Truck driver nearly makes an icy plunge in Tweed Tweed – There was a close call Monday on the banks of the Moira River here. On Dec. 5 at 1:20 a.m. officers from Central Hastings OPP were dispatched to a motor vehicle collision involving a tractor trailer on Highway 37 at Sulphide Road in Tweed near the Tim Hortons restaurant. A tractor trailer travelling west on Sulphide Road slid through intersection at Highway 37, struck a guard rail and its cab splashed partially into the Moira River. No injuries were reported. Snowfall contributed to adverse driving conditions, said police. The tractor trailer was towed from the scene without incident, but it was not reported whether a fuel spill had in any away occurred nor if the driver was charged.

BY BILL FREEMAN

Havelock – Smitty’s Christmas Wish is preparing for another season of gift giving. For the fifteenth year, the Smitty’s Wish team will honour the legacy of Bob Smith who carried on a personal Santa mission from the back of an ATV for nearly 20 years until his death. His friends and wife Norma picked up the torch and the tradition has evolved into more than just a Christmas-time venture. Families and especially children have been touched by the giving spirit of the Smitty’s Christmas Wish campaign with donations and contributions coming from multiple sources. Volunteers also visit seniors in HBM and Norwood. It is a seasonal campaign worthy of all the accolades it has reaped over the years but Smitty’s Wish is more than just a Christmas phenomenon, supporting a variety of endeavours throughout the year. “A lot of it is definitely unseen and unknown,” says long-time volunteer Miz Watson who was at the HBM Community Centre where

funding from the organization has helped purchase new youth skates. “This is over and above what Smitty’s is known for at Christmas,” said Watson. “There are things we donate in the village that people wouldn’t know.” “Smitty’s Christmas fund has been terrific,” township parks and recreation manager Doug Hart said. The Havelock Lions and council have also stepped in with the Lions buying additional skates and the township buying 40 brand new hockey helmets. Now the arena has 60 pairs of skates and 45 helmets so youngsters, especially those at the adjacent school, can participate in skating days. “The skating program is back in bore,” said Hart. The school has a free skating day and hockey day once a month and the YMCA also delivers a skating program for children who don’t want to join the larger group. “We’ve got them all skating now. Everybody gets a chance,” said Hart.

Sacha inspires youth with music BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings – It’s been a dream year for Sacha Visagie, one of Canada’s brightest young country singers. The rising star grew up in Warkworth and now lights up stages with her voice and indelible songs. The singer-songwriter was at Hastings Public School and Percy Centennial in Warkworth as part of one of her popular school tour singing songs from her CD Just Like You, a perfect tie-in with anti-bullying week activities. Sticks N Stones, a song off her self-titled debut CD, went viral and won Sacha plenty of attention. Coming off a summer that saw her win the Next Country Music Star talent show and perform on the main stage at the twentyseventh Havelock Country Jamboree, singing and chatting with students keeps her grounded and provides inspiration in its own right. The Montreal native grew up in Warkworth and later moved

to Oshawa; she’s found a nice bridge between the bustling urban world and the small town ambience found in places like Trent Hills. “It’s awesome. It’s probably my favourite thing in everything with music, enlightening the kids with music,” Sacha says of the school gigs. It’s important, she says, to use your talents to serve your communities. “I grew up with music around me and with a passion for it as well. Music is a universal language; it’s something we all understand.” Sacha will release her next single in the New Year along with an album; another trip to Nashville is high on her to-do list and she’ll certainly her song writing alongside some ace collaborators. “I’m anticipating a really productive year,” she says with a big smile. If it matches 2016 all the better. “You wish for it but when it happens you’re speechless.”

Marmora councillor touts environment and school children

Marmora and Lake – “I think we should be leaving something for the children. It’s getting worse and worse. The environment is not getting better,” said Marmora and Lake Councillor Mike Stevens. He is the municipality’s representative on the environmental advisory committee (EAC) and he advised council at their recent meeting that, “The group has grown from 10 to 12 members to now 20 members including teachers, representatives from environmental agencies and conservation authorities. “Our mandate has mostly been dealing with Nayler’s Common (Wetlands and Trails) he told the Central Hastings/ Trent Hills News. The goal now is to get the next generation interested in the outdoors and the environment at a local level. “If you get the kids interested and involved they will bring their parents to say, Nayler’s Common or Riverside Park or any trails. They will get their parents to take them there if you can get the kids to like going outside,” he explained. Councillor Stevens sees his role as that of a facilitator. “What came out of our committee meeting, my take, is we have two differ-

ent roles. One is with the schools where they take a classroom out, sanctioned by the principal or some of it is just free learning, let them ask questions, they will learn a lot and it calms the kids down. They become a lot more confident about going outside. Teamwork means they have to help each other and use their imagination.” The other role he said is to facilitate organizations including Quinte Conservation, Crowe Valley Conservation and O’Hara Mill Homestead and Conservation Area. Quinte Conservation Education Coordinator Maya Navrot said they have been offering outdoor education programs for many years including a summer camp and free creative play activities. “The outdoor learning and free play is not always thinking it has to be in a forest but showing families teachers and community it can be anywhere,” she commented. Rob Lake, the principal at Marmora Senior Public School said he “is very interested to be a part of it.” Advisory committee members include: Gordon Wilkie, Richard Lowery, Vivian Collver, Norma Crofts, Alisa Wood, Judy Jackson.

Tweed – Tweed’s Community Development expressed special praise recently for the YMCA’s pool and camp programs this year. In a year end final report to the committee, Sarah Tokely, Manager of Association Aquatics for the Central East Ontario YMCA reported “many amazing numbers to share with you this summer.” The YMCA was able to employ 13 local youths this summer in their pool and camp programs with 340 youth attending camp, 309 children enrolled in swimming programs, 626 participants in aqua fitness classes and 3,445 participants in family/youth swimming at the Erin Palmateer Pool. Additionally 561 people took advantage of free locally-sponsored swims this summer and 680 school students used

the pool facilities before the school year ended. With financial assistance from the Gateway Community Health Centre, Hastings County Recreation and the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, 40 families in Tweed were able to access YMCA summer programs. “It has been a very impressive summer,” said Tokley. “We far exceeded our goals, reached many more families than in summers past, and we met our financial targets. We could not be happier.”

OPINION

The Gambia: A short billion years “We will win the biggest landslide this country has ever seen,” said The Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh before the small West African country’s recent election, and he had every reason to be conGwynne Dyer fident. Jammeh had been in power for 22 years, and he knew how to run an election. There was not the slightest indication that Jammeh was ready to surrender power. He said he was “proud to be a dictator,” promised to bury the “evil vermin called opposition nine feet deep”, and once declared that he would rule “for one billion years if Allah wills it.” But when the marbles spoke last Friday morning, he had lost the election. In the Gambia, they vote by dropping marbles into different-coloured drums, and when they were all counted an obscure property developer named Adama Barrow had 45 percent of the marbles. Yahya Jammeh had only 36 percent. So he was guilty of over-confidence and poor election management, but nobody imagined that he would actually go quietly. Yet he did. On Friday, Yahya Jammeh went on television and conceded defeat, saying “I want to make it very clear that I will never rule this country without your mandate and I will never cheat.” The astonished head of the electoral commission, Alieu Momar Njie, said: “It’s really unique that someone who has been ruling this country for so long has accepted defeat” – and The Gambia exploded with joy. Jammeh was always erratic, but nobody saw this coming. Africans elsewhere who also have a problem with rulers who overstay their welcome were delighted. “Yahya Jammeh has recognised his defeat! Who would have thought it? There is hope!” said Fred Bauma, the youthful leader of a non-violent pro-democracy movement in the Democratic Republic of Congo. (He has been in detention for the past year.) Hope soared even higher when Angola’s president, Eduardo dos Santos, declared hours after Jammeh conceded defeat that after 38 years in power he will step down next year. Even 92-year-old Robert Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe since 1980, was heard to speak last week about retiring “properly” (although with no date mentioned). Now for the (rather discouraging) small print. Adama Barrow has good intentions,

but many of the ambitious people in the coalition of small opposition parties that Barrow put together may approach their time in power in the spirit of that famous Kenyan phrase “It’s our turn to eat now.” As Lord Acton famously remarked, “Power tends to corrupt.” Eduardo Dos Santos first said he was going to leave the presidency in Angola in 2001, but then it slipped his mind. He seems more genuinely committed to quitting this time, but Angola is a one-party state and he has already announced his successor, defence minister Joao Lourenco. “Absolute power corrupts absolutely,” as Lord Acton added. And Robert Mugabe, who spent a decade in jail while leading the independence struggle and has run Zimbabwe ever since, resorts to violence when challenged politically and has completely destroyed his country’s once promising economy. He may occasionally talk about retiring, but he will hold onto power until he dies. “Great men are almost always bad men,” as Acton concluded. As for the Democratic Republic of Congo, where a presidential election was due this month, President Joseph Kabila has now postponed it until 2018. He has been in power, and his father before him, since 1997, and he has no intention of leaving it now. He just needs more time to rig the next election. Even when elections are not rigged, it is sheer fantasy to believe that the outcomes are determined by voters who carefully considered all the options and chose the one that was best for the community. Most people are far too busy with their own personal lives to give political matters much thought. When they do vote, they tend to be guided by their emotions or by their class, ethic or religious identity. As Beppe Grillo, leader of Italy’s populist Five State Movement, cynically urged Italian voters in the recent referendum: “Vote with your gut” (and not with your brains). Africa is not alone with this problem. Even in older and richer democracies, democratic decision-making is often irrational and sometimes self-destructive. So why bother? Because governments must be changed from time to time if they are not to become completely self-serving, and elections are a better way to change them than military coups or violent revolts. Because democracy requires and strengthens the rule of law. And because of the “wisdom of crowds”: the voters get it right, or at least partly right, more often than any narrower decision-making group.

