News - Campbellford - The pros and cons of the two alternatives for adding a second major river crossing in Campbellford were laid out before the project’s steering committee last Friday, but no decision will be made until after a public meeting is held in January. The committee opted to wait until it receives input from the community before it decides which alternative it prefers. The options are to twin the existing bridge to create three lanes that includes one for left-hand turns, or build a second bridge between Alma and Second streets to handle half of the trafďŹ c that currently goes through the downtown. OfďŹ cials with IBI Group, the Toronto ďŹ rm that’s evaluating the alternatives, said either solution will work quite well in eliminating congestion and long delays crossing the bridge during peak hours, which are expected to get steadily worse over the next 30 years.

But “one is slightly better than the other if you look very far in the future,â€? 40 to 50 years, Don Drackley said, and that’s the Alma-Second connection. Bridge Street “will be under stressâ€? due to the added trafďŹ c it will have to handle in the future. “There could be capacity problems especially with the road itself, not with the bridge,â€? he said. A second crossing 400 metres south of the existing structure offers redundancy in case something were to happen at the existing bridge that would prevent trafďŹ c crossing over. “(That) affects the whole community,â€? Drackley said. Opening up a second corridor will ensure there will always be a means for vehicles to cross the Trent River. It will also make it easier for drivers passing through Campbellford to continue their journey, he said. Drackley also noted the Trent Hills Fire Department prefers a second crossing.

ing made to access roads (Second, Alma, Simpson and Cockburn) to handle increased volumes of trafďŹ c. Committee members and local residents questioned many of the points contained in the consultants’ analysis, particularly claims about the housing that would be lost with the demolition of three buildings downtown and the heritage values attached to the properties. Tom Kerr, president of the Campbellford BIA, said members of the business association “want to keep the status quo,â€? but if merchants downtown are “going to survive today,â€? they have to give people a reason to shop there. “It doesn’t matter which bridgeâ€? alternative is chosen, he said. Judy McLean, a member of the Second Street Ratepayers Association that’s opposed to a bridge being connected to their neighbourhood, presented a petition with 342 names arguing in favour of the twinned bridge solution.

“We certainly agree the best solution for emergency services in this community is having two bridges.� The Second Street bridge option’s pros include not having to remove commercial/ residential buildings or parking spaces in the downtown area while opening up opportunities for residential redevelopment and new businesses. The cons include displacing residential properties and having to close the main bridge for one year while a new bridge is built in its place. The twinned bridge option would leave residential neighbourhoods untouched but require the demolition of much-needed housing units. The two solutions, which both involve replacing the existing bridge when it nears the end of its projected life span in 20 to 30 years, will cost roughly the same: $26.5 million for the twinning option, and $28 million for the Second Street bridge. The latter option will require improvements be-

Cattlemen make generous donation

By Bill Freeman

News – Douro-Dummer – The Peterborough County Cattlemen’s Association has donated a total of $5,000 to two worthy causes presenting $2,500 cheques to the Douro-Dummer FireďŹ ghters’ Association and Camp Oochigeas, a summer camp for children with cancer. The money was raised during the Association’s annual August barbecue at the farm of Darrel and Susan Drain and family. “The success of this year’s barbecue and silent auction allowed the Cattlemen to double their community donation from the previous year,â€? said Cattlemen president Garnet Toms. The Cattlemen served a fullcourse beef dinner to 1,400 people with over 75 volunteers

helping out and 110 sponsors chipping in with donations. “With a donation of this size we will be able to make a purchase the Association would not be able to afford otherwise,â€? said Joe VanderVegt, treasurer of the Douro-Dummer FireďŹ ghter’s Association. “We hope to purchase an item related to farm rescue as a way of thanking the Cattlemen,â€? VanderVegt said. The Cattlemen Association was delighted to be able to assist Camp Oochigeas which has welcomed many local youngsters for a summer break that gives them an opportunity to enjoy a typical camp experience. “Every donation to Camp Oochigeas beneďŹ ts every camper,â€? Toms said. “The camp is a

great way for children with cancer to have fun and enjoy the outdoors.â€? Camp Oochigeas is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2013 and has gone from a weekend camp for 30 children with cancer to a year-round “social support systemâ€? for children, their siblings and families. Along with its 400-acre overnight summer camp in the Muskoka, Oochigeas offers a day camp, Camp Robin Hood, in Markham as well as its program at the Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto and its two-year-old 18,000 square foot “Ooch Downtownâ€? camp on Bathurst Street. It now has the capacity to provide Camp Ooch experiences for 800 children in ďŹ ve different locations.

News - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – A steady stream of area residents dropped into the TEACH (Training Education and Careers, Havelock) Centre last week to pick up gently used winter gear during the annual “Coats for Kids and Grown Ups Too” distribution day. This is the fourth year that the TEACH Centre has partnered with the United Way of Peterborough and District for Coats for Kids and Grown Ups Too with over 200 pieces of winter wear being given away free to the 65 people who dropped in. In the city and county, 1,200 items were distributed this year. Over 60 people visited the Centre within the first hour, said Matthew Martin, a community impact facilitator with the United Way of Peterborough and District. “That’s reflective of the needs in the community,’” Martin said. There were coats of all sizes and colours, from infant and toddler to adults as well as some boots, said Martin. “Winter clothing is terribly expensive and kids grow out of them before they wear them out so it’s a good way to recycle in the community as well as

getting coats to people who need them,” he said. This is the 27th year for Coats for Kids in Peterborough and District. In 2012, the TEACH Centre helped distribute 116 items along with hundreds of hand-knitted toques, mittens and scarves. In the last 10 years, the program has given away almost 13,000 coats to residents in the county and city. “For me it’s really gratifying to see the response of the community for people in need,” said Martin. He’s delighted by the “excellent community partnership” that has developed with Kawartha Hooks and Needles and Mitts for Kids. Families had their pick of a table filled with colourful mitts, toques and scarves and a few sweaters. “They have a number of volunteers who spend the year knitting and dropping hats and mitts to me every month,” he said. “We want to make sure we hit the rural parts of the county,” Martin stressed. “We try to get to as many rural areas as possible within our means.” The response from supporters like the TEACH Centre has “been amazing,” says Martin. “It really is a community-wide effort to support each other.” All the venues used for coat distribution were donated to the United Way. “We’re very grateful for that,” Martin Matthew Martin, community impact facilitator with the United Way of Peterborough and District, was at the TEACH (Training, said. Several drycleaners donated their Education And Careers, Havelock) Centre for the annual Coats for Kids and Grown-ups Too distribution.

News - Havelock – Families in Havelock and Norwood are the big winners thanks to an exceptionally well-organized and well-attended Meet Your Needs Day that received an additional boost from the Community Social Plan (CSP) of Peterborough county and city. Local residents filled Havelock Baptist Church and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Norwood to browse through tables filled with adult and children’s clothing, household linens, shoes, toys and personal hygiene products. The mid-week turnout was a very pleasant surprise, one of the chief organizers, Connie Benjamin of Havelock, said. In the past the local meet your needs days have been held on Saturday but this year, with partnership assistance from the CSP and Kawartha Food Share, the event was held on Wednesday with Havelock Baptist Church hosting a morning session and St. Andrew’s throwing its doors open in the afternoon. “This is the first time that we’ve had a big involvement with the Community Social Plan and Kawartha Food Share,” said Benjamin. “It has helped because … we have new stuff to give away and extra used stuff too. It looks like it is go-

ing to be a good partnership. “It surprised me the amount of people who came on Wednesday, I thought the Saturday event would be larger but this looks like it’s going to work.” Within the first hour Benjamin said they had as many people as they might have accommodated on a full day in past years. “It looks like having it on one day was the right move; I wasn’t sure at first.” Benjamin was a little anxious in the run-up to Meet Your Needs day because donations were initially slow to arrive, but suddenly they “poured in.” “Four or five weeks ago I thought we were not going to have stuff then all of a sudden it was here. It was partly due to the partnership and partly due to the fact that we got the word out.” Promotional support through the Community Social Plan alerted potential

donors, says Benjamin. Donations came from both local supporters and people across the county making contributions to the CSP. “The (Community Social Plan) got the word out that we were looking for people and people in town started bringing stuff in,” says Benjamin. “We were doing quite well on our own but we were able to get the extra stuff that we needed.” The municipality, she added, was kind by allowing them to store items at the community centre. Benjamin and her volunteers met with Community Social Plan representatives in the spring to start planning the event. Last year the CSP visited Havelock’s event “just to see how things were going” and brought some items from Kawartha Food Share. Benjamin says she hopes to be able to host another event in January.

News - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Township council is upset at a nearly 17 per cent jump in winter maintenance costs for the 1.9 kilometre “connecting link” section of Hwy. 7 the municipality is responsible for. “I can’t believe the 16.71 per cent,” Coun. Barry Pomeroy said. “They had the figures from last year. It is not being fair to the township.” The Ministry of Transportation has struck an Area Maintenance Contract (AMC) with Carillion Canada Inc. In the past the township has used the AMC contractor to provide maintenance along the connecting link, maintenance that meets the provincial MTO’s standard for that class of highway. Negotiations with Carillion produced a $22,000 one-season contract up from the $18,500 paid to Cruikshank last year, said director of public works Brian McMillan. “We’ll try for savings in the 2014 budget to meet the shortfall,” McMillan said. Mayor Ron Gerow said in the past the township has asked that “our piece be the same (cost per kilometre) as the rest of the winter contract for Hwy. 7. “We were totally refused,” Gerow said. Gerow said the municipality was told they “have to go on their own” and negotiate and make its own provisions “but you must meet the specifications set out in the agreement. They’ve kind of got us.” “Here we are being held hostage on winter maintenance cost,” he said. “It sure doesn’t cost us at the county $22,000 for one mile. It’s a hi-jack situation.” Councillors Pomeroy and Larry Ellis asked McMillan if it would be possible for the municipality to do its own maintenance along the connecting link. “I can’t believe we couldn’t maintain that piece of road up to the standard (given how well the township maintains its own roads),” said Ellis. McMillan said the township probably could care for the stretch of highway, but the cost would be high in terms of time and staffing because the link would have to be maintained to a level of standard expected for the Trans-Canada Highway. “The piece of equipment they use will pretty much do both lanes when

