Belleville – Belleville police swarmed an area in east end Belleville last Friday for what had been called in as a man waving a handgun in a dispute with other young men on Brassey Street. That brought a half dozen police cruisers racing to the scene with sirens and lights blaring and the first officer to roll up on the scene, video of the incident shows, drew his sidearm and ordered the suspect to drop the weapon. The incident occurred at approximately 10 a.m. Friday Aug. 18 in the neighbourhood directly south of the city’s new Station Street firehall. A 22-year-old Belleville man, who was not named by police, was taken into custody and later charged with possession of a dangerous weapon and pointing a firearm. No one was hurt and police seized a replica handgun. Social media sites posted several versions of a video shot by a neighbor that showed two groups of young men arguing and the suspect brandishing what appeared to be a handgun. In a second, similar but unrelated incident, police charged a man Monday for brandishing a replica handgun. At about 10:45 a.m., Monday, Aug. 21, police responded to a disturbance on Evans Street near the CN tracks. Police said a man and a woman at the scene had confronted two other men and began arguing. A pair of bolt cutters were brandished as a weapon,

Belleville – Clothes may go out of fashion, but the public interest in history never wanes. A trip to Glanmore National Historic Site will let guests see how people dressed 19th century-style. The east end museum has a new exhibit called “Old-Fashioned: 150 Years of Belleville’s Apparel.” The exhibit continues the museum’s year-long celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday and the 200th anniversary of the forming of Belleville. It highlights historic men’s and women’s clothing from the museum’s regional collection.
“The exhibit looks at the type of clothing people were wearing in Belleville throughout the decades, identifies key style trends from each period, 1860s to present, and provides fine examples from the museum collection,” the museum says. “Many of the historic outfits featured have never been displayed before.” The exhibit opened with a special evening reception on Thursday, Aug. 17 and will remain on display until Sunday, Oct. 8. Glanmore is located at 257 Bridge St. E. For more information call 613-962-2329.

Alex Sagriff ’s death was due to natural causes, death certificate confirms Belleville – The death of Belleville teenager Alex Sagriff in Cuba last month has been attributed to natural causes by local authorities, according to her Cuban death certificate, The Toronto Star reported last week. Sagriff, 18, was found dead in her Varadero hotel room on July 6, while on a graduation trip organized by S-Trip, a private travel company geared toward high school students. Sagriff died of heart- and lung-related issues including acute pulmonary edema, acute myocardial infarction and ischemic heart failure, says a death certificate issued by Dr. Sergio Piera, director of Cuba’s Institute of Legal Medicine. No alcohol was found in Sagriff’s system, says the certificate, which was provided to the Star by S-Trip. Sagriff’s family declined to comment on the findings of the Cuban autopsy, but issued a written statement through S-Trip, which The Star obtained. “It is unfortunate and hurtful that there continue to be individuals who insist on talking about Alexandra in a way that questions her character and dishonours her memory,” her family wrote. “She was a loving and caring young woman who was always well respected and loved by all.” S-Trip has been in consistent contact with Sagriff’s family since the death, said Samia Makhlouf, a public relations professional working for S-Trip. Sagriff was a recent graduate of St. Theresa Catholic Secondary School and was preparing to attend Loyalist College in the fall. She was a standout basketball player for the Titans and was about to join the Loyalist Lancers women’s team. A GoFundMe account for the Sagriff’s family now shows that more than $91,000 has been raised.
Alex Sagriff is seen here playing basketball for the St. Theresa Titans in this Belleville News file photo. The fund was set up to help the Sagriff family deal with expenses to bring Alex’s remains home. However, the funds will also allow the family to explore opportunities to support Alex’s community, through bursaries, programs or services.

OPINION
Trump: the Reagan Gambit? Last Sunday I wrote a piece on the political crisis in Venezuela. Then on Wednesday I wrote an article on Donald Trump’s hyperbolic language about North Korea. But it never occurred me that the next Gwynne Dyer to article would be about Trump, North Korea AND Venezuela. I forgot about the Reagan Gambit. In October, 1983, US President Ronald Reagan had a little problem. A massive truck-bomb had killed 241 American Marines in their barracks at Beirut airport. That was more than a quarter of the total American force deployed as “peacekeepers” to Lebanon – a deployment that had already become controversial in the United States. So Reagan had some explaining to do. In another part of the world entirely, the tiny Caribbean island nation of Grenada, pop. 90,000, had another military coup – a coup within the coup. A radical pro-Cuban politician called Maurice Bishop,who had overthrown the elected government, was executed by his fellow revolutionaries over some minor differences of opinion. A pity, perhaps, but of no more importance to the rest of the world than Grenada itself. The Cold War was running quite hot in this period, so although the island had no strategic value the American right was getting upset about Russians and Cubans building an airport on Grenada. In the normal course of events this would probably not have led to an American invasion, but Reagan badly needed a political distraction. On October 25, precisely two days after the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, the US military began a full-scale invasion of Grenada on Reagan’s orders. It was one of history’s most one-sided battles – only 19 Americans killed, although the US handed out 5,000 medals for merit and valour – but it did the trick. A friend said to me at the time that Reagan had gone home and kicked the cat, which was true enough, but conquering Grenada didn’t just make him feel better. There’s only room for one lead story at a time, and Grenada pushed Beirut aside in the US media. When Reagan pulled the remaining Marines out of Lebanon four months later, few people remembered to

