United Way sets lofty goal during Food Truck festival By Erin Stewart

Trenton – United Way Quinte revealed its $2,115,610 campaign goal on Saturday, Sept. 17 and kicked off the fundraising during its second annual Food Truck United event at Centennial Park in Trenton. Thousands of people made their way to Centennial Park from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday to enjoy food from all corners of Ontario, local craft beer and live entertainment while also supporting the United Way through the $2 admission fee for adults. Judi Gilbert, executive director for United Way Quinte, said they were thrilled to announce their goal during the popular event and they know it will be a challenge raising more than last year’s goal. “It is a lofty goal but we have to work to attain it,” said Gilbert. “That end goal, it’s the dollars, but it’s really the impact they will have on the community and that’s what’s crucial and that’s what keeps us going on those long days and nights during that hectic time.” After the success of their first Food Trucks United event in 2015, Gilbert said the event is a big contributor to help them reach their goal. “I am absolutely amazed and astonished already at the numbers of the people that are coming in,” she said. “It just goes to show people ob-

Gilbert said government funding has decreased for many of the community agencies United Way Quinte supports. “There’s a lot of pressure on United Ways across the country to raise as many dollars as they can to support their communities,” she said. “Heaven forbid that we have to think of our community without a United Way.” Donna Vanderwiel brought her family to Food Trucks United for the first time and she said the event was fantastic. “It’s actually awesome,” she said. “Even thought the lines look long you actually don’t end up waiting in line that long and it’s worth the wait anyways.” Vanderwiel purchased bacon cheeseburgers from Belleville’s Steak Machine Gourmet Burgers truck and said she definitely wasn’t disappointed. “They’re absolutely amazing,” she said. “We’re huge on supporting the United Way campaign, all of the funds go definitely to a good cause and it’s a well worth it event.” United Way Quinte’s deadline to Karen Brooks (L), Karen Kropp (C) and Monte Kropp (R) ready to eat their food from Tdot’s Naansense food reach its goal is December 31.

Trenton – Sweet tooths were put to good use, as purchases of $1 smile cookies at Tim Hortons September 1218 supported local kids. All proceeds from the purchase of smile cookies throughout Quinte West helped fund the expansion of the Children’s Treatment Centre and Pre-school Speech and Language Program at Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH). There are currently 275 children registered with the Children’s Treatment Centre at QHC that live in Quinte West, said Wendy Warner, executive director of the TMH Foundation, in a media release. “Only 175 receive treatment at TMH, but with your help we can bring the 100 receiving treatment in Belleville back to Trenton Memorial Hospital,” she said. “These children require help with speech, physical therapy, occupational therapy, school readiness, orthopedic and pediatrician consults and more.” For the second year in a row, Trenton’s Dr. Younes Dental Care supported the smile

cookie initiative by purchasing smile cookies everyday for all of its patients. “We hand that smile cookie out and hopefully it makes someone smile and it also goes to a great cause,” said Tracy Mitchell, Dr. Younes’ marketing director. “They love it.” Mitchell said they will purchase around 300 smile cookies throughout the week and it makes them feel great being able to get involved and give back to the community. “It makes us feel wonderful,” she said. “We

like to keep it local and we like to support things that we know are a great cause.” Brighton resident Linda Michell sat down for lunch at Tim Hortons in Trenton and made sure to purchase a smile cookie. “I did only buy it for the cause,” she said. “I just want to help the kids that they support, Tim Hortons does a lot out there for kids and I just want to be part of that.” Michell said it makes her feel good being able to support Trenton’s Children’s Treatment Centre.

Frankford volunteers fill backpacks for Toronto Salvation Army By Erin Stewart

Frankford – A small village can help people on the streets in Toronto simply by opening their hearts. The Frankford Legion and Frankford United Church are working together to gather 120 backpacks and fill them with hats, socks, mittens and toiletry items for The Gateway Salvation Army men’s shelter in Toronto and they would like your help. Volunteer Jane Haire said she has had the idea for a while now and contacted Belleville’s Salvation Army where she was told they did not have the need for the items at this time. “Suffering is suffering, we do want to help people wherever we can, we do tend to focus largely in this area but in this case it’s a need that we don’t have and Toronto does… it is very much needed in Toronto,” she said. Now that summer is over and cooler fall temperatures are setting in, Haire said she feels it’s important to get hats, mittens and scarves together early. With a deadline of October 1, Haire said they have received great support from the community so far since putting up posters and asking for help on Facebook. “We’ve had a lot of individuals brining in bags and bringing in bags full of shampoo and different

things,” she said. “Gently used backpacks would be much appreciated, they don’t have to be new.” With the help of a couple local businesses and individuals donating, Haire said they are down to the last push where they are in need of more socks, mittens and backpacks. Volunteer Geri Pettersson said she has volunteered with the Salvation Army truck downtown Toronto and has seen first hand the need for basic items. “Sometimes they don’t have scarves and socks, they’ve got shoes filled with newspaper and socks are so important,” she said. “It’s amazing what the volunteers do and what kind of need there is, it’s heartbreaking.” Pettersson said she was on board to support the initiative as soon as she heard about it. “The more people who can get involved the less tragedy there’s going to be on the streets of Toronto when cold, cold weather hits,” she said. Donated items can be dropped off at the Frankford United Church Tuesday-Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the Frankford Legion from noon to 7 p.m. MondayFriday and everyday during office hours at Steve’s Auto repair in Frankford.

Quinte West artist designs second coin for mint Recliners for

By Erin Stewart

Frankford – Quinte West artist Doug Comeau can add a second coin design for the Royal Canadian Mint to his list of accomplishments. “It was obviously a great honour to get a call from the mint, so I gladly accepted it,” said Comeau at his gallery in his home in Frankford on Thursday Sept. 15. “I had about a month to do it so it was a short timeline which it always is.” The $20 face value silver coin is called the Benevolent Bison and is part of a five-coin 2016 majestic animal series. Released on Sept. 6, the coin features a bison in colour using a mixture of etching in silver and colour on top. “It’s so detailed, it looks almost like a hologram,” said Comeau. “They were pretty intricate, they know what they want, so it takes a few vets and a few refinements to make sure that they can electronically reproduce the piece so certain things have to be highlighted and defined.” Comeau’s first experience with the Royal Canadian Mint came in 2013 when he was asked to enter into a Nation wide contest that he won and designed his first coin featuring a bison. As an artist Comeau said it’s great to have a little bit of limelight and for

Comeau said he is also selling framing packages with the coin along with a separate drawing of the bison as the original drawing is copyrighted. With the second coin in the books, Comeau said he hopes to partner with the mint again in the future. “Hopefully there is a future with me and the Royal Canadian Mint, I don’t see why not.” Comeau can be contacted through his website at timberwolfgallery.com