The proactive approach could really work for once Editorial by Chris Malette Police, mental health, social and education agencies may just be onto something here in the region when it comes to addressing our communities’ most vulnerable and at-risk individuals. Last week in Belleville – but by no means limited to Belleville, as it serves a broad region around the city – a group known as the Hastings County Community Safety and Well Being Committee conducted an example of one of its “situation table” conferences. It’s one of the clearest, most effective examples we’ve seen in years where inter-agency collaboration is applied in real-world instances to make a direct impact on the streets of our cities, towns and villages. Using a simulated case about a man who’d reportedly been sleeping rough in a Tweed park, the 12 members of the committee’s Situation Table determined, after much discussion, that the person was at Acute Elevated Risk. In the scenario, a smaller group was formed, to be led by Centre Hastings OPP’s Lisa Robson, and was expected to meet again and make a plan on how to get the young man the help he needs, should he choose to accept it. It was designed to serve as a graphic example of how the committee can morph into a large or small group to specifically handle individuals or groups at risk in any community in the region. In some cases, police may be the lead agency in moving forward. In others, mental health or addictions workers, in still others, education outreach may be the answer. The idea of a collaborative situation table involving various community groups to help address social needs in the community sprung from a program first begun several years ago in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Community Mobilization Prince Albert (CMPA), also referred to as the “Hub,” is a multi-agency team focused on crime prevention.

The local committee’s Situation Table formed about a year ago and has so far handled about 30 cases. In almost all situations, committee members said, it ended with the at-risk person accepting help from the group of professionals who approached him or her. Not only does the situation table, or Hub Model, work to pinoint help for those in need in the community, it can help reduce crime, as well. In Prince Albert, where it was pioneered, figures show that, from April 2011 to March 2012 (the most recent years cited in a federal report), the CMPA initiative contributed to an overall drop in Prince Albert’s crime rate by 11%, the number of public prosecutions dropped by 12% and emergency room visits declined by 11%. Central Hastings OPP Sgt. Scott Semple said the reason the approach is so successful is that the person needing help often realizes that a whole team of people are reaching out to help them. It could mark the first time in their lives that they realize people truly care about their well-being. “It hits them pretty hard,” he said. “They say ‘people care about me.’ That’s the tipping point.” The premise of the committee is that if representatives from different organizations with the same mandate – to help people – get together and discuss cases they’re concerned about – all the appropriate agencies will eventually know about the problem and a person at risk is less likely to slip through the cracks. This is an example of pro-active policing, front-line advocacy for those acutely at risk and, frankly, where the rubber hits the road from blackboard to practical application for helping those in the community who need it most – before they spiral out of control and become a problem for the police, courts, their families and communities.

Christmas at the Clock Tower BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – Harpist and singer Angelica Ottewill is bringing her music and storytelling abilities to tell tales of joy of the Christmas season at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre here on Sun. Dec. 11 at 2 p.m. Joining her will be storyteller and narrator Betty Bennett, husband John Bennett on guitar and Veronique Kwakkernaat on flute. “The theme is Christmas stories essentially,” said Ottewill. “Some are folk tales, some are true stories.” One of the stories, she noted, dates back to the Second World War when a merchant ship was

contacted by a passenger ship, which was bringing refugees to Canada, and “they were given a spectacular Christmas tree”. Ottewill and Bennett have performed together at many places including Applefest Lodge in Brighton and a performance of “Sadko The Minstrel” a musical story from Russia, at the Peterborough Square, to name a few. “I will be playing the harp at the concert. Betty will be telling the stories and we will be wearing Christmas-themed clothing,” said Ottewill. “I have two traditional folk tales, one from England and one from Germany.” “Our piece de resistance, we

will be ending up with a music storytelling version of The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde, a story intended to be read to children.” “I think the combination of music and stories is very powerful. There’s a kind of synergy that happens . . . Music adds so much drama to the stories,” she concluded. “Christmas at the Clock Tower” is a pay-what-you-can event, ($10 suggested) to cover the cost of renting the centre. Children ages 10 to 15 years are free. There will be refreshments at intermission and the venue is wheelchair accessible.

Light agenda and tone for council’s November meeting

Tweed Festival of Trees continues to grow and enchant BY BRETT MANN

Tweed – This year marks the thirteenth annual staging of Tweed’s Festival of Trees, and the event continues to draw more visitors each year. “We had the busiest Thursday afternoon we’ve ever had,” said Barb Gunning, Chair of the Festival of Trees Committee. She estimated more than 100 people came out on Thursday afternoon alone for the magical display of dozens of beautifully decorated and lighted Christmas trees at the Tweed Agricultural Building. The four day event is sponsored by the two Tweed chapters of the Beta Sigma Phi (International) Sorority. Local community groups, businesses and private individuals purchase, decorate and donate the Christmas trees as well as wreaths and other seasonal decorations. Visitors purchase raffle tickets to win the displays and profits are donated to a wide variety of local youth sports programs. Traditionally the festival holds a wine and cheese party for sponsors on opening night. “It’s sponsored by the Kiwanis, they provide the wine and cheese, and it’s our way of saying ‘thank-you’ to the sponsors who provide the beautiful trees,” Gunning reports. Live musical entertainment adds to the holiday atmosphere. This year about 36 separate musical performances were featured including A Capella Quinte, a choir from Belleville. “They’ve come almost every

year. We had a quartet from A Capella Quinte here earlier … today we had two choirs from Tweed Elementary School, junior and primary divisions. The room was jammed with proud parents and grand parents.” The event requires significant volunteer labour and this year the 8 member organizing committee has a new member, Sarah Slack. “She’s been a really valuable part of this,” notes Gunning. A few new sponsors have also come aboard including Jill Mumby. “She did the outdoor floral arrangements and decorated the pagoda.” The festival aims to keep attendance affordable with a $2 entrance fee, which includes hot apple cider and home baked cookies and treats. Raffle tickets are also inexpensive at $2 each. “Sometimes we have people say ‘that’s such a beautiful tree, you should auction it.’ We say, no, because only a certain portion of the population can afford to pay for one of those beautiful trees. This way, through raffles, everybody has an equal opportunity. When people come in they say it’s such a community event and that’s because everybody can participate.”

Tweed – With a lighter than usual agenda, no public delegations and the absence of two council members, Councillor Flieler and Deputy-Mayor Treanor, Tweed council’s November meeting was briefer than usual. The relaxed tone of the meeting highlighted a characteristic of this council – the respectful and good natured tenor of council meetings. Under the firm but personable direction of Mayor Albert council continues to demonstrate an ability to work together productively in a good humoured and focused manner. With ready and reliable information available from staff, particularly Acting CAO/Clerk Betty Gallagher, council is usually able to come to decisions without prolonged or contentious debate. In her report Mayor Albert noted the various meeting she had attended since October including county as well as local events. She discussed “important changes” coming to the Municipal Election Act and said staff are studying the implications of the appointment of an Integrity Commissioner. Albert also noted the retirement of CounBarb Gunning, (R) Chair of the Festy Warden Rick Phillips and the appointment of Rodney Cooney as new Warden of Hastings County. tival of Trees Committee chats with Councillor DeGenova reported on attending a Stoco Helen Skillen, a Beta Sigma Phi SoLake Stewardship meeting.

Campbellford students, community again show they have warm hearts BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford -- The fourth annual Cold Hands, Warm Hearts event organized by the high school’s Social Justice League yielded two pickup truckloads of non-perishable food items for the local food bank, and a truckload of winter clothing for Campbellford Salvation Army. The Campbellford District High School student group also raised $5,537 for the Salvation Army’s Christmas Kettle campaign, by soliciting donations from passers-by More than 30 CDHS students, most of them members of the Social Jus- at the corner of Bridge and Front tice League, took part in the school’s annual Cold Hands, Warm Event streets from noon to 8:30 p.m. Dec. held Dec. 1 in Campbellford.

John Campbell/Metroland The total includes money raised in lead-up activities held at the high school earlier in the week, such as

the sale of muffins, chili and mac and cheese made by league members. “Over half of our staff came out and supported the event at different periods during the day or the evening,” joining the students at the corner, bringing them treats, and dropping off donations, CDHS guidance facilitator Trish Wood said. “It was wonderful, it was very much a school event.” “CDHS is so proud to give to our community, and it’s a lot of fun, you really get a true sense of community when you’re there with the students,” and people are contributing, “they’re so supportive,” Wood said. It’s “a great Christmas feel-

good story.” The Student Justice League’s 30 members are looking for a new project to undertake in 2017. “Last year we did Diversity Days and we sponsored the refugee family coming over,” Wood said. “Usually it’s a community group that lets us know the need in our area.” “We’ve taken on all sorts of different social causes,” including campaigns in support of abused women and children, she said. “Poverty is one of our major focuses with Cold Hands, Warm Hearts.” That’s what the Social Justice League is all about, reaching out to different groups (and) causes, bringing awareness to them but also to make a difference.”

Be My Guest donates to The Bridge Hospice Campbellford - Giving is a family tradition at Be My Guest Restaurant in Campbellford. On Thanksgiving Day the owners and staff served up more than 400 turkey dinners to benefit The Bridge Hospice. Donations totalled nearly

Plenty of good cheer at Hastings Christmas Fest

Campbellford Legion Branch 103 begins new tradition for students BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – The Campbellford Legion Branch 103 has started a new tradition and it means now giving recognition to a student from Campbellford District High School (CDHS) each year in November. Elizabeth Semlitch, who is in Grade 12 at CDHS, was the bugler who played The Last Post at November’s Remembrance Day service. Nervous but excited to play for the service for the first time, she

carried out her task on Nov. 11 without a hitch. To pay tribute to contribution that day, Don MacMillan, poppy chair and a member of the Legion for 18 years, and Ivan Gamache, first vice president, presented her with a certificate of appreciation “in recognition of services rendered.”

