Belleville – When Melissa PaytonVan Normal is finished a haircut at the semi-annual Street Styles event she co-ordinates, she doesn’t receive any money.

Instead, she receives “hugs, tears – happy tears, big smiles,” she says.

“And the kids are so cute.”

Street Styles completed another successful event at the Salvation Army’s Bridge Street church on Saturday, Aug. 26. The event allows people – particularly Salvation Army clients – who can’t easily afford to visit a barbershop or salon, to get their hair cut free of charge.

Street Styles was first brought to Belleville by Payton-Van Norman in February 2016. It’s since become a twice-a-year event, occurring in the dead of winter and in late August (to suit families facing back-to-school expenses).

Heading into this year, more than 300 people had received a free haircut at a Street Styles event, courtesy of local hairstylists who donate their time for the event and work free of charge.

By early afternoon on Saturday, some 65 people had attended.

Payton Van-Norman was inspired to start Street Styles in Belleville after being involved in a similar program in Toronto, where hair stylists would set up shop at a shelter in Toronto.

She knows that the service the clients receive on the day represents more than just financial savings. A new look can help them feel good

“We have so many regular people who come back each year,” Payton Van-Norman said. “I had a mom who brought her daughter. She said she can’t go to a salon, because her anxi-

Among Payton-Van Norman’s clients on Saturday, was Allan Kirk, who came in with long hair and a thick beard and left with short slick hair and a shaved face.

He said he was grateful for the ser-

His wife of 31 years, Diane, loved the new look.

“I think it’s great,” she said.

Fatal crash investigated as crime say police A criminal investigation has begun in the highway death of a Loyalist Township woman in a head-on crash early Sunday morning just east of Belleville.

Police have released no names in the incident that occurred on Highway 401 just after 1 a.m.

Sunday in the eastbound lanes. But a statement from police Sunday said the OPP’s Napanee detachment criminal investigations office is proceeding with a criminal investigation, suggesting the collision was not accidental in nature.

A 16-year-old Belleville boy was at the wheel of a pickup truck that police said was travelling in the wrong

direction on the 401 when the collision occurred. The boy survived the impact and resulting fire when the truck struck an eastbound Subaru carrying the deceased woman, 30, and a driver, a 30-year-old Dryden man. Both the youth and the Subaru driver were pulled from their vehicles by passing motorists before flames engulfed both vehicles.

The driver of the car was taken to Kingston General Hospital with serious head injuries and the boy, too, was transported to hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries, said police.

No further details of the investigation have been released.

Sports Centre pool closed for maintenance Belleville – The pool at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre will be closed for its annual shutdown from August 26 to September 17, the city says.

During this time, any required maintenance will be performed and a thorough cleaning of all pool areas including the pool basins, pool deck, windows, ledges, change rooms, office and storage room spaces will take place.

There may be periodic closures of the pool change rooms while work is being done. These closures will be rotated to ensure fitness users continue to have access to shower facilities.

All other areas of the building will remain open for the duration of the

maintenance on the pool – sponsored as Templeman Menninga Aquatic Centre.

Public swimming will resume in the pools along with the start of the Fall swimming lessons and aqua-fitness programs on Sept. 18.

Safe and fun cooling zones at the city’s splash pads at West Riverside, Parkdale and Kinsmen Park will continue to be open for daily use through Labour Day and then open on weekends until the end of September (weather permitting).

The Kinsmen Outdoor Community Pool, located at 151 Dundas St. E., will also remain open until Sept. 15 (weather permitting). For swim times, pick up a schedule or www.qswc.ca.

‘Environmental campus’ costs concern some on Belleville council cations at 31 Wallbridge Crescent,” a building the city purchased recently.

The motion also calls for the city to draw $1.7 million of those funds from long-term debt.

Project manager Joel Carr-Braint told council Phase 1 work will likely cost around $3.7 million, but said he won’t likely be able to confirm what the project’s total costs will be until next year’s capital budget talks, when more work will have taken place.

Regardless of what the final costs

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

are, some councillors expressed confidence that the move is a good deal.

The reconstructed building will be about 40,000 square feet. Carr-Braint said a new similar building of the same nature would likely cost about $8 million.

“We keep going back and asking for more money, but in the long run we’re getting a great building,” said Thompson. “We may be $2 or $3 million more; in the end it’s going to be cheaper than a new building.”

Belleville – Belleville is moving ahead with the demolition, renovation and construction of a Wallbridge Crescent location to be the new home of environmental staff and Viridian Energy.

