Police Services Board discusses OPP satisfaction

8 Wing member awarded for bravery.

Page B2

By Kate Everson

Quinte West – The Quinte West Police Services Board heard from the OPP detachment just how satisﬁed people in this community are with police services. “Overall 96 per cent of people surveyed have a feeling of safety in their community,” reported Inspector Mike Reynolds at a recent meeting. Calls for service statistics show that Trenton Ward has 60 per cent of the calls compared to 21 per cent in Sidney, 16 per cent in Murray and ﬁve per cent in Frankford. Between January 1 and October 31, Quinte West OPP responded to 129 assaults and 35 sexual assaults, 109 break and enters, 90 thefts from automobiles and 94 frauds reported. There were also 880 hang-up 911 calls and 529 alarms.

“This pocket dialling on cellphones pulls our resources,” Reynolds said. The clearance rate for property crimes so far this year is 22 per cent. For violent crimes the rate is 82 per cent. The Crime Unit reported 10 deaths over the months of September and October, one serious assault, three thefts, 102 domestics, seven sexual assaults, and 22 break and enters. On September 14, a male was stabbed as a result of a dispute with his wife on Bay Street in Trenton. The 22-year-old female was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. A child pornography case involving a 37-year-old male from Quinte West involved several offences.

A series of break and enters in the spring near Hwy. 2 East involving stored boats at the Bay Marine has led to the charge of a 17-year-old male with seven counts of break and enter, as well as criminal offences. This was solved with a DNA match and a search warrant. In June a robbery occurred at Karten

Quinte West – News - Water and Wastewater Services include a raw water line from Frankford to feed Batawa Ski Hill. Quinte West Coun. Keith Reid asked at a recent Public Works committee meeting if that line was designated just for the ski hill. Chris Angelo, director of Public Works and Environmental Services, said it was. “The line was extended from Frankford to Batawa,” Angelo said. “The line is maintained for Batawa ﬁre protection. We may consider different options. The pumps need to be upgraded. We are having discussions with Mrs. Bata. We don’t want a detriment to the ski hill so we will continue to absorb those costs.” Matt Tracey, manager of water and wastewater services, reported to the Please see “Water services” on page 5

Belleville - News - The annual fall Quinte Region Career and Training Fair may have had reduced numbers this year, but according to Lisa Lisle, Manager of Economic Development for Quinte West, reduced attendance might have had some unexpected benefits for prospective employers. “The numbers have been down, but what we’ve been hearing from the employers is that the quality of applicants is up,” Lisle said. “They’re able to spend a lot more time speaking with applicants while they have been here.” Some 44 employers and employment service providers were on hand at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre on Thursday, November 14 for the fall Quinte Region Career and Training Fair, offering job seekers a potential glimpse at their futures while seeking out the perfect candidates for a wide range of openings. Representatives from the industrial, engineering, commercial and retail sectors were all represented, and with the fair wrapping up Lisle said over 500 people had come through the doors to see what was offered. One of type positioning samples those people was Tyler White of Prince Edward County, who carried an evershrinking pile of resumes around with him. “I stopped in to see what kind of opportunities there are,” he said. “I don’t really have anything specific in mind, I just need work right now to help get some of my student loans paid off.” White is far from alone, as the fair regularly attracts job seekers of every description, from recent college and university graduates to adults looking for full-time work. The fair is a result of a partnership between the cities of Belleville and Quinte West, which also holds a similar event in the springtime. Lisle said the partnership is an opportunity for the two cities to advertise regionally and provide the greatest breadth of opportunity for job-seekers. “I think it’s beneficial in providing an avenue for marketing for our whole community,” she said. “We’re looking at a more regional approach.” Julie Marrone of McKesson Canada came all the way from Montreal to attend the fair, and said specifically her company was looking for material handlers. She added that she was pleased with the turnout and said she was confident they had filled all open positions by the end of the day.

New portable ultrasound on wish list for Trenton Memorial

By Kate Everson

Quinte West – News - A new portable ultrasound for the emergency department is on the Christmas Wish List for the Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) Foundation. “It costs $60,000,” says Foundation executive director Wendy Warner. “It’s part of our Christmas campaign in the mail-outs.” Dr. Filip Gilic, emergency doctor at TMH, says a new machine would do wonders in the Emergency Room (ER). “It has a very deﬁnitive role,” he said. “It allows us to diagnose quicker. We can react quicker to trauma, and look for places of accumulating blood.” The ER currently has a seven-year-old portable ultrasound, but a new one would be more efﬁcient and have greater uses. “We would keep the old one as a back-up,” he noted. Dr. Gilic said the technology is newer and

could more quickly track infections that have spread through the body. “If a woman is pregnant we could immediately tell if she has miscarried or not,” he added. “We could also ﬁnd fractures resulting in back pain. It would be useful ﬁnding out how well hydrated an old person is. We use it quite a bit.” He said the portable version of the ultrasound is very convenient in the emergency department. They can bring it to the patient and not have to wheel patients to another room. “It’s for critical use,” he adds. “These are serious traumas, cardiac arrest and serious illnesses.” The TMH emergency department sees 35,000 patients a year. The new equipment would also save on wait times. Donations can be made online at tmhfoundation.com or mailed into TMH Foundation at 242 King St. Trenton K8V 5S6 or by calling 613-392- Dr. Filip Gilic, emergency department doctor at TMH, checks out Paula Herrington, RN, with a portable ultrasound.

Water services: leaks repaired and old equipment removed Continued from page 3

committee that several water leaks have been detected within the city. A water leak was repaired on the raw water main in Batawa. “This was a fairly signiﬁcant leak,” he said. “The city had to replace approximately 25 of the raw water mains. The system has been put back online and no additional leaks have been detected.” He added that the Permit to Take Water allowance has been exceeded since March 29, 2013 and notiﬁcation to

the Ministry has been made. New chlorination equipment was commissioned on the Frankford/Batawa Water Treatment Plant on November 14 by Genivar Engineering. The old process equipment will be removed. Tracey reported that the Trenton Water Treatment Plant had some problems when a booster pump at Mount Pelion failed and had to be replaced. “During the wind storm on November 1 the membrane roof on the Mount Pelion Booster Station sustained some damages,” he added. “Temporary repairs

are being made with the roof scheduled for replacement in 2014. There are continual problems with vandalism, people on the roof.” Trenton Wastewater Treatment plant had a raw sludge spill on October 11, as a result of a valve failure. “This was a mess,” Tracey said. “It blew a hole in the bottom of the valve.” Due to the hazardous nature and volume of the spill, First On Site remediation company was contracted to clean up the site. A portion of the cost will be recovered through insurance.

The city has hired Mirtren Contractors to perform the necessary repairs at the facility. Coun. Don Kuntze asked about the insurance claims and Tracey said it will cost $25,000 to restore the facility. Jim Harrison asked if there were enough alarms on the buildings. Tracey said there are alarms during the week but not on weekends. Harrison suggested they get more sensors. “If it happens on Friday you won’t catch it until Monday,” Harrison noted. Tracey said he will look into it.

The Dundas Street Pump Station upgrades have been tendered out and may start as early as December. Tracey said they need to replace three pumps and there is a problem with asbestos removal.

Police Services Board discusses OPP satisfaction

Continued from page 3

Metals and three people were charged at the time. An ongoing investigation into the case led to a fourth male being arrested and charged later on. Const. Dave Ludington noted that mental health needs are increasing in Quinte West but most of the resources are in Belleville. Recently many support agencies have expressed interest in locating in Quinte West, but have difficulty finding office space that provides clients with any amount of privacy. Police Services Board member Ted Reid said the board will do whatever it can to assist. “Whatever we can do, let us know,” he said. Representatives from the Victim Services Bail Notification

program, executive director Lisa Warriner and victim service worker Patty Whelan, addressed the board requesting a renewal of their $25,000 yearly contract. Warriner noted there are 1,000 crime victims a year out of this jurisdiction. “This is a good value to taxpayers,” she said. Patty Whelan added that she notiﬁes victims when the perpetrator is out on bail and also attends court appearances. Board Chairman and Quinte West Coun. Jim Alyea thanked the organization for its hard work and noted that the victims appreciate the support. The board voted to continue with the funding. The meeting also included a report from Community Policing President Chuck Lane and volunteer Dick Button on the work the organization is doing in the community. Lane noted they have started the “Lock it or Lose it” campaign, putting notes on cars to encourage drivers to lock their vehicles. A report on the new billing for OPP across the province was addressed by Quinte West Director of Finance David Clazie. He said the proposed new model will come into effect in 2015. The model will base its charges on a per-household basis rather than by the number of calls Staff Sergeant Dave Tovell and Inspector Mike Reynolds at the Quinte West received. “Some municipalities will pay less,” he said. “It’s hard to say if this is Police Services Board meeting. Photo: Kate Everson

good or bad. It’s probably beneﬁcial to the city.” He noted the OPP contract for the city ends on March 2014 but the city will likely extend it for one more year. Alyea noted that some smaller municipalities will be hit hard if they have no tax base. “Stay tuned,” he said. “We’ll see how it turns out.

Dear Editor, It is time for Rolly Ethier to wake up. Once we have destroyed this planet, there is no other for us to move to. What Rolly also has to remember is that once the food supply is gone, we can’t eat money. Sincerely, Robert M. Taylor, Stirling

gave around $4 million in profits from his various businesses to the pro-legalization movement in the United States and around the world. This is why American and Canadian authorities wanted him silenced. Marc is a fearless, powerful voice exposing the stupidity and cruelty of Nixon’s “War on Drugs” and so with Harper’s help the Americans imprisoned him. In the following statement the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) admitted on the day of Marc Emery’s arrest (July 29th, 2005) that his investigation and extradition were politically motivated, designed to target the Marijuana Legalization organization that Emery spearheaded and ran for over a decade in Canada. Here is the original text of DEA Administrator Karen Tandy’s statement released on July 29th, 2005: “Today’s DEA arrest of Marc Scott Emery, publisher of Cannabis Culture Magazine, and the founder of a marijuana legalization group — is a significant blow not only to the marijuana trafficking trade in the U.S. and Canada, but also to the marijuana legalization movement. “His marijuana trade and propagandist marijuana magazine have generated nearly $5 mil-

lion a year in profits that bolstered his trafficking efforts, but those have gone up in smoke today. “Hundreds of thousands of dollars of Emery’s illicit profits are known to have been channeled to marijuana legalization groups active in the United States and Canada. Drug legalization lobbyists now have one less pot of money to rely on.” Any Canadian who takes a few minutes to understand the details of this case should be very ashamed by what our Canadian government has allowed this Canadian citizen to endure for the past four years. If our Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp had any sense of justice he would also have been standing beside Jodie Emery asking for Blaney’s signature on her behalf. In the name of justice and compassion Mr. Kramp should be knocking on Mr. Blaney’s office door, forcefully requesting his signature to allow this Canadian citizen to be returned to Canada. Sincerely, Alan Coxwell, Stirling

I previously wrote the following; Here’s what happened; upon renewing my Home Insurance recently, I found myself being asked politely if I can change my oil furnace to gas. I know I am not alone. So, doing a little research, I found out that there are many reasons to do so. Let me name a few; 1. Natural gas or propane is reason enough to save on energy, I understand it can be as much as 70%/year as well as provide my family with a very efficient heating and cooling system. 2. Furthermore, the Ont. Power Auth.(opa) allow up to $650 in an incentive program (with eligibility). Then a co-worker told me about Access HVAC in Belleville, ON. They offered him a financing plan under $100/mth with no payments for the first 12 mths (oac). 3. They also provided him with an additional rebate incentive which once combined with the OPA was up to $2000. 4. Apparently they converted everything for him the same day. Plus my co-worker had no gas in the area, No Problem, Access HVAC set everything with propane. My wife told me, “what are you waiting for, call them now!” She said she wants those incentives to help us with X-Mas. They guaranteed us the install before Santa even shows up this year. Their Guarantee Before Santa Install Program is still available till including December, 2013. Call them as I did at 613-689-7058. Have a Wonderful Warm Winter as my family will.

