was Sgt. Jason Peterson with 426 Transport Training Squadron at 8 Wing Trenton.

The active service member was proud to attend the ceremony with his family.

“The most important thing is remembering all the sacrifices that we’ve made in the history of Canada,” he said. “We don’t want to lose the memories we have and the ones we are yet to create.”

Peterson, who has served in the military for close to 17 years, then stopped to take a moment to look at the hundreds of people around him showing their support for the military.

Overcome with emotion, he said he had been amazed by the community support and couldn’t imagine a society where people could ever forget the sacrifices of those who fought so many years ago.

“It’s just amazing to see everyone here,” he said, “and it makes me proud because I love what I do.”

Dozens of wreaths were then laid at the cenotaph on behalf of various groups, including Korean War veterans and for those still currently serving.

Following the ceremony, taking the time to place a poppy on the 8 Wing Trenton wreath was Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, Const. William Russell.

Although stationed in La Loche, Sask., Russell said he had been home visiting family in the Quinte region and wanted to do his part in paying respect to Canada’s veterans.

“We have to remember where we came from, as well as where we’re going,” he said. “These ceremonies highlight the

Trenton – Both the young and old took the time to honour Canada's servicemen and women of past and present.

Hundreds descended upon the Trenton cenotaph for the annual Remembrance Day ceremony on Nov. 11.

A quiet hush fell over the crowd as the Last Post rang out as those in attendance then took the time to reflect on the sacrifices of those before them.

In that moment, the only sounds that could be heard were that of the occasional sniffle caused by the cold November air.

Addressing the crowd, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 110 president Douglas Duff thanked everyone for their attendance.

He then went on to share the importance of remembering Canada's veterans.

“No matter how much time passes, no word of condolence can ease a survivor’s grief,” he said. “We need to reflect on their service and sacrifices every day and live in gratitude with the precious gift they have give us — our freedom.”

Moving forward, Duff said the best way to honour the legacy of those who gave their lives for their country was to continue to take care of those that are currently serving in the Canadian Armed Forces.

“We must ensure that these individuals are never forgotten and their actions stay alive in our memories,” he said. “We must strengthen our programs and services that our injured and ill veterans rely on daily.”

Russell added that Remembrance Day also held a special place in his heart since he had served more than eight years in the military.

Frankford Remembers LHIN decision on Community Health Hub site may come this week

BY ERIN STEWART

Lieutenant-Colonel Brent Hoddinott lays a wreath during the Frankford Remembrance Day ceremony.

Frankford — More than 200 people attended the Remembrance Day ceremony held at the Frankford Cenotaph on Saturday, Nov. 11.

The community remembered the men and women who have died in the line of duty and the members who have served and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict and peace with a large ceremony.

Community members laid wreaths upon wreaths against the cenotaph during the ceremony and Monty Elliston, second vice-president of the Frankford Legion Branch 387, said he was happy with the attendance.

“They understand what went on and they support the veterans by coming out this way,” said El-

liston, who took part in the parade. “For a small town like this I thought it was an exceptionally large turnout.”

Like every year, the Frankford Legion hosted an open house following the Remembrance Day ceremony with chili and refreshments.

“The hall fills up afterwards, everyone is cool and they get warmed up with something to eat, the hot chili the ladies prepare there is great,” said Elliston.

Elliston wanted to say a big thank you to the local scouts who helped canvas during the poppy campaign and the 173 cadet squadron who served at the veterans dinner and stood vigil at the cenotaph during the Remembrance Day ceremony.

Belleville — The site of the Community Health Hub remains undetermined after a meeting with environmental experts and Quinte West’s mayor took place on Thursday, Nov. 9.

Paul Huras, CEO of the South East Local Health Integration Network, hosted a meeting with the experts who wrote the final report and did the environmental testing on Catherine Street, a potential site of the Community Health Hub owned by Quinte Health Care (QHC).

Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison, Quinte West city staff, a QHC representative and Belleville and Quinte West Community Health Centre (CHC) representatives also attended the meeting to raise questions and gain clarity on the final report.

The meeting was closed to the media.

After the meeting, Huras said the information presented at the meeting was very helpful and gave clarity on some topics, but he needs more time to make a decision.

“I can’t tell you where I am in my degree of satisfaction that I have all the answers at this point, I’m going to think about this for a bit more time; not long, because we do want to make a decision certainly as quickly as possible,” said Huras.

The meeting was scheduled after last week’s controversial decision by the SE LHIN’s board to change the preferred site of the Community Health Hub and CHC to Murphy Street in downtown Trenton on the CHC’s current property instead of the initial site on Catherine Street, next to Trenton Memorial Hospital.

The site change was brought forward because higher-than-recommended contaminants were found in the soil on Catherine Street —

with a price tag of $760,000 for remediation — which was discussed by the hub’s task force committee last week where a number of concerns and questions were raised.

After speaking with the experts, Huras said some of his concerns are not as great as they were last week and the $760,000 price tag for remediation seems to be on the high end of the estimate.

Brad Harrington, QHC vicepresident and chief financial officer, addressed issues that needed clarity after last week’s meeting, including groundwater testing.

“There is no more further testing of groundwater that is required, there’s no risk to human health and there’s no migration of any of these contaminants offsite,” said Harrington, noting that they’ve got the all-clear on the groundwater.

There has been spread of the contamination over the site — a current parking lot — but it’s not migrating, Harrington said, so somehow the soil had moved at some point, but it’s not migrating.

Harrison said he is in support of the Catherine Street location over Murphy Street and said the city of Quinte West is willing to work with the SE LHIN, offering city resources for the project.

