CFB Trenton - Mental health isn’t something to be ashamed of and is a discussion worth having says 56-year-old Clay Williams. To help bring awareness and to raise funds for the cause, the Waterloo, Ont. resident once again launched his Canal Pursuit run in honour of the Mood Disorders Society of Canada (MDSC) – a national, not-for-profit organization for those suffering from mental health issues. “This year we’re doing it as a relay to get more people involved and we’ve broken it up into 10-kilometre segments,” he said, adding that more than 50 volunteers signed up for this year’s run. The lengthy trek started in Port Severn on August 25 as runners made their way along the Trent Severn Waterway and will continue onto the Rideau Canal in hopes of reaching Ottawa by September 1. During this year’s 785-killometre marathon, the relay team made a stop at Bain Park in Quinte West to pick up the CFB Trenton team that took part in a portion of the relay on Tuesday, Aug. 29. 24 Health Services Commanding Officer Major Rochelle Heudes said it was a great opportunity for her team to take part in the relay since they were strong advocates of mental health awareness. “Let’s embrace this and let’s

work together,” she said. “(Mental illness) touches everybody, even in the military.” While the stigma associated with mental illnesses, like depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, has lessened over the last five years, Heudes said there’s still more work to be done.
She went on to explain that any military member who felt they may be suffering from a mental illness could access any of the resources available on the base and that she would encourage it. “We have a full mental health team that includes psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health nurs-
es, and social workers,” she said. “We’re all in this together.” Williams explained that he first started the run in 2014 in honour of his wife, his daughter and his sister who all suffer from mood disorders, and in memory of his two older brothers who took their own lives.

Now in its third year, the event has raised more than $31,000 for the MDSC with this year’s fundraising goal set at $10,000. Pulling out his phone, Williams grinned and said that the campaign was well on its way to reaching the 2017 goal with more than $9,000 raised. He further went on to explain that having the military’s support was especially important considering the MDSC offers programs for transitioning veterans to help them get re-established into civilian life. Echoing Heudes’ thoughts, Williams said while he was pleased with the amount of awareness being spread about mental health, there could always be more. “I think the more we talk about it, the more we’re going to get rid of this uncomfortable stigma,” he
said. “Maybe some of those conversations won’t just happen over the cooler at the office. Maybe they will happen across the board room table, across the legislative floor and in bigger places.” He then pointed to a large Canadian flag bearing several hundred names, which he said represented an individual either in support of bringing more awareness to the cause or who was suffering from mental health issues themselves. “It’s a symbol that you don’t have to carry your burdens alone,” he said, noting that the flag will travel with various runners so that it could complete the 785-kilometre trek. As for the last 10-kilometres heading to Parliament Hill, Williams said the public would be invited to join the relay team and to help march the flag to the finish line.

Air force museum in big need of volunteers BY MAKALA CHAPMAN
The National Air Force Museum of Canada (NAFMC) is looking to recruit a large number of volunteers. With upcoming events like the Ad Astra Stone Dedication Ceremony later this month, the need is a little more urgent than normal said the museum’s public relations coordinator Joshua Bambrough. Each year, the event draws hundreds out to the Air Park to see the stones friends and family have purchased in honour of a military member. The monuments are then dedicated and laid to rest along the walkway of the museum grounds. But preparing the museum for the event is a big job said Bambrough. Around 40 volunteers are needed to help landscape the Air Park outside the museum, as well as some other general maintenance tasks. “The absolute focus is the Air Park and keeping it to its luster,”
he said, “but we’re also looking for volunteers as tour guides and in restoration because we have many new aircraft coming in that will need attention. Whether you’re skilled or non-skilled, we can teach you.” But Brambrough noted that it was important to recognize the small handful of dedicated volunteers that already work at the museum and called them the “lifeblood” of the facility. He added that most of the volunteers are retired veterans and that their stories and experiences have only added to the museum’s rich history. “They come here every day (even though they’ve already) had it very hard and I’m assuming rewarding careers,” he said. “If it wasn’t for the volunteers that are here, this museum wouldn’t be whole.” While he explained that he wasn’t looking to replace the existing volunteers, he noted that many were
looking to take a step back from their roles at the museum. “The Air Force story is the people,” he said, gesturing to the veterans working out in the Air Park. “They operated these planes, worked on the planes, manned these bases and wings and served over seas.” As for why people should consider volunteering, Bambrough said it came down to good citizenship and the desire to help make the community whole. Helping catalogue the information on the more than 12,000 Ad Astra stones in the Air Park was longtime volunteer Donald Reid. With his clipboard in hand, he said one of his many jobs was to make sure that all the information on the stones was up to date and accurate. Having served more than 37-years in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and 21-years as a volunteer at NAFMC, Reid said he was ready
to take a little more time to himself. The 85-year-old veteran said that in his time at the museum, he’s seen countless volunteers come and go but the need to keep the Air Park looking its best has always remained. “It’s got to be kept looking good,” he said, noting that many youth come out to the museum to learn about the planes. “I think the young people that come out here definitely get something out of it so its got to look the part.” Over on the other side of the Air Park sweeping the dirt off some of the Ad Astra stones was veteran Duane Bach. He jokingly noted that out of the four other volunteers, he was considered the “young pup” of the group since he was the youngest at 62 years old. Having served at the museum for the past three years, Bach said he was looking forward to meeting new volunteers and sharing the work-
load. “If we get more help, it’s going to look even better,” he said, “We could learn from (a younger generation of volunteers). They might have a better way of doing things because we’re still old-school here.” Those interested in volunteering are being asked to come to the museum on September 8 at 7 a.m. Should it rain or if the extra time is needed, volunteers are welcomed to return on September 15. Since supplies are limited, those interested in helping are asked to bring shovels and any other gardening tools with them. Knee pads, sun protection and other protective equipment are some of the suggested items volunteers should bring since the work is primarily outdoors. As for the Ad Astra Stone Dedication Ceremony, it is set to take place at the museum in the Air Park on September 30 at 2:00 p.m.

