Stirling—The regular meeting of the Stirling Library Board, scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 20, was cancelled by board chairman Councillor Dean Graff more than five minutes after the meeting was scheduled to begin. More than a dozen people were in attendance, but the only board member who showed up was Pat Anderson, who left as soon as assistant librarian Theresa Brennan announced the news. While people waited and wondered where the rest of the board was, Brennan received a call from Graff at the library, and came in to announce that the meeting was cancelled. Stirling-Rawdon Councillor Dean Graff, “He said, because there chairs the Public Library Board. is no designated board, that Terry McNamee/Metroland there was no scheduled meetshowed up Tuesday night. ing,” Brennan said. “He did “I’m totally disappointed,” said say he would notify us for the next former board member and former scheduled meeting.” The news did not sit well with mem- chair Denyse Mouck. “I think they bers of the public who had come for showed a complete disregard for the the meeting, especially since Stirling- public.” She said that there was no Rawdon Council had appointed three need to cancel the meeting when there new members to the board the day was a full board in place as of the prebefore.

Tomasso’s provincially recognized for sourcing local products By Erin Stewart

Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi (L) presented Mark Kotsovos (R), partner of Tomasso’s Italian Grille, with the coveted “Feast On spoon” and Feast On designation certificate on Friday, Sept. 30.

Photo submitted

Trenton – Tomasso’s Italian Grille has been provincially recognized for demonstrating significant sourcing of Ontario grown, raised and made food and drink products. Tomasso’s is the first restaurant in Trenton to achieve the Feast On designation from the Culinary Tourism Alliance because of its commitment to source locally, develop Ontario’s culinary identity and educate the public on the products grown, processed and prepared in Ontario. Mark Kotsovos, partner of Tomasso’s Italian Grille, said he’s proud to be Feast On designated. “It’s a good initiative and good program that we’re honoured to be affiliated with,” he said. “We’re definitely in good company and it’s a good movement to support local.” Kotsovos said the Quinte area has a lot to offer with the many farms, wineries and breweries and that also branches out to all of Ontario.

“It’s very important for us to support local, it’s a better quality and you keep the economy going around you,” he said. “Our steaks are Ontario beef and in the summer time we actually have our own garden, so we grow our green peppers, cucumbers, stuff like that, and in the summer time now we grow all of our herbs that go into our dishes on our patio so we’ve even shrunk the distance of local rate to the source.” Kotsovos said they also purchase meat from the Farmers Market butcher shop in Trenton. Foodservice establishments, like Tomasso’s Italian Grille, who have received the designation are also rewarded for participating in community events, food education, and awareness campaigns; as well are partnering with regional local food groups. MPP Lou Rinaldi, ambassador for the program in Northumberland and Quinte West, was on hand to officially present Kotsovos

“Fireplace “Fi l Sh Showroom” ”

S

pecializing

with the coveted “Feast On spoon” – a symbol of the designation – on Friday Sept. 30. “When establishments like this utilize local food it’s fantastic, in this case here I will say that if you ever frequent Tomasso’s you know what kind of business they have and how busy they are and I think that just reflects on their cuisine that they have and I don’t think they’ve been recognized for what they do everyday,” he said. Rinaldi hopes that this will entice other businesses throughout the Quinte region to support locally and also educate the public that Tomasso’s is a great place to eat. “They have been a premier restaurant since they opened their doors,” he said. “This Feast On designation cements that reputation, when restaurants such as Tomasso’s make the commitment to source food locally, we all benefit.” For more information on the Feast On program visit FeastOn,ontarioculinary.com.

OPINION

Headed for an antibiotic apocalypse I have never advocated that people who routinely feed low doses of antibiotics to livestock should be executed without trial. That would be too harsh, too irrevocable. There Gwynne Dyer should be fair trials, and fines for a first offence, and prison for a second. Only habitual offenders should face the death penalty. But first, there has to be a law. At the moment, it isn’t even illegal in most countries. At the United Nations last week, every single member country signed a declaration that recognises the rise in antibiotic resistance as a threat to the entire enterprise of modern medicine. It’s a start, but that’s all it is – and time is running out. “The emergence of bacterial resistance is outpacing the world’s capacity for antibiotic discovery,” World Health Organisation director-general Margaret Chan warned the meeting. “With few replacement products in the pipeline, the world is heading toward a post-antibiotic era in which common infections will once again kill.” The declaration urges countries to cut back on the use of existing antibiotics in order to preserve their effectiveness, to make better use of vaccines instead, and to spend more money on developing new antibiotics. It doesn’t put any actual money on the table, however, and it doesn’t even make it illegal to pump “sub-therapeutic” doses of antibiotics into farm animals. (It can’t. Governments have to do that.) I was not really recommending the death penalty for feeding antibiotics to livestock. That was just for dramatic effect. But the reckless misuse of antibiotics is rapidly destroying their effectiveness. The same goes for communicable diseases. In the 19th century tuberculosis was the biggest killer of young and middle-aged adults in Europe and America. With the discovery of streptomycin in 1944, isoniazid in 1952, and rifamptin in the 1970s it ceased to be a major health problem. But now the drug resistance has grown so great that at least 190,000 people worldwide died of tuberculosis last year. The problem of bacterial resistance has been understood for a long time. If the antibiotic kills all the harmful bacteria it tar-

gets in the person or animal it is given to, then no resistance develops. But if it only kills off the weaker ones because it was a very low dosage, or because the course of drugs was not finished, then the surviving bacteria will be the most resistant ones. They will pass their resistance on to all their descendants, who will undergo similar episodes of winnowing out the less resistant ones many more times, and gradually the resistance grows. The only way to keep antibiotics effective, therefore, is to use them as rarely as possible, and to make sure that they kill off all the target bacteria when they are used. We are not doing this. Doctors overprescribe antibiotics, often giving them to people who do not have bacterial infections just to get them out of their offices (and sometimes getting a kickback from drug companies for each prescription they write). And nobody makes sure that patients complete the course of treatment even though they already feel better. Much worse is the widespread practice of giving regular low doses of antibiotics to cattle, pigs and chickens, partly as a means of controlling the spread of disease in their cramped and insanitary living conditions, but mostly because it makes them put weight on more quickly. Getting them to the slaughterhouse a week or two faster is money in the hand. This greedy and reckless practice is now banned in the European Union, but it is still commonplace in China and the United States. In fact, 80 percent of American antibiotic production goes to farm animals who are not ill, and as intensive farming methods spread to developing countries so does antibiotic use in agriculture. This has to stop. So does over-prescribing by doctors in developed countries, and the over-the-counter sale of antibiotics without prescriptions that is so normal in many developing countries. “We are now staring at overwhelming evidence of rampant antibiotic resistance, across all ages, all over the country,” said Dr Vinod Paul, head of pediatrics at the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi. We also need a whole new generation of antibiotics to replace those that are hopelessly compromised, which requires persuading large pharaceutical companies to change their research priorities. (They make more money by developing new drugs that address the chronic health problems of the affluent, so we’ll have to subsidise them.)

