BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — The Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden has come to fruition, next to the Trent Port Marina in Trenton.

In a celebration with more than 100 people, including Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison, MP Neil Ellis, MPP Lou Rinaldi and MPP Todd Smith, the Friendship Garden was officially unveiled on Saturday May 13.

“It’s kind of overwhelming,” said Donna O’Neil. “Here it is, a tangible lasting remembrance for people to come and relax, that will be here long after we are gone.”

O’Neil said it’s very flattering that so many people came to celebrate the new garden and her late husband.

“People returned the affection and the respect that he had for them, it’s wonderful,” she said.

John Williams, former mayor and cochair of the Friendship Garden committee, said a lot of thought went into the garden and monument, including five life chapter plaques telling the story of O’Neil’s life.

“It’s a real testament to Hugh, what he meant to the area and what he did, it’s just nice to see it all completed and I think people will be very impressed and I know Hugh would be very proud of what’s been accomplished here,” he said.

The name of the garden is very fitting, said Williams.

“He was the guy who was a friend to

a lot of people, whether you’re on one side or the other as far as politics go it didn’t matter, he did so much for the community and everything else so it’s just nice,” he said.

Williams thanked everyone who donated to the garden and the committee for all of their hard work including co-chair Coun. Duncan Armstrong, Wayne Garrison, Norah Buckley, Pat Tripp, Don O’Neill and Sue O’Brien.

Known as an educator, entrepreneur, community volunteer and true family man, O’Neil died in September 2015 at the age of 79 after spending years dedicated to improving the community.

O’Neil was president of Trenton Kiwanis Club, director of the Quinte

In recognition of his contributions during more than 20 years of political life and in particular to honour his significant support to the arts both locally and provincially, the Quinte Provincial Liberal Association established the Hugh P.

Flood warnings continue in Quinte West as Bay of Quinte surpasses record water levels

BY ERIN STEWART

Quinte West — The city of Quinte West issued a flood watch advisory for Quinte West residents as the Bay of Quinte and Lake Ontario reach record high water levels and flood warnings continue.

City staff will continue to monitor areas susceptible to flooding on a regular basis, stated the media release on Friday, May 13, and sand and sandbags will continue to be available at 30 Pelham St. in Trenton at the public works yard and at 96 Wolfe St. in Frankford.

Firefighters and public works staff will be on standby to assist residents when needed, and the city will continue to be in close contact with the agencies involved to monitor water levels over the weekend.

In the latest update issued by the Lower Trent Conservation on Monday, May 15, a flood warning remains in effect for Lake Ontario and Bay of Quinte shoreline from Grafton to Quinte West.

Lake Ontario and Bay of Quinte water levels have surpassed record high levels, stated the Lower Trent Conservation’s update.

The water level measured in Cobourg was 75.77 metres above sea level as of Monday, May 15, which is seven centimetres above the Lake Ontario 100-year flood elevation of 75.70 metres.

The current level surpasses water levels reached in 1973, 1974 and 1993.

Residents living in low-lying and flood-prone shoreline areas should anticipate further water level increases through May and possibly into June.

Surge-related flooding and erosion damages from high waves are possible during periods of onshore winds.

The Trent River flood warning remains in effect from Hastings to Trenton and there continues to be minor flooding on some access roads, backyards and basements in low lying areas along the river.

Water levels and flows in the upstream areas of the Trent River watershed started a slow decline over the weekend. This includes the Burnt and Gull Rivers as well as the Kawartha Lakes.

In the lower section of the river system, water levels on Rice Lake (at Harwood) experienced some slight increases on Saturday and Sunday.

With no significant precipitation predicted in the long-range forecast, it is anticipated water levels will start a gradual decline through the latter part of this week.

Residents living in low-lying, floodplain areas along Rice Lake and the Trent River within the municipalities of Alnwick/Haldimand, Trent Hills and Quinte West should anticipate water levels to begin to stabilize in the next several days.

The Trent-Severn Waterway continues to make daily operational changes at water control structures along the entire river system to manage water levels and flows.

The Quinte West fire department responded to an evening call for help with sandbagging from four homeowners living in the Loyalist Parkway area of Quinte West on Thursday, May 11.

“We’ve been very lucky so far. We’ve only had about four houses last night that the people needed a little bit of a hand,” said fire Chief John Whelan.

“The water had come up and the homeowners were getting very tired. They’re all older people, so they needed the help. We don’t mind helping people that are vulnerable.”

Whelan said the department’s ATVs were put to good use and crews were able to finish the work within a couple of hours.

The fire department continues to monitor water levels throughout the city, said Whelan, and they’re keeping a close eye on the Bay of Quinte water levels near FreshCo, the Trent River north of Frankford and Loyalist Parkway area.

“We pretty well have people out in every area of the city where there’s water, just checking levels daily,” he said.

Quinte West residents with concerns regarding water levels in their area are encouraged to contact the Quinte West fire department dispatch nonemergency line on 613-392-6555 or 613-392-6557.

Residents living in low-lying, flood-prone areas should take actions to protect themselves and their property, stated the Lower Trent Conservation.

Homeowners affected by flooding should also be aware that electrical, well and septic issues may exist.

The public should pay attention to health unit guidelines for ensuring safe drinking water.

Local municipalities are the first to respond to, and assist with, flood emergencies. Residents requiring assistance should contact their local municipality.

If you experience a flood emergency, call 911.

If safe to do so, the public is encouraged to share photos of water concerns in their area via Facebook (@lowertrentconservation) or Twitter (@LowerTrent).

The public is advised to exercise extreme cau-

OPINION

Preposterous times: It’s going to be a long 4 years All the talk of special prosecutors and the like will not bring the man to book. The soap opera will continue and no amount of dysfunction in the White House will make it stop until early 2019 at best. Even though a great deal of damage will have done by then.

Gwynne Dyer been Some of the damage will only affect the United States. Donald Trump doesn’t often violate the Constitution, but he breaks all the unwritten rules that regulate the behaviour of public officials: don’t use your office to enrich yourself, don’t give plum jobs to your relatives, don’t fire the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation because he’s leading an investigation into possibly treasonous behaviour among your close associates.

However, these are domestic American problems, and the American republic will survive them. In four years, or at most eight, Trump will be gone, and more-or-less normal service will resume. But the same recklessness, brought to bear on foreign affairs, may have far bigger consequences.

