News - Brighton – The 15th annual Canadian PaciďŹ c (CP) Railway Holiday Train, a musical fundraiser-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 with a donation that left municipal councillor and food bank volunteer Emily Rowley abbergasted. More than 1,200 pounds of non-perishable food and about $800 in cash donations was collected to help stock the shelves during the holiday season. Added to that was a $4,000 cheque from CP. In addition to lending their support to local food banks, Canadian PaciďŹ c is matching all donations to the Breakfast Club of Canada during this year’s Holiday Train journey. People are encouraged to make a donation at www.breakfastclubcanada.org and CP will match it dollar-for-dollar. Since 1999, the Holiday Train program has raised about $7.4 million and three million pounds of food for local food banks. Please see photos on page 11

News – Brighton – The ‘A’ word reared its head on Monday night when municipal council received “with regretâ€? a resolution from Northumberland County council regarding municipal governance structure considerations Some Brighton councillors interpreted that motion to mean amalgamation is being considered. Five of the seven county municipalities – Brighton, Trent Hills and the townships of Cramahe, Hamilton and Alnwick-Haldimand – opposed any discussion of changes in municipal governance as a cost-cutting measure, but their concerns were ignored. Instead of supporting and endorsing the resolutions, as expressed in the original motion, county council simply received the correspondence for information and referred it to the Chief Administration OfďŹ cer’s (CAO) committee for their consideration in putting together an information report on ways to share services and cut costs. Notably, one of the options open for discussion in

that report is amalgamation. “County council was asked to withdraw their actions in regard to initiating discussions to the CAO’s committee on amalgamation or single tier government,� said Councillor Craig Kerr, who attended the November 20 county council meeting as a delegation. “The recommended motion indicated full support for the lower tier municipalities and would have ended the matter right there but those words are crossed out. “This is basically thumbing their noses at the wishes of a majority of the
lower tier governments. I think it is extremely unfortunate that county council chose to take that route. It’s been postured that this action through the CAO’s group is nothing more than an innocent exercise but the feeling across the majority of municipalities within Northumberland County is anything but that.� “This matter is far more complex than a simple exercise to save money,� he added. “It’s a hugely important venture that needs to be stopped now.� The motion to stop short of supporting the lower tier resolutions came from Cobourg Mayor Gil Brocanier and sec-

Fair trade a good deal for artisans in developing countries
Derrick Cunningham teaches at East Northumberland Secondary School and is the co-owner of a Ten Thousand Villages store in Cobourg that sells fair trade products including food, jewelry, home decor, furniture, toys and games. Each year he holds a sale at the high school for staff and students to promote fair trade and to raise money for a school cause. Photo: John Campbell
children with a proper education. “It’s not two dollars a day like some people have to exist on in developing countries,â€? Cunningham said. Paying artisans a reasonable wage would seem to put their goods at a competitive disadvantage with those produced by workers receiving poverty-level wages, but Cunningham said there has been “a growing awareness and appreciation of fair tradeâ€? since 2005, and it “has become quite a niche marketâ€? that continues to get bigger in North America. All Ten Thousand Villages stores in Canada “are continuing to do very well, even in an economic downturn.â€? The national non-proďŹ t fair trade organization works with approximately 60,000 artisans, who say they “just need to keep getting more orders because this works so well,â€? Cunningham said. “Fair trade is appreciated in the developing countries (because it provides) a measure of dignity and self-worth as opposed to just trying to eke out an existence for bare minimum (pay).â€?

News - Brighton – Derrick Cunningham, who teaches senior math and philosophy to Grade 11 and 12 students at ENSS, decided to open a Ten Thousand Villages store because he believes in “the social justice aspect of fair trade and the changes in lives that it promotes – a hand up as opposed to a hand out.â€? The store he and two friends opened in Cobourg ďŹ ve years ago is one of 15 in Ontario; there are about 35 in the country. “The products are all handmade goods from 30 developing countries, everything from gift ware to fair trade foods,â€? Cunningham said. “Right now Christmas ornaments are very popular.â€? He explained “fair trade operates on a principle of people before proďŹ ts, bringing dignity and hope to artisans. It’s not sweat shop labour, there is a measure of monitoring so people are paid a fair wage.â€? That enables them to purchase good food, obtain decent shelter, and their

provides. ENSS has a long history of excellence in sport and in fundraising, but both are being compromised by decisions that are being made that are entirely out of our control. We have heard a lot of excuses as to why there have been delays, but at this point almost two years since the ground-breaking, there needs to be accountability. It is no longer acceptable to say that things will be “completed as soon possible”. We expect to have a fixed completion date specified and an undertaking from the School Board that they will do whatever is necessary to ensure that completion occurs on or before the specified date. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Adrian Ellis, Brighton

large majority of the work to be done this fall with the final coating of the track likely to take place next spring.” At that time, we were re-assured and pleased to hear that completion was near. However, with hindsight, we should have paid more attention to statements such as “completing the project as soon as possible” and “likely to take place next spring”. It is now clear that the completion of the track is NOT likely to take place next spring. Obviously this would mean that yet another sports season will pass without a “home field” for the students at ENSS, but I can only assume that it will also mean that we will not be able to host the track and field events for the 2014 Ontario ParaSport Games as scheduled. This will not only leave our community with “egg on its face”, but it will also mean that Brighton will miss out on the revenue and marketing opportunities that such an event
Dear Editor, Re: Page 5, November 28, 2013 Brighton Independent and the article titled, “Brighton Council nixes “free” service”. At that article Councillor Craig Kerr is quoted as follows, “The thing that the proponents of the ombudsman conveniently forget is that the cost for the Ombudsman is not free - he costs the taxpayers of this province money every year.” At the November 4 and November 18 council meetings, when the issue

of hiring the Ombudsman of Ontario or Amberly Gavel Ltd. as closed meeting investigator was debated, I was one of the proponents of the Ombudsman of Ontario. I did not conveniently forget that Ontario taxpayers pay for his services. I fully realized that, whether they do or do not use the services of the Ombudsman of Ontario, all Ontario taxpayers pay for the service. And that is what makes Mr. Kerr’s statement, and his support of Amberly Gavel Ltd, very difficult to understand. It begs the question, Why should the taxpayers of Brighton pay again, with their hard-earned money, for a service they have already paid for? Especially in these tight economic times. Especially when Amberly Gavel Ltd will cost the taxpayers of Brighton an annual retainer fee of $330 and $225/hour of investigation. John Martinello Councillor, Municipality of Brighton