ask what those other Marines had died for. And now Donald Trump, stumbling deeper each day into an confrontation with North Korea over nuclear-armed ICBMs he swore that Pyongyang would never get, may be looking for a way out. So on Sunday, he said: “We have many options for Venezuela – and by the way, I am not going to rule out a military option.” He said it although nobody had asked him if he was planning to invade Venezuela. (It hadn’t occurred to anybody that he might.) And he said it from his golf course in New Jersey. (Reagan made his Grenada decision on a golf course too). And it certainly did take North Korea out of the news for at least one or two cycles. So be on your best behaviour, all you other governments in Latin America and Canada, or he might come for you too. But is he actually planning to invade Venezuela, a fairly well-armed country of 30 million people? Trump has already given President Nicolas Maduro’s beleaguered regime a propaganda gift by strengthening its argument that its opponents are all traitors and American spies. Does he realise that an American invasion of Venezuela would trigger both a bloody civil war and a prolonged antiAmerican resistance movement? Probably not. He knows that Venezuela is a superpower in the “Miss Universe” universe, but he will not have read the full briefing paper unless they remembered to put his name in every paragraph (and he may have caught onto that trick by now). It would be nice if this threat about Venezuela were evidence that Trump knows he is in over his head with North Korea and is looking for a face-saving way out, but it’s not likely to be true. It’s much more likely to be just another example to his scattershot approach to dealing with a problem: create as many other problems as possible, and the pressure will come off. Ronald Reagan knew he had walked into a hornet’s nest in Lebanon, and just needed to create a diversion while he found a way of getting American troops out of the Middle East. It’s not clear that Trump even understands that he is in deep trouble, and that he is at risk of starting a nuclear war in order to prevent one. Stream-of-consciousness decision-making is unfailingly interesting, if you are using “interesting” in the sense of the fauxChinese curse: “May you live in interesting times.” But in real life, that’s the last place you want to live.

Name your poison: DEET or Lyme/Zika/West Nile Editorial by Chris Malette In a year when we’re being barraged by warnings of Lyme disease-carrying ticks and West Nile-borne mosquitos in nearby Northumberland/Kawarthas, the single, same warning is issued – take precautions, wear protective clothing and apply insect repellent. More specifically, the warnings say those that contain the active ingredient DEET are most effective. Forget your aunt’s Avon nice-smelling baby sauce to keep these winged and black-legged demons at bay – load up on the guaranteed deterremnt, we’re told. Use DEET. But it wasn’t all that long ago when our own health authorities were telling us toe limit the use of the stuff or even stay away from it, warning it could harm young children, pets and your goldfish, too. Now, those same authorities are telling us to lather up and lay it on. A recent Consumer Reports survey of 2,011 adults found that just one-third believe existing insect repellents are safe for adults, and even fewer, just under one-quarter, think they’re safe for children. Health Canada has deemed the stuff safe and, for those who still believe that DEET will make you grow a third eye or cause cancer, neither the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services nor the EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs have classified DEET as a carcinogen. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, animal studies have not found an increase in tumours in research subjects who were given oral DEET tablets or who had liquid DEET applied to their skin. One Swedish study did find that men who used DEET for 115 days or longer faced an above average risk of developing testicular cancer. But, the CDC says the study was flawed and the results were not conclusive. From the US Environmental Protection Agency – from the country that brought us DEET, developed, of course, initially for military use: “Based on extensive toxicity testing, we believe that the normal use of DEET does not present a health concern to the general population, including children,” said the EPA. But, it wasn’t that long ago when we were hearing news reports that Health Canada “is phasing out insect repellents with high concentrations of DEET by December, 2004.” The department said at the time, “even though DEET is a safe product,” it was only going to allow bug repellents with less than 30 per cent concentration of DEET.

bug lotions were banned outright. (Hint – if you think you need more DEET, bring back some from from the United States, if you’re there, that can come in concentrations up to 99 per cent. ‘Ben’s’ is a personal favourite.) Since 1957, DEET has been used to keep bugs at bay. It forms a vapour barrier around your skin so bugs can’t smell you. Health Canada officials say DEET is just as effective in lower concentrations. It’s just that lower concentrations don’t last as long. (Hint 2 – The ‘good stuff’ from the Excited States lasts all day!) Here’s what we were hammered with in 2004: Health Canada has also released some guidelines for people using repellents containing DEET: • children under six months of age should not be using it • children between six months and 12 years of age should never have it on their face and hands • children between six months and two years should only use it when there’s a high risk of complications from insect bites and only the least concentrated product should be used sparingly • children aged two to 12 years of age, should use the least concentrated product and do not apply more than three times daily. Do not apply to the face or hands • for anyone 12 years of age and older: do not use any products with a DEET concentration of 30 per cent or stronger But, today, here’s what public health officials are saying about the methods recommended to “fight the bite” to ward off West Nile and Lyme disease vectors: • Cover up: Applying insect repellent or bug spray containing DEET on clothes and exposed skin can keep pests at bay. Clothing also offers an important layer of protection. When possible, wear light-coloured, long-sleeved clothing to keep bugs out and make them easier to spot. On hikes, wear closed-toe shoes, tuck pants into socks and stay on the centre of trails and paths. No one is warning you not to use it on children (but, yes, you should be careful not to let little Egbert get it in his mouth.) It’s simple, really. If you don’t get a tick or mosquito bite, you’re not going to get the diseases the insects carry. Granted, mosquito bites are more ubiquitous, depending on where you live, but we can all heed the warnings and take precautions against either using the repellant. And, yes, that means DEET. Get over it. It works.

