Cancer looms over deaths of two Quinte West firefighters

By Erin Stewart

Trenton – A large funeral procession honoured the life of Quinte West firefighter Jason Forth in Trenton on Monday Oct. 17. The 43-year-died Tuesday Oct. 11 after battling cancer. It has been a difficult time for the Quinte West Fire Department as firefighters also mourned the death of volunteer firefighter Ron Globe at a service on Wednesday Oct. 12 after he too succumbed to cancer. Globe, a special constable with Belleville police, was 56 when he died of esophogeal cancer. “Both guys were excellent firefighters and served the community in many ways,” said Quinte West Fire Chief John Whelan. Forth died of multiple myeloma. He is survived by his wife Michelle and three children. Whelan said Globe, joined the Quinte West Fire Department at Station #2 Murray in 2011 as a volunteer and Whelan also worked with him during Whelan’s own years as a police officer in Bel-

age under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act. Previously, the government had added eight types of cancer — brain, bladder, kidney, esophageal, ureter and colorectal cancer, as well as nonHodgkin’s lymphoma and specific types of leukemia — to the list of presumably work-related diseases in 2007. The new additions followed seven years of lobbying by the Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association (OPFFA) to expand the number of diseases presumed workrelated in the sector. While the recognition by the province and the lobbying of firefighter associations for those recognitions have been a long struggle, for the firefighters of Quinte West losing two of their own in such a short period is a hard reminder of the hazards they all face in pursuing their career. “We are one big family and when we lose one of our members we are all in mourning,” said Whelan when asked about the impact of the deaths of brother firefighters.

The highlight of the G-Hawks’ Wildlife Week is their “Hockey for Harambe” night when the Hawks take on the Burlington Cougars at the Duncan McDonald Community Gardens in Trenton at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday Oct. 19. G-Hawks players will be wearing special commemorative Harambe jerseys during the warm-up and the jerseys will be auctioned off during The design for the Trenton golden Hawks’ commemorative Harambe jerseys. the game with all proceeds from the Photo submitted jerseys and Harambe t-shirts going to the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada. “I think with us teaming up with the Jane la, was shot and killed at the Cincinnati zoo “We felt Hockey for Harambe was the Goodall Institute of Canada it proves that in May after grabbing a three-year-old child best way to honour Harambe’s life and also we’re doing it for the right reason and to edu- who fell into his enclosure. bring awareness to the plight of the Lowland cate people on Lowland Gorillas, you know, The incident was recorded on video and Gorilla,” said Rob McDonald, director of why should his death be in vain?” he said. sparked controversy over whether it was the game day operations for the Trenton Golden Harambe, the 17-year-old Lowland Goril- right choice for a zoo worker to kill the goHawks.

The incident went viral online and became somewhat of an Internet sensation with people debating their opinions on the death, creating memes and hashtags on twitter including #GorillasLivesMatter. Singer Nicki Minaj even mentioned the gorilla in a song released in September. Popular online sports site, Barstool Sports, has championed Harambe, as well, in a variety of posts and events. Like Harambe, the G-Hawks have also garnered Internet exposure with their plans to honour Harambe, reaching more than 200,000 people on Twitter, more than 7,000 on Facebook and all major online sports media sites picking up the story, said McDonald. “The response has been overwhelming and for the most part very very positive,” he said. “The exposure for the town, team and league is still being measured but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s well over a million.” G-Hawks co-captain Lucas Brown said the exposure for “Hockey for Harambe” has been pretty cool and they’re looking forward to take part in it. “It’s a pretty cool thing, I’m excited, all of the guys are laughing about it and I’m sure all of the other teams will get a kick out of it too but it’s for a good cause.” Game tickets can be purchased online at trentongoldenhawks.ca/Tickets.

This Band of Brothers could really swing Seventy years ago, my dad, Phil Sparling, came home to Canada (London, Ontario) after World War Two. He was 23 years old, and hadn’t fired a shot. He and the other 20-somethings in the RCAF Streamliners, a 15-piece big band considered one of Canada’s best, had packed up their horns and headed for home on the Ile de France, a luxury ocean liner that had been converted into a troop and munitions carrier during the war. As they sailed home, the Streamliners knew their lives would be forever affected by what they had done, where they had been, and what they had seen in the previous 20 months. In June 1944, they’d been posted to Europe with the task of providing a musical taste of home for soldiers, sailors and airmen not just from

Canada, but from all allied nations. In sometimes dangerous and always challenging conditions, the Streamliners played more than 600 gigs - an average of one every day, seven days a week - throughout the UK, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, and Denmark. They travelled thousands of miles in trains and trucks - occasionally under fire - and hopped between continents in unarmed Dakota C3 planes to play for soldiers in freshly-liberated territory mere yards away from the front lines. They witnessed the horror of a German concentration camp. Their big band swing and jazz was featured regularly on BBC radio broadcasts, and they alternated billing with the great Glenn Miller American Army band at the Queensbury All-Services Club, in what is now London’s Prince Edward Theatre. And like all wartime Londoners, they scrambled to stay clear of German V1 and V2 rockets, sometimes fervently wishing they could ditch their uniforms and join the civilians who sought the safety of the underground shelters. After arriving in London shortly after D-Day, the Streamliners played for troops throughout the UK. They entertained often in London, when German rockets rained down nightly for a while. Drummer Don Hilton, who would go on to a career in music in Toronto that included the Juliette

show on CBC-TV and backing jazz greats Art Blakey and Oscar Peterson, can now laugh about one particularly harrowing night. Hilton and bandmate Jack Perdue woke up to the sirens and heard the engine of what Perdue thought was a truck outside, but what Hilton guessed could well be an approaching rocket. It was hard on the nerves, because if the engine cut out, it was likely a V1 rocket that would soon fall and explode nearby. “What do you think that is, Jack? “Oh, it’s just a truck.” “I don’t think it is a truck, Jack.” “Yes it is, it’s just a truck.” “No it isn’t.” “Yes it is.”

