CP Holiday Train rolls into Brighton By Ray Yurkowski

News - Brighton - The 16th annual Canadian PaciďŹ c (CP) Railway Holiday Train, a musical fund raiser on wheels, rolled into Brighton last week. Attendees at the event were asked to bring a cash or non-perishable food donation for the Brighton Fare Share Food Bank and they responded in a big way. Even CP Rail climbed on board for the local cause. Upward of 1,500 pounds of food and more than $1,200 in cash donations were collected at the event to help keep the shelves stocked during the holiday season. Added to that was a $4,000 cheque from CP Rail. In addition to lending their support to local food banks, this year, Canadian PaciďŹ c is encouraging food banks and donors to commit to their healthy donations challenge. With heart disease becoming one of the most rapidly growing health challenges in North America, CP has dedicated millions of dollars toward supporting research and promoting awareness through the challenge. Donors Local residents were treated to a free concert last weekend by Canadian singer-songwriter Roxanne Potvin and pop-rock band Odds as the CP Holiday Train rolled into Brighton.

Another traffic concern raised at police services board

By John Campbell

News - Brighton - Problems with trafďŹ c are a recurring issue at the Brighton Police Services Board, and the latest, touched upon last week, has to do with vehicles travelling along Harbour Street. Northumberland OPP Detachment manager Staff Sergeant Phil Pike reported a resident was upset with drivers “not yielding to pedestriansâ€? forced to walk along the side of the road because there are no sidewalks in that area. “I realize there’s not a lot of room down there for sidewalks,â€? Pike said, but “that’s the type of issueâ€? the transportation committee he advocated be created can study to try to come up with a recommended solution. If the municipality were able to put in a sidewalk along one side of the road, “it might help things

down in that area, because we do tend to get a lot of concern down there from residents and pedestrians,â€? he said. “It’s a rough place to walk the dog,â€? said police services board secretary Diane Allore. Mayor Mark Walas said forming a transportation committee “will be addressedâ€? in January. “It makes sense to have one,â€? he said. Inspector retiring Pike announced that detachment commander Inspector Doug Borton, who’s been off on sick leave, has submitted his letter of resignation, effective December 31. He will begin his retirement just shy of having completed 33 years of service with the OPP. His role is currently being ďŹ lled by Acting Inspector Rob Kobayashi. “There will be a competition for a new detachment

commander, probably by the spring sometime,� Pike said. The county’s police services boards “will have input in that.� Long-time board member thanked Board member Mike Vandertoorn, who’s been a member of the board since 1998, was thanked for his years of service by Pike on behalf of the detachment. He was “a great stakeholder� who “worked well with us� and brought forward issues that needed attention which he helped resolve, Pike said. The former long-time council member was defeated in the October 27 municipal election in his bid to become mayor. Walas echoed Pike’s comments on behalf of the municipality, saying it “really, really appreciate[d]� what he had done for Brighton, and board chair Chuck McLeod offered more of the same.

left 13 people dead. Scott’s family subsequently established a non-profit organization, Rachel’s Challenge, “dedicated to creating safe, connected school environments where learning and teaching are maximized,” says its web site. “We motivate and equip students to start and sustain a chain reaction of kindness and compassion that transforms schools and communities.” Scott “participated in random acts of kindness and she promoted inclusiveness on a regular basis; that’s how she lived her life, and they wanted to carry on her legacy,” Gilbert said. The local FOR group decided to hold the coat drive after students attended a workshop in Cobourg that looked at issues such as poverty. The final day of the campaign coincided with the school’s annual 30Hour Fast that raises

money for the African projects, to make the link between being generous in providing help to those overseas and giving aid to those here at home, Gilbert said. “It was so nice to bring in the coats for kids program,” because “it completely fits in with all the things we’re trying to do [in] Africa,” ENSS principal Jeff Kawzenuk said. “Even in our own backyard there are lots and lots of less fortunate families. “Our kids work hard and have big hearts,” he continued, noting ENSS consistently places in the top three schools across Canada year after year raising money for the Terry Fox Foundation. “Our kids work hard and have big hearts,” Kawzenuk said. “You do feel good when you give.”

News - Brighton - East Northumberland Secondary School’s first winter coat drive, Cold Hands, Warm Hearts, was “pretty successful,” says child and youth worker Denise Gilbert, who helped a student group organize the event. About 125 coats had been collected the day before the event was to end November 27 with people coming in from the community to pick up much-needed winter apparel. The clothing was made available for free but donations toward projects involving schools and students in Tanzania supported by ENSS were accepted. The coat drive, which began November, was initiated by the school’s Friends of Rachel (FOR) group, which takes its name and inspiration from Rachel Scott, the first victim of the two teens who went on a shooting rampage in Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, in 1999 that

Brighton council vows to listen council, but that’s not going to stop them News - Brighton - There’s a wide vari- from communicating with each other ety of backgrounds on the newly elected and members of the community. Mayor Mark Walas said all council elect met prior to the inaugural meeting and swearing in of each member, and he’s very positive this council will work well together and communicate with each other as well as the community. “Through the election results, our community has spoken loud and clear,� Walas said The price you during his inaugusee is the price ral speech Monday you pay! night. “I’m well aware of the expectations our citizens are placing on OVER THE ROSSMORE all of us on council BAY BRIDGE 613-966-6656 to work together to 5567 Hwy 62 S make Brighton an By Joyce Cassin

And he’s already getting things moving. “As a result of this election, you told us you want your tax dollars used more effectively, provide services that you need, and you want to see huge improvement in the level of customer service,â€? Walas said. In order to achieve those goals, he’s asking his new council to include a full municipal service and organizational review in the 2015 budget. On top of that, he wants to get to the bottom of any issues with the wastewater treatment facility. “Public health and safety is paramount in any community,â€? Walas said. “I will be asking council to include a municipal class environmental assessment in this year’s budget, to identify the appropriate next steps to provide corrective measures and long-term solutions for our wastewater treatment facility.â€? Walas said he’s full of conďŹ dence for this term, and Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, appeared to agree. Macmillan stepped up to the podium to wish the new council all the best, but ďŹ rst he mentioned the long and gruelling past four years on Brighton council. He said it was painful for the citizens, and especially for Walas. “The message has been clear that they want you to lead council,â€? Macmillan said. “And after four years, you’re ďŹ nally going to get your opportunity.â€?

for six years since moving to terms of conservation area Brighton, I too have noticed a usage, it’s a case of the tail drastic reduction in walkers in wagging the dog. Unlike families with the last year. It seems that in small children, mushroom hunters, cyclists, and joggers, who tend to be in the park during the months when the footing is sure and the weather clement (and who represent a very small percentage of users), dog walkers are there rain or shine, walking the trails every month of the year, through the snow and ice of winter, the mud of spring and the deerflies of summer.

And I would guess that 95 per cent of those allow their dogs to walk off-leash. The only ones that don’t are those that can’t trust their dogs to come when called, or aren’t comfortable having them loose. It’s been my experience as well that most dog walkers are quite attuned to making sure their dogs aren’t a nuisance to others, and will leash them when there is any doubt. And as Madeline said, the trash left in the woods and the damage done to trees is not a result

of people walking their dogs. I haven’t run into anyone enforcing the off-leash rules yet, but have heard from a number of people of the aggressive, rude behaviour of the rule “police.” It has cast a noticeable pall on what should be an enjoyable activity, and is completely unnecessary. I’ve thought a lot about this situation on my walks in the last year. It’s truly a shame that the complaints of the few can result in the spoiling of good, healthy activity for so many. But this seems to be the way our society is going. So I have a suggestion. Why not make the off-leash rules contingent on the time of year? Let’s allow off-leash walking from after the Thanksgiving weekend to the end of April (when the trails are usually free from mud). During the area’s peak months in terms of weather, the off-leash rules could be applied. Would this not satisfy most people? And result in more conservation area enjoyment? And isn’t that the point?

