Council ramps up capital budget Brighton - Despite agreements with the curling club and Codrington community centre boards, Brighton council has opted to take over some minor expenses for accessibility. At its first look at the 2016 capital budget Monday night, a request for a $7,000 ramp at the back door of the curling club was approved after much changing of minds, and because it was approved, council decided to upgrade the front doors at the Codrington Community Centre at a cost of $3,000 to make that building accessible as well. Both buildings are municipallyowned and operated by separate boards. “Why not just go to tax support and do it,” Mayor Mark Walas said. New vehicles didn’t fare as well, with council first removing all vehicles from the budget, then agreeing to remove only the rubber tire excavator and an additional truck

for the fire department. Combined, these would have cost $350,000. But that doesn’t mean the other vehicles will remain, they’re just in the budget for future consideration.

Christmas cheer fundraiser By Bill Freeman Norwood – Community Care Norwood is serving up some spectacular Christmas Cheer by way of a festive fundraising draw with prizes that are bound to spoil the winners. The draw will take place Dec. 21 at Community Care’s office at Mapleview Retirement Residence and features three sumptuous Yuletide prize packages. Ticket buyers get to choose which item they would like to win by placing their tickets in the appropriate entry box; they can try for all three if they feel super lucky. One prize is a “Savoury” package which includes a large pasta dish, serving set and four pasta bowls, a serving dish set, pasta and sauce, napkins and napkin rings, flameless tea lights and candle holder, a tea towel and dish cloth, a cheese cutter and peeler, a glass butter dish and a

set of coffee mugs with tea and coffee. There is also a “Pamper Me” package featuring a one hour massage courtesy of Norwood Holistic Health, an Aveeno winter care gift pack, a Scentsy fragrance warmer with two Scentsy fragrance bars, Sandbanks white wine, Toberlone chocolate and a brain teaser eco puzzle. The third prize package includes a 100 per cent Mohair lap blanket, a selection of Twinning teas, a set of china tea mugs, all natural hot chocolate mix and all natural apple cider mix, home baked butter tart squares and coconut tarts, fruitcake, shortbread, Russel Stover chocolates, Christmas cookies and Werthers butterscotch candies. The tickets are $5 each or three for $10 and are available from any Community Care volunteers or at the Norwood office at Mapleview.

Council agreed to a fleet assessment at a cost of $20,000, but in the meantime, staff will include last year’s fleet list so council can make a better-informed decision during the next budget meeting. A report on a booster station needs assessment for the water department was also put on hold waiting for more information. The report contained two significantly different amounts - one at $50,000 and the other $6,000, and there was no staff available to answer questions on which was accurate. At this point, council has approved about $7 million in capital projects including $180,500 in general government, $65,000 for the fire department, approximately $3.2 million for public works, $637,000 for Parks and Rec, and $200,000 for Hydro installation in the industrial park. So far roads projects include completion of Young/George/Singleton, parts of Dundas, Alice, Goodfel-

low, Old Wooler, Rush, Bay, Walt, Moran, Lord, Donaldson, Scriver, Hutchinson, and all of Waite’s. More sidewalks will be constructed next year. Although there was

a line item of $100,000 for sidewalks over and above the typical $75,000, council opted to increase it to $200,000, and there will be an additional $50,000 in the operating budget to cover maintenance costs. There was a very brief discussion on making people shovel their own portion of the sidewalk, but it was agreed that with a primarily senior population, sidewalk maintenance would remain the responsibility of the municipality. Also added to the public works budget was a signalized crosswalk at Elizabeth St. at the public school. Deputy Mayor Brian Ostrander, who chaired the meeting, said they won’t know the impact on the taxpayers. “I think council will be able to make some firm decisions on the capital budget on the 4th of January,” Ostrander said. The next budget meeting is set for Jan. 4 at 4 p.m., where they’ll discuss external grants, and continue with capital budget items.

OPINION

COP21: Cheering and Fearing

The climate deal that almost 200 countries agreed to in Paris on Saturday was far better than most insiders dared to hope even one month ago. The biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, China and the United States, are finally on board. There is real on the table to Gwynne Dyer money help poor countries cut their emissions and cope with warming. They have even adopted a target of holding the warming to only +1.5 degrees C, instead of the limit of +2 degrees that was the goal when the conference opened. So the thousands of delegates who spent two weeks dickering over the details of the deal in a drafty exhibition hall north of Paris felt fully justified in cheering and congratulating one another on a job well done. Given all that, it’s a pity that the deal won’t actually stop the warming. The +2 limit was always too high. It began as a scientific estimate of when natural feedbacks, triggered by the warming that human beings had caused, take over and started driving the temperature much, much higher. It was actually quite a fuzzy number: at somewhere between +1.75 C and +2.25 C, the feedbacks will kick in and it will be game over. So +2.0 C, for political purposes, became the limit. Beyond that, governments told us, we would have “dangerous warming”. Nonsense. We are having dangerous warming now – bigger storms, worse floods, longer droughts – and we are only at +1.0 C. At +2 or thereabouts, what we get is catastrophe: runaway warming that can no longer be halted just by stopping human emissions of carbon dioxide. Nature will take over, and we will be trapped on a one-way escalator that is taking us up to +3, +4, +5, even +6 degrees. Hundreds of millions or even billions of people would die as large parts of the planet ceased to be habitable by human beings. If you don’t want to risk unleashing that, then you don’t want to go anywhere near +2, so the official adoption by the world’s governments of +1.5 degrees as the never-exceed limit is a major step forward. But note that they have only pledged “to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C,” not to succeed. The hardand-fast promise is still not to go past +2 and there is not even any guarantee that that will be achieved. In order to avoid a debacle like the one at the

