Tweed fighter takes world kickbox title in Italy BY BRETT MANN
Tweed – James Georgiou, 19 years old, is a Tweed resident who holds the Canadian Kickboxing Championship in his 132 lb. weight class. He has just returned from the World Kickboxing Federation Championships in Italy with a second place silver medal. Fighting against two Portuguese opponents in the Pellazo Della Sport in Andria, a coastal city “about an hour plane ride” south of Rome, Georgiou had a bye for the first match, defeated the winner of that contest by a decision, and went on to lose by a decision in the finals and bring home a silver medal. He explains that the weight classes go up by about 5 to 7 lb. intervals, starting at around 118 lbs. and range up to heavyweights, 200 lbs. and above. Overall, “Canada did do relatively well … we definitely were one of the top countries for earning medals.” The Canadian contingent numbered 20 fighters trained in “Maui Thai” or Thai boxing. Each fight consists of three rounds. This was Georgiou’s first trip to Italy and he enjoyed the experience. “I liked the food, the buildings, the streets – it was cool, definitely an
interesting country,” he reports. Although his sport produces its share of injuries the young fighter came back unscathed. “I’m perfectly fine,” says the lanky, fit competitor who trains at the Loyalist Martial Arts Academy north of Belleville.
About 20 countries showed up for the WKF championship and France, Portugal and Canada “were probably the top countries there.” Some countries had difficulties getting visas to participate in the event but “there was definitely a good chunk of competition there.
I felt pretty confident. My first fight was good for me. I won every round decisively. The second fight was close. I didn’t get to see the judge’s score cards but I felt the first round my opponent won, the second round could have gone either way and then I felt like I won the third round.”
Tweed resident James Georgiou displays the second place silver medal he brought home from the World Kickboxing Federation Championships in Italy. Georgiou currently holds the Canadian Kickboxing Championship in his weight class and plans on returning to Thailand this year to train and fight. Brett Mann/Metroland
Georgiou goes on to his next fight in Toronto at Woodbine Racetrack on December 17 and this time, “I know my opponent. He’s from a Toronto-area gym.” He is grateful for the fundraising support for his trip to Italy. “All the fundraising we did was just awesome. It helped out a whole lot,” says Georgiou, noting particularly help from a Tweedsmuir Tavern fundraising evening featuring his dad’s rock/blues band, Northern Voodoo. “I’ll probably be going back to Thailand again at the end of March or beginning of April to train and fight,” says Georgiou. He expects to stay in Thailand “probably around six months.” This will be his third trip to Thailand.

Le voyageur errant lands in Hastings BY BILL FREEMAN
Hastings – Jay Bailey is le voyageur errant (the wanderer). The retired French teacher and genuine voyageur from Simcoe landed at Hastings Public School Nov. 17 bringing with him his impressive presentation dedicated to les voyageurs and the critical role they played in the development of Canada from coastto-coast. Bailey, who spent much of his teaching life in Manitoba, has lived the life of a voyageur piling up over 4,000 km travelling in authentic gear and using actual birch bark canoes to follow the great fur trading routes
of the long-ago adventurers and their Métis and First Nations partners. Bailey’s first experience was a 1,500 km, 61 day trek in 2007 which took him and his voyageur confrères from Ottawa and back again via Lake Ontario, Georgian Bay and the French River complete with period clothing, bedding, gear and food which included cold pea soup and bannock. The presentation to grade four to six students included a slideshow depicting his 2007 journey and featured voyageur songs and dances, information about life in New France and the furs voyageurs risked their lives to trade.

Structure fires make for busy weekend for Tweed firefighters BY BRETT MANN
Queensborough – Tweed firefighters were kept busy on Sunday November 13 responding to two structure fires north of the village. Shortly before noon the fire department was called out to a garage fire on Hollister Road. Four fire trucks and 14 firefighters were able to get the blaze under control but “it spread a bit,” said Fire Chief Derrick Little. “The guys did a great job with bad wind conditions.” Flaming embers were carried over the tops of a nearby barn and outbuildings and started grass fires along the fence line behind, said Little. Another fire call came in shortly after, just before 1 p.m. “We just got cleaned up. Two minutes after the guys left the hall we
got a call about a woodshed fire on Queensborough Road.” By this time winds had dropped off some, and with the help of a neighbour the fire fighters were able to prevent the fire spreading. “We got some help from a neighbour with a pay-loader who helped move the wood,” Little reported. A season’s worth of fire wood was lost but “the guys saved a garage full of four-by-fours, et cetera. It could have been much worse.” The fire department responded with a rescue van, a pumper truck and the department’s new pumper/tanker truck that worked “really well,” said Little. “The guys are working really hard,” he added. “It’s been a busy year for the municipality.”

OPINION
A South Korea Rasputin “Sad thoughts trouble my sleep at night,” said South Korea’s President Park Geun-hye. “I realize that whatever I do, it will be difficult to mend the hearts of the people, and then I feel a sense of Gwynne Dyer shame.” And so she should, but it’s also hard not to feel some sympathy for her plight. This isn’t your usual political corruption case. She never benefitted from her actions in any way. Despite Park’s televised apology on November 4, the opposition-controlled National Assembly voted on Thursday to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the president, and anti-Park demonstrations continue daily. As a sitting president, she cannot be prosecuted, but prosecutors will begin questioning her next week. They also interviewed senior management officials at Samsung, Hyundai and Korean Air about allegations that they were pressured into donating millions of dollars to foundations controlled by Choi Soon-sil, a close friend of President Park. Even if the claims are true – and they probably are – Park deserves more pity than anger, for she couldn’t really help it. She was only nine when her father, General Park Chung-hee, seized power in South Korea in 1961. She was 15 when North Korean special forces infiltrated Seoul and launched an assault that got within metres of the presidential Blue House. And she was 22 when an assassination attempt on her father miscarried and killed her mother, Yuk Yeong-su, instead. It was then that pseudo-Christian cult leader Choi Tae-min, who had set up his own religious group known as the Church of Eternal Life, befriended the grief-stricken and isolated young woman. He told her that her mother had appeared to him in a dream, asking him to help her daughter, and she fell for it. Choi became her mentor, a relationship that became even closer after her own father was also assassinated in 1978. The lonely young woman also grew close to Choi’s daughter, Soon-sil, who was only four years younger – and that bond persisted even after Choi Tae-min’s death in 1994. Meanwhile Park Geun-hye was getting on with her life, getting elected to her now democratic country’s National Assembly in 1998 – but her top aide was Choi Soon-sil’s

ex-husband. She has been in the Choi family’s clutches for her entire adult life, and they really hit the jackpot when Park won the presidential election in 2012. The dictators who came before them had stolen too. It was practically a national tradition. But Park was different: she lived modestly, and she had no family to speak of. She had been estranged from her siblings for a long time (because of her relationship with Choi). Everybody knew the family was split, but they did not know much about Choi Soon-sil. Choi had no official position in Park’s government, but she and her rather bizarre inner circle – including her personal trainer, her personal gigolo, and a K-pop musical video director – had direct access to the president. Choi, who had no security clearance, regularly received secret government documents and even edited the president’s speeches. Choi Soon-sil also used her advance knowledge of the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism’s budgets to steer her cronies into the right bids for government contracts. She also shook down major South Korean corporations for millions of dollars on the strength of her claimed influence over the president. In total, some $70 million is alleged to have gone to Choi’s two “non-profit” foundations. Whether Park Geun-hye was aware of these “donations” is unknown, and the authorities have not yet gone through the books of the foundations to see if Choi was draining off funds for her personal use. But on the latter count, at least, suspicions are strong. What triggered Choi’s downfall was her attempt to get her not-too-bright daughter admitted to the prestigious Ewha Women’s University, claiming she had the president’s support. The girl was accepted, but the students launched a public protest against this breach of the university’s rules. Getting into the right university is as important in Korea as it is in Japan, and fairness in the selection process is sacred. At this point, late last month, Choi and her daughter gave up and left for Germany – but she left an unencrypted laptop behind in her abandoned office in Seoul with all the details of her manipulations. It was found by cable TV network JTBC, and the fat was in the fire. Choi is probably going to jail, her daughter is not going to university, and President Park is going...where? She has only fifteen months left of her five-year term, and the opposition parties would probably prefer to leave her in power, bleeding all over her own party’s credibility, rather than face an uncertain election now. But she is finished politically, and that just feels sad.