So they waited awhile longer, and the engine stopped. “It is like hell a truck, that’s a bomb!” They scurried downstairs to safety in the nick of time, the bomb exploding nearby. Hilton also recalls that on the day the great American bandleader Glenn Miller took his fateful flight across the English Channel, never to be heard from again, the Streamliners set out in skies filled with enemy air activity for Eindhoven, Holland. Trombonist Charlie Overall, looking out his window, announced that he could see a lot of fighter aircraft nearby. Understandably concerned, to say the least, the others held their breath for a few moments until he updated his report with “It’s okay…they’re ours!” Hilton recalls another close call when the band played a recently recaptured German airfield, again in Eindhoven. The Streamliners were headed there for New Year’s Eve, but bad weather them to GoMcCoy.com forced camp in a hospi-

tal for the night. The next morning, hundreds of wounded soldiers were brought in to that hospital from the airfield, as the Germans had attacked once again in an effort to reclaim it. On their way from Eindhoven to Arnhem, Germany to a concert for Canadian Army troops, the band crossed the Nijmegen bridge under shell fire. When they made it to the concert site just 250 yards from the German lines, they played for soldiers who pointed their guns at the door every time it opened, just in case some of the German paratroopers in the area decided to drop in. Another surviving band member is guitarist Len Coppold, now in his mid-90s and still playing in Melbourne, Florida. He’ll never forget what he saw the day the band was taken to the German concentration camp Bergen Belsen after playing in Celle, Germany. The prisoners had been freed by American troops just days before the band’s arrival. “We went through the gates, and you just wanted to faint. The people who’d been imprisoned and tortured for three years were just there….they had nothing to do and no place to go. It was a terrible, terrible scene. These people weighed just 60 to 65 pounds maximum, lying on the ground, and holding their hands on the fence...and then we saw the ovens. It just demolished me.” My dad died in 2010. A year before, I asked him to write down what he re-

By boat back to England, where we added the France and Germany Star to the Defense of Britain Ribbon. Some heroes. Always felt sheepish when guys who fought and killed and lived in terror in planes and trenches started applauding us.” “I remember joining the giddy mobs on VE Day, and surging down the Strand to the Palace and cheering the Royals who appeared at intervals all day. They wept; we wept; the gods wept.” “Well, as the guy with billboards in Piccadilly Circus proclaimed, “the end is nigh.” Nine more frustrating months passed before we found ourselves trooping up the gangplank of the “Ile de France,” destination Canada.

OPINION

Yemen: The Stupidest War

“They hit everything, hospitals, orphanages, schools,” Hisham al-Omeisy told The Guardian newspaper six months ago. “You live in constant fear that your kids’ school could be the Gwynne Dyer next target.” No, he’s not talking about the wicked Russians bombing the eastern side of Aleppo in Syria, which is stirring up so much synthetic indignation in Washington and London these days. He was talking about the air force of Saudi Arabia, that great friend of the West, bombing his friends and neighbours in Sana’a, the capital of Yemen. The Saudi Arabian bombing campaign in Yemen is now eighteen months old, and is responsible for the great majority of the estimated 5,000 civilian fatal casualties in that time. The Saudi authorities swear that it wasn’t them every time there is an especially high death toll – “(our) forces have clear instructions not to target populated areas and to avoid civilians” is the familiar refrain – but they are the only side in the conflict that has aircraft. A case in point is last Sunday’s strike on the Great Hall in Sana’a, a very large and distinctive building of no military importance whatever. Last Sunday it was crowded with hundred of people attending the funeral of Ali al-Rawishan, the father of the current interior minister, Galal al-Rawishan. The younger al-Rawishan is the interior minister in the government that sits in the capital, which is supported by “rebel” Houthi tribesmen from the north of Yemen and by the part of the army that still backs the former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh. His father’s funeral was therefore attended by many senior Houthi officials and supporters of the former president, as well as large numbers of other people. By the sheerest coincidence, we are asked to believe, an air-strike accidentally hit the Great Hall at just the right time on just the right day to kill 150 people and wound 525, among whom there would probably have been a dozen or so “rebel” government officials. This war is really about Saudi Arabia’s ability to control Yemen’s government. The two neighbours have about the same population but Saudi Arabia is thirty times richer, so that should be easy. Yemen’s long-ruling dictator, Ali Abdul-

lah Saleh, was hostile to Saudi Arabia, so the latter took advantage of popular protests against him in 2011-12 to engineer his replacement by a Saudi puppet, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi. Saleh then made an alliance with his former enemies, the Houthi tribes of northern Yemen, and struck back. When the rebel forces seized Sana’a in late 2014 and eventually drove Hadi out of the country, Saudi Arabia put together a “coalition” of conservative Arab states and launched the current military intervention to put Hadi back in power. However, none of the “coalition” members wants to risk the casualties and the consequent unpopularity at home that would come from fighting a major ground war in Yemen. The intervention therefore consists mostly of air strikes, which produce lots of civilian casualties – some deliberate, some not. The other motive behind this foolish war is the Saudi belief (or at least claim) that Iran, its great rival in the Gulf, is the secret power behind the rebel forces in Yemen. No doubt Iran does sympathise with the Yemeni rebels, since they are mostly fellow Shias, but for all the talk of “Iran-allied Houthis”, faithfully repeated in Western media, there is no evidence that Iran has given them either military or financial aid. So, then, three conclusions. First, the Saudi-led coalition will not get its way in Yemen if it remains unwilling to put large numbers of troops on the ground – and it might not win even if it did. Second, the relentless bombing of civilians is largely due to the coalition’s frustration at the failure of its political strategy (although the sheer lack of useful military targets also plays a part). And third, this is the stupidest of all the wars now being fought across the Middle East. Who runs Yemen is not a matter of vital strategic importance to Saudi Arabia, and the Saudi obsession with the Iranian “threat” is absurd. Yemen is of no imaginable strategic value to Iran, nor could the Iranians help the rebel government there in any concrete way even if they wanted to. And while Iranian influence has undoubtedly grown in the Gulf region in the past decade, that is entirely a result of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, not of some nefarious Iranian plot. Does the Washington foreign policy establishment finally understand all this? Only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Old habits die hard, and it’s all too easy to condemn Russian air strikes in Syria while condoning similar Saudi air strikes in Yemen.