Hastings – There was plenty of good cheer at Hastings Christmas Fest on Dec. 4. The ninth annual festive children’s party at the Hastings Legion attracted over 70 youngsters (doubling 2015) for an afternoon of crafts, pizza and ice cream, face painting, music and visits with Santa Claus. “Community involvement has been great,” said Angie Nestoruk, who took the lead this year, drawing in some new volunteers. “We didn’t know what to expect. We want to build on this,” said Nestoruk. She also supervises the Hastings Ontario Early Years Centre. “I heard that they needed help (and) this is an extension of my own involvement in the community. We’re building a volunteer base and that’s going to help at future events. This is the first time with some of Santa’s new helpers involved.” There were generous donors like the Legion, which supplied the venue and goodie bags; the Water Lily, which provided ice cream; the Municipality of Trent and the Early Years Centre, which provided craft material. Several area residents also chipped in. Campbellford musician Patrick Kelleher and face-painter Tracey Eustache also participated.

Plenty of stories told by old barns, buildings BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings – “History gets me going,” says Donald Armata, the latest artist to bring his work to the Hastings Public Library as part of its ongoing celebration of local art. The Stirling resident and Central Technical Art Institute graduate blends a sharp eye for detail with a sense of mood and tone in work that celebrates history, often local and sometimes gone as buildings get razed and disappear. “A lot of people don’t realize the history we have around here,” he says, noting that this part of eastern Ontario played a significant role exporting produce like cheese and apples to food-scarce Europe during the first and second world wars. “Fortunately around here they haven’t torn down the old buildings and barns,” he adds. As an artist his preferences embrace trains, sailing ships or steamers, old model cars and turn-of-the-twentieth century

Warkworth crowds turn out for Jolly Saint Nick

buildings. “I believe mood is very important in a painting,” Armata says. He achieves this by “contrasting colours in combination with a wide variety of tones and values in a blend of representational and impressionistic styles.” Armata spent 36 years in the art industry and then retired to the Stirling area 18 years ago with his wife. He admires American artists Emile Gruppe and Charles Hawthorne. Much of his time is devoted to oil painting and tracking down local heritage. He jokes that his downstairs studio is more “man mess” than man cave. “I don’t do much modern art; I prefer the tight work and research. I try to get that in the painting,” he says. One of his paintings is now in the permanent collection of the Canadian Society of Marine Artists in Picton.

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Warkworth – Santa Claus made his annual trek to Warkworth Dec. 2 and this year the theme was a Victorian Christmas for the parade that celebrated his visit. “It was another successful evening (and) the weather cooperated,” parade coordinator Sharon Hutchinson said. “The

merchants did very well ... I was very, very pleased.” After the parade, children flocked to the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts to deliver their letters to Santa and receive a bag of goodies. Hutchinson praised the work of parade volunteers and the support provided by six local organizations who

made donations. There were five category winners: best overall – Stapley’s; best theme – Martin Grandel; best commercial – Northumberland Milk Producers; largest group – Warkworth Girl Guides; best decorated animals – Trent Hills Therapy Dogs.

Season's Greetings & Best Wishes For 2017 to All Our Customers, Friends & Families There were approximately 45 floats in the parade. Northumberland Milk Producers, with Austin Pettey and others, two-legged and four-legged, was chosen the best commercial entry.

Talented artist calls Stirling home car if necessary, when she sees something or hears of something she needs to paint or draw. Once, she drove all the way to Montana after seeing an unusual place name on a map, and discovered a ghost town when she arrived. That provided her with plenty of ideas for future works. “I like old stuff,” she said. “A lot of the paintings (of old houses) that I’ve done, the houses are gone now.” Klaver does both regular artwork and tiny miniatures only two or three inches across. “It can be just as time-consuming to paint one of them,” she said, but added that she likes the fact that they take up so little space. “And it’s kind of handy—you can stick your painting in your pocket!” she said. Klaver has exhibited in other locations, including the Parrott Gallery in Belleville, and her art has won awards in juried shows.

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling—The artwork of Kim Klaver, which is on display at the Stirling Art Gallery, proves that a lack of technical training cannot hold back an artist with the talent and desire to create. Klaver, currently a Stirling resident, will paint or draw any subject that catches her eye, from wildlife and scenery to old buildings, abandoned vehicles and portraits of people. She paints in oils in the summer, uses acrylics in the winter and sketches all year long. “I always drew,” she said. “I always had a pencil in my hand. But I didn’t start painting until about 10 years ago.” Klaver never leaves home without at least one sketchbook. She has a tiny one that can be tucked into a pocket and a slightly larger one that she carries or tucks into her purse. Whenever something grabs her attention, out comes one of her sketchbooks so she can record it right away. “I usually do sketches on the spot, and photos for refer- Stirling artist Kim Klaver is never without at least one sketchbook handy. Several of her paintings, drawings ence,” she said. Friends know that she may not arrive when she is expected, and miniatures are on display now at the Stirling Art Gallery, located in the public library building.

Marmora Santa Claus parade bigger than ever BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora – According to the folks that lined the streets of the Santa Claus parade route this year on Sat. Dec. 3, the event was bigger than ever before with lots of marching bands and even elves. The elves were the local Girl Guides who were handing out candy to the youngsters watching the dozen or more decorated floats go by while waiting with anticipation for Santa to appear. Two grandmas, Vera Abraham and Joyce Huff were there with their granddaughter 13-monthold Aurora Abraham, who was bundled up to keep warm on what was a cold day with a chilly wind. Little Aurora was enjoying the parade from the comfort of her stroller.

The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 237 Colour Party was among the marchers which also included: The Rogues of Northumberland Pipe Band, the Marmora Crowe Valley Lions, the local Scouts, Girl Guides, curling club members with their Zamboni, Marmora Senior Public School, even the Marmora and Lake council, staff and families got into the spirit of Christmas, to name a few. The fire department, ambulance personnel and paramedics brought up the rear, escorting Santa Claus in safety. The half-hour parade was described by one spectator as, “The best Santa Claus parade I’ve seen here in a long time.”

French government honours Calling all table tennis players local veteran BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings – Calling all table tennis players. In what will be a first for the Hastings Fieldhouse and possibly all of Trent Hills, an all-ages two division ping pong tourney will be held Dec. 11 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Organized by Dr. Brendan Keogh, the tournament is a chance to test the waters in terms of interest in the sport and to have some old fashioned pre-holiday fun. “I used to like to play it a lot,” Dr. Keogh, an avid tennis player, said. The tournament is divided into under 18 and over 18 divisions with the winners in each taking home $100; second place players get $50. There will also be a trophy. Dr. Keogh hopes that the two divisional winners will test their skills against each other in a friendly

match against each other. With just a $2 entry fee, the tournament is a real bargain. Everybody knows it’s a busy time of the year, Dr. Keogh says but he hopes enough people take a pause and drop into the field house to play some table tennis. If there’s enough interest it could lead the formation of a league, he added. Dr. Keogh plays tennis regularly at the field house and thought it would be a good idea to take advantage of the table tennis tables at the facility which is already a popular destination for local pickle ball players, who held their own tourney there last month. You can register in advance or the day of the event. For more info call 705-696-2255 or contact recreation@trenthills.ca

Final 2016 O’Hara Lottery Winners

Dr. Paul Giuliani D.D.S.

Dental Veneers – Are they right for you? Dental veneers are an exciting dental treatment alternative recommended for teeth that are cracked, chipped, worn, or slightly crooked, and can be used to close unsightly gaps. Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain laminates that cover and transform the front portion and most visible area of your tooth. A single veneer or a set of them is custom made to the exact speciﬁcation of your smile. Along with holding a perfect size and shape, veneers are also made to exactly match the color of your teeth. Within the span of a few days, you can have an entirely new smile and an entirely new look, thanks to this simple procedure.

A special presentation at Christ Church (Anglican) in Campbellford was held recently during which the Consul General of the French government, Marc Trouyet, appointed William Peter Neale to the rank of Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour, the highest French order for military and civil merits.

Thanks to those who supported O’Hara Mill Conservation Area in 2016. Winner of the final $1,000 draw was Terry Murphy, Gayle and Grant Ketcheson second for $500, with Elton Reid, Jan Bruce, Brent Forestell, and George Williams drawn for $105. Seventy-five dollar winners: Lila Booth, Tom Bruce, Genia Wilson, Gerrard and Joanne Forestell,

Jim Brown, Brad Freeman, Richard Brooks, LeaghAnne Lavender, Robert Bush, Shelley Snider, and for $25: Mike Bossio (donated), Janice and Ron Southorn, Donna Love, Brent and Lynda Sexton, Peter Nayler, Rick Phillips, Charles and Mary-Jo Wannamaker, Shea Robson, Marg Smith, Lorne Hauley and Scott Gougeon.

Correction - Stirling garbage collection Stirling - A story last week erred in reporting that the change in garbage pickup days in Stirling-Rawdon - for weeks when Monday is a holiday - had been approved. In fact, the report was received, but the change has not yet been passed by council. We regret the error.

