Medical marijuana advocate agrees with government’s decision By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Medical marijuana user Al Graham agrees with the Ontario government’s decision to allow patients to smoke and vaporize anywhere. However since the Liberal government’s announcement made earlier this month, Associate Health Minister Dipika Damerla has said she will re-examine the move because of concerns voiced about the new regulation. As far as Graham is concerned, the original decision is a good one. The legislation also permits business owners and employers to say no to its use on their premises. “Right off the bat when I heard this the first thing I thought of is, as a medical patient, it is something I have been doing quite often and it was sort of nice to see the government backing what I have already been doing,” he said. A cannabis advocate who has been Medical marijuana user Al Graham, of Campbellford, has been coping with Crohn’s Disease for more dealing with Crohn’s Disease for more than a decade. He said he is glad to see the government support something he has been doing for than a decade, he uses medical marijuana to help him cope with his health years, administering his medication in public.

issues on a daily basis. He is also the voice of P.A.C.E. – People Advocating Cannabis Education, a group whose mantra is “educate, medicate, do not incarcerate”. He is well known here and in larger centres because he has taken his message to the public at venues such as DocFest, held last February in Belleville. He is very familiar with reaching out to people. He manned a booth at the National Women’s show in Toronto a few years ago and showcased P.A.C.E. at the National Home Show. Graham made it clear he realizes that although he uses medical marijuana there are many people who don’t agree with this use. “As a medical consumer I always use discretion,” he commented. “I am not going to light up in a restaurant and quite often follow the smoking bylaw (as a guideline),” he explained. Graham noted, “Back in 2004, the RCMP had said to cannabis users there is no legislation against us using it in public but they asked that we
follow the guidelines of the smoking bylaws.” He believes the recent announcement “for me is not making a lot of difference,” but in terms of bringing the message to the public, it’s another step forward. “What this does is it informs the public. This is a way to educate and it supports what I’ve been doing for the last dozen years,” he said. Graham also asked a question of his own, “Can you really restrict a patient from taking medication in public, whether it’s a pill or anything else?” The Liberal government also recently exempted those people vapourizing from a law that bans the use of ecigarettes anywhere regular cigarettes are prohibited. Response to the government announcements has led them to reconsider their decisions. Graham pointed out that CBC News Toronto reported: “Damerla said the exemptions were drafted with the advice of legal counsel but wouldn’t say what considerations were made about Please see “Medical” on page 6

Rudd named parliamentary secretary to minister of natural resources By John Campbell

Northumberland-Peterborough South – MP Kim Rudd has been named parliamentary secretary to Minister of Natural Resources Jim Carr. In a news release announcing her appointment last week, Rudd said she was honoured that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had “placed his trust” in her, saying she would support Carr and the ministry “to the best of [her] abilities. The Ministry of Natural
Resources is responsible for many key policy files of great importance to Canadians, and I look forward to doing all that I can to be of service.” Rudd was one of 35 MPs given “new and expanded responsibilities” as parliamentary secretaries by Trudeau, who described them as “highly motivated individuals, who come from a variety of backgrounds and communities [and] bring a wealth of talent and experience to the table that will complement existing Cabinet strengths.”

Natural Resources includes energy, mining and minerals, forests, earth sciences, hazards, explosives and the North. Rudd said in an interview from Ottawa Monday that in order for any ministry “to move forward” it needs to build consensus and “try to find that common ground,” which she is eminently capable of doing, given her background in business and experience in chairing numerous federal, provincial and local committees. “That’s really a strength that I bring to this portfolio,” she said. Moreover, she is familiar with the operations of Cameco’s uranium conversion facility in Port Hope, one of only four in the western world, and the two low-level radioactive waste cleanups in the riding, all of which she has toured and been briefed on in recent months. “So I feel I’m coming with at least a basis of understanding that I can build on,” she said. That’s crucial because her department is responsible for Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, a Crown corporation, and two independent regulators, the National Energy Board and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. In her role as parliamentary secretary the first-time MP will speak for Carr during Question Period in the House of Commons when he is absent, as well as at meetings and symposiums. As she and the minister “get to know each other,” he will inform her
of what her other duties are. “He works a lot like I do in terms of consensus building, so I certainly feel as he does that we will make an excellent team,” Rudd said. Her new job, which pays $16,600 on top of her base salary of $167,400 as MP, will involve some travelling. Whether it’s mining in Newfoundland-Labrador, forestry in B.C., the oil and gas sector in the West, or the Ring of Fire in Ontario, “there will be duties as assigned as all of those things” come to the forefront, Rudd said. She’s been doing a lot of late-night reading, plowing through binders six-inches thick, to acquaint herself with what the ministry does and the issues it’s dealing with. “Natural resources are something that as Canadians we all hold dear and we want to make sure they are managed in an environmentally and respectful way,” Rudd said. That means working with the provinces, indigenous communities and others to ensure “we’re involving everyone and we’re making the best decisions.” She said “it’s very important for people to know that we have a public service sector that is working diligently on these files [and has been] so accommodating” to her, Carr and their staffs. The civil servants are helping them “understand all of the nuances, all of the minutiae of the department, and that’s something that is just so extremely helpful.”

Source water protection is simply protecting surface water such as lakes, rivers, streams and groundwater from contamination or overuse. Water is critical to all aspects of our lives. Protecting our water is important to ensure that there is enough safe water for all our uses - now and in the future. Source water protection is the first step in a multiple barrier approach to protecting drinking water. Other barriers include water testing and monitoring, reliable water treatment and distribution systems and training of water managers and staff. Safe, clean and plentiful drinking water supplies are among the most important natural resources for the health of Ontarians. As a result of Ontario’s exploding population growth and a growing demand for limited resources, communities today face increasingly significant threats to our water and land resources. Remember what you do on your property does make a difference. Protecting drinking water is everyone’s responsibility! To find out more visit www.ltc.on.ca

OPINION
Obama and San Bernardino
On Sunday, President Barack Obama spoke about a mass shooting in the United States for the 17h time in the past seven years. (There have actually been 335 mass shootings in the United States already this year, but he only does the big ones.) But this time Obama spoke the Oval Office. Gwynne Dyer from He’s only done that twice before, about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the end of combat operations in Iraq, both in 2010. The shooting in California killed 14 people and wounded 21, so it wasn’t even the biggest mass killing of his administration, but it got special treatment because it was a terrorist attack. He needed to do that because you just have to say the word “terrorist” to send many Americans into a flat panic, and many American politicians into spasms of oratory overkill. A representative example was New Jersey Governor and would-be Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie, who said: “We need to come to grips with the idea that we are in the midst of the next world war.” The next world war? The last world war killed at least 40 million people. The next one – the Third World War that we were waiting for when I was growing up – would have killed hundreds of millions, even if it didn’t cause a nuclear winter and kill billions. With due respect to the victims, the 16 dead in San Bernardino do not add up to a new world war. Neither do the 130 French (and a few foreigners) killed with guns and suicide bombs in Paris last month, nor the 224 Russians on the plane brought down over Egypt by a bomb at the end of October. Even in Europe, Islamist terrorism kills at the most hundreds per year; in America, it kills almost nobody. Before this week, only 16 Americans had been killed on home soil by Islamist terrorists in the past 14 years (13 soldiers killed by US Army psychiatrist Nidal Malik Hasan at Fort Hood, Texas in 2009, and three killed at the Boston Marathon in 2013). That’s an average (includ-
ing the San Bernardino deaths) of two people per year killed in the United States by Muslim terrorists. So why didn’t Barack Obama finish his speech by pointing out that Americans are 170 times more likely to drown in the bath than to be killed by Islamist terrorists? Because no public figure in the United States is allowed to say that the terrorist threat is very small in the West generally, and utterly minuscule if you actually live in the United States. On the one hand, we have a trillion-dollar “war on terror” defended by a US military and security establishment that has grown fat on the proceeds. On the other hand, we have a very small terrorist threat to the “homeland” against which, for the most part, that establishment’s efforts are irrelevant because the attackers are homegrown, self-radicalized lone wolves. None of the three “Islamist” attacks over the past 14 years was planned from abroad. All were carried out by US citizens or permanent residents. None of those people, so far as is known, was even in contact with organizations like alQaeda or Islamic State (although Tashfeen Malik pledged her allegiance to the latter on her Facebook page on her way to the massacre at the Inland Regional Centre in San Bernardino). The Islamist extremists pose an existential threat to Syria and Iraq. They are a serious threat to the other Arab countries, and a rather more distant problem for other Muslim countries. For Western, Asian and African countries that do not have large Muslim populations, they are merely a strategic nuisance. If any of those outside powers want to fight the Islamists on home ground (like the NATO countries and Russia, who are all now bombing Islamic State targets in Syria), then by all means do so. You might save the Syrians from a very unpleasant fate. But don’t imagine that this is necessary for your own defence. Conversely, don’t worry that the bombing will cause terrorist attacks on you at home. Those attacks will happen no matter what the United States (to pick an example at random) is doing or not doing abroad. And a country that can blithely ignore 63 shooting attacks in its schools since the beginning of this year can manage to live with a small Islamist attack every few years too.

