Buccaneers galore on Treasure Island stage By Bill Freeman

News - Hastings - Buccaneering fortune hunters filled the Hastings Public School stage in a colourful and swashbucklingly entertaining production of Robert Louis Stevenson’s great adventure story Treasure Island. The cast and crew of 35-40 Grade 4 to 8 students delighted audiences during three shows staged Wednesday including a well-received presentation to visiting students from Norwood. The show was a triumph and another exhibition of the school’s strong passion for the arts which was on full show last year during their excellent production of the Wizard of Oz. Treasure Island director and HPS teacher Caroline Teese was delighted with her young students’ work which began in October with initial casting and rehearsals. “I’m so proud of them,� Teese said. “To me the joy in doing this is when they own it, when they take it and it’s really truly theirs.� In the beginning it’s almost entirely the director’s show, the director’s vision, she says, but the thrill of leading a cast through a play is watching them mature in roles and truly understand the nature of the work they are presenting. “I have a vision of what it will be but as a creative thing no two plays are alike,� Teese said, noting that this was the fourth time she has been involved with Treasure Island and each one was completely different. “That’s part of what makes it special and as an art form.� “It’s so great for the kids,� Teese adds. “They have to be collaborative and creative and they have to problem-solve all the time. They’ve learned to improvise and pay attention to each other and tell the story together.� She also says their confidence has soared and along the way friendships have been made and “mentorships� between the older and younger students have flourished. Hastings Public School Grade 4 to 8 students presented a colourful and swashbuckling production of Treasure Island at the school delighting audiences of all ages with “They really support each other. It’s an amazing thing to be intheir rendition of Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous adventure story. Photos: Bill Freeman See more photos on page 14 volved in.�

Generosity matches increase in toy requests

First Place winner of 55” T.V. is Dave and Val Goguen of Marmora

By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - Community generosity has matched an increase in the number of requests for Christmas toys packed in gift boxes by the Norwood Lions Club. The number of local children receiving gifts from the Lions annual Christmas toy drive is “up significantly,” says Lions member Vern Stockdale. This year the club provided boxes for 31 families and toys for 83 children; last year 55 children received Christmas gifts through the Lions toy program. “Donations came in very well and we have got lots of toys for each box. People have been very generous,” Stockdale said Thursday morning while volunteers got ready to distribute the boxes. The Lions received tremendous support from people who donated items at its various drop off locations like the Royal Bank, Bowes and Cocks Realty, the Norwood Post Office and Maple View Retirement Centre. New this year were the boxes the Lions had set up at library branches in Westwood and Norwood. As well, club members who, rather than exchange gifts at the Lions Christmas party, asked members to bring a

gift for a child aged ten to 14. “We don’t need the gifts for the exchange and to have each member donate one was a great idea,” said Stockdale. “So we had lots of toys for older children, last year we had to go out and buy for the older kids. This year there was enough.” Stockdale was thrilled by the response they received

from Maple View noting that they received more donations Thursday morning thanks to donations made during the centre’s annual family Christmas party. Being able to bring Christmas cheer to some local families is the driving force behind the Lions toy program, Stockdale says. “There will be a lot of happy kids.”

clients who have had to make use of the food bank at least once or twice this past year. “Some clients just need help occasionally,” noted Covert. It is donations and grants throughout the year, not just at Christmas time, that keep the food bank shelves stocked. “Martin Hare, our food bank treasurer was instrumental in communicating with Hamilton Township Mutual Insurance and through that we got half of a beef,” said Covert. “Every one of our volunteers has some of this beef stored in their freezer for when it’s needed. It’s incredible. We were lucky to get it,” she added. The community pantry does not have a freezer to store that much beef so the volunteers pitched in. “And we just got a donation from a local resident, he and his partner have done this in the past, and so turkeys for Christmas were covered for all our clients,” she said with enthusiasm. There are many more examples of support from area residents and organizations. “I want to thank everyone for their support from within the community and from the churches and organizations … all are big supporters. It’s almost getting to the point you’re hoping you don’t forget somebody when you say thank you,” Covert concluded. And so the work of the volunteers will continue as another year begins. Speaking of 2015, don’t forget the fourth annual Not a Black Tie Event, a fund raiser scheduled to take place January 15, the third Thursday of the month. “We’re looking volunteers for the kitchen, we need five or six people,” Covert said. As well any teams interested in participating are asked to contact Covert as soon as possible by phoning 705-924-9008.

News - Warkworth - Santa Claus was not the only one making a list and checking it twice this Christmas. Gail Covert, chair of the 7 Hills Community Pantry, was also checking her list to see what their clients need. She points out that the list is a good guideline for anytime of the year, including the coming months of January and February when the holiday giving stops but the needs of their clients still exist. “The list includes canned fruit, juice, pork and beans, peanut butter, canned soup, canned vegetables, mayonnaise, macaroni and cheese (i.e. Kraft Dinner) and pasta,” she said. “Non-food items such as dish soap, hand soap and toothpaste are also very helpful,” she added. By the time this newspaper is published the Christmas hampers will have been distributed, thanks to “generous donations” from the community and area businesses. “We gave out the hampers December 19 and 22 and distributed them to about 27 clients,” she said. The number is about the same as last year. Clients live in Warkworth and the surrounding area. “This past year we’ve had new clients come to us who tend to be older, in their fifties. They are people who have worked a long time and their company may have closed down and they are trying to pay their bills. They will still need help after the holidays,” Covert explained. “Many people are living pay cheque to pay cheque these days and the majority are families,” she added. “I think it’s consistent with what is happening everywhere now.” At 7 Hills Community Pantry there are also

The tables set up in the bays were laden with gifts that would make their way into the homes of about 90 children whose Christmas this year would be otherwise spartan. “By far the best year we’ve ever had,� said Fire Chief Tim Blake. “I’m very proud of the support that we’re getting.� Support from people such as the Lang family—Bev and

Farrant said he, his wife and her parents begin shopping for presents on Boxing Day, when there are bargains to be had, and they continue to buy gifts throughout the rest of the year. “It’s a lot of fun,â€? he said, “giving back to the community. Not everybody is as fortunate as we are ‌ You want everybody to have a nice Christmas.â€? Helping to make that possible for families who are struggling “makes you feel really good,â€? he said. “It’s unbelievable,â€? said Virginia Marini, principal of St. Mary Catholic Separate School. “I’m overwhelmed by the generosity of this town ‌ I can’t thank people enough for what they do, and I wish they could see that look in the parents’ eyes when I get to deliver and distribute [the presents]. “It’s like you’re playing Santa, it’s a pretty amazing feeling.â€? Marini said the school will use the money it received to provide Christmas dinner for families whose children received presents. Hillcrest Public School teacher Patrick Muldoon, who has been involved in the Christmas campaign since its inception years ago, said the amount of donations collected this year “is probably four, five timesâ€? what it was at the start. “It’s regrettable that it needs to get bigger [each year] but it’s a reality, there’s a lot of families that struggle, especially at Christmas time,â€? he said. A member of the CampbellfordSeymour Community Foundation who serves as liaison to the Youth Advisory Council’s 14 members, Muldoon said the group’s participation in the parade for the first time “was really successful.â€?

