Large crowd shows up to pay respects at the Stirling Cenotaph on Nov. 11 There were many memories and many tears shed during the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Stirling Cenotaph on Friday, Nov. 11. Silver Cross Mother Margaret Wood (middle) of Stirling laid a wreath on behalf of all mothers who have lost a son or daughter who died while serving in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Helping her is Catherine Little, and at right is the Branch Sergeant-At-Arms, Parry Chrysler, who served several tours overseas in war zones with the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Terry McNamee/Metroland

Ted Morin, who just celebrated his 90th birthday, is one of two remaining World War II members of the Stirling Legion Branch 228. He attended the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Stirling Cenotaph on Friday, Nov. 11. Fellow Legion member Donna Graff helped him to his feet as local children remained silent in respect of those who served and those who died for Canada.

Remembering veterans in Campbellford

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – “Remembrance Day is important that we do this.

We’ve got to remember the fellas that didn’t come back,” said Second World War veteran Bert Greenhalgh, who turned 94 in August.

He was among the few veterans who were able to attend the service in Campbellford held by Legion Branch 103. “I was one of the lucky fellows and I had lots of friends and uncles who didn’t come back,” he said, with emotion. “I think about them all the time. This day is a great day for remembering all of them.”

Bert Greenhalgh, of Campbellford, was joined by his youngest daughter, Tammy, at the ceremony.

Teacher Patrick Muldoon’s Grade 7/8 students from Hillcrest Public School stood on the cenotaph as part of the program and

recited the poem, “In Flanders Fields”.

Campbellford District High School students also attended having already been at their own assembly earlier. “I’m a man who doesn’t cry much,” said Adam Doherty, Grade 11, getting emotional as he talked about the importance of the service. “It’s a good way to pay your respects. If we don’t come out the veterans don’t get remembered.”

Betty Bibby was there with her daughter Pat Mills to lay a wreath for her late husband, George Bibby, a Second World War veteran who fought at Vimy Ridge and passed away last year.

Padre Bryce Sangster led the service and at one point said, “Can we continue and receive that torch and pass it on to continue to strive for peace and freedom for all.”

The laying of wreaths followed.

OPINION

The biggest “Screw You!” vote in history Not many things are certain in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s narrow victory in the US presidential election, but FBI Director James Comey can rest assured that his job is safe. His prediction Gwynne Dyer of a new investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails eleven days before the election (followed by a retraction only 36 hours before the vote) gave Trump the edge he needed to win in the close-run contests in the “battleground states.”

Another sure bet is that Trump will not waste his time trying to send Hillary Clinton to jail, despite his many promises to “lock her up.” But this brings us rapidly to the nub of the matter: how many of his promises does he really intend to keep? If he keeps them all, we are in for a wild ride in the next four years.

President Barack Obama, addressing his last rally before the election, said: “All that progress (we made) goes down the drain if we don’t win tomorrow.” So down it goes: the promising climate change deal signed in Paris last December, the Affordable Care Act that gave 20 million poorer Americans access to health insurance, the deal that persuaded Iran to stop working on nuclear weapons, and maybe the whole 68-year-old NATO alliance.

Trump often accused of being sketchy on the details of his plans, but he has actually given us quite a lot of details on these issues.

He’s not just going to tear up the Paris climate accord, for example. At home, he’s going to dismantle all but a few “little tidbits” of the Environmental Protection Agency and, he says, revive the coal industry.

Will he really deport 11 million illegal immigrants from the United States? (He backtracked a bit on that.) Will he build a wall on the Mexican border? (He can’t walk away from that promise.) Will he ban all Muslims from entering the US? (Not in so many words, maybe, but Muslims should not consider taking vacations there.)

Will Trump tear up the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico, and repudiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership (a free trade deal linking most Pacific Rim countries except China) and the proposed Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (a similar deal between the US and the European Union)? Yes, yes and yes. Destroying the current “globalised”

trading arrangements was a key part of his platform.

Will he impose import duties on goods made in America’s trading partners in an attempt to “bring the jobs home”, including 35 percent tariffs on Mexican-made goods and 45 percent on Chinese exports. If he does, he’ll be starting a global trade war, and in the case of China a confrontation that could even turn military.

How could almost half of American voters support all this (47.5 percent)? Well, they didn’t, actually. They weren’t interested in the details.

They just hated the way the country was changing. Many of them had lost out economically because of the changes, and they were all very angry. As American film-maker and social commentator Michael Moore predicted, Donald Trump has ridden to power on the back of the biggest “F*** You” vote in history.

It was driven by the same rage that fuelled the Brexit vote in Britain last June, and it was equally heedless of consequences. Pro-Brexit British voters were more obsessed by immigration and Trump voters were more upset about jobs going abroad, but white workingclass males provided the core support in both cases and the basic message was the same: “Stop the world. I want to get off.”

Populists like Boris Johnson in England and Donald Trump in the United States are just exploiting those emotions, but they are barking up the wrong tree. The basic change that is leaving so many people feeling marginalized and unhappy is not immigration or globalization. Those scapegoats are popular mainly because you can imagine doing something to solve the problem: close the doors to immigrants, rip up the free trade deals.

But the real change is automation: computers and robots are eating up most of the jobs. Seven million American factory jobs have disappeared since 1979, but American factory production has doubled in the same time. The United States is still the world’s second largest manufacturer, behind only China.

So the populists can go on baying at the moon for a while, but sooner or later we will have to recognize that this is unstoppable change and start figuring out how to live with it. In particular, we will have to figure out how a large proportion of our societies can still have self-respect and a decent living standard when there are no jobs for them.

8 Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, November 17, 2016

Be grateful, we’re on the right side of the border Editorial by Stephen Petrick On a cold night last March community leaders, local dignitaries and spiritual leaders of multiple faiths gathered in the warm basement of Belleville’s Bridge Street United Church for a festive meal. Everyone had gathered to celebrate the arrival of two new families to the region – the Mostofa and Al Mansour families, both of which had recently arrived in Canada as refugees from Syria.

Prayers were delivered both in English and Arabic; the essence of both touched on the greatness of humanity. It was a fun event and it left everyone with a feeling of gratefulness to be living in Canada.

There’s no doubt that similar events have taken place in church or community halls across our region as the Quinte area has helped with the in take of more than 33,000 Syrian refugees nationwide to date. Most of these families have mothers, fathers and children who’ve fled civil war and are grateful for a new life. Most of us have welcomed them and tried to help because Canadians, generally, like to help others, celebrate diversity and know that racist or religious discrimination is a hollow endeavour, which leads to nothing good.

This thought may be the best way to stomach the news we digested last Tuesday. The world is undeniably a more dangerous place after the United States elected the tempered Donald Trump as its new president, but at least we’re on the right side of the border.

It would be difficult to host an event like the one at Bridge Street on the opposite side of Lake Ontario today. Muslims are a nuisance in the eyes of Trump, who has consistently uttered blatant lies – like the one about how Muslims abroad knew ahead of the plans of two mass shooters in San Bernardino, Calif. in 2015 (both of whom were long-term residents of the United States).

Such false accusations are both stupid and shameful. What’s worse is that roughly 59.7 million Americans voted to support a leader who campaigned on jibberish ramblings with little regard to truth. Anyway you cut it, those who voted

for Trump showed they were if not in favour of, at least tolerant of, discrimination, not to mention womanizing, bullying and awful hair.