Dear Editor, In regards to the article about cyclists needing education on the rules of the road, the author tries to portray the stereotype that cyclists are a menace on the road. The cyclists I know all have valid drivers licences, obey the rules of the road and ride responsibly. I ride with various clubs in the area, to work, and for pleasure. Last year I rode 3000 km without any incidents. Riding is a great way to keep in shape, help out the environment, and discover the great places we have in the area. Portraying the “bad cyclist” only reinforces the belief that cyclist shouldn’t be allowed on the road. There are some irresponsible cyclists just like there are irresponsible drivers of recreational vehicles, cars and trucks. I don’t believe cyclists need to be singled out. I wear bright clothing, cycle only during the day, don’t wear headphones, ride on the shoulder of the road and prefer riding on less travelled roads. I never want to impede a driver’s progress. For the most part, cyclists ride very defensively since any collision with a car will end badly for the cyclist. In an ideal world, cyclists and vehicles wouldn’t share the same road, but that’s not practical in most areas. Having a shoulder on the road creates some separation between vehicles and cyclists, which is a start. I find most drivers are very good in giving space to cyclists. I hope that the community remains positive towards cyclists in the area. Greg Zak Carrying Place

Dear Editor, Libby Davies of the NDP, former Solicitor General Wayne Easter of the Liberals and Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada, stood beside Jodie Emery during a press conference on Parliament Hill last week. All passionately addressed their remarks to Stephen Harper’s new Minister of Public Safety, Mr. Steven Blaney. They were collectively pleading for Blaney’s signature on documents, already signed by the Justice Department in the United States of America, which would allow Jodie’s husband, Marc Emery, to be released from Mississippi’s Yazoo Prison so he can serve the remainder of his 5-year prison sentence closer to his wife and family here in Canada. There is no question about the fact Marc Emery is a political prisoner. Former Justice Minister Rob Nicholson, now our Defence Minister, signed the extradition papers because Harper’s government wanted Marc Emery to quit funding and speaking about the legalization of marijuana. Marc never sold any marijuana. He never trafficked drugs. He paid Revenue Canada over $580,000 in taxes on the cannabis seeds he sold which is a legal activity because there is no active drug in the seeds. He

Chinese demographics

Editorial - The big news of the week is that China’s one-child policy is being relaxed. After 34 years when most Chinese families were officially limited to only one child, most couples will now be allowed to have two children. The reality, however, is that it will make very little difference. It will make little difference because only about one-third of Chinese couples were still living under those restrictions Gwynne Dyer anyway. The one-child limit never applied to ethnic minorities, and in the past fifteen years it has rarely applied to people living in rural areas either: couples whose first child was a girl are almost always allowed to have a second child (in the hope that it will be a boy). Controls were stricter in the cities, but if both prospective parents were only children themselves they were exempt from the limit. And people with enough money can just ignore the rules: the penalty for having a second child is just a stiff fine up front and the extra cost of raising a child who is not entitled to free education. (The fines are reported to have raised $2.12 billion for the state coffers last year alone.) The net result of all this is that the China’s current fertility rate (the average number of children a woman will bear in a lifetime) is not 1.0, as it would be if there were a really strict one-child policy. According to United Nations statistics, it is 1.55, about the same as Canada. Which suggests that most Chinese who really wanted a second child got one. The new rules that have just been announced by the Third Plenum of the Communist Party say that urban people can now have a legal second child if just one of the would-be parents was an only child. This is not going to unleash a wave of extra babies; it will raise the fertility rate, at most, to 1.6. (“Replacement” level is 2.1.) Indeed, it’s questionable whether the one-child policy really held down China’s birth rate at all. There are demographers who argue that the one-child policy hasn’t really made much difference. China was already urbanising fast when the policy was imposed in 1979, and the more urban a country is, the lower the birth rate. From about 1970 there was also a very aggressive birth control policy. The fertility rate in China had already dropped from 5.8 children per woman in 1970 to only 2.7 in 1978, the year before the one-child rule was introduced. It has since fallen to 1.55, but that might well have happened anyway. For com-

parison, Brazil’s fertility rate has dropped from 6.0 fifty years ago to 1.7 now WITHOUT a one-child policy. China’s National Population and Family Planning Commission claims that the one-child policy has spared the country an extra 400 million mouths to feed, but it would say that, wouldn’t it? The real number of births avoided by that policy is probably no more than 100 million in three decades. And if we accept these numbers, then three major conclusions follow. The first is that the one-child policy is not the major culprit in China’s disastrous gender imbalance, with at least 120 boys born for every 100 girls. The social effects of this are very dangerous: by the end of this decade there will be 24 million “leftover” men who will never find a wife. Any sane government would be terrified by the prospect of a huge army of unattached and dissatisfied young men hanging around the streets after work with nothing much to do. A regime with as little legitimacy as the Communists will be even more frightened by it. Unfortunately for them, ending the one-child policy will have little effect on this pattern. Only state intervention as arbitrary and intrusive as the one-child policy could reverse the gender imbalance, and it is doubtful that the Communist regime is still confident enough to risk that degree of unpopularity. The second conclusion we can draw from these statistics is that China’s population is going to drop whether the regime wants it or not. It will peak at or below 1.4 billion, possibly as soon as 2017, and then begin a long decline that will see it fall to 1.2 billion by 2050. There’s nothing wrong with that in principle, but it exacerbates what is already the greatest threat to economic growth in China: the population’s rapidly rising average age. The big, old generations will be around for a long time, but the younger generations are getting smaller very fast. Indeed, the number of people in the 20-24 age group in China will halve in the next ten years. This means the dependency rate is going to skyrocket. In 1975, there were 7.7 people in the workforce for every person over sixty: by 2050, the ratio will be only 1.6 employed persons for every retiree. No country has ever had to bear such a burden before, but ending the one-child policy won’t get the birth rate back up. The only way China could increase its workforce to lessen the burden is to open up the country to mass immigration. And what are the odds on that?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Say no to Internet censorship Dear Editor, Canadian government officials are working with those from 11 other nations to finalize the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). I am very concerned about the TPP, which is currently being negotiated without public input. We know from documents revealed by Wikileaks that the TPP includes an Internet censorship plan that would make the Internet more policed, expensive and censored. Experts have pointed out that under the TPP, “kids could be sent to jail for downloading” and whole families could be kicked off the Internet. It would force Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to become Internet police and monitor my Internet use, censor website content, and remove entire websites from my view. It would also hinder our ability to access information and criminalize our every day use of the Internet. As a concerned citizen, I am speaking out for a free and open Internet. The TPP would also limit accessibility for disabled people. Visually impaired or deaf people would be criminal-

ized for circumventing digital locks on any digital materials they have purchased. This means they would be unable to convert them to braille, audio, or other accessible formats. I believe that the Internet should be open and accessible to everyone. In addition, the TPP’s proposal to force ISPs to install costly and invasive surveillance equipment into their networks gravely worries me. These added costs would drive up everyone’s Internet bills and could force smaller independent Internet providers out of business. I believe that Internet access is a right and should be kept open and affordable for everyone. Already over 120,000 have signed the Say No to Internet Censorship petition. I encourage everyone to learn more about TPP Internet censorship before it’s too late at this website: https://OpenMedia.org/Censorship I encourage each and every Canadian to learn more about the TPP at OpenMedia.org/Censorship.

And now back to our regular programming By Terry Bush

Editorial - One might almost get the impression that Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is one of the most important people in the world given all the coverage he’s received over the past couple of weeks. Rob Ford still wants to be Prime Minister of Canada according to a headline on Monday. Chances are pretty slim that Ford will ever sit in Parliament unless he moves to Alberta. We would hope Canadians are a little smarter than that. It’s really too bad for the Fords that they weren’t born in the United States. Washington Mayor Marion Barry smoked crack and was re-elected mayor after a vacation in custody and is still on Washington city council. If someone ever deserved to be quickly relegated to the dustbin of history after one term in office, it was George W Bush, but Americans inexplicably re-elected him despite the lies and deception that cost trillions and close to a million lives by some accounts. So despite the fact that Mayor Rob Ford has appeared on pretty well every top ten list on late night television in the past week, there really are more important things going on in the world. The ongoing negotiations between the permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany and Iran has to rank somewhere near the top of current world events. After all, a little goodwill shown towards Iran would go a long way towards restoring some semblance of peace in the Middle East especially in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon where Iran has influence. That would be beneficial to the whole world. But what’s going on behind the scenes is a little disturbing. Both the United States’ intelligence community and Israel’s intelligence community have stated that to the best of their knowledge, Iran isn’t pursuing nuclear weapons. International inspectors on the ground say all nuclear material in Iran has been accounted for and nothing has been diverted to a nuclear weapons program. Construction of nuclear facilities in Iran has almost completely shut down. Yet, despite the assurances of their intelligence agencies, politicians in both countries continue to say that Iran is building a bomb. Israel has been saying Iran is six months away from a bomb for almost 20 years so obviously that record will never stop skipping. What has happened since Iranians elected a new president has been a complete about face when it comes to dealing with the west. So if Iranian President Rouhani is pushing for engagement and willing to put his neck on the line to get an agreement with the security council concerning Iran’s nuclear energy program, does anyone think for a moment that the Grand Ayatollah who actually runs the country isn’t on board. Wouldn’t a deal that opens up the country’s nuclear plants to even more intense scrutiny than is required as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty be a good thing? Not according to Saudi Arabia and Israel who have pulled out all the stops to quash any deal with Iran. In fact a deal was almost done last week until the French pulled a fast one changing the language in the agreement and adding conditions at the last minute. It should surprise no one that huge deal involving France selling more arms to the Saudis put the kibosh on that one. That and a phone call from the Israeli Prime Minister. The Saudis, a regime not shy about backing terrorists as long as they’re of the Sunni variety, will never support any deal involving Shiite Iran, its regional rival. A poor, disabled Iran is just what the doctor ordered. Israel for its part has been relentless in trying to block any deal that may come out of these meetings. They say they won’t abide by it. They’ve done their best to control US lawmakers through calls and lobbying, utilizing their powerful lobby group AIPAC to once again strike fear in the hearts of incumbents seeking re-election. Members of the US congress are drawing up even more sanctions despite Iran’s overtures and many vow to block any deal Obama’s team might make. Israel has also been lobbying countries on the Security Council to make sure no deal gets done. The problem is, if a deal, even an interim deal is completed with Iran, then Israel’s settlement of the West Bank and East Jerusalem will come to the forefront of world news and there’s no way a right wing government in Israel which depends on settlers’ support could let that happen. Israel, despite its many advantages including having a big brother with a big stick in the USA, doesn’t want any competition in the region either. The fact that Israel has nuclear weapons, chemical weapons and biological weapons in its arsenal never seems to come up unless you’re talking to its neighbours. So once again we have politicians looking out for basically themselves and the arms industry despite the objections of their constituents. French President Francois Allende has the lowest approval rating of any French president since 1958 yet sees no reason to listen to the public. The US Congress has an approval rating of around ten percent these days, a rating that might suggest their constituents don’t have any use for them or how they’re representing American interests. The American people are starting to wake up to the abuses of their government, congress and the senate. People power stopped the US bombing of Syria in its tracks. Sixty-six percent of Americans think a deal with Iran is in their best interests. It might just be time politicians around the world started listening to the people who elected them. That would be a pleasant change.

