News - Brighton - The ofďŹ cial launch of the Brighton Downtown Revitalization Project will take place next month at the King Edward Community Centre. Data still has to be collected before a plan is put together as part of a four-stage process but the public will be given an overview at that time of “what’s going to be involved,â€? Economic and Revitalization Co-ordinator Laurie Caouette said last week. “We want to make sure that the public knows that this is an important project for the municipality, and to make sure they let members of council know as well, that they want to see it done,â€? Caouette said following the fourth meeting of the Downtown Revitalization Advisory Committee. In addition to being invited to the launch set for 2 p.m. January 18 at the community centre, residents will be asked to help design an action plan by taking part in a survey to be distributed in January. It’s intended to measure current shopping patterns, identify an “ideal mix of businesses and services to meet community needs,â€? reveal what their perceptions are of the downtown, and guide future downtown projects. A draft copy of the survey made available at the meeting included ques-

tions such as how often residents visit the downtown and the top three reasons why they choose to shop or not shop there. There are questions as well about the need for improvements to the appearance and safety of the downtown and what additional businesses or services are required. The survey also asks respondents to rate various aspects of the Downtown Business Area and to give their thoughts about living there. One section is devoted to the community as a whole, such as the importance of heritage buildings to Brighton’s character or whether or not preservation efforts should be subsidized by taxpayers. Residents will also be invited to make suggestions about services or facilities for seniors and for youth, and any special events they want see offered in the downtown area. All information provided will be treated conďŹ dentially. A survey of business owners will also be conducted as part of the information gathering that includes an inventory being done of buildings and businesses, and an analysis of the business mix. The template for downtown revitalization projects was developed by the Ontario Ministry of Food, Agriculture

Teamwork brings smiles
Continued from page 3 By Joyce Cassin
News - Brighton - Between 413 Wing, its ladies auxiliary, and the Royal Canadian Legion Brighton Branch 100, there were beaming smiles and laughter from the residents at Maplewood Lodge Thursday afternoon. Santa came Ho Ho Ho’ing through the doors, he just had his suit cleaned and didn’t want to soil it before the big day, handing out presents and lots of cheer. And these groups have been bringing joy to the residents’ faces for years, said Master Warrant OfďŹ cer Aidan Blake. “It’s our way to show appreciation and put smiles on people’s faces,â€? he said. The association from 8 Wing Trenton,
warrant ofďŹ cer and sergeants mess, supplied the drinks and the band, while the ladies auxiliary made the sandwiches and other goodies. Brighton Legion brought the wine, plus a gift for Santa to hand out to each of the close to 50 residents. And members of the Forces and other volunteers danced and sang with the residents, making it a fun afternoon for all. “The residents have been looking forward to this event for weeks,â€? Branch 100 third vice, Bob Douglas said. “They were lined up down the hallway before we even came in.â€? The group has been providing entertainment and good cheer to Maplewood residents for about 35 years, said Blake.
Student mural artist killed crossing road
By John Campbell
scough spent a month working on the mural that includes images of a saxophone player, a football player crashing through the wall, and a phoenix, the school’s mascot. She remembers Coupland as “as a kind, quiet, young man who was passionate about many things, especially his artwork. We’re devastated by the loss.� Wood played a pivotal role in choosing Coupland and Ainscough for the project and having local artist Beverly Wistowsky assist them. “The wall needed to be painted, we recognized they had this interest and this talent, and we matched them with Beverly,� she said. Many lunch-hour meetings followed “to plan out what would be a neat representation of our school, a wall of pride that showed school spirit and different aspects of the school. The boys came up with the ideas and then Beverly helped them create it. They really brought it to life. It was wonderful.� The funeral service for Coupland is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Friday, December 12, at MacCoubrey Funeral Home in Cobourg. R0013042161
News - Campbellford - A Campbellford District High School graduate who helped create the mural on the concrete wall near the football ďŹ eld was struck and killed by a car last Saturday morning. Durham Regional Police said Keegan Coupland, 20, was crossing Park Road shortly after 6 a.m. when he was hit by a Mazda, southbound on Park, as it passed through the intersection at King Street. Coupland, who was living in Oshawa, “was rushed from the scene to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries,â€? police said. Weather and road conditions “were favourableâ€? when the collision occurred, and “alcohol is not believed to have been a factor.â€? No charges were laid against the Oshawa driver. Anyone with information about the collision or anyone who saw it happen was asked to call Detective-Constable Bryson of the TrafďŹ c Services Branch at 1-888579-1520 ext. 5255. Coupland was a Grade 12 student in 2011 when he and fellow student Mitchell Ain-

Sounds of Christmas raise the spirits
News - Brighton - It was a night of song and fund raising for the Brighton Fare Share Food Bank as the Brighton All Star Concert Band took to the stage at Trinity St. Andrews United Church last Wednesday evening. The band, which formed just more than a year ago, has been practising at East Northumberland Secondary School at 7 every Wednesday night, and has even incorporated the high school students in its ranks, band director Terry Denyes said. “Brighton used to have
a band a long time ago, so I thought it needed one again.” So he advertised in this paper and started out with 12 members, which has now grown to about 40, he said. Members are from as far away as Bowmanville to the west, Belleville to the east, Trent River to the north and Picton to the south, with the majority from Brighton. “We have a lot of talent here in Brighton,” he said. Joining the band for a couple of songs was vocalist Linda Tompkin, music teacher at ENSS. The band performs at ven-
ues such as Memorial Park, Maplewood nursing home, Applefest Lodge, and wherever anyone asks them to play. Although touted as the Sounds of Christmas, the band also played marches, Cowboy Christmas and even the best of Bugs Bunny. That’s all folks! “The church [event] raised approximately 350 dollars and five bins of food for the Brighton Food Bank,” Denyes said.

and Rural Affairs. Caouette said Heather Candler, an agriculture and rural economic development adviser at the ministry’s Brighton office, “will likely give some examples of how it’s been applied in other towns,” such as Cobourg and Port Hope. “Probably the biggest expenditure for us will be looking at getting a consultant for the design process … to come in and do some sketches in terms of what our downtown could look like,” she said. “That will be based on what we receive back from the resident surveys.” For an action plan to succeed, “we’re really going to need [a] buy-in from the private owners,” Caouette said. “We’re hoping [a] facade improvement program will be that incentive … because there’s only so much the municipality can do.” They own the buildings so “we need them to be just as engaged as we are.” Candler said the ministry is providing funding, program support, and “a little bit of coaching” to what is “completely a Brighton initiative”

Cramahe council inaugurates a new team
News - Cramahe - Some sage advice offered at Cramahe Township council’s Tuesday night inaugural meeting was provided by Dr. Doug Galt. “It’s a team,â€? he said, and that they “shouldn’t play like the big guys in Toronto or Ottawaâ€? where there’s a lot of ďŹ ghting going on. He added that teamwork will accomplish a lot, and that they have proven leaders in Mayor Marc Coombs and Chief Administrative OfďŹ cer Christie Alexander. “What we have here are two pillars,â€? he said. “Council is not here to run the municipality, and staff is not here to make policy.â€?
And Coombs agrees. “We have the ďŹ nest and most talented staff in Northumberland,â€? he said. Being mayor for two terms already, Coombs has a proven track record and plans to “grow our local economyâ€? and “keep taxes low.â€? “The groundwork has been laid, and the future looks bright for Cramahe,â€? he said during his inaugural speech. Deputy-mayor Sandra Arthur said she is honoured to be elected and “strongly believes Cramahe has gained a strong council.â€? Although excited by this new chapter in his life, Councillor Donald Clark said that as a rookie, “he
has no idea what he’ll be able to achieve.� Returning to Cramahe council is Tim Gilligan, who is looking forward to great things from the team of council and staff. And last but not least, and single, according to Galt, is Ed Van Egmond, who said that what the new crew lacks in experience, they more than make up for in exuberance. Neighbouring mayors, Mark Walas of Brighton, and John Logel of Alnwick Haldimand, were on hand to wish the new council the best. “Our staff and council are interested in working with you over the next four years,� Logel said.
Cramahe Mayor Marc Coombs receives the chain of office from CAO Christie Alexander during the inaugural meeting on December 2. Brighton Mayor Mark Walas said he was impressed that Alexander didn’t disturb a single hair on the mayor’s head. Photo: Joyce Cassin

The highest electricity rates in North America
Dear Editor, The Liberals claim Ontario’s hydro rates are competitive but they remain the highest in North America. I am going to give you a few examples of hydro rates from British Columbia,
Manitoba and Quebec. In BC, their price is 10 cents per kWh and their only service fee is $6.81 cents. In Manitoba, their price is 7.1 cents per kWh and their only service fee is

$7.38 cents. Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hydro prices are about the same as Manitoba prices. I will give you an example what this means if you had a hydro bill in Ontario of $681 including all of our service charges per month. In British Columbia, your total bill would be $337, including their service charge â&#x20AC;Ś half the price. In Manitoba, the same bill would be $243 including their service charge, just over a third the price and once again Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total bill would be comparable to Manitoba. The Liberals still maintain Ontario is very competitive because they offer certain companies a five per cent discount on their rates which in return means everybody else is paying for this on their bill every single month.

