tending events to bring heart healthy donations. Heart health education and awareness is a tenet of CP’s community investment program, CP Has Heart, which focuses on improving the heart health of men, women and children in communities across North America. The two brightly lit trains will kick off in the Montreal area on Nov. 27 and 28 on their way to visit approximately 150 communities. The “Canadian Train” travels west across Canada finishing its journey in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. The “US Train” visits communities across the U.S. Northeast and Midwest, and returns back to Canada for shows in Saskatchewan and Alberta. The concerts are always free, but you’re encouraged to make a donation to the local food bank -- either a non-perishable food item or a cash donation. All contributions will stay in your community. R0013566245
The Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday train will arrive on RCAF Road at approximately 11:20 a.m. on Nov. 30 and will, as usual, feature festive entertainment by this year’s entertainers Kelly Prescott and Devin Cuddy. 8 Wing Commander Colonel (Col.) Colin Keiver and Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison will make appearances on the train along with Care and Share Food Bank President Al Teal, who will be presented with a cheque from CP officials. Those attending the event will then get to listen to some great festive music prior to the train moving on to Brighton. The train will stop in Belleville at 10 a.m. Every year, the Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Trains travel through dozens of communities, raising food and cash donations for Canadian food banks. Again this year, the Holiday Train program is encouraging people at-

New dog-training programs come to Quinte West Trenton - Dominium Assistance Dogs and Muzzles and Snouts Quinte Dog Training School has officially opened for a unique dog experience unlike any before in Quinte West. Owner Lisa-Marie Guernon hosted Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison and guests for the official opening of both her dog training school and the non-profit organization Dominium Assistance Dogs, a program to pair service dogs with veterans and people in the community to help with mental or physical needs. Guernon said she already has a waiting list of 10 people looking for an assistance dog to help with mental and physical illnesses. “The response is amazing, the dogs are doing a great job and we see our clients blooming,� Guernon said of the eight dogs she has been training for service work at her new facility at unit 92, Building 6, 25 Frankford Crescent, Trenton. “For post-traumatic stress, we see them recovering and getting better at being part of society, especially with post-traumatic stress, they have a tendency to isolate themselves but by coming out they see people looking at the dog, being happy about the beautiful dog, so they have a better connection with their entourage and the community.� Guernon has been intensively studying PTSD and mobility Service Dogs programs and tasks for the past 2 years, but has experience with PTSD related tasks in dog training for more than six years. The Dominium Dogs are only avail-
able in the Quinte and surrounding area. It takes nine months for adult dogs of different breeds to get trained for public access and task training and costs around $3,000 to $5,000. Dominium’s breeding program will include only pure breed Labrador retrievers, who would be under training for 15 months and would cost approximately $15,000. Wade Watts attended Guernon’s official opening with his wife. He is wheel chair bound because he has progressive multiple sclerosis and is on Guernon’s waiting list for a mobility dog “My wife, pretty much, is my lifeline, she doesn’t get a break,� Watts said. “With an assistive dog I would be more free to go out on my own and do things because, you know, it’s very hard to get around and do things without assistance.� Watts said he is really looking forward to the freedom a mobility dog will bring to himself and his wife,
especially as his condition progresses. He said he has spent a fair amount of time with Guernon while being on the waiting list and applauds her for a job very well done. “When I’ve seen what she’s done with the other dogs and other people I’ve met through her, I’m just blown away,� Watts said. “It’s nice to be able to talk to someone who understands your position and understands disabilities.� Guernon has recently been selected, along with 25 other dog trainers across Canada, to be part of the Canadian General Standards Board Committee. The committee will help establish the Canadian standards for all types of Service Dogs. For more information about Guernon’s dog training classes you can visit muzzlesandsnouts.com or call 613-392-0206.

Quinte West to recognize those with disabilities Dec. 3 By Erin Stewart The municipalities of Brighton and Quinte West invite you to celebrate International Day of Persons with Disabilities on Thursday, Dec. 3 at the YMCA in Trenton. Quinte West and Brighton would like to highlight the amazing abilities and contributions of people with disabilities throughout the region from noon to 4 p.m. at the Quinte West YMCA on Dec. 3. Anne-Marie Cunningham, City of
Quinte West Accessibility Coordinator, said she is really happy this year’s theme of the day is “inclusion matters.� “That’s the whole idea of the event,� Cunningham said. “To talk about people with disabilities being included just like every other person and recognizing people’s abilities regardless of their disability.� The event will showcase keynote speaker Phil Kerr and interactive presentations from The Canadian Hearing Society, Quinte Sailability and
Quinte West PRISM. A number of representatives from organizations such as the Quinte and District Rehabilitation Services will be on hand to share information and answer questions. The finale of the day will be a live and interactive demonstration of the wheelchair basketball program, by Belleville’s YMCA, starting at 3 p.m. “We have a lot of people in our community that do amazing things, even though they may have a disability,� Cunningham said. “This is the first time we’ve had an event for this. We
thought it was a great opportunity to promote awareness of accessibility issues and celebrate the abilities of people with disabilities.� Cunningham said Quinte Access has been a huge help with bringing committee members together to organize the event and is also offering assistance with transportation the day of the event. If you would like to Quinte Access’ transportation service to attend the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, you can call them at 613-392-9640.

CFB Trenton busily preparing for up to 950 refugees not the case at all. “Let me be clear on this, I worry about the security of my members and their families every single day regardless of what they’re doing. My job is to make sure I look after my people and their members and at the end of the day security also means looking after the security of any refugees that come into Trenton.” Keiver said there is a challenge in hosting a large amount of refugees from a different culture who don’t speak the same language. He said he will give his people a full day’s worth of cultural awareness training, so they don’t offend through the best
of intentions, if the government announcement will have them moving forward with the 25,000 refugees coming to Canada by the end of 2015. “So all of these things that I view as security related issues, to make sure that we treat each other with the respect and dignity that both sides deserve, because if we don’t, that’s when I’ve got a security issue.” Keiver said the base is aiming to be finished their preparations for refugees by Dec. 1, when the movement of Syrian refugees could possibly begin. “It was a little bit rushed at first until we sat down and nailed out
what exactly we had to do,” Keiver said of the Dec. 1 deadline. “I’m quite comfortable where we are at right now in terms of our ability to house these people as of the first of December.” Meanwhile, the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre is looking for playpens, cots or mats to as-
sist the refugees coming to the base. They are not equipped for all the infants that will be arriving and are requesting help. If anyone has any of these items that could be donated or temporarily borrowed they would be very appreciative. Please contact them directly at 613 392-2811 ext. 3575.
Woman killed on 401
Colborne - A woman was killed Monday morning in a pedestrian-vehicle collision on Highway 401 near Colborne. In a ereport at press time this week, Northumberland OPP say a female pedestrian was struck on the highway between Lyle Street, Grafton, and Percy Street in Colborne at about 2:55 a.m. Monday. The woman, who was not identified, was pronounced dead at the scene. It is unclear if she had got out of a vehicle before walking onto the highway and police said it was not yet determined if she was hit by more than one vehicle.

at this end – at the largest air force base in Canada. The simple act of putting 1,100 non-military personnel into the middle of the largest air force base in Canada causes me concern from a security perspective. Even if they’re the bestintentioned people, it causes me concerns. So it’s all those things we’re wrestling with.” His comments also made it to television’s CTV National News where they caused something of a stir. Keiver told the Trenton audience those comments were interpreted as “Oh my goodness, there’s bad guys coming,” but told the Trenton gathering that is

Continued from page 3 comments he made when he said he was concerned about security, saying they were taken out of context. Keiver was quoted by CountyLive, a Picton-based online news site, after an appearance before the joint meeting of Picton Kiwanis and Rotary clubs, recently, saying he was “worried” about security issues surrounding a move to put more than 1,000 foreign civilians on Canada’s largest air force base. “As a base commander, I’ll be candid,” Kreiver was quoted as saying at the service club luncheon. “I worry about things like security

