By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The second annual Big Christmas Food Hamper Raffle is raising funds for Community Partners for Success resource centres and childcare programs. “The first prize is a large, organically grown fresh turkey,� said Executive Director Terry Cassidy. “I raised it myself.� It also comes with a roasting pan, platter, chocolate and wine, trim and fixings with a value of $300. “Last year Joanne Rose won it and donated it back to the Frankford resource centre,� says Cassidy. “We froze it and cooked it in February for the whole community.�

Second prize is two organically grown chickens, three dozen organic eggs, wine, apple cider, chocolate, cheese, trim and fixings, valued at $175. Third prize is one organically grown chicken, a dozen organic eggs, wine, apple cider, chocolate, cheese, trim and fixings, valued at $125. “The draw is December 22, just in time for Christmas,� Cassidy said with a smile.

The tickets are $2 each or three Auxiliary constables Bret Polan and Alex MacLean, Santa Claus (in the red suit), Constable Jeff Scott (dog handler) and Inspector Mike Reynolds collect food in the back of their cruisers outside Smylies for $5 and can be picked up at Please see “Director� on page 4

work one to one with them to set goals and they can do fantastic things, good things.�

He said the organization represents hope. It offers programs for families with young kids to help them parent better and provide a safe place while parents work. Each centre has a kitchen to nurture families by teaching them how to cook nutritious food on whatever budget they have. “One lady saw a butternut squash for the first time,� he said. “We showed her how to cook it.�

Chris Stevenson said they also help parents whose children are having problems at school. “We actually go to schools and talk to them so everything runs smoothly,� she said.

Cassidy added that once families leave the program they can still come back for advice any time. “We never close our doors,� he said. “Life can be a struggle. Twelve weeks can’t make up for 25 years. They need to see we care.�

any Community Partners for Success centre in Belleville, Trenton, Frankford or Stirling, as well as Bayshore Credit Union branches in Belleville, Trenton or Frankford or at QuintEssential Credit Union in Belleville or Trenton.

Community Partners for Success is a not-for-profit charitable organization that operates four resource centres and three child care centres. “Our Stirling Centre needs some renovations,� Cassidy adds. “We are looking for volunteers to help out.�

The renovations would allow them to develop more child care options and better utilize the resource space.

However, they have a very limited budget, probably just enough to purchase materials. The work needed is to install fire-rated drywall over existing walls, minor plumbing and carpentry work to renovate two washrooms and reinstall a dropped ceiling to meet the fire and building codes. “We are hoping to organize a work bee with a number of experienced volunteers to get the work done before the end of the year,� Cassidy said. “We know it is a busy time of year, but it may help us start the new year on a healthy foot. The gift of your time and skill will benefit families in the community.�

Anyone wishing to help out can contact 613-921-5745 or email <cpfs@ kos.net> at the centre.

Chris Stevenson is the operations manager who will be taking over as executive director when Terry Cassidy retires. She is already very busy learning all the skills for her new role. Cassidy has been director for 20 years and hopes to retire soon.

The charitable organization was first formed in 1998. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We help people get back to work if they are on disability or Social Assistanceâ&#x20AC;? Cassidy notes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Staff

DBIA introduces Steel City Rovers to city hall

By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The Steel City Rovers made their debut at city hall on December 3, as part of the DBIA Christmas celebrations.

“They’re a great band,” said DBIA chair Pat Clark.

The band performed in the council chambers after the Jingle Bell Walk and opening of the Nativity Celebration.

Students from Trenton Christian School and Murray Centennial School sang for the crowds in Fraser Park’s Christmas Fantasy and on the steps inside city hall. DBIA office administrator Jane Collett-MacDonald and member Wendy Ouellette poured hot chocolate and hot cider and offered plates of cookies for the families.

“We decided to add some Celtic

music this year,” said Pat Clark with a smile.

The Steel City Rovers are from Hamilton and have performed here at the Trenton Scottish-Irish Festival. The band consists of Ryan McKenna on lead vocals, accordion and washboard, Joel McKenna on guitar and vocals, Mark Fletcher on whistles, small pipes, accordion, guitar and mandola, Jess Gold was on drums and percussion and Dreadlocks Dave Neigh on the fiddle and vocals. The small crowd loved the musicians who played Celtic as well as their own Christmas songs.

“This is the first time we played in a council chamber,” said Mark “the Silver Fox” Fletcher, “but it was a near perfect setup for a concert. A fun crowd, and we had a blast! Thanks Trenton!”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, Some time ago your editor expressed regret that some letters to the editor were unsigned by their authors and therefore were unsuitable to reproduce in his paper.

He proceeded to blast said writers as lacking concern by being unwilling to sign their name to their letter.

Well, during the last 18 months of Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC) hearings over

Wyley is â&#x20AC;&#x153;semi-concernedâ&#x20AC;?

Stirling policing matters, Wyley has written several signed letters to the editor which have been greeted with applause and/or booing. (Not quite as bad as when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re critical of Ontario Hydro nuclear operatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; salaries, however.)

The protracted hearing in the little village with the big heart did ďŹ nally result in a judgement which kicked out, forcibly removed, degraded, humbled, shamed, etc., etc., the

local hero/villain, depending on your point of view. During the hearing and the ensuing mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race, we came to realize that there was no middle ground here. You were either for or against, and hero/ villain mantles were interchanged depending upon who or what you believed.

Wyley believes that Stirling was picked and targetted by the OCPC to be ground down as an example.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mess with us, we have quasijudicial powers and men at the back of the meeting with uniforms and guns.

Okey-dokey, you ARE scary and powerful, governments at all levels have caved to your demands in the past, and you intend to keep up your front with outrageous claims and requirements.

If Stirling was too weak to counter being used as an example to the rest of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;look what is happening elsewhere. Last Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Globe & Mail on page A3 contains the headline, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tensions

ďŹ&#x201A;are between police, board chair.â&#x20AC;? That police board chair had the temerity to compare, in a roundabout way, the police to ISIS and Ebola! Holy OCPC decorum Batman! Have that chairman taken out and beaten about the head and shoulders. Oh wait, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsible for over 5,000 Toronto cops and they are heading into negotiations after a pay-freeze. Hold the hearing, maybe we can get him voted off the board by the new Toronto council.

And so it will be, power and money. Some have it and very much want to keep it. Others are seeing

it slip away with no opportunity to replenish it. Wyley is jealous that his pension is dependent on a faltering brain when he could have been a teacher or a cop or a civil servant or even a nuclear operatorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;retiring early with full indexing. The only airport I go to is Stirling International. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand watching my pension ďŹ&#x201A;ying off to Aruba while I jealously stay home blowing snow.

Yours truly, Wyley Canuck, aka Ken Leavens, Stirling

Highest electricity rates in North America Dear Editor, The Liberals claim Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hydro rates are competitive but they remain the highest in North America. I am going to give you a few examples of hydro rates from British Columbia, Manitoba and Quebec.

In BC, their price is 10 cents per kWh and their only service fee is $6.81 cents.

In Manitoba, their price is 7.1 cents per kWh and their only service fee is $7.38 cents.

Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hydro prices are about the same as Manitoba prices.

I will give you an example what this means if you had a hydro bill in Ontario of $681 including all of our service charges per month.

In British Columbia, your total bill would be $337, including their service charge â&#x20AC;Ś half the price.

In Manitoba, the same bill would be $243 including their service charge, just over a third the price and once again Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total bill would be comparable to Manitoba.

The Liberals still maintain Ontario is very competitive

OPINION

National discussion on assault long overdue

Artificial intelligence threat Editorial - The experts run the whole gamut from A to B, and they’re practically unanimous: artificial intelligence is going to destroy human civilisation.

Expert A is Elon Musk, polymath co-founder of PayPal, manufacturer of Tesla electric cars, creator of Space X, the first privately funded company to send a spacecraft into orbit, and much else besides.

“I think we should be very careful about Artificial Intelligence [AI],” he told an audience at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in October.

“If I were to guess what our biggest existential threat is, it’s probably that.”

Musk warned AI engineers to “be very careful” not to create robots that could rule the world.

Indeed, he suggested there should be regulatory oversight “at the national and international level” over the work of AI developers, “just to make sure that we don’t do something very foolish.”

Expert B is Stephen Hawking, the world’s most famous theoretical physicist and author of the bestselling unread book ever, A Short History of Time.

He has a brain the size of Denmark, and last Monday he told the British Broadcasting Corporation that “the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.”

Hawking has a motor neuron disease that compels him to speak with the aid of an artificial speech generator. The new version he is getting from Intel learns how Professor Hawking thinks, and suggests the words he might want to use next.

It’s an early form of AI, so naturally the interviewer asked him about the future of that technology. A genuinely intelligent machine, Hawking warned, “would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete and would be superseded.” So be very, very careful.

Musk and Hawking are almost fifty years behind popular culture in their fear of rogue AI turning against human beings (HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey). They are a full 30 years behind the concept of a super-computer that achieves consciousness and instantly launches a war of extermination against mankind (Sky net in the “Terminator” films).

Then there’s The Matrix, Blade Runner and similar variations on the theme. It’s taken a while for the respectable thinkers to catch up with all this paranoia, but they’re there now. So everybody take a tranquiliser, and let’s look at this more calmly.

Full AI, with capacities comparable to the human brain or better, is at least two or three decades away, so we have time to think about how to handle this technology.

