Very successful food drive for Quinte West Fire Station 5

By Erin Stewart

Volunteers from Quinte West Fire Station 5 in Batawa raised around four tonnes of food for local food banks during their 20th annual food drive on Wednesday Dec. 9.

Photo by Erin Stewart.

Batawa – Quinte West’s Fire Station 5 raised around four tonnes of food for local food banks during their 20th annual food drive on Wednesday Dec. 9.

Mike O’Neil, division commander of Fire Station 5, said this was their best year yet.

“This year has been over the top,” O’Neil said.

“Over the 20 years, this is the most we’ve ever gathered.”

Volunteers from Station 5, Batawa, spent five nights going door to door across Glen Miller, Batawa, Pine Acres and Glen Ross to pick up food donations for Trenton’s Care and share Food Bank, the Frankford Pantry and Stirling Food Bank.

Captain Rick Vanvaals said all of the volunteers have a really good time getting out in the commu-

nity to collect donations.

“Every year it gets better and better, people are really generous,” Vanvaals said. “It’s just amazing how generous people are.

Al Teal, general manager of the Trenton Care and Share Food Bank, came to pick up the food on Wednesday Dec. 9, and said he is always very grateful for the firefighters donation.

“This year, of all years, it’s a real necessity,” Teal said. “The economy is a lot worse than what we thought it was, and this will help us stock up our shelves, which is does every year.”

Teal said the food bank needs donations this year more than any previous year, as clients are coming more often and the shelves are running very low.

Two youth charged in Quinte West robbery

By Erin Stewart Trenton - Quinte West OPP have arrested two teens with robbing the Mac’s Milk on the corner of Dixon Drive and Byron Street on Wednesday Oct. 28 in Trenton.

Officers were called to the location after two suspects were armed with weapons and demanded cash from the cashier. The suspects were described as wearing all dark clothing and left on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.

After an investigation, officers arrested a 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boyfrom Quinte West on Dec. 10.

The 15-year-old minor has been charged with robbery with a weapon and disguise with intent. The 16-year-old has been charged with the same two charges and an addition four counts of failing to comply with a court order.

The names of the accused are not being released in accordance with the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

“Write for Rights� in Belleville Belleville - Belleville’s Amnesty International called on the community to “Write for Rights’ to show their support for victims of human rights abuse around the world on International human Rights Day, Thursday Dec. 10.

The annual campaign was held from 1:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Bel-

leville’s Bridge Street Church with tables filled of booklets explaining many cases of human rights abuse around the world. Tables were filled with supplies for people to write to government officials to ask for justice and to the victims of the abuse to let them know they are not forgotten.

Darren Moore has attended the “Write for Rights� day in Belleville

One dead, three injured in crashes

A man is reportedly dead and several other motorists and passengers injured after a spate of collisions on roads in and around Belleville and Bayside Thursday. One occurred at 9:30 a.m. at Highway 2 and Burns Avenue and involved four vehicles in collision. Two people were sent to Belleville General Hospital with injuries. Later Thursday, at 2 p.m. Quinte West fire crews were again called to Old Highway 2 for a second collision, this one a head-on collision in front of the Castle Building Centre.

The jaws of Life had to be used to remove one of the drivers, who reportedly later died of his injuries at Belleville General. Another vehicle’s occupant was also transported with less serious injuries.

Quinte West firehall #3 crews were involved in both incidents. Submitted photo

for many years now and said it’s very important for him to write letters to victims and encourage action to stop human rights abuse. “I think this is my eighth year taking part, maybe ninth,� Moore said. “The reason I do it is because if I lived in any of these countries it would be me in prison. I’m very politically active, I blog and write about this kind of thing a lot, and I’m not ashamed about expressing my beliefs.�

Moore said it’s so important to him he books the day off work every year so he can spend an entire

day and get around to every table to write to everyone. “I think we forget a lot, in this country, how fortunate we are and I think it’s really easy to take for granted the freedoms we have that so many people don’t,� said Moore.

Anthea Weese, volunteer with Belleville’s Amnesty International, said some people have been released after significant time and prison where they had received these types of cards of support. “One person said he had wall-papered his cell with the cards he got from people around the world and it

was what gave him hope. It was the only thing that helped him keep his sanity, knowing he wasn’t forgotten.� Weese said.

Weese said they had a very good turnout with around 50 people writing letters within the first couple of hours of the campaign. Some of the cases people wrote to included a woman imprisoned for 30 years in Al Salvador for having a still-birth, a family in Syria who were taken by the government without an explanation and calling for justice for Canada’s missing and murdered indigenous women.

Darren Moore spends the entire day writing letters for people around the world behind bars or in danger for exercising their human rights at the “Write for Rights� campaign at Bridge Street Church on International Human Rights Day, Dec. 10.

OPINION

COP21: Cheering and Fearing

The climate deal that almost 200 countries agreed to in Paris on Saturday was far better than most insiders dared to hope even one month ago.

The biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, China and the United States, are finally on board. There is real on the table to Gwynne Dyer money help poor countries cut their emissions and cope with warming. They have even adopted a target of holding the warming to only +1.5 degrees C, instead of the limit of +2 degrees that was the goal when the conference opened.

So the thousands of delegates who spent two weeks dickering over the details of the deal in a drafty exhibition hall north of Paris felt fully justified in cheering and congratulating one another on a job well done. Given all that, it’s a pity that the deal won’t actually stop the warming.

The +2 limit was always too high. It began as a scientific estimate of when natural feedbacks, triggered by the warming that human beings had caused, take over and started driving the temperature much, much higher. It was actually quite a fuzzy number: at somewhere between +1.75 C and +2.25 C, the feedbacks will kick in and it will be game over.

So +2.0 C, for political purposes, became the limit. Beyond that, governments told us, we would have “dangerous warming”. Nonsense.

We are having dangerous warming now – bigger storms, worse floods, longer droughts – and we are only at +1.0 C. At +2 or thereabouts, what we get is catastrophe: runaway warming that can no longer be halted just by stopping human emissions of carbon dioxide. Nature will take over, and we will be trapped on a one-way escalator that is taking us up to +3, +4, +5, even +6 degrees. Hundreds of millions or even billions of people would die as large parts of the planet ceased to be habitable by human beings.

If you don’t want to risk unleashing that, then you don’t want to go anywhere near +2, so the official adoption by the world’s governments of +1.5 degrees as the never-exceed limit is a major step forward. But note that they have only pledged “to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C,” not to succeed. The hardand-fast promise is still not to go past +2 and there is not even any guarantee that that will be achieved.