OPINION
Disaster coverage – not voyeurism, it’s news
Climate creep and American frogs At least a decade ago, a retired general at the Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies said to me that the rich countries will never take climate change seriously until some very big and apclimate-relatGwynne Dyer parently ed disaster happens in a first-world country. Hurricane Harvey was not that disaster. At least 60 people have died in the Houston floods, and the number will undoubtedly go up. In Bangladesh, at least 134 have died in monsoon flooding that has submerged at least a third of the country. But the latter fact will have no impact on opinion in the developed countries – “it’s just the monsoon again” – and the Texas disaster is not big enough to change minds in the United States. Nor should it. Hurricanes are an annual event in the Gulf of Mexico, and their causes are well understood. Global warming has raised the amount of rain that this storm dumped on east Texas by 3-5 percent. (Higher sea surface temperature = more evaporation.) It also probably caused the changed wind patterns that kept Harvey loitering off the coast for so long. But it did not cause Harvey. The Houston floods are causing so much disruption and misery mainly because of human decisions: putting such a large population on a flood plain subject to frequent hurricanes, and then taking inadequate measures to protect those people from the inevitable consequences. It’s the same story as Hurricane Katrina – and if more than a thousand dead in New Orleans twelve years ago didn’t change the way Americans deal with these threats, the current pain in Houston is certainly not going to do so either. Indeed, just a couple of weeks ago President Trump scrapped Obama-era flood standards requiring infrastructure projects to take account of predicted global warming. There was no outcry. Immerse a frog in boiling water, and it will immediately hop out. Put it in cold water and then slowly heat it, and the frog will not notice that it’s being boiled. The evidence is there, but it’s coming in too slowly to get its attention. Climate change is creeping in quietly, making normal weather a bit more extreme each year, and Americans haven’t noticed yet. They get lots of help in maintaining their ignorance, of course. Right-wing “think

tanks” like the Institute of Energy Research, the Heartland Institute and the Competitive Enterprise Institute, financed by the likes of Exxon Mobil and the Koch brothers, have already mobilized to deny any links between the Houston disaster and climate change. “Instead of wasting colossal sums of money on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, much smaller amounts should be spent on improving the infrastructure that protects the Gulf and Atlantic coasts,” said Myron Ebell, director of environmental policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (and formerly the head of Trump’s transition team at the Environmental Protection Agency, tasked with crippling it). But do not despair: this is largely an American phenomenon, and the United States does not bulk as large in the climate equation as it used to. Almost all the other developed countries are taking the threat of large-scale climate change seriously, although they have left it a bit late and they’re still not doing enough. Consider, for example, the Netherlands, which is almost as vulnerable to flooding as Bangladesh: a quarter of the country is below sea level. There is a sentence in the introduction to the annual report of the Delta Programme, which deals with the rising sea levels and other water-related issues that concern the Dutch, that would be quite unthinkable in a US government document even in Barack Obama’s administration. It reads: “The Delta Programme is tasked with ensuring that flood risk management and the freshwater supply will be sustainable and robust by 2050, and that our country will be designed in a manner that enables it to continue to cope resiliently with the greater extremes of climate.” If the United States had started taking the Dutch approach twenty years ago, far less of Houston would be underwater today, but “designing our country”? It’s un-American. The United States will get there eventually, but it will take a far greater disaster than the Houston floods – the loss of Miami, perhaps? – before it ends the ideological wars and starts dealing with the realities of its situation. Meanwhile, the rest of the world will have to cope with climate change without American help. It can probably manage. Even if we can stop the warming before +2 degrees C, however, it’s too late already to prevent major climate change. There will be bigger floods and longer droughts, food shortages and floods of refugees, and countries will have to work hard to limit the damage. Including, eventually, the United States.

Editorial by Chris Malette ‘You in the media, you mainstream media types, you’re all vultures, looking to sensationalize and embellish other people’s suffering to sell newspapers/reach viewers/get listeners/rack up page views.’ You’ve heard it all before – many of you probably recall yourselves saying it or at very least thinking it over the past couple weeks as coverage of Hurricane Harvey played out over repeated broadcast cycles. One area amateur blogger thought it to be akin to pornography. Everyone knows what’s happening in Houston right now. On Saturday (Aug. 26), Hurricane Harvey slammed the Texas …. People have died. Thousands have been left without power… So many of us feel sick watching, impotent, helpless – and yet, we can’t seem to look away. There’s a term for this. Disaster porn. No. It’s not porn. This silly term has been used to describe everything someone wishes to dismiss as being overly exposed – from food to fast cars. What we’ve been seeing and will continue to see whenever there are major disaster stories is this – news. Period. Plain, unvarnished, often raw footage of nature’s fury, a gunman, jihadist, forest fire, floods or blizzards – we’re going to cover it and do it with compassion and empathy, but do it professionally, because coverage of these sorts of events make for a more alert, compassionate, understanding and aware reader, viewer or listener. There’s an excellent overview of the entire matter on the undisputed source for serious journalistic discourse, The Poynter Institute and Poynter.com. It can be found in its entirety here: https://www.poynter.org/news/exploitingsuffering-or-hogging-spotlight-media-slammedcovering-harvey-no-matter-how-they-do In part, it destroys the myth this is somehow “porn” or vulture-like voyeurism, of which some accuse the media in times when major disaster strikes. “The reality is that disaster coverage is among the purest forms of public service journalism. To accuse the media of commercial motivations in Hurricane Harvey coverage is to profoundly misunderstand the business model. Like wars, famines and epidemics, natural disaster coverage is incredibly expensive because of resources that must be mobilized without notice. … “For months, these local newsrooms will spend enormous amounts of money covering this disaster. And they’re not being rewarded with Super Bowl-sized audiences because the market has

