Madoc – With shovels and rakes in hand, volunteers and members of the Business Improvement Team hit downtown Madoc to start the town's makeover. Seven cadets and seven Business Improvement Team (BIT) members began weeding, raking leaves, cutting

grass and sawing down branches as part of the revitalization of Madoc with the goal of improving the appearance, economic health and quality of life in downtown. On Oct. 28, the group gathered at the Village Square Market for 2 p.m. and worked until 5 p.m. “Today we are just doing a bit of a cleanup to some of the areas that are very visible to the town and also ar-

eas that are hidden — like the bridge behind the Village Square Market,” explained Brad Freeman, co-chair of the BIT. Despite the rain, they were able to clear away weeds growing on the bridge, clean up three vacant lots and trimmed the grass on Durham Street sidewalks and curbs. The team also cleared behind the buildings on the Hidden Goldmine

Bakery side of Durham Street. “It’s going to feel good at the end of the day even though we are wet and soggy — we will be able to see some improvement right away. We just want to pretty it up and we will hopefully have some ideas for the Village Square Market for the Christmas season,” said Freeman.

Northumberland County council remembers TH Mayor Hector MacMillan BY KAREN LONGWELL

Northumberland – Northumberland County council took time to remember Trent Hills Mayor Hector MacMillan in the first meeting following his death. The Oct. 18 county council meeting started with words and remembrances of the Trent Hills mayor, who died on Oct. 10 of pneumonia after battling

pancreatic cancer. Warden Mark Walas said MacMillan had a significant impact on his community, serving for 14 years. He had an unwavering commitment to the community, said Walas. He believed in standing up for what was right, even if it was unpopular, Walas added. “He was larger than life.” Speaking for councillors and staff,

Walas said MacMillan will be greatly missed. A short video was shown to highlight MacMillan’s dedication to public service, including working as an advocate for first responders and a great supporter of municipal staff. Many will remember MacMillan’s “Give ‘em Hec style.” The video was followed by a moment of silence to honour MacMillan.

“He was larger than life.” BRIGHTON MAYOR MARK WALAS ON HECTOR MACMILLAN (PICTURED RIGHT)

Havelock – The Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen had no trouble giving away maple trees to local residents during this year’s public tree program. “Every tree was spoken for,” says economic development officer-deputy clerk Brian Grattan. The municipality purchased 50 maples with 40 available on a firstcome-first-served order basis and 10 set aside for municipal use. The eight- to 10-foot trees were bought from Pineneedle Farms of Pontypool at a cost of $75 each (plus HST). They arrived in 10-gallon pots for easier planting. “There was no wait list so 50 is the right number,” said Grattan who was at the Sixth Line public works yard Oct. 25 to oversee the tree pickup. The program was started by late Brian Grattan (left) helps Bob Vincent with the former public works superintendent maple tree he ordered as part of the township’s Boyd Hill and council and was given a short hiatus to help finance the pur- bi-annual free tree program.

11th annual Angels of Care Campaign launched in Campbellford BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — The 11th annual Angels of Care campaign has been launched by the Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) Foundation to raise funds for much-needed medical and technical equipment. In a press release from the foundation, it was noted that the hospital currently has more than $300,000 in high priority medical and technological needs. The list includes critical equipment for various areas of the hospital, including the emergency department, in-patient floor, laboratory and information technology areas. As part of the 11th annual yearend appeal, the foundation has a number of special things planned to help raise funds for the medical equipment and technology purchases. This year’s campaign will once again include a series of promotional posters pairing grateful patients with hospital staff members who helped in their recovery from illness or injury. “There was such a great response to last year’s poster campaign, we

decided to do it again this year,” says foundation executive director John Russell. “Four grateful patients were thrilled to take part this year, because they wanted to publicly share their stories about the compassionate and efficient care they received at the hospital when they needed it.” The public will be able to see the posters throughout the community, in newspaper ads and on social media. Among the items on the hospital’s high priority list are two medication distribution machines and storage towers for the emergency department and in-patient areas, two hospital beds, a coagulation analyzer for the laboratory and technological upgrades for the information technology department. The campaign also includes a letter mailed to supporters and others, in which chief of staff Dr. Neil Pritchard notes that “due to generous community support during last year’s campaign, CMH purchased several pieces of priority equipment for the radiology/diagnostic imaging area and surgical

Nourish Havelock gears up for scrumptious harvest dinner BY BILL FREEMAN

Havelock — Nourish Havelock is gearing up for another locally-grown food showcase with its annual harvest dinner on Nov. 4. The fifth annual community dinner at the Lions Hall is expected to draw close to 250 people eager to sample the fruits of Nourish Havelock’s community gardens and other locallysourced produce while enjoying some entertainment and browsing the information booths. Nourish Havelock currently has 16 raised community garden beds at its main site at My Cottage in the east end of Havelock, with four additional gardens at Havelock Belmont Public School tended by students. The organization has approxi-

mately 15 members with eight active in the gardens. Last year’s dinner drew 240 people and featured five seasonal soups, roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, roasted potatoes, salads, fresh-pressed apple cider, apple crisps, pickled beets and ice cream. Donations from around HBM and neighbouring communities helped round out the meal, which was produced by volunteers. Nourish Havelock is part of a larger community garden initiative aided significantly by the Peterborough YWCA. “If I can grow food, anybody can,” says Nourish Havelock member Sue Cushing. “This is our way of helping the community learn how to grow their own food. What it is is fun. You meet a lot of great people.”

“It’s a wonderful thing for any community, small or large,” says Cushing. “It’s possible anywhere. I love being part of this.” Before the first raised beds were installed there was resistance to attempts to have them built on public land, so Nourish Havelock opted to erect them on private property. The sheer beauty of the gardens and their harvest bounty has dispelled lingering misconceptions. The family-friendly event runs from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and will also include children’s activities. Tickets are $2 for adults, with children 12 and under going free. The admission is by ticket only and they are available at Stepping Stone Preschool on Quebec Street or from Nourish Havelock Task Force members.

OPINION

No reason for taking fish over spawning beds

Catalonia: The silent majority It’s been going on for a while. “Recently in Catalonia we have been living through a kind of ‘soft’ totalitarianism...the illusion of unanimity created by the fear of expressing dissent,” wrote best-selling Catalan author Javier Cercas in Gwynne Dyer the Spanish newspaper El Pais in 2014. Those who didn’t want independence kept their heads down and their mouths shut, in other words. Three years later, it has just got worse. Last July, leading Catalan film-maker Isabel Coixet told The Observer that “Madrid is deaf and mute and the government here (in Catalonia) is really happy about that. They never really look for dialogue at all.” She added that Catalans are afraid of speaking out “for fear of being called fascists.” That about sums it up. Opinion polls consistently show that a majority of the people who live in Catalonia want it to remain part of Spain. The latest, published in El Pais on Saturday, showed that 55 per cent of those polled opposed the declaration of independence in the Catalan parliament last week, with only 41 per cent in favour. That’s an even more decisive rejection of separation from Spain than a poll commissioned by the Catalan government and published just before the declaration of independence, which came out 49 per cent to 41 per cent in favour of remaining in Spain. Yet the news coverage was all about flag-waving nationalist crowds demanding independence, because the silent majority was staying low. Finally, on Sunday, a big pro-Spanish crowd came out in the streets of Barcelona: 300,000 people according to the police, more than a million according to the organizers. About the same size as the pro-independence crowds, therefore, but they left it rather late. The separatist strategy has worked well, and by now the fat is really in the fire. The separatists’ problem was this: no opinion poll has ever shown a majority for independence since the current upsurge in Catalan nationalism began about eight years ago. For the past few years the ‘yes ‘ vote has been stuck at around 40%. You can hardly declare independence for the region without a vote of some kind, so what do you do? A referendum is better than an election, because it’s a single-issue vote that will really get the faithful out. But how do you prevent