Protect your child’s teeth with Sealants Does it hurt to have sealants put on teeth? • No. Getting sealants is painless. No drilling or shots are used. Sealants take about five minutes per tooth. As soon as they dry, normal activities are fine.

What are dental sealants? • Dental Sealants are thin plastic coatings that are placed onto the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. • Sealants are painted on the top of the back teeth and harden to form a shield over the tooth.

How long will sealants last? • Sealants can last up to 5 – 10 years or longer if teeth are properly cared for.

city as part of a campaign to increase awareness of their need. “Many people do not have carbon monoxide detectors in their homes,” said Ralph Palumbo, vice president IBC Ontario. “We support MPP Ernie Hardeman’s initiative to make CO detectors mandatory in all Ontario homes.” Hardeman, the Member of Provincial Parliament for Oxford, joined Nor-

thumberland-Quinte West MPP Rob Milligan and Doug DeRabbie, director government relations with IBC, at Quinte West Fire Station 1 in Trenton on November 14 to promote the program. “This is designed to build public awareness,” Hardeman said. He explained that carbon monoxide can result from any open flame from

donation because the CO alarms will be installed for free in all new builds. The organization has one Habitat home in Trenton, one home in Bancroft and a soon-to-becompleted home in Picton. It also plans to build again in Quinte West. After 2001 all new homes must have the alarms installed. Hardeman is trying to get an amendment to Ontario’s Fire Prevention Act to get carbon monoxide detectors included as mandatory in all homes with a fuel burning appliance or attached garage. He has tried for five years to pass this amendment and it is now in its third reading. He hopes it will be passed before Christmas. “Carbon monoxide poisoning is the leading cause of accidental deaths in North America,” Hardeman says. “Many of these tragedies could be prevented by installing a CO detector.”

The fire department recommends people get their heating systems checked annually and install CO alarms on each level of the house. The department also suggests the alarms be replaced every five years. “There was a family whose hydro went out and they started up a generator in their garage,” Hardeman says. “The carbon monoxide came into their house and all four family members died.” Last year a similar tragedy in Quinte West also claimed two residents in the Barcovan area.

News - Quinte West – The Victim Services Bail Notification program has been approved for another year. The Quinte West Police Services Board has approved a 2014 grant of $25,000 to cover one contract employee at 20 hours a week. “The bail notification program continues to be an important component of our detachment court services,” says Inspector Mike Reynolds, of Quinte West OPP. “This program has relieved our court officers and investigators of the need to provide victim notification when a qualified victim services employee is available.” Since 2011 the city of Quinte West has provided financial support for the bail notification program in partnership with the Hastings, Prince Edward, Lennox and Addington Counties Victim Services and the Quinte West OPP detachment. Since 2009 the program has provided the police with consistent and reliable information as to safety needs and precautions for victims when alleged offenders are released from custody. “As detachment commander, I am focused on crime reduction strategies to reduce overall victimization in our community,” Reynolds stated. “The Quinte West Bail Notification Program is one important resource that allows victims of crime to have access to timely information on the release of alleged offenders to programs and services to assist them during this difficult time of their life.”

Local family inducted into Road Horse Hall of Fame By Diane Sherman

Centre Hastings - News - A ceremony was held at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto this year to honour Glen and Lori Downey for their induction into the Canadian Road Horse Association’s 2013 Hall of Fame. The Downeys were chosen,

by vote at the annual meeting of CRHA in March, for their many years of service within the association, their dedication to the sport and excellence in performance. Locally, the Downey family is well known for horse showing. Glen’s brother Clare and his sister Elaine both show horses, as

did their father and grandfather. Their children have also followed that path. Both of Glen’s daughters, Brittney and Amanda, and Clare’s three girls are skilled drivers and horse handlers. Downey said “It’s not just on the track where the show happens, there is lots of behind the scene stuff.” He says his family

plays an integral role with managing the farm and serving as the “pit crew” at shows. They took three horses to the RAWF this year; Road Tour, a three-year-old mare and her half sister Effective Brandy. An eightyear-old gelding, Cool Play, was sold to a buyer at the fair. It was the ﬁrst Royal showing for Road Tour, who took solid thirds in all divisions. Effective Brandy, at 11 years old, took a third, fourth and seventh ﬁnish in

her classes. Downey has been competing at the Royal for 41 years. This year both Brittney and Elaine drove in the ladies’ classes. Amanda and Brittney both jog the horses daily, while holding jobs and attending school and are always active on the local fair circuit along with their aunt, uncle and cousins. Downey was a grass roots member of the CRHA and president from 1984 to1985. He and

Lori organized the annual banquet in Belleville for many years. Glen took his ﬁrst win at the Royal driving Miss Echo and Mustang Duke in the pair class. In 1983 his horse, Simcoe Duke took the Canadian Wagon Championship. Offspring of Simcoe Duke, Flaxen Duke and Winnie’s Guy (renamed Autobahn), went on to take many championships and show well, with Autobahn taking the Wagon Championship in 1993 at the Royal.

Rotary Club of Quinte announces grant recipients By Steve Jessel

Quinte West - News -- It may have been early in the morning, but the mood at the Bay of Quinte Country Club on November 14 was upbeat as the Rotary Club of Quinte Sunrise announced its 2013 grant recipients. “We work very hard to

raise our grant funds, and we believe that your projects will truly make a difference in our community, or in the case of international grants, the lives of people in other countries,” director of service projects Maribeth deSnoo told those gathered. In total, over $12,000 was

Santa Claus is coming to Quinte West

By Kate Everson

Quinte West – Santa is a busy boy! If you caught him in Brighton and Belleville and maybe even in Consecon on the weekend, you know he is driving his sleigh quickly throughout the area. The Trenton parade is on Sunday, November 24, leaving from Centennial Park at 4:30 p.m. towards the downtown where the Christmas Fantasy will be lit in Fraser Park. The Trenton DBIA is also holding its Festival Sights and Winter Lights annual window decorating contest display throughout the downtown. The theme this year is “Believe in the Magic of Christmas.” The deadline for downtown businesses to sign up is November 22. Contact the DBIA at 613-394-4318 or email dbia@ downtowntrenton.ca. The judging will take place on November 28. The first place winner will take home $500 cash, second place is $300 in advertising on Rock 107 and third place is $100, sponsored by the city, DBIA and Rock 107. The lighting of the menorah in Fraser Park will take place on Wednesday, November 27 at 6 p.m. All are invited to take part in the traditional Jewish celebration of the beginning of Hanukkah, the Celebration of Lights, which runs eight days until December 5. Hanukkah is the commemoration of the rededication of the Holy Temple

in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire in second century BCE. One candle is lit each night. On Thursday, November 28, join in the Jingle Bell Walk around downtown Trenton and enjoy the decorations. The walk will meet at City Hall at 6:15 p.m. and be back at Fraser Park for the opening of the Nativity Celebration at 6:45 p.m. joining the Murray Centennial School Choir in Christmas songs. Follow the piper back to City Hall for refreshments served by the DIBA and more music by Murray Centennial and the Trenton Christian School Band. The Frankford Santa Claus parade is lining up to be a big one, as popular as ever. It leaves the arena at 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 30 and winds its way past the Legion where Santa is ready to hand out candy canes to the kids. Then the lights are on in the Frankford Tourist Park with the gorgeous festive decorations of Christmas Fantasy of Lights, thanks to the hard work of many dedicated volunteers. Horse and wagon rides will start from the Trenton DBIA office on King Street on Friday, December 6 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. and run weekends through to Sunday, December 22, from 12 to 3 p.m. Check the schedule on the DBIA website www. downtowntrenton.ca. Santa may even be on board! Drop into the Trenton Town Hall 1861 for refreshments.

awarded at the annual grant ceremony, given to seven distinct recipients in a wide range of fields. In total, the club received 22 applications for projects that were requesting more than $71,000. “Our club does so well in our fundraising efforts that it’s amazing to be able to get everyone in one room and give out all our money, it’s fantastic,” said club president Marc Ray. “The funny thing is we give out $12,000 today, but we probably give out close to $30,000 to Camp Trillium throughout the year.” Recipients this year included; $2,000 to Quinte Conservation for its children’s camp; $2,700 for the Belleville General Hospital Foundation to purchase a sleep chair for parents who stay overnight at the hospital to be with their children; $4,050 to Victim Services to purchase and activate a mobile tracking system to help protect former victims; $392 to Quinte Sailablilty to help support stu-

dent transportation; $750 to help support the Canadian Cancer Society’s 2014 Relay for Life; $400 to the Rotary Club of Tomsk to purchase a laundry machine for the Mothers and Children Charity Centre; and $2,600 to the Arthur Frederick Community Builders to continue a housing project in Mexico. Funds awarded are raised via a number of Rotary fundraising activities throughout the year, and project applications are weighted using a number of factors, including the ability to improve community member’s lives, if the project responds to a real issue, and the ability to potentially build effective networks, among other things. “Because we don’t have a million dollars to give out, we look at how many people it will reach, and what the money will be used for... is it going to be funding a wage, or is it actually going to go right to the cause?” Ray explained. “We

