Immigrants celebrated during children’s holiday party

By Erin Stewart

Belleville - Quinte Immigration Services (QUIS) held its annual children’s holiday party to help integrate newcomers, with a focus on the children, into the community at Belleville’s Eastminster United Church on Friday Dec. 4.

“This year is special because we are celebrating the arrival of the Syrian refugee families,” said Orlando Ferro, executive director of QUIS. “The outpouring from the community has been outstanding.”

The evening, sponsored by Quintessential Credit Union, was filled with entertainment and food. Children received presents from Santa, played games and made crafts, listened to music and watched Centennial Secondary School students perform a play for them.

Isabel Cid immigrated to Belleville from Mexico City in 2003 and received help integrating into the community from QUIS. “I moved here and I didn’t know anybody, I was depressed.” Cid said.

“But then they (QUIS) asked me if I wanted to get involved and I started working as a receptionist for them.”

Cid said getting involved helped her to feel good about living in a new community and gave her an insight into how many people QUIS helped everyday and through their special events.

“I think it’s really important for evCinthia Borquez colours with daughter Alia during QUIS’ children’s holiday party at the Eastminster United Church in Belleville on Friday Dec. 4. erybody to know there’s people with similar situations because a lot of Photo by Erin Stewart.

people don’t know there are people from their cultures living here,” Cid said. “I’m very grateful they do this every year.”

Cesar Borquez immigrated to Canada from Chile in 1992 and came to the children’s holiday party with his fiancé and young daughter.

“I love it, we’ve already met a lot of other Spanish people that we are probably going to keep in contact with,” he said. “It’s good to meet other cultures as well, we enjoy it.”

Borquez said QUIS has been a tremendous help to him and his family.

“They’re helping me sponsor my mom at the moment and my little brother in Chile,” he said. “If it wasn’t for them I think I would still be way behind in paperwork, they’ve helped me a lot with everything, they’re awesome.”

Alan Kechichian, owner of Essenzia Eyeware in downtown Belleville, attended the children’s holiday party.

Kechichian immigrated to Canada from Lebanon in 1991 and said he is going to volunteer with QUIS to help interpret Arabic when Syrian refugee families come to the community.

“I think I can really contribute in that area,” he said. “I’m very excited, I’m going to feel more complete as a human doing this.”

Kechichian said he is grateful for the work QUIS does and is proud to call Canada home.

“Canada is one of the best countries in the world… the nicest people on the planet,” Kechichian said. “I believe we can be an example to others.”

Refugee sponsorships flourishing; here’s how

By Erin Stewart

Quinte West for Refugees committee members held a meeting to discuss fundraising efforts and plans on Wednesday Dec. 2.

support the family for a year, once they raise $35,000 they want to move forward and sponsor another refugee family. Donations can be sent to St. Thomas Anglican Church, 201 Church St, Belleville On, K8N 5P2, with cheques made out to Refugee Sponsorship/St. Thomas Anglican Church. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, email selina.harley@bell.net.

The Brighton Refugee Immigration Needs Group is hoping to sponsor two refugee families. This group had their first meeting in Oct. and with 61 people present, the group pledged a total of $26,000 at the first meeting.

The Brighton group also received an anonymous pledge of $27,000. With a total of $61,000 currently pledged, the group has not collected any money yet because they are waiting on the Brighton City Council to approve the city R0013588504

With 10,000 refugees coming to Canada by the end of 2015, communities across the nation are preparing to host and support newcomers and the Bay of Quinte region and Northumberland are no exceptions.

Northumberland and the Quinte region have many groups and committees that have sponsored or are in the process of privately sponsoring numerous refugee families across the region. A couple families have already arrived, many are in the process of waiting for their flights to be scheduled and other sponsorship groups need to raise more money.

The Tweed Refugee Sponsorship Committee is raising money to sponsor a refugee family of four. The committee has raised $4,000 and is aiming to raise between $14,000 and $20,000 to support the family, with government assistance on a blended visa, for one year.

When the committee has raised around $9,000 they will be able to apply for a family. They are accepting donations through St. John’s United Church in Tweed. If you would like to donate, you can mail cash or cheques to the committee, with the memo ‘Tweed Refugee Sponsorship’ on cheques. Receipts will be issued for donations above $20. Address: St. John’s United Church, 26 E Hungerford Rd. Tweed ON, K0K 3J0.

The Quinte Interfaith Refugee Sponsorship Committee is based out of St. Thomas Anglican Church in Belleville.

This committee has raised around $15,000 and have chosen to sponsor a refugee family from the Congo, a mother and her three children. Selina Harley, committee member, said the family now have their flight booked and will arrive in Canada on Dec. 15. The Interfaith committee is hoping to raise $35,000 to

issuing tax receipts for the community’s donations, a process that has now been delayed another three weeks by council until the Dec. 7, council meeting. Hugh McDonald, chair of the group, said they have everything lined up, donations, housing, clothes, furniture, but are just waiting on council. If tax receipts are issued from the city, they will begin collecting donations and will be able to apply for two families with around five members in each family. With over 70 people volunteering for this group, they are prepared and ready to fundraise for their goal of $80,000. If you would like to donate or volunteer, you can email McDonald at hknamc@gmail.com.

Quinte West for Refugees is a group of volunteers from churches across Trenton aiming to sponsor a Christian refugee family. Pastor Luke Vanderkamp, of St. Andrews Presbytherian Church in Trenton, said they have decided to sponsor a Christian family because of what he learned through researching what is going on in Syria.

Vanderkamp said he realized there are 20 million refugees in the world and a number of minority groups, including Christians, are being persecuted within refugee camps. This group is aiming to sponsor a family with six to eight members and needs to raise $40,000. They have just started fundraising efforts and have raised

$7,500. If anyone wishes to donate, you can donate online through https://donate.mcccanada.ca/registry/ quinte-west-refugees. You can also drop-off or mail donations to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 16 Marmora St. Trenton, ON K8V 2H5, with the memo Quinte West Refugee Sponshorship ID#723020 on cheques.

The Trent Hills Community Initiative group has raised just over $12,000 between the 25 group members. The group is interested in sponsoring a family with four or five members and needs to raise $25,000 before they can submit their application to select a family. The group is in the process of making a fundraising strategy to present to the community. If you would like to donate or volunteer please send an email to warkworthrefugee@gmail.com.

Belleville’s Bridge Street Church, Eastminster United Church and St. Matthew’s United Church have raised $22,000 and hope to raise a total of $40,000 for the Syrian refugee family they have selected. These churches have selected a family of five; parents in their late 30’s with three sons ages 13, 11 and four. The 11-year-old son has health issues and will definitely spend some time at Toronto’s Sick Kids Hospital, which the churches have budgeted for. The family is expected to come to Belleville around Dec. 10 to Dec. 13.

They will arrive after spend-

ing two years in a Lebanon refugee camp.