Habitat for Humanity home a new start for this Belleville mom, children By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – Anita Ramji and her children Liberty and Rafi have a new home. They also have enough well wishes to fill a living room. Dozens of people came out for a ceremony on Sept. 14 to welcome the latest recipients of a home built by Habitatfor Humanity Prince EdwardHastings. Speakers representing all three levels of government came to bring greetings and praise the great work of the non-profit organization. “Because of your efforts housing is becoming more affordable,” said Belleville city councillor Garnet Thompson, to the group of Habitat supporters. The home is located at 131 Golfdale Road, in Belleville’s east end. It’s just three doors down from another recent Habitat for Humanity build. That home was recently built

for Amanda Carr and her five children. Amanda and her kids came out to the ceremony for their new neighbours, just three months after they had their own welcoming ceremony. Amanda and Anita have similar stories of struggle and perseverance. Both had to go through Habitat’s lengthy application process before they were selected to receive the home. Chair of the selection committee, Nancy Troke, spoke at the ceremony and made it clear Anita was the right choice for this home. She said the mother works two jobs to raise her two children. Before moving in to the Golfdale Road home she was paying $1,200 a month to rent a unit and it was in “disrepair.” Before that, she lived in a rough neighbourhood. “I won’t name the place, but it wasn’t a great place to raise kids,” Troke said.

After being selected to receive the home, she put in the 500 “sweat equity” hours demanded of recipients during the construction process. “You’re an amazingly hardworking woman, Anita,” Troke said. “I’m so proud of you.” A myth that Habitat for Humanity is still trying to shatter is that homes are given to people free of charge. That’s not true at all, say Habitat officials. The home is sold to a successful applicant at market value and they have to pay a mortgage. However, the mortgage is arranged so there’s no interest on the loan and monthly payments do not exceed 18 per cent of the owner’s income. That makes life much easier for the new owners, Habitat officials say, as many renters lose more than 30 per cent of their income while paying rent, a point at which many people are at risk of being homeless or living in poverty.

Anita Ramji and her children Liberty, 13, and Rafi, 8, moved into a new home, constructed with help from Habitat to Humanity. During a welcoming ceremony they were presented with a certificate from Matt Richardson (right), on behalf of the office of Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis. Photo by Stephen Petrick

OPINION

Syria: Another ceasefire bites the dust? As the Syrian ceasefire arranged by the United States and Russia teeters on the brink of collapse, it’s clear that the main problem lies in Washington. Moscow’s goal has never been in doubt: it wants the regime of Bashar al-Assad to surGwynne Dyer vive. The Obama administration has been reluctantly moving towards the same conclusion, but it simply can’t admit it, even to itself. The Russian government bitterly condemned the American air strike that killed 60 to 80 Syrian army personnel on Saturday, but everybody knows that air strikes sometimes hit the wrong people. It was a mistake, that’s all, and the Russians really understand that – but it was a mistake that tells us a lot about how far the US has moved. Until recently the United States, still formally pledged to overthrow the Assad regime, would not attack Islamic State troops if they were fighting the Syrian army. (That’s why Islamic State captured the historic city of Palmyra two years ago: the US air force would not strike the long and vulnerable IS line of communications across the desert, because that would have been “helping Assad”.) But the US air attack that went astray at Deir es-Zor last weekend was targeting Islamic State troops who were in direct contact with the Syrian army. It’s because the two sides were so close together that the planes hit the Syrian troops by mistake. American diplomats still deny it, but the US is now willing to help Assad, at least sometimes. The strategic calculation that has driven US Secretary of State John Kerry into this uncomfortable position is brutally simple. If Assad’s regime does not survive, then the extreme Islamists will take over all of Syria. The fantasy of a “third force” in Syria, made up of democracy-loving non-Islamist rebels who could defeat both the Islamists and Assad, has died even in the US State Department and the Pentagon. The “moderate” rebels that the United States has backed for so long make up no more than 10 or 15 per cent of the real fighting strength of the anti-Assad forces, and most of them are actually allied to the Islamists. In fact, the “moderates” wouldn’t survive long without their Islamist alliance,

so it’s time for Washington to abandon them. The ceasefire terms show that Kerry has implicitly accepted that logic, for they demand that the Syrian government and the “moderates” stop shooting and bombing, whereupon the American and Russian air forces will cooperate in bombing the Islamists. And the targets will not only be Islamic State but also the al-Qaeda-linked group that was known until recently as the Nusra Front. The Nusra Front saw this coming, so last month it changed its name to Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (Front for the Conquest of Syria) and said that it has cut its ties with al-Qaeda. (An al-Qaeda spokeman said that the terrorist organisation understood the Nusra Front’s need to break the public link, and wasn’t angry at its Syrian branch.) But even Washington could see through this flimsy disguise, and Nusra (under its new name) is still on the hit list. Unfortunately, the “moderate” groups are not only in close alliance with Nusra, but are physically mixed in with the Islamist forces. They will get bombed too if they do not break their links with the Islamist extremists and somehow move away from them, so the ceasefire co-sponsored by the US and Russia demands that they do exactly that. Unfortunately, they can’t. They can’t do it because on their own they could never hope to overthrow the Assad regime and also because the Islamists will start killing them as traitors if they even try to break away. So the “moderates” haven’t really accepted the ceasefire either, and the Russians are quite right to complain that they have “not met a single obligation” of the truce. Everything we know about the ceasefire argues that the Obama administration has accepted the regrettable necessity of leaving the Assad regime in power, although it still cannot bring itself to say so publicly. A year from now, the areas controlled by the Assad regime, including at least threequarters of the Syrian population, will probably be the same as now or maybe a little bit bigger. The surviving “moderates”, having detached themselves from al-Nusra, will hold little bits of territory and will be observing a real ceasefire. The Kurds will still control a band of territory across the extreme north of Syria unless Turkey has waged and won a full-scale war to conquer it. And the Russians and the Americans will both be bombing the territories still controlled by Islamic State and the former Nusra Front, although in less than perfect harmony.

