Canadian heavyweight champ a small town boy

By Diane Sherman

Sports - Madoc - Dillon Carman is a family man, often seen surrounded by his mother, grandmother and partner, Stephanie King.

He wants to have a big family some day and has a soft spot for his dogs and pet chinchilla.

After winning the Canadian Heavyweight Championship, hobnobbing with George Chuvalo, and the usual photos and interviews, Carman says he went out to eat his favourite double burger “stacked with lots of bacon.� “Then I just went back to the hotel to sleep.� “He likes to be home though. If we can make it back home, that’s where he’d rather be,� Stephanie explained.

King and Carman met in Mississauga and became a couple. She has working professions but says she has dedicated herself to supporting Dillon.

Similarly, Sherri Oswald, his mother, and Bente Barton, grandmother, are in full support of Dillon’s career.

Sherri said he was always athletic, excelling at an early age. “He could control a soccer ball when he was three, and when in T-ball they couldn’t believe his skills; he moved up fast.�

She says he was also good at badminton, basketball and hockey which finally took him to Florida with an offer to play in a professional junior league. “It wasn’t just sports he was good at though,� says Sherri. “He was the regional chess champion in both grades seven and eight.�

Carman left Madoc at the age of 17, finishing high school in Florida while training for hockey. It was there he discovered boxing was his passion. “Ever since I was little I said I would be the best in some sport, a professional; I never knew which sport. I thought it was hockey, but when I started boxing, I knew I’d found where I wanted to be,� Dillon said, often placing his hand on Dillon Carman was born and raised in Madoc. His mother Sherri Oswald, and grandmother Bente Barton, are active supporters of his career but were willing to share some of the his heart. “I’m doing what I love.� more interesting moments from his formative years.

Valdy plays the Tweedsmuir; folk still rocks

Canadian folk music legend Valdy recently played to a full house at the Tweedsmuir Tavern. This was his third visit to Tweed in the past four years.

By Brett Mann

Entertainment - Tweed - Canadian singer-songwriter Valdy (Paul Valdemar Horsdal) is surely one of the best known entertainers to visit Tweed on a semi-regular basis. The British Columbia musician, who lives on Salt Spring Island, has established a firm reputation and following for his song writing and performing with almost 20 albums and numerous single hits. He has won two JUNO awards for Folk Singer of the Year and Folk Entertainer of the Year. As he worked through a sound check prior to

his Tweed gig recently, new owner of the Tweedsmuir Tavern Peter Spratt was busy bringing out extra chairs and tables for the near-overflow crowd.

The appreciative audience responded warmly to a mix of old favourites and new tunes as Valdy played solo, accompanying himself on his 1951 Martin D 28 guitar that bears the scars and scratches of more than half a century’s use. This concert was Valdy’s third visit to Tweed in the past four years. Originally an Ottawa resident, he had lived in Newfoundland and on the west coast of Vancouver Island before settling on Salt Spring Island in the Georgia Straits in 1976. He supported his “musical habit� he reports by working on construction and “making industrial explosives for CIL.� He has been playing music on the road for 44 years. “This is just a three-date tour in Ontario. I did a show in Deep River last night. It was a fund raiser for a Syrian refugee fund.� An ardent champion of social justice and the environment, Valdy’s

songs often have a political connection or implications. “I’m not concerned about the pipelines because the natives will ultimately stop them. They are mounting the correct legal challenges and going through the right moves.

They’re fighting the white man with the white man’s tools. My concern is the erosion of democracy in Canada.

That’s number one. We have an election coming up in another eleven months and we’ll be able to do something.�

Performance touring has its risks. “I’m trying to stay healthy.

I’m quite lucky to be alive; I had a bad accident this year. I fell asleep at the wheel—the first time in forty-four years of touring. So now I have a mission to implore people if they feel tired to please get off the road.� The Nova Scotia accident left Valdy with fractured vertebrae. “I’m doing physio but I haven’t been able to use a chain saw since then. It’s changed my life.�

While this is a solo tour for Valdy, he also performs with other musicians. “I play bass in a band

called Duck Creak. I toured this summer with a jazz piano player and a bassoonist, quite famous.

Her name is Nadina MackieJackson. We toured all summer long and again in October. We played the Kingsville Folk Festival in Kingsville, Ontario, and the Owen Sound Folk Festival.

And we did gigs in Kincardine,

Midland, London—we did the Hughes Room in Toronto and she was the first bassoonist on that stage. We called it ‘Valdy to Vivaldi,’ ‘folk to baroque.’�

Despite the passing of time and his recent medical set-back, Valdy showed few signs of tiring as he entertained the crowd in his bright red sneakers and a

vest with patches reading simply “Ambiguity� and the words “not all those who wander are lost.�

He continues to write songs (“I just wrote a tribute to Stompin’ Tom�) and be active politically. “I still put pen to paper for just causes and events. We’re going to keep touring. We’ll be doing it for a number of years.�

He says he went to Texas to box.

“If you can make it in Texas as a boxer you can go anywhere.”

Seventeen days before the Canadian heavyweight bout, the other contender chose to retire. After only four years fighting professionally Dillon Carman was called up for the big fight.

November 22 he returned to his roots in Madoc at the invitation of the Kiwanis Club who opened their doors for the homecoming. Proceeds of the event were donated to the local food bank, a cause Dillon was pleased to be part of.

Carman received recognition certificates from all levels of government. Deputy-mayor Tom Simpson presented one from the municipality, with a few joking remarks about his young life in Madoc.

MP Daryl Kramp presented a federal document for his success. Kramp, federal member for the region

where Dillon grew up, spoke in the House of Commons to announce Dillon’s championship.

“I included the notes of Hansard so you know you will be remembered in parliamentary records. They will be there long after you and I are gone.”

MPP Todd Smith presented a document from the province and said he would look for Carman’s picture at the former Maple Leaf Stadium where the title fight was held October 25.

Mayor-elect Tom Deline presented on behalf of the Kiwanis Club. He also remembered Dillon’s early days in the village and offered Carman the title of Mr. Madoc Two, after another accomplished athlete, John Ellis, who earned the title after winning many medals in Special Olympics and for his dedication to volunteering.

Council has suggested a sign be added under the name of Madoc/Centre Hastings to recognize Carman’s success and his roots in the village.

Library Homework Club evolving into after-school program for kids

By Sue Dickens

News - Marmora - Comedic and dramatic actress Lily Tomlin once said: “I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.”

And that is just what is happening these days at the Marmora Library Homework Club.

“There’s been more of a shift in the education field away from homework,” noted Wendy Bates, a Kindergarten teacher here, who has volunteered her time for the past nine years to make the Homework Club an activity in which students want to participate each week.

“We started out in the downstairs part of the library with just two kids who came regularly. They came from school with their homework and we worked on it,” she told the Central Hastings News.

“Now we’re trying to change the focus a bit,” she added.

“The last few years I often had kids coming without homework.

The library has lots of resources, with computer programs the library subscribes to, data bases, books and more. We use all of that and as a teacher I have lots of resources and

bring them to share with the kids,” she explained.

“Now it’s more of an after-school program than a homework club.”

The program is still geared to learning and if the students do have homework it is always completed before moving on to a project.

“The children are picking the projects and they involve some sort of investigation so we’re working on our research skills, our problem solving skills our co-operation skills, because we’re collaborating and working together,” said Bates.

Last year the students built a volcano “as part of our inquiry into different chemical reactions.”

This year some of the students are deciding whether to make a model of a sphinx or a pyramid.

“That’s one group. Another group wants to do the “MENTOS and Coke experiment,” a chemical reaction. But this needs to be a science experiment about why MENTOS and Coke react together,” said Bates.

As the club grew more popular more students participated.

At one point Bates had as many as 14 students.

This year she has about six and is hoping more will come to the weekly get together.

“These kids want to be here. It’s very social for them,” commented Bates.

Students as young as those in Grade 1 have enjoyed the club which is open to all elementary school-age children.

“Sports is the big after-school activity for many kids and sports are great but not everyone can afford it or is interested in that so … here they work on their social and collaboration skills.”

For Bates it’s a labour of love.

“I am doing this because my dad was a teacher and I’ve always volunteered. My son’s 19 months old and I want him to have things to do like this when he gets older,” she noted.

When she is not teaching or volunteering Bates is working on her Masters in Early Childhood Education “A lot research you do on higher learning focuses on higher order skills, the skills children will need when they grow up. The jobs they will be doing haven’t even been

Curious residents get lesson in policing

All in favour …

By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - A group of residents gained some insight into the intricacies of police work earlier this week as the Stirling-Rawdon Police Service hosted its first Citizens Police Awareness Forum.

The nearly four-hour session last Monday evening featured presentations by several of the service’s officers as well as a tour of the facility and ample opportunity to pose questions. StirlingRawdon Police Services Chair Tara Dier welcomed the crowd of about 20, which included Mayor Rodney Cooney and incoming councillor Dean Graff, who arrived at the emergency services building on a blustery evening to learn more about the local police service. Explaining that the informational and informal evening was an initiative undertaken by the chief, Dier thanked the participants for their attendance before introducing Police Chief Dario Cecchin.

Cecchin provided an overview of the evening, outlining the various topics to be discussed by the presenting officers and then went on to explain departmental and administrative structures as well as the roles and responsibilities of individuals in the chain.

Sergeant Colin Cook then outlined the many steps involved in the application and selection process and discussed the attributes the country’s police services are looking for as well as the post-hiring training, which includes 12 weeks of police college followed by several months working alongside a senior officer, before a new recruit can work alone. But these days, Cook says, it is also understood that most recruits will not be coming from high school but will arrive after completing a post-secondary program in college or university.