COSSA girls hoops championships decided By Steve Jessel

Sports - Belleville – Central Ontario Secondary Schools Athletics AAA girl’s basketball took centre stage at Nicholson Catholic College on November 14, capped off by a pair of championship matches featuring three local high school teams. On the junior side, the host Nicholson Crusaders took on the St. Theresa Titans in an all-Bay of Quinte ﬁnal, and in a close game the Titans claimed the title with a 40 - 35 victory. The Titans led 23 - 17 at the half and never trailed during the ﬁnal two quarters, led by Alex Sagriff’s 21 points. The Crusaders trailed by

just four points with a 1:30 left in the game, but six consecutive missed free throws by Nicholson in the closing minutes were the deciding factor in the Titans’ win. Nicholson was led by Ciana Bailey with 12 points and Josie Clarey with eight. “They played amazingly today,” said Titans coach Tina Roach. “They’ve improved so much over the season and we can’t ask for anything more.” In the first semifinal from the senior bracket, the host Crusaders lost to Thomas A. Stewart from Peterborough 28 - 17, while the hometown Quinte Saints advanced after a 45 - 40 semifinal

win over Adam Scott. This set up a defensive struggle where the TAS Griffins narrowly escaped Belleville with a 37 - 33 win over the Saints to claim the COSSA AAA championship. “I think we played awesome, we really worked hard on defense and got our offense going in the third quarter,” said Saints coach Liane Woodley. “We had a great year, we finished third in our league and while we didn’t win Bay of Quinte we did come back and won a silver medal at COSSA [today]. Last year we won three games, so I think that’s quite an improvement.” After a low -scoring first quar-

ter ended with the Grifﬁns leading the Saints 8 - 5, TAS began to apply the pressure in the second quarter. The Grifﬁns’ Keirsten Mangold was an absolute force under the net, collecting rebounds and consistently getting good shots at the rim. With some cold shooting the Saints trailed 21 - 9 at the half. However, when the second half got underway, the

Saints’ shooting started to pick up. The Saints’ Brooke Fleming, Roberta Drummond and Elizabeth Drummond combined to outscore the Grifﬁns 19 - 10 in the third quarter, led by Fleming’s 12, and the Saints trailed by just three points heading into the fourth. A spirited effort in the game’s ﬁnal minutes had the Saints as

close as four points with 1:30 remaining, but Quinte couldn’t overcome Mangold’s game-high 18 points and lost by a ﬁnal score of 37 - 33. Fleming led the Saints scorers with 14 points. “I’m really proud of our team, they worked really hard all season and put a lot of dedication into the game,” Woodley said.

Eagles claim COSSA boys volleyball crown By Steve Jessel

Sports – Belleville – The Quinte Christian Eagles continued their run of boy’s volleyball supremacy this past week, as the senior team fought off a resilient Marc Garneau Astros squad to claim the 2013 Central Ontario Secondary Schools Athletics A championship title. “We have a good group of guys here, the last two years have been fun,” said Grade 11 student and player Mark Wikkerink. “It was a great experience today, we fought through some tough games, but we came out with the gold so it’s all good.” After a bit of a feeling out period for both teams to start the first game, the Eagles quickly jumped out to a 12 - 6 lead behind powerful spikes and consistent defensive play. The Astros attempted to mount a comeback, but strong Eagles play around the net and vicious spikes from Wikkerink were too much for the Marc Garneau squad to handle, as Quinte would go on to claim the first game by a score of 25 - 19.

Perhaps feeling a bit complacent, the Eagles were caught on the back foot to open the second game in the best-of-three series. The Eagles dug themselves an early 5 -1 hole after some uncharacteristic mistakes, and the Astros made sure to take advantage. Things looked grim for the home side with the score 12 - 5 and the game in danger of becoming a blowout, but the Eagles buckled down on defense and managed to close the gap to 14 - 11. That’s as close as they would come in the second game however, and the Astros would end up tying the score 1 - 1 after a strong 25 - 16 game two win. Everything was on the line in the final and deciding game three, which is where the Eagles showed the mettle that has seen the senior boys squads claim six of the last seven COSSA A titles. Both teams showed little regard for personal safety as they flung themselves across the court to make spectacular diving saves, but the Eagles began to pull

away. With the score tied 4 - 4 the Eagles rattled off three straight points to force an Astros timeout, and it seemed to make a difference. The Astros would manage to tie the score at 11 - 11, but the Eagles took the next four points to claim the 15 - 11 win and the COSSA championship. “We struggled a little bit without one of our starting middles but the team came together,” said coach Eric Lammers. “It’s nice to keep the tradition going... the team knows what to do when it counts.” The senior squad now heads to Thunder Bay for the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association championship tournament from November 21-23. “We can go pretty far, our potential is really good,” Wikkerink said, when asked about his team’s prospects at OFSAA. “We have lots of great players on the team.” “I wouldn’t put any limits on them,” Lammers added. “They keep proving people wrong, so Quinte’s Mark Wikkerink rises up for a powerful spike during COSSA volleyball action November 13.

Emergency Management Training involves Quinte West’s finest By Kate Everson

News – Quinte West – An emergency training exercise took place inside the warm council chamber on November 14, but the planned disaster scenario involved freezing rain and winter weather. “We do a simulation that feeds information to the emergency control group,” explained Rod Manley of Community Emergency Management Solutions in Peterborough. “This involves fire, police, Public Works, the conservation authority, Hydro One and CFB Trenton.” The scenario was a huge snowfall over a month accumulating to 60 centimetres in the city, plus freezing rain overnight resulting in power outages and fallen lines. “Currently there is no power in all of the downtown area,” he said. The scenario had Public Works staff clearing debris from fallen tree branches and receiving calls that a large tree has fallen onto a car on Quinte Street. “There has just now been a report of

a partial building collapse at Seasons Dufferin Centre retirement home,” he added. Traffic is jamming up along Dundas Street West as the other bridge is closed from lines down on the roads on both sides. Police and Public Works requested the activation due to the implications of a wide spread disaster. A large map is spread out on a table in the council chambers and Quinte West CAO Charlie Murphy calls a scrum for all emergency personnel to deal with the situation. Behind them a screen lists the calls coming into the city. “We try to answer all the calls from residents the best we can,” said Manley. “We want to give people the same answers, not create more confusion. We promise updates as the situation changes.” In the emergency group are Director of Public Health Eric Serwota and Emergency Response Coordinator Deborah Kinsman along with OPP Staff Sergeant Dave Tovell, Public The emergency training group gathers around a map of Quinte West. Chris Angelo shows an area on the map to John Whelan, Charlie Murphy, Sally Freeman and Tim Osborne.

Works director Chris Angelo, the mayor (represented by Councillor Sally Freeman), Fire Chief John Whelan, the city’s manager of Human Resources Tim Osborne as Emergency Information Officer, and MWO Jacques René, Deputy Fire Chief at 8 Wing Trenton and director of finance David Clazie as alternate emergency information officer. “We have to get to the people who are the most vulnerable,” says Whelan. Public Works has closed the roads and is trying to get the plows through. School boards are contacted to open up schools as shelters if needed. Serwota asks about the roof collapsed at the retirement home. The location is shown on the map and it is noted that some residents cannot be transported without the help of ambulance. The Emergency Medical Services are contacted for transport and Ontario Hydro is notified of downed lines. Clazie asks when Public Works can get to homes that need help. Murphy advises that a media release will go out to advise the people. Serwota notes that families need to stay put and in their homes. Whelan adds that children should stay in their schools. It is a tough scenario, but the emergency management group is up to the task. The exercise takes over two hours to wind down, with the phones constantly ringing and the disaster changing by the minute. After lunch the evaluations take place and the group debriefs on a very busy day in Quinte West.

The Jeffrey Drive storm ditch is currently in progress with Behan Construction nearing completion with drainage works. The project is expected to be complete at the end of November. “We will do the sodding and clean-up in the spring,” Colasante added. The committee also approved no parking on one side of Smith Street from Hwy. 2 to Walt Street in Murray Ward, after complaints were received from one residence about parking on the street impeding the flow of traffic. Because the street is so narrow, with no paved shoulders, parking numerous vehicles on the street would be a traffic hazard. “It’s been like that for a hundred years,” Harrison said. Colasante said it is a seasonal problem and one person puts his vehicle on the street. Coun. Jim Alyea said there have been complaints about a tow truck leaving vehicles on the street. Colasante said the OPP support no parking on either side of the narrow street. The committee also approved the installation of a 50-metre high Bell communications tower at 150 Jarvis Rd. One person, Mark Jadoda of 170 Jarvis Rd., had objected to the proximity of the tower to his house which would affect land enjoyment and property value. The tower was relocated 50 metres further from the property, noting it was not possible to move it any more because of technical and site conditions. “Bell said it was the best location to serve the area,” noted Chris Angelo, director Public Works.

Empire Cheese reserve grand champion at Royal Winter Fair

By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills – Empire Cheese rules! The Campbellford-area farmers cooperative collected a pair of ﬁrsts at the Royal Winter Fair for its mild and extra mature cheddar cheese. It also collected two seconds (medium and extra mild), two thirds (marble and Stilton shaped cheddar), and was named reserve grand champion (mild cheddar). “I’m happy, it looks good (for) a small cheese manufacturer to do well against the big guys,” said Empire’s head cheese maker, Mark Erwin. Winning is nothing new for Erwin, who’s garnered numerous ribbons in 30 years of making cheese, including Mark Erwin, head cheese maker at Empire Cheese, displays the mild and extra mature cheddar entries that collected red ribbons at the Royal Winter Fair during the last six years that he’s been Nov. 1-10 in Toronto. The farmers’ cooperative was also named reserve grand champion. The cheeses were judged according to flavour, texture, close- employed at Empire. His marble cheddar was awarded top prize in 2012 and ness, colour and finish. Photo: John Campbell

2011. This year’s performance is the best the company has done at the annual competition held in Toronto since 2008 when it was proclaimed grand champion (Canadian variety cheese) and reserve champion, and earned seven toptwo ﬁnishes, including three ﬁrsts. Erwin said its “consistency in everything we do” that accounts for the cooperative’s stellar showings each year. That includes using good quality fresh milk and “cultures that work,” monitoring closely the acidic, salt and moisture content during the manufacturing process, and then aging the cheese properly afterward. Its products are made the traditional way, in open-style vats. That involves “a lot of manual labour,” turning the Please see “Area” on page B3

Local airman to receive award for bravery Quinte West – News - Canadian Armed Forces Master Corporal (M. Cpl.) Brent Nolasco, currently based at 8 Wing Trenton, is one of four recipients to be honoured at the 12th annual Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) Foundation Awards for Justice and Public Safety Gala, presented by Scotiabank, being held at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver on November 28. Each year, the Awards Gala recognizes and acknowledges individuals and organizations that have made outstanding contributions in the areas of justice, public safety and community leadership.

