Quinte West Fire Department keeps more than 500 warm with Coats for Kids

613-965-6626

GEROW PROPANE LTD.

OVER 60 YEARS EXPERIENCE

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — More than 500 children will be kept warm this winter thanks to the Quinte West Fire Department’s Coat for Kids.

The 26th annual event saw record numbers come through the doors of the Mystical Distribution Building over two distribution days, Oct. 28 and Nov. 1.

“Our first distribution day, we handed out 240 snowsuits. That’s up about probably 40 from last year just on the first night and we will probably exceed that on the second night as well,” said Jason Alexander, firefighter at station one and one of the co-ordinators of the Coats for Kids program, adding that the number of recipients goes up every year.

The program had one rack of used coats for adults 18 and older and the rest of the coats and snowsuits for babies, children and youth up to 18 years old are bought new with donations to the program.

This year, Alexander said, Walmart in Trenton has been a big help with discounted prices.

“Every year it seems to get busier and busier, and it’s nice for us firefighters to get together and make this work. Really, the program couldn’t be possible without the help from the community with the donations,” he said.

The announcement that Sears will soon shut its doors has been unfortunate news for the program.

“Sears in Belleville, they were big supporters of the program, giving us discounted prices, and that’s what we do, we treat it like it’s our money. We aren’t going to go out and spend $80 on a jacket, we look for the sales,” he said. “It will be missed.”

Coats for Kids started in 1991 by local firefighters who had a passion to help kids stay warm during the winter months.

Alexander said it’s always rewarding seeing a child light up when the find their coat.

“It’s a good sight once you get a

jacket onto a kid and they give you a big smile and a high-five. They’re ready to go for the winter,” he said.

Alexander wanted to thank Mystical Distribution for letting them use the facility as a storage unit and running the distribution days out of the facility.

How we use the Internet is evolving, but can your provider keep up?

We all love the Internet. Thanks to the availability of millions of new services and apps, the Internet is making it easier-than-ever to work, socialize, play, shop, learn, share, and keep ourselves entertained from our laptops, tablets, and phones. Canadians spend an average of 36.7 hours online each month, more than any other country, as we use our computers to watch movies and TV, our tablets to read, and our smartphones to browse and play. Internet usage is at an all-time high, as 89% of Canadians connect to the Internet – in fact, highspeed Internet has become so important to us that 73% of Canadians say they would be unlikely to purchase a home that didn’t have access to high-speed Internet.1 Whether you live in a small town, hamlet or village, or in downtown Toronto, Xplornet believes that all Canadians deserve great high-speed Internet.

We’ve been busy improving our network to keep pace with demand, investing in our LTE network to ensure our customers can take full advantage of the online world.1

that dreaded icon spins endlessly in the middle of your screen. It can feel like you’re helpless to do anything about these problems, so you wait for the connection to improve. Why does this happen? Often, it is because of something called “peak hours.” Peak hours are times of the day when more people are online. Maybe your neighbours are streaming movies, sending emails, or just surfing the web. It is during these peak hours, when everyone is online at the same time, that some Internet service providers cannot keep up with demand and your connection becomes unreliable.

Considering how important the Internet can be in day-to-day life, the challenges of a bad connection can feel endless.

Our recent network improvements help solve the problem of peak hours, allowing both new and existing Xplornet customers to enjoy great high-speed Internet, even during the busiest times of the day.

Does your Internet provider give you the freedom you’re looking for?

We demand a lot of our Internet service, especially with more people online at the same time.

Whether you’re kicking back and relaxing, helping the kids with a school project, or putting in some overtime from home, Canadians are more connected than ever. Unfortunately, many of us have difficulty finding an Internet provider that can keep up, all because of where we live. As technology evolves, those who live outside of urban areas continue to be limited to what entertainment we can enjoy, how our families can

If you’re spending time online (and who isn’t these days?), you’re likely familiar with the frustration of slow connection speeds, or an Internet connection that simply doesn’t work. We’ve all experienced these problems: Netflix slows to a standstill, emails sit in your outbox, or

connect, and where we can work.

Canadians should be beyond this problem, shouldn’t we? Fortunately, there are new options to make the most of our online experience, even in rural areas.

Xplornet’s LTE network is expanding to reach more Canadians every day, and rural residents are benefiting from the new technology. New customers can receive incredible high-speed Internet, while existing customers will see improvements to their Internet reliability.

Outsmart slow-downs with Xplornet’s new & improved LTE network.

To get ahead of slow Internet, it is important that high-speed Internet providers offer state-of-the-art technology – after all, technology changes every day and the demands on our Internet grow along with it.

Highway of Heroes Living Tribute celebrates two years and greens the Trenton greenbelt

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — About 400 new trees and shrubs were planted on the Trenton Greenbelt Conservation Area after Highway of Heroes (HOH) Living Tribute celebrated two years in Trenton on Friday, Nov. 3.

Mark Cullen, co-founder of HOH Living Tribute, was joined by members of the Lower Trent Conservation, local dignitaries, military personnel, veterans and volunteers to celebrate and plant during a “Greening the Greenbelt” shoreline habitat project by the conservation and Trenton Rotary Club.

The HOH Living Tribute is a campaign to plant 117,000 trees along Highway 401, between CFB Trenton and the Coroner's Office in Toronto, one tree for every Canadian who died while serving during times of war since Confederation.

“Peace in Canada is walking down the road without fear, it’s opening familiar doors without worrying what’s on the other side,” said Cullen.

“Peace and our charter has a cost, paid by many before us, 117,000 Canadians who died at war, over 1.8 million Canadians who volunteered for act of service during times of war.”

Since the first tree was planted at CFB Trenton two years ago, Cullen said the organization has raised over $1.3 million, planted more than 12,000 trees and it’s just getting started.

The goal by 2020 is to raise $10 million and, by 2022, to plant all of the 117,000 trees.

After the 117,000 have been planted, Phase 2 of the living tribute is to plant 2 million trees in communities between Trenton and Toronto — one for each Canadian that has ever served in the armed forces.

8 Wing Trenton Chief Warrant Officer Troy Zuorro was Harold Fledderus C.A.I.B. on hand to support and lend a hand in planting.

“This is an incredibly important project, both for the whole community and for the men and Jessica Hoornweg R.I.B. women of 8 Wing Trenton. I’m here to represent the men and women of 8 Wing,” he said.

Zuorro said they are dedicated to the HOH Living Tribute Rebecca Veenstra project and what it R.I.B. represents.

“It’s an important

thing that we do, particularly as we approach veterans’ week,” he said. “The location is perfect, it’s along a main route so folks will drive by and see it right along the river, contributing back to our environment.”

Friday’s planting marked the third and final greening the greenbelt day of planting.

Now, more than 1,000 trees and shrubs have been planted along the shoreline during the initiative.

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 for Lower Trent Conservation, has said that 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.

Planting along the shoreline will boost biodiversity, enhance shoreline habitat and help build a more resilient natural heritage system along the Trent River.

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – When flu shot season approaches, no one rolls up their sleeves and gets to work quite like Sharon Dracup.

The Hastings Prince Edward Public Health nurse was recognized for 49 years of service providing immunizations to the community.

Public Health immunization manager Bill Sherlock applauded her efforts at a board meeting on Nov. 1, telling the audience that Dracup is believed to have immunized 150,000 people throughout her career.