Dear Editor, I was reading one of my regular trucking magazine reads this week when a subject being covered refreshed my memory regarding a recent event I had experienced. The topic was under safety and was entitled, “2 wheels vs.18. Who wins?� Clearly the subject dealt with the operation of bicycles, primarily in cities, and the unfortunate events that occur when large trucks and cyclists collide. It discusses an initiative/campaign being undertaken by the Share The Road Cycling Coalition. While I won’t go into detail on the topic, it primarily involves educating cyclists about the inherent dangers of riding around trucks. Especially alongside/ up into the blind spot on the right side of a truck while they are making right turns (cars, you are guilty of this too). Anyone who is interested in reading about the topic, it can be found in the November issue of Today’s Trucking. Now here’s my issue. A few weeks ago, while proceeding to make a right turn from Highway 62 South in Madoc, onto St. Lawrence Street West, I came very close to striking/ having a cyclist strike my vehicle. Anyone who comes to this intersection knows how limited visibility is in both directions, but much worse to the west where the building (old bakery) on the northwest corner comes out to the sidewalk. After sticking my vehicle’s nose out far enough

to see as well as possible and after conďŹ rming that it was safe to turn right, I checked to my right again to make sure there weren’t any pedestrians entering/about to enter the sidewalk. I had just started moving when a cyclist entered the intersection immediately in front of my vehicle from my right side. Clearly the cyclist had been riding on the wrong side of the road and owing to vehicles legally parked on the north shoulder of St. Lawrence Street, I was unable to see them. I must admit that a vehicle which had slowed considerably before making their left turn from St. Lawrence Street East to Highway 62 North caught my attention, since there didn’t appear to be any logical reason for their behaviour. Clearly there was, since they didn’t want to run over this same cyclist while making their left turn. As a former professional Class “Aâ€? driver for close to 15 years and the former director of safety with a local transportation company for 15 years, I believe I have a fair grasp of what is considered safe vehicle operation. I’ll admit though that I am not perfect and have made a few mistakes over my driving career. From my limited observations though, it is quite clear that many cyclists do not treat a bicycle as a vehicle. They believe that the rules of the road do not

apply to them. They can ride on sidewalks (and Lord knows, I can understand why they want to ride there) and sometimes ride facing trafďŹ c (like pedestrians). The problem is vehicle operators expect pedestrians to use the sidewalk and cyclists to use the roadway, while adhering to regulations like every other vehicle that is bound by the Highway TrafďŹ c Act. Clearly many cyclists either need to take a formal test to ensure that they know their responsibilities, or parents and enforcement personnel need to do a much better job of educating cyclists. Cyclists, you have a responsibility! And just to be clear, the cyclist that crossed my path was not a child, has a driver’s licence (I’ve seen them driving) and probably is as old as I am. They likely don’t need to be educated about how to drive a vehicle, but clearly they need to realize they ARE operating one. When cycling, they need to follow the same rules they do when driving an automobile. I may not have been driving an 18(+) wheeler that day, but I do know who would have won the contest. They weren’t wearing a helmet to protect their head! So cyclists, polish up on the rules of the road! It may save your life and/or those of your children! Jamie Lahey “Old Whiny Vehicle Operatorâ€?

Dear Editor, My wife was recently training to be a crossing guard at the Hastings Public School. She had parked her car at the Trinity Unity Church near the front entrance on Front at Bridge Streets. While at home I received a phone call from a gentleman explaining to me that he noticed a youth carrying a wallet and going through it. He watched and then noticed this person shove the wallet in a culvert. My wife thought she had locked all the doors, however the driver’s door was where he entered, ried through the glove box where the wallet was and took it. The person who retrieved it got an excellent description of the thief which will be forwarded to the OPP. Too bad for the wayward waif there was no cash in the wallet. It appears he only took one credit card from the wallet. I hope he tries to use it. Gene Hamelin, Hastings

Chinese demographics

Editorial - The big news of the week is that China’s one-child policy is being relaxed. After 34 years when most Chinese families were officially limited to only one child, most couples will now be allowed to have two children. The reality, however, is that it will make very little difference. It will make little difference because only about one-third of Chinese couples were still living under those restrictions Gwynne Dyer anyway. The one-child limit never applied to ethnic minorities, and in the past fifteen years it has rarely applied to people living in rural areas either: couples whose first child was a girl are almost always allowed to have a second child (in the hope that it will be a boy). Controls were stricter in the cities, but if both prospective parents were only children themselves they were exempt from the limit. And people with enough money can just ignore the rules: the penalty for having a second child is just a stiff fine up front and the extra cost of raising a child who is not entitled to free education. (The fines are reported to have raised $2.12 billion for the state coffers last year alone.) The net result of all this is that the China’s current fertility rate (the average number of children a woman will bear in a lifetime) is not 1.0, as it would be if there were a really strict one-child policy. According to United Nations statistics, it is 1.55, about the same as Canada. Which suggests that most Chinese who really wanted a second child got one. The new rules that have just been announced by the Third Plenum of the Communist Party say that urban people can now have a legal second child if just one of the would-be parents was an only child. This is not going to unleash a wave of extra babies; it will raise the fertility rate, at most, to 1.6. (“Replacement” level is 2.1.) Indeed, it’s questionable whether the one-child policy really held down China’s birth rate at all. There are demographers who argue that the one-child policy hasn’t really made much difference. China was already urbanising fast when the policy was imposed in 1979, and the more urban a country is, the lower the birth rate. From about 1970 there was also a very aggressive birth control policy. The fertility rate in China had already dropped from 5.8 children per woman in 1970 to only 2.7 in 1978, the year before the one-child rule was introduced. It has since fallen to 1.55, but that might well have happened anyway. For com-

parison, Brazil’s fertility rate has dropped from 6.0 fifty years ago to 1.7 now WITHOUT a one-child policy. China’s National Population and Family Planning Commission claims that the one-child policy has spared the country an extra 400 million mouths to feed, but it would say that, wouldn’t it? The real number of births avoided by that policy is probably no more than 100 million in three decades. And if we accept these numbers, then three major conclusions follow. The first is that the one-child policy is not the major culprit in China’s disastrous gender imbalance, with at least 120 boys born for every 100 girls. The social effects of this are very dangerous: by the end of this decade there will be 24 million “leftover” men who will never find a wife. Any sane government would be terrified by the prospect of a huge army of unattached and dissatisfied young men hanging around the streets after work with nothing much to do. A regime with as little legitimacy as the Communists will be even more frightened by it. Unfortunately for them, ending the one-child policy will have little effect on this pattern. Only state intervention as arbitrary and intrusive as the one-child policy could reverse the gender imbalance, and it is doubtful that the Communist regime is still confident enough to risk that degree of unpopularity. The second conclusion we can draw from these statistics is that China’s population is going to drop whether the regime wants it or not. It will peak at or below 1.4 billion, possibly as soon as 2017, and then begin a long decline that will see it fall to 1.2 billion by 2050. There’s nothing wrong with that in principle, but it exacerbates what is already the greatest threat to economic growth in China: the population’s rapidly rising average age. The big, old generations will be around for a long time, but the younger generations are getting smaller very fast. Indeed, the number of people in the 20-24 age group in China will halve in the next ten years. This means the dependency rate is going to skyrocket. In 1975, there were 7.7 people in the workforce for every person over sixty: by 2050, the ratio will be only 1.6 employed persons for every retiree. No country has ever had to bear such a burden before, but ending the one-child policy won’t get the birth rate back up. The only way China could increase its workforce to lessen the burden is to open up the country to mass immigration. And what are the odds on that?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Say no to Internet censorship Dear Editor, Canadian government officials are working with those from 11 other nations to finalize the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). I am very concerned about the TPP, which is currently being negotiated without public input. We know from documents revealed by Wikileaks that the TPP includes an Internet censorship plan that would make the Internet more policed, expensive and censored. Experts have pointed out that under the TPP, “kids could be sent to jail for downloading” and whole families could be kicked off the Internet. It would force Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to become Internet police and monitor my Internet use, censor website content, and remove entire websites from my view. It would also hinder our ability to access information and criminalize our every day use of the Internet. As a concerned citizen, I am speaking out for a free and open Internet. The TPP would also limit accessibility for disabled people. Visually impaired or deaf people would be criminal-

ized for circumventing digital locks on any digital materials they have purchased. This means they would be unable to convert them to braille, audio, or other accessible formats. I believe that the Internet should be open and accessible to everyone. In addition, the TPP’s proposal to force ISPs to install costly and invasive surveillance equipment into their networks gravely worries me. These added costs would drive up everyone’s Internet bills and could force smaller independent Internet providers out of business. I believe that Internet access is a right and should be kept open and affordable for everyone. Already over 120,000 have signed the Say No to Internet Censorship petition.

And now back to our regular programming By Terry Bush

Editorial - One might almost get the impression that Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is one of the most important people in the world given all the coverage he’s received over the past couple of weeks. Rob Ford still wants to be Prime Minister of Canada according to a headline on Monday. Chances are pretty slim that Ford will ever sit in Parliament unless he moves to Alberta. We would hope Canadians are a little smarter than that. It’s really too bad for the Fords that they weren’t born in the United States. Washington Mayor Marion Barry smoked crack and was re-elected mayor after a vacation in custody and is still on Washington city council. If someone ever deserved to be quickly relegated to the dustbin of history after one term in office, it was George W Bush, but Americans inexplicably re-elected him despite the lies and deception that cost trillions and close to a million lives by some accounts. So despite the fact that Mayor Rob Ford has appeared on pretty well every top ten list on late night television in the past week, there really are more important things going on in the world. The ongoing negotiations between the permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany and Iran has to rank somewhere near the top of current world events. After all, a little goodwill shown towards Iran would go a long way towards restoring some semblance of peace in the Middle East especially in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon where Iran has influence. That would be beneficial to the whole world. But what’s going on behind the scenes is a little disturbing. Both the United States’ intelligence community and Israel’s intelligence community have stated that to the best of their knowledge, Iran isn’t pursuing nuclear weapons. International inspectors on the ground say all nuclear material in Iran has been accounted for and nothing has been diverted to a nuclear weapons program. Construction of nuclear facilities in Iran has almost completely shut down. Yet, despite the assurances of their intelligence agencies, politicians in both countries continue to say that Iran is building a bomb. Israel has been saying Iran is six months away from a bomb for almost 20 years so obviously that record will never stop skipping. What has happened since Iranians elected a new president has been a complete about face when it comes to dealing with the west. So if Iranian President Rouhani is pushing for engagement and willing to put his neck on the line to get an agreement with the security council concerning Iran’s nuclear energy program, does anyone think for a moment that the Grand Ayatollah who actually runs the country isn’t on board. Wouldn’t a deal that opens up the country’s nuclear plants to even more intense scrutiny than is required as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty be a good thing? Not according to Saudi Arabia and Israel who have pulled out all the stops to quash any deal with Iran. In fact a deal was almost done last week until the French pulled a fast one changing the language in the agreement and adding conditions at the last minute. It should surprise no one that huge deal involving France selling more arms to the Saudis put the kibosh on that one. That and a phone call from the Israeli Prime Minister. The Saudis, a regime not shy about backing terrorists as long as they’re of the Sunni variety, will never support any deal involving Shiite Iran, its regional rival. A poor, disabled Iran is just what the doctor ordered. Israel for its part has been relentless in trying to block any deal that may come out of these meetings. They say they won’t abide by it. They’ve done their best to control US lawmakers through calls and lobbying, utilizing their powerful lobby group AIPAC to once again strike fear in the hearts of incumbents seeking re-election. Members of the US congress are drawing up even more sanctions despite Iran’s overtures and many vow to block any deal Obama’s team might make. Israel has also been lobbying countries on the Security Council to make sure no deal gets done. The problem is, if a deal, even an interim deal is completed with Iran, then Israel’s settlement of the West Bank and East Jerusalem will come to the forefront of world news and there’s no way a right wing government in Israel which depends on settlers’ support could let that happen. Israel, despite its many advantages including having a big brother with a big stick in the USA, doesn’t want any competition in the region either. The fact that Israel has nuclear weapons, chemical weapons and biological weapons in its arsenal never seems to come up unless you’re talking to its neighbours. So once again we have politicians looking out for basically themselves and the arms industry despite the objections of their constituents. French President Francois Allende has the lowest approval rating of any French president since 1958 yet sees no reason to listen to the public. The US Congress has an approval rating of around ten percent these days, a rating that might suggest their constituents don’t have any use for them or how they’re representing American interests. The American people are starting to wake up to the abuses of their government, congress and the senate. People power stopped the US bombing of Syria in its tracks. Sixty-six percent of Americans think a deal with Iran is in their best interests. It might just be time politicians around the world started listening to the people who elected them. That would be a pleasant change.