Refugee sponsorship movement gaining steam Editorial - By Chris Malette Pardon us if we visit here in the editorial space a theme which to some may be a recurring annoyance, but to most others is a topic that cannot get enough discourse in the weeks and months ahead. We’re speaking, again here, about the issue of inviting and settling refugees in the region. The topic is once again in headlines in these pages and the movement of church groups - Christian church groups - garnering support from congregations and communities to raise money and to provide accommodations for sponsorships of families is growing each week. As we outlined in a story this week, there are no fewer than seven – seven! – church and interfaith groups working to bring Syrian refugee families to the area. It seems the images of the sprawling refugee camps in countries surrounding Syria, the images of desperate families overloading boats to reach the shores of Greece and the grim but steady march of refugees across Europe are finally striking a sonorous note among Canadians. But, while many, unfortunately, will align with the message of hate and intolerance spawned by acts of domestic terrorism - influenced by radical Muslim extremists in the region from which the refugees flee, thousands more of us understand this is precisely what the likes of ISIS wants the West to feel. It is specifically painting the vengeful attacks as something we should fear and to turn our backs on those fleeing the war ravaged country of Syria in an effort to fan the flames of a global religious war of the West versus the Muslim world. Fortunately, most rational and compassionate among us aren’t buying it. One man who knows of what he speaks last week told the Toronto Star we should actually be doing more to open our doors to more refugees, not fewer. According to the Star, Ron Atkey believes the 25,000 Syrians Ottawa is promising to re-settle initially is a “noble objective” but he wants Canada to up the ante. “If Canada can do another 25,000 — that would make a significant contribution in line with Canada’s contribution with the Vietnamese boat people in 1979 to 1980. It will

demonstrate to the Americans that they have to do more. We’ll shame them into it, similarly the Australians,” says Atkey, who was immigration minister in the Joe Clark government in 1979 when 50,000 Vietnamese refugees were granted asylum in Canada. By the end of 1980, that number had risen to 60,000. “For us to take a dramatic position on the world stage is important. We won a medal from the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights. We gained a lot of prestige as a humanitarian country. I think that’s consistent with Canadian tradition.” Atkey, who is also a lawyer, professor and national security expert, is chair of Humanity Wins, a group of prominent Canadians who came together earlier this year to advocate for re-settlement of Syrian refugees to Canada. Like many, he has been appalled by what has been described as the worst humanitarian crisis since the Second World War — with more than 4 million Syrians fleeing violence in their homeland and seeking refuge in Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey. Another 7 million Syrians have been displaced internally. Today, in places like Tweed, Trenton, Belleville, Brighton and other towns and villages throughout the region, there are plans to bring hundreds of refugees, in families, to the region and to help them settle. It’s that kind of grassroots charity that most reflects our Canadian values - not the isolationist hate speech we’re hearing from American politicians and wold-be politicians (Hello Donald Trump!). Our cultural mosaic can only be enriched by the welcoming of Syrian refugees into our communities. We are a nation built on waves of migrations of people fleeing countries of conflict and poverty for our land of promise and a society that rewards those with initiative and a willingness to establish as hard-working, community-minded people, in turn. Think the Irish, the Greeks, the Vietnamese, the Poles and Hungarians, Ukranians and others. Now think Syrians and open our hearts and our doors. It’s time.

Syrian refugees destined for Tweed – plenty of work to do By CL Marriott Tweed – “It’s time to pound the pavement and do the research,” was the rallying cry of convener Rev. Steve Brown at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on December 2. The Tweed Refugee Sponsorship Committee (TRSC) took up the challenge and created eight working sub-committees and the call went out for volunteers to jump on board and get to work. “Even before a pledge sheet had been designed, $6000 has been collected,” said Penny Vance, acting Treasurer. Dave Morton of St. John’s United Church is mailing out charitable receipts as the donations come in. “It is official,” Vance said, “We need to set up a bank account.” Three days after the meeting, the group had raised an additional $2,000. Lynda Van Will reports TRSC “will need $20,000 for our six months of financial support for a family of four. The federal government will give us ap-
proximately that much for the first six months.” The fundraising committee, comprised of Waveney Job, Jane Foster and Vicki McCulloch, designed a pledge sheet and donation card. Donations can be taken to the Tweed municipal office. Job, who organized the committees, said, “I am going to emphasize we need many, many volunteers. Volunteers, over time, get tired. We need a really big cache of volunteers.” Volunteers and experts are encouraged “to email” refugeestotweeds2@gmail.com with “attention to” the committee they can assist. The following volunteered to head the committees temporarily; Nancy Davis - Housing/Household Items/Clothing; Marian Dolan - Volunteer Co-ordinator; Barbara Goode -Communications; Rasa Baltutis - Education; Vance - Finances; Van Will Welcoming and Orientation Committee and Job - Employment. The Health Committee invites Gateway Health Centre
members. Job, Gary McLean and Baltutis joined 100 people for a day-long Refugee Sponsorship Training Program in Kingston on November 14. McLean said it was intense and overwhelming and highlighted the words of a recent Syrian immigrant. “He felt at peace being in Canada and his children felt joy to play outside.” The workshop raised questions. Do we have enough volunteers and money? How do we deal with language and education barriers, employment training, access to urban services, councillors and psychiatrists? The closest mosque is in Belleville - is Tweed transportation appropriate? Are the refugee and sponsoring group expectations unrealistic? Do families that settle in rural areas soon “fly the nest” for city opportunities? DeGenova said, “Rural placement is difficult. Sometimes you are a prisoner within your community.” Tweed committee members who spoke with John Robertson

Trent Hills given green light for upgrades to water treatment system By John Campbell Trent Hills – The municipality can now proceed with plans to repair Campbellford’s water tower and upgrade the town’s water treatment plant. Trent Hills got the go-ahead after Minister of Environment and Climate Change Glen Murray sent word no more work was needed on an environmental assessment of the project, which includes installation of a clear well and a high lift pumping station at the Saskatoon Avenue plant. The federal and provincial governments are contributing $3.4 million toward the project, with the municipality responsible for the other third.
The project had been on hold as a result of issues brought to the ministry’s attention last April by local resident Alan Appleby who had requested a Part II Order under the Environmental Assessment Act. Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan asked general manager of infrastructure renewal and public works administration Scott White last week how much the delay has cost taxpayers. “I’m going to say at least $20,000,” White answered, citing additional work that had to be done by the consultant in response to Appleby’s concerns. Construction costs have also escalated in the meantime, which a request
for proposal “will soon tell the tale,” asserted Mayor Hector Macmillan. “I wish we could go back and recoup our costs from the proponent of the Part II.” He said taxpayers had been “held hostage” by the actions of one person. “I didn’t hold anybody hostage,” Appleby responded in an interview. The length of time it took the minister to issue a reply addressing each of his concerns “proves that these were substantive points,” he said. “They wouldn’t have needed to do that if the points I had raised hadn’t been real issues. I believed they were real issues.” Appleby had argued that the economic and social costs of the project were too high and that rehabilitating
or replacing the current standpipe offered a lower-cost solution to water quality and quantity issues that the consultant had identified. Murray in his letter said “it would not address current reliability, redundancy, and operational constraints” at the water treatment plant whereas the preferred alternative would, and “arguably be considered ‘better value’ at an estimated cost of $4.3 million.” White in a report to council Dec. 1 said the “total cost of the project has been estimated at $5.3 million.” Appleby said he’s “dubious about any number anybody around here uses for a capital project because there’s very little that gets built around here that doesn’t go over budget by a sig-
nificant amount of money.” He had also questioned how safe it would be to have new infrastructure installed near a sanitary sewer but Murray said due consideration will be given to the sewer main’s location in preparing a detailed design, “to ensure excavations are planned accordingly, and minimum separation distances are met as required.” White said in his report that not proceeding with the project will result “in the eventual failure of the off-site water storage reservoir” if it isn’t relined. The existing high lift pumping and disinfection system could also fail if the piping stopped working “and a major leak occurred.”
Hastings Foodbank makes plans for bridge closure By Bill Freeman Hastings – With one-third of its clients living south of the Trent River, the Hastings-Roseneath Foodbank is making plans to deal with the four-month closure of the Lock 18 swing bridge. The closure, which starts Jan. 4, will prevent vehicles from crossing the bridge with only pedestrians able to navigate directly from one side to the other.
“It’s a lot better than we thought it was for us. I don’t know what clients will feel but we are trying to make this easy for them for the duration,” food bank Chair Brenda Kock said. In 2011, a Parks Canada proposal to repair rather than replace the bridge would have shut the bridge down after the boating season ended in October. By replacing the bridge Parks Canada has shortened the closure period.
The Hastings Foodbank is located north of the bridge in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church operating Tuesdays and Wednesdays (it’s closed the last week of the month) so the shutdown poses a substantial hurdle for organizers. On average the 25-year-old organization serves 43 families a month representing 76 adults and 20 children. Kock says they’ll be able to use St. George’s Anglican Church on the south side the

Kock says they will talk to clients affected by the bridge closure when they pick up their Christmas hampers or by phone. The organization will work closely with the Hastings
Helpers, she added. The accessible pedestrian crossing will direct users around the construction zone to the parking area behind the Bridgewater Café.

Stirling - The Stirling-Rawdon Fire Department now can access emergency calls in difficult terrain, thanks to the donation of a new Arctic Cat allterrain vehicle (ATV) to the department by Belleville Sport and Lawn Centre. “Owner Brian Hadley and his sister Karen Shaw did all the work with Arctic Cat to have it donated to us,” said Fire Chief Derrick Little. “Each year, they will replace it with a new one. “We never had one before. It will be very useful for us and save us a lot of walking.” He said staff at the company also did all the work to create a “fully loaded” emergency ATV, including extra lights, headed hand grips and other special features. The vehicle will be shared with Stirling’s police services. The Chief said it will be used for grass fires, accidents and rescues on
second Tuesday and Wednesday of the month taking boxes of pre-filled food to that site. “We will be in communication with our clients living on the south side as to what they have in mind. Maybe they would like to walk across the bridge to St. Andrew’s on the other two weeks of the month or maybe they will ask us to put a box together for them,” she said. “We’re trying to be as flexible as possible.” Kock says they’re feeling more comfortable about what they will be able to do for clients during the closure. “Because we’ll only be open twice (a month) north of the bridge we won’t need extra volunteers,” she said. “It will involve one run around the detour with a truck full of boxes.” Boxes to be distributed on the second Wednesday will stay overnight at St. George’s which is allowing the food bank to use its freezer and refrigerator. “We’ve got very good volunteers (and) quite a few of them live south of the bridge and are prepared to walk across to do a shift at St. Andrew’s.”