In order to avoid a debacle like the one at the

last climate summit in Copenhagen six years ago, nobody even tried to put enforceable limits on national carbon dioxide emissions this time.

Each country was just invited to submit the emission cuts that it is willing to make. The sum of all those promised cuts (if the promises are kept) is what we will get by way of global emission cuts in the next five years.

United Nations experts did the math, and concluded that these emission cuts fall far short of what is needed. If this is all that is done, then we are headed for at least +2.7 degrees C or rather, for a lot more, because of the feedbacks.

None of the negotiations at the Paris conference changed those numbers, or even tried to. So are we doomed to runaway warming? Not necessarily.

Most of the negotiators know that the cuts which are politically impossible now may become quite possible in five or 10 years if the cost of renewable energy goes on dropping, if techniques like carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) become economically viable, and if people are sufficiently frightened by a climate that is getting wilder and less predictable by the year.

So there is a review process built into the treaty.

Every five years, starting in 2018, there will be a “stock-taking” exercise in which everybody’s progress in cutting their emissions will be reviewed, and everybody will be encouraged to increase their commitments and speed up their cuts.

Whether they will actually do that depends on political, economic and technological factors that cannot yet be calculated, but fear is a great incentive, and there is no government on the planet that is not frightened by the prospect of major climate change. In fact, most of them would have gone a lot further in Paris if they were not nervous about getting too far ahead of public opinion at home.

Public opinion will eventually change, because there is going to be a very large amount of damage and suffering in the world as we move past +1.0 and head up towards +1.5. Will it change fast enough to allow governments to act decisively and in time? Nobody knows.

Will new green technologies simply sweep the field, making fossil fuels uneconomic and government intervention unnecessary? Nobody knows that either, although many people pin their hopes on it.

We are not out of the woods yet, but we are probably heading in the right direction – and it would be right at this point to put in a good word for that much maligned organisation, the United Nations. It is the only arena in which global negotiations like this can be conducted, and its skills, traditions and people were indispensable in leading them to a more or less successful conclusion.

Policing costs have municipalities at gun point Editorial - By Chris Malette It’s hard not to pick up a newspaper in this region and not find a story about the debilitating effect that policing costs have on the bottom line of municipalities.

Each year, we hear reeves, mayors and treasurers crying “Uncle!” at budget time with no end in sight.

In an effort to find a solution, the 14 member municipalities in Hastings County are being asked if they are interested in requesting a costing from Ontario Provincial Police to provide police services across the entire county under one shared contract, instead of having many individual police services.

Stirling-Rawdon Council earlier this month voted in favour of going ahead with investigating the feasibility of the regional policing model.

“I think this is a good proposal,” said Stirling-Rawdon Mayor Rodney Cooney.

Currently, policing is the responsibility of each individual municipality.

At the last regular meeting of Hastings County Council in November, a comparison was made with the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, which has had unified policing for about 10 years. There, the total cost of policing the entire population of approximately 65,000 people in 2016 is estimated at $11.5-million. The cost is included in the annual county levy. The level of service is equal in all areas and there is one police board for the entire County.

Hastings County – excluding Belleville - includes about 33,000 people, but the estimated total cost of policing for all 14 municipalities for 2016 is about $10-million. Of that, about 18 per cent ($1.8-million) is the cost incurred for policing in Stirling-Rawdon, alone, so it’s easy to understand the municipality might be interested in finding a way to shave costs.

Hastings county council has asked each of the 14 member municipalities to decide by January 22 whether it supports moving forward with a costing request to the OPP. Approving a resolution to request the cost estimate will not require a municipality to commit to a contract for County-wide policing.

Tweed Mayor Jo-Anne Albert this year attended the annual Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference and noted the issue of mounting policing costs were – as in many

years at the AMO conference – a hot topic.

According to reports from the time, escalating OPP policing costs continue to be a concern for many small municipalities and Albert reported that Yasir Naqvi, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, in attendance at the conference, expressed a willingness to look at the issue, possibly even reviewing the whole Police Act. “That’s what we’ve been asking for,” said Albert. “The whole Act needs to be revised.”

It’s not just a serious financial drag on Hastings County municipalities, either.

In Havelock, we reported last week that a major increase in policing costs is driving a potential tax hike in the municipality of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen.

Township Council once again looked at its 2016 draft budget, which proposes a 5.7 per cent tax hike with a staggering $245,277 increase in contract OPP policing costs accounting for almost four per cent of that.

Policing costs in HBM jumped from $995,811 in 2015 to $1,241,088 under the OPP’s new funding formula.

Policing costs alone represent 24.5 per cent of the levy increase, Treasurer Carol James said.

It’s driving mayors and reeves – and their treasurers – mad with ways to meet infrastructure demands, paying their share of social services levies and all the rest, all the while staring down the barrel of what has amounted to annual increases in OPP service costs.

Belleville stands alone in having a full-sized, stand-alone police service and it too is undergoing some crushing decisions – chief among them where, when and how much to spend on a new police headquarters.

Some time back, there was some discussion for a regional police force that would have served Belleville and Trenton, if not all of Quinte West. It got no traction and since then, Quinte West folded the Trenton Police Force and went OPP. It’s encouraging to see, though, that Hastings council has taken the lead in seeking a solution, but the province, as was promised to Tweed mayor Albert, needs to take a serious look, too, at the entire Police Act and how it applies to smaller, rural municipalities like those that make up 80 per cent of this region.

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

2.

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

With the myriad of toothpaste brands and types, it can be a daunting task to determine which toothpaste is appropriate for you. When choosing a toothpaste, one should consider the contents of that toothpaste and determine if the benefits are in line with your oral health goals. For instance, if you suffer from gingivitis and halitosis (also known as bad breath), you may want to consider using a toothpaste that contains triclosan. If sensitivity with cold foods is a concern, you may want to use a toothpaste with desensitizing agents.

It is also important to keep in mind the potential risks with using some toothpastes, as some contain agents that may have a negative effect on your teeth. This is especially true with whitening toothpastes. Many whitening toothpastes contain highly abrasive agents that function to scrub surface stains left by food, thereby making teeth more white. If used excessively, these same abrasive agents can scrub away the enamel on teeth, making these teeth more sensitive to hot and cold and potentially more susceptible to dental decay.

