Ground broken for Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden By Erin Stewart
Trenton – Mr. Quinte “would be so pleased and so honoured and so are we,” said Hugh O’Neil’s wife Donna at the sod turning ceremony for the Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden. Community members, local politicians and O’Neil’s family members gathered at the location of the friendship garden honouring the late Hugh O’Neil, adjacent to the Roy Bonisteel tribute garden at the Trent Port Marina, to kick off the construction of the garden on Monday Sept. 26. “It’s very, very moving to think that people care enough to honour him in this fashion,” said Donna. “I want to thank them most heartily, for coming up with the idea and seeing it through until we’re finally getting a start now.” The final design for the friendship garden received final approval in early September from Quinte West’s city council and construction for the garden will now begin. The design of the garden includes a monument, four feet wide and two feet high, with a picture of O’Neil and the inscription “Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden. Come my friends and rest awhile,” as the main feature. There will also be five plaques

with life chapters representing the different parts of O’Neil’s life. “We hope it will be a peaceful place where people can come and sit and reflect and enjoy the beautiful surroundings,” said Donna. The sod turning ceremony was followed by a celebration of O’Neils life at Seasons Dufferin Centre in Trenton where the Wrought Iron Roots provided an evening of musical entertainment. John Williams, Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden Committee co-chair and former Quinte West mayor, made a presentation about O’Neil’s life and details about the friendship garden. “It’s an opportunity to tell the story about Hugh,” said Williams. “We’re looking for some donations still so a lot of people obviously would know him that live there so it’s a good opportunity for them to participate if they like, but it’s a little evening with some entertainment.” Williams said the committee is well on its way to raising the $60,000 needed to fund the garden, sitting at over $35,000 raised. The friendship garden is expected to be complete in spring 2017. Donations for the garden can be sent to Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden, Box 427, Trenton, ON, K8V 5R6.

Athena Freight Services Inc. opens in Quinte West By Erin Stewart
Trenton – A military mission in Afghanistan on Operation Athena was the unique beginning to Tammy Dixon and Crystal MacKinnon’s new business Athena Freight Services Inc. in Quinte West. The idea of owning their own freight brokerage came to the two logistic specialists in 2010 while they were deployed in Kandahar, Afghanistan for seven months. “We were friends before that but we really bonded as the idea came and we just felt we had to fulfill our dream,” said Dixon, at their official grand opening on Thursday Sept. 22 at their home-based business at 4 Marchen Ct. Trenton. Dixon and MacKinnon retired from the mili-
tary with 27 years served between them to make their dream a reality. “We are now looking forward to serving our customers with the same pride and dedication,” said MacKinnon. Their vision is to create a superior freight brokerage by building strong relationships with their clients, providing industry leading customer service, and helping clients surpass their shipping goals. “We’re huge on customer service and just providing the best rates that we can, we want to be fair,” said Dixon. “Our niche is going to be oversized pieces but we still do full truckloads, light truckloads, freezers, anything that ships basically.” They will increase the efficiency of customers
and carriers conducting shipping operations by using a combination of advanced freight software, to provide superior freight management, and through industry leading service to satisfy client needs. Dixon said they currently do not ship into the United States but do ship internationally overseas and across Canada. Seeing their vision finally come to life is rewarding, said MacKinnon. “It’s been a long time coming,” she said. “I absolutely wouldn’t do it with anyone but her (Dixon), there’s no question that we have a very special relationship…. Over the years we just
knew it was right for us and we’re super excited.” Amber Darling, business and investment advisor at Trenval Business Development Corporation, said Dixon and MacKinnon’s business plan exceeded her expectations. “Certainly a military background showed through with how they worded it, no stone was left unturned, when we asked for something it was always produced and their business plan was one of the nicest ones we’ve seen in a long time,” she said. “Trenval was so very happy to support these two ladies, especially exiting from the military and staying in our community.”

HPV vaccination now offered to Grade 7 boys and girls The School Immunization Program delivered by Hastings Prince Edward Public Health (HPEPH) is expanding for the 2016-17 school year by offering HPV (Human Papillomavirus) vaccination to all girls and boys in Grade 7. The vaccination, which was previously only offered to girls, is now available to boys as well, and continues to be offered to girls entering Grade 8 in the 2016-17 school year. HPEPH’s expanded delivery of this vaccine is supported by provincial expansion of publicly-funded immunization programs aiming to protect youth from preventable infections such as HPV. HPV vaccine (Gardasil) is safe and effective, and has demonstrated very high success in preventing the occurrence of HPV, the health unit says. HPV is a common virus that can lead to several types of cancer. The virus has been estimated to cause an average of 254 deaths and 1,000 cases of cancer in Ontario every year. These risks can be minimized through early immunization. Information and consent forms have been provided to students, and parents are asked to review and discuss this information with their sons and daughters to ensure awareness and understanding of both HPV and the vaccine. In order to receive HPV vaccination through the school vaccine program, students must provide signed consent forms to their school in ad-

vance of the school immunization date. As an alternative, students are also able to receive the vaccine at public health vaccination clinics or through their health care provider. Through partnerships with local school boards, the school immunization program is delivered within school facilities by registered public health nurses. Through this program, students in Grade 7 are also offered Hepatitis B and Meningococcal vaccine in addition to the HPV vaccine.

OPINION
Next Secretary-General: No Charisma Required It’s not an election, it’s a Selection. And although all the countries in the United Nations General Assembly have equal rights, some are more equal than others. Ban Ki-moon retires at the end of this year, and it’s time for the United Gwynne Dyer Nations to choose a new SecretaryGeneral. By the end of this year’s session of the General Assembly, in early October, we will know who it is. Which raises two questions: how do they make the choice, and why should anybody care? The secretary-general of the United Nations is, in some senses, the highest official on the planet, but the selection process is hardly democratic. In fact, it has traditionally been a process as shrouded in secrecy as a papal conclave. It is the Security Council’s fifteen members who pick the candidate, although all 192 members of the General Assembly then get to vote on their choice. And even on the Security Council, it’s only the views of the five permanent members (the P5) that really count, because each of the five great powers has a veto and the others don’t. This is why people with strong opinions and a record of taking decisive action don’t get the job. That sort of person would be bound to annoy one of the P5 great powers – Russia, Britain, China, France and the United States – or even all of them one after the other, so the entire system is designed to prevent a maverick with big ideas from slipping through. The secretary-general must never come from one of the great powers (that might give him access to enough resources to make a nuisance of himself), and the successful candidate should not be charismatic. The final choice is usually a “safe pair of hands”, some blameless diplomat from a middle or smaller power like the incumbent, a career diplomat from South Korea who ranks 32nd on the Forbes list of The World’s Most Powerful People. Candidates therefore tend to be relative unknowns. If you look through the current list of candidates, for example, the only two names you might recognise, even if you are a political junkie, are former New Zealand prime minister, Helen Clark, now Adminis-

