because he has family issues to deal with.” To his knowledge, Scaletta said Tanner Neron’s charges were an issue outside of minor hockey, but, regardless, the OMHA errs on the side of caution. Scaletta said he did have a meeting with the team and, because it has not been identified as a minor hockey issue, parents were given contact information for the lead investigator in the case against Tanner Neron, Belleville Det. Sgt. Ian Jarvis, to contact directly “with any question or concerns.” Neron, who is not in custody, has not been tried in court on any of the charges against him, nor have any of the allegations been proven in court. Meanwhile, the area YMCA has terminated Tanner Neron as an employee. The Y for Belleville and Quinte West sent out letters notifying more than 200 parents that “an employee of five years was charged” with crimes related to young people. The letter, which was dated Sept. 30, states a staff member in the Y’s Summer Leaders In Training Camp program “was arrested by police on Sept. 27 and is currently facing charges. “Upon notification by the police we undertook steps and immediately terminated the individual’s employment with our YMCA,” states the letter, signed by David

Allen, president and CEO, YMCA of Central East Ontario. The police investigation into Neron’s alleged activities began in early September into an allegation the suspect had been involved in the suspected luring of a person under 16-years-old. Police executed a search warrant at a Quinte West residence on Sept. 27 and Neron was charged with possession of child pornography, making sexually explicit material available to a person under the age of 16 and luring a person under the age of 16 by means of telecommunications. Neron, who is expected in court Thursday, Oct. 26 on the charges, was released into the care of his family with conditions that stipulate he not to be alone with any person under the age of 18 years, will not possess or access a device which can access the Internet and not to be in a park, a school, daycare, icerink, pool, or any other public recreation area or facility. As part of his YMCA duties, Neron was carrying out programming to as many as 15 children in schools across the community. “He worked primarily in two schools,” said the Y’s Allen, who identified those schools as Bayside Public School and Harmony Public School. Allen said Neron, while carrying out the after-school programs, “always worked alongside another staff person on site.

Man charged in child porn arrest was QW minor hockey coach, YMCA employee BY ERIN STEWART, CHRIS MALETTE

Quinte West – The local minor hockey association here is the latest youth organization to take action in alerting parents of children in its ranks after the arrest last month of a local man for child pornography and luring. Tanner Neron, 26, of Quinte West is facing charges including possession of child pornography and luring a person under the age of 16. Neron was an assistant coach of QWMHA’s Pee Wee A team last year and continued his role as an assistant coach this year until charges were laid in September. Neron was removed from the team, said Scott Scaletta, first vice president of the Quinte West Minor Hockey Association. “Until his court day, or until he’s actually convicted, his status on Quinte West Minor Hockey is pending,” said Scaletta in an interview. “That’s the official status that the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA) has given Tanner Neron at this point.” Tanner’s father Tim Neron was president of the Quinte West Minor Hockey Association but has since stepped down. “By his choice, “ said Scaletta of the elder Neron. “He wasn’t forced to step down, but he stepped down as the president of Quinte West Minor Hockey for the time being,

The Hastings-Prince Edward District School Board said Monday Neron “is not an employee of the board,” but would not confirm or deny that he had been involved in working with youth in the schools listed by the Y. As well, various reports in local social media place Neron as an education assistant at various schools in Belleville and Trenton. School boards have released nothing to indicate they have reached out to parents at any of those schools.

Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said it’s nice to see people come together to support the hospital. “They are working together, it just shows what you can do when you work together, it’s great,” he said. “We have a fantastic community and a community that supports and is a big part of our hospital, I thank them very much for that, for their generosity, their time, their willingness and desire to have the best hospital.” Harrison said work has come along well and it looks like the home will be ready in no time.

Trenton — Construction is moving full steam ahead at the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation’s (TMHF’s) home build project at 145 Bay St. Wayne McCrory and members of the Wayne McCrory Construction team have been on site to start the framework for the home, which is hoped to be ready for resale by Dec. 1. Proceeds from the sale of the home will go to the TMHF to help fund priority medical equipment at the hospital. McCrory was approached by Dave McDonald of McDonald Homes, one of the local framing companies he uses regularly, early on to get involved in the home build. McCrory said he wanted to be in-

G. May Project holds healing ceremony for victims of childhood sexual assault The G. May Project and supporters walk throughout downtown Trenton during the first annual healing ceremony and candlelight vigil walk on Sunday Oct. 22. Erin Stewart/Metroland

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — The G. May Project and its supporters hit the streets of Trenton to silently advocate for victims of childhood sexual assault on Sunday, Oct. 22. The project’s inaugural healing ceremony and candlelight vigil walk began at Fraser Park in Trenton, as a visibly moved Brandy Ringelmann, who spearheaded the non-profit organization, opened the ceremony. “We want to offer an opportunity for victims and families to heal, and then we thought we would take that platform and that audience, and tackle five minutes of education and prevention,” said Ringelmann. “It takes a village to raise a child, we’ve all heard that statement; that’s not going to happen if we don’t stick together.” The walk was done in silence, to send the message that participants were silent, so victims don’t have to be. The G. May Project’s goal is to bring a treatment program for childhood sexual assault victims and their families to the region, a program that is not currently offered in Ontario. The fundraising goal has been set at $40,000, of which $10,000 has been raised so far. “We recognize that where the existing agencies and programs are now isn’t enough,” said Ringelmann. “It’s just that the treatment and the care needs to keep going … so we want to pick up on what’s not being done.” Ringelmann said the non-profit is going to start looking at which agencies may be interested in taking on the treatment program. During the healing ceremony, counsellor and therapist Anita Brown took the microphone to spread a powerful message: the importance of, “I believe you.” “Often, what we need more than justice is to be

believed,” she said. “We have no reason not to believe victims and survivors.” Brown said most sexual assaults are not even reported due to fear. “It’d hard to accept that these otherwise nice guys are doing these awful things and it’s even more difficult to accept that we could all be at risk,” she said. “We have to stop disregarding the truth. The more we ignore the truth, the more the epidemic will grow.” The more people believe a survivor, the survivor wins, said Brown. Saying “I believe you” can instill hope and healing, and change the conversation around sexual abuse while encouraging survivors to come forward. “We can take power away from the abusers and give it back to those who deserve it; those who have survived,” she said. After healing exercises, drumming, poetry readings and specials guests, the Quinte West OPP escorted the march throughout downtown Trenton.

of encouragement. “It didn’t go unnoticed the number of days we would have lineups on the bridge of youngsters waiting and asking the workers, ‘s it today? Can we come today? Please today,’” said White. Speaking to the youth in attendance, Reid said it’s up to them to take care of the skate park. “Be proud of it and keep it clean so everyone can enjoy,” she said. “You’re doing a fantastic job so far. We invite others from outside our area to come and enjoy what we’re privileged to have in our community.” With a price tag of approximately $320,000, the committee began fundraising in January 2015. The project has also been supported by the City of Quinte West, which has assumed responsibility for the maintenance of the park.

Frankford — Grab your skateboards, bicycles, rollerblades or scooters, because the Frankford skate park is officially open for business. Located in the Frankford Tourist Park, the much-anticipated new skate park was officially opened during a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Frankford skate park committee volunteers, local dignitaries and many youth eager to hit the pavement on Saturday, Oct. 21. Sean Milligan brought his children and his own skateboard out to try the new setup during the official opening. “I think it’s amazing, they’ve done a really good job here, It’s a nice setup, everything seems to flow pretty well,” he said. Milligan said it’s awesome to have something for his kids that he wished he had when he was younger, growing up in Marmora. “We fought for years to get a skate park and still haven’t got one up there,” he said. “It keeps kids off the streets, we didn’t have that when I was their age … we’d get in trouble for skateboarding anywhere so it’s good they have a place now where they can actually come and skate.” Milligan said he plans to be out skating in the park with his kids as much as possible. After much anticipation, the Frankford skate park opened after more than two-and-a-half years in the works. Committee co-chairs Lynda Reid and Jo-Anne White thanked everyone who contributed to the project and also thanked the community for the support and the youth for their patience and words