If you would like to donate to this family, money or gift cards would be preferred at this time. Money or gift cards can be dropped off or sent to any of the three churches. Cheques can be made out to any of the three churches with the memo Refugee Sponsorship.

Addresses: Bridge Street Church, 60 Bridge St. E. Belleville ON, K8N 1L7.

Eastminster United Church, 432 Bridge St. E. Belleville ON, K8N 1R1.

St. Matthew’s United Church, 25 Holloway St. Belleville ON, K8P 1N8.

The New Canadians Centre (NCC) in Peterborough and Cobourg is working with an incredible 39 refugee sponsorship groups in their attachment area across Northumberland County, Haliburton, Kawartha Lakes, Peterborough City and County.

With 39 groups sponsoring families, the area is expecting around 200 privately sponsored refugees to come to the region and would like to host government sponsored refugees as well.

If you would like to donate to the NCC to help them provide their services or volunteer, you can go to www.

NCCpeterborough.ca or call 705-743-0882. If you would like to donate to one of the 39 sponsorship groups directly, you can contact NCC and they will provide you with that information.

Louise MacDonald - cornerstone of 8 Wing Officers’ Mess Ladies Club

By Ross Lees

R0013547389

CFB Trenton - “She came with the mess,” a colleague jokes in passing about Louise MacDonald, a member of the 8 Wing Officers’ Mess Ladies Club now looking to scale back her duties with the lone surviving Officers’ Mess Ladies Club in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

Usually the first face you see at any 8 Wing Officers’ Mess Ladies Club function, this energetic senior member of the club has served on the executive and at every level and now wants to relinquish most of those duties to do what she does best, welcome people to the club and make sure everybody

is enjoying themselves.

She semi-retired last June to avoid those twohour meetings, she noted.

“I just figured I’d reached an age where I should go and sit down before someone tells me to. I’m still doing odds and ends, I’m still doing stuff and I will be here for every function but I’ll be there just to make sure they’re doing it right,” she smiles.

Mrs. Macdonald has been a member of the club for 39 years, ever since she arrived in Trenton in 1976 after following her husband here, who arrived in 1975.

There have been a lot of changes in that time, she acknowledges, noting the world has changed and that mess life is not the same.

“But it’s still, for many

of us, pretty much a second home,” she said.

That’s not just propaganda from this lady with the biting wit and twinkling eyes. Many widowed members can now get their own memberships and attend mess functions instead of waiting to be invited.

“It very much is a second home for those of us who are alone now and that’s a good thing,” she added.

This club survived a time when memberships were falling and it was the same members coming out all the time, according to Mrs. MacDonald.

“There was a period when some of us were really feeling discouraged because we are the last surviving ladies club. We were getting discouraged because it looked like we were going down the tubes too, but then we got a couple of new young ones to come in as chair and assistant chair and they got things started and since then we’ve been doing really, really well,” she said.

Membership has climbed over the past two years into the 40 to 50 range, still a far cry from the days when membership was 100-plus, but still amazing at a time when all other clubs have disappeared.

According to Mrs. Macdonald, there are a couple of reasons for that success. Interesting and fun events have attracted new members, including events like on this evening when they are holding their hors-d’oeuvres night.

“We have really nice functions. Tonight’s going to be hoot. Everybody really likes this function and we’ll probably get a really good turnout.

We get a really good turnout for our dinners, as well,” she added.

Hard work and a willingness to get along has also made this club sustainable, she feels.

“We have rarely had a disruptive person on our committee. We worked well together. We argued things out but we all got along. We’ve always

It’s something she intends to make sure continues. She sees one of her duties as a person to make sure new members are

don’t know where anything is and that’s one of the things I watch for sitting here, is a face that I don’t know. I make sure she’s not left hanging out to dry somewhere.

“We had a young one came one time from Arkansas and they were still in a motel and that took some courage. She left that motel and she walked in her one night all by herself in a foreign country. She was really great! But you do need to watch that when a new one comes in, you do need to make sure she’s looked after,” said this experienced receptionist.

Her semi-retirement from the club has nothing to do with dissatisfaction, but more from weary

bones seeking some rest.

“You have no idea how hard these ladies work to decorate this mess. They do two days and they go crawling out of here on all fours,” she added in all seriousness.

She has never had any regrets about joining the club and being an active member and supporter of the club.

“I have enjoyed all the meetings that I complained about and all the rest of it. It’s been a good thing for me,” she added.

As the meeting begins to get busy, she is more and more interrupted to do the kind of thing she has happily done for years – sign people in and keep them on the right track.

“I’m more or less retired,” she now modifies her statement. “They’re use to me sitting at this table. I’m probably going to stay here until they cart me away. I’m so grateful for our committee. They are just a really great bunch of people!”

Yes, she probably did come with the mess and she’ll probably still be there when the mess finally closes its doors, but as long as she’s there, the 8 Wing Officers’ Mess Ladies Club will look after its own and enjoy the process.

OPINION

Obama and San Bernardino

On Sunday, President Barack Obama spoke about a mass shooting in the United States for the 17h time in the past seven years. (There have actually been 335 mass shootings in the United States already this year, but he only does the big ones.) But this time Obama spoke the Oval Office.

Gwynne Dyer from He’s only done that twice before, about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the end of combat operations in Iraq, both in 2010. The shooting in California killed 14 people and wounded 21, so it wasn’t even the biggest mass killing of his administration, but it got special treatment because it was a terrorist attack.

He needed to do that because you just have to say the word “terrorist” to send many Americans into a flat panic, and many American politicians into spasms of oratory overkill. A representative example was New Jersey Governor and would-be Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie, who said: “We need to come to grips with the idea that we are in the midst of the next world war.”

The next world war? The last world war killed at least 40 million people. The next one – the Third World War that we were waiting for when I was growing up – would have killed hundreds of millions, even if it didn’t cause a nuclear winter and kill billions. With due respect to the victims, the 16 dead in San Bernardino do not add up to a new world war.

Neither do the 130 French (and a few foreigners) killed with guns and suicide bombs in Paris last month, nor the 224 Russians on the plane brought down over Egypt by a bomb at the end of October. Even in Europe, Islamist terrorism kills at the most hundreds per year; in America, it kills almost nobody.

Before this week, only 16 Americans had been killed on home soil by Islamist terrorists in the past 14 years (13 soldiers killed by US Army psychiatrist Nidal Malik Hasan at Fort Hood, Texas in 2009, and three killed at the Boston Marathon in 2013). That’s an average (includ-

ing the San Bernardino deaths) of two people per year killed in the United States by Muslim terrorists.

So why didn’t Barack Obama finish his speech by pointing out that Americans are 170 times more likely to drown in the bath than to be killed

by Islamist terrorists? Because no public figure in the United States is allowed to say that the terrorist threat is very small in the West generally, and utterly minuscule if you actually live in the United States.

