Smitty’s Wish kicks things off in festive fashion

By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - The Smitty’s Wish elves were out in force Saturday night escorting Santa Claus along a night-time parade route in Havelock and kicking off the big push for donations to this year’s Christmas giving campaign. “This is the start of the excitement. The parade kicks it off,� said chief elf and longtime Smitty’s Wish volunteer Miz Watson. “We’ve got lots of elves eager to help and raring to go. “This is our first big ‘getting us out there,’� Watson said on a surprisingly mild night that included a dash of light drizzle. Last year’s parade was characterized by frigid weather and the start of winter’s long deep-freeze. “Santa’s checking his list

and we’re getting our names together,� she said of the township-wide campaign that brings Christmas cheer to local families and area seniors. Watson figures that with children, seniors and hampers the Smitty’s campaign easily reaches over 250 people. Last year’s campaign brought presents to over 100 local children and 118 area seniors. There were also 40 hampers delivered. In all, the elves wrapped over 500 presents. The Smitty’s Wish campaign is one of the area’s great success stories and is the wonderful legacy of Bob Smith. Smith was the original “Smitty Claus� delivering toys and gifts to local families Please see “Smitty’s� page 4

Havelock welcomes Santa in style Santa Claus got a rousing reception during his much-anticipated visit to Havelock Saturday night for the village’s annual Santa parade. Unlike last year’s frigid temperatures, spectators along the route enjoyed mild weather with just a light bit of rain in the mix. The parade was a colourful and musical event with no fewer than three bands providing festive tunes along the route. Photo: Bill Freeman Please see more parade photos page 4

from the back of an all-terrain vehicle for over 20 years. When he passed away 13 years ago, his wife Norma and friends were determined to carry on his legacy and the Smitty’s Wish campaign was born. The Havelock Santa Claus parade was a chance for the Smitty’s team to remind residents of this year’s campaign and also give them a chance to make parade-side donations. “It’s a good thing to give back and the community is very supportive,� says Watson. “They’re knocking at the door asking if there is anything they can do to help.� Service organizations, churches, groups and residents alike get behind Smitty’s Wish in a way that is deeply gratifying, she says. The Havelock Lions, for instance, will be using their Christmas dance as a fund raiser for the campaign. Santa Claus and his elves will be delivering their goodies to local families on December 22. If you would like to make a donation or need more information about this year’s campaign call Cathy at 705-778-2425.

Church. “It’s all increased,” she said. The pay-off is the satisfaction in helping children in some small way achieve a moment of happiness. “Some say I can only do one box or 15 boxes but I say ‘that’s 15 children standing there or one child standing there that’s going to get a box.’ I get goosebumps. “I think of all the kids, the 550 children [those boxes represent].” Bennett also says that for children in Canada, packing a shoe box broadens their understanding of the world. “For the kids here it is a real learning experience for them to put themselves in those other kids’ shoes. They don’t really understand.” A lot of the children who receive boxes have no parents, live in constant need and face daily challenges no one should ever have to deal with regardless of age, says Bennett. “This little box brightens their day.” Each shoe box contains things like school supplies, hygiene items, toys and candy. “To have that box of goodies is a real treat and I always like to pack it with candy. I just love doing it.” Next year Bennett expects more businesses to be involved in Operation Christmas Child. “There is lots of room to expand.” In 2013, Canadians donated 664,066 shoe boxes; worldwide there were 10 million boxes delivered to more than 100 different countries.

News - Norwood - Reaching across the globe to deliver a tiny bit of happiness into lives scarred by need is one of the unifying forces behind Operation Christmas Child, says local co-ordinator Ilona Bennett who’s once again bowled over by the generosity of supporters in the area. Bennett helped collect nearly 600 shoeboxes this year filled with childfriendly items and she’s humbled by the result. “It went really well this year and everyone was very responsive to packing boxes,” Bennett told The Independent as she prepared to transport gift boxes to Peterborough and then to the giant warehouse in Kitchener where tens of thousands of boxes are readied for shipment overseas. Every year new groups

and individuals get involved in the program, run by the American-based nondenominational Christian evangelical organization Samaritan’s Purse since 1993, and that adds to the overall total, she says. Bennett says she’s always pleased when she sees young people deliver boxes and was heartened by the response from Norwood District High School where close to 50 boxes and over $300 was donated as well as Havelock Belmont Public School where Grade 8 students led the charge. Bennett has been a local co-ordinator since 1998 and has “learned to reach out to different organizations with presentations.” The local numbers do fluctuate because some people take their boxes directly to Peterborough but this year people from Peter-

Promises, promises

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, At the recent G20 in Oz, Canada and the others promised to crack down on tax evasion and corruption. Sounded good but back in the real world, we prefer to avoid the tax avoidance part except for small business and those “extreme envi-

ronmentalist groups.” The too big to charge syndrome kicks in when real money is in sight. Richard “I am not a crook” Nixon apparently wanted to use the revenue department to get his enemies, but was turned down by the IRS head. The World Bank has blacklisted 250 large corpora-

tions under its fraud and corruption policy. Of these 250, it turns out 117 are Canadian, SNC-Lavalin being the most well known here, yet taxpayers are still doing business with them through our government. On the corruption scale, our mining companies must be well up there.

In British Columbia, the LNG companies are apparently owed more in tax credits than they would have paid in royalties, not counting the infrastructure supplied free by the taxpayer. In the north, the Yellowknife Giant Mine, having declared bankruptcy a while ago leaving a huge mess of poison behind, is costing the taxpayer a cool billion in cleanup costs to deal with the 237,000 tons of arsenic trioxide (enough to kill every human on the planet). The ongoing costs will entail freezing it in the ground for the next 100 years after which we don’t expect to be around. It will take about 25 years to freeze it all. May I suggest solar panels to provide the electricity? In the same vein, we have nuclear waste, deadly for a million plus years, possibly being buried next to the water supply for millions of USA and Canadian citizens at the taxpayers’ expense. Or how about the Mount Polly

tailings pond disaster. The same company owns another larger operation with similar structure. Or looming larger still, there are the Alberta tar sands tailings lakes, with again no intent to in any way reduce their toxicity other than to let them leak into the Athabasca as they continue to grow in size. Almost insignificant but closer to home we have the Deloro mine site, costing tens of millions over the years. Next we have FIPA, the trade deal with China, which have investor rights built in. When we wake up and try to protect our environment, or working conditions or any of the other laws passed by the three levels of government in this country, investors will be able to sue our backside off for lost “potential profits.” Is this not corruption of the highest order to allow a transfer of sovereignty from Canada to global corporations, who can then over-rule the laws of the land, and not even have to go through the

Canadian courts to do so? Instead, it would be dealt with in secret by selected corporate lawyers and the results “may” be kept secret. How corrupt is that? Meanwhile, we are treated to the useless monthly mailings at our expense from our Conservative MPs saying, we are for motherhood, tax cuts, and apple pie, and would you please identify your party of choice so that we can update our databank for appropriate use in the next election. Mr. Sona will be cooling his heels in jail over the Conservative robo calls for three months plus good behaviour but there are plenty of other enthusiastic stalwarts willing to be thrown under the bus, if needed. The continual attack on our democracy has to rate as the worst kind of corruption. Paul Whittaker, Gilmour

Syrian refugees and the Harper government R0012997229

Dear Editor, The following is an open letter to Daryl Kramp MP. Thousands murdered and millions displaced and yet the best our obstructionist government can do is bomb the country and state they can work with Assad, the bloody dictator who has barrel-bombed his own people and is the root of the uprising. Canada’s foreign and humanitarian policy is a bloody disgrace, playing to an ostensibly Christian powerbase, which is in reality anything but. Germany and Sweden have accepted thousands of Syrian refugees. Others have overwhelmed neighbouring countries such as Jordan, Leba-

non, Turkey, Italy and Greece, which are less able to support this influx and the doors are now closing. Canada, with its wealth and wide open spaces …? We have increasingly come across as just another greedy and jingoist oil state. This country should be ashamed! Carl V. Ehrke, Belleville P.S. I might add that our national government brings in a large number of foreigners to provide cheap labour in coffee shops and the like. These people are temporary workers denied eventual citizenship. Refugees apparently need not apply.