But, the costs associated with the project drew the same debate Monday that’s taken place at many city council meetings this term.

While the majority of councillors approve the project and see it as a great deal for taxpayers, a voting bloc of three councillors – Mitch Panciuk, Paul Carr and Kelly McCaw – feel it’s more expensive than necessary and city staff must work harder to get more tender submissions.

Yet Mayor Taso Christopher tried to quash that thought saying staff hit a “grand slam” by finding a way for the city to get a new building for way less than the roughly $23 million Quinte West is paying for a similar project that will serve as a new home for its public works department.

“This is a great acquisition. This will build an environmental service campus for the next 15 years,” he said, shortly before the vote passed with support from himself and councillors Egerton Boyce, Jackie Denyes, Mike Graham, Jack Miller and Garnet Mayor Taso Christopher, sitting to the right of Coun. Mike Graham, Thompson. discusses the Wallbridge Crescent project.

we’re taking on a project and doling out money as we go along. It seems like we’re constantly handing out the credit card and letting it proceed.”

Miller said he believes the project will, ultimately, save taxpayers millions in dollars, as it will consolidate the work of people in the parks and public works departments.

Yet, Panciuk, as he often does, questioned why the city only received one offer from a qualified company to complete the project and why the price was higher than what the city had originally projected.

“We are now seeing significant increases in the cost of construction; it’s unacceptable to go through this process and find these swings in prices,” he said.

Third gun call in two weeks Belleville – It was a shocking sight for neighbours and residents of a Tracey Park housing development Monday evening, as heavily armed Belleville police officers scoured the area for a reported gun-toting man.

In a statement, Belleville police said they got the call at 5:49 p.m. “regarding a group of people outside a residence in the city’s west end fighting and one of the males was carrying a firearm.”

Police quickly responded in numbers and began searching for the unidentified man. “Information was received that the suspect may possibly be inside one of the nearby residences,” said police. “As a result,

officers set up containment and members of the Belleville Emergency Response Team attended and safely cleared several residences with negative results.”

There was no sign of the suspect and Belleville police said they are continuing the search and investigation into the incident.

Residents were allowed to go back into their homes at about 7 p.m., said reports from the scene.

In the past two weeks, there have been similar calls to police where a man was reported to have been wielding a weapon. One arrest was made in the city’s east end when a replica handgun was seized.

Summit helps educators embrace technology

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Quinte West — Some of today’s teachers grew up in the heyday of the Commodore 64. But for today’s students, a MacBook, is probably the worst technology they’ll ever see.

This point, made by Australian educator Chris Betcher, in a presentation at an Eastern Ontario teaching summit at Bayside Secondary School, drove home the importance of getting teachers comfortable with embracing technology.

The summit, held Aug. 22-23, drew more than 400 educators to the Quinte Westbased secondary school.

The majority of those people were teachers, educational assistants and education support co-ordinators from the Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board.

The summit, led by an organization called EdTeach Team and run in partnership with Google for Education, allowed educators to think about new ways to teach, as they prepare for a new school year.

Teachers today must think about how to bring technology into their classrooms to suit 21st-century learners, said Wendy Goodman and Andrea Kerr, two learning support co-ordinators with the HPEDSB. It’s a touchy topic, Goodman admitted.

“We’ve talked about how teachers often feel kids are one step ahead of them (with their comfort with modern technology). For an adult, that can be scary.”

But, that’s why there’s been a recent shift in the way curriculum is delivered. “The

(Clockwise from top left) Clinton Breau, Wendy Goodman, Greg Shire, Andrea Kerr and Jeff Humphries were among who attended a Google For Education summit at Bayside Secondary School. Here, they pose for a fun photo at a special photo-op area for participants. Stephen Petrick/Metroland kids need to lead the learning,” she continued.

The summit allowed teachers to talk about using “virtual manipulatives” for math instruction and how to use other modern technologies, such as Google Maps, to bring the physical world into their classrooms.

It also allowed for discussion on new ways to assess learning. Goodman said, early in her career, teachers usually only looked at what came off the student’s pencil, to determine their grades. But now, for instance, a student can demonstrate learning through a video they make to show their class.

Also, as Kerr pointed out, the environment educators teach in can be different today, too.

She pointed out that more teachers are using the internet to help deliver lessons; and there’s more acceptance of the importance of special seating arrangement for students or outdoor classroom opportunities.