Decline in food bank client numbers ‘a good sign’ News - Warkworth - There was good news on two fronts at the annual meeting of the Campbellford and Warkworth Fare Share Food Bank Nov. 13. The organization is serving fewer people than it did in 2012, and it finished its fiscal year with a surplus, and not a deficit as had happened the previous two years. Secretary Thea Dunk said the decline in the number of clients from 1,769 to 1,318 between November 1, 2012 and October 31, 2013 was “a good sign,” a view shared by Fare Share’s new vicepresident Gary Raine. He said having 25 per cent fewer people use the food bank’s services should be seen as “success.” President Lillian Adams said afterward the numbers, which included a decline in Fare Share’s client families,

from 369 to 239, made her feel good “because when we opened it was supposed to be a temporary thing, and that was 20 years ago.” Dunk said clients “might have moved, maybe they got a job (or their) circumstances have changed,” when asked to explain why fewer people are using the food bank now than a year ago. It also explains in part why the food bank did better financially as well. “This year we brought in $6,000 more than we spent, which is really good,” treasurer Bruce Dunk said. Fare Share collected $34,966 in revenue, largely as the result of donations and grants, and it spent $28,947, with the two largest expenditures being for groceries ($11,400) and rent at its Doxsee Avenue location ($4,800).

“Our community is extremely, extremely generous,” Adams said . “I’m just overwhelmed.” The food bank also received $2,000 from the Ontario Association of Food Banks (OAFB) for the purchase of fruit juice boxes, $1,400 from Neighbour Link to buy eggs, and $812 from the Campbellford-Seymour Community Foundation to replace its refrigerator. Bruce Dunk said a Fare Share supporter has volunteered to make monthly donations through the automatic transfer of funds from a bank account. “It’s a first for us and something I think will work wonderfully,” he said. Fare Share was forced to change its practice last year when it told frequent users of the food bank they couldn’t get groceries more than twice a month. “We got to a point where we were

Lillian Adams, president of Campbellford and Warkworth Fare Share Food Bank, presented a certificate of appreciation to Roger Brummell for all his hard work during his 11 years on the executive. “I’ve enjoyed every minute of it even though ... the need bothers me,” Brummell said. He decided to retire because his health “isn’t the best” but he told board members he would “be available whenever you need me.” Adams also offered her personal thanks to the “super group” of 15 volunteers who work at the food bank.

financially not in a good position,” Dunk said. “People were coming every week,” and the food bank isn’t there to feed people on an ongoing basis, it’s “there to tie them over.” The food bank still occasionally gets people coming a third time in a month and while they’re not turned away, they receive less than is normally provided, Dunk said. “It has helped, it has brought down the client’s numbers, and helped how

News - Warkworth – The fourth Warkworth Health and Wellness Fair wasn’t just about selling things that make people in general feel better. It also had to do with helping one family in particular, Chris and Krista Gutteridge and their three children. “(Chris) has some serious health issues that has put him into the hospital for quite an amount of time ... so things are really tight with them ďŹ nancially,â€? said fair organizer Cherie Whalen. All proceeds from the Nov. 16 event at the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts were to go to family, as were the proceeds raised at a Legion dance that night organized by Whalen’s husband, Jake. “It’s great to be able to come out here and support not only health and wellness but mostly (the Gutteridges),â€? said Cait Lynch, a personal trainer, yoga and Pilates instructor participating in her ďŹ rst fair. “Coming into the holidays (they) will need some extra help.â€? Whalen, an independent consultant associated with Arbonne, a maker of personal care and wellness products, started the fair to make people aware of the options that exist within the health and wellness industry. But she has always made a point of directing proceeds to a worthwhile cause each time it’s held. Sixteen vendors set up at the centre, offering an array of goods and services that include Reiki, reexology, massage therapy and skin care products. It was a new experience for Lynch, who has operated her Warkwortharea CustomFit business for 10 years, offering 15 classes a week in yoga, Pilates and high intensity, interval training in a renovated century-old barn. Her clients range from 10 years old to 70-plus. “We have something for everyone,â€? she said. “We are big into technique and safety (and) focused on educating our

Busy knitters bring smiles to youngsters By Bill Freeman

Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – News - Hundreds of youngster will sport cozy, colourful, one-of-a-kind toques, scarves and mittens this winter thanks to a tireless group of volunteers who transform wool into warm wonders. The volunteers with Mitts for Kids and the Kawartha Hooks and Needles are the truly good Samaritans of winter making over 1,000 scarves, mittens and hats which were distributed last week in the city and county as part of the United Way of Peterborough and District’s annual Coats for

Kids campaign. “I think it’s neat,” says long-time Mitts for Kids volunteer Linda Chopping of Havelock. “You see the little kids putting on the mitts and being happy that they are seeing a colour they like or something that goes with their coat. It is rewarding.” Chopping was at the TEACH (Training, Education And Careers Havelock) Centre last week with hundreds of hand-knitted items for youngsters and their families who dropped into the George Street facility to select winter coats. Leftover knitted items will

be given to local elementary schools. There are 30 volunteers with Mitts for Kids and another 20 to 25 with the Kawartha Hooks and Needles and they knit “all year long.” Three of the volunteers are from Havelock-Belmont-Methuen. “We’re quite busy; we do a lot of knitting,” Chopping says. There’s nothing like hand-knitted mitts, she stresses. “They’re warm and every pattern here is different; every pair is different. This makes it all worthwhile,” she said as children picked out items from a table behind her. The wool is entirely donated with generous supporters dropping off supplies at the TEACH Centre and Havelock Community Care. “When we get enough wool I distribute it to the volunteers. We could always use wool.” The donations make it possible for people like Chopping to knit winter gear for area children. “I don’t have to go running out to buy wool because it is all provided. I can knit and not worry about the cost of buying a lot of wool.” Linda Chopping of Havelock and a volunteer with Mitts for Kids was at the Training, Education And Careers Havelock (TEACH) Centre last week with hundreds of donated mittens, scarves and toques as part of the United Way of Peterborough and District’s annual Coats for Kids distribution.

going to stand up for them,” said Dustin Vink, a Grade 4/5 student. He and his classmates participated in a project initiated by local songwriting duo Andrew Queen and Karen Stille, during national Bullying Awareness Week (November 18 to 22). The couple wanted to share their message that each person has the power to “be the one” to help put a stop to bullying. Known as The Campfire Crew, the duo travelled to eight different schools in the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board performing their interactive musical concert. “As a school teacher I often see and hear about bullying behaviour. We are trying to use music to teach children how to notice when other kids are feeling left out, hurt, or victimized and how to step up and help them out,” Queen told the Trent Hills Independent. “Our concerts are designed to promote empathy and to help kids build the confidence they need to get someone away from a difficult situation or to make them feel included.” For Halley Marsh, Grade 4/5 at Kent: “I learned that if you bully you can really hurt anyone around you and you will have no friends ever and people will not want to be around you. And it is kind of harsh to see someone bullied.” Participating schools were provided with a comprehensive resource package

News - Warkworth - Nature’s bounty proved too much of a good thing this year for the Campbellford and Warkworth Fare Share Food Bank. Vegetables grown at a community garden by a team of volunteers led by Brenda Morrison produced more than users of the food bank apparently wanted. Much of the produce, such as squash and zucchini, didn’t get taken. Morrison said she would evaluate the program next spring to decide whether or not to continue with it. “It’s a lot of work (but if) people aren’t interested in what’s grown ...” she said. “I enjoy doing it, the volunteers are very good, but it’s kind of dishearten-

drawing of what it means ‘to have a pebble in your belly’ and creating a sign that contained a kind word or phrase,” she commented. The pebble-in-your-belly comment was in reference to a lyric in the song. The song was integrated into drama class when the students created skits showing a bystander coming to the victim’s rescue, which Stille used in the video. Finally, the last stanza of the song was rehearsed, memorized and performed by the students for the recording. “This experience has been a meaningful and worthwhile en-

deavor. The students and I are moved by the song. Participating in this project has led to several restorative circles, where students have an opportunity to express their feelings in a safe and supportive environment.

ing.” Morrison said she and her 40 volunteers grew carrots, beets, beans, squash, zucchini, Swiss chard and cucumbers on a small plot of land on Doxsee Avenue that Newman Oliver and McCarten Insurance Brokers Ltd. provided at no cost. “I’ve still got squash and beets in our garage,” she said. Three churches – Stanwood, English Line and Hoards Station – donated seeds and Canadian Tire donated 48 tomato plants. On some weeks she was able to sell excess produce to local restaurants and turn the revenue over to the food bank. The first year she was in charge of the community garden, she won every category she en-

tered vegetables in at the Campbellford Fair. The work “is rewarding,” Morrison said, but she wonders if it’s worth the effort “if people aren’t going to take some of the stuff.” In the end, however, Morrison believes she’ll “probably do it another year ... because the volunteers quite enjoy getting together,” and there are enough people involved they need to “only work an hour at a time.” Morrison was receptive to the idea presented her that surplus produce be turned over to the community kitchens and cooking classes that have started in the area. “I just don’t like to see it go to waste,” she said.

