Stirling — At 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 12, the Stirling-Rawdon Police Service ceased to exist and was replaced by the Centre Hastings Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police. “I look forward to working with the OPP,” said Mayor Rodney Cooney, who emphasized that the change was

strictly due to the economies of scale. Stirling had done its own policing since Jan. 14, 1901, when the first constable was hired. “It's bittersweet,” commented Constable Scott Preston, but he said the change is providing more opportunities for advancement for officers from the SRPS who have switched to the

OPP. The detachment commander, Staff Sergeant Scott Semple, said nine new officers have been hired to work out of the Madoc office, bringing the total to 43. Of those, six are former officers from the SRPS. “The officers that are joining us will be going to Orillia (to the Provincial

Police Academy) for four weeks for experienced officer training,” he said. “I think it's important for the community to know that we have several officers in our detachment that live in Stirling-Rawdon, “ Semple added. “For them, they finally get to work where they live, which brings a community element to policing.”

Township wants solution to out-of-control Lacing up for the W8 Run camping near Bottle Lake BY BILL FREEMAN

Havelock – Councillors and ratepayers want a solution to out-of-control camping on crown land near Bottle Lake and they’d like it in place by next season. The longstanding issue has escalated in recent years with the presence of more and less respectful campers taking advantage of free stay on crown land which can last up to 21 straight days. Meetings (at least one with Minister of Natural Resources Kathryn McGarry) and monitoring hasn’t checked the situation. “It’s been getting out of

hand in terms of destruction and using private property,” says DeputyMayor Jim Martin. What started out as a “small little campground” has evolved into something much larger, said Martin. The township’s been told the contentious area won’t be posted as “no camping” so the municipality is pressing the MNR for more effective enforcement and additional tools (perhaps land use permits) “to find a way to regulate this and get it under control because it’s totally out of control.” “It’s opened up from three to four little camp

sites to big trailers on them,” an exasperated Martin said during a recent meeting with MNR officials with a large group of ratepayers watching on. “The fire chief goes there every weekend to talk to them; the police have been in there numerous times. We’re just looking for some help.” The municipality is prepared to look at a land use permit policy like the one North Frontenac adopted to curtail similar problems but is leery of getting into the business of managing a campground. Council support stronger and regular enforce-

ment and not just afterthe-fact visits which lead to no charges. “Enforcement is the bigger part of it,” Martin said. “We don’t have all the resources to look after this ourselves.” “There’s no stick,” Councillor Hart Webb agreed. “I’d like to sit down with the officer who works back there and learn more about the enforcement side of it.” Webb wants “pro-active” enforcement and not visits two or three days after a complaint. He also wants stiffer fines that send a clear message to campers. “ We h av e

enough to do in the township rather than regulating camp sites on Bottle Lake. This is an MNR issue,” said Webb. The risk of a forest fire is real, he added “It’s mushroomed big time and big problems come with it,” Councillor Barry Pomeroy agreed. “A lot of these free campers don’t care. They drive away and leave fires burning.” Kasshabog Lake cottager Terry Rees says camping itself is not the problem. “We don’t’ mind people fishing and enjoying the lake. It’s the abusers, it’s the garbage, it’s the fires; there are tremendous problems with garbage in the lake.” Rees says action hasn’t matched the talk that’s gone on over the years. He felt they should have been speaking to the MNR’s enforcement arm. “Everyone has expectations that the public service is going to do something about abusers of public land.”

for The Bridge Hospice

BY SUE DICKENS

Warkworth — Runners, walkers, joggers and budding athletes still in preschool are being invited once again to this Saturday’s W8 Run in Warkworth. Serving up three races — an “eightmiler,” a five-kilometre and a kids onekilometre — the W8 offers fun, safe opportunities for participants to take a foot tour of the scenic roads and trails around Warkworth on Oct. 21, all in support of The Bridge Hospice. Now in its 13th year, the “all-comer” is well-organized, chip-timed, and famous for home-baked goodies for finishers and unique prizes for winners. There has been a steady growth in the number of female participants, as well as runners from farther afield. Last year, the W8 saw participants set a couple of records, including a record number of runners (130) and a total of $7,000 for the Bridge Hospice. This year, organizers are hoping to top both those figures. Online registration is now open online at www.thebridgehospice.com/events and on race day from 8 a.m. at the Warkworth arena. The kids one-kilometre starts at 9 a.m., while the eight-miler and five-kilometre start at 9:15 a.m.

Trent Hills loses “a great leader” with death of mayor Macmillan BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills – In the end Hector Macmillan did go gentle into the night, his body so weakened by his battle with pancreatic cancer that it could not withstand the pneumonia that claimed his life within days of setting in. He died on Oct. 10, just 59, and and a year away from completing his fourth term as mayor of Trent Hills. But before his voice was silenced during his final days at home surrounded by family, he raged against Ontario's health-care system that had denied him – and others – the surgery

he ultimately had done in Germany, a procedure he insisted extended his life by almost a year. His doctors had told him he would be dead by Christmas, 2016. He almost added a year to that grim prognosis after undergoing a procedure known as irreversible electroporation, in which a device known as a NanoKnife uses electrical pulses to destroy cancerous cells. Upon his return home he resumed his campaign against the bureaucracy and through sheer will prevailed, convincing the provincial government to

undertake a $2.1 million three-year clinical trial of the minimally invasive form of treatment that's used around the world. That battle, which made headlines across Canada, was remembered in tributes paid Macmillan at a service celebrating his life held at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church on Oct. 14. “There are bureaucrats in OHIP right now who are still afraid of him, and probably in the Ministry of Health (as well),” Progressive Conservative MPP Lisa MacLeod (Nepean-Carleton) said. She has proposed a compassionate catastrophic program be set up in Ontario for those suffering from a rare disease or whose treatments might be experimental or complementary, but are not yet covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Program. Macmillan “was loved ... and respected by so many people,” she said, for having “pushed the envelope, not just for himself, but for thousands if not millions of cancer patients” across Canada. “I couldn't think of a better legacy (or) a more fitting legacy for Hector than ... the pilot project,” MacLeod said. “He epitomized what a politician is supposed to be.” Liberal MPP Lou Rinaldi (Northumberland-Quinte West) said Macmillan was “a special person” and “a pit bull” in championing causes he believed in. Trent Hills Deputy Mayor Bob

OPP Constable Daryl McColl led the walk through town honouring Trent Hills Mayor Macmillan, followed by piper Sean Cleaton, from Trenton. The procession passed beneath a Canadian flag hung between two platform trucks parked in front of the bowling alley that the late mayor and his wife had purchased and renovated.

Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake escorted Hector Macmillan’s widow, Sandy, into St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, carrying the urn containing the cremated remains of the late mayor. John Campbell/Metroland

Crate, now the acting mayor, said Macmillan “respected the character and history of each individual community, but his vision and focus was always on the municipality as a whole.” He was “driven to advocate for the best interests of Trent Hills (and) fight the fight that needed` to be fought,” he said. “Council is sad to have lost a great leader and friend.” Mike Rutter, who served almost 12 years as chief administrative officer while Macmillan was mayor, said he knew his former boss “would never die from a heart attack because it couldn't stop.” “He cared so much and was so compassionate ... He was an amazing leader.” Jillian Koplowitz, Macmillan's sister who stood by his side in his clashes with those in charge of Ontario's “inefficient” health-care system, gave a brief account of that battle.

But, she also spoke about what her brother had done for the people of Trent Hills. “He understood and deeply valued community for its own sake and for all it makes possible (as) a way of life,” she said. He was “never afraid to do the right thing,” even if meant raising taxes to help the hospital to acquire a CT scanner, for example, or to pay for muchneeded infrastructure improvements. He pushed for a second bridge in Campbellford out of concern about the future safety of the existing structure and was rewarded for his efforts when the province approved the project put forward by Northumberland County. “How easy it would have been to kick the can down to the next council or the one after it,” Koplowitz said, but her brother didn't, even though it “was a very divisive issue, the most difficult one of his career as mayor.” Macmillan was a great friend of the Trent Hills Fire Department and firefighters showed their appreciation for his support with a walk through the town to the church. They were joined by members of council as they trailed a fire truck draped in black driven by Fire Chief Tim Blake. With him was Macmillan's wife of 36 years, Sandy, who had with her the urn containing her husband's cremated remains.

The space has been cleared with some garlic already planted but Dawson says theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend the winter working on fundraising strategies and coming up with a final design layout. The HRA is repurposing some of its old wooden planter boxes for garden use. The group has received initial soil and mulch donations from Nicholson Brothers in Campbellford and resident Brenda Henderson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a nice place to garden, very relaxing,â&#x20AC;? says Dawson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just the serenity of it with the river on one side and the embankment on the other side.

Hastings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Addressing some of the food insecurity issues that exist in the village is one of the goals of the Hastings Community Edibles Garden. The initiative is championed by a working group within the Hastings Revitalization Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks and trails subcommittee. The garden will be located on Front Street East across from The Doors Guest House on property donated for public use to the group by owner Skye Morrison. The garden will be on the lower level with the upper level reserved for related community events. The accessible garden will feature a mixture of raised beds (of various sizes) and some in-ground beds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still in its infancy at this point,â&#x20AC;? says Dawn Dawson, project co-lead.