Mental health funding left off agenda for too long Editorial by Chris Malette As of this writing, Canada’s Minister of Health Jane Philpott will have convened a meeting with her counterparts at the provincial level. No doubt she’ll address such issues as wait times, costs of therapies and the like but will she address the elephant in the room? That is, properly funding and directing resources to mental health care in Canada? Last month, the health minister told an audience at Queen’s University the answer to overall health care funding is to “not just throw money” at the problem. Philpott said the facts do not support the idea that what the health system needs most is more cash. “I’m convinced that we have an obligation as a government of Canada, for example, to do more than simply open up the federal wallet.” But, while a warning that the purse strings may tighten was viewed with some trepidation by those in the mental health care field, she did give a nod to a need to change the direction of mental health care funding in Canada. “Patients with severe mental illness often face long waits to get access to specialists. Others who require counselling or therapy may have private insurance coverage, but most have to pay out-ofpocket, or more often, try to manage without,” Philpott said. Dr. Catherine Zahn, president and CEO of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, wrote an opinion column in the Toronto Star this week that highlighted the needs facing mental health care in Canada. She stated, bluntly, that mental health care is under-resourced in Canada. Mental illness accounts for about 10 per cent of the burden of illness in Ontario but receives just 7 per cent of health care dollars. That translates into a $1.5-billion gap. “Bridging that gap is not just the right thing to do. It’s also smart economics in a country that loses $50 billion a year in lost productivity from mental illness,” said Zahn. “There is also a wide gap between the quality of care that Canadians receive for physical ailments compared to mental illnesses. “Take, for example, cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT, a widely used evidence-based therapeutic intervention. It is a key tool for treating illnesses like anxiety and depression. Such therapy as CBT and other structured psychotherapies are not publicly insured except in narrow circumstances, noted Zahn. It is covered through third-party insurance providers, but even then, most third-party insurance policies cover the equivalent of one and a half treatment sessions per year.

“Can you imagine if that was our approach to palliative care or chemotherapy?” asked an incredulous Zahn. “We’d consider that unthinkable and completely unacceptable. Yet thousands of Canadians suffering from depression do not have access to a valuable intervention.” As she concluded, such lack of attention and funding is outrageous – and deeply unjust. Full disclosure, the author of this editorial serves on the board for the Canadian Mental Health Association, Hastings & Prince Edward Branch. As such, I have first-hand knowledge of the crying need for more direct intervention by all levels of government in funding and addressing mental health needs in the community. But, few have the insight of the association’s director, Sandie Sidsworth. Asked what she would see as what is needed “in a perfect world where proper funding is made available,” Sidsworth didn’t hesitate to say community buy-in is most important of all in seeing the needs of those struggling with mental health issues. “To bring community to the table,” she said, “we focus (royal we) on the acute part of the illness without realizing how supportive and meaningful community supports can be – not just models that flow from medical models, but strength-based solutions utilizing focused counselling through agencies like Three Oaks foundation, Sexual Assault Centre and of course CMHA–HPE and that support be respected for what it can do and what it can’t do. “Community support,” stressed Sidsworth, “brings a level of choice to the client – engages them in what they want for their continued wellness. Sometimes this is missing from that picture of a fulsome care continuum – it’s not only getting well, but also finding support to maintain that wellness beyond a hospital or clinical setting.” What it means, for those of us not inside the bubble, is there needs to be funding made available for those community supports to thrive. Those with mental health illnesses – from anxiety to depression to more serious personality disorders that require intense intervention, require supports that will keep them out of jails, out of hospitals and out of funeral homes. If this were SARS, we’d be screaming for resources to address the problem. Ask a cop, emergency room nurse or court worker whether they believe there are adequate funding and resources available to properly address mental health in our communities. You don’t have to be a health minister to know the answer.

Quinte West celebrates refugee family By Erin Stewart

Trenton – After three months of living in Quinte West, the Bahta family was celebrated with an official welcome party at the Trent Port Marina on Sunday Oct. 16. The Bahta family, Christians originally from Eritrea Africa, but displaced to Sudan, were surrounded by more than 60 smiling faces and welcomed to the community by Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison. “This is not only good for the Bahta family, but it’s good for us too, to open up our hearts and realize that we have so many good things to be thankful for and that we’re willing to share them,” said Harrison. The family of three – mother Amleset, father Habtemeriam and 10-year-old-son Saimon – came to Quinte West on July 1 and were able to enjoy Canada Day festivities and fireworks in Centennial Park on their first day in town. Harrison also thanked the Quinte West for Refugees committee, formed through the St. Andrews Presbytherian Church with multiple churches in Quinte West, for their dedication to fundraise and work so hard to help change the Bahta family’s lives. The interpreter was unable to make it to the celebration but fortunately the Bahta’s friends from Sudan, now living in Kingston, came to Trenton for the celebration and Argawit Zeray, 21, was able to translate some of Amleset’s words.