The risk that genuinely intelligent machines which don’t need to be fed or paid will eventually take over practically all the remaining good jobs— doctors, pilots, accountants, etc.—is real. Indeed, it may be inevitable. But that would only be a catastrophe if we cannot revamp our culture to cope with a great deal more leisure, and restructure our economy to allocate wealth on a different basis than as a reward for work.

Such a society might well end up as a place in which intelligent machines had “human” rights before the law, but that’s not what worries the sceptics. Their fear is that machines, having achieved consciousness, will see human beings as a threat (because we can turn them off, at least at first), and that they will therefore seek to control or even eliminate us. That’s the Skynet scenario, but it’s not very realistic.

The saving grace in the real scenario is that AI will not arrive all at once, with the flip of a switch.

It will be built gradually over decades, which gives us time to introduce a kind of moral sense into the basic programming, rather like the innate morality that most human beings are born with. (An embedded morality is an evolutionary advantage in a social species.)

Our moral sense doesn’t guarantee that we will always behave well, but it certainly helps. And if we are in charge of the design, not just blind evolution, we might even do better. Something like Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics, which the Master laid down 72 years ago.

First Law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

Second Law: A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

Not a bad start, although in the end there will inevitably be a great controversy among human beings as to whether self-conscious machines should be kept forever as slaves. The trick is to find a way of embedding this moral sense so deeply in the programming that it cannot be circumvented.

As Google’s director of engineering, Ray Kurzweil, has observed, however, it may be hard to write an algorithmic moral code strong enough to constrain and contain super-smart software.

We probably have a few decades to work on it, but we are going to go down this road—the whole ethos of this civilisation demands it—so we had better figure out how to do that.

By Stephen Petrick Editorial - Back in 2007, I covered a speech by Fifth Estate journalist Brian Vallee, who was in Belleville to promote his book, The War on Women. The book suggested domestic violence was more of a threat to our society’s well-being than terrorism. It stated that from 2000 to 2006, 4,588 law enforcers or military workers were killed on the job in the United States. But over the same time period more than 8,000 American women were shot, stabbed or strangled to death by the men in their lives.

In Canada, over the same period, there were 101 law enforcement or military deaths, yet more than 500 women were killed by their partners. The book was a call for the public to place more attention on violence against women; or at least place the same level of concern toward domestic violence deaths as military or law enforcement deaths.

Now, seven years later, our society might finally be taking the issue of violence against women with the seriousness it deserves. Three of the biggest stories in the news lately relate to sexual assault of women (or if not sexual assault, inappropriate relationships with women); those are the tales of radio personality Jian Ghomeshi, comedian Bill Cosby, and ousted federal Liberal caucus member Massimo Pacetti. None of these people have committed the sort of crime Vallee’s book focused on—murder—but the acts they’re accused of is leading to a national discussion on sexual assault and violence, that I believe the veteran journalist hoped to achieve.

Ghomeshi, the one-time host of CBC’s Q show, was fired by the national broadcaster when his bosses learned details of his private sex life, which he referred to on a Facebook post as “adventurous.” His claim of innocence seemed to galvanize women from his past. An article published in the Toronto Star on December 1 counted the number of women who’ve since spoken out against Ghomeshi at 15, with many of them alleging he engaged in non-consensual violent acts with them. He’s now facing four counts of sexual assault and one count of choking.

His lawyer says he will plead not guilty when the charges are contested in court in January.

Cosby is facing similar accusations. As of this writing, 15 women are accusing the comedian of sexually assaulted them; in some cases after drugging them. As of this writing, no charges have been laid.

And then there’s the case of Pacetti, one of two MPs kicked out of the Liberal caucus by Justin Trudeau in October. A recent Globe and Mail

Distribution Inquiries 613-966-2034 ext 512 Sales Manager Melissa Hudgin 613-966-2034, ext 504 ADVERTISING SALES Norah Nelson, 613-966-2034, ext 501 Mark Norris, 613-966-2034, ext 506 Susan St.Hilaire, 613-966-2034, ext 518 CLASSIFIEDS Heather Naish, 613-966-2034, ext 560 hnaish@theemc.ca 1-888-Words Ads

article suggests the reason Pacetti was kicked out of caucus was that he had sex with a female NDP Member of Parliament, who did not give consent. The newspaper protected the identity of this MP, but published her story in which she says the two were in a hotel room when Pacetti allegedly grabbed her and the two had sex before any explicit consent was given. Pacetti has since denied any wrongdoing.

There are some striking similarities in all of these stories. They all involved men who were public figures and had some degree of power.

And right now, these stories are nothing more than allegations. Cosby and Pacetti are not facing any charges from police. And while Ghomeshi has been charged, the allegations have yet to be proven in court.

Yet, it’s hard to feel sorry for any of them.

Neither Ghomeshi nor Cosby have provided any answers as to why so many different women are coming out with nearly the same story about them. The story involving Pacetti is a little different, as it involves one accuser, not several.

But if it’s true that he had sex with an MP from an opposing party—even consensual sex—it would be hard to feel sorry for him. How could an MP think it would be okay to have a relationship with someone from another party and not have it end with bad consequences?

There are probably people who don’t believe the women coming forward in any of these cases.

Why, they might ask, would a woman accuse a man of assault long after an incident? (The Ghomeshi allegations go years back, the Cosby ones go back decades.)

The answer might be because, finally, in 2014, women are starting to feel comfortable about speaking out about abuse and assault.

Ghomeshi, Cosby and Pacetti may never be convicted of anything in the end—it’s difficult to prove sexual assault allegations in court. But that may be irrelevant, as all three have already been punished severely.

Ghomeshi won’t likely ever work in Canadian broadcasting again; Cosby’s had to cancel shows on his comedy tour and it’s doubtful Pacetti will be part of the Liberals’ attempt to rise back to power.

The lesson here is that sexual behaviour—even sexual behaviour that’s not explicitly illegal, but risky enough to cause hurt—can ruin a person’s career. Legalities aside, Ghomeshi, Cosby and Pacetti are guilty in the court of public opinion.

The fact that their stories are leading to a national discussion on assault and consensual sex is the one positive thing out of these sad, complex cases.

News - Ontario Toyota Dealers Association (OTDA) launched their Holiday Wishmaker campaign in Toronto last Monday and will be granting the wishes of 24 Ontarians from across the province (one wish per day). Betty Persuric of Belleville was one recent winner.

Betty and her husband are both blind. Despite the challenges they face on a daily basis, cooking and sharing a meal with her friends in the community is something she loves to do.

However, Betty’s financial situation makes it difficult for her to be able to entertain and share a meal with friends and family. To help her out this holiday season, OTDA paid for Betty’s groceries and gave her a $1,000 gift card at NoFrills in Belleville which she can use toward many more festive meals. Betty has been nominated by a friend who wants to help her continue to cook and enjoy life despite her limited budget.

News - Trenton - The Trenton Santa Claus Parade delighted thousands of spectators with many floats, marching bands and entertainers, this past weekend. Everyone was in high spirits and enthusiastic crowds lined the streets from Centennial Park to Queen Street to see what is undoubtedly one of the best parades in the Quinte Region.

“I am amazed year after year with the effort and creativity from businesses, schools and community groups,” says Suzanne Andrews, chamber manager. “We had welldecorated floats that lit up the streets to kick off the holiday season and the weather was just perfect. All of the spectators appreciated all the hours of work that go into each float.

“This parade could not happen without support and generous donations from local businesses, service groups and individuals. They make the Trenton Santa Claus Parade possible.”

“On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to thank Brian Swartman and Brad Graham and all the volunteer firefighters for ensuring the floats were all

lined up on time and the parade ran smoothly,” says Stephanie Wilson, parade co-ordinator.

“A special thank-you to Wayne Campbell from Montrose Inn; his continued dedication helps to make this parade a success every year.” Wayne volunteers countless hours to prepare for Santa’s arrival to Quinte West and keeps Santa’s float looking its best in the parade year after year. As well, thank-you to Frank Meiboom from M&R Automotive who provides a warm place to decorate Santa’s float with some delicious treats.

Thank you to Tim Hortons for donating hot chocolate and Timbits and for the Lions Club for providing hot food and hot drinks; this helped to keep everyone’s energy up while they waited in the parade lineup.

LED lighting makes city lighter and brighter

By Kate Everson

in less than four years,” notes Mayor Jim Harrison.

In addition to efficiencies, residents will notice that LEDs provide a clear, white light that improves visibility and community safety. The beams of LEDs are also more targeted than traditional street lights to light only the streets and roadways, which helps reduce light pollution.

The city chose RealTerm Energy as the service provider recommended by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.

In the last 12 months, more than 90 municipalities have chosen this provider for LED streetlight upgrades.

“There will be no repairs on the system in ten years,” says Michael Miller, project installation manager. “If a light should fail, which is highly unlikely, we just replace it.”

He noted ordinary bulbs may last four years, but LEDs

should last 22 years, and even then only be dimming slightly. The system will be on from dusk to dawn and will be operated by an automatic photo controller.

Currently, city streetlights consume 2.4 M kWh of electricity. After retrofit with LED it will be 667,000 kWh or a 72 per cent reduction in

total project costs worth $1.4 million.

Throughout all of Quinte West, 2,787 lights are being replaced. Electricity savings are estimated at $325,000 a year. Maintenance savings are estimated at $71,000 a year. Pay back time on the investment is less than four years.

News - Hastings County - It may be hard to believe that a service so many have grown to love and believe in is about to turn 25 years old.

Since 1990, the blue box service operated by the Centre & South Hastings Waste Services Board, has kept roughly 276,000 metric tonnes of recyclable material out of landfill.