Stirling 55 and Over Club donates to local fire department By Terry McNamee Stirling - When the concept of “pay it forward” is used, a person or group repays a good deed by doing one for someone else. It’s a concept that resulted in the Stirling-Rawdon Fire Department receiving an early Christmas gift from the Stirling 55 and Over Club on Dec. 3. “We have about 65 members, and every Wednesday at one o’clock at the Legion, we play euchre,” said club
representative Ruth Walton. “But once a month (on a Saturday), we play bid euchre at the Springbrook Hall, and they don’t charge us, so we donate the equivalent of 12 rents.” The result was the donation of a cheque for $250 to the fire department. Fire Chief Derrick Little was delighted by the donation. “The money will go towards our new air trailer,” he said. The trailer, which is a portable air station, is used to re-
fill the air packs worn by firefighters when entering a smoke-filled building. The station also provides warmth for firefighters at the scene of a winter fire and is a cooling station in the warmer months. Stirling-Rawdon Fire Chief Derrick Little accepts a cheque from Ruth Walton and Eleanor Scott (right), who made the presentation on Thursday, Dec. 3, on behalf of the Stirling 55 and Over Club.

By Bill Freeman Norwood – Grade 2 and 3 students at St. Paul Catholic Elementary School in Norwood have teamed up with members of the local horticultural society in a shoreline planting initiative that is one of 36 stewardship projects undertaken by Otonabee Conservation and its partners throughout the watershed region. The 40 elementary students planted at least 170 native shrubs and wildflowers near the Norwood Millpond beach during late fall. The wildflower species included Joe-Pye Weed, Common Milkweed, Swamp Milkweed and Prairie Rose. The planting project “enhanced the original planting” that took place five years ago, says Meredith Carter, manager of environmental and technical services for Otonabee Conservation. “Planting a variety of native flowering species with different bloom

times will provide monarchs and other pollinator species with the food they need to reproduce in the spring and summer and to migrate in the fall,” Carter said. The Norwood and District Horticultural Society was excited to be part of the project. “We were very pleased to support Otonabee Conservation and participate in this important habitat initiative,” said horticultural society member Kathy Reid. “The Norwood Millpond and beach is an important natural area within our community.” Reid says the involvement of local students and the support of the township “further demonstrates community support.” Funding to support the naturalization of the Norwood beach was provided by the horticultural society. As part of the National Conservation Plan, the project also received financial support from the federal government.

Food bank numbers holding steady, and so is support from the community By John Campbell Campbellford – While demand for its services remains strong, so has the support the Campbellford and Warkworth Fare Share Food Bank receives from the community to keep its shelves stocked. It’s a familiar story for the food bank and was repeated again at its annual meeting held last week at the Campbellford Legion. Figures compiled by secretary Thea Dunk showed 245 client
families were helped between Nov. 1, 2014 and Oct. 31, 2015. That’s “comparable” to what the numbers were for the two previous years, said VicePresident Gary Raine, which makes it “good news” because it means the local situation isn’t getting worse. The 245 includes single and two-parent families, couples with no children and single people A further breakdown of the numbers provided later by treasurer Bruce Dunk, a total of
599 people, including 181 children, accessed the food bank, averaging about five visits over 12 months. He had good news of his own to deliver with his treasurer’s report, as revenues of about $34,800 were higher than expected while expenses came in less than forecast, at $25,155, leaving “a really nice surplus” of more than $9,600, he said. “That’s a really good thing,” Dunk acknowledged but it’s also “the first time in three years that we’ve had a surplus.”
Tweed Terrific Kids awards
The food bank finished “in the hole” the other years, he said. “We’re looking good right now,” President Lillian Adams said, but she cautioned the cost of hydro and the prices of food are “going up.” She thanked the community for their donations and the 20 volunteers who keep Fare Share going. “The people here are very very generous and we certainly appreciate it,” Adams said. “It’s just overwhelming how generous they are. We’re very, very fortunate.” Thea Dunk said she had sent out more than 100 cards thanking individuals, schools, churches, businesses and services for the help they have provided. “We have benefited greatly from all the different groups that have taken part in fundraising.” Brenda Morrison spoke of a growing trend among young people who ask their friends and relatives to donate to the food bank rather than buy toys for their birthdays. “It’s something that’s starting to happen and we are very thankful for it,” she said. “It’s great. The kids are learning.”
Campbellford and Warkworth Fare Share Food Bank President Lillian Adams presented outgoing board member Gary Raine a certificate of appreciation for his years of service at the food bank’s annual meeting Dec. 2. Adams remains as president; also on the board are Past President Bonnie Russell, First Vice-President Roger Brummell, Second Vice-President Bette Harpur, Treasurer Bruce Dunk, Secretary Thea Dunk, food co-ordinator Connie Quinn and directors Diana Ballard, Brenda Morrison, Joe PIrri and Deanna Russell.

Policing costs wallop Havelock-Belmont-Methuen By Bill Freeman Havelock – A major increase in policing costs is driving a potential tax increase in Havelock-BelmontMethuen. Township Council once again looked at its 2016 draft budget which proposes a 5.7 per cent tax hike with a staggering $245,277 increase in contract OPP policing costs accounting for almost four per cent of that. The 2016 municipal tax levy requirement is $5,499,919 a jump of $453,299 or nine per cent. Policing costs in HBM jumped from $995,811 in 2015 to $1,241,088 under the OPP’s new funding formula. Policing costs alone represent 24.5 per cent of the levy increase, Treasurer Carol James said. James provided council with possible funding options using a mix of reserves and OMPF (Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund) money that could be used to mitigate the tax spike caused by the OPP budget. A draw of $28,500 transfer from reserves with $15,000 in OMPF funds would lower the proposed tax increase to 4.62 per cent. “I’m not sure if council wants to fund more of the increase. There is just not much more we can do to take that away,” James said when last month when she first tabled the draft budget.
“My own caution for this is we don’t know what the policing budgets will be in the future. They will be going up for sure,” she added Monday. Right now the increase equates to $21.49 per $100,000 of assessment, she said. Council could use more OMPF dollars or reserve funds to mitigate the impact. In the draft budget a property assessed at $250,000 would see municipal taxes increase by $60.77. Area rates for village ward residents have seen a slight 1.85 per cent or $3.99 on a property assessed at $150,000. Village ward residents pay for sidewalks, streetlights, and curbside garbage collection through area rates which stand at $124,000 for 2016. “This hasn’t changed a lot. The only thing that changed was streetlights a tiny bit,” said James. There’s a proposed $2 increase in flat water rates for both residential and commercial properties with no change proposed for sewer rates other than those on commercial metered accounts which go up $10. User fees will generate $132,288 for the King Street reconstruction project which includes water and sewer work. Council wants more time to review the budget and looks forward to hearing from the public Dec. 14. They’d
like another meeting to pour over the budget in finer detail. During council’s first look at the draft last month, Mayor Gerow said it was “highly important” ratepayers “know where that increase is coming from.” “Four or five per cent is going to be
a pretty hard thing for some people to deal with,” Gerow added Monday. “We have people living on one pension incomes and (increases) are significant.” People need to know that policing costs make up a substantial chunk of
the proposed increase, he said. “I don’t want to become reliant on OMPF to offset policing costs. I don’t want to see council move in the direction where we are utilizing those funds to mitigate costs, especially policing, in the long term.”
For a job well done, wear your PJ’s to class When Kubota Canada Ltd., a CFL sponsor, sponsored a tour of the Grey Cup across Canada, it also was done to support local food banks along the way. When the tour made a brief stop at Percy Centennial Public School, it set in motion a two-week food drive. The challenge was to fill the school’s lost-andfound bin, which students from kindergarten to Grade 8 managed to do and more, earning them a Pajama Day in celebration Dec. 4. Two dozen boxes and bags were collected, led by members of the school’s local Ontario Educational Leadership Centre group, and the food was turned over to 7 Hills Community Pantry.

