Campellford pot gear shop owner will fight to remain in business

OVER 60 YEARS EXPERIENCE

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — CannaDaze owner Wayne Matheson is not happy about the way the provincial government is rolling out legalization of the sale of recreational cannabis. Matheson called legalization “an industry takeover ... I put it out there that it is like a mafia style industry takeover. The only difference is they will lock us up instead of shooting us.” When Matheson, of Norwood, opened his storefront in Campbellford in May 2016, he brought his online business to the street as a walk-in experience. “The storefront carries everything but the plant; this includes everything from seeds to pipes, containers to growing supplies, such as lights.” Matheson might now be facing a new challenge. It has been reported by CBC that the owner of one head shop — a retail outlet specializing in paraphernalia used for consumption of cannabis and tobacco — in London is worried the province will sell bongs and pipes, as well as marijuana. Head shops began as shops specializing in selling the paraphernalia, just as Matheson is doing. According to the CBC story, “As part of the Wednesday announcement, Attorney General Yasir Naqvi said the Ontario government would sell and distribute marijuana — along with pot ‘accessories’ — through a subsidiary of the Liquor Control

Board of Ontario.” CBC reported that the information was confirmed by Scott Blodgett, a spokesperson for the Ontario Ministry of Finance, in an email to CBC News. Matheson responded, “When (Prime Minister Justin) Trudeau announced this, he wanted the current industry working with the new industry. As owner of a head shop, I as-

sumed I would be able to get into the retail of cannabis.” Now, that is under threat. “If (Premier) Kathleen Wynne is going to take that way, I am disabled and will have to go back to being disabled (and living off that income).” He added, “I will support any class action, but I can’t sit in courtrooms.” Closing is a real possibility for Matheson, but he said he won’t go

down without a fight. “If they shut down my store, I have been thinking about becoming a centre that does weekly talks for people, showing them the steps of growing cannabis. I will bring in presses and rent out trimming machines. I won’t close. I will change direction.” He concluded, “Until I get told any different, it will be business as usual.”

Medical marijuana user opposes LCBO-run cannabis shops BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — Stores run by the LCBO selling recreational marijuana is not what many in the cannabis community were hoping for, according to local user Al Graham. The Cannabis Act tabled by Attorney General Yasir Naqvi is a bill to prepare Ontario for the federal legalization of recreational marijuana July 1, 2018. That bill sets the stage for 150 standalone LCBO-run shops by 2020. According to the attorney general’s office, “Ontario's proposed Cannabis Act, 2017 would support the province's safe and sensible transition to the federal legalization of cannabis.” But that is not what Graham envisioned. He is a longtime cannabis advocate who has been dealing with Crohn’s disease for more than 10 years and uses medical marijuana to get through each day. “The cannabis community wanted a fair and open market that allowed for small or craft businesses not a monopoly,” he told the Trent Hills News. “The underground cannabis market is a multibillion dollar

business that has the experience that governments and law enforcement don’t have.” Graham, a spokesperson for PACE (People Advocating Cannabis Education) has been waiting for the legalization for years but he had hoped for a model such as is the case with locally owned Church Key Brewery, a small craft brewer. “I’m not surprised by the way this is being imposed as it’s a repeat of the end of alcohol prohibition. I call it a 1930 solution for a 2017 issue.” Graham said, “It’s good that it’s not sold in conjunction with alcohol.” He also has plenty of questions about the decisions being made by the government. “The 150 locations to be opened by 2020 aren’t much more than what served Toronto before the raids started. If that many could serve Toronto how does the province expect it to serve a province?” he asked. He wonders about the training of those selling cannabis, if they will be learning about the product as a whole and its medical benefits, “or will it be propaganda?” Graham believes dispensa-

ries, “will keep operating under the radar” and asked, “Why not bring these businesses into the legal system thus saving money,” reiterating, “They have the experience and knowledge.” In terms of his own situation, Graham said his medical license to grow cannabis, a four plant limit, for his own consumption, will not be affected. “The government lost that battle to stop medical users from growing for themselves in the courts.” Graham expects some of the laws being introduced to be defeated in court. “It’s a start but it needs much work.”

Al Graham, of Campbellford, a spokesperson for People Advocating Cannabis Education, said the cannabis community wants a fair an open market that allows for small or craft business, not a monopoly. Sue Dickens/Metroland

Marj Brady of Amazing Graze Alpacas holds up a basket of loose alpaca fibre on Saturday, Nov. 4, during the first of two Fall Fibre Fun days at her farm. The next one is Saturday, Nov. 11. Terry McNamee/Metroland

ness for many years now. “We bought our first alpacas in 2003,” she said. “We showed quite a bit. We did quite well in the show ring.” She said alpaca products are becoming more popular all the time. “The people that are exposed to it have a great appreciation for it,” she said. In addition to selling fibre products, Amazing Graze also has several males (called machos or studs) available for breeding and offers alpacas for sale. Even the manure is sold. Brady said gardeners really like the manure be-

cause it can be used immediately, unlike other kinds of manure which have to age before they can be used as fertilizer. In addition to the next Fall Fibre Fun on Nov. 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the farm will be open to the public Dec. 9 and 16 for Criamas Craziness. Come and meet the crias (young alpacas) and learn more about these unusual animals from the Andes of Peru. The farm is located at 127 Sine Rd. in Stirling.

Perfect pie contest winner Nourish Havelock’s harvest BY SUE DICKENS

Warkworth — The 38th annual perfect pie contest was a mouth-watering success with social media playing a role in heating up the competition even before it started, as participants posted photographs of their creations on Facebook. “It was a good day, there was a good crowd,” said organizer Pat McLellan of the Warkworth Chapter 279 Order of the Eastern Star (OES). The event on Saturday, Nov. 4, was also a time for tributes to those with ties to the community who died this year. “This year we dedicated our contest to mayor Hector Macmillan; Jim Nelson (an auctioneer from Brighton); and Dave Down (who worked at the local feed mill, participated in the W8 Hospice run and more),” she said. “Trent Hills Coun. Catharine Redden, Dave’s sister, brought greetings from the municipality,” said McLellan. There were 115 entries this year and 14 categories for young and older folks. “It was a packed house,” she added with visitors from not only the local area but Quebec, Toronto, Thailand and North Carolina. The winner of the perfect pie category was one of Warkworth’s own, Ella Belton, with a chicken, leek and mushroom pie. When the winning pies were auctioned off, her pie brought in $165. This year the money raised is being donated to the Bridge Hospice and CHAMP (the Child Amputee Program). The rest will be donated the Eastern Star Chapter’s other charities. Heather Clarke won four categories: fruit, apple, pumpkin and meringue topped.

The other winners are: maple syrup — Heather Aide; filled — Lorraine Telford; savoury — Ella Belton with the perfect pie; seniors 65 and older — Jacqueline Beamish; junior apple — Abby Francis, age six; men’s open — Jason Butler; pecan — Barbara Yatsula; Warkworth OES — Barbara Trotter; youth, 13 to 18 — James Lewington; local ingredients — Charlotte Francis. Plans for the 39th annual perfect pie contest are already underway and it will be held Nov. 3, 2018.