OPINION
Connected to your community
Ukraine and the European Union Editorial - Ukraine’s President Viktor Yanukovych had much explaining to do at the summit meeting of the European Union in Vilnius, Lithuania last Thursday. After six years of negotiation on an EU-Ukraine trade pact and political association agreement which was finally due to be signed at Vilnius, he had to explain why he wasn’t going to sign it after all. “The economic situation in Ukraine Gwynne Dyer is very hard, and we have big difficulties with Moscow,” says Yanukovych in a private conversation with Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel that was broadcast by Lithuanian television. “I would like you to hear me. I was alone for three and a half years (since his election in 2010) in very unequal conditions with Russia...one to one.” So Ukraine is putting the deal on hold indefinitely – and the EU promptly accused Yanukovych of being gutless. “If you blink in front of Russia, you always end up in trouble,” said the EU’s Commissioner for Enlargement, Stefan Fule. “Yanukovych blinked too soon.” At least 10,000 outraged Ukrainians who had reached the same conclusion came out on the streets of Kiev in protest on the following day. It was starting to look like a rerun of the “Orange Revolution” that had forced Yanukovych out of power after he won a fraudulent election in 2004, so early Saturday morning the riot police attacked the protesters and drove them from the square. But on Sunday the demonstrators were back on Independence Square 100,000 strong, and Yanukovych had to issue a public apology for the attack. We’ve been here before, haven’t we? The big Russian bully threatens some ex-Soviet country that is now looking west, and the craven local ruler gives in. Pro-democracy demonstrators come out in the streets, and peace, justice and proWestern policies triumph. Except this time, it’s not like that. The big Russian bully bit is still true. Moscow has already seen three of its former possessions in Europe – Lithuania,
Latvia and Estonia – join the European Union. It sees the future of the remaining six – Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan – as a zero-sum game between Russia and the EU, and it plays hard ball. Russia has been turning the screws on Ukraine hard, because with 45 million people and a serious industrial base it is the most important of the ex-Soviet states. Ukraine’s trade in 2012 was almost equally split between Russia and the EU, but over the past year Russian-Ukrainian trade has fallen by a quarter. “That’s a huge blow to our economy and we can’t ignore it,” Ukraine’s energy minister, Eduard Stavitsky, told the BBC. Stavitsky had asked repeatedly about getting compensation from the EU for the trade with Russia that Ukraine was losing as a punishment for its dalliance with “the West” – but “all we got were declarations that Ukraine would profit from a deal with the EU in the medium to long term.” Unfortunately, politicians have to live in the short term, and Yanukovych’s problem (and Ukraine’s) is that the country is divided down the middle. His supporters are mostly Russianspeakers who live in the heavily industrialised eastern half of the country – and those are the people who will really suffer if Russia cuts off its trade with Ukraine. Yanukovych would not have spent three and a half years negotiating a deal with the EU if he had no intention of ever going through with it. Why bother? He was trying to cut a deal that would satisfy the aspirations of pro-EU voters, especially in the nationalist, Ukrainian-speaking west of the country, without destroying the livelihood of his own supporters in the east. Either the EU didn’t understand his dilemma, or it didn’t care. It demanded that he choose between east and west, and made no offer to compensate Ukraine for its big short-term losses if it signed a deal with the EU. So Yanukovych has put the whole thing on indefinite hold, but that doesn’t mean he’ll throw in his lot with the “Eurasian Union” instead. If he can ride out the demos that are currently rocking Kiev, then in the longer term he will probably make a cautious return to talks with the EU.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Pipelines are safe for oil and natural gas Dear Editor, We would like to offer a clarification to the claims made about Keystone XL by Mr. Whittaker in a letter published in the Brighton Independent on Thursday, November 28, 2013. TransCanada holds hundreds of public consultation meetings in communities all over North America each year. There are no restrictions on public access. Our public consultation meetings are designed so the people in these communities can come, discuss their concerns, ask any question they like and learn about our projects and our company. For more than 60 years TransCanada has built relationships with over 60,000 landowners and we believe in being a good neighbour. With respect to the comments made about the construction of the Gulf Coast Pipeline (GCP); this project is the safest pipeline ever constructed in the United States, period. TransCanada agreed to 57 construction and operating conditions proposed by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) that no other pipeline has ever faced. Condition 49 states that the Gulf Coast Project is obligated to inspect the pipeline and address anomalies that previous pipelines only had to report, but not necessarily act upon. By adhering to those conditions TransCanada and the industry begin a new era of pipeline safety. The GCP is 486.09 miles in length – or 2,566,555.2 feet. With construction almost completed, our extensive testing and inspection looks at every piece of the pipeline, every weld and the facilities that support it. The pipe is hydrostatically tested, which involves filling the pipeline with water
and pressurizing it to a level far greater than it experiences during normal operation, in the pipe mill and then again in the field after it is welded together. As a result of our inspections, we have replaced 3/100th of one percent (about 700 feet of pipe) of the total amount of pipe for this project – as a result of construction impacts. The fact that we have conducted investigative digs after our inspections that revealed dents which occurred during construction, is a sign that our inspection programs work. Additionally, the Keystone Pipeline has never once leaked. The incidents Mr. Whittaker referenced all occurred at aboveground pump stations due to leakage from small-diameter fittings (typically about the size of a garden hose) and pump seals that have been repaired or replaced. They have all been cleaned up with no environmental impact and there have been no issues with the integrity of the buried pipe itself. Since 2010, the Keystone Pipeline has safely shipped more than 500 million barrels of oil to refineries in the Midwest. The facts are very clear: pipelines are the safest and more environmentally responsible method of transporting oil and natural gas over long distances. They help keep energy prices down, create thousands of jobs and will enhance North American energy security. We hope Mr. Whittaker can make it out to one of our open houses next year or take the time to visit our project websites to learn more. Philippe Cannon Energy East pipeline project, TransCanada Corp.
Santa’s sad tale shows people are poles apart By John Campbell Editorial - When Santa sent an email asking me to call him right away, a lot of thoughts went racing through my mind: Was it about the wafers and prune juice I left out last Christmas? Was he looking for clarification about that “diplomatic incident” in July? Or the toxic waste spill at the family barbecue? Was it the art forgery that started out as a practical joke? I’ve never understood this naughty or nice business. Why is it either/or? That’s a pretty high bar Santa’s set. Why can’t it be something more realistic, nice but occasionally naughty? Within certain limits, of course. Nick’s the saint, after all, not us. I steeled myself to make the call, and it turns out Santa was giving me a scoop: He was relocating! “Whaaaat?” I asked, as any good journalist would who already knew the whoooo and was about to get to the whennnn, wherrrre and whyyyy. “You heard me, I’m relocating.” I skipped the when and where and went straight to the why. “Why?” “Got to. My not-for-profit business is sinking and I need to do whatever I can to stay afloat.” Great, I thought, another high profile operation looking to save its hide by moving production overseas. To China, no doubt. “No, no, no, you’ve got it all wrong,” Santa said, as if reading my mind, or I had wondered out loud. I went with the latter. “Climate change. The ice cap is melting. Real estate values are plunging. Literally. If I stay here much longer, I’ll be bobbing on the ocean clinging to the North Pole.” “This is terrible. I can’t believe it’s got so bad.” “Believe it! Don’t you read the news?” “I write it, don’t read it. Other than the Rob Ford stuff. What’s up?” I didn’t need to be there to know Santa was shaking his head, probably wondering why he had chosen me to break the news about his picking up stakes. I think it was because he remembered when I was a kid and took a picture of him putting presents under the tree – and never sent the photo to the paper. I guess now he was paying me back after all these years for having been so considerate (and forgetting to put film in the camera). “Okay, I’ll give you the short version, courtesy of Reuters: ‘Ice on the Arctic Ocean shrank last year to its lowest levels since satellite observations began in the 1970s, and many experts expect that by mid-century it will vanish in summers due to climate change.’ I can’t call home a place that disappears four months a year. I need a permanent address like the one I’ve had for centuries. It really helps with mail delivery. But I can’t wait to the last minute to do something. I’ve got to move with the times, so to speak. Go with the floe.” “Go with the flow?” “Yeah, floe. As in ice. I’ve told the elves this is the last Christmas kids will be able to send their letters to Santa Claus, North Pole H0H 0H0. We’re heading for a new home after that, on an iceberg we’ll make with a few strategic blastings. Won’t have to worry about the logistics of relocating the workshop by ship or plane.” “Where will you go?” “The South Pole, naturally. Hear it’s still pretty cold down there. And there are no polar bears to worry about. Even if the ice at Antarctica melts, at least there’s land underneath. So we should be okay, for awhile. It’s the rest of the world I’m worried about.” The interview continued for another few minutes and then we chatted some more – apparently he DOESN’T like jalapeno in his egg nog – before we said our good-byes. He did pass on one other important piece of information for my story, what every kid will find in their stocking Christmas morning: receipt of a donation made in their name to the David Suzuki Foundation. “Geez,” I said. “What will their parents think who don’t believe the climate is changing because of human activity?” “Hey, what do I care, they don’t believe in me either.” Santa had a point. As did an editorialist more than an hundred years ago who wrote you can’t argue with people “affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age ... They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds.”
I wonder what he’d say to the skeptics today. Probably what he’d say to everyone else: “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good life.”

Pet owners must stop cats from roaming free outdoors Dear Editor, This letter is for all those pet owners who allow their cats to roam freely outdoors. In spring we saw two large fluffy male gray cats fighting in our tall-hedged backyard (claws, bite, blood, cycle). They left a long, winding swath of loosened fur and blood through the grass. In summer we saw a medium gray cat chomping at the remains of an animal in our
yard again. Chasing it away, we found only two small baby bunny paws left. A fourth smaller gray cat killed two birds over one and a half weeks old. Today we see another younger rabbit, with its back leg dragging by a thread, and wonder how it will survive winter. Rare times through the years we have seen a hawk prey on a morning dove, knowing it’s largely unavoidable and not to

be blamed on careless pet owners. We have always owned cats, indoor ones - freeing us and them from “broughthome” diseases (rabies, viruses, injury from other cats/dogs/foxes, etc.), An indoor cat won’t ruin a garden or leave feces randomly all over, or father multitude of strays. It will be healthier and apparently live longer. If we can capture any of these cats to politely lecture their owners we will. But many have no bells, no collar, or no number on the collar, of any kind. Being cat lovers, we look out for the cat, not the owner. If we capture these
“no name” cats, they will be taken to the pound. Please don’t be a lazy pet owner. If re-training for indoors squirt water on the face at time they howl to get out - harmless and effective in a few short days. And if you get an animal, play with it (dog) walk it, commit to it and be responsible. Hoping cat owners soon have to buy tags, facing the same regulations as dog owners. Many thanks, yours truly John and Nancy Tselepis and “Boo” Brighton
Why is the warden so opposed? Dear Editor, RE: “County ‘stomping on democracy’ keeping amalgamation on table: warden” I am a taxpayer in Trent Hills and I would like to provide a more realistic approach to the report that the Northumberland County CAOs have been requested to provide. The report is to look at all avenues of tax savings through various scenarios, including forming a single tier government. The report is not intended to form policy, but to provide information. That information can then be discussed by the councils of Northumberland, who then can consult their constituents, and decide if they wish to
implement any of the suggestions. That is Democracy! I am very confident that the CAOs of Northumberland County are a very professional group of people who will work to provide an honest, non-political report that will provide every taxpayer in Northumberland County with valuable information for them to consider. I don’t understand why the warden would be so strongly opposed to such a report. I wish to praise Mr. Loveshin, who brought this forward initially. Jim Harris, Campbellford

Memory Trees help bereaved cope with the holidays News - Northumberland County – Christmas isn’t always the most wonderful time of the year; the emphasis on family and friends, can be particularly hard to handle if you’ve lost a loved one. “It’s an opportunity for people to take a moment out of the craziness of the season to think about the person they miss,� says Community Care regional hospice coordinator Cheryl McFarlane. “Recognizing and honouring them once again is a gentle way to include them in the holiday season.� There is no charge. As part of the hospice palliative care program, the Memory Trees are simple ritual of wishes and remembrance to those loved ones who are struggling with illness and for those who have died. Simply write the person’s name and your wish for them on the paper doves and stars that are provided and hang it on the tree. Three trees will be available at locations throughout Northumberland County. At each location, palliative care volunteers can give some reassurance that it’s normal to be grieving
people we love or provide information on the hospice program in Northumberland County says McFarlane. And even though the Memory Trees are available in more locations than ever in the 10-year history of the holiday tradition, she adds, “I’d like to see it in every community in the county. We’ve had good response but, for me, I’d love to see it in all the schools next year.� The Memory Tree will be available on: December 6 at Sobey’s grocery store (Brighton) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. December 9 at Northumberland Hills Hospital (Cobourg) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. December 9 at Campbellford Memorial Hospital from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. December 10 at Hastings Civic Centre from 10:30 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. December 10 at Northumberland Hills Hospital from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. December 10 at Campbellford Memorial Hospital from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. December 10 at Downey Pharmacy (Colborne) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. December 12 at Brighton

mined that the car was travelling west when a female passenger seated behind the driver reached over and grabbed the steering wheel, causing the vehicle to enter the north ditch and land on the passenger side.
All four occupants were taken by ambulance to hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Amanda James, 19, is to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice January 7, 2014.

NO DOUBT CONVERTING MY OIL FURNACE TO GAS PAID OFF WITH $2000 CASH IN MY POCKET BEFORE X-MAS And you can too. Let me explain.
(OPA: Ontario Power Authority, OAC: On Approved Credit)
R0012453970
I previously wrote the following; Here’s what happened; upon renewing my Home Insurance recently, I found myself being asked politely if I can change my oil furnace to gas. I know I am not alone. So, doing a little research, I found out that there are many reasons to do so. Let me name a few; 1. Natural gas or propane is reason enough to save on energy, I understand it can be as much as 70%/year as well as provide my family with a very efficient heating and cooling system. 2. Furthermore, the Ont. Power Auth. (opa) allow up to $650 in an incentive program (with eligibility). Then a co-worker told me about Access HVAC in Belleville, ON. They offered him a financing plan under $100/mth with no payments for the first 12 mths (oac). 3. They also provided him with an additional rebate incentive which once combined with the OPA was up to $2000. 4. Apparently they converted everything for him the same day. Plus my co-worker had no gas in the area, No Problem, Access HVAC set everything with propane. My wife told me, “what are you waiting for, call them now!� She said she wants those incentives to help us with X-Mas. They guaranteed us the install before Santa even shows up this year. Their Guarantee Before Santa Install Program is still available till including December, 2013. Call them as I did at 613-689-7058. Have a Wonderful Warm Winter as my family will.

Trip abroad sure to be life-changing experience By John Campbell
News - Brighton – Each of the half-dozen ENSS students who will travel to Europe next May to take part in the 70th anniversary of D-Day can expect to return home a different person. “They come back changed from these tours,” said Angela Thompson, the teacher-librarian at East Northumberland Secondary School who’s organizing the trip. It will be the third time in eight years she accompanies students overseas to mark pivotal events in world wars that changed the course of history. The first trip was to join in ceremonies commemorating the 65th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands; the second, two years ago, was the 95th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. The itinerary for the 12-day tour of Germany, It-
aly and France that begins May 28 includes visiting a concentration camp at Dachau and walking on the beaches of Normandy, where Allied “You can’t come troops landed on Dback anything Day, June 6, 1944 to begin the largest seaborne invasion but changed after in history, and bring participating in an end to the Second something like World War. “Those are going that.” to be emotionally charged, emotionally powerful events,” Thompson said. “You can’t come back anything but changed after participating in something like that.”