James McKay said. It “caused so much damage to the masonry on these buttresses that they’re actually pulling away from the wall. So they have to be repaired and that is something that we did not expect when we started the project.” That was in 2011 when the church decided it was time to put a permanent end to water leaking into the church and carry out major repairs, rather than continue with the temporary fixes that had been attempted over the years. “We have some 80-year-old members of this parish who were altar boys ... and they remember the priest at that time telling them to move the buckets around, so that’s how long that tower had been leaking,” McKay said. It doesn’t leak anymore – its floor still needs replacing - so having to repair five buttresses now “has thrown us a real curve” and is “going to add hugely” to the original estimate of about $550,000, he said. “It’s going to be at least another $250,000.” That’s a huge blow for St. Mary’s, which has raised $350,000 to date for the project. Historical restoration consultant Tom Plue, Sky-High Restoration, remains in charge of the project and “is now working with an architect from Toronto sent by the diocese to examine all the buildings in the diocese,” McKay said. “We will have a report for our budget in January about what we’re looking at now for the repairs.” “I’m sitting on tenterhooks as the chair of finance ... waiting to get another estimate now to repair all of everything.” In the meantime, a benefit concert, featuring Northumberland Wind Trio, will take place Sunday, Dec. 13 from 3
The Northumberland Wind Trio – l-r, Gregory Ward, Anne Olscher and Helen Torney – will perform in concert at St. Mary’s Church Dec. 13. Admission will be a freewill donation to restoration of the church’s bell tower.
to 4 p.m. at the church. It’s the latest of many fundraisers the church has held over the past five years in support of the bell tower project. The trio – Gregory Ward (oboe), Helen Torney (clarinet) and Anne Olscher (bassoon) – met each other after joining the Northumberland Orchestra. Olscher is a former student of McKay, while he was a music professor at York University (1972-1988). He retired from Western University in 2010 and moved here. The concert will have Christmas carols, including sing-alongs, as well as some Mozart and Bach, McKay said. “You can’t go wrong with that.”
McKay will be performing as well, a solo bassoon piece, “Anerca,” that was written for him in 1980. Ward, from Port Hope, Olscher, who lives in the Havelock area, and Torney, a Cobourg resident, have been performing as a group for five years. “This is the first time we’ve had an instrumental celebration in the church in quite a while,” McKay said. “Certainly for the winter this is unique, and it’s really delightful music, it’s just perfect for Christmas.” Freewill donations will be accepted at the door, and those who donate more than $20 will receive a tax receipt if they wish, McKay said.

Marmora Santa Claus Parade includes a variety of characters By Margriet Kitchen Marmora – Dec. 5 was a busy day in the village of Marmora. The muchanticipated Santa Claus Parade was a delight, as wildly costumed marchers presented scenes from Whoville, with
the Grinch and many other Whoville residents handing out candy to the children. Dogs got into the act as well, in the spirit of the Grinch’s helper. Floats sponsored by many local businesses brought smiles and laughter as they passed.
The Marmora Scouts showed a lot of initiative with camping and canoeing scenes, depicting some of the many activities the troop is involved in year round. The Marmora Crowe Valley Lions Club, the Fair Board, the Legion, the Shriners and others added colour and fun to a successful parade. Fire trucks and EMS vehicles ushered in Santa Claus. After the parade, Santa was visited by young and not so young, as they enjoyed some welcome hot chocolate and confided their hopes for Christmas morning.
Photos by Margriet Kitchen As always, the Belleville Shriner clowns were a big hit with the onlookers at the Marmora Santa Claus parade.
Santa was in his best form as the highlight of the Christmas parade.

A warm welcome for Santa in Warkworth
Warkworth - More than 50 floats and bands turned out for Warkworth’s nighttime Santa Claus parade Dec. 4. “It was just a wonderful evening, I was very pleased with everything,” said Sharon Hutchinson, chair of the organizing committee. Stapley’s Towing was judged the best overall float while St.
John Ambulance’s tribute to a Charlie Brown Christmas best conveyed the parade’s theme. Also winning category prizes were HTM Insurance, D & E Campbell Trucking and Excavating, Victory Trophies, Warkworth Place Nursing Home, Percy Bulldogs and Trent Hills Therapy Dogs.
(Below) The theme for Warkworth Guiding’s float was Alice in Wonderland. Sparks and Brownies (including, in back, Isabella Armstrong, Hannah Greenly, Alayna Young, and, in front, Trinity Savage and Alex Brown) dressed as flowers from the garden, while Guides and Pathfinders went as cards and collected donations to the 7 Hills Pantry Food Bank.
Mrs. Claus couldn’t make it so Santa invited one of his furry friends to join him.
Photos by John Campbell
The Warkworth Business Association recruited Santa’s elves – including Bob Leahy and Meirion Jones, in back, and Karen Brown, Derek Cheung and Len Brown, in front – to represent the organization.

Santa Claus Parade is a hit with Stirling residents and visitors

Warm weather with no wind created perfect conditions for watching the parade, but in case people got chilled, many whose homes fronted the parade route had outdoor wood stoves set up where people could get warmed up.
Oh, those Minions — they take over everything! Even poor Thomas the Tank Engine was not immune. This delightful float represented Steve Walt Property Management and won best of parade honours.

Stirling – It seemed as if the entire village of Stirling was lining the streets Friday evening, Dec. 4, for the annual Santa Claus Parade — and those who weren’t watching were probably in the parade! This year’s edition included groups of marchers from various schools, many colourful floats, several groups of horses and, of course, lots of bright Christmas lights. “It went very well,” said parade organizer Kim Finkle. “We had about 45 floats. Everyone seemed to have a good time. We had lots of music this year.” Many community and service organizations were represented, both from Stirling itself and from the surrounding area. Among the many groups participating were the Stirling Fire Department with their 1931 Rugby fire truck, Farmtown Park with an antique truck and, of course, Santa himself, riding in a float pulled by a team of Percheron

Christmas smiles, laughter fill Hastings Legion By Bill Freeman Hastings – Smiles and laughter filled the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 106 in Hastings Sunday afternoon during the village’s eighth annual children’s Christmas Festival. The festive gathering for youngsters and their families has become a firmly established tradition in the community taking over for a once popular Santa Claus parade which ran its course until it died from lack of volunteers. Children enjoyed crafts, free hot chocolate and pizza, the music of Beth and Darren, a surprise drop-in by the caped
crusader and a jingle bell ringing visit from Santa Claus. The Christmas Festival has become a good fit hearkening back to earlier days at Branch 106 when the Legion used to hold a Christmas Eve children’s party that featured movies and treats. Before the days of VCRs and big screen TVs, the Legion party was a big deal in the small town. “It’s sort of morphed into part of the (Canada Day) parade committee so we do both,” festival volunteer Pat Funk said. The group gets support from Legion Branch 106 and receives a donation

from the Municipality of Trent Hills, says Funk. “We have a big parade in the summer and that’s our main focus for us but we do this for the kids every year. I think the community should do it.” Like so many other things, the festival is driven by the energy of volunteers and Funk says volunteers are becoming Beth and Darren perform during the eighth annual community Christmas Festival at the Royal Cana- a precious commodity. dian Legion Branch 106 in Hastings. “Volunteers are very hard to

New payment schedule for Community Care auction was a record-setter Trent Hills firefighters By John Campbell Trent Hills – Starting next month, Trent Hills firefighters will be paid for hours they put in beyond responding to incidents, such as fires and medical calls. Under the new payment schedule developed by Fire Chief Tim Blake, members of the volunteer fire department will be paid $15 an hour to perform various equipment tests, and to attend committee meetings and specialized training courses. They will be paid $20 an hour to carry out fire inspections. In the past, such activities had been included in the $3,300 the firefighters receive annually as a stipend which remains unchanged. To quality for the full stipend, they must attend 40 per cent or more of all incidents. The amount is reduced incrementally by how much below the 40 per cent threshold they fall. “We have a pretty good success rate,” Blake said. “That’s my job to make them understand that they’re being counted on and [are] very highly regarded.” The same level of commitment applies to those in a higher position whose stipends vary with their rank: $3,800 for a captain, $4,200 for station assistant deputy-chief, $5,000 for station deputy-chief, and $6,000 for station chief. It’s the first increase the volunteers have received since Trent Hills became a municipality in 2001. Blake, the department’s lone full-time employee, said the new payment schedule is “pretty fair [in comparison] with what everybody else is doing” in Northumberland County to compensate their firefighters.
He drafted it in such a way that “there’s not a real big hit to the budget” for the municipality. His projections, based on estimated call volumes, show operating expenses at Station One in Campbellford will go up from $180,000 to $195,000 in 2015, from $95,000 to $102,000 for Station Two in Warkworth, and from $90,000 to $98,000 for Station Three in Hastings. The standby fee for firefighters for fires, vehicle accidents, medical emergencies and other responses was kept at $15 but raised to $20 for those who respond to the incident, “no matter how long at the scene,” which could be as short as 30 minutes and as long as several hours if a major event. Blake said full-time firefighters across Ontario earn in the $80,000 range but can go over the $100,000 mark with overtime. Local firefighters receive considerably less even though “they have to be professional” and “do the same job” as those who have made it career. “You can’t believe how dedicated they are,” Blake said. The new payment schedule “gives them a little bit more to have” and his message to the firefighters was to “make sure your family is looked after at Christmas time.” Spouses and children are the ones who suffer when firefighters are called out and forced to miss special events throughout the year such as birthdays, anniversaries and concerts, he said. More than 67 firefighters are affected by the demands on their time; there are the 67 families who are involved as well, he said. Without their support, “you don’t have a firefighter.”
Civic Centre open house a showcase for services
By Bill Freeman
Hastings – The Hastings Civic Centre is a community hub that more people should know about and that’s a major reason behind its first ever “Sharing the Caring” open house. “We specifically wanted to do this because there’s an unawareness of what Community Care does at the Civic Centre,” said Robin Murphy, who works at Community Care Northumberland’s Hastings office in the Civic Centre. Murphy was the brainchild behind the open house which showcased Community Care’s services along with neighbours like the Hastings Public Library, the Ontario Early Years Centre and other agencies and groups which use the centre such as the Northumberland Community Legal Centre and Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit. The Hastings Helpers, a volunteer group, formed to help overcome some of the challenges posed by the impending four-month bridge closure, was also on hand with representatives from various recreation programs sponsored by Community Care. Community Care’s Memory Tree was also on site with visitors welcome to place an ornament on the tree in remembrance of a loved one.
“Most people don’t even know of the services we offer here,” says Murphy, thrilled by the turnout. “I thought it would be a good idea to get people involved, especially with the bridge closure,” she said. “It is a community hub (that’s) terribly underused. I think this will help with awareness and promote everybody in here. “The whole purpose of this is to make everybody aware that we’re here to help which is what Community Care does.” Murphy would like the open house to become an annual event. “Every year Community Care grows a little bit,” she said, adding that they expect to add a few more recreation and wellness programs. “At this time of year, it’s a nice time to showcase the resources that are here,” librarian Shirley Coughlan added. “As a community we are lucky to have this building with all these things in one place. “We all provide services that could be used by more people than already use them,” she said. “It’s a fantastic idea. I hope they’ll keep this a tradition,” said Angie Nestoruk of the Early Years Centre. “There’s so much going on here and it’s good to get it out to the public. It’s their civic centre.”