“She has essentially immunized all of Hastings and Prince Edward,” he said, triggering laughter.

Dracup later corrected Sherlock and said the number is closer to 190,000.

She started working for the heath unit in 1968 at age 21, when there were only five different immunization vaccines. Today, there are dozens and Ontario’s annual influenza vaccine program keeps her busy every fall.

She’ll work this year’s flu shot season by attending several different community clinics, plus operating clinics at the Belleville Public Health building on North Park Street. They take place on Tuesdays, from 12 noon to 6 p.m. and Thursdays, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and are by appointment only.

After this year’s flu season, she plans on officially retiring.

Dracup delivered her own heartfelt speech to the board, which ended with a standing ovation.

She said, over her career, she has witnessed the positive impact immunization programs have made, especially in improving child mortality rates.

When she first started, she said, it

wasn’t unheard of for a child to die of meningitis.

“Today that just doesn’t happen,” she said. “So there is movement forward.”

Sherlock applauded Dracup for her professionalism, on both the social and medical aspects of her job.

“She has established a strong work ethic among the team, she works very quickly, very effectively,” he said.

“She calms people’s fears, makes people feel comfortable, but she also knows the science side of it,” he added, explaining that she records data and fulfills the administrative duties of her job effectively.

And she make it seem painless.

“It didn’t hurt at all,” said one Public Health employee, upon getting her shot at Dracup’s clinic following the board meeting.

Board chair Maureen Piercy and Medical Officer of Health Dr. Ian Gemmill also got their shots from Dracup that day, to applaud her efforts and show their own support for flu shot clinics.

Board member Jo-Anne Albert noted that in 1968 she was starting a teaching career in Tweed and Dracup worked in her school.

“I think we’ve held down many kids and picked them up off the floor,” she joked. “She was enthusiastic then.

After 49 years you still have that enthusiasm.”

In her 49th year of work, Dracup continues to advocate the importance of getting vaccines, especially the flu shot. And she says she still loves her job.

“It’s in my body and in my bones,” she said.

Watt’s energy lauded as he Quinte West smile cookie campaign raises enters Red Nose Hall of Fame thousands for Quinte Humane Society

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — Tim Hortons’ 2017 smile cookie campaign in Quinte West beat it’s fundraising record with $19,709 raised for the Quinte Humane Society.

The campaign reached a new high, raising more than last year’s $16,879 which set a record at the time for the campaign in Quinte West and was donated to the Children’s Treatment Centre at Trenton Memorial Hospital.

The proceeds from each smile cookie sold for $1 at six Tim Hortons’ locations in Quinte West have been tallied and donated to support the animals at the society.

Frank Rockett, executive director of the Quinte Humane Society, said he’s very excited about the donation.

“This is going to be a tremendous help to the humane society, it really shows how this community steps up,” he said.

“This is going to make a huge different in terms of medical care for the animals, helping with our spay and neuter,

and really just helping get more animals off the street and into homes.”

With winter approaching, Rockett said there are a lot of animals that are going to be in need and the donation will make a tremendous difference in their lives.

Doug Robertson owner of five Tim Hortons’ locations with wife Josephine, said hats off to the Quinte West community.

“I would just like to thank the community of Quinte West for all of their support, it’ll go a long way for our animals this year,” he said.

Jamie Smid, owner of the Dundas St. E. location with wife Debbie, said it’s a fantastic achievement.

“It was an outstanding performance from everyone,” he said. “We will set the bar higher next year, as long as everybody is involved with it, we are from behind the counter but we need the support from the other side too, so thanks to everybody.”

Belleville – Rick Watt’s energy is what powers Operation Red Nose Quinte every year.

While the service, which helps holiday revellers get themselves and their cars home safely, relies on hundreds of volunteers each season Watt undoubtedly sets the standard for them.

The 13-year chair works tirelessly each night at the 160 Catharine St. headquarters, working to make sure teams of drivers are ready to get out on the street.

“The challenge is telling him he can leave at the end of the night,” said Dave Allen, CEO of the YMCA, at a ceremony on Sunday, Nov. 6 at the Belleville YMCA. While the event was to officially launch this year’s Red Nose season and appoint two new honourary chairs, the event was also about giving Watt the recognition he is owed, but has never asked for.

Watt was inducted into the Red Nose Hall of Fame on Sunday, and presented certificates of appreciation for his work by dignitaries including Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher, MP Neil Ellis and MPP Todd Smith.

Marie-Chantal Fortin, Red Nose’s national development co-ordinator, came down from Quebec to be at the ceremony and present Watt with a special Hall-of-Fame red vest.

“Some volunteers stand out,” she said, of Watt.

Rick Watt is given a special vest to honour his induction into the Red Nose Hall of Fame, standing between Marie-Chantal Fortin and Dave Allen.

“He dedicates more time than any other volunteer. He’s at the hall every night of the operation.”

Watt humbly accepted the recognition.

“It’s an honour to get this award,” he said. “What I do is easy – everyone else just falls in line.”

Watt is now dutifully getting ready for this year’s Red Nose season, which will operate on the following nights.

Nov 24-25, Dec. 7-9, 14-16, 21-23, 2931.

People wishing to access the service can call 613-962-4334 on those nights.

their car home. It’s meant to prevent impaired driving collisions at a time of the year when they’re more likely to occur. All rides must start or stop in Belleville or Trenton. But the service generally covers a vast region, from Brighton to Deseronto, to Prince Edward County and Centre Hastings.

The Quinte region is one of 101 regions across Canada that run Red Nose operations, under the banner of the national non-profit organization.

The theme for this year’s campaign is Your Safe Ride Home.

As usual, at the Belleville launch event last year’s honourary chairs planted red foam noses onto the noses of this year’s chairs.

The 2017 honourary chairs are former Belleville Police Chief Cory MacKay and Belleville Chamber CEO Jill Raycroft. They received the noses from city councillors Jack Miller and Garnet Thompson.

The honorary chairs work throughout the season to promote the service.

And accepting the honour was an easy decision for both women, who said they’ve worked as Red Nose volunteers in the past and have used the service, while out with their own family members.

“It’s such an honour,” said MacKay, who was a proponent of Red Nose while leading the police force, up until her retirement at the end of 2016.

“What do all of our volunteers do?

We save lives.”

The messages throughout Sunday morning’s opening ceremony– which was strategically scheduled between church time and the NFL, Allen said – was that the success of Red Nose comes down to its volunteers.

And those volunteers have fun, while providing an important service, too.

“Without volunteers we are nothing,” said Christopher.

Ellis added that Red Nose provides Quinte residents an opportunity to be great “corporate citizens.”

“Drinking and driving is something we can all advocate against,” he said.

OPINION

B-Sens bring pro sports to region

Why China won’t budge on North Korea Over the next few days, Donald Trump will be visiting the leaders of Japan, South Korea and China, and the same topic will dominate all three conversations: North Korea.

Japan’s Prime MinShinzo Abe and Gwynne Dyer ister South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in will be looking for reassurance that the United States will protect them from North Korea’s nuclear weapons, but in Beijing Trump will be the supplicant.

The American president will be asking President Xi Jinping to do something, anything, to make North Korea to stop testing nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles. Trump has painted himself into a corner with his tongue, but even he knows (or at least has been told many times by his military advisers) that there is no military solution to this problem that does not involve a major war, and probably a local nuclear war.