last climate summit in Copenhagen six years ago, nobody even tried to put enforceable limits on national carbon dioxide emissions this time. Each country was just invited to submit the emission cuts that it is willing to make. The sum of all those promised cuts (if the promises are kept) is what we will get by way of global emission cuts in the next five years. United Nations experts did the math, and concluded that these emission cuts fall far short of what is needed. If this is all that is done, then we are headed for at least +2.7 degrees C or rather, for a lot more, because of the feedbacks. None of the negotiations at the Paris conference changed those numbers, or even tried to. So are we doomed to runaway warming? Not necessarily. Most of the negotiators know that the cuts which are politically impossible now may become quite possible in five or 10 years if the cost of renewable energy goes on dropping, if techniques like carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) become economically viable, and if people are sufficiently frightened by a climate that is getting wilder and less predictable by the year. So there is a review process built into the treaty. Every five years, starting in 2018, there will be a “stock-taking” exercise in which everybody’s progress in cutting their emissions will be reviewed, and everybody will be encouraged to increase their commitments and speed up their cuts. Whether they will actually do that depends on political, economic and technological factors that cannot yet be calculated, but fear is a great incentive, and there is no government on the planet that is not frightened by the prospect of major climate change. In fact, most of them would have gone a lot further in Paris if they were not nervous about getting too far ahead of public opinion at home. Public opinion will eventually change, because there is going to be a very large amount of damage and suffering in the world as we move past +1.0 and head up towards +1.5. Will it change fast enough to allow governments to act decisively and in time? Nobody knows. Will new green technologies simply sweep the field, making fossil fuels uneconomic and government intervention unnecessary? Nobody knows that either, although many people pin their hopes on it. We are not out of the woods yet, but we are probably heading in the right direction – and it would be right at this point to put in a good word for that much maligned organisation, the United Nations. It is the only arena in which global negotiations like this can be conducted, and its skills, traditions and people were indispensable in leading them to a more or less successful conclusion.

Policing costs have municipalities at gun point Editorial - By Chris Malette It’s hard not to pick up a newspaper in this region and not find a story about the debilitating effect that policing costs have on the bottom line of municipalities. Each year, we hear reeves, mayors and treasurers crying “Uncle!” at budget time with no end in sight. In an effort to find a solution, the 14 member municipalities in Hastings County are being asked if they are interested in requesting a costing from Ontario Provincial Police to provide police services across the entire county under one shared contract, instead of having many individual police services. Stirling-Rawdon Council earlier this month voted in favour of going ahead with investigating the feasibility of the regional policing model. “I think this is a good proposal,” said Stirling-Rawdon Mayor Rodney Cooney. Currently, policing is the responsibility of each individual municipality. At the last regular meeting of Hastings County Council in November, a comparison was made with the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, which has had unified policing for about 10 years. There, the total cost of policing the entire population of approximately 65,000 people in 2016 is estimated at $11.5-million. The cost is included in the annual county levy. The level of service is equal in all areas and there is one police board for the entire County. Hastings County – excluding Belleville - includes about 33,000 people, but the estimated total cost of policing for all 14 municipalities for 2016 is about $10-million. Of that, about 18 per cent ($1.8-million) is the cost incurred for policing in Stirling-Rawdon, alone, so it’s easy to understand the municipality might be interested in finding a way to shave costs. Hastings county council has asked each of the 14 member municipalities to decide by January 22 whether it supports moving forward with a costing request to the OPP.

years at the AMO conference – a hot topic. According to reports from the time, escalating OPP policing costs continue to be a concern for many small municipalities and Albert reported that Yasir Naqvi, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, in attendance at the conference, expressed a willingness to look at the issue, possibly even reviewing the whole Police Act. “That’s what we’ve been asking for,” said Albert. “The whole Act needs to be revised.” It’s not just a serious financial drag on Hastings County municipalities, either. In Havelock, we reported last week that a major increase in policing costs is driving a potential tax hike in the municipality of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen. Township Council once again looked at its 2016 draft budget, which proposes a 5.7 per cent tax hike with a staggering $245,277 increase in contract OPP policing costs accounting for almost four per cent of that. Policing costs in HBM jumped from $995,811 in 2015 to $1,241,088 under the OPP’s new funding formula. Policing costs alone represent 24.5 per cent of the levy increase, Treasurer Carol James said. It’s driving mayors and reeves – and their treasurers – mad with ways to meet infrastructure demands, paying their share of social services levies and all the rest, all the while staring down the barrel of what has amounted to annual increases in OPP service costs. Belleville stands alone in having a full-sized, stand-alone police service and it too is undergoing some crushing decisions – chief among them where, when and how much to spend on a new police headquarters. Some time back, there was some discussion for a regional police force that would have served Belleville and Trenton, if not all of Quinte West. It got no traction and since then, Quinte West folded the Trenton Police Force and went OPP. It’s encouraging to see, though, that Hastings council has taken the lead in seeking a solution, but the province, as was promised to Tweed mayor Albert, needs to take a serious look, too, at the entire Police Act and how it applies to smaller, rural municipalities like those that make up 80 per cent of this region.

Agriculture minister tours farms and food businesses in Northumberland

Which toothpaste is “right” for you?

Toothpaste is a gel or paste that is used in conjunction with a toothbrush to help clean and maintain the health of our teeth and gums. Most toothpastes contain a number of important components that help with the preservation of gums and teeth. These include:

Dr. Brian Ho 2. 3. 4. 5.

1. Fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel and remineralize tooth structure that has been broken down due to dental decay

Triclosan to destroy bacteria in order to promote healthy gums Abrasives to remove surface stains and debris on the tooth surface

Flavouring agents to provide a pleasant taste such as sweeteners Detergents such as sodium lauryl sulfate that give the toothpaste a foaming action while you brush

Some toothpastes contain extra ingredients that provide additional benefits beyond those described above. These include: 1. 2.