On another topic, Cook also discussed traffic enforcement and the reasons behind it as well as the public’s perception. In response to the commonly asked question of why traffic officers aren’t solving real crimes, Cook points to the fact there are about 600 murders in Canada per year. In the same time there are more than triple the number of vehicular fatalities. And while speeding tickets may be perceived as a nuisance, he says, they do create results that can be measured in a reduction in crashes and ultimately deaths.

Constable Tom Wilson spoke on police use of force and how officers are expected to assess situations and respond immediately on arrival. There are numerous factors to take into account when taking control of or maintaining control of a situation, he says, and provided a short training video as an example.

Constable Jarrett Rutledge discussed issues relating to the provincial and national sex offence registries as well as the gathering of evidence in order to identify an individual involved in a crime.

Specific information that police have at their disposal is not readily available to the public, he explained, but there are reasons why individuals and addresses

The information available to the public, he says, is the number of sex offenders living in a given postal code. There are 136 in the KOK area. Rutledge also provided a brief history lesson on identification, dating back to the days before photography or fingerprints, progressing to the present day and the strength of evidence offered by DNA.

Prior to the station tour, Sergeant Jim Orr also spoke about criminal investigations and the responsibilities of officers to properly gather evidence, including witness statements, without infringing on the rights of the individual. And when the rules aren’t followed to the letter, he says, a case can be overturned or lost as a result.

Immediately following the presentations, about half of those in attendance stayed behind for a tour of the station and cells as well as an explanation of the Intoxilyzer and how it determines a blood alcohol level from a breath sample.

SOUTH EAST LHIN SEEKING PUBLIC INPUT The Minister of Health and Long-Term Care has appointed a Home and Community Care Review Expert Group to begin the important task of creating recommendations to address three important areas of focus across the home and community care sector.

Community-Based Care includes services that support people to live independently, such as meals, transportation, home based-care and social activities. These services ensure better access to care and better value for the health care system.

As one component of our public consultations, the South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) is asking residents across the South East LHIN region, an important question: What is the single most important thing that the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care could do to improve home and community care for you?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, At the recent G20 in Oz, Canada and the others promised to crack down on tax evasion and corruption. Sounded good but back in the real world, we prefer to avoid the tax avoidance part except for small business and those “extreme environmentalist groups.” The too big to charge syndrome kicks in when real money is in sight.

Richard “I am not a crook” Nixon apparently wanted to use the revenue department to get his enemies, but was turned down by the IRS head. The World Bank has blacklisted 250 large corporations under its fraud and corruption policy. Of these 250,

it turns out 117 are Canadian, SNC-Lavalin being the most well known here, yet taxpayers are still doing business with them through our government.

On the corruption scale, our mining companies must be well up there. In British Columbia, the LNG companies are apparently owed more in tax credits than they would have paid in royalties, not counting the infrastructure supplied free by the taxpayer.

In the north, the Yellowknife Giant Mine, having declared bankruptcy a while ago leaving a huge mess of poison behind, is costing the taxpayer a cool billion in cleanup costs to deal

Promises, promises

with the 237,000 tons of arsenic trioxide (enough to kill every human on the planet).

The ongoing costs will entail freezing it in the ground for the next 100 years after which we don’t expect to be around. It will take about 25 years to freeze it all. May I suggest solar panels to provide the electricity?

In the same vein, we have nuclear waste, deadly for a million plus years, possibly being buried next to the water supply for millions of USA and Canadian citizens at the taxpayers’ expense.

Or how about the Mount Polly tailings pond disaster. The same company owns another larger operation with similar structure. Or looming larger still, there are the Alberta tar sands tailings lakes, with again no intent to in any way reduce their toxicity other than to let them leak into the Athabasca as they continue to grow in size. Almost insignificant but closer to home we have the Deloro mine site, costing tens of millions over the years.

Next we have FIPA, the trade deal with China, which have investor rights built in.

When we wake up and try to protect our environment, or working conditions or any of the other laws passed by the three levels of government in this country, investors will be able to sue our backside off for lost “potential profits.” Is this not corruption of the highest order to allow a transfer of sov-

Dear Editor, The democratic process is alive and well. I recently had and the opportunity to campaign for deputy-mayor in the Municipality of Tweed. It was rewarding for me. Meeting so many people and having them take the time to give me their feedback, thoughts and ideas was a meaningful experience for which I thank you.

Many residents commented that there are basic services they expect including fire protection, roads, policing and waste management. Normally there are employees hired to take care of such things and if they are good employees things work well and seldom require elected officials to manage them, although as was pointed out, the politicians often say “Look what we are doing and look what we have,” when the politicians have little to do with day-to-day operation and success.

The message I received from many of you and I am passing on to the new council to consider is that council does not get points for doing what a reasonable person expects. Council’s job is to look forward and find new and better ways to do things

including attracting people and business to the municipality to grow our tax base and thereby keep taxes down. Simply put as many indicated the new council needs a solid plan and strategy for our future.

A key point made by many which needs to be addressed is the lack of local response, night time ambulance service in the Municipality of Tweed. Presently, an ambulance travels up to Tweed from Belleville each day and is available from about 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. when it then returns to Belleville. Ambulance service after 7 p.m. is the issue. There is an ambulance stationed in Madoc 24/7. If the Madoc ambulance is available it then needs time to travel to Tweed and service which is a very large geographical area and then transport the patient to Belleville. If Madoc ambulance is not available then one may be dispatched from Belleville or depending on the location and circumstance from Bancroft. The reality is that at night, for an emergency call, in good weather with the lights and siren on an ambulance from Belleville will take about 20 minutes to get the former Vil-

The example assumes that there is an ambulance available in Belleville and there has not been a major accident on the 401, other highways and or other incidents.

Without an ambulance stationed in the Municipality of Tweed 24/7 about 6,500 lives are currently at risk each evening in the Municipality of Tweed area and council has yet to establish finding a solution a priority!

Council needs to find the funding going forward to protect its residents with ambulance service available locally to meet the needs of its residents 24/7.

Hopefully the new council will take the time to find a solution and address a serious problem.

Syrian refugees and the Harper government Dear Editor, This is an open letter to Daryl Kramp MP. Thousands murdered and millions displaced and yet the best our obstructionist government can do is bomb the country and state they can work with Assad, the bloody dictator who has barrel-bombed his own people and is the root of the uprising.

Canada’s foreign and humanitarian policy is a bloody disgrace, playing to an ostensibly Christian powerbase, which is in reality anything but. Germany and Sweden have accepted thousands of Syrian refugees. Others have overwhelmed neighbouring countries such as Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Italy and Greece, which are less able to support this influx and the doors are now closing.

Canada, with its wealth and wide open spaces …? We have increasing come across as just another greedy and jingoist oil state. This country should be ashamed!

Carl V. Ehrke, Belleville P.S. I might add that our national government brings in a large number of foreigners to provide cheap labour in coffee shops and the like. These people are temporary workers denied eventual citizenship. Refugees apparently need not apply.

The coming CETA litigation boom

Ukraine cock-up

Editorial - This is what former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, subsequently driven from office by mass protests in Kiev, said to German Chancellor Angela Merkel just one year ago, at the start of the crisis. It was recorded by a Lithuanian television crew, eavesdropping on the conversation with a Gwynne Dyer directional mike, at the European Union summit in Vilnius where Yanukovych announced that he was not going to sign an EU-Ukraine trade deal.

“The economic situation in Ukraine is very hard, and we have big difficulties with Moscow,” Yanukovych explained to Merkel in Russian (which they both speak fluently). “I would like you to hear me. I was left alone for three and a half years in very unequal conditions with Russia … one to one.”

The Ukrainian president was not overthrown by a “fascist” plot, as Russian propaganda would have us believe, nor was NATO hoping to make Ukraine a member. (Indeed, NATO had repeatedly told the previous Ukrainian government, which was very pro-Western, that under no circumstances could it ever join the Western alliance.) Exactly one year into the crisis, it’s useful to remember what really happened.

The basic question you have to ask about any international crisis is: conspiracy or cock-up?

The Ukrainian crisis definitely falls into the latter category. Nobody planned it, and nobody wanted it. Here’s how they stumbled into it.

Yanukovych inherited the negotiations for a trade deal with the EU from the previous government when he returned to the presidency in 2010. (He was overthrown by the “Orange Revolution” in 2004, after winning a rigged election, but in 2010 he won narrowly but cleanly.) And he didn’t break off the talks with the EU because that would have alienated half the country: the western, mostly Ukrainian-speaking part.

Yanukovych was a typical post-Soviet political figure, deeply corrupt and almost comically greedy—the presidential palace he lived in on the banks of the Dnieper was so lavish it could have been in the Middle East—but he was a competent politician. Almost all his votes had come from the eastern and southern, mostly Russian-speaking parts of the country, but he knew that he couldn’t simply ignore the west.

On the other hand, he couldn’t ignore Moscow either. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin saw the EU as a stalking horse for NATO, and was trying to persuade Yanukovych to join his own “Eurasian

Economic Union” (EEU) instead. Moreover, Russia had huge economic leverage, since it provided most of Ukraine’s energy and bought half of Ukraine’s exports (mainly coal, steel and heavy industrial goods made in eastern Ukraine).

So for three years Yanukovych temporised, trying to get financial guarantees out of the EU that would make up for the economic punishment Putin would inflict if Ukraine signed the trade treaty. The EU wouldn’t budge: there would be no special help for Ukraine. It would just have to take its punishment, Yanukovych was told, but the trade deal would be good for the country in the long term.

Politicians have to live in the short term, however, and in 2012-2013 Ukrainian exports to Russia fell by half as Putin turned the screws tighter. Those exports mostly provided income for people in industrial eastern Ukraine, i.e. Yanukovych’s own supporters. The EU had left him “alone for three and a half years in very unequal conditions with Russia … one to one”— so in late 2013 he made his choice: break off the EU talks, and sign up with Putin’s EEU instead.