OPINION
Terrorism: A Relatively Minor Issue Tolerance of intolerance
Gwynne Dyer
By sheer coincidence, a book I wrote called “Don’t Panic: Islamic State, Terrorism and Today’s Middle East” was published just before the terrorist attacks in Paris. So naturally everybody interviewing me about the book asked me if it is time to panic now. They couldn’t resist it. And of course I replied no,
it is not time to panic. If a train derailed in the Paris Metro, killing 130 people and injuring over 300, the story would dominate the news in France for around 24 hours, 48 hours tops. In other countries it would definitely be only a oneday story: just one more transport accident, in a world where trains collide, planes crash and ships sink from time to time. But if it’s not an accident – if human beings deliberately caused those deaths – then the media feeding frenzy starts. The story is twenty times as big, and it can dominate the news schedules for a week. Most people in Europe, North America and the Middle East have watched at least several hours of coverage of the Paris events and their aftermath – as long as a feature film – and even in more distant parts of the world it has been the event of the week. There is nothing puzzling about this phenomenon. It’s perfectly natural for people to be more interested in murder than in mere mechanical malfunctions. But the sheer volume of the coverage makes a terrorist attack feel like a much bigger event than it actually is. Even if you live a very long way from where the real action is. If you live in Syria, the threat isn’t just terrorism. Islamic State is already a major threat to the many Syrians it hates (Shias, Christians, Druze, and even Sunni Muslims who have worked for the government or fought in the army). If IS gained control of the whole country, the number of Syrian refugees would double or triple. If you live in Iraq, you are much less at risk, for Islamic State has little hope of expanding into the Shia-dominated parts of the country still under Baghdad’s control, or into the areas under Kurdish control. If you live in Turkey or other Arab countries – indeed, in any other Muslim country – you may face a serious threat from homegrown extremists, but all they get from IS is

encouragement and maybe a bit of training. It’s really a domestic problem. If you live in France or the United States or China, your only worry is the occasional terrorist attack that may have been encouraged by Islamic State – but the people who carry it out are mostly locals. You deal with that sort of thing just the way you dealt with other terrorist threats in the past: border controls, enhanced security measures at public events, and good intelligence. If Western air forces want to bomb Islamic State too, by all means do so, but they will be all alone in that job. The Arab states that are allegedly part of President Obama’s “coalition” have all withdrawn their air forces and are bombing Yemen instead. And the Turks are almost exclusively bombing the Kurds (including the Kurds fighting Islamic State), except when they shoot down a Russian plane. The Russian and “coalition” (mostly American) bombs falling on Islamic State have stopped its expansion, at least for the moment, and the recent air attacks on the tanker-trucks that carry the black-market oil out have certainly cut into its income, but it is not about to fall. As for “boots on the ground”, forget it. The only people fighting Islamic State on the ground are the Kurds and what’s left of the Syrian army after four years of war. The Syrian army was on the brink of collapse last summer before the Russian bombing campaign saved it, and it still lacks the strength to recapture much territory. Islamic State is going to be around for a while. Stopping Western air attacks on Islamic State might save some Western cities from terrorist attacks, but even that is not guaranteed. Islamic State is competing with alQaeda for support in the Muslim and especially the Arab world, and spectacular acts of terrorism are good recruiting tools. Islamic State also thinks it is following a divinely ordained script, which makes it relatively impervious to normal calculations of strategic advantage. Does this mean terrorist attacks inspired by Islamic State will continue for months or years no matter what the West does? Probably. Within living memory Western countries have fought real wars that killed millions of their citizens, and they didn’t buckle under the strain. The scale of the threat they face now is so much smaller that it is ridiculous to call it a war at all, and yet they flap about like frightened poultry. If terrorist attacks on the scale of Paris are the greatest threat facing the West, then these are very fortunate countries.

should be called out Editorial - By Chris Malette
“If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.” John F. Kennedy, 1963. I received a phone call from a gentleman from the Brighton area Monday, suggesting something needs to be perhaps written in these pages about the issue of tolerance toward the very imminent reality of 25,000 Syrian refugees arriving on our shores. Indeed, they will be coming right to our communities – some already here, as in the case of privately sponsored families and others, in many communities in our readership area, soon to arrive under those charity and faith-based private sponsorships. But, the caller on this day said he was appalled – himself an immigrant from Britain – that there appears to be an ugly undercurrent of intolerance, Islamophobia and even outright racism being voiced by otherwise community-minded individuals here in the semi-rural heartland of east central Ontario. “I mean, it’s just terrible, some of the things I have been hearing from people I would have otherwise thought to be accepting of people who are so clearly in need of being welcomed,” said the caller. I told him I doubted such a piece would resonate, that those who agree with calls for tolerance would read such a message and, while already committed to having open hearts and open minds, “it would be preaching to the choir. Those whose minds are set against bringing in these refugees aren’t going to be swayed by a few words in a newspaper editorial or column.” But, afterward, it became clear that is not the correct response. I told him, while he admittedly does not use a computer much and certainly is not part of the Facebook and other social media generations, he would be stunned at the viciousness being spewed in online posts by those who would shut our doors to these refugees. Do you honestly think a family of six or

eight Syrians who have endured several years of drought and horrific warfare meted out against them by their own government would risk death in leaking boats to get to a country where bone-chilling cold is a fact of life for four to six months of the year if they were not desperately in need of an outstretched hand of welcome from a country that was built on such gestures and waves of migrants? So it was that I decided we need to keep the discourse open on the issue of tolerance for refugees. Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness, if you will, but this conversation needs to be held. Is there not some credence to perhaps slowing the logistically impossible goal of 25,000 by December 31? Some very wellinformed and well-placed immigration experts believe so. Is it so we can screen out the bad apples? Make sure there isn’t an ISIS member cowering among the skirts of the civilian women and children? Sadly, far too many of our close-minded citizens think this is the overriding threat, when homegrown terrorism is far more a threat than a lone wolf terrorist slinking in under the wire among a wave of immigrants. Foolhardy to think this is the case? Not if the vetting process is allowed to work in its own due course and if that takes more time, so be it. But, to close our borders and our minds to the plight of these suffering hundreds of thousands of people? Is that who we’ve become as Canadians? Are we to assume the vulgar nature of some of our American neighbours who cheer wildly at the rants of the deranged ravings of some would-be politicians on the far right? I would hope not. For that reason, then, we must continue to speak out against intolerance and work to welcome these newcomers to places like Belleville, Trenton, Brighton, Campbellford, Tweed and anywhere else they may be invited to take refuge. It would be outright un-Canadian to do otherwise.

Trenton churches sponsoring Christian refugee family By Erin Stewart Trenton – Churches across the city are working towards raising $40,000 to bring a Middle Eastern refugee family to Quinte West. Pastor Luke Vanderkamp, of St. Andrews Presbytherian Church in Trenton, said they have decided to sponsor a Christian family because of what he learned through researching what is going on in Syria. Vanderkamp said he realized there are 20 million refugees in the world and a number of minority groups, including Christians, are being
persecuted within refugee camps. “When there’s a limited number of resources it’s usually the minorities that get left out, so that’s exactly what’s happening in United Nations camps,” Vanderkamp said. As part of their criteria for a family, Vanderkamp set a goal to specifically help a Christian family who are facing persecution because of their faith; meaning the family they sponsor may not necessarily be from Syria. “This whole refugee crisis has a much bigger picture to it than maybe what we often see on mainstream media,

so I definitely wanted to do something about it but I also wanted to address some of the inequality that was going on,” Vanderkamp said. As the president of the Quinte West Ministerial Association, Vanderkamp said he brought the idea forward to other churches in the community and all of the churches in Trenton are working together to sponsor the family. The Association will be working alongside the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), who has the sponsorship agreement with the government. “Here we are, coming together as churches and R0013573579-1126 working with an GoMcCoy.com organization that none of us are 613-969-8884 affiliated with,” 81 Millennium PKWY.

Vanderkamp said they have already raised $6,000 from word-of-mouth within the church communities so far and said they just added the fundraiser to their bulletins and announced it at mass on Sunday, Nov. 22. Vanderkamp is hoping the word begins to spread throughout the community. In response to Canadians who do not want refugees coming to Canada, Vanderkamp had this to say: “I can understand why they might

Some were quite inventive, creating models with spots and swirls of many colours. Participants also had their names entered in a raffle to win one of two large Breyer models. Emerson Bourdon, age 9, of Belleville added the final details to her hand-painted Breyer Stablemate model horse during a Breyer Fun Day held on Saturday, Nov. 21, at Greenhawk in Stirling.

Belleville - A city driver has been charged and two people sustained minor injuries Sunday after a Via Rail train collided with a car near Moira Street West and Marshall Road. Police said firefighters, police and paramedics were called around 3:42 p.m. to the crash at a private crossing when a car, driven by a 19-year-old Belleville man, crossed the tracks and was struck by the westbound VIA train. The driver and 18-year-old passenger, also from Belleville, were taken to local hospital where they were treated and released with minor injuries. The driver reportedly com-

Paints and brushes were provided on-site. “This was our second year,” said Dawn Davies, who co-owns the store with her daughter, Courtney. “The kids really enjoy it. They come and have snacks and paint a Stablemate.” Overall, 24 children were signed up for the event. Most were girls, but there were a few boys, too. “Our registration was full,” said Davies. “We had people calling, in case

Quinte West’s Marijuana for Trauma has helped more than 120 since opening Ayla Bouthillier, administrator at Marijuana for Trauma (MFT) Quinte West, and Sheldon Clarke, full-time volunteer for MFT in Quinte West, stand in the MFT lounge area after a busy and surprising first month of MFT being open in Quinte West.

eral majority government, and hopes that people continue to be educated about the plant and supportive of the benefits marijuana is able to bring to people suffering mentally or physically. “There’s nothing out there that we wouldn’t do for a vet,” Clarke said. “We are trying to get the vet a normal quality of life, an interest, a hobby, a purpose, a reason to get up in the morning, to not struggle like we do daily, and it’s not just vets, sadly civilians are in the position too.”