On the one hand, we have a trillion-dollar “war on terror” defended by a US military and security establishment that has grown fat on the proceeds. On the other hand, we have a very small terrorist threat to the “homeland” against which, for the most part, that establishment’s efforts are irrelevant because the attackers are homegrown, self-radicalized lone wolves.

None of the three “Islamist” attacks over the past 14 years was planned from abroad. All were carried out by US citizens or permanent residents. None of those people, so far as is known, was even in contact with organizations like alQaeda or Islamic State (although Tashfeen Malik pledged her allegiance to the latter on her Facebook page on her way to the massacre at the Inland Regional Centre in San Bernardino).

The Islamist extremists pose an existential threat to Syria and Iraq. They are a serious threat to the other Arab countries, and a rather more distant problem for other Muslim countries. For Western, Asian and African countries that do not have large Muslim populations, they are merely a strategic nuisance.

If any of those outside powers want to fight the Islamists on home ground (like the NATO countries and Russia, who are all now bombing Islamic State targets in Syria), then by all means do so. You might save the Syrians from a very unpleasant fate. But don’t imagine that this is necessary for your own defence.

Conversely, don’t worry that the bombing will cause terrorist attacks on you at home. Those attacks will happen no matter what the United States (to pick an example at random) is doing or not doing abroad. And a country that can blithely ignore 63 shooting attacks in its schools since the beginning of this year can manage to live with a small Islamist attack every few years too.

Refugee sponsorship movement gaining steam Editorial - By Chris Malette Pardon us if we visit here in the editorial space a theme which to some may be a recurring annoyance, but to most others is a topic that cannot get enough discourse in the weeks and months ahead.

We’re speaking, again here, about the issue of inviting and settling refugees in the region. The topic is once again in headlines in these pages and the movement of church groups - Christian church groups - garnering support from congregations and communities to raise money and to provide accommodations for sponsorships of families is growing each week.

As we outlined in a story this week, there are no fewer than seven – seven! – church and interfaith groups working to bring Syrian refugee families to the area.

It seems the images of the sprawling refugee camps in countries surrounding Syria, the images of desperate families overloading boats to reach the shores of Greece and the grim but steady march of refugees across Europe are finally striking a sonorous note among Canadians.

But, while many, unfortunately, will align with the message of hate and intolerance spawned by acts of domestic terrorism - influenced by radical Muslim extremists in the region from which the refugees flee, thousands more of us understand this is precisely what the likes of ISIS wants the West to feel. It is specifically painting the vengeful attacks as something we should fear and to turn our backs on those fleeing the war ravaged country of Syria in an effort to fan the flames of a global religious war of the West versus the Muslim world.

Fortunately, most rational and compassionate among us aren’t buying it.

One man who knows of what he speaks last week told the Toronto Star we should actually be doing more to open our doors to more refugees, not fewer.

According to the Star, Ron Atkey believes the 25,000 Syrians Ottawa is promising to re-settle initially is a “noble objective” but he wants Canada to up the ante.

“If Canada can do another 25,000 — that would make a significant contribution in line with Canada’s contribution with the Vietnamese boat people in 1979 to 1980. It will

demonstrate to the Americans that they have to do more. We’ll shame them into it, similarly the Australians,” says Atkey, who was immigration minister in the Joe Clark government in 1979 when 50,000 Vietnamese refugees were granted asylum in Canada. By the end of 1980, that number had risen to 60,000.

“For us to take a dramatic position on the world stage is important. We won a medal from the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights. We gained a lot of prestige as a humanitarian country. I think that’s consistent with Canadian tradition.”

Atkey, who is also a lawyer, professor and national security expert, is chair of Humanity Wins, a group of prominent Canadians who came together earlier this year to advocate for re-settlement of Syrian refugees to Canada.

Like many, he has been appalled by what has been described as the worst humanitarian crisis since the Second World War — with more than 4 million Syrians fleeing violence in their homeland and seeking refuge in Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey. Another 7 million Syrians have been displaced internally.

Today, in places like Tweed, Trenton, Belleville, Brighton and other towns and villages throughout the region, there are plans to bring hundreds of refugees, in families, to the region and to help them settle.

It’s that kind of grassroots charity that most reflects our Canadian values - not the isolationist hate speech we’re hearing from American politicians and wold-be politicians (Hello Donald Trump!).

Our cultural mosaic can only be enriched by the welcoming of Syrian refugees into our communities. We are a nation built on waves of migrations of people fleeing countries of conflict and poverty for our land of promise and a society that rewards those with initiative and a willingness to establish as hard-working, community-minded people, in turn.

Think the Irish, the Greeks, the Vietnamese, the Poles and Hungarians, Ukranians and others.

Now think Syrians and open our hearts and our doors.

It’s time.

St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hosts Canadian film festival

Devon Brown, Grade 11, asks a question to hockey expert Dan Diamond via Skype after St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Secondary School students viewed the Canadian hockey film The Rocket during their Canadian Film Festival on Thursday Dec. 3. Photo by Erin Stewart.

By Erin Stewart Trenton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Secondary School hosted a Canadian Film Festival in their gymnasium thanks to Reel Canada on Thursday Dec. 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was great, I liked the movie, it was really good and really exciting,â&#x20AC;? said Devon Brown, Grade 11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that this should be a tradition, almost everyother year for our school.â&#x20AC;?

Jed Devinishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grade 11 English class learned about Reel Canada, an organization that brings Canadian Films to venues across the country, at the beginning of the school year. The class received approval for the event and narrowed down the movie choices for the entire student body to vote for the top two films.

Students chose The Grand Seduction, a comedy that takes place on Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s East Coast, and The Rocket, the story of Canadian hockey legend Maurice Richard.

Not only did students watch films, they also got to ask questions after The Rocket via Skype with hockey expert Dan Diamond, an aspect Brown really enjoyed.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea of having an expert there to talk about a movie we just watched is really cool, for me thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good experience.â&#x20AC;?

Devinish said his students were really enthusiastic about hosting the festival, preparing posters, decorating, setting up chairs and holding the doors during the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really taken ownership of the event, which is what you want to see with your students,â&#x20AC;? Devinish said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadian films are really important, they were shocked when they looked through the catalogues and saw how many great Canadian films there are.â&#x20AC;?

Devinish said he is really thankful for organizations like Reel Canada for bringing special experiences to students across the country.

Reel Canada started in 2005 as a way to bring Canadian films to students across Canada. The organization has grown and now screens films for people in English as a Second Language courses across the country and started a National Canadian Film Day for the communities to screen films across Canada.

If you would like to display art in your business, have an idea for Arts Quinte West or would like to find out all of the locations for the community showcase, you can go to artsquintewest.ca.

Trenton - Arts Quinte West is looking for new ways and more venues across the community to showcase local artists’ work.

The community showcase program has been in the community for many years and has allowed Arts Quinte West to showcase local pieces of art in local businesses, the Trent Port Marina, Frankford Municipal Office, the Quinte West Library and the Mayor’s office.