Of course, it’s important to remember that the majority of American did not vote to support the Republican leader who campaigned on banning Muslims from entering the United States. Actually, it turns out Hilary Clinton won the popular vote slightly with roughly 59.9 million votes. And more than 100 million Americans didn’t vote at all.

Truthfully, notions of racism and xenophobia don’t likely manifest in the majority of Americans. But, it rests in the hearts of enough people to make racial tension precariously high in the U.S. and form an environment where a worthwhile cause, like supporting a Syrian refugee family (which would have overcome intensive screening to enter the country) is perceived as dangerous and unpatriotic.

Yet in Belleville there’s no worry over such an event. And actually about a month after the Bridge Street dinner, another warm and endearing party took place at Belleville’s Greek Hall.

On April 29, about 250 people, representing a range of ethnic backgrounds, came out to celebrate the second anniversary of the city’s signing of a Declaration Against Racism and Discrimination, a by-product of the city’s inclusion committee. The city is also a member of the Canadian Coalition of Municipalities Against Racism and Discrimination, a branch of the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization.

A couple years ago signing such a declaration might have seemed self congratulatory – any city can sign such a declaration, but it’s another thing altogether to practice anti-racism. Yet, today, given how volatile the world is, these types of promises carry more meaning.

If racism is winning in the United States, it’s losing here at home. Maybe the Mostofa and Al Mansour families are counting their lucky stars they’re in Canada, living safely in Quinte.

Campbellford hospital recognizes national doctor week Campbellford - Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) is recognizing the local family physicians that support their patients while under care at the hospital as part of National Family Doctor Week Nov. 7 – 12.

The hospital is currently supported by these family doctors: Dr. Celeste Collins, Dr. Bob Henderson, Dr. Nana Hou, Dr. Kelly Parks, Dr. Neil Pritchard, Dr. Jamie Read, Dr. Kent Tisher and Dr. Paul Williams.

“Our family physicians have multiple demands including taking care of our inpatients, providing support to patients in nursing homes, retirement homes, at the Bridge Hospice, plus their own busy community practices,” said Brad Hilker, president and CEO at CMH. “Family Doctor Week in Canada is an opportunity to recognize our family physi-

cians for their contributions towards great patient care.

The hospital is always recruiting for new physicians to support its growth and is currently recruiting family physicians and internal medicine physicians. “The vision for our in-patient care is consistent with the Central East LHIN’s vision of care closer to home. Keeping more acutely ill patients here in their local community hospital, with the care of our physicians, is a priority for us,” Hilker noted.

‘Kennedy Democrat’ bemoans election of ‘unpredictable’ Trump tween those two, chose the way they did.”

Brassard understands the frustrations of the American middle class. “I feel what underlies all of that frustration is inequality. Not just economic inequality but inequality in education, in health care – it is a very ill society. Neither party, either Democrat or Republican are actually addressing it. They aren’t successfully addressing those inequalities. For every step forward there was also another one backward.”

He points to the disparities in social programs and defence spending between Canada and the US. “That’s what has created the frustrations in middle America, the fact that few of those social needs are being met … the political establishment has not responded, so I can understand that frustration. The one thing Trump has going for him is that he owes nothing to no one. I don’t think it was the right decision but I understand.”

Brassard is hesitant to make any predictions about a Trump administration. “He’s so unpredictable. I think there’s a lot of fear among minority groups. One would just hope he doesn’t continue to stoke that fear. I’m interested in how they blame the liberals. He’s shaken up the Republicans and the Democrats.” The vast majority of his American friends and family are disappointed, says Brassard, but “For all of the bad things, it’s actually a very interesting time to be a journalist.

BY BRETT MANN

Tweed - “Profound sadness” is the reaction Raymond Brassard reports feeling on the results of the American presidential election. Brassard was born in Lowell Massachusetts (home of Jack Kerouac, he notes with pride) and first came to Canada as a bilingual camp counsellor in 1967. After moving to Montreal in 1983 for a job as copy editor for the Montreal Gazette, he embarked on a career that saw him become first managing, then executive editor of the Gazette. He retired to Queensborough with his wife Katherine Sedgwick in 2013 where he remains active in the community and St. Andrew’s United Church.

“I was a ‘Kennedy Democrat’ from Massachusetts. I was always interested in politics. I majored in history in university.” Asked about his “profound sadness” for America, Brassard observes, “It’s not so much my country anymore. I’ve been here almost 50 years. There will always be a connection, but I don’t consider it my country anymore, I really don’t. Canada is my country. Canada represents more of my values and I’m not even talking about Trump here, I’m talking about American values in general.

“I find sadness because of how he (Trump) comported himself during the campaign, obviously. I don’t have to list all of the inanities that happened.

But, also profound sadness that a woman was not able to break through that last glass ceiling. I was convinced it was going to happen. I could not believe that the American electorate, in choosing be-

Association Annual General Meeting

Public Message Provincial standard road signs mark locations where well-used roads cross into zones where municipal drinking water sources are the most vulnerable to contamination.

The road signs will alert first responders of the need to quickly inform the appropriate authorities so action can be taken to keep contaminants out of the public water treatment and distribution system.

How do Drinking Water Protection Zone signs protect public health?

Emergency responders can help to protect drinking water sources. These provincially approved Plans contain various policies including one that calls for the road signs. In the event of an accidental spill within a Drinking Water Protection Zone emergency responders can: • notify the local drinking water treatment plant operator* • notify the Spills Action Centre 1-800-268-6060 • contain the accidental spill so clean up and remediation can occur *The water treatment plant operator can shut off of the raw water supply before contaminants (that can pose a danger to public health) enter the public water treatment and distribution system.

Work on expanding power plant in Campbellford to begin in 2017

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford – Expansion of the Ranney Falls generating station will begin next year and create 80 jobs during the 30 months the project is expected to last.

These figures and other details were communicated to Trent Hills staff by Ontario Power Generation officials in a meeting held last month and reported on by director of planning Jim Peters in a report to council Nov. 1.

“Staff from OPG were looking for input into the requirements of the municipality during construction, in terms of minimizing impact of vehicular and pedestrian circulations,” Peters stated. “It was also an opportunity to discuss any other factors that might impact the community.”

The Crown corporation that produces almost half of the power used in the province plans to replace Ranney Falls’ secondary powerhouse .7 megawatt unit that has reached its end of life with a 10 MW unit in a new powerhouse. It will sit adjacent the main powerhouse which contains two turbine units, which each generate 5 MW during maximum flows.

The existing fore bay and tailrace channel will be expanded and a new spillway built to bypass station flow to the tailrace channel during emergency

“The contractor has to be aware OPG warned blasting might be required to facilitate construction of the BETTER HEARING new powerhouse BEGINS HERE. and expansion of the tailrace and it pledged to consult with Island Park Retirement Residence next door on project activities and schedules, including construction noise.

“So far it’s been positive and environment some of the residents of Island Park are actually very interested in the project,” Peters said in an interview. “I think there are some retired engineers in 470 Dundas St. E., there ... It’s more like, how close can 613.966.6653 Belleville (Bay View Mall) we get to watch this?”

