Join in on Easter food drive challenge Help needy in Port Hope community, win prize
JEANNE BENETEAU [email protected]
PORT HOPE -- Port Hope’s Penryn Village neighbourhood challenges other commu-nities to do them one better in the upcom-ing Penryn Village Easter Food Drive Community Challenge for the local food banks. Last Christmas, Penryn Village residents put out the call to collect food for the food banks. In less than an hour, the neigh-bourhood collected over a tonne of food and $1,500 in donations for Fare Share. “It is really simple to run a food drive and we are pleased to help,” said Duncan McK-innon, one of the Penryn Village owners. “We e-mailed and sent flyers to each of the residents, set a date to pick up food and/or donations and when we went around to collect it last time, we were astounded.” The neighbourhood is poised once again to lend a hand to the less fortunate throughout the region in time for Easter and has thrown down the gauntlet to other communities to beat its total.
KAREN LONGWELL / NORTHUMBERLAND NEWSCOBOURG -- George Leger, executive director for the Northumberland Fare Share Food Bank, left, and Duncan Mackinnon, Penryn Park Easter food drive organizer, challenge other communities to raise the most food during the Easter food drive this month.

COBOURG -- Federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May made a brief visit in Cobourg on Friday, April 8, where she raised the spir-its of those already on her side, and encour-aged others to vote for change in the upcom-ing federal election on May 2. “If they can do it in Cairo they can do it here,” Ms. May announced to a sea of sign-carrying supporters at Cobourg’s VIA Rail train sta-tion, where she stopped on route to Montre-al, as part a whistle-stop tour from Toronto.
In June 2006, Ms. May stepped down as executive director of the Sierra Club of Can-ada, a post she had held since 1989, to run for the leadership of the Green Party of Canada. In August 2006, she was elected the Green Party’s ninth leader. “Elizabeth May is the reason, more than anything, why I got into politics,” Northum-berland Quinte West Green Party candidate Ralph Torrie told a crowd of about 40 sup-porters, including author Farley Mowat and long-time environmental activist Tom Law-son, who waited for Ms. May’s train to show up.
Mr. Lawson, who has long been calling for a coalition-style government said, “Even Eng-land has a coalition government. It’s the only kind of government that can run in the best interests of the country.” While the party still struggles to capture enough votes to gain a cabinet seat, Mr. Law-son said, “Every vote is a victory.” According to Mr. Torrie, the federal gov-ernment needs to change its whole politi-cal approach to embrace compromise and cooperation. “Coalition is what democracy is all about,” he said, adding the Green Party campaign is a campaign to restore democracy. According to the party’s campaign litera-ture, the Green Party of Canada is committed to economic policies that ensure prosperity and security for Canadians in real terms.
“You cannot be spending money on oil and gas companies when utility bills are skyrock-eting,” Mr. Torrie said to loud applause. “We need to shift taxes toward the good things, not the bad things.” Ecological fiscal reform (tax shifting) is key to the Green Party platform: reducing taxes on jobs and income, while taxing things like cancer-causing chemicals, greenhouse gases and air pollution. The party also promises to reduce green-house gas emissions six per cent below 1990 levels by 2012 (the first phase Kyoto target), and 30 per cent by 2020 to avoid “tipping points” in the atmosphere from which civili-zation might not recover.

“We thought why not present a challenge across the region and see if we can real-ly deliver this Easter? Those folks at Fare Share certainly have no shortage of peo-ple needing food,” said Mr. McKinnon. “The more we give, the more food people have during this time.” For the Easter food drive, Penryn Village has teamed up with Port Hope’s Abato’s Restaurant, which is offering a grand prize of a traditional Italian feast for 25 for the most successful food drive. “We are so pleased that local community
groups are stepping up to help,” said Fare Share executive director George Leger. “It makes it easier on all of our volunteers when others get involved and Penryn is just one example of how a small group can make a huge difference.” The food banks distribute food to 2,600 people per month, or more than 31,000 people this year. The banks need com-munity support to collect the tremendous amount of food required to feed those less fortunate, said Mr. Leger. Any community can participate and Fare Share defines community as a workplace, church, school, team, club or neighbour-
hood. Any group of two or more makes a community and Fare Share believes these community food drives help build com-munity, said Mr. Leger. Fare Share, with the help of the Penryn group, has created a how-to guide, down-loadable posters and promotional aids to get a food drive started. The food bank will pick up food from the Easter Challenge on April 16, 23 and 30. Arrangements can be made by e-mail at [email protected] or call the office at 905-372-5308. For more information:

Port Hope challenged during Easter food drive
Three men, onewoman chargedwith possession, trafficking
COBOURG -- Four Northumberland res-idents have a date in court on drug-relat-ed charges after a noisy muffler brought them to the attention of a Cobourg police officer. On April 11 at 4 p.m., police offi-
cers stopped a car on Ontario Street because of a noisy muffler and a passenger not wearing his seat belt. While talking to the vehi-cle’s occupants, officers said they saw what was suspected to be marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the vehicle. As a result of further inves-tigation, Cobourg officers seized 22 ounces of suspect-
ed marijuana, several hun-dred dollars in cash, a hash pipe, Ziploc bags, elec-tronic scales, three cellular phones and other drug par-aphernalia. A Port Hope man, 20,
a Cobourg woman, 18, and two Cobourg men, aged 18
and 19 have been charged with possession of a controlled sub-
stance for the purpose of traf-ficking.

