Loyalist nursing program gets perfect score on exam Belleville – Loyalist College Practical Nursing graduates who wrote the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Exam (CPNRE) in May and June were 100 percent successful. The registration exam must be taken in order for a nurse to practise in Ontario. All 21 Loyalist candidates scored at or above the provincial and national averages in each category assessed. It’s great news for college officials, who are promoting the program as a great training ground for nurses. “We are incredibly proud of the accomplishments of our Practical Nursing students,” said Dean of Health, Human and Justice Studies June MacDonald-Jenkins. “The faculty goes above and beyond to provide a highly engaging and inspiring learning environment with personalized instruction in clinical

labs and groups. Their real-world methodology and mentorship prepare students for a rigorous eightweek integrated clinical practicum where they demonstrate critical thinking, practise judgment and decision making, and apply all the aspects of care associated with the RPN role in Ontario.” Over the course of their two-year Ontario College Diploma program, Practical Nursing students are routinely tested. They take a four-hour comprehensive mock-exam, consisting of 200 multiple choice questions, which mimics the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Exam. This exam is written three times a year. Due to demand, Loyalist is now accepting January intake applications for its Practical Nursing program. For more information, visit loyalistcollege.com.

That being said, Bentley will not be collecting candy this year when he makes the rounds tick or treating. “Bentley’s two-and-a-half, he doesn’t really need candy,” said White. “In lieu of candy we’re just going to ask for donations of any amount and we’re going to be donating that to the Gord Downie brain cancer foundation through Sunnybrook Hospital.” The Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research will give Sunnybrook the tools to help beat brain cancers that are currently unbeatable, states the donation page at donate. sunnybrook.ca.

It’s even receiving recognition from The Tragically Hip on Facebook. “It’s pretty overwhelming actually,” said White, about the online response they’ve received. “So much love and everyone is really welcoming it with open arms, it’s great.” White said she came up with the costume idea when she was watching The Tragically Hip’s final concert in August in Kingston on TV with her husband, Adam Davidson. “I just thought that maybe it would be an awesome experience if we dressed Bentley up as Gord for Halloween and we asked (Bentley) Two-and-a-half-year old Bentley Davidson decked out in his impeccable Gord Downie cos- and he said yes.

OPINION

Sometimes Trump is right Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Donald J. Trump’s record is not that good, but he does get it right once in a while. He got it right on Tuesday, when he said that Hillary Gwynne Dyer Clinton would be dangerously agressive in Syria if she wins the presidency. Trump went too far, of course. He always does. He claimed that Clinton would trigger World War Three with her Syrian policy, which is utter nonsense. Even a new Cold War is hard to imagine. The Russians know that they would lose it in only a few years, so they would refuse to play their allotted role in any such scenario. What Trump actually said, in an interview conducted in his Florida golf resort between bites of fried egg and sausages, was that the United States should focus on defeating ISIS. “We should not be focusing on Syria. You’re going to end up in World War Three over Syria if we listen to Hillary Clinton.” The Clinton policy in question is her promise (repeated in the third debate) to declare a no-fly zone and “safe zones” on the ground in Syria to protect non-combatants. Those zones, of course, would deny the Syrian government the chance to recover the territory it has lost to the rebels, and deprive the Russian air force of the ability to help it in that task. But what if the Syrians and the Russians don’t accept that the United States has the right to set up no-fly zones on Syrian territory just because it feels like it? What if they send their planes into those zones and dare the US air force to shoot them down? Then the US has to choose between backing down and being publicly humiliated – or shooting down Russian aircraft and (according to Trump) starting World War Three. “You’re not fighting Syria any more, you’re fighting Syria, Russia and Iran, all right?” Trump explained. If Hillary Clinton set up her no-fly zones and “safe zones”, she would be asking for a war with Russia. She would indeed be asking for it – but she knows that she probably would not get it. The Russians might shoot down a few American planes in response, and the United Nations would plead with both sides to show restraint. By then both sides would

Quinte West News

be sufficiently frightened that they would be all too happy to back away from their confrontation. The Russians would be especially happy to do so, because they know perfectly well that they could not win a war with the United States. Even leaving aside the question of nuclear weapons (which make such a war unthinkable), Russia is simply not a credible rival to the United States any more: it has half the population of the former Soviet Union, and an economy onetenth the size of the United States. So Clinton would not really be courting World War Three if she did what she has promised. She would, however, be doing something very reckless and stupid. After Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, the United States really does not need to get more deeply entangled in another unwinnable war in the Middle East. What Trump is advocating is actually the policy that Obama has been following over the whole five years of the Syrian civil war: concentrate on eliminating ISIS, and do not get involved in the rebel military campaign to overthrow Bashar al-Assad’s regime however much you may dislike it. No more moral crusades. Whereas Clinton, by declaring no-fly zones, would effectively be creating safe areas for the rebels to operate out of. However, the great majority of the active anti-regime fighters belong to ISIS, or to the equally extreme group that used to be called the Nusra Front and is now changing its name every week or so in an attempt to conceal its true origins as a breakaway part of Islamic State and an affiliate of alQaeda. Most of the smaller rebel groups that Washington calls “moderates” are actually less extreme Islamists who are either voluntarily allied with the Nusra Front, or in thrall to it. But the fantasy still lives in Washington that it can bring together enough genuine “moderates” to create a “third force” that defeats both the Assad regime and the extremists of ISIS and the Nusra Front. This has been the official position of the “Washington consensus” on foreign policy for five years now, and Hillary Clinton is a paid-up member of that delusionary group. If she carries through on her promises, she probably will trigger a crisis with the Russians, and she will certainly involve the United States much more deeply in the Syrian civil war. It’s almost enough to make you vote for Trump. But not quite. Vice President & Regional Publisher Peter Bishop pbishop@metroland.com 613-283-3182 Ext. 108