OPINION
National discussion on assault long overdue
Artificial intelligence threat Editorial - The experts run the whole gamut from A to B, and they’re practically unanimous: artificial intelligence is going to destroy human civilisation. Expert A is Elon Musk, polymath co-founder of PayPal, manufacturer of Tesla electric cars, creator of Space X, the first privately funded company to send a spacecraft into orbit, and much else besides. “I think we should be very careful about Artificial Intelligence [AI],” he told an audience at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in October. “If I were to guess what our biggest existential threat is, it’s probably that.” Musk warned AI engineers to “be very careful” not to create robots that could rule the world. Indeed, he suggested there should be regulatory oversight “at the national and international level” over the work of AI developers, “just to make sure that we don’t do something very foolish.” Expert B is Stephen Hawking, the world’s most famous theoretical physicist and author of the bestselling unread book ever, A Short History of Time. He has a brain the size of Denmark, and last Monday he told the British Broadcasting Corporation that “the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.” Hawking has a motor neuron disease that compels him to speak with the aid of an artificial speech generator. The new version he is getting from Intel learns how Professor Hawking thinks, and suggests the words he might want to use next. It’s an early form of AI, so naturally the interviewer asked him about the future of that technology. A genuinely intelligent machine, Hawking warned, “would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete and would be superseded.” So be very, very careful. Musk and Hawking are almost fifty years behind popular culture in their fear of rogue AI turning against human beings (HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey). They are a full 30 years behind the concept of a super-computer that achieves consciousness and instantly launches a war of extermination against mankind (Sky net in the “Terminator” films). Then there’s The Matrix, Blade Runner and similar variations on the theme. It’s taken a while for the respectable thinkers to catch up with all this paranoia, but they’re there now. So everybody take a tranquiliser, and let’s look at this more calmly.

Full AI, with capacities comparable to the human brain or better, is at least two or three decades away, so we have time to think about how to handle this technology. The risk that genuinely intelligent machines which don’t need to be fed or paid will eventually take over practically all the remaining good jobs— doctors, pilots, accountants, etc.—is real. Indeed, it may be inevitable. But that would only be a catastrophe if we cannot revamp our culture to cope with a great deal more leisure, and restructure our economy to allocate wealth on a different basis than as a reward for work. Such a society might well end up as a place in which intelligent machines had “human” rights before the law, but that’s not what worries the sceptics. Their fear is that machines, having achieved consciousness, will see human beings as a threat (because we can turn them off, at least at first), and that they will therefore seek to control or even eliminate us. That’s the Skynet scenario, but it’s not very realistic. The saving grace in the real scenario is that AI will not arrive all at once, with the flip of a switch. It will be built gradually over decades, which gives us time to introduce a kind of moral sense into the basic programming, rather like the innate morality that most human beings are born with. (An embedded morality is an evolutionary advantage in a social species.) Our moral sense doesn’t guarantee that we will always behave well, but it certainly helps. And if we are in charge of the design, not just blind evolution, we might even do better. Something like Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics, which the Master laid down 72 years ago. First Law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Second Law: A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. Not a bad start, although in the end there will inevitably be a great controversy among human beings as to whether self-conscious machines should be kept forever as slaves. The trick is to find a way of embedding this moral sense so deeply in the programming that it cannot be circumvented. As Google’s director of engineering, Ray Kurzweil, has observed, however, it may be hard to write an algorithmic moral code strong enough to constrain and contain super-smart software. We probably have a few decades to work on it, but we are going to go down this road—the whole ethos of this civilisation demands it—so we had better figure out how to do that.

By Stephen Petrick Editorial - Back in 2007, I covered a speech by Fifth Estate journalist Brian Vallee, who was in Belleville to promote his book, The War on Women. The book suggested domestic violence was more of a threat to our society’s well-being than terrorism. It stated that from 2000 to 2006, 4,588 law enforcers or military workers were killed on the job in the United States. But over the same time period more than 8,000 American women were shot, stabbed or strangled to death by the men in their lives. In Canada, over the same period, there were 101 law enforcement or military deaths, yet more than 500 women were killed by their partners. The book was a call for the public to place more attention on violence against women; or at least place the same level of concern toward domestic violence deaths as military or law enforcement deaths. Now, seven years later, our society might finally be taking the issue of violence against women with the seriousness it deserves. Three of the biggest stories in the news lately relate to sexual assault of women (or if not sexual assault, inappropriate relationships with women); those are the tales of radio personality Jian Ghomeshi, comedian Bill Cosby, and ousted federal Liberal caucus member Massimo Pacetti. None of these people have committed the sort of crime Vallee’s book focused on—murder—but the acts they’re accused of is leading to a national discussion on sexual assault and violence, that I believe the veteran journalist hoped to achieve. Ghomeshi, the one-time host of CBC’s Q show, was fired by the national broadcaster when his bosses learned details of his private sex life, which he referred to on a Facebook post as “adventurous.” His claim of innocence seemed to galvanize women from his past. An article published in the Toronto Star on December 1 counted the number of women who’ve since spoken out against Ghomeshi at 15, with many of them alleging he engaged in non-consensual violent acts with them. He’s now facing four counts of sexual assault and one count of choking. His lawyer says he will plead not guilty when the charges are contested in court in January. Cosby is facing similar accusations. As of this writing, 15 women are accusing the comedian of sexually assaulted them; in some cases after drugging them. As of this writing, no charges have been laid. And then there’s the case of Pacetti, one of two MPs kicked out of the Liberal caucus by Justin Trudeau in October. A recent Globe and Mail

article suggests the reason Pacetti was kicked out of caucus was that he had sex with a female NDP Member of Parliament, who did not give consent. The newspaper protected the identity of this MP, but published her story in which she says the two were in a hotel room when Pacetti allegedly grabbed her and the two had sex before any explicit consent was given. Pacetti has since denied any wrongdoing. There are some striking similarities in all of these stories. They all involved men who were public figures and had some degree of power. And right now, these stories are nothing more than allegations. Cosby and Pacetti are not facing any charges from police. And while Ghomeshi has been charged, the allegations have yet to be proven in court. Yet, it’s hard to feel sorry for any of them. Neither Ghomeshi nor Cosby have provided any answers as to why so many different women are coming out with nearly the same story about them. The story involving Pacetti is a little different, as it involves one accuser, not several. But if it’s true that he had sex with an MP from an opposing party—even consensual sex—it would be hard to feel sorry for him. How could an MP think it would be okay to have a relationship with someone from another party and not have it end with bad consequences? There are probably people who don’t believe the women coming forward in any of these cases. Why, they might ask, would a woman accuse a man of assault long after an incident? (The Ghomeshi allegations go years back, the Cosby ones go back decades.) The answer might be because, finally, in 2014, women are starting to feel comfortable about speaking out about abuse and assault. Ghomeshi, Cosby and Pacetti may never be convicted of anything in the end—it’s difficult to prove sexual assault allegations in court. But that may be irrelevant, as all three have already been punished severely. Ghomeshi won’t likely ever work in Canadian broadcasting again; Cosby’s had to cancel shows on his comedy tour and it’s doubtful Pacetti will be part of the Liberals’ attempt to rise back to power. The lesson here is that sexual behaviour—even sexual behaviour that’s not explicitly illegal, but risky enough to cause hurt—can ruin a person’s career. Legalities aside, Ghomeshi, Cosby and Pacetti are guilty in the court of public opinion. The fact that their stories are leading to a national discussion on assault and consensual sex is the one positive thing out of these sad, complex cases.

News - Campbellford - A proposal to build a bridge connecting Alma and Second streets, approved by Northumberland County in mid-June, has yet to receive provincial approval. In fact, more work might be needed to clear that hurdle, as at least eight requests have been made to the Minister of the Environment for a Part II Order to resolve issues raised in the environmental study report prepared by IBI Group on behalf of the county. If granted, a Part II Order would bump up the Class C environmental assessment (EA) that was done to the highest level, an individual environmental assessment, which “could require more study,” if attempts at a resolution through consultation or mediation fail. “We are in the process of reviewing those [requests for] Part II orders with the ministry as to how to answer or address those concerns,” said Mobushar Pannu, director of transportation and waste for the county. The concerns “are very similar” to what was expressed during the EA process, such as increased traffic, impacts on property, and other environmental issues, he said. Most requests were from Second Street residents. The ministry has various options, including saying the county’s consultation efforts and the four studies it commissioned were “sufficient” and that it’s “satisfied” with the river crossing proposal as put forward, Pannu said. It could also ask Northumberland to “go back and redo the whole thing,” or give approval with conditions that have to be met before construction can begin. “There’s not one typical outcome.” The deadline for comment was extended to November 3 at the request of the ministry to give people more time to review the environmental study report for what is “a very large project” that is quite complex and has been “going on for a long time,” Pannu said. He’s hoping more discussion will take place with ministry officials over the next two weeks to find out “if they require more information” before making a decision. The ministry says a request for a Part II order should not be made “for the sole purpose of delaying, stopping or frustrating the planning and implementation of a Class EA project.” It should “focus on potential environmental effects of the project” and provide specific reasons for the applicant’s concerns, as well as detail efforts made to discuss and resolve them with the proponent. The uncertainty over the bridge project led council to defer making a decision last week on a pair of applications by local residents to have their homes designated heritage properties. One is on Frank Street and the other on Grand Road, and both would be impacted by noise and the widening of streets as a result of a new bridge being built in

Ameliasburgh welcomes visitors to Christmas in the Village Photos: Kate Everson
By Kate Everson
News - Ameliasburgh - It was Christmas in the Village on Sunday, December 7, as visitors enjoyed a special welcome in this tiny community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit chilly in here,â&#x20AC;? said Lynda Sommer, president of the museum board. She had two small electric heaters in the Victoria schoolhouse, while an old wood stove sat pipeless by her feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have most of the pipes but we need some more,â&#x20AC;? she said with a laugh. Even if it were connected to the wood stove, it would just be for looks, she added, as this is the only time the old schoolhouse would be used in cold weather. The tourist season starts in May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a pipe hole behind Queen Victoria,â&#x20AC;? she added. The schoolhouse was moved here from its original site six kilometres away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no ďŹ&#x201A;oor in it,â&#x20AC;? Sommer added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They used it to store hay.â&#x20AC;? Sommer noted that these old schoolhouses also had no indoor plumbing so water would be hauled in a bucket from a neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ground here is limestone,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even the outhouses had drawers instead of holes in the ground. But they were all two-seaters.â&#x20AC;? Today it was part of the Christmas in the Village festivities and children were invited to make decorations with a bit of cotton and cardboard. Bradley Stever, six, with his mother Krista, from Demorestville, quickly pieced together a fantastic Santa Star. A stroll through the village included the settlers log cabin where cider was

cooked in a big, black pot on an open ďŹ re and gingerbread cookies, made by curator Janice Hubbs (with her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe), were offered to guests. Brenda Dettlinger and her daughter Danielle kept the visitors fed and entertained with crafts on the big pine table. If you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to walk, there were two strong horses and a cart owned by Scott and Amanda Carter that would take you on a tour of the village. This went from the library (Al Purdy Branch) which had crafts and stories, to the Masonic Hall, Lake Lodge 215, at the other, where you could explore the Mason tools and ask about the rituals. Inside the Ameliasburgh Hall, there was cookie decorating, making pine cone feeders with peanut butter and seeds, free hot chocolate, mulled cider and cookies, as well as Brenda Dettlinger makes hot cider on an open fire in the log cabin. crafts for sale.