OPG has been “upfront not only

that wherever they’re working they have to create safe passage for the people who are already going on the (swing) bridge and on the road,” he said.

The project’s “economic impacts” could include job creation for local

And “renewable energy is good for everybody,” Peters added. “That’s a broader benefit.”

Fundraiser for animals features “Zootopia”

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – An entertaining evening to raise money for sick and injured animals in Trent Hills will include a special screening of the movie “Zootopia”, to help raise funds for two life-saving charities, The All Creatures Trust (TACT) and The Farley Foundation.

These charities make veterinary care available for pets whose owners can’t afford their treatment and for wild animals with no other hope of relief from their suffering.

Care for needy animals is also the foundation of TACT, created in 2005 to help hurt or injured animals, both domestic and wild, with no resources to support them.

As Mark Higgins, chairman of the board of TACT points out, “Veterinary clinics receive no government funding and OHIP doesn’t exist for animals. Who is going to look after

those who can’t speak for themselves?”

From strays with broken bones to sick or injured wildlife to feral cats, all have the promise of care through TACT’s services.

Other members of the board include Wayne Buck and Joyce Blackbourn.

The Farley Foundation, whose mascot is the beloved family pet created by cartoonist Lynn Johnson, was established in 2001 by the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association to assist people in need by subsidizing the cost of essential medical care for the pets that mean the world to them. Much of the charity’s donation base comes from the veterinary community itself, which also provides administration services through its staff and volunteers.

The event kicks off at 7 p.m. on Wed., Nov. 23 with a silent auction featuring an array of high quality items perfect for those on anyone’s Christmas list. Then at 7:30 p.m., the Disney

hit “Zootopia” will be presented.

This animated gem, featuring the voices of Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman along with Shakira’s song “Try Everything”, is one of Disney’s most highly rated movies ever and great for all ages.

Tickets for the fundraiser cost $5 per person.

Donations of more than $10 to The Farley Foundation and The All Creatures Trust are fully tax deductible. All proceeds from the movie night and silent auction and any additional donations go directly to the two charities.

Dr. Katharine Wilkins of Campbellford Veterinary Services, which is sponsoring the fundraiser, said TACT is a federally registered charity that is specific to helping animals in the Trent Hills area.

Tickets are available from Campbellford Veterinary Services, 176 Bridge St. West, Campbellford, or at the door.

Stirling Council proclaims November as Lung Month to raise awareness

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling—At its meeting on Monday, Nov. 7, Stirling Council approved a request from the Ontario Lung Association to proclaim November as Lung Month in Stirling.

The proclamation is intended to increase awareness of lung health issues and to inform people of the importance of maintaining healthy lungs.

In a letter to council, Lung Association president and CEO George Habib said that more than 2.4-million people living in Ontario — one person out of every five — suffers from some form of

chronic lung disease such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). As well, 33,000 Ontarians suffering from lung cancer, a disease that kills more people than breast, colon and prostate cancers combined.

“If we don’t act today to create an action plan to deal with lung disease and the challenges to our collective breathing, the impact to Ontario’s economy by 2040, in direct and indirect costs, will grow to an astonishing $300 billion,” Habib stated.

In other council news, a bylaw was passed to reduce the speed limit on Ridge Road from 80 to 60 km/hour between

Sutherland Road and the easterly limit of the Evergreen Road intersection. The Dr. Katharine Wilkins of Campbellford Veterinary Services, sponsor of a fundraiser at the Aron Theatre to raise money for two animal charities, change takes place immediately.

The Artful Lens premiere showcases photographers

BY SUE DICKENS

Madoc – A gala night was held at the Arts Centre Hastings to celebrate the premiere of The Artful Lens, the first juried photography show and sale organized to showcase the work of photographers in the area.

There was an opening reception and awards presentation to the winners.

First place went to Judith Bain for her photograph of horses. Second place went to Sandra Lee Randle for her photograph of an Osprey, which had just caught a fish, and third place winner was Lloyd Holmes with his photo of a sunrise over Moira Lake.

The Artful Lens People’s Choice award went to Len Holmes for his “Winter Fox”.

John and Janet Foster, two of Canada’s finest nature cinematographers and television producers who have had documentaries on CBC, judged the approximately 75 photographs entered by 35 participants, professional and amateur photographers.

“They did indicate it was very, very difficult task,” said James Smith, chair of the Arts Centre Hastings committee.

“What inspired us to do this show is we are aware there are a lot of creative photographers in the area and they don’t really have a venue to show their work so we decided to provide a venue,” he explained.

The show and sale itself was about

six months in the making.

The committee includes James and Susan Adamson Smith, Len and Bev Holmes and John and Jean McDonnell.

Jean McDonnell won honourable mention for one of her photographs and it was sold at the gala.

The public had been invited to view many of the photographs the following day, as well as meet winners. A total of 49 photographs were on display at the centre in a circular setup, each 11 x 14 inch print mounted by the committee.

“We wanted to get as many as we could on display and represent as many artists as we could today,” said Smith.

For Randle the show was “exciting . . . The gala was lovely and there were lots of people.”

She moved from Markham and has joined the Madoc camera club “Through the Lens”. Her winning photograph of the Osprey was taken near Lock 7 along the Trent waterway.

“I waited and waited, I took thousands,” she said grinning.

Holmes said he took his winning photograph at Moira Lake at 5:20 a.m. in August. “I know that’s a good lake for sunrises. You can go there every morning every day of the year and never get the same thing. I saw the boat coming so I waited and took three different pictures.” He also received honourable mention for a photo of a northern harrier with a bird it had just caught.

Final design for new rec centre in Campbellford close to completion

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills – The final design of a multi-used recreational facility in Campbellford is slowly taking shape, showing a regulation National Hockey League-sized arena and an eightlane 25-metre swimming pool for holding competitions.

The centre, which will be built at the fairgrounds when federal and provincial funding becomes available, also includes two other pools, one for leisure, the other for therapy, as well as sauna and steam rooms, and a multipurpose room that can accommodate up to 200 people or be divided into two when required.

The facility is being designed by Lett Architects Inc in Peterborough.

Michael Gallant, an architect with the firm, presented an updated schematic design to Trent Hills council members Nov. 1 that reflected input they had provided at a meeting in September. It also contained elements found in recreational facilities council members had toured earlier in the

year in places such as Bradford.

As a result of the direction Lett was given at the first meeting with council, the firm reduced the size of the build-

ing by roughly 21,600 square feet to 84,000 square feet and cut up to $6.5 million from the original estimate of $30 million by taking out the gymnasium, Gallant said.

An area on the south side of the building has been earmarked as an “amenity outdoor space” where uses could include splash pads in the summer and an outdoor rink in the winter, Gallant said.

The rink and natatorium (indoor swimming pool) would sit one-and-ahalf metres below regular grade and be accessed by a ramp, as would the seating on the third level, eliminating the need for an elevator.

Gallant said the corridors form a loop and “could be a walking track”; there’s also sufficient space to create an activity area for children.

The viewing area for the rink could accommodate more than 500 people and 50 for the competition pool.

“We still have lots more work to do depending on the feedback that we receive,” Gallant told council.

The next steps include doing design

briefs and a costing the project for the final report that will include a threedimensional rendering of the building.

“You would have a full schematic design package that would be ready for any kind of grant applications or campaign momentum that you might want to pursue,” he said.

