‘Weeks’ until reopening, Walmart paying 240 employees BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton – The roughly 240 employees at Trenton’s Walmart Supercentre continue to be paid for scheduled shifts while work is done to clean up and re-stock after a fire on Tuesday Nov. 15. Alex Robertson, senior director of corporate affairs for Walmart Canada, said all employees are being paid according to their schedules and will continue to be paid while the store is closed. “They are still being paid,” said Robertson. “Our focus now is getting the store cleaned up and then we will have to restock it because a lot of the merchandise has been damaged by smoke. So there’s work to get the store setup that those associates will help do as well.” Associates and contractors are working around the clock to get the store reopened as quickly as possible, said Robertson. He said he expects it will be “a matter of weeks” before the store is ready to be reopened. “We want to make sure that the store is back up to the standards the customers expect,” he said. Massive inventory loss, owing to smoke and water damage, is pushing estimates for the cost of damage at around $4 million. Robertson said all merchandise has to be assessed and products that can be donated will be given to charities, but most of the products will have to be destroyed. “A lot of the product has to be destroyed unfortunately,” he said. “Anything that was damaged, we would like to donate as much as we can, but we have to make sure that the product we make available for donation is actually safe to donate. “If a product shouldn’t be sold because it’s damaged or it’s contaminated then it shouldn’t be donated either, so that’s what we’re looking into.”

Quinte West Fire Chief John Whelan said the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office has completed its investigation and the Quinte West OPP are now taking over the investigation as of Friday, Nov. 18. Whelan said there is no comment on the cause of the fire at this time. The blaze, described as relatively small in scope and in-
tensity, touched off alarms and sprinklers at about 3 a.m. Tuesday Nov. 15 in a storage room behind the footwear department of the store. It was put out shortly after firefighters arrived, but damage from smoke and water throughout the store is extensive.

and practice winter driving techniques before you need them and check road and weather conditions ahead of time. Also, Ludington said people should remove all snow from vehicles before each trip, give yourself extra travel time in bad weather, avoid using cruise control on slippery roads, travel with a fully charged cell phone and slow down and wear your seatbelt. Winter driving can be risky and prevention is better than recovery, Ludington added. Using these tips will make roads safer during the winter months for everyone.

United Way of Quinte sees increase in requests for funding Belleville – The United Way of Quinte has received requests from 29 agencies so far this year, with a total value of $1,023,900. Those numbers, gathered after the first phase of the fundraising agency’s request for proposal process that closed on Oct. 21, represents an increase over previous years and speaks to the importance of the current campaign. The United Way is in the midst of a $2.115 million campaign, which ends on New Year’s Eve. “This process is why we raise money in the first place,” explained executive director Judi Gilbert, “It’s why we run a fundraising campaign.” Because of a new strategy launched last year to provide multi-year funding to agencies, the pressure is on the United Way to succeed in its fundraising goal this year. “We funded 60 programs, 23 of which re-
ceived commitments for a three-year period”, explained Amy Watkins, Director of Community Investments. “Multiyear funding has been received very well by the agencies and we all recognize that long-term, sustainable solutions to social issues in our communities require long-term, sustainable resources. “The second year of that three year commitment is paid through the funds raised in this current fundraising campaign which means that over $500,000 of the funds we would typically allocate this year have already been committed.” Watkins further explains that Citizen Review volunteers will be faced with the difficult task of allocating funds when there is a substantial gap in available dollars versus requests. “We knew this year would be a difficult year. Regardless of the fact that the 23 programs that received multi-year commitments last year didn’t apply for funding this year, we still saw funding requests at close to the same levels as previous years. With $500,000 less to work with, the decisions this Staff members of the newly-named United Way of Hastings & Prince Edward gathered for year will be difficult. Some agencies a photo under a new sign that reflects the new name at the agency’s Harriett Street office may receive significantly less than in Belleville.

OPINION
A South Korea Rasputin “Sad thoughts trouble my sleep at night,” said South Korea’s President Park Geun-hye. “I realize that whatever I do, it will be difficult to mend the hearts of the people, and then I feel a sense of Gwynne Dyer shame.” And so she should, but it’s also hard not to feel some sympathy for her plight. This isn’t your usual political corruption case. She never benefitted from her actions in any way. Despite Park’s televised apology on November 4, the opposition-controlled National Assembly voted on Thursday to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the president, and anti-Park demonstrations continue daily. As a sitting president, she cannot be prosecuted, but prosecutors will begin questioning her next week. They also interviewed senior management officials at Samsung, Hyundai and Korean Air about allegations that they were pressured into donating millions of dollars to foundations controlled by Choi Soon-sil, a close friend of President Park. Even if the claims are true – and they probably are – Park deserves more pity than anger, for she couldn’t really help it. She was only nine when her father, General Park Chung-hee, seized power in South Korea in 1961. She was 15 when North Korean special forces infiltrated Seoul and launched an assault that got within metres of the presidential Blue House. And she was 22 when an assassination attempt on her father miscarried and killed her mother, Yuk Yeong-su, instead. It was then that pseudo-Christian cult leader Choi Tae-min, who had set up his own religious group known as the Church of Eternal Life, befriended the grief-stricken and isolated young woman. He told her that her mother had appeared to him in a dream, asking him to help her daughter, and she fell for it. Choi became her mentor, a relationship that became even closer after her own father was also assassinated in 1978. The lonely young woman also grew close to Choi’s daughter, Soon-sil, who was only four years younger – and that bond persisted even after Choi Tae-min’s death in 1994. Meanwhile Park Geun-hye was getting on with her life, getting elected to her now democratic country’s National Assembly in 1998 – but her top aide was Choi Soon-sil’s

ex-husband. She has been in the Choi family’s clutches for her entire adult life, and they really hit the jackpot when Park won the presidential election in 2012. The dictators who came before them had stolen too. It was practically a national tradition. But Park was different: she lived modestly, and she had no family to speak of. She had been estranged from her siblings for a long time (because of her relationship with Choi). Everybody knew the family was split, but they did not know much about Choi Soon-sil. Choi had no official position in Park’s government, but she and her rather bizarre inner circle – including her personal trainer, her personal gigolo, and a K-pop musical video director – had direct access to the president. Choi, who had no security clearance, regularly received secret government documents and even edited the president’s speeches. Choi Soon-sil also used her advance knowledge of the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism’s budgets to steer her cronies into the right bids for government contracts. She also shook down major South Korean corporations for millions of dollars on the strength of her claimed influence over the president. In total, some $70 million is alleged to have gone to Choi’s two “non-profit” foundations. Whether Park Geun-hye was aware of these “donations” is unknown, and the authorities have not yet gone through the books of the foundations to see if Choi was draining off funds for her personal use. But on the latter count, at least, suspicions are strong. What triggered Choi’s downfall was her attempt to get her not-too-bright daughter admitted to the prestigious Ewha Women’s University, claiming she had the president’s support. The girl was accepted, but the students launched a public protest against this breach of the university’s rules. Getting into the right university is as important in Korea as it is in Japan, and fairness in the selection process is sacred. At this point, late last month, Choi and her daughter gave up and left for Germany – but she left an unencrypted laptop behind in her abandoned office in Seoul with all the details of her manipulations. It was found by cable TV network JTBC, and the fat was in the fire. Choi is probably going to jail, her daughter is not going to university, and President Park is going...where? She has only fifteen months left of her five-year term, and the opposition parties would probably prefer to leave her in power, bleeding all over her own party’s credibility, rather than face an uncertain election now. But she is finished politically, and that just feels sad.