Give `em heck, Hec, and other things that bristle Editorial by Chris Malette

A smattering of things from a cluttered editor’s desk: Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan is, as of this writing, in Germany for what he hopes will be life-saving surgery for the pancreatic cancer that doctors here tell him will likely kill him. To hear the feisty Macmillan tell it, it’s the provincial health ministry that was likely to kill him, however, by refusing to approve a $300,000 expenditure to travel to Kentucky for a procedure known as ‘nano knife’ treatment. There were a lot of headlines, a lot of TV time on Toronto news stations and a national TV news bit done on his plight. At least one Toronto newspaper hack took ‘Mayor Hec’ on as his celebrity cause du jour, upon whose back to ride to increasingly sensational headlines and cringe-worthy purple prose. (Sample: “If Hec does not make it, I plan to lay a complaint to the OPP’s Homicide Squad because I have two letters from doctors saying he is healthy enough for this surgery…” ) There are, however, some who think Macmillan has got far more than his fair share of publicity. A caller to the editor’s desk said on the weekend “I don’t know why, when so many other cancer patients suffer in silence and don’t get headlines, that Mayor Macmillan should get such a disproportionate amount of news coverage…” The caller went on to say he has sat bedside vigils for family members who died without having a Go Fund Me page set up for them, etc., and felt the plight of so many others deserve some ink as well. Fair enough. We all know someone who has died or battled cancer, but Macmillan’s case, while arguably morbidly overblown by some, as the above-mentioned hack illustrates, is unique in that a) he’s a fairly high-profile elected official – at least in the smallpond state of the phrase – and it’s not unusual when well-known people battling cancer get headlines. (Recall, if you will, Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk getting a liver transplant only six days after a very public appeal went forth for donors.) We wish Hec Macmillan well, looking forward to seeing him hale and hardy on his recovery in Campbellford. But, we will welcome, too, the time when the overwrought circus of his plight leaves town. *** We were struck this past week by the almost farcical news that the province is looking into possibly tearing down what appears to be a perfectly good, safe, relatively new (as these structures go) bridge over the Bay of Quinte.

No, not the Skyway Bridge near Deseronto that, frankly, has always been scarily high and seeming ready to topple onto the gill netters, er, anglers below at any minute. We’re talking here of the Norris Whitney Bridge – commonly referred to in the Belleville area as the Bay Bridge – and it’s apparently in such a state the province is about to embark on a study to either heavily repair or replace the bridge. From the official website outlining the study: “The Ontario Ministry of Transportation has retained MMM Group to undertake the Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study (Class EA) for the rehabilitation and/or replacement of Norris Whitney Bridge... This study will examine alternatives for facilitating rehabilitation of the bridge as well as alternatives for increasing the traffic capacity of the bridge, including the future widening, twinning, or replacement of the structure.” This bridge was built in the `80s. Not the 1880s, 1983 to be exact. Now they’re thinking it’s out of date and might need replacing? It’s a sad statement on the disposable nature of buildings, vehicles, monuments and institurions when we have to tear things down every couple of decades because it wasn’t done right in the first place. Anyone who’s ever walked the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, strolled the Champs-Élysées in Paris or gazed in wonder at the pyramids of Egypt would either weep at the ineptitude of today’s engineers and builders or laugh hysterically at the waste we taxpayers swallow whenever anyone tells us this grand structure is ‘built to last.’ *** Finally, I see our old buddy Krampy has thrown his hat back in the ring for another round of campaigning and scrapping for a seat – this time at Queen’s Park. We’re sure Daryl, after two gorounds in Ottawa, thinks he has plenty more to give as a provincial MPP now that Tories can smell blood in the water and are lining up for a whack at Kathleen Wynne in the next election – two years from now. Good luck then to the popular Krampy (in Madoc, anyway), Bancroft councillor Tracy McGibbon and the sure-to-follow hordes who think a nice four-year gig at about $120,000 per annum would be just swell. It should be a fun nomination meeting whenever it comes about.

Tweed youth, local constables and dispatcher awarded OPP commendations for quick actions in lifesaving

Tweed – Last April, local youth Graham Fowler was instrumental in saving a life when his brother’s kayak overturned in the frigid, fast-flowing waters of the Moira River. Fowler was able to quickly contact the Central Hastings Detachment of the OPP and, with the help of two constables, save his younger brother, who was clinging to a tree branch in the river. At an OPP ceremony in Ottawa in late September, Fowler was awarded the Commissioners Commendation for Life-Saving, as was Central Hastings Constable Jesse Cassidy. Constable Brad Croghan and Dispatcher Emily Nicholas were each awarded a Commissioners Commendation for Exemplary Performance of Duty. Nicholas has worked as a civilian em-

ployee for the OPP out of the Smith Falls Detachment for five years. “I am a call taker for 911 and a dispatcher for the Eastern Region,” said the 27-year-old. “I moved to Tweed when I was in Grade 7 when my father, Peter Valiquette, got a promotion to detachment commander in Madoc. I went to St. Carthagh’s Elementary School and St. Theresa’s Secondary School in Madoc.” She worked at Valu Mart for nine years before returning to school to study social work at Loyalist College. “And now I work for the OPP,” she said with a note of pride. Guiding the responding officers to the accident site was somewhat difficult from such a distance away, but Nicholas was able to do so in time to prevent a tragedy. “I was able to speak to the brother and

question him about the number of bridges he had passed and get him to check out the area for landmarks such as barns and silos,” she said. “I do believe it is a wooded area there. This is the first call like this I have personally taken.” This was also the first award ceremony she has attended, said Nicholas. “Not a lot of communicators get recognized for their work, as we’re usually not really seen,” she said. “It was nice to be acknowledged for my part in the ordeal.” Shifting the focus back to the actual rescuers, Nicholas commented, “I really hope you are able to focus on the boys and the great work that they did together.” Neither Fowler nor Constables Cassidy or Croghan could be reached for comment.

Graham Fowler and responding OPP Constable Jesse Cassidy recently were awarded the Commissioners Commendation for Life-Saving at a ceremony in Ottawa, while Constable Brad Croghan and Dispatcher Emily Nicholas received commendations for Exemplary Performance of Duty in an incident on the Moira River in April, when Fowler’s brother’s kayak overturned.

Military police launch forces’ Sexual Offense Response Team By Ross Lees

CFB Trenton – The Canadian Armed forces has announced a new 18-member team dedicated to supporting the investigation of criminal sexual offences within the CAF and the Department of National Defence (DND). The announcement was made Tuesday at a press conference here by the Canadian Armed Forces Provost Marshall Brigadier-General Robert Delaney. The Sexual Offence Response Team (SORT), an Operation HONOUR (Op HONOUR) initiative, increases the ability of the Canadian Forces National Investigating Service (CFNIS) to “protect and support victims of sexually based offences by identifying, investigating and helping prosecute persons responsible for criminal sexual offences within the military.” In making the formal announcement, the forces outlined the specially-trained team that is already in place and conducting operations in six locations across Canada. SORT members would be receiving the most advanced training available to help make them “subject matter experts” in the field of sexual offences, according to Delaney. “We have already spent the last three days with subject matter experts from the International Association of Chiefs of Police as well as Mr. Russell Strand from the American Military Police Academy, a former special agent with the Army’s criminal investigative division and the ‘Godfather,’ if you will, of a technique known as forensic experiential trauma interviews, an emerging technique that recognizes that victims

of traumatic events such as sexual assault, often have difficulty recounting the exact details of the trauma they have experienced. Through some of the techniques our investigators have learned, there is a recognition that not all victims are able to give a precise account of what they experienced,” said Delaney. An awareness of this, he said, will allow SORT personnel to better support victims when complaints of sexual misconduct come forward to the CFNIS. Rear-Admiral Jennifer Bennett, Director General, Canadian Armed Forces Strategic Response Team on Sexual Misconduct, said elimination of harmful sexual behavior within the military will be “achieved through shortand long-term steps.” In the short term, support of victims must be more effective, she said, and decisive when incidents occur. In the long term, the military culture must be understood and changed to ensure all members are treated with the respect and dignity that is their due. “The short and long-term efforts are designed to complement each other for effective victim support and decisive leadership to help create an environment that encourages incident reporting. This, in turn, helps build a leadership culture that is more supportive and responsive to the needs of our members,” she said. “Over the first six months of 2016, we have seen a 22 per cent increase in incidents reported to the military police; about half of them being old cases predating Op HONOUR. This demonstrates to us that some of these victims now trust their leaders. They believe we will hear