OPINION

“Global” terrorism Editorial - “We will not be cowed by these sick terrorists,” said British Prime Minister David Cameron after ISIS produced a grisly video of the mass beheading of Syrian captives by foreign jihadis who allegedly included British fighters. “We will not be intimidated,” said Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper after the recent attacks in Montreal and Ottawa. As if the purpose of terrorist attacks in Western countries was to cow and intimidate them. You hear this sort of rhetoric from Western leaders all the time, but Harper went further and demonstrated exactly how they get it wrong. “[This] will lead us to … redouble our efforts to work with our allies around the world and fight against the terrorist organisations who brutalise those in other countries with the hope of bringing their savagery to our shores. They will have no safe haven.” Sound familiar? Sure enough, there are now half a dozen Canadian planes bombing ISIS jihadis in Iraq (although it’s unlikely that either of the Canadian attackers, both converts to radical Islam, had any contact with foreign terrorist organisations). But Harper has got the logic completely backward. The purpose of major terrorist activities directed at the West, from the 9/11 attacks to ISIS videos, is not to “cow” or “intimidate” Western countries. It is to get those countries to bomb Muslim countries or, better yet, invade them. The terrorists want to come to power in Muslim countries, not in Canada or Britain or the U.S. And the best way to establish your revolutionary credentials and recruit local supporters is to get the West to attack you. That’s what Osama bin Laden wanted in 2001. (He hoped for an American invasion of Afghanistan, but he got an unexpected bonus in the U.S. invasion of Iraq.) The ISIS videos of Western hostages being beheaded are intended to get Western countries involved in the fight against them, because that’s how you build local support. So far, the strategy is working just fine. The “Global Terrorism Index,” published annually by the Institute for Economics and Peace, reported last week that fatalities as a result of terrorism have risen fivefold in the 13 years since the 9/11 attacks, despite the U.S.-led “war on terror” that has spent $4.4 trillion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and anti-terrorist operations elsewhere. But it’s not really

“despite” those wars. It’s largely because of them. The invasions, the drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen and Africa, the whole lumbering apparatus of the “global war on terrorism” have not killed the terrorist beast. They have fed it, and the beast has grown very large: 3,361 people were killed by terrorism in 2000; 17,958 were killed by it last year. At least 80 per cent of these people were Muslims, and the vast majority of those who killed them were also Muslims: the terrorists of Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria, Boko Haram in Nigeria, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and al-Qaeda and its offspring in other parts of the world (like al-Shebab in northeast Africa). That is not to say that terrorism is a particularly Muslim technique. Its historical roots lie in European struggles against oppressive regimes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and it gained huge currency in liberation struggles against the European colonial empires after World War II. Even the Stern Gang in Israel and the Irish Republican Army can be seen as part of this wave. Later waves of fashion in terrorism included the European, Latin American and Japanese “urban terrorist” movements of the 1970s and 1980s— Baader-Meinhof Gang in Germany, Red Brigades in Italy, Montoneros in Argentina, Japanese Red Army and so on—none of which has any political success at all. Specifically “Islamic” terrorism really begins only in the 1990s, with the rise of radical, anachronistic forms of Sunni Islam. Only about five per cent of the victims of this latest wave of terrorism lived in developed countries, but it was their deaths, and their governments’ ignorant responses to them, that provided the fuel for the spectacular growth of jihadi extremism. So what can be done about it? The Global Terrorism Index has some useful observations to offer about that, too. It points out that a great many terrorist organisations have actually gone out of business in the past 45 years. Only ten per cent of them actually won, took power, and disbanded their terrorist wings. And only seven per cent were eliminated by the direct application of military force. Eighty per cent of them were ended by a combination of better policing and the creation of a political process that addressed the grievances of those who supported the terrorism. You don’t fix the problem by fighting poverty or raising educational levels; that kind of thing has almost nothing to do with the rise of terrorism. You have to deal with the particular grievances that obsess specific ethnic, religious or political groups. And above all, keep foreigners out of the process. Their interventions ALWAYS make matters worse. Which is why the terrorists love them so much.

How much money are we spending? By Terry Bush Editorial - So what’s the big secret? Considering the Harper government campaigned on transparency and accountability, we’ve yet to see either when it comes to our mission, or more accurately, the American mission we’ve joined against ISIL in Iraq and Syria. What are the cost estimates? Just what are we actually doing there? Will our aircraft be bombing Syria, a sovereign country? Would that not be considered an illegal invasion? Are we already there? Most Canadians are interested in what happens both in Canada and beyond our borders. We’re certainly not as insular as our neighbours to the south and our education system, at least when I went to school, was geared so we realized at a very young age that there was a world beyond our borders. Canadians know about the U.S. We know many things about Europe and we can also find Australia and New Zealand on a map. We’re a curious people and as such, most of us don’t enjoy being left in the dark about what our government is doing behind closed doors. The CBC reports that the Canadian military is ready to go into Syria if needed but there’s just one little problem. It would be considered illegal under our current laws and probably under international law as well. At a recent security forum in Halifax, the CBC reports that Defence Minister Rob Nicholson told the audience that, “the door is not closed” for Canadian jets to attack targets in Syria. Not to worry. Justice Minister Peter MacKay is on the job and is “working with other departments to examine certain scenarios.” What that means one could only guess but it sure sounds like our only option would be to emulate the Americans and change our laws to make it possible to attack a sovereign state. But given their recent track record in the Middle East, why would any country, other than Great Britain, think backing the Yanks in that part of the world will have a favourable outcome. If our air force bombed Syria, wouldn’t that make us the worst kind of hypocrites. After all, Prime Minister Stephen Harper recently called out Vladimir Putin at the G20 conference with something along the lines of, “I will shake your hand but get out of Ukraine.” Hopefully our PM said exactly the same thing to U.S. President Barrack Obama whose

country spent billions to overthrow the former Ukrainian government. But then again, as Obama trumpeted at West Point back in May, the U.S. is an indispensable and exceptional nation whose job it is to lead the world. Luckily most Canadians don’t suffer from this degree of hubris. So, just what is this mission costing us? Chief of the Defence Staff General Tom Lawson has provided the figures to the government. The U.S. has released their cost estimates to their citizens. So, when will our government let us know how many of our tax dollars have been spent, and will be spent in Iraq and potentially Syria. U.S. Senator and warmonger-in-chief John McCain attended the same Halifax forum calling our current strategy “delusional.” Whatever you think of McCain, his statement makes perfect sense considering there are no reliable “boots on the ground” other than the Syrian army. Bombing by itself does nothing, other than killing a few ISIS/ISIL members, while destroying some infrastructure and any civilians who happen to be in the area, a perfect recruiting tool for ISIL. If this strategy is not working, and it isn’t, how long will it be until we find ourselves sending in ground troops to support the aerial bombardment? It doesn’t take a military genius to realize that the two go hand in hand. Or do we even want to win this battle? Germany’s international broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) recently published a video report showing that ISIL’s supply line rolls into Syria virtually unimpeded through NATO member Turkey with hundreds of trucks crossing the border daily. Shouldn’t cutting off this supply route be the first thing on the to-do list of any serious military force if this really is the case. This whole ISIL, bombing missions only, vetting and arming the Syrian rebels scenario does seem to be a strange way of going about things if we’re seriously trying to demolish this terrorist group. Syrian regime change is definitely in the works. Just what else is going on behind the scenes? And will our government ever get around to telling us what it will cost? For my money, a few more Coast Guard ships to protect our borders and that long-promised Arctic deep-sea port would be money better spent. Or maybe on the veterans from wars already fought. Sure sounds like they’re being short-changed big time judging by recent reports.