The coming CETA litigation boom

Ukraine cock-up

Editorial - This is what former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, subsequently driven from office by mass protests in Kiev, said to German Chancellor Angela Merkel just one year ago, at the start of the crisis. It was recorded by a Lithuanian television crew, eavesdropping on the conversation with a Gwynne Dyer directional mike, at the European Union summit in Vilnius where Yanukovych announced that he was not going to sign an EU-Ukraine trade deal. “The economic situation in Ukraine is very hard, and we have big difficulties with Moscow,” Yanukovych explained to Merkel in Russian (which they both speak fluently). “I would like you to hear me. I was left alone for three and a half years in very unequal conditions with Russia … one to one.” The Ukrainian president was not overthrown by a “fascist” plot, as Russian propaganda would have us believe, nor was NATO hoping to make Ukraine a member. (Indeed, NATO had repeatedly told the previous Ukrainian government, which was very pro-Western, that under no circumstances could it ever join the Western alliance.) Exactly one year into the crisis, it’s useful to remember what really happened. The basic question you have to ask about any international crisis is: conspiracy or cock-up? The Ukrainian crisis definitely falls into the latter category. Nobody planned it, and nobody wanted it. Here’s how they stumbled into it. Yanukovych inherited the negotiations for a trade deal with the EU from the previous government when he returned to the presidency in 2010. (He was overthrown by the “Orange Revolution” in 2004, after winning a rigged election, but in 2010 he won narrowly but cleanly.) And he didn’t break off the talks with the EU because that would have alienated half the country: the western, mostly Ukrainian-speaking part. Yanukovych was a typical post-Soviet political figure, deeply corrupt and almost comically greedy—the presidential palace he lived in on the banks of the Dnieper was so lavish it could have been in the Middle East—but he was a competent politician. Almost all his votes had come from the eastern and southern, mostly Russian-speaking parts of the country, but he knew that he couldn’t simply ignore the west. On the other hand, he couldn’t ignore Moscow either. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin saw the EU as a stalking horse for NATO, and was trying to persuade Yanukovych to join his own “Eurasian

Economic Union” (EEU) instead. Moreover, Russia had huge economic leverage, since it provided most of Ukraine’s energy and bought half of Ukraine’s exports (mainly coal, steel and heavy industrial goods made in eastern Ukraine). So for three years Yanukovych temporised, trying to get financial guarantees out of the EU that would make up for the economic punishment Putin would inflict if Ukraine signed the trade treaty. The EU wouldn’t budge: there would be no special help for Ukraine. It would just have to take its punishment, Yanukovych was told, but the trade deal would be good for the country in the long term. Politicians have to live in the short term, however, and in 2012-2013 Ukrainian exports to Russia fell by half as Putin turned the screws tighter. Those exports mostly provided income for people in industrial eastern Ukraine, i.e. Yanukovych’s own supporters. The EU had left him “alone for three and a half years in very unequal conditions with Russia … one to one”— so in late 2013 he made his choice: break off the EU talks, and sign up with Putin’s EEU instead. Did Yanukovych foresee that there would be big demonstrations against him in Kiev, where people had pinned their hopes on association with the EU? Of course he did, but he probably didn’t foresee that the protests would be fuelled by the hamfisted resort to violence by his own officials. He certainly didn’t foresee that he would ultimately be overthrown—nor did Putin, who had put him in that impossible position. All the subsequent escalations of the conflict in Ukraine—the Russian annexation of Crimea, the pro-Moscow revolts in the two eastern provinces with the largest ethnic Russian minorities, the direct Russian military intervention that saved those revolts from collapse last August—have been driven by Putin’s determination to reverse his original error. If Ukraine cannot be brought back into Moscow’s sphere of influence, then Putin’s strategy is to neutralise and paralyse it by maintaining a permanent “frozen conflict” in the east. In coldly rational terms, Ukraine’s best strategy now would be to abandon those two provinces, Donetsk and Luhansk, which are basically open-air industrial museums, and leave it to Russia to subsidise them instead. But it’s not going to do that, because sovereign states never give up territory voluntarily. Realistically, therefore, Kiev’s best option is to strengthen the current ceasefire and let the front lines congeal and stabilise into de facto borders, while maintaining its legal claim to the two provinces. It remains to be seen if Moscow will even let that happen.

Editorial - After five years of negotiations, Canada and the European Union announced on September 26, 2014, that the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) had been finalized. For the first time since negotiations began, the official text was also released, finally giving citizens on both sides of the Atlantic a look at the complete agreement, which faces growing opposition—particularly in Europe—centred on concerns about CETA’s investment protection rules. These protections, similar to the controversial Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), are given teeth by an investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism which allows foreign investors to seek unlimited financial compensation before international tribunals for government measures that they believe interfere with their right to profit. More than a dozen organizations in Europe and Canada this week jointly released the first comprehensive analysis of CETA’s investment protections in a new report, Trading Away Democracy: How CETA’s investment protection rules threaten the public good in Canada and the EU. The report warns that CETA’s investment chapter—which in significant ways provides investors with even greater rights than exist under NAFTA—could “unleash a corporate litigation boom against Canada, the EU and individual EU member states, and could dangerously thwart government efforts to protect citizens and the environment.” For Canada, which has already been sued 35 times under NAFTA and has paid damages to foreign investors totalling C$171.5 million and is facing billions more in current challenges, the report points to CETA’s expansive new corporate rights in the financial sector. “The risks for Canada of being sued by banks, insurers and holding companies will increase significantly with CETA,” the report found, pointing to high levels of European investment in these sectors. “Also, most investment is coming to Canada from exactly those EU countries where investors are notorious claimants in investor-state disputes: the Netherlands and the UK.” The report also cautions that European investors—which account for a quarter of all FDI into Canada—are the most frequent users of ISDS globally. Of the 568 known cases of investorstate challenges, European-based investors have launched 299 of them, or over half of all known suits. U.S. investors account for an additional 127 cases. In other words, if CETA is ratified Canada

will have investor protection rights agreements with countries that account for three-quarters of all ISDS challenges. Trading Away Democracy warns that Europe is also taking a major risk with CETA, finding that regulations in the mining and oil and gas sectors—where Canadian investment in Europe is significant—are at particular risk of challenge by Canadian-based mining corporations. More than one-third of ISDS cases worldwide are related to mining, oil and gas projects, and Canadian mining companies—which have a global reputation as “far and away the worst offenders in environmental, human rights and other abuses around the world”—are already engaged in a number of controversial projects in the EU that are facing stiff opposition from local residents and environmentalists. Also of significance to Europeans concerned about the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) currently being negotiated between the European Union and the United States is the finding that CETA will act as a Trojan horse in Europe for U.S. multinational corporations with subsidiaries in Canada. These corporations will be able to use their “substantial business interests” to launch challenges against EU regulations even if public pressure in Europe results in similar protections being excluded from TTIP. This is of particular concern for Europeans given the high level of foreign ownership in the Canadian economy, where almost 40 per cent of all large enterprises are foreign owned and almost 60 per cent of annual foreign investment in Canada from 1985 to 2014 was from the U.S. CETA would also allow Canadian corporations with a presence in Europe, such as Bombardier, and European corporations with Canadian arms, including Shell and BP, to sue their own governments over measures that interfere with their profits. Increasing opposition to ISDS has been met by the Canadian government and European Commission with a propaganda drive focused on the cosmetic reforms to the investment chapter in the proposed agreement, which the report argues will provide little meaningful protection from abuse by investors. With CETA being presented as a fait accompli, subject to minor adjustments during the legal review that is expected to take most of 2015 to complete, the report concludes by calling on legislators in Canada, the EU and European member states to reject any CETA text which includes investor-state arbitration.

Community Christmas Concert celebrates festive season News - Campbellford - The 45th anniversary of Campbellford’s Community Christmas Concert heralds the start of the festive season. “It has evolved into being the first Christmas event that involves the whole community,” said Margaret Macmillan, who has participated in the event since it started. “The first one was a venture, we had no idea how it would do, but it caught on,” she said, as she gathered with other women from other local churches to talk about the upcoming celebration. “That first concert everyone was looking forward to it wondering how it would turn out, and it was a great success, the church was absolutely full and it has been a success every year since,” said June Seaborn of Christ Church Anglican. She sings in the church choir. In the early days of the concert, she sang a duet with Chris Whitfield, also of the Christ Church Anglican choir. “We’ve been singing together for years ever since,” said Chris.

