Westben co-founders receive Order of Canada BY SUE DICKENS

ting right beside the Tragically Hip.” Included in the list of those receiving the Order of Canada was the late Gord Downie who had been honoured this past summer during a ceremony at Rideau Hall for his work raising awareness of Indigenous people and the issues. A dinner on the evening of the ceremony gave everyone the opportunity to meet and mingle. A highlight was when the governor general brought her chair and sat beside Finley, said Bennett. “It was very special for me to meet the governor general. She’s a super person, very extremely personable, communicative and brilliant in her gaze and her conversation and thoughts,” he said. “She is so young and so vibrant and brings such an excitement about the possibilities of what Canada can do and what it should be doing ...” Her Excellency the Right Honourable Julie Payette, Governor General of Canada, invested 10 officers and 34 members. Many of the other recipients came from big cities like Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Winnipeg, but what was important to Bennett and Finley is that they were representing the small town of Campbellford and Westben theatre. Official wording of their honour stated it is, “For their dedication to fostering the performing arts, musi- Governor General Julie Payette presented the Order of Canada to Westcal education and community build- ben Art Festival Theatre’s Donna Bennett and Brian Finley at the invesing in rural Ontario.” titure ceremony at Rideau Hall, in Ottawa on Nov. 17.

Campbellford — To some it’s small-town theatre, but for Donna Bennett and Brian Finley, co-founders of Westben, a nation has recognized their contributions to Canadian arts culture with the Order of Canada. Attending the Nov. 17 induction ceremony at Rideau Hall is something they both agree they will never forget. “We feel like we’ve been shot out of a cannon,” said Finley, as he described the experience from his home here Monday morning. “It was unbelievable. It was like stepping into this super brilliant light and meeting all these amazing people who are so friendly and so incredibly accomplished and so human ... then out of the light again and you think what was that?” he added. “We were bused to Rideau Hall and it was kind of amazing. When we came down to the lobby of the hotel, they had a red carpet to the bus and staff of the hotel lined up beside the bus clapping ... it was like Downton Abbey,” said Bennett with enthusiasm. “They don’t hand out the medal to many couples, usually it is an individual award,” and because of this before the ceremony they were put together with “another group of guys and they showed us how to walk up and bow to the governor general, the reading of the citation and then that we would shake hands and pictures would be taken." Bennett added with excitement, “I didn’t realize at the time we were sit- of everyone at Westben.”

Marmora Classic Cruisers puts it into full throttle when it comes to raising money for The Heart of Hastings Hospice. They presented Hospice with a cheque worth $2,600 this year. “The Marmora Classic Cruisers have been strong supporters of the work that we do and we are pleased to have been chosen this year to be the recipient of these funds. The residential hospice house depends on the generous donations of individuals and groups in the community to support it,” said Carrie Salsbury,

community co-ordinator for The Heart of Hastings Hospice. Hospice volunteers attended the Classic Cruise nights, rain or shine, to sell 50/50 tickets throughout the summer and fall. This money will go a long way toward helping to pay the heating bills for the upcoming winter, she explained. The Heart of Hastings Hospice is a volunteer support service dedicated to improving the quality of life for those diagnosed with a life-limiting illness — these funds will aid in the continuation of their services.

Homegrown doc hangs shingle Trees & Twilight Festival will light up historic town hall

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills — The area's newest physician is homegrown. Dr. Emilie Beyls, 26, was raised in Hastings and is a graduate of Campbellford District High School. She assumed the full practice of Dr. Celeste Collins this month and is working out of the Campbellford offices of the Trent Hills Family Health Team. “It is very exciting to be back home and contributing to the health care of Trent Hills,” she said in a statement issued by the family health team. Beyls said she decided to become a doctor when she was in Grade 8 at St. Paul Catholic Elementary School in Norwood. A teacher advised against her pursuing a career in medicine, pointing out the long hours, “but I never found anything else that kept my interest” as much as science and biology did, she said in an interview. “I thought about teaching for a while,” Beyls added, but “seeing an impact you made on someone's life, or actually changing the outcome of somebody's health,” led her to become a physician. “I always knew that coming back would be part of my career,” she said. When she was in residency a year ago finishing her training, she worked with Collins for two months “and she was wonderful ... She's such a big mentor.” It was during that time that Collins announced she was retiring and offered Beyls her practice, “which was such an honour.” “I figured this is fate telling me this is the time to come back so it was a pretty easy decision.” It's been “a seamless transition” taking over a practice that has slightly more than a thousand patients. “It was wonderful. All I had to do is walk in and just start doing what I trained to do. I didn't have to worry about finding good help or finding good nurses or people who knew the system. “I feel very fortunate ... to have been able to walk in with such great support.” Collins conducts pain clinics from her home now and is no longer involved in the practice but she has remained a good mentor to Beyls, helping her ease into her career. Beyls will also be taking some shifts at Campbellford Memorial Hospital, in the emergency department when it's busy and as a hospitalist when Dr. Neil

Pritchard is on holidays. She earned an undergraduate degree in life science at Queen's University and graduated from medical school at McMaster University last spring. Beyls has a special interest in sports medicine and completed additional training in that area. Once she is settled into her practice “I'll be looking to integrate a sports medicine component, (such as) helping out with team sports in the area.” Beyls will receive a grant of more than $80,000 from the provincial government which it offers to physicians as an incentive to practise in a rural area. “I would have come anyways,” she said. “There's something about being back home that gives you more confidence as well ... to practise medicine in all aspects of care.” Which includes making home visits to “select” patients, those who are receiving palliative care or are severely disabled. One of Beyls' colleagues in the family health team is Dr. Elias Maraghi in Hastings. “He's been my CAMPAIGN doctor since I was a

baby,” she said.

Norwood — The historic Norwood Town Hall will be dressed for the season during the first ever Trees & Twilight Festival, taking place Dec. 1-3. The mini festival of trees hosted by the Asphodel-Norwood Historical Society is a first for the village and a fundraiser for the volunteer organization, which has accumulated an astonishing collection and operates an impressive heritage centre in Westwood. The festival has already attracted more than 30 trees from local organizations, businesses and individuals, says historical society chairperson Paula Warr. “The response has been remarkable,” Warr says. The festive event kicks off with a Friday night licensed gala (7 to 10 p.m.) featuring musical entertainment, a standup comedian, catered hors d’oeuvres and a first chance to view the dazzling trees. On Saturday, Dec. 2, the doors open at 9 a.m. with a Christmas vendor’s market and a “Children’s Tea Party in the Northwoods” featuring story readings every hour (9:30 to 11:30 a.m.). In the evening, the Donegal Fiddlers will be the special guests. On Sunday, Dec. 3, there will be a lunch and tea from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. as well as the Christmas market and tree display. The Friday night gala is an age-ofmajority, ticket-only ($15) event. Admission on Saturday (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) is $2 with youth 16 and under free. Sunday’s “Christmas Lunch and Tea” is also an advance ticket-only event. There are two sittings, 11 a.m. and 12:30 a.m. — tickets are $8 each. Warr says the society wanted to do “something nice” at the 140-year-old town hall and initially thought of a Victorian tea. “It kind of grew from there and we said ‘Why not have trees?’” she said. “It’s a fundraiser for the historical society to help preserve our collection and keep doing the programming we’ve been doing.”

Events at the heritage centre have included a brides of the township showcase and a one-room schoolhouse exhibition. “I think this is going to encompass a lot of groups and helps us make connections with other organizations that may not know what we do," said Warr. Tickets are available at Home Hardware stores in Norwood and Hastings as well as by calling 705-772-0136 or 705-837-2064.