Belleville’s “ducks are in row” if provincial funding programs roll out AMO conference allows for mingling with ministers BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – The city will be ready if the province begins rolling out funding for municipal projects over the next year, said Mayor Taso Christopher and one of his council colleagues. Christopher and Coun. Egerton Boyce met with reporters in council chambers Friday, Aug. 18, to speak about their recent trip to Ottawa for the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference. The massive conference allows municipal leaders to meet with provincial ministers for 10-minute sessions, participate in seminars and listen to speeches. This year, municipal leaders, aware that the next provincial election is within a year, knew it was a good time to bend ministers’ ears on how to make municipal-friendly policies and be prepared for any new funding programs. In the months leading to election season, senior governments tend to roll out funding for special projects to get on voters’ good side. “It would be a delight to see if they have more projects rolling out,” Christopher said, as Boyce added “our ducks are in a row.” He and Boyce spoke about how the city has plans in places to improve cycling infrastructure in the city, along the Bridge Street West area, the northeast industrial park and other areas. Meanwhile, the city is also preparing to work with Ministry of Transportation officials on the expansion of Highway 401 through the city, a
project that would involve adding a third lane on both sides and new off-ramps. While the province funds major highways, such as the 401 and 62, the municipality would have to shoulder some costs, such as work around the Sidney Street overpass, Christopher said. These projects were discussed in a session with Transportation Minister Steve Del Duca. Belleville delegates also met with Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Jeff Leal and Minister of Infrastructure Bob Chiarelli to discuss projects and ways the province can work with municipalities better. Christopher stressed that it’s time for the province to do away with funding programs that are application-based and instead offer “sustainable” regular funding programs for municipalities. He said provincial policies already have the city obliged to work on projects such as transportation master plans and asset management plans to show that they’re ready to tackle infrastructure projects. Given this, he says, it seems unnecessary for cities to devote more time and resources to write applications for funding, which might not even be successful. He said Belleville is not alone in this opinion, as it’s shared “100 per cent” by many other municipal leaders. Provincial officials, he said, also realize they must help municipalities with infrastructure

He noted that Premier Kathleen Wynne attended the conference and spoke about her desire to invest in sports and recreation facilities across the province. Also, Christopher said, while many Build Belleville infrastructure projects have been completed in recent years, the city will always have new projects worth tackling and, the way inflation is, any project that doesn’t get done in one
particular year, will become 5 to 8 per cent more expensive the following year. Yet he feels that the province understands the importance of infrastructure, and Belleville is ready to tackle challenges. Coun. Mitch Panciuk also attended the AMO conference on Belleville’s behalf, along with chief administrative officer Rick Kester and economic development manager Karen Poste.

Orthodontist facing child porn charges due back in court in Sept. BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – A former Belleville orthodontist facing child pornography and voyeurism-related charges has a complex court battle ahead. Charges related to Anthony Garry Soloman were addressed in a Belleville court on Thursday, Aug. 17. Soloman did not appear in person, nor did his lawyer Matthew Friedman, of Toronto. However an agent on their behalf, Peter Girard, attended court and asked that the matter be pushed back to Oct. 12 so lawyers can seek disclosure of police details important to the case. “The disclosure may well be massive,” Girard said. “There’s a lot of it.” Crown Prosecutor Lee Burgess objected to that delay, saying it was important to proceed quickly. Justice Christopher Peltzer agreed and scheduled the next court day for Sept. 14. He also announced a publication ban, which prohibits media from publishing names of potential victims, unless they’ve consented. Soloman is facing four charges, according to the court docket. One is for making/printing/ publishing child pornography, one is for possession of child pornography and two charges are related to voyeurism. In July, Belleville Police announced the arrest of Soloman following a raid of his Toronto home where the 69-year-old is now living. Police allege he surreptitiously video taped young

BDIA hires new full-time office manager, hopes to stop constant turnover BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – The Belleville Downtown Improvement Area has hired Hazel Lloyst as its new full-time office manager. The organization’s chair hopes the move will end months of turmoil and turnover in the office where work takes place to promote Belleville’s commercial core, downtown village. Lloyst, a downtown resident, is well-known to the broader Quinte community, through past roles in fundraising for Loyalist College, Prince Edward County Memorial Foundation and the Belleville General Hospital Foundation. She’s also had a long career in human resources. Her hiring replaces Marilyn Lawrie, who was hired as a part-time executive director in March, but resigned earlier this summer. “In fairness, it was probably a bad decision to go with a part-time executive director in the first place,” said BDIA chair Dwane Barratt. He believes Lawrie just got too overworked in the position, especially considering she joined the BDIA at a time when the executive director position had been vacant and work was already piling up. He said the cost of having one full-
time office manager, as opposed to a part-time executive director works out similar, and the board plans on monitoring how this route goes. In the recent past, the BDIA has had two staffers – an executive director and an office and events co-ordinator – but the board recently decided to go with one staffer to save some costs. Decisions like these, Barratt explained, are always tough. The BDIA operates with a yearly budget of around $230,000, he said, which comes from a special taxy levy that downtown businesses pay. The BDIA board and its staff then always have the delicate task of accommodating the wishes of a wide collection of downtown business owners, and trying to reach consensus on issues, such as how much money to devote to staffing and what special events to hold and promote. “All the members of the downtown are independent business people; they all have their own ideas and independence,” he said. “They’re independent, so they tend to be fee-thinking. But the DBIA is structured for governance. Things don’t move as fast as say at my own business.” A past BDIA staffer, Erica Holgate, who was acting executive director un-
til last summer, wrote a Facebook post to suggest that there is tension behind the scenes at the BDIA that many people don’t talk about publicly. It’s preventing new people, with new ideas to flourish, she argued. “The problem is that detrimental attitudes and people continue to be allowed to dominate (and the fresh/innovative minds continue to get pulverized and forced to leave; whether that be board or staff) – to sweep things
under the rug and continue on like ‘staff are just leaving because this is a stepping stone.’ … until the City of Belleville chooses to get their hands dirty, acknowledge the problem that they KNOW exists, this problem will continue,” she wrote. Barratt acknowledged that the BDIA is “always under the microscope” but he feels that things are about to get better, especially with the City Centre Revitalization Project al-
most complete. “I kind of walked into a firestorm of worst-case scenario,” he said, with a slight laugh. “But there’s nothing you can do. In the ideal world, I wouldn’t have someone resign (so soon after being hired).” Lloyst starts in her role on Aug. 28, Barratt said. “Moving forward – we’ll keep on going and have some events go on.”