That’s the equivalent of over 15 million full 40-pound garbage bags, the weight of nearly 46,000 full-grown adult elephants.

“Our award-winning municipal waste diversion service has pioneered many waste diversion innovations, and it’s because residents since day one bought into the program, and welcomed it with open arms,” notes Rick Clow, general manager for Quinte Waste Solutions, the operating name of the municipal board. “We operate on a frugal budget, and are still able to expand our programs and services.”

Quinte Waste Solutions services nine municipalities in total including Belleville, Quinte West, Prince Edward County, Tyendinaga Township, Stirling-Rawdon, Centre Hastings, Tweed, Marmora and Lake, and Madoc Township.

“Our modest, hand-sort recovery facility in Trenton, where all of the blue box material goes, currently processes close to 15,000 metric tonnes of recycling each year. All of that material is staying out of landfill, and is being turned into new products we use and enjoy every day … It’s awesome.”

The Blue Box is awesome. What a few people started in the 1980s in southern Ontario, has grown into a service that over 220 Ontario municipalities provide for their residents, and has expanded to become an international symbol of the Green movement.

“Recycling conserves our planet’s finite natural resources, and uses less energy than sourcing raw materials to make the products we use every day. Quinte residents can be proud to be a part of a tangible solution to our society’s waste problems.”

Quinte Waste Solutions is planning some big surprises throughout 2015 to mark 25 years of recycling in Quinte.

Learn more about your municipal blue box program by visiting <www. quinterecycling.org> or calling 613394-6266.

News - Quinte West - The city is going to get a lot brighter.

Over the next 12 weeks, the whole system of street lighting will be replaced with LED (light-emitting diode) technology that is expected to reduce costs by 72 per cent “They are brighter too,” adds Chris Angelo, director of Public Works and Environmental Services. He said the new subdivisions already have LED lighting and there have been no complaints.

“They are low maintenance,” he adds.

Angelo noted they got a provincial grant of $310,000 as a government incentive to switch over to the new technology. The LEDs are expected to last up to five times longer and reduce maintenance costs by 80 per cent.

“Quinte West is expecting a payback on this investment

Step into the warmth of the old Trenton Town Hall 1861 which will be open during the wagon rides with hot chocolate and cookies. On Saturday, December 14, from noon to 3 p.m. photos with Santa will take place inside.

For the delight of train enthusiasts, a model steam train that moves at the push of a button has been set up on the ceiling, thanks to Peter Kellett. More interesting pictures of the past are on all the walls; you can enjoy viewing them while waiting for Suzie and Wanda to make their rounds.

Council is also expected to find a new manager of human resources with the departure of Lauren Tremblay for the Kingstonbased health unit.

The new warden also outlined in detail the procedure for a new official county plan to be launched during the new year and committed Hastings to continued support of the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus. He also cited the need to recruit two more doctors under the family doctor recruitment program.

In administering the oath of office and swearing in ceremony, Judge Robert Scott noted he had presided for the same man on three previous occasions, and this current time is for a two-year term under new provincial legislation.

News - Trenton - Suzie and Wanda know their way around town.

“I’ve been doing this for 13 years,” said Blaine Way from Carriage for Hire in Milford. “This is Wanda’s first time.”

Wanda is a six-year-old purebred Haflinger. Suzie is an eight-year-old half Haflinger, a quarter Belgian and a quarter pony. Together they make a great pair of horses pulling the wagon around town as part of the Trenton DBIA Wagon Rides for Christmas.

“The manure just dries and blows away in the wind,” Blaine said with a grin.

A lady riding in the back commented, “It will heat your house!”

Shawn Ellis inside the Trent Port Museum where the wagon rides begin and end added that in some places in Europe people would run to get the manure which was great for compost in the garden.

The Wagon Rides started on Friday, December 5, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and on Saturday, December 6, from 12 to 3 p.m. They run December 11 and 12 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Saturday, December 13, from 4 to 7 p.m., Sunday, December 14, from noon to 3 p.m. and on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday up to December 19 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Their final run is on Saturday, December 20, from 4 to 7 p.m., Sunday, December 21 from 12 to 3 p.m., Monday, December 22, and Tuesday, December 23, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

All rides are free with pickup and drop off at the Trent Port Museum in the Market Square parking lot.

News - Belleville - What newly installed Warden Rick Phillips designated as “the year of the family” of Hastings County will also be a year of new faces around the county building.

“This council works for every member municipality, all of our residents and our entire business community no matter where they are located across this great county,” he said. “Think of the county as a family. Families stick together, support each other and together we are stronger,” he told the inaugural session of Hastings County Council Thursday.

As for new faces, the warden welcomed three new members to council for the next four years, although Reeve Tom Deline of Centre Hastings is actually a longtime member of council who has returned. New are Councillor Sharon Carson, of Limerick, and Councillor Graham Blair, of Wollaston.

The warden also referred to council’s quest for a new

MRS. B’S “Visit Mrs. B’s in downtown Brighton for everything chocolate and everything sweet.

From cookies and cupcakes, brittles and nuts, to exquisite artisan chocolates. We specialise in everything from bite size indulgences to unique custom-made gifts for everyone.”

News - Trenton - The windows in downtown Trenton are festive and delightful. The DBIA is pleased with the response from the Trenton downtown businesses who participated in its “Let it Snow” Winter Decorating Contest.

“Nineteen businesses decorated their windows contributing to the downtown area looking very cheerful for the holiday season,” said Jane Collett-MacDonald, office administrator.

“The DBIA was extremely

impressed with all of the creativity and effort that went into the displays to make the downtown look so appealing for the holiday season,” MacDonald added.

In collaboration with the City of Quinte West, and the Trenton DBIA, the downtown businesses were judged and the winners were: First Place - Sally’s Hair Design Studio; Second Place Dr. Younes Dental Care; Third Place - H.D. Rolf the Jeweller Ltd. Honourable Mentions were

given to Panelas Construction Ltd., Housing/Apartment Rentals, Jim’s Pizzeria, and Fleming Garrett Sioui.

The Trenton DBIA received funding for this initiative from the City of Quinte West and Quinte Broadcasting.

“The annual window decorating contest contributes in generating a positive shopping experience in the downtown core area while promoting a festive holiday spirit,” said Colleen Vickers, special events co-ordinator for the city.

Ford Fiesta brings smiles to raffle winner

By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - Evelyn Wilson had no idea what she was getting into. She walked into Lange and Fetter on Saturday just as Mayor Jim Harrison called her name.

“Evelyn Wilson,” he said, drawing her name from a raffle for a Ford Fiesta. She looked.

She gasped. She started to scream.

“It couldn’t have happened

to a nicer person,” said Wendy Warner, executive director of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation that sponsored the draw.

When Evelyn stopped screaming she called her husband Brent on her cell and told him the good news. Then she called her children. Then she opened the car door and sat down.

“I would do anything to sup-

port Trenton hospital,” she said.

She just bought the ticket on Tuesday from Karen Whitley.

Board chair John Smylie thanked the volunteers and all those who bought tickets to support the hospital.

“It’s a fantastic car,” he said.

Russ MacDonald, general manager of Lange and Fetter said it was a great idea.

Smylie noted that staff at the car dealership in Trenton had been a great help setting up the raffle. They even did the detailing on the car which had been promoted all over the city since tickets went on sale in April.

As for Evelyn Wilson, she couldn’t stop smiling.

Quinte West Adopt A Child needs your help

By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The Adopt a Child program is still collecting donations. Two locations this year include the Community Policing office in downtown Trenton and Trenton Glass and Windows in Bayside. The former office at Rock 107 is no longer available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can stop in whenever we are open,â&#x20AC;? says Community Policing office manager Brenda McFarlane.

The policing office is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We provide people with the ages and sizes of the children who are on the list,â&#x20AC;? adds Adopt

A Child co-ordinator Corrine Cheese. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can buy tops, pants, pyjamas, socks and underwear. They wrap them all individually and put them in a bag.

Each child has his own bag.â&#x20AC;?

People can also bring in donations of cash or cheques if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do the shopping themselves.

The program started on November 1 and will distribute the gifts to those on the list by Christmas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get a lot of businesses and church groups donating,â&#x20AC;?

Corrine said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also have groups like bowling teams and dart leagues.â&#x20AC;?

People can also donate directly through the downtown Tren-

ton TD Bank and designate the money to Quinte West Adopt A Child. Tax receipts can be issued for cheques made payable to the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation.

East Northumberland Secondary School in Brighton has committed to adopting 70 children this year.

Co-ordinator Lisa Triemstra adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 200 children left to adopt with multiple families that have two to five kids in it.â&#x20AC;?

Tim Hortons kicked off the season with a $14,000 cheque which enabled them to adopt out 100 children, but they need the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help to dig deep and help wrap up this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank-you to the individu-

als, church groups, families, and offices that have helped us to date,â&#x20AC;? Triemstra adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We urge the residents and businesses of Quinte West to please help us help our own families in need this season.â&#x20AC;?

Triemstra also wants to thank Community Policing office and Trenton Glass and Windows for helping with the program this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without their support we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been able to continue the Quinte West Adopt a Child program which has been running over 25 years,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Children can also be adopted by calling Lisa at 613-3918382.

Christmas in the Village welcomes visitors

By Kate Everson

News - Ameliasburgh - It was Christmas in the Village on Sunday, December 7, as visitors enjoyed a special welcome in this tiny community.