Trump promised that North Korea would never be able to strike the United States with nuclear weapons, and the reality is that it will get there quite soon (if it is not already there). The United States has no leverage over North Korea except the threat of war, so he needs China to get him off the hook.

China has lots of leverage: 90 percent of North Korea’s imports come in through China, and most of its foreign exchange comes from selling things to China. Beijing could leave the North Korean population freezing and starving in the dark if it chose – but it won’t do that.

Xi Jinping may throw Donald Trump a couple of smallish fish – a ban on the sale of blow-dryers and chain-saws to North Korea, perhaps – but he won’t do anything that actually threatens the survival of the North Korean regime. Yet he knows that nothing less will sway Kim Jong-un, because the North Korean leader sees his nukes and ICBMs as essential to the survival of the regime.

Xi Jinping does not love Kim, and he definitely doesn’t like what he has been doing with the nuclear and missile tests. Kim has even purged the senior people in the North Korean hierarchy who were closest to China, and Beijing still puts up with his behaviour.

ation of Communist rule in China. That may sound weird, but look at it from the point of view of China’s current rulers.

Almost all the world’s ruling Communist parties have been overthrown in in the past quarter-century. What’s left, apart from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is just a few odds and ends: North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam and Laos. And the CCP’s highest priority is not “making China great again” or building a blue-water navy or whatever; it is protecting the power of the Party.

The Chinese leadership cares about those things too, but everything is always seen through the prism of “Will it strengthen the Party’s rule?” Seen through that prism, the collapse of the North Korean Communist regime is a potentially mortal threat to the CCP as well.

Beijing doesn’t stay awake at night worrying that a reunited Korea would bring American troops right up to the Chinese border either. It’s actually more likely that US troops would eventually leave a reunified Korea.

After all, nobody in Korea worries about a Chinese attack, so why would the US troops stay?

What truly frightens the men in charge in China is seeing another Communist regime go down. They were terrified by the collapse of the Soviet regime in 1989-91, and they blame it on the weakness and willingness to compromise of the Soviet Communist Party.

For all their power and all their achievements, they see themselves as standing with their backs to a cliff. One step backward, one show of weakness, and they could be over the edge and in free-fall. Letting Kim Jong-un fall, however much they dislike him, might unleash the whirlwind at home.

That is probably not true, but it has been the view of the dominant group in the Chinese Communist Party ever since the Soviet Union fell. They will not push Kim too hard no matter what the cost. And the US Joint Chiefs of Staff have just told Congress that there is no way the US can eliminate North Korea’s nuclear weapons without a full-scale land invasion.

Conclusion? No matter what the various players say now, in the end North Korea will get to keep a modest nuclear deterrent force, but it will have to agree to keep it small enough that it could not possibly launch a successful first strike. Not that it could even remotely afford to build a force big enough to do that anyway.

Editorial by Chris Malette This ain’t your mom and dad’s Bulls.

Sure, there were some exciting years when major junior hockey in the form of the OHL Belleville Bulls were the biggest draw in this area in terms of top-flight hockey entertainment. But, those days are long gone with seeing the last of reviled former team owner Gord Simmonds heading south with the team.

Today, there’s an exciting brand of hockey on the ice, a palpable buzz in the air and there’s no reason fans of sharp, crisp passing, smart playmaking and superb goaltending (most nights) shouldn’t be driving into Belleville from Norwood, North Hastings, Brighton and Cobourg, Prince Edward County and beyond to take in a game or six.

Folks, this is as close as you’re going to get to see professional hockey – good hockey from players hungry to make it to ‘the show’ – without shelling out obscene amounts of cash to take one in at the ACC in Toronto, the Bell Centre in Montreal or even the Sens’ parent club in that forlorn suburban barn in Kanata.

Last week, the Ottawa Sentarors and Belleville Senators pulled out all the stops to make sure we all knew there was a new, hotter, betterlooking kid in town and that kid is the B-Sens.

Prior to an evening of firsts, when fans packed to the rafters the $20-million retrofitted Yardmen Arena, parent club Sens owner Eugene Melnyk told reporters he believes the Belleville Senators will be here “for life.”

The owner of the new American Hockey League franchise was pressing the flesh throughout the rejuvenated Yard Barn last Wednesday and was mostly welcomed with open arms and wide smiles.

“We’re going to have hockey here way beyond when I’m around,” Melnyk said, during the press conference. He later told a scrum of reporters: “It’s going to be here for life.”

We’ll see on that last bit, but Wesdnsday, Nov. 1 was a celebration on and off the ice.

Already, the Sens have sold about 2,300 season tickets — a positive sign for the franchise which plays in a 4,400-seat venue. If walk-up crowds of more than 1,000 come each night, Melnyk said he believes the team will be in good shape.

Adam Bignell, who played all or parts of five seasons with the OHL Bulls, made a dramatic appearance last Wednesday at centre ice in the first intermission of the first Senators’ game at the Yardmen Arena. Bignell picked up a Senators jersey that had been placed at the centre dot

and pulled it on to roars of the crowd who saw the symbolism in the gesture.

It was an emotional gesture because Bignell is best remembered for laying a Bulls jersey at centre ice in a spontaneous, emotional gesture after the team was eliminated from the 2015 Ontario Hockey League playoffs – the last game the Bulls played in Belleville.

A crowd of 3,194 fans who had packed the Yardmen Arena on April 2, 2015, were standing in stunned silence after the players had left the ice, the Barrie Colts having won 4-2 to cap a four-game sweep of the Bulls in an OHL firstround playoff series.

That’s when Bignell, then the team’s assistant captain, emerged from the dressing room to lay his jersey on centre ice; a move that drew heartfelt applause from fans and outright sobs from diehard Bulls supporters.

Opening ceremonies were moving, too.

A video played on the new scoreboard, to the tune of Phillip Phillips’ song, “Home,” showing clips of the final moments of Bulls history and scenes of everyday Bay of Quinte residents flying Sens colours and getting ready for the new season.

The arena where the Sens practise and play looks every bit the part of a snazzily revamped forum for pro hockey – replete with eight private boxes, 800 new seats, dressing rooms described as rivalling that of any pro sports team – for the Sens at least; beer leaguers are complaining the old rooms are still drab caves – a cool standing/pub table style viewing lounge across the expanse of the south end of the rink and, of course, the ‘product’ on the ice. The play is pro-level fast, the players themselves – while not household names by any stretch – are talented, big and not afraid to mix it up.

Ask the Stevenson family, five or six of whom travelled from Trent Hills on opening night to be part of the action and take in the game.

(Sorry Stevensons, our photographer’s camera malfunctioned, or you’d be gracing these pages today.)

That’s the kind of fan base the Sens hope – and deserve, it says here – to draw if this franchise is to be viable and popular.

At ticket prices ranging from $26.25 for the best seats to $22.50 for the cheap seats, this is hockey you ought to see if you’re a fan of the game.

It really is that good and this region, starved for major junior or better hockey, needs to get behind it.

Orphan 32 shares story of hope at 8 Wing Trenton

BY MAKALA CHAPMAN

Thanh Campbell has chosen to inspire others with his life story after he was mistakenly taken as a baby from his family in Vietnam back in 1975.

Stopping by 8 Wing Trenton recently, the Canadian inspirational speaker and author said he wanted to share his story of hope and gratitude with the very organization that played a role in his “abduction.”

