an orca capture off the coast of Washing-

ton State. He said, “we were there trying to get one of the young orcas into the stretcher and the whole family was out there 25 metres away in a line communicating back and forth. You realized then what you were doing. I couldn’t take it. It was just like kidnapping a little kid away from his mother.”

I had never thought before how much effort it

would require to capture such a mas-sive mammal without killing it or your-self in the attempt. The way in which he described the whales’ reaction to the capture of their young, and the kill-ing of three members of their pod; as well as how this experience contin-ues to affect him, was heartbreaking. Rather than fleeing for the sake of their own personal safety the orcas chose to put themselves at risk of capture or death by remaining at the scene. Why

would they do this? Is it a sign of intel-ligence, or emotional attachment?

Lori Marino, a neuroscientist who studies the brains of whales and dol-phins, said that after comparing the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans of humans with those of ceta-ceans she is confident that these crea-tures have a sense of self, exhibit social bonding, and possess highly elabo-rated emotional lives, possibly even more complex than humans. Another orca researcher featured in the film, Howard Garrett, stated that whales and dolphins use vocalizations that resem-ble a level of diversity in speech com-parable to that of human language.

So, what does all of this mean? Do whales and dolphins only deserve their right to live wild and free because they exhibit signs of intelligence and emotional connection? Why is it that this film continues to inspire empathy in those who see it towards creatures held captive for entertainment pur-poses? The film demands that people

ask themselves these questions before they buy a ticket to enter a marine park.

For me, the power of this film resides in its ability to relate the audience directly to the experience of the whales living out their lives in a tank. If the audience member puts his or herself in that fish bowl the question of freedom versus captivity becomes much easier to answer.

The film was presented as part of the Toronto International Film Festi-val’s (TIFF’s) North of 7 Film Fest cir-cuit. This series of special presenta-tions raises funds for Hospice House North Hastings, and delivers top-notch entertainment to people in Bancroft on the second Tuesday of each month from Sept. to June each year.

Fifteen members of the Bancroft Field Naturalists’ Club spent most of Dec. 14 searching the survey area by vehicle and on foot counting all of the birds they observed.

In total they tallied 1,716 birds repre-senting 29 species from ruffed grouse to house sparrows. We were happy to see

large numbers of the common winter species seen at bird feeders such as blue jays, black-capped chickadees, wood-peckers and nuthatches. Fifteen people with feeding stations provided the club with counts.

This year we had the highest counts ever for wild turkey, northern goshawk,

golden-crowned kinglet and dark-eyed junco. We also had three rare species reported: great gray owl, bohemian wax-wing and northern cardinal.

Three other species were observed in the count week, but not on count day. These were: American black duck, bald eagle and pine siskin.

The clubs counts were added to the continental Christmas Bird Count data maintained by the National Audubon Society and Bird Studies Canada. This is the oldest citizen science survey in the world.

The current edition of the Old Farmers Almanac predicted a “long nasty 2013-14 winter” complete with bitterly cold temperatures, and plenty of snow. They claim their predictions to be 80 per cent correct, and this year it seems that way so far. Our North Hastings winter came early, there have been extended periods of bitterly cold temperatures, and there is plenty of snow.

The almanac further flags the first ten days of February for “stormy, heavy winter weather,” as well as mid-March, which is predicted to be “very windy and stormy.” We shall see.

Living on an old farm many miles from the closest village, I often imagine the road I use being pushed through the

bush, over rocks and across swamps a century ago. Hardly more than a glorified cow path, these roads were often impas-sible especially during the winter. At that time in our history, the landowner would be responsible for maintaining his part of the road, while at the same time try-ing to clear a bit of land to farm, and sim-ple buildings to house a family, and some livestock.

While working the farm, I regularly turn up bits and pieces of old farm mech-anization: horse shoes, old hardware and pieces of antique mowing and cultivation equipment, even a 1931 Ontario truck licence plate. There are thousands of tons of rocks moved into the fencerows, and if the rock was just too big, it was left and worked around. I still work around them.