OPINION

Municipalities can’t bear burden

The fall of Kirkuk

Gwynne Dyer

Two big cities fell within 24 hours of each other over the past weeks. The fall of Raqqa in Syria, once the capital of all the territory ruled by ISIS, came after a five-month siege and was no surprise at all. The fall of the Kurdish-held city of Kirkuk in Iraq took less than a day and came as

a complete surprise. Possession of Kirkuk was critical for the project of Kurdish independence, because it was the source of most of the oil that would have made an independent Kurdish state in northern Iraq economically viable. The Kurds of Iraq came tantalizingly close to realizing their dream of independence. Since the first Gulf War of 1990, five Kurdish-majority provinces in northern Iraq have been ruled by the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG), which had American support because it opposed Saddam Hussein’s tyrannical regime. That American support continued even after the US invasion that finally overthrew Saddam in 2003. The new government the US created in Baghdad had no control over the KRG, and the would-be Kurdish state almost doubled its territory by taking over the other provinces with Kurdish majorities, including oil-rich Kirkuk, after the Iraqi army fled in panic before a surprise ISIS offensive in 2014. Three weeks ago, the Kurdish government even held a referendum on independence in both its old and its new territories. It has been clear for some time that the KRG’s Peshmerga fighters would be no match for a rebuilt and combat-tested Iraqi army, which had already recovered all the other territory it lost to ISIS three years ago. Yet the KRG’s president, Masoud Barzani, still went ahead with his referendum on 25 September, and 93 percent of the voters said yes to independence. But then Iran, which is worried about the loyalty of its own large Kurdish minority just across the border from Iraqi Kurdistan, decided it was time to take the Kurds down a peg or three. As the greatest Shia power, Iran effectively controls a lot of the sectarian militias that make up the new Iraqi army, and the Baghdad government was happy to act as its proxy. The KRG’s president, Masoud Barzani, probably assumed that American support would shield him from Iraqi retaliation when he called the referendum, but it didn’t. When

Baghdad sent its troops in on Sunday, the Trump administration merely muttered some weasel words about not liking to see friends fight, and by Wednesday morning the area controlled by the KRG had shrunk by almost half. Only months ago the Iraqi Kurds were fighting alongside the Iraqi army in the struggle to free Mosul from ISIS control, and the Syrian Kurds have been the main American ally in the fight to destroy ISIS in Syria. But once ISIS was defeated those alliances were bound to end: betraying the Kurds is a old Middle Eastern tradition. The only surprise is how fast it has happened, and how comprehensively the Kurds have lost. There are about 30 million Kurds, but they live on territory that belongs to four of the most powerful states in the Middle East: Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria. They have been seeking an independent Kurdish state for a century now, but all the countries that stand to lose large amounts of territory if it ever actually happened are profoundly opposed to that outcome. Moreover, the Kurds themselves have never really been united, even within the borders of the KRG. In practice, control of the territory has always been split between factions centred on the Barzani or the Talabani clans. Each faction has its own militia, and they even fought a civil war that killed thousands in the mid 1990s. People talk about the peshmerga as if it were a Kurdish national army, but it is actually a loose association of separate militias that answer to different commanders. In the past three years they cooperated in the war against ISIS, but they split over the question of Barzani’s referendum, which the Talabani faction thought was too dangerous. That turned out to be right. There was no joint defence of Kirkuk when the Iraqi army finally moved. Indeed, there was hardly any defence at all; first the Talabani forced pulled out, and then Barzani’s troops had no option but to follow. The Kurdish dream of independence is at an end, and the Kurds will be lucky if they manage to keep even the autonomy they have enjoyed in Iraq since 1991. Indeed, they will be lucky if they can avoid another civil war over who is to blame for the catastrophe (from the Kurdish point of view) of the past few days. On Wednesday, President Barzani gave a speech that said, presumably about the Talabani faction: “They want to drag us into a civil war, but we will in no way be doing this.” But a lot of Kurds blame him and his referendum for provoking the disaster, and they will be looking for somebody to punish.

Editorial Kathleen Wynne - tax fighter. Even the Ontario premier’s staunchest allies will agree that’s not a description that is often applied to Wynne. And yet, we should all thank her for saying an abrupt ‘no’ to a request from the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) which would have seen the harmonized sales tax (HST) go up by one per cent in order to fund municipal infrastructure improvements such as roads, sewers and arenas. No doubt this is not what Wynne had in mind when she told municipalities to work together on developing new sources of revenue to make a dent in municipal infrastructure gaps. Increasing the HST from 13 to 14 per cent is not among the options she is prepared to consider. Not with an election around the corner and polls showing the Liberals are inching back into contention with the Progressive Conservatives. It’s not just the Wynne Liberals who dismissed the HST hike plan – which had reportedly been the brainchild of the AMO for the past two years. All three provincial party leaders said they’d not touch the idea, either. But, municipalities need the money, we heard from mayors of the region’s two largest municipalities and the payoff of the HST hike is tantalizing. A graphic on the AMO web page showed Belleville could receive $10.1 million, Quinte West $8.4 million and Prince Edward County $6.5, if the idea was adopted by the province. Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher is hoping the province will revisit the HST hike proposal. “It’s because the tools aren’t there,” he said in a published interview after the AMO meeting. “There really isn’t any plan at the provincial level. This program would have generated approximately $10 million yearly for Belleville.” He said it still can work. “Hopefully they will revisit it,” he said. “Hopefully AMO and the province can continue discussions and they can get that gap a bit smaller.” Likewise, Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison wants AMO to bring the idea back to the table in the near future. “That’s the best of all the options,” said Harrison. “You would get a percentage based on your population. There’s got be a commitment from the province. We’re $4.9 billion short in the province every year for infrastructure. The majority of the existing funding goes

to larger cities, so this is the only way I see for us to get a share. The only other way we have is through property tax. We have to borrow money and that’s a big expense to residents.” In most communities, the gap between need and available investment is growing incrementally every year. Provincially, it’s pegged at $4.9 billion. How will municipalities keep up? They don’t have the myriad of revenue options the province has. But for most municipalities, the options are few: increasing user fees, reduce services or increase property taxes. None of those is a sustainable strategy. They leave property taxpayers not only in Toronto but across the province with an untenable burden. A bad idea motivated by good reasons is still a bad idea. Increasing the HST is not something any of the major political parties are willing to consider. Especially not the Liberals who have been criticized for previous tax increases, and especially not with a hotly contested provincial election just around the corner. But here’s the thing: While this idea was doomed from the start, the problem it was intended to address is all too real and getting more serious. Municipal officials have been warning for years that towns and cities cannot afford the growing cost of infrastructure maintenance and development. With increasing concern about liability, insurance costs are becoming prohibitive, leading to public facilities in some communities being shuttered. Roads, sewers and bridges across the province are in need of serious upgrades and repairs. This hits smaller communities with small tax bases hard, and only adds to the larger, betterdocumented burden placed on cities like Toronto. There is no question that municipalities need more options. But, if not for hiking the HST to bring in more money, where is the money going to come from? Belleville just got the latest boost to its municipal coffers in the form of the third instalment of funds as host to the OLG/ShorelinesCasino Belleville. To date, that’s more than $2 million to the city since the casino opened in February. Problem is, not all municipalities have casinos and the smaller townships and towns are particularly hard hit with lower per-capita taxpayer support. Something’s got to give, before the roads and bridges give out altogether. – With files from The York Guardian

ArtiZen Café a space for music, food in Frankford BY ERIN STEWART

Frankford — Cosy, locally sourced and artistic, the ArtiZen Café has finally opened its doors after a year in the making at 14 A Wellington St. in Frankford. The new café offers unique interior design for the area with a small town comfortable feel to help people escape the stresses of everyday life. Owners Shawna and Derek Arsenault said it’s a space to laugh with friends, listen to live music, shop at the gift studio for locally handmade gifts or enjoy food, beverages and a good book. “We all love art, I’m a musician and our daughter does paintings and drawing and our little one does as well, so we just want to put that out there,” said Derek. “Even for people just starting out as well, say for musicians who aren’t sure about going into bigger spaces, they can come here and feel very cosy and comfortable and get started.” There will be planned events like coffee houses, beer and wine tasting, photography workshops, painting workshops, “We want to have as much of the art community as we can,” he

said, adding he hopes to eventually see artists come in and feel comfortable enough to play instruments or paint whenever, whichever creative outlet they like. Shawna and Derek Arsenault are well known for their other business endeavours in the area. The pair also owns the Inner Peace Spa and Wellness Studio in Frankford and Living Energy fitness and wellness studio in Belleville. “The café completes our mission to provide overall wellness to our community, clients, family and friends through relaxation, rehabilitation, fitness and health, stress management, nutrition and overall well-being,” said Shawna. “No matter what door you enter whether it be the spa, the studio or the café you will always receive friendly professional connections, and the freedom to be your authentic self in a safe, comfortable non-judgmental environment.” Arsenault said the café offers high quality gourmet coffee, organic tea, smoothies and locally sourced ingredients for homemade, healthy and tasty food, as well as vegan and gluten friendly