He said he’s determined to reach the veterans who have retired and faded to black, hoping a friend or relative hears about MFT and points them in MFT’s direction. “There was a gentleman who had isolated himself for 12 years and never left the house. I come back to the first meeting and he’s coming through the door in a wheelchair, he’s an amputee, and he says ‘Hey man, good to see you.’ All I’ve got to do is stand there and say ‘No man, it’s good to see you.’” Clarke said MFT has been trying to expand into the Petawawa area, due to the large military presence, but the organization has faced some barriers, mainly due to the stigma against marijuana. He said the stigma is beginning to lessen, in part thanks to a new Lib-

“It’s growing a lot, it’s grown faster than I thought it would get off the ground and what is surprising the most about it is the amount of civilians… wow it’s kind of flooring in a way really.” Marijuana for Trauma has been open for a month and a half in Quinte West and Sheldon Clarke, full-time volunteer at Marijuana for Trauma (MFT), said it’s gone better than expected, with a couple of surprises. “It’s been overwhelming to see how many people that are out there who are really seeking help through cannabis… it’s kind of eye-opening, even for a guy like me who has already had his mind blown by it,” Clarke said. He estimated half of the Quinte West MFT clients are civilians. Clarke is a veteran who was medically released from the military. He served 23 years and after multiple tours in Afghanistan and Bosnia he now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. He sought help through Marijuana for Trauma when the first Ontario office opened in Markham. Clarke said it changed his life and made him a part of society again. Now he volunteers his time to help others cope with their mental or physical illnesses. “We’ve got nothing but a great welcome here,” Clarke said. “We’ve helped a lot of people.” Clarke said many people in the community have used MFT’s services but also people from Toronto, Kingston and even Ottawa are seeking their help. MFT is an organization that helps to provide alternative medical solutions and support to veterans and civilians and helps veter-
ans access programs they are entitled too through Veterans Affairs Canada. MFT also runs peer support groups and is preparing to start cooking classes to teach people the different ways you can prepare marijuana. Clarke said MFT is starting to turn into a safe place for veterans and civilians to go to get out of the house or talk to people who understand what they’re going through. “I think, for a lot of the guys, they’ve actually made MFT a part of their daily routine,” Clarke said. “Just being here helps them, they don’t even have to say anything, and they can help out when they’re here.” Clarke knows there is many other people who are isolated and don’t want to ask for help.

The sinking of the HMCS Trentonian focus of talk at Probus Club meeting
By Sue Dickens
Litwiller also noted this was the only battle that Winston Churchill was afraid of losing because if lost, it would have changed the history of Canada. Much of his research was done in the archives in Ottawa and his efforts resulted in finding information about those on the ship. “I found many survivors from the ship the Trentonian,” he said. Litwiller liked to talk to these naval heroes and get to know them. “They always talked about the food,” he said with a grin. He told a story of how bacon and stewed tomatoes was the most often prepared meal and learned that it was a favourite of the ship’s cook, Joe Taft. “Many of the stories lead to contrast showing happiness and fear, excitement and boredom, joy and anger. Anyone who has served can attest, it was about hurry up and wait,” he commented. Litwiller had many photos of the men that served and oftentimes he was able to put names to the faces.
This is a black and white photo of the HMCS Trentonian taken at the height of the invasion in July 1944. Photo Submitted
For example, he talked about Allen Singleton, from Saskatchewan, who was the sick bay attendant on the HMCS Trentonian and was also an avid photographer. “I collected over 300 of Allen’s photos which had been saved but all the negatives of photos he had taken went down with the ship,” Litwiller com-
mented. “Our navy is about the men and women who have gone down to the sea in ships and the accomplishments of our sailors have upheld the customs and traditions of the Canadian Navy for over 100 years,” he said. “The reality is these are our veterans.”

Campbellford – The sinking of the HMCS Trentonian was the subject of a presentation by author/historian/ lecturer Roger Litwiller at a recent meeting of the Trent Hills Probus Club. Guest speakers are an integral part of the format of the club’s regular monthly meetings which are social and include making plans for excursions and other fun events. Litwiller’s PowerPoint presentation included photos of some of the crew of the ill-fated warship with some anecdotes and solid information about the Battle of the Atlantic. Judy Pearce introduced Litwiller noting he was a Naval officer in the Canadian Armed Forces Reserve. His interest in the Royal Canadian Navy began as a Sea Cadet in Kitchener. Later he volunteered with the Navy League of Canada, becoming the Area Officer for Eastern Ontario. “For the past 33 years, Roger has been a paramedic in the Quinte area
and was decorated by the Governor General of Canada with the Exemplary Service Medal,” said Pearce. Litwiller and his wife Rhonda live near Trenton and enjoy travelling and photography. Roger sums up his work this way: “I am a storyteller who can save your life,” said Pearce with a grin. He has written several books including, White Ensign Flying, The Story of the HMCS Trentonian and Warships of the Bay of Quinte as well as articles for magazines and newspapers. He has lectured across Canada including at Crowsnest in St. John’s, NL and The Military Museums of Calgary, imparting stories of the Canadian Navy. “The Battle of the Atlantic was the single largest continuous battle in the history of mankind,” he told the Probus Club members. “It was the only theatre controlled by Canadians and the only theatre fought in WWII in Canada,” he added. “The real stories to be told are the stories of these men,” he said.

Half-cider, half-beer – introducing Holy Crow pire Cider in Brighton have joined forces to do something that’s never Trent Hills – Holy Crow! Church- been done before. Key Brewing in Trent Hills and Em- “I do believe it’s the first time that a

cidery and a brewery have collaborated on a beverage,” Church-Key owner John Graham declared, and the result is “a half cider, half beer” that’s also a first, he said. The cider ale “very much tastes like a bruised apple, which is quite neat.” The public will soon be able to judge for itself when Holy Crow as it’s called goes on sale at Church-Key at Pethericks Corner and Empire on Old Wooler Road near Codrington. The beverage will also be sold at bars and restaurants that are currently buyers of their products, from Toronto to Kingston for the cidery, and Windsor to Cornwall for the craft brewer. Publicans over the years have blended cider and beer at the tap in equal measure and called it a Snake Bite or Black Velvet, “but to my knowledge we’re the first ones to blend in the kettle, do a full boil and full ferment together,” he said. “That makes it unique.” Graham made a batch of 1,800 litres at his micro-brewery, using juice that
“Brighton used to be one of the capitals of apple country,” but the number of orchards have steadily declined. There “used to be thousands of acres of apples in Brighton,” McRae said. “You may have hundreds now. His focus has always been to buy local as much as possible. “We want to become one of [Dunnett’s] biggest customers.” Holy Crow “is a one-off but if it’s got legs we’ll do it again,” Graham said. “It was fun to do it together.” At six per cent Holy Crow’s alcoholic content is slightly less than the cider Empire produces but higher than Church-Key’s standard fare. Coming up with Holy Crow involved “experimentation and, like we do with everything, a leap of faith,” Graham said. Even though you’re using good quality ingredients, you’re “not exactly sure what influence” each will have on the other. But a recent sampling persuaded him its taste is “beautiful,” he said. The cider is “the backbone of the beer.”

was a blend of five apples created by Chris McRae, who owns Empire with his wife Jennifer Jarrel, and his cousin Felix Wittholz and his wife Laura. “It’s an awesome idea at the root of it [Holy Smoke],” he said, and its use of actual juice sets it apart from appleflavoured beers. The collaboration with Church-Key is “huge for us,” McRae said. “It gets our name out there [with a] company [that] has got a lot more reach,” and has been around much longer. Empire arrived on the scene in 2014 when the business produced 10,000 litres of cider from 50,000 pounds of apples, grown at Dunnett Orchards in Brighton. This year it’s already surpassed 17,000 litres. McRae, who works for the Department of National Defence at 8 Wing in Trenton, planted 300 trees on their five acre property, in order to meet what’s required under the law to have a retail store on site. Part of his vision in launching a cidery “was to help the apple industry,” McRae said.