OPINION

Adult supervision needed at White House Here’s the scenario. Late one evening Donald Trump is watching Fox News and a report comes on that North Korea is planning to launch a missile that can reach the United States. (Kim Jongregime has said Gwynne Dyer un’s it is going to do that one of these days – but only as a test flight landing in the ocean somewhere, not as an attack.) Trump misunderstands, and thinks Pyongyang is going to launch a missile at the United States. After all, there was a graphic with the report that shows the trajectory of the North Korean missile reaching the US, and Trump trusts Fox much more than his own intelligence services. So he orders all US strategic forces to go to DEFCON 1: Defence Readiness Condition One – nuclear war is imminent. The North Koreans spot all the unusual activity in the American forces – leave cancelled in Strategic Air Command, US nuclear subs in port sailing with zero warning leaving part of their crews behind, etc. – and conclude that an American preemptive attack is imminent. The North Koreans go to their own equivalent of DEFCON 1: mobilizing and dispersing their armed forces, evacuating their leadership from the capital to some bunker in the countryside, and so on. American intelligence reports all this activity, and this time Trump actually listens to them. So he orders a disarming strike on all North Korean nuclear weapons and facilities. With US nuclear weapons, of course. Nothing else would do the job. That’s how the Second Korean War starts. Not many Americans would be killed, and probably no civilians, because in fact North Korea doesn’t yet have any long-range missiles that can accurately deliver nuclear weapons on the United States, but millions would die in both parts of Korea. With luck, the Chinese would stay out even as their North Korean ally is reduced to rubble. It’s just a scenario, but it’s one that keeps many people awake at night – including many senior people in the US military. That’s why reports have been surfacing recently that the US Secretary of Defence, General James Mattis, the National Security Adviser, General H.R McMaster, and Trump’s Chief of Staff, General John Kelly, have made a secret

pact that all three will never be abroad at the same time. Why not? Because at least one very senior military officer must always be in the country to monitor orders coming from the White House, and countermand them if necessary. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of these reports, but I believe them. I was already assuming that some arrangement like that was in place. Mattis, McMaster and Kelly are serious, experienced and professional military officers, and it would be a dereliction of duty for them not to ensure that there is always at least one responsible adult between Trump and the nuclear button. If one of these generals actually found himself in the position of having to stop Trump, he would face an agonizing decision. All his training tells him that he must obey civilian authority, and he will certainly be court-martialled if he disobeys a presidential order. On the other hand, he must not allow millions of human beings to die because of a stupid mistake. I’m sure they think about it, and I doubt that any of them knows which way he would actually jump if the situation arose. Providing adult supervision is a tricky business, especially when the child is technically your superior. And having said all this, it occurs to me that some senior military officers in North Korea must face the same dilemma. They too have a child-man in charge, and they will be all too aware that if “little rocket man”, as Trump calls him, stumbles into a war with the United States, then they, their families, and practically everybody they have ever met will be killed. Their dilemma is even worse, because they serve a petulant god-king who has the power of life and death over them and their families. To stop Kim Jong-un, if he were about to make a fatal mistake, they would have to kill him and accept that they would almost certainly be killed themselves immediately afterwards. Would they actually do that? They don’t even know the answer to that themselves, but I‘m sure they think about it. There is probably not going to be a Second Korean War. Probably neither set of senior officers is ever going to face this ultimate crisis. A subtle form of adult supervision is exercised on a daily basis in both capitals, because even the loosest of loose cannons has to work through other people in order to get his orders turned into actions. But things have come to a pretty pass when we can have this discussion without sounding crazy.

Corporate snakes slither in Sears wake Editorial by Chris Malette This editorial is being written in the cavernous, mostly empty shell of the former Nortel building. You remember Nortel? The corporate goliath that was the world-beating electronics and research leader that saw its infancy in the former Northern Electric, which begat Northern Telecom which eventually became the global rock star known as Nortel. It all went pffffft! in a spectacular cloud of corporate greed and mismanagement. Look at the headlines today in Belleville. Sears – Sears of all companies – is dissolving like butter in a skillet after several years of, wait for it… corporate greed and mismanagement. Why, in this region alone, between the corporate losses of Nortel and Sears in Belleville and GE in Peterborough, upwards of 3,000-well paying jobs – jobs with good pay, healthy benefits and pensions – have gone into the ether. That’s a heavy blow for any part of the country, let alone one without a particularly dense manufacturing sector. But, the boardroom bandits will have made out okay, you can bet. It’s not anti-capitalistic commie-speak to deride the sorts of individuals who have gutted companies like Nortel and Sears while lining their pockets with multi-million dollar dividends and payouts. This isn’t a knock on free enterprise, it’s a call for a bounty on the types of corporate players, weasels and manipulators who play roulette with the lives of people who counted on those jobs, pensions and benefits. All that’s left in their wake, after all, are shelf-stocking zombie jobs at places like dollar stores with not a sniff of dental care or a pension in sight. Toronto Star business columnist David Olive painted a grim picture of the most evil among the players in the downfall of Sears and Sears Canada’s decision last week to begin liquidating all its Canadian assets. Eddie Lampert, 55, is a U.S. hedge fund manager who has long controlled Chicago-based Sears Holdings and is still the largest shareholder in its Canadian affiliate, Sears Canada. Lampert, said Olive, “has a demonstrated incompetence in retailing with few equals in the annals of North American merchandizing.” But, he’s making out like a bandit in the collapse of the company he’s ridden into the dust. According to Business Insider, Lampert has blamed the company’s decline on everything from shifts in consumer spending to the rise of e-commerce, and even — at times — the weather. More recently, he’s taken to attacking the media, saying reports speculating on a Sears bankruptcy are thwarting his efforts to turn the business around. “Every time people use the word bankruptcy,

somebody who reads that doesn’t get past that word,” he told the Chicago Tribune in a recent interview. “It makes it very unfair for us, and it’s a very uneven playing field for us.” Sears Canada having struggled for so long – its liquidation follows four straight years of losses – makes it possible to miss how significant a place on the retail landscape Sears Canada has occupied. Deeply-rooted in Canada, having launched in the 1950s, Sears Canada at the time of its death had a sprawling network of big-city and suburban department-stores, a network of small-town catalogue distribution outlets and the renowned Wish Book catalogue. While 2,900 Sears Canada employees are losing their jobs, benefits and pension plans, the company’s CEO and senior managers are getting bonuses. The managers are receiving retention bonuses over the next few months, under Sears Canada’s Key Employee Retention Plan (KERP). It was approved by the Ontario Superior Court last week when it also approved the company’s liquidation plans. The terminated employees, meanwhile, will not be getting any severance pay and will lose all benefits and pension plans. Court documents show many examples of terminated employees who have written their concerns about the lay offs. “I am one of the Sears employees having a termination without severance,” said one. “I am 60 years old and have been employed 34.74 years by Sears Canada. I’ve always held a manager or assistant-manager position. The recent turn of events has seriously threatened the financial security and health of my family. The loss of severance is a significant loss.” Some 20 years ago, there was hoopla and fanfare like few could remember in Belleville – save perhaps the days when the city went on a threeday bender when the hockey Macs brought home the world championship – when Sears built the massive catalogue distribution centre. There were grand feasts, spectacular toasts, that only matched the Herculean construction job that took almost two years to complete to build one of the most state-of-the-art wired warehouses in the country. In the end, nothing worked to save that marvel of modern retailing or the jobs that came with it. But the top execs and hedge fund investors lined their pockets as employees in places like Belleville’s Quinte Mall store and the catalogue distribution centre started nervously watching mid-level managers eye the door for a safe, fast get-away.

restoration and preservation.” Replacing aging equipment used to perform cataract surgery was “considered the highest priority, with the option of providing other related equipment if additional funds were available.” Cataract surgery is one of the most common procedures performed at PRHC. During the first half of 2017, pledges from 20 area Lions and Lioness Clubs reached $87,500, which was followed by an LCIF major grant that would provide matching funds based on the amount local clubs had raised to date; the grant boosted the Lions for Sight total to $175,000. The total has now gone beyond the $175,000. As of Sept. 25, it has climbed to $186,300, says Norwood Lions president Barry Walsh. The “passion and commitment” of area clubs has pushed the campaign beyond its initial goal of $175,000. Since June, the LCIF has given out $650,000 in major catastrophe grants to support relief and reconstruction work in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, the Caribbean, Mexico, India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Japan.

Scary tales for Halloween in Campbellford

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — Sitting at her dining room table surrounded by photographs glimmering in candlelight with images of oddlooking lights and shapes, Valerie Laraby talks about her life as an empath. “I have lots of pictures of different spirits and amazing pictures of spirits,” she said calmly as she proceeded to tell her story about ghosts in her 150-year old home, ghosts that the Peterborough Paranormal group has investigated. Laraby admits there are skeptics about her claims — the ability to see and hear spirits. An empath is described as one who “is extremely sensitive to the emotions and energy of other people, animals and places. They have the ability to

Fight the Moonlight musical comes to Tweed BY TAYLOR BERTELINK

Tweed & Company Theatre will be putting the town in the spirit of Halloween with their one-of-akind musical workshop inspired by a haunted legend based in Tweed. “Fight the Moonlight is based on a local legend, the Loup Garou, a werewolf legend from Tweed and Hastings County with the idea behind it being — don’t misbehave or the Loup Garou will get you,” said Tim Porter, artistic director for the Tweed &amp; Company Theatre. The musical tells the story of a small hamlet, Windy Hollow, as a strange legend comes to life during the super moon solstice. There will only be two chances for local audiences to get a sneak peak into the creative process and experience the new show, Fight the Moonlight before the rest of the world. Porter explained that this workshop production is essentially a trial before doing a full production. “We are encouraging people stay after the show where they will have the opportunity to talk with musical composer, Tricia Black to offer their opinion — what worked, what didn’t, and we will go back, do some rewrites and hopefully do a full major production at some point,” said Porter. The performers will be using their scripts, as they will be making changes leading up to, and potentially between the performances, so that they can adapt and refine based on the audience’s reactions. “This is something that is very commonly done in Toronto and New York to shows that they believe will eventually make their way to Broadway. So they do

workshops to improve the show,” Porter said. While the musical workshop will be informal, Porter assures the public saying it will be, “a great night of entertainment.” “It’s definitely for mature audiences — it’s very funny, entertaining and can be chilling at moments. Our shows are known for the high calibre of talent and this show has the best group of singers we have ever had,” said Porter. Fight the Moonlight will play Oct. 20 and 21, both at 7:30 p.m. at the Marble Arts Centre in Actinolite. Tickets are available for $15 each online at, www. tweedandcompany.com, or info@tweedandcompany.com, or in person at the Tweed News.