Potassium nitrate desensitizes the nerves of teeth thereby providing relief of pain caused by sensitive teeth Pro-ArginTM also reduces tooth sensitivity, however it works by blocking the channels on the tooth surface that lead to the nerve of the tooth

With the myriad of toothpaste brands and types, it can be a daunting task to determine which toothpaste is appropriate for you. When choosing a toothpaste, one should consider the contents of that toothpaste and determine if the benefits are in line with your oral health goals. For instance, if you suffer from gingivitis and halitosis (also known as bad breath), you may want to consider using a toothpaste that contains triclosan. If sensitivity with cold foods is a concern, you may want to use a toothpaste with desensitizing agents. It is also important to keep in mind the potential risks with using some toothpastes, as some contain agents that may have a negative effect on your teeth. This is especially true with whitening toothpastes. Many whitening toothpastes contain highly abrasive agents that function to scrub surface stains left by food, thereby making teeth more white. If used excessively, these same abrasive agents can scrub away the enamel on teeth, making these teeth more sensitive to hot and cold and potentially more susceptible to dental decay.

Dr. Brian Ho is a practicing general dentist in Trenton Ontario. He can be reached at Trenton Family Dental, 613.394.3883. For further information and discussion, please visit his office at www.trentonfamilydental.com. 10

So the next time you are shopping for a new tube of toothpaste, remember that not all toothpaste is created equal. Think about what you want and need for your oral health and then consider which toothpaste can help you accomplish your goals.

Farm in Brighton. “It’s great to be out and about here in Northumberland County,” said Leal, MPP for Peterborough. “Agriculture plays a big role. Not only primary agriculture in Northumberland but a lot of processing ... Cobourg’s going to be the kale capital of the world soon.” At Archers, the last stop of the day, president Stu Archer said the focus of his meeting with the visiting politicians was the operations of his family business “and how we can improve them” to prevent the onset of disease.

Northumberland – Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Jeff Leal spent most of Monday visiting agriculture-related businesses along Highway 401 in Northumberland County.

The tour was to familiarize the minister with the agricultural community in this part of the riding, said Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi, who accompanied Leal. The day began outside the riding with a visit to a business, Haute Goat, formerly located near Campbellford but now based in Newtonville, and continued eastward with stops at kale chip maker Brandneu Foods in Cobourg, the Big Apple in Colborne, and Archer’s Poultry

There were, as well, but to a lesser extent, three infected premises in southwestern Ontario that made everybody in the industry “quite concerned” and prompted their taking “extra precautions,” such as stepping up bio-security and the issuing of special permits “in and out of the infected area.” Archer said he wanted to convey to Leal and Rinaldi that his business is “doing the utmost” to guard against disease because it supplies “a large percentage of the day-old chicks for the leghorn industry in Ontario. We want to make sure that we’re doing everything we can [to ensure] it’s a safe and reliable product.” The government has introduced bio-security measures in the past with funding initiatives “to make sure everything is clean. And they’ve always been really good in helping us with anything to do with knowledge and securing the food for Ontario.” Archer’s hatches in excess of five million chicks a year, accounting for more than 50 per cent of the market for day-old leghorn chicks in Ontario. It also sells eggs, and supplies about 45,000 tonnes of chicken feed to poultry farmers from the Barrie area to near Ottawa. “All the chicks are shipped out within 24 hours of the hatch” Archer said, to be raised as layer birds. The sale of eggs these days is “very, very strong,” with “people eating a lot of eggs right now,” he said. “We’re enjoying the uptrend.” The poultry business, which employs 35 people full-time, was started by Archer’s grandparents, Cecil and Flo Archer, in Port Hope in the 1930s. It moved to Brighton in 1946.

Hoselton Sculptures almost ‘dusted’ by equipment failure

Jan Hoselton, second from the right, is the president of a family business that manufactures sculptures from molten recycled aluminum. She credits the dedication of her team in overcoming a significant setback a year ago when a fire damaged the dust collector beyond repair. The employees include, l-r, Penny Scriver, Tim Carr, Pamela Robertson, Adam Barrera, Kayla Audenaert and Jay Hennessy. Photo by John Campbell

most important pieces of equipment in the manufacture of hand-poured and finished sculptures from molten recycled aluminum, couldn’t be repaired. So a new one was ordered at a cost of roughly $130,000. “I had to lay quite a few people off, some of them for two months,” Hoselton said. The unit “should have been up and running and fully functional by March,” Hoselton said, but her business “ran into severe problems” with its Ontario supplier. The installers it hired weren’t qualified, she said, and “they put it in all backwards.” That created problems in quality control, which slowed down production and created a logistical nightmare trying to fill orders. The pieces had to be checked and re-checked, because of the poor air quality, “which was very costly,” Hoselton said. “It was frustrating” having to call clients and apologize for late deliveries. “If it wasn’t for the team working together ... [and] really pushing hard, we would be closed.” She took time off in the summer because “I was at my wits’ end, I thought I was done emotionally,” she said.

“Write for Rights” in Belleville

Belleville - Belleville’s Amnesty International called on the community to “Write for Rights’ to show their support for victims of human rights abuse around the world on International human Rights Day, Thursday Dec. 10. The annual campaign was held from 1:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Belleville’s Bridge Street Church with

tables filled of booklets explaining many cases of human rights abuse around the world. Tables were filled with supplies for people to write to government officials to ask for justice and to the victims of the abuse to let them know they are not forgotten. Darren Moore has attended the “Write for Rights” day in Belleville for many years now and said it’s very important for him to write letters to victims and encourage action to stop human

rights abuse.