Stirling-Rawdon ponders costs of county-wide policing by the OPP Stirling - In hopes of saving money, the 14 member municipalities in Hastings County are being asked if they are interested in requesting a costing for the Ontario Provincial Police to provide police services across the entire county, instead of having many individual police services. On Monday, Dec. 7, Stirling-Rawdon Council voted
in favour of going ahead with finding out the cost of making the change. “I think this is a good proposal,” said StirlingRawdon Mayor Rodney Cooney. Currently, policing is the responsibility of each individual municipality. At the last regular meeting of Hastings County Council in November, a comparison was made with the United Counties of Stormont, Dun-

das and Glengarry, which has had unified policing for about 10 years. There, the total cost of policing the entire population of approximately 65,000 people in 2016 is estimated at $11.5-million. The cost is included in the annual County levy. The level of service is equal in all areas and there is one Police Services Board for the entire County. Hastings County includes about 33,000 people, but the estimated total cost of policing for all 14 municipalities for 2016 is about $10-million. Of that, about 18 per cent ($1.8-million) is the cost incurred for policing in Stirling-Rawdon. Hastings Council has asked each of the 14 member municipalities to decide by January 22 whether it supports moving forward with a costing request to the OPP. Approving a resolution to request the cost estimate will not require a municipality to commit to a contract for Countywide policing. Shared services on a smaller scale have been approved for firefighting in Stirling-Rawdon and the

Stirling - Five years of annual reductions in provincial funding to StirlingRawdon has Mayor Rodney Cooney fuming. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the cuts, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the amount, said the mayor, at a time when other Hastings County municipalities are receiving either increases or very moderate decreases. Cooney insists itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fair, especially since each decease in Ontario Municipal Partnership Funding (OMPF) means a corresponding increase in the burden put on the taxpayers to the point where a mill rate increase can no longer overcome the difference. Until 2011, the OMPF transfer grant to Stirling-Rawdon went up each year, just as it did for every other municipality. Then the cuts started. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of a sudden comes 2011, and we just started getting hammered,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Cooney said. The numbers are staggering. The biggest decrease was in 2011, when the transfer payment to this municipality was cut by $527,500. After that, the decrease was $181,200 in 2012, $161,8700 in 2013, $289,000 in 2014 and finally another $208,100 this year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a total of more than $1 million in decreased provincial funding for Stirling-Rawdon over the past five years.
But, what really upsets the mayor is that none of the other Hastings County municipalities have been treated this way by the province. Only two others had their grants reduced in 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Deseronto, which received $3,100 less than the previous year, and Madoc Township, whose grant went down by $4,600. Bancroft received the same amount as in 2014. The remaining 10 municipalities all had increases in their OMPF grants ranging from $11,500 extra for Limerick to an increase of $247,000 for Hastings Highlands. That, says Cooney, is not right. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begrudge the increases other municipalities received, but he feels Stirling-Rawdon is being singled out by the province for massive cuts and he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to find out why. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (the province) really wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give us an answer,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to be treated fairly.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Cooney said that Rawdon has the most agricultural land of all the member municipalities and that means less tax money coming in. As well, Stirling-Rawdon has no lakes, which means there are no high-assessment cottages to help out. And, despite having only a small section of a river flowing through the municipality, that section is under the control of no less than three separate conservation au-

Campbellford – A Campbellford team of curlers led by Skip Ken McCulloch iced the competition and won the Empire Cheese Farmers Bonspiel held on the weekend at the Campbellford Curling Club. McCulloch has organized the competition for years and it has always attracted curlers from not only Campbellford but from curling clubs in nearby communities. Traditionally 16 teams participate and this year was no different with curlers coming not only from Campbellford but also from Belleville, Stirling and Tweed. McCulloch is not new to winning either, having won the bonspiel several times in the past with a team of like-minded curling enthusiasts. His winning team this year, that froze out the competition, included Aaron Nicholas, vice; Vaughn
Rowe, second; and Jerry Reid as lead. Second place was a team of curlers from Tweed and included Les Martin, Bruce Bateman, Brett Reavie and Dale Martin. Third place was another team from Campbellford and included curlers Jim Brownson, Steve Finch, Kelton Wright and Rick Reid. In the past couple of years Tweed and Trenton curlers have always taken the top two spots but this year Campbellford curlers stepped up taking two of the top three winning positions. Again this year the calibre of curling remained high. The curlers are not all farmers, even though it’s a farmers’ bonspiel. “It’s not a rule that curlers have to be farmers but typically there are a couple of farmers on every team,” noted McCulloch. Curlers receive some pretty spectacular prizes at the finish of the day-long event.
“All the sponsors donate some amazing stuff. We have great prizes. Our sponsors are amazing,” McCulloch said. “Of course our main sponsor is Empire Cheese,” he added. McCulloch, who has been an avid curler for more than a quarter-century, said the event is competitive but it’s a lot of fun too. And the bonspiel is very popular with not only the curlers but the sponsors. “Empire Cheese Co-op has been our main sponsor for many years now and we really appreciate their generosity,” said McCulloch. Empire Cheese makes sure everyone goes home with their award-winning cheese and supplies gift baskets for the winning teams. The bonspiel itself began even before the current club was built. There’s a trophy in the club’s showcase that has winners dating back to 1970. Please see photos on page 34

Campbellford – Hockey Day in Campbellford returns this Saturday, with a full slate of games featuring all 10 local teams, from tyke to midget. There will also be a prize table, 50/50 draw, afternoon bar and music, with a portion of the day’s proceeds to go to Flourish, the Trent Hills Wellness Campaign that has raised funds for a variety of projects, including a new recreational facility in Campbellford that combines a rink and indoor swimming pool. The event made its debut in 2014 and raised $2,500 for the campaign. “It was quite successful, we had a good time last year,” said Owen Brunton, president of the Campbellford Minor Hockey Association. The first game starts at 8 a.m. Most of the matches will be against teams from Stirling but there will be competition as well from Warkworth, Lakefield and Norwood. The majority are league games, so count in the standings. Admission for each game is $2 for seniors and students and $4 for adults. Children 12 and under get in free and a day pass can be purchased for $6. There are about 180 children registered to play hockey this season and all will be taking part in the games that day, Brunton said. It’s “a fun day” to show the Trent Hills community “how important the arena is to us,” he said. “We just hope to have as many people out as possible. Last year was a lot of fun for everybody,” especially the parents.
Tweed’s biggest Santa Claus Parade sees largest crowds yet By Brett Mann Tweed – Tweed’s 2015 Santa Claus parade appears to be the most successful one yet. Unseasonably mild and sunny weather combined with social media promotion attracted a record number of floats, participants and parade-watchers. The annual parade is sponsored by the Lions Club and organizer Maril Swan reports “nearly 50” participants this year. A wide array of decorated floats featuring the Stirling Citizens Band, Elvis Tribute Artist Pat Dunn, and contributions from local businesses and service clubs joined with horse riders, a mule team, the marching band of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets, Town Crier Fearnley Davies, throngs of children and of course Santa Claus to create a memorable event. Santa Claus himself Swan says organizers estimate a brings up the rear, crowd of about 2,500 lined both greeting many in the sides of the Victoria Street parade crowds by name. route. Volunteers distributed candies and treats as parents and kids took in the seemingly endless column of floats and participants. “The firemen said the crowd of kids was the most they’ve ever seen; they reckoned about 600 or 700,” reported Wendy Lamb, chair of last year’s parade. She attributes the huge turnout to the weather. “It was fantastic, and that always brings people out. I kind of wanted snow but nobody agreed with me,” she said with a laugh. She notes that social media played a bigger role this year. “One group, Fantastical Costumes, featuring cartoon characters, placed the parade poster on Facebook and (Community Development Man- These kids get to be in the parade and watch at the same time. ager) Rachelle Hardesty also advertised the event on social media as well as helping with the Santa Claus float.” “There were more floats this year … the beginning of the parade pulled off of River Street onto Metcalf Street as the tail of the parade was leaving. People put a lot of effort into the floats this year. The Kiwanis Toyland float was in~ Municipality of Centre Hastings credible,” Lamb stated. The Kiwanis float won “hon2015/2016 Christmas Holiday Hours: ourable mention” while the Girl Guides float was judged “best decMUNICIPAL OFFICE: orated.” The Turning Pointe Ballet Will close at 12:00 noon on School entry won “best musical Thursday, December 24, 2015, float” and the “spirit of the season” award went to the Little Learners and re-open Monday, January 4, 2016. float.