Cold, hard dump of truth as winter hits Editorial by Chris Malette Tired of the Trump rhetoric? The endless speculation of what kind of train-wreck shambles will take over the American levers of government in a month’s time? Well, this is much more important. One might say it’s life and death. It’s the debate about – wait for it – tires. Specifically, winter tires. True snow tires. The kind that grips better than any skins on the road when the mercury drops along with the snow, sleet and freezing rain. One might expect we’d dedicated the editorial space of your newspaper to weightier issues of, say, the price of hydro, the carbon tax debate or the implications of a renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement, but, really, if anyone ventures onto our roads or even sidewalks in this sudden whoomp of winter weather, they’d know for sure how important a few smart things are for winter driving. (And, yes, we DO need to remind ourselves of it all every winter, judging by the number of cars and trucks in the ditches last Sunday when winter howled in like your three-year-old on a can of Red Bull.) If you drive, simply put, you must – absolutely must – put winter skins on your vehicle. Must. No ifs, ands or buts. “Aw, I have really good, almost new all-season radials on my car/truck/SUV,” you say. “I have all-wheel/four wheel drive,” you say. Horse pucks, say the experts. Consider this: all season tires are now banned in Quebec in winter months, so ineffectual are they in coping with winter driving conditions. Are Quebec winters any more severe than ours? Depends on where you live, of course, but for most of us, not a lot, really. Often referred to as a no-season tire, an allseason tire does not pass what’s known as the Transport Canada medium-packed snow test to earn the Alpine pictograph designating it as a winter tire. (you’ll know it by a little peaked mountain graphic on the side of your tire.) Lettering like M & S – supposedly denoting its capability in mud and snow – on the sidewall is meaningless, as there is no test to pass and manufacturers can put them on any tire they like. That’s why tire companies have developed specific winter tires for ice, snow and cold driving conditions – and it’s not just about the tread. The reason we need winter tires is that nor-

mal tire rubber hardens as temperatures drop below 7 C. Tire rubber must be flexible to grip the road. At that temperature, an all-season and a winter tire have about the same traction. As the thermometer drops, the winter tire gains grip and the all-season loses it. Plain and simple, most of the people you’ll see in the rhubarb this winter will be sporting all-season tires. There’s a new skin out there, now, that some are considering and that’s the ‘all-weather’ tire which is purported to be the best of both worlds – between a summer and winter tire – and does not require changeovers and extra rims with the seasons. The all-weather tire also gains grip when it gets colder, it uses rubber compounds similar to the winter tire, but is made of sturdier stuff so that it can also withstand the summer heat of highway driving. All weather may not be the way to go for everyone, however. “Our [sales] people know to ask the right questions, ‘Does your driving include a lot of ice and heavy snow?’ If so, you need two sets of rims and summer and winter tires,’ John Mullin, Kal Tire senior vice-president of purchasing and marketing said in a recent interview. “But for people in a market where it hovers around zero, like Toronto and the lower mainland in British Columbia, “All-weathers can be the best choice.” It’s always important to stay focused on the road, especially during winter. Please, dear reader, stay safe on the roads. We want you reading, as do our friendly advertisers, so here are a few tips to keep in mind before you set out with, of course, those winter tires firmly beneath your feet: • Leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle ahead; • Stay on main roads; • Keep a phone charger in your car; • Avoid using overdrive or cruise control; • Slow down and move over for emergency vehicles; • Never pass a snow plow on the right-hand side; • Practice emergency braking to understand how your vehicle will react.

create a float for the Belleville and Quinte West Santa parades this year. Military personnel of all ranks will escort the float through the streets of Belleville and Trenton and, along with the holiday theme, the float will feature a Kiowa helicopter. “I’m super excited about this float,” noted Devon Taylor, the MFRC Communications and Development Coordinator, which will also feature some goodies for the children supplied by CANEX. The float will appear in Belleville’s parade on Sunday and then reform for the Trenton parade on Nov. 27. 8 Wing Commander Colonel Colin Keiver and his wife Jennifer will be on the float in Belleville and 8 Wing Chief Warrant Officer Darcy Elder and MFRC’s Executive Director Tamara Kleinschmidt will be featured on the float in Trenton. 8 Wing military personnel are looking forward to exchanging best wishes with the members of the community during these festive events.
Our TMH sets 20,000 membership goal at annual general meeting By Erin Stewart Trenton – Hospital advocacy group Our committee members said they are looking ahead and “definitely not going anywhere…” moving forward from gains made in the future of Trenton Memorial Hospital. The comments came during the committee’s first annual general meeting at Quinte West city hall on Wednesday Nov. 16. Around 80 Our TMH members filled the Quinte West council chambers, including Brighton councillors, Quinte West councillors, Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison and Brighton Mayor Mark Walace. The advocacy committee’s chair Mike Cowan recounted the community’s recent accomplishments for Trenton’s hospital, noting that of which he is most proud happened on August 25, when Minister of Health Dr. Eric Hoskins announced the permanent pause on the move of equipment and day surgeries from TMH to Belleville and the creation of a new Health Hub in Trenton. “We aren’t just a few disgruntled residents, but have thousands of signed up members who will support TMH if it’s threatened in the future,” he said. Looking forward, the committee has launched a lofty membership goal for the community at 20,000.
The number of Our TMH members currently sits at around 7,000 people and shows the amount of community support behind Our TMH’s efforts. Cowan was adamant that “20,000 is the number, because it will represent 40 per cent of the population of combined Quinte West and Brighton. When you’ve got a 40 per cent membership, believe me, it speaks volumes, 40 per cent means nobody is arguing with you.” Looking ahead, Cowan said the committee’s objectives for 2017 are to continue to protect, preserve and enhance TMH. Cowan said the committee will continue to monitor Quinte Health Care (QHC) and its involvement with TMH, will monitor the forward movement of the health hub, advocate for new possible procedures that could take place at the hospital and also advocate for doctor recruitment, a vital aspect, said Cowan. “We want to work with QHC, we are expecting QHC to be open and frank and let’s go forward,” he said. “We’re not going to go away, it’s a fact.” When asked if Our TMH still hopes to separate from QHC, committee member Jim Leonard said it would be beneficial to everyone if that did not have to happen, given the progress made in recent months.
“What we’ve been able to do over the past two years I think speaks volumes in how we’re able to work together,” said Leonard. “If we don’t have to split, that would be better for everybody. It would be cheaper, faster, easier, (to remain together) so what I’d like to leave people with is the idea that what’s good for Trenton is good for Belleville, how working together to achieve that is really the only way that we’re going to succeed,” he said to a round of applause. Cowan gave a special thank you to MPP Lou Rinaldi, who he said did a lot of work to support TMH and he doesn’t know what would have happened without his support. Leonard also announced Our TMH’s new website, OurTMH.com. He asked that everyone go to the website to sign up to become a free member of Our TMH and if people would like to contact committee members they can do that through the website. Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison thanked Our TMH and said they’ve made a great difference in their community. “When the people speak, politicians listen and that’s exactly what you’ve been able to do,” he said. “You have put together information, you’ve put together accurate data and you’ve presented it well and that’s what’s helped us here tremendously.”