News - Brighton - Whassup, Brighton? The municipality’s Economic Development Department can provide you with some answers, with the first edition of the Brighton e-Newsletter, which it began distributing last week. Five pages long, it outlines various initiatives, such as the municipality’s new branding strategy (which includes plans for a new library and creative trades centre), downtown revitalization, industrial park expansion, a collaborative marketing campaign, and plans for a full overhaul of the municipal web site. “We’ll be looking at doing a quarterly newsletter ‌ in addition to implementing some other communications tools,â€? said Economic Development and Communications Manager Elisha Purchase. A request for proposals to create a new web site for Brighton will be issued soon to replace the existing one that is “very datedâ€? and offers little support for posting videos and photos, and linking to social media sites, she said. A new web site was the “first priorityâ€? of the communications plan and content strategy council approved in August.

The municipality launched its own social media pages in September and the response has been “very good,â€? Purchase said. To drum up interest, there’s an ongoing contest in which $20 gift certificates from local businesses are handed out as prizes with every 50 additional likes or followers added to the municipality’s Facebook and Twitter pages. The numbers have been growing, “so that’s been encouraging,â€? Purchase said. The proposed Brighton creative trades centre has its own Facebook page and “there’s been a lot of communication ‌around that project,â€? which is very much in the preliminary stage “so we’re looking at getting people’s input right now.â€? Purchase said she will recommend to council at its December 15 meeting that an open house be held in the new year to engage the public “and really find out what their thoughts are. “We need to decide whether we want to carry out this concept,â€? Purchase said, and if it needs to change. “There’s nothing carved in stone,â€? she said. The new council will decide “if they want to continue the direction the municipality’s been taking or if they want to [go in] a new direction.â€? If the project goes ahead, it will “need some kind of supporting committee to manage some of the details around that,â€? Purchase said. She encouraged the public to attend the December 15 council meeting at the King Edward Park Community Centre to learn more about the branding strategy and creative trades centre. The e-newsletter also provides building statistics for the year to date and how those numbers compare to last year’s figures, and where the Economic Development Department has managed to secure $203,555 in funding from outside sources. Purchase said, “communication is always a challenge [for the municipality] but it’s certainly something that we hope to improve on,â€? with the enewsletter, which can be viewed online by visiting <www.brighton.ca> or obtained by emailing Economic Development and Revitalization Co-ordinator Laurie Caouette at <lcaoutte@ brighton.ca>.

Spring Valley takes learning outdoors By Joyce Cassin

Spring Valley is literally taking down the walls and opening the doors to better learning. The new classroom includes tiered seating, accessible platforms and lots of space for handson learning ‌ and all in the great outdoors just down the hill from

Lizzie’s Garden and overlooking the baseball diamond. The design was provided by Karen Nichols, landscape designer at Serenity Landscape Design in Codrington. The school council has been very active in helping to make this

dream come true. School council chair Diana Scott said she is thrilled with the community partnership that is bringing this project to fruition. And to make it ďŹ nancially viable, TransCanada Pipeline donated $16,000 toward the project. “I met two ladies [school councillors] who think about you all the time,â€? said TransCanada’s Gerry Martin in his address to the students gathered outside on the

site of the new classroom. And he thinks it’s a great idea because “I always enjoyed the outdoors more than inside.� Martin said he and the people with whom he works at TransCanada think the students are the most important resource, so it was a very easy decision to donate the funds necessary to build the classroom. “It really was that easy,� he said. “They asked, we talked about it quickly and said yes.�

Student councillors Aidan McVicar and Taylor VanderMeulen as well as the project’s architectural supervisor, Phil Bortolazzo, and Martin were given the honour of taking the ďŹ rst shovelful of dirt for the groundbreaking. There was a lot of enthusiasm as students from all grades began chanting “Break that groundâ€? over and over. Work began immediately and students could be using the new classroom as early as the spring. R0013038648

News - Brighton - You can do anything outdoors that you can do indoors, said Spring Valley Public School principal Janet Fox during the ground-breaking ceremony of a new outdoor classroom on the school grounds Wednesday.

Local Committee and Board Appointments The Municipality of Brighton is reaching out to engage its citizens – calling for people who are interested in becoming citizen members of local committees for the purpose of providing advice to Council on matters within the committee’s mandate, and boards to administer matters under specific Provincial legislation.

30-Hour Fast contains high content of fun and games for serious purpose By John Campbell

News - Brighton - Fasting, it turns out, isn’t such a trial after all. Not when it’s more about raising money to help young people in Tanzania get an education than swearing off food entirely. In fact, fasting, done the East Northumberland Secondary School way, can be a whole lot of fun. About 140 of its 1,100 students showed how when they took part in the annual 30-Hour Fast held Thursday night and spent most of the evening engaged in a variety of activities. From a neon dance to a sports marathon,

video games to a “manhunt� in the dark (one hour before the event ended at midnight, all but the school’s emergency lights were turned off, and the students went racing through the halls screaming, using glow sticks to search for clues). “This is the tenth year for the fast,� principal Jeff Kawzenuk said, and it’s the primary fund raiser in ongoing efforts to enable HIV/AIDs orphans to attend school in a small community called Kilema. “The students of ENSS have always supported the initiative,� he said. “This is our little way of just trying to

make an impact in [a] big world that really isn’t so big.â€? Making it possible for the orphans to get an education “is possibly the greatest gift we can give,â€? Kawzenuk said. To do that has involved taking on many projects along the way. “We’ve actually built a school [and] an HIV/AIDS centre,â€? he said, as well as made “a number of contributions to the hospital that is there [and] put in community gardens that help with the lunch program.â€? ENSS and its partners, Cobourg West and Port Hope high school, have “created an unbelievable amount of change,â€? Kawzenuk said. “It’s visible when you go there now ‌ It’s almost a different village, believe it or not.â€? When he, 12 students and two fellow supervisors leave for Kilema January 14, 2015, they will be taking with them 25 used laptops provided by Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board. Half will go to a school that has already benefitted from computers the Canadian contingent brought them previously. The remainder will go to another school that ďŹ rst had to prove it could provide a proper classroom with electricity, and a teacher able to give instructions in computer usage, Kawzenuk said. It also had to ensure there was security in place, otherwise the laptops “would just disappear.â€? Pamela Vanderburg’s Grade 11 introduction to anthropology, psychology and sociology class headed up all the activities for 30-Hour Fast as well as designed the annual T-shirt for the event. Going without food for that long is all “voluntary,â€? so not everyone commits to that degree, Vanderburg said. The idea in asking them to try is to get them “to walk in someone’s shoes for a little while,â€? Kawzenuk said. Vanderburg “has been our greatest fund raiser since this project started because she’s got her class involved,â€? he added. “The kids have done a really good job.â€? The 30-Hour Fast—the organized part, which started at 3 p.m.—is “a good fun eveningâ€? for the students who, at the

same time, “are raising some money and awareness for a cause that’s near and dear to this school,� Kawzenuk said. The annual fast raises between $3,000 and $5,000, on average, although one year it brought in as much as $10,000, he said. He estimates over the years the three high schools have contributed “in excess of $150,000� to education and related programs on behalf of elementary and high school students in Kilema. Just before the students arrived there the last time, an earthquake resulted in a sinkhole swallowing up one of three washrooms in a primary school and the country’s ministry of education threatened to close the school if it didn’t get fixed. School officials tried to muster the necessary resources but “in the end they said they were struggling� and asked for our help, so when the group returned, a fund raiser was held and “now they have the best washrooms in Kilema,� Kawzenuk said.