“We have to bring the art to where the people are,” said acting president of Arts Quinte West, Suzanne Andrews. “It’s really difficult these days, with so much going on and everyone is so busy, to get people to come to an art show or see the art as a stand-alone event.”

Art displays are changed every two to three months and can include a number of different creative avenues like writing, photographs, sculptures and 3D art.

“We’ve had a lot of success, one of our members actually sold three pieces of art from our community showcase so that’s really exciting,” Andrews said.

for possible new locations. A major concern with the current location is the lack of space.

Some of the concerns include a high level of congestion of equipment, the aerial truck too large to fit on the driveway pad and no space to set up tables and chairs for classroom style training or to conduct meetings. The foundation of the building is slowly sinking, there are ongoing plumbing/drainage issues, accessibility issues, insufficient change rooms, washrooms and a lack of female shower facilities.

Inch re-elected chair for public school board, Kyle as vice chair

Stirling-Rawdon receives donation of new ATV from Belleville Sport and Lawn Centre

Dwayne Inch was re-elected as chair of the public Lucille Kyle was re-elected as vice-chair of the school board. Submitted photo public school board. Submitted photo

Trustee Dwayne Inch was reelected as chair of the Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board and Lucille Kyle was reelected as vice-chair of the board at the annual public board meeting held Monday, December 7 at the Belleville board office. The chair and vice-chair are elected annually each December.

Inch expressed appreciation to fellow board members for placing their trust in him again.

“It is an honour to be chosen to lead the board for another year,” he said. “Serving students through public education is our core business. Our focus is on fulfilling our vision to prepare and empower all students for the possibilities of today and tomorrow.”

Kyle, upon being elected as vicechair, remarked on learning together and engaging with students.

“It is incredible to be part of such a vibrant learning organization 12

which is so focused on students,” Kyle said. “Over the past year I have had a huge learning curve and have appreciated the support from other board members, employees and the community.”

Inch was first elected to the Board in December 2006 and was acclaimed as a school board trustee in the October 2010 and October 2014 municipal elections. He was appointed board chair in June 2011, and has been re-elected to that role every year since. Inch represents South Prince Edward County.

Kyle was first elected to the board in the October 2010 municipal elected and was re-elected in 2014.

She was first elected as board vicechair in December 2014. She represents North Hastings.

Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board serves approximately 15,000 students each day at 38 elementary and eight secondary schools.

By Terry McNamee Stirling - The Stirling-Rawdon Fire Department can now access emergency calls in difficult terrain, thanks to the donation of a new Arctic Cat all-terrain vehicle (ATV) to the department by Belleville Sport and Lawn Centre.

“Owner Brian Hadley and his sister Karen Shaw did all the work with Arctic Cat to have it donated to us,”

said Fire Chief Derrick Little. “Each year, they will replace it with a new one.

“We never had one before. It will be very useful for us and save us a lot of walking.”

He said staff at the company also did all the work to create a “fully loaded” emergency ATV, including extra lights, heated hand grips and other special features. The vehicle will be

shared with Stirling Police Services.

The chief said it will be used for grass fires, accidents and rescues on trails, search and rescue and getting into places where a traditional vehicle cannot go.

Chief Little said the vehicle can carry two passengers and has storage boxes, visors and mud tires for extra traction.

“You can use it all year,” he said.

Stirling-Rawdon ponders costs of county-wide policing by the OPP In hopes of saving money, the 14 member municipalities in Hastings County are being asked if they are interested in requesting a costing for the Ontario Provincial Police to provide police services across the entire county, instead of having many individual police services.

On Monday, Dec. 7, StirlingRawdon Council voted in favour of going ahead with finding out the cost of making the change.

“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 popula-

tion 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 Services Board for the entire County.

Hastings County 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 StirlingRawdon.

Hastings 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. Approving a resolution to request the cost estimate will not require a municipality to commit to a contract for County-wide policing.

Shared services on a smaller scale have been approved for firefighting in Stirling-Rawdon and the Municipality of Tweed. Both departments

will now be administered as one by Stirling-Rawdon Fire Chief Derrick Little. Prior to this, Tweed did not have its own fire chief, Cooney explained.

The two departments not only will have a single chief, but will have shared administrative costs with a joint Fire Services Board, and the agreement allows for the hiring of a much-needed Fire Prevention Officer.

Cooney thanked Chief Little, who, he said, “put a lot of effort into it” to make this agreement possible.

In other news, Council approved a recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Committee that the Stirling Lions Club be asked about setting aside a small section of their existing park for a dog park. If the Lions agree, Council voted to put $15,000 into the Recreation Department budget for 2016 to pay for fencing the dog park section and other costs associated with creating it.

Quinte West council approves 2016 capital budget

By Erin Stewart

Mayor Jim Harrison and councillors came approved the 2016 capital budget during the city council meeting at City Hall on Monday Dec. 7.

Trenton - Quinte West city council approved the 2016 capital budget without raising taxes during the council meeting at City Hall on Monday Dec. 7.

The budget of $10,157,000 was approved after councillors decided to defer the Hamilton Road resurfacing project worth $1.5 million until 2017, so council wouldn’t be $677,000 over its initial budget.

By deferring the $1.5 million Hamilton Road resurfacing project council was able to stay on budget and put money aside to pave the parking lot at the Frankford arena with a cost of $150,000 and additional paving at the Frankford Tourist Park with a cost of $75,000.

The remaining $600,000 of unallocated money will now be added to the $2 million set aside for rural road revitalization in 2016. The city originally planned to spend $2 million on rural roads in 2016 and $2 million in 2017. With the additional funds totalling $2.6 in rural roads revitalization in 2016 councillors

hoped to decrease their spending on the project to $1.4 million in 2017.

Mayor Jim Harrison said he thinks it’s a good capital budget and is happy with the change to differ the Hamilton Road resurfacing project and invest more money in rural roads.

“That project was initially completed in 2004 and we hoped it would last 10 years, so we are over and out in terms of the lifespan of that project so we’ve got to renew it and upgrade those roads,” Mayor Harrison said. “We’ll likely start with the rural roads in Sidney and do a fair amount of work this coming year and move over to Murray, then in 2017 do the remainder.”

The big ticket projects in the 2016 capital budget include the second hardball field at Centennial Park worth $450,000, bridge replacement on Teal Road at $500,000, reconstruction on Miron Road, including water and sewer updates at $500,000, investing $500,000 in the new firehall station #1 and $500,000 for a new Dectron Unit for the YMCA.

Red Devils play in Minor Midget showcase game

By Stephen Petrick

Two Quinte Red Devils players played in the Ontario Minor Hockey Association’s Eastern AAA (ETA) Minor Midget showcase game played in Orillia last weekend.

The showcase isn’t a boring game of shinny, as it’s an opportunity for players to impress scouts, as the best minor midget players are eligible for the

spring’s Ontario Hockey League draft.