Northumberland County co-ordinating services for Syrian refugees ration among sponsorship groups, government offices, local agencies and volunteers and a county-wide coordinated effort that supports all sponsorship groups in Northumberland. “Residents will be able to welcome these families with the understanding and appreciation that their arrival will enrich the diversity and social/cultural traditions in our community,” the county said in its statement “The committee anticipates the need for critical refugee settlement supports, especially in language training as well as other settlement issues including education and training, housing, health and immigration supports. Resources, information and links are available on the County’s website at <http://www.welcometonorthumberland.ca/>.

Rotary donates $25,000 to preserving Presqu’ile lighthouse The Rotary Club of Brighton formally presented a cheque for $25,000 to the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society recently. The funding came from the sale of a home on Yonge Street that had been donated to the club by Henry Hayes. Rotary has also used the proceeds in support of the library and a new clock at the cenotaph. Dave Sharp, the society’s chair of marketing, said preparation of drawings that will allow contractors to quote on the project to preserve the 175-year-old lighthouse should take place in late spring next year, “if all goes well. We are presently waiting for final approval of Ontario Parks management to proceed with this project and are confident that we will obtain that approval by early 2016.” Photo submitted

Northumberland – Northumberland County officials are using existing resources and networks to create connections to ease the integration of Syrian families’ arrival in local communities. In a press release officials stated, “As a safe and caring community, Northumberland County has built a reputation as a place where people of all ages and backgrounds can prosper.” “It is important for us to provide as much information and resources and facilitate connections for any individual or group assisting new Canadians,” stated Dan Borowec, Northumberland County’s director of economic development and tourism. “This responsibility does not fall to single individuals or organizations, but rather the community as a whole. The county has been working steadily to support the efforts of everyone involved,” he added. The Resource Committee on Refugee Sponsorships and Resettlement in Northumberland County is a core group of government and community agencies that provides support and coordination to refugee sponsorship groups as well as support for resettlement here.

Park bench a tribute to former fire chief’s 50 years of service

By John Campbellford

Warkworth – Bill Kelly retired to the sidelines a year ago after serving five decades as a firefighter but now it’s official – he’s been benched. That is, a bench was installed in his honour recently by the Municipality of Trent Hills in recognition of his years of service, many of which were as the chief of the Warkworth Fire Department. It’s “a great tribute” for someone who was in the fire service as long as Kelly was, Councillor Rick English said, and it’s “so fitting” that the bench is located in the park that oversees the firehall. English, a volunteer firefighter for more than a quarter century, said he has “the utmost respect” for his former chief. “He really served the municipality well, and in his latter years he looked after Hastings as well,” said English, a deputy station chief. “Just a very dedicated fire chief.” Former CAO Mike Rutter came up with the idea of recognizing Kelly in this manner, Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake said. Former Warkworth fire chief Bill Kelly was a volunteer firefighter for 50-plus years. The Municipality of Trent Hills recently installed a bench in his honour in the park near the fire hall where he served so “It’s a great concept,” he said. “You put long. It’s a better tribute to his years of dedication than a plaque on a wall that nobody sees, Fire Chief Tim Blake. Photo submitted a plaque up on your wall and nobody really sees it, this is out in the public and says a little bit about the dedication the Health Unit Holiday Hours man had.” His serving 50-plus years “I don’t The Health Unit office will be closed for the think you’ll see that too often.” holiday season on: December 24, 25, 28, 31 Kelly said he was “very pleased” by and January 1. what the municipality has done. “I appreciate the recognition,” he See our clearance ad said, but “the best part of it” is that the Best wishes for a happy in this weeks paper bench is “something that everybody and healthy holiday can use.” season from the staff of Kelly, 70, said he’s enjoying retirethe Haliburton, Kawartha, ment and doesn’t miss “getting up in Pine Ridge District the middle of the night” to go fight a tm Health Unit. fire, or having to attend meetings, but “you miss the people and the friends Since 1986 Toll-free: 1-866-888-4577 you’ve made.” 191 Dundas Street East, Belleville • Tel: (613) 966-9964 Website: www.hkpr.on.ca He’s keeping busy and “that helps a lot,” he said. “I don’t think I could handle sitting in a house all day every day.

Firefighters help out Legion with its hamper program

Good News and Bad News

Dear Editor As Brighton Council completes its disastrous first 12 months in office and enters its second year there is good news and there is bad news. The good news is that after a year of decimating the ranks of senior staff Council members may finally be motivated to rebuild. In an article in your December 8th newspaper (Council votes itself in as waterkeeper) your reporter graphically describes the mounting anxiety at their Dec. 1 meeting as Council members recognized that in the absence of qualified senior staff they are personally liable for problems with the Water and Wastewater treatment systems. Before the meeting was over at least four members spoke For the fourth year in a row, the Cramahe Firefighters Association set aside a day to collect food for to the urgent need to fill the positions of the Colborne Legionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas hamper program.

Statistics provided in the update showed that 100 per cent of THFHT patients received notification of a follow-up appointment with the team within seven days of discharge, surpassing the target of 75 per cent. The hospital continues to focus on successful programs such as its Restorative Care program for frail older adults and the use of screening tools during admission to identify frail, high-risk patients who might be susceptible to functional decline. As well, patient-centred initiatives to improve patient satisfaction include the introduction of a “patient experience advisor role” to ensure patient and family feedback is heard and that patients’ needs are met in terms of quality of care and services. Feedback shows that 95.3 per cent of patients overall, gave their hospital experience a rating of “excellent, very good and good.” As well, 95.3 per cent of ED patients noted they would recommend CMH to friends and family. More information on the hospital’s quality performance and reporting can be found at <www.cmh.ca>.