With all the candy and sweets consumed around Easter manypeople also may find themselves treated to a toothache. Thegood news is that there is a dental specialty dedicated todiagnosing and relieving tooth pain - Endodontics.
“While not all toothaches are alike, all tooth pain is treatable,”says Dr. Rita Kilislian of Kawartha Endodontics. “today’sendodontists use techniques and treatments that are not onlyeffective, but increasingly painless.”
Here are the four most common causes of toothaches and thesolutions Kawartha Endodontics recommends:
Problem: Sensitivity to hot or cold. You’re experiencingdiscomfort for a few moments after coming in contact withhot or cold foods. This generally doesn’t signal anythingserious; it could be a small amount of decay, a loose fillingor minimal gum recession that exposes small areas of theroot surface.
Solution: Try using a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth.Also, because brushing sideways wears away exposed rootsurface, brush up and down with a soft brush. If this doesn’twork, see you endodontist. One last thing: If you recentlyhad dental work done, it may have inflamed the pulp, whichare the nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue inside atooth, causing temporary sensitivity. If the problem persistsafter two weeks contact our office.
Problem: Pain when biting. You feel a sharp pain when bitingdown. This could mean decay, a loose filling, a crack in thetooth or even damage to the pulp tissue inside the tooth.
Solution: Call our office. Dr. Rita Kilislian will clean outthe damaged pulp and fill and seal the remaining space,
a treatment commonly known as root canal therapy. Inaddition, lingering pain after hot or cold foods is usually aindication of pulp damage and may mean a root canal isnecessary.
Problem: Sensitivity. You feel constant and sever toothpain and pressure, your gums are swollen and your tooth issensitive to the touch. You may have an abcess, a pus pocketin the jawbone caused by an infection inside the tooth.
Solution: In this case, book an appointment with ouroffice for an evaluation and treatment to relieve the pain andsave the tooth. Dr. Kilislian says if someone recommends atooth extraction always get an opinion from a specialist insaving your natural teeth- an endodontist.
Problem: Pressure. You’re experiencing a dull ache andpressure in the upper teeth and jaw. This can be caused bya sinus headache or by grinding your teeth (often in yoursleep), a condition also known as bruxism.
Solution: For a sinus headache, see your physician. Forbruxism, or pain that is severe and lasts more than severaldays, call our office for an evaluation.
Of course, it’s better to avoida toothache in the first place.The best way to minimizeyour chances of experiencingtooth pain is through regularbrushing, flossing, and dentalcheck-ups. But when tooth paindoes occur, remember you canvisit Kawartha Endodontics.
Ouch! My Tooth Hurts! Common Causes ofToothaches and Effective Remedies ~ By Dr. Rita Kilislian
Report highlights problems with accessto care across province
MOYA DILLON [email protected]
NORTHUMBERLAND -- A new report exploring issues with Home Care across the province highlights many challenges facing the local service. The Ontario Health Coalition singled out government funding and access to home care services as the two main problems fac-ing the system in the report ‘Still Waiting: an assessment of Ontario’s home care system after two decades of restructuring’, released on Monday, April 4. The Northumberland Hills Citizens Health Coalition supports the report’s find-ings, advocating for more funding and sup-port for local home care services. “We need more government funding for home care to be viable in this area,” said Peggy Smith, co-chairwoman of the coali-tion, noting that Northumberland Hills Hos-pital’s new Home First program won’t be effective without adequate access to home care. “The Home First philosophy essentially means instead of waiting in a hospital bed, which takes up a lot of money, patients
would go home and any health care deci-sions would be made while they recover there. This is a positive move in terms of not backlogging acute beds, but you need home care in place for them to get out of those beds. Currently there’s still people on the home care wait list, there’s just not enough home care hours in the community.” The report highlighted lack of funding and inconsistencies in access, such as the fact that for more than 12 years provincial audi-tors have reported some Community Care Access Centres, through which home care is co-ordinated, are receiving up to twice the funding of others. In addition, a lack of standards for access to care have resulted in huge wait lists persisting for more than a decade, totalling 10,000 people since 1999. These issues show little signs of slowing as provincial funding for the system has steadily decreased from 5.5 per cent of all health care spending in 1999 to less than 4.5 per cent in 2010. “Access to home care in Ontario is not improving,” said Natalie Mehra, director of the Ontario Health Coalition. “Huge wait lists, totalling more than 10,000, have persisted for more than a decade and we found that home care funding is actually shrinking as a percentage of health spend-ing even though hospital beds continue to be cut and closed. Patients face long waits, inequitable and inadequate access to care, and user fees. Access to information and
democratic accountability are worse than ever.” Community Care agencies throughout the Central East Local Health Integration Network were provided $1.2 million. Of that amount, about $150,000 was earmarked for Northumberland for the fiscal year that ended March 31 and Trish Baird, direc-tor of Community Care Northumberland, is assuming the same overall amount will continue for 2011-12. “It doesn’t sound like a huge amount of money but sometimes you can do a lot,” she said.
“Just being in there and making sure peo-ple know about what services are available. Even if they don’t need the enhanced ser-vices we can get them signed up with other regular services.” Clients must pay for Community Care pro-grams but if they are assessed and found to be in need of “enhanced services” following discharge from hospital, they can receive
them free of charge for up to six weeks. From there staff try to transition them into regular services, which include help with everyday needs such as meal delivery, homemaking, transportation and more. “If they’re safe at home and can manage with a few hours of help a day or a week or whatever they require, it certainly is a lot less expensive and better quality of life than sitting in a hospital bed (where) you may not know anybody,” Ms. Baird said. Ms. Smith notes that the need for enhanced services and funding may be higher in Northumberland due to the aging population within the county. “It certainly affects our elderly popula-tion because there’s such a large base here compared to other communities,” she explained. “This is an aging community and home care access is not consistent and there seems to be more funding in other areas. It seems to be a problem all over the province, but here specifically I just don’t think they have enough money to fund the staff they need for the number of clients.” In terms of the future, Ms. Smith said the most pressing need is for the system to receive more funding. “We just need to send a strong message to our newly elected government and hopeful-ly they can find it in their hearts to get us the funding we need. Without funding our pro-grams aren’t viable.”

I have seldom read such pure nuclear propaganda. Having sat through five days of those hearings, I got a very different picture. The panel had to absorb a flood of conflicting evidence from over 35 groups with a vested interest in the project, from over 50 grass-roots organizations opposed to it, and from over 50 concerned citizens. The vast major-ity of presentations were highly informed. Virtually all evidence in favour of new reactors (and reflected in your editorial) focused on short term economic growth: more jobs, more industry, more GDP, and faith in technology to solve whatever prob-lems might arise. I heard no suggestion of concern about our grandchildren, and too much of what Churchill would have called terminological inexactitudes. I call it baf-flegab. Those opposing the project were, by contrast, farsighted and objective in coun-tering claims the industry is cheap, safe, clean, and efficient. It is clearly none of these. Far the most damning evidence against the project concerned its waste manage-ment. Claims of safe, long range storage in ‘Deep Geological Repositories’ clearly are as full of holes as they were 60 years ago. Waste is the Achilles Heel of the nucle-ar industry. We have opened a Pandora’s Box.

FEDERAL ELECTION Make animal welfare an election issue To the editor: Animal welfare is important to Canadians and we need to address it. I am one of the 95 per cent of Canadians who, according to a recent HarrisDecima poll, believe animal pain and suffering should be reduced as
much as possible. I find it strange and sur-prising that Canada still uses animal cru-elty legislation first enacted in 1892, when our views on animal cruelty as with other issues like the environment and wom-en’s rights have changed so dramatically. While other countries update their animal protection laws, Canada clings to a Victori-an-era law. I want to hear candidates’ views on how they plan to improve the welfare of ani-
mals. Will they commit to updating our anti-cruelty laws? What are they doing to ensure the humane treatment and trans-port of farm animals? How are they going to protect Canada’s wildlife? That’s why I used the website www.vote-foranimals.ca to send a letter to all candi-dates in my riding asking their views. I’m a Canadian voter and animals matter to me.
Dianne Swift, Cobourg ENVIRONMENT Response to Earth Hour To the editor: Re: News letters to the editor expressing disappointment at the lack of response to Earth Hour. There should be no surprise here. It is not as much apathy but more the fact that, as a political event rather than a practical issue, people do not take Earth Hour seriously. An item of green politics does not have much in common with the daily routines of farm-ers, police, the medical industry or regular working people. We prefer to choose inter-ruptions to our routines on our own. We are naturally aware of our resourc-es and how to be stewards of it. We do not need politicians and their political agenda to tell us how we should conduct our lives. Green politics is not necessarily for nature, but for the moral and political control of it. If you have the time and inclination, liv-ing a back-to-nature lifestyle is commend-able. Wood stoves, candlelight and away from the influences of TV is something we