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

New Level Two Community Kitchen Workshop

By Erin Stewart Belleville - The Community Development Council of Quinte is now offering Level Two in their Community Kitchen Workshop to provide a more in-depth focus on grocery shopping and budgeting.

“The Level One kitchens were so well received that we felt we wanted to take it a step further,” said program co-ordinator, Bev Heuving. “Anyone who has attended a Level One is invited to a Level two which promotes healthy eating and teaches individuals how to cook with a crock-pot.”

During the Level Two workshop at St. Thomas Church in Belleville, Elham Ekramnosratian (L), Clara Salinas (C) and Djeneba Ballo (R) are finishing up the vegetarian chili they learned to make on Thursday Dec. 10, around 14 participants learned how to make during the Level Two Community Kitchen Workshop on Thursday Dec. 10.

Quinte golf course goes unsold, fails to meet auction reserve

By Terry McNamee Stirling - There was a lot of interest beforehand in the auction sale of Oak Hills Golf Course on Wednesday, Dec. 9, but when the time came to buy, bidders got cold feet.

No one was more shocked than auctioneer Michael Marienwald when, after trying to open the sale at a million dollars, bidding started at just $200,000 and stalled at $500,000.

“I don’t see where we really have an auction here,” he said as the bid paddles stayed firmly on the tables. The reserve price was not made public.

“Bare land value, I’m sure, is more than $600,000,” Marienwald said of the 36-hole facility, which covers more than 198 acres in the north end Auctioneer Michael Marienwald was shocked when Oak Hills Golf Course outside of Stirling failed to of Quinte West, just outside of the village of Stirling. sell during an auction of the property on Wednesday, Dec. 9.

“We’re nowhere near the reserve right now,” he said. “We have assets of $200,000. We have prepaid memberships (for 2016) of $90,000.”

He said there are already 22 tournaments booked for next year as well.

The course has been in operation for 50 years, said general manager Cindy Gray.

“It’s very stunning country,” she said. “It’s one of the best charity courses in the area.”

She said it lends itself well to tournaments because of the two complete 18-hole courses, enabling two separate groups to golf at the same time.

“You can have a tournament on one 18 and cater to your members on the other,” added broker David Sonley of Anchor Realty.

Stirling resident Ed Colden said the course was founded by Ray Sharpe,

Bob Hoard and David Duffin.

“It started out with two holes!” he said. ”That was big news in Stirling.”

The property has gone through several owners over the decades since then, and is currently the property of Golf Course Management Corporation.

The auction included all the land, a clubhouse, an equipment barn with maintenance equipment and a house.

Most of the property is zoned Open Space. A couple of small areas are zoned Rural Residential, allowing one-acre lots to be built, although it would be at the expense of the number of holes on that course.

Marienwald said that, since the property failed to sell at auction, people can now put in offers to purchase.

Belleville welcomes Syrian refugee family

By Erin Stewart Belleville – A warm reception of about 50 people gathered in front of Albert College Friday for a short and intimate welcome ceremony for Belleville’s newest family from the Middle East.

Members of the refugee sponsorship group from Belleville’s Bridge Street Church, Eastminster United Church and St. Matthew’s United Church, sang O Canada and were introduced to the family of five.

Dr. Ian Sutherland, a member of the Bridge Street Church and sponsorship group, said the ceremony was very special and many people were moved to tears.

“The singing of O Canada was frequently punctuated by hands going to eyes,” Sutherland noted.

The family, natives of Syria, are parents with three sons aged 13, 11 and four. They lived in a Lebanon refugee camp for the past two years and flew from Beirut to Ottawa on Monday Dec. 11. Sutherland and a small group of people, including a translator, met the family at the airport and had a sign to welcome them in Arabic.

“Immediately there were smiles,” Sutherland said when the family saw the sign. “They were so grateful to be here and thankful they were being recognized as people in need.”

The family stayed in Ottawa for three days at a transition house so they could get set up with things like Social Insurance Numbers and bank accounts. A small group, including Sutherland, then went back to Ottawa on Friday to pick up the family and

Dr. Sutherland said the family has some medical needs, which put them Merry Christmas into the exceptional needs category and a Happy New Year that may mean a difficult or prolonged settlement. The churches have raised more than $20,000 toward their goal 10 Alice Street, of around $45,000, thanks to the genUnit 1, Brighton 613-475-5575 erosity of the church communities and R0023608318

other people who felt compelled to help.

“We have been amazed at individuals in our community, who are not associated with the churches or our community partners, who have walked in with cheques for $1,000, that’s happened 10 times,” Sutherland said. “We are just blown away… it makes one proud really, to be living in the area.”

Sutherland said the next critical step for the family is to learn English.

“Success is not getting the family here, success is having them resettled and becoming independent Canadian

citizens, that’s our target,” he said.

With the help of Quinte Immigration Services, the parents will begin learning English as a second language and the three boys will be enrolled in school next week.

If anyone 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 in the sponsorship group. Cheques can be made out to any of the three churches with the memo Refugee Sponsorship.

Belleville -- Development charges in the city are about to go up, against the wishes of the Quinte Home Builders’ Association.

And the bylaw that makes it possible passed after a bizarre series of debates at the Monday, Dec. 14 council meeting, which revealed how the mayor and nearly every councillor feel about the subject.

The bylaw that passed allows the development charge for the average single detached dwelling unit to increase to $11,376. A representative of the Home Builders’ said in a delegation the association was hoping the increase wouldn’t be beyond $10,307.

Development charges are fees that are charged by municipalities to builders every time they build a new house or business. The money collected allows a city to build new infrastructure, such as roads, to meet the community’s growth.

Arnold Vandermeer spoke on behalf of the Home Builders’ and said the city isn’t managing these fees properly, suggesting that about $18 million collected over recent years remains in reserves and hasn’t been spent to the benefit of citizens. He also, through a long and complicated story, criticized the way the city handled development fees collected for the construction of the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre.

“The purpose of development charges is to pay for growth,” he said. “You have to make a plan on how these funds are taken care of.”

The delegation seemed to offend Mayor Taso Christopher, who later in the meeting, explained that development charges are tools that municipalities can use to ease the struggle of paying for infrastructure, that otherwise would be paid fully by taxpayers.

“I don’t need a builder to come to the po-

dium and tell me what to do with municipal taxes ... I don’t tell them what to do with their profits,” he said.

The comments drew an audible snort of “pffft!” from one representative of the Home Builders sitting in the public gallery.

During committee of the whole, council voted to support the resolution that was prepared by staff -- but that only happened after three attempts to amend the resolution failed.