Left to right, Caroline Birch, Megan Waterhouse and Doriann Saunders tiedye T-shirts created for this year’s 30-Hour Fast. The annual event raises money in support of providing an education for young Tanzanians who are HIV/AIDS orphans, an initiative that includes sending 12 to 15 East Northumberland Secondary School students each year to a small village where they stay for nearly three weeks helping out in various ways.

Thanks for the many positive comments received concerning my previous series of real estate tips presented earlier this year in The Independent under the title “DID YOU KNOW...� I am a firm believer that my responsibility as a Realtor acting on your behalf goes far beyond promoting myself through advertising my own listings. As a Realtor my aim is to provide a full service, part of which involves helping Buyers and Sellers understand the dynamics and trends of our local market. In our increasingly technological world, an over-abundance of information about any particular subject can be easily found. Real Estate is not the exception and although useful information can be found online, a lot may not be applicable to our local market. In this next series of real estate tips, I will be discussing many aspects involved in the sale of possibly your most important financial asset including common mistakes Buyers and Sellers make and how to avoid them. Stay tuned for these practical tips in upcoming editions of this paper!

Sandy Pasko dons the latest in fashion at the Dragonfly in Brighton, and plans to donate $1 to the food bank for every hat, scarf, or pair of gloves sold each Friday in December. Food Bank Fridays also provide a location for shoppers to drop off donations.

News - Brighton - Sandy Pasko, owner of downtown Brighton’s Dragonfly boutique on Main Street, has come up with a plan to give back to the community this Christmas season. For every scarf, hat or pair of gloves sold on Food Bank Fridays, each Friday in December, one dollar will be donated to the Brighton Fare Share Food Bank. “With the cost of food going up, we wanted to help the community,” said Pasko. “We have lots of local support, so this is our way of giving back.” She said if this works, they intend to do more fund raisers like this throughout the year. “We’re really excited about this,” she said. “We donate regularly anyway, so we thought, why not do it on a bigger scale to help out this Christmas.” This is one of those things Pasko hopes is contagious, and that other stores in the downtown core catch the bug and join her in an effort to provide a happy Christmas for everyone this year. Hats, gloves, and scarves are the most popular items sold in her store, so the store’s donation should be a good one. Customers can also drop off donations to the food bank at the Dragonfly during the month of December, she said.

Revitalization committee set up for Campbellford By John Campbell

News - Campbellford - Trent Hills has a new committee that will advise council on what should be done to revitalize Campbellford’s main business district. Mayor Hector Macmillan made the announcement at the inaugural meeting of the new council Monday morning when a bylaw was passed appointing members to various committees and boards. He explained afterward it “became very loud and clear through the election process … that a lot of merchants in Campbellford want to see a revitalization of the downtown, and they’re looking to council for leadership.

“Although it is a mandate of [the Campbellford Business Improvement Area (BIA) association] to be doing those things, it’s apparent they need help so we’re going to do that.” Both Warkworth and Hastings have long had committees in charge of revitalization efforts in their communities but “there was a misunderstanding [by the BIA as to] whose job it is to look after revitalization” in Campbellford, Macmillan said. The association has been invited to have a representative sit on the committee and BIA president Tom Kerr said in an interview later Monday he had submitted

his name for the position. The committee “is an excellent idea,” he said. The BIA has been setting aside money each year to complete the fourth and final phase of a revitalization project begun many years ago. The work remaining to be done is on the west side of the river north of the bridge. “We quit doing it … to wait until the bridge thing was settled,” he said. “There wasn’t much sense in us doing a revitalization project and then having it torn up.” Northumberland County earlier this year voted in favour of a second major river crossing being built south of the existing bridge,

between Alma and Second streets. The association’s membership consists of more than 100 business owners and tenants within a defined area who pay a levy based on assessment that covers the association’s annual budget of $43,400. They, like taxpayers in general, “want value for their money, and we’re not seeing that,” Macmillan said. As the owner of a gas bar on Front Street North, he has his own ideas about the usefulness of the BIA to his business. “I believe that the money the BIA collects directly through the levy [as a result of] a forced membership … could be spent more wisely,” he said. The “number one complaint” he heard from merchants was that “the only significant thing the BIA did was the Waterfront Festival, and that it actually took business away from downtown

businesses.” The BIA’s role within Trent Hills will be examined as part of the municipality’s upcoming service delivery review, which will look at all its relationships it has with partners, whether contractually or legislatively. Macmillan said “a number of merchants” have told him either the BIA “gets better or it disappears.” The service delivery review will give association members the opportunity “to state whether they want the status quo or if they want a change.” Kerr said the mayor’s views ran counter to what he’s heard from BIA members. “It’s not the kind of feedback I’m getting,” he said. “I do not have the feeling from the merchants that they’re ready to pack it in.” If the BIA were to disband, “it would be the worst thing they could do because together we are stronger.” Kerr said the mayor, like every BIA member, is entitled to his opinion. If he feels the association could be doing “a better job” of spending its money, a “new slate of officers will be elected” in the spring when it holds its annual meeting. “Yes, the BIA could do a lot more,” he said, but only with the active participation of members prepared to commit volunteer hours to its various initiatives. “A vision isn’t going to do any good unless people want to follow it,” Kerr said.

How health-care system failed couple subject of book The problems started at Kingston General Hospital, where the surgery was performed, and continued at Trenton Memorial Hospital, where MacLeod’s rehabilitation began, and they followed them home in Quinte West, after the couple decided to take charge of his own recovery, with support from the health-care system. “It was very much a home amateur program,” but they chose to pursue it, because of the disappointment they had felt with certain aspects of the care that had been provided in hospital settings, said Hawley, who now lives in Port Hope. A “pretty passive person by nature,” she turned into “a terrier” relentless in her drive to get what was best for her husband from what the system and its practitioners had to offer, begrudgingly it seemed at times. What she learned from the sum of their experiences together is captured in 14 lessons with which she ends her book, which she hopes readers will use as a guide when navigating the health-care

system. They begin with the advice to stay healthy and to manage stress. But when ill and in need of professional help, Hawley said: ask questions (“knowing what to ask requires some homework but it’s worth it”); keep a journal; “remember that prognosis is not an exact science”; understand “the basic 6 W’s of medication ... why are you taking it, who prescribed it, when are you supposed to take it, what do you take it with and without because it matters, it matters a lot,” and; carry critical care insurance. Other lessons listed in the book include: “gain access to a facility that best suits your needs” but do not stay in it or any hospital longer than is necessary” as going home “can be a huge advantage for recovery”; follow your instincts; practise “good and open communication,” and; choose with care an advocate who will help you get what you need in health care, and act on your behalf when you are no longer able. “Most of our hospitals are fine hospitals,” Hawley said, but

where “many people run into problems” is when they choose not “to take some responsibility and be part of the process” that manages their care, and believe “doctors are always right.” Hawley, who is still a member of a Brighton writers group she joined while living in the area, will hold a book launch of The Fight of Our Life at the Brighton Public Library December 9, beginning at 7 p.m.

She wants people to read her book “knowing it’s a true story and realize there are things they have to do for themselves.” Anyone can do it, as she has shown. A hair stylist for 30 years, “I was the epitome of average,” she said. “That’s what made me perfect for writing this book. “It’s not a slam against health care,” she said, but “a cautionary tale” that’s also a love story.

involved” in managing their own News - Brighton - Canadians need to be health care because everyone is “more cautious, more vigilant, and more “at risk of being misdiagnosed, overmedicated, given an incorrect prognosis and … receiving inadequate follow-up care,” says the author of a new book, The Fight of Our Life: A True Story of Crisis, Hope, and Love. Catherine Hawley reached this conclusion based on what she and the love of her life, Bill MacLeod, went through over the course of three-and-a-half years following the removal of a tumour from her husband’s brain in 2003. The surgery was a success but complications developed, causing cognitive impairment and limited mobility, and the rehabilitation he required was marred by “a series of ups and downs” that tested the couple’s faith in Canada’s healthcare system and opened their eyes to its many failings. “I learned so many things that Catherine Hawley’s first book, The Fight of Our had I known them in advance Life, published by BPS Books, is both “a caution- we would have skipped so many problems,” ranging ary tale” about the health-care system and its serious treatment of people with brain injuries, as expe- from poor communication to rienced by her and her husband, and a love story medical errors, Hawley said in an about “a match made in heaven.” Photo: Submitted interview.