It was during the Vietnam War that Campbell, then known as Nguyen Ngoc Minh Thanh, and his siblings were placed in an orphanage for safe keeping.

Since his father had been a highranking military official, Campbell said his parents had decided that hiding the children would be in their best interest.

But in the spring of 1975, members of the U.S. military and the Canadian Armed Forces arrived in Vietnam to evacuate children from the war-torn country as part of a mission known as Operation Babylift.

It was then that Campbell said he was mistaken for an orphan and soon found himself with a one-way ticket to Canada in the back of a CC-130 Hercules from 8 Wing Trenton.

“They had the courage to go into a war-torn country and risk being shot out of the sky,” said Campbell, noting that he held no resentment toward the military. “From my perspective I have a debt of gratitude because they risked their lives for the children.”

Out of the babies that were evacuated from Vietnam that day, Campbell said he was the 32nd out of a total of 56 – most of whom were actually orphans.

Campbell said that he is often asked what he would say to the American soldier who took him out of the orphanage and delivered him to the Canadian aircraft waiting to whisk him away.

Again, he made clear he harboured no ill-feelings and was anything but angry.

“I don’t blame him,” he said, bearing a genuine smile on his face.

“I would say ‘thank you’ because look at the life I’ve been able to live.”

Having shared his story at the year’s National Search and Rescue Exercise (SAREX) in Hamilton, Ont., Campbell said it was there that he was invited to speak at 8 Wing Trenton.

Campbell was the keynote speaker at the professional development seminar held at the base on Oct. 19.

“I wanted to come and say thank you,” he said. “I know these officers aren’t the actual ones who came to Vietnam that day, but it’s the organization that they represent and what they are still doing for many people around the world.”

He added that it was also nice to give the soldiers a good news story since many don’t often get to hear the end results of the humanitarian missions they are sent on.

Through his story, Campbell added that he hopes to inspire and encourage the members to continue the work that they do.

“In the world’s eyes, my situation may be a mistake,” he explained, “but to me it was meant to be. I believe in providence and I believe everything happens for a reason.”

Having been adopted by a Canadian family, Campbell noted that he had a loving upbringing and is now raising a family of his own.

As for his long-lost relatives back in Vietnam, Campbell said they too got a happy ending.

As a result of Campbell sharing his story with various media outlets, his family in Vietnam was able to track him down and finally reach out to him.

Campbell said a DNA test came back as a 99 per cent match and he

was then able to reunite with his birth parents and siblings in 2007.

As for whether there were any hard feelings between the two families, Campbell said there had been none at all.

“My (birth father) took the opportunity to thank my dad (Mr. Campbell) for raising me in Canada and for the man I came to be,” he said. “He really wanted him to know how grateful he was.”

As for why he has decided to travel the country sharing his story, Campbell explained that it was to help build a sense of community and to help people reflect on their own life story.

Present at the professional development seminar was 8 Wing Chief of Staff Lieutenant-Colonel David Alexander.

He noted that having Campbell as the guest speaker was important as it offered some insight into the lives that the men and women of 8 Wing Trenton are directly or indirectly impacting on a daily basis.

“We’re very much interested in having Mr. Campbell here since there is that air mobility connection,” he said. “Some of the people in the audience, as well as myself, have probably flown on the very aircraft that brought him out of Saigon

at some point (in our careers).”

Alexander then went on to add that he hoped those in attendance were inspired by Campbell’s story and were given some food for thought with respect to the world they live in and the country they serve.

Friends report record sales on first day of arts and crafts show at Presqu'ile

Brighton — The opening weekend for Christmas at Presqu'ile Arts and Crafts Show “went very well,” says the chairperson of the organizing committee.

“I kicked my butt all year because I didn't buy anything, so I came back this year to buy something,” she said. When last seen, she had purchased a metal sculpture.

“I just like to see the art,” she said, but this time she came specifically for a scarf.

“I bought one here before and I lost it so I had to come to replace it,” she said. “There's some gorgeous stuff ... It's a lot of fun and a lot of nice art. You never know when you're going to find something really unusual.”

Brighton Mayor Mark Walas greeted the public as people made their way to the front of the line that formed outside Christmas House, handing out cashew brittle.

The Friends “do a tremendous job ... to really draw more attention to the ecological value here in Presqui'ile,” he said.

Native Arts show celebrates end of harvest season

MPP Lou Rinaldi neutral in health hub location debate

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi isn’t choosing a site in the Quinte Health Hub location debate.

Rinaldi spoke to Quinte West city council on Monday night and said that he isn’t too much into bricks and mortar.

“I just want to ensure the services are here,” said Rinaldi. “On services communities need, I don’t get too tied up on bricks and mortar. To me what’s important is that those services are de-

livered, whether they are going to be here or one or two blocks away.”

Rinaldi said he met with Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison and city staff earlier in the day to go over some of the issues in the health hub debate, a debate on whether the health hub should be located next to the hospital on Catherine Street or downtown Trenton on Murphy Street.

Since higher-than-recommended contaminants were found in the soil on Catherine Street – with a price tag of $760,000 for remediation – the Bel-

leville and Quinte West Community Health Centre’s (CHC) current location downtown Trenton on Murphy Street became the recommended site by the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN).

The issue was discussed with the SE LHIN’s original Implementation Task Force members on Thursday Nov. 1 and sparked concern and disappointment from some task force members including Our TMH, resulting in a bus of about 40 Our TMH members to protest and sit in during the open

meeting at the SE LHIN offices in Belleville Thursday evening.

Paul Huras, CEO at the SE LHIN, said he is concerned about the risks associated with building on Catherine Street, as outlined in an environmental report.

Huras has put a hold on the location decision until he is able to speak with Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison on Thursday Nov. 9.

Councillor Sally Freeman spoke in favour of having the health hub located next to the hospital.

“That’s our healthcare area, that’s where the feelings are coming in very, very strong and we’ve got some pretty good experts looking at some of this stuff too and they don’t feel the same way as Mr. Huras,” she said.

Rinaldi wanted to reassure council that the health hub isn’t going anywhere and neither is Trenton Memorial Hospital, adding that the two aren’t “correlated”.

“I want to make sure that it happens, that’s my priority,” he said.

Batawa Senior’s Expo a hit

BY ERIN STEWART

Batawa — The Batawa Senior's Expo attracted many people through the doors of the Batawa Community Centre on Friday, Nov. 3.

The fourth annual event offered flu shots and a plethora of vendors offering resources, information and support services in the community to suit the needs of the aging population “It’s been the busiest seniors' expo yet, it’s really exciting to see so many people here,” said Hannah Brown, communication co-ordinator of Batawa Development Corporation.

“A big draw is the flu shots available and there’s so many resources for seniors to take advantage of while they’re here, they learn how they can stay in their homes longer, stay active longer, so many different opportunities for older adults and people supporting older parents.”

Allan Tomkinson attended the event and was intrigued by the large cat at the Quinte Humane Society’s booth, which offered information about the Humane Society’s program to match senior cats or dogs with seniors for free.

“I think that’s a great idea, they make good company and especially if the elder person is alone, it’s somebody to come home to, somebody that’s expecting you,” said Tomkinson, who said he already has a furry friend as a companion at home.

“When you do come home their little nose is right there waiting for you,” he said. “It gives you a reason to get up in the morning because they need to be taken care of.”

