Vimy Ridge Oak sapling now rooted in Quinte West

OVER 60 YEARS EXPERIENCE

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — From the battlefield of Vimy Ridge in northern France to Bain Park in Quinte West, a Vimy Oak sapling is now rooted in Trenton.

It started with Canadian soldier Lieutenant Leslie Miller of Scarborough who gathered acorns from an oak tree on Vimy Ridge after the battle.

The battle of Vimy Ridge, April 9-12, 1917, is considered one of the defining events in the history of Canada. Allied troops struggled and failed but the Canadians overcame great odds to eventually capture the ridge.

In the course of the battle, nearly every tree in the once-forested area had been destroyed.

Miller sent the acorns home to Canada to be planted on his Scarborough farm, which he later named The Vimy Oaks. Today, 10 of the trees still exist on the property, now owned by the Scarborough Chinese Baptist Church.

To mark the 100th anniversary of the battle of Vimy Ridge, 100 saplings produced from The Vimy Oaks in Scarborough will be repatriated back to Vimy Ridge to replenish the Vimy Foundation Centennial Park, adjacent to the Canadian National Vimy Memorial site.

Vimy Oak saplings are being grown

by NVK Nurseries in Dundas, Ont., and surplus trees have been available for sale.

Neil Ellis, MP for the Bay of Quinte, and his family have donated the Vimy Oak sapling to the Quinte West community in Bain Park and

another two saplings for Bellville and one for Picton.

“The saplings produced from The Vimy Oaks will be used to replenish the Vimy Foundation Centennial Park in France and also serve as commemorative trees all across Canada,” said Ellis during the planting ceremony at Bain Park on Thursday Oct. 12.

“It is our hope that, however high it may reach, this Vimy Oak might

serve as a firm reminder to us all of the immense sacrifice and fortitude of all.”

Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said the oak tree is a powerful tree.

“This is very representative of our country, recognizes the strengths and endurance we’ve exhibited over the years. We’re proud to have it,” he said.

“It’s special, it’s here right where our veterans are located and right next to

CFB Trenton 8 Wing so it’s part of our heritage and it will be part of our future.”

Royal Canadian Legion branches and other qualifying organizations can purchase a sapling for $125 for nursery and administration costs plus freight to a destination in Canada.

Application forms can be requested by email to Robert Domoney at VimyOaksCanada@rogers.com.

Need for affordable housing stressed at Quinte West council

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — In an effort to reduce and prevent homelessness throughout Hastings County, Trenton or Belleville will soon be home to a new 40-unit residence to help keep people off of the streets.

Hastings County was one of few municipalities to receive grant funding to a tune of $4.8 million through the “Home for Good Project” program, after a successful application process. Hastings received 75 per cent of the costs for the new facility and will cover the other 25 per cent, $1.6 million.

“It’s really about community-driven solutions that focus on preventing or transitioning people out of chron-

ic homelessness and preventing new chronic homelessness from occurring,” said Michelle Ogden, assistant manager of affordable housing policy and partnerships, house services, with Hastings County, at the Quinte West council meeting on Monday Oct. 16.

Described as a housing-first approach, the facility will be a permanent affordable housing building with 24/7 supports services.

“We are going to be working with people that have adult developmental disabilities, acquired brain injury, adults and youth with mental health and addiction concerns, people transitioning from correctional facilities or health care facilities and senior adults.”

Ogden said part of the $6.4 million will go toward constructing the 40-unit building and the rest will be used for operating costs associated with rent supplement programs, a rent fund for first and last month's rent, and staffing dollars to hire staff to work in the building.

The facility, which will mainly be

for individuals or couples, will be owned and operated by Hastings County.

It will consist of 40 units, of which 38 will be one-bedroom and two will be bachelor suites.

There will be about six to eight wheelchair-accessible units with two of them being fully accessible with enhanced features like height-adjustable cupboards.

There will also be 24/7 support services on site in the facility, with four offices in the building.

“Addictions and mental health services will be providing the 24/7 support; they will have two staff on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” said Ogden.

There will also be an office for a Hastings County staff member and a flex space for other agencies to come in and support clients.

Tenancies will be contingent upon residents agreeing to receive the support services in the building; that’s mandatory, said Ogden, as the support systems are the key to keep people staying stably housed.

Ogden said Hastings County is hoping to have the building up and running by October 2018.

The project was praised by council members and also sparked discussion about the great need for affordable and accessible housing in the area.

Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison wanted to know what he should do when people contact him directly asking for help because they have nowhere to go.

“I turn around and I call the Salvation Army,” said Harrison. “There are other situations where people come here and they have just the clothes on their back, the rest have been thrown over the fence somewhere because they disobeyed the rules where they were living and once they disobey those rules, they’re gone.”

Councillor Sally Freeman said council must always remember to push hard for more social housing.

“There’s $5 million being spent and only 40 people are going to be helped, give or take, we need 10 times more than that just to start to catch up with what we need, it’s getting so bad,” she said.

Freeman said the waitlist is frighteningly long for seniors needing accessible apartments.

“Accessibility apartments are probably the worst. I had to find something for my sister when she needed something accessible, there wasn’t anything — in a regular building, there’s almost no accessible apartments,” she said.

“There’s so

Frankford family escapes house fire Frankford — A mother and her three children safely escaped overnight when their family home went up in flames.

Fire Chief John Whelan said the cause was electrical in nature and estimated damage at around $200,000.

much we have to do, what we really need to do is yell at people at Queen’s Park and the federal government too, to provide more help.”

Darren Burke, manager of housing services with Hastings County, said there are currently 780 tenants in 554 social housing units in Quinte West.

Currently, about 710 people are on the waitlist in Quinte West for social housing and about half of the people on the waitlist are seniors.

To answer Harrison’s question about what can be done in situations when someone is in need of somewhere to stay, Burke said people should contact the Intake Access Centre at the Hasting County’s community and human services department at 1-866-414-0300.

“We have a lot of people who can’t afford to buy their next meal, let alone a place to live, that’s what you have to talk about and think about,” said Harrison. “We have to be committed to it; the province, the federal government has to be committed to affordable housing.”

Similar to the City’s Annual Hydrant Flushing Program, the City warns that discolouration of tap water is possible. This is caused by quick flowing water disrupting sediment that normally wouldn’t be disturbed by average household pressures. Residents that experience discolouration can run their cold water taps until the water is clear. Please avoid doing laundry while water is discoloured.

Fire flow testing will be carried out daily 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

volunteer historian with the Trent Port Historical Society, said they wanted to do something a little different this year, with the ghosts hopping onto the bus to tell passengers their story. “We loved the idea. It’s also something that doesn’t just have to be for Halloween,� she said. “It’s not spooky. It’s going to have some humour, too.�

The bus will make about eight stops along the route to hear from the ghosts of past Trentonians like Eva Curtis.

Curtis was the first Canadian woman

to win the Order of the British Empire for bravery in 1918, after the British chemical factory in Trenton exploded.

She worked at the factory and stayed to keep the lines of communication open to warn people and alert emergency services, said Beal.

OPINION

Corporate snakes slither in Sears wake

Adult supervision needed at White House Here’s the scenario. Late one evening Donald Trump is watching Fox News and a report comes on that North Korea is planning to launch a missile that can reach the United States. (Kim Jongregime has said Gwynne Dyer un’s it is going to do that one of these days – but only as a test flight landing in the ocean somewhere, not as an attack.)

Trump misunderstands, and thinks Pyongyang is going to launch a missile at the United States. After all, there was a graphic with the report that shows the trajectory of the North Korean missile reaching the US, and Trump trusts Fox much more than his own intelligence services. So he orders all US strategic forces to go to DEFCON 1: Defence Readiness Condition One – nuclear war is imminent.

The North Koreans spot all the unusual activity in the American forces – leave cancelled in Strategic Air Command, US nuclear subs in port sailing with zero warning leaving part of their crews behind, etc. – and conclude that an American preemptive attack is imminent.