Did Yanukovych foresee that there would be big demonstrations against him in Kiev, where people had pinned their hopes on association with the EU? Of course he did, but he probably didn’t foresee that the protests would be fuelled by the hamfisted resort to violence by his own officials. He certainly didn’t foresee that he would ultimately be overthrown—nor did Putin, who had put him in that impossible position.

All the subsequent escalations of the conflict in Ukraine—the Russian annexation of Crimea, the pro-Moscow revolts in the two eastern provinces with the largest ethnic Russian minorities, the direct Russian military intervention that saved those revolts from collapse last August—have been driven by Putin’s determination to reverse his original error.

If Ukraine cannot be brought back into Moscow’s sphere of influence, then Putin’s strategy is to neutralise and paralyse it by maintaining a permanent “frozen conflict” in the east. In coldly rational terms, Ukraine’s best strategy now would be to abandon those two provinces, Donetsk and Luhansk, which are basically open-air industrial museums, and leave it to Russia to subsidise them instead.

But it’s not going to do that, because sovereign states never give up territory voluntarily.

Realistically, therefore, Kiev’s best option is to strengthen the current ceasefire and let the front lines congeal and stabilise into de facto borders, while maintaining its legal claim to the two provinces. It remains to be seen if Moscow will even let that happen.

Editorial - After five years of negotiations, Canada and the European Union announced on September 26, 2014, that the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) had been finalized. For the first time since negotiations began, the official text was also released, finally giving citizens on both sides of the Atlantic a look at the complete agreement, which faces growing opposition—particularly in Europe—centred on concerns about CETA’s investment protection rules.

These protections, similar to the controversial Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), are given teeth by an investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism which allows foreign investors to seek unlimited financial compensation before international tribunals for government measures that they believe interfere with their right to profit.

More than a dozen organizations in Europe and Canada this week jointly released the first comprehensive analysis of CETA’s investment protections in a new report, Trading Away Democracy: How CETA’s investment protection rules threaten the public good in Canada and the EU. The report warns that CETA’s investment chapter—which in significant ways provides investors with even greater rights than exist under NAFTA—could “unleash a corporate litigation boom against Canada, the EU and individual EU member states, and could dangerously thwart government efforts to protect citizens and the environment.”

For Canada, which has already been sued 35 times under NAFTA and has paid damages to foreign investors totalling C$171.5 million and is facing billions more in current challenges, the report points to CETA’s expansive new corporate rights in the financial sector.

“The risks for Canada of being sued by banks, insurers and holding companies will increase significantly with CETA,” the report found, pointing to high levels of European investment in these sectors. “Also, most investment is coming to Canada from exactly those EU countries where investors are notorious claimants in investor-state disputes: the Netherlands and the UK.” The report also cautions that European investors—which account for a quarter of all FDI into Canada—are the most frequent users of ISDS globally. Of the 568 known cases of investorstate challenges, European-based investors have launched 299 of them, or over half of all known suits. U.S. investors account for an additional 127 cases. In other words, if CETA is ratified Canada

will have investor protection rights agreements with countries that account for three-quarters of all ISDS challenges.

Trading Away Democracy warns that Europe is also taking a major risk with CETA, finding that regulations in the mining and oil and gas sectors—where Canadian investment in Europe is significant—are at particular risk of challenge by Canadian-based mining corporations. More than one-third of ISDS cases worldwide are related to mining, oil and gas projects, and Canadian mining companies—which have a global reputation as “far and away the worst offenders in environmental, human rights and other abuses around the world”—are already engaged in a number of controversial projects in the EU that are facing stiff opposition from local residents and environmentalists.

Also of significance to Europeans concerned about the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) currently being negotiated between the European Union and the United States is the finding that CETA will act as a Trojan horse in Europe for U.S. multinational corporations with subsidiaries in Canada. These corporations will be able to use their “substantial business interests” to launch challenges against EU regulations even if public pressure in Europe results in similar protections being excluded from TTIP. This is of particular concern for Europeans given the high level of foreign ownership in the Canadian economy, where almost 40 per cent of all large enterprises are foreign owned and almost 60 per cent of annual foreign investment in Canada from 1985 to 2014 was from the U.S. CETA would also allow Canadian corporations with a presence in Europe, such as Bombardier, and European corporations with Canadian arms, including Shell and BP, to sue their own governments over measures that interfere with their profits.

Increasing opposition to ISDS has been met by the Canadian government and European Commission with a propaganda drive focused on the cosmetic reforms to the investment chapter in the proposed agreement, which the report argues will provide little meaningful protection from abuse by investors. With CETA being presented as a fait accompli, subject to minor adjustments during the legal review that is expected to take most of 2015 to complete, the report concludes by calling on legislators in Canada, the EU and European member states to reject any CETA text which includes investor-state arbitration.

Not the Musketeers you had in mind

By Richard Turtle

Entertainment - Stirling - So who were these protectors of the queen and why were the so-called Musketeers better known for their swordsman-

ship than their marksmanship?

And how many were there?

Exactly?

If you ask Ken MacDougall at this time of year, the answers are bound to generate a few

with the early response to the show as well as ticket sales for upcoming performances with Managing Director David Vanderlip noting that opening weekend crowds were very encouraging as the annual production has become a family tradition for many. House Manager Kim Whiteman agrees, adding that for nearly 20 years the Panto has been attracting new patrons to the theatre and each year audiences have continued to grow. This is true of both the family version and the naughty version, she says, with many familiar faces returning year after year along with the addition of new school groups and others.

The same is true of the actors and crew, with many members returning to familiar territory. Debbie Collins is also back on the Stirling stage, this time as Marion the Maid, and musicians Scott Christian and Freddy Vette provide their expertise from the pit.

There’s plenty of swordplay and song and dance, sometimes all at once, and the latest rendition of If I Should Ever Lose My Job, offers yet another new twist.

The set and costumes are also impressive. And a bit cheesy where required.

And on the opening weekend, special guest Santa Claus made an appearance following a pair of matinee shows. As cast members signed autographs in the Eugene Burrell Hall, another lineup formed in Cast members of this year’s panto The Three Musketeers, join Santa Claus front of the jolly old elf, who found a and audience member Jessica Gougeon for a photograph after the first comfortable chair beside a Christmas tree. matinee performance.

good laughs. MacDougall is back as this year’s writer/ director of The Stirling Festival Theatre’s annual Panto that opened last weekend, taking all the appropriate jabs at a familiar tale and offering a slightly different perspective on the characters we thought we knew.

The Alexandre Dumas Musketeers, Aramis, Athos and Porthos, joined by d’Artagnan, are replaced in the MacDougall version by their somewhat sillier counterparts, Ajax, Oshawa and Whitby (played by Amir Haidar, J.P.

Baldwin and Stefne Mercedes) who form a partnership with newcomer d’Arlington, played

by Aryana Naddelin. They are charged with protecting a rather disturbing Queen Milady Du Winter (Arthur Wright) as she faces the wrath of the evil Count Roquefort (Michael Hogeveen). And Roquefort, a cross between Sesame Street’s The Count and any character played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, always exits with the promise, “I’ll be back.”

And that is not a rumour.

Local NDP organizing for federal election

By Diane Sherman

News - Madoc - A small but dedicated group of New Democratic Party supporters met in Madoc at the library Sunday afternoon, November 23, for a “founding meeting” to establish an executive body and begin the search for a suitable candidate in the riding of Hastings, Lennox and Addington.

It is a large riding extending from Belleville, north of Highway 401, to the north of Hastings County, southeast to Amherst Island, and north, past Weslemkoon Lake to the top of the county of Lennox and Addington.

Organizing members Kathee Hutcheon and Avis Price led the meeting to establish the New Democratic Party Electoral District Association.

Hutcheon said the executive should be representative of all areas.

“We are hoping to have members step forward to fill positions as we organize, of course, we must follow the equal opportunity policy in recruitment.”

Betty Dannon, a former union president, was elected president of the committee, with Eric DePoe, from Yarker, as treasurer. A secretary was also assigned.

The association will continue to seek out a vice-president and members at large over the next few weeks.

The purpose of the association is to nominate a candidate for the NDP and conduct a campaign to elect the candidate. Members will support and promote the principles of the party through education and organization and provide a forum for participation in the development of party policy on federal issues and party government.

Those interested in this endeavour are invited to contact Kathee Hutcheon, Lennox and Addington, by email at <eehtak@kos.net>, or Avis Price, Hastings County, at <avisprice@xplornet.com>.

New location, new options for CHSN

By Diane Sherman

News - Madoc - Having all their services under one roof has been a goal for the managing staff and board of directors of Central Hastings Support Network.

The community service agency has operated for years from the third floor of 108 Russell Street, with their food bank facility in the village core near the Madoc Village market square, and their transit vehicles parked in a parking lot near the office.

The move to 151 St. Lawrence Street East was a decision long-debated by the nine-member board of directors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Purchasing the old medical centre was a serious step for us,â&#x20AC;? said Chairman After relocating in the spring, the Central Hastings Support Network was ready to announce their of- Curt Brinkman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Renovating the building ficial opening at their new location in the old medical centre building, 151 St. Lawrence Street East. and getting tenants to help with costs was Cutting the ribbon are Sally Gale, Jean McDonnell, Bob Hadley, Curt Brinkman, Tom Simpson, Tom the next challenge.â&#x20AC;?

renovations continued over the next few months until November 18 was deemed a suitable time to announce the official opening, unveil a new logo and thank all those who volunteered their time and talents.

Director Jean McDonnell thanked Bob Hadley for his role as project manager, â&#x20AC;&#x153;showing up day after day to get the work done.â&#x20AC;? The list was long including teacher Brad Olsen and his high school students of the renovations and restoration class, Jim Beatty, Hazel Gill, Chris Barcier, Ron Dafoe, Doug Parks and Bev Brinkman, who, McDonnell said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;came to my rescue when I was overwhelmed.â&#x20AC;?