Orangeville Flyers beat Trenton Golden Hawks 3 - 2 By Kate Everson

Sports - Quinte West - It wasn’t what the fans at the Duncan McDonald Memorial Arena wanted. After three straight losses, they needed their team to rebound and show they were winners again. The fans were all there cheering, and it came close. But a 3 - 2 game for Orangeville Flyers on Friday night, November 28, was a disappointing defeat. But the fans couldn’t complain about the excitement of the game. It was a thriller from start to finish. The teams were well matched and it was nonstop action all the way, even though that meant fighting up a storm and taking a few penalties. Neither team gained more than a two-goal lead, and Devon Gillham’s goal in the second period proved to be the difference maker. Orangeville pulled out the victory even though it was hit with 54 penalty minutes. The Flyers were led by Darren Nesbitt, who tallied one goal. Nesbitt scored

14:51 into the second period to make the score 3 - 1 Orangeville. Orangeville put up an impenetrable defensive front on the penalty kill, and did not allow Trenton to score on any of its seven power plays. James McLaughlin also scored for Orangeville. Other players who recorded assists for Orangeville were John DiLorenzo, Ryan DaSilva, Lucas Smilsky, and Derek Topatigh, who contributed one each. The Golden Hawks were often in penalty trouble, totaling nine minors and one major for 33 minutes in penalty time. Trenton had been averaging 18.0 minutes in penalties per game. The Golden Hawks’ penalty kill was spotless, allowing no goals on three Orangeville power plays. Trenton was held below its usual level of production. The Golden Hawks put an average of 4.7 pucks into the net per game. The Flyers were unable to stop Trenton from sending pucks toward the net, and the Golden Hawks eventu-

Lancers’ fund raiser a slam dunk for family battling cancer News - Belleville - The Loyalist Lancers played the George Brown Huskies in college basketball on Friday and the winner was a local family battling cancer. The Lancers men’s and women’s teams dedicated their games to Thomas Martin, who’s battling Gilomatosis cerebri cancer, a rare cancer of the brain. The soon-to-be ten-year-old attended the game with parents Robert Martin and Charlene McIntee. While Thomas said he’s not usually a big basketball fan, he seemed to make an exception on Friday night, as he posed for photos with students and with players from both schools in between the men’s and women’s game. At half time of the women’s game, he also shaved the head of Adam Strickland, a Lancers men’s volleyball player. Several fans wore yellow T-shirts that said “Team Thomas� on the back and “Together We’re Stronger� on the front. That slogan has been used at a few fund raisers for the family, held after Thomas was diagnosed with cancer last spring. Thomas’ dad, Robert Martin,

said he and his family continue to be touched by the support the community has shown for his son. “It’s a little overwhelming, but we don’t want to turn it away,� he said. “I believe, in a way, it helps us deal with it.� Looking at Thomas, who was smiling and excited, Robert added, “It helps him, spiritually, too. He was grinning from ear to ear.� The fund raisers are important because Martin and McIntee are self-employed; they own Sound Concepts, an audio business in Belleville. Since Thomas began receiving treatments at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, they have had to reduce their work hours. Jordan McConnell, an assistant in the Loyalist Athletics Department said organizers hoped to raise $1,000 on the night, through $10 T-shirt sales, a $5 pre-game spaghetti dinner and tickets for $5 VIP seats for the games. Before the women’s game was over, McConnell was confident the event had surpassed the goal. She helped put the event together, after hearing Thomas’ story from one of his friends last summer, while she was

working with the City of Belleville on its summer camps program. When she began working for Loyalist athletics, the department was thinking about holding one game this season as a fund raiser for a local cause. She pitched the idea of supporting Thomas and everyone agreed it would be a great event. Even the Lancers’ opponents from the Toronto-based school got into the act, by wearing the Team Thomas shirts in pregame warmups. Thomas is expecting to have a few more big days soon. In a few days, the family is heading to Disney World in Florida, courtesy of the Make a Wish Foundation, which helps the wishes of kids battling cancer come true. He’ll then turn ten on December 22. His road to recovery isn’t over, though, as he’s still undergoing treatments, Robert said. But, after spending much of the summer at Sick Kids, the family has been able to resume a somewhat normal life this fall, and Thomas was able to return to Queen Elizabeth Public School in Belleville, where he’s a Grade 5 student.

Thomas Martin sits among a group of Loyalist College students at the Lancers’ women’s basketball game on Friday night. The Lancers dedicated their game to the soon-to-be ten-year-old who is battling cancer. Fans wore yellow “Team Thomas� T-shirts and posed for a group photo at the end of the third quarter.

And everyone in the family is in good spirits, Robert said. “We’re doing as well as can be expected,� Robert said. “I think I’ve held up better than I thought I would.�

Bulls’ Elie called to Team Canada camp

Elie, a Dallas Stars draft pick, had posted 11 goals and 18 assists in 27 games played as of Monday, when he got the call. Last month he represented Team OHL in the 2014 Subway Super Series game against Russia in Kingston and scored a goal. “It is terrific news for Remi and his family,� the Bulls said in a statement. “He has had a very strong first half of the season and had an excellent game in Kingston in the Subway Super Series. He is a big guy that skates very well and scores on a consistent basis. It is great to see him be recognized and acknowledged for the way he’s played.� Elie will be the lone Bull trying out for the team. Other notables on the list include Erie Otters star Connor McDavid, who’s projected to be the first pick in this summer’s NHL entry draft, and London Knights star Max Domi, the son of former Toronto Maple Leafs player Tie Domi. The National Junior Team will play in three exhibition games prior to the tournament.

The Bulls headed into the game on a seven-game losing streak and having lost the first two games of their threegame road trip. The Bulls lost 9 - 2 to the Niagara IceDogs on Thursday to mark the second game in a row that they had allowed nine goals. They then lost 3 - 2 to Mississauga Steelheads the next night. But in the Pennsylvania city on Saturday, the team rebounded with a good defensive effort. Michael Cramarossa scored in the first period to give Belleville a 1 - 0 lead, after Erie scored in the second period, Chad Heffernan scored at 8:55 of the third period; a goal that turned out to be the game winner. Jordan Subban added an empty-net goal with 37 seconds to play to seal the

win. It was just the Otters’ fourth loss of the season. Their 21-4-0-1 record at the end of the weekend was still tops in the OHL. Charlie Graham made 33 saves to earn the win in goal. The win prevented the Bulls from falling to .500 for the first time this season. Heading into Wednesday’s home game against Ottawa, which was played after

press time, the Bulls sported a 13-12-2-1 record, good for 28 points and second place in the East Division. The division rival Ottawa 67’s were just two points behind them in third place. Before Saturday’s rematch with Erie, the Bulls will travel to Kingston on Friday to play the rival Frontenacs, who are also creeping up in the standings. Heading into the weekend, they were just one point behind Ottawa.

