Perhaps the most touching moment was when Jane Kennedy of Peterborough, whose father fought in Europe, with her granddaughter Madison Beattie, nine, of Madoc, both strangers to Anderson, walked over to shake his hand and she said, “I can’t imagine what you did. I want to thank you.”

Joining the home guard in England at age 16 during the blitz, then signing up with the Royal Navy at age 18, Anderson fought in Algiers on a ship in the Mediterranean. “I was a leading seaman when I retired,” he said at the service wearing his five medals, the 1945-49 star, the Africa star, Burma star, defence medal and a war medal. “We’ve got to be on our guard the way things are at the moment with relations between countries ... countries haven’t the same principles as we know and had,” he commented.

Bob Crate new mayor of Trent Hills, seat open in Hastings ward BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Trent Hills - Bob Crate is the new mayor of Trent Hills and Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan its deputy mayor. Both were promoted by appointment at council's Nov. 7 meeting in response to the recent death of Hector Macmillan, who had been mayor since 2003. Macmillan died of pneumonia on Oct. 10, weakened by pancreatic cancer. Coun. Bill Thompson nominated Crate, who had served as deputy mayor, saying he had done “a great job” filling in for Macmillan. He noted council “has started a lot of things” and it “should be willing ... to fulfil some of Hector's dreams,” with Crate at the helm, as he was the best one for the job. “It's a strange moment for me to be speaking as a the mayor,” Crate said, a catch in his voice. “Hector was larger than life and he loved the community ... as much as I do. “I'm very pleased and thankful that council has given me this opportunity and I look forward to doing my best to represent Trent Hills in a way that will make everyone proud,” he continued. “If someone has a question or ... an idea, please come forward. We're always looking for ways to make Trent Hills a better place and more representative of those who live here.” Asked about his interest in running for mayor next year, Crate replied: “What I thought was, this is a great way to look at the whole situation and see how it goes,” adding with a smile, and “how they treat me over the next few months.” Thompson also nominated Coun. Kelleher-MacLennan for deputy mayor. It will be her second stint performing that role. There is still the matter of filling a vacancy on council, that of representative for Ward 3 (Hastings), which had been Crate's responsibility. Council decided to advertise the vacancy and invite submissions from residents of Trent Hills interested in serving as councillor. The position needs to be filled before Christmas.
Bob Crate has moved up from being deputy mayor of Trent Hills to mayor, with the unanimous support of his council. John Campbell/Metroland
It will be “an open and transparent process,” director of legislative services/clerk Doug Irwin said. Individuals who submit their names will make their presentations “at an open meeting to council next month.” Council will then make its decision behind closed doors. Anyone who lives in Trent Hills and “is a qualified as a voter” can apply to fill the seat, Coun. Cathy Redden stressed, “even though they will represent Ward 3. It's not required that they live there.” She added: “It's an opportunity for individuals who are testing the waters, because as we know next year will be an election year ... It gives them an opportunity to learn.” It's also opens the door to those who have served on council. Their experience and interest “can certainly help in terms of our decision-making, to get someone to work with us for the next year,” Redden continued. Council will be “very open-minded” in making its selection, she said.
Ministry of Labour charges Campbellford company where worker died BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford – The Ministry of Labour has charged a local company and two directors in connection with the death of a young worker there last January. Bailey McDonald, 18, died when he became trapped between two 53-foot trailers at Mintech Marketing Inc. in Tanner Industrial Park. He had worked at the recycling company three months. Mintech was charged under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA) with three counts: failing to ensure that equipment and materials, in this case, trailers, provided by the
employer “were in good shape”: failing to ensure the transport trailers were parked or stored “so that they would not tip, collapse or fail,” and; failing to “take every precaution reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of the health and safety of a worker,” Two directors, Dale McLelland and Wendy Coulombe, were charged under OSHA with failing to “take all reasonable care to ensure that the corporation complied with the Act and its regulations.” The defendants are to make their first court appearance at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg on Dec. 6.

Tickets selling briskly for Next Generation Leahy show BY BILL FREEMAN
Norwood — Tickets are being snapped up for the Next Generation Leahy concert in Norwood on Mother’s Day. It might seem like a long way off, but it’s no surprise that tickets for show — a fundraiser for the Hospice Norwood — are in demand as the Christmas shopping season gets into swing. The concert at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre is a gift to the community from the Norwood Agricultural Society, which will celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2018. The society is sponsoring the evening
with all proceeds to Hospice Norwood. The Leahy’s played a sold-out show in 2013 as part of the Norwood Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire’s (IODE) centennial celebrations and five years later, it’s the next generation on stage with Adele, 13, Gregory, 12, Angus, 10, Cecilia, eight, Joseph, seven and Evelyn, five, joining their parents Doug and Jennifer on stage. With 1,000 reserved seats at $35, the concert could be a $35,000 windfall for Hospice Norwood. The tickets are being sold exclusively at Lynn’s Flowers on County Road 45. “They’re selling steadily (and) we
anticipate sales to increase in the next few weeks,” Lynn Wilson said. “Many tickets have been sold but there are still good seats available.” The concert is a spectacular way to help Hospice Norwood and celebrate a milestone year for the agricultural society.
“The fair board wanted to do something special,” -AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY MANAGER PAUL QUINLAN
“This is going to be a really good show and the Fair Board is excited about it. One hundred per cent of the sales go to Hospice.”
The Hospice Norwood’s capital goal is $500,000 to upgrade and repurpose a house on Highway 7 in the village. The century home was the longtime residence of the late J.J. Stewart and his wife Marguerite and was sold to Hospice Norwood by the Stewart family for one dollar. “Having put on a Leahy show, some of us know what’s involved and it’s a huge amount of time, work and money,” says Hospice Norwood board member Rose Millet, who is also an IODE member. “(It’s) so extremely generous and a great show of support for Hospice Norwood.
Warkworth country entertainer to perform at Ah fundraiser BY SUE DICKENS
Warkworth — Sacha Visagie — with a country folk background rooted in Warkworth, will be performing at Ah’s fourth annual variety show. The show, slated for Saturday, Nov. 18, is a fundraiser for the Arts and Heritage Centre. During the show, she will perform her song Small Town History at Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts.

Centre Hastings Secondary School launches distracted driving initiative BY TAYLOR BERTELINK
Madoc — Students here have promised to keep their eyes off the phone when on the road during “pledge” day at Centre Hastings Secondary School (CHSS) on Nov. 8. CHSS, along with Hastings Prince Edward Public Health Unit and Central Hastings OPP launched the school-led initiative for National Teen Driving Safety at the school. “It’s a message that everyone is affected by whether you are the driver or the passenger. So I thought it was a really important campaign to have especially in our rural school to promote how important it is to focus on the road,” explained Amy Young, French teacher at CHSS and organizer of the school campaign. The Hastings Prince Edward Public Health Unit se-
lected CHSS for the National Teen Driving Safety campaign and provided them with banner for their "pledge" day. Hundreds of students made the Centurion Pledge and Focus on the Future by signing a large banner and showing their support for a safer community. “Starting Nov. 1 we have held different activities throughout the week to promote the message that even as a passenger you have a roll to play in stopping distracted driving,” said Young. Grade 10 student Andrew Shipley handed out lanyards, funded by the Community Police Advisory Committee, to students who took the “pledge” by signing their name on the banner. “There are so many accidents because of distracted driving so we are just trying to get people more aware
to stop this from happening — I don’t have my licence but I stop my parents from texting and driving. When they get texts while driving I will respond for them,” said Shipley. The Health Unit introduced a game to the students that simulates how difficult multi-tasking can be — especially for teenagers. Student had to try to send a text message to a friend or loved one while placing matching items on the board in under 30 seconds. “They soon realize that they can’t send a text message that’s correctly spelled and do the activity at the same time,” said Staff Sergeant Scott Semple, Central Hastings OPP. “Texting and driving has become the leading cause of fatal motor vehicle accidents in Ontario — it’s a huge
issue for us,” explained Semple. Distracted driving not only includes texting and driving but also eating while driving, choosing a playlist, reading or typing a destination into a GPS behind the wheel all count as distracted driving — and they put you and others at risk. If caught driving distracted, the driver will be charged a $490 fine plus three demerit points. “Most high school students have probably been texting for several years already but they haven't been driving — we have to make it front and centre that texting while driving is such a risky behaviour,” said Semple. The banner covered with signatures will be hung in the school's cafeteria to act as a reminder to the students when they see it that they have taken a pledge to not text and drive.

