Christmas Dinner for people in need in Trenton

By Erin Stewart

Trenton - “My family asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said that I wanted absolutely nothing except help down here,” a beaming Rosemary Sharpe said. “This is my Christmas present to me.” Sharpe’s wish came true when her Christmas Dinner was a success at the Trenton Legion on Christmas day. Around 200 people in need were served homemade turkey and ham dinners at two sittings, one from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. and the other from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sharpe said she came up with the idea to provide meals to people in need in Quinte West after noticing a need in the area. She said she works four jobs in the community and, while she is out at all hours of the night, she sees people in need. “I see people who don’t have places to go, don’t have food, they’re sleeping on the streets,” Sharpe said. “Christmas is a sad time and a happy time for people, so in order to bring the community together this is something that popped into my head.” Sharpe wanted to make Christmas an easier time for people in the community because, “when they have to choose between giving a meal to their family at Christmas time or buying

gifts, that’s not right,” she said. She took action by writing a letter to Quinte West’s city council and said she got a lot of support right away, especially by Councillor David McCue, who also helped to organize the event. Mayor Jim Harrison attended the dinner to lend a helping hand and said Sharpe’s dinner is a great example of the wonderful things that happen in the community.

“It’s great, anything we can do as a group to help support our community,” said Mayor Jim Harrison. “We want everyone to have a good day, a good Christmas, and to feel welcome in out community, that’s what we’re doing.” Around 70 volunteers prepared and served food, including Quite West firefighters, the mayor, councillors and Sharpe’s mother, two daughters,

aunts and cousins also volunteered to help make Sharpe’s Christmas wish come true. Sharpe was sponsored by the Quite West firefighters stations two and five, Ray Kaufmann Law Office in memory of Marg Potts, Gold Chase and Dorothy Mays. The Trenton Legion donated the space and the Trenton Food Bank donated food and gave out tickets for the dinner

to people in need in the community. Trenton’s Salvation Army donated toys and also gave tickets to community members in need and Smylie’s Independent Grocery sold items at a discounted price to help make the day possible. Sharpe said she would like to do it all again next year on Christmas and is hoping more people will have access to a Christmas dinner.

Our TMH optimistic about the New Year

By Erin Stewart

Is the Trenton Health Centre in the cards for 2016? Our TMH, the very vocal grassroots advocacy group for Trenton Memorial Hospital, is certainly setting its sights on it. “We are looking forward to the new year,” said Mike Cowan, co-chair of Our TMH. “We’re in a much better position right now than what we were this time last year, this time last year they were just about ready to close it (TMH) down.” Our TMH started with a group of passionate people who wanted to keep TMH open and stop cuts to service at the hospital. After months of researching and listening to the community, Our TMH brought forward to Quinte Health Care a plan to create a TMH-based integrated health centre. Our TMH members also sat on the Brighton and Quinte West Health Services Committee, formed by MPP Lou Rinaldi. The committee came up with eight recommendations, co-locating health services at TMH being one of them. At the latest Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) meeting on Dec. 14, the LHIN approved a plan to explore the possibility of a Trenton Health Centre. The LHIN is planning on putting together a task force to look into the Trenton Health Centre and Cowan said Our TMH put in a request on Dec. 15 to be part of that committee but has not had a response yet. “That’s going to be very important,” Cowan said about Our TMH members sitting on the LHINS proposed task force. “That’s the main thing right

now… it’s going to take a little bit of time, I know they want to get it up and going in January.” Cowan said Our TMH and the Brighton and Quinte West Health Services Committee recommendations have been adopted by the LHIN, so now it’s time to watch and wait to see what kind of implications are going to take place. “It’s a case of where we know we’ve been listened to, right across the Province,” said Cowan. “Let’s see what

the other players are going to do, let’s see them do their job also and that’s what we are looking forward to.” The task force will be lead by the LHIN, not Quinte Health Care, said Cowan. “I’m just completely enthralled with the amount of support we’ve had from the community, we’ve got a lot of great people on the Our TMH team,” Cowan said. “I’m looking forward to the new year of course… I’m very optimistic.” R0013614719

Five options for Belleville to fill void left by Bulls

Belleville - The city’s Yardmen Arena has now gone half a hockey season without a chief tenant, a sad state of affairs for former Belleville Bulls fans still reeling from the loss of the Ontario Hockey League franchise. But city officials, including Mayor Taso Christopher, have said there’s been “phenomenal interest” in the arena, as several sports groups have contacted the city expressing interest in placing a team there. Those discussions have not been made public yet and city officials have been tightlipped about what’s going on behind closed doors. But here are a few leagues that could potentially have a franchise in Belleville in the near future and the pros and cons of each idea. Let’s hope the city is listening.

Allan Cup Hockey league: This league is essentially an Ontario Hockey League AAA senior loop and it’s the modern equivalent to the league the once proud -- and once World Champion -- Belleville McFarlands played in. This year the league has six teams from Southern Ontario. Pros: The McFarlands connection would be great from a marketing perspective and it’s good hockey, as some teams have former NHL players or junior hockey stars. Cons: It’s a glorified beer league for working men, so players and franchises tend to come and go. It would be difficult to build a proud, long-standing franchise. North Atlantic Professional Hockey League: A group trying to start this new league has reportedly contacted Belleville to see

about starting a franchise here. The league has also reportedly looked at the community of Norwood for a team, as it recently lost its Allan Cup franchise, the Vipers. This could set up a geographical rivalry. Pros: It’s better than nothing. Cons: It’s unclear how successful this venture would be. The league’s Facebook page says it had hoped to launch for the 2014-2015 season but had to cancel. Virtually nothing’s been posted on the page since and the league’s website, though very hard to find, is dated and looks unprofessional. It doesn’t look like a league that’s ready to go. Federal Hockey League: In 2011, this league was looking at Napanee as a franchise, but the idea was quashed when the town’s junior hockey team showed resistance. Yet, a few years later, this league is going strong with six teams in the northern United States, spanning from New England to Illinois. Pros: The league is well established and tends to draw crowds comparable to a Junior A team. It may not be starstudded hockey, but it’s probably decent entertainment. Cons: It would be tough for a FHL team in Belleville to make enough revenue to pay players and pay for the lengthy road trips that would be necessary to play in this league. Ontario Junior Hockey League: If Belleville can’t have an OHL team, the next obvious alternative is the OJHL, which is the second highest level of Junior hockey in Ontario. The league has 22 teams, most of which are in communities similar to Belleville’s size. Pros: The Yardmen may be too small for the OHL’s liking, but it would be fine for an OJHL franchise. All the existing infrastructure is in place to make a team work here. All that’s needed is a willing owner.