“She’s happy, she said thank you for the group for helping and thank you so much,” translated Zeray. “She said ‘I am very happy I came to Canada.’” Pastor Luke Vanderkamp, of St. Andrews Presbytherian Church, said it was exactly one

year ago that the church formed Quinte West for Refugees in response to the Syrian refugee crisis that shook the world. “This has been a true community effort, in the end we raised over $50,000, ready to help refugee families” said Vanderkamp. “We’ve

made new friends and we’ve given hope to a family who has experienced some of the worst this world has to offer.” Elsie Kuipers, Quinte West for Refugees committee member, said she spends quite a bit of time with the Bahta family and although the experience is challenge due to the language barrier, it is very rewarding. “It’s a lovely experience to be with them because it’s enriching to them, we both feel the connection,” she said. “We don’t understand each other so we laugh, we make gestures, we talk in pantomime, we don’t understand each others language and we just start over and it’s fun.” Kuipers said they’ve become friends and the Bahta’s adjustment to Canada seems to be going well. “I think they’re very appreciate of everything people have been doing, they’re very nervous about the winter, they think it’s cold now but I said ‘wait for it,’” she said. The Quinte West for Refugees sponsorship committee sponsored the Bahta family through a two-year joint assistance government program. Vanderkamp said the family became eligible for the program when the father suffered a stroke at work and was paralyzed on the right side of his body, putting the family in an even more difficult position. His health has continued to improve since the stroke and he can now talk and walk with some difficulty.

Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Browns stops by Quinte West for Chamber luncheon By Erin Stewart

Trenton – Leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party Patrick Brown has hit the campaign trail early and stopped by a Quinte West Chamber of Commerce luncheon with MPP for Prince Edward Hastings Todd Smith on Wednesday Oct. 12 at the Ramada Hotel in Trenton. Brown has travelled to communities across Ontario over the past six moths, putting 110,000 kilometres on a minivan he said he’s planning to take to every community in Ontario. Brown spoke about Ontario’s future and said he hears common themes from communities in the province. He highlighted four issues he said he wants to address to turn the corner for Ontario: red tape, infrastructure, energy and education. The issue of energy is one that he said needs the least explanation, stating, “everybody gets a hydro bill, unfortunately you live in Ontario and get a hydro bill.” It’s one thing to say hydro prices have skyrocketed over the past decade, said Brown, but there are two major flaws. One, Brown said the sale of Hydro One has to stop.

“The fire sale of Hydro One means we lose all future control over rate increases,” said Brown. “I don’t want to lose control of the rate increases, I want us to have competitive hydro rates in Ontario.” Brown said he would also like to address something he views as the second major flaw and would like to stop signing contracts for energy he said Ontario does not need. The $4 million salary for the CEO of Hydro One was also discussed and Brown said it is an example of the waste and frivolous treatment of dollars and cents at Hydro One. In terms of red tape, Brown said Ontario is now viewed as a slow place to do businesses, something he said has a huge cost to the province’s economy. There’s a series of problems with Ontario’s infrastructure, said Brown, and it’s missing transportation corridors. He said he wants the government to invests in infrastructure and not four, six or eight years down the line. Brown said the education system needs to be adopted to meet the labour market needs of today, something he said Canada is falling behind on. Students need to be taught real

skills they need for the challenges today, he said, and adapting the educational system will be a huge asset for Ontario. “We don’t need to be the province that bleeds jobs so if we take these four steps, if we fix those four pillars, we turn the corner,” said Brown. A member of the Quinte West business community said he was surprised Brown did not mention healthcare as one of the pillars he is focusing on and asked Brown what he plans to do to improve the system during a Q&A session. Brown said the growth in administration costs throughout the health- Patrick Brown (L), Leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, and Todd care system is staggering, Smith, MPP for Prince Edward Hastings (R), during the Quinte West Chamber of in some areas up to 39 per cent of the budget, Commerce luncheon on Wednesday Oct. 12 at the Ramada Hotel in Trenton.

Early literacy program in Quinte West encourages parents to read to children By Terry McNamee

Quinte West – A new program at both branches of the Quinte West Public Library is designed to get parents reading to their preschoolers. The program, 1000 Books Before Kindergarten, was launched at the Trenton branch on Tuesday, Oct. 11. It is new to Canada, although it has been popular in American libraries for awhile, said children’s librarian Suzanne Humphreys. “Were encouraging families to share a thousand books with their children before

they reach kindergarten age,” she said. “The objective is twofold. We know children start the process to read long before they reach school age, so this encourages reading-readiness skills.” The other, she said, is to create a time for bonding between parent and child as they share a book. Each child who is signed up for the program is given a logbook in which parents record the title of every book read. “It doesn’t have to be a library book,” Humphreys said. And since many children like to hear the same story over and over, re-

reading a favourite book counts, too. “Even the youngest baby associates the squiggles on the page with the words coming out of your mouth,” she said. Parents can sign up their babies and preschoolers at either the Trenton or Frankford branches of the library. When their log book reaches 100, 200 and 750 books, the child receives a sticker for the library’s display board. At 500 books, the child receives a prize, and when the goal of 1,000 books is reached, the library will help celebrate with a small graduation ceremony. Reaching the goal is easy, Humphreys

pointed out. Reading three books a day for one year, or one book a day for three years, equals 1,095 books. Library board member Chuck Lane attended the launch of the program. “I think it’s a great idea,” said Lane, who has five grandchildren between the ages of 2 and 8. He said reading for enjoyment is not automatic — it is a habit that needs to be acquired. Introducing children to books at a very young age is a great way to foster that. “I was really happy to see they launched a program like this,” Lane said.