My, how things have changed, and what we take for granted now.

One of the most interesting books I have read is entitled: Your Loving Anna – Letters from the Ontario Frontier. In 1972, Louis Tivy published letters written by his grandmother Anna Leveridge home to her mother in England, as well as text that he drew from the recollections of his grandparents.

Anna followed her husband David to a homestead in the backwoods of Hast-ings County in 1883. The homestead was in Wollaston Township near the Faraday Township line, east of the Lower Faraday Road. The hamlet of Coe Hill lay seven kilometres to the south if you took a shortcut through the woods, or about 10 kilometres if you followed the road.

David Leveridge worked in lumber camps during some winters, and also worked on building the new railroad into Coe Hill, living at a boarding house in town. At this time Anna, and their grow-

ing family stayed at home somehow sur-viving heavy winters and bug infested summers, growing gardens, and helping David clear land to farm. David would walk back and forth to Coe Hill to bring supplies and the mail home, and if he had a particularly heavy load to get, his son would walk to meet him halfway home to help with the carrying.

The letters written by Anna during that time describe in exquisite detail the daily life of an early North Hastings settler.

This remarkable book has been out of print for many years, but just recently it has been republished by Kirby Books (Bancroft) and is again available in print format at local booksellers, or as an e-book.

Very worthwhile reading, especially for one of those evenings during the first 10 days of February… if the Old Farmers Almanac is correct.

Adding Zumba to the activities offered at the Bancroft Walk for Memories was something new at this year’s successful fundraiser.

Zumba is a dance-based fitness pro-gram that calls itself “exercise in dis-guise.” Using international music and dance styles ranging from the salsa to hip hop and belly dancing, the program has been a big hit around the world.

Zumba is a great fit for those who are looking to stay physically fit and work their brains at the same time because the program involves cued movements that move the upper and lower body in differ-ent ways at the same time. The benefit of

having the movements cued in each class means that students work their brains in the moment but they do not have to remember any of the choreography from class to class. And while it might sound hard, students develop a comfort level with the class style and material often after only one class.

Zumba was also introduced at the Walk because of its fit with Alzheimer’s Disease and the role fitness plays with healthy aging. For those living with Alz-heimer’s Disease, keeping physically active is very important as it helps reduce stress and the more energy we expend during the day, the easier it is to sleep

at night. Because you do not have to remember any choreography, Zumba is a program that is accessible for those with cognitive impairments. And for those caring for someone with the diagnosis, it’s a great way to move, laugh, sweat and forget about stress for at least an hour.

Barb Shaw has been a licensed Zumba instructor for three years. Having worked as a yoga instructor and as a recreational therapist, she saw great value in the pro-gram and so she has been doing on-going training and expanding her teach-ing abilities.

“I love how people look when they connect with the music in a class and

when they start to let go and let the music move them,” Shaw says. “Not only do you see improvements in flexibility, coordi-nation, balance and mental abilities but you burn a ton of calories and flood your body with feel-good endorphins. Even trying it out at the Walk for Memories for 30 minutes resulted in sweat and smiles.”

Shaw teaches Zumba in Maynooth, Apsley and through Loyalist College in Bancroft. Classes are suitable for anyone who wants to start adding more physical movement to improve overall health and wellness.

To the Editor,

I’m not anti-Harper...I’m PRO Canadian...I dislike Harper through and through...but as a proud Canadian we have the right to call shenanigans on our government.

Muzzling our scientists is morally wrong as is about 90 per cent of every-thing that Harper is doing. Is he doing it legally? In a sneaky way, yes. Harper has 27,000 likes on his Facebook conserva-tive page...Neil Young has 2.5 million...I am guessing Harper doesn’t like that Mr. Young has a bigger audience than him-self.

Harper should be scared. Canadians are seeing through his “economic growth at all cost crap”. The majority of Cana-dians realize we cannot be shortsighted with regards to the environment.

We owe it to our kids to stop the tar sands. We have the ability to create more jobs with sustainable energy why aren’t we doing it?