Staff will “refine� donation policy By Bill Freeman

News - Asphodel-Norwood - Township council has asked staff to further refine a prospective donation policy before giving it the nod. “It’s always good to have a policy for the direction of staff,� Chief Administrative Officer Joe van Koeverden told council during its regular meeting. The township has historically made cash donations of around $700 each year, a figure that has been included as a line item in its municipal budget, treasurer Melanie Stubbs said in a report. In 2013, council approved $100 donations each to the Norwood District Figure Skating Club and the Peterborough County Plowman’s Association; it also

became a bronze sponsor of the Indian River Reptile Zoo at a cost of $508. Coun. Rick Kloosterman argued that those three figures fell into the area of advertising rather than as a straight donation. “Is this policy going to eliminate this?� asked mayor Doug Pearcy. “Are we going to fight every time we want to give $100 to the Plowman’s Association?� The Plowman’s Association is “very reliant on municipal dollars,� Pearcy said. “Is that a good thing or not? This council, like most, has deemed it a good thing.� He said their sponsorship of the Reptile Zoo was a decision based on the im-

portance of the facility as an important local tourism destination. That, Pearcy said, “has proven true. It’s a great local tourism venture. It’s attracting lots of tourists, publicity and people to come to our township.� “Why do we need this?� Pearcy wondered of a donation policy. Coun. Roy Millett said having a defined policy would allow staff to advise groups or individuals soliciting funding. “Instead of letting someone come to council they could say “here is our policy,’� Millett said. “When I talked about donations I talked about cash donations, not relieving the rent for a building for a worthwhile cause. It’s cash strictly cash

dollars paying out to people or organizations that I am against.� Pearcy noted that the proposed policy was clear and that council “will consider each case on its merits.� A policy that eliminates that option is too restrictive, he maintained. “I just don’t think you need a policy like this.� The township could still participate in an advertising campaign, like that with the Reptile Zoo, and not stray from a donation policy, van Koeverden said. “If we’re buying a spot in a brochure, that doesn’t change,� he said. “My understanding is that we’re trying to eliminate handing out cheques for $100.�

“If council is not planning to make monetary donations in the future (the) budget amount could be removed entirely or re-allocated to assist in promoting the township through various publications and media,� Stubbs added. “I would prefer if we had a relatively plain statement,� said Coun. Mary Hay. She favours a policy that very clearly says the township is only prepared to provide non-monetary resources like municipal services, facilities and equipment to an organization or cause. Under the proposed policy a donation is defined as “any direct provision of township services, facilities or equipment that is not eligible for assistance under any other program.�

CDHS Social Justice League to hold “homeless night� event By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - Superheroes walk the hallways of Campbellford District High School in the form of the Social Justice League, a new group set up to combat urgent social issues. Neither the Caped Crusader Batman nor Spiderman can outshine this league of students that has decided to make poverty and homelessness the focus of its ďŹ rst project. It all began when Trinity College School in Port Hope and the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit teamed up in October to bring together local high school students to discuss the issues of poverty and homelessness in Northumberland County. Close to 90 students, who are members of social justice groups from schools in Port Hope, Cobourg, Campbellford

and Brighton, shared their ideas on what young people can do to ďŹ ght poverty in this area. Ten students from CDHS attended. “We came back and decided we were going to tackle this social concern directly right here in Trent Hills,â€? said Trish Wood, guidance facilitator at CDHS. The students watched the ďŹ lm Inocente, an Academy Award winning documentary that chronicles the life of 15-year-old Inocente, who uses art as a means of overcoming the bleakness of her impoverished life. “The movie showed us that you can’t really judge a book by its cover . . . it was a really important workshop,â€? said Faith Begbie, one of the students who attended. For Eva Osterlee, another student who was there, the event was a source of in-

spiration. “We got to go into groups with different kids from different schools and I just found it really helpful because we were bouncing ideas off of each other,â€? she said. “So we got to talk about different stuff and so one of the things that was brought up was the “homeless nightâ€? so we just kind of took that and decided that was the thing we wanted to pursue at our school.â€? “Cold Hands, Warm Heartsâ€? is the ďŹ rst project of the CDHS Social Justice League. “It is a way to give back to the community and show it is something we need to address. It’s not hard to do and it’s not something we should shy away from,â€? said Raven Farrow, a student with the League. “So to be able to participate we’re asking students to make pledges to raise a minimum of $20 or to bring 20 items of food or winter clothing - sweaters, old jackets, hats or scarves - so we can donate back to our local food bank and the Salvation Army and kind of give back to our community,â€? Begbie explained. The League is hoping to have about 50 students at their homeless night. “We are trying to improve awareness of the social issue,â€? said Wood. “We are going to try to experience what it would be like on a November evening without a place to be that is warm and secure . . . to be homeless,â€? she added. The homeless night takes place Thursday, Nov. 28 from 4 p.m. to midnight at the parkette at the corner of Bridge Street East and Front Street North in Campbellford. Student buskers will be providing entertainment. Community members can drop off non-perishable food items or clothing that night or take them to the high school. Perhaps Osterlee summed it up best: “Everyone is a superhero you don’t need a cape or a mask.â€?

“Three different people in the last week and a half have commented on it.â€? Coun. Barry Pomeroy noted that on the same evening that councillors voiced concerns about the cost of winter maintenance along the 1.9-kilometer “connecting linkâ€? they were also talking about overnight parking by huge trucks. Pomeroy also worries about the damage to pavement caused by the oversized loads. “This is just not meant to carry the big loads,â€? he said. “People are concerned for various reasons.â€? Gerow said the rigs are deďŹ nitely being stored there because lights and cones are being used overnight to indicate their presence. “That was just not the intention of the park,â€? he said. “The agreement we have with the Lions is to promote people stopping here and utilizing our park but not for over-weekend hauls.â€? Council asked superintendent of public works Brian McMillan to investigate the issue and offer recommendations on addressing the issue. McMillan said he would start with the Ministry of Transportation and to see what special provisions are outlined in the special licences the wind turbine haulers must have.

Overnight wind turbine rigs irk council

News - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen The paved parking area next to Lions Millennium Park on the south side of Hwy. 7 was not intended to be an overnight stopping ground for huge wind turbine rigs, township council says. “They’re not just stopping there to buy things at Mac’s Convenience,â€? deputy mayor Andy Sharpe told council. “They’re unloading their truck(s) here on Friday night and they’re sitting by Lions Park.â€? The deputy mayor says a number of residents have talked to him about the growing overnight presence of the large wind turbine rigs. Mayor Ron Gerow also said he’s ďŹ elded the same sort of questions from township residents. Sharpe says the trucks are stopped in town from Friday to Monday. “It’s happening more and more and more all the time, their loads and trucks are being left there,â€? he said. “I don’t think that was the intent when we paved that and developed that park.â€? Sharpe says people who enjoy walking along the park lose some of the en&RQFUHWH joyment because the oversized trucks have parked in that area. )ORRUV “Parking these large trucks along there for days on end was deďŹ nitely not ,QF the intention (of the Lions or municipality),â€? said Sharpe.

“The best way to prevent the flu is to be immunized every year,� says the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit. “Studies have shown that the flu shot can prevent up to 80 per cent of influenza cases in healthy adults and children�; in older adults, it can prevent or reduce complications and hospitalizations. The health unit organized eight free flu vaccination clinics in Northumberland County, including one at Evangel Pentecostal Church in Brighton November 16, where Hilary Groves was immunized by vaccinator Edit Danilko. The last clinic will take place this Saturday, November 23, at Campbellford Baptist Church, between 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Photo: John Campbell

Cup Hockey Senior AAA action Sunday at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre. The short-staffed Whalers, in their second ACH campaign, refused to bend to the more experienced Vipers in a highly entertaining game that had both teams

trading opportunities and goals until Norwood took a 6-4 secondperiod lead and seemed primed to skate out the game. Norwood outshot Welland 5049 with Vipers goalie Claydon Edwards and Whalers goalie Rick Miller earning star turns for their

work between the pipes. Edwards was particularly strong during a Norwood penalty kill in overtime and Miller turned aside several tricky shots late in the game to keep his team alive. “We knew they were quick. They are getting better and bet-

Norwood withstood a late-game penalty and another in overtime before taking over late in the extra frame but Miller kept the puck out of his net until Jones’ shot found its way through a screen of players. “They’re a young team with speed,â€?

We let them back in.â€? Welland took an early 1-0 lead on a blast by Chris Downey but Norwood evened things four minutes later during a four on four with returnee Mike Madgett ďŹ nishing off a nice three-way passing play from Darren Doherty and Free. Welland moved in front 2-1 at the 9:30 mark of the ďŹ rst period with Drake Lynd beating Edwards. Goals by Colby Andrews and Free 1:47 apart gave Norwood a 3-2 lead heading into the second period. Joe Forte notched the score at 3-3 just 2:21 into the second after corralling a bouncing rebound but Andrews struck for the second time two minutes later to reclaim Norwood’s lead. Welland’s Drew Minor tied the score again at 4-4.

SPORTS

Rebels upend powerhouse Pirates in overtime Sports - Campbellford - Give the Campbellford Rebels credit: After losing three Empire B Junior C Hockey League games a row, including one against the cellar-dwelling Deseronto Storm, the team accomplished Saturday what few have done this season – defeat the Picton Pirates, the province’s reigning Junior C hockey champions. It could have easily turned into a heartbreaking defeat Nov. 15. Campbellford led 1-0 on a power play goal by Andy Paul only to give up the tying goal at 18:37 of the third period. But Cole Hamilton sent Rebel fans

home happy by scoring the winning goal 1:15 into overtime. Cole Mahoney was stellar in the Campbellford goal turning aside 41 shots. His mates fired 31 at Picton netminder Adam Wood. It was only the second loss of the season for the Pirates, who have won 16 of their last 18 games. Their most recent win came at the expense of the Rebels on Nov. 14; a 3-1 win at home. Brian Bunnett scored a pair for the victors and Ryan Sizer notched the winner. Paul had an unassisted goal in the second period for the Rebels, who sit one point behind the third-place Port Hope Panthers.

The unthinkable happened Nov. 9 when the Rebels blew a three-goal third period lead to the lowly Storm, winner of exactly one game all season, and then lost the game 7-6 in overtime. Deseronto had been outscored 12027 in its previous 15 contests. And Campbellford had won its last two games against the Storm by scores of 12-1 and 10-1 after taking the first encounter with a narrow 5-4 victory. It appeared another rout was in the making when the Rebels built a 3-0 lead on a pair of goals by Jeremiah Doherty and one by Mitchell Merry. Nick Ferguson cut the lead to 3-2

with two goals in 41 seconds for the visitors early in the second. Campbellford rebuilt its three-goal cushion when Doherty collected his hat trick goal and Paul chimed in with a pair, while Chris Rogalsky replied for Deseronto. But the roof fell in when the Storm erased the lead with three goals, by Devim MacLean, Jared Boomhower and Brandon Turner, in less than six minutes after the 11:00 minute mark in the third period. Boomhower ended a miserable night by the hosts by scoring the winner with 20 seconds left in overtime. Campbellford lost despite out-

Midget Hornets off to quick start By Bill Freeman

Sports - Asphodel-Norwood – The Norwood J.J. Stewart Motors Midget Hornets are off to a quick start this season posting a 9-3-0 record out of the blocks. “This year’s team is a good balance of offense and defence (and) are working hard to surpass their OMHA semifinal exist of last season,” coach Larry Wrightly says.

