Peace prayer vigil solemn, silent and memorable
By Brett Mann
Tweed – More than 30 people gathered on a chilly November Sunday evening recently to quietly offer prayers for peace in Tweed Memorial Park. With the moon mostly hidden by clouds and the temperature hovering around the freezing point, the group stood in a semi-circle in the darkness, each holding a lit candle. Sev-
eral of the ministers (and a priest) present read prayers prepared for the occasion. Salvation Army Major Patsy Rowe began with a prayer for the many suffering around the world and asked “even as we enter this season of Advent and celebrate the Prince of Peace, may You, the God of all peace and comfort be their source of peace and strength.” As did the other pastors, Major Rowe prayed
for wisdom for world leaders in their decision-making. Reverend Caroline Giesbrecht of St. John’s United Church added her prayers saying, “We acknowledge Your love for every person and tribe and race. You know the pain and anguish that many of Your people are experiencing in the aftermath of recent violence in France and Lebanon and elsewhere … we pray
that peace and goodwill might dwell in Tweed and in the hearts of everyone here.” Father Aidan Dasaah, pastor of St. Carthagh’s and St. Edmund’s Catholic Churches, who is originally from Ghana also addressed recent world events. “We confess that recent events and trends in the world have resulted in cold-blooded massacres, terrorism, intimidation, fear, and needless pain and suffering. Peace has eluded us … in faith and humility we look to You to touch every human heart. Calm the ways of terror and open our eyes to Your plan of compassionate care for all.” R e v e r end Stephen Brown of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church helped with organizing the prayer vigil and in his prayers noted “We’re now a global world where every region impacts every other and very often this contributes to great hardship … may the pursuit of peace not itself cause violence.”
In a concluding prayer, Reverend Nancy Beale, a chief organizer of the vigil was unflinching. “We pray for the children, the children who have seen and heard things that no child should ever have to see and hear. We pray for the children who have lost loved ones. We pray for the children and their loss of innocence.” Reverend Giesbrecht remarked afterwards, “I was really happy to see the number of people that came out and the good spirit among the group. I appreciated the prayers that were offered.” R0013568201

By John Campbell Campbellford -- The Youth Advisory Council is partnering once again with the Trent Hills Fire Department and Community Living Campbellford/ Brighton for their annual toy drive. The teenage volunteers will have a float in the Santa Claus Parade this Saturday afternoon in Campbellford and will be collecting donations of toys as they make their way through town. We had a really good response last year, so we’re hoping that we get lots of people coming out again this year for it,” said YAC advisor Patrick
Muldoon. More than 50 families were helped last Christmas as a result of the community’s generosity and the help of businesses such as Stedmans V & S which gives a discount on the price of toys. We usually end up coming and buying a bunch of our toys from Stedmans,” Muldoon said. The firefighters get donations of cash, food and toys all year long at different events, fire prevention officer Paul Dawson said. The need is only growing,” added fellow firefighter Deryk Robertson. “More and more families in these

tough times are going to need the help.” YAC member Beatrice Muldoon said her group is collecting spare change from staff and students at Campbellford District High School “to buy stuff for older kids” in need who are “usually overlooked when it comes to toy drives.” They receive such things as sports equipment, electronics, and hair and makeup products, with the money collected at CDHS; last year it was around $600, which included a donation from the school’s Social Justice League.

Naturalists and others concerned about the proliferation of industrial wind turbines in the south of Prince Edward County fully understand the efforts TrueMan Tuck has made in aiding in the fight against corporate interests that exclude the wishes and needs of the people of Prince Edward County and its natural wildlife. TrueMan intends to continue representing the interests of the Bay of Quinte Citizen-Rulers in a number of different ways. If you want to work with TrueMan to address the issues that he highlighted during the elections, TrueMan urges you to contact him. As well, TrueMan Tuck warned the local voters during the last Provincial election and recent Federal election of the consequences of only voting for Liberal or Conservative candidates. Look at the mess we are in now with a majority Liberal government in Ontario and the same in Ottawa. TrueMan’s Different Viewpoint is that the real problem in these elections is that the failure to reform the Canadian election systems to be a proportionate system gives the one per cent of the global elite the ongoing ability to manipulate our elections by what TrueMan refers to as “Buffaloing” Canadian voters by panicking them to self-destructing. One of the most famous cliffs in North America where Buffalos were panicked and driven over the cliff to their slaughter was in Alberta Canada. Think about what just happened in the federal election. The combination of hatred for Harper, removing the blackout on the eastern results and Harper’s new trade agreement, combined with everything else got the one per cent ruling global elites exactly what they wanted - another either Liberal or Conservative majority government! TrueMan is a passionate and dedicated Christian crusader for Citizen-Rights and strongly believes that all bible based Christians and others who share Trueman’s determination to assert our God-given Judeo-Christian Citizen-Rulers rights of ownership and control over all corporations, whether government, quasigovernment or non-government need to permanently organize. TrueMan states:“God created human beings and we human beings cannot and should not claim to be equal or greater than our Creator. “Human Beings created corporations to serve humanity, not enslave and exploit humanity. Corporations cannot and should act as if they are equal or superior to human beings”!

Centre Hastings meets flood relief challenge By Diane Sherman Madoc - The Centre Hastings Disaster Relief Fund committee credits the community of Centre Hastings for their success in raising $15,000 to qualify for provincial disaster relief funding for victims of the 2014 Moira Lake flood. The volunteer committee (CHDRF) came together when Joe Kaehler stepped up as chairperson, then three more residents, Ron Moffatt, Jan Bruce and Cherie Doyle joined to form the committee last October. Under the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program (ODRAP), a community can receive two thirds of costs for permanent homeowners affected by a disaster, if they raise one third. “Payouts to victims exceeded $45,000 once the ODRAP monies were received,” Kaehler reported. CHDRC worked independently of the municipality, while clerk/planning co-ordinator, Val Przybilla managed the file. Kaehler says the committee does not know the details of applicants. “Our job was to raise enough money to qualify for the provincial program. Val took care of the paper work.” In praise of contributors, Kaehler said, “The caring spirit of Centre Hastings was once again demonstrated in earnest. A big ‘Thank You’ to volunteers and supporters.” Individuals, schools, service clubs, churches and businesses contributed to the project in various
ways, by hosting fundraising drives, donating raffle prizes, buying tickets and calendars or attending a benefit dance and golf tournament. The committee agreed there were too many supporters to list. Jan Bruce summed it up. “We want everyone to know they made it happen, the whole community and beyond.”

OPINION
Terrorism: A Relatively Minor Issue Tolerance of intolerance
Gwynne Dyer
By sheer coincidence, a book I wrote called “Don’t Panic: Islamic State, Terrorism and Today’s Middle East” was published just before the terrorist attacks in Paris. So naturally everybody interviewing me about the book asked me if it is time to panic now. They couldn’t resist it. And of course I replied no,
it is not time to panic. If a train derailed in the Paris Metro, killing 130 people and injuring over 300, the story would dominate the news in France for around 24 hours, 48 hours tops. In other countries it would definitely be only a oneday story: just one more transport accident, in a world where trains collide, planes crash and ships sink from time to time. But if it’s not an accident – if human beings deliberately caused those deaths – then the media feeding frenzy starts. The story is twenty times as big, and it can dominate the news schedules for a week. Most people in Europe, North America and the Middle East have watched at least several hours of coverage of the Paris events and their aftermath – as long as a feature film – and even in more distant parts of the world it has been the event of the week. There is nothing puzzling about this phenomenon. It’s perfectly natural for people to be more interested in murder than in mere mechanical malfunctions. But the sheer volume of the coverage makes a terrorist attack feel like a much bigger event than it actually is. Even if you live a very long way from where the real action is. If you live in Syria, the threat isn’t just terrorism. Islamic State is already a major threat to the many Syrians it hates (Shias, Christians, Druze, and even Sunni Muslims who have worked for the government or fought in the army). If IS gained control of the whole country, the number of Syrian refugees would double or triple. If you live in Iraq, you are much less at risk, for Islamic State has little hope of expanding into the Shia-dominated parts of the country still under Baghdad’s control, or into the areas under Kurdish control. If you live in Turkey or other Arab countries – indeed, in any other Muslim country – you may face a serious threat from homegrown extremists, but all they get from IS is

encouragement and maybe a bit of training. It’s really a domestic problem. If you live in France or the United States or China, your only worry is the occasional terrorist attack that may have been encouraged by Islamic State – but the people who carry it out are mostly locals. You deal with that sort of thing just the way you dealt with other terrorist threats in the past: border controls, enhanced security measures at public events, and good intelligence. If Western air forces want to bomb Islamic State too, by all means do so, but they will be all alone in that job. The Arab states that are allegedly part of President Obama’s “coalition” have all withdrawn their air forces and are bombing Yemen instead. And the Turks are almost exclusively bombing the Kurds (including the Kurds fighting Islamic State), except when they shoot down a Russian plane. The Russian and “coalition” (mostly American) bombs falling on Islamic State have stopped its expansion, at least for the moment, and the recent air attacks on the tanker-trucks that carry the black-market oil out have certainly cut into its income, but it is not about to fall. As for “boots on the ground”, forget it. The only people fighting Islamic State on the ground are the Kurds and what’s left of the Syrian army after four years of war. The Syrian army was on the brink of collapse last summer before the Russian bombing campaign saved it, and it still lacks the strength to recapture much territory. Islamic State is going to be around for a while. Stopping Western air attacks on Islamic State might save some Western cities from terrorist attacks, but even that is not guaranteed. Islamic State is competing with alQaeda for support in the Muslim and especially the Arab world, and spectacular acts of terrorism are good recruiting tools. Islamic State also thinks it is following a divinely ordained script, which makes it relatively impervious to normal calculations of strategic advantage. Does this mean terrorist attacks inspired by Islamic State will continue for months or years no matter what the West does? Probably. Within living memory Western countries have fought real wars that killed millions of their citizens, and they didn’t buckle under the strain. The scale of the threat they face now is so much smaller that it is ridiculous to call it a war at all, and yet they flap about like frightened poultry. If terrorist attacks on the scale of Paris are the greatest threat facing the West, then these are very fortunate countries.