News. CENTRAL HASTINGS TRENT HILLS

the more numerous skeptics from voting too? Well, the Spanish constitution is a great help there, because it says that a referendum on independence for any of Spain’s regions would be illegal. So if you hold one, maybe the true nationalists will vote despite the law, while the rest obey the law and stay away. They road-tested this model three years ago with an ‘advisory’ referendum that the Madrid government sort of tolerated (though it said it was illegal), and it worked just fine. Only 37 per cent of the population voted, but 80 per cent of those who did show up voted ‘yes’ to independence That’s the kind of number you could really use to justify declaring independence, even if it’s a bit of a cheat. If anybody complains, just shrug your shoulders, say you wish the turnout had been higher, and carry on doing what you want to do: declaring independence. And so it came to pass. The independence referendum on 1 October was the real thing, not ‘advisory’ at all. Rather late in the day Spanish Prime Minister Maria Rajoy realised that the independentistas intended to use the result as a justification for a declaration of independence, so he got a court judgement confirming that the referendum was illegal and sent the police in to shut it down. The Catalan nationalists had foreseen this, and welcomed it. Nothing could be better for the cause than images of Spanish police dragging women out of polling booths, and the uproar would keep even the hardiest ‘no’ voters away. The turn-out this time was a bit higher, at 43 per cent and so was the ‘yes’ vote: 90 per cent. Very gratifying. With that manipulated result in hand, the president of Catalonia’s regional government, nationalist leader Carles Puigdemont, declared independence last week. The Spanish central government immediately dissolved the regional parliament, removed Puigedemont and his cabinet from office, and announced a fresh regional election for 21 December. It’s all strictly in accord with Article 155 of the Spanish constitution, and Puigdemont probably foresaw this too. He has always been three moves ahead of Madrid. Meanwhile, Spains’s Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria now has the job of running Catalonia until the election, and she will probably have a very difficult time. Puigdemont is now officially a martyr in the eyes of his fellow separatists, and Spain says that he will be allowed to run in the December election, so he has lost nothing. Unless the silent majority find their voices, he may yet be the first president of the Catalan Republic.

Editorial by Chris Malette There he was, last week. Standing proudly with a rod and reel in one hand, a backpack across one shoulder and, draped over the other, a fishing stringer festooned with a pair of metrelong dripping salmon. Those battered specimens, missing chunks of skin and flesh, had presumably just come from the Moira River, nearby, where an ice control dam makes the area off what is commonly known as “Meyers’ Mill” a spawning ground for salmon that swim up the bay from deeper, colder environs in Lake Ontario this time each year. But, here was Goober, the hero home from the hunt with his prize possessions – two half-rotten salmon he was presumably bringing home for the table. Ugh. If the poor schmuck had a wife or partner, let’s hope he was told to return the smelling, rotting specimens to where they belonged – back in the river. There are some large specimens moving into area waterways to spawn and, if you’re simply watching, it’s impressive to see the size of some of the larger fish, usually the Chinooks or King salmon Coho salmon, the Chinook’s smaller cousin, are moving into rivers and tributaries to spawn, as well. Here’s what the MNR has to say about them when they move inland to spawn: “…usually stop feeding once they move upstream in fall, but are aggressive and territorial and will hit lures in defence....” But, many prefer a nastier way to catch a fish. Under Ontario’s fishing regulations it is illegal in any waterway to: “Catch a fish by impaling or snagging it with a hook through any part of the body other than the mouth – any fish hooked in this way must be released immediately. • Take fish by any means other than angling, spear, bow and arrow, net or bait fish trap. But, it’s not unusual to see people mostly snagging, with gang-hooks, known as a snagger. Last week, we asked MNR’s enforcement people about the use of such devices. “Under the Ontario Fishery Regulations a hook altered this way – with a lead weight (in an illustration provided by the officer who responded) – would be called a “snagger,” said the ministry’s Jolanta Kowalski. “It is unlawful to possess a snagger within 30m of the water’s edge or to use a snagger to fish.”)

Many who have read to this point will recall having seen, at some point over the past several years, either news stories or have watched firsthand as native spear fishers have waded into the Moira or other rivers in the region to spear spawning pickerel in spring. When this practice first occurred with any great public regularity – in urban areas, at least – it was met with some pretty nasty blowback. White anglers, the vocally curious or those simply wanting to stir it up would line the river banks on the nights when the spear fishing was going on, taunting the mostly Mohawk men in the water with all manner of cat calls and threats. The practice of taking pickerel in this manner is wrong, plain and simple, as the spear fishers often target the spawning sows (bigger fish that are easier to hit with a not-too-precise spear lunge in rushing spring rivers, fatter fillets from the largest of the fish in the river, etc.) and we have seen far too much evidence that these fish aren’t winding up on tables of the elders or for private consumption – although there is indeed plenty of that – but that the majority become part of the commercial food chain in the form of truckloads of filleted fish from the largest of the lot heading west or east down the 401 to restaurant back doors in Toronto or Montreal. In some cases, as with the mouth of the Moira, Trent, Ganny and others in spring, these spawning grounds are sanctuaries. (It’s not a sanctuary, it should be noted, where the anglers and fly fisher-fellas in Belleville have been taking their salmon this fall.) It happens that the ministry will go after someone fishing in a sanctuary – anyone who will not, it should be said, claim to be Aboriginal and fishing for ceremonial or by-rights reasons, the aforementioned spear-fishing aficionados. In a perfect world, no one would be catching spawning fish in any river – once they have moved into the river or creek and are over their spawning grounds for many reasons, most having to do with protecting the breeds of fish that are doing so. But, to drag home the half-rotten corpse of a reeking salmon that just weeks ago would have been magnificent table fare is just plain boneheaded. Have you seen or are you wary about someone fishing illegally? You can turn the bums in. Here’s how: Natural resources violations can be reported to the MNRF TIPS line at 1-877847-7667 toll-free any time or local ministry offices during regular business hours.

O'Hara Mill Lottery winners BY TAYLOR BERTELINK

The fourth annual O’Hara Mill Lottery has proved popular again — selling out of all 350 tickets. “The O'Hara Volunteers Association appreciates the great support from the community, both from ticket sellers and purchasers. Every year the committee wonders if we can sell all the tickets but each year the community rallies round and we are encouraged by this great show of support,” said Gayle Ketcheson, volunteer for the O’Hara Mill Homestead. Monies raised from the major fundraiser goes toward the preservation, improvements and maintenance of the Homestead located on Mill Road in Madoc. “This lottery, which raises a total of $17,550 (of which 50 per cent goes out in prizes), is the only large fundraiser for the O'Hara Volunteers Association. Nancy Moorcroft, the co-ordinator for the whole lottery effort, is the one that deserves most of the credit for the success of the lottery,” explained Ketcheson. This unique lottery boasts 26 winners at each of the three draws — every winning ticket goes back into the pool for subsequent draws. The next draw is Nov. 15 and the final draw is scheduled for Dec. 3, during the Christmas At The Mill holiday celebration at the O'Hara Mill Homestead. The winners of the first draw held on Oct. 18 are Lamoine Foley, who took home the $1,000 prize, and Carl Vandermeer, who claimed the $500 second prize. Pat Shannon, Amanda Girard, George Atkinson and Doris Bush won $105.

The $75 winners were Karen Nickle, Angela and Harry Rafique, Patricia and Marvin Wiggins, Frank Brooks, Ron and Janis Fabian, Greg Tucker, Doug Reid, Bill and Veronica Easton, Cliff Smith, Gerrard and Joanne Forestell. The $25 winners were Shirleanne Cook, Joy Reid, Carrie Smith, Henry Kwiatkowski, Dave and Carol Paranuik, Bart Chaston, Home Hardware staff, Kathryn and Mark Atkinson, Jim Vogel and Richard Armstrong. Winners in this draw came not only from Madoc, but from a wide area ranging from Ottawa to Milton.