They grow our local economy by providing free business counselling, lending funds to small business, delivering entrepreneurial training and how-to workshops, as well as an expanding list of small business services and resources. Congratulations to these Trenval clients and successful Entrepreneurs in Action! While Tammy Dixon and Crystal MacKinnon may be in a nontraditional industry for women, they

are refreshingly traditional in their desire to over exceed expectations. Tammy and Crystal could teach a master-class in how to move big things great distances. They have moved BIG things like tanks, fire trucks, helicopters, aircraft engines and more over land and over sea. And all this heavy lifting came during their combined 21 years as logistic specialists in the military. The two have over 27 years of military service with expertise in freight shipping and receiving, personnel management and leadership in challenging situations, all while working in extreme environmental conditions. This is unparalleled experience. But this year, they delivered on a dream they began discussing in 2010 while they were deployed together on Operation ATHENA, in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Tammy and Crystal methodically laid out a plan to take their extraordinary knowledge, network, work ethic and strategic thinking and package it into their own

Trenton – Quinte West city council is recommending that residents fill out the parliamentary committee’s online survey about Canada Post from September 26 to October 21 at parl.gc.ca/OGGO-e. “Get online, answer the questions, make sure they know how you feel about the service you’re getting from Canada Post,” said Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison. “If you support it tell them, that you don’t want any changes, that you don’t want it stopped, you

want the mail delivery to continue,” he said. Harrison said he thinks home mail delivery is very important. “A lot of people can’t get out to get it, I certainly don’t want to lose it,” he said. “There are ways they can save money, without cutting services.” After a public outcry in response to Canada Post’ drastic cutbacks in 2013, including its plans to end home mail delivery, the Liberal government halted the delivery cuts and is in the process of conducting a review to identify options for the future of

Council urges Quinte West residents to voice opinions to Canada Post

Roberts is changing lives one step at a time By Stephen Petrick, Erin Stewart

Quinte West - Joe Roberts’ trek into the Quinte region last week was much different than the one he took a quarter century ago. When he first came to Belleville in 1992, he was a young man trying to turn his life around after having lived on the streets of Vancouver, B.C. This time, he came with huge fanfare, as he’s now one of Canada’s most famous champions for battling youth homelessness. Roberts is in the midst of a cross-country trek to raise money to fight youth homelessness and his Belleville stop on Wednesday -- Day 165 of the 517-day journey -was symbolic. Belleville represents the city that turned his life around, he said, as an opportunity to attend Loyalist College, where he studied business marketing and business sales, sent him in the right direction. “I’m feeling nostalgic,” said Roberts, standing at Belleville’s Market Square where he would speak about his cross-Canada mission, called the Push for Change. “I’m certainly not the same man who came here 25 years ago.” Although originally from Barrie, Roberts moved to Vancouver in the mid 1980s to flee an abusive situation at home. By 1989 he was battling addictions and living on what he called “skid row” in Vancouver. Eventually though, he sought help to overcome his addictions. On the advice of his mother he came home to Ontario and entered Serenity House, a Belleville-based ad-

Woods said at the time he wasn’t all there and didn’t have his priorities straight. “When you start living on the streets you finally realize what’s going on and what it’s all about and after a lot of months I finally decided, after everything was going the wrong way, to go home,” said Woods. After finally going home life started to look up, he said. “I’ve been back at home since January 1st so 2016 has been going a lot better, I got a job again and I’m doing pretty good, I’m on track to graduate this year definitely,” said Woods, to applause from the audience in Trenton High’s auditorium. Roberts commended Woods for speaking out and said it takes a lot of courage to speak in front of peers, especially about his personal experience. Woods said he really appreciates what Roberts has done and what he continues to do to raise awareness and funds for youth homelessness through Push for Change. “I honestly, I couldn’t’ ask to say thank you to anyone else.”

Region rich in history, now marked in TV series By Ross Lees

CFB Trenton - Peter Lockyer and his History Lives Here Inc. believe it is time we stopped squandering our heritage inheritance. The company was founded in 2004 by Lockyer, a former CBC Radio and Television broadcaster, who believes “… history is the greatest dormant economic asset we have in eastern Ontario.” With that thought in mind,

Lockyer and his team has set out to transform local history into a suite of consumable products and services which can ultimately regenerate communities with little else going for them but their history. “We believe there is some imperative to develop an alternative business model that creates new revenues for heritage organizations and their communities,” he said at the launching of the 2016 History Moments Series at the National Air Force Museum of

Canada in Trenton on Oct. 14. Lockyer and his company believes the imperative comes from the fact that many of the volunteers who have helped heritage organizations survive to this time are becoming exhausted and are themselves about to become part of history, so a new support system must be established. That support system, according to his companies vision, are goods and services that can be retailed year-round

Wheelchair rugby team forming in Quinte West By Ross Lees

Trenton – If the recent Paralympics tweaked your interest in wheelchair rugby, you are going to want to talk to access consultant Wade Watts, a former military member forced to retire after an injury abroad. Wheelchair rugby has helped turn his life around and he wants to give other people the same opportunity. “It’s about life and enjoying it and not giving up just because of a disability,” Wade said. “Rugby can be played by all those with more severe disabilities.” He wants to establish the local team for several reasons: To create a national team to compete provincially and nationally; he has been asked to try and organize a wheelchair rugby team for next year’s Invictus games. Wade has been working on the project for several months, but is still looking for people to come out, practice and eventually compete. Six competitors are needed for a team, but he would like as many people as possible to come out and take part. “The more, the better,” he said of the team.

his company have supplied equipment and facilities, but it is expensive to start from scratch. “I hope to get help but, regardless, this is too important not to do, so I will make it happen,” Wade stated. “This is a sport for those with severe disability and demonstrates ability,” he noted. “It has made everyone, including myself, stronger and I am now healthier and more abled than ever in my life.” Watts points to Dylan Lameroux, a local young man from Quinte West who was barely able to push his wheelchair just four months earlier. “He is now extremely strong and is feared in the game,” he stated. “He stops me at will and I will be pushing him to in the next Olympics. Everyone is extremely impressed with his progress. This game changes the lives of those involved and, since I have become disabled, I now feel more abled than ever and do not consider myself disabled. The only true disability is a bad attitude.” For further information or to contact Wade Watts about joining the team or supporting the team, email wwatts0940@gmail.com