trator of the United Nations Development Programme, and Antonio Guterres, former prime minister of Portugal and later UN High Commissioner for Refugees. But who is Irina Bokova, Natalia Gherman, or Igor Luksic? They are, in that order, a former acting foreign minister of Bulgaria, the current foreign minister of Moldova, and a former foreign minister of Montenegro. Well, all right, Bokova is also the current director-general of UNESCO, but you still didn’t know her name, did you? You might also ask why Eastern Europe is a whole separate region at all, given that its total population from Poland to Bulgaria is less than the population of Bangladesh, Brazil, Indonesia or Pakistan. Same reason: it used to be seen as a separate region because it was occupied by Soviet troops and most of its governments were ultimately controlled from Moscow. History looms very large at the UN. There is some progress. Half of this year’s candidates are female, and there is a strong feeling around the UN that it is high time for a woman to become secretary-general. There is also an attempt this time to make the process more “transparent”, but it is otherwise unchanged. The Security Council still comes up with a single candidate who doesn’t offend any of the great powers, and the General Assembly then rubber-stamps its choice. It’s basically a civil service job, suitable for persons of cautious disposition. How could it be otherwise? You only get what you pay for, and no great power is yet ready to pay the price in terms of its own sovereignty of having a powerful independent leader at the United Nations. What would be the point of choosing such a leader anyway, so long as the UN has no military forces or financial resources of its own? It would only lead to frustration: the secretary-general can’t act independently of the will of the great powers because they designed it that way. The job is still worth doing, and there is never a shortage of applicants. The secretarygeneral can speak out as the conscience of the world when there are massive violations of human rights, and once in a while she can actually organise a peace-keeping mission to stop the horrors (if all the great powers agree). And she becomes, by virtue of her position, the most striking symbol of that more cooperative, less violent world that most politicians, diplomats and ordinary citizens actually aspire to. But we are still a very long way from the promised land.
Editorial by Stephen Petrick Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher is probably too polite to say it publicly, but I bet there’s a part of him that wants to call up Gord Simmonds and say, “how do you like us now?” Simmonds was the owner of the Belleville Bulls until he sold the Ontario Hockey League franchise to a Hamilton sports owner suddenly on a spring day in 2015. Simmonds had repeatedly said the city-owned Yardmen Arena was getting too old and needed to be upgraded or replaced for the team to be viable in Belleville long term. The status of the Yardmen and to what extent the city should work with Simmonds to keep the Bulls in Belleville then became a hot issue, leading up to the municipal election of 2014. From the moment Christopher was elected, the Bulls days were numbered. Simmonds and Christopher didn’t see eye to eye and, I suspect, had a deep-rooted dislike for each other. That became ridiculously obvious to me, following roughly 10 minutes of interviews I conducted with both of them upon hearing news of the Bulls sale in March of 2015. Christopher, rightly so, was upset that the team was yanked from Belleville suddenly and the city was given no opportunity by the OHL to respond to Simmonds’ Hamilton offer. One would think league officials would have given Belleville that chance, since it had been an OHL city or more than 30 years at that point. But, Simmonds insisted it didn’t matter. The team was destined to lose money year after year if the Yardmen wasn’t upgraded, he said, and there was no other potential owner looking to buy the team. Plus, he said, the city was about to let the Bulls’ lease on the Yardmen expire before entering into any discussion with him about a long-term investment in the arena. On that point, Christopher had an interesting

answer: “You can’t make an investment unless you have a solid relationship with the tenant,” said the mayor for an article published in these pages on March 19, 2015. So Simmonds, wherever he is today, must be stunned at the news that was announced Monday. City council had voted to spend roughly $20 million to upgrade and expand the Yardmen Arnea, so the Ottawa Senators can bring their American Hockey League affeliate team to the city for the 2017-18 season. It’s the type of announcement Simmonds wanted, but never got. It means one of two things (or maybe both). One, the city learned the hard way that, yes, it had to expand and upgrade the Yardmen Arena to keep competitive hockey in Belleville. And two, the city felt more comfortable making an investment with a completely new parter – Senators owner Eugene Melnyk – than it ever did with Simmonds. During the Bulls’ last two years, the community’s interest in the team and the once rowdy atmosphere at the Yardmen fizzled. By the time the Bulls were sold, the team had one of the poorest attendance rates in the OHL, with only about 2,500 per game. Was that the fault of the owner, the coaches and players (the Bulls were one of the poorer teams in the East in their two final years), or the fan base itself ? Hard to say – there’s good arguments to make both for and against in each of these cases. But we know that, for the AHL to succeed in Belleville, attendance rates must be way higher than what the Bulls saw in their final years. Fortunately, for hockey fans here, there’s an owner willing to bet Belleville can be a great hockey city again. And there’s a municipality willing to work with that owner to try and make it happen.

Quinte West’s John Cairns receives national ‘Unsung Hero Honour’ By Erin Stewart
Trenton – Quinte West’s John Cairns has been recognized as a very special Canadian, whose outstanding contributions have impacted the community and inspired others. A philanthropist, motivational speaker and founder of the non-profit organization Wheelchair of Hope Foundation, Cairns’ volunteer efforts have earned him the 2016 Peter Soumalias Unsung Hero Honour through Canada’s Walk of Fame. “It’s hard to even articulate the honour,” said Cairns at Quinte West city council on Monday, Sept. 19. “To be celebrated in such a way, and I celebrate the award for all of those that have come into my life and been a part of my life who have made such a difference in people’s lives.” Cairns joins great company with the Unsung Hero Honour, following in the footsteps of Quinte West’s Evelyn Wilson who was the first recipient of the new award in 2015 for her tireless volunteer efforts in the community. The Wheelchair of Hope Foundation’s mission statement says it is

raising money for the Wheelchair of Hope Foundation. “It was a continuous battle of will, it wasn’t so much physical fitness, it was heart and it was mental fitness,” he said. “Through hard work and through heart and through effort and through believing in yourself, anything is possible,” a message he said the Wheelchair of Hope Foundation embodies. Cairns said he felt a great sense of accomplishment when he completed his climb, especially after being told by Tanzanian government officials that 50 per cent of all able-bodied people who attempt to summit Mount Kilimanjaro, about 50,000 people, fail to complete the climb. “It was celebrating the victories in the journey that ultimately gave the summit the most overwhelming kind of success, when I finally summited I just bawled.” Councillor Sally Freeman said it is an honour to have Cairns in the Quinte West community. “Your whole attitude is just remarkable,” she said. “For other people that are coming behind you, you give them a kind of hope.”

AppleFest 2016 draws in thousands By Sarah Hyatt
Brighton – The streets of Brighton sparkled with a rainbow of colours during this year’s AppleFest, bringing thousands together to celebrate the apple harvest. Chairwoman for the AppleFest committee, Christine Waterhouse, estimates around 15,000 people flooded streets and parks for the country festival and Brighton’s largest attraction

of the year. And with another extensive lineup, the four-day celebration brought apple-inspired fun to all ages. There was a little something for everyone festival-goers agreed. Over the years, the festival continues to grow. This year’s lineup easily featured more than two-dozen special events, with community clubs and organizations hosting all sorts of activities and with a number of visitors coming to town for the 42nd annual AppleFest. Waterhouse is calling this year another “huge success.” The Main Street was “packed” with more than 150 vendors Saturday who shared all kinds of unique treats – those with a sweet tooth weren’t let down. Crafts, art and other products on display for the street fair as part of the vendor lineup, showcased Brightonians’ talents in other areas. Both new and returning vendors were a part of the action on Main Street. Elsewhere in the community and in just about every nook and cranny, Brighton was bustling with events like the car and antique tractor show and the dog agility show which pulled in big crowds. Just under 300 cars were on display An ariel view of the 2016 Brighton Applefest. for the car show, said Waterhouse.

the time to hold the ground to collect the material so that he or she could get it back to us to exploit it,” said McNamara. While demonstrating some of the scenarios they might encounter in a real-life situation, the aim of these teams and the process is to get “left of boom” as opposed to “right of boom” (after the explosion) or “on boom.” “If you’re always showing up to the right of boom, you’re picking up pieces and if the enemy had a device go off, you’re not likely to get as much forensics off it as you would like,” McNamara indicated. In Afghanistan, Canadians were some of the best at “right of boom” having some of the best equipment, superb training and well-motivated people, McNamara stated. But that is a reactive response and can cost lives, injuries and equipment loss. Lt.-Col. John Keenan oversaw the exercise that will “Ideally, if you are ‘left of boom,’ and continue at CFB Trenton until Sept. 30. you stopped the device before it got into Photo by Ross Lees the ground, you arrested the builder beghanistan, they were still trying to drive to sites fore he assembled it, you stopped that money trail before the parts are bought, that’s in a huge area of operation (AO) sparsely popuall ‘left of boom’ and you never have to worry lated by coalition forces.