The Red Devils were represented by Nathan Dunkley, who is widely touted as one of the best OHL prospects in Eastern Ontario.

Dunkley gave scouts a sneak-peek with what to expect as a call-up with Quinte last season. On route to the OMHA Minor Midget AAA championship, he capped off

an impressive run with the 1999born players age-group, scoring the game winner in overtime to capture the title for the Red Devils.

Dunkley is five-foot-10, but scouting reports say he makes up for his lack of size by being strong and thick and having a low centre of gravity.

Hhe protects the puck well, has high-end skills and looks to make a difference every time he is on the ice.

The other Red Devil player was Matt Sherwin, of Campbellford.

Sherwin is described as a tall and lanky forward with a lot of upside.

He is tied for fourth in league goal scoring, and he is expected to only get better as he grows into his big frame.

Hawks continue to soar in Junior A The Quinte region’s two Junior A teams continue to play well as they move into the second halves of their seasons.

The Trenton Golden Hawks are the talk of the Ontario Junior Hockey League, as they ended the weekend with a 26-2-1-1 record, which makes them, by far, the best team in the league.

The Hawks boast the league’s seventh leading scorer, Pickering native Liam Morgan, who has 15 goals and 24 assists.

The Hawks also have the topranked goaltender in the league.

Daniel Urbani has a 20-2 record and a sparkling goals against average of 1.59. Urbani is from Coquitlam, B.C. Meanwhile the Wellington Dukes are also having a competitive season, as they ended the weekend with a 18-11-1-1 record, good for third place in the East division.

Wellington has the league’s top scorer, in Luc Brown. The Napanee native has 25 goals and 28 assists.

The Dukes also have a solid goaltender in Olivier Lafreniere. The Bradford Ont. native has a 9-7-1-1 record and a 2.20 goals against average, which has him ranked third

in the league.

Bulldogs struggling, since leaving Belleville In case you’re wondering, the team formerly known as the Belleville Bulls is struggling a tad both on the ice and at the box office.

The Ontario Hockey League season is just about midway through. At the start of this week the Hamilton Bulldogs were in last place in the East

division, with a record of 1116-2-0 and not in a playoff position.

Stephen Harper, one of many former Bulls players who moved with the team to Hamilton, is the Bulldogs leading scorer, with 16 goals and 17 assists.

And how is the team drawing in the new city?

The attendance at their Sunday home game, a 4-3 loss to Kingston, was reported at 2,609. In other recent games,

attendance was slightly above 3,000. Those numbers are comparable to what the Bulls would usually bring in at the Yardmen Arena. But those crowds make the 17,000-seat First Ontario Centre seem pretty cavernous.

Quinte Ballet Holiday dance special is Saturday, December 12

It’s only a few days away from the annual festive performances of Quinte Ballet School’s ‘Holiday Dance Presents’ on Saturday, Dec. 12, and tickets are selling at a steady pace for both the 1pm and 4pm matinees. QBSC’s professional students are busy putting the final touches on the upcoming presentation.

Sumptuous costumes have been prepared, studios are ringing out Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite score and office staff members are busy spreading good cheer. As with all QBSC productions, the shows are presented in the spacious and comfortable Centennial Secondary School Theatre Auditorium located at 160 Palmer Road, right next door to the ballet school.

The Candy Cane Café will also be on hand in the lobby, post-shows, to provide light refreshments, an opportunity to have your picture taken on the Sugar Plum Fairy’s throne and to meet the talented young dancers. QBSC also has some very special student dancers from the Recreation Division this year, making these shows a truly well-rounded school production.

Choreography for Holiday Dance Presents has been adapted by Artistic Director Catherine Taylor and the professional faculty. The professional students work especially hard at this time of year as every day, beginning with their academic courses, they then move on to QBSC where they continue with their dance training followed by rehearsals. Despite long days, the students are excited about giving the community a view of their hard work, dedication and the expressive world of dance. Catherine Taylor comments that the opportunity to perform is a very important part of a dance stu-

dent’s training, and ‘the upcoming performances are the result of their efforts and many hours of rehearsing and dedication. These are remarkable young people, and their talents should not be missed!’ Word of the calibre of the shows has spread, and there are audience members attending from as far away as the Oshawa and Ottawa regions.

It takes many weeks of preparation for this popular community event, and once again McDougall Insurance and Financial has stepped up to become the Event sponsor. Their invaluable contribution provides Quinte Ballet School with some of the necessary tools for staging such a large and busy production. Quinte Broadcasting and The New Classical 103.1Fm are both

on air as broadcasting sponsors, helping to promote this great event.

Experience the magic of ‘Holiday Dance Presents’ and start your holidays off with a smile! Reserved seating tickets for ‘Holiday Dance Presents’ 1pm and 4pm matinees are available from the office of Quinte Ballet School of Canada, 196 Palmer Road in Belleville, by phone at

613.962.9274 / 1.866.962.9274 or at the door (cash, cheque only). Prices are Adults $22, Seniors & Students $18 and Children 12 years and under $12.

Belleville - A bill intended to crack down on the sale of contraband cigarettes was supported in principle by the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health board.

The vote followed a presentation

by Prince Edward-Hastings Member of Provincial Parliament Todd Smith at the Friday, Dec. 4. board meeting. He said Bill 139 is essentially designed to stop “organized crime.”

“We’re considered to be the wild west here in Ontario” in the world of contraband tobacco, said Smith, adding that he has learned illegal cigarettes made in Ontario are being sold around the world.

Smith introduced the bill in the Ontario Legislature in November.

It was supported by all three parties, he said, and he expects it will be discussed at the committee level in the new year.

The bill would increase fines for those caught selling illegal tobacco and suspend drivers’ licences for those using vehicles to transport the cigarettes. The bill is known as the Smoke-Free Schools Act, as it was initially intended to address the sale of these cigarettes to minors.

Smith said he’s worried that people are buying contraband cigarettes, such as those manufactured and sold in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, and taking them in vans to parking lots outside high schools, where they sell them for rates teenagers can afford simply by rummaging around loose change.

“Kids were getting introduced to smoking, very affordably or cheaply,” Smith said.

Roberto Almeida, a health protection program manager, also spoke about the bill at the meeting.

“We support it as well,” he said.

“We feel it closes a loophole on the sale of tobacco on school grounds.

Overall it aims to reduce youth access to tobacco.”

Almeida spoke about more efforts that are being considered to lower smoking rates. He said the newly-elected Liberal government in Ottawa is considering legislation that forces “plain packaging” for cigarettes. That means the cigarette company can only print its name on the box and not build a distinctive brand.

There’s also talk in health circles, Almeida said, on whether it’s time to raise taxes on cigarettes even more, as they’ve stayed the same in Ontario for about 10 years.

Following presentations by both men, the board voted to support the bill in principle. Smith said he also has support from the Canadian Cancer Society and the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

With this support, he hopes the

bill can be passed into law before next year’s budget.