spotty electrical service and so many people are displaced,” said Al Tompkins, Poynter’s senior faculty for broadcast. “Nobody in their right mind thinks extended coverage is a money maker…The reason to do this superhuman effort is because it is public service, vital journalism.” And the toll this takes on small newsrooms is immeasurable in physical, psychological and emotional terms. (I know, we bore the brunt of covering the Russell Williams arrest and trial in a small daily newsroom in Belleville when I was editor there). Many recall the encounter last week between a CNN reporter and a mother who escaped the floods to a Houston shelter, only to watch as the mother began berating the reporter for interviewing her at a time like that: … “people are really breaking down, and y’all sitting here with cameras and microphones trying to ask us, ‘What the f--- is wrong with us?’” We, as journalists in smaller centres or large, have all been accosted in similar fashion while doing our jobs. Do we intend to be obstinate and obtrusive? For the vast majority of us, no, not at all. Are pelpe going to see us as uncaring when we are interviewing and photographing people at their most vulnerable, their most wounded? Absolutely. It’s how we conduct ourselves when we’re being called the most vile things because we understand that, in order to get the true feel, emotion and impact of a disaster or tragic story, we’re going to have to be in the thick of it, asking the sometimes difficult questions. None of us wants to be the reporter who has to talk to the mother who has lost a child, the husband who has lost a wife, a family that has lost everything to a fire or tornado, but we do so in order to get the reader the entire story and in most cases, those readers will be the first to respond to the call for help or support for those affected. I recall several years ago when coming back from covering famine relief by the Canadian air force in Somalia in 1992 and later a UN mission in Haiti, donations among local readers to Red Cross and other charities working in both zones spiked when our stories and images were printed. There’s an impact beyond the gasp, the groan or the tear for those who are in the midst of the tragedy. It’s not porn, its not voyeurism, it’s not traipsing over victims’ dignity in order to get a sexy story. It’s news, it’s what we do and it’s important to understand the world in which we live and how it unfolds – often, tragically.

MP accepting applications for Bankers to race beds for TMH support Bay of Quinte Youth Council Bay of Quinte — Youth interested in making a positive impact on the Bay of Quinte can now apply for the 2017/2018 Bay of Quinte Constituency Youth Council. Neil Ellis, member of Parliament for the Bay of Quinte riding, is encouraging youth ages 15 to 24 to apply to the council, focused on engaging youth to ensure their voices are heard. Following the success of last year’s council, Ellis said he’s excited for the 2017/2018 launch. “I’m eager to meet the new council members from the Bay of Quinte,” he said. “I look forward to working together with them, to make the Bay of Quinte a more dynamic and inclusive community.” The youth council consists of a group of youth from the Bay of Quinte riding, who will meet every one to two months to discuss what matters most to them. During this time, localized projects will be organized to mobilize the community and make a positive impact. The nonpartisan council will focus on bringing a diverse set of fresh perspectives to the conversation.

Trenton — Local bankers are gearing up to race hospital beds to help fund much-needed equipment at Trenton Memorial Hospital. As part of the Leon’s buy-a-bed-campaign, local banks announced support for the campaign through various fundraising events leading up to the bed races, in an effort to raise the $100,000 needed to purchase eight hospital beds and three stretchers. “While the government funds the hospital's day-to-day operations, it does not cover the cost of new and replacement equipment, such as beds. We are relying on our community to help fill this urgent need,” said Phil Wild, chair of the TMH Foundation. Participating banks include Bank of Montreal (BMO), Kawartha Credit Union, Quinte First Credit Union, Scotiabank, and TD Financial.

Hastings County youth take home farm show bursaries
It’s Time. When you’re always worried about how mom’s doing. Let Seasons help.
Shannon Prins and Samantha Reid received their bursaries through the Hastings County Farm Show and Plowing Match bursary program. Erin Stewart/Metroland
BY ERIN STEWART
Quinte West — University students Shannon Prins and Samantha Reid received some financial support thanks to the Hastings County Farm Show and Plowing Match bursary program. The two students each received $1,500 to put toward their post-secondary education. Prins is attending McMaster University for a Bachelor of Science and Nursing, and Reid is a student at the University of Guelph studying environmental management with plans to go on to study agriculture. “The money means a lot to me because it’s a significant amount of money to go toward school. It’s awesome they’ve brought out a bursary like this,” said Reid, after accepting the bursary during the Hastings County Farm Show and Plowing Match on Thursday Aug. 24. The bursary was created two years ago and has two main requirements: The youth from Hastings County must be going into second year or later and also come from a farming family background — either still farming or their grandparents farmed. Having grown up on a farm, Reid said agriculture means a lot to her and her family. “I learned a lot living on a farm with my mom
and dad, we have about 30 head of cattle in Stirling and it just means a lot,” she said. “I hope to continue in agriculture when I’m done school. I don’t know exactly what I want to do yet but it’s definitely going to include living on the farm, I love it.” Bruce DeMille, treasurer/director of the Hasting County Plowmen’s Association and chair of the bursary committee, said the bursary program was created to help farming family youth further their education. “We felt there was another need for farm family, young people, to further their education with our help,” he said. “One of our main goals is to help young people, either through this bursary program of through 4-H sponsorship. We felt there’s not enough for the local kids to apply for.” DeMille said they keep $5,000 in the bursary account all year and that the amount of recipients is definitely not limited to two a year, but could go up to five students. He said he would encourage anyone and everyone who meets the requirements to apply. To apply to the bursary program, visit www.hastingsfarmshow.ca.