Campbellford – Reducing wait times in the emergency department (ED) is just one of the areas the Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) reported on in its quality improvement plan (QIP). Strengthening links and communication with other area health care providers, improving patient satisfaction in particular in the patient discharge process, continuing to improve the hospital’s financial health and safety are the others. An update on the plan for the fiscal year 2015-16 was presented at the hospital board’s recent regular meeting and results showed where the focus on service excellence and safety for patients “is producing the right results” ensuring the best care for patients. A legislated requirement, the QIP is a tool which provides a structured format and common language that focuses an organization such as CMH on continuous improvement. “We are always looking at how we operate and work together to improve our performance,” said Brad Hilker, president and CEO at CMH. “Our QIP is a way for us to make sure that our team shares an understanding of our priorities for the year and enables us to measure our performance against our peers while being aligned with Central East Local Health Integration Network strategic aims, our hospital’s strategic plan and other health care organizations focused on quality care,” he added. In terms of access, the emergency department has seen improvements in wait times due to an increase in Nurse Practitioner coverage to assist people. The hospital has also been developing a volunteer role in the ED to provide communication between people in the waiting area and the nursing team.

Reports and feedback indicate this is a welcome addition to the services. The hospital has set a target wait time for admitted patients at 15 hours and in this quarter CMH reported coming in under that time at 12.90 hours. The length of stay for “non-admitted complex” patients was 5.90 hours, below the target set of 6.20. The target for non-admitted minor patients was 3.80 and the hospital reported a time above that of 3.90 hours, missing its target marginally. The links with other care providers such as Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) and the Trent Hills Family Health Team (THFHT) are in place to improve the patient discharge process, patient satisfaction and to reduce unnecessary hospital readmission. To facilitate this, a CCAC health care provider is now part of the CMH daily rounds team and decision-making for a patient’s discharge. As well, a “timely followup” with the THFHT after a patient has been discharged from the hospital is included in the process.

Brad Hilker, CEO and president of Campbellford Memorial Hospital commented on the updated quality improvement plan (QIP) which was presented to the board at a recent regular meeting noting areas of continuous improvement. Photo by Sue Dickens

Chiefs still have trouble winning but putting up a better fight By John Campbell Colborne – Wins have been hard to come by for the Colborne Chiefs during their first season in the Greater Metro Hockey League. They’ve managed only six in 26 contests, and have gone winless their past four. The most recent loss was a 11-0 shellacking Dec. 9 at the hands of the Alliston Coyotes who share top spot in the GMHL with the Kingsville Kings. But the Chiefs acquitted themselves much better against the Tottenham Steam in a 6-3 defeat Dec. 8 at the Keeler Centre. The score was a huge improvement over two previous losses to the Steam, 14-1 and 14-2. In fact, Colborne took a 2-0 lead in the second period on goals by David Chachalak and Austin Mackie. However, the visitors pulled even before intermission on a pair of goals in a twominute span. Two more in the third gave Tottenham the

lead. The Chiefs’ Dade Jones-Hickling cut it in half but a goal by the Steam with less than two minutes to play sealed the win. The Chiefs also put up a better fight against the Meaford Knights Dec. 2, dropping a 6-5 decision, after having been pummelled 7-2 in their previous encounter. Colborne fell behind 5-2 in the second but scored three times in the third to make a game of it. Meaford’s Brennan Watson scored what proved to be the winner at 8:58. Alex Basey of the Chiefs was the game’s third star with four assists. Roland Kollo scored twice while Chachalak, Daniel Blais and Matt Davies had one goal apiece. Curtis Campbell made 33 saves in the Colborne net. The Chiefs currently sit in 24th spot, tied with the Sturgeon Falls Lumberjacks. Six teams sit below them. Colborne hosted Grey ENSS and Bayside Secondary School’s women’s hockey teams faced off against each other in a hard fought game on Monday County Dec. 16. The Chiefs’ next home game Dec. 14. There was no score in the first two periods but ENSS began to wear down BSS in the final period to win 3-0. Photo by is Jan. 6 against the Oshawa RiverKings.

Quinte Irish Canadian Society celebrates an Irish Christmas By Terry McNamee Irish culture is alive and well in Belleville and area, thanks in large part to the Quinte Irish Canadian Society. The group recently held its annual Christmas dinner at the Belleville Shrine Club Hall. The event attracted what may have been a record turnout. “We had 111 people attend,” said club president Wilfred Gaube. “It is the most that I remember in the years that I have been involved.” Before dinner, a mix of traditional Irish and Christmas music was played by the Quinte Irish Seisiun Players, a group with members from throughout the area, playing a variety of instruments, including fiddles, flutes, bodrans (Irish hand drums) and whistles. “After dinner, we had Martin Smit, a member of the Celtic/folk group Seventh Town, lead us in a Christmas carol sing along,” Gaube said. The evening ended with a wonderful demonstration of Irish dancing by members of the Belleville branch of the Kelly School of Irish Dance. The dancers, outfitted in their competition dresses, ranged in age from preschoolers to teenagers. The Quinte Irish Canadian Society was founded in 1979 to promote interest in Irish culture. Its mission is to preserve and transmit Irish music, singing and dance though lectures, concerts, socials, plays and classes. Irish ancestry is not a requirement to become a member. Membership is $15 for individuals ($10 for seniors) and $25 for families. For more information, go to http://quinteirishcanadiansociety.blogspot.ca Members of the Belleville branch of the Kelly School of Irish Dance entertained members of the Quinte Irish Canadian Society following the society’s annual Christmas dinner held at the Belleville Shrine Club Hall on Saturday, Dec. 5.

Club 39 enriches area hospices

Club 39, which has been in existence for more than 50 years, began as a group that gathered for ‘singles dances.’ In more recent years, the group has met regularly for public dance nights for singles and couples. Club 39 gathers every other Friday at the Fish and Game Club on Elmwood Drive in east Belleville and revelers and group members travel from a wide area including Kingston, Napanee, Belleville, Picton, Brighton, Stirling, Marmora, Madoc, Tweed and beyond.