Cold, hard dump of truth as winter hits Editorial by Chris Malette Tired of the Trump rhetoric? The endless speculation of what kind of train-wreck shambles will take over the American levers of government in a month’s time? Well, this is much more important. One might say it’s life and death. It’s the debate about – wait for it – tires. Specifically, winter tires. True snow tires. The kind that grips better than any skins on the road when the mercury drops along with the snow, sleet and freezing rain. One might expect we’d dedicated the editorial space of your newspaper to weightier issues of, say, the price of hydro, the carbon tax debate or the implications of a renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement, but, really, if anyone ventures onto our roads or even sidewalks in this sudden whoomp of winter weather, they’d know for sure how important a few smart things are for winter driving. (And, yes, we DO need to remind ourselves of it all every winter, judging by the number of cars and trucks in the ditches last Sunday when winter howled in like your three-year-old on a can of Red Bull.) If you drive, simply put, you must – absolutely must – put winter skins on your vehicle. Must. No ifs, ands or buts. “Aw, I have really good, almost new all-season radials on my car/truck/SUV,” you say. “I have all-wheel/four wheel drive,” you say. Horse pucks, say the experts. Consider this: all season tires are now banned in Quebec in winter months, so ineffectual are they in coping with winter driving conditions. Are Quebec winters any more severe than ours? Depends on where you live, of course, but for most of us, not a lot, really. Often referred to as a no-season tire, an allseason tire does not pass what’s known as the Transport Canada medium-packed snow test to earn the Alpine pictograph designating it as a winter tire. (you’ll know it by a little peaked mountain graphic on the side of your tire.) Lettering like M & S – supposedly denoting its capability in mud and snow – on the sidewall is meaningless, as there is no test to pass and manufacturers can put them on any tire they like. That’s why tire companies have developed specific winter tires for ice, snow and cold driving conditions – and it’s not just about the tread. The reason we need winter tires is that nor-

mal tire rubber hardens as temperatures drop below 7 C. Tire rubber must be flexible to grip the road. At that temperature, an all-season and a winter tire have about the same traction. As the thermometer drops, the winter tire gains grip and the all-season loses it. Plain and simple, most of the people you’ll see in the rhubarb this winter will be sporting all-season tires. There’s a new skin out there, now, that some are considering and that’s the ‘all-weather’ tire which is purported to be the best of both worlds – between a summer and winter tire – and does not require changeovers and extra rims with the seasons. The all-weather tire also gains grip when it gets colder, it uses rubber compounds similar to the winter tire, but is made of sturdier stuff so that it can also withstand the summer heat of highway driving. All weather may not be the way to go for everyone, however. “Our [sales] people know to ask the right questions, ‘Does your driving include a lot of ice and heavy snow?’ If so, you need two sets of rims and summer and winter tires,’ John Mullin, Kal Tire senior vice-president of purchasing and marketing said in a recent interview. “But for people in a market where it hovers around zero, like Toronto and the lower mainland in British Columbia, “All-weathers can be the best choice.” It’s always important to stay focused on the road, especially during winter. Please, dear reader, stay safe on the roads. We want you reading, as do our friendly advertisers, so here are a few tips to keep in mind before you set out with, of course, those winter tires firmly beneath your feet: • Leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle ahead; • Stay on main roads; • Keep a phone charger in your car; • Avoid using overdrive or cruise control; • Slow down and move over for emergency vehicles; • Never pass a snow plow on the right-hand side; • Practice emergency braking to understand how your vehicle will react.

Stirling Council makes interim OPP launches festive R.I.D.E. program appointments permanent BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling—After serving as interim appointees since March of this year, three Stirling-Rawdon Township employees have had “interim” removed from their job titles. Stirling Council passed two bylaws on Monday, Nov. 21, giving treasurer and interim CAO Roxanne Hearns the job of Treasurer/Chief Administrative Officer and interim clerk Tawnya Donald the position of Clerk. As well, acting deputy clerk Cassandra Boniface was appointed Deputy Clerk. “I don’t know if the public understand the responsibility placed on you,” said Mayor Rodney Cooney, as he thanked them for stepping up and taking on these new responsibilities despite only 12 hours notice follow-

ing the resignation of previous township administrator Charles Croll on March 10. Council also appointed Deputy Mayor Bob Mullin to sit on the Stirling-Rawdon Police Services Board. He replaces Cooney, who had to resign from the board after being named the new Warden of Hastings County. In other news, council approved a request to change the garbage pickup day from Monday to Tuesday whenever Monday is a holiday. The next holiday Mondays will be Boxing Day (Dec. 26) and New Year’s Day, which this year falls on a Sunday, making Jan. 2 the statutory holiday. Council also passed a recommendation from the planning committee that a package be put together for developers that will contain contact names, the necessary application forms and a check list of items that must be completed, and that developers provide a deposit of $5,000 when they submit site plans and draft subdivision agreements for review by township staff and consultants.
Orillia – Launching its annual festive “Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere” (R.I.D.E.) campaign this week, the OPP is determined to dispel the myth that driving while high on drugs cannot be detected by police and is a safe alternative to driving under the influence of alcohol. Through the OPP drug evaluation and classification program, officers are trained as Drug Recognition Evaluators, giving them the authority and tools needed to detect drug-impaired drivers – something they hope no driver gives them a reason to use during the holidays. Over the coming weeks, the
OPP hopes to conduct a successful campaign in which every single driver they pull over in a Festive R.I.D.E. Stop is a sober, drug-free driver. Last year (2015), the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigated 65 road collisions in which a drug-impaired driver was found to be the primary cause of the crash. So far this year (2016), the same factor was behind 59 such collisions on OPP-patrolled roads. Tragically, 35 people have died so far this year in alcohol/ drug-related crashes, which has the total number of road deaths in this causal category over the
last ten years nearing the 650 mark. “The solution to ending impaired-related road deaths is a simple one. Never drive if you are impaired by alcohol or drugs and know that you are doing the right thing by calling 9-1-1 to report an impaired driver,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, provincial commander, traffic safety, and operational support. “By working together, we can positively influence driver behaviour in an effort to make sober, drug-free driving a social norm during the holidays and throughout the year,” he added.

Festival of Trees a community fundraiser BY SUE DICKENS
Warkworth – Google “Festival of Trees” and 19,200,000 websites show up but the one that really matters here is the 3rd annual Warkworth Festival of Trees and organizers are offering a sneak peak before and after the village’s annual Santa Claus parade. In fact jolly old St. Nicholas will be at the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts after the parade thanks to the parade committee for a sneak peak at the trees, to add to the excitement. “For me it is about bringing the community together and having fun and showing what our community has to offer people,” said Cheryl McLaughlin, of Warkworth Community Kitchen, one of groups hosting the fundraiser. Last year was the first time that the Percy Agricultural Society participated in the event and they are back as well. “We raised approximately $2,500 last year and about $2,000 the year before,” said McLaughlin. This year with more than 16 trees decorated and offered through the sale of tickets, hopes are even more money will be raised. Not only the volunteers but the sponsors also help make the fundraiser a success including Michael Kol
of Kol Tree Farms near Roseneath, a fourth generation Christmas tree farm, who donated all the trees for the festival. The trees are decorated by sponsors too. “Jeannine of Jeannine’s Backtalk Café purchases her own decorations and puts gift certificates for things all over her tree . . . Our Lucky Stars Cafe owner Elizabeth Aikenhead put products on her tree and Teri Dunk of Teri and Company puts salon products on her tree.” The festival’s sneak peak is Fri., Dec. 2 followed by two days of fundraising, Sat., Dec. 3 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sun., Dec. 4 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The draws will be at 3 p.m. A bake sale and raffle prizes add to the excitement.

Northumberland County dairy educator Amanda Twigg talks to students at Hastings Public School on Nov. 2. Bill Freeman/Metroland
Sharing a passion for dairy BY BILL FREEMAN
Dr. Paul Giuliani D.D.S.
Why Should I Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Cheryl McLaughlin of the Warkworth Community Kitchen is one of the groups hosting the 3rd annual Warkworth Festival of Trees fundraiser.
Wisdom teeth, so-called because they are the last teeth to emerge after childhood, usually erupt from ages 16 to 18, when people are considered “wiser” or more mature. Located at the back of the jaw, wisdom teeth are also referred to as the “third molars”. It is often advised that wisdom teeth are removed. Impacted or sideways wisdom teeth can be painful and cause infection as they try to erupt into the mouth. Cysts can sometimes form around impacted wisdom teeth, putting bone and the jaw at risk. Wisdom teeth may also only partially erupt, irritating gums and making proper cleaning difficult.

Hastings – “There is a huge generation gap in terms of how far removed we are from the farm,” says Amanda Twigg. Twigg, who grew up on a beef farm near Campbellford, has been the Northumberland County dairy educator for the past three years and spent a full day at Hastings Public School recenlty, talking to students about the dietary value

of dairy products and their alternatives, farm life, careers, technology and other curriculum-related topics. “It’s wonderful to share a passion with the kids,” says Twigg. “I think we need to start with them to get that message to parents, too, that farmers are working very hard and they really care about the products they produce.” Twigg always starts her presentations with the question, “Where do you think milk comes from?” It’s true that some kids still think the answer is Wal-Mart or the neighbourhood grocery store. Most students have a pretty good understanding of the production cycle that starts with milking on the farm. On the other hand, she admits fewer students visit farms today than they did in the past and that has led to some disconnections between what farmers do and what young people think they do. The local Dairy Farmers of Ontario committee runs the dairy educator program. Twigg took on the job after being asked if she knew of any teachers whom she thought might be interested in the project. She was quick to ask if you needed to be a teacher to apply and the answer was no. With an Agriculture degree, a fulltime job with an area farm supply company, and natural presence in front of a class, Twigg fits perfectly into the dairy educator’s role. “I teach riding lessons as well so teaching is important to me,” she adds. The program is curriculum based so teachers can pick the topics they want covered. Twigg uses everything from smart boards to videos in her presentations and says students have a “very good insight” into nutrition. “Obviously that’s being taught well in schools.” Older students, she adds, are sometimes surprised when they learn how tech-savvy modern farmers have to be. “They have to stay progressive.”