Mayor in cancer battle plans Trump-esque “event” over treatment beef with province BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills – Canadians with pancreatic cancer are following Mayor Hector Macmillan’s example and travelling to Germany for surgery in hopes it will eradicate their tumours. More than 30 of them have let him know they have had the operation, booked it or are there now in Straslund to undergo irreversible electroporation (IRE), Macmillan told council Nov. 15. They became aware of the treatment, which uses highvoltage pulses to attack tumours, because of the widespread media attention given Macmillan’s failed bid to secure outof-country funding from the province for his IRE surgery in Straslund last month. “The word’s getting out there,” he said, that “there is

hope,” and he thanked the media for the role it has played in helping him raise awareness of the issue. Macmillan said one study done outside Canada involving 250 patients at multiple hospitals determined IRE resulted in a median overall survival of 23 additional months. “In my case they were talking five-plus years,” he said. For people with pancreatic cancer who have been given three months to live, choosing to have IRE surgery done that could extend their lives by almost two years is “not a risk, it’s a no-brainer,” he said. “What we’re continuing to track down (is) why are they not jumping on board at the University Health Network,” which has a NanoKnife machine to perform IRE but has used it sparingly while it develops protocols. Calls to UHN have not been returned so “we have a little

event” planned that “will be either very Canadian,” or one that will cause U.S. president-elect Donald Trump to “blush and be jealous of it,” Macmillan said. “Right now I’m just as apt to go one way or the other, it doesn’t matter to me, the outcome will be the same.” Macmillan also disclosed the Ombudsman’s Office is reviewing his request that it investigate the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s rejection of his request and others’ for funding to pay for treatment of pancreatic cancer outside Canada. It’s “premeditated murder,” he has repeatedly alleged. “If they see enough smoke they move forward with a full investigation,” Macmillan said.

Hospice Norwood makes progress despite charity number delay; site for hospice still not named By Bill Freeman Norwood – The process of acquiring a registered charity number is holding back Hospice Norwood’s fundraising launch but hasn’t slowed down the campaign to bring a two-bed rural hospice facility to the village. “Things are looking very positive, we’re probably two years ahead of where we probably thought we’d be at this time,” committee member Laurie Inglis said during a meeting Nov. 29. “The delay is the charity number,” Inglis said. “We want to do it all right. We don’t want to do anything rash.” It’s no secret Hospice Norwood has been offered a property but until they receive a charitable status number they can’t accept “gifts of this nature,” said former Mayor Doug Pearcy. “It’s premature to make an announcement,” said Pearcy. “We definitely can’t accept gifts and services in-kind until we have the number.” “We just can’t say it’s a done deal until it’s a done deal.” The same holds true of a large fundraising launch. “We don’t want

to get off on the wrong foot with the government,” said Pearcy. The potential property has received a “clean bill of health” from a structural engineer, he said. The owner has agreed to hold off until Hospice Norwood is registered. The building committee will assess its feasibility and establish renovation costs. They’ve also learned that the Central East LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) is looking for “expressions of interest” from people interested in establishing hospice beds. The submission deadline is Jan. 6. The LHIN is looking for beds available in 2018 or late 2019. “We’re well-positioned to meet their deadline,” Pearcy said. “It’s not fair to announce (the site) until it’s in our possession and we can’t be in possession of it until we have the charity number,” added Inglis. Hospice Peterborough offers 25 support programs across the city and county and Inglis hopes local residents will sign up for volunteer training so

they can begin to provide hospice services to people in the community facing life-threatening illnesses and their caregivers. “We want to get out and start meeting with folks before we even have a facility.” “(Hospice Peterborough) want to work with us but we don’t know what the partnership is going to look like,” she said. “We’d love to have 25 programs but it’s probably not feasible to have 25 in the community but there are some we’re really thinking very hard about. They’re very supportive.”

Rotary Club Lottery boasts good chances and charity BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford – The lifeblood of a community are its volunteers and the organizations they belong to that channel their energy and dedication into doing good work. The Rotary Club of Campbellford has been a pillar in the town for decades, responsible for the construction of the youth centre in Kennedy Park and the Rotary Trail that loops around the canal. It’s also hands out scholarships, operates a youth exchange program, supports the arts, and contributes to the hospital foundation. To do all this and more it has to generate money in various ways, and the Trip of the Month Club “is by far the Rotary Club’s biggest fundraiser,” says secretary Art Chamberlain. “It’s extremely important to us ... it gives us a chance to support a lot of community programs.” Four hundred tickets are sold for $150 apiece and each month prizes of $2,000, $500, $300 and $200 are given out. “Your ticket is eligible for all of those prizes” every month, no matter if you have already won, Chamberlain said. “Somebody has actually won a couple of prizes in a month, because your number goes back in for each draw, so you’ve got all those opportunities to win.” The $25,000 the club nets is returned to the community in some fashion. “It’s the money we use to support all of our projects ... around town,” Chamber-

lain said. “We give $5,000 a year to the hospital.” When the lottery was first set up, the top prize was actually a trip or cash in lieu of “and we found a lot of people preferred to take the cash,” he said. The name was kept because it was well-known. Rotary has a core group of ticket-buyers but “we’re trying to make more of an outreach this year,” Chamberlain said, “to get the broader message out to the public that the contest is going on and this is what Rotary does, to raise our profile and let people know the things that we do in the community.” Tickets, which can be paid for in installments, are available at Beamish’s Flooring on Doxsee Avenue or by calling Wallace Brown at 705-653-2041. You can also email rotarycampbellford@gmail.com.The first draw will take place the end of January 2017. With the other fundraisers that Rotary holds, it gives back about $60,000 to the community annually. Rotary currently has 25 members and will always welcome more, Chamberlain said. Meetings are held every Monday at Rotary Youth Hall, beginning at 11:45 a.m.

Rotary Club of Campbellford secretary Art Chamberlain says revenue earned from the sale of Trip of the Month Club lottery tickets are “crucial” to the club being able to continue its support of community projects. John Campbell/Metroland

Trent Hills continues its support of Cat Care Initiative

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

R0013515693

Trent Hills – For the third year in a row the municipality will support the Cat Care Initiative (CCI) in its efforts to reduce and manage the local feral cat population. Council voted Nov. 15 to provide $15,000 in 2017, the same amount it gave this year to help pay for spaying and neutering cats.

costs involved in managing their colony,” Kirk said. CCI receives on average two to four calls a day from people who have found or had show up a cat or kitten at their door “and need it gone ‘right away.’” The numbers increase during the breeding season twice a year and “increasingly because of cottagers that leave their cats behind when they return to the city,” Kirk said. CCI has adopted out more than 100 cats and kittens since September 2015. Kirk said the group plans to increase its community presence by moving to a different storefront. The costs of operation at its current location have become “unprecedentedly high” after the rent was doubled without notice and they will further increase with “skyrocketing hydro costs.” Construction on neighbouring buildings has also resulted in traffic to the store plunging by 75 per cent. Kirk said it costs the organization $100 to $150 per animal in its care and CCI loses money on their adoption by charging fees of $75 to $125 in order to remain competitive with other rescue groups or humane societies. Without council’s support the organization would not be able to continue, she said. Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan expressed appreciation for the work CCI is doing. “I’ve noticed a big change ... in the amount of feral cats in the area,” she said. “They’re doing a good job.” “I haven’t seen any strays in my area in quite a while,” Mayor Hector Macmillan said, and driving through town you “don’t see strays like you used to.”

BGH Foundation seeking angels in Tweed BY BRETT MANN

Tweed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jenn Barrett, Director of Development for the Belleville General Hospital Foundation, came to Tweed recently to recruit some local angels to support the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas Angel campaign. Barrett explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the sixth year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the Angel Campaign. Each year we focus on different areas of the hospital that need the support. This year we are focusing on cancer care. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to change peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mindset about what is cancer care. Of course everyone thinks of oncology, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all the other stuff that supports our cancer care as well, our surgery, diagnostic imaging, labs, pharmacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our focus this year is how do we keep our local cancer patients home for the holidays. Part of that is having the best local care as possible so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to travel to Kingston or Toronto or Ottawa to receive their treatments.â&#x20AC;? Barrett notes that BGH does not provide radiation therapy, for example. Until recently BGH did not have â&#x20AC;&#x153;chemo-portsâ&#x20AC;? for chemotherapy. These temporary devices are implanted under the skin and allow doctors to have access to veins to draw blood or provide chemotherapy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now up and running and over 100 people have received ports, saving a trip to Kingston,â&#x20AC;? Barrett reports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two years ago we did not

Pee Wee Hawks dominate Douro Dukes in home game BY BRETT MANN

Tweed – The Tweed Pee Wee C Hawks are on a roll. Fresh from winning the Pembroke Silver Stick Tournament with an impressive final tally of 33 goals to their opponents’ 3, the Hawks easily won a home game against the Douro Dukes 8-1 at the Tweed-Hungerford Arena. The Dukes opened the scoring with their sole goal at about the 10 minute mark of the first period, but the Hawks quickly responded, scoring three goals in the first period and adding five unanswered goals in the next two periods. Hawk’s first period goals were scored by Laine Clement, Heiden Leonard and Andrew Roy. Hard working forward Liam Rogers added to the Hawks total in the second period with Laine Clement and Andrew Roy each hitting the back of the Dukes net for a second time. Kelien Dostaler scored twice in the third

period, putting the game out of reach for Douro. Penalties were few for both teams, four for the Hawks and two for the Dukes. The Dukes proved to be most dangerous when they were able to get in close to the Hawks net, guarded by Tucker McKichan, but the Hawks defense succeeded in breaking up numerous Dukes attacks, while the Dukes had difficulty hanging on to the puck at the Hawks end of the ice. The Dukes’ goalie Adam Crapp fended off many Hawks shots on goal but the outnumbered Dukes (10 players to the Hawks’ 15) were not able to gain the upper hand. Returning from Pembroke with a 2-2 tie against the Norwood Hornets and wins in all their other match-ups, including a convincing 6-1 victory over the top-seeded Mariposa Lightning, the Hawks now advance to the Silver Stick C Finals in Forest Ontario on Tweed’s Pee Wee Hawks, returning to home ice after nearly sweeping the Pembroke SilJanuary 6, a tournament involving both Ca- ver Stick Tournament, kept Douro Dukes goalie Adam Crapp under almost constant atnadian and American teams. tack in a game the Hawks took 8-1.

