Tropical birds stolen from Brighton aviary BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – After the theft of 45 tropical birds from his business, Cindergirls Inc., owner Dorne Wilson says he’s struggling and left feeling “very disheartened.” “I never thought this could happen, not in the nice small town of Brighton,” said Wilson. Wilson bought the former Wain’s greenhouse and garden centre property on Ontario Street last year. For months now, he’s been working at building an aviary on the property to house tropical birds. “This is something I wanted to do for the community, just for the joy it would bring,” said Wilson. Northumberland OPP Constable Steve Bates has confirmed there is an ongoing investigation into the theft of what was initially believed to have been 30 birds from the business. Bates said police were informed of the stolen birds on Oct. 13. The theft is suspected to have occurred sometime during the night of Oct. 11 and into the early morning hours of Oct. 12. Since his initial report to police, Wilson said he’s confirmed more birds were stolen, pushing the total to 45. It was only during the days following the break-in, Wilson said he slowly began to realize several more breeds and birds were missing. He’s left feeling pretty low and mostly in disbelief someone could do this, he said. “I’m really struggling with this, wondering why I should

even bother to continue – all of this is just very disheartening and all so someone can make a few bucks,” said Wilson. Since the break-in, Wilson’s relocated his remaining birds, as he no longer feels it safe currently to have them housed in Brighton. He’s afraid the person or persons responsible could return to try and steal more of his birds. Wilson isn’t expecting to see his birds again, as he believes it will be near impossible to track any sales of the stolen birds. One of the birds, “an elegant grass parakeet,” was also Wilson’s pet. He was an “older, gentle bird and wasn’t meant for breeding.”
Wilson wanted the aviary project to be something for the community – it wasn’t about money. “You can’t take that [money] with you when you go,” he said. “You can leave something behind of value, though.” He had no plans to charge admission fees to the aviary and it would be “wheelchair accessible, all that good stuff.” He wanted to offer people a unique experience and spread the joy these animals can bring to people. He suspects whoever is responsible for stealing the birds knew this. Wilson said his chick-
and loving woman.” She was also very giving and caring. He had wanted the aviary project to be in her memory and have her spirit live on through the business. His mom had earned a childhood nickname, the “cinder girl,” as she was always sweeping up cinders from the fireplaces of her home as a youth, said Wilson. Norma cared deeply for those around her and her family. Her brother had leprosy and she refused to send him away, despite what people thought, and she took care of him, said Wilson. When Norma and Wilson’s father met after the war in 1946, Norma made her husband take her siblings in too. Wilson grew up with about 21 kids, until one by one, Norma’s brothers and sisters got jobs and could settle on their own. Because of Wilson’s upbringing, he just can’t understand how people are capable of such cruelty, like stealing his birds, he said. Although down and disheartened, Wilson doesn’t want this experience to defeat him. He’s going to continue to try and get back on track with his project, he said.Police are asking for the public’s help with the investigation. Anyone who may have information on the crime is asked to call their nearest OPP detachment. Anyone wishing to remain anonymouse can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), where you may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000 and not
ens were the only ones left alone. In order to catch the birds, as it wouldn’t have been easy, it had to have been someone who knew something about birds, said Wilson. The owner reports the culprit(s) used a bird net he had at the property. The alarm at the greenhouse went off too late and only when the temperature in the greenhouse was going down that night, said Wilson. To Wilson’s knowledge, none of the neighbours saw anything the night of the theft. Wilson renamed the business after his mom, Norma. He describes her as a “gentle, kind have to appear in court.

Hain Celestial to open new plant in Quinte West BY ERIN STEWART
Quinte West — Hain Celestial Canada will open a new manufacturing plant in Quinte West, creating 26 new jobs in the area. With $1.3 million of investment support from the province’s Eastern Ontario Development Fund, Hain Celestial Canada will invest about $8.5 million into the project. “It’s fantastic, it’s really good news,” said MPP Northumberland – Quinte West Lou Rinaldi, who attended the announcement on Monday Nov. 6. “If all goes well they expect the plant to be ready by February 2018, the location is right off of Telephone Road on Tate Road here in Quinte West.” The company will establish a 35,000-square-foot plant in an existing building in Quinte West, its second manufacturing site in Ontario. Hain Celestial Canada is a food manufacturer that produces a wide range of natural, organic food and personal care products for major grocery chains across North America. Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said the city is very pleased to welcome Hain Celestial Canada to the community. “We are thankful for the continued support provided

This is a huge economic boost to our area with the creation of new jobs and the spinoffs that this business will bring to our area are significant,” he said. Since 2013, the Southwestern Ontario Development Fund and Eastern Ontario Development Fund have helped to create and retain more than 48,000 jobs and have attracted about $2.3 billion in private sector investment. The funds cover up to 15 per cent of eligible project costs, with the recipient company funding the remainder from its own resources.

Rinaldi neutral in health hub location debate
Clock runs out on fractured council BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – After about three hours into Monday night’s meeting, Brighton council had had enough – or at least half of the members present had. Come time to extend the meeting passed the three-hour mark, as council had not yet concluded its business slated for the evening, a tie vote forced the adjournment of the meeting, leaving more than a dozen items on Monday’s agenda to be handled and discussed now at a later date. “Our procedural bylaw sets a three-hour curfew for council meetings, no doubt to ensure good and thoughtful decisions are being made on behalf of the people,” said Councillor Brian Ostrander following the meeting. “That often doesn’t happen when we’ve been sitting for longer than three hours.” Brighton council has in the past, had meetings extend beyond midnight, sometimes lasting longer than five hours. Ostrander, alongside councillors John Martinello and Roger McMurray did not vote in favour of extending the meeting beyond the three-hour mark Monday. Martinello was prepared to put a motion on the floor to adjourn the meeting early Monday, just as Mayor Mark Walas noted the time. The meeting had already become a little too “chippy” for Martinello. “You’ll hear that if you listen to the audio recordings,” he said, as the meeting concluded and perhaps alluding to a disagreement he and Walas had Monday over a delegation on the agenda, in which, at times, some heated words were exchanged. Meanwhile, Walas, Deputy Mayor Laura Vink and Councillor Mary Tadman did support the motion to extend the meeting Monday – a decision Walas said council has made many times and the other three councillors’ choice to not support the motion this time came down to “playing politics.” As Martinello expressed his desire to adjourn the meeting early, Walas, in open session said, “That’s convenient,” considering Councillor Steven Baker’s absence from the meeting and as next up on the agenda were items pertaining to Brighton’s wastewater treatment system. Previous motions surrounding Brighton’s wastewater treatment plant and whether or not to pursue repairs to the current lagoon-based treatment system or a new mechanical treatment plant has dominated council discussion in 2017 and more than once made it clear council is divided on the issue. To “abruptly stop” the meeting around 9:30 p.m., and to say council can’t make good decisions after three hours time, is “embarrassing, to say the least,” said Walas. After the meeting, Walas said, “I did make comments referencing the fact that councillor

Trenton – NorthumberlandQuinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi isn’t choosing a site in the Quinte Health Hub location debate. Rinaldi spoke to Quinte West city council on Monday night and said that he isn’t too much into bricks and mortar.

Baker wasn’t here this evening and I believe that is in fact the reason, this is a split council, this a 4-3 council for the most part, and it’s really disappointing that, in my opinion, their fourth was not here tonight, so they chose to shut the meeting down.” There were a number of other issues on the agenda, for which people who may have attended Monday’s meeting, will now have to wait to be discussed and return to a later meeting and that’s also disappointing, said the mayor. As for when that meeting will occur, it wasn’t known Monday. Staff will have to first determine members of council’s availability and ensure a quorum. There should also be minimum 48 hours notice of the meeting to the public. As for the mayor’s statement that councillors’ were politically motivated in their decision to not extend the meeting, Ostrander said the decision had nothing to do with Baker’s absence. This also wasn’t the first time the councillor has voiced some concern with lengthier meetings of council. “If we had been almost done, I would have voted to proceed, but we weren’t even halfway through (the agenda),” said Ostrander.

“I just want to ensure the services are here,” said Rinaldi. “On services communities need, I don’t get too tied up on bricks and mortar. To me what’s important is that those services are delivered, whether they are going to be here or one or two blocks away.” Rinaldi said he met with Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison and city staff earlier in the day to go over some of the issues in the health hub debate, a debate on whether the health hub should be located next to the hospital on Catherine Street or downtown Trenton on Murphy Street. Since higher-than-recommended contaminants were found in the soil on Catherine Street – with a price tag of $760,000 for remediation – the Belleville and Quinte West Community Health Centre’s (CHC) current location downtown Trenton on Murphy

Street became the recommended site by the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN). The issue was discussed with the SE LHIN’s original Implementation Task Force members on Thursday Nov. 1 and sparked concern and disappointment from some task force members including Our TMH, resulting in a bus of about 40 Our TMH members to protest and sit in during the open meeting at the SE LHIN offices in Belleville Thursday evening. Paul Huras, CEO at the SE LHIN, said he is concerned about the risks associated with building on Catherine Street, as outlined in an environmental report. Huras has put a hold on the location decision until he is able to speak with Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison on Thursday Nov. 9. Councillor Sally Freeman spoke in favour of having the health hub located next to the hospital. “That’s our healthcare area, that’s where the feelings are coming in very, very strong and we’ve got some pretty good experts looking at some of this stuff too and they don’t feel the same way as Mr. Huras,” she said. Rinaldi wanted to reassure council that the health hub isn’t going anywhere and neither is Trenton Memorial Hospital, adding that the two aren’t “correlated”. “I want to make sure that it happens, that’s my priority,” he

Brighton — The opening weekend for Christmas at Presqu'ile Arts and Crafts Show “went very well,” says the chairperson of the organizing committee. “Our bookkeeper thinks we did record sales on Saturday (Nov. 4),” when 1,008 people went through, Linda Collins said. Another 602 turned out on Sunday (Nov. 5), “despite the weather” — which wasn't pleasant. The show, now in its 26th year, generates between $22,000 and $26,000 on average for the Friends of Presqu'ile Provincial Park, a volunteer-run charitable organization. All the money raised funds the Friends' interpretive and educational programs in Presqu'ile. “Hopefully, people keep coming out ... and buying lots of stuff, for the park,” Collins said. Evelyn Buckley, from Wooler, has been doing just that for 20 years, drawn by the rum cake and “the unique gifts.” Her mother, Margaret MacLellan, of Trenton, started going with her the year her husband died in 2009. Before that, Buckley's husband used to accompany her “because he wanted to do something nice before he started deer hunting for the week,” she said. “We make sure we get something every year,” she said. “We get Christmas gifts and we get things for ourselves.”