Others were honoured for their contribution of time, money and/or products: Joanne Bacon, Brian Blakely, Gerard Forestell, Roy Heard, Keith Hill, Collin Maynard, Mike Maynard, John

McDonnell, Brian Robinson, Dale Smith, Mary Stewart, Scott Trotter, David Redcliffe, Jim Duguid, and Ellen Wilson.

The building is now home to Community Learning Alternatives, and satellite offices for the Community Advocacy and Legal Centre and Youth Habitation Quinte.

CHSN offers transit services throughout Comfort Country, with three vehicles on the road, including handicapped service. It has a volunteer driver program, community kitchen, a volunteer tax filing service, and the food bank.

McDonnell says there are still offices available for rent to other community services. She, and the board are hoping the agency can be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hubâ&#x20AC;? of resources for residents of all walks of life.

Snowy owl sighted in Centre Hastings

By Margriet Kitchen

News - Marmora - Last Saturday, a large male snowy owl was spotted along Highway 14 between Marmora and Stirling. Resting comfortably on top of a utilities pole, he was quite unconcerned by the people stopping to have a look and snap a few pictures. The almost pure

white plumage with just a bit of dark barring, identified him as a mature male.

A rounded head, no â&#x20AC;&#x153;earsâ&#x20AC;? as commonly seen on other more familiar owls, and thickly feathered legs, with rather small golden eyes, all helped with identifying this fellow.

After looking down on the lesser

mortals for quite a time, he suddenly swooped downward and out across the field. A graceful, very large wingspan, and totally silent glide were the hallmark of this beautiful bird.

These birds of prey hunt during the daytime, and the telephone pole and open farm field offered the perfect location for

finding mice and other small animals.

The average adult snowy owl may grow to 65 centimetres tall with a wingspan of around 140 centimetres.

Snowy owls, however, can be smaller than this, or can grow to more than 75 centimetres in height.

The snowy owl has been pushing its

traditional territory to more southerly Ontario regions in recent years, from its traditional home within the Arctic Circle. Sometimes known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great White Owlâ&#x20AC;? or Arctic Owl, this bird is the largest of the North American Owl family and is the provincial bird of the province of Quebec.

Voices an entertaining and enlightening look at aging

A recent re-staging of Voices by Don Herbertson at the Marble Arts Centre drew a sizeable and enthusiastic audience. Here the cast lead a rendition of an anthem to “Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting” to the tune of My Favourite Things.

By Brett Mann

News - Actinolite - “You don’t stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.” This wise observation was one of many that peppered a second performance of Voices at the Marble Arts Centre recently.

Voices, the theatrical creation of Tweed and Area Arts Council Co-Chair Don Herbertson, is a “work in progress” according to program notes. A second performance of the work was recently re-staged with the performers featured in the original cast: Jennifer Bagshaw, Don DeGenova, Jane Foster, Pat McMurtry and Brian Wallace.

Voices is not a conventional

play, but a reading of the compiled memories of residents of Moira Place Long-Term-Care Facility. Assisted by 20 Moira Place volunteers, Herbertson collected the written and recorded recollections of residents who wished to participate.

“I didn’t change any of the words of the residents,” he notes, “but I was trying to make it as theatrical as possible. I like the way it goes from humour to pathos.”

The idea for Voices came from a similar class project when Mr. Herbertson was a teacher. “Being a senior myself, I know seniors have got a lot to say.”

The seniors’ observations are often cloaked in wry humour: “I was taught to respect my seniors

but they’re just getting harder to find,” said DeGenova who gave an animated and up-beat reading of his material. As suits the authenticity of the project, the actors (actually “readers”) read their parts from printed scripts throughout, sometimes accompanied by recorded music soundtracks and pictures on an overhead TV monitor. As at the initial performance, technical difficulties plagued the sound system. The readers this time dispensed with portable microphones and could be heard quite clearly, unamplified. The pace of the performance was appropriately laid-back and meditative.

Director Roely DeVries reshaped Herbertson’s compiled

“How did we survive in a world without seat belts or childproof bottle caps or cell phones?” wonder the seniors, many born in surrounding regions of Hastings County and Tweed itself. They report themselves suffering from “furniture disease—when your chest falls into your drawers.” As with the debut show, the audience joined heartily in singing an anthem to “Maalox and nose drops,

and needles for knitting …” to the melody of My Favourite Things.

The seniors’ voices concluded with five pieces of advice: be positive—we can choose how we react to things; be kind to those around you; be thankful in all things, thankful people are joyful people; let go of the past and forgive, and finally, reach for something higher than yourself.

Particularly poignant are the contrasts between the remembered youthful memories of Canada in the early-to-mid twentieth century and the world and culture of the present day.

Lions to take over Water Buffalo Fest

By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - The Stirling and District Lions Club will be taking over the annual Water Buffalo Festival after its most profitable year and the previous Business Improvement Association (BIA) organizers are more than happy to hand over the reins.

Stirling BIA representative Marlene Braun attended the most recent meeting of the club, presenting them with a cheque for $1,000 for their involvement this year and officially passing the torch to the new event organizers. “You’re taking over at a lucky time,” Braun noted, referring to the fact 2015 will mark the local

food festival’s seventh year and follows a 2014 edition that proved to be the most successful to date.

“It was successful for all of us,” club President Lin Clarke said, adding the Lions don’t intend to make any significant changes, planning instead to follow much the same formula as in the past.

The Stirling-Rawdon Water Buffalo Food Festival is held annually in September on a closed off section of Mill Street as well as in the parking lot across the covered bridge. Each year area chefs are invited to participate, offering dishes prepared with local ingredients including water buffalo meat and cheese produced by the Ontario

Water Buffalo Company north of the village.

The event has also endured wind and rain and power outages in the past and organizers are hopeful that luck is about to change. But crowds have continued to show their support despite the obstacles created by Mother Nature and the Stirling and District Lions Club is looking forward to the years ahead.

Along with the servings of appetizers, entrees and desserts, the annual celebration of local food has also regularly featured a few four-legged special guests from the farm. Water buffalo are common livestock in other parts of the world

but the Ontario Water Buffalo Company, owned and operated by Lori Smith and Martin Littkemann, became one of the first such farms in Canada. The couple has attracted significant attention over the past decade, granting media interviews and appearing in magazines and on television as well as organizing farm tours and, most recently, opening a store

on the property stocked with local food products.

The food festival has attracted thousands of visitors to the village, some travelling several hours to attend, and there is much involved in the planning and preparation. But, Clarke says, with the support of the community and past organizers the future looks bright for the annual event.

Stirling BIA representative Marlene Braun presents members of the Stirling and District Lions Club with a cheque for $1,000 from proceeds of the Stirling-Rawdon Water Buffalo Food Festival. Also pictured are (from left) Deb Brown, Lin Clarke and Kenn Deck.

Bus crash slows traffic Emergency crews temporarily closed a lane of traffic Monday night after a school bus went off the road north of the village of Stirling on Highway 14 shortly before 6 p.m. Few details were immediately available but Police Chief Dario Cecchin said no children were aboard at the time.

Canadian history as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the highest calibre of gossipâ&#x20AC;?

By Brett Mann

of John A. [Macdonald] awaits publication. His twelve published titles include Cold War, dealing with the 1972 Canada-Soviet Union hockey series, described in reviews as â&#x20AC;&#x153;graceful, involving and fun to read.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just dress up historical research in period costume,â&#x20AC;? noted MacSkimming. The process of transforming historical research into historical fiction requires appealing characters and language, human significance and â&#x20AC;&#x153;the fundamental, essential ingredient is that the writer must feel passionately about his characters. You want to give the feeling of what it would be like to sit down with the characters.â&#x20AC;?

Three tasks face the writer says MacSkimming: they must read, they must travel, and they must find a â&#x20AC;&#x153;narrative voiceâ&#x20AC;? to tell their story, someone who is â&#x20AC;&#x153;credible, reliable, honest, candid and intimate.â&#x20AC;? For Macdonald MacSkimming chose Macdonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal

secretary Joseph Pope who â&#x20AC;&#x153;was with John A. every waking moment. I could count on Pope to be there.â&#x20AC;?

Anticipating a question about his choice of historical subjects, MacSkimming explains â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why Macdonald and Laurier? Both were rich, complex individuals who transformed themselves from humble origins to the top job. Both were important in forming Canada.â&#x20AC;? Interwoven with readings from his recent works, MacSkimming described the process of writing historical fiction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to immerse yourself in the subject and period. I know a whole lot of things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m never going to use in a novel.â&#x20AC;? Surveying source material, MacSkimming had particular regard for Canadian historian Donald Creightonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works on John A. Macdonald and The Private Capital by Sandra Gwyn, subtitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ambition and love in the age of Macdonald and Laurier.â&#x20AC;?

MacSkimming noted that Gwynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book is â&#x20AC;&#x153;tremendous, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the highest 8 p.m. calibre of gossip.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Girl Guides seeking support during fund raising for Alberta trip

News - Marmora - Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a community dinner, a craft show, selling poinsettias or holding bottle drives, the Marmora Girl Guides is working hard to raise funds for a trip to Alberta in 2015.

In an appeal to the community and to parents Guide leader Barb Davies, is hoping to inspire moms and dads of Guiders and residents in the area to support this group as they come up to their â&#x20AC;&#x153;crunchâ&#x20AC;? period of fund raising.

In a recent letter to the Girl Guidesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; parents, Davies wrote why she believes in the trip so much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a fantastic opportunity for all trip members and should be taken advantage of. We will be getting together with other Girl Guide members in Alberta and British Columbia. We will get to see things we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to see otherwise.â&#x20AC;?