letic Volleyball tournament. Mark Carlen, a teacher at Kent Public School in Campbellford, was the tournament convener. The girls from area schools competed in the East Area Athletic Volleyball tournament in Norwood. The top three winning teams from the day-long boys’ competition include: 1st - Spring Valley Public School of Brighton; 2nd - Brighton Public School; 3rd Murray Centennial Public School from Quinte West. The winning girls’ teams include: 1st - Hillcrest Public School in Hastings, 2nd - Spring Valley and 3rd - Northumberland Hills. The girls move on to compete in the board-wide competition Monday, Dec. 7. No results were available at press time. The winning boys’ teams are scheduled to compete at the board level event Friday, Dec. 11 at the Cobourg Community Centre. The boys’ competition saw eight teams compete in two pools of players at CDHS. “The format was set up so they play off and work their way up to a semi-final and a final game,” noted Carlen, on the day of the competition here. “There’s been a couple of surprises this year where some smaller school teams are doing very well. We’ve got some bigger schools so it’s always nice to see that the competition is there,” he added. Carlen, who is an avid athlete was enthused about the competition. “Overall since we’ve started this

board-wide competition and it’s only been in effect for four years, the quality of volleyball is getting better,” he commented as he watched his son Simon, a Grade 7 student at Kent (Public School, Campbellford), lob some balls over the net. “That’s the desired effect, that we take the kids up and give them more opportunities to excel,” he noted. “When they see other players that are better than them it really elevates them. Even in the one day tournament here you see kids go from very low in skill level to extremely high ... a very quick development,” he added enthusiastically. Carlen agreed that volleyball is alive and doing well at the elementary school level. On a somewhat gloomier note though, Carlen commented, “Un-

fortunately with declining enrolment at the high schools it’s hard for them to develop a team.” His son Simon, though, seems to be following in his dad’s footsteps with his enthusiasm for sports. “We’ve won one game against Hillcrest so far,” he said during a break from a scrimmage with his teammates. This was his first year competing in a volleyball tournament. When asked why he decided to play volleyball, he commented, “I really like the game. It’s fun. I just like hitting the ball I guess and spiking.” Simon also plays soccer and hockey. “I just do all the sports,” he said before heading back onto the court. A recreational volleyball tournament was held last week on the same day in Brighton at East Northumberland Secondary School.

Harlem Ambassadors score big in Madoc
By Diane Sherman
Madoc - Years ago, the Harlem Globetrotters toured internationally, bringing professional basketball to rural regions of Canada. They were funny and talented. Though the Harlem Ambassadors, who landed in Madoc last week for a stopover game, are not affiliated with that original group, or any other “Harlem-style” basketball teams, they are definitely skilled and entertaining, and have also toured the world. Team members came up through the college basketball ranks, leaving armed with college degrees but still wanting to have fun playing hoops. Most tour one or two years depending on their goals. The team of five ambassadors, Brittany Dorsey, Nick Simpson, Marquette Knight, Mike Wilkes and Melvin Dolberry, did a full game show with staff and students of Centre Hastings Secondary School in the afternoon Nov. 27, then went to Belleville to give a talk on drugs, education and living a good life, says Dorsey, who has the role of speaker, performer and

player. She explains, “We are good citizens and willing role models for youth, promoting the values of staying in school, staying off drugs, and fostering racial harmony.” The Ambassadors are more than basketball players. They offer wholesome family entertainment with interludes of skits and foolishness, including a round dance where everyone is invited to “show us your style,” which brings everyone together. While in Belleville they met up with guest players, Mac Adams and Alan Albano, of the 424 Search and Rescue Squadron from CFB Trenton. Adams and Albano are both accomplished players who worked well with the team through hilarious antics and off-the-cuff cajoling. Referees hired for the shows, Steve Jones, and Steve Richardson, were expecting a regular basketball game. Both men said it was the “best job” they had had in a long time. The challenging team, “The Roaring Lions” was made up of local celebrities and friends, in-

Coach Tom Simpson and assistant MP Mike Bossio ran the bench. Lions Club President Tom Simpson said he received an email from the Ambassadors promoting their show as an opportunity to raise funds. The Lions then partnered with CHSS to host the two shows where they raffled tickets for a basketball signed by all the Ambassadors. The result was success all around, with 282 tickets sold for the night show. Both children and adults left with positive memories to be shared. Find more information at <harlemambassadors.com>.

Quinte Ballet Holiday dance special is Saturday, December 12
It’s only a few days away from the annual festive performances of Quinte Ballet School’s ‘Holiday Dance Presents’ on Saturday, Dec. 12, and tickets are selling at a steady pace for both the 1pm and 4pm matinees. QBSC’s professional students are busy putting the final touches on the upcoming presentation. Sumptuous costumes have been prepared, studios are ringing out Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite score and office staff members are busy spreading good cheer. As with all QBSC productions, the shows are presented in the spacious and comfortable Centennial Secondary School Theatre Auditorium located at 160 Palmer Road, right next door to the ballet school. The Candy Cane Café will also be on hand in the lobby, post-shows, to provide light refreshments, an opportunity to have your picture taken on the Sugar Plum Fairy’s throne and to meet the talented young dancers. QBSC also has some very special student dancers from the Recreation Division this year, making these shows a truly well-rounded school production. Choreography for Holiday Dance Presents has been adapted by Artistic Director Catherine Taylor and the professional faculty. The professional students work especially hard at this time of year as every day, beginning with their academic courses, they then move on to QBSC where they continue with their dance training followed by rehearsals. Despite long days, the students are excited about giving the community a view of their hard work, dedication and the expressive world of dance. Catherine Taylor comments that the opportunity to perform is a very important part of a dance stu-

It takes many weeks of preparation for this popular community event, and once again McDougall Insurance and Financial has stepped up to become the Event sponsor.

Belleville - A bill intended to crack down on the sale of contraband cigarettes was supported in principle by the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health board. The vote followed a presentation by Prince Edward-Hastings Member of Provincial Parliament Todd Smith at the Friday, Dec. 4. board meeting. He said Bill 139 is essentially designed to stop “organized crime.” “We’re considered to be the wild west here in Ontario” in the world of contraband tobacco, said Smith, adding that he has learned illegal cigarettes made in Ontario are being sold around the world. Smith introduced the bill in the Ontario Legislature in November. It was supported by all three parties, he said, and he expects it will be discussed at the committee level in the new year. The bill would increase fines for those caught selling illegal tobacco and suspend drivers’ licences for those using vehicles to transport the cigarettes. The bill is known as the Smoke-Free Schools Act, as it was initially intended to address the sale of these cigarettes to minors. Smith said he’s worried that people are buying contraband cigarettes, such as those manufactured and sold in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, and taking them in vans to parking lots outside high schools, where they sell them for rates teenagers can afford simply by rummaging around loose change. “Kids were getting introduced to smoking, very affordably or cheaply,” Smith said. Roberto Almeida, a health protection program manager, also spoke about the bill at the meeting. “We support it as well,” he said. “We feel it closes a loophole on the sale of tobacco on school grounds. Overall it aims to reduce youth access to tobacco.” Almeida spoke about more efforts that are being considered to lower smoking rates. He said the newly-elected Liberal government in Ottawa is considering legislation that forces “plain packaging” for cigarettes. That means the cigarette company can only print its name on the box and not build a distinctive brand. There’s also talk in health circles, Almeida said, on whether it’s time to raise taxes on cigarettes even more, as they’ve stayed the same in Ontario for about 10 years. Following presentations by both men, the board voted to support the bill in principle. Smith said he also has support from the Canadian Cancer Society and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. With this support, he hopes the
bill can be passed into law before next year’s budget. But he acknowledged, due to the slow nature of government, it may take longer. While cigarettes were being discussed, the topic of the sale of contraband cigarettes in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory came up. Prince Edward County representative Kevin Gale asked Almeida whether the health unit can limit the sale of these cigarettes, as he’s concerned that many PEC residents buy cheap cigarettes on the “Vegaslike” cigarette shops on Tyendinaga Territory. Almedia said the health unit doesn’t enforce cigarette

George Thorogood will rock Havelock By Bill Freeman Havelock – Get ready to rock in Havelock. George Thorogood and the Destroyers will bring their sizzling rock ‘n blues to the famous twin stages as part of the first ever Haverock Revival July 8-9. The 500 acre site of the globally famous Havelock Country Jamboree will kick up its heels with some bad to the bone classic rock with more than a dozen bands getting their ya’s out over two days. Joining the Destroyers so far are Woodstock festival stars Canned Heat, Canadian legends
Trooper, Chilliwack, Sass Jordan and the Legendary Downchild Blues Band as well as 1970s country rockers The Cooper Brothers. More are to be announced. “It’s exciting,” says the Jamboree’s Jen Goheen. “Ed and Paula (Jamboree owners Ed Leslie and Paula Chopik) have been talking about how they’re going to do it for years and just finally said “let’s jump in and do it,’” Goheen says. She and Paula were looking through some rosters for the Jamboree and booking acts when Paula started highlighting some of the names. They were
all classic rock performers and that triggered the desire to put together what they’ve called the first annual Haverock Revival. With the Jamboree’s mammoth new state-of-the-art stages they’re able to accommodate everything and anyone. “The booking agents we work with know our venue and the artists are happy to be here. It’s the same venue; it’s the same people running it. It’s the same atmosphere only that we’re going to throw some rock out there.” They plan for 12 to 14 acts the first year and will grow from there, says Goheen. The two-