Harrison offered to accommodate the soil that needs to be removed at the city’s Frankford landfill site, to help with the costs of removing the contaminated soil.

“If it has to be removed, we can accommodate it; we will work with you in any way we can to make it acceptable,” said Harrison, adding that he is thankful the concept is moving forward.

“No one is going to lose because of this project; we’re going to gain, all of the residents in the area are going to be better-served,” he said.

While his initial concerns are not as great following the second meeting, Huras said there are fac-

tors he still needs to consider.

“I’m not convinced right at the moment that there isn’t some additional testing that’s required, that’s one of the issues I’m thinking about,” he said.

Ongoing remediation costs could still be a risk but may not require major additional costs or be a huge additional risk, said Huras.

Huras and representatives from the CHC have stressed the timeliness of the project.

“The issue of timeliness is extremely important to us but there are some factors to weigh here,” he said. “I still need to consider exactly what I heard which could decrease the risk of it being a long delay.”

Sheila Braidek, executive director of the CHC, acknowledged the CHC’s support of the health hub and stressed the importance of the project moving forward quickly.

The CHC has outgrown its current building on Murphy Street, consisting of three trailers, and it’s negatively impacting the CHC’s ability to provide services.

Since CHC’s building project had already been approved, the project has been delayed for more than a year in order to align the CHC’s build with the health hub, putting the CHC and health hub under one roof with the goal to better integrate and co-ordinate services.

From her perspective, Braidek said she is in favour of the downtown location on Murphy Street, which wouldn’t need remediation.

“I think it serves the needs of the people that the CHC serves as a primary care health care organization,” she said. “We will go from here and see what the possibilities are. I’m pleased that we’re getting closure to a final decision. “ Huras said he is expecting to have a decision next week, which will then need to get approval from the Ministry of Health.

An angler who tried to “thaw” a boat motor after a morning fishing trip on the Bay of Quinte inadvertently burned his house Saturday in Wallbridge.

Quinte West Fire Chief John Whalen said an explosion in the garage caused the fire after the owner, an elderly man who lived in the home with his wife, lit a propane heater and placed it next to the motor after a morning fishing trip.

The fire broke out about 1 p.m.

It is believed the heater boiled the gas in the motor’s fuel line, producing fumes that sparked the explosion.

The house was a total loss, estimated at about $300,000 and the couple escaped the home unharmed.

Five hurt in OPP cruiser crash

A provincial police cruiser and a civilian vehicle remained in the intersection of Sidney and Dundas streets in Belleville as investigators pieced together the details of the violent crash.

Chris Malette/Metroland

Belleville - Five people, including two OPP officers and a prisoner they had in custody, were injured in a violent crash at the intersection of Sidney and Dundas streets late Thursday night, Nov. 9.

A large swath of Dundas Street West between Palmer Road and Sidney Street was cordoned off for a major OPP collision reconstruction investigation as well as investigation by the province’s Special Investigations Unit, as a result of the crash.

The collision occurred about 10:30 p.m. and involved an OPP SUV that had reportedly been transporting a person in custody

from Belleville to Quinte West. A small sedan with major damage to the front end remained in place for more than 24 hours in the intersection along with the OPP SUV, with airbags deployed hard against a concrete utility pole at the intersection.

The SIU issued a statement last Friday saying both OPP officers sustained serious injuries and the driver of the civilian vehicle, a 21-year-old man, also had serious injuries – though none to any involved were lifethreatening.

The SIU said it is seeking witnesses to the collision and anyone who may have seen the crash or what led up to it can call the lead investigator at 1-800787-8529.

“We have a lot of people in this area that grow food, make food, and all of the wine and beer that is now being made locally, so it really does give us a chance to showcase some of those products. “ Trevor McMillan, dining services manager at Seasons Dufferin Centre retirement community, said the event is a good idea to bring vendors from different industries together and showcase what they can do.

“For us specifically I think it’s good for us as a retirement home because we get to show the community what is available in the retirement sector,” he said. “People have an idea of what food is like at restaurants, but for a retirement home you get to showcase what food is like there as well.”

McMillian said they wanted to put forth a menu that they were excited about, with items that are on the menu at Seasons.

“We wanted to showcase food that we would serve our residents, one of the most popular An interactive walking tour of the Christmas Story items tonight is the pumpkin spice Featuring … panna cotta, that’s an item that is on Live Animals our menu,” he Angels 373 Bridge Street West, Belleville said.

Nine food vendors, three wineries, two breweries and one cider company were on hand at the annual event, offering samples to display what the Bay of Quinte region has to offer.

Suzanne Andrews, manager of the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce, said it’s a great opportunity to really showcase the local food and beverage industry.

“We call is social tasting, talking about the food with the caterers or the restaurateurs about the food that they have, talking to the wineries, it really is a nice opportunity for people to do that

OPINION

DisGrace in Zimbabwe Grace Mugabe, second wife of Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe, had a moment of awful clarity about her future three years ago.

Speaking about Joice Mujuru, the woman who was then viceand the Gwynne Dyer president elderly president’s likely successor, she said: “She has been telling people that once Mugabe is gone ... she will drag me in the streets, with people laughing while my flesh sticks to the tarmac.”

It’s doubtful that Mujuru said any such thing, but it was very revealing about Grace Mugabe’s fears. So she had a word with her husband, and Joice Mujuru was no longer vice-president. She was replaced by Emmerson Mnangagwa, who served as Mugabe’s special assistant during the liberation war of the 1970s and had been close to him ever since.