One of my favourite comedians is George Carlin and he does a great bit on one of the most controversial words in the English language: the F-word. See, I still can’t write it in full. In that comedic bit he talks about how versatile the word is, how it can be an adjective, a verb, a noun, etc.

Very funny stuff, but there is another F-word that is equally used but fre-quently confused. That F-word is:

FAITH. In his introduction to his book The Dynamics of Faith, Theologian Paul Tillich writes: “There is hardly a word in the religious language, both theologi-cal and popular, which is subject to more misunderstandings, distortions, and questionable definitions than the word “faith.”

Today (the book was written in 1957) the term “faith” is more productive of disease than of health. It confuses, mis-

leads creates alternately skepticism and fanaticism, intellectual resistance and emotional surrender, rejection of gen-uine religion and subjection to substi-tutes. Perhaps it’s time we had a discus-sion about this word. Please join us on Wednesday, Jan. 29 at 7:30 p.m. at the Algonquin Cook House for Theology On Tap where we will dive in to the contro-versial topic of Faith.

We will pose questions like: Is faith

good for the human race? Can one attain grace without faith? Is faith always blind? Can you be religious without faith? What should we have faith in? Who knows what else we will be discussing, but you can’t find out if you don’t show up. So see you then.

its natural and cultural assets. Ideas such as developing the beach on the York River, building an earth science education centre, bringing in a large retail store, and creat-ing multi-use and fully accessible trail that loops along the Riverside and connects to the Eagle’s Nest Lookout and Vance Park were all brought to the table. The one thing that all of the discussion groups recognized as essential is better integration of public art was needed.

“We have an incredible wealth of artistic talent in this area, and it would be fabulous to have that sampled throughout town,” said local artist/musician Ron Kapitain.

“There could be larger installations like wood carvings and stone carvings, even art kiosks along the riverfront.”

Former Mayor of Bancroft Lloyd Church-ill was happy to see such a large, enthusi-astic crowd assemble for the public meet-ing. Taking part in many public meetings like this in the past, he said that they usually leave him feeling frustrated because of the inaction which follows. He described the energy in the room this evening as unique to any he had experienced before.

“I think this one is going to be different,” said Churchill.

“It seems like more people have realized that they can’t just sit back and complain if they don’t get out there and take part in the changes they want to see. Some peo-ple in town think that because their busi-

ness is doing fine they don’t have to be a part of this type of thing, but that’s not how it works.”

Churchill believes that there needs to be a mutually beneficial relationship among business owners in Bancroft if the town is to be successful in its efforts to re-brand itself as a “must see” year-round tourist destina-tion to visit or live.

“Some stores will stay open on holidays and in the summer and others will not,” he said.

“Those that are really trying to make the town vibrant by staying open to serve the

public are hurt by the ones that stay closed.

Friday nights used to be a busy night in town, but now people don’t know who is open and who is closed so they just stay away. One of the big hurdles we have to get through is uniformity of hours, so that peo-ple are in their cottages and in the outlying areas want to go to town because they know the stores will be open.”

As a business owner for more than 23 years in Bancroft, Churchill learned many lessons about doing business in town. Les-sons he feels need to be understood by the business community today

“Some days you made money, some days you didn’t, but you have to learn to take the good with the bad. Un-uniformity in busi-ness hours is really hurting us,” Churchill said.

“If we want to be a tourism community, which I believe we are, then we have to start preparing ourselves to serve the tourists when they are here. We just can’t say serve the tourists though we have to serve the locals too. Once we can get a start and do something then the momentum will build from there. Hopefully there will be some-thing put in place that will show us a real attempt to get moving.”

The executive director of the Bancroft Business Improvement Area (BBIA), Chris Drost, said they were also enthusiastic to see so many people taking an active role in their community. Drost said that getting an actual plan together is the first step in mak-ing something happen.

“It will ensure thoughtful development and use of these lands, ensuring there are many things to do, but also making sure green space is preserved,” said Drost.