Campbellford – Spinners and weavers gathered at St. John’s United Church hall Tues., Oct. 3 for the 28th annual regional “spinin”, a day that included shared expertise and interest in this ancient craft. A variety of fibres for sale gave spinners the opportunity to stock up as the hall filled with members from many local clubs who brought their spinning wheels with them. Hosted by the Warkworth Spinners and Weavers Guild participants came from as far away as Brockville and Belleville, Prince Edward County and as close as Norwood, Havelock, Campbellford and of course, Warkworth. This year Joan McCulloch, who has organized the regional spinin since it started, turned the task over to Grace Clare, of Campbellford, who has won many awards at the Royal Winter Fair for her sheep fibre. In 2011 she won the Grand Champion Fleece Award and in 2012 she won the Reserve Champion Fleece Award. Clare, whose sheep farm is called Shepherd’s Hill, had a table set up with her fibre which was for sale. She has been with the Warkworth group for 17 years. Jill Purcell of Campbellford who has been a member of the Warkworth group since 2005

said she finds spinning to be very relaxing. “I can fall asleep doing it,” she said laughing while spinning. The “County Spinners” from Prince Edward County, most of whom are also members of the Belleville Spinners and Weavers Guild, were gathered in a group to socialize and spin. Mary Connor of Picton, who is a newcomer to the guild said, “It’s a good group of women. I find it relaxing and you have control over the yarn you use, the colour and the projects you make.” Karen Lammes of Cherry Valley said she finds spinning “very meditative.” She makes mitts, hats, scarves and more. The club’s president Diane Torney of Wellington has been a member of the guild since about 2003. “I love the colours of the different yarns,” she noted. June Johnstone of the Belleville guild spoke of when she first began spinning. “I was a failure for nine of the 10 lessons I took way back in the 1970s but on the 10th I made a thread so I was overjoyed and I bought a spinning wheel. Once you get the knack it’s easy,” she said with a grin. The Warkworth guild has about 40 members who get together the second Wednesday of each month at the library in Campbellford.

Stirling library features fabric artist Shirley Foster’s whimsical works BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling — In the glass cabinet in the entry to the Stirling Public Library, there is a collection of whimsical birds, trees, ornament, pins and tiny landscapes made with meticulous detail. They are the work of fabric artist Shirley Foster of Belleville, and they are all made with recycled bits of fabric. Most are quilted and decorated with beads, buttons, lace, ribbon and embroidery. She also adds crocheted accents to many of her pieces. Even the tiny landscapes are made of fabric, with the flowers made of embroidery floss. “I like working small,” Foster said. “Most of the things I work with have been reclaimed or upcycled. I like using the odds and sods that everybody else would walk away from.” She especially loves old Victorian fabric crafts, including crazy quilting and felt art. Her favourite is crazy quilting, which follows no set pattern or rules and traditionally has fancy hand stitchery. “You just kind of make up the combination as you go,” she said. She uses very traditional stitch patterns, but combines them to make something new and interesting, but

added, “The simplest stitches can sometimes be the most effective.” Foster has been sewing since childhood. “My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was a little girl,” she said. Foster has been selling her creations for about 10 years and has exhibited them at Art in the Park in Stirling and at Gallery 121 in Belleville. In the new year, Foster will be retiring from a career as a registered nurse, and plans to spend more time on her fabric art. She hopes to enter more shows and also wants to teach workshops. She also plans to open a store on Etsy next year, and will have a website. In the meantime, she can be reached at bellishments@hotmail.com. Foster's fabric art is part of the Stirling Art Gallery's fall exhibition and will be on display throughout October and November.

Belleville resident Shirley Foster loves to do stitchery and crazy quilting like this piece. Many of her small fabric art creations are on display now at the Stirling library. Terry McNamee/Metroland

Land Knowledge Circle Project Underway TAYLOR BERTELINK

Calling all land lovers in Madoc. The Land Between charity, in partnership with Curve Lake First Nation and Hastings Stewardship Council invites local farmers, hunters, anglers, bee keepers, gardeners to come to the Land Knowledge Circle on Nov. 4 in Madoc. “It’s a very simple idea — we are just convening all the people who work with, love or watch the land, to share their testimonies of the changes they’ve been seeing in the land and wildlife and to chronicle that evidence,” said Leora Berman, CEO of the Land Between charity. The Land Circles project began 12 years ago after Berman began seeing more and more cuts and changes in the way policies were played out in the regions land policies. “I began convening different interest circles to figure out what we needed to look at in this region and it just evolved from there to be the most interesting, diverse and responsible way of doing business,” she said. Berman believes that those who live on the land and with the land can provide answers. “Increasingly, governments are less able to engage with landowners in meaningful ways, and resources are being man-

aged at regional and provincial scales, often without sufficient local knowledge. They are the ones that are noticing, seeing and working with these changes,” she explained. The Land Knowledge Circle meeting is free to attend and will be held Saturday, Nov. 4 in Madoc at the Arts Centre Hastings from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This will be one of four meetings that will take place across the region and Berman hopes to replicate the event year-toyear. “After the circle meeting we will be sharing the information on frogcircle.ca, a platform for sharing information about land and wildlife,” said Berman. Proceedings from the meetings will also be published to validate the voice of citizens and to provide a basis for resource management by groups, organizations and potentially governments too, she explained. “The power is with the people and not with the government and I think we have forgotten that, so to get back to grassroots and reality — that’s why this is important,” said Berman. To register for the event email, info@ thelandbetween.ca or register online at, knowledgecircles.ca.

Diabetes Conversations Gateway’s Nurse Practitioner / Certified Diabetes Educator and Pharmacist will be hosting a FREE 4-week diabetes introductory workshop.

More than $10,000 raised at the first Walk For Alzheimers

TAYLOR BERTELINK

The high winds and rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of walkers at the first Walk for Alzheimers on Sunday in Tweed. The Kiwanis Club of Tweed and community partners hope to mark a new path as their first event had approximately 25 registered participants, raising more than $10,000 for the Alzheimers Society of Hastings Prince-Edward. “Right now there are approximately half a million Canadians who are affected by Alzheimers or other related dementias — it’s something that is on everyone's mind. We all know someone who has been affected by the disease,” said Mauren Corrigan, executive director for the Alzheimers Society of Hastings Prince-Edward for the past three years. The Alzheimers Society of Hastings Prince-Edward is a local not-for-profit that provides support and services to local people with memory loss or dementia as well as

their families in the form of support groups, individual counselling, and a variety of other programs. “It’s important to offer a community of supports for these people so they can live well and we offer them this support and provide these opportunities,” said Corrigan. Participants gathered for the cause at the Tweed Fairgrounds at 1 p.m., rain coats at the ready and walked a half, one or two kilometre route. The top three fundraisers received prizes for their efforts. Carolyn Johnston was the top fundraiser of the event raising $1,700, runner up, Jack Gorman raising $1,400 and Jack Robinson raising $1,200. “They (the Kiwanis) did absolutely phenomenal for their first walk — what they have been able to pull together in just a few short months is amazing to see,” said Corrigan. The group hopes to remove the stigma that surrounds Alzheimer’s by discussing it openly and raising more funds and awareness to find

a cure. “It's been a wonderful lift for all of us Kiwanians, particularly the committee and I’ve got to thank the Alzheimers group for their support — I think it’s a real inspiration on what this community has come and done together,” said Jack Gorman, past president and member of the Kiwanis Club of Tweed. Gorman explained that a number of years ago he unfortunately lost his mother to Alzheimers disease. “These events are critically important, most of all to find a cure — this is absolutely the worst disease, I feel, to happen to someone — it’s horrible and we need to work on a target to find a cure for Alzheimers to change this,” he said. Next year the Kiwanis Club of Tweed hopes to extend the event to other communities such as Stirling, Madoc and Marmora.

Chocolate company’s creations ‘a little bit daring’

Pumpkin parade will light up evening

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Warkworth — Angela Roest's job is the envy of many: she's a chocolatier. She became one seven years ago after a career of making jewelry had become “very time-consuming and repetitive.” When a chocolate boutique in Peterborough was looking to hire someone part-time, she seized the opportunity. Until then, “I didn't imagine how much creative energy went into chocolate creation,” Roest said. “I thought it was like baking muffins. Follow a recipe, pop in the oven and you're done. Presto. But it's not like that at all.” She began waking up each morning thinking about different chocolate recipes and flavours. Her thoughts eventually turned to launching her own business. Which she has now done, in Warkworth. Centre & Main Chocolate Co. held its grand opening on Oct. 13 in a building previously occupied by the Sprucewood Handmade Cookie Co. before it relocated to Cobourg, having outgrown its former home. “We're delighted that we could find space in such a beautiful village,” Roest said. She and her husband and their daughter live in the building and work together as a family. Roest “creates everything,” blending chocolate with spices, herbs, flowers and fruit. Her vision is “to create a line of gourmet bars ... (with) flavour combinations that you wouldn't be able to find on grocery store shelves. Things that are a little bit daring but not intimidating.” The flavours range from Earl Grey caramelized banana to spiced pumpkin to blueberry bee pollen. “I love trying different combinations.” “Not all of them work,” she admitted. “There is a process of trial and error,” but she never lacks volunteers for taste tests, with friends and family being “very willing martyrs to the cause.” Since setting up shop she has been “creating something new just about every 10 days.” Roest is still “figuring out what people are really craving. So far, they like everything,” including her sugar-free confections. “It's exciting to have a chocolate that's not just for diabetics, but people who are looking to lower their sugar intake,” she said.

Belgium chocolate was considered the best for many, many years, but the notion that it is still “the gold standard is outdated,” Roest said. Roest uses “ethically-sourced” chocolate, which means the farmers who grow the cacao are paid a living wage for their crops. Most aren't on huge plantations but own small family plots of land, she said. Making artisan chocolate might seem “very glamorous, but the hours are very, very long,” Roest said. “It's hard work and it's very precise.” It's also “worthwhile (and) intensely satisfying.” After an exhausting day, “I remind myself my job is to create things that give people such pleasure” — which makes what she does so “wonderful.”