Mnangagwa survived an attempted poisoning in August, but now he is gone too.

People began to see him as the heir apparent, so on Sunday Grace Mugabe told a rally in Harare “The snake must be hit on the head.

We must deal with the real snake behind the factions and discord in the party.”

Last Monday, Mnangagwa was fired in an official statement that accused him of “traits of disloyalty.” It was almost verbatim the same statement that was issued when Joice Mujuru was dismissed in 2014 – and it is expected that Grace Mugabe will be appointed vice-president herself at a special congress of the ruling Zanu-PF party next month.

It looks like ambition run amok, but it’s actually more complicated than that. She is rich and powerful at the moment, but as Zimbabwean journalist Andy Moyse pointed out a couple of years ago: “She’s going to be terribly exposed once (Robert Mugabe) is gone because there’s no political structure to save her. She’s trying to entrench her position and her assets.”

Grace Marufu was a 20-year-old typist at State House in Harare when Robert Mugabe, 44 years her senior, started to take an interest in her. She was already married to her childhood sweetheart, an air force pilot, but one thing led to another and she had her first child with Mugabe as his wife lay dying of kidney failure. She later divorced her husband, and in 1996 she became Zimbabwe’s ‘First Lady’ by marrying Mugabe.

For the next 18 years she took no visible interest in politics, but her frequent and expensive shopping trips abroad – she allegedly once spent $120,000 in a single day in Paris, and she was spotted in the business class lounge at Singapore airport with fifteen trolleys full of purchases – made her deeply unpopular with the Zimbabwean public. She was known as the ‘First Shopper’, or ‘Gucci Grace’, or just ‘DisGrace’.

And then, three years ago, everything changed. It was probably just Mugabe’s advancing age that made her realize how vulnerable she would be after he died. He’s in pretty good shape for 93, but he clearly isn’t going to be around much longer. So she suddenly plunged into politics.

She had her husband make her the head of the powerful women’s league of the ruling Zanu-PF party, she was awarded a PhD in sociology by the University of Zimbabwe in the record time of two months (no thesis has ever surfaced), and Dr. Grace Mugabe started traveling around the country holding rallies that became known as the ‘Graceland Tour’.

All the senior members of Zanu-PF are quite rich, but she is probably the richest of all, so she has resources to buy allies. She has the Old Man wrapped around her finger, and he holds absolute power for as long as he stays alive and alert. In only three years she has shoved aside all the other contenders for the succession.

“They say I want to be president,” she said.

“Why not? Am I not Zimbabwean?” And president she will be after Robert Mugabe dies – at least for a week or two. But she has made a lot of enemies in the party, and she has no real popular support.

Grace Mugabe is literally a bare-knuckle fighter. In 2002 she beat up a journalist who offended her using a “knuckle-duster of diamond rings”, as one report put it. Just this September she assaulted a young South African “model” whom she caught visiting her grown sons, who are both living the high life in Johannesburg. She won’t go down easily – but she almost certainly will go down.

It was not Grace Mugabe who turned Zimbabwe into an economic wreck so extreme that most people’s main source of income is remittances from the fifth of the Zimbabwean population that has fled to South Africa or Botswana. Her husband is really to blame for this human disaster, but her extravagant spending makes her a target for the resentment too.

Once he dies, she will be lucky to get out alive.

Crash pundits, a hockey great and Vimy oaks Editorial by Chris Malette Some observations from the Editor’s Desk: In news items over the past week, we’ve seen some interesting, if not troubling, trends in social media, some sad milestones and a poignant gesture, the legacy of which will be experienced, hopefully, for generations to come.

First off, in Belleville we had a violent crash involving an Ontario Provincial Police cruiser and a civilian vehicle, a sedan, on Dundas Street West at Sidney Street late last Thursday night.

Your humble correspondent has covered countless car wrecks, too many of them fatal, over the years and this was a horrific impact – so much so that, had this collision involved vehicles on the road some 25-30 years ago, we would be talking about fatalities to most involved.

As it was, there were five people hurt – three of them seriously, two of those three police officers who were in a large Ford sport utility vehicle.

That vehicle wound up against a concrete utility pole and the occupants, the two coppers and a prisoner, were all taken to hospital. The driver of the other vehicle in this head-on wreck, not surprisingly, was also seriously hurt.

When we posted this item to our website, it appeared on other forums in the form of a news item with the photograph accompanying it.

The comments, while mostly respectful and observational, naturally veered to the cruel, the ignorant and the obscene.

A classic example of the seeming nonchalant habit of too many online pundits, these days, to simply spew their ill-bred, ill-informed opinions thusly: “Probably the cops fault. They don’t follow the law either. I’ve seen many use there (sic) phones while driving. Not wear seat belt. Pull through a light quick with lights on then turn them off. Etc. The list goes on.. so u really never know whose (sic) at fault. We got rear ended by a cop in tweed 5 years ago. Brutal!”

To which someone who supports police quickly responded: “Wow....didn’t take long for the “blame the cops” “it must have been the speeding cop” “cops will get away with it” “cops fault probably” comments to start pouring in.

Pathetic! Police officers aren’t perfect. They’re human beings and they’re flawed just like every other single human being on the face of this earth ...”

You get the idea. It can sometimes make your head spin to wade into the miasma that is the comments under news items on the Internet.

Still, it’s a necessary evil as we’re told this, ladies and gentlemen, is the future of our news reporting where everyone’s a pundit and the traditional news gatherers – us – are no longer to be trusted or believed to bring you the whole story…. Sigh.