An election best left in the rear view mirror Editorial by Chris Malette Never has there been a campaign like it. Nowhere on this continent can anyone recall or cite a battle for the highest elected office in the United States as low-down and dirty as that which has pitted Hillary Rodham Clinton against the reality TV star and hotel developer Donald Trump. Everyone from scholars to coffee shop commentators to barstool profits are chiming in on just how horrid the whole thing – that thankfully comes to an end next Tuesday – has been. From an Oct. 31 Associated Press story on the vitriolic campaign that may set the tone for all that follow, scholars are now marvelling at the train wreck that has become American politics. Princeton historian Julian Zelizer said the toxicity of the campaign will be remembered not simply as a fluke wrought by the Trump phenomenon, but as part of a trend. “More and more of the electorate sees themselves as almost living in two separate worlds,” Zelizer said. “And when this happens, you tend to vilify the opponent. It’s not simply another view, it’s an intolerable view.” Toronto Star’s Washington bureau reporter Daniel Dale hit the road to Virginia to randomly ask Americans at a bakery and a Walmart what they thought of Hillary Clinton. The answers to his question are not unlike what one might see among fire-and-brimstone conservatives in Ontario when asked to comment about Kathleen Wynne. “She’s a whore,” said Jim Brewster, a 62-year-old farmer, as he walked into the bakery for some coffee. “Murderous, rotten, no-good, pious … bitch,” said Waldo Ward, a 60-something retiree, as he left Walmart with Halloween candy for the neighbourhood kids. “She should be taken out and shot. Absolutely.” Thinks it’s bad in Amurrica’s heartland? We have the same rabid left-right warfare here on so many levels. In the last federal election, one local hard right backer who veers to the libertarian, neo-conservative, Tea Party edge of the political spectrum was

kicked off the local Conservative candidate’s campaign team after intolerable Facebook posts were made public. Today, unrepentant and blaming ‘mainstream media’ and limp-wristed ‘so-called Conservatives with no spine…’ for ‘throwing me under the bus…’ the backroom worker carries on online with her blistering attacks on liberals – small and large L – calling liberalism a “death cult” and liberals/Liberals having been afflicted with “mental illness.” To descend into some of the gutter websites of the political crusaders, one risks becoming scarred by the sheer venom of the posts. It’s a reflection of just how far we’ve sunk in the political realm that we exorciate anyone in the most vicious terms who doesn’t adhere to our political views. It seems the gracious politics of just a decade or so ago is akin to recalling the ice ages, when looked at through the current mean-spirited prism of political gamesmanship. Take, as example, a letter making the rounds recently online that was recently posted by Hillary Clinton as a reminder of gentler statesmanship in the era of her husband Bill’s presidency and that of his predecessor, George H.W. Bush. On leaving office, Bush left a heartfelt note to his successor. Picture, if you could, either Trump or Hillary, for that matter, leaving such a missive for each other in that situation. Bush did not win re-election in his 1992 presidential race against Bill Clinton, but wished Clinton “good luck.” “I wish you great happiness here,” Bush wrote on Jan 20, 1993. “You will be our president when you read this note. I wish you well. I wish your family well.” It’s a mug’s game to wistfully insist things “were better back in the day…” but in the glare of the harsh, bitter edge to politics today, one could be forgiven for citing that hoary old claim. Politics can indeed be a blood sport. But, now even the spectators are in the ring, armed with a keyboard and hate in their hearts.

Boo! Witches, superheroes, hamburgers and more attend 35th annual Boofest BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – Trick or treat! Thousands of children put on their best Halloween costumes and visited Trenton’s 35th annual Boofest from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Halloween. Crafts, candy, music, games, skating and more, Boofest is billed as a safe alternative or addition to trick or treating and a fun-filled evening for families at the Duncan McDonald Memorial Gardens. Denise Wheeler said she has brought her daughter to Boofest for the past seven years and they love it. “It’s an awesome night, the weather’s awesome, we come to Boofest every year,” she said. “It’s a great place for the kids to just run around, it’s safe, we just love coming here

every year.” Wheeler said the safety of Boofest really appeals to her and her daughter has so much fun with the games, glow sticks and playing with her friends. Colleen Vickers, special events co-ordinator with the city of Quinte West, said the 35th annual event was amazing and people started lining up about an hour before the doors opened. “We’ve had probably about 3,000 people come through, it just keeps growing every year because it’s obviously a safe alternative to being out on the dark streets and you don’t have to contend with the weather,” she said. The free event is put on because of community donations, said Vickers, from many local businesses and service clubs. “Every year they 3-year-old Skyler Giordano rocks his hamburger costume at the 35th annual Boofest at the Duncan come out and we McDonald Memorial Gardens on Halloween.

Prescription to exercise, doctor’s orders BY ERIN STEWART

Belleville – A new health care prescription has made its way to the Quinte region; it’s not actual medicine, but a 60-day pass to the YMCA to get people moving. The Quinte West and Belleville YMCA have launched “The Prescription to Physical Activity to Better Health” initiative, in partnership with the Department of Family Medicine Queen’s Family Health Team, Belleville Nurse Practitioners and the Belleville and Quinte West Community Health Centre, to promote the importance of regular activity through utilizing prescriptions. Health care providers through the three partnerships can now prescribe physical activity through the 60-day YMCA trial period to patients who would like to change their lifestyle or could use some more exercise. Bianca Sclippa-Barrett, health promoter at the Belleville and Quinte West Community Health Centre, said the centre is excited to be involved in the new initiative during the project’s launch at the Belleville YMCA on Wednesday Oct. 26.