OPINION

The Danish Santa

Editorial - Saint Nicholas (also known as Santa Claus, Kris Kringle or Father Christmas) has had to put up with a lot over the years. After the latest blow, he may not show up at all next week. First they decided he had to reside at the North Pole, where the temperature often falls to 50 degrees below zero and there are several months of complete darkness each year just when the work-load peaks. The south coast of what is now Turkey, where St. Nick originally lived and worked, was much nicer. Then in a series of ads in the 1930s the CocaCola Company crystallised his image as a fat old man wearing clothes that are frankly a fashion disaster. And now, as a final indignity, they are trying to make him a Danish citizen. On Monday, Denmark submitted documents claiming the North Pole as Danish territory (since the Danish kingdom includes Greenland). It was a “historic and important milestone” for Denmark, said Foreign Minister Martin Lidegaard. It was also provocative and pointless, but he forgot to mention that. The Danish government does not actually want or need the North Pole, and does not imagine that it would derive any practical benefit from “owning” it. It is just responding to the equally baseless Canadian declaration last December that the North Pole is sovereign Canadian territory, or at least that the seabed 4,000 metres beneath it is. The way that claim came about is quite instructive. Canada has a huge archipelago of Arctic islands, and for years Canadian government scientists have been gathering evidence to support a Canadian claim to exclusive economic rights over the seabed of the Arctic Ocean adjacent to those islands. All five countries that border the Arctic Ocean have been preparing similar claims to the seabed off their own coasts. Until last December, Canada made no claim to the North Pole. It was only days before the country was due to submit its final claim to the UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government finally woke up. The claim wasn’t in the original submission

because Canada has no real case in international law. Even if the Commission ends up accepting the contention by Russia, Canada and Denmark (on behalf of its Greenland territory) that the underwater Lomonosov Ridge extends their respective bits of the continental shelf into the central Arctic Ocean, the principle of “equidistance” would give the North Pole itself to the Danes or the Russians. For the past nine years Prime Minister Harper has travelled to the Canadian Arctic every summer to give the Canadian media a “photo op.” He promises new ice-breakers and an Arctic naval base, he stands on a submarine as fighters fly overhead, he sits in the cockpit of a Canadian F-18, he shoots a rifle in a military exercise— every year a new image of him personally defending Canadian sovereignty from some unspecified threat. There is no threat to Canadian territory, of course, and even in terms of seabed rights Canada’s only serious dispute is with the United States (over a bit of seabed north of the YukonAlaska border in the Beaufort Sea). But Harper’s pose as the staunch defender of Canadian “rights” serves his conservative, nationalist agenda and plays well with the Canadian media. So when Harper’s minions belatedly realised that the government’s scientists and civil servants had not included the North Pole in Canada’s claim to the commission, Harper slammed the brakes on and demanded that they rewrite it. He will have been told by the experts that Canada has no legal case—but he also knows that by the time that becomes clear to the public, many years from now, he will no longer be in office. Canada didn’t submit its final claim last December after all. The poor boffins in Ottawa are struggling to reformulate it to include the North Pole, while Harper trumpets his determination to protect Canadian “rights.” And the Danes, who were previously willing to let sleeping dogs lie, have now responded by making their own rather more plausible claim. The Russians may be next. President Vladimir Putin also likes to be photographed in the Arctic, surrounded by military kit and bravely defending Russian sovereignty. It’s getting ridiculous—but might it also be getting out of hand? Probably not. There has been much loose talk about allegedly huge reserves of oil and gas under the Arctic seabed, but not much actual drilling is likely to happen in the challenging conditions of the Arctic Ocean when the oil price is below $80 per barrel. (It’s currently in the mid-$50s, and will probably be down there for a long time.) There’s really nothing else up there that’s worth fighting over.

Happy Holidays By Terry Bush
 Editorial - It really bothers many people that some of our institutions have become so politically correct that the words “Merry Christmas,” are forbidden as if they were some form of profanity. The powers-that-be have also decided that Christmas decorations, trees and all the rest should be banned from their premises; you know, the buildings that we have paid for with our taxes. Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings are okay but heaven forbid you offend anyone by saying what you really mean. The fact of the matter is that the majority of people in our readership area celebrate Christmas as a religious or secular holiday. So why have some schools and government buildings banned what most people consider one of the major events of the year? Someone may not like it. Funny, but in a democracy like the one we have in Canada, usually the majority rules. But seriously, does anyone other than the bureaucrats even care. This isn’t the big city after all. We want to be more inclusive. We don’t want to push our holidays on others who may not share our religious beliefs. We don’t want to offend. In our push to be politically correct, we’re missing a great opportunity to educate our children and ourselves about the many different people who now make up the population of Canada. Wouldn’t it be more inclusive, especially in our schools, to make it a point to educate students about the history of Christmas as well as the festivals and holy days of other religions now that our country has become much more culturally and religiously diverse. This month alone, according to the web site <religioustolerance.org> we have Bodhi Day, also known as Rohatsu celebrated by Buddhists. As the web site says, “It recalls

the day in 596 BCE, when the Buddha sat beneath a Bodhi tree, a type of fig tree, and is believed to have achieved enlightenment, thus escaping the repeating cycle of reincarnation: involving birth, life, death and rebirth. A descendent of the original tree is the most important of four holy sites of Buddhism.” Native people and some atheists both in North America and around the world celebrate the Winter Solstice. Wiccans and some Neopagans celebrate Yule at the Winter Solstice as well. Jews are now celebrating the eight days of Hanukkah (Chanukah), also known as the Festival of Lights, which commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt and the miracle of the one-day supply of oil found in the temple lasting eight days. Kwanzaa, celebrated by millions around the world starts on December 26 and celebrates, “the best of African thought and practice in constant exchange with the world.” This African-American holiday was created by Maulana Karenga in 1965. Muslim holidays are fixed to the lunar calendar and begin in January though they will return to December in a few decades. A quick survey of our office finds people have no problem wishing others a Merry Christmas and if someone wished them a Happy Hanukkah or Happy Kwanzaa, they would respond in kind in the spirit of the season. For many, the total commercialization of the Christmas season is much more offensive than a simple Merry Christmas and a few decorations. So to everyone celebrating a holiday this week, “Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a joyous Kwanzaa to you and yours.” Chances are you’re not offended in the least.