“If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.” John F. Kennedy, 1963. I received a phone call from a gentleman from the Brighton area Monday, suggesting something needs to be perhaps written in these pages about the issue of tolerance toward the very imminent reality of 25,000 Syrian refugees arriving on our shores. Indeed, they will be coming right to our communities – some already here, as in the case of privately sponsored families and others, in many communities in our readership area, soon to arrive under those charity and faith-based private sponsorships. But, the caller on this day said he was appalled – himself an immigrant from Britain – that there appears to be an ugly undercurrent of intolerance, Islamophobia and even outright racism being voiced by otherwise community-minded individuals here in the semi-rural heartland of east central Ontario. “I mean, it’s just terrible, some of the things I have been hearing from people I would have otherwise thought to be accepting of people who are so clearly in need of being welcomed,” said the caller. I told him I doubted such a piece would resonate, that those who agree with calls for tolerance would read such a message and, while already committed to having open hearts and open minds, “it would be preaching to the choir. Those whose minds are set against bringing in these refugees aren’t going to be swayed by a few words in a newspaper editorial or column.” But, afterward, it became clear that is not the correct response. I told him, while he admittedly does not use a computer much and certainly is not part of the Facebook and other social media generations, he would be stunned at the viciousness being spewed in online posts by those who would shut our doors to these refugees. Do you honestly think a family of six or

eight Syrians who have endured several years of drought and horrific warfare meted out against them by their own government would risk death in leaking boats to get to a country where bone-chilling cold is a fact of life for four to six months of the year if they were not desperately in need of an outstretched hand of welcome from a country that was built on such gestures and waves of migrants? So it was that I decided we need to keep the discourse open on the issue of tolerance for refugees. Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness, if you will, but this conversation needs to be held. Is there not some credence to perhaps slowing the logistically impossible goal of 25,000 by December 31? Some very wellinformed and well-placed immigration experts believe so. Is it so we can screen out the bad apples? Make sure there isn’t an ISIS member cowering among the skirts of the civilian women and children? Sadly, far too many of our close-minded citizens think this is the overriding threat, when homegrown terrorism is far more a threat than a lone wolf terrorist slinking in under the wire among a wave of immigrants. Foolhardy to think this is the case? Not if the vetting process is allowed to work in its own due course and if that takes more time, so be it. But, to close our borders and our minds to the plight of these suffering hundreds of thousands of people? Is that who we’ve become as Canadians? Are we to assume the vulgar nature of some of our American neighbours who cheer wildly at the rants of the deranged ravings of some would-be politicians on the far right? I would hope not. For that reason, then, we must continue to speak out against intolerance and work to welcome these newcomers to places like Belleville, Trenton, Brighton, Campbellford, Tweed and anywhere else they may be invited to take refuge. It would be outright un-Canadian to do otherwise.

Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, November 26, 2015
By Bill Freeman Havelock – The campaign to bring a long-term care home to Havelock-Belmont-Methuen remains the township’s top priority but one that’s dogged by frustration and lack of clear answers. “I think it’s time to turn up the heat,” Mayor Ron Gerow said as council approved a “working committee” that will include key players in the effort to locate a 128-bed long-term care home on fully serviced land just south of the village long-ago zoned for that purpose. The municipality, along with the region’s three MPPs, will join representatives from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, the Central East LHIN (Local Health Integration Network), the Peterborough Housing Authority, Peterborough Affordable Housing and private sector firm AON Inc. who has been working with the municipality on the proposal. Newly elected MP and federal cabinet minister Maryam Monsef also wants to be involved, the mayor said. Long-term care is a “major concern” at county council as it is in HBM, says Gerow who notes that Fairhaven, which the county and city jointly operate, “faces a $1 million shortfall from the province” which the county and city will have to make up. Gerow represents county council and is vicechair of the Fairhaven board of directors. “It’s been raised many times through the ministry,” he said. Gerow also challenged Central East LHIN CEO Deborah Hammons on whether there would be any new LTC beds outside of the review the Ministry of Health is currently undertaking. Gerow says Hammonds told county council that was possible but HBM CAO Pat Kemp says
Hammons has said she misspoke and there would be no new beds. “What’s in the report is paramount,” says Gerow. “We need to be on top of this. There could be some bed licenses that will come available soon. If we’re not ready we only have ourselves to blame.” HBM made a formal application to the Ministry of Health in 2011 as part of their master plan on seniors-related health care and housing. To facilitate that plan they’ve zoned 18 acres off Old Norwood Road that could house a long-term care facility along with ancillary development like seniors assisted housing, geared-to-income units and a medical centre. The township has been lobbying steadily ever since. “It’s important that all the players are at the table,” Gerow said of the committee. “AON has offered their expertise even though they know they may not be the successful bidder.” The wait list for LTC beds in Peterborough County-City is nearly 2,500 and “rises by the day.” “There is no one in this community not affected by it.” “We’ve done our homework. We are ready and in need,” Councillor Barry Pomeroy. “We have the oldest aging population in Canada but seem to be getting ignored.” Gerow wants the Minister of Health’s office to be directly involved in the committee. Their ministry contacts have been mostly with Associate Minister Dipika Damenta who has the long-term care file. The municipality will continue to press MPP and provincial cabinet minister Jeff Leal. “He knows how important this is to this community and to the county,” Gerow said.
Marmora & Lake Council covers many issues at Nov. 17 meeting By Margriet Kitchen Marmora – Mayor Terry Clemens advised that past Warden of Hastings County and former Mayor of Wallaston Township, Albert Vader, of Coe Hill has recently died. Those who worked with Mr. Vader expressed that he will be greatly missed. Mayor Clemens issued a warning to the public about a scam taking place in Marmora. People approach homeowners and residents that they need to enter homes to complete inspections as though they are with the water department. Mayor Clemens advises that these are not municipal employees. The municipal water department will have proper identification and municipal vehicles. If approached, residents should contact the O.P.P., or if you have any questions contact the Town Hall. Mayor Clemens went on to announce that Sandra Morton has joined the Municipality of Marmora & Lake as of Nov. 16 and will assume the position of Municipal Treasurer on Jan. 1, 2016. Treasurer Rosemary Pascoe is retiring after 28 years of service. Council has posted on its website, and made
available at the Town Hall, information on the Ontario Energy Board Ontario Electricity Support Program. The program can be accessed at www.ontarioelectricitysupport.ca, or by phone 1-855-831-8151. Low income households that apply and qualify will receive an OESP credit on electricity bills. The program comes into effect on January 1, 2016. The 2016 South and Centre Hastings Waste Services advises that diversion services (recycling) costs are less than half of average disposal costs per household in our service area. They ask what value can be put on extending the life of a landfill? If it isn’t in the recycling, it’s in the garbage. Heart of Hastings Hospice has requested continued financial support for the coming year. In 2014/15, support was given to 148 individuals and their families in their homes, 17 bereaved persons were supported through grief groups, 14 residents and families were supported in the Hospice House residence. The Marmora Agricultural Society will be hosting the 2016 Marmora Fair on Labour Day Weekend, Sept. 2-4, 2016. Council has approved a traffic fundraiser on Sat. July 9, 2016.

It’s like coming home in a lot of ways.

and excited for this opportunity for Marmora. “We have been advocating for a number of years for this change,” said McMaster. “Information at this time is new, and we will be letting parents, students and the community know more as we do. Yes, communication is the key; there will be a community meeting, we will host that.” Lake , too, expressed his excitement at having both schools under one roof. “We are looking forward to having our children in the same space. For our families it will be amazing to have their children in the same space. We are excited to go through the steps with the project. The community deserves this!” When asked about the future of the Earl Prentice school property, McMaster responded, “This will be part of the whole process, it is still too early to comment on. I am excited that people are thinking about Marmora. As to use of school space, the use of space by the community is always encouraged. The school board is mindful of all these things. Currently, we host space for child care before and after school, cubs, scouts, Sno Fest, martial arts, and so on. The board encourages more community partnerships at our schools. If people are curious, they are welcome to contact us for a conversation regarding school use.” It’s not yet known what the full impact will be on staff. “We haven’t had a chance to speak with our teams yet,” said McMaster, “but we feel we are good to go forward. As we know more, we will be sharing. The board is very supportive to employees. Our biggest asset is our people power.” On the subject of ceremonial plans being considered in respect to the history and traditions of the Earl Prentice school, McMaster confirmed, “We absolutely plan on celebrating this place (Earl Prentice School) and these people!