“We certainly work at providing a holistic approach to health care and this partnership allows us to provide more than good advice when it comes to physical activity,” she said. “It helps people get the access that they need, the tools and support that they need to make positive changes in their lives,” said Sclippa-Barrett. “So the Prescription to Health program will help leverage the different strengths and resources here in our community to benefit the whole community and definitely a big win-win for us all.” The Prescription aims to tackle the growing problem of sedentary lifestyles by addressing the common barriers of motivation and access. David Allan, President and CEO for the YMCA of Central East Ontario, said people who receive a prescription through the health care providers at the programs partners will be we welcomed to the YMCA with a tour and scheduled an appointment with a trainer who will help explore interests, personal goals, demonstrations and more. “When somebody gets something from their doctor, they tend to take advantage of

that and will use that and realize there’s a need,” he said. “So it’s up to us then to make sure that they are welcome and given the opportunity to succeed.” The key is involvement, said Allan. “We are committed to building healthy communities… making sure that people are given the opportunity to do the things they want to do that will change their life.” He said. “If they want to swim they can swim, if they want to use the treadmill we will teach them how to use the treadmill, if they want to attend classes, they can attend classes.” The program was initially launched as David Allan, President and CEO for the YMCA a pilot project in Peterborough, said Al- of Central East Ontario, at “The Prescription to Physical Activity to Better Health” initiative lan, and had a great response.

1st Canadian Division stages civilian evacuation exercise

BY ROSS LEES

Lt.-Col. Dejacolyn noted that Canadians are asked to register with GAC when travelling abroad for this very reason. If rapid government deterioration takes place and Canada needs to respond to get Canadians out, it helps immensely if they have some idea how many Canadians may need assistance. “By registering with GAC, it assists us to know who is there and in what numbers so we can tailor our response,” he said. That tailored response may also come as part of larger overall response in concert with other countries also trying to get their citizens out. Local resources may have to be shared and the military wants to have the right equipment on hand to remove their citizens to a safe haven for further staging. In last week’s exercise, those people were staged to the Armouries in Belleville and other areas of Prince Edward County.

CFB Trenton - Exercise Ready Angle 2016, conduct last week in the Quinte region, was staged to allow the role players in the exercise to synchronize their efforts with Global Affairs Canada (GAC) during a training exercise of a non-combatant evacuation operation (NEO). Exercises of this nature are conducted regularly by all the organizations involved to demonstrate how evacuation of Canadians and selected non-Canadians might take place from threatening circumstances in a foreign affected nation, according to Lieutenant- Colonel (Lt.-Col.) Tony Dejacolyn, the exercise director. Practising these scenarios is important because this type of incident does not occur often, Lt.-Col. Dejacolyn stated, noting that the last time they were called on was in Libya in 2011. “It gives us the chance to work the kinks out of a plan and make it as ready as possible for the real thing,” stated MajorGeneral Omer Lavoi, the Commander of 1st Canadian Division.

Maj.-Gen. Lavoi pointed out that the military needs to be involved in this type of exercise first for the coordinated response with the proper equipment and personnel, but also for the interoperability aspect. “We can sometimes be going into complex situations where the Canadian military may not be in charge and where they may want to come back under good circumstances,” he explained. “It’s very important to get it right the first time.”

Belleville Senators appoint Rob Mullowney as chief operating officer Belleville – Experienced hockey executive Rob Mullowney will be moving from The Rock to the Friendly City. Mullowney has been hired by Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk to serve as the inaugural Chief Operation Officer of the Belleville Senators American Hockey League franchise. Mullowney currently serves as the vice-president of operations for the Montreal Canadiens’ AHL affiliate, the St. John’s IceCaps. In order to ensure a proper transition, Mullowney’s appointment to the Belleville Senators will take effect Jan. 3, 2017. The new Belleville Senators AHL franchise will begin play in the 2017-18 season out of a newly-renovated Yardmen Arena. “We are extremely pleased to welcome Rob to the Senators family,” said Melnyk, in a statement. “Professional hockey is coming to Belleville and I am committed to ensuring we bring an equivalent calibre of talent to the business side or our organization. “Rob is recognized as one of the top executives in the American Hockey League and reaffirms my commitment to make our hockey team an integral part of the city and the local economy.” Mullowney has worked 12 years in the AHL with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Winnipeg Jets and the Montreal Canadiens affiliates. During his five seasons with the IceCaps, Mullowney has played a key role in making the team a league leader in all revenue categories. Over that period the IceCaps have also been recognized by the AHL for excellence in sponsorship sales,

sponsorship activation, group sales, marketing, community engagement and game operations. In 2013 Mullowney was named the winner of the AHL’s Ken Mackenzie Award, presented annually to the league’s top marketing executive. In 2014 the IceCaps were presented with the President’s Award as the Team of the Year for excellence in overall operations of a franchise. Mullowney’s career highlights also include working on the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and being part of the award-winning sponsorship and marketing team of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games that raised a record $760 million in sponsorship. After the 2010 Winter Games Mullowney helped found the Twentyten Group, a premiere sports marketing firm in Canada where he advised clients such as the International Olympic Committee, Vancouver WhiteCaps, University of Victoria and Whistler Blackcomb. Mullowney holds a Master’s Degree in Sport Management and currently serves as the volunteer president of the St. John’s Legends Swim Club.

Quinte West offers free public skating all season long BY ERIN STEWART

Quinte West – Get ready to sharpen up your blades, Quinte West is hoping residents will get some good use out of their skates this season with free public skating. In an effort to provide more accessible physical activity opportunities for people of all ages, Quinte West city council has announced that public skating in Trenton and Frankford will be free for the entire season. People are encouraged to bring along a non-perishable item for the local food bank instead. “I hope the citizens support this initiative that the City has taken to open up Public Skating Free to all. What better activity to promote a healthy lifestyle in a controlled, safe environment and help our local food bank at the same time,” said Bob Forder, Manager of Buildings and Facilities, City of Quinte West. Trenton’s Duncan Memorial Community Gardens will offer free public skating on Saturdays from 7:30-8:30 p.m., Sundays from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and Tuesdays from 1-2 p.m. There are some exceptions.