“The exciting part about this initiative is that the plan is being developed by the community, individuals at the meeting and others who have already stepped for-

ward with ideas. It is very encouraging to see groups and individuals coming forward with ideas to improve our community and what we can offer both residents and the travelling public.”

Drost is pleased to see the consultants reaching out to the community for ideas on how to authentically redefine Bancroft.

“We know our community best,” Drost said.

“By collectively promoting all our exist-ing assets along the river, and developing some new ones, the BBIA anticipates that the area will become a destination in itself and a spring board to local businesses and to the many interesting activities and places across the region.”

The enthusiasm for Destination Bancroft was obvious by the level of participation in the room. Greg Webb, the general man-ager of the Bancroft and District Cham-ber of Commerce said their organization is thrilled to be a partner in the project, and is excited to take an active role in the trans-formation.

“The Chamber has great interest in this project as the Visitor Information Centre is centrally located within the hub of all of this proposed activity,” said Webb.

“Many visitors stop at the train station as their first point of arrival and orientation in the area. We look forward to the next steps and continued involvement as an impor-tant partner in tourism.”

In order to fulfill funding requirements the plan must be completed by mid-March 2014. For those interested in sharing ideas and suggestions on the Destination Ban-croft project contact the Deputy Clerk/Eco-nomic Development Coordinator for the town of Bancroft Daniel McCoy at [email protected], or at 613-332-3331 ext. 206.

A growing body of research suggests patients and practitioner attitude, intent and emotions can influence clinical outcomes.

An article titled “The Power of Suggestion – A Wild Card Across Spine Care” states, “The Power of Suggestion and corresponding patient/subject expectations regarding outcomes can have major effects in spinal medicine and spinal research … simply observing people, paying attention to them, or making them feel special can induce powerful effects.” Scientists are also studying the relationship between emotions, brain connectivity and pain. A study reported that were pain persisted, brain gray-matter density decreased. As reported in the U.K.’s The Telegraph: “The more emotionally the

brain reacted to the initial injury, the more likely it was that pain would persist after the injury had healed.”

A frequent question asked by patients and practitioners is, “To what extent do intent, attitude and touch affect health outcomes?” Although these issues may seem unrelated to the technical aspects of health care, a growing body of evidence suggests that such factors

may significantly affect the healing process. Attitude matters. Laughter and humour have been shown to have beneficial health effects as well. CBS News reported on a paper in Aging that examined personality traits in people 95 years of age or older. The researchers reported that most had positive personality traits; the majority were outgoing, optimistic and easygoing. “They [the seniors] considered laughter an important part of life and had a large social network. They expressed emotions openly rather than bottling them up.” Other investigators have found that dispositional optimism protects older adults from strokes.

Good reason to be optimistic from now on … Have a GREAT week!

HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK RELEASE DATE:

DEC 28TH-JAN 3RD,2014

PLAN NUMBER 5-4-657 CALIFORNIA STYLE BUNGALOW

In the secluded courtyard that separates the guestroom from the rest of this delightful California-style bungalow, the clever use

of potted plants could create an illusion of Tuscany or Provence.

The guestroom, with its own en-suite, fireplace and window seat, as well as lots of cupboard space, will dazzle out-of-town visi-tors. The space could perform equally well

as a studio or home office. Entry to the main living area is via the

courtyard and through a covered entry into a small foyer that flows seamlessly into the great room. The coat closet is located just beyond the dining room, around the corner

and close to a three-piece bathroom. The great room’s French doors open onto a covered patio, making an especially pleasant

spot for summertime entertaining and al fresco meals. In the cooler months, a corner fireplace will provide a cozy focal point for

gatherings of family and friends. The kitchen, with its U-shaped counter con-figuration, is located at one end of the great room, enabling the cook to feel connected to family life. A spacious pantry provides extra storage space, and windows over the double

sink look onto the courtyard. To the right of the foyer, separated from

it by an archway, is the dining room, with a built-in buffet and French doors onto

the courtyard. The master suite, which overlooks the back garden, boasts a sitting area with

windows on two sides, as well as a walk-in closet. A built-in wet-bar is another

welcome addition to this private enclave. In the en-suite, a soaker tub has a win-dow nearby, as well as a tiled surround.