Quinte West girls collect items for Toronto’s homeless BY ERIN STEWART

Quinte West — Six Quinte West girls are at it again, collecting donations for the third annual year to personally deliver to people at Toronto homeless shelters. The hope is that this year will be the biggest year yet now that they have a drop off location at the Frankford Li-

on’s Club from 1-4 p.m. on Saturday Oct. 29. Randi Drake, mother of Kenzie and Madison who are involved with the effort, said they’re hoping the drop off location will make a big impact. “We’re hoping it’ll make a big difference in getting support from the community, because before we knew all of the people so we were just pick-

ing it up from their places,” she said. The girls are looking for donations of blankets, sleeping bags, hats, mittens, scarves and cash donation so they can hand out $5 Tim Hortons cards. The first year they managed to fill one truck, the second year one-and-ahalf and now the goal is two. “I’m proud, it’s amazing how every year at this time they basically wait for their call from officer Ed,” said Drake, speaking of police officer Edward Parks who brings them around to the shelters. “He calls us every October now

wondering when we’re going to be coming so it’s really exciting, the girls have got quite the bond with officer Ed and they feel if they stop doing it they’re going to lose out, they absolutely love the day.” The whole experience has been eye opening for the girls and seems to build their character each time, said Drake. The girls came up with the fundraising idea three years ago around Christmas time when their families planned a trip to Disneyland together as a Christmas present. “We came together and introduced them to the fact that other people don’t have what they have, so that they realized that Christmas present wasn’t something that was just normal,” said Drake. The second reason the girls came

up with the idea was because of the condition Mackenzie has called Cold Urticarial. The disorder occurs when Mackenzie is exposed to the cold, Drake said she starts to swell and gets a fever, hives and starts vomiting, so she can’t play outside at all in the winter. “The kids were so shocked to see that there’s a lot of people without places to live, there’s a lot of people that are freezing and what if these people had what Kenzie has?” she said. “There’d be a lot of people really ill and because they know that Kenzie can’t be cold they don’t think anybody should be cold.” Anyone who is interested in donating, but unable to make it to the drop off day, should contact Drake by email at randidrake84@gmail.com for pickup.

Trenton Rotary and Highway of Heroes Bomber Command help green the greenbelt Museum honours Earl Hewison

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — A total of 370 native trees and shrubs along with 240 wildflowers have been planted along the Trent River Shoreline, thanks the Trenton Rotary Club, Highway of Heroes and Lower Trent Conservation. Volunteers from both organization dug in to help Lower Trent Conservation with its greening the greenbelt shoreline habitat project at the Trenton Greenbelt Conservation Area on Saturday, Oct. 21. The Trenton Rotary Club signed on as the conservation’s community partner as part of the province’s Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund, which funded the greening the greenbelt project with $17,053. Marilyn Bucholtz, communications co-ordinator at Lower Trent Conservation said there’s a lot of work that needs to be done on the greenbelt because it is in poor ecological health with many sections of the conservation area consisting of mowed lawn, invasive plants and few natural species. “We’re hoping that this will be the start of a larger natural area in the heart of Trenton where there isn’t a lot of natural spaces,” she said. “You just can’t underestimate the value that these kinds of natural areas have for shorelines along the Trent River, Bay of Quinte and part of that whole restoration and protection and enhancement of the Great Lakes.” Planting along the shoreline will boost biodiversity, enhance shoreline

habitat and help build a more resilient natural heritage system along the Trent River. Scott Bryk, executive director of the Highway or Heroes Living Tribute, was at the planting event along with additional Highway of Heroes volunteers to lend a hand in the planting. High of Heroes Living Tribute is planting a total of 117,000 trees directly along the stretch of Highway 401 known as the Highway of Heroes, from Trenton to Toronto. There will be one tree planted for every Canadian soldier who has died while serving since Confederation. After the 117,000 have been plant-

ed, Phase 2 of the living tribute is to plant 2,000,000 trees in communities between Trenton and Toronto. “We will use some of the trees we’ve planted here as part of our second phase goal, which is to plant two million trees for every Canadian who has ever served in times of war,” said Bryk. Like Trenton’s greenbelt, Bryk said the Highway of Heroes Living Tribute has also faced poor ecological health along the highway, since it’s no longer a natural environment, there’s no rich organic matter and the soil is very compact. As of now, about 15,000 trees have been planted along the highway. This fall there has been a large focus on site preparation, said Bryk, so the planting beds will be ready for trees next spring.

Quinte West - The long-serving former curator of the National Air Force Museum, Earl Hewison, died recently at age 84. Hewison, who died September 17, 2017, had been curator of the Trenton-based RCAF museum for more than 30 years. On his death, the accolades pured in from many sources, including the following letter of condolence and tribute from the Bomber Command Museum of Canada, in Nanton, Alberta. Portions of the letter from the museum director Karl Kjarsgaard appears here: To the Family and Friends of Earl Hewison, Please accept our condolences from all the directors and members of the Bomber Command Museum of Canada in Nanton, Alberta, on Earl’s passing. He will be sorely missed by all of us. Earl was appreciated by our museum, not only for his service to the Royal Canadian Air Force but also for his years of determination, excellence and resourcefulness as the founder and main driving force behind the creation and building of the RCAF Memorial Museum, which we all know now as the National Air Force Museum. All the gathering and saving of aircraft along with the thousands of RCAF and aviation treasures started in the museum/s first and formative years because of the vision and resourcefulness of Earl’s acquisitions and, yes, even ‘liberations’ of said

TMH Foundation gala brings in Trenton man convicted of animal cruelty $210,000 for hospital BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – The Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation (TMHF) raised a whopping $210,538 at this year’s annual gala, improving on last year’s total by $6,000. This year, more than 200 guests and sponsors attended he annual black tie event at the Knights of Columbus Hall on Saturday Oct. 14. There was also another exciting cheque presented this year. Lynn Bush took home $10,000 for winning the 50/50 raffle, introduced to the gala this year. “We are fortunate for every dollar that we receive,” said Wendy Warner, executive director of the TMHF, after presenting the gala results on Tuesday Oct. 17. “This is one of the best communities to live in, they’re very generous here.” With more stability now at TMH, Warner said it’s giving people more confidence in Quinte Health Care. “The services that are in Trenton Memorial Hos-

pital will stay in Trenton Memorial Hospital, that’s where the donors intended their gifts to be used,” she said. The $210,000 is a nice chunk of the $1,872,000 the TMHF is hoping to raise for medical equipment by March for the hospital. Laura-Lee Bradie, manager of events and stewardship, said she’s not delusional and knows the gala would not be able to happen without the help of the gala volunteer committee. “I want to thank all of you for the countless hours you put in, for every item that you brought in from wherever in the world you get them and for putting up with us, thank you,” she said. Warner said they have raised about $600,000 of the goal so far and there’s quite a few more events and things in the works to help meet the large goal. Coming up, there will be a Fashion for Foundation event at the Batawa Community Centre in Frankford on Thursday Nov. 9 at 6 p.m. The fall/ winter fashion show to benefit TMHF will feature various local retailers and tickets are $20.

Volunteers on the gala committee presented this year’s cheque of $210,538 raised at the gala during a reception on Tuesday Oct. 17.

Trenton — A Trenton man has been convicted of animal cruelty after pleading guilty to permitting distress to an animal in Belleville court on Oct. 16. Lonny R.H.J. Cooney, 24, has been sentenced to a three-year ban on owning animals following an investigation into the mistreatment of a dog in his care. The Ontario SPCA received a concern in March regarding a dog in distress at a Trenton residence. An officer attended the property and discovered an approximately five-year-old German shepherd-type dog in need of immediate veterinary attention. The dog had a raw sore on its back and was missing most of the hair on its body, causing excessive

itching. A veterinary exam revealed the dog was suffering from a skin disorder and chronic ear infections. The dog is now recovering in the care of the Quinte Humane Society. This was a very treatable condition that had been left to the point of causing severe distress,” stated Bonnie Bishop, senior inspector, Ontario SPCA. “There is no excuse when it comes to failing to care for your animals. If you find yourself in that position, contact your local animal centre or humane society to discuss your options.” To report animal cruelty, call the Ontario SPCA’s provincewide dispatch centre at 310-7722.