It was a trip to COSSA for girls’ rugby powerhouses Trenton and Bayside earlier this week (past our editorial deadline Tuesday), but a pair of gritty matches took place on the frozen tundra of MA Sills 2 artificial turf in Belleville last Thursday to determine bragging rights for Bay of Quinte champions. In the senior gold medal match, Trenton fell to Bayside XX on a last-play try. In the junior match, another TrentonBayside tilt, a see-saw battle ended with a 12-12 draw in regulation, a scoreless overtime period and a series of kicks to determine the win – a 15-12 victory for Trenton. Here, Trenton Tiger Chloe Atienza breaks for open ground with a posse of Bayside She Devils in pursuit. Chris Malette/Metroland

Campbellford seniors, juniors playing for championship

D A E R P S E

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford – The Flames hope to make history this week. Campbellford District High School’s junior and senior six-man football teams are in the East Regional finals, the first time that’s happened, and both will be looking to return home with a championship. The seniors advanced by defeating Bayside Secondary School 3830 while the juniors followed suit by downing Bancroft 30-14. The seniors play Bancroft and the juniors St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in the finals. This will be the third year in a row the juniors have made it to the championship match. The seniors’ appearance in the final will be their first. “We’re pretty excited,” coach Seijo Saito. “We know we can beat Bancroft. We just have to have a complete game from start to finish, and we should do well.”

D R WO

CDHS lost 24-12 to Bancroft in the season opener on “a couple of mistakes,” Saito said. “One was not being able to score from the one-yard line and another was a kickoff return for a touchdown. We’ve gotten a lot better since then.” Saito said the two teams have benefited from having players who developed their football skills while in elementary school playing for the Trent Hills Titans in the Belleville Minor Football League. The Titans won the league for the second time in three years in June. As the only teacher supervisor among the coaching staff for both teams, he’s grateful for the involvement of the other coaches. “If we didn’t have the community volunteers we wouldn’t have the program,” he said. They’re “very valuable to the program continuing at our school (and) we’ve seen great growth in it.” Henry Zelasko and Jack Greben assist Saito while Joe Brouwers, Stu Budgell, Glenn Gratton and Alex Brouwers are in charge of the junior team.

Trenton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Trenton Golden Hawks came out on top against the Wellington Dukes on Friday Oct. 28. More than 1,000 fans packed Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Duncan McDonald Memorial Community Gardens to watch the rival teams battle it out. Both teams came out strong in the first period, the Hawks putting up 11 shots on net and the Dukes 10, but the Dukes found the back of the net and were up 1-0 by the end of the first on a goal scored by Mitchell Mendonca, assisted by Colin Doyle and Carter Allen. The G-Hawks picked up the pace in the second period and outshot the Dukes 14-8. Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Michael Silveri scored two goals in the second, the first assisted by Liam Morgan and co-captain Lucas Brown 4:44 into the period. Silveri scored his second goal with 10 seconds left in the period, assisted by Morgan and Brandon Marinelli. In an effort to tie the game, the Dukes pulled their goalie but to no avail. Morgan scored on the open net with 10 seconds left in the game, assisted by Silveri and Marinelli, bringing the final 3-1 for the Hawks. Wellington totalled five minutes in penalties on two infractions while Trenton tallied nine minutes on four infractions. Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goalie Chris Janzen made 29 saves out of 30 shots and Wellingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Connor Ryckman made 37 saves on 39 shots. G-Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; assistant coach Kevin Forrest said he felt the guys played one of their best

games as a team this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We asked them to play tighter defence, limit the scoring chances against and manage the puck a lot better than we have the past few games,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The players definitely responded well to that and put together a great and complete game against a tough team with one of the best offensive lines in the league.â&#x20AC;? The Trenton Golden Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; win against the Wellington Dukes was also the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 250th regular season win under its present ownership, a great milestone said Forrest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels great to get the 250th regular season win for the current ownership group, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done so much for the team and the community so it was great to see the players come up with a solid game and achieve such a significant milestone like that for them.â&#x20AC;?

Students from St. Theresa get a PM moment on the Hill Belleville - It had all the makings of a standard tour of Parliament Hill until a certain prime minister showed up. Neil Ellis, Member of Parliament for Bay of Quinte hosted teachers Teressa Krentz and Sean Simpson and their Grade 10 civics class from St. Theresa Catholic Secondary School at Parliament Hill, last Wednesday, Oct. 26. The group was greeted upon arrival by Ellis who personally provided a tour of Parliament. While on tour, the students had the opportunity to meet U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Jeh Charles Thompson and U.S. Ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman, who generously

took time to stop and speak with several students. To cap off what was a wonderful visit MP Ellis arranged a surprise meeting between the students and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “What better way to inspire and foster a connection between young people and the government than by hosting them at Parliament Hill and allowing them the opportunity to forge a personal connection to our nation’s leaders and political system,” said Ellis. “I firmly believe that as a politician it is my responsibility to help inspire an interest in politics with young people and foster that interest by engaging them in a meaningful way on an ongoing basis.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took a few minutes to speak with students from St. Theresa Secondary School on a recent tour of Parliament with MP Neil Ellis, left.

Paramedics receive awards at County Council BY JACK EVANS

Presentation of awards for various paramedic activities and achievements occupied several minutes of time at Thursday’s meeting of Hastings County Council. One was an award recognizing life-saving efforts of staff members at Prince Charles School in Belleville in an incident on Sept. 13, when a volunteer baseball coach suffered a cardiac arrest. A defibrillator device as well as other revival methods were quickly applied with the device inside the school and a 911 call to From left: Paramedics Chief Doug Socha, Todd Lamorre, Warden Rick Phillips and Mike Emergency Services brought quick response. The incredible efforts were successful and Slatter. The Paramedics received the Governor General’s Award for “Exemplary Service.” Jack Evans/Metroland Rex Somerville was revived.