OPINION
DisGrace in Zimbabwe Grace Mugabe, second wife of Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe, had a moment of awful clarity about her future three years ago. Speaking about Joice Mujuru, the woman who was then viceand the Gwynne Dyer president elderly president’s likely successor, she said: “She has been telling people that once Mugabe is gone ... she will drag me in the streets, with people laughing while my flesh sticks to the tarmac.” It’s doubtful that Mujuru said any such thing, but it was very revealing about Grace Mugabe’s fears. So she had a word with her husband, and Joice Mujuru was no longer vice-president. She was replaced by Emmerson Mnangagwa, who served as Mugabe’s special assistant during the liberation war of the 1970s and had been close to him ever since. Mnangagwa survived an attempted poisoning in August, but now he is gone too. People began to see him as the heir apparent, so on Sunday Grace Mugabe told a rally in Harare “The snake must be hit on the head. We must deal with the real snake behind the factions and discord in the party.” Last Monday, Mnangagwa was fired in an official statement that accused him of “traits of disloyalty.” It was almost verbatim the same statement that was issued when Joice Mujuru was dismissed in 2014 – and it is expected that Grace Mugabe will be appointed vice-president herself at a special congress of the ruling Zanu-PF party next month. It looks like ambition run amok, but it’s actually more complicated than that. She is rich and powerful at the moment, but as Zimbabwean journalist Andy Moyse pointed out a couple of years ago: “She’s going to be terribly exposed once (Robert Mugabe) is gone because there’s no political structure to save her. She’s trying to entrench her position and her assets.” Grace Marufu was a 20-year-old typist at State House in Harare when Robert Mugabe, 44 years her senior, started to take an interest in her. She was already married to her childhood sweetheart, an air force pilot, but one thing led to another and she had her first child with Mugabe as his wife lay dying of kidney failure. She later divorced her husband, and in 1996 she became Zimbabwe’s ‘First Lady’ by marrying Mugabe.

For the next 18 years she took no visible interest in politics, but her frequent and expensive shopping trips abroad – she allegedly once spent $120,000 in a single day in Paris, and she was spotted in the business class lounge at Singapore airport with fifteen trolleys full of purchases – made her deeply unpopular with the Zimbabwean public. She was known as the ‘First Shopper’, or ‘Gucci Grace’, or just ‘DisGrace’. And then, three years ago, everything changed. It was probably just Mugabe’s advancing age that made her realize how vulnerable she would be after he died. He’s in pretty good shape for 93, but he clearly isn’t going to be around much longer. So she suddenly plunged into politics. She had her husband make her the head of the powerful women’s league of the ruling Zanu-PF party, she was awarded a PhD in sociology by the University of Zimbabwe in the record time of two months (no thesis has ever surfaced), and Dr. Grace Mugabe started traveling around the country holding rallies that became known as the ‘Graceland Tour’. All the senior members of Zanu-PF are quite rich, but she is probably the richest of all, so she has resources to buy allies. She has the Old Man wrapped around her finger, and he holds absolute power for as long as he stays alive and alert. In only three years she has shoved aside all the other contenders for the succession. “They say I want to be president,” she said. “Why not? Am I not Zimbabwean?” And president she will be after Robert Mugabe dies – at least for a week or two. But she has made a lot of enemies in the party, and she has no real popular support. Grace Mugabe is literally a bare-knuckle fighter. In 2002 she beat up a journalist who offended her using a “knuckle-duster of diamond rings”, as one report put it. Just this September she assaulted a young South African “model” whom she caught visiting her grown sons, who are both living the high life in Johannesburg. She won’t go down easily – but she almost certainly will go down. It was not Grace Mugabe who turned Zimbabwe into an economic wreck so extreme that most people’s main source of income is remittances from the fifth of the Zimbabwean population that has fled to South Africa or Botswana. Her husband is really to blame for this human disaster, but her extravagant spending makes her a target for the resentment too. Once he dies, she will be lucky to get out alive.

Crash pundits, a hockey great and Vimy oaks Editorial by Chris Malette Some observations from the Editor’s Desk: In news items over the past week, we’ve seen some interesting, if not troubling, trends in social media, some sad milestones and a poignant gesture, the legacy of which will be experienced, hopefully, for generations to come. First off, in Belleville we had a violent crash involving an Ontario Provincial Police cruiser and a civilian vehicle, a sedan, on Dundas Street West at Sidney Street late last Thursday night. Your humble correspondent has covered countless car wrecks, too many of them fatal, over the years and this was a horrific impact – so much so that, had this collision involved vehicles on the road some 25-30 years ago, we would be talking about fatalities to most involved. As it was, there were five people hurt – three of them seriously, two of those three police officers who were in a large Ford sport utility vehicle. That vehicle wound up against a concrete utility pole and the occupants, the two coppers and a prisoner, were all taken to hospital. The driver of the other vehicle in this head-on wreck, not surprisingly, was also seriously hurt. When we posted this item to our website, it appeared on other forums in the form of a news item with the photograph accompanying it. The comments, while mostly respectful and observational, naturally veered to the cruel, the ignorant and the obscene. A classic example of the seeming nonchalant habit of too many online pundits, these days, to simply spew their ill-bred, ill-informed opinions thusly: “Probably the cops fault. They don’t follow the law either. I’ve seen many use there (sic) phones while driving. Not wear seat belt. Pull through a light quick with lights on then turn them off. Etc. The list goes on.. so u really never know whose (sic) at fault. We got rear ended by a cop in tweed 5 years ago. Brutal!” To which someone who supports police quickly responded: “Wow....didn’t take long for the “blame the cops” “it must have been the speeding cop” “cops will get away with it” “cops fault probably” comments to start pouring in. Pathetic! Police officers aren’t perfect. They’re human beings and they’re flawed just like every other single human being on the face of this earth ...” You get the idea. It can sometimes make your head spin to wade into the miasma that is the comments under news items on the Internet.

Still, it’s a necessary evil as we’re told this, ladies and gentlemen, is the future of our news reporting where everyone’s a pundit and the traditional news gatherers – us – are no longer to be trusted or believed to bring you the whole story…. Sigh. ••• It was with heavy hearts, for some of us who know the family or who, of a certain age, recall the sheer joy and pride that the hockey McFarlands brought to the region half a century ago when we learned of the passing of the team and family’s leader, Floyd Crawford. Floyd died early Saturday morning surrounded by family members at age 88 and boy what a family it is. Floyd’s hockey exploits have been extolled for decades in these parts, but it’s the legacy he leaves in his sons and daughters that many of us now know. As we reported this week, Floyd and wife Pauline raised nine rambunctious, athletic and terrific children in Belleville. Many of those nine have stayed on in these parts to bring on another generation of Crawfords and, it says here, we’re the better for it. Here’s to a terrific family and Cheers to a hockey hero and a mentor to many a young hockey player in these parts. ••• Finally, we saw this past week the planting of the last of four Vimy Oaks in these parts. Fascinating story behind them and let’s hope they fluourish, grow and serve as a silent sentinel for those who gave the final sacrifice at Vimy Ridge in the First War. As the story goes, to serve as a keepsake from his term of service, a Canadian soldier, Lt. Leslie Miller, removed acorns from a fallen oak tree at Vimy Ridge. He sent these home to be planted, on his farm, in Scarborough where the trees eventually flourished and were named The Vimy Oaks. The saplings produced from The Vimy Oaks will be used to replenish the Vimy Foundation Centennial Park, in France, and also serve as commemorative trees all across Canada. Four Vimy Oak saplings were planted across the Bay of Quinte, in Bain Park, in Quinte West; Wellington Park, in Prince Edward County; Albert College, in Belleville; and Belleville’s Memorial Park. Let’s hope they fare better than the Royal Oak that was allowed to wither and die on the parking lot of what is now the Metro Store plaza on North Front Street in Belleville.

Hospital auxiliary’s Christmas café and bazaar features teddy bear clinic SUE DICKENS
Campbellford — Meeting Santa and having a picture taken with jolly old St. Nick is one way the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Auxiliary is hoping to attract people to support their annual Christmas café and bazaar on Nov. 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For the little ones, there will be a teddy bear clinic for kids who want to bring their sick teddy bear for care. “We will also be having a gift shop for kids to buy for their parents with items priced under $10,” said Sheila Turner, who handles publicity for the auxiliary. “It’s the children’s secret Santa shop,” she added with a grin. “As usual, we will have bake tables, a
silent auction, white elephant sale and the wonderful café lunch. Our menu has changed so we now have a children's menu for $3. Adults are $7,” she added. Last year when the fundraising café and bazaar were held, the auxiliary raised more than $5,000. They hope to top that figure this year. “The money is used to aid in the purchase of the new and improved equipment for the hospital. I am very proud of everyone’s efforts and hard work,” said Turner. The Christmas café and bazaar will be held at St. John’s United Church, 50 Bridge St. W., Campbellford.

New playground on wish list BY BILL FREEMAN
Norwood — A new playground and park in a burgeoning Norwood Park Estates subdivision is on the 2018 budget wish list for the Asphodel-Norwood parks and recreation department. Parks and recreation manager Greg Hartwick presented council with his five-year parks plan, a document that will give councillors food for thought as they work their way through this year’s budget process. The capital upgrades are “necessary to ensure that the parks are maintained for future enjoyment by our residents,” says Hartwick. “The plan will be a vital decisionmaking tool for council and staff,” he says. Some of the upgrades are to make sure the municipality is in compliance with current safety and accessibility regulations. Hartwick’s plan outlines both the scope and costs associated with the work. Projected costs in 2018 across all of the township’s parks is $74,910 with $43,400 of that covered by development fees. The five-year plan rings in at an estimated $189,440. Norwood is experiencing a development boom and Hartwick’s plan calls for the creation of a park-playground in the 57,164 square foot green space in the middle of a block of new homes constructed between Millpond Lane
and Helen Street north of Highway 7.