Division leading Almonte edges Nemesis 4-3

BY BILL FREEMAN

Maxville – It was a heartbreak weekend for the Norwood J.J. Stewart Motors Nemesis. The much-improved club lost a pair of 4-3 nail-biters in Canadian Premier Junior Hockey League action falling to the Glengarry Highlanders in an overtime thriller Dec. 3 in Maxville, then rallying from a 4-1 deficit at home to division leading Almonte (16-3-1) but coming up short in a game they controlled while racking up 51 shots. The night before Norwood (3-171) started strongly taking a 2-1 lead on goals by Garrett Ouellette and Charlie Rice. Glengarry (11-11-3) evened the score midway through the second frame on a powerplay marker with Norwood regaining the lead two minutes later on a powerplay of their own with Brett Holden beating goalie Connor Morris. The two teams played evenly in the third until the CPJHL’s most dangerous scorer Felix Stephen beat Nemesis

goalie Liam Austin to tie the game with 9:45 left. Stephen would ice the game in overtime scoring his thirtyfirst goal of the season. The gifted sniper notched a hat trick the following night running his total to 34. The Highlanders outshot Norwood 47-36. It was more of the same brand of hockey at home for Norwood who came out like gangbusters firing 18 shots on Sharpshooters goalie Zachary Mills in the first period, then adding 19 in the second. Despite that barrage it was Almonte that found the back of the net building up a 4-1 lead with Brett Holden potting the lone Norwood goal. Norwood rebounded in the third on goals by Bryce Smith and Ouellette with assists to Holden and Daniel Bennett. Nemesis buzz: Norwood has a three-game road trip this weekend visiting Glengarry, Ottawa and Almonte before heading to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan for the CPJHL Showcase Dec. 13-15.

Knights Conquer Flames Logan Hall led his Norwood District High School Knights to a 37-12 win over the Campbellford District High School Flames, scoring 17 points in a junior boys’ basketball match played Dec. 2.

Grizzlies traveled to Brighton and came out victorious with a 4-2 win. Owen Meraw-Gilbey scored twice with singles going to Carter Wright and Arsenault. Jacob Heard had 3 assists in the win with a single assist going to Wright. On Dec. 4 the Grizzlies played in Tweed and came up just short in a 5-4 loss. After falling behind 3-0 they came back to take a 4-3 lead only to have Tweed come back and eventually score the winner with 8 seconds remaining. Heard had a goal and 2 assists, Adair had 2 goals, Meraw-Gilbey assisted twice and Arsenault had a goal as well. A shorthanded Ontario Truss & Wall Bantam Grizzlies squad was in action over the weekend. They headed north of 7 Saturday night to take on the Bancroft Jets. It was a low scoring, physical affair with both teams not being able to muster much offence. Veteran goalie Owen McMaster stood on his head, keeping the Jets at bay until halfway through the second period when they finally tallied a powerplay marker to open the scoring. The Jets would add another in the third, on a controversial goal that seemed to be deflected by a high stick but after a quick referee review it was deemed a good goal. That would prove to be the eventual game winner despite an outstanding goal by Colby Laviolette from Treyton Finch with less than a minute left in the game to cut the lead in half. The OTW Grizzlies would fall short losing 2-1. The OTW Grizzlies were back at it the following day, this time heading south of 7 to Baltimore to take on the

Bulldogs. Decimated by injuries and the flu, the shorthanded Grizzlies were able to put in a courageous effort. Unlike the previous night, this game would turn out to be a high scoring affair with each team trading goals early and often. The Grizzlies would light the lamp three times in the first, but seemingly lose their scoring touch in the second and head into the third period trailing 5-3. The intermission did the OTW Grizzlies a world of good, as they came out inspired and would storm back to take the lead 6-5. However, a Bulldogs goal late in the third would finish off the scoring and result in a 6-6 tie. Despite the high scoring affair, Carson Ellis was stellar in net, holding off the Bulldogs attack in the third to allow his team to come back. Karsten Leonard lead the scoring attack with 3 goals, as Treyton Finch, Cameron Forestell and Jacob Kennedy each added singles. Assists would go to Finch, Kobe Dostaler, Ky Graham, Jordan Oliver, Colby Laviolette and Leonard. When asked about their performance over the weekend, coach Ken Dostaler said: “What a gutsy group of kids to come out and not only compete with some really great teams, but to also battle illness and injury speaks volume to their effort and character. It reminds me of a courageous performance I saw back in the spring of 2009 in a tournament in Marmora. Truly outstanding!” The OTW Grizzlies will be back in action Sunday December 11 when they will travel to Douro to take on the Dukes.

Madoc - The Centre Hastings Wine Barrel Midget Grizzlies are the Pembroke Regional Silverstick Midget C Champions. The Grizzlies finished their round robin with a perfect 3-0 record. The semi final game matched them up against the Lakefield Chiefs, and while there were some tense moments, they skated away with a 3-2 victory to send them to the finals to face the undefeated Mariposa Lightning. In the finals the Grizzlies came out on fire scoring in the first 52 seconds to take the early lead and added two more goals to finish the first period with a 3-0 lead. The Grizzlies’ penalty killing units killed off three consecutive Mariposa power plays to start the second period, which included a lengthy 5 on 3 disadvantage. Killing those penalties seemed to energize the team and showed what this team is all about. In a 47 second span each of the three forward lines scored a goal on consecutive shifts, which put a nail in the coffin of the Lightning. The Grizzlies put it in cruise control and skated away 6-1 Silverstick victory. It was a perfect ending to the weekend for the Centre Hastings midget Grizzlies. They ended up with the top five scorers in the tournament which included Brandon Forestell, Liam Stoltz, Brandon Bertrand, Brock Bronson and Daniel Murphy, as well as having the

2ND SECTION

TO YOUR COMMUNITY

Around this table, collaboration and results are key BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – Representatives from about a dozen community agencies came together Wednesday, Nov. 30 and made a plan to make sure a young man teetering on the brink of disaster didn’t fall through the cracks. The man, whose case is fictional, was abusing drugs, suffering from depression, not attending school, robbing stores to meet his needs and sleeping on a skate park bench. The 12 members of the committee’s Situation Table voted unanimously that the person was at Acute Elevated Risk. (That’s an agreed-upon designation for such individuals that indicate, in a word, that his life is spiralling out of control). Yet, Centre Hastings OPP agreed to be the lead agency to handle his case and representatives from three other agencies, covering the fields of housing, addictions and education, also agreed to become involved. This new small group, to be led by Centre Hastings OPP’s Lisa Robson, was expected to meet again and make a plan on how to get the young man the help he needs, should he choose to accept it. The discussion played out in front of a room full of municipal officials, news reporters and special invited guests at the Belleville Fire Department Station 3, as part of the committee’s efforts to raise awareness of their work. Nov. 30 fell in the middle of Crime Prevention Week for the OPP and the theme was Planning Together for Safer Communities. The case being discussed to the

OPP Sgt. Scott Semple speaks with Const. Alana Deubel to the right. Below is Marg Wagner, chair of the Situation Table. Stephen Petrick/Metroland

public obviously had to be fictional, but it represents an example of the type of cases Situation Table members address during their once-a-week meetings. Those involved in the committee all described the Situation Table as a great new strategy to help front-line workers provide services to people in desperate need, before their lives fall apart and they become, perhaps, entangled in the justice system on more dependent on our social system. The Situation Table formed about a year ago and has so far handled about

30 cases. In almost all situations, committee members said, it ended with the person accepting help from the group of professionals who approached him or her. Central Hastings OPP Sgt. Scott Semple said the reason the approach is so successful is that the person needing help often realizes that a whole team of people are reaching out to help them. It could mark the first time in their lives that they realize people truly care about their well-being. “It hits them pretty hard,” he said. “They say ‘people care about me.’

Bayview AutoBody

That’s the tipping point.” The Community Safety and Well Being Committee is overseen by Hastings County, but promotional literature for the committee lists 29 different partners, among them Belleville Police, and OPP detachments in Centre Hastings and Quinte West. Others groups include the Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society, the Sexual Assault Centre, Victim Services and both the public and Catholic school boards. The premise of the committee is that if representatives from different

organizations with the same mandate – to help people – get together and discuss cases they’re concerned about – all the appropriate agencies will eventually know about the problem and a person at risk is less likely to slip through the cracks. It’s about the power of numbers, or as Const. Alana Deubel of Central Hastings OPP said, “no one service can do it alone.” When the committee formed, it was responding to a province-wide trend. There are now more than 50 Situation Tables in different regions of Ontario. At some meeting over the past year, everyone got together and realized there were no new cases to discus, said Chair Marg Wagner. But at other meetings, there were several new cases to discuss. One of the many positives that’s come out of the work, said Carmela Ruberto, a Hastings County representative involved in the committee, is that it’s allowing agencies to collect data about the types of issues police and social workers are dealing with. After just one year, there haven’t been enough cases to draw any broad conclusions, she said, but as more come to the table, the committee will have more statistics to work with – and the could be helpful in applying to grants to help agencies cover emerging issues, such as mental health. For now, however, there’s great satisfaction that people’s lives are being saved. “We’re trying to catch people before they go over that waterfall,” Semple said.