This Herc likes milk bones BY MAKALA CHAPMAN
Trenton – One of 436 Transport Squadron’s honorary members so happens to be excellent at fetching tissues, opening cupboard doors and is said to be a fan of treats. Meet 17-month-old Hercules the black Labrador retriever, who also so happens to share his name with the Royal Canadian Air Force’s (RCAF) CC-130J Hercules aircraft. But “Herc” as he’s known, is more than just an unofficial squadron mascot. He is in fact well on his way to becoming a facility dog says his owner and handler Kelly Briggs. As the veteran family program coordinator at the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC), Briggs noted that Hercules plays an important role at her workplace. While he was originally supposed to be trained as service dog for those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), she said it soon became apparent that Hercules was needed at the MFRC. “I started fostering him when he was 12 weeks,“ Briggs explained, “but eight months in we realized that he had a huge impact and he’s very sensitive to people.” She added that veterans and children have especially taken a liking to her four-legged friend. “They love him,” she said, noting that everyone who meets Hercules has been an instant fan. “Here (at the MFRC) he has the ability to have an
impact on a lot of veterans and families and not just one.” While the youthful pup is still in training to become a full-blown facility dog, he is already capable of so much said Briggs. “He’s so smart so I have to keep his mind going,” she chuckled, adding that Hercules has been trained to retrieve keys, find people, and even put socks away. “It’s about keeping his mind engaged.” Once fully trained, his roles will also include assisting veterans and clients of the MFRC to appointments if they feel they need a little extra support. Since Briggs is Hercules’ handler, she noted she will always have to be present but said that she and Hercules would be happy to help out when needed. Looking back, Briggs said she couldn’t imagine her life without him and said she hopes he brings others as much joy as he has brought her. “Not only does (fostering a dog) have a positive impact on your own family, you can impact someone else and help the dog learn the skills and task necessary to make a veterans life a little easier,” she said. “It’s a huge benefit.” But not just any dog can become a working dog like Hercules, said Dominium Assistance Dogs owner and trainer Lisa–Marie Guernon. In fact, a lot of time, effort and money goes into raising a canine to be able to do all the things required of a service or facility dog.
Each dog that is trained can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 said Guernon. As a veteran herself, Guernon said one of the reasons she started the local charity was to help address the rising demand for service animals for those suffering from PTSD or mobility issues. Having been discharged from the military for medical reasons, Guernon explained that by training her own dogs to assist her with daily routines, like taking medicine, she realized how valuable having a service dog could be to other veterans. Since 2015, Guernon has trained seven therapy dogs, one facility dog, six service dogs, two emotional support animals and has several others currently in training. But while Guernon said she would like to help every individual who could benefit from a service dog, it’s not possible at the time. “We can’t help everybody and the waiting list minimum across Canada is over two years,” she said, noting that she doesn’t charge for her services. To help alleviate some of the demand, Guernon noted that she has been helping to teach others, like Briggs, how to properly train their own service animal. “Kelly comes to me two times a week and she says ‘okay, I want him to do that’ and then we go through the program and I teach her how to teach the dog,” she said, adding that she also teaches veterans how to train their canine. “What I enjoy is seeing the look
on the veteran’s face when they realize Hercules, an honorary member of they can do it on their own.” 436 Transport Squadron, hangs As for the role that service animals out under the shade of a CC-130J play in the lives of those that need Hercules with Sergeant Ed Babithem the most, Guernon said it was neau at 8 Wing Trenton. one that could not be replaced.

G. May Project aims to bring childhood sexual assault program to Quinte via Trenton business BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton — In a bid to advocate and bring programming for childhood sexual assault victims in Quinte, the G. May Project organization is in the process of raising $40,000. Spearheaded by Brandy Ringelmann, the Quinte West based G. May Project is a nonprofit organization, consisting of a group of people committed to advocating for victims of childhood sexual assault. Officially launched in March, Ringelmann said the G. May Project is working to duplicate the successful treatment program of an organization based in Alberta called Little Warriors. “They take families and victims in for the week and they do rehabilitation and care and then they do follow up, long-term follow up with the families,” she said. “We want to implement the pilot project here in the Bay of Quinte, then our goal is to make that something that is accessible to the entire province.” Currently in Ontario, Ringelmann said
there is no public access treatment program for childhood sexual victims, under the age of 16, or their families, something the G. May Project is working to change. The project has raised $10,000 of the $40,000 goal needed to implement the infrastructure and framework for the program. The project hits close to home for Ringelmann, who said statistically one in 10 children under the age of 18 have been sexually assaulted and she named the organization the G. May Project after an anonymous victim. “It’s the name of a six-year-old little girl, to be honest. Her identity needs to remain anonymous and so that’s where that name comes from,” she said. Ringelmann said the situation involving the six-year-old little girl is what inspired her to create the organization and advocate for childhood sexual assault victims. “I’m familiar with the family and it’s very sad. Until you are connected to somebody who has lived that trauma, or you yourself are in that trauma, you don’t realize where the resources stop, where they need to continue and what is lacking
Campbell’s Honey
and where the voids are in the system,” she said. While the G. May Project works to raise money to fill those voids, the group has also put together trauma packages to support victims and families at the time of trauma. The packages, distributed by children’s aid response workers, include agency brochures and information to help families navigate the system and find immediate support, along with personal words of love and encouragement and words from a therapist. Ringelmann said the organization did see a surge in exposure and people reaching out to the organization for support when former Belleville dentist/orthodontist Anthony Garry Soloman, 69, was charged in July with video taping young female patients, possession of child pornography and making child pornography. “In all of those cases the children are now over the age of 16 so they wouldn’t qualify for the program we’re looking to introduce, but they do qualify for the sexual assault centre in Belleville,” said Ringelmann, who added that the information packages they supplied victims and families were positively received. With the G. May Project treatment program first on the agenda, the organization also aims to advocate for tougher sentenc-

ing for pedophiles, stronger rights for victims and create a platform to promote education and prevention of childhood sexual assault. October is childhood abuse prevention and awareness month and Ringelmann said the organization will take the month to do campaigning, education, prevention and fundraising in the community. “The community has been great,” she said. “Not just if we plan a fundraiser and

