New Life Girls Home celebrates 25 years
By Kate Everson
News - Consecon - Under the huge weeping willows, by the cool breezes of Weller’s Bay, the New Life Girls Home has spent 25 years helping young women cope with life. “We help them with various issues,” said executive director Charmaine Kofler. The women from ages 18 to 30 years from all across Canada and the United States live in the white house on the bay for the 13-month program. They share rooms upstairs and eat and work together, dealing with their own unique problems which could include eating disorders, addictions, self-harm, anxiety or extreme stress. “We have a holistic approach; body, mind and spirit,” says discipleship co-ordinator Linda Adams. “We are a Christian based program but we know that the physical is also important. We go for walks or to the gym. We don’t just look at one side.”

so everything works out in the end,” said Belleville Agricultural Society first vice-president Mitch Panciuk. “It’s the 192nd running of the Quinte Ex, and like many years we had some tremendous repeat activities.” Kicking off on Thursday, August 29, the 192nd running of the Ex featured a bevy of activities for both young and old, ranging from the annual livestock
shows to horse shows, live music, truck and tractor pulls, a home show, and of course the eagerly anticipated demolition derby on both Friday and Sunday nights. Panciuk said that while attendance numbers are still unknown, based on the crowds he thinks attendance was similar to 2012.