She saw it happen to the 14 students who took part in a silent march from the village of Givechy to Vimy Ridge National Historic Site. They had been told the harsh conditions soldiers had faced in their bid to capture the ridge but it didn’t sink in until they went on the march to honour the thousands who had died, many of them Canadian. “It rained the entire day,” Thompson said. “So the kids were wet, they were cold, they were tired, they were miserable – but not dispirited at all. They struggled through with flying colours.” And it made them realize what the soldiers must have endured nearly a century ago, “and that drove the point home of the enormity of the sacrifice and the struggle,” she said. Thompson and the students began fundraising for the trip in October, to help offset the cost of $4,000 per student. Her hope is to raise enough money “to sponsor one or two more students” to enable them to go. A steady stream of funding is coming from the seven bingos a month the students work in Belleville. That will continue until next June and they’re also selling raffle tickets. Angela Thompson, a teacher-librarian at East Northumberland Secondary School, is leading a group of students overseas next May to take part in the 70th anniversary of D-Day. It’s the third time she has been involved in organizing local participation in celebrating noteworthy events from the First and Second World Wars. The students will make a flag, as before, to take with them to display when in Europe. Photo: John Campbell

A Ten Thousand Villages Fair Trade Show and Sale held in the library Nov. 28 will help with their efforts . ENSS teacher Derrick Cunningham, who co-owns a Ten Thousand Villages store in Cobourg, began holding the annual sale at the high school five years ago, committing 10 per cent of the pretax proceeds in support of a school cause. Cunningham went along with the students to Vimy Ridge and was deeply
touched by what he saw, in particular the battlefields below the monument that pays tribute to “a very proud time in Canadian history.” The land, now “covered with beautiful green,” was horribly disfigured by artillery fire and cannot be walked on even now because of the presence of unexploded shells, he said. “It left an impression about what Canadian soldiers, in particular, went through for our country.”

It is possible to adopt an angel in Brighton
morning. Making that connection possible are Community Care in Brighton and the Salvation Army in Trenton. Families in need of assistance register with them and the information is passed on to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 100 in Brighton so it can operate its annual AdoptAn-Angel program, now in its 21st year. Codes are used to preserve the anonymity of recipients but the number of children in a family, their age and gender is provided. Gifts are not to be wrapped to allow the Christmas Hamper Committee to examine them before being included with the donations of food to families. As of Monday 70 children had been chosen to receive gifts but the number is expected to climb past 100; last year 120 children benefitThis is the third year Linda Jensen and Bev Cook have coordinated the ted from the kindness of strangers.

News - Brighton - It’s a wonderful life when a community is populated by generous souls, and Brighton is among those blessed by their presence.
Especially this time of year when the earthbound angels show up bearing gifts and donations of money so the children of families with limited means won’t go without on Christmas
gether very nicely” to make Christmas “nicer” for everyone in the community, says Bev Cook, who is coordinating the Adopt-An-Angel program for the third year with Linda Jensen. They suggest donors give gifts in the $20 price range. “However if they want to spend more than that, feel free to do so,” Jensen said. In cases where different people buy for members of one family and there’s a disparity in the value of the toys, “we top up the parcels” using cash donations that have been provided, she said. “So every child is going to be happy they’ve got gifts that work for them ... within their age bracket.” Cook said they’ll include mittens and scarves, and have added books and arts and crafts materials in the past. “For a few dollars you can give a child a wonderful morning, where they’ve got five or six things to
keep them quite happy, and feeling special, that’s really what it’s all about,” she said. And “it’s not just little guys. We have families that still have a 19or 20-year-old. As long as they’re still living at home and still going to school, (and) dependent on mum and dad, then they’re part of our program. They deserve something nice for Christmas, too.” Jensen anticipates donations of a few hundred dollars this year, more than is usually given. “Someone’s been very generous this year to help us top up everybody’s parcel,” she said. To select an angel, donors must register at the Legion on Park Street, and return with a gift and the angel by Dec. 16. The gifts are collected and taken to Linda’s home where her family room is turned into Santa’s workshop to make all the baskets. They are then delivered to Evangel Pentecostal Church, where all the hampers of food are
prepared for distribution. “That’s a pretty impressive sight when everything arrives,” Cook said. “It’s very touching.” The program is strictly for families in the Brighton community, she stressed. “All funds that we raise go right back into buying gifts for the kiddies.” Money left over from last year was used as “seed money” for this season. Christmas morning “has got to be overwhelming” for the families because “they do so well with all the gifts,” and get “a wonderful meal,” Jensen said. “This is the favourite time for me to do something for the community. I love doing this.” Cook said it “gives us all the opportunity to offer other children the same kind of Christmas morning that we’ve been able to offer our own children and grandchildren. “Nothing makes you feel better than giving back to someone else who needs it way more than you do. This is my Christmas spirit.”

Tougher on the ice, than off? No problem, we offer Nitrous and IV Sedation. Just ask us.
A proposal to build one of Eastern Ontario’s largest compost facilities has found a home in Belleville, as the city announced Monday that Astoria Organic Matters Canada LP has teamed up with David Moore & Son Environmental to build an $18-million facility in the city. “We are very excited about bringing this multi-faceted facility to the City of Belleville,” said Allan Hamilton, President and CEO of Astoria Organic Matters Canada LP, which was created through German investment opportunities. “It will be a first of its kind large scale facility in the Eastern Ontario region.” As Astoria is a rather new company, Hamilton explained that a number of municipalities across Canada had been looked at as potential sites for the compost facility, but the partnership with David Moore & Son Environmental had a lot of advantages for both sides. Mainly, the land that the facility is being slated to be built on, a plot on Phillipston Road owned by David Moore & Son Environmental, had already been registered with the Ministry of Environment, meaning there is a minimum of work that needs to be done in order to prepare the site for construction. “It was a perfect fit,” Hamilton said. The facility will be able to process up to 80,000 metric tonnes of organic waste including food, leaf and yard, industrial, commercial and institutional waste, including waste from waste water treatment plants, paper mills, and food processing plants. The facility will include public and municipal receipt of all types of waste that will be sorted and sent further downstream for recycling and rework into various consumer products. Facility construction is slated to begin immediately with site preparation and the first phase is expected to be operating by late spring of 2014, with completion of the facility at full capacity by late summer of 2014. Hamilton said the new facility is expected to provide a minimum of 15 jobs for the area once the plant is operational. “Local support from the MP Daryl Kramp, MPP Todd Smith, the Ministry of Environment and the City of Belleville have been overwhelming in a positive way,” Hamilton added.

EMS makes way for Northumberland Paramedics By John Campbell
News - Northumberland – Northumberland Emergency Medical Services has changed its name to Northumberland Paramedics. Department chief Tarmo Uukkivi said the name change “is consistent with a trend” taking place among emergency medical services across Canada to switch to paramedics “to create a better understanding by the public” of what the profession
does. Half of the ambulance services in Eastern Ontario are identified as paramedic services, with Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes and Lanark having renamed their departments in the past 12 months. Being known as emergency medical services “tends to be a bit ambiguous,” he said in a news release, whereas “everyone is instantly clear when we identify ourselves as paramedics.”
In a recent report to county council, Uukkivi said municipalities throughout Ontario are now acknowledging that “paramedics provide care beyond simply responding to emergencies.” Northumberland Paramedics has also adopted a new vision to go along with its new name. The statement developed over months with input from more than 100 employees affirms the department’s commitment to provide industry-leading health care, and to strive “to achieve the highest level of patient care by using a combination of leadership, critical thinking and teamwork in every challenge (it faces).” SOHO’s
Brighton Barn Theatre
Northumberland’s new Chief Administrative Officer, Elizabeth Savill said the changes formally implemented last week “will enable the team to grow and address new opportunities.” Uukkivi noted in his report that, as his profession continues to evolve “at an ever-faster pace, paramedics are looking toward self-regulation in Ontario.” That would mean paramedicine becoming “a regulated health profession in the same way as physicians, nurses, massage therapists and chiropractors are.”

Northumberland County looks for alternative to provide services for special needs children By John Campbell
News - Northumberland - Northumberland County gave a cool reception to a proposed three-year service and financial plan for the Special Needs Resourcing program provided by the Northumberland Child Development Centre (NCDC). Council authorized staff to come up with a competitive proposal from another agency for review “to ensure due diligence.” The vote was taken without discussion after county council met in closed session Nov. 20. The resolution noted the plan submitted by NCDC, which was to reflect a six per cent reduction in provincial funding Northumberland receives for its child care budget, “failed to address the required key components in sufficient detail.” The plan also did not incorporate all of the recommendations made by a consultant who assisted the centre in developing it. The resolution also noted there are “concerns regarding the value for money and sustainability of the program.” Mark Darroch, director of community and social services, said later his department had asked NCDC for “a variety of reports and submissions, including financial reports and a business plan” showing how it planned to adapt to the $260,000 cut in the county’s child care budget. “Staff were not prepared to support” the plan it received from the centre, Darroch said, citing “a number of concerns with regards to the financial budgets, the reporting (and) service deliverables.” So staff got permission to “look for a comparable,” and will make a full report to council in January, he said. “We have not made any decision yet.” Northumberland Child Development Centre’s executive director Clare Paterson could not be reached for comment. NCDC provides at no charge programs and services for children and youth who require additional support to help them and their families real-
ize their full potential. They include programs for therapy services to 851 children in the county. Its Northumberland team consists of 19 therabehaviour management, speech and language, as well as physical, occupational, play and sensory pists and support staff, 80 per cent of whom live in the county. integration therapies. “We are dedicated to supporting children and Family support programs include Milk for Moms and Simply Supper, along with a variety of parenting workshops. Council’s motion didn’t identify who was the agency being approached for a submission but the county issued a news release Nov. 28 saying it would be reviewing proposals from both the Five Counties Children’s Centre in Peterborough and NCDC to deliver the Special Needs Resourcing program for the area. “Each proposal will be carefully evaluated to determine the agency that can best serve the needs of Northumberland residents,” the county said. “We are always examining how we can best serve the community, and looking at opportunities to strengthen how we address ministry guidelines for distribution of public funds,” Darroch stated, “and, most importantly, (meet) the needs of the children and families who require these services.” Darroch said the county “has been working diligently with all parties throughout this process, and will continue to do so to ensure no disruptions to the children and their families.” In a separate media release, Five Counties Children’s Centre said it has operated therapy centres in Campbellford for 18 years and in Cobourg for 15 years. In the past year, Five Counties has provided
youth with physical, developmental and communication needs and their families,” Five Counties stated. “In partnership with families and communities we strive to enrich their independence and quality of life.”