Quinte Royals midgets are kings on the hill BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Quinte West – In minor baseball, success almost always comes down to pitching depth. And the Quinte Moran Insurance Royals midget team has enough hurlers to win an arm’s race. The Royals have nine players capable of starting games on the mound and for that reason the team has a good chance of winning the Ontario Baseball Association A level championship tournament this weekend in Mississauga, said coach Chris Lisle. The Royals capped their Eastern Ontario Baseball Association season on the weekend by finishing as finalists in the championship tournament that they hosted. The Royals lost 11-4 to Peterborough in the final game at Bayshore park in Trenton. It was a disappointing result, given that the Royals finished first in regular-season play ahead of Peterborough. But they have a chance to make amends this weekend and finish the season strong. “Absolutely – I’d put us amongst the favourites,” said Lisle, when asked if the team can win
in Mississauga. Last weekend, the Royals started with a 7-0 win over Clarington, then lost 5-3 to Peterborough in games in Quinte West. They then beat Ajax 11-3 in a Saturday night tilt at Belleville’s Rotary Park. With the tournament shifting back to Trenton on Sunday, the Royals beat Kinston 6-0 in a morning game. That earned them another date with the Tigers, who were then undefeated in the tournament. While the Royals jumped to a 4-0 lead early, the Tigers stormed back and won 11-4 to claim the tournament. Despite the loss, it’s still been a stellar season for the Royals. They finished 18-2 in regular season play and also won tournaments in Kingston on London; again, mainly on the strength of their pitching depth. Lisle said he believes he could put every one of the team’s 13 players on the mound, if he had to; which makes them capable of winning tournaments where innings rack up over several days.

Quinte Exhibition will take place on west side of fairgrounds – for now BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Activities at the 196th edition of the Quinte Exhibition will take place entirely on the west side of the Belleville fairgrounds this year. It will be the first visible sign to the public that, after years of behind-thescenes negotiations, changes are in store for the Belleville Agricultural Society. Last November, Belleville city council announced it had struck a deal with the society to buy it out of its lease on land at what was once considered the east side of the fairgrounds, west of Sidney Street along Bridge Street West. But the society still has a lease with the city to operate on the west side of the fairgrounds, where the grandstand and dirt track are located. This land will still be used to host the annual fall fair until the fair board finds a more suitable new property, preferably in a more rural location, said Agricultural Society president Rick Caddick. As the society gets ready for this year’s fair, from Aug. 31 to Sept. 3, he said the society is in a good position to plan for a better future. The deal

sions. “At this point, we’re exploring all our options,” he said. “It’s very early to make any assumptions.” However, Caddick said there’s a general consensus that the current location, at Bridge and Sidney, is too urban a location for a fall fair that celebrates rural life. When the fair board struck a 99year lease with the city to use the land, back in 1951, the location was on the outskirts of town. Now, it’s prime urban real estate, and Caddick said it’s no secret the city would welcome regaining access to it. The November buyout of the east property was hailed by both sides as a win-win because it will allow the Agricultural Society to put money towards a new home, plus the city stands to gain great tax revenue if the land is developed. He said the current fair board has a great relationship with city council. He admitted progress on the issue was slow in past years as “there were a lot of people with their own agendas trying to make it their way.” But he said he’s now “very, very confident” that progress will be made on a move, working with the city.
As for this year’s fair, he said he believes everything will work fine and, in fact, be more convenient for travellers. A section of Sidney Street will no longer have to be blocked off to traffic, and organizers are working with new owners of the Avaya building to make sure people can get in and out easily. A temporary building will be set up to replace some of the indoor space once utilized on the east side. Also, activities will take place inside the Quinte Curling Club, located beside the grandstand. The fair often attracts 7,000 to 10,000 people, who attend to see 4H shows, jersey shows, horse-andtractor pulls and demolition derbies, which will take place on Friday and Sunday night this year. On Saturday night, there will be live entertainment provided by Freddy Vette and his two bands, The Rhinestone Ploughboys and The Flames. The debt troubles that once plagued the organization are now long in the past, Caddick said, and visitors will see the benefit of that. “For five or six years, we’ve enjoyed some fairly healthy profits,” he said. “We’re putting those funds back into the fair.”