Chamber forms strong ties with municipalities News - Brighton - We’ve been involved in a lot of projects over the past year, said Brighton Cramahe Chamber of Commerce past president Eric Davidson during the annual meeting on Friday. Chamber manager Sherry Hamilton told the close to 50 business people in attendance that the Chamber is busy developing tourism partnerships and is excited about the Brighton Creative Trade Centre (BCTC). “Now is the time to act,” she said. “We need community input.” The Chamber has also created a Brighton Cramahe visitors guide and launched an e-newsletter, formed a young professionals club and are advocating for the two-lane swing bridge at the Murray Canal on County Road 64. “And we have a coupon book with coupons from 40 plus businesses,” Hamilton said. The booklets are $25 each and contain more than $1,000 in savings, with proceeds going to the six local schools. “Each school will receive about $1,900,” she said. Both mayors were introduced, and both seem anxious to work with the Chamber to bring prosperity to the area. Brighton Mayor Mark Walas said Brighton staff have been busy with the branding strategy and the
BCTC, switching over the standard street lamps to LED, and the 50-acre expansion of the industrial park. Then there’s the matter of the McDonalds and Shell proposal for the Highway 401 and County Road 30 that is scheduled to come before council during the December 15 meeting, and the proposal for a Macs Convenience store downtown. “It’s no secret that I’ve been extremely supportive of that,” Walas said. The project is estimated to cost $4.2 million. There’s also a proposal in the works for development on the west side of No Frills, and Walas said he’s “very confident that within this term of council, we will see some activity there.” At the county level, council is looking at alternatives to using County Road 2 as an emergency detour route. “The traffic cripples both our communities [when the 401 is closed],” Walas said. Cramahe Mayor Marc Coombs said they’re pleased with all the work done so far and the successes in the municipality. In order to encourage development in the downtown area, Coombs said they’re looking at changing the zoning bylaws as right now council is dealing with

bylaws that are more than 20 years old. In the plans is the creation of a business improvement area, or BIA, that will extend from the south side of Highway 401 down into town. And it’s already about 95 per cent of the way there. “The Big Apple has new owners and they make a big difference to our economy,” Coombs said. And there’s the Agri-food Venture Centre that will have its ribbon-cutting in January, and Kaley’s kale farm that has won several awards. “When you drive by and see kale growing, you know things are happening,” he said. There’s also an application for
sewers up at Highway 401, that will also be a draw for businesses into the industrial park, Coombs said. The Chamber intends on focussing on projects such as increasing the membership and getting out more into the community, Hamilton said. They also want to work closely with the municipalities to promote the BCTC and the Agrifood centre, as well as form strong partnership to promote local assets and increase tourism. The Chamber office is located at 74 Main Street in Brighton, and Hamilton can be reached at 613-475-2772 or at <info@brightonchamber.ca> for more information.

his community, and as a successful entrepreneur, Russ understands the importance of supporting rural and small business,” said NDP Leader Tom Mulcair. “I’m very happy to have him on our team as we get ready to defeat Conservatives in 2015.” Christianson, who will be carrying the NDP banner for the fifth time, reminded those gathered for the meeting of the historic breakthrough the party had in 2011.
“People used to laugh at Jack Layton about running to become the prime minister,” said Christianson. “My friends, we will run in 2015 to become the first NDP federal government in Canada’s history and we will make Tom Mulcair our prime minister,” he added. “With your help, I will become the first New Democrat MP for Northumberland Peterborough South.”

Seniors Today How senior donors can avoid scams Con artists masquerading as charities can victimize anyone, but seniors are especially vulnerable to such criminals. Men and women who perpetrate charitable fraud often target older men and women, feeling that seniors are more likely to have a significant amount of money in their bank accounts and less likely to report crimes for fear of embarrassment. But even if seniors are prime targets for charitable fraud, they still can take steps to safeguard themselves from scammers looking to exploit their generosity. s .EVER DONATE OVER THE PHONE .O REPUTABLE CHARITY WILL insist on a donation over the phone.

A Taste of Heaven candy store held its official opening on King Street East in Colborne last Saturday. Owner Christine Barnes says she fell in love with Colborne last year while in town as a vendor for the Apple Blossom Tyme Festival and so decided to open a second store; her other one is in Oshawa. A Taste of Heaven offers all kinds of goodies with a range of flavours, including sodas, popcorn, cotton candy, sour candies for the young people, and “retro stuff ” for people 60 and older, such as taffy and blackballs. There are also British treats and hard candy and chocolate for diabetics. “A little bit of everything for everyone,” Barnes said. Photo: John Campbell

Rotary Club of Brighton Month of November, 2014 Speaker this past month included Kaisa U. who is our Inbound Exchange Student from Finland; Dennis Fletcher from Quinte Sailability (this group was a recipient of $1,000 grant from our Club); Grayce Gayle, Author and speaker on Depression; and, we had our own Rotarian Audrey Koerber who gave her classiďŹ cation talk
We certainly hope that everyone was bundled up nice and warm during the annual Santa Claus Parade on the evening of Friday, November 21. It was worth every shriver and snifďŹ&#x201A;e as several of our Rotarians made our way past the many hundreds of fellow parade watchers and especially the younger ones hoping to catch a glimpse of our â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grinchâ&#x20AC;?. One of our annual programs is our â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coat for Kidsâ&#x20AC;? where we have handed out over 40 winter outďŹ ts for those children attending schools in the area that require this clothing. Part of the Rotary Vocational Avenue of Service is working with our youth. So, in November, Rotarians Gayle Roth and Dave Sharp presented the J.A. project on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Economics of Staying in Schoolâ&#x20AC;? for one of the Grade 8 classes at Brighton Public School. It involved some real life ďŹ nancial games; budgeting; interviewing dos and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ts and working

towards a career choice later in life. It was a lot of fun. All these projects cost money which means we need to be busy raising funds. In the past month, we held our annual Charity Auction where thanks to the generosity of our donors and the wallets of our guests, we raised ~$15,000. And, we are in the midst of our $1,000 RafďŹ&#x201A;e ticket at No Frills with the draw date of Sunday, Dec. 14, 2014. Plus, we are wrapping up our annual Ham Sales where we have sold over 138 hams. The Rotary theme for December is Family Month. On a personal note, looking back on my 20+ years as a Rotarian, I have seen how important family is in Rotary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and how important Rotary can be to our families. I feel the Rotary has been a wonderful way to teach our children, through our own actions, what is really important in life. They learn about what life is like in different parts of the world, and how all of us have an obligation to help others when we can. I can think of no better lessons to teach our families than the lessons of Rotary service. It matters because it is about community. Talking about family, did you know that our Rotary family is huge - As of October 1, 2014, there are 1,220,115
Brighton residents will soon be seeing their way to a brighter and less expensive streetlight system. Workers have been busy changing over the 849 old standard lights, for more efficient LED lighting across the municipality and expect to complete the transition over the next week or two. Public works director Andrzej Drzewiecki says the new system would save ratepayers about $120,000 a year in electricity costs, and after the cost of borrowing is factored in, there would be about $62,000 added to the municipal coffers each year.

Rotary members in 34,558 Rotary Clubs in the world. There are 169,395 Rotaract members in 7,365 Rotaract Clubs in the world. And there are 396,980 Interact members in 17,260 Interact Clubs in the world. And there are 186,093 Rotary Community Corps members in 8,091 Corps in the world. And, that is a lot of people working together to make this world a better spot to be. Rotaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investments in polio eradication infrastructure in Nigeria has helped the government stop the Ebola outbreak there. The polio surveillance network, which is used to monitor incidence of polio, is now also being used to identify and track suspected Ebola cases As always, we thank you the public for reading our updates and hope that you enjoy them and perhaps entice you to come out one Friday morning at 7:00am at the Community Centre complex.