Science Fair already has young minds working Belleville – Sir John A. Macdonald Public School Grade 6 student Kaelea Johnston’s colourful drawing of science and the Earth stood out. Organizers for the Quinte Regional Science and Technology Fair felt that it was perfect for representing how science affects the entire planet. The poster contest was open to junior, intermediate and high school students (Grades 4 to 12). For finishing in first-place in the poster category, Kaelea received a pair of Sony XB600 headphones, provided by Red Ball Radio. The Quinte Regional Science and Technology Fair thanked her with a surprise visit to her classroom to present the prize. “The poster is a kid expressing her wonder at the world and everything that there is to discover,” Kaelea said. “Science is helpful. You know, doctors use science to discover cures and stuff. Without science there is a lot of stuff we wouldn’t be able to do.” Kaelea’s favourite science area is Meteorology.

The poster also notes that this year’s science fair will mark the 57th annual science fair for our area. It takes place on April 1 at Loyalist College and the event will celebrate the achievements of the young scientists in the Quinte area. The general public is invited to come out and view the projects on display between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. on that day. This event presents a stepping stone for future scientists and a chance for students in Grades 7-12 to win a spot to compete at the Canada-wide Science Festival in May, where prizes for the winners total almost $1 million. The Quinte Regional Science and Technology Fair believes that science is an important part of our society, which is becoming more and more dependent on technology. If you wish to volunteer as a judge, committee member, help out on the day of the fair or are a school wishing to support the fair, contact organizers at qrstf@ live.ca.

Quinte Health Care is in the black BY JACK EVANS

Despite a swarm of negative publicity, the local hospital cosporation has been in the black and continues to be, say officials. In his report on financial statements to the Quinte Health Care Board in Picton last Tuesday, David MacKinnon announced that the board now has a current surplus of $400,000 and with new payments committed by the Ontario Ministry of Health, that should be well over $1 million by the end of its business year. He also credited a good part of the surplus to extra vigilance and better management by hospital administration and staff. Despite ongoing conflicts with advocacy groups over the future of hospitals in Trenton and Picton, the hospital corporation has, it was noted, had a balanced budget for the past several years. While inspiring enthusiasm and relief from fellow board members, MacKinnon cautioned that the new situation is “a reprieve, but not a deliverance.” He cited the lack of a new federal-provincial government health care policy as a probable future uncertainty, plus greatly increased admissions and service demands not just for Quinte Health Care, but for hospitals across Ontario. That was noted in earlier reports. He urged the board to maintain the funds for reserve operations in the future rather than for any capital expenditures. He also assured the board that most of the

surplus will in fact belong to the hospital corporation and need not be returned to government coffers. Board member Olida Hoye suggested using some of the surplus for needed capital expenditures, but MacKinnon reiterated his earlier warning to sock away cash to cover what is expected to be leaner times for funding from federal and provincial sources. His report was received and adopted without further discussion.

Curmudgeon! Who, me?

The Good Earth:

Dan Clost

It’s Grey Tuesday here at the Clost Household. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are in the books; as is Thanksgiving- the American one, that is. This means commerce has December in its sights. I have a silly little game that I play every year: the first retail outlet which airs a television commercial with a Christmas theme is shunned for the remainder of the month. I’m sort of surprised that the marketing boffins haven’t decided on a colour or theme for everyday of the month and promoted each one as the busiest sales day of the year. Heck, why not pick just one colour- perhaps green as in greenbacks- and assign one day a week for the entire year as Green Christmas Dollar Days or some such? There’s potential for “Greenies” to become the greatest Christmas sales promotion EVER! Don’t get me wrong, I love the traditions and activities that are associ-

ated with Christmas as long as they don’t detract from the real purpose of the day. I’m also quite happy if nonChristians use this time to promote peace and good will. As a youngster, Christmas tree day was exciting. It meant Christmas was less than 7 sleeps away, if not sooner. Jan 2nd was out-the-door day unless the special visitors were still expected. These days folks are setting up the tree in the first week of December if not sooner. Perhaps they enjoy the quality of freshness in the air; a curmudgeon would describe it this way, “The air is redolent with the stench of rotting tree carcasses.” (Long-time Gentle Readers have seen that phrase 17 times now.) Bottom line, Christmas greens are in the house for longer periods of time and which can pose a hazard if they dry out. Fortunately, there are a few easy steps to help them last longer, appear fresh and not set your house on

fire. Trees are harvested some time in advance and, just like we do with a small wound, they seal up their cut with gummy sap which helps retain moisture, but some still leaves through the needles. I am constantly surprised at how many tree purchasers are not aware of the need for providing fresh water and how to do it. If you can, here’s a plan of action for you. The day before bringing the tree inside, make a fresh cut on the base and set the tree into a bucket of water. Then, just before bringing it inside, tap the butt firmly on a hard surface which will knock off old needles- better on the driveway then your living room carpet. You might be dismayed as to how many needles are now on the ground-even from a Fraser Fir- but don’t worry, it’s the fresh ones still on the branches that are important. Once the hydrated tree is set up inside, check the water level in the stand dai-

ly. If you want to add stuff to the water, e.g. aspirin, 7-Up, a copper penny, go ahead. You’ll feel better and tree won’t care. Greens can have their indoor life extended in a similar manner. Once you get them home, let them soak overnight in a tub of water. The next day, let them dry completely and then spray with an anti-desiccant. The most popular and readily available product is Wilt-Pruf. It is a natural organic product and it works. However, when it dries the protective film is difficult to remove- kerosene being the prescribed agent for dissolving. So, if you decide to use this product, spray the green things when they’re still outside. When the season is over, don’t just haul the greenery away to the curb. Use the branches as winter mulch in your gardens to protect shallow-rooted plants, e.g. cedars and rhodos, from the spring freeze-thaw cycles. Happy humbug to you all.

QHC has early change of command BY JACK EVANS

Picton – Quinte Health Care will have a new board chair effective Dec. 1 with the earlier-than-expected retirement of Tricia Anderson. Anderson had signalled her intention to step down early because of family and career pressures in recent weeks. At the board’s meeting last Tuesday in Picton, she turned the gavel over to vicechair Doug McGregor. Anderson’s service to the board and the health agency drew high praise from her successor and other officials. A member of the board for the past seven years, she

has served with diligence and effectiveness, speakers proclaimed. Mary Clare Egberts noted that Ms Anderson not only argued for the welfare of patients consistently, but also for the satisfaction of the board’s many communities. She said that is a spin that the board should continue. Anderson also drew high praise from McGregor and received recognition gifts.

QHC vice-chair Doug McGregor comments on the excellent service of Tricia Anderson at her final meeting as chair last Tuesday. McGregor takes over as chair as of Dec. 1. Jack Evans/Metroland

The resurgence and revitalization of Chattanooga, Tennessee

BY JOHN M. SMITH

A view of the Sky Bridge in Chattanooga’s Rock City Gardens. John M. Smith/Metroland

Arguably the most important of these attractions for the resurgence and revitalization of this city was the opening of its Tennessee Aquarium in 1992. This particular attraction, the world’s largest freshwater aquarium, certainly helped to put this destination ‘on the map’ and get tourists to come. As in the film “Field of Dreams”, these visionaries had assumed that if they built it (the aquarium), they (the tourists) would come – and they did. It’s considered to be one of the top aquariums in the nation, and it also has one of the rarest and most advanced digital laser projection systems in its IMAX 3D Theatre. It’s quite a viewing experience! Other worthwhile Chattanooga tourist attractions include the childfriendly Creative Discovery Museum (a hands-on children’s museum), the stunning Hunter Museum of American Art (showcasing a great collection of art), the unique International Towing& Recovery Museum (where I discovered that several Canadian tow truck drivers are listed in their Hall of Fame), and High Point Climbing and Fitness (which offers challeng-

ing rock climbing opportunities both indoors and outside). I also enjoyed the Chattanooga Choo Choo (where the old train station has been con-

verted into a very unique resort that even offers Victorian train car lodging), the Tennessee Valley Railroad (that offers a short, family-friendly excursion on an old steam engine, including a journey through the preCivil War Missionary Ridge Tunnel and the witnessing of the engine on a turntable), and a cruise on the Tennessee River (aboard the Southern Belle Riverboat). On nearby Lookout Mountain, the Battles of Chattanooga Museum depicts the city’s Civil War history. I was also able to enjoy Rock City Gardens, with its twisting footpaths that took me through massive ancient rock formations to a panoramic view (from Lover’s Leap) of several surrounding states. Furthermore, I descended, via an elevator, deep inside the mountain itself, where I enjoyed the viewing of a thundering underground waterfall: Ruby Falls. C h at t a n o o g a is also said to be the home of the fastest and least expensive Gigabit

Ruby Falls is located underground, in the depths of Lookout Mountain.

Chattanooga, Tennessee once prospered as an industrial city, but many of the resultant industrial pollutants were trapped in this river valley, and this eventually led to some very serious environmental issues. Indeed, by the 1960s, renowned broadcast journalist Walter Cronkite gloomily referred to Chattanooga as “the dirtiest city in America”. This particular destination was also plagued by serious socioeconomic challenges at this time, including job layoffs because of de-industrialization, racial tensions, declining population, and a deteriorating city infrastructure. However, a group of concerned citizens stepped in and created “Chattanooga Venture”, a multi-racial organization that was determined to improve the situation by setting up a series of specific community goals – and reaching them. When these goals were met, others were created and, over time, also achieved. One particular example of this change for the better can be found on Ninth Street, known to the locals as “The Big Nine”, for this was a rather rough ghetto area until about 1980. Its name was then changed to Martin Luther King Boulevard, and the area underwent a major renovation and upgrade. I discovered that there were many locally-owned businesses, art and cultural institutions, and churches in this area now. I particularly enjoyed checking out the Martin Luther King Mural and the Bessie Smith Cultural Centre. Another transformed area that I recently visited in Chattanooga was its Bluff View Art District. It’s located atop a high bluff and overlooks the Tennessee River, and it features several enticing restaurants, gardens, museums, and galleries. While there, I strolled through a park where artists were creating sculptures before my very eyes. Yet other areas of the city were cleaned up and refurbished as well, and the riverfront was turned into an attraction of its own, complete with beautiful landscaping and a paved recreational path: the Chattanooga Riverwalk (where I, of course, did some enjoyable cycling). Even the city’s rather decrepit Walnut Creek Bridge, which was closed to motor vehicle traffic back in the 1970s, has now been transformed into a popular, photo-worthy pedestrian bridge. These changes to Chattanooga were so dramatic and so incredible that it’s now referred to as “The Scenic City”, and it’s one of the South’s top travel destinations. Tucked between the mountains of Southeast Tennessee, and next to the Tennessee River, Chattanooga is now home to many delectable restaurants, live events, entertaining festivals, and a plethora of awesome attractions.