The North Koreans go to their own equivalent of DEFCON 1: mobilizing and dispersing their armed forces, evacuating their leadership from the capital to some bunker in the countryside, and so on. American intelligence reports all this activity, and this time Trump actually listens to them. So he orders a disarming strike on all North Korean nuclear weapons and facilities. With US nuclear weapons, of course. Nothing else would do the job.

That’s how the Second Korean War starts.

Not many Americans would be killed, and probably no civilians, because in fact North Korea doesn’t yet have any long-range missiles that can accurately deliver nuclear weapons on the United States, but millions would die in both parts of Korea. With luck, the Chinese would stay out even as their North Korean ally is reduced to rubble.

It’s just a scenario, but it’s one that keeps many people awake at night – including many senior people in the US military. That’s why reports have been surfacing recently that the US Secretary of Defence, General James Mattis, the National Security Adviser, General H.R McMaster, and Trump’s Chief of Staff, General John Kelly, have made a secret

pact that all three will never be abroad at the same time.

Why not? Because at least one very senior military officer must always be in the country to monitor orders coming from the White House, and countermand them if necessary.

I cannot vouch for the accuracy of these reports, but I believe them. I was already assuming that some arrangement like that was in place. Mattis, McMaster and Kelly are serious, experienced and professional military officers, and it would be a dereliction of duty for them not to ensure that there is always at least one responsible adult between Trump and the nuclear button.

If one of these generals actually found himself in the position of having to stop Trump, he would face an agonizing decision.

All his training tells him that he must obey civilian authority, and he will certainly be court-martialled if he disobeys a presidential order. On the other hand, he must not allow millions of human beings to die because of a stupid mistake.

I’m sure they think about it, and I doubt that any of them knows which way he would actually jump if the situation arose. Providing adult supervision is a tricky business, especially when the child is technically your superior.

And having said all this, it occurs to me that some senior military officers in North Korea must face the same dilemma. They too have a child-man in charge, and they will be all too aware that if “little rocket man”, as Trump calls him, stumbles into a war with the United States, then they, their families, and practically everybody they have ever met will be killed.

Their dilemma is even worse, because they serve a petulant god-king who has the power of life and death over them and their families. To stop Kim Jong-un, if he were about to make a fatal mistake, they would have to kill him and accept that they would almost certainly be killed themselves immediately afterwards. Would they actually do that?

They don’t even know the answer to that themselves, but I‘m sure they think about it.

There is probably not going to be a Second Korean War. Probably neither set of senior officers is ever going to face this ultimate crisis. A subtle form of adult supervision is exercised on a daily basis in both capitals, because even the loosest of loose cannons has to work through other people in order to get his orders turned into actions.

But things have come to a pretty pass when we can have this discussion without sounding crazy.

Editorial by Chris Malette This editorial is being written in the cavernous, mostly empty shell of the former Nortel building.

You remember Nortel? The corporate goliath that was the world-beating electronics and research leader that saw its infancy in the former Northern Electric, which begat Northern Telecom which eventually became the global rock star known as Nortel.

It all went pffffft! in a spectacular cloud of corporate greed and mismanagement.

Look at the headlines today in Belleville. Sears – Sears of all companies – is dissolving like butter in a skillet after several years of, wait for it… corporate greed and mismanagement.

Why, in this region alone, between the corporate losses of Nortel and Sears in Belleville and GE in Peterborough, upwards of 3,000-well paying jobs – jobs with good pay, healthy benefits and pensions – have gone into the ether.

That’s a heavy blow for any part of the country, let alone one without a particularly dense manufacturing sector.

But, the boardroom bandits will have made out okay, you can bet. It’s not anti-capitalistic commie-speak to deride the sorts of individuals who have gutted companies like Nortel and Sears while lining their pockets with multi-million dollar dividends and payouts. This isn’t a knock on free enterprise, it’s a call for a bounty on the types of corporate players, weasels and manipulators who play roulette with the lives of people who counted on those jobs, pensions and benefits. All that’s left in their wake, after all, are shelf-stocking zombie jobs at places like dollar stores with not a sniff of dental care or a pension in sight.

Toronto Star business columnist David Olive painted a grim picture of the most evil among the players in the downfall of Sears and Sears Canada’s decision last week to begin liquidating all its Canadian assets.

Eddie Lampert, 55, is a U.S. hedge fund manager who has long controlled Chicago-based Sears Holdings and is still the largest shareholder in its Canadian affiliate, Sears Canada. Lampert, said Olive, “has a demonstrated incompetence in retailing with few equals in the annals of North American merchandizing.” But, he’s making out like a bandit in the collapse of the company he’s ridden into the dust.

According to Business Insider, Lampert has blamed the company’s decline on everything from shifts in consumer spending to the rise of e-commerce, and even — at times — the weather. More recently, he’s taken to attacking the media, saying reports speculating on a Sears bankruptcy are thwarting his efforts to turn the business around.

“Every time people use the word bankruptcy,

DISTRIBUTION MANAGER Paul Mitchell 613-966-2034 ext 508 SALES MANAGER Melissa Hudgin 613-966-2034, ext 504 ADVERTISING SALES Norah Nelson, 613-966-2034, ext 501 Michael Kelly, 613-966-2034, ext 506 Morgan Scott, 613-966-2034 ext 518 Orlinda Johnston, 613-966-2034 ext 526

somebody who reads that doesn’t get past that word,” he told the Chicago Tribune in a recent interview. “It makes it very unfair for us, and it’s a very uneven playing field for us.”

Sears Canada having struggled for so long – its liquidation follows four straight years of losses – makes it possible to miss how significant a place on the retail landscape Sears Canada has occupied.

Deeply-rooted in Canada, having launched in the 1950s, Sears Canada at the time of its death had a sprawling network of big-city and suburban department-stores, a network of small-town catalogue distribution outlets and the renowned Wish Book catalogue.

While 2,900 Sears Canada employees are losing their jobs, benefits and pension plans, the company’s CEO and senior managers are getting bonuses.

The managers are receiving retention bonuses over the next few months, under Sears Canada’s Key Employee Retention Plan (KERP). It was approved by the Ontario Superior Court last week when it also approved the company’s liquidation plans.

The terminated employees, meanwhile, will not be getting any severance pay and will lose all benefits and pension plans. Court documents show many examples of terminated employees who have written their concerns about the lay offs.

“I am one of the Sears employees having a termination without severance,” said one. “I am 60 years old and have been employed 34.74 years

by Sears Canada. I’ve always held a manager or assistant-manager position. The recent turn of events has seriously threatened the financial security and health of my family. The loss of severance is a significant loss.”

Some 20 years ago, there was hoopla and fanfare like few could remember in Belleville – save perhaps the days when the city went on a threeday bender when the hockey Macs brought home the world championship – when Sears built the massive catalogue distribution centre.

There were grand feasts, spectacular toasts, that only matched the Herculean construction job that took almost two years to complete to build one of the most state-of-the-art wired warehouses in the country.

In the end, nothing worked to save that marvel of modern retailing or the jobs that came with it.

But the top execs and hedge fund investors lined their pockets as employees in places like Belleville’s Quinte Mall store and the catalogue distribution centre started nervously watching mid-level managers eye the door for a safe, fast get-away.

Quinte West — With Remembrance Day a few weeks away, the Frankford and Trenton branches of the Royal Canadian Legion are gearing up for their annual poppy campaigns.

The campaigns will launch on Friday, Oct. 27.

Frankford Royal Canadian Legion Branch 387 will have legion members manning poppy boxes at a number of locations in Frankford, said Monty Elliston, second vice-president of the branch.

The campaign ensures that the branch has funds available for local veterans.

“It’s our main campaign every year to raise funds to support the veterans,” said Elliston. “Most branches are finding it difficult to make ends meet — the change in society and liquor laws, etcetera — so the funds aren’t always available through branch resources to do what we want.”