Most of the concern at the moment is focused on North East Asia where Trump’s scarcely veiled threat to “do something” about North Korea could escalate a long-standing problem into a “major, major conflict”. But most other major players in the North East Asian game are grownups who do not want a nuclear war in their region, so the risk of a calamity there is much smaller than it looks.

The Middle East is more frightening than north east Asia in this context, for half the countries of the regions are already at war one way or another, none of the regimes really feels secure – and Trump has already launched a missile strike against the Syrian regime.

He justified it as retaliation for the alleged use of poison gas by the Assad regime – an allegation that has not been conclusively proved – but most people in the region take it as a sign that he is joining the Sunni side of a region-wide SunniShia war.

This alignment didn’t start with Trump, of course. For more than half a century the United States has seen Saudi Arabia, the effective leader of the Sunni bloc, as its most important ally in the Middle East, and for the past forty years it has regarded Iran as the root of all evil in the region.

Iran is the leader of the Shia bloc. In fact, it is the only big and powerful Shia country. Trump has already expressed hostility towards Iran, and his intentions to abandon the treaty that President Obama signed to contain Iran’s nuclear weapons

ambitions for the next ten years. And on Friday Trump is making his first foreign visit – to Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the defacto ruler of Saudi Arabia and leader of the Sunni bloc.

Although Prince Mohammed is almost forty years younger than Donald Trump, the two men share several striking characteristics. The Saudi Arabian leader (his father, King Salman, is 81 and not fully functional) is not as ignorant as Trump, but the two men are almost twins in temperament. The Prince is just as vain as Trump, just as impulsive, and just as likely to start a fight he can’t finish.

Prince Mohammed’s escalation of Saudi Arabian support for the al Qaeda-linked faction in the Syrian civil war two years ago was the direct cause for the Russian intervention that ultimately saved the Assad regime. His military intervention in Yemen, trying to put the Saudi Arabian-imposed president back into power has led only to an unwinnable war and a looming famine in the country. And he’s up for fighting Iran too.

In an interview broadcast this month on Saudi TV he said: “we will not wait until the battle is in Saudi Arabia. We will work so the battle is in Iran.” Why? Because, according to the Prince, Iran’s leaders are planning to seize Islam’s most sacred city, Mecca, in the heart of Saudi Arabia, and establish their rule over the world’s billion and a half Muslims.

This is paranoid nonsense. Only one tenth of the world’s Muslims are Shia. The only three Muslim countries (out of 50) where they are the majority are Iran, Iraq and tiny Bahrein.

Iran sends troops to help the beleaguered, Shiadominated Assad regime in Syria, and money and weapons to the (Shia) Hezbollah movement in Lebanon. But in the 38 years since the current regime came to power in Tehran, it has never invaded anybody And the notion that it could or would invade Saudi Arabia is simply laughable.

Never-the-less, what matters here are not the facts but what Trump and Prince Mohammed may believe to be the facts. So the prospect of the two men getting together in Riyadh will arouse dread in Iran, and in some other quarters as well.

It’s preposterous to imagine that Saudi Arabia would attack Iran directly or that the United States would encourage Saudi Arabia or pursue such a strategy – or that Russia would let itself be drawn in on the other side. But we do live in preposterous times.

There is no chance that the Republican majority in the US Congress would impeach Donald Trump before the mid-term elections in late 2018 no matter what he does. Unless there is a complete collapse in the Republican vote then, they won’t impeach him either. It’s going to be a long four years.

Trenton – Quinte Access, Trenton Care and Share Food Bank, and Quinte Waste Solution’s household hazardous waste depot are set to have a new home in Quinte West’s old public works building, 30 Pelham St. With the new consolidated public works facility almost complete, Quinte West city council approved the repurposing of the building at the council meeting on Monday May 15.

Chris Angelo, director of public works and environmental services, said the estimated cost of the project is $1.7 million in total.

To start the project, about $400,000 of surplus funds from the consolidated public works facility budget will be put towards the interior renovations for the food bank section of the building, about 4,000 to 5,000 square feet.

Angelo said he’s hoping the interior renovations for the food bank will begin in September or October.

“Hopefully it’s only going to take two or three months to get it done and get them in before the Christmas season,” he said.

The remaining $1.4 million of the budget will be discussed during the 2018

capital budget deliberations.

Al Teal, general manager of the Trenton Care and Share Food Bank, said they are very pleased they will finally have a permanent facility.

“This community is generous and you’ve just seen it, the generosity of the community has spoken in there tonight,” said Teal, after council’s decision.

“That shows how generous our people are and it’s good to have the city council backing what we do because if we didn’t have that support it would be hard to do.”

With 4,000 to 5,000 square feet, Teal said the new location will allow the food bank to better serve the community with new equipment.

“Right now we do mostly staple goods, we’re trying to go into fresh vegetables and fruit all year round, that’s why we’re asking for a walk in cooler and walk in freezer and we have the space to do it now and the community gardens are going to be right out the back door,” he said. “We’re going to have space for everything.”

The new Quinte Access space will allow for indoor vehicle storage, staff facilities and enough office space for future growth.

Yard waste disposal to close at Quinte West’s public works facility

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – With the impending closure of Quinte West’s public works yard at the end of May, Quinte West residents will not be able to drop off yard waste at the Pelham Street facility or the new consolidated facility.

Chris Angelo, director of public works and environmental services, said the new consolidated public works facility will not offer yard waste disposal as Quinte West

council decided it wasn’t appropriate to have at the new facility, located on North Murray Street.

“As a solution we’ve proposed that we’re going to have bins at certain times of the year on the east side and west side of the river so that residents can take their leaf and yard waste and drop it off in these bins,” said Angelo.

The Pelham Street public works yard will be closed in about two to three weeks, said Angelo, after which residents can

take their yard waste to the Frankford Landfill free of charge until the bins are put in place in the fall.

“Until the fall season, then we will have a bin placed on the east side of the river and one on the west side for residents during certain days to accommodate residents,” he said.

The Frankford Landfill site at 1850 Fish and Game Club Rd. is free of charge on Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Tighter septic tank regulations turned down in Ontario

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – The provincial government will not move forward with tighter septic tank regulations, which is good news according to Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison.