The defense has been stingy allowing just 19 goals in 12 games thanks to tough goaltending by Travis Stark and rookie stopper Michael Elliot, on loan from the Midget AE’s, and solid blue line work by co-captain Travis Bennett and veterans Daniel Bennett, Braden Thompson and Mitch Barr and rookies Dylan Finlay and Mitch Bell. The offense has been on

fire, notching 69 goals, and has plenty of experience down the middle with co-captain Ethan McDougall, Christian Lachapelle and Karn Dart, returning from Peterborough Minor AAA, along with wingers Jake Bennett, Alex Barrett and Zander Buchanan. Rookie wingers Hayden Leeper, Rodney Fleming, Logan Booth and Bret Smale add extra strength on the wings. The team reached the championship final of their own tourney defeating last year’s OMHA C champion Blyth- Brussels Crusaders 3-1 in the semifinal then losing 4-0 to the Douro Dukes. They went undefeated in round robin play. The Hornets will travel to Pembroke November 30 to December 2 for

the International Silver Stick regional qualifying tourney where they expect to face their stiffest test yet and hope to return with a Silver Stick banner. Coach Wrightly says the team would like to thank the community for cheering them on during their Saturday night home games as well as for their support at their fundraising bottle drive. “These young men provide a very entertaining brand of fast-paced hardhitting hockey at home on Saturday nights at 8 p.m.,” said Wrightly. The team hosts Tweed November 23. The team’s complete schedule is posted on the Norwood District Minor Sports website, www.ndms.ca .

shooting the visitors 51-24, scoring twice on the power play, and not being penalized. Ryan Crowley collected three assists while Jordan Boutilier and Steven Clarke earned two apiece. The team might have been suffering from the after-shock of a 5-a loss in Port Hope the night before when Merry was the lone Rebel to put a shot past Panther netminder Branson Schell. Port Hope and Campbellford have a home-and-home series this weekend, with the second match to take place in Campbellford Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

The saw-off was the Hornets sixth tie of the young season. Norwood held a 2-0 lead early in the second period on goals by Nolan Beamish and Hayden Baptie before Otonabee erased the shutout. Baptie’s second goal of the game with 5:33 left in the second reclaimed the team’s two-goal lead. The Wolves were able to even the score with two goals in the third.

Empire Cheese reserve grand champion at Royal Winter Fair

By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills – Empire Cheese rules! The Campbellford-area farmers cooperative collected a pair of firsts at the Royal Winter Fair for its mild and extra mature cheddar cheese. It also collected two seconds (medium and extra mild), two thirds (marble and Stilton shaped cheddar), and was named reserve grand champion (mild cheddar). “I’m happy, it looks good (for) a small cheese manufacturer to do well against the big guys,” said Empire’s head cheese maker, Mark Erwin. Winning is nothing new for Erwin, who’s garnered numerous ribbons in 30 years of making cheese, including Mark Erwin, head cheese maker at Empire Cheese, displays the mild and extra mature cheddar entries that collected red ribbons at the Royal Winter Fair during the last six years that he’s been Nov. 1-10 in Toronto. The farmers’ cooperative was also named reserve grand champion. The cheeses were judged according to flavour, texture, close- employed at Empire.

2011. This year’s performance is the best the company has done at the annual competition held in Toronto since 2008 when it was proclaimed grand champion (Canadian variety cheese) and reserve champion, and earned seven toptwo finishes, including three firsts. Erwin said its “consistency in everything we do” that accounts for the cooperative’s stellar showings each year. That includes using good quality fresh milk and “cultures that work,” monitoring closely the acidic, salt and moisture content during the manufacturing process, and then aging the cheese properly afterward. Its products are made the traditional way, in open-style vats. That involves “a lot of manual labour,” turning the Please see “Area” on page B3

Local airman to receive award for bravery Quinte West – News - Canadian Armed Forces Master Corporal (M. Cpl.) Brent Nolasco, currently based at 8 Wing Trenton, is one of four recipients to be honoured at the 12th annual Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) Foundation Awards for Justice and Public Safety Gala, presented by Scotiabank, being held at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver on November 28. Each year, the Awards Gala recognizes and acknowledges individuals and organizations that have made outstanding contributions in the areas of justice, public safety and community leadership.

This year, M. Cpl. Nolasco will receive The JIBC Foundation Heroes and Rescue Award for demonstrating courage in carrying out a difficult or heroic rescue to save another person’s life. M. Cpl. Nolasco was in training to become a Search and Rescue Technician at the Canadian Forces School of Search and Rescue in Comox, B.C., when he found himself responding to a reallife rescue situation in December 2012. It was during the practical portion of the medical phase of his training that a call came in about a car accident in Victoria where a vehicle had flipped over and

Birdhouse nature store

“Master Corporal Brent Nolasco is a true hero in every sense of the word.” Upon arrival at the scene, police and firefighters were attempting to turn the vehicle over but to no avail. Seeing that the passenger was still restrained in her seat belt, M. Cpl. Nolasco gave his knife to a police officer so he could cut the strap. Even after the shoulder strap was cut, the female passenger remained trapped. M. Cpl. Nolasco quickly recognized that the young woman was still being restrained by the lap belt. Without hesitation, he retrieved his knife,

entered the frigid water, cut the lap belt and freed the passenger. He then pulled her out of the wreckage, and with the help of the other emergency responders, carried her up the embankment to the ambulance where he performed chest compressions. While en route to hospital, the young woman regained a normal heart rhythm. “Master Corporal Brent Nolasco is a true hero in every sense of the word,” said John Chesman, JIBC Foundation Chair. “His bravery and selfless actions, while under such extreme stress, helped to save the life of another human being. Master Corporal Nolasco is a testament to the outstanding calibre of the Search and Rescue Technicians serving the Canadian Armed Forces. We are proud to present him with this award. ” M. Cpl. Nolasco will be attending the Awards Gala in Vancouver to accept his Master Corporal Brent Nolasco, shown here, has been nominated for the JIBC Foundation Heroes and Rescue Award. award.

Stirling - News - In the middle of one of many long rehearsals at the Stirling Festival Theatre, local firefighters arrived to rescue Rapunzel from her tower and provide a brief distraction and a perfect reason to break for lunch. It was a moment of levity for cast and crew last week as an intense work schedule continues in the lead-up to the Christmas Panto opening later this month. Managing Director David Vanderlip admits it is a busy time at the theatre, preparing for both a naughty and family version of Rapunzel: A Hairy Tale before its month-long run begins on November 22, but adds the building is alive with creative energy and the feeling is infective. Working with playwright Ken MacDougall and a team of actors, music directors, set and lighting designers and technical support, Vanderlip notes there are many elements involved in building a show from the ground up and polishing it for performance. And the resulting days can be long, he says.

From her tower at the Stirling Festival Theatre, Rapunzel, played by Kristi Frank, greets local firefighter Andrew Jeffs as he comes to her rescue. Cast and crew were interrupted during a recent rehearsal for the Christmas panto.

Fiddlers will help Red Cross typhoon relief

Asphodel-Norwood – News - As in they’ve done in the past, the Donegal Fiddlers Orchestra is reaching out to the victims of the devastating Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines which killed over 3,600 people and left, at last estimation, another 1.9 million people homeless. The Donegal Fiddlers will use their December 7 Christmas dance to help raise funds for the Canadian Red Cross. Funds raised by the Red Cross and other charitable organizations working to assist typhoon victims are being matched by the federal government. In the past, the Orchestra has

raised money for Haitian earthquake victims and Habitat for Humanity. They’re inviting anyone who wants to make a donation to the Red Cross Typhoon Haiyan relief fund to come to the town hall December 7. The decision to “lead the local appeal for help in that faraway country” was a natural response, said orchestra member Ron Scott said. “When the need arises we must act quickly.” All proceeds from the dance will go to the Red Cross including cash and cheques especially dedicated to the cause as well as the admission at the door for the dance. “We invite not only our reg-

ular dancers but anyone else who would like to drop by for the evening to stay and have a dance, listen to the music and bring along a little pot luck for lunch at intermission,” said Scott. The concert, he said, will not only be an evening of socializing but a local opportunity to “have a positive effect in this devastated part of the world.” The federal government’s fund-matching program will run until December 9. “Since before the typhoon made landfall, Red Cross teams have been working around the clock to support thousands of people in the storm’s path,”

says Conrad Sauvé, secretary general and CEO of the Canadian Red Cross. Nine banks in Canada are also accepting donations in support of Red Cross relief efforts. The Red Cross has sent its state-of-the-art field hospital to the Philippines. The hospital can cover the health needs of over 100,000 people and treat patients by admitting them in the clinic or through out-patient services. The hospital can treat up to

300 patients a day as out-patients and provide immunization for 1,000 children if needed. It will be deployed by a core team of 12 Canadian medical and support staff and will have additional surgical capacity of up to 70 in-patient beds and will be supported by both material and personnel from the Norwegian and Hong King Red Cross. The organization was on the ground before the storm hit land on November 8 to help evacuate families in coastal areas and

support emergency shelters. Water, sanitation, medicine and shelter are needed immediately; flooding, landslides and damaged infrastructure continue to hamper access to some hard-hit communities. People can also make donations at www.redcross.ca or by calling 1-800-418-1111. Locally, TD Canada Trust, RBC, BMO Financial Group Scotiabank and CIBIC are among the nine banks accepting donations.

For the Love of a Song: Only two performances left

Entertainment - A talented seven-member singing cast known as For the Love of a Song are celebrating their seventh year together and are sharing more wonderful music with their audiences including a salute to West Side Story featuring songs like Maria, Tonight, One Hand One Heart and Somewhere (There’s A Place For Us), as well as songs from many other Broadway shows including Crazy for You. Working with their special guests the seven member Bay City Band, the singers are also

performing chart toppers from the 60s, 70s and 80s including tunes by The Mamas & The Papas, Huey Lewis, Bobby Darrin and ABBA. The second half of the show is filled with some of your holiday season favourites. Also joining the cast this year are ten talented performers from Tawny’s School of Dance. All styles including tap are featured as the dancers mold with the singers many times throughout the two-hour production. Philippa Burkholder, Kim Dafoe, Anita Halfpenny, Craig

Parry, Hugh Williams and Al Zaback under the direction of Susan Walsh, are thrilled once again to be staging this production in the beautiful and fully accessible Maranatha Auditorium at 100 College St West, Belleville. Twenty dollar tickets are available at the door with two performances left … Friday, Nov. 29 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, November 30 at 2 p.m. This show is a very important Paula Kirkland of the Donegal Fiddlers Orchestra performs during last year’s Christmas dance. The Orchestra will donate the fundraiser for both the Belleville proceeds from their December 7 concert to the Canadian Red Cross Typhoon Haiyan relief fund. They are encouraging anyone Christmas Sharing Program and who wants to make a donation to the relief fund to drop into the Norwood Town Hall that evening. Photo: Bill Freeman Adopt-A-Child.