Tweed council approved to rezone land on Bosley Road BY TAYLOR BERTELINK
Tweed — Tweed is moving forward in their plans to allow for a new leadership camp to take shape. On Wednesday, Tweed council voted in favour to rezone land at 674 Bosley Rd. from residential to recreational/resort commercial. The knowledge, awareness, mentoring, prevention program, better known as KAMP, is a leadership camp geared toward students and is currently running in Toronto — the organization is looking to expand to Tweed, to expose kids to an environment outside the city. While there have been three meetings since August this year, much controversy has come from the proposed changes. “The biggest fear at the first meeting was that the building was a group home, that we were bringing young offenders and they were going to be running a-muck but it’s not — it’s a leadership camp for kids who wouldn’t normally get the opportunity,” said Mayor Jo-Anne Albert. In Wednesday’s meeting, Terry Mandzy presented terms and conditions developed with input from Bosley Road neighbours who may be negatively impacted by the proposed KAMP. He stated a number of stipulations concerning safety, environment, trespass and miscellaneous items. For example: “That KAMP prohibit the use of outboard motors on the river by its clients and personnel — to prevent oil slicks that would ac-

Vintage photos capture a bit of Hastings’ history BY BILL FREEMAN
Hastings — The Hastings Historical Society has a perfect Christmas present for fans of vintage photographs. The society has taken a break from its yearly calendars to produce something new — Hastings in Pictures From the Beginning. “It’s been talked about a while. We finally got the push to do it this year,” says Hastings Historical Society (HHS) executive and vintage post card collector Jim Coveney. Coveney says the society has heard from lots of people who’ve had trouble finding old HHS calendars. The book allows them to collate some of the photos used in past calendars with a rich assortment of new ones. “There’s a lot of great pictures,” he says. “The idea of the book has gone over very well.” The HHS decided to put its effort this year into the book rather than the calendar, said Coveney. “This is Hastings in pictures and that is exactly what it is, a pictorial book with descriptions. This is the only way you could get that many pictures (in).” The book also contains some historical information from sources like Wilfrid
Lynch’s book Birth of a Village and the Trent University archives; it’s divided into four time sections with historical notes preceding each. “We’re just scratching the surface of what is possible,” says Coveney. “It’s doing what we want it to do and we’re just waiting for the reaction of people.” He says it would have been nice to have had the book available at the Hastings Waterfront Festival, but there could be another print run if demand remains high. “We have regular customers every year at the festival and they expect us to have stuff like that. Summer visitors love this sort of thing.” “For people who like vintage photos, we’ve got it here. People will use it for a long time.” Coveney says it’s still difficult to track down photos of the old Hastings railway station. “I do a search every day for Hastings photos. It’s harder to get the ones we haven’t seen, but they’re out there. Every once in a while we’ll get some we had no idea existed.” The books are $30 each. They can be purchased at the Water Lily and Bridgewater Café and through the HHS.

BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling — A three-day show held Friday through Sunday, Nov. 3-5, at Stirling's historic train station was an unqualified success for members of the Group of Eleven. Even the relentless rain on Sunday failed to deter people, with many visitors showing up in the afternoon. Ardith Irvine, one of the members of the group, said 11 artists took part in this year's show, which featured paintings done in oils, watercolour and acrylic as well as drawings and mixed-media pieces. She said the group, which
actually includes about 16 members now, includes artists from Stirling and the surrounding communities. They have been getting together to paint and learn about art for about 15 years, and the members began holding an annual show in Stirling about four years ago, she said. This year's renewal included a wide variety of subjects from landscapes and florals to animals, birds and abstracts. Many of the artists were actively painting during the three-day event, and happily talked to visitors about how and what they were creating.

Terry McNamee/Metroland
community relations officer at Quinte First, came up with the idea after hearing about the need for funding for the splash pad from co-worker Kim Johnson, who lives in Stirling and is on the splash pad committee. “We wanted to do something fun, something a little bit different,” Christmann said. “We thought it would be a really great event.” She said musicians Derek Arsenault of Frankford, Deb O'Connor of the Stirling area and Rob Waite of Belleville are performing. The event is free of
charge and open to everyone ages 19 and older. Money will be raised through donations and a cash bar. There will be food and non-alcoholic drinks available as well. Johnson said that Quinte First does a lot of free community events, but this is the first fundraiser of this kind. She and Christmann said they hope to make it an annual event, supporting a different charity each year.

Stirling remembers fallen heroes on Nov. 11 BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling — On a bright, still morning, the silence in downtown Stirling was absolute and the lowered Canadian flag hung unmoving as people paused to remember the fallen Canadian heroes of two world wars and the many conflicts that have followed. But as the bugle marked the end of the two minutes, a breeze sprang up, causing the flag to wave until the sound died away and the calm returned. It was a fitting moment as Stirling marked Remembrance Day on the occasion of Canada's 150th birthday and the 100th anniversary of both the Battle of Passchendaele and the Battle of Vimy Ridge in the First World War. StirlingRawdon lost 34 soldiers in that first war, and another 17 in the second. Stirling's Royal Canadian Legion Branch 228 hosted the ceremonies at the cenotaphs in both Harold and Stirling on Saturday. Wreaths were laid by local representatives and organizations, current members of the Canadian Armed
Forces from CFB Trenton and by members of families who lost relatives in wartime. Ruthanne Chrysler represented the Silver Cross Mothers who have lost children in service to their country. Second World War veterans John Mylod and Ted Morin laid wreaths on behalf of Bomber Command and the Towers Retirement Residence respectively. Grade 8 student Anissa Nielsen and her sister Anika, who is in Grade 6, read the poem In Flanders Fields. After the ceremonies ended, people gathered at the Legion for a light luncheon.

Hastings — It was a solemn morning of remembrance in Hastings Nov. 11 as hundreds gathered around the Hastings Cenotaph to honour those who have served and fallen for Canada. In biting cold weather, a large contingent from 8 Wing Canadian Forces Base Trenton joined Hastings Legion Branch 106 members in the march and participated in the wreath-laying ceremony with Lieutenant (N) Rev. Mary Anne

Sixty wreaths were placed at the cenotaph along with commemorative candles, two for soldiers who died in the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War and in Afghanistan and 13 honouring members of Branch 106 and their families.
14 Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, November 16, 2017
Tweed — Hundreds of men, women and children gathered at the cenotaph in Tweed on Nov. 11 at the 11th hour, to remember those who have fought for the freedom of others. Troops from Trenton and Petawawa, veterans and Tweed cadets marched from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 428 starting at 10:30 a.m. down to the cenotaph at the Tweed Memorial Park along the water on Saturday. While the air was crisp, the sun was shining and a group of Canadian geese flew overhead as everyone bowed their heads once again in sombre remembrance. Legion Padre Wendell White led the service and retired chief warrant officer Don Bittle spoke during the ceremonies, recognizing service personnel from Tweed who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars. OPP representatives and a host of other officials solemnly commemorated the sacrifices of
Canadian Armed Forces members from Tweed. Father Aidan Dasaah of St. Carthagh's and St. Edmund's Catholic churches also offered a prayer that gave gratitude for the men and woman who sacrificed their lives, as well as prayer for future leadership and reconciliation at the Remembrance Day Service. Wreaths covered in the bright red of poppies were laid at the front of the cenotaph on behalf of the Ontario Provincial Police, the province of Ontario, the municipality of Tweed, Branch 428 Royal Canadian Legion and many others. “It’s important to honour those that have fallen. That’s the reason we can stand here today,” said Gary Young, member of the Tweed Legion. Following the Remembrance Day ceremonies, community members were invited for refreshments and lunch at the legion. Some troops also went to Moira Place, a long-term care facility to help celebrate Remembrance Day with those who weren’t able to attend the ceremony at the cenotaph.

Those who died for peace, freedom and justice honoured at service BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Westwood – The sound of silence was also the sound of remembrance in Westwood on Nov. 11. The only sounds to be heard beyond the prayer and roll call of the dead were the piper’s lament and a bugle call to Last Post, the clarion reminder of the sacrifice Canadians have made and continue to make in service to their country.
Campbellford — A bright sun and a large crowd turned out on a cold day for the Remembrance Day service held at the cenotaph on Queen Street last Saturday. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 103 padre Rev. Bryce Sangster said prayers, offered a meditation, and gave the blessing, saying “those who we remember today died for peace, freedom and justice.” Also remembered in prayer were the many disabled and wounded who have carried through the years “a burden of suffering,” and “the sorrowful and bereaved” whose “grievous memories of loved ones fallen on the field of honour” return on this day. Legion president Reg Gordon read out the names of those laying the scores of wreaths and he expressed appreciation to those who attended, inviting them to visit the legion afterwards for refreshments.
The Westwood ceremony around the beautifully simple 96-year-old stone shaft cenotaph was a poignant rural gathering, an echo certainly of the thousands of ceremonies that took place in simi- Veteran John Jackson was among larly small communities following the Great War. scores of people who laid a wreath Generations change – what doesn’t change is the at the Cenotaph.