Community Living marks milestone By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Celebrating “Inspiring 55 years of Possibilities” Community Living Campbellford/Brighton was front and centre at a recent meeting of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital board. “We support people with intellectual disabilities,” said Nancy Brown, executive director of Community Living. “And we are a lot larger than people realize,” she added. Her PowerPoint presentation was one of many similar talks that the board includes in their regular meetings as education sessions. Brown began by pointing out that sometimes their organization is confused with Community Care Northumberland which offers different services. Community Living has 120 to 130 staff and about 50 of whom are full-time the others are part-time she noted. “We support about 140 people with intellectual disabilities within Northumberland County and beyond,” Brown commented. “We actually slip
into Peterborough County quite often and sometimes Trenton. It is based on people’s needs and wants that our supports are provided.” Among other things Brown’s talk also highlighted the importance of developing partnerships, one of which is recent and is with the Campbellford hospital. An announcement earlier this year by Dr. Helena Jaczek, Minister of Community and Social Services, that Community Living Campbellford/ Brighton would be receiving $400,000 during the next two years, has made this new partnership possible. The money is to be used in collaboration with Campbellford hospital to create a centralized hub of supports for aging individuals with developmental disabilities that will allow them to continue living independently in rural areas. “We are grateful the hospital is willing to work with us in supporting people to access services that are accessible to everyone,” noted Brown. She also spoke of the support for employment by businesses such as

Sharpe’s Food Market, TV Cogeco, Tim Hortons, Eco Kids and Eco Chic Boutique. Employment support is near and dear to her heart. Brown has been with the organization for 29 years and began as a part-time resident staff member and worked her way up through the ranks to become executive director. “One of the first things I did was employment supports. People with intellectual disabilities have so much more to offer than people realize,” she told the board. Campbellford Living operates Campbellford Office Supplies and More store, an environment that provides business sales and training for people with intellectual disabilities. At the finish of the presentation hospital board member Rosemarie Peikes asked Brown if she had any concerns about sheltered workshops and the wage people there are paid. Peikes referenced CBC’s radio program “The Current” which, earlier this year, dealt with the topic of people with disabilities deserving real jobs and real pay. This was following an announcement to close a sheltered workshop in Ottawa. “My thought is that there’s a

number of organizations out there that are doing really good things,” replied Brown. “But I think we need to move forward and look at things differently. We want to give people different options and choices without that perception of exploitation,” she added. “So we offer Campbellford Office Supplies and More store. For the most
part we believe people that work there get a fair wage,” she commented. “We are evaluating how exactly where we are going to move forward so people are respected. It is something we really have to look at as a community not just as organizations. If people are working should they not be entitled to certain benefits?”
More layoffs expected at QHC By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Quinte Health Care expects to lay off a significant number of staff in the coming months, as the health care organization concludes a massive restructuring aimed at achieving a balanced budget for the 2016-17 year. QHC, the organization that oversees four regional hospitals, announced details of the plan in a media release issued Thursday, Nov. 19. It says if the proposed changes are fully implemented, there would be 84 fewer positions at QHC. Belleville General Hospital would see a reduction of 49 positions and Trenton Memorial Hospital would see a reduction of 29 positions. Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital would see a reduction in six positions and North Hastings Hospital would be unchanged. Susan Rowe, a QHC spokesperson, said it’s too early to say exactly how many people will end up losing jobs as a result. Early retirement packages will be offered to some staff, to reduce the number of people who have to leave involuntarily. Other staff could be laid off, but later hired back into a new position that’s been created through the restructuring, she said. In any case, the organization admitted that the news was difficult to announce. The restructuring is intended to allow QHC to remove $11.5 million in expenses next year in order
to operate within its reduced funding levels from the province. This includes a $7-million reduction in administration/ support departments and $4.5 million in patient care areas, QHC said. “These changes are extremely difficult for everyone at QHC and we are focused on supporting our staff through this stressful process,” said QHC President and Chief Executive Officer Mary Clare Egberts. “Unfortunately it is not possible to remove another $11.5 million from our organization without reducing the number of staff positions.” Egberts also said that although there are some changes to clinical services and access to care across the hospitals, the vast majority of the proposed changes for 2016-17 are related to staffing levels and efficiencies in almost every area of QHC. In recent days, QHC managers have been meeting with leaders of the four unions which have members employed at the four hospitals – the Ontario Nurses Association, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union, SEIU Healthcare and Unifor. Another round of meeting with the unions is expected to take place Dec. 9 to 11, Rowe said. These meetings allow union leaders to look at the proposals and make suggestions on ways the impact on staff can be reduced. But ultimately, QHC’s board of directors will have the final say on decisions. The proposal is on
the agenda for the Tuesday, Nov. 24 meeting. The final decision, however, will likely be made at the Jan. 26 board meeting, when directors begin the process of passing a balanced budget for the 2016-17 fiscal year, which begins in April. These decisions, Rowe said, come towards the end of a four-year struggle by QHC to achieve budget harmony, following the introduction of a new funding formula that is partly based on population numbers in a hospital organization’s area. Last December, QHC issued nine layoffs as the first step towards eliminating a nearly $12-million funding gap. Four months later, the province came through with a onetime $3.5 million funding commitment intended to ensure QHC could keep emergency services at all four of its hospitals. The money was also to allow the organization more time to restructure itself to achieve a balanced budget. Now, QHC feels it is close to achieving that goal, Rowe said. But she stressed that changes in the hospital industry are constant and the organization will always be looking at ways to be efficient. “The budget we’ve proposed to the board does correct QHC’s cost structure and aligns it with other hospitals in the province,” she said. “All hospitals in Ontario are becoming more efficient every year. We need to keep up to them.”
YMCA hosts wheelchair sports development day Belleville – The Ontario Wheelchair Sports Association and the YMCA of Central East Ontario joined together to host the Division 3 Wheelchair Basketball Development Day on Sunday, Nov. 15 at the Belleville branch. The YMCA welcomed 19 athletes from across Ontario to participate in this development day workshop that was open to anyone who was interested in learning the game of wheelchair basketball. Athletes travelled from places such as Tillsonburg, Aurora, Mississauga and Ottawa to attend this event. The Ontario Wheelchair Sports Association (OWSA) provided five coaches who led the athletes through various icebreakers, warm ups and technical
skills and drills throughout the morning and spent the afternoon participating in different game formats where spectators were wowed by the talent displayed by the athletes. “We are delighted to host the OWSA’s first development day of the season,” said Amanda Boldrick, YMCA Manager of Health & Fitness of YMCA of Central East Ontario. “We are very excited about this opportunity at the Y; it’s a great way to engage the community in the promotion of our own weekly drop in Wheelchair Basketball program at the Belleville branch and bring awareness to important issues such as accessibility and inclusion,” Boldrick added. The groundwork for the
YMCA’s own drop in Wheelchair Basketball program was established when Katherine Kerr, a local Occupational Therapist with Quinte and District Rehabilitation Inc. and Boldrick met through mutual friends and discovered they shared a passion for helping others and the desire to encourage individuals with varying physical abilities and exceptionalities to participate in sport together. With help and the generous donation of wheelchairs from local businesses including the Belmont Long Term Care facility and Motion Specialties, the YMCA is able to offer this program every Thursday evening from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and is inclusive to all.
NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT Highway 401 and County Road 40 Interchange 522 Commuter Parking Lot Expansion WP 4026-06-01 Planning and Detail Design Study WSP Canada Inc., in partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO), have commenced the Preliminary and Detail Design Study/Environmental Assessment for the expansion of the commuter parking lot at Highway 401 Interchange 522 (IC), at Wooler Road (County Road 40). This project is being undertaken in consultation with the local municipalities, government agencies, aboriginal communities and the general public. The objectives of this study are to develop a Preliminary and Detail Design to expand the commuter parking lot that provides a long term improvement to meet local demand. The project will include a review of the commuter parking lot design and roadway modifications to Wooler Road. In addition, engineering, environmental and property requirements will be established, along with the identification of mitigation measures to reduce residual effects. THE PROCESS This study will follow the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000), process for a Group ‘B’ project. Based on the information collected during the study, an environmental screening will determine whether any of the proposed works pose any significant environmental effects and requires the preparation of a Transportation Environmental Study Report, which would be made available for public review and comment. If there are no significant issues, the study may be “stepped down” and follow the process for a Group ‘C’ project. An Environmental Screening Document (ESD) will be prepared and the project will proceed to the Construction Stage. The ESD is an internal Ministry document and is not eligible for bump-up (i.e. a Part II Order). Prior to the “step down” a notice will be published in this paper. Scheduling of the improvements will be determined during Detail Design.
Key Plan COMMENTS The Project Team is interested in hearing comments from individuals, groups, and the general public. Comments and information regarding this study are being collected to assist MTO in meeting the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this project please do not hesitate to contact us. Any persons interested in being included on the study mailing list should contact the consultant project manager. Interested persons are encouraged to provide comments by December 19, 2015.

Belleville – One of Canada’s smartest people is living in Belleville. That is, if you consider participating in the CBC show, Canada’s Smartest Person, as a barometer of that distinction. Dan Tweyman recently returned home from participating in the series, which was filmed over recent weeks in Toronto. The series finale aired on Sunday, Nov. 22, when viewers witnessed a 21-year old engineering student from Newfoundland win the honour. Tweyman, a 36 year old who moved to Belleville two years ago, was ousted in the first hour of the two-hour finale. He was pitted in a one-on-one challenge with a hip hop artist is a game that kind of resembled beer pong. They had to bounce ping pong balls into cups of water and the first one to put balls into a line of three cups won. That was an example of a physical and physics-related challenge. Earlier in the show, contestants were asked math questions and had to come up answers within seconds. The show also featured social and visual challenges. In one challenge, they were shown photographs cropped to show only the eyes of a subject. They had to determine what emotion those eyes were showing, such as happiness or anger.