YMCA Peace International Medallion presented By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - Ellie Barker was surprised to be nominated for the YMCA International Peace Medallion which she accepted November 27 at the YMCA of the City of Quinte West. “I was surprised,” she said beaming. “And thanks to Marty for the song!” Last year’s recipient Marty Halloran sang a lively tune dedicated to Ellie who has been involved in the community for more than 60 years. “Andy Forgie was before me,” Halloran said. “Those were difficult shoes to fill and I don’t even play a guitar. But I have a song for you Ellie. I am privileged to work with you.” Ellie was accompanied at the reception by her daughter Mary Ann and son-in-law Cliff. Also in attendance was Bob Gallagher, president and CEO of the YMCA of Central East Ontario, Dave Allen, vice president of Operations, and Ron Riddell, general manager of the YMCA of Quinte West. Mayors John Williams and Neil Ellis were also present, along with Councillor Fred Kuypers, as well as several friends and well-wishers, including a medley of cheery pink-shirted Leaders-in-Training greeting everyone at the door. Refreshments were served as the ceremony took place looking out onto the pool. Dave Allen said the medallion is about reaching out and inviting everyone to act for peace. Martha Palm-Leis and Deirdre Cleveland from the YMCA sang a lovely, uplifting version of Leonard Cohen’s famous song Hallelujah. Allen noted that the YMCA of Quinte West’s Strong Kids Campaign has exceeded its goal this year, thanks to all the contributors. President Bob Gallagher said Peace Week has been celebrated by YMCAs around the globe for the past 30 years. It

is important to teach youth about peace. “Each person has a role to play to promote peace,� he said. Gallagher talked about the partnership in Nicaragua where volunteers work with youth in the community. “They have no wonderful building like us,� he said. “It’s just a clay or brick building with no windows or doors. It’s a different world.� He noted the YMCA in Nicaragua gives youth a respite from a world of violence, drugs and alcoholism just across the street from the centre. “We must see, act and pray to be peacemakers,� he said.

The Belleville Lions Club is seeking civic minded men and women to join us in making a difference in our community. Our Club gives members an opportunity to advance worthy causes and help improve the lives of those in need, both at home and abroad.

The Lioness Club granted her the Helen Keller award and the Judge Brian Stevenson Award, recognizing her contributions to the community. Ron Riddell presented her with a certiďŹ cate from the government through MP Rick Norlock for her well-deserved recognition. Mayor John Williams thanked Ellie for her contribution to the city.

News - Norwood - Two service organizations and Community Care have teamed up to help ease the “staggering” transportation costs a local resident will face while being treated for throat cancer. The Norwood Lions, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 300 and Community Care Norwood have united in an effort to offer relief for a Branch 300 member as he braces for a sevenweek, five-days-a-week travel schedule to Kingston General Hospital for specialized chemotherapy. The Community Care client has already made journeys for specialist appointments and the dental work that must be done before the major treatment. The cost of each trip to Kingston is $120 which over the course of the seven-week treatment regime will reach at least $4,200 not counting trips that have already been made for preliminary appointments. The Lions and Legion each donated $500 and Community Care has been working with the Peterborough chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society for a twice-a-week travel subsidy of $111. The $111 is the cost of a bus pass from Peterborough to Kingston but must be paid up-front by the patient who’s facing financial struggles and has no family

in the area who could help with transportation. Kingston General has a fund that could provide up to $500 that would be paid directly to Community Care which is providing the transportation, says Kelly Small, a program support worker with Community Care. That Kingston funding source has approved one trip per week. The client is “facing a very big challenge,” says Small. “It is a staggering cost [and] he is not the only person we serve who faces this type of situation. “The service clubs stepping up and helping somebody like that is so wonderful and greatly appreciated by the client. It really is amazing,” Small said. The client was facing a situation where he couldn’t afford the transportation to receive the critical care he needs, she added, and will need at least 35 round-trip drives to Kingston not including the travelling he’s done for pre-treatment appointments. Legion Branch 300 service officer Doug Pearcy says their primary mandate is to make sure veterans are receiving the assistance they need but approved the request from a fellow member experiencing a medical crisis and financial challenge. “The most important part

ally need to be aware that these situations exist in our community and we may be asked for more help in the future because it’s a difficult thing.” Small hopes that in the future more of these sorts of treatments will be done closer to home so that long, expensive journeys are unKelly Small of Community Care Norwood thanked the Norwood Lions and Royal Canadian Legion necessary. “It would be a help, espe- Branch 300 for their $500 donations to help ease transportation expenses for a client facing an cially to those struggling.” extended travel schedule to Kingston for cancer treatment.

Legion planning annual visit to veterans at Sunnybrook Hospital By Sue Dickens

News - Warkworth - Christmas will come early for veterans at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto when the members of Warkworth Legion Branch 380 continue their tradition of taking gifts for them to open. The largest veterans care facility in Canada working in close partnership with Veterans Affairs Canada, Sunnybrook offers long-term and complex hospital care to 500 veterans from World War II and the Korean War. Residents live as independently as possible in Kilgour wing, and in the George Hees wing within a supportive environment, when their needs can no longer be met in the community. The visits by Warkworth Legion

Ontario shoppers still love their flyers: new study

members are something to which the veterans really look forward each year. Their trips started in the late 1990s, inspired by past president Roger Brummell, who will be heading to the hospital sometime in the next week with several others from the branch. Trudy Nelson, membership chair at the Warkworth Legion for many years, “is the driving force behind the visits now,” noted Brummell. “We present gifts to a whole wing of veterans. Last year there were about 36,” he said. “We go door to door and meet the veterans and wish them a very Merry Christmas … but their smiles and responses are not over the gifts … they are just happy to have us visit them,” he added. The small group of Legion members takes not only gifts but bags of respect and admiration for the veterans who fought in the wars. “It’s all about the visit for

them,” Brummell said. He has many memories from the visits made over the years and tells a story of a veteran he met when visiting Sunnybrook who heard that Legion members from Warkworth were in his ward. This veteran knew the former druggist in town, Gordon Hutchinson. He was his captain in the war. “They stayed connected and lived beside each other on Little Lake Road,” said Brummell, remembering the tale. It’s moments like that and others which add special meaning to the trips to Sunnybrook for all involved. And one of those groups involved again this year is the 2nd Warkworth Brownies who spent two meetings making Christmas cards for the Christmas baskets the Legion distributes to the veterans at Sunnybrook. “This was the second year for the card making and the girls had a fun time creating their Christmas wishes. This

year the girls ended up with 52 cards,” said their leader Tracy Russell. “The children’s Christmas cards add a personal touch to the gift bags and is very much appreciated by the veterans, especially by those without families,” Brummell said. Donations by local businesses throughout Trent Hills and money from the Legion’s poppy fund help make it possible.

Where do you get ideas for the perfect holiday gift? From Pinterest to Instagram, the digital world is awash with places shoppers can go to discover unique and thoughtful gift ideas. But not all shoppers have rushed to source their gift ideas from the latest social media hotspot. A new study reveals that almost half of Ontario shoppers have used print flyers as a source of gift giving inspiration. The study also shows that while people may spend more time online than ever before, 97 per cent of Ontario shoppers still read and rely on printed flyers, and many of them—86 per cent—take the time to read their flyers on a weekly basis. “You may think that in our digital world print flyers would factor less in consumer decision making, but we found the exact opposite,” said Ian Oliver, president, Metroland Media. “Shoppers became quite emotional when we asked them how they use flyers. And as it turns out, flyers continue to play a significant role in how we decide what we want to purchase.” In the survey, Ontario shoppers revealed that they consider flyers to be a critical guide for finding deals and learning what products are out there when they need to make a purchase. While the most popular kinds of flyers are sent to customers from grocery and mass merchant chains, at least half of Ontario shoppers depend on the flyers they receive from department stores, fashion retailers, sporting goods and electronics stores.