Norwood — The Asphodel-Norwood Public Library will host its first ever pumpkin parade Nov. 1, similar to an even bigger celebration held every year along Sorauren Avenue Park in Toronto. The Norwood Pumpkin Parade will take place from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. along the inside edge of the walking path that encircles the community centre playground. Organizers hope it sparks something similar to Sorauren Avenue's post-Halloween spectacle, which now attracts as many as 2,000 pumpkins. The library board doesn’t expect 2,000 but they hope residents of all ages bring their candlelit Halloween pumpkins to the community centre park for the celebration. Library board chair Debbie Lynch raised the idea last December. “The board jumped on board with the concept for a free, fun, inclusive and positive community building event,” says Lynch. There’s no competition and no prizes but Lynch says it’s an enjoyable way for local residents to show off their Jack-o-Lantern carving handiwork and to admire the creativity and spooky silliness of others. The intention, she says, is to pro-

Have You Had Your Hearing Tested Lately?

duce a “relaxing and entertaining free family stroll to admire carved or decorated pumpkins.” The Sorauren Avenue event started in 2004 as a community-driven neighbourhood celebration and it’s now a major attraction with spectators visiting the park from around Toronto to get a glimpse of Halloween artistry. Similar events have sprung up in Montreal and Upper Manhattan. There are at least eight in Toronto alone. All the pumpkins will be taken to the Asphodel-Norwood transfer station for recycling after the parade so participants are doing their part to help with municipal waste reduction, Lynch adds. Organizers would welcome volunteers with trucks or trailers to help transport the pumpkins to the station. High school students looking to add a few community hours to their résumé should contact the library. Organizers are encouraging local pumpkin producers to donate extra pumpkins to library branches in Norwood and Westwood and local schools for carving. The community centre canteen will be open during the evening.

Campbellford invited to become a ‘trail town’ on the Trent-Severn BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford — More people would visit Campbellford and spend money here if it were to become a “trail town” on the Trent-Severn Waterway, a regional tourism organization has suggested. Kawarthas Northumberland raised that possibility in a special workshop

it held Oct. 11 to gauge local interest in having Campbellford join a network of communities along the waterway. About 30 people attended the meeting that was led by tourism expert Amy Camp. “We hope they leave tonight with a better understanding of things that

businesses ... (and) communities could do to create a more welcoming atmosphere ...(for) outdoor recreationists,” she said before the meeting. “We're also hoping to energize them around the idea of taking some steps to better connect to the Trent-Severn,” and “leverage” what it has to offer. Campbellford and Lakefield were

the two communities chosen for the pilot project. Kawarthas Northumberland, one of 13 regional tourism organizations funded by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, is “looking at what it would take to create a regional trail town program on the Trent-Severn Waterway,” Camp said. The waterway, a national historic site of Canada, “is a trail that just happens to be a trail of water,” said Brenda Wood, executive director of Kawarthas Northumberland. “Our ultimate goal is to bring more visitors into these towns and villages to explore farther and, ultimately, to stay longer and spend more money,” she said. Each community can try to boost tourism on its own but “there is much more power (in) numbers.” It will require “community champions” to move the project forward “under our guidance.” Wood said. “This isn't something ... a regional tourism organization can take on ourselves.” There are 15 communities along the waterway that runs through the Kawarthas Northumberland region, which extends from Campbellford to Kirkfield and includes Peterborough,

Buckhorn and Fenelon Falls. Camp asked participants in the workshop to explore the downtown as a first-time visitor might to identify “opportunities for improvement.” Wood said she and Camp will assess the feedback from the workshops in Campbellford and Lakefield to determine if there is enough interest to proceed with a trail town program over the next two years. With a budget of $1.125 million the organization has the funding to “help get this started” and it's prepared to match every dollar committed locally with two of its own. “This could really put us on the map as far as tourism goes,” Wood said. “This could make us a must-see, must-visit, must-stay destination.” It's not just about boating, it's also about cycling, hiking, driving, “doing something” on or along the waterway or within an hour's drive of it, she said. “Do you want more visitors coming here, do you want to do the work to make them feel welcome?” she asked attendees. And do you want to make them come back “because we are going to develop new experiences?”

Campbellford book club turns another page BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – The Campbellford Book Club turned another page in its history as members celebrated Ontario Public Library Week Oct. 15 to Oct. 21. In the middle of the week, Wed., Oct. 18, club members were at the Campbellford branch of the Trent Hills Library system. “We were there to meet and greet library visitors and to informally talk about books that have been enjoyed, provide information about library services and remind people of the book club meetings,” said Carol Robertson, one of the members. They will also be featuring a special guest at their club’s meeting in November. The club celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2010 at the home of founding member Joan McCulloch who was joined by others to mark the weeklong celebration. Katherine Curle, a founding member, talked about the book club. “We are perhaps somewhat unconventional because we don’t all read the same book. Every month we bring books we have read that follow a theme. We try and make the themes topical and often seasonal. If people don’t follow the theme they just talk about the 20 Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, October 19, 2017

books that they are currently reading.” She added, “Occasionally we will have a guest speaker which is the case next month. Jose Foot will be speaking to us on the history of the novel.” Foot, an avid fan of fantasy books and a lover of dragon stories, has been a guest of the club many times, including for their 10th anniversary, “captivating members with her words and imagination,” as she talks about what she has read. Food will be the guest speaker at a club meeting scheduled for Tues., Nov. 7, 6:30 to 8 p.m. to once again talk about her favourite subject, the history of the novel. “Jose is a former high school English teacher with a real passion for books, literature, poetry etc. She has visited us many times over the years. Some of her previous talks have included such topics as science fiction, war poetry, the Bronte’s, Jane Austen, Shakespeare, children’s books, feminist writing, romance and more. We really are in for another memorable evening when Jose talks about the “history of the novel’,” Robertson told the Trent Hills News. The book club meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. at the Campbellford library.

Campbellford — After 92 days on a bicycle, Daryl Doyle from Kerrisdale, B.C. has just completed his epic journey which included a two-night stopover with his aunt and uncle Gayle and Harley Laroche of Campbellford. They followed his cycling trip on Facebook where he posted photos and updates, happy to enjoy the “armchair travel”. It’s a ride he chose to do, taking a leave of absence from his banker’s job for what he called an opportunity, “just to enjoy the ride, strictly for recreation and to experience the country.” He did it on his 27-speed Kona Sutra. His only experience at this type of gruelling task was when he competed in a couple of Ironman events in Penticton, B.C., of which he said, laughing: “I survived ... just.” When asked why he chose this way to spend the summer, he explained: “It was kind of on my bucket list of something I needed to do. You put it on the list for five years out and start to look at how you might make it happen.” He admitted he has been asked “a number of times by people including my relatives why I did this and am I crazy?” His response, always said with a big grin, was: “Yes.” At the age of 44 years, he added: “Fitness came to me in midlife, I guess.” He admits that the most comfort-

Stirling Lions to hold Toll Booth fundraiser this Saturday BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling—If you are travelling through Stirling's only set of traffic lights on Saturday, Oct. 21, prepare to pay a toll. The Stirling Lions, with the assistance of the Stirling-Rawdon Fire Department and the approval of council, is holding its sixth annual Toll Booth Fundraiser from from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Lin Clarke, the Accessibility and Renovation Chair of the Stirling Lions, said the money will go towards putting in a lift at the Lions Hall, which is upstairs at the arena, to make it handicapped accessible. Clarke said accessibility is a big issue, not just as the Lions Hall, but throughout Stirling.

“One of Stirling's residents, my friend, Bill Seeley, who has been confined to a wheelchair for the past 25-plus years,” she said. “Bill has stated approximately 95 per cent of all businesses and venues in the village are not accessible — and that is unacceptable.” She said accessibility has been an issue for the Lions for a long time. “Lions have occupied the hall for 35 years, and had hoped, with the winning of Hockeyville in 2012, we would have been considered for accessibility,” Clarke said. “We were not.” But the Lions are not giving up. “With the help of the arena manager, Richard Dean, we presented the four municipalities (Center Hastings, Stirling,

Belleville and Quinte West) involved in operation of the arena with a reasonable cost for a lift for our accessibility,” she said. “With their approval, we have to pay for the lift, and since Lions is a nonprofit organization with limited funds, we began the grant application process.” The club is awaiting word on their application to the Parrott Foundation, and also is appealing to the public to help raise the funds needed for the purchase and installation of the lift. Clarke said that, in addition to taking part in the Toll Booth, the public can donate to the Stirling and District Lions Accessibility Fund at P.O. Box 56, Stir-

Aron does a complete makeover of theatre built in 1947 BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford – When the Aron Theatre Co-op holds its seventh annual general meeting later this month, it will have plenty to celebrate: the completion of major renovations to its 70-year-old building. “We were very fortunate to gain the support of Ontario 150, the Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation and the Municipality of Trent Hills to do a complete makeover of our old building,” Russ Christianson, the founding president of the co-operative, said in a news release. A representative from the Ontario Trillium Foundation will attend the AGM to offer congratulations on the changes the Aron made as a result of receiving a $67,200 Ontario150 Community Capital Program grant earlier this year.

The extensive renovations included installing new single-use washrooms, refurbishing the facade, adding metal siding to the walls and a new back door, and replacing the old pea gravel and tar roof with a green roof. Smart Green Technologies from Prince Edward County installed the green roof on top of the conventional barrier roof. “We are really excited about the green roof,” Christianson said. “It’s the first one in Northumberland County on a commercial building, and Smart Green Technologies is supporting our not-for-profit co-op by providing the work at cost.” “A green roof usually doubles the life of a roof because the plants absorb the UV rays from the sun,” said Curt Moeller, general manager of Smart Green Technologies. “We also added an extra layer of insulation under the moisture barrier to decrease energy use, particularly for air conditioning in the summer.” Altogether the work cost $95,000, with Trent Hills contributing $5,900 and the Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation $4,000. Aron topped up the grants it received by drawing $18,000 from its reserves and using the proceeds from a 50/50 draw it has operated for more than a year to raise money for a new roof. The Ontario150 Capital grant paid for 75 per cent of the conventional roof, and the Aron Theatre is paying for the addition of the green roof. There will be other fundraisers held over the course of the coming year. Aron is asking people to buy memberships in the co-operative. They expire on May 1 each year but right now they are being offered at half-price, $10 for an indi-

Third donor-funded boardwalk built by Friends of Ferris, park staff BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — The third boardwalk to be funded by donors, a project of the Friends of Ferris (FofF) Provincial Park, has now been built. RR4 ROSENEATH, ON K0K 2X0 It is one of several big projects the volunteers have completed this year. The one-day build was carried out by many FofF volunteers, with assistance from park staff. This follows previous projects that include a picnic shelter and installation of playground equipment, which are making this park a destination spot. “The new boardwalk is on the Drumlin Trail in Ferris Park,” said FofF president Barb Hogan.