She asked that concerns and questions “that went unanswered and were not addressed” at council’s Nov. 2 meeting be added to the agenda for the Dec. 7 meeting. Walas, who has recused himself from council whenever his subdivision proposal is to be discussed, said in an interview his development company has worked to meet the conditions it was given when it received draft plan approval from council in 2008, before he entered politics. “I’m just working through the conditions as ... we move forward to the construction stage,” he said. One of the conditions was to have the site, almost 10 acres, rezoned, which was recently granted. “I understand there are levels of concern
but people also need to understand that the Lower Trent is an agency of the municipality and does not work for any developer,” he said, and the conservation authority approved the storm water master plan that his engineers, Greer Galloway, submitted. “We are listening to all the comments and concerns that are coming forward and our engineering firm will be answering all those to the best of our ability,” Walas said. Pooles in her letter said some Lakehurst Street residents failed to receive notice that rezoning of the land was coming up for discussion. “I think that reflects badly on us, for one, and it complicates the issue,” said Councillor John Martinello, who spoke against simply receiving the letter for information when council met Nov. 19 to complete unfinished business from its meeting three days earlier. Council needed to send a message that Pooles’ concern was being taken “seriously,” Martinello said. Councillors Laura Vink and Brian Ostrander said staff have been directed to answer the issues that have been raised, which included circulation of the notices. R0012766724

8 Wing gets sporty for RBC Sports Day CFB Trenton - They came out in droves to participate in the RBC Sports Day in Canada at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton. “I watched a level of participation that I’ve never seen before at this Wing,” noted 8 Wing Commander Colonel (Col.) Colin Keiver following the event and while giving kudos to base personnel for making it happen by taking part. It was the same theme espoused by Major (Maj.) Jeanae Jackson, OPI for the event. She added that organization of the event was a total team effort as well, but would not have been as successful as it was without the participation and involvement of base personnel. “You guys made this happen by showing up and taking part,” she said at the closing ceremonies, where it was announced that 424 Squadron had won the Wing Commander’s Challenge Sports Day in Canada trophy. In fact, personnel were only following Col. Keiver’s orders. In his morning presentation, he told the participants they had a job to do. “You guys have a job to do today – go out, have fun and get to know one another and respect each other,” he
instructed. Two action-packed days were set up, the first to involve as many base personnel on Friday and the second to open the facilities on the base to civilian personnel and to family members of base personnel on Saturday. Quinte West councilor Duncan Armstrong, whose father he described as a tough-love sergeant killed in a training accident in 1969 while serving in Trenton as a search and rescue technician with 424 Squadron, said he was a life-long supporter of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and was proud to bring greetings on behalf of the municipality. “Today’s national sports day is an example of the freedom we as Canadians enjoy because of the fine work and dedication of men and women like yourselves. Canadians can take a break today and enjoy these freedoms – the freedom to play,” he said. Col. Keiver, in his opening remarks, reiterated the themes he highlighted during his Change of Command speech in August – professionalism, readiness and leadership. Seeing nearly 600 personnel on the parade square Friday morning, he told the turnout they were demonstrating leadership by taking part. He also was pleased to see 8 Wing/

Naturalists and others concerned about the proliferation of industrial wind turbines in the south of Prince Edward County fully understand the efforts TrueMan Tuck has made in aiding in the fight against corporate interests that exclude the wishes and needs of the people of Prince Edward County and its natural wildlife. TrueMan intends to continue representing the interests of the Bay of Quinte Citizen-Rulers in a number of different ways. If you want to work with TrueMan to address the issues that he highlighted during the elections, TrueMan urges you to contact him. As well, TrueMan Tuck warned the local voters during the last Provincial election and recent Federal election of the consequences of only voting for Liberal or Conservative candidates. Look at the mess we are in now with a majority Liberal government in Ontario and the same in Ottawa. TrueMan’s Different Viewpoint is that the real problem in these elections is that the failure to reform the Canadian election systems to be a proportionate system gives the one per cent of the global elite the ongoing ability to manipulate our elections by what TrueMan refers to as “Buffaloing” Canadian voters by panicking them to self-destructing. One of the most famous cliffs in North America where Buffalos were panicked and driven over the cliff to their slaughter was in Alberta Canada. Think about what just happened in the federal election. The combination of hatred for Harper, removing the blackout on the eastern results and Harper’s new trade agreement, combined with everything else got the one per cent ruling global elites exactly what they wanted - another either Liberal or Conservative majority government! TrueMan is a passionate and dedicated Christian crusader for Citizen-Rights and strongly believes that all bible based Christians and others who share Trueman’s determination to assert our God-given Judeo-Christian Citizen-Rulers rights of ownership and control over all corporations, whether government, quasigovernment or non-government need to permanently organize. TrueMan states:“God created human beings and we human beings cannot and should not claim to be equal or greater than our Creator. “Human Beings created corporations to serve humanity, not enslave and exploit humanity. Corporations cannot and should act as if they are equal or superior to human beings”!
CFB Trenton personnel taking the opportunity to enjoy some recreational time together, because he predicted things would get very busy on the base in the near future. “On or about Dec. 1, this place is about to get very busy,” he told the large gathering at the Astra Lounge, adding he had just tendered a $1 million contract for upgrading of the Cadet camp facilities. “I’m going to be asking you to work pretty hard over the next little bit and it will impact you and your families.” For this particular day, however, he was happy to see the base personnel come out and enjoy some fun time together in a competitive, respectful environment. If there was one major takeaway from this event, it was that it should be held earlier in the calendar year next year, he noted. He liked the atmosphere and pledged to promote a similar camaraderie for the winter carnival, which he promised to make more fun this year by perhaps holding it at the Batawa ski hill and making the sports a little more sporting with “real sports.” A wide variety of sports and events filled the day for base personnel on Friday, including such events as ball hockey, basketball, flag football, hockey, indoor soccer, squash, but also including a rappel tower challenge, mini golf, a five kilometer run/ walk, an amazing race on the base, yoga and a mindfulness retreat plus geocaching. Saturday featured swimming and water sports at the pool, skating and hockey clinics at the RCAF Flyers Arena at the Duncan MacDonald Memorial Arena in Trenton, fitness and aerobics classes at the RecPlex, geocaching and family activities at the Trenton YMCA.

Trenton Golden Hawks lose in double overtime
CFB Trenton Commanding Officer, Col. Keiver, dropped Trenton – The Trenton Golden the puck on Friday night’s Hawks faced a tough loss on game in support of National Friday, falling to the Toronto Sports Day with over 600 fans Patriots in double overtime. at the rink.
By Erin Stewart
The teams had very different records going into Friday’s game, Patriots with six wins, 14 losses, two overtime losses and the Hawks with 21 wins, two losses and one
overtime win. Two shots got past goalie Trenton Jackson McIntosh in the second period. The Hawks battled to tie the game in the third period with two goals scored by Jordan Chard and Kevin Lavoie and Liam Morgan with the two assists. Improved playing in the third period wasn’t enough for the Hawks to seal the victory. The Patriots scored the winning
goal in double OT, a disappointing loss for the team. John McDonald, director or hockey operations for the Golden Hawks, said they were faced with a couple of injuries going into Friday’s game and six players had played six games in five days “who were a little tired and didn’t have much gas left in the tank.” The Trenton Golden Hawks have still had a fantastic season
so far and continue to top the Ontario Junior Hockey League East Division with 21 wins to date. Goalie Daniel Urbani is still number one in the league and Liam Morgan rounds out the list of the league’s top scorers in the tenth spot. The Hawks hosted Whitby Fury on Wednesday and have another home game against the North York Rangers on Friday.

Lancers basketball team extends win streak to three By Stephen Petrick
Belleville – The Loyalist Lancers men’s basketball team is on a roll as it prepares to head east for arguably its biggest test of the season. The Lancers extended their win streak to three, after beating Canadore College 89-83 at home on Sunday. A day earlier the Lancers beat Centennial 9065. This weekend, they head to Ottawa to face the Algonquin Thunder, with second place in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association East division on the line. The Lancers head into the game in a three-way tie for
third-place, with St. Lawrence and George Brown, with a 5-2 record. Algonquin is in second place with a 6-3 record. Then, on Sunday, the Lancers face La Cite Coyotes, who at 9-0 lead the division. A win over La Cite would make a statement for the Lancers who are competing in a crowded race for the top two positions in the East, which allow a team an automatic entry into the OCAA championship tournament. The Lancers will need big games from players such as Funsho Dimeja, who had a game-high 23 point in the Canadore game, and Jayvon Grant
Lake, who had 18 points and was on the floor for all but 33 seconds on the Canadore game. Carlo Pantaleon is another Lancer having a big season. He scored 20 points in the Centennial game and is currently third in team scoring, behind Dimeja and Grant Lake, with an average of 12 points a game. The women’s Lancers basketball team is also in the thick of things in their loop. The women can move into a tie for first place with Algonquin if they win in Ottawa on Saturday.