OPINION

B-Sens bring pro sports to region

Why China won’t budge on North Korea Over the next few days, Donald Trump will be visiting the leaders of Japan, South Korea and China, and the same topic will dominate all three conversations: North Korea. Japan’s Prime MinShinzo Abe and Gwynne Dyer ister South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in will be looking for reassurance that the United States will protect them from North Korea’s nuclear weapons, but in Beijing Trump will be the supplicant. The American president will be asking President Xi Jinping to do something, anything, to make North Korea to stop testing nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles. Trump has painted himself into a corner with his tongue, but even he knows (or at least has been told many times by his military advisers) that there is no military solution to this problem that does not involve a major war, and probably a local nuclear war. Trump promised that North Korea would never be able to strike the United States with nuclear weapons, and the reality is that it will get there quite soon (if it is not already there). The United States has no leverage over North Korea except the threat of war, so he needs China to get him off the hook. China has lots of leverage: 90 percent of North Korea’s imports come in through China, and most of its foreign exchange comes from selling things to China. Beijing could leave the North Korean population freezing and starving in the dark if it chose – but it won’t do that. Xi Jinping may throw Donald Trump a couple of smallish fish – a ban on the sale of blow-dryers and chain-saws to North Korea, perhaps – but he won’t do anything that actually threatens the survival of the North Korean regime. Yet he knows that nothing less will sway Kim Jong-un, because the North Korean leader sees his nukes and ICBMs as essential to the survival of the regime. Xi Jinping does not love Kim, and he definitely doesn’t like what he has been doing with the nuclear and missile tests. Kim has even purged the senior people in the North Korean hierarchy who were closest to China, and Beijing still puts up with his behaviour. Why? Because the survival of Communist rule in North Korea is seen in Beijing as vital – not vital to China as a whole, but to the continu-

ation of Communist rule in China. That may sound weird, but look at it from the point of view of China’s current rulers. Almost all the world’s ruling Communist parties have been overthrown in in the past quarter-century. What’s left, apart from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is just a few odds and ends: North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam and Laos. And the CCP’s highest priority is not “making China great again” or building a blue-water navy or whatever; it is protecting the power of the Party. The Chinese leadership cares about those things too, but everything is always seen through the prism of “Will it strengthen the Party’s rule?” Seen through that prism, the collapse of the North Korean Communist regime is a potentially mortal threat to the CCP as well. Beijing doesn’t stay awake at night worrying that a reunited Korea would bring American troops right up to the Chinese border either. It’s actually more likely that US troops would eventually leave a reunified Korea. After all, nobody in Korea worries about a Chinese attack, so why would the US troops stay? What truly frightens the men in charge in China is seeing another Communist regime go down. They were terrified by the collapse of the Soviet regime in 1989-91, and they blame it on the weakness and willingness to compromise of the Soviet Communist Party. For all their power and all their achievements, they see themselves as standing with their backs to a cliff. One step backward, one show of weakness, and they could be over the edge and in free-fall. Letting Kim Jong-un fall, however much they dislike him, might unleash the whirlwind at home. That is probably not true, but it has been the view of the dominant group in the Chinese Communist Party ever since the Soviet Union fell. They will not push Kim too hard no matter what the cost. And the US Joint Chiefs of Staff have just told Congress that there is no way the US can eliminate North Korea’s nuclear weapons without a full-scale land invasion. Conclusion? No matter what the various players say now, in the end North Korea will get to keep a modest nuclear deterrent force, but it will have to agree to keep it small enough that it could not possibly launch a successful first strike. Not that it could even remotely afford to build a force big enough to do that anyway. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Editorial by Chris Malette This ain’t your mom and dad’s Bulls. Sure, there were some exciting years when major junior hockey in the form of the OHL Belleville Bulls were the biggest draw in this area in terms of top-flight hockey entertainment. But, those days are long gone with seeing the last of reviled former team owner Gord Simmonds heading south with the team. Today, there’s an exciting brand of hockey on the ice, a palpable buzz in the air and there’s no reason fans of sharp, crisp passing, smart playmaking and superb goaltending (most nights) shouldn’t be driving into Belleville from Norwood, North Hastings, Brighton and Cobourg, Prince Edward County and beyond to take in a game or six. Folks, this is as close as you’re going to get to see professional hockey – good hockey from players hungry to make it to ‘the show’ – without shelling out obscene amounts of cash to take one in at the ACC in Toronto, the Bell Centre in Montreal or even the Sens’ parent club in that forlorn suburban barn in Kanata. Last week, the Ottawa Sentarors and Belleville Senators pulled out all the stops to make sure we all knew there was a new, hotter, betterlooking kid in town and that kid is the B-Sens. Prior to an evening of firsts, when fans packed to the rafters the $20-million retrofitted Yardmen Arena, parent club Sens owner Eugene Melnyk told reporters he believes the Belleville Senators will be here “for life.” The owner of the new American Hockey League franchise was pressing the flesh throughout the rejuvenated Yard Barn last Wednesday and was mostly welcomed with open arms and wide smiles. “We’re going to have hockey here way beyond when I’m around,” Melnyk said, during the press conference. He later told a scrum of reporters: “It’s going to be here for life.” We’ll see on that last bit, but Wesdnsday, Nov. 1 was a celebration on and off the ice. Already, the Sens have sold about 2,300 season tickets — a positive sign for the franchise which plays in a 4,400-seat venue. If walk-up crowds of more than 1,000 come each night, Melnyk said he believes the team will be in good shape. Adam Bignell, who played all or parts of five seasons with the OHL Bulls, made a dramatic appearance last Wednesday at centre ice in the first intermission of the first Senators’ game at the Yardmen Arena. Bignell picked up a Senators jersey that had been placed at the centre dot

and pulled it on to roars of the crowd who saw the symbolism in the gesture. It was an emotional gesture because Bignell is best remembered for laying a Bulls jersey at centre ice in a spontaneous, emotional gesture after the team was eliminated from the 2015 Ontario Hockey League playoffs – the last game the Bulls played in Belleville. A crowd of 3,194 fans who had packed the Yardmen Arena on April 2, 2015, were standing in stunned silence after the players had left the ice, the Barrie Colts having won 4-2 to cap a four-game sweep of the Bulls in an OHL firstround playoff series. That’s when Bignell, then the team’s assistant captain, emerged from the dressing room to lay his jersey on centre ice; a move that drew heartfelt applause from fans and outright sobs from diehard Bulls supporters. Opening ceremonies were moving, too. A video played on the new scoreboard, to the tune of Phillip Phillips’ song, “Home,” showing clips of the final moments of Bulls history and scenes of everyday Bay of Quinte residents flying Sens colours and getting ready for the new season. The arena where the Sens practise and play looks every bit the part of a snazzily revamped forum for pro hockey – replete with eight private boxes, 800 new seats, dressing rooms described as rivalling that of any pro sports team – for the Sens at least; beer leaguers are complaining the old rooms are still drab caves – a cool standing/pub table style viewing lounge across the expanse of the south end of the rink and, of course, the ‘product’ on the ice. The play is pro-level fast, the players themselves – while not household names by any stretch – are talented, big and not afraid to mix it up. Ask the Stevenson family, five or six of whom travelled from Trent Hills on opening night to be part of the action and take in the game. (Sorry Stevensons, our photographer’s camera malfunctioned, or you’d be gracing these pages today.) That’s the kind of fan base the Sens hope – and deserve, it says here – to draw if this franchise is to be viable and popular. At ticket prices ranging from $26.25 for the best seats to $22.50 for the cheap seats, this is hockey you ought to see if you’re a fan of the game. It really is that good and this region, starved for major junior or better hockey, needs to get behind it.

Madoc Public School makes a truckload of difference BY TAYLOR BERTELINK

Madoc — Students from Madoc Public School hope to scare away hunger from their community through the WE Scare Hunger campaign by collecting food items for their local food bank. A grand total of 1,477.9 pounds of food was donated recently — the majority by Madoc Public School students, as well as some donations from the community. The WE Scare Hunger campaign is a WE initiative, in partnership with Ford dealerships across Canada; it runs for the month of October, collecting food donations for local food banks. For the past two years, Doug Hunter Ford Sales has participated in the ini-

tiative. “Madoc Public School has come on board with us to collect food for our local food bank. It’s a good program, because it all stays local — I know our food bank is busy and in large demand,” explained Sherry MacMillan, organizer of the initiative and parts manager for Doug Hunter Ford Sales in Madoc. WE Scare Hunger believes that hunger plus a food drive equals impact. The initiative encourages the community to come together to collect food and raise awareness of the root causes of hunger. “I think Madoc is such a small community. So, to really put forth that there are some people in the community that don’t have as much as we might, it’s important that we come together as a

school and as a community to scare away hunger from Madoc,” said Julie Kimball, a teacher at Madoc Public School. Doug Hunter Ford Sales offered the top two classes with the most donations a pizza party in return for their efforts. “It of course became a competition that started with the teachers competing against each other and then the students jumping on board — it was fun,” laughed Kimball. Last year’s WE Scare Hunger initiative raised a total of approximately 800 pounds of goods. MacMillan said she hopes to contin- Employees of Doug Hunter Ford Sales, teachers from Madoc Public ue with the event in the future, collect- School and students involved with the collection and organization of ing more and more food with each year. donated goods, gathered outside Madoc Public School on Friday.