Heart of Hastings Hospice thanks its volunteers at AGM BY TAYLOR BERTELINK

More than 60 Heart of Hastings Hospice volunteers filled the Eldorado Hall in Madoc recently for the hospice's annual recognition dinner to applaud the achievements of the past year and to thank its volunteers. “We’ve tried to make this a thank-a-thon — whether that’s the community members, the volunteers, the staff and everyone that supports us,” said Heidi Griffith, executive director for Heart of Hastings Hospice. The appreciation event took place Oct. 23. The Heart of Hastings Hospice supports patients facing life-threatening illnesses with limited prognoses, along with their families in the communities of Centre Hastings, Marmora and Lake, Tweed, Madoc and Stirling. Through various programs such as equipment lending program, visiting volunteer Gayle Ketcheson (right), who sold the win- services, residential hospice, ning ticket, delivered the $1,000 prize to bereavement and caregiver the winner, Lamoine Foley (left). programs, Heart of Hastings Submitted Photo Hospice has been able to serve its communities. “Without our volunteers and the support of our community, we wouldn't be able to do what we do and there are so many people in our community that benefit from these services,” said Griffith. The theme of this year’s Remember the ones who died. AGM was, “thank you to our Even if it is not Remembrance Day. community for your support.” Awards such as the June Callwood Circle of Outstanding Volunteers Award and the Maurice Rollins Community Leadership Award for Youth

Kim Rudd, MP

were presented to volunteers who showed outstanding dedication to Heart of Hastings Hospice. “It’s important to have this event to acknowledge all the hard work that they do. They don't do it for the recognition, they do it because they are rewarded by giving back. We just want to give them a fun treat to thank them for all they do,” said Griffith. Guest speakers such as Shelley Hagerman — a sponsor of Handbags for Hospice through her business, TH Logistics Landstar Canada Agent, as well as a new volunteer in training for the Heart of Hastings Hospice — and deputy mayor of Marmora and Lake Linda Bracken, plus several others shared the impact the programs, events and services have had on them. “Thank you to each and every volunteer in this room for what you do — I’m honoured to be here on the behalf of the municipality of Marmora and Lake to be able to see all of your faces. We are all here for the same wonderful reason and that is to help each other. On a personal basis your volunteers cared for my sister and my husband — I truly thank you,” said Bracken. Throughout the evening a slide show was presented to show an overview of last years accomplishments and plans for the future. In 2017, 222 individuals and their families were served by Hospice, an increase of 35 per cent from 2016. At a slight increase from last year, 140 families benefited

from the Equipment Lending Program. More than 40 people were served in Hospice Grief Support Groups and 24 individuals and their families were served with 390 days of care provided by the Hospice House. Volunteers provided 4,483 hours of client care, a 77 per cent increase from last year and Hospice also walked along side 73 people who died last year. Among the many accomplishments announced during the evening, plans for the future of Hospice were also presented by Roy Dullage, board chair for Heart of Hastings Hospice. Hastings of Hospice received funding from the province, $52,000 a year for two years, to create a new visitation program in rural Frontenac Lennox and Addington. “It will initially start off as a satellite program with the goal of eventually having it be a self sustaining program — right now we are in infancy stages of planning. This will not impact our services here in order to this,” Dullage assured. Heart of Hastings Hospice hopes to apply for an Ontario Trillium Foundation Capital Grant to add an addition to the Hospice House to allow for future needs of baby boomers, increase accessibility with the addition of washrooms and to improve privacy for caregiver and grief groups. “And we are also working on a five-year strategic plan that we are hoping to have by the spring of 2018,” explained Dullage.

Marmora food bank Christmas hamper applications available through Helping Hands BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — Preparations are beginning for the Christmas hamper program at the Marmora Helping Hands Food Bank and applications will be made available Oct. 31. The final day for Christmas hamper registration is Dec. 12, which is also the last regular food pick up date of 2017. “Last year we provided 58 Christmas hampers,” said Linda Pacaud, founder and chair of the food bank here. “We have families from everywhere, singles too and seniors,” she noted. Some people walk in to the food bank on their own but referrals are also received from Community Care. The food bank is for residents within the Marmora and Lake catchment area. “If anybody thinks they know somebody that needs help they can also phone us because that person might not come forward themselves. We don’t ask, we just help,” she added. To assist the food bank with filling the hampers they rely on more donations and the community has never failed to support the organization, said Pacaud. “Greg Potter’s Valu-Mart is extremely generous. They help us out a lot. Tim Hor-

tons gives us a donation. The girl guides, the churches, the schools, they all do something, the seniors group, the local Lions Club, all of them,” she said. The local Pentecostal church had a “cram the pews” event at Thanksgiving and food from that also keeps the food bank going the rest of the year. “I think I am so lucky because if I need something, if we are short of something and I call any of the churches we get it. We even have a couple who donates on a monthly basis,” Pacaud said. “At Christmas time it’s the time when people are most generous. We do up the hampers and whatever is left over gets us through into the next year.” Christmas Hamper pickup is on Dec. 19 and takes place upstairs in the library’s William Shannon room. The food bank, typically open Tuesdays from 1 to 3 p.m., will be closed Tuesday Dec. 26 and Tuesday Jan. 2 and will reopen Tuesday, Jan. 9. Christmas hamper applications are available at the food bank downstairs at the Marmora Library building, 37 Forsyth St. Applications will also be available at the Marmora Medical Centre, 1 Madoc St.

Back and ready to inspire community members to keep the ball rolling in support of the third national Relay for Youth, Steve O’Brien hosted the second event meeting in Madoc on Wednesday, Oct. 18. Earlier this month, it was announced that Madoc has been chosen to be one of five communities in Canada to participate in the third National Relay for Youth. “I just developed a bond toward this community and yet I’ve only been here maybe six times in my life, but every time I come I feel like I am home,” said Steve O’Brien, founder of the Steve O’Brien Foundation and three-time gold medallist in the World Masters Games in the 400-metre sprint. In attendance were Mario Laliberte, Charles Gordon, Lynda Matchett, Hazel Gill, Victoria Sauve, John Sauve, Wayne Hagerman, Jeff Bitton and media, where discussions about what the relay will look like were discussed. “It’s not a 12 hour relay but a 24 hour relay. Teams of 12 will raise $600 to register and the relay stick has to stay in motion for the duration of the time,” he explained. Participants can walk, run, ride a bike, skateboard, longboard, etc., and kilometres travelled will be calculated per team.

The goal of the relay is to create new role models by bringing people together, while exercising their bodies and minds. Money will benefit local youth programs, whether that be sports, music, arts, woodworking, etc. “We helped him with his journey two years ago and now he wants to come back to the community and help them and to provide for the youth in our area,” said Jeff Bitton, parks, recreation and culture co-ordinator for the municipality of Centre Hastings. Moving forward Bitton said, “we need to pick the date, time and location, but what we really need now is a steering committee to get the ball rolling, to make a Facebook page and spread the word. Then we need the commitment of the community to get involved.” Although no one ‘stepped up’ in the meeting, Bitton says that there is still an opportunity to find those people and get things going. “Everyone knows, it’s really tough to find the funds to do things, so everyone is looking for a fundraiser, an idea or activity. So when this one came along it was different and unique — we need the community’s service clubs and organizations to get on board,” said Bitton. “It’s a twofold event, it brings people together but it also might put money back into the groups that desperately need it.” While there hasn't been an official date set, Bitton explained that the goal is to set up another public meeting in the next few months where they will discuss an official event date for September or early October, 2018. Bitton encourages those who may be interested in getting involved in the project to drop by the municipal office in Madoc, or by emailing him at, jbitton@centrehastings.com .

Stirling Lions toll booth raises nearly $4,000 for elevator project BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling — Motorists and pedestrians passing through Stirling on Saturday, Oct. 21, have brought the Stirling Lions Club closer to making accessibility at the Lions Hall a reality. The sixth annual event raised just under $4,000, said Lions representative Kenn Deck. “It exceeded our expectations,” Deck said. “We usually get about three grand, so to get an extra

thousand dollars was fantastic. We were fortunate that the weather was beautiful.” He said the old toll booths were in poor shape, so Fire Chief Derrick Little helped out by donating two new toll booths to help with the fundraising. All of the money is going toward the elevator project at the Lions Hall, which is located upstairs at the Stirling Arena. “It is the largest capacity hall in Stirling-Rawdon,” Deck said. “If

you want to have it open to the public, it has to be accessible.” The project is an expensive one. The elevator itself will cost $32,000, and the required building renovations and installation will add another $45,000. “We've got over $20,000 of our own money, and we've applied for grants,” Deck said. “Once we have the funding and the purchase order, it takes about three weeks to book them (the installers).” He said the club hopes con-

struction will begin in January, with the installation taking place toward the end of March when hockey season is over. If all goes well, the elevator should be ready for use some time in May. The elevator is just one step in the Lions Club accessibility project. Deck said the second phase is upgrading the washrooms to make them handicapped accessible and adding a non-gender washroom. This will cost another $30,000.

Once all that is completed, the club also plans to do a serious upgrade on the hall-kitchen facilities to ensure they are up to code for use by professional caterers when the hall is rented out, Deck said. He said that all these renovations will total about $265,000 once all the work is completed. Members of the public can donate to the Stirling &amp; District Lions Accessibility Fund at P.O. Box 56, Stirling, ON K0K 3E0.