OSPCA seizes 85 animals from local home
By Brett Mann
Tweed – One of the largest seizures of animals took place near Tweed and the homeowner was charged with assault in the raid. The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) with the assistance of the Quinte Humane Society seized 85 dogs and cats from a home on Crookston Road Nov. 18. In total 53 dogs, 23 puppies and 10 cats were removed to the Humane Society’s shelter in Belleville. While many of the animals did not appear to be malnourished or mistreated, some did require veterinary attention, said Frank Rockett, Humane Society executive director. “On November 18, 2015 the Quinte Humane Society and the Ontario SPCA Major Case Management Team executed an Ontario SPCA search warrant in the town of Tweed Ontario,” Rockett reported. “Mainly it’s enforcement agents of that team and additional agents if required that work together for the team to handle things that are high volume like this.” The seizure was an unusually large one for the local humane society and Rockett noted provincial police officers were part of the operation. “They were involved in the execution of the warrant, but this is our officers who are dealing with this particular type of matter.” OSPCA officers are those who will be following the case through the court process, “if it goes to that,” said Rockett. Asked how unusual a seizure of this many animals is for the local humane society, Rockett replied, “It’s certainly a large number, the largest we’ve had this year. Total 85 animals, 10 cats, 52 adult dogs and 23 puppies … some of them were recommended to have almost immediate veterinary care, and

we can do that. The others are all in various states of health and we’re taking all the necessary steps to get them in good health. There was a certain level of care that was happening, but it wasn’t adequate for the sheer num-
ber of animals. It’s our responsibility to make sure that animals are cared for properly.” Describing the added burden placed on the society’s resources, Rockett said, “We may have, at a given time,
150 or so animals at the shelter. To receive 85 in one shot, that’s a tremendous number of animals.” He credits the dedication of his staff in the situation. “The level of care they provide and the amount of compassion they
show is outstanding. It’s on a daily basis but it really stands out in a situation like this. If not for the actual work and dedication of my staff we would not be able to cope.” Please “OSPCA” on page B3

Nurses’ Association denounces proposed QHC cuts 27 positions. Stroud accused QHC of inventing “a new magical language to paint a prettier picture of its cuts to registered nurses that threaten the safety of patients needing care.” “Throwing around expressions such as ‘changing the inter-professional care model’ and ‘supporting the senior-friendly hospital strategy’ to announce devastating RN cuts to units at Quinte Health Care sites is just an attempt to fool the community into believing that patient care will not suffer,” HaslamStroud said. “In fact, the loss of a total of 33 full-time and 12 part-time registered nurses is the
loss of almost 100,000 hours of hands-on, RN care per year for our patients – plain and simple.” Haslam-Stroud pointed out the cuts to RNs are occurring across three sites, with RNs cut from Trenton Memorial Hospital’s emergency department, operating room and recovery room; RNs cut from Belleville’s complex continuing care rehab, medicine unit and rehab day hospital, surgical unit, infection control and newly formed women/children unit; and RNs cut from Picton’s endoscopy unit and in-patient unit. “Registered nurses know that the research is clear,” says Haslam-Stroud. “Our patients

Local 8300, for comment were unsusccessful. Unifor is expected to lose 25 unionized member employees if the proposal goes through. The changes are expected to also reduce the number of Ontario Public Service Employees Union members by five and the number of SEIU Healthcare members by 18.

Belleville – The president of one of the unions impacted by proposed cuts to Quinte Health Care is speaking out against the move. Linda Haslam-Stroud, president of the Ontario Nurses Association, had some harsh words for QHC management in a statement released on Friday, Nov. 20; a day after QHC announced a restructuring plan that would result in 84 fewer positions. Of the four unions that have members employed at QHC, the ONA is expected to be the hardest hit, as it stands to lose

Woodlot event draws record crowd
When it comes to wooded areas in the Quinte region, strange things are happening, the annual woodlot conference sponsored by the Quinte Stewardship Council was told Friday. The event, moved to a new location in the Batawa Community Centre after many years in the Knights of Columbus Hall, Trenton, drew a record crowd of more than 240 for a full day of lectures, displays and conducted hikes. Southern Ontario generally is lagging behind other jurisdictions in implementing its own biodiversity strategy plan, mainly from development pressures. But the situation is improving as more landowners and municipal councils come onside for conservation and protection of habitat and ansis (areas of natural or scientific interest.) Mark Stabb, central Ontario program director , Nature Conservancy of Canada, had special praise for the work of stewardship councils, especially the Quinte area one. He also lamented that from what was once a network of such councils across the province, many have folded. Valuable wetlands continue to dis-
OSPCA seizes
Continued from page B1 Rockett noted that there is an ongoing investigation into the case and that he was limited in the information he was free to share. “This is certainly why we’re here, to take care of animals that need care, but we really do rely on the community, the community of Tweed as well, to carry on this function.” An attempt to contact the animals’ owner was unsuccessful. Tex Ritter, senior OSPCA agent, initially attended the home where the animals were seized. Asked if this was in response to a specific complaint, he noted that “almost all of our cases result from informants … we had police officers with us and we executed a warrant. The property owner was there.” He agreed with Rockett’s description of the state of health of the animals. “We had a veterinarian on site and she provided an assessment of all the animals and the environment. This resulted in a Veterinarian’s Certificate of Removal and on her advice we removed the animals.” “It was quite a large seizure, bigger than most,” said Ritter. “This was a little overwhelming for one officer to handle so we called in the team.” In the course of the operation one person was charged with assaulting a peace officer and Ritter said investigations are ongoing. It was reported one of the investigating officers alleged being shoved by the homeowner.
appear under development, but that pace is at least slowing, he reported. Species at risk, especially turtles and amphibians, remain so, but again, some progress is being made. Municipal councils, conservation authorities and landowners are increasingly coming to realize the value of conservation for habitat and variety of species and general health of the land. A minimum of 17 per cent of land area being conserved is now considered the rule of thumb, he said, and some areas have a way to go to reach that. Also threatened are alvar areas and prairie oak habitats. Flying squirrels was one of his passions. He explained there are two types in Ontario, the northern and southern. The northern one is squirrel sized and distinctly reddish in colour. The southern one is chipmunk size and blondish. In recent years, with milder winters, the southern breed’s range is moving northerly. There is also evidence that the two species, distinct for thousands of years, are hybridizing, sharing tree holes for shelter and producing cross-animals of different sizes and colouring. For log-keeping naturalists, he noted that the largest native white pine, Ontario’s official tree, is now near Arnprior, after long-standing record holders, including a fa-

American Idol winner on the way to Havelock
By Bill Freeman
Havelock – American Idol winner Scotty McCreery will bring his rich, southern voice to the 27th annual Havelock Country Jamboree Aug. 1821. McCreery wowed judges and fans in 2011 when he became the youngest male vocalist to win the American Idol title and second youngest overall. It was the show’s 10th anniversary year and it launched McCreery on a fast-rising career that has seen him tour with Brad Paisley and The Band
Perry in 2012 and this year on Rascal Flatt’s Riot Tour. The Band Perry is on the way to Havelock too. The Jamboree made the announcement of McCreery’s Aug. 20 show along with appearances by The Road Hammers, Tebey, The Good Brothers and the Sweetgrass Band who join The Band Perry, Sammy Kershaw, Asleep at the Wheel, Chad Brownlee, Jess Moskaluke, Jaydee Bixby, Runaway Angel and Kansas Stone at the four-day music and camping festival with more names to be released. The laid-back McCreery followed
up his American Idol success with the smash hit debut album “Clear As Day” which was one of the biggest selling albums of 2011, producing two top 20 songs. So far he’s sold over 2.5 million albums and has had three certified platinum singles He grabbed the American Country Music Association’s Best New Artist award in 2012. “McCreery was clearly meant for the stage,” said Angela Smith of The Patriot Ledger of Quincy, Massachusetts