them and act appropriately,” she added. Brig.-Gen. Delaney noted during the press conference that the Op HONOUR stemmed from the report by Chief Justice Madame Deschamps which gave insight into the perception of the military police as an investigative agency and a police agency. He said it also gave rise to concerns from the victims’ standpoint in terms of how the MPs had been conducting investigations and supporting them in the past. To get better at these types of investigations, Delaney said the force recognized resources would assist with timeliness of investigations and training would enhance the already excellent work the CFNIS was doing. “We focused on two areas; getting more resources in there and, secondly, getting them the advanced training they need to really be subject matter experts in this field,” he noted. “The creation of the SORT and the increase in personnel to tackle these crimes will enable us to better support victims of sexual misconduct and ensure timely, professional investigations.” Quick Facts • A majority of Canadian Forces National Investigation Service investigations revolve around sexual related matters. The Sexual Offence Response Team provides investigators with a nucleus of expertise regarding historical investigative techniques; new trends in law enforcement concerning sexually based offences; and best practices for future sexual related investigations. • Frontline military police remain a key part of the investigation process as they are often the first point of contact for complainants in report-

ing any offence. Military Police often interact with victims as they attempt to deal with their trauma. The first and primary task in those situations is to support and protect victims. • The 18 investigators of the Sexual Offence Response Team are dispersed in three-member teams at the six Canadian Forces National Investigation Service’s regional offices located in Victoria, Edmonton, Borden, Ottawa, Valcartier and Halifax. • In addition to standard training received by all investigators in the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service, members of the Sexual Offence Response Team also receive specialized training in investigating sexual assault, physical abuse and child death, investigating offences against children, investigative and forensic interviewing techniques, and trauma informed care training. • The Canadian Forces National Investigation Service is a unit within the independent Canadian Forces Military Police Group whose mandate is to investigate serious and sensitive matters in relation to Department of National Defence property, Department of National Defence employees and Canadian Armed Forces personnel serving in Canada and around the world. • Any member who has experienced or witnessed harmful and inappropriate sexual behavior of any kind in the Canadian Armed Forces has a range of options available to him or her.

Council gets first glimpse of new Trenton Fire Station 1 By Erin Stewart

Trenton – Quinte West Deputy Fire Chief Dan Smith and architect Michael McKnight from McKnight Charron Limited Architects updated Quinte West city council on the design for the new Fire Station 1 during the council meeting on Monday Oct. 3. The new design for the station is the same as the design used for Collingwood’s fire station, a design that has proven to be functionally already said McKnight. “This is a tried and true one, it’s been open for a couple year in Collingwood,” he said. “It’s a very efficient site, the fact that it’s accessible from two sides is terrific.” The new facility will be 20,000 square feet with an estimated cost of $6 million. It will be highly functional, said McKnight, and will feature a separate storage building, a main entrance on Dixon Drive and separate south entrance on Dominion Street. There will be a training facility, offices, lounge, kitchen, teaching room, adequate locker space, sleeping area, storage and fitness room. “It has been designed for the workers and that’s what we were after,” said Smith. “We don’t have a meeting room, it is kind of come on down to the kitchen, we’re going to have a meeting room where we can have private meetings.” Smith said they have designed the station looking 30 years down the line for future growth of the department with additional staff as well as additional apparatus and equipment. Some of the concerns for the current station

on Front Street include a high level of congestion of equipment, the aerial truck too large to fit on the driveway pad and no space to set up tables and chairs for classroom style training or to conduct meetings. The foundation of the building is slowly sinking, there are ongoing plumbing/drainage issues, accessibility issues, insufficient change rooms, washrooms and a lack of female shower facilities. Councillor Don Kuntze said he can’t wait for the new fire station to be built. “It’s going to be exciting, we have a lot of problems with our existing fire hall,” he said. “We will have so much more capabilities, this will encourage all of our existing firefighters to stay with us because our city is showing our support by recognizing we have a challenge and a problem.” Kuntze said he’s looking forward to getting shovels in the ground as soon as possible and expects construction will begin in spring 2017. David Clazie, director of corporate and financial services, said council will begin looking at the 2017 capital budget at the end of October and November and one of the projects on the agenda will be the fire hall, council will decide how they want to move forward with the project. “Council will decide how they want to fund that project, whether they want to take some reserve money or debt financing, those will be options council will discuss as part of that process,” he said. Council approved $500,000 in the 2016 capital budget for all costs in preparation to starting construction of the new station. event hosted by:

Quinte West city council approved the cityowned property on Dixon Drive, beside the Horizons School on Marmora Street, as the new location for Fire Station 1 on Dec. 7, 2015. The location was formerly a soccer field for the school and was purchased by the city for $300,000. All major populated subdivisions fall within

a four to six minute response time to the new location, the response time fire departments strive for. There’s a four-minute response time to the North Murray Industrial Park, within six minutes to Douglas Road and Riverside Road, all schools in the response area are within four minutes and the Trenton Memorial Hospital also has a four-minute response time.

Quinte West Gardens – Growing Community representatives Jay Lacey (L), Clare Marchand-Lacey (C) and Collette Richardson (R) presented the garden business plan during the council meeting on Monday Oct. 3.

Trenton – The city of Quinte West has agreed to lease a three-acre parcel of city owned land on the Northwest end of Guelph Street for the new location of Quinte West Gardens – Growing Community (QWGGC). The final approval of the lease agreement was conditional on Quinte West Gardens submitting a business plan, which garden representatives Clare Marchand-Lacey, Collette Richardson and Jay Lacey presented during the council meeting on Monday Oct. 3. Marchand-Lacey said QWGGC will offer the community many benefits and provide opportunities for recreational gardening, food production and bringing people together. “We’d like to grow the community, we see a need in our community and a possibility of relationship growing with individuals,� she said. “We have this wonderful group of people who are retired who have so much knowledge around growing food and gardening and we have a need amongst our youth to learn.� The garden would also offer people who are marginalized or struggling to live on their incomes to go and build relationships and support people who may be caught in a cycle of poverty, said Marchand-Lacey. The group has a number of objectives, including donating to the Trenton Care and Share Food Bank, Meals on Wheels and the Salvation Army as well as individuals who go to the garden who are in need. “We want to provide an opportunity for community development, we want to facilitate social interaction be-

tween diverse groups, encourage selfreliance producing nutritious food in a sustainable manner and we want to reduce family’s food budgets,� she said. QWGGC made sure council understood they are not looking for financial support from the municipality and will rely on community resources, fundraising, membership fees and provincial and federal grants. In January 2016, Quinte West city council decided to cancel the land agreement for the current site of the community greenhouse and gardens adjacent to the Quinte West OPP detachment in order to make room for a new detachment building. The cancelation of the land agreement for the gardens prompted the new group to come together and create the QWGGC vision. “We have a group of concerned citizens in Quinte West who are very excited at the prospect of transferring the community gardens from where they are near the police station to a new piece of property at the base of Mount Pelion,� said Marchand-Lacey The QWGGC is now registered as a charitable organization and the garden beds are starting to be transferred to the new location. Looking ahead, Marchand-Lacey said they would like to transfer the beds in the first year and plant and harvest. “We have dreams of making it a lovely spot at the base of Mount Pelion and we have an agreement with the food bank to continue to provide them with support.� Quinte West council unanimously agreed to authorize the lease agreement.