Starlite Tour kicks off Christmas festival

Stirling - News - Officials and volunteers at the local agricultural museum have been busily preparing for the Christmas season and the return of the Starlite House Tour and Christmas at Farmtown Park this weekend. The House Tour, which features half a dozen local homes spectacularly decorated for the holidays, runs today (Thursday) from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. with many participants expected to arrive at the village’s agricultural museum immediately afterwards for the opening of the Home For the Holidays display in Heritage Village. Organizer Harry Danford, who was one of many involved in the planning and preparation at the museum, says the successful return of the fund raising raffle last year, after being hosted some years before, prompted the decision to make it an annual event. And with more than 60 items available for raffle throughout the weekend, he adds, crowds are anticipated through Friday, Saturday and

Sunday as well. “It’ll be quite something to see all the trees lit up,” he says. With the help of the Christmas festival’s Artistic Director Debbie Cooney, the historical street scene has all the charms of an old time Christmas, Danford says. With three heaters strategically located along the sidewalks, there will be plenty of added warmth as well. “It shouldn’t be too bad in here,” Danford says of the temperature in the usually unheated building, “and there will be places to go and get warm.” Farmtown Park Manager Margaret Grotek says although the museum has been closed for the winter, there has been lots of activity there in the past few weeks. Dozens of artificial trees have been strung with lights and thematically decorated, boxes of toys and baskets of holiday items have been prepared along with other unique items and various displays in the facility’s popular streetscape building. And volunteers have also

Each item available for raffle will have an accompanying box where tickets can be deposited. Throughout the fourday event that begins tonight, visitors can chose which draws to enter, with the final random selections scheduled

to begin Sunday at 2 p.m. The Starlite House Tour runs tonight from 4 p.m. 9 p.m. with Christmas at Farmtown Park continuing through Friday (noon - 9 p.m.), Saturday (10 a.m. - 6 p.m.) and Sunday from 10 a.m. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards the continued operation of Farmtown Park.

With over a month still left of rehearsal time, The Velveteen Rabbit promises to deliver a very polished production. It’s going to be an excellent holiday season outing for the whole family.” These last few weeks will be extremely busy as choreographer AmyLynn Van Londersele helps the actors master their dance routines and costume director Angela MacPherson and her assistant Helen Lindenberg create the imaginative costumes required for the

cast of toys, tree spirits, live rabbits, and human characters. Siobhan Enright, the set designer, assisted by Perry Poupore will be leading the young back stage crew in the fine art of set painting and scene changes. Even the lighting designers, Art MacKay and Jim Alexander, have enlisted the help of some keen teenagers to help with lighting. The Velveteen Rabbit opens on Thursday, November 28th and runs Wednesday to Sunday until Saturday, December 14th. Evening performances will start at 7:30 p.m. and the two Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Ticket prices are $10 for students, $20 for adults and $18 for seniors.

For the birds: recollections and rambles

Lifestyles - Fred Helleiner is hard to miss at Presqu’ile Provincial Park. His trademark rusty bicycle often can be found leaning against a tree somewhere, its owner nearby scanning the beaches for shorebirds, his spotting scope slung over his shoulder. If there is no snow on the ground, he will be wearing sandals. Fred is something of an icon at Presqu’ile since moving there 14 years ago, following his retirement from Trent University, as professor in the Department of Geography, a department which he founded. His weekly bird report is circulated to 2,000 or more subscribers to the Ontario Birds Bird Alert listserv and is also carried on the NatureStuff website. Needless to say, if it is a bird, and is in the park, Fred soon knows about it. With so many years of birding under his belt from the age of 12, it is appropriate that Fred should write a book on his hobby, from its “fledgling” beginnings when birdwatching was considered a namby pamby pursuit, favoured by elderly spinsters, retired teachers and school boys on a hike. His book, “For the Birds: Recollections and

Rambles”, is just that – a memoir on his life as a birder, looking back to some of those earlier days and the friendships he made with fellow birders, some of them renowned like Fred Bodsworth, Jim Baillie, Ron Scovell, and Jim Woodford, all of whom I had also met when I was a young birder. That he was able to extract his most memorable experiences and get them in a book of only 71 pages must have been a challenge. However, he tackled the job admirably, the result being a chronicle of his life as a birder. Fred admits that, despite his many years of birding, he does not keep a life list, preferring to concentrate his efforts closer to home, namely Presqu’ile Park. This did not prevent him however, from driving to Milford to see a black-bellied whistling duck from Texas, or a northern wheatear on Wolfe Island. His earlier trips as a teen birder in Toronto and Peterborough involved more effort, and he often depended on the generosity of others to take him birding somewhere. Long ago, he saw the advantage that a bicycle would have in furthering his efforts in finding new birds and he used it to access birding areas that

previously had been beyond reach. On one exhausting trip, he relates, he biked from Hamilton to Burlington with a cohort to see a western grebe that had been reported there. Of course, the bird failed to appear, but he had better luck on another trip to see an American Avocet. The entire book is sprinkled with similar anecdotes. A Frazier TV episode came to mind when he related a rite known as the snipe hunt. His perpetrators sadistically told him to sit quietly in the dusk surrounded by mosquitoes and wait patiently for the snipe to appear, which, of course, they never did. As a young gullible birder, his early life was riddled with similar experiences, all at his expense. Birdwatching was the target of ridicule when binoculars were stuffed under jackets to escape public view, and not the respected, popular pastime that it is today. I was also reminded of my own experiences as a field trip leader when birders will obediently follow me like sheep, even as I head for an outhouse. In his book, Fred commented that birding in earlier years in his birding circle was a male dominated hobby.

Finally permitting a female to join their group once in Toronto, she sought to become a “groupie” of one well known birder who was looking for a reported great gray owl and refused to give this birder the much needed opportunity to relieve himself behind a tree. Only one reliable field guide available then – Peterson’s (and Fred admits to having memorized it from cover to cover), sub-standard binoculars, and a general lack of acceptance to birding as a legitimate hobby, things have sure changed in recent years. Fred, in his closing chapter, The Next Generation, mentions a number of younger birders who have given him reason to look forward to the future of birding with optimism. He is understandably moved by the enthusiasm of many of the younger birders he sees entering the park, reminding him of the days when he, too, was starting out as teen birder. If I were to mention two of the birders who stand out that Fred remembers as very young birders who have gone on to do great things, they would be Ian Shanahan and Doug McRae, two of the most respected birders in Presqu’ile Park today.

Fred laments that some of these new birders will no longer be able to see bobwhites, nor access the shrinking number of public birding areas, as he did as a youth. However, species uncommon to him in his youth can now readily be found as they expand their range. “If anything I have said or done while interacting with young people will inspire them to develop the all consuming passion for birding that has so enriched my own life, then I will feel greatly satisfied.” “For the Birds: Recollections and Rambles”, by Fred Helleiner, is available at $20 at Out on a Limb in Brighton, and can be ordered directly from the author at 186 Bayshore Rd., Brighton, Ontario K0K 1H0 (add $2.50 for postage) All profits are being donated to the Friends of Presqu’ile’s 25th Anniversary Environmental Fund, which sponsors long-term projects like the eradication of invasive species.

They also arranged for safe shelter on behalf of the girl who had been held captive for 10 days before escaping. The Canadians bought “a winter’s worth of potatoes and carrots” for families who survive on what they can salvage at a landfill, and they took a group of university students to dinner and gave them supplies to help with their education. They also treated children in one orphanage to a fun night and took another group to a water park and restaurant. The sad lives Rutter regularly witnessed made for an “emotional” stay that still causes him to well up when discussing what he saw. But he also saw glimpses of hope that “they’re turning the corner,” although “it’s a daunting task.” The university students, for example, “are going to change the world,” he said, and there’s evidence of an “entrepreneurial spirit” taking hold. “They’re just wonderful people.” Rutter said if he had been asked a day after he got back home if he would ever return to Kyrygzstan, he would have answered never again and opt to send money instead.

News - Trent Hills – Helping the people of Kyrygzstan, who have so little, “was an incredible experience,” says Trent Hills Chief Administrative Officer Mike Rutter. “It really does change you in how you see the world.” For one, it gave him a renewed appreciation of how “lucky” he is to live where he does and “have the best job in the world,” but it also led him to ask: “Why are we so blessed?” He discovered during his 10 days in the central Asian country how few blessings are enjoyed by many of that impoverished country’s citizens. After the Soviet Union collapsed, people’s jobs disappeared as factories closed “and there was no social safety net,” Rutter said. “They work so hard trying to make ends meet.” But corruption is rampant and alcoholism is a big problem (“vodka is cheaper than water”), and there’s “just a hopeless feeling. “It’s a country that forgot God,” he said. “I hope our society never does that ... because I think it has devastating results.” Rutter encountered Third World-like conditions in Tokmok, the city where he stayed as a member of a team providing humanitarian aid to local residents. He came across “some disturbing stuff” while there in October, such as men with “emotional challenges” institutionalized, living in a stark, cold

DART team continues deployment to typhoon-ravaged Phillipines By Ross Lees

News - Disaster Assistance Response team (DART) members continued to deploy from 8 Wing Trenton last Wednesday night to help the typhoon-ravaged Phillipines. Destined to finally touch down in the city of Iloilo in the Phillipines, the CC-177 Globemaster III aircraft was loaded with Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel and an assortment of equipment to help out with the

humanitarian operation, according to Major General Jim Ferron, Commanding Officer of the 1st Canadian Division based in Kingston, Ontario. “We need to get some engineering capability in there to start clearing away some of the rubble so that we can bring in some of our medical assets, so we’re bringing a group of engineers with a command and control capability to set those conditions we need to really get this job done,” he noted as the flight

was preparing for takeoff around 9 p.m. Wednesday night. Sixty CAF personnel from all across Canada were loaded on the aircraft with equipment and Maj. Gen. Ferron said Canadians can be proud of the response of their men and women in uniform who came forward to get this effort underway. He said the Canadian Armed Forces would continue to move personnel and equipment into the storm-damaged country to solidify the plan currently in place. “I recognize that you can never be fast enough for an operation like this, but we’re putting in place the mechanism so that we get in. We’re prepared and we’ll truly make a difference to the Phillipine people,” he told The Contact. The DART is a multidisciplinary military organization designed to deploy on short notice anywhere in the world in response to situations ranging from natural disasters to complex humanitarian emergencies. It is one component in Canada’s toolkit to respond to natural disasters abroad. The DART is equipped to conduct emergency relief operations for up to approximately 40 days to bridge the gap until national and international aid agencies can arrive to provide long-

Mobility of the DART is supported by the CC-177 Globemaster III, which helps provide everything from the rapid delivery of troops and cargo transport to oversized equipment anywhere in the world. Maj. Gen. Ferron, 8 Wing Commander Col. David Lothian, and 8 Wing Operations Officer, Lt.-Col. Christian Roy, were all at the tarmac and in the deploying aircraft to meet with the men and women in uniform responding to the crisis success. “They’re very motivated to get

going and I was just so proud of them as we put them on board,” Maj. Gen. Ferron stated. “There’s a medical crisis there and one of the areas we hope to make a difference is in the provision of fresh water, so we’re bringing in our reverse osmosis water purification units (ROWPU) to do some of that work with the engineers clearing the way and then (we will be) bringing a very focussed medical team in to start helping out in some of the areas that really need the help.” While onboard the aircraft to speak to the departing personnel, Maj. Gen. Ferron pointed to a large front-end loader and said, “That baby will make a big difference.”

Utrecht’s unique canals and wharf cellars

Taking a canal cruise in Utrecht.