In 2008 when McNamara went back to Af- ligence cycle and made capture of the bomber or builder much more likely. “Getting inside the enemy’s planning and execution cycles to get ‘left of boom,’ that’s the real magic we can perform if we can do it,” noted Lieutenant-Commander (LCdr.) Keenan of the Defeat the Device Section, Joint Counter-explosive Threat Task Force and the man overseeing Ex ARDENT DEFENDER. Getting ‘left of boom’ starts with this kind of training using the best equipment available and using real life scenarios that test skills and equipment to their limits, according to both McNamara and Lt.-Col. Keenan. An amazingly well-equipped laboratory is set up for Ex ARDENT DEFENDER which features virtually all of the equipment you would see on episodes of CSI with the capability to do all of the things you would see done on those episodes, just not as quickly, the two men laugh. “We don’t have the ability to do it over a commercial break,” they chuckle. The lab they have set up is completely portable and, once it arrives at a site like Trenton, it can be set up in just 32 man hours by 10 people. For this iteration of the exercise, staff from Canada, Australia, Austria, Great Britain and the United States provided the technical intelligence focus to the senior staff. Continued on page 11.
Continued from page 10 Back in the lab, an outer area does a quick scan of the material coming into the lab to protect the lab and its personnel. “So if there is an explosion, it’s out here and it doesn’t affect the lab,” the two men explain. “In 2010, the Americans ‘temporarily’ lost the equivalent of this lab in Bagdad because they were piling all their explosives in the lab,” they added.
Once in the lab, explosive devices, components and other items of potential technical significance will be gone over minutely to exploit whatever evidence remains and to establish a chain of continuity and exploitation plan to help the teams get into the enemy planning and execution cycles. All precautions are taken to maintain the evidence and to be able to reproduce materials, especially the electrical design of an IED “From the perpetrator’s perspective, a lot of it depends on how forensically or biometrically aware they are because there are people out there who are aware of what KP ( McNamara) and the guys are doing, so they wear gloves when they build the devices, they build a cleanish room and they’re more skilled at that than others,” explained LCdr. Keenan. “Then there are others who are just amateurish. They’re sloppy.” Those are the people who allow the EOD/
IEDD teams to stay ‘left of boom’ and avoid picking up the pieces. “We also had IEDs in Afghanistan where, once they assembled it all, they would take their gloves of and throw the gloves inside because they expect the IED to function to destroy evidence, but their fingerprints are on the inside of those gloves,” explained McNamara. “We’re at the point where we can get those fingerprints, particularly if they wore them too tight. Thank you very much!” he says facetiously to the perpetrators. When asked if revealing their skills isn’t counter-productive, McNamara responded, “Nope, everything in here that we’ve seen is in fact open source, all the screens are black. It’s the product that comes out. If you watch CSI long enough, you’ll see the exact same equipment, so who
are we kidding?” There was a time when there was concern about that very issue of secrecy, but again McNamara explains. “We’re not telling you what we’re doing, we’re telling you how we do things but not what we’re going to do with that product. I would suggest if anyone is doing this now and isn’t cognizant of biometrics and forensic enabled intelligence, they will just make our jobs that much easier, again alluding to ‘left of boom’ technology. “It’s not counter-productive,” he added. “I would suggest it is essential because the troops need to know we’re here supporting them.”

Lighthouse society ‘confident’ it will reach goal of 200 members By John Campbell
Brighton – The Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society finished its fiscal year with a surplus of almost $31,000, with more than half of its $35,300 in income being generated by close to $21,600 in fundraising. A new venture, a fashion show organized by Red Stone Clothing, generated about $2,000 in net proceeds and the store presented a cheque last week for an additional $155 earned on apparel it has sold bearing the lighthouse society logo. Membership in the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation
Society has steadily grown, increasing from 55 in 2014 to 178 by Jan. 1 this year but with more than 60 people still to renew, “that’s a little bit concerning,” director Dave Sharpe said at the organization’s annual general meeting Sept. 19. However most of them have committed to staying on and “we’re pretty confident” the organization will reach its goal of 200 members, he said. A membership drive will take place Oct. 28-29 at Sobey’s. The society is currently selling tickets on a raffle that has as its top prize a $1,000 gift card from the grocery store. The third annual gala will take place Nov. 4 at the King
Edward Community Centre. Up for auction will be a plane ride for four as well as 12 tickets to an Ottawa Senators game along with $500 in cash. The Fade Kings are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year and the band has agreed to donate all the profits of a concert it will perform, provided a venue and an organizer can be found. Sharpe said the organization is having problems with the Canada Revenue Agency which has failed to post its charitable tax number on the agency’s website. As a result, it missed out on applying for Ontario 150 grant money because the provincial government needed

Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society chair Spencer Dennis is confident the group’s request to have the lighthouse recognized as a national heritage building will be successful but it will be a long process. Photo by John Campbell proof it has one. The society is working on getting the matter straightened out and it’s also putting together a request to have the lighthouse declared a national heritage building in order to secure federal funding. It’s a process that could take up to a year. “I don’t think we’re going to have that much of a problem,” society chair Spencer Dennis said. “I think we can prove to
the federal government that this is a national heritage structure.” The organization is also close to reaching a memorandum of understanding with the provincial government covering restoration of the lighthouse. “They wanted it worded in such a way that if we don’t do any fundraising that they’re not on the hook to cover all the costs,” Sharpe said. The society has received let-
ters of support from Brighton council which it can use to apply for funding elsewhere, “which we are going to need extensively,” Spencer said. He reported the cleanup of the lighthouse basement has been completed. “The four-foot-high basement walls are now actually eight feet high,” he said. “There was so much garbage in there... You can actually now see a concrete floor.”