Lost-and-found service boon for pet owners and missing pets By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills - Dog and cat owners would do themselves and their pets a big favour if they were to have

microchips implanted in their animals, says the operator of a local online service that helps reunite missing pets and their owners.

“Microchipping is just the most fantastic thing,� and costs just $25, says Deb Mumby, the owner of Whiskers and Wags, a pet sitting and dog walking business she runs out of her home east of Norham. “Really, it’s the very best thing you can do.� The microchip is coded with contact information, which facilitates pets being returned to their owners after going missing and then being found by strangers. “It will get them home as fast as possible,� she says. Mumby, a graduate of the veterinary assistant program at St. Lawrence College, saw the good that microchips can do while employed as a kennel assistant at the Quinte Humane Society for two years. It was also there she met Jennifer Sporting-Nichols, who established the Quinte Lost Dog Network.

After striking out on her own, with Whiskers and Wags, Mumby decided to extend the reach of her friend’s network by adding a lost and found pet service to her web site, <www.whiskersandwags.ca>, and Facebook page. The service is directed primarily to pet owners living within Trent Hills, Brighton, Colborne, Castleton and parts of Trenton. The two services share reports they’ve received about pets that have left home or been located. The “more news feeds our posts show up in, the faster pets get back to their homes,� Mumby says. The combined service has about a 75 per cent success rate in helping people find their lost pets, she says. The microchip, which is usually placed between the dog’s shoulder blades, is good for the lifetime of

the animal but the owner must remember to update the information it carries if there has been a change in address or phone number. One of the reasons Mumby got involved in lost-and-found efforts was that it gave her the means of “easing the burden on the humane society� because she’s witnessed first-hand “what hard jobs they have to do� and how busy the place can get. Mumby does more than post reports, she’ll spend 90 minutes driving around looking for pets that have wandered off in her area. “It really bothers me,� their being lost, she says. “It almost makes me feel sick, knowing they’re out there. There are no lengths I won’t go to try to get them home.� Mumby is “a big advocate� of using a leash at all times outdoors because, without it, “you’ve got no

controlâ€? what the animal will do at a moment’s notice. Investing in a microchip is the best money an owner will ever spend, along with having the animal spayed or neutered, she says. Her advice to anyone who spots a stray animal is to read its “body languageâ€? to see if it’s safe to approach and then do what you can to bring about its return home. “Don’t ever be afraid to stop and help,â€? she says. “Getting them home and making sure that they’re safe ‌ helps me to sleep at night.â€? One missing animal she hopes will be reunited with its owner soon with the help of the public is Abbey, a collie, that was reported lost November 14. She was last seen just off County Road 2 south of Smithfield on the boundary between Quinte West and Brighton.

Focus group will tackle challenge of low enrollment at secondary schools By Sue Dickens

together to discuss ongoing challenges faced by the board’s smaller secondary schools as a result of declining enrollment. While the meetings will be working meetings, they will be open for community members to attend and listen to the conversations. There will also be an opportunity for the general public to ask specific questions at the end of each meeting. “These schools face a number of challenges as a result of their low number of students and school staff. The greatest difficulty is the ability of these schools to offer a wide range of academic programs and course selections for our students,� said Cathy Abraham, chairperson of the board.

Abraham added. According to the board these schools face a number of challenges. The greatest difficulty is the ability of these schools to offer a wide range of academic programs and course selections for its students.

are feeling,� said Carlo Quiùones of Knights 4 Inclusion which organized the week-long campaign that culminated in a day where students and staff

were encouraged to wear white. The school also raised funds and donated material from their Samaritan’s Purse initiative to the Crossroads Women’s Shelter in Peterborough during a week that also marked the 25th anniversary of the murder of 14 women at L’École Polytechnique de MontrĂŠal. The Freedom Wall was set up in the school’s most central spot and students were welcome to add their thoughts to a board that included articles, quotations and posters focussing on gender-based violence. One poster made by Carlo revealed that more women 15 to 44 years of age die of gender-based violence than from cancer, war, malaria or traffic accidents. “They took it seriously,â€? said Carlo. “We expected to get more negative stuff which is why we were prepared for that.â€? That didn’t happen, he said, although there were a few that

were contrary to the intent of the project and in the end that was also a good thing because “that would challenge people to speak up, to say that it’s happening right here in the school.� “We did our job. It’s up to the people [to follow through] with the information we gave them. To give action to that.� The posters, he added, were “pretty powerful.� Among the notes on the wall were “we can’t ignore the darkness of others because the innocent will only suffer� and “you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.� Students also signed a pledge to “never to commit, never to excuse and never to remain silent about violence against women.� “It’s nice to see everyone getting involved,� added Nicole Maher, another member of Knights 4 Inclusion. “This is a

Under the new ARC model the profile would only include school and school board data but no information about the value to the community or the economy. One positive change is the requirement of schools boards to formally invite senior municipal administration and/or councillors to participate in accommodation reviews. The public comment period to the Ministry of Education closed December 18 but the Change.org petition is still an open document and groups like CARE, People for Public Education and Community Friends of Norwood District High School want the

News - Norwood - Supporters of rural community schools are being encouraged to sign a petition protesting proposed changes to the provincial Ministry of Education’s contentious Accommodation Review Committee (ARC) process. The process is used to guide school closing decisions and with accommodation reviews for Norwood District High School and Campbellford District High School expected in the near future, members of the Community Friends of Norwood District High School are urging area residents to pay close attention to the proposed changes and make their voices heard. The Ontario government is grappling with the issue of “underutilized space� in schools across the province and has said that nearly 70 per cent of schools receive support for “underutilized space that is not being used for core educational purposes.� The proposed ARC changes “will greatly reduce the public’s ability to engage and have input in the process,� says Citizens for Accountable and Responsible Education (CARE) Niagara Inc., the group leading the petition campaign. The current ARC process is generally lengthy but the proposed changes suggest that the provincial government wants to shorten the length of time for consultation and decision-making.