The centre is open but it was only a “soft” opening. Her role also includes running the day-to-day operation of the tourism of-

fice and helping visitors who drop in for information. “I am here to help anyone who walks in to tell them about the area and provide maps, if that is what they are looking for. We have a stock of maps here,” she said. As well Bennett is kept busy making sure that the website is up-to-date and the Facebook page is kept active. “Social media is a big part of what we do. I have been trying to include any events in the area on our Facebook page,” Bennett commented. Bennett noted her responsibilities also include providing support for grant applications.“ Whenever there are grant opportunities I try to make organizations aware of them to access funds. They are mostly provincial grants,” she explained. As well as the

Norwood — The chief administrative officer of the Peterborough Clinic has been honoured by her high school alma mater. Andrea Cromie was inducted into the Norwood District High School (NDHS) hall of honour on Nov. 3, during the school’s commencement exercise, joining the illustrious group of graduates that have been recognized since 1990 for their achievements and contributions at home and around the world. It was a sweet homecoming for Cromie, a 1990 NDHS graduate and former senior director of finance for Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, as well as former director of finance for Teranet Inc. — among other positions she’s held since graduating from Brock University with an ac-

counting degree in 1995, along with additional chartered professional accountant (CPA), chartered accountant (CA) and chartered financial analyst (CFA) designations. “It was really nice to come back; there’s lots of nostalgia and it’s nice to see the school in fabulous form and still driving,” Cromie said after the ceremony. She shared the moment with her husband Fred — also an NDHS grad — her two sons and family members, and was delighted to watch her niece Melanie graduate and receive awards. Cromie said it was a “fantastic feeling” stepping into the school for the first time since graduation night 27 years ago. Having the opportunity to speak to the class of 2017 was a profound privilege, she said. “I am grateful for the op-

portunity to speak to a group of graduates and to have some impact on the optimism and excitement that their future holds for them. Throughout my career, one of the things I’ve always sought out was hearing people’s careers and what their path was. I learn from them.” Cromie said she’s “always happy” to share her own pathway with graduates and employees, “so they can think about what that means to them. “It’s very exciting to reflect on all of that.” Her speech was a powerful reminder that neither the size of a school nor where it’s located determines a person’s ability to succeed in their chosen field. The teachers at NDHS left graduates “confident in (their) ability to learn and effectively communicate,” she said. “We left behind NDHS with the certainty we could accomplish anything.” Cromie admitted that she had “no idea” what she wanted to do when she left NDHS, but she seized opportunities, listened to mentors and used the foundational tools she acquired in high school to chart her own destiny. She encouraged graduates to be “empathetic, to be ethical when nobody is watching and to be respectful of people, not because of who they are, but because of who you are.” “Hold yourself to your own standards and don’t judge yourself by what other people think is just good enough.”

Bazaar season is underway Stirling Festival Theatre's latest panto opens Nov. 24 in Stirling BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling — Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf ? Not Little Red, who is ready to do whatever it takes to keep her forest home safe during the Stirling Festival Theatre's newest holiday pantomime. This year's panto is written and directed by Ken MacDougall, the theatre's new artistic director. While new to this position, MacDougall has been involved with the SFT for years, and the annual panto has been one of his favourite events. This year is no exception, as he has thrown himself wholeheartedly into the creation of Little Red. “I'm treating it like a sequel to Little Red Riding Hood,” he said. And this older Little Red is one tough cookie. “It's fairy tale meets Wonder Woman,” he said, adding that this Red has some martial arts skills. Little Red is played by Stefanie Mercedes, who was in last Fancy a cuppa? Tina Barsony of Stirling was selling pretty china teacups at her table dur- year's panto. ing the annual Christmas bazaar at St. James the Minor Catholic Church in Stirling on Meanwhile, Big Bad Wolf Saturday, Nov. 4. has tried to change his image, Terry McNamee/Metroland rebranding himself as blues singer BB Wolf, hoping to fool

people into thinking he's made some lifestyle changes. He is portrayed by Daniel Abrahamson, a newcomer to the Stirling Theatre. Some of the characters have wandered into the story from other fairy tales and nursery rhymes. All except BB Wolf have “colourful” names, such as Little Boy Blue, Aunt Violet (who replaces granny) and Mr. Maple, played by J.P. Baldwin. “He's our maple syrup aficionado here on the woods,” MacDougall explained. It's traditional for every panto to have a “dame” character, always played by a man. This year, it's Aunt Violet, who is on vacation from the big city and finding that staying in the woods is a big change from her usual lifestyle. “There's actually going to be a cottage on stage,” MacDougall said. “It's quite funny and quite beautiful.” Violet is played by Sal Figliomeni, who last performed at the SFT 10 years ago. “He was Buttons in Cinderella,” MacDougall said. “It's pretty exciting to have him

back.” Dan Curtis Thompson of Foxboro will play Little Boy Blue, and Megan Poole is Jade, who runs the spa in the woods. This is Poole's fourth SFT show. Last year, she was Jack's sister Daisy in Jack and the Beanstalk. Rehearsals began on Oct. 30 and are in full swing now. As in previous years, there will actually be two versions of the show: a family-friendly version and a “naughty” version for adults. “We open Nov. 24 and run right through until Dec. 31,” MacDougall said, noting that there will be more than 40 performances during that time. He said there will be a special naughty New Year's panto at 9:30 p.m. on Dec. 31. People are urged to order their tickets as soon as possible. “It's incredibly popular,” he said. “The phone's been ringing off the hook.” For tickets and information, call the box office at 613-3952100 or go to http://www.stirlingfestivaltheatre.com/2017panto-little-red

Norwood — The Norwood District High Class of 2017 is ready for new challenges as they pursue life beyond the protective walls of the rural high school they’ve called their second home. That was something co-valedictorians Seven Wilson and Gavin Woodburn emphasized in their joint farewell speech Nov. 3. It was a night for awards, testimonials and reflection with Andrea (Guy) Cromie (Class of 1990), the chief administrative officer of the Peterborough Clinic, becoming the newest member of the NDHS Hall of Honour and Nicole Bennett receiving the school’s top academic award. Gavin, studying astrophysics at Carleton University, suggested to his classmates that if a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, as Lao Tzu said it did, then the class is “now on our second step. “Looking back now it really is a true reflection of how fast our time has gone by,” he said. “The road ahead may look scary. It will have the lowest of the lows to the highest of highs; some of us may encounter life changing events, some of us may become celebrities but we will always have our roots here at NDHS.” “Don’t be afraid to take risks; do what you think is best and never lose faith.” “We can all agree how much bigger the world is” now that they’ve left NDHS, Steven added. “High school has slowly changed and developed each of us into mature young adults,” said Steven, a business finance student at Durham College. “I am honoured to have been able to witness each of you grow into the amazing unique people you are and privileged to call you all my friends.”