He and family members plus the staff and volunteers who helped with the efforts were recognized with certificates presented by Doug Socha on behalf of Hastings-Quinte Emergency Services and Warden Rick Phillips for the county. Speaking for the family, Rex’s brother, Dan, himself a professional firefighter, expressed gratitude for the presence of mind and skills that saved the life of his brother. It was a “happy-ending story” he said. Also recognized were two paramedics recently presented with the Governor General’s Exemplary Service Award. They are Todd Lamorre and Mike Slatter, deputy chief of quality and development.

Congregations vote to close two of three churches BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – The congregations of three local churches voted to close the doors of two leaving a third for their Sunday service. Dwindling numbers of parishioners and the bottom line are what made this choice necessary. “These congregations chose life and chose to continue on and that is the most important message about all of this,” said Rev. Cathy Gradante, the pastor for all three. “It’s sad that they are closing . . . the physical structures were not being used as they were back in the 1950s and ‘60s, all the bustling . . . but the congregations chose to continue on, chose to be about community,” she explained. Parishioners of Stanwood United Church and Tabernacle United Church (also known as English Line United Church), are now attending Sunday services at Hoards United Church, now called Seymour United Church Pastoral Charge. The service has been held at Seymour church since January, but a closing ceremony for the Stanwood church building, which is about 112 years old, was held Sept. 25. “We had a baptism at the end of that service so we ended on a note of celebration and joy and new life. It was important for everyone to have a balance. You can’t just be all sad so we had some moments of memories and tears,” said Rev. Gradante. Both church buildings will be sold. The money will be used to keep Seymour church maintained and as well provide some much-needed upgrade including accessibility. That building is newer, dating back to the 1950s. “As long as congregation is still functioning they keep the money,” said Rev. Gradante, who has been pastor for the three churches since 2012. “Churches are struggling everywhere, not just here,” she noted. The local Presbyterian churches and Catholic churches are also undergoing changes and closures are not out of the question. “Financial implications are critical in all of this,” noted Rev. Gradante. The closing ceremony for Tabernacle church, which is about 125 years old, will be held Oct. 30. B2 Section B - Thursday, November 3, 2016

Quinte Grannies mark 10 years of fun and fundraising Belleville – It’s been a decade of fun and activism for one group of local grandmothers, members of which have spent that 10 years raising funds for those in need half a world away. On Oct 25, more than 60 local Grannies and their supporters, known as Grandothers, gathered at a downtown Belleville restaurant for a Celebration Dinner marking their 10th anniversary. Tributes were paid to Win Perryman, Dorothy DaviesFlindall, Bernice Hassay, the three women who founded the Quinte Grannies for Africa in 2006 and congratulatory messages from local MPs, MPPs and Mayors were shared. In 2006, a call went out from The Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF) to grandmothers across Canada to join together in solidarity with African grandmothers affected by the ravages of HIV/AIDS epidemic. The result of HIV/AIDS has had an impact on millions of African grandmothers, stealing their children and leaving them to raise their orphaned grandchildren, most often with few resources and little support. And so the Grandmother to Grandmother Campaign was initiated. SLF provides grassroots support, both material and emotional, that is so desperately needed in sub-Saharan Africa. Since 2006 “the Grannies” have increased greatly in numbers, both locally and

across Canada, where there are now over 240 grannies groups. The local group has about 35 active members, who have raised awareness of HIV/AIDS and its impact on African grandmothers, advocated on their behalf for medication to treat HIV/ AIDS, and raised funds to provide financial assistance. Over the past ten years Quinte Grannies for Africa has raised over $270,000.00 for SLF. A visual history of Granny events and activities from the last ten years was presented that showed the commitment of Quinte Grannies for Africa to achieve their goals in many different ways such as jewelry sales, dessert bridges, fashion shows, calendar projects, harvest marketplaces. Guest and special friend to the Grannies singer/songwriter, Jeanette Arsenault, was recognized and made an honorary Quinte Granny for her ongoing commitment to the Quinte Grannies for Africa. She has recently written an inspiring song for the group called “Grandmothers Rising” which she sang to close out the evening. Grannies rose from their seats to dance with her in celebration. As the Quinte Gran-

nies look to the future, their goals remain the same, to continue their support of the remarkable African grandmothers as they move forward beyond the basic necessities and to seek justice in areas such as land and inheritance rights. We welcome new members. If you are interested in joining Quinte Grannies for Africa and the work they do for the Stephen Lewis Foundation, email quintegrannies@hot- Shown here at the recent 10-year celebration dinner, Quinte Grannies for Africa founders from left are: Bernice Hassay, Win Perryman and Dorothy Davies-Flindall. mail.com Submitted photo

Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chamber music outreach program coming to schools BY SUE DICKENS

Belleville â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An outreach program by the Quinte Society for Chamber Music (QSCM) is hitting all the right notes as it brings the elements of musical expression to a school near you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Society is working hard at designing educational outreach programs that allow everyone to learn a little bit more about what the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wordsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the musical sentences actually mean, and the significance of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; they tell.â&#x20AC;? That is the announcement on the Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page, and it is a focus for the committee, which already has plans in place for November. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our outreach program is essentially all about bringing classical music to places where no string quartet has gone before,â&#x20AC;? explained Bonnie Sallans of the Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this case, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a string quartet but violin-piano duo, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have quite the same rhythm when you say it.â&#x20AC;? All of this comes on the heels of the QSCMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation of Sebastian Sallans with pianist Todd Yaniw in a perfor-

mance at Stirlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church on Nov. 19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Besides, soon a string quartet will be involved,â&#x20AC;? she said, offering a hint of what the future will bring. The November outreach will involve three schools in Trenton, Belleville and Prince Edward County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In each of these schools, we will be talking to different classes,â&#x20AC;? she explained. Trenton is a vocal class where the students have little or no experience of classical music. In Picton, the Society may be visiting a class of non-music students â&#x20AC;&#x153;who will have probably no experienceâ&#x20AC;?, she said, as well as a music class. The group at Centennial is a little different, she noted, as Centennial Secondary School in Belleville is a performance school with music students, many of whom are contemplating a professional career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important for us to reach out to young people from all these backgrounds, as we want to encourage music students to explore classical music,â&#x20AC;?she said.