Ad Astra Stones the foundation upon which the RCAF is built: Col. Colin Keiver By Ross Lees
CFB Trenton - With the 226 Ad Astra stones dedicated Saturday at the National Air Force Museum of Canada (NAFMC), there are now over 11,300-plus dedicated stones in the museum air park. John Hooper, the chair of the Royal Canadian Air Force Association, called the placing of all those stones “quite a project,” adding the stones commemorate loved ones, comrades and friends “…and is a fitting way to mark the commitment and dedication to the country they loved.” The Ad Astra Stone dedication ceremony takes place annually with each stone representing a member of the RCAF family, according to William Arch, the chair of the NAFMC board. “Each represents a unique and individual story that adds to the tapestry of what is the history and heritage of the Air Force and is part of our nation of Canada,” he said during the ceremony Sept. 24. Hooper added that the stones were a way to continue to show our gratitude to those many named on the stones which “…continue to acknowledge their contributions and to preserve the aviation history that is ours.” Preparing and placing the stones was no easy task, according to Hooper, and he said appreciation is owed to those undertaking the task. This year’s ceremony celebrated the 75th anniversary of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) and is a topic near and dear to the heart of 8 Wing/Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton Commander Colonel (Col.) Colin Keiver, who was the guest speaker at this year’s event. While Canada will celebrate its 150th birthday in 2017 and while the Canadian Corps was celebrating its victory on the ground in April 1917, the story was quite different for the Allied cause, According to Col. Keiver. The Germans were celebrating an overwhelming victory in the air in April 1917 to the point Allies referred to it as ‘Bloody April.” The loss rate was about 30-1 in favour of the Germans, Col. Keiver noted. “This is significant because the allies recognized they needed to do something or they were going to lose the war in the air during the First World War,” he said. “They commissioned a massive inquiry, published a report and out of that report was born the Royal Air Force on the first of April, 1918, the world’s first independent Air Force.” That Air Force was formed those in command at the time realized they needed a force that wasn’t Army,
itself as an institution and become something that people aspire to that makes a difference,” Col. Keiver said of the many names on the Ad Astra Stones. “I view these stones as the foundation on which we continue to grow and build the RCAF. This museum is the means by which we tell those stories of the brave men and women who have gone before us.” Surrounded by historic Canadian airplanes, Col. Keiver stated the
planes are “soulless without the people that sit in them and operate them, and the people that maintain them, the people that vector them, that clear the runways. It is that that is the heart and soul of the Air Force today and will ever be the heart and soul of the RCAF,” he said. “I thank you for gathering here today to celebrate the soul of the RCAF; it is a foundation we continue to build upon and one we look forward to as having a very bright future.”

Keiver. “What is significant about April 1917 was that there was a young German aviator that was rising to the top in 1917 Manfred Von Richthofen – you know him as the Red Baron. Later that year when he was wounded and he wrote a book, called the Red Battle Flier, he had a great quote in that book that said, “The quality of the box matters little; success depends entirely on the man sitting in it.” “It’s those people who make the difference, and since the First of April, 1918 as air forces have formed SOHO’s
and as the Royal Canadian Air Force was formed on April 1, 1924, it is the people who made the difference and it is a museum like this and an organization’s ability to have a story and a narrative that allows it to build and grow

Ash beetle boring in on Brighton, Presqu’ile, residents fear By Sarah Hyatt
Brighton – As the tiny green beetle known as the emerald ash borer (EAB) chews its way through Ontario, a few residents are worried – it’s only a matter of time before “devastation” reaches Brighton. The borer is an invasive insect native to Asia that was first discovered in Ontario and in North America in 2002. “The beetle has proven to be highly destructive in its new range,” Natural Resources Canada reports. Since its arrival, the beetle has killed tens-ofmillions of ash trees and continues to spread into new areas. Karen Caravaggio, who lives with her husband Angelo at 154 Harbour St., has seen first-hand what it can do. “I have seen the emerald ash borer devastate York Region’s ash trees,” said Karen. The Vaughan neighbourhood Karen lived in was relatively new. “Every single ash tree was killed, removed at great expense and replanted,” she said. A lot of Vaughan’s trees were ash and “everyone in the community was quite sad after,” said Karen. Karen and another Harbour Street resident, Lee Ostapuk, would like to something “proactive” done by the municipality, to save some of the ash
trees on the street and in the community. While Karen isn’t an expert, she admits, she’s fearful if no preventative measures are taken, Harbour Street, the parkette there and the overall landscape of Brighton “will be negatively impacted for a lifetime.” The borer was identified in Northumberland County back in 2013 near Roseneath, as reported by Northumberland News. The insect can kill healthy ash trees in as little as three years once infested. In Vaughan, “death occurred quickly – the trees were then weakened and brittle, posing a danger in storm situations,” said Karen. “The city was tasked with removal. The trunks shot up suckers that made the stumps into bushes.” This continued to attract the beetle. Down on Harbour Street, Ostapuk estimates some of the ash trees are around 40-feet tall. “These old trees have protected us from hot summers,” she said. “This summer, our grass was kept green without watering.” Ostapuk worries about losing her long-loved canopy. “We need clean air – we need these trees for the birds and other animals too,” she said. The spread of the beetle has often been depicted as almost inevitable as
well as costly and complicated. Canadian Forest Service (CFS) scientists estimate costs for treatment, removal and replacement of trees may reach $2 billion over a 30-year-period. Also expected to be significant, are the ecological impacts of ash tree mortality on aquatic organisms, birds and understory vegetation, which are currently under study. Brighton residents aren’t the only ones worried either. “The presence of the emerald ash borer in Ontario has been known for over a decade and it was also known here at the park, the EAB would eventually reach Presqu’ile,” said David Bree, senior natural heritage education leader for Presqu’ile Provincial Park. The ash tree species are a major component of Presqu’ile. “The death of these trees will substantially alter the look and feel of the park for years to come, until replacement trees grow up,” said Bree. In 2012, the park learned there was a major infestation near the 401 outside of Brighton. A full-scale protection program is not practical for Presqu’ile, which has tens-of-thousands of ash trees, said Bree. In 2015, with help from the Friends of Presqu’ile, the park initiated an inoculation program. The program

focused on protecting 10 trees along Jobes’ Wood trail and three different ash species, “to create a living museum of trees.” The inoculation process is repeated every two years at least. Traps laid out in 2015 by the CFS didn’t indicate the borer’s presence. Visual inspection in 2016 didn’t either. “But early stage infestation is very difficult to detect – so we are not 100 per cent sure, there are no EAB in the park now,” said Bree. “We do know they are certainly not here in large numbers yet.” In the best-case scenario, the park will be maintaining a population that will be able to re-seed once the beetle disappears or is eradicated, explained Bree. This would be achieved through the 10 trees, protected by chemical inoculation. “Once the beetle gets into the park and trees start dying, considerable costs will be incurred, as we will have to remove the dying trees in campgrounds and along trails for visitor safety,” said Bree. Within the town, there’s no program currently in place to protect trees. Whether or not Brighton goes ahead with a program in the future, that will be a decision of council, CAO Bill Watson said.
STORE HOURS: Monday thru Sunday 8:00am - 10:00pm
Costs for insecticides injected into trees over several years however, do cause concern. “You’re looking at somewhere around $200-$400, maybe more based on the size to treat a tree and at least twice,” said Watson. Currently, Brighton doesn’t have a good inventory of its trees either, Watson noted. This would be the first step in shifting towards a program, he explained. The municipality could get then identify “high value trees,” as was done in Cobourg. “But this would still be pretty costly,” said Watson. “Even if you’re looking at like 30 trees…it all adds up quick and with at least two years of treatments.” Brighton could also look at a replacement program for ash trees, said Watson. “It hasn’t quite got to us yet, so we have some time still,” said Watson. Karen argues the removal of trees however, with associated regular disposal, stump grinding and replanting could cost more. The CAO noted the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is also working on research and other methods, such as the introduction of some native predators like bees, to address the borer spread. -With files from Northumberland News