Madoc Lions Club hosts appreciation night, 5th anniversary celebration BY SUE DICKENS

Madoc — Celebrating what president Tom Simpson called “a double whammy” the Madoc Lions Club held its annual appreciation night Monday, Oct. 23. The dinner was attended by about 45 people and was held to thank supporters and mark the club’s fiveyear anniversary. “For the past five years we have done many things to help many people. We’ve put over $10,000 back into the community,” noted Simpson as he acknowledged the support from the community, “to help us be successful.” Among those in attendance was Kevin Roy of Marmora Crowe Valley Lions Club who, as Simpson explained to the guests, “Was our guiding Lion who helped us start this club five years ago.” Roy, who lives in Madoc and is a member of the Marmora Crowe Valley Lions Club, told the Central Hastings News, “Tonight just goes to show you all the hard work to keep it going, it lasted. I give a lot of credit to Tom himself for bringing in new members.” He added, “We need lots of volunteers and lots of members. You know we have a saying, ‘where there is a need there is a

Lion’.” Although there are no charter members still with the club, Simpson welcomed Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline, who is not a member now but was at one time. “I try not to be a member of too many things because of disclosures,” he explained to the Central Hastings News. “I think tonight is great. I know how important the Lions Club is to the community. We’ve got a lot of groups in our community that do that but I won’t get into names because this is a Lions night tonight.” A slide show for the guests showed the Lions helping the community, from supporting Project Lifesaver, (a program of the Alzheimer Society of Prince Edward-Hastings to locate those most vulnerable living with dementia in the community who may go missing) to contributing annually to Adopt-A-Child co-ordinated through the Central Hastings OPP, cutting grass at the Heart of Hastings Hospice House and other places, donating a wheelchair to a member of the community and more. “It’s our pleasure every year to bring everyone like this together,” said Simpson, adding, “Our motto is we are a small club but we have a big heart.”

Pickleball fever takes hold Perfect pie is a sought-after award in Hastings BY SUE DICKENS

The Hastings Fieldhouse Pickleball Club welcomes new and experienced players. Bill Freeman/Metroland

BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings — Pickleball fever has taken a firm hold at the Hastings Fieldhouse, and newcomers and veterans are being invited to sign up for local afternoon and evening play. “It’s been growing pretty good,” says Andry Obarymsky of the Hastings Pickleballers. “In the winter, this is a great place to be.” Obarymsky is a devoted pickleballer playing on the newly-revamped tennis courts in Campbellford (they include pickleball lines) and in Trenton, along with regular outings in Hastings where games take place comfortably on at least four courts. He also makes sure he brings his gear when he travels outside of the region. The Hastings group has a maximum sign-up of 16 for any afternoon or evening session. Afternoons run from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and evenings from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The afternoon sessions are more for recreational

players and evenings for more competitive (or Titan) players, but Obarymsky says there are always experienced players on the courts to guide newcomers around the rules of the game which is a “blend” of racket sports. “We generally find that people who like to play recreationally come in the afternoon and the more competitive players come out at night, but there’s room for everybody. Sometimes we have three courts of Titans going and one of beginners and the Titans will go over and help the beginners.” “It’s a lot of fun and good for everybody,” he says. The sport is not just for retirees, he stresses. “We’ve had kids nine years old out playing.” If you’re not a Hastings Fieldhouse member, there is a $5 drop-in charge. If you’re a member, all you do is scan your membership card when you arrive. The group has its own Facebook and SignUpGenius page (Hastings Fieldhouse Pickleball) to let people know who wants to play and when.

Warkworth — The annual perfect pie contest is returning to its regular schedule and will be back on Nov. 4 this year. The contest, after a change in scheduling last year, is returning to the first weekend of November for its 38th year. The contest will take place at the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts. Pat McLellan of the Warkworth Chapter 279 Order of the Eastern Star, which hosts the annual event, is busy contacting the media, doing advertising and getting trophies and plaques and making sure all the paperwork is done before this popular competition gets underway. “This is one of the main fundraisers for our Eastern Star,” said McLellan. “We donate part of our proceeds to special projects. This year we are donating to the Bridge Hospice and CHAMP (the Child Amputee Program). The rest we donate to our other charities ... over the years we’ve donated up to $22,000 to charities.” The long established perfect pie contest pays tribute to the history of pie making in Warkworth. The perfect pie award is a much sought after prize. There are 14 categories including apple only, filled, fruit, junior apple (kids 12 years and younger), maple syrup pie, meringue topped, men’s open, pecan, pumpkin, savoury, Warkworth members, seniors over 65, best pie made from local ingredients and youths category (ages 13 to 18 years). All pies must be dropped off between 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. so judging can happen before the contest pie auction begins. The doors open to the public at 1:30 p.m. More than 100 pies were entered last year. Pie

sampling is part of the event. “The pie contest is open to everybody. We had entries from Toronto last year. We had people visiting from Ottawa and they came. We’re drawing them in near and far so it’s good. It’s something everyone seems to enjoy,” noted McLellan, who added laughing, “You don’t want to look at a pie for a couple of weeks after but it’s a good time.” Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for children ages six to 12 years and for that ticket folks get a piece of pie, coffee or tea or juice and the chance to bid on a pie at the live auction.

Two years ago at the perfect pie contest organized by the Warkworth Chapter 279 Order of the Eastern Star, a total of 120 pies were entered: from left, Earline Armstrong, Marion Hartford, Jean Peters, Cheryl Casselman, Jean Bryan, and Georgia Jacob, five, Earline’s great granddaughter.

Highland Storm takes A win in Atom Grizzlies tournament BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora – The McDonald’s Atom Grizzlies hosted a six-team tournament last weekend, participating was the Belleville Bulls AE, Highland Storm, Lindsay Muskies, Tweed Hawks and the Napanee Stars AE. The Grizzlies would face off against the Bulls in the opening game. Tait Rosborough would get the first goal, assisted by Gavin Black. This however, would be quickly answered when the Bulls would get 2 on the board taking the lead into the second period. The visitors would keep on the pressure in the middle frame adding another two and taking a 4-1 lead in to the final period. The Grizzlies not willing to give up battled back, Carter Rowles potted two goals bringing the game to 4-3 and with two minutes to go Ryland Harvey tied the game with one of his own. The comeback was short lived as the Bulls managed to

squeeze one into the net and win the game 5-4. Rowles was Grizzlies MVP Game two for the Grizzlies was a very strong Highland Storm team. The Storm came ready to play and jumped out to a 3-0 lead before Ryland Harvey tallied for the home side. As the dusted settled the Storm took a 4-1 lead into the second. The Grizzlies battled hard in the second period but were unable to get anything to show for it and trailed 5-1 after two periods. The Grizzlies looking out of gas, fought through the final frame but the high scoring Storm proved too much to handle and won the game 10-1. Harvey was Grizzlies MVP. The Grizzlies would play the Tweed Hawks in the C-final in their Saturday tournament. Tweed would open the scoring at the three-minute mark in the first however, Harvey would get the home side all squared up before the buzzer, assists to Rosborough and Rowles.

COSSA gold for Norwood runner Marisha Thompson BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood – Marisha Thompson was golden at the COSSA cross-country championships in Lindsay Oct. 25. The Norwood District High junior runner broke away from the field at the 500-metre mark of the five-kilometre race at the Ken Reid Conservation Area and never looked back, outdistancing 43 other runners and taking gold with a 1:09 lead over silver medalist Amy Dimoglou of I.E. Weldon. It was the first girls' COSSA cross-country title in the school’s 65-year history. “I wanted to start out in front because the course is pretty small down the trails. After the

first 500 m, I started to break out,” Marisha told the Central Hastings-Trent Hills News. The win sends the Grade 10 student to the OFSAA finals at Petawawa Golf Club Nov. 3. It’s been a banner year for Marisha, starting with a COSSA gold in the midget 1500 m and bronze in the open steeplechase and a first-place finish at the Bay of Quinte Invitational CrossCountry meet Oct. 12. She trains on her own and with a group at Trent University and is supervised at NDHS by Linda Coons. “She’s made a natural transition to crosscountry,” says Coons. “The thing that makes her a champion is that she trains.”

final stanza. The Hawks would not go away quietly and continued to pressure the Grizzlies net getting three of their own in the net making the game 5-4 with about seven minutes to go. With action at both ends Curtis shut the door preserving the win from the home side. Curtis was Grizzlies MVP. The B-final match up put the Napanee AE stars against the Belleville AE Bulls. A very close game saw the Bulls score with one second on the clock to take the game 4-3. The A-final would see the Lindsay Muskies and Highland storm play. This game would play out as the first two finals and more. T he evenly balanced teams battled hard and tied at three would head to overtime. Chances at both ends would solve nothing and a shootout would be needed to decide the champs. The Storm would be victorious winning 2-1 in the shootout.