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
What about sexual identity in teen suicides?
R0013491466
Dear Editor, Re: Chris Malette’s column – “An appalling killer of our young people” I am wondering why this column did not mention struggles with sexual identity and coping with social pressures and/or bullying related to that?? Teen suicide in Canada happens on average 500 times a year. The largest percentage of those are related to sexual identity and/or coping with it. And before you claim that this is lumped in with mental health, let me point out that they have removed sexual identification whether it be gay, lesbian or transgendered - from all aspects of the mental health act. Where once it was thought of as illness, it is no longer. If you are going to shout from the roof tops… people wake up, we need to deal with our alarming suicide rate in teens, you need to be shouting about the realities - sexual identity and bullying related to that is one of the major contributors to that concern. I know of three couples in town, who each have a gay/lesbian child. They gush over that one child with me, because they have no concern over being rejected by me because they had a gay or lesbian child. They have not told their friends at church about the one child for fear of being ostracized. They have three children, but only publicly comment on the two. Not talking about something is far
Limo ride caps ‘amazing’ fundraiser By Bill Freeman
worse than talking about the reality of things. Let me ask you, if one of your children came to you tomorrow and stated they were gay/lesbian/transgendered, would you be prepared for that reality? Would your children find you approachable to talk to you about that? Would you have friends you could talk to about that impact on your lives? Or would you hide it from everyone and keep it “within the family” like some sort of disease? I am asking you the hard questions because people don’t think about these things..or talk about them openly. The is a wonderful organization known as PFLAG, in case you ever need to know or need to tell someone of it. It is Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays...PFLAG. They are exactly that.. friends, parents, relatives of those we love that live their lives as gay or lesbian or transgendered individuals. They have chapters all over the world, even locally. (https://www.pflagcanada.ca/ en/index.html). I do hope that we can continue to challenge this trend for all of our children and help to minimize the numbers of these special children lost to this trend. We need to continually stress the issue “that no one dares mention.” Hope this all helps. Will Carmichael Brighton

OPINION
Some lighter fare from the word buffet, this week. Sorry, pardon the punny launch, but we’re talking food today. We all eat it, some more or less than others, especially those among us who are trying to fast, starve and shrink into the holiday season on something as ludicrous as a pre-Christmas diet. Some of us will purge our systems of alcohol for the month of January, also known as Dry January. In the UK, they actually have a fundraiser for cancer research wherein the abstainer swears off the hooch for the month and collects pledge money to do so. The practice brought one British columnist to revulsion, however, and this is how Lucy Hunter-Johnston, of The Independent, sees the practice: “So here we are again in the endless, dismal nightmare of January. We’re all fat, stony broke, and barely on speaking terms with our partners, without even a glimmer of tinsel to keep us cheerful. It’s without doubt the bleakest 31 days of the year, made bleaker still by the smug chorus that invariably greets any offer to get a much-needed round in: ‘Make mine a lime and soda, yeah?’ To which the only suitable response is withering look and a swift brace of shots.” But, I digress. We’re talking about food because, well, it’s my damn column and I like the stuff! Seriously, we all have our favourite foods – be it that gloppy Red Dye #6 infused goo from your local Chinese takeout restaurant
or a nicely marbled steak on the grill. We all, too, have our favourite go-to places for certain foods. Take cheese. I personally prefer Maple Dale for my table and cooking needs as I’m goofy for their aged cheddar, as is my brother in British Columbia who would pay a king’s ransom out there for any cheddar north of five years old. So, when he’s in the area, his bag is usually stuffed with the eight-year-old variety or older and he pays a king’s ransom in baggage fees to lug it back to the Wet Coast. That said, other pals have a thing for Ivanhoe, Empire or Black River. My buddy Rob Cooke’s dad, R.D. had a trucking business that used to pick up cheese rounds at all the local factories (using Rob and his brother Brian as indentured labour) and Cookie can still rhyme off all the little, long-gone cheese factories that used to be found on every third or fourth concession road in these parts. They’re no more, but we ought to consider ourselves blessed that we still have four solid cheese factories from which to get the real goods and we don’t even really realize it until relatives or friends come to visit and they start frothing at the idea of going to a real, honest to goodness cheese factory. When I lived for a time east of Stirling, I used to throw the kids in the car and embark on what we called the Belly Buster Tour for a Saturday morning treat. First stop was Empire Cheese east of Campbellford for some R0013575442
R0013550813
Hey, winter’s coming. Eat up!
Chris Malette curd. Next it was on to World’s Finest Chocolate in town for, what else, chocolate covered anything. Lots of it. From there, we’d wheeze on down to Dooher’s to get the amazing creamfilled doughnuts, breads and cookies for which they’re famous. In the car, ids, because the last stop on the BBT is the Meyersburg Flea Market down Highway 30. Inside is (was??) a deli run by the nicest old Ukrainian fellow who made all of his own sausages and many of the Polish delights I was raised on, such as cabbage rolls and Polish breads. Armed with a half coil of ham kielbasa and some other smoky pork delights (and the kids with a handful each of Polish candies that are handed out by Vlad, the meat meister) we’d head back home knowing it was going to be a delightful week feasting on the yummy treasures of our trek. Everyone, too, has their favourite out of the way restaurants, the greasy spoons we love for their signature dish – be it a plate of liver `n onions or a beautiful bowl of soup and fresh bread or roll on a cold November day. I have a string of them, here in Belleville and the surrounding area, that have come and gone over the years, many still serving up the old favourites. Doesn’t mean they all have to be loveable dumps, mind you. I still appreciate a good steak at Earl & Angelo’s, like nothing more than a decent plate of pasta at Paulo’s or the Parisian delights of Auberge de France or Capers, but the journey to finding these great places to eat is what makes it half the fun. You know, jump in the car and wind your way around – now that the terrorists, er, tourists are largely gone back to The Big Smoke – searching out the mom and pops that make our towns and villages so great. Prince Edward County has been over-the-top hyped to the moon and back as a foodie heaven and you can’t get a reservation at the trendoid hipster haven, The Drake Devonshire, for a month during the fixed price campaign through November. But, you don’t have to do trendy in The County, either. Continued on page 21

Any church that has been around for 200 years must have a story. Belleville’s Bridge Street United Church has dozens of them, many of which were included in a pageant type presentation as part of the congregation’s official 200th anniversary celebrations Saturday. Those were was almost a day-long event including an open house and community fair in the morning, musical demonstrations with the organ, hand bell choir and other instruments at noon and a fullblown presentation about the early circuit riders for the Methodist Church which ultimately became today’s United Church. Participants included Janet Kellough whose series of books about the early circuit riders inspired a dramatic presentation written by Veronica Leonard as a series of vignettes based on historical records and diary entries by early Methodists. Suitably costumed actors including clergy and lay members plus special guests took the parts of various characters. One converted Methodist was a chief of the lo- harsh climate, steep, slippery stream banks and Rev.

Grand Champion honey is the bee’s knees for Campbellford’s first-time beekeeper By Sue Dickens
Campbellford – Winning is sweet and in this case even more tasty for Garry Parr and his wife Brianne who returned home from the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair with five awards including Grand Champion of all liquid honey. It’s the bee’s knees as far as they are concerned. Not bad for a newbie beekeeper who took a one-day course offered by the University of Guelph in nearby Port Hope and then bought some bees and set the hives up near a couple of hundred wild sunflowers in the heart of his farm near a spring on the property. “I couldn’t believe winning myself. I was just hoping to get maybe any kind of ribbon,” he said. “I knew the quality up at the Royal was amazing but to get the overall champion is phenomenal.” Parr won not only grand champion of all liquid honey (for Ontario and provinces east) but his honey also won champion of the white liquid honey category; the Lorna Robinson Trophy, It’s the bee’s knees as far as Campbellford’s Garry Parr and his wife Brianne are concerned. These first- (highest number of points in the honey time beekeepers brought home the Grand Champion trophy for all liquid honey won along with four section - 5); the Reserve Premier Exother awards at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair: from left, Garry and Brianne Parr and his sister hibitor Award; and the Dominion and Jennifer Parr. he said. Photo submitted Grimm Award for having top score in
an individual class. “There were three judges and they looked at clarity and moisture and they tasted the honey,” Parr explained. “Moisture is critical. If you harvest too early the moisture is high and the honey will crystallize quicker.” Parr spent months researching beekeeping before getting buzzed about his latest endeavour. He and his wife are the same couple that The Independent featured in 2013 when their 17-year-old mare, Big Sky, whose father is famous Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew and mother is Spilled Beans by another Triple Crown favourite Secretariat, had a foal in March which they named Big News. “Her foal is doing great and will start training this spring as a three-year-old filly,” he commented. But that is a story for another day. When Parr decided to purchase about a half dozen hives from a local beekeeper, he had no idea that it would lead to such success. His attention to details and meticulous research last winter gave him the information he needed. “Our Queen is a Canadian Queen that has already been through a winter. The success of the hives depends a
lot on the Queen bee,” he noted. Parr also learned it’s about spending time with the bees. “I only got stung one time this year. Once they get to know you, it’s fine,” he said. “Never go near the hives if you have a bad day and are tense and never go when it is dark,” he added with a grin. “They know and react.” Parr admits he was more nervous about attending Grand Champions Day at the Royal in Toronto. He had borrowed an observation hive from Liz Corbett who owns Twin Sisters Hive & Honey Products in Stirling. “We got real sunflowers from Caroline’s Organics in Campbellford and 25 loaves of baguettes from Dooher’s and we used them with samples of our honey,” he noted. It was a day of talking to other beekeepers and hearing the comment from seasoned professionals such as, “Do you know how long it takes to achieve this?” His mom Janis Parr, who has a tea room for friends, is already selling the winning honey. “I always liked honey,” said Parr with a big grin. “One of the most import things I learned is if you take care of the bees they’ll take care of you.”

land and take day trips throughout the archipelago. The Galapagos Islands were far different than visiting the island paradises that I’ve visited in the Caribbean, for this destination can be both brutally rugged and breathtaking. I also found it to be both unique and extraordinary.