Get the widow on the set, we need dirty laundry Editorial by Chris Malette What you will find here, readers of the newspaper jury, is a compelling case to allow television cameras into most all court proceedings in Canada. In Alberta, the Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Denny Thomas last week aired on television, in its entirety, his verdict on murder charges against Travis Vader accused in the 2010 disappearance and presumed deaths of Lyle and Marie McCann. Thomas likely aired his verdict – and that was all viewers saw – in an effort to stanch the bleeding of the last vestiges of public trust in the justice system in this case. During the Vader case, there was a long-running feud between the media, the Crown prosecutors, the judge in the case, Thomas, and even the RCMP investigating the case over mountains of suspect evidence, publication bans and all manner of restrictions imposed on media over what evidence they were or were not allowed to see in the case. It got so absurd, that the Crown threw out the charges against Vader, only to re-arrest him again a short time later. Perhaps, after all the crazy shenanigans involving the RCMP, the Crown, tussles with the media, stayed charges and re-arrests, the judge, Thomas, decided it was best to just let TV cameras in to see every word and syllable of his ruling and verdict in the case. No one knows, because he said simply he believed it would be done one time only and that one time only in an effort to, as he put it, increase confidence in the judicial system. We should see more of the workings of the courts and this former court reporter, who long warmed press benches in spectacularly uncomfortable settings in courtrooms across this region, says we should open the doors to the televised proceedings to all but the most sensitive of cases. Here’s a case that would have beaten M*A*S*H* in the TV ratings of the early 1980s, had it ever been televised in Belleville. The late mayor George Zegouras operated a variety store in the plaza he owned on Dundas Street East, now just east of the TSC store. In that variety store, as in most every other variety store in Belleville, Ontario and, for that matter, acrss Canada, were some magazines tucked away up in the top rack, some wrapped in plastic but all of the, ahem, salacious variety known as girlie mags.

One day, the coppers in this town – under whose direction we’ve forgot, lost in the mists of time – raided Zegouras’ shop and took into evidence several racy magazines before charging the hapless mayor with possession of obscene material for the purpose of resale, or some such nonsense. Nonsense, we see it as now, with the proliferation of the Internet and the magazine smut industry gone the way of buggy-whips, corset stays and, hell, some newspapers. When it all came to court, one hang-em-high provincial court judge, J.L. Clendenning was hearing the case. Those of us fortunate enough to be in the court that day on Clendenning’s verdict were treated to something Jerry Seinfield couldn’t have dreamed up for a sit-com. Clendenning wanted to ensure, in the record of jurisprudence, there was evidence of the kind of smut and stuff of which Zegouras was charged with peddling. So he proceeded, I kid you not, to read into the record – with the court stenographer dutifuly taking down every word – to read aloud the story in “Boobs `n Buns” of the tale of ‘The Naughty Nurse.’ In his baritone, sonorous voice, old J.L. began reading aloud “There she came, into my hospital room, busting out of her clinging nurse’s uniform…” and more. Oh, much, much more. Giggles erupted from the prisoners’ box, which J.L. promptly cleared to the holding cells, warning the rest of us – cops, lawyers, social workers all – that we too would be booted from the court if we so much snickered. Most every man, woman and school spectator in the court stared at the floor, bit their cheeks, their tongues, their lips – all in an effort to keep from erupting in gales of laughter at the absurdity of it all. Imagine it, if you can, on television. In the end, Zegouras had charges against him stayed, but, right there in some dusty tome of legal precedents and trial transcripts you can find The Queen vs. Zegouras and the case of the smutty mags and naughty nurses and all that kind of stuff that now seems almost laughable to all but the most pickle-suppositoried among us. A trite example for such a serious issue as allowing cameras in the courts? Perhaps. But, you know you’d tune in for the latest chapter of Naughty Nurse, as read in all its majestic timbre, by J.L. Clendenning if you could.

424 (T&R) Sqn SAR techs drop emergency radio and medical aid equipment to stranded hunters on Bylot Island near Pond Inlet, Nunavut, on Sept. 14. Submitted photo

424 (T&R) Squadron Hercules assists in rescuing stranded hunters in Nunavut CFB Trenton – A CC-130H Hercules and a search and rescue crew from 8 Wing joined HMCS Shawinigan and a chartered Canadian helicopter in an Arctic SAR mission to help stranded hunters in the vicinity of Bylot Island, near Pond Inlet, Nunavit last week. Rescue 336 from 424 Transport and Rescue (T&R) Squadron responded to the call at 12:19 p.m. on Sept. 14. Upon arrival in the search area,

Rescue 336 quickly found the group and proceeded to drop radio equipment near the stranded hunters to establish communications between both parties. Medical aid equipment was also dropped. At approximately 7:30 p.m. on that day, the four people were recovered from Bylot Island by the chartered Canadian helicopter and transported safely to Pond Inlet, after which Rescue 336 returned to Trenton.

“When we arrived, we knew that any drops would prove to be very challenging,” said Major (Maj.) Steve McAlpine, Rescue 336 Flight Commander. “There were isolated snow showers in the area giving ragged ceilings. After a relatively quick shore crawl search, we found the casualties on the south western tip of Bylot Island and assisted the other assets to get them to safety.”

New members appointed to Stirling Library Board By Terry McNamee

Stirling – Stirling-Rawdon Council has approved the appointment of three new members to the public library board. The newcomers are Donald Burr, Mano McNabb and Shari Elson O’Garr, who join existing members Pat Anderson, Miranda DeJong, Councillor Bob Mullin and chair Councillor Dean Graff. The new members were chosen from 25 applications received for the three open positions during a special council meeting held at 2:45 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 19. They were then confirmed by the passing of a bylaw at the regularly-scheduled council

meeting Monday evening. The appointments were made quickly due to the fact that the library board was scheduled to meet the following night, and did not have enough members in place without the new appointees. The openings on the board occurred as a result of the resignations of Denyse Mouck in July and Stephanie Monk (who left Ontario) and Stephanie Blake in August. In other council news, Wayne Martin was in the audience to hear council pass a bylaw to authorize Mayor Rodney Cooney and Acting Clerk Tawnya Donald to execute a development agreement between him and the township regarding his two

adjoining parcels of land on the west side of Henry Street in Stirling. Martin has been trying to get this accomplished for eight years, and was all smiles as Council passed the bylaw. This enables him to go ahead and sell the land for development, with the possibility of severing it to create to building lots. Two additional bylaws affecting Henry Street also were passed. One prohibits parking on the east side of Henry Street from the Rawdon Creek Bridge to Elizabeth Street and the other reduces the speed limit on Henry Street from 50 kph to 40 kph between West Front Street and the Township boundary with Quinte West.