Frankford’s Colin Crowe has a passion for ponies BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling — Colin Crowe is the first to admit that he is an unabashed horse lover — or to be more precise, a pony lover. Originally from Stirling, but now living in nearby Frankford, Crowe is the president of the Stirling Agricultural Society, and the horse and pony pulling contests are his special area of interest. He organizes the pulls for the Stirling Fair and competes with his teams of draft ponies at several different fairs during the summer and fall. The equine love affair has been passed down through several generations, he said. Crowe said he and his father both grew up with horses. He shod (put shoes on) his first horse when he was 10, taught by his father, who was taught by his father. While he was growing up, they had western horses and did team penning, but now his focus is on his draft ponies. He began pony pulling just three years ago and is a member of the Eastern Ontario Pony Pullers Association. “The ponies, they’ve got a little bit more attitude than the horses,” he said. “They are more of a challenge.” So, what is pony pulling? It’s just like the horse pulls, only with less weight. Like their bigger cousins, the ponies are hitched in teams of two to a pulling sled, which has weights on

it; they must pull the sled a specified distance of 15 feet, Crowe explained. Each team that pulls the distance advances to the next round, with weight being added each time. The last successful team is the winner. He said the pony teams — again like the big horses — are divided into size classes, meaning small ponies do not have to compete against much larger ones. The ponies can be any breed or mix of breeds, as long as they are within the height limit for ponies. The light class is for ponies 48 inches tall and under, while the heavy division is for those over 48 inches, but not exceeding 56 inches. Some teams consist of traditional draft pony breeds, such as Norwegian Fjords, Haflingers and Welsh Cobs of pony size; but, a matched team is not necessary, as long as the two are in the same weight class. “Mine are just crossbred, probably Welsh/Shetland cross, possibly a little Haflinger,” he said. This year, Crowe has been competing with an 11-year-old mare named Penny and her son, Jesse, a six-yearold gelding. “They pulled very well at their first one,” he said. “They pulled 3,400 pounds at Coehill.” He said he never pushes them to their limit, so he really doesn’t know

how much they could pull if he asked them to do more. “I’m happy with the ponies and how they pull,” he said. “I don’t want to hurt them.” When pulling season is over, his po-

nies get to do other things. He’ll hitch them up to a wagon and drive through Frankford, and he enters them in the occasional parade. He also uses them to pull logs every now and then. Crowe has a second team at home,

plus a borrowed pony, and hopes to have a foal or two born next year to add to his herd. “I’ve had horses all my life, and I don’t think I can imagine not (having them),” he said.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT FIRE FLOW TESTING The City’s Public Works and Environmental Services Department, in conjunction with Flowmetrix Technical Services Inc., will be performing fire flow testing of fire hydrants, throughout the City, starting mid-October until the end of the year as weather permits. This testing will ensure that fire hydrants are colour coded for Emergency purposes in accordance with the Ontario Fire Code 6.6.6 – Uniform Marking of Hydrants. 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. For more information, please visit our website at www.quintewest.ca and Search Hydrant Flushing.

Belleville Senators Home Opener Weekend

T

he Belleville Senators will play their first home games in history on November 1st against the Syracuse Crunch, and November 3rd and 4th against the Charlotte Checkers. This weekend marks the first time that professional hockey will ever be played in the Bay of Quinte region as the team returns home after a nine game road trip to start their Inaugural Season in the American Hockey League. As the primary developmental affiliate of the Ottawa Senators, the

team brings with them the highest quality of hockey in the world played outside of the National Hockey League. This is a monumental occasion for the Bay of Quinte area, who become the only non-major city center in the entire country to host a professional sports franchise. “We are incredibly proud to call the Bay of Quinte region our home and bring this level of experience to the residents in and around the area,” said Rob Mullowney, Chief Operating Officer of

the Belleville Senators of the occasion. “Fans can expect to be blown away by what they see both on the ice and throughout the building.” The game will take place in an extensively renovated Yardmen Arena that features a breathtaking new fan zone, a brand new center

hung videoboard, an NHL caliber dressing room, eight luxury suites and more than a thousand new seats in the north end, among other things. The occasion marks the beginning of seven straight home games for the team in the span of fifteen days. The team will play the Charlotte Checkers on the 3rd and 4th, a continuation of opening weekend festivities, before welcoming the Binghamton Devils to town from their old stomping grounds in New York. The Rochester

Americans will arrive for games on the 10th and 11th as the Senators honour the Canadian Armed Forces with two days of programmatic homage. The final game of the home stand is against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on the 15th. All games are set to begin at 7:00PM. Ticketing options are still available for each of these nights. For more information, or to purchase tickets, you can visit the team’s website at www.BellevilleSens.com. It begins now!


Quinte West men charged after drug bust Trenton – Police executed search warrants at several addresses in Quinte West and charged two Quinte West men with a number of drug related offenses. Officers from Quinte West, Prince Edward County, Central Hastings, Bancroft and Napanee detachments of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) community street crimes unit as well as the Tyendinaga Police Service with the help of the OPP Canine Unit and OPP Emergency Response Team executed the search warrants on October 17 and 18. Cocaine with a street value of

$25,000 was found, along with more than $16,000 in cash and drug related items. Jamie John Cannons, 42, has been charged with possessing property obtained by crime, cocaine trafficking, possession with the purpose of trafficking and possession of marijuana. Adam Dempsey-Elhouni, 29, has been charged with possessing cocaine with the purpose of trafficking, possessing property obtained by crime, trafficking cocaine and possessing marijuana.

Quinte West OPP issue 73 seatbelt tickets in one week BY ERIN STEWART

Quinte West — The Quinte West OPP cracked down on drivers who don’t buckle up. OPP officers issued a total of 73 tickets throughout Quinte West during a focus on seatbelts the first week of October. “That was only within the municipality, not including the charges the highway safety division had on the 401, so 73 drivers that we were able to locate not wearing a seatbelt and charge accordingly,” said Insp. Christina Reive, detachment commander. Warnings were also given, said Reive, and officers continue to educate people on the necessity of wearing a seatbelt while driving. “If you want to be safe on the roadways, wear your seatbelt,” she said, adding that the people who are making a conscious decision not to wear a seatbelt feel like they’re going to get away with it, even when police are driving by. “They’re hard for us to find and the fact that we found 73 people

with good enough visibility for us to lay charges tells me that there’s even more that were able to do their seatbelt up before we found them, it’s an issue,” said Reive. About 40 seatbelt tickets were issued in the first weekend alone, a surprising number said Sgt. Greg MacLellan, Quinte West detachment manager. “That’s much higher than I expected, us having written that many tickets in just a few days, I am surprised to tell you the truth,” said MacLellan. “It’s clear to us that some people still aren’t getting the message that seatbelts save lives, if you’ve ever worked in EMS or fire or policing you know seatbelts save lives, they make a big difference.”

Province invests in Quinte West environmental projects BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — Two Quinte West environmental projects will receive a total of $42,053 of provincial support through the Great Lakes Guardian Community fund. The Trenton Greenbelt Shoreline Habitat Enhancement, a project by the Lower Trent Conservation in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Trenton, will receive $17,053 through the fund and the City of Quinte West will receive $25,000. The Trenton Greenbelt Shoreline Habitat Enhancement project will plant numerous native shrubs, trees and wildflowers at three planting events along the shoreline of the Trent River to help boost local biodiversity and provide natural space for the public to enjoy. The City of Quinte West will use the $25,000 for 83 new trees and 24 plants at Centennial Park as well as a realignment of about 70 metres of the existing waterfront trail at Centennial Park. “We’re going to realign our trail so that when we use Centennial Park for special activities we can still keep the trail open and functioning,” said Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison. Lou Rinaldi, MPP Northumberland-Quinte West, made the funding announcement at Quinte West city hall on Friday Oct. 20 and said more and more people are starting to understand climate change. “Any time we can do something about the environment

Lou Rinaldi, MPP Northumberland-Quinte West. Erin Stewart/Metroland

… it’s a step in the right direction,” said Rinaldi. “Both levels of government, provincial and federally, are stepping up to the plate. In the last probably five or so years it’s become part of my mantra, I’m committed to try to do my best.” The Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund was set up to help people take action to protect and restore their corner of the Great Lakes. Since it launched in

2012, the Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund has awarded $7.5 million to 375 communitybased projects, which supported more than 37,000 volunteers to plant over 285,000 trees and shrubs, release over 800,000 fish, create or enhance 760 kilometres of trail and collect over 2,800 bags of garbage.