The Good Earth: Books as gardening gifts
What sort of gardening books do gardeners want to read? The answer is quite simple, all of them. If you, Gentle Reader, are purchasing for another gardener then there isn’t too much of a challenge. Simply find the one in your library that you most enjoy, either for entertaining reading or for practical knowledge, and purchase another copy for your giftee. It doesn’t have to be the newest book on the market or
the glossiest or the one with the most pictures; in fact, a well-used copy is likely to be appreciated equally well. If your friend is a new gardener and has yet to acquire a library you might give them two gifts. The first would be, in my opinion, the best and most comprehensive gardening book for us Canadians: Practical Guide to Gardening in Canada published by Readers Digest. Except for the new-

est cultivars, there is very little that this weighty tome doesn’t cover. The drawings are clear and easily understood as is the writing, crisp and to the point. The second gift would be a list of the books in your library with a little rating by them. Are they useful? Are they appropriate to our climate? Do the cultural practices and interventions recommended comply with our laws? Did the “entertainment” ones amuse you? As we seasoned hortulans well know, it is surprisingly difficult to pass by a book table at a garden show without taking one of the offerings home. And, as we well-seasoned hortulans know, money spent on books can quickly add up. I just did a quick count of the books I have near my desk, 128, and that would a medium-sized collection for many gardeners. What is very encouraging is that almost one-third of them are Canadian. GR, we have some excellent writers in our country that we should be seeking out and promoting; Art Drysdale, Mark Cullen, Lorraine Johnson, Alison Beck, Donna Dawson, and Doug Green to name a few. Now, after saying that, I believe two of the most important books I have are from an American, a Californian at that, by the name of Thomas Leo Ogren. Sex in the Garden and Allergy-fighting Garden both focus on the correlation between respiratory and allergy troubles and the over-use of “clean” male (pollen producing) cultivars in cityscapes. Tom has developed
a rating system (OPAL) which I use when selecting cultivars for a design. I would like to see the latter book in the working libraries of landscape architects. I have a few go-to reference books that most serious gardeners will also have in their library. Dirr’s of Woody Landscape Plants is the most used. Farrar’s in Canada is the second. You can check the archives of this paper for book reviews. I also have text books that are very difficult to read but they can help me outline a problem and that, in turn, will direct me to the proper expert. I have five books here that I think some readers will enjoy. If you’re interested in the development of one of Canada’s well-known nurseries, Sheridan has published a history of their company to celebrate their 100th anniversary. Ehrenfried Kluckert’s European Garden Design from Classical to Present Day (English translation from original German edition) is a fascinating treatise which traces the history and development of landscape design. When was the last time you read about the Portuguese Baroque period? The photographs are beautiful. Aphid in My Eye, Tom Powell’s story of his and his wife Betty in the orchid business is poignant, witty, elegant and 100 per cent true. Perhaps the most eclectic selection in my library is Hand to Earth, a photographic essay of the landscape sculptor Andy Goldsworthy. His art, created from nature, returns to its
Dan Clost original state through weathering, melting, and decay. This was a gift from daughter Ellyn way back in 2007 and I still find myself picking it up from time to time- in the same manner that I re-visit books about the Group of Seven. <www.abramsbooks.com>. The fifth book is a wee tome entitled Take Time, Reflections for Gentle Reader. It is a selected anthology of The Good Earth gardening columns that presents practical information, observations and even some philosophical musing in easy to read chapters. As the author, I confess I am partial to it and would be pleased to chat with anyone who would like to purchase a copy.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Fear of single male refugees unfounded
Dear editor My husband and I have been involved with refugees and new immigrants for our whole married life. In Guelph Vietnamese refugees lived with us for two months, this was followed by a Salvadorian refugee who stayed with us for six weeks. Then came the Kosovo refugees and involvement with the Interfaith Refugee Sponsorship Committee who sponsored and helped families from Ethiopia, DR Congo and Colombia. We recently returned from visiting family in Belgium and had the opportunity to enter a military compound in Sijsele close to Bruges. More than 450 Muslim refugees are housed there. Among the 20 who spoke English and wanted to talk to us there was a young couple expecting their first baby. The rest were men.
All were well educated but 90 per cent were fathers with 1 to 4 children who left the refugee camp and their wife and children behind as after 3 to 4 years in a refugee camp they felt they had to do something than just wait. These men, well educated, took a chance by leaving the camp and their UNHCR number. This is to say that most of the fear of ’single’ men is mostly unfounded. We do believe that families with children are a priority and young children entering the school system are more adaptable and have proven over the years to make good Canadian citizens. The group we talked to is part of a peace project, have a band, and do volunteer work. We look forward to help where help is needed.

A year of accomplishments for Quinte Conservation By Jack Evans It’s been a busy year for the region’s natural resources conservation body. Terry Murphy, general manager of Quinte Conservation, reviewed a year of signicant accomplishments as the authority board met for the last time this year Thursday. The list included completion of capital projects, successful power generat-
ing revenues and public education. Capital expenditures included new aluminum floats for the ice control dams at Belleville to replace original cedar logs which are becoming soggy and unworkable, completion of an accessible trail at the Quinte Conservation area’s Potter Creek property on Highway 2, additional funding for the agency’s work for Bay of Quinte Remedial Action program and com-
pletion of a special marsh remediation project on Big Island. The meeting also heard a presentation from Amy Dickens on GIS (geographic information systems) which harness computer program apps to allow not only placement of any specific area, but its geophysical features such as height, water courses etc. Application of such apps on maps is becoming an international

Each League member will be making homemade mac and cheese and selling bowls of the delicious meal. The money raised will go to The Salvation Army’s kettle drive which is now underway. “Rebekah Leach, this year’s Salvation Army kettle campaign coordinator was saying that our event last year raised almost half the money brought in from
their total kettle campaign,” said Woods. On Wednesday, Dec. 2, there will be a challenge called “Stack the Mac” and students are being asked to bring in nonperishable food items and gently-used clothing. “Whoever brings in the most wins prizes,” said Woods. This year the Cold Hands Warm Hearts event will take place on Thursday, Dec. 3 from 3:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. in the parkette on the corner of Bridge Street East and Front Street in Campbellford. Students will be there accepting donations.

As sAntA’s newest helper, I wAnt to gIve you $500 cAsh rebAte to spend however you lIke… Dear Homeowner, It’s true! I’ve just received word from the North Pole that I’ve offcially been named one of Santa’s Helpers. With this special assignment comes the power for me to do something very special for you…. From now until December 31st, I am going to give you an immediate $500 cash rebate* on any new furnace you buy from me. This is cash you can use to pay for holiday gifts, travel, -- whatever you like. Think about this. If your gas furnace is 12 years old or older – even if it’s still running—you’re probably heating and cooling your home on borrowed time and paying more for utilities than you need to. But at this time of year, who really wants to think about a new furnace and air conditioner, right? That’s why I’m pleased Santa has asked for my help. In addition to the $500 instant cash-in-your-pocket rebate*, and here’s what we can now offer you: • Up to $1,000 off the regular list price of a top quality package • $0 down, 0% APR interest, 0 payments for 90 days.* • Plus, up to $650** in rebates available through Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) for Energy Star qualifying equipment Call 613-392-6852 right now to make an appointment for your no-cost, no obligation needs analysis and replacement estimate. The sooner you call, the sooner I’ll hand you that $500* you can use any way you want as an early present from Santa. And here’s one more thing Santa asked me to do.
613-392-6852 Coupon must be presented at time of purchase. Cannot be combined with others. Valid until January 31, 2016. One coupon per household. No cash value. Q1214

When you’re one of the first 50 homeowners to call 613-392-6852 to set up a free furnace estimate, my Home Comfort Advisor will bring you a $10 gift certificate for Tim Horton’s. So, if your gas furnace is 12 years old or older, don’t let buying holiday gifts keep you from buying the furnace you need to keep your family warm this winter. Why wait???? If you’re concerned your furnace won’t make it through the winter and you’d like to reduce your utility bills, now is the time to act and get $500 cash and enjoy lunch at Tim Horton’s on us. Just call me Santa’s Helper and call me today at 613-392-6852. Happy Holidays!