Harrison said he received a letter last week from Bill Mauro, Minister of Municipal Affairs and MPP Thunder BayAtikokan, stating to Ministry of Municipal Affairs will not go ahead with proposed regular inspections, pumping out of septic tanks and the keeping of

treatment units and septic tank maintenance records.

The proposed increase of requirements around septic regulations was put forward in phase one of the Building Code consultation process.

“We don’t need anymore government interference in what’s working well, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it,” said Harrison at the Quinte West council meeting on Monday May 15.

“Now there are some issues with septic tanks in various places but they are things

Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates

that should be dealt with by the ministry of environment, and dealt with properly.”

The requirement for owners of septic tanks and treatment units to clean out their systems when the working capacity is one-third full will continue to be in effect.

Since 1998, the provincial Building Code has regulated small on-site septic systems and included maintenance provisions to protect Ontario’s ground and source water for public safety and the protection of lakes and rivers.

Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation celebrates donors

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) wouldn’t be what it is today without the support of generous donors to the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation (TMHF).

To honour its supporters and partners, the foundation celebrated its donors during the annual donor appreciation event at the TMH on Wednesday, May 10.

With more than 100 people in attendance, a heartfelt thank-you was given by Dr. Emma Robinson, Quinte Health Care’s chief of Diagnostic Imaging, for the new radiography X-ray equipment currently being installed in TMH. Trenton resident Jennifer Gagnon, 32, patient of TMH and cancer survivor, also gave a touching testament of the great care she received at TMH during her cancer diagnosis and care.

“It was less busy here, I was exposed to less germs and I was seen immediately or within minutes,” she said. “It was so comforting, and still is, to know that TMH is nearby.

TMH will always be my first choice whenever possible.

“I’d like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for your contributions, which ensure people like me have access to local, excellent services and facilities, because I’m living proof — I’m still here and you never know when you’ll need these services.”

Many names were read out and added to the donor wall, located in TMH’s OR waiting area, to publicly recognize and honour donors.

Andrew McColm and his wife June came from Michigan to attend the donor appreciation event, in honour of Andrew’s parents Kitty and Ken McColm, who were added to the benefactor wall.

“Both of my parents were big supporters of the hospital. My brother and I were born here, they lived in Trenton most of their lives, so it was a big part of their lives and my mother was a volunteer here for more than 40 years,” said Andrew McColm.

June said her mother-in-law was

dedicated to her volunteer work at the hospital before she died in June 2016, so it was important for the family to see their names unveiled on the benefactor donor wall.

“She was part of the auxiliary, she worked in the gift shop, so we had to be here today,” she said.

Wendy Warner, executive director of the TMHF, said the donor appreciation event is always an absolutely amazing day.

“This is our favourite day of the year because this is the one day where we have the opportunity to say thank-you to everybody that supports us,” she said.

“We’re simply a vehicle for people to show their support for the hospital, and for the staff that provide their care.”

After two challenging years fighting to retain the services at TMH, Warner said the future looks very

bright, and they have a long list of medical equipment needed to enhance the hospital and services.

“There’s so many new things on the horizon: it was announced today they’re looking at an expansion to our medical day clinic, they have hired a new orthopaedic surgeon that will be doing a lot of foot and ankle surgery that’s outpatient here, based in Trenton, they’re looking at the dialysis unit coming, so things are very, very positive for us,” she said.

The foundation’s list of needed equipment includes an ultrasound at a price of $168,000, hospital beds ranging from $8,000-$15,000, lasers needed for ophthalmology with a price tag of $90,000 and $160,000, vein-finders at about $9,000, and next year’s list will include a new CT scan at a price of $1.3 million.

BY MARTIN DURKIN

Trenton – The 13th annual Invisible Ribbon Gala was held at the National Air Force Museum of Canada (NAFMC) as the Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) celebrated 25 years within the Trenton military community.

About 270 guests came out to help celebrate the milestone including Chief of Defense Staff General Jonathon Vance and his wife Kerry, who was also the keynote speaker for the evening.

Mrs. Vance, who is an attorney and a retired Colonel from the United States Army, is highly recognized as an advocate for military families.

“They are the heart of a community, they provide military families and service members with the strength do what their country asks them to do and to support those who serve,” said Kerry as she and General Vance enjoyed some time with guests in the VIP section before the dinner.

Communications and Development Co-coordinator for the MFRC, Devon Taylor, was not only pleased with the turn out but also was encouraged to hear the strong backing words from Vance, as the MFRC expands into Belleville to help serve military members and their families further.

“Hearing that coming from Mrs. Kerry Vance, that’s fantastic,” said Taylor as the Piper gave out the 10-minute dinner warning. “It just goes to show you that the MFRC is recognized

and supported from the very top level of the military of the Canadian Armed Forces, right down to the families and the MFRC services who are on the grounds supporting the families everyday.”

Throughout the evening, guests were invited to bid on auction items found around the museum, as well as take part in a live auction. 100% of the net proceeds from this year’s gala will be dedicated to Phase 2 of the expansion project, delivering essential MFRC programs and services in Belleville and Frankford.

“It was a great turnout, it’s so nice to see the friendly faces of our supporters and sponsors and some new faces which means we’re reaching new people in the community which is fantastic.” said Taylor. “25 years means everything to us. We want to always be the ones who are meeting the needs of the military community, which is why we are trying to adapt and build our programs around what our military families need, and we are aspiring to meet those unique challenges.”

In total, $139,108 was raised including a $25,000 cheque presented by 8 Wing Trenton.

The Trenton MFRC will host a grand opening of their new Belleville location in June 2017 and registration for licensed child care at that site is now open to military families. General registration will be open to the public before July 2017.

Quinte West Walk for Alzheimer’s raises more than $13,000

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — Dedicated Alzheimer’s supporters came together to raise more than $13,000 for the seventh annual Quinte West Walk for Alzheimer’s, this year at Centennial Park in Trenton, May 13.

Leslie MacDonald was one of the dedicated supporters who raised a whopping $3,043 for the cause, more than any other person.

“Tomorrow I’ll start fundraising again for next year, people give me their liquor bottles and I go to the beer store to cash them in,” said MacDonald. “I just put in on Facebook and the month before I put blue in

my hair and I tell them why my hair is blue.”

Every year MacDonald said she dons blue streaks in her hair and wears her Alzheimer’s T-shirt out and about to raise awareness and funds to support the Alzheimer Society Hastings-Prince Edward.