To hear area residents tell it, the only peo-ple anxious for another federal election are the people who live and die on a daily basis inside Ottawa’s national political bubble. Here at home, there’s not much of a driving interest among everyday voters to head back to the polls for the fourth time in seven years, and especially for what is expected to be a repeat election day per-formance, namely a federal Conservative minority government. That’s contrary to what the pollsters might be suggesting, but is a notion that appears to have taken hold of average voters strug-gling to pay higher prices and taxes, who worry about job security and who have far more pressing issues confronting them in
their lives. For many, the May 2 national election -- with a cost of approximately $300 million -- will do little to change Canada’s political landscape. It will be deja vu all over again, as the immortal Yogi Berra once said. The majority of the 140 people in the audience of an all-candidates meeting held in Cobourg this week were mostly partisan, if button-wearing is any indica-tion. Those people who spoke to The News while out for a day of shopping this week shared their opinions freely, although nearly as many were reticent to provide an opinion. Perhaps they felt uninformed, or were too busy, or plain just weren’t inter-ested.
Distilled, the varied opinions boil down to a collective, weary resignation, if not outright election fatigue. To address that, the Liberals, Conser-vatives and NDP must do more to inspire voters, to share a clear vision of the future under a government led by their party, to give them clear alternatives to the status quo. Television attack ads serve a purpose in vilifying one’s opponent, but do nothing to inform the electorate. Campaign bro-chures offer little more than tired old party slogans and empty rhetoric. Too many candidates spend their time telling us why we shouldn’t vote for the others. Northumberland residents, like most of the rest of the country, have had their fill
of living in the present while our politi-cal leaders keep looking to the past. They want a government that will go forward with bold ideas, honest and ethical repre-sentatives, and who will embrace the dear-ly held traditions of our democratic insti-tutions. They want strong fiscal managers and a government that sees compromise as a strength and not a weakness. What they don’t want is more political gridlock and jockeying, do-nothing agen-das, and mud-slinging representatives. We encourage our readers to participate in our online Facebook federal vote poll - which you will find at Facebook.com/Northnews. Let us know what you think.

WE ASKED
I get great joy out of knowing that I may not be a teacher or someone that works directly with kids, but I help make a dif-ference in their lives every time they come through that door.” A parent who helps at a student nutrition program in Cobourg made this comment, and it speaks volumes about volunteerism in Northumberland County. Making a dif-ference is a major reason why hundreds of people volunteer each day at nutrition programs offered at public and separate schools in Northumberland. These programs, supported by Nor-thumberland Food For Thought, are often referred to as ‘breakfast clubs’ or ‘snack’ programs. These programs are free and student participation is voluntary, and they also ensure students who come to school hungry get the food they need to succeed. Research shows that students who are well-nourished can better focus on their studies, are better behaved, and retain more of what they learn in school. Poverty is just one of many reasons why local stu-dents come to school hungry.
On an average school day, more than 3,200 students use nutrition programs in Nor-thumberland. That works out to near-ly 589,000 snacks or breakfast servings dished out by volunteers every school year.During National Volunteer Week, April 10 to 16, it is timely to recognize the valuable work of the parents, students, community members and school board staff who make student nutrition programs happen. These are the volunteers who prepare and serve food, promote the programs, help with fundraising, keep track of records
and do much more. Because government funding only covers some of the costs for student nutrition programs, volunteers and school communities have to fill the gap, and they do so in a big way. Northumberland Food For Thought esti-mates that volunteers with student nutri-tion program in this area provide nearly 50,000 hours of time every school year. Put another way, that adds up to five-and-a-half years of volunteer time. Canada’s former Governor General Romeo LeBlanc once noted that: “(If ) a child’s stomach is empty, everything else is secondary. Before developing a thirst for knowledge and a hunger for learning, one must satis-fy the body’s thirst and hunger. This is the challenge faced by our society.” In Nor-thumberland, it is nice to know people are taking up the challenge to feed young minds and bodies, for the better.

There comes a time in every man’s life when he has to stretch his wings, and leave the safe confines of the family nest -- but for me, it’s time to return home. For most of my adult life, I have called my parents’ house ‘home’. For the last year and a half, I have lived with my girlfriend and her family of two dogs and three cats. I have allergies by the way. Space is limit-ed. The dogs and I take turns showering, and the cats get first crack in the bathroom every morning. But everyone is happy, and comfortable. Last June, Elysia and I welcomed home our baby boy Landon. The time had come to look for larger grazing grounds. A trip to the bank ensued. Sitting across a desk from someone laughing for 30 minutes is not fun. So no mortgage for me. Sorting out our finances, and planning long-term, we decided to save for a down-payment. However, with bills and a baby, we would have a downpayment by 2056. An offer from mom and dad Rellinger, a storage space, and a moving truck later, I am headed home -- with Elysia, Landon and animals in tow. Mom and Dad are sacrificing much, and so are we, but with their open arms and help, Elysia and I will have enough for a downpayment in a year. We will have our own space, our own room, and so will Landon. And no one is happier to have her grandson at home than my mom. If she’s not playing with him, she’s feeding him. I’m sure he will be happy too. The same offer was extended from Ely-sia’s mom and stepdad. But they live in Kinmount. Living at home has its perks. The dogs will have a yard and I will have Dad to watch the Jays game with. Elysia would rather watch paint dry, as she puts it. There is nothing wrong with moving home, espe-cially when in need. That’s what parents are for. We can’t thank Mom and Dad enough. Sorry, have to go -- cat’s all done in the bathroom.

COMMUNITYPort Hope seniors’ centre in dangerous location To the editor:
I’m concerned that the all too frequent derailments could eventually spell disas-ter for my good friends at the Ruth Clarke Centre. What if the next derailment was to deposit 20 or more propane tankers on the centre and suddenly bring their recre-ational activities to a deadly end? The centre is in a highly vulnerable loca-tion, 10 metres from the CN and 60 metres from the CP lines and the derailments are getting more frequent and threatening. The most notable was in Melrose, 100 kilome-tres to the east where in 2003, 21 tankers of explosive propane derailed and five rock-eted into a nearby field where they burned for three days. In 2005, 37 cars derailed at Brighton and just one year ago, three loco-
motives and nine freight cars jackknifed on the edge of the Pickering GO station, mak-ing six derailments in Durham Region in six years. When I first brought my derailment con-cerns to the attention of MP Rick Norlock in 2008 he assured me his government regulates the transportation of dangerous goods such as propane. A year later anoth-er source in the MP’s office again assured me that the government monitors and reg-ulates the safety of this system. The question is... when does the frequen-cy of derailments reach such a critical level in his riding to move Mr. Norlock to begin his monitoring and regulating? Until the government acts, I suggest the Tories use a small portion of the $30 billion it intends to spend on fighter jets to buy Port Hope’s seniors a safer recreational centre. The purchase of one fewer fighter jet could easily provide the funds which could save Canadian lives along this dangerous rail corridor. Even an aspiring 2010 Port Hope munici-pal council candidate failed to recognize the derailment danger when his action plan for seniors would have them moved to the former Canadian Tire store, just four tanker cars away from its present location.
Bill Tuer, Cobourg
Reckless damage to cars To the editor:
Cobourg residents beware. There are drivers out there who believe they can hit your car, do damage and drive away. On Wednesday April 6, 2011, around 11:50 a.m., I parked my car behind the Tim Hortons on William Street, Cobourg. I parked in the corner facing the cars exit-ing from the drive thru. At about 1:20 p.m. when I went back out to my car, I noticed a large dent in the right front fender. No note was left by the person respon-sible which really surprised me. The esti-mated cost to repair the damage is $866. My insurance deductible is $1,000. I am a senior living on a pension. I know this has happened to others and that I am not alone in feeling very angry. What has happened to taking responsibil-ity for your actions and common decency? If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem. Please, if you see this happening to someone, take a minute, write down all the information and give it to the police or someone. Take pictures with your phone, anything to catch these cowards.