MHPM Project Managers has been given until next March to complete its work. The fire chief said he would like to see construction of the fire hall to at least begin in 2016. “It’s something that’s really needed, and was identified as a major issue in the fire services master plan,” he said. Blake said “there’s lot of excitement” over the project going forward among the volunteer firefighters, who have already been asked for their input as to what they would like to see in the new building. Their enthusiasm is shared by council members. “This is exciting,” Councillor Cathy Redden told council when it came time to hire a project manager Nov. 17. “In my travels all over Ontario, I’ve been taking pictures of fire halls,” she said. “There are so many fantastic designs out there, that not only accommodate the use of the fire department but something that [could look] kind of nice in our downtown core. When we talk revitalization this is a key part of it ... It’s going to be hard to pick what we like.” Mayor Hector Macmillan agreed. “I’ve been saying all along there’s so much more we could be doing [with fire hall redevelopment],” he said. “Let’s not tie our hands. We’re just looking but let’s look hard.” In her report to council, CAO Lynn Phillips said the “initial phase of pre-construction activity is critical to the success of the project” and MHPM Project Managers “have demonstrated experience in delivering large construction projects on time and on budget.” The firm is currently working on a fire hall and emergency medical services facility in Picton and it has completed fire halls in Consecon, Loyalist Township, the cities of Vaughan and Abbotsford, and the towns of Whitchurch-Stouffville and Markham. MHPM “states the result of the initial stage of this project will be a definition of the most durable building possible for the approved budget” that incorporates aesthetic architectural features “appropriate for the downtown setting and that can be delivered on time,” Phillips wrote.

Trent Hills – Council has handed over the reins of overseeing and co-ordinating the conceptual design of a new fire hall in Campbellford to a project management firm in Ottawa. MHPM Project Managers Inc. will handle the procurement of services required for completion of pre-design work on a new station to be built at the corner of River Street and Doxsee Avenue. “They look after the project for us” to make sure that “what’s stated in the agreements is what’s done,” Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake said. The company is being paid $16,250 for its services in the initial phase of a project which currently has a budget of between $4 million and $5 million, although that estimate will be subject to adjustment upon further review. The new fire hall will be approximately 12,000 square feet and contain six double bays, training room, kitchen, locker room and offices. With twice as many double bays it will be “a lot bigger” than the one located on Saskatoon Avenue, Blake said. “We’ve just outgrown that with the vehicle sizes over the years ... It’s pretty tough in there, you’ve got to move a lot of trucks to get some trucks out.” There are also problems with the foundation of the addition that was built onto the original station in the mid-1980s. The Campbellford-Seymour station has 10 vehicles, one more than can fit in the building. The new hall will be able to accommodate the entire fleet inside, as well as have space for the addition of one or more vehicles in the future. The layout will also allow for better organization of various rooms serving different functions, Blake said. The consultant ultimately hired to provide a design will be asked to submit two options, one for a fire hall only and one that has many uses, including council chambers and an emergency operations centre, “to make this building more feasible,” Blake said.

Northumberland – Remembering a loved one during the holiday season is a way for many to hold those who have died in their heart. Community Care Northumberland (CCN) helps by providing a special opportunity to the public to do this by encouraging people to hang an ornament on the “Memory Tree.” Each year CCN invites people to simply write the person’s name on an ornament that is provided and hang it on the Memory Tree. It is a simple ritual of remembrance to express the feelings of love one holds in their heart for those who have died. Recognizing and honouring the person once again is a gentle way to include them in the holiday season. “The Memory Trees are sponsored by the Ian and Stella Tate Memorial Fund,” said Trish Baird, executive director of CCN. “The Tates were longtime hospice palliative care program supporters and believed that these services should be available for residents within Northumberland County.” In this area the Memory Tree will be available at the following locations: Dec. 1, Civic Centre, Hastings from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Dec. 2, Christ Church Anglican, Campbellford from noon to 1 p.m.; Dec. 3, Colborne Public Library from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.; Dec. 4, Brighton Applefest Lodge Retirement Residence from 1 to 6 p.m.; Dec. 5, Brighton Applefest Lodge from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and

Pat Dunn to bring some Elvis Christmas cheer to Tweed
Tweed – Elvis Tribute Artist (ETA) Pat Dunn was the top winner at this year’s Tweed Elvis Festival and will be helping the community celebrate Christmas. Dunn, who won the 2015 Ultimate Elvis Prize as well as the
Fans’ Choice Award has agreed to ride a float in this year’s Santa Claus parade. He will also be performing the evening before the parade at the Marble Arts Centre in Actinolite preceded by a “meet-and-greet” with fans and friends. Lisa Lesage, chair of the Elvis Festival is delighted at the prospect of
a Christmas visit from Dunn. “He is originally from New York City. Pat was employed by Walt Disney – he was actually Prince Charming for Walt Disney and toured the world singing and performing with his partner Cinderella who is now his actual wife, so there’s a little love story there,” says Lesage with a chuckle. “Pat came to Tweed three years ago just to check out our festival. He did OK in our first festival, ended up in the top five. He came back the fol-
Ladies Night in
Marmora
lowing year and he was a fan favourite right from the start.” “A lot of people in Tweed really love to see Pat come because he’s a very personable person. He’s very friendly with the crowd, he loves to interact with the crowd. His dad usually comes with him to Tweed and they have a great time. But he’s very, very professional. He always makes sure he goes to bed early to be ready for the next day and he’s always practicing and warming up his voice.” On his third visit to Tweed, Dunn won the top spot, the Ultimate Elvis Prize. As a result he will be going to Memphis Tennessee next July “representing Tweed as our champion” in the Ultimate Tribute to Elvis Compe-
tition. “He has a very good chance of doing very well in Memphis,” says Lesage, “because last year he got in the top five in Memphis and he’s already known there and they love him down there too … he was extraordinary in Memphis last year. Bonnie [Jussila] and I went down and watched him.” Lesage explains that the event in Memphis is run by Elvis Presley Enterprises and the Tweed festival is sanctioned as a preliminary event by that organization. “There’s quite a hefty fee, $9,000 to send a winner to Memphis.” The Tweed Elvis Festival is one of only two or three such competitions in Canada, Lesage reports. “Pat loves coming to Tweed because of the hospitality.”

Marmora - Twenty vendors in an area covering Marmora, Madoc, Tweed and Shannonville participated in the recent Heart of Hastings Christmas Tour held over the first two weekends of November. Shoppers were invited to take part in having a passport stamped at each vendor’s location, with completed passports eligible for a grand prize draw of gift certificates and merchandise worth almost $1,000. Specialty shops, crafts fairs, antiques, wine shops, and artists all co-ordinated to bring some great browsing and shopping experiences to pre-Christmas shoppers. The highlight of the evening was the draw for the passport winner. Lin Walker made the phone call to Char-

She had decided to do the entire tour in one day, the last Sunday of the event, November 15, and was able to visit all 20 locations. “I want to thank the Heart of Hastings Tour sponsors for a wonderful day I spent travelling to your shops and homes, such gracious, inviting and fabulous people,” said Charleen. The tour will be repeated for the 2016 season, on the first two weekends of November.

Madoc - It was International Games Day this past Saturday. Madoc’s game club was out in full force Nov. 21 sharing both electronic and board games for all to enjoy. The games club meets the first and third Thursdays of the month from 3:30 p.m. until around 7 p.m. when residents can learn and experiment with new and old fashion style games. As part of the American Library Association’s initiative, libraries around the world host a games day once a year in November. Local hosts Jared Budd, Jack Scharz and Nick Empey set up a full display of what the Madoc Game Club has to offer. Of course young enthusiasts went more for the electronic games while older visitors looked over a wide choice of board games from scrabble to mind-boggling strategy games. Upcoming at the library is a special day for children, Dec. 5 from 11 a.m. until noon, when local author Ann Hill reads from her jovial book Picky Pete the Ugly Dragon. It’s a free event children of all ages will enjoy. Those of you with overdue books still out, the library will write off your debt if you bring in a donation for the local food bank before Christmas. Deadline is Dec. 19. For those hoping to get a few books over the holiday, you will have to work around holiday hours. The library will be closed Dec. 24, 25, 26, 31, and New Year’s Day, reopening Jan.2.

There were ‘neigh’ sour faces at Stirling Greenhawk By Terry McNamee
“Our registration was full,” said Davies. “We had people calling, in case there were cancellations.” Some children painted horses to look like real horses they know, while others just went with a colour they liked. Some were quite inventive, creating models with spots and swirls of many colours. Participants also had their names entered in a raffle to win one of two large Breyer models. R0013570100
Stirling- For horse-crazy children (and adults, too), collecting Breyer model horse figurines is a very popular hobby, so when the Greenhawk tack shop in Stirling offered a free Breyer Fun Day, it was an instant hit. The event, held Saturday, Nov. 21, gave kids the chance to paint their very own Breyer model. Registration was free, and included an unpainted Stablemate that each
child could paint right at the store and then take home. Paints and brushes were provided on-site. “This was our second year,” said Dawn Davies, who co-owns the store with her daughter, Courtney. “The kids really enjoy it. They come and have snacks and paint a Stablemate.” Overall, 24 children were signed up for the event. Most were girls, but there were a few boys, too.
Shaelynn Boutilier, age 10-1/2, of Trenton was concentrating hard as she painted a portrait of a real horse that she rides, a mare named Zena. She was among two dozen children taking part in the free Breyer Fun Day at Greenhawk in Stirling on Saturday, Nov. 21. Photo by Terry McNamee
BLACK FRIDAY WEEKEND SPECIALS! 3 DAYS oNLY! FRI. Nov. 27-SuN. Nov. 29 Emerson Bourdon, age 9, of Belleville added the final details to her handpainted Breyer Stablemate model horse during a Breyer Fun Day held on Saturday, Nov. 21, at Greenhawk in Stirling. The event was free, and each child was given an unpainted model to paint however they wanted and take home afterward.