This year, M. Cpl. Nolasco will receive The JIBC Foundation Heroes and Rescue Award for demonstrating courage in carrying out a difﬁcult or heroic rescue to save another person’s life. M. Cpl. Nolasco was in training to become a Search and Rescue Technician at the Canadian Forces School of Search and Rescue in Comox, B.C., when he found himself responding to a reallife rescue situation in December 2012. It was during the practical portion of the medical phase of his training that a call came in about a car accident in Victoria where a vehicle had ﬂipped over and

“Master Corporal Brent Nolasco is a true hero in every sense of the word.” Upon arrival at the scene, police and firefighters were attempting to turn the vehicle over but to no avail. Seeing that the passenger was still restrained in her seat belt, M. Cpl. Nolasco gave his knife to a police officer so he could cut the strap. Even after the shoulder strap was cut, the female passenger remained trapped. M. Cpl. Nolasco quickly recognized that the young woman was still being restrained by the lap belt. Without hesitation, he retrieved his knife,

entered the frigid water, cut the lap belt and freed the passenger. He then pulled her out of the wreckage, and with the help of the other emergency responders, carried her up the embankment to the ambulance where he performed chest compressions. While en route to hospital, the young woman regained a normal heart rhythm. “Master Corporal Brent Nolasco is a true hero in every sense of the word,” said John Chesman, JIBC Foundation Chair. “His bravery and selﬂess actions, while under such extreme stress, helped to save the life of another human being. Master Corporal Nolasco is a testament to the outstanding calibre of the Search and Rescue Technicians serving the Canadian Armed Forces. We are proud to present him with this award. ” M. Cpl. Nolasco will be attending the Awards Gala in Vancouver to accept his Master Corporal Brent Nolasco, shown here, has been nominated for the JIBC Foundation Heroes and Rescue Award. award.

Stirling - News - In the middle of one of many long rehearsals at the Stirling Festival Theatre, local firefighters arrived to rescue Rapunzel from her tower and provide a brief distraction and a perfect reason to break for lunch. It was a moment of levity for cast and crew last week as an intense work schedule continues in the lead-up to the Christmas Panto opening later this month. Managing Director David Vanderlip admits it is a busy time at the theatre, preparing for both a naughty and family version of Rapunzel: A Hairy Tale before its month-long run begins on November 22, but adds the building is alive with creative energy and the feeling is infective. Working with playwright Ken MacDougall and a team of actors, music directors, set and lighting designers and technical support, Vanderlip notes there are many elements involved in building a show from the ground up and polishing it for performance. And the resulting days can be long, he says.

From her tower at the Stirling Festival Theatre, Rapunzel, played by Kristi Frank, greets local firefighter Andrew Jeffs as he comes to her rescue. Cast and crew were interrupted during a recent rehearsal for the Christmas panto.

And sometimes a little distraction is required. “This is what we’re Midway through a rehearsal last week, Fire Chief Rick Cadsupposed to dick arrived with firefighters Andrew Jeffs, Megan Fargey be doing.” and Derrick Morgan, intent on rescuing the Panto star from “But I actually really like it,” he her fairy tale prison.

above the theatre stage. But after reassurances they were indeed professionals, Rapunzel, played by Kristi Frank, was safely brought back to earth and into the arms of awaiting firefighters. Cast and crew were quick to point cameras and cell phones to record the strange diversion from the script. Immediately after the rescue, Vanderlip consented to a break

for lunch. Rapunzel opens November 22 with shows, both naughty and family oriented, running until the already sold out New Year’s Eve show. Special guest Santa Claus will be attending the opening weekend. Ticket information is available by contacting the box office (613-3952100) or visiting their website at stirlingfestivaltheatre.com

Fiddlers will help Red Cross typhoon relief

Asphodel-Norwood – News - As in they’ve done in the past, the Donegal Fiddlers Orchestra is reaching out to the victims of the devastating Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines which killed over 3,600 people and left, at last estimation, another 1.9 million people homeless. The Donegal Fiddlers will use their December 7 Christmas dance to help raise funds for the Canadian Red Cross. Funds raised by the Red Cross and other charitable organizations working to assist typhoon victims are being matched by the federal government. In the past, the Orchestra has

raised money for Haitian earthquake victims and Habitat for Humanity. They’re inviting anyone who wants to make a donation to the Red Cross Typhoon Haiyan relief fund to come to the town hall December 7. The decision to “lead the local appeal for help in that faraway country” was a natural response, said orchestra member Ron Scott said. “When the need arises we must act quickly.” All proceeds from the dance will go to the Red Cross including cash and cheques especially dedicated to the cause as well as the admission at the door for the dance. “We invite not only our reg-

ular dancers but anyone else who would like to drop by for the evening to stay and have a dance, listen to the music and bring along a little pot luck for lunch at intermission,” said Scott. The concert, he said, will not only be an evening of socializing but a local opportunity to “have a positive effect in this devastated part of the world.” The federal government’s fund-matching program will run until December 9. “Since before the typhoon made landfall, Red Cross teams have been working around the clock to support thousands of people in the storm’s path,”

says Conrad Sauvé, secretary general and CEO of the Canadian Red Cross. Nine banks in Canada are also accepting donations in support of Red Cross relief efforts. The Red Cross has sent its state-of-the-art field hospital to the Philippines. The hospital can cover the health needs of over 100,000 people and treat patients by admitting them in the clinic or through out-patient services. The hospital can treat up to

300 patients a day as out-patients and provide immunization for 1,000 children if needed. It will be deployed by a core team of 12 Canadian medical and support staff and will have additional surgical capacity of up to 70 in-patient beds and will be supported by both material and personnel from the Norwegian and Hong King Red Cross. The organization was on the ground before the storm hit land on November 8 to help evacuate families in coastal areas and

support emergency shelters. Water, sanitation, medicine and shelter are needed immediately; flooding, landslides and damaged infrastructure continue to hamper access to some hard-hit communities. People can also make donations at www.redcross.ca or by calling 1-800-418-1111. Locally, TD Canada Trust, RBC, BMO Financial Group Scotiabank and CIBIC are among the nine banks accepting donations.

Entertainment - A talented seven-member singing cast known as For the Love of a Song are celebrating their seventh year together and are sharing more wonderful music with their audiences including a salute to West Side Story featuring songs like Maria, Tonight, One Hand One Heart and Somewhere (There’s A Place For Us), as well as songs from many other Broadway shows including Crazy for You. Working with their special guests the seven member Bay City Band, the singers are also

performing chart toppers from the 60s, 70s and 80s including tunes by The Mamas & The Papas, Huey Lewis, Bobby Darrin and ABBA. The second half of the show is filled with some of your holiday season favourites. Also joining the cast this year are ten talented performers from Tawny’s School of Dance. All styles including tap are featured as the dancers mold with the singers many times throughout the two-hour production. Philippa Burkholder, Kim Dafoe, Anita Halfpenny, Craig

Parry, Hugh Williams and Al Zaback under the direction of Susan Walsh, are thrilled once again to be staging this production in the beautiful and fully accessible Maranatha Auditorium at 100 College St West, Belleville. Twenty dollar tickets are available at the door with two performances left … Friday, Nov. 29 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, November 30 at 2 p.m. This show is a very important Paula Kirkland of the Donegal Fiddlers Orchestra performs during last year’s Christmas dance. The Orchestra will donate the fundraiser for both the Belleville proceeds from their December 7 concert to the Canadian Red Cross Typhoon Haiyan relief fund. They are encouraging anyone Christmas Sharing Program and who wants to make a donation to the relief fund to drop into the Norwood Town Hall that evening. Photo: Bill Freeman Adopt-A-Child.

Empire Cheese general manager Jack Oliver said the

cooperative’s topnotch record at the Royal Winter Fair is “a great advertising tool. The cheese that we win with is the cheese we make and sell all the time ... It certainly helps us a lot selling cheese.” Oliver said “it’s hard to beat the big guys because they have thousands of (batches) to choose from” when submitting entries.

Starlite Tour kicks off Christmas festival

Stirling - News - Officials and volunteers at the local agricultural museum have been busily preparing for the Christmas season and the return of the Starlite House Tour and Christmas at Farmtown Park this weekend. The House Tour, which features half a dozen local homes spectacularly decorated for the holidays, runs today (Thursday) from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. with many participants expected to arrive at the village’s agricultural museum immediately afterwards for the opening of the Home For the Holidays display in Heritage Village. Organizer Harry Danford, who was one of many involved in the planning and preparation at the museum, says the successful return of the fund raising raffle last year, after being hosted some years before, prompted the decision to make it an annual event. And with more than 60 items available for raffle throughout the weekend, he adds, crowds are anticipated through Friday, Saturday and

Sunday as well. “It’ll be quite something to see all the trees lit up,” he says. With the help of the Christmas festival’s Artistic Director Debbie Cooney, the historical street scene has all the charms of an old time Christmas, Danford says. With three heaters strategically located along the sidewalks, there will be plenty of added warmth as well. “It shouldn’t be too bad in here,” Danford says of the temperature in the usually unheated building, “and there will be places to go and get warm.” Farmtown Park Manager Margaret Grotek says although the museum has been closed for the winter, there has been lots of activity there in the past few weeks. Dozens of artificial trees have been strung with lights and thematically decorated, boxes of toys and baskets of holiday items have been prepared along with other unique items and various displays in the facility’s popular streetscape building. And volunteers have also

refurbished and painted the Farmtown Park Express, a miniature train that will be used at future functions as well, that has been loaded with toys for the weekend. Each item available for raffle will have an accompanying box where tickets can be deposited. Throughout the fourday event that begins tonight, visitors can chose which draws to enter, with the final random selections scheduled

to begin Sunday at 2 p.m. The Starlite House Tour runs tonight from 4 p.m. 9 p.m. with Christmas at Farmtown Park continuing through Friday (noon - 9 p.m.), Saturday (10 a.m. - 6 p.m.) and Sunday from 10 a.m. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards the continued operation of Farmtown Park.