EQAO results show “steady progress” for public school board By Stephen Petrick
Belleville – Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board officials say they’re pleased with students’ scores on recent EQAO tests for reading, writing and mathematics, as in some areas students seem to be making gains. Every year, public school students in Grades 3 and 6 are tested in all three categories through the province’s Education Quality and Accountability Office. Grade 9 students also take tests for academic and applied mathematics. Grade 10 students also receive literacy tests in the categories of academic English, applied English and locally developed English. Results from tests written by students last May were just recently released. In primary (Grade 3) reading, 59 per cent of students scored at or above the provincial standard of Level 3. In primary writing, 61 per cent of students were at or above the provincial standards. In primary math, 50 per cent achieved the standard. In junior-level (Grade 6) reading and writing, results were even better. Seventy-two per cent of kids reached the standard in reading and 65 per cent met the standard in writing. In math, however, only 34 per cent of students achieved at least Level 3. “This year HPEDSB students made gains of 2 or 3 percentage points in reading and writing,” the school board said in a statement. “Looking at a 10-year continuum of results reinforces that gains are being made in reading and writing. “Student achievement in math continued to decline at both the HPEDSB and provincial levels. Through the new provincial Renewed Mathematics Strategy, the Ministry of Education will be of-

Rebels open season with three losses By John Campbell
Campbellford – The Campbellford Rebels are still looking for their first win of the season and, judging by the lopsided scores in two of their three losses thus far, the search won’t be an easy one. The team fell 9-1 to the reigning league champions, the Port Hope Panthers, in the season opener, blew a one-goal third period lead in a 6-4 loss to the Amherstview Jets at Warkworth Sept. 24, and then got crushed 11-1 by the Napanee Raiders the next day on the road. Campbellford was badly outshot in all three matches, allowing 67 by Port Hope, 58 by Amherstview and 53 by Napanee. Matthew Tarbutt scored Campbellford’s lone goal in the defeat at Port Hope, one of just 15
shots in total for the team. Tarbutt gave his club a 4-3 a lead with a minute left in the second period of last Saturday’s match, but the Rebels fell apart in the third, managing only two shots while giving up 18 to the visitors, who scored on three of them to win by two goals. Kurtis Giles, Jeremiah Doherty and Austin Vallier had the other Campbellford goals. Andrew White-Copegog thwarted Raider netminder Kyle Martell’s bid for a shutout on Sunday. The Rebels play in Picton on Thursday, Sept. 29, and hosts the Raiders this Saturday in Campbellford. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Picton is also winless in the Tod division of the Provincial Junior Hockey League’s Eastern Conference, but does have a tie.
G-Hawks land 6’5” D-man By Erin Stewart
Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks continue to make changes to their roster with the latest addition of defenseman Andrew Cordssen-David, acquired in a trade from Surrey, British Columbia. G-Hawks coach Jerome Dupont said the 19-year-old 6’5” defenseman came onto his radar at last year’s Dudley-Hewitt Cup where
Cordssen-David played for the host Kirkland Lake Gold Miners. “That’s where we noticed him, that’s where we developed a liking and we were fortunate enough to be able to pick him up,” said Dupont. “Cordssen-David will really help, he’s an impact defenseman.” Dupont said they are not finished making changes to the roster, “there will be some other moves for sure.”

Potter, Louis DiMatteo and Nick Boddy each registered one assist. The Panthers’ Thomas Hernandez, Daniel Tsiampas and Andrew Poulias each scored one goal and Lucas Rogers, Daniel Lowe, Joseph Franzin and Anthony Stavrou added one assist. Trenton’s goaltender Charles Grimard saved three shots out of the six sent his way in 23 minutes and Chris Janzen saved all 11 shots he faced in 36 minutes. Pickering’s Aidan Link saved 28 of the 35 shots he faced in 40 minutes and Koskinas Spyros saved 8 out of 15 shots in 19 minutes. Coach Jerome Dupont said it can be difficult to keep up the intensity when the team starts off the game ahead by seven points. “I thought we sustained it pretty well for the most part today and I thought our start was exceptional,” he said. “We have to be better at our transition game and I think we’re still spending too much time in our zone so we’ve got to work on those areas.”
The Hawks hit the road for the 2016 OJHL Governors’ Showcase at the Harborcenter in Buffalo, New York from September 26-28. Trenton will play North York and Milton. Newcomer Ture Linden said the Hawks will be prepared for a busy couple of days. “We have a lot of games in a short period of time so we’ve just got to keep the legs I guess and be ready to go.” He said it’s been a great transition becoming part of the GHawks’ team. “The leaders have been great, welcoming us into the team and making us part of the team, so it’s really been a great experience so far, I really like it here.” The G-Hawks beat the Aurora Tiger 4-2 during their away game on Sunday, Sept. 25. Trenton will host Whitby on Friday, Sept. 30, at 7:30 p.m. during their Purple in the Rink night in support of raising mobey to help stop child abuse.
The Trenton Golden Hawks’ Ben Scheel, #19, focused on game action.

Bikes roll to raise $200K for Wounded Warriors
Trenton - This past weekend, nearly 200 cyclists, many of them military veterans and active service members, embarked on a two-day bike ride from Trenton, Ontario right into the heart of Toronto at Queen’s Park during the inaugural Wounded Warriors Canada Highway of Heroes Bike Ride. Participants were required to raise a minimum of $1,000 in funds to support ill and injured Canadian Armed Forces members,
Veterans, First Responders and their families, living with operational stress injuries like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. To date the ride has raised a total of $200,000. This year, in true maverick form, Wounded Warriors Canada was cheered on by long-time partners, distiller Glenfiddich as they rode along a 170-kilometre stretch of Ontario’s Highway of Heroes, Macdonald-Cartier Freeway
(better known as Highway 401). The route has been designated the “Highway of Heroes” to reflect its use for funeral convoys carrying fallen Canadian Armed Forces service men and women. “Since 2013, our partners at Glenfiddich have supported us in raising a tremendous amount of money through the sale of their 15-Year-Old Solera Reserve (scotch whisky),” said Scott Maxwell, Executive Director,
Wounded Warriors Canada. “Our mission is to support our ill and injured Canadian Armed Forces members, Veterans, First Responders and their families by funding innovative mental health programs across the country. We simply couldn’t do this without the support of our partners and the generous Canadians that donate their time and hard earned dollars to our cause.” Participants began their ride
from the Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial in Trenton at 9:30 a.m. Along the way, they witnessed the unveiling of two LAV III Monuments, visited the Wounded Warriors Park of Reflection in North Whitby, enjoyed a Glenfiddich victory toast at the team dinner, and experienced three commemorative services.

