News – Brighton – School board officials offered a detailed explanation of how the East Northumberland Secondary School track and field project went off the rails at a special meeting requested by the school’s parent council last week. Rusty Hick, the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board Director of Education, provided
a time line for the many setbacks the project has encountered since the contract was awarded in November 2011 to the lowest bidder, Terratechnik, which subsequently went bankrupt. “Obviously looking back, they were not the best company, things did not go well,” Hick said. A new contractor, GatemanMilloy, was brought in last June by the bonding company that has
taken over management of the project, and it found numerous areas where work had to be redone because of its poor quality. A drainage pipe, for example, was partially filled with concrete. “Every project, of course, has challenges, this one has some significant ones,” Hick said. They included discovery of an abandoned buried sanitary tank and poor underground soil

conditions, which required the soil to be excavated and better earth trucked in. Further delays occurred when subcontractors, who hadn’t been paid, secured liens against the job site and refused to return to work until they received their money. The school board decided to pay the sub-trades directly, Hick said. Gateman-Milloy relocated the steeplechase, completed the final
grading of the track, improved the drainage of the field, fixed faulty underground services, and properly installed a catch basin. “We have lots of good examples where things have gone extremely very well (on other projects) so this was very unusual that this was happening,” Hick said. Construction is expected to resume at the start of next April Please see “Education” on page 5

If the communication had been “a bit better all the way along the frustration level wouldn’t have been so high ... The bumps might have been a little smoother.” Steen said if weekly updates are provided to the principal her council could relay the information to the community. If that happens, “then this meeting was a success.” ENSS principal Jeff Kawzenuk led off the meeting held Dec. 18 in the school library by noting “the project has had its share of bad luck, misfortune, call it what you will. “While I deeply feel for the students of ENSS, we cannot forget the many improvements that have taken place (at the school). “Our library is an example that some things are worth waiting for.”

and be completed by the end of May, he said, “assuming we get a fairly normal spring.” Still to be done is to sod the field, put in irrigation, finish the asphalt on the track and apply a rubber coating, among other things. Audience members, including teachers, students and parents, expressed frustration that the project has dragged on so long and deprived students of an athletic facility that was supposed to be completed last year. “It hurts us too, we’re in this together, we’re partners,” Hick said, noting the school board has upped its funding support from $140,000 in 2009 to $540,000 this fall to cover the increased cost. The track and field upgrade has doubled, from an initial estimate of $600,000, to $1.2 million. So far $378,000 has been spent on the project. The community raised $315,000, the municipality is contributing $200,000 and a Trillium Foundation grant of $100,000 was awarded. Tim Larry, the school’s phys. ed. director whose program has been topsy-turvy since the project began, said “so much of the frustration” in the community has to do with the selection process at the tender level that led to Terratechnik being chosen. “It’s been hard on all of us,” he said. Others complained the school board could have done a better job monitoring progress on site, and were told by one board official that the board doesn’t have the staff to be at the project at all times so it relies on the contractor and consultant. “Mistakes were made and they weren’t caught,” parent council chair Sonyia Steen said. Adrian Ellis said much of the
frustration felt in the community was over “lack of communication” from the board, which he called “a bit of failure. It took two years for the community to receive a letter from the board as to what has happening,” he said. Nick Reed the prime minister of the school’s student cabinet, said students were fed “a lot of empty promises or broken promises,” and he asked the board compensate them and the community, perhaps by providing equipment. Steen said afterward she’s “hopeful that things will be completed as they (said). I’m also very hopeful they’ll find no more mistakes.” The parent council asked the board for the meeting, saying “we need to know what’s going on, enough is enough.”

Brighton City Council – “Baah, humbug!”
Dear Editor, Last night (Dec. 17, 2013) my wife and I attended our first Brighton Council meeting, not a regular council meeting but one billed as a “Public Forum” to enable public input on the first draft of next year’s budget. This budget showed a 17.4% increase,
and, if I understand correctly, it was put together by an administrative person (who I hear is off on medical leave, supposedly due to her reaction to comments made by Mayor Walas about the budget on the radio – really!). The budget was based on input from all of the various munici-
pal departments. Unfortunately, that administrative person was not there to answer questions, so the previous evening the council voted on and agreed to the public forum approach to things. As Deputy-Mayor Vandertoorn explained to the assembled group, we were not going to have
any presentations made to us, or an opportunity to question the presenters, but we were invited to convene in small groups with staff members and/ or councillors to ask any questions about the budget. Well, I had a few problems with this process and stated so. Quite a few

others agreed. In the first place, I do not think that this administrative wish list budget should have even been offered to the public for their input. It should have been properly vetted by council, who should have asked some tough questions of the department managers, requiring solid justifications for their requests and estimates. Then, council would have come up with a more reasonable budget to present to the people for comments. The council members would then be very familiar with the budget items and would have been able to field questions with the aid of staff, justifying why certain items were necessary and were reasonable estimates. The administrative staff cannot be expected to answer those kinds of questions. The managers of the various departments could also certainly assist in answering such questions. I suggest this is a common sense approach to things. Instead, what was proposed was inefficient and seemed as if it was a process deliberately designed to squelch public dialogue. It could have been that the same question was being asked at the same time of different people in these small groups, with the possibility of different answers being given. We, the public, wanted to hear the questions addressed to the correct person and all hear the answers from that person, all at