“This concert was the original idea of Mrs. Audrey McBride, wife of the Reverend William McBride, pastor of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at the time,” Margaret explained. “It’s a tradition that we started with her. She was a musician herself, played the piano and organ.” The first concert was held on December 3, 1969. “Sponsored by the Presbyterian Ladies’ Association Mrs. McBride organized and created the successful beginning of this annual event.” While talking to Margaret the memories of the early concerts came flooding back. “When it came down to finding somebody from St. Andrew’s to perform nobody came forward and Mrs. McBride was having a tough time so I said to her we are doing pantomimes at the drama club and I could write a script and do a pantomime,” she said, explaining how she got involved. “I had a little table, put an apron on, did this all in mime you understand … and the one skit was making the Christmas cake and the other

Campbellford Baptist Church choir. The concert rotates among the three churches with the largest seating capacity: St. Mary’s, St. John’s and St. Andrew’s, all in Campbellford. “The spirit of this wonderful concert grows each year and is considered by many to be the event of the Christmas season which draws us together as a community to

was decorating the tree. Both of the skits were written into it that they would end in disaster, I dropped eggs on the floor and the tree fell over,” she said with a big grin. In that first concert there was not only singing by the members of the local church choirs but some of the participants played instruments such as a recorder and organ. “There was a piper too at one of our earlier concerts,” she said. This year’s concert will include choirs

from most of the area churches including St. Andrew’s Presbyterian, Christ Church Anglican, St. John’s United, Campbellford Baptist, St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the Seymour Charge (Hoards United, Stanwood United) and Burnbrae Presbyterian. As well the Campbellford Citizens’ Choir led by Ross Cotton will perform. “It’s just a good community get together … the reason for the season,” said Evelyn Whitaker, who sings in the

Everyone is welcome to attend this free event and a social hour is held following the event, in the church’s lower hall.

Thinking about peace at the Early Years Centre

News - Hastings - Far too many children and families live in places that have only a passing acquaintance with peace, forcing them to flee homelands ablaze with violence, intolerance and hatred. The YMCA’s Peace Week is a laudable counterweight to that sad reality and children, parents and caregivers at the Ontario Early Years Centre embraced the opportunity celebrating the concept and practice of peace in craft, song, stories, food and conversation. “Acts of peace are acts of social responsibility rooted in empathy for others and a commitment to one’s community,” says the YMCA and that’s the message the Hastings OEYC affirmed. “We started last week [because] peace is related to Remembrance Day. We started activities with what ‘what does peace mean to you?’ from a child’s perspective. Here, it’s sharing messages from adults to children,” said Angie Nestoruk, early learning specialist at the Hastings OEYC. “Peace sings joy into the soul,” said one of the messages placed on a special bulletin board display featuring a globe and a cultural rainbow of faces. “Peace: the ability to love one’s self and live with the ability to accept others who are different from ourselves,” said another.

The Centre held a peace breakfast and invited their neighbours from the Hastings Library and Community Care to join them. It also took to heart the notion of “paying it forward” which the YMCA is celebrating with a special bracelet that they hope people will pass on to someone who has committed an “act of peace.” “Honouring acts of peace helps spread awareness that peace is an active state of being not a passive one,” the YMCA says. The YMCA even parsed the word peace, “P” standing for participation; “E” for empathy; “A” for advocacy; “C” for community” and “E” for empowerment. Participation is “getting involved and encouraging others to get involved in community building activities while empathy is “listening and understanding diverse perspectives to create a sense of belonging for all. Advocacy, the YMCA says, is “making the case for positive change in the community.” The sense of community stands for “building and strengthening community connections and capacity.” Empowerment is “inspiring others to foster peace and helping them gain the skills and tools to succeed.” “Peace = hope for the future,” another Hastings message said. “The only way you can get that is by instilling those val-

ues at an early age,” caregiver Sherrill Wardle said. “There’s so much nonpeaceful activity with older kids and [aggression] can start early with the younger ones,” added Jeannette Watkins. “The only way you’re going to get peaceful kids is to start when they’re this age. How else are you go-

ing to do it?” “Unless you do it when they’re young that’s what you’re going to wind up with,” added Wardle. It’s also important to remind preschoolers that the world is more than just them, she added, and the focus on cultural diversity at the OEYC is a reflection of that.

News - Campbellford - They’re the leaders of tomorrow who have already proved they can handle the role while still attending high school. Campbellford District High School recognized their contributions to the school community in 2013-2014 by honouring them with Peer Leadership Awards at its annual celebration of excellence, the Junior Awards, held last week. The recipients—Faith Begbie, Rahul Patel and members of the Social Justice League—were nominated by their fellow students whose tributes were read out by CDHS staff member Trish Wood. Begbie came up with the idea to hold a workshop for students on self-esteem and worked with the Red Cross in teaching strategies. “Because of her we decided to present our information at different schools,� Wood said. “She also has done much for the community regarding mental health issues [and] even started her own clothing business,� Wood said, to raise money for local clinics that help people having difficulties. Begbie, chair of the Social Justice League, has also organized concerts by bands to raise public awareness about mental health as well as money for programs. Patel is a “very involved student,� whose wide-ranging efforts, including being secretary of student council, “make our school a better place,� Wood said. Outgoing and funny, he “cares for his fellow students and tries to help people improve themselves.� Patel is also involved in the Social Justice League, the Youth Advisory Committee, and yearbook committee, and is “always ready to lend a helping hand,� Wood said. His stellar organizational skills “and positive attitude make him an amazing asset to any group. He is a true inspiration to his peers.� The Social Justice League also “is constantly setting an example for the community at Campbellford District High School,� Wood said.

NDHS students committed to end bullying

News - Norwood - Their pledge said it all: a complete commitment to the “initiative to end bullying.” Norwood District High School students painted their school pink Thursday in a unified show of support for efforts to end bullying in school and society and to promote an atmosphere of tolerance and acceptance. The “Pink Day” initiative, delayed because of last week’s welcometo-winter snowstorm, was part of a week-long anti-bullying and bullying prevention campaign celebrated across the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board. “We want to create awareness about bullying and try to put an end to it and by wearing pink we’re a unity, we’re one,” Student Council president Megan Wilson said as a steady stream of students signed the pledge. “We’re very proud and energetic about it; it’s something people really care about,” she said. “At one point in our lives, whether we know someone or it happens [to us] we are bullied or unfortunately know the bully. This is awareness that we can put an end to it. We take the pledge very seriously.” The pledge, said Wilson, was crafted “uniquely for our school; this is our school pledge.” NDHS, she says, has a good “tolerance level.

“The overall school environment is phenomenal. I get very excited about things like this and spirit days and spirit weeks because students all take it so seriously and they’re all into it.” NDHS students “absolutely” feel they can lean on each other for support, she said emphatically. The fact NDHS is a small school means students know each other and there’s a genuine sense of camaraderie that stretches from Grade 9 to Grade 12, says Wilson. “I know people in larger schools who don’t feel like they know everybody but in this community I think everyone has someone to go to. It’s very open. People can come up to me and say, ‘I have a problem’ and I have no problem helping them.” The Grade 9 welcome day organized by Grade 12 students is an example of the open-arms introduction first-year students receive, says Wilson. It’s an icebreaker that allows the school’s youngest students to get to know those in upper grades. Teacher Diane Graham was impressed with the students’ effort. “[It] demonstrated how truly committed our students are towards creating a safe environment here at NDHS,” said Graham. Each day students dressed in a way that helped illustrate their message, Graham noted.

Among those signing the NDHS anti-bullying pledge were (front row, left to right), Eric Sicker, Kara Sicker, Kirsten Batchelor-Driscoll, Cian Ceranowicz; back row (left to right), Alexa Vanderhorst, teacher Diane Graham, Emily Buchanan, Carlo Quiñones, teacher Rebecca Brinkman, Jake Krabbe, Taylor Pedersen and Megan Wilson.