Cons: Quinte may not be able to support a third team in this league, as franchises exist in Trenton and Wellington. Empire B Junior C Hockey League: This league has six teams spanning from Port Hope to Gananoque. It’s two steps below the OHL. Pros: Belleville is a great fit

geographically for this league and a team wouldn’t require an owner with deep pockets. It would also provide more opportunity for teenaged junior players. Cons: It’s not as high calibre as the OHL or Junior A which fans in this area are accustomed to. My opinion: Minor pro teams

rarely work in small communities over the long term, while junior leagues are more viable because they don’t require players to be paid. The best bet for Belleville is the return of Allan Cup hockey. Junior A or Junior C can be looked at as alternatives in case that plan doesn’t work out.

from her account at the bank, Joan is now out $900. “It could have been worse,” she said. “They asked me to try again with $2,500. I stopped at that point and called police.” Police told the woman it was a classic phone fraud and, while they took down the particulars, there is little to nothing that can be done as the thieves are working offshore and are next to impossible to track down. “I guess I just want to warn people, this is out there, preying on people like me. It’s embarrassing, but people should be aware.”

OPINION

Afghanistan: Going down If the Taliban were not so busy fighting the rival Islamic State jihadis who began operating in Afghanistan early this year, they might now be within reach of overthrowing the Afghan government that the Western powers left behind when they pulled out of their troops Gwynne Dyer most last year. Even with that distraction, the Taliban are doing pretty well. On Monday, a Taliban suicide-bomber on a motorcycle managed to kill six American soldiers who were patrolling the perimeter of Bagram air base near Kabul. On the same day Taliban fighters took almost complete control of Sangin in Helmand province, a town that over 100 British troops died to defend in 2006-10. As Major Richard Streatfield, a British officer who fought at Sangin, told the BBC: “I won’t deny, on a personal level, it does make you wonder - was it worth it? Because if the people we were trying to free Afghanistan from are now able to just take it back within two years, that shows that something went badly wrong at the operational and strategic level.” It was probably a mistake to invade Afghanistan in the first place. Osama bin Laden’s alQaeda terrorists could have been dealt with without invading an entire country, and there was never any evidence that the Taliban government of the day knew about his 9/11 attacks on the United States in advance. Having invaded the country, it was a mistake not to hand it over to a tough regime made up of warlords from the major ethnic groups and get out before the presence of over a hundred thousand foreign troops gave the Taliban a second wind. Trying to create a Western-style liberal democracy in Afghanistan was even more naive than the previous Soviet project to build a modern, secular, “socialist” one-party state in the country. And having made those mistakes, it was another mistake to pull almost all the foreign troops out before the Afghan government’s army was up to holding the Taliban off. If, indeed, it can ever be brought up to that level. The parlous state of the Afghan National Army and the sheer fecklessness of President Ashraf Ghani’s government was highlighted by last weekend’s desperate plea by Helmand’s deputy-governor Mohammad Jan Rasulyar

for supplies and reinforcements for the troops holding Sangin. It’s not just that the army had neglected the plight of those soldiers. It’s the fact that Rasulyar had to resort to posting his plea on Facebook to get the government’s attention. Part of the problem is that the government and the army high command are profoundly corrupt. For example, up to a quarter of the army’s troops are “ghost soldiers” who only exist on paper, so that officers can draw their pay. The worse problem is that President Ghani, a former senior official at the World Bank, only won last year’s election by massive fraud. Conflicts with the aggrieved losers have left the government paralysed: twenty months after the election, there is still not even a permanent defence minister. Morever, Ghani believes that a decisive military victory over the Taliban is impossible. This is probably correct – but he is therefore committed to cultivating close ties with Pakistan in the hope that Inter-Services Intelligence, the Pakistani equivalent of the CIA, will deliver the Taliban to the table for peace talks. (Most Afghans believe that ISI controls the Taliban.) But Ghani is wrong on two counts. The Taliban have no reason to agree to a power-sharing peace settlement, since they can still hope for an outright military victory. And Pakistan doesn’t really control the Taliban, although it gives them a safe haven and can manipulate them to a limited extent. There were preliminary peace talks early this year, but there has been nothing since July. The Afghan army would be collapsing a good deal faster if so much of the Taliban’s attention were not focused on fighting off the challenge from Islamic State. (It has killed at least a thousand IS fighters this year.) But the Taliban still managed to seize the city of Kunduz in the north for a week in September, and now Sangin in the southwest is going. We are seeing the usual short-term responses in the West. President Obama has halted the withdrawal of most of the remaining 9,800 US troops in the country (which was scheduled for the end of this year), and Britain has ordered ten of the 450 troops it still has in Afghanistan back to Sangin. But that won’t make much difference, and there is no chance whatever that the NATO countries will build their troop strength in Afghanistan back up to the level – around 140,000 – where it was five years ago. The Afghans are on their own now, and they will be lucky if they end up back under the rule of the Taliban rather than in the clutches of Islamic State.