Tweed woman settles suit with killer Williams Central Hastings News - A Tweed woman’s lawsuit against convicted sex killer Russell Williams and his wife has been settled. Sexual assault victim Laurie Massicotte, who lived two doors from Williams’ cottage on Stoco Lake, had filed a nearly $7-million lawsuit in late 2011 against Williams, his wife Mary Elizabeth Harriman and the province of Ontario. Massicotte reportedly settled with the province last year, but the suit against Williams and his wife had remained active. According to The Canadian Press, Harriman’s lawyer Mary Jane Binks said that the lawsuit was settled “very recently.” “The civil action launched by Laurie Massicotte has now been Russell Williams, as he appeared being led from Hastings County settled,” Binks told The Canadian courthouse n Belleville in 2010. File photo Press. “All parties want their

privacy.” Details of the settlement were not disclosed. Williams, once a rising star in the Canadian Forces, was sentenced to life in prison in October 2010 after pleading guilty to the murders of two women. In 2014, he reached an out-ofcourt settlement with some of his victims, but the suit by Massicotte, who chose to reveal her identity and speak publicly about her ordeal, had remained active. In her statement of claim, Massicotte said she had been bound and sexually assaulted by Williams in her home in September 2009. She said, in the claim, that the attack against her left her fearful, humiliated, depressed, suicidal, unable to function in society. It also said she would require

extensive therapy. Williams was convicted of firstdegree murder in the sex slayings of Cpl. Marie-France Comeau, 37, of Brighton, and Jessica Lloyd, 27, of Belleville. The former commander of Canada’s largest military airfield also pleaded guilty to 82 fetish break-and-enters and thefts as well as two sexual assaults. Williams methodically chronicled and catalogued his crimes, shooting videos and still photos of himself in the act and amassing a huge collection of undergarments stolen from women and girls. Dozens of gruesome photos were shown during his trial. The Canadian Forces stripped him of his rank after his conviction and, in a rare move, burned his uniform.

Albert College raises flag to celebrate 160 years

Belleville – Albert College kicked off its 160th anniversary recently, with a special flag-raising ceremony at the front of the senior school. Head of School Keith Stansfield, introduced the ceremony by saying, “When Albert College was founded in 1857, British North America was a group of colonies; forests were still being cleared in Hastings and Frontenac counties and logs floated down the Moira River.” Albert College, a private school in west-end Belleville, is Canada’s oldest co-educational boarding and day school.

Staff, faculty, parents, students and alumni gathered at the Dundas Street West location. Student representatives from the junior, middle and senior schools raised the anniversary flag while Albert College’s brasswind ensemble performed the Albert College hymn. The Albert College hymn in itself is a long-standing tradition at the school and is well-known. Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher, spoke to the crowd and gave congratulations to the college on behalf of the City. “It is wonderful to have such a prestigious and well-known

independent school in our community,” said Christopher. “It is important that we support Albert College and its students and encourage them to stay in our community to grow their profession and support the community.” The event was one of many anniversary events taking place at the school this year including the Shewfelt Lecture on Tuesday, December 6; the Anniversary Ball on Saturday, April 29, and John Davidson ’59 Memorial Golf Tournament on Friday, June 9.

Woodlot course has pros as profs Oct. 22, 29 Do you want to know more about your woodlot and sustainable forestry? Come and learn from the experts at the Managing Your Woodlot course. The Local Wood Initiative, with support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, is hosting a two-day course in the classroom and out in the woods, led by professional foresters. The outdoor session allows you to try out the techniques and decision-making processes covered in class. The Course Dates are Saturday, October 22 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday,

October 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Dungannon Recreation Centre at 26596 Hwy 62 in L’Amable, Ontario (south of Bancroft). Registration is required. Woodlot owners can enhance and protect the health of their woods. Trees play a vital role in sequestering carbon; they provide wood for lumber and fuel, purify the air and provide habitat for a huge variety of insects, birds and animals. Woodlots and forestry provide jobs and are an important part of Ontario’s economy. “The important environmental func-

tions of woodlots can be maintained, and in many cases, improved with active management that may result in financial return,” says course leader David Smallwood. The first morning session of the course covers the history of forestry in Eastern Ontario. The second morning session covers the types of forest stands (from upland hardwoods to treed woods, to coniferous plantations), and how to create a forest management plan. The two afternoon sessions provide outdoor lessons in apply-

ing sustainable techniques in the woodlot. With a forest management plan, a landowner can set goals that may include collecting fuel wood, promoting wildlife, managing for recreation or harvesting lumber. If you want to harvest wood for lumber or firewood, there are many factors to consider, such as getting bids from several reputable contractors and having a contract in place. The Bancroft and Area Forest Industry Association (BAFIA) is a good resource, with their code of sustain-

able forestry practice. The Managing Your Woodlot course will be taught by David Smallwood, assisted by Fred Werner and Peter Hynard; all are professional foresters. To register, please contact Matt Caruana (613) 391-9034 info@hastingsstewardship.ca or Louise Livingstone (613) 395-4388, info@harvesthastings.ca. The cost is $50 per person or $75 per couple.