Councillor Kelly McCaw attempted to amend the resolution so that the development charges would be frozen over the next five years. She argued that Belleville is at risk of losing growth to Quinte West, where development charges and municipal taxes are lower.

“We’ll watch our largest industry, in my opinion, walk over to Quinte West.” Only Coun. Mitch Panciuk joined McCaw in support of the amendment, so it was defeated.

Coun. Jack Miller then suggested a amendment to have the development charges phased in over five years. That motion was also defeated.

Mayor Taso Christopher then suggested an amendment to have the development charges come into effect immediately (or to eliminate the three-year phase in plan that city staff recommended.)

That attempt angered Panciuk. He said such a suggestion was “like rubbing salt into the wounds.”

Christopher defended his motion, saying that development charges are tools municipalities can and should use to ease costs for taxpayers.

“It’s not rubbing salt ... that’s childish,” he said.

When that motion failed, council finally voted on the original motion and it passed, with only McCaw and Panciuk opposing.

Young ballet students wow large audiences

By Jack Evans Hundreds of people Saturday from across the Quinte area got to see firsthand why students from Quinte Ballet School are often picked by major advanced dance schools or even professional dance companies across Canada and internationally.

The QBS Christmas season show, titled “Holiday Dance Presents” (Think presents under the tree) drew a crowd estimated at around 600 in Centennial Secondary School auditorium.

Their performance added some clever spins on traditional music and choreography for the iconic “Nutcracker” ballet by Tchaikowsky.

There was no strange uncle and his magic nutcracker gift, or battle between Rat King and nutcracker prince or visits to faraway lands, but it opened with a visually stunning large Christmas tree and gaily wrapped presents with excited children opening them and showing them off in a number called “Checking them Twice.”

Then came another traditional Nutcracker theme, re-titled “Snow.” Frilly white satin gowns with a snowfall effect on the background screen helped create the joy of playing in falling snow, with choreography adapted by Quinte Ballet School Artistic Director Catherine Taylor. Featured soloist for the 1 p.m. show was Sylvia Berman. Ayako Fukuyama

was featured for the 4 p.m. show. There was also an ensemble cast, in most dances comprising both professional and recreation school students.

With red parasols spinning like wagon wheels, the Chinese Dance, again from the Nutcracker, was delightful. Dancers were Annabelle Holland, Kathryn Lees, Chloe Lilghtfoot, Grace McNutt, Meghan Walton and Lauren Wilson. A very physically demanding duet was offered in the traditional Arabian Dance

by Ayako Fukuyama and William Steers at 1 p.m., Sylvia Berman and Peter-Nicholas Taylor at 4 p.m.

Music for the Mirletrons from the “Nutcracker” became a delightful “Young Girls with the Little Lambs”

number involving the youngest children in the recreation program, including one little boy dressed as a black lamb who almost stole the show. Cute costumes were an audience hit for all, as well.

A colourful and physical trio of Stephen Allan, William Steers and PeterNicholas Taylor offered the Russian Dance with colourful red, blue and purple costumes.

Red and black costumes and large fans marked the Spanish dance with the strong overtones of castinets in the accompanying music.

Dual casts were offered for the two shows in “Dance of the Gingerbreads,” using Austrian-theme costumes and dance styles in a gingerbread shade of sepia.

For the 1 p.m. show, Sylvia Berman was soloists for the famous “Sugar Plum Fairy “ dance, and did it beautifully, with Ayako Fukuyama starring at 4 p.m.

Rich colours in costumes and a stage full of colour and movement marked the closing two pieces, “Waltz of the Flowers” and “ Carol of the Bells,” essentially a curtain call with dance and music set to the famous Yule carol tune.

The school‘s next big show will be its spring pre-graduation show. No doubt many of those who attended one of Saturday’s performances will be thinking they want a second helping by then.

This show indicates that Belleville’s world famous Quinte Ballet School is alive and well and still living here, a cultural treasure for the entire community.

65th annual Kiwanis luncheon raises more than $100,000 for Salvation Army

By Erin Stewart Trenton - The Trenton Kiwanis Club’s Salvation Army luncheon raised $100,660 for the Salvation Army’s family and community services on Friday Dec. 11.

“It was a great success, we beat last year’s goal,” said Christian JaehnKreibaum, former president and present secretary for Trenton’s Kiwanis Club. “There was lots of laughter and it was very well received among all people.”

A sold out crowd of around 180 people attended the luncheon and were entertained by MC John Lewis and his sometimes “colourful language,” as Jaehn-Kreibaum described it.

Tickets cost $50 to attend the event

and include a turkey dinner. Raffle tickets were sold, a live auction generated large donations and people got out their chequebooks, with cheques up to $5,000 this year, to support Trenton’s Salvation Army.

“We always beat the previous year,” Jaehn-Kreibaum said. “We know what kind of people write cheques and we keep inviting them,” he laughs.

Jaehn-Kreibaum said this year was even better than last year; everyone is always in a good mood and the room full of laughter. This year’s event also included a speech about the late Hugh O’Neil, to talk about everything O’Neil did for the Kiwanis Club, the community and his efforts towards the Trenton Memorial Hospital right up until the time of his death.

The funds raised will stay in the community. Trenton Salvation Army’s Major Steve Manuel said the Kiwanis Club’s contribution makes up the majority of their yearly funds.

“It’s a phenomenal fundraiser for us and a huge chunk of our budget to do what we do here,” Manuel said.

The Salvation Army is preparing roughly 600 food boxes for families in need over the Christmas season.

The funds will also go towards keeping the shelves stocked throughout the year for the daily food bank and lunch program.

“It’s a tremendous community to serve in,” said Manuel. “Year in and year out they’ve proven to me time and time again that this is a very generous community.”

ATESS replaces Hon. Col. Read with Hon. Col. Ippolito

By Ross Lees

“So many specialized trades with unique and different skill, officers having engineering degrees, masters of engineering and doctors of engineering – a very skilled group indeed,” he said of the squadron personnel.

His lasting memory of the squadron was their willingness to get involved or support a new idea, regardless of time or place.

“That’s what I remember about our 212 members at ATESS – you get things done!” he said.

Hon.-Col. Read had words of praise

for ATESS Commanding Officer Lt.Col. Gaumond also.

“You are my last CO that I have the privilege of working with and you are a true leader, fair and firm. Your focus and determination to get it right along with your superb command and control are second to none. It was a real privilege to work with you,” he stated.