Looking ahead to 2016: Belleville casino a risky gamble Editorial - By Stephen Petrick One of the most interesting press conferences I’ve ever attended was hosted by a man named Lionel, who was announcing his intention to start a gamblers’ support group. The interesting thing about this event was it was located inside Frontenac Institution, a minimum-security prison in Kingston. Lionel was an inmate there doing time for fraud-related charges, as a result of a gambling addiction that had cost him everything. He pointed out his addiction was aided by a government that profits on gambling, through casinos and lotteries. I was a somewhat taken by his charm and apparent honesty. I went back to the Kingston paper where I worked and wrote an article about Lionel’s “inspiring recovery” from a gambling addiction. But about six months later, I was writing about him again. This time, his name had come up in a police press release. Not long after his release, there was a search warrant for his arrest, on grounds that he had scammed a local couple out of $19,000; money they believed they were lending him to start a support group for Christian gambling addicts. Guess I wasn’t the only one duped. Lionel’s story popped back into my mind in the latter days of 2015, as I reported in the fall on news that Belleville may soon be the site for a new casino that would be operated under the watch of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation. The OLG, as it is known, recently awarded a contract to a company called Ontario Gaming East Ltd. to manage gambling businesses in Eastern Ontario. The contract was based on the assumption that a casino in Belleville will soon be built. This is intriguing news for the community and I’m not about to suggest it’s all bad. A new casino would provide jobs – which our region needs – both during construction and upon its opening. And some of the profits it would generate would go back into the community. Casinos overseen by OLG are required to put 5.25 per cent of the first $65 million they generate from slot machines back into the community. Four per cent of revenue from table games are also supposed to go back into the

community. And city officials seem to be on board with the idea. Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher and Chief Administrative Officer Rick Kester recently met with the two companies to discuss the plan. “It’s a game changer,” Christopher told me, following that meeting. “I would definitely be encouraged to see some economic influx in the community.” But, I question whether the money that goes to community projects would be worth the money that would inevitably be lost by casino customers. I realize stories like Lionel’s are rare and most people have the ability to gamble responsibly. And I don’t belong to any religion that condemns gambling, so I promise here I won’t get preachy. But, I think it’s worth remembering that the Quinte region has the second highest level of food insecurity in the province, meaning about 17,000 people in the region often don’t have enough money to buy nutritious food. Meanwhile, demand for social services, such as those provided by Gleaners Food Bank and the Salvation Army, as we have often reported in these pages, are on the rise. We face the risk of having hundreds of people spending hundreds of dollars they cannot afford to lose at a casino, with hopes of striking it rich. But, casino customers can’t get ahead in the long run. The house always wins. It’s a good bet that this casino will be built in Belleville some time in the next few years and work may begin in 2016 – the city already has a few land options zoned and ready for such development. I just hope when it’s built, the community also sees more education programs for gamblers and support systems for those with addictions. People like Lionel may exist here – and if they’re among the 17,000-some people who struggle to buy food, their gambling may have devastating affects on their lives. These stories are not only incredibly sad, they also clog our justice system and put more demand on social agencies. Without proper supports, a casino may be a risky gamble for this community. I’m just not sure it’s worth a roll of the dice.

Belleville – The year in municipal politics ended on a puzzling note when a city councillor called a press conference at city hall to announce he’s been cleared in a defamation suit. Mitch Panciuk, a former senior executive member for the Belleville Agricultural Society, invited media to city hall to share copies of a decision released two days earlier by Deputy Judge Donald T. Mowat. Panciuk was a defendant in a small claims court case in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Belleville earlier in the month. The plaintiff was Bente Marie Nielsen, a photographer who was once a volunteer and later a board member of the agricultural society, on which Panciuk formerly served as first vice-president. “The decision of Deputy Judge Mowat puts to rest any notion that I have done anything wrong to Ms. Neilson personally or as a director of the Belleville Agricultural Society,” Panciuk said, sitting at a table between his wife Lisa and his lawyer John Mastorakos in the Sir Mackenzie Bowell Room in City Hall. Several fellow agricultural society members sat behind him, but the only others in the room were a handful of reporters. Nielsen was seeking an invoice of $755.85 for what she claimed was unpaid photography work plus $24,000 in damages for defamation, alleged by Nielsen against Panciuk. The six-page decision by the judge spelled out a long and ugly history of conflict between the two sides. The decision recounts that Neilson felt she was pushed out of the Agricultural Society and intimidated by Panciuk. Panciuk – both in court and at Wednesday’s press conference – said he had no intention of doing any damage to Neilsen’s reputation. The decision also shows that Panciuk served a “no trespassing” notice to Mrs. Neilson, ordering that she not enter Boston Pizza, the Bell Boulevard restaurant that Panciuk owns. Belleville Police eventually charged Neilson with criminal harassment and the matter was resolved by her entering into a peace bond. Panciuk said he called the press conference to announce the decision because local media covered the court case and he wanted to clear his name. He noted local media doesn’t typically cover small claims court, but did so in this case because it involved a city councillor and complaints from a non-elected person.

On the road to Bethlehem

Norwood – The wind whipped with frosty intent, bandits prowled and torches lit the winding way to the noisy markets of Bethlehem and a lonely barn and manger where two awed parents hug a swaddled infant. The story of Christmas was vividly recreated on 23 acres of darkened land next to Norwood Pentecostal Church over the weekend with 80 volunteers of all ages and assorted animals taking part outside at the 20 stations and a dozen more inside serving warm refreshments and helping at a kid’s craft table. It was the church’s fourth annual production of The Road to Bethlehem and hundreds of people from all corners of the region and beyond (there were guests from Thailand) taking in the dramatically told performance. “We just wanted to share the real reason of Christmas. It’s kind of a fun one because everyone can participate,” said organizer and Children’s Pastor Bev Graham. “We hope it’s a nice time for

families to come together and its right before Christmas so it kind of gets in that Christmas feel.” It was a team effort by the NPC family and other community volunteers, says Graham, with different groups working on sets, costumes, baking, logistics as well as the actors. “Those who like to be outside can be outside and those who like to be inside can be inside,” she said. “It’s nice to have something that everyone can be involved in. It’s nice to share the message right before Christmas around the lanterns.” “It’s a whole community thing,”

added NPC Lead Pastor Jeff Hackett. “It’s a huge undertaking for our church family.” It is a dramatic and entertaining way to remind people of the meaning of Christmas, Pastor Hackett said. “Somehow in today’s culture it gets lost and if we can carve out some time to tell the true meaning of Christmas that’s what it’s all about.” Pastor Hackett is delighted so many people from other communities attend the show. It validates the “effort, time and energy” participants put into the production, he said.

“It’s a great thing for the community and surrounding area that people will come out and see, hear and taste. We love our community dearly and that’s why we’re here.” “It’s a wonderful tradition,” said visitor Eileen Menzies of Havelock who attended with her children and grandchildren. “It’s educational for the kids. It’s better seeing it than just hearing it. It’s a nice reminder of the season. They did an excellent job of getting the point across at all stations.” “It’s nice to go on that journey as a family,” added Mary Dunford, also of Havelock.