Susan Oppersma attended the crafts show determined not to make the same mistake she did last year. “I kicked my butt all year because I didn't buy anything, so I came back this year to buy something,” she said. When last seen, she had purchased a metal sculpture. “I just like the looks,” she said. Her husband Rudy “came for the butter tarts,” he quipped. Deborah Dixon from Bowmanville is a regular attendee. “I just like to see the art,” she said, but this time she came specifically for a scarf. “I bought one here before and I lost it so I had to come to replace it,” she said. “There's some gorgeous stuff ... It's a lot of fun and a lot of nice art. You never know when you're going to find something really unusual.” Brighton Mayor Mark Walas greeted the public as people made their way to the front of the line that formed outside Christmas House, handing out cashew brittle. The Friends “do a tremendous job ... to really draw more attention to the ecological value here in Presqui'ile,” he said. More than 135 artisans and crafters will be displaying their wares again this weekend, when the show is held Nov. 11 and 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

OPINION
B-Sens bring pro sports to region
Why China won’t budge on North Korea Over the next few days, Donald Trump will be visiting the leaders of Japan, South Korea and China, and the same topic will dominate all three conversations: North Korea. Japan’s Prime MinShinzo Abe and Gwynne Dyer ister South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in will be looking for reassurance that the United States will protect them from North Korea’s nuclear weapons, but in Beijing Trump will be the supplicant. The American president will be asking President Xi Jinping to do something, anything, to make North Korea to stop testing nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles. Trump has painted himself into a corner with his tongue, but even he knows (or at least has been told many times by his military advisers) that there is no military solution to this problem that does not involve a major war, and probably a local nuclear war. Trump promised that North Korea would never be able to strike the United States with nuclear weapons, and the reality is that it will get there quite soon (if it is not already there). The United States has no leverage over North Korea except the threat of war, so he needs China to get him off the hook. China has lots of leverage: 90 percent of North Korea’s imports come in through China, and most of its foreign exchange comes from selling things to China. Beijing could leave the North Korean population freezing and starving in the dark if it chose – but it won’t do that. Xi Jinping may throw Donald Trump a couple of smallish fish – a ban on the sale of blow-dryers and chain-saws to North Korea, perhaps – but he won’t do anything that actually threatens the survival of the North Korean regime. Yet he knows that nothing less will sway Kim Jong-un, because the North Korean leader sees his nukes and ICBMs as essential to the survival of the regime. Xi Jinping does not love Kim, and he definitely doesn’t like what he has been doing with the nuclear and missile tests. Kim has even purged the senior people in the North Korean hierarchy who were closest to China, and Beijing still puts up with his behaviour. Why? Because the survival of Communist rule in North Korea is seen in Beijing as vital – not vital to China as a whole, but to the continu-
ation of Communist rule in China. That may sound weird, but look at it from the point of view of China’s current rulers. Almost all the world’s ruling Communist parties have been overthrown in in the past quarter-century. What’s left, apart from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is just a few odds and ends: North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam and Laos. And the CCP’s highest priority is not “making China great again” or building a blue-water navy or whatever; it is protecting the power of the Party. The Chinese leadership cares about those things too, but everything is always seen through the prism of “Will it strengthen the Party’s rule?” Seen through that prism, the collapse of the North Korean Communist regime is a potentially mortal threat to the CCP as well. Beijing doesn’t stay awake at night worrying that a reunited Korea would bring American troops right up to the Chinese border either. It’s actually more likely that US troops would eventually leave a reunified Korea. After all, nobody in Korea worries about a Chinese attack, so why would the US troops stay? What truly frightens the men in charge in China is seeing another Communist regime go down. They were terrified by the collapse of the Soviet regime in 1989-91, and they blame it on the weakness and willingness to compromise of the Soviet Communist Party. For all their power and all their achievements, they see themselves as standing with their backs to a cliff. One step backward, one show of weakness, and they could be over the edge and in free-fall. Letting Kim Jong-un fall, however much they dislike him, might unleash the whirlwind at home. That is probably not true, but it has been the view of the dominant group in the Chinese Communist Party ever since the Soviet Union fell. They will not push Kim too hard no matter what the cost. And the US Joint Chiefs of Staff have just told Congress that there is no way the US can eliminate North Korea’s nuclear weapons without a full-scale land invasion. Conclusion? No matter what the various players say now, in the end North Korea will get to keep a modest nuclear deterrent force, but it will have to agree to keep it small enough that it could not possibly launch a successful first strike. Not that it could even remotely afford to build a force big enough to do that anyway. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Editorial by Chris Malette This ain’t your mom and dad’s Bulls. Sure, there were some exciting years when major junior hockey in the form of the OHL Belleville Bulls were the biggest draw in this area in terms of top-flight hockey entertainment. But, those days are long gone with seeing the last of reviled former team owner Gord Simmonds heading south with the team. Today, there’s an exciting brand of hockey on the ice, a palpable buzz in the air and there’s no reason fans of sharp, crisp passing, smart playmaking and superb goaltending (most nights) shouldn’t be driving into Belleville from Norwood, North Hastings, Brighton and Cobourg, Prince Edward County and beyond to take in a game or six. Folks, this is as close as you’re going to get to see professional hockey – good hockey from players hungry to make it to ‘the show’ – without shelling out obscene amounts of cash to take one in at the ACC in Toronto, the Bell Centre in Montreal or even the Sens’ parent club in that forlorn suburban barn in Kanata. Last week, the Ottawa Sentarors and Belleville Senators pulled out all the stops to make sure we all knew there was a new, hotter, betterlooking kid in town and that kid is the B-Sens. Prior to an evening of firsts, when fans packed to the rafters the $20-million retrofitted Yardmen Arena, parent club Sens owner Eugene Melnyk told reporters he believes the Belleville Senators will be here “for life.” The owner of the new American Hockey League franchise was pressing the flesh throughout the rejuvenated Yard Barn last Wednesday and was mostly welcomed with open arms and wide smiles. “We’re going to have hockey here way beyond when I’m around,” Melnyk said, during the press conference. He later told a scrum of reporters: “It’s going to be here for life.” We’ll see on that last bit, but Wesdnsday, Nov. 1 was a celebration on and off the ice. Already, the Sens have sold about 2,300 season tickets — a positive sign for the franchise which plays in a 4,400-seat venue. If walk-up crowds of more than 1,000 come each night, Melnyk said he believes the team will be in good shape. Adam Bignell, who played all or parts of five seasons with the OHL Bulls, made a dramatic appearance last Wednesday at centre ice in the first intermission of the first Senators’ game at the Yardmen Arena. Bignell picked up a Senators jersey that had been placed at the centre dot

and pulled it on to roars of the crowd who saw the symbolism in the gesture. It was an emotional gesture because Bignell is best remembered for laying a Bulls jersey at centre ice in a spontaneous, emotional gesture after the team was eliminated from the 2015 Ontario Hockey League playoffs – the last game the Bulls played in Belleville. A crowd of 3,194 fans who had packed the Yardmen Arena on April 2, 2015, were standing in stunned silence after the players had left the ice, the Barrie Colts having won 4-2 to cap a four-game sweep of the Bulls in an OHL firstround playoff series. That’s when Bignell, then the team’s assistant captain, emerged from the dressing room to lay his jersey on centre ice; a move that drew heartfelt applause from fans and outright sobs from diehard Bulls supporters. Opening ceremonies were moving, too. A video played on the new scoreboard, to the tune of Phillip Phillips’ song, “Home,” showing clips of the final moments of Bulls history and scenes of everyday Bay of Quinte residents flying Sens colours and getting ready for the new season. The arena where the Sens practise and play looks every bit the part of a snazzily revamped forum for pro hockey – replete with eight private boxes, 800 new seats, dressing rooms described as rivalling that of any pro sports team – for the Sens at least; beer leaguers are complaining the old rooms are still drab caves – a cool standing/pub table style viewing lounge across the expanse of the south end of the rink and, of course, the ‘product’ on the ice. The play is pro-level fast, the players themselves – while not household names by any stretch – are talented, big and not afraid to mix it up. Ask the Stevenson family, five or six of whom travelled from Trent Hills on opening night to be part of the action and take in the game. (Sorry Stevensons, our photographer’s camera malfunctioned, or you’d be gracing these pages today.) That’s the kind of fan base the Sens hope – and deserve, it says here – to draw if this franchise is to be viable and popular. At ticket prices ranging from $26.25 for the best seats to $22.50 for the cheap seats, this is hockey you ought to see if you’re a fan of the game. It really is that good and this region, starved for major junior or better hockey, needs to get behind it.