“On Golden Pond “ is a fun romp for Guild players By Jack Evans

Most people think of “On Golden Pond,” the Ernest Thompson play which was made into a hugely successful movie, as a drama. If so, it is the funniest “drama” the Bellville Theatre Guild has ever presented, judging from Thursday night’s opening audience. With an elderly Norman Thayer obviously suffering from dementia, an estranged relationship with his daughter and a nagging (albeit mildly so) wife, one could sense the imminence of drama and tragedy throughout. But Jim Langille as professor emeritus Norman Thayer Jr. kept the audience in stitches with his deadpan humour and clever delivery of well-written lines. Even the forgetfulness banter was funny, not to mention the near-death heart attack at the end. Langille’s powerful performance was well matched by the rest of the cast. Veteran Judy Preece played his loving spouse of several decades, Ethel, to perfection. Enno Busse as Charlie, the friendly local mailman, former boyfriend of Thayer’s daughter, Chelsea, was also up to the mark as was Alexandra Bell as Chelsea and especially child star extraordinaire Max Archer as Billy

Ray Jr., the son of Chelsea’s new husband. Max, just a few weeks ago was winning hundreds of hearts as one of two Winthrops in the guild’s presentation of “The Music Man.” Chelsea’s husband, Bill Ray, a California dentist, is played in turns by Mark Lesage and Robert Lloyd. The story is set on a small lake called Golden Pond somewhere in Maine, where the Thayers have enjoyed summers in a rustic cottage summer home for many years. The set, created by theatre guild stalwart Liz Marshall, is breathtaking, with pine-panelled walls, large picture window overlooking the lake and lighting on the lake mural to reflect different times of day, a fireplace and more. Note the bamboo curtains over the window. Even if you’ve seen live versions of this play before, and there have been many, the beauty of live theatre is that the cast and director change and put new spins on it. This reviewer has seen professional companies do far worse with this script. Director Esther Parry also praised the work of Langille in the main role. “He had not had much experience, especially in key roles, but I could see he was the right person for that

part from the start. It all depends on the delivery of lines. The entire cast is wonderful,” she said. This decades old classic by playwright Thompson is an allout delight as the near capacity

audience Thursday attested to with generous laughter and applause. The show continues through Oct. 29, with matinees on Sundays. For ticket information, call The Pinnacle Playhouse, (613) 967-1442.

The guild’s next show is Dec. 1 through 17, the classic comedy, “Arsenic and Old Lace.” If the guild can turn a near drama into a comedy, one will need sides of steel to set through this hilarious hit.

Left to right, cast members of the Belleville Theatre Guild’s new show, “On Golden Pond,” take their final bow on opening night. They are Mark Lesage, Alexandra Bell, Judy Preece, Jim Langille, Max Archer and Enno Busse. Jack Evans/Metroland

A Visit to the Buddy Holly Centre in Lubbock, Texas By John M. Smith

I recently had the opportunity to visit Lubbock, Texas, home to the Buddy Holly Centre, so I decided to go and check it out. After all, his music had been one of my very first rock & roll influences, and although I was not very old at the time of his untimely death in a plane crash, I still was old enough to remember several of his memorable and often upbeat songs: “Peggy Sue”; That’ll Be the Day”; “Words of Love”; “True Love Ways”; “Raining in My Heart”; “It Doesn’t Matter Any More”; “Not Fade Away”; “Oh, Boy”; “It’s So Easy”. Charles Hardin Holley was born in Lubbock, Texas on Sept. 7, 1936 and he died in a plane crash, along with Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper, on Feb. 3, 1959. This tragic death was later immortalized in a song by Don McLean entitled “American Pie” in which McLean referred to “The Day the Music Died”. Indeed, Buddy Holley had achieved a lot in his very short lifespan – and he proved to be a great influence on many singers who would follow, including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, the Everly Brothers, and the Grateful Dead. Much of this is detailed in the museum, and I learned that many of these artists held Buddy in very high esteem. For example, John Lennon did a version of Holly’s “That’ll Be the Day” on his first recording session with “The Quarrymen” (prior to the formation of “The Beatles”), and both John Lennon and Paul McCartney confided that he was their “greatest influence” – and studied his style very closely. Their first big hit, “Love Me Do”, was certainly influenced by Holly’s techniques, and some have even said that Buddy Holly’s insect-themed group, “the Crickets”, helped John and Paul decide on the name “The Beatles”. A version of Holly’s “Words of Love” was included on their 1964 album, “Beatles for Sale”. Apparently a young Elton John was also so enraptured by Buddy Holly that he decided to wear horn-rimmed glasses at the age of 13, to imitate him, and Bruce Springsteen once stated that “I play Buddy Holly every night before I go on; that keeps me honest”. I suppose that some people would have thought that Buddy Holly was a very odd rock star, for he looked rather thin and frail and had very poor eyesight (and wore thick, horn-rimmed glasses that later were popularized as “Buddy Holly glasses”). Those glasses were recovered after the fateful plane crash, and they’re now on display in the Buddy Holly Centre. In fact, as I approached this museum, the first item that I noticed was a gigantic pair of glasses that now serve as a memorial in front of the Buddy Holly Museum – and many visitors now choose to get a photo standing in front

of those oversized glasses (as I did). When I began my tour of the actual centre, I learned a lot about Buddy’s early years, too. The nickname of “Buddy” had been given to him early on, and it remained with him. He grew up in a musical family, and he sang at a birthday party by the age of 4. At 5, he won his first singing contest! In 1953, he formed a group, “Buddy and Bob”, with his friend Bob Montgomery. By 1955, he was opening for Elvis, and in 1956 he was signed to a contract by Decca Records. Unfortunately, his name was misspelled, so Buddy Holley became known as Buddy Holly from that day on. In 1956, Holly and the Crickets began to soar up the charts. Later, Buddy became one of the first artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He was said to be “the single most influential creative force in early rock and roll”. One of my favourite parts of my tour was watching Paul McCartney’s documentary film, “The Real Buddy Holly Story” in the Buddy Holly Centre’s theatre, for it provided me with much of the background information – and included interviews with Paul, Keith Richards, the Everly Brothers, and Holly’s family, among others. I also learned that Paul McCartney now owns the publishing rights to Buddy Holly’s song catalogue. The Buddy Holly Centre is located on Crickets Avenue, one street east of Buddy Holly Avenue, and is housed in a former rail depot. There’s also a large Buddy Holly statue and a West Texas Walk of Fame in Lubbock. I just happened to be in Lubbock