Youth winner ‘overwhelmed’ by service award

Havelock – Zachery Rodgers can be forgiven for missing a Guitar Club gig at Norwood District High School’s Christmas Java Fest. The Grade 11 student had some important business to attend to that night at Havelock United Church where he was presented with the 2015 Havelock Ministerial Association’s Christian Service Award during the community’s annual carol service. It was an honour that he called both humbling and overwhelming after receiving the award from The Reverend David Wainwright and Association Treasurer Rev. David Estabrooks of Havelock Baptist

Church. He’s just the third recipient from St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church. “I found out on Tuesday. I didn’t know I was nominated,” Zachery said. “I was surprised to hear that

I was nominated. I feel very honoured.” His nominators called Zachery a “quiet, friendly young man” who attends church with his grandparents Marion and Russel Pollock. At St. John, he helps out with some of the

music set-up and technical side of things because the church no longer has an organ. “He often fills in to help even on short notice,” they said. On top of that, he shovels snow at the church during the winter and helps set up for various functions. In the community Zachery has been a Cub and Scout and has assisted at Havelock Belmont Public School the past two years. Since entering high school, he has developed a passion for the guitar and is a member of the NDHS Guitar Club. “Zachery is a well-grounded, honest and trustworthy young man and a good student,” his nominators added. Volunteering is something that comes naturally, Zachery said. “I like to help out.” He knows his Guitar Club mates understand why he missed the gig; there will be other opportunities to jam on stage for sure. “I enjoy it, it’s fun. I started in Grade 9 and thought it would be a good credit. I just love the instrument and stuck with it.” There were three nominees this year, Rev. Estabrooks said. “That’s probably the most we’ve had and the toughest,” he said. “They’re all equally qualified and it came down to almost the last minute before we had to make our decision. “It just shows you the quality of our youth in the community and the upbringing they’ve had and the contributions they’ve made. For us it’s a great joy to be able to recognize that and to encourage our youth.” The carol service is the Association’s “main fundraiser”. “We’re just so grateful for how benevolent the people of Havelock and Norwood and surrounding area have been,” said Rev. Estabrooks.

Many of us are in a party mood at the end of the year. We’ll often participate in one of the spectacular, festive New Year’s Eve parties that we find available, where we’ll toot horns, drink champagne, sing “Auld Lang Syne”, and dance into the wee hours of the morning. Others of us may prefer to remain somewhat ‘low key’ and just attend a house party with a few friends, or simply watch the celebrations on TV (including our own big bash in Niagara Falls or the U.S.’s well known descending ball in New York’s Times Square). We’ll often make New Year’s Resolutions and vow to make this next year an even better one (although these good intentions often ‘bite the dust’ rather quickly). But what if we found ourselves in another part of the world at this time of year? What could we expect? If we happened to be in London, England, we could see a spectacular fireworks display along the Thames River. In Sydney, Australia, we’d view the fireworks in Sidney Harbour. In Amsterdam, Holland, we’d discover that fireworks are also predominant in the celebrations (which they refer to as “Oudjaarsavond”, “Old Year’s Night”). In Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, fireworks are usually set off from Jumeirah Beach and from the world’s tallest building, Buri Khalifa. In Berlin, Germany, we could join over a million revelers in the open-air party along “Party Mile”, near Brandenburg Gate. In Istanbul, Turkey, we could join the masses in Taksim Square and Istiklal Caddesi. And Rome’s traditional New Year’s Eve celebrations are centered in Piazza del Popolo, where huge crowds celebrate. New Year’s Eve marks the date for “Fiesta de Iemanjá” in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Here, crowds head to the beaches to offer flowers and gifts to Iemanjá, the Goddess of the Water. We could join about two million people at Copacabana Beach for “Réveillon”, where we’d witness the spectacular beauty of thousands of candles

floating to sea. In Colombia, South America, family members often write down a fault or a bit of bad luck that they desire to get rid of – and these then disappear when a straw effigy of “Ano Nuevo” (the old year) is burned, at midnight, until nothing but ashes remains. If we happened to be at a house party in Spain on New Year’s Eve, we’d probably eat very late in the evening and then be offered bunches of grapes for dessert; we’d then eat a grape with each toll of the midnight bell, for this is thought to bring good luck in the new year. Grapes are also consumed in Mexico, with a wish being made with each of the 12 grapes eaten; new red (for love) or yellow (for money) underwear is often worn on this occasion. In Portugal, we’d probably drink champagne and eat twelve raisins, one for each month of the year, making a wish for each. In Greece, you’d probably be served Vasilopita (New Year’s Bread) at midnight, and if you happened to be the person who received the piece of cake with the coin hidden within it, you’d be thought to have good luck in the upcoming year. The Japanese traditionally clean their homes on the last day of the year, to prepare for the arrival of toshigami (New Year’s god of the Shinto religion) - and Buddhist temples ring their bells 108 times at midnight.

Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation looks ahead with gratitude

By Jack Evans

A group of volunteer social activists looked around the Quinte area back in 1991 and realized there were still too many needy children. This, despite the efforts of the Hastings County Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aid Society, county social services, Salvation Army and other social support agencies and organizations. Thus was born the Quinte

inexplicable outpouring of support and generosity in the weeks and days leading up to Christmas by service clubs, business firms and concerned individuals. She noted one business created a list of children from ages newborn to 20 and asked each employee to provide a Christmas gift list for one of them. The response was terrific, she said. Earlier in the day of this interview, she delivered a load of Yule gifts to the Angel Tree project, operated annually in Picton, and noted one mother was overwhelmed at the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generosity, breaking into tears when she was told she would also get a turkey. There are still many unseen needs in the area of service, she believes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our CAS personnel make regular household visits and take note of families that are obviously under financial or emotional stress and try to get something for them.â&#x20AC;? But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about Christmas. The foundation operates major support programs year round plus a major fund raising gala every spring. The key programs are Reach for Success, a cornerstone plank of the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts, providing scholarships for higher education for CAS children in care, and Playing for Keeps. The latter program is available to any family or child in need, designed to make sure all children in the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s territory have adequate support to register for sports and special activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These programs actually help children develop socially by teaching them how to conduct themselves