Percy students help African families start own farms By John Campbell

News - Warkworth - Long before thoughts of Christmas entered their minds, the 228 students at Percy Centennial Public School started off the school year in September thinking about “gifts of empowerment.� Teachers Julie Anderson (Grade 8) and Sandra Allanson-Kelly (Kindergarten) say hi to Hudson and Brittany, two goats sisters Sarah Kiar, Peyton Iafrate and Skyler Iafrate brought to Percy Centennial Public School from their hobby farm for a photo op to publicize the school’s latest efforts on behalf of Free the Children. Photo: John Campbell

It’s an initiative of Free the Children, an international charity that strives “to empower and enable youth to be agents of change.� One way is to raise money in support of the good work the organization does, which Percy has been doing for eight years, the most signal achievement being the construction of a school. This year’s initiative differed from others it help fund, Grade 8 teacher Julie Anderson said: It was to raise money to buy dairy goats for families in Africa to enable them to earn a steady income. “One goat gets them some

cheese and milk they can use for themselves and sell,� Anderson said. “Once they get two goats they can start their own small farm and it gives them their own business.� The fund raising began in September and included dances and Spirit Days. Each classroom was asked to raise $50 to buy a dairy goat, which for a family in Africa can “open a world of possibilities,� says Free the Children. In the end a total of $650 was collected—enough to purchase 13 goats. “An amazing sense of community here, more than

I’ve ever seen before,� said the school’s new principal Dave Crawford, who agreed to purchase a goat himself if the entire school bought a dozen with the money it raised. One Grade 8 student, Keira Taylor, bought one by taking donations in lieu of birthday gifts; three sisters— Sarah Kiar, Skyler Iafrate and Peyton Iafrate—brought in $100 by holding a fund raiser at their mother’s store, Serendipitous Old Stuff. “It worked out really, really well,� Crawford said. The students did “a fantastic job.�

covering 1896 to 1915 is also considered in poor condition. The first two bylaw books from the Village of Havelock (1900-1949 and 1949-1969) have paper that is in poor condition. The Belmont & Methuen minutes were handwritten through 1932 and are considered in deteriorating condition. The Village of Havelock minutes were hand written through 1971. “I know we can’t put them in a glass house and send them away,� Mayor Gerow said. He’s thrilled that the documents will be preserved in this way noting that in the first set of minutes are “very detailed� descriptions of the authorization to gather stone and pre-

pare the building of the Stone Hall on Highway 7. “Not too many townships can go back to those first set of minutes,� he said. “This has been talked about for a long time,� Gerow said thanking Dickinson and Clerk Glenn Girven for pursuing the initiative. “I think this is a great thing because these things are valuable,� added Deputy-mayor Jim Martin.

town, “having a good understanding of their role, our responsibilities, and the applicable legislation will ensure we provide effective support to this important organization.â€? Rutter said having the information come from “an expert source would provide clarity for the membershipâ€? as they make plans for the coming year and beyond. “This is something I have been proposing for quite some time, that we bring membership together,â€? Mayor Hector Macmillan told council last week, and the municipality needs to make sure that it contacts the absentee landlords that own some of these buildings ‌ because we want to get full participation out on this.â€?

“This is just going up one step further to clarify things,â€? he said. It’s “a necessary step. No matter how much you know there’s always something to learn,â€? on either side.

Salvation Army helps when people most in need By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills - The need never lessens but neither does the generosity that eases the want, if only for a day. It’s the Salvation Army’s Christmas Cheer program and this year it’s helping 260 families in Trent Hills, Havelock and Norwood—“about the same as usual,” says family services worker Janey Leach. “And I’ll probably get another 40 emergencies.” The program is a joint effort of the Salvation Army and St. John’s United Church whose congregation members volunteer help in preparing the hampers for distribution from its auditorium. “Fantastic support from the community as usual, with toys and gifts and food,” that the public drops off at the Free Methodist Church where her of-

fice is located. “We supply families with the means to have a more cheerful Christmas,” Leach said. “It doesn’t solve everybody’s problems but at least there’s going to be a good Christmas dinner, [and] wonderful toys for the children.” Recipients are given gift food certificates to buy what they want and toys are supplied from the Giving Tree in Cobourg, along with extras from “very generous people who donate toys in the community.” Although the Salvation Army’s area office is located in Trenton, “every donation in Trent Hills stays in Trent Hills,” Leach said. That’s important, said financial advisor Daniel Dugas, who’s involved in the Prosper in Northumberland campaign, which is “doing something very

valuable” in encouraging people to buy local. Having just opened up a financial services firm on Main Street in Warkworth, “the first thing I wanted to do was give local.” Earning a livelihood from clients who live in the area, “it’s only valid that we give back to those who are in need within our community.” He donated $200 and handed over another cheque for $50 from Val and Brian Pridmore. Accountant Arlene Whidden, who works with Dugas through her tax preparation business, said she’s “a firm supporter and believer” of the Salvation Army and has helped out at Christmas for years. “As a young child I was a recipient.” She was living in Toronto in a basement apartment with her mother and two sisters when there was a knock on the door one Christmas Eve. It was the Salvation Army. “In came the tree, all the decorations, a turkey (we were going to have beans) … and presents.” Leach said she hears that a lot from donors whose lives early on were brightened at Christmas by gifts that arrived at the household courtesy of the Salvation Army. She recently received a package of hand-knitted mittens from a woman now living in Toronto who

had received presents when she was a child in Campbellford. “The main reason I give to the Salvation Army [is because] it tries to help people, through counselling or whatever other services they need,” Whidden said. “It’s not just a handout, it’s usually a hand up.” “We do a lot quietly,” Leach said The Salvation Army also operates a food bank year-round on Mondays and Thursdays and it hosts regular lunches. The one in Hastings held twice a

month usually attracts 50 to 60 people and about 20 people attend the lunch held every Friday at the Free Methodist Church in Campbellford. A full dinner is provided once a month at St. John’s. All are supported by local donations. “We’re looking to continue working with Janey throughout the year,” Dugas said. “Whatever we can do in the future we’re really looking forward to that partnership.”