OPINION

All quiet on the climate front “Promoting coal at a climate summit is like promoting tobacco at a cancer summit,” said Michael Bloomberg, the former New York mayor, but President Donald J. Trump did exactly that. He sent team of American Gwynne Dyer adiplomats and energy executives to the annual world climate summit, being held this year in Bonn, Germany, to extol the wonders of “clean” coal. Bloomberg, now a UN special envoy for climate change, got it right. The audience at the US presentation heckled and mocked the presenters. Where people who were concerned about global warming once worried about whether the US government would dare to defy the fossil fuel lobby at home, the denialists now control the government – and it turns out not to matter all that much. There are several reasons for that. One is that global coal use has gone into steep decline as the cost of renewable energy has dropped. It’s just not competitive any more, and China and India have cancelled plans for hundreds of new coal-fired power plants this year. Even in the United States, the share of electricity coming from coal fell from 51 percent in 2008 to only 31 percent last year – and US coal companies are going bankrupt. A second reason is that Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement has had zero impact internationally. The fear that other countries would also default on their commitments proved to be unfounded, and the United States is literally the only country on the planet that does not subscribe to the treaty. Indeed, Christiana Figueres, the UN’s chief climate negotiator, actually thanked Trump for his attempt to wreck the Paris deal. “It provoked an unparalleled wave of support for the treaty,” she said. “He shored up the world’s resolve on climate action, and for that we can all be grateful.” Finally, Trump has been outflanked by a new alliance announced in Bonn on Monday that links the fifteen US states committed to strong climate action with the Canadian and Mexican governments in a continent-wide group that concentrates on phasing out coal power and boosting clean power and transport. Much of the US contribution to emissions cuts that Trump reneged on will be covered by these state-level American initiatives.

There are other causes for alarm, of course. There always are. After three years when global carbon dioxide emissions stayed steady, albeit at a very high level, they have started rising again. And there is an unexplained rise in methane emissions in the tropics, not caused by burning fossil fuels, that leads some scientists to suspect that one of the dreaded feedbacks is kicking in. Feedbacks are the spectre at the feast. You can get everything else right, your emissions are going down nicely, and you are on course to stop the warming just before the average global temperature reaches two degrees C higher – and then suddenly, the whole global system goes into overdrive. The warming that human beings have already caused has triggered some other, natural source of warming that we cannot shut off. The consensus among scientists is that the risk of triggering feedbacks rises steeply in the vicinity of 2 degrees C higher average global temperature, which is why the world’s governments have all promised never to exceed that target. But there could be some unknown trigger in the system that would set off runaway warming at a significantly lower average global temperature: the whole process, as they say, is “non-linear”. So we are still living dangerously, and it is still uncertain whether we can ratchet down emissions fast enough to stop the temperature rise in time. But there are big changes in the offing that will make it easier to cut emissions: meat substitutes and lab-grown meat, electric vehicles, and further rapid falls in the price of renewables like solar and wind. There is also now a unity of purpose that was previously absent from the climate talks: the long struggle between the rich and the poor countries over who is to blame for the problem and who pays to fix it is largely over. And although President Xi did not come in person, China is definitely taking the lead. Nobody in Bonn is celebrating the US government’s defection from the fight against climate change, but their panic is long past. The Bonn meeting has concentrated on writing the rules for measuring how countries are complying with the promises they have made on emissions cuts. It also had to figure out how to organise the five-yearly reviews at which the countries are supposed to adopt progressively higher targets for cuts. When the conference closes on Friday, there will be no exciting new announcements of breakthroughs, but we don’t need that. The real breakthrough came in Paris in 2015, and the objective now is to keep the show on the road. So far, so good.

Editorial by Chris Malette Most Ontario colleges were founded between 1965 and 1967, after the passage of then Minister of Education Bill Davis’ Bill-153 on May 21, 1965, to create a post-secondary educational system different from that of universities. The original intent of community colleges, in Davis’ creation, was to offer “career-oriented, post-secondary education and training to assist individuals in finding and keeping employment...” and the original concept was to do so using staff with solid experience in their fields, with assistance in transitioning to an academic setting, to teach first-hand knowledge to those going out into the field. Today? Not so much, as the college system has now been supplanted with something that resembles university-lite, in which “professors,” if they are to be offered one of the scarce full-time positions, must hold a master’s degree in their field – never mind the fact they may have only worked a year or two in that chosen field. Such is the university-envy of the current system, now light years away from what Davis had intended, that it has become a bloated, massively expensive concept to maintain because of the salaries promised to uber-educated, but, in too many cases, under-qualified-in-careerexperienced ‘profs.’ The solution, then, for the colleges? Hire hourly-paid part-timers with more experience in their fields, but do so in numbers that make them the norm in the classroom. Students, who are often lured with the impression of full-time, highly-qualified instructors, only arrive to find they have as a teacher someone who’s doing the gig part-time with a massive workload of prep and marking to make those teachers’ stipends almost a wash or even a loss as to what they can be earning back in their real, fulltime jobs. It is, then, the students who got hooped in the whole current labour strife. The government forced the strike to end, the union insisted this could have been wrapped up shortly after it began, had, of course, the government and the ministry caved on some union demands. No one ‘won’ this messy battle. “We would have liked this (the strike) to have been done five weeks ago,” said Eric Bauer, the president of OPSEU 420, which represents Loyalist. There are several reasons why faculty members went on strike, but the chief among them was the shift of the Employer Council in recent years to hire few full-time instructors, leaving programs to be taught mostly by part-time em-

ployees. There are also issues related to academic decision making. Bauer said the strike was difficult on an emotional level. He said many faculty members bumped into students out in the community over the past five weeks and those students asked about when the strike might end and why it was taking so long? Bauer said union members wanted to ensure that when it ended they would be able to tell students that the college system is better now. “People out here (were) freezing for a reason,” he said. “We don’t want to go in there and say, ‘We spent all this time here, and it added up to nothing.’” With all respect, Mr. Bauer, it did add up to nothing and the students suffered as a result. It was reported Monday that students who quit college because of the five-week strike can get full tuition refunds, while those who are staying can apply for up to $500 in financial aid, said Deb Matthews, Minister for Advanced Education. So, it appears everyone from the colleges themselves to the ministry are bowing and scraping to try and make things up to students. Word from the teachers? Not much, other than the previous comments chastising the other side for not budging in negotiations. Loyalist College issued a statement that outlined how the missed time will be made up. Fall semester classes will run until Friday, December 22 and resume on Tuesday, Jan. 2 and run up to and including January 19. The winter semester will start on Monday, January 29 and end on Friday, April 27. A study week is planned for March 12 to 16 (to be confirmed). Watch that last date. Would not be surprised to see that week sacrificed in the name of cramming in the school year. Students returned to class Tuesday and will see their semesters extended to Dec. 22, just three days before Christmas. As in the case of many, they may stick to their travel plans – many booked weeks and even months in advance of the strike – and possibly harm their course performance in so doing. No one – not one side, from teachers, their unions, the ministry or the provincial government – covered themselves in glory in this strike debacle. As always, it was the students who placed their trust and committed themselves to enrolling this fall who were burned. And we wonder why and how they become cynical and disillusioned?