Childcare centres receive new playground equipment through Healthy Kids Challenge By Stephen Petrick
Outdoor playtime at several local childcare centres is going to be super fun now – and healthy too. Eighteen different childcare centres recently had new outdoor natural play equipment installed in their yards. This equipment was purchased by the Healthy Kids Community Challenge Hastings Prince Edward as a part of its first theme, Run. Jump. Play. Everyday, which focused on the importance of physical activity for kids through a mix of structured and unstructured activities. The provincial government recently granted Hastings County up to $375,000, to be spent from 2016 to 2018, for participating in the challenge.
The money is being spent on projects that will help kids live healthier lifestyles, such as the installing of new playground equipment. Earlier this year, the funds helped train elementary school teachers on how to provide more engaging activities to young children in phys ed. But the money for the playground equipment is the latest project. “When children are outside, they move more, sit less, and play longer,” said Emma Pillsworth, project manager for the Healthy Kids Community Challenge. “This equipment will encourage children to move in new and creative ways, and make it easier for local Early Childhood Educators Allie, a toddler at the Belleville YMCA daycare, carries what looks to be a large stick, but to engage children in outdoor, active play from a is actually new playground equipment. The equipment, provided to the Y by a company called Nature’s Instruments, is intended to get kids excited about nature. The equipment young age.” Continued on page 3

Roads, bridges and other infrastructure in the Prince Edward-Hastings riding will soon likely get upgrades, as the provincial government appears ready to commit $13.5 million to the region through its Community Infrastructure Fund. The news was announced by Prince EdwardHastings MPP Todd Smith on Friday, Sept. 23. His office provided breakdowns of how the money will be split by Belleville, Prince Edward County and Hastings County’s 14 rural municipalities, over a four-year period from 2016 to 2019. The City of Belleville is expected to receive the biggest sum, with about $7.6 million committed

to the city over the next four years, starting with a $744,355 in 2016. The city is expected to receive $1,496,593 in 2017, $2,116,067 in 18 and 3,215,691 in 2019. Centre Hastings is expected to receive a total of $460,394 over four years, while Stirling-Rawdon is expected to receive $196,842 in the same time span. Tweed is expected to receive $298,486 over the same four years and Marmora and Lake is expected to receive $241,599. The remaining Hastings County municipalities are each expecting similar sized six-figure investments. Hastings County itself is expected to receive $175,000 over the four years for projects it can spread out between its 14 municipalities. Meanwhile, Prince Edward County is earmarked to receive over $2.7 million over the four years. The news is exciting for Smith.

Low-cost rabies vaccination clinics offered on Oct. 1
The annual low-cost rabies vaccination clinics for cats and dogs will be taking place on Saturday, Oct. 1 at various locations throughout Hastings and Prince Edward counties, the health unit has announced. At the clinics, rabies vaccine will be offered at the reduced cost of $25 per cat or dog. The clinics are offered annually through an ongoing partnership between local veterinarians and Hastings Prince Edward Public Health. In the 17 years since the clinics started in 1999, these clinics have administered more than 75,000 rabies vaccinations to cats and dogs in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. Rabies vaccination is the best way to reduce the occurrence of rabies in pets, as well as prevent the transmission of rabies to humans. “The goal of these clinics is to make it easier for animal owners to prevent
rabies in their pets,” says Dave Dodgson, Program Manager for Hastings Prince Edward Public Health. “By keeping pets protected, we also protect people from getting infected with the rabies virus.” The recent outbreak of rabies in Hamilton, Ontario, shows the importance of remaining vigilant with rabies vaccinations for pets. Rabies is still prevalent in many parts of the world which is why the World Health Organization has declared September 28 as World Rabies Day to help raise awareness about the importance of vaccination in preventing the spread of this disease. To protect your pets and your community from the risk of rabies, find a low-cost vaccination clinic near you. Information about the vaccination clinics is available in the Clinics and Classes section of the HPEPH website. For additional information, contact HPEPH at 613-966-5500.

The Good Earth:
Now’s the time to get busy in the garden
Dan Clost Now is, indeed, the time Gentle Reader. It is time to get busy in your piece of this good earth. Experience gardeners will know that “getting busy” doesn’t always mean physical exertion. The first part of getting busy
is determining what needs your busy-ness. So take a pad and paper and have a seat on your thinking bench. If you don’t have a thinking bench then that is the first item to jot down. A thinking bench (could be an Adirondack chair, a rustic birch log settee or even a chaise lounge) is an integral part of any properly designed landscape. Simply defined it is a place where you can sit and enjoy your estate; a place where you can watch the seasons play out; a place where you go to relax, perhaps listen to a favourite piece of music. (It is not a coincidence that I am listening to Neil Diamond’s Kyrie Gloria from his Jonathan Livingstone Seagull sound track as I write this.) Now that you’re in the proper frame of mind, start making notes. I suggest that write down how you felt at the height of this summer’s double whammy of heat and drouth. I know I was trying to convince myself that all
would be well but deep down I thought almost everything was gone. (And thanks to Sharon for sharing that she felt that way, too.) Once your Gloomy Gus persona has had the opportunity to smudge your entries with negativity, turn the page. The next notes might focus on all that is good on your estate. At Clost Commons the zinnias and dragon wing begonias are in spectacular bloom; the Siskiyou guara (think butterflies) are dancing on the end of their long stems; the butternut squash are finally getting some size; the pole beans have taken over not only the cucumber tower but also the tomato strings, the backyard fence and the broom corn; and, the glads have finally decided it is time for them to bloom. Most of the lawn has returned to mostly green grass, and only two plants (Blue Muffin viburnum standard, Bloodgood Japanese Maple) actually succumbed although we have a few young
trees that will need some tlc to make it through the winter. You should be feeling relieved with a true gardener’s optimism fully restored. Your observations will now be positively critical, accompanied with actions/solutions. At this point, physical activity attends the notes. For example, “overseed and top dress bare spots on the lawn.” Here is a list of my fall activities: 1. Overseed and top dress bare spots on the lawn. 2. Empty out the composters using the finished compost for top dressing. 3. Plant Bulbs. If I happen to dig up bulbs I planted before, then I will move those old bulbs to a backyard holding area. 4. Collect fallen leaves and hold them for covering tender perennials after the first hard frost with the remainder being used to make leaf mould.
5. Plant a pear tree where the ancient (25 years old) dwarf Paula Red apple tree is hanging on for one final fall. 6. Find places for about 30 pots of perennials- mostly astilbe with a few ferns (Maidenhair, Red Lady and Barnes) and Sibirica iris. I could heel them into the unused part of the veggie garden but then I’d have to move them again in the spring. I’ll likely spend a few extra minutes on the thinking bench figuring out how to minimize that extra work. 7. Continue to dig up old shrubs and perennials from under the black walnut treeyes, the same tree that pulled apart our fence. Over the winter, we’ll come up with a garden plan for the new space. 8. Take time to be grateful we have a garden and the opportunity to enjoy it.