one time. Also, if you wanted to ask a question of a staff member or a councillor in a small group, you might have to wait a long time until the people with questions ahead of you, completed their dialogue with that person. The whole process was a sham and ill-conceived. I would also like to comment on the overall workings of our council. I suggest that any system which allows councillors to vote on and deny the mayor an opportunity to address the gathered public is a very bad one. This is what happened. After all, Mayor Walas is not accused, I am sure, of anything remotely close to what the Mayor of Toronto is accused of, so there can be no justification for repeatedly putting a muzzle on him, or requesting that he “leave the room” as has been done in the past. I believe this happens quite often. If I am incorrect on this, I invite any and all councillors to correct me. I was very discouraged as to what I saw in my first exposure to council but instead of just walking away in disgust, I am going to see if I can, over the next few months, stir up the interest of the “silent majority” into what is going on with regard to the running of the municipality. If I am successful, it may have a significant impact on the results of the October 2014 elections. Joe Burrell, Brighton
News - Brighton – At their regular meeting last week Brighton council referred a suggestion from Northumberland County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Inspector Doug Borton to municipal staff for a report. In an email to Police Services Board (PSB) chairperson Chuck McLeod, Borton proposed the formation of the “Brighton Transportation Committee” to look into public concerns in regard to roadways, structure, signage, traffic volume, traffic flows, bike lanes, parking, sidewalks, construction zones and speed zones. “The committee will examine concerns and make recommendations to improve an overall strategy of trans-

portation for the future,” wrote Borton, who suggested the committee should be comprised of an OPP officer, a public works supervisor, a municipal representative, a PSB member and a member of the public. “This came to the Police Services Board because there have been issues raised time and time again,” explained municipal PSB representative Deputy Mayor Mike Vandertoorn. “We’ve been getting more and more delegations and correspondence at the board and this council in regard to traffic enforcement or speeding on different roads. I would like to refer it to staff and have them bring back a report because it may be something they have a lot of interest in as well.”

Nelson Mandela: Peace at last Editorial - The Catholic Church consecrates saints with less pomp and sentimentality than was lavished on Nelson Mandela during the week-long media orgy that we have just been through. We haven’t seen such a ridiculous spectacle since...oh, since the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy three weeks ago. But at least the Kennedy orgy was over a lot faster – and nobody compared him to Gandhi or Christ. Pity the poor journalists who had to grind out endless stories about what was hardly a news event at all – 95-year-old man dies after lengthy illness – and inevitably endGwynne Dyer ed up sounding like sycophants and fools. True, the world needed (or at least wanted) a political icon of perfect virtue, but the beatification of Nelson Mandela took much too long. The problem was that everybody in the media knew well in advance that Mandela was dying, and had time to invest millions in preparing to “cover” the event. Hotel rooms and telecom facilities were booked, crews and anchors were deployed, and the expense had to be justified by round-the-clock, wall-to-wall coverage of funeral orations, vox pop interviews, and talking heads. And of course all the world’s politicians showed up for the greatest photo op of the decade, including many who had condemned Mandela as a terrorist before he pulled off a peaceful transition from apartheid to majority rule in South Africa. But now that the babble of rhetoric has died down and just before the myth was takes over completely, let us talk honestly about who he was and what he accomplished. Mandela understood that South Africans needed an icon, not a mere mortal man, as the founding hero of their new democracy, but he had a strong sense of irony. It would have got plenty of exercise as he watched the local politicos and the foreign dignitaries strew metaphorical flowers on his grave. The man whom they buried at Qunu on Sunday was arrested by the white minority regime in 1963, probably on a tip from the US Central Intelligence Agency. He was the head of the African National Congress’s military wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), at the time, and continued to back its campaign of sabotage, bombing and attacks on military and police targets throughout his 27 years in prison. If the South African Communist Party is to be be-
lieved, he was a member of its central committee at the time of his arrest. It was a different time, when US President Ronald Reagan could declare that the apartheid regime was “essential to the Free World,” and the ANC’s main international supporters were the Soviet Union and Cuba. Mandela might have ended up as a man of violence if he had not gone to prison. Instead, in prison, he had the time to develop his ideas about reconciliation and persuade the other ANC leaders who were also confined to Robben Island of their value. By the time he came out of prison in 1990, he had become the man that everybody knew they could trust – including the whites. During the next four years, when he and F.W. De Klerk, the last white president, negotiated the transfer of power from the white minority to the black majority, he really was the indispensable man. His commitment to reconciliation was so visible and genuine that whites were willing to do what had once seemed inconceivable: to hand over power before they absolutely had to. If you want to know what South Africa would have looked like if the whites had clung to power down to the last ditch, look at Syria today. But it was not only Mandela who saved the country from that fate: they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to both Mandela and De Klerk, because the miracle could not have happened if De Klerk had not had the will and the skill to lead his own Afrikaner tribe out of power. Then, after the first free election in 1994, Mandela became the president, and frankly he wasn’t very good at it. He had no executive experience, nor much aptitude for it. Thabo Mbeki did most of the hard administrative work behind the scenes during Mandela’s presidency (1994-1999), while Mandela greeted visiting celebrities, hobnobbed with the rich and famous, and solicited donations for various causes that included, unfortunately, his own extensive family. He was not personally corrupt, but he was involved in a few dubious deals, and he tolerated corruption in others. But he did his country one last big favour: he retired at the end of his first term rather than clinging to power. He was already 81 years old at that time, but lesser men (Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, for instance) have not let that stop them. And he even had a few good years left to enjoy his family before age began to drag him down. He was not a saint; he was just a man. But he was the right man at the right time.