Rednersville - For its 10th anniversary, 15 artists and artisans along Rednersville Road welcomed an equal number of guest artists over the Labour Day holiday weekend for the Rednersville Road Art Tour. The colourful, sprawling show at some 14 locations, from Rossmore to Carrying Place, drew hundreds of people under mostly sunny conditions. One of the guest artists added a new dimension to the show.

she came here just 10 months ago and her colourful offerings at the Tina Osborne site at number 2145 on the road featured widely varying themes, mostly representative of her native land. Most of the other 14 venues opened spaces for one or more guests, often friends or family. In 2007, a group of artists and artisans realized there was a number of their community along the south shore of the bay and started the annual tour on the Labour Day weekend. It has continued to grow in popularity as a fun outing for many hundreds of area residents and visitors. Venues included paintings in oils, watercolours, acryl-

The car ripped through a fence, into a pasture, striking several other vehicles along the way, then seeking to get back onto the road, crashed head on into another vehicle parked up against the fence. The driver was trapped in the vehicle for awhile by the fence until firefighters and paramedics arrived and freed her. No injuries were apparent but the driver was considerably shaken up.

G-Hawks defeat Cougars in final pre-season game BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton — In their final pre-season game, the Trenton Golden Hawks defeated rivals the Cobourg Cougars 4-1 on home ice on Friday, Sept. 1. After trailing 1-0 in the first period, Trenton’s returning player Rex Moe scored the team’s first goal on the power play at 2:58 in the second, assisted by newcomer Caleb Boman and returnee Michael Silveri. Max Ewart, back for his second season with the team, scored two minutes later with a goal assisted by Moe and Silveri. The Hawks led 2-1 going into the third. The third period looked much like the second as Moe picked up the first goal of the period again, this time assisted by Kevin Stiles and Dylan Latty. Again, Ewart scored the second goal of
the period and the last goal of the game, unassisted on the empty net at 18:56. Trenton’s goaltender Parker Swanson made 20 saves on 21 shots and Cobourg’s Owen Liskiewicz saved 20 out of the 23 shots sent his way. Trenton’s new head coach and general manager, Marty Abrams, said the game was the team’s best effort yet. “I thought we played a full 60 minutes and everybody contributed. Overall, I thought it was our best effort,” he said. With only five returning players and about 16 newcomers, Abrams said there is a lot of potential with the group. “We have a lot to work on. With so many new players, it’s going to take us some time to get out systems in place, but, overall, I’m very pleased with the performance from the
group that we have,” he said. Even though there are only five returning players, Abrams said the sense of rivalry between Trenton and Cobourg is still there after last year, when the two teams faced off for the North-East Conference title and again at the RBC Cup. “I think the guys recognized the rivalry that was there last year, the new players were talking about it before the game so everyone is aware of the rivalry and it added a little bit of incentive and motivation for our guys,” he said. With a 3-1-0 exhibition game record, the G-Hawks now move into regular season play. The team’s season opener is on Friday, Sept. 8 at the Duncan McDonald Memorial Community Gardens at 7:30 p.m. vs. Mississauga.
Belleville – The Brighton Keystone Orange scored a late goal to win the Bay of Quinte men’s soccer league Division 1 championship at Mary Anne Sills Park Thursday, Aug. 31.

Golden Hawks name team leadership group Trenton – In other G-Hawks news, the team have named their team captain and assistant captains for the 2017-18 Ontario Junior Hockey League season. Veteran forward Mac Lewis has been named team captain. The Uxbridge native is going into his third season with the G-Hawks, following an 18-goal, 36-point record in 50 games in 2016-17, which was a 26-point jump from his first year with the team. Fellow returnees Brandon Marinelli and Michael Silveri have been named assistant captains for the season. Marinelli made great strides on the blue line last season. He posted 36 points in 52 regular season games and added 14 points in 21 playoff games. Silveri finished in the top five in team scoring last season with 45 points, including 21 goals. He finished off the season with 14 points in 21 playoff games and scored the game-winning goal in the Dudley-Hewitt Cup final on home ice in May.

vanced to the league final after 1-0 over the Fury on a goal by Keith Couperus. And Hellenics headed into the final, coming of a 5-1 win over Azzurri, in which Porritt scored four times. The Organe victory was thrilling for manager Merv Heffernan, who noted the team won four of the five Division 1 titles, up for grabs this year in Bay of Quinte men’s soccer. The team won the indoor league regular season and playoff and the Outdoor League Tournament. The outdoor league regular-season title was the only title missed. “It was good to see so many players turn out for this final and also good to note that nearly all of our injured players came out to cheer the lads on,” he said.

Cars were stars at this Labour Day classic BY CHRIS MALETTE
Thurlow – Neighbours in the north Sidney Street neighbourhood where John Foley invites fans of chrome and aspirated engines no doubt have to be patient with the rumble of thunder coming from Foley’s yard. Every Labour Day, Foley, a classic car and boat buff, hosts ‘Foley’s Yard Thunder’ and invites friends and fellow car lovers to come out for food and drink and a lot of chrome and lovingly restored cars and trucks. Friend Ron Smith said this was the third year of the event and “it’s grown every year. “The first year, he had about 23 or so cars,” said Smith who helped Foley prepare for the front and side lawn concourse of classic iron. “Last year there weremore and this year we’re going to be close to 40.” There’s no admission, it’s largely pot luck, but Foley puts on a barbecue for friends and invitees and no one shoos away anyone who pulls over to the side of the road and strolls over for a look at the lovingly-restored vehicles that festoon the lawn. “It’s just all about celebrating the work all these guys have put into their vehicles,” said Foley. “A place where they can relax and show off their cars, meet their friends and enjoy Labour Day.”
There were cars of all eras on the lawn of Thurlow resident John Foley’s home on the north end of Sidney Street Monday for the Third Annual Foley’s Yard Thunder car show and barbecue. See more photos on page 8. Chris Malette/Metroland