Northumberland-Quinte West – MPP Lou Rinaldi presided over his first meeting as chair of the provincial Liberal caucus, Sept. 13. Rinaldi was acclaimed to the position in the summer by fellow Liberal members of government. “It’s a real honour to be recognized and given the confidence that I’m able to do that job, and I certainly look forward to working with my colleagues,” he said in an interview. To have that show of “respect from your peers ... means a lot.” The 59 elected members of his party meet in caucus for three hours every Tuesday when the House is in session, and mostly by way of teleconferences when it’s not. His duties as caucus chair include working through an agenda “based on the needs of the members and the premier [as to] what they want to talk about, and make sure that happens in an orderly fashion,” Rinaldi said. He also works closely with the regional caucuses – eastern, western, northern, Toronto and GTA – to ensure their issues come to the table at the meetings which are closed sessions. “We talk about potential policies, potential ways we want to move as a party,” and as a government, Rinaldi said, and those discussions include “how things might impact different areas of the province.” His goal “is to try to keep people focused and on time,” he said. It’s in caucus where the high cost of electricity would have been discussed, and this week the Liberal government put forward its plan to help residents, farmers and businesses with their hydro bills. It announced Monday that it would be eliminating the provincial portion of the harmonized sales tax on hydro, a savings of 8 per cent for all users. But hydro users in rural areas, where delivery charges for the transmission of electricity are higher, will receive an additional reduction of 12 per cent, when the cuts take effect in January, Rinaldi said.

“This is a big start, it’s a big help, it’s not tweaking with something,” he said. “It’s a commitment that we’re making that’s substantial.” The Liberals also announced they will be creating 100,000 daycare spaces for newborns to four-year-olds over the next five years. Rinaldi said his government is “still on target to balance the budget” by fiscal year 2017-18. The deficit stood at $11 billion four years ago and was projected to be $3 billion in the current budget. “Once the budget is balanced, hopefully we can start working on the [$300 billion] debt,” Rinaldi said.

Belleville, Quinte West to host Eastern Ontario Local Food Conference Nov. 23

This water buffalo was on display at the Stirling Water Buffalo Festival. Photo by Terry McNamee

A perfect day in Stirling for water buffalo Stirling – The Stirling Water Buffalo Festival on Saturday, Sept. 17, lasted more than three hours before the predicted rain arrived, but with the summer drought, no one was complaining — least of all the water buffalo, who no doubt enjoyed in the showers! The event, which ran from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., attracted an excellent crowd, pleasing organizer Terry Vollum. “Last year, we had the threat of bad weather, too,” he said. “We’re thrilled.” The annual festival is a joint venture of the local Lions and Rotary clubs and, of course, would not be complete without the water buffalo

of the Ontario Water Buffalo Company in Stirling. This year, there was a cow plus several young calves on display to meet the public, and vendors sold a large variety of products using water buffalo meat, milk and cheese. There was live music throughout the day, plus a couple of performances featuring excerpts from the Stirling Festival Theatre Young Company’s upcoming production of Little Shop of Horrors. “Dave Bush put all the music together for us,” Vollum said. The free Water Buffalo Festival included a very popular Kidz Zone for children. There also were shuttle bus rides to and from Farmtown Park.

STORE HOURS: Monday thru Sunday 8:00am - 10:00pm

Local food producers, processors and champions will converge on the Quinte area this fall to attend the Eastern Ontario Local Food Conference where they will tour local food hotspots, enjoy a tasting of Eastern Ontario local foods, and learn from a number of speakers and experts, including “Locavore” author, Sarah Elton. Registration is now open for the sixth annual Eastern Ontario Local Food Conference hosted by the Cities of Belleville and Quinte West, in partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. This year’s conference theme, “Mission: Resilience”, will explore the impact of climate change on the local food system, and the opportunities and challenges it creates. A highlight of the program is the keynote address by Elton on November 23. Elton is a Toronto-based journalist and best-selling author. Her first book Locavore: From Farmers’ Fields to Rooftop Gardens, How Canadians Are Changing the Way We Eat won Gold at the Canadian Culinary Book Awards and was named one of Amazon’s top 50 books of 2010. Her second book titled Consumed:

Food for a Finite Planet made the national bestseller list in its first week and is based on Elton’s reporting on the sustainable food movement in countries such as India and France. Elton has written for publications such as Maclean’s magazine, The Globe and Mail and The New York Times, and is the food columnist for CBC Radio One’s Here and Now. Says Elton about the conference theme: “Farmers, food producers and the people in the communities they feed in Ontario are increasingly recognizing the importance of building resilience into our local food systems. This will be an important coming together of ideas and innovation.” Once again this year, a pre-conference local food tour will be held on November 22, with stops throughout

the Quinte region that demonstrate resilience in the agriculture and culinary sectors. Later that evening, an Eastern Ontario Local Food Extravaganza will feature tastes from across Eastern Ontario. In addition to touring and tasting, participants will have the opportunity to collaborate with local food stakeholders, be inspired by speakers and network with peers and industry experts. The conference draws 200+ participants each year from all sectors and all counties in Eastern Ontario and beyond. Content this year will focus on building resilience in the local food sector. The sessions will concentrate primarily on sustainability, infrastructure, and business development.

Cancer ride remembers those lost, helps fight for better future By Sarah Hyatt

Brighton – Those who’ve lost their battle with childhood cancer will not be forgotten. This much was clear in the community, on Monday, Sept. 19, as dozens of local residents and people from Quinte West, Belleville and the Northumberland areas rallied to welcome cyclists at Memorial Park, during the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride. Described as one of the most ambitious charity events on behalf of childhood cancer worldwide, the event raises funds for research and also serves to remember those who’ve passed. Katie Wilson, a teenager from Carrying Place, was one of the many kids remembered Monday. “She battled valiantly,” said her mom, Evelyn Wilson. Katie left her family just shy of her 16th birthday. Evelyn and her husband Brent have been involved with the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation, which hosts the bike event for several years now. “We just like to volunteer wherever we can and lend a hand,” said Evelyn. The couple cheered about 20 cyclists on, with all they had as the bikers approached Memorial Park. Their daughter Katie was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (the same cancer as Terry Fox) in June 2010. Eight months later, she was gone. Katie’s story was one of many shared on signs, which lined Memorial Park for the event. Cyclists travelled from Pickering and stopped in Brighton for a short break, before embarking on the road again to Belleville. The Coast-to-Coast group has become family for the Wilsons, said Evelyn. “We just want to help – we love to help,” she said. “This is a great organization, with 100 per cent of the funds going to the cause and if we can help