Al Plume, first vice-president of the Trenton Royal Canadian Legion Branch 110 and poppy campaign chair, said the branch will be distributing more than 300 boxes at 180 locations in Quinte very close to my heart and every- Al Plume, 1st Vice President of the Trenton Royal West including schools, restau- body’s.”

Songs from the Heart for New Life Girls’ Home

BY ERIN STEWART

Belleville — Enjoy an evening of music in support of New Life Girls’ Home during the Songs from the Heart Gospel Concert at Maranatha Church in Belleville Nov. 18.

The Daughters of the King will perform along with Wendell Ferguson, Don Reed, Dan Washburn, Andy Schick, Kiley-Joe Masson and Frank Woodcock during the gospel concert, with all of the proceeds going to New Life Girls’ Home.

Debbie McLean, house and ministry co-ordinator at New Life Girls’ Home and member of the Daughters of the King alongside Kim Inch, said the second annual concert is important because the nonprofit organization has solely depended on support from businesses, community organizations, churches and individuals for 28 years.

New Life is a not-for profit Christian residential program for young women ages 18-30 who are struggling with life controlling issues like drug and alcohol addiction, sexual, mental, and physical abuse and mental health illnesses.

Its mission is to provide a safe place for young women with life controlling problems to experience healing and transformation through the love of Jesus.

“It’s close to my heart, I’ve dealt with a few mental health issues myself in regards to depression and personally I had a nervous breakdown a few years ago, and now I get to work with young women who have some similar issues that I can help,” said McLean.

New Life Girls’ Home is a large farmhouse located in Consecon, which can house nine women at a time. Depending on the situations, women can stay for four months or a full year program that has three semesters, said McLean.

“The majority of ladies do tend to stay for the year,” she said. “We work with the girls to get to the root issues so that they can heal, and move on with their lives and have a productive life,” she said.

“We do have girls that come here from within the local area and then we have girls that come from all over Canada actually.”

The program focuses on Christcentred nurturing, intensive Christian education, one-on-one coaching, lifeskills training and community ministry opportunities.

The Gospel Concert will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday Nov. 18.

Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door, children 12 and under are free. Ticket outlets are Riverside Music in Trenton, Pinnacle Music in Belleville, Sam the Record Man and the Chamber of Commerce in Picton.

Behind the scenes with 8 Wing Trenton’s explosives experts

BY MAKALA CHAPMAN

Trenton – It’s not every day that residents accidentally dig up old Second World War relics like mortars and old grenades.

But when they do, the military gets involved said 8 Wing Trenton’s Sgt. Steve Kozlik with 8 Explosive Disposal Flight (EDF).

Any cases involving military-grade explosives or weaponry in the region, either from the past or present, are primarily the responsibility of 8 EDF. Once called to the scene, the team of explosive disposal technicians are tasked with neutralizing and destroying the potential threat.

As an example, Kozlik recalled when the team had recently been sent out to a location near Odessa, Ont., to deal with what was initially believed to have been a mortar.

“It ended up being an aircraft practice bomb,” he said, noting that it had been filled with concrete, not any explosive materials.

In another incident, he recalled the time when the Durham regional police called the base to deal with four grenades they had seized in early July.

“We ended up evacuating everyone from the beach area and disposed of them under controlled conditions,” said Kozlik.

8 EDF is responsible for answering

calls all the way from Oshawa to just short of North Bay and to the east near Ottawa.

As for what the team deals most within the Quinte region, Master Corporal D.J. Cascone, also with 8 EDF, said it’s for reports of LUU and other marker location marine flares being found.

“The (marker location marine flares) are used for marking your position on the water if a search for stranded boaters or something like that,” he said, adding that the LUU flares are often using during training exercises.

He further went on to explain that if any military items are found, such as a flare, it should be reported to the police or the military for collection and proper disposal.

Chiming in on the conversation, Capt. Steve Methot noted that often times people keep military items they find as souvenirs, unaware of the real dangers they pose.

“The explosive over time deteriorates and changes,” he said. “That’s when it gets difficult to predict its behaviour. It’s unsafe.”

Just recently the team had to deal with a case of a contractor taking home a military artifact he had found while on the job in Kingston.

“A contractor working on a pool happened to pull up a practice round

from a Howitzer that was dated between 1920 to 1945,” he said. “He was hoping to keep it but after talking to (family) he decided contact the Kingston Police, who then got a hold of us.”

Luckily for the contractor, Kozlik noted that the practice round had also just been filled with concrete and wasn’t at risk of exploding.

But he added that keeping up-todate with military weapons from both the past and present was crucial to the job since there is always the possibility of unearthed explosives yet to be found.

“We still have to stay up-to-date on everything from the First World War, the Second World War and beyond,” he said, adding that they’ve uncovered items like cannonballs, which easily predate the 1900s. “It can a dangerous job, but we make it as safe as possible. “ To help make the job a little safer, 8 EDF utilizes items like remotely operated vehicles (ROV) which have the ability to act as the eyes, ears and hands of the technicians during dangerous situations.

One of the most useful features of the remotely operated robots includes its claw and camera, said Cascone.

“It allows us to be upwards of a kilometre away from whatever it is we’re trying to look at,” he said. “The last thing we want to do is be standing

A selection of military-grade explosives that 8 EDF has either found while on the job or use for training back at their headquarters.

over top of something and it goes off.”

He went on to explain that the robot claw was able to do everything from opening cars, ripping stuff apart to being able to drag a human out of a danger zone in the case of an emergency.

Another useful tool used by the 8 EDF team is the EOD9 suit that is used during calls.

Fixed with a two-way radio, a climate controlled helmet and a light, the suit is also a critical component of the job.

But Methot reiterated that despite

Have You Had Your Hearing Tested Lately?

having top of the line equipment to help aid the team with their job, it still has its dangers.

“It’s very important what we do here,” he said. “Our guys are trained, they know what to do, they have the equipment, and they should be the people that should be handling (explosives) when people come across them.”

When 8 EDF isn’t busy responding to calls, they spend the majority of their time training and furthering their skills.

Trenton’s pioneering Lesley Bonisteel and The Old Church Theatre

BY VIC SCHUKOV

Quinte West – When Lesley Bonisteel was growing up on her father’s farm north of Trenton, she wanted to become “a pioneer.”

In her own words: “The simple way of life always appealed to me.

My dad used to tell us stories about his early years on a farm with no electricity. I was always saying to him, ‘Dad, tell us the story about when you were a little boy. Tell us about the time the butter churn exploded.’

My father was the kind of guy who would lean on a fence post and chat with neighbours. He took a real interest in people.”

Her Dad, - Roy Bonisteel - was an icon in the heyday of Canadian TV, the host of CBC’s long-running Man Alive.

Lesley Bonisteel was born in St .Catharines: “My parents met at a local radio station where dad worked and my mum wrote commercials.”

When Leslie was 10 years old, the Bonisteels moved to Trenton where her father was born: “I attended Batawa and Frankford Public Schools,

then Bayside High. Instead of college, I got married and had a bunch of kids.

I home-schooled all of my children (kind of like pioneering.)”

Ten years ago, she and husband Brian Weston, moved back to the 50 acre Bonisteel property and built a home across the street from the 140-year-old Johnstown United Church: “The church closed in 1972 and sat empty for close to 20 years,” said Lesley. “It was in rough shape, and Dad was approached to see if he might want to keep it standing, and he did.

We renovated, and held family Christmas and News Years parties there.

Dad loved the old church. When Brian and I decided to buy it, Dad was thrilled. We started with some spoken word events, and Dad did some storytelling of his growing up here. We had full houses.”

Lesley and Brian share a love of music. After buying the church, the couple dove into the substantial project of resurrecting it as a performance venue. What a visually incredible jewel of joyful intimacy it is, the likes of which you will rarely see in

a pastoral setting: Oak floor, cushioned seats, chapel ceiling with crystal chandeliers, and a grand fireplace: “One of the nicest things about this place, is that it is a legacy of my dad who passed away four years ago. He loved what we started doing here. He said that it was now more community than it had ever been.”