Tribute to the Brave still draws big crowd BY JACK EVANS
CFB Trenton - For its second annual event, the Tribute to the Brave concert in the National Air Force Museum drew another large crowd, despite the disappointment by many that expected Canadian Celtic star Loreena McKennitt could not make it . A Remembrance Week event, the concert is a partnership between the Quinte Symphony and 8 Wing Trenton, whose Concert Brass Ensemble and Pipes and Drums were an integral part of the show. First staged last year to an overflow crowd, Base Commander Col. Colin Keiver had requested that it become an annual event. With two sets of timpani, one in the Concert Brass and the symphony, plus double the brass and reed forces when the two ensembles played together, the sound simply awed the crowd as it roared through the cavernous museum hall. For some numbers, especially the beloved “Amazing Grace,” all three ensembles joined in plus singer Anita Halfpenny. The audience got to sing along on some of the songs, like “A Long Way to Tipperary.” Schubert’s sprightly “Marche Militaire” proved a popular favourite along with “White Cliffs of Dover,” again featuring Halfpenny in the first half, which closed with a brief Remembrance service with a reading of the poem, “High Flight,” The Last Post, piper lament and Reveille.
The pipe band had its own spot for opening the second half with several selections. Both the symphony and the concert brass pounded out Holst’s thunderous “Mars – the Bringer of War” from Holst’s “The Planets” suite, followed by another popular Holst work,, “First Suite in E for Military Band.” A member of the concert brass, Sgt. David Hawkins was behind an original arrangement of the folk song “Waly Waly,” (The Water is Wide) also the arrangement for the RCAF March Past. After the stirring “Amazing Grace” close, the ensembles joined again for an encore, “Scotland the Brave.” More than 400 attended the afternoon concert with close to 100 for the 7 p.m. second show, both drawing many favourable comments from audience mem8 Wing Commander Col.

Prince Edward County actor makes stage debut in Port Hope A young Prince Edward County actor is about to make his professional stage debut in a comedy in Port Hope. Scott Kuipers describes himself as a “Cherry Valley farm boy from Brummell Road, now a Toronto actor.” He is starring in Two Ships Passing, a romantic comedy opening on Thursday, Nov. 17 at the Engine Gallery in Port Hope. In Two Ships Passing, written by acclaimed playwright Dave Carley, a minister (played by Drew Carnwath) and a judge (Anne Page) decide to resume a relationship that ended badly a decade earlier. But, that’s not sitting well with the judge’s son Jason (played by Kuipers). Jason is hell-bent on ensuring that his mother and the minister never resume their relationship. A bubbly romantic comedy ensues, with lots of humour, twists and commentary on the gap between boomers and millennials. Kuipers attended Prince Edward Collegiate Institute where he played the role of Seymour in that school’s production of Little Shop of Horrors. He has performed and toured with the Festival Players of Prince
Edward County Young Company. Most recently Kuipers attended Ryerson University, from which he graduated this past spring with a degree in theatre. He is looking forward to playing the role of Jason, a conservative MBA student. “I don’t necessarily align with Jason’s political views, but I can relate to his drive and passion,” said Kuipers. “He has strong opinions and he’s protective of his mother, and I respect him for that. I can also totally relate to being a young person who wants to be taken seriously – but is often dismissed as inexperienced solely because of my youth.” Two Ships Passing has a two-week run at Engine Gallery, 32 Walton Street, Port Hope. The play is produced by Ontario Street Theatre. The large back room of the gallery has been converted to a fiftyseat theatre. There are six performances between November 17, 18, 19, 24, 25 and Street Theatre at 905-885-8042 or by email26. All performances are at 8 pm. Tickets are ing ontariostreettheatre@gmail.com. Tickets can also be purchased online at $25 and can be reserved by calling Ontario ‘Two Ships Passing Port Hope Eventbrite.’
Cruiser crashes, suspect at large Quinte West – An OPP cruiser is wrecked, a fence at CFB Trenton was crashed, along with a suspect vehicle in a car chase, and a suspect was at large Tuesday after a late night care chase here. Provincial police reports they tried to stop a vehicle on Dixon Drive in Trenton around 11:30 p.m. Monday, but the driver wouldn’t stop for the pursuing police. Instead, it raced eastward, onto Curtis Road and then crossed
RCAF Road, crashing through a fence at CFB Trenton.Police said it was then the driver bolted the scene on foot. During the chase, police said a cruiser was involved in a collision, causing about $4,000 damage. Police called in the Emergency Response Team and canine unit, but the suspect could not be located. There was no report of anyone injured in the crash of the cruiser.

E-cigarette advocates oppose ban proposed to QW council BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton – Quinte West city council discussed a potential bylaw banning the use of electronic cigarettes in public places, this time with two advocates in favour of e-cigarettes on Monday Nov. 21. Rowan Warr-Hunter and Maria Papaioannoy said they wanted to speak to council in response to Karen White of the Canadian Cancer Society’s presentation on November 7, when White urged council to implement a by-law preventing the use of hookahs or e-cigarettes in public places.

Warr-Hunter, owner of Trenton’s e-cigarette store Stinky Canucks and on the board of directors for Electronic Cigarette Trade Association of Canada, said he was shocked when he heard White’s presentation to council because of misinformation. First and foremost, he wanted to clarify that there’s no smoke or second had smoke produced from e-cigarettes. “Vaporizers work on the same principle as a fog machine, they use a power source to heat a liquid to the point of vaporization, there’s no tobacco or combustion, there’s going to be no smoke, no tar, no carbon monoxide, no hydrogen cyanide,� he said. Warr-Hunter said there’s also no evidence that second hand vapour poses any risk to bystanders or that e-cigarettes will lead to an increase in youth smoking. All e-cigarette liquids are tested at a Health Canada accredited lab to ensure products are free from potentially harmful contaminants, said Warr-Hunter, and only sold to people of the age of majority. Overall, Warr-Hunter encouraged council to not impose a bylaw banning the use of e-cigarettes in public places without reasons to do so based on science and fact and as much information as possible. “The Royal College of Physicians, out in the UK, have said that electronic cigarettes are 95 per cent safer than traditional smoking and I’d rather do something that’s 50 per cent safer and then I’m all over the 95 per cent,� said Maria Papaioannoy, vapour advocate of Ontario. She said Quinte West council’s decision could have a ripple effect across the province, perhaps across the country, and encouraged council to hold public meetings and gather information from as many sources as possible, with factual studies to support opinions. Councillor Sally Freeman said she is in favour of putting some