Hon. Col. Ippolito said he was proud, humbled and extremely honoured to become the squadron’s new Honorary Colonel and that he would strive to achieve the same level of

commitment to the squadron as Hon. plored ATESS personnel to reach out Col. Read. He said his predecessor any time as he endeavoured to learn had passed on impressive informa- from the unit and to pass those lessons tion about ATESS indicating the Air on to the broader community.

Aerospace and Telecommunications Engineering Support Squadron (ATESS) may not go for quantity when it comes to appointing Honorary Colonels (Hon. Col.) but they certainly strive for quality.

ATESS replaced only their second Honorary Colonel ever – Hon. Col. Brian Read – with Hon. Col. David Ippolito on Dec. 7 and he wasted little time joining forces with Hon. Col. Read to leave a lasting impression with the squadron.

DEBIT AT Even as Hon. Col. Read was finishTHE DOOR ing his departure speech, the two men announced the creation of a new mascot for ATESS which drew words of praise and appreciation from Squadron Commanding Officer LieutenantColonel (Lt.-Col.) Marie-Claude Gaumond.

“ATESS rocks and now we have the mascot to prove it. I can guarantee you we will take it with us wherever we go. It will always be there to keep OPEN us all together,” she said in thanking CHRISTMAS the two men for their animated gift.

St. Paul’s defeats THS in boys’ basketball action

By Erin Stewart

Trenton - Trenton rivals St. Paul’s and Trenton High faced off against each other in two games dominated by the Falcon’s on Dec. 8.

The Falcon’s junior and senior boys applied full court pressure and earned considerable leads that could not be matched by the Tiger’s. The final score for the junior game was 64-15 for the Falcons, lead by Liam Comeau and Nick Martin with 17 and 12 points, while Refausse paced the THS squad with 6 points.

The Falcon’s junior boy’s have a 3-1 record so far this season, with a three game win streak against ENSS, Quinte Secondary and Trenton High.

On the senior’s side, the final score was 6936 for the Falcon’s. Andrew White and Tyler Power lead the Falcon’s with 24 and 20 points and Andrew Merry lead the Tiger’s with 12. Trenton High’s Tyler Wallis, #55, goes up for a shot but is Both teams came into the game looking to se- blocked by St. Paul’s Jayden Hamilton, #23, and Tyler Power, cure their first win of the season. #21, during the senior boys game at St. Paul’s.

By Erin Stewart Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks now sit at the very top of the Canadian Junior Hockey League, a very comfortable spot to be in over Christmas break.

The Hawks just can’t be beat and their record continues to climb ahead of teams in the Ontario Junior Hockey League. With recent wins against Aurora and Stouffville last week, the Hawks now sit at an extremely impressive 282-1-1 record.

“I’m ecstatic that we are ranked number one, this is the second time we’ve been ranked number one this year,” said John McDonald, director of hockey operations. “They don’t give out championships in December, they’re given out in April so let’s hope we are still number one

come April and then I’ll celebrate.”

McDonald credits the Hawks’ teamwork and chemistry for their fantastic season.

“We just have an unbelievable group of young men who believe in each other and they all have each others backs,” McDonald said. “We have a lot of depth this year, something we haven’t had in other years… this year we seem to have 20 guys that can rise to the occasion on any given night.”

Battling the Hawks for the top spot are the Penticton Vees of the British Columbia Hockey League. In a press release, the Canadian Junior Hockey League said it looks like this will be a long-term battle for the two teams once the second part of the season picks up in the new year.

The Hawks’ first game back on the ice will be at home against Pickering on Saturday, Jan. 2.

Warm weather causing concerns for ski season in Batawa

Batawa – While many people may be enjoying the unseasonably warm temperatures we’ve experienced so far this December, it’s ruining plans for the Batawa Ski Hill.

Staff at the ski hill say Mother Nature is not cooperating with their efforts to make snow so far this year.

The team has only been able to turn on the snow guns three nights so far this season.

“All of the equipment is in place and as soon as the temperature dips below zero, we will get back to work making snow,” the Ski Hill said in a statement.

“The crew is ready to do whatever it takes to get the Ski Hill open. The usual snow-making plan utilizes stateof-the-art equipment in an efficient pattern on multiple runs at the same time. This, along with favourable conditions, has allowed the Ski Hill to open with 100 per cent coverage on all the runs for the last two years.

“This year we have changed our plan and we will concentrate efforts on

one run at a time. This will allow us to open one run, then the next and so on. It will require moving guns around more and is less efficient, but it is the quickest way to get people on the Ski Hill.”

Staff say they hope the ski hill will open for the season by Saturday, Dec. 19.

“We are watching the thermometer closely and we will make snow as soon as we get a four-hour window with below zero temperatures. We need all skiers and snowboarders to do their best snow dances and to be extra creative with their snow rituals this year.”

Batawa Ski Hill will use email blasts, Facebook, Twitter and its website, www.batawaskihill.com. to keep everyone informed on the progress.

To avoid the line on opening day, Season Pass Holders can get their passes printed at the Chalet Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information call 613-398-6568 or email gm@batawaskihill.com

Red Devils – Midgets make it to semis in Gold Puck

ETA Midget All-Star Game Last weekend, seven members of the McInroyMaines Midget Red Devils played in the annual ETA Midget All-Star Game in Orillia. Mackenzie Warren, Colin VanDenHurk, Nick Hoey, Greg Powles, Greg Thomas, Anthony Bertucca, and Sheby Reinstra represented the ETA East in a tight 5-4 loss to the western All-Stars. Behind the bench were Head Coach Ben Hagerman, and assistant coach Curtis Brandt.

McInroy-Maines Construction – Midgets The McInroy-Maines Construction Ltd Quinte Red Devils Midgets competed this past weekend Dec. 11-13 at the Waterloo Gold Puck Hockey Tournament. The Midgets made a strong presence bowing out in the semi-final game against the Oakville Rangers 5-2. The semi-finals were comprised of 4 teams from the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (3 from the ETA – Quinte, Markham, and North Central and 1 from the SCTA Oakville) demonstrating the OMHA having very strong content within the Ontario Hockey Federation. The Midgets had 4 Wins, no losses and no ties in round-robin play.

Forestell, and Tim Morton. Helpers were from Greg Powles, Dawson Ellis, Greg Thomas, Shelby Rienstra, Ryan Fraser, Logan Drew, and Morton. The team welcomed back Ryan Fraser from injury and his play and determination proved to inspire the team along. Sean Storr was awarded the win in net.