A dozen of the U.S.A.’s best national parks
By John M. Smith
This past summer, I wrote an article in which I briefly talked about a dozen of Canada’s best National Parks, for next year, as part of our 150th birthday celebrations, entrance to our national parks will be free. However, the U.S. is celebrating the centennial celebrations of the National Park Service this very year, so I thought that it would only be fitting to list a dozen of their very best, too: Acadia: If you want to catch that first sunrise in the country’s most easterly national park, then I’d suggest a visit to Maine’s Cadillac Mountain, the highest point along the nation’s eastern coast, located on Mount Desert Island. While in this beautiful park, enjoy travelling on its historic carriage roads. Arches: Utah’s Arches National Park, located just outside of Moab, has the world’s largest concentration of natural sandstone arches. More than 2,000 arches, along with many other fascinating geological formations, are to be found in here, and it’s, therefore, a photographer’s delight. Be sure to check out Delicate Arch, Double Arch, Landscape Arch, Balanced Rock, Fiery Furnace, and the Devil’s Garden. Bryce Canyon: This Utah park would be my choice for the most beautiful U.S. national park, for its awesome horseshoe-shaped amphitheatre, majestic red rock spires, pillars, domes, and its plethora of eye-popping hoodoos make this park like no other. Many of its best lookout points are located near the
park entrance, as is the incredible Navajo Loop Trail, which will take you from the rim of the canyon to the floor and back. It’s a stunning adventure trek! Denali: There’s only one main road into the interior of this Alaskan park, and it’s narrow, with many twists and treacherous curves. Therefore, individuals are not allowed to drive their own vehicles past mile 15 on the Denali Park Road, at the Savage River Check Station, and bus drivers must pass a stringent driving test that includes being able to drive backwards around those dangerous curves. This is simply because the buses often meet along the narrow road, so one must back up and give way to the other, and this is particularly challenging when the two large vehicles meet on a hairpin turn high above the valley floor! The high point of the 8-hour bus tour, both literally and figuratively, is over Polychrome Pass, and from up here there’s a fantastic view of the Plains of Murie that stretch all the way to the Alaska Range. Glacier: The best way to get an overview of this spectacular park, located in Montana, is to simply drive across its cliff-hugging Going-to-theSun Road (but it’s only open between late June and early September because of the heavy snowfall). Another great way to explore the park is on its trail system, for the park offers more than 1,000 km. of hiking trails. I’d visit soon, though, for global warming is playing havoc with its glaciers. Grand Canyon: This one is probably on most tourists’ ‘bucket lists’. It’s mammoth, and it’s Arizona’s
most distinguishable landmark. This awesome gorge is usually considered to be one of the “Seven Natural Wonders of the World”. It stretches for well over 200 miles from end to end, and it’s over 200 miles by road from the South Rim to the North Rim. Great Smokey Mountains National Park: This is the most visited national park of them all. It’s divided between North Carolina and Tennessee, covers an area of more than half a million acres, and is located within a day’s drive of about a third of the nation’s entire population. It was the Cherokee who described these ancient mountains as “shaconage”, meaning “blue, like smoke” (hence the name of the park). Haleakala: One of my fondest memories is watching a sunrise on Maui’s Haleakala. “Haleakala” means “House of the Sun”, and I find it difficult to find the right words to convey to you the special feeling that I had on that summit (at over 10,000 feet) in the stark blackness of the night – and then to witness those first rays of light in the sky as the sun was about to emerge – and then to see the sudden bursting forth of that bright yellow ball of light! Then, to top it off, I descended this volcano by bicycle. It was awesome! Rocky Mountain National Park: I find this Colorado park’s Alpine Visitor Centre particularly appealing, for it’s the highest one in the country’s entire National Park Service, and it offers extraordinary alpine tundra views. On one occasion, I ascended a trail here and saw a herd of elk in the valley below!
Yellowstone National Park: Most of this exquisite park, the U.S.’s first national park, is in the northwest corner of Wyoming, but it also spills over into a bit of Idaho and Montana. If I had to choose one U.S. national park as my favourite, it would be this one, for it has such spectacular and varied terrain and abundance of wildlife. I’ve never been in this park without seeing wildlife – and check out its thermal pools, canyons, and geysers, too. Yosemite: California’s Yosemite Valley, the most popular part of this park, includes such spectacular
granite monoliths as Half Dome and El Capitan (both very popular with rock climbers), such magnificent waterfalls as the Bridalveil Falls, Vernal Falls, and Yosemite Falls, and such incredible outlook points as those found at Valley View and Tunnel View. Zion: My favourite stop along the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive by shuttle bus was at the Temple of Sinawava, for here I found the River Walk, and this led to the Narrows. This is an opportunity to walk in Utah’s Virgin River, into a very narrow canyon, surrounded by towering cliffs, and it’s a real adrenaline rush.

Protein’s important for Salvation Army Mark De Jong stacks packages of pork inside the Salvation Army kitchen while Doug Farrell looks on Friday, Sept. 16. Both were representatives of the Northumberland Quinte Pork Producers, who stopped by the Salvation Army’s downtown Belleville location to deliver a large donation of pork. The packages spread across the table, represent the donation of one rougly 235-pound hog. It marked the first time the Pork Producers had donated to the Salvation Army Belleville and it was a much needed supply, said Community and Family Services Director Abby Mills. The number of people accessing Salvation Army Belleville food programs this year is up 13 per cent from last year, which means more than 2,000 extra meals to serve this year. Mills said the Salvation Army appreciates meat donations, because the organization wants to provide clients, with healthy, balanced meals.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
October is an all-important month for cancer awareness, especially for women Dear Editor, At the Canadian Cancer Society, October is about more than just raising awareness for breast cancer, it’s about taking action to save lives. Women over 50 account for more than 80% of breast cancer cases in Ontario yet only 61% have regular mammograms. We need to change this. Regular mammograms are the most reliable way to find breast cancer early – when it’s most treatable. I’m doing my part by volunteering with the Canadian Cancer Society as a Women to Women Ambassador to promote

screening in my community. I lead by example and get a mammogram every two years. I also fundraise to help the Society support 76 clinical trials and world-class breast cancer research. Early detection and increased screening rates combined with better treatment therapies have resulted in a 44% decrease in breast cancer death rates since the 1980s. This month folks in Hastings, Prince Edward and Brighton can take action against breast cancer by buying a pink ribbon, volunteering to sell pink ribbons or joining the Women to Women movement.
Monitor to aid in endoscopy procedures monitor that will improve the observation of sedated patients The endoscopy department at undergoing a colonoscopy or Prince Edward County Memorial gastroscopy procedure. Pictured Hospital is now home to a new here is a GE B850 Monitor that By Briar Boyce
was required for our hospital under new health care standards for patients undergoing sedation. This replacement will result in greater patient safety as the
screen has a wide viewing angle so the medical staff can easily read critical data right at the bedside. It is a high tech monitor with functions to help staff assess the tolerability of anesthesia in the operating room. The B850 Monitor will help our staff get accurate medical information, when and where they need it. Prince Edward County Memorial is the low risk endoscopic centre for this region, performing 3,139 scopes in 2015. The ongoing replacement of scopes and equipment for this department is needed to keep the service efficient and of high calibre in the County. Medical equipment is expensive and has a short lifespan. Unlike many medical costs, equipment is not funded by the government; it expected that the community finances the replacement of medical equipment. The PECM Hospital
Foundation was able to purchase this much needed monitor through the generosity of the Stark Family Fund. The grant, administered by a local selection committee including Tim and Linda Beatty and family, is overseen by the Community Foundation for Kingston and Area and helped offset the cost of this $30,437 monitor. This monitor is part of the Foundation’s LIFE SAVER II Campaign for replacement equipment. Phase II of the LIFE SAVER Campaign focuses on acquiring medical equipment for the Endoscopy and Pharmacy Departments at PECMH at a cost of $201,022. Again, the Foundation is asking for the community’s generous support to help us equip our local hospital and thanks all those who have already stepped forward with their commitment to quality health care for the patients at PECM Hospital.
We’ve been delivering SERVICE
for 40 years! Shown here with the new monitor in the endoscopy Department at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital from left are: Anaesthetist Dr. Jack McGugan, Shannon Reid, registered practical nurse, Surgeon Dr. Francesco Barnabi and Delores Chalmers, RN and team leader of the endoscopy department at PECMH.
When MacEwen Petroleum was founded in August 1976, we were confident that a company based on integrity, reliability and personal service would succeed. And we were right. Over the years, we’ve grown into one of Canada’s leading independent petroleum products companies. Thank you for making all this possible. We look forward to serving your needs for many more years to come.