Stirling students campaign to save the Little Brown Bat BY TERRY MCNAMEE
About 80 Grade one students from Stirling Public School marched through town on Friday, Nov. 4. Pictured leading the march are, from left, grade one teacher Roxane Mossman-Cross and students Fernando, Eli, Aiyanna, Logan, Emma and Averie. Terry McNamee/Metroland
Stirling—There are 80 children in Stirling who think it is batty that adults would allow an importance species to become endangered, so they are doing something about it. Grade one students at Stirling Public School have been learning about the importance of the Little Brown Bat to the ecology of Ontario. To promote the need to protect this now-endangered species, on Friday, Nov. 4, they held a march through the downtown to make people aware of the disease, called white-nose syndrome that is killing bats and how important bats are. “The kids had the idea,” said teacher Roxane Mossman-Cross. Chanting “Save the Bats!” and wear-
ing bat-themed shirts they had decorated themselves, the youngsters drew positive responses from pedestrians, some of whom joined in with the chant. The march ended at the cenotaph, where the children met Mayor Rodney Cooney and Acting Clerk Cassandra Boniface and explained the importance of saving bats. The Mayor was very receptive to their message. “You guys have done your part, and now it’s up to council to do our part,” he said. He lived up to his promise by talking about the issue at the next meeting of council. “We challenged the grade ones by saying it is sad that they are dying, but how can we make a difference and help the bats?” Mossm a n - C ro s s said. “They came up with the ideas of making the shirts, parading through town and meeting the mayor.

“(In) our science curriculum, one of the big ideas is showing care and respect for all living things. It is our theme for the year. We hope to make a difference for many other living things in our community this year.” She said the children learned about different kinds of bats and how they are the only mammals that can fly. They were impressed that a single bat can eat a thousand insects — many of them mosquitoes — in just one hour. “Our students got to interact, through Skype, with a professor at the University of Winnipeg,” she said. “Dr. Craig Willis grew up in London, Ontario, and now studies the brown bat within his biology department in Manitoba. Craig took time to speak to our students about bats in Canada and the problems that are facing our bats. “What really stuck with them and concerned them was that the little brown bats that live in Ontario were dying from the white nose syndrome, and they wanted to help them,” she said.

Booster Park’s final donation for playground BY SUE DICKENS
Marmora – The Booster Park Campers Association are making sure the children’s playground remains an integral part of the daily and seasonal camping park located on Booster Park Road, Marmora. Cindy Giles and Laura Driscoll from the Association appeared during the delegation portion of a recent meeting of Marmora and Lake Council and presented a final donation, a cheque for $500, to Councillor Elaine Jones, who is council’s representative for the parks and recreation department. “This is the last of the fundraising for the park’s playground.”
In October 2015 the Association donated $1,500 for use in the playground area. This brings the total donated by the Association, in support of the playground, to $6,000. Deputy Mayor Linda Bracken commented on the “wonderful work you ladies do . . . not only activities for the park but for the community as a whole and any of the children in the area could come for Christmas in July, Halloween and more, it’s just marvelous. “The children in our community have a wonderful time at Booster Park because of the programs you put on . . . thank you very much,” she added

Mittens For Kittens help Stirling residents stay cozy BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling—Do you remember the tale of the three little kittens who lost their mittens? It was the inspiration for a project at the Stirling Public Library that encourages people to bring in new mittens for families who need them. Children’s librarian Jaye Bannon said the program, Mittens For Kittens, was founded by the library’s previous children’s librarian, Aly Barber. “This is our 10th year collecting mittens,” Bannon said. “We bring them over to the Community Cupboard in Stirling, and they use them in the Christmas baskets. We usually get between 250 and 300 pairs every year.” Most of the mittens are for children, but not all. There are mitts for teens and adults, too.
“It’s just what people have donated,” she said. She said that when there are extras not needed for the Christmas baskets, some of the mittens stay in the Community Cupboard for people who need them, and some go to Stirling Public School, since kids, like kittens, can lose their mittens. There is a wooden trunk in the lobby of the library where people can drop off new mittens. Bannon said many of the offerings are hand-knitted, but store-bought mitts are welcome, too. Mittens can be dropped off during regular library Stirling Public Library children’s librarian Jaye Bannon shows of the collection of hours.

Stirling residents discuss local policing issues with police chief BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling—Bringing concerns about things such as speeding, safety and dealing with people in crisis, about 10 people showed up on Saturday, Nov. 12, during a two-hour “Meet the Chief ” event with Chief Dario Cecchin. The drop-in event was held at the Stirling-Rawdon Police Services headquarters in Stirling. Despite the low turnout, Cecchin was happy with the event. “What I was hoping for was that people would bring their problems,” he said, noting that traffic issues were the main concern. This was the first such forum held by the department, he said. “In previous years, we did a public safety awareness forum,” he said. A big concern with some visitors was dealing with situations where people are drunk, high or mentally ill. Cecchin replied that, during a crisis such as a domestic disturbance, people generally can be talked to and calmed down, but those suffering mental issues or substance abuse are different.
“There is nothing (the police) can say,” to calm such a person down, he explained, and sometimes force is the only way to remove such an individual from the scene and get him/her help. Several people also asked what the situation was with the Township looking into whether replacing the local police force with the Ontario Provincial Police would be a good decision, and whether residents would be consulted before a decision is made by council. “I think it is the best practice to have a consultation,” Cecchin responded. He said other communities are going through similar deliberations. He added that the results of the OPP findings are expected to be presented to council in February, if not sooner. He said council’s decision probably will be based on many factors, not just cost, such as what the needs of the community are and how to serve those needs in the most cost-effective way. Cecchin said that people are welcome to drop in and talk to him at any time about policing, safety, traffic or other concerns.

Stirling—Except for motor vehicle accidents, incidents investigated by the Stirling-Rawdon Police Services are lower overall compared to last year. Speaking at the Polices Services Board meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 15, Chief Dario Cecchin said a comparison of the occurrences between January and October of 2016 and the same period last year showed 171 fewer incidents this year. However, there have been 10 more accidents this year to date, some of them serious. “Speed wasn’t always a factor,” he said. “It was various different things.” He said police are still investigating the case where a child waiting for a school bus was hit by a vehicle and another case where a motorcyclist was struck while trying to pass a hay wagon. A third serious accident was an attempted suicide. There have been a couple of notable arrests, he said. “As a result of a routine traffic stop. An individual was arrested for outstanding warrants from an OPP jurisdiction,” Cecchin said. “Because the individual tried to provide a false identity, he was also charged with personation and Obstruct Po-
lice Officer. He was lodged in cells and turned over to the OPP for processing of the arrest warrants. “An individual was investigated for a series of sexual assaults that occurred over several months. The individual was arrested and charged by the SRPS, lodged in cells and released on Promise to Appear at Belleville Provincial Court.” Other cases of note included a call to a domestic assault where police seized 11 firearms, a case where a person was sprayed with bear spray and a disturbance call in which officers discovered a young child not being properly supervised by an intoxicated parent, which resulted in another caregiver being located. That case was referred to the Children’s Aid Society. There has been a dozen fewer Persons Criminal Code offences and 19 fewer Property Criminal Code cases in 2016. There have been 13 fewer Highway Traffic Act charges at 443 versus 456 last year, both of which are well below the 716 recorded for the same 10 months in 2014. Other categories, such as general assistance calls, municipal bylaw enforcement, and disturbances and disputes are almost unchanged from last year.

This is Bennet’s eighteenth year and she’s still “flabbergasted” by the generosity.” “I just love it.” Bennet sees more families holding shoebox packing parties and each year new groups step forward with donations. Displays at local businesses have paid dividends with people picking up boxes and filling them up. “That meant the world to me; that I was truly doing something worthwhile,” she said. “It makes your work feel very appreciated. This week is reward week.” In 2015, Canadians donated 730,577 boxes. Worldwide, over 11 million shoeboxes were collected last year. Canadian shoeboxes are destined for countries like Chile, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Haiti and the Ukraine.

Tweed wants to attract, keep new businesses
BY MELYSSA GLOUDE
Tweed - It wasn’t just business as usual in Tweed for those who participated in last weeks’ unveiling of the 2016 final report for the Tweed and Area Business Retention and Expansion project. With 45 local businesses surveyed and all of the numbers crunched, Project Manager Nataly Woolfrey says that the process was a lengthy one. “This is the final report on the data that we’ve accumulated since we started in 2014,” says Woolfrey. “We had 45 business take part and this is all the information that we’ve synthesised. We’re moving on to the recommendation stage, so we’re just now going over all the outcomes and information that our companies have provided for us.” In 2014, the Tweed and Area Chamber of Commerce Board
of Directors initiated the Business Retention and Expansion Project (BR&E) for the business community in the municipality. Woolfrey says that there was an obvious need for more up-todate information on the local business climate and perceptions of Tweed’s local business owners. “We’re now going over what the perceptions are of local businesses in the community,” says Woolfrey. “What their suggestions and challenges are for being a successful business in the community. It’s about giving businesses owners a voice, and with 45 businesses in the community, giving them a voice on their particular needs means we can make plans that will help them directly and individually.” According to Woolfrey, the intent of the BR&E Project was to connect with business owners directly, and to get a pulse on the

current local economic climate in order to make recommendations for future projects and developments. “We had roughly 25 people come together to go through the raw data to produce recommendations, and then we will be moving forward with an implementation team,” says Woolfrey. “Businesses in large cities have widely different needs.” Overall, Woolfrey maintains that all of the data collected has been positive, and will now make it’s way to the implementation process in the new year.