Art on Main group pushing for expansion, help in 2018 BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — Organizers of the fifth annual Art on Main event have big plans and are calling on the community for its support. “We want Art on Main to grow and expand with the community, especially for its milestone fifth year and so, we’re looking to start partnering with more community groups and residents,” said Sheryl Delorme, founder of the event and chair for the Art on Main committee. Delorme is also the owner of Special Effects Decorating and an interior decorator. When starting Art on Main, Delorme’s vision was it would shine a light on local artistry, while offering artists the space to display their craft and promote their work. “We want to see people engaged in the arts at every level and discipline,” said Delorme. The event, as it has in the past, may even give a young artist his or her first big breakout moment with their work. Each year artists set up around town in businesses and restaurants. The event is also meant to help those local businesses and to promote tourism, by bringing more people here and so they can see all Brighton has to offer. “Last year was my first year participating in the event and it was an absolutely amazing experience as a business owner,” said Lori Dunn, who owned the 78 on Main restaurant. “My business was packed for the event.” Dunn was one of many who had artists

like Nikki Crane, an abstract and watercolour painter, set up outside her restaurant to demonstrate her craft in real-time for people. Her work was scattered about outside the patio area, providing an experience for attendees similar to if they were touring a gallery almost, but outdoors. So inspired by her experience, Dunn has signed on as a committee member. Dunn is joining Delorme, Connie Howell, Jason and Caitlin Maracle and Elaine Poot, as she returns to the committee for the coming year.
“This is something we do for the community, there are no paid positions, it’s all done through volunteer work,” Delorme clarified. Leading up to next year’s event, the committee is asking for support and there are a few reasons why. For one, it’s a milestone event and the event continues to grow, as it’s advertised from Toronto, to Kingston. But volunteers also need help, says the group. Because Art on Main is a not-for-profit event and run by volunteers, it’s also pri-
rentals, advertising, entertainment and catering. What’s more, in its fifth year and being so successful the last four years, with increasing numbers for attendees and artists participating, the group would like 2018 to include expansions and the event return to a two-day affair. A pancake breakfast, photo-booth event and a dance, with several volunteer musicians are already in the works for early 2018 and to help raise funds. The group is asking residents visit their website (brightonaom.com) and Facebook page for details and for coming events. People can access contact information and the GoFundMe page through both. For Art on Main 2018, the performing, culinary and visual arts will be on display. Entertainers will once again line the streets and perform in the park. A Fine Arts Expose will be hosted the night before the big bash in Memorial Park and will be a catered event, also featuring performing artists. The legion will be rented out for the expose and artists will continue to display their work the following day there. The group hopes to expand the arts and crafts portion of the event and have more artists set up outside the legion, in addition to those at the park. “A pretty cool lineup of artists” has already come forward, though the group is still looking for new artists. Art On Main
marily funded through sponsorships from businesses and through members of the community. The group has lost one of its larger sponsors. The group has received grants in the past and will continue to pursue grant and sponsorship opportunities, but there are no guarantees, noted Delorme. The committee has started a GoFundMe page, with the hopes residents will help and so the event may return to make a big and colourful splash downtown. Donations will help offset costs for hall is set for Friday, July 6 and Saturday, July 7.

Flu vaccine remains best shot at protection: health officials BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — If you put Google to work looking for predictions of what’s in store for this flu season, you may read we could be in for a rough ride in coming months. But it’s difficult, even for experts and scientists, to predict how bad the 2017-18 flu season will be here. Those in the field often look to the experiences of countries in the southern hemisphere to base their predictions for the coming flu season.
“It hasn’t hit here yet, so we really don’t know what’s in store for this flu season and whether it will be similar to what’s been experienced in the southern hemisphere,” -MARIANNE ROCK, MANAGER OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASE CONTROL, EPIDEMIOLOGY AND EVALUATION WITH THE HALIBURTON, KAWARTHA, PINE RIDGE DISTRICT HEALTH UNIT.
The experiences of countries like Australia, which saw a “very severe flu season this past winter,” with many more influenza cases than normal, can often provide hints to how bad the season could be, explains Rock. What experts do when looking at that information, though difficult, is try to make predictions on some level as to what the flu season will be like here, she said. But, Rock maintains it’s only when the flu season hits home that Canadians and residents of this region will really have an idea as to what people will be dealing with. “What we do know is that influenza is on the way, so it’s best to protect yourself by getting the flu shot,” said Rock. Health unit staffers are once again urging residents to get the
flu shot. Kids six months and older can get a vaccine. People should get the shot as soon as possible, as it takes two weeks to build up immunity afterwards and it is the best protection, said Rock. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care provides a lot of information and a number of documents for the different age groups and can help families determine what vaccine is best for each age group, as can health care providers or pharmacists, said Rock. People can also call the health unit to determine the best vaccine for kids, for example. In Rock’s experience, the first wave or the first spike of the season generally hits after Christmas and right around the start of the new year. This often is a result of everyone getting together for the holidays, as families and people are visiting with greater numbers, people are travelling from other areas and people tend to be in more confined spaces when they’re visiting, said Rock. Then there are also people visiting nursing homes to see family, all the shopping and sharing of foods, she added. In other words, the flu loves Christmas. “So, we typically will see an increase in flu cases in the really early part of 2018,” said Rock. As for the subsequent peak for the flu season, it changes yearly as there’s a lot that can contribute to that second peak, explains Rock. It depends on the flu season, what’s circulating, how strong the virus is that’s making people sick and how best the flu vaccine protects against that potential strain, she said. By mid-season, there is also the possibility a virus can have mutated and changed and there is always the possibility the vaccine may not protect against that mutated strain as well, said Rock. Still, health professionals and
experts insist the flu vaccine remains people’s best shot at protection, even in the event of a mismatch or mutated strain. (Scientists do also look ahead and try to predict mutations). “The flu shot is safe and effective, and reduces your risk of getting sick from influenza,” said Rock. “Even if you get the flu after receiving the flu shot, your illness is usually milder than if you had not been vaccinated.” Health unit staffers are particularly urging high-risk groups to get the vaccine. “Getting the flu shot is especially important for high-risk individuals who can suffer more severe health complications from the flu,” said Rock. High-risk groups include pregnant women, people with chronic health conditions, adults 65 and older, kids under five, as well as health care providers and support staff who can transmit the flu to vulnerable persons. If residents cannot get their shot through a health care provider, the following pharmacies in Brighton have been approved to provide flu shots: the Drugstore Pharmacy, Remedy’s Rx and Rexall Pharma Plus. Pharmacists provide vaccines to people aged five and older. It’s suggested residents check with pharmacies for availability and specific information. In Colborne, the Downey Pharmacy will provide flu shots. Residents can also book an appointment at a special ‘family-friendly’ flu vaccine clinic, offered by the health unit for families with kids under five. Both kids and their parents/caregivers can get their shots at these clinics. A clinic will be hosted in Brighton, on Tuesday, Nov. 28, at the Brighton Community Resource Centre (1 Young St.). To make an appointment, call the health unit at 1-866-888-4577, ext. 1507.

MFRC ready to help families during holiday deployments BY MAKALA CHAPMAN
Being deployed can be both an exciting and stressful moment in any military member's career, says Kendra Bickford. As the deployment services coordinator at the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC), Bickford adds that it’s important have the right support services in place for all that may be involved ¬— especially with the holiday season fast approaching. She went on to explain that feeling emotions like happiness and sadness are all normal experiences for family members, spouses and friends of military members being deployed. “We offer support to anybody who may be struggling with the deployment,” she said. “There is an emotional cycle of deployment and people can be in various stages. These emotions are very real, but a lot of families don’t know that what they’re experiencing is actually very normal.” To help combat those feelings, there are several programs in place for those who are feeling the stresses associated with a deployment, said Bickford. Whether it’s a children’s resiliency program, support groups for spouses or just some one-on-one time talking, she said the MFRC does its best to help with the transition from start to finish. One of the support groups Bickford said she wanted to highlight was the “What about me?” program for children. Running every first and third Wednesday of the month from 6 to 7:30 p.m., Bickford said children ages 6-11 are encouraged to come together to learn about coping

strategies and self-regulation tips. Other resources available include a deployment library full of books on how to explain the process to children and respite programs to help cover the cost of child care. For those looking to send mail and parcels to deployed members, the MFRC also offers wrapping stations where mail can be sent for free.
10 Brighton Independent - Thursday, November 9, 2017
But while there is a big focus on helping members and their families before and during the deployment period, Bickford said that offering support during the reintegration process is just as crucial. As an example, she explained that children with a deployed parent might need extra help readjusting once that parent has returned since they may have become accustomed to their absence. “The demands on the family are very hard and sometimes one spouse has to take on both parents’ roles,” she said, “but we try to help normalize the situation as much as possible.” For most members being deployed, they are required to meet with Bickford before leaving, which she said is a good opportunity to discuss the various services offered by the MFRC in further detail. But regardless of the length of a deployment, it’s important to treat all cases individually and with respect, said the MFRC’s communications and development co-ordinator, Devon Taylor.
have a place to come and there will be friends to help you through that deployment or separation.” With the Christmas holidays coming up, Bickford added that care packages are also sent to all the members who are currently deployed both internationally and domestically. “I think it boosts the morale for the troops because for them being away, it’s very hard for them, too, being apart from their kids and their family over a really big holiday,” she explained. “It lets them know that we are thinking of them back home and it goes a long way.” Also looking to provide support to deployed Canadian Armed Forces members during the holiday season is the Support Our Troops team from Ottawa. With the help and partnership of a generous donor, the families of deployed members who are gone over Christmas will receive a $50 gift card with the intent to help assist with the cost of a holiday meal. Bottles of maple syrup will also be sent to deployed troops overseas. Since this is the inaugural year of this initiative, the Support Our Troops team will be reaching out to the various bases and wings across the country looking for local representatives to help bring this project to fruition. In a written statement, it was noted that the reason the donor decided to undertake this project was to help demonstrate to deployed members and their families that their sacrifice to their country hasn’t gone unnoticed and never will be. The MFRC will also be hosting a Christmas dinner mid-December for families who have deployed members away during the holidays. During the event, the families are treated to prizes, games, a visit from Santa Claus and time to socialize with each other. “It gives the families the chance to have that sense of belonging and family,” said Bickford. “It’s important everyone is taken care of.” For those looking to get more information on the deployment services at the MFRC, contact Kendra Bickford at 613-392-2811, ext. 4582, or through email at
“It’s always the little trips, too,” she explained. “It doesn’t have to just be deployment but it could be when they go on course, on a quick mission, tasking or training. No matter how long the duration of the deployment, it’s still separation.” With a partner who is currently in the military, Taylor explained that they work hard to find a happy balance in their lives that works for them. “Luckily, I’m aware of the services available and I do know that they are there if I need them,” she said. “With the nature of his job, things can change in a moment's notice, so it’s important having people that you can relate to and who truly understand what you’re going through.” As for her advice to new families to the military or to those who are looking for extra support, she said it never hurts to just reach out. “Utilize the supports in the area even though asking for help can be difficult,” she said. “Build that system of support because at least you will know that you always kendra.b@trentonmfrc.ca.