in a group or team environment. It also provides an escape for some children with an unhealthy home situation,â&#x20AC;? Reid argues. The family services care program is a partnership between the CAS and foundation to ensure all children an d youth have a pleasant holiday. The program works with food banks and welfare departments to fill any gaps. A special program is â&#x20AC;&#x153;helping hands,â&#x20AC;? which fills gaps in services and programs for prenatal and nursing mothers. Finally Camps of Hope ensure children, regardless of family financial situations can attend summer outdoor camps, available also for March Break and winter breaks. As the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s territory has expanded to match that of Highshores CAS, so too is its staff, with separate officers now in charge of Northumberland and Prince Edward areas, Reid noted. She noted this recent holiday season, the foundation assisted some 1,300 children in Hastings County alone, plus hundreds more in Northumberland and Prince Edward County.

A second cat perished but there was no other loss of life or injury. One family with three children was away at the time and Brittany Leween was able to get her three sons out safely.

When you smile with confidence, you look your best and feel good about yourself. Orthodontic problems can affect your dental and general health as well as your personal appearance. If your teeth are out of position, they are more difficult to clean, increasing the risk of tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease. If your bite is off place, extra strain may be placed on the chewing muscles, possibly causing pain and problems with your jaw joint.

Brittany and Tim Leween stand with owner George Powles (centre) in front of the ruins of their Flinton home which was destroyed by fire days before Christmas. Powles says the community’s supportive response has been “outstanding.”

OK, a little wet, but the community is just coming forth with oodles and oodles of stuff like clothing, money, furniture, you name it.” Powles observed, “I can’t say enough about the people in Flinton. It’s fantastic.” He adds, “these ones are probably the best tenants we’ve ever had.” Donations are being collected by several private individuals and dropped off at the local fire station. “Our church at Pine Grove in Cloyne, they have their back door open for donations. There’s clothing and stuff coming from Peterborough, Napanee, Kingston – one lady drove from Stirling to donate $100. She went through the same thing a year ago. The outpouring of the people of Flinton and area, I cannot believe it. It’s outstanding.” Fearing the worst as he drove to the fire Powles “almost vomited” as he contemplated

possible loss of life. Both families have found temporary accommodations, he said, noting that the destroyed house was built in 1874 and the subject of many subsequent additions. “Man, we put a lot of work into it.” Marlene MacLean, of Napanee, is a friend of the displaced families and a former resident of the home. She reports that the families now have enough clothing and toys and “the boys won’t be missing a Christmas.” She added the house had historical significance and was at times a bank, a municipal building and a court house. Janis Douglas remarks that the need now is more for cash donations or gift cards. Donations can be dropped off at 3651 Flinton Road, 131 Petri Street in Napanee or to Pastor Thomas Eng of the Pine Grove Free Methodist Church in Cloyne.

Orthodontic treatment can be beneficial at any age and approximately 25% of today’s orthodontic patients are adults. Teeth can be moved at any age and therefore more adults are proceeding with orthodontic treatment today in an effort to achieve straight teeth, a beautiful smile and healthy jaw joints.

said, “By the time I got back to the door, you could see through the window the wall and ceiling were already dropping. Grant said, ‘Do not go over there.’ My son went in to rescue the cats. One cat was saved. Brady went in and got it. He knows the house very well. He said if anybody didn’t know the house they probably wouldn’t have got out.” Response to the fire was rapid she reported. “Everything happened so fast. One of the volunteer trucks was probably five minutes, and then the fire trucks … everything moved quick. They were set up and ready to go and probably already spraying it within fifteen minutes. It was fast.” The home’s owner George Powles lives nearby and was on-site quickly. Taking a break from tearing down the remains of the building two days later, he noted that the fire’s cause has been determined to not be suspicious. “We wouldn’t be able to do this [tear it down] if it were.” Powles has insurance on the building itself but reports that his tenants do not have renters’ insurance coverage. “The only thing they had is what’s on their backs. This morning we retrieved some gifts that were

Smitty’s Wish weaves magic for 14th year Havelock – Santa Claus is a pretty adaptable globe-trotter and adjusted well to rainy weather in Havelock-BelmontMethuen, joining Smitty’s Christmas Wish volunteers for their annual delivery evening which brought unexpected joy to almost 90 local children and their families. For the 14th year, the Smitty’s Wish team wove their magic honouring the legacy of Bob Smith who carried on a personal Santa mission from the back of an ATV for nearly 20 years until his death. His

friends and wife Norma picked up the torch and it’s evolved into more than just a Christmas-time venture. So strong was the desire to carry on that within three weeks of Smith’s death they raised $7,000. “It is more than just Christmas,” says Miz Watson one of the original 14 who helped carry on the late Smith’s campaign. The fund has contributed to Havelock Belmont Public School, local recreation skating programs and others dealing with illness and loss. In the New Year they will be major

sponsors of a new tutoring program at HBPS. Still, Christmas is when the Smitty team is most evident delivering gifts across the township along with food hampers and gift cards to seniors. It would never happen without the “generosity of people year after year after year,” says Watson. “The donations keep coming in.” There’s support from local businesses like Tim Hortons, which donated the proceeds from this year’s Smile Cookie campaign to Smitty’s, and groups like the Lions Club and Legion.

“We do this for the kids and that is primary,” says Watson. “It is deeply gratifying.” Watson also volunteers with the HBPS breakfast program and sees firsthand how they help local children. When Bob Smith started his campaign he would bring gifts to around 30 children, Watson says. Since then, and with the involvement of the school, that number has grown and has reached as high as 130 some years. Sadly, she notes, they do deliver gifts to the children of some of the kids Bob Smith visited; the team is always hopeful that circumstances change. “You do your best with the information that you receive. I always about who we missed.” Watson says they’re keen to recruit some new volunteers. “Younger volunteers would be great. We’d be more than happy to pass the torch. We’d still be involved in an advisory capacity.” Right now there are around 17 volunteers. “Each pretty much has their own job.”