COURTICE -- Residents of Clarington, Pickering and Port Hope are being lied to about the safety of nuclear radioactivity and plant emissions, an anti-nuclear group told the federal panel evaluating the environmen-tal assessment on the new reactors proposed for the Darlington plant. “The citizens have been, and are being, misled by the very government agencies that we should be able to rely on for our informa-tion,” said Holly Blefgen, from Port Hope’s Families Against Radiation Exposure. On Thursday, April 7, FARE presented its experiences with Cameco in Port Hope as a cautionary tale against the nuclear industry and spoke against the planned expansion at the Clarington plant. “We have felt compelled to address this joint panel review because of what our com-munity had been exposed to for over 70 years ... We offer a human perspective to this joint panel review,” said Ms. Blefgen. “For the past six years, FARE has been the main organiza-tion raising questions about nuclear safety in Port Hope. Evidently, the factual information we have provided has been labelled misin-formation.” The nuclear crisis in Japan, brought on fol-lowing a massive earthquake and tsunami, has added to the group’s concerns about nuclear power in Ontario. Ms. Blefgen coun-tered the opinion previously told to the panel -- that a similar disaster could not occur here. She said earthquakes can happen anywhere and the main damage to the Fukushima station was caused by power failure, which can be caused by other natural disasters or human error.
“The fact that we here are considering the refurbishment of a reactor leaves me sick inside,” said Ms. Blefgen, who asked if back-up generators at Darlington are tested regu-larly. Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission officials told the panel that existing Ontario plants and the design for future plants would be able to last considerably longer during a blackout than the Fukushima station. Dr. Jack Vecchiarelli of Ontario Power Gen-eration said the new build designs have, in addition to the regular standby diesel genera-tors, a dedicated set of station blackout diesel generators “in the highly unlikely event” that the normal standby diesel generators are not available. “We’re talking a matter of at least several days just from passive means alone,” said Dr. Vecchiarelli. FARE recommended the federal panel find OPG unprepared and deny the license application. Ms. Blefgen asked the panel to support a non-partisan royal commission of inquiry into the future of nuclear power in Canada, a moratorium on new licences for nuclear power plants and a solution to stor-age of nuclear wastes. “If the CNSC and OPG do not have answers to the issue of disposal, why are we proceed-ing down this path? It violates the precau-tionary principal,” said Ms. Blefgen. The group also wants full funding for an extensive health study of the citizens in nuclear host communities and a complete study of the Fukushima disaster and the con-sequences. The three weeks of hearings ended Friday, April 8. If the federal government accepts its findings, the panel could decide whether to issue a licence to prepare the site before the end of the year.

COBOURG -- It is not too late to register to play ball. According to the Cobourg Baseball Association’s registrar, Karen Kileeg, there are a few openings still available at the mosquito and peewee levels for boys and girls born from 1998 to 2001. CBA treasurer Stanley Isherwood expects with the registrations the league has received so far there will be only one all-star team for the rookie and mosquito levels. According to Isherwood, the league will have a house league team at every level, except for the youngest level ‘Blast Ball’, which will have two. If more players don’t come forward for the bantam level (born in 1996/97), there will be no team, Isherwood said. Players who’ve already registered will hear from their coaches before the end of April, and prac-tices will get underway in mid-May. On-line registration is also available until the end of April at www.cobourgbasebell.ca. A late registration fee of $25 does apply. For more information contact Karen Kileeg at 905-373-0210.

Funding will support street-level health care and more
NORTHUMBERLAND -- The Northumberland Unit-ed Way wrapped up its annual general meeting with some news from the Province. The organization held its AGM Thursday, April 7 in Port Hope, where MPP Lou Rinaldi was on hand to announce the organization had been awarded grant of $91,400 from the Ontario Trillium Founda-tion to support its ‘Finding Hope Together’ project. A collaboration between the United Way and the Green Wood Coalition, the project provides inte-grated services such as street-level health care and community meals to marginalized residents in Port Hope. The United Way also took the opportunity to thank outgoing board president Tom Behan for all his hard work during the year, and to recognize out-going board members Leslie Orpana, Brice Davis, Sharon Holmes and Paul Racine for their long-standing commitments. New members were also welcomed, including

Capitol Theatre among successful applicants
NORTHUMBERLAND -- It may not be LottoMax but a number of Northumberland-area not-for-profit and charitable organizations have hit the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OFT) grant jackpot. On April 6, the OTF announced community grants for 428 Ontario agencies and organizations at the close of the 2010/11 fiscal year totalling $29.5 mil-lion. Among local recipients is the Capitol Theatre Heritage Foundation, which will receive $91,200 to repair the roof and purchase an HVAC unit, to help make Ontario’s only atmospheric theatre more energy-efficient and a sustainable part of the arts heritage in Port Hope and beyond. The Cobourg and District Historical Society Archives also made the cut, with a $20,300 grant over two years to increase knowledge of and access to local history by helping student and veteran partnerships to collect, tran-scribe and create text and audio-based oral histo-ries for public education and research. Other successful grant applicants include: Rebound Child and Youth Services Inc., $118,700 over two years to pilot an innovative collaborative service delivery model for youth at risk of violence in the Northumberland region; Four Counties Addic-tion Services Team Inc., $142,700 over two years to support the Peterborough Drug Strategy Coali-tion to create a comprehensive drug strategy for the region; Habitat for Humanity of Northumberland, $119,500 over two years to hire a fundraising coor-dinator and purchase software to enhance the orga-nization’s fundraising capacity to increase the num-ber of Northumberland homes it builds and involve more community volunteers; and the Township of Alnwick-Haldimand, $24,600 to expand circulation materials for various age groups and people with special needs, increase the number of public use computers and establish an early literacy station for young learners in the Centreton area.