NAFMCF gala will be ‘Out of This World’ By Ross Lees
When the National Air Force Museum of Canada Foundation (NAFMCF) named their semiformal annual gala “Out of this World, Astronaut Portrait Gala,” they weren’t just launching baking soda rockets. Their gala event on Oct. 21 will feature two very well-known Canadian personalities – renowned Canadian artist Cyril Leeper and Colonel Chris Hadfield, a former Canadian astronaut and the first Canadian Commander of the International Space Station. So when the NAFMCF says it is “out of this world stuff,” they kid you not. Cyril Leeper is well known for painting portraits of members of the Royal Family, senior military officers, government officials and business leaders. More recently, Leeper created a portrait of Col. Hadfield, which will be unveiled and presented to the museum by Leeper and Col. Hadfield at the gala. “We are very excited about this year’s gala,’ said development coordinator Brigitte Frances. “It’s going to be a special evening where those in attendance will have the good fortune to hear from an artist
whose talents are known across the country. Everyone will also be able to meet and listen to Col. Hadfield.” Tickets for this event are being sold for $150, and can be purchased at the NAFMC, the Chamber of Commerce in Belleville and Trenton as well as Smylies Your Independent Grocer. Doors will open at 6 p.m. for cocktails, followed by dinner, portrait unveiling, live auction and a dance. Money raised from the event will go towards supporting the NAFMCF and the Theatre campaign, an effort by the NAFMCF to build an educational theater within their space that will benefit Quinte West and the surrounding communities. “8 Wing remains committed to the National Air Force Museum of Canada Foundation and its efforts to support the museum,” explained 8 Wing Commander, Col. Colin Keiver. “The yearly gala is one of the great ways our Foundation is able to present something special to the community, while at the same time raising money needed to help further the important stories of the amazing men and women in the RCAF in new and exciting ways.” Col. Chris Hadield, a former Canadian astronaut and the first Canadian Commander of the International For those who have questions Space Station shown here in an appearance in Belleville in 2014, will be on hand at the NAFMCF gala on Oct. please contact nafmcftickets@ 21 to unveil and present his portrait painted by renowned Canadian artist Cyril Leeper. gmail.com or 613.965.7314.

Syrian benefit concert a treat of stuff, nonsense By Jack Evans

“Stuff and Nonsense” was a solid title for the benefit concert in aid of Syrian refugees by Command Performance recently at Holloway Street Church. The nonsense was aplenty and the “stuff ” was non-stop, with swing dancers, chests of treasures and dozens of old-fashioned props, not to mention old-fashioned songs. Some might say even “antique” songs. But, with some jazzy contemporary numbers and arrangers like Dr. Leslie Bell and a complete cantata based on the nonsense poems of Victorian era Brit, Edward Lear, it all came together.
The Picton-based community choir has a knack for finding programs that really works with almost any audience. This concert was no exception. The several dance numbers by Carla and Jerry McCoy added an extra attraction to songs like “Choo Choo Ch Boogie,” “Flat Foot Floogie” and “Blue Skies.” Emerson Pringle on drums, Greg Garrett on electric bass and Samantha Hirst on keyboard helped keep the chorus on track. Getting back to the cantata, it was written by American musician and composer Vergil Thomson, using contemporary styles with Lear’s inane poetry, such as “The Owl and the Pussycat,””The

Jumblies,” and “The Pelican Chorus.” Challenging music to sing, but a delight to the audience. Members of the choir were quick and unanimous to respond to the benefit concert challenge to help raise funds for some of the Syrian refugees already here to bring over some of their other family members. Command Performance, while based at Bloomfield, draws members from across the county and a good number from the Belleville community. It launched its new fall season as of Monday, Sept. 17 in Bloomfield Hall from 7:30 to 9:30. Interested singers may contact Moira Forrester at 9685049 or Greg Garrett, at 476- 4148.
He has devoted several books to life in Algonquin Park and especially artist, Tom Thomson. His most recent book, Canoe Country: The Making of Canada for Random House in 2015 has been hugely successful. The recipient of multiple awards for his writing, he won the prestigious Rutstrum Award, given every five years to the best book on wilderness writing in North America in 2001 for his memoirs on his father, A Life in the Bush. Also described as “the Wayne Gretzky of hockey writing” his sports writing has garnered him inclusion in several hockey and sports halls of fames. In addition he is a multiple winner of national magazine awards, national newspaper awards and twice has been awarded the ACTRA “Nellie” as Canada’s top television dramatist. In 2005 Roy MacGregor was named an Officer in the Order of Canada. He promises to be an most interesting speaker at the HCHS banquet, and how he connects the bumblebee and maple leaves will surprise you. The banquet is at the Travelodge on Saturday, October 22. It will begin with a social hour at 6 p.m. and dinner follows at 7:15 p.m. This year in response to several requests over the last few years, there will be a choice of main course entree: salmon or chicken, rather than the traditional prime rib. Tickets at $65 are available at Quinte Arts Council and by calling Mary-Lynne Morgan (613-961-7091) or Richard Hughes (613-961-7772).

Rummaging in the forest: A fall field day Have you ever rummaged through your closet and found those favourite, comfy old shoes? When you rummage through your woodlot, you find treasures too. Come to the Fall Forest Field Day in Tamworth (north of Napanee) and see the forest through the eyes of the experts. On Oct. 1, the Ontario Woodlot Association (Quinte and Limestone Chapters) is offering a Saturday morning of forest activity – including field tours and games - in a unique location: the Kennedy Field Station just north of Tamworth on the Salmon River. Everyone is welcome, from 9am to 1pm. What’s in a woodlot? A morning walking tour will examine pine plantations, mixed hardwoods, and the shoreline of the Salmon River with guides discussing tree and plant species, plantation management, and general forest health. The Kingston Field Naturalists will explain a “bio-blitz,” a comprehensive inventory of species, and Friends of the Salmon River will give advice about healthy shorelines. Whatever your question: tree health, invasive species, horse logging, or something else forest-related, come out and talk to the experts. A friendly competition will test your knowledge of species and forest
health; there are rumours of prizes of unbelievable value! A light lunch is provided and there are optional afternoon activities. The Kennedy Field Station is a very distinctive place north of Tamworth at 669 County Road 15. Recently
entrusted to Queen’s University, it is now used as a site for ground water studies. Join us and learn the history of the site and the current Queen’s program. Come and rummage in a splendid forest. Registration is required.
OWA members are free; the cost for non-members is $10 (including lunch). To register, contact Dave at sexsmithd@ gmail.com (613-373-9334), or Susan at susan@moorepartners.ca (613-3795958). Also visit www.ontariowoodlot. com.
This event is the first in an educational series called “The Full Value of Woodlots,” offered by the Ontario Woodlot Association in concert with Friends of the Salmon River and the Lennox & Addington Stewardship Council.

Important to know importance of grasslands An Alvar and Grassland Stewardship Workshop took place on Tuesday, September 20 at Roblin Wesleyan Church in Roblin, Ontario, hosted by the Napanee Plain Initiative group. The Workshop was very well attended. About 75 participants learned the relevance of the unique plants and specific wildlife that live in this habitat. Specialists from Wildlife Preservation Canada, Canadian Wildlife Service, Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement, and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry explained the programs that support alvar and grassland conservation.
Land management for grassland birds (such as the Shrike, Bobolink and Eastern Meadowlark) and provincial grassland initiatives for farmers and landowners were well examined. The field trip was a big hit as everyone explored three local alvar sites in Roblin, Newburgh and Odessa. At Newburgh, this was a good opportunity to view an actual stewardship project – shrike protection - by local landowners. For more information, contact Susan Moore from the Lennox & Addington Stewardship Council at 613-379-5958 or lastewardship@ gmail.com