Buddy, the 13-year-old cat, was brought to the event as part of the Quinte Humane Society’s Seniors for Seniors program. Anyone over 65 can adopt a senior cat or dog, over the age of seven or

eight, for free.

Having attended the Batawa Senior’s Expo for all four years, Tomkinson said it’s good to be aware of the resources and services available.

“There’s lots of stuff here, we like coming,” he said. “The information comes in handy. I hope this keeps going on because there’s lots of ideas that right now I don’t need but I might in the future.”

The event included 49 exhibiters to provide an opportunity to showcase services, activities, products and resources to an audience of older adults to help them lead happy and healthy lives.

Belleville Senators to pay their respects

O

n November 10th and 11th, the Belleville Senators will host the Rochester Americans for the fifth and sixth games of their Inaugural Season in the American Hockey League.

As much as the excitement around professional hockey in the Bay of Quinte continues to grow, these occasions provide an even greater opportunity to demonstrate our support

for the community. These dates in particular provide a tremendous backdrop to say thank you to the Armed Forces of past and present; those who have laid down their lives for us and those who continue to risk their livelihood on our behalf.

As part of these games, the Belleville Senators are working closely with their partners to welcome more than 250 members of the

Canadian Forces Base in Trenton and Military Family Resource Centre across the Friday and Saturday games.

In addition to the 200 tickets provided by the team,

M a c k a y Insurance and JB Print Solutions have each graciously donated additional tickets, while Leonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trenton will provide their luxury suite to families of those in service.

Throughout each evening, the team will honour all of these individuals, as well as those not in attendance, in numerous ways. This will include an anthem performed

by Anita Halfpenny and the 8 Wing Band, ceremonial

puck drop with members from CFB Trenton, moment of silence and reveille by traditional bugle call, and video tribute from members of the Belleville Senators Hockey Club.

The team asks that fans and community members join them to share in these respects. Tickets for each evening are available at www.BellevilleSens.com, via telephone at 1 (855) 985-5000 or in person at the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Box Office. Each game will begin at 7:00PM.

Darrell and Carmen Smith this year’s Guardian Angels for The Children’s Foundation Guardian Angels.

“It’s overwhelming because we have always done this for the love of giving back to the community without needing any recognition,” said Darrell.

This attitude and mindset is exactly what sparked nominators, Rev. Hal Wilson and Brenda Snider to present them as worthy candidates.

The couple has selflessly devoted their time and energy into organizations such as, Big Brothers Big Sisters in which they are a title sponsor, mentor and volunteer, board members of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation, involved in Volunteer and Information Quinte (VIQ) as well as their involvement in special activities for The Children’s Foundation — just to name a few.

“Do something, regardless of how little it is, any time that you can spending giving back to the community — an hour here or there, it all counts. The reward after you've helped someone else doesn't have a price,” said Carmen.

The couple will be formally acknowledged at the 17th anniversary of The Guardian Angel Gala on March 3, at a location yet to be determined.

“This year's theme for the Gala is, Fire and Ice — how fitting since we have the firecracker, Carmen and the calm cool collected Darrell,” laughed Camp.

Belleville — Darrell and Carmen Smith were glowing with pride as they humbly accepted being named this year’s Guardian Angels by The Children’s Foundation on Wednesday.

By day, Darrell is a senior financial consultant with Investors Group Securities Inc. while Carmen is an executive assistant as well as a part-time interpreter — by night, both are involved in numerous groups, organizations and clubs.

Each year the foundation highlights an individual or couple who goes above and beyond to help children and youth in the community.

“Not only do our angels give of their finances, they roll up their sleeves and give of their time,” said Aleesha Camp, chair for the Guardian Angel Gala.

The Children’s Foundation is governed by its own board of directors and is the charitable arm of Highland Shores Children’s Aid to offer programs and services to improve the quality of life for at-risk children and youths in the community.

The couple was unanimously chosen by the board as this year’s recipients and was awarded with flowers and recognition on Nov. 1 at the Investors Group in Belleville.

The Smiths expressed how humbled and honoured they are to be named this year’s

Loyalist Lancers women claim OCAA rugby 7s bronze medal Peterborough - For the first time in Loyalist Lancer history, the women’s rugby team has earned an OCAA medal.

After a season in which they finished in fifth place in OCAA standings, the Lancers earned a spot in the 2017 OCAA Provincial Championships at Fleming College on Nov. 4.

Prior to the day’s finals action, the OCAA held an awards banquet Friday, Nov. 3, at which Lancers Kierstyn Bennett and Rachelle Malette were named to the OCAA all star team for the season.

First game Saturday saw the Lancers up against the Algonquin Thunder, where they were downed 20-0 to start the day. First year Lancer Bailey Meraw was named player of the game for Loyalist.

Next up for Lancers was hosts Fleming Knights in an exciting semi final match that saw the Lancers dominate 27-17.

For the bronze medal final, it was a rematch from the morning’s opener, as the Lancers faced the Algonquin Thunder in what turned out to be a thriller. Bennett, Reed & Meraw crossed the try line for the Lancers with a try from each, putting the Lancers over the top to finish at 15-10 Rachelle Malette was named player of the game for the bronze medal match and Bailey Meraw was named a tournament all star, as was Bennett.

Coaches Ken Fitzgerald and Jo-Anne Robinson had high praise for their charges.

“This team was mighty in spirit and determination,” said Fitzgerald, “despite being among the smallest in numbers and stature across the league. They defeated some powerhouse sides to reach this level and I can’t say enough about their grit and determination to stand out as one of the best in Ontario collegiate rugby.”

Jerome Dupont named Cobourg G-Hawks win one in three Cougars head coach with assistant Kevin Forrest

BY ERIN STEWART

BY ERIN STEWART

Cobourg — Three familiar faces from Trenton’s bench are back together, this time leading the Cobourg Cougars instead of the Trenton Golden Hawks.

Since being replaced after last year’s RBC Cup run, all three of Trenton Golden Hawks’ previous coaching staff will now reunite in Cobourg.

Jerome Dupont, who previously coached the G-Hawks for six years, has been announced as the new head coach for the Cougars.

During Dupont’s six years with the Hawks, his record has been described as “unprecedented.”

Dupont led the team to five division titles, one league championship, two consecutive Dudley-Hewitt Cups and two RBC Cup appearances in six seasons.

Kevin Forrest also joins the Cougars as an assistant coach.

Forrest was an assistant coach to the G-Hawks for two-and-a-half years

alongside Dupont, before assisting in Aurora for the start of the 2017-18 season.

The pair will also reunite with Cobourg’s current assistant coach Kyle Smart, who joined Cobourg this year after a two-year run with the Hawks next to Forrest and Dupont.

Assistant coach Todd Collins will also remain in his role of assistant coach to the team.

“I’m excited, it’s a young team, I’m looking forward to working with Marc Mercier and the ownership group,” said Dupont. “It’s a new challenge and a new opportunity.”

Since parting with the G-Hawks Dupont said there hasn’t been much of a break. He’s kept busy working with individual players and working with a PeeWee AAA team, “which is kind of fun, it’s been very busy” he said.

Dupont said the chance to work with Forrest and Smart again is amazing.

“That’s exciting, obviously there’s a familiarity there so it’s all positive,” he said.

Cobourg and Trenton had quite the rivalry last year, but Dupont said that didn’t influence his decision to work with the team.