restrictions on where people can use e-cigarettes. “I think it’s wonderful, don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any problem with the idea of vaporing, I just don’t think it should be done around children or in any kind of crowd anymore than cigarettes, not because it’s as dangerous, I think it’s a message as well,� she said. Papaioannoy agreed with Freeman. “Restrict it at the daycare, restrict it at the school grounds, restrictions are okay,� she said. “There’s no reason to be vaping during your kids hockey game, however when you’re going into a vape shop, when you’re going into adult only spaces, you have to give permission to the business to make those decisions on behalf of their clientele.� Mayor Jim Harrison and Councillor Rob MacIntosh said they both know people who use e-cigarettes and have said it’s changed their lives. “I’ve spoken to people who’ve said ‘I was a two or three pack a day smoker and now this is all I have, I do not smoke,’� said Harrison. “The people I see using them, I don’t see them abusing it, I see them being very careful so I respect them.� E-cigarettes can contain nicotine, said Papaioannoy, and give people the opportunity to gradually decrease the percentage of nicotine in their e-cigarette liquid in a safer form than regular cigarettes. “I have to tell you, I’m impressed with the fact that it has a positive impact on so many people, that it allows them to get off cigarettes, it’s unbelievable,� said Harrison. “So if it isn’t causing a problem then why would you want to do something to ban it or restrict it? So we’ll look at it.� Harrison said he expects council to discuss the matter sometime in January when a staff report on the subject comes before council.

It did some mapping and charting of Canada’s Arctic and was used as an electronic and photography and intelligence gathering platform during the Cold War, according to Colton. “It photographed a Russian ice station floating in the Arctic area,” he stated. “It was also involved in electronic intelligence gathering and in the early days of the Cold War, electronic intelligence was very important,” Colton noted. “It was tasked during the Cuban missile crisis to fly down the Atlantic and listen in on Russian trawlers. It has a very interesting story to tell from the Cold War point of view. And no other aircraft out there in Canada has been restored to this variant.” “The irony is amazing – after so long, these two aircraft will sit side-by-side,” added Colton with pride in his eyes. “Am I excited?

craft will be our anniversary project and we will unveil it for that purpose on April 1, 2024.” Colton sees this project as one of the key projects the RCAF will want to have ready to go for that centennial celebration. Now the museum is looking for three things from the public point of view. They want to hear stories about 408 Squadron post-war and people who flew in 408 Squadron and who may have perhaps flown in KB 882 to help fill in that history. They are also looking for documents and photographs that people might have of the aircraft in its wartime and Cold War configurations. Thirdly, everything costs money so they are more than willing to begin accepting donations to the cause. “We have established a Lancaster restoration trust fund where money will be set aside specifically for restoration of the aircraft,” Colton noted.

G-Hawks struggle against Aurora’s stellar goaltender BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks put up a total of 98 shots against Aurora’s 46 over two games on the weekend, but could only manage one win. The two teams faced off for the first time in Trenton on Friday Nov. 18, where the Golden Hawks pulled off a 3-2 win. Assistant coach Kevin Forrest said he thought the Hawks played well on Friday, but faced a tough goaltender. “We generated a lot of shots and good chances to score but their goalie was very good early to keep his team in the game,” he said. Trenton outshot Aurora 52 shots to 20 but could only manage to get three goals past Aurora’s stellar goaltender Brayden Lachance. All three of the G-Hawks’ goals came in the third period, scored by Michael Silveri, Mac Lewis and Dawson Baker, assisted by Austin Bottrell, Cal Walker, Jordan Chard, Chays Ruddy and two from co-captain Lucas Brown. Aurora’s Mel Melconian and Carmine Alberga scored the Tigers’ two goals, assisted by Luca Esposito and Adam Petric
On Saturday, Nov. 19, the G-Hawks hit the road and won 5-2 against the Stouffville Spirit and then were off to face Aurora again on Sunday. This time, the G-Hawks could not manage to get any shots past Aurora’s goaltender Lachance and fell 3-0. Lachance saved all 46 of the shots the G-Hawks sent his way while Trenton’s goaltender Joseph Murdaca made 23 saves on 26 shots. “Their goalie was very good again and we controlled the play for the large majority of the game but this time we couldn’t break through,” said Forrest. “Credit to their goalie, we fired around 95 shots at him this weekend.” Aurora’s James Thomson, Tyler Davis and Melconian scored the team’s three goals. Melconian registered two assists while Esposito and Louis Vlahakis each registered one. Next up, the G-Hawks will host the Lindsay Muskies on Wednesday Nov. 23 in Trenton at 7:30 p.m. and then the Hawks will travel down the road to Wellington on Friday Nov. 25, to face off against the Dukes at 7:30 p.m.

Glenora Fisheries - Historic research in historic building BY JACK EVANS
Glenora - Whether approached by land or water, the towering four-storey stone building just east of the Glenora Ferry is obviously a historic structure. Built in 1877 as an iron foundry to make
water turbines, it was converted during the First World War to a munitions plant. It was purchased by the Ontario government in 1922 for a fish hatchery for whitefish and lake trout. In 1954, the hatchery was phased out and

it became a research facility in 1957. So now approaching its 60th year of records keeping of water temperatures, fish species, numbers, conditions and more, it has the most extensive historical records of any fresh water fisheries in the world. The historic work continues day-by-day with a staff that embraces fresh water sailors to technologists to fully qualified research scientists, hovering around 40 including part time and full time. Because of their specialized work and qualifications, they commute from as far as Stirling, Trenton and Belleville, reports Steve McNevin, operations supervisor for the Glenora Fisheries Research Station, Lake Ontario Management Unit of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. At this time of year, the boat crews are busy at stocking one-year-old fish from lake trout and deep water cisco (fresh water herring.) The main purpose of the ciscos is as live food for lake trout with its angling and commercial value. Lake trout is a native species that was once almost eradicated but is now making a comeback thanks to controls and stocking. “The balance between predator fish and their natural prey is a critical factor in fisheries health and management,” said McNevin from his office. His window overlooks a breathtaking view of the Bay of Quinte, the comings and goings of the Glenora ferry, and his fleet of two large tugs and seven commercial sized fishing boats, including one dedicated to electrically stunning fish in the water. As a research centre, it thrives on the latest type of scientific technology and on highly
trained and specially qualified staff. The inventory includes special sub-zero freezers for quick freezing, electronic microscopes that can project a tiny sample of the inner ear of a fish onto a large television screen, and more. All summer long, crews from the station prowl the waters of the Bay of Quinte, the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario, right up to Hamilton harbour, recently the site of a massive restoration project of shore-spawning walleye which has proven to be successful. Their records include species, weights, size, diet, age, depths, habitat, water temperatures, and more. Their storage focuses on scale samples, also, a section of the inner ear called an “oscillith,” which helps fish to maintain their balance in turbulent waters. This organ also accurately registers the age of a fish by a series of rings. Meanwhile, in partnership with the New York State fisheries, Glenora continues to be involved in trying to preserve and reestablsih the American eel population, plus rainbow trout and other species. One new method being used successfully in recent years is the establishment of open water ‘ponds’ in which fingerlings from a hatchery are placed to help imprint their location for return and future spawning. Two of these are in the immediate Quinte area off Prince Edward County. Others are near Toronto. Some 60 species of fish are recognized in Lake Ontario waters, with invasive species a constant threat, said McNevin. Thus constant monitoring is required. With some species hovering in depths of 200 metres or more, continued on page 3