Game 2 The McInroy-Maines Midgets etched out another 4-2 win against Cambridge Hawks in the Friday evening affair. Goals from Tanner Sheppard, Brock Bronson, Rienstra, and Thomas powered the team along with assists from Billy Finney, Nick Hoey, Bronson and Powles. Anthony Bertucca was provided with the win in net.

Game 3 Facing perennial nemesis, the Toronto Marlboros, the 1st game of Saturday for the Devils was an eventful tilt. Sean Storr, square to the puck all game long would stop all shots faced earning a 1-0 shutout. A power play marker in the middle frame by Sheppard from Hoey proved to be the winner. A strong forecheck also prevented Game 1 the Marlies from gaining an effective attack and A 4-2 win over the Huron-Perth Lakers with providing great entertainment to all in attengoals from Colin Vandenhurk (2), Brandon dance. The win against the Marlies earned a trip

to the semi-finals and division lead.

Game 4 Anthony Bertucca earned the shutout in game 2 of Saturday’s round-robin play, 2-0. Goals from Thomas and Powles were supported by assists from Domenic Della Civita, and Powles.

The players were disciplined in play this game and they strived to ensure good play the following day in the semis.

Game 5 (Semi-final Game) Oakville Rangers came out to an early 2 goal lead before Sheppard tallied to make it 2-1 with assists from Mackenzie Warren and Bronson. A very close affair with teams playing back and forth, trading goals in the second with Sheppard tallying his second of the game and 4th of the tournament. Oakville’s forecheck allowed them to gain a 4th goal in the 3rd period and despite the Devils mounting an attack, an empty net goal by Oakville sealed the win at 5-2. Storr took the loss despite strong play in net.

The next home league game is Friday night, December 18th at 8:00pm at Yardmen versus Whitby Wildcats. The Devils sit currently in 1st place in the ETA East.

Quinte Irish Canadian Society celebrates an Irish Christmas

By Terry McNamee Irish culture is alive and well in Belleville and area, thanks in large part to the Quinte Irish Canadian Society.

The group recently held its annual Christmas dinner at the Belleville Shrine Club Hall. The event attracted what may have been a record turnout.

“We had 111 people attend,” said club president Wilfred Gaube. “It is the most that I remember in the years that I have been involved.”

Before dinner, a mix of traditional Irish and Christmas music was played by the Quinte Irish Seisiun Players, a group with members from throughout the area, playing a variety of instruments, including fiddles, flutes, bodrans (Irish hand drums) and whistles.

“After dinner, we had Martin Smit, a member of the Celtic/folk group Seventh Town, lead us in a Christmas carol sing along,” Gaube said.

The evening ended with a wonderful demonstration of Irish dancing by members of the Belleville branch of the Kelly School of Irish Dance. The dancers, outfitted in their competition dresses, ranged in age from preschoolers to teenagers.

The Quinte Irish Canadian Society was founded in 1979 to promote interest in Irish culture. Its mission is to preserve and transmit Irish music, singing and dance though lectures, concerts, socials, plays and classes. Irish ancestry is not a requirement to become a member. Membership is $15 for individuals ($10 for seniors) and $25 for families.

Club 39 enriches area hospices

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

At the club’s Christmas Dinner Dance on Dec. 11, Club 39 presented each of four local hospices with a $500 donation from money raised at its dances. This is the third year for such.

At the Dec. 11 dance, presentations were made to Hospice Quinte- Belleville; Heart of Hastings Hospice- Madoc; Hospice Lennox & Addington –Napanee and to Hospice Prince Edward- Picton. Representatives from the hospices were on hand to accept the donations.

The Ontario Economic Update 2016 was released recently by the Ontario Chamber and Credit Unions of Ontario, with support from the Quinte West and Belleville Chambers of Commerce. The forecast is described as the most wide-reaching provincial economic forecast of the year.

Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) residential sales in the Quinte region are up 20 per cent, compared to a provincial average of 9.4 per cent. Meanwhile, the MLS® residential average sale price is up about five per cent in the Quinte region.

Belleville and Quinte West are located in the Statistics Canada economic region of Kingston-Pembroke, which has had a difficult 2015, and is expected to experience a 3.4 per cent decline in employment. However, the region is expected to regain form in the coming years, with employment projected to grow by 2 per cent a year through 2017.

Housing will continue to be a source of economic growth with more sales and new construction and higher prices, the report says. Meanwhile, the Quinte Region’s manufacturing base should benefit from an improving external economic backdrop, including a lower Canadian dollar and higher U.S. economic growth. Ongoing low oil prices are a positive for consumers and businesses as are low interest rates. Improved growth in Ontario’s economy will also contribute to the region’s growth in 2016 and 2017.

According to the province-wide data, most areas of Ontario will enjoy improving economic conditions Please see “Housing” on page 3

LHIN CEO says time for ‘culture change’ in health care

By Stephen Petrick Belleville – A lengthy board meeting for the South East Local Health Integration Network turned dramatic Monday, when the topic of performance targets

for health organizations came up.

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

viders should have measurable performance goals and face some type of consequence if they’re not met.

The discussion came during a section of the day-long meeting when the board began discuss-

ing an Auditor General’s report which ranked performances of the province’s LHINs. The South East LHIN – an organization that oversees health care organizations in Southeast Ontario, including Quinte Health Care – ranked tied for fourth among 14 LHINs in Ontario, the board was told.

Part of the problem, Huras said, is that the South East LHIN doesn’t have the ability to demand that health care providers meet its expectations and, in some cases, the goals of an individual organization’s board are different from the goals of the South East LHIN board.

Although a hospital CEO’s salary could be linked to performance expectations, those expectations could be different

than the ones the LHIN see as most important.

That’s something the Ministry of Health will eventually have to address, Huras said.

“There’s no other word (to use) than ‘tougher,’” Huras said, speaking of the need for expectations. “There has to be consequences for not meeting targets.

“We may not get to the (United Kingdom) model where heads roll if you don’t perform, but we may. This is a huge amount of money (that the province is spending on health care). There should be outcomes.”

The issue arose in a section of the meeting that was for information purposes, but board chair Donna Segal said it’s an issue the board will have to continue to discus.

“It’s a disappointing report,” she said. “It’s disappointing for us. It requires a mind shift.”

However, she noted that many other LHINs are dealing with the same concerns.