Nominations accepted for sixth annual Civic Awards and Volunteer Appreciation News - Campbellford The call is out once again for nominations for the sixth annual Civic Awards and Volunteer Appreciation ceremony. “The event is held in order to recognize the exceptional contributions and achievements of individuals and organizations in our community,” stated Community Development Officer Lynn Phillips, on the municipality’s web site. A press release is making the rounds in cyberspace on emails as well to get the word out about this opportunity. “The participation of community groups in the nomination process is integral to the success of the Civic Awards,” said Phillips. A few years ago, at the third annual awards event a new category was added, the Accessibility Award, and it remains an important one among the nine open to nominations. As well the Civic Awards and the Volunteer Appreciation Awards were combined; this has been such a huge success the decision was made to continue the tradition. The categories this year are: • Agricultural Leadership - for the efforts and leadership of an individual or group in agricultural improvements, promotion of rural lifestyles, or assistance

in agricultural events and activities.
 • Cultural Award of Merit - for an individual or group that has enhanced awareness within the community of culture, visual, performing or literary arts.
 • Outstanding Youth Award - for an exceptional contribution(s) made to the community and/or their school, and to an individual who is 19 years of age or younger as of December 31 of the year of nomination. • Sporting Excellence Award - for an individual or team accomplishment of a regional, provincial and/or national championship. • Recreation & Sport Award - for the volunteer efforts of an individual or group in the promotion, organization, sponsorship or motivation of sports, recreation, and leisure pursuits for healthy and active living. • Community Betterment Award - for a volunteer or group of volunteers whose actions, commitment, volunteer leadership, service and community spirit has made a difference in the lives of those in the community. • Heritage Awareness Award - for an individual or group that has promoted awareness of Trent Hills’ heritage. • Architectural Conservation Award - for a property owner of the subject property and/or the contractor

each year and every year the municipality hopes more and more will participate. The Mayor’s Civic Pride Award is a highlight of the evening event each year. One of the nominees who was selected in the past for this award was Gary Torrance who was hon-

oured for his role as manager of the Squirt softball team that won the provincial title in 2010 … and more. He has been involved in minor hockey and softball, as a player, coach, trainer and manager for more than 50 years. The deadline for nominations is 2 p.m. on January 26, 2015.

The awards event will be held at the Hastings Civic Centre on March 27, 2015. For more information on the awards or on submitting nominations, please contact Community Development Officer Lynn Phillips at <lynn.phillips@trenthills. ca> or 705-653-1900 ext. 239.

Signage strategy planned for Mathison conservation land By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - The Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen was so impressed with the work two Fleming College students did mapping and studying the Mathison conservation property north of the village that they’ve decided to sign on again with the college to develop a sign strategy for the 250-acre parcel of land. The municipality will again work with Ecosystem Management students out of the Lindsay campus who are part of the college’s credit for product program, the same program responsible for a well-received presentation last month by students Liam Pritchard and Jon Shaddock that included information and recommendations on trail mapping, trail expansion, signage, maintenance, nature lookouts, environmental partnerships and an interpretive guide. The new project would run from January to April and is a follow-up

to the initial venture focussing this time on developing a signage strategy with municipal staff encompassing things like a gateway, boundary delineations, safety and interpretative signage. The project will also make recommendations on the types of signs that could be used and how they would be installed. The “quality of the workmanship” on the first project was excellent, said Deputy Clerk-Economic Development Officer Brian Grattan who visited the Lindsay campus to watch the final presentations of all 12 credit for product projects and came away impressed with the students’ work. “I think it was a great project and great use of the parkland reserve fund. They did a great job on the first phase,” said Deputy-mayor Jim Martin who chairs the Mathison Property Ad Hoc Committee. “It is a really super project, particularly with the signage,” added

Councillor David Gerow. The last project was budgeted for $1,500, said Grattan, and it didn’t reach $1,000. The next project has a maximum budget of $3,000 drawn again from parkland reserves. If students travel in two vehicles for field visits they can only charge mileage for one vehicle so they’ll likely car pool. Among the “deliverables” will be a detailed report and map showing the proposed locations for different signs on the property, an estimate of costs and materials that would be needed to install the “gateway” and interpretative signage as well as digital files on the work done by the students, things like GIS, maps, photos and reports. The Fleming students will again work with the Peterborough County GIS department. The previous report included accurate GIS mapping and a recommended development of 2.7 kilo-

metres of trails: 1.6 kilometres for multi-use and one kilometre strictly for walking. They also recommended the development of an additional 875 metres of new trail expansion. The students walked every single trail they could find and identified those that were most suitable for a network; they also noted that some trails meandered onto private property. Boundary signage is definitely important, says Grattan. “If we are going to promote the property properly we want to have that comfort level that people can go onto the property and return safely,” he said. Mayor Ron Gerow shared council’s enthusiasm for the project. “This is another piece in the first phase in development of the property. We need to get the boundaries marked so everybody knows what belongs to the municipality and what doesn’t. It’s a good starting point.”

Island Park residents knit for the mitten tree

By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - The simple act of knitting a number of consecutive rows of loops, called stitches, is putting smiles on the faces of people everywhere at this time of year and no more so than at Island Park Retirement Community. “I presented the idea of a mitten tree for Christmas back in 2009,� said Krista Hazlewood, lifestyle consultant at the seniors residence in Campbellford, whose idea has continued to capture the imagination of the residents at the home. This year, for example, the family of resident Theresa Tessier, who passed away earlier this year, was able to place mittens she knit on the tree too as her legacy. “Theresa was one of our ladies who

was a primary knitter and she passed away this spring,� Hazlewood explained. “When the family came and packed away her things there was a box with a special tag on it labelled for the mitten tree so the family came and put the mittens on the tree. It was a nice bit of closure. Theresa did a lot of the small baby mittens,� she added. Tessier, who was from Havelock, was 97. For her, as it is for others now living at Island Park, it has always been about giving back and being a part of the community. Fran Douglas, who is 93, is one of those residents who enjoys knitting for others.

“Our church used to knit and I did about 100 mittens a year. We would send them to India, but the shipping got to be too expensive so now I knit for the new babies at the hospital in Peterborough. I thought it would be a nice gesture,� Fran told the Trent Hills Independent. “And in between I knit for this mitten tree. I knit mittens and toques,� she said. Fran said she likes to sit in her suite which she pointed out is on the top floor of Island Park, something she really enjoys, and knits. “I sit and knit and watch television and look outside at the beautiful view,� she commented with a smile. All the mittens on the tree

have now been gathered up and given to the Salvation Army in Campbellford. “That is what the residents wanted,� Hazlewood said, explaining residents wanted to make sure the mittens stayed in their community. “Our residents here, they love doing things for the community. They love being a part of the community. And if it’s in the community it’s successful and it’s from the heart,� she commented. At last count there were 114 mittens on the tree. Residents were also able to donate toys for the local toy drive making it a merry Christmas for many.