Get ‘er done By Terry Bush
Editorial - Well, get ‘er done week has rolled around for another year. This is the week when we have to do two sets of papers in the same week because of the way the holidays fall. So here I am on Thursday night, shamelessly trying to fill the hole on the editorial page for the paper we’re putting out tomorrow that comes out on December 26. On the 27th we’ll put out the paper that comes out on January 2. Confusing to say the least. But, then again I’ve been confused most of today anyway as my brain still hasn’t recovered from the root canal (and its accompanying nitrous oxide) I had done at the endodondist’s yesterday. This visit to the dentist was irritating in more ways than one because I’d already had a root canal done on the same tooth a few years back. Apparently I have long, curvy roots which isn’t a good thing in a tooth but something I’ve always been fond of when it comes to members of the opposite sex. For someone who’s been told he has very good teeth for as long as I can remember, I seem to be having a lot of trouble these past few years. Some of my problems are admittedly due to the aging process. How else would you explain breaking a tooth on mashed potatoes at a wedding reception? The old molars just aren’t what they used to be but apart from the odd piece falling off around a 40-year-old filling, I’ve been lucky. But for some reason, since I was finally able to buy my way into a family benefit package at work a couple of years back, my teeth seem to have gone to hell... with my benefits maxed out every year. This last root canal apparently didn’t go far enough into the bottom of the root to be totally effective. Too bad because that sucker cost somewhere in the range of $750 as I remember, prebenefits. To fix it has cost $2,300 to date and I still need a permanent filling and crown and my benefits only cover $1,500 worth of dentistry per year. The most troubling part of all this is my soon to be $4,000 tooth is at the back of my mouth where nobody can see it. For four grand, I want that thing in gold, front and centre just a gleaming whenever I flash the ivories. I wanna be Gangsta. My wife on the other hand has one yearly check up, no work done on her teeth and a couple of cleanings per year (nowhere close to the maximum) so I’m now throwing around the idea that bigamy might be a good option to make sure I get my money’s worth. Do you ever wonder if your pets understand a lot more than they let on? It’s Christmas card season and with it comes those annoying Christmas letters. You know the ones where people prattle on about what they and their loved ones did for the year. Sometimes these letters even include visits to your home, just in case you forgot you had company. Mare and I received a couple of letters from the usual suspects and Mare, who never has a bad word to say about anyone, just kind of sighed when she opened the last one and said something to the effect that she thought the letter writer, who shall remain nameless, was just trying to make up for the fact that he doesn’t do a great job keeping in touch the rest of the year. I always find it peculiar that the people who write these letters usually refer to themselves in the third person. “Doug had a very good year this year and was the lead in the community play among other things. He is also enjoying his parttime job driving a school bus.” This makes Terry wonder if perhaps Doug uses a ghost writer each year or has a twin brother also named Doug. Our dog Silly, who came with the misnomer Lily when we got her is usually underfoot and must have overheard us commenting on the photocopied, impersonal missive. We call her Silly because, well, she is. How else would you explain a dog who twirls in circles perfectly synchronized with the spoon you’re using to mix the dog food in her bowl. Anyway, when I got home and opened the door tonight, there was the offending letter shredded into probably a hundred, tiny, little pieces spread across the living room floor. Where she got it, I have no idea but I must admit I thoroughly enjoyed her critique. Hopefully she’s on the mailing list next year as well.

The spirit of giving is alive and well at ENSS Photos: Ray Yurkowski By Ray Yurkowski
Entertainment - Brighton – The theme for this year’s annual Christmas assembly at East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) last week was ‘giving,’ and there were reminders of that spirit throughout the two-hour production, which featured skits, music and a footrace between male teachers in high heels. Students get involved at ENSS, in a number of ways. After 31 years of involvement with the Terry Fox campaign, the school is consistently one of the top ten fundraising schools in the country. With the announcement that almost $41,000 was raised this year, that reputation remains solidly intact. As well, ENSS students adopted an impressive 76 children through the Quinte Adopt-A-Child program. Special guest at the assembly was Abby Pemberton, who donated money collected instead of gifts at her seventh birthday celebration to adopt two What would a Christmas celebration be without an animated blue dragon from the art club? children through the program.

Public budget meeting a little challenging
By Ray Yurkowski
News - Brighton – Things got off to a rocky start last week at the first public meeting of the 2014 municipal budget process. Some of the about 30 residents who showed up were disappointed in the format for the evening: an informal consultation with councillors and the municipal management team. The problem with the process this time around, explained Deputy Mayor Mike Vandertoorn, who acted as chairperson for the meeting, is the recent departure of financial director Linda Widdifield, who is on medical leave effective December 10. “Typically, she would provide a complete overview outlining the budget and illustrating our operating and capital budgets in detail along with challenges, opportunities and associated risks,” he said. “The first draft budget document was never intended as a recommenda-
tion but, rather, simply a summary of operational and capital needs.” And there are some “unwelcome challenges,” added Vandertoorn. The Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund, the main provincial transfer payment to municipalities, is in the second year of a four-year cutback plan. Along with the Ontario Provincial Police contract, which sees an 8.5 per cent increase over last year, the negative impact on the municipal budget amounts to $225,000 and represents an increase of almost four per cent in operating expenditures. At the regular council meeting on December 16, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Gayle Frost reported Widdifield’s absence. “She provided a sense that she would be away for an extended period of time,” Frost told council. “The loss of this key member of our management team has come at a critical time for the munici-
pality as we are dealing with the year end; the preparation of the 2014 budget; the 2013 audit; the RFP (request for proposal) for the development charges study has gone out and that must be completed by late summer; and we will be preparing our interim tax billing in the new year.” “It’s significant,” added Frost. “Council will have to decide how to deal with this void in the administration.” Frost recommended “trying, as best we can, utilizing the resources we have to get through to the year end and reassess the situation early in the new year. Council will have to realize, the completion of many key projects, including the budget, will be set back as a result of this regrettable action.” Given the open, informal format for the public meeting, Councillor Mary Tadman said she was “totally confused.”
“Why are we even bothering with tomorrow night then,” she asked. “It has been advertised and there is an expectation for the public to come out,” explained Mayor Mark Walas. A motion to accept Frost’s report and go ahead with the open format meeting the following night was approved by a 6-1 vote with only Tadman opposed. At the public meeting on December 17, when Vandertoorn announced the change in format, Brighton resident Greg Smith was “very disappointed.” “As a newcomer to Brighton, I’d like to hear what people have to say and what their concerns are,” he said. “Under this format, I have no idea what questions are being asked and I have no idea what the answers are. This is not a meet-andgreet, this is the budget; the nitty gritty of municipal politics. I came here to find out what the general public thinks and I feel I’ve been shut out of that.”
But after meeting and talking to the CAO and a few councillors throughout the evening, Smith softened his stand, allowing that he did “get some good information.” “As rocky as it started, I think it turned out to be pretty successful,” said Vandertoorn, at the end of the meeting. Councillor Craig Kerr agreed. “Initially there seemed to be a considerable amount of misinformation and misconception on the part of some residents but based on the later vigorous discussions, the evening seemed to be very successful,” he said. The public still has a chance to have their say. The Committee of the Whole is scheduled to discuss the second draft of the budget on January 22 with a statutory public meeting in mid-February before final recommendations are made to council for their approval.