OPINION:

Mayor of Trent Hills was “one in a million”

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Hector Macmillan was many things in his 14 years as mayor. Being reserved wasn't one of them. Hec, as he was popularly known, was a straight-shooter, and one of his favourite targets was the provincial government, whose misdeeds in his view included soaring hydro rates, spendthrift ways and failure to do much to help people such as himself receive treatment for pancreatic cancer that's available elsewhere in the world. A fundraising campaign enabled him to have the procedure he sought done in Germany and it prolonged his life by almost a year. But he didn't let the matter drop upon his return, knowing there was a machine sitting idle in a Toronto hospital that could do the job and benefit others. So it was with a new resolve that he resumed his mission to have irreversible electroporation, or NanoKnife, become a standard of care in Ontario. Through sheer doggedness on his part the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care eventually capitulated to his will and agreed to conduct a three-year clinical trial. As MPP Lou Rinaldi said in a celebration of life service held last Saturday, Hec could be a pit bull when it came to certain causes. What was he like as a boss? He was “a decisive guy” who saw citizens as customers who expected good service and he strove to ensure that they got it, director of planning Jim Peters said. His legacy includes numerous infrastructure projects, in roads, water, sewers and recreational facilities (including the Hastings Field Dome), and he helped set many more in motion that will one day bear fruit, such as a new bridge and a combined fire hall/council chambers in Campbellford. “It's sad that he has died at a relatively young age,” Peters said, but “he squeezed a lot out of life” in his 59 years, person-

ally and as a public figure. “He was one in a million” and it was “a pleasure to work with him and (for) him,” chief administrative officer Lynn Phillips said. “This will be a very different place without him.” The initiatives he launched and the priorities he set through his four terms in office “really shaped our municipality and

our workplace, and will continue to do that for a very long time,” she said. “He's irreplaceable.” (It was an eerie coincidence that Hec passed away while head of council, just as his father had done many years before. Hector Senior had been mayor of Campbellford for nine years when he died unexpectedly in 1990.) Hec's wife, Sandy, said she was “quite shocked” to learn from visitors at the reception the family held Friday evening at the funeral home just how much of a difference her husband had made in people's lives. “I really didn't know the extent of what he had accomplished or how many people he had touched,” she said. “He did love the municipality of Trent Hills ... He ruffled a few feathers, but sometimes in politics you have to do that.” “He was a force to be reckoned with no doubt,” she said. “He could be a handful, but he got things done.” Hec was a huge supporter of the fire department, knowing what its needs were, and he and Fire Chief Tim Blake became close friends. The mayor would often join firefighters at a scene and make sure they were well supplied with food and water if the blaze was a major one that required they be there for hours. He was given a pager and a radio, and he even drove a fire truck on occasion when the department was short-staffed. But most often it was “his job to go get the coffee and donuts,” which he happily did, the fire chief said. Blake organized the walk through town that paid tribute to the mayor last Saturday. The procession to the church included firefighters and members of Hec's family and council. With Blake in the fire truck, which was draped in black, was Sandy who held in her hands the urn containing her husband's cremated remains. Giving Hec one last ride was a nice gesture but, you know, it might have been more fitting had his remains been in a coffee urn. Hec loved a good joke.

Opening Norwood Fair was an “amazing honour”

Norwood - It took a while for reality to sink in but when Mary English stepped to centre stage to open the 149th Norwood Fair she had come to terms with the enormous honour that comes with the task of welcoming people to one of Ontario’s rural gems. The annual fair routinely draws nearly 50,000 people to a village of 1,400. “It was a 'why me?' thing,” English said, recalling the message Norwood Agricultural Society president Steve Ross had left on her answering machine. “Everybody does so much work; every person in this fair does so much work,” she said. Her husband Frank knew in advance but kept it a secret until Ross’s phone call. “I thought it was not real. I had to digest it for a minute. I thought ‘why me?’ then I was so honoured.” “It’s such a privilege to be able to carry on the traditions,” English said of the 149-year-old fair now looking ahead to a sesquicentennial celebration in 2018 that includes sponsoring a Next Generation

Leahy concert to raise funds for Hospice Norwood. A sold-out show would realize $38,000 for the twobed facility. English is the 2017 recipient of the Agricultural Society’s prestigious service award and was president of the School Fair from 1990-91 and its secretary from 2006-15. She’s retired from attending meetings now “but I’ll always be here for as long as I can walk.” English felt she represented many others when she made her opening remarks and is quick to encourage people to volunteer in whatever capacity they can. “It’s amazing. You fall in love with it, you really truly do. It becomes part of you. Our community is growing and what a privilege it is to call this home.” To prospective volunteers she says: “Open your eyes and enjoy the whole experience because that’s what it really is, an experience.” “The first time I came to a meeting I really didn’t know the importance of it so I backed off for a bit then I came forward again and never looked back. It’s been wonderful.”

BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings — It was a night to remember for Carol Rowley. Rowley, one of the newest members of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 106 in Hastings, was “surprised” with the Legionnaire of the Year Award during the branch’s annual honours and awards gala on Oct. 14. The award is voted on by the branch membership and is a much-anticipated presentation during the yearly event. It was something Rowley, a Branch 106 member for just one year after transferring from Scarborough — where she had been a member for 27 years — was not expecting. She also received citations for her work with the branch colour party and sports activities. “I wasn’t expecting any of this, but I appreciate my members and I appreciate the legion,” she said afterwards. “It’s an honour. I was very surprised, it was a real shock. I do it (volunteering) for the branch. I don’t do it for recognition, that’s not a part of what being a legionnaire is. I am proud to be a legion mem-

ber.” Rowley followed her father, a veteran, in joining the legion. “I bring some of the pride of what my father served for,” she says. “He couldn’t be with me when I was sworn in, but he was there in spirit.” Rowley, like other committed and dedicated legion members, wishes more young people would get involved. A little time invested pays big dividends, she says. She holds out hope her daughters will eventually join — something they have not done yet. “Maybe when they get older, they’ll join. Maybe my grandchildren will. I think (younger people) should learn more of what a legion represents; not necessarily what it can do for them, but what they can do for it.” Dave Nicholls, a Branch 106 life member and first vice president, agrees. “What I stress most is volunteering. Legions can’t survive without volunteers. If you lose your volunteers, your legion is going down the drain.”

Special Olympics Ontario holds soccer First win of the season qualifying matches at Brighton for Campbellford’s junior BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Brighton – It was the Special Olympics in soccer mode at East Northumberland Secondary School last week. About 90 students from places such as Kingston, Cobourg, Napanee and Campbellford took part in the event, which held at ENSS for the first time, said organizer Kimberly Leger, a special education teacher at the high school. The qualifying tournament for the provincial championship was divided into three divisions, based on the abilities of the students who

were taking part, from all grades. “Special Olympics are for students who have developmental disabilities, all ranges,” Leger said. Each team was guaranteed three games, which were played in two 10-minute halves on smaller soccer pitches laid out across the sports field with smaller nets. Each team was limited to four players and a goalie on the field at one time. Approximately 60 ENSS main stream students assisted Leger in running the tournament held on Oct. 11, serving as ambassadors, referees and scorekeepers. Many helped out as leaders in the school’s Buddies and Mentors program. “We’re superexcited to host this event today,” principal Charlotte Filip said. “This is some-

thing we wanted to do at ENSS for a long time. A huge special shout-out to Kim Leger who has really spearheaded all this to happen.” Filip said the school’s bocce ball team won gold at the Special Olympics last year with Leger as its leader. Paul Grasby, school event developer with Special Olympics Ontario, said the organization holds 60 qualifying competitions across the province, from Thunder Bay to Cornwall to Windsor. “It means just as much to the athletes as it does to our main stream volunteers,” he said. Inclusivity is “what Special Olympics is all about. A lot of times it’s an opportunity for these athletes to put on their school colours. Usually they’re the ones in the stands cheering on, and now we’ve got their peers here cheering them on as they compete for their school.” The top team from the Oct. 12 competition will advance to the provincial championships that will take place in Peterborough next May, hosted by the Peterborough Police Service and the public and Catholic school boards. The results won’t be released until the middle of November, Grasby said. “We like to contact the school and get the teacher and their administration approval before we announce who’s coming just so the athletes don’t get too excited and their parents if they’re not able to attend for some reason.”

girls rugby team

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford – Campbellford District High School’s junior girls rugby team won its first game of the season Oct. 13, defeating Adam Scott 34-5. The team had gone winless its first four games, including twice last week before its victory at home, losing to 10-0 to top-ranked Thomas A. Stewart and 20-5 to I.E. Weldon. The win vaulted CDHS into sixth

place in the Kawartha Junior Girls Rugby standings, one game above Adam Scott. Holy Cross, which blanked Campbellford 66-0, sits atop the league at 5-0, outscoring their opponents 25322. CDHS wasn’t able to field a seniors team this season, lacking the numbers. Most of the girls on the junior squad are first-time players.