News - Quinte West - Council has approved a one-year extension on its Ontario Provincial Police contract which would run from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At that time the OPP should have the costing review completed and will be in a position to renew contracts at that time,â&#x20AC;? explained David Clazie, Director of Corporate and Financial Services. On October 4 the city received a letter from Rick Philbin, superintendent of the municipal policing bureau for the OPP, indicating they were reviewing the billing process for municipal policing services provided by the OPP. As a result they would not be in a position to renew the contracts until early 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one-year extension will allow the OPP to carry on policing services in the city under the same terms as they currently do,â&#x20AC;? Clazie said. He added it is important to note that the one-year extension will not shield the city from the 8.55 per cent salary increase coming into effect in 2014. r. A Any tou n ti m The existing contract allowsyfor salary e. Never increases negotiated with the province as well as updating costing formulas. City council also approved a twoyear extension for a contract with Closed Meeting Investigator Services with John Maddox, JGM Consulting, from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2015. The city along with Belleville, Hastings County and Prince Edward County, currently have a contract with the company as required under the Municipal Act on an as-needed basis. The current contract calls for a retainer of $1,000 a year plus an hourly rate of $100 in the event of an investigation request. The rate has remained the same since 2008. Internet voting Council also approved the new internet voting system to take place in the October 2014 municipal election along with regular polling. Clerk Kevin Heath noted that everyone gets a voter card in the mail and can go online to register. Polling sites will go from 18 to 11 locations and there was some concern that elderly voters would not be able to access the fewer polling stations. Retirement Accolades were extended to city clerk DonnaLee Craig who is retiring after 34 years in municipal government. Fire Chief John Whelan noted that they both used to work at a pizza place in Belleville, he as a pizza driver and she as a waitress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve both come a long way,â&#x20AC;? noted Mayor Williams. Fire Training Centre The draw for a truck from Lange and Fetter Motors made $30,000 for the Fire Training Centre. The winner of the truck was announced as George Wilton of Trenton. Norm Mallory Park Jim Harrison noted that the ofďŹ cial dedication of Norm Mallory Park in Wooler will take place this Saturday, December 7 at 11 a.m.
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Conversationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with community yields many ideas to sustain Abundance Project
News - Warkworth - There was no shortage of ideas when organizers of the Abundance Project invited the public to propose key initiatives that would make it sustainable for the long term. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;conversationâ&#x20AC;? with the community held recently at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church yielded a flurry of suggestions from about 20 people in a two-hour brainstorming session related to the food education project. They ranged from holding workshops on handling and storing food, making pasta from local wheat, teaching parents how to pack a healthy lunch, pressing fruits such as wild apples to make juice, and using leftovers, to arranging swaps of preserves, seeds and cookies, staging a junior chef contest, setting up a community garden, and producing packets of soup mix from dried vegetables. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a lot of people do with their leftovers is put them in the fridge, forget about them and then throw them out and I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awful,â&#x20AC;? said NorthumberlandQuinte West MP Rick Norlock who attended the meeting with his wife, Judy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see half of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freezers thrown out (at waste transfer stations) because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to preserve food properly (to avoid) freezer burn,â&#x20AC;? Howard Herscovici said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The food that our children
are eating today is terrible,â&#x20AC;? said Julianna Anderson, a Grade 7/8 teacher at Percy Centennial, who suggested the workshop for parents on healthy lunches. Dean Peters, a member of the steering committee in charge of the Abundance Project, spoke in favour of connecting to the food industry in the county through the niche processing facility being built in Colborne, and engaging youth to form teams to develop their own ideas. There was also a suggestion to establish a local store to sell organic foods produced within a 100-mile radius. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Warkworth would be a perfect fitâ&#x20AC;? for such a project, which would stimulate entrepreneurship, Anne Clark said. David Lyon, another member of the steering committee, said the Abundance Project was launched in June to serve as a community hub that addressed issues of food security and preservation, healthy eating, and sustainable growing practices. Its objective was to bring together local growers, harvesters, food coaches, nutritionists, and public health officials with people who could benefit from their skills and having access to fresh or prepared foods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the beginning we thought big,â&#x20AC;?

provided was spent to equip the on as volunteers and â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just kitchen at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Board letter commends constable, student for rescuing drowning man News - Trent Hills â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Trent Hills Police Services Board has written a pair of letters of commendation to the police officer and summer student who saved a man from drowning last summer. The board credits the â&#x20AC;&#x153;quick thinking and actionsâ&#x20AC;? of Northumberland OPP Constable Doug Fluke and the assistance provided by Joe Dawson for saving the man who was â&#x20AC;&#x153;in danger of drowningâ&#x20AC;? in the Trent River in Campbellford August
27. Mark Stoltz was swimming when the current became too much for him and he began to struggle. Fluke urged him to kick his feet to keep afloat while Dawson went to fetch two life jackets. The officer threw one to Stoltz and put on the other before diving into the water to help him ashore, where he was taken to hospital and made a full recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Constable Flukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions are a reflection of the excellent training and service provided to
the Municipality of Trent Hills by the Ontario Provincial Police, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud to have such a dedicated officer serving in our community,â&#x20AC;? police services board chair Greg Farrant said at a recent meeting, reading aloud the letter addressed to the officer. A similar letter of commendation applauding the efforts of Dawson was also read out by the board chair. Both were presented to detachment commander Inspector Doug Borton.

Fortunately, couch potatoes don’t have to go far to get into shape By John Campbell
Lifestyles - Campbellford - Being a couch potato seems harmless enough but it can get you in trouble. “Research shows that inactive Canadians face an increased risk of obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes and other diseases,” says the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. National guidelines recommend adults should be involved in “moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity” for at least 150 minutes in total a week, but more than 80 per cent of men and women are physically inactive, says the foundation. “Physical activity is a lifesaver. It cuts the risk of heart of disease almost in half.” It also “reduces the risk of cancer, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis (and) helps fight depression, reduces stress

levels and increases your energy.” One more thing; it helps people “avoid bad lifestyle choices such as smoking, drinking or eating too much.” So where to get started on the road to fitness, and to help you stay on track? Look no further than the Campbellford and District Curling and Racquet Club. The registered charitable organization provides facilities for curling, squash and fitness at its Meyers Sports Centre for a membership fee of under $400. Bethany Robertson-Milko joined the club a year ago, “to get in better shape and be healthy” for her two children. She has lost 12 pounds and feels “really good, healthier, more energetic” and takes pride in showing her son and daughter that “it’s good to be healthy and stay active, and not sit around on the couch all day.” Retirees Pat Sheridan and Bill Hogle work out mornings, following a regime they have had for years. Having the convenience of a facility of such quality in town, with the same equipment found in a big gym “means a lot,” Sheridan said. Being able to curl as well is “a real bargain,” Hogle added. Dave Larcombe, 64, became a member after being told last winter by a vascular surgeon he would need an operation to deal with poor circulation in his right foot, where gangrene had developed in a toe. A heavy twopack-a-day smoker for 45 years, he quit the same day and later started working out at the club, riding the bike and using the weight room to get the blood going in his lower body with leg pushes. “It’s been working good,” Larcombe said. “I got pink toes.” His doctor was impressed when Larcombe saw him in September, telling him surgery wouldn’t be needed. Jim Havimaki, 82, and his wife Gloria, 78, have been members for more than a decade. They’re at the club every other day, to hit the squash ball around for a half hour and then head to the weight room. “When you get older you need to do something, otherwise you vegetate ... which is what happens with a lot of

people,” Jim Havimaki said. Alison Gratton, mother of two, works out three times a week on weights and cardio. She does a lot of long distance running and competes in endurance racing with an Arabian mare she has. She has lost 45 pounds since joining the gym three years ago, and her running times have gotten faster as a result. “This place has been fantastic for weight training,” Gratton said, and there’s “a great group of people here.” Her improved fitness has also helped her as a paramedic in Peterborough County, lifting heavy patients. “I’m much stronger than I’ve ever been.” Nancy West is another club member and mother of two who works out regularly, five mornings a week. She also curls and plays squash. She feels “much more energized” being so active and notes “the difference” when she can’t make it to club to exercise.

His good health served him well when he had “an electrical issue with his heart” that caused his pulse rate to drop, requiring him to have a pacemaker installed. He’s also had his right hip replaced. Conte’s specialist told him he was the first person to ask when he could get back to the gym. He spends a couple of hours each time he goes six days a week, making use of nearly every piece of equipment in the fitness room. “You just have to commit yourself to go and do it,” Conte said. “You do your thing, there’s no pressure on you at all to work out. It’s a commitment to your own health.” About half of the club’s approximately 375 members are there to play racquet sports or use its gym equipment.

News - Campbellford - Staff and students at Campbellford District High School spent eight hours in the cold last Thursday night to draw attention to the plight of the homeless and people living below the poverty line. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cold Hands, Warm Heartsâ&#x20AC;? project, the ďŹ rst big event organized by the newly formed student group, CDHS Social Justice League, also raised $2,745 and collected â&#x20AC;&#x153;a mountainâ&#x20AC;? of winter clothing for the Salvation Army. In addition, more than 1,000 food items for the Campbellford and Warkworth Fare Share Food Bank were collected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids were awesome,â&#x20AC;? said Trish Wood, the high school guidance facilitator who helped get the Social Justice League started, after she and 10 students attended a workshop on poverty organized by the district health unit. They came away asking themselves what could they do â&#x20AC;&#x153;to make a difference in our community and the kids have done that,â&#x20AC;? she said. About three dozen students and high school staff set up a modest shelter at the parkette at the corner of Bridge and Front streets November 28 and waved to motorists to honk their horns to show support and to encourage donations. Poverty is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a massive problemâ&#x20AC;? in society but in a rural community such as Campbellford, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an issue thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;quite silent ... so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to bring it to light,â&#x20AC;? Nicholas Pettey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Social justice is such a huge thing,â&#x20AC;? Faith Begbie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to be involved in your community, not only when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a teenager but when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an adult, too ...

Mackenzie Dunham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really did feel like we were homeless,â&#x20AC;? he said, but the feeling dissipated as the evening wore on, he admitted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because we had a lot to eatâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; includ-
ing sandwiches, cookies, and pizza provided by generous local merchants. Businesses in the downtown area also allowed them to use their washrooms. Still, the experience made him realize he and the other students have â&#x20AC;&#x153;got it pretty good ... compared to what other people have.â&#x20AC;? Those living in poverty must decide whether to spend what little money they have on food or heat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people, they do have nights where they go without food because they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;t afford (it),â&#x20AC;? he said. Dunham said it took eight people 10 minutes to unload a van ďŹ lled with bags of clothing at the Salvation Army thrift store the next day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were really grateful for all the clothing we had brought in,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were really surprised, nobody was expecting to have as much as we did.â&#x20AC;? The volunteers at the food bank â&#x20AC;&#x153;were also quite happy,â&#x20AC;? after receiving boxes and boxes of food.