Trent Hills – Lower Trent Conservation has a dam in Warkworth that needs to be reviewed and it’s asked Trent Hills, once again, for help with the cost. The agency was turned down earlier this year but that didn’t stop Janet Noyes, Lower Trent’s manager of development services and water resources, from coming to council at its last meeting to make the same request. She said following a major flood in 1980 that “jeopardized the structural integrity” of nearby residences and the village’s business area, a study was done to identify flood hazards and it recommended remedial work, which was undertaken in the years that followed. A 2006 dam safety report made a number of recommendations as well and more upgrades were undertaken. In 2011 the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry determined that the Warkworth dam had a high hazard potential and that another dam safety review was overdue. The ministry will share the cost of major maintenance or related studies for structures owned or maintained by conservation authorities. Lower Trent did receive approval but without the support of Trent Hills to provide matching funds, “we actually had to give the money back,” Noyes said. “Basically I’m here to ask again.” The conservation authority obtained a ballpark estimate of $75,000 to $125,000 on the cost of a study and a public safety risk assessment. Noyes went with $110,000 as a conservative estimate -- $90,000 for the dam safety review, $15,000 for the assessment, and $5,000 for contingency. Lower Trent would require Trent Hills to commit to covering 50 per cent of the cost, or $55,000, as the benefiting municipality. If council made that commitment, work on the two documents would commence next fall and be completed by March 2019. Councillor Rosemary KelleherMacLennan said the flood in 1980 was “rather devastating and most of the people in the downtown core were really desperate to have something done.” Although council decided not to help fund the study earlier in the year, Kelleher-MacLennan said: “We have to rely on the experts and the science behind this type of potential catastrophe again.” “I do feel this is something that we need to look at and try to budget for.” Noyes said the funding could be provided over two years. Staff was directed to prepare a report in response to the authority’s request.
Brighton’s Own:
A real life hero with some simple advice BY VIC SCHUKOV
Manon Courville Burke is the living embodiment of the truism that life’s real heroes are everyday people. Burke was born in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia where her father was stationed in the military. Naturally, she moved around a lot: six years in Nova Scotia, four years in Bagotville (Quebec), Quebec City ‘til she was 17, and back to Bagotville ‘til 21. She got married and moved to Edmonton for 18 years, and then her husband (also in the military) was posted to Victoria, B.C. for three years, before they finally came here in 2011. “The military is a community within a community,” said Burke. “You have things in common like friends who share friends whom you know from other bases. Growing up, I was sort of lucky in that I attended only four different schools. Still, you’re always the new kid on the block, and I find military children are more outgoing. You can’t (afford to) be shy if you are a military brat. You are more independent and confident. In the beginning, you have that friends’ connection, but as you get older you realize you have to leave soon so you are more cautious about making closer relationships. Today, my husband is my best friend.” At age 28, Burke was diagnosed with an incurable auto immune disease that the doctors predicted would eventually require she have a liver transplant. Eight years later, she was put on a recipient list. Two years after that she was already in the hospital when a donor was found: “I actually
felt relieved, just before the operation,” said Burke. “Before then, during the long wait, I got through the bad days because my husband was there for me. (Her two boys were in their teens at the time.) I learned how family is so important in a crisis. Their support makes everything better when you know you don’t have to worry and they are always there to look after you. My father said, ‘Take it day by day. We will always be here for you.’ My parents flew out to Edmonton and lived with us for two months while I went through it. I feel bad for people who don’t have families to help them like that, and I think my character building as a military child certainly helped me to handle the crisis.” That was ten years ago. Today, Burke runs her own private hairdressing salon and loves and appreciates the interaction with people: “I met my husband in Edmonton because I used to cut his hair,” she laughed. “And I love the area and our neighbours.” So how did the crisis change her? “I am happy to have made it to this age. You get a whole new Manon Courville Burke shown here at outlook on life. You have a second chance. You feel her home business. Photo by Vic Schukov very lucky, so you go ‘get hear’ and you do good. You are grateful, and the big things become very Good and simple advice from a courageous small, and the small things become bigger because you make them bigger in appreciation.” So her military wife.

But don’t give up. day people; victorschukov@gmail.com ) So, for the rest of my life, I want to be happy.”

Brighton
Brighton – It's been said often, but bears repeating, in the year of its centennial: The Battle of Vimy Ridge in the First World War 100 years ago affirmed Canada's identity as a nation. How that came to be was the subject of a special presentation at the Hilton Hall Heritage Centre on Nov. 5 by Dan Buchanan, Brighton's own “History Guy.” Drawing upon the works of five authors – Pierre Berton, Ted Barris, Tim Cook, Jane Urquhart and Orland French – Buchanan outlined the course of events that culminated in Canadian soldiers winning the momentous battle, but at considerable sacrifice, with close to 3,600 being killed and another 7,000 wounded,in four days of fighting, April 9-12, 1917. They had been given that task after having proved on the battlefield to the British and the French that they were “the best shock troops that the Allies had,” Buchanan said. And Vimy Ridge needed to be in the Allies' hands “before they could attempt any other major offensive,” he said. Canadian Corps commander Sir Julian Byng, who was to become Canada's beloved Governor General after the war, was “very meticulous in his planning,” and that proved key to the four divisions achieving their objectives. Carrying out dozens of trench raids to gather intelligence from captured Germans and “give fresh Canadians battle experience,” contributed to that success, Buchanan said. The raids had “a debilitating effect” on their foes in the weeks leading up to the final attack, impairing their ability to maintain communications and to bring up reserves to the front, “but the cost was great.” “It was a dangerous place to be in all those months,” Buchanan said. “The majority of Canadian casualties were from German artillery ... until all the guns were silenced.” Three of the divisions enjoyed “fairly quick success” but the fourth division suffered “massive casualties” in tackling Hill 145, the highest and steepest point along Vimy Ridge and the one most heavily fortified. “It was a great victory for the Canadian Corps,” which led to it being given “significant roles” for the remainder of the war, Buchanan said. Canada came of age and its military gained “a significant boost of confidence.” “It went some way towards creating the country that we know today,” Buchanan said; “the most important effect of the victory at Vimy Ridge” was that Canada was one of the signatories on the Treaty of Peace at Versailles. “This was a huge deal, this was the first time that Canada had signed an international agreement on its own account, as a country ... and not as a colony,” he said. Victory at Vimy Ridge “was a very significant event in Canadian history, one that deserves to be studied and to be celebrated,” Buchanan said. His talk was presented by the Friends of Hilton Hall Heritage Centre, which he chairs, under the auspices of the Brighton Heritage Advistory Committee.

Orphan 32 shares story of hope at 8 Wing Trenton BY MAKALA CHAPMAN
Thanh Campbell has chosen to inspire others with his life story after he was mistakenly taken as a baby from his family in Vietnam back in 1975. Stopping by 8 Wing Trenton recently, the Canadian inspirational speaker and author said he wanted to share his story of hope and gratitude with the very organization that played a role in his “abduction.” It was during the Vietnam War that Campbell, then known as Nguyen Ngoc Minh Thanh, and his siblings were placed in an orphanage for safe keeping. Since his father had been a highranking military official, Campbell said his parents had decided that hiding the children would be in their best interest. But in the spring of 1975, members of the U.S. military and the Canadian Armed Forces arrived in Vietnam to evacuate children from the war-torn country as part of a mission known as Operation Babylift. It was then that Campbell said he was mistaken for an orphan and soon found himself with a one-way ticket to Canada in the back of a CC-130 Hercules from 8 Wing Trenton. “They had the courage to go into a war-torn country and risk being shot out of the sky,” said Campbell,
noting that he held no resentment toward the military. “From my perspective I have a debt of gratitude because they risked their lives for the children.” Out of the babies that were evacuated from Vietnam that day, Campbell said he was the 32nd out of a total of 56 – most of whom were actually orphans. Campbell said that he is often asked what he would say to the American soldier who took him out of the orphanage and delivered him to the Canadian aircraft waiting to whisk him away. Again, he made clear he harboured no ill-feelings and was anything but angry. “I don’t blame him,” he said, bearing a genuine smile on his face. “I would say ‘thank you’ because look at the life I’ve been able to live.” Having shared his story at the year’s National Search and Rescue Exercise (SAREX) in Hamilton, Ont., Campbell said it was there that he was invited to speak at 8 Wing Trenton. Campbell was the keynote speaker at the professional development seminar held at the base on Oct. 19. “I wanted to come and say thank you,” he said. “I know these officers aren’t the actual ones who came to Vietnam that day, but it’s