Also today’s technology, and the everchanging nature of our workforce, is prompting teachers to think differently about how they attempt to mould young minds.

“The question shouldn’t be, ‘what do you want to be when you group up?’” Kerr pointed out. “It should be ‘what problems do you want to fix?’”

Yet, Goodman and Kerr are also aware that technology, on its own, can’t deliver instruction.

They say they’re not worried about being “replaced by robots” because humans will always be needed to foster good relationships with students, teach and encourage collaboration and model the appropriate use of technology.

However, teachers will have to think about how technology-related instruction can fit into every stand of curriculum they teach. This year the HPEDSB is encouraging teachers to think about 10 “core competencies” that all graduates must possess if they are to become “globally minded leaders and learners.”

One of those competencies is being “digitally-fluent.” The others are listed as; “entrepreneurial, literate citizen, numerate citizen, well-being, critical thinker, creative thinker, communicator, collaborator,” and “caring inclusive citizen.”

220 Campbell Road, Warkworth Goodman said new styles and philosophies in teaching are ultimately (GPS - Trent Hills) about getting kids excited about learnAugust and September ing.

“You have to think about what’s Friday and Saturday 9am - 4pm best for kids,” she said. “Do you want them running to your classroom, or from your classroom.”

Afghanistan: An endless war In 2010, Barack Obama’s vice-president, Joe Biden, vowed that the United States would be “totally out” of Afghanistan “come hell or high water, by 2014.” In 2014 Obama said that he would leave about 8,000 US there after all, Gwynne Dyer troops and made an agreement with the new Afghan president, Ashraf Ghani, that extended their stay “until the end of 2024 and beyond.”

Donald Trump wasn’t having any of that.

Back in 2013 he tweeted “Our troops are being killed by the Afghanis we train and we waste billions there. Nonsense! Rebuild the USA.” But it looks like the generals have now got to him with what passes for military wisdom.

On Monday Trump announced that he would be sending more US troops to Afghanistan – probably around 4,000 – and that they would stay as long as necessary. He has a clever new strategy, too: “We are not nation building again. We are killing terrorists.” (I bet George W. Bush and Barack Obama wish they had thought of that.)

There is a strong temptation at this point to haul out the hoary old line: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Trump is, indeed, proposing to do the same old things again, ostensibly in the hope of achieving different results.

Peak US troop strength in Afghanistan was 100,000 in 2010-11. If that did not deliver victory then, how likely is it that boosting US troop numbers from 8,500 to 12,500 will do it now?

Neither the Soviet Union nor the British empire at the height of its power were able to overcome Afghan resistance to a foreign military presence, and we now have sixteen years of evidence that the United States cannot do it either.

Both the British and the Russians were able to maintain a military presence in the country as long as they were willing to take the casualties that involved, but in neither case did the regimes they installed long survive their departure. Whatever their merits, those regimes were fatally tainted by their foreign sponsorship.

The United States now finds itself in precisely the same situation. Ashraf Ghani’s government is certainly not the worst that Afghanistan has had to endure, but it lacks

legitimacy in the eyes of Afghan nationalists because it depends on foreign troops and foreign money.

Since those foreign troops dwindled from 140,000 in 2011 (including non-American troops from a dozen other Western countries) to only 13,400 now, the Afghan government has lost control of about 40 percent of the country. And the process is accelerating: onethird of that territory was lost in just the past year.

So what would happen if the foreign troops all left and the Taliban became the government again, as they were in 1996-2001? Would the country become a breeding ground for terrorism? Would more plots like the 9/11 attacks be hatched there? Probably not.

The Taliban are essentially a nationalist group. Their extremely conservative take on Islam was not seen as a problem by Washington when they were fighting the Russians, and most rural Afghan males do not see it as a problem now. (Nobody asks the women.)

Most urban, educated Afghans are terrified of the Taliban’s return, of course, but they are a small fraction of the population. And many foreigners see the Taliban as the least bad alternative to the US-backed regime. As Zamir Kabulov, the Russian special envoy to Afghanistan, said in early 2016: “Taliban interests objectively coincide with ours.”

What he meant was that the Taliban aren’t interested in foreign affairs at all. They do not dream of a world Islamic empire; they just want to run Afghanistan. Indeed, they are the main military rivals to the jihadis of Islamic State and al-Qaeda who are currently trying to establish a foothold in the country – and by and large they are winning those little private wars.