New student at Campbellford High School plans craft show to raise money
By Sue Dickens
News - Campbellford - Music students in the Junior and Senior Jazz Bands at Campbellford District High School (CDHS) are hitting all the right notes as they rally around newcomer Alana Klinaftakis who has a plan to raise money so they can compete at National Musicfest Canada in Vancouver next May. The cost of the trip is $1,900 per student. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought it was a really great idea for the kids who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of money for the trip so we decided if we got a bunch of people to do it together it would be easier,â&#x20AC;? said Klinaftakis, Grade 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Actually it was mostly my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea to do the craft and bake sale,â&#x20AC;? she added. The decision was made to hold not only a craft sale in the high school gymnasium but to have two separate
raffles, one during the craft show and another at a different venue, at Giant Tiger, where Klinaftakis will be selling Christmas cards. The raffle tickets that will be sold will be for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;porch pal snowmanâ&#x20AC;? handmade by her father Ray White. He and his wife Cheryl are big supporters of their daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising effort. And it is a very special relationship that provides that support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alana was a foster child when she was a little girl,â&#x20AC;? explained (Cheryl) White. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have taken her in as ours,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five years ago she came to live with us in foster care for eight months,â&#x20AC;? said (Ray) White. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are now her guardians.â&#x20AC;? Klinaftakis moved in to stay last August and in Sep-
tember began her first year as a student at CDHS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alana is a tremendous young musician, an incredibly good singer and good with the trumpet. She is going to be a leader in this school musically,â&#x20AC;? said Dave Noble, music teacher, who noted parental support is so important to the kids. And support from other band members is also crucial. Meaghan Steinmann, Grade 10, commented, Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;This craft show is a great idea because for a long time thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just been two major fundraisers (Florida citrus sale and Dream Lottery) so this is really good because not every kid has to do it but the kids who want to take the initiative and fundraise for themselves can.â&#x20AC;? She added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;So if one kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really driven to bring their costs down for the trip Alana
has provided this opportunity for us.â&#x20AC;? The National Musicfest Canada music festival is an invitation-only event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a two-year invitation so last year when the bands won gold at nationals . . . if you win gold you get an automatic invitation to go to nationals again. Both bands won gold last May,â&#x20AC;? said Noble. With new students every year the makeup of each band changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the band that wins the gold but no itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kids that win and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different group of kids every year,â&#x20AC;? he added. The first fundraiser will be held Saturday, December 7 at Giant Tiger where Klinaftakis will sell Christmas cards at $1.50 for a box of 10 and $1.95 for a box of 12. One of the two â&#x20AC;&#x153;porch palâ&#x20AC;? snowmen will be raffled that day.

Frankford parade a real hit with the children By Kate Everson
News - Frankford - The Frankford Santa Claus parade on November 30 was a delight of colourful floats and bundled up children, dogs and horses. It was a bright, sunny, cold (but not too cold) day for the 24th annual event organized by co-chairs Lynda Reid and Kathy Rupert and their committee. The music was all there, with the band from Cobourg and the local 413 Wing Pipes and Drums, along with John Finlan of the River Rats Snowmobile
Club singing a great Stompinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tom. The Stirling Citizens Band was there and Quinte West councillors kept warm on a musical float. You could find elves everywhere including the brilliant ones on top of Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s float beside the reindeer. The Quinte West fire department was out in full force with trucks from the local stations filled with cheerful children staying warm inside. Dogs kept warm too bundled up in bright coats, including the Hot Diggity Dogs. Horses wore long red
blankets for the festivities and paraded imaginative creations of the local vol- the Tourist Park until New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s giving unteers. everyone in the community a chance to proudly alongside the floats. It was a great day to be in a parade, The lights will be on every night in get in the spirit of the season. and also for all the families watching it along the road. Children got to meet Santa at the Legion afterwards, having a hot chocolate to warm up, and tell him what they wanted for that magical Christmas day coming soon. Then at 5 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock the lights went on in the Christmas Fantasy in Frankford Tourist Park, now bedecked with hundreds of sparkling lights showing off the

7 Hills Community Pantry moves into the future with Link2Feed technology
News - Warkworth - Link2Feed is a new client input system that all food banks in Ontario will soon connect to bringing places such as the 7 Hills Community Pantry into the technological age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be mandatory for all members of the Ontario Association of Food Banks (OAFB),â&#x20AC;? said Freda Dong, 7 Hills Community Pantry secretary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are already running pilot projects for this with a couple of the larger food banks, such as in Mississauga,â&#x20AC;? she noted. The information that will be collected will â&#x20AC;&#x153;essentially feed the OAFB hunger count data,â&#x20AC;? she explained. Published each year the hunger report puts a face to the problem. Currently manual reports are done annually. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to end up with a computer to do the intake procedure gathering client information, visits, ages of children etc. It will help us check to see how often our clients are coming and to see who we are feeding,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it helps the OAFB if they can report accurate information if they are going to government for funding or to corporate sponsors. Generally itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very useful information,â&#x20AC;? said Dong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anonymous and kept conďŹ dential,â&#x20AC;? noted Gail Covert, chair of the foodbank. One of the beneďŹ ts of being an OAFB member is 7 Hills is eligible to apply for an OAFB grant under a program known as the Rural Kids Grant Program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This initiative is a new grant program exclusively available to rural food banks and the children they serve. We were selected to receive $1,000
to help us to supply nutritional items for school lunches,â&#x20AC;? Covert added. The food bank relies on donations of money and food and support from local organizations like the Warkworth Community Service Club, the United Way and local churches. Now that the countdown to Christmas has begun, the food bank volunteers are trying to stay on top of demand and make sure every one of their clients has a Christmas hamper and plenty of food to see them through the winter. For example, members of St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church â&#x20AC;&#x153;adopt a familyâ&#x20AC;? and provide everything for the Christmas hamper, except for the turkey which the food bank provides. Every month, the 7 Hills Community Pantry helps feed between 50 and 60 people in the community, explained Covert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For 20 to 25 households, adults and children, we provide an emergency supply of basic food items,â&#x20AC;? she explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are only able to operate because of funding from community organizations, agencies and generous donations from individuals in the community.â&#x20AC;? The food bank has about 17 volunteers, sometimes fewer when a few head south in winter, or take holidays in the summertime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The volunteers here are so important,â&#x20AC;? acknowledged Covert. For more information about when the food bank is open, its fundraising projects and volunteering as well as its needs call 705-9242077 or go to their new website created by Dong: www.7hillscommunitypantry.org As an addendum to this article the Campbell-
ford Fare Share Food Bank will also be joining Link2Feed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it will be a wonderful program. The database we have now is very old and it will be great to have something up to date,â&#x20AC;? said Thea Dunk,
treasurer. For the numbers that are coming out of the 2013 Hunger Report go to: http://www.oafb.ca/ tiny_mce/plugins/filemanager/pics_cms/55/255/ Hunger_Report_-_Final.pdf

Fast is good. (when it comes to water heaters)
Whether you rent or own, choose clean, reliable natural gas.
Approx. Annual Savings
$200
Twice as much hot water.That’s fast. Plus a natural gas water heater costs more than $300 less per year to operate than electric.That’s more than $4,300 in savings over the 13-year lifespan of your water heater. And you don’t have to worry about what time of day you use it. Natural gas is the same low price all day long. And, since natural gas costs less now than five years ago, you save even more.
$400
Switch to a natural gas water heater because natural gas heats water twice as fast for 1/3 the cost!

Bulls drop weekend games to Petes, Fronts By Steve Jessel
Sports - The Belleville Bulls started a new era this past week in the wake of trading longtime captain Brandan Gaunce, but after a strong showing in Missisauga the Bulls reverted back to their losing ways in back-to-back losses to divisionrivals Peterborough and Kingston on Thursday and Saturday night, respectively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always pushing for the playoffs... we believe even in our down situation that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in right now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make the playoffs,â&#x20AC;? said assistant coach Jason Supryka. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to think that way until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out of it.â&#x20AC;? The Bulls certainly kicked off the post-Gaunce era on the right foot Wednesday, as just a day after the trade the Bulls snapped a fourgame losing streak with a 5 - 2 pasting of the Mississauga Steelheads. Michael Cramarossa scored a pair of goals and Chad Heffernan added two points to lead the Bulls,
who also found goals from Aaron Berisha and Garrett Hooey. Goaltender Braydon Banitsiotis had one of his ďŹ nest nights as a Bull, allowing just two goals on 35 shots for the teams sixth win of the season. However, two nights later a visit to Peterborough would bring the Bulls back down to Earth. Belleville struggled to ďŹ nd many offensive opportunities in a 3 - 1 loss to the Petes, who recorded 41 shots to Bellevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24. Remy Elie scored the lone goal for the Bulls, drawing a assist from Jake Worrad, and the Bulls went 0-4 on the powerplay. Finally, the Bulls hosted the Kingston Frontenacs Saturday night, and despite coming back from a 4 - 1 deďŹ cit were unable to take advantage of seven Kingston third-period penalties, and ended up losing by a ďŹ nal score of 6 - 4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to blame it strictly on our powerplay, but our inabil-

ity to score when we had the man advantage was probably the difference,â&#x20AC;? said Supryka. Trailing 4-1 with 10 minutes gone in the second period, the Bulls reeled off three straight goals by Aaron Berisha, Jake Worrad and Cameron Brace and looked to have momentum squarely in their favour with a ďŹ ve on three powerplay late in the third period. However, Kingston killed off the penalty, and would kill off two more before the end of the game to give their offense a chance, and Spencer Watson scored the game winning goal with eight minutes remaining, an unassisted marker that fooled Bulls goaltender Banitsiotis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Full our marks to our guys for coming back from 4 - 1 and competing hard,â&#x20AC;? Supryka added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any game thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close where you have the man advantage you would have leaned on (Gaunce)a bit but it gives other guys oppor- Bellevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Braydon Banitsiotis reaches out to attempt a save on Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Henri Ikonen during the Bulls 6 - 4 loss Saturday tunities too.â&#x20AC;? night.