The Old Church Theatre is a performer’s dream emporium. Bonisteel gets daily calls from musicians who want to play in its inspiring atmosphere: “People say what a special place we have here, with great sound and so comfortable (it seats only 60.) I love the variety of acts we stage and how we change the room around depending on the type of show. Its ambiance is like a green room with the audience being a part of the whole thing be-

New MRI at BGH resonates with radiologists and patients

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – Dr. Emma Robinson is many things.

She’s the medical director of diagnostic imaging for Quinte Health Care and a decorated Canadian Olympian, having won medals in rowing at the Atlanta and Sydney Games.

But the word that might best describe her now is “detective,” she admitted to a packed room at Belleville General Hospital Thursday, where donors had gathered for a fundraising launch.

While a classic detective might need a tool like a magnifying glass, her tools are x-rays and the new MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine at the BGH. She receives information from patients, and then uses these tools to find out what the problem is, no matter how unobvious and difficult it is to detect.

“That’s what excites me,” she said. “That’s what gets me to work.”

Robinson’s speech, as part of the Belleville General Hospital Foundation’s Cutting Edge series, was to thank donors for their contributions and show them how donor-funded technology, such as the new MRI and its software, are improving the care patients receive.

She showed examples of images taken from patients who visited the MRI and compared images taken before and after new advanced software was installed for the MRI. The earlier images were blurry (patients used to be asked to hold their breath, as movement could make the image unclear).

Now, undergoing an MRI is easier on the patients and image quality is better.

Robinson showed how the MRI can detect areas of the brain, leg or spine where something is amiss. A grey spot on a person’s brain scan may help doctors realize there’s a tumour that must be treated immediately.

Also, a small change in colour on an image of a leg may indicate a micro-fracture; something that’s difficult to detect in a typical x-ray but could lead to a lot of pain.

This technology is great for someone who enjoys detective work.

Robinson shared the story of instructors in her medical skill giving students Where’s Waldo books to look at and asking them to work together to find Waldo.

The lesson served as a reminder that a radiologist’s job is to look for one small object

in a huge image full of information.

But the MRI technology is ultimately about making a better experience for patients, she said.

The images that the MRI machine today generates are much sharper and developed quicker. That means patients are in and out of the hospital and on the road to recovery quicker.

An audience member asked Robinson if today’s hospital technology is so great that radiologists, such as her, may one day be obsolete. “I think I’ll still have a job in 10 years,” she said, grinning.

While it’s true that software used with MRI machines today is so sophisticated it can make an image and “flag” certain areas to look at, Robinson believes the role of a medical professional will never be obsolete. A doctor must look at the image the technology generates and speak with and listen to the patient to draw a conclusion on how best to treat the issue. “I doubt it will eliminate me,” she said.

cause you are not far away from the stage.”

Bonisteel is currently directing a play, one of many to be presented at the Old Church Theatre. She also hosts Open Mic Nite every first and third Wednesday of the month. Once a month, Cogeco films Live is Where it Lives on location with musical guests, and televised on Quinte Cogeco. Many paintings by local artists are regularly on display for admiration and purchase.

More people are getting to know the Old Church Theatre: “On cold

winter days, on some Sunday afternoons, we light the fireplace. I would like people to know that it is worth coming here to see some unique acts, and make new friends in a top notch entertainment environment.”

After a long pause, the elegant and approachable lady who always wanted to be a pioneer, looks up at the ceiling and adds, “My father’s spirit is here all the time. We feel it at every show.”

The Old Church Theatre is located at 940 Bonisteel Road in Trenton.

Trenton — Fire prevention is serious business but learning about it was fun for families at the Quinte West Fire Department’s open house on Saturday Oct. 14.

Given their own red plastic fire helmets, children learned to use fire extinguishers on a live fire during the event and were given tours of fire trucks at station one, 165 Front St. Anne Marie Murray brought her grandchildren out to the event and said she loved it.

“It’s good for me because I’m actually raising my grandchildren, so I want to try to get them totally prepared and hopefully this will give them insight on what to do when we are in a situation,” she said.

Murray’s five-year-old granddaughter was particularly excited to get a look at what the open house had to offer.

“Nevaeh wants to be a fire woman, she said she wants to put out fires and rescue people in the houses when houses are burning down,” said Murray. “I think they

should have this more than once a year and I’m hoping lots of parents bring their kids out.”

The open house was the final event for this year’s fire prevention week.

Sarah Scott, fire prevention officer with the Quinte West Fire Department, said more than 400 people attended the open house, which was a great turnout.

“It’s been busier than I’ve ever seen it,” she said. “The hands on is great for the kids, they get to tour all of the trucks, we have bunker gear they get to try on, it’s been great.”

Having the seven fire stations promoting fire prevention week has been great, said Scott, with firefighters going door to door to check fire alarms and doing presentations at public schools to educate youth on fire safety.

This year’s fire prevention week theme was “Every Second Counts — Plan 2 Ways Out,” to better educate the public about the critical importance of developing a home escape plan and practicing it.

In a typical home fire, you may

have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. That’s why home escape planning is so critical in a fire situation. It ensures that everyone in the household knows how to use that small window of time wisely, said Scott.

“Developing and practicing a home escape plan is like building muscle memory,” said fire Chief John Whelan. “That pre-planning is what everyone will draw upon to snap into action and escape as quickly as possible in the event of a fire.”

Quinte West Fire Rescue is working to reinforce those potentially life-saving messages.

Deputy Chief Dan Smith would like to remind everyone that “Home escape planning is one of the most basic but fundamental elements of home fire safety, and can truly make the difference between life and death in a fire situation.”

In support of Fire Prevention Week, Quinte West Fire/Rescue encourages all households to develop a plan together and practice it.

More than 600 Sears employees in Belleville expected to lose jobs

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – More than 600 Sears employees in Belleville are expected to be out of work in the coming weeks, as the retailer has been granted court approval to go out of business.

On Tuesday, Oct. 10 Sears Canada announced it and its subsidiaries (the Sears Canada Group) would apply to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for approval to liquidate its remaining stores and assets. The court heard and approved the motion on Oct. 13, a move that means about 12,000 Sears employees across the country will eventually lose their jobs.

The impact will be felt significantly in Belleville where a Sears distribution centre has been a major employer for generations.

The liquidation process will impact 597 people currently at the College Street East plant, of which 302 are full-time employees and 295 are parttimers.

It will also impact those at the Sears store at the Quinte Mall, which employs 60 people; 16 full-timers and 44 part-timers.

These numbers were provided to the Belleville News by an official close to the company, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Not all employees will lose right away. The liquidation process – which will likely involve going-out-of-busi-

ness-like sale prices on goods – is expected to start Oct. 19 and finish no later than Jan. 21.

“The company is trying to do whatever it can to help with the transition (for employees),” the source said.

“They’ll do what they can, where they can, when they can.”

Belleville’s economic development manager Karen Poste said the company’s closure is sombre news.

In an interview before Friday’s court decision, she said she was hoping something would happen to allow Sears to stay afloat. But “if it doesn’t we’re prepared to help those employees prepare for new jobs,” she said.

The city has worked to help laid off Sears employees before. In January 2014, the retailer laid off more than 500 employees who worked out of a call centre at the College Street East plant.

Soon after that announcement, Poste and her team set up a career fair at the plant that was, specifically, for those laid off employees. The company allowed employees who were still working to take time out of their day to attend. It was a successful event Poste said, and she imagines a similar event could happen again, given that the city has a good working relationship with Sears.

While Poste acknowledged it’s never a good time to lose a job, she said

that the job market in the Quinte region is as strong as it’s ever been in recent memory, so she’s optimistic many laid off workers will find work again.

A career fair Belleville and Quinte West hosted on Oct. 4 drew more than 50 employers, who, collectively, were looking to fill about 1,000 jobs. Yet, there were only about 400 job seekers that day.