a family to not got through what we have and change that outcome, that’s what this is about.” Elaine Poot, owner of The Robbins Nest downtown, as a Sears catalogue agent hosted the pit stop for cyclists. The Downtown Business Improvement Association (DBIA) sponsored the food for cyclists. Other Brightonians and local businessowners rallied together to provide more baked goods and food for the group, so cyclists while visiting with community members during their stop could enjoy a snack. This is the fifth year Poot has played host. The lawn bowling club opened its doors to ensure cyclists could use the washroom facilities and Mayor Mark Walas dropped by to cheer on the group and hand out municipal pins, as a way to say “thank you” to the riders for their commitment to the cause. Cyclists began their 18-day journey in Vancouver on Sept. 7. The group completes their trek in Halifax, on Sept. 24. Selected national riders, which this year include two residents from Belleville, cycle in relay style, travelling 150-220 kilometres a day. Along the way, cyclists participate

in an array of community events, visiting with many of Canada’s 17 pediatric oncology centres and hospitals, where “inspiring stories of strength and hope” are shared. Each rider raises $25,000 to participate in the fundraiser. That means Damon Allen and Eric Lindenberg, from Belleville raised $50,000. Both have been touched by cancer in their lives. Allen, who’s participated in the ride four times, once as a volunteer, said, “you do see the impact” the ride has for people. Stories shared with him on his journey have inspired him. “We’re going to keep fighting until there’s no more need for fighting,” he said. “We look like heroes but really, we’re just riding bikes. The kids really are the ones who are heroes here.” Lindenberg, who’s had friends like Allen participate in the event, decided to take part, as he was one of many touched by the loss of Thomas Martin – an 11-year-old boy from Belleville, mourned by the community earlier this year, as he lost his battle with Gilomatosis cerebi, a form of cancer of the brain. The pair dedicated their ride Monday to Thomas.

(Above) Belleville residents and two participants of this year’s Sears National Kids Cancer Ride, Damon Allen and Eric Lindenberg, raised $50,000 for cancer research.

Golden Hawks score former Patriots’ power forward Jeremy Pullara By Erin Stewart

Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks and Toronto Patriots have reached a trade agreement resulting in Trenton acquiring power forward Jeremy Pullara in exchange for goaltender Tyler Fassl and forward Dante Spagnuolo. Pullara, the 19-year-old Woodbridge native, had been with the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Toronto Patriots since 2014 and totalled 27 goals and 17 assists in 53 games last season. He said being traded to the GHawks was ideal. “I really wanted to play for Trenton this year,” said Pullara, after the GHawks’ home game on Friday, Sept. 16. “They’re just a real powerhouse organization, it’s a good situation here.” Not only was Pullara drawn to the G-Hawks’ strong organization, he said he was also drawn to Trenton’s great fan base. “I knew they were always a topnotch organization, a lot of great support from the fans and you know that was a really big thing for me because not a lot of teams in this league get the kind of support that Trenton does and it’s really great to see,” he said. The trade is not officially complete because the last of the paperwork is being finalized but Pullara said he can’t wait to get back out on the ice. “My first game will probably be against the Patriots, my old team, next Wednesday so we’ll see how that goes,” he said. “I’m pretty excited about it to

finally get going, it’s been a while.” G-Hawks coach Jerome Dupont said the trade has been in the works for a long time, since mid-June, and they’re working hard to complete the last of the administration. “Obviously it’s tough losing a couple of good players in Fassl and Spagnuolo, but Pullara is an impact player,” said Dupont. Not only is Pullara a high-scoring forward, “he’s a good leader, he’s been through the wars and understands what it takes to win the big games and I think he will make a substantial contribution,” said Dupont.

G-Hawks win big over Flyers, rack up two-digit goal tally By Erin Stewart

Trenton – The red light behind visiting nets are almost like a strobe light as the Golden Hawks continue to light the lamp with big tallies. Trenton Golden Hawks’ Michael Silveri, Austin Bottrell, Liam Morgan and Ben Scheel scored two goals each to lead the Hawks to a 10-1 victory against the Orangeville Flyers on Friday Sept. 16 in Trenton. Five goals scored in the first period was the start to another high-scoring game for the Hawks’ third game of the regu-

lar season. The Hawks won their first regular season game 11-2 against Newmarket and 7-0 vs. Lindsay.

“We just can’t always depend on that and we’ve got to keep playing a real good two-way game,” he said. “I think, for the most part, we have and the defence has created the offense.” He said it’s encouraging to see a great contribution from

new faces and goaltender Janzen has done well so far. “I don’t know if he’s been tested a whole lot, he’s definitely got to improve his puck handling, that’s an area that we have to address and also playing in games that you don’t get

a lot of shots, which may be something new for him as well.” The G-Hawks hit the road to play the Toronto Patriots on Wednesday Sept. 21 and then host Pickering at home on Friday Sept. 23 at 7:30 p.m.

She swam 387-kilometre Trent-Severn miracle swim in memory of her daughter By Erin Stewart

Trenton – A Peterborough area realtor emerged from the waters of the Trent River here Sunday with a triumphant goal achieved. With 387 kilometres swum and $30,509 raised, Trudy Wilson completed her journey along the Trent-Severn Waterway in Trenton and surpassed her $25,000 goal to raise money for the Lauren Taylor Wilson Pledge Fund. “I’m really happy that I finished and we surpassed the goal,” said Wilson after finishing the last leg of the swim in Trenton on Sunday, Sept. 18. “I honestly have to say I wasn’t even sure if I could complete it but, with all of the support that I’ve had from friends and family who believed I could do it even long before I believed I could, we were able to get it done.” Greeted at her final destination be a crowd of around 80

supporters, Wilson said the warm welcome by so many people was quite an emotional surprise. Wilson’s #miracleswim symbolically started on May 15 of this year, which would have been Lauren’s 18th birthday. Trudy, a Bridgenorth resident, and RE/MAX realtor, and her husband Harvey created the pledge in memory of their daughter, who died two days after she was born due to birth injuries. The money raised will support high-priority needs at Sick Kids Hospital in medical research, education and patient care through the Possibilities Fund. She spent the next couple of months preparing for the swim, which began in July at Port Severn. She has been swimming close to 10 kilometres a day for at least four days a week, overcoming different challenges throughout each leg of the journey and she has many

Wilson said she feels amazing being able to give back to Sick Kids while also creating a legacy for her daughter. “Right now her name is on a plaque on the donor wall in Sick Kids and that means something to me as a mother but also to say thank you to Sick Kids for the care we received,” she said.

“It’s bigger than words, it’s just bigger than words,” she said. “She’s a remarkable individual to have thought of doing it and laid out the framework to do it and actually accomplish it is amazing beyond words.” Strojevs said it was extremely important for her mother and herself to meet Wilson at the end of her journey. “We really wanted to be here, wouldn’t have missed it,” she said. “It’s beyond amazing, spectacular accomplishment, she’s a great, great lady.” A little bit of relaxation is hopefully in the near future, said Wilson, but she expects life will go back to the status-quo shortly because she needs to get back to work and take care of her family and clients.