“I’m really impressed,” Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan said.

“It’s awesome. Now we’ve just got to build it.”

Councillor Cathy Redden said the decision not to put in elevators is “brilliant” because it will save in “long-term operational costs” and avoid future issues.

Councillor Rick English said he was “a little concerned” with the amount of seating provided, especially for the swimming pool, and suggested a way be found to furnish more.

Gallant said there is “flexibility” built into the design to allow for adjustments “without changing the whole building around.”

Campbellford – Friends of Ferris (FoF) held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) recently and the new board discussed plans for 2017 that are high on their agenda.

“One of our 2017 initiatives is to purchase and install new playground equipment,” said Barb Hogan, president of this non-profit group of volunteers.

Celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday throughout 2017 is also a priority while the group continues to fine tune many of the activities that have become a part of the landscape at the park including the annual kite day (May 28) and the annual dry stone wall restoration/demonstration (Aug.

19 and 20).

As well the group is continuing with its initiative “Memories of Ferris Provincial Park,” creating a memory book with submissions from residents and visitors describing stories or special events that have taken place in the park.

“We have a membership of 54, which is lower than some years,” noted Hogan.

They are renewing membership fees for 2017 but until the end of 2016 the cost is $10 single and $17 for a family.

“We encourage everyone to become a Friend of Ferris and appreciate any financial contributions or volunteer hours. We welcome

any suggestions and ideas for park improvements or events from the public,” said Hogan.

A staunch supporter of the park she noted, I believe the park has so much to offer the community. We promote the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge and the park which brings tourism to the area in the form of both campers and sightseers.”

As well FoF promotes local businesses as it is within walking distance of town.

He said no decision has been made on the facility’s exterior.

“I don’t want a tin barn,” KelleherMacLennan said, but she wouldn’t object to metal siding being used “as long as it can be dressed up.”

Gallant said his firm should have a final package for council to consider within six to eight weeks.

Deputy Mayor Bob Crate said he was also impressed by what Lett had accomplished in blending its ideas with council’s to come up with something that “would definitely be a great attribute to the community.”

“We’re very excited about the project,” Gallant responded.

come back with some ideas and plans. “Let’s stop the idea of searching for a tenant and develop plans for the future on another scale,” he said.

“Staff is going to be building a budget pretty soon and they are going to need to know if they can count on this revenue or not,” he added.

“We need to think out of the box and bring services to us in a cost effective manner. This gives us the opportunity to do so while applying for grants to do the restructuring.”

The Mayor also noted that about two years ago the municipality spent $25,000 to $30,000 revamping the whole building.

Deputy Mayor Linda Bracken commented. “The reality is we’ve had it up for lease since August. We need change and our medical centre is full. There is no room.”

It was the mayor who suggested striking a two-person committee to investigate possibilities.

“We should get more serious about what we’re doing here, because if we all go home and say we’re going to do something different it’s not going to happen,” he added.

A motion to form a committee of two, Deputy Mayor Linda Bracken and Councillor Elaine Jones, to investigate the possibility of other uses other than residential for the upper floor of the Memorial Building, was approved.

“We’ll look forward to your report back to us when you have something,” said the mayor.

The Memorial Building, built in 1928, is home to the library, Helping Hands Food Bank and the Marmora Historical Foundation.

Norwood – The Norwood Santa Claus parade will have more verve this year with more floats, bands, a theme and a $1,000 assist from the municipality.

The 2015 parade had a record low number of floats for the evening parade although the traditional tree lighting and fireworks by the fire department were colourful and drew large crowds to the intersection of Highway 7 and County Road 45.

This year’s parade with its theme of “Christmas Musicals” will be different,” says parade committee chair Jeff McNiece.

“We’re looking to building it back much bigger than where it used to be,” McNiece said. “We’re putting a lot of effort into it and the township (and businesses) are behind it 100 per cent.”

“The legion has taken it over as the host body of the Christmas festival and taken it back to where it was,” he said.

Along with the floats McNiece says they’ve also hired two bands and are looking for a third.

The fire department is still “very involved” in the event with traffic control, the fireworks and making sure Santa arrives on time.

Stirling—For the third year, the Stirling Rotary Club is holding an on-line Christmas auction to raise money for the community.

The auction opened at noon on Tuesday, Nov. 15, and runs until Nov. 29.

“Thanks to the generosity of many area businesses and thoughtful individuals, we have an impressive lineup of over 35 unique items up for bids,” said Rotarian Terry Vollum. “This is a terrific opportunity for early-bird shoppers to snap up a gift for those impossible-to-buy-for people on their Christmas list without the hassle of rushing from store to store.”

Sports items up for bids include an official James van Riemsdyk autographed jersey, courtesy of the Toronto Maple Leafs, two tickets to an O t t awa Senat o r s ’ g a m e and an

overnight stay at the Holiday Inn in Kanata, green fee passes to Warkworth Golf, Salt Creek Golf Links, and Oak Hills Golf and a pair of box seats to a 2017 regular season Blue Jays game. The seats are in the ninth row directly behind home plate.

“As well, there are gift certificates for area restaurants, theatre tickets, plus all kinds of specialty items you won’t find in any store,” Vollum said. “You can even bid on a package that includes a three-course gourmet meal for four at the home of master chefs Irene and Andrew Marre. Or you might be interested in a day of sailing for two followed by a delicious dinner.”

He said all proceeds from the Christmas online auction will stay in the community to help organizations such as the Stirling Community Cupboard and Kim Finkle’s Christmas sharing baskets program.

McNiece, a former township firefighter, helped organize the parade when he was on the department.

The need to do something to revive the once flourishing parade was obvious and even township council weighed in approving ten $100 “bursaries” to be used on a first come first served basis for individuals and groups building a float.

“They’re way ahead of us. They’ve kind of revived it,” said township CAO-ClerkTreasurer Candice White.

Having the bursaries available “generates a conversation” about the parade, White added.

White says the idea for bursaries was drawn from another municipality that used a similar initiative to infuse life in a moribund parade.

Council praised the Firefighters Association for their efforts but suggested there were things the community could do to help grow the event. A passport program developed by the economic development advisory committee is also being rolled out.

The traditional meet and greet with Santa at the town hall is hosted by the Norwood Lions and Lioness Clubs.

Council to research potable water plan

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora – A plan to provide potable water to haulers during drought conditions is being considered by Marmora and Lake Council. The decision to ask for a report on the matter was made at a recent council meeting after Councillor Sandy Fraser brought the idea forward during the new business session.

“Around here it hasn’t been too bad but (the drought) has been almost catastrophic for Prince Edward with wells going dry,” he told council, while adding that the lack of a plan

came to light as the result of a letter from Quinte Conservation saying they are trying to make a plan.

A Level 3 low water condition was declared this summer by Quinte Conservation and the Low Water Response Team due to lack of rainfall and low flows in local rivers and streams.

“Quinte Conservation had a lot of phone calls,” noted Councillor Fraser, who said he spoke to a man from Stirling who draws potable water and he wanted to know if he could get his truck filled in Marmora to relieve pressure on people. He has had to either go to Campbellford or Belleville.