But what about 9/11? There is good reason to suspect that Osama bin Laden and his mostly Arab companions of al-Qaeda, then guests of the Taliban, did not warn their hosts before they carried out that atrocity, since it would clearly lead to a US invasion and the overthrow of the Taliban regime.

Obviously, few of these considerations will have occurred to Donald Trump, but does that mean he really thinks he can win in Afghanistan? Not necessarily.

Maybe, like Obama, Trump has simply decided that he doesn’t want the inevitable collapse of the Western-backed regime in Afghanistan to happen on his watch. He’s just committing enough American troops to the country to kick it down the road a bit.

Editorial by Chris Malette They’re in most small towns and cities. Ostensibly, they’re a venue for homegrown, homemade goodness – beets from the farm field, local sweet corn, tomatoes when in season, jams, jellies, flowers and more.

Farmers markets and farmer’s roadside stands are all about the goodness of the earth, right here in our own backyards, aren’t they?

Well, not always.

You see, some market vendors make a weekly, sometimes twice-weekly or more trek to the sprawling Ontario Food Terminals in Toronto where several hundred large-scale produce vendors sell to neighbourhood green grocers, some small supermarket chains, restaurants, caterers and, yes, market vendors who then re-sell their produce as their own.

Oh, if you ask, the honest ones will tell you they purchased such and such out of local season, but in cases where some market and roadside vendors make their living off the volume of their produce sales, many more will just as soon tell you those sparkling red peppers you’re buying in early July surely did come from their own fields, picked by their own hands.

It’s created animosity and accusations that are not just bubbling in places like Peterbrough’s historic market, it’s downright boiled over there.

Romeyn Stevenson, owner of Ashburnham Farms near Peterborough, has been standing up to the farmers’ market board in Peterborough, according to the Metroland MyKawartha. He’s been selling his locally-raised beef and vegetables at the market for almost eight years.

He is a member of a group of vendors who have hired a lawyer to represent them. They have banded together to reform the management and governance practices of the Peterborough District Farmers’ Market Association. Stevenson says the market needs to foster small farmers by limiting the number of booths given to larger vendors – many of which are suspected of reselling produce purchased at the Food Terminal – and craft vendors. Stevenson says this could encourage more people to farm if they have a place to sell their produce.

“In a perfect world (the market) should be operating within a 50-mile radius with farmers first and then others from outside,” says Stevenson.

In Belleville, most who have had market stalls for many years know who’s buying and re-selling too much produce from the Terminal as their own, but no one raises much of a fuss. There are the traditional, habitual offenders but the honest vendors are only too willing to boast about where, how and when they’ve grown their produce.

DISTRIBUTION MANAGER Paul Mitchell 613-966-2034, ext 508 SALES MANAGER Melissa Hudgin 613-966-2034, ext 504 ADVERTISING SALES Norah Nelson, 613-966-2034 ext 501 Michael Kelly, 613-966-2034 ext 506 Morgan Scott, 613-966-2034 ext 518

More should emulate their honesty.

Formally, Belleville Farmers Market was established in 1816.

In the market handbook, the “guidelines/rules and regulations stipulate: “The market will sell and promote local farm produce and food products for the benefit of the Belleville community, local farmers and businesses… offering seasonal, fresh, locally grown produce in a manner that supports and increases traffic for the Belleville Downtown businesses. The Belleville Farmers’ Market will be an important ecologically sound social and cultural addition to Belleville; a place for the local community to purchase locally produced products and to establish direct connections with the surrounding farming community.” (Italics are editor’s) And: “To create a place where local farmers can sell their produce and food products at prices which reflect the costs of production and a fair return for their efforts.” We assume that doesn’t mean loading the cube van with produce at the Ontario Food Terminal and building the cost of gas and a little bump for pure profit into the mix from a vendor who’s selling Leamington hot house tomatoes to you in June.

Market rules get murky, then, when the selection process for vendors includes the following rule: “The Belleville Farmers’ Market is producer-based; therefore, applicants selling goods which they have produced themselves will have priority. A producer may sell additional produce grown by a relative, a neighbour farmer or an approved association or farm. Absolutely no peddlers will be allowed in the Market.”

Sure, there’s a little wiggle room, but do all vendors on the market adhere to the policy that says: “At a MINIMUM, 65 % of all produce/ product sold is to be grown/made by the vendor and 100% is to be grown/produced in Ontario.”

(Emphasis by market rules handbook.)