••• It was with heavy hearts, for some of us who know the family or who, of a certain age, recall the sheer joy and pride that the hockey McFarlands brought to the region half a century ago when we learned of the passing of the team and family’s leader, Floyd Crawford.

Floyd died early Saturday morning surrounded by family members at age 88 and boy what a family it is.

Floyd’s hockey exploits have been extolled for decades in these parts, but it’s the legacy he leaves in his sons and daughters that many of us now know. As we reported this week, Floyd and wife Pauline raised nine rambunctious, athletic and terrific children in Belleville.

Many of those nine have stayed on in these parts to bring on another generation of Crawfords and, it says here, we’re the better for it.

Here’s to a terrific family and Cheers to a hockey hero and a mentor to many a young hockey player in these parts.

••• Finally, we saw this past week the planting of the last of four Vimy Oaks in these parts. Fascinating story behind them and let’s hope they fluourish, grow and serve as a silent sentinel for those who gave the final sacrifice at Vimy Ridge in the First War. As the story goes, to serve as a keepsake from his term of service, a Canadian soldier, Lt. Leslie Miller, removed acorns from a fallen oak tree at Vimy Ridge. He sent these home to be planted, on his farm, in Scarborough where the trees eventually flourished and were named The Vimy Oaks. The saplings produced from The Vimy Oaks will be used to replenish the Vimy Foundation Centennial Park, in France, and also serve as commemorative trees all across Canada.

Four Vimy Oak saplings were planted across the Bay of Quinte, in Bain Park, in Quinte West; Wellington Park, in Prince Edward County; Albert College, in Belleville; and Belleville’s Memorial Park.

Let’s hope they fare better than the Royal Oak that was allowed to wither and die on the parking lot of what is now the Metro Store plaza on North Front Street in Belleville.

Cadets honour veterans with candlelight vigil in Quinte West

Avro Lancaster helps celebrate 'Bison' squadron's 75th anniversary

BY MAKALA CHAPMAN

Trenton – Echoing like thunder, a fleet of Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft took to the skies on Nov. 7 to help commemorate 429 Transport Squadron’s 75th anniversary.

Amongst those taking part in the special flypast at 8 Wing Trenton was a Second World War Avro Lancaster from the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton.

Not far behind it a series of CC-130H Hercules and the squadron’s current aircraft, the CC-177 Globemaster, could also be seen flying overhead.

“It was fantastic,” said the celebrated squadron’s commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel (Lt.-Col.) Bryce Graham.

“Bringing the Lancaster here was a demonstration of the wide variety of aircraft that have supported and been a part of the squadron over the past 75 years.”

The ‘Bison’ as the transport squadron is also known as, have a rich history of supporting the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF).

Some of their most recent missions include helping offer support during the British Columbia wildfires, as well as in Puerto Rico during the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.

Lt.-Col. Graham went on to explain

that he couldn’t have been more proud to be leading the women and men that make up his squadron.

“The fantastic women, men, families are absolutely tremendous and inspire me to work harder every day,” he said. “I know our airlift capability is something that the Canadian people and the government are very proud of.”

Reflecting on Remembrance Day, he added that it was important to recognize the sacrifices of those who served with the Bison during the Second World War. “I literally stand on the shoulders of giants,” said. Lt.-Col. Graham. “We have to enrich ourselves with that history of heritage, especially with our children, because they are our future.”

Also in attendance for the ceremonial parade held at 8 Wing Trenton was Lieutenant-General Michael Hood, commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Having previously served as the commanding officer of 429 Transport Squadron in 2003, as well as the wing commander in 2007, Lt.-Gen. Hood said he was happy to be back home to celebrate the squadron’s milestone year.

“It’s fantastic to be here in front of one of the best squadron’s in the Royal Canadian Air Force,” he said.

Reflecting on the Bison’s role in the Sec-

ond World War, Lt.-Gen. Hood said they remained at the forefront and had served more than 269 combat missions.

During that time, he went on to explain that the squadron had lost more thane 70 aircraft, as well as close to 400 of its members.

“While there were gaps in our history, through all the iterations of the Bison, the one thing that has been the hallmark of this squadron is excellence,” he said. “Today’s Bison on parade should feel proud of the history and heritage of this squadron that they’re privileged to be part of.”

He went on to note the critical role the squadron continues to play and said the RCAF wouldn’t be what it is today without them.

“You are the face of the Royal Canadian Air Force and you will be everywhere we need to be, both domestic and expeditionary,” he said to Bison on parade. “I am exceptionally proud of the work that you do.”

As for the next 75 years, one thing Lt.Col. Graham said he hopes stays the same is the camaraderie and sense of family with the squadron and its members.

To help cap the anniversary celebrations, the squadron held a gala at the National Air Force Museum of Canada on the evening of Nov. 7.

December court date set in child porn case against Quinte West man

BY ERIN STEWART

Belleville — The first court date addressing the child pornography and sexual assault charges against a Quinte West man took place on Thursday, Nov. 9.

Tanner Neron did not appear in court, but the matter came before justice of the peace Sam L. Cureatz in a Belleville courtroom.

Duty counsel addressed the case on behalf of Neron’s Lawyer Ruth Roberts, who was absent from the court, stating that Roberts is still awaiting disclosure in the case.

The matter will be back before the court on Thursday, Dec. 14.

Neron is facing a total of eight charges, from both the Belleville Police Services and the Quinte West OPP.

STORE HOURS: Monday thru Sunday 8:00am - 10:00pm

On October 24, Neron was charged by the OPP with sexual assault on a person under 16, sexual interference with a person under 16 and making sexually explicit material available to a person under 16.