Still, losing Sears will hit the community hard, she said.

“Any time an employer closes, faces hard times or lays off, it’s hard emotionally for the community,” she said. “It hits everybody hard, whether you’re directly impacted or not.

“It’s one of the toughest things for a community to deal with. But Belleville has faced several large closures before and we’ve always come out stronger.”

Prince Edward-Hastings Member of Provincial Parliament Todd Smith weighed in on the news Wednesday, Oct. 11 by issuing a statement to show support for laid off workers in Belleville.

He said he would write to Ontario’s economic development minister, Brad Duguid, to ensure sufficient supports are made available by the Ontario government to assist in job searches and retraining for Sears employees now looking for work.

“At this time, our hearts go out to the families that will be most affected by this news,” Smith said.

“Workers who have dedicated years of their lives

to the company need to be assisted going forward. Recent concerns raised about the Sears pension plan and hardship fund need to be addressed in order to ensure that commitments made to long-time Sears employees are honoured.

“We are a resilient community but we are also a compassionate community. At this time, many of us will have friends, neighbours and family members who will need to lean on us. We have many great local businesses that I know will step up to fill the hole that

this leaves in our community. In the meantime, my office will be there to support all those affected.”

The Canadian Mental Health Association Hastings and Prince Edward Branch is also reaching out to impacted Sears employees.

Starting Nov. 4, from 10 a.m. to noon, all Sears employees are invited to drop in for coffee, conversation and care out its Hope Centre, at 41 Octavia St. in Belleville.

Staff will be there to listen, support and provide resources for those struggling with anxiety over a job loss.

It appeared to be business as usual at both Sears locations in Belleville on Wednesday, Oct. 11, just hours after the grim announcement.

Several vehicles were in the parking lot of the distribution centre and trucks and buses moved in and out as usual.

A healthy number of customers were shopping at the Quinte Mall Sears store in the afternoon, where several “clearance” racks were set up. An attempt to speak to employees at the store was quickly th thwarted by a manager who asked the Belleville News to leave “immediately.”

G-Hawks improve win streak over Stouffville and Buffalo

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — The Trenton Golden Hawks now have four straight wins after another two victories over the weekend against Stouffville and Buffalo.

The G-Hawks played the Stouffville Spirit for the second time in one week on Friday (Oct. 13) night at the Trenton arena.

Instead of another close victory, the Hawks improved on their offensive performance with a 7-2 victory.

“It was nice to see us score some goals,” said head coach Marty Abrams. “I thought we did a good job from start to finish and played a complete 60 minutes.”

Trenton led 3-1 after the first period with goals from Michael Silveri, Rex Moe and Caleb Boman.

Moe scored his second goal of the game on the power play at the begin-

ning of the second period and Gage Stephney finished the period with a goal, bringing the game to 5-2 for the Hawks.

Max Ewart and Silveri scored the last two goals of the game in the third period, ending the game 7-2 for the Hawks.

The Hawks travelled across the boarder to face the Buffalo Jr. Sabres on Sunday, Oct. 15.

Newcomer Shawn Bily scored his first two goals with the G-Hawks, opening the game with a power-play goal five minutes into the first period.

Jake Behse scored the team’s second goal in the second period to even the score out 2-2 going into the third.

Ewart scored the game winner unassisted at 12:07 and Bily scored an unassisted goal on the empty net with two second to spare for a 4-2 win.

“It was nice to see Bily get into the line up and feel comfortable, he’s been very good the last couple of games,” said Abrams. “It was a really good road game for us, the guys battled through and we took quite a few penalties and our penalty kill was outstanding.”

It’s nice to be able to put some wins together, said Abrams.

“We still have lots of work to do, we know that there’s lot of room for improvement.”

The Hawks now sit at 7-5-1-0 this season. Coming up, the Hawks play two home games.

Trenton will host the Toronto Jr. Canadiens at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 18.

Newmarket will hit the road to visit Trenton on Friday, Oct. 20; game time is 7:30 p.m.

College faculty strike cancels classes, causes worry at Loyalist College

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Editor’s note: as of press time Tuesday morning, the College Employer Council and the Ontario Public Service Employee Union failed to reach an agreement.

Belleville – A long line of cars were backed up from the Loyalist College entrance at Loyalist-Wallbridge Road on Monday morning.

At and beyond the entrance, people were hoping the strike that was snarling traffic wouldn’t go on for long.

Dozens of Loyalist faculty members were on the picket line early Monday morning after the province-wide College Employer Council and the Ontario Public Service Employee Union failed to reach an agreement by a midnight deadline.

Talks between the two groups broke down Tuesday, Oct. 10 and in the first hours of the strike there were no signs of plans to get back to the bargaining table.

As of Monday morning, more than 12,000 college instructors across Ontario were on strike and classes were cancelled indefinitely at 24 diploma granting institutions, including Loyalist.

The pickets at Loyalist were only slowly allowing vehicles onto the grounds of the college early Monday, creating a log jam of cars at Loyalist-Wallbridge Road that backed up past the Moira Street off ramp.

Around 9:30 p.m., Belleville Police dropped by to encourage the union to move things along quicker and Belleville Transit made alternative routes for people to access the college.

OPSEU pickets stops vehicles on their way into Loyalist College on Monday, Oct. 16, the first day of a college faculty strike.

“It’s not fun, it’s stressful,” said one striking faculty member, who did not give her name, as dozens of cars waited in line to get it. “Our students want to be in classes. And I want to be teaching.”

Eric Bauer, the president of OPSEU Local 420, which represents the striking Loyalist faculty members, said he hopes the strike

won’t go long, but he blamed the Employer Council for the lack of progress.

“Our teams stands at the ready to have that discussion at any point in time. I wish we had two sides at the table,” said Bauer, dressed warmly with a black toque to protect himself from the chilly fall wind.

There are several reasons why faculty mem-

Choice

bers are on strike, but the biggest reason is the shift of the Employer Council in recent years to hire few full-time instructors, leaving programs to be taught mostly by part-time employees, Bauer said.

There are also issues related to “parity in academic decision making” and “ fairness for contract faculty,” he added.

“The Employer Council has consistently returned to spinning a position about money,” he said. “That’s not been our issue.”

He acknowledged that there’s a perception that college faculty are paid large sums per hour – anything between $48 and $140 ¬– but those rates don’t reflect the full scope of work, he said.

The wage is dictated by the amount of time in front of students and doesn’t reflect preparation time or helping students individually.

With those elements factored in, a college instructor’s wage is far less lucrative, he said.

When asked what he would tell his own students about the strike – Bauer teaches in the environmental department – he said, “as tragic as this is when faculty are on strike, it’s about attempting to get an employer to recognize the effort that’s underway to make the system better.

“We can’t do any work. We must withhold the service we have to compel the employer to negotiate.”

Inside the college on Monday morning, students who spoke to the Belleville News were indifferent about the situation; they just wanted to see the strike resolved so their classes could resume.

Faculty strike continued “It’s pretty upsetting,” said Jairus Leeson, a second-year student in Loyalist’s TV and New Media program. He was huddled with several classmates in the college’s cafeteria. They had come in to discuss how to proceed with major projects they’re working on, without the support of instructors. “In second year, our workload is pretty significant. Getting feedback is crucial,” Leeson added.

He said his instructors spoke to students before the strike. They told them a contingency plan is in place so that students can still meet their learning goals, assuming the strike doesn’t last long. But the uncertainty, makes things difficult.

“It’s paranoia,” he said. “I don’t know how long this will last. It could be two, three weeks.”

Film and television production student Ernest Gearing expressed similar concerns.

“I guess a lot of our projects we can still work on, technically,” he said. “But I like having the input of the faculty. That’s what you pay for. I want them back, but there’s nothing I can do.”

Details from Loyalist College officials were minimal. A phone call to the college’s communications team requesting comment was returned with an email to a link on the college’s website with information to for students on labour negotiations updates.