Mitts for Kids another success, but more volunteers, wool needed News - Havelock - More wool and additional volunteers are needed to help Mitts for Kids replenish its supply of colourful handmade mittens and toques. The busy group of knitters produced nearly 1,000 pairs of mittens and toques this year and by the end of the Coats for Kids and Adults Too/Meet Your Needs distribution day in Havelock the group had run out of winter accessories to hand out.

“We had close to 1,000 pairs of mitts this year and it’s not enough. Today we’re going to run out and there won’t be any to give to the schools which is unfortunate,” said Linda Topping, the group’s organizer, during the combined Coats for Kids and Adults Too/ Meet Your Needs Day at the Havelock Town Hall. In past years, Coats For Kids was a separate event with toques and mittens given to people picking up coats and snow pants. “It has gone very well,” said Top-

ping who also put out a call for more knitters and donated wool. “Anybody who would like to knit I will show them how if they’d like to learn,” she said. There are currently 26 members of the Mitts for Kids team and Topping says some new members would take some of the workload off the volunteers many of whom are elderly. “They haven’t been able to do as many,” she said. She says the group will probably

Former municipal office not an option now for historical society site By Bill Freeman

News - Westwood – A suggestion that the former Asphodel Township municipal office in Westwood be used as a storage centre for the Asphodel-Norwood Historical Society is not an option at the moment because of the prospect of utilizing the site as rental space. Until 2013, the Historical Society had used the lower level of the Pine Street Centre as a partial storage location but when the building was declared surplus and sold, artefacts from the collection were moved to a room on the main floor of the public works building for display with additional storage space upstairs. “Although not ideal, it was the best arrangement at the time,” said CAO Joe van Koeverden. The municipality had explored the possibility of partnering with the high school using some of its empty space for safe storage of the historical society’s valuable collection but were shocked to learn that it would cost $10,000 a year. There were growing concerns about the safe storage of the Society’s collection at the Pine Street Centre, especially in a basement location which might be

vulnerable to water damage. The move to the public works building and a climate-controlled space was considered a viable option at the time. Having a safe storage location for artefacts, documents, family histories and other items is critical because it means local residents would feel more comfortable donating things to the Historical Society rather than storing them in their own homes. The public works building also allows the Society to bring all of its display cases together in one location. The organization purchased four, six-shelf chrome units that are each capable of holding 3,600 pounds of material.

Mr. van Koeverden says the Westwood hall has “rental possibilities that could provide some economic advantage to the area. “An option of this sort will hopefully be presented to council,” he said.

buy some mitts that can be donated to local elementary schools. “We have never been with Meet Your Needs before. I think it works well; people come to one location and get what they need. It seems pretty good. It’s good I guess that the [mittens] are gone and not sitting around in storage.” Topping says some younger people do knit but don’t produce the same volume as the veteran knitters who take up their hooks and needles 12 months of

the year. Offering a variety of handmade items to local families is “deeply satisfying,” says Topping. “I haven’t been knitting as much as I have in previous years. I deliver wool, pick up mitts, size and sort them. I think I need to be knitting more.” Anyone interested in donating some wool can drop material off at the Havelock Community Care office on Concession Street or they can contact Topping at 705-778-7842.

Bullying awareness and prevention a focus for students at Kent Public School

By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - An awareness and prevention campaign about bullying was the focus of the Me to We group at Kent Public School last week as part of a Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPR) initiative. “I think it’s important to bring a focus on bullying because there are kids that are picked on and they don’t feel like they fit in in school and they don’t feel when they wake up it’s a safe place to go every day.” Those are the words of one Me to We member, Isaiah Carlen, a Grade 8 student at Kent.

He and the rest of the group created posters that were put on display in the school to bring awareness to the problem of bullying. He was holding a poster that said: “You are not alone.” Me to We is a global organization that encourages people to make socially conscious and eco-friendly decisions and it has been embraced around the world by young people everywhere, particularly students. “What’s important about Me to We is giving a chance for people to succeed and to be educated, for people who normally wouldn’t have a chance and giving them a voice when sometimes they don’t

always have one,” said Elijah Brahaney, a Grade 8 student with the school’s Me to We group. The anti-bullying campaign is just one of the issues the group tackles head on. “I agree with Isaiah. It’s just because there’s these kids that are getting bullied and they don’t feel welcome and they feel really horrible when they wake up,” said Zoe Carlen, a Grade 6 student. “If you see it happening we are told to tell an adult so they can sort it out and help to stop the bullying,” she added. Elijah was also holding a poster. He talked about raising the

awareness about bullying and said, “I think this message is important because this poster says Kent Public School … a bully free zone and that’s what we’re going for. “We want this to be the school in Campbellford that you don’t get bullied at. You can come here and feel safe every day,” he added. Elijah pointed out that students are encouraged to talk to adults at the school if they see bullying happen or are being bullied. “We also have a bully box where you can put in somebody’s name [anonymously] so if you need to talk or to be talked to you can sit down and talk to someone about it and they can help you out,” he explained. When asked if they had ever been bullied, all three replied yes. “The board participates in three major anti-bullying initiatives each year, as part of our continuous efforts to prevent bullying and cyber-bullying,” stated Chairperson Diane

The Me to We group at Kent Public School brought the bullying awareness and prevention campaign initiated by the school board to their fellow students with posters and announcements during the week: from left, front row: RJ Watson, Isaiah Carlen, Zoe Saito, Elijah Brahaney and Noel Bannon; middle row: Jordan Macdonald, Valerie Holland, Nicole Slain and Hailey Snarr; back row: Karly Holland, Emily Taylor, Emma MacPherson, Rachel Stapley and Brianna Payne.

Lloyd. “Bullying is such an insidious part of our society, but that does not make it acceptable—not in our classrooms, hallways or buses, and not on our playgrounds or sports fields,” she added. She also talked about online bullying that takes place outside of school hours. “Unfortunately, social media and the Internet—which provide wonder-

ful teaching and learning opportunities—also serve as another venue in which young people can bully one another. We encourage our students to come forward if they see or hear anything inappropriate online, so that we can take action immediately.” As part of last week’s awareness campaign Hillcrest Public School students were encouraged to commit random acts of kindness throughout the week.

The latter enables seniors to remain in their homes “or to make the transition to other care a little easier,� Russell said. The additional services came about “in large part� because of the support provided by donors such as the Busy Bees, he said. “Your donations do make a difference at the hospital.� The $20,000 was made to the foundation’s eighth annual Angels of Care campaign, which is raising funds for the purchase of priority equipment for the surgical services area. “We feel the hospital is a big part of our community,� said Thea Dunk, co-chair of the Busy Bees with her husband Bruce. “It’s very vital that we keep it here.� The season just ended for the yard sale, held three days a week from mid-May to Thanksgiving; “[it] was our best year,� Dunk added.

SPORTS

Percy Peewees continue unbeaten streak

Sports - Warkworth - Percy Peewees continued their unbeaten streak with two wins last weekend, one at home and one in Apsley. Last Friday night the Bulldogs had a big win at home against the Ennismore Eagles with a 9 - 1 score. The Eagles tied Percy earlier in the year back in Ennismore, so the Bulldogs were happy to bring home a win. Percy scored three goals in each period with Ennismore getting their only tally in

the first. Goals were scored by Bulldogs Riley Mckenzie (2) with assists from Gabe Whalen and Graison Morrison on the first and Austin Greenly on the second. Ryan Turney scored a pair as well with assists from Noah Kelly and Sebastian Russell. Tosh Jamieson and Riley Fairman had a pair of goals each with help from Kain McIvor and Michael Burgess. The last marker was scored unassisted by Burgess. Madison Waldie was outstanding in the

Bulldogs’ net, coming up with some big saves to keep the Eagles to 1 on the scoreboard. Saturday the Bulldogs travelled to Apsley to take on the Flames. Percy came out on top again with a 4 1 win. Percy scored first and kept the lead through the rest of the game with Apsley scoring late in the first period. Goals scored by Bulldogs, Mckenzie, Jamieson, Turney and McIvor. Again a great outing by goaltender Mason Waldie.

The Bulldogs have had a very great year so far. The players, parents and coaching staff have been very positive. The players have concentrated on core skills such as skating, passing and shooting, but have also done a lot of work on special skills and it shows from their record, says Coach Jake Whalen. Every game the players continue to improve their skills with parents helping to track each player’s stats (passes

completed, shots on net, faceoff wins and losses, breakouts etc). “It is so awesome to have the parents’ support in tracking these skills so each week the coaching staff can let each player know how well they are doing and where they are excelling. The kids love to hear where they are excelling and ask coaches each week where they are at. “It has been a great year so far and we hope to continue the fun,” he said.