The 26-year-old was also charged with indecent exposure to a person under 16 and luring a person under 16 by means of telecommunications.

Belleville police initially arrested Neron on September 27 when police executed a search warrant at a Quinte West home.

At that time, Neron was charged with possession of child pornography, making sexually explicit material available to a person under the age of 16 and luring a person under the age of 16 by means of telecommunications.

Matt Duchene; the Yardmen Arena played host to Bobby Ryan and his 223 NHL goals as he practiced with the team while rehabbing a broken finger.

Even still, the team continues to grow in the community and at the Yardmen Arena.

On November 10th and 11th, more than 300 members of the Canadian Armed Forces and their families attended and were honoured for their service. At the same time, the Belleville Senators launched their 50/50 draw with the Ottawa Senators Foundation, raising more than $9,000 during these two games

to be redirected within the local community. These two instances mark the start of what is meant to be a long and concerted effort to support the Bay of Quinte community and its residents.

“We could not be more pleased with the support that we have received from our fans and partners in the region,” said Rob Mullowney, Chief Operating

Officer of the team. “We look forward to making good on our intentions to reciprocate this support and continue giving back to the region several times over.”

At the same time, fans now have several new ways to attend and enjoy games. The team recently announced the launch of season ticket options in the Mezzanine and Fan Zone balconies at the south end of the arena. With each location poised atop of an infinite edge almost directly above the boards, fans can own a table with four chairs and receive in-seat service as they take in

the game from breathtaking sightlines.

The team will also be hosting a “Pick your Seat” event at the Yardmen Arena on Saturday, November 18th, where fans can tour the arena between 10:30AM and 12:30PM and learn more about different ticketing options and group outings. Fans will also have the opportunity to reserve a seat for the remaining 23 home games of the season, starting in the New Year.

Jr Saints lose a thriller at Paddon Hawks pull through field, Chargers 0-2 at COSSA with OT win over Aurora

Belleville - The final game every to be played on Paul Paddon Field at Quinte Secondary School turned out to be a barn-burner.

The Saints played host there to the COSSA AAA junior football final Wednesday afternoon at Paddon Field and gave fans everything they could have hoped for in falling 29-22 to Peterborough Thomas A Stewart in double overtime.

The Saints looked out of it, down 21-0 in the second quarter and 21-7 at halftime before they battled back to force a double Texas shootout style overtimeat 22-22 at the end of regulation.

Quinte’s Matthew Berry ran in a two-point conversion from one yard out that tied the game in the dying seconds of the fourth quarter and sent the contest into O.T. Saints Jakob Akey racked up three touchdowns for the Saints and picked off a pass on defence. Berry, along with his crucial two-point conversion, kicked two PATs. For TAS, powerhouse running back Max Levaseur had a trio of TDs plus Trenton Golden Hawks captain Mac Lewis in the team’s special RCAF a punt single. Robin French caught

the game-winning touchdown from Griffins quarterback Daniel Milburn, plus booted four PATs. On defence, Noah Thompson had two INTs. In senior COSSA play Thursday, it was Centennial Chargers’ turn to lose at the hands of a Peterborough squad, after a 17-5 loss to the Peterborough Crestwood Mustangs in the COSSA AAA final at MAS Park.

Crestwood conceded a two-point rouge to Chargers and the only scoring for the previously unbeaten CSS squad was in the form of a 35-yard field goal by Chargers kicker Connor Cruickshank.

It turned out to be a grim Thursday, all around, for Centennial’s football program as the Chargers juniors were blanked 17-0 in Fenelon Falls in the COSSA AA junior final there, falling to Adam Scott Lions.

Quinte Saints Jakob Akey (#10) was the one-man scoring machine for the Quinte Saints in the Junior AAA COSSA final last week in the last game at Paul Paddon Field.

tors, agreed to take on the role, in part because he could help with the evolution of the new Belleville Senators franchise.

“My dad and mom have always said that Belleville is a great place to raise kids and it really is,” Marc is quoted as saying in a story on the Crawford family in the recent edition of Belleville magazine.

Floyd also acted as coach, assistant coach, scout, director of player personnel and mentor to countless young hockey players since his playing career finished in the 1960s.

He coached the Trenton Bobcats to an Ontario junior B title and also guided Team Ontario to a gold medal at the Canada Games in 1984.

He was enshrined into the Belleville Sports Hall of Fame in 1992.

Visitation will be held on Monday and Tuesday from 2-4pm and 6-8 pm at the Steele Funeral Home, 30 Moira Street West in Belleville. Funeral Mass will take place Wednesday November 15 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Michael The Archangel Church on Church Street in Belleville. Cremation will follow the service.

Belleville – The patriarch of Belleville’s most famous hockey family and a hockey legend in his own right has died.

Floyd Crawford died early Saturday morning while surrounded by family members, at age 88.

Crawford moved to Belleville in 1957 to play for the Belleville McFarlands Senior A hockey team. He will forever be remembered for leading the McFarlands to an Allen Cup championship in 1958 and a World Championship title in 1959.

His photo, along with his teammates, hangs outside Belleville’s now dormant Memorial Arena downtown.

He and his wife Pauline Crawford would go on to raise nine children in Belleville.

Three of their sons, Bobby, Marc and Lou, went on to play in the National Hockey League. The other six kids, Susan, Danielle, Eric, Todd, Peter and Michael, also all grew to be successful adults.

The Crawford family name can be found on almost every recognizable hockey trophy; the Memorial Cup, the Calder Cup and the Stanley Cup, as Marc Crawford won the famous trophy as coach of the Colorado Avalanche in 1996.