GILMER’S
Town committeerecommends changesto increase visibility
JEANNE BENETEAU [email protected]
PORT HOPE -- Port Hope’s deputy mayor hopes the latest proposed revamp of a downtown courtesy crosswalk will finally put the much-discussed issue to rest. At the April 12 public works committee meeting, members recommended public works staff install bump-outs at the Wal-ton Street and Cavan Street crosswalk, based on a public works staff report rec-ommendation. The proposed bump-outs will mini-mize the road width to improve pedes-trian movement and may improve safety through both traffic calming effects and shorter walking times, engineering ser-vices technician Jeanette Davidson said in the report. Installation costs are estimated at $12,000 and will be paid for from the
2011 accessible sidewalk ramp budget. Council will vote on the recommenda-tion at its April 19 meeting. Deputy Mayor Jeff Gilmer said the proposal is a good compromise, refer-ring to Mayor Linda Thompson’s pro-posal for an $80,000 upgrade to make the crosswalk’s design similar to that of the Walton and Ontario streets intersec-tion, which found no takers at the April 3 committee meeting. “The visibility is improved (with the proposed bump-outs) which was a safe-ty issue,” he said. “I would hope this is where it settles.” The staff report included a pedestrian count at the crosswalk, taken on April 4 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Dur-ing this time, 164 pedestrians used the crosswalk. Ms. Davidson noted it was a rainy, cold day and staff anticipate with more pedes-trian traffic downtown during summer, especially during special events, more people will likely use the crosswalk. The installation of bump-outs will not require removal of any parking spaces; rather, the downtown will get two addi-tional ‘motorcycle or bicycle only’ park-
ing spots on the south side of Walton Street west of the bump-out. Since the bump-outs will restrict truck turning movements, a sign will be need-ed for southbound trucks on Cavan Street, explained Ms. Davidson. In 2010, the municipality painted white lines across Walton Street to indicate the area was a courtesy crosswalk following a requisition from Port Hope’s accessi-
bility advisory committee. Since then, many residents have noted the crosswalk is unsafe for drivers and also puts pedestrians at risk. In addition, some councillors have said the fluorescent yellow signs, indicative of a pedestrian crosswalk, don’t exactly match the heritage-inspired colour pal-ette of Port Hope’s Heritage Business Improvement Area.

2012 marks 175 years since Town incorporation
MOYA DILLON [email protected]
COBOURG -- The Cobourg Museum Foun-dation is planning a year of celebrations for 2012, and is asking Cobourg council to get behind it. At the April 4 meeting, Stanley Isherwood, treasurer of the museum foundation, asked council to proclaim 2012 a year of celebra-tion to mark the 175-year anniversary of the incorporation of the Town of Cobourg on July 1, 1837. “In 1987, the 150th anniversa-ry of that event was celebrated in great style for a whole year, a celebration which many of you will remember.” Mr. Isherwood said. “It is now almost 25 years later and time for another celebration of our great town.” Mr. Isherwood noted 2012 would be spe-cial for another reason in that the museum foundation’s first project, the Sifton-Cook Heritage Centre, is scheduled to open for exhibits and presentations and that anni-
versary celebrations would dovetail nicely with the town’s emphasis on heritage. “We are vitally interested in the history of our town and in preserving not only its old-est buildings but also its sense of history,” he said. Mr. Isherwood said the foundation would be prepared to take on active role in the cel-ebrations, with events such as dances, re-enactments, museum-type exhibits and a heritage garden already in the works. The foundation would work in concert with a larger anniversary working group. Councillor John Henderson, who also acts as council representative to the Cobourg Heritage Committee, said he would bring the idea up for discussion. “I certainly will be bringing this forward to the heritage committee and we will do everything we can to support your initiative, it’s a worthy one.” Although council did not pass any motions regarding the request, Deputy Mayor Stan Frost, who was presiding over the meet-ing in the absence of Mayor Gil Brocanier, assured Mr. Isherwood council would con-sider it.

Cobourg Dragon Boat Club adds new boats, programs
MOYA DILLON [email protected]
COBOURG -- Northumberland residents looking to get out on the water this sea-son will have more options thanks to new programs from the Cobourg Dragon Boat Club. After 12 years of operating dragon boat programs in the Cobourg Harbour, the club added some new boats last year thanks to a $30,000 donation from the Cobourg Rotary Club, a grant from the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit and sup-port from local organizations including the United Way, Legion, Oddfellows and Rebekahs. “We had been looking at expanding for years, so we got a committee together to look into getting more paddling options for the people of Cobourg,” said Jeremy Fowlie,
head coach for the club. “We experimented with it last year, but this year we’re really expanding it and try-ing to get it off the ground.” The club launched its new Sprint Division in 2010 with an open house event where people were invited to try the new array of boats, which includes Olympic-style racing boats such as one-, two-, and four-person kayaks, canoes, paddle boards and outrig-ger canoes. The goal of the new division is to increase interest in the sport, attract local youth with more recreation oppor-tunities and increase use of the Cobourg waterfront. “This is a sport that, for kids, if they work hard they could move up to the local, pro-vincial or national levels. Who knows?” Mr. Fowlie said. “Paddling really is a lifetime sport. We have people from 25 up to 75 still compet-ing. Another goal of ours is for our paddlers to eventually become coaches, and that in turn creates jobs in Cobourg. But the expansion is really about opportunity, peo-ple can come out and try something new that maybe they’ll enjoy, and current pad-dlers can go to other boats and try different sports.” The club isn’t just for competitive types. It also offers recreational programs for those who just want to get out and enjoy
the water. “There’s a competitive aspect, a team aspect and a social aspect, so it’s up to you what you want to focus on,” Mr. Fowlie said, noting it is a great youth activity. “It’s a sport where kids become comfort-able in the water and can learn water and boat safety but it also gives them some-thing to do. It can be an individual or a team sport and it hits that target age where kids start to drop out of other team sports. This gives them something new to try and something they can excel at.”
Youth programs include FUNdamentals, Race Development, War Canoe and a new Summer Sports Day Camp, while adult programs include both a Sprint Kayak/Canoe and War Canoe Master Class as well as recreational and competitive options. Dragon Boat programs are available in rec-reational/fitness or competitive formats.