Dedicated capital levy recommended for the county News - Northumberland - After years of sticking to 2.5 per cent increases in its annual levy, Northumberland County should consider introducing a dedicated capital levy to help pay for major work on its infrastructure. Director of finance Jennifer Moore put forward that recommendation in an overview of the 2015 draft budget she presented to county council December 10. The county adopted annual levy increases of 2.5 per cent in 2010 as part of a ten-year plan to stabilize its draw on local tax dollars at a rate slightly higher than inflation. It also allowed the county to “make some headwayâ€? in closing the gap that had developed over the previous decade between what was being levied and the amount that should have been set in taxes to cover costs downloaded by the province. The county will need to “ramp upâ€? its capital budget in future to begin addressing its manifold infrastructure needs, Moore said. An asset management plan approved by council earlier this year estimated Northumberland should be spending $27.4 million a year on infrastructure repairs and replacements. The $100.4 million budget proposed for 2015 allocates $16.5 million for capital expenditures. “We’re putting more money into capital each and every year but ‌ we’re still falling behind,â€? Moore said, and “not able to chip awayâ€? at what needs to be done according to the asset management plan. Moore said Northumberland is not alone in having an infrastructure deficit. While it will need to spend $1 billion to close the gap over the next 50 to 60 years, eastern Ontario should spend slightly more than that each year alone to maintain and upgrade its infrastructure, she pointed out. The county’s financial indicators show “really a good story,â€? said Moore, who noted there has been a “phenomenal turnaroundâ€? in its reserves, which are projected to continue to grow over the next ten years, with future contributions “aligned to prioritiesâ€? identified in the asset management plan. The county’s debt has grown stable but

Moore expressed concerns that the province has recently indicated it is “expecting municipalities to take out more debt in order to meet their infrastructure needs. “We don’t want to make poor decisions� that will cause future generations to spend money on “repaying debt rather than being able to address the needs of the day,� Moore said. “So it’s going to be a difficult challenge.� Staff began working on the

budget in July. Council will begin formal discussion of the budget at its January meeting when members will be able to ask for additional information or request changes. Moore said staff “really are pushing the schedule a little� for early adoption of the budget because going out for tenders early in the season produces “much, much better pricing� for projects in a competitive market. Moore forecast prices for fuel,

utilities, asphalt and cement will stabilize next year, as will provincial subsidies, but she predicted there will be a drop in waste and provincial offences revenues. The county will also take on additional costs for land use planning, the Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre, septic system inspections, remediation of the Eagleson landfill site near Cobourg, and the first wave of initiatives from the waste management master plan.

Fran Douglas, a resident at Island Park Retirement Community, is one of the many residents who knit mittens and toques for the home’s mitten tree. The knitted items were donated to the Salvation Army in Campbellford just in time for Christmas. Residents were also able to donate a toy to the local toy drive. Photo: Sue Dickens

“Understanding, kind, sensitive” teen honoured By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - The smiles and applause said it all as Avery Wood accepted the Havelock Ministerial Association Christian Youth Service Award during a standing-room-only community carol sing that lit up Havelock United Church. The modest but accomplished Havelock teen, a graduate of St. Paul Catholic Elementary School in Norwood and now a student at Thomas A. Stewart Secondary School, was gracious and a little

blushed as she accepted the award from the dean of local clergy the Reverend David Wainwright. “I’ve never won anything like that before. It felt good to get noticed,” Avery, a member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Roman Catholic Church, said afterwards still somewhat awed by the honour. The ministerial award recognizes youth for the impact they have on their church and community. Avery’s nominator called her a “fine example of what a Havelock

youth is” and noted how her “understanding, kind and sensitive” nature has made a strong peer tutor and leader in everything she does. “I do it because I love to do it and I want to do it [and not for the accolades],” Avery said. “I really like Havelock. In a small town everyone is basically family and I just like to do little things around the community, even in Norwood and Peterborough. I like getting involved and doing things to help.” Avery became an altar server at her church when she was in

UR O Y T E L DON’ T SE A E L E L VEHIC N. W O D U O CHAIN Y

Grade 2 and whenever Bishop De’Angelis visited he’d request that Avery be his altar server. The Bishop was so impressed with Avery that twice she was invited to his house for lunch. The St. Paul graduate headed to TASS for its arts program where she excels on drums, guitar and saxophone and is a member of the silver medal COSSA rugby team; she is also a member of the Peterborough Pagans rugby club and played soccer in Havelock, hockey in Norwood and was a long-time member of the Havelock Figure Skating Club. She was also actively involved in the Havelock Scouting movement. Avery’s dream after high school is to become a lawyer and she’ll take her first steps

toward that goal at Laurier University. “I’ve always wanted to be a lawyer,” she says. “It’s another way of helping people. Whatever I do I want to be involved with people, learn from them and go from there.” Avery hopes other young people consider her a good role model and says she’ll always hold “Havelock in my heart.” The award recognizes youth who have a “positive effect in their church and in the community and certainly Avery exemplifies that,” said the Reverend David Estabrooks of Havelock Baptist Church. “I can’t say enough about how it gives me great pleasure to represent the ministerial, to encourage [young people] in

the same light that they’ve been raised in,” said Estabrooks. “There are good qualities in our young people. To me it’s a way to encourage them to continue on as they go on with their journey. We’re glad to be part of it.”

OPP remind residents to secure seasonal properties News - Northumberland - Northumberland OPP reminds residents to ensure seasonal residences are secured in the off season. These types of crimes are not new, and are very often preventable through community engagement; empowering communities to play an active role in crime reduction initiatives. Cottages and summer homes are most vulnerable to thieves from the week following Thanksgiving to the weeks prior to Victoria Day, especially if the owners are not using them for fall, winter or spring getaways. Remember, if there is no one living at it or checking it regularly, the cost of owning a seasonal property includes the frustration and irritation of repairing damage and replacing stolen property. Here are a few tips to consider: Pack up all food and alcohol. Don’t leave firearms or weapons at the cottage. If you are leaving vehicles, make sure they’re winterized, secure and disabled—for snow machines remove track and hide keys; ensure boats are covered and locked; outboard motors locked and slightly disassembled; ATVs disabled—leave nothing on trailers unless it is locked or disabled. Leave no valuables at cottage—electronics, personal items, tools etc. unless you are prepared to lose them. Who is your contact (key holder) for: alarms, thefts, weather damage or animal problems? Do you have their contact information numbers? Are

they paid to check your cottage regularly or are they friends/neighbours? Your insurance company may give you a deduction if you have one. Secure your windows and doors; close window curtains or blinds and put up shutters to protect interior from marauders (both animals and human). Record serial numbers of anything of value left behind, such as sporting goods: fishing rods and equipment, water skis, toys etc. If they’re not secured, locked up, hidden or both don’t expect them to be there next spring. Lock them up or be prepared to lose them. And remember to make a list of where everything is and make copies; store one copy on your home computer and put a copy with property that will go back up to the cottage on the first or next trip (use your phone to take pictures). Know which police force patrols your cottage area (which OPP Detachment and the phone number). Police are reminding residents to contact the OPP Communications Centre immediately at 1-888-3101122 to report any suspicious activity or suspicious vehicles in the area. Information such as suspect physical descriptions, suspect vehicles and direction of travel are useful tools for investigators.