Trent Hills looking at fees for developers who request extensions BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills — There's a building boom going on in Trent Hills but some developers are taking their time to get in on the action. They've asked for extensions to complete conditions set out subdivision agreements, which council has granted, but any further delay could wind up costing them money. Director of planning Jim Peters recently told council fees might be in order and “perhaps more detailed” explanations required to justify why a developer is requesting more time. “There are costs involved and we're looking to implement fees that would recoup those costs for the municipality,” he said. Also, “we want to look at some things that might help (proposed subdivisions) come on stream faster (rather) than just sitting there,” he added. Peters made his remarks in connection with two reports he prepared for council recommending it grant 18-month extensions to Zemer Holdings Ltd. and Campbellford BGS Homes, both of which had subdivision agreements approved in 2011 and have been granted multiple extensions since then. The agreement with Zemer Holdings is for 82 units to be built on Front Street West in Hastings. BGS proposes to build 19 units on Steelecrest Road in Campbellford. The fees won't be “too onerous,” Peters said. The system he plans to introduce will be “more in line with what other municipalities are doing,” which is to charge fees between $1,000 and $3,000. “It is an incentive to not put it off and to cover any review costs we have in looking at it, and saying is it still valid for us to continue to support this,” he said.

Trent Hills director of planning Jim Peters is considering charging fees to developers who request extensions to meeting conditions in subdivision agreements.

John Campbell/Metroland “Sometimes these things do take a long time,” he said, and are the result of what's happening “within the cycle of the economy.” But having a system in place to deal with agreements long in abeyance will give his department the means to “bring something back to council where we can get (them) moving forward,” Peters said.

the fourth phase of constructing Hastings Estates on Church Street in Hastings. It will have a total of 151 units when completed. Sifton Properties Limited said it will begin showing model homes at its Haven on the Trent River south of Campbellford next spring. It plans to build 166 single family dwellings. Peters said in an interview extensions typically are granted to give developers to fulfil all the conditions of the subdivision, such as providing plans for storm water management and the installation of services (hydro and natural gas, for example). Once all the conditions are met, there is no deadline for development to take place on the vacant lots. They “might sit there for five or six years,” Peters said, and “then all of a sudden ... (the development) gets finished.” Condominiums were approved for development on Pond Street back in the 1980s but the project never got off the ground. “We don't know what's going to happen on that land but it's still got ... development potential,” Peters said. “It's zoned for multi-residential use. It's just a matter of somebody bringing forward a plan.” A plan had been approved for 75 single family homes to be built on Water Street in Hastings but the approval lapsed. The property has a new owner who is “restarting the approval process” but wants to increase the number of units to 100 and include some semidetached homes, Peters said. “There's lots of activity,” going on in Trent Hills, he said. It hasn't scared off other developers, “it's really

It would allow the municipality to suggest to a developer that it's possible “the plan you created is not as marketable as you thought, maybe you should look at changing it.” Trent Hills has numerous other developments on the books, a handful of them for more than 100 units. drawn more.” Batavia Homes is the furthest along, and is now in

Campellford — A collaborative plan to put e-health at the forefront is moving forward in the Central East LHIN, but as Campbellford Memorial Hospital CEO Varouj Eskedjian told the board: “It will have a huge price tag.” “Seven acute care hospitals in the Central East LHIN have decided to go out and procure a common clinical information system,” that will be on one database, he said. “A major clinical transformation, that’s what this project will be ultimately be, rather than a pure IT project.” This means that staff and physicians will be doing business in a different way. He noted that the cost of all of this will be forthcoming as the requests for proposals for information assistance go out. Campbellford hospital board Chair Valerie Przybilla noted: “There is a clear message from the minister that there are zero dollars attached to this.” Eskedjian added: “The ministry has never funded hospital information systems.” This policy goes back to the 1980s when hospitals started to acquire these systems. “I think it’s sad the provincial government values drivers' transcripts and records more than medical records. Any police can access licenses, find out if you have insurance or if you have points or not (on their database system), but whether you have the proper medi-

cation at the hospital ... well, I guess your health and your life is not as important," said Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation Board member Bruce Thompson. Eskedjian responded by saying: “I wouldn’t portray it that way ... there are a number of provincial assets, data info systems across the province and all the hospitals are connected with what is called the smart systems for health so our network infrastructure is actually supported by the government of Ontario.” “I think people very quickly say the government had a boondoggle with respect to information systems like e-health but they don’t really appreciate the amount of work that has been done to set up the provincial asset." Eskedjian also pointed out that “the things we have recently started doing, all of our information on patients that are now electronic are now being fed into what is called collection Ontario, which means every hospital in the GTA has access to our patient information and we have access to theirs online as well. "This means that any individual from Campbellford, Trent Hills who goes to Toronto and ends up in an emergency department there, the physician can access the patient information had they visited Campbellford Memorial at some point.”

Couple celebrates 70 years Campbellford high school student excels at celebration of excellence BY JOHN CAMPBELL

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — Celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary in St. Andrew’s United Church — the same church where they were married — Theresa and John Davidson began their day attending Sunday service together on Nov. 5. A special dinner for family and friends was held after in the church hall, which was set up for 90 guests, but with 40 great-grandchildren, eight great-great-grandchildren and 10 grandchildren among them, family dominated the event. “We had a picture taken last Christmas, there were 18 grandchildren then ... well, more than that,” said Theresa with a grin. Having a large family makes it difficult sometimes to keep track. Two weeks ago another great-granddaughter was born, Amaya Toye, who was at the 70th anniversary celebration surrounded by family. It was only last year that they all celebrated John’s 100th birthday at their church, with family and friends.

The couple has four children; the oldest, Bill, died in his 35th year. “It was awful hard when we lost Bill,” said Theresa. “It's wonderful to see mom and dad celebrating with all of us here today,” said Gary and his brothers agreed. “All my boys are married with their own families,” said Theresa with a big smile as she watched the church hall fill up with her kin. “I was born in Hastings County and went to Madoc Public School,” she explained. “John was a thresherman for my dad. That’s how we met. He thrashed for 83 years,” she added. “We grew up farming. We had dairy and we always had our own milk, then we had beef. I liked it. I always liked the farm.” They miss that way of life, but when it was time, they made the decision to move to the nursing home in Marmora, where they live together. When asked about their longtime marriage and what it means to them, Theresa said, “We just love one another.”

Campbellford — There's nothing average about achieving an overall average of 97.75 per cent, which is what Cassidy Tizzard managed to do as a Grade 10 student. For that, she won both the Principal's Award, for being tops in her grade, and the Caughill Trophy for having the highest overall average for all grades in the school year 2016-17.

lected by the local restaurant. “It was amazing. We just couldn’t believe it,” says Community Care co-ordinator Tammy Ross. “We were overwhelmed by the response from volunteers and people from the community coming in and buying cookies.” Community care volunteers, high school students and local Tims staff were dab hands at decorating cookies. Ross says pre-order sales were outstanding and that helped boost numbers; families and groups took advantage of the pre-order to make it easier to get their cookies. The cookie decorators were up to the task, says Ross. “It was the largest ever and the most community volunteers ever,” says restaurant owner Chris Smith. “We had two volunteers here every single day of the event.” Smith agrees that pre-order convenience helped make this year’s campaign so successful. “And just the involvement from the community,” he

added. “It was great to have Community Care volunteers driving awareness of the whole program.” “It was nice to see all the support,” says Ross. “This is so labour intensive for staff and we’re so grateful they were willing to take that on. Our community definitely came out.” “I give a lot of credit to Chris and staff. They are so wonderful to the community and they recognize what Community Care does for the area,” said Community Care board member and local resident Les Morris. It was Morris who approached Smith to ask if the Smile Cookie campaign would consider Community Care. Ross says the Smile funds haven’t been earmarked; she won’t do her budget until January. “We are always looking for new volunteers.” She says they “really struggled” staffing the office during the summer.

QUICK TIPS

Today

to winterize your home (NC) We know that Canadian winters can be tough on our homes - both inside and out. Here are some time-saving tips to stay ahead of the harsh weather from specialists on this topic at Home Depot Canada:

Prep the deck Cleaning the deck’s surface, especially removing debris caught between deck boards, can save a lot of time come spring. Consider using a power washer and recommended cleaner to remove mold, mildew and grime. When the surface is clean again, seal it with a weatherproofing wood stain for lasting protection. Keep a maintained roof over your head A well-maintained roof keeps the warm air in and cold air out. Being proactive now, with repairs and maintenance, will prevent larger issues in the spring months. Remember to check and examine if there are any leaks, ventilation issues, or insulation deficiencies.