Father and sons restore Plymouth Duster for Downs Syndrome Foundation BY MELYSSA GLOUDE
Tweed - It started as just another father-son project. Four years of hard work later, Justin Basset and his sons Jayden and Jaren are ready to give up the Duster. “2007 is when we began restoring it,” says Basset, the owner of the fully-restored Plymouth Duster. “It took four years and was finished in 2011 with the help from my two boys, Jayden and Jaren. They’ve done a lot of passing tools, and going to the flea markets to pick up parts and stuff. They helped work on it when they could.” The car, a classic 1972 Plymouth Duster, is a semi-fastback two-door coupe version of the compact-sized Plymouth Valiant, currently appraised at $45,000. For most people, parting with a car like that would be hard, but not for Basset and his family. “You could sell it and get your money back for it, or you could sell raffle tickets, make some of our money back and put it to a good cause. It got the point where we’ve outgrown it, so we’ve chosen to raffle it off, and donate proceeds to the Downs Syndrome Foundation. So that’s what we chose to do.” Bassets son, 17-year-old Jayden, has Downs Syndrome which makes the benefactor choice close to home. Raffle tickets for the car have been on sale since March, with Basset and his friends and colleagues using sites like Facebook to spread the word. “A friend of mine in Kingston, Brent Page, has sold tons of tickets from Oshawa to Ottawa. So he’s been a huge help,” says Basset. “Tickets are going to be available until the end of the month, and that should be it. The car is appraised at $45,000, we printed 400 tickets at 100 dollars a piece, so the odds are good. One in 400.” So far, Basset says approximately 300 tickets have been sold. The final draw is expected to be held on the September long weekend. “We’re hoping to take the car to the head office of the Downs Syndrome Foundation in Peterborough,” says Basset. “The head director there is going to draw the name.
Jayden Basset, 17, and Jaren Basset, 15, of Tweed helped to restore the Plymouth Duster. The car will be raffled off on the September long weekend with proceeds going to the Downs Syndrome Foundation. Melyssa Gloude/Metroland
They said they’ve never had a donation this large before.” Though it may be tough to say goodbye to the car, Basset says this seems like the best option for him and his boys. “It really started out as me just wanted to fix it up and
drive it,” says Basset. “But it went way beyond that. Every nut and bolt was taken apart. It was a full rotisserie restoration. A lot of work, a lot of hours; but this is the best way to get rid of it.

Representing many of the affordable and supportive housing providers in the region, the Hastings Housing Resource Centre (HHRC) along with the Housing First Working Group of the Poverty Roundtable HPE, are soliciting immediate help from communities in Hastings County. These advocates are reaching out to landlords and property owners directly, as there is no inventory of affordable rental housing currently. An acute homeless crisis is looming and these agencies would be grateful for any new affordable units. The Hastings Housing Resource Centre (HHRC) is a coordinating body for the County of Hasting supporting people who are currently homeless or at risk of becoming homeless to find and maintain affordable housing. Landlords typically come forward and make their listings known through HHRC but right now the gap in availability and the lack of landlords stepping up has created an acute shortage of affordable housing. “Currently there is no affordable longterm housing available and there are no options,” Cathie West, HHRC. The call for immediate action comes at the end of July where availability of affordable housing points towards zero in Hastings County. Landlords are being asked to contact the HHRC to mitigate the crisis with any rental units that are available and/or could be made available. Anyone who can make available a rental unit is encouraged to take action immediately. “The current reality of zero percent vacancy is putting Hastings County residents out on the streets,” says West. Affordable housing was declared a crisis in 2005 in Hastings County – re-
search at that time revealed extensive wait times for housing, growing homelessness, people of low-incomes not able to meet market rents and an increased vulnerability to homelessness was widespread across the County. Hastings County developed a progressive plan to address the need for affordable housing, for example it has various rent supplement programs in place. The rent supplements help low income individuals offset the high costs of rent to make it more affordable. Hastings County has also created more units and continues to create housing, while new builds are scheduled the need continues to grow.
“Today we have moved into an acute situation”, Cathie West, HHRC. “There is no affordable housing available. This means families, individuals and seniors will face increasing homelessness with no viable solutions in the near future. Those looking for housing include many who are working, students, and individuals and families on fixed incomes.” The most vulnerable group in this crisis are seniors. During 2016, 403 seniors sought housing support through the HHRC and many of these seniors were identified as being at risk of becoming homeless. This is a significant change since 2011 when the HHRC provided service to 75 seniors who were looking for housing. Additionally, there are many seniors who cannot afford to maintain their homes and the escalating costs of utilities are putting seniors at even greater risk of losing their housing. “We are seeing multiple applicants applying for the same unit which is leaving people with low incomes and barriers, such as disabilities, left out and without shelter,” Cathie West, HHRC. On a yearly basis the HHRC works
with approximately 1,600 people across Hastings County. Their focus is on linking people in need of housing that is affordable with landlords, and housing options to get people stabilized. “We are concerned that without any housing available on the horizon we will continue to see a sharp and dramatic increase in individuals and families facing homelessness,” says West. Although there is new construction happening the fact is, it won’t be ready until spring of 2018. “With winter looming we are concerned about those who are vulnerable”, says Durant, Director of the Poverty Roundtable HPE. “48 residents were displaced in February of 2017 which has left the community with a gross lack of housing. The Bel Marine crisis resulted in the community having to look at various options and solutions for housing which were already limited.” “A combination of losses in the housing supply compounded by low incomes in Hastings County and escalating rental costs has lead us here. We hope it won’t come to the point where we need community centres and churches to provide shelter, and we are in desperate need of the Grace Inn shelter opening in Belleville. If landlords come forward with places to let, and our community rallies to make housing available, if vacant homes and suites are made available, potentially Air B&B suites shifted back to long-term rentals we can address the current crisis. Plans are being made regarding how we can address these housing needs as well as preparing for what could be a worsening crisis,” Christine Durant, Director, Poverty Roundtable HPE. Housing First Working Group of the Poverty Roundtable HPE calls for urgent actions to stymie the housing crisis: Calling on landlords to step up; Calling on homeowners if they have suites and units vacant to make them available immediately. If you are a landlord or have an apartment or house you could rent you are encouraged to get in contact with Hastings Housing Resource Centre at 613969-0830.