Young Pinnacle Players debut with The Velveteen Rabbit November 28 Events – Belleville - This year’s Christmas show at the Pinnacle Group shot: l to r...Chloe Adams, Madison Davis, (rear) Keziah Heinricks and Playhouse is breaking new ground with a cast and crew of 36 young Ellie Lindenberg. people between the ages of 11 and 18 in the magical production of The Velveteen Rabbit. The play is based on the classic children’s book by Margery Williams that follows the experiences of a stuffed rabbit that becomes real through the love of a child. Some very experienced Belleville Theatre Guild veterans are providing leadership for these young actors as they learn the ropes of all aspects of putting on a theatrical production including stage management, set painting, makeup, dancing and acting. Director Lise Lindenberg says, “This is one of the best groups I’ve has ever directed. With over a month still left of rehearsal time, The Velveteen Rabbit promises to deliver a very polished production. It’s going to be an excellent holiday season outing for the whole family.” These last few weeks will be extremely busy as choreographer AmyLynn Van Londersele helps the actors master their dance routines and costume director Angela MacPherson and her assistant Helen Lindenberg create the imaginative costumes required for the

cast of toys, tree spirits, live rabbits, and human characters. Siobhan Enright, the set designer, assisted by Perry Poupore will be leading the young back stage crew in the fine art of set painting and scene changes. Even the lighting designers, Art MacKay and Jim Alexander, have enlisted the help of some keen teenagers to help with lighting. The Velveteen Rabbit opens on Thursday, November 28th and runs Wednesday to Sunday until Saturday, December 14th. Evening performances will start at 7:30 p.m. and the two Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Ticket prices are $10 for students, $20 for adults and $18 for seniors. According to producer, Heather Muir , there will be one preview performance on Tuesday, November 26th at 7:30 pm for the bargain price of $5.

For the birds: recollections and rambles

Lifestyles - Fred Helleiner is hard to miss at Presqu’ile Provincial Park. His trademark rusty bicycle often can be found leaning against a tree somewhere, its owner nearby scanning the beaches for shorebirds, his spotting scope slung over his shoulder. If there is no snow on the ground, he will be wearing sandals. Fred is something of an icon at Presqu’ile since moving there 14 years ago, following his retirement from Trent University, as professor in the Department of Geography, a department which he founded. His weekly bird report is circulated to 2,000 or more subscribers to the Ontario Birds Bird Alert listserv and is also carried on the NatureStuff website. Needless to say, if it is a bird, and is in the park, Fred soon knows about it. With so many years of birding under his belt from the age of 12, it is appropriate that Fred should write a book on his hobby, from its “fledgling” beginnings when birdwatching was considered a namby pamby pursuit, favoured by elderly spinsters, retired teachers and school boys on a hike. His book, “For the Birds: Recollections and

Rambles”, is just that – a memoir on his life as a birder, looking back to some of those earlier days and the friendships he made with fellow birders, some of them renowned like Fred Bodsworth, Jim Baillie, Ron Scovell, and Jim Woodford, all of whom I had also met when I was a young birder. That he was able to extract his most memorable experiences and get them in a book of only 71 pages must have been a challenge. However, he tackled the job admirably, the result being a chronicle of his life as a birder. Fred admits that, despite his many years of birding, he does not keep a life list, preferring to concentrate his efforts closer to home, namely Presqu’ile Park. This did not prevent him however, from driving to Milford to see a black-bellied whistling duck from Texas, or a northern wheatear on Wolfe Island. His earlier trips as a teen birder in Toronto and Peterborough involved more effort, and he often depended on the generosity of others to take him birding somewhere. Long ago, he saw the advantage that a bicycle would have in furthering his efforts in finding new birds and he used it to access birding areas that

previously had been beyond reach. On one exhausting trip, he relates, he biked from Hamilton to Burlington with a cohort to see a western grebe that had been reported there. Of course, the bird failed to appear, but he had better luck on another trip to see an American Avocet. The entire book is sprinkled with similar anecdotes. A Frazier TV episode came to mind when he related a rite known as the snipe hunt. His perpetrators sadistically told him to sit quietly in the dusk surrounded by mosquitoes and wait patiently for the snipe to appear, which, of course, they never did. As a young gullible birder, his early life was riddled with similar experiences, all at his expense. Birdwatching was the target of ridicule when binoculars were stuffed under jackets to escape public view, and not the respected, popular pastime that it is today. I was also reminded of my own experiences as a field trip leader when birders will obediently follow me like sheep, even as I head for an outhouse. In his book, Fred commented that birding in earlier years in his birding circle was a male dominated hobby.

Finally permitting a female to join their group once in Toronto, she sought to become a “groupie” of one well known birder who was looking for a reported great gray owl and refused to give this birder the much needed opportunity to relieve himself behind a tree. Only one reliable field guide available then – Peterson’s (and Fred admits to having memorized it from cover to cover), sub-standard binoculars, and a general lack of acceptance to birding as a legitimate hobby, things have sure changed in recent years. Fred, in his closing chapter, The Next Generation, mentions a number of younger birders who have given him reason to look forward to the future of birding with optimism. He is understandably moved by the enthusiasm of many of the younger birders he sees entering the park, reminding him of the days when he, too, was starting out as teen birder. If I were to mention two of the birders who stand out that Fred remembers as very young birders who have gone on to do great things, they would be Ian Shanahan and Doug McRae, two of the most respected birders in Presqu’ile Park today.

Fred laments that some of these new birders will no longer be able to see bobwhites, nor access the shrinking number of public birding areas, as he did as a youth. However, species uncommon to him in his youth can now readily be found as they expand their range. “If anything I have said or done while interacting with young people will inspire them to develop the all consuming passion for birding that has so enriched my own life, then I will feel greatly satisfied.” “For the Birds: Recollections and Rambles”, by Fred Helleiner, is available at $20 at Out on a Limb in Brighton, and can be ordered directly from the author at 186 Bayshore Rd., Brighton, Ontario K0K 1H0 (add $2.50 for postage) All profits are being donated to the Friends of Presqu’ile’s 25th Anniversary Environmental Fund, which sponsors long-term projects like the eradication of invasive species.

The Canadians bought “a winter’s worth of potatoes and carrots” for families who survive on what they can salvage at a landfill, and they took a group of university students to dinner and gave them supplies to help with their education. They also treated children in one orphanage to a fun night and took another group to a water park and restaurant. The sad lives Rutter regularly witnessed made for an “emotional” stay that still causes him to well up when discussing what he saw. But he also saw glimpses of hope that “they’re turning the corner,” although “it’s a daunting task.” The university students, for example, “are going to change the world,” he said, and there’s evidence of an “entrepreneurial spirit” taking hold. “They’re just wonderful people.” Rutter said if he had been asked a day after he got back home if he would ever return to Kyrygzstan, he would have answered never again and opt to send money instead.

News - Trent Hills – Helping the people of Kyrygzstan, who have so little, “was an incredible experience,” says Trent Hills Chief Administrative Officer Mike Rutter. “It really does change you in how you see the world.” For one, it gave him a renewed appreciation of how “lucky” he is to live where he does and “have the best job in the world,” but it also led him to ask: “Why are we so blessed?” He discovered during his 10 days in the central Asian country how few blessings are enjoyed by many of that impoverished country’s citizens. After the Soviet Union collapsed, people’s jobs disappeared as factories closed “and there was no social safety net,” Rutter said. “They work so hard trying to make ends meet.” But corruption is rampant and alcoholism is a big problem (“vodka is cheaper than water”), and there’s “just a hopeless feeling. “It’s a country that forgot God,” he said. “I hope our society never does that ... because I think it has devastating results.” Rutter encountered Third World-like conditions in Tokmok, the city where he stayed as a member of a team providing humanitarian aid to local residents.

DART team continues deployment to typhoon-ravaged Phillipines By Ross Lees

News - Disaster Assistance Response team (DART) members continued to deploy from 8 Wing Trenton last Wednesday night to help the typhoon-ravaged Phillipines. Destined to finally touch down in the city of Iloilo in the Phillipines, the CC-177 Globemaster III aircraft was loaded with Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel and an assortment of equipment to help out with the

humanitarian operation, according to Major General Jim Ferron, Commanding Officer of the 1st Canadian Division based in Kingston, Ontario. “We need to get some engineering capability in there to start clearing away some of the rubble so that we can bring in some of our medical assets, so we’re bringing a group of engineers with a command and control capability to set those conditions we need to really get this job done,” he noted as the flight

was preparing for takeoff around 9 p.m. Wednesday night. Sixty CAF personnel from all across Canada were loaded on the aircraft with equipment and Maj. Gen. Ferron said Canadians can be proud of the response of their men and women in uniform who came forward to get this effort underway. He said the Canadian Armed Forces would continue to move personnel and equipment into the storm-damaged country to solidify the plan currently in place. “I recognize that you can never be fast enough for an operation like this, but we’re putting in place the mechanism so that we get in. We’re prepared and we’ll truly make a difference to the Phillipine people,” he told The Contact. The DART is a multidisciplinary military organization designed to deploy on short notice anywhere in the world in response to situations ranging from natural disasters to complex humanitarian emergencies. It is one component in Canada’s toolkit to respond to natural disasters abroad. The DART is equipped to conduct emergency relief operations for up to approximately 40 days to bridge the gap until national and international aid agencies can arrive to provide long-

term help. Working alongside local authorities and other international organizations and agencies, DART acts as a stabilization measure until regular services are restored. Mobility of the DART is supported by the CC-177 Globemaster III, which helps provide everything from the rapid delivery of troops and cargo transport to oversized equipment anywhere in the world. Maj. Gen. Ferron, 8 Wing Commander Col. David Lothian, and 8 Wing Operations Officer, Lt.-Col. Christian Roy, were all at the tarmac and in the deploying aircraft to meet with the men and women in uniform responding to the crisis success. “They’re very motivated to get

going and I was just so proud of them as we put them on board,” Maj. Gen. Ferron stated. “There’s a medical crisis there and one of the areas we hope to make a difference is in the provision of fresh water, so we’re bringing in our reverse osmosis water purification units (ROWPU) to do some of that work with the engineers clearing the way and then (we will be) bringing a very focussed medical team in to start helping out in some of the areas that really need the help.” While onboard the aircraft to speak to the departing personnel, Maj. Gen. Ferron pointed to a large front-end loader and said, “That baby will make a big difference.”

TRAVEL

Utrecht’s unique canals and wharf cellars

Taking a canal cruise in Utrecht.