Lady Lancers rally to reach playoffs Loyalist College’s women’s rugby 7s side has clinched a playoff game after an impressive weekend tournament in Oakville Saturday, Oct. 21. The rugby Lancers were in tough the previous week after falling out of the playoff picture but won two of three matches at Sheridan College last Saturday to secure a playoff spot to be played at Peterborough’s Fleming College on Nov. 4. Loyalist went 2-1 in their final tournament at Sheridan in Oakville, scoring a combined 62 points throughout the day and securing fifth place in the nine-team OCAA standings. The Lancers started the tournament with a commanding 33-5 win over the Mohawk Mountaineers in their first game of the day followed by a last play of the match comeback 17-14 victory over the host team, Sheridan Bruins. The last game of the day saw the Lancers lose a razor-thin battle to the Seneca Sting, falling 1412 to end the regular season with a 7-9 record. Coach Ken Fitzgerald said he is happy with the way his side has come together. “I couldn’t be more proud of the ladies,” said Fitzgerald. “We were in a tight spot after what happened to our program last year. This team only had two returning players. The new blood invested in learning 7s right from the start and they consistently improved throughout the season. We were in tight games with all the top rival teams and with 7s, every game is exciting. Our ladies played with passion and a class that I have

always had with all my previous Lancers.” Athletic Director Jim Buck said he too is thrilled with the team’s results this season. “Coach Ken has done a great job with the team,” said Buck. “He’s recruited a group of incredibly talented athletes that have played with grit and determination all season. It’s impressive for a team to secure a spot in the post season in their first year in the league.” The Lancers will take on fourth-place Algonquin Thunder in the first round of playoffs in Peterborough on Saturday Nov. 4. Fitzgerald said he is confident in his team’s abilities going forward. “There are no easy games ahead,” said the coach, “but if we commit to our style and limit turnovers, I see us giving any team we match up with a good run. These girls have been a team all year and will no doubt win or lose as a team – that makes all our coaches even more proud of them.” As well, this week, Loyalist College Athletics announced Rachelle Malette, of the women’s 7s rugby team, has been named Lancer Athlete of the Week. According to coach Fitzgerald, “’Shelly’ has been a consistently aggressive force for the Lancers all year, but was on her game even more so when her team needed her most ( at last weekend’s Sheridan tournament).”

G-Hawks victorious over Dukes in first battle of Quinte BY ERIN STEWART

Wellington – It was an emotional return to the Wellington Duke’s arena for Trenton Golden Hawks’ head coach Marty Abrams on Sunday, Oct. 22. Having previously coached the Dukes for 16 years, Abrams said it was, at times, a difficult day for him. “At times very emotional, we were certainly glad to be going in there and playing the way we did and coming out with two points, it just made it a terrific day all around,” he said. “I still live in the (Wellington) community and you develop a lot of friendships and a lot of contacts in the community over the years, so to be going to the other side on the bench was a different feeling for sure.” The game started out quite physical, with the Dukes losing Nelson Powers after a major head contact penalty that left Trenton forward Scoley Dow out for the rest of the game with an injury. Unfortunately for the Hawks, the Dukes managed a short-handed goal during the penalty as Andrew Rinaldi got one past Trenton’s Will Rawski. Trenton caught up four minutes later with a goal by Caleb Boman and took the lead a few minutes later with a power play goal by Michael Silveri. Dukes tied the game 2-2 in the second period, with the only goal in the second scored by Teddy McGreen. The Dukes also lost another player to misconduct in the second, as Mark Kennedy removed his helmet to fight Rex Moe. The third period was a high scoring period, which started off with a goal by Max Ewart. The Dukes tied the game again, this time 3-3, with another goal by Rinaldi. Ewart managed to score the game winner 13:15 into the period, assisted by Zach Senecal and Moe, and Cal Walker scored on the empty net at 19:18 to bring the final to 5-3 for the Hawks. Happy to be coming out with a win, Abrams said he liked how the Hawks played in what he described as a “battle.” “It was back and forth, some food goal tending on both ends and overall the pace

EARLY BIRD WINTER TIRE

Metal workers take home the Business Awards cup BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – A company that works with metal took home a shiny cup from the Quinte Business Achievement Awards, held Friday, Oct. 20 at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre. Alliance Custom Fabrication Inc. was presented with the Business Excellence Award, the top award given out at the glitzy-annual awards banquet. Co-owners Mike Widdifield and Garnet Lumby accepted the award to a pleasant applause from the hundreds of business community members who packed the centre’s gym. A third member of the business, Brian Van Dijk, wasn’t present. Widdifield said his business’s success comes from its mandate to “provide our customers with the same service and support we would hope to get.” Alliance Custom Fabrication is located on Jamieson Bone Road in Belleville’s Northeast Industrial Park. It helps industrial, commercial and walk-in clients with metal fabrication services. The business started in 2005 when a group of six businessmen purchased the assets of Bonisteel Custom Fabrication and set out to start their own business, specializing in stainless steel. The Trailblazer of the Year Award went to Sprague Foods Ltd., a growing food processor on College Street East. Rick Sprague and his wife, Jane, accepted the award and gave a touching speech, speaking about how the long-running family business has experienced “500 per cent growth in the last two years.” “In my wildest dreams, I never thought I’d be able to take a brand nationally,” Rick said. “Now it looks like we’re going south of the border to the United States.” The Young Entrepreneur of the Year award went to Tyler Allsopp, the 25-year-old owner of Doug’s Bicycle. He has been involved in city cycling initiatives, such as plans for a mountain bike trail in West Riverside Park. Another notable award, the Business Person of the Year, went to Bruce Mackay of Mackay Insurance. Mackay was selected from a long list of fellow nominees, which read like a who’s-who of Quinte’s business community.

Entrepreneurs In Action:

CACTUS ROSE The Power of Positive Messaging

“Ethically made clothing for your free spirited little people … designed in Canada … a shared love between parent and child.”

Trenval Business Development Corporation was created in 1987 by the Federal Government to support small business and aspiring entrepreneurs. They grow our local economy by lending funds to small business and managing grant programs. Congratulations to these Trenval clients and successful Entrepreneurs in Action!

There are companies that take years to figure out what their defining message, their ‘voice’, their brand, truly is. Morgan Kotsovos IS her brand – happy, authentic, purposeful, and uncomplicated. She and her husband Mark launched their company, Cactus Rose, to share ‘simple and real’ with the world.

Morgan and Mark knew nothing about designing a children’s fashion line. But they wanted to share a message they didn’t see often enough – that a simple life connecting to people in a meaningful way matters. They wanted to share that philosophy with their children. Internet research and making cold calls was gruelling. Eventually one call amounted to more than a “can’t help you” dead end and led them to a fashion incubator. The cold calls continued but were now more targeted. Eventually, they connected with a manufacturer that fit their bill – quality fabric, ethically and sustainably made in Canada. Morgan is the designer. She handpicks the fabrics, selects colours, font, style, and creates the expressions for their children’s line of hippie t’s,

free bird shorts, the tiny dancer skirt, part time hippie onesies and harem pants. Mark is the illustrator. His art adorns Morgan’s designs and to know this couple, is to know they wouldn’t have it any other way than to support each other and deliver this message of love, joy, and simplicity together. Cactus Rose produces two lines per year and other than the pastel blush skirt, all coordinates are unisex. They are proud to be a part of the slow fashion movement: “designing, producing, consuming, and living better... we have a different approach in which designers, buyers, retailers and consumers are more aware of the impacts of products on workers, communities and ecosystems.” (K. Fletcher) “We feel less is more – make less, make it better, make something that’s special and meaningful.” Mark and Morgan were referred to Trenval where they learned about Futurpreneur – a program for youth

18 – 34 years old looking for capital, mentorship, and guidance through the start up process. “Its intimating starting your own business and wondering if the clientele will be as excited about your idea as you are. Trenval was able to reassure us and offer a wealth of knowledge through the whole experience.” They sell out at pop-up markets and through www.cactusrose.ca. “We feel so humbled and grateful for all the community support.” Morgan’s mobile store fits their brand – wood table, cowhide rug, twinkle lights, custom racks – she weaves her spirit and light into every seam of Cactus Rose. Connect on Facebook. Their inspiring Monday Mantra’s, their Little Cacti Tuesdays are all intended to put a smile on your face. Email for details on upcoming markets. The Board and Staff of Trenval congratulate Morgan and Mark Kotsovos and are proud to have been a part of their success story!

County to study hospitals request

Ian Wilson, left,and Denise Cumming, CEO of University Hospitals Kingston Foundation, address Hastings County Council in an appeal for funding for major new redevelopment. Jack Evans/Metroland

BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County will consider a request from the Kingston hospitals complex for a major new development there. This year marks the end of a 10-year commitment payment of about $68,000 per year toward an earlier project. Making the presentation were Ian Wilson, CEO of the University Hospitals Kingston. The body reviewed the scope of an expansion and redevelopment for all three hospitals in Kingston expected to total more than $634 million in construction, equipment and new programs, of which the fair share, based on actual use of Kingston hospitals in 2016, would be$60,000 per year for Hastings County. That number is based on a local commitment of 10 per cent, with the province paying the rest. The request was referred to the new budget

for consideration. Reeve Carl Tinney added that council should also consider some assistance for the hospital at Peterborough where many residents in the northern part of Hastings go when they need hospital care, along with some from the Marmora area. He said he showed up at the Belleville hospital at one time and was told to just go to Peterborough. The Finance Committee also dealt with a request from the Maynooth community where a group of citizens is trying to restore and preserve the old station as a heritage site. The problem, county officials explained, is the property is jointly owned by the county and the province and must get resolved into single ownership before the county can commit any funds. Hastings officials said they are working on that and hope to get full ownership by the county.