Rebels’ good week ends on sour note

Sports - Campbellford - It was a good week for the Campbellford Rebels, although it ended on a sour note. The team won twice by 6 - 4 scores before losing 7 - 1 to Amherstview on Sunday The Jets scored four times on 16 power plays, while blanking their visitors when they held the man advantage on seven occasions. The home team was leading 6 - 0 when Karn Dart scored for Campbellford at 17:56 in the second period. Amherstview outshot the Rebels 35 -

Campbellford picked up four points in the Empire B Junior C Hockey League by downing Napanee November 18 and winning at home two days later against the Picton Pirates. The Rebels scored on all three of their power play opportunities in the Napanee match, with Jeremiah Doherty connecting twice and Jon Samis once.

Also scoring for Campbellford were Jacob Bennett, Nick Ferguson and Josh Hodge. Doherty and Bennett also collected two assists, while Ferguson and Hodge garnered one apiece. William Lameroux assisted on three goals. Cole Mahoney earned the win, stopping 32 of 36 shots. The Rebels took the lead three times against the Pirates who fought back to tie the game each time. But Camp-

Flames win pair to open season

Sports - Campbellford - Just two games into the new season for the Kawartha High School Hockey League, the Campbellford District High School Flames have shown consistency: they win, and it’s by a 4 - 1 score.

The wins over Holy Cross and Crestwood put the Flames into a first-place tie with Cobourg West in the 12-team league. Campbellford’s goal scorers in the two games were Dawson Turcotte (2), Blaine Thompson,

Stew Battman, Jakob Brahaney, Connor Petherick, Eathan Perry and Kendal Nicholson. Dawson Ellis had three assists. Campbellford’s next home game is December 11 at 1 p.m. against Lindsay.

Another Subban is starring for Bulls Sports - Belleville - Could the Subban family make it three for three when it comes to spots on the Canadian national junior hockey team? Hockey Canada is expected to announce a list of players invited to a tryout camp for the team that will represent the county at the World Junior Hockey Championships in Montreal over the holidays. The Belleville Bulls star defenceman Jordan Subban is by no means a lock to make the team—he wasn’t invited to the development camp for the junior team held in the summer—but his play of late may get him some consideration. The 19-year-old from Rexdale, Ontario, is the Ontario Hockey League’s top-scoring defenceman. After scoring against Barrie on Sunday, he had 12 goals and 13 assists, for 25 points in 24 games. If he makes the team he’d be following in the footsteps of his two older brothers, Malcolm and P.K., who earned spots on the junior team while playing for the Bulls. Malcolm was a goaltender for Canada in the 2013 World Juniors in

Russia and minded the net in Belleville from 2009 to 2013. As for P.K, you’ve probably heard of him. Now a Norris-winning defenceman with the Montreal Canadiens and one of the game’s most popular players, P.K. played for the Bulls from 2005 to 2009. He was part of Canada’s gold-medal winning teams from 2008 and 2009. A good omen for Jordan Subban was that he was invited to play in the Subway

Super Series game held on November 17 in Kingston, where he helped the OHL allstar team defeat Russia 5 - 1. The Bulls were also represented in the game by forward Remi Elie, who scored one of the team’s goals. Elie is the Bulls leading scorer so far this year. The Dallas Stars prospect has 11 goals and 14 assists in 24 games, which makes him 15th in the league in scoring.

News - Quinte West - The Trenton Woodlot Conference celebrated its 25th anniversary at the Knights of Columbus Hall on November 21. “It’s quite remarkable,” said Jim Pedersen from the Hastings Stewardship Council. “We appreciate the sup-

port over the last two and a half decades.” Larry McTaggert from the Bancroft Area Forest Industry Association added, “Trees are amazing. They have been here as long as the planet.” Guest speaker Peter Hynard said he has been a forester for 40 years and

a woodlot owner in Hastings County. He talked about the history of the land, including the rocks and the trees, and how to find out their age. “Don’t believe everything you hear,” he said. “Sometimes you can find real evidence in the dates on headstones in old graveyards.”

A cake celebrating the 25th anniversary was cut by keynote speaker Diana Beresford-Kroeger, backed up by several members of the Hastings Stewardship Council. Beresford-Kroeger said she is interested in making global changes to save our planet, including treasuring

our trees. “Take my hands,” she said. “You are important people. Politicians are not needed here. Just hold my hands.” As a little girl in Ireland, she was close to the freshest water in the whole world. Now it is the greatest

CP Holiday Train stops in region November 29

Events - Quinte-area families will have another opportunity to get into the Christmas spirit on Saturday, November 29. And all they have to do is visit some designated train track locations in their community. The CP Holiday Train is making stops in Belleville, Quinte West and Brighton on that day. It first stops in Belleville at 10 a.m. at Mile 91, west of the storage facility on Keegan Parkway. That’s right behind Belleville General Hospital and along Ki-

wanis Bayshore Park. It then stops in Trenton at 11:15 a.m. at RCAF County Road 21, on the south side of the railway crossing. Its next stop is in Brighton at 12:30 p.m. along Prince Edward Street, east of the railway crossing. The CP Holiday Train has been called North America’s longest rolling food bank fund raiser and since it started in 1999, it has raised close to $9.5 million and has generated 3.3 million pounds

of food for local food banks. Those who attend are encouraged to bring donations for their local food banks. They’ll then be treated to a music show featuring The Odds and Roxanne Potvin. The Odds are one of Canada’s most popular alternative rock bands, perhaps best known for their song Eat My Brain. Roxanne Potvin is a Junonominated singer-songwriter and blues artist. They’ll perform from a boxcar that’s been converted into a travelling stage.

contaminated water. She looks to the trees of Canada. “You have marvellous forests,” she said. She said we have to plant trees to protect our forests. “If you want land for your children and grandchildren, look after your forests,” she added. “They are green machines, farmers of the sun, banking carbon.” She said we have to get back the great trees. The black walnut is one of them, as well as the magnolia, the magical tree of the Hurons which has anti-inflammatory properties. She said there are 157 areas in the ocean that are highly toxic, each the size of New Jersey. “These are graveyards,” she said. “We will not allow this to happen to our forests.” She said the cause of ebola is cutting down of forest, taking away the trees that monkeys used which then spread the disease. Diana recalled fondly the one huge oak in Ireland still standing that was planted by the last King of Ireland and is now protected by a big, black bull that no one dares to pass. “I am a descendant of the Druids,” she admitted. “I was given their ancient ways of thinking.” The burr oak is another of the local trees that need to be preserved. It was the basis of bannock for the natives who also ground the acorns into flour. It is drought resistant.

The shag bark hickory was once used to make nut milk for cooking. The aboriginals who used it did not have Alzheimer’s or other aging diseases of the brain. “If you eat these nuts you will not have these diseases,” she said. “Eat a few nuts a day.” Black walnut was a medicinal tree for First Nations. It has an acid that has been used in treatment of cancers, by detoxifying the cells. She said to rub the crushed leaves on your arm to protect from breast cancer.

“Basswoods are the most important tree in your forest,” she added. “It makes poor wood but the blossoms feed all the pollinators. The crops depend on it. It will bump up your harvest by 35 per cent.” She said the flowers are healing and helpful for sleep. It also makes a greenish honey, the best in the world. Diana urged woodlot owners to be her ambassadors for the trees and to “hold hands across Canada.”