At the club’s Christmas Dinner Dance on Dec. 11, Club 39 presented each of four local hospices with a $500 donation from money raised at its dances. This is the third year for such. At the Dec. 11 dance, presentations were made to Hospice Quinte- Belleville; Heart of Hastings Hospice- Madoc; Hospice Lennox & Addington –Napanee and to Hospice Prince Edward- Picton. Representatives from the hospices were on hand to accept the donations.

The Ontario Economic Update 2016 was released recently by the Ontario Chamber and Credit Unions of Ontario, with support from the Quinte West and Belleville Chambers of Commerce. The forecast is described as the most wide-reaching provincial economic forecast of the year.  Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) residential sales in the Quinte region are up 20 per cent, compared to a provincial average of 9.4 per cent. Meanwhile, the MLS® residential average sale price is up about five per cent in the Quinte region.   Belleville and Quinte West are located in the Statistics Canada economic region of Kingston-Pembroke, which has had a difficult 2015, and is expected to experience a 3.4 per cent decline in employment. However, the region is expected to regain form in the coming years, with employment projected to grow by 2 per cent a year through 2017.   Housing will continue to be a source of economic growth with more sales and new construction and higher prices, the report says.  Meanwhile, the Quinte Region’s manufacturing base should benefit from an improving external economic backdrop, including a lower Canadian dollar and higher U.S. economic growth. Ongoing low oil prices are a positive for consumers and businesses as are low interest rates. Improved growth in Ontario’s economy will also contribute to the region’s growth in 2016 and 2017.   According to the province-wide data, most areas of Ontario will enjoy improving economic conditions Please see “Housing” on page 3

LHIN CEO says time for ‘culture change’ in health care By Stephen Petrick Belleville – A lengthy board meeting for the South East Local Health Integration Network turned dramatic Monday, when the topic of performance targets

for health organizations came up. South East LHIN Chief Executive Officer Paul Huras suggested it’s time “for a culture change” in the health care system, meaning health care pro-

viders should have measurable performance goals and face some type of consequence if they’re not met. The discussion came during a section of the day-long meeting when the board began discuss-

ing an Auditor General’s report which ranked performances of the province’s LHINs. The South East LHIN – an organization that oversees health care organizations in Southeast Ontario, including Quinte Health Care – ranked tied for fourth among 14 LHINs in Ontario, the board was told. Part of the problem, Huras said, is that the South East LHIN doesn’t have the ability to demand that health care providers meet its expectations and, in some cases, the goals of an individual organization’s board are different from the goals of the South East LHIN board. Although a hospital CEO’s salary could be linked to performance expectations, those expectations could be different

than the ones the LHIN see as most important. That’s something the Ministry of Health will eventually have to address, Huras said. “There’s no other word (to use) than ‘tougher,’” Huras said, speaking of the need for expectations. “There has to be consequences for not meeting targets. “We may not get to the (United Kingdom) model where heads roll if you don’t perform, but we may. This is a huge amount of money (that the province is spending on health care). There should be outcomes.” The issue arose in a section of the meeting that was for information purposes, but board chair Donna Segal said it’s an issue the board will have to continue to discus.

“It’s a disappointing report,” she said. “It’s disappointing for us. It requires a mind shift.” However, she noted that many other LHINs are dealing with the same concerns. The same report gave the South East LHIN a failing grade on how it handles MRI services, with a score of 49 per cent, the board was told. Yet that grade was the highest in the province, Segal pointed out. Board member Brian Smith agreed it’s time for health organizations to have targets that they’re expected to meet. “It’s nice to see people meeting targets. Otherwise why do we have targets?” he asked, rhetorically. “The public today is much more accepting of that than they would have been a couple years ago.”

Continued from page B2 in part by an uptick in exports, the result of a stronger U.S. economy and a low Canadian dollar. Government fiscal policy will also be a key driver, as federal and provincial infrastructure commitments will stimulate growth across a variety of sectors, the forecast suggests.

“We are encouraged by these early signs of an economic recovery in our region lead by a strong and diverse economy,” said Bill Saunders, CEO of the Belleville Chamber of Commerce. “It remains to be seen what impact current and pending Provincial Legislation will have on our ability to sustain these results.”

reviews from almost every major blues, roots, and rock n’ roll publication and have 12 Maple Blues award nominations and a Juno nomination for Blues Album of Year. When describing The 24th Street Wailers, Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd), host of the House of Blues Radio Hour, said their music “is just great, gritty, fun, live stuff!” On Saturday, Jan. 9 the Wail-

ers will take to the stage of the Stirling Festival Theatre with the members of the award-winning CDHS Jazz Band to raise funds for the Campbellford Memorial Hospital’s Angels of Care Campaign. This is a return performance for The Wailers who supported the fundraiser in 2014. The CDHS Jazz Band under the direction of teacher Dave Noble, is recognized as one of Canada’s

finest student jazz groups and has won almost every award around, including 25 national gold awards. Graduates of the CDHS music program can be found in Toronto jazz clubs, the Canadian Opera Company, and at North American post-secondary institutions including McGill University, Humber College, MIT, and the University of Nevada in Las Vegas.

Previous CDHS Jazz Band fundraising concerts have raised almost $20,000 for the hospital and seen the band perform with Jeff Healey, the Downchild Blues Band, Hilario Duran, and Denny Christianson. Tickets for the concert are $20 for adults or $15 for students. They are available from the Stirling Festival Theatre box office or online at <www.stirlingfestivaltheatre.com>.

Hospital cafeterias closing Cafeterias are closing down at some Quinte Health Care hospitals, Metroland Media has learned. A memo was sent to all QHC staff recently, announcing the closure of the cafeterias at Prince Edward County Memorial and Trenton Memorial hospitals. The Auxillary cafes at Prince Edward and TMH will still serve drinks and sandwiches.