Stirling Library Board chooses interim CEO BY TERRY MCNAMEE
*in select areas
www.lzb.ca/emc
Stirling—In a special meeting held Monday, Nov. 21, the Stirling Public Library Board chose children’s librarian Jaye Bannon as the library’s interim CEO. The library has been operating without a CEO since Sept. 2, when CEO Sue Winfield went on medical leave. Bannon’s appointment is effective immediately and will last until Winfield returns to work on Jan. 7. Board chairman Councillor Dean Graff said Bannon has been at the library for eight years. “She has all the qualifications she’s received while working at the library, and she’s familiar with all the procedures,” Graff said. “I think it was a pretty obvious choice. It was a unanimous choice by the entire library board.” Graff added that all the grant applications for this year have been completed, but the bud-
get will be due shortly. He said the board will give her all the help she needs to work on that. “She’ll work closely with Roxanne (Roxanne Hearns, the Township CAO) and the board.” However, regarding the grants, Winfield’s husband, Greg Winfield, said Friday, Nov. 18, that one application only got submitted in time because his wife, fearing the grant would be lost, came in voluntarily while on leave to complete it, since there was no interim CEO to do it. He said it was the type of grant which requires an annual application in order to keep it, and that his wife was very worried that the library would suffer financially without that funding. “It’s one of those, if you lose it, you never get it back,” he said. “There’s no way she should have had to come in on medical leave to do this. I want to make it known that Sue has had to do this while on medical leave.”

Campbellford hospital gallery brightens the spirits of passers-by BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford – Whether you’re a patient, a visitor or someone on the way to an appointment in the hospital, moments that lift the spirit as you proceed through the hallways are always welcome. Area artists have tried to create those moments by hanging some of their works in the corridor between the emergency and diagnostic imaging departments. “We often see patients taking the time to browse and enjoy the paintings,” said Catherine Holt, who handles communications for Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation. The Artists Care Project is a partnership between the foundation and the East Central Ontario Art Association (ECOAA). “We had this great hall we wanted to brighten up a little bit, and also display some area artists,” because what had been there before had “showed (its) age,” foundation executive director John Russell said. The first set of paintings went up six months ago and was really well received, Holt said. “The reaction from both the patients and the staff was excellent,” Russell said. “People are always commenting how much they like it. Staff in particular really like it.” The paintings, mostly oils with some done in
acrylic, are available for purchase, with prices ranging from $175 to $500, and each artist donates 30 per cent back to the foundation to go towards the acquisition of priority medical equipment. Among the artists whose works appear on the walls is Leigh Thompson, an X-ray technologist at the hospital until her retirement a few months ago. It was her idea that the foundation and the artists group become partners. “It’s great exposure because there are so many people that come through here,” Thompson said, and many artists don’t get a chance to show their works in art galleries. “It’s a good opportunity for us,” she said. “Even if we don’t sell, we like showing our art.” More than a dozen paintings were hung last week to replace the original group. “When I was working here it was lovely to see patients, who were being wheeled back to their rooms ... asking who was pushing them just to stop (to) have a look at them,” Thompson said. “It’s a change in landscape for the people. Art cheers you up, it’s good for you.” For the artists, “sometimes the display here is more important than the sales because you’re ... do- Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation executive director John Russell and ing something useful.” artists Doris Scott and Leigh Thompson set aside one afternoon last week to hang Russell encouraged people visiting the hospital to make sure they check out the paintings, saying they up the second display of artwork for The Artists Care Project.John Campbell/Metroland would make “a great Christmas present.”
Festive decorating contest should jazz up Hastings BY BILL FREEMAN
Hastings – It’s not the prize money that counts it’s the joie de vivre that is driving the Hastings Christmas/Winter Decorating contest. The decorating contest is being organized by Andrea Hennings and volunteers with the Hastings Revitalization and has two categories, business/commercial and residential, with a top prize of $100 in each division. “I just want it to be fun,” says Hennings, who was the chief organizer of the successful Easter egg hunt that drew droves of children and families to the village’s old ballpark. The reason she’s doing this? “People say that in winter time it kind of slows down. (With the contest) I kind of hope it makes Hastings look prettier,” says Hennings. “This will be a unique opportunity to showcase your home or business while joining in the holiday spirit and community celebrations,” she says on the poster promoting the event. The event is designed to “highlight the spirit of the holidays in our community” and to
show visitors that Hastings is a “wonderful place to live (in) year round.” “They can decorate however they wish,” Hennings adds. The judges will base their assessments on light display, originality, spirit and effort. All eligible entrants must register for the competition by Dec. 15. Registration is free. Judging will take place Dec. 20 at 6 p.m. The decorations will complement the lights that will go up in downtown Hastings during the holiday season. Hennings and another group of HRA volunteers recently teamed up to create large round wreaths and other decorations for the village. The village already has some impressive home displays and Hennings and the HRA hope the contest builds on what others have been doing over the years. The important thing, she adds, is to make the displays visually appealing to visitors and to have some real festive fun creating them. For more information call 705-957-3214.

Students get front row Dancing and grooving for fitness and funds seats at HBM council BY BILL FREEMAN
Havelock – A class of grade two students from Havelock Belmont Public School got a front row seat at a recent township council meeting. Students in Jennifer Sole’s class made the trek from Havelock Belmont Public School to the HBM municipal office where they spent some time watching a council meeting and touring the building. They watched as council dealt with a surplus property issue related to a long disused road just north of County Road 46. The old roadbed has not been used since the mid1960s when Peterborough County took over the former township road and realigned the new road (County Road 46) by eliminating some curves. The horseshoe shaped former road is used by the local ATV and snowmobile clubs but also separates one parcel of land from land fronting the county road.
The students were not shy about asking questions wanting to know everything from how old you needed to be to serve on council to how old current councillors are. They were curious about the arrangement of flags along the wall behind Mayor Ron Gerow and photos depicting local politicians who have served as Peterborough County Warden. Mayor Gerow, who served two separate terms as warden, is included in the photo display. They also learned that the municipal office was once the Havelock post office and that the addition containing the council chamber was built following the amalgamation of the Village of Havelock with the Township of Belmont-Methuen in 1997-98. The students were introduced to each councillor and clerk Bob Angione and CAO Pat Kemp as well as Bill Freeman of the Central Hastings-Trent Hills News. They also met municipal office staff.
Cameron Cooper, Mason Leavitt, Jerica Warford, and Gracie Peat were among the dancers at the Havelock Belmont Public School dance-a-thon. Bill Freeman/Metroland BY BILL FREEMAN
Havelock – It was a dance, dance fitness revolution at Havelock Belmont Public School. Students from kindergarten to grade eight busted moves on the dance floor during a rhythm-driven dance-a-thon on Oct. 31 raising a tidy sum of $4,700 for the HBPS school council. It was the second straight year a dance-athon was hosted by the school council and once again volunteer organizers were stunned by the way people rallied around the event. “Our community is amazing. It’s always so supportive. It’s been a great big success,” said Alicia Leany, the school council’s co-fundraising coordinator. Last year the dance raised $6,315, the largest amount realized by a single fundraiser at the school. “We set the bar so high last year,” Leany admitted. The dance-a-thon was part of the Healthy Schools Initiative, which promotes physical activity and was broken into stages with the junior students on the floor in the morning and senior students dancing in the afternoon. The dancers had breaks through-

out the event with the school council provided healthy snacks and water with donations from Havelock Foodland and Belmont Springs. The funds are earmarked for various projects including head lice checks, end-of-year trips, refinishing one of the school’s ball diamonds and resurfacing the track. “There’s no shortage of places where we can definitely spend the money,” Leany said. Leany says that the list of names on pledge sheets encompassed the entire township including plenty of people with no children at the school. “It shows we’re a very close-knit community both within the school and Havelock as well,” she said. “It’s great to see our community is really into helping our kids and our school community. I’m really glad for that.” The top student fundraiser pulled in $315 while the top class raised $753. The winning student will get a stretch limo ride into Peterborough with HBPS principal Daryl Whitney where they will dine at Pizza Hut. The Welsh Limousine Company of Keene donated the ride.

New Chamber of Commerce President Will Austin surveys Tweed business scene BY BRETT MANN
Tweed – Sitting in the spacious dining room of Newton House, the Tweed Bed and Breakfast Will and Tammy Austin run, Will, the newly-elected President of the Tweed Chamber of Commerce recently reported on a major business survey the C of C has completed. In conjunction with the municipality and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs the group contacted businesses in the greater Tweed area to gather concerns and ideas. “About 45” of them responded and the results of the ‘Business Retention and Expansion’ survey were released at a well-attended gathering in November at the Marble Arts Centre. Respondents included retail, tourism, agriculture and manufacturing businesses. Natalie Woolfrey, a C of C director spearheaded the study. “The idea came up in ‘14 and most of the legwork was done in ’15 and ’16,” said Austin. “It’s taken time because it’s all volunteers that were doing it.” The survey examined factors such as how many current owners are operating the business, what people think about municipal property taxes, the availability of space for rentals, local roads, highways, adequate housing, and cell phone and Inter-
net service. Hydro costs emerged as a common complaint and “we’re going to try to get together to see if we can put any pressure on the government.” Directional signs and public parking on the main street were also areas of concern. Developing loyalty programs to encourage people to shop in town were discussed. “There were a lot of people that were concerned about marketing and networking, because marketing is a large expense to everybody’s business,” Austin observed. Workforce availability was another problem area people reported. “There’s not a huge workforce to draw on here and they don’t seem to have the qualifications the businesses are looking for. We going to see if we can’t find some way of training these people if the businesses take them on.” Austin notes, “there are programs out there to help and that’s part of what Karen does, too.” Karen Fischer is the Ontario Ministry liaison working with the project. The survey found some positive results as well. Majorities or near-majorities felt that Internet services and municipal tax rates were “good” or “excellent.” A substantial majority also rated municipal and medical services good to excellent. “Now we’ll try to implement some things people are curious or concerned about,” said Austin.
Will Austin is the new President of the Tweed and Area Chamber of Commerce. The C of C in partnership with the municipality and the Provincial government recently conducted a broad survey of businesses in the greater Tweed area. The group will now try to address common concerns, such as high hydro costs. Brett Mann/Metroland