Marmora council hosts delegations from SnoFest, fire department and Dr. Anne Muscat

By Margriet Kitchen

News – The Marmora Fire Department Association, along with a number of fundraising partners, appeared before council to show off their recent vehicle extraction purchases. Fundraising activities by local organizations as well as the association made the purchase of life-saving equipment possible. “On behalf of council, thank you to all volunteers and people who step up to help the community and special thank you to

the whole fire department, that gives so many services to all our community,” said Mayor Tony Clemons. Marmora Business Association President Lin Walker presented plans to bring more of SnoFest to the downtown area of Marmora on Saturday, February 6. The popular Little Nippers Race will be held on Forsyth St. which will be closed to traffic from 11 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Several other activities are proposed such as a snowman building contest, snow castle building, downtown entertainment and a vintage snowmobile show.

On Wednesday, Dec. 23 and Wednesday, Dec. 30, the Marmora arena will host free public skating from 12 until 2 p.m. The Marmora Pentecostal Church will be offering free hot dogs and hot chocolate for the children attending the free skate. Councillor Elaine Jones advised council of the vandalism/theft of Christmas tree lights, floodlights and extension cords at the Memorial Park Christmas display. “Those responsible must realize the security cameras are working to show what they are doing and this means they can be found!”

Mayor Terry Clemens expressed the community’s regret at the loss of Dr. Muscat’s service. “I need to say to you, Dr. Muscatt, the whole community is grateful to you for what you have done for us. I understand your reasons for leaving Marmora to be with your family near Barrie. You will be missed.” Additional items discussed by council included a resolution to place a motion on the Jan. 2016 CVCA board agenda to establish 2016 municipal levy for the au-

expressed their approval of the plans. Dr. Anne Muscat brought an update regarding the search for a new physician. Dr. Muscat is moving to Barrie at the end of March, 2016. She explained that after exhaustive searches for graduate students to come to this rural area, no success had been achieved, mainly because the provincial government has changed or removed incentives for new doctors to start their practices. Any of Dr. Muscat’s patients who would like to stay with that location, may be transferred to Dr. Holowaty’s care. Letters have been sent out to those patients affected, with information on transfer of re-

Randy the Mentalist’s mind-boggling predictions up magician around the age of nine. He studied magic books from the local library and performed his first shows for his parents Randy and Jean and was soon performing at friend’s birthdays and family gatherings. Soon after seeing his first live stage magician, he became hooked on performing. He has performed for many children’s birthday parties, trade show events and festivals under the stage name “Randy the Magicman”. Wanting to take his career in a different direction, he started independently studying and performing “mentalism and psychology”. Since 2008 he has been performing his unique brand of mental demonstrations and psychological illusions as “Randy The Mentalist”.

I was gifted with an older gardening book for Christmas: Garden Voices, Two Centuries of Canadian Garden Writing, Random House of Canada 1995, co-authored by Edwinna Von Baeyer and Pleasance Crawford. Â The

The Good Earth: Gardening voices book is out of print but still available online if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re diligent with your searching. To some, Edwinna and Pleasance are well known in gardening and landscape architecture circles; yet to many of us, they are but unfamiliar names. At first hearing, those names are evocative of a genteel British matron, calming strolling through an idyllic vignette, perhaps winkling out an intruding bit of Glechoma hederaceae (such a person would never say Creeping Charlie) from the greensward on a warm June afternoon. However, if you

take a look at their biographies, you would quickly realise that nothing could be further from reality; these two people are forces of nature who have helped shape gardening in Canada. Each has many professional accomplishments which merits them a place in Canadian gardening annals. Together, their book accomplishes two very important objectives. One is to remind us that we, as a nation, have a tremendous horticultural history unique to our vast country. The other is to show us that we are fortu-

nate that the chroniclers of this history are as brilliant and varied as the topics they cover. I can appreciate that the selection of writers for this volume was excruciatingly difficult and a few names I expected see (in a book spanning 200 years) e.g. Art Drysdale, Doug Green and Bruce Zimmerman were absent. Â However, if I were to undertake such a daunting anthology Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure others could very quickly point out my egregious omissions. There are folks in these pages whom I would enjoy

I think I can honestly say that there is no work at the present time which yields so poor remuneration.â&#x20AC;? I will give the final words to Ada L. Potts, who told us in 1929, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The call is to us all to continue the good work which we know was started when Canada was very young, that succeeding generations may in turn be benefitted, for in today already walks tomorrow.â&#x20AC;?

meeting, pioneers of their day espousing techniques and common sense approaches that are every bit as relevant to us today (roof top gardening, Oasis on the Roof, Frances Steinhoff Sanders,1948); sage observers who warn us of both the charlatans (A.M. Smith, 1873) and the seductive nature of the pastime (H.F. Herbert, 1960); the architects who strove to combine the utilitarian (the houses in which we live) with the pastoral (all that is growing either naturally or cultivated) in pleasing harmony Linus Woolverton, 1889, and both Lorrie and Howard Dunnington-Grubb, 1930s and the environmentalist who eschews â&#x20AC;&#x153;biological barrensâ&#x20AC;?

We are introduced to or reminded of Canadian giants who merited global recognition in propagation and development of new varieties such as Isabella Preston (especially with lilies and lilacs) and John H.

Adult day program for seniors with dementia returning to Campbellford By John Campbell Campbellford – An adult day program for “higher needs seniors” is returning to Campbellford after being shut down three years ago. Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi announced the funding for the program at Campbellford Memorial Hospital Lodge, where the service will be provided two days a week beginning in January. It will allow seniors with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia who require special support to remain living at home. The program’s return got a ringing endorsement from Barb Hobart who spoke enthusiastically of how much it had meant to her and her late husband, Adrian, a former surgeon at the hospital who died in 2012. “It is a wonderful program and I can’t say enough good things about it.” When her husband developed dementia she was determined