Lifestyles - My fondest memory of my visit to Utrecht in the Netherlands is of its plethora of wharf cellars that are still found along its inner city canals. These intriguing structures were built back in the Middle Ages, when Utrecht was an important trade centre, and they provided great storage facilities right at water level. I discovered that these wharf cellars, with their pedestrian walkways, are unique to this Dutch city, and a series of staircases lead from these pedestrian quays up to the street level, providing the visitor with a two-level street system along the canals. I explored this unique area of Utrecht on foot and by boat and I was struck by both its practicality and its beauty. I saw many reminders of its bygone Middle Age era and even of earlier times (after all, a Roman fortress was built here as early as about 47 AD). I also saw many low bridges along these canals (including some swing bridges), parked boats (there’s a waiting list for ‘parking space’ along the canals), boat rentals (including pedal boats and canoes), bicycles (there are more bicycles than motor vehicles found in the inner core of the city), hidden gardens, and a great variety of architecture, both old and new. I even witnessed people carrying very heavy refrigerators, furniture, and supply items from the street level to the canal level, via the stairs! Most of the old wharf storage facilities have now been converted into boutiques, craft shops, bars and restaurants, so I just had to check out some of these for myself. It’s interesting to explore these ancient cellars and see how so many of them

have been redesigned and reused today. For example, I found that the Ouden City Castle, an ancient fortresslike house located right in the heart of the city, now has a brewery in its old wharf cellar. I even dined in one of these mediaeval cellars, now converted into a “Restaurant Humphreys”. I discovered just how enormous and dark some of these storage facilities actually were. I also found out ﬁrst hand, just how much food was served here, for I could hardly believe the amount I was given and I couldn’t eat more than half of my portion! As I did my touring of Utrecht’s canals and wharf cellars, I also discovered many of its other incredible tourist attractions. For example, it would be almost impossible to miss the city’s Domtower, the highest church tower in the Netherlands, which soars above Cathedral Square. It’s possible to ascend its 465 steps for a fantastic view of the city. In addition to this landmark, I also visited the interior of St. Martin’s Church, which was hit by a freak tornado back in 1674, collapsing its nave which was never rebuilt. I also checked out Hoog Catharijne (one of Europe’s largest indoor shopping centres), Catharijne Convent The highest church tower in the Netherlands. (now a museum located in a beautiful mediaeval convent), Museum Speelklok (with its collection of Carlson Wagonlit/G. Stewart Travel Services musical instruments that is pleased to welcome play automatically), Centraal Museum (containing the world’s largest Rietveld TO OUR TEAM! collection, including the Sue has 35+ years in the industry and a wealth of travel Rietveld chair),the Rietveld knowledge to help you plan your dream vacation!

The “Trajectum Lumen”, a night light trail through the city centre, is another notto-be-missed highlight. This year marked the 300th anniversary of the “Treaty of Utrecht”, a global peace treaty that brought stability to Europe. It was signed here on Apr. 11, 1713, so a number of special events took place in Utrecht this year to celebrate this tercentenary, including the unveiling of a commemorative coin and special concerts, exhibitions and conferences.

LIFESTYLES

Reality Check:

Sheila Wray Gregoire By Sheila Wray Gregoire

Lifestyles - I love to-do lists and organization planners. I have Excel spreadsheets for household chores and the business tasks I need to complete on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. On good days, when I don’t hit the snooze button, I actually get most of those things done. There’s only one problem. I have no margins in my life. If I’m super organized and super energetic, it is possible to keep my house clean and to get all my work done and, hopefully, to head to the grocery store before we’re stuck discovering that all we have in the cupboards are tins of cranberry sauce and tuna. But if an emergency comes up,

Is being a double income family worth the stress? I’m in trouble. My husband works more than fulltime, and my writing and speaking require my full-time attention and too much travel. Because I write primarily on marriage, it’s also really hard to neglect mine, or that “hypocrite” word might get tossed around. And with my oldest now flown the coop, I’m trying to spend as much time as I can with my youngest before she leaves, too. Life is simply busy. Pretty much everyone feels that way. But I think one of the biggest sources of stress isn’t the amount of work on our plate; it’s that nagging feeling that one more straw is going to cause the whole thing to come crashing down. We used to have some buffer in our

lives. At one time women were home to bring dinners to friends in the hospital, or to take parents to doctors’ appointments, or to care for a sister’s child if said sister caught a disgusting intestinal bug. Today few of us have people we can rely on. And what’s perhaps even worse is that we aren’t able to be there for those that we love, either. When my cousin had a baby recently and needed help, I wasn’t in the position to go. What kind of life are we leading if we don’t have the room to be there for those that we love? Yet my problem doesn’t stop there. What if, in all of our chaos of making more money, we’re actually missing out on a “good life”? A “good life” has to involve little touches of creativity and

The Good Earth: By Dan Clost

Lifestyles - O&S#1 Leaves: I know I tend to run on about this but it does surprise me to see so many bags of leaves sitting on the curb. Fortunately, they’ll go to a municipal compost pile where the black gold (carbon) can be returned to this good earth. Next spring, that carbon needs to be replaced and folks run out to garden centres and

nurseries to buy fertiliser, compost and other stuff (sounds good on the late night infomercials). Time has been spent, money has been spent, and unnecessary resources (e.g. the plastic bags holding the compost) have been used all to replace something they threw out a few short months ago. As it happens, I do toil away at a garden centre and will cer-

beauty: that home-cooked meal instead of the barbecued chicken we picked up on the way home; those refinished dressers instead of the Ikea assemble-yourself plywood; the crocheted baby afghans. One of the things I miss most lately is the joy of friends coming for dinner, an event which is quite difficult if you’re never home to cook dinner, let alone to clear a path to the dining room table. My business started off extremely part time, but it has mushroomed, for which I am grateful. My husband is doing well at his job, for which I am proud. Yet I am not certain that this is the life I want. If I have no room for emergencies, and little room for beauty and hospitality and fun, then what is the point?

Time to get ready for winter tainly not turn away sales. But, I would rather fill my corporate master’s coffers with coins proffered for other reasons. O&S#2 Impatiens and Downy Mildew: It will be very interesting to see what happens next spring; I confess that I haven’t got a clue as to how the markets will respond. There is no doubt that this was likely the last year for us to have complete confidence that our Impatiens walleriana is disease free. There will be some suppliers with clean stock, I’m sure, but all of the gardening gurus and growers magazines are advising that we select alternatives. Fortunately, this is an annual plant so the growers can quickly respond to the expected changes. We gardeners will have many new choices next spring which can give us some pleasant hours “designing” our new flower beds. O&S#3 Emerald Ash Borer: There are lots and lots of material available about this little critter. It will have a devastating impact on our ash trees, which is the most prevalent deciduous tree species in the province. That means we need to select other trees for our landscapes. There are many choices available, including native species such as Celtis occidentalis, Hackberry, but I advise you to gen up on their bio’s. Hackberry is probably the closest in terms of form and function but it will require more attention towards formative pruning. O&S#4 Christmas trees: A pet peeve here, I sell Christmas trees, not Happy Festive Holiday Feel Good Today trees. The trees are arriving in outlets across our area and, judging by the ones at our store, they are looking very good this year. Just so you know, unless you go to a cut your own place, almost all of the trees were cut in November, with many being bundled up in October. Scots Pine, which doesn’t need a

The dual income family is now the norm, and that won’t change. Certainly we could all lower our expectations and work less. The reduction in stress is likely worth the reduction in income. Yet that is not always easy to do. And in the meantime, there is no one left to “keep the home fires burning”. We women felt undervalued when we were “just housewives”, but gradually, as most women work, more and more of us are realizing just how valuable having someone at home was. That spouse didn’t just care for the kids and do the housework; that spouse gave you that buffer, that margin, that made life liveable. I can’t give up a business I’ve spent years creating, but in the meantime, I could really use a wife.

triggering frost to switch it over to dormant mode, is the first species cut. I got that from our contact with Somerville Nurseries, aka Kris Kringle Christmas Trees; the things you learn, eh? It is far too early to bring a tree indoors and expect it to last the entire season; but, it is not too early to buy one. Pick the one you like and keep it outdoors, out of the wind. Don’t cut the bottom. It will be fine when you are ready to bring it indoors. O&S#5 Winter mulch: this is a task that too few of us do correctly. Winter mulch is used to keep the cold in. So, don’t apply it until there is some cold in the ground: an added benefit of waiting is that all of the critters who might nestle down close to a winter food supply will have moved on looking for warmer digs. . That doesn’t mean you have to wait until there’s an

inch of frost but it does mean that the surface should be crispy. You can have a pile of dry leaves waiting to place on top of semi hardy shrubs such as Zone 6 hydrangeas, butterfly bush and garden mums. If you’ve pruned up junipers or other conifers, place the boughs around the bottoms of rhododendrons, kalmia, pieris etc., the shallow-rooted really expensive specimens in your beds. O&S#6 Remembrance Day column: Thank you for all of your comments on last week’s column. I would like the veterans and serving members to know that responses to that column indicate a deep undercurrent of pride and gratefulness on the part of Canadians. I think it’s sort of like hockey, moose, and maple syrup-imbedded within our national psyche to the extent that it is part of us.

First Walk for Memories in Trenton

By Kate Everson

Quinte West – News - This year, for the first time, the Alzheimer Society is organizing a Walk for Memories in Trenton. “The event will be on Sunday, January 19, 2014,” says Hannah Brown, Fund Development Coordinator. Walk for Memories is a fundraising event and an opportunity for people in the community to come together in support of local individuals and families living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. “Hosting this event in Trenton will give us a unique opportunity to recognize the Alzheimer’s disease support communities that have developed in Quinte West and Brighton,” Brown says. This event will provide an excellent opportunity to increase awareness around the many programs and services available to people in these communities. “The number of people

we serve in Quinte West and Brighton has doubled over the past year,” Brown notes. “As an area where a large portion of the population is seniors we expect that number to continue growing.” With less than 24 per cent of the organization’s annual budget funded by the government, it relies on the money raised at events such as Walk for Memories. These funds provide critical programs and services to individuals and families in the community. “January is Alzheimer Month and we would like to partner with you to help us advocate the need for greater education and support in the community for people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias,” Browns says. The Alzheimer Society of Belleville-Hastings-Quinte is located in the Bay View Mall at 470 Dundas St. W. in Belleville. Call 613-962-0892 or go to alzheimersocietyofbhq. com for information.

Wealth of history explored that attracts over three million visitors a year as a prime example of what kind of potential historical events can have on a community’s economy. “I think there’s a real appetite for this, otherwise you wouldn’t have the history channel,” Lockyer said. “They exist as businesses because there’s a business in history. “We have the history as a dormant resource, why don’t we tell these stories to the world.” The 2013 series premieres tonight at the Empire Theatre at 7 p.m. and tickets are $10 at the door. For more information on the History Moments Series, visit their website at www.historyliveshere.ca.

Santa Claus is coming to Deseronto Events - Deseronto’s Santa Claus parade takes place this Saturday, November 23rd at 6:30 p.m. View the parade route at www.deseronto.ca. Don’t miss the Town Tree lighting ceremony, Christmas carols, visits with Santa and complimentary refreshments following the parade in Rathbun Park. Deseronto Food Bank donations of non-perishable food items will be collected along the parade route by Deseronto Public School students; the generosity of spectators is greatly appreciated. The assistance of volunteers is needed for the collection of donations. Join in the fun and enter a ﬂoat! Registration forms are available at www.deseronto.ca or contact the town hall at 613-396-2440, dvalentyne@deseronto.ca for ﬂoat or volunteer inquiries.