Vimy Oak planted near Cenotaph a gift from horticultural society BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford — A Vimy oak now grows on the same plot of land where the Cenotaph is located. It's a gift to Royal Canadian Legion Branch 103 from Trent Hills and District Horticultural Society. It purchased the sapling from a nursery in Dundas which grew it and others from acorns that are the descendants of ones found on Vimy Ridge that were sent home to Canada by Lt. Leslie Miller. The Vimy Oaks, as they are known, were grown to mark the 100th anniversary of the famous battle won by Canadian soldiers and in remembrance of all those from this country who fought in the First World War. The horticultural society paid slightly more than $200 to purchase the tree and have it shipped, and BMR donated the certificate of authenticity sign explaining its significance. “We're hoping everyone will keep an eye on this tree,” said Joan Martin, president of the society, which has also distributed storybook kits about the Vimy Ridge oaks to all six elementary schools in Trent Hills. The legion “was thrilled” when asked by the society to partner in the planting of the tree, legion president Reg Gordon said. “It's a wonderful idea.”

Campbellford hospital plans for surge in need for beds during flu season BY SUE DICKENS
Campbellford — The need for beds at Campbellford Memorial Hospital at this time of year is the focus of planning by medical staff, especially since flu season is on its way and a surge of patients is expected. “In September and October, patient volumes have been extremely high and over the past several weeks they’ve been over 100 per cent,” said CEO Varouj Eskedjian at the recent regular monthly board meeting. “The difficulty with that as we prepare for the influenza season, including getting our staff vaccinated, is what we anticipate is a potentially greater volume of patients particularly coming into the emergency department and possibly being admitted,” he added. Chief of Staff Dr. Neil Pritchard and the hospital’s clinical services manager Kerry Shudall “are trying to clear beds in terms of safely discharging people out into the community because we often have several, half a dozen last week actually, admitted patients in the emergency department.” Those patients need to be moved upstairs, Eskedjian explained, “so we can see other pa-

tients ... and if not, they can’t get upstairs it just sort of backs up the emergency department.” Looking at the situation on the provincial level, Eskedjian noted the ministry of health and longterm care plans to open up 2,000 empty beds across the province and put a call out to every hospital to assess if they have the capacity. He said that Campbellford hospital could open up 12 beds but only if the ministry funds buying the beds and provides the funding for the time the beds are open. “The ministry was really looking for those who had beds readily available,” he commented. The Central East LHIN has allocated up to 60 beds, eight in Northumberland County, that will be open for five months with $500-a-day funding support “to make it affordable for hospitals,” he said. “The Ontario Hospital Association is advocating the increased capacity on an ongoing basis as opposed to just on a surge basis ... It will be interesting to see if the ministry ultimately provides funding to allow hospitals to open up more beds and increase bed capacity,” he concluded.
Havelock — Santa and his reindeer are gearing up for their annual pre-Christmas trek to Havelock. The Havelock Lions Club Santa Claus parade takes to the streets Nov. 18 and will fill the night with all the colour and excitement of the season. The parade leaves the Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Community Centre at 7 p.m. and wends its way down George Street to Union Street then back along King Street. If you would like to participate in the parade marshalling of
floats, marchers and bands begins at 6:15 p.m. at the community centre. Santa will return to the township on Nov. 25 when he leads the 40th annual Cordova Mines Santa Claus Parade which starts at 11 a.m. Parade organizers are looking for floats and walkers to take part in the festive tradition. Children are also encouraged to bring their letters for Santa and leave them at the fire station during Santa’s post-parade visit with local families. To enter a float in the Cordova parade, call Shirley at 705-7782893.

Two new trucks for Township of Madoc BY TAYLOR BERTELINK
Madoc Township — The Township of Madoc welcomed two new shiny red vehicles — a 2017 Pierce Freightliner 2500 gallon tanker for the fire department and a 2018 Western Star Tandem plow truck for the roads department. The plow truck arrived a few weeks ago in late October and the fire truck was delivered in early August. “The fire trucks are going to help us improve getting to house fires better and the dump truck is well needed to keep our roads gravelled and snow plow in the winter — there was a real need for these,” said Robert Sager, Reeve. The new plow truck cost $220,477 and the new tanker cost $351,882.69 — both capital purchases in the 2017 budget. The last time a new plow truck was purchased was in 2007 and roads supervisor Bill Rogers said he is very happy to have the new equipment. “A lot of our trucks are getting older and are tired — it was time to upgrade,” said Rogers. The new plow truck uses modern technology and is their first automatic truck. “This isn't a standard truck, there are no gears to shift. There’s enough work in a plow truck with controls and watching

what is going on, let alone shifting gears,” said Rogers. “It will make their jobs easier — hopefully this new technology is reliable,” he added. Jason Gear, fire chief also is thrilled with the purchase of the new tanker. “It’s good to have lot’s of water on hand when you are responding — this has all the new bells and whistles and several new safety features — upgrading the equipment is making our lives and jobs a little easier and also safer,” he said.
Members of council, the Roads Department, and Fire Department gathered for a photo in front of the two new trucks. Taylor Bertelink/Metroland

Using a palette knife, artist Nancy Sherk of Stirling was working on a small landscape during a recent art show in Stirling. Terry McNamee/Metroland
BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling — Since she was a teenager, Nancy Sherk of Stirling has loved to paint. When a teacher named Allan Cameron suggested she buy a book on painting technique, she did. “That got me started,” Sherk recalled. "When I went to teachers' college, I won the art scholarship, and that meant I went to Toronto for an art course that summer.” After starting her career as a teacher, she began an art program at the Ontario School for the Deaf (now the Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf) in Belleville. During those years, she spent more time teaching art than creating it. But once she retired, she returned to her first love. “It was mostly after I retired that I got into it intensely,” she said. “I work in oils and acrylic. I have done a little bit of collage. I've experimented with different media.” Sherk is a member of the Group of Eleven in Stirling and is an executive on the board of the Belleville Art Association. She has studied at the Haliburton School of Art and has taken workshops and
classes in Buckhorn and locally, as well as teaching a few workshops herself. Back in 2000, she co-founded the Stirling Art Festival, which lasted several years. “It was a fantastic festival,” Sherk said. “We would have musicians, and poets reading their poetry, and about 40 artists.” She has exhibited with the Group of Eleven and has had her painting chosen for inclusion in the Belleville Art Association's juried show numerous times. “I had two paintings accepted for the juried show this year,” she said. Sherk prefers doing landscapes and florals, and her preferred method is to paint with palette knives because of the texture and flow they give a painting. “Nature has really been my main inspiration,” she said. “I paint in the Impressionistic style.” Sherk said the Group of Seven artists inspire her, with Tom Thomson being her favourite artist. Locally, her mentor is artist Joan Reive of Belleville. Sherk's paintings are available for sale. She can be reached through the art association at info@bellevilleart.ca

Trent Hills — A pilot program which will serve as a test run for the new Trent Hills Creative Matrix is underway thanks to a seed grant from the province’s Trillium Foundation. Two women, Teresa Castonguay and Trish York, have teamed up with the Municipality of Trent Hills to find new ways to share resources among the arts, culture and heritage communities in Trent Hills. On Nov. 18, from 1 to 4 p.m., they will host a facilitated discussion in the form of a town-hall style meeting, to foster community collaboration to “build a creative community.” “The women will be working to find out what the best framework is for this," Trent Hills community development officer Kira Mees told the Trent Hills News. The grant of $50,000 is for the one-year commitment for the pilot program. “They have talked to a few people one-on-one as well as bringing people together by sectors to get down to the details,” she added.
They held a focus group prior to submitting the grant application which they have received. The focus group members had suggestions like volunteer management skills, recruitment succession planning for boards of directors, assistance for grant writing and applications having access to funds,” explained Mees. The women have started meeting with area stakeholders such as organizers of festivals, artists, heritage organizations, to present their findings to them and collect input. “It is important that they hear what will work best for everyone in this sector. For profit and charitable groups, special event organizers, creative individuals with ideas: everyone has important input. They would like to hear from all active participants,” Mees explained. “Teresa and Trish have a lot of experience in all the different aspects of community organizing and community development.” “The municipality looks forward to seeing the results of this project and possible next steps," Mees said.

Municipalities receive federal funding for asset management plans BY TAYLOR BERTELINK
Centre Hastings – The municipality of Centre Hastings received funding in the amount of $36,800 for asset management capacity building. The government has put forward $50 million through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) for asset management plans. More than 100 infrastructure initiatives across Canada have also received federal funding through a program run by the FCM. “On behalf of the citizens of Centre Hastings I am pleased to receive these funds,” said mayor Tom Deline. “We have over $2.5 million of tangible capital assets to manage. This money will allow us to put some better policies and procedures in place to maintain these assets as well as providing us with a better long-term capital plan,” he said. The money will go specifically toward staffing costs and consultants needed to put together a program, explained Deline. “It’s an ongoing process. Whatever we had in place three years ago is no longer current, the province requires more from us now. This is just another step in the process for some long-term planning,” said Christine Martin,
CAO/treasurer for the municipality of Centre Hastings. “This will update our management and put policies in place that are required by the province for funding,” she added. Mike Bossio, member of Parliament for Hastings-Lennox and Addington explained in a release that he lobbied hard to ensure that small rural communities were getting the support they need to complete their asset management plans. According to Martin, the municipality of Centre Hastings has been working on their asset management plan for well over three years. “Small rural communities often find it very difficult to compete with large communities for existing infrastructure funds — They often lack the necessary human resources relative to larger communities to successfully brand their need and complete complicated application processes, including asset management plans. Small communities also often lack the financial resources needed to hire outside grant writers, or even to pay for the necessary reports to include with their applications,” said Bossio. Among the several municipalities to receive funding, Hastings Highlands will also receive $20,000 for asset management plans, policy, and strategy.