day music festival was deliberately set for the weekend before the big RPM (Recreation, Performance and Motor) show because they expect a lot of people will stay over for that event. Camping would begin Thursday evening with close out on Sunday for those not staying for RPM. “We’re still juggling things around because of touring and itinerary but should be able to put a schedule out in early January,” Goheen says. Renowned blues rocker Thorogood will headline Saturday. Ed was involved in the famous 1969 Varsity Stadium “Rock and Roll Revival” which brought The Doors, John Lennon and Yoko Ono with Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Alice Cooper, Chicago and others to Toronto. “It’s always been his dream to do a classic rock show here,” says Goheen. They talked to Bob Spencer of Metal Works Productions whom they work with at the Jamboree and asked: “Who still sounds good? Who still draws a crowd? Who should we go after in our first year?” “He gave us a beautiful list of names. It’s been a very easy booking process for us.” The Jamboree has had some classic rockers on stage before like Mitch Ryder, the Guess Who, The Stampeders and John Cafferty. “Fans have asked for it, so let’s give

ing for almost four per cent of that. The 2016 municipal tax levy requirement is $5,499,919 a jump of $453,299 or nine per cent. Policing costs in HBM jumped from $995,811 in 2015 to $1,241,088 under the OPP’s new funding formula. Policing costs alone represent 24.5 per cent of the levy increase, Treasurer Carol James said. James provided council with pos-

sible funding options using a mix of reserves and OMPF (Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund) money that could be used to mitigate the tax spike caused by the OPP budget. A draw of $28,500 transfer from reserves with $15,000 in OMPF funds would lower the proposed tax increase to 4.62 per cent. “I’m not sure if council wants to fund more of the increase. There is just not much more we can do to take that away,” James said when last month when she first tabled the draft budget. “My own caution for this is we don’t know what the policing budgets will be in the future. They will be going up for sure,” she added Monday. Right now the increase equates to $21.49 per $100,000 of assessment, she said. Council could use more OMPF dollars or reserve funds to mitigate the impact. In the draft budget a property assessed at $250,000 would see municipal taxes increase by $60.77. Area rates for village ward residents have seen a slight 1.85 per cent or $3.99 on a property assessed at $150,000. Village ward residents pay for sidewalks, streetlights, and curbside garbage collection through area rates which stand at $124,000 for 2016. “This hasn’t changed a lot. The only thing that changed was streetlights a tiny bit,” said James. There’s a proposed $2 increase in flat water rates for
both residential and commercial properties with no change proposed for sewer rates other than those on commercial metered accounts which go up $10. User fees will generate $132,288 for the King Street reconstruction project which includes water and sewer work. Council wants more time to review the budget and looks forward to hearing from the public Dec. 14. They’d like another meeting to pour over the budget in finer detail. During council’s first look at the draft last month, Mayor Gerow said it was “highly important” ratepayers “know where that increase is coming from.” “Four or five per cent is going to be a pretty hard thing for some people to deal with,” Gerow added Monday. “We have people living on one pension incomes and (increases) are significant.” People need to know that policing costs make up a substantial chunk of the proposed increase, he said. “I don’t want to become reliant on OMPF to offset policing costs. I don’t want to see council move in the direction where we are utilizing those funds to mitigate costs, especially policing, in the long term.”

Belleville – Residents of Quinte Living Centre didn’t have to go to the grocery store on Wednesday, Dec. 2. Instead, a grocery store came to them. A fresh fruit and vegetable market was set up in a common room of the Front Street retirement residence in the afternoon. The market was there, thanks to the Community Development Council of Quinte’s new Travelling Market program. The CDC is a non-profit agency that has been providing health and social service programs to the community since 1989. One of its most popular programs is the Good Food Box. Those who sign up for it receive large boxes of produce, monthly, for a discounted price.
The Travelling Market works similarly, in that it gives people access to healthy food at a low cost. However, now people don’t necessarily have to travel to the CDC office to pick up their produce. Some people may find that it’s easier to pick up produce at a travelling market location. Jim Mallabar, the co-ordinator of the new program, said the Travelling Market attends places that may be described as “food deserts,” meaning they’re, in the case of an urban area, more than one kilometre away from a grocery store. In the case of a rural area, it’s considered four kilometres. Quinte Living Centre is one of seven locations within Hastings County where the Travelling Market will visit throughout each month. It also visits the Jesus Christ Church Continued on page B6

of Latter-day Saints in Bancroft, the Loud Mouth Café in Coe Hill, the Legion in Madoc, the library in Marmora, the Legion in Deseronto and the Community Partners for Success building in Frankford. Mallabar said the program started as a pilot project in the summer but launched officially last month and it got great feedback from customers at all of the locations. The rewarding part for him was seeing the smiles on the faces of customers as they checked out the fresh food. “People loved the idea,” he said. “We got rave reviews … That’s one of the perks of the job, to see the happiness.” The program is being financed by Hastings County. The funds allow the CDC to buy the produce from a wholesaler. The food is sold immediately, so the food customers get, in some
cases, could be even fresher than food they would buy from a grocery store. “We don’t mark it up; it’s at cost,” Mallabar said. “It helps people eat healthy and save money at the same time.” The food available includes potatoes, onions, celery, cucumbers, green onions, apples, oranges, carrots, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, bananas and kiwi. Mallabar said the program’s intention is to lower food insecurity statistics. The Quinte area has the second highest rate of food insecurity in the province, meaning one in every nine people often don’t have enough money to purchase nutritious food.

Indian River – Two underground snake “hibernaculum” have been constructed on the grounds of the Indian River Reptile Zoo as one of the most unique stewardship projects undertaken by Otonabee Conservation and its partners this year. The underground chambers (hibernacula) allow native Eastern Milksnakes to enjoy a safe and protective space during the cold winter months. “The hibernacula protect snakes from dry, frigid winter temperatures ensuring they overwinter in a healthy condition. When the snakes emerge in the spring, they will feed in nearby meadows and woodlands,” says Meredith Carter, manager of environmental and technical services for Otonabee Conservation. Otonabee Conservation has undertaken 36 stewardship projects with its watershed region partners, ranging from Monarch butterfly way
stations to turtle nesting habitat creation and reforestations. The renowned Indian River Reptile Zoo was pleased to be able to work with Otonabee Conservation on the project. The project establishes a “critical habitat for Eastern Milksnakes, a species of special concern in Ontario,” says Kyle O’Grady, the zoo’s assistant curator. “At the zoo we work hard to educate visitors about snakes as many people are often afraid of snakes. This project will help visitors to our zoo better understand local snake populations and their habitat requirements,” O’Grady said. O’Grady says the zoo will unveil interpretative signage about the hibernacula and Eastern Milksnakes during a special celebration this spring. The hibernacula project received funding support from the federal government as part of its National Conservation Plan.

It’s the giving season, so why are so many taking?
R0013589872
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. fuzzy season, the giving seaOkay, no, it isn’t. It’s beginning to look a lot like April, son. but that’s a weather story. But, I’m also somewhat put I’m talking about the Christmas season, the warm and off by something I see in Belleville every year and that’s greed. It’s the greed exhibited by people who live, work and shop in downtown Belleville – and likely in Trenton and Picton, where this sneaky, greasy practice is no doubt playing out as well. It’s free parking – as in free for all! Whee! – wherever local municipalities operate parking meters. But, it isn’t really free except for scores of freeloaders who take advantage of the opportunity. Food for Learning’s Feed the Meter campaign is back for another holiday season, raising funds for student nutrition programs that are served throughout Hastings and Prince Edward counties. The campaign was launched at a community breakfast at The Greek Hall in Belleville last Wednesday. Feed the Meter is a pro-

gram run by the Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation, with partnership from the municipalities of Belleville, Quinte West and Prince Edward County. During the month of December, these municipalities offer free parking in downtown Belleville, Trenton and Picton on the understanding that motorists will put change into parking meters during the month. All proceeds will go to support Food for Learning’s breakfast, snack and lunch programs in schools. According to organizers, the program is important because children in Hastings and Prince Edward counties are attending school hungry every day. I’ve heard cynics make observations that say, basically, “Let their parents feed the little buggers before sending them out the door…” or “Maybe if mom and dad weren’t buying beer and smokes with their welfare cheques, there’d be breakfast on the table for the kids…” That sort of thing. Not that easy, Ronnie Redneck. For every kid who ar-
rives at school hungry or who has a lunchbag that holds little more than a granola bar and a bag of chips, there’s a different story as to why they’re not eating properly. And, as we’ve learned in a civilized society, if kids aren’t properly nourished, it’s one less tool in their learning toolbox. Programs are available in most schools in this region and this school year, 176 breakfast, lunch and snack programs are being offered throughout Hastings and Prince Edward counties. Between September and June, approximately 950,000 meals and snacks will be served to local children and youth. “We want to increase the chance of success at school for our students,” says Maribeth deSnoo, executive director of The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation. “Hastings and Prince Edward counties has the second highest rate of food insecurity in the province of Ontario.” Yes, you read that right – we really, really rank right
Chris Malette up there with the most impoverished districts in this blessed province when it comes to sending kids off to school malnourished. “The benefits of participating in a student nutrition program are immeasurable,” deSnoo continued. “Many students depend on our programs for their daily nutrition. Feed the Meter allows us to continue to provide quality food choices for all students.” Continued on page B9
CDC offers Community Kitchen Level 2 workshops While the Community Development Council of Quinte continues with its Travelling Market and Good Baby Box programs, it is also moving forward another popular program, the Community Kitchens. The Community Kitchen program helps to teach participants to stretch their food dollars by cooking in large quantities as a group. The CDC has offered Level One Kitchen workshops in the past and is now offering Level 2 classes. The Level 2 class will be an extension of the Level 1 class with a more in-depth focus on personal and shopping budgeting information and shopping tips. Attending the Level
1 Kitchen is a prerequisite to registering for Level 2. The participants will each receive a crock pot to further enhance their cooking abilities. “With the success of the Level 1 workshops, we wanted to provide a more in-depth focus on personal and shopping budgeting information and further shopping tips,” said program coordinator Bev Heuving. One of the upcoming Level 2 workshops takes place on Tuesday, Dec. 15 at Deseronto United Church from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. For more information on any of these programs, call 613-968-2466, or visit the CDC office at 65 Station St. Belleville.
Why are so many taking?
Continued from page B8 But, day-in and day-out, if you’re ever downtown in any of the towns in these parts that participate in the program, you’ll see them – the scofflaws and freeloaders who see the program as a ticket to free parking, without a thought or a tinge of guilt for parking their car or truck and walking away – sometimes for the whole day – without putting so much as a nickel in the meter. Human nature, I guess, but it’s too easy to write
off the grubby practice as: “Hey, life’s expensive enough, I’m going grab a freebie whenever and wherever I can.” So, hit the hip and feed the meter, won’t you? And while you’re at it, drop a few shekels in the Sally Ann kettles. Hey, it’s Christmas! Give a little, live a little. And feel better doing it.