First human case of West Nile confirmed for HKPR region BY SARAH HYATT
Northumberland – With the first human case of the West Nile virus confirmed in the region, health unit staffers are asking residents to take precautions. On Friday, Aug. 18, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit confirmed a resident within the region has been infected with the virus.
“This year, because of the weather, the province is saying with the high rainfall and the hot and humid temperatures, this could be the worst season for the West Nile virus since 2012,” said Marianne Rock, manager of communicable disease control, epidemiology and evaluation for the health unit. “And it does, it makes sense when you look at the weather and the fact that the last case was in 2012.” Health unit staffers are reporting the intense wet weather this spring and summer, combined with hotter temperatures has created ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes. “We have also seen reports this summer of positive human cases of West Nile virus being detected in other parts of Ontario,” noted Rock. In the wake of the news of the first human case of the virus for the region, staff is urging residents to take precautions against mosquitoes, saying the need is now even greater. As outlined above, this is the first human case of the virus for the region since 2012. The person infected with the virus “did not have to be hospitalized and is currently recovering, so that’s really good news,” said Rock. The health unit’s region includes Northumberland County, Haliburton County and the City of Kawartha Lakes. “For confidentiality reasons, we cannot be more specific about the area [in which the human case of the virus was confirmed],” said Rock. “What we really want to do is drive home the message not about location, but that the West Nile virus is present within our region.”
As of Aug. 12, Public Health Ontario’s most recent West Nile virus surveillance data indicates there have been eight reported “probable or confirmed” human cases of the virus throughout the province so far this year. In addition, the HKPR health unit detected the virus in mosquitoes trapped in Haliburton County in early July, confirmed Rock. Mosquitoes have also tested positive for the virus in the neighbouring Peterborough, Durham Region and Hastings County areas this summer. In other words, “it’s safe to assume the West Nile virus is present throughout this part of the province,” said Rock. As a result, health unit staffers are pushing people to “cover up and clean up.” “Don’t be complacent, because wherever you live, it’s important to reduce your risk of mosquitoes that can spread illness,” said Rock. The virus is primarily spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. “The biggest thing with mosquitoes is the temperature really drives them and so the hotter it is, the faster the mosquitoes will develop,” explains Rock. What’s more, the hotter it is, the faster the virus develops inside the mosquitoes and then they can transmit the virus, the manager continued. And while most people who get the virus do not experience any symptoms reportedly, a small number may develop flu-like symptoms, such as high fever, severe headaches, muscle weakness and stiff necks, say staff. Symptoms usually develop about two-to-14 days after an infected mosquito bites a person. In a few cases, people may develop more serious symptoms, including confusion, tremors and sudden sensitivity to light. The health unit urges people to seek medical attention if they suspect they have the virus. The cold nights and cooler fall days will eventually cause the mosquitoes to die off. But until then, Rock is stressing residents understand the current hot temperatures and wet weather in recent months has made for “prime breeding grounds for mosquito development, the wet weather and temperatures are big determining factors in the life cycle.” For now, it’s obvious the mosquitoes are still active and pose a health risk and that’s why it’s very important people to continue to take precautions, she said.

HPV Vaccines
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a group of more than 100 different types of viruses. More than 40 types of HPV are transmitted through sexual contact, including genital skin-to-skin contact and oral sex. It is estimated that about 75% of sexually active men and women will have at least one HPV infection in their lifetime. Cervical cancers make up about 35% of HPV cancers,but 65% of HPV cancers occur in areas other than the cervix – including some cancers in the back of the mouth and throat.
Cervarix Cervarix protects females against HPV types 16 and 18.Because Cervarix protects against 2 types of HPV, it is called a bivalent vaccine. This vaccine does not protect against genital warts.
Gardasil This vaccine protects both males and females against 2 types of HPV that cause genital warts (types 6 and 11) and 2 types of HPV that cause cancer (types 16 and 18). Because Gardasil protects against 4 types of CCS urges you to get your children 9 and older HPV, it is called a quadrivalent vaccine. vaccinated for free through publicly funded school-based vaccination programs, where Gardasil 9 available, to help reduce their risk of developing Gardasil 9 protects males and females a cancer caused by HPV.