the organization that they represent and what they are still doing for many people around the world.” He added that it was also nice to give the soldiers a good news story since many don’t often get to hear the end results of the humanitarian missions they are sent on. Through his story, Campbell added that he hopes to inspire and encourage the members to continue the work that they do. “In the world’s eyes, my situation
Health unit pushing for basic income Northumberland -- The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit has launched a campaign urging elected officials to fight food insecurity by providing citizens a basic income guarantee. With more than one in 10 local households not having enough food to eat or worrying they won’t because they haven’t the money, “boosting income is the only solution to helping people gain access to healthy food,” the health unit said in announcing the launch of a new Rethink Poverty: Change Minds, Change Lives campaign to help raise awareness of food insecurity. It’s asking people to visit www. rethinkpoverty.ca to learn more about food insecurity in the area and what they can do to help solve it. A template letter is provided which residents are encouraged to email to their MP and MPP asking them to support income-based solutions such as a basic income guarantee, higher minimum wage and better employment standards. “Working full-time hours at minimum wage no longer guarantees someone can afford basic needs, including food and rent,” Kimberly Leadbeater, a registered
dietitian with the HKPR District Health Unit said in the release. “Food charity,” such as food bank use, “is not a long-term solution,” she said. “Poverty is the root cause, and the only way to fix the problem is to provide people with more income.” The health unit’s Nutritious Food Basket Survey for 2017 calculates it costs approximately $882 per month for a family of two adults, a teenager and a child to eat healthy in Northumberland and Haliburton counties and the City of Kawartha Lakes. The finding is similar to what it found in 2016, but “increases in other monthly expenses mean people’s incomes are not keeping pace,” the health unit stated. Risings costs for rent, utilities, hydro, clothing and some food
“make it difficult for people who rely on social assistance, disability benefits and minimum-wage jobs to pay all their bills,” Leadbeater said. “This is leading some low-income earners in our community to put off buying healthy food so they can pay for other basic needs of life.” The health unit said a lack of healthy food results in poorer health and higher medical costs, which underscores the need for income-based solutions. There are currently three Basic Income Guarantee pilot programs in the works in Ontario, in Hamilton, Thunder Bay and Lindsay (which is expected to have 2,000 participants). The template for a letter to an MP or MPP can be found at www. hkpr.on.ca under ‘News.’
may be a mistake,” he explained, “but to me it was meant to be. I believe in providence and I believe everything happens for a reason.”
Having been adopted by a Canadian family, Campbell noted that he had a loving upbringing and is now raising a family of his own. As for his long-lost relatives back in Vietnam, Campbell said they too got a happy ending. As a result of Campbell sharing his story with various media outlets, his family in Vietnam was able to track him down and finally reach out to him. Campbell said a DNA test came back as a 99 per cent match and he was then able to reunite with his birth parents and siblings in 2007. As for whether there were any hard feelings between the two families, Campbell said there had been none at all. “My (birth father) took the opportunity to thank my dad (Mr. Campbell) for raising me in Canada and for the man I came to be,” he said. “He really wanted him to know how grateful he was.” As for why he has decided to travel the country sharing his story, Campbell explained that it was to
help build a sense of community and to help people reflect on their own life story. Present at the professional development seminar was 8 Wing Chief of Staff Lieutenant-Colonel David Alexander. He noted that having Campbell as the guest speaker was important as it offered some insight into the lives that the men and women of 8 Wing Trenton are directly or indirectly impacting on a daily basis. “We’re very much interested in having Mr. Campbell here since there is that air mobility connection,” he said. “Some of the people in the audience, as well as myself, have probably flown on the very aircraft that brought him out of Saigon at some point (in our careers).” Alexander then went on to add that he hoped those in attendance were inspired by Campbell’s story and were given some food for thought with respect to the world they live in and the country they serve.

Women’s history and fashions on display at celebration BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — Brighton women took a walk through time this week, all the way back to 1897. It was a full house at the Brighton Masonic Lodge Nov. 1, as the fashions of the decades were on display and the Community-York Road Women’s Institute revisited history, celebrating 120 years since the first branch for the women’s group was established. “This is something that started in Stoney Creek, Ont., and is now worldwide,” said Margie Simpson, past president for the local institute and convener of the anniversary show.
The ‘Fashion Thru the Decades’ event featured poodle skirts, punk rockers from the '70s and '80s, examined how women’s fashions changed after the wars and of course, the flapper era. Considering the time of year, the Community-York Road Women’s Institute (WI) put on the show for free and instead asked attendees if they could to make a financial donation to the Brighton Fare Share Food Bank. Simpson was floored at the turnout for the event, as several others from neighbouring institutes also turned up for the show and filled the hall. And it wasn’t all about the poodle skirts and flappers, attendees heard throughout
the narrated show. Joined together through the institute, women have done a great deal over the years, said Simpson. For more than a century now, members of the WI have worked together for family, home, community and country. The objective of the first branch was to improve “women’s skills in the art of homemaking and child care.” And even that wasn’t a particularly popular movement at the time. There was some opposition at first and some men didn’t want women to “neglect their household and farming duties,” attendees heard as they were led

through a reflection of the times. Simpson also recalled some of the movements the institute was a part of over the years. She read aloud several old resolutions put forward through the institute, where they pushed for women to have the same rights as men and to earn the same wages. Another resolution pushed for women’s rights to enter the House of Commons as members. The Federated Women’s Institutes of Ontario was organized in 1919, “giving members a stronger voice by working together as a united group,” and focus expanded for women to include personal growth opportunities,
government lobbying and health and community wellness projects. During the event, women also paid tribute to Adelaide Hoodless, the woman, who on Feb. 12, 1897, spoke at a Farmer’s Institute ladies night and suggested the formation of a group with the purpose to broaden knowledge of domestic science and agriculture and for women to socialize. One week later, on Feb. 19, 1897, she found 101 women at her side and in support of the initiative. This group became the first branch of the WI, with Hoodless as the honorary president.
Old factory converted to coworking space BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Cobourg — Entrepreneurs accustomed to working out of offices where they live now have a former industrial site they can call home any time they want. It's The Factory, set in the old Kraft plant where Northumberland County's Business and Entrepreneurship Centre (BECN) is located. The centre has expanded its services to include more than 40 coworking spaces that members share, which also gives them access to high-speed internet and WiFi, a workshop/training/conference room, parking, “collaboration corners” and “hot desks,” says the county. “Supporting small business success is always a smart idea, and is particularly relevant for smaller communities like Northumberland,” County Warden Mark Walas said in a news release announcing The Factory's grand opening on Nov. 2. “These organizations make up over 98 per cent of businesses in Ontario; they are a vital economic backbone for the province and for our community,” he said. “This coworking space is another innovative opportunity for us to foster a prosperous and thriving Northumberland.” Coworking spaces allow professionals, often independent business owners, to share work areas and utilize the resources of a communal office setting. The amenities provided are beyond those found in a typical home office environment. This kind of arrangement lowers members' operating costs and connects them to a network of professionals who will help them grow their business through the sharing of knowledge and ideas. The Factory is “a members-only community,” with 30 individual spaces and 14 seasonal spaces, BECN manager Rob Day said. It will have “particular value for professionals
who work out of their home — freelancers, independent contractors, start-ups — or who otherwise work in an isolated environment.” A section of the county's building at 600 William St. was converted to create The Factory. The result was more than 1,000 square feet of indoor/ outdoor space dedicated for the use of entrepreneurs so that they can connect, grow and prosper. “I'm very excited to be a member of The Factory,” Robert Scozzari, an entrepreneur from Campbellford, said in the news release. It's “the perfect office away from home for me to hold meetings and set up shop when I need it.” His business, Inspiring Design Company, helps clients with graphic designs, branding and web designs, as well as their search engine optimization and social media needs. He operates out of a small home office and has “a lot of clients in Cobourg and Port Hope.” Being able to meet them at The Factory to discuss things is so much better than getting together in “a noisy café,” he said. “It's really a nice, professional environment now. “It's not a permanent office,” he added, but all he needs is his laptop to conduct business. Being able to book a meeting room if needed is “a nice feature as well,” as is the opportunity to network with other businesses and make “alliances,” Scozzari said. Another plus is the counselling, consultation and other services provided on-site at the BECN. There are currently 21 members registered with The Factory and that number is expected to rise to 40 in 2018. The cost is $59.99. “It's very fair,” Scozzari said.

QUICK TIPS
Today
to winterize your home
(NC) We know that Canadian winters can be tough on our homes - both inside and out. Here are some time-saving tips to stay ahead of the harsh weather from specialists on this topic at Home Depot Canada:
Prep the deck Cleaning the deck’s surface, especially removing debris caught between deck boards, can save a lot of time come spring. Consider using a power washer and recommended cleaner to remove mold, mildew and grime. When the surface is clean again, seal it with a weatherproofing wood stain for lasting protection. Keep a maintained roof over your head A well-maintained roof keeps the warm air in and cold air out. Being proactive now, with repairs and maintenance, will prevent larger issues in the spring months. Remember to check and examine if there are any leaks, ventilation issues, or insulation deficiencies.
Announcement - First Monday of Each Month
Install door sweeps A door sweep takes care of air leaks at the bottom of doors common in older homes.A door sweep is easy to install with a few simple screws.. By applying weather stripping, you can save up to 20 per cent on heating and cooling bills.
. seize the.and. look as young as you feel!
Prep drains for winter Prepare for the winter run -off by adding a downspout extension to your current drainage system. Come spring, melting snow should be directed at least three to four feet away from your home’s foundation. Make sure exterior faucets have been turned off. Any water left in the pipe could freeze, forcing expensive repairs for burst pipes. Fall dust down Now is the time to thoroughly clean heating ducts, grills, registers and ceiling fans. Air filters should be replaced as least once every three months as they can become clogged, causing your system to work less efficiently and increasing operating costs.