Announcement - First Monday of Each Month

Install door sweeps A door sweep takes care of air leaks at the bottom of doors common in older homes.A door sweep is easy to install with a few simple screws.. By applying weather stripping, you can save up to 20 per cent on heating and cooling bills.

. seize the.and. look as young as you feel!

Prep drains for winter Prepare for the winter run -off by adding a downspout extension to your current drainage system. Come spring, melting snow should be directed at least three to four feet away from your home’s foundation. Make sure exterior faucets have been turned off. Any water left in the pipe could freeze, forcing expensive repairs for burst pipes. Fall dust down Now is the time to thoroughly clean heating ducts, grills, registers and ceiling fans. Air filters should be replaced as least once every three months as they can become clogged, causing your system to work less efficiently and increasing operating costs. More information plus tips and tricks for wintering your home are available online at www.homedepot.ca. www.newscanada.com

SO THAT WE MAY BE FREE. For every war, there are many who bravely and proudly leave their loved ones behind to protect the freedoms that we as Canadians are afforded. It is these brave few we honour.

Belleville Senators to pay their respects

O

n November 10th and 11th, the Belleville Senators will host the Rochester Americans for the fifth and sixth games of their Inaugural Season in the American Hockey League. As much as the excitement around professional hockey in the Bay of Quinte continues to grow, these occasions provide an even greater opportunity to demonstrate our support

for the community. These dates in particular provide a tremendous backdrop to say thank you to the Armed Forces of past and present; those who have laid down their lives for us and those who continue to risk their livelihood on our behalf. As part of these games, the Belleville Senators are working closely with their partners to welcome more than 250 members of the

M a c k a y Insurance and JB Print Solutions have each graciously donated additional tickets, while Leon’s Trenton will provide their luxury suite to families of those in service. Throughout each evening, the team will honour all of these individuals, as well as those not in attendance, in numerous ways. This will include an anthem performed by Anita Halfpenny and the 8 Wing Band, ceremonial

puck drop with members from CFB Trenton, moment of silence and reveille by traditional bugle call, and video tribute from members of the Belleville Senators Hockey Club. The team asks that fans and community members join them to share in these respects. Tickets for each evening are available at www.BellevilleSens.com, via telephone at 1 (855) 985-5000 or in person at the team’s Box Office. Each game will begin at 7:00PM.


Stirling Lions hope Message in a Bottle project will save lives

Heart of Hastings Christmas Tour finishes first weekend

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling — The idea is so simple, it is amazing no one came up with it before. Following the example set by the Tweed Lions, the Stirling Lions Club is running a program called Message in a Bottle, in which a pill bottle containing a person's medical and emergency information is put in the fridge for emergency workers to find when responding to a call at a home. A sticker on the front door tells workers that there is a message bottle in the fridge. A second sticker is attached to the fridge door. Kenn Deck of the Stirling Lions said the idea was started in Tweed by Harvey Gere, and was adopted in Stirling to help local residents. “We started doing this two years ago,” Deck said. “We purchase the supplies. We distribute them to local pharmacies, and they hand them out to their patients.” He said that, since the Lions provide the supplies, there is no cost to the people who obtain bottles. “I'll bet you 80 per cent of the clients that go through the pharmacy take one,” he said. “We've distributed over 400.” The information put in the bottle can include as little or as much as the person wants. The person simply fills out the questionnaire that comes with the bottle, then puts it inside the container and leaves it in plain sight in the fridge. Stirling Lions representative Kenn Deck Some of the information typically in- shows a Message in a Bottle and the two cludes the person's name, date of birth, stickers that accompany it to tell first regender, what medical conditions the per- sponders at a home emergency that medison has, a list of medications and where cal and contact information is in the bottle they are kept, allergies, emergency con- in the fridge. tacts, the names and phone numbers of the family doctor, specialist and health Terry McNamee/Metroland care agency (when applicable) and more. “I thought that it was brilliant,” Deck “It's a fairly simple concept, and it's a said. “We've never had any person say anything bad about it. We've had won- lifesaver,” Deck said. Message in a Bottle kits are offered by derful support from the fire departLions Clubs in several other communiment.” The Message in a Bottle is ideal for ties as well. For information, check with the elderly and people with medical your local pharmacy. conditions. However, since even healthy people can suffer a medical emergency, a serious injury or a fall at home, it is suitable for everyone, and can save valuable time for first responders arriving on the scene. People interested in getting a Lions Message in a Bottle kit simply have to ask their pharmacist. Warkworth Golf Course will be holding

BY TAYLOR BERTELINK The first day of the Heart of Hastings Christmas Tour kicked off on Friday and many Tweed and Madoc businesses are happy with the turnout. “The tour has been very good so far for the first day. We’ve had mostly new customers and several from outside the community,” said Cheryl Freeman, owner of the Hidden Goldmine Bakery in Madoc. Freeman is also one of the six organizers who have helped put together this year’s Heart of Hastings Christmas Tour which will span over two weekends, Nov. 3, 4, 5, and Nov. 10, 11, 12. Many people on the tour made comments on the nicely decorated the storefronts were, the delicious foods and the fun of getting to visit new places. “For us it’s very important to be a part of the tour to build the community and try to get new people into the area — hopefully when people visit they will want to come back and it becomes a destination,” said Free-

man. Among Madoc and Marmora, Tweed businesses were also featured in this year’s tour. “It’s been a busy day — this first weekend has always been good for us and even the second week we get a lot of traffic,” said Tracey Hiltz, owner of the Unconventional Moose in Tweed. She explained that this tour is the “bread and butter” for her business for the month of November. Shoppers are encouraged to pick up a passport/ brochure and get it stamped at each stop featured. Once they have visited all 15 or more destinations their brochure gets handed in for a chance to be drawn for a grand prize. Each business has donated a gift certificate or gift basket worth $75 or more for a grand prize valued at more than $1,000.

Senior Knights march into semifinals

Loyalist Lancers women claim OCAA rugby 7s bronze medal Stirling’s Emily Reed fiercely fends off a defender from Algonquin Thunder in the OCAA bronze medal game.

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood — The Norwood District High School Knights marched into the Eastern Ontario Sixa-Side Football League semifinals making quick work of the visiting Rideau Secondary School Lions with a big-time 45-0 win on Nov. 2. The Knights scored quickly and often building up a 33-0 first half lead and cruising to the finish line. The six-a-side game is quick and the Knights used the breakaway speed of Logan Hall to pile up points on offense and the dynamic defence of Jack Wilson to convert turnovers into points. Defensive

stalwart Adam Baker was a force. The sharp two-way game of the Knights kept the Lions stalled for large chunks of the game. Hall scored four touchdowns with Wilson adding a pair. Owen Hubert had one TD and a twopoint conversion. Baker blocked one punt and Wilson picked off two passes. Derrick Reynolds had two quarterback sacks. The Knights face the St. Mary’s Thunder of Cobourg Nov. 9 in the league semifinals. The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders defeated the Campbellford District Flames in another quarterfinal game and face the Carleton Place Bears to round out the semifinals.

Peterborough - For the first time in Loyalist Lancer history, the women’s rugby team has earned an OCAA medal. After a season in which they finished in fifth place in OCAA standings, the Lancers earned a spot in the 2017 OCAA Provincial Championships at Fleming College on Nov. 4. Prior to the day’s finals action, the OCAA held an awards banquet Friday, Nov. 3, at which Lancers Kierstyn Bennett and Rachelle Malette were named to the OCAA all star team for the season. First game Saturday saw the Lancers up against the Algonquin Thunder, where they were downed 20-0 to start the day. First year Lancer Bailey Meraw was named player of the game for Loyalist.

ily Reed was named the Lancers’ player of the game. For the bronze medal final, it was a rematch from the morning’s opener, as the Lancers faced the Algonquin Thunder in what turned out to be a thriller. Bennett, Reed & Meraw crossed the try line for the Lancers with a try from each, putting the Lancers over the top to finish at 1510 Rachelle Malette was named player of the game for the bronze medal match and Bailey Meraw was named a tournament all star, as was Bennett. Coaches Ken Fitzgerald and Jo-Anne Robinson had high praise for their charges. “This team was mighty in spirit and determination,” said Fitzgerald, “despite being among the smallest in numbers and stature across the league. They defeated some powerhouse sides to reach this level and I can’t say enough about their grit and determination to stand out as one of the best in Ontario collegiate rugby.”