Belleville – In the world of film festivals, the Hollywood North Film Festival is not yet a blockbuster.

The crowds and the hype leading up to it are modest, compared to the well-established Downtown DocFest held every March in Belleville.

And this year it had to share the spotlight with the Quinte Canadian Filmfest, which took place in October and had the same goal of highlighting the region’s rich filmmaking history.

But the two men behind HNFF continue to soldier on. This year’s festival, Nov. 10 to 12, was the third in its history and it gathered 300 film submissions; much more than could actually be shown through the weekend The opening gala, on Friday, Nov. 10 at Belleville’s Empire Theatre, featured an appearance by recording artist Tyler Shaw, who was the star of its opening film, The Meaning of Life. A post-gala reception was later held at Signal Brewing.

In an interview ahead of Friday’s festivities, festival director Jacob Cote said the event has grown every year.

He and his co-festival director, Rob Hoekstra, remain committed to it, even though they both live in different cities now. Cote lives in Vancouver and Hoekstra lives in Toronto.

They both have busy careers, but enjoy coming to their hometown for the event, which they work on throughout the year.

The festival is a passion project for them – just as some of the films shown are passion projects for their makers.

“We don’t make any money off of this,” Cote said. “We’ll end up with a zero budget, if all goes well.”

But, Cote believes there’s a core of film fanatics in the region to support such a festival and that there are several filmmakers who need opportunities to showcase their work.

The festival continued with a full day of screening at Trenton’s Centre Theatre on Saturday, Nov. 11, followed by an evening screening of Brigsby Bear, one of the few films made by a large company.

Faithful fostering earns accolades for the Parsons

BY JACK EVANS

Foster parenting is not for the faint of heart, longtime foster parents Ernie and Linda Parsons agree.

The Parsons attended an annual banquet recently to mark November as Foster Parents Month, as they usually do, but were “totally surprised” to receive a special recognition award for their devotion to fostering.

Ernie, a well-known Quinte area resident, former MPP and a board member of the Children’s Aid Society for many years, commented: “I looked around that room and thought of so many foster parents I knew who deserved the award more than us.

I know some who took on some really challenging cases – ones that I would not have wanted.”

In an interview last week at their Stirling area home, Ernie and his wife, Linda, summed up their experiences as “challenging, but rewarding.” The award was in the shape of a narrow signboard, handcrafted with the wording: “Our family is a circle of strength and love,” and both are proud to display it in their rural kitchen.

Ernie recalled how he felt so rewarded at becoming a foster parent that he volunteered to serve on the children’s aid agency’s board to help pay it back. He remained on it in various roles, including chair, for 25 years, resigning because of potential conflict of interest after he was elected as MPP and assigned duties to look after that portfolio in the Liberal government of the time.

The two have been so active as foster parents over the years that they can’t accurately report the number of children they have been involved with. “It would be somewhere around 40,” said Parsons. “Some of them were only with us for a short time.”

The two recounted stories of children who, once they had earned their confidence, often turned abysmal school records around, thanks to safe shelter, adequate meals and a warm bed. They talked about how it was a complete family effort with their own children assisting in welcoming and helping the

foster children and the sacrifices their own children made, losing desired quality time to the visitors who needed their parents’ attention even more.

They reviewed the disturbing fact of being construed as the “enemy” by birth parents and the agony of dealing with innocent

stand-by grandparents.

“We were not supposed to talk to any of the family,” said Ernie, “but if we bumped into them at the mall or on the street, we would chat. Most of the parents also overcame their animosity and became friends later.”

He had high praise for new trends in foster care, including, many years ago a change in policy from “what’s best for the family” to “what’s best for the child.”

“I can’t think of any case of a child taken into CAS care that was not best for the child,” said Ernie. And he had high praise for the new policies which he called “kin care,” – trying to find a suitable family relative as the first choice for placement. The results are showing a great improvement, he added.

He also recalled the formation of the original Hastings CAS Foundation. “I was on the board at the time and opposed the idea, but I was wrong. That has been a tremendously successful operation on behalf of the children, with improved care and education opportunities.”

He cautioned adults getting involved as foster parents in hopes of making money.

“You probably won’t lose any, but I can’t see actually making money.”

Both he and Linda also praised the training program the CAS offers to prospective new foster parents and urged people to attend all classes.

As Christmas approaches, Parsons said Christmases for foster children is a particularly difficult time. He also noted that it usually takes up to several months to build trust with the children.

The bottom line is, “There is always a need for good foster parents,” he said.

Plan for tree growth, save those trees

BY CARSON ARTHUR For the last few years, I’ve been getting more homeowners questioning the large trees in their yards. After ice storms, hurricane force winds, and now record snowfalls, the trees on our prop-

erties have taken quite a beating.

Before you decide to get rid of your trees in favour of less yard word, there are a few things you might want to consider. According to the Appraisal Institute of Canada, and Tree Canada, trees are not just important for the environment; they have real value when it comes to your actual home. Trees on your property can be worth more then $19000 and save you more than $175 dollar on your energy bills.

• All of the current research shows that homebuyers prefer houses on streets that have trees. In fact, properties with healthy mature trees show an increased value of between 3 and 5% over homes that have none. This means that on the average Canadian home, those trees are worth between $10500 and $19000 • Trees are nature’s outdoor climate control but they also impact the inside of your home. A well-placed tree that

shades your home in the hot summer months can save you up to $55 each year, and an additional $120 in winter heating costs.