“That’s the hockey business, you sometimes get hired by rivals and that’s just the way it is,” he said.

Dupont said he’s looking forward to his official first day on the job, Tuesday Nov. 7.

Forrest said he’s really excited and honoured for the new opportunity.

“With the community support and pro-type facility, the tools are there for success,” he said. “It goes without saying I’m pumped to work with Jerome and Kyle again and look forward to getting to know their entire existing staff and building something special together as a group.”

Coming off of their RBC Cup win, the Cougars sit at 7-8-1-2 this season.

Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks played three games over four days this weekend, winning one out of three.

First up, the G-Hawks hosted the Kingston Voyageurs on Friday Nov. 3.

With shots on net 9-8 for Kingston in the first, the Voyageurs manager one goal past Trenton’s goaltender James Povall.

Kingston extended their lead in the second period, managing an unassisted goal 3:36 into the period by Andrew Suriyuth and a power play goal by Reid Russell at 13:30, putting up 23 shots on net to Trenton’s 15.

Trenton outshot the Voyageurs for the first time in the third but allowed another goal.

Mac Lewis scored the Hawks only goal of the game on the power play with four minutes remaining, ending the game 4-1 for Kingston.

Trenton rebounded with a huge win the next day in Whitby.

The G-Hawks shutout the Fury 7-0, thanks to a hat trick by Caleb Boman and major contributions up and down the lineup.

Michael Silveri contributed one goal and three assists, Bily Shaun three assists, Rex Moe, Lewis and Mark Tassone with two points each and Max Ewart, Zach Senecal, Gage Stephney, Kevin Stiles and Shawn Guison each contributed one point.

The Hawks visited the Cobourg Cougars Monday night for a tense game.

Cobourg opened the first period with a quick goal only 25 seconds into the period, scored by George Miranda and assisted by Ryan Porter.

Boman evened out the first period with a goal at 11:48, assisted by Ewart and Stiles.

The second period saw four goals, two scored by each team. Both Trenton and Cobourg scored on power plays at the beginning of the period followed by an unassisted goal by Cobourgs Mac Lowry and a goal by Trenton’s Stiles.

Cobourg took the lead in the third period with a goal at 7:08.

The Hawks pulled the goalie at the end of the period and Lowry scored his second goal of the game on the empty net.

This week the Hawks will face Markham at home on Wednesday Nov. 8 and host Aurora on Friday Nov. 10.

EARLY BIRD WINTER TIRE

Quinte International Air Show grounded for 2018

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – Disappointing news for aviation enthusiasts across the region, the Quinte International Air Show (QIAS) has been cancelled for 2018.

Colonel Mark Goulden, Wing Commander of 8 Wing Trenton, said operations at 8 Wing Trenton are first priority and, with those commitments in mind, the difficult decision had to be made to cancel the show.

“The last little while has been very busy with operations and a lot of those operations have been humanitarian assistance disaster response, the operation tempo has been very, very high,” said Goulden.

It’s been a busy time at the base with operations to assist with disasters such as the forest fires in British Columbia, with 8 Wing people deployed there for two months, and assisting with the hurricane disaster in the Caribbean and Porto Rico.

“The people on the wing here that support those operations and conduct those operations on a day to day basis are the same people that organize an air show and, as you can appreciate, organizing an air show the magnitude we would like to run here at the base involves a great deal of effort,” he said.

The 2016 QIAS took eight months of planning, which was a surprisingly short amount of time compared to many other air shows that can take up to two years of preparation, said Goulden.

The base just isn’t in a position to organize an air show for 2018 with ongoing and future operations, but Goulden said he is committed to establishing a committee that will look at future air shows, a committee consisting of military members and civilian partners from the community.

“I can’t commit to a date right now, but I am going to commit to establishing that committee and they are going to look at some options of how we can run an air show here sometime in the near future,” said Goulden, noting that he’s

confident there will be a QIAS back in the skies over Quinte if he has anything to say about it.

“I love air shows, I would absolutely love to have an air show here while I’m the commander, absolutely.”

The 2016 air show was the return the spectacular QIAS, which had not been held at CFB Trenton since 2003.

The 2016 show was a success, with more than 65,000 people in attendance, great involvement with the community and Goulden said it was a nice opportunity to give back to the community and display some of what the base has to offer.

Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison, while disappointed, was very understanding upon hearing the news.

“I’m not surprised, I know they’re very busy at the base and as a result of that I can understand that they don’t have time to work on the show, it takes a lot of planning and preparation, but I’m sure we will have it another year,” he said.

Harrison said he loves that air show but knows that they base has work to do, with operations all around the world.

“I support them and I know the men and

women of 8 Wing are working all over the world,” he said, noting that the 2016 air show had a great impact on the local region.

“It had millions of dollars of impact on the region, the 2016 show was fantastic with everything from the biggest planes, Snowbirds, everything the displays, I just thought it was unbelievable.”

Harrison said he’s hopeful the airshow will be back in the near future, underscoring that he’s grateful CFB Trenton is located in the Quinte West community.

UN Day event fosters discussion on inclusiveness

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – If the Bay of Quinte region is to continue to embrace inclusiveness, it will require more than just policy.

It will take action and events – and in will have to involve more opportunities for people of different cultural backgrounds to get together, discuss issues and understand one another.

That was the one of the dominant thoughts at a “leadership summit and lunch” event hosted by the United Nations Quinte Branch on Friday, Nov. 3 at the Parrot Gallery in honour of UN Day. The purpose of the event was to bring community leaders together to discuss how to make the region a more welcoming place for new Canadians and how the community can better celebrate and promote diversity.

“You have to get people to interact with each other. You have to let people be people,” said Dr. Bill Smith, one of four people on a panel that led a group discussion.

Smith, representing the United Church of Canada’s Bay of Quinte Conference, said that in the past many churches had signs on their doors that said “all welcome” but weren’t really practicing what they were preaching.

The United Church has since made efforts to become more progressive, and now all clergy members must take a course on racial justice before being appointed, he said.

Other panel members spoke about how their organizations are doing more to embrace diversity.

Cathy Rushton, a Loyalist College vice-president, said the college is making more of an effort to attract international students than ever before. This year

there are 350 international students, from 24 countries, at Loyalist. These students add to the cultural diversity of the college. Meanwhile, administrators are doing more to ensure students cultural backgrounds are respected at the college. For instance, at convocation ceremonies now, there’s mention that the event is taking place on traditional Mohawk land.

The Hastings Prince Edward District School Board was represented on the panel by Ken Dostaler, who works in a new role devoted to equity and inclusive education. He said an equity committee of the board is working to come up with new recommendations on how school boards can be more inclusive.

“We’re excited to find out what’s out there. What

are the best practices?” he said.

Karen Poste, Belleville’s economic development manager, represented the city on the panel. She spoke about Belleville’s new inclusive committee, which has organized numerous events, such as a vigil held last winter in the wake of a Quebec City mosque shooting that killed six members of the city’s Muslim community.

Poste said that committee has been working to create forms for people to discuss issues related to diversity, so the public can be educated on issues, or report positive stories or concerns.

She spoke about the Bay of Quinte Welcome portal (at immigration.bayofquinte.ca), which tells stories about the region in seven different languages, so potential new Canadians from different areas of the world can learn about the region.