The shower stall includes a seat, and double basins will ease the morning and

evening rush-hours. Bedrooms 2 and 3 flank the master suite.

While one enjoys a walk-in closet, the other has a view of the back garden. Linen and storage closets are nearby.

The laundry room can double as a mudroom, thanks to access from the two-vehicle garage. The furnace and hot-water tank occupy a small area in

the garage, where room could be found for a workshop.

Exterior finishes include stucco, board-and-batten siding, and painted trim, with decora-

tive cross-bars in the gables. An awning, shingled like the roof, shades the guest

room’s front windows. This home measures 55 feet wide and 78 feet deep, with 2,468 square feet of living

space.Plans for design 5-4-657 are available for

$758 (set of 5), $856 (set of 8) and $917 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Prior-ity 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 Vito`s Pizzeria Peewee Jets took on the Loyalist Jets for the first round of the playoffs. Friday night, they kicked off the series at home.

Four minutes and 14 seconds in, some give and go passing, ended with Brett Cooney putting the puck in the net, assisted by Christopher Poste. With 4:05 left in the period, Poste put one in the open corner, assisted by Jordan Sutherland.

Bancroft was up 2-0, heading into the second. Late in the second, Brett Cooney intercepted the puck, took it down and deposited into the net, a shorthanded and unassisted goal. Minutes later, Andrew Miller was tested, as Loyalist got a break-away, but Miller shut the door on them. Unfortunately, they scored seconds later and the second ended 3-1 Bancroft. Just under four minutes into the third, Carter

Thrower fired the puck from the blue line and Brett Cooney was there to bang in the rebound, also assisted by Jack Kauffeldt. The only goal of the period and the game ended 4-1 for Bancroft.

Saturday, it was game two at home. Six-teen seconds in, Jared McCaskie knocked one in during a scramble, assisted by Jesse Mountney and Brett Cooney. A little over two minutes later, Brodie Cooney ringed one off the iron and in, unassisted. Two and a half minutes later, Kauffeldt banged one in during a scramble, assisted by Mountney and McCaskie, and just like that Bancroft was up 3-0 after five minutes of play. Loyalist scored on the powerplay with 6:35 left, concluding the scoring in the first, with Bancroft up 3-1.

A minute and forty seven seconds into the second, Kauffeldt scored his second

of the game, assisted by Poste and Brett Cooney. Late in the period, Loyalist was awarded a penalty shot and Miller denied them with an impressive save. The second ended 4-1 in favour of Bancroft and after a scoreless third, that is how the game ended.

Sunday, the Bancroft Jets were in Loyal-ist. Nearing the halfway point in the first, Brett Cooney backhanded one in, unas-sisted, to give Bancroft a 1-0 lead, which they held onto throughout the rest of the period.

Two minutes and 19 seconds into the second, Bancroft scored again, with a pass from McCaskie to Kauffeldt, who fed it over to Riley Hunt, who put it home. A few minutes later, Loyalist took advantage of a power play to put themselves on the score-board.

The second ended 2-1 for Bancroft. Loy-alist added another power play goal early in the third, to tie the game.

Forty eight seconds later, Kauffeldt regained the lead for Bancroft, after he took the puck all the way down the ice and bur-ied it, unassisted. A lead they didn`t hold onto for long, as Loyalist tied it back up 32 seconds later. With 10:55 on the clock, Mountney scored to put Bancroft back on top, assisted by Kauffeldt. There were some scary moments in the rest of the third, but Bancroft held on to their lead, winning the game 4-3 and sweeping the series three games straight.

The Jets will face Lakefield in the next round, check paper for game times.

Vito’s Pizzeria Jets clean up in first round

It was another tough weekend of hockey for the parents, the fans and for the Atom Jets. The Baltimore Ice Dogs came to Ban-croft Saturday where the Jets were planning to even the series. Our boys were ready to skate against the much larger Ice Dog team. And skate they did.