Events - On December 5 and 6 the Christmas story will come to life at Quinte Alliance Church as dozens of volunteers, dressed in period costumes will take guests back in time to retrace the steps that Mary and Joseph would have taken on the road to Bethlehem. Along the road, guests will interact with familiar characters like Caesar Augustus, Roman soldiers, shepherds, angels, tax collectors and innkeepers. They will also be able to see a variety of live animals and enjoy the sights and sounds of a bustling ancient marketplace. Following the walking tour, guests will be welcome to warm up inside with some refreshments, view a display of works by local artists, and perhaps join in the singing of a few Christmas carols. “Preparing for an event like the Road the Bethlehem is a huge undertaking for our church,” says Pastor Allan Langlois. “Our congregation has been working since early in the summer designing sets, edit-

Nativity scenes from around the world

News – Napanee - At this time of year, it’s a tradition to put up colourful lights and decorate Christmas trees, activities that have evolved over time. Many families also put up a nativity scene. It may be on the front lawn or on display inside our home; it usually consists of Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus, shepherds, wise men, maybe some sheep and other animals that you would find in a stable. For the past three years, The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints in Napanee has presented a Nativity Showcase for three days just before the holiday. And this year they’ll be doing it once again. On December 12 from 4 until 9 p.m. and on December 13 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., between 130 and 150 nativity scenes from over 20 countries will be on display in their

church at 501 Crouse Street. The figures in these beautiful nativity scenes are made from many different materials. One from Vietnam is made from colourful recycled magazine paper. Another from Kenya is made from banana peels. In one from Uganda, the figures are dressed in native tribal costumes. All are exquisitely made. The event is open to the public and there is no charge to attend this wonderful presentation. Light refreshments will be served. They invite you to bring a nonperishable food item for the local food bank. If you are travelling to visit family and friends, it’s worth the detour. Napanee is close to the 401 about a half hour west of Kingston. Take exit 579A on to Centre Street, and you are no more than five minutes away.

The Israeli Palestinian conflict focus of church presentation News - Campbellford - Witness to what is happening in the Israeli Palestinian conflict, the Reverend Noel Gordon brought a message to this community, sharing his story with others. Gordon recently returned from a three-month trip to the conflict-ridden area and was invited to talk about his experiences to a gathering hosted by St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Campbellford. “He has just completed his third study tour to Israel and Palestinian territory,� explained the Reverend Blaine Dunnett, pastor of St. Andrew’s church. “I felt he gave us a perspective from the Christian church in Palestine among the Palestinian Christians that indicated what is happening. That part of the story we don’t often hear. It gave a little balance to what we usually hear through the media and other forums,� he said. “The historical background he provided was very informa-

tive,� he added. About 25 people gathered at the church to listen to the Reverend Gordon, who made a PowerPoint presentation with photographs of the region he visited. All of this took place against a backdrop of recent reports that the Israeli Palestinian conflict may be moving toward a religious war. Gordon, who recently retired after 40 years serving at four churches, the last one in Bowmanville, has been to the conflict area eight or nine times, leading study trips. “I went there for the first time 47 years ago as a young man to work on an Israeli Kibbutz,� he told the Trent Hills Independent. “There’s been tremendous change since then.� Gordon travelled to Haifa in 1967, the largest city in northern Israel. He later took a job teaching at a boys secondary school run by a Christian church in the Palestinian Territory, in the City of Ramallah,

before he studied theology and became a minister. “It certainly opened my eyes to all sorts of things,â€? he said, and he has been returning to the region ever since. His presentation last week included his impressions of the region as he shared his experience. “What I was attempting to do was share some insights into the Palestine Israel conflict through the words of the authors of the Kairos Palestinian document,â€? he commented. Described as the Christian Palestinian’s word to the world about what is happening in Palestine, it was written in 2009 and titled “A Moment of Truth ‌ a word of faith, hope and love from the heart of Palestinian suffering.â€? “At the heart of the Palestinian suffering is the more than 47 years of illegal occupation of Palestinian territory by Israeli military,â€? said the Reverend Gordon, as he talked about people forced out of their homes

Amnesty International group to participate in Human Rights Day Events - Belleville - Those interested in justice and international issues can participate in what’s being called the world’s biggest human rights event, and they can do it not far from home. Belleville’s Amnesty International Group is participating in International Human Rights Day on December 10. People at the event will be encouraged to write letters and cards in support of “prisoners of conscience and human rights defenders.â€? The Belleville Group will be at the Core CafĂŠ at 223 Pinnacle Street on the day, between 1:30 and 7 p.m. The letter-writing campaign is known as Write For Rights and Amnesty International supporters around the world are expected to be writing letters on December 10. The letters are intended to pressure governments to uphold human rights on select cases. The cases Amnesty International is focussing on this year involve individuals at risk from the Philippines, China, Saudi Arabia, and the United States, as well as vulnerable communities from South Africa and India and indigenous women and girls from Canada. As well, several cases speak

to Amnesty’s campaigns “Open for Justice� and “Stop Torture.� According to a press release from the Belleville group, last year people in 143 countries took a record-breaking 2,373,422 actions during Write for Rights. “It shows that when ordinary people stand together and send a clear message demanding governments fulfill their duty to protect and uphold people’s human rights we can achieve fantastic results,� said Salil Shetty, Amnesty International’s Secretary General. Last year, messages pressuring authorities led to the release of two prisoners of conscience: the Cambodian housing rights activist Yorm Bopha and the Russian peaceful protester Vladimir Akimenkov. A small act of writing a card can also change the outlook of so many prisoners of conscience or human defenders under threat and their families.

He admitted, “There are a lot of different views about what is going on in that part of the world and people with different solutions.� For the Reverend Dunnett the presentation fulfilled its purpose. “He [Gordon] was here to throw additional light on the situation and what the Christian church is seeking to do by way of reconciliation. We don’t hear that perspective of things through the media. It was interesting to learn what the Christians are seeking in a very religious and secular environment.�

The world’s oldest social housing complex still in use

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - Jakob Fugger (1459-1525), a very wealthy merchant and banker who resided in Augsburg, Germany, decided to use some of his money to establish the Fuggerei, a social housing complex to help needy citizens of the area. It was founded in 1521, and it still exists today. Therefore, it’s considered to be the world’s oldest social housing complex still in use, and it’s supported by a charitable trust that was actually set up back in the early 16th century and is still administered by family descendants. By 1523, 52 apartment houses had been built in this “city within the city,” and others were later added, with its own streets, gates, and church, and needy Augsburg citizens could apply to live here and pay a yearly fee of a mere one Rheinischer Gulden (less than one Euro) and, amazingly, the rent is still the same today, hundreds of years later. One of the “lucky” inhabitants back in the 17th century (1681-1694) was Franz Mozart, the great-grandfather of that illustrious composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and there’s still a plaque in this complex to commemorate this bit of history. It’s, of course, not easy to get one of these “bargains,” for there’s a long waiting list and stringent

rules. The apartments were set up for hard-working people who had fallen on hard times but were debt-free, and they had to be devout Roman Catholics. One of the original parts of the agreement was that the apartment dweller had to pray for the Fugger family three times every day (and this is still a requirement), including a recitation of the Lord’s Prayer, for Jakob had originally set this up as a kind of religious “insurance,” just in case he had some difficulty getting into heaven. After all, he had been a somewhat ruthless businessman in life, but he also had a strong faith (and perhaps a bit of a guilty conscience), and he didn’t want to be trapped in Purgatory for too long. Since this complex is still inhabited today, there are lots of curious tourists who want to check it out, and it has become a major tourist attraction in this beautiful Bavarian city. I joined a guided tour of this intriguing area, and I discovered there are now several buildings in this social housing complex, and each apartment has its own door and street entrance. The left door always leads down to an apartment with an outdoor garden area and shed, and the right door leads to an upper apartment with an attic. These one-bedroom units have obvi-

ously been renovated and updated over the years, but I found that some of the old Gothic house numbers remain intact, and some of the elaborately shaped bell pulls date to pre-streetlight days, when residents could feel their individual bell pull in the dark and know they’d arrived at their correct destination. I also discovered that one apartment unit used to be used as a hospital, exclusively for the treatment of syphilis, and that another unit has been preserved “as it was” and is now kept open as a museum. Here I was able to see an original kitchen, where the resident would cook over an open fire, and the separate old bedroom, with its antique furnishings, coal oil lamp, and bedpan under the bed. A fully furnished modern apartment is also kept open and on display for visitors, and it includes a TV set showing a documentary about the Fugger family. I also learned that this Fuggerei was heavily damaged during World War II, so much of it has been rebuilt/repaired, and the bunker where residents sought shelter during the bombing is also now kept open as a museum. I couldn’t help but think about the fact that the modest fee for my tour of this social housing complex was actually more than an entire year’s rent here. That seemed rather strange. And I also found it intriguing that Jakob and his brother, Ulrich, also founded a chapel within Augsburg’s St. Anne’s Church just prior to when the Fuggerei was begun, to serve as a family crypt. However, this Roman Catholic Church eventually became a Protestant Church, so this now Protestant Church houses a Roman Catholic family crypt! Augsburg was founded in 15 BC, more than 2,000 years ago, so it has a very long and distinguished history. It was named after the Roman Emperor Augustus, became the capital of the Roman province of Rhaetia, and was, by the Middle Ages, an important intersection of several trade routes. There was a lot of money here at that time, and the

(Above) This bust of Jacob Fugger is located in Augsburg, Germany. (Right) Franz Mozart was a resident here in the 17th century.