Belleville Senators represented at Win column still a blank for the Campbellford Stirling Council Rebels

TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling — The team is called the Belleville Senators, but team Chief Operating Officer Rob Mullowney says the American Hockey League team really belongs to all the surrounding communities. “Our team actually represents the Bay of Quinte,” Mullowney told members of Stirling-Rawdon Council on Monday, Oct. 16, during a visit to introduce the organization to the township. “This community's already supported us in a tremendous way,” he added. “We've got 50 season tickets from your community, supporting us.” And, for individual game ticket sales, tiny Stirling — which proudly bears the title of Hockeyville — is shining. “This community is the fourth largest population where tickets are coming from, so that is tremendous,” he said. “We really appreciate it.” Mullowney said the AHL, which celebrated its 80th year, is the secondbest hockey league in the world. “That's the quality of the product that's coming into your community,” he said. “Eighty-eight per cent of the players that play in the National Hockey League, which is the very best

league in the world, came out of the American Hockey League. So the quality of hockey that will be showcased in this community is incredible.” He said the team has only played four games to date, and already three players from this team have played for the parent club, the Ottawa Senators. “What we want to do now is put that support back into the community, and we want to do that in the Bay of Quinte,” he said. “We don't want to do that just in the City of Belleville. “There's a lot of part-time job opportunities in our facility...We need to hire almost 150 people for every night in a part-tike role, so there's lots of opportunity for people in your community to get involved in that way.” He said jobs are posted on the Belleville Senators website. Mullowney said each game includes a 50-50 draw which will help benefit communities in this area. “Our goal with that money is, we want to put that back into the community,” he said. “I don't mean Belleville, I mean the Bay of Quinte, so we'll be launching a foundation. There will be lots of ways for people in your community to get involved. That money is going to come back out into this community. We're very excited

about that.” He said the team's players also will be coming into the community and visiting the school and getting involved. “At the end of the day, that's where the real impact is,” he said. “When you can have a financial impact and have an impact on youth, I think that's absolutely where the sweet spot is.” Councillor Grant Hagerman asked how the players are housed and pointed out that a new subdivision is being built in Stirling. Mullowney said players usually take short-term rentals, but something different is happening with this team. “We've already had some players buy houses,... and that's unique,” he said, and asked that any information about housing be sent to him so he can pass it along to the players. “I think it's a tremendous thing for this community, for the whole county,” Counc. Dean Graff said. Mayor Rodney Cooney predicted that there will be a lot of support from area fans. “You're going to have people driving a long ways to watch some hockey,” he said. “Everybody's pretty excited.

Campbellford — If adversity builds character, the Campbellford Rebels are grooming a group of remarkable young men. A string of one-sided defeats certainly has tested their fortitude and still they show up week after week knowing the odds are stacked against them of ever winning a game. More evidence of their futility — as well as perseverance — was provided on the weekend when the team was crushed 14-1 at home by the first-place Napanee Raiders on Saturday and then 11-2 by the Jets in Amherstview the next day. The Rebels' record now stands at 0-9-0-0 in the East Todd Division of the Provincial Junior Hockey League. The team has given up 103 goals while managing just eight in response. Discipline is another problem area. Campbellford has racked up 320 minutes in penalties, most in the division, which suggests

College faculty strike cancels classes, causes worry at Loyalist College BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Editor’s note: as of press time Tuesday morning, the College Employer Council and the Ontario Public Service Employee Union failed to reach an agreement. Belleville – A long line of cars were backed up from the Loyalist College entrance at Loyalist-Wallbridge Road on Monday morning. At and beyond the entrance, people were hoping the strike that was snarling traffic wouldn’t go on for long. Dozens of Loyalist faculty members were on the picket line early Monday morning after the province-wide College Employer Council and the Ontario Public Service Employee Union failed to reach an agreement by a midnight deadline. Talks between the two groups broke down Tuesday, Oct. 10 and in the first hours of the strike there were no signs of plans to get back to the bargaining table. As of Monday morning, more than 12,000 college instructors across Ontario were on strike and classes were cancelled indefinitely at 24 diploma granting institutions, including Loyalist. The pickets at Loyalist were only slowly allowing vehicles onto the grounds of the college early Monday, creating a log jam of cars at Loyalist-Wallbridge Road that backed up past the Moira Street off ramp. Around 9:30 p.m., Belleville Police dropped by to encourage the union to move things along quicker and Belleville Transit made alternative routes for people to access the college.

“It’s not fun, it’s stressful,” said one striking faculty member, who did not give her name, as dozens of cars waited in line to get it. “Our students want to be in classes. And I want to be teaching.” Eric Bauer, the president of OPSEU Local 420, which represents the striking Loyalist faculty members, said he hopes the strike

won’t go long, but he blamed the Employer Council for the lack of progress. “Our teams stands at the ready to have that discussion at any point in time. I wish we had two sides at the table,” said Bauer, dressed warmly with a black toque to protect himself from the chilly fall wind. There are several reasons why faculty mem-

Choice

bers are on strike, but the biggest reason is the shift of the Employer Council in recent years to hire few full-time instructors, leaving programs to be taught mostly by part-time employees, Bauer said. There are also issues related to “parity in academic decision making” and “ fairness for contract faculty,” he added. “The Employer Council has consistently returned to spinning a position about money,” he said. “That’s not been our issue.” He acknowledged that there’s a perception that college faculty are paid large sums per hour – anything between $48 and $140 ¬– but those rates don’t reflect the full scope of work, he said. The wage is dictated by the amount of time in front of students and doesn’t reflect preparation time or helping students individually. With those elements factored in, a college instructor’s wage is far less lucrative, he said. When asked what he would tell his own students about the strike – Bauer teaches in the environmental department – he said, “as tragic as this is when faculty are on strike, it’s about attempting to get an employer to recognize the effort that’s underway to make the system better. “We can’t do any work. We must withhold the service we have to compel the employer to negotiate.” Inside the college on Monday morning, students who spoke to the Belleville News were indifferent about the situation; they just wanted to see the strike resolved so their classes could resume.

Grannies for Africa host loving event Nov. 4

Faculty strike continued “It’s pretty upsetting,” said Jairus Leeson, a second-year student in Loyalist’s TV and New Media program. He was huddled with several classmates in the college’s cafeteria. They had come in to discuss how to proceed with major projects they’re working on, without the support of instructors. “In second year, our workload is pretty significant. Getting feedback is crucial,” Leeson added. He said his instructors spoke to students before the strike. They told them a contingency plan is in place so that students can still meet their learning goals, assuming the strike doesn’t last long. But the uncertainty, makes things difficult. “It’s paranoia,” he said. “I don’t know how long this will last. It could be two, three weeks.” Film and television production student Ernest Gearing expressed similar concerns. “I guess a lot of our projects we can still work on, technically,” he said. “But I like having the input of the faculty. That’s what you pay for. I want them back, but there’s nothing I can do.”

Details from Loyalist College officials were minimal. A phone call to the college’s communications team requesting comment was returned with an email to a link on the college’s website with information to for students on labour negotiations updates. The note, signed by senior vice president Ann Drennan, said the college will remain open, but no regular daytime classes will be held for post-secondary or apprenticeship programs. Some online courses and Continuing Education classes will continue. “We will continue to offer Student Success services, Student Success Mentors, Peer Tutoring, Athletics and Campus Life, Student Life, Career Centre and facilities like labs and study areas. During this time, we encourage you to catch up on work, complete homework assignments, review difficult material as well as continue with your textbook readings and research projects. “Please be assured that contingency plans are in place for you to complete your studies. No Ontario college student has ever lost a year because of a strike.”

Canadian grandmothers have been at the forefront of fundraising efforts for the orphaned children of Africa, left behind by the AIDS epidemic there, and the local chapter is holding a special event in November to highlight the effort. Working with the Stephen Lewis Foundation, Canadian grandmothers have raised more than $25 million to support African grandmothers and the grassroots organizations working at the frontlines of the AIDS pandemic through the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. Now for the first time, the story of these indomitable women has been documented in a new book, entitled Powered by Love: A Grandmothers’ Movement to End AIDS in Africa, published by Goose Lane Editions. Author Joanna Henry and photographer Alexis MacDonald visited eight African countries, interviewing and photographing hundreds of grandmothers (including Sarah Obama, Barack Obama’s grandmother) who, with the sup-

Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates

port of their sisters in Canada and now around the world, are raising their grandchildren and rebuilding their communities.

Quinte Grannies for Africa will be hosting a launch of Powered by Love on Thursday Nov. 2 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Loyalist College, Alumni Hall, 376 WallbridgeLoyalist Road, Belleville. Guest speakers will include Alexis MacDonald: Photographer for the book and Director of External Relations

at the Stephen Lewis Foundation, Nompumelelo Gladys Mayaba: Grandmother with Grandmothers Against Poverty & AIDS (GAPA), Siseko Mkalipi: Executive Director of Grandmothers Against Poverty & AIDS (GAPA), This event is free and open to the public. All royalties from sales of Powered by Love will be directed to the Stephen Lewis Foundation to support organizations run by and for African grandmothers who are raising children orphaned by AIDS. Quinte Grannies for Africa has been in existence since October 2006. By the end of 2016, local grandmothers raised close to $ 300,000. They take their slogan ‘We will not rest `til they can rest’ very serious.

After hours homeless service assumed by CMHA BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County Community and Human Services Committee is recommending a bid by the local Canadian Mental Health Association to take over after-hours services for the homelessness program. The change takes place Jan. 1. The county’s human services director Erin Rivers noted that the local Red Cross, which had been providing the service, served notice of termination of that role last May as it no longer fit the organization’s mandate. The department then issued a request for proposals to maintain the same services, staffing a call desk for referrals and placements from 4:30 p.m. through 8:30 a.m., including weekends and holidays. Funding, at $69,000, is provided by the province. Commenting further, Rivers said she is “very excited. The Mental Health group has the ex-

pertise and capability and shares many services with our agency. They are also equipped to deal directly with the homelessness issue, not just the crises.” Sandie Sidsworth, executive director of the Prince Edward-Hastings branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association, shared Rivers’ excitement. But she stressed the additional $69,000 funding is by no means a “windfall” for the agency. “But, it might help us place more people in desperate need,” she added. She also explained that finding adequate housing remains one of her agency’s prime activities. “There are many reasons for homelessness,” she said, and the stress involved with those in that situation often is closely related to mental health issues. “We help provide shelter for the homeless during regular working hours, so it is just an extension to after 4:30 and on weekends and holi-

days,” Sidsworth said. of affordable housing.” The difficulty is, she addSidsworth said the ed, “There is such a lack county’s move to act on

a provincial program to create a major new shelter project is a godsend, but more is needed. “I really don’t see much light at the end of the tunnel right now,” she said, noting that finding adequate funding to keep the agency operational is a major challenge. There is no guaranteed funding source from any federal or provincial government. “We rely on the Trillium and Parrott foundations, the county and the United Way mainly” she said, to support a staff of 11 and operate four separate programs. “We see about 800 people a month with various problems.” For the new after-hours homeless referral service, full and part-time staff will be in place and ready to go at one minute after midnight on Dec. 31, when the handover from Red Cross begins. Also recommended by the committee was taking part in a National Housing Day activity on Nov. 16.