Tweed and Area Arts Council Stirling’s Farmtown Park hosts Christmas event Student Theatre presents, T’was the Night Before Christmas BY TAYLOR BERTELINK

Tweed — The Tweed and Area Arts Council, Student Theatre hopes to put people in the Christmas spirit at the presentation of its seasonal show, T'was the Night Before Christmas. Fourteen students from Tweed Elementary School ranging in ages of seven to 14 will put on a show full of music, dancing and storytelling for one night only on Saturday Dec. 2 at the Marble Arts Centre at 7 p.m. “The show entails two events, Peter Snell is going to read a Christmas story to start the show — there will intermission and then the kids show will be the second half,” said Bonnie Marentette, member of the board of directors for the Tweed and Area Arts Council and is the youth director. The production has been entertaining the community for the past seven years and this year’s play is expected to be a good one. “We are the only group that has filled the space to overflowing — there are 120 seats out there and we fill them all,” said Marentette. Tickets will be available at the door, $5 for adults and $10 for a family of four. Those who attend the show are encouraged to bring a food item to donate to the local food bank. The kids have been working for a month to prepare for the evening show, practicing twice a week. “The best part is watching the kids when they get

up on stage and just outdo themselves — this building will just be exploding that night. Some of them come in very shy and you just see them blossom on the stage and it’s so cool to see that,” said Marentette. “It’s a chance for people to really get into the Christmas spirit. If they haven't gotten into it yet, then this is the show to do it,” she added.

If anything, people were looking for an event Stirling — Christmas arrived at Farmtown Park’s Heritage Village on the weekend of Nov. to brighten an otherwise-dreary weekend. “It was fantastic,” said Farmtown manager 17-19. The weather was anything but wintery, with rain for much of the weekend, but it cer- Margaret Grotek. “We had record attendance. There were so many people. It was a really successful weekend.” People bought raffle tickets on decorated trees, swags and wreaths, all sponsored by local businesses and organizations and decorated by Farmtown volunteers. All the money raised through admission, raffles and merchandise sales go to support Farmtown, which is also known as the Hastings County Museum of Agricultural Heritage. The total amount raised was not available at press time. The two hand-made RCMP Moose standing at attention by the Heritage Village entrance were auctioned off to raise money for Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. “The moose went to a good home,” Grotek said, saying that Marvin Cooney of Stirling was the winning bidder.

It was always more than a car wash BY TAYLOR BERTELINK

Madoc — After more than 10 years of operation, the Centre Car Wash in Madoc will be shutting off the hoses and closing up shop on Dec. 19. Madoc Constructive Opportunities for Progressive Employment, better known as Madoc COPE operated the car wash as an employment training site for people with developmental disabilities. More than a year ago the site was deemed by the Ministry of Community and Social Services a “Sheltered Workshop” and the agency was directed by the ministry to submit a transition plan for the site. “The car wash was never meant to be a business that was generating a lot of revenue it was meant to be an employment training site where people could build transferable employment skills,” said Beverly Lloyd, executive director of Madoc COPE. After reviewing and weighing all options, taking into consideration the proposed changes to the Employment Standards Act and the local employment demographics the agency came to the difficult decision to transition out of employment supports and close the site. The board and staff of Madoc COPE Corporation assure that this is not a loss, but a change in service delivery.

“As the ministry transforms there are ups and downs that can appear to be disappointing but it’s certainly moving in the direction that we are all here for, and that’s the people we support,” said Christine Spencer, services and supports co-ordinator for Madoc COPE. Seven people are currently engaged in employment training at the site — a number of people have gained competitive employment as a result of the training over the years. “I certainly assure you that the board of directors and management have taken a lengthy amount of time — looked at every avenue, explored all options to be able to determine the best option to move forward for the people we support — it was a person-centred decision,” said Spencer. The people presently training at the car wash site are being supported to find alternatives to meet their individual goals which may include employment. “We know it was very popular in the community and we know people are going to miss it,” said Lloyd. She clarified that other programs at the agency will not be affected. Those who have a gift certificate for the car wash are encouraged to book an appointment to use it prior to Dec. 19 as that will be the last day the site will be open.

Stirling Greenhawk holds painting day for horse lovers BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling—The Greenhawk harness and tack shop in Stirling was among a plethora of communities across Canada and the USA taking part in the annual Breyer Fun Day, during which model horse enthusiasts gathered to paint a little plastic horse that they could take home with them. The Stirling event, held on Saturday, Nov. 18, attracted a large crowd of children eager to take part. Each child received a free unpainted Breyer Stablemate model horse, along with a goodie bag containing treats and horse-related items. All the paints and other supplies were provided by Greenhawk, and there was no charge to sign up. Many a parent took part, too, as the lure of painting a horse too strong to ignore. Each child’s name was entered in a raffle for the chance to win a Breyer model of American Triple Crown winner American Pharoah.

The Stockdales and Embrdale are no strangers to awards having twice won the Master Breeder’s Shield (1999, 2016), the Holstein Association of Canada’s top award. Embrdale started in 1947 with the initials of Earl and Ferna May Stockdale, followed by their sons Brian and Robert to create the "Embr" in Embrdale. When Earl retired, Robert operated the farm with his wife Laura and sons David and Kirk; now David and his family carry on the Embrdale tradition.

Bylaw officer hired in Stirling BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling—With Stirling-Rawdon now being policed by the Ontario Provincial Police, bylaw enforcement — previously done by the Stirling-Rawdon Police Service — was falling by the wayside. Now, however, residents will now have to start paying attention to local bylaws or risk getting fined for infractions. At its meeting on Monday, Nov. 20, council passed a bylaw to appoint a bylaw enforcement officer to make sure municipal laws are being upheld. “I think it’s a great thing going forward,” said Mayor Rodney Cooney. The new officer is Gord Leaver of Tweed, who also enforces bylaws in several other area municipalities, including Marmora and Tyendinaga. In other news, council authorized a subdivision agreement with two Ontario numbered companies to permit the creation of a new subdivision on Tuftsville Road. The mayor said the development will include 15 to 17 lots from

regular residential size to estate lots. “The biggest is maybe an acre,” said Stirling CAO Roxanne Hearns. She said the development is outside the sewer and water system, so homes will be on wells and septic systems. The agreement includes a long list of requirements that the developer must meet, including erosion control and underground hydro services. Council also voted to authorize the execution of a contract with Belleville, Quinte West, Prince Edward County and five other area municipalities to establish, maintain and operate a waste management system. Cooney said this is primarily to deal with recycling and changes that may be coming to how recycling is done. Councillor Grant Hagerman, in talking about the Transportation Committee minutes, said that the committee received 16 written submissions regarding a proposal to make Mill Street oneway eastbound. “The majority were opposed,” he said.