Baskets of Hoperaises funds to address patient needsat Northumberland Hills
MOYA DILLON [email protected]
COBOURG -- Entering its ninth year, the Kennedy family’s Baskets of Hope fundrais-er continues to honour the memory of their mother and reward the excellent care she received at Northumberland Hills Hospital. The annual fundraiser supports patient care and equipment needs at the Cobourg Lions and Lioness Chemotherapy Clinic and the Palliative Care Unit at NHH in memory of Liz Moore. “This is a project my family and mom put together because she felt she got some wonderful care,” said Danielle Kennedy, who runs the fundraiser along with her two sisters, three aunts and grandmother. Ms. Moore was diagnosed with breast can-cer in 2001 and received treatments at NHH and Kingston General Hospital before she passed away in 2004. The family founded Baskets of Hope together in 2003, collecting donations from individuals and businesses to create prize baskets that are raffled off. “The passion we have for this is all driven because of my mom,” Ms. Kennedy said. “Not a year goes by where we’re selling tick-ets that we don’t have someone telling us what a remarkable person she was, or what a difference she made in their lives.” Ms. Kennedy praised the support of the local community and local businesses over the years, who have contributed to a total of $86,500 raised so far. In the past, money raised has gone to purchasing CAD pumps, supporting NHH’s MRI drive and also sup-porting upgrades to the hospital’s CAT scan. “When we started this we didn’t think it
would be a long-term thing, it was more about raising awareness for the clinic,” Ms. Kennedy said. “We are just overwhelmed and pleased, to say the least, with the response we’ve had. I think when all this support started coming in we realized that here’s somewhere we can make a difference.” This year’s raffle includes some big-tick-et items such as a barbecue, a 42-inch flat screen television and a weekend for two at the Golden Beach Resort. “The support is really great. We’re working toward an overall goal of $100,000 raised, so it looks like we might be able to accomplish that by our tenth year. Then we would look at doing something different, but still in memo-ry of my mom,”Ms. Kennedy said. Baskets of Hope tickets will be available for sale on Saturday, April 16 at the Port Hope Metro and Gilmer’s Home Hardware, Satur-day, April 23 at Northumberland Mall and Saturday, April 30 at No Frills. Tickets are also available from Lakefront Utilities in Cobourg or the NHH Foundation offices until Sunday, May 1.
For more information: CALL 905-372-6811 (foundation office)

KAREN LONGWELL / NORTHUMBERLAND NEWSGARDEN HILL -- Artist Elizabeth Vercoe, at home in her studio, is one of 27 artists in the third annual Ganaraska Studio Tour in Port Hope and area on April 16 and 17.
VISUAL ARTS
All eyes on Ganaraska Studio Tour Thid annual art tour allows Port Hope area residents a chance to visit artists and see where they work
KAREN LONGWELL [email protected]
PORT HOPE -- Last year at this time Garden Hill area artist Elizabeth Vercoe found herself stuck in England waiting for a flight home for the Ganaraska Studio Tour. The Eyjafjallajökull volcano erupted in Ice-land in March of 2010 and a cloud of ash can-celled flights in Europe. Ms. Vercoe was on a 25th anniversary wed-ding trip with her husband. She made it home the day before the tour with stories to tell and an inspiration for a series of ash cloud pieces, she said. “I arrived home so jet lagged but people were so sympathetic,” she said. This year, on April 16 and 17, Ms. Vercoe will join 27 Port Hope area artists for the third annual Ganaraska Studio Tour. The painter and mixed media artist is still working on the ash cloud series and a stone hedge series, she said. The work is part of a change from realistic watercolours to more abstract pieces in acryl-ics and collage, she said. “My art is constantly evolving,” she said. Ms. Vercoe said she stains paper with water-colours for collage pieces, a process she is very excited about. Ms. Vercoe loved drawing as a child but trained in opera singing before switching to the visual arts. She worked professionally as a singer and toured England and Wales as a guest solo-ist with the Canadian Orpheus Male Choir in 1984, she said. When she settled with a family, the visual arts suited her lifestyle. As co-chairwoman of the Ganaraska Studio Tour, Ms. Vercoe is pleased to bring together a group of artists for a compact tour. “This tour is so intimate, you can do this whole tour in one day,” she said. The 27 artists are in 21 locations as some are sharing viewing space, she said. The tour is an opportunity to meet locals artists and see where they work. There are photographers, potters, woodworkers, print-makers and many other visual artists on the tour. The tour runs Saturday, April 16 and Sun-day, April 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ms. Vercoe notes there is an error in the stu-dio tour map. The studios for Mary Talbot and Rosemary Freeman are east of County Road 10 on the 7th Line, not west. For more information on the tour visit the website at www.ganaraskastudiotour.ca.
FILM
Capitol Theatre features dazzling bouquet of flics PORT HOPE -- The Capitol The-atre presents a fine bouquet of films to complement the spring season. First up is ‘Black Swans’ on April 19. The film tells the story of a bal-let dancer Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) who wins the lead in Swan Lake and is perfect for the role of the delicate White Swan -- Princess Odette -- but slowly loses her mind as she becomes more and more like Odile, the Black Swan. The film earned Ms. Portman an Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role. The movie for April 21 is ‘Rabbit Hole’, which tells the story of life turned upside down for a happy couple after their young son dies in an accident. The film is based on a play by David Lindsay-Abaire, and stars Nicole Kidman. Next on the menu is ‘The Illu-sionist’ on April 26. The movie, which captured the Best Animated Feature Film Oscar, is the story of a French illusionist who finds himself out of work and travels to Scotland, where he meets a young woman. Their ensuing adventure chang-es both their lives forever. April winds down with ‘Waste-land’ on April 29. The film is a social documenta-ry based around the lives of gar-bage pickers in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and a man by the name of Vik Muniz who creates art out of recycled material. Admission to films is $8. All films start at 7:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.capitoltheatre.com.

COBOURG -- A new biography of British poet Edith Sitwell is caus-ing a stir in Britain for something very Canadian -- its politeness. Cobourg author Richard Greene embarked on his new biography of the colourful British personal-ity, known for her outlandish cos-tumes and eccentric social perso-na, with the simple goal of high-lighting her talent as a writer. “People seemed mad that I gave her a fair shake,” Mr. Greene said of the number of British reviews that have been published since ‘Edith Sitwell: Avant-garde Poet, English Genius’, was released across the pond in March. “We all love the English, but they certainly love their malice. I felt she had suffered enough from that habit of English writers. No one had ever stopped to say here is a really wonderful mind and a very nice person.” The biography tells the story of Ms. Sitwell’s early life, born to eccentric titled parents who rev-elled in pointing out her flaws, and her growth into an impor-tant and well-reviewed poet and writer who presided over a liter-ary salon that included the likes of T.S. Eliot and Aldous Huxley. “I’m a poet myself and I’ve always been interested in the lives of poets,” Mr. Greene said of his interest in Ms. Sitwell. “She just seemed a really daz-zling, multi-faceted person, but also very tragic. At the heart of her
story is an unrequited love story for a gay man who was also men-tally ill. In old age she just became so crushed by her experiences that she became an alcoholic and that wore her out.” Mr. Greene began work on the biography more than 20 years ago, collecting material, doing research, and finally writing the life of Ms. Sitwell. Mr. Greene said he hopes the book will find a sim-ilar readership here in Canada as it did in Britain. It was released on Saturday, April 9. “We’ll just see how it goes,” he said of his expectations. “It’s a pretty British topic, but since it’s funny I’m hoping peo-ple will respond and it will find a readership here too.” A recent recipient of the Gover-nor General’s Award for poetry for his ‘Boxing the Compass’ collec-tion, Mr. Greene said he is looking forward to a chance to focus on something different for a change -- fiction. “I’m experimenting with a novel,” he said of his future plans. “It’s something I’ve always want-ed to do so we’ll see how it goes.”