The 2013 History Moments Series explores local history through short video vignettes detailing significant moments and people. This photo from the Community Archives of Belleville and Hastings County shows a parade in Belleville in 1899 for the arrival of the Governor General. Photo: Submitted Belleville - News - History comes alive tonight in Belleville when the 2013 History Moments Series hits the big screen at the Empire Theatre beginning at 7 p.m., and producer Peter Lockyer said he has big ideas about what the future could hold for historybased tourism in the region. “I would like to see us get into the history business,” Lockyer, a former CBC Radio and Television broadcaster said. “There are many communities in the world that make money out of their history... to me, we could do this here.” Tonight, the History Moments Series will explore just a small piece of the vast history surrounding the region, through a series of short, 2-minute video vignettes. After the premiere, the videos will be distributed for play at local theatres, on TV Cogeco, CKWS Television in Kingston and to local schools, archives and libraries, all in the interest of promoting local history. Some of the 2013 series highlights include segments on Belleville’s Mackenzie Bowell, the ﬁfth prime minister of Canada, Belleville doctor James Bertram Collip’s contributions to the discovery of insulin and the history of the venerable Belleville Club. “Not everybody in the series made headlines or won awards,” Lockyer said. “We have stories of ordinary people who lived quiet, decent hardworking lives like most of us, but they did something extraordinary.” While the series is now entering its ﬁfth

year, Lockyer explained that an annual production wasn’t always the plan. After returning to his hometown of Picton around the year 2000, Lockyer said he had taken on an interest of his father’s, which was to restore and maintain a local cemetery. After learning more about the project, Lockyer said he began to think the cemetery had some assets that were not being fully utilized, most notably a glut of history chronicling scores of individuals who made a meaningful impact on the history of the region. After a fundraising campaign to restore the cemetery far exceeded his expectations by raising over $90,000, walking tours and a lecture series were

quick to follow. In 2009, the 225th anniversary of Loyalist settlement in Prince Edward County, Lockyer created the ﬁrst History Moments Series. “[We said] we’ll just do it once, to celebrate Loyalist settlement,” Lockyer laughed, reﬂecting on the start of the series. “It really registered with people...I’m not trying to tell you the whole story, because I want you to go to the museums and get the rest of the story yourself, but I am trying to engage you in the local history that is all around us.” Looking ahead to the future, Lockyer said the potential utilization of local history as a resource was huge. Lockyer pointed to Gettysburg, a small town of just over 7,000

Seniors must be vigilant

By Bill Freeman

Hastings – News - Fraudsters and scam artists target seniors because of their trusting nature and that’s why vigilance should be the number one defence against conﬁdence tricksters, police say. “They target seniors because of your trusting nature,” Northumberland OPP Const. Karen German said during a fraud presentation at the Hastings Civic Centre last week. The presentation, which drew a large crowd, was hosted by the Trent Hills Community Policing Committee. The presentation was timely given the wave of “grandparent scam” attempts and the fact that Trent Hills residents have been victims. Const. German and Const.

Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre lists at least 30 different types of frauds and scams. While seniors are a large target group, there is “no typical victim,” Const. German said. Anyone can be deceived. “They will go where the money is. They want your money. If they take from you once they will go after you again.” The officers talked about frequently used scams including computer repairs, home repairs, the big prizelottery scam, advance fee letter fraud and cheque overpayment fraud. The grandparent or emergency scam is the one that is often used, the two officers said. They’ve both seen examples in Trent Hills. “I deal a lot with emergency scams,” Const. German said. “It plays on a person’s sympathies and emotions.” “Grandparent scams are top of the list for frauds on seniors,” Const. Bates agreed. In the “grandparent scam” the scammer attempts to convince the victim that a loved one is hurt or in trouble and needs immediate financial assistance to remedy or improve the situation. The callers usually have no information about the loved one and use a series of leading questions to fill in the blanks while preying on the victim’s sense of concern. “Calm yourself down” when you get a call like that,” Const. Gorman said. “Ask personal questions only a (loved one) would know.” If they can’t answer those questions accurately hang up the phone and call the police,

she said. “The phone is a very frequent way to get information from seniors,” Const. Bates said, noting that an 86-yearold Hastings resident was a recent target with the caller asking increasingly personal questions in an effort to squeeze him for information. Always guard your personal information, they stressed. “He called the OPP which is the right thing to do,” Const. Bates said. “If you don’t know the person or recognize the number that should be a red ﬂag immediately. “If you don’t know the number why would you waste the time talking?” Seniors who use computers should be equally vigilant, they added. Policing Committee chair Lilian Adams said the presentation was very informative. “It was very important because of the seniors around here,” Adams said. “I get those calls all the time; it makes you nervous.” Adams said she was victimized a couple of years ago and sent money in response to a call. “I am guilty. You’re naïve and as you get older it’s so easy to be taken.” Adams said information is power and the more people learn about frauds the safer they will be. “I think these presentations are terriﬁc, especially in a small town.” Seniors should not be embarrassed to call police. “Don’t be afraid to call us,” said Const. Gorman.

Anti-submarine boats travelled Trent-Severn to engage German U-boats in Second World War

By John Campbell

largest navy in the world, with 378 ships. The Fairmile was the second-most common, behind the corvette. Hunter Boats was one of ﬁve boatyards in Ontario chosen to build the motor launches using prefabricated kits. At 112 feet in length, they were short enough to ﬁt inside the locks between Orillia and Trenton (they couldn’t head north to Georgian Bay, which was closer, because they were too long for the marine railway at Big Chute). Among the many photos Brunger included in his presentation were a few showing the Fairmiles docked in Campbellford, taken by Frank Linton, who later served as mayor of the town. Brunger said there are no records of a Fairmile ever having destroyed a U-boat with its depth charges, but by 1943 the German submarines were on the defen-

sive and the motor launches “had a role in patrolling, which must have been effective, so it was a good idea to build them.” After the war, “the government was so anxious to get cash and to reduce the navy because it didn’t need 300-odd ships, it sold them for ﬁre sale prices,” Brunger said. Fairmiles were sold for just $3,500, even though they had cost $70,000 to build. On a separate note, Probus Club president Bill Hogle announced that the newly formed group had set a cap on membership at 150 people, which was reached during the meeting held Nov. 13 at St. John’s United Church auditorium. Anyone interested in joining will be put on waiting list Alan Brunger chats with Trent Hills Probus Club vice-president Art Linton before giving a talk on antibut must have a sponsor to become a submarine boats that travelled on the Trent-Severn Waterway during the Second World War en route to the Battle of the St. Lawrence.

Campbellford – Warships made their way along the Trent-Severn Waterway more than 70 years ago to do battle with the dreaded German U-boats during the Second World War, members and guests of the Trent Hills Probus Club learned during a presentation last week. “There was a real problem with submarine activity (which came to be) called the Battle of the St. Lawrence because so many of the sinkings were actually in Canadian territory,” Alan Brunger, a retired Trent University professor, told the club. He’s written about this little-known chapter of Canadian military history in a paper, Warships in the Waterway that was published by the Peterborough Historical Society and released just before Remembrance Day. It tells the story of seven Fairmile anti-submarine motor launches built in Orillia by Hunter Boats Ltd. from 1941 to 1944. The only way they could reach the wartime theatre of activity in the Atlantic Ocean from a shipyard on Lake Couchiching was via the Trent-Severn to Lake Ontario, which took them past Campbellford in their four-day journey southward. Canada “was crucial in supplying Britain with all sorts of food, armaments (and) materials” but the ships were favourite targets of U-boats, which sank many of them in the St. Lawrence estuary and beyond, Brunger said. It got so bad – a ferry was torpedoed in 1942 killing more than 140 civilians – that “there was terriﬁc pressure on the government to issue these contracts to build all sorts of ships” in response to the German threat, Brunger said. At the start of the war, the Royal Canadian Navy only had 13 ships, but by 1945 it had grown to become the fourth

Batawa Ski Hill is making snow earlier than ever before

By Kate Everson

News - The Batawa Ski Hill’s new Operations Manager, Danny MacDuffie, says, “It is plain and simple, cold means snow.” And with the first real cold snap of the season, Batawa Ski Hill is making snow earlier than ever before. At 11:15 p.m. on Monday November 11, 2013 the snow guns fired up and made snow until mid-day on Tuesday. “We will fire the guns up again tonight

and probably Wednesday night as well,” said MacDuffie. There will not be enough snow to open, but making snow at every opportunity will mean that the hill should be open for it planned grand opening on December 14. “The goal is to have most, if not all, of the hill open before Christmas so that families will have a great place to play through the holidays,” said General Manager Andrew Rusynyk. “I

am so happy to have MacDuffie and his Outside Operations crew here this year. The hill is as ready as it has ever been to open for the winter fun season.” MacDuffie came to Batawa Ski Hill in late of August and brings over 25 years of Ski Resort Operations Management in Ontario. He is a Certified Lift Mechanic as well as a millwright, diesel mechanic and a welder who has built high rises and factories, in addition to making snow

and getting people to the top of ski hills. Raised on a farm outside Collingwood, the ski industry was a way of life as his father, Russell MacDuffie, worked for the Welder family developing Blue Mountain back in the 60s, 70s and 80s. “I started working at Blue Mountain at 13 years old in operations, lifts, maintenance and whatever else they would let me do. After high school I left to work as a welder and fitter at the shipyards for four years.” Then after a stretch out west and working in the trades for a few years, he realized that something was missing. It was the ski industry. He got back into the ski biz with a job at Craiglieth Ski Club as the Maintenance Manager. In his 11 years at the Craigleith he was the first non-member to receive the President’s Award. His work within the ski industry has also taken him to other resorts like Talisman, Cedar Highlands, Calabogie Peaks and Pine Ridge Ski Club. “I have enjoyed building small ski hills into larger four season venues,” says MacDuffie. In 1979, he met his wife Susan. They have three children that come to visit Batawa frequently. When he came across the Outside Operations job at Batawa Ski Hill, he thought this would be a great place to finish out his career in the ski business. “So far my wife and I love it. It is a very special

community and living right in Batawa has been awesome,” laughs MacDuffie. “This whole area is so friendly that it sometimes seems unreal in comparison to what we have seen in the past.” The new team at Batawa Ski Hill shares MacDuffie’s belief that it’s important to take the guests’ fun seriously. “I am happy to be part of this great new team that Heather Candler, Batawa General Manager, has assembled. I’m really excited for this season to get started,” notes MacDuffie. Working with a team of great people, combined with the new investments in hill night lighting, chalet renovations and other hill improvements, have made this an exciting year to join the ski hill team. And the dropping temperatures bode well for a great winter. The Ski Hill is now in its last month of season pass discount sales. Beginning December 2 the full season pass rates kick in so community members are encouraged to get their passes before the end of November. Registrations have begun for the ski and snowboard lessons beginning over the Christmas holidays. For more information or to book lessons, contact 613-398-6568 or admin@ batawaskihill.com.