Not happy with Hydro One service? Give this woman a call By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – A recent public meeting held in Thurlow to discuss Hydro One service certainly did not lack emotion, but to Hydro One Ombudsman Fiona Crean, it represented another opportunity to spread the word about her service to frustrated customers. The Sept. 28 evening meeting, called by Prince Edward-Hastings Progressive Conservative MPP Todd Smith, attracted a strong crowd to the Gerry Masterson Community Centre and many spoke passionately about their displeasure with high hydro costs. In an exclusive interview with Metroland Media, Crean said she welcomed the opportunity to participate in the meeting and explain her role, as it’s intended to help people who are upset about Hydro One service. Crean stepped into her position last March, following a provision to the Electricity Act that required Hydro One to create an Ombudsman. She works independently from Hydro One management and reports to the company’s board of directors. Her role is to investigate complaints about Hydro One service and find a resolution. “I make recommendations to change that fault or put the (customer) in the place he or she was before (the specific complaint or incident) happened,” she said. “That can be anything from an apology, to financial compensation to a change in policy.” Fiona Crean is the Ombudsman for Hydro One. Submitted photo What Crean cannot do is adjust

the rate a Hydro One customer pays. That, she said, is decided by the Ontario Energy Board. However, she can investigate whether a displeased Hydro One customer is paying too high of a rate because of an error, say, related to a malfunctioning smart meter. The ombudsman can also investigate complaints related to rudeness or poor service from front line staff. She can also look into issues related to forestry. For instance, sometimes trees are cut down to make way for Hydro wires, to the displeasure of property owners. Crean has moved into the role at an interesting time. Hydro One is a is the largest electricity transmission and distribution system in the province and, in Eastern Ontario, it serves mostly rural-based customers, as Veridian Energy serves urban Belleville. Rising electricity rates, however, have become a hot-button issue to rural Ontarians. The current Liberal government is in the process of selling off Hydro One assets, as it plans to continue to invest in renewable energy projects, believed by many to be more environmentally friendly and cheaper than traditional power sources. The Opposition Conservatives, however, argue the Liberal government is too focused on green energy, and suggests that lucrative contracts being handed to renewable energy companies are driving up the price of power to those on the main grid. Protests over high Hydro One rates have taken place across the province and recently Premier Kathleen Wynne announced Hydro One customers would no longer have to pay the HST portion of their bill; a sign that the Ontario government is finally hearing some

of rural Ontarians’ concerns on energy. Crean, however, declined to get into the political debate, saying her role is not to be partisan. “I have all sorts of opinions,” she said. “But they’re not for public consumption.” However, Crean acknowledged that many people in Ontario are not happy with Hydro One and that she’s heard plenty of “awful” stories. Her office has looked into 1,400 complaints since starting in March and they seem to be coming from all over the province, she said. However, “100 per cent of the recommendations I’ve made have been implemented,” she said. “What’s the power? The power is one of moral persuasion. It’s incumbent upon me to get it right, so it makes sense for the corporation and the citizen.” She added that she feels Hydro One’s board is “in full support” of her acting independently to investigate complaints. Crean is participating in another public meeting about Hydro One at the Bancroft Legion at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 6. She said she’s keen to attend such meetings because “I have a responsibility to ensure people know the existence of this office.” She also explained that an Ombudsman’s office is supposed to be “an office of last resort.” Customers who have questions or concerns about service should contact Hydro One first, but if they don’t feel it’s being addressed then contact the Ombudsman. Her number is 1-844-608-8756 and she can also be reached at ombudsman@hydroone.com . More details are also available at http://www.hydrooneombudsman.com

Bay of Quinte is the star in upcoming TV ad campaign Keep an eye open during GlobalTV programs this fall: Bay of Quinte Regional Marketing Board’s new 30-second television spots have gone to air. The ads are a follow-up to the launch of winter 2015’s campaign, which reached millions, with the message “Isn’t it Time?” you visited the Bay of Quinte. Three seasonal spots offer viewers a taste of what it’s like to live, work and play here, by highlighting the rural landscapes, water elements and farm-to-table culinary offerings of the Bay of Quinte region. Local personalities appear throughout the spots and Toronto Director Michael T. Morrow, who grew up in the Bay of Quinte, used his intimate knowledge of the region to showcase its beauty. “The three new spots draw on the our strongest assets when it comes to visitation, but these are also major drivers for living here, solidifying the partnership between Bay of Quinte Tourism and

Stirling’s last commercial apple orchard is still going strong By Terry McNamee

Stirling —With changes in weather, the pressure of development and the cost of farming and labour, most of Stirling’s big apple orchards are either gone completely or down to a fraction of the size they used to be. But Russett Farms is still providing a large variety of the sweet fall fruit to people in the area. The orchard is run by Darrell and Sandra Russett, but the apples are really Sandra’s spe-

cial interest. She is proud of the size and quality of the fruit produced by “her” trees. “We’ve had the orchard 18 years, but we had the farm long before that,” Sandra said. The farm belonged to Darrell’s parents, but the orchard was originally owned by Frank Bailey of Stirling, she said. He grew McIntosh, Cortland and Northern Spy apples. “We’ve added Gala and Honeycrisp,” she said. “This year is the first year they’re really producing well for us. A lot of people like the Galas.”

GOING TO THE DENTIST SHOULD BE A JOY!

However, Northern Spys are now harder to find, so people who prefer those will ask for them, she said. The big orchard covers eight acres and has hundreds of apple trees. Most of the trees are semi-dwarf, which eliminates the need for ladders when picking. Anything that reduces labour is good. “It is a lot of work,” Sandra said. “We prune in the spring as soon as the snow goes.” Next, the trees must be sprayed regularly to eliminate disease and insect damage. Spraying is stopped far enough before harvest so that the fruit will be completely chemical-free by the time it is picked. As with most farming, weather is always a wild card. “The weather plays a huge factor,” Sandra said. “Last year, there was frost (in the spring), and we lost the whole crop. It was pretty devastating.” Freshness is very important at Russett Farms, so the apples are picked right before they are offered for sale. “We don’t have a cold storage,” she said. “That’s why we pick daily.” Russett Farms apples are sold on the farm and at the Campbellford Farmers’ Market ev-

ery Wednesday and Saturday. By the end of the season, the entire crop will be gone, except what Sandra has made into pies and other delights for her family. However, some of the apples also go to local schools, who then sell them to raise money for school projects. “It’s a good way to give back to the community,” she said. The rest of the farm includes beef cattle and about a thousand acres planted in wheat, soybeans, corn, hay, oats and barley. “We feed most of it to the cattle,” she said. Son Rodney lives on the farm and mostly is responsible for the cattle, while daughter Ashley lives just up the road and comes to help out when needed. Another daughter, Jennifer, lives in Ohio. Sandra said she loves everything about running the orchard — seeing the crop develop, selling the apples and meeting the customers. Then there is the sheer beauty of the orchard itself. “In the spring, when the blossoms are on, it’s magnificent,” she said. “It’s very beautiful.” Russett Farms is located at 238 Maple Rd. in Stirling.

Research Casting offers dino-sized thrills for Doors Open Quinte West By Stephen Petrick

Quinte West – A visit to one Doors Open Quinte West location was almost like a journey 65 million years back in time. Research Casting International, a well-known Trenton-based business that makes dinosaur sculptures, participated in the event on Saturday, Oct. 1. Although the business is located in a secluded dead end dirt road off Dufferin Street, hundreds of cars jammed the area during the day, and dozens of families – many pushing baby strollers – made the pilgrimage to the front door, knowing a rare opportunity to visit the business was as good as a trip to a museum. Once inside, visitors oooed and awed at the skeleton figures of several giant creatures on display. Skeletons of a tyrannosaurus rex, a stegosaurus and a brachiosaurus among others, drew attention inside the 55,000 square-foot warehouse. Research Casting owner Peter May said he takes great pride in opening his business to the public for the annual Doors Open events,

as he’s done so for all but one year since coming to Trenton about a decade ago. “It’s nice to open it up to the community,” he said, looking around at hundreds of excited visitors. “They hear about what we do, today they get to see a little bit of it.” Research Casting is hired by museums around the world This tyrannosaurus rex skeleton amazed dozens of visitors to Research Casting during to take dinosaur Doors Open.