Campbellford is working with the Local Health Integration Network to develop a common set of policies and guidelines to address “attendance issues,� Redhead said. Something “needed to be done, and we’re starting

to see some cost savings around that,â€? but while there have been “some improvements,â€? there is still “room to improve,â€? she said. It can be “demotivatingâ€? for employees who come to work every day to see colleagues take sick days to “go shopping ‌ not that [it] happens frequently but we know that it does happen and we’re trying to get on top of those things more,â€?

News - Campbellford - Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) is doing a good job of meeting the goals and objectives it set for 2014-2015. Improving the efficiency of the operating room, for example, “we’ve done a very good job in terms of making progress,� CEO and president Brad Hilker told the board of directors recently. One “big thing� it’s done, chief nursing officer Jan Raine pointed out, is hold three orthopedic sessions to date, involving 17 patients. Elsewhere, wait times for patients with certain conditions having a colonoscopy done are equal to or “considerably better� than targets set by the province, she said. One of the hospital’s operating rooms is in use every day because of the increased activity “and now we’re looking at filling the second OR,� Raine said, which has made the nursing staff happy because “that’s what they’re trained for.� The hospital set a goal of achieving a $20,000 surplus for the 2014-2015 fiscal year and at last report, it was $1,215 to the good, so “we’re [heading] in the right direction,� Hilker said. There has also been an increase in services provided locally in the areas of echocardiography, dermatology and falls prevention, as was contemplated in the hospital’s operating plan. “We’ve had some great results,� with clinics for “people who feel they are at risk of falls, [and are] unsteady on their feet,� Hilker said. A draft business plan has been prepared for a health links project in Northumberland County that will get its start in Trent Hills to enhance the quality of services provided. CMH has also been able to see and discharge patients with “non-complex� conditions in the emergency department within the four-hour target it set, with the help of a nurse practitioner who now helps out six days a week. “That’s really good,� Raine said, and has been “an ongoing trend for a while.� The hospital is developing a “patient-centred service delivery model� for its inpatient and emergency departments. It will involve educating staff and appointing patient representatives to appropriate committees, such as critical care and palliative care by next April. Raine said CMH has devised “an algorithm� or tool for identifying suspected physical, financial or mental abuse of elderly patients but health care in general “has a lot of work to do� in deciding what the proper response should be. “The police do a better job [because] they’ve been on top of it long before we have been so we need to really focus on that and figure out what is best

News - Campbellford John Papanicolaou, owner of Master Sub in Campbellford, recently presented the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation with a cheque for $1,188.45 marking the 18th year in a row that he has supported the purchase of high priority medical equipment for the hospital. Since 1996 Papanicolaou has used his bonus sub sandwich coupons to raise funds for the hospital. With

this latest gift the Master Sub donation to the hospital has reached an astounding $14,382.95. “The patients and staff at Campbellford Memorial Hospital thank John and the Master Sub customers for their continued support,� said Calvin Newman, chair of the foundation’s board of directors. “Support such as this allows the hospital to provide quality health care close to home every day of the year.�

Rising costs of healthy eating making it tough for people to make ends meet News - Trent Hills - The cost of healthy eating continues to rise in 2014, putting the health of some local residents at risk, warns the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit.
Elsie Azevedo Perry, a registered dietitian with the HKPR District Health Unit noted in a press release that some low-income families do not have enough money to buy healthy food once other necessities such as rent, utilities, clothing and transportation are paid. “If people cannot afford to eat healthy foods, their overall health is often affected,” she says. “They may be more prone to chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as depression and distress,” she said. The Health Unit measured the cost of healthy eating in 2014 for Northumberland County, Haliburton County and the City of Kawartha Lakes using a tool called the Nutritious Food Basket Survey. The basket consists of 67 food items that are nutritious and commonly purchased by Ontarians, but excludes other essentials such as cleaning products, diapers, toilet paper and personal care items. Health Unit staff priced items in the

nutritious food basket at several local grocery stores earlier this year. In 2014, the Health Unit found the cost to feed a family of four (father, mother, teen-aged boy and girl between the ages of four and eight) was $190.37 per week, an increase of $3.78 per week from 2013. For a single parent with a young boy, the cost of a Nutritious Food Basket was $76.88 per week. That is an increase of $1.16 per week from 2013. “The weekly increase in food costs may not seem like a lot, but once it’s spread out over an entire year, it can make it difficult for people on limited incomes or people living pay cheque to pay cheque to make ends meet,” Azevedo Perry said. Typically, as the price of healthy eating increases, so will the costs associated with transportation, rent, utilities and other basic necessities. Azevedo Perry said, “Then the situation is even worse, since someone who relies on social assistance or minimum wage may not see their income keeping pace with their overall living costs. Tough decisions need to be made, and purchasing healthy food may not be seen as important as paying other bills.” In the spirit of the holiday season, local

Santa visits during Storyhour at the Campbellford Public Library

residents are being encouraged to donate healthy food items, warm clothing, toys or other essential household items that help families in need. Gifts of money or volunteer time are also welcomed. People can also rethink health and help reduce local poverty, said Perry. “Health is about more than health care. Our health is also connected to where we live, the opportunities we have, the choices we make, and the decisions made by our government,” she said. To that end, she urges people to lobby their municipal leaders to consider poverty-reduction strategies that help build a healthier community and address the root causes of poverty such as income security and affordable housing. Municipal governments play a significant role, as many of the decisions they make and the programs and services provided can affect the well being of residents. For more information, contact the Health Unit at 1-866-888-4577 or visit <www.hkpr.on.ca> under the “Adults/ Rethink Health” section for practical ways residents and municipal leaders can create a healthier community.