In no way is this whole lesson intended to sully any of the mostly honest vendors out there.

But, sketchy practices have been around for long enough and consumers deserve to know better about where their produce is grown.

Do us all a favour, then, if you own a market stall wherever you set up, be it in a town or village market, on the roadside or on a street corner – be straight up with where that produce comes from.

If it’s all from your farm, or that of your uncle or neighbour, proudly post that where all can see it.

Otherwise, if we’re eating peaches in June, we sure as heck expect to see or be told where they come from.

only physical items in the search results.

In order to help us manage the transition to our new software, library materials checked out will not have due dates between September 9 and 15. We ask that customers do not return books during this time period or pay fines, renew books, or place holds if possible. This will help ensure a smooth transition to the new system. Regular checkouts at the circulation desk will continue during this time.

Also note that, between September 10 and 14, customers will not have access to the library web catalogue, the “my account” online services, online item renewal and holds, or the telephone renewal system. Also during this period, holds will not expire and no notices will be sent out by phone, email or mail. All of the holds, current checkouts, “my list” data, and fines owed on our customers’ cards should not be affected and will transfer over to the new system. Also, the Overdrive and Hoopla digital download services will not be affected and should still be available throughout the transition. Customers can continue to use our online services such as the web catalogue and online holds and renewals starting September 15.

The new software will allow us to offer new features to our customers. These include: enhanced email notice options and email checkout receipts, SMS text notification options to have notices for holds and overdues sent directly to a cell phone, an option to keep a history of the items checked out on a customer’s card, and the ability to set up family groups of cards so that parents can easily see overdue items and fines owed on their children’s cards.

Please phone, email, or visit us if you have any questions about the new system, or if you require assistance when the new system comes into effect on September 15.

We thank you for your patience during this transition.

We are pleased to announce some exciting changes to the library computer systems at Belleville Public Library.

These changes will allow us to be efficient and cost-effective with our service delivery while offering more online features for our customers.

Quinte West Public Library and Belleville Public Library, which together form the Hastinet Automation Cooperative, have joined the Ontario Library Consortium (OLC). This consortium consists of 28 library systems located across southern Ontario. It includes over 150 branch libraries serving approximately 8% of Ontario residents.

Prince Edward County Public Library, Brighton Public Library, and Lennox and Addington County Library are also members of OLC. The consortium allows libraries to share resources and save money by pooling our buying power.

On September 15, 2017, we will start using our new Integrated Library System (ILS) software. This new system is called Symphony and it is cloud-based. This will save a large amount of staff time and money that would otherwise be spent maintaining and regularly replacing costly server hardware. Our patron and library collection data will be stored on an outside server located in Montreal, making it easier to protect, manage and maintain our systems data. This change will lead to a significant reduction in time spent on systems management for both Library staff and City IT support technicians.

Please note that there will be significant changes to the look, feel, and function of our online public library catalogue and “my account” services, starting on September 15. For example, item information from our digital collections, hoopla and Overdrive, will be displayed in real time in our online library catalogue. If customers do not wish Trevor Pross is the CEO of Belleville Public Library and to see these digital titles when searching for items in our catalogue, there will be filtering options that will display John M.

City on track to receive more Via trains

Tall ship drops anchor in Belleville Belleville’s Meyer’s Pier has had an unexpected guest this month. The STV Pathfinder, one of Canada’s oldest tall ships, had been docked along the waterfront, since early August, while the ship’s skipper worked on some repairs. The ship is used by Toronto Brigantine Inc. to offer character-building sail training programs for youth. The ship is 18.23 metres in length and was built in 1963 in Kingston.

Belleville – City officials hope to work with Via Rail to bring more trains in and out of the city; a move they hope will boost tourism and encourage more business growth.

Mayor Taso Christopher and Coun. Egerton Boyce met with Via President and CEO Yves Desjardins-Siciliano during a trip to Ottawa for the recent Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference.

Christopher said it was a productive talk, and the Belleville delegation learned more about Via’s plan to get more trains on the tracks, through the entire Quebec City to Windsor corridor.

“There’s a lot of moving parts on this,” said Christopher, explaining that the Via will have to expand its infrastructure to make the plan possible.

But he’s confident, in the future, Via trains will stop in Belleville more frequently to bring visitors in – whether for business or for tourism – and to allow Belleville residents better access to other parts of the region.

“If this falls into place, we’ll benefit from more frequent stops,” Boyce said.