Keeping tabs on the health of Lake Ontario fishery continued from page 2 details of their catches. Simi-
getting equipment that can go deep enough is a problem, but fortunately, their partners in the New York fishery can go deeper. Sculpin , a prime species of prey for lake trout, is one such fish, being found in increasing numbers in much deeper water than expected. They feed on tiny fresh water shrimp on the bottom of the lake. Alewife are also a major food fish for larger fish and they numbers must also be carefully and constantly monitored. In partnership with the Ministry of the Environment, the station also carves out samples of flesh and labels them for regular checking for contaminant levels, he said. Because so many of the staff are involved hands-on in on-water situations, safety equipment and training are given top priority, with special exercises held regularly. Records are collected year round on angler numbers, success and catches. Many anglers form partnerships with the station maintain fish “diaries” of where, when and
larly, many volunteer groups are involved in projects to obtain data or improve habitat. “Social media is the new key tool for anglers,” said McNevin, with reports of good catches and locales on electronic media quickly drawing attention. The station also monitors the commercial fishery, including licences and catches. On the ground floor is a state of the art aquarium featuring key species. The same area is also used for baitfish research. It is a popular attraction for dozens of school groups coming from across the region every year, said McNevin, but for casual visitors, “It’s not part of the winery tour.” Even with the approach of winter, stocking of lake trout and cisco remain under way, weather permitting. This in itself is an ambitious annual project of more than two million hatchlings every year plus a further four million by New York State. New York runs a similar research facility just across from Kingston Crew from the Glenora Fisheries research station is shown here on the electrified fishing boat used to stun fish when doing research on the lake. at Cape Vincent.

Central Hastings – While thousands march in major U.S. cities against the presidency of Donald Trump, here at home Facebook was soon filled with comments following the election for president and later the local MP offered his perspective on the situation when contacted for a comment. “I’m supportive of Prime Minister Trudeau’s statement that he released. My perspective is the same as it has always been, and that is that I have to do what I’ve been elected to do: find common ground and move forward,” said Mike Bossio, MP Hastings-Lennox and Addington told the Central Hastings/Trent Hills News. In his official statement released the day after the election, Prime Minister Trudeau said in part, ““Canada has no closer friend, partner, and ally than the United States. We look forward to working very closely with President-elect Trump, his administration, and with the United States Congress in the years ahead, including on issues such as trade, investment, and international peace and security. Days after the election the fallout contin-
ues with media reports including Metroland’s Hamilton Spectator with a headline on the weekend which stated, “Thousands rally, march in nationwide anti-Trump protests.” Reports of Trump’s successful use of social media are also circulating in the news. The BBC News headlined a story, “‘Crazy’ to say Facebook helped Trump win – Zuckerberg”. Here at home Facebook was filled with comments from folks, who along with many other Canadians watched and reacted to the U.S. presidential election. One Facebook posting by Maree Lien stated, “She (Hillary Clinton) is a qualified, capable person who has devoted her life to public service. There is no comparison.” Trent Hills resident Irene Lawson posted, “Very scary no matter how it ends.” Another, Joan Paylor Sheppard posted, “There is a real rural/city divide for starters.” Now that the election is over Donald Trump continues to tweet his own perspective including one on Nov. 11 that stated: “Love the fact that the small groups of protestors last night have passion for our great country. We will all come together and be proud.”
The flu is here had a flu shot to get vaccinated. The confirmed case is for Influenza A, says Peterborough – Seasonal influenza is here. Peterborough Public Health confirmed the medical officer of health Dr. Rosana Salvafirst local lab-confirmed case Nov. 18 and is terra. “We now know that seasonal influenza is once again encouraging people who haven’t circulating in our community,” said Dr. Salvaterra. “Usually there are more cases of influenza in the community than are reported by the lab so we strongly encourage residents to get their flu shot to protect themselves and others as it’s still early in the season.” Dr. Salvaterra notes that this year’s first case arrived much earlier than last year’s first lab-confirmed case, which was reported January 15. Public health officials recommend the flu shot for everyone over six months of age. It is especially important for people with a weakened immune system, pregnant women, young children, the elderly, and anyone who takes care of people in these groups. Flu shots are widely available at local pharmacies, at doctor’s offices and local walk-in clinics. Since Sept. 1, Peterborough Public Health has distributed approximately 30,410 doses locally, which is in addition to those pharmacies which receive vaccine directly from other distributors approved by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States says that antiviral medications are approximately 70 to 90 per cent effective in preventing influenza. BY BILL FREEMAN