When it comes to the winter months, most homeowners would rather be inside under a blanket beside a fireplace. Unfortunately, there are a lot of outdoor jobs that get pushed off into spring that really should get done right now. Once the leaves have fallen off your shrubs and bushes, its time to prune and reshape. Before you go crazy however, scratch the surface of the plants to make sure that there is no green under the bark. If it’s all dried out, then that branch can be removed without causing the plant any serious damage. This is also the perfect time to bring in your arbourist to tackle any of the big limbs and dead wood, which may snap off during the winter and cause damage to your home and property If you are now looking forward to 2018 and might be considering adding a new tree, there are a few

things simple rules to picking the right one. The type of tree makes a big difference when it comes to valuation. Trees that don’t do well in an urban setting can negatively impact the homes around them. Species like willow, poplar, balsam fir and Manitoba maple all have less than desirable qualities, making them better for rural locations. The best deciduous trees for home valuation continue to be the ones with great fall colour like Autumn Blaze Maple or the slower growing varieties like Oaks because they provide more shade and stay healthier longer.

After doing a series of videos and instructional pieces for Ontree.ca, I learned that the location of your trees is also important. If you are planting new trees this spring around your home, use these simple tips as a good general guideline for placement.

• Evergreens and conifers should be placed on the north side of your property.

That way they help to block

the cold winds in the wintertime. To maximize their effectiveness, don’t plant your evergreens in a straight line.

Instead, stagger then in a zigzag pattern • Plant your shade trees on the south side of the property to create the most protection from the summer sun. Make sure you follow the individual planting guidelines for each type of tree that you plant.

Don’t assume that all trees grow the same, even if they come from the same family.

Instead of removing those valuable assets, proper care makes a lot more sense. You wouldn’t throw out your car before a mechanic took a look at it. The same goes for a tree in your yard. Have an arbourist come in to remove those dead branches and missing bark to ensure that your tree not only stays healthy, it continues to make you money for your home investment.

BY JACK EVANS

The Quinte area continues to make waves in the Eastern Ontario Drama League with s major win at the annual one-act festival in recent days.

With nine theatre companies across the region taking part, a comedy by Belleville up and coming playwright Peter Paylor, won the People’s Choice award for “Tea With Roger,” and also the Special Adjudicator’s Outstanding Performance Award. The latter was designated for two Belleville women who featured in the two local entries, Kathryn Dalmer and Judy Preece, plus the Old Church Theatre and the play’s producer, Nancy Garrod and director Scott Roodevoets and the Bellevillle Theatre Guild. The People’s Choirce Award is sponsored by the Brighton

Barn Theatre, so is a replica of the famous Presqu’ile lighthouse.

This was one of two plays by Paylor performed at the Bonisteel Old Church Theatre a few weeks ago and won rave reviews at that time. Two senior women meet over tea to discuss the fate of one their husbands who thumps his way through the play while bound and gagged in a nearby closet. The second play, “The Green Thumb Gang,” also starred Dallmer and Preece as two inept house burglars and was entered by the Belleville Theatre Guild.

Meanwhile, Paylor’s first play, “Rosewood: Tales from the Tavern” which has also drawn popular support throughout the region, is being re-staged over the next few weeks.

Take a luxury river cruise on Portugal’s ‘River of Gold’ our route, and we learned that about half of the world’s supply of cork is produced right here in Portugal. The cork industry is generally regarded as ‘environmentally friendly’ for the tree is not cut down to obtain cork.

Instead, it’s simply de-barked, so the tree continues to live – and the bark re-grows.

Once a cork tree is about 25 years old, the cork tree is stripped of its bark for the first time, but that first cutting is usually not of a very good quality. It improves with age, so the next bark stripping, 9 years later, is usually much better in quality; then the debarking continues, every 9 years, for the rest of the life of the tree. Before this cruise, if I thought of cork, I’d immediately think of a wine bottle. After all, the cork’s elasticity and near-impermeability makes it wonderful as a bottle stopper. However, as a result of this trip, I saw that cork was used in a great number of other products, too, including wallets, purses, belts, jewellery, hats, and badminton shuttlecocks. It’s also used for automotive gaskets, trivets, bulletin boards, insulation, fishing floats and buoys, and as floor and wall tiles. It’s quite the product – and it’s considered nonallergenic and a natural fire retardant.

Not only did we see a lot of cork trees and products, but olive trees were also very plentiful. This fruit is picked and fermented, and the curing process can take quite some time (even several months).

My wife and I recently took a wonderful river cruise on Portugal’s Douro River.

“Douro” roughly translates from Portuguese as “River of Gold”, and as the sun sets over it in the evening, you may better grasp why the river has been so named, for the water gleams a golden colour.

The Douro River trip, between Porto and Barca d’Alva, is primarily along Portugal’s terraced vineyards, through its renowned wine region, so we passed many quintas (wine estates) that cling to the nearby slopes and, of course, we had an ‘up close and personal look’ - and tasting - at several of these on our daily excursions from the Viking Torgil, our cruise ship. Since we were in and near Porto, port wine was the specialty.

However, this marvelous voyage wasn’t just about wine alone, for there was a lot of information about cork, olives, and ceramic tiles, too.

We were particularly blown away about all that we learned about cork during this cruise, for we saw many cork trees along

The Viking Torgil, on Portugal’s Douro River.

However, to really learn about the history of these tiles, and perhaps even make your own decorative tile to take home with you, I’d recommend a visit to Lisbon’s National Tile Museum.