New chief building official begins work News - Trent Hills - When the opportunity arose to greatly shorten his commute to work, Claude Sevigny jumped at the opportunity to become the new chief building ofďŹ cial for Trent Hills. No longer would it mean having to make the long drive from Brighton to Scugog Township where he was the CBO. He actually had another offer he could have accepted but he chose Trent Hills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My choice came down to my general feel about the community and â&#x20AC;Ś the support I would have in the ofďŹ ce,â&#x20AC;? keeping qualiďŹ cations up-to-date and handling disputes out in the ďŹ eld, Sevigny said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got all my qualiďŹ cations; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very little training I need, but my staff member will need some additional qualiďŹ cations and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full support being given to have that person [fully] qualiďŹ ed.â&#x20AC;? After graduating as a civil engineering technologist from Canadore College
lations and changes in construction methods and materials is â&#x20AC;&#x153;an ongoing process, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop,â&#x20AC;? Sevigny said. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a building inspector, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you really do have to stay abreast of all the innovations.â&#x20AC;? A building ofďŹ cialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role Claude Sevigny is the new chief building official is to make sure legislation for Trent Hills, filling a vacancy created when his is followed and to â&#x20AC;&#x153;keep the predecessor, Dave Rogers, moved home in September to work for Algonquin Highlands. Sevigny worked 25 years as a builder before switching careers and becoming a building inspector. Photo: John Campbell
in North Bay, where he grew up, Sevigny spent the next 25 years building houses and doing renovations in Ottawa, Stittsville and Kingston. He switched careers and became a building inspector, ďŹ rst with South Frontenac, then Kingston, and later Quinte West. Keeping up-to-date on building regu-
community away from liability,â&#x20AC;? he said. One of the challenges he faces in his profession, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;getting people to appreciate the need to have [their] building inspected,â&#x20AC;? to ensure it meets certain standards and to preserve its quality for future owners, he said. The regulatory obligations
can be â&#x20AC;&#x153;very onerous and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not getting any easier,â&#x20AC;? Sevigny said, which is why he will be revising the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fairly goodâ&#x20AC;? information package the municipality already possesses to explain the processes involved. Sevigny, who started work November 24, said he
was â&#x20AC;&#x153;quite surprisedâ&#x20AC;? by the amount of building activity going on in Trent Hills. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;more activity than where I was,â&#x20AC;? in a township with more than 23,000 people, 9,500 of whom live in the administrative and commercial centre of Port Perry.

Common Mistakes when Buying and Selling #1
To place your real estate ad with us please call
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have done extensive renovations and upgrades in my house so I can add the cost of these improvements when I sell.â&#x20AC;? A common mistake that homeowners make is expecting a substantial increase in the value of their home after completing renovations and upgrades. While you can expect a higher payback in some renovations such as interior painting, bathroom and kitchen renovations, with other improvements such as installing a skylight or adding a swimming pool your payback will likely be minimal. Similarly, replacing a roof, installing a new furnace or upgrading windows are general improvements for the normal operation of the house, so you cannot expect that these necessary improvements will add significant monetary value to your house when selling. However these upgrades tend to make the home more attractive to potential buyers, thereby increasing the likelihood of selling it and selling it faster. The main focus of renovations and upgrades should be improving your standard of living and enjoying your home. Expecting a payback on your investment should be secondary. Exercise caution when engaging in renovations for the main purpose of increasing the value of your home.

Hospital gives out awards and bursaries
News - Campbellford - Thirty-five staff members and a physician who, combined, have contributed 535 years of service to Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH), were recognized at the hospital’s annual holiday celebration December 6. “Their dedication and commitment proves that Campbellford Memorial Hospital is a great place to work,” said CMH president and CEO Brad Hilker in a news release. “It validates our mission and dedication to the relief of illness, pain and suffering, and to the promotion of health for the communities we serve.” Marilyn Petherick, who leads Campbellford Memorial Hospital’s infection control initiatives, is this year’s recipient of the Marie Reid Bursary, also known as the Sunshine Award. It honours a staff member who has contributed to the well-being and culture of the hospital in the spirit of enthusiasm and interest. Recipients are chosen because they brighten the environment with their sunny disposition, enrich the lives of peers, patients, clients, visitors and the public, promote and demonstrate leadership qualities, are open and honest in their relationships, go the extra mile, are committed to the hospital, exercise “a supportive holistic approach to peer needs,” and live “the mission, vision, values and culture of the hospital.” Hilker said the award “recognizes the legacy of Marie Reid, a dedicated registered nurse, department head, co-worker, loving wife, mother and special friend to many people [who] had a special gift. “Marie was an example of a person that can make a difference and it was a pleasure to recognize Marilyn Petherick as an individual who is also making a difference for our staff, our patients and our community.” Senior technologist Colleen Kelly and technologist Leigh Thompson, in the diagnostic imaging department, and registration clerk Michelle Wellman were presented with the Dick Quesnel Bursary, which was established by Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation to recognize the former CEO and president’s contributions to the hospital. The bursary “is available to CMH employees who have completed additional educational opportunities in pursuit of excellence in health care,” Hilker said. All three recipients completed courses: Kelly, Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologist Fundamentals of Quality Management; Thompson, Michener Institute Image Interpretation for Radiological Technologists, and Wellman, Health Information Management CHIMA National Certification. “CMH is very fortunate to have employees like Colleen, Leigh and Michelle, who continue to pursue educational opportunities ensuring excellence in patient care,” Hilker said. Catherine Lockhart and Margot Rowbotham received special applause from their peers for their 40 years of service. Ann Marie Lehman was recognized for 35 years of service to CMH’s patients and communities. More than 30 other longservice awards were presented to employees, ranging from five to 25 years.

Santa was as holly, jolly as ever in visit to Warkworth Photos: John Campbell
Warkworth Guiding was the largest youth group entered in the parade. By John Campbell
News - Warkworth - Thousands of parades each Christmas, decade after decade, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think a person might get tired of the same-old, same-old, but not good ole St. Nick. He loves being the centre of attention in every village, town and city he visits. No ho-ho-hum for Santa. And so it was he was as cheery as ever when he paid Warkworth a call last Friday night. And beaming right back at him with their smiles were children and adults from near and far lining the streets. The theme for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade was â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Holly, Jolly Christmasâ&#x20AC;? and helping to make it so were 45 to 50 floats,
bags of candy to dozens of children. The youngsters also wisely used the opportunity to pass on requests for toys theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see under the tree Christmas morning. It marked the 15th year the parade has been held at night in Warkworth. Several entrants were singled out for special recognition; best overall - Percy Boom River Rats; best representation of theme - Stapley Towing, Campbellford; best commercial - Free Flow Petroleum gas bar; largest youth group - Warkworth Guiding; best decorated animals - Martin Grandall (horses). Emily Ingram, Gracie Parker and Emma Greenly collected donations to the local food bank.
bands, businesses and organizations who formed the procession, and the half-dozen sponsors who helped fund the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a lovely evening, the weather was good,â&#x20AC;? said organizer Sharon Hutchinson, who was â&#x20AC;&#x153;very pleased with the turnout.â&#x20AC;? On behalf of her committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bonnie McDonald and Marsha Turney are the other membersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;she offered â&#x20AC;&#x153;a special thank-you to all the volunteers that helpedâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;a big thank-youâ&#x20AC;? to the OPP and local firefighters for their assistance. After the parade, Santa stayed a while longer at the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts handing out

More layoffs expected at Quinte Health Care News - Belleville - Nine layoffs issued at Quinte Health Care last week could be the ďŹ rst of many as the hospital organization makes plans to ďŹ ll a $12-million funding gap. Susan Rowe, QHCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Director of Communications, said in an interview last Friday that more stafďŹ ng changes seem likely owing to budget pressures, but management will strive to make sure they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impact patient care. Rowe said that under new Ministry of Health guidelines QHC canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t legally operate with a deďŹ cit and must ďŹ nd $12 million in savings by the time the next ďŹ scal year starts in April. Some of that money could be saved by offering staff early retirement packages or not ďŹ lling vacant positions, she acknowledged, but it seems unlikely that all staff will be safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These nine positions are just the start of these changes; there will be more in the future,â&#x20AC;? she said.
On Wednesday, December 3, nine Quinte Health Care employees were shown the door. Rowe said all nine people worked at Belleville General Hospital, but some had supervisory duties with staff at other hospitals. QHC is the umbrella organization that operates BGH, Trenton Memorial Hospital, Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital and North Hastings Hospital. Rowe said that, of the nine positions eliminated, six were management positions and three were administrative. All of them were non-union positions and all employees were given severance packages. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an easy day for anyone at the organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These were all very valued staff members, some of them had been at QHC a very long time,â&#x20AC;? Rowe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of them have made great contributions to the organization. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all be missed.â&#x20AC;? Rowe said QHC
the
Birdhouse nature store
management would meet with union leaders this week to discuss whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in store for the future. QHCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workforce is made up of members of four unions: Unifor, the Ontario Public Services Employees Union (OPSEU), SEIU Healthcare and the Ontario Nurses Association (ONA). However, she acknowledged there will be no easy solution to the funding crunch. Rowe said revenue from the Ontario government is decreasing, but at the same time QHC must honour union contracts in which employees will see modest cost-of-living pay increases. During meetings with unions, management will offer their thoughts on how to save money. The unions can dissect the information and come back with recommendations of their own at a later date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take $12 million out of our cost structure without impacting people,â&#x20AC;? Rowe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can minimize that impact as much as possible with early retirement packages. But about 70 to 75 per cent of our expenses are salary beneďŹ ts. There

Gibson said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak at length about the QHC proposal because he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard it yet (the meeting was to be held Tuesday, after press time). But he stressed that QHC shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t target relatively low-paid workers, who provide services to patients. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather see management cut expenses at the top, so service worker positions can still be ďŹ lled.