The note, signed by senior vice president Ann Drennan, said the college will remain open, but no regular daytime classes will be held for post-secondary or apprenticeship programs. Some online courses and Continuing Education classes will continue.

“We will continue to offer Student Success services, Student Success Mentors, Peer Tutoring, Athletics and Campus Life, Student Life, Career Centre and facilities like labs and study areas.

During this time, we encourage you to catch up on work, complete homework assignments, review difficult material as well as continue with your textbook readings and research projects.

“Please be assured that contingency plans are in place for you to complete your studies. No Ontario college student has ever lost a year because of a strike.”

Grannies for Africa host loving event Nov. 4

Canadian grandmothers have been at the forefront of fundraising efforts for the orphaned children of Africa, left behind by the AIDS epidemic there, and the local chapter is holding a special event in November to highlight the effort.

Working with the Stephen Lewis Foundation, Canadian grandmothers have raised more than $25 million to support African grandmothers and the grassroots organizations working at the frontlines of the AIDS pandemic through the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign.

Now for the first time, the story of these indomitable women has been documented in a new book, entitled Powered by Love: A Grandmothers’ Movement to End AIDS in Africa, published by Goose Lane Editions. Author Joanna Henry and photographer Alexis MacDonald visited eight African countries, interviewing and photographing hundreds of grandmothers (including Sarah Obama, Barack Obama’s grandmother) who, with the sup-

port of their sisters in Canada and now around the world, are raising their grandchildren and rebuilding their communities.

Quinte Grannies for Africa will be hosting a launch of Powered by Love on Thursday Nov. 2 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Loyalist College, Alumni Hall, 376 WallbridgeLoyalist Road, Belleville. Guest speakers will include Alexis MacDonald: Photographer for the book and Director of External Relations

at the Stephen Lewis Foundation, Nompumelelo Gladys Mayaba: Grandmother with Grandmothers Against Poverty & AIDS (GAPA), Siseko Mkalipi: Executive Director of Grandmothers Against Poverty & AIDS (GAPA), This event is free and open to the public.

All royalties from sales of Powered by Love will be directed to the Stephen Lewis Foundation to support organizations run by and for African grandmothers who are raising children orphaned by AIDS. Quinte Grannies for Africa has been in existence since October 2006. By the end of 2016, local grandmothers raised close to $ 300,000. They take their slogan ‘We will not rest `til they can rest’ very serious.

For more information on the event contact Mieke Thorne at 613969-1782 or email miekethorne@ cogeco.ca For more information on the Grandmothers’ Movement to end AIDS in Africa, visit GrandmothersPoweredbyLove.com.

After hours homeless service assumed by CMHA

BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County Community and Human Services Committee is recommending a bid by the local Canadian Mental Health Association to take over after-hours services for the homelessness program. The change takes place Jan. 1.

The county’s human services director Erin Rivers noted that the local Red Cross, which had been providing the service, served notice of termination of that role last May as it no longer fit the organization’s mandate. The department then issued a request for proposals to maintain the same services, staffing a call desk for referrals and placements from 4:30 p.m. through 8:30 a.m., including weekends and holidays. Funding, at $69,000, is provided by the province.

Commenting further, Rivers said she is “very excited.

The Mental Health group has the ex-

pertise and capability and shares many services with our agency. They are also equipped to deal directly with the homelessness issue, not just the crises.”

Sandie Sidsworth, executive director of the Prince Edward-Hastings branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association, shared Rivers’ excitement. But she stressed the additional $69,000 funding is by no means a “windfall” for the agency.

“But, it might help us place more people in desperate need,” she added.

She also explained that finding adequate housing remains one of her agency’s prime activities.

“There are many reasons for homelessness,” she said, and the stress involved with those in that situation often is closely related to mental health issues.

“We help provide shelter for the homeless during regular working hours, so it is just an extension to after 4:30 and on weekends and holi-

days,” Sidsworth said. of affordable housing.”

The difficulty is, she addSidsworth said the ed, “There is such a lack county’s move to act on

a provincial program to create a major new shelter project is a godsend, but more is needed. “I really don’t see much light at the end of the tunnel right now,” she said, noting that finding adequate funding to keep the agency operational is a major challenge. There is no guaranteed funding source from any federal or provincial government.

“We rely on the Trillium and Parrott foundations, the county and the United Way mainly” she said, to support a staff of 11 and operate four separate programs. “We see about 800 people a month with various problems.”

For the new after-hours homeless referral service, full and part-time staff will be in place and ready to go at one minute after midnight on Dec. 31, when the handover from Red Cross begins.

Also recommended by the committee was taking part in a National Housing Day activity on Nov. 16.

The committee also approved the first major proposal under the new Ontario Early |Years Child and Family Centre – a unique centre to involve the Algonquin community in the Maynooth area. The new centre will use Maynooth Public School, where special classes for aboriginal children have already been part of the school’s program.

In essence, the program will provide for families to access relevant, culturally-sensitive programs and services, help protect the endangered Algonquin language and culture, creating a multicultural hub. The approved submission notes that while the Algonquin territory, still non-ceded, spans a huge swath of central Ontario, including Ottawa, Maynooth is actually in the middle of it and has a strong residual Algonquin population, compared to most of Ontario.

TRAVEL

WWII sub moored at Maritime Museum at Manitowoc had to actually volunteer for this dangerous assignment, for it had the highest mortality rate of any branch of the military during WWII. I also learned that the majority of the time was spent in rather dull, very routine situations, but then would come that sudden adrenaline-rush of danger. It was summarized on the museum wall in the following way: “90%boredom and 10% terror”!

I was also able to stroll through a reconstructed street of an historic Great Lakes port, step into the engine room of a Great Lakes ship from the early 1900s, see the inner workings of a torpedo, scan the harbour through a telescope, view a collection of remarkable fish carvings, and check out the Suspect Species Investigation Lab (where invasive species impacted the ecosystems of the Great Lakes). Furthermore, in the museum’s Model Ship Gallery, I was able to see several scale models of former Great Lakes sailing ships and freighters. I also learned about Lake Michigan car ferries that were used to transport passengers and railroad cars between ports – even through the storms of winter! I also saw a diorama featuring the Edmund Fitzgerald, lying within the depths of Lake Superior (and this reminded me of a previous visit of mine to Michigan’s Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, where I heard a recording of our very own EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO Gordon Lightfoot singing “The EXCELLENCE Wreck of the Edmund FitzgerPumpkinferno - Upper Canada Village ......................................

BY JOHN M. SMITH

On my most recent visit to Wisconsin, I found a unique and very worthwhile destination for an exploration of the Great Lakes maritime history. After all, the Wisconsin Maritime Museum, located along the shoreline of Lake Michigan, at Manitowoc, is the largest maritime museum in the Midwest, and it’s a Smithsonian Affiliate. It’s also home to the USS Cobia, the best preserved WWII submarine in the entire nation.

While in the museum itself, I was able to partake in a “Submarine Simulation Experience”, and this gave me a better understanding of what it would feel like to submerge.

Also, an actual WWII battle from the USS Cobia’s War Patrol log was recreated. This made me think about how claustrophobic and trapped the crew must have felt as they worked and travelled beneath the water’s surface, never certain that they would ever reemerge to safety. I learned that all the crew

continue on, via Lake Michigan, to this particular destination. Also, in the Little Lakefarer’s Room, children could look through a periscope, read books about the Great Lakes, and play maritime games.

When I was about to leave the museum itself, I picked up a card of a particular crew member of the USS Cobia (conveniently on display) – so that I could learn about his duties on board the submarine. After all, I was about to tour the actual submarine, so having this information would help me to better understand what the role of that individual was on this wartime vessel.