Madoc – A short-term solution has been approved by Centre Hastings Council enabling ATVers and snowmobilers to continue using the rail trails in the area of the Moira Lake trestle bridge, which has been closed temporarily for safety reasons. As instructed by council, staff had a meeting with the OPP, Ministry of Transportation and the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance (EOTA) General Manager Cindy Cassidy to discuss options for trail traffic. The meeting resulted in a recommendation put forward in a report by Centre Hastings CAO/Treasurer Christine Martin to council that the best solution to the problem is a detour around the lake on municipal roads. It was also noted “legislation in place under the Highway Traffic Act states that ATVs and snowmobiles are not allowed on Highway 62 south of Highway 7,” answering another question that affected the final decision. Martin noted in her report, “There are exceptions made within the trails agreements for approved crossings but not for travelling the road.” Council agreed that staff will work with Cassidy to create maps, signage and communication to the public of the bridge closure and suggested routes.
The bridge is at least 136 years old. Like many railways dismantled since the 1970s, the right-of-way was turned over to rail-trail use and now forms the Trail of Two Lakes. Operations of the trail are managed by the EOTA under agreement with Centre Hastings. In a briefing note the municipality pointed out that the EOTA trail network “brings significant business opportunities.” In 2013 the EOTA is said to have evaluated the impact of the trail network from Haliburton Highlands to the Ottawa Valley region to have contributed almost six million dollars in visitor spending to the local economy with additional large impacts on local employment and taxes. “Closure of the bridge has significant potential to be detrimental to local economic activity in the immediate,” stated council in its notes. Now that plans to solve the short-term challenge are underway council will be able to begin to consider the long-term challenge of replacing the bridge. The estimate by Greer Galloway Consulting Engineers indicates a cost of about two and a half million dollars but council feels “newer bridge construction technologies and options may offer less expensive solutions.” Centre Hastings municipal staff is currently investigating the cost of removal and replacement options.

Marmora pooch parlour fundraises for CMH patients patients over the years. She held an open house every year to showcase her home that was decorated from top to bottom with a ChristPhoto submitted mas tree in every room. She had such a giving spirit and brought so much joy to my family, I wanted to do something to express my deep appreciation for her,” said Hunt. “I love our hospital, I use it a lot, I am accident prone,” she added with a chuckle. In 2013 and 2014 Hunt hosted the Wags & Whiskers Walk-a-thon at the Marmora Memorial Park to raise money for the hospital “but then I had grandchildren and that threw a wrench into it,” she said laughing. She hopes her latest fundraiser will continue to keep people involved with helping the hospital. “People love their dogs and pets and appreciate opportunities to enjoy those extra-special moments with them and they love Campbellford Memorial Hospital and want to keep great health care close to home.” Hunt is a “huge cat fanatic and so we’re hoping for some cats too.”
Maggie, a rescued Shih Tzu, braved this photo session with owner Santa Claus (Tara Hunt) hoping to inspire dog owners (pet owners) to attend one of Hunt’s “Pet Photos for Santa” fundraising events for the Campbellford Memorial Hospital. BY SUE DICKENS
Marmora – The spirit of giving has tails wagging as the owner of Marmora’s Pooch Parlour Dog Grooming Services, Tara Hunt, prepares to host a “Pet Photos for Santa” fundraiser. “All the proceeds will go to the Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH),” said Hunt, who is hosting the fundraiser in Campbellford as well. “I’ve always wanted to do this,” said Hunt, who hopes to raise a minimum of $1,000 for a plaque in memory of Rosalee Burn, “who was a dear acquaintance of mine”. The plaque will be placed on a new in memoriam donor wall to be installed at CMH. “Rosalee was a nurse with the VON who cheerfully cared for hundreds of

Madoc food bank accepting hamper applications BY SUE DICKENS
Madoc – The Helping Hands Food Bank in Madoc is taking applications for Christmas hampers throughout the month of November. “In the basket is food for all of Christmas Day,” said Sally Gale, executive director of the Central Hastings Support Network (CHSN), which operates the Helping Hands Food Bank. Gale, who volunteered for one year and then became the Helping Hands coordinator for the next three years, talked about how there has been an increase in the need for their services particularly at this time of year. “We have about 220 clients each month now. Mostly people on Ontario Works or on disability or the working poor, and seniors on a basic pension . . . there are quite a lot of seniors and some young families,” she said. Last year the Helping Hands Food Bank served 1779 clients. The Christmas hamper is a way of helping people cope during the holidays taking some of the pressure off that seems to come with the season. “We give them turkey for families and a chicken for singles and couples. We give potatoes, fresh vegetables, carrots, canned vegetables, stuffing and can-
dy and cakes and fruit,” said Helping Hands Coordinator Jane McCulloch. “Because of Foodland’s turkey bucks program we get most of the cost of our turkeys covered by schools (high school and two public schools) and churches that collect them and then donate to us,” she added. The food bank does have to buy a lot of the foods that is meant particularly for Christmas hampers so financial donations are always welcome, however “lots of people do specific food drives for us too. . . The schools are really supportive of us.” Madoc Public School and Madoc Township Public School always do a contest to see which school can raise the most turkey bucks. Ivanhoe Cheese donates enough “so we can give a block to every single family and Dempsters donates bread,” said McCulloch. The local Kiwanis club “generously donates their hall to the program for two days, without charge and the Cadets come and pack
Pet Photos with Santa will happen on: Mon., Nov. 28 and Tues., Nov. 29 from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Pooch Parlour, 160 Marble Point Road in Marmora and again on Sun., Dec. 4 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Rotary Youth Hall, 179 Saskatoon Avenue in Campbellford. Dogs must be on a leash and all other animals, cats, rabbits, etc. must be crated for safety reasons. “What’s more fun during the holiday season than hanging out with ‘Santa Claus’ and capturing the moment in a photo?” said Hunt. She thanks the Rotary Club of Campbellford and Fynn & Wylder Handmade Baby & Toddler Clothing (on Facebook) for their support. A $10 minimum donation will mean folks will receive two 4” x 6” colour photos. Appointments are not necessary. Donations can also be made directly to the CMH Foundation In memory of Rosalee. For more information call 613-472-0364.

Flicker of hope that Campbellford will make the playoffs
BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford – Two more games, two more losses but despite all odds a glimmer of hope remains that the Campbellford Rebels will turn the corner on a dismal season that has seen it go winless in 18 contests. Sounding a note of optimism is general manager Gord Crowe who insists the team has a shot at making the playoffs because the teams closest to the Rebels “are knocking each other
off ” and Campbellford has been showing signs of improvement in recent weeks. After losing 4-1 to Amherstview Nov. 19 at home, following a 5-2 defeat in Picton two days earlier, the Rebels are currently 17 points out of a playoff spot in the Tod Division of the Provincial Junior Hockey League’s East Conference, with 22 games remaining, but Crowe believes there’s enough ground remaining for Campbellford to close the gap, “now that the team is competitive.” It’s allowing fewer shots and firing more in return, he said. With more consistent goaltending, “we are ready to get over that losing hump.” The Rebels suffered a huge drain in talent to start the season, with players getting jobs, moving, or going to school “all over the place,” Crowe said, forcing the team to scramble to fill the roster. “We were starting basically from scratch.”
Tweed Novice Hawks finalists in Pembroke Silver Stick Tournament
There are 18 rookies in the lineup and just three veteran Junior C players – Jeremiah Doherty, Robby Ellis and Matt Tarbutt. With so many youngsters unaccustomed to playing junior hockey and 60-minute games, against older players, it’s been a challenge, “but there has been a lot of positive signs” of late, Crowe said. “They’re getting used to the tempo, the physical aspects, just everything,” he said. “It has taken a while for them to adjust.” Despite the prolonged losing streak, the team still has “a great dressing room attitude,” Crowe said. “The kids can see our team coming together and (they) have all bought into head coach Carl MacKenzie’s hockey systems. They are starting to pay dividends.” Campbellford hosts the Napanee Raiders this Saturday. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Glenora Fisheries - Historic research in historic building BY JACK EVANS
Glenora - Whether approached by land or water, the towering four-storey stone building just east of the Glenora Ferry is obviously a historic structure. Built in 1877 as an iron foundry to make
water turbines, it was converted during the First World War to a munitions plant. It was purchased by the Ontario government in 1922 for a fish hatchery for whitefish and lake trout. In 1954, the hatchery was phased out and

it became a research facility in 1957. So now approaching its 60th year of records keeping of water temperatures, fish species, numbers, conditions and more, it has the most extensive historical records of any fresh water fisheries in the world. The historic work continues day-by-day with a staff that embraces fresh water sailors to technologists to fully qualified research scientists, hovering around 40 including part time and full time. Because of their specialized work and qualifications, they commute from as far as Stirling, Trenton and Belleville, reports Steve McNevin, operations supervisor for the Glenora Fisheries Research Station, Lake Ontario Management Unit of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. At this time of year, the boat crews are busy at stocking one-year-old fish from lake trout and deep water cisco (fresh water herring.) The main purpose of the ciscos is as live food for lake trout with its angling and commercial value. Lake trout is a native species that was once almost eradicated but is now making a comeback thanks to controls and stocking. “The balance between predator fish and their natural prey is a critical factor in fisheries health and management,” said McNevin from his office. His window overlooks a breathtaking view of the Bay of Quinte, the comings and goings of the Glenora ferry, and his fleet of two large tugs and seven commercial sized fishing boats, including one dedicated to electrically stunning fish in the water. As a research centre, it thrives on the latest type of scientific technology and on highly
trained and specially qualified staff. The inventory includes special sub-zero freezers for quick freezing, electronic microscopes that can project a tiny sample of the inner ear of a fish onto a large television screen, and more. All summer long, crews from the station prowl the waters of the Bay of Quinte, the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario, right up to Hamilton harbour, recently the site of a massive restoration project of shore-spawning walleye which has proven to be successful. Their records include species, weights, size, diet, age, depths, habitat, water temperatures, and more. Their storage focuses on scale samples, also, a section of the inner ear called an “oscillith,” which helps fish to maintain their balance in turbulent waters. This organ also accurately registers the age of a fish by a series of rings. Meanwhile, in partnership with the New York State fisheries, Glenora continues to be involved in trying to preserve and reestablsih the American eel population, plus rainbow trout and other species. One new method being used successfully in recent years is the establishment of open water ‘ponds’ in which fingerlings from a hatchery are placed to help imprint their location for return and future spawning. Two of these are in the immediate Quinte area off Prince Edward County. Others are near Toronto. Some 60 species of fish are recognized in Lake Ontario waters, with invasive species a constant threat, said McNevin. Thus constant monitoring is required. With some species hovering in depths of 200 metres or more, continued on page 3