Christopher added that Desjardins-Siciliano was well aware that Belleville is about to become a professional hockey centre with the new Belleville Senators franchise, and that more frequent trains to the city would benefit travelling hockey fans.

Via is also aware that more frequent stops would benefit Prince Edward County’s booming tourism industry, the mayor said.

Rogers Hometown Hockey is a show that takes place with broadcasts of NHL games, usually on Sunday nights. It’s hosted by the iconic Hockey Night in Canada host Ron MacLean.

The show intends to celebrate the return of high-level hockey to Belleville, with the new Belleville Senators AHL franchise.

It’s a big opportunity to promote the city, as Hometown Hockey broadcasts have audiences of 500,000 to 1 million viewers, council learned in a report.

The broadcast usually coincides with a festival, which could attract up to 10,000 people and have an economic impact of $1 million.

The city may incur some expenses, such as setting up lighting, barricades, supplementary power, etc. but no exact budget is known yet.

Belleville’s recreation director Mark Fluhrer spoke about the opportunity and said it will provide an opportunity to promote minor hockey and host “a lot of other cool things.”

Council approved a plan to work on a letter of intent indicating their support of the project to Rogers. The plan is expected to be finalized at a later council meeting.

Mayor Taso Christopher expressed his excitement about the announcement at Monday’s council meeting.

He noted that Rogers contacted Belleville about the opportunity; a positive sign that Belleville is a respected hockey community.

Belleville – The Hastings County Historical Society is chugging along in its plan to place more historical plaques through the city.

The society unveiled its fourth new plaque of the summer on Wednesday, Aug. 23.

This one, placed on the outside wall of the Belleville Club at Pinnacle and Bridge streets, honours the former Pinnacle Street Railway.

From 1877, trains carried freight and passengers along Pinnacle Street from Belleville Harbour to the Grand Trunk Station and beyond to Peterborough. It was part of the Grand Junction Railway. The last train operated on the line

in 1964.

The plaque unveiling was the fourth in three months, as previous plaques were dedicated to the former Front Street Fire Hall, Simpson’s Tavern, the Griffin Opera House and The Great Belleville Floods.

The final plaque of the series will be unveiled on Sept. 28 at a 2 p.m. at Moira Street West and Yeomans Street. It will commemorate the 10,000 impoverished or orphaned British Home Children, who were brought to Belleville between 1875 and 1925 for placement as farm workers or domestics.

Cindy Nelles plays in three World Cup games, finishes with one try

Belleville – Belleville native Cindy Nelles contributed to Canada’s fifthplace finish at the Women’s Rugby World Cup in Ireland this summer, which concluded for Canada with a 43-12 victory over Australia on Saturday.

Nelles, a Belleville Bulldogs Rugby Club alumni who went on to star for McMaster University, was playing in her second World Cup. She was part of Canada’s silver-medal winning team at the 2014 World Cup in France, when she joined the team as an injury replacement.

Nelles played second row and finished the tournament with one try.

She also had an outstanding 96 per cent tackle success rate, the tournament’s website showed. She also had 12 caries over gain line and carried the ball for a total of 71 metres.

Yet strangely – and this puzzles many local fans – she only played in three games.

Nelles suited up and contributed to Canada’s 98-0 rout over Hong Kong in the tournament opener.

But she didn’t play in subsequent games against Wales, a 15-0 win for Canada, and New Zealand, a 48-5 loss that eliminated Canada’s chanc-

Province pledges money to Vantage Foods, Redpath Sugar to feed economy

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – The provincial government hopes financial commitments to Belleville industries Vantage Foods Inc. and Redpath Sugar Ltd. will feed the economy.

Northumberland-Quinte West Member of Provincial Parliament Lou Rinaldi visited the city Thursday, Aug. 24 to announce commitments to the two large employers located in the Northeast Industrial Park, which, combined, are expected to lead to about 80 new jobs.

Vantage Foods will receive $1.5 million from the Eastern Ontario Development Fund to help with an expansion that will nearly double the size of its Jamieson Bone Road facility. Vantage Foods is spending $16,537,3255 on the project, which has a total value of $18,037,325. Vantage announced Thursday it will be adding seafood packaging to its activities in Belleville, requiring the expansion for a separate facility for seafood apart from the meat packaging operations.

Redpath will receive $624,263 from the development fund. It’s spending $4,577,929 of its own money to upgrade its University Avenue location, with new customized packaging lines and equipment. The province’s commitment brings the project’s total to $5,202,192.