County Music Fest has a grand opener By Jack Evans

Prince Edward County - When a concert both starts and ends with an ensemble party song, you know you’ve had a good time. The annual Prince Edward County Music Festival opened Saturday evening at St. Mary Magdalene Church, Picton , with a show called “A Grand Night for Singing.” Festival Artistic Director Stephane Lemelin quipped in his opening remarks that “If we’d known about the weather (It was raining at the time.) We’d have called it a Grand Night for ‘Singing in the Rain.” The opening was a rousing chorus from Verdi’s “Libiamo,” in which a lover proposes a toast to his new love in the prescence of her merry friends, who eagerly join in the song. |Then the program turned to marking the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare in 1616 with some delightful songs from his plays, soliloquies and serious songs and the poison scene from Gounod’s opera, “Romeo and Juliette .Fill-in soprano Rachel Kehm did a remarkable job. Ditto for Sir John Falstaff ’s comic attempts to win friends and influence wives in “The Merry

Wives of Windsor,” with Simone McIntosh and Ana Toumine speaking the witty lines and singing too. Mozrart’s “Die Zauberflote” (The Magic Flute) is always good for a hoot when the three ladies try to help poor Papageno and the Prince resolve their quest in the jolly Quintet. Beautiful and poignant was Jean Philippe McClish’s performance of Wagner’s beauiful area from Tannhauser, the ode to the evening star. So the evening went, with the panel of young, confident and super talented singers performing in English, French, Italian and German, solos, duets and ensemble numbers, with Patrick Hansen, director of Opera McGill’s program , on the piano. Several songs were range-challenging, but these hearty voices easily filled the hall on key and acted out their parts as well. On the lighter side, the Vilia song from LeHar’s “The Merry Widow” added an audience-pleaser touch, closing with the rousing party song from Johann Strauss’s “Die Fledermaus,” Champagne Finale, in which the singers blame all their problems on too much champagne. Other singers were, Simone

McIntosh, mezzo soprano and Asitha Tennekoon, tenor, Anaa Toumine, soprano, and JeanPhilippe McClure, baritone. The festival continues next

weekend with two performances by the LaFayette string Quartet. Lemelin acknowledged in an interview that this year’s fourconcert festival is substantially

scaled down from past years. “It is only for this year,” he stressed. “We are going through a transition. Next year’s festival will be larger again.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Man named Weed busted for growing pot

The high and mighty in the media

Dear Editor, This is in response to Chris Malette’s morally superior and highly disparaging editorial last week regarding Kelly Leitch’s proposal to screen future immigrants for non-Canadian values. He quotes a recent poll conducted for the Toronto Star that reports that 67% of Canadians indeed agree with Leitch, that forced marriages, genital mutilation or honour killings to mention a few little cultural traditions, are not the way to go in this neck of the woods. He further states that this large group of Canadians, who want to screen for these reprehensible beliefs, are basically a bunch of beer swilling donut eating rednecks that should be proud to breathe the same air as him and his politically correct ilk. He points out that immigration is a great thing (which it is) and no one should oppose bringing in newcomers (a no brainer) but he and many other media elites just don’t get the basic

problem. In the last century, millions of hard working Italians, Irish, German, Chinese, French, Dutch, Polish etc. etc. immigrants landed on our shores ready to work hard and make a better life for themselves. Canada is a better place because of them. I asked some of my old buddies, (who jumped off of the boat from Holland in the forties) this morning in the coffee shop, if they had ever considered drowning their daughters in the Rideau Canal if those daughters wanted to act like average Canadian girls and maybe kiss a boy once in a while. You can probably guess what their answer was. I’m sure that most of you are aware, but for those of you who are not, there is a husband, wife and son presently serving a life sentence for that exact crime here in Canada. Simply put, there is good immigration and there is bad immigration. Mr. Malette suggests that we are being unfairly critical of folks from one certain part of the world (The Middle

East). Most people in the world generally think alike. Most have a love for freedom, safety and happiness, but it is an inconvenient truth that some, from certain areas of the planet just don’t seem to fit in. Their ideas are simply too different from ours. Some of those people’s ideas are completely incompatible and it is no sin to prefer that they live elsewhere. Mr. Malette’s broad dismissal of 67 % of the Canadian population reminds me of Hillary Clinton’s recent remarks that Donald Trump’s supporters are a basket of deplorables. Nice talk for folks who are constantly reminding Conservatives how intolerant we are. I submit, that the reason for the rise of people like Donald Trump is because of the never-ending barrage of condescending, sanctimonious, morally superior attitudes of left leaning folks like Mr. Malette being shoved down the throats of regular Joes like you and I. Doug Gower, Codrington

A man appropriately named Weed was one of three Belleville men busted Sept. 13 in a joint investigation into a variety of marijuana grow operations in farmers’ fields. Ian Weed, 34, was one of the men arrested in what police called an elaborate hidden pot production network. The arrests occurred Sept. 13 following an investigation focusing on the illegal production of marijuana in what police described as “unsuspecting farmer’s fields.” The charges followed a combined effort by members of the Belleville Police Service Drug Unit, Emergency Response Team and members of the OPP Drug Enforcement Unit in which police conducted a traffic stop in the Thurlow Ward of Belleville and arrested the two men in a vehicle. Following the traffic stop, police executed three search warrants at residences in Belleville and Thurlow. Police allege the investigation “revealed that the accused had planted marijuana plants throughout fields in the Thurlow ward of Belleville, Thomasburg and the Melrose area.” As a result of the search warrants and the vehicle stop, police seized a quantity of marijuana plants, cash, digital weigh scales and a Ford F-150 pick-up truck. Charged are: Adam Rushlow, 39, of Belleville. Rushlow is facing five counts of production of marijuana, possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime. Weed, 34, of Belleville, faces two counts of production of marijuana and possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.