The cafeterias will be closed by March 7, 2016. At Belleville General Hospital, the cafeteria will be replaced by a retail food operation, which will by run by Compass, the company which currently operates the QHC cafeterias. QHC says they had to subsidize the cafeterias, at a loss of $120,000 annually but it was noted there will be no job losses in the changes.

Students win as Learning Foundation celebrates successful year

The directors of The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation made a presentation to the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board for $533,870 at the foundation’s recent annual general meeting. This represented the support provided to HPEDSB students over the past year. In total, The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation provided $1,240,911 in support to students in South East Ontario during the 2014-15 fiscal year. Accepting the cheque on behalf of HPEDSB were Trustee Vice-Chair Lucille Kyle, and Director of Education Mandy Savery-Whiteway, from Learning Foundation Chair Geoff Cudmore and Treasurer Dave Clazie.Also celebrated at the meeting was the funding of the Fun FRIENDS Program. The Learning Foundation provided a gift of $19,000 to support this program for both the public board and the Algonquin & Lakeshore Catho-

lic District School Board students in Hastings and Prince Edward counties. The Fun FRIENDS Program is a universal program that supports the treatment and prevention of childhood anxiety in 4-7 year olds. It focuses on increasing social-emotional skills, coping skills and resilience to prevent the onset of emotional and behavioural problems in later life. Finally, directors of The Learning Foundation heard firsthand accounts of how their work positively impacted student lives. North Hastings High School principal Ken Dostaler, and Trenton High principal Ken Manderville, shared their stories for both the Student Emergency Fund and the Food for Learning programs. They noted that programs such as these, which allow for caring and kindness in a respectful manner, truly make a difference for some of our most vulnerable and marginalized children and youth.

Trenton man wins $100,000

By Erin Stewart

Trenton - Michael Dingee of Trenton won $100,000 when his ENCORE selection matched six of seven winning numbers on LOTTO MAX’s Dec. 4, draw. “My wife and sister-in-law were on the computer checking the numbers and discovered we had a winning ticket,” shared Michael, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his windfall. “When they told me, I didn’t believe them. Even though I’m an IT consultant, I didn’t trust the computer!” Dingee is from Trenton but the winning ticket wasn’t purchased in his hometown. The ticket was purchased at Grace Convenience on Pharmacy Avenue in Toronto. He told OLG he plans to use his winnings to pay off his bills, help out his children and top up his RRSP’s.

However, as you may remember from that previous article, I did eventually take a train through a section of the valley, from Ollantaytambo to the Lost City of the Incas.

Here we could bargain with the locals over the ‘final price’ of a Peruvian handicraft, alpaca sweater, or locally designed jewellery. We could also gaze up at the terraced hillsides surrounding us (arguably the best system of terraces made by the Incas in the Andes), which are still in use today! Nearby was the Archaeological Park of Pisac, with its astonishing Inca ruins, including various baths, water fountains, altars, and Walking on an ancient footpath high above Ollantaytambo, Peru.

OPINION

Murphy’s not just a law – it’s a tree too. A pathetic one!

My kids and I still laugh about Murphy the Christmas Tree. That’s Murphy as in Murphy’s Law – “Anything that can possibly go wrong, does.” It was a week or so from Christmas, some years back, when we lived on a lovely 42-acre farm on the outskirts of Stirling. For reasons now lost to the mists of time, we’d left getting a Christmas tree uncharacteristically late that year. Oh, I suppose we could have gone traipsing around in the woodlot in the back of the property and found a withered little spruce or stunted pine, but since the previous owners had let one of those woodlot bandits come in and rape the woods for all usable hardwood for a pittance of a quick-buck cheque, the bush had little in the way of usable trees from which to choose – the pines had all been trampled and flattened when they skidded out all the maple, oak and ironwood trees the bandits wanted. So, race we did into Belleville to hit Switzer’s – Belleville’s go-to tree lot

for the desperate and the discerning alike. I had some history with the Switzer lot, having befriended patriarch, the grizzled Alfred Switzer, back in the early 80s when Alfred lived in his trailer for three weeks a year in the lot near our apartment at Albert & Dundas Streets. Alfred, who kept his drinking water in a milk can outside the trailer and a wad of cash hidden under his pillow inside – protected by an ax handle and an iron bar, lest thieves try their luck – was camped out one particularly miserable winter and I asked him if he needed to use our facilities, come in for a wash or to use the phone. Invited him in for a pot roast dinner, one Sunday, too. He repaid me with some lovely jars of jugged trout that his wife prepared – lake trout caught near his place outside Bancroft. Alfred was quite a character on the woodlot, always flirting with women but never haggling with the men – hell, he never gave me much of a deal on a tree, come to think of it, but we always

got a photo of him, son Connie or his grandson in the paper when they rolled into town with their trees each year. I digress. On this Sunday, just days out from Christmas, I gathered up my daughters and we raced into town to see what Switzer might have left on the lot. That is, we would have had he not packed up the day before and dragged his hockey sock full of city slicker tree money back north with him. Panicked, I raced down to see if the Kiwanians had any left at their lot at Dewe’s. Nada. They’d packed up, too. Thinking we’d have to lop down a full-sized pine on the farm and trim off the top five feet, I roared over to the scary lot that used to set up shop on College Street, across from Quinte SS. Literally, there were three Charlie Brown rejects shivering their needles off on the lot this day and the lot boss was getting ready to toss them in his truck and get himself into a good double rum `n Coke somewhere. As we pulled up, some of Belleville’s, er, finer citizens came peeling in in a

taxi, scrambling too for a tree. Not fussy, but clutching cash, they made for the only decent specimen of the sorry lot left on the lot just as we did the same. It was a standoff. Our man, Shylock, who was running the lot could smell a triple-rum winner-winner-chicken-dinner coming out of this clutch of desperados, so the bidding war began. We won by dint of a fiver more I had in my jeans and I strapped the pathetic sapling to the roof of the Jeep with bungees. Feeling like we’d at least salvaged a (semi) live tree for Christmas, off up Highway 62 we roared. That is, until I looked in the rear-view just in time to see Murphy cartwheel through the air, landing in a shower of dead needles directly in front of a swerving half-ton behind us. Skreeeeeeeech! Reverse, rush out into traffic to rescue the now skid-burned bundle of twigs and lash the whole sorry mess back to the roof. Oh, the reception we got at home was