The Society is focusing on high school right now, although it is also possible they may develop a program appropriate to the middle school level as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also want to give those already interested some contact with professional musicians already working in the field,â&#x20AC;? Sallans said. It is essential to the Society, she pointed out, to give those who have never had the opportunity to consider listening to classical music the chance to hear it played, and played well, by people standing right there in front of them and with whom they can have conversation when the music stops.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is our hope to also be able to take this program to the high school in Madoc and then Bancroft, in the Hastings Prince Edward board, and then reach out to Campbellford,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Loyalist among colleges tackling climate change Belleville â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colleges, including Loyalist, are playing a leading role in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to tackle climate change, says a newly released report. The report, Moving to Net Zero: Colleges Leading the Way, highlights the 24 collegesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; achievements in everything from leading-edge research that promotes energy efficiency to the development of programs that prepare increasing numbers of graduates for careers in areas such as renewable energy and sustainable building construction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doing our part to improve the health of the planet is a priority,â&#x20AC;? said Dianne Spencer, Interim President, Loyalist College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Loyalist, we are firmly committed to the global effort to fight climate change.â&#x20AC;? The report documents achievements in five areas: research, community leadership, college programs, transportation and campus upgrades. The examples in the report confirm that all 24 colleges are playing an active part in the effort to reduce the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carbon footprint.

For example, it highlights Loyalist Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new carpooling program, which encourages students and staff to travel together to reduce carbon emissions. Each day, the first 24 carpool groups (vehicles with two or more people) who register with the front gate are granted oneday free designated parking privileges. Last year, Loyalist completed the STARS (Sustainability, Tracking, Assessment & Rating System) program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a voluntary assessment for higher education institutions. The result: A Bronze rating for the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustainability performance and recommendations for improvements, which are being led by Loyalistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sustainability Coordinator and Committee. During the last several years, the college has reduced its carbon footprint through policies and projects, such as Residence composting, LED lighting upgrades, building automation system efficiencies, light and faucet motion sensors, and most recently, centralized waste stations for increased recycling.

Trenton woman wins $1 million

Trenton woman Sarah-Ellen Payne with her big winning cheque. OLG photo

Quinte West - Trenton’s Sarah-Ellen Payne won $1 million in a recent Lotto Max MaxMillions draw. “I checked my lottery numbers online,” said Payne while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto where she picked up her winnings. “All six numbers matched up! I was shocked as I couldn’t believe it.” The 29 year old called her mom after the September 9 win to share to good news. “She seemed more excited than I was. I was feeling over-

whelmed.” Payne said she has big plans for her windfall. “I already bought a car and I plan to share some of my winnings with family. I was thinking about buying a new house. Plus, my boyfriend and I will be taking the kids to Disney world! This win gives me the freedom to do things that I couldn’t do before,” she said. The winning ticket was purchased at Price’s Variety on Byron Street in Trenton.

County rejects forestry protection BY JACK EVANS

If the grandchildren of today’s Hastings County council members start to wonder where their forest industry went, they can look to their ancestors. After two years of study and consultation and genuine concerns by several council members at uncontrolled stripping of prime forest resources, often from out-of-area interests, council Thursday overwhelmingly voted against a bylaw designed to remedy those concerns. The situation may have been nothing more than the question raised by Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline: “Must it be a county bylaw? Why can’t a municipality pass it?” But, the bylaw was a cornerstone of a major new official plan the county’s planning staff has been working on for literally years and stemmed from concern by some members about irresponsible harvesting that had been targeted to be include in that plan going back about two years. Council also faced three letters from landowners condemning the proposed bylaw as unnecessary further meddling in private property and costs of enforcing the new bylaw, estimated at up to $60,000 a year once the proposed bylaw would take effect next summer. Some members expressed doubts that the incidents of bad harvesting were exaggerated. Also, it represented just one more burden of interference in what owners do on their own properties. Council also heard a lengthy appeal from Jim Pedersen representing the county’s Stewardship Committee, who was one of the resource people involved in the bylaw consultations. Himself a forest lot owner as well as a professional forester, he contended that irresponsible harvesting was far more widespread than many realize and if not controlled could threaten

the county’s valuable forest industry in the long term, an industry that provides at least 100 or more good paying jobs. “It costs a lot more to restore a hardwood forest than it does to preserve it,” he said. He noted that the bylaw excludes any property smaller than 10 acres, cutting for domestic heating use or building or road construction areas. He also noted that woodlot owners qualify for a 75 per cent discount on taxes for “managed” forest lands, providing they abide by the program, but many are not enrolled. He argued the bylaw will “make things better for all in the long term. Please, pass this bylaw,” he appealed. Often referred to as a “tree cutting bylaw” to prevent poor harvesting methods, such bylaws are already in place in neighbouring Northumberland County, also in Haliburton. Mayor Vivian Bloom of Hastings Highlands, chair of the Planning Committee, said she supported the concept of such a bylaw , but the conditions imposed on landowners for permits and fees were too obstructive. “I had hoped we could take more time and make some changes first,” she said in a telephone interview. “The planning staff did not agree so the only thing I could see to do was lobby to defeat it.” She had doubts that a renewed approach to present a new bylaw was likely. She added that much of the concern that sparked the bylaw came from people who did not check the facts about forestry before complaining to the news media and council members. She agreed with reports that major companies target Hastings County because they know there are no regulations. “In a way, I’m sorry we couldn’t pass it, but it would have to be modified first,” she concluded.