Transportation Pilot Grant Program was recently used to extend the service to Hamilton Township. “The expansion will be completed in 2017,” Baird said. Transportation is a huge issue in many rural communities and the transportation that Community Care provides in Northumberland is serving as a model for other communities wanting to know how it is done, Baird said. It provides three kinds of transportation services: - Volunteer service, in which clients are given rides by volunteer drivers to see a doctor, go shopping, do their banking, or attend social activities, among other things; an estimated 1,455 clients were projected to make use of the service in 2014-15, taking more 31,000 one-way trips. It operates seven days a week, based on the availability of drivers. - Rural service, Look for formerly known as Northumberyour copy of land Transportation Initiative. Similar to a rural bus route, it opin next week’s erates four days paper a week, providing pre-booked transportation to registered residents in Trent Hills, Cramahe Township, Alnwick-Haldimand Township, and as of a month ago, Hamilton Township. Accessible service, previously known as Venture Van and Aging at Home Vans, now referred to as Trent Hills Route and Lakeshore Route. Its clients R0013572355

are people who have a health issue that precludes them from using the other two services. It operates five days a week as well as on weekends to a limited extent. The estimated usage for this service in 2014-15 was 1,100 clients being provided 14,000 one-way trips. The rural service operates during the day Monday, Tuesday, Tuesday and Friday within Trent Hills and beyond to Roseneath and Alderville. The cost is $5 one way. For an additional $5 clients can travel as far as Cobourg and Port Hope and use their transit systems,” which is pretty affordable,” said Jessica Hoskin, CCN’s specialized transportation coordinator. The transfer points are Fenella, Castleton and Centreton. With the support of the Local Health Integration Network, CCN was also able to purchase a van to take clients to the Geriatric Assessment Intervention Network in Campbellford. It was recently announced that Trent Hills will receive $91,211 as its gas tax allocation, raising the 12-year total to almost $798,000. Another initiative CCN has undertaken is a Enhanced Rural Living Program that was developed in partnership with the county’s social services department. Designed to address some of the needs identified in the county’s housing and homelessness plan for 2014-23, it provides subsidies to residents to help them remain healthy and live safely in their homes. The program also makes affordable transportation required for their living and medical needs. Individuals “facing a financial burden that puts them at risk” of improper nutrition, ill health, social isolation or housing instability or homelessness are eligible to apply. So far this year, to the end of September, 234 people had been helped with their transportation needs. Baird said the organization’s specialized transportation and volunteer driver programs will help people get around Hastings when the swing bridge is taken out of service for repairs, beginning in January. One idea put forward is to dedicate a van route for one to two days a week. The municipality will be “looking to you for suggestions,” Mayor Hector Macmillan said.

Proud Canadian folk singer Valdy returns to Tweedsmuir Tavern Awards, seven Juno nominations, four gold albums and is an inductee the Canadian Songwriter’s Hall of Fame. He wrote “Rock And Roll Song” after the 1968 Aldergrove Rock Festival when 35,000 rock-and roll fans yelled, “Play me a rock and roll songs or don’t play me no song at all”. “Cathartically, I have been sharing that moment with audiences ever since,” he said as he launched into the song to applause.

Tweed – Valdy told the Tweedsmuir Tavern audience he altered his name from Paul Valdemar Horsdal because his father didn’t want his name connected with the music business. On Sunday, Nov. 22 Valdy “came into town as a man of renown” and an excited, mostly silvering, audience arrived early. Valdy is a minstrel and his one-man performance is cabaret. He skips. He prances. In his new black and pinksoled runners he dances a soft shoe. Intermittently, he keeps time with Charleston-like knee flapping. He tells jokes and shares anecdotes. He toasts, offers advice and is delightfully funny. He blended new songs with old standards and song after song he enjoyed himself and so too did the audience. Valdy has 13 albums, two Juno

Westben wrapping up its 16th season with ‘Songs of Merry’ on Nov. 28 mus, and as if they are not busy enough, they breed Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers. Moore began his life in Bay-deVerde, Newfoundland, and grew up in Toronto from the age of seven. His quest to become a singer/ songwriter began fresh out of high school, playing clubs in Yorkville in the sixties. After being mentored by rock ‘n roll legend Ronny Hawkins, he soon became a regular performer on the CBC variety series “The Good Company”. “Ronnie was really great to me.
Campbellford – Wrapping up its 16th season with a festive celebration, Westben is presenting “Songs of Merry” with two very famous theatrical performers, the theatre’s own Donna Bennett and its many choruses. “This is a joyful celebration for the whole family,” commented Bennett, Westben’s marketing director. Chick Reid and Frank Moore will narrate favourite seasonal stories while soprano singer Bennett and her husband pianist Brian Finley (artistic director) along with the voices of the combined Westben choruses “will supply plenty of musical spirit”. The performance will feature 75 performers on stage from the Westben Festival, Teen, Youth and B Natural choruses. “I love the cross-generational nature of these concerts ... with performers ranging in ages from seven to 80, we have grandparents performing with their grandchildren,” said Bennett. “I think it’s inspiring for all ages to sing with each other.” The stories will be excerpts from Child’s Christmas in Wales, A Christmas Carol, The Grinch and in the Willows. Reid was interviewed by Independent and said, “I am just so impressed and intrigued with what they’ve built at Westben. This show is a beautiful introduction to the Christmas season ... all stories filled with such joy and spirit, that’s what Christmas is all about. “We need every bit of joy we can get. A lovely balm to injured souls these days,” she added. A graduate of Queen’s University, Reid is entering her 39th year as a Canadian theatre professional. Her Theatre professionals Chick Reid and Frank Moore of Warkworth will be narrating “Songs of Merry”, a festival show that will career includes performing in re- wrap up Westben’s 16th season.

He was really kind and generous. I got to be mentored by a hero of mine,” said Moore with enthusiasm. He talked about his narration role in Songs of Merry. “I’ve never done this before so I am really looking forward to seeing how this comes together. I think the material Brian has set out to narrate is really wonderful but I haven’t heard any of the music yet,” he commented. “I am looking forward to the music being a part of it and seeing how that is going to inform the narration going forward. That to me is an exciting prospect.” Moore lives in Warkworth with his wife Lynne Deragon, an actress too. “Songs of Merry” is 90 minutes in length with no intermission which means on Saturday, Nov. 28, theatre-goers will have time to go to the concert at 1 p.m. and still be able to enjoy the Santa Claus parade in Campbellford at 3 p.m.

Later he volunteered with the Navy League of Canada, becoming the Area Officer for Eastern Ontario. “For the past 33 years, Roger has been a paramedic in the Quinte area and was decorated by the Governor General of Canada with the Exemplary Service Medal,” said Pearce. Litwiller and his wife Rhonda live near Trenton and enjoy travelling and photography. Roger sums up his work this way: “I am a storyteller who can save your life,” said Pearce with a grin.

Campbellford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Beginning with a report on the kick-off of the flu vaccine program for staff to the volunteer program in the emergency department to the senior friendly hospital walkabout plans, the Campbellford Memorial Hospital (BMH) board was updated on all of these and more at their recent regular monthly meeting. Taking a participatory approach to the latter, Jan Raine, nursing officer and Brad Hilker, CEO and president of CMH, took a few more steps to implementing the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senior Friendly Hospital Strategy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a program recommended for all hospitals in our Central East Local Health Integration Network (Central East LHIN),â&#x20AC;? Raine told the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the things we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done yet so Brad and I participated in one,â&#x20AC;? she explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was quite interesting. They had a patient from the Lodge (Multicare Lodge) in a wheelchair and to see things from his perspective was great.â&#x20AC;? As a result an action plan is being put together for CMH. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next step is exploring what needs to be done. Some of the things, of course, require renovation and we require money and will look at where get it and how to do that,â&#x20AC;? said Raine. According to the Seniors Care Network, the vision of the provincial Senior Friendly Hospital Strategy is to improve the experience and outcomes of seniors when they are hospitalized by preventing their physical and mental decline.

Baptist Busy Bees create a buzz with their $25,000 donation to the Campbellford hospital Campbellford – Aptly named the Baptist Busy Bees, the 30-member group of volunteers gathered together recently to make a special presentation that had the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation officials buzzing. The Baptist Busy Bees made a donation of $25,000 to the Foundation, the largest amount of money to date in their history of giving. “All of your hard work absolutely does not go unappreciated. We can’t say enough about your generosity and the hours you guys put in even on days when you’re not open,” commented John Russell, the Foundation’s executive director. An oversized cheque made for the celebration was given to Russell and to Moe Goulet, lab manager at the hospital. “The funds being accepted today will be going towards the purchase of a pretty badly needed piece of equipment, the blood film stainer in our lab,” Russell explained. It’s all happening as part of the Foundation’s Angels of Care campaign this year which has a goal of $125,000. The cheque presentation marked another milestone for the Baptist Busy Bees. “This is their largest ever gift to the hospital but as well this brings their total donation since 2001 to over $100,000,” said Russell. “We’re so pleased to accept this large gift. It will be put to work immediately,” he added.
“Funds raised this year during the Angels of Care campaign will help the Foundation fulfill the hospital’s priorities for the medical equipment needs in the lab.” The list includes the blood film stainer ($23,000), coagulation analyzer ($45,000), chemistry analyzer ($150,000), osmometer ($15,000) and urinalysis analyzer ($10,000). To date, a microscope has been purchased thanks to a donation from The Frederick J Hennessey Foundation. A new urinalysis machine has been funded through a gift from Royal Canadian Legion, District F. “We’re also running our Angels of Care campaign to raise funding for an osmometer,” noted Russell. “I can’t tell you how impressed I am with your generosity,” Goulet told the Baptist Busy Bees. “We have a stainer, and I am often working on it for hours to try to get it going,” he commented. “Thank you each and every one for your great gift.” Thea and Bruce Dunk are co-chairs of the Busy Bees’ sale which takes place from mid-May to Thanksgiving in and outside a building filled with donated items located next to their church. Busy Bees was originally started in 1992 by the late Lillian Beryl Nicholas. Prior to Campbellford Baptist Church moving to its current location, she started a small fundraising bazaar for the purpose of raising funds to help pay the mortgage on the new church home. From that small start Busy Bees has grown and flourished.
Township Update
Since its inception, long before opening day each year, the church phone rings off the wall from people wishing to drop off donations. “We’ve already unloaded two trucks filled with donations for next year,” noted Bruce Dunk.
“We just feel so blessed by the community support of this whole undertaking because without the community donating and all those that come to purchase, all of this would not be possible.” It’s a win-win-win for everyone,