But he acknowledged, due to the slow nature of government, it may take longer.

While cigarettes were being discussed, the topic of the sale of contraband cigarettes in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory came up.

Prince Edward County representative Kevin Gale asked Almeida whether the health unit can limit the sale of these cigarettes, as he’s concerned that many PEC residents buy cheap cigarettes on the “Vegaslike” cigarette shops on Tyendinaga Territory.

Almedia said the health unit doesn’t enforce cigarette

Trooper, Chilliwack, Sass Jordan and the Legendary Downchild Blues Band as well as 1970s country rockers The Cooper Brothers.

More are to be announced.

“It’s exciting,” says the Jamboree’s Jen Goheen.

“Ed and Paula (Jamboree owners Ed Leslie and Paula Chopik) have been talking about how they’re going to do it for years and just finally said “let’s jump in and do it,’” Goheen says.

She and Paula were looking through some rosters for the Jamboree and booking acts when Paula started highlighting some of the names. They were

all classic rock performers and that triggered the desire to put together what they’ve called the first annual Haverock Revival.

With the Jamboree’s mammoth new state-of-the-art stages they’re able to accommodate everything and anyone.

“The booking agents we work with know our venue and the artists are happy to be here. It’s the same venue; it’s the same people running it. It’s the same atmosphere only that we’re going to throw some rock out there.”

They plan for 12 to 14 acts the first year and will grow from there, says Goheen. The two-

They talked to Bob Spencer of Metal Works Productions whom they work with at the Jamboree and asked: “Who still sounds good? Who still draws a crowd? Who should we go after in our first year?”

Policing costs wallop Havelock-Belmont-Methuen

By Bill Freeman Havelock – A major increase in policing costs is driving a potential tax increase in Havelock-BelmontMethuen.

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 account-

ing for almost four per cent of that.

The 2016 municipal tax levy requirement is $5,499,919 a jump of $453,299 or nine per cent.

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.

James provided council with pos-

sible funding options using a mix of reserves and OMPF (Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund) money that could be used to mitigate the tax spike caused by the OPP budget. A draw of $28,500 transfer from reserves with $15,000 in OMPF funds would lower the proposed tax increase to 4.62 per cent.

“I’m not sure if council wants to fund more of the increase. There is just not much more we can do to take that away,” James said when last month when she first tabled the draft budget.

“My own caution for this is we don’t know what the policing budgets will be in the future. They will be going up for sure,” she added Monday.

Right now the increase equates to $21.49 per $100,000 of assessment, she said.

Council could use more OMPF dollars or reserve funds to mitigate the impact.

In the draft budget a property assessed at $250,000 would see municipal taxes increase by $60.77.

Area rates for village ward residents have seen a slight 1.85 per cent or $3.99 on a property assessed at $150,000.

Village ward residents pay for sidewalks, streetlights, and curbside garbage collection through area rates which stand at $124,000 for 2016.

“This hasn’t changed a lot. The only thing that changed was streetlights a tiny bit,” said James.

There’s a proposed $2 increase in flat water rates for

both residential and commercial properties with no change proposed for sewer rates other than those on commercial metered accounts which go up $10.

User fees will generate $132,288 for the King Street reconstruction project which includes water and sewer work.

Council wants more time to review the budget and looks forward to hearing from the public Dec. 14. They’d like another meeting to pour over the budget in finer detail.

During council’s first look at the draft last month, Mayor Gerow said it was “highly important” ratepayers “know where that increase is coming from.”

“Four or five per cent is going to be a pretty hard thing for some people to deal with,” Gerow added Monday.

“We have people living on one pension incomes and (increases) are significant.”

People need to know that policing costs make up a substantial chunk of the proposed increase, he said.

“I don’t want to become reliant on OMPF to offset policing costs. I don’t want to see council move in the direction where we are utilizing those funds to mitigate costs, especially policing, in the long term.”

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – Residents of Quinte Living Centre didn’t have to go to the grocery store on Wednesday, Dec. 2.

Instead, a grocery store came to them.

A fresh fruit and vegetable market was set up in a common room of the Front Street retirement residence in the afternoon.

The market was there, thanks to the Community Development Council of Quinte’s new Travelling Market program.

The CDC is a non-profit agency that has been providing health and social service programs to the community since 1989. One of its most popular programs is the Good Food Box. Those who sign up for it receive large boxes of produce, monthly, for a discounted price.

The Travelling Market works similarly, in that it gives people access to healthy food at a low cost. However, now people don’t necessarily have to travel to the CDC office to pick up their produce. Some people may find that it’s easier to pick up produce at a travelling market location.

Jim Mallabar, the co-ordinator of the new program, said the Travelling Market attends places that may be described as “food deserts,” meaning they’re, in the case of an urban area, more than one kilometre away from a grocery store. In the case of a rural area, it’s considered four kilometres.

Quinte Living Centre is one of seven locations within Hastings County where the Travelling Market will visit throughout each month.

It also visits the Jesus Christ Church Continued on page B6

Council launches Travelling Underground chambers help protect Eastern Milksnakes Market program

of Latter-day Saints in Bancroft, the Loud Mouth Café in Coe Hill, the Legion in Madoc, the library in Marmora, the Legion in Deseronto and the Community Partners for Success building in Frankford.

Mallabar said the program started as a pilot project in the summer but launched officially last month and it got great feedback from customers at all of the locations. The rewarding part for him was seeing the smiles on the faces of customers as they checked out the fresh food.

“People loved the idea,” he said. “We got rave reviews … That’s one of the perks of the job, to see the happiness.”

The program is being financed by Hastings County. The funds allow the CDC to buy the produce from a wholesaler. The food is sold immediately, so the food customers get, in some

cases, could be even fresher than food they would buy from a grocery store.

“We don’t mark it up; it’s at cost,” Mallabar said. “It helps people eat healthy and save money at the same time.”

The food available includes potatoes, onions, celery, cucumbers, green onions, apples, oranges, carrots, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, bananas and kiwi.

Mallabar said the program’s intention is to lower food insecurity statistics. The Quinte area has the second highest rate of food insecurity in the province, meaning one in every nine people often don’t have enough money to purchase nutritious food.

Indian River – Two underground snake “hibernaculum” have been constructed on the grounds of the Indian River Reptile Zoo as one of the most unique stewardship projects undertaken by Otonabee Conservation and its partners this year.

The underground chambers (hibernacula) allow native Eastern Milksnakes to enjoy a safe and protective space during the cold winter months.

“The hibernacula protect snakes from dry, frigid winter temperatures ensuring they overwinter in a healthy condition. When the snakes emerge in the spring, they will feed in nearby meadows and woodlands,” says Meredith Carter, manager of environmental and technical services for Otonabee Conservation.