The Jets opened the scoring while on the power play, Tanner Potts holding the line, down to Sam Coulas who throw it over to Colson West for a goal. While pinning the Ice Dogs deep into their own end, Tanner holds the line again keeping the pressure on. A hard shot and a deflection by Colson Jenkins puts the Jets ahead by two.

A slower start in the second period

allowed the Ice Dogs to pass easily through the neutral zone. The Jets defensive zone coverage was unable to clear the puck and it was 2-2 after two periods. A stronger start in the thirdperiod and a great dig by Keagan Anderson held the puck in the Dogs zone. Desi Davies snipes his first goal high glove side to put the Jets ahead once again. The Ice Dogs call a time out with only 1:58 min-utes left, pull the goalie for the extra skater with the face off deep in the Jets zone. The puck drops and is moved all over our end with one shot going off the cross bar behind goalie Phillip Cannon. The game ends ... but wait, the referees converse and allow the cross bar shot that was initially waved

off to count. 3-3 and its overtime. The Jets again came out flying pinning the Ice Dogs deep in their zone. Shot after shot and time and time again the Ice Dogs goalie holds the puck out. The Ice Dogs finally gain the Jets zone and bang one into our net. A tough loss but fantastic effort by the entire team.

The Atom Jets then travelled back to Bal-timore Sunday in a nasty blizzard with terri-ble road conditions. A late start and a team that did not find their legs initially showed up. The game quickly slipped away with the Ice Dogs taking a 5-0 lead after 2 periods. Finally mid way through the 3rd period, Trevor McDowell takes hold of the puck

in his own end, skates down and releases a shot on goal. Colson Jenkins in the right place bangs in the Jets first goal. The Jets score their second late in the 3rd period while on the power play, Trevor holding the line, over to Keagan Anderson who feath-ers a nice pass over to Desi Davies who fires one along the ice behind the Dogs net-minder. A strong third period for the Jets however our Jets fell 6-2.

The Bancroft Auto Body Jets would like to thank the fans of Bancroft for supporting them on Saturday and throughout the year.

The Jan Woodlands Bancroft Novice started their first round of playoffs up against the Campbellford Colts on Sat-urday. But first They got into playoff spirit by getting a bit colourful. Friday night Tammy’s Hair Care kept their doors open a little later than normal to turn the heads of the Nov-ice players red and blue. Thanks Tammy!

The puck dropped at 2 p.m. on Saturday and what a game. Game one of a best out of five series proved to be full of action. Shots were flying back and forth until one min-

ute left in the first period and James Armstrong got the solo goal giving the Jets the lead. The second period went scoreless, even after many attempts on goal. Then the third period was tied up less than three minutes in. The Jets fans were on the edge of their seats as the time ran down. As hard as they tried they couldn’t get the goal they needed and the game went into overtime. Then at 3:32 into over-time James Armstrong had the fans off their seats, he scored the winning goal on a breakaway giving the Jets a one game lead.

Sunday, Jan. 22 the Jets were on the road to Campbell-ford for game two. The first period didn’t turn up any goals for either team, and after a short break between periods, Brady Hunt comes up with a break away goal bringing the Jets to a one goal lead. Then a few minutes later the

Colts rally together and come up with the tying goal. The Jets went into the third period with a tie, then at 11:31 Brady Hunt scores, with the assist from James Armstrong, to give the Jets the lead. The Colts couldn’t catch up to the Jets. At 4:01, Camden Burke intercepts a pass from the Colts and breaks away to score, giving the Jets a 3-1 lead. The Jets didn’t stop there, with 2:15 left the Jets were still putting the pressure on when Dylan Brownlee scores, with the assist from Brady Hunt and Megan Jenkins. All of he Jan Wood-lands Novice Jets played amazing in these first two games. Way to go Jets! The Jets will be facing off for game three, here in Bancroft, this Saturday, Jan. 25 at 2 p.m. See you there!