“This is a fantastic day for Belleville,” said Lou Rinaldi, during a ceremony at Vantage Foods. “Some would call this corporate welfare; I call it corporate job creation.”

He also said that perceptions that it’s all “doom and gloom” in Ontario’s manufacturing sector are false.

“These are companies that put their best foot forward,” he said.

Though Rinaldi doesn’t represent Belleville at Queen’s Park, he’s the nearest MPP from the ruling

Liberal government and he typically comes to the city for funding announcements. PC MPP Todd was not at Thursday’s ceremony.

Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher was also on hand, to thank the province for investing in the city, and to praise the work of the benefiting companies.

“Our industrial park is the engine of our community,” he said. “Today’s announcement is phenomenal.

When there’s business growth, there’s economic growth and that’s paramount to Eastern Ontario.”

The Eastern Ontario Development Fund and the Southwest Ontario Development Fund have helped create and retain about 40,600 jobs and attract about $2 billion in investment, since 2013, the Ontario government says.

The funds cover up to 15 per cent of eligible projects costs, with the recipient company funding the remainder from its own resources.

Vantage Foods is a food processing and distribution company, which cuts and packages meat products, so they’re ready to sell at grocery stores.

The expansion plan will allow the Belleville plant to expand its operations to begin cutting and packaging seafood, explained Vantage Foods general manager Alan Cook.

The expansion is expected to be complete by the spring of 2018 and lead to 70 to 80 new jobs. The expansion will add about 45,000 square feet to the facility, which is now 53,000 square feet. The business currently has about 200 employees.

The Redpath upgrades will allow the company to add “innovative, new pouch-packaging capabilities,” the government said.

That project is expected to create 10 new jobs and help the company retain 101 existing positions. It’s ex- Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi speaks at a funding annoucepected to be complete by late 2019. ment for Vantage Foods, outside the Belleville plan, on Aug. 24.

Wanted man ‘Richie’ Vader back behind bars

BY SUE DICKENS, STEPHEN PETRICK

ment to his ankle – one of the OPP canine dogs reportedly bit him while he was on the loose and he may require stitches.

It will also allow time for police and the courts to get a better grasp on all the charges, Kort said.

He suspects most of the “violent” charges have been laid by police already, but there could be additional charges related to thefts.

By Thursday, “all the charges will be before the courts and we’ll know how we want to proceed,” Kort told Metroland Media, outside the courtroom.

As Vader appeared via video in front of Justice Sam Cureatz, he appeared tired and scruffy. Yet he understood the court proceedings and was given conditions to not contact two people, whose names are protected by a publication ban.

Kort said that Vader has agreed to be detained while the matter plays out in court.

He declined to shed light on conversations he’s had with his client, but said he expects the court proceedings to be complex, given that Vader is expected to soon be facing a long list of charges.

“It will take a while,” he said.

Belleville – The Trenton man who eluded local police for four days while on the run from what police allege was a violent encounter with his former girlfriend, was brought to ground Saturday night and appeared in court Monday, Aug. 28.

Richard “Richie” Vader had dodged police in a mad scramble to avoid capture since last Wednesday when police went after him in Quinte West to arrest him on an assault charge.

Ontario Provincial Police had their Repeat Offender ROPE squad on the case, canine and ERT specialists, a helicopter and more in the hunt for Vader, who has a long criminal record and was on parole for gun charges on which he was convicted in 2011.

Vader was the focus of an extensive search that went from Quinte West to Thursday Campbellford, on to Stirling-Rawdon, into and out of the city of Belleville and finally ended when the OPP canine unit ran him down in a field outside the hamlet of Wallbridge, in Quinte West.

Vader had the town of Campbellford virtually on lockdown when he crashed a stolen vehicle near the World’s Finest chocolate factory, fleeing on foot into the brush and toward Ferris Provincial Park last Thursday. When night closed in he had still not be located and later police said Vader made his way to a farm south of Ferris Provincial Park where he allegedly stole an ATV. That ATV was then recovered (still running) in a field in the Hoards Station area of Stirling/Rawdon. He then stole a truck, police said. By Saturday morning, he had made his wayinto Belleville, where he once again stayed ahead of police who had spotted him in the city limits.