Ontario could be doing more to increase visitor spending in the province translated into long-term, sustainable gains in tourism visitation, the four chambers of commerce in Northumberland County said in a joint release. “This past spring we participated in the government consultation with tourism stakeholders to develop a long-term tourism strategy for the province,” said Jeff Hamilton, chair of the Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce. “It is our hope that the solutions identified in this report are incorporated into this tourism strategy that is currently being developed by
the government. Attracting global visitors to Ontario is vital to the economic prosperity of the seven municipalities in Northumberland that rely on visitor spending.” “We are confident that as the government creates their plan to close the gap, they will find the recommendations in the OCC report useful,” said Sherry Hamilton, manager of the Brighton-Cramahe Chamber of Commerce. “Tourism affects a number of other sectors and for that reason has the potential to provide economic benefit on a wider scale with
Schools could close in Belleville, Centre Hastings and PEC BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Picton - The Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board is about to conduct accommodation reviews for school groups in Belleville, Centre Hastings and Prince Edward County, but school groups in Quinte West, the Bayside area and North Hastings will not be affected. Trustees voted to move forward with the review process for the three areas at a board meeting in Picton on Monday, Nov. 21. An accommodation review is essentially a public consultation process to examine whether a board should close certain schools, build new ones or consolidate some schools. It sets the stage for what promises to be an emotional process, acknowledged board spokeswoman Kerry Donnell, but she stressed that no decisions will be made on a whim. The review process takes up to seven months and is heavily dictated by Ministry of Education guidelines. In the coming days the board is expected to announce more information
– such as public meetings to discuss the ideas – and let, families, municipal officials and other stakeholders know about the plans. “We realize that schools are the centres of communities and there’s a lot of emotions attached to schools,” Donnell said. “This accommodation review process is so important to get community input for community members to look at the data – the raw data – and to determine what’s the best outcome for students in the future. It’s an important process, it’s a sensitive process.” A plethora of options are available in all three areas and they would greatly effect both the secondary and elementary school communities if ultimately approved. A report to the board, outlines two options for Belleville: Option 1 suggests closing Quinte Secondary School and modifying boundaries so some students can move to Centennial Secondary School. It also suggests closing Moira Secondary School and seek approval for a new high school to accommo-
date Moira and Quinte students. Option 2 outlines closing Quinte SS and modifying boundaries so that some students move to Centennial and others to Moira. Then the board would seek approval for an addition to Moira. Numerous options for elementary schools that feed those high schools are also listed. In Centre Hastings, the review is proposing that Madoc Township school be closed and students there be moved to Madoc Public School. It also suggests relocating Grade 7 and 8 students from Madoc Public School to Centre Hastings Secondary School, creating a Grade 7-12 model, for September 2017. In Prince Edward County, the proposal suggests the closing of several elementary school and have students attend Prince Edward Collegiate Institute. It also suggests the closure of CML Snider School and Kente Public School and have the board seek funding for a new K-8 school in Wellington by Sept. 2020. More details are listed at www. hpedsb.on.ca. Look under the board meeting updates section.
proper investment. The report identifies a number of challenges faced by tourism operators and the broader tourism community in Ontario, while presenting a series of action items to address them. The four local chambers of commerce said they are encouraged that the government is moving ahead with an action plan for the province’s tourism industry, a key consideration highlighted by its membership. The report is clear about the need for any provincial strategy to include measurable targets, a practice currently employed by many successful tourism destinations, they said. These targets would help to organize and coordinate tourism activities among the diverse group of public and private tourism organizations in Ontario, another key recommenda-
tion of the report. “Ontario’s tourism sector needs a dedicated strategy driven by the provincial government that not only promotes tourism within Ontario, but also focuses on drawing in visitors from around the world,” said Allan O’Dette, president and CEO of the OCC. “If we can do this successfully, the province will achieve substantial economic gains while keeping up with global growth trends.” To produce this report, the OCC convened a group of Ontario’s leading thinkers within the tourism community. The report builds on previous initiatives undertaken by members of the tourism industry and further substantiates the need for a focused and measured approach targeted towards supporting the future of tourism in Ontario.

Brighton-Trent Hills – Ontario is missing out on billions of dollars in visitor spending by not keeping up with global growth trends in tourism. According to a report by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, Closing the Tourism Gap: Creating a Long-Term Advantage for Ontario, that failure to take full advantage of international growth rates cost the province nearly $16 billion in visitor spending between 2006 and 2012. While this year has been a strong year for tourism in Ontario, it is important that the recent growth is

Author provides glimpse into political backrooms, speaks in Tweed Nov 29
Celebrate Incredible. Help us recognize the junior citizens who make our communities better. Nominate someone age 6–17 for a 2016 Ontario Junior Citizen Award! Annaleise Carr, 2012 and 2014 Ontario Junior Citizen, Simcoe, ON At 14, Annaleise Carr was the youngest person ever to swim across Lake Ontario. Two years later, Annaleise swam across Lake Erie. Combined these efforts raised awareness and hundreds of thousands of dollars for Camp Trillium, a family camp for children with cancer. Her book, Annaleise Carr: How I Conquered Lake Ontario to Help Kids Battling Cancer, inspires others to take on great challenges and help their fellow citizens.
Tweed - Have you ever wondered what goes on in the backrooms and war rooms of political campaigns? John Laschinger, guest author at the Tweed Public Library on November 29, will be pulling back the curtains on the high-pressure action behind the scenes of political leadership and election campaigns. His latest book, Campaign Confessions, Tales from the War Rooms of Politics, was published in September and has quickly become a best seller for Dundurn Press. In his foreword to this unique book, Peter Mansbridge says about John, “… here’s what’s best about him. He has known winning and losing and he’s not afraid to talk about both”. Laschinger goes wherever political contests call him. As Canada’s only full-time campaign manager, he has been involved in 50 leadership and election campaigns across Canada and internationally during his 45year career. He has worked on campaigns for Brian Mulroney and Joe Clark. He has advised and provided research for politicians such as Mike Harris, Don Getty and Bernard Lord. He directed political party leadership campaigns for John Tory and Belinda Stronach. He was the mayoral campaign manager for David Miller and later for Olivia Chow. No one knows more about Canadian political campaigns than “Lasch,” as his friends call him. His book has gained high praise from politicians and journalists. Preston Manning writes, “John is a master of the techniques and strategies of political campaigning, and shares them all in this book.” Brian Mulroney described the book as a “fascinating account
Author/political strategist John Laschinger. Submitted photo
of backroom strategy and drama.” And journalist Rex Murphy said, “Those who love politics for its camaraderie, its nerviness, and its competitiveness will find a harvest in these pages”. You can hear this latest author in the Writers’ Series, sponsored by the Friends of the Tweed Library, on Tuesday, November 29 at 7 p.m. at the Tweed Public Library on Metcalf Street. Copies of Lascher’s book will be available for purchase and signing.

The Good Earth Themed gardens can bring out artistry
Dan Clost Have you ever thought to “do” a theme garden? Perhaps one incorporating all of the plants mentioned in Shakespeare’s writings; how about those in the Old Testament; maybe a First Nation’s medicine chest; all white flowers or, if you’re really clever, your clan’s tartan. I once did a small Goth plot in which I combined some black metal roses arising from a bed of black pansies. Themes are both easy and tricky
to pull off. Once upon a thyme, (a really obvious pun for Ellyn) I cobbled up an English country garden. Very simple thing to do, right? I pulled a list from an English gardening book, picked the plants that accept our climate and just popped them into the soil. Well, that’s what I did and, in doing so, managed to make some of the most beautiful flowers look like a jumbled mass of weeds. I neglected to take into account that attention to design was, always will be, the most important part of creating a garden. There is often a peculiar artistry dwelling inside most gardeners which is illustrated through a living medium. Therein lays a real challenge: while much art is frozen in time, including music, gardens exist in all the dimensions and all the senses transforming their presentation over time. This is why it is so important to get those fundamental elements right at the beginning. An amusing ingredient of this is the subtlety which can be imbedded (a not so subtle pun for Ellyn) into the design if you wish. Shakespeare lends himself to so many interpretations: “What’s in a name...” from Romeo and Juliet obviously using the named plants, or Sonnet 130 with which you would need to be more creative. For “lips more red than any
corall stone”, it is unlikely that you would use a real piece of red coral but you might find a plant of similar colour, perhaps some Red Cauli sedum. There is a caution when working with themes and that is to maintain a balance between creation and contrivance especially with the latter unavoidably inherent in the process. One obvious theme to explore for 2017 is a garden celebrating our nation’s sesquicentennial; in fact, Ontario Gardener magazine is sponsoring a contest based on just that. GR, red and white will be nice- sort of like bunting on the gazebo on Canada Day- but you can embrace a more diverse plant palette. You create a natural landscape with all Native Canadian plants, or with plants introduced by Canadians (Preston lilacs) and Canadian nurseries (Ivory Silk lilac from Sheridan or Canadale Gold euonymus from the Intvens at Canadale.) Going back to the aboriginal apothecary, Mahonia
aquifolium- (Oregon Grape Holly) would make a very good cabinetshaped hedge and Gaultheria procumbens (Winterberry) suits nicely as shelving. Within themed beds, feel free to incorporate garden art or accoutrements that will enhance the conceptualization. A Monet-based garden would benefit from an obelisk similar to the Eiffel Tower or a small lily pond. More than objets d’art, these pieces can be suggestions or outright clues to the viewer. Hardscape also merits careful consideration. Fence material and construction methods consistent with the period fill in the theme. Construct raised beds for potagers using tree trunks as walls and branches for
climbing bean tripods; not bamboo poles unless you have an Asian veggie garden on the grow. Willow stems woven into a wattle wind-break will serve as both function and art. You can even work with pathway construction and materials. Crazy paving (think irregularly shaped flat stones) would be consistent in a Shakespearean or ancient Roman theme but not necessarily a cottage garden. This winter, take some time to develop your theme. The research will fill many a cold, dark night and, quite possibly, be as satisfying as the actual gardening.