Keeping tabs on the health of Lake Ontario fishery continued from page 2 details of their catches. Simi-
getting equipment that can go deep enough is a problem, but fortunately, their partners in the New York fishery can go deeper. Sculpin , a prime species of prey for lake trout, is one such fish, being found in increasing numbers in much deeper water than expected. They feed on tiny fresh water shrimp on the bottom of the lake. Alewife are also a major food fish for larger fish and they numbers must also be carefully and constantly monitored. In partnership with the Ministry of the Environment, the station also carves out samples of flesh and labels them for regular checking for contaminant levels, he said. Because so many of the staff are involved hands-on in on-water situations, safety equipment and training are given top priority, with special exercises held regularly. Records are collected year round on angler numbers, success and catches. Many anglers form partnerships with the station maintain fish “diaries” of where, when and
larly, many volunteer groups are involved in projects to obtain data or improve habitat. “Social media is the new key tool for anglers,” said McNevin, with reports of good catches and locales on electronic media quickly drawing attention. The station also monitors the commercial fishery, including licences and catches. On the ground floor is a state of the art aquarium featuring key species. The same area is also used for baitfish research. It is a popular attraction for dozens of school groups coming from across the region every year, said McNevin, but for casual visitors, “It’s not part of the winery tour.” Even with the approach of winter, stocking of lake trout and cisco remain under way, weather permitting. This in itself is an ambitious annual project of more than two million hatchlings every year plus a further four million by New York State. New York runs a similar research facility just across from Kingston Crew from the Glenora Fisheries research station is shown here on the electrified fishing boat used to stun fish when doing research on the lake. at Cape Vincent.

Central Hastings – While thousands march in major U.S. cities against the presidency of Donald Trump, here at home Facebook was soon filled with comments following the election for president and later the local MP offered his perspective on the situation when contacted for a comment. “I’m supportive of Prime Minister Trudeau’s statement that he released. My perspective is the same as it has always been, and that is that I have to do what I’ve been elected to do: find common ground and move forward,” said Mike Bossio, MP Hastings-Lennox and Addington told the Central Hastings/Trent Hills News. In his official statement released the day after the election, Prime Minister Trudeau said in part, ““Canada has no closer friend, partner, and ally than the United States. We look forward to working very closely with President-elect Trump, his administration, and with the United States Congress in the years ahead, including on issues such as trade, investment, and international peace and security. Days after the election the fallout contin-
ues with media reports including Metroland’s Hamilton Spectator with a headline on the weekend which stated, “Thousands rally, march in nationwide anti-Trump protests.” Reports of Trump’s successful use of social media are also circulating in the news. The BBC News headlined a story, “‘Crazy’ to say Facebook helped Trump win – Zuckerberg”. Here at home Facebook was filled with comments from folks, who along with many other Canadians watched and reacted to the U.S. presidential election. One Facebook posting by Maree Lien stated, “She (Hillary Clinton) is a qualified, capable person who has devoted her life to public service. There is no comparison.” Trent Hills resident Irene Lawson posted, “Very scary no matter how it ends.” Another, Joan Paylor Sheppard posted, “There is a real rural/city divide for starters.” Now that the election is over Donald Trump continues to tweet his own perspective including one on Nov. 11 that stated: “Love the fact that the small groups of protestors last night have passion for our great country. We will all come together and be proud.”
The flu is here had a flu shot to get vaccinated. The confirmed case is for Influenza A, says Peterborough – Seasonal influenza is here. Peterborough Public Health confirmed the medical officer of health Dr. Rosana Salvafirst local lab-confirmed case Nov. 18 and is terra. “We now know that seasonal influenza is once again encouraging people who haven’t circulating in our community,” said Dr. Salvaterra. “Usually there are more cases of influenza in the community than are reported by the lab so we strongly encourage residents to get their flu shot to protect themselves and others as it’s still early in the season.” Dr. Salvaterra notes that this year’s first case arrived much earlier than last year’s first lab-confirmed case, which was reported January 15. Public health officials recommend the flu shot for everyone over six months of age. It is especially important for people with a weakened immune system, pregnant women, young children, the elderly, and anyone who takes care of people in these groups. Flu shots are widely available at local pharmacies, at doctor’s offices and local walk-in clinics. Since Sept. 1, Peterborough Public Health has distributed approximately 30,410 doses locally, which is in addition to those pharmacies which receive vaccine directly from other distributors approved by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States says that antiviral medications are approximately 70 to 90 per cent effective in preventing influenza. BY BILL FREEMAN

Ontario could be doing more to increase visitor spending in the province translated into long-term, sustainable gains in tourism visitation, the four chambers of commerce in Northumberland County said in a joint release. “This past spring we participated in the government consultation with tourism stakeholders to develop a long-term tourism strategy for the province,” said Jeff Hamilton, chair of the Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce. “It is our hope that the solutions identified in this report are incorporated into this tourism strategy that is currently being developed by
the government. Attracting global visitors to Ontario is vital to the economic prosperity of the seven municipalities in Northumberland that rely on visitor spending.” “We are confident that as the government creates their plan to close the gap, they will find the recommendations in the OCC report useful,” said Sherry Hamilton, manager of the Brighton-Cramahe Chamber of Commerce. “Tourism affects a number of other sectors and for that reason has the potential to provide economic benefit on a wider scale with
Schools could close in Belleville, Centre Hastings and PEC BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Picton - The Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board is about to conduct accommodation reviews for school groups in Belleville, Centre Hastings and Prince Edward County, but school groups in Quinte West, the Bayside area and North Hastings will not be affected. Trustees voted to move forward with the review process for the three areas at a board meeting in Picton on Monday, Nov. 21. An accommodation review is essentially a public consultation process to examine whether a board should close certain schools, build new ones or consolidate some schools. It sets the stage for what promises to be an emotional process, acknowledged board spokeswoman Kerry Donnell, but she stressed that no decisions will be made on a whim. The review process takes up to seven months and is heavily dictated by Ministry of Education guidelines. In the coming days the board is expected to announce more information
– such as public meetings to discuss the ideas – and let, families, municipal officials and other stakeholders know about the plans. “We realize that schools are the centres of communities and there’s a lot of emotions attached to schools,” Donnell said. “This accommodation review process is so important to get community input for community members to look at the data – the raw data – and to determine what’s the best outcome for students in the future. It’s an important process, it’s a sensitive process.” A plethora of options are available in all three areas and they would greatly effect both the secondary and elementary school communities if ultimately approved. A report to the board, outlines two options for Belleville: Option 1 suggests closing Quinte Secondary School and modifying boundaries so some students can move to Centennial Secondary School. It also suggests closing Moira Secondary School and seek approval for a new high school to accommo-
date Moira and Quinte students. Option 2 outlines closing Quinte SS and modifying boundaries so that some students move to Centennial and others to Moira. Then the board would seek approval for an addition to Moira. Numerous options for elementary schools that feed those high schools are also listed. In Centre Hastings, the review is proposing that Madoc Township school be closed and students there be moved to Madoc Public School. It also suggests relocating Grade 7 and 8 students from Madoc Public School to Centre Hastings Secondary School, creating a Grade 7-12 model, for September 2017. In Prince Edward County, the proposal suggests the closing of several elementary school and have students attend Prince Edward Collegiate Institute. It also suggests the closure of CML Snider School and Kente Public School and have the board seek funding for a new K-8 school in Wellington by Sept. 2020. More details are listed at www. hpedsb.on.ca. Look under the board meeting updates section.
proper investment. The report identifies a number of challenges faced by tourism operators and the broader tourism community in Ontario, while presenting a series of action items to address them. The four local chambers of commerce said they are encouraged that the government is moving ahead with an action plan for the province’s tourism industry, a key consideration highlighted by its membership. The report is clear about the need for any provincial strategy to include measurable targets, a practice currently employed by many successful tourism destinations, they said. These targets would help to organize and coordinate tourism activities among the diverse group of public and private tourism organizations in Ontario, another key recommenda-
tion of the report. “Ontario’s tourism sector needs a dedicated strategy driven by the provincial government that not only promotes tourism within Ontario, but also focuses on drawing in visitors from around the world,” said Allan O’Dette, president and CEO of the OCC. “If we can do this successfully, the province will achieve substantial economic gains while keeping up with global growth trends.” To produce this report, the OCC convened a group of Ontario’s leading thinkers within the tourism community. The report builds on previous initiatives undertaken by members of the tourism industry and further substantiates the need for a focused and measured approach targeted towards supporting the future of tourism in Ontario.