Topic of partnerships focus of presentation by Community Living
By Sue Dickens
the next two years, has made this new partnership possible. The money is to be used in collaboration with Campbellford hospital to create a centralized hub of supports for aging individuals with developmental disabilities that will allow them to continue living independently in rural areas. “We are grateful the hospital is willing to work with us in supporting people to access services that are accessible to everyone,” noted Brown. She also spoke of the support for employment by businesses such as Sharpe’s Food Market, TV Cogeco, Tim Hortons, Eco Kids and Eco Chic Boutique. Employment support is near and dear to her heart. Brown has been with the organization for 29 years and began as a part-time resident staff member and
worked her way up through the ranks to become executive director. “One of the first things I did was employment supports. People with intellectual disabilities have so much more to offer than people realize,” she told the board. Campbellford Living operates Campbellford Office Supplies and More store, an environment that provides business sales and training for people with intellectual disabilities. At the finish of the presentation hospital board member Rosemarie Peikes asked Brown if she had any concerns about sheltered workshops and the wage people there are paid. Peikes referenced CBC’s radio program “The Current” which, earlier this year, dealt with the topic of people with disabilities deserving real jobs and real pay. This was
following an announcement to close a sheltered workshop in Ottawa. “My thought is that there’s a number of organizations out there that are doing really good things,” replied Brown. “But I think we need to move forward and look at things differently. We want to give people different options and choices without that perception of exploitation,” she added. “So we offer Campbellford Office Supplies and More store. For the most part we believe people that work there get a fair wage,” she commented. “We are evaluating how exactly where we are going to move forward so people are respected. It is something we really have to look at as a community not just as organizations. If people are working should they not be entitled to certain benefits?” R0013568217
Campbellford – Celebrating “Inspiring 55 years of Possibilities” Community Living Campbellford/Brighton was front and centre at a recent meeting of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital board. “We support people with intellectual disabilities,” said Nancy Brown, executive director of Community Living. “And we are a lot larger than people realize,” she added. Her PowerPoint presentation was one of many similar talks that the board includes in their regular meetings as education sessions. Brown began by pointing out that sometimes their organization is confused with Community Care Northumberland which offers different services. Community Living has 120
to 130 staff and about 50 of whom are full-time the others are part-time she noted. “We support about 140 people with intellectual disabilities within Northumberland County and beyond,” Brown commented. “We actually slip into Peterborough County quite often and sometimes Trenton. It is based on people’s needs and wants that our supports are provided.” Among other things Brown’s talk also highlighted the importance of developing partnerships, one of which is recent and is with the Campbellford hospital. An announcement earlier this year by Dr. Helena Jaczek, Minister of Community and Social Services, that Community Living Campbellford/Brighton would be receiving $400,000 during

It’s Half-cider and half-beer – introducing Holy Crow By John Campbell Trent Hills – Holy Crow! Church-Key Brewing in Trent Hills and Empire Cider in Brighton have joined forces to do something that’s never been done before. “I do believe it’s the first time that a cidery and a brewery have collaborated on a beverage,” Church-Key owner John Graham declared, and the result is “a half cider, half beer” that’s also a first, he said. The cider ale “very much tastes like a bruised apple, which is quite neat.” The public will soon be able to judge for itself when Holy Crow as it’s called goes on sale at Church-Key at Pethericks Corner and Empire on Old Wooler Road near Codrington. The beverage will also be sold at bars and restaurants that are currently buyers of their products, from Toronto to Kingston for the cidery, and Windsor to Cornwall for the craft brewer. Publicans over the years have blended cider and beer at the tap in equal measure and called it a Snake Bite or Black Velvet, “but to my knowledge we’re the first ones to blend in the kettle, do a full boil and full ferment together,” he said. “That makes it unique.” Graham made a batch of 1,800 litres at his micro-brewery, using juice that was a blend of five apples created by Chris McRae, who owns Empire with his wife Jennifer Jarrel, and his cousin Felix Wittholz and his wife Laura. “It’s an awesome idea at the root of it (Holy Crow),” he said, and its use of actual juice sets it apart from apple-flavoured beers. The collaboration with Church-Key is “huge for us,” McRae said. “It gets our name out there (with a) company (that) has got a lot more reach,” and has been around much longer. Empire arrived on the scene in 2014 when the business produced 10,000 litres of cider from 50,000 pounds of apples, grown at
Dunnett Orchards in Brighton. This year it’s already surpassed 17,000 litres. McRae, who works for the Department of National Defence at 8 Wing in Trenton, planted 300 trees on their five acre property, in order to meet what’s required under the law to have a retail store on site. Part of his vision in launching a cidery “was to help the apple industry,” McRae said. “Brighton used to be one of the capitals of apple country,” but the number of orchards have steadily declined. There “used to be thousands of acres of apples in Brighton,” McRae said. “You may have hundreds now. His focus has always been to buy local as much as possible. “We want to become one of (Dunnett’s)

biggest customers.” Holy Crow “is a one-off but if it’s got legs we’ll do it again,” Graham said. “It was fun to do it together.” At six per cent Holy Crow’s alcoholic content is slightly less than the cider Empire produces but higher than Church-Key’s standard fare. Coming up with Holy Crow involved “experimentation and, like we do with everything, a leap of faith,” Graham said. Even though you’re using good quality ingredients, you’re “not exactly sure what influence” each will have on the other. But a recent sampling persuaded him its taste is “beautiful,” he said. The cider is “the backbone of the beer.”

Policing costs drive HBM budget increase By Bill Freeman Havelock – A major increase in policing costs is driving a potential tax increase in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen. Township council got a “first blush” look at the draft 2016 budget which proposes a 5.04 per cent tax hike with a staggering $245,277 increase in contract OPP policing costs accounting for four per cent of that. The 2016 municipal tax levy requirement is $5,465,659, a jump of $420,039 or 8.32 per cent. Policing costs in HBM went up from $991,000 to over $1.2 million under the OPP’s new funding formula and because the municipality’s per household cost stayed below $40 it did not qualify for a phase-in. There are 101 new households in HBM, which on every other count is a good thing. Policing costs represent 24.5 per cent of the levy increase, Treasurer Carol James said. James used a $28,500 transfer from reserves and an additional $15,000 in Ontario Municipal Partnership Funds (OMPF) to bring the increase down to $201,777 lowering the proposed tax hike to four per cent. “If council wished to fund more of the increase the amount of taxation increase would be decreased,” James said. “I’m not sure if council wants to fund more of the increase. There is just not much more we can do to take that away.” Right now the increase equates to $21.49 per $100,000 of assessment, she said. Council could use more OMPF dollars or reserve funds to mitigate the impact. There’s $138,880 left in HBM’s 2015 provincial OMPF allocation, James said. The final 2016 assessment roll totals won’t be known until the end of this month or early December and those numbers could further reduce the rates. In the draft budget, a property assessed at $250,000 would see municipal taxes increase by $53.73 or 5.04 per cent. Area rates for village ward residents have seen a slight 2.96 per cent ($6.30) rise. Village ward residents pay for sidewalks, streetlights, and curbside garbage collection through area rates which stand at $124,000 for 2016. “This hasn’t changed a lot. The only thing that changed was streetlights a tiny bit,” said James. There’s a proposed $2 increase in flat water rates for both residential and commercial properties with no change proposed for sewer rates other than those on commercial metered accounts which go up $10. User fees will generate $132,288 for the King Street reconstruction project which includes water and sewer work. “We can go away and take a look at this,” Mayor Ron Gerow said. Mayor Gerow said it was “highly important” ratepayers “know where that increase is coming from.” “We don’t want anyone getting a false picture. It is what it is,” he said. “A five per cent increase I don’t think is palatable. All but one per cent of that is policing. We’re going to have to find a way to mitigate that.” “I know we can’t become reliant on OMPF. I don’t want to see council move in the direction where we are utilizing those funds to mitigate costs, especially policing, in the long term.” Council will host one special public meeting on the budget where ratepayers can comment. “We want to do everything that’s humanly possible to get it out there so everybody’s following it,” Gerow said. Copies of the draft budget will be on the HBM website and are available at the municipal office.
There were no championship games. That is how the tournament is structured. The teams pay entry fees which is how the money is raised. “Now that the tournament is over for another year we hope to clear $1,000 which will be donated to a Warkworth charity of choice,” Whalen told said Saturday night. She explained that the couples copied what the Town of Tweed had been doing for 30-plus years.
They have a hockey tournament and baseball tournament to raise money. My husband is from Tweed,” Whalen said. “We recognized a need for additional funds for projects here in town,” she added. The hockey tournament is just one of several fundraising events the WFFC hosts throughout the year. For example, in the past they have hosted the WFFC Golf Tournament at the Warkworth Golf Course. The committee has also organized
Warkworth – Every year some good-natured feuding happens on the ice at the Warkworth arena as teams of players sharpen their skates and their skills for the fun-filled 7th annual Warkworth Family Feud fundraiser. “This tournament is such a funfilled day. It’s great to see families come together to enter a team which allows them to spend the day together and often party together into the night,” said organizer Cherie Whalen. She and her husband Jake and another couple, John and Penny Semlitch, set up a committee to establish the Warkworth Family Feud (WFFC) fundraiser in 2008. All teams who participated played three games, just for Aiden Coull, #14, playing for team Hutchinson faces off against VanHuizen team captain Murray Free fun. at the recent Warkworth Family Feud fundraising hockey tournament.

baseball, bowling, and euchre tournaments. Always geared to families, the fundraisers have been held to give back to the community. In 2010, the WFFC donated $2,000 to the Percy Centennial Public School in support of its music program. As well, the WFFC donated $1,500 to the Let Them Be Kids fund in support of the playgrounds that were being built in the communities of Warkworth, Hastings and Campbell-
ford. “In the past we’ve donated to Percy Minor Hockey and the local fair board and to the arena,” said Whalen. As co-founders of the WFFC, the Whalen family has always participated in the fundraising events. “A big thank you to the Newman, Pearson, VanHuizen, Hutchinson, Greenly and Semi-Whalen families for participating. See you all next year,” Whalen concluded.