Maggie, a rescued Shih Tzu, kept her tail wagging in support of this photo session with owner Santa Claus (Tara Hunt), hoping to inspire pet owners to attend one of Hunt’s “Pet Photos for Santa” fundraising events for the Campbellford Memorial Hospital. Photo submitted
Marmora’s pooch parlour has tails wagging for hospital fundraiser BY SUE DICKENS
Marmora/Campbellford – Bring Fido or Fluffy to the Christmas PAWS pet photo event with Santa and help raise money for the Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) Foundation. The popular pet photo shoot is returning Nov. 20 and 21 in Marmora and on Nov. 26 in Campbellford. “What’s more fun during the holiday season than hanging out with ‘Santa Claws’ and capturing the moment in a photo?” says Tara Hunt, owner of the Pooch Parlour Dog Grooming Services in Marmora. The Pooch Parlour is hosting its second annual pet photos with Santa fundraiser, with three dates and two locations for families to choose from, with all proceeds supporting patient care at CMH. “People love their dogs and pets and appreciate opportunities to enjoy those extra-special moments with them and they love Campbellford Memorial Hospital and want to keep great health care close to home,” Hunt added. “I organized this fundraiser because, not only do I love dogs, but I truly am grateful to be able to receive my health care at CMH. I know I was surprised to learn that the government
does not pay for most patient medical equipment, donors do, so I became a donor.” Hunt notes that last year $1,937 was raised through the Pet Photos with Santa fundraiser and she was able to honour the memory of Rosalee Burn by placing Rosalee’s name on the new In Memoriam Donor Wall installed at CMH this past year. “Rosalee was a nurse with the VON who cheerfully cared for hundreds of patients over the years. Rosalee had such a giving spirit and brought so much joy to my family, I wanted to do something to express my deep appreciation for her,” Hunt said, adding, “and it warms my heart to see her name on the new donor wall.” The dates for the pet photos with Santa are Monday, Nov. 20 and Tuesday, Nov. 21 from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the Pooch Parlour, 160 Marble Point Rd. in Marmora and on Sunday, Nov. 26 from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Rotary Youth Hall, 179 Saskatoon Ave. in Campbellford. For a minimum $10 donation, folks can choose between two four by six colour photos or one Christmas ornament with photo. Appointments are not necessary. For more information call Hunt at 613-472-0364.
More on the Christmas PAWS fundraiser: Dogs have to be on a leash and all other animals (cats, rabbits etc.) must be crated for safety purposes. Volunteers will be on hand for a smooth and quick photo session. Hunt is offering a big thank you to Potter’s Marmora Valu-Mart, Cook’s Barbershop and Jillian’s Antiques and Things, along with the Rotary Club of Campbellford, Fynn & Wylder Handmade Baby and Toddler Clothing (you can find them on Facebook) and Beautiful Images by Montserrat for their support.
Friends of Ferris hopes to attract more volunteers BY SUE DICKENS
Campellford – Building boardwalks, updating trails, adding new benches and purchasing an all-terrain vehicle are just some of the ongoing projects of Friends of Ferris Provincial Park, a group of dedicated volunteers. “Friends of Ferris is a great, great group of people,” said Sandy Chapman, one of the directors. “When we moved to Campbellford seven years ago I fell in love with the area and Ferris park is across the river from where I live,” she added. This couple has a “vested interest in Ferris Park,” so Chapman decided to join the nonprofit group of volunteers who work hard, year round, constantly bringing to Ferris special events and promotions. The couple took over the organization of the Friends of Ferris (FofF) annual kite day which is so popular with families. “We took it over from Fred and Carol Ellis, who had done it for years, and we do it with Ann Kidd,”
said Chapman. During the visit this summer by the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre (formerly Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre) of Peterborough, she participated by standing at the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge, to let park-goers know about the event. From kite day in May to the dry stone wall restoration workshop in August to guided walking tours, the FofF hosts many events. But to do all of this, they need more folks to join their organization. “We need to beef up the number of volunteers,” noted Chapman. Their next meeting will be held on Thursday, Nov. 9 at 6 p.m. in the Vimy room at the Campbellford Legion. Anyone interested should check out the FofF website at: www.friendsofferris.ca/friends.html. For more information, call 705-632-0894. “Please join us by sharing your time, talents and Friends of Ferris are hoping to attract new volunteers: from left, directors expertise, while making new friends, getting some Theresa Miller, Sandy Chapman, Barb Hogan (president), Marcia Perryman, fresh air and having some good, down to earth fun.” Brenda Morrison, Bob Hogan, Carol Robertson.

3.86 per cent tax rate hike proposed in draft budget Expected assessment boost could lower tax increase BY BILL FREEMAN
Havelock – The Havelock-Belmont-Methuen draft budget proposes a 3.86-per-cent tax increase, but an expected boost in assessment could lower that figure to the two-per-cent range. Councillors discussed the draft 2018 budget which calls for a tax levy requirement of $5,810,608, — $215,811 more than in 2017 — with expenditures pegged at $10,651,590. The proposed budget shows a drop in total revenues of $768,099. Treasurer Wendelin McConnell expects the 3.86-per-cent figure to drop to around two per cent once she receives final assessment figures from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation in December, but the 3.86 per cent still represents the “monetary value” of the increase in required taxation. The public will get a chance to weigh in on the draft budget in future meetings. Council spent a fair bit of time talking about the revenue side of things and need to take “a hard look” at fee structures in the plan-
ning department and to go over the “royalties” it receives from resource aggregates taken from local pits and quarries. “There are some fees we need to take a look at,” said Mayor Ron Gerow. “I’d like to look at what those revenues might be like if we would charge a fee comparable to (those charged) by municipalities our size.” The municipality doesn’t have a planning staff and uses a consultant, which Gerow admits is “an expensive way of doing business. “But it has kept us up-to-date and out of trouble,” he said. Still, Gerow says, it’s something council needs to “deal with going forward” and has a “number of options” available including hiring their own planner or working with Peterborough County which several municipalities already do. “It’s incumbent before we pass the budget that that discussion happens.” HBM spends around $20,000 a month on planning/consultants, says McConnell, and faces a “quite large” deficit in that department.
“We rely a lot on a planner and consultant almost on a daily basis for service,” Gerow admits. “There are some fundamental decisions council will have to make going forward.” McConnell is halfway through a review of fees charged by other Peterborough County municipalities. “There are a lot of fees not being picked up by some people,” she said. “It shouldn’t be the tax base as a whole picking up those costs; it should be the person applying for the planning change.” Charging comparable fees and being rigorous about collecting them could yield a “substantial number,” Gerow added. “We need to be a little bit more aggressive on that front. If there are things that need to be user pay we need to discuss that.” HBM gets about $60,000 a year from aggregate resources which goes into its “connecting link” road reserve. Gerow believes that number should be higher. “It’s not anywhere where we’d like to see it.”

Trip of the Month, walk around the canal — there is a connection BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford – The Rotary Club of Campbellford plans to extend its trail alongside the Trent Canal another 200 metres, from Picnic Island Park to the water filtration plant. “We're building it from scratch,” says Rob Pope, a member of the Rotary executive. “Eventually, we will go to the park by the bridge.” When that last 150-metre stretch is done, the five-kilometre trail will be completed. Members of Youth Advisory Council (YAC) and the local army cadet corps recently helped Rotarians remove brush in the unopened area to clear the way for excavation to be done and a layer of gravel a few inches deep to be laid down. A contractor will be hired to do the work, which is expected to cost between $6,000 and $10,000. That will be topped by a second layer of really fine gravel, as was done elsewhere on the path, for an additional cost. The trail “is a landmark,” Rotary president Cathy Beamish said. It's been around so long, however, that it's “taken for granted” and many people don't realize ”we were responsible for it to begin with” and continue to maintain it. The municipality does plow it in the wintertime. “There's always people walking on it; it doesn't matter what time of day, from four in the morning to late at night,” Beamish said. Rotary also spearheaded the construction of the suspension bridge, which draws
tourists to Campbellford, “and a lot of people don't realize that either.” Those two major achievements were made possible because of fundraisers the club holds annually to support local groups and individuals. The Trip of the Month Draw is its biggest source of revenue. Tickets are $150 but every month there are seven winners, with prizes ranging from $100 to $2,000. All the money raised goes back into the community, which with other fundraisers, including pancake breakfasts and golf tournament, add up to between $40,000 and $50,000 a year. Beneficiaries include Campbellford Memorial Hospital, Girl Guides, Royal Canadian Legion, Kent Public School breakfast program, the Youth Advisory Council, high school bursaries, youth exchange program and many local community organizations. The 500 Trip of the Month tickets for 2018 are now on sale, and can be purchased from any Rotary member or by calling Wallace Brown at 705-653-2041. They're also available at Browns' law office, Beamish's Carpet and Sharpe's Food Office. Payment can be made in installments. Purchasers can win more than once, as their number goes back into the draw after each winning number is called. The first draw will take place on Jan. 25. The top prize used to be a trip but the format was changed several years ago to Rotary Club of Campbellford president Cathy Beamish and fellow executive member Rob Pope give winners prize money instead. The lottery name was kept to maintain the draw's say the Trip of the Month Draw and other fundraisers support projects such as extension of the Rotary Trail.