Brighton karate club brings home 21 medals while supporting Strong Kids BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — Eight Brighton kids have brought home a combined total of 21 medals following the Trent Valley Invitational Karate Tournament. Hosted at the Trenton YMCA, on Sunday, Oct. 29, the tournament also raised money for the YMCA Strong Kids campaign. “Brighton Martial Arts had students showing their skills in sparring and kata,” said sensei Jeff Darrington. “We were happy to have eight of our students enter the tournament.” Darrington and sensei Paul Battilana run the Brighton-based martial arts dojo and in the last five years, have worked with and taught more than 110 students. Kids participating at the recent invitational were between the ages of seven and 14. "Kata" is a lengthy set of predetermined memorized movements, including blocks, punches, kicks and stances in different directions, explains Dar-
rington. During these pre-arranged sequences of movements, this is how kids start to learn correct karate practices, including both offensive and defensive techniques. Often there are also hidden movements in these sequences or drills. “They did very well in their respective belt colours and age categories,” said Darrington. Both Darrington and Battilana “are very proud of their students for doing so well at the tournament.” This was the kids’ first time participating at this tournament and each of the kids took home multiple wins, including nine first-place wins. “We see the evidence of hard work and dedication with our students,” said Darrington. “Brighton Martial Arts teaches discipline, respect, hard work and is a very family-oriented karate club.” Dante Battilana, a brown belt, took first place in kata and sparring, and third place in weapons
at the tournament. Lilly Darrington, also a brown belt, took third in kata and first in sparring. The following yellow belts: Kalyn Clayton, Kayden Petch and Addison Ibbotson took home wins. Kalyn took second in kata and first in sparring. Petch earned second place in kata, third in the team kata and fourth in sparring. Addison took the top spot in kata, third in the team kata and second in sparring. Geoff Clayton, an orange belt, took first in kata, second in team kata and first in sparring. Angus McDougall, also an orange belt, won fourth in kata, second in team kata and fourth in sparring. Finally, Cale Flood-Graham, just starting out as a white belt, took first in kata and first in sparring. The karate club has a long history of helping local kids and has been in Brighton for more than 20 years, said Darrington, who took over the club from his sensei Tom Hadwen of Brighton in July

2012. Before making the move to the industrial park on Loyalist Drive, the club was ran at times between the high school, public school and the legion. While the club was based at the legion, membership and interest continued to grow. It was during this time, Darrington met Battilana at the soccer fields, as they watched their sons play soccer together. Soon after, they got talking about martial arts and the karate club. Battilana’s son later joined the club and Battilana, a black belt for many years, joined on to help teach alongside Darrington. “We both think alike and have many of the same goals with the students,” said Darrington. They managed to make the move into the dedicated space at the industrial park two years ago

Hawks win one in three over busy four days The Hawks visited the Cobourg Cougars Monday night for a tense game. Cobourg opened the first period with a quick goal only 25 seconds into the period, scored by George Miranda and assisted by Ryan Porter. Boman evened out the first period with a goal at 11:48, assisted by Ewart and Stiles. The second period saw four goals, two scored by each team. Both Trenton and Cobourg scored on power plays at the beginning of the period followed by an unassisted goal by Cobourgs Mac Lowry and a goal by Trenton’s Stiles. Cobourg took the lead in the third period with a goal at 7:08. The Hawks pulled the goalie at the end of the period and Lowry scored his second goal of the game on the empty net. This week the Hawks will face Markham at home on Wednesday Nov. 8 and host Aurora on Friday Nov. 10.

Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks played three games over four days this weekend, winning one out of three. First up, the G-Hawks hosted the Kingston Voyageurs on Friday Nov. 3. With shots on net 9-8 for Kingston in the first, the Voyageurs manager one goal past Trenton’s goaltender James Povall. Kingston extended their lead in the second period, managing an unassisted goal 3:36 into the period by Andrew Suriyuth and a power play goal by Reid Russell at 13:30, putting up 23 shots on net to Trenton’s 15. Trenton outshot the Voyageurs for the first time in the third but allowed another goal. Mac Lewis scored the Hawks only goal of the game on the power play with four minutes remaining, ending the game 4-1 for Kingston. Trenton rebounded with a huge win the next day in Whitby. The G-Hawks shutout the Fury 7-0, thanks to a hat trick by Caleb Boman and major contributions up and Shaun Bily #24 of the Trenton Golden Hawks passes the down the line-up. puck.

Big win, blowout loss, blockbuster trade highlight Sens’ first home week
Belleville – Gabriel Gagne gave Belleville a winning night in the return of hockey to the Yardmen Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 1. But the momentum didn’t last through the weekend – and the goaltender that helped win the historic game is gone. A big opening night win, a pair of losses and a blockbuster
trade made for an eventual first week at home for the Belleville Senators. The team also played the Binghamton Devils on Wednesday, Nov. 8 in a game played after press time. Their seasonopening home stand continues this weekend, with games against the Rochester Americans on Friday, Nov. 10 and Saturday, Nov. 11.

Sens beat Syracuse 4-3 in opener On Nov 1. Gagne (whose name translates to “win” in English) scored the shootout winner to give the Belleville Senators a 4-3 win over the Syracuse Crunch in Belleville’s American Hockey League home debut at the renovated Yardmen Arena. The goal was the lone goal of the three-round shootout. When Sens goalie Andrew Hammond turned away Syracuse’s Cory Conacher on the next shot, the sold out crowd of about 4,400 went into a frenzy. The win completed a night of celebration in a game that marked the return of high-level hockey to Belleville, two and a half years after the Ontario Hockey League’s Belleville Bulls played their last game.
“It was awesome,” said Gagne, following the game. “The fans were good. They were into the game.” Sens coach Kurt Kleinendorst said nearly the same thing. “It was a great night. The production was great. The fans were great.” Checkers sweep Sens The momentum didn’t last courtesy of the Charlotte Checkers, the top farm team of the Carolina Hurricanes. On Friday, Nov. 3 the Checkers scored three goals before the game was nine minutes old, en route to a 6-1 win. Jim O’Brien scored Belleville’s lone goal, at 10:48 of the second period, but the Checkers responded with three more goals of their own. Danny Taylor was yanked from the Belleville
goal after the second period, having stopped 22 of 27 shots. Hammond played the third and stopped 12 of 13 shots. Attendance was announced at 3,418. The teams played again on Saturday night and this time the Checkers won 2-1. Ethan Werek’s goal for Belleville at 12:28 of the first had the Sens up for most of the game. But Charlotte scored at 5:40 of the third period and again at 15:27 to win the game, disappointing an announced crowd of 3,604 fans. Hammond was again solid in goal, stopping 33 of 35 saves. Hamburglar off to Colorado Given Hammond’s good play of late, it was no surprise that he was dealt to Colorado on Sunday night, as part of a three-player blockbuster trade involving the Senators, Av-
alanche and Nashville Predators. The Ottawa Senators landed coveted NHL star Matt Duchene, while the Predators received Kyle Turris. With Hammond in the lineup, Belleville fans were able to see a one-time NHL star goaltender – he was the talk of hockey in the spring of 2015 when, upon being called up to Ottawa, he went on a spectacular 20-1-2 run to help the Sens reach the post-season. But last year a hip injury limited him to just 11 pro games and the Sens entering this season had good depth in goaltending with Craig Anderson and Mike Condon suiting up for the big club. Hammond was earning $1.5 million this year – and players making that much shouldn’t be playing in the AHL for long. The Sens had reportedly tried to trade him in the offseason, but had no takers, likely given that he was coming off an injury. After looking sharp in the Sens first three games at the Yardmen, the Avalanche felt they could use him. Interestingly, the Ottawa Senators next games are against the Avalanche ¬– in Stockholm, Sweden. The two teams fly overseas for games on Nov. 10 and 11. It wouldn’t be surprising if a few more Belleville Senators – such as the Sens other goalie Danny Taylor – are called up for the Sweden games to serve as injury reserves.
Belleville Senators to pay their respects
O
n November 10th and 11th, the Belleville Senators will host the Rochester Americans for the fifth and sixth games of their Inaugural Season in the American Hockey League. As much as the excitement around professional hockey in the Bay of Quinte continues to grow, these occasions provide an even greater opportunity to demonstrate our support
for the community. These dates in particular provide a tremendous backdrop to say thank you to the Armed Forces of past and present; those who have laid down their lives for us and those who continue to risk their livelihood on our behalf. As part of these games, the Belleville Senators are working closely with their partners to welcome more than 250 members of the
Canadian Forces Base in Trenton and Military Family Resource Centre across the Friday and Saturday games. In addition to the 200 tickets provided by the team,
M a c k a y Insurance and JB Print Solutions have each graciously donated additional tickets, while Leonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trenton will provide their luxury suite to families of those in service. Throughout each evening, the team will honour all of these individuals, as well as those not in attendance, in numerous ways. This will include an anthem performed by Anita Halfpenny and the 8 Wing Band, ceremonial
puck drop with members from CFB Trenton, moment of silence and reveille by traditional bugle call, and video tribute from members of the Belleville Senators Hockey Club. The team asks that fans and community members join them to share in these respects. Tickets for each evening are available at www.BellevilleSens.com, via telephone at 1 (855) 985-5000 or in person at the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Box Office. Each game will begin at 7:00PM.