Council tours new construction at the base
News - Quinte West – City councillors and staff were given a personal tour of new construction at the base on December 17. “Most of the buildings were originally built in the 1920s and 30s,” said Major Nelson, tour guide on the bus. He explained that more hangars were built in the 1940s, and a couple more in the 1950s and 60s but nothing new until now. “The current facilities could not hold the new C130-J or the C-17,” he said. The reconstruction at the base will amount to over $160 million to be completed over the next eight years. Nelson pointed out the new 11-bay fire hall built to accommodate the larger fire trucks. The $13 million facility will be complete next summer. He added that the location is better. No new fire fighters will need to be hired because
the same number will be needed on the larger vehicles. The bus went by some fuel tanks which will be augmented to fuel the C-17 by pumping fuel underground to the apron of the runway. There is also a de-icing ramp where glycol is stored in tanks. A C-17 was being de-iced as the bus drove by. Hangar 6 was under construction with several Hercules aircraft parked outside, waiting for the $76 million project to be completed. “It takes half the concrete in the CN Tower to build this hangar,” he said. Hangar One and Hangar 6 are designed to each hold two C-17s. “We can do all the maintenance in these hangars,” he said. “It will save us flying to the United States to get it done.” A tour of Hangar One was a trip to a state-of-the-art $90 million facility.
Hangar 6 is under construction to hold two more C-17 aircraft.
“You won’t find this anywhere else in the world,” said WO Smith. “This is the diamond. It is a wonderful facililty.” The building is ten stories high. With a C-17 in the bay there is still room to walk around. The design includes many environmentally friendly features including recycling wash water. The fire suppression system is an infrared heat sensor to protect the aircraft. “There is highly flammable fuel in the aircraft,” he pointed out. “There are sensors throughout the building. They will pick up the heat and sound an alarm, which starts sprinklers.” The huge hangar also had natural gas underground heated floors so that the building was never cold, even with the fabric aircraft doors opening. The C-17 is 53 metres wide and 51 metres long and needs to use three doors fully open to taxi in. MCpl Paul Guillemette showed the tour the paint booth and sandblasting rooms as well as a sewing room. Lieutenant Colonel Dany Breton, Wing Logistics and Engineering Officer, was along for the tour, explaining the details of each division. The visitors were allowed to walk through the various departments and ask questions, guided by the people in that area. One Bay had a new Hercules-J parked inside, still dripping with a few icicles. To tell this from the old Hercs, it was revealed you just had to note the pale gray colour of the aircraft as well

light. Next summer, everyone is invited onto the base for an Open House on May 31, June 1 celebrating the 90th anniversary of the RCAF. Finally, the bus pulled into the wash bay and everyone got out. The city has a deal with the base to bring their vehicles in to use the bay starting in the new year. Chris Angelo, director of Public Works, climbed the stairs and grabbed a hose. Mayor John Williams climbed up on the other side with LCol Breton and took another hose. They turned on the water and washed the bus. Only a few minutes in, somebody realized the hatch on top of the bus was open and they had to scramble to close it. Not quite soon enough. A few people had to ride back to the HQ on wet seats with water still coming from a dripping hatch. All part of the fun!

News - A new piece of legislation in the Ontario government is aiming to update a 30-year-old childcare act by introducing new oversight measures and increasing access to spaces with licensed providers. Family Space Quinte executive director Kelly Matheison says it’s a welcome change. Currently, the Day Nurseries Act of 1946 governs childcare in Ontario, a piece of legislation that has not had a comprehensive review since 1983. In an attempt to update the legislation, the Education Minister Liz Sandals earlier this month introduced the Child Care Modernization Act, which makes four key changes to the current system; providing the government with greater authority and enforcement tools to strengthen oversight and enhance safety; increasing access to spaces in licensed home child care settings; clarifying programs that do not require a license, and increasing focus on providing quality care. “Because the act was written in 1946, and since it hasn’t had any real revision since 1983, it’s time for a change,” Matheison said. “There are some wonderful informal care providers, and I’m not making a judgment in terms of quality, but it’s nice that the licensed sector is going to be treat-
ed the same way as the unlicensed sector.” Under the terms of the new legislation, the province would gain several new powers relating to childcare providers, including the ability to levy administrative penalties of up to $100,000 per infraction by a child care provider, increasing the maximum penalty for illegal offences under the proposed act from $2,000 to $250,000 and requiring all private schools that care for more than five children under the age of four to be licensed. However, as Matheison pointed out, the legislation isn’t meant to only crack down on unlicensed providers, as several provisions also provide benefits for those in the licensed sector. One of the biggest changes is the ability for licensed providers to now care for six children instead of five, a move that could create an additional 6,000 spaces for children across the province. The act also amends the Education Act to ensure school boards offer before and after-school programs for six to 12-year-olds where there is sufficient demand. “I think it will (push care providers to become licensed), because there are things we are able to offer from the licensed sector,” Matheison said. “This really helps
to level the playing field for the unlicensed sector so I’m very excited about it.” Family Space Quinte is a ministry-approved and licensed agency that provides childcare services to families primarily in the Belleville and Trenton areas. Matheison said the agency currently has 23 licensed childcare providers registered, and that she hopes that number will increase in the future. “The majority of children in the province of Ontario are actually in unregulated or unlicensed care environments,” she said. “I think in the past there have not been that many affordable licensed spaces that were available for families, and I think we can do a better job of educating families about what the licensed childcare provider can offer.” For more information on Family Space Quinte and the services they offer, visit www.familyspace. ca or call 613-966-9427. “If you’re wondering what to look for in quality childcare please come in or give us a call,” Matheison said. “We’ll be happy to talk to you about what you should be looking at for your child, because we really care about the families and we really care about the children and getting them the best possible care.”