“We can’t do it . . . we don’t have the hookup to do potable water,� said Councillor Fraser. “What I would like to recommend maybe we could get together with staff and find out our cost. Towns like Madoc and Stirling are on wells and they can’t be giving water out during a dry period because their wells are going dry . . . It will also provide a way to provide potable water for our own residents.�

Danford Grizzlies go 2-2 at Silver Stick minor hockey tournament Central Hastings – The Danford Construction Novice Grizzlies headed out to Pembroke to play in the 32nd annual Silver stick Tournament on the weekend.

The first game was against the Muskrat Voyageurs, who had an onslaught of offensive chances to start the game, even with Rheanna Smith making a lot of saves the Grizzlies would end the game on the wrong side of a 7-0 score.

The second game was Friday evening vs the Deep River Knights. Opening the scoring was Taitum Rosborough with an assist to Carter Rowles.

The Knights would not go away and score back-to-back goals however, the lead would be short lived as Rosborough would add another to tie the game. The Grizzlies were determined to avenge the morning loss and would see Keegan Goulah score followed by Rosborough’s hat trick and he added a fourth goal of the game in the 2nd period. The Grizzlies would not take the

3rd period off and continued to fill the net with goals from Goulah and Rowles with 2 each to give the Grizzlies an 8-2 win and head into Saturday with a 1-1 record.

Saturday would see the Grizzlies have one game against the Mariposa Lightning. The Grizzlies would not slow down and opened the scoring when Rhys Adair tallied from Jonas McCoy and Gavin Black. In the 2nd period the Grizzlies would get goals from Rowles, Liam Prevost assist to McCoy and Goulah and then Goulah from Prevost before the Lightning would add their first.

The Lightning would add another to start the 3rd but McCoy would quickly answer back with an assist from Black and Jake Gawley rounded out the scoring. With the 6-2 win the Grizzlies were 2-1 on the weekend.

Sunday morning the Grizzlies would play the Powassan Hawks, who opened the scoring in the 2nd period.

Goulah answered back to tie the game

but the Hawks were just too much to handle while Smith played well in net the Hawks would prevail 4-1 ending the weekend for the Grizzlies with a 2-2 record.

Up next for the Grizzlies is a home game in Marmora against the Gananoque Islanders on Nov. 20 at 1:30 p.m.

Novice Grizzlies This past weekend the Centre Hastings Atom Grizzlies travelled to Pembroke for the Regional Silver Stick Tournament, as well.

The Grizzlies made it through the round robin portion of the tournament without a loss, coming up with a pair of 3-2 wins and a 1-1 tie. In their semi-final match-up against a very strong team from Deep River, the Grizzlies fell 7-1 and were eliminated from the tournament. Throughout the weekend, Jacob Heard led the way offensively with 2 goals and 4 assists.

Other scorers included; Zach Kennedy with 1 goal and 3 assists, Ryder

Adair with 2 goals, Nolan Arsenault with 1 goal and 2 assists and James Johnson with a goal and an assist. Issac Allen and Landon Curtis rounded out the scoring with an assist each.

Overall the team had strong defensive play and great goaltending by Jackson Croskery. Congratulations to Grizzlies on a great weekend and making it into the semi-finals.

Bantam Grizzlies It was a tale of two teams for the Ontario Truss & Wall Bantam Grizzlies over the weekend. The Grizzlies headed south to the County to take on the PEC Kings on Saturday November 12. It was a close affair early on, with the Kings opening the scoring, but Karsten Leonard took the puck end to end and ripped a slap shot top corner to tie it up with the lone, and rare, assist going to goalie Owen McMaster.

That was it for Grizzly scoring as they fell into penalty trouble in the

Rebels yet to win, Stars drop 11th in 12 games

www.krown.com/trenton

Campbellford – If there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, it must be around the bend, because it’s been nothing but darkness for the Campbellford Rebels since the season opened.

The team dropped a pair of games to the Gananoque Islanders on the weekend, 7-3 at home Nov. 12 and 7-2 on the road Nov. 13.

Austin Vallier and Mike Chambers scored for the Rebels in Sunday’s contest. Vallier also got a goal in Saturday’s loss while Nicholas Grosjean notched a pair.

Campbellford has yet to win a game after 16 matches and has been outscored 120-28 by its rivals in the Tod Division of the Provincial Junior Hockey League’s East Conference. The Islanders’ two wins on the weekend pushed them four points ahead of the fourth-place Picton Pirates,

second half of the game and never recovered from it, resulting in a 6-1 loss.

The OTW Grizzlies didn’t have long to dwell on the defeat, as the next day they took another trip south to Brighton where they skated their way to a convincing 8-2 victory over the Braves.

It was a physical tilt but in the end the Grizzlies would display their scoring punch with goals by Leonard (5), Kevin Clarke (2) and Treyton Finch.

Assists to Finch (3), Ben Portt (2), Kobe Dostaler, Cameron Forestell, Maerek Skalba, Colby Laviolette, Jordan Oliver and Leonard. It was a strong defensive effort with Laviolette and Jacob Kennedy leading the way with support from the goaltending duo of McMaster and Carson Ellis.

Norwood Nemesis pick up first road win in CPJHL play

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood – An overtime goal by hometown hero Daniel Bennett gave the Norwood J.J. Stewart Nemesis a 5-4 win over the Glengarry Highlanders Nov. 12 in Canadian Premier Junior Hockey League action.

It was Norwood’s first CPJHL road win.

The Nemesis (1-13-0-1) played even with third place (8-8-0-0-3) in an exciting tilt that was back and forth with

the Highlanders looking poised to win when they squeezed in front 4-3 with four minutes to play.

But Norwood showed their resilience with Garrett Ouellette knotting the score 32 seconds later to force overtime where Bennett, with help from Ouellette and Kyle Ross, ended the game beating Glengarry goalie Tyler Fitzgerald.

Ouellette’s equalizer was his second CPJHL scoring leader Felix Stegoal of the game. Mitch Madgett also phen notched a hat trick for the Highscored for Norwood.

landers.

Norwood wasn’t quite as lucky Nov. 13 when they hosted the east division’s second place O-Town Rebels.

The Nemesis jumped out to a 1-0 lead when newcomer Brett Holden scored at the 7:20 mark of the first period but the Rebels replied with five straight goals to jump in front 5-1 lead.

Ross, from Thomas Cameron, made it 5-2 with 5:33 left in the second.

Nemesis buzz: Norwood travels to

Altmonte Nov. 19 to take on the first place Jr. Sharpshooters (12-2-0-1-1) then host the Highlanders the following night at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre.

The Nemesis continue to add to their roster and have signed Brett Holden, Nick Harris and Riley Morgan. Morgan is familiar to Peterborough Junior Laker lacrosse fans and brings a big physical presence to the Nemesis.

Quinte Saints crowned junior COSSA football champs Belleville – It took 61 years, but the Quinte Junior Saints are the Central Ontario High School “AA” junior football champions.

On Wed. Nov. 9, Quinte juniors scored all of their points in the second half to beat Adam Scott Lions of Peterborough 16-8 at Paul Paddon Field. Jake Akey scored on a 60-yard punt return followed by a Mack Kinnear 33 yard touchdown run. In the Junior “AAA” final, the Thomas A. Stewart Griffins defeated the Centennial Chargers 53-17.