Rebels release coach Brent Tupling – but losing streak stretches to 14 games BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford – After two more humiliating losses, the Campbellford Rebels actually came close to winning a game last weekend. But that was overshadowed by news that the club had released coach Brent Tupling and promoted Bill Glover to fill his spot. Tupling’s first year behind the bench had been a rough one. The Rebels have failed to collect a point after 14 games in the East Tod Division of the Provincial Junior Hockey League, and the team has been beset by player suspensions. Forward Josh Henderson was the latest to be disciplined by the league. He was handed a minimum fourgame suspension as a result of a match penalty for attempting to injure in Campbellford’s 11-1 drubbing at home last Saturday by the Amherstview Jets. He became the eighth Rebel to be suspended this season. Two have been suspended more than once, four players for four games or more. Playing their third game in four nights, Campbellford led 4-3 going into the third period on Oct. 29, but the home team Gananoque Islanders scored two unanswered

goals to secure the win, the team’s third of the season. Mike Chambers’ second goal of the game, unassisted, at 19:05 of the second period had given the Rebels the lead. He also assisted on a goal by Brady Cross. Matt Henderson notched the other goal, and like Cross, had an assist as well. Travis Frankland stopped 39 of 44 shots in the Campbellford goal. Mike Ellis was in net in the game against the Jets, facing 43 shots. Henderson tallied Campbellford’s lone goal 3:52 into the game, which the visitors took control of with seven goals in the first period. There was no scoring by a Rebel when the team visited Picton on Oct. 26. The Pirates showed no mercy, putting 12 behind Nathan Walford on 65 shots. What stood out in the game was that there were only five penalties called, none in the second period, and Picton was handed three of them, including a five minute major and game misconduct for cross-checking to Tye Eaton. Campbellford’s next home game is Saturday, Nov. 4, when the Napanee Raiders will pay a visit. The game starts at 7:30 p.m.

Throwing rocks a sport at Marmora Curling Club BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora – Most people probably think throwing rocks is anti-social behaviour, but not according to the folks at the Marmora Curling Club. In fact, the sport is happening on the ice around the world. “The Marmora Curling Club proudly claims to be the place where friends throw rocks,” said David Allester, media relations, adding they hope to show people how much fun the sport can be as a wintertime activity. To get the curling season rolling this year, the club is offering three curling clinics on the first three Saturdays in November, for those who have never curled before or for avid curlers. Club president Paul Speight is quick to allay fears of personal injury by any rock throwing. “Club members don’t throw rocks at each other. They throw them at a target, a set of concentric rings at the far end of a sheet of ice,” he said with his tongue-in-cheek humour. The trick is to slide the rocks down the ice so they end up where they count as points for their team. That takes a few lessons and a bit of practice to master. Clinic organizer Peter Ylipelkola explained, “The clinics are open to everyone. If you’ve never curled before, you’ll learn the basics, enough to enjoy a game. If you already have some experience, this is an opportunity to polish your skills.” “This is the first time we are trying this approach here,” he added. Ylipelkola said they are hoping for as many as 32 curlers. At the time of the interview they

From left, Sue Joly, Brighton club, with Peterborough curlers Rosemary Tallevi, Maureen Harris-Lowe and Susan Barnard. Sue Dickens/Metroland

had 12 registered. There will be one coach for every four curlers. A rink is made up of skip, vice, second and lead position for those who have never played. The club will provide all the necessary equipment. Participants need only bring a clean pair of running shoes to wear on the ice. President Speight hopes that people attending the free clinics will consider joining the club afterwards. “We’re a very sociable bunch of rock-throwers. People of all ages and fitness levels can come out and have fun.” As an added incentive for new members, the club has a special “Canada 150” promotion. Newcomers pay an annual fee of only $150 to play in an unlimited number of leagues, less than half the regular rate. The first of the three clinics is Saturday, Nov. 4 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the club which is located at 2 Crawford Dr. (next to the Marmora community centre and skating arena). To register and find out more contact Peter at 613-472-5553. To learn more about the curling leagues and schedules go to: http://www.marmoracurlingclub.com.

Potter Settlement Artisan Winery visits PM BY TAYLOR BERTELINK

Centre Hastings – Potter Settlement Artisan Winery in Tweed can add to its list of accomplishments after owner, Sandor Johnson, presented his wine to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “I was told by security that he wasn’t going to hold the bottle or endorse the product, but after I told PM Justin Trudeau more about us, he grabbed the bottle for a picture and said, 'I know what you’re doing and it’s wonderful for Ontario — keep doing what you're doing,'” explained Johnson. Johnson was asked to present his wines made from Marquette and Frontenac grapes to PM Justin Trudeau on Oct. 18 in Ottawa after the Winery received several international awards. “This year I sent out the wines to international competitions and every single one it went to it brought back a major international medal. We beat out France and centuries old wineries, so it’s a big deal for us and for Hastings County,” he said. Potter Settlement Artisan Winery has only been selling their wines for

two years and since then they received awards at WineAlign National Wine Awards of Canada, InterVin and the International Cold Climate Awards in the United States. “The question was, can you get grapes to grow this far north and we proved it and that’s the reason why the prime minister had me there, along with the recognition we received from the awards,” said Johnson. Potter Settlement is located just north of Tweed on Potter Settlement Road and since the first planting in 1999, the Johnsons have worked tirelessly to grow their success from the ground up. “I had the opportunity to present our wines to past president Obama as I was part of a conference on American innovation that spurs economic growth outside the United States and so I represented Canada. I had received recognition from the president and now it’s great to receive acknowledgment from my own prime minister,” said Johnson. He explained that Trudeau told Johnson that he hopes to someday check out Hastings County and visit the winery.

The American Hockey League has officially arrived in Belleville W ith last night’s historic home-opener against the Syracuse Crunch, the Belleville Senators played their long awaited first game in the newly renovated Yardmen Arena, the first ever professional hockey game to ever be played in the Bay of Quinte region. With the calendar turning to November, Senators fans finally have the opportunity to see their new favourite players, such as Colin White, Thomas Chabot and Filip Chlapik, live in action. Over the next two weeks, the team will play six more home games. Many of the players coming through the Yardmen Arena, both on the Senators side and on visiting teams, will one day play in the NHL. In the 201617 Stanley Cup Final, 94% of players had previously played in the AHL. This season, 640 AHL graduates were on the opening night rosters of NHL teams. That’s more than 82

percent of players across the League. There is a reason why the AHL is widely considered the best league in the world outside of the NHL. This season alone, Belleville’s Chlapik, Chabot, Christian Jaros, Jack Rodewald, Max McCormick and Chris DiDomenico have all been recalled by the

28 Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, November 2, 2017

Ottawa Senators at some point. Further to that, Chabot, Chlapik and DiDomenico all went on to record their

first NHL points with DiDomenico also notching the first goal of his NHL career. And it’s not just the players. 23 of the 31 NHL head coaches to the start 2017-18 season have previously coached in the AHL. So, get ready Bay of Quinte. You never know who you will see on a nightly basis at the Yardmen Arena. It might be the next best NHL

prospect. It might be that NHL star who needs a few games to regain his step before heading back to the show. Every night will be different. Either way, this is a starting point for something big. Ticketing options are still available for the team’s weekend games on Friday, November 3rd and Saturday, November 4th. For more information, or to purchase tickets, you can visit the team’s website at www. BellevilleSens.com. It begins now!