Batawa begins blasting snow
Batawa - With the first real dip in the temperature and a couple of snow squalls happening on Sunday afternoon and overnight Monday, the Batawa Ski Hill snow making crew shifted into high
gear. They started making snow with 14 snow-guns around 7 p.m. and ran until 7 a.m Monday morning. Operations Manager, Danny MacDuffie, says “It is plain and simple, cold means snow and

this year we need to take advantage of all cold temperatures.” “We will fire the guns up again as soon as we can get at least 7 or 8 hours of cold temperatures” say MacDuffie. “We have a great system and crew here and we can mobilize pretty quickly.” There will not be enough snow to open, but making snow at every opportunity will
mean that the Hill will have the best conditions possible for opening day. “The goal is to have most, if not all, of the hill open before Christmas so that families will have a great place to play through the holidays,” says General Manager Andrew Rusynyk. “We will make snow when we can and leave it in big mounds known as ‘whales’ so
that it does not melt as much. Once we are close to opening, these mounds will be pushed around the hill to cover the slopes.” Rusynyk noted Dec. 1 is the end of the season pass sale and the usual date that snow making is put into high gear.

COSSA gold brings new era for CHSS basketball
By Diane Sherman
Madoc - Centre Hastings High School basketball appears to have a golden future with their team of junior girls. After 37 years, the black and gold of CHSS has made its way to take gold at COSSA. The young team of five Grade 9 and seven Grade 10 girls took a bronze at the St. Matthews Invitational in Ottawa on Oct. 18, with strong defense and determination. They finished first in Bay of Quinte league pool play with 11 wins and no losses, knocking out Nicholson to go to the finals before losing out to the Centennial Chargers. As second seed in Bay of Quinte league, they went into COSSA AA playoffs at Fenlon Falls Nov. 19 with the Chargers as first seed. For the gold, the Centurions beat Kawartha league first seed Fenlon Falls, 37-36, after an intense game showing strong defense and 3-point baskets. Our girls showed “relentless defense putting continuous pressure on their opponents,” said coaches VandenBosch and Morgan.
The Chargers were eliminated by Kawartha second seed, Lindsay Collegiate, sending Lindsay into the gold medal match against CHSS. The Centurions took the medal with a 28-21 score. Coach Morgan says the majority of this team, 11 of the 12, have come up from Madoc Public School where, as Grade 7 and 8 team players, they won “back to back” district championships in the spring of 2014 and 2015. “Much of this success was due to the commitment of their coaches, Steve McFadden and Rick Scero who started the elementary basketball program early, instilling a love of the game,” says Morgan. Last year Maurice McFadden helped coach the young players with Scero. Steve has moved on to Bayside school leaving a new generation of girls basketball in Centre Hastings. Team members are Casey Bower, Abby Cassidy, Melanie Clarke, Marly Danford, Jayden Forestell, Danielle and Kayla HolmquistWhitney, Brooke Kearns, Lauren Kennedy, Abby McQuigge, Cassie Wickens and Darby Whyte.

OSPCA seizes 85 animals from local home
By Brett Mann
Tweed – One of the largest seizures of animals took place near Tweed and the homeowner was charged with assault in the raid. The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) with the assistance of the Quinte Humane Society seized 85 dogs and cats from a home on Crookston Road Nov. 18. In total 53 dogs, 23 puppies and 10 cats were removed to the Humane Society’s shelter in Belleville. While many of the animals did not appear to be malnourished or mistreated, some did require veterinary attention, said Frank Rockett, Humane Society executive director. “On November 18, 2015 the Quinte Humane Society and the Ontario SPCA Major Case Management Team executed an Ontario SPCA search warrant in the town of Tweed Ontario,” Rockett reported. “Mainly it’s enforcement agents of that team and additional agents if required that work together for the team to handle things that are high volume like this.” The seizure was an unusually large one for the local humane society and Rockett noted provincial police officers were part of the operation. “They were involved in the execution of the warrant, but this is our officers who are dealing with this particular type of matter.” OSPCA officers are those who will be following the case through the court process, “if it goes to that,” said Rockett. Asked how unusual a seizure of this many animals is for the local humane society, Rockett replied, “It’s certainly a large number, the largest we’ve had this year. Total 85 animals, 10 cats, 52 adult dogs and 23 puppies … some of them were recommended to have almost immediate veterinary care, and

we can do that. The others are all in various states of health and we’re taking all the necessary steps to get them in good health. There was a certain level of care that was happening, but it wasn’t adequate for the sheer num-
ber of animals. It’s our responsibility to make sure that animals are cared for properly.” Describing the added burden placed on the society’s resources, Rockett said, “We may have, at a given time,
150 or so animals at the shelter. To receive 85 in one shot, that’s a tremendous number of animals.” He credits the dedication of his staff in the situation. “The level of care they provide and the amount of compassion they
show is outstanding. It’s on a daily basis but it really stands out in a situation like this. If not for the actual work and dedication of my staff we would not be able to cope.” Please “OSPCA” on page B3

Nurses’ Association denounces proposed QHC cuts 27 positions. Stroud accused QHC of inventing “a new magical language to paint a prettier picture of its cuts to registered nurses that threaten the safety of patients needing care.” “Throwing around expressions such as ‘changing the inter-professional care model’ and ‘supporting the senior-friendly hospital strategy’ to announce devastating RN cuts to units at Quinte Health Care sites is just an attempt to fool the community into believing that patient care will not suffer,” HaslamStroud said. “In fact, the loss of a total of 33 full-time and 12 part-time registered nurses is the
loss of almost 100,000 hours of hands-on, RN care per year for our patients – plain and simple.” Haslam-Stroud pointed out the cuts to RNs are occurring across three sites, with RNs cut from Trenton Memorial Hospital’s emergency department, operating room and recovery room; RNs cut from Belleville’s complex continuing care rehab, medicine unit and rehab day hospital, surgical unit, infection control and newly formed women/children unit; and RNs cut from Picton’s endoscopy unit and in-patient unit. “Registered nurses know that the research is clear,” says Haslam-Stroud. “Our patients

Local 8300, for comment were unsusccessful. Unifor is expected to lose 25 unionized member employees if the proposal goes through. The changes are expected to also reduce the number of Ontario Public Service Employees Union members by five and the number of SEIU Healthcare members by 18.

Belleville – The president of one of the unions impacted by proposed cuts to Quinte Health Care is speaking out against the move. Linda Haslam-Stroud, president of the Ontario Nurses Association, had some harsh words for QHC management in a statement released on Friday, Nov. 20; a day after QHC announced a restructuring plan that would result in 84 fewer positions. Of the four unions that have members employed at QHC, the ONA is expected to be the hardest hit, as it stands to lose

Woodlot event draws record crowd
When it comes to wooded areas in the Quinte region, strange things are happening, the annual woodlot conference sponsored by the Quinte Stewardship Council was told Friday. The event, moved to a new location in the Batawa Community Centre after many years in the Knights of Columbus Hall, Trenton, drew a record crowd of more than 240 for a full day of lectures, displays and conducted hikes. Southern Ontario generally is lagging behind other jurisdictions in implementing its own biodiversity strategy plan, mainly from development pressures. But the situation is improving as more landowners and municipal councils come onside for conservation and protection of habitat and ansis (areas of natural or scientific interest.) Mark Stabb, central Ontario program director , Nature Conservancy of Canada, had special praise for the work of stewardship councils, especially the Quinte area one. He also lamented that from what was once a network of such councils across the province, many have folded. Valuable wetlands continue to dis-
OSPCA seizes
Continued from page B1 Rockett noted that there is an ongoing investigation into the case and that he was limited in the information he was free to share. “This is certainly why we’re here, to take care of animals that need care, but we really do rely on the community, the community of Tweed as well, to carry on this function.” An attempt to contact the animals’ owner was unsuccessful. Tex Ritter, senior OSPCA agent, initially attended the home where the animals were seized. Asked if this was in response to a specific complaint, he noted that “almost all of our cases result from informants … we had police officers with us and we executed a warrant. The property owner was there.” He agreed with Rockett’s description of the state of health of the animals. “We had a veterinarian on site and she provided an assessment of all the animals and the environment. This resulted in a Veterinarian’s Certificate of Removal and on her advice we removed the animals.” “It was quite a large seizure, bigger than most,” said Ritter. “This was a little overwhelming for one officer to handle so we called in the team.” In the course of the operation one person was charged with assaulting a peace officer and Ritter said investigations are ongoing. It was reported one of the investigating officers alleged being shoved by the homeowner.
appear under development, but that pace is at least slowing, he reported. Species at risk, especially turtles and amphibians, remain so, but again, some progress is being made. Municipal councils, conservation authorities and landowners are increasingly coming to realize the value of conservation for habitat and variety of species and general health of the land. A minimum of 17 per cent of land area being conserved is now considered the rule of thumb, he said, and some areas have a way to go to reach that. Also threatened are alvar areas and prairie oak habitats. Flying squirrels was one of his passions. He explained there are two types in Ontario, the northern and southern. The northern one is squirrel sized and distinctly reddish in colour. The southern one is chipmunk size and blondish. In recent years, with milder winters, the southern breed’s range is moving northerly. There is also evidence that the two species, distinct for thousands of years, are hybridizing, sharing tree holes for shelter and producing cross-animals of different sizes and colouring. For log-keeping naturalists, he noted that the largest native white pine, Ontario’s official tree, is now near Arnprior, after long-standing record holders, including a fa-