EARLY BIRD WINTER TIRE
Quinte International Air Show grounded for 2018 BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton – Disappointing news for aviation enthusiasts across the region, the Quinte International Air Show (QIAS) has been cancelled for 2018. Colonel Mark Goulden, Wing Commander of 8 Wing Trenton, said operations at 8 Wing Trenton are first priority and, with those commitments in mind, the difficult decision had to be made to cancel the show. “The last little while has been very busy with operations and a lot of those operations have been humanitarian assistance disaster response, the operation tempo has been very, very high,” said Goulden. It’s been a busy time at the base with operations to assist with disasters such as the forest fires in British Columbia, with 8 Wing people deployed there for two months, and assisting with the hurricane disaster in the Caribbean and Porto Rico. “The people on the wing here that support those operations and conduct those operations on a day to day basis are the same people that organize an air show and, as you can appreciate, organizing an air show the magnitude we would like to run here at the base involves a great deal of effort,” he said. The 2016 QIAS took eight months of planning, which was a surprisingly short amount of time compared to many other air shows that can take up to two years of preparation, said Goulden. The base just isn’t in a position to organize an air show for 2018 with ongoing and future operations, but Goulden said he is committed to establishing a committee that will look at future air shows, a committee consisting of military members and civilian partners from the community. “I can’t commit to a date right now, but I am going to commit to establishing that committee and they are going to look at some options of how we can run an air show here sometime in the near future,” said Goulden, noting that he’s

confident there will be a QIAS back in the skies over Quinte if he has anything to say about it. “I love air shows, I would absolutely love to have an air show here while I’m the commander, absolutely.” The 2016 air show was the return the spectacular QIAS, which had not been held at CFB Trenton since 2003. The 2016 show was a success, with more than 65,000 people in attendance, great involvement with the community and Goulden said it was a nice opportunity to give back to the community and display some of what the base has to offer.
Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison, while disappointed, was very understanding upon hearing the news. “I’m not surprised, I know they’re very busy at the base and as a result of that I can understand that they don’t have time to work on the show, it takes a lot of planning and preparation, but I’m sure we will have it another year,” he said. Harrison said he loves that air show but knows that they base has work to do, with operations all around the world. “I support them and I know the men and
women of 8 Wing are working all over the world,” he said, noting that the 2016 air show had a great impact on the local region. “It had millions of dollars of impact on the region, the 2016 show was fantastic with everything from the biggest planes, Snowbirds, everything the displays, I just thought it was unbelievable.” Harrison said he’s hopeful the airshow will be back in the near future, underscoring that he’s grateful CFB Trenton is located in the Quinte West community.

UN Day event fosters discussion on inclusiveness BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – If the Bay of Quinte region is to continue to embrace inclusiveness, it will require more than just policy. It will take action and events – and in will have to involve more opportunities for people of different cultural backgrounds to get together, discuss issues and understand one another. That was the one of the dominant thoughts at a “leadership summit and lunch” event hosted by the United Nations Quinte Branch on Friday, Nov. 3 at the Parrot Gallery in honour of UN Day. The purpose of the event was to bring community leaders together to discuss how to make the region a more welcoming place for new Canadians and how the community can better celebrate and promote diversity. “You have to get people to interact with each other. You have to let people be people,” said Dr. Bill Smith, one of four people on a panel that led a group discussion. Smith, representing the United Church of Canada’s Bay of Quinte Conference, said that in the past many churches had signs on their doors that said “all welcome” but weren’t really practicing what they were preaching. The United Church has since made efforts to become more progressive, and now all clergy members must take a course on racial justice before being appointed, he said. Other panel members spoke about how their organizations are doing more to embrace diversity. Cathy Rushton, a Loyalist College vice-president, said the college is making more of an effort to attract international students than ever before. This year

there are 350 international students, from 24 countries, at Loyalist. These students add to the cultural diversity of the college. Meanwhile, administrators are doing more to ensure students cultural backgrounds are respected at the college. For instance, at convocation ceremonies now, there’s mention that the event is taking place on traditional Mohawk land.
The Hastings Prince Edward District School Board was represented on the panel by Ken Dostaler, who works in a new role devoted to equity and inclusive education. He said an equity committee of the board is working to come up with new recommendations on how school boards can be more inclusive. “We’re excited to find out what’s out there. What
are the best practices?” he said. Karen Poste, Belleville’s economic development manager, represented the city on the panel. She spoke about Belleville’s new inclusive committee, which has organized numerous events, such as a vigil held last winter in the wake of a Quebec City mosque shooting that killed six members of the city’s Muslim community. Poste said that committee has been working to create forms for people to discuss issues related to diversity, so the public can be educated on issues, or report positive stories or concerns. She spoke about the Bay of Quinte Welcome portal (at immigration.bayofquinte.ca), which tells stories about the region in seven different languages, so potential new Canadians from different areas of the world can learn about the region. Bay of Quinte Member of Parliament Neil Ellis also attended the event. He told a story about his time as Belleville’s mayor when he was working on a plan with Poste to bring new immigrants to the region. He later received a signed letter from someone saying “how dare you try to change our city.” It was an all-time low point of his time as mayor, he said, as it reminded him that there are still people who do not embrace diversity, nor change. But he believes, over the last eight years are so, there are more organizations working to open people’s minds and encourage new Canadians to come to the region to improve the city’s culture, not to mention the economy. “There are a lot of organizations saying ‘this is the right thing to do,’” Ellis said. “Together we can shape our community and make it better.”

Police charge motorists photographing wreck BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Cramahe Township â&#x20AC;&#x201C;While a toppled transport truck snarled traffic Thursday on Highway 401 near Brighton at the Lake Road exit, police used the ensuing traffic jam to charge motorists who cruised slowly past the scene taking photos with their smart phones. Â Eastbound traffic on Highway 401 was slowed to a crawl between Colborne and Brighton Thursday after a tractor-trailer rolled onto its side into the median shortly after 5 a.m. One lane was closed to facilitate the removal of the vehicle and related cleanup. Police issued an update on the mishap, noting the investigation into the crash was continuing, but some drivers now face fines upwards of $300 for using a handheld device while driving. In the statement, police detailed, too the wild ride the transport driver had before crashing: "Further investigation revealed that the driver was originally traveling eastbound near exit #509 Brighton when he entered the centre grass median. After driving the tractor trailer through the grassy median he joined the westbound lanes eventually losing control of his truck several kilometres to the west. No other vehicles were involved... Charges are pending against the driver, a 38 year old man from Bradford, Ontario. "Police would like to remind motorists that it is illegal to hold a hand held communication device when operating a motor vehicle. Several motorists were observed to be taking pictures with their cell A tractor-trailer headed east on Highway 401 went off the road between Colborne and Brighton shortly after 5 a.m. last phones while driving by the collision scene resulting Thursday.

Stirling council sets procedural bylaw ALASKA STAY & SSAGE CRUISE INSIDE !PA Home Pick-up ! JULY 10 TO 21, 2018
BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling - Stirling-Rawdon Council has passed a lengthy new bylaw to govern the proceedings of both council and committees and to outline standards for public notice of meetings. The bylaw brings the township into compliance with Section 238 of the Municipal Act (2001), as amended. The new council procedural bylaw No. 1183-17, which replaces the old bylaw No.362-03, takes effect immediately. It includes a detailed list of definitions (for example, what constitutes a pecuniary interest) and outlines a list of rules which must be followed during meetings. The bylaw, passed Monday, Nov. 6, also states who may attend meetings, and whether any attendee can be removed (which can only happen if the person exhibits “improper conduct”) ,who can chair a meeting, when meetings will be held and how late they can last, the order of business for agen-
das, what requirements must be met to hold a closed session, and much more. The bylaw also limits the number of delegations on any one topic at a meeting to two and states that any person or organization (other than township consultants) is limited to two appearances on the same topic within one calendar year. The bylaw also outlines the duties of those presiding over meetings, lists things which members of council or committees are not permitted to do during meetings and states how members of the public must behave during meetings, such as refraining from “public outbursts, applause, shouting or behaviour intended to disrupt the debate, discussion and/or general proceedings of the council/committee.” Now that it has been passed by council, the full bylaw soon will be available on-line at http://www.stirling-rawdon. com/category/bylaws .

“Bill 148 basically says you’ve got to give everybody 48 hours’ notice before they can be called into work, and firemen will be paid $51 an hour for three hours a day for 300 days,” said mayor Rodney Cooney. “Something like that (would cost) Stirling-Rawdon about $1.6-million.” Treasurer/CAO Roxanne Hearns said the act is open to interpretation, but that they way it reads, the township would have to match the highest rate of pay of any township employee. In the case of firefighters, she said, “Whatever the highest full-time firefighter makes, your volunteers would make. It should be totally exempt for volunteer firefighters.” Cooney said the 48-hours’ notice is also completely untenable. “Basically, I don’t know if it’s going to snow tomorrow at 3 o’clock,” he said. He stated the only way to handle emergencies under this bill would be to use private contractors. Council voted to send a letter to the government of Ontario supporting Montague’s request, which asks for the province to provide an exemption from article s.21.4 for all municipal employees who are required to be on call to provide statutorily-mandated public safety services. The Montague resolution also asks the province to do a full economic impact study of Bill 148 to see what the effect will be on municipalities across Ontario.

Stirling—The province’s Bill 148, known as the Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act, will have a huge effect on municipal budgets by impacting how emergency services are provided, according to the Town of Montague. At its meeting on Monday, Nov. 6, Stirling council agreed completely, and voted to support that municipality’s objections to the new bill.