“Five years ago my husband and I walked for my aunt who was a school teacher and she had Alzheimer’s and the next year my husband was diagnosed and died with Alzheimer’s so it’s just my way of giving back to the Alzheimer’s Society,” she said.

Wearing her T-shirt with a photo of her husband on it, MacDonald said

giving back to the Alzheimer’s Society is now one of her missions in life.

“I’m pumped being here, I couldn’t even hardly sleep last night,” she said.

“Last year I was top fundraiser and it was $2,800 and I just tried to make a dollar more.”

Amelia Huffman, fund development co-ordinator for the Alzheimer’s Society of Hastings-Prince Edward, said MacDonald’s contribution of $3,048 is more than any individual fundraiser has ever raised.

“We’re very honoured to have her support, she’s been fundraising for years and years, very dedicated supporter and we wouldn’t be able to have this event without her support, $3,000 of the $13,000 is from her which is amazing,” she said.

The Quinte West walk was a great success, said Huffman, surpassing the $10,000 goal and it was the first time the walk was held outdoors in Trenton.

“It’s part of a national move toward outdoor unified walks across the country in May and June, so this is our first local walk for Quinte West so we’re very excited, as well as spread-

Museum’s education programs is a hit

BY MARTIN DURKIN

Quinte West – Gina HeinbockelBolik, the education programmer and volunteer coordinator, for the National Air Force Museum is making education programs fun, exciting and more popular than ever.

With five years under her belt at the museum, Bolik originally came to the museum after teaching at Foreign Affairs in Ottawa, working with ambassadors. When her husband, a Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) member was posted to Trenton, she decided to answer a job posting at the museum when work in her field was hard to come by in the surrounding area.

Bolik grew up in Germany and has an undergraduate degree from the University of Germany. When she came to Canada, she continued her education with a Masters in German linguistics from Carleton University and a Masters in medieval studies from the University of Toronto. When it came time to earn her PhD, she decided to hold off since by now, she was also a full time mother of two.

“For the most part, I love this job,” says Bolik. “I think in the beginning, the challenge was getting to know the volunteers. But I can’t run the programs just by myself. I am dependant on volunteer support and of course, when you are new, you have to build trust and you have to know what the

volunteers can do as well.”

Her educational programs can be adapted for every grade, and some were already created when she arrived, though most she has had to re-vamp or create from scratch.

“All of our programs have to fit in with the mandate of the museum itself,” explains Bolik who says the program she is most proud of is, The Great Escape exhibit, which she created from the ground up.

Offering programs for kindergartenerss in French, including a French Hercules tour, Bolik says most of the students come in from the local school board, but she is hoping that the Limestone School Board will also want to start sending children. Some of the furthest schools that come in are from west of London Ontario, Brampton and Markham.

“It’s very interesting to see that schools want to travel here from that far,” explained Bolik.

During the summer months, Bolik is always busy preparing programs for outside summer camps who want to bring their groups in for a day to visit. Usually about eight camps come through during the two months, and naturally never one group a week but rather, in clumps, which means, depending on the camp, Bolik has to have eight separate sessions ready to go, with eight sets of volunteers on hand.

“We also have the summer air cadets in Trenton and about 80 kids from the YMCA,” says Bolik.

With camps coming as far away as Bobcaygeon, she has learned to work with maximum flexibility, hoping that each group goes home with a greater interest in museums.

“I hope they get an appreciation for museums in general, understanding the mandate, but I hope they walk away saying, ‘this is a fun place to come to’,” says Bolik. “I hope they learn a little bit about the Canadian Air Force, learning about the science that makes planes fly and have fun.”

Bolik also works with camps in the local region as much as possible, though she admits because of changeovers year to year, sometimes it may take a while for camps from the previous year to return.

“I work with certain organizations, so for example, I had the city of Belleville come for a few years and then all of a sudden they don’t come anymore and you have to ask yourself, why is this,” says Bolik. “Often camps are run by summer staff and when the staff changes over, I don’t necessarily know who they hired for the year or who is in charge, so you don’t always get an answer back,” Bolik explained hoping communication would soon change.

ing awareness about our Finding your Way and Project Lifesaver initiatives in Quinte West,” she said.

Funds will help support Alzheimer Society Hastings-Prince Edward’s programs Finding Your Way and Project Lifesaver.

Quinte West OPP Const. Matt Palmer was on hand at the Alzheimer’s walk to answer questions and give information about Project Lifesaver, a partnership between the Alzheimer Society and Quinte West OPP.

Participants in the program wear a personalized wristband that emits a tracking signal and the Quinte West OPP have the equipment and specialized training to respond and utilize a mobile-location tracking system to assist in search efforts when people wander.

“In an area where we have an aging population and a large retirement community, it’s really important to get those tools and tips out to people,” said Huffman.

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – At six-foot-eight, Blake Sheerhoorn is hard to miss.

And the City of Belleville certainly noticed his outstanding season on the volleyball court – even thought it took place on the other side of the country.

Scheerhorn was named the Robinson-Kelleher Memorial Award winner for 2016, at a ceremony at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre on Wednesday, May 10.

The award goes to city’s top amateur athlete of the year.

Scheerhoorn’s parents picked up the award on his behalf, because he’s currently training with the Canadian national men’s volleyball team.

Scheerhoorn, a graduate of Quinte Christian High School and its renowned volleyball team, recently helped the Trinity Western Spartans to a second-straight Canadian university men’s volleyball championship title.

They won the title by going undefeated in the post-season, finishing with a 3-1 victory over the host Alberta Golden Bears in Edmonton.

As a second-year outside player,

Scheerhoorn put up some impressive numbers for the Langley, B.C.based school.

In 24 matches, he had 224 kills, averaging 2.41 kills per set. He also had 13 service aces on the year.

Scheerhoorn is now hoping to land a roster spot on the national team, as it prepares to compete in the 2020 summer Olympic games in Tokyo.

G-Hawks fall as Cobras de Terrebonne bounce back at RBC

BY ERIN STEWART

Cobourg — The Trenton Golden Hawks couldn’t hold onto a 2-0 lead and ultimately fell to the Cobras de Terrebonne 3-2 on Sunday May 14 at the RBC Cup in Cobourg.

The Hawks came out strong and scored two goals in the first period, putting up 18 shots on goal to the Cobras’ eight.