Details emerge about couple killed Northumberland Hills Hospital BY KAREN LONGWELL

Cobourg – Details have began to surface about the couple killed at Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH). Although their names have not been released by police, family members have identified the couple who were killed at NHH on Friday, Oct. 27 as Tom and Helen Ryan. Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said the couple died following a shooting inside the emergency room in the NHH in Cobourg. The incident began after they were admitted to the emergency department for unknown aliments, said Jon Ansell, the lead SIU investigator on the incident. The couple was side by side on gurneys alone in what Ansell described as a triage room. Just after 11 p.m. a shot was heard from the triage room when nurses entered the room they found the woman had sustained a head wound. Cobourg police responded very quickly and encountered the 70-year-old man. Two police officers discharged their firearms and the man was pronounced dead on scene. A nephew of Helen Ryan said the family isn’t ready to speak as it is a very emotional time. Tom and Helen Ryan were staying at two trailer parks in Northumberland this summer and fall but planned to head back to Texas, according to both trailer park owners where they stayed. The couple stayed at Salem Woods Trailer Park for about one month, said Belle Cox, who owns the trailer park with her husband Jim Cox. Cox said the night of the shooting a care worker went to the trailer and then called police. “I don’t know why she called police,” said Cox.

After police arrived they called an ambulance for Tom Ryan and then later another ambulance for Helen Ryan, she said. The next morning at 5 a.m. Cox was shocked when police arrived with the news. Since then the SIU and OPP have come along with foren-

nice but a little quiet. Cox had heard she might have had Alzheimer’s. They had reserved one month at the trailer park and planned to return the next summer. They planned to head back to Texas. ”He was determined he was going to Texas,’ said Cox. She had told them they had to shut off the water soon and the season was ending. Stephanie Berry, who owns Castleton Hills RV Park with her husband Robert, said the couple stayed for three months before heading to Salem Woods Trailer Park. Berry said she didn’t know the couple very well but said they seemed like a normal older couple. “They seemed very nice,” said Berry adding she never witnessed fighting or violence. Berry said she was incredibly shocked to hear the news of the shooting and how Tom Ryan was described as violent and loving guns. She thought he was a very jovial man. “He liked to joke around,” she said. He had mobility issues and sometimes had to call emergency services to get a lift assist to get back in his trailer. Berry said the couple had intended to return to Texas but weren’t ready to leave so they moved to the Salem Woods Trailer Park about a month ago. Helen Ryan was a former music teacher who studied Opera at Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, according to her Facebook page. She went to Campbellford District High School. She had lived in Brenham, Texas. Numerous posts on her Facebook page indicated she was a

Woodlot conference to give glimpse of hardwood forests Batawa - Organizers say the Trenton Woodlot Conference on Nov. 24 is shaping up to be a “top-notch forestry event in eastern Ontario, providing expert information and guidance on woodlot/forest management, and hosted by the Hastings Stewardship Council.” An interactive field trip will get participants out in the woods, said the council. The keynote speaker, Dr. Warren Mabee, will present Seeing the Forest for the Trees: The Role of Woodlots in Ontario Environmental Strategies. Dr. Mabee, Canada Research Chair in Renewable Energy Development and Director of the Queen’s Institute for Energy and Environmental Policy, is well known for his engaging conversations on forestry and renewable energy. Woodlots are a great asset for any landowner: They help to manage some of our big environmental challenges. Carbon sequestered in wood can be stored in wood products or used to offset energy requirements. Woodlots provide important habitat for flora and fauna and help to maintain healthy levels of groundwater. Natural landscapes can be an asset to landowners for hunting and recreation. Also at the Conference, professional foresters Steve D’Eon and Ken Elliot will present Nudging your Hardwood Stands toward Old-growth Status. They will give a photographic tour of Ontario’s rare hardwood old-growth sites dominated by towering maple, beech, and eastern hemlock. You will

discover how to manage your woodlot to accelerate the old-growth features and nudge your stands toward old-growth status. The afternoon Field Trip is the Working Family Woodlot on a 72-acre property close to the hall. The owner, Gareth Metcalfe, and forestry professionals will walk you through recreational trail building, woodlot management, managing your woodlot for maple syrup and firewood, and tree identification on this hilly, diverse woodlot. Alternative afternoon Indoor Sessions are: Shelterbelts and Windbreaks, Selling Timber from your Woodlot, Forest Health Update on Insects and Diseases, and the Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program. Many local exhibitors, including woodworkers, will display their wares, books and services. The conference is Friday, Nov. 24. Doors open at 8 a.m.; the program begins at 9:00 am and ends at 4:00 pm. The location is the Batawa Community Centre at 81 Plant St., Batawa (north of Trenton). Admission is $35, including lunch. Pre-registration is encouraged by Nov. 16, to ensure a hot lunch. For online tickets, visit hastingsstewardship.ca. For more information, contact Matt at 613-391-9034 or info@hastingsstewardship.ca.

New immigrants could be gold mine for Hastings County BY JACK EVANS

On a blind gamble, Hastings County economic and tourism development officials attended the recent Peel Region Immigrant Job Fair and came away pleasantly surprised. Department head Andrew Redden told council last Thursday: ”We met more than 100 people looking to work in rural Ontario. Many are interested specifically in our area and we are actively assisting two we met with finding jobs in our area,” he said, describing the results as an unexpected surprise and planning to develop the initiative further. “We are staying in touch with all of those we talked to through our email newsletter.” He explained that the main problem is that most of them, because of their skills and/or income status, require jobs for married couples. This was just part of an extensive report on the activities of his department over the past year. His report took almost two hours in a special meeting of the Planning and Development Committee last week, which includes the economic development department. It included several video presentations as well. He reviewed the hiring of Mark Hanley as small business co-ordinator and Luisa Sorrentino as marketing co-

ordinator and described their efforts as substantial. He quipped about the acronym “BEER,” formed by his department’s

four key theme areas – ‘business coaching, entice people, educate people on what we have here and revitalize our products and assets.’ The word ties in

with the growing success of new craft brew businesses in the county, he suggested. Hanley has had success in attracting interest to small business seminars, drawing 68 inquiries and 118 consultations. From 44 of these consultations, there is “good potential” for 15 new starts and six expansions with a potential of 60 jobs. Special services are offered to young entrepreneurs plus financial assistance. He also reviewed the success of last summer’s launch of the “I Left the City” campaign, which has already attracted several entrepreneurial newcomers with continuing work with two serious inquiries. There are also special efforts to attract more craft brewing operations plus two prospective distillery inquiries. Redden said one key to the county’s success in drawing interest is “story telling,” letter the people who experience new lives in Hastings tell their own story. Typical is the initiative this past year to create a designated network of canoe and bicycle routes throughout the county. Both of those are top priorities for next year. He also cited the recent compilation of assessment data that shows rural Hastings County leading the region in net income gain at 21 per cent.

Memphis Bass Pro Shops megastore is located inside a Pyramid Pyramid, it felt more like I was going into a theme park or a high-end casino rather than a sporting goods store. However, I was soon staring at a massive cypress swamp, with 100-foot-tall cypress trees, treehouse cabins, humungous aquariums (with over 1,800 fish), and live wildlife (including an 84,000 gallon alligator habitat). I spotted a sign which read, “FOR THE SAFETY OF THE ALLIGATORS, PLEASE DO NOT THROW OBJECTS INTO THE EXHIBIT”. Yes, there were actual live alligators in this store! As I strolled about this megastore, and checked out its various departments, I began to see just how extensive it really was, for it had very large clothing, camping, hunting, footwear, boat, and watersports departments, among others, and these all featured many name brands and a great variety of products. There was also a 1,250-square-foot Beretta Fine Gun Centre, an archery range, a shooting range, a laser arcade, a nautical-themed restaurant and bar with a saltwater aquarium, a 10,000 gallon catfish aquarium, an ocean-themed bowling alley, and a Ducks Unlimited Waterfowling Heritage Centre (allowing visitors to learn more about the plethora of birds found along the Mississippi Flyway and the importance of conserving the area’s wetlands).