With the victory, Saints qualify for the 2016 National Capital Bowl final, Saturday, Nov. 26 at Beckwith Field in Carleton Place. Saints will face the EOSSA champion, yet to be determined.

It was the reverse of fortunes for Adam Scott’s seniors, who travelled to Belleville Thursday for the senior AA COSSA final, besting Centennial Chargers 11-9 in a grinding, 70-yard march down the field in the fourth quarter to stun the hometown crowd.

Chargers led 9-4 in the dying minutes of the fourth quarter, but Adam Scott relentlessly drove upfield and, aided by a litany of penalties on the part of the defending Chargers,

A QSS player tries to break a tackle in the COSSA championship game. Stephen Petrick/Metroland drove home the dagger with 1:21 on the clock on a play action pass from the five yard line. The desperate Chargers lost all hope and the game with a last-minute interception and a string of personal fouls that followed.

To carry the lead throughout the game, Centennial’s Brock Prescott caught a beauty of a pass from Brady Crowe that covered 45 yards for a Centennial touchdown in the first half, converted by Brody Preston.

Following that, Adam Scott conceded a safety for two and that was the sum of Chargers’ scoring on the day.

In the COSSA AAA final, the Moira Trojans, who fell to Centennial one week previously in the Bay of Quinte final, took a thumping from Peterborough Crestwood Mustangs.

Thursday at Peterborough, the Trojans were defeated 37-8 by Mustangs after Peterborough quarterback Ryan Astrom threw three touchdown passes.

So thorough was the dominance, the home team led 30-0 before halftime. Despite his quarterback’s dominance in the passing game, Crestwood coach Shane Oldfield praised his team’s rushing attack as the key to success.

Hastings Social Services Committee pleased with job numbers

BY JACK EVANS

It was a good news day for the Hastings/Quinte Social Services Committee at its last meeting.

The best of that news was a report showing a significant drop in welfare case numbers, thanks largely to the department’s “Employment Connection� program. During October, it filled 75 jobs, generating an average wage of $12.68 an hour, well above the minimum wage. Since the program was

A breakdown of the jobs by sector showed 35 per cent retail customer service sector, 30 per cent manufacturing, 20 per cent general labour and 11 per cent in trades.

In other good news, the committee was informed of a sharp increase in the province’s support for public housing for next year. The amount could be as high as $176,000

Honey, shrimp, beer – signs of region’s diverse ag/food industry

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – A great party could be hosted with products made by Eastern Ontario businesses that received the Premier’s award for agri-food innovation this year.

A shrimp producer, a honey maker, a producer of fermented goods and, oh yes, a brewer were among the businesses honoured at a ceremony at Loyalist College on Wednesday, Nov. 9. An innovative recycling business also took home the prestigious award.

It all left those in attendance with a wholesome feeling; that Eastern Ontario is a region with a vibrant agriculture industry and plenty of successful businesses that can help the provincial economy grow Ceremony host Lou Rinaldi, the Liberal MPP for Northumberland-Quinte West, said the province has a goal of creating 120,000 jobs in agriculture by 2020. “With your help we’re on the way to reaching that goal,” he said.

Here are details on each winner: First Ontario Shrimp Ltd., Campbellford Inspired by reports of indoor aquaculture in the U.S., the Cocchio family set out to become Ontario’s first shrimp producers. The family secured an aquaculture licence, installed 16 saltwater tanks in a converted hog barn and worked with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to import feed and shrimp larvae.

With their closed loop system, the Cocchios can produce 136 kilograms of Pacific white shrimp a week.

Honey Pie Hives and Herbals, Milford

Innovation has helped Honey Pie Hives and Herbals, a Prince Edward County operation, keep buzzing with Bay Woodyard and Gavin North selling their honey and transforming their wax into candles and lotion, making sure nothing goes to waste. They also extract value from the water used to rinse the honey-covered wax uncappings. Instead of tossing the water, the duo ferment it to produce mead, an ancient type of wine.

MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Co., Bath On their 232-year-old family farm, Daniel and Ivan MacKinnon are taking local to a new level. In response to demand for locally produced beer, the two brothers converted a century barn into a brewing facility. Today, the operation produces beet-infused ales, German wheat beers and wild peppermint stouts, all made with their own hops, wheat and malting barley.

Loyalist students host “swab clinic� with hopes of saving lives

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – Get swabbed – it might just allow you to save someone’s life.

That was the message delivered to visitors to Loyalist College’s cafeteria on Wednesday, Nov. 9, where a group of nursing students were holding a clinic to fill a stem cell and marrow network database.

The event was held with help from Canadian Blood Services, which manages the network called OneMatch.

People aged 17 to 35 were eligible to participate. They were asked to complete a health screening and consent to participate form.

They were then asked to put cotton swabs in their mouths to collect swabs of saliva.

Those swabs would be sent off to a lab and screened to see if they can potentially save the life of someone in need of a stem cell or bone marrow transplant, such as someone suffering from leukemia or an immune system disorder.

Samantha Robinson, a student leading the effort, pointing out that if anyone who’s donated a swab gets a call saying they’re a match for a patient in need “you’re likely one

of the few people who can save that person’s life.�

She said that people in need of a transplant only have a 25 per cent chance of finding a match within their own family – that’s why it’s important for the database to collect as many samples as possible.

When a person is deemed to be a match, they are then asked to undergo additional testing to determine the full extent of compatibility. If the person passes all tests and is agreeable to help, OneMatch will make it easy for them to do so – and even compensate them for travel and accommodation costs for a procedure.

If a person is donating stem cells, they will be asked to take a drug called granulocte colony stimulating factor for four or five days and then have blood drawn through a needle.

To donate bone marrow, there’s a surgical procedure.

Robinson said she and her fellow students wanted to break down some of the myths about bone marrow and stem cell donations. Many people assume it’s a painful ordeal, but they should instead

Miranda Dickerson (left) and Samantha Robinson were among the nursing students helping out at the Swab it clinic at Loyalist College.

look at it as an exciting opportunity to help another person.

Those who greeted potential swabbers at the cafeteria on Wednesday cheerfully asked “would you do anything to save someone’s life.�

Robinson was one of a small group of stu-

dents participating in the clinic as an extracurricular activity, as it wasn’t part of their curriculum.

Their goal was to get 50 people to donate to the database. By the end of the clinic, they had obtained 100.

for Leaders in the Madoc Tweed and Belleville Areas What is 4-H? Everywhere in the world, 4-H is based on a “Learn to do by Doing� philosophy. At its core, 4-H is a grassroots organization of leaders building leaders.

The four H’s stand for head, heart, hands and health. In Ontario, 4-H member’s aged 9-21 come together with volunteer leaders to create a 4-H club, where members learn about a selected topic through hands on activities and mentorship. In the Cloverbud’s Program youth ages 6-8 work with volunteer leaders on a variety of units, giving them a 4-H experience over the course of a year.

4-H clubs are comprised of a minimum of six 4-H Members and two trained, screened volunteers who act as club leaders. The club decides on a topic and through leader instruction and hands-on learning, members spend 12 hours or more exploring the topic during the meetings. 4-H members can belong to as many clubs as they wish.

The Membership fee for 2017 is $85.00.

United Way of Quinte changes name to United Way of Hastings & Prince Edward

The local United Way chapter has a new name to better establish the region it serves.