back in September, on the very day that Buddy would have been celebrating a birthday, so I also went to the Lubbock Cemetery, where he was buried, and I found that several fans had decorated his grave with birthday wishes. I also found that his name was spelled correctly on his headstone. Lubbock is located in northwest Texas, and it’s often referred to as the “Hub City”, for several major highways connect there. It’s home to Texas Tech University, the National Ranching Heritage Centre, the Silent Wings John visits Buddy’s grave on Buddy’s birthday.

BATEMAN, Penney Anne (nee: Barrett) At Heart of Hastings Hospice, Madoc, on Friday, October 14, 2016. Penney Bateman, of Frankford, in her 69th year. Daughter of the late Melvin and Lizzie Hynes. Beloved wife of Jim Bateman. Dear sister of Rudy Hynes. Penney had a busy life, in that she left home to become a nurse at the age of 16. Once graduated, she continued to improve her nursing skills by completing university courses as a Registered Nurse (RN) while working at Sick Kids Hospital, Toronto, and also a Public Health Nurse. She joined the Canadian Air Force and became an Aeromedical Evacuation Nurse too. In later years, Penney left the forces and became the resident Public Health Nurse for Hastings County which brought her into the prenatal world and consequent baby follow-ups. After retiring, she immediately volunteered to assist farmer friends selling vegetables at the Belleville Farmer’s Market. The swimming pool was her stress reliever and she taught most of the local kids to swim. Her desire to travel was very evident and a month before passing she did a very enjoyable 2 week tour of Ireland. Cremation has taken place. Friends will be received at the McConnell Funeral Home, Madoc, on Saturday October 22, from 2-3 p.m. with a celebration of Penney’s life taking place at 3:00 p.m. Donations to the Heart of Hastings Hospice, Madoc, would be appreciated. www.mcconnellfuneralhome.ca

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth:

Quinte Botanical Gardens, Part 2

Dan Clost Gentle Reader, what follows are excerpts from a talk given at Quinte Botanical Gardens; QBG has the potential to become one of the best horticultural experiences in this part of Ontario.

Keeping estate grounds neat and trim can easily become a chore. If that is your experience, consider shopping it out. Can you pay someone to cut the grass, trim the beds, and clean up a bit? Consider hosting a family get together/yardwork bee. Those who are already starting to creak a bit when they walk become meal preparers; the younger ones are the hortulans. Pick spring and fall dates- not a long weekend or anything that clashes with whatever familial rhythms your clan has settled in to. As you plan, look at each step and ask yourself, “What comes next?” This will give you a game to accomplish the gardening tasks and make for great family time. Weeding is a needless and timeconsuming chore. Weeds in our lawns are probably the easiest to manage. All you have to do is grow good grass and it will do the weeding for you. Set the mower at 3” and several things will happen:

the longer grass will shade out weed seeds, some bugs, e.g. Japanese beetles, don’t like long grass and will bypass your sward and you will spend less time mowing. Weeds in flower beds can be managed with two methods. Surprisingly, weed cloth is not one of them; in fact, I don’t favour weed cloth at all. I have found that weed mat in an active bed- bulbs, perennials and the toils associated with them- is more trouble than its worth. I use a thicker layer of mulch which is replenished annually. It works just as well, and I can work the ground however I want. One method is to completely cover the soil with plants. Our “Anniversary Garden,” an ellipsoid 15’ by 8’, contains a wonderfully entwined jumble of catmint, coreopsis ,strawberry, Country Gold euonymus, Carolina Allspice, Lemon Lights azalea, Bonica rose, Adam’s Needle yucca, several daylilies ,allium, and Autumn Joy

Make Room for Family Adventures. Buy and Sell Locally.

sedum. A strawberry hydrangea standard anchors one end, a Chinese flowering dogwood the other. A bird bath with a fat ceramic pigeon locates centre point. This garden requires the least amount of care. Our Dry Shade garden is heavily mulched. Daffodils, false spirea, day-lily, big leaf hydrangea, hosta, Haakon grass, and a peony are well spaced, and a rescued Japanese maple provides a bit of height. The shade is provided by an ancient lilac and the neighbour’s Manitoba maple. There is very little work to do. There are many choices for minimal care plants. The following will do well in dry areas and, in fact, are often done in by too much TLC: heuchera- Lime Marmalade, Obsidian, Autumn Leaves, Black Currant; Electra tiarella; Tiny Rubies dianthus; Autumn Fire sedum; Prince Herbert anemone; Hidcote lavender; Biokovo

geranium; grasses- Red Baron, Little Sioux Blue, Prairie Fire, All Gold haakon, Morrow’s sedge; Raspberry Jam tulip mix; and a daffodil mix. Weeding in the veggie garden is even simpler. Cover the soil with a thick layer (6”) of straw prior to planting. When planting, pull back the straw to expose the soil. You can walk on the straw without compacting the soil which means plant roots can easily spread where they want, less water is used, slugs don’t like dry straw, at the end of the year simply turn the straw into the soil. Look for an in-depth column on this in the archives of this newspaper. When have to do physical work use the proper tool- one that is fitted to your hand and your body. Gloves and kneepads are tools. End notes: It is a sad day; we grieve the passing of our friend Jason Forth. He was a man who made everyone around him better.