A view of a section of the oldest social housing complex still in use.

Fugger family was certainly a major part of this. Augsburg became the base for the Fugger banking empire, and the city was even sometimes referred to as “Fuggerstadt” (“Fuggers’ City”). They were, indeed, an influential family back then, and still are, because of the existence of the Fuggerei. There’s a bust of Jakob near this complex and a painting of him (by renowned painter Albrecht Durer) in the city’s Maximilian Museum (where an enclosed courtyard also houses three Renaissance Fountains). While in this area of Germany, just northwest of Munich, sometimes referred to as “the gateway to the Alps,” I’d also recommend checking out the restored Golden Hall in the City Hall, the Perlach Tower, St. Mary’s Cathedral, the Imperial Mile, and the Fugger City Palace (a residential and business house of Jakob Fugger).

Westben hosts Music Makes Me Smile day for schoolchildren By Sue Dickens

News - Campellford - Local schoolchildren filled the Clock Tower Cultural Centre to learn about a program hosted by Westben Arts Festival Theatre called “Music Makes Me Smile.” The goal of last Monday’s event was to also introduce students, teachers and parents to the centre. Westben co-founders Brian Finley and Donna Bennett were joined by renowned local musician and music teacher Nancy Elmhirst, to welcome more than 150 schoolchildren from Kent and Hillcrest Public schools. “The goal is to welcome and introduce students, teachers and parents to the Clock Tower Cultural Centre. There is immense potential with this Cultural Centre and we want the youth of this

community to know the door is open,” said Bennett. Music Makes me Smile not only introduced the current programs Westben has to offer but it was designed to create interest with fun and involvement through musical demonstrations and interactions,” Bennett explained. Sheldon Sporring, a Grade 7 student at Hillcrest agreed that music is important. He was there with the Westben Foundation Junior Band and plays the bass clarinet. “The first year I was in the Junior Band and now the second year I am in the Foundation Band and next year it will be the Wind Ensemble,” he explained. “I joined because it’s something to do and it’s good for you to learn how to do different

things. Who knows later on in life I might be able to play professionally,” he said enthusiastically. Emily Williams, who plays the clarinet, also in Grade 7, agrees that music is also a big part of her life. “I love it I really enjoy it,” she said. “The nice part of playing an instrument [is] once you get to know that instrument, you can pretty well play any instrument you want to,” she added with a big grin. The morning of the program, Elmhirst and members of the Westben Instrumental Foundations group performed and introduced their own instruments to the other school children. The presentation ended with a question and answer session.

Rock show coming to Belle Pub

“It is thrilling to have the Clock Tower full of children enjoying music,” Bennett remarked. “We at Westben believe strongly in the value of arts education and recognize the importance of quality musical experiences in helping children grow and develop intellectually, socially and emotionally,” she added. “Engagement with the arts

helps children achieve their potential as individuals and as members of the larger community. Westben is committed to providing opportunities for children to discover the exciting and joyous world of music, and through this experience, to gain an appreciation for music that will form the basis of a life-long journey.” Westben hopes to create interest and involvement, focusing on

fun and value through musical demonstrations and interactions. Westben also stands for a strong belief in the value of arts education and demonstrates time and time again, connections between Westben programming and Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board curriculum objectives.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth:

Dan Clost Lifestyles - Once again the air in our homes is redolent with the malodorous stench of rotting tree carcasses. Yes, Gentle Reader, ’tis the time of year when we join the maddened, extravagant world of the Victorian gardener. We have convinced ourselves it is the grandest idea to bring dead trees into the home; homes with neither conservatory nor l’orangerie. Okay, that’s my bit of curmudgeonry for the season, with the exception of a continuing commentary on “festive jolly music” turning our brains into mush. To clear the air, so to speak, I really do like Christmas trees and really do look forward to having one in the house.

Caring for your dead tree

I am also very pleased that the Fraser fir is readily available for one primary reason, it has a pleasing fragrance, especially when compared to the white spruce, aka cat spruce. (What is implied but not said is that a white spruce can sometimes smell like cat pee.) There are many varieties of conifers now available to us and each has distinct characteristics that help us prefer one over the other. Some are old favourites such as Scots pine, white pine, Norway spruce and balsam fir. Some are newer to us such as Fraser fir, Canaan fir, Nordmann fir and Serbian spruce. Whichever you prefer, there is one feature you must look for and that is freshness. Freshness does not necessarily mean freshly cut or harvested from the field. In fact, a tree bundled up from the plantation in November can be fresher than a tree sawn down from the woodlot in mid-December. Trees are just like any other plant in the garden; they enter into dormancy in the late fall. Signals are received externally, e.g. temperature differentials, declining sunlight, and this triggers internal changes, e.g. production of different hormones, a slowing down of metabolic processes. One of the affects is reduction in moisture moving from roots to needles. When the tree

is cut down before the external signals happen to effect these changes, the top part doesn’t know it is dead. And it won’t know it for a very long time. Coincidentally, this is the time between harvest and January composting. When the tree is cut, the sap will form essentially a scab (congealed sap) while it tries to heal itself: think of a geranium leaf cutting. If the temperatures remain cool, with little difference between night and daytime temperatures, the tree is almost in a state of suspended animation. Once you bring it into the house, the warm temperatures will “awaken” it. The tree will be very thirsty. This is the reason for making a fresh, or new, cut at the base of the trunk: you remove the scab so water can replenish the desiccated or drying out needles. Your dead Christmas tree might even break open buds and start to “grow.” This is common with varieties that have a shorter dormancy period, for example silver fir and some balsam firs. Don’t look for roots, GR, just keep the reservoir filled with water. You can add all sorts of stuff to the water if you wish from preservatives to soft drinks to aspirin to sugar. You’ll feel better and know that you are doing your bit to feed a dead tree. The tree itself won’t care. If you check the web sites,

be sure to differentiate between those that sell preservatives and those that have some academic and horticultural credibility. A fresh tree is one that holds onto its needles. Give the tree a good shake before you buy it. Many old needles will fall, especially from a spruce, but they’re not the important ones. The important ones are those that remain on the tree. There should be many needles left on the branches and those branches

should be pliant or easily bendable. Once a tree loses its suppleness and stops taking up water, it is time to take it out of the house, even if it is Christmas Eve. It is better to be inconvenienced by replacing a tree than standing out on the street watching the fire department do their job. A Christmas tree is a wonderful addition to the season and is a focus for both the secular and the divine. Take care of it.

said if infected ash trees are not treated there is a 95 per cent mortality rate, within one or two years. “It’s really fast,” she said. The dead wood and branches falling can be hazardous. The trees can fall on other trees or on roads. “Ash is a valuable hard wood for furniture or burning,” she said. “It does not need to be seasoned. You can cut it today and burn it tonight.” Cane said ash reproduces by the roots so it reforests quite quickly. “It can be annoying, sprouting up all over,” she added. “But it’s really good for woodpeckers. They have a banquet.” The cause of the problem is a tiny emerald insect. “It’s an emerald green, really beautiful,” she said. “But terrible.” She said people barely ever Emma Cane points out a sample of an emerald see them because they are up high on the tree. They leave ash borer. Photo: Kate Everson By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - Ash trees are going to be a thing of the past if the emerald ash borer gets its way. “It’s only a matter of time,” says Emma Cane, Source Protection Assistant with Lower Trent Conservation. She

their exit holes in the bark. They drop their eggs and the larvae goes into the bark. The new bugs eat their way through the bark cutting off its circulation of sap. “In a heavy infestation they peel the whole bark off the tree,” she said. The adults also feed on the leaves of the ash trees. Cane said landowners have resources through Lower Trent Conservation to deal with the problem. “In the next five years it’s all they will ever talk about,” she said. “It’s a really big forestry issue.” She said landowners can pay $200 a tree to inject insecticide. Some are proactive and cutting down their ash trees now before it gets hazardous. Cane said people can still use the wood even if it is infected. “It’s still good wood,” she said. She said the disease is similar to the Dutch elm disease but faster.