Beer, food and entertainment – a winning combination at Quinte Craft Oktoberfest

By Erin Stewart

Belleville – Cheers! Quinte Craft Oktoberfest proved another solid attendance hit for Bay of Quinte tourist region. An estimated 2,000 people made their way to Empire Square in downtown Belleville to enjoy regional craft beer, cider, wine, food and entertainment for the second biannual Quinte Craft festival on Saturday Oct. 1. Laura Voskamp, communications manager for Bay of Quinte Regional Marketing Board, said they are extremely happy with the turnout, despite the gloomy weather. “We’re extremely pleased, we’re so happy to see how many people came out and to know that there was almost 800 tickets presold before the gates opened is a real indicator of the support behind an event like this,” she said.

and Samata Akpik, students at the local school. Their friendly hospitality was amazing and has never been forgotten. To reimburse the community for taking us under their wing, we arranged to have a number of computers and printers delivered to the school. Shipping charges were astronomical and after the fact, I was put in contact with Captain Claude Courcelles who suggested that if we ever had similar shipments destined for the north, the Arctic Search and Rescue Squadron based out of CFB Trenton would be willing to help. Since that time, their service has been astounding. Whenever there was room on a plane, Claude would contact me and we would ask the community for assistance in collecting, packing and shipping donated clothes and sporting equipment to northern communities. From the first shipment, aboriginal studies teacher, Debbie Kilmer and her class at Port Hope High School were on board, initially collecting books and educational material for students in the north. A year later Debbie was transferred to East Northumberland Secondary School. From the first day at her new school, Debbie was driven to help, recruiting fellow teacher Pam Vanderburg and students in their classes. Their passion for the project has been overwhelming. In the shipment this past June, destined for Kuujjuak, Nunavik, students at East Northumberland Secondary inserted their profiles and contact information in with the shipment, striking up pen pal relationships with students in that northern community. To date, thousands of pounds of winter coats, hats, boots, sweaters and sporting equipment have been donated by community members in Port Hope, Cobourg and Brighton Ontario. Students and local citizens continue to be incredibly generous in both their time and their efforts. For example the members of “The Church on the Hill” in Cobourg heard about CFB Trenton’s missions to the north and put out a call to their parishioners, asking them to buy back-to-school supplies to donate to schools in Nunavut. The shipment being air dropped in Kimmirut on Oct. 7 will represent some of the over 25 boxes of brand new school supplies donated by the church members. Principal Doyle Manual and his students in Kimmirut are excited about receiving the new school supplies. Debbie Kilmer, Pam Vanderburg and their students at East Northumberland are anxiously waiting for next spring’s collection to put on a donation blitz. They’ll then sort, fold, pack and ship hundreds of pounds of donated items to their brothers and sisters in the Arctic. The staff of H.D. Power Supply in Colborne also needs a pat on the back. In the summer of 2015 they had a large shipment of electrical equipment being barged to Iqaluit from the port of Montreal. They contacted us and we were able to ship approximately 3,000 pounds to a family shelter with H.D. picking up the thousands of dollars in shipping costs. Once in Iqaluit, the supplies were picked up by members of the Iqaluit Rotary Club and delivered to the shelter for distribution. And then, of course, there are the members of CFB Trenton’s Search and Rescue team who are instrumental in getting these hundreds of boxes to those who need them most. The men and women of this amazing squadron work tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of others. They make us all incredibly proud. Without them and their dedication, this annual project would never have gotten off the ground. If I were in charge of giving out awards of merit, the men and women of CFB Trenton would be first in line. They are always there, quietly working under the radar to make it all happen. A huge thank you to everyone involved for helping to make a difference.

G-Hawks beat Fury 6-3 during Purple in the Rink By Erin Stewart

Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks racked up six points against Whitby Fury during the third annual Purple in the Rink on Friday Sept. 30. With 71 goals scored in their first 10 games of the season, the G-Hawks have racked up $2,911 in support of the Children’s Foundation, with the goal to shutout child abuse. The tally increases with every goal scored. Jodie Carmichael, Trenton Golden Hawks’ director of public relations, said last season sponsors donated $20 for every goal scored but this year the amount has risen to $41 per goal. “It was a really fun thing for the guys to do, it was super competitive for a really good cause and this year it’s up to $41 and we’re over the amount that we raised last year,” she said. The G-Hawks also held a silent auction for all of the players’ purple jerseys worn during the game. “It’s always good playing for a cause and raising awareness and raising money, so it’s some extra motivation before we throw the jersey on before the game to perform,” said defenseman Nick Boddy. “We’re doing pretty good in contributing this year for sure with some of the numbers we’ve been putting up, so it’s

good,” he said. Trenton’s major sponsors will continue to donate a total of $41 per goal scored for the rest of the season. G-Hawks’ Austin Bottrell kicked off the game with the first goal of the night, leading the G-Hawks 1-0 at the end of the first period. Whitby bounced back with two goals in the second period, scored by Justin Brand and Ryan Taylor, but it wasn’t enough to take a lead over the Hawks as Trenton put up four goals in the second period.

Quinte West News - Thursday, October 6, 2016


Quinte Red Devils hockey teams fan out across Ontario On Saturday the Red Devils would travel to Whitby to play the top team in the ETA and the first period wouldn’t bring any scoring to the score sheet as Ethan Taylor was able to provide some spectacular saves during the frame. The second period was much of the same as both teams traded chances with Whitby carrying the majority of the play in the later stages of the period and finally put one past an overworked Ethan Taylor in the final seconds of the second period. Five minutes later on a deflected shot from the point Whitby would take the lead for good and won the game 3-0 on a late empty net goal. On Sunday the Red Devils would play the Richmond Hill Coyotes, a team that sat 1-4-1 after the first six games of the young ETA season. Brennan Bush would get the call in the pipes for the Devils and was steady early on as he turned away the Coyotes attack. Brennan would earn a shutout as the Red Devils won 5-0. The goals were scored by Bailey Matthews, Jake Campbell, Logan White, Zach Uens and Michael Andrews while assists went to Carden Guerin (2), Emmet Pierce (2), Daniel Panetta (2), Jacob Vreugdenhil and Isaac Langdon. 
 On Deck: Next up for the Red Devils will be the Kingston Frontenacs on Wednesday night at 9:30 at the QSWC Family Dental Centre Rink.

Foley Bus Lines - Peewee

The Foley Bus Lines Peewee Red Devils took to the road to Toronto this past weekend to compete in the Canadiens Cup. The Devils played hard, faced many ups and downs and began to show dominance on Saturday, but in the

In Game 1 on Friday Sept 30, the Devils faced their ETA Western Conference rivals, the Richmond Hill Coyotes. The Devils came out strong in the first period by taking a 3-1 lead. The Coyotes would not be undone, as they rallied to tie the game in the third period and take the lead late in the game. Final score was 5-4 in favor of the Coyotes. Scoring for the Bus Liners were; Corbin Roach and Connor Hunt, each with a pair. Assisting on the Red Devils goals were, Isaac Brown and Sami Douglas-Najem. Corbin Votary was in the Devils net.

Donovan McCoy and Dalyn Wakely provided the helpers. Andrew Munro was in the Devils cage. Game 3 on Saturday Oct 1, saw the Devils face the tough Toronto Red Wings. The Red Wings came out strong and took a 3-1 lead after the first frame. The Devils rallied in the second period to come within 1. Each team found the back of the net once in the third as the Red Wings maintained their one goal lead to win the game 6 to 5. Lighting the lamp for the Foley Bus Liners were; Corbin Roach with a pair, Dalyn Wakely with a pair, and Liam Filip.