Quinte Red Devils hockey weekly report game ended in a 2-2 tie. Jack Moore was in net for the tie. On Saturday night, the Devils travelled to Oshawa to take on the winless Generals. Early Oshawa penalty trouble and extended offensive zone pressure led to many chances but Quinte could not capitalize. When given a five-on-three powerplay, Oshawa scored to take a 1-0 lead. The Devils continued to grind in an ugly, penalty-filled contest and it eventually paid off. Colin Doyle pulled off the hat trick, while Austin Labelle and Matt Bruinsma also scored for Quinte. Brad Dobson was in net for the win.
The midgets’ next action is December 7 and 8, when they will take part in the OMHA/ETA Minor Midget Showcase. They will have the opportunity to play in front of Ontario Hockey League scouts in games against the Barrie Colts , and the North Central Predators in a tournamentstyle weekend.
Bantams In a re-match of last year’s OMHA Minor Bantam final, the Duvanco Homes Bantams played three solid periods of hockey on their way to a 4-2 win over the York-Simcoe Express. Goals came from Nick Hoey, Colin VanDenHurk, Tanner Sheppard, and Elliott McDermott, and assists were provided by Ryan Smith, Scoley Dow, Keegan Ferguson, Dominic Della
Civita, Aidan McFarland, VanDenHurk, and McDermott. Anthony Popovich turned aside 21 shots in goal for the Red Devils. On Saturday in Lindsay, the Bantams ripped the Central Wolves 8-0. Ryan Smith scored a hat trick,
and Aidan McFarland and Jakob Brahaney each had three assists. Mac Lowry picked up two goals, and Colin VanDenHurk contributed two assists, and single goals came from Ryan Fraser, Shelby Rienstra, and Nick Hoey. Hoey’s goal came
when the Devils were two men short. Dominic Della Civita, Scoley Dow, Elliott McDermott, and Keegan Ferguson also chipped in with assists. Aidan Cameron earned the shutout with a strong performance in goal for Quinte.

Four minutes later, Austin Fry buried a point shot past the Wolves keeper (assists to Gavin Stevenson and Trent Schutt). A good start was squandered as Central came back to score two goals and the

Nativity display draws more scenes and more visitors By Diane Sherman
News - Madoc - A new tradition has started in Madoc by Al and Sharon Danford with help of the congregation of St. John the Baptist Anglican church. Last year the couple organized a display of nativity scenes by asking community members to loan their personal sets to the church for a one day open house. Danford said they did not charge an admission for the showing. “As you know our collection plates are always at the front of the church and last year people left money in them, so this year we put a sign over the plates saying all donations would go to the Philippine disaster relief fund.” He said organizers were “thrilled when we counted the money and found $500 left in the
plates.” Danford noted with the government matching incentive, $1,000 from Madoc’s Nativity Display is going to help victims of the typhoon. Visitors were greeted with hot cider and cookies and there was much conversation over the history and origins of some of the family heirlooms. Though the showing fell one short of 100 different sets, organizers were encouraged to do it again next year, perhaps with a bit of written history to specific scenes, like the one made by the late Francis Clark who was one of the first fatalities of the listeria outbreak a few years ago. “Each nativity set has a family history,” said Danford. “We are so pleased everyone is willing Elvi Brownson looks over a few of the 99 Nativity scenes on display at the second Nativity Display hosted by Al and Sharon to share.” See more photos on page 3 Danford at St. John the Baptist church in Madoc. Local residents loaned their collections for all to enjoy. Photo: Diane Sherman

Entertainment - Trent Hills - Len Carr became a performer at age 45 after he began experiencing chronic pain that eventually forced him to quit work as a welder/outfitter. The pain is still there – “my shoulders hurt like hell” – but it disappears the moment he begins playing his guitar and singing songs for nursing and retirement home residents. “When I’m playing for them, I don’t feel that pain,” he says. “(It) stops.” Now 68, the retired Hastings resident has been entertaining seniors at homes throughout the area for more than 20 years. He considers them part of his family. Many of them don’t have one “and nobody comes around,” he says. “What we do makes up in a little way what they miss.” Carr doesn’t know what to say to them “but I can sing and entertain and they get involved,” singing along with him. It’s great fun for them but even “a little more” for him because of the joy it brings him to make others feel good for the hour to 90 minutes he’s there putting on a show, or party, as he calls it. “We just love him ... he’s great,” says Lenore Webster, a resident at Maple View Retirement Residence in Norwood where Carr gave a show recently.

Musician eases pain by bringing joy to retirement and nursing home residents “We’ve always enjoyed Len,” says Joan Hornsby, whose late husband got Carr started on the guitar by showing him how to play a few chords. “He went from there.” Marie Hall, another resident, says “It’s nice to hear the old tunes” she grew up with. “I enjoy his music very much,” she says. “I’m the most requested entertainer of all the places that I go, because I try to make everyone of them feel special,” Carr says. “That’s the payback.” The gas money he’s paid doesn’t come close to covering what it costs to insure, maintain and repair his vehicle but performing is what he’s “supposed to do,” after learning he had been given the gift of music. “At first I didn’t understand what the gift was about,” Carr says, He thought it was to play in bars “and make a lot of money,” with the help of many musician friends who taught him how to play (although he’s never learned to read music). He realized later playing bars was not for him. “Everybody gets a gift in their life but most of them never figure out what they’re supposed to do with it,” Carr says. “I’m lucky I found it.” He started a Saturday night jamboree Len Carr serenades residents at Maple View Retirement Residence in Norwood.

that lasted 22 years, first in Campbellford and then Hastings. He formed his own band more than a decade ago, and they played at parks, fairs and anniversaries, but his Christmas show with Country Express will be his last with the group, as he plans to focus on “what I love, it’s what I want to do.” He’s “busier now than (he) ever was with the band.” Carr performs 125 shows a year at retirement and nursing homes in eight communities, from Stirling to Oshawa, and he’s been asked to add to his bookings. “Every time we go to play, the residents are waiting eagerly for us with big smiles,” Carr says. “If there were two of me I’d be really Lenore Webster, a resident at Maple View Retirement Residence in Norwood, is a big fan of musician happy, I could do twice as much.” Len Carr. Photo: John Campbell
He has around 1,500 tunes in his repertoire, which he increases each year with songs from today that “have a message.” Throughout his show, he tells jokes, and banters with his wife of 48 years, Rosanne, ribbing each other, to the delight of their audiences. They’ve raised thousands of dollars for worthy causes over the years, helping cancer patients, burn victims, and families who lost their homes to fire, among others. “I don’t like what I do, I love what I do,” Carr says. “What goes around comes around and the more good you do, the more it comes back to you ... If everyone were to try to do something nice for someone else, without anything in return, what a wonderful world we would have.”

Former missionary still serves God through her paintings By John Campbell
Entertainment - Trent Hills - It wasn’t until late in life that Anneke Newman came to realize she could paint and use her ability to help others. She took up painting in 2008 when someone she knew tried it and discovered he enjoyed it, so she thought it “would be fun to do sometime.” Newman took a ten week Loyalist College course taught by area artist Lucy Manley and proceeded to develop her own style, which is now on display at the Campbellford Library. What she learned from Manley “got me over the shock of putting paint on a white canvas,” she said. She works in oil “because it is forgiving, I can wipe it off.” Newman, 72, used to draw when she was a child growing up in Holland before leaving in 1963 to live in Canada where she met her husband, Clint. They worked as missionaries in Swaziland and South Africa between 1971 and 1999, before settling down to retirement in Trent Hills in 2003, although Clint continues to preach
now and then at the Norwood Baptist Church. Her paintings are based on photos she and others have taken. “I love nature and places that are special to me,” such as can be found outdoors in back of the couple’s Hastings area home. A good portion of the more than 20 pieces hanging on the library walls are portraits, including those of the Newmans’ three daughters. She’s drawn to people’s eyes. “It’s when you put the little light spots in there (that the painting) comes to life. It does something.” Newman paints even though “it’s a challenge because it really takes all my concentration ... it just doesn’t come naturally.” She does it for the “quietness” it brings, along with the satisfaction. “It’s really a lovely hobby,” Newman said, but it’s more than that. “I look at it as a gift from God,” she said. When she sells her paintings, “I have a certain percentage that I put aside and that’s the Lord’s money. If he
lays something upon my heart, it will go to people that need it.” Newman has used proceeds from her paintings to help the poor in Israel and a South African family whose mother became very ill and was hospitalized for many weeks in London, England. “It’s God’s gift given to me and he can use it the way he wants to use it,” she said. Newman describes herself as “a detailed person” who’s “very realist” in her art. She hopes viewers of her work will take with them a feeling of tranquility and an appreciation of “the beauty that God has put in people (and) nature.” Newman said the couple’s missionary work in Africa involved “church planting” – “we had the joy of starting several churches” – although they had not been trained for that. “But when God takes you there, and he opens the door and he shows the need of things, you look at the tools he has given you and how can we use them,” she said. “So that’s how we would go about it. It was a natural

thing, really.” Their years in South Africa was “time well spent, it’s our other home,” as well as home to two of their daughters and their families, and some very good friends, Newman said. She became a member of the Spirit of the Hills in 2009 and her piece
called Lingering Winter, featuring a half-frozen pond, was judged best painting and named People’s Choice in the organization’s Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival juried art show and sale held last spring. Her paintings will remain on display at the library until January 9, 2014.

ed individuals committed to sharing their knowledge and expertise in order to promote Hastings County products. Harvest Hastings Coordinator Louise Livingstone was pleased with the turnout, noting it was also an opportunity for members to get together and share some of their experiences from the last year as well as hear some presentations on various aspects of the business of agriculture.

Fiddle maker Luke Mercier explained that there are significant treasures to be found in the woods in Hastings County. But admittedly, he says, those treasures are both elusive and rare. Instrument makers are after materials that fit a range of criteria, including density, dryness and any outstanding markings in the grains, Mercier noted, adding there just might be a small fortune to be had from a single tree. It is not unusual, he says, for a single piece of wood less than a metre long to cost hundreds of dollars. Roger Kelly, who has been growing blueberries near Bancroft for 37 years, discussed the importance of product pricing both to the producer and to the consumer. And determining the value of a product, he says, involves significant research and data collection, ranging from fuel consumption to projected yield, as well as strong consideration for what the market will bear.

Warden Rick Phillips welcomed the crowd of about 80 people last Thursday night, thanking them for their collective contribution to promoting the area on behalf of the county and its municipalities. Phillips also introduced the county’s new business coach and enterprise facilitation coordinator Mary Doyle, who was also in attendance along with Economic Development Manager Andrew Redden. Prior to the annul meeting, which included financial and annual reports as well as the electing of officers for the 2014 board, attendees were treated to a local dinner of cauliflower, potato and leek soup, beef in onion and wine sauce, maple cinnamon pork, vegetables and dessert exquisitely prepared by chef Andreas Appelbaum and his kitchen staff. Following the meal, which earned the serving team a warm round of applause upon their introduction, several members provided brief presentations offering insights into different aspects of agriculture. Speakers included Kara Enright of the Enright Cattle Company, musical instrument maker Luke Mercier and berry farmer Roger Kelly of Kelly’s Berry Farm. Enright focused on labeling and tracking of products, using their family farm in Tweed as an example of how to ensure each cut of meat can be easily traced back to the source. While there has never been a single case from the Enright farm, reports of tainted food products have become increasingly common and the information would allow for the recall of any questionable products and the ability to isolate the cause and correct any problems.