Conservation initiative hasn’t stalled: council BY BILL FREEMAN
Havelock – Public use development of the Mathison conservation area north of Havelock hasn’t been forgotten, Havelock-Belmont-Methuen council says. “There are still things happening in there,” says DeputyMayor Jim Martin, chair of the Mathison ad hoc committee which is developing a master plan for the property which contains a variety of nature trails, lookouts and other ecologically interesting landmarks within its 250 acres. The property was bequeathed to the municipality in 2011 by John and Annie Mathison for conservation, recreation and public education and has been comprehensively studied by Fleming College Ecosystem Management students.

Asphodel-Norwood council held a meeting at Norwood District High School as part of local government week.Bill Freeman/Metroland
Asphodel-Norwood council takes meeting to high school BY BILL FREEMAN
Norwood – Asphodel-Norwood council and staff went back to school recently. In an effort to “engage youth” municipal council decided to hold a regular meeting at Norwood District High School during local government week. It was the second straight year the township has brought its meeting to NDHS to give students a first-hand look at how councillors discuss issues and also to highlight some of the career opportunities that exist in the municipal sector. Promoting the high school is underscored as one of the municipality’s highest strategic planning priorities. “If we’ve accomplished anything today it’s for you to consider a municipal career, definitely take a look at it,” CAO-clerk-treasurer Candice White told grade 11-12 students. White noted that there is going to be a huge push to fill positions in numerous municipal sector fields over the next five to 10 years as large scale retirements kick in. She also encouraged students to get involved in the municipality as they get older through volunteering with organizations and with the townships own boards and committees. “Voting is huge,” she stressed. “There are a number of ways you can get involved.” “The opportunities are there for them,” said Mayor Terry Low after-
wards. Low felt the students were very “receptive.” “They were really paying attention. They might say ‘maybe I don’t want to move away to a larger city; maybe I can build a career at home.’ The opportunities are here for them.” Low echoed White’s words about municipal sector vacancies something he sees already at the county level. He hoped the meeting gave them a “little spark.” “It’s great to be able to show them all the opportunities in municipal careers,” added councillor Bernadette Vanderhorst. Vanderhorst says White encourages students to come and talk to her and “get the connected to what career they might want to follow.” The meeting also put faces to some of the names students might have known, she added. Volunteering on committees is “a great way to give back” to the municipality, deputy-mayor Rodger Bonneau added. “It was really interesting, especially because a lot of kids don’t consider a municipal career. They were trying to give us an understanding of what there is to do,” said grade 11 student Abby Partington. Last year she talked to councillors afterwards to “kind of get a feel of what they were doing. It was super interesting.”

A good season so far for local OHLers BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Sure, Quinte isn’t an Ontario Hockey League region anymore, but that’s no reason for fans here to not pay attention to the province’s top junior league. There’s still a few homegrown players making a name for themselves in the ‘O’. Belleville native and Quinte Red Devils product Anthony Popovich has emerged as the No. 1 goaltender for the Guelph Storm this season. As of Nov. 10, he had a 8-6 record on the year and a more-than-respectable 2.72 goals against average and 0.920 save percentage. He earned his first OHL shutout on Oct. 29 when he stopped 37 shots in a victory over the London Knights. Las season, Popovich played in 30 games with Guelph, and posted a 4.61 GAA and .876 save percentage. Another Belleville native is blossoming in Mississauga. As of Nov. 10 Shaw Boomhower had seven goals and three assists in 13 games for the Steelheads. The 19-year-old centreman is on pace to eclipse last year’s totals, when he scored seven
goals and 10 assists in 60 games. Meanwhile, two Campbellford kids continue to contribute to the Kingston Frontenacs. Left-winger Nathan Dunkley had three goals and eight assists in 12 games for the Frontenacs, heading into last weekend. This, after he posted 31 points in his OHL rookie season last year, filling the promise of a first-round draft pick. Fellow Campbellford native Jakob Brahaney, a defenceman, is in his third season in Kingston. He had one goal and five assists after 16 games.
Coyotes snap winless skid Meanwhile, it’s been a tough season for Belleville-born National Hockey League players so far. But the good news is at least the Arizona Coyotes have won a game now. Brad Richardson and Nick Cousins have the dubious distinction on being on the NHL team with the longest losing streak to start a season – 11 games. But the streak ended on Oct. 30 when the Coyotes beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 in overtime (despite losing a two-goal lead in the last minute of regulation). Cousins, as of Nov. 10, had a goal and three assists in 15 games. Richardson had three assists in 16 games.

Belleville – The patriarch of Belleville’s most famous hockey family and a hockey legend in his own right has died. Floyd Crawford died early Saturday morning while surrounded by family members, at age 88. Crawford moved to Belleville in 1957 to play for the Belleville McFarlands Senior A hockey team. He will forever be remembered for leading the McFarlands to an Allen Cup championship in 1958 and a World Championship title in 1959. His photo, along with his teammates, hangs outside Belleville’s now dormant Memorial Arena downtown. He and his wife Pauline Crawford would go on to raise nine children in Belleville. Three of their sons, Bobby, Marc and Lou, went on to play in the National Hockey League. The other six kids, Susan, Danielle, Eric, Todd, Peter and Michael, also all grew to be successful adults. The Crawford family name can be found on almost every recognizable hockey trophy; the Memorial Cup, the Calder Cup and the Stanley Cup, as Marc Crawford won the famous trophy
as coach of the Colorado Avalanche in 1996. The family became great ambassadors for the City of Belleville. Marc, now an assistant coach with the Ottawa Senators, agreed to take on the role, in part because he could help with the evolution of the new Belleville Senators franchise. “My dad and mom have always said that Belleville is a great place to raise kids and it really is,” Marc is quoted as saying in a story on the Crawford family in the recent edition of Belleville magazine. Floyd also acted as coach, assistant coach, scout, director of player personnel and mentor to countless young hockey players since his playing career finished in the 1960s. He coached the Trenton Bobcats to an Ontario junior B title and also guided Team Ontario to a gold medal at the Canada Games in 1984. He was enshrined into the Belleville Sports Hall of Fame in 1992. Visitations were held on Monday and Tuesday at the Steele Funeral Home. A funeral mass took place Wednesday November 15 at St. Michael The Archangel Church on Church Street in Belleville. Cremation followed the service.

Trenton Golden Hawks pull through with overtime win over Aurora BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks managed to come out on top with an overtime victory against the Aurora Tigers in Trenton on Friday, Nov. 10. After a Remembrance Day opening ceremony, the Hawks started out slow in the first period, managing only five shots to Aurora’s 14. Aurora’s Zach Wilkie scored the first goal of the game at 12:22. Trenton bounced back in the second, closing the shots-on-net gap and tying up the game with a goal by Max Ewart, assisted by Caleb Boman and Steven Elliott. The final five minutes of the third period were
tense as Elijah Gonsalves scored at 15:43, giving Aurora a 2-1 lead. Trenton’s Tiger McDonald helped the Hawks bounce back with a power-play goal at 17:02, assisted by captain Mac Lewis and assistant captain Michael Silveri, forcing overtime. Shaun Bily scored the Hawks’ OT game winner 4:33 into the overtime period, assisted by Lewis and Boman. Trenton improved to 11-12-1-0 and have a weeklong break until they head to Pickering on Friday, Nov. 17. The Hawks’ next home game will be Wednesday, Nov. 22, against St. Michael's and then Friday, Nov. 24, against Wellington.

Campbellford Rebels add two more losses to losing streak in Junior C hockey play BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford – The losses continue to mount for the Campbellford Rebels and now stand at 18 in 18 games. After being blanked the first three times they met the Picton Pirates, by scores of 13-0, 8-0 and 12-0, the Rebels broke through with a goal in a 13-1 loss Nov. 4 and they doubled their output in a 10-2 defeat in Picton Nov. 9. Remarkably, the team didn't allow a powerplay goal despite giving the home side nine opportunities. But Picton didn't require any help for its victory, outshooting Campbellford 81-24, which made for a long night in net for Nathan Walford. Will Arsenault and Matt Moran scored for Campbellford. The Rebels hosted Gananoque Saturday night and the outcome wasn't decided until after the midway point in the third period.
Trailing 3-2 entering the frame, Mike Chambers tied the game with his second marker of the match just 18 seconds after the faceoff at centre. The visitors pulled ahead with two goals in 43 seconds but Benny Scarr-Cromas cut the margin to one 16 seconds after the Islanders' second goal of the period. But an unassisted goal 39 seconds later, at 3:29, restored Gananoque's two-goal lead. Arsenault made it close once again but the visitors pulled away with two unanswered goals to go up for good 8-5. Campbellford now trails the fifth-place Islanders by eight points. Napanee leads the East Tod Division in the Provincial Junior Hockey League with 16 wins in 17 matches, giving it 32 points. Picton is in third with 21 points. Campbellford's next home game is this Saturday against the Port Hope Panthers, who are in second place with 22 points. The game starts at 7:30 p.m.