American Idol winner on the way to Havelock
By Bill Freeman
Havelock – American Idol winner Scotty McCreery will bring his rich, southern voice to the 27th annual Havelock Country Jamboree Aug. 1821. McCreery wowed judges and fans in 2011 when he became the youngest male vocalist to win the American Idol title and second youngest overall. It was the show’s 10th anniversary year and it launched McCreery on a fast-rising career that has seen him tour with Brad Paisley and The Band
Perry in 2012 and this year on Rascal Flatt’s Riot Tour. The Band Perry is on the way to Havelock too. The Jamboree made the announcement of McCreery’s Aug. 20 show along with appearances by The Road Hammers, Tebey, The Good Brothers and the Sweetgrass Band who join The Band Perry, Sammy Kershaw, Asleep at the Wheel, Chad Brownlee, Jess Moskaluke, Jaydee Bixby, Runaway Angel and Kansas Stone at the four-day music and camping festival with more names to be released. The laid-back McCreery followed
up his American Idol success with the smash hit debut album “Clear As Day” which was one of the biggest selling albums of 2011, producing two top 20 songs. So far he’s sold over 2.5 million albums and has had three certified platinum singles He grabbed the American Country Music Association’s Best New Artist award in 2012. “McCreery was clearly meant for the stage,” said Angela Smith of The Patriot Ledger of Quincy, Massachusetts

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
What about sexual identity in teen suicides?
R0013491466
Dear Editor, Re: Chris Malette’s column – “An appalling killer of our young people” I am wondering why this column did not mention struggles with sexual identity and coping with social pressures and/or bullying related to that?? Teen suicide in Canada happens on average 500 times a year. The largest percentage of those are related to sexual identity and/or coping with it. And before you claim that this is lumped in with mental health, let me point out that they have removed sexual identification whether it be gay, lesbian or transgendered - from all aspects of the mental health act. Where once it was thought of as illness, it is no longer. If you are going to shout from the roof tops… people wake up, we need to deal with our alarming suicide rate in teens, you need to be shouting about the realities - sexual identity and bullying related to that is one of the major contributors to that concern. I know of three couples in town, who each have a gay/lesbian child. They gush over that one child with me, because they have no concern over being rejected by me because they had a gay or lesbian child. They have not told their friends at church about the one child for fear of being ostracized. They have three children, but only publicly comment on the two. Not talking about something is far
Limo ride caps ‘amazing’ fundraiser By Bill Freeman
worse than talking about the reality of things. Let me ask you, if one of your children came to you tomorrow and stated they were gay/lesbian/transgendered, would you be prepared for that reality? Would your children find you approachable to talk to you about that? Would you have friends you could talk to about that impact on your lives? Or would you hide it from everyone and keep it “within the family” like some sort of disease? I am asking you the hard questions because people don’t think about these things..or talk about them openly. The is a wonderful organization known as PFLAG, in case you ever need to know or need to tell someone of it. It is Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays...PFLAG. They are exactly that.. friends, parents, relatives of those we love that live their lives as gay or lesbian or transgendered individuals. They have chapters all over the world, even locally. (https://www.pflagcanada.ca/ en/index.html). I do hope that we can continue to challenge this trend for all of our children and help to minimize the numbers of these special children lost to this trend. We need to continually stress the issue “that no one dares mention.” Hope this all helps. Will Carmichael Brighton

OPINION
Some lighter fare from the word buffet, this week. Sorry, pardon the punny launch, but we’re talking food today. We all eat it, some more or less than others, especially those among us who are trying to fast, starve and shrink into the holiday season on something as ludicrous as a pre-Christmas diet. Some of us will purge our systems of alcohol for the month of January, also known as Dry January. In the UK, they actually have a fundraiser for cancer research wherein the abstainer swears off the hooch for the month and collects pledge money to do so. The practice brought one British columnist to revulsion, however, and this is how Lucy Hunter-Johnston, of The Independent, sees the practice: “So here we are again in the endless, dismal nightmare of January. We’re all fat, stony broke, and barely on speaking terms with our partners, without even a glimmer of tinsel to keep us cheerful. It’s without doubt the bleakest 31 days of the year, made bleaker still by the smug chorus that invariably greets any offer to get a much-needed round in: ‘Make mine a lime and soda, yeah?’ To which the only suitable response is withering look and a swift brace of shots.” But, I digress. We’re talking about food because, well, it’s my damn column and I like the stuff! Seriously, we all have our favourite foods – be it that gloppy Red Dye #6 infused goo from your local Chinese takeout restaurant
or a nicely marbled steak on the grill. We all, too, have our favourite go-to places for certain foods. Take cheese. I personally prefer Maple Dale for my table and cooking needs as I’m goofy for their aged cheddar, as is my brother in British Columbia who would pay a king’s ransom out there for any cheddar north of five years old. So, when he’s in the area, his bag is usually stuffed with the eight-year-old variety or older and he pays a king’s ransom in baggage fees to lug it back to the Wet Coast. That said, other pals have a thing for Ivanhoe, Empire or Black River. My buddy Rob Cooke’s dad, R.D. had a trucking business that used to pick up cheese rounds at all the local factories (using Rob and his brother Brian as indentured labour) and Cookie can still rhyme off all the little, long-gone cheese factories that used to be found on every third or fourth concession road in these parts. They’re no more, but we ought to consider ourselves blessed that we still have four solid cheese factories from which to get the real goods and we don’t even really realize it until relatives or friends come to visit and they start frothing at the idea of going to a real, honest to goodness cheese factory. When I lived for a time east of Stirling, I used to throw the kids in the car and embark on what we called the Belly Buster Tour for a Saturday morning treat. First stop was Empire Cheese east of Campbellford for some R0013575442
R0013550813
Hey, winter’s coming. Eat up!
Chris Malette curd. Next it was on to World’s Finest Chocolate in town for, what else, chocolate covered anything. Lots of it. From there, we’d wheeze on down to Dooher’s to get the amazing creamfilled doughnuts, breads and cookies for which they’re famous. In the car, ids, because the last stop on the BBT is the Meyersburg Flea Market down Highway 30. Inside is (was??) a deli run by the nicest old Ukrainian fellow who made all of his own sausages and many of the Polish delights I was raised on, such as cabbage rolls and Polish breads. Armed with a half coil of ham kielbasa and some other smoky pork delights (and the kids with a handful each of Polish candies that are handed out by Vlad, the meat meister) we’d head back home knowing it was going to be a delightful week feasting on the yummy treasures of our trek. Everyone, too, has their favourite out of the way restaurants, the greasy spoons we love for their signature dish – be it a plate of liver `n onions or a beautiful bowl of soup and fresh bread or roll on a cold November day. I have a string of them, here in Belleville and the surrounding area, that have come and gone over the years, many still serving up the old favourites. Doesn’t mean they all have to be loveable dumps, mind you. I still appreciate a good steak at Earl & Angelo’s, like nothing more than a decent plate of pasta at Paulo’s or the Parisian delights of Auberge de France or Capers, but the journey to finding these great places to eat is what makes it half the fun. You know, jump in the car and wind your way around – now that the terrorists, er, tourists are largely gone back to The Big Smoke – searching out the mom and pops that make our towns and villages so great. Prince Edward County has been over-the-top hyped to the moon and back as a foodie heaven and you can’t get a reservation at the trendoid hipster haven, The Drake Devonshire, for a month during the fixed price campaign through November.

Any church that has been around for 200 years must have a story. Belleville’s Bridge Street United Church has dozens of them, many of which were included in a pageant type presentation as part of the congregation’s official 200th anniversary celebrations Saturday. Those were was almost a day-long event including an open house and community fair in the morning, musical demonstrations with the organ, hand bell choir and other instruments at noon and a fullblown presentation about the early circuit riders for the Methodist Church which ultimately became today’s United Church. Participants included Janet Kellough whose series of books about the early circuit riders inspired a dramatic presentation written by Veronica Leonard as a series of vignettes based on historical records and diary entries by early Methodists. Suitably costumed actors including clergy and lay members plus special guests took the parts of various characters.