As educational as I’d found the museum that I’ve been describing, the tour of the submarine itself was even more fascinating. I descended the stairs and entered inside the submarine, and I soon discovered that this was not a job or accommodations that I would enjoy at all! The halls were narrow, so I felt cramped; the doorways were very tiny and, therefore, difficult for a tall person to maneuver through. It was hard to imagine this small space being occupied by 80

crew members and officers! I was told that the average temperature down here would be about 90F/32C, so it was not a particularly comfortable work environment. I saw the officers’ barracks, the office area, the control room, and the dining room. I then discovered that there were only 4 bathrooms, and these were worked by a series of rather complicated levers. There were also a few showers – but not enough for daily showers for all!

Indeed, I was certainly relieved when we got back out of there! The joy of fresh air and dry land!

As I returned to the museum, I was told that some adventurers even pay extra to spend the night inside that submarine. I was glad that I’d experienced the submarine tour, but that was enough sub life for me!

The Wisconsin Maritime Museum at Manitowoc was definitely worth checking out – and I’m pleased that I visited.

“Our Town” a delightfully different type of theatre

BY JACK EVANS

Imagine a small town about the size of Stirling and transplant it to rural New Hampshire. It would not be much different, especially in the early years of the 20th century.

The Belleviille Theatre Guild’s current offering, “Our Town,” a Pulitzer prize winning full-length play by Thornton Wilder could ring true to any of the small towns across the Quinte area. Wilder’s goal was not to focus on geography, but on life – ordinary life as lived by ordinary citizens in an ordinary community.

This writer contends that for a show that has such a large cast and finding an ensemble that captures every nuance of the many characters and their interaction is a rare feat.

Most of the credit can go to director Ian Feltham, who obviously knew exactly what he was looking for and managed to raid the guild’s immense talent stable to find it. From child actors to love-struck teenagers to doting parents to senior citizens, every line and role rings true.

Audiences might be surprised at the lack of props and sets, but that is precisely what Wilder envisioned and this cast delivers it.

Holding it all together is veteran actor Bill Petch who is the stage manager of a theatre, acting as ringmaster, introducing the town and its denizens and locations and directing them when to come on and go off. Young boys deliver newspapers; the editor of the local weekly seeks story ideas; a hard-working doctor delivers babies and heals sick bodies; a

“Our Town” scene – left to right, young lovers George Gibbs, played by Josh Lambert and Emily Webb, played by Skylar Pierson, flirt across their neighbouring windows while their respective mothers, Jana Busse, left and Kayla Alexandropoulos are below. Dianna Purchase as Mrs.Soames is in the middle.

Submitted photo by Greg Pinchin

wise police officer keeps his eye on the young people without punishment; knowing mothers coach their daughters in life’s mysteries.

At the end, there is a graveyard where most

of the characters, young and old, sit stolidly, wondering whether anyone living really understands the magical beauty of life, to which the Stage Manager replies, “Hardly anyone.

Quantities are limited, while supplies last.

Maybe a few poets and artists.” The graveyard scene does not imply tragedy, only reality. There are also a few good chuckles along the way.

The setting faithfully created on stage is the years spanning 1901 at the outset to 1913 at the end. The cast was so polished that in recognition of their collective effort, the names of the key characters at least, should be named: Gerry Fraiberg as Dr. Gibbs; Jana Busse as Mrs. Gibbs; Peter Wood as newspaper editor Wally Webb and Kayla Alexandropoulos as Mrs. Webb; playing the Dr. Gibbs children are wannabe farmer George,

by Josh Lambert and younger sister Rebecca

by Tayva Mestre ; Skylar Pierson is the Webb daughter, and her brother is Kael Mestre; Mo Leslie plays both the dry professor for a history lesson and the alcoholic church musician; Enno Busse plays the kind-hearted police officer. Dianna Purchase plays the neighbourhood busybody with something to say for every occasion. Several characters play more than one role. But all play it to the heart from the milkman with his imaginary horse to the undertaker and audience participants.

Sound effects are marvellous, from an early morning rooster crowing, to a train whistle to the milkman’s horse and bottle clanging.

This may not be theatre that you are used to, but audiences are responding warmly.

The show continues through Oct.28. For tickets or information, call the Box Office, (613) 967-1442. The box office opens at 3 p.m. week days.

Take it Outside

Backyard fire all good if you plan properly

By Carson Arthur At this time of the year, one of the most popular additions to the backyard is the outdoor fire pit with seating around it.

Having an area for entertaining that is separate to the patio table has been featured in magazines, websites and all types of social media. Even the designs that I’ve been doing for homes in downtown areas seem to always include high-end wood or gas burning fixtures. Also consider that many homeowners aren’t quite ready to give up on outdoor entertaining. By adding a beautiful heat source, being outside by the fire in October is not such a bad idea!

So it makes perfect sense to highlight some of the things you may not have thought about when setting up your own backyard hearth.

Before you go any further in exploring if an outdoor fireplace is right for you, check your municipal bylaws. Some areas ban outdoor burning altogether. Others allow outdoor fireplaces, but regulate the smoke to ensure that your neighbours are not disturbed.

Some municipalities require

that grills be in place so that these fire pits fall under barbeque laws. Just because a store in your area sells you a fireplace doesn’t mean that you can actually use it. Make sure to go online to check the bylaws for your area or stop in at the municipal offices to ask.

If however you’re like me and love the smell of burning wood, the sound of crackling logs and can spend hours watching flames and coals, then there is nothing like an outdoor wood-burning fireplace.

That said, burning wood always comes with lots of risks and rewards. Live fires are unpredictable and as a result, can be dangerous if not handled properly. While the

size of the fire is smaller than a burn-pile, local fire permits may also be applied to your home if you are planning a wood-burning fire pit.

When it comes to fire safety, make sure that you allow for at least 6ft. of space between the edge of the fireplace and the chairs. This may seem like a lot given that most people like to sit closer to the fire than 6’. The reality is that sparks can easily fly from natural burning fires and people may need to move backwards in a hurry. If you don’t have sufficient clearance, choosing a natural gas or propane option would be a safer solution.

If you do go with wood burning, then make sure you have either a source of water or a fire extinguisher nearby.

Also consider where the best spot is for you fire pit and what surface it is going on. The best surface solution is always stone. Whether its manmade pavers, natural flag-

stone or even gravel, stone is perfect for dispersing heat or flying sparks. I have created fireplaces on wood decks but I always make sure that the area under and around the fire pit is either gravel or concrete to help diffuse the heat and to prevent any sparks from landing on wood. When it comes to locations, wood-burning fire pits need to be away from the house. Smoke always seems to get into open windows or patio doors. Also choose a spot that is away from large trees or anything that is burnable.

Even patio umbrellas can be a hazard if they are to close to the fire and the wind direction changes.

Having an outdoor fireplace can be an amazing way to spend a summer night or even host an après ski party.

Just make sure you do a little research first, you don’t want to spend money on a feature that you can’t actually use.

Middleton murder accused deported from Bermuda Bermuda - One of two men jailed and later cleared in a case of judicial procedure gone horribly wrong in the 1996 death of Belleville teen Rebecca Middleton in Bermuda has been deported from the island nation to his native Jamaica.

Bermuda’s The Royal Gazette reported Kirk Mundy was transported from federal prison in Bermuda to Jamaica by private jet on Oct. 4.

Becky Middleton was visiting a friend she knew from Belleville when the friend and her father, Rick Meens, lived in Belleville. The two girls were out for an evening and met Mundy and later co-accused Justis Smith. Evidence said the pair accepted rides from the men on scooters, but got separated. Becky, who was 17 at the time, was later brutally raped and murdered and her body was found by the roadside at remote Ferry Reach, near the island’s airport, in the early hours of July 3, 1996.

According to reports in the Royal Gazette, Mun-

dy was sentenced to five years behind bars in 1996 after he pleaded guilty to a charge of being an accessory to the murder of Middleton.

His co-accused, Smith, was cleared after then Justice Vincent Meerabux threw out the case against him. A later bid to try both Mundy and Smith for the murder, after new forensic evidence was uncovered, failed because Britain’s Privy council, in 1998, ruled that the case could not go ahead as it would be seen as re-trying the case on the same facts as the earlier acquittals. The Privy Council also ruled that Meerabux’s decision on Smith could not be overturned.