“It’s a bit chilly in here,” said Lynda Sommer, president of the museum board. She had two small electric heaters in the Victoria schoolhouse, while an old wood stove sat pipeless by her feet.

“We have most of the pipes but we need some more,” she said with a laugh.

Even if it were connected to the wood stove, it would just be for looks, she added, as this is the only time the old schoolhouse would be used in cold weather. The tourist season starts in May. “There is a pipe hole behind Queen Victoria,” she added.

The schoolhouse was moved here from its original site six kilometres away.

“There was no floor in it,”

Sommer added. “They used it to store hay.”

Sommer noted that these old schoolhouses also had no indoor plumbing so water would be hauled in a bucket from a neighbour’s well. “The ground here is limestone,” she said. “Even the outhouses had drawers instead of holes in the ground. But they were all two-seaters.”

Today it was part of the Christmas in the Village festivities and children were invited to make decorations with a bit of cotton and cardboard. Bradley Stever, six, with his mother Krista, from Demorestville, quickly pieced together a fantastic Santa Star.

A stroll through the village included the settlers log cabin where cider was cooked in a big, black pot on an open fire and gingerbread cookies, made by curator Janice Hubbs (with her mother’s recipe), were offered to guests. Brenda Dettlinger and her daughter

Danielle kept the visitors fed and entertained with crafts on the big pine table.

If you didn’t want to walk, there were two strong horses and a cart owned by Scott and Amanda Carter that would take you on a tour of the village. This went from the library (Al Purdy Branch) which had crafts and stories, to the Masonic Hall, Lake Lodge 215, at the other, where you could explore the Mason tools and ask about the rituals.

Inside the Ameliasburgh Hall, there was cookie decorating, making pine cone feeders with peanut butter

and seeds, free hot chocolate, mulled cider and cookies, as well as crafts for sale.

Ameliasburgh knitters Elizabeth Rolston and Gwynn Bedford were busy knitting at their table, making beautiful clothes. Brenda Englefield from the Garden Club helped Regan and Myia Malcolm with their pine cone feeders.

On a Christmas tree hung cheerful gingerbread men and festive paper decorations.

Crafts lady Marjorie Bedford offered a table of handmade crafts including Grandma’s Lye Soap, handknitted cup warmers and gingerbread men for the tree.

Humane Society searching for executive director amid turmoil

By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - The Quinte Humane Society is searching for an executive director and the successful candidate will have a tall order; it will involve easing tension between the board and staff, dealing with a new union and renewing a fund-raising drive to build a new shelter for animals in care.

Months of behind-the-scenes tension between the board, members and staff of the animal welfare organizations seem to have reached a boiling point in recent days. An apparently “unofficial” Quinte Human Society meeting was called— and then cancelled—for Tuesday night.

Pat Culhane, a former Belleville city councillor and

new Humane Society board member, spoke to the Belleville News Monday to clarify that despite the drama, animals are still being cared for properly, and the board hopes to keep the registered charity moving forward.

The Quinte Humane Society cares for dozens of homeless dogs, cats and other animals at its 527 Avonlough Road shelter and puts them up for adoption.

Culhane confirmed that the last few weeks have been stressful for many animal lovers as conflicts have taken place between several people involved in the organization.

But many are hopeful that the hiring of a new leader will smooth things over.

Culhane pointed out that

currently the organization has no executive director, meaning Board President Laurie Palmer has had to take on some responsibilities that normally don’t fall on a president. Board members are usually volunteers who make financial or business decisions and aren’t typically involved with day-to-day operations.

Culhane also stressed that the board, which is currently made up of about nine regular contributors, has “nothing but respect” for staff.

“The staff, they work hard, under not the best of conditions,” Culhane said.

“We’re a new board, we’ve stumbled a time or two. We’re just trying to bring order to the place.”

R0013034331

Christmas Bazaar at Applefest

A group of Quinte Humane Society staff members recently joined the United Food and Commercial Workers Union 175.

An email obtained by Metroland Media back in August indicated they felt a need to join the union because they felt the board was making “unethical” decisions.

Culhane said she has no objection to staff joining a union, as it’s their legal right to do so. But she said the meeting called for Tuesday was not an official Quinte Humane Society board meeting and those who advertised it, used the organization’s name and logo inappropriately.

The agenda for the meeting, which was circulated on social media, listed one item as a discussion on the removal of

613-966-2330

10 Cannifton Rd., Belleville

www.bellevillerustcheck.com

the current board.

Culhane said that should a group want to proceed with that plan, there’s a legal process they can follow. That involves getting signatures of ten per cent of the Humane Society’s membership and bringing it to an official board meeting.

Despite all this, Culhane is pleading with the community to continue supporting the Humane Society, which exists solely on fund-raising dollars.

She said the board already has several applications in for the executive director position and hopes to have a new person in place in early 2015.

Culhane believes once that person is comfortable in the new position, a fund-raising drive to replace the Avonlough Road shelter will gain steam.

It’s no secret that the current

shelter is small, run down and ineffective. Humane Society officials have been quietly fund raising for a new shelter for several months, but have not yet widely publicized the drive.

Culhane said board members had hoped to announce a major fund-raising drive last summer, but realized with all the other outstanding issues they should hold off.

Still, Culhane stresses that those who’ve donated to the campaign already will see their money go to good use.

“I’ve spent literally hours on the phone with people who donated to a new building fund,” said Culhane.

“I’ve told them I will come and get you and take you to Wilkinson [the humane society’s accountant] and show you the new building fund.”

Drawn Forth brings Otto to the library

By Richard Turtle

Lifestyles - Stirling - A new publishing company based in the village introduced young readers to its ďŹ rst title last week at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library, receiving a warm reception from a discerning crowd.

Drawn Forth Publishing, operated by Emma Persaud and Donald Lucas, has several other titles in the works, including more childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books, a pair of novels and a collection of short stories, says Persaud the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief editor, but last weekend it was all about Little Otto and the Big Mountain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our ďŹ rst book,â&#x20AC;? she says of the duoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new venture into the world of publishing, adding she

the children to show some of their own creativity.

Persaud says Little Otto and the Big Mountain explores ideas very much in keeping with the publishing philosophy to offer â&#x20AC;&#x153;books for a better world.â&#x20AC;? And regardless of the genre or targeted audience, she says, Drawn Forth intends to celebrate stories of dreams followed and realized and the resulting achievements that can come despite the presence of obstacles both obvious and hidden.

Currently on the lookout for new authors, Persaud says they are limiting their search to Ontario for the time being but hope to expand beyond provincial borders as their list of titles grows. Currently, she

says, they also have a pool of illustrators with a range of styles who could be paired with authors of future childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books, but they are also accepting submissions from interested artists. Along with the prospect of working with other writers and illustrators, Persaud is also looking forward to the release of her own book, expected in the spring.

Further information about submissions and titles from Drawn Forth Publishing, is available on the Internet <www.drawnforth.ca> or by emailing <dlucas@drawnforth. org> or calling 613-794-4126.

Little Otto and the Big Mountain is also available in the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department of the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library.

News - Brighton - Between 413 Wing, its ladies auxiliary, and the Royal Canadian Legion Brighton Branch 100, there were beaming smiles and laughter from the residents at Maplewood Lodge Thursday afternoon.

Santa came Ho Ho Hoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ing through the doors, he just had his suit cleaned and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to soil it before the big day, handing out presents and lots of cheer.

And these groups have been bringing joy to the residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; faces for years, said Master Warrant OfďŹ cer Aidan Blake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our way to show appreciation and put smiles on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The association from 8 Wing Trenton, warrant ofďŹ cer

and sergeants mess, supplied the drinks and the band, while the ladies auxiliary made the sandwiches and other goodies.

Brighton Legion brought the wine, plus a gift for Santa to hand out to each of the close to 50 residents.

And members of the Forces and other volunteers danced and sang with the residents, making it a fun afternoon for all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The residents have been looking forward to this event for weeks,â&#x20AC;?

Stirling-based Drawn Forth Publishingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chief Editor Emma Persaud read from Emad Talismanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Little Otto and the Big Mountain during a reading at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library recently.

couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t refuse an opportunity to present it to a Stirling audience.

The childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, by Ottawa author Emad Talisman and illustrated by Belleville artist David Alexander, was read to a small group of patrons in the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art gallery last Saturday, with the youngest of the participants recreating a character from the story during a craft session afterward.

The story of Otto focuses on his inexperienced determination, the importance of teamwork and the sense of satisfaction that results from reaching a difďŹ cult goal.

And as Persaud read Talismanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words, Alexanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illustrations appeared on the projection screen behind her. After the reading and a short discussion, it was time for

Sports - Belleville - The Yardmen Arena will look pretty pink on Saturday, February 21, when the Belleville Bulls take on the Saginaw Spirit in Ontario Hockey League action.

The game will be the Bullsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; semiannual Pink in the Rink night. The team will wear special pink jerseys which will be auctioned off after the game as a fund raiser for the Belleville General Hospital Foundation. Donations will also be collected in the stands.

The event comes in the midst of BGHFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $7-million fund-raising campaign for cancer care at the hospital.

The organization just recently achieved the ďŹ rst $1 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know cancer touches everyone including our players and this is a great opportunity for us to honour hockey moms in our community,â&#x20AC;? said Andrew Kerik, the Belleville Bulls director of

business operations.