Tracy McGibbon seeking PC party nomination for Hastings, L&A By Stephen Petrick

Bancroft - The next provincial election is still more than a year away, but political talk is heating up and now candidates are announcing plans to vie for party nominations to enter the race. Bancroft councillor Tracy McGibbon announced on Monday, Oct. 3 she plans to seek the nomination for Ontario’s Progressive Conservative Party to run in the new riding of Hastings, Lennox & Addington. Hastings County residents

are currently represented by Todd Smith, the Progressive Conservative MPP for Prince Edward-Hastings. But riding lines are being redrawn for the 2018 election and Smith plans to run in the new Bay of Quinte riding that will include urban Belleville, Quinte West and Prince Edward County. That means the race to represent HLA for the PCs is wide open. Former Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp, a man with strong ties to the Madoc area, was also expected to enter the race on

Monday and had announced an evening event at the Madoc Arts Centre to discuss his future. McGibbon is well-known in the Bancroft area, as she sits on several boards and committees. “The province needs a new generation of leadership and that’s what Patrick Brown’s PC Party is offering.” McGibbon said. “We need a break from this old, tired Liberal government. It’s time to revive Ontario.” “Under the (Kathleen) Wynne government we’ve experienced hardships impacting our families,

children, seniors and business owners, making it less and less affordable to live and do business in Ontario. “We’ve seen skyrocketing electricity rates, excessive taxes, red tape, job losses and cut backs in healthcare and education. My community and rural Ontario are feeling the pain and I want to do something about it.” The date of the party vote hasn’t been publicly announced yet. The next provincial election is scheduled to be held on or before Oct. 4, 2018.

Bancroft councillor Tracy McGibbon is seeking the PC party’s nomination to run for MPP in the 2018 provincial election.

Kramp, too, tosses hat in ring for HLA Progressive Conservative nod By Diane Sherman

Madoc – Daryl Kramp is taking another kick at the political can. Former Conservative MP Kramp chose his hometown in which to announce he wants to be Progressive Conservative candidate in the newly formed provincial riding of Hastings, Lennox & Addington. Kramp addressed a crowd of party faithful Monday evening, Oct.3, asking for support in winning the nomination as PC candidate for the 2018 provincial election. Kramp served two terms in Ottawa in the Stephen Harper government and lost the 2015 election to Liberal Mike Bossio. Bancroft councillor Tracy McGibbon declared Sunday she too will seek the nomination. Riding boundaries were realigned in Ontario this summer to match federal zones. As a result, current PC MPP Todd Smith will run in the Bay of Quinte riding, opening the door for a PC candidate in HLA. With daughters Taryl and Shelby working actively on his campaign along with staff and

party officials, Kramp appealed to a full house of familiar supporters, stating he still has stamina and determination. He cited rural energy costs as a primary issue, noting costing for hydro is done on a density factor, “cities get it cheaper and rural folks get the shaft.” “That can be changed,” he says, “but, it’s not solvable within the Liberal government. We can still care for the environment and have lower energy costs.” Kramp believes he has a good chance at the nomination after serving the region in senior levels of government for several years, he is well known with dedicated supporters. He said federal experience has shown him ways to deal with policing costs, and notes there is a shortage of skilled labour in Ontario and the debt is a threat to the next generation. Shelby Kramp said to vote in the nomination process one must have a current provincial membership 15 days prior to the nomination date, which is expected to be early November, and, be present at the nomination Daryl Kramp with wife Carol Ann, centre, announced, Oct. 3, he is seeking nomination as a candidate for the convention.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Nuclear power ages Dear Editor The Ontario Clean Air Alliance has several recent articles on Ontario’s aging nukes. As we get older we become a little more brittle and prone to breakdown, so do nuclear power stations. At the same time as OPG wants to extend the use of Pickering and Darlington the municipalities are encouraging population density around the plants, making it extremely hard to plan an evacuation should a Chernobyl or Fuku-

shima type accident occur. “It can’t happen here” is an old saying, in fact it often does, there have been many whoopsies at Pickering in it’s life time. Already repaired years ago at a cost of over one billion plus per reactor, it should be let go at the current license date. OPG want to raise the nuclear rate by 11% each of the next 10 years for a total of 180% which dwarfs solar or wind power rates. Apparently Ontario has a surplus of 59% ca-

NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY! Blessing of the Animals Several area churches observed the annual Blessing of the Animals Sunday, including the congregation of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, in Belleville. The blessing of pets and animals is often celebrated on October 4, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, or on a Sunday near that date. In this year’s case, Sunday Oct. 2 was largely chosen for that date. Here, Rev. Elaine Boone blesses a piglet for Leah Haan. There were several pets, including dogs of all sizes, at last Sunday’s service. Photo by Ross Danaher

It’s Time for our Annual Autumn Drives

By John M. Smith

TICO#50007364

Thanksgiving weekend is upon us once again, a great time for family celebration. It’s also that time of year when many of us decide to participate in an autumn drive, merely to simply enjoy the colourful leaves when they’re all decked out in their finest! Here are this year’s 10 suggestions, many of them relatively close to home: Prince Edward County: A casual autumn drive in my own neighbourhood is always a treat. A nice loop tour includes the Rednersville Road from Rossmore to Carrying Place, Highway #33 to Wellington and Bloomfield, and then highway #62 back to Rossmore – or at Bloomfield, you could continue east to Lake on the Mountain and the Glenora ferry – and then along the lake all the way to Bath or Kingston. Visit pecounty.on.ca. Oak Hills: In the fall of the year, my wife and I always enjoy a drive through the Oak Hills, near Stirling. For a pleasant loop tour, I’d recommend including Frankford and Batawa as well – or drive on a loop that includes Springbrook, Marmora, and Madoc. See hastingscounty.com. Northumberland: Another drive in ‘our own neck of the woods’ will take you along Lake Ontario’s north shore – to Presqu’ile Provincial Park, Brighton, Colborne, Grafton, and Cobourg. Complete the loop by heading northeast to Roseneath and Warkworth. Visit northumberlandcounty.ca. Actinolite and Napanee Loop: Take route #37 from Belleville to Tweed and Actinolite, route #7 northeast to Kaladar, and then #41 south to Napanee before completing the loop. Just before arriving at Napanee, you might decide to stop at Hell Hole, on

the Centreville Road, where you’ll find a well signed nature trail on private property. This will take you to the aforementioned hole in the earth, where a ladder will take you down into Hell (a cool, dark, underground cave). Visit travellandolakes.com. Bon Echo Provincial Park: At Actinolite, continue north on route #41 to Bon Echo Provincial Park. Here you’ll find the towering Mazinaw Rock and many native pictographs. You’ll also find some great canoe routes in this area. Check out ontarioparks.com/ bonecho. Kingston and the Thousand Islands: Take the Old Perth Road to Westport, and then make a nice loop tour that takes you to Chaffey’s Locks, Charleston Lake, and Gananoque. You might even decide to add an autumn colour cruise in the Thousand Islands to this road trip. Check out rideau-info.com and www. thousandislands.com. Algonquin Provincial Park: One of my all-time favourite autumn drives is right through the park (on #60). On one autumn trip there, I stopped twice - for moose! You can also prolong your visit by camping, cycling, or hiking within this beautiful setting – and don’t forget to stop at the Visitor Centre (for yet another spectacular view). You can make this a nice loop tour by driving south of the park, through Haliburton, and back to Bancroft. Visit algonquinpark. on.ca. Haliburton Highlands: In this region of lakes and forests, check out the Panorama Lookout on South Lake Road (at Minden), and enjoy a loop tour that includes

CHRISTMAS IN NASHVILLE NOV 21-26 Cape Breton.................. Oct 11-17 Stratford Festival............ Oct 12-13 Cirque Du Soleil: Luzia........ Oct 13 St. Jacobs ............................ Oct 13 Niagara Falls ................. Oct 17/31 Kingston Pen Tour ............... Oct 20 St. Jacobs ..................... Oct 22-23 Niagara Falls ................. Oct 23-24 Creativ Festival ................... Oct 28

visits to Peterborough, Lindsay, Fenelon Falls, Bobcaygeon, and the village of Haliburton itself. Visit haliburtoncounty.ca. Muskoka: With its hardwood forests and plethora of lakes, this area attracts a lot of autumn visitors, so expect some crowds. You can take #400 and #11 to Gravenhurst, Bracebridge, and Huntsville (where Lion’s Lookout offers you a great view of the area). The nearby Dorset Lookout Tower overlooks the Lake of Bays. Visit discovermuskoka.ca. The Ontario Ghost Road: The Old Rosseau-Nipissing Colonization Road was one of a network of roads devised by the provincial government to encourage settlement of the area, to aid the large lumber companies with better access, and to provide this flourishing business with a built-in work force. Although this drive is further away and more challenging, I did this one last year, and I found it to be very scenic and historically interesting. This rugged road began in Rosseau (southwest of Huntsville) in 1864 and ran parallel to what’s now route #11. It now passes through several ghost towns, including Seguin Falls, Spence, and Rye. For more Information: nipissingroad. ca There are, of course, many other options for picturesque autumn drives, so if you don’t choose one of these listed here, then simply choose some intriguing route of your own design. The main thing This was taken on the Pulver Side Road. is to just get out there and enjoy. After all, it may be a long time before we’ll have bare, clear roads again, for there’s a rumour that ‘the white stuff ’ is on its way!