Rotary makes a splash for Sailability BY JACK EVANS
Belleville - Still helping disabled youngsters and adults to uplift their goals by sailing is the Quinte Sailability agency, one of the most successful such groups in a small community in Canada, says its director, Fletch Fletcher. Fletcher addressed the Rotary Club of Quinte Sunrise at the Greek banquet hall Thursday morning. He also brought along a brand new “coach boat” purchased by a collaboration of five Quinte area Rotary clubs at a cost of about $15,000. Of special significance for the Sunrise
club was that one of its own members, Gord Leverton, won the competition for the new boat’s name with his entry of “Rotary Compass.” He was presented with his prize during the meeting. Fletcher, whose organization has garnered national success in regattas and races across Canada, reviewed the value of the program. He promoted the slogan for its participants: “There’s no speed limit on the water – so why limit yourself ?” He cited one young man who was proud to call himself an “athlete of national sta-
tus” thanks to the program which allowed him to compete and win in regattas from Vancouver to Halifax. It really built up his self esteem, he said. Being able to sail by oneself breeds such
esteem and also inspires other efforts, he contended. He also expressed thanks for the donation of the boat. The boat is used by coaches to monitor and assist the fleet of some 11 sailboats used every summer.

Serious savings on great looking furniture? Let the shopping begin!
Bay of Quinte hailed as great place for food processing Belleville – Companies looking to establish or relocate their food processing businesses have good reason to be drawn to the Bay of Quinte, economic leaders say. Six different site selectors – in the business of finding their food processing clients the best locations to set up shop – visited the Bay of Quinte area in September. They observed an established supply chain, a diverse industry sector and an ideal logistics location backed by strong economic development support – all information that influences whether or not a site is recommended to their clients. The site selector tour visit was organized by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA). A key host in their visit was the Quinte Economic Development Commission (QEDC) – an organization jointly commissioned by Belleville, Quinte West and Brighton. It was a familiar role for the QEDC, which frequently works with international site selectors to attract employers and support service companies, keeping the Bay of Quinte region’s economy strong. While in the region, QEDC took representatives to Nestle and Kellogg, both well-known examples of how the Bay of Quinte has succeeded as a hub for large scale food processing. The tour coincided with more positive news for the Bay of Quinte’s economic future. The Boyd Company added its Bay of
Quinte observations to an independent report for which they’d been collecting data across Ontario. Boyd’s declared Eastern Ontario the lowest cost location for a food processing facility among the 25 top North American regions after conducting an industry study. The QEDC helped local industries contribute to the Boyd Company study. It was the QEDC who made sure local companies like TCS, Kellogg, Reid’s Dairy and Loyalist College contributed to the study. More than 40 business journals and media outlets in the U.S. featured the results bringing even more attention to the Bay of Quinte. “The Bay of Quinte is home to one of the Province’s largest food processing clusters,” explains Chris King QEDC Executive Director. “Touting the Bay of Quinte as a low cost location, Boyd’s recognition puts the Bay of Quinte on the radar of food processors worldwide.” What attracts food processors to the Bay of Quinte? The large cluster of food processing plants already in the Bay of Quinte make it easy to share running costs or choose between key suppliers: from plastics and packaging manufacturers who take care of your food grade packaging requirements to multiple logistics companies coordinating delivery of your fresh, dry, cold or frozen goods all over North America.

10 Top things that you can do to protect you drinking water! Local communities are responsible for protecting their community’s drinking water. Here are some simple steps that you can take on your property to protect everyone’s water supply for today and generations to come: 1. Conserve water. Not only does conserving water help to maintain a constant supply of drinking water, but too little water in a source can mean contaminants are more concentrated, and therefore may be above acceptable levels. 2. Think Before You Flush. Sewer and septic systems are not designed to dispose of anything beyond human waste, toilet paper and wastewater. Any other item, even if it claims to be flushable, should not be flushed down the toilet. 3. Dispose of hazardous waste properly. Take all of your unused paints, cleaners, pesticides, and medical prescriptions to your hazardous waste facility. 4. Use non-toxic products for cleaning. Use environmentally-friendly soaps, shampoos, and personal care products. Remember, what you use in your house goes down the drain and may enter local water supplies. 5. Clean up your pets waste. Pet waste contains nutrients and pathogens that can run into your storm sewers during a rain storm if not cleaned up regularly. 6. prevent pollutant runoff. By reducing or eliminating the use of pesticides, fertilizers, sidewalk salts and by not over-watering your lawn, you can prevent pollutant runoff. If you run an agricultural operation and haven’t already, consider developing a nutrient management plan. 7. Don’t put anything except water down storm drains. These drains carry storm water to our local waterways, without any treatment. 8. Take care when refueling gas tanks. When you are refueling cars, lawn mowers, chainsaw, weed trimmers, tractors, or other machinery, try your best to avoid spilling fuel in the ground. One litre of gas can contaminate a million liters of ground water. 9. Take your car to a commercial car wash. Commercial car washes are designed to prevent pollutant runoff from entering storm water sewers. Use commercial car washes that use water efficient sprays, which also reduces water consumption. 10. Stay informed and be water savvy. Remember what you do on your property does make a difference. Protecting drinking water is everyone’s Responsibility! To find out more visit www.ltc.on.ca
Quinte musicians Northern Voodoo add a second release Belleville - Quinte based musicians, Rett Wills, Mike “Ace” Acerra and Chris Georgiou who make up the talented, powerhouse blues, rhythm and blues and jazz band Northern Voodoo are looking forward to the release of their second CD “Angels and Demons,” Saturday, November 26, at The Old Church Theatre in Johnstown, just north of Trenton. Northern Voodoo play mostly original blues, rhythm and blues and jazz that take the listener beyond the usual ‘classic rock/ tribute’ genre. The trio’s combination of Will’s energetic guitar licks and vocals are backed up by Acerra’s electric, acoustic and stand up base rhythms and Chris’ drumming creates a unique, memorable blend of original material that showcases the years each member
has spent honing their craft. Wills has played solo and in bands in Southeastern Ontario for the past 35 years. Acerra, originally from Toronto, spent time with several well-known rhythm and blues bands and is well versed in blues and rock and roll. James, drummer/percussionist, has played in Canada for over 40 years with many bands including Black Moon from Toronto, and is a founding member of the ‘Tore Down’ blues band. The Old Church Theatre, 940 Bonisteel Rd., in Johnstown, is a beautifully renovated, rural church built in 1876. It provides an unmatched acoustic experience for top notch live music and theatre. The old Methodist church, a Quinte West historical landmark, operated as a place of worship
until 1972. After years of neglect and disrepair it was slated for demolition when local resident Roy Bonisteel, renovated and restored the building in 1994, to create a unique gathering place for the community. Today, owners/hosts Lesley Bonisteel and Brian Weston continue to fulfill Roy’s vision and the vision of those who helped build this church over 140 years ago to provide a place with a sense of community. Oh, yes, and it’s licensed! A selection of Ontario craft beers and local County wines are available. With limited seating, reservations are recommended. This concert/launch is a ‘pass the hat’ event and both CD’s will be Northern Voodoo plays Saturday, November 26, at available for purchase.