Festival of Trees weekend a sparkling success BY TAYLOR BERTELINK

Madoc — An array of trees decorated in colours of red, green and sparkling twinkle lights, illuminated the inside of the Arts Centre for the Festival of Trees weekend. From Nov. 16 to 19, more than 600 people from across Centre Hastings, Marmora, Stirling, Madoc and Belleville purchased tickets to came and admire the decorated trees. The fundraiser for the Business Improvement Team better known as the BIT was a great success, as funds raised over the weekend were enough to fund the purchase of six new benches and some planters for the beautification of the streetscape of downtown Madoc. “Our hearts are in Madoc and everything we do is for the goodness of our town and our community and that’s what we are all about,” said Fred Bendell, co-chair of the BIT. The weekend began with an opening gala on Nov. 16 for sponsors and dignitaries who contributed to making the Festival of Trees event possible. Dignitaries such as, Mike Bossio, Daryl Kramp, Rodney Cooney and Mayor Tom Deline, along with others enjoyed an evening of wine, cheese and appetizers for a night of socializing. Viewers had the opportunity to purchase $2 raffle tickets for beautifully decorated trees, wreaths and swags. Winners were selected on the final day of Festival of Trees and 40 people walked away with a new Christmas item. “We’ve done a year’s worth of work in three months — Shannon Thomson gave me so much help and we had so much fun decorating the trees,” said professional decorator, Lynda Akey. Five, full size trees and six five foot slim trees were beautifully decorated with an assortment of ornaments ranging in various themes for each tree. “What a beautiful room and what a beautiful park — The BIT team has just done a fantastic job. If this is any indication of what the down-

Madoc - Central Hastings OPP have been kept busy with a rash of motor vehicle incidents and property crimes in the past week. On Nov. 13 Central Hastings OPP were conducting traffic control on Crookston Rd, east of Highway 62, when a van failed to stop for police around 7:26 p.m. After investigation, the OPP arrested and charged 48-year-old Martin Frantz of Centre Hastings with impaired driving, driving with more than 80 mgs of alcohol in his blood and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. He received a 90-day administrative drivers licence suspension and will appear in Ontario Court of Justice, Nov. 30. Two Centre Hastings residents were also charged on Nov. 11 after a member of the Central Hastings OPP stopped two vehicles at 9:25 p.m. travelling southbound on Highway 62 at high speeds. Twenty-two-year-old, Colten Chamberlain of Madoc Township was charged with impaired driving, refusal to provide a breath sample, unauthorized possession of a firearm, stunt driving and driving with open liquor in motor vehicle.

BY SUE DICKENS

Northumberland — There’s an ‘icon’ic change happening at the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit with a new immunization Connect Ontario tool that is making it easier to track vaccination records. In a press release issued Nov. 16, the health unit suggested that “a bit of screen time on your cell, tablet or desktop computer could be good for your health.” The health unit is promoting a new web-based program that makes it easier for families to track and manage their children’s immunization records. The Immunization Connect Ontario (ICON) tool (hkpr.icon.ehealthontario.ca) has launched in Haliburton County, Northumberland County and the City of Kawartha Lakes as part of a provincial rollout of the system. “No more need for paper immunization records, as ICON is a secure, online tool that par-

ents and guardians can access any time,” said Marianne Rock, manager of communicable disease control, epidemiology and evaluation with HKPR. “ICON allows parents and guardians to view, print or update their children’s immunization records. The system also provides notification when a child requires new vaccines.” According to Rock, ICON will be helpful for families with children, who typically require certain vaccines to attend daycares and schools. As well, ICON allows parents and guardians to more easily update new vaccines their children receive to keep immunization records up-todate. Before accessing the system, the program requires an Ontario Immunization ID and PIN number. To get this information, local residents can call the health unit at 1-866-888-4577, ext. 1507.

Marmora grant program to pave way for help on private roads BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — A new grant program to assist eligible private road associations has been given the green light by Marmora and Lake council. Kevin Hart, Marmora and Lake’s manager of transportation, presented the proposal to council with a recommendation to set the maximum allowable grant at $500 per km. Hart noted in his report that there are 48 private roads in the municipality totalling 39 kilometres and only one is known to have a road association, Cook Road Association. Private roads are owned and maintained by the owners who use the road. Hart noted that “municipal roads are maintained to a higher standard and used by the public at large.” The municipality does not spend any money on the private roads nor does it assume any liability. Hart wrote, “The municipality may assume a private road providing it is brought to the minimum standard set by the municipality.” From time to time petitions are received by the municipality from property owners asking if it will assume the road maintenance and instead of doing this the municipality will establish a grant program to assist the association. It was made clear the grant does not cover the cost of snow plowing, sanding, salting, or any other form of maintenance.

There are rules governing associations, such as having at least three residents or households on the road and they form an association representing at least two-thirds of the residents dependent on the road for access to their property. It was also recommended that $5,000 be set aside in the 2018 budget for grant purposes. An application process is part of the request for the grant. “This has been a long time coming. It looks great," said Deputy Mayor Linda Bracken. Council voted unanimously for approval of the new grant program. “That was an excellent report, very thorough. I am sure the people on Cook Road will be very happy we do have this policy in place now,” said Bracken.

Kevin Hart, Marmora and Lake’s manager of transportation services presented a recommendation to council for a new grant program to help with costs of maintenance of private roads with an association, and it received unanimous approval. Sue Dickens/Metroland

At noon on Saturday, Nov. 25, the Stirling Rotary Club’s fourth annual on-line Christmas auction will get underway and will continue for 15 days. “Thanks to the generosity of many area businesses and thoughtful friends, we have an impressive lineup of one-of-a-kind items up for bids,” said Rotarian Terry Vollum. “This is a terrific opportunity for early-bird shoppers to snap up a gift for those impossible-to-buyfor people on their Christmas list, without the hassle of rushing from store to store.” The auction includes more than three dozen items, including gift certificates to area businesses and restaurants, a Belleville Senators game experience that includes four tickets to the newly designed mezzanine area at the Yardman Arena and green fee passes to Oak Hills, Salt Creek and Warkworth golf courses. “There are specialty gift baskets from World’s Finest Chocolate, Jessie’s Jams and Empire Cheese, plus all sorts of items you won’t find in any store, like the

Family Campfire Pack that includes a large bushel basket of split maple hardwood, split kindling, campfire roasting sticks, hot chocolate mix, campfire mugs, marshmallows, wieners and buns, plus all the ingredients and instructions to make s’mores and a bottle of Bailey’s to keep the chill off,” Vollum said. He said that all the proceeds from the Christmas online auction stay in the community to help fund worthwhile local projects, among them the Stirling Community Cupboard and Kim Finkle’s Christmas sharing baskets program. The auction can be accessed through www.myminiauction.com/stirlingrotaryclub and runs until noon on Saturday, Dec. 9. “Stirling Rotarians are encouraging people to drop by and maybe do a little Christmas shopping with them this year, keeping in mind that it’s all for a good cause,” Vollum said. There is also more information on the Stirling Rotary Club’s Facebook page.

Trevor and Shelley Hagerman of TH Logistics in Stirling have donated a special Belleville Senators’ hockey package to the fourth annual Stirling Rotary Online Christmas Auction. This item is one of more than three dozen unique gift ideas up for bids. Submitted photo

Campbellford plunges deeper in Junior C hockey standings

Norwood Knights edged in senior football semifinal BY BILL FREEMAN

Cobourg — It was Hail Mary heartbreak for the Norwood District High Senior Knights in the Eastern Ontario Six-a-Side Football League semifinal. The Knights were edged 16-14 by the St. Mary Thunder who rallied late in the fourth quarter with all-or-nothing pass to the end zone which was caught and gave the Cobourg school the win on Nov. 9. The St. Mary's drive turned on the Knight’s inability to convert an earlier third down that would have sealed the win and given Norwood a chance to play for its third league title in four seasons. The game was a showcase for tough defence and hard yards earned and was completely different than Norwood’s emphatic 45-0 quarter-final win over the Rideau Secondary School Lions. The Thunder scored first following a blocked punt and made the two point convert for an early 8-0 lead but the Knights answered back immediately with a huge run by Logan Hall who eluded tacklers along the sideline. Norwood missed the convert and trailed 8-6 which is how the score stayed until the third quarter thanks to solid defence on both sides of the ball. Midway through the third NDHS went to its five-wide formation and started moving the ball. The offensive scheme made it difficult for the Thunder to establish coverage. The offensive change worked with Owen Hubert finding Nolan Fluke behind the Thunder defence for a clear 40yard sprint to the end zone. With the convert Norwood moved ahead 14-8 going into the fourth quarter which would be dominated by defence until the late-game Hail Mary that gave the Thunder the win. “It was a tough one,” Knights coach Rick Thompson said. “It was

a good season. We were short on total numbers but the players who were out were extremely committed.” The Knights finished 3-3 a huge improvement on last year’s 0-4 season. Whether the Knights stick with six-a-side or move back up to the Kawartha League depends on numbers but Thompson sees a “very competitive team” with returning and seniors and juniors moving up. The Junior Knights went 1-4 in

the Kawartha League and played well against schools of similar size. “Six-a-side is a great game for small schools to be involved in,” says Thompson. “It includes all the fundamentals of the game (and) in the end they’re still blocking and tackling. (It’s) just less guys involved in each play.”