The former United Way of Quinte is now the United Way of Hastings Prince Edward.

“The change to Hastings & Prince Edward is more representative of the organization’s catchment area,” said executive director Judi Gilbert. “As the organization has evolved and the agencies supported has grown to include all of Hastings and Prince Edward it made perfect sense to have a name that reflects our entire area of focus.”

“This has been on our radar and has been a priority for the organization and we are thrilled with the change,” she added.

Today, the local United Way supports more than 75 programs that fall within the boundaries of Hastings & Prince Edward counties, as far north to Maynooth, east to Deseronto, south to the shores of Lake Ontario and west to the Brighton border.

The local United Way held its first board meeting in May of 1958 when it was known as Community Chest.

In 1968 the name was changed to United Community Services of Belleville & District. This name remained until 1992 when the organization became United Way of Quinte.

Gilbert noted there is currently a misconception that because the United Way office is located in Belleville it does not provide significant support to organizations in smaller rural centres.

“The name change sends a very clear message to our stakeholders, corporate partners, individual donors and volunteers that our focus continues to be the entire region and in addition to continu-

ing to support programs throughout Hastings & Prince Edward it is equally important that we continue to look for donor support from each small town, rural community and city within Hastings & Prince Edward Counties like Madoc, Quinte West, Picton, Tweed and Bancroft,” said Gilbert.

In 2015, the communities of Hastings & Prince Edward counties helped United Way of Quinte raise more than $2.1 million, which assisted the organization in funding more than 75 local programs and initiatives throughout Hastings & Prince Edward counties.

Members Approve the Merger of Bayshore Credit Union and QuintEssential Credit Union November 9, 2016

Ambulance tenders sought for county EMS

BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County - Expenditures totalling close to three quarters of a million dollars for new ambulances without tender calls aroused concern for Quinte West Coun. Dave McCue at the Hastings/Quinte Emergency Services Committee last week.

When he first broached his concerns, he was told that tenders were called a few years ago and the company the committee is using was by far the lowest and best quality at that time. A second company (there are only two in the business) was used for one or two vehicles, but this led to lack of uniformity for placement and type of equipment on board as well as parts replacement problems.

Nonetheless McCue continue to pursue his hope for tenders for such major expenditures, fielding a motion calling for tenders to be used for the next go- round of purchases.

The service normally buys at least four and sometimes five such vehicles per year.

Warden Rick Phillips agreed with his concern, but said that rather than lock the committee into a new system right away, a report from staff should be sought first. McCue agreed to amend his motion accordingly.

Members also reviewed a “multicasualty incident” which took place Oct. 14 on Highway 28 in the northern part of neighbouring Lennox and Addington. As Bancroft was the nearest hospital, that was where most were taken and treated. A busload of seniors was involved and

the local medical and hospital staff, plus some Hastings emergency and ambulance personnel, all pitched in to help, drawing a hearty expression of praise. Some 26 patients were transported from the scene with 16 to North Hastings hospital, 12 by ambulance and 26 moved to various hospitals. The incident also involved police and fire crews and Quinte Health Care officials.

Bayshore Credit Union and QuintEssential Credit Union today announced that their members have overwhelmingly approved the merger of the two financial institutions.

At meetings held on November 7th and 8th, the members approved a resolution to amalgamate the two credit union’s effective December 31, 2016. This was the final regulatory step in a process which began in June of this year. The approval of the Financial Services Commission of Ontario was received on September 29, 2016.

The approval of the members now paves the way for Quinte First Credit Union Limited to begin operations on January 1, 2017. Quinte First Credit Union will be the only community owned financial institution in Quinte. With assets of over $188,000,000 and more than 14,000 members, Quinte First will serve the community through two branches in Belleville, two branches in Trenton and a fifth branch in Frankford. With five branches and a total of seven ATMs, Quinte First will have one of the largest networks in the area.

Carrie Gregoire, the current President and CEO of QuintEssential Credit Union will assume the same role for Quinte First. She describes the merger in these terms, “The creation of Quinte First will allow our community to benefit from one strong, engaged, truly local credit union. All of our decisions will be made locally and all of our investments will continue to help grow our strong and vibrant community. With 120 years of combined service to the residents of Quinte, Quinte First will further our vision of improving lives and strengthening our community. We’re pleased to be delivering co-operative banking with a partner such as Bayshore; this is truly a partnership of equals.”

Joe Bell, current CEO of Bayshore Credit Union will take on the new role of Vice-President of Operations. He stated that, “This merger creates a very exciting prospect for our members and the community as a whole. The community will now have a truly local financial institution for all of their banking needs both personal and business. As the only locally owned, member driven financial institution in the region, Quinte First Credit Union presents a unique value proposition that no other financial institution in the region can match.”

More help for CAS children

BY JACK EVANS

A good number of children in care with the Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society stand to benefit from a new provincial program to increase subsidies for post secondary education and families on low incomes.

Dwayne Stacey, a staffer with the agency, said the program was first announced some months ago but then put out to field workers like himself last summer for input.

Now the province is preparing to get it un-

der way. Designed especially to encourage higher education, funding will be available for CAS wards and adopted children in low income families. The package may include scholarships and also enhanced living allowances, he said.

With some 400 children in care across the agency’s three-county area of Hastings, Northumberland and Prince Edward counties, “I know this will be of benefit to a good number of our children,” Stacey said in a telephone interview.

Truck and cow crash kills Angus Thurlow – It was a dark-night encounter between a black cow and a transport truck that didn’t end well for either the cow or the truck driver.

Fire officials said the collision occurred at about 2:45 a.m. today in the north lane of Highway 37 near Harmony Road.

Volunteer firefighters from Firehall 4 in Thurlow were called to the scene and found a double-trailer semi-truck operated by UPS which had entered a steep ditch

at a high rate of speed.

Fire officials said the collision occurred when a “black Angus cow” ran into the roadway and struck the cab of the truck.

The truck had reportedly been carrying volatile liquids, but none spilled and the driver received only minor scrapes in the crash.

The cow died in the collision.

Provincial police and heavy wreckers remained on the scene into the daylight hours.

“Beanstock” panto crew start rehearsals

BY JACK EVANS

TICO#50007364

There’s an incident reported from the famous Battle of Waterloo when one of Wellington’s generals, admiring a particularly successful advance, yells out to the commanding officer: “Good beans, Wellington.” Wellington’s reply as recorded was: “My good man, if there’s one thing about which I know practically nothing, it is beans.”

It remains to be seen whether the highpowered cast of this season’s annual pantomime at the Stirling Festival Theatre ‘Jack and the Beanstalk,” can shed any light on this. For one thing, there’s definitely a Panto cast – Left to right at the start of rehearsals, front row, are: Megan Sadler, Deb- battle between a youthful hero named jack and a “giant” corporation, which is trying bie Collins and JP Baldwin; back row- Matthew Lawrence, Stefne Mercedes, Jacqueline to take over the family farm. There’s also Sadler, music director, Don Thompson and Amir Haidar. the usual cross dresser, played again by JP Jack Evans/Metroland Baldwin and a fairy, by Debbie Collins, both regulars in the cast.

The role of Jack will be played by Don GoMcCoy.com Thompson, a young Foxboro native who 613-969-8884 has made a name for himself as a standup 81 Millennium PKWY.

day break at Christmas, and ending with a New Year Eve dinner party and show.