The girls are working hard to make their dream come true. They just need a little more help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fun getting ready for the trip but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of hard work too,â&#x20AC;? Davies said.

She hopes her letter and her appeal through this news article will inspire the girls and their families to help make the trip a reality.

And Barb is enthusiastic about the trip and talked about what the Marmora Girl Guides do on a regular basis.

At the moment there are five Sparks, eight Brownies, nine Girl Guides and five Pathfinders in the organization.

There are three leaders including Tara Stewart, whose camp name is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sunflowerâ&#x20AC;? and she helps with the Girl Guides and the Pathfinders. There is also Shannon Alford, whose camp name is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cardinalâ&#x20AC;? and she leads the Brownies, and last

but not least, Barb Davies, whose camp name is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Butterflyâ&#x20AC;? and she leads the Sparks, Girl Guides and the Pathfinders.

And all three leaders do their best to make sure the girls have fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What they work on is so vast. The toughest question I am asked is what do they do? It is easier to tell you what they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do. It is incredible what we do,â&#x20AC;?

Davies said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each level has their own set of badges they have to work on,â&#x20AC;? she explained.

From camping at Tipperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family Campground in Tweed, to doing a â&#x20AC;&#x153;walkaroundâ&#x20AC;? picking up garbage, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because they get a kick out of it. â&#x20AC;Ś go figure and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helping the communityâ&#x20AC;? to planting trees in the north end at the boat launch at Marmora to creating a garden, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all part of Guiding for the girls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of our Guide laws is sharing in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sisterhood of Guidingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and I find that is the best part, just getting together with girls and having a really good time,â&#x20AC;? said Davies.

So for her and the girls the trip to Alberta is just one more way to do all of that and more.

The cost is estimated to be $35,000.

So far the group has raised about $8,000.

Three more fund-raising opportunities are planned and Davies hopes support will help put them into the black as they try to raise the remainder of the money.

The first is a turkey dinner at the Free Methodist Church (November 30), the second is participation in the Christmas parade (Saturday December 6, at 2 p.m.) and the third is the sale of cookies and a raffle (possibly a craft show too) at Snofest on January 31.

The Marmora Girl Guides meets every Tuesday at the arena from 6:30 until

She noted that any donations from the Memory Boards go toward adding more lights in the park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are working towards

A tree all lit up in red lights is also new this year, supporting the troops. A new stone with a plaque is beside the tree.

Singers will entertain in the park and there will be hot chocolate and TimBits to keep everyone warm and cheerful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes lots of organizing,â&#x20AC;?

QHC’s new cancer-fighting device gets under the skin finally to starting treatments with a portacath.

The presentation was to encourage donations so QHC can continue making ground with the latest radiology technology.

Polanski said the hospital organization has made incredible

By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - It’s a little device, but it’s making a big difference in the way cancer is treated at Quinte Health Care.

It’s called a portacath and the hospital organization’s chief radiologist calls it “a game changer” as it allows patients to receive chemotherapy treatments directly to the heart.

The device is implanted inside the skin of patients identified as needing at least nine months of chemotherapy treatments. It’s seen as a breakthrough because it allows patients to receive chemotherapy without having to receive injections through veins, which take a toll on the body.

The device is about the size of a coin and it distributes chemotherapy medication from a soft tiny capsule, that’s placed directly onto the heart. It’s attached to a long tube that can also be used to inject medication or draw blood needed for tests.

Dr. Annette Polanski calls it “magic” for its ability to treat cancer patients in a more direct way. Many cancer patients get so many shots through their veins over years that their veins wear down, making the chemotherapy less effective.

With a portacath “you get better bang for your buck,” she said.

“If you can deliver drugs right to the system that delivers it to the rest of the your body, i.e. the heart … that’s your best shot.”

QHC has had access to this tool for 18 months, Polanski said. During that time, it’s been used on more than 50 patients.

She believes it’s making immediate results.

“We’re seeing less complications, less vein scaring, less trips for line changes or damage,” she said.

Dr. Nick Gambarotta, a member of QHCs Diagnostic Radiology team, added that the portacath leads to “better quality of life.”

“Patients with other lines can’t

get them wet, so they can’t go to the pool, they can’t go the lake.

With a portacath, it’s literally under your skin. You can dive into a lake and go for a swim; the water can’t get to it.”

Polanski says receiving treatment through a portacath is far less painful than receiving chemotherapy through injections.

The device is implanted in the patient while they undergo what health care workers call “conscious sedation.” Essentially that means they’re given medication so their nerves don’t feel any pain, but they’re conscious enough that they can communicate with doctors. The procedure causes a one-and-a-half inch scar, Polanski said, but that will heal in time.

In the end, it causes far more joy than pain for patients, she said. She added that her office has celebrations with patients who get the portacath removed when

their treatment period is over.

“I put them in and I help to take them out. I often do a happy hug dance with them before we take out the portacath.

“We’ll remove it and I’ll show it to them and often they’ll bring it home as a souvenir because this has been their best friend. It has allowed them to be treated and have their cancer melted.”

The portacath was just one tool talked about on Wednesday, November 19, when Polanski and her team gave a presentation at the Travelodge Inn to guests at a Belleville General Hospital Foundation luncheon.

There, she, Gambarotta, Dr. Susan James and Dr. Jess Biederman gave a presentation on what a typical breast cancer patient’s journey looks like, starting from her first appointment with QHC’s Mammography centre in Trenton, to the Nuclear Medicine department to the MRI department and

“This community now has access to non-operation operations,” Polanski said. “We’ve saved a lot of sick people who are too sick to go to the operating room.”

Colts stickhandle around Bulls; extend losing streak to five games

By Stephen Petrick

and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll address our group tomorrow.

You can bang and crash, but that gets old quick.â&#x20AC;?

This week, the Bulls are simply focusing on putting a bad stretch behind them and getting ready to play a tough road trip that, if not successful, could make them lose ground in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Bulls head to Niagara on Friday to play the IceDogs (6-16-0-0), then to Mississauga on Saturday to play the Steelheads (9-11-1-0). Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll then cross the United States border on Sunday to play the Erie Otters, who lead the OHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Western Conference with a 19-30-1 record. (However, the Otters will be without star forward Connor McDavid who is out until at least Christmas with a hand injury.)

The Bulls head into the weekend still in second place in the OHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s East Division, and as the third-seeded team in the Eastern Conference play-off standings

with a 12-10-1-1 record.

But the gap between them and those behind them is a lot narrower now. The Bulls got out to a great start this year, winning 11 of their first 15 games. But that hot start, Burnett feels, prompted opponents to take them seriously and now the team has to play much better each night if they are to win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The past couple [of] weeks havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been great,â&#x20AC;? Burnett acknowledged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when you win 11 of your first 15 games expectations get a little bit silly and we have to manage those expectations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do we think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a first-place club?

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if that was fair or realistic, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better than we were tonight. If this is the bottom weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got lots of work ahead of us and we better decide quickly that we have to make things right.â&#x20AC;?

Burnett acknowledged that the team has to be better on special teams and that was evident on Sunday. Fifteen minutes into the game, Barrie led 3 - 0 on three power-play goals.

The Bulls gave up another four goals in the second period (one of them a shorthanded goal) and two more in the third, both of which were powerplay goals.

It was such a bad night that goaltender Charlie Graham started the game for Belleville, was pulled after the fifth goal in the second period, and returned in the third period, after his replacement Connor Hicks had given up two goals.

On Saturday, Hicks was better, stopping 32 of 35 shots he faced, but the Bulls still lost, because of a late Owen Sound comeback. The Bulls had leads

of 1 - 0 and 2 - 1 in the game, but the Attack tied the game and scored the game winner within a four-minute span of the third period.

On Friday, the Bulls attempted a spirited comeback of their own but came up short, against the East Division leading

Generals.

Oshawa led 3 - 0 and 5 - 2 before two goals by Brandon Saigeon and Alex Yuill brought Belleville to within a goal late in the third period. But an emptynet goal by Oshawa with 18 seconds left ensured a win for the home team.

Sports - Belleville - George Burnett saw no need to knock over chairs, throw water bottles or scream at the top of his lungs in the dressing room on Sunday night.

As a veteran Ontario Hockey League coach and general manager, he knew having his players just acknowledge the final score following a dismal home game would be punishment enough.

The Belleville Bulls lost 9 - 3 to the Barrie Colts at the Yardmen Arena on Sunday. It was their most lopsided loss of the season and it extended the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s losing streak to five games. The Bulls lost 3 - 2 to the Owen Sound Attack at home a night earlier and 6 - 4 to the Oshawa Generals on the road on Friday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there needs to be a lot said tonight,â&#x20AC;? said Burnett calmly, following the Sunday game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a chance to think about it

Peewee Hawks tie Frontenac in a Quinte Red Devils fast, high scoring game

By Brett Mann

Sports - Tweed - The Peewee Hawks are having â&#x20AC;&#x153;not too badâ&#x20AC;? a season says Manager Rasa MacIver, following a 6 - 6 tie game with the Frontenac Flyers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been hot and cold,â&#x20AC;? notes MacIver whose daughter Jilly plays defence for the Hawks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just came back from the Silver Stick tournament and that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too good. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to stay disciplined and we have to believe,â&#x20AC;? adds MacIver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll turn around by the time of the play-offs.â&#x20AC;? Playoffs begin on January 4.

The Frontenac game was exciting and hotly contested in a tight competition that held the scoring to a one-goal difference throughout.

The Hawks took four penalties for a total of 12 minutes including a four-minute head-contact penalty to the Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kieran Baker in the last few minutes of the game. The Flyers used the extra player advantage to score the tying goal in the last minute of play. Referee Justin Punchard and linesman Curtis Brant officiated closely, rigorously calling offside plays.