The committee also approved the first major proposal under the new Ontario Early |Years Child and Family Centre – a unique centre to involve the Algonquin community in the Maynooth area. The new centre will use Maynooth Public School, where special classes for aboriginal children have already been part of the school’s program. In essence, the program will provide for families to access relevant, culturally-sensitive programs and services, help protect the endangered Algonquin language and culture, creating a multicultural hub. The approved submission notes that while the Algonquin territory, still non-ceded, spans a huge swath of central Ontario, including Ottawa, Maynooth is actually in the middle of it and has a strong residual Algonquin population, compared to most of Ontario.

TRAVEL

WWII sub moored at Maritime Museum at Manitowoc had to actually volunteer for this dangerous assignment, for it had the highest mortality rate of any branch of the military during WWII. I also learned that the majority of the time was spent in rather dull, very routine situations, but then would come that sudden adrenaline-rush of danger. It was summarized on the museum wall in the following way: “90%boredom and 10% terror”! I was also able to stroll through a reconstructed street of an historic Great Lakes port, step into the engine room of a Great Lakes ship from the early 1900s, see the inner workings of a torpedo, scan the harbour through a telescope, view a collection of remarkable fish carvings, and check out the Suspect Species Investigation Lab (where invasive species impacted the ecosystems of the Great Lakes). Furthermore, in the museum’s Model Ship Gallery, I was able to see several scale models of former Great Lakes sailing ships and freighters. I also learned about Lake Michigan car ferries that were used to transport passengers and railroad cars between ports – even through the storms of winter! I also saw a diorama featuring the Edmund Fitzgerald, lying within the depths of Lake Superior (and this reminded me of a previous visit of mine to Michigan’s Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, where I heard a recording of our very own EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO Gordon Lightfoot singing “The EXCELLENCE Wreck of the Edmund FitzgerPumpkinferno - Upper Canada Village ......................................

BY JOHN M. SMITH

On my most recent visit to Wisconsin, I found a unique and very worthwhile destination for an exploration of the Great Lakes maritime history. After all, the Wisconsin Maritime Museum, located along the shoreline of Lake Michigan, at Manitowoc, is the largest maritime museum in the Midwest, and it’s a Smithsonian Affiliate. It’s also home to the USS Cobia, the best preserved WWII submarine in the entire nation. While in the museum itself, I was able to partake in a “Submarine Simulation Experience”, and this gave me a better understanding of what it would feel like to submerge. Also, an actual WWII battle from the USS Cobia’s War Patrol log was recreated. This made me think about how claustrophobic and trapped the crew must have felt as they worked and travelled beneath the water’s surface, never certain that they would ever reemerge to safety. I learned that all the crew

continue on, via Lake Michigan, to this particular destination. Also, in the Little Lakefarer’s Room, children could look through a periscope, read books about the Great Lakes, and play maritime games. When I was about to leave the museum itself, I picked up a card of a particular crew member of the USS Cobia (conveniently on display) – so that I could learn about his duties on board the submarine. After all, I was about to tour the actual submarine, so having this information would help me to better understand what the role of that individual was on this wartime vessel. As educational as I’d found the museum that I’ve been describing, the tour of the submarine itself was even more fascinating. I descended the stairs and entered inside the submarine, and I soon discovered that this was not a job or accommodations that I would enjoy at all! The halls were narrow, so I felt cramped; the doorways were very tiny and, therefore, difficult for a tall person to maneuver through. It was hard to imagine this small space being occupied by 80

crew members and officers! I was told that the average temperature down here would be about 90F/32C, so it was not a particularly comfortable work environment. I saw the officers’ barracks, the office area, the control room, and the dining room. I then discovered that there were only 4 bathrooms, and these were worked by a series of rather complicated levers. There were also a few showers – but not enough for daily showers for all! Indeed, I was certainly relieved when we got back out of there! The joy of fresh air and dry land! As I returned to the museum, I was told that some adventurers even pay extra to spend the night inside that submarine. I was glad that I’d experienced the submarine tour, but that was enough sub life for me! The Wisconsin Maritime Museum at Manitowoc was definitely worth checking out – and I’m pleased that I visited.

“Our Town” a delightfully different type of theatre BY JACK EVANS

Imagine a small town about the size of Stirling and transplant it to rural New Hampshire. It would not be much different, especially in the early years of the 20th century. The Belleviille Theatre Guild’s current offering, “Our Town,” a Pulitzer prize winning full-length play by Thornton Wilder could ring true to any of the small towns across the Quinte area. Wilder’s goal was not to focus on geography, but on life – ordinary life as lived by ordinary citizens in an ordinary community. This writer contends that for a show that has such a large cast and finding an ensemble that captures every nuance of the many characters and their interaction is a rare feat. Most of the credit can go to director Ian Feltham, who obviously knew exactly what he was looking for and managed to raid the guild’s immense talent stable to find it. From child actors to love-struck teenagers to doting parents to senior citizens, every line and role rings true. Audiences might be surprised at the lack of props and sets, but that is precisely what Wilder envisioned and this cast delivers it. Holding it all together is veteran actor Bill Petch who is the stage manager of a theatre, acting as ringmaster, introducing the town and its denizens and locations and directing them when to come on and go off. Young boys deliver newspapers; the editor of the local weekly seeks story ideas; a hard-working doctor delivers babies and heals sick bodies; a

“Our Town” scene – left to right, young lovers George Gibbs, played by Josh Lambert and Emily Webb, played by Skylar Pierson, flirt across their neighbouring windows while their respective mothers, Jana Busse, left and Kayla Alexandropoulos are below. Dianna Purchase as Mrs.Soames is in the middle. Submitted photo by Greg Pinchin

wise police officer keeps his eye on the young people without punishment; knowing mothers coach their daughters in life’s mysteries. At the end, there is a graveyard where most

of the characters, young and old, sit stolidly, wondering whether anyone living really understands the magical beauty of life, to which the Stage Manager replies, “Hardly anyone.

Quantities are limited, while supplies last.

Maybe a few poets and artists.” The graveyard scene does not imply tragedy, only reality. There are also a few good chuckles along the way. The setting faithfully created on stage is the years spanning 1901 at the outset to 1913 at the end. The cast was so polished that in recognition of their collective effort, the names of the key characters at least, should be named: Gerry Fraiberg as Dr. Gibbs; Jana Busse as Mrs. Gibbs; Peter Wood as newspaper editor Wally Webb and Kayla Alexandropoulos as Mrs. Webb; playing the Dr. Gibbs children are wannabe farmer George, by Josh Lambert and younger sister Rebecca by Tayva Mestre ; Skylar Pierson is the Webb daughter, and her brother is Kael Mestre; Mo Leslie plays both the dry professor for a history lesson and the alcoholic church musician; Enno Busse plays the kind-hearted police officer. Dianna Purchase plays the neighbourhood busybody with something to say for every occasion. Several characters play more than one role. But all play it to the heart from the milkman with his imaginary horse to the undertaker and audience participants. Sound effects are marvellous, from an early morning rooster crowing, to a train whistle to the milkman’s horse and bottle clanging. This may not be theatre that you are used to, but audiences are responding warmly. The show continues through Oct.28. For tickets or information, call the Box Office, (613) 967-1442. The box office opens at 3 p.m. week days.

Take it Outside

Backyard fire all good if you plan properly

By Carson Arthur At this time of the year, one of the most popular additions to the backyard is the outdoor fire pit with seating around it.

Having an area for entertaining that is separate to the patio table has been featured in magazines, websites and all types of social media. Even the designs that I’ve been doing for homes in downtown areas seem to always include high-end wood or gas burning fixtures. Also consider that many homeowners aren’t quite ready to give up on outdoor entertaining. By adding a beautiful heat source, being outside by the fire in October is not such a bad idea! So it makes perfect sense to highlight some of the things you may not have thought about when setting up your own backyard hearth. Before you go any further in exploring if an outdoor fireplace is right for you, check your municipal bylaws. Some areas ban outdoor burning altogether. Others allow outdoor fireplaces, but regulate the smoke to ensure that your neighbours are not disturbed. Some municipalities require

that grills be in place so that these fire pits fall under barbeque laws. Just because a store in your area sells you a fireplace doesn’t mean that you can actually use it. Make sure to go online to check the bylaws for your area or stop in at the municipal offices to ask.

If however you’re like me and love the smell of burning wood, the sound of crackling logs and can spend hours watching flames and coals, then there is nothing like an outdoor wood-burning fireplace. That said, burning wood always comes with lots of risks and rewards. Live fires are unpredictable and as a result, can be dangerous if not handled properly. While the

size of the fire is smaller than a burn-pile, local fire permits may also be applied to your home if you are planning a wood-burning fire pit. When it comes to fire safety, make sure that you allow for at least 6ft. of space between the edge of the fireplace and the chairs. This may seem like a lot given that most people like to sit closer to the fire than 6’. The reality is that sparks can easily fly from natural burning fires and people may need to move backwards in a hurry. If you don’t have sufficient clearance, choosing a natural gas or propane option would be a safer solution. If you do go with wood burning, then make sure you have either a source of water or a fire extinguisher nearby. Also consider where the best spot is for you fire pit and what surface it is going on. The best surface solution is always stone. Whether its manmade pavers, natural flag-

stone or even gravel, stone is perfect for dispersing heat or flying sparks. I have created fireplaces on wood decks but I always make sure that the area under and around the fire pit is either gravel or concrete to help diffuse the heat and to prevent any sparks from landing on wood. When it comes to locations, wood-burning fire pits need to be away from the house. Smoke always seems to get into open windows or patio doors. Also choose a spot that is away from large trees or anything that is burnable. Even patio umbrellas can be a hazard if they are to close to the fire and the wind direction changes. Having an outdoor fireplace can be an amazing way to spend a summer night or even host an après ski party. Just make sure you do a little research first, you don’t want to spend money on a feature that you can’t actually use.