Pentecostals of Quinte to show The Heart of Christmas By Stephen Petrick

Belleville - Entertainment This isn’t your grandmother’s church choir. The Pentecostals of Quinte are loud, soulful, dynamic and extremely talented. They’ll show off their skills with two free shows this weekend. The Heart of Christmas takes place at 6:30 p.m. on both Saturday, December 13, and Sunday, December 14, at the Pentecostal Church at 490 Dundas Street West. The choir, with about 25 singers, has been working since August to create an original and uplifting musical production. This new musical production features an original narrative and a handpicked musical compilation. The roughly 90-minute concert includes fun, familiar songs such as Whitney Houston’s gospel version of Joy to the World and heartfelt songs like Be Born in Me by
Fancesca Battistelli. Guests can also enjoy the Kings Kids Choir rendition of Mariah Carey’s popular song Jesus, Born on this Day. Special guest Tola Kalejaiya and other artists will also be featured throughout the concert in a variety of solo performances. “The community can come expecting a great time of music, singing and story telling with performances that shine a light on local talent,” said worship pastor and concert director Robert Greene, who’s also the choir’s front man singer. Green, a powerful and dynamic performer, came to The Pentecostals of Quinte in 2008 and has been instrumental in developing the church’s music department. He comes with a vast background, having studied music education at the University of Delaware. He

of your grand opening.” Nancy Allanson, executive director of the Trent Hills and District Chamber of Commerce also welcomed the newcomers and said, “We are here to help you.” Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan welcomed the new business owner and talked about the challenges faced by small businesses today and noted, “You are in the right area for what you do.” “We’re very excited to have you here,” said Kim MacNeil, chair of the Warkworth Business Association, performing one of her last duties as a councillor for Trent Hills, and presented the owner with a welcome package and gift basket. Noting that Warkworth is a designated arts community where craftspeople and artisans would likely to shop at a new business like this, she added, “We wish you much success and appreciate you choosing to locate your business here.” Mark Valyear, the owner, said he chose to locate in Warkworth after closing down his business in Cobourg and selling his farm. “I love the area because the people are so supportive of what we’re doing. I don’t think I could have picked a better place to try to start something,” he said. His family has been in the business of selling cedar hedging for the past half century. “I got into the greenery business about 12 years ago selling wholesale and retail,” he explained. Business at his new location has been brisk so far he said. “It’s going pretty good. I figure it’s a five-year project to get to where we’d like
to be,” he commented noting that “the typical time to sell this product is the last two weeks in November and the first week in December.” Wreaths decorate the wall of the shop where tables are filled with fresh evergreens bundled for sale. His target market is homeowners in the area who want to use the evergreens for their decorations “or for anyone who wants to make their own decorative pot … we also sell the pots finished.” “We’ve got probably ten different varieties of greenery. We’ve got imported and Ontario branches from white pine, to red pine, cedar and balsam, all from Ontario. In the imported stuff we have B.C. cedar, silver fir and Douglas fir,” he noted. Mitchell, who works with his dad full-time, makes the

The Pentecostals of Quinte,” said Shawn Stickler, lead pastor of The Pentecostals of Quinte. “He has unbelievable enthusiasm.” Doors open for the shows at 5:45 p.m. for seating. Refreshments follow each performance.

wreaths and arrangements at the shop. “I taught myself and really enjoy doing this work,” he said. He has been working with his dad for the past four or five years, since he graduated from college. “People have been very responsive to what we are doing here. Everyone who has come here is very pleased with the product and the price,” said Valyear. An evergreen garland and a tree branch pruner were used for the official ribbon cutting ceremony. Eastern Evergreen is located at 4875 County Road 25, approximately one kilometre north out of Warkworth and on the east side of the road, on the way to Hastings.

Hospital directors shown what’s being done to improve health care in province
the course of the last decade” News - Campbellford - Ontarians but there’s still room for im“are generally healthy” and “there’s provement in the province’s been an increase in life expectancy over health-care system, Campbellford Memorial Hospital’s directors were told last week. Although the system overall “is improving,” there are challenges, including “unhealthy lifestyles,” access to services, and integration of what’s being provided, said Lee Fairclough, vice-president of quality improvement at Health Quality Ontario (HQO). Variations in care across the province are another issue her organization has identified. “We still [have] work to do,” Fairclough said, pointing out the smoking rate remains a concern despite a decline, and “the prevalence of obesity has remained stable” Lee Fairclough, vice-president of quality improve- for five years, even though ment at Health Quality Ontario, spoke about the more people are physically work her organization does and the data it has active. Improvements are needed collected in a presentation to Campbellford Memorial Hospital’s board of directors December 4. elsewhere as well. “Most patients in Ontario Photo: John Campbell By John Campbell
who are discharged from hospital after admission for heart failure, chronic obstruction pulmonary disease or mental health problems do not see a physician within seven days,” Fairclough said. And there’s “considerable regional variation” in services, such as home care that’s provided “in a timely way.” Fairclough stressed that the statistical data should be viewed with a certain perspective. “What is really important is that we look at these results and we see them as opportunity for improvement, we don’t see them as somebody trying to point out where we’re not doing a good job,” she said. The data identifies where adjustments are needed, and “a board’s role in ensuring there is that safe environment in the organization; to be able to do that is quite critical,” Fairclough said. She praised Campbellford
Memorial Hospital for being “very progressive” in “embracing a culture of quality.” Health Quality Ontario was created as an arm’s-length agency by the Excellent Care for All Act in 2010 “to evaluate the effectiveness of new health care technologies and services, report to the public on the quality of the health care system, support quality improvement activities and make evidence-based recommendations on health care funding,” according to its web site. Fairclough said HQO cannot do its work without making patient experiences and engagement central to what it’s trying to accomplish. To underscore how important such an approach is, she related the tragic tale of Greg Price, a 30-year-old Albertan who died of testicular cancer following a
series of events over a 59-weekperiod that delayed treatment for “a curable disease.” He died as a result of “a set of complications that were really quite manageable,” she said. “It’s good to remember there are many situations where we see care being managed well,” Fairclough added, but providers also need to keep their “eyes wide open” to opportunities where they can learn, and the death of Price pointed to a “breakdown … in those transitions of care.” Fairclough concluded her presentation by noting “there really is a culture of quality that’s emerging in the province. We’re going to have to work at it to maintain it, and we’re going to have to create very trusting environments for people to actually look at how they can make improvements.” Fairclough and Karen

Carswell, a quality improvement specialist at HQO, spent the day brainstorming with staff at Campbellford Memorial Hospital and Trent Hills Family Health Team. There was discussion of the hospital’s Quality Improvement Plan and feedback given on what’s being done elsewhere to bring about positive change. “I was very impressed,” Fairclough said later. “They actually do very well on many of the indicators in the Quality Improvement Plan … [and] continually look at how they can improve, which is just terrific for the kind of culture they want to set in the organization.” Reports prepared by the agency, including its annual report on how Ontario’s health system is performing, titled Measuring Up, released in September, can be read online at <www.hqontario.ca/>.

Leticia Lopez also chipped in with 15 and Karlie Fairs had 14. The Lancers women headed to Toronto to play Centennial College on Wednesday night, in a game played after press time. The game was their last one in 2014. They’ll resume the season next semester, when they play Georgian College on the road on January 11. Their next home game is Friday, January 16, when they play Algonquin at 6 p.m. The men’s team also beat George Brown on Friday, winning 105 - 97 in overtime, to improve to 6 - 3 in their OCAA season.

The organization just recently achieved the first $1 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know cancer touches everyone including our players and this is a great opportunity for us to honour hockey moms in our community,â&#x20AC;? said Andrew Kerik, the Belleville Bulls director of business operations. Ana Bento, the community branch manager for Scotiabank, the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sponsor, attended a photo-op to announce the event. It was staged inside the Douglas A. MacIntosh Cancer Clinic at Belleville General Hospital, by a bell that is rung by patients to celebrate receiving their final treatment. It was a fitting symbol because Bulls fans have, similarly, been known for ringing cow bells after a goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pink in the rink is a perfect fit,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun for everyone and raises funds for cancer care in the Quinte region.â&#x20AC;? Bulls players Stephen Harper and Charlie Graham attended the photoop.

Graham made 42 saves in regulation and overtime and another two in the shootout to earn the victory. A larger than normal crowd, announced at 2,986, watched the show.

Cobourg Cougars win 2 - 1 over Hawks in OJHL By Kate Everson
Sports - Quinte West - It was an exciting game on Friday night, December 5, at the Duncan McDonald Memorial Arena in Trenton. Trenton was led by Brady Wiffen, who scored the team’s only goal. Wiffen scored on the power play 5:38 into the second period to make the score 1 - 0 Trenton. The Golden Hawks had gotten the advantage when the Cougars’
Dawson Theede was sent off for holding. Christian Lloyd picked up the assist. Cobourg was led by Mitchell Gibson, who tallied one goal. Gibson scored 18:09 into the third period to make the score 2-1 Cobourg. Taylor Gauld also scored for Cobourg. The Cobourg Cougars relied on the fast performance of goalie Tyler Lewis in net to grab a 2 - 1 win against the Trenton Golden Hawks.
Trenton put up an impenetrable defensive front on the penalty kill, and did not allow the Cougars to score on any of their four power plays. The Golden Hawks’ offense operated below their season average. Trenton averages 4.7 goals per game. The Golden Hawks’ offence rang up 38 shots on Cobourg’s net. The Cougars incurred 12 minutes in penalty time with six minors. The Golden Hawks
incurred 16 minutes in penalty time with three minors. The stars of the game were Cougars goalie Tyler Lewis, Hawks goalie Justin Kapelmaster, and the Cougars’ Mitchell Gibson who scored the winning goal. Trenton’s Justin Kapelmaster stopped 21 shots out of the 23 that he faced. Lewis recorded 37 saves for Cobourg out of 38 shots. Goalie Justin Kapelmaster defends the Hawks’ goal against the Cougars’ Taylor Gault. Photo:

John Williams becomes new honorary colonel of 8 Wing By Kate Everson
News - Quinte West - John Williams had barely left his mayoral duties before he took on new ones as Honorary Colonel of 8 Wing. “This is a privilege and an honour,” Williams said at the investiture ceremony at the National Air Force Museum of Canada on December 3. “It’s an exciting day for me.” He acknowledged the “good times” he has had at the base with former Wing Commanders present for the ceremony including General Hood, General Friday and Colonel Cochrane. He noted the relationship the city had with the base over the years was one he will cherish, especially the friendships. Williams also acknowledged Honorary Colonel Glenn Rainbird for being there during the bad times. “He set the bar high,” Williams said. “We worked together as a community to set things right. He was the right guy at the right time. We owe you a lot, as a community.” He recalled in 2010 when they closed down the highway and dozens of people from the community marched to the base with flags waving. Some stood on the steps and everyone sang O Canada. “It was something to see,” he said. Williams also recalled going to Alert in 2012, the furthest inhabited place in the world and about -30 or -40 degrees. They took a Bombardier to the weather station and had to walk half a mile so the fumes wouldn’t affect the sensitive equipment. “We were on top of the world,” he said. “And there on the table was a Reid’s Dairy milk carton!” Please see “New honorary” page B2 The change of command certificates were signed by Armin Quickert, Colonel David Lowthian and John Williams. Williams, former mayor of Quinte West, said the appointment was exciting, a privilege and
an honour. Photo: Kate Everson

New honorary colonel of 8 Wing
Two very different and talented musicians take to the stage
Continued from page B1
He gave a nod to outgoing Honorary Colonel Armin Quickert who was smiling back. Armin Quickert, manager of Reid’s Dairy in Belleville, has been honorary colonel of 8 Wing since November, 2011. He said that although he was “green as grass” he learned quickly from the finest. “I realized it was an honour to serve my country,” he said. He recognized the sacrifice made by military families, particularly with postings for five or six months as added
stressors. “Some will not be home for Christmas,” he acknowledged. He said even with technology like Facetime young children don’t understand when their parent is not home for important events. It is a tremendous burden. “We must continue to support our military families,” he said. “They need our help.” Colonel David Lowthian said he celebrates the priceless connection with the community. “Once an honorary

Entertainment - The last Saturday evening Night Kitchen Too for 2014, is shaping up for December 20 at the Pinnacle Playhouse at 8 p.m. The producers of Night Kitchen Too have again organized a full evening of entertainment by local and talented performers with a variety of musical styles ranging from pop to classical. Performers’ experiences, including the spoken word artists, vary from the self-taught to the professionally trained. Enthusiastic audiences have continued to fill the theatre for this unique musical variety show because of the simple concept: Fourteen invited performers show up for a sound check an hour before the 8 p.m. opening and perform one song each. Just before the coffee and treats break, a featured act gets two shots at the microphone followed by a third tune at the show’s end. Classical pianist Charley Jiang, 13, a Belleville Grade 8 student, is one of 14plus performers who will take to the stage for their one shot ‘at the mike. Charley, a very talented young musician tested the piano sitting on the set of A Christmas Carol at the Playhouse. He was given tickets to the classic Christmas story for his practice performance. Charley will be just one of the musical surprises of the evening. Eugene Deline, the evening’s featured performer, is one of Canada’s most prolific songwriters having penned almost 3,000 songs. He recorded 22 songs for his Musings by the Night River CD, in 2010. As the result of his first commercially released CD, Luck and Skill, he signed a publishing deal with Hawktunes Publishing and a record contract with Skyhawk Records. Producer Eric Baragar states, “Eugene has a voice that is similar to Leonard Cohen on one end of the spectrum, and like Mick Jagger on the other end. His songs range from a number of reflective, contemporary songs, to an electric roots thumper, to Nine Inch Nails meets the Beatles and to an all-out classic rock ’n’ roll rocker.” Given that Night Kitchen Too has enjoyed solid audiences for all of its shows, those interested in attending are advised to get their tickets early. Tickets are $10 each and they are available at all three music stores in Belleville, Sweet Escape on Front Street or by calling Gary Magwood at 613-849-1976. Some tickets will also be available at the doors, which open at 7:30 p.m. More information, including performance recordings and photographs, is available on Night Kitchen Too’s Facebook page.
Sunshine and lots of music at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Christmas event
Musical entertainment was abundant for the annual Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Mill Christmas festivities December 6 and 7. Weather was just perfect for grassroots band Wrought Iron Roots to set up around the campfire for their performance. Photo: Diane Sherman
The third and final Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Mill lottery draw was done at the information centre in front of the public, December 7, by volunteers Wanda Franks, Nancy Moorcroft and Barb Brookes. Cherie Doyle drew the winning numbers with Fred Doyle in the background. Photo: Diane Sherman
Lifestyles - Madoc - Visitors enjoyed unusually nice weather December 6 and 7 for the annual Christmas at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Mill Homestead and Conservation Area just north of the village of Madoc . With a lineup of 16 musical performances held both indoors and out, patrons had plenty of talent to entertain them when they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t jaunting through the forest on horse and buggy rides, provided by both Chris Budd and Bruce Gordon, or enjoying a pancake breakfast and other treats from the food booth. It was a leisurely day to spend with family in the outdoors and remember how early settlers may have spent their Christmas gatherings over 100 years ago. This is the ďŹ rst year the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Mill Volunteer Association attempted to raise operating funds by holding a lottery. Usually, the group relies on donations and an
annual dinner-auction. Nancy Moorcroft, with help from her fund-raising team, managed to sell all 300 lottery tickets slated for sale throughout 2014. Half of the $50 ticket price will go to help volunteers maintain and improve the homestead area. The other half was divided between 66 winners from three draws, October, November and December, with a ďŹ rst prize of $1,000, a second of $500, and ten each for $75 and $25.

Over the past few years, with funds raised by the association, numerous repairs have been made to the mill pond dam and mill; a covered bridge has been
built over the dam and both the information centre and an 1800 period log cabin were built. Most recently a drive shed to shelter an authentic â&#x20AC;&#x153;rock pickerâ&#x20AC;? was built; it doubles now as a picnic shelter. The homestead is also available for family gatherings, weddings and geocaching groups, all facilitated by volunteers to promote the historic location, commemorating the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara family who arrived in Madoc Township in 1823.

Inquiry needed to address murdered and missing Aboriginal women By Stephen Petrick
News - Belleville - It’s time for the federal government to launch a national inquiry into the disproportionate number of murdered or missing Aboriginal women. That was the message from an event at the Core Centre on Friday, December 5, to mark the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. Diana Barlow, a community wellness worker with Good Minds in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, spoke about the work of Sisters in Spirit, a network of Aboriginal women she belongs to who are calling for action. The group formed in 2005 amid concerns that the Aboriginal population was significantly over represented in statistics related to missing and murdered women. In time it found that over the last roughly 30 years, there have been 1,182 cases of murdered or missing First Nation women in Canada. While that’s concerning on its own, the number is more alarming when put into context of First Nation populations. Aboriginal
women make up 4.3 per cent of Canada’s female population. But Aboriginal women make up 16 per cent of Canadian female homicides. This is according to a slide presented by Barlow at Friday’s presentation. “We’re being over represented in the number of women murdered in Canada,” she said. “What we want to know is why.” Barlow told the audience, of about 50 people, that the United Nations and Amnesty International have called on Canada’s federal government to launch a national inquiry. But Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his ruling Conservative Party have yet to agree on such an issue. When questioned on the topic during his tour of the north in August, Harper said no such inquiry is necessary, because he feels it’s not a “sociological phenomenon” but rather a collection of crimes. “The RCMP has said itself in its study, the vast majority of these cases are addressed, and they’re solved through police investigations. We’ll leave it in their hands,” he was quoted
as saying in several media outlets. That quote has since led to criticism from media and Aboriginal groups. Barlow said Harper’s refusal to look at violence against Aboriginal women as a broader issue is concerning. “Sure the individual cases themselves are obviously criminal acts,” she said. “But what is the greater picture and why so many? Both the RCMP and the head of the Canadian Association of Police have said, yes, we need to look at this systemically. Really, what we need is for the greater community in Canada to stand up and say that this needs to happen.” Barlow encourages Canadians concerned with this topic to write letters to politicians calling for action; she pointed out that Amnesty International has a letter on its web site on this topic that visitors can copy to send to their leaders. While Barlow is unsure what, specifically, an inquiry will find, she believes it has to happen so Canadians can understand the root of the issue. “We really don’t know what is

look deeper. We might find the answer is those things that do exist, or it could be something deeper.” In the meantime, Barlow said she takes some comfort in knowing there are groups that are listening to Sisters in Spirit and trying to raise awareness of the issue. Representatives from several women’s groups were at Friday’s event to lead discussions on how to address issues of violence. The event coincided with the 25th anniversary of December 6, 1989, the day 14 female students at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal were killed by a gunman who specifically targeted women. “The goal of Sisters in Spirit is to not only make sure our own people are aware of what’s going on, but to educate the greater community to ensure they know what’s going on,” Barlow said. Friday’s event also included a performance by a Prince Edward Collegiate Institute drama class led by Matt Sheahan. The play spoke to issues of gender inequality.
Lock It or Lose It campaign kicks into high gear News - Northumberland - The Lock It or Lose It campaign kicks into high gear for the holiday season as the Northumberland OPP participates in the province-wide Lock It or Lose It campaign The OPP is warning motorists about the dangers of property and identity theft resulting from unlocked vehicles or the leaving of valuables in plain view. The campaign is sponsored by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police’s (OACP) and encourages drivers to take precautions to protect their vehicles and vehicle contents from theft, particularly during the holiday season. “Leaving vehicles unlocked or valuables in plain sight is an invitation for thieves to steal your values. Our police service wants people to take the time to keep their property safe,” said Northumberland OPP Detachment Commander Acting Inspector Rob Kobayashi. “Thieves are also looking for
anything in a vehicle that allows them to engage in identity theft. Don’t give them the opportunity. Keep anything with your personal information with you.” During the campaign, police officers examine parked vehicles to confirm they are locked and that no valuables have been left in plain view. Officers place a small notice on vehicles checked indicating what safety precautions were neglected and offer simple prevention tips for drivers to protect their vehicles against theft. The notices also congratulate drivers who have secured their vehicle. “The insurance industry remains a strong supporter of the Lock It or Lose It campaign. We know it works,” said Rick Dubin, vice-president, Investigative Services, Insurance Bureau of Canada. “While actual vehicle thefts have dropped, we are very concerned about identity theft and