The Flyers drew first blood with a goal near the nine-minute mark of the first period, answered by a goal by Bryson Hunt for the Hawks a few minutes later. As the score see-sawed back and forth, other Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goals were scored by

Ethan Broek, twice, with assists

by Carter McKitchan and Zane Prance on his first and by Kieran Baker and Deegan Daisley on the second. Daisley hit the Flyers net in the second period with assists from Ethan Broek and Louie Abrams. Broek added another goal a minute later with an assist by Jilly MacIver. The Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final goal was scored by Carter McKitchan midway through the third period with an assist from Zane Prance.

The Hawks outdid the Flyers in

accumulating penalties with a total of four for 12 minutes compared to two two-minute penalties for the Flyers. Both teams were physically aggressive and one Flyer player apparently got the wind knocked out of him and produced some anxious moments in the stands as he lay prone on the ice for several minutes. The Peewee C Hawks meet the Ennismore Eagles at the Tweed-Hungerford Community Centre on Friday, November 28, at 7 p.m.

Sports - The Bonn Law Quinte Red Devils Minor Atom Team picked up two more wins in league play this weekend.

On Saturday, they hosted the Clarington Toros and jumped out to a quick two-goal lead in the first period on goals from Spencer Cranley and Jack Dever.

The Toros fought back scoring three unanswered goals in the second period, but the Devils did not give up and Nick Oke tied the game early in the third period. Cal Uens fired home the game winner with two minutes left

in the game. Adding helpers on the goals was Christopher Brydges (2), Ben Danford and Ethan Quick. Jacob Brown was solid in net to earn the win.

On Sunday, the Devils were in Ajax to take on the Raiders. Tucker McKichan made several highlight reel saves as his team skated to a 4 - 1 win. Cal Uens had a hat trick in the game and Ben Lynch added a goal, while Ben Smith, Josh Cunningham, Ethan Osborne, Lukas Hannah and Ethan Osborne all chipped in with assists.

News - Quinte West - The Trenton Woodlot Conference celebrated its 25th anniversary at the Knights of Columbus Hall on November 21.

“It’s quite remarkable,” said Jim Pedersen from the Hastings Stewardship Council. “We appreciate the sup-

Larry McTaggert from the Bancroft Area Forest Industry Association added, “Trees are amazing. They have been here as long as the planet.”

“Don’t believe everything you hear,” he said. “Sometimes you can find real evidence in the dates on headstones in old graveyards.”

Beresford-Kroeger said she is interested in making global changes to save our planet, including treasuring

CP Holiday Train stops in region November 29

Events - Quinte-area families will have another opportunity to get into the Christmas spirit on Saturday, November 29. And all they have to do is visit some designated train track locations in their community.

The CP Holiday Train is making stops in Belleville, Quinte West and Brighton on that day.

It first stops in Belleville at 10 a.m. at Mile 91, west of the storage facility on Keegan Parkway.

That’s right behind Belleville General Hospital and along Ki-

wanis Bayshore Park.

It then stops in Trenton at 11:15 a.m. at RCAF County Road 21, on the south side of the railway crossing.

Its next stop is in Brighton at 12:30 p.m. along Prince Edward Street, east of the railway crossing.

The CP Holiday Train has been called North America’s longest rolling food bank fund raiser and since it started in 1999, it has raised close to $9.5 million and has generated 3.3 million pounds

of food for local food banks.

Those who attend are encouraged to bring donations for their local food banks.

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

contaminated water. She looks to the trees of Canada.

“You have marvellous forests,” she said.

She said we have to plant trees to protect our forests.

“If you want land for your children and grandchildren, look after your forests,” she added. “They are green machines, farmers of the sun, banking carbon.”

She said we have to get back the great trees. The black walnut is one of them, as well as the magnolia, the magical tree of the Hurons which has anti-inflammatory properties.

She said there are 157 areas in the ocean that are highly toxic, each the size of New Jersey. “These are graveyards,” she said. “We will not allow this to happen to our forests.”

She said the cause of ebola is cutting down of forest, taking away the trees that monkeys used which then spread the disease.

Diana recalled fondly the one huge oak in Ireland still standing that was planted by the last King of Ireland and is now protected by a big, black bull that no one dares to pass.

“I am a descendant of the Druids,” she admitted. “I was given their ancient ways of thinking.”

The burr oak is another of the local trees that need to be preserved. It was the basis of bannock for the natives who also ground the acorns into flour.

It is drought resistant.

The shag bark hickory was once used to make nut milk for cooking. The aboriginals who used it did not have Alzheimer’s or other aging diseases of the brain. “If you eat these nuts you will not have these diseases,” she said. “Eat a few nuts a day.”

Black walnut was a medicinal tree for First Nations. It has an acid that has been used in treatment of cancers, by detoxifying the cells. She said to rub the crushed leaves on your arm to protect from breast cancer.

“Basswoods are the most important tree in your forest,” she added. “It makes poor wood but the blossoms feed all the pollinators. The crops depend on it. It will bump up your harvest by 35 per cent.”

She said the flowers are healing and helpful for sleep. It also makes a greenish honey, the best in the world.

Diana urged woodlot owners to be her ambassadors for the trees and to “hold hands across Canada.”

Events - On December 5 and 6 the Christmas story will come to life at Quinte Alliance Church as dozens of volunteers, dressed in period costumes will take guests back in time to retrace the steps that Mary and Joseph would have taken on the road to Bethlehem.

Along the road, guests will interact with familiar characters like Caesar Augustus, Roman soldiers, shepherds, angels, tax collectors and innkeepers. They will also be able to see a variety of live animals and enjoy the sights and sounds of a bustling ancient marketplace. Following the walking tour, guests will be welcome to warm up inside with some refreshments, view a display of works by local artists, and perhaps join in the singing of a few Christmas carols.

“Preparing for an event like the Road the Bethlehem is a huge undertaking for our church,” says Pastor Allan Langlois. “Our congregation has been working since early in the summer designing sets, edit-

Nativity scenes from around the world

News – Napanee - At this time of year, it’s a tradition to put up colourful lights and decorate Christmas trees, activities that have evolved over time. Many families also put up a nativity scene. It may be on the front lawn or on display inside our home; it usually consists of Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus, shepherds, wise men, maybe some sheep and other animals that you would find in a stable.

For the past three years, The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints in Napanee has presented a Nativity Showcase for three days just before the holiday. And this year they’ll be doing it once again.

On December 12 from 4 until 9 p.m. and on December 13 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., between 130 and 150 nativity scenes from over 20 countries will be on display in their

church at 501 Crouse Street.

The figures in these beautiful nativity scenes are made from many different materials. One from Vietnam is made from colourful recycled magazine paper.

Another from Kenya is made from banana peels. In one from Uganda, the figures are dressed in native tribal costumes. All are exquisitely made. The event is open to the public and there is no charge to attend this wonderful presentation. Light refreshments will be served.

They invite you to bring a nonperishable food item for the local food bank.

If you are travelling to visit family and friends, it’s worth the detour. Napanee is close to the 401 about a half hour west of Kingston. Take exit 579A on to Centre Street, and you are no more than five minutes away.

The Israeli Palestinian conflict focus of church presentation News - Campbellford - Witness to what is happening in the Israeli Palestinian conflict, the Reverend Noel Gordon brought a message to this community, sharing his story with others.

Gordon recently returned from a three-month trip to the conflict-ridden area and was invited to talk about his experiences to a gathering hosted

by St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church in Campbellford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has just completed his third study tour to Israel and Palestinian territory,â&#x20AC;? explained the Reverend Blaine Dunnett, pastor of St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt he gave us a perspective from the Christian church in Palestine among the Palestinian Christians that indicated what is happening. That part of the story we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often hear. It gave a little balance to what we usually hear through the media and other forums,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The historical background he provided was very informa-

tive,â&#x20AC;? he added.

About 25 people gathered at the church to listen to the Reverend Gordon, who made a PowerPoint presentation with photographs of the region he visited.

All of this took place against a backdrop of recent reports that the Israeli Palestinian conflict may be moving toward a religious war.

Gordon, who recently retired after 40 years serving at four churches, the last one in Bowmanville, has been to the conflict area eight or nine times, leading study trips. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went there for the first time 47 years ago as a young man to work on an Israeli Kibbutz,â&#x20AC;? he told the Trent Hills Independent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been tremendous change since then.â&#x20AC;?

Gordon travelled to Haifa in 1967, the largest city in northern Israel. He later took a job teaching at a boys secondary school run by a Christian church in the Palestinian Territory, in the City of Ramallah,

before he studied theology and became a minister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It certainly opened my eyes to all sorts of things,â&#x20AC;? he said, and he has been returning to the region ever since.

His presentation last week included his impressions of the region as he shared his experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I was attempting to do was share some insights into the Palestine Israel conflict through the words of the authors of the Kairos Palestinian document,â&#x20AC;? he commented.

Described as the Christian Palestinianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word to the world about what is happening in Palestine, it was written in 2009 and titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Moment of Truth â&#x20AC;Ś a word of faith, hope and love from the heart of Palestinian suffering.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the heart of the Palestinian suffering is the more than 47 years of illegal occupation of Palestinian territory by Israeli military,â&#x20AC;? said the Reverend Gordon, as he talked about people forced out of their homes

Amnesty International group to participate in Human Rights Day Events - Belleville - Those interested in justice and international issues can participate in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being called the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest human rights event, and they can do it not far from home.

Bellevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amnesty International Group is participating in International Human Rights Day on December 10.

People at the event will be encouraged to write letters and cards in support of â&#x20AC;&#x153;prisoners of conscience and human rights defenders.â&#x20AC;?

The Belleville Group will be at the Core CafĂŠ at 223 Pinnacle Street on the day, between 1:30 and 7 p.m.