Otonabee Conservation has undertaken 36 stewardship projects with its watershed region partners, ranging from Monarch butterfly way

stations to turtle nesting habitat creation and reforestations.

The renowned Indian River Reptile Zoo was pleased to be able to work with Otonabee Conservation on the project.

The project establishes a “critical habitat for Eastern Milksnakes, a species of special concern in Ontario,” says Kyle O’Grady, the zoo’s assistant curator.

“At the zoo we work hard to educate visitors about snakes as many people are often afraid of snakes. This project will help visitors to our zoo better understand local snake populations and their habitat requirements,” O’Grady said.

O’Grady says the zoo will unveil interpretative signage about the hibernacula and Eastern Milksnakes during a special celebration this spring.

The hibernacula project received funding support from the federal government as part of its National Conservation Plan.

It’s the giving season, so why are so many taking?

R0013589872

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. fuzzy season, the giving seaOkay, no, it isn’t. It’s beginning to look a lot like April, son. but that’s a weather story.

But, I’m also somewhat put I’m talking about the Christmas season, the warm and off by something I see in Belleville every year and that’s greed.

It’s the greed exhibited by people who live, work and shop in downtown Belleville – and likely in Trenton and Picton, where this sneaky, greasy practice is no doubt playing out as well.

It’s free parking – as in free for all! Whee! – wherever local municipalities operate parking meters.

But, it isn’t really free except for scores of freeloaders who take advantage of the opportunity.

Food for Learning’s Feed the Meter campaign is back for another holiday season, raising funds for student nutrition programs that are served throughout Hastings and Prince Edward counties.

The campaign was launched at a community breakfast at The Greek Hall in Belleville last Wednesday.

Feed the Meter is a pro-

gram run by the Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation, with partnership from the municipalities of Belleville, Quinte West and Prince Edward County.

During the month of December, these municipalities offer free parking in downtown Belleville, Trenton and Picton on the understanding that motorists will put change into parking meters during the month. All proceeds will go to support Food for Learning’s breakfast, snack and lunch programs in schools.

According to organizers, the program is important because children in Hastings and Prince Edward counties are attending school hungry every day.

I’ve heard cynics make observations that say, basically, “Let their parents feed the little buggers before sending them out the door…” or “Maybe if mom and dad weren’t buying beer and smokes with their welfare cheques, there’d be breakfast on the table for the kids…”

That sort of thing.

Not that easy, Ronnie Redneck. For every kid who ar-

rives at school hungry or who has a lunchbag that holds little more than a granola bar and a bag of chips, there’s a different story as to why they’re not eating properly. And, as we’ve learned in a civilized society, if kids aren’t properly nourished, it’s one less tool in their learning toolbox.

Programs are available in most schools in this region and this school year, 176 breakfast, lunch and snack programs are being offered throughout Hastings and Prince Edward counties.

Between September and June, approximately 950,000 meals and snacks will be served to local children and youth.

“We want to increase the chance of success at school for our students,” says Maribeth deSnoo, executive director of The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation.

“Hastings and Prince Edward counties has the second highest rate of food insecurity in the province of Ontario.”

Yes, you read that right – we really, really rank right

Chris Malette up there with the most impoverished districts in this blessed province when it comes to sending kids off to school malnourished.

“The benefits of participating in a student nutrition program are immeasurable,” deSnoo continued. “Many students depend on our programs for their daily nutrition. Feed the Meter allows us to continue to provide quality food choices for all students.”

CDC offers Community Kitchen Level 2 workshops While the Community Development Council of Quinte continues with its Travelling Market and Good Baby Box programs, it is also moving forward another popular program, the Community Kitchens.

The Community Kitchen program helps to teach participants to stretch their food dollars by cooking in large quantities as a group.

The CDC has offered Level One Kitchen workshops in the past and is now offering Level 2 classes.

The Level 2 class will be an extension of the Level 1 class with a more in-depth focus on personal and shopping budgeting information and shopping tips. Attending the Level

1 Kitchen is a prerequisite to registering for Level 2. The participants will each receive a crock pot to further enhance their cooking abilities.

“With the success of the Level 1 workshops, we wanted to provide a more in-depth focus on personal and shopping budgeting information and further shopping tips,” said program coordinator Bev Heuving.

One of the upcoming Level 2 workshops takes place on Tuesday, Dec. 15 at Deseronto United Church from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

For more information on any of these programs, call 613-968-2466, or visit the CDC office at 65 Station St. Belleville.

Why are so many taking?

Continued from page B8 But, day-in and day-out, if you’re ever downtown in any of the towns in these parts that participate in the program, you’ll see them – the scofflaws and freeloaders who see the program as a ticket to free parking, without a thought or a tinge of guilt for parking their car or truck and walking away – sometimes for the whole day – without putting so much as a nickel in the meter.

Human nature, I guess, but it’s too easy to write

off the grubby practice as: “Hey, life’s expensive enough, I’m going grab a freebie whenever and wherever I can.”

So, hit the hip and feed the meter, won’t you?

And while you’re at it, drop a few shekels in the Sally Ann kettles.

Hey, it’s Christmas!

Give a little, live a little. And feel better doing it.

It’s a wonderful show!

By Jack Evans

Belleville - “It’s a Wonderful Life,” the classic Great Depression era title now playing at the Pinnacle Playhouse, is more than just a title: it’s a wonderful show.

Generous-sized audiences for the opening shows have risen, teary-eyed at the end to join the cast in singing “Auld Lang Syne” after a spellbinding two hours of rich, warm, comedic drama. This is indeed a memorable Christmas present from the Belleville Theatre Guild and its stable of talented amateur actors to the entire community. It is also a huge credit for Scott Roodvoets left, plays the beleaguered George Bailey while Colin Leonard is his craft guardian Bill Petch as a creative and skillful angel, Clarence, in the Belleville Theatre Guild radio play, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Photo by Greg director. That, as a motion picture, it has been screened Pinchin countless times over the decades and seen several times by almost everyone in attendance at Pinnacle Playhouse,

had no bearing. This show is live, as it would have been in a studio radio audience. The commercials, cleverly based on local sponsors of the show, read as if the said business firms were operating and promoting their services in the late 1930s.

The casting is superb, from Scott Roodvoets as the bankrupt and disillusioned loans officer George Bailey, and Colin Leonard as his guardian angel, Clarence, to every other member of the cast, most of whom do different voices and roles into the old fashioned microphones spread across the stage. The villainous and greedy miser, Mr. Potter, and other roles were capably handled by veteran Dave Kidd. Sonya Zaback plays Mary, George’s wife, and also a talking parrot; Gerry Fraiberg speaks with experience as the announcer and also the supervising angel directing Clarence; Mo Lesley plays several different characters; John O’Connor is George’s Uncle Billy plus other roles;

Lise Lindenberg shines as Ma Bailey, urging her son to marry, and also other roles; Enno Busse plays Pop Bailey, Ernie the taxi driver and more; Timothy Fransky plays Dr.Campbell, Bert the police officer and more; Danielle Dettlinger almost steals the show with her child-with-a-cold voice as Zuzu and others and Ken MacPherson moves like a percussion player in an orchestra as he mans a table full of sound effects.