hasn't lost her sense of humour after a couple of trying months. “I thought we would have done better so, yes, it's obviously frustrating,” she admitted. The thumping came a day after the Rebels were pummeled 13-1 at home by the Port Hope Panthers. It was 13th time the club had given up 10 or more goals (Sunday's defeat made it 14). Campbellford's lone goal was by affiliated player Caleb Outred at 12:32 of the third period. “It's not as bad as it looks,” Cross said. Parents of the players “are talking positively about every other thing ... than the fact that we're losing,” and attendance is up compared to last season, she said. “It's typically around 100 to 120. I'd love to see more.” The financial side of things is “okay, really. I've got nothing to complain about,” Cross said. “I took this on for the long haul, not for the season. I knew this was going to be a three-year project, to get it going properly.” “We're not entirely discouraged, we knew it was going to be a tough year,” she said. “We're not giving up, that's for sure.” Campbellford hosts Port Hope Friday and Napanee Saturday. Both games start at 7:30 p.m.

Campbellford – That hole just keeps on getting deeper for the Campbellford Rebels. The team is as low as you can get 20 games into the 2017-18 season, having not won a game in the Tod Division of the Provincial Junior Hockey League. “We're still working on things,” said Michelle Cross, the Rebels' new owner. “We haven't started off this year the way we should have.” The team is having “a little bit of trouble,” with injuries and suspensions playing a part. The abysmal record led to coach Brent Tupling being released last month and assistant coach Bill Glover taking his spot. In a season of lopsided losses last Sunday's 16-0 shellacking by the Raiders in Napanee was especially humiliating. The goaltending tandem of Nathan Walford and Mike Ellis faced 116 shots while their mates managed only eight in response. It was “a bad game” but Cross took exception to the shot count, saying the numbers were way out of whack. “They were counting shots that were going past the net,” she said. There's no point making an issue of it, “it just makes our goalie look that much better,” she quipped, demonstrating she

Santa conquers Havelock — rain and all

Another strong launch for the Christmas toy and food drive in Trent Hills BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Maddison Haye, Evan Ellis and Mikayla Gilroy of the Havelock Tyke Hawks were bundled up for Havelock Lions Santa Claus Parade on Nov. 18. Bill Freeman/Metroland

BY BILL FREEMAN

Havelock — It would take more than a little rain to dampen the Santa spirit in Havelock. The Havelock Lions Santa Claus Parade was one of the biggest and most colourful in the event’s history despite a steady rain. There was a festive feeling and an all-for-one party atmosphere throughout the route which took the parade downtown and back to the community centre where Santa hosted a meet and greet with soggy but cheerful paradegoers. In all, Santa had an impressive escort of 24 floats and three bands along with fire trucks and

police cruisers. Organizers caught a break in the temperatures, which remained mild throughout the evening and kept the freezing away so families lining the parade route could enjoy the fun. A team of rockin’ ghostbusters was on hand to make sure the parade route was free of any grinchy spirits and spectres. The parade float winners were: first, HBM Fire Department; second, No. 7 Auto Plaza; third, Havelock and District Snowmobile Club; and honourable mention went to the Havelock Lions.

Trent Hills – It’s a job too big for one man, as remarkable as Santa Claus is. Having organizations like Community Living Campbellford/Brighton and the Trent Hills Fire Department pitch in every year with their Christmas Wish Toy and Food Drive ensures no child in the area will go without Dec. 25. The drive’s launch on Nov. 17 points to another successful campaign this winter as dozens of students from Kent Public School and St. Mary Catholic Elementary School filled Santa’s sleigh at the Campbellford Community Resource Centre. Trent Hills Deputy Mayor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan was the first to drop a gift in. She spoke to the children later while they enjoyed hot chocolate and cookies, saying she was delighted to see the spirit they have for Christmas and “for giving something to somebody who may not get something for Christmas. For me it’s a real treat to be here, I have a lot of respect for you ... Thank you for giving this Christmas.” Fire Chief Tim Blake added his thanks, telling the children the toys they donated will be distributed Dec. 11, with the help of area schoolteachers who select the students who will benefit the most from the community’s kindness. Last year the drive brightened Christmas for 145 families in Trent Hills. The fire department and Community Living joined forces on the toy and food drive in 2010. “Since then we’ve had a lot of others come on board,” said Dawn Lee, director of quality enhancement and community development for Community Living. They include a motorcycle toy ride organized by John McEvoy, Murray Kirkland, Blake and the fire department. Held in September it collected donations of toys and money that added up to more than $3,100, the most yet in the ride’s five-year history. She told the students to give themselves a pat on the back for their generosity and to thank their teachers and principals for their support. The Youth Advisory Council at Campbellford District High School and Campbellford Veterinary Services are once again partnering with Community Living and the fire department.

The Belleville Senators era begins

fter seven home games in a span of fifteen days, the Belleville Senators have officially announced themselves to the Bay of Quinte region. “The response from our community has been spectacular,” said Rob Mullowney, Chief Operating Officer of the Belleville Senators. “We have one of the strongest season ticket bases in the entire league and sold our

opening game out weeks before the start of the season. This community was hungry for the return of hockey and have embraced our team from the start. We are very thankful for that.” This marks a new era in what is a longstanding history of hockey in the area and fans are flocking to the team to show their support. “Our merchandise is roaring – it seems like no matter where you go in the

area someone is wearing a Belleville Senators hat, t-shirt or sweater,” said Mullowney. “We have had more than 2,500,000 impressions on social media and over 200,000

webpage views in the past 30 days. This support is crucial to our success and we will work very hard to provide fans with a product that continues to compel them.” “Beyond that, we will find ways to say thank you as often as possible.” On November 10th, the team announced the start of 50/50 Raffle Draws at home games in cooperation with the Ottawa Senators