Assisted dying is available via Quinte Health Care sites: Zoutman By Jack Evans

Quinte West - Financial threats, assisted dying and impacts of a brutally hot summer were among topics discussed at a meeting of the Quinte Health Care Board Tuesday. But, it was the matter of assisted dying that captured the most rapt attention from the many in the audience in Trenton. The matter of assisted dying was addressed by Dr. Dick Zoutman, QHC chief of medical staff, as something the medical staff have discussed and “it is now available on request,” he said. That drew questions by some board members about who would be “requesting.” “Strictly the patient,” assured Dr. Zoutman. There were also concerns about how people could apply and the answer was that the province has compiled a list and procedures involved. Anyone interested can be referred to a participating doctor through their own medical services provider. The meeting, held in the council chambers for Quinte West, drew a huge crowd of spectators, primarily in staunch

support of their local Trenton Memorial Hospital. Early in the meeting, Mike Cowan, on behalf of “Our TMH” group made a presentation affirming that the group is willing to work with Quinte Health Care as long as it continues to honour the goals of Our TMH. That includes to acknowledge the continuation of day surgery and also to support that position to the South East LHIN. The recent hot summer was also a “hot button” issue for the hospital complex. Quinte area hospitals have long been recognized as major players in respiratory problems of all hospitals in the LHIN area. But the exceptionally hot summer brought droves of new cases requiring treatment and even hospitalization, reported CEO Mary Clare Egberts. She suggested the sharp increase was a serious strain on hospital resources and agreed that the tendency for Quinte area residents to be tobacco users, moreso than much of Ontario can be identified as the key link. In finances, Dave MacKinnon, chair

of the board’s finance committee, cast a worried eye on the future. He noted that gross domestic product growth is shrinking around the world and nationally. As the federal government is a key funding source for hospitals, “all hospitals across Ontario and Canada should be wary about future funding prospects,” he said. The previous Conservative government had provided a six per cent annual increase for some years, but in its final days announced a cutback to three per cent to start in April of2017. “The new federal health minister, so far, has not decided to restore that to six per cent,” he said. He reported that unusual situations have caused a deficit in financing for the “short term,” but the board should be able to end its year in the black. Quinte Health Care now employs some 1,700 people between its four locations. Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison , in introductory remarks, gave a warm welcome to the board and the large number of spectators and said his municipality is “open to hosting such meetings at any Dr. Dick Zoutman, chief of staff Quinte Health Care. Photo submitted time.”

Poverty Roundtable recognizes past, prepares for future By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – The Poverty Roundtable of Hastings Prince Edward continues to gain momentum under new leadership. Workers from dozens of social agencies packed a meeting room at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre on Wednesday, Sept. 29, for the second meeting under new director Christine Durant. The roundtable group meets about every two months to discuss poverty issues and see how different agencies can work together to tackle problems. Sometimes the event includes guest speakers. The meeting was more to update members on events, as Durant used the forum to promote the upcoming educational forum taking place on Tuesday, Nov. 8 called Join the Conversation Shift. The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Maranatha Church in Belleville and will feature a speech by Pat Capponi, the founder of the organization Voices From the Street, which works to discuss issues such as

homelessness, poverty and addictions. She also spoke about the roundtable’s work to lobby for the continuation of a Data Analysis Co-ordinator for the region, whose job is to track statistics related to poverty. That position was previously administered by the Ministry of Education, but could potentially be continued by Hastings County. The original Poverty Roundtable Director, JoAnne Lewis, was honoured during the meeting. She took on the new role about two years ago when there was only a budget to allow for 10 paid hours a week. But, through her efforts to seek grant money, more funds were eventually allotted for the program, allowing for the hiring of Durant, whose position is based out of the Community Development Council of Quinte office. Durant, was hired as part of a project called Creating Communities, which is being funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Roundtable member Ruth Ingersoll called Lewis “a trailblazer” for the work she did. Ruth Ingersoll (left) presented a bouquet of flowers to outgoing Poverty Roundtable director JoAnne Lewis

at the groups last meeting on Sept. 28 at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre.

1. Heating & Ventilation - Examine your fireplace and chimney system to ensure that no soot or creosote has collected. Any cracks or voids could potentially cause a fire. Before you turn the furnace or boiler on, replace the air filter and hire a professional to inspect the unit more thoroughly. These steps will improve the efficiency and life of your furnace and will ensure stable indoor air quality. 2. Seal Windows and Doors - If not properly sealed, windows and doors can be a major culprit for heat loss. To keep the warm air inside, inspect the weather-stripping around your home’s windows and doors for leaks, rot or decay. Repair or replace structural framing, and caulk inside and out, if necessary. 3. Insulate well - One of the easiest and most effective defenses against heat loss is proper insulation. Prevent cold drafts from entering and the loss of heated air through basement headers, which, when left exposed, can make your furnace work harder. Look for a moisture-resistant product offering high thermal performance, such as Roxul

Comfortbatt insulation. This type of mineral wool insulation makes installation simple. All that’s needed is a serrated blade or bread knife. Cut the batt to fit the cavity and press into place. The insulation will help improve energy efficiency as soon as it’s in place and provide savings over the lifetime of your home. Comfortbatt can also be used to top or replace old attic insulation. Aim for an R-50 or a depth of 16 inches. 4. Backyard Care - Save your property from potential damage by trimming overgrown trees and shrubs to prevent ice-laden branches from thrashing against electrical wires and your home’s exterior. Drain/shut off any exterior faucets and sprinkler systems to prevent freezing. Ensure rain or snow drains away from the house to avoid foundation problems. 5. Roof and Gutters - Inspect your roof for shingles that are warped, damaged or even missing to prevent a future leak. Use roofing cement and a caulking gun to seal joints where water could penetrate, such as around the chimney, skylights or vent pipes. Make sure that your gutters and downspouts are securely fastened. Downspouts should extend at least five feet away from the home to prevent flooding. When it comes to preventative maintenance, a little time and effort can save thousands in energy costs and repair bills over the lifetime of your home.

Simpson, Mabel G

Loving wife of the late Harry Simpson, passed away June 23, 2016. A private internment was attended. Mom wanted to thank all the patrons through-out the years when she contributed to the community and the Brighton tourism industry. Her service started in 1969 when Mom and Dad opened up “The Woodmere Lodge” in Presqu’ile (this was back when Mark Walas was a brat on a mini bike). They then opened up “The Ranch House” in the 70’s at the corner by the park. Dad passed way and she then opened up “The Tea House by the Park” in the 90’s. The winters got to be too much down at the corner, she moved into town opening up a tea house at 78 Main Street, serving homemade desserts and light lunches. Move believed in supporting the local economy. She employed local staff. She was a hard working honest woman. She was a very smart woman - though her outspoken thoughts would get her into hot water sometimes. She was a great baker, a great cook, a great mother and she will be greatly missed.