This simply serves as one more reminder, to me, of this city’s resurgence and revitalization. The city’s fleet of free electric shuttle buses, that traverse the revamped downtown core, offers the visitor yet another opportunity to view both Chattanooga’s new, modern, towering skyscrapers and its many renovated historical buildings. I also discovered that this city, in 2017, will be the first to offer four Ironman events, including the World Championships. Indeed, Chattanooga is a ‘happening’ place.

Provided they can confirm that is what they would normally sell for, or that due to the rarity, that is what it may cost to replace them. But Shropshires are not much in demand, so they often sell for around $400.

and (sheep owner Montana) had not registered one sheep in five years. I fail to understand how you are ‘preserving valuable heritage bloodlines’ without registering when it only costs us $10 each to do so. Very affordable. Either way, CFIA still offered her $825 each as compensation. ($25,575!!) Still, nothing to sneeze at!! Plenty to help her source and purchase an RR Ram and compensate her for her loss, especially since none were even registered. … So, knowing the whole story puts it into a totally different light. I don’t have sympathy for her in any way. She could have avoided all of it, by cooperating with CFIA, getting her compensation, buying an RR Ram, and keeping the offspring to start anew with when the 31 were put

Myth: We have lots of water in Ontario – so there’s nothing to worry about. Fact: We are surrounded by water so we think we have an unlimited supply. But, in reality, we don’t. The drinking water we take from lakes, rivers, streams and underground aquifers must always be replenished through an endless cycle of evaporation, rain and percolation. No new water is produced – it’s just recycled year after year. When we take water from our sources faster than it can replenish itself, we face shortages and experience water bans. If we continue to take more than nature can supply, we will face serious, long-term water supply problems. Almost one third of municipalities in Ontario operating reported water shortages over the past ten years and this number is increasing. Pressures on our water supplies include drought, equipment problems and increased usage due to growing populations. We need to be aware of how much water we are taking out of the system right now, so we have enough for later. In 2016, during an 8-month period from April to November, the region has received only 65% of normal rainfall. This has led to wide spread water shortages in rural areas with homeowners and farmers still dealing with dry wells. Remember what you do on your property does make a difference. Protecting drinking water is everyone’s responsibility! To find out more visit us at www.ltc.on.ca

Sheep farmer will seek compensation over losses in legal battle BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills – Montana Jones, the Hastings-area farmer who fought and won a prolonged legal battle with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) who insisted her sheep had scrapie, says she will seek compensation for the losses she has suffered. “I have had a seven-year detour of my life goals (which) has severely impacted me and the farm and my friends and family, so I absolutely will be doing that,” she said in an interview Dec. 4. It could mean filing a lawsuit, “because I’m not confident that they will do the right thing and offer me compensation,” she said. Jones was charged with five offences under the Health of Animals Act and one count under the Criminal Code of conspiring with raw milk crusader Michael Schmidt to prevent the slaughter of 31 Shropshire sheep by having them removed from her farm hours before they were to be picked up by the CFIA in April, 2012 to be killed and tested for scrapie. The animals were later found on a farm elsewhere in Ontario and subsequently euthanized. Biopsies showed none had the fatal brain disease that affects the nervous systems of sheep and goats. All the charges against Jones and Schmidt were stayed last week by Justice Laura Bird who ruled “their right to be tried within a reasonable time” had been “infringed.” She said their ability to fully defend themselves had “been negatively impacted by the lengthy delay in the proceedings” caused in large part by the Crown failing to disclose vital information in a timely manner. Bird estimated the delay would have added up to almost four-and-ahalf years from the time information was sworn against the pair to when their trial, scheduled for April 2017, was completed in late May. “This length of time ... significantly exceeds the 30 month ceiling established by the Supreme Court of Canada,” she said. The Crown has 30 days to appeal the ruling. The CFIA had not replied by press time what it planned to do. Jones said she felt “incredible relief ” when Bird delivered her ruling Nov. 28 in Superior Court of Justice in Newmarket. The compensation she will be seeking for the value of the rare breed of sheep that were destroyed will “not be anywhere near close” to what she has lost, which has been more than just money. She “suffered and (is) still working through ... severe depression,” Jones said. ‘I’ve only been surviving through the support of friends and donations and that’s it,” she said. “There is a GoFundMe site (www.gofundme. com/farmedanddangerous), and it has really helped me scrape by from month to month.” She still has “massive expenses” related to her farm, which remains

under quarantine, as well as legal bills, although “the majority” of the work done by her lawyers was “paid by donations raised by the Canadian Constitution Foundation.” “I don’t know where I would be today without them,” she said. “They have been such a great support.” She estimated more than 100 sheep were killed by the CFIA over the years in pursuit of its suspicion that a sheep she sold to an Alberta farmer years ago had scrapie. None ever tested positive for the disease. Bird cited an email written by one CFIA investigator who raised concerns about the “integrity of positive example attributed” to Jones’s sheep and he concluded “that reasonable and probable grounds did not exist” that it was responsible for the scrapie. Jones said the agency has “an important role” to play but the people it hires “are not up to the standards that we need them to be.” “I’ve seen them make huge, bungling errors every step of the way in this,” Jones said. She, Schmidt and their lawyer Shawn Buckley “were looking forward” to having the matter go to trial and “there is a bit of a disappointment” that it won’t be. “We did not want this swept under the rug,” Jones said. “Part of me suspects the CFIA dragged it on so long so that it would get thrown out because the information we uncovered would have come to light” and embarrassed the agency. Jones said the way the CFIA goes about trying to eradicate scrapie is “so wrong it has to change.”

Montana Jones said she felt “incredible relief” when Justice Laura Bird stayed charges against the Hastings-area farmer, ruling her right to be tried within a reasonable time had been “infringed.” The Newmarket courtroom was filled with friends and supporters and “everybody stood up and applauded, it was just wonderful,” Jones said.

Fixed Fur Life founder, Darlene Quinsey, named an Ontario Good Citizen BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – The Ontario government has fixed a problem – the lack of recognition for Darlene Quinsey for the outstanding work she does with Fixed Fur Life. The Belleville woman was recently awarded Ontario’s Medal for Good Citizenship. She and 19 other Ontario citizens were invited to a ceremony at Queen’s Park on Thursday, Dec. 1 to receive the award. Quinsey founded Fixed Fur Life in 2004. The charity works to reduce the number of stray animals by funding sterilization surgery. This past year it has fixed about 1,900 animals and the organization just recently reached its milestone of fixing 20,000 animals since its incep-

tion. Quinsey said she had no idea she had been nominated for the award, so when she was informed about it, it was quite a surprise. But she was happy to accept the award, especially if it raises the profile of Fixed Fur Live. “It’s very humbling,” she said. “I never expected to receive something like this. The charity is something I put my heart and soul into.” Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Quinsey is that running Fixed Fur Life is not her actual job. She works full time as a Registered Nurse at Hastings Manor. Yet, when not filling her employment duties she spends countless hours working for the charity, by hosting or plan-

ning fundraisers or co-ordinating work with associated families. Fixed Fur Life has 46 foster homes, with people willing to take in stray animals, and four adoption centres, where cats that have come into the charity’s care can be adopted from. They are the Pet Value stores in Trenton and Belleville and Little Stinkers and Global Pet Foods in Belleville. Quinsey said the reason Fixed Fur Life has been successful is that the charity’s costs are low, since it’s run strictly but volunteers and doesn’t operate a shelter. “We don’t pay for anything other than veterinary services,” she said. The work can be exhausting for Quinsey. She often works the mid-

night shift at the Manor and leaves at 7 a.m., only to begin working for the charity. But she says there’s a “personal satisfaction” that comes from doing the work. Obviously, it comes from a deep love for animals and knowing that she’s doing much needed work to make life better for animals. She said she was inspired to start Fixed Fur Life after attending a conference in Windsor, Ont. around 2004. It was billed as the “First Canadian No Kill Conference” and it was led by a team of American veterinarians, who spoke to the audience about work being done in the U.S. to avoid euthanasia. Since starting the organization, Quinsey has learned there are many people in the Belleville area who have the same love for animals and they contribute to cause, by either donating money

Country star Lee Brice will rock Havelock BY BILL FREEMAN

Havelock – Million selling chart-topper Lee Brice is on his way to the 27th Havelock Country Jamboree. Brice can write songs like few others can, and does, for himself and for others. The Jamboree just announced that the South Carolina native will rock the famous twin stages this summer, a bit of preChristmas news that’s sure to get country fans thinking of warm August nights and party time in Havelock. Also confirmed (with much more to come) for the four-day festival are Canadian star Aaron Pritchett, fast-rising American performer Justin Moore, The Good Brothers, American actress and newly-minted country singer Jana Kramer, Bowmanville dynamo Meaghan Patrick, Abby Stewart, Western Swing Authority, Jordy Jackson and outlaw country favourites Confederate Railroad. Brice is the full package writing number one hits for Garth Brooks, the Eli Young Band and watching his own singles I Don’t

Dance, A Woman Like You, I Drive Your Truck and Hard to Love top the charts. I Don’t Dance was a monster hit selling more than one million copies and Brooks’ recording of More Than a Memory was the first single in the history of Billboard’s Hot Country Songs to debut at number one. Mega performers like Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney and Blake Shelton have all recorded Brice songs. Brice’s single I Drive Your Truck picked up Grammy Award nominations in 2014 for best solo country performance and best country song losing out to Kacey Musgraves’s Merry Go Round and Darius Rucker’s Wagon Wheel, some pretty fair company. Pritchett, with four Canadian Country Music Association Awards on the shelf, has headlined the Jamboree before and is touring behind his latest album The Score. The Jamboree is running a special ticket offer until Dec. 31. For information call 1-800-539-3353.