Local musician to issue first CD in November languages, Rice has also included a wistful interpretation of a French song by MIKA on the disc.

BY JACK EVANS

Belleville singer-musician Douglas Rice is getting set to expand into recording status with the impending release of a first CD in November. The recording also covers his skills as a composer as half of the songs on the CD are original ones of his own. The others come from Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon among others. One of his original songs has already been picked up by Polish film director Marcel Koszalka for a new European feature film. Title of his new CD is “State of Mind.” Rice describes it as converging on “perception and how our ability to interpret the world determines our reality.” He adds: “The concept is explored through a narrative of stories that sing, illustrating themes pertaining to love, courage and other aspects of life in an alluring, tuneful, flowing stream of song.” A relative newcomer to Belleville’s musical scene, Rice has already established a successful vocal training program as an annex to his original studio in Toronto. With an established reputation as an operative tenor and well-versed in several

He continues to sing classical literature as a tenor, especially roles in Handel and Mozart operas whilst incorporating his musical talents as pianist, accompanist, composer, director and conductor. He also serves as adjudicator for various vocal competitions. As a voice teacher, Rice has special training and skill in the physiology of the human voice, allowing him to help develop voices that have special needs, such as seniors. In announcing the launch of his first CD, Rice also forecasts more recordings in the future, including: “Art Songs for Tenors,” and “A Broadway Song CD.” He will be collaborating with other artists in these as he works toward a high level of artistic projects in the Quinte area and throughout Ontario.

Karl Subban pens parenting book BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – When Karl Subban returns to Belleville on Oct. 26, it wouldn’t be surprising if a hockey fan from here brings him a warm meal. Such kind gestures were a regular occurrence over the 10 years that at least one of his sons was playing for the Belleville Bulls. “I had one fan make chicken curry for the boys,” Subban recalled gleefully, in phone interview from his Nobleton home, north of Toronto. Other times they were made cookies, he said. P.K., Malcolm and Jordan were always well fed, both with food and support. “They loved the Bulls. They loved all the players; that’s what I experienced there,” Subban said. “They never took losing personally – the boys were more important.” Subban said he’s looking forward to returning to Belleville for a booksigning event at 7 p.m. at the Belleville Chapters. With Scott Colby, he’s penned a book called How We Did It: The Subban Plan for Success in Hockey, School and Life. Born in Jamaica, raised in Sudbury and educated at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Subban went on to a career in education and still works as a principal with the Toronto District School Board today. But he’s now more known for being a famous hockey father. P.K. Subban, the first of his children to play for the Bulls, went to become one of the best defencemen and arguably the most prolific personality in the National Hockey League. While well known for his skills on the ice – he won the Norris Trophy as the league’s best defenceman in 2013 – he’s also know for his philanthropic work, as P.K. recently pledged $10 million to the Montreal Children’s Hospital. Malcolm Subban, a goaltender, went from the Bulls to the Boston Bruins organization and is now playing regularly in the NHL with the Las Vegas Golden Knights. Jordan Subban, a defenceman who led the Bulls in scoring in in the franchise’s final season in 2014-15, is now with the Vancouver Canucks American Hockey League affiliate in Utica. The book devotes a chapter to honouring the city of Belleville and the role it played in the boys’ upbringing. Subban has particularly kind words for former Bulls coach George Burnett, who groomed the boys to be not just good hockey players, but responsible men. The book tells the story of how Burnett one day learned that P.K. had slept in and missed school. “George called me with P.K. also on the line from home. After that I never had to worry about P.K. being late for school,” Subban wrote in the book. In the interview, Subban spoke about how P.K’s Belleville experience

shaped him into the person he is today. It was there that he first became involved in the community-service type of extra curricular work that is often expected of hockey players. In Belleville, he would visit children in the hospital or participate in breakfast club programs, and that allowed him to be comfortable with being involved in charity work when his NHL career started in Montreal. It’s also where he learned about how good people can be. “My boys have been on teams that won more games than they lost and on teams that lost more games than they won,” Subban wrote in the Belleville chapter. “But whatever happened on the ice, one constant was how they were treated by their fans … I sat in section 11 for ten years and never heard a negative comment directed at my family or my boys on the ice.” The book, however, is mostly about the trials and tribulations of parenting. The hockey boys are three of five children who Karl and Maria raised. Daughters Nastassia and Natasha are the two oldest of the kids. Throughout their upbringing, Subban tried to install what he had also learned through teaching into his own family. He spoke about how he’s learned there’s three types of parenting ¬– auto-pilot parenting, designer parenting (where parents want to be heavily involved) and lifeguard parenting. The latter, Subban explained, “is teach them to swim and then sit off in the distance.” That’s how he sees his role today, now that his children are grown up. He’s there for advice after a bad game

or a bad day, but he realizes it’s important to let grown children go off and live their own lives. The book also speaks to Subban’s strong belief that it wasn’t simply genetics that allowed three of his sons to make it to professional hockey; it was a result of him and Maria helping them find what they love and making good choices along the way to help them achieve their dreams. “The book, is really about potential,” Subban said. “Potential will never let us down, if we work to fulfil it.”

You can help. Cervical cancer is a malignant tumour that starts in the cells of the cervix. The cervix is part of a woman’s reproductive system. It is the narrow lower part of the uterus, or womb. It is the passageway that connects the uterus to the vagina. Cells in the cervix can change and no longer grow or behave normally and these changes may lead to noncancerous or benign tumours such as polyps, cysts or fibroids. Changes in the cells of the cervix can also cause precancerous conditions. Most women with precancerous changes of the cervix are successfully treated and don’t develop cancer. For those women who do develop cervical cancer, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) is here for you. We are always learning more about cancer. Researchers and healthcare professionals use what they learn from research studies to develop better practices that will help prevent, find and treat cervical cancer. They are

also looking for ways to improve the quality of life of women with cervical cancer. CCS is the second largest national charitable funder of cervical cancer research. This year so far, CCS has invested $182,000 in research into cervical cancer. One researcher to receive CCS funding for cervical cancer research is Dr Aisha Lofters. Dr Lofters was part of a team that followed over 260,000 girls, about half of whom were eligible for Ontario’s publicly funded, school-based human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination program in Grade 8. The vaccination program reduced the risk of abnormal cervical growths by more than 40% when the girls were in Grades 10 to 12 and suggested a similar reduction in the risk of warts. These results show early benefits of HPV vaccination programs aimed at preventing cancer.

Visiting Romania’s Bran Castle and Meeting Dracula BY JOHN M. SMITH

As a youngster, I can remember reading Bram Stoker’s vampire novel, Dracula, and I found it both spooky and entertaining. As the years have passed and I’ve become a travel writer, I’ve placed Romania’s Transylvania, the novel’s supposed setting, on my “bucket list”. I thought that a visit to this destination would be particularly intriguing and could lead to a rather unique Halloween story. This wish became a reality this past summer, for my AmaWaterways River Cruise from Budapest to Bucharest culminated with a day trip to Bran Castle. Romania’s Bran Castle is often referred to as “Dracula’s Castle”, and many tourists have been attracted to this unique mediaeval fortress as a result. However, Irish writer Bram Stoker never visited this particular abode, or even this country, and there’s no evidence that this was actually intended as the novel’s setting. The novel simply refers to Count Dracula’s castle in Transylvania as being “on the very edge of a terrific precipice”. It’s also often believed that the main character, Count Dracula, was based on Vlad Dracul III, a 15th century prince of Wallachia (part of Romania) who had a reputation for extreme cruelty and was often referred to as Vlad the Impaler (impaling seemed to be one of his sadistic activities!). Apparently “dracul” had, at one time, meant “dragon”, and Vlad and his dad had both been members of the Dragon Order. This may have been where Stoker’s use of the name “Dracula” came from. The word “dracul” eventually became translated as “devil”. Vlad the Impaler was not a vampire. However, many stories of ghosts and mythical blood-sucking creatures have been prevalent in Transylvania through the years. One particular Hungarian noblewoman who was born in the 16th century and had property in Transylvania, Countess Elizabeth Bathory de Ecsed, was said to be “the most prolific female murderer of all time”, and she was thought to have bathed in the blood of her female victims – to retain her youthful looks. She was later nicknamed “The Blood Countess” or “Countess Dracula”. Rumours of her vampire-like tendencies did spread around, but these may simply be “tall tales” or “fake news”. As for Vlad the Impaler, one theory is that he actually ended up as a