Brighton-Trent Hills – Ontario is missing out on billions of dollars in visitor spending by not keeping up with global growth trends in tourism. According to a report by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, Closing the Tourism Gap: Creating a Long-Term Advantage for Ontario, that failure to take full advantage of international growth rates cost the province nearly $16 billion in visitor spending between 2006 and 2012. While this year has been a strong year for tourism in Ontario, it is important that the recent growth is

Author provides glimpse into political backrooms, speaks in Tweed Nov 29
Celebrate Incredible. Help us recognize the junior citizens who make our communities better. Nominate someone age 6–17 for a 2016 Ontario Junior Citizen Award! Annaleise Carr, 2012 and 2014 Ontario Junior Citizen, Simcoe, ON At 14, Annaleise Carr was the youngest person ever to swim across Lake Ontario. Two years later, Annaleise swam across Lake Erie. Combined these efforts raised awareness and hundreds of thousands of dollars for Camp Trillium, a family camp for children with cancer. Her book, Annaleise Carr: How I Conquered Lake Ontario to Help Kids Battling Cancer, inspires others to take on great challenges and help their fellow citizens.
Tweed - Have you ever wondered what goes on in the backrooms and war rooms of political campaigns? John Laschinger, guest author at the Tweed Public Library on November 29, will be pulling back the curtains on the high-pressure action behind the scenes of political leadership and election campaigns. His latest book, Campaign Confessions, Tales from the War Rooms of Politics, was published in September and has quickly become a best seller for Dundurn Press. In his foreword to this unique book, Peter Mansbridge says about John, “… here’s what’s best about him. He has known winning and losing and he’s not afraid to talk about both”. Laschinger goes wherever political contests call him. As Canada’s only full-time campaign manager, he has been involved in 50 leadership and election campaigns across Canada and internationally during his 45year career. He has worked on campaigns for Brian Mulroney and Joe Clark. He has advised and provided research for politicians such as Mike Harris, Don Getty and Bernard Lord. He directed political party leadership campaigns for John Tory and Belinda Stronach. He was the mayoral campaign manager for David Miller and later for Olivia Chow. No one knows more about Canadian political campaigns than “Lasch,” as his friends call him. His book has gained high praise from politicians and journalists. Preston Manning writes, “John is a master of the techniques and strategies of political campaigning, and shares them all in this book.” Brian Mulroney described the book as a “fascinating account
Author/political strategist John Laschinger. Submitted photo
of backroom strategy and drama.” And journalist Rex Murphy said, “Those who love politics for its camaraderie, its nerviness, and its competitiveness will find a harvest in these pages”. You can hear this latest author in the Writers’ Series, sponsored by the Friends of the Tweed Library, on Tuesday, November 29 at 7 p.m. at the Tweed Public Library on Metcalf Street. Copies of Lascher’s book will be available for purchase and signing.

The Good Earth Themed gardens can bring out artistry
Dan Clost Have you ever thought to “do” a theme garden? Perhaps one incorporating all of the plants mentioned in Shakespeare’s writings; how about those in the Old Testament; maybe a First Nation’s medicine chest; all white flowers or, if you’re really clever, your clan’s tartan. I once did a small Goth plot in which I combined some black metal roses arising from a bed of black pansies. Themes are both easy and tricky
to pull off. Once upon a thyme, (a really obvious pun for Ellyn) I cobbled up an English country garden. Very simple thing to do, right? I pulled a list from an English gardening book, picked the plants that accept our climate and just popped them into the soil. Well, that’s what I did and, in doing so, managed to make some of the most beautiful flowers look like a jumbled mass of weeds. I neglected to take into account that attention to design was, always will be, the most important part of creating a garden. There is often a peculiar artistry dwelling inside most gardeners which is illustrated through a living medium. Therein lays a real challenge: while much art is frozen in time, including music, gardens exist in all the dimensions and all the senses transforming their presentation over time. This is why it is so important to get those fundamental elements right at the beginning. An amusing ingredient of this is the subtlety which can be imbedded (a not so subtle pun for Ellyn) into the design if you wish. Shakespeare lends himself to so many interpretations: “What’s in a name...” from Romeo and Juliet obviously using the named plants, or Sonnet 130 with which you would need to be more creative. For “lips more red than any
corall stone”, it is unlikely that you would use a real piece of red coral but you might find a plant of similar colour, perhaps some Red Cauli sedum. There is a caution when working with themes and that is to maintain a balance between creation and contrivance especially with the latter unavoidably inherent in the process. One obvious theme to explore for 2017 is a garden celebrating our nation’s sesquicentennial; in fact, Ontario Gardener magazine is sponsoring a contest based on just that. GR, red and white will be nice- sort of like bunting on the gazebo on Canada Day- but you can embrace a more diverse plant palette. You create a natural landscape with all Native Canadian plants, or with plants introduced by Canadians (Preston lilacs) and Canadian nurseries (Ivory Silk lilac from Sheridan or Canadale Gold euonymus from the Intvens at Canadale.) Going back to the aboriginal apothecary, Mahonia
aquifolium- (Oregon Grape Holly) would make a very good cabinetshaped hedge and Gaultheria procumbens (Winterberry) suits nicely as shelving. Within themed beds, feel free to incorporate garden art or accoutrements that will enhance the conceptualization. A Monet-based garden would benefit from an obelisk similar to the Eiffel Tower or a small lily pond. More than objets d’art, these pieces can be suggestions or outright clues to the viewer. Hardscape also merits careful consideration. Fence material and construction methods consistent with the period fill in the theme. Construct raised beds for potagers using tree trunks as walls and branches for
climbing bean tripods; not bamboo poles unless you have an Asian veggie garden on the grow. Willow stems woven into a wattle wind-break will serve as both function and art. You can even work with pathway construction and materials. Crazy paving (think irregularly shaped flat stones) would be consistent in a Shakespearean or ancient Roman theme but not necessarily a cottage garden. This winter, take some time to develop your theme. The research will fill many a cold, dark night and, quite possibly, be as satisfying as the actual gardening.

Rotary makes a splash for Sailability BY JACK EVANS
Belleville - Still helping disabled youngsters and adults to uplift their goals by sailing is the Quinte Sailability agency, one of the most successful such groups in a small community in Canada, says its director, Fletch Fletcher. Fletcher addressed the Rotary Club of Quinte Sunrise at the Greek banquet hall Thursday morning. He also brought along a brand new “coach boat” purchased by a collaboration of five Quinte area Rotary clubs at a cost of about $15,000. Of special significance for the Sunrise
club was that one of its own members, Gord Leverton, won the competition for the new boat’s name with his entry of “Rotary Compass.” He was presented with his prize during the meeting. Fletcher, whose organization has garnered national success in regattas and races across Canada, reviewed the value of the program. He promoted the slogan for its participants: “There’s no speed limit on the water – so why limit yourself ?” He cited one young man who was proud to call himself an “athlete of national sta-
tus” thanks to the program which allowed him to compete and win in regattas from Vancouver to Halifax. It really built up his self esteem, he said. Being able to sail by oneself breeds such
esteem and also inspires other efforts, he contended. He also expressed thanks for the donation of the boat. The boat is used by coaches to monitor and assist the fleet of some 11 sailboats used every summer.

Serious savings on great looking furniture? Let the shopping begin!
Bay of Quinte hailed as great place for food processing Belleville – Companies looking to establish or relocate their food processing businesses have good reason to be drawn to the Bay of Quinte, economic leaders say. Six different site selectors – in the business of finding their food processing clients the best locations to set up shop – visited the Bay of Quinte area in September. They observed an established supply chain, a diverse industry sector and an ideal logistics location backed by strong economic development support – all information that influences whether or not a site is recommended to their clients. The site selector tour visit was organized by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA). A key host in their visit was the Quinte Economic Development Commission (QEDC) – an organization jointly commissioned by Belleville, Quinte West and Brighton. It was a familiar role for the QEDC, which frequently works with international site selectors to attract employers and support service companies, keeping the Bay of Quinte region’s economy strong. While in the region, QEDC took representatives to Nestle and Kellogg, both well-known examples of how the Bay of Quinte has succeeded as a hub for large scale food processing. The tour coincided with more positive news for the Bay of Quinte’s economic future. The Boyd Company added its Bay of
Quinte observations to an independent report for which they’d been collecting data across Ontario. Boyd’s declared Eastern Ontario the lowest cost location for a food processing facility among the 25 top North American regions after conducting an industry study. The QEDC helped local industries contribute to the Boyd Company study. It was the QEDC who made sure local companies like TCS, Kellogg, Reid’s Dairy and Loyalist College contributed to the study. More than 40 business journals and media outlets in the U.S. featured the results bringing even more attention to the Bay of Quinte. “The Bay of Quinte is home to one of the Province’s largest food processing clusters,” explains Chris King QEDC Executive Director. “Touting the Bay of Quinte as a low cost location, Boyd’s recognition puts the Bay of Quinte on the radar of food processors worldwide.” What attracts food processors to the Bay of Quinte? The large cluster of food processing plants already in the Bay of Quinte make it easy to share running costs or choose between key suppliers: from plastics and packaging manufacturers who take care of your food grade packaging requirements to multiple logistics companies coordinating delivery of your fresh, dry, cold or frozen goods all over North America.