Barbershop chorus seeks new director BY JACK EVANS
The Quinte region chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, A Cappella Quinte, is seeking a new chorus leader following the unexpected loss of Bloomfield musician Patrick Headley. Headley took over at the first of the year and proved himself a competent and popular leader of the 35-voice choir, including the annual show last spring. Despite hopes for a long and fun relationship, Headley became no longer available because of a new career opportunity which was a “must go” for him to continue to support his family, to a senior full-time teaching position to a private college out of
the area. The chorus has established a search committee and actively seeks applicants for this position, which carries a modest salary and an opportunity to work with a fun group, which has become a major player in the area’s cultural fabric over around 40 years. The chorus practices Tuesday evening in the back hall of Calvary Temple on Dundas Street West, plus a number of public performances at community events in the area and an annual major show in the spring. Those interested can contact Steve Hall, 613-968-4073 or email snedehall@sympatico.ca.
Quinte Ex goes out with a roar amid puddles BY JACK EVANS
Belleville - Following long-established tradition, it seems you can’t have a Quinte Exhibition without at least one or more days of heavy rain. The closing day of the Quinte Exhibition Sunday helped keep the fair’s reputation intact. Rubber boots were the order of the day for many fairgoers and numbers were down, particularly during the early hours of the day, but crowds perked up by mid-afternoon as rain clouds moved out, plus the major attraction of a demolition derby for the grandstand program at 7 p.m. One area not much affected by the weather was inside the Curling Club building where school arts and crafts, domestic skills, baking competition and more held court. A large display and demonstration by Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo in one corner drew a large crowd of children and their parents. The lecturer, Peter Surges, also allowed the children to hold a large tarantula on the palm of their hands and to handle a large, but potentially ornery, snapping turtle and other critters. Given the reduced attendance because of the rain, the Quinte Ex may not have gone out with a bang, but with the demolition derby, it was certainly with a roar.
Peter Surges, with the Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo, shows off a large tarantula during a lecture to a large crowd of children and parents inside the Curling Club building on the last day of the Quinte Exhibition Sunday. The reptile collection and show was one of the more popular attractions at this year’s fair. Jack Evans/Metroland

Guild’s one act plays draw strong support
B & E suspect nabbed after a string of crimes
BY JACK EVANS
BY BILL FREEMAN
Judging from the attendance and generous applause Wednesday, Aug. 30, the Belleville Theatre Guilds annual One Act Play Festival has established itself as a solidly popular event. This year’s presentation covered five short plays, all by writers in the immediate community. The interest in writing for this event drew the comment from Liz Marshall, BTG program director that “ We were overwhelmed by the number of submissions this year. Our area is becoming a hotbed of new writers.” The evening’s program also spans a wealth of new acting and directing talent, although most of the casts, by necessity, were small. The audience roared with laughter at several points as veteran local playwright Peter Paylor’s play called “The Green Thumb Gang” unfolded. Directed by Terry Boyd, the play stars Judie Preece and Kathryn Dalmer as two elderly women apparently caught red-handed in an apartment break-in, but arguing that they were only trying to water the plants and feed the cat. Marvin Tucker plays the frustrated apartment owner and Jamie Hosking, the detective. Garry Kirsch of Tweed, penned the crime drama, “Unbecoming,” directed by Enno Busse. Brief and intense, the story is of two police detectives working on a gruesome case by a serial psychopathic killer. A chance for young actors to show their stuff was offered in “Summer on the Bench,” by Sarah Harren, about a young teenager infatuated with a boy to whom she had loaned a pencil. Making her directing debut for this was Maija Thompson. The cast was Logan Ramsay, Fiona Dodsworth, Alex Pordham (still a youth and already with several BTG shows under his belt) and Dylan Kemp. Another new writer is Keith Taylor of Picton, whose play, “Therapy” involves several mental patients and a doctor. Lisa Morris, director, described her cast as “the perfect combination of playwright, actors and director. I can’t wait to do it again.” The cast is a rebellious Sydnee
Asphodel-Norwood– A 38-year-old Peterborough man was arrested by police Thursday (Aug. 31) morning after a string of reported break-ins along County Road 2 and the Third Line of Asphodel. Peterborough County OPP officers were called to the area shortly before 10:30 a.m. to investigate the break-ins and identified a suspect using home surveillance video from one of the residences. The officers

Wilson as Sheila, a new participant in the sessions, Sylvia Wan, Kirsten Skltodt, Brad Kassier and Bryan Coates. Another surprise ending, and some great acting. Finally, seasoned actor Colin Leonard owned the stage as the key character in “A Kiss To Build a Dream On.” On their 50th wedding anniversary, a couple share their reflections on their lives with the owner of their favourite café. Colin’s wife, Nora, was played by Victoria Farrell and Katie, the café owner by Sara
Hadley. Poignant and witty, this was a first effort by Penny Barker of Belleville and to keep it in the family, the director was her daughter, Heather Barker, a BTG regular. Notables in the opening night audience included Lesley Bonisteel from the Old Church Theatre and Caroline Smith, founder and long-time operator of the Stirling Festival Theatre. The guild’s regular season opens Oct. 12 with the American classic, “Our Town,”by Thornton Wilder, directed by Ian Feltham.
located the suspect after a stolen ATV he was riding ran out of fuel and he attempted to hide in a garage. Lucas Albert Nehrling, 38, of Peterborough was charged with three counts of break, enter and theft under $5,000, possession of break-in tools, wearing a disguise while committing an indictable offence, theft over $5,000 (ATV), resisting a police officer and two counts of failing to comply with recognizance.
ONE CHILD with cancer is one
TOO MANY
The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) recognizes that one child with cancer is one too many. The toll that cancer can take on children and their families is significant. That’s why, at CCS, we continue to invest in Canada’s best childhood cancer research, and we’re Canada’s largest national charitable funder of childhood cancer research. Thanks to our generous donors, over the past 15 years we have funded over $50 million in childhood cancer research, supporting more than 170 projects. Here are two examples of research conducted by leading scientists who have received funding from CCS. Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is the most common type of leukemia in adults, and it can also affect children. Some people begin with less aggressive diseases called myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and later develop AML. By studying abnormal blood stem cells, Dr Mick
Bhatia and his team at McMaster University developed a new way of predicting who will progress from MDS toAML,which could help guide treatment to fend off this aggressive cancer. With further research, this could lead to personalized risk predictions and treatment options for children with MDS to fend off AML. Dr Cynthia Hawkins and her team are searching for better ways to diagnose and treat childhood cancers of the central nervous system (CNS) – the brain and spinal cord. Dr Hawkins met with international experts to update the World Health Organization’s classification system for CNS tumours. Based on her research, an entirely new diagnostic category was created, which is changing tumour testing around the world. Help us continue to fund Canada’s best cancer research.