The same report gave the South East LHIN a failing grade on how it handles MRI services, with a score of 49 per cent, the board was told. Yet that grade was the highest in the province, Segal pointed out.

Board member Brian Smith agreed it’s time for health organizations to have targets that they’re expected to meet.

“It’s nice to see people meeting targets. Otherwise why do we have targets?” he asked, rhetorically. “The public today is much more accepting of that than they would have been a couple years ago.”

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

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

They have racked up rave

reviews from almost every major blues, roots, and rock n’ roll publication and have 12 Maple Blues award nominations and a Juno nomination for Blues Album of Year.

When describing The 24th Street Wailers, Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd), host of the House of Blues Radio Hour, said their music “is just great, gritty, fun, live stuff!”

ers will take to the stage of the Stirling Festival Theatre with the members of the award-winning CDHS Jazz Band to raise funds for the Campbellford Memorial Hospital’s Angels of Care Campaign.

This is a return performance for The Wailers who supported the fundraiser in 2014.

The CDHS Jazz Band under the direction of teacher Dave Noble, is recognized as one of Canada’s

finest student jazz groups and has won almost every award around, including 25 national gold awards.

Graduates of the CDHS music program can be found in Toronto jazz clubs, the Canadian Opera Company, and at North American post-secondary institutions including McGill University, Humber College, MIT, and the University of Nevada in Las Vegas.

Previous CDHS Jazz Band fundraising concerts have raised almost $20,000 for the hospital and seen the band perform with Jeff Healey, the Downchild Blues Band, Hilario Duran, and Denny Christianson.

Tickets for the concert are $20 for adults or $15 for students.

They are available from the Stirling Festival Theatre box office or online at <www.stirlingfestivaltheatre.com>.

Hospital cafeterias closing Cafeterias are closing down at some Quinte Health Care hospitals, Metroland Media has learned.

A memo was sent to all QHC staff recently, announcing the closure of the cafeterias at Prince Edward County Memorial and Trenton Memorial hospitals.

The Auxillary cafes at Prince Edward and TMH will still serve drinks and sandwiches.

The cafeterias will be closed by March 7, 2016.

At Belleville General Hospital, the cafeteria will be replaced by a retail food operation, which will by run by Compass, the company which currently operates the QHC cafeterias.

QHC says they had to subsidize the cafeterias, at a loss of $120,000 annually but it was noted there will be no job losses in the changes.

Students win as Learning Foundation celebrates successful year

The directors of The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation made a presentation to the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board for $533,870 at the foundation’s recent annual general meeting.

This represented the support provided to HPEDSB students over the past year. In total, The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation provided $1,240,911 in support to students in South East Ontario during the 2014-15 fiscal year.

Accepting the cheque on behalf of HPEDSB were Trustee Vice-Chair Lucille Kyle, and Director of Education Mandy Savery-Whiteway, from Learning Foundation Chair Geoff Cudmore and Treasurer Dave Clazie.Also celebrated at the meeting was the funding of the Fun FRIENDS Program.

The Learning Foundation provided a gift of $19,000 to support this program for both the public board and the Algonquin & Lakeshore Catho-

lic District School Board students in Hastings and Prince Edward counties.

The Fun FRIENDS Program is a universal program that supports the treatment and prevention of childhood anxiety in 4-7 year olds. It focuses on increasing social-emotional skills, coping skills and resilience to prevent the onset of emotional and behavioural problems in later life.

Finally, directors of The Learning Foundation heard firsthand accounts of how their work positively impacted student lives.

North Hastings High School principal Ken Dostaler, and Trenton High principal Ken Manderville, shared their stories for both the Student Emergency Fund and the Food for Learning programs.

They noted that programs such as these, which allow for caring and kindness in a respectful manner, truly make a difference for some of our most vulnerable and marginalized children and youth.

Trenton man wins $100,000

By Erin Stewart

Trenton - Michael Dingee of Trenton won $100,000 when his ENCORE selection matched six of seven winning numbers on LOTTO MAX’s Dec. 4, draw.

“My wife and sister-in-law were on the computer checking the numbers and discovered we had a winning ticket,” shared Michael, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his windfall. “When they told me, I didn’t believe them. Even though I’m an IT consultant, I didn’t trust the computer!”

Dingee is from Trenton but the winning ticket wasn’t purchased in his hometown. The ticket was purchased at Grace Convenience on Pharmacy Avenue in Toronto.

He told OLG he plans to use his winnings to pay off his bills, help out his children and top up his RRSP’s.

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

OPINION

Murphy’s not just a law – it’s a tree too.

A pathetic one!

My kids and I still laugh about Murphy the Christmas Tree.

That’s Murphy as in Murphy’s Law – “Anything that can possibly go wrong, does.”

It was a week or so from Christmas, some years back, when we lived on a lovely 42-acre farm on the outskirts of Stirling. For reasons now lost to the mists of time, we’d left getting a Christmas tree uncharacteristically late that year.

Oh, I suppose we could have gone traipsing around in the woodlot in the back of the property and found a withered little spruce or stunted pine, but since the previous owners had let one of those woodlot bandits come in and rape the woods for all usable hardwood for a pittance of a quick-buck cheque, the bush had little in the way of usable trees from which to choose – the pines had all been trampled and flattened when they skidded out all the maple, oak and ironwood trees the bandits wanted.

So, race we did into Belleville to hit Switzer’s – Belleville’s go-to tree lot

for the desperate and the discerning alike.

I had some history with the Switzer lot, having befriended patriarch, the grizzled Alfred Switzer, back in the early 80s when Alfred lived in his trailer for three weeks a year in the lot near our apartment at Albert & Dundas Streets.

Alfred, who kept his drinking water in a milk can outside the trailer and a wad of cash hidden under his pillow inside – protected by an ax handle and an iron bar, lest thieves try their luck – was camped out one particularly miserable winter and I asked him if he needed to use our facilities, come in for a wash or to use the phone. Invited him in for a pot roast dinner, one Sunday, too. He repaid me with some lovely jars of jugged trout that his wife prepared – lake trout caught near his place outside Bancroft.

Alfred was quite a character on the woodlot, always flirting with women but never haggling with the men – hell, he never gave me much of a deal on a tree, come to think of it, but we always

got a photo of him, son Connie or his grandson in the paper when they rolled into town with their trees each year.

I digress.

On this Sunday, just days out from Christmas, I gathered up my daughters and we raced into town to see what Switzer might have left on the lot. That is, we would have had he not packed up the day before and dragged his hockey sock full of city slicker tree money back north with him.