Dear Editor, I’ve been enjoying the 800 hectares of natural beauty at Callahan’s Rapids Conservation Area for 28 years. The peace of mind this sanctuary always provides has given me an affordable summer vacation spot as well as a place to recover in solitude from various personal tragedies. But over the 28 years I’ve watched a gradual decline in its care and maintenance. When I first visited, there were change and toilet facilities and waste receptacles were available. The toilets and waste bins disappeared decades ago, sadly replaced by illegal campsite fire pits filled with garbage. The three main footpaths have been ‘supplemented’ by a maze of rutted trails torn through the thick bush, courtesy of illegal ATV trespassers. Seemingly Crowe Valley staff are content to sit in their air-conditioned offices and surrender our once pristine conservation area to the vandals. I’ve never once seen a uniformed conservation officer during my dozens of visits to Callahan’s Rapids. Considering it’s a 10 minute drive from Crowe Valley’s Marmora headquarters to the conservation area, I wonder why this lack of monitoring? Ditto the OPP - never once have I seen a cop car stopping all the illegal ATVs. Our local taxpayer dollars are being wasted while we wait for our public servants to perform their duties. The fish and birds, whose breeding areas are being destroyed, are voiceless. Ditto the frogs,
toads, snakes and turtles, that are having their habitat ripped up by fat and lazy ATV joyriders. There are rare orchids in the woods which are now criss-crossed by ragged trails and illegally chopped down tree stumps. Today I watched a parade of ATVs driving downstream from the Trans Canada bridges to the rapids, a distance of several kilometers. The jerks were often churning through several feet of water, and I kept hoping they’d ruin their noisy idiot machines. The senseless damage they were doing to the habitat is hard to believe. Simple solutions: for starters I’d like to see a couple of uniformed Crowe Valley Conservation officers in the parking lot on weekends. Although they are empowered to give tickets, just their presence would cool out some of the garbage leavers and illegal campers. Our local OPP should also visit on weekends, and begin by issuing warnings for the first few weeks to the ATVers. Something has to be done soon, or we’re going to lose this special spot to the vandals among us. The original donors of this sacred conservation area must be turning in their graves. For the frogs, toads, snakes, birds, bees, fish, trees, orchids and all our other silent friends who depend on us for their preservation… Chris Faiers Marmora
Eastern Star donates to Cancer Society Belleville – Shirley Harper, Worthy Matron of the Order of the Eastern Star Quinte #59, chose the Canadian Cancer Society as the recipient of this year’s Worth Matron’s Project. Harper and Ron Carter, the Order’s Worth Patron, presented Karen White, CCS Volunteer President, with a cheque for $1,345. Harper has been involved with the Canadian Cancer Society for 26 years, as a volunteer driver with the Wheels of Hope program, which assists local cancer fighters with travel to cancer-related appointments. OES is allocating their donation to cancer research. In light of, the 2017 cancer statistics conclusion that nearly one in two Canadians is expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, research is a priority for those working to fight cancer, the fundraisers say. “Research is at the core of our work,” says Jessica Klein, Community Fundraising Specialist for CCS. “Last year we Shirley Harper and Ron Carter (middle), representinvested $37.4 million in cancer research across Canada.

Hiking on the formidable, inspirational Appalachian Trail BY JOHN M. SMITH
On my most recent visit to Virginia, I did a hike on a small section of the Appalachian Trail, and it proved to be quite a workout. After all, it traverses some very rugged, mountainous terrain. However, my experience simply made me marvel at the determination, dedication, and perseverance that are shown by the true thru-hiker who walks the entire route, from end to end, on a single trip. After all, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy claims that the Appalachian Trail is “the longest hiking-only trail in the world”, at a length of about 2,200 mi./3,500 km., and it passes through 14 states. It extends between Springer Mountain, Georgia and Mount Katahdin, Maine. The average thru-hiker would be on the trail for five to seven months, so this is not for the faint of heart. However, it has been completed by people of a great variety of ages – from as young as five (a boy who walked the trail with his parents) and as elderly as in the late 80s. A pair of sisters wrote a book about doing the entire trail barefoot. Some participants have even jogged/ran along the challenging trail. I believe that ultramarathon runner Scott Jurek holds the present record for the fastest completion time: 46 days, 8 hours, and 7 minutes. In covering an average distance of about 50 mi./80 km. every day, he admitted that he “faced injury and feats of physical and mental toughness like never before”, but he achieved his goal of being the fastest. Only a small percentage of the hikers who attempt to do a thru-hike are successful, of course, for there are many trials and tribulations to be faced along the way, including fatigue, blisters, injuries, accidents, weather, and poison ivy. There have been journey-ending incidents with bears, wild boars, and rattlesnakes, too. I believe that it takes a special drive and a certain type of person to attempt such a feat. Dennis Blanchard, author of Three Hundred Zeroes: Lessons of the Heart of the Appalachian Trail, asked: “Have you ever dreamt about doing something totally foolish, something so absurd that perhaps you were afraid to tell anyone except possibly those closest to you? I harbored such a secret for most of my adult life — I secretly wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail [A.T.] from Georgia to Maine.” Well, he did it with a companion – and wrote his entertaining book as a result. One of his memories is retold here: “Thousands of grasshoppers were jumping everywhere; I felt like I was walking through popping popcorn. These critters made me conscious of my surroundings, since many snakes eat grasshoppers. When it comes to rattlesnakes and copperheads, the locals there have a saying that the third person gets bit. The theory is: the first person gets the snake’s attention, the second person gets the snake aggravated, and the third person gets bit. There were only two of us, but I didn’t feel like testing the theory.”

Indeed, there have been several worthwhile books written as a result of this particular hike through the eastern states, and perhaps the best and most humourous of them all was travel writer Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods (which was also made into a movie starring Nick Nolte and Robert Redford). He attempted to walk the trail with a companion, but they never completed it. However, he did communicate about the simplicity of life on the trail: “Life takes on a neat simplicity, too. Time ceases to have any meaning. When it is dark, you go to bed, and when it is light again you get up, and everything in between is just in between. It’s quite wonderful, really.” More than 2 million people are said to do at least a oneday hike on the Appalachian Trail every year, and several thousand will begin an attempt at a thru-hike. Some will even turn around after successfully completing the hike, and walk all the way back! This is known as a “yo-yo.” A few will even complete the “Triple Crown of Hiking in the U.S.”: the Appalachian Trail, the Continental Divide Trail, and the Pacific Coast Trail. If starting your hike in the early spring (March or April), it’s best to begin in Georgia (to avoid Maine’s cold and snow), and most thru-hikers will plan to stay in the shelters and tent sites that are spaced out about a day’s hike apart along the route. In Blanchard’s book, he commented on these shelters: “Only on a few rare occasions, when I was either very tired or the weather was just terrible, did I sleep in shelters. The mice rule the shelters, and if there are no mice, that’s because there are lots of snakes eating the mice…take