Bay of Quinte Member of Parliament Neil Ellis also attended the event. He told a story about his time as Belleville’s mayor when he was working on a plan with Poste to bring new immigrants to the region.

He later received a signed letter from someone saying “how dare you try to change our city.” It was an all-time low point of his time as mayor, he said, as it reminded him that there are still people who do not embrace diversity, nor change.

But he believes, over the last eight years are so, there are more organizations working to open people’s minds and encourage new Canadians to come to the region to improve the city’s culture, not to mention the economy.

“There are a lot of organizations saying ‘this is the right thing to do,’” Ellis said. “Together we can shape our community and make it better.”

Police charge motorists photographing wreck

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Cramahe Township â&#x20AC;&#x201C;While a toppled transport truck snarled traffic Thursday on Highway 401 near Brighton at the Lake Road exit, police used the ensuing traffic jam to charge motorists who cruised slowly past the scene taking photos with their smart phones. Â Eastbound traffic on Highway 401 was slowed to a crawl between Colborne and Brighton Thursday after a tractor-trailer rolled onto its side into the median shortly after 5 a.m. One lane was closed to facilitate the removal of the vehicle and related cleanup.

Police issued an update on the mishap, noting the investigation into the crash was continuing, but some drivers now face fines upwards of $300 for using a handheld device while driving.

In the statement, police detailed, too the wild ride the transport driver had before crashing: "Further investigation revealed that the driver was originally traveling eastbound near exit #509 Brighton when he entered the centre grass median. After driving the tractor trailer through the grassy median he joined the westbound lanes eventually losing control of his truck several kilometres to the west. No other vehicles were involved...

Stirling council sets procedural bylaw ALASKA STAY & SSAGE CRUISE INSIDE !PA Home Pick-up !

JULY 10 TO 21, 2018

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling - Stirling-Rawdon Council has passed a lengthy new bylaw to govern the proceedings of both council and committees and to outline standards for public notice of meetings.

The bylaw brings the township into compliance with Section 238 of the Municipal Act (2001), as amended.

The new council procedural bylaw No. 1183-17, which replaces the old bylaw No.362-03, takes effect immediately. It includes a detailed list of definitions (for example, what constitutes a pecuniary interest) and outlines a list of rules which must be followed during meetings. The bylaw, passed Monday, Nov. 6, also states who may attend meetings, and whether any attendee can be removed (which can only happen if the person exhibits “improper conduct”) ,who can chair a meeting, when meetings will be held and how late they can last, the order of business for agen-

das, what requirements must be met to hold a closed session, and much more.

The bylaw also limits the number of delegations on any one topic at a meeting to two and states that any person or organization (other than township consultants) is limited to two appearances on the same topic within one calendar year.

The bylaw also outlines the duties of those presiding over meetings, lists things which members of council or committees are not permitted to do during meetings and states how members of the public must behave during meetings, such as refraining from “public outbursts, applause, shouting or behaviour intended to disrupt the debate, discussion and/or general proceedings of the council/committee.”

Now that it has been passed by council, the full bylaw soon will be available on-line at http://www.stirling-rawdon. com/category/bylaws .

“Bill 148 basically says you’ve got to give everybody 48 hours’ notice before they can be called into work, and firemen will be paid $51 an hour for three hours a day for 300 days,” said mayor Rodney Cooney. “Something like that (would cost) Stirling-Rawdon about $1.6-million.”

Treasurer/CAO Roxanne Hearns said the act is open to interpretation, but that they way it reads, the township would have to match the highest rate of pay of any township employee. In the case of firefighters, she said, “Whatever the highest full-time firefighter makes, your volunteers would make. It should be totally exempt for volunteer firefighters.”

Cooney said the 48-hours’ notice is also completely untenable.

“Basically, I don’t know if it’s going to snow tomorrow at 3 o’clock,” he said. He stated the only way to handle emergencies under this bill would be to use private contractors.

Council voted to send a letter to the government of Ontario supporting Montague’s request, which asks for the province to provide an exemption from article s.21.4 for all municipal employees who are required to be on call to provide statutorily-mandated public safety services. The Montague resolution also asks the province to do a full economic impact study of Bill 148 to see what the effect will be on municipalities across Ontario.

Stirling—The province’s Bill 148, known as the Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act, will have a huge effect on municipal budgets by impacting how emergency services are provided, according to the Town of Montague. At its meeting on Monday, Nov. 6, Stirling council agreed completely, and voted to support that municipality’s objections to the new bill.

WINTER TIRE PACKAGE

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Quinte Conservation’s popular Adopt an Acre program is back and will help support a new water monitoring and research facility at Quinte Conservation.

General Manager Terry Murphy says, “the money raised with Adopt an Acre will help us build a water monitoring and research facility that will enable staff to continue with water quality monitoring programs on the Bay of Quinte and other watercourses throughout our watershed.”

Murphy adds, “there have been so many changes over the past few years because of climate change that it is now necessary to have a facility like this at our office in order to ensure a healthy environment for our children and grandchildren.”

For $25 donors receive a tax receipt and an adoption certificate in the name of a loved one, friend, teacher or anyone who is interested in supporting a local environmental cause.

People can adopt their acre by visiting or calling the Quinte Conservation office or going online to www.quinteconservation.ca.

When people adopt two or more acres, they have the choice to receive a plush toy chipmunk, fox, or (new this year) cardinal as a thank you for the donation.

Quinte Conservation hopes to adopt out 250 acres this year. Last year the program raised just over $6,000 and helped to pay for signage at local conservation areas, habitat enhancement projects and invasive species removal.

Quinte Conservation is a community-based environmental protection agency. It serves 18 municipalities in the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee and Salmon Rivers and Prince Ed-

Northumberland Hills Hospital victims were competition shooters

BY KAREN LONGWELL

Cobourg — The man killed in Northumberland Hills Hospital police-involved shooting bragged about his large gun collection in Texas.

Family members identified the couple who were killed at NHH on Friday, Oct. 27 as Tom and Helen Ryan. Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said the couple died following a shooting inside the emergency room in the NHH in Cobourg. The incident began after they were admitted to the emergency department for unknown aliments, said Jon Ansell, the lead SIU investigator on the incident. Just after 11 p.m. a shot was heard from the triage room when nurses entered the room they found the woman had sustained a head wound. Cobourg police responded very quickly and encountered the 70-year-old man. Two police officers discharged their firearms and the man was pronounced dead on scene.

Dolly Rash the manager of Hospice Boutique in Brenham, Texas, where Helen volunteered once a week for about six years, described her as cheerful woman dedicated to her volunteer job.

“She was just delightful. She was a very sweet lady,” said Rash.

for Helen at the ranch. Tom had a very large gun collection and both he and Helen were competition shooters at one point, said Rash. At the party Rash recalled Tom bragging about his gun collection.

“He was showing off his guns,” she said. Estimates that he had 700 guns didn’t sound like an exaggeration, she added.

At the party, several members of a gun club were invited and at one point went outside to fire the guns in a salute for Helen’s birthday.

As an experienced shooter, Helen seemed comfortable around the guns.

However, there were hints that Helen may have felt threatened by Tom, she added. Another volunteer told Rash she had concerns that Tom was abusive.

Rash asked the volunteer if she thought Helen was in danger and the volunteer said she wasn’t certain.

The last few times Helen came into the store Rash and other volunteers noticed there was a change in her memory.