Panicked, I raced down to see if the Kiwanians had any left at their lot at Dewe’s. Nada. They’d packed up, too.

Thinking we’d have to lop down a full-sized pine on the farm and trim off the top five feet, I roared over to the scary lot that used to set up shop on College Street, across from Quinte SS. Literally, there were three Charlie Brown rejects shivering their needles off on the lot this day and the lot boss was getting ready to toss them in his truck and get himself into a good double rum `n Coke somewhere.

As we pulled up, some of Belleville’s, er, finer citizens came peeling in in a

taxi, scrambling too for a tree. Not fussy, but clutching cash, they made for the only decent specimen of the sorry lot left on the lot just as we did the same.

It was a standoff.

Our man, Shylock, who was running the lot could smell a triple-rum winner-winner-chicken-dinner coming out of this clutch of desperados, so the bidding war began. We won by dint of a fiver more I had in my jeans and I strapped the pathetic sapling to the roof of the Jeep with bungees.

Feeling like we’d at least salvaged a (semi) live tree for Christmas, off up Highway 62 we roared.

That is, until I looked in the rear-view just in time to see Murphy cartwheel through the air, landing in a shower of dead needles directly in front of a swerving half-ton behind us.

Skreeeeeeeech!

Reverse, rush out into traffic to rescue the now skid-burned bundle of twigs and lash the whole sorry mess back to the roof.

Oh, the reception we got at home was

Chris Malette one for the books.

Up went Murphy, but no end of turning it could hide the road rash or broken branches, but we made do.

My girls are 24 and 30 now.

We still remember that day – and Murphy – over a laugh and an eggnog whenever their busy paths cross enough with ours to get home for Christmas.

Here’s hoping you and yours and your Murphy are ready for Christmas!

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth: Two Christmas cactus stories

All of the shops are chock-a-block with Christmas plants, from poinsettia to mistletoe to hellebores and even cactus. I confess, Gentle Reader, that my cynical side sometime emerges amidst the retail rush and these lovely flowers become nothing more than a product on the shelf; a trinket used to decorate the parlour a la Martha Stewart and then tossed in the trash shortly after New Year’s Day, if they survive that long.

Yet, I love flowers and enjoy their presence in our home, although if you must know, my track record with houseplants is not good at all.

We have some peace lilies that are hanging in there after a few years of my special care, a collection of dead cactus which did not survive a few years of my special care and, in a corner behind the dining room table, some soil-filled pots with stems so withered I can’t even identify them.

Over the years only one plant amongst those mentioned seems to rise above the others. It is not the poinsettia even though it has become the number one selling Christmas plant in North America.

(Actually, we have two large pots of the Cortez variety with its burgundy

bracts instead of the more common bright red leaves decorating our living room.)

Mistletoe is an interesting plant; a parasite that takes its sustenance from whatever tree or shrub an obliging avian vector passes by. It has an important niche in environmental diversity but its importance as a Christmas plant is novel at best.

Hellebores, aka Christmas Rose and Easter Rose, is best suited as an outdoor plant in the perennial garden. However, some will be in bloom over Christmas time in our hoop houses and might make it to the retail counter; certainly, some shops will be offering it as a flowering houseplant. The good thing about it is that it is very easy to care for until warmer spring temperatures allow for outside planting.

The Christmas cactus, arguably the most unprepossessing of the lot, seems to be the most enduring. I have yet to hear anyone talk about inheriting their Grandmother’s poinsettia. Betty’s mother did inherit the care of her mother-in-law’s Christmas cactus in due time and nurtured them for decades.

I remember two enamelled milk pails (circa 1930s) each with a

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

clump of ugly, flat, mantis-green, crab-like tentacle-y things residing in the corner of the farm’s root cellar. When I became a part of the family, it seemed to be my job to bring them outside in the warmer weather, for quite few seasons.

Somehow, those ugly lumps of plant produced the most exquisite blossoms, emerging from tentacle tips just in time for Christmas. I had my first lesson in the role of a family’s heritage that a plant can assume. It was very easy to look at those flowers and imagine our parents and grandparents tending that same plant and the Christmases shared.

Today, during a Christmas concert at our church, our dear friend Neva told a story about her Christmas cactus. Everyone has sad times and often we don’t quite know what to do. Well, Neva and her family experienced that last year and her friend, Sue, gave her a plant. (Sue is a clever lass and knew what to do.)

Neva spoke of the friendship and comfort she received but she also expressed her concern about being able to care for this plant. Sometimes, GR, we don’t realise the burden we might place on someone

when we give them a live plant.

Neva cared for her wee treasure with hope, a lot of reading about how to care for a Christmas cactus and a bit of fear; not wanting to kill it.

Well, today that same plant was presented to us in full bloom! Lesson number two for me: plants have tremendous healing properties far beyond any pharmaceutical purpose.

We can’t change what has happened and it often is small comfort to offer verbal platitudes during difficult times. At Christmas time, sad times can be more poignant, more heartbreaking as the griever is surrounded by such joy and anticipation that they feel even more isolated.

However, Sue’s gift to Neva of this living, growing plant was an expression of concern and love that embraced both the giver and the receiver. Today, that joy and love embraced all of us who heard the story.

Gentle Reader, this might not be the prettiest of the Christmas plants, but I do see its beauty in the hearts and souls of my friends. Those Cortez poinsettias in our house will surely be noticed; the cactus might not but rest assured, it will be there.

I will think of Neva and Sue and our families and I will smile.

Hunter Pace/Trail Ride event supports Wheels of Hope All the participants made a special effort to be dressed up for the competition, with prizes going to those with the best costumes. Following the ride a barbeque was held and prizes were awarded.

Wheels of Hope is a program that has volunteer drivers take cancer patients to hospitals, sometimes as far away as Kingston and Ottawa.

Twenty per cent of cancer patients could not get to cancer treatments without the Wheels of Hope program, the CCS says. Funds raised from the event will help cover these travel costs.

R0013600789

Foxboro – A hunter pace/trail ride event held last summer ended up raising $1,186.28 for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels for Hope program.

The 2015 Hunter Pace/Trail Ride was held in August at the Double Q Farm. Organizers were Hilda and Johan Bos and Susan Way. Forty-six riders travelled a distance of 8 or 16 kilometres on privately owned trails throughout Quinte West. The organizers are grateful for the landowners, volunteers, sponsors and participants, who made it a wonderful day.