Jr Saints lose a thriller at Paddon field, Chargers 0-2 at COSSA Belleville - The final game every to be played on Paul Paddon Field at Quinte Secondary School turned out to be a barn-burner. The Saints played host there to the COSSA AAA junior football final Wednesday afternoon at Paddon Field and gave fans everything they could have hoped for in falling 29-22 to Peterborough Thomas A Stewart in double overtime. The Saints looked out of it, down 21-0 in the second quarter and 21-7 at halftime before they battled back to force a double Texas shootout style overtimeat 22-22 at the end of regulation. Quinte’s Matthew Berry ran in a two-point conversion from one yard out that tied the game in the dying seconds of the fourth quarter and sent the contest into O.T. Saints Jakob Akey racked up three touchdowns for the Saints and picked off a pass on defence. Berry, along with his crucial twopoint conversion, kicked two PATs. For TAS, powerhouse running back Max Levaseur had a trio of TDs plus a punt single. Robin French caught the game-winning touchdown from Griffins quarterback Daniel Milburn, plus booted four PATs. On defence, Noah Thompson had two INTs. In senior COSSA play Thursday, it was Centennial Chargers’ turn to lose at the hands of a Peterborough squad, after a 17-5 loss to the Peterborough Crestwood Mustangs in the COSSA AAA final at MAS Park. Crestwood conceded a two-point rouge to Chargers and the only scoring for the previously unbeaten CSS squad was in the form of a 35-yard field goal by Chargers kicker Connor Cruickshank.

tool that has come along to help us find our ancestors and find our cousins.” “It’s a new tool in your tool kit to help find your ancestors.” Information from DNA tests allows genealogists to “confirm family relationships. “Things you weren’t sure of, relatives you weren’t sure were connected to you — you can confirm these things by doing your DNA. I’ve met three or four new people in the last year that are related to me and I’m now figuring out how they’re related. We’re trying to work together to figure that out.” Having DNA-related data helps people look into their “deep ancestry.” Using DNA data, people can “sleuth their way through” and make “surmises” about missing links in family trees. Dawes says there are millions of documents on microfilm and in books, and repositories of vital records and researchers attempt to “put their families together by “moving their way through” those documents and repositories. “We don’t know where our cousins are when we start — we hopefully find them when we go through it,” Dawes said. “(But) DNA is the opposite way. We find out we have thousands of cousins but we don’t know how they relate to us. It’s very difficult to try and work it out but at least you know they’re related to you. We have something to work from to find that common ancestry.”

rofessional hockey was announced in the Bay of Quinte region with a flurry of seven home games in fifteen days to start November. Fans were treated to all that makes the AHL the best league in the world outside of the NHL, with numerous examples of how closely the two leagues are tied together: multiple players were called up from the Belleville Senators to the Ottawa Senators and returned after scoring their first points in the NHL; the team was reshaped with players directly involved in the Ottawa Senators blockbuster trade for
Matt Duchene; the Yardmen Arena played host to Bobby Ryan and his 223 NHL goals as he practiced with the team while rehabbing a broken finger. Even still, the team continues to grow in the community and at the Yardmen Arena. On November 10th and 11th, more than 300 members of the Canadian Armed Forces and their families attended and were honoured for their service. At the same time, the Belleville Senators launched their 50/50 draw with the Ottawa Senators Foundation, raising more than $9,000 during these two games
to be redirected within the local community. These two instances mark the start of what is meant to be a long and concerted effort to support the Bay of Quinte community and its residents. “We could not be more pleased with the support that we have received from our fans and partners in the region,” said Rob Mullowney, Chief Operating
Officer of the team. “We look forward to making good on our intentions to reciprocate this support and continue giving back to the region several times over.” At the same time, fans now have several new ways to attend and enjoy games. The team recently announced the launch of season ticket options in the Mezzanine and Fan Zone balconies at the south end of the arena. With each location poised atop of an infinite edge almost directly above the boards, fans can own a table with four chairs and receive in-seat service as they take in
the game from breathtaking sightlines. The team will also be hosting a “Pick your Seat” event at the Yardmen Arena on Saturday, November 18th, where fans can tour the arena between 10:30AM and 12:30PM and learn more about different ticketing options and group outings. Fans will also have the opportunity to reserve a seat for the remaining 23 home games of the season, starting in the New Year. For more information about any of these options, visit www.BellevilleSens.com or contact the team by telephone at 613-967-8067.

WINTER TIRE CHANGEOVER
Faithful fostering earns accolades for the Parsons BY JACK EVANS
Foster parenting is not for the faint of heart, longtime foster parents Ernie and Linda Parsons agree. The Parsons attended an annual banquet recently to mark November as Foster Parents Month, as they usually do, but were “totally surprised” to receive a special recognition award for their devotion to fostering. Ernie, a well-known Quinte area resident, former MPP and a board member of the Children’s Aid Society for many years, commented: “I looked around that room and thought of so many foster parents I knew who deserved the award more than us. I know some who took on some really challenging cases – ones that I would not have wanted.” In an interview last week at their Stirling area home, Ernie and his wife, Linda, summed up their experiences as “challenging, but rewarding.” The award was in the shape of a narrow signboard, handcrafted with the wording: “Our family is a circle of strength and love,” and both are proud to display it in their rural kitchen. Ernie recalled how he felt so rewarded at becoming a foster parent that he volunteered to serve on the children’s aid agency’s board to help pay it back. He remained on it in various roles, including chair, for 25 years, resigning because of potential conflict of interest after he was elected as MPP and assigned duties to look after that portfolio in the Liberal government of the time. The two have been so active as foster parents over the years that they can’t accurately report the number of children they have been involved with. “It would be somewhere around 40,” said Parsons. “Some of them were only with us for a short time.”

The two recounted stories of children who, once they had earned their confidence, often turned abysmal school records around, thanks to safe shelter, adequate meals and a warm bed. They talked about how it was a complete family effort with their own children assisting in welcoming and helping the
foster children and the sacrifices their own children made, losing desired quality time to the visitors who needed their parents’ attention even more. They reviewed the disturbing fact of being construed as the “enemy” by birth parents and the agony of dealing with innocent
stand-by grandparents. “We were not supposed to talk to any of the family,” said Ernie, “but if we bumped into them at the mall or on the street, we would chat. Most of the parents also overcame their animosity and became friends later.” He had high praise for new trends in foster care, including, many years ago a change in policy from “what’s best for the family” to “what’s best for the child.” “I can’t think of any case of a child taken into CAS care that was not best for the child,” said Ernie. And he had high praise for the new policies which he called “kin care,” – trying to find a suitable family relative as the first choice for placement. The results are showing a great improvement, he added. He also recalled the formation of the original Hastings CAS Foundation. “I was on the board at the time and opposed the idea, but I was wrong. That has been a tremendously successful operation on behalf of the children, with improved care and education opportunities.” He cautioned adults getting involved as foster parents in hopes of making money. “You probably won’t lose any, but I can’t see actually making money.” Both he and Linda also praised the training program the CAS offers to prospective new foster parents and urged people to attend all classes. As Christmas approaches, Parsons said Christmases for foster children is a particularly difficult time. He also noted that it usually takes up to several months to build trust with the children. The bottom line is, “There is always a need for good foster parents,” he said.

Plan for tree growth, save those trees
BY CARSON ARTHUR For the last few years, I’ve been getting more homeowners questioning the large trees in their yards. After ice storms, hurricane force winds, and now record snowfalls, the trees on our prop-
erties have taken quite a beating. Before you decide to get rid of your trees in favour of less yard word, there are a few things you might want to consider. According to the Appraisal Institute of Canada, and Tree Canada, trees are not just important for the environment; they have real value when it comes to your actual home. Trees on your property can be worth more then $19000 and save you more than $175 dollar on your energy bills. • All of the current research shows that homebuyers prefer houses on streets that have trees. In fact, properties with healthy mature trees show an increased value of between 3 and 5% over homes that have none. This means that on the average Canadian home, those trees are worth between $10500 and $19000 • Trees are nature’s outdoor climate control but they also impact the inside of your home. A well-placed tree that
shades your home in the hot summer months can save you up to $55 each year, and an additional $120 in winter heating costs. When it comes to the winter months, most homeowners would rather be inside under a blanket beside a fireplace. Unfortunately, there are a lot of outdoor jobs that get pushed off into spring that really should get done right now. Once the leaves have fallen off your shrubs and bushes, its time to prune and reshape. Before you go crazy however, scratch the surface of the plants to make sure that there is no green under the bark. If it’s all dried out, then that branch can be removed without causing the plant any serious damage. This is also the perfect time to bring in your arbourist to tackle any of the big limbs and dead wood, which may snap off during the winter and cause damage to your home and property If you are now looking forward to 2018 and might be considering adding a new tree, there are a few
Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates
things simple rules to picking the right one. The type of tree makes a big difference when it comes to valuation. Trees that don’t do well in an urban setting can negatively impact the homes around them. Species like willow, poplar, balsam fir and Manitoba maple all have less than desirable qualities, making them better for rural locations. The best deciduous trees for home valuation continue to be the ones with great fall colour like Autumn Blaze Maple or the slower growing varieties like Oaks because they provide more shade and stay healthier longer. After doing a series of videos and instructional pieces for Ontree.ca, I learned that the location of your trees is also important. If you are planting new trees this spring around your home, use these simple tips as a good general guideline for placement. • Evergreens and conifers should be placed on the north side of your property. That way they help to block
the cold winds in the wintertime. To maximize their effectiveness, don’t plant your evergreens in a straight line. Instead, stagger then in a zigzag pattern • Plant your shade trees on the south side of the property to create the most protection from the summer sun. Make sure you follow the individual planting guidelines for each type of tree that you plant. Don’t assume that all trees grow the same, even if they come from the same family. Instead of removing those valuable assets, proper care makes a lot more sense. You wouldn’t throw out your car before a mechanic took a look at it. The same goes for a tree in your yard. Have an arbourist come in to remove those dead branches and missing bark to ensure that your tree not only stays healthy, it continues to make you money for your home investment.