Jim Taylor. There was, of course, a special tribute to longtime coach Vince Lombardi, who stated “There is only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything.” Several of his famous ‘words of wisdom’ are posted on these walls. There was also a replica of Curly Lambeau’s office, with his desk, and a reminder of the “Lambeau Leap” (an aftertouchdown tradition here since 1993). There was a detailed description of the famous “Ice Bowl” of 1967, won by the Packers over the Cowboys (when it was so cold that the officials couldn’t use the metal whistles, for they would stick to their lips!). Then I entered the trophy room and was surrounded by the ‘World Champions’ trophies (13 of them) and the 4 ‘Super Bowls’. In addition to my exploration of the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, I, of course, toured the Lambeau Field Stadium, too (where more than 80,000 boisterous fans attend every home game!). I walked through the wide, welcoming tunnel that leads from the home team’s dressing room out onto the field, while a recording of the roaring fans could be heard over a
loudspeaker. However, once we emerged from the tunnel, the field itself was ‘off limits’. This is considered ‘sacred ground’ and it’s only to be looked at, not walked upon. As we walked about on the sidelines, though, we could see the opposing team’s entrance tunnel – and it was much smaller, narrower. It was as if ‘the enemy’ was emerging into a hostile, intimidating environment! Our tour guide told us that he was one of about 60 retired people who led these stadium tours. They’re very popular! I was also told that if it snowed just prior to a home game, up to 500 volunteers would appear to help clear the snow from the stands (and many actually applauded the lack of a dome, for they preferred playing ‘real football’, exposed to the elements!). On game day, there’d be a sea of green and gold (their colours) and a plethora of cheeseheads in the stands. I was also told that about 20,000 pounds of cheese curds would be sold and consumed there per game!

Take It Outside
Hi! Carson here: New columnist on the block
to start our relationship is with a little honesty. While I love plants and specifically moved to a farm to have more space for the gardens, I’m not actually a gardener. I’m a landscape designer. Landscaping is more than just the plants; it includes all of the components of outdoor design, including creating those amazing outdoor rooms that are the hottest trend right now. As a representative for HGTV Canada, Better Homes and Gardens and Cityline, I travel all across North America helping homeowners define their outdoor spaces. However, BY CARSON ARTHUR when I walk into a yard for the As this is my inaugural ar- first time, I look at the space ticle, I think the best way for us very differently than some of
my industry colleagues. I don’t design based on where the roses, or the hydrangeas, or the boxwoods will go. Instead, I start with creating useable space. I make decks, patios, seating areas work for homeowners. I love creating areas that are all about outdoor living and while plants are still part of the picture; I work to blend them with the outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, pergolas and patios so that the entire outdoor space reads as one cohesive area. With all of the new studies and information about how the outdoors impact home value; landscaping has now joined kitchens and bathrooms at the top of the renovation list when it comes to making a return on
investment. There will always be good and bad choices when it comes to home renovations. For 90 percent of Canadians, our homes are our largest assets. I want to help you enjoy your property and then make the most for it when it comes time to sell, because even if you are not selling today, tomorrow or in 15 years ... who wants to sell their home for less money then it is actually worth? As I travel back and forth across the country, I will bring you a close up of what others are doing in their own spaces and what the provincial trends are. (And yes, the grass does seem a little greener in Victoria.) As we get to know each
other, you’re going to see that I have lots of opinions. I will try and blend the good with the bad and be as charming as possible with my tongue firmly in my cheek. I will also make sure that a keep healthy dose of common sense in all of my content. I want to make greener choices in my life and will help you do the same as we work towards making your outdoor space beautiful. I am going to share some amazing before and after photos of my best makeovers and I have lots of DIY projects for you to try. I’m even going to let you in on my own personal failures. We’re going to discuss furniture, privacy, and even plants and how everything impacts you and your
home. I am always open for your questions too. In fact, I will even include some of them in my upcoming articles. If you ever have an issue or need some help, you can always reach me through social media or feel free to call into my radio program on 800CJBQ on Saturdays at 12:30. I firmly believe that there are no bad questions. Odds are, if you are thinking it, so is someone else! So even though I may be the new kid on the block, I’m going to be your personal outdoor expert; helping you make the most of your front and backyards and one day you can invite me over for a barbeque in your amazing new space.
Overdose prevention program marks one year of service Hastings Prince Edward Public Health celebrated one year of the Lifesaver Program on Aug. 31. This drug overdose prevention program was launched last year on August 31, which is International Overdose Awareness day. Since the program’s launch, 188 Lifesaver kits have been distributed to service users, family members and friends, and 19 kits have been refilled. Over the last year, HPEPH has provided over 600 hours of education on overdose prevention to local community partners. The Lifesaver program is a community-based Naloxone distribution program aimed at reducing avoidable deaths from opioid overdose. It is offered to individuals currently taking opioids, or those who have taken opioids in the past. Naloxone is an effective antidote for opioid overdoses, and works by temporarily reversing the effects of opioids in the brain and restoring normal breathing in the unconscious person. The Lifesaver Program involves training people to recognize the signs of overdose and to use Naloxone to save lives. Par-
ticipants are provided with a Lifesaver kit that contains all the supplies necessary to administer Naloxone in the event of an overdose. A key component of the program involves ensuring that participants understand the importance of calling 911 as soon as they suspect an opioid overdose, to initi-
ate emergency response and support. Opioid overdose can slow or stop breathing, slow heart rate and blood pressure, reduce body temperature, and cause the victim to be unresponsive. Affected persons may also experience a seizure or a heart attack. Opioids are found in both illegal and prescription drugs.