Grand Champion honey is the bee’s knees for Campbellford’s first-time beekeeper By Sue Dickens
Campbellford – Winning is sweet and in this case even more tasty for Garry Parr and his wife Brianne who returned home from the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair with five awards including Grand Champion of all liquid honey. It’s the bee’s knees as far as they are concerned. Not bad for a newbie beekeeper who took a one-day course offered by the University of Guelph in nearby Port Hope and then bought some bees and set the hives up near a couple of hundred wild sunflowers in the heart of his farm near a spring on the property. “I couldn’t believe winning myself. I was just hoping to get maybe any kind of ribbon,” he said. “I knew the quality up at the Royal was amazing but to get the overall champion is phenomenal.” Parr won not only grand champion of all liquid honey (for Ontario and provinces east) but his honey also won champion of the white liquid honey category; the Lorna Robinson Trophy, It’s the bee’s knees as far as Campbellford’s Garry Parr and his wife Brianne are concerned. These first- (highest number of points in the honey time beekeepers brought home the Grand Champion trophy for all liquid honey won along with four section - 5); the Reserve Premier Exother awards at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair: from left, Garry and Brianne Parr and his sister hibitor Award; and the Dominion and Jennifer Parr. he said. Photo submitted Grimm Award for having top score in
an individual class. “There were three judges and they looked at clarity and moisture and they tasted the honey,” Parr explained. “Moisture is critical. If you harvest too early the moisture is high and the honey will crystallize quicker.” Parr spent months researching beekeeping before getting buzzed about his latest endeavour. He and his wife are the same couple that The Independent featured in 2013 when their 17-year-old mare, Big Sky, whose father is famous Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew and mother is Spilled Beans by another Triple Crown favourite Secretariat, had a foal in March which they named Big News. “Her foal is doing great and will start training this spring as a three-year-old filly,” he commented. But that is a story for another day. When Parr decided to purchase about a half dozen hives from a local beekeeper, he had no idea that it would lead to such success. His attention to details and meticulous research last winter gave him the information he needed. “Our Queen is a Canadian Queen that has already been through a winter. The success of the hives depends a
lot on the Queen bee,” he noted. Parr also learned it’s about spending time with the bees. “I only got stung one time this year. Once they get to know you, it’s fine,” he said. “Never go near the hives if you have a bad day and are tense and never go when it is dark,” he added with a grin. “They know and react.” Parr admits he was more nervous about attending Grand Champions Day at the Royal in Toronto. He had borrowed an observation hive from Liz Corbett who owns Twin Sisters Hive & Honey Products in Stirling. “We got real sunflowers from Caroline’s Organics in Campbellford and 25 loaves of baguettes from Dooher’s and we used them with samples of our honey,” he noted. It was a day of talking to other beekeepers and hearing the comment from seasoned professionals such as, “Do you know how long it takes to achieve this?” His mom Janis Parr, who has a tea room for friends, is already selling the winning honey. “I always liked honey,” said Parr with a big grin. “One of the most import things I learned is if you take care of the bees they’ll take care of you.”

The Good Earth: Books as gardening gifts
What sort of gardening books do gardeners want to read? The answer is quite simple, all of them. If you, Gentle Reader, are purchasing for another gardener then there isn’t too much of a challenge. Simply find the one in your library that you most enjoy, either for entertaining reading or for practical knowledge, and purchase another copy for your giftee. It doesn’t have to be the newest book on the market or
the glossiest or the one with the most pictures; in fact, a well-used copy is likely to be appreciated equally well. If your friend is a new gardener and has yet to acquire a library you might give them two gifts. The first would be, in my opinion, the best and most comprehensive gardening book for us Canadians: Practical Guide to Gardening in Canada published by Readers Digest. Except for the new-

est cultivars, there is very little that this weighty tome doesn’t cover. The drawings are clear and easily understood as is the writing, crisp and to the point. The second gift would be a list of the books in your library with a little rating by them. Are they useful? Are they appropriate to our climate? Do the cultural practices and interventions recommended comply with our laws? Did the “entertainment” ones amuse you? As we seasoned hortulans well know, it is surprisingly difficult to pass by a book table at a garden show without taking one of the offerings home. And, as we well-seasoned hortulans know, money spent on books can quickly add up. I just did a quick count of the books I have near my desk, 128, and that would a medium-sized collection for many gardeners. What is very encouraging is that almost one-third of them are Canadian. GR, we have some excellent writers in our country that we should be seeking out and promoting; Art Drysdale, Mark Cullen, Lorraine Johnson, Alison Beck, Donna Dawson, and Doug Green to name a few. Now, after saying that, I believe two of the most important books I have are from an American, a Californian at that, by the name of Thomas Leo Ogren. Sex in the Garden and Allergy-fighting Garden both focus on the correlation between respiratory and allergy troubles and the over-use of “clean” male (pollen producing) cultivars in cityscapes. Tom has developed
a rating system (OPAL) which I use when selecting cultivars for a design. I would like to see the latter book in the working libraries of landscape architects. I have a few go-to reference books that most serious gardeners will also have in their library. Dirr’s of Woody Landscape Plants is the most used. Farrar’s in Canada is the second. You can check the archives of this paper for book reviews. I also have text books that are very difficult to read but they can help me outline a problem and that, in turn, will direct me to the proper expert. I have five books here that I think some readers will enjoy. If you’re interested in the development of one of Canada’s well-known nurseries, Sheridan has published a history of their company to celebrate their 100th anniversary. Ehrenfried Kluckert’s European Garden Design from Classical to Present Day (English translation from original German edition) is a fascinating treatise which traces the history and development of landscape design. When was the last time you read about the Portuguese Baroque period? The photographs are beautiful. Aphid in My Eye, Tom Powell’s story of his and his wife Betty in the orchid business is poignant, witty, elegant and 100 per cent true. Perhaps the most eclectic selection in my library is Hand to Earth, a photographic essay of the landscape sculptor Andy Goldsworthy. His art, created from nature, returns to its
Dan Clost original state through weathering, melting, and decay. This was a gift from daughter Ellyn way back in 2007 and I still find myself picking it up from time to time- in the same manner that I re-visit books about the Group of Seven. <www.abramsbooks.com>. The fifth book is a wee tome entitled Take Time, Reflections for Gentle Reader. It is a selected anthology of The Good Earth gardening columns that presents practical information, observations and even some philosophical musing in easy to read chapters. As the author, I confess I am partial to it and would be pleased to chat with anyone who would like to purchase a copy.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Fear of single male refugees unfounded
Dear editor My husband and I have been involved with refugees and new immigrants for our whole married life. In Guelph Vietnamese refugees lived with us for two months, this was followed by a Salvadorian refugee who stayed with us for six weeks. Then came the Kosovo refugees and involvement with the Interfaith Refugee Sponsorship Committee who sponsored and helped families from Ethiopia, DR Congo and Colombia. We recently returned from visiting family in Belgium and had the opportunity to enter a military compound in Sijsele close to Bruges. More than 450 Muslim refugees are housed there. Among the 20 who spoke English and wanted to talk to us there was a young couple expecting their first baby. The rest were men.
All were well educated but 90 per cent were fathers with 1 to 4 children who left the refugee camp and their wife and children behind as after 3 to 4 years in a refugee camp they felt they had to do something than just wait. These men, well educated, took a chance by leaving the camp and their UNHCR number. This is to say that most of the fear of ’single’ men is mostly unfounded. We do believe that families with children are a priority and young children entering the school system are more adaptable and have proven over the years to make good Canadian citizens. The group we talked to is part of a peace project, have a band, and do volunteer work. We look forward to help where help is needed.

A year of accomplishments for Quinte Conservation By Jack Evans It’s been a busy year for the region’s natural resources conservation body. Terry Murphy, general manager of Quinte Conservation, reviewed a year of signicant accomplishments as the authority board met for the last time this year Thursday. The list included completion of capital projects, successful power generat-
ing revenues and public education. Capital expenditures included new aluminum floats for the ice control dams at Belleville to replace original cedar logs which are becoming soggy and unworkable, completion of an accessible trail at the Quinte Conservation area’s Potter Creek property on Highway 2, additional funding for the agency’s work for Bay of Quinte Remedial Action program and com-
pletion of a special marsh remediation project on Big Island. The meeting also heard a presentation from Amy Dickens on GIS (geographic information systems) which harness computer program apps to allow not only placement of any specific area, but its geophysical features such as height, water courses etc. Application of such apps on maps is becoming an international

toques day” so everybody is being asked to wear toques and collect loose change “in the spirit of what’s coming”. Tuesday, Dec. 1, the Justice League will be hosting a “Comfort in the Café” event. Each League member will be making homemade mac and cheese and selling bowls of the delicious meal. The money raised will go to The Salvation Army’s kettle drive which is now underway. “Rebekah Leach, this year’s Salvation Army kettle campaign coordinator was saying that our event last year raised almost half the money brought in from
their total kettle campaign,” said Woods. On Wednesday, Dec. 2, there will be a challenge called “Stack the Mac” and students are being asked to bring in nonperishable food items and gently-used clothing. “Whoever brings in the most wins prizes,” said Woods. This year the Cold Hands Warm Hearts event will take place on Thursday, Dec. 3 from 3:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. in the parkette on the corner of Bridge Street East and Front Street in Campbellford. Students will be there accepting donations.

As sAntA’s newest helper, I wAnt to gIve you $500 cAsh rebAte to spend however you lIke… Dear Homeowner, It’s true! I’ve just received word from the North Pole that I’ve offcially been named one of Santa’s Helpers. With this special assignment comes the power for me to do something very special for you…. From now until December 31st, I am going to give you an immediate $500 cash rebate* on any new furnace you buy from me. This is cash you can use to pay for holiday gifts, travel, -- whatever you like. Think about this. If your gas furnace is 12 years old or older – even if it’s still running—you’re probably heating and cooling your home on borrowed time and paying more for utilities than you need to.