BY JACK EVANS
The Quinte area continues to make waves in the Eastern Ontario Drama League with s major win at the annual one-act festival in recent days. With nine theatre companies across the region taking part, a comedy by Belleville up and coming playwright Peter Paylor, won the People’s Choice award for “Tea With Roger,” and also the Special Adjudicator’s Outstanding Performance Award. The latter was designated for two Belleville women who featured in the two local entries, Kathryn Dalmer and Judy Preece, plus the Old Church Theatre and the play’s producer, Nancy Garrod and director Scott Roodevoets and the Bellevillle Theatre Guild. The People’s Choirce Award is sponsored by the Brighton
Barn Theatre, so is a replica of the famous Presqu’ile lighthouse. This was one of two plays by Paylor performed at the Bonisteel Old Church Theatre a few weeks ago and won rave reviews at that time. Two senior women meet over tea to discuss the fate of one their husbands who thumps his way through the play while bound and gagged in a nearby closet. The second play, “The Green Thumb Gang,” also starred Dallmer and Preece as two inept house burglars and was entered by the Belleville Theatre Guild. Meanwhile, Paylor’s first play, “Rosewood: Tales from the Tavern” which has also drawn popular support throughout the region, is being re-staged over the next few weeks.

Take a luxury river cruise on Portugal’s ‘River of Gold’ our route, and we learned that about half of the world’s supply of cork is produced right here in Portugal. The cork industry is generally regarded as ‘environmentally friendly’ for the tree is not cut down to obtain cork. Instead, it’s simply de-barked, so the tree continues to live – and the bark re-grows. Once a cork tree is about 25 years old, the cork tree is stripped of its bark for the first time, but that first cutting is usually not of a very good quality. It improves with age, so the next bark stripping, 9 years later, is usually much better in quality; then the debarking continues, every 9 years, for the rest of the life of the tree. Before this cruise, if I thought of cork, I’d immediately think of a wine bottle. After all, the cork’s elasticity and near-impermeability makes it wonderful as a bottle stopper. However, as a result of this trip, I saw that cork was used in a great number of other products, too, including wallets, purses, belts, jewellery, hats, and badminton shuttlecocks. It’s also used for automotive gaskets, trivets, bulletin boards, insulation, fishing floats and buoys, and as floor and wall tiles. It’s quite the product – and it’s considered nonallergenic and a natural fire retardant. Not only did we see a lot of cork trees and products, but olive trees were also very plentiful. This fruit is picked and fermented, and the curing process can take quite some time (even several months).

My wife and I recently took a wonderful river cruise on Portugal’s Douro River. “Douro” roughly translates from Portuguese as “River of Gold”, and as the sun sets over it in the evening, you may better grasp why the river has been so named, for the water gleams a golden colour. The Douro River trip, between Porto and Barca d’Alva, is primarily along Portugal’s terraced vineyards, through its renowned wine region, so we passed many quintas (wine estates) that cling to the nearby slopes and, of course, we had an ‘up close and personal look’ - and tasting - at several of these on our daily excursions from the Viking Torgil, our cruise ship. Since we were in and near Porto, port wine was the specialty. However, this marvelous voyage wasn’t just about wine alone, for there was a lot of information about cork, olives, and ceramic tiles, too. We were particularly blown away about all that we learned about cork during this cruise, for we saw many cork trees along

pecially noteworthy ones in the train stations of Porto and Pinhao (where scenes of Portuguese life are depicted in distinctive blue and white tiles). There were even some on our cruise ship! However, to really learn about the history of these tiles, and perhaps even make your own decorative tile to take home with you, I’d recommend a visit to Lisbon’s National Tile Museum. Our trip actually began in Lisbon, Portugal’s capital, and here we stayed at the luxurious Hotel Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa before travelling, by bus, to Portugal’s second largest city, Porto (home to port, the area’s renowned fortified wine). We then boarded our boat and began our actual cruise. We soon docked at the historic town of Regua, and near here we visited the Mateus Palace and Gardens (this palace is actually pictured on the Mateus wine label). Next we arrived at the sleepy little town of Pinhao, where we checked out the aforementioned, spectacular ceramic tiles in its train station, and then we headed, by bus, to the nearby tiny village of Favaois, where we watched bakers making bread in the traditional way. Of course,

we just had to try a sample of the bread after it emerged from the aged oven that was heated by wood and old grapevines – and it was still warm and very tasty. Another stop along the river was at Lamego, where a hilltop chapel, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies, may be reached via 686 steps up a grand double staircase. We learned that many pilgrims make the strenuous ascent on their knees! Near the Spanish border, we stopped at Castelo Rodrigo, a medieval fortress town that was so interesting that I plan to write a separate piece about it in the future. While near the border, we also took a day trip into Spain – to visit Salamanca, Spain’s oldest college town (another intriguing destination!). Our river cruise took us to Barca d’Alva, the last Portuguese town on the Douro River, and back to Porto. This provided us with a very enjoyable exploration of this region, and we not only loved our daily shore excursions, but we also had a great time while on board, too.

Drivers don PJs in support of kids with cancer
LifeLabs last week announced its partnership with the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) as lead sponsor of the Pajamas and Pancakes program. To mark the occasion, LifeLabs employees flipped pancakes and shared a pancake breakfast in their LifeLabs pajamas to raise funds and awareness in support of POGO. Proceeds from the event went directly to POGO’s mission to increase access to state-of-the-art cancer care for children and families in Ontario, support education and research initiatives and provide financial support for children and families battling cancer. “POGO - a champion of so many young people and families as they journey through kid’s cancer, needs champions to help meet the challenges and embrace the opportunities of the future. We are thrilled to welcome LifeLabs as our “Proud Partner” to our new program “Pajamas and Pancakes”. LifeLabs’ commitment allows us to sustain our unique mission to provide access to the best available support for every child in Ontario who has met the monster called cancer, and to the families who love and so desperately want to protect those children. Thank you LifeLabs, for joining
Powered By Love, a book, a movement are born Belleville – Quinte Grannies for Africa hosted the launch of the book Powered By Love, a Grandmother’s Movement to End AIDS in Africa on Thursday Nov. 2. The guests danced into the room with the song ‘Grandmothers Rising’ written and composed by Jeanette Arsenault. A panel discussion was moderated by Mama Ida, a native of Zambia, former field worker and senior advisor to the Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF).

The guests danced from the room to the SLF Foundation song: Powered by Love. All books sold were signed by the guests.

our league of champions.” said POGO spokespersonLynn Wilson, Chief Development Officer. The Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) accommodated 2800 patients this fiscal year through their 7 AfterCare clinics. For child cancer patients, pajamas symbolize hospital stays, being sick and missing school and playtime with friends. Making pajamas the visual identifier in raising child
cancer awareness, LifeLabs was a proud partner to host the first annual PJs and Pancakes fundraiser this morning to champion kids’ cancer care and build a healthier Canada. LifeLabs couriers, key to the pick-up and delivery of patient specimens and much more, sported their LifeLabs branded PJs while out on their routes to hospitals, clinics, and labs, showing support for kids with cancer.

with pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer is the 12th leading cause of cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer death in Canada. In 2017, it is expected that 5,500 Canadians will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and about 4,800 will die from the disease. The pancreas is a part of the digestive system and it is a flat, pear-shaped gland that is behind the stomach.

this statistic. We are the largest national charitable funder of pancreatic cancer research in Canada. This year so far, we are committed to funding 15 research projects related to pancreatic cancer, representing an overall commitment of $7.7 million from CCS plus an additional $1.2 million from our generous funding partners. Despite a concentrated effort to develop treatments for pancreatic cancer, it remains among the most aggressive and often untreatable cancers. CCS-funded researcher Dr John Bell from The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute has over a decade of experience developing anti-cancer viruses that can selectively kill cancer cells while leaving normal ones unharmed. Some are showing promise in clinical trials; however, they do not yet work in all patients. Dr Bell is aiming to develop viruses that are more potent and active against pancreatic cancer cells, which could also be used to treat other cancers in the future.