Local thespians win big at drama league gical procedure which could spell life or death. Three sisters, designated by the gods to mete out the fates of mere mortals have been instructed to let the lad die. But one sister, hearkening to the mother’s pleas, argues that he should live. Their decision, by the gods’ laws, must be unanimous. There is tension, drama and colourful stage action throughout. The play won four awards: best visual production, to Ian Feltham, Lisa Morris and Alexandra Bell, for their creation of the mythical realities, the Peterborough Theatre adjudicator’s award for excellence in ensemble work for the three sisters, Wendy Roy, Jana Busse and Amber Lucas; the Nancy Chajkowski Memorial Award for best costumes, to Lisa Morris and the Donald Endicott Award for best co-ordinated
BY JACK EVANS
The depth of talent involved in the Belleville Theatre Guild, from playwrights through directors, actors and back stage crew was front and centre at the annual One Act Play Festival and competition, arranged through the Eastern Ontario drama League. Nine theatre companies, from Cobourg through Ottawa took part. The festival was held in Perth Nov. 11 through 13. Belleville’s entry was a fantasy with a moral, called “this Side or the Other,” which won critical acclaim at its world premiere as part of an evening of three one-act plays in The Pinnacle Playhouse in September. It was also a first-time play writing effort by Eric Lucas, only 19. Set in a fantasy world of Greek mythology with spectacular costumes, the play has a young mother praying her heart out to the gods for her son to be restored to health from a critical sur-
production to the entire cast and crew for best use of tech rehearsal and ability to adapt to the new surroundings in The Perth Theatre. To top it off, it also got one of only two nominations for “best production” plus one for best director, Ian Feltham and best actress, Heather Barker. Lucas commented that he remains “overwhelmed at his play’s success up against two separate Norm Foster shows by rival companies.” And the play that ultimately won Best Production was “’The Real Inspector Hound” by Sir Tom Stoppard, a professional British playwright with
awards to his credit. “He’s won every kind of writing award you can think of, including an Oscar,” said Lucas.” I’m just very thankful for being included.” He also praised the creative people who made the costumes and set, helping bring his mystical play to life. “Those visual awards were very well deserved,” he concluded. The load of hardware just adds to a large and growing collection from competitions over many years the Belleville Theatre Guild can boast.

I found my peace… at close of day. And if my parting leaves a void, Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things, I too, will miss. Be not burdened… deep with sorrow. I wish you sunshine for tomorrow. My life’s been full, I’ve savoured much. Good friends, good times… a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief. Don’t lengthen it with undue grief. Lift up your heart… and share with me. God wants me now… He set me free.

Under-the-hood parts help student artists think outside the box BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – When some people see old car parts, they think garbage. But when students at Belleville’s Queen Victoria School see them, they may think about artwork – or repurposing them for creative purposes and diverting them from landfills. This is thanks to an interesting workshop conducted at the school on Wednesday, Nov. 16 by Kingston-based artist Jeff Mann. Queen Vic teacher Paul Geller encouraged Mann to come to the school and deliver his workshop, which shows how old car parts can be used to help make
creative t-shirts. Students put cardboard platforms inside the t-shirts to keep them flat and used a variety of parts – everything from rubber tires to metallic objects found under the hood – as paintbrushes. By the end of the day, dozens of colourful t-shirts, festooned with interesting patterns, were on display in the school’s upstairs hallway. Mann said he was happy to come to the school and get students thinking about both art and the environment in a different way. While he stressed, he’s not “anti-car” he said “the idea that we throw out a million cars a year is crazy to me.”
Connect with us online Students in Queen Victoria’s Adventure Class (from left) Liam Tindale, Jaelyn Vestervelt and Finn Luke-Weitzman show the t-shirt they made after participating in a workshop by artist Jeff Mann.

in those if the night’s still young,” she said. And of course, “you should never borrow money to gamble.” The presentation Ly brings to establishments across Ontario has a wheel with velcro spots that people can throw a ball on. A visitor to the booth can throw the ball at the wheel. They are then asked a true or false question that’s printed underneath the spot that the ball lands on. One of the questions is “Bingo is a game of skill?” That’s false, as no participant has any control over what numbers come up (even if there is some minor skill involved in handling numerous cards at once). Another questions states, “the longer you play the more likely you are to win back your losses?” Again, that’s false, Ly explained, owing to the “house odds.” “The house always has the advantage,” she said. “The longer you play the more likely you are to lose.” Ly said the council’s research shows that about 3.4 per cent of people in Ontario have a “moderate to severe gambling problem.” It’s a little-known fact, she said, considering that people impacted by other addictions, such as those with substance abuse problems, may show their problems in a more visible way. A gambling addiction could impact a person’s life just as negatively, she said, but it could be tougher to detect.

Angels keep me home for the holidays
Joanne Callaghan is just like you and me. She’s a daughter, sister, wife, mother and devoted and loving grandma. She’s also a cancer fighter. Here, in a letter to you, Joanne shares her story of hope and gratitude. Hello: Family is everything to me. I live to make things special for them, especially during the holiday season. This year will be no different, except that I’m fighting cancer. Again. I was first diagnosed with breast cancer twelve years ago. It was a struggle, but with the excellent care I received at BGH, and with my family beside me, I fought the cancer and won. The gifts people gave to make care better at BGH, made me better.
Taking on cancer for the second time, I can tell you that being able to receive care right at home means, you can keep living your life. It means I can keep making crafts and building forts with my grandkids. I can still go for coffee with friends on Tuesday and we can make that big breakfast we’ve always had on Christmas morning. This is the gift you give when you make a donation to the Belleville General Hospital Foundation. Without your donations I might not be home for Christmas. I’ve got my whole family beside me in this fight, but I need you too. Please make a donation to BGH today, and be a Christmas Angel for someone like me who wants to stay home for the holidays.
Donate Today. BGHF.CA/ANGEL