TRAVEL

Luxembourg’s Spectacular Bock Promontory and Casemates By John M. Smith

My visit to Luxembourg was full of awesome surprises and spectacular sights, for it was my first encounter with this little gem that’s located right in the heart of Europe, and bordered by France, Belgium, and Germany. The city of Luxembourg itself, in the country of Luxembourg, appears to be like something out of a fairy tale, with its castle ruins and its many eye-popping turrets, towers, and fortifications. My favourite attraction of all was located in the northeast corner of the capital city’s old historical district, for it’s here that I marvelled at the Bock promontory and its incredible network of tunnels. The Bock Promontory is a massive rock ledge that towers high above the Alzette River Valley, so it serves as a natural fortification, and it offers spectacular views of the surrounding area. It was here, way back in 963, that Count Siegfried decided to build a castle, and he named it “Lucilinburhuc” (“small fortification”), thus founding what has become Luxembourg. This promontory, then, is often referred to as “the cradle of the city”. As the years passed, the castle and the surrounding town that grew here were strengthened by the addition of more fortifications, walls and gates, and it eventually became known as the “Gibraltar of the North”. A series of tunnels was also added, beginning in the 17th century (under Spanish domination), and later these casemates (chasms) were enlarged and expanded to become an

extraordinary 23 km.- long network, with huge galleries, strategic lookout points, cannon loop-holes, and a complex underground infrastructure that housed defenders, along with their horses, supplies, artillery, and equipment. However, under the terms of a treaty signed in 1867, Luxembourg had to demolish these fortifications, and most of the surface fortifications were, indeed, destroyed, but many of the casemates remained intact. By 1933, these casemates were opened to the public, used as a bomb shelter during WWII, and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site by 1994 – and it’s now possible for visitors to take tours through this incredible labyrinth of underground tunnels (from the end of March until the end of October). I, of course, took this tour, and I found it fascinating. Only about 10% of the old fortifications remain, but those mammoth tunnels that are carved into the rocky precipice are quite the experience! Many of the former loop-holes, used as emplacements for the cannons that were brought into these casemates, are now closed up, but there’s still quite a network of tunnels, chambers, and balconies, and it would be possible to get somewhat disoriented and spend quite some time trying to find one’s way out of here, perhaps a bit like an insect wandering about in a Swiss cheese. Stairs led me down to a huge archaeological crypt where wall plates gave me an overview of the fortification’s history, and then more stairs took me down through the

dungeons of Siegfried’s old castle. I was particularly fascinated by my visit to the Castle Bridge, built back in the 18th century (by the Austrians), which connected the Bock fortifications to the Old Town. I found that there were several optional ways to cross this bridge, including a spiral staircase up through the main arch, a passageway via the four upper arches, a tunnel under the road at the bottom, and a road over the top, too. I found that the most awesome view of the promontory and tunnel loop-holes was from the Corniche, a pedestrian promenade that’s often referred to as “Europe’s most beautiful balcony”. From here, up on the escarpment, I could also see into the river valley far below, with its winding, gentle river, its dominating Neumunster Abbey (which once housed Benedictine monks, later served as both a hospital and a prison, and now is a cultural meeting place), its still maintained convent gardens, its small footbridge (“Stierchen”), and its distant railroad trestle that towers over the valley. I also partook in the “Wenzel Walk”, which guided me through the history of the city. This particular walk is named after Wencelas II, the Duke of Luxembourg between 1383 and 1419, and during this time, a third wall (the Wenzel Wall) was added to the fortifications. A section of this amazing structure still exists today. This particular wall had 37 towers and 15 gates, and it linked Upper Town and the Rham Plateau. Archeologists have

discovered that a moat once existed in front of this wall. I passed the Grund Gate, a bastioned gate built by the Spaniards in 1632, and I descended into the river valley itself. I eventually ascended a staircase and arrived at the Second Gate Of Trier (built in 1590), and I later arrived at another old city gate, Biesserpuert, and the Grund Lock (which constituted yet another obstacle for attacking troops, for the city’s two rivers could then be dammed up). I completed this circular walk by again ascending out of the valley and

arriving at the Holy Ghost Plateau, which was inhabited by a cloister of nuns back in the 13th century. Guided tours of this Wenzel Walk are available for about 15 EUR, and you’ll stroll about 5 km. in a couple of hours. It’ll cover about a thousand years of Luxembourg history and will also provide you with several ‘photo ops’ and spectacular views of this beautiful city, including its notto-be-missed Bock promontory and casemates.

Historical Society a busy group By Jack Evans

Among the many Quinte area organizations launching busy schedules for the fall season is the Hastings County Historical Society. Arguably one of the area’s more venerable organizations, the HCHS holds free public presentations on local history on the third Tuesday of every month, starting Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. in the back hall of Maranatha Church, when the speaker will be Bobby Jo Morris, talking on the history of Shannonville. On Oct. 18, author and historian Sandra Joyce will speak on The British Home Children from 1869 to 1939. That includes a number of children who came to the Quinte area. On Nov. 15, author and historian Sherry Pringle will discuss her recent book,” Extraordinary Women- Extraordinary Times: Canadian Women in WW II.” One of the society’s major annual events and a key fund raiser is its annual banquet, set for Saturday, Oct. 22 in the Travelodge Hotel.

flyers. coupons. deals. cash back.

One of Canada’s most acclaimed authors and newspaper columnists, Roy MacGregor, will join the parade of outstanding speakers over the years for this event. MacGregor was born in Whitney and raised in Huntsville, thus he is familiar with our north country and his topic: “Bumblebees and Maple Leaves.” His many books include several devoted to Algonquin Park, especially the famous artist, Tom Thomson. His latest book is “Canoe Country: The Making of Canada.” His many awards include both literary and Officer of the Order of Canada. He is also acclaimed as a writer on hockey and a script writer for major television productions. Tickets, at $65, are now available for an evening which includes a social hour starting at 6 p.m., banquet at 7 p.m. with choice of salmon or chicken. Call Mary-Lynne Morgan at 961-7091 or Richard Hughes at 9617772. Readers can also learn more about the work of the society at its website: www.hastingshistory. ca.

OBITUARY

The Rev. Dr. W. Joseph Price Died on Tuesday September 13, 2016 in Central Okanagan Hospice House, Kelowna, BC at the age of 90. Joe was born May 12, 1926 in Barrie, Ontario, the fourth son of Rev. Major Merritt Price and Dorothy (Harrison) Price. He is survived by his wife Susie (Vera Gordon), three children: Kathryn, Andrew and Peter; five grandchildren: Angela, Melissa, Amanda, Caitlin, Hannah; and three great-grandchildren: Margaux, Lucas and Mason. He is predeceased by three brothers – David, Lloyd (Bud) and Bruce. Joe and Susie were married September 17, 1948 in Madoc, Ontario. His early education was in Actinolite Public School and Tweed High School, interrupted in 1944 when he enlisted in the Canadian Army at Fort Frontenac, Kingston, and served with the West Nova Scotia Regiment. After the war he had a variety of work experiences as carpenter, lumberman, surveyor and owner of a successful restaurant, “The Log Cabin”. After a twelve year hiatus, he resumed his education at Queen’s University (B.A.), and Queen’s Theological College (B.D., M.Div.); then with post-graduate scholarships he studied at Union Theological Seminary, New York (S.T.M.), and University of Ottawa (Ph.D.). Joe entered the ministry in 1954 and was ordained by the United Church of Canada in 1962 serving congregations in Ontario, Saskatchewan, New York, British Columbia and Jamaica as well as 10 years as the Executive Secretary of the Bay of Quinte Conference. After his “retirement” in 1988, he continued to serve short and long term supply from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In Joe’s long life and ministry he has touched many lives through Sunday services, weddings, funerals and baptisms, and has entertained and inspired many with his sense of humour and endless stories. A Memorial Service and Celebration of Life was held at Westbank United Church on September 20, 2016 at 2:00 pm with Rev. Dr. Wayne Atkinson officiating. If friends so desire, donations in memory of Joe may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Cancer Society, Central Okanagan Hospice House, Kelowna or your favourite charity. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome. com, 250-860-7077. B14