TRAVEL
A walk with the Pied Piper of Hamelin
The pied piper tours the streets of Hamelin.
As in the fairy tale itself, youngsters still seem to be attracted to the pied piper.
Lifestyles - In last week’s travel feature, I talked about Germany’s Fairy Tale Route, from Hanau to Bremen, which focuses on the lives and fairy tale collections of Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm. Well, this week, I plan to concentrate on one specific tourist destination along this route: Hameln (the German spelling of this city). I was first attracted to this destination because of one of the Brothers Grimm specific fairy tales, The Pied Piper of Hamelin, which is set in this location. After my visit, I saw that many other tourists are drawn here for the same reason – and the city is certainly aware of this, too. Therefore, I found many references to this tale throughout the city, including a pied piper clock-work figure, a golden rat statue atop a bridge, pied piper statues and paintings, and a rat trail (with rats sketched into the cobblestone streets) that leads to several specific connections to the ancient story. The tourist office even supplied me with information on a jump drive – in the shape of a rat! The actual event supposedly happened here in the year 1284, when a pied piper was hired by the mayor to get rid of the rat problem for a fee of 1,000 florins. This stranger, dressed in bright red and yellow clothes, successfully accomplished this task – by playing his flute and luring all of the rats out of the city and into the nearby river, where they all drowned. However, when the rat plague ended, the mayor relinquished on his deal and did not pay the piper. He simply said: “Playing a tune on a flute is not worth 1,000 florins. Get out of Hamelin!” Indeed, the pied piper did leave, according to the tale that was retold orally for hundreds of years and then written down by the Brothers Grimm. But he returned on a Sunday morning, during a church service. He began to play a tune again in the streets, and this time all the children followed him out of Hamelin and into the mountains. A cave suddenly opened up, the children entered, and the cave closed – and the children were never
seen again. This rather spooky story may not be the most comforting bedtime story to read to a youngster, but it’s typical of several of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, for there was a warning in many of them. Today, for this particular tale, we might say that the lesson to be learned is that a child should not wander off with a stranger. However, some found such a story just a little too morbid, and Walt Disney Studios, for example, gave it a much happier ending when it was adapted into a children’s film. In the cartoon version (which I watched in Hameln), when the children walk into the cave in the mountain, it’s a heaven-like place, a candy land. One child
approaches the cave on crutches, but can then discard them and run and play with the others – and all are dancing and happy and eating free candy! I toured the city of Hameln with the pied piper himself! He’s been a regular tourist attraction here for well over a hundred years, and this latest version of the legendary pied piper is actually Michael Boyer, and although he has lived here for many years, he’s actually from the United States (Pennsylvania). He was dressed in his very colourful outfit, making him look somewhat like a mediaeval court jester, and he played his flute and led me through the streets. There was a lot of staring, but he was obviously very used to it! On this
particular day, several children came up to talk to him, so this reminded me of the actual luring in the tale itself! As we strolled along, the pied piper would talk about the tale, and he pointed out the gable of the Hochzeitshaus (Wedding House), where a wooden pied piper would emerge three times a day “for the tourist’s viewing pleasure.” He showed me the Rat Catcher House, with its inscription in German that retold the story about the tragic loss of the Hamelin children in 1284. He pointed out the sandstone façades found on many of the old wooden houses in the city centre, and he described this appearance as looking “like Swiss cheese or waffles.” He also confided
A ‘rat trail’ leads to the city’s main attractions that link to the fairy tale.
that one of the reasons for the many large families back in mediaeval times was “the lack of good TV programming.” (Ha! Ha!). Tours of the city with the pied piper may be arranged through the tourism office. On summer Sundays “The Pied Piper Open-Air Play” is re-enacted at noon – and
on Wednesday afternoons, at 4:30 p.m., the musical “Rats” is performed. We’re probably more familiar with the popular, long-running musical “Cats”, based on the poetry of T.S. Eliot, but Hameln performs a 40-minute “Rats” production instead, which fits into their actual fairy tale far better.

duction, he says, has been more of the same. Baldwin, who performed on the Stirling Festival Theatre stage earlier this season in Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks, is back playing Dame Rose in this year’s panto, Rapunzel, and also marking his eighth performance in the seasonal favourite romp that takes a light-hearted run at some well-known fairy tales. Rapunzel: A hairy tale runs until New Year’s Eve. His long-term relationship with the local theatre combined with a feeling of familiarity among the cast members makes this time of year a particularly special one. “I feel like Stirling is my second home,” he says, “and doing the (Christmas) show here is always a lot of fun.” Formerly based in Toronto, Baldwin now lives in Omemee where he is also a hot yoga practitioner and instructor. He has no regrets about leaving the city behind and he keeps any work opportunities there well within reach. And yoga, he says, provides a perfect outlet for the demands of theatre as well as a brief distraction from the pressures that sometimes result. Auditions are never easy, he says, and parts can be won and lost based on seemingly arbitrary rules. But for Baldwin, theatre has provided him with a career that has now spanned nearly 15 years and included some of his favourite roles and, at the end of the day or the run or the season, has proved to be far more pleasure than pain. “When it stops being fun, I’ll stop doing it,” he says. But at the moment the thought is inconceivable. “It’s great to be back in Stirling and it’s great to be working with this cast,” he says. “It really is like a family.” Baldwin is among several cast members making subsequent appearances in this year’s panto but the addition of some new faces always alters and refreshes the experience, he say. And this year’s artistic team, he adds, is as good as any he has worked with. “We really do have fun up there, and people see that,” he says, noting the panto is always a more lively and interactive show than typically staged dramas, comedies and farces. And the audience, he says, has been highly receptive. The cast also includes Debbie

Zambia native shares stories with local Grannies for Africa News - Belleville - On November 28, Quinte Grannies for Africa held a fundraiser for the African grandmothers and their orphan grandchildren, organized by Kathy Shortall and her Granny team. Close to 100 people attended the event at St. Thomas’ Anglican Church and enjoyed a multitude of beef, lamb, turkey
or vegetarian chills. But that was not the best part of the evening. They all came to hear Ida Mukuka, a native of Zambia and fieldworker for the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF). Mukuka was featured in Stephanie Nolan’s book: 28 stories of AIDS in Please see “African” on page B11

She got married, not for love but for education, and she felt that was the only way she could get it. She wants her children to be able to marry for love. When she herself tested positive, it made her more determined to fight as hard she could as an activist. (Her husband also died when her children were still small.) “I always tell myself, I live with HIV. I do not want my children to live with HIV. I want it to end here,” Mukuka said. Mukuka then talked about some of the places she had been. The first time she went to Ethiopia, she started to meet with grandmothers. Frequently, she would hear stories of mothers with 10 children who had all died, and mothers who then take care of four grandchildren. Other people told her they had six children and they all died, and soon Mukuka had to stop talking to the grandmothers as this was too much for her emotionally. She went back after a project was started with money from the SLF and could not believe her eyes. “Is this the same grandmother? Is this the same community?” she asked. They were excited to show Mukuka a little table and a little teapot. They also said, ‘I have saved $2, I have saved $ 3.’ All of this had been possible by the small income generated by projects through the SLF. In 2007, Mukuka went to visit the Maasai women in the bush in Logido, Tanzania. This close community denied the fact that there was AIDS. There was no hospital and people with AIDS were cursed and were supposed to die.

The two sides of Snow White featured at Empire

From December 6 to 21, the Empire Entertainment - Belleville - One show, sun goes down, the “naughty” version two very different audiences: Snow of the production will leave adults with Theatre will play host to Moonpath White and the 7 Vertically-Challenged their sides in stitches, promises director Productions’ unique take on the classic By Steve Jessel
Snow White fairytale, but there’s a special twist. Three of the performances, taking place on December 8, 14 and 21 are family-oriented, fun performances aimed at entertaining every member of the family, but the rest of the performances are distinctly adult in nature. Smith explains that while there is no vulgar language or nudity in the adult performances, the content of the jokes, and the look of the costumes is significantly different from the children’s shows. “It follows the classic tale of Snow White, which of course everyone knows,
“Some of them you just know that you’ve planted a seed, and that they will remember theatre as being the best time ever.” but we take the tale and just twist it a bit, we still get to the happy ending,” Smith said. “I guarantee that Snow White will meet her prince and live happily ever after, but the journey there takes some odd twists and turns along the way.” While there are some obvious limits on the kid’s shows, in a way Smith said
they’re among her favourites. Combining the spectacle of musical theatre with the wry humour of vaudeville, Snow White offers grand musical and dance numbers, slapstick comedy and improvisation from the cast of eight professional actors. Smith said it’s one of the best ways she can think of to introduce children to the theatre for the first time. “They’re sitting forward in their chairs, their eyes as big as saucers,” she said. “Some of them you just know that you’ve planted a seed, and that they will remember theatre as being the best time ever.” When the sun goes down, the restraints come off, and the cast is free to explore the adult side of the script and production. Improvisation isn’t just an option, it’s a guarantee. Smith said pop culture references such as Rob Ford and Miley Cyrus have a tendency to find their way into the production, as the actors are always looking for new jokes to keep the performance fresh. “It’s one of the only times adults will come to see a theatre production, because they know they will laugh themselves silly,” Smith said. “They’ll be hurting for two days after.” Tickets for both versions of the performance are on sale at the Empire Theatre website, along with a full schedule.

Children sell planter sticks for seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dinner By Kate Everson
News - Quinte West â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Three children at Prince Charles School in Trenton have hearts of gold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are selling planter sticks for the seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Christmas dinner,â&#x20AC;? says John Dolton, ten. John and his brother Michael, eight, and sister Caroline, seven, are raising funds for the free dinner for single seniors at Club 105 for the third year in a row. The ďŹ rst
year they raised $50 going door to door and asking for donations. Last year they helped raking leaves and cleaning up yards to raise $100. This year they came up with the planter sticks with help from their mother Kim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got the Christmas balls and the shisk-ka-bob sticks and stuck them together,â&#x20AC;? explained John. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You stick them in a planter for a decoration.â&#x20AC;?
The children were selling the planters for one or two dollars at the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bazaar on November 28. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to raise $150 this year,â&#x20AC;? smiled John hopefully.