Enchanted Forest attracts hundreds By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - It was a busy weekend at Farmtown Park as volunteers and staff hosted a massive pre-Christmas party and raffle that continued long after the annual Starlight House Tour held last Thursday night. Museum Manager Margaret Grotek says Christmas in Heritage Village has become a popular and eagerly anticipated annual event for many, and the support of both sponsors and community are behind its success. About 200 people took part in the house tour, hosted in five area homes and Farmtown Park last Thursday evening, with many arriving at Heritage Village as the final stop. Inside the streetscape, dozens of trees, decorations and toy

bundles were available for raffle, all provided by a large group of museum supporters. This year the event had an Enchanted Forest theme with a bullfrog on a giant toadstool greeting visitors as they entered through a tunnel of greenery to a brightly lit and colourful Christmas display. Throughout the weekend visitors arrived to view the various raffle prizes and drop their tickets in the accompanying boxes with the hopes of taking something special home. Farmtown Park President Harry Danford welcomed visitors on the final day and thanked the many supporters for their generosity before Hastings County Queen of the Furrow Jessica Sills began drawing tickets for about 60

valuable prizes. Grotek says volunteers spent several weeks in preparation for what has become the largest annual fund raiser for the facility. “Once again our sponsors have been very generous, and we really appreciate it,� Danford said before the draws began. And based on the list of winners, most of whom were not in attendance at the time, there were plenty of out-oftown guests during the weekend. Prizes went to residents from throughout the area including Trenton, Campbellford, Norwood, Marmora, Madoc and Stirling. Winners would be contacted by phone, he explained, and could arrange to pick up their prizes in the coming days. Jane Reid and Kaden Dunlop were among the many visitors to Farmtown Park last weekend who A full prize and winners list is posted filled out raffle tickets for various Christmas prizes. on Facebook, Grotek says. Each year the special events bring hundreds of visitors to the museum, and officials say it is also an opportunity to attract firsttime guests to see the impressive displays. And while there is much work involved behind the scenes, she notes, there are plenty of experienced and availablevolunteers who have made it a tradition of their Visitors to last weekend’s Enchanted Forest at Farmtown Park in Stirling were greeted by a colourful own.

TransCanada answers questions about pipeline project By John Campbell

News - Codrington - Close to 70 people turned out for the open house TransCanada held last week to explain its proposal to build a natural gas pipeline across southern Ontario, and most attendees had one thing in mind: where exactly is it going to be located. “The feedback was pretty consistent,” said TransCanada external communications specialist Sharan Kaur. “People wanted to see on the map where specifically in the community the pipe is going to be going through.” The energy company is proposing to lay 250 kilometres of pipe between Markham and South Dundas in eastern Ontario “to meet current and future needs” of gas customers in Ontario and Quebec, Kaur said. The $1.5-billion Eastern Mainline Project requires the approval of the National Energy Board before it can proceed. The open house held November 20 at the Codrington Community Centre marked the start of a second round of public consultations this year. Pending approval, TransCanada hopes to begin construction in 2016 and have the new transmission infrastructure in service by 2017. Nine new compressor units will be added to five existing compressor stations, including the one in Alnwick-Haldimand Township. “There are going to be thousands

of jobs that are going to come into the community along the pipeline route [during construction],” Kaur said. “That’s important to a lot of folks.” The “economic spinoffs” include workers staying in hotels, dining at local restaurants and purchasing local goods and services. The pipeline will require a new right-ofway, but it will be located where possible adjacent the existing corridor. That’s an issue for Bev Dahmer, who already has two TransCanada pipelines crossing her farm properties north of Grafton. She and two others want to organize area landowners into a group to negotiate “the best possible deal” for easement agreements. She’s had “all sorts of problems” with two other gas companies whose pipelines run across her land, and while she hasn’t had an issue with TransCanada, it “has a very poor track record in safety and transparency and honesty in other parts of Canada and … the world.” Dahmer said she and other landowners are looking for a commitment from TransCanada that the new pipeline will cause “the least amount of damage possible … and our livelihoods aren’t going to be greatly impacted.” She’s “not anti-development, antipipeline. I want it done in a way that’s fair to the landowner, that’s safe [and]

compensates us fairly because we put a lot of blood and sweat into our land.” Project manager Brian West said farmers will be compensated for the loss of crops during construction, based on thirdparty appraisals that take into account their “market value at the time.” TransCanada had 25 of its experts at the open house to answer questions on a broad array of issues, including pipeline safety. Transporting natural gas through pipes “is the safest method,” Kaur said. “Our goal is no incidents across the board … There are occurrences that do happen and we make sure that we address them” but “there hasn’t been anything here on the main line in Ontario specifically for quite some time.” Pipelines are monitored around the clock for “even the smallest drop of pressure” by control centres in Calgary and Houston, and when that happens “they can shut off the pipeline valves on both ends and isolate it,” she said. “There’s always room for improvement and we’re always doing that” through Brian and Eleanor Maunder, Brighton, had questions for one of TransCanada’s land agents about changes in technology. where the pipeline for the Eastern Mainline Project will be located. Photo: John Campbell West said the company is able to detect and deal with leaks “fairly quickly … so the impact to the environment from natural gas is minimal, if at all.”

SARFIP improves the farm while benefitting wildlife By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - A Species at Risk Farm Incentive Program (SARFIP) is helping improve farms while benefitting wildlife and helping the environment. “There are over 200 species at risk in Ontario,� said Paul Reeds, regional lead in the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association. “This program gives farmers an opportunity to enhance biodiversity and habitat, with incen-

tives from the government.� He said they help farmers do things like setting up windbreaks by planting trees, and fencing livestock so they don’t pollute streams. “We even encourage them to delay cutting their hay,� he said. “Birds are nesting. We pay farmers the difference lost in the value of the hay by delaying the cut.� He said the Ministry of Natural Resources will offer funds for certain incentives. Best manage-

ment practices include control of invasive plants, grazing management plans, biodiversity and wetland restoration. “We encourage biodiversity,� he said. “Don’t overgraze. It’s also good for the livestock when you rotate pastures.� He said the federal and provincial governments pay half the costs. The five-year program was set up in 2013, beginning with a series of workshops, setting up a plan and implementing the plan.

O’Hara Sugar Maples, Harts Road, Madoc Township, operated by the Needham family, entered five products, finishing first place for their maple sugar

candy, third for extra light syrup and fourth for maple butter, with sixth and ninth for other entries. Downey farms, once again finished well with fourth place in the National Canadian roadster to wagon competitions with their four-year-old mare, Road Tour, born and bred at their Centre Hastings farm. Last year Glen and Lori Downey were inducted into the Canadian Road Horse Association hall of fame. The Bakers have been breeding a prize line of Charolais cattle by insemination, using stock from Gerrard Montezuma 6T, a bull from “out west” as Kevin Baker explained. A heifer, Baker Farms Zagucci, from the same breeder, finished as grand champion last year at The Royal and went on to take the championship at Regina’s Canadian Western Agribition. Ashley Baker is the one who shows their stock in the ring. She has personally handled Zuma since he was born. They have a bond both in and out of the ring, and, now, national fame.

As members of the Quinte chapter of the Ontario Maple Sugar Producers Association, the Needham family, Stephen and Heather, with their two children, Vanessa and Jager, began to take maple syrup seriously only a few

years ago. Stephen attributes their high quality products to continued improvements in equipment and the importance of a small calibration tool by Atago, which tests the heat and water of syrup. The Needhams also wanted to give credit to their colleague, president of the Quinte local Kris Koopman, who finished as the reserve champion at The Royal,

for his extra light syrup. O’Hara Sugar Maple syrup will be served at O’Hara Mill Christmas breakfasts December 6 and 7. The Needham family plans to host a spring syrup festival at The Mill featuring their products.