Chris Sekelyk scored the team’s first goal unassisted two minutes into the game and Anthony Sorrentino contributed the second at 15:50, assisted by Sekelyk.

After trailing 2-0 for two periods, the Cobras’ comeback was quick and steady at the beginning of the third with three goals scored within five minutes.

Chad Pietroniro scored the game winner at 6:38 and Gabriel Paquin and Pierre-Anthony Martineau contributed the team’s previous two goals.

Trenton’s goaltender Chris Janzen saved 24 of 27 shots and the Cobras’ Jeremy Belisle saved 35 of 37 shots.

The G-Hawks got off to a poor start at the 2017 Royal Bank Cup, National Jr. A Championship, falling 3-2 in overtime to the host team Cobourg Cougars on Saturday May 13.

Co-captain Lucas Brown said they have a deep hole to dig themselves out of now.

“We let things get away from us there,” said Brown, following the game against the Cobras.

“That’s unacceptable, a kind of tournament like this everyone should be ready for that and that’s what happens when you take teams lightly.”

Brown said it’s a frustrating loss but they will do their best to bounce back.

“I know the group of guys we have right now, we can get out of the hole,” he said. “It’s a tough one because obviously Brooks and Penticton are two very good teams that we’re going to have to battle against but if we bring our ‘A’ game like I know we can for a full 60 then I think we have a good chance.”

As of Monday May 15, the Hawks were at the bottom of the standings with one point.

Brooks Bandits were ranked first with five points and the Cobras, Penticton Vees and Cobourg all had three points..

After the print edition deadline, the Hawks played the Brooks Bandits at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday May 16.

Game four will see the Hawks vs. Penticton Vees at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday May 17.

The semifinals will be on Saturday May 20 and the championship game will be at 5 p.m. on Sunday May 21.

Teachers go the extra mile for Relay for Life

BY MARTIN DURKIN

Students at École élémentaire publique Cité-Jeunesse in Trenton recently had a blast as two teachers agreed to have their heads shaved.

Grade one teacher Margaret Doyon-Nadeau, came up with an idea to have a Relay for Life at the French public schools on the military base in Trenton. A relay participant in Quebec, Nadeau wanted to continue the tradition here in Ontario.

“I used to walk it back in Que-

bec City, with my friend who had cancer when she was 22 and for my grandfather who is also a cancer survivor,” said Nadeau.

Students were quickly on board and an incentive was given to help raise funds. The total goal is to raise $15,000 for the May 26 relay at Marc Garneau park. Along the way teachers have agreed to participate in events such as head shaving, hair dying, and for the male teachers, leg waxing if certain goals are reached. At $10,000, Nadeau agreed to have

her head shaved in front of the school, with her students each getting a chance to slice some of her locks off. $12,600 was quickly reached.

Also at the head shaving event, another teacher agreed to take part in having her head meet the razor. Teacher Madame MariePier, was the first lady to go in front of the school, and it was her son that had the honours of removing the hair.

However, this moment inside the gymnasium wasn’t just for

the students to see their teachers fulfill their promise, for Pier and her son Nicolas, it was something much more special.

Now a grade four student, Nicolas is a cancer survivor. Diagnosed last year, he is currently in remission.

Nadeau was the second teacher up, and each student delighted in getting their chance in using the scissors on their now, favourite teacher.

“I’ve given my hair to cancer two times when it was long

enough, but this is the first time shaving, so I don’t know what I’ll look like, I’ve never seen my head!” Said Nadeau.

The May 26 event will be a bilingual and military event.

Participants will take to the field from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. and everyone is welcome to come out and cheer the students on.

If you would like to help with the cause either financially or by participating in the 12-hour relay, call the school and ask for Nadeau.

These students from Pinecrest School, Bloomfield, were among the participants at Friday night’s school closure meeting at West Lake. Jack Evans/Metroland in his township, “there are 19 errors in the report positively identified.”

“Speed kills,” said one speaker. “Let’s slow down, maybe close a school or two every few years, not 600 all at once.”

One parent from Sophiasburgh Ward in Prince Edward related a detailed effort by parents to present optional uses for their school. They included a cooking school for the community but would require volunteers and they would all have to have police checks. “I am a police officer and I still need a check,” she said. One speaker spoke about a rural school near Kingston where in recent years the community partnered with the school to create a local library for general use.

“Our school is targeted to close. What happens to the books?” the woman asked.

One man described the whole exercise as a “farce,” suggesting that decisions are being forced from the top down. One trustee, Tom Mahoney from Centre Hastings, said he was given two large binders of background details and expected to make a decision at the next board meeting. Several parents insisted their demands for detailed information and suggestions were consistently ignored. One was told that to get the information they required would cost over $126,000.

Lack of information was one of the main concerns voiced

during the meeting. A number of students from Pinecrest School, Bloomfield, also targeted to close, attended, as did Todd Smith, the MPP for Hastings-Prince Edward.

Smith, a member of the Opposition Progressive Conservative Party, questioned the ministry’s motives for the sessions, affirming that every MPP in Ontario is well aware of concerns by municipal politicians, school administrations, teachers, parents and students and well prepared to advise them.

He said the closure program in his riding will involve hundreds of jobs in support services to start with.

Another consistent concern was the concept of using Kindergarten through Grade 12 schools, to make more efficient use of properties. Parents were concerned at safety and wisdom with no background knowledge of how they would work.

(The K-12 system has been used in Australia for many years, where residents report it effective and how all ages of siblings help look after and monitor each other.) The din in the crowded hall during plenary table sessions was like a classroom out of control at times, but most tables reported consensus on many issues. But it was not the kind of consensus the ministry wanted to hear. If there’s such a thing as the mythical Pandora’s box, the ministry appears to have opened it up.

MPP Smith slams Liberals after leaked hydro document surfaces

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – A leaked government document obtained by The Toronto Star suggests hydro rates are sure to rise even more in the coming years.

It’s more fodder for Prince-Edward Hastings Member of Provincial Parliament Todd Smith to shun the ruling Liberal government on, as Smith is the energy critic for the Opposition Progressive Conservative Party.

The document says rates will start rising 6.5 per cent a year in 2022 and top out at 10.5 per cent in 2028, when average monthly bills hit $215.

The plan also means the return of the Debt Retirement Charge – under a slightly different name, starting in 2025, according to Smith.