Jan-Woodlands Jets lead series with Campbellford 2-0

The Bancroft Motors Midget Jets played the first two games of the OMHA ‘CC’ provincial play- down last week-end in their quest for the John Slobodnik trophy, named for a past commissioner (1981-83) of the International Silver Stick.

On Saturday, Jan. 18 the Jets hosted the Newcastle Stars at the North Hastings Community Centre. Captain Connor Brown broke a scoreless deadlock at the 10-minute mark of the first period assisted by Ian Coulas. The Jets had an opportunity to increase their lead but failed to score on numerous powerplays. Ironically, Newcastle scored at the

start of the second frame after the Jets took a double-minor minute penalty. Later in the frame, Tanner Brady scored what turned out to be the winning goal when he broke down the wing and fired a wrist shot past the Stars net-minder. From that point, the Jets took command. Winger Caleb Trotter, who played his best game of the season, put a magnificent pass onto Tanner Shatraw’s stick on a two-on-one rush and Shatraw one-timed it high into the Newcas-tle net for a 3-1 lead. In the first minute of the third, Jack-son Wiltshire banged home a rebound off Matt Kavanagh’s point shot and a few shifts later, Brady set up Brown with a

goalmouth pass for Brown’s second goal of the night that capped a 5-1 win for the Jets.

In the second game Sunday in Newcastle, the Jets skated to a 4-0 victory. Goalie Gordy Armstrong made exceptional saves to preserve the shutout. The goal scorers were Brown with two, and Wiltshire, and Coulas with one each. The Jets can eliminate Newcastle from the play-down with a victory on Friday, Jan. 24 at the North Hastings Community Centre. The game time is 7 p.m.

Bancroft Motors Jets off to a good start in playoffs

The municipality of Hastings Highlands has announced that per his employment contract, council has severed its employment relationship with Craig Davidson effective Jan. 9.

Davidson was the CAO/treasurer and has been with the municipality since June of 2005.

“He served our community well over the past eight and a half years and council wishes him the best in his future endeavours”.

The municipality has also announced the retention of A and B Municipal Solutions on a part time basis to oversee its operations and support council in its municipal govern-ance.

A and B Municipal Solutions is owned and operated by Arie Hoogenboom, a senior municipal manager with over 30 years of experience as a project manager, clerk, CAO and city manager in several Ontario municipalities.

“We believe Mr. Hoogenboom will provide experienced staff leadership and council advice and will help fill the gap created with the recent departure of our CAO/Treasurer” noted Mayor Vivian Bloom.

Hoogenboom hails from Rideau Lakes and is expected to be working three days per week in Hastings Highlands. His municipal career includes assignments in Prescott, Smith Falls, Dryden and Sioux Lookout.

“I am excited to be asked to join the team in Hastings Highlands serving as their interim CAO. It is an opportu-nity to support the delivery of effective local government” said Mr. Hoogenboom.

Mr. Hoogenboom will commence employment as of Jan-uary 21, 2014.

A group of local Moms are getting together to plan a girls “Tween party.” The evening is planned for girls in grades five through seven on Saturday, Feb. 1 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the L’Amable Bible Chapel. This evening is planned with the intention of showing our young ladies that they every-one is beautiful in their own unique way.

“We feel there are too many negative messages that these girls are getting through social media about what real beauty looks and acts like,” said Tammy Schutt, one of the mothers organizing the gathering.

The evening will be filled with music, games, crafts, spa treatments, and a cooking class. It will wrap up with Jenn Martin and Jackie Libby speaking briefly about the role media has in giving our young ladies, and the false message of what beauty is and by confirming that inner beauty is so

much more important. The group would like to extend an invitation to all young

ladies living in the Bancroft area to join in the fun this even-ing. The event is free but girls will need to register by Jan. 27 to ensure you receive a free gift bag.

For more information, or to register call Tammy Schutt at 613-332-6808, or email Renee Robinson at [email protected] . Free Transportation for the gathering will also be available by calling Bancroft Community Tran-sit at 613-332-2732, or visit their website at www.bancroft-communitytransit.com

Deadline for booking transportation is also Jan. 27.