PUBLIC NOTICE - ROAD CLOSURE
Elgin Street Reconstruction - D’Arcy Street to Conger Avenue
Commencing April 18, 2011 - 8 Week Duration Please be advised that Elgin Street, from D’Arcy Street to Conger Avenue, will be closed to through traffic commencing April 18, 2011 for a period of approximately 8 weeks. The road closure is required in order to permit the replacement of sanitary sewers and watermains on Elgin Street between D’Arcy Street and Conger Avenue plus reconstruction of the roadway. During this time, D’Arcy Street will remain open to traffic, and the existing sidewalk on the south side of Elgin Street will remain open to pedestrian traffic. Access for local traffic by residents to homes within the construction zone will be maintained during the road closure period. However, you may experience some inconvenience from time to time as construction proceeds. Because traffic will be detoured from Elgin Street, there will likely be increased traffic on D’Arcy Street during the road closure period. We apologize for any inconvenience during construction and thank you for your patience. A key plan of the project limits is highlighted below:

Story and photos by Jim Robinson
Metroland Media
Carguide Magazine
MIAMI, Fla: On the drive back from Key West to Miami, my co-driver looked over and said, “you know, the Koreans get it”.He was talking about how Kia has emerged, not just as a major automaker in its own right, but in how it anticipates and then gives consumers what they want.The 2011 Optima tested here is a perfect example.Classified as a mid-size sedan on the outside, it is considered a large car on the inside by the government. But instead of sacrificing trunk space to get that bigger backseat legroom, the new Optima has one of the biggest trunks I’ve seen in the segment.
Another area where they get it is in terms of drivetrains.Somehow, they must have foreseen gasoline prices nudging $1.30/litre as this is being written. You won’t find a V6 or even big-bore four-cylinder in the new Optima. They make do with a 2.4-litre or a 2.0-litre inline four-banger that use leading-edge technology in every way. Both are variable valve twin cams with gasoline direct injection (GDI).The 2.4-litre produces 200 hp and 186 lb/ft of torque, more than the 2.7-litre V6 in the Magentis which is replaced by the new engine. The 2.0-litre may be small in terms of displacement but huge in terms of power with 274 hp and a whopping 269 lb/ft of torque thanks to its twin scroll turbo. All that torque comes in as
Stylish and easy on gas, the 2011 Optima continues Kia’s ability to make consumers take notice of the Korean automaker.

the perimeter of its surface on the Z06. The wheels are specific to the respective Corvette models, including 18-inch/19-inch for Coupe, Convertible and Grand Sport; and 19-inch/20-inch for Z06 and ZR1.Magnetic Selective Ride Control, the world’s fastest-reacting suspension and a technology advance initiated by Corvette, is included on all Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette models.The Centennial Edition also features special badges that signify Chevrolet’s racing history. A graphic logo featuring an iconic image of Louis Chevrolet appears on the B-pillars, the center caps of the wheels, and the center of the steering wheel. The seat headrests also carry an embossed centennial logo.Aficionados will note one other small detail: The historic crossed flags badge contains a small adaptation, with “100” in place of the traditional fleur-de-lis symbol, only for the Centennial Edition.
To mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chevrolet brand, the 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette will be produced with a host of special features.

low at 1,750 rpm and, get this, while running on regular grade gasoline.Kia embraced GDI early on because it gives more power but also with less fuel because the gas/air mixture can be more precisely controlled.The 2.4-litre has a fuel consumption rating of 8.6/5.7L/100 km (32/49 mpg) city/highway while the 2.0-litre returns 9.1/5.7L/100 km (31/49 mpg) city/highway. Except for the base model, all Optimas get a six-speed Steptronic automatic transmission with an “Eco” button on the steering wheel. When engaged it smoothes out throttle response and shift points for improved mileage.I could not believe, that at 55 mph with the Eco on, the 2.0-litre was showing an average consumption rate of 7.4L/100 km or 38 mpg, something that would have been unattainable just five years ago in any turbo.The third area where the Koreans get it is style. They understand that people want affordable, fuel-efficient transport but no longer looking as drab as an old bar of soap.I’m afraid I’m one of those journalists who has jumped on the Peter Schreyer bandwagon in making him look that the styling Messiah who lead Kia out of the design wilderness, but the proof is in the pudding.Schreyer, Kia’s chief designer, is the head of large team with design studies in Korea, Germany and the U.S. and one of his team is Enrique Giner, interior design manager of the styling studio in Irvine, California.Giner was at the press launch of the Optima in
Miami, and he explained how the now famous “tiger mouth” grille motif and the overall styling cues is constantly changing so they don’t become stale or locked in.One example is the character line that runs from the front headlights and arcs backward high on the belt line. First seen on the current Sportage, it is more pronounced on the Optima with Giner noting “this is something we are spending a lot of time on”.Recently, the new Optima received the prestigious Red Dot award as judged a panel of international designers. The Red Dot is considered the Oscar of style and function. Giner’s team was responsible for the interior and it is much richer in look and feel than Kia interiors that have gone before with liberal use of soft touch materials. “French stitching” on the panels and dashboard gives an added degree of elegance.As mentioned, the 2011 Optima is a big car with a long wheelbase that translates into a refined ride especially great for highway and long-distance driving.But this car also handles too. If you opt for the turbo version known as the SX, there is a beefier suspension that turns the Optima from a family hauler into more of a sports sedan.Kia let us loose at Homestead-Miami Speedway in the same cars we drove to the track, not race-prepped specials with shaved tires and suspension tweaks.On the high banking of the 1.5-mile oval, the SX was smooth as silk and surprisingly easy to steer even with the weight of four people on board.
Later on my own, I put the coals to the SX and that’s where that 269 lb/ft of torque really showed itself.Coming down off the oval, the brakes bit in smoothly responding to whatever amount of pressure I put on them.Setting up to clip the apexes was fairly easy but exiting a corner with any kind of speed relative to the steering angle saw the traction control step in, bringing me down to a snail’s pace. I thought about switching it off, but decided driving the car as it sat was a truer form of test.In either turbo or non-turbo guise, the Optima steers where you want it to go although I found the power steering on the highway a little heavier in feel than I would have liked. On the track it was a different story with the feel just right for the conditions.But overall, either Optima rides and handles
like it was made in Europe not Korea.Pricing starts at $21,995 for the base LX, the only model with a manual transmission, a six-speed in this case.Standard equipment on the LX is extensive with power locks/doors/windows, air conditioning, Bluetooth connectivity and every driver and passenger safety feature available including electronic stability control and Hill Start Assist.The LX Auto with Eco and LX+ start at $24,195 and $25,595 respectively.Next are the EX ($26,695), EX+ ($28,095, EX Luxury ($30,595) and EX Luxury Navi ($32,095) that added increasing levels of content.Lastly the SX starts at $33,695. With its knock out looks and frugal gasoline consumption, the 2011 Optima really does fit with Kia’s slogan of the “Power to Surprise”.
N O R T H U M B E R L A N DOPTIMA from page 1
The use of soft touch materials and little extras like French stitching on the trim panels gives the 2011 Optima a look and feel of a much
more expensive car.

fit in with overall shape.