Course in Wooler. Loving mother to Robert of Winnipeg, Janice Kinley (Dave) of Blind Bay, B.C. , Barb Muise (Mike) of Marmora & the late Ron. Proud grandmother of 6 grandchildren & 3 great grandchildren. Cremation has taken place. There will be no visitation or funeral service. Arrangements: McConnell Funeral Home, Marmora. Donations to the Alzheimer Society in Agnes’ memory would be appreciated. www.mcconnellfuneralhome.ca

Loving husband of Wendy (Liversidge) and the late Nancy (Stewart). Dear father of Diana Zinck , Kenneth Zinck, both of Victoria B.C., and Brian Ostrander and his wife Tammy of Brighton. Predeceased by his daughter Cherilyn Vandament. Brother of Robert Zinck (Beatrice), Raymond Zinck (Beulah), Marina Withers (Donald), Wallace Zinck (Vivian) all of Nova Scotia. Predeceased by his brother Doug Evans and sister-inlaw Marion Evans. Brother-in-law of Allison Kremer (Blaine) of Toronto, Gerry Timm (Art) of Saskatoon, and Daryl Lindberg (Garry) of Ottawa. Sadly missed by grandchildren, Kyla Vandament, Kaitlyn Ostrander, Megan Ostrander, step-grandchildren, Scott Vandament, Kim Vandament and their families, and his many nieces and nephews. The family received friends at the Brighton Funeral Home, 130 Main Street, Brighton (613-475-2121) on Monday, October 3, 2016. Service was held at Trinity St. Andrew’s United Church, Brighton on Tuesday, October 4, 2016 at 2 o’clock. Cremation with interment Mount Hope Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy, donations to the Trinity St. Andrew’s United Church Building Fund, The Bridge Hospice, or the Canadian Cancer Society, would be appreciated by the family. www.rushnellfamilyservices.com.

New festival mixes jazz, classics By Jack Evans

From Anglican priest to impresario is an easy jump for the Rev. Bob Wright, recently retired back to the Quinte area. He’s done it before and music, in his words is “my soul.” Wright has announced the launch of “Stirlingfest,” a new music festival starting this fall, the weekend of Oct. 14-16 at St. John’s Anglican Church in Stirling. He had been rector there for about 12 years, from 1986 to 1998 before he moved to take over historic St. Mark’s Church in scenic Niagara on the Lake until he retired at age 65 this past summer. In an interview last week, he enthused that he continues to have some involvement with St.

Mark’s as he is helping arrange that church’s 225th anniversary coming up. That includes a visit by the distinguished English choir from Trinity College, Cambridge who Wright describes as “the best choir I have ever heard.” In Niagara on the Lake, he was also involved with Music Niagara, where he made connections with people who are now assisting him to track down and arrange for top talented artists for his new festival venture. St. John’s has a pipe organ installed in 1989, during his tenure, plus a concert quality grand piano, donated by the famous Connor sisters of Belleville, who had close associations with Oak Lake, both well maintained, plus charming acoustics. The Gabriel Kney organ, for instance, for its inaugural concert, drew a crew from the CBC to record and broadcast that concert. It comfortably seats about 150 and there’s still room in the adjoining, accessible hall

stars. The following Saturday evening, also at 7:30, brings the John Sherwood Trio with Sherwood at the piano, Dave Young on bass and Quinte resident Brian Barlow on drums. Sunday, Oct. 16 at 3 p.m. , violinist Atis Bankas returns with Constanze Beckman on piano and Giles Bryant on pipe organ, again all acclaimed and widely recognized musicians. “Some festivals feature good musicians at reasonable prices, but this festival features great musicians at reasonable prices,” he quipped. Having spent most of his young life in the Quinte area, where his father, the late Rev. Robert Wright was rector at St. Mary Magdalene, Picton and then Christ Church, Belleville, Wright had long been looking fowar1d to ensconcing himself in a rural property north of Madoc, where he now lives and works part time as rector for Anglican churches in Bonarlaw and Marmora. Even years ago when he was still rector at St. John’s, Stirling, he dabbled in arranging several musical acts for concerts in the audience-friendly church. Reinforcing his love of good music, he said his mother was a wonderful singer but he inherited his vocation calling from his father, “but music is my soul.”His own children were raised in the Stirling community which he affirms is “a wonderful place to raise a family.” For tickets or more information, contact (613) 398-7573.


Panto is focus of SFT’s 20th birthday celebration By Jack Evans

*Metroland distribution area. Source: BrandSpark International Survey 2016. Story credit: simcoe.com

Stirling - With a voice that could fill a football field without even a microphone, Debbie Collins has been a stalwart of the annual pantomime at the Stirling Festival Theater for many years. So it’s not surprising that she is playing a key role in the special 20th anniversary celebration show for the theatre on Saturday, Oct. 15 at 8 p.m. She, along with another pantomime regular, JP Baldwin are co-hosts for this show, which will feature highlights from various pantomimes over the years and probably more. Collins is doing a Judy Garland show in the theatre on the same weekend so may also include some songs from that, she suggested. For Collins, a Toronto denizen, Stirling has almost become “my second home,” she said in a telephone interview. “I’m really looking forward to mid October in Stirling and especially the 20th anniversary show.” She traced her involvement in theatre to dance, which she studied seriously as a teenager. That led her to a role in a production of “A Chorus Line,” and “I never looked back,” she chuckled. Collins credited Caroline

Smith, who launched the SFT 20 years ago, with reviving the British pantomime tradition in Ontario and making Stirling its capital for years. “Caroline single-handedly invented the naughty panto. That really put Stirling on the map,” she said. She recalled the first panto at the SFT she was involved with was “Jack and the Beanstalk,” which is being repeated this year. Since then, “I’ve done at least a dozen of more,” she added. “I’m just waiting to achieve instant fame,” she quipped, adding, “I just keep doing what I’m doing.” Her Judy Garland show, featuring many great songs by the famed singer runs Friday and Saturday, Oct. 14 and 15 at 8 p.m. with a pre-show dinner for the Friday show for $25 at 6 p.m. The 20th anniversary show also includes a dinner for an extra $25. The live show will be backed by Collins’ own pit band, with songs, comedy and, of course, “If I should ever lose my job,” with its wacky choreography. Ticket s are $24 for theatre members, $26 for seniors, $28 for non members. For tickets or information, call (613) 395-2100.

Grannies show off the gladrags and new anthem Oct. 15 In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Quinte Grannies for Africa, Jeanette Arsenault, local singer/songwriter, will launch her newest song, Grandmothers Rising, which she has composed and recorded for the group, at their fall Fashion Show on October 15th. Quinte Grannies for Africa is a member of The Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. Launched in 2006, the Campaign was a Canadian grassroots response to the crisis faced by African grandmothers as they struggled to care for millions of children, orphaned by AIDS. A decade later, the Campaign is a dynamic movement of thousands of grandmothers and grandothers who have three shared goals: raise awareness, build solidarity, and mobilize funds for community-based organizations that support African grandmothers and the children in their care. The African grandmothers are leaders, sharing their expertise in their communities and on the international stage, pressing for their human rights and a hopeful future. Jeanette says “I am so honoured to have been asked to write a song celebrating grandmothers they are the backbone of our society. They have time, energy, resources, smarts and they dedicate themselves to the worthiest of causes: helping the children of Africa orphaned by the devastation that AIDS has wreaked on their families. The grandmothers have stepped up and should all be celebrated as well as supported. Bravo Quinte Grannies for all your tireless efforts to support the grandmothers of Africa!”

Quinte Grannies for Africa is proud to showcase her launch on October 15th at 2 pm at Christ Church in Belleville at their Fashion Show featuring grannies modelling fashions from Kimberley’s Déjà Vu boutique and African women modelling their traditional dress. Tickets are available for $15 at Quinte Arts Council office or by contacting Mieke at 613-969-1782.”