The letter-writing campaign is known as Write For Rights and Amnesty International supporters around the world are expected to be writing letters on December 10. The letters are intended to pressure governments to uphold human rights on select cases.

The cases Amnesty International is focussing on this year involve individuals at risk from the Philippines, China, Saudi Arabia, and the United States, as well as vulnerable communities from South Africa and India and indigenous women and girls from Canada. As well, several cases speak

to Amnestyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaigns â&#x20AC;&#x153;Open for Justiceâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stop Torture.â&#x20AC;?

According to a press release from the Belleville group, last year people in 143 countries took a record-breaking 2,373,422 actions during Write for Rights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shows that when ordinary people stand together and send a clear message demanding governments fulfill their duty to protect and uphold peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s human rights we can achieve fantastic results,â&#x20AC;? said Salil Shetty, Amnesty Internationalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Secretary General.

Last year, messages pressuring authorities led to the release of two prisoners of conscience: the Cambodian housing rights activist Yorm Bopha and the Russian peaceful protester Vladimir Akimenkov.

A small act of writing a card can also change the outlook of so many prisoners of conscience or human defenders under threat and their families.

For the Reverend Dunnett the presentation fulfilled its purpose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He [Gordon] was here to throw additional light on the situation and what the Christian church is seeking to do by way of reconciliation. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear that perspective of things through the media. It was interesting to learn what the Christians are seeking in a very religious and secular environment.â&#x20AC;?

The world’s oldest social housing complex still in use

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - Jakob Fugger (1459-1525), a very wealthy merchant and banker who resided in Augsburg, Germany, decided to use some of his money to establish the Fuggerei, a social housing complex to help needy citizens of the area. It was founded in 1521, and it still exists today.

Therefore, it’s considered to be the world’s oldest social housing complex still in use, and it’s supported by a charitable trust that was actually set up back in the early 16th century and is still administered by family descendants.

By 1523, 52 apartment houses had been built in this “city within the city,” and others were later added, with its own streets, gates, and church, and needy Augsburg citizens could apply to live here and pay a yearly fee of a mere one Rheinischer Gulden (less than one Euro) and, amazingly, the rent is still the same today, hundreds of years later.

One of the “lucky” inhabitants back in the 17th century (1681-1694) was Franz Mozart, the great-grandfather of that illustrious composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and there’s still a plaque in this complex to commemorate this bit of history. It’s, of course, not easy to get one of these “bargains,” for there’s a long waiting list and stringent

rules. The apartments were set up for hard-working people who had fallen on hard times but were debt-free, and they had to be devout Roman Catholics.

One of the original parts of the agreement was that the apartment dweller had to pray for the Fugger family three times every day (and this is still a requirement), including a recitation of the Lord’s Prayer, for Jakob had originally set this up as a kind of religious “insurance,” just in case he had some difficulty getting into heaven. After all, he had been a somewhat ruthless businessman in life, but he also had a strong faith (and perhaps a bit of a guilty conscience), and he didn’t want to be trapped in Purgatory for too long.

Since this complex is still inhabited today, there are lots of curious tourists who want to check it out, and it has become a major tourist attraction in this beautiful Bavarian city. I joined a guided tour of this intriguing area, and I discovered there are now several buildings in this social housing complex, and each apartment has its own door and street entrance. The left door always leads down to an apartment with an outdoor garden area and shed, and the right door leads to an upper apartment with an attic. These one-bedroom units have obvi-

FRANKLIN COACH & TOURS

ously been renovated and updated over the years, but I found that some of the old Gothic house numbers remain intact, and some of the elaborately shaped bell pulls date to pre-streetlight days, when residents could feel their individual bell pull in the dark and know they’d arrived at their correct destination.

I also discovered that one apartment unit used to be used as a hospital, exclusively for the treatment of syphilis, and that another unit has been preserved “as it was” and is now kept open as a museum. Here I was able to see an original kitchen, where the resident would cook over an open fire, and the separate old bedroom, with its antique furnishings, coal oil lamp, and bedpan under the bed.

A fully furnished modern apartment is also kept open and on display for visitors, and it includes a TV set showing a documentary about the Fugger family.

I also learned that this Fuggerei was heavily damaged during World War II, so much of it has been rebuilt/repaired, and the bunker where residents sought shelter during the bombing is also now kept open as a museum.

I couldn’t help but think about the fact that the modest fee for my tour of this social housing complex was actually more than an entire year’s rent here.

That seemed rather strange. And I also found it intriguing that Jakob and his brother, Ulrich, also founded a chapel within Augsburg’s St. Anne’s Church just prior to when the Fuggerei was begun, to serve as a family crypt. However, this Roman Catholic Church eventually became a Protestant Church, so this now Protestant Church houses a Roman Catholic family crypt!

Augsburg was founded in 15 BC, more than 2,000 years ago, so it has a very long and distinguished history. It was named after the Roman Emperor Augustus, became the capital of the Roman province of Rhaetia, and was, by the Middle Ages, an important intersection of several trade routes. There was a lot of money here at that time, and the

(Right) Franz Mozart was a resident here in the 17th century.

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

Fugger family was certainly a major part of this. Augsburg became the base for the Fugger banking empire, and the city was even sometimes referred to as “Fuggerstadt” (“Fuggers’ City”). They were, indeed, an influential family back then, and still are, because of the existence of the Fuggerei. There’s a bust of Jakob near this complex and a painting of him (by renowned painter Albrecht Durer) in the city’s Maximilian Museum (where an enclosed courtyard also houses three Renaissance Fountains).

While in this area of Germany, just northwest of Munich, sometimes referred to as “the gateway to the Alps,” I’d also recommend checking out the restored Golden Hall in the City Hall, the Perlach Tower, St. Mary’s Cathedral, the Imperial Mile, and the Fugger City Palace (a residential and business house of Jakob Fugger).

Westben hosts Music Makes Me Smile day for schoolchildren

By Sue Dickens

News - Campellford - Local schoolchildren filled the Clock Tower Cultural Centre to learn about a program hosted by Westben Arts Festival Theatre called “Music Makes Me Smile.”

The goal of last Monday’s event was to also introduce students, teachers and parents to the centre.

Westben co-founders Brian Finley and Donna Bennett were joined by renowned local musician and music teacher Nancy Elmhirst, to welcome more than 150 schoolchildren from Kent and Hillcrest Public schools.

“The goal is to welcome and introduce students, teachers and parents to the Clock Tower Cultural Centre. There is immense potential with this Cultural Centre and we want the youth of this

community to know the door is open,” said Bennett.

Music Makes me Smile not only introduced the current programs Westben has to offer but it was designed to create interest with fun and involvement through musical demonstrations and interactions,” Bennett explained.

Sheldon Sporring, a Grade 7 student at Hillcrest agreed that music is important.

He was there with the Westben Foundation Junior Band and plays the bass clarinet.

“The first year I was in the Junior Band and now the second year I am in the Foundation Band and next year it will be the Wind Ensemble,” he explained.

“I joined because it’s something to do and it’s good for you to learn how to do different

things. Who knows later on in life I might be able to play professionally,” he said enthusiastically.

Emily Williams, who plays the clarinet, also in Grade 7, agrees that music is also a big part of her life.

“I love it I really enjoy it,” she said.

“The nice part of playing an instrument [is] once you get to know that instrument, you can pretty well play any instrument you want to,” she added with a big grin.

The morning of the program, Elmhirst and members of the Westben Instrumental Foundations group performed and introduced their own instruments to the other school children.

The presentation ended with a question and answer session.

Rock show coming to Belle Pub

“It is thrilling to have the Clock Tower full of children enjoying music,” Bennett remarked.

“We at Westben believe strongly in the value of arts education and recognize the importance of quality musical experiences in helping children grow and develop intellectually, socially and emotionally,” she added.

“Engagement with the arts

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

Westben hopes to create interest and involvement, focusing on

fun and value through musical demonstrations and interactions.

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

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth:

Dan Clost Lifestyles - Once again the air in our homes is redolent with the malodorous stench of rotting tree carcasses. Yes, Gentle Reader, ’tis the time of year when we join the maddened, extravagant world of the Victorian gardener.

We have convinced ourselves it is the grandest idea to bring dead trees into the home; homes with neither conservatory nor l’orangerie.

Okay, that’s my bit of curmudgeonry for the season, with the exception of a continuing commentary on “festive jolly music” turning our brains into mush.

To clear the air, so to speak, I really do like Christmas trees and really do look forward to having one in the house.

B8 Section B - Thursday, November 27, 2014

Caring for your dead tree

I am also very pleased that the Fraser fir is readily available for one primary reason, it has a pleasing fragrance, especially when compared to the white spruce, aka cat spruce. (What is implied but not said is that a white spruce can sometimes smell like cat pee.)

There are many varieties of conifers now available to us and each has distinct characteristics that help us prefer one over the other. Some are old favourites such as Scots pine, white pine, Norway spruce and balsam fir. Some are newer to us such as Fraser fir, Canaan fir, Nordmann fir and Serbian spruce.

Whichever you prefer, there is one feature you must look for and that is freshness.

Freshness does not necessarily mean freshly cut or harvested from the field.

In fact, a tree bundled up from the plantation in November can be fresher than a tree sawn down from the woodlot in mid-December. Trees are just like any other plant in the garden; they enter into dormancy in the late fall. Signals are received externally, e.g. temperature differentials, declining sunlight, and this triggers internal changes, e.g. production of different hormones, a slowing down of metabolic processes. One of the affects is reduction in moisture moving from roots to needles. When the tree

is cut down before the external signals happen to effect these changes, the top part doesn’t know it is dead. And it won’t know it for a very long time.

Coincidentally, this is the time between harvest and January composting.