A big old thank-you from BGH Foundation Belleville - It was a night to say thanks – thanks for the millions of dollars needed to equip Belleville General Hospital with state-of-the-art equipment such as a new MRI imaging machine. Representatives from Metroland Media Seaway Group joined dozens of others last week in basking in the gratitude of the hospital board, staff and foundation, responsible for capital fundraising initiatives. Metroland was recognized as a “Founder” in the donor categorizations, emblematic of having donated almost $95,000 toward varous campaigns for fundraising at Belleville General. At Wednesday’s event, Patricia Guernsey, vice-chair of the BGH Foundation board, told the more than 100 people assembled it was their support that helps make care better in the Quinte area, noting Ontario hospitals do not receive funding to purchase equipment or perform physical renovations to hospitals. “We could not do this without you,” said Guernsey. “Equipment has been purchased, diagnoses has been made, treatment delivered, suffering has been alleviated and lives have been saved all because of you. “Doctors and nurses have chosen to locate here in part because of the equipment that we have, and that we can provide the best care possible.”

Metroland general manager Gavin Beer, foreground, prepares to mount a plaque recognizing Metroland Media as a Founder donor to the Belleville General Hospital Foundation. He’s joined by BGH Foundation executive director Drew Brown. Chris Malette/Metroland

Habitat group seeks more county help, describes expansion plans BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - “More homes for more families more often” is the new slogan for the Quinte area’s Habitat for Humanity group under the leadership of former automotive dealer Bob Clute. Acknowledging to Hastings County Council Thursday that the county had already given a hefty loan of $250,000 over five years under its social housing program, he said his agency will need even more to meet its goal. He introduced Anita Ramji, a single mother with two children and a recent beneficiary of the Habitat program, to illustrate the value.

“It was a life-changing experience for me,” she said. “It had been an impossible dream to even think of a home of my own, but now it has come true. I get my children off to school and I’m home for them to preparer a good supper and help with homework.” Clute related how the program had been building one or two houses a year. But his goal was to increase that sharply, so the past two years have seen four to five houses built. But with increased costs of construction and therefore mortgage payments, more funds are need and he asked the county to help. His request will be studied later in committee meetings.

BY JACK EVANS

Tyendinaga Reeve Rick Philllips has seemed like a fixture after having served as warden of Hastings County for the past four- and-half years. That is a record for a county that for many years refused to allow wardens to sit for more than one term. But for the annual nominations for warden at Thursday’s meeting of county council, only one name was put forth - Mayor Rodney Cooney of Stirling-Rawdon. Formal confirmation of the new position will take place at the November meeting of council with induction early in December. “I think it would be selfish of me to take on another term,” said Phillips. “I felt it was time to give someone else a chance. It has been a great experience, but I’ll still be on council and looking forward to taking it a bit easier.” Phillips was named warden when he took over mid-term for a warden who had to resign for health reasons, then stayed on for three more terms with solid support from his fellow county council members.

TRAVEL

Exploring Sedona’s incredible Red Rock Country

TICO#50007364

Arizona seems to be attracting a lot of Canadian snowbirds, particularly from western Canada, so I decided to check it out. After all, it’s the Grand Canyon state, and that in itself is a pretty strong tourist magnet. However, after my trip, I’ve decided that any visit to this picturesque state should also include a visit to Sedona’s Red Rock Country. It’s, indeed, particularly special! If you’re driving south from the Grand Canyon, the states #1 tourist attraction, you’ll drive on route #89A, through the spectacular Oak Creek Canyon, to get to Sedona. You’ll encounter some steep switchbacks as you descend into this narrow, colourful gorge, passing through a thick pine forest, and you’ll eventually arrive at Sedona itself, the state’s second most popular tourist area. Sedona is so very popular because of its awesome red rocks, with their many unusual and striking formations, and because of the great variety of ways that are offered to the tourist for exploring this spectacular area. For example, upon arrival, the first thing that I’d do is take a trolley ride through town, for I found that this was a great way to ‘get my bearings’ and to decide what were some of the areas that I just had to check out for myself in more depth. I’d also be quick to book an off-road jeep or Hummer tour of this Red Rock Country, for these seem to be the most popular ways to explore the Sedona area. It’s also possible to go hiking, cycling, horseback riding, hot air ballooning, or even flightseeing. Furthermore, you can decide to explore this area by train, bus, or Segway, and there are vortex tours, wine tours, and/or astronomy tours. Yes, there are many ways to get around and explore – and the great variety of restaurants and accommodations offer the tourist plenty of options, too. For example,

for dining, I’d check out such places as the Mariposa Latin Inspired Grill (try its fish sandwich special for lunch), Golden Goose American Grill (try its chicken tortellini), and/ or Sound Bites Grill (this modern day supper club is located at the Hyatt, and I enjoyed a fantastic lobster dish here). For accommodations, I stayed at two different properties, and both were great: the Sedona Rouge Hotel & Spa (on the west side), with its very own red rock viewing and stargazing terrace and the Best Western Plus Arroyo Roble (the tallest building in uptown, and it also offers wonderful, unobstructed views). Some of the not-to-be missed attractions include such enthralling rock structures as Courthouse Butte, Cathedral Rock, Chimney Rock, Madonna and Child, Two Nuns, Coffeepot Rock, Castle Rock, and Bell Rock. One of the most famous man-made structures is the Chapel of the Holy Cross. It’s a Roman Catholic chapel that’s built right into Sedona’s rocks, so I, of course, had to tour this fascinating building (it’s open to the public), and I could view many of those aforementioned rock structures from this very site. I could also see an awesome mansion just below this hill, and I was told that it was seldom used but was valued at more than $20 million (there’s apparently even a waterfall built inside this house!). Indeed, Sedona’s popularity had led to some interesting buildings and some expensive real estate! The Sedona area also offers two awesome state parks, and I’d recommend a visit to them both. The Red Rock State Park features a red sandstone canyon and some fascinating hiking trails. Its naturalistled “Full Moon Hike” is particularly popular, and you can witness a sunset and moonrise from an enticing overlook while on this two-hour hike. The other state park, Slide Rock State Park, takes its name from a natural water slide that has been formed by