Hells Angel Leclair sold coke, gun on his own, lawyer insists BY CHRIS MALETTE

He may have been a Hells Angel, but Yvan Leclair was on his own when selling cocaine and guns to undercover cops, insisted the Shannonville man’s lawyer when he made a plea deal to drug and gun charges. Leclair, 49, recently pleaded guilty in Belleville court to selling an ounce of cocaine to one undercover officer and a modified semi-automatic rifle to another agent between September, 2016, and January, 2017. He was given two years in prison on top of pre-trial custody served since being jailed in February. He was among those rounded up in a sweeping bust to control drugs and weapons being smuggled and sold along the Highway 401 corridor and US border region in February, dubbed Operation Silkstone. Leclair, who lived on land he owned along Lazier Road in Shannonville (his Leclair Logging is highly visible from Highway 401 near Shannonville Road) agreed to forfeit land, “the firearm seized, ammunition, drugs (cocaine) drug paraphernalia and several pieces of clothing,” said Crown attorney Pardeep Bhachu. The weapon in question was a Russian-made SKS semiautomatic on which police charged Leclair had included a modified, illegal magazine capable of holding several

rounds more than the original factory version. Some versions of modified clips for the SKS are capable of firing 20 to 30 rounds in rapid succession. Leclair, who had only previously been released from pris-

on on previous drug charges prior to being arrested in the Silkstone raids, was described by police in February as a fullpatch member of Hells Angels, However, Leclair’s defence lawyer, Ed Kafka, insisted on having it made clear in court

record on Leclair’s plea and conviction that “none of the activities were at the direction of the Hells Angels,” said Bhachu. He had been originally charged with a slew of crimes, but most were withdrawn, said

the Crown, for being duplications of original offences. He was also convicted for having breached a lifetime weapons ban imposed on his previous criminal convictions. Leclair’s plea and conviction was the fourth of six local individuals charged in Silkstone, which included 18 individuals across Ontario, into Quebec and even Connecticut. Project Silkstone — which spanned 18 months of undercover and intelligence investigation - involved OPP, the RCMP, Quebec provincial police, Montreal police, the Canada Border Services Agency and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. Hundreds of officers participated in the investigation, which culminated in 22 simultaneous raids across the province and parts of Quebec, police said. Over the course of the probe, OPP said in statements at the time that investigators seized 11,500 pills containing fentanyl, eight kilograms of cocaine and 7.5 kilograms of ecstasy, among other drugs and drug equipment. Police also seized 23 firearms, including pistols and long guns, as well as Canadian and U.S. currency and $50,000 worth of casino chips as part of the investigation. The remainder of those charged are still working their way through the courts – all of which cases are being heard in Belleville courts.

Bancroft OPP said the collision occurred early Saturday in the area of Reber Road in Carlow-Mayo Township, southeast of Maynooth near the Madawaska River.

According to a statement issued by OPP, “once (on scene), officers located a 70-year-old male who was later pronounced deceased.” Details of the collision were not provided and it is not known what the man hit while riding his ATV en route to a hunting watch.

Air Force Museum concert was a stirring success BY JACK EVANS

Quinte West - With 500 chairs set up, the Quinte Symphonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third annual Tribute to the Brave Concert Sunday in the National Air Force Museum of Canada drew a capacity crowd. From the opening â&#x20AC;&#x153;O Canada,â&#x20AC;? performed powerfully by the recently formed Trenton area Military Wives Choir, to the closing finale of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amazing Graceâ&#x20AC;? with all participants involved â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the orchestra, 8 Wing Concert Band, 8 Wing Pipes and Drums and the choir, the audience was held almost spellbound. One of the highlights by the orchestra was the popular Sibelius â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finlandia,â&#x20AC;? a patrioticâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;inspired work by the Finnish composer. The symphonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently acquired new tympani thundered out in a polished performance. Inspiring also was the stirring Triumphant March from the opera â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aidaâ&#x20AC;? by Verdi, after which the concert band joined the orchestra for a spirited performance of the popular march, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colonel Bogey.â&#x20AC;? Then the concert band went on its own for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the Rainbowâ&#x20AC;? with songstress Anita Halfpenny, and a big band medley called â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a Miller Mood.â&#x20AC;? This included â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moonlight

Serenade,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve Got a Gal in Kalamazoo,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Brown Jug,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Last,â&#x20AC;? all audience pleasers. The orchestrally colourful and perennially popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;English Folk Song Suite,â&#x20AC;?

with the band and orchestra joining forces, also made a stirring impression on the huge audience, before a brief salute to the Remembrance season with playing of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Post,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reveille,â&#x20AC;? and a lament,

which brought intermission. The second half opened with the pipe band showing its stuff in a set that included â&#x20AC;&#x153;Journey to Skye,â&#x20AC;?and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farewell to Nigg,â&#x20AC;? followed by a selection of First World War hits like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep the Home Fires Burningâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Long Way to Tipperary,â&#x20AC;? marching off to â&#x20AC;&#x153; When the Battleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Over.â&#x20AC;? A contemporary work by Kingstonbased composer John W. N. Palmer,â&#x20AC;? was another chance for the symphony to show off. Called â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Celtic Fantasy,â&#x20AC;? in three movements, it showed that Canadian composers can be competitively creative and still please audiences. This annual concert would not be complete in its air base surroundings without the beloved RCAF March, performed in style by the orchestra and 8 Wing Concert Band combined. Quinte Symphony conductor Dan Tremblay and 8 Wing Band master WO Martin Labbe shared conducting duties during the concert. The symphonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next concert is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmas Traditions Old and Newâ&#x20AC;?on Sunday, Dec. 10 at 2:30 p.m. in Centennial Secondary School.

Its official, winter is on its way. Most of us have seen snow already and there is a decided chill in the air. Even though it may seem easier to stay indoors, NOW is the last chance for you to get a few things done to set you on the path to a great spring in your outdoor spaces. When it comes to getting the outside ready for winter, here is my personal list of things I make sure that I get done at this time of the year 1. Wrap those evND ergreens! I received so many emails from fans and readers last spring about their cedars and boxwoods having brown sections. There are several things that cause this, but there is one solution that deals with a lot of the issues. Get out the burlap or anti-des-

iccant spray and cover your evergreens. Plants like boxwoods, yews and cedars stay green all year (hence the name ‘evergreens’). These plants retain their chlorophyll in their leaves and needles. It’s this chlorophyll that works in producing energy and food for the plant. This process of photosynthesis also requires light and water. When we get bright sunny days in the winter and early spring, the plants start to make energy. Unfortunately, the ground is still frozen, preventing the roots from getting any water to the plant. This is what causes the brown sections…they are simply drying out. The burlap wrap slows down this process, allowing the tree to naturally keep up with the water supply 2. Prune woody shrubs and trees now. Pruning at this time of the year, once the leaves have fallen, has been shown to be less stressful on the plant. The changing of leaf-colour signifies the movement of sap from the branches of the plant into the roots. The sap is what feeds the tree and helps promote growth. When the plants are dormant, they store all of their sap reserves in their roots. Come spring, these extra reserves promote lots of healthy new growth and significantly more blooms! 3. Empty out all of your outdoor planters. I had more split pots last winter then I’ve ever had before. A cold winter is hard on your planters; whether they are clay, plastic or even wood. The soil inside the pots is the problem. This soil retains moisture. As it freezes and thaws, this soil expands and contracts splitting even the strongest containers. Instead of soil, fill your planters with mulch so that you can still create beautiful holiday arrangements at the front door. Then you can put the mulch in the garden come thaw. 4. Clean out the garage! Now this doesn’t feel like it would be a gardening job, but cleaning out the garage at this time of year is definitely a priority in my house. Not just because I want to fit my car back into it, clearing the garage when the weather is warm enough to have the door open makes life so much easier for the gardeners like me who save pots, hoses, tools and all kinds of awkward items in the garage for when I might need to use them. Start by getting everything off the ground! Being able to see the entire floor makes a room more spacious. Utilize racks and wall mounting systems to get awkward items like wheelbarrows, garden rakes and shovels up and out of the way. These few jobs that you can actually get done this week will help you get on track for the spring ahead even if it seems so far away at this point!