prisoner in the dungeon of Bran Castle for a couple of months, and my guide told me that if Vlad drank blood at all, it would only have been the blood of animals - to try to survive while imprisoned! The conclusion, therefore, is simply that Bram Stoker had a very vivid imagination, and he created a fictitious story of Count Dracula, who resided in an imaginary castle in Transylvania. The novel, tells of how the centuries-old Dracula tried to move from his home in Transylvania to a new abode in England - to find new blood and to spread the undead curse. However, he’s confronted by Professor Abraham Van Helsing and his group, and the Count is eventually forced to return to his castle, where he eventually dies. Be that as it may, the 1897 work of horror fiction certainly sparked a great interest in Transylvania, vampires, and the Count – and it’s still bringing in the tourists to this very day. In fact, I was surprised at just how long the waiting line was to get into Bran Castle – and then the walk through the castle’s narrow passageways remained very crowded. It’s a very popular place – and a ‘fangtastic’ destination for vampire seekers! I made the arduous climb up the hill to Bran Castle itself, patiently waiting my turn to enter the ancient abode. I learned that most of the furnishings and art inside Bran Castle were not really connected with ”Dracula’s crib” at all, for they were collected by Queen Marie (1875-1938), the last Queen consort of Romania (she renovated this castle and used it as a summer residence in the 1920s). However, one of the few remaining “original” items is the fireplace at the castle’s entrance. I also found a display of medieval weaponry on a wall. I eventually ascended the interior’s narrow passageway that took me to the top of the 14th century stone fortress, and from here I had a great view of both the courtyard and the surrounding area. After returning to the base of the castle, I checked out many of the shops and souvenir outlets that were selling a plethora of castle and vampire-related items, including refrigerator magnets of the fortress, Dracula t-shirts and coffee mugs, and even crosses with which to ward off vampires. I discovered that even private “Dracula Tours” were available. One sign suggested: “Enjoy an amazing Halloween party in Dracula’s nest”. Dracula himself made an appearance, too. What a “photo op” for eager youngsters in the crowd! Now that Halloween is arriving once again, I’ll bet that there’ll be some vampires and Draculas among the trick or treaters coming to our doors. Indeed, the legend continues. For More Information: www.brancastle.com (Travel and accommodations provided by AmaWaterways).

Breast cancer fighting activities make community pretty in pink Belleville business, HGS Canada Inc., launched its own breast cancer awareness initiative on Friday, Oct. 20. Staff at the Dundas Street East contact centre were encouraged to wear pink and raise funds through a 50/50 draw. Stephen Petrick/Metroland

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – Did you get tagged? From Oct. 16 to 20, the Canadian Cancer Society Hastings Prince Edward office hosted its annual Bra Tag event. This popular fundraising and awareness campaign created a social media craze when it was introduced in 2015. Local business people and politicians were “tagged” by one another to donate to the cause and help spread the word about cancer prevention. This year, those “tagged” by friends and colleagues received a visit from a breast cancer survivor or CCS supporter and had their photo taken in the iconic pink bra apron. After making a minimum donation of $50, they got to choose one or two friends to tag, and the cycle continued. Those tagged could also ask friends and colleagues nearby to support their efforts by “stuffing” the bra with cash. The #CCSBraTag apron is emblazoned with the words Mammograms Save Lives. This message is an integral component of the Bra Tag effort. Thanks to research funded by initiatives such as Bra Tag, breast cancer death rates have dropped by 43

per cent since 1980, the CCS says. Yet still, studies show one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. The money raised during Bra Tag will support research into all women’s cancers and provide services to cancer patients. The Bra Tag event was just one way in which the Hastings-Prince Edward area got behind Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In recent days the CCS has helped facilitate Paint Your Workplace Pink and Pink Manicure events. “One of the companies that participated in Paint Your Workplace Pink is Wilkinson & Company in Trenton, Belleville and Kingston,” said Lola McMurter, a fundraising specialist with the CCS. “On Oct. 13 they held a bake sale and collectively they raised $896.85 – which is an amazing amount. “In the meantime, we also have Liv Nail Bliss and Paris Nails in the Quinte Mall who are donating $2 from every pink manicure to Breast Cancer Awareness during the month of October. So lots going on.”

Rural areas don’t like provincial planning policies

Grannies Nov. 2 book launch moves location Belleville - Because of the strike at Loyalist College, Quinte Grannies for Africa have been forced to look for a new venue for the book launch of ‘Powered by Love’, a grandmother’s movement to End AIDS in Africa. The event will happen on Thursday Nov. 2 at Eastminister United Church, 432 Bridge St. East, Belleville at 6:30 p.m. There are only 40 cities in Canada where book launches will be held and Belleville is one of them. “So far there have been nine launches and according to the Stephen Lewis Foundation, they have been received with great enthusiasm,” said organizers. “People attending the events have left with new verve and inspiration to help. This is a great opportunity to bring friends and neighbours together and to understand the meaningful work of Quinte Grannies for Africa for the Stephen Lewis Foundation and of course the African grannies.” Aside from the South African guests working at Grandmothers against Poverty and AIDS, Ida Mukuka, a native of Zambia, will be the moderator. Mukuka was a project supervisor in Africa and is now a member of the Stephen Lewis Foundation staff.

The rural areas of Hastings County are showing signs of pushing back against provincial planning policies that seem to discourage development in rural areas. Several members of Hastings County Council last week registered strong opposition to a concept of focusing development in urban or at least “hamlet” communities, even to the point of removing hamlets that don’t appear to meet provincial specifications. One of council’s senior members, Reeve Carl Tinney, of Faraday, addressed planning director Justin Harrow directly and said: “We don’t care what the province wants. We need any development we can get. There’s a road there and blank spaces along it and filling that in is good for our township and good for the county. Let the province know what we want.” He added he wants the planning department to assure council that it is on their side. The comments came as the committee prepares to make one more point-by-point review of the proposed draft plan at its November meeting and then send it off to Queen’s Park for approval. Similar thoughts were voiced at a special meeting a few weeks ago when a large delegation from Melrose attended and argued that the county is going overboard to restrict more development in rural areas. Wollaston Reeve Graham Blair noted that the hamlet of Millbridge has also been left off of some maps, prompting tours looking for ‘ghost towns.’ “There are no tumbleweeds blowing around; new houses are under construction and we are no ghost town,” she affirmed. Millbridge, is, however, listed in a popular book called Ontario Ghost Towns and its history as a once-booming settlement town in the late 19th century is recounted in detail in the book. Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline entered a different perspective. As far as hamlets are concerned, he said, it’s more a matter of heritage. “Even if you have a hamlet designation, what can you do with it?” he asked.

“You can’t put houses in a rural hamlet on 60–foot lots and still have a well and septic system. And an abandoned service station cannot be reopened under new environmental rules.” Coun. Bonnie Adams argued that perhaps hamlet areas could be expanded to allow more development. Several speakers stressed that rural living is something that more people want. One speaker said she met a young newcomer mother in the Bancroft area who is delighted at the lifestyle in the country and especially pleased at the adequate Internet broadband service in that area for communications and school homework. She had several friends, also young families, who were equally delighted. To top it off, a copy of a news report, based on the recent census, included in the meeting package, points to the fact that income growth in the rural part of Hastings is exceeding that of the cities of Quinte West and Belleville. The report stated that Belleville had the slowest median income growth from 2010 to 2016 in the Quinte area, at just 5.4 per cent. The county’s comparable figure was 21 per cent. The same figure for Quinte West is 9.4 and for Prince Edward County, 12.7. For Greater Napanee, the figure is 15.2 per cent. The Town of Bancroft did not fare so well, showing a gain of only 8.2 per cent. Across Canada, the median income gain was 10.8 per cent. Economic Development Director Andrew Redden added that the county’s average current income per person is around $28,000, making it one of the tops in the province. His figure though was challenged by Reeve Carl Tinney. “I don’t know where that figure comes from. I didn’t see it, nor anyone I know.” With obvious signs of a push-back on any suggestion of discouraging rural settlement, the new county official plan could be in for a rough ride in the weeks ahead. Planners told council they are trying to incorporate their views in the new plan, but they have to kowtow to some extent to keep the province happy or their plan won’t be approved.

Musical fundraiser a hit for Arts Council Model Parliament program accepting applications

Debbie Shaw, Mike Ramsay and Stewart Hood introduced a haunting new original composition called “Barcelona” as part of their set Saturday. Jack Evans/Metroland.

BY JACK EVANS

A crowded banquet hall at Belleville’s downtown Sans Souci restaurant greeted a throng of local volunteer performers Saturday night. The acts included some of the Quinte area’s top talents, such as Joe Callahan, Louise Ford, Peter Solmes, Lenni Stewart, Lynn Marriott and more. The occasion was a 50th anniversary benefit party for the council, with funds raised aimed to help sustain the QAC and its many wide-ranging programs. The project was co-produced by local chanteuse Elaine A. Small and blues musician Callahan. A relieved Small looked around the crowded back hall of Sans Souci and commented, “Isn’t it wonderful! I was so nervous about whether we would get a crowd large enough and make a decent amount of money for the arts council.” There was jazz, blues, classics and pop, including a Halloween theme song called “Season of the Witches,” with Stewart and others joining in with Solmes.