“I did see a hint of Alzheimer’s.”

Helen couldn’t remember how to do some of her volunteer work but Rash just told her it was OK and just to sit

Rash said she didn’t know Tom Ryan Tom and Helen lived on a ranch well but once went to a birthday party and have a visit.

Texas friend of Cobourg hospital shooting victim had concerns

BY KAREN LONGWELL

Cobourg –One of the women closest to Helen Ryan feared her friend might die at the hands of her husband.

Tom and Helen Ryan, as has been widely reported, were both killed after a shooting in Northumberland Hills Hospital around 11 p.m. on Oct. 27. The Special Investigations Unit said Helen suffered a head wound after a gun shot was heard in the emergency room. The couple were brought to the hospital via ambulance after a care worker reportedly called police at Salem Woods Trailer Park east of Colborne that night. They were side-by-side, alone, when the shot was heard. The OPP, who are investigating Helen’s death, have declined to comment further on the case.

Tom died after two Cobourg police officers fired their weapons.

Faith Kemen, a close friend of Helen’s in Brenham, Texas, said during their 10-year friendship, Helen indicated she might be shot by her husband.

“Helen had it in her mind she might go this way,” One of the women closest to Helen Ryan, shown here in photos from FAcebook, feared her friend might die at the hands of her husband. said Kemen.

Metroland file photo Asked if Helen was abused, Kemen said she didn’t believe Tom touched her.

“She wasn’t abused,” she said.

Kemen was shocked Tom managed to get a gun she had some type of a stroke.

community; the tragic event that has taken place is the most severe form of domestic violence,” said Cornerstone executive director Nancy Johnston.

“To end family violence, it is imperative to bring the issue further into the open, and let go of the stereotypes and misconceptions that allow people to believe it couldn’t happen to them or here in Northumberland County.”

About every six days, a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner, according to Cornerstone.

A 2013 Statistics Canada report found women were victims in about 80 per cent of intimate partner violence reported to police and account for 80 per cent of domestic homicide victims. However, the rate of domestic violence is likely much higher than we know, as 70 per cent of spousal violence is not reported to the police.

Domestic violence has deep and broad roots, exceeding the confines of culture, economics, race or gender, and defying stereotypes of what an abuser or victim looks like. Although traumatic events like this shock our community, it is important to remember that Northumberland County is no stranger to family and intimate partner violence, according to Cornerstone.

Each year, Cornerstone serves thousands of women and children through shelter, counselling and prevention programs. Cornerstone makes every effort to influence, educate and collaborate with the community, while working closely with community partners to connect victims and their families to local services.

Cornerstone believes that building and maintaining strategic partnerships with the local and wider communities is essential to meeting the needs of clients. It is through recognizing and understanding the warning signs of abuse that it is possible to change the outcome of such situations before they become fatal. These could include safety planning and support for victims and their families, building awareness and skills for professionals and the community, and focusing on prevention initiatives.

Northumberland Hills Hospital creates plan after deadly shooting Northumberland — The presence of an active shooter inside Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) was new territory for the community hospital, so staff have created a new “go-forward” plan following the deadly incident.

Since the shooting in the hospital’s emergency department on Oct. 27, staff have held eight meetings to discuss the incident while highlighting key themes for the future of the hospital, which include: • Support those affected by the incident • Security • Information and communication • Training and education “As hard as it has been to see and express the raw emotions felt after a traumatic incident like the one our hospital experienced on the night of Oct. 27, it has also been helpful to begin the process of releasing some of those emotions,” President and CEO Linda Davis said.

“Titles and roles were not relevant to those discussions. It was a chance for us to highlight one common bond: we’re human and we’re hurting, each in our own way, and we need to talk it through.”

Ontario’s Special Investigation Unit (SIU) continues to investigate the situation that ended with an elderly couple dead following a shooting inside the Cobourg hospital’s emergency room. The incident began after the couple was admitted to the emergency department for unknown ailments, Jon Ansell, the lead investigator said. The couple was side-by-

side on gurneys in a triage room when a shot was heard after 11 p.m. Ansell explained nurses found an elderly woman with a head wound upon entering the room. Cobourg Police quickly responded and encountered a 70-year-old man. Two officers discharged their firearms and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The hospital resumed regular service in the emergency department the following morning.

NHH leadership worked closely this week with Cobourg Police chief Kai Liu, volunteer chaplain Andrew Truter and the hospital’s employee and family assistance provider to facilitate a series of internal

“emotion” debriefings for anyone involved in or affected by the incident.

Following discussions, the hospital is offering an “expanded contract with NHH’s existing security provider, G4S Security, to increase NHH coverage to include an additional 24/7 security guard in the (emergency department) beginning this month.”

A second action will see the introduction of joint training for staff with local police on what to do to minimize risk if a weapon is discovered in the hospital.

Furthermore, the hospital highlighted another theme that emerged during the meetings: gratitude.

“As difficult as the past week has been, there is broad agreement that we have much to be grateful for as a hospital team and a community,” Davis said. “At the top of this list is the quick and professional response of the Cobourg Police Service.

We see our local police as family and they have told us the feeling is mutual.

“We are also grateful for the response of our own team and our partners,” she continued. “Everyone in the building that night and in the hours and days afterward played an important role in our response.

“Partners in our community and around the province have also been quick to reach out with offers of help. Patients, friends and colleagues have flooded us with food, coffee and messages of support.

“We are grateful for it all.”

LHIN puts hold on Trenton’s Health Hub decision

BY ERIN STEWART

Belleville – The decision on where Trenton’s Community Health Hub will be located has been put on hold, for now.

The board of the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN) moved a recommendation Monday to hold a meeting for the original Implementation Task Force members, who no longer hold meetings, to inform them of a controversial decision to have the health hub located on Murphy Street – not the preferred location on Catherine Street next to Trenton Memorial Hospital.

Since higher-than-recommended contaminants were found in the soil on Catherine Street – with a price tag of $760,000 for remediation – the Belleville and Quinte West Community Health Centre’s (CHC) current location downtown Trenton on Murphy Street became the recommended site, states an SE LHIN release.

The decision sparked concern and disappointment from some task force members including some from Our TMH, resulting in a bus of about 40 Our TMH members to protest and sit in during the open meeting at the SE LHIN offices in Belleville Thursday evening.

Paul Huras, CEO at the SE LHIN, said he is concerned about the risks associated with building on Catherine Street, as outlined in an environmental report, commissioned by Quinte Health Care (QHC).

The extensive report was completed in August, followed by a risk management report and a subsequent order-of-magnitude costing estimate.

Huras said he is concerned about a number of issues, including the timeliness of the project, remediation costs and the cost of ongoing monitoring of the site with possible remediation costs in the future.

“I have to measure risk and I have to determine about the risks going forward, and if I think

the risk is too great I’m not going to recommend it going forward,” said Huras. “There’s contaminants in the soil and further investigation is required, that’s a concern for a lot of people right now.”

The report stated that limited groundwater data was available, which Huras said is a concern as more time, money and investigation would be needed to complete additional tests.

Another issue brought up in the report was the

need for regular monitoring and maintenance of the soil and/or groundwater. With that in mind, Huras said he is concerned about the ongoing additional costs and the potential of additional remediation needed in the future.

In order to move the project forward in a timely matter, Huras said the best option is Murphy Street.