Cancer Clinic named after Dr. MacIntosh

News - Belleville - The place Belleville cancer patients go to receive treatments now bears the name of one of the people who made such a clinic possible. Belleville General Hospital celebrated the opening of the Dr. Douglas A. MacIntosh Cancer Clinic on Saturday. Dozens of hospital supporters showed up for the event, which was a fitting

tribute to the local doctor’s forty-plus year commitment to health care, particularly the field of oncology. The bright and spacious clinic is just south of the hospital’s main Dundas Street East entrance and its doors are just past a hall which has photos of donors who made the clinic possible. Saturday’s ceremony came in the midst of Belleville

General Hospital Foundation’s $7-million fund-raising campaign for cancer care. The naming of the new clinic was meant to coincide with the achievement of the first $1 million being raised. The final $100,000 of that $1 million was raised at the recent fall gala. And probably no one is more impressed with the new facility than MacIntosh, who in a one-

on-one interview on Monday called it a “first-class set up” comparable to clinics at larger hospitals in Ottawa or Toronto. “It’s amazing, really,” MacIntosh said, when asked what it feels like to see his name on the wall. “It’s a real honour, believe me.” Sitting in a chair just outside the clinic, MacIntosh couldn’t go more than a couple of minutes without bumping into hospital staff he knew. He greeted several old colleagues with hugs and smiles. It’s a sign of the respect he’s earned since coming to Belleville General Hospital in 1966. He opened the hospital’s first oncology clinic in 1972, a move that allowed those living with tumourrelated cancers to receive chemotherapy treatments in Belleville, as opposed to travelling to Kingston or Toronto for treatments. In fact, in the 1960s, MacIntosh said, chemotherapy treatments were used only in hematology departments, for those being treated for cancers associated with the blood, such as lymphoma or leukemia. But new medical breakthroughs were allowing chemotherapy to work on tumour-related cancers, such as breast cancer or colon cancer, after the patients had received surgery. These advances excited MacIntosh over the course of his career. “Before, chemotherapy was like a shot gun,” said MacIntosh, explaining that

the treatments were once directed to several areas of the body. “Now, through the study of genetics, they’re able to determine, which cancer cells are more responsible to certain types of drugs.” MacIntosh worked steadily in the oncology clinic up until the early 1990s, when his own battle with prostate cancer caused him to reduce work hours. But the work of the clinic has continued with the leadership of Dr. Roger Levesque, who took over as the hospital’s head of oncology. MacIntosh says he has great respect for Dr. Levesque. “I call him the super doc,” he said. He also praised colleagues who were instrumental in starting the oncology clinic in the 1970s, including nurse Donna Holoway and auxiliary volunteers Sylvia Buskerd and Ruth Weber. 
 “When I wasn’t sure if I could go on, these three were pillars of strength,” MacIntosh said, reciting the speech he delivered Saturday. “They gave me courage.” He also praised the leadership of Dr. Bruce Cronk, a senior doctor at BGH who mentored MacIntosh when he was new on the scene. Now at age 83, MacIntosh has retired from practising health care, but he’s still a well-known face at BGH. His picture appears on promotional material that BGHF is using to encourage donations and a large poster of him is shown by the doors of the clinic. It asks potential

donors to “be a Christmas angel” and “join Dr. MacIntosh to make cancer better.” The decision to compare MacIntosh to an “angel” likely comes from his commitment to cancer patients. “If anybody came to me, I was eager to make the right diagnosis and get them on the right track,” MacIntosh said. “I was dedicated to staying with the patient, right to the bitter end.”

St. Thomas choirs present a Christmas festival.

Events - Belleville - The Choirs of St. Thomas Anglican Church, Belleville, will be presenting a Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols at St. Thomas Anglican Church on Sunday afternoon, December 21. The service will be presented in the traditional style of King’s College, Cambridge. The junior and senior choirs, conducted and accompanied by music directors Matthieu Latreille and Francine Nguyen-Savaria, will present Christmas carols and anthems. The congregation is also invited to join in singing some all-time favourites. “The idea of Christmas magic and enchantment is somewhat cliché and over-rated. And yet, magic happens during the Festival of Lessons and Carols. Whether we believe in God or not, the story of the Nativity, and the music it inspired are always moving,” said music director Matthieu Latreille. This Festival of Lessons and Carols holds a special place in the music directors’ hearts. They confess that this service is what first attracted them to the Anglican Church and something they have been dreaming of doing ever since they have discovered it. They have presented with success two editions of this event at St. Ambrose Episcopal Church in Claremont, California, and are thrilled to be able to offer the Festival of Lessons and Carols in Belleville. The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols will start at 4:30 p.m. A reception will follow during which light refreshments will be served.

TRAVEL

Exploring South America’s Lima, Peru

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - When my wife and I travelled to Peru with Indus Travels <http:// www.industravels.ca/>, we actually flew to Lima, the capital and largest city in Peru, with a population of more than 9 million. Since we arrived at about 2 a.m. and were departing again the very next morning, flying across the Andes to Cusco (the former capital of the Inca Empire and the oldest continuously inhabited city of the Western Hemisphere), we didn’t see much of the city at all—just an airport hotel, the Costa del Sol Ramada. However, when we returned to Lima at the end of our tour, we did find time to explore this fascinating city, and we checked out many of its major attractions. Lima is located in a valley and overlooks the Pacific Ocean. It’s at a much lower elevation than many of Peru’s other major tourist destinations, such as Machu Picchu, Cusco, and Lake Titicaca, so it’s a logical place to begin/ end a tour of the country, as there’s not any serious concern with altitude sickness here. Also, this city is often referred to as the “Gastronomical Capital of the Americas,” so what you can expect is a plethora of fine and varied dining opportunities. While touring this bustling

metropolis, we explored both its colonial and modern sections, and noticed a great variety of architectural styles. In particular, we discovered a lot of balconies, for they were apparently very popular here during the colonial period. We spent much of our time in the very centre of the historic district, at Plaza de Armas, for here we found a beautiful park-like square surrounded by several important buildings: the Archbishop’s Palace of Lima, Municipal Palace of Lima, Government Palace (residence of the President of Peru), and the Cathedral of Lima (with its chapel containing the remains of Francisco Pizarro, the founder of Lima). Just a block away is the San Francisco Church, where we were greeted by a multitude of pigeons clinging to its two exterior towers. It was rather entertaining to simply watch the throng of pigeons at play here and roosting. As we entered this particular church, we learned that Lima’s first cemetery was down below, in the church’s catacombs, and we were able to descend down here and actually see the piles of bones and skulls that line the narrow hallways underneath. It’s estimated more than 70,000 people were buried down here, and it’s a rather macabre display. Also nearby is the Torre Tagle Palace, with its carved

columns and two large, intricately designed wooden balconies (arguably the most beautiful balconies in the entire city). It’s presently used as the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We also visited Lima’s renowned Larco Museum, which was founded in 1926, and it’s housed in a striking 18th century royal mansion that was, itself, built atop a 7th century pre-Columbian pyramid. It’s quite a setting, and it’s surrounded by beautiful gardens, so we had to spend some time checking these out, too. The museum itself displays over 3,000 years of development of Peruvian pre-Columbian history, in a series of chronologically sequenced galleries, and there’s a great gold and silver collection from Ancient Peru— and a famous and popular erotic archaeological collection, too. We even checked out the museum’s crammed storage rooms, for there are far more historically significant items stashed away for which there’s just not the space to display properly in the museum itself. To learn even more about Peruvian history, you might check out the Museum of the Nation, the Peruvian National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology, and History, the Museum of the Inquisition and Congress, and the Gold of Peru Museum. You might also visit Lima’s City Walls Park, where sections of the 17th century colonial fortifications are still on display. Our half-day bus

adobe and clay pyramid, it’s the only pre-Incan ruin remaining in this area. The Miraflores district is a more upscale area of the city, so expect to find highend boutiques and restaurants, beautiful parks and beaches, modern skyscrapers, and expensive private homes. While exploring this intriguing city, we noticed some rather unusual situations, such as witnessing a dog walker on a bicycle, with eight leashed dogs walking along beside him. We also saw a vulture sitting atop one of the city’s statues, and a taxi driver, on a very warm day, with a cooling fan mounted on his dash and pointing directly at him. There may not have been any air conditioning for his passengers, but he was certainly going to keep cool.