Lifestyles - My fondest memory of my visit to Utrecht in the Netherlands is of its plethora of wharf cellars that are still found along its inner city canals. These intriguing structures were built back in the Middle Ages, when Utrecht was an important trade centre, and they provided great storage facilities right at water level. I discovered that these wharf cellars, with their pedestrian walkways, are unique to this Dutch city, and a series of staircases lead from these pedestrian quays up to the street level, providing the visitor with a two-level street system along the canals. I explored this unique area of Utrecht on foot and by boat and I was struck by both its practicality and its beauty. I saw many reminders of its bygone Middle Age era and even of earlier times (after all, a Roman fortress was built here as early as about 47 AD). I also saw many low bridges along these canals (including some swing bridges), parked boats (there’s a waiting list for ‘parking space’ along the canals), boat rentals (including pedal boats and canoes), bicycles (there are more bicycles than motor vehicles found in the inner core of the city), hidden gardens, and a great variety of architecture, both old and new. I even witnessed people carrying very heavy refrigerators, furniture, and supply items from the street level to the canal level, via the stairs! Most of the old wharf storage facilities have now been converted into boutiques, craft shops, bars and restaurants, so I just had to check out some of these for myself. It’s interesting to explore these ancient cellars and see how so many of them

have been redesigned and reused today. For example, I found that the Ouden City Castle, an ancient fortresslike house located right in the heart of the city, now has a brewery in its old wharf cellar. I even dined in one of these mediaeval cellars, now converted into a “Restaurant Humphreys”. I discovered just how enormous and dark some of these storage facilities actually were. I also found out first hand, just how much food was served here, for I could hardly believe the amount I was given and I couldn’t eat more than half of my portion! As I did my touring of Utrecht’s canals and wharf cellars, I also discovered many of its other incredible tourist attractions. For example, it would be almost impossible to miss the city’s Domtower, the highest church tower in the Netherlands, which soars above Cathedral Square. It’s possible to ascend its 465 steps for a fantastic view of the city. In addition to this landmark, I also visited the interior of St. Martin’s Church, which was hit by a freak tornado back in 1674, collapsing its nave which was never rebuilt. I also checked out Hoog Catharijne (one of Europe’s largest indoor shopping centres), Catharijne Convent The highest church tower in the Netherlands.

LIFESTYLES

Reality Check:

Sheila Wray Gregoire By Sheila Wray Gregoire

Lifestyles - I love to-do lists and organization planners. I have Excel spreadsheets for household chores and the business tasks I need to complete on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. On good days, when I don’t hit the snooze button, I actually get most of those things done. There’s only one problem. I have no margins in my life. If I’m super organized and super energetic, it is possible to keep my house clean and to get all my work done and, hopefully, to head to the grocery store before we’re stuck discovering that all we have in the cupboards are tins of cranberry sauce and tuna. But if an emergency comes up,

Is being a double income family worth the stress? I’m in trouble. My husband works more than fulltime, and my writing and speaking require my full-time attention and too much travel. Because I write primarily on marriage, it’s also really hard to neglect mine, or that “hypocrite” word might get tossed around. And with my oldest now flown the coop, I’m trying to spend as much time as I can with my youngest before she leaves, too. Life is simply busy. Pretty much everyone feels that way. But I think one of the biggest sources of stress isn’t the amount of work on our plate; it’s that nagging feeling that one more straw is going to cause the whole thing to come crashing down. We used to have some buffer in our

lives. At one time women were home to bring dinners to friends in the hospital, or to take parents to doctors’ appointments, or to care for a sister’s child if said sister caught a disgusting intestinal bug. Today few of us have people we can rely on. And what’s perhaps even worse is that we aren’t able to be there for those that we love, either. When my cousin had a baby recently and needed help, I wasn’t in the position to go. What kind of life are we leading if we don’t have the room to be there for those that we love? Yet my problem doesn’t stop there. What if, in all of our chaos of making more money, we’re actually missing out on a “good life”? A “good life” has to involve little touches of creativity and

The Good Earth: By Dan Clost

Lifestyles - O&S#1 Leaves: I know I tend to run on about this but it does surprise me to see so many bags of leaves sitting on the curb. Fortunately, they’ll go to a municipal compost pile where the black gold (carbon) can be returned to this good earth. Next spring, that carbon needs to be replaced and folks run out to garden centres and

nurseries to buy fertiliser, compost and other stuff (sounds good on the late night infomercials). Time has been spent, money has been spent, and unnecessary resources (e.g. the plastic bags holding the compost) have been used all to replace something they threw out a few short months ago. As it happens, I do toil away at a garden centre and will cer-

beauty: that home-cooked meal instead of the barbecued chicken we picked up on the way home; those refinished dressers instead of the Ikea assemble-yourself plywood; the crocheted baby afghans. One of the things I miss most lately is the joy of friends coming for dinner, an event which is quite difficult if you’re never home to cook dinner, let alone to clear a path to the dining room table. My business started off extremely part time, but it has mushroomed, for which I am grateful. My husband is doing well at his job, for which I am proud. Yet I am not certain that this is the life I want. If I have no room for emergencies, and little room for beauty and hospitality and fun, then what is the point?

Time to get ready for winter tainly not turn away sales. But, I would rather fill my corporate master’s coffers with coins proffered for other reasons. O&S#2 Impatiens and Downy Mildew: It will be very interesting to see what happens next spring; I confess that I haven’t got a clue as to how the markets will respond. There is no doubt that this was likely the last year for us to have complete confidence that our Impatiens walleriana is disease free. There will be some suppliers with clean stock, I’m sure, but all of the gardening gurus and growers magazines are advising that we select alternatives. Fortunately, this is an annual plant so the growers can quickly respond to the expected changes. We gardeners will have many new choices next spring which can give us some pleasant hours “designing” our new flower beds. O&S#3 Emerald Ash Borer: There are lots and lots of material available about this little critter. It will have a devastating impact on our ash trees, which is the most prevalent deciduous tree species in the province. That means we need to select other trees for our landscapes. There are many choices available, including native species such as Celtis occidentalis, Hackberry, but I advise you to gen up on their bio’s. Hackberry is probably the closest in terms of form and function but it will require more attention towards formative pruning. O&S#4 Christmas trees: A pet peeve here, I sell Christmas trees, not Happy Festive Holiday Feel Good Today trees. The trees are arriving in outlets across our area and, judging by the ones at our store, they are looking very good this year. Just so you know, unless you go to a cut your own place, almost all of the trees were cut in November, with many being bundled up in October. Scots Pine, which doesn’t need a

The dual income family is now the norm, and that won’t change. Certainly we could all lower our expectations and work less. The reduction in stress is likely worth the reduction in income. Yet that is not always easy to do. And in the meantime, there is no one left to “keep the home fires burning”. We women felt undervalued when we were “just housewives”, but gradually, as most women work, more and more of us are realizing just how valuable having someone at home was. That spouse didn’t just care for the kids and do the housework; that spouse gave you that buffer, that margin, that made life liveable. I can’t give up a business I’ve spent years creating, but in the meantime, I could really use a wife.

triggering frost to switch it over to dormant mode, is the first species cut. I got that from our contact with Somerville Nurseries, aka Kris Kringle Christmas Trees; the things you learn, eh? It is far too early to bring a tree indoors and expect it to last the entire season; but, it is not too early to buy one. Pick the one you like and keep it outdoors, out of the wind. Don’t cut the bottom. It will be fine when you are ready to bring it indoors. O&S#5 Winter mulch: this is a task that too few of us do correctly. Winter mulch is used to keep the cold in. So, don’t apply it until there is some cold in the ground: an added benefit of waiting is that all of the critters who might nestle down close to a winter food supply will have moved on looking for warmer digs. . That doesn’t mean you have to wait until there’s an

inch of frost but it does mean that the surface should be crispy. You can have a pile of dry leaves waiting to place on top of semi hardy shrubs such as Zone 6 hydrangeas, butterfly bush and garden mums. If you’ve pruned up junipers or other conifers, place the boughs around the bottoms of rhododendrons, kalmia, pieris etc., the shallow-rooted really expensive specimens in your beds. O&S#6 Remembrance Day column: Thank you for all of your comments on last week’s column. I would like the veterans and serving members to know that responses to that column indicate a deep undercurrent of pride and gratefulness on the part of Canadians. I think it’s sort of like hockey, moose, and maple syrup-imbedded within our national psyche to the extent that it is part of us.

First Walk for Memories in Trenton

By Kate Everson

Quinte West – News - This year, for the first time, the Alzheimer Society is organizing a Walk for Memories in Trenton. “The event will be on Sunday, January 19, 2014,” says Hannah Brown, Fund Development Coordinator. Walk for Memories is a fundraising event and an opportunity for people in the community to come together in support of local individuals and families living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. “Hosting this event in Trenton will give us a unique opportunity to recognize the Alzheimer’s disease support communities that have developed in Quinte West and Brighton,” Brown says. This event will provide an excellent opportunity to increase awareness around the many programs and services available to people in these communities. “The number of people

we serve in Quinte West and Brighton has doubled over the past year,” Brown notes. “As an area where a large portion of the population is seniors we expect that number to continue growing.” With less than 24 per cent of the organization’s annual budget funded by the government, it relies on the money raised at events such as Walk for Memories. These funds provide critical programs and services to individuals and families in the community. “January is Alzheimer Month and we would like to partner with you to help us advocate the need for greater education and support in the community for people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias,” Browns says. The Alzheimer Society of Belleville-Hastings-Quinte is located in the Bay View Mall at 470 Dundas St. W. in Belleville. Call 613-962-0892 or go to alzheimersocietyofbhq. com for information.

Wealth of history explored that attracts over three million visitors a year as a prime example of what kind of potential historical events can have on a community’s economy. “I think there’s a real appetite for this, otherwise you wouldn’t have the history channel,” Lockyer said. “They exist as businesses because there’s a business in history. “We have the history as a dormant resource, why don’t we tell these stories to the world.” The 2013 series premieres tonight at the Empire Theatre at 7 p.m. and tickets are $10 at the door. For more information on the History Moments Series, visit their website at www.historyliveshere.ca.

Santa Claus is coming to Deseronto Events - Deseronto’s Santa Claus parade takes place this Saturday, November 23rd at 6:30 p.m. View the parade route at www.deseronto.ca. Don’t miss the Town Tree lighting ceremony, Christmas carols, visits with Santa and complimentary refreshments following the parade in Rathbun Park. Deseronto Food Bank donations of non-perishable food items will be collected along the parade route by Deseronto Public School students; the generosity of spectators is greatly appreciated. The assistance of volunteers is needed for the collection of donations. Join in the fun and enter a float! Registration forms are available at www.deseronto.ca or contact the town hall at 613-396-2440, dvalentyne@deseronto.ca for float or volunteer inquiries.