Middleton murder accused deported from Bermuda Bermuda - One of two men jailed and later cleared in a case of judicial procedure gone horribly wrong in the 1996 death of Belleville teen Rebecca Middleton in Bermuda has been deported from the island nation to his native Jamaica. Bermuda’s The Royal Gazette reported Kirk Mundy was transported from federal prison in Bermuda to Jamaica by private jet on Oct. 4. Becky Middleton was visiting a friend she knew from Belleville when the friend and her father, Rick Meens, lived in Belleville. The two girls were out for an evening and met Mundy and later co-accused Justis Smith. Evidence said the pair accepted rides from the men on scooters, but got separated. Becky, who was 17 at the time, was later brutally raped and murdered and her body was found by the roadside at remote Ferry Reach, near the island’s airport, in the early hours of July 3, 1996. According to reports in the Royal Gazette, Mun-

dy was sentenced to five years behind bars in 1996 after he pleaded guilty to a charge of being an accessory to the murder of Middleton. His co-accused, Smith, was cleared after then Justice Vincent Meerabux threw out the case against him. A later bid to try both Mundy and Smith for the murder, after new forensic evidence was uncovered, failed because Britain’s Privy council, in 1998, ruled that the case could not go ahead as it would be seen as re-trying the case on the same facts as the earlier acquittals. The Privy Council also ruled that Meerabux’s decision on Smith could not be overturned. The handling of the case, particularly the failure to reopen proceedings against the two suspects, caused outrage in Bermuda and overseas. Human rights lawyer Cherie Booth, the wife of former British prime minister Tony Blair, called the case “a terrible, terrible story — one that no family

Packed lineup at Old Church Theatre

Monday October 23 brings Roxanne de Bastion to the stage at Old Church Theatre on Bonisteel Road, Quinte West. Submitted photo.

Quinte West - The Old Church Theatre is bringing a jam-packed line up of entertainment this week. Part 2 of the One Act play festival, ‘Sharpen the Acts,’ begins with three new plays on Thursday October 19 and Friday October 20 with both shows at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee on Sunday October 22 at 2p.m. Part 1 was held this past summer to sellout audiences at each performance. Improv musical trio, the Three Martinis appear Saturday October 21 at 7:30 p.m. Dan Fewings and Rob Phillips have been ‘making it up on the spot’ as the Three Martinis for more than three years now and kept their audiences laughing and always coming back for more. Phillips, a wellknown jazz pianist and former Second City music director, tickles the keys with amazing musicality and creativity. Fewings on the other hand seems to channel the likes of Jackie Gleason, John Candy with a side of Groucho Marx. The Third Martini is always a surprise – a bass player, a guitarist or a drummer completes this improvisational, music comedy trio. This time it’s part of the Old Church family, Howard Baer on the upright bass. The Martinis handcraft their songs specific to each audience. They cajole the audience into writing titles for songs never before written and then before your eyes, with no tricks or mirrors they write those songs, music and all. It’s truly a must see performance. Monday October 23 brings Roxanne de Bastion. Roxanne reminds us that great lyrics do have a place in pop music. With a nod to 1960s psychedelia, Roxanne delivers thoughtful social and personal commentary soaked in piano & cello arrangements. Born in Berlin to a musical, bilingual family, she started composing and performing at the age of 15. Soon after, Roxanne moved to London equipped with her guitar, her songs and a one-way ticket. Glastonbury’s legendary acoustic stage, a showcase at Folk Alliance in the USA, opening for Hayes Carll, Martha Wainwright, Ricky Ross and Thea Gilmore as well as touring in her own right across Europe only ac-

count for a handful of events that filled by Roxanne’s diary over the past twelve months. Her debut album and follow-up EP garnered support from BBC6, Xfm, The Sunday Times, R2 Magazine to name a few. The Old Church Theatre is at 940 Bonisteel Road in Quinte West and advance tickets can be purchased at www.olchurch.ca of by calling Lesley Bonisteel at 613-848-1411.

Campbellford residents react to Mayor Hector Macmillan’s death BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — Speaking to people on the streets of Campbellford a couple of days following news of the death of Trent Hills’ Mayor Hector Macmillan, the comments were universally of one mind - Hec will be missed. Frank Vaughan, past president of the Campbellford Farmer’s Market: “For my part Hector was always good to me. As long as I was involved in the farmer’s market he was good to the farmer’s market. I found him to be somebody you could be direct with. You could argue with him and he could still respect you at the end of the day. Whether or not you love him or hate him a man who can get a plurality of the vote for 20 odd years ... that’s remarkable.” Ron (and wife Sylvia) Rundle: “He put up a good fight. He’s been there a long time as mayor. He’s going to be missed.” Ken Dehne owner of Ken’s Stereo and TV “He’s a good friend. Probably the best mayor we’ve ever had. In terms of a legacy he’s done so much for this community. He cared about everybody in this community ... not even himself, it was never about himself.” Getting emotional Dehne added, “I visited him about 10 days ago so I knew he wasn’t doing well,” adding, “Sandy (wife) is a very good friend of mine, her parents took me in as a kid” Tom and Rose-Marie Kerr of Kerr’s Corner Books: “Hector and I sparred a lot over the years. We didn’t always see eye to eye but I genuinely believe that Hector was for the town,” said Tom Kerr.

Rose-Marie Kerr added, “We really really wish the family the very deepest of condolences and hope that they find their way to some peace. They have been through a lot. He will be a mayor that served a number of terms well supported by the constituents and he will never be forgotten.” Brenda Tucker, manager of Gunn Johnston Card and Gifts: “I feel Hector was a role model to so many other people that have his disease. He fought it and he did a great job and he tried to help other people. The impact to our community is so strong. Yes it is important to his family but for the people in the community so many people looked up to Hector and are going to miss him.”

Commenting on those who had disagreements with the mayor, he added, “That’s politics, you can’t escape that. We went to school together from kindergarten up through the grades so I know him on a personal level. I think he would have been elected again if he ran for mayor. There’s no question. He will be missed.”

Martha Murphy, executive director, Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation: “One of our fondest memories was the collaboration with the municipality, led by the mayor, to build three playgrounds in Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth on the same day, with over 300 volunteers. With grandson in tow, HecTom Sharpe of Sharpe’s Food Market: tor was so very proud of the members of our “We feel sad ... he has grandchildren and he community, who came together on that rainy day did Relay for Life. He’s done a very good job to build three unique playgrounds. We wrapped as mayor. Most people I know speak fondly of up the day with a Hector-style barbecue at the him.” Warkworth Legion to celebrate, it was a very spe-

cial day.” Donna Bennett, co-founder and marketing director Westben: “I am very sorry to hear of Hector's passing. We grew up in Campbellford together and I always felt that Hector believed in the possibilities and potential for Trent Hills. Hector worked hard for what he thought would benefit the community and he did so with great passion. I am grateful for the support that Hector gave to create the Clock Tower Cultural Centre to develop a hub of arts in the centre of Campbellford. “

Cathy Beamish, president Rotary Club of Campbellford: “On behalf of the Rotary Club of Campbellford I would like to send our condolences to Sandy and family. Hector will be missed for his passion and dedication to the community of Trent Hills.”

Those on social assistance will see 2% raise in pay BY JACK EVANS

Recipients of social assistance in Ontario can look forward to a modest raise this month. New payment rates and other benefit increases announced earlier by the province are supposed to phase in during October. This year’s increase will be two per cent, which will apply to temporary care assistance, adults living with parents, dependents with dependents rates, advanced age allowance , remote communities allowance, personal needs allowance, special boarder allowance and guide dog benefits. \ The raise for a single person on Ontario Works should translate into $14 a month, said Erin Rivers, director for Hastings County. She also noted that as of Jan. 1 2018, the local portion for welfare will be completely covered by the province. Other improvements Rivers report-

ed include increases to asset limits so people can retain more of their savings or liquid assets starting Jan.1. Limits will go from $2,500 for single persons to $10,000 and to $15,000 for couples plus $500 for each subsequent family member. Cash gifts exemptions will go to $10,000 from $6,000. Rivers said her department’s staff “will continue to monitor” these developments and report back to the committee as required.

The regional Community and Family Services Department is now placing new signs designed by staff members. Department director Erin Rivers is shown here with committee chair, Coun. Garnet Thompson of Belleville assists her is displaying the sign sample to the committee. Jack Evans/Metroland

Donna Nelham and Paul Tremlett are the owners of a new Driverseat franchise, serving the Belleville, Trenton and Prince Edward County regions. Stephen Petrick/Metroland

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – The transportation industry is changing – and a new Quinte-area business is steering it along. Owners of a new Driverseat franchise for the region held a business launch event outside the Belleville Chamber log cabin on Moira Street on Thursday, Oct. 12. The business helps customers get themselves and their vehicles home safely. The local franchise is owned by husband-wife duo Donna Nelham and Paul Tremlett. The couple also opened a Driverseat franchise for the Kingston area days earlier. They hope the business will contribute to a reduction of impaired driving instances. “We didn’t want to do just anything,” said Nelham. “We wanted to do something with heart; something with a social purpose.” Customers can call 613-900-5890 to access the service or visit driverseatinc.com and download the app. The service has a flat rate minimum charge of $15 and an algorithm factoring in the time and distance of the trip deter-

mines the overall rate. The business works by hiring coachmen or coachwomen to arrive at the location of the customer and drive them and their vehicle home. Those coachmen and women have “chasers” who help them move around from job to job. Nelham likes the social angle of the business. She hopes people who are enjoying a night out and feel too tipsy to drive home themselves will call the service. But the she stressed Driverseat can be used for a variety of other services. People can call if they need help getting kids to school, if they need help getting people home from business functions or even if they need transportation support for a fun event, like a wedding or wine tour. She acknowledged that now is an interesting time for the transportation industry as new services, such as Uber, are changing the way people think about getting out and about, especially after hours. She believes Driverseat, is a successful business that’s well equipped to embrace that change. “It’s about giving people different options,” she said.