Ana Bento, the community branch manager for Scotiabank, the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sponsor, attended a photo-op to announce the event. It was staged inside the Douglas A. MacIntosh Cancer Clinic at Belleville General Hospital, by a bell that is rung by patients to celebrate receiving their ďŹ nal treatment. It was a ďŹ tting symbol because Bulls fans have, similarly, been known for ringing cow bells after a goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pink in the rink is a perfect ďŹ t,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun for everyone and raises funds for cancer care in the Quinte region.â&#x20AC;?

Bulls players Stephen Harper and Charlie Graham attended the photoop. Both said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to the game and players will likely get involved by wearing, not only the pink jerseys, but by using pink tape on sticks and pink skate laces.

the weeks leading up to the parade and many individuals, organizations and community groups took full advantage by decorating bicycles, motor vehicles, horses, trailers and floats and joining the celebration.

Floats and participants gathered around the arena and fairgrounds last Friday in preparation for the scheduled 6:30 p.m. start and 45 minutes later the last of the participants were under way with all going according to schedule. The parade left the arena parking lot and proceeded east along Front Street before returning to the arena along

Church Street.

Elected officials from all three levels of government were on hand with MPP Todd Smith, MP Daryl Kramp and a full contingent from Stirling-Rawdon Council joining individuals, service clubs and businesses in wishing the community a merry Christmas.

Donations were also accepted along the parade route by volunteers on a pair of floats collecting for the food bank and for the Christmas toy drive.

Students from Bayside Secondary School and Stirling Public School were flying their school

banners along with members of numerous other community and service organizations, including the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 228 Colour Guard who led the parade.

Local businesses, including Stirling Foodland, Sao Fitness, Allure Day Spa and Twisted Mounty were also represented.

Customarily bringing up the rear was Santa Claus himself, with a team of flying reindeer but for the Stirling event, travelling under the power of a pair of earthbound horses and bringing additional greetings from the BIA.

On The Rocks: Trenton Curling Club News

Sports - The past couple of weeks have seen a beehive of activity at the Trenton Curling Club. From tiny tots to elementary students, secondary students, Community Living, ice rentals, and party functions, there was hardly time for the volunteers to catch their breath. But by far the most energetic group to hit the ice were the curlers in the annual Grands and Greats Bonspiel. Open to all grand and great-

grandparents, aunts and uncles, it attracted a full house of spirited and brightly attired new age seniors.

The bonspiel was a two-game total points spiel, where points were awarded for games/ends won and points scored. After the first random draw, the two top teams would play each other, as would the two bottom teams, and so on. This levels the curling skills playing field and puts everyone in contention for the

trophy, assorted prizes, and bragging rights. After the first draw, Mike Lamoureux and Bert Garrett led the pack with 1¼ and 9 ½ points respectively, and would face each other in the second draw. Last year, we had a history making moment when an unnamed individual scored a perfect zero.

This year, Dave Melanson redeemed his curling honour by scoring nine points in the first draw, and

moving on to take third place overall. Ellie Kompch, who scored a miserly 1¾ points in her first game last year, amassed a whopping first game total of 4¼ this year. Alas, the curling deities threw more misfortune her way in the second game and she finished in the dungeon.

With everyone playing against similar skill levels, the second draw games were all close. In fact, the potential bonspiel winner was tied coming home with Lamoureux laying three but Garrett had the hammer.

To score, Garrett needed to draw through a port to the four-foot. Unfortunately he bumped a guard, yielding the win and boasting privileges to Lamoureux.

However, every one went home a winner, as even the bottom teams received Tim Hortons gift cards. In ticket draws, Gary Keating won a scrumptious gift basket, donated by Pat and Jack Rumsam, while a gingerbread man (also donated by Pat and Jack) was won by Mike Parry.

In game two the Minor Midgets defeated the Sun County Panthers 2 - 1. Tanner Sheppard and Shelby Rienstra scored for the Devils with Jakob Brahaney and Keegan Ferguson contributing assists. Anthony Bertucca was solid in goal for Quinte getting the win.

Game 3 was a 1 - 1 tie with the Vaughan Kings. Aidan McFarland scored the lone Quinte goal with Jakob Brahaney and Keegan Ferguson adding assists. Anthony Popovich handled the goaltending

duties, earning the win.

The Minor Midgets crushed the Buffalo Regals 10 - 1 in their final round-robin game. The Minor Midgets ended up finishing third out of thirty teams in round-robin play, and played a quarter-final game on Saturday night against the number one ranked Don Mills Flyers, where they lost in overtime by a score of 2 - 1. The Devils spent the last minute of regulation time and most of the extra period shorthanded, and it proved costly. Nick Hoey scored the only goal with an assist from Ryan Fraser. Don Mills was the eventual champion.

Next weekend the Minor Midgets will participate in the ETA Minor Midget Showcase in Orillia where all of the ETA minor midget teams meet for the weekend and play two games in front of OHL and NCAA scouts.

Cobourg Cougars win 2 - 1 over Hawks in OJHL

By Kate Everson

Sports - Quinte West - It was an exciting game on Friday night, December 5, at the Duncan McDonald Memorial Arena in Trenton.

Trenton was led by Brady Wiffen, who scored the team’s only goal. Wiffen scored on the power play 5:38 into the second period to make the score 1 - 0 Trenton. The Golden Hawks had gotten the advantage when the Cougars’ Dawson Theede was sent off for holding. Christian Lloyd picked up the assist.

Cobourg was led by Mitchell Gibson, who tallied one goal.

Gibson scored 18:09 into the third period to make the score 2-1 Cobourg. Taylor Gauld also scored for Cobourg.

The Cobourg Cougars relied on the fast performance of goalie Tyler Lewis in net to grab a 2 - 1 win against the Trenton Golden Hawks.

Trenton put up an impenetrable defensive front on the penalty kill, and did not allow the Cougars to score on any of their four power plays. The Golden Hawks’ offense operated below their season average. Trenton averages 4.7 goals per game.

The Golden Hawks’ offence

rang up 38 shots on Cobourg’s net.

The Cougars incurred 12 minutes in penalty time with six minors. The Golden Hawks incurred 16 minutes in penalty time with three minors.

The stars of the game were Cougars goalie Tyler Lewis, Hawks goalie Justin Kapelmaster, and the Cougars’ Mitchell Gibson who scored the winning goal.

Trenton’s Justin Kapelmaster stopped 21 shots out of the 23 that he faced. Lewis recorded 37 saves for Cobourg out of 38 shots.

Lancers’ Kalala earns basketball player of week honours Sports - Belleville - The Loyalist College Lancers men’s basketball team will enter their Christmas break with a record of 6 - 4, thanks to a five-game winning streak and thanks, in large part, to the play of Muller Kalala.

The Ottawa resident was named the Ontario Colleges Athletics Association men’s basketball player of the week, for the week ending November 30.

Kalala scored a season-high 31 points in the Lancers’ 105 - 97 overtime win over George Brown College at home on November 28. He also had three rebounds, one assist and one steal.

That win extended the Lancers’ win streak to five games. The streak ended Wednesday, December 3, when the Lancers lost 92 - 81 to host Centennial College, who currently lead the OCAA East Division with a record of 8 - 2.

Kala is averaging 15.2 points per game for the Lancers, who enter the break tied for fourth place in the OCAA East.

The Lancers women’s basketball team ended their pre-Christmas schedule on a winning note, as they beat Centennial 56 - 45 on Wednesday, December 3. The win puts them in a three-way tie for third place in OCAA

East Division, as Loyalist, Durham and Centennial are all 5 - 3.

Shelby Johnston led Lancers scorers with 23 points on the night. Leticia Lopez also had a big night, scoring 14 points.

John Williams becomes new honorary colonel of 8 Wing

By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - John Williams had barely left his mayoral duties before he took on new ones as Honorary Colonel of 8 Wing.

“This is a privilege and an honour,” Williams said at the investiture ceremony at the National Air Force Museum of Canada on December 3.

“It’s an exciting day for me.”

He acknowledged the “good times” he has had at the base with former Wing Commanders present for the ceremony including General Hood, General Friday and Colonel Cochrane. He noted the relationship the city had with the base over the years was one he will cherish, especially the friendships.

Williams also acknowledged Honorary Colonel Glenn Rainbird for being there during the bad times.

“He set the bar high,” Williams said.

“We worked together as a community to set things right. He was the right guy at the right time. We owe you a lot, as a community.”

He recalled in 2010 when they closed down the highway and dozens of people from the community marched to the base with flags waving. Some stood on the steps and everyone sang O Canada.

“It was something to see,” he said.

Williams also recalled going to Alert in 2012, the furthest inhabited place in the world and about -30 or -40 degrees.

They took a Bombardier to the weather station and had to walk half a mile so the fumes wouldn’t affect the sensitive equipment.

“We were on top of the world,” he said. “And there on the table was a Reid’s Dairy milk carton!”

New honorary colonel of 8 Wing

Two very different and talented musicians take to the stage

Continued from page B1

He gave a nod to outgoing Honorary Colonel Armin Quickert who was smiling back.

Armin Quickert, manager of Reid’s Dairy in Belleville, has been honorary colonel of 8 Wing since November, 2011. He said that although he was “green as grass” he learned quickly from the finest.

“I realized it was an honour to serve my country,” he said.

He recognized the sacrifice made by military families, particularly with postings for five or six months as added

stressors.

“Some will not be home for Christmas,” he acknowledged. He said even with technology like Facetime young children don’t understand when their parent is not home for important events. It is a tremendous burden.

“We must continue to support our military families,” he said. “They need our help.”