A year of great people

The Good Earth:

Dan Clost Lifestyles - As you are reading this, Gentle Reader, I am on vacation and will be spending a few days catching up on household tasks that have slipped by the wayside during the hustle and bustle of Yuletide preparations. For example, a few flowerpots still need to be emptied and put into winter storage, the leaves need to be raked and some perennials need to be lifted and divided. Hmm, perhaps I’m a titch late with those. Indoors, there is one minor proj-

ect that we’ll try to address, stripping wallpaper in the hallways. This job was started when our two daughters were in high school and five graduation ceremonies later, is yet to be completed. (Can I get a, “I hear you brother!� from other parents?) Perhaps this is the year we get it done, of course this depends on the quality of this edition of the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship and how much of my time the boobtube receives. Before the smarmy, smaltzy mush of New Year’s reminisces fill the TV specials and the glossy glam mags, I thought I would share with you some of the memorable groups and individuals who have made my year so delightful. There are heroes who transcend their challenges and just “carry on� with dignity and grace no matter the outcome. Dee, Susan and Paul, Lisa, Louise and Bruce, Peter, Craig and Kristin are amongst that group; Drew MacCandlish will always be remembered. They teach me what is important through their actions.

I do need to mention our religious groups who struggle against commercialism and material icons to bring the message of peace and love to those most in need of that comfort. To the new Trenton United Church (woohoo to the A-team), Quinte Alliance for their outstanding Road To Bethlehem community event and At The Crossroads and the Salvation Army for their open welcome to all. We might not always agree with theology but we all do need safe places. In every community there are folks who lead by examples, and there is little to distinguish between the professional and the volunteer in this regard. They are both called to help out wherever they can. You’ll find them behind the scenes at food banks, MADD and Operation Red Nose, Meals on Wheels, Habitat for Humanity, Community Living; in the service clubs like Rotary, the Lions, Knights of Columbus, the Shriners and so on; you’ll read little notices in the newspapers about mitten trees, snowsuits, new-born caps and old-

who makes singing fun. I’d like to include Sound Hound, Andrew Crews, a renaissance man who knows the difference between a jaunty musician’s cap and an old man’s flat cap, in this group of musical friends. Finally, to all of you who were on the other side of the performing platform and did not throw anything at me, thank you ‌ although airplanes made of paper money would be welcome. I know I have missed some folks, I blame it on the flat cap, but there are four special people without whom my daily passages would not be as joyful as they are: my mom, my wife, Betty, and our two daughters Robyn and Ellyn. They bless me with purpose, insight, companionship and uncompromising love and without them my world would be a dreary place. Shucks, best add in son-in-law Court into the group of folks of which I am moderately fond. The New Year is coming with its ever present gift of hope for all peoples everywhere. Let’s join together to make it so.

born slippers, you’ll see folks helping out on the soccer pitch and the hockey rink or anywhere kids need help to participate; and, you might not see them but you know they are there at Three Oaks, Foundations For Youth and other safe places. These are the people who strive to make our communities safe and accessible for everyone. They are also the ones who give us our reality check when we’re sitting smug and comfy in our homes. Music is very important to me and a few years ago I ventured out from the safety of my little den into the cold world of performance and criticisms, at least that is what I thought was out there. To Louise Ford, Paul King, James Reid and Bert Bowers, thank you for the encouragement. To my dear friends in The Lenses, Jane Richardson, Richard Kuntze, Brenda Ogden, Toni Klavers, Craig Carlson and Melissa Goudesne, thank you for a wonderful run and, still in music, to the other half of The Group of Two, Brittany Ollerenshaw, a classy lady

Youngsters have fun and collect food and toys to donate By Sue Dickens

Sports - Campbellford - For a group of youngsters landing a rock in the house and scoring while curling was not nearly as important as scoring with donations to the local food bank and The Salvation Army. Kurl for Kids, a fund raiser held recently at the Campbellford Curling Club, organized by avid curler Rooke Meiklejohn, is what brought all the youngsters together. Meiklejohn revived the event which he first held in 2001. “I have two young kids who enjoy Christmas and I think everybody should enjoy Christmas and so that’s why I decided to do this again,” he said. Meiklejohn is also one of several volunteers who help run the youth curling at the club which wraps up at the end of the season with its own Campbellford Classic Little Rocks Bonspiel. Kurl for Kids, though, was something different. It was not a competitive bonspiel. It was as simple as throwing a rock on the ice a few times at the club by participants who were asked to bring a toy and a non-perishable food item. “We give the toys to The Salvation Army and the food to the Campbellford Fare Share Food Bank,” Meikle-

john explained as the young curlers interrupted a game on the ice to line up and have their picture taken for this newspaper with all that they had collected. “Most of the young curlers are from Campbellford. One kid is from Stirling and one from Brighton and we have a team or two from Warkworth,” Meiklejohn noted. A total of nine teams of players took part in the day-long event. “It’s a lot of fun and it’s for a good cause,” said Meiklejohn as he gathered everyone around the boxes of donations. “Later we’re doing an Italian dinner of spaghetti so everybody gets a nice home-cooked meal … and it’s all for a good cause,” he added. For young Dylan Hart, who has been curling for about five years now, “it’s a pretty good day … just coming out and seeing all my friends.” He said he usually takes the role of vice or skip when he curls. Will Vandermeulen was also curling that day. “I’ve curled before,” he said. “Me and Dylan curl here every winter and this is our fifth year. I mainly skip too,” he added. “What I really like about curling is

Havelock Jamboree makes some festive announcements

By Bill Freeman

Entertainment - Havelock - The Havelock Country Jamboree has added some festive cheer of their own to the season with a generous hint of what’s in store next August when the 26th annual country music party kicks off. The Jamboree, running from August 13 to 16, made its first reveal of acts to appear on the famous twin stages next summer including music and movie star Clint Black and his hit-making sound that’s topped the charts with 22 different songs through

an impressive career launched with his first album Killin’ Time. Black, with over 12 million albums sold, will be part of the 25act Jamboree lineup that includes seven-time International Bluegrass Music Association female vocalist of the year Rhonda Vincent, ten-time Canadian Country Music Association Award winner Gord Bamford, 2014 Juno Award winner Brett Kissel, The Stampeders, John Cafferty and the legendary Beaver Brown Band, Mustang Sally, The Good Brothers, Ambush and Emi Sunshine.

More announcements are in the offing for the music and camping festival spread out over 500 acres. Black made his mark right from the start with four straight number one singles from his hit album Killin’ Time and has been a consistently strong performer through nine studio albums and a career that’s taken him to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, only the fourth country artist to grace the famous landmark. He’s also established himself as an actor with leading roles in