Westben celebrates 'Upper Canada Christmas' pioneer-style BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — A new Westben production that takes listeners into the lives of Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill will be providing a snap shot of these two British, pioneer Canadian sisters’ lives as they settle in the wilds of Upper Canada near Lakefield in the 1830s. Westben’s Upper Canada Christmas will be performed on Nov. 25 and 26 at the Barn, Dec. 2 at Norwood United Church and Dec. 3 at Northminster Church in Peterborough. “Susanna and Catharine, already celebrated authors in England, left us works that give honest perspectives of what life must have been like in this area in the early to mid 1800s,” states Westben’s marketing director, Donna Bennett. “Upper Canada Christmas is a heartwarming narrated concert celebrating a Canadian Christmas pioneer-style, fit for the whole family featuring the

80 voices of the Westben choirs,” she added. Although Catharine Parr Traill and Susanna Moodie shared many of the same experiences, their writings are incredibly different, Bennett noted. “Catharine’s writing is more lyrical in perspective and Susanna’s aiming for a more realistic, unromanticized expression of their experiences.” “Their lives were difficult, courageous and fascinating.” Westben's artistic director, Brian Finley, said he “loves the fact that these stories of Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill happened within kilometres of where we are living now and it is so interesting to think about the contrast where we are now where they were then, their struggle of coming to a new place and keeping alive their traditions." The Westben Festival Chorus gathered for a rehearsal for Upper Canada Christmas . Tickets and information available at www.westPhoto submitted ben.ca .

Entrepreneurs In Action: MOHAWK VEHICLE PROTECTION Can’t scratch the surface with this business

Thomas and Ogwari Brant, cousins from a tight-knit family, sourced out a game changing product and Trenval was on-board to commit the dollars needed to put their plan into motion. The opportunities for growth seem as limitless as their energy levels as they quite literally build their business from the ground up. Construction began two months ago on their 2400 square foot facility at 5965 Old Hwy 2 in Shannonville. The cousins put in long days over many months constructing the home of their new business, Mohawk Vehicle Protection. The workmanship is impeccable. The attention to detail is impressive. Its this drive for excellence that underscores everything they do.

Trenval Business Development Corporation was created in 1987 by the Federal Government to support small business and aspiring entrepreneurs. They grow our local economy by lending funds to small business and managing grant programs. Congratulations to these Trenval clients and successful Entrepreneurs in Action!

Buy a scarf and wrap yourself in courage Belleville – A purple scarf purchased from a Three Oaks fundraiser this month won’t just keep you warm. It will allow you to wrap yourself in courage – and help raise awareness for domestic violence. Since 1983 Three Oaks has been providing safe, emergency shelter to Quinte-area women and their children who are fleeing violence. It is every woman’s fundamental right to live in safety and security in her home and community—free from the threat to violence. Three Oaks provided bed space within the emergency shelter to 156 women and 64 children in the last fiscal year. This past year the various programs that consist of the outreach service program have been busy offering services to over 351 women and 107 children within our community. November is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This year, in addition to the purple scarf campaign, Three Oaks is promoting a Male Allies campaign. Domestic Violence is not just a woman’s issue or an issue that pertains to the victim. Men can be allies in the movement to end domestic violence. Throughout

November Three Oaks staff members will be out in our community recognizing influential men who can put a voice to violence against women. Anyone who would like more information about Three Oaks, how to purchase a scarf, or how to donate is encouraged to contact Kristin Farrell, Training and Education Coordinator at 613-962-1234 ext 307or at publiceducation@bellnet.ca Also, Three Oaks, in partnership with the Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Houses, is calling on all Ontarians to purchase a purple scarf during November, as Woman Abuse Prevention Month is recognized. The effort is part of the fifth-annual Wrapped in Courage campaign. Women shelters and community organizations across the province are engaging with their communities to address the overlooked issue of woman abuse in Ontario. Throughout the month of November, people are asked to show their support by wearing a enough. It takes the commitment and support of an Three Oaks staff members (from left) Amy purple scarf to let women and their children know they entire community to end violence against all women. Rose, Kristin Farrell and Jenn Loner show are not alone. The courage of a woman alone is not

Rebel production storms the Old Church Theatre Quinte West - The Old Church Theatre in Quite West is presenting the one man play “Rebel of Hungerford” this Friday November 24th. Playwright Mark Lesage of Tweed has made a dramatic retelling of one of the events of our fledgling nation’s 1837 Rebellion involving his greatgreat grandfather Pierre Lesage. Pierre’s adventure culminates in his arrest for treason and his acquittal with the help of a young lawyer, John A. MacDonald. “Be forewarned,” said promoters of the play, “this is not an objective historical narration. Pierre will recount his experiences complete with all the sectarian and political prejudices of the age.” Doors open at 7 p.m. and the performance begins at 7:30. Admission $15 in advance $20 at the door. Get tickets A new work by playwright Mark Lesage of Tweed will at www.oldchurch.ca or call Lesley Bonisteel at (613) 848take the stage at the Old Church Theatre Nov. 24. 1411.

Ambulance service shaves urban response times BY JACK EVANS

In spite of a sharp increase in call volumes, the report for Hastings County’s Emergency Services Committee last week for the first nine months of the year shows a decrease in response times in almost all cases. The call volume rose from 24,269 calls for the first nine months of last year to 25,901 this year. The service delivered the following response times with last year’s comparable figure in brackets: Bancroft 4.39 minutes (5.07); North zone excluding Bancroft, 16.28 minutes (16.47) central zone , 13.44 minutes (13.53); south zone401 corridor, 7.14 minutes (7.06) Hastings County total average , 8.04 minutes (9.31.) Mayor Tom Deline asked why Central Hastings is seeing little to no improvement in response times, however. He was told the increase in calls is particularly telling in

that region owing to a lack of ambulances and crews and that it is expected to be addressed in 2018 with the addition of new vehicles. Prince Edward County response time was 8.04 minutes compared to 9.31 for last year. The committee also approved a recommendation to county council for the purchase of six new ambulances as regular replacements for aging vehicles, five for Hastings County and one for Prince Edward, which the Hastings service covers under contract. Total cost is $670,249, which is already included in this year’s budget. Meanwhile, the county has received a letter from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care increasing its allocation for land ambulance services to First Nations communities by up to $285,706. That increase brings total provincial support for the county service up to $7,680,229.

Housing shift will add 14 households tion, the centre was celebrating the paying off of its mortgage last week. Under ministry guidelines, the ministry funding must be directed to another operating component. The committee has recommended its rent supplement and housing allowance programs. These programs provide assistance in the form of $354 per month to 90 households across the county. Community and Human Services staff commented that these programs have been “highly successful in supporting households on the social housing waitlist with high accommodation costs.” They also calculated that they could add 14 more households to the program through to 2024. The committee also passed a recommendation to offer a contract to Bridge Street United Church to manage the required homelessness enumeration for participation in new provincial assistance programs for homelessness. Funding is also covered by the provincial program.

BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County will submit a revised program delivery and fiscal plan to the Ministry of Housing for rent supplement funding under the housing allowance direct delivery program. A recommendation to council for that passed at the Community and Human Services Committee last week. The move follows expiration of an agreement of 10 years standing with Belleville’s Quinte Living Centre. The QLC has been part of the county’s housing and homelessness plan, providing 30 units. The centre has notified the county that it doesn’t want to renew its participation despite a sharp increase in funding from $67,776 to $127,080 per year for a 64-month term. A letter from the QLC states its goal is to phase out subsidized units toward market renters and not be dependent on any government funding. Meanwhile, after 35 years of opera-

Housing seminar draws Hastings County interest BY JACK EVANS

Trenton – The focus was on the homeless and low-income people in terms of housing for a special gathering at the Trenton Legion Hall last Thursday.