We have some very large sports stores here in Canada, including a gigantic Bass Pro Shops outlet in Vaughan, but I was rather ‘blown away’ by the size, shape, and interior of the Bass Pro Shops facility that I found on my recent visit to Memphis, Tennessee. The first thing that caught my attention about this super structure was its unusual shape. After all, it’s located inside a massive pyramid, one of the largest in the world! Therefore, it can be seen from quite a distance and seems to dominate the Memphis skyline. This incredible 535,000-square-foot structure soars 321 feet/98 metres into the air and was once known as the “Great American Pyramid”. When it was originally built (back in 1991), it was used as an arena and sports/entertainment complex. However, it was eventually closed, remodeled, and re-opened as a Bass Pro Shops megastore in 2015. As I entered the Bass Pro Shops at the

unique experience to sit out on the balcony at night, when the store is closed to the public, and gaze out at the store’s interior rather than the great outdoors. The exterior of the Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid is clad in stainless steel, and its interior contains the world’s tallest freestanding glass elevator. This elevator ride is included for hotel room guests, but for store visitors, it’s $10.00 (children can ride for $5.00 until 4 pm). I, of course, had to do this, too, and I ascended to the top of the 32-storey Pyramid. Here I found “The Lookout”, a breathtaking glass-floored observation deck that has been patterned after the Grand Canyon’s adrenaline-pumping Skywalk. It’s quite the view of the Mississippi River and downtown Memphis from up here! I also found a restaurant and bar at the top (the Lookout at the Pyramid), so I decided to stay here for a while. I can just imagine how much time an

QHC to open 15 new hospital beds with $1 million cash transfusion

When nothing but grim news about wait times and paients on stretchers in hospital emergency departments dominate headlines, Quinte Health Care got a ray of sunshine Monday. Ontario Health Minister Eric Hoskins announced Monday that $100 million is being spent to open 1,235 hospital beds throughout the province. The funding announcement translates to more than $1 million for Quinte Health Care and that means funding to cover the opening of 15 medical/surgery beds at various QHC sites. It has not yet been determined where the15 beds will be allocated. Quinte Health Care has a total 236 beds in hospitals in Bancroft, Trenton, Picton and Belleville. In a report to the QHC board, vice-president Carol Smith Romeril told board members, combined, QHC’s four hospital sites are “about 15 per cent over-capacity on a regular basis.. She said they have also hit patient “spikes” when hospitals have been as high as 30 per cent over capacity. “As with many hospitals in Ontario, QHC

over the years and the funding injection will help ease the burden of lengthy waits and even stays in emergency department while waiting for a ward bed to become available. We are grateful for this funding announcement,” said Walker.

has experienced unprecedented capacity issues over the summer months,” said communications manager Catherine Walker. “Now, as we face flu season, these additional dollars will aid in ensuring we can continue to extend quality care to our patients while remaining financially balanced.” The hospital corporation had been forced with the difficult decision of closing beds

“It is an acknowledgement of the pressures facing Ontario hospitals – and will help reduce ER lengths of stay and ensure our patients are receiving the care they need in the appropriate care areas at QHC hospitals. The additional dollars will help ensure we have the appropriate staff resources for the increased volume of patients.” -COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER CATHERINE WALKER

Author and band leader Andy Sparling had a busy night signing copies of his book: “The Commodores Orchestra –Dance of the Decades” for Anne Bunnet. Jack Evans/Metroland

BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County Historical Society Saturday passed on its normal program of a speaker and went for a book launch for one of North American’s most historic dance bands – the Belleville-based Commodores, which, next year marks its 90 continuous year of making music. Written by the current band leader, Andy Sparling, the book has a special interest for the society as it effectively put up the money to have the book, titled “The Commodores Orchestra – Dance of the Decades,” published. To signify that, society president Richard Hughes formally presented Sparling with the first copy of the book before the orchestra launched into a program for dancing or just listening to a capacity crowd of more than 200 in the National Air Force Museum of Canada. Close to 100 patrons also got sales off to a good start during the evening. In the book’s forward, prominent Canadian author Peter C. Newman, who was

Lou Rinaldi, MPP

Lest We Forget

among the special guests for the evening, noted that the Commodores gave their first performance in the spring of 1928 at the former Bay of Quinte Golf Club and have been going ever since. He goes on to describe the band’s sound as “an enduring interpretation of the music of our times.” Other special guests included Quinte native and internationally known drummer, Brian Barlow who is also a deejay on CJRT (Jazz) radio, Toronto, Big Band program Sunday afternoons, as master of ceremonies. He described The Commodores as “one of the most successful musical ensembles in Canadian history.” The band claims to be the oldest continuing dance band in Canada and probably in North America. Hughes, a long-time admirer of the orchestra, said when he heard Sparling was working on a history for its 90th anniversary, he figured that the society should be involved, and promptly agreed to be publisher for the book, now available for $25 a copy. While many in the audience sat and enjoyed the music, there were plenty of couples up dancing the evening away. Historical Society officials must now figure out what to do for an encore for next year’s fund-raising banquet.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Find a way to fund needs for towns, cities ultimate leather SALE Re: Editorial, Oct. 26: “Municipalities can’t bear the burden” Dear Editor, Ontario’s municipal governments face a funding gap of $4.9 billion each year for the next 10 years and property taxes would have to rise to 8% annually to fill it. That’s a massive increase for property taxpayers. Yet our roads, bridges, transit and other services are used by everyone, including visitors. Municipalities only collect 9% of every household tax dollar. They do not have access to the “myriad of revenue options the province has.” That’s why AMO is proposing a greater Local Share of tax dollars for our communities by way of a 1% sales tax dedicated to municipal infrastructure. When provincial parties dismiss this proposal outright, they’re not fighting for lower taxes, they’re simply shifting the burden onto the property tax base. They are in effect choosing higher property taxes over other options. If Ontarians want to live in 21st century communities, we can’t keep funding municipal governments the way we did in 1867. Lynn Dollin, President, Association of Municipalities of Ontario

Prompt and competent support by a wide range of community partners played a key role in getting Hastings County’s application for provincial funding for the Home for Good project, council was reminded last week. The much-discussed project drew some $6 million in funding, approved by the province for a provincial Home for Good program build of 40-units for the county to own and operate, including 24-7 on-site support for those who are homeless or particularly vulnerable in finding safe housing. The funding goes beyond just the building and includes rent-geared-to-income support dollars for the new units, plus support for the homeless or at-risk homeless in the private sector. The county has already issued a request for proposals on Oct. 7 following notification of the provincial approval on Sept. 11 and is looking to take over the new building after it is completed, targeted for October of next year. The county’s application came shortly after the province announced the new program in response to a well-recognized homeless problem in the area, put together with documentation by several community agencies all involved in homeless problems. These included ambulance, fire and police services plus health agencies, mental health and the regional welfare department. All of those groups regularly encounter those individuals who are in dire need of supported or affordable accommodations. “We want to thank all of our partners for their immediate response of preparing letters of support and partnerships that were created as a result of this important initiative,” an Hastings County Warden Rodney Cooney. article in the county’s official Hastings County Times presented to council, states. “Further information will be provided as the project continues in 2018.”

Take It Outside

More than just a spot to store your shovel The garden shed has made an amazing transformation over the last few years. No longer are homeowners satisfied with a little wooden shed in the back corner of the yard. Sheds now have to look good, hold more and even act as privacy screens as they are becoming a focal point in our outdoor living spaces. There are two reasons why this is happening. The first, backyards are getting smaller as homes are getting bigger. The available space outdoors is shrinking as we give up yard space for home space. This means that it is getting harder to hide our beat-up tins sheds behind a large bush anymore. If we want a spot to store the shovels and the mower, we have to be

prepared to have guests see it. The other main reason has to do with our need for more. With all of the fantastic tools and outdoor furniture available, our need for storage has increased dramatically as we acquire more things. This means that our sheds are getting larger, making them even harder to keep discrete. Instead of helping my clients hide their sheds, I am encouraging them to bring their sheds front and centre. Here are two perfect examples of how sheds can be so much more in your backyard space. Tracyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shed: Tracy has a very common dilemma.