your pick.” I thought that my solo bike ride across Canada was quite an accomplishment, but I don’t think that I’ll be trying a walk of the entire Appalachian Trail. However, many of these thru-hikers do take breaks, from time to time, in the nearby towns that are found near the trail – to clean up and to replenish their food supplies. During my short day hike on the Appalachian Trail, I stopped at the Punch Bowl Shelter, and here I met a thruhiker who was camped out for the remainder of the day. He’d been walking since March – and hoped to complete the trail in September. He said that all thru-hikers are given trail nicknames, and he was now known as ‘Blood Mountain’. He was heavily tattooed, and he proudly showed off a large tattoo on his belly that read: “The mountains are calling and I must go.” So here he was! I also met four more thru-hikers that very day (one from Texas had the nickname of ‘Cantaloupe’), and they were all determined to complete the walk by autumn. More power John met thru-hiker ‘Blood Mountain’ at the Punch Bowl to them! (Travel and accommodations provided by Lexington, Shelter on the Appalachian Trail.

Mohawk Fair continues century-old tradition BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory – Pat Brant can remember a day when the Mohawk Fair was a reunion of sorts. For many years, people from the Mohawk nation were spread across Ontario and New York and the annual August weekend event, she explained, provided a good excuse to travel back home and be with family and friends. “It was a homecoming,” said Brant, the President of the Mohawk Agricultural Society. That, she believes, happens less now, but the spirit of the event remains the same. The fair provides one of those few times of a year when people are encouraged to break from their busy lives and celebrate their community. That spirit, today, remains strong. This year’s fair was the 117th edition in history; a proud accomplishment for the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory community, located just east of Belleville.
“It’s about trying to keep a good thing going,” Brant said, cheerfully. “To see the community doing well.” The weekend event at the Old York Road fairgrounds got off to a great start, as more than 1,500 people packed grandstands on Friday night to see the always-popular demolition derby. On Saturday, there was a casual atmosphere as families enjoyed the midway, took in a classic car show, and watched events from the grandstand, including square dancing. Inside the building there were craft activities for kids and ribbon-winning vegetables on display. Brant said the fair’s longevity is also a testament to the volunteers. A small core group works year round to prepare for the fair and about 120 volunteers are needed when the weekend comes. Those volunteers are “people who really care about their community,” she said.

about 15 dedicated volunteers, is moving forward to go to city council in October to try and get a field within the city limits. “We will ask the city for their support in helping us take this over as a city field,” says Chesher. “We will make sure that we raise the funds so that will mean a lot of campaigning and a lot of fundraising, and then we’ll hand it over to the city to maintain and take care of.” According to Chesher, the project will come with a $400,000 price tag. “We’re trying to get all-accessible dugouts, a field with rubberized turf, a score booth, accessible bleachers, completely fenced in property and a picnic area,” says Chesher. “We’re really shooting for the stars on this.” Though the diamond is still in the planning stages, the folks at Challenger are already accepting donations: to donate or to learn more about the program, visit www.challengerbaseball.ca.

Havelock – Five people were sent to area hospitals, two with life-threatening injuries, following a collision between a pick-up truck and three motorcycles east of Havelock on Aug. 19. A group of seven motorcycles was travelling east, near Weller Road, just before 1 p.m. when a westbound pickup truck crossed the centre line and struck three of the bikes head-on. It was reported one of the riders may have sustained a traumatic leg amputation in the collision, but the actual injuries have not been detailed by police. Emergency responders including firefighters, paramedics and members of the Peterborough County OPP were at the scene of the collision which occurred during the third day
of the Havelock Country Jamboree. Both police and paramedics already had teams stationed on the nearby jamboree grounds. The highway was shut between Mary Street and the Sixth Line of Belmont with Havelock-BelmontMethuen firefighters rerouting east and westbound traffic via Mary Street, County Road 46 and the sixth Line of Belmont. Traffic continued to move through the area despite the detour and heavier volumes visiting the village for the Havelock Jamboree. The OPP collision reconstruction team was at the scene to measure and document the incident. The highway was reopened shortly before 10:30 p.m. Saturday night. No further details are available regarding the motorcyclists or the driver of the pick-up truck.

Husband and wife team open two new businesses in Stirling BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling—With two snips of the scissors on Saturday, Aug. 12, Mayor Rodney Cooney cut the ribbons to officially mark the grand opening of two new businesses in town, both owned by Greg Belyea and his wife, Shari. Excess Storage and Extreme Clean Detailing are both located in one building at 2472 StirlingMarmora Road. The building was completely gutted and redone to create the self-storage facility and the auto detailing shop. “We took possession April 17,” Belyea said. “I’d love to plug Engel Construction, because they did a great job for us.” The facility is climate-controlled, making it unique in the township, he noted. “Outside of Stirling-Rawdon, there are other options, but in Stirling-Rawdon, we are the only one,” he said. “We have 60 units total. We have 11 outside which are 24-hour access, and 49 inside.” The main building has a variety of storage room sizes on two different levels. There is a wide door on each end so that people can drive in, unload (or load up) and drive on through instead of backing out, with plenty of room for two vehicles to pass each other. The detailing business is run by Steve Wilder. The service offers a complete cleaning service inside and out, from vacuuming and shampooing the interior to an exterior wash and wax.