10 Top things that you can do to protect you drinking water! Local communities are responsible for protecting their community’s drinking water. Here are some simple steps that you can take on your property to protect everyone’s water supply for today and generations to come: 1. Conserve water. Not only does conserving water help to maintain a constant supply of drinking water, but too little water in a source can mean contaminants are more concentrated, and therefore may be above acceptable levels. 2. Think Before You Flush. Sewer and septic systems are not designed to dispose of anything beyond human waste, toilet paper and wastewater. Any other item, even if it claims to be flushable, should not be flushed down the toilet. 3. Dispose of hazardous waste properly. Take all of your unused paints, cleaners, pesticides, and medical prescriptions to your hazardous waste facility. 4. Use non-toxic products for cleaning. Use environmentally-friendly soaps, shampoos, and personal care products. Remember, what you use in your house goes down the drain and may enter local water supplies. 5. Clean up your pets waste. Pet waste contains nutrients and pathogens that can run into your storm sewers during a rain storm if not cleaned up regularly. 6. prevent pollutant runoff. By reducing or eliminating the use of pesticides, fertilizers, sidewalk salts and by not over-watering your lawn, you can prevent pollutant runoff. If you run an agricultural operation and haven’t already, consider developing a nutrient management plan. 7. Don’t put anything except water down storm drains. These drains carry storm water to our local waterways, without any treatment. 8. Take care when refueling gas tanks. When you are refueling cars, lawn mowers, chainsaw, weed trimmers, tractors, or other machinery, try your best to avoid spilling fuel in the ground. One litre of gas can contaminate a million liters of ground water. 9. Take your car to a commercial car wash. Commercial car washes are designed to prevent pollutant runoff from entering storm water sewers. Use commercial car washes that use water efficient sprays, which also reduces water consumption. 10. Stay informed and be water savvy. Remember what you do on your property does make a difference. Protecting drinking water is everyone’s Responsibility! To find out more visit www.ltc.on.ca
Quinte musicians Northern Voodoo add a second release Belleville - Quinte based musicians, Rett Wills, Mike “Ace” Acerra and Chris Georgiou who make up the talented, powerhouse blues, rhythm and blues and jazz band Northern Voodoo are looking forward to the release of their second CD “Angels and Demons,” Saturday, November 26, at The Old Church Theatre in Johnstown, just north of Trenton. Northern Voodoo play mostly original blues, rhythm and blues and jazz that take the listener beyond the usual ‘classic rock/ tribute’ genre. The trio’s combination of Will’s energetic guitar licks and vocals are backed up by Acerra’s electric, acoustic and stand up base rhythms and Chris’ drumming creates a unique, memorable blend of original material that showcases the years each member
has spent honing their craft. Wills has played solo and in bands in Southeastern Ontario for the past 35 years. Acerra, originally from Toronto, spent time with several well-known rhythm and blues bands and is well versed in blues and rock and roll. James, drummer/percussionist, has played in Canada for over 40 years with many bands including Black Moon from Toronto, and is a founding member of the ‘Tore Down’ blues band. The Old Church Theatre, 940 Bonisteel Rd., in Johnstown, is a beautifully renovated, rural church built in 1876. It provides an unmatched acoustic experience for top notch live music and theatre. The old Methodist church, a Quinte West historical landmark, operated as a place of worship
until 1972. After years of neglect and disrepair it was slated for demolition when local resident Roy Bonisteel, renovated and restored the building in 1994, to create a unique gathering place for the community. Today, owners/hosts Lesley Bonisteel and Brian Weston continue to fulfill Roy’s vision and the vision of those who helped build this church over 140 years ago to provide a place with a sense of community. Oh, yes, and it’s licensed! A selection of Ontario craft beers and local County wines are available. With limited seating, reservations are recommended. This concert/launch is a ‘pass the hat’ event and both CD’s will be Northern Voodoo plays Saturday, November 26, at available for purchase.

Local thespians win big at drama league gical procedure which could spell life or death. Three sisters, designated by the gods to mete out the fates of mere mortals have been instructed to let the lad die. But one sister, hearkening to the mother’s pleas, argues that he should live. Their decision, by the gods’ laws, must be unanimous. There is tension, drama and colourful stage action throughout. The play won four awards: best visual production, to Ian Feltham, Lisa Morris and Alexandra Bell, for their creation of the mythical realities, the Peterborough Theatre adjudicator’s award for excellence in ensemble work for the three sisters, Wendy Roy, Jana Busse and Amber Lucas; the Nancy Chajkowski Memorial Award for best costumes, to Lisa Morris and the Donald Endicott Award for best co-ordinated
BY JACK EVANS
The depth of talent involved in the Belleville Theatre Guild, from playwrights through directors, actors and back stage crew was front and centre at the annual One Act Play Festival and competition, arranged through the Eastern Ontario drama League. Nine theatre companies, from Cobourg through Ottawa took part. The festival was held in Perth Nov. 11 through 13. Belleville’s entry was a fantasy with a moral, called “this Side or the Other,” which won critical acclaim at its world premiere as part of an evening of three one-act plays in The Pinnacle Playhouse in September. It was also a first-time play writing effort by Eric Lucas, only 19. Set in a fantasy world of Greek mythology with spectacular costumes, the play has a young mother praying her heart out to the gods for her son to be restored to health from a critical sur-
production to the entire cast and crew for best use of tech rehearsal and ability to adapt to the new surroundings in The Perth Theatre. To top it off, it also got one of only two nominations for “best production” plus one for best director, Ian Feltham and best actress, Heather Barker. Lucas commented that he remains “overwhelmed at his play’s success up against two separate Norm Foster shows by rival companies.” And the play that ultimately won Best Production was “’The Real Inspector Hound” by Sir Tom Stoppard, a professional British playwright with
awards to his credit. “He’s won every kind of writing award you can think of, including an Oscar,” said Lucas.” I’m just very thankful for being included.” He also praised the creative people who made the costumes and set, helping bring his mystical play to life. “Those visual awards were very well deserved,” he concluded. The load of hardware just adds to a large and growing collection from competitions over many years the Belleville Theatre Guild can boast.

Ever missed and loved by husband of 50 years, Bob, Children, Heather and Robert Granddaughters, Audrey, Amy, Dorraine, Jessica, Melissa, Tracey, Alana and Breanne also 2 Great Granddaughters and one Great Grandson (on the way) and families I’m Free Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free, I’m following paths God made for me. He took my hand. I heard Him call, And turned and bid farewell to all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found my peace… at close of day. And if my parting leaves a void, Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things, I too, will miss. Be not burdened… deep with sorrow. I wish you sunshine for tomorrow. My life’s been full, I’ve savoured much. Good friends, good times… a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief. Don’t lengthen it with undue grief. Lift up your heart… and share with me. God wants me now… He set me free.

Under-the-hood parts help student artists think outside the box BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – When some people see old car parts, they think garbage. But when students at Belleville’s Queen Victoria School see them, they may think about artwork – or repurposing them for creative purposes and diverting them from landfills. This is thanks to an interesting workshop conducted at the school on Wednesday, Nov. 16 by Kingston-based artist Jeff Mann. Queen Vic teacher Paul Geller encouraged Mann to come to the school and deliver his workshop, which shows how old car parts can be used to help make
creative t-shirts. Students put cardboard platforms inside the t-shirts to keep them flat and used a variety of parts – everything from rubber tires to metallic objects found under the hood – as paintbrushes. By the end of the day, dozens of colourful t-shirts, festooned with interesting patterns, were on display in the school’s upstairs hallway. Mann said he was happy to come to the school and get students thinking about both art and the environment in a different way. While he stressed, he’s not “anti-car” he said “the idea that we throw out a million cars a year is crazy to me.”

in those if the night’s still young,” she said. And of course, “you should never borrow money to gamble.” The presentation Ly brings to establishments across Ontario has a wheel with velcro spots that people can throw a ball on. A visitor to the booth can throw the ball at the wheel. They are then asked a true or false question that’s printed underneath the spot that the ball lands on. One of the questions is “Bingo is a game of skill?” That’s false, as no participant has any control over what numbers come up (even if there is some minor skill involved in handling numerous cards at once). Another questions states, “the longer you play the more likely you are to win back your losses?” Again, that’s false, Ly explained, owing to the “house odds.” “The house always has the advantage,” she said. “The longer you play the more likely you are to lose.” Ly said the council’s research shows that about 3.4 per cent of people in Ontario have a “moderate to severe gambling problem.” It’s a little-known fact, she said, considering that people impacted by other addictions, such as those with substance abuse problems, may show their problems in a more visible way. A gambling addiction could impact a person’s life just as negatively, she said, but it could be tougher to detect.

Angels keep me home for the holidays
Joanne Callaghan is just like you and me. She’s a daughter, sister, wife, mother and devoted and loving grandma. She’s also a cancer fighter. Here, in a letter to you, Joanne shares her story of hope and gratitude. Hello: Family is everything to me. I live to make things special for them, especially during the holiday season. This year will be no different, except that I’m fighting cancer. Again. I was first diagnosed with breast cancer twelve years ago. It was a struggle, but with the excellent care I received at BGH, and with my family beside me, I fought the cancer and won. The gifts people gave to make care better at BGH, made me better.
Taking on cancer for the second time, I can tell you that being able to receive care right at home means, you can keep living your life. It means I can keep making crafts and building forts with my grandkids. I can still go for coffee with friends on Tuesday and we can make that big breakfast we’ve always had on Christmas morning. This is the gift you give when you make a donation to the Belleville General Hospital Foundation. Without your donations I might not be home for Christmas. I’ve got my whole family beside me in this fight, but I need you too. Please make a donation to BGH today, and be a Christmas Angel for someone like me who wants to stay home for the holidays.
Donate Today. BGHF.CA/ANGEL