Campbellford hospital receives $136,900 from the province BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford - Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi has announced new provincial investment this year to improve access to care and reduce the length of hospital stays for patients and families. In a statement, Rinaldi said that Ontario is improving access to care in Northumberland-Quinte West, helping to reduce wait times and support increased access to services that patients and families rely on. The investment in health care includes Campbellford Memorial Hospital receiving $136,900, Northumberland Hills Hospital receiving $ 916,700, and the Quinte

Health Care Corporation receiving $1,827,100. Recently announced in the 2016 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review, the new investment from the province ensures that all public hospitals in Ontario have received, at a minimum, a two per cent increase to their base funding this year. Additional funding has been provided to hospitals to support population growth and changing health care needs in their communities. “This important funding increase for the hospitals across my riding means that patients and their families continue to get the best care possible as close to home as possible. Since first being

elected it has always been a key priority for me to ensure that I advocated as strongly as I could for our local hospitals and today’s announcement continues that legacy of advocacy,” stated Rinaldi. In the release it was noted that improving access to hospital services is part of the government’s plan to build a better Ontario through its Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care, which provides patients with faster access to the right care, better home and community care, the information they need to live healthy, and a health care system that is sustainable for generations to come.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

BY JACK EVANS

Hospital use trending upward

Picton– Quinte Health Care is seriously studying increasing the number of beds in the future following a trend over last summer and still continuing for a “surge in the demand for all hospital services, both for admissions and emergency care.” There are no immediately identifiable reasons for the sharp increase, but an aging population is suspected as the main cause, officials told the November board meeting last Tuesday. The situation has also impacted staffing needs, with extra staff being actively recruited. The board was also told that the situation is not unique to Quinte Health Care and its four hospitals, but is being experienced by hospitals across Ontario. President and CEO Mary Clare Egberts also reported on many recent changes in the Belleville General Hospital emergency department, including a new central location for the triage nurse and the department

divided into three colour-coded zones – red, yellow and green “to better co-ordinate care based on patient acuity. The goal is to have most patients go right into the department, rather than the waiting room,” she explained in her report. She added: “Early results show the changes are leading to a reduction in the number of patients leaving the emergency department before they are seen by a physician.” She registered the hospital’s concern for such incidents, not wanting people to be leaving before they are properly treated. She also reviewed a visit to the complex by Anthony Dale, president and CEO of the Ontario Hospital Association. The visit included an informative and useful 90-minute meeting and a tour of both Trenton and Picton hospitals, encouraged by the publicity attendant on the two locations.

The good old double-dip Dear Editor, You had to love Editor Chris Malette’s December 1 editorial “Déjà vu for Tories in Choosing Kramp.” Daryl Kramp’s “comeback” in attaining the Progressive Conservative nomination in the new provincial riding of Hastings, Lennox and Addington is rather curious. After having served the local public with admittedly some distinction in Ottawa as a Federal MP for over 11 years, why would he want to submit to another 4-5 years as an MPP ? Perhaps he needs the $120,000 plus salary as a MPP to offset his pittance of a Federal MP pension of about $70,000

plus annually for life. Maybe he didn’t save any of the $1,000,000 or so he got from Dalton McGuinty as compensation for closing his restaurant to accommodate diverting Highway 62. Never happened, did it? Or as Mr. Malette hints, perhaps Mr. Kramp wants the riding so he can hand it over to a younger family member after a term. Mr. Malette also points out that Mr. Kramp is not the only defeated federal Conservative planning on running for the Progressive Conservatives in the next Ontario election. Although all losers in 2015 federally, this “comeback gang” of

a half dozen or so, should stand to have a great chance in winning provincially against the unpopular Liberals. However the real losers after the next Ontario election won’t be the Liberals. It will be the Ontario taxpayers who will be not only paying this “comeback gang” a decent MPP salary, that will be enhanced by a pretty healthy Federal MP pension for life. Isn’t that’s sort of like the ice cream cones that we got as kids? We called it a double-dip! Vern Whalen Belleville

Apiarist, racehorse breeder takes a sweet win at Royal Winter Fair BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – “It’s unbelievable,” said Garry Parr who is buzzed about defying the odds to win Reserve Grand Champion for his white honey entry at this year’s Royal Winter Fair. Events of the summer were stacked against him, including a drought, losing a Queen bee, and more, but this win took the sting out of all the hard work and dedication that led to his second time at the winner’s podium. Last year he and his wife Brianna, first year beekeepers, accepted the Grand Champion award for their liquid honey along with four other awards. “We weren’t sure how everything was going to go what with dry weather and drought,” said Parr. Plus the heat didn’t help. “It was so hot for the bees they would be outside the hives at night.” He also knew when he “cracked the top of the hive the bees were angry without their queen . . . They get very loud, about five times as loud as they should be . . . and there were very aggressive.”

Another Queen was introduced slowly and the bees were good to go again. “We got 96 out of 100 on the points card on the white honey,” said Parr. Their entry of golden honey placed second and a dark honey received 1st in its class. “If you put your heart into everything your dedication always pays off. Just set that goal and keep going for it. Never give up.” The honey is available at Styles by Tanya, “my sister gets her hair done there.” This year for the first time they are also selling beeswax candles from the champion honey. Parr and his wife Brianne are the same couple featured in 2013 when their 17-year-old mare, Big News, had a foal, which they named Big Baby Slew. The mare’s father is famous Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew and mother is Spilled Beans, another Triple Crown favourite Secretariat, making for a strong bloodline for the new foal. This filly is currently training in Kentucky at Churchill Downs.

Lived on in the hearts of his wife Flo, his sons Frank (Butch), Richard, and David, his daughter MariAnn and the hearts of his grandchildren. We all love and miss you every day Pop!

Poverty Roundtable seeks to find solutions for Hastings and Prince Edward counties BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Belleville — People not experiencing poverty may think it is someone else’s problem, but those attending the Poverty Roundtable in Belleville on Wednesday, Nov. 23, know that’s not true. “We are all very few paycheques from the poverty line,” said Poverty Roundtable chair Brandi Hodge to approximately 40 people who attended the event at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre. Christine Durant from the Poverty Roundtable said people need to realize that poverty creates barriers, so people need to get rid of the idea of “us” versus “them.” “Being in poverty is more than just low income — it’s crisis, it’s stress,” Durant said. And, she said, those most impacted by poverty need to be part of the solution, and asked what their opinions are. “We need to rethink everything,” she said. Bob Cottrell is on the Roundtable’s Employment and Income Security Work Group. He said the concept of a basic income will be of special benefit for people

ages 18 to 30 and 55 to 64 as they tend to be the ones who need help the most. He said many in those groups are employed, but still face challenges. “We believe there are interesting ideas within the basic income (plan) for those two groups,” he said. Hodge said that Ontario has the worst youth unemployment in the country, and in Ontario, Hastings/Prince Edward has nearly double the provincial average for youth unemployment, making this a very serious issue locally. Food security is another issue here, said Ruth Ingersoll, noting that this problem is much worse in these two counties than in Ontario overall and that people are going hungry. The meeting split into groups to consider eight different issues and suggest approaches to deal with them. The results will be tabulated and discussed at the January meeting. The group then will prepare input to the federal government’s National Poverty Reduction Strategy Consultations.

Ruth Ingersoll led one of the discussion groups during the Nov. 23 meeting of the Hastings/Prince Edward Poverty Roundtable held at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre. Terry McNamee/Metroland

Tory riding association already making plans BY SUE DICKENS

Hastings Lennox and Addington – The Tory riding of Hastings Lennox and Addington has just chosen its candidate for the 2018 provincial election and already the association is making plans. President Nick Drakich told the Central Hastings/Trent Hills News, following the tally of the votes by delegates at the nomination convention in Tweed on Sat. Nov. 26, that “a planning meeting with the executive is coming up early next week to plan general meetings for the association events.” Winning candidate Daryl Kramp will be joined by fellow nominees Tracy McGibbon and John O’Donnell on the board of the association and according to Drakich, “they will be instrumental in all the activities from here on.” For Drakich it’s all part of the democratic process. “We have to have organizations and venues for people to be able to have their input, to have an influence on how they are governed,” he noted. “We’re glad we’ve got good participation (700 of the 1,000 members voted at the nomination convention) and we’re hoping to increase that.” Drakich added, “You can’t have democracy without people. The big thing with democracy is it’s the most just system but the most cumbersome system trying to involve all the people.”

Nick Drakich, president of the Tory riding of Hastings Lennox and Addington said the executive is already making plans following the selection of its candidate at the nomination convention held in Tweed on Nov. 26. Sue Dickens/Metroland

For Drakich the next steps the association must take will be to motivate people. “The average person is not political. There’s less than two per cent that are members of political parties. We have to make it so people are comfortable discussing the issues and be able to pool their understanding and come up with resolution applicable to everyone that will benefit everyone. . . .It’s not easy.” Moving forward, he noted, “We want to focus our energies on being efficient and bringing Ontario back to being prosperous.”