identity fraud. Cases of identity theft and fraud have increased across Canada from 10,807 to 11,594 in 2013, a six per cent increase.” Dubin urged motorists not to keep personal documents such as vehicle ownership, liability pink slips, credit card invoices, or other documents containing personal information in their vehicles. Identity thieves are looking for such documents so they can assume identities, secure credit card accounts, lease vehicles for export, and even take out a mortgage against victims’ properties without their knowledge. Victims may not realize they have been victimized until it is too late, costing them time and money to rectify the damage. Northumberland OPP will be conducting various Lock It or Lose It campaign initiatives with the county’s six Municipal Community Policing Committee members assisting.
Celebrating Christmas with Sharron Matthews By Richard Turtle
Entertainment - Stirling Right in the middle of panto season, where music and laughter are front and centre at The Stirling Festival Theatre, a one-night-only Christmas party promises an evening of even more music and laughter with a different twist. Sharron’s Christmas Party, featuring Stratford-based performer Sharron Matthews, is aimed at mature audiences and provides a different perspective on pop culture using a combination of stand-up comedy, vocal concert, talk show and controlled chaos. According to SFT Media Co-ordinator Joanne Hartman, Matthews “serves up her signature irreverent wit with solid gold mash-ups by artists such as Lady Gaga, Guns N’ Roses, Radiohead, Beyonce, Queen and more in a tour de force concert.” Recognized for
her roles in Les Miserables, Mean Girls and Global TV’s Canada Sings, among others, Matthews has played to soldout audiences across Canada as well as London, New York and South Africa. She has also been described as the love child of Jack Black and Bette Midler. And the globetrotting entertainer is very much looking forward to her scheduled arrival in Stirling for her performance this Sunday. “I really love doing this show,” Matthews says, describing Sharron’s Christmas Party as “a fun, off-the-wall kind of night. It’s like being at a party.” And it’s a party where she playfully toys with well-loved songs and adds some seasonal storytelling to the mix, and it’s a party that keeps her on the move for much of the month. In fact, she says, immediately prior to the December 14 show
in Stirling, she will be appearing in Burnaby, BC, with other stops along the way. “This show is different from anything else we’ve done,” says Hartman, adding it is certain to appeal to a broad range of theatregoers. And, she says, it offers a slight change of pace during the panto run while maintaining a strong sense of fun and Christmas spirit. The show, Hartman cautions, does contain “mature and colourful language.” Sharron’s Christmas Party begins at 8 p.m. on Sunday, December 14, at the Stirling Festival Theatre where tickets are currently available. Prices range from $34 to $38 per person with a 6 p.m. preshow dinner also available for an additional $25. Contact the box office for details at 613395-2100. Dinner reservations must be booked before noon on Saturday.

Readers of A Christmas Carol last weekend at the Johnstown church included (from left) Rita Turtle, Carol Snell and Peter Snell.
Events - Quinte West - Roy Bonisteel was warmly remembered last weekend with the return of the annual reading of A Christmas Carol at the old Johnstown Church. In past years the story of Ebenezer Scrooge has been brought to life by a small group of readers, always including Bonisteel, and had become an annual tradition at the church that many grew to enjoy. An internationally recognized broadcaster and author, Bonisteel passed away in August of 2013 but had been a longtime participant in the readings of the Charles Dickens Christmas classic, and according to family members, in many ways considered them to be his first Christmas party to mark the beginning of the festive season. The event hosted last Sunday, at what is also known as the Old Church Theatre, featured readers Astrid Young, Hal Wilson, Carol and Peter Snell and Rita and Richard Turtle, with musical accompaniment provided by Andy Thompson. Venue owners Brian Weston and Lesley Bonisteel welcomed about 60 guests with Weston providing formal introductions and thanking visitors for their

The Good Earth: Lifestyles - What do gardeners want for Christmas? Here are some easy answers: Books but please not those entitled “1000 plants for North American Gardens” or “43 Ways to Cook Beets.” Take time to determine what part of gardening gives your gardener the most enjoyment and find an appropriate tome to match. (Shameless plug: Take Time, Reflections for Gentle Reader is still available from this author.) Magazine subscriptions are welcome as long as the mag has some vegetarian “meat.” Pretty pictures are nice but unless they have accompanying articles on how your gardener can accomplish the same, they quickly become nothing more than dust collectors on the coffee table. Education is a good idea, especially if your hortulan has the time and means to attend the event. Perhaps you might find
Christmas gifts and wishes
a local expert whose knowledge would be important to your giftee. This is an idea that we often employed with our children as they were growing and making new discoveries. For example, one daughter co-founded a private detective agency (and actually solved a “case”: thank you, Lisa) and thought she might make a career of it. We found a local private detective and arranged for him to chat with her. Over the years drumming, weaving, photography, flying and a few other enterprises were featured. For your gardener, it shouldn’t take long to find someone in our area who is properly regarded as an expert. Ask them if they would mind being a “gift.” You can engage their services for several hours and then present a “gift certificate” to the lucky recipient. Don’t limit yourself to plants. What about basic carpentry? Gift certificates are always welcomed
but don’t be dismayed if they are used for manure and fertiliser. For myself, I would use such a gift to buy whatever tool I needed at the highest quality that I could “now” afford. Those were the easy answers, Gentle Reader. The following selections are on my personal Christmas wish list, which might not be the same as others. I wish there were more “mom and pop” nurseries available to our communities. As some of you know, I am employed by a very large nursery and garden centre operation, and happily so. Large centres have become a part of the horticultural market place as have giant box stores and outlet malls. It is the nature and demands of the consumer that make this convenience of one-stop shopping the norm. Megashops mean lots of product and that means deep, deep pockets. The smaller stores tend to have specialised inventories and flat out
do not earn enough money to make them economically viable. There is a cost to this convenience that many, many people do not realise or discount as being unimportant: we are losing a precious resource which is the vast knowledge and experience that local nurseries provided to their communities. So a gift would be for all of us to seek out micro-nurseries and support them. I wish the folks who develop the curricula in our schools devoted more time to the land, its relationship to living organisms (especially us) and how we need to conserve it. Today we toss around terms like GMO, integrated pest management (IPM), gluten-free, terminator technology, genome patenting and organic without having a clear understanding of what they actually mean. Let’s teach this in our schools so that when it comes time for future genera-

asked to participate by Bonisteel because of their fathers’ professional and personal connections. And to her pleasant surprise, Lesley explains, that request to a stranger was immediately met with a positive response. When Young agreed, the stage was set and she became the first of the afternoon’s readers. In the version presented, the story of Ebenezer

Scrooge is divided into sections with the final stave, previously reserved for Bonisteel himself, read this year by Wilson, who admitted to it being a very emotional day. The duo shared a long relationship and Wilson has read the story alongside Bonisteel on several occasions. Wilson, in a nod to his dear friend, wore a tie and tails. And for those in attendance, it was a fitting
tribute to the spirit of Roy Bonisteel, who spent much of his retirement creating a community space in a church where he had previously been a congregation member. His lifelong love of sharing stories with friends and family was evident in his own readings of A Christmas Carol, and that joy was aptly conveyed and shared this year by his friends at the podium.
Dan Clost tions to make decisions, they can do so intelligently based on a combination of dispassionate scientific knowledge and their own moral imperative. Here is a gift that gardeners can give to themselves: a vegetable garden for their children or grandchildren. This is a guaranteed generational bonding: a treasured photograph shows one of our daughters gardening with her grandmother on the family homestead. What better way to teach your children and grandchildren than to give them the opportunity to take a wee seed and grow their own food? If you don’t have room on your estate, then find a plot in a community garden. The children can be actively involved in deciding what to grow. But unfortunately, GR, if they do decide they want to grow beets, you must comply.
TRAVEL
Lifestyles - McAllen, located at the southern tip of Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley, attracts many avid birdwatchers. Well over 500 species have been spotted in this particular ecowonderland, including several that can be found only in this southernmost part of the U.S., right next to the Mexican border. After all, this valley offers not just one but a total of nine birding centres, and it’s located at the convergence of two major flyways, the Central and Mississippi, so it’s a great spot, during the winter, from which to view birds that have headed south. The area is often referred to as “The Texas Tropics,” so it’s obviously very popular, too, with “snowbirds” from the Midwest and Canada. However, these winter tourists are not referred to as “snowbirds” here but simply as “Winter Texans.” After all, these avid birdwatchers and winter visitors are very important to the area’s economy, so they are, indeed, welcomed. I recently checked out this popular spot for myself, and I soon discovered just how “hooked” a tourist can get pursuing various species of birds to add to one’s list of new sightings. Birders will be found in these hotspots from early morning until dusk, and the throng will include a long lineup of photographers with tripods and humungous lenses who are in search of the “best” bird photo of all. One of these birding centres, located right in McAllen, is at Quinta Mazatlan, a historic Spanish Revival adobe hacienda that’s surrounded by 15 acres of lush tropical landscape and several birding trails. It was here that I saw my first chachalaca, a brown, chicken-like specimen that’s found only in this part of the country. The chachalaca has a very distinctive, loud, and raucous call, so it makes it very easy for the visitor to identify. I also encountered my first yellow-breasted great kiskadee on this property, and it’s another bird found only in southern Texas in the U.S. This flycatcher has black and white stripes on its crown and sides, appears to be a kind of cross between a kingfisher and a meadowlark, and attracts attention by its incessant “kis-ka-dee” calls.
I also checked out the nearby Edinburg Scenic Wetlands, a 40-acre wetlands oasis where I found several winding footpaths and waterside observation platforms. I discovered this was a particularly great place from which to view such species as American avocets, least grebes, and green kingfishers. Furthermore, I visited the much larger Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, a 2,088-acre parcel that’s sometimes referred to as “the jewel of the National Wildlife Refuge System,” and here I ascended a tower and crossed a beautiful canopy bridge from which I could gaze at the Spanish moss dripping from the trees. While in this rare tropical landscape, I also visited an old Santa Ana cemetery, with its ancient wooden grave markers and timeworn wooden fence. I also strolled down a trail to the Rio Grande River itself, and this was a reminder of just how close I was to the Mexican border, for I was standing on American soil and gazing across the river at a ranch in Mexico. I even found a posted sign that warned me that the “AREA BEYOND THIS SIGN CLOSED. ALL PUBLIC ENTRY PROHIBITED.” Although I found all these birding spots rather fascinating, my personal favourite had to be the nearby Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park. After all, this is the headquarters of the World Birding Centre, and it’s regarded as a “treasure trove of Valley specialties.” I found two enclosed bird blinds, a two-storey wheelchair accessible observation tower, several bird feeder stations, and a birding wall. It was here that I saw many goldfronted woodpeckers and whitewinged doves at feeders. It was also here that I was introduced to green jays, McAllen’s official bird. This beautiful bird is, indeed, green-breasted (unlike our blue jay), with green wings, but there’s also some white, yellow and blue plumage, too. This bird’s flashy colouring, boisterous nature, dry, throaty rattle, and frequent “cheh-chehcheh-cheh” call make it very easy to spot, and it was my favourite bird sighting of them all. I spent a good deal of my time just watching them fly about and feed. While in the McAllen area, I talked with Nancy Millar,