Chris Malette one for the books. Up went Murphy, but no end of turning it could hide the road rash or broken branches, but we made do. My girls are 24 and 30 now. We still remember that day – and Murphy – over a laugh and an eggnog whenever their busy paths cross enough with ours to get home for Christmas. Here’s hoping you and yours and your Murphy are ready for Christmas!

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth: Two Christmas cactus stories

All of the shops are chock-a-block with Christmas plants, from poinsettia to mistletoe to hellebores and even cactus. I confess, Gentle Reader, that my cynical side sometime emerges amidst the retail rush and these lovely flowers become nothing more than a product on the shelf; a trinket used to decorate the parlour a la Martha Stewart and then tossed in the trash shortly after New Year’s Day, if they survive that long. Yet, I love flowers and enjoy their presence in our home, although if you must know, my track record with houseplants is not good at all. We have some peace lilies that are hanging in there after a few years of my special care, a collection of dead cactus which did not survive a few years of my special care and, in a corner behind the dining room table, some soil-filled pots with stems so withered I can’t even identify them. Over the years only one plant amongst those mentioned seems to rise above the others. It is not the poinsettia even though it has become the number one selling Christmas plant in North America. (Actually, we have two large pots of the Cortez variety with its burgundy

bracts instead of the more common bright red leaves decorating our living room.) Mistletoe is an interesting plant; a parasite that takes its sustenance from whatever tree or shrub an obliging avian vector passes by. It has an important niche in environmental diversity but its importance as a Christmas plant is novel at best. Hellebores, aka Christmas Rose and Easter Rose, is best suited as an outdoor plant in the perennial garden. However, some will be in bloom over Christmas time in our hoop houses and might make it to the retail counter; certainly, some shops will be offering it as a flowering houseplant. The good thing about it is that it is very easy to care for until warmer spring temperatures allow for outside planting. The Christmas cactus, arguably the most unprepossessing of the lot, seems to be the most enduring. I have yet to hear anyone talk about inheriting their Grandmother’s poinsettia. Betty’s mother did inherit the care of her mother-in-law’s Christmas cactus in due time and nurtured them for decades. I remember two enamelled milk pails (circa 1930s) each with a

UR O Y T E L DON’ T SE A E L E L VEHIC N. W O D U O CHAIN Y

clump of ugly, flat, mantis-green, crab-like tentacle-y things residing in the corner of the farm’s root cellar. When I became a part of the family, it seemed to be my job to bring them outside in the warmer weather, for quite few seasons. Somehow, those ugly lumps of plant produced the most exquisite blossoms, emerging from tentacle tips just in time for Christmas. I had my first lesson in the role of a family’s heritage that a plant can assume. It was very easy to look at those flowers and imagine our parents and grandparents tending that same plant and the Christmases shared. Today, during a Christmas concert at our church, our dear friend Neva told a story about her Christmas cactus. Everyone has sad times and often we don’t quite know what to do. Well, Neva and her family experienced that last year and her friend, Sue, gave her a plant. (Sue is a clever lass and knew what to do.) Neva spoke of the friendship and comfort she received but she also expressed her concern about being able to care for this plant. Sometimes, GR, we don’t realise the burden we might place on someone

when we give them a live plant. Neva cared for her wee treasure with hope, a lot of reading about how to care for a Christmas cactus and a bit of fear; not wanting to kill it. Well, today that same plant was presented to us in full bloom! Lesson number two for me: plants have tremendous healing properties far beyond any pharmaceutical purpose. We can’t change what has happened and it often is small comfort to offer verbal platitudes during difficult times. At Christmas time, sad times can be more poignant, more heartbreaking as the griever is surrounded by such joy and anticipation that they feel even more isolated. However, Sue’s gift to Neva of this living, growing plant was an expression of concern and love that embraced both the giver and the receiver. Today, that joy and love embraced all of us who heard the story. Gentle Reader, this might not be the prettiest of the Christmas plants, but I do see its beauty in the hearts and souls of my friends. Those Cortez poinsettias in our house will surely be noticed; the cactus might not but rest assured, it will be there. I will think of Neva and Sue and our families and I will smile.

Hunter Pace/Trail Ride event supports Wheels of Hope All the participants made a special effort to be dressed up for the competition, with prizes going to those with the best costumes. Following the ride a barbeque was held and prizes were awarded. Wheels of Hope is a program that has volunteer drivers take cancer patients to hospitals, sometimes as far away as Kingston and Ottawa. Twenty per cent of cancer patients could not get to cancer treatments without the Wheels of Hope program, the CCS says. Funds raised from the event will help cover these travel costs.

R0013600789

Foxboro – A hunter pace/trail ride event held last summer ended up raising $1,186.28 for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels for Hope program. The 2015 Hunter Pace/Trail Ride was held in August at the Double Q Farm. Organizers were Hilda and Johan Bos and Susan Way. Forty-six riders travelled a distance of 8 or 16 kilometres on privately owned trails throughout Quinte West.  The organizers are grateful for the landowners, volunteers, sponsors and participants, who made it a wonderful day.