Trenton Santa Claus Parade winners
News - Quinte West - The Trenton Santa Claus Parade delighted hundreds of spectators with many floats, marching bands and entertainers on November 24. Despite the cold winter chill in the air, everyone was in high spirits and enthusiastic crowds lined the streets from Centennial Park to Queen St. to see what is undoubtedly one of the best parades in the Quinte region. “It is amazing to see the effort and creativity from businesses, schools and community groups,”
says Suzanne Andrews, chamber manager. “Almost one hundred floats decorated for the holidays lit up the streets and kicked off the holiday season. While the cold drove away many before the end of the parade, everyone appreciated all the hours of work that goes into each float.” “This parade could not happen without support and generous donations from local businesses, service groups and individuals. They make the Trenton Santa Claus Parade possible,” says
Andrews. “On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to thank Brian Swartman and Brad Graham and all the volunteer firefighters from Station 1 for ensuring the floats were all lined up on time and the parade ran smoothly,” says Jillian McCormick, parade coordinator. “A special thank you to Wayne Campbell from Montrose Inn, his continued dedication helps to make this parade a success every year.” Wayne volunteers

The Good Earth:
Dan Clost Lifestyles - Okay, here is winter. Now what do we do? Certainly we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bundle ourselves up in a nice cosy chair and read seed catalogues whilst sipping a fortifying beverage. Sorry to say it so bluntly, Gentle Reader, now is time to, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Suck it up, Buttercup,â&#x20AC;? we have some work to do. Now is the time to make sure your
Time to protect plants for winter
plants are protected for the winter. The ground is pretty much frozen on the top and very little surface moisture is going to find its way down to the roots. Of course, immediately after writing this the gardening gods are going to expose my hubris and give us two full weeks of above freezing temperatures with daily rain showers. However, it is possible that this column might slip past their radar. The thing to do is prevent further moisture loss from the plant which is caused mainly be desiccating effects of winter winds. What to do? An anti-desiccant will be helpful. For the most part, it is preferable to apply this product late fall when the temperatures are hovering several degrees above freezing, the sun is shining and the breeze is not blowing. The idea is to have the liquid cover the plant and stick to it, not freeze to it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re past that time but there may be windows of opportunity of several afternoons in mid-December for
an application. If this doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen, then be alert to the first opportunity for similar situations in late winter, early spring. Be aware, GR, that there is a mild controversy as to how late you can apply this product but, for a couple of dollars, I would use it if the conditions are right. Mind you, the best thing you can do is to put the right plant in the right place (RPRP) so that winter winds and other challenges are mitigated. The next task is to create a windbreak around sensitive plants such as Japanese maples and freshly planted yews amongst others. A burlap screen is the easiest and cheapest step but the view is less than aesthetic. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back to RPRP. This being Canada, albeit a relatively southern portion of this great land, we know that winter sticks around a long time and our gardens should reflect that reality. This was a round about a way of saying it seems to be counterproductive to design for winter interest
and then shroud the plants in ugly brown wrappers. Compromise for now; deal with re-design later. I am not a fan of the mummy-wrapped conifer or broad-leafed evergreen. If you are going to go beyond a simple windscreen and completely cover a shrub, then use some stakes or bamboo poles to create a tepee. That way the leaves are protected from sunburn, windburn and the burlap itself. The next two winter injury situations are caused by you and me. We create woody perennial borders along our driveways and paths and then pile all of our shovelling and plowing efforts on top of them. Hydrangeas, buddleia, weigela, caryopteris (shall I continue?) will all suffer greatly. (RPRP) We then â&#x20AC;&#x153;saltâ&#x20AC;? our roads, drives and walkways with various combinations of liquid brine and rock salt. Salt spray from roadside plowing can cause damage to new buds. You can erect a burlap screen
There are options to end bullying Lifestyles - Another horrific case of online bullying recently hit the news. Twelve-year-old Rebecca Sedwick climbed a water tower and jumped to her death after being taunted and attacked by a 12-year-old and a 14-year-old. The sheriff in Florida arrested the two instigators and released their pictures. While the charges have since been dropped, the bulliesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; parents have done the news circuit. As I watched a bit of the media circus, it became clear that these bullies were absolute losers. They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going anywhere in life. And while the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother appears eloquent, these kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; parents (one of whom has since been charged with child abuse herself) show that the apple didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall far from the tree. We think that the way to battle bullying is holding character classes in schools, monitoring our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook, and
encouraging intervention by school officials. But I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re missing a key ingredient about why bullying is so devastating: to these kids, their peer group, pathetic as it may be, is their whole life. When peers turn on them, they feel completely alone and useless. Listening to the story in Florida, I found myself wishing that Rebecca could have had some perspective. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a relatively happily well-adjusted forty-something woman (notwithstanding those hormonal surges), and I never, ever talk to anyone I knew in middle school or high school. If I were to see them on the street, I doubt Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d remember who most of them were. In school youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thrown together, through no choice of your own, with kids of the same age. As an adult, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to restrict your friends to those born in the same calendar year, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re free
to choose friends that you actually like. Most adults I know do not hang around with people they knew in school. Those kids, who wield so much power over you at fourteen, are forgotten at 34. If teens could just understand that their current tormentors wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter at all in just a few short years, then perhaps weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have fewer kids devastated by bullying. What we need more than character classes, then, is to give our kids perspective. I survived high school by simply not caring much about my peers. Although I had pleasant conversations with many classmates, I walked home for lunch everyday so I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to sit in the cafeteria. My life revolved around my church youth group and my two part-time jobs, where I worked with people of a variety of ages. I spent most of my social time outside the school, so school really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter.
or locate plants beyond the spray zone. You can also wash (spray with a garden hose) the plants in the early spring before the buds open. In situations where you can control the de-icing choices, simply stay away from salt. Rodent damage. Rabbits and mice. Mice nibble around the bottom of the plant, rabbits chew away at a higher level of the same diner. Urban encroachment on predator habitats has resulted in many, many (many to the nth exponent) rabbits. Poison baits will work, but then they will also work on Miss Puss and Fido. Wrap the trunks with plastic or wire mesh tree guards and spray with Plant-Skydd. Remember to raise the height of the protection as the snow pack builds; Flopsy will stand on her tippy-toes. When that is done, maybe you can take a break, at least a short one, before you begin winter pruning.
Reality Check:
Part-time jobs can help students feel confident while giving them exposure to other adults who take an interest in them. Getting involved in a place of worship helps kids get plugged in with others who were not all born in the same birth year, while also introducing them to other teens who perhaps donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to their school. Cultivating an area of excellence outside of the school, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in sports or music or a craft, can help kids have something else to concentrate on that can give them a sense of self-worth. School is so unimportant in the broader scheme of things, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for kids to see that when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the throes of teenage angst. Anything we can do to enlarge their world now will diminish the power of bullies to aim those arrows. Yes, words will always hurt, but if teens know â&#x20AC;&#x153;there are other people who care about meâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I
Sheila Wray Gregoire know I am good at somethingâ&#x20AC;?, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;These kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worlds are so pathetic compared to mineâ&#x20AC;?, then much of the sting will be gone.

Feed the Meter campaign helps feed children Seniors raise News - Quinte West/Belleville - Parking may be free during this festive season, in downtown Belleville, Picton and Trenton, however, visitors are invited to put their change in a parking meter, as a donation to Food for Learning. In Quinte West, the Feed the Meter campaign began last weekend, in advance of the Santa Claus parade. This Saturday will mark the beginning of the campaign in Belleville and Picton, with volunteers flooding the downtown areas to hang the campaign signs on each parking meter. The communities of Bancroft and Stirling do not have street side parking meters, however, virtual meters will allow residents to participate in the Feed the Meter campaign and support their local students. Temporary parking meters will be placed throughout the community, allowing the public to make donations. All proceeds—100% of the funds collected—will be returned to the schools in the communities where
the funds were raised and will be used to purchase groceries for the various meal and snack programs in those communities. In Hastings and Prince Edward Counties, thousands of children are attending school hungry every day. Food for Learning programs in local public and Catholic schools minimize that hunger by providing breakfast, snack and lunch programs to their students. Children and youth require adequate nutrition in order to maximize their learning in the classroom. Through Food for Learning programs, they have access to healthy food that they need to learn, grow and thrive. Programs are available in almost every school in our district and this school year, 154 breakfast, lunch and snack programs are being offered throughout Hastings and Prince Edward counties. Between September and June, 800,000 meals and snacks will be served to over 11,000
children and youth. “Hastings and Prince Edward counties has the second highest rate of food insecurity in the Province of Ontario. Food for Learning programs are necessary for the students in our area. We know that children learn better when they are properly nourished. By providing a breakfast, snack or lunch to a student who would otherwise go without, we help improve their ability to concentrate and focus on their learning, leading to increased chance of success at school,” says Maribeth deSnoo, Executive Director of The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation. “The benefits of participating in a student nutrition program are immeasurable. Many students depend on our programs for their daily nutrition. Feed the Meter allows us to continue to provide quality food choices for all students.” The Feed the Meter campaign is supported through the generous
contributions from campaign sponsors Market High Advertising, The Greek Council, and Starboard Communications. We also wish to recognize the following organizations for sponsoring this event in their community: • Bancroft: Hastings Federation of Agriculture, Burke’s Jewelers, Bancroft Motors, Vance Motors and Price Ford. • Belleville: Kellogg’s, Adecco Employment Services, Scotiabank, Paulo’s and Dinkel’s Restaurants • Prince Edward County: Prince Edward Federation of Agriculture, Prinzen Ford, and the Rotary Club of Picton • Quinte West: Tomasso’s Restaurant, HAI Precision Waterjet, Whitley Insurance & Financial Services, Adecco Employment Services, and Wilkinson & Co. • Stirling: Stirling Retired Teachers, and Hastings Federation of Agriculture

News - Campbellford - Help for the survivors of Typhoon Haiyan which hit the Philippines several weeks ago is coming in the form of coins collected by the students at Hillcrest Public School. The Junior Kindergarten/Senior Kindergarten (JK/SK) class was busy on a recent Friday rolling all the coins to get the final tally. By the end of the school day a total of $891.49 had been collected. “We kicked off our ‘Loose Change for the Philippines’ campaign on Monday with students bringing in their
nickels, then Tuesday it was dimes, Wednesday quarters, Thursday loonies, and on Friday we collected Toonies,” said Joy Petherick, Early Childhood Educator and teaching partner. “As our Kindergarten class spearheaded this campaign we have been sorting, counting and rolling coins each day,” noted Petherick. Sarah Real, the classroom teacher, said the project was inspired by her daughters who attend Percy Centennial School in Warkworth, where students have also been fundraising for the relief effort.
feel happy and make them have a really good day,” she added. A map was put up in the classroom and the students were shown where the Philippines is located and how far away it is. “We showed them pictures of flattened houses and we were very conscious not to say anything about lives lost,” she explained. “A lot of the kids knew that there are people who have lost their homes. Even this morning Piper Nicholas, a student in this class, said these people don’t have food or water so they are saying things we’ve said,” said Petherick. Four-year-old Alana Huble knew what the coin collection was all about. “We are putting together the money.” Five-year-old Lief Jonk agreed. “We are sorting it for the Philippines,” he said with a very serious face. “As a result of their efforts the students are far more aware of the world around them and we are very proud of the support they gave to such a worthwhile cause,” she concluded.

“The entire school at Hillcrest has been participating,” Real told the Trent Hills Independent. Making reference to the book Fill a Bucket: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Young Children, Real explained, “We were talking to the children about kindness and reading the book about filling buckets and doing for others and this (collecting coins) was the logical next step.” Hillcrest school Principal Constance Hodson noted, “The concept is when you are doing something nice for someone you are filling their bucket. And the opposite is if you’re not nice you’re taking out of their bucket and we want everyone to have a full bucket.” Five-year-old Molly Graham grasped the concept very quickly and drew a picture of a bucket. “I am filling buckets,” she said with a big smile as she held up her drawing. “We asked her what makes you happy and she drew this picture,” explained Petherick. “We had this discussion yesterday and followed up with what makes you happy and how can you make others