Quinte Conservation’s popular Adopt an Acre program is back and will help support a new water monitoring and research facility at Quinte Conservation. General Manager Terry Murphy says, “the money raised with Adopt an Acre will help us build a water monitoring and research facility that will enable staff to continue with water quality monitoring programs on the Bay of Quinte and other watercourses throughout our watershed.” Murphy adds, “there have been so many changes over the past few years because of climate change that it is now necessary to have a facility like this at our office in order to ensure a healthy environment for our children and grandchildren.” For $25 donors receive a tax receipt and an adoption certificate in the name of a loved one, friend, teacher or anyone who is interested in supporting a local environmental cause. People can adopt their acre by visiting or calling the Quinte Conservation office or going online to www.quinteconservation.ca. When people adopt two or more acres, they have the choice to receive a plush toy chipmunk, fox, or (new this year) cardinal as a thank you for the donation. Quinte Conservation hopes to adopt out 250 acres this year. Last year the program raised just over $6,000 and helped to pay for signage at local conservation areas, habitat enhancement projects and invasive species removal. Quinte Conservation is a community-based environmental protection agency. It serves 18 municipalities in the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee and Salmon Rivers and Prince Ed-

Northumberland Hills Hospital victims were competition shooters BY KAREN LONGWELL
Cobourg — The man killed in Northumberland Hills Hospital police-involved shooting bragged about his large gun collection in Texas. Family members identified the couple who were killed at NHH on Friday, Oct. 27 as Tom and Helen Ryan. Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said the couple died following a shooting inside the emergency room in the NHH in Cobourg. The incident began after they were admitted to the emergency department for unknown aliments, said Jon Ansell, the lead SIU investigator on the incident. Just after 11 p.m. a shot was heard from the triage room when nurses entered the room they found the woman had sustained a head wound. Cobourg police responded very quickly and encountered the 70-year-old man. Two police officers discharged their firearms and the man was pronounced dead on scene. Dolly Rash the manager of Hospice Boutique in Brenham, Texas, where Helen volunteered once a week for about six years, described her as cheerful woman dedicated to her volunteer job. “She was just delightful. She was a very sweet lady,” said Rash.

for Helen at the ranch. Tom had a very large gun collection and both he and Helen were competition shooters at one point, said Rash. At the party Rash recalled Tom bragging about his gun collection. “He was showing off his guns,” she said. Estimates that he had 700 guns didn’t sound like an exaggeration, she added. At the party, several members of a gun club were invited and at one point went outside to fire the guns in a salute for Helen’s birthday. As an experienced shooter, Helen seemed comfortable around the guns. However, there were hints that Helen may have felt threatened by Tom, she added. Another volunteer told Rash she had concerns that Tom was abusive. Rash asked the volunteer if she thought Helen was in danger and the volunteer said she wasn’t certain. The last few times Helen came into the store Rash and other volunteers noticed there was a change in her memory. “I did see a hint of Alzheimer’s.” Helen couldn’t remember how to do some of her volunteer work but Rash just told her it was OK and just to sit
Rash said she and the staff were about7806227 eight miles outside of Brenham shocked to hear of the couple’s tragic for about six months a year, she said. passing. Rash said she didn’t know Tom Ryan Tom and Helen lived on a ranch well but once went to a birthday party and have a visit.

Texas friend of Cobourg hospital shooting victim had concerns BY KAREN LONGWELL
Cobourg –One of the women closest to Helen Ryan feared her friend might die at the hands of her husband. Tom and Helen Ryan, as has been widely reported, were both killed after a shooting in Northumberland Hills Hospital around 11 p.m. on Oct. 27. The Special Investigations Unit said Helen suffered a head wound after a gun shot was heard in the emergency room. The couple were brought to the hospital via ambulance after a care worker reportedly called police at Salem Woods Trailer Park east of Colborne that night. They were side-by-side, alone, when the shot was heard. The OPP, who are investigating Helen’s death, have declined to comment further on the case. Tom died after two Cobourg police officers fired their weapons. Faith Kemen, a close friend of Helen’s in Brenham, Texas, said during their 10-year friendship, Helen indicated she might be shot by her husband. “Helen had it in her mind she might go this way,” One of the women closest to Helen Ryan, shown here in photos from FAcebook, feared her friend might die at the hands of her husband. said Kemen. Metroland file photo Asked if Helen was abused, Kemen said she didn’t believe Tom touched her. “She wasn’t abused,” she said. Kemen was shocked Tom managed to get a gun she had some type of a stroke. But, once and a while, Helen would tell her she “Helen wasn’t well,” she said. feared Tom would shoot her, Kemen said. Tom had into the hospital. “They check here,” she said.

community; the tragic event that has taken place is the most severe form of domestic violence,” said Cornerstone executive director Nancy Johnston. “To end family violence, it is imperative to bring the issue further into the open, and let go of the stereotypes and misconceptions that allow people to believe it couldn’t happen to them or here in Northumberland County.” About every six days, a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner, according to Cornerstone. A 2013 Statistics Canada report found women were victims in about 80 per cent of intimate partner violence reported to police and account for 80 per cent of domestic homicide victims. However, the rate of domestic violence is likely much higher than we know, as 70 per cent of spousal violence is not reported to the police. Domestic violence has deep and broad roots, exceeding the confines of culture, economics, race or gender, and defying stereotypes of what an abuser or victim looks like. Although traumatic events like this shock our community, it is important to remember that Northumberland County is no stranger to family and intimate partner violence, according to Cornerstone. Each year, Cornerstone serves thousands of women and children through shelter, counselling and prevention programs. Cornerstone makes every effort to influence, educate and collaborate with the community, while working closely with community partners to connect victims and their families to local services. Cornerstone believes that building and maintaining strategic partnerships with the local and wider communities is essential to meeting the needs of clients. It is through recognizing and understanding the warning signs of abuse that it is possible to change the outcome of such situations before they become fatal. These could include safety planning and support for victims and their families, building awareness and skills for professionals and the community, and focusing on prevention initiatives.
Northumberland Hills Hospital creates plan after deadly shooting Northumberland — The presence of an active shooter inside Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) was new territory for the community hospital, so staff have created a new “go-forward” plan following the deadly incident. Since the shooting in the hospital’s emergency department on Oct. 27, staff have held eight meetings to discuss the incident while highlighting key themes for the future of the hospital, which include: • Support those affected by the incident • Security • Information and communication • Training and education “As hard as it has been to see and express the raw emotions felt after a traumatic incident like the one our hospital experienced on the night of Oct. 27, it has also been helpful to begin the process of releasing some of those emotions,” President and CEO Linda Davis said. “Titles and roles were not relevant to those discussions. It was a chance for us to highlight one common bond: we’re human and we’re hurting, each in our own way, and we need to talk it through.” Ontario’s Special Investigation Unit (SIU) continues to investigate the situation that ended with an elderly couple dead following a shooting inside the Cobourg hospital’s emergency room. The incident began after the couple was admitted to the emergency department for unknown ailments, Jon Ansell, the lead investigator said. The couple was side-by-

side on gurneys in a triage room when a shot was heard after 11 p.m. Ansell explained nurses found an elderly woman with a head wound upon entering the room. Cobourg Police quickly responded and encountered a 70-year-old man. Two officers discharged their firearms and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The hospital resumed regular service in the emergency department the following morning. NHH leadership worked closely this week with Cobourg Police chief Kai Liu, volunteer chaplain Andrew Truter and the hospital’s employee and family assistance provider to facilitate a series of internal
“emotion” debriefings for anyone involved in or affected by the incident. Following discussions, the hospital is offering an “expanded contract with NHH’s existing security provider, G4S Security, to increase NHH coverage to include an additional 24/7 security guard in the (emergency department) beginning this month.” A second action will see the introduction of joint training for staff with local police on what to do to minimize risk if a weapon is discovered in the hospital. Furthermore, the hospital highlighted another theme that emerged during the meetings: gratitude. “As difficult as the past week has been, there is broad agreement that we have much to be grateful for as a hospital team and a community,” Davis said. “At the top of this list is the quick and professional response of the Cobourg Police Service. We see our local police as family and they have told us the feeling is mutual. “We are also grateful for the response of our own team and our partners,” she continued. “Everyone in the building that night and in the hours and days afterward played an important role in our response. “Partners in our community and around the province have also been quick to reach out with offers of help. Patients, friends and colleagues have flooded us with food, coffee and messages of support. “We are grateful for it all.”

LHIN puts hold on Trenton’s Health Hub decision BY ERIN STEWART
Belleville – The decision on where Trenton’s Community Health Hub will be located has been put on hold, for now. The board of the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN) moved a recommendation Monday to hold a meeting for the original Implementation Task Force members, who no longer hold meetings, to inform them of a controversial decision to have the health hub located on Murphy Street – not the preferred location on Catherine Street next to Trenton Memorial Hospital. Since higher-than-recommended contaminants were found in the soil on Catherine Street – with a price tag of $760,000 for remediation – the Belleville and Quinte West Community Health Centre’s (CHC) current location downtown Trenton on Murphy Street became the recommended site, states an SE LHIN release.
The decision sparked concern and disappointment from some task force members including some from Our TMH, resulting in a bus of about 40 Our TMH members to protest and sit in during the open meeting at the SE LHIN offices in Belleville Thursday evening. Paul Huras, CEO at the SE LHIN, said he is concerned about the risks associated with building on Catherine Street, as outlined in an environmental report, commissioned by Quinte Health Care (QHC). The extensive report was completed in August, followed by a risk management report and a subsequent order-of-magnitude costing estimate. Huras said he is concerned about a number of issues, including the timeliness of the project, remediation costs and the cost of ongoing monitoring of the site with possible remediation costs in the future. “I have to measure risk and I have to determine about the risks going forward, and if I think

the risk is too great I’m not going to recommend it going forward,” said Huras. “There’s contaminants in the soil and further investigation is required, that’s a concern for a lot of people right now.” The report stated that limited groundwater data was available, which Huras said is a concern as more time, money and investigation would be needed to complete additional tests. Another issue brought up in the report was the
need for regular monitoring and maintenance of the soil and/or groundwater. With that in mind, Huras said he is concerned about the ongoing additional costs and the potential of additional remediation needed in the future. In order to move the project forward in a timely matter, Huras said the best option is Murphy Street. Story continues on Page 19...