Colonel David Lowthian said he celebrates the priceless connection with the community.

Entertainment - The last Saturday evening Night Kitchen Too for 2014, is shaping up for December 20 at the Pinnacle Playhouse at 8 p.m. The producers of Night Kitchen Too have again organized a full evening of entertainment by local and talented performers with a variety of musical styles ranging from pop to classical. Performers’ experiences, including the spoken word artists, vary from the self-taught to the professionally trained.

Enthusiastic audiences have continued to fill the theatre for this unique musical variety show because of the simple concept: Fourteen invited performers show up for a sound check an hour before the 8 p.m. opening and perform one song each. Just before the coffee and treats break, a featured act gets two shots at the microphone followed by a third tune at the show’s end.

Classical pianist Charley Jiang, 13, a Belleville Grade 8 student, is one of 14plus performers who will take to the stage for their one shot ‘at the mike. Charley, a very talented young musician tested the piano sitting on the set of A Christmas Carol at the Playhouse. He was given tickets to the classic Christmas story for his practice performance. Charley will be just one of the musical surprises of the evening.

Eugene Deline, the evening’s featured performer, is one of Canada’s most prolific songwriters having penned almost 3,000 songs. He recorded 22 songs for his Musings by the Night River CD, in 2010. As the result of his first commercially released CD, Luck and Skill, he signed a publishing deal with Hawktunes Publishing and a record contract with Skyhawk Records.

Producer Eric Baragar states, “Eugene has a voice that is similar to Leonard Cohen on one end of the spectrum, and like Mick Jagger on the other end. His songs range from a number of reflective, contemporary songs, to an electric roots thumper, to Nine Inch Nails meets the Beatles and to an all-out classic rock ’n’ roll rocker.”

Given that Night Kitchen Too has enjoyed solid audiences for all of its shows, those interested in attending are advised to get their tickets early. Tickets are $10 each and they are available at all three music stores in Belleville, Sweet Escape on Front Street or by calling Gary Magwood at 613-849-1976. Some tickets will also be available at the doors, which open at 7:30 p.m.

More information, including performance recordings and photographs, is available on Night Kitchen Too’s Facebook page.

Sunshine and lots of music at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Christmas event

Musical entertainment was abundant for the annual Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Mill Christmas festivities December 6 and 7. Weather was just perfect for grassroots band Wrought Iron Roots to set up around the campfire for their performance.

Lifestyles - Madoc - Visitors enjoyed unusually nice weather December 6 and 7 for the annual Christmas at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Mill Homestead and Conservation Area just north of the village of Madoc .

With a lineup of 16 musical performances held both indoors and out, patrons had plenty of talent to entertain them when they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t jaunting through the forest on horse and buggy rides, provided by both Chris Budd and Bruce Gordon, or enjoying a pancake breakfast and other treats from the food booth.

It was a leisurely day to spend with family in the outdoors and remember how early settlers may have spent their Christmas gatherings over 100 years ago.

This is the ďŹ rst year the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Mill Volunteer Association attempted to raise operating funds by holding a lottery. Usually, the group relies on donations and an

annual dinner-auction.

Nancy Moorcroft, with help from her fund-raising team, managed to sell all 300 lottery tickets slated for sale throughout 2014.

Half of the $50 ticket price will go to help volunteers maintain and improve the homestead area.

The other half was divided between 66 winners from three draws, October, November and December, with a ďŹ rst prize of $1,000, a second of $500, and ten each for $75 and $25.

All winners were notiďŹ ed by telephone with the ďŹ nal results published publicly.

The Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Mill Volunteer Association is always looking for fresh ideas and enthusiastic volunteers.

Over the past few years, with funds raised by the association, numerous repairs have been made to the mill pond dam and mill; a covered bridge has been

built over the dam and both the information centre and an 1800 period log cabin were built. Most recently a drive shed to shelter an authentic â&#x20AC;&#x153;rock pickerâ&#x20AC;? was built; it doubles now as a picnic shelter.

The homestead is also available for family gatherings, weddings and geocaching groups, all facilitated by volunteers to promote the historic location, commemorating the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara family who arrived in Madoc Township in 1823.

Experiencing pioneer days at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Mill is highlighted with three major events each year: Heritage Day, the Annual Corn Boil, and Christmas at the Mill.

Inquiry needed to address murdered and missing Aboriginal women

By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - It’s time for the federal government to launch a national inquiry into the disproportionate number of murdered or missing Aboriginal women. That was the message from an event at the Core Centre on Friday, December 5, to mark the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. Diana Barlow, a community wellness worker with Good Minds in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, spoke about the work of Sisters in Spirit, a network of Aboriginal women she belongs to who are calling for action. The group formed in 2005 amid concerns that the Aboriginal population was significantly over represented in statistics related to missing and murdered women. In time it found that over the last roughly 30 years, there have been 1,182 cases of murdered or missing First Nation women in Canada.

While that’s concerning on its own, the number is more alarming when put into context of First Nation populations. Aboriginal

women make up 4.3 per cent of Canada’s female population.

But Aboriginal women make up 16 per cent of Canadian female homicides. This is according to a slide presented by Barlow at Friday’s presentation.

“We’re being over represented in the number of women murdered in Canada,” she said.

“What we want to know is why.” Barlow told the audience, of about 50 people, that the United Nations and Amnesty International have called on Canada’s federal government to launch a national inquiry. But Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his ruling Conservative Party have yet to agree on such an issue. When questioned on the topic during his tour of the north in August, Harper said no such inquiry is necessary, because he feels it’s not a “sociological phenomenon” but rather a collection of crimes.

“The RCMP has said itself in its study, the vast majority of these cases are addressed, and they’re solved through police investigations. We’ll leave it in their hands,” he was quoted

as saying in several media outlets. That quote has since led to criticism from media and Aboriginal groups. Barlow said Harper’s refusal to look at violence against Aboriginal women as a broader issue is concerning.

“Sure the individual cases themselves are obviously criminal acts,” she said. “But what is the greater picture and why so many? Both the RCMP and the head of the Canadian Association of Police have said, yes, we need to look at this systemically.

Really, what we need is for the greater community in Canada to stand up and say that this needs to happen.”

Barlow encourages Canadians concerned with this topic to write letters to politicians calling for action; she pointed out that Amnesty International has a letter on its web site on this topic that visitors can copy to send to their leaders. While Barlow is unsure what, specifically, an inquiry will find, she believes it has to happen so Canadians can understand the root of the issue.

look deeper. We might find the answer is those things that do exist, or it could be something deeper.”

In the meantime, Barlow said she takes some comfort in knowing there are groups that are listening to Sisters in Spirit and trying to raise awareness of the issue. Representatives from several women’s groups were at Friday’s event to lead discussions on how to address issues of violence. The event coincided with the 25th anniversary of December 6, 1989, the day 14 female students at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal were killed by a gunman who specifically targeted women.

“The goal of Sisters in Spirit is to not only make sure our own people are aware of what’s going on, but to educate the greater community to ensure they know what’s going on,” Barlow said. Friday’s event also included a performance by a Prince Edward Collegiate Institute drama class led by Matt Sheahan. The play spoke to issues of gender inequality.

Lock It or Lose It campaign kicks into high gear News - Northumberland - The Lock It or Lose It campaign kicks into high gear for the holiday season as the Northumberland OPP participates in the province-wide Lock It or Lose It campaign The OPP is warning motorists about the dangers of property and identity theft resulting from unlocked vehicles or the leaving of valuables in plain view.

The campaign is sponsored by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police’s (OACP) and encourages drivers to take precautions to protect their vehicles and vehicle contents from theft, particularly during the holiday season.

“Leaving vehicles unlocked or valuables in plain sight is an invitation for thieves to steal your values. Our police service wants people to take the time to keep their property safe,” said Northumberland OPP Detachment Commander Acting Inspector Rob Kobayashi.

“Thieves are also looking for

anything in a vehicle that allows them to engage in identity theft.

Don’t give them the opportunity.

Keep anything with your personal information with you.”

During the campaign, police officers examine parked vehicles to confirm they are locked and that no valuables have been left in plain view.

Officers place a small notice on vehicles checked indicating what safety precautions were neglected and offer simple prevention tips for drivers to protect their vehicles against theft. The notices also congratulate drivers who have secured their vehicle.

“The insurance industry remains a strong supporter of the Lock It or Lose It campaign. We know it works,” said Rick Dubin, vice-president, Investigative Services, Insurance Bureau of Canada.

“While actual vehicle thefts have dropped, we are very concerned about identity theft and

identity fraud. Cases of identity theft and fraud have increased across Canada from 10,807 to 11,594 in 2013, a six per cent increase.”

Dubin urged motorists not to keep personal documents such as vehicle ownership, liability pink slips, credit card invoices, or other documents containing personal information in their vehicles. Identity thieves are looking for such documents so they can assume identities, secure credit card accounts, lease vehicles for export, and even take out a mortgage against victims’ properties without their knowledge.

Victims may not realize they have been victimized until it is too late, costing them time and money to rectify the damage.

Northumberland OPP will be conducting various Lock It or Lose It campaign initiatives with the county’s six Municipal Community Policing Committee members assisting.

Celebrating Christmas with Sharron Matthews

By Richard Turtle

Entertainment - Stirling Right in the middle of panto season, where music and laughter are front and centre at The Stirling Festival Theatre, a one-night-only Christmas party promises an evening of even more music and laughter with a different twist.