This upward trends of rates would also essentially negate the 25per cent hydro rate cut the Liberal government approved for this summer, upon hearing from Ontarians that hydro rates are too high and hampering the economy.

“When the government came out with their scheme, we knew that they weren’t fixing the underlying problems with the system and they were just creating a large debt and hiding MPP Todd Smith speaks at a recent meeting. Smith is the energy critic for the PCs. it at Ontario Power Generation,” File photo Smith said in a statement. “They’ll record levels.” company through monthly hydro Charge, was taken off bills at the use it to subsidize rates until we get Ontarians paid off debt accumu- bills for several years until the fee, start of 2016. through the next election, at which But Smith believes it’s making a point hydro rates start going back to lated by the former Ontario Hydro known as the Debt Retirement

comeback in 2026 and will be four times the size of the old charge by 2028, at more than $21 on every bill.

“The return of the Debt Retirement Charge tells you all you need to know about how the Liberals view peoples’ hydro bills.” Smith added. “They don’t think this is a problem for people’s pocketbooks, they think this is a problem for their re-election chances. A $21 Debt Retirement Charge is five times as big as the charge was the last time it was on your bill.”

The leaked papers overshadowed Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault’s efforts to tout the price break, which will be followed with four years of hydro rate increases at 2 per cent, roughly the rate of inflation.

Thibeault charged that the Conservatives used an “outdated” document to distract from the fact that they are the only major party without a plan for dealing with skyrocketing hydro rates, with a year to go until next June’s provincial election.

“It’s not a coincidence,” he told reporters, denying any plans for an eventual 10.5-per-cent rate hike and promising the government’s new long-term energy plan, due in a few months, will have better numbers.

“We are working hard right now to continue to pull costs out of the system.”

TRAVEL

BY JOHN M. SMITH

Another Dozen of Canada’s Great National Parks

Last summer, I wrote a piece in which I listed a dozen of Canada’s great national parks, and I mentioned that, in celebration of our 150th birthday celebrations in 2017, our national parks would be free. Well, that time has now arrived, so this might be the perfect summer to explore some of these. In my previous travel piece, I wrote about these national parks: Banff, Cape Breton Highlands, Fundy, Gros Morne, Jasper, Kluane, Point Pelee, Prince Albert, Prince Edward Island, Thousand Islands, Wapusk, and Wood Buffalo.

Well, just in case that dozen isn’t enough for you, here’s another dozen of our most interesting, worthwhile national parks: 1 Bruce Peninsula: This fascinating Ontario park is located

near Tobermory and along the Georgian Bay coastline. It’s on a section of the Niagara Escarpment that’s adorned with intriguing caves and cliffs. Visitors will want to check out its most popular attraction, the Grotto, for it’s a big cave that was carved out by the waves of Georgian Bay over thousands of years, and it’s possible to walk along an edge inside its cavity.

2 Forillon: Quebec’s first national park is located on the tip of the Gaspe Peninsula, and it offers almost vertical cliffs along its rugged shoreline. Seal colonies and a plethora of seabirds find shelter here. The peninsula’s most prominent feature is a lighthouse that rises high above the St. Lawrence, the Pointe-au-Pere National Historic Site, and it guides boats past the formidable

headland.

3 Georgian Bay Islands: Comprised of several islands and islets, this small park is part of an archipelago that stretches along the eastern shoreline of Georgian Bay. The park is only accessible by water, so a kayak or a canoe would give you the ability to explore many of the inlets and bays at your leisure. However, the park’s own passenger vessel, the Day Tripper, is available, as well as water taxis operated by local marinas, and there are boat tours that will allow you to view even more of the area’s 30,000 islands.

4 Glacier: Many snow-capped mountain peaks and a bevy of avalanche slopes can be seen from the portion of the Trans Canada Highway that bisects this park. For me, several years

some of the smaller ones.

6 Nahanni: This is yet another National Park Reserve, and this one is located in the southwest corner of the Northwest Territories. The centerpiece of this park is the Nahanni River, with its awesome canyons and treacherous rapids. The South Nahanni River itself twists through the park for 320 km., past three immense canyons, boiling hot springs, icy caves, and soaring mountains. If this isn’t enough, there’s also Virginia Falls – but if you’re paddling, don’t miss the portage, for this spectacular falls plummets almost twice as far down as Niagara Falls!

7 Pacific Rim: This is yet another National Park Reserve, and it’s made up of three separate regions (Long Beach, the Broken Group Islands, and the West Coast Trail). It’s renowned for its lush rainforests and rugged coastline, and it’s located along the southwest corner of Vancouver Island. I spent my time in the most accessible and popular region of this park reserve, Long Beach. It’s the coastal area located between the villages of Ucluelet and Tofino, and it has the most extensive sand dune/beach area found on all of Vancouver Island.

8 Quttinirpaaq: This park, the name of which translates as “the top of the world”, is our northernmost, located in Nunavut, on the northeastern corner of Ellesmere Island. It’s also our second largest (after Wood Buffalo National Park), and it offers a rugged wilderness and isolation. You’ll probably have a lot of wide open space to yourself, so travel prepared. It’s even a requirement that all visitors must register and attend a mandatory orientation session with park staff prior to entering this remote park.

ago, the highlight was cycling through the park’s awesome Rogers Pass. Looking back now, it’s hard to believe that I was able to pedal through this very challenging park, stopping at the Rogers Pass National Historic Site at the summit. I had begun that morning in Revelstoke and cycled through the park, including several snow tunnels, and on to Golden in one day. What an accomplishment!

5 Gulf Islands: This is one of Canada’s Park Reserves in the system of national parks and park reserves, and it’s located between Vancouver Island and the mainland of British Columbia. The larger islands, including Mayne, Saturna, North Pender, and South Pender, are accessible by ferry, but you’ll need your own kayak or canoe to reach

“JONAH” May 23-25

Manitoba Escarpment, stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding prairie farmland. Route #10 cuts through this park, and there are over 400 km. of trails available for hikers, horse riders, and mountain bikers.

10 Torngat Mountains: This is our newest national park and Labrador’s first. It’s yet another remote park, so registration with park officials is mandatory. It’s a land of mountains, glaciers, caribou, and polar bears, and there are no roads or campgrounds. In fact, Parks Canada recommends that a visitor engage the services of a trained Inuit polar bear guard when hiking in this park.