The plot follows the movie version faithfully. In his darkest hour, George Bailey wishes he had never been born and, with Clarence’s help, gets to experience what his hometown would be like without him. Eager to return to life, he is greeted as a hero, showered with wealth of friends, family and money. Professional theatre companies could learn much from this dedicated, talented band of thespians.

The show runs through Dec. 19. For tickets or information call (613) 9671442.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth: The Christmas tree the room will not make it out. These tests were conducted with spruces, pines and firs with no appreciable difference in the results.

So, how do you know if your tree has dried out? Falling needles is not always the tell-tale although needle retention is important. The difficulty here is that evergreens often have old and new needles on their branches.

Once you’ve brought the tree indoors and it has relaxed, many of the old needles will fall onto the floor and this can be alarming. Look at the needles that are still on the branches, especially those at the tips of each stem and the crown: when the tree is drying out those are the needles that do so first. The obvious warning sign is that the level of water in the stand is not changing. When you first bring in the tree it will soak up a surprising amount of water; a gallon in the first day, several quarts for the next few days and then it will level off but still absorb some. (Okay, metric people, about four litres a day and then a couple of litres afterwards: okay, non-arithmetic people about four milk bags of water.) Needles that are not as glossy or shiny are also an indicator that the tree is drying out.

What do you do with a dried out tree? You can put a fresh cut on the butt and see if it rehydrates itself. Or, and this is the best response, replace the tree with a new one. It is a bit of a messy,

time-consuming hassle to do this but the alternative is not desirable. This is not rocket science, GR, and it is unlikely that you will experience difficulties with your tree but you do need to be aware. Okay, PSA completed.

Is the Christmas tree a Christian symbol? I’ve heard lots of discussions recently about this and some of those conversations were a titch heated.

Frankly, GR, I don’t care if it is or not. I personally believe and celebrate Christmas as a Holy Day and I don’t need a decoration to focus my faith. But, we love having a Christmas tree in our home.

I have thought about the symbolism of the tree over the years, as I’m sure many of you have also. It serves as focal point for the family. As my young but very wise friend, Trevor Poole, said to me recently while we were taking a brief respite (very brief, Boss), “It is a time when families interact with each other, without electronics or other distractions. They are together as a family participating in an activity and it is so cool to see that.”

It has been our experience at the nursery, that we as a staff, look forward to Christmas tree season for just that reason. We see happy excited families having fun together.

A Christmas tree can be a symbol of Christianity, it can be a symbol for family togetherness,

Dan Clost and it can be a symbol for peace and hope. It is a symbol of good and I would pray that each of us take those symbols and turn them into reality.

R0013594699

Gentle Reader, I’d like to chat with you a wee bit about the Christmas tree. One aspect will be along practical lines and the other will briefly, very briefly, look at the holiday vs. the Holy Day. Practical side first because if you mess this one up, you might not have the opportunity to move from your physical reality to the metaphysical realm of philosophy.

With proper care, a cut Christmas tree should not pose any danger; however, it is a source of fuel and, as its indoor season progresses, the flammability or ease of catching fire can increase.

A properly hydrated tree, one that continues to take in water daily, is not so easily ignited. A lit match will cause green needles to burn but as soon as the flame is removed, the needles selfextinguish; again, if the tree is properly watered.

Other test methods of trying to ignite a properly hydrated tree included the use of a blowtorch, a lighter, an electrical arc, and overheated wiring, with the same results.

The tree becomes dangerous when it has dried out past the point of being able to take in fresh water. This usually occurs when someone forgets to add water on a regular basis and the stem dries out. At that point, the same tests show that a single match will turn the tree into a flaming torch within seconds with the flames filling the room and coming out the doorway. Anybody in

Floorball Championships games to air on TV Cogeco and online

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – If you can’t make it to the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre to see the Under 19 Girls World Floorball Championships in Belleville next spring, you can still see plenty of the action – both on television and online.

TV Cogeco and Loyalist College have struck a deal with the International Floorball Federation to broadcast games.

All of Canada’s games will be broad-

cast live by TV Cogeco. The entire tournament will also be live-streamed to the web, thanks to an agreement reached with Loyalist’s media studies department.

The championships are being played at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre from May 2 to 8, 2016.

The TV Cogeco agreement also allows Canada’s games to be shown to all Cogeco and Rogers affiliate stations.

“That opens the door to three million

television subscribers,” said Tim Durkin, the tournament’s media director.

“It’s giving exposure for the sponsors and for the growth of game.”

The deal was announced at a press conference at Loyalist College on Tuesday, Dec. 8. Media students will be involved with the live-streaming work and some components of the Cogeco broadcasts.

Durkin said the agreement is important because the IFF asks that all games at a world championship be

broadcast – especially because there’s a large fan base for floorball in Europe.

Durkin said TV Cogeco’s coverage will include, not just games, but feature stories and athlete profiles that can help Canadians just learning about floorball to better understand the game.

When Belleville hosts the games, it will mark the first time a floorball world championship has been hosted on this side of the Atlantic Ocean.

Belleville songwriters topping charts Don Murdock and Brian Dolph, both of Belleville, were more than surprised to find out their co-written song, Christmas To Me, had made the Canada Country Aircheck Top 10 list of favourite CANCON Country Christmas songs.

The song flew in under the radar and landed at number three on the list.

Rounding out the top three are Doc Walker and Johnny Reid who claimed the number 1 spot. Canadian artists including Jason McCoy, Willie Mack, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Crystal Sha-

Small Business Grant$ 50% Small Of Eligible Costs Business Grant$

wanda, Jessie Farrall, Anita Perras and Brad Johner fill out the Top 10 list.

Released commercially in Canada for the 2013 season, Christmas To Me had an immediate and controversial impact.

The song asks the question that so many ask during the Christmas season, “Why must everything be politically correct?”

Christmas To Me attracted the attention of a number of national news organizations and was featured on the CBC Radio One program The 180. Wherever

articles appeared about the song, comment sections lit up with debate.

Christmas To Me has been and is included on the syndicated holiday program, “A Country Christmas,” which has been distributed annually for 27 years to hundreds of radio stations around the world including Canada, the USA and Europe. Each year the song grows in popularity bringing Don Murdock new fans to his brand of honest country.

Durkin said preparations for the tournament are going well and excitement is building among organizers.

“Personally, I can’t wait to see it,” he said. “To have (teams from) 16 countries – 400 athletes – calling Belleville and the Quintea area home for a week and a half, it’s incredible.”

Canada opens the tournament with a game against Japan on May 4 at 11 a.m. It then has primetime matches at 7:15 p.m. verses Jamaica on May 5 and Germany on May 6.