We are very excited here.” Surveying the tree and a nearby brochure rack, both nearly completely covered in donations, Montgomery says they might have to get a bigger tree next year. They do have a box for overflow which already contains several baby sets. “There are some big-hearted people and we’re very excited about it. We want to give back to the community as best we can so this is the way we can do it by giving to the kids.”

News - Norwood - “Big-hearted” knitters have transformed the Norwood Post Office’s Christmas mitten tree. “It’s very overwhelming; we’ve had a lot of people drop things off,” says Joan Montgomery. This is the third year the post office has set up a tree and welcomed donations of hats and mittens and other knit-

ted wear which are then given to Norwood District Public School, St. Paul Catholic Elementary School and the Hucklebug Childcare Centre. Additional winter wear is given to the Norwood Lions Christmas hamper program. The Lions have a box at the post office for toy donations which will be collected December 16. Last year, the post office donated 11 dozen items and Montgomery says they hope to exceed that number this year. Montgomery says that people were asking about donations well before the tree went up a few weeks ago. “We want to go above that. We’ve done very well.” Montgomery says there are “some dedicated knitters” in the community who are eager to support the cause. One lady, she noted, dropped a full bag of mitts and hats as well

Washboard Hank rollicks in Hastings By Bill Freeman

News - Hastings - Washboard Hank brought his rollicking musical show to Hastings as part of a PD Day special hosted by the Ontario Early Years Centre that celebrated music, crafts and good company. The legendary entertainer had youngsters

bouncing up and down with his renditions of favourite songs including some Christmas nuggets to welcome the season with traditional instruments along with his famous kitchen sink tuba and washboard. The Early Years Centre also had a clothing and book exchange as well as a craft corner.

The Royal Bank offered information on educational savings plans and the Salvation Army welcomed guests to their regular community luncheon. All in all a good time was had at the Hastings Civic Centre.

Seniors will bid sad farewell to bingo By Bill Freeman

News - Hastings - The Hastings Seniors will bid a sad farewell to their long-standing tradition of Monday night bingo on December 8. “It’s a sad day for all of us,” says bingo co-ordinator Alice Hall. “There are a lot of seniors who come and other people who don’t go anywhere else [and] this is the only entertainment for them. It’s a shame; I wish there was something we could do for them.” With crowds down and expenses up, the agonizing decision to end the bingo was made by the club. Seniors bingo in Hastings has been an institution since the club was formed in 1972, says Hall, who has been bingo co-ordinator for over a decade and recipient of a Trent Hills Seniors Award for her work with the club. “Attendance has been low all year round. The cost of doing bingo is quite expensive, people don’t realize how expensive.”

Over the last two years Hall says they’ve had 14 jackpot winners representing an outlay of $14,000 in prizes from those jackpots, a nice windfall for lucky players. Hall, long-time club secretary, has been a member for 15 years and active in bingo since her first year. In the early days she says it was “mostly food and stuff like that, not much money.” But it grew into a much-welcomed activity. Hall hopes that sometime in the future it might be revived. “I’ve been talking to a lot of people and they’re very disappointed, as much as I am. I put my heart and soul into it. I love what I do [but] it’s been a challenge.” Hall notes that low bingo attendance is not just a Hastings phenomenon and that other communities are struggling at the gate. At one time, Hastings was able to support three separate bingos: se-

niors, the Hastings Lions and Legion Branch 106. “Who knows how long [other communities] are going to be able to do it.” The Hastings Seniors still host popular euchre and bid euchre gatherings every week with a monthly tournament.

Continued from page B9

The album also won the Sirius Indie Award for folk roots album of the year and was long-listed for the prestigious Polaris Prize. The band was also nominated for a 2013 Juno with their album My father and the Hunter. Joining the band on the gig will be Sam Cash and The Romantic Dogs. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door.

IN MEMORIAM

In Memory Velma Dafoe My wife Velma for 51 years. The love of my life gone 5 years. I couldn’t have found a better aprtner and wife. We had the relationship and commitment few can achieve and the rest dream of. The 1st year in the army was tough financially, but it got better quickly. Through good jobs and investments we were able to do any and everything we ever dreamed of. We spent 50 years traveling the world at every opportunity. In 1985 my wife bought me a new Harley Davidson, we flew it to Europe on a 747 and toured Europe for the summer. The most important thing I ever said was our wedding vows - Love, Honour, and Cherish, and I practiced that every day. I was away many times in the army, Germany, Cyprus, Jerusalem, Beirut, and many other places for extended periods of time. And always engraved in my mind when I looked in the mirror were the words - Love, Honour and Cherish. One last word of advice... Hug your wife and tell her you love her daily, that chance may be gone in a heart beat. And if you smoke.... Quit. God gave man no greater reward after a life time of commitment then to spend your twilight years in each others arms watching the sun go down. John Dafoe CL442117

Lifestyles - For many folk, it makes sense that the Christmas tree becomes a permanent part of their estate after the holiday season.

diness after which it succumbs to freezing temperatures when planted outdoors. Here is a Q&A session on how to care for your live tree: What do I feed my tree? The short answer is you don’t; but, you do need to water it. Unlike a “free-range” tree, the roots can’t roam through the soil to take in moisture. If the rootball is small enough you can set the tree in a pail or laundry tub and completely immerse the rootball. Once the air bubbles stop rising to the surface, take away the water and let the rootball drain. Even if the tree is dormant, it will still need a good drink of water. Afterwards, you can slip the rootball, in its original container, into a large plastic bag to keep everything else clean and dry. Don’t tie the top of the bag, leave it open so the roots can breathe. By the way, never lift up the plant by its stem, lift the pot. How big can the live tree be? As small as you can live with per reason Number 2. For the tree itself, five feet tall is given as the best maximum height. So the answer now relates to your strength and whether or

as well buy it in the fall and plant it then. Keep it close by the celebration site, perhaps an unheated front porch or a back deck. At the right time, trundle it into the place of honour, said place should not be on top of the hot air register. Every home has a cold spot and that is the best place. If you can, bring it in on December 24 and slip it back outside on December 26. How do I transition to outdoors? If the rootball is still frozen, you can put it inside an unheated garden shed where it will get very little light or in a sheltered area (no wind, not full sun) in your yard. Spray with an anti-desiccant and use a light burlap wrap. Experienced planters will dig a hole long before the ground freezes and store the soil in a heated garage, basement or mudroom. They fill the hole with leaves or straw and cover with a piece of plywood. Planting is a simple process of uncovering the hole, removing the “fill,” and planting as per normal using the thawed soil, watering well, and using the filling as mulch. One stake on the windward side is a good idea.

not the tree/fridge dolly fits through the doorways. How long can it stay inside?” It depends upon the environment at the store where you bought the tree. If the tree has been kept inside in the warmth, it may stay inside as long as you want. It is just a big houseplant taking up a lot of space and taking up a lot of water. If it has been kept outside in the cold, or perhaps an unheated shed, then the tree will be in “season” with the environment. The challenge, when it comes into your warm home, is to not change that synchronicity. In other words, it is dormant and you want to keep it that way. Some knowledgeable nursery folk suggest seven to ten days indoors but that would be a maximum time, otherwise the tree will “awaken,” so to speak, and will need to be treated like a regular houseplant. When outdoor time arrives, you will need to harden it off before planting. So a good answer is: as short a period of time as possible. You do need to have it inside for all of the holiday purposes, otherwise you might just