It’s a wonderful show!
By Jack Evans
Belleville - “It’s a Wonderful Life,” the classic Great Depression era title now playing at the Pinnacle Playhouse, is more than just a title: it’s a wonderful show. Generous-sized audiences for the opening shows have risen, teary-eyed at the end to join the cast in singing “Auld Lang Syne” after a spellbinding two hours of rich, warm, comedic drama. This is indeed a memorable Christmas present from the Belleville Theatre Guild and its stable of talented amateur actors to the entire community. It is also a huge credit for Scott Roodvoets left, plays the beleaguered George Bailey while Colin Leonard is his craft guardian Bill Petch as a creative and skillful angel, Clarence, in the Belleville Theatre Guild radio play, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Photo by Greg director. That, as a motion picture, it has been screened Pinchin countless times over the decades and seen several times by almost everyone in attendance at Pinnacle Playhouse,
had no bearing. This show is live, as it would have been in a studio radio audience. The commercials, cleverly based on local sponsors of the show, read as if the said business firms were operating and promoting their services in the late 1930s. The casting is superb, from Scott Roodvoets as the bankrupt and disillusioned loans officer George Bailey, and Colin Leonard as his guardian angel, Clarence, to every other member of the cast, most of whom do different voices and roles into the old fashioned microphones spread across the stage. The villainous and greedy miser, Mr. Potter, and other roles were capably handled by veteran Dave Kidd. Sonya Zaback plays Mary, George’s wife, and also a talking parrot; Gerry Fraiberg speaks with experience as the announcer and also the supervising angel directing Clarence; Mo Lesley plays several different characters; John O’Connor is George’s Uncle Billy plus other roles;
Lise Lindenberg shines as Ma Bailey, urging her son to marry, and also other roles; Enno Busse plays Pop Bailey, Ernie the taxi driver and more; Timothy Fransky plays Dr.Campbell, Bert the police officer and more; Danielle Dettlinger almost steals the show with her child-with-a-cold voice as Zuzu and others and Ken MacPherson moves like a percussion player in an orchestra as he mans a table full of sound effects. The plot follows the movie version faithfully. In his darkest hour, George Bailey wishes he had never been born and, with Clarence’s help, gets to experience what his hometown would be like without him. Eager to return to life, he is greeted as a hero, showered with wealth of friends, family and money. Professional theatre companies could learn much from this dedicated, talented band of thespians. The show runs through Dec. 19. For tickets or information call (613) 9671442.

The Good Earth: The Christmas tree the room will not make it out. These tests were conducted with spruces, pines and firs with no appreciable difference in the results. So, how do you know if your tree has dried out? Falling needles is not always the tell-tale although needle retention is important. The difficulty here is that evergreens often have old and new needles on their branches. Once you’ve brought the tree indoors and it has relaxed, many of the old needles will fall onto the floor and this can be alarming. Look at the needles that are still on the branches, especially those at the tips of each stem and the crown: when the tree is drying out those are the needles that do so first. The obvious warning sign is that the level of water in the stand is not changing. When you first bring in the tree it will soak up a surprising amount of water; a gallon in the first day, several quarts for the next few days and then it will level off but still absorb some. (Okay, metric people, about four litres a day and then a couple of litres afterwards: okay, non-arithmetic people about four milk bags of water.) Needles that are not as glossy or shiny are also an indicator that the tree is drying out. What do you do with a dried out tree? You can put a fresh cut on the butt and see if it rehydrates itself. Or, and this is the best response, replace the tree with a new one. It is a bit of a messy,
time-consuming hassle to do this but the alternative is not desirable. This is not rocket science, GR, and it is unlikely that you will experience difficulties with your tree but you do need to be aware. Okay, PSA completed. Is the Christmas tree a Christian symbol? I’ve heard lots of discussions recently about this and some of those conversations were a titch heated. Frankly, GR, I don’t care if it is or not. I personally believe and celebrate Christmas as a Holy Day and I don’t need a decoration to focus my faith. But, we love having a Christmas tree in our home. I have thought about the symbolism of the tree over the years, as I’m sure many of you have also. It serves as focal point for the family. As my young but very wise friend, Trevor Poole, said to me recently while we were taking a brief respite (very brief, Boss), “It is a time when families interact with each other, without electronics or other distractions. They are together as a family participating in an activity and it is so cool to see that.” It has been our experience at the nursery, that we as a staff, look forward to Christmas tree season for just that reason. We see happy excited families having fun together. A Christmas tree can be a symbol of Christianity, it can be a symbol for family togetherness,
Dan Clost and it can be a symbol for peace and hope. It is a symbol of good and I would pray that each of us take those symbols and turn them into reality.

Gentle Reader, I’d like to chat with you a wee bit about the Christmas tree. One aspect will be along practical lines and the other will briefly, very briefly, look at the holiday vs. the Holy Day. Practical side first because if you mess this one up, you might not have the opportunity to move from your physical reality to the metaphysical realm of philosophy. With proper care, a cut Christmas tree should not pose any danger; however, it is a source of fuel and, as its indoor season progresses, the flammability or ease of catching fire can increase. A properly hydrated tree, one that continues to take in water daily, is not so easily ignited. A lit match will cause green needles to burn but as soon as the flame is removed, the needles selfextinguish; again, if the tree is properly watered. Other test methods of trying to ignite a properly hydrated tree included the use of a blowtorch, a lighter, an electrical arc, and overheated wiring, with the same results. The tree becomes dangerous when it has dried out past the point of being able to take in fresh water. This usually occurs when someone forgets to add water on a regular basis and the stem dries out. At that point, the same tests show that a single match will turn the tree into a flaming torch within seconds with the flames filling the room and coming out the doorway. Anybody in

Floorball Championships games to air on TV Cogeco and online By Stephen Petrick
Belleville – If you can’t make it to the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre to see the Under 19 Girls World Floorball Championships in Belleville next spring, you can still see plenty of the action – both on television and online. TV Cogeco and Loyalist College have struck a deal with the International Floorball Federation to broadcast games. All of Canada’s games will be broad-
cast live by TV Cogeco. The entire tournament will also be live-streamed to the web, thanks to an agreement reached with Loyalist’s media studies department. The championships are being played at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre from May 2 to 8, 2016. The TV Cogeco agreement also allows Canada’s games to be shown to all Cogeco and Rogers affiliate stations. “That opens the door to three million
television subscribers,” said Tim Durkin, the tournament’s media director. “It’s giving exposure for the sponsors and for the growth of game.” The deal was announced at a press conference at Loyalist College on Tuesday, Dec. 8. Media students will be involved with the live-streaming work and some components of the Cogeco broadcasts. Durkin said the agreement is important because the IFF asks that all games at a world championship be
broadcast – especially because there’s a large fan base for floorball in Europe. Durkin said TV Cogeco’s coverage will include, not just games, but feature stories and athlete profiles that can help Canadians just learning about floorball to better understand the game. When Belleville hosts the games, it will mark the first time a floorball world championship has been hosted on this side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Belleville songwriters topping charts Don Murdock and Brian Dolph, both of Belleville, were more than surprised to find out their co-written song, Christmas To Me, had made the Canada Country Aircheck Top 10 list of favourite CANCON Country Christmas songs.
The song flew in under the radar and landed at number three on the list. Rounding out the top three are Doc Walker and Johnny Reid who claimed the number 1 spot. Canadian artists including Jason McCoy, Willie Mack, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Crystal Sha-
Small Business Grant$ 50% Small Of Eligible Costs Business Grant$
wanda, Jessie Farrall, Anita Perras and Brad Johner fill out the Top 10 list. Released commercially in Canada for the 2013 season, Christmas To Me had an immediate and controversial impact. The song asks the question that so many ask during the Christmas season, “Why must everything be politically correct?” Christmas To Me attracted the attention of a number of national news organizations and was featured on the CBC Radio One program The 180. Wherever
articles appeared about the song, comment sections lit up with debate. Christmas To Me has been and is included on the syndicated holiday program, “A Country Christmas,” which has been distributed annually for 27 years to hundreds of radio stations around the world including Canada, the USA and Europe. Each year the song grows in popularity bringing Don Murdock new fans to his brand of honest country.
Durkin said preparations for the tournament are going well and excitement is building among organizers. “Personally, I can’t wait to see it,” he said. “To have (teams from) 16 countries – 400 athletes – calling Belleville and the Quintea area home for a week and a half, it’s incredible.” Canada opens the tournament with a game against Japan on May 4 at 11 a.m. It then has primetime matches at 7:15 p.m. verses Jamaica on May 5 and Germany on May 6.