LIFESTYLES
Ten things to do now that Christmas is past
The Good Earth: Lifestyles - 1. Don’t let down your guard about the tree and any other evergreens in your home. While it was pleasant to have the air in your domicile redolent with the malodorous stench of rotting tree carcasses, it would be much less pleasant to have it filled with wood smoke. 2. Set the tree in a spot in your yard where you might have been contemplating planting an evergreen. See if it “grows” on you. You might even hang a bit of suet for our feathered friends who don’t travel south. 3. Trim off the boughs and set them aside. Once the snow begins to melt in
late winter/early spring, you can lay them under shallow rooted plants such as rhododendrons and cedars or on top of perennial borders. This winter mulch will be appreciated by your plants, especially in March. 4. Make sure you get outside and enjoy our Canadian winter. Spectre, our German Shepherd from days gone by, and I would spend hours tromping through the back hills. Sox, who has gone from energetic puppy to senior citizen in a very short span, has about a 15 minute outdoor time limit. He does like to help shovel the driveway, catching mouthfuls of flung snow and carrying it over to the lawn.
Try some snowshoeing or cross-country skiing if ice-skating or downhill skiing presents challenges to you. 5. Check out the woody plants during your walks through town or countryside. Look for those that have unique characteristics. Bittersweet vine might only have a few bright orange/red berries on it in the wild, but with a backdrop of white and grey, a little goes a long way. Are there some plants with an interesting structure? The winged burning bush with its orange berries and snow-catching bark does present a pretty picture. Note how effective evergreens can be at this time of the year. Make some notes and try to incorporate what you see into your estate’s master design. 6. Consider enhancing your knowledge about gardening. Think about “higher” education and get some textbooks instead of the regular run-of-the-mill coffee table offerings. Many of the latter books are very good reads with lots of tid-bits, (I
like to think my book, The Good Earth, Reflections For Gentle Reader, is one of them) but at some point, the serious gardener needs to get down and dirty with the dusty tomes of science. 7. Consider becoming a Master Gardener. 8. Order all of the catalogues you can. You can spend many a cosy evening oohing and ahhing over colour-enhanced, impossible looking plants accompanied by prose so florid and exuberant that even a Victorian writer would blush with embarrassment. Order the most improbable one you can find. 9. Make a pledge to yourself to walk softly on this good earth. Begin with your own estate. Acknowledge that gardens are artificial constructs but that doesn’t mean we have to bludgeon the plants, the terrain and the environment to achieve the perfect garden. 10. As the door closes on 2013, with the shiny new doors of 2014 beckoning us forward, let’s take a moment to look back upon our year. This is the time for gentle smiles as we remember some of the people who shared our gardening time with us. Perhaps we said goodbye to some old friends who now walk with us in our memories. Think about creating a spot on your estate where you can sit and remember those times. Perhaps we have welcomed new members into

With warmest wishes to you and your family we thank you for dropping in!
Sheila Wray Gregoire Lifestyles - Church services this week were filled with readings of shepherds and angels and a little baby boy. We often picture that little baby like a child character on a soap opera. He’s a baby for two seasons, but the next year he miraculously returns as a twenty-something because it makes the plot better. We only have one little vignette from that two-thousand-year-old ba-
Dan Clost the family. Why not plant a tree and watch it grow along with them? 11. This is the one thing I will do and that is to thank the folks who make this column possible. To the folks at the EMC, and even Lewis who lurks in the background editing my already perfect prose, thank you for generosity and support. To Gentle Reader who loves to chat with me about my writing, occasionally a remonstration, thank you for the conversations. To the ladies in my life, my Mom, our daughters Robyn and Ellyn, and my beloved wife Betty, thank you for letting me be who I need to be...and still loving me. God Bless and Happy New Year to everyone.
Don’t let parents hurt their kids
by’s childhood, and it takes place when he’s twelve years old. The community had travelled to Jerusalem, and a whole day into their journey home Mary and Joseph realized that Jesus was missing. After a frantic search they locate him, teaching in the temple. Most of us would consider Mary and Joseph pretty good parents. Yet they didn’t think it was suspicious that they didn’t know where their preteen son was for 24 hours. They weren’t worried because the culture was different. The community together cared for the children. ’m a big believer in the rights and responsibilities of parents, and I love the nuclear family. But when the
nuclear family goes wrong, we don’t have a strong community to care for the kids. I have several friends who are foster parents, and because of that, I interact with foster children quite often. But of all the children that I have seen enter into foster care in the last decade and a half, and I have seen quite a few, I have also seen every child save one return to families where the Children’s Aid Society knows that there is abuse, but they can’t prove it. I have seen children who have permanent physical injuries because of parents’ neglect, return home. I have seen kids return home to parents who are alcoholics and Please see “Reality” on page 21

Health unit talks about stress and depression during holiday season Lifestyles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Campbellford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Happy holidays? For some local residents, this is no way to describe the true feelings they are contending with at this time of year. Stress and depression are what many individuals in the area are grappling with given the hectic pace and all the expectations that come with the holidays, warns the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are under tremendous pressure planning holiday parties, ďŹ tting in family gatherings, choosing
destroy you, your relationships and seriously affect the health of your loved ones,â&#x20AC;? states Anastasiou. The Health Unit suggests the following tips to keep stress and depression in check during the holidays: Set realistic expectations about what you can do in the holiday season, seek balance and try not to overdo it, most important learn to say no. If possible set aside difference with family and friends, if necessary limit the time spent socializing with loved ones if these situations make you feel anxious.
Acknowledge your feelings, it is normal to feel sadness and grief if you have recently lost a loved one or cannot be near family or friends this year and if you are feeling lonely or sad seek out community or social events that can offer you support and companionship. Make time for the most important people in your life, rather than just rushing around, take a break by planning outdoor winter activities with your children, plan a night with your partner by going out to the movies. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t abandon healthy habits over
the holidays, enjoy a holiday treat but remember to eat healthy, continue to get enough sleep and physical activity. Take time for yourself by recharging from all the holiday hustle and bustle, take a walk, listen to music or read a book. Seek professional help if you need it, if you are feeling down, overly stressed or unable to cope, consider speaking to your health care provider or a mental health professional. For more holiday coping tips contact the Health Unit or go to: www.hkpr.on.ca