Smith also improvised a “naughty” version of the show, another British tradition.

She is credited with “inventing” this aspect of a pantomime in Ontario. It is a tricky procedure, as the naughty lines must be improvised by cast members. That means using an almost completely different script for the same show and avoiding mixing them up.

This week marks the first full week of rehearsals for the cast, starting with a traditional meet and greet in the theatre’s upstairs lounge and a first read-through. It is a brief time of fellowship, getting caught up on the comings and goings across Ontario and Canada by fellow actors, then getting down to business with the script.

Writer of the original new script for this year’s show is again Ken McDougall, who will also be show director.

The cast will include (of course) Debbie Collins as the “Fairy of the Field,” JP Baldwin, in drag as usual, as Jack’s mother, Pearle; Dan Curtis Thompson as Jack Jr.; Megan Poole, as Jacklyn, (Jack’s sister); Matthew Lawrence, as “The Mayor”; Gail Friday (the CEO’s personal assistant), played by Stefne Mercedes; and Charles Edward Olgbogle (CEO and Villain), by Amir Haidar. Jacqueline Sadler is music director.

The show opens Nov. 25 and runs through Dec. 31. Family panto prices are $12 to $28 with a family four pack of $68; naughty panto is $19 to $40; New Year’s Even naughty show is $44 to $49 plus $34 for dinner.

ANNIVERSARY

WILFRED JOHN POUND December 25, 1919 – November 10, 2016 In the dawn of a new day as the sunlight broke on the horizon Wilfred John Pound passed away at home surrounded by the love of his family.

Wilf was blessed to have spent 66 years with the love of his life Melba (Rorabeck). He will be sadly missed but joyfully remembered by their children Shelley, Paula, Carla and Ritchie as well as sons in law Craig and Bill. Wilf loved following the lives and sharing joy in the activities and accomplishments of their grandchildren, Paige and her husband Mario Paz, Jenner and Kelsey Stevenson and Bailey and Ashley Pryke. Great grandbaby Kaedyn brought a smile and twinkle to Wilf’s eyes.

Wilf is fondly remembered by sister Kate and predeceased by his parents Fredrick James and Mable Annie (Page) and siblings Ken, Fred, Vern, Victor, Eva and Bob. Born in Brighton, Wilf, like many other young men joined the local militia in 1936. When the war broke out in 1939 he joined the Midland Regiment and guarded key locations across Canada. After arriving in England in 1943, he became a Cameron Highlander of Ottawa for the remainder of the war.

Upon his return to Brighton in 1945 he became a local barber and in 1952 began working in the post office, becoming the post master in 1957 until his retirement in 1979. Wilf was very active in the community as a 77-year member and a past president of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 100, a Mason, a member of Trinity St. Andrew’s United Church and the Brighton Curling Club. Wilf and Melba’s travels back to the beaches of Normandy and to Holland for commemorative ceremonies were highlights of their lives.

Wilf was recognized in 2012 with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal and in 2014, awarded the rank of Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour for his D Day participation.

Wilf leaves behind an everlasting legacy of kindness, bravery, generosity and love and he will be sadly missed, always respected, forever loved and always in the hearts of the family he cherished.

We will celebrate the life of this much loved and respected man at Trinity St. Andrew’s United Church Saturday November 19th at 11 AM. Visitation on Friday at Brighton Funeral Home from 2-4 PM and 7-9 PM. Our deepest gratitude to Dr. MacIntyre and Peter Arbiter and their staffs, VON nurses, PSWs, CCAC, and Veterans’ Affairs whose support and assistance allowed Wilf to stay at “home”.

Should you wish to make a memorial donation perhaps you might consider the Homeless Veterans’ Assistance Fund: Operation Leave the Streets Behind: the Canadian Veteran Service Dog Unit: Audeamus Inc.: or Trinity St. Andrew’s building fund.

B22 Section B - Thursday, November 17, 2016

Dan Clost Gardens are full of prickly things, mostly plants but sometimes people. Prickly people should not be in a garden unless they’ve entered therein for a self-therapy session. There are times when I’m a titch out of sorts and few minutes spent in the gar-

den restores my wellbeing.

However, prickly plants is the topic for today and the idea was to make a top five list of the most prickly, yet beneficial, plants.

For the purpose of this column- thorns, spines and prickles are interchangeable in terms of consequence. (A thorn is a wanna-be stem, spines are wanna-be leaves and prickles can be described as a nasty skin rash. The hort boffins will say something along the lines that a spine, e.g., is an evolutionary modification of a leaf developed as a protection against indiscriminate browsing. I’m sticking with my “wanna-be” descriptor because given their druthers, a fully developed leaf basking in the warmth of the sun is a lot more fun than just sticking out like a sore thumb waiting to give someone a sore thumb.)

5. Echinops ritro, Globe thistle, This is not a plant where you grab a mittful of stems.

The leaves terminate in spiny bits that are quite adept at penetrating even the most calloused gardener’s palm. And that is the only bad thing to be said about this underused lovely. Perhaps it is because it takes a few years for a clump to establish itself ? Or perhaps it is because it receives too much TLC? Veitch’s Blue produces golf-ball sized flowers just a titch on the blue side of violet atop silvery stems which are protected by those formidable dark green leaves.

This lassie prefers not-rich soil, not-moist soil, not-cool soil (read full sun), and not much care. It should be a mainstay in any xeriscaping design.

4. Opuntia sp, aka prickly pear cactus.

There are actually four species of cacti native to Canada although the prickly pear is the most suited to our local gardens; in fact, there was a grouping of little prickly pear, continued on pg 23

The Good Earth Five of our favourite prickly plants - continued

O. fragilis, found to be growing happily to the southwest of Ottawa. Here is a ground hugging, yellow-flowered plant that will happily share a bed with Sea Holly, providing a wonderful contrast to challenge any designer. How many of you thought that Canadian Hardiness Zone 4a would be acceptable? It is not the most handsome plant but there is an appealing ruggedness that can be used to advantage.

3. Rosa spp.

For this category, the Fairy Rose scratches its way to the top of the ouch scale; one might even ascribe “vicious” to the recurved barbs which easily penetrate the thickest leather gloves. The safest way to prune Fairy is to hire out the job. However, once the trimming is finished, this lassie will adorn itself in a continuous bloom of dainty pink flowers from mid-July to late November in most years.

This polyantha (many little flowers) is ideal for as an accent or medium sized borders.

Make Room for Family Adventures.

Buy and Sell Locally.

2. Eleutherococcus sieboldianus (once called Acanthopanax) but we prefer to say Five-leaf Aralia because any plant needing more than four syllables is just showing off.

There is nothing overly showy about this chappie other than the dark green palmate leaves which, as a background, can be useful. Here is a plant that stretches up to 8’ in dry shady areas; think small urban lots where tall buildings act as canyon walls and ground water is almost non-existent.

1. Berberis thunbergii, Japanese barberry.

From short yellow ground huggers to well behaved deep burgundy globes to taller ramblers of green with outstanding fall colour, there is a spot in almost any estate. Why does this chappie make it to number one on this list? The piercing spines make an impenetrable barrier that even the toughest alley cat can’t get through.

That’s my top five, feel free to add your own.