More than 100 people attended the event, including a large delegation from Hastings County, including staff, elected members and Warden Rodney Cooney. Special guests were officials from Central Mortgage and Housing and provincial officials involved in public housing programs. Cooney summed up: “There was a lot of interesting information presented and discussed during a full morning.” He said he was particularly interested in one presentation from Taylor Collicott of the Northumberland County HomeShare program, one of several such agencies now spreading across Ontario. The not-for-profit enterprise seeks to assist young women, single or with families who are having problems finding safe and affordable shelter by matching them with senior

women who are living alone and have accommodation to spare. “HomeShare is about creating a mutually beneficial relationship between two people who want to help each other,” Collicott explained to the gathering. Host people are expected to be women aged 55 or over. Young women are expected to share in shelter costs and household costs and chores. The program helps screen all parties involved for mutual protection. Cooney said he found the concept quite interesting and hinted that Hastings county officials will probably be looking into it for the future. Provincial officials also reviewed their “Home for Good” shelter build program which Hastings is already active in, said Cooney, plus other homeless and affordable housing programs. Collicott said the concept for Northumberland County originated with a public health nurse who was a member of the county’s housing committee. That committee applied for a grant from the county for a two-year pilot project which was approved. Now, she said, with only a few months into its first year, they got 60 applications for both women needing shelter and women prepared to share it. She described it as “a good mix.” Of those, 20 are in serious negotiations for an arrangement and six have already been assigned.

Radon is the leading cause of

lung cancer in non-smokers What is radon? Radon is a colourless, odourless and tasteless radioactive gas found naturally in the environment. Radon is released into the air during the natural breakdown of uranium in rocks and soil. Once it is released, radon breaks down into radioactive elements that can attach to dust and other substances in the air we breathe. An estimated 3300 lung cancer deaths in Canada are related to radon each year. Radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. If you smoke, you are at an even higher risk of developing lung cancer if you are exposed to radon. Exposure to radon: You can be exposed to radon through; • Indoor air

o The indoor air can have high levels of radon when it seeps in and builds up in poorly ventilated and enclosed spaces from the soil and rocks around your home • Workplace exposure o Underground workers, such as subway or tunnel workers, may be at high risk of radon exposure The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) recommends that Canadians test their homes for radon and take action to reduce high levels. The age of your home is not a good indicator of how high indoor radon levels could be – the only way to know how much radon is in your home is to test. You can test your home for radon. Visit cancer.ca/prevention or call 1-888-939-3333 for more information on where to ﬁnd radon test kits.

Guild working on hilarious farce for Christmas

Church theatre group presents classic yule show BY JACK EVANS

Westminster United Church Players present a warm, fuzzy start to the holiday season starting this Friday. It is a live stage production of the classic Christmas season motion picture: “It’s a Wonderful Life.” The perennial story about a man who seeks suicide as a way out of financial disaster for his family at the start of the Great Depression, a Scrooge-like land baron and a guardian angel comes to life thanks to a ast dripping with talent and directed by long-time theatre guild participant Pat Gray. Opening Friday, Nov. 24 , and running Saturday, Nov. 25 at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 26 at 2 p.m., then Saturday, Dec.2 at 7:30 and a closing matinee at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 3. The cast spans all ages and draws talent from across the community, not just the church, including four child actors to seniors.

To add romantic reality, the lead players, George Bailey and his wife, are played by a married couple, Adri Boodoosingh, a policy editor at 8 Wing, Trenton and his wife, Heather is a program co-ordinator at Loyalist College. Guardian angel Clarence is played by Chris Thompson while Bob Carter plays the mean Mr. Potter, who owns most of the town. Several actors play multiple roles in a total cast of 23 plus plenty of back stage help. The Westminster Players have performed several shows over the years but this full-length show is one of the most challenging they have done so far. Most of the costumes were loaned by The Belleville Theatre Guild. Tickets are $15 per person, $10 for children, available at the church office on the Wallbridge Loyalist Road just north of Highway 401, telephone (613) 968-4304 or Elizabeth at (613) 8499889 or Julie at (613) 391-9590.

BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - If a good laugh is one of the things on your Christmas wish list, the Belleville Theatre Guild has just to “ticket” for you. Guild players are re-staging the hilarious farce, “Noises Off,” to run Nov. 30 through Dec. 16. This play is considered by many to be the most humorous play-within-a-play farce ever written. It was first put on by the guild quite a few years ago, but is coming back, directed by Dave Henderson and with a cast embracing many of the guild’s most experienced actors, a number of them winners in various categories of Eastern Ontario Drama League awards. This is a complex play, both in the size of the cast and the need to change elaborate sets several times between the three acts. Director Henderson has even suggested that activity might be worthwhile for the audience to actually watch rather than skip out for a coffee or break. “This is a very talented cast,” he commented at a recent rehearsal, “and the play is one of the funniest I have ever seen.”

The plot is a theatre cast is putting on a fictitious play called “Nothing On,” but both on stage and back stage there is conflict, naughtiness and insanely hilarious antics and lines. Because the actors play themselves back stage and their show characters on stage, most are performing dual roles. Written by English playwright Michael Frayn, it was inspired by a true incident when Frayn witnessed a production from a back stage vantage and found the antics of the cast back stage were at least as funny if not moreso than the play itself. He decided he should write a play about his experience. It was later made into a motion picture with a high-powered cast, including Carol Burnett and Christopher Reeves, but the movie was not as successful. Characters include a demanding and sarcastic director, an alcoholic actor and lust-stricken actors and actresses and generous plates of sardines. Cast members are: Moira Nikander Forrester, Wendy Roy, Maija Thompson, Wayne Clark, Lynn Fennell, Rob Lloyd, Heather Barker, Devon Carey and Scott Roodvoets.

For The Love of a Song bids farewell to fans in 2017 Belleville – A Belleville Christmas season tradition for music fans continues on the weekend of Dec. 1 and 2. But, this will be the last time. The cast of For The Love of a Song have been rehearsing for their 2017 performance; the final in the history of the series, says producer and director Susan Walsh. The finals shows take place at the Maranatha Church auditorium on Friday, Dec. 1 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 2 at 2 p.m. The “final farewell” show will include Broadway showstoppers, 40s big band hits, 80s classic rock, a visit to Santa’s workshop and seasonal favourites. Special guests include The Commodores Orchestra and Tawny’s School of Dance. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased in advance at the church (Tuesday to Friday) or by calling 613-962-2062. They’re also available at the door. The show raises funds for Belleville’s Christmas Sharing Program and Adopt-A-Child. “Although we are sad to see it all end, we are so proud of how our shows have supported much needed programs in the City for the past 10 years,” said Walsh. “We love to perform and that is so evident when you see one of our shows. Being able to do something we are so

passionate about and contribute so much to the community at the same time is very rewarding.” “We are sad to say goodbye and have had an awesome musical journey, but sometimes change is good for everyone. These variety shows actually started in the 1990s, but I gave them up after five years due to the incredible amount of work required combined with my full time job workload, and, a desire to devote more time to other musical projects including ‘Harmonie’ and ‘The Cadillacs Showband’.” “When my mother passed away in 2007 she had a dying wish that I bring back the ‘For The Love of a Song’ shows as they had been a huge success in the audiences’ eyes, and, had raised much needed funding for several nonprofit organizations in the city. “Well, it’s been 10 years Mom and I think you would have been so proud of what we’ve accomplished!” Walsh asks that fans who’ve enjoyed the show send comments to the group’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ fortheloveofasong