Aging population a challenge for county BY JACK EVANS
If Hastings County is going to address the needs of an aging population, it must move to support small pods of affordable housing for seniors from Centre to North Hastings. A summer intern for Hastings County, Meredith Stevenley-Watson, drew high praise from council councillors for her report on needs for special assisted living space by county seniors. She made her presentation to council Thursday, Aug. 31. Stevenley-Watson reported data she had collected on the needs from county and other statistics, plus interviews with senior citizens, particularly those on lower income. She also said she visited several types of suitable accommodations, particularly one in nearby Apsley. The needs for care workers should involve more than a mere one hour per day, as set by the Local Health Initiatives Network (LHIN), she argued, and creating clusters of specialized residential units would best solve that problem. Stevenley-Watson’s key recommendations were for small units designed for rent geared to income seniors in places such as Bancroft, Tweed, and Madoc, with a large complex of apartment type units built on county-owned property behind Hastings Manor. Proximity to downtown centres is a key factor, she stressed. Such units should also allow married seniors to share the same space or at least the same building. The latter point drew strong support from one reeve who cited a case of a married couple in their 90s living in two different facilities and pining to

be together. Several council members reported knowledge of similar cases and reinforced the report on the need. “People are banging on our doors all the time for assisted living space for seniors,” said Mayor Tom Deline of Centre Hastings. Bancroft acting Mayor Jim Jenkins reported similar experiences. Deline suggested such spaces would obviate the
need for personal care workers to drive all over the county to serve clients and thus save the province money. CAO Jim Pine said the report would need further details which staff would be pleased to provide and council should act to start implementing such ideas, with or without help from senior governments. No further action was taken at the meeting.
Hastings County supports sales tax hike for infrastructure BY JACK EVANS
Belleville - There was some hesitancy by a couple of members, but Hastings County Council members were in agreement that infrastructure must take priority. Chief administrative officer Jim Pine reminded that in Eastern Ontario alone, “infrastructure is falling behind more than $135 million dollars every year. We all know infrastructure gets a year older every year and we cannot keep raising taxes at the rate of eight to 10 per cent a year to maintain buildings and roads properly.” He urged council to support the position of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) in its call for the province to increase the sales tax by one per cent and earmark the proceeds for an apportionment to each municipality. Even at that, there wold be five provinces with sales tax rates higher than Ontario, Pine said, recalling that

at one time the rate was 14 per cent. The funds would be ongoing and something councils could budget on year by year. “Even that amount won’t fully cover the increase annually of infrastructure upkeep,” he said. Current programs result in municipalities competing with each other to get a share of funds available and other measures cannot be relied on. Council also recognized the AMO’s position on strengthening Eastern Ontario through additional senior government support. Charts showed that costs for one kilometre of road are the same whether in an urban area or the country yet that cost must be born by five households in the country, while in an urban area it is 25 households. Municipalities also own two thirds of the region’s roads and the infrastructure deficit now stands at $4.6 billion and continues to grow. Council strongly endorsed Pine’s recommendations.

appreciate the benefits they brought? As an immigrant the shoe, some would say boot, is on the other foot. Not a good feeling remains with me with regard to the treatment of the First Nations. I like to think that the first settlers’ intentions were for the best but know that was not so in many cases. Residential Schools are a major issue. I was introduced to them through reading a history of one situated in TheLand-of-the-Lakes written, of course, by ‘The Victor’. I remember thinking, as I am sure the founders of the school did and intended, this was the ideal method of integration, not realizing it left the pupil between two cultures In some ways I still think this. To sit on an ice field and watch Miami Vice from your GPS equipped Skidoo
does not seem to me the ideal way to integrate those young people in the realities of the, like it or not, modern world. The founders of the schools must be truly horrified at the subsequent treatment of the pupils, as indeed we all are, but that does not negate their true intentions. I also wonder at the ‘saintliness’ of the instigators of this nonsense. Many people regarded themselves as ‘more-equal-than-others’ and were not too reluctant to demonstrate the fact: until they became the vanquished, are they happy with their history? I can only conclude with my observation that there are far more worrying issues in this unfortunate World that should concern us, John Morralee Belleville

Dear Editor, Is it possible to state that the wish to rename schools and pull down statues is nonsense and not offend someone? I suspect not: so to them I apologize. But it is nonsense. An attempt to rewrite history as if there were no victors or vanquished is doomed to failure and to cause even more dissension. As an Immigrant from England I belong to a race, which is both victor and vanquished. If I am overly sensitive I have some serious issues with the Romans, the Danes, the Vikings and William the Conqueror, who chased my first ancestors (whom I am sure were not all saints) off their bit of turf. But I accept that ‘To the Victor the Spoils’ and they also get to write the history books! Is any harm done to accept that fact, live with it, and

His musical tastes and abilities span diverse styles from swing era jazz to rock to country. Currently Tom is keyboardist and a percussionist with the Quinte Symphony Orchestra, as well as a music teacher whose instruction encourages creativity, balanced overall musicianship, ear training, improvisation on and composition.” The Belleville Choral Society consists of professional and amateur musicians of diverse backgrounds, performing choral literature from all musical periods. Since 1959, the chorus has brought the joys of choral singing to the Quinte area. Repertoire for the December 2017 concert will include the premiere of a commissioned work by Mark Sire, in celebration of Canada 150, along with guest artists, Carpe Diem String Ensemble.