The 2013 History Moments Series explores local history through short video vignettes detailing significant moments and people. This photo from the Community Archives of Belleville and Hastings County shows a parade in Belleville in 1899 for the arrival of the Governor General. Photo: Submitted Belleville - News - History comes alive tonight in Belleville when the 2013 History Moments Series hits the big screen at the Empire Theatre beginning at 7 p.m., and producer Peter Lockyer said he has big ideas about what the future could hold for historybased tourism in the region. “I would like to see us get into the history business,” Lockyer, a former CBC Radio and Television broadcaster said. “There are many communities in the world that make money out of their history... to me, we could do this here.” Tonight, the History Moments Series will explore just a small piece of the vast history surrounding the region, through a series of short, 2-minute video vignettes. After the premiere, the videos will be distributed for play at local theatres, on TV Cogeco, CKWS Television in Kingston and to local schools, archives and libraries, all in the interest of promoting local history. Some of the 2013 series highlights include segments on Belleville’s Mackenzie Bowell, the fifth prime minister of Canada, Belleville doctor James Bertram Collip’s contributions to the discovery of insulin and the history of the venerable Belleville Club. “Not everybody in the series made headlines or won awards,” Lockyer said. “We have stories of ordinary people who lived quiet, decent hardworking lives like most of us, but they did something extraordinary.” While the series is now entering its fifth

year, Lockyer explained that an annual production wasn’t always the plan. After returning to his hometown of Picton around the year 2000, Lockyer said he had taken on an interest of his father’s, which was to restore and maintain a local cemetery. After learning more about the project, Lockyer said he began to think the cemetery had some assets that were not being fully utilized, most notably a glut of history chronicling scores of individuals who made a meaningful impact on the history of the region. After a fundraising campaign to restore the cemetery far exceeded his expectations by raising over $90,000, walking tours and a lecture series were

quick to follow. In 2009, the 225th anniversary of Loyalist settlement in Prince Edward County, Lockyer created the first History Moments Series. “[We said] we’ll just do it once, to celebrate Loyalist settlement,” Lockyer laughed, reflecting on the start of the series. “It really registered with people...I’m not trying to tell you the whole story, because I want you to go to the museums and get the rest of the story yourself, but I am trying to engage you in the local history that is all around us.” Looking ahead to the future, Lockyer said the potential utilization of local history as a resource was huge. Lockyer pointed to Gettysburg, a small town of just over 7,000

Seniors must be vigilant

By Bill Freeman

Hastings – News - Fraudsters and scam artists target seniors because of their trusting nature and that’s why vigilance should be the number one defence against confidence tricksters, police say. “They target seniors because of your trusting nature,” Northumberland OPP Const. Karen German said during a fraud presentation at the Hastings Civic Centre last week. The presentation, which drew a large crowd, was hosted by the Trent Hills Community Policing Committee. The presentation was timely given the wave of “grandparent scam” attempts and the fact that Trent Hills residents have been victims. Const. German and Const. Steve Bates cited some of the more popular scams but reminded guests that they The Trent Hills Community Policing Committee hosted a well-attended anti-fraud presentation in Hastings last week, which were “just touching on a few of them” was presented by the Northumberland OPP.

Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre lists at least 30 different types of frauds and scams. While seniors are a large target group, there is “no typical victim,” Const. German said. Anyone can be deceived. “They will go where the money is. They want your money. If they take from you once they will go after you again.” The officers talked about frequently used scams including computer repairs, home repairs, the big prizelottery scam, advance fee letter fraud and cheque overpayment fraud. The grandparent or emergency scam is the one that is often used, the two officers said. They’ve both seen examples in Trent Hills. “I deal a lot with emergency scams,” Const. German said. “It plays on a person’s sympathies and emotions.” “Grandparent scams are top of the list for frauds on seniors,” Const. Bates agreed. In the “grandparent scam” the scammer attempts to convince the victim that a loved one is hurt or in trouble and needs immediate financial assistance to remedy or improve the situation. The callers usually have no information about the loved one and use a series of leading questions to fill in the blanks while preying on the victim’s sense of concern. “Calm yourself down” when you get a call like that,” Const. Gorman said. “Ask personal questions only a (loved one) would know.” If they can’t answer those questions accurately hang up the phone and call the police,

she said. “The phone is a very frequent way to get information from seniors,” Const. Bates said, noting that an 86-yearold Hastings resident was a recent target with the caller asking increasingly personal questions in an effort to squeeze him for information. Always guard your personal information, they stressed. “He called the OPP which is the right thing to do,” Const. Bates said. “If you don’t know the person or recognize the number that should be a red flag immediately. “If you don’t know the number why would you waste the time talking?” Seniors who use computers should be equally vigilant, they added. Policing Committee chair Lilian Adams said the presentation was very informative. “It was very important because of the seniors around here,” Adams said. “I get those calls all the time; it makes you nervous.” Adams said she was victimized a couple of years ago and sent money in response to a call. “I am guilty. You’re naïve and as you get older it’s so easy to be taken.” Adams said information is power and the more people learn about frauds the safer they will be. “I think these presentations are terrific, especially in a small town.” Seniors should not be embarrassed to call police. “Don’t be afraid to call us,” said Const. Gorman.

Anti-submarine boats travelled Trent-Severn to engage German U-boats in Second World War

By John Campbell

largest navy in the world, with 378 ships. The Fairmile was the second-most common, behind the corvette. Hunter Boats was one of five boatyards in Ontario chosen to build the motor launches using prefabricated kits. At 112 feet in length, they were short enough to fit inside the locks between Orillia and Trenton (they couldn’t head north to Georgian Bay, which was closer, because they were too long for the marine railway at Big Chute). Among the many photos Brunger included in his presentation were a few showing the Fairmiles docked in Campbellford, taken by Frank Linton, who later served as mayor of the town. Brunger said there are no records of a Fairmile ever having destroyed a U-boat with its depth charges, but by 1943 the German submarines were on the defen-

sive and the motor launches “had a role in patrolling, which must have been effective, so it was a good idea to build them.” After the war, “the government was so anxious to get cash and to reduce the navy because it didn’t need 300-odd ships, it sold them for fire sale prices,” Brunger said. Fairmiles were sold for just $3,500, even though they had cost $70,000 to build. On a separate note, Probus Club president Bill Hogle announced that the newly formed group had set a cap on membership at 150 people, which was reached during the meeting held Nov. 13 at St. John’s United Church auditorium. Anyone interested in joining will be put on waiting list Alan Brunger chats with Trent Hills Probus Club vice-president Art Linton before giving a talk on antibut must have a sponsor to become a submarine boats that travelled on the Trent-Severn Waterway during the Second World War en route to the Battle of the St. Lawrence.

Campbellford – Warships made their way along the Trent-Severn Waterway more than 70 years ago to do battle with the dreaded German U-boats during the Second World War, members and guests of the Trent Hills Probus Club learned during a presentation last week. “There was a real problem with submarine activity (which came to be) called the Battle of the St. Lawrence because so many of the sinkings were actually in Canadian territory,” Alan Brunger, a retired Trent University professor, told the club. He’s written about this little-known chapter of Canadian military history in a paper, Warships in the Waterway that was published by the Peterborough Historical Society and released just before Remembrance Day. It tells the story of seven Fairmile anti-submarine motor launches built in Orillia by Hunter Boats Ltd. from 1941 to 1944. The only way they could reach the wartime theatre of activity in the Atlantic Ocean from a shipyard on Lake Couchiching was via the Trent-Severn to Lake Ontario, which took them past Campbellford in their four-day journey southward. Canada “was crucial in supplying Britain with all sorts of food, armaments (and) materials” but the ships were favourite targets of U-boats, which sank many of them in the St. Lawrence estuary and beyond, Brunger said. It got so bad – a ferry was torpedoed in 1942 killing more than 140 civilians – that “there was terrific pressure on the government to issue these contracts to build all sorts of ships” in response to the German threat, Brunger said. At the start of the war, the Royal Canadian Navy only had 13 ships, but by 1945 it had grown to become the fourth

Batawa Ski Hill is making snow earlier than ever before

By Kate Everson

News - The Batawa Ski Hill’s new Operations Manager, Danny MacDuffie, says, “It is plain and simple, cold means snow.” And with the first real cold snap of the season, Batawa Ski Hill is making snow earlier than ever before. At 11:15 p.m. on Monday November 11, 2013 the snow guns fired up and made snow until mid-day on Tuesday. “We will fire the guns up again tonight

and probably Wednesday night as well,” said MacDuffie. There will not be enough snow to open, but making snow at every opportunity will mean that the hill should be open for it planned grand opening on December 14. “The goal is to have most, if not all, of the hill open before Christmas so that families will have a great place to play through the holidays,” said General Manager Andrew Rusynyk. “I

am so happy to have MacDuffie and his Outside Operations crew here this year. The hill is as ready as it has ever been to open for the winter fun season.” MacDuffie came to Batawa Ski Hill in late of August and brings over 25 years of Ski Resort Operations Management in Ontario. He is a Certified Lift Mechanic as well as a millwright, diesel mechanic and a welder who has built high rises and factories, in addition to making snow

and getting people to the top of ski hills. Raised on a farm outside Collingwood, the ski industry was a way of life as his father, Russell MacDuffie, worked for the Welder family developing Blue Mountain back in the 60s, 70s and 80s. “I started working at Blue Mountain at 13 years old in operations, lifts, maintenance and whatever else they would let me do. After high school I left to work as a welder and fitter at the shipyards for four years.” Then after a stretch out west and working in the trades for a few years, he realized that something was missing. It was the ski industry. He got back into the ski biz with a job at Craiglieth Ski Club as the Maintenance Manager. In his 11 years at the Craigleith he was the first non-member to receive the President’s Award. His work within the ski industry has also taken him to other resorts like Talisman, Cedar Highlands, Calabogie Peaks and Pine Ridge Ski Club. “I have enjoyed building small ski hills into larger four season venues,” says MacDuffie. In 1979, he met his wife Susan. They have three children that come to visit Batawa frequently. When he came across the Outside Operations job at Batawa Ski Hill, he thought this would be a great place to finish out his career in the ski business. “So far my wife and I love it. It is a very special

community and living right in Batawa has been awesome,” laughs MacDuffie. “This whole area is so friendly that it sometimes seems unreal in comparison to what we have seen in the past.” The new team at Batawa Ski Hill shares MacDuffie’s belief that it’s important to take the guests’ fun seriously. “I am happy to be part of this great new team that Heather Candler, Batawa General Manager, has assembled. I’m really excited for this season to get started,” notes MacDuffie. Working with a team of great people, combined with the new investments in hill night lighting, chalet renovations and other hill improvements, have made this an exciting year to join the ski hill team. And the dropping temperatures bode well for a great winter. The Ski Hill is now in its last month of season pass discount sales. Beginning December 2 the full season pass rates kick in so community members are encouraged to get their passes before the end of November. Registrations have begun for the ski and snowboard lessons beginning over the Christmas holidays. For more information or to book lessons, contact 613-398-6568 or admin@ batawaskihill.com.

In Memory

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. A part of us went with you, the day God took you home. If tears could build a stairway, and heartaches make a lane, we’d walk our way to heaven, and bring you back again. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, in our hearts you hold a place no one could ever fill.