There’s a kitchen party at the church An evening of Celtic tradition is on tap for Belleville’s Eastminster United Church. Tom and Conrad are quite likely to have every foot tapping in Eastminster Church to an infectious blend of traditional and original musicality influenced by Celtic, Maritime and North American folk tunes. Prepare for an evening of fun and memorable entertainment. Tom Leighton has performed on many CDs, and for musical theatre performances, festivals, showcases, and radio features. Tom (with longtime partner Mark Haines) is an East Coast Music Award nominee and Borlealis recording artist. He is a talented multi-instrumentalist, best known for his lively, spirit- filled playing on the accordion and piano. He also has many arranging credits. His recent CD, Leighton Life, is filled with mostly original tunes and he continues to perform as a solo artist, accompanist and in partnership with Conrad. Conrad Kipping was born in Edmunston New BRUNSWICK, and became interested in folk music at an early age. He is a multiinstrumentalist, having mastered the guitar, mandolin and many fiddle styles. He has toured and recorded with the legendary Stompin’ Tom Connors and also played for years with Melody Ranch, and Whiskey Jack.

It’s the fourth and final installment of “This is My Canada Presents,” the brainchild of “Ms. Canadiana,” the well-earned nickname for singer-songwriter Jeanette Arsenault. Confessing to a lifelong and unabashed patriotism, her composition “This is My Canada” became the basis for the four-concert series in Belleville. And, never one to think small, Arsenault is dreaming about taking the show on the road one day to celebrate local artists and Canadian music in communities all across the country. “I see this project as a collective of artists of all disciplines and Canadians of all walks of life, coast to coast to coast, describing what Canada means to them. It’s a shared vision of “my” Canada rather than just Jeanette Arsenault’s point of view,” she says. The series of shows, featuring some of Central Ontario’s best known musicians, began in January with Marie-Lynn Hammond, and also featured Andy Forgie in April, and the Starpainters Jazz & Swing Trio in June. Tickets are $15, and are available by contacting Jeanette Arsenault jeanette.arsenault@gmail.com 613.243.3330 www.JeanetteArsenault.ca or by calling Eastminster United Church in Belleville at 613.969.5212 or emailing Peter Kerr: admin@ eastminsterunited.ca

Autumn’s Tapestry

Dan Clost Now is the time to look for colour for your fall garden, especially if you don’t have it in your fall garden. The quintessential plant which tells us autumn has arrived is the sugar maple with their large orange leaves. Well, maybe it is the native red maple. Wait, perhaps it is the rich yellows of the poplars. The gold of the tamarack? The deep green backdrop of a black spruce? There is one tree that you won’t find on my list, Gentle Reader, and that is the Norway maple- no matter which one you choose. (I’m not dead set against Acer platanoides; in fact, I would likely include a few of them in a design if there weren’t already eleventy eleven of them in the neighbourhood.) The challenge for many of us is that our

yards aren’t quite large enough to support a big tree. I am not a big supporter of those folks who purchase a plant that they know will cause problems down the road for whoever takes on stewardship of the estate.

Poverty Roundtable meets to address troubling statistics provincially. Facing these distressing statistics, the PRT is working to create coordinated multisector action to reduce poverty. The PRT realizes that poverty is complex, and that all voices are needed at the table to achieve change. This means people who are or who have experienced poverty, as well as social sector employees, the business community and general community at large, are encouraged to come together for poverty reduction. The Poverty Roundtable has quarterly meetings open to everyone (as well as several working groups). The goal of the roundtable is to create a community where everyone experiences

Belleville - The next public meeting of the Poverty Roundtable will be held Wednesday, Sept. 28 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre. The Poverty Roundtable is a collaborative of more than 200 individuals, businesses and organizations committed to seeing what they can do, or do differently to respond to poverty in our communities. Poverty is a serious issue for many of our community members. Hastings and Prince Edward counties have some of the highest poverty rates in Ontario. Most concerning is that 25.8 per cent of children between ages one and four live in poverty; five communities reported poverty above 20 per cent; and recent 2014 data shows the food insecurity rate increasing to 11.4 per cent (the provincial average is 8.3 per cent). In education, a predictor of future poverty, local fouryear graduation rates were 64 per cent versus 76 per cent

a standard of living which is sufficient for their physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being without compromise of dignity or self-respect. The Sept. 28 meeting will provide members and the public updates on collective work on housing, on employment and income security, on the development of a food security working group as well as invite members to get to work on engaging more members of the communities across Hastings and Prince Edward in building for poverty reduction.

Arts council looking for help By Jack Evans

computer site company. The new website is designed to be more user friendly, more informative and with greater capacity to promote both the arts council and its member agencies and members. It still drew some challenges from some older members who said “ a simple explanation of how to do what one wants to do would help.”

Quinte Arts Council officials at the annual general meeting Tuesday reported that 2015 was a solid year in terms of successful projects. But clouds of financial insecurity continue to hang over the agency, which is preparing to mark its 50th year next year. Executive director Carol Feeney, in an emotional appeal, reviewed how thin the line of human resources is with only three staff members and eight board members. “We need help,” she said. “I don’t want to see our arts council go under like Northumberland and Peterborough already have, especially on the verge of our 50th anniversary.” The meeting, held at the Belleville Club, drew a modest crowd of traditional arts supporters. At least the board got off to a better start by electing four new directors: Lise Lindenberg, Joel George, Andrea Kerr and Brigitte Frances. All three four have extensive experience in various fields of the arts. Dan Atkinson, chairman, stressed that a suitable platform of funding would ease the agency’s situation greatly. Noting the many activities the council is involved in, he said: “We can’t spend all of our time fund raising.” One significant achievement in the past year was completion of a massive Carol Feeney, executive director, choked reconstruction of the council’s website up as she called for additional help from as presented by They Integrated, a local arts supporters.