Our trip actually began in Lisbon, Portugal’s capital, and here we stayed at the luxurious Hotel Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa before travelling, by bus, to Portugal’s second largest city, Porto (home to port, the area’s renowned fortified wine). We then boarded our boat and began our actual cruise. We soon docked at the historic town of Regua, and near here we visited the Mateus Palace and Gardens (this palace is actually pictured on the Mateus wine label). Next we arrived at the sleepy little town of Pinhao, where we checked out the aforementioned, spectacular ceramic tiles in its train station, and then we headed, by bus, to the nearby tiny village of Favaois, where we watched bakers making bread in the traditional way. Of course,

we just had to try a sample of the bread after it emerged from the aged oven that was heated by wood and old grapevines – and it was still warm and very tasty. Another stop along the river was at Lamego, where a hilltop chapel, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies, may be reached via 686 steps up a grand double staircase. We learned that many pilgrims make the strenuous ascent on their knees! Near the Spanish border, we stopped at Castelo Rodrigo, a medieval fortress town that was so interesting that I plan to write a separate piece about it in the future. While near the border, we also took a day trip into Spain – to visit Salamanca, Spain’s oldest college town (another intriguing destination!).

Our river cruise took us to Barca d’Alva, the last Portuguese town on the Douro River, and back to Porto. This provided us with a very enjoyable exploration of this region, and we not only loved our daily shore excursions, but we also had a great time while on board, too.

Drivers don PJs in support of kids with cancer

LifeLabs last week announced its partnership with the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) as lead sponsor of the Pajamas and Pancakes program.

To mark the occasion, LifeLabs employees flipped pancakes and shared a pancake breakfast in their LifeLabs pajamas to raise funds and awareness in support of POGO. Proceeds from the event went directly to POGO’s mission to increase access to state-of-the-art cancer care for children and families in Ontario, support education and research initiatives and provide financial support for children and families battling cancer.

“POGO - a champion of so many young people and families as they journey through kid’s cancer, needs champions to help meet the challenges and embrace the opportunities of the future.

We are thrilled to welcome LifeLabs as our “Proud Partner” to our new program “Pajamas and Pancakes”. LifeLabs’ commitment allows us to sustain our unique mission to provide access to the best available support for every child in Ontario who has met the monster called cancer, and to the families who love and so desperately want to protect those children. Thank you LifeLabs, for joining

Powered By Love, a book, a movement are born Belleville – Quinte Grannies for Africa hosted the launch of the book Powered

By Love, a Grandmother’s Movement to End AIDS in Africa on Thursday Nov. 2.

The guests danced into the room with the song ‘Grandmothers Rising’ written and composed by Jeanette Arsenault.

A panel discussion was moderated by Mama Ida, a native of Zambia, former field worker and senior advisor to the Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF). Mama Gladys, a grandmother at the project, Grandmothers against Poverty and AIDS (GAPA) and Mama Daisy, staff

member at GAPA, talked about how they became involved and what the project provides.

The guests danced from the room to the SLF Foundation song: Powered by Love. All books sold were signed by the guests. The books are for sale at Chapters and, according to the Quinte Grannies for Africa, “are a great Christmas gift.” Part of the proceeds from the book sales go to the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

our league of champions.” said POGO spokespersonLynn Wilson, Chief Development Officer.

The Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) accommodated 2800 patients this fiscal year through their 7 AfterCare clinics. For child cancer patients, pajamas symbolize hospital stays, being sick and missing school and playtime with friends.

Making pajamas the visual identifier in raising child

cancer awareness, LifeLabs was a proud partner to host the first annual PJs and Pancakes fundraiser this morning to champion kids’ cancer care and build a healthier Canada.

LifeLabs couriers, key to the pick-up and delivery of patient specimens and much more, sported their LifeLabs branded PJs while out on their routes to hospitals, clinics, and labs, showing support for kids with cancer.

Quinte West - The third annual Tribute to the Brave concert by the Quinte Symphony is this Sunday, Nov. 19 at 2 p.m. at the National Air Force Museum of Canada.

As in past years, the orchestra will be joined by the 8 Wing Concert Band and the 8 Wing Pipes and Drums in a concert that will include stirring music designed for the Remembrance Week season, including the patriotic fervour of Sibelius’ “Finlandia,” wartime songs and and swing, including “In the Mood” and military marches.

Symphony officials report they are pleased to add to this year’s program the Trenton-based Military

Wives Choir.

There will be only one performance, at 2 p.m. with some 500 seats available. Tickets are available at The Quinte Arts Council office, Belleville, and Sam the Record Man (Quinte Mall,) The Military Family Resource Centre at CFB Trenton, Books and Company, Picton and on line from www.thequintesymphony. com.

Pancreatic cancer is the 12th leading cause of cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer death in Canada. In 2017, it is expected that 5,500 Canadians will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and about 4,800 will die from the disease.

The pancreas is a part of the digestive system and it is a flat, pear-shaped gland that is behind the stomach.

this statistic. We are the largest national charitable funder of pancreatic cancer research in Canada. This year so far, we are committed to funding 15 research projects related to pancreatic cancer, representing an overall commitment of $7.7 million from CCS plus an additional $1.2 million from our generous funding partners.

Despite a concentrated effort to develop treatments for pancreatic cancer, it remains among the most aggressive and often untreatable cancers. CCS-funded researcher Dr John Bell from The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute has over a decade of experience developing anti-cancer viruses that can selectively kill cancer cells while leaving normal ones unharmed. Some are showing promise in clinical trials; however, they do not yet work in all patients. Dr Bell is aiming to develop viruses that are more potent and active against pancreatic cancer cells, which could also be used to treat other cancers in the future.