“to keep him at home as long as possible ... [and] at first resisted the idea of taking him to a day program,” she said. “This was a man who loved his Shakespeare, who loved to make puns,” and she didn’t know whether he would accept being part of an adult day program. “But I was basing that on the man that he had been, not the man he had become,” Hobart said. He was in the program for two-and-a-half years and the hours he spent there each week were critical to her own wellbeing as sole caregiver. “Without them I would never have been able to keep him at home to the very end,” she said. “What they gave me was priceless. I had six hours where I wasn’t worrying where’s he now, what is he doing, is he out in the road? It was just precious, precious time.” His time in the program also gave her “some wonderful memories” because the pro-

gram included art classes and she has hanging on her walls some of the art her husband made “in the last years of his life.” Hobart said she’s “delighted” the program is returning. Lori Cooper, district executive director for community support service for VON Canada – Ontario, said the program was ended because of low numbers. “We just weren’t getting a lot of referrals into the program so it was moved to another location, to Brighton,” she said. However, “the need was identified again” with the establishment of the Trent Hills Community Geriatric Assessment Intervention Network (GAIN) earlier this year. The team in charge of the program for frail older adults living at home or in retirement residences with multiple complex medical concerns “quickly identified the lack of an adult day program in the area [presented] a challenge,” Cooper said. VON will work closely with

On the left, Lori Cooper, district executive director for community support service for VON Canada – Ontario, said the adult day program will help seniors with health issues achieve and maintain a “maximum level of functioning” as well as give caregivers respite from having to look after a loved one. Barb Hobart spoke highly of the program, which her late husband took part in for more than two years until his death in 2012. Photo by John Campbell

its partners to “ensure that it is well utilized.” The Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) will provide $150,000 a year to support two adult day programs, one in Campbellford and the other in Port Hope, which has never had one, Cooper said. Each program can accommodate 15 clients. The funding pays for the use of space, supplies, meals and staffing – a recreational therapist and personal support worker at each site.

The range of activities “will depend on the interests and the needs of the group” but they will be designed “to enhance” their physical and cognitive well-being, Cooper said. Typically they involve cooking, art, gentle exercises and music, which “often resonates with the clients and brings back good memories.” Cooper said the adult day program is “really important” for caregivers who, wanting to keep their loved ones at home, are providing care around the clock.

They might be getting home care “but that’s sporadic,” she said. They “really need a break, that time off it’s actually critical.” Caregivers sometimes “have a hard time getting used to the idea of dropping their loved one off at a day program,” Cooper said, but it’s “a necessity for their own health so they can continue in that role.” Program staff “are really skilled at making people [feel] at home and relaxed,” she said. “We do create a home-like environment as much as possible.”

Kayaking Christmas Eve – it’s been that kind of winter By John Campbell Trent Hills – It’s Christmas Eve in Trent Hills and what’s more natural than to go kayaking in the Trent River. Friends Christine Law and Dale Clarke certainly thought so as they took to the water in their seven-foot polyethylene Jackson Fun kayaks last week and paddled their way downstream about four kilometres from south of the bridge to Meyers Island. “This is a first, I’ve ever kayaked past November, but this year seems to be an exceptional year for weather,” said Clarke, a Belleville resident who has been kayaking for 20 years on rivers across North America. “It’s a marvellous day, couldn’t ask for a better day, it’s the 24th of December and we’re out kayaking,” he said. “With it being 15 degrees 30

Metroland Media - Thursday, December 31, 2015

outside, we thought we’d go for a last run,” said Law who lives in Campbellford. Snowmobiling or cross-country skiing, the first things that come to most people’s mind this time of year, were certainly out of the question, what with the weather the province has been enjoying (up until Monday night when the first storm of the winter was forecast to sweep across Ontario). It was a sunny day with high winds when Clarke and Law set out for their river run, which they planned to do more than once that day. Kayaking the day before Christmas on the Trent River is “unheard of,” Clarke said. “We were driving down the highway [with their kayaks] and people were looking at us like we’re crazy. The crazy part is yet to be determined.” Clarke said he was looking forward to doing some “tricks,

cartwheels and stuff like that,” while out on the water. “He’ll put his boat up on the end [and] spin it,” Law said. The small kayaks, which weigh only 35 pounds, “are designed for both play and river running,” Clarke said. “This is a crazy idea, [but] it’s a perfect day for it.”

Nine local shoppers were rewarded with gift certificates from Madoc businesses for shopping locally. Members of Madoc’s Chamber of Commerce drew the names Dec.15 . Photo by Diane Sherman

By Diane Sherman Madoc - The District Chamber of Commerce began a “Shop Local” campaign offering the chance to win one of nine gift certificates from local businesses. The effort is part of an ongoing plan to promote shopping in the village. Throughout the year, the Economic Development Committee and Chamber developed the promotional theme “Why

Madoc?” to entice perspective investors. Since the bank closed in Marmora, many folks are banking in Madoc and staying to shop. The new Johnston’s Pharmacy is a popular addition, with the old location now an apparel and variety store. The Hidden Goldmine Bakery, Welcome International restaurant and Barley Pub and Eatery have become common meeting places for groups and

parties. The busy Burnside’s Dairy on Russell Street now has a yearround Christmas store, while across the street a regular clientele of coffee connoisseurs meet at Amazing Coffee. Rockin’ Robin’s at the main corners has become an early morning chat room as is the SunnySide-Up restaurant on south Durham Street. Madoc’s Mac’s Milk store won an award for outstanding service as one of the busiest franchises in Canada. That status, in part, is due to the shear volume of visitors to Centre Hastings Park across the street, with its splashpad, skate park and arts centre. The spring opening of Moffatt Manor Antiques and Art Below drew more shoppers to the south end of town, and with Tim Hortons and MacDonald’s and Ultramar at Highways 62 and 7, there has been a rise in local job availability. Service Ontario, The Outpost, Thrift Shop and Bookworm shops have a steady flow of clientele on any given day and the market square is filled with activity from May to October. With an array of medical services, hairdressers, farm stores, a florist, and local transit system,

Madoc has a lot to offer, Mayor Tom Deline told Chamber members Dec. 15 when he thanked them for their work. He projects the development of three new subdivisions will attract investors in the near future. “It appears a lot of people from the cities are looking to move to smaller towns. We should be advertising to them. The future looks good.” Winners of the draw were Sandie Herren, Rob Price, Ron Baker, Sandra Adams, Peggy Elliot, Amanda Allen, Maggie MacDonald, Shelly-Jo Reid and Kendal Robinson.