Other performers included an instrumental trio called “Class Act,” comprising Quinte Symphony’s Debbie Shaw plus Mike Ramsay and Stewart Hood on bass and guitar. The Brian Legere Trio comprised himself, Harry Ellis and Phil Woodward. Other performers were Dan Kennedy, Jeannette Arsenault, Kyle Mitchell, Tony Vani and Tim Campbell, with a surprise vocalist at the finale, the arts council’s executive director, Carol Feeney. Other 50th anniversary events for the council coming up include a Night at Boston Pizza with Jack Miller as voice of the Belleville Senators on Monday, Oct. 30 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. when proceeds from all sales will support the arts council. A youth arts performance called “Let’s Make Something Beautiful Happen” at Centennial Secondary School. This show runs three evenings – Nov. 8, 9 and 10 at 7 p.m, featuring the school choir plus the Woodshed Orchestra, Hawksley Workman, the Skydiggers and Cash Brothers.

Belleville – High school students interested in politics and public service or even those who only want a behind the scenes look at how things work at the provincial legislature, have an opportunity to take part in the province’s Model Parliament program. Applications for the three-day program, open to Ontario students in Grades 10, 11 and 12, are being accepted until Oct. 30. Students selected to participate will be at Queen’s Park from Feb. 21-23, 2018. “This is a great opportunity for Ontario high school students to come to Queen’s Park and connect with the legislative process. “ Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith stated. “We’ve had a number of students represent Prince Edward-Hastings since I arrived at Queen’s Park and they always provide an optimistic and encouraging view of the future for both our region and our province.” The main event for the three days the students are at the provincial legislature comes when they take their seats for an actual debate, as the MPP for their riding. These debates are often moderated by actual MPPs from all political parties acting as the honorary Speaker.

Planner confident plan will pass BY JACK EVANS

Justen Harrow, planning and development director for Hastings County, said he remains confident the proposed new official plan will pass at the November session of council. “We have always targeted the end of this year for final approval,” he said in a telephone interview. He also agreed with remarks by several councillors at last week’s planning meeting that new provincial guidelines to curtail residential growth in rural areas can impact rural economies, But there remain options, he said. New technology in sewer and water services, such as communal septic treatment and

water purification systems are available and have proven to work. These would fit particularly well with condominium developments, he suggested. There remain opportunities for existing hamlets to develop one and two-acre lots In many places also. “”I think it is just a matter or education on what the province is trying to achieve,’ he said. “I think after we get a final discussion next month, the plan will pass council approval.” Even if it doesn’t, a delay will not be fatal, he said. There is time for more review and study if necessary. He also agreed that similar concerns about the revised planning act are taking place across Ontario.

County is active for small business BY JACK EVANS

National Small Business Week activities were only part of a busy time for Hastings County’s Economic and Tourism Development Department, director Andrew Redden reported to the Planning and Development Committee last week. The county itself was collaborating on two Small Business workshop sessions, one Oct. 18 in Bancroft on How to Start a Small Business in partnership with Loyalist College and another on Oct. 19 in Marmora. His report about success in growing paddling routes also generated interest in committee members. The question was asked if there is a map or brochure for suggested routes. Redden said his department is working on a complete book-

let which “should be done in the near future.” There are now concerns about the county’s and the community’s role in liability for such ventures. Routes and special events for bicyclists is also developing, with a request from Tweed that new road construction consider room for bicycle lanes. Tweed representatives on his committee reported that Rashotte’s Home Building Centre is moving to a new location, freeing up a site being eyed for a new microbrewery. The village also has a new bakery and jewellery store. The committee is also looking at a new program to offer free rent to entrepreneurs for one year. Also noted was the county’s sixth annual Tourism Awards event which is set for Oct. 23 in Bancroft in the Village Playhouse.

Brighton youth step up to fight hunger and poverty BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton — Youth here are doing what they can to help address hunger and poverty in their community and are asking Brightonians to also answer the call for help. As a member of the Leo Club, Grade 11 East Northumberland Secondary School student (ENSS) Sam Dibbits says he’s stepped up hoping he can help families that can’t afford food every week. “I think we need to help our community this way,” said Dibbits. The Leo Club recently made a donation of $500 to the Brighton Fare Share Food Bank and will host a food drive on Oct. 28, hoping they’ll make a difference for those struggling to put food on the table. “This is a very a busy time of year for us and we’re depleted from summer,” said Gracelynn Cheer, a volunteer with the Brighton food bank, as she met with students and Leos for the recent donation. As harsh as it sounds, people do tend to forget about the food bank during the summers, she said. What’s more, from January through to FOR SALE

The Brighton Leo Club recently donated $500 to the Brighton food bank. Sarah Hyatt/Metroland

March is the hardest time of the year for the food bank. And due to the lack of donations at that time, it’s almost as though volunteers are trying to play catch-up for the remainder of the year. More and more families are struggling,

said Pat Artkin, another volunteer for the food bank. The working poor is growing and “we can’t keep up.” And that’s why every dollar and donation counts. The Leo Club (which is the high school FOR SALE

version of the Brighton Lions Club) is hoping its upcoming food drive can help. The drive is slated for Oct. 28, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at Mike & Lori’s No Frills. Members of the club will be at the grocery store and are asking residents to stop by and support their food bank. This isn’t the first time the Leos have helped the food bank; the youth of Brighton often are trying to support the food bank, say volunteers. To raise funds for the $500 recently donated, Leo member and Grade 12 student Abby Kober said club members rotated shifts at the canteen for the lions’ bingo night. The club also raises funds through 50/50 draws, barbecues and other events, like the children’s village at Applefest. And for Kober, it doesn’t matter that she’s a high school student. It’s important all of the community is as involved as possible to help residents struggling, she said. Both Kober and Dibbits started with the club in Grade 9. They’re urging people to consider coming out for their food drive. “The more people who can come out and help, the better,” said Dibbits.

Central Hastings News journalist Brett Man dies at 72 Tweed - Former Central Hastings News correspondent Brett Mann has died. He was 72. Mr. Mann died at Moira Place, Tuesday, October 24. He had been in palliative care there for some months. He is survived by daughters Alison Wilson and Naomi James, grandchildren Abi and Curtis, his brother Bradley, cousins Sheila Carr, Eileen Meunier and extended family. Mr. Mann, who lived in the Belleville area for much of his life, covered local stories for the Central Hastings News for a number of years and, more recently, contributed a column on religious matters for the Tweed News. “Brett was an exceptionally dedicated correspondent for us in the Tweed area,” said Central Hastings News managing editor Chris Malette, “especially in the area of community news stories. Never one for the ‘hard news’ stories, Brett instead shone in telling stories of community groups and individuals who made a difference in the community. He was a good man, a good reporter and will be missed by all here and, we’re sure, in the Tweed community.” Brett Mann. In keeping with Mr. Mann’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a remembrance service will be held at a later date.

Hydro One has informed its consumers that in December it will be using a new bill format tested on thousands and based on science. It gave a website/URL where we can review the new format and compare it to the current format. Here is a copy of an email I sent to Hydro One in response. Subject: You say our “feedback drives you to serve us better?” Re: The New Statement style coming out in December. How can you possibly believe that your customers will approve of The New Statement coming out in December? Do you think we are all morons? The new statement will NOT be more informative than the Current Statement format, which gives consumers so much more information, like the number of days in the current bill as compared to the number of days in the same period last year, and the Average Daily Electricity Use (kWh)? I like the current statement; why are you really tampering with it, when it tells me how I am doing in terms of time of use, on-peak, mid-peak, and off-peak? That information will be missing from the new statement??? How is that an improvement? Who cares about the new section: What do I need to know? This is all stale in-

formation. How many times are you going to insult our intelligence by telling us about the province’s refund of their portion of the HST? Is this a hydro bill or is it political advertising for the provincial Liberals? Please, let me keep the current statement. I do NOT want this idiotic new statement. It seems to me to be pure unadulterated hogwash that this new statement was tested by thousands of customers, as you claim. I do not believe this nonsense for one minute. This is simply another of Hydro One’s moves “to serve us better,” like the banks say every time they close corner branches and amalgamate smaller branches into bigger branches to save money for themselves. You guys fool no one. This new statement is certainly not built on science, as you claim it is, but on Hydro One’s own needs. You just don’t get customer service, do you? All you get is the need to PRETEND that you are interested in serving us better. Yes, Mayo Schmidt, you are genuinely “seeking to understand the needs of your customers.” NOT! Leave the bill format alone. Richard A. Dominico Marmora