on drug programs. I have seen kids who have been hurt by momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend go back home more times than I can count, because boyfriend has been removed from the home, even though mom only chooses abusers to date. I have seen kids who have been left alone for days at a time go back home. I have seen little tiny girls who have been sexually abused go back home, because no one can prove who did it (the little girls are just too young to tell them). Everybody knows these kids will come back into care, because the parents arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t safe. But there is not enough to put the children up for adoption yet. Any sane person looking at these kids would melt. They did not ask to be born to such lousy parents, yet our system doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give them a chance. We send them back into chaotic situations with no proper nutrition, no schedule, and especially no safety. And we do it because the threshold for proof of abuse is so high. If Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aid could build an airtight case when these children were under three, these kids could so easily be adopted and have a chance at a stable life. But Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aid canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build that case unless we become these childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communities. If you ever see a child being hit, call Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aid. If you know a child is being left alone while mom is out drinking, call Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aid, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just take care of that child yourself. If you ever suspect that a child is at risk, call. You may be the missing link. Recently I held a traumatized baby all through a church service. When she came into care she was trembling. She never cried; she just buried her head in your chest, her heart beating a mile a minute. Only if you squeezed her tightly would she begin to relax. After being in care she smiled. She laughed.

Sleeping out to bring awareness in
News - Belleville - For most people, sleeping outside during a cold January night might only make sense during an ice-fishing trip, but during the annual “Sleep Out! So Others Can Sleep In” event in Downtown Belleville next month, more than 100 people are expected to make camp at Market Square in a one-night fundraiser for the
Canadian Mental Health Association. “There are people who have been doing it for seven years and won’t miss it, and then there’s people who do it once and say, ‘I’ll donate to whoever just don’t ever ask me to do it again’,” laughed Sandie Sidsworth, the executive director for the CMHA, Hastings-Prince Edward. Taking place this year on January 31
2014, Sleep Out! is now entering its seventh year in Belleville, and raises funds annually to support the CMHA HPE’s three area transitional houses. While attendance has fluctuated over the years after less-than successful attempts to bring the event to Bancroft and Trenton in previous years, Sidsworth said 2014 could be the biggest year yet.
“There seems to be a real groundswell of support this year,” Sidsworth said. For those unfamiliar with the event, participants first gather pledges, and gather in Belleville’s Market Square beginning at 7 p.m. The catch is that everyone taking part is either asked to bring a cardboard box or is provided a cardboard box to sleep in for the night, which SIdsworth said is meant to

promote awareness of the conditions homeless people suffer in winter months. “There is some satisfaction at 5:30 in the morning, knowing that you’ve succeeded and spent the night, but on the flip side we never try to duplicate the experience of someone being homeless because we can’t,” Sidsworth said. “You create awareness of the barriers of even struggling through the cold and keeping warm that someone who is challenged in finding housing faces. We hope that it destigmatizes what people are facing with the understanding that it isn’t easy, and that it isn’t a cop-out. It’s not because people are lazy... people are in trouble, and it can sometimes lead to (homelessness).” Sidsworth said she was leery of setting a fundraising goal for the event, but that $10,000 would be an ideal amount to help pay for maintenance at the transitional homes. “$10,000 allows us to do a lot, and if we get any more in it allows us to do even more,” she said. “When a community comes together the way they do and everyone gives, you hate to say that something wasn’t raised, because then people see it as a failure, but it’s not.” St John’s Ambulance will also be on hand for the night, and Sidsworth said there’s a definite focus on safety of participants during the event. The event is strictly non-alcoholic. “We’re very aware we’re asking people to sleep out in January, and keeping people warm is never far from our mind the entire night,” she said.

Turkey hunter fined $4,000 News - A Bridgenorth man has been fined $4,000 for turkey hunting offences. Antonio Gouveia pleaded guilty to two counts of hunting turkey without a licence and was fined $1,500 for each count. In addition, he pleaded guilty to failing to immediately attach his seal to a turkey and failing to submit information relating to the kill by 12 noon on the day after the turkey was killed, as required. Gouveia received a $500 fine for each charge. The court heard that in October 2013, a Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officer investigated a complaint of Gouveia hunting turkeys without a licence. The investigation revealed that Gouveia hunted turkey on the opening day of turkey season in 2012 and that he purchased his licence after killing a turkey. In 2013, Gouveia harvested a turkey on the opening day of the season, but failed to attach his seal to the turkey and failed to report the harvest, as required. Gouveia shot a second turkey in the spring of 2013 without a licence. All three turkeys were killed in Selwyn Township, Peterborough County. Justice of the Peace Carl Young heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Peterborough, on December 12, 2013. For further information on hunting regulations, please consult the 2013-2014 Hunting Regulations Summary available at www.ontario.ca/hunting To report a natural resources violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll free any time or contact your local ministry office during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