A view of Two Nuns and Madonna and Child. Sedona is nestled in a geological the slippery creek bottom. Visitors so that I could visit the Montezuma may slide down the exhilarating slick Castle National Monument (where a wonderland and is a real treat for the natural water slide and then simply 5-storey, 20-room dwelling was built outdoor enthusiast. I discovered that in a cliff by the ancient farmers). I there certainly was much to see and do bask in the sun along Oak Creek. The Sedona area also offers the then headed northwest on #260 to here! For More Information: www. visitor many wonderful scenic drives, Cottonwood and soon arrived at and I’d particularly recommend its nearby Tuzigoot (where I toured visitsedona.com (John Smith was hosted by Sedona National Monument Loop in the what’s left of a Sinagua village that Verde Valley. This one-day adventure was built here between 1000 and Tourism) I then trek took me south on #179 and #17 1400). to exit 293 for the Montezuma Well headed back to National Monument (a gigantic pond Sedona on #89A, of water that collects over a million completing this gallons of new water every day and fascinating loop. COACH & TOURS serves as an oasis out here in the desert). Then I went further south on #17 to exit 289 GoMcCoy.com

Rainfall apathy “dangerous” county told BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - This is no time to become complacent about the drought situation, Terry Murphy, general manger of Quinte Conservation told Hastings County Council Thursday. He was reinforcing a letter his agency had sent to all municipalities in the watershed asking them to prepare detailed plans for a drastic drought situation, which could come as early as next year. “If the ground freezes before we

get adequate rainfall for ground gone under from the effects of runoff levels. He suggested county water reserves, the rain can’t get the drought. The problem still planners might want to take a through. Also, if we second look at plans don’t get enough snow, for rural subdivisions we’ll start next year especially. “In the with a serious situation light of rainfall for both groundwater this summer, we see and runoff levels,” he subdivisions of up to argued. 50 homes where maybe He reviewed the the wells are only able TERRY MURPHY - GENERAL MANAGER OF QUINTE CONSERVATION problems people in to support about 10,” the area have faced he said. with loss of wells, high additional exists, despite recent rainfalls, he He noted that the Bancroft costs and more this past summer. assured, showing charts of current area has enjoyed fairly abundant Some businesses and farms have and normal groundwater and rain compared to the rest of the

county, “but that water runs off to the northeast, not down to the Bay of Quinte.” What will happen to plastic water storage tanks replacing wells when freeze-up comes? Murphy wondered. Murphy admitted that there are no known emergency drought plans drafted to date to use as a guideline, but the authority has prepared some ideas for municipalities to follow and will be pleased to assist. “Please take this seriously,” he urged council.

Gardening - I CAN Do This!

Dan Clost This past week I strolled across a beautifully landscaped estate with a friend to talk about preparing gardens for the winter. She had never done this before and was concerned about being able to do it properly. By the of our little tour, she said, “I can do

this.” Of course she can. If you are a new gardener who finds themself responsible for an established landscape, arranging to walk the grounds with a seasoned gardener is a good idea. l Not only will they identify the plants but they will give you east to remember advice for their care. Gardening is not especially difficult, Gentle Reader, especially if you do a bit of planning before you do a bit of planting. I will assume that the basic design idea has been fleshed out so we’re going to talk about the plants. There are so many choices when it comes to plants that it can be overwhelming. At the nursery where I am employed, the Plant Reference Guide lists more than 3,200 choices. Other nurseries and garden centres in this area also have their own impressive inventories. How do you know what is best for your home?

A good way to start is to drive to an established neighbourhood in your area, park the car and go for a walk. You should be able to determine the age of the houses within a 5 year time frame which also means you can figure out how old the plants are. What do you see that appeals to you? Make notes. If you can’t identify it, ask the homeowners; you might be surprised at how pleased they are by your questions. Next, drive to a subdivision less than 5 years old and look for those same plants. If you find them, you might be dismayed at how small they are: refer to the notes of your first visit and remind yourself how big these chappies will become. By doing this, for example, you’ll only buy one shrub instead of three to fit into a space. You can also take a look at where “tender” plants thrive. Where do you see large, lush

Japanese Maples? Seldom will they be in the middle of an exposed lawn. How many mature tri-coloured beeches do you see? Divide your plant-spending money into two piles. Label one pile as discretionary; the other as disposable. The money in the latter can be used for a tricoloured beech. For sure, GR, I will receive many e-mails telling me that the sender has a beauty of a tri on their property; but, considering the numbers sold to the numbers that reach maturity, the disposable label remains. With this starting list of possible plants, hie thee to a nursery. We (and I gladly speak for the entire horticultural industry here) want you to be successful and happy with any plant or gardening product we sell you. Wen want to sell you more; we want to sell to your friends, to your children, to their children, the only way to do

that is to establish a relationship based on trust. I hope the new “kids” on the block are reading this. GR, the Millenials (aka “Millies”) are causing quite the kerfuffle amongst our marketing boffins. Seldom have I seen so much conflicting advice about attracting this group. Millies are diligent with research and it will be web-based with facts being checked against several sources. Then, similar attention will be focused on nurseries. One of the first items searched will be reviews- on the seller’s website, on Facebook and on any site referencing that particular nursery, - including local newspapers. Finally, they will go to a nursery and that is where the relationship begins. Gardening is easy and you CAN do it!