Sharron’s Christmas Party, featuring Stratford-based performer Sharron Matthews, is aimed at mature audiences and provides a different perspective on pop culture using a combination of stand-up comedy, vocal concert, talk show and controlled chaos. According to SFT Media Co-ordinator Joanne Hartman, Matthews “serves up her signature irreverent wit with solid gold mash-ups by artists such as Lady Gaga, Guns N’ Roses, Radiohead, Beyonce, Queen and more in a tour de force concert.” Recognized for

her roles in Les Miserables, Mean Girls and Global TV’s Canada Sings, among others, Matthews has played to soldout audiences across Canada as well as London, New York and South Africa. She has also been described as the love child of Jack Black and Bette Midler.

And the globetrotting entertainer is very much looking forward to her scheduled arrival in Stirling for her performance this Sunday.

“I really love doing this show,” Matthews says, describing Sharron’s Christmas Party as “a fun, off-the-wall kind of night. It’s like being at a party.” And it’s a party where she playfully toys with well-loved songs and adds some seasonal storytelling to the mix, and it’s a party that keeps her on the move for much of the month.

In fact, she says, immediately prior to the December 14 show

in Stirling, she will be appearing in Burnaby, BC, with other stops along the way.

“This show is different from anything else we’ve done,” says Hartman, adding it is certain to appeal to a broad range of theatregoers. And, she says, it offers a slight change of pace during the panto run while maintaining a strong sense of fun and Christmas spirit. The show, Hartman cautions, does contain “mature and colourful language.”

Sharron’s Christmas Party begins at 8 p.m. on Sunday, December 14, at the Stirling Festival Theatre where tickets are currently available.

Prices range from $34 to $38 per person with a 6 p.m. preshow dinner also available for an additional $25. Contact the box office for details at 613395-2100. Dinner reservations must be booked before noon on Saturday.

Readers of A Christmas Carol last weekend at the Johnstown church included (from left) Rita Turtle, Carol Snell and Peter Snell.

Events - Quinte West - Roy Bonisteel was warmly remembered last weekend with the return of the annual reading of A Christmas Carol at the old Johnstown Church.

In past years the story of Ebenezer Scrooge has been brought to life by a small group of readers, always including Bonisteel, and had become an annual tradition at the church that many grew to enjoy. An internationally recognized broadcaster and author, Bonisteel passed away in August of 2013 but had been a longtime participant in the readings of the Charles Dickens Christmas classic, and according to family members, in many ways considered them to be his first Christmas party to mark the beginning of the festive season.

The event hosted last Sunday, at what is also known as the Old Church Theatre, featured readers Astrid Young, Hal Wilson, Carol and Peter Snell and Rita and Richard Turtle, with musical accompaniment provided by Andy Thompson. Venue owners Brian Weston and Lesley Bonisteel welcomed about 60 guests with Weston providing formal introductions and thanking visitors for their

The Good Earth: Lifestyles - What do gardeners want for Christmas?

Here are some easy answers: Books but please not those entitled “1000 plants for North American Gardens” or “43 Ways to Cook Beets.” Take time to determine what part of gardening gives your gardener the most enjoyment and find an appropriate tome to match.

(Shameless plug: Take Time, Reflections for Gentle Reader is still available from this author.)

Magazine subscriptions are welcome as long as the mag has some vegetarian “meat.” Pretty pictures are nice but unless they have accompanying articles on how your gardener can accomplish the same, they quickly become nothing more than dust collectors on the coffee table.

Education is a good idea, especially if your hortulan has the time and means to attend the event. Perhaps you might find

Christmas gifts and wishes

a local expert whose knowledge would be important to your giftee. This is an idea that we often employed with our children as they were growing and making new discoveries. For example, one daughter co-founded a private detective agency (and actually solved a “case”: thank you, Lisa) and thought she might make a career of it. We found a local private detective and arranged for him to chat with her. Over the years drumming, weaving, photography, flying and a few other enterprises were featured. For your gardener, it shouldn’t take long to find someone in our area who is properly regarded as an expert. Ask them if they would mind being a “gift.” You can engage their services for several hours and then present a “gift certificate” to the lucky recipient. Don’t limit yourself to plants. What about basic carpentry?

Gift certificates are always welcomed

but don’t be dismayed if they are used for manure and fertiliser. For myself, I would use such a gift to buy whatever tool I needed at the highest quality that I could “now” afford.

Those were the easy answers, Gentle Reader. The following selections are on my personal Christmas wish list, which might not be the same as others.

I wish there were more “mom and pop” nurseries available to our communities.

As some of you know, I am employed by a very large nursery and garden centre operation, and happily so. Large centres have become a part of the horticultural market place as have giant box stores and outlet malls. It is the nature and demands of the consumer that make this convenience of one-stop shopping the norm. Megashops mean lots of product and that means deep, deep pockets. The smaller stores tend to have specialised inventories and flat out

do not earn enough money to make them economically viable. There is a cost to this convenience that many, many people do not realise or discount as being unimportant: we are losing a precious resource which is the vast knowledge and experience that local nurseries provided to their communities. So a gift would be for all of us to seek out micro-nurseries and support them.

I wish the folks who develop the curricula in our schools devoted more time to the land, its relationship to living organisms (especially us) and how we need to conserve it.

Today we toss around terms like GMO, integrated pest management (IPM), gluten-free, terminator technology, genome patenting and organic without having a clear understanding of what they actually mean. Let’s teach this in our schools so that when it comes time for future genera-

asked to participate by Bonisteel because of their fathers’ professional and personal connections. And to her pleasant surprise, Lesley explains, that request to a stranger was immediately met with a positive response. When Young agreed, the stage was set and she became the first of the afternoon’s readers.

In the version presented, the story of Ebenezer

Scrooge is divided into sections with the final stave, previously reserved for Bonisteel himself, read this year by Wilson, who admitted to it being a very emotional day. The duo shared a long relationship and Wilson has read the story alongside Bonisteel on several occasions. Wilson, in a nod to his dear friend, wore a tie and tails.

And for those in attendance, it was a fitting

tribute to the spirit of Roy Bonisteel, who spent much of his retirement creating a community space in a church where he had previously been a congregation member. His lifelong love of sharing stories with friends and family was evident in his own readings of A Christmas Carol, and that joy was aptly conveyed and shared this year by his friends at the podium.

Dan Clost tions to make decisions, they can do so intelligently based on a combination of dispassionate scientific knowledge and their own moral imperative.

Here is a gift that gardeners can give to themselves: a vegetable garden for their children or grandchildren. This is a guaranteed generational bonding: a treasured photograph shows one of our daughters gardening with her grandmother on the family homestead. What better way to teach your children and grandchildren than to give them the opportunity to take a wee seed and grow their own food?

If you don’t have room on your estate, then find a plot in a community garden. The children can be actively involved in deciding what to grow. But unfortunately, GR, if they do decide they want to grow beets, you must comply.

TRAVEL

Lifestyles - McAllen, located at the southern tip of Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley, attracts many avid birdwatchers. Well over 500 species have been spotted in this particular ecowonderland, including several that can be found only in this southernmost part of the U.S., right next to the Mexican border. After all, this valley offers not just one but a total of nine birding centres, and it’s located at the convergence of two major flyways, the Central and Mississippi, so it’s a great spot, during the winter, from which to view birds that have headed south.

The area is often referred to as “The Texas Tropics,” so it’s obviously very popular, too, with “snowbirds” from the Midwest and Canada. However, these winter tourists are not referred to as “snowbirds” here but simply as “Winter Texans.” After all, these avid birdwatchers and winter visitors are very important to the area’s economy, so they are, indeed, welcomed.

I recently checked out this popular spot for myself, and I soon discovered just how “hooked” a tourist can get pursuing various species of birds to add to one’s list of new sightings. Birders will be found in these hotspots from early morning until dusk, and the throng will include a long lineup of photographers with tripods and humungous lenses who are in search of the “best” bird photo of all.

One of these birding centres, located right in McAllen, is at Quinta Mazatlan, a historic Spanish Revival adobe hacienda that’s surrounded by 15 acres of lush tropical landscape and several birding trails. It was here that I saw my first chachalaca, a brown, chicken-like specimen that’s found only in this part of the country. The chachalaca has a very distinctive, loud, and raucous call, so it makes it very easy for the visitor to identify.

I also encountered my first yellow-breasted great kiskadee on this property, and it’s another bird found only in southern Texas in the U.S. This flycatcher has black and white stripes on its crown and sides, appears to be a kind of cross between a kingfisher and a meadowlark, and attracts attention by its incessant “kis-ka-dee” calls.

I also checked out the nearby Edinburg Scenic Wetlands, a 40-acre wetlands oasis where I found several winding footpaths and waterside observation platforms. I discovered this was a particularly great place from which to view such species as American avocets, least grebes, and green kingfishers. Furthermore, I visited the much larger Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, a 2,088-acre parcel that’s sometimes referred to as “the jewel of the National Wildlife Refuge System,” and here I ascended a tower and crossed a beautiful canopy bridge from which I could gaze at the Spanish moss dripping from the trees. While in this rare tropical landscape, I also visited an old Santa Ana cemetery, with its ancient wooden grave markers and timeworn wooden fence. I also strolled down a trail to the Rio Grande River itself, and this was a reminder of just how close I was to the Mexican border, for I was standing on American soil and gazing across the river at a ranch in Mexico. I even found a posted sign that warned me that the “AREA BEYOND THIS SIGN CLOSED. ALL PUBLIC ENTRY PROHIBITED.” Although I found all these birding spots rather fascinating, my personal favourite had to be the nearby Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park. After all, this is the headquarters of the World Birding Centre, and it’s regarded as a “treasure trove of Valley specialties.” I found two enclosed bird blinds, a two-storey wheelchair accessible observation tower, several bird feeder stations, and a birding wall. It was here that I saw many goldfronted woodpeckers and whitewinged doves at feeders. It was also here that I was introduced to green jays, McAllen’s official bird. This beautiful bird is, indeed, green-breasted (unlike our blue jay), with green wings, but there’s also some white, yellow and blue plumage, too.