The handling of the case, particularly the failure to reopen proceedings against the two suspects, caused outrage in Bermuda and overseas.

Human rights lawyer Cherie Booth, the wife of former British prime minister Tony Blair, called the case “a terrible, terrible story — one that no family

Packed lineup at Old Church Theatre

Monday October 23 brings Roxanne de Bastion to the stage at Old Church Theatre on Bonisteel Road, Quinte West.

Submitted photo.

Quinte West - The Old Church Theatre is bringing a jam-packed line up of entertainment this week.

Part 2 of the One Act play festival, ‘Sharpen the Acts,’ begins with three new plays on Thursday October 19 and Friday October 20 with both shows at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee on Sunday October 22 at 2p.m.

Part 1 was held this past summer to sellout audiences at each performance.

Improv musical trio, the Three Martinis appear Saturday October 21 at 7:30 p.m.

Dan Fewings and Rob Phillips have been ‘making it up on the spot’ as the Three Martinis for more than three years now and kept their audiences laughing and always coming back for more. Phillips, a wellknown jazz pianist and former Second City music director, tickles the keys with amazing musicality and creativity. Fewings on the other hand seems to channel the likes of Jackie Gleason, John Candy with a side of Groucho Marx. The Third Martini is always a surprise – a bass player, a guitarist or a drummer completes this improvisational, music comedy trio. This time it’s part of the Old Church family, Howard Baer on the upright bass.

The Martinis handcraft their songs specific to each audience. They cajole the audience into writing titles for songs never before written and then before your eyes, with no tricks or mirrors they write those songs, music and all. It’s truly a must see performance.

Campbellford residents react to Mayor Hector Macmillan’s death

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — Speaking to people on the streets of Campbellford a couple of days following news of the death of Trent Hills’ Mayor Hector Macmillan, the comments were universally of one mind - Hec will be missed.

Frank Vaughan, past president of the Campbellford Farmer’s Market: “For my part Hector was always good to me.

As long as I was involved in the farmer’s market he was good to the farmer’s market. I found him to be somebody you could be direct with. You could argue with him and he could still respect you at the end of the day. Whether or not you love him or hate him a man who can get a plurality of the vote for 20 odd years ... that’s remarkable.”

Ron (and wife Sylvia) Rundle: “He put up a good fight. He’s been there a long time as mayor. He’s going to be missed.”

Ken Dehne owner of Ken’s Stereo and TV “He’s a good friend. Probably the best mayor we’ve ever had. In terms of a legacy he’s done so much for this community. He cared about everybody in this community ... not even himself, it was never about himself.”

Getting emotional Dehne added, “I visited him about 10 days ago so I knew he wasn’t doing well,” adding, “Sandy (wife) is a very good friend of mine, her parents took me in as a kid” Tom and Rose-Marie Kerr of Kerr’s Corner Books: “Hector and I sparred a lot over the years. We didn’t always see eye to eye but I genuinely believe that Hector was for the town,” said Tom Kerr.

Rose-Marie Kerr added, “We really really wish the family the very deepest of condolences and hope that they find their way to some peace. They have been through a lot. He will be a mayor that served a number of terms well supported by the constituents and he will never be forgotten.”

Brenda Tucker, manager of Gunn Johnston Card and Gifts: “I feel Hector was a role model to so many other people that have his disease. He fought it and he did a great job and he tried to help other people. The impact to our community is so strong. Yes it is important to his family but for the people in the community so many people looked up to Hector and are going to miss him.”

Commenting on those who had disagreements with the mayor, he added, “That’s politics, you can’t escape that. We went to school together from kindergarten up through the grades so I know him on a personal level. I think he would have been elected again if he ran for mayor.

There’s no question. He will be missed.”

Martha Murphy, executive director, Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation: “One of our fondest memories was the collaboration with the municipality, led by the mayor, to build three playgrounds in Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth on the same day, with over 300 volunteers. With grandson in tow, HecTom Sharpe of Sharpe’s Food Market: tor was so very proud of the members of our “We feel sad ... he has grandchildren and he community, who came together on that rainy day did Relay for Life. He’s done a very good job to build three unique playgrounds. We wrapped as mayor. Most people I know speak fondly of up the day with a Hector-style barbecue at the him.”

Warkworth Legion to celebrate, it was a very spe-

cial day.”

Donna Bennett, co-founder and marketing director Westben: “I am very sorry to hear of Hector's passing.

We grew up in Campbellford together and I always felt that Hector believed in the possibilities and potential for Trent Hills. Hector worked hard for what he thought would benefit the community and he did so with great passion. I am grateful for the support that Hector gave to create the Clock Tower Cultural Centre to develop a hub of arts in the centre of Campbellford. “

Cathy Beamish, president Rotary Club of Campbellford: “On behalf of the Rotary Club of Campbellford I would like to send our condolences to Sandy and family. Hector will be missed for his passion and dedication to the community of Trent Hills.”

Those on social assistance will see 2% raise in pay

BY JACK EVANS

Recipients of social assistance in Ontario can look forward to a modest raise this month. New payment rates and other benefit increases announced earlier by the province are supposed to phase in during October.

This year’s increase will be two per cent, which will apply to temporary care assistance, adults living with parents, dependents with dependents rates, advanced age allowance , remote communities allowance, personal needs allowance, special boarder allowance and guide dog benefits. \ The raise for a single person on Ontario Works should translate into $14 a month, said Erin Rivers, director for Hastings County. She also noted that as of Jan. 1 2018, the local portion for welfare will be completely covered by the province.

Other improvements Rivers report-

ed include increases to asset limits so people can retain more of their savings or liquid assets starting Jan.1. Limits will go from $2,500 for single persons to $10,000 and to $15,000 for couples plus $500 for each subsequent family member.

Cash gifts exemptions will go to $10,000 from $6,000.

Rivers said her department’s staff “will continue to monitor” these developments and report back to the committee as required.

The regional Community and Family Services Department is now placing new signs designed by staff members. Department director Erin Rivers is shown here with committee chair, Coun. Garnet Thompson of Belleville assists her is displaying the sign sample to the committee.

Donna Nelham and Paul Tremlett are the owners of a new Driverseat franchise, serving the Belleville, Trenton and Prince Edward County regions.

Stephen Petrick/Metroland

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – The transportation industry is changing – and a new Quinte-area business is steering it along.

Owners of a new Driverseat franchise for the region held a business launch event outside the Belleville Chamber log cabin on Moira Street on Thursday, Oct. 12.

The business helps customers get themselves and their vehicles home safely. The local franchise is owned by husband-wife duo Donna Nelham and Paul Tremlett.

The couple also opened a Driverseat franchise for the Kingston area days earlier.

They hope the business will contribute to a reduction of impaired driving instances.

“We didn’t want to do just anything,” said Nelham. “We wanted to do something with heart; something with a social purpose.”

Customers can call 613-900-5890 to access the service or visit driverseatinc.com and download the app.

The service has a flat rate minimum charge of $15 and an algorithm factoring in the time and distance of the trip deter-

mines the overall rate.

The business works by hiring coachmen or coachwomen to arrive at the location of the customer and drive them and their vehicle home. Those coachmen and women have “chasers” who help them move around from job to job.

Nelham likes the social angle of the business. She hopes people who are enjoying a night out and feel too tipsy to drive home themselves will call the service.

But the she stressed Driverseat can be used for a variety of other services. People can call if they need help getting kids to school, if they need help getting people home from business functions or even if they need transportation support for a fun event, like a wedding or wine tour.

She acknowledged that now is an interesting time for the transportation industry as new services, such as Uber, are changing the way people think about getting out and about, especially after hours.

She believes Driverseat, is a successful business that’s well equipped to embrace that change.

“It’s about giving people different options,” she said.