International Games Day held at Madoc library

13 unlucky number for the Rebels – as are many others this season

BY TAYLOR BERTELINK

Madoc – A day of board and video games — what more could kids want? On Saturday Nov. 4, the Madoc Public Library participated in their third International Games Day, inviting kids, parents and the community for a day of fun. More than 2,000 libraries across the world participate in the international event that promotes socialization, community, and fun through activities like board and video games. “We love to encourage the socialization aspect and the sense of community that comes from playing games together. It’s kind of lost from the video games that kids play now — you're in a community and talking with other people but it’s at a distance, so today we bringing people together,” said Tammie Adams-Wagner, organizer of the event at the Madoc Public Library. Participants were able to access a wide assortment of board games for each age range and ability range. “On average, 50 people come to the event throughout the day — kids as young as four, right up to adults, who also enjoy the games participate,” said Adams-Wagner. The most popular digital game played by the kids was Minecraft on the Xbox. There was also retro games such as the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), super NES and even Rock Band were set up for people to enjoy. “It’s a sneaky way for librarians to en-

Taylor Bertelink/Metroland courage reading as well because whether it be a board or video game, the kids are reading while they do it. There is always some aspect of literacy and that’s the really neat thing about this event — it’s encouraging learning through play,” said Adams-Wagner. Twelve-year-old Ian Allaby has participated in the International Games Day at the Madoc Public Library for all three years. “I like that I am able to play both the older board games and the newer video

games — the competitiveness is fun too,” he said. “I think it’s about getting to know your community. When the kids get together and play they leave having a bit more sense in knowing each other,” explained Adams-Wagner. She said that the event has had a great response from the kids. “People really enjoy it — some of the kids are asking after the first one when the next one will be for the next year,” she said.

Shootout win highlight Sens’ first home week BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – Gabriel Gagne gave Belleville a winning night in the return of hockey to the Yardmen Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 1. Gagne (whose name translates to “win” in English) scored the shootout winner to give the Belleville Senators a 4-3 win over the Syracuse Crunch in Belleville’s American Hockey League home debut. The goal was the lone goal of the three-round shootout. When Sens goalie Andrew Hammond turned away Syracuse’s Cory Conacher on the next shot, the sold out crowd of about 4,400 went into a frenzy.

The win completed a night of celebration in a game that marked the return of high-level hockey to Belleville, two and a half years after the Ontario Hockey League’s Belleville Bulls played their last game. “It was awesome,” said Gagne, following the game. “The fans were good. They were into the game.” Sens coach Kurt Kleinendorst said nearly the same thing. “It was a great night. The production was great. The fans were great.” The momentum didn’t last courtesy of the Charlotte Checkers, who beat Belleville 6-1 on Friday, Nov. 3 and 2-1 on Saturday, Nov. 4.

Campbellford – At this rate, the Campbellford Rebels will develop triskaidekaphobia – phobia of the number 13 – before the end of the season, if they haven't already. Making that prediction entirely possible are the back-to-back losses on the weekend by a score of 13-1 to the Raiders in Napanee on Nov. 3 and at home to the Picton Pirates on Nov. 4. The Rebels have now allowed 13 goals in a game on three occasions, and yielded 10 or more 11 times. The average margin of defeat is nine goals. Little wonder Campbellford's record is a dismal 0-16-0-0 in the East Tod Division of the Provincial Junior Hockey League. The team avoided being shut out for the sixth time on Saturday when Jared Maracle scored at 15:58 of the third period, robbing Pirate Wesley Werner of his second goose egg in seven starts. It was a relatively tame affair, with only 24 minutes in penalties, 14 going to Campbellford. Unlike Friday's match, when the Rebels were assessed 13 penalties, including a five-minute major

to Kyle Deline for attempting to injure with little more than four minutes left in the game. It earned Deline a minimum four-game suspension from the league. It his second suspension this season, and the team's 12th. Kurt Gibbs had Campbellford's lone goal, at 8:25 of the first period, which tied the game at 1-1, for 6:45 until the Raiders went ahead to stay. The game sheet shows the home team fired 82 shots — yep, 82 — at Campbellford's tandem in net of Nathan Walford, who faced 81 of them, and Mike Ellis (who played 3:32). Campbellford's four goaltenders — Ellis (12 starts), Travis Frankland (7), Walford (4) and Sam Brunton (1) — have yielded 166 goals in 16 games, for a combined GAA of 10.37 and a save percentage of 0.825. While the defence has been porous, the offence has been anemic, managing just 18 goals and being shut out five times. Campbellford's next home game is this Saturday against the Gananoque Islanders, starting at 7:30 p.m.

EARLY BIRD WINTER TIRE

Quinte International Air Show grounded for 2018 BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – Disappointing news for aviation enthusiasts across the region, the Quinte International Air Show (QIAS) has been cancelled for 2018. Colonel Mark Goulden, Wing Commander of 8 Wing Trenton, said operations at 8 Wing Trenton are first priority and, with those commitments in mind, the difficult decision had to be made to cancel the show. “The last little while has been very busy with operations and a lot of those operations have been humanitarian assistance disaster response, the operation tempo has been very, very high,” said Goulden. It’s been a busy time at the base with operations to assist with disasters such as the forest fires in British Columbia, with 8 Wing people deployed there for two months, and assisting with the hurricane disaster in the Caribbean and Porto Rico. “The people on the wing here that support those operations and conduct those operations on a day to day basis are the same people that organize an air show and, as you can appreciate, organizing an air show the magnitude we would like to run here at the base involves a great deal of effort,” he said. The 2016 QIAS took eight months of planning, which was a surprisingly short amount of time compared to many other air shows that can take up to two years of preparation, said Goulden. The base just isn’t in a position to organize an air show for 2018 with ongoing and future operations, but Goulden said he is committed to establishing a committee that will look at future air shows, a committee consisting of military members and civilian partners from the community. “I can’t commit to a date right now, but I am going to commit to establishing that committee and they are going to look at some options of how we can run an air show here sometime in the near future,” said Goulden, noting that he’s

confident there will be a QIAS back in the skies over Quinte if he has anything to say about it. “I love air shows, I would absolutely love to have an air show here while I’m the commander, absolutely.” The 2016 air show was the return the spectacular QIAS, which had not been held at CFB Trenton since 2003. The 2016 show was a success, with more than 65,000 people in attendance, great involvement with the community and Goulden said it was a nice opportunity to give back to the community and display some of what the base has to offer.

Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison, while disappointed, was very understanding upon hearing the news. “I’m not surprised, I know they’re very busy at the base and as a result of that I can understand that they don’t have time to work on the show, it takes a lot of planning and preparation, but I’m sure we will have it another year,” he said. Harrison said he loves that air show but knows that they base has work to do, with operations all around the world. “I support them and I know the men and

women of 8 Wing are working all over the world,” he said, noting that the 2016 air show had a great impact on the local region. “It had millions of dollars of impact on the region, the 2016 show was fantastic with everything from the biggest planes, Snowbirds, everything the displays, I just thought it was unbelievable.” Harrison said he’s hopeful the airshow will be back in the near future, underscoring that he’s grateful CFB Trenton is located in the Quinte West community.