The stone took about 5 hours to install, but completely changed the look of the shed. Now Shoanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shed is a stunning focal point that has ample storage and completely changes the feel of the yard. With so many ways to make your shed more than a storage space, why wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you want to make a change? Try something different this summer and make sure you send me a picture.

ing it multi-purpose for the whole family. Shoanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shed: Shoana wanted a shed at the back of her property but for a very different reason. Shoana wanted to use her shed as a backdrop for a long and linear space. Often called a bowling alley, this type of yard is tricky because the width is significantly smaller than the length, which means all of the elements have to bisect the space, effectively chopping it up. By filling the entire back of the space with a large and visually dominant focal point, we not only give it purpose, we made the yard feel shorter by changing the visual lines of sight. With a modern aesthetic, Shoana wanted her shed to blend with the

means their windows look straight into her yard. To help solve the problem, I incorporated a unique shed style to both look good, but to also to create some privacy for Tracy and her family. I used a saltbox roof styled shed to both anchor Tracyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backyard. The average height of a peaked roof on these new sheds is 12-15â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and by adding a pair of lattice panels topped with a decorative arbour on each side of the shed, I was able to create instant privacy that is beautiful and functional at the same time. My favourite part of this transformation is that the shed not only holds all of the tools, but now Tracyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children have hijacked the space as their playhouse, mak-

Broadband across rural areas a success story in progress: Hastings officials BY JACK EVANS

A recent conference of the Eastern Ontario Regional Caucus, held in Toronto was a positive event and a local initiative continues to draw praise, Hastings County officials reported to council last week. Warden Rodney Cooney said the event drew a full complement of Eastern Ontario county representatives plus their respective MPPs, several cabinet ministers and even a visit by Premier Kathleen Wynne. A key issue was more provincial support to expand broadband Internet services in rural areas. CAO Jim Pine said the successful expansion of broadband access for rural municipalities in Eastern Ontario is now drawing interest from other parts of Ontario and even jurisdictions in Alberta and other provinces. Originally a Hastings County initiative several years ago,

B12 Section B - Thursday, November 2, 2017

glass fibre cable and broadband services have already reached as far as Maynooth and while much of the county is covered, smaller gaps still remain. The service that has been completed already has had substantial impact in business and residential development in northern areas, county officials said. Such an initiative requires funding and, for the program to expand, the county and others in Eastern Ontario are going to need more from senior government. “The provincial official did not tell us to go away,” said Pine, indicating that chances for more provincial and federal support for the broadband initiative remains on the table. Cooney said, on another pressing issue, there was little discussion at the caucus about planning concerns and provincial policies that seem geared to limiting residential growth in rural areas.

New disease threatens area deer population BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County - Not the kind of story some won’t want to hear just as deer hunting season starts, but wildlife management officials are calling on hunters and rural property owners to watch out for epizootic hemorrhagic disease, known as EHD. A notice from the Ministry of Natural Resources to Hastings County council last week explained that the disease is “an infectious and often fatal virus in white-tailed deer.” It is recognized by signs of extensive hemorrhages at numerous sites throughout the body, including a blue tongue and is spread by midges, commonly referred to as “no see-ums.” The letter states that “hunters, wildlife managers, farmers and livestock owners need to know about EHD and its ability to cause large-scale outbreaks in deer and its potential implications to domestic livestock. There are no available

effective treatments or vaccinations.” Originating in the southern United States, the disease causes loss of appetite, loss of fear of people, weakness, excessive salivation, rapid pulse and fever. The latter leads to deer seeking water to cool off and carcasses are often found near shorelines. The ministry is working with Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative and other agencies to monitor the extent of the virus in Ontario. Those who see signs of infected animals are being asked to report them to the Canadian Wildlife Health Co-operatiave at 1-866-6734781 and also to submit carcasses or vital organs promptly before decay . Instructions on this are available at website www.cwhc-rcsf.ca. Rules about carcass disposal are also available at municipal offices. By way of light at the tunnel’s end, the disease is no threat to humans.

In the latest installment of the ‘local resident wins lotto’ saga, Mary Labine of Belleville travelled to Toronto recently to claim her winnings, totaling $122,497 in the August 9, 6/49 draw. She waited more than two months to collect her winnings, for reasons that weren’t explained.

Ontario Lottery & Gaming did not release any further information about the winner or what she plans to do with the windfall, but said the winning ticket was purchased at Rossmore Stop on Highway 62 in Prince Edward County.

Tourism awards draw strong interest BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County’s “HOTie” tourist award program is no longer small time, say organizers. This year’s competition, held last week in Bancroft, drew some 132 nominations for just three awards, two of which were won by the municipality of Tweed and a Tweed theatre group. Warden Rodney Cooney and other members of county council last Thursday took time to congratulate the Tweed community for garnering two of the three major awards. One was for the village itself and its hugely successful “Farm to Table” banquet last summer. That garnered Festival of the Year award. Also in Tweed was the Tourism Champion of the Year for the

original Tweed musical by Tim Porter and the Tweed and Company Theatre for its Canada 150th special project. The several performances in July drew large crowds. The final award, MVP (Individual of the Year) went to Nancy Hopkins, publisher and editor of Country Roads Magazine. Councillors also had some suggestions though, upon which economic and tourism director Andrew Redden said he would act. They want runner-up awards, considering the large number of nominations. Only three prizes for 132 nominations was not fair enough, several contended. The program is administered by Hastings Highlands and its Chamber of Commerce.

‘Rural Schools Matter’ drive underway A local effort has begun to help support a province-wide call to protect rural schools from closures and amalgamations. Over the past few weeks Rural Schools Matter has released a petition throughout the province of Ontario asking the Ontario Ministry of Education to make their moratorium on school closures retroactive to September 2016, to provide fair and equitable Pupil Accommodation Review processes that school boards must follow, and review the current Funding Formulae for all rural, northern and urban schools. Several MPPs across the province have given positive feedback about this initiative and plan to present the petition to the Ontario Legislative Assembly over the next several weeks starting with Peggy Sattler, NDP Education Critic, on Wednesday, 18 October. Locally, PC MPP Todd Smith will be presenting the petition on behalf of the Hastings Prince Edward riding during the week of Nov. 15. On June 28, the Ministry of Education declared a moratorium on school closures. After a provincewide consultation process, the Ministry decided the Pupil Accommodation Review Guideline was flawed and in need of an overhaul. The moratorium will remain in place until the Guideline has been redone. In the meantime, several schools, such as Queen Elizabeth in Picton and Quinte and Moira Secondary in Belleville, remain open having been voted for closure by school boards using the old Guideline. Rural Schools Matter believes it would be in the spirit of the moratorium to allow these schools to remain open until the need for their closure can be

reassessed under the new Guideline, giving boards a chance to reconsider their decisions using a more equitable process. We recognize we can’t change those closures already completed, but we hope this petition gives Ontario voters a chance to tell the Education Minister that we want students to remain in schools set to close in June 2018, or later. For those schools not yet affected by Accommodation Reviews, your voice must be heard as well. This petition asks for better educational opportunities through programming, staffing and building maintenance, if the funding model for rural schools is changed and as student populations decline it might mean the difference in how school closures are decided in future. Over the past year Rural Schools Matter has been working to highlight the importance of small, rural schools, not only in our area, but everywhere. It is our feeling that single-school communities depend quite heavily on their schools to be sustainable. When schools are closed in these communities it becomes very difficult to attract young families resulting in a slow die-out as jobs disappear and the population ages. Our goals are to maintain awareness of the critical role schools play in their communities and to protect these schools now and in the future. Signatures can be added by anyone (not just parents) living within the Hastings Prince Edward School Board district. Currently there is a copy of the petition at Kelly’s Shop on the Main Street in Picton. If you are interested in hosting the petition at your business, or just signing, you can contact J.J. Syer at jjsyer@yahoo.ca. All petitions must be completed and collected by Monday, Nov. 6.

CAS honours foster parents BY JACK EVANS

Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society has had a busy October, with its “purple” theme for Child Protection Month, as well as National Foster Family Week, Oct. 1521. At two separate banquets, one on Oct 19 at Occasions by the Bay in Trenton and on Oct. 20 at The Gate Restaurant in Gilmore for North Hastings, the society handed out service recognition awards to 44 foster parents or couples representing five through 35 years. The only 35 – year award went to Pat Andrews of Northumberland County, part of the area the reorganized agency now serves, as well as Hastings and Prince Edward counties. Another special award, the Board of Directors award, was presented to Ernie and Linda Parsons at the Trenton banquet in

recognition of not only foster parenting for 30 years, but also Ernie’s years of service on the board and his support for the agency during the several years he served as MPP. A 30-year award also went to Catherine and John O’Rourke of Hastings County, plus 25 years for Kelli and Victor Estabrooks, of Gardenville, Prince Edward County. Twenty — year awards went to Joyce and Tom Reid, Janet and Paul Lyons, all of Hastings County and Bill and Joanne Van Den Broek of Northumberland. Recipients were scattered throughout all three counties. The society constantly needs new, competent foster parents and hopes that such recognition will encourage more citizens to participate.