A tasty option for Snowbirds: Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulf Coast By John M. SmithÂ
Seafood appetizers at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Hangoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.Â
Coast.  If you decide to check these out for yourself, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably not only encounter bottlenose dolphins but also such popular â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;neighbourhood residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as seagulls, osprey, great blue herons, brown pelicans, sea turtles, and alligators. Another highlight of my personal visit to Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulf Coast came while exploring the estuaries and backwaters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and learning about oystering, crabbing, and shrimping. At one point, our tour boat seemed to be escorted by a group A pound of Royal Red Shrimp at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;King of very playful dolphins, and our captain told us that these Neptuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. dolphins had â&#x20AC;&#x153;negotiated a deal, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working out because their lawyer was a sharkâ&#x20AC;? (ha! ha!). Yes, a little butter pie, and bread pudding with whiskey sauce. I also visited â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Luluâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, humour was also evident along the coast! If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a history buff, you may want to check out the owned by singer Jimmy Buffetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, grounds of nearby Fort Morgan, the site of a Civil War battle, where I tried her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cheeseburger in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Battle of Mobile Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which will commemorate its 150th Paradiseâ&#x20AC;?, for it was recently placed anniversary in 2014. You may also want to visit the historic on Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of â&#x20AC;&#x153;100 things to eat downtown of Foley (where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find several interesting before you dieâ&#x20AC;?. You may find Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulf antique shops â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the Alabama Railroad Museum, housed in a 1908 railroad station) and the Mayberry-like village of Coast to be a little more â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;laid backâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Magnolia Springs (which maintains an old fashioned way of but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much to see and do here â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a number of special events life by still having its mail service delivered by boat). One particularly important â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;must doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; here is to check scheduled throughout the year, too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; out some of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful seafood restaurants. For including a â&#x20AC;&#x153;BBQ & Blues Cook-off example, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d recommend a visit to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;King Neptuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for some next March (the 15th) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and several ball Spanish moss along Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paved Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail. Royal Red Shrimp, coconut shrimp, and fried cheesecake, tournaments. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cosmoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (for sushi), and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Hangoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (for its lively, family-friendly atmosphere, live music, shaka-shaka shrimp, and awesome seafood towers that include tiered heaps of both lobster and crab). Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also recommend trying some oysters â&#x20AC;&#x201C;either â&#x20AC;&#x153;fried, stewed, or nudeâ&#x20AC;? (raw) - at such establishments as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wintzellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oyster Houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tip PATIO DOORS DOORSâ&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ENTRY ENTRYDOORS DOORS PATIO Top Restaurant and Oyster Barâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, or the TRUSS & FLOOR â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Original Oyster Houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. I also tried Trenton For Professional, Friendly Service, Contact For Professional, Friendly Service, such other local tasty options as fried Glass & Windows Ltd.

Lifestyles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Just west of Pensacola, Florida, I explored Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulf Coast â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d definitely recommend â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;snowbirdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to check it out on your next visit to the sunny south. It would make a nice add-on to that winter getaway in Florida â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or it might even become a new vacation destination of choice. After all, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still find luring white sand beaches (though less crowded), enticing shorebird viewing, wonderful cycling and hiking trails, championship golf courses, a variety of accommodations, and a great number of delectable seafood restaurants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and perhaps at an even more reasonable price. I stayed at a condo on the beach (through Sunset Properties), located on the tip of the Gulf Shores Peninsula. I could simply walk through the sand dunes and along the shoreline. Apparently Sunset Properties is the only on-site vacation rental and sales agency of the Dunes Community thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s located in Fort Morgan, Alabama, but I discovered that there are many accommodation options along Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulf Shores â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from private beach houses and condos to hotels, B&Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and campgrounds. Therefore, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite a variety of prices, too. There are even â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snowbird Vacation Packagesâ&#x20AC;? offered. For package deals, check out www.gulfshores.com. While I was in this relaxing, relatively quiet area, I not only enjoyed time on the beach, for I also checked out some of its most amazing parks and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;green spacesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, including a hike on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pine Beach Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge (where I saw a baby alligator) and a stroll along an elevated boardwalk at the Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research and Education Centre (with its 6,000 acres of coastal habitats and wetlands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a protected estuary). I even took a golf cart tour on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Gulf State Park (a 20-kilometre paved trail that can also be biked). I learned that this Gulf Coast area is also a birdwatchersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; paradise, for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the flyway of millions of spring and autumn migrants. I also found wonderful opportunities for nature cruises (with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sailaway Chartersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;), dolphin watching (with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cetacean Dolphin Cruisesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;), and kayaking adventures (with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Farhope Boat Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) along Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulf

Natural burial grounds at Warkworth cemetery an option for the future News – Trent Hills – There are no immediate plans for adding natural burial grounds at the Warkworth Cemetery but council hasn’t ruled that out as an option in the next five to 10 years. It also gave staff the green light to look at other options in the next phase of development at the cemetery, including columbariums (a storage area for urns containing cremated remains), scattering grounds, and cremation lots. Deputy clerk Shari Lang recommended this course of action rather than do nothing at this time or proceed with a natural burial ground. The cost of interment has increased by 65 to 70 per cent, she said, so the municipality should look at all options for making better use of unused land in the cemetery. Councillor Gene Brahaney wasn’t in favour. “We’ve got enough cemeteries that we’re going to look after in the future ... without starting down another avenue (with) something new and wonderful.” “Is it better ecologically to do it this way?” Councillor Kim McNeil asked. “I don’t know.” According to the Natural Burial Association, “bodies are not embalmed, but wrapped in a biodegradable shroud or placed in a simple casket in protected green space. It’s a way of combining an eco-friendly interment with land conservation.” Bodies, returned to the soil through decomposition “will help create new life,” as a habitat for wildlife and plants. But Mayor Hector Macmillan questioned how true this is. “I don’t see the long-term science
on this,” he said. “You know where those remains are going, they’re going directly into the water table, like everything else does ... When you start multiplying many natural burials in an concentrated area what is the ecoimpact of that, and would I want to live nearby one of these natural burial grounds with a well? “I don’t like the risk and that’s what it’s all about, the unknowns and the risk.”
BRING HOME A DEAL
He expressed hope that proponents of natural burials “would understand that we have concerns,” and in today’s world of protecting communities’ source water, “we absolutely have to be responsible.” In her report to council, Lang said Cobourg Union Cemetery, which has a natural burial ground, “would hesitate to do it again as there is more maintenance work than anticipated in keeping it green.”