From Under Your Feet
to Covering Your Engine - Ford Finds New Use for 4.1 Million Pounds of Recycled
CarpetMetroland Media
Carguide Magazine
The carpet underfoot in homes sometimes ends up in strange places, and now Ford’s efforts to use sustainable materials in its vehicles have landed carpet in another unique spot – the cylinder head covers on some Ford engines.Even more impressive are the benefits it has for the environment.During 2010, the use of EcoLon material, a nylon resin made from 100 per cent recycled carpet, saved more than 4.1 million pounds of carpet from landfills, the equivalent of nearly 154 football fields. It also amounted to recycling more than 985,000 yards of carpet and reducing the consumption of more than 430,000 gallons of oil.The EcoLon material from Wellman Engineering Resins offers an eco-friendly, high-quality alternative to typical cylinder head covers and is one more example of Ford’s continued dedication to finding renewable material solutions for use in its vehicles. The cover is the first automotive product of its kind manufactured from post-consumer recycled nylon. To repurpose nylon, Wellman grinds used nylon carpeting into fiber and recaptures the material through a patented, proprietary process. The resulting product is a high-quality nylon resin, which Dana then uses to mold into cylinder head covers through its injection-molding process.
Ford is using recycled carpet in a number of ways, not just as engine cylinder covers.

N O R T H U M B E R L A N D
By Neil Moore
Metroland Media
Carguide Magazine
Scanning the Jeep lineup, you may scratch your head at the company’s decision to offer two flavours of essentially the same vehicle at similar price points.The Compass and Patriot, which arrived in 2006-2007, are low-cost entries to the crowded compact SUV segment. The Compass, with its ‘baby Grand Cherokee’ crossover styling, and the boxier, more rugged looking Patriot start a mere thousand dollars apart at $16,495 and $15,495 respectively.That’s pretty cheap for a new vehicle of any kind, but keep in mind that with Jeep, ‘base’ really means base. The entry Compass and Patriot are both front drivers, free of such basic amenities as air conditioning, power windows and keyless entry. Add in a few comforts and the MSRPs rise quickly which is a tough sell against vehicles like the well equipped Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson.But opt for four-wheel-drive and choose the Freedom-Drive II package, and you have a couple of “trail rated” off roaders that can tackle some pretty tough terrain. These low-end Jeeps may face stiff competition from an abundance of stylish and well-priced urban sport utes and crossovers, but they also have the advantage of a 70-year history of building proven military and recreational off-road vehicles.My tester for the week was the Patriot ‘North Edition’ with four-wheel-drive. This is the mid-point of three trim levels that begin with the Sport and end with
the Limited. All are available with FWD or 4WD.Standard on all 4x4 models is Freedom-Drive I, a slip-and-grip, full-time four-wheel-drive system that sends torque to the rear when the front wheels begin losing traction. It’s available with either a five-speed manual or continuously variable transmission (CVT).It also provides a 4WD lock mode, which divides torque equally between front and rear axles for when you really get bogged down, such as in deep snow or sand. Lock mode works at speeds under 15 km/h.My vehicle came with the Freedom-Drive II package, which for an additional $1,050 makes the Jeep Patriot a Trail Rated 4x4. This includes a 4WD off-road mode, tow hooks, skid plates for the fuel tank and transmission/engine oil pan, brake lock differential, oil cooler, 140-amp alternator, fog lamps, and P215/65R17 OWL all terrain tires on 17-inch aluminum rims.The upgraded CVT, which adds $1,750 to the base price (instead of $1,400 for the lower-tier CVT), includes a low range that engages when off-road mode is activated. This best-in-class 19:1 ratio is ideal for crawling over rocks and logs, made even easier with the 2.5 cm (1 inch) increase in ride height for this year.Hill-descent control, which is also part of the package, helps you to descend steep grades under control.‘Trail Rated,’ in case you’re unaware, means the vehicle meets the company’s standard for traction, water fording, articulation, maneuverability and
ground clearance. The Patriot may not measure up to the legendary Wrangler, but still provides nine inches of ground clearance, a 29-degree approach angle, a 33-degree
departure angle and a 23-degree breakover angle. Good for at least moderate off-roading.The trail rated Patriot also has added body sealing
Jeep’s Least Expensive SUV Still a Capable Off Roader
More rugged looking than its Compass sibling, the Jeep Patriot includes essential elements like the seven-slot Jeep grille, along with true off-road capability. As tested, this ‘trail rated’ Patriot
includes tow hooks front and back, skid plates and a full nine inches of ground clearance.

and high-mounted drivetrain vents for up to 19 inches of water fording ability.Jeep certainly doesn’t go overboard on powering this vehicle. The Patriot features a standard 2.4-litre World Engine that generates 172 hp and 165 lb/ft of torque, putting it right in line with four cylinder competitors like Tucson and Sportage, but marginally behind Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.Consequently, I wouldn’t describe performance as heart stopping, but in today’s world of a buck-twenty-plus per litre of gas, who’s complaining? Six cylinder-powered compact SUVs, like the RAV4, are more fun on dry roads, but less amusing at the gas pump.Numerous engineering improvements, including an increased rear sway bar diameter, increased vehicle damping and better rebound in shocks and struts, have improved ride and handling. Steering is more responsive and has more feel, and there is now additional sound deadening.Despite this last enhancement, moderate road and wind noise still penetrates the cabin, as does the characteristic moan from the CVT.Chrysler has improved the interiors for all their products in 2011, and the Jeep Patriot is no exception. Upgrades include new soft touch front-door trim panels; a new steering wheel with integrated controls for audio, cruise control, phone and other functions; backlighting of door switches, locks, windows and mirror controls, and more.There’s still plenty of hard plastic, but the chrome rings around the air vents and knobs, leather-wrapped steering wheel and nice fabrics are welcome progress.And there’s plenty of room for the driver and passengers, who can expect loads of head and legroom in both front and rear. Seats are comfortable and supportive, with available heating up front.Cargo room is also abundant, and its figure of 1,775 litres doesn’t do justice to the cavernous area opened up when you drop the 60/40 rear seats and fold the front passenger seat forward. To keep things in place, there are four cargo tiedowns in rear.Although my tester was not equipped with appropriate tires, I did take the Patriot for some easy bushwhacking. The melting snow and mushy ground kept me from really putting it to the test, but at the same time I felt it was capable of far more.After all, Jeep doesn’t take its ‘Trail Rated’ designation lightly.Fuel economy, as posted, is a relatively frugal 9.9/7.5L/100 km (city/highway), but my average in mostly urban driving was in the high 12s.As for safety, all Patriots are equipped with front and side curtain airbags, with front seat side-mounted airbags optional. Also standard are electronic stability control with traction control, ABS brakes, electronic roll mitigation and brake assist. And it has even earned a “Top Safety Pick” award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.The Patriot starts out as one of the least expensive compact SUVs on the market. But once you option it up to become a comfortable, convenient, fully off-road capable vehicle, the price climbs sharply to 30-grand and beyond.Is it worth the price? Well, that depends on your desire to leave the asphalt.But keep in mind that if you do, the competition thins rather quickly, making the 2011 Jeep Patriot worth a serious look.