This bird’s flashy colouring, boisterous nature, dry, throaty rattle, and frequent “cheh-chehcheh-cheh” call make it very easy to spot, and it was my favourite bird sighting of them all.

I spent a good deal of my time just watching them fly about and feed.

While in the McAllen area, I talked with Nancy Millar,

vice president and director of the McAllen Convention & Visitors’ Bureau, and I learned just how important birding and nature tourism is to this area. I also learned that McAllen has a lot of shopping centres, and these attract many Mexican shoppers, too. I was surprised to learn that “more Mexican money is spent here than in any other American city,” so shopping is “big business.”

I was also pleasantly surprised to find

that the shoppers, birders, and “Winter Texans” have resulted in many large RV parks being available in this area, as well as several luxury hotels and fine dining establishments. Indeed, this border city with a population of about 140,000 has a lot to attract the visitor. However, it’s primarily those awesome birds that keep the visitors returning year after year.

Three sopranos to sing the songs of Christmas News - Campbellford - One has black hair, one’s a blonde and the third one’s a redhead, and they’re very close friends who once lived together and started their professional singing careers at the Canadian Opera Company.

They’re also sopranos with “three very different voices” who “really love Christmas music,” says the redhead,

Trent Hills native Virginia Hatfield, who will welcome her friends to Campbellford this weekend when they join her for a Yuletide concert at Campbellford Baptist Church December 14.

“Jodi Henson is almost a dramatic soprano; [she has] a very big, rich voice,” says Hatfield, who describes herself as a “higher, lighter soprano.”

Megan Latham, on the other hand, is a mezzo soprano, capable of hitting the lower notes.

Given their different ranges they’ve never had to compete for roles “so we just have a very natural friendship, and we enjoy singing together very much,” Hatfield says.

“We wanted to see how our voices would sound [with] all three of us

singing our Christmas favourites,” so a year ago they recorded a CD they called Christmas at Casa Diva.

Pianist/composer Brian Finley, cofounder and artistic director of Western Arts Festival Theatre, arranged several of the songs on the CD, including White Christmas, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and one of his own compositions, Holy Night, Peaceful

Night.

A “great arranger of Christmas songs” who produced his own album of Christmas music years ago with his wife, soprano Donna Bennett, Finley “was a natural choice” to be involved in the making of Christmas at Casa Diva, Hatfield said. “I knew his arrangements would suit us.”

It was something she and her two colleagues had “been wanting to do for a really long time” and they’ll reprise their recorded performances at the concert Sunday night, which begins at 7 p.m. Admission is free.

Christmas at Casa Diva wasn’t Hatfield’s first foray into recorded music with Christmas as the theme. She sang two solos as well as a duet with John McDermott for the Christmas CD he made a year earlier.

The three women have gone their separate ways but keep in touch and still perform together whenever possible, as happened at Westben in the summer.

“We’re all making a go of it with our solo careers but we really love singing together and hope to do more of that in the future because the experience of making the CD was a really positive one and we’ve had some really great feedback about it,” Hatfield says.

Next May she will perform in concert at Koerner Hall in Toronto the title role of Judith, an oratorio written by 19th century English composer Hubert Parry.

“It’s never been done in Canada,” Hatfield said. “Musically, it’s very heroic, [with] lots of high notes.” She will be singing with the Pax Christi Chorale.

Market festival a Christmas tradition

News - Hastings - “The fun part is watching the people come through,” says Lillie Rienstra of the Hastings Market’s annual Christmas festival which celebrated its fifth anniversary on Saturday at Northumberland Tractor Parts. The show, which Rienstra organized, drew at least 16 vendors offering a range of crafty items, baked

goods, preserves, mixed media paintings, Christmas decorations and other festive ware.

“It’s a lot of fun; we spent the week preparing,” said Rienstra, presiding over her own table of garden fare that included a plethora of sweet potatoes which have thrived this season on her eight-acre property.

“I hardly bought any groceries this

year, everything was out of the garden,” she added She planned to do her own shopping closer to the event’s end at 4 p.m.

“I have stuff people won’t find every week in the grocery store,” added Anne Dillman of Castleton. “I try to do something festive; something you can’t get all the time. I also like to know what

my kids are eating.”

Dillman says Christmas baking, and cooking in general, is a family-wide venture at her 100-acre farm property.

“I have five kids and they just go crazy [at Christmas time].”

She plans her Christmas baking out one month in advance and “then just take my time.” Her children, 12, 16,

18, 20 and 23 years of age, “enjoy it as much as I do.”

There’s also a bit of a method in having her children participate in kitchen chores.

“They need to learn how to cook before they move out. They cook for me. Some of them enjoy it [more than others].”

Premiere of movie features local voice-over actor

By Sue Dickens

a showing or viewing of the premiere in Newmarket and one in Barrie â&#x20AC;Ś and now there will be one here in Campbellford,â&#x20AC;? said Martha Murphy, executive director with the Foundation, who along with her friend Marth worked their contacts to bring the holiday show to town.

When Marth read for the movie he tried for the role of Pete the miniature horse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was more of a comedic character and I did two or three reads. Normally if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear back within a week you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the job.

work,â&#x20AC;? he said pragmatically, while talking about how he got the role. He did not get a call back, at least not immediately, so later when he was called and asked if he would be Clark the dog, he was surprised and excited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pete the Miniature horse has one tenth the lines of Clark the dog,â&#x20AC;? he said enthusiastically. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact he has the most lines of all the animals in the ďŹ lm. I was very happy about that.â&#x20AC;?

in partnership with the Campbellford/ Seymour Community Foundation in support of the local Flourish campaign.

Marth brings to this role more than 20 years of performing on radio and several years of voice-over contracts such as a 15-second Boston Pizza commercial he did about three months ago that appears during NFL football games.

MarVista Digital Entertainment (MVDE) brings the holiday magic here this season with this premiere in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brain Power Studios is the distributor and they are premiering the movie for the cast so they had R0013041138

Entertainment - Campbellford - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi. We need to talk. You need to convince your dad to let us keep our farm.â&#x20AC;?

And so the words spoken by Clark the Dog set the stage in the newly released festive holiday comedy premiere My Dad is Scrooge featuring local voiceover actor Joey Marth of Warkworth.

The movie is having its global debut at the Aron Theatre. The Aron is donating the entertainment venue with its state-ofthe-art digital equipment to the showing

kids. It used to be that adults played all the kids in cartoons and movies but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the case anymore; it is child actors now. They are looking for seven-year-olds to do the voice-overs,â&#x20AC;? he explained.

The guest appearance and educational aspect of the event are a bonus as far as the organizers are concerned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important is thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something special in this community. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got all this amazing talent here.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people like Joe and other people too, great artists and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got this Aron Theatre and the Community

Foundation and you start putting this all together and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something special,â&#x20AC;? said Russ Christianson founding director of the Aron Theatre.

Students attending the movie are being asked to donate a toonie if they can.

The movie times are 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 17, and Thursday, December 18.

The daytime shows have been offered to the area schools and are ďŹ lling up fast so there may or may not be room for the public but the evening shows at 7:30 p.m. are open to everyone.

News - Batawa - â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team has been making snow like crazy when Mother Nature has given us the right temperatures,â&#x20AC;? says Batawa Ski Hill general manager Andrew Rusynyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every bit of snow weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made since November 14 has got us ready for opening.â&#x20AC;?

The hill will open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. this Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Sunday for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sneak Peakâ&#x20AC;? weekend.

Everyone is welcome, and all types of season passes will be honoured while the lifts are running through the weekend. Official opening will then follow on Friday, December 19, with extended hours during the holiday period, with the exception of Christmas Day. Rusynyk said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to opening up and seeing the results of all of the work weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing.â&#x20AC;?

A new snow-grooming cat and an expanded array of rental equipment will make the experience even more

enjoyable this year at the not-forprofit community ski hill.

Weather conditions in December are not always predictable enough to ensure a firm opening date. There have been some years when the ski hill has not opened until January, but this year Mother Nature has cooperated to allow skiing to start before Christmas on seven of the nine runs in Batawa.

Sales continue for Season Passes and the popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;Booter Cardâ&#x20AC;? loyalty card. The Booter Card is available for purchase this year at the Ski Hill office as well as at College Sports and Dougâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bicycle in Belleville after new partnerships were formed.

A much-loved gathering place for friends and families since 1959, Batawa Ski Hill offers adventure and discovery all year long.

In winter, ski and snowboard enthusiasts enjoy nine runs, including a terrain park, day and night with energy efficient LED lights.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forever in Our Heartsâ&#x20AC;?

A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone would have saved you, You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one can ever fill.

A light from our household is gone, A voice from our love is stilled, A place in our vacant home, Which never can be filled.

Some may think you are forgotten, Though on earth you are no more, But in our memory you are with us, As you always were before.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, A part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

Your precious memories are for keepsakes, With which we never part, God has you safely in his keeping, But we have you forever in our hearts!