Sports - Belleville - The Quinte Red Devils Minor Bantam team had a spirited comeback cut short on Thursday night at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre against the Kingston Frontenacs, and coach Jeff Broekema said it’s all about the kids learning to play together as a team. “They have to remember that it’s a team game, one guy doesn’t win it,” he said. “It’s not like atom where one guy can skate through everybody and score goals, you have to win together, and you lose as a team too, you learn from it.” Trailing 1-0 midway through

the first period after an early Kingston marker, both teams seemed to take a decidedly physical approach as the period went on, throwing big hits all over the ice and crashing into the boards with abandon. Quinte did well to pressure the Frontenacs net as the first period drew to a close, but were having trouble cracking the Kingston netminder, who made several key saves on quality Quinte chances to keep the lead at 1-0. Even a late Quinte powerplay proved fruitless, and the Red Devils headed to the locker room down 1-0 after the first period. Kingston came out firing in

the second period, applying huge pressure to the Red Devils net, but strong defensive play coupled with some solid saves from Quinte netminder Evan Morrison kept Quinte within striking distance, but they couldn’t hold out forever. On the tail end of a Frontenacs powerplay a seeing-eye shot from the point found the top corner of the Red Devils’ net to give Kingston a 2-0 lead. Things could have quickly gotten out of hand for the Red Devils trailing 2-0, but the team instead responded with some quality offensive presence of their own. After a strong skate down the wing by Zack Wheeler drew the defense in, Matt Sherwin was left alone in front to bury the puck past the Kingston netminder and draw Quinte within one, but the action didn’t stop there. After the Frontenacs again re-opened a two-goal advantage just minutes later, the Red Devils were back in front of the Kingston net, where Hunter Van Vlack made no mistake by putting the puck to his backhand and sweeping it in past the Kingston goalie. Quinte almost made the score 3-3 when Liam Stultz’s shot rang off the post in the closing minutes, but that’s as close as the Red Devils would get. Quinte did well to dominate puck possession in the third period, but just couldn’t find the offensive spark it needed, and lost by a final score of 5-2 after an empty-net goal. The loss snapped a nine-game regular season winning streak.

Bulls head to holidays on high note Sports - The Belleville Bulls may sit in last place in the OHL standings heading into the Christmas holidays, but head coach and general manager George Burnett said he’s not ready to throw in the towel just yet. “The quick answer is, everybody would be disappointed with our record,” Burnett said when asked how he would

cording four goals and six assists in 13 games with Owen Sound earlier in the year. Brace had 35 goals and 74 points in 66 games with the Attack last year. “I stay away from (setting personal goals),” Brace said. “I just try and play day-to-day and try to lead by example, work hard every day whether it’s in the weight room or if it’s on the ice.” After starting the season with a 6-182-2 record through 28 games, the Bulls have played .500 hockey in the month of December and are getting contributions from veterans, rookies and new acquisitions alike. Defenceman Jordan Subban said it hasn’t always been easy to adjust to a constantly changing roster, but added that he’s ready to lead by example and help the younger players progress as much as possible. Belleville’s Stephen Harper fires a hard pass during the Bulls 4 -1 win over the Plymouth Whalers on “It’s been difficult. It’s not exactly December 18. Photo: Steve Jessel where we expected to be but we have a really young team and they’re still learning,” Subban said. “I think you saw it early, we had a lot of turnovers and a lot of things weren’t going right.

sum up the first half of the season. “But it’s a process, and we’re going through a lot of changes here... I feel pretty confident that we’re going to be a better team in the second half and climb into this playoff race, which is important for our development.” The Bulls played their final game before the Christmas holidays on December 18, hosting the Plymouth Whalers in a match up at the Yardmen Arena, and looking at the scoresheet after the game any fan of the 2012 Bulls squad would likely be pretty confused. Gone are names like Gaunce and Zharkov, and in their place are names like Cameron Brace, acquired from the Owen Sound Attack in late October, and Remi Elie, acquired from the London Knights also in October. Combined the two players have played just 40 games in Bulls’ uniforms, but against the Whalers the pair were arguably the teams best players, Brace recording a pair of goals and Elie with a goal and an assist. “It was tough at the start (coming to Belleville,) the rink is way bigger than Owen Sound,” Brace said. “It’s been exciting and I feel like I’m beginning to gel with my team mates.” Bulls forward Scott Simmonds carries the puck up Brace now has eight goals and six asice against the Plymouth Whalers December 18. sists in 13 games with the Bulls, after reBy Steve Jessel

Toy drive donors exhibit spirit of Christmas in Trent Hills By John Campbell
News – Trent Hills – Charlotte Francis won’t have to worry about Santa not showing up at her home in Wooler on Christmas Eve. She made it on his Nice list by donating presents she received at her birthday party Nov. 1 to this year’s toy drive by the Trent Hills Fire Department and Community Living Campbellford/Brighton. She already has toys “and I don’t need that many,” Charlotte said last week at the Campbellford fire hall, where an upstairs room was filled with clothes, toys, games and other neat stuff. Minutes later a halfdozen teachers from St. Mary’s, Hillcrest and Kent elementary schools began filling Hillcrest Public School teachers Bev Nicholas and Jules Miles happily pick bags and boxes to take back to their schools out presents for 51 students at their school.

There’s no better way to spend Christmas, Bev Lang said. “It’s nice to make kids happy,
and Christmas is for kids, they should enjoy it. Nobody should do without, and we can help, so we help. We don’t need anything.” The donations were greatly appreciated by Fire Chief Tim Blake, who noted the amount of goods collected this season was “down a little bit (but) everything’s going to be fine.” The children won’t be disappointed, thanks in large part to a fundraiser organized by John McEvoy and Murray Kirkland for motorcycle owners, he said. Each school in Campbellford will be given $200 as well, and this year, for the first time, $150 will be donated to each public school in Warkworth and Hastings, said Blake, who hopes to get them and their communities involved in the toy drive next year. “It’s a great community event,” he said.

Charlotte’s generosity was inspired by a Grade 3 classmate at Murray Centennial Public School who asked guests to his birthday party in the summer to give donations to a program that enables children to play sports who wouldn’t have an opportunity otherwise. “We talked why that was a cool idea, (and) what she could do for her birthday,” Charlotte’s mom, Jessica, said. “She came up with the idea of collecting toys for a toy drive for kids who don’t get toys at Christmas.” About a dozen children attended the party and “they were very generous,” she said, bringing more than one gift, “and we put in some extra stuff, too.” The toy drive in Campbellford was chosen to receive the donations because Jessica went to school in town and her mother and sister still