11 Waterton Lakes: It’s located in southwest Alberta, next to Montana’s Glacier National Park, so the two destinations are often visited together. I can remember being greeted by a snow storm on my visit to this area one July! However, it can also be very warm here in the summer. It just depends. I’d recommend a drive on its Red Rock Parkway, especially during peak wildflower season. At the end of the road, a short hike will take you through a pine forest to Blakiston Falls – or a longer trail will lead you to Goat Lake (where mountain goats are often visible).

12 Yoho: This park is located in southeastern British Columbia, in the Canadian Rockies.

Its name comes from the Cree word for “awe”, and that’s certainly appropriate when you see its majestic snow-capped mountains, glacial lakes, and glaciercarved valleys.

The Trans Canada Highway cuts through this park, and I used this route on my bicycle trip through the Rockies. My climb from Field through the Kicking Horse Pass was my toughest! Be sure to stop at the Spiral Tunnel Overlook. You might even get a glimpse of the Rocky Mountaineer from here!

of the growers/breeders in Holland to have developed the Canada 150 tulips so quickly and, coincidently, just in time to sell millions more of these beautiful flowers to Canada. A titch cynical, after the fact, but easily shown to be just not so. The Good Earth Column, Vol 10 No 37, “Celebrate Canada with Tulips, was published in September of last year. That particular topic was covered off with a discussion of how a serendipitous rebranding from Happy Generation to Canada 150 enhanced Canadian gardeners opportunities to display their horticultural patriotism- as well as enhancing the grower’s bottom line. Sigh! I was almost right. If we just look at the flower, then I’m close enough to right to invoke Spock’s maxim: a difference that makes no difference is no difference. Unfortunately, close enough isn’t close enough. (The accompanying photo, from our own garden is not a Canada 150 tulip, it is a Canada Celebration tulip.)

There are/were two different tulips, with very, very similar flowers, being marketed in conjunction with Canada’s sesquicentennial celebrations. The first is the Carnaval de Rio. This is the one officially renamed and

made the mistake of stopping when I mis-read the promo from one of the Dutch promoters. I wrote my article and moved on.

I revisited the topic after reading several current articles where opinions are expressed but little corroborative research had been done. It is clear that not all of the tulips are as advertised and I wanted to work this out. I was very busy trekking through the KAVB tulip registrations when I came across an article written by Robert Pavlis, also published last year.

I firmly believe that while one might justify spending time improving the wheel, it is a waste of time re-inventing it. IN that spirit, after reading Mr. Pavlis’ research results, I stopped looking.

And this time, I am very confident that all has been explained.

By the way, Gentle Reader, you might want to check out Robert’s Aspen Grove Gardens in the Guelph area.

Climate change endangers health, says QHC’s Dr. Z.

BY JACK EVANS

Belleville – Apart from any other considerations, climate change is a definite threat to human health, says Dr. Dick Zoutman, chief of medical staff for Quinte Health Care.

At a recent luncheon for Belleville General Hospital Foundation, Zoutman said there are no longer any solid arguments against climate change and many impacts are already being felt, including human health hazards.

These, he said, will continue to increase as climate change progresses. Today’s generation will probably not notice much, but “our children and grandchildren will certainly be impacted,” he said. The “incredible” gains made by science for health protection

over the past 50 years are already being eroded and this will increase in direct proportion to warming climate.

Because of warmer temperatures, more of North America will be home to mosquitos carrying such deadly diseases as malaria, zika and dengue.

For the latter, dengue-carrying mosquitos have already been identified just across the Great Lakes in New York and other states. Poor people and poor nations will be the first to suffer and suffer the most, he said. But the change will create a snowball effect of human perils - safe and adequate drinking water will be affected; extreme weather conditions, cold, hot, drought and flood will get worse; loss of shoreline lands and food

resources will lead to mass migrations and probably human conflicts.

Canadians have been told for years that we have a great track record for low carbon emissions and clean air policies. In fact, he countered, “on a per capita basis, we are second to the United States and above Australia and New Zealand.”

Heavy loss of polar ice caps, already experienced, will lead to still higher levels of sea water and more warming of the oceans, which will naturally expand as heated. Loss of fish for food will be experienced as will loss of many wildlife species, birds and mammals, like polar bears. Higher temperatures will make it extremely difficult, probably impossible,

for heavy outdoor labour for needed projects. Frostbite, heat stroke, heart and lung diseases and problems will increase.

Even if disease-carrying mosquitos might not be right in Canada, they will be where many Canadians tend to go for holidays, exposing them to the disease, he added.

He urged the generous audience to get involved in a personal way, using energy conservation, alternative en-

ergy sources, like solar panels, more walking or bicycling and eating less meat. “It is better that people get that grain nutrition directly rather than feeding it to animals,” he contended. He challenged the audience as individuals to adopt three meatless days a week, suggesting Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

“Who’s in?” he asked, to an obviously underwhelming response.

Finally, both he and Drew

Brown, CEO of the hospital foundation, plugged for continued support and generosity.

“No matter how much good news for hospitals was in the last provincial budget, the truth is, the province will not pay for equipment,” they agreed, arguing that the latest and best technology often leads to saved lives.

Hastings County’s new community and human services director has busy first meeting

BY JACK EVANS

Belleville – Introduced as Hastings County’s new director of Community and Human Services for her first meeting of the Social Services committee last week was Erin Rivers.

She has been an employee of the county for many years and filled in during the absence of former director Steve Gatward for some weeks a few years ago.

Rivers told the meeting she was “delighted” with her promotion and pledged to continue to follow the county’s policies of helping all of its residents. She added that she hopes to provide more pertinent details of activities of her department in the months ahead.

That promise was quickly called in by Belleville council representative Paul Carr, who asked for more specific details on a report of employment placements which was before committee members, to which River promptly pledged to provide in future.

Carr was asking for details about education status and training needs for employers and opportunities for workers.

The report showed a significant decline in the welfare caseload for April, from around 3,200 to around 2,900. It also specified employment connections the department pro-

cessed: 99 jobs filled with an average wage of $13.32 per hour. Of those jobs, 35 per cent were in the retail sector, 20 per cent were in manufacturing, 30 per cent were in general labour and 10 per cent were in administrative fields plus. Five per cent were in trades.

Rivers’ appointment as Gatward’s successor was actually announced at the last county council meeting in April.