UN Day event fosters discussion on inclusiveness BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – If the Bay of Quinte region is to continue to embrace inclusiveness, it will require more than just policy. It will take action and events – and in will have to involve more opportunities for people of different cultural backgrounds to get together, discuss issues and understand one another. That was the one of the dominant thoughts at a “leadership summit and lunch” event hosted by the United Nations Quinte Branch on Friday, Nov. 3 at the Parrot Gallery in honour of UN Day. The purpose of the event was to bring community leaders together to discuss how to make the region a more welcoming place for new Canadians and how the community can better celebrate and promote diversity. “You have to get people to interact with each other. You have to let people be people,” said Dr. Bill Smith, one of four people on a panel that led a group discussion. Smith, representing the United Church of Canada’s Bay of Quinte Conference, said that in the past many churches had signs on their doors that said “all welcome” but weren’t really practicing what they were preaching. The United Church has since made efforts to become more progressive, and now all clergy members must take a course on racial justice before being appointed, he said. Other panel members spoke about how their organizations are doing more to embrace diversity. Cathy Rushton, a Loyalist College vice-president, said the college is making more of an effort to attract international students than ever before. This year

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

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

are the best practices?” he said. Karen Poste, Belleville’s economic development manager, represented the city on the panel. She spoke about Belleville’s new inclusive committee, which has organized numerous events, such as a vigil held last winter in the wake of a Quebec City mosque shooting that killed six members of the city’s Muslim community. Poste said that committee has been working to create forms for people to discuss issues related to diversity, so the public can be educated on issues, or report positive stories or concerns. She spoke about the Bay of Quinte Welcome portal (at immigration.bayofquinte.ca), which tells stories about the region in seven different languages, so potential new Canadians from different areas of the world can learn about the region. Bay of Quinte Member of Parliament Neil Ellis also attended the event. He told a story about his time as Belleville’s mayor when he was working on a plan with Poste to bring new immigrants to the region. He later received a signed letter from someone saying “how dare you try to change our city.” It was an all-time low point of his time as mayor, he said, as it reminded him that there are still people who do not embrace diversity, nor change. But he believes, over the last eight years are so, there are more organizations working to open people’s minds and encourage new Canadians to come to the region to improve the city’s culture, not to mention the economy. “There are a lot of organizations saying ‘this is the right thing to do,’” Ellis said. “Together we can shape our community and make it better.”

Police charge motorists photographing wreck BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Cramahe Township –While a toppled transport truck snarled traffic Thursday on Highway 401 near Brighton at the Lake Road exit, police used the ensuing traffic jam to charge motorists who cruised slowly past the scene taking photos with their smart phones.  Eastbound traffic on Highway 401 was slowed to a crawl between Colborne and Brighton Thursday after a tractor-trailer rolled onto its side into the median shortly after 5 a.m. One lane was closed to facilitate the removal of the vehicle and related cleanup. Police issued an update on the mishap, noting the investigation into the crash was continuing, but some drivers now face fines upwards of $300 for using a handheld device while driving. In the statement, police detailed, too the wild ride the transport driver had before crashing: "Further investigation revealed that the driver was originally traveling eastbound near exit #509 Brighton when he entered the centre grass median. After driving the tractor trailer through the grassy median he joined the westbound lanes eventually losing control of his truck several kilometres to the west. No other vehicles were involved... Charges are pending against the driver, a 38 year old man from Bradford, Ontario. "Police would like to remind motorists that it is illegal to hold a hand held communication device when operating a motor vehicle. Several motorists were observed to be taking pictures with their cell A tractor-trailer headed east on Highway 401 went off the road between Colborne and Brighton shortly after 5 a.m. last phones while driving by the collision scene resulting Thursday. in three drivers being charged with that offence.

Stirling council sets procedural bylaw BY TERRY MCNAMEE

ALASKA STAY & SSAGE CRUISE INSIDE !PA Home Pick-up ! JULY 10 TO 21, 2018

Stirling - Stirling-Rawdon Council has passed a lengthy new bylaw to govern the proceedings of both council and committees and to outline standards for public notice of meetings. The bylaw brings the township into compliance with Section 238 of the Municipal Act (2001), as amended. The new council procedural bylaw No. 1183-17, which replaces the old bylaw No.362-03, takes effect immediately. It includes a detailed list of definitions (for example, what constitutes a pecuniary interest) and outlines a list of rules which must be followed during meetings. The bylaw, passed Monday, Nov. 6, also states who may attend meetings, and whether any attendee can be removed (which can only happen if the person exhibits “improper conduct”) ,who can chair a meeting, when meetings will be held and how late they can last, the order of business for agen-

das, what requirements must be met to hold a closed session, and much more. The bylaw also limits the number of delegations on any one topic at a meeting to two and states that any person or organization (other than township consultants) is limited to two appearances on the same topic within one calendar year. The bylaw also outlines the duties of those presiding over meetings, lists things which members of council or committees are not permitted to do during meetings and states how members of the public must behave during meetings, such as refraining from “public outbursts, applause, shouting or behaviour intended to disrupt the debate, discussion and/or general proceedings of the council/committee.” Now that it has been passed by council, the full bylaw soon will be available on-line at http://www.stirling-rawdon. com/category/bylaws .

“Bill 148 basically says you’ve got to give everybody 48 hours’ notice before they can be called into work, and firemen will be paid $51 an hour for three hours a day for 300 days,” said mayor Rodney Cooney. “Something like that (would cost) Stirling-Rawdon about $1.6-million.” Treasurer/CAO Roxanne Hearns said the act is open to interpretation, but that they way it reads, the township would have to match the highest rate of pay of any township employee. In the case of firefighters, she said, “Whatever the highest full-time firefighter makes, your volunteers would make. It should be totally exempt for volunteer firefighters.” Cooney said the 48-hours’ notice is also completely untenable. “Basically, I don’t know if it’s going to snow tomorrow at 3 o’clock,” he said. He stated the only way to handle emergencies under this bill would be to use private contractors. Council voted to send a letter to the government of Ontario supporting Montague’s request, which asks for the province to provide an exemption from article s.21.4 for all municipal employees who are required to be on call to provide statutorily-mandated public safety services. The Montague resolution also asks the province to do a full economic impact study of Bill 148 to see what the effect will be on municipalities across Ontario.

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

Quinte Conservation’s popular Adopt an Acre program is back and will help support a new water monitoring and research facility at Quinte Conservation. General Manager Terry Murphy says, “the money raised with Adopt an Acre will help us build a water monitoring and research facility that will enable staff to continue with water quality monitoring programs on the Bay of Quinte and other watercourses throughout our watershed.” Murphy adds, “there have been so many changes over the past few years because of climate change that it is now necessary to have a facility like this at our office in order to ensure a healthy environment for our children and grandchildren.” For $25 donors receive a tax receipt and an adoption certificate in the name of a loved one, friend, teacher or anyone who is interested in supporting a local environmental cause. People can adopt their acre by visiting or calling the Quinte Conservation office or going online to www.quinteconservation.ca. When people adopt two or more acres, they have the choice to receive a plush toy chipmunk, fox, or (new this year) cardinal as a thank you for the donation. Quinte Conservation hopes to adopt out 250 acres this year. Last year the program raised just over $6,000 and helped to pay for signage at local conservation areas, habitat enhancement projects and invasive species removal. Quinte Conservation is a community-based environmental protection agency. It serves 18 municipalities in the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee and Salmon Rivers and Prince Ed-

Northumberland Hills Hospital victims were competition shooters BY KAREN LONGWELL

Cobourg — The man killed in Northumberland Hills Hospital police-involved shooting bragged about his large gun collection in Texas. Family members identified the couple who were killed at NHH on Friday, Oct. 27 as Tom and Helen Ryan. Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said the couple died following a shooting inside the emergency room in the NHH in Cobourg. The incident began after they were admitted to the emergency department for unknown aliments, said Jon Ansell, the lead SIU investigator on the incident. Just after 11 p.m. a shot was heard from the triage room when nurses entered the room they found the woman had sustained a head wound. Cobourg police responded very quickly and encountered the 70-year-old man. Two police officers discharged their firearms and the man was pronounced dead on scene. Dolly Rash the manager of Hospice Boutique in Brenham, Texas, where Helen volunteered once a week for about six years, described her as cheerful woman dedicated to her volunteer job. “She was just delightful. She was a very sweet lady,” said Rash.