When the tree is cut, the sap will form essentially a scab (congealed sap) while it tries to heal itself: think of a geranium leaf cutting. If the temperatures remain cool, with little difference between night and daytime temperatures, the tree is almost in a state of suspended animation. Once you bring it into the house, the warm temperatures will “awaken” it. The tree will be very thirsty. This is the reason for making a fresh, or new, cut at the base of the trunk: you remove the scab so water can replenish the desiccated or drying out needles. Your dead Christmas tree might even break open buds and start to “grow.” This is common with varieties that have a shorter dormancy period, for example silver fir and some balsam firs. Don’t look for roots, GR, just keep the reservoir filled with water.

You can add all sorts of stuff to the water if you wish from preservatives to soft drinks to aspirin to sugar. You’ll feel better and know that you are doing your bit to feed a dead tree. The tree itself won’t care. If you check the web sites,

be sure to differentiate between those that sell preservatives and those that have some academic and horticultural credibility.

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

should be pliant or easily bendable.

Once a tree loses its suppleness and stops taking up water, it is time to take it out of the house, even if it is Christmas Eve. It is better to be inconvenienced by replacing a tree than standing out on the street watching the fire department do their job.

A Christmas tree is a wonderful addition to the season and is a focus for both the secular and the divine. Take care of it.

said if infected ash trees are not treated there is a 95 per cent mortality rate, within one or two years.

“It’s really fast,” she said.

The dead wood and branches falling can be hazardous. The trees can fall on other trees or on roads.

“Ash is a valuable hard wood for furniture or burning,” she said. “It does not need to be seasoned. You can cut it today and burn it tonight.”

Cane said ash reproduces by the roots so it reforests quite quickly.

“It can be annoying, sprouting up all over,” she added.

“But it’s really good for woodpeckers. They have a banquet.”

The cause of the problem is a tiny emerald insect.

“It’s an emerald green, really beautiful,” she said.

“But terrible.”

News - Quinte West - Ash trees are going to be a thing of the past if the emerald ash borer gets its way.

“It’s only a matter of time,” says Emma Cane, Source Protection Assistant with Lower Trent Conservation. She

their exit holes in the bark.

They drop their eggs and the larvae goes into the bark.

The new bugs eat their way through the bark cutting off its circulation of sap.

“In a heavy infestation they peel the whole bark off the tree,” she said.

The adults also feed on the leaves of the ash trees.

Cane said landowners have resources through Lower Trent Conservation to deal with the problem.

“In the next five years it’s all they will ever talk about,” she said. “It’s a really big forestry issue.”

She said landowners can pay $200 a tree to inject insecticide. Some are proactive and cutting down their ash trees now before it gets hazardous.

Cane said people can still use the wood even if it is infected. “It’s still good wood,” she said.

She said the disease is similar to the Dutch elm disease but faster.

Enchanted Forest attracts hundreds

By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - It was a busy weekend at Farmtown Park as volunteers and staff hosted a massive pre-Christmas party and raffle that continued long after the annual Starlight House Tour held last Thursday night.

Museum Manager Margaret Grotek says Christmas in Heritage Village has become a popular and eagerly anticipated annual event for many, and the support of both sponsors and community are behind its success.

About 200 people took part in the house tour, hosted in five area homes and Farmtown Park last Thursday evening, with many arriving at Heritage Village as the final stop. Inside the streetscape, dozens of trees, decorations and toy

bundles were available for raffle, all provided by a large group of museum supporters. This year the event had an Enchanted Forest theme with a bullfrog on a giant toadstool greeting visitors as they entered through a tunnel of greenery to a brightly lit and colourful Christmas display.

Throughout the weekend visitors arrived to view the various raffle prizes and drop their tickets in the accompanying boxes with the hopes of taking something special home.

Farmtown Park President Harry Danford welcomed visitors on the final day and thanked the many supporters for their generosity before Hastings County Queen of the Furrow Jessica Sills began drawing tickets for about 60

valuable prizes. Grotek says volunteers spent several weeks in preparation for what has become the largest annual fund raiser for the facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once again our sponsors have been very generous, and we really appreciate it,â&#x20AC;? Danford said before the draws began. And based on the list of winners, most of whom were not in attendance at the time, there were plenty of out-oftown guests during the weekend. Prizes went to residents from throughout the area including Trenton, Campbellford, Norwood, Marmora, Madoc and Stirling.

Winners would be contacted by phone, he explained, and could arrange to pick up their prizes in the coming days.

Each year the special events bring hundreds of visitors to the museum, and officials say it is also an opportunity to attract firsttime guests to see the impressive displays.

TransCanada answers questions about pipeline project

By John Campbell

News - Codrington - Close to 70 people turned out for the open house TransCanada held last week to explain its proposal to build a natural gas pipeline across southern Ontario, and most attendees had one thing in mind: where exactly is it going to be located.

“The feedback was pretty consistent,” said TransCanada external communications specialist Sharan Kaur. “People wanted to see on the map where specifically in the community the pipe is going to be going through.”

The energy company is proposing to lay 250 kilometres of pipe between Markham and South Dundas in eastern Ontario “to meet current and future needs” of gas customers in Ontario and Quebec, Kaur said. The $1.5-billion Eastern Mainline Project requires the approval of the National Energy Board before it can proceed. The open house held November 20 at the Codrington Community Centre marked the start of a second round of public consultations this year. Pending approval, TransCanada hopes to begin construction in 2016 and have the new transmission infrastructure in service by 2017.

Nine new compressor units will be added to five existing compressor stations, including the one in Alnwick-Haldimand Township.

“There are going to be thousands

of jobs that are going to come into the community along the pipeline route [during construction],” Kaur said. “That’s important to a lot of folks.”

The “economic spinoffs” include workers staying in hotels, dining at local restaurants and purchasing local goods and services.

The pipeline will require a new right-ofway, but it will be located where possible adjacent the existing corridor.

That’s an issue for Bev Dahmer, who already has two TransCanada pipelines crossing her farm properties north of Grafton. She and two others want to organize area landowners into a group to negotiate “the best possible deal” for easement agreements. She’s had “all sorts of problems” with two other gas companies whose pipelines run across her land, and while she hasn’t had an issue with TransCanada, it “has a very poor track record in safety and transparency and honesty in other parts of Canada and … the world.”

Dahmer said she and other landowners are looking for a commitment from TransCanada that the new pipeline will cause “the least amount of damage possible … and our livelihoods aren’t going to be greatly impacted.”

She’s “not anti-development, antipipeline. I want it done in a way that’s fair to the landowner, that’s safe [and]

compensates us fairly because we put a lot of blood and sweat into our land.”

Project manager Brian West said farmers will be compensated for the loss of crops during construction, based on thirdparty appraisals that take into account their “market value at the time.”

TransCanada had 25 of its experts at the open house to answer questions on a broad array of issues, including pipeline safety.

Transporting natural gas through pipes “is the safest method,” Kaur said.

“Our goal is no incidents across the board … There are occurrences that do happen and we make sure that we address them” but “there hasn’t been anything here on the main line in Ontario specifically for quite some time.”

Pipelines are monitored around the clock for “even the smallest drop of pressure” by control centres in Calgary and Houston, and when that happens “they can shut off the pipeline valves on both ends and isolate it,” she said.

“There’s always room for improvement and we’re always doing that” through Brian and Eleanor Maunder, Brighton, had questions for one of TransCanada’s land agents about changes in technology. where the pipeline for the Eastern Mainline Project will be located. Photo: John Campbell West said the company is able to detect and deal with leaks “fairly quickly … so the impact to the environment from natural gas is minimal, if at all.”

SARFIP improves the farm while benefitting wildlife

By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - A Species at Risk Farm Incentive Program (SARFIP) is helping improve farms while benefitting wildlife and helping the environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are over 200 species at risk in Ontario,â&#x20AC;? said Paul Reeds, regional lead in the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program gives farmers an opportunity to enhance biodiversity and habitat, with incen-

tives from the government.â&#x20AC;?

He said they help farmers do things like setting up windbreaks by planting trees, and fencing livestock so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pollute streams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We even encourage them to delay cutting their hay,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Birds are nesting. We pay farmers the difference lost in the value of the hay by delaying the cut.â&#x20AC;?

He said the Ministry of Natural Resources will offer funds for certain incentives. Best manage-

ment practices include control of invasive plants, grazing management plans, biodiversity and wetland restoration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage biodiversity,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overgraze. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also good for the livestock when you rotate pastures.â&#x20AC;?

He said the federal and provincial governments pay half the costs. The five-year program was set up in 2013, beginning with a series of workshops, setting up a plan and implementing the plan.

Locals do well at Royal Winter Fair ship took the limelight in mainstream media for their young bull, Baker Farms Zuma, who finished as the Grand Champion.

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

candy, third for extra light syrup and fourth for maple butter, with sixth and ninth for other entries.

Downey farms, once again finished well with fourth place in the National Canadian roadster to wagon competitions with their four-year-old mare, Road Tour, born and bred at their Centre Hastings farm. Last year Glen and Lori Downey were inducted into the Canadian Road Horse Association hall of fame.

The Bakers have been breeding a prize line of Charolais cattle by insemination, using stock from Gerrard Montezuma 6T, a bull from “out west” as Kevin Baker explained.

A heifer, Baker Farms Zagucci, from the same breeder, finished as grand champion last year at The Royal and went on to take the championship at Regina’s Canadian Western Agribition.

Ashley Baker is the one who shows their stock in the ring. She has personally handled Zuma since he was born. They have a bond both in and out of the ring, and, now, national fame.

Throughout 2014 he showed with nothing less than supreme status to succeed as champion this year.

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

years ago.

Stephen attributes their high quality products to continued improvements in equipment and the importance of a small calibration tool by Atago, which tests the heat and water of syrup.

The Needhams also wanted to give credit to their colleague, president of the Quinte local Kris Koopman, who finished as the reserve champion at The Royal,

for his extra light syrup.

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