vice president and director of the McAllen Convention & Visitors’ Bureau, and I learned just how important birding and nature tourism is to this area. I also learned that McAllen has a lot of shopping centres, and these attract many Mexican shoppers, too. I was surprised to learn that “more Mexican money is spent here than in any other American city,” so shopping is “big business.” I was also pleasantly surprised to find
that the shoppers, birders, and “Winter Texans” have resulted in many large RV parks being available in this area, as well as several luxury hotels and fine dining establishments. Indeed, this border city with a population of about 140,000 has a lot to attract the visitor. However, it’s primarily those awesome birds that keep the visitors returning year after year.

Three sopranos to sing the songs of Christmas News - Campbellford - One has black hair, one’s a blonde and the third one’s a redhead, and they’re very close friends who once lived together and started their professional singing careers at the Canadian Opera Company. They’re also sopranos with “three very different voices” who “really love Christmas music,” says the redhead,
Trent Hills native Virginia Hatfield, who will welcome her friends to Campbellford this weekend when they join her for a Yuletide concert at Campbellford Baptist Church December 14. “Jodi Henson is almost a dramatic soprano; [she has] a very big, rich voice,” says Hatfield, who describes herself as a “higher, lighter soprano.”
Megan Latham, on the other hand, is a mezzo soprano, capable of hitting the lower notes. Given their different ranges they’ve never had to compete for roles “so we just have a very natural friendship, and we enjoy singing together very much,” Hatfield says. “We wanted to see how our voices would sound [with] all three of us
singing our Christmas favourites,” so a year ago they recorded a CD they called Christmas at Casa Diva. Pianist/composer Brian Finley, cofounder and artistic director of Western Arts Festival Theatre, arranged several of the songs on the CD, including White Christmas, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and one of his own compositions, Holy Night, Peaceful

Night. A “great arranger of Christmas songs” who produced his own album of Christmas music years ago with his wife, soprano Donna Bennett, Finley “was a natural choice” to be involved in the making of Christmas at Casa Diva, Hatfield said. “I knew his arrangements would suit us.” It was something she and her two colleagues had “been wanting to do for a really long time” and they’ll reprise their recorded performances at the concert Sunday night, which begins at 7 p.m. Admission is free. Christmas at Casa Diva wasn’t Hatfield’s first foray into recorded music with Christmas as the theme. She sang two solos as well as a duet with John McDermott for the Christmas CD he made a year earlier. The three women have gone their separate ways but keep in touch and still perform together whenever possible, as happened at Westben in the summer. “We’re all making a go of it with our solo careers but we really love singing together and hope to do more of that in the future because the experience of making the CD was a really positive one and we’ve had some really great feedback about it,” Hatfield says. Next May she will perform in concert at Koerner Hall in Toronto the title role of Judith, an oratorio written by 19th century English composer Hubert Parry. “It’s never been done in Canada,” Hatfield said. “Musically, it’s very heroic, [with] lots of high notes.” She will be singing with the Pax Christi Chorale.

Market festival a Christmas tradition
News - Hastings - “The fun part is watching the people come through,” says Lillie Rienstra of the Hastings Market’s annual Christmas festival which celebrated its fifth anniversary on Saturday at Northumberland Tractor Parts. The show, which Rienstra organized, drew at least 16 vendors offering a range of crafty items, baked
goods, preserves, mixed media paintings, Christmas decorations and other festive ware. “It’s a lot of fun; we spent the week preparing,” said Rienstra, presiding over her own table of garden fare that included a plethora of sweet potatoes which have thrived this season on her eight-acre property. “I hardly bought any groceries this
year, everything was out of the garden,” she added She planned to do her own shopping closer to the event’s end at 4 p.m. “I have stuff people won’t find every week in the grocery store,” added Anne Dillman of Castleton. “I try to do something festive; something you can’t get all the time. I also like to know what
my kids are eating.” Dillman says Christmas baking, and cooking in general, is a family-wide venture at her 100-acre farm property. “I have five kids and they just go crazy [at Christmas time].” She plans her Christmas baking out one month in advance and “then just take my time.” Her children, 12, 16,
18, 20 and 23 years of age, “enjoy it as much as I do.” There’s also a bit of a method in having her children participate in kitchen chores. “They need to learn how to cook before they move out. They cook for me. Some of them enjoy it [more than others].”

Premiere of movie features local voice-over actor
By Sue Dickens
a showing or viewing of the premiere in Newmarket and one in Barrie â&#x20AC;Ś and now there will be one here in Campbellford,â&#x20AC;? said Martha Murphy, executive director with the Foundation, who along with her friend Marth worked their contacts to bring the holiday show to town. When Marth read for the movie he tried for the role of Pete the miniature horse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was more of a comedic character and I did two or three reads. Normally if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear back within a week you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the job. Rejection is 90 per cent of this
work,â&#x20AC;? he said pragmatically, while talking about how he got the role. He did not get a call back, at least not immediately, so later when he was called and asked if he would be Clark the dog, he was surprised and excited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pete the Miniature horse has one tenth the lines of Clark the dog,â&#x20AC;? he said enthusiastically. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact he has the most lines of all the animals in the ďŹ lm. I was very happy about that.â&#x20AC;? For Marth, bringing the ďŹ lm to the Aron Theatre is not just about his role in the movie, it is about getting the chance to talk to the students who will be watching the FACTORY OUTLET STORE OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK! ďŹ lm.

in partnership with the Campbellford/ Seymour Community Foundation in support of the local Flourish campaign. Marth brings to this role more than 20 years of performing on radio and several years of voice-over contracts such as a 15-second Boston Pizza commercial he did about three months ago that appears during NFL football games. MarVista Digital Entertainment (MVDE) brings the holiday magic here this season with this premiere in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brain Power Studios is the distributor and they are premiering the movie for the cast so they had R0013041138

kids. It used to be that adults played all the kids in cartoons and movies but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the case anymore; it is child actors now. They are looking for seven-year-olds to do the voice-overs,â&#x20AC;? he explained. The guest appearance and educational aspect of the event are a bonus as far as the organizers are concerned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important is thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something special in this community. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got all this amazing talent here. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people like Joe and other people too, great artists and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got this Aron Theatre and the Community
Foundation and you start putting this all together and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something special,â&#x20AC;? said Russ Christianson founding director of the Aron Theatre. Students attending the movie are being asked to donate a toonie if they can. The movie times are 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 17, and Thursday, December 18.

News - Batawa - â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team has been making snow like crazy when Mother Nature has given us the right temperatures,â&#x20AC;? says Batawa Ski Hill general manager Andrew Rusynyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every bit of snow weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made since November 14 has got us ready for opening.â&#x20AC;? The hill will open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. this Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Sunday for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sneak Peakâ&#x20AC;? weekend. Everyone is welcome, and all types of season passes will be honoured while the lifts are running through the weekend. Official opening will then follow on Friday, December 19, with extended hours during the holiday period, with the exception of Christmas Day. Rusynyk said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to opening up and seeing the results of all of the work weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing.â&#x20AC;? A new snow-grooming cat and an expanded array of rental equipment will make the experience even more
enjoyable this year at the not-forprofit community ski hill. Weather conditions in December are not always predictable enough to ensure a firm opening date. There have been some years when the ski hill has not opened until January, but this year Mother Nature has cooperated to allow skiing to start before Christmas on seven of the nine runs in Batawa. Sales continue for Season Passes and the popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;Booter Cardâ&#x20AC;? loyalty card. The Booter Card is available for purchase this year at the Ski Hill office as well as at College Sports and Dougâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bicycle in Belleville after new partnerships were formed. A much-loved gathering place for friends and families since 1959, Batawa Ski Hill offers adventure and discovery all year long. In winter, ski and snowboard enthusiasts enjoy nine runs, including a terrain park, day and night with energy efficient LED lights.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forever in Our Heartsâ&#x20AC;?
A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone would have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one can ever fill. A light from our household is gone, A voice from our love is stilled, A place in our vacant home, Which never can be filled. Some may think you are forgotten, Though on earth you are no more, But in our memory you are with us, As you always were before. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, A part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Your precious memories are for keepsakes, With which we never part, God has you safely in his keeping, But we have you forever in our hearts!