for Helen at the ranch. Tom had a very large gun collection and both he and Helen were competition shooters at one point, said Rash. At the party Rash recalled Tom bragging about his gun collection. “He was showing off his guns,” she said. Estimates that he had 700 guns didn’t sound like an exaggeration, she added. At the party, several members of a gun club were invited and at one point went outside to fire the guns in a salute for Helen’s birthday. As an experienced shooter, Helen seemed comfortable around the guns. However, there were hints that Helen may have felt threatened by Tom, she added. Another volunteer told Rash she had concerns that Tom was abusive. Rash asked the volunteer if she thought Helen was in danger and the volunteer said she wasn’t certain. The last few times Helen came into the store Rash and other volunteers noticed there was a change in her memory. “I did see a hint of Alzheimer’s.” Helen couldn’t remember how to do some of her volunteer work but Rash just told her it was OK and just to sit

Texas friend of Cobourg hospital shooting victim had concerns BY KAREN LONGWELL

Cobourg –One of the women closest to Helen Ryan feared her friend might die at the hands of her husband. Tom and Helen Ryan, as has been widely reported, were both killed after a shooting in Northumberland Hills Hospital around 11 p.m. on Oct. 27. The Special Investigations Unit said Helen suffered a head wound after a gun shot was heard in the emergency room. The couple were brought to the hospital via ambulance after a care worker reportedly called police at Salem Woods Trailer Park east of Colborne that night. They were side-by-side, alone, when the shot was heard. The OPP, who are investigating Helen’s death, have declined to comment further on the case. Tom died after two Cobourg police officers fired their weapons. Faith Kemen, a close friend of Helen’s in Brenham, Texas, said during their 10-year friendship, Helen indicated she might be shot by her husband. “Helen had it in her mind she might go this way,” One of the women closest to Helen Ryan, shown here in photos from FAcebook, feared her friend might die at the hands of her husband. said Kemen. Metroland file photo Asked if Helen was abused, Kemen said she didn’t believe Tom touched her. “She wasn’t abused,” she said. Kemen was shocked Tom managed to get a gun she had some type of a stroke. But, once and a while, Helen would tell her she “Helen wasn’t well,” she said. feared Tom would shoot her, Kemen said. Tom had into the hospital. “They check here,” she said.

community; the tragic event that has taken place is the most severe form of domestic violence,” said Cornerstone executive director Nancy Johnston. “To end family violence, it is imperative to bring the issue further into the open, and let go of the stereotypes and misconceptions that allow people to believe it couldn’t happen to them or here in Northumberland County.” About every six days, a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner, according to Cornerstone. A 2013 Statistics Canada report found women were victims in about 80 per cent of intimate partner violence reported to police and account for 80 per cent of domestic homicide victims. However, the rate of domestic violence is likely much higher than we know, as 70 per cent of spousal violence is not reported to the police. Domestic violence has deep and broad roots, exceeding the confines of culture, economics, race or gender, and defying stereotypes of what an abuser or victim looks like. Although traumatic events like this shock our community, it is important to remember that Northumberland County is no stranger to family and intimate partner violence, according to Cornerstone. Each year, Cornerstone serves thousands of women and children through shelter, counselling and prevention programs. Cornerstone makes every effort to influence, educate and collaborate with the community, while working closely with community partners to connect victims and their families to local services. Cornerstone believes that building and maintaining strategic partnerships with the local and wider communities is essential to meeting the needs of clients. It is through recognizing and understanding the warning signs of abuse that it is possible to change the outcome of such situations before they become fatal. These could include safety planning and support for victims and their families, building awareness and skills for professionals and the community, and focusing on prevention initiatives.


Northumberland Hills Hospital creates plan after deadly shooting Northumberland — The presence of an active shooter inside Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) was new territory for the community hospital, so staff have created a new “go-forward” plan following the deadly incident. Since the shooting in the hospital’s emergency department on Oct. 27, staff have held eight meetings to discuss the incident while highlighting key themes for the future of the hospital, which include: • Support those affected by the incident • Security • Information and communication • Training and education “As hard as it has been to see and express the raw emotions felt after a traumatic incident like the one our hospital experienced on the night of Oct. 27, it has also been helpful to begin the process of releasing some of those emotions,” President and CEO Linda Davis said. “Titles and roles were not relevant to those discussions. It was a chance for us to highlight one common bond: we’re human and we’re hurting, each in our own way, and we need to talk it through.” Ontario’s Special Investigation Unit (SIU) continues to investigate the situation that ended with an elderly couple dead following a shooting inside the Cobourg hospital’s emergency room. The incident began after the couple was admitted to the emergency department for unknown ailments, Jon Ansell, the lead investigator said. The couple was side-by-

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

The hospital resumed regular service in the emergency department the following morning. NHH leadership worked closely this week with Cobourg Police chief Kai Liu, volunteer chaplain Andrew Truter and the hospital’s employee and family assistance provider to facilitate a series of internal

“emotion” debriefings for anyone involved in or affected by the incident. Following discussions, the hospital is offering an “expanded contract with NHH’s existing security provider, G4S Security, to increase NHH coverage to include an additional 24/7 security guard in the (emergency department) beginning this month.” A second action will see the introduction of joint training for staff with local police on what to do to minimize risk if a weapon is discovered in the hospital. Furthermore, the hospital highlighted another theme that emerged during the meetings: gratitude. “As difficult as the past week has been, there is broad agreement that we have much to be grateful for as a hospital team and a community,” Davis said. “At the top of this list is the quick and professional response of the Cobourg Police Service. We see our local police as family and they have told us the feeling is mutual. “We are also grateful for the response of our own team and our partners,” she continued. “Everyone in the building that night and in the hours and days afterward played an important role in our response. “Partners in our community and around the province have also been quick to reach out with offers of help. Patients, friends and colleagues have flooded us with food, coffee and messages of support. “We are grateful for it all.”

LHIN puts hold on Trenton’s Health Hub decision BY ERIN STEWART

Belleville – The decision on where Trenton’s Community Health Hub will be located has been put on hold, for now. The board of the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN) moved a recommendation Monday to hold a meeting for the original Implementation Task Force members, who no longer hold meetings, to inform them of a controversial decision to have the health hub located on Murphy Street – not the preferred location on Catherine Street next to Trenton Memorial Hospital. Since higher-than-recommended contaminants were found in the soil on Catherine Street – with a price tag of $760,000 for remediation – the Belleville and Quinte West Community Health Centre’s (CHC) current location downtown Trenton on Murphy Street became the recommended site, states an SE LHIN release.

The decision sparked concern and disappointment from some task force members including some from Our TMH, resulting in a bus of about 40 Our TMH members to protest and sit in during the open meeting at the SE LHIN offices in Belleville Thursday evening. Paul Huras, CEO at the SE LHIN, said he is concerned about the risks associated with building on Catherine Street, as outlined in an environmental report, commissioned by Quinte Health Care (QHC). The extensive report was completed in August, followed by a risk management report and a subsequent order-of-magnitude costing estimate. Huras said he is concerned about a number of issues, including the timeliness of the project, remediation costs and the cost of ongoing monitoring of the site with possible remediation costs in the future. “I have to measure risk and I have to determine about the risks going forward, and if I think

the risk is too great I’m not going to recommend it going forward,” said Huras. “There’s contaminants in the soil and further investigation is required, that’s a concern for a lot of people right now.” The report stated that limited groundwater data was available, which Huras said is a concern as more time, money and investigation would be needed to complete additional tests. Another issue brought up in the report was the

need for regular monitoring and maintenance of the soil and/or groundwater. With that in mind, Huras said he is concerned about the ongoing additional costs and the potential of additional remediation needed in the future. In order to move the project forward in a timely matter, Huras said the best option is Murphy Street. Story continues on Page 19...