Hastings County eager for new provincially funded social programs

BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County’s Community and Social Services committee last week was quick to support an application under the new provinciallyfunded Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centres program.

New department director Erin Rivers called it “exciting “ after hearing a presentation from staffer Sheleena Forfar outlining the new program.

She explained that services for children have been operating under four different provincial programs.

Only two of those have been available in Hastings County and neither one is available throughout the entire county. The new program combines all four into one 100-per cent provincially-funded program for which the application deadline has now been extended until the end of September.

Already, Forfar reported, she and her group have done extensive consultation on the needs and data required to submit an application. The new program is targeted to kick in on Jan. 1, 2018.

The funding, she said, will come through the Ministry of Education.

The goal, she explained is to “ensure that children and their parents and caregivers have access to the same suite of high-quality, core services

regardless of where they live in Hastings County.”

The proposal passed unanimously, although it drew a comment from Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline about how the ministry can find funds for such a new program when it has to close so many schools to the detriment of many communities.

Another program which remains to be costed, will have some budget impact, but still drew solid support to be recommended to county council.

The program is called Home for Good, and it provides subsidies for local governments to improve access to proper shelter for homeless people.

A video presentation included statements from various officials confirming the need for such, including Belleville Fire Chief Mark MacDonald , Police Chief Ron Gignac and county CAO Jim Pine, who referred to the county’s tradition of working on behalf of all of its resident and argued it was a great opportunity to solve a serious problem affecting all areas of the county. “Let’s get it done,” he said in the video.

Committee Chair, Belleville Coun.

Garnet Thompson, urged support for the project, stressing that it is an “important initiative. We don’t want homeless people on our streets,” he said.

Campbellford sports community goes to bat for kids after theft of minor softball equipment

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – Within hours of posting on their Facebook page that their equipment had been stolen, members of the community immediately went to bat for the Campbellford Minor Softball Association (CMSA).

Learning of the break-in and theft of team equipment the day before the season was set to start on May 15, Amy-Jo Doherty, president of the CMSA said, “this was not how I wanted to spend Mother’s Day evening.”

Putting it out there on social media she posted, “this past week in the midst of setting teams up and getting everyone on the field you as members of our sports organization have been robbed. Our equipment shed was broken into, vandalized and equipment taken. The equipment stolen was to be used by our teams and

players as they took to the field this week. Their first practice was Sunday night and the first game tonight (May 15).”

She thinks there were four bags of equipment in their lockup packed with everything from several bats to helmets, shin pads and more. Some of the teams already have their equipment, “so we’re not without anything.”

Whoever stole the equipment left the bags and each had a tag on them with the name of the team. “They left the tags behind too.”

Doherty said the response from the community was immediate.

“When I got back to work this morning the Trent Hills Soccer Club was here waiting with $1,000. They had received a grant from JumpStart,” she said.

and Treasurer Janice Mirabelli handed her the cheque on Monday.

“Our local Canadian Tire has offered to help us replace things at cost,” said Doherty, whose energy and optimism soon became evident.

“I’m trying to look at this in a positive way.

In the realm of things there’s a really good story happening here. People in this town have each other’s back,” she noted.

“We are asking for you to be on the lookout for any bats, helmets, chest protectors, shin pads and catcher helmets. If you find any of these please contact Amy-Jo Doherty. No questions will be asked,” she stated on the association’s

facebook page.

“We ask for your patience as we scramble to replace as much as we can. We would also like patrons to know that we will be monitoring the equipment shed and cameras will be in place,” she wrote.

“This act of stealing is truly heartbreaking as the ones it is affecting are our players, the youth of our community. We ask for your assistance in locating the missing equipment. Several volunteers gave up their evenings in order to ensure that players had the right equipment to play with.”

Hastings County to donate old ambulances to Loyalist College Hastings County’s regional services committee has recommended to county council that it make a gift to the Emergency Paramedic program at Loyalist College.

The gift will comprise of one old ambulance with no transmission used for parts to make an interior box for study purposes, plus a second retired ambulance past its service days for full-vehicle education.

The value of the package is $8,000, and supplements a similar gift to the college’s original course at its Bancroft campus.

The course was so successful last year it is being expanded to the main campus at Belleville.

Emergency Medical Services Chief

Warkworth

Art in the Park

Doug Socha said the course has special value both for the community and for the EMS for recruits and strongly endorsed the college’s request, which was in turn adopted by the committee as a recommendation to council at a recent meeting.

Also recommended to council was an agreement with Algonquin College to help train placement students in emergency services.

Noting that the service has reduced response times throughout its two-county territory despite a sharp increase in call numbers drew a hearty compliment from Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline, who has been critical of response times, specifically for his community, on several occasions.

What is immunotherapy?

Our immune system has the ability to find and destroy cancer cells. But cancer cells can sometimes hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed. Cancer cells may also stop the immune system from working properly. Immunotherapy helps to strengthen or restore the immune system’s ability to fight cancer.

How immunotherapy works The immune system defends and protects our bodies from infection and disease. It’s made up of organs, special cells and substances that work together to find and fight germs such as viruses or bacteria or abnormal or unhealthy cells that cause disease such as cancer.

Germs and cancer cells have molecules on their surface that trigger the immune system to find and destroy them. But some cancer cells can hide from the immune system because they look a lot like normal cells. In some cases, the immune system may find cancer cells, but it isn’t strong enough to destroy all of them. And some cancer cells can even change how the immune system responds so it doesn’t work properly.

The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) funds a number of researchers who study immunotherapy. For example:

Dr Réjean Lapointe from the Centre de recherche du CHUM in Quebec is developing a gel to improve immunotherapy. Dr Lapointe and his team developed a gel to target and release cancer-fighting immune cells at just Immunotherapy boosts the immune system or the right spot. Further developments could helps the immune system to find cancer and attack greatly benefit people with cancer. it. Immunotherapy is used to: Dr John Bell from the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute is studying how cancer-killing viruses • stop or slow the growth of cancer • stop cancer from spreading to other parts of the attack tumour blood vessels. With his team, Dr Bell showed that a tumour’s overproduction of body • help the immune system work better to destroy a certain protein can allow oncolytic viruses to infect and destroy the tumour’s blood cells. The cancer cells • deliver toxins,such as radiation or chemotherapy, levels of this protein may help predict which patients will respond better to therapy with directly to cancer cells oncolytic viruses.