Firefighters honoured for years of service to Stirling-Rawdon By Terry McNamee

important objective for 2016. The problem, said the mayor, is “every municipality’s chasing the same carrot.” He said Stirling is at a disadvantage in that it is further from Highway 401 than many other communities, but the township is working hard to turn that into a positive. “We’ve got four developers going next year, building houses,” he said. Councillor Dean Graff said Stirling needs to keep on searching for new opportunities and not rely on Hastings County. “We need to do it on our own,” he said. “We need to do the field trips to attract business here.”

Stirling - The final Stirling-Rawdon Council meeting of 2015 included presentations to two local firefighters for their years of service to the community. On Monday, Dec. 21, Mayor Rodney Cooney presented plaques to John Sedgwick in honour of his 25 years with the local fire department and to Danny Blackburn for his 22 years of service. With the creation of Joint Fire Services for Stirling-Rawdon and Tweed, a new Joint Fire Services Board has been created. Council agreed to appoint Mayor Cooney and DeputyMayor Bob Mullin to serve on the new board. Mayor Cooney said the appointment will last for the first year of the new joint service agreement. With the municipality experiencing severe financial difficulties, due in part to major provincial funding cuts, there is still some good news for the new year. “The good news is, we’re not getting cut any more,” Mayor Cooney said.

The Christmas spirit is clearly in the air at Island Park

Campbellford – The spirit of giving is taking on a new face this year at Island Park Retirement Community as residents put their festive energy into buying gifts for a local family in need. Traditionally, the residents have always put their talents to good use and knitted dozens of mittens, toques and scarves which were then given to the local Salvation Army to be distributed to those who need them most. Last year Island Park residents were also able to donate toys to the local toy drive which made it a very merry Christmas for many children. “I had presented the idea of a mitten tree for Christmas back in 2009,” said Krista Hazlewood, lifestyle consultant at the seniors’ residence in Campbellford, whose idea has continued to capture the imagination of residents. Taking that idea further and changing things up a bit this year, she decided that in lieu of the mitten tree, residents might like to sponsor a local family.

“Everyone was 100 per cent in agreement,” she said. Krista then contacted The Salvation Army and “we chose to sponsor a family. The family that I choose was a grandmother who is raising her two grandchildren. I choose this family as our residents could easily relate to how difficult that could/would be.” Next came a shopping trip and after spending a few hours looking for gifts, the residents were able to easily find all of the gifts on each child’s Christmas gift list and even one for Grandma. “The residents enjoyed looking at all of the gifts that were bought. This brought back many memories. One lady commented that the Hot Wheels cars are something that she would have bought for her son when he was little,” Krista noted. Wendy Sage, one of the Island Park residents, said she liked the idea of helping others. Krista knew Wendy loved to bake to she suggested to the residents that wanted to sponsor a family that the tarts Wendy baked could be sold to raise money for

the gifts. “We have a country store here at Island Park that is open three days a week,” she noted. “So I put up a sign in the elevator that butter tarts are for sale and we were sold out in no time,” Krista added grinning. The residents also had enough money to buy a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings for the family. “The residents’ committee is funding all of that,” noted Krista.

Throughout the year the residents sold 50/50 draws and hosted a shopping event at Island Park that was open to the public and is always “a huge fundraiser”. The decision of what to do with the money raised is always made by the residents. “They thought what a great idea, let’s sponsor a family,” Krista said. “The Christmas Spirit is clearly in the air at Island Park,” she concluded.

Christmas Bird Count event paints environmental picture By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – The first Monday following Christmas dawned cold, but it wasn’t chilly enough to stop a handful of bird lovers from getting out and about throughout the Belleville area with binoculars and clipboards in their

hands. The Quinte Field Naturalists held their annual Christmas Bird Count event, and a couple dozen people participated by picking locations within a 12-kilometre radius of City Hall and making lists of the birds they saw. Participants describe the event as a

citizen-focused science project. Organizer John Blaney explained that one clipboard list may not reveal a lot of data, but when several are put together they provide an interesting snapshot of the bird species found in a particular region. When those lists are put together year after year, and are compared to with lists from other regions, they give environmentalists a sense of what species are in decline or on the way back. Such bird counts are conducted in several cities. Those who participate in Belleville are invited back to Blaney’s home, where he collects the lists and later forwards the data on to Bird Studies Canada, a research facility. “Some people are pretty obsessive about it,” said Blaney, about such bird watching events. “Some people travel around the country to do as many as they can.” Blaney was one of four participants touring West Riverside Park Monday afternoon. The clipboard, being held by Denice Wilkins, showed that the group had spotted several chickadees, pigeons, seagulls and geese. But there were also a few mild surprises. Her list also showed that one song sparrow had been spotted, along with goldfinch and one ring-necked duck. Wilkins said she felt she was doing her part to contribute to an environmental movement. She used the “canary in the coal mine” analogy to explain why bird counts are so important. (Canaries were once put in coal mines to show when oxygen was becoming scarce. If the canary died, the miners knew they had better get out soon). Likewise, if bird species start to die off, it’s a sign of bigger environmental problems.

“The bird count has been going on for over 100 years. That length of time is very valuable,” Wilkins said. “For biologist, there’s only so many of them and citizen-science projects are important because you have so many more eyes and ears to look at things. Staff can’t possibly cover all the areas.” Blaney said the Belleville bird count event has taken place for 14 years now. Over that time, he’s made a few observations. He’s noticed more ravens and eagles in the area. “With global warming you’re seeing some birds that are staying further north than they used to,” he said. As for species in decline in this area, he said evening grosbeaks are now a rare find. “It’s very unusual now to see that species, where as you used to get flocks of 40,” he said. He added there’s a de-

bate as to what has caused that bird’s decline, whether it be global warming or other environmental factors. This winter, which until recently has been mild, has also caused a few surprises. “Some birds that you would expect in the winter haven’t arrived yet,” Blaney said. “On the other hand, snowy owls which you would associate with winter have appeared. It depends on a lot of factors,” Blaney added, explaining that the rise in snowy owl may be because of a successful breeding season. While participants said they felt it was important to contribute to this year’s data, they also said participating in the bird count is fun, as it provides an opportunity to get fresh air and see the interesting creatures. “It’s nature in general,” Wilkins said, with a smile.