“The domestic related charges that he is wanted for stem from an incident in the Quinte West area as well as several other charges incurred recently,” said Const.. Stephen Bates, media relations officer with the Northumberland OPP. Social media postings have kept Vader’s pursuit alive on the Internet. (See sidebar) Vader appeared for a brief arraignment hearing, via Richard Vader, 33, right, and his ‘Cover photo’ from social video, at a Belleville court on Monday, Aug. 28.

His lawyer, Pieter Kort, asked for the case to return to media posts shortly after he was released from jail in 2016 after serving time for gun-related offences. court Thursday, Aug. 31.

Vader is no stranger to jail – or guns

BY CHRIS MALETTE

Richard Allen “Richie” Vader has a long criminal history, not the least of which involves a serious arrest in 2010 for possession of a small arsenal of weapons while he was restricted from so much as owning a BB gun.

His criminal past goes a long way to explaining why OPP pulled out all the stops to bring him to ground over the past week, using SWAT style teams, dogs and helicopters in the hunt.

Vader’s latest major criminal run-in came in 2010 when he was arrested while living in Cobourg for possessing an array of firearms and knives.

During a routine traffic stop for a burned-out headlight, in October, 2010, police stumbled on what would turn out to be a large cache of weapons and ammunition in Vader’s possession and in a later search of his home.

During the stop, an officer noticed a metal ammunition box on the passenger floor, checked the box and found it was full of shotgun shells, said police. A subsequent search of the truck revealed three shotguns, four rifles, a revolver, more

than 322 rounds of ammunition and two knives.

At the time, police said Vader, was arrested and, when they later searched his apartment, they seized a “fully-loaded revolver, ten boxes of assorted ammunition and seven more knives. At the time, he was under a court order not to possess weapons.

The manhunt for Vader, now 33, was reminiscent of the spree almost 20 years ago when the infamous Ty Conn, who in

1999 managed to be one of very few criminals to escape from Kingston Penitentiary, stole vehicles in the Oak Hills area (near where he grew up on what is now Foxboro-Stirling Road) while on the run.

Conn, a repeat offender and bank robber, eventually made his way to Toronto while on the lam and either killed himself or was shot in a basement apartment while police surrounded his location. His death was subject of books and a television documentary at the time, but while

Woman pleads guilty to animal cruelty involving horse NORTHUMBERLAND NEWS

Brighton - A Brighton woman has pleaded guilty to one count of animal cruelty after investigators discovered an Arabian horse in distress at her property.

On March 26, 2016, an Ontario SPCA agent responded to a call about a German shepherd type dog with a serious facial injury.

An inspection of a property led the agent to find several dogs and horses at a Brighton property.

On May 27 of that year Linda Reddall, of Brighton, was charged with six counts of animal cruelty under the Ontario SPCA Act. The charges include two counts of permitting distress to an animal, two counts of failing to comply with standards of care — fail to provide adequate and appropriate medical attention, and two counts of failing to comply with standards of care — fail to provide care necessary for their general welfare.

On June 19, 2017, Reddall pleaded guilty to one count of permitting an animal to be in distress.

According to the OSPCA, Reddall, as an owner or custodian of an animal, did permit one Arabian type horse named Daisy to be in distress.

The horse was examined by a veterinarian and found to have a Body Condition Score (BCS) of 1 out of 9, rain rot on her back, severe dental issues, 10 times the normal parasite load and a grade 2 systolic heart murmur due to malnutrition.

Due to the severity of her health, Daisy was humanely euthanized under recommendations from the veterinarian.

Reddall was sentenced and is prohibited from owning or caring for any equine until such time as equine training courses are successfully completed as offered by the University of Guelph.

She is also prohibited for a period of two years from owning, caring for or living with more than six canine animals.

On July 31 of this year Reddall surrendered 11 horses and one German shepherd type dog into the care of the Northumberland Humane Society.

“There is no excuse to let an animal go without proper veterinary medical attention,” said Kate Lennan, the general manager of the Northumberland Humane Society. “If you are unable to provide care for your animal, please contact the Northumberland Humane Society to discuss available options.”

It is important to report animal cruelty by calling 310-SPCA.

Dirt biker dies after collision north of Havelock BILL FREEMAN

Havelock – A 36-year-old Scarborough off-road rider was killed after colliding with a tree on Devil’s 4 Mile Road about nine kilometers northeast of Havelock on Aug. 27.

Peterborough County OPP say that a group of off-road riders were travelling together along Devil’s 4 Mile Road and after arriving at their destination discovered that one member of the group was not there. Two members of the group retraced their route and discov-

ered their missing friend along the side of the gravel road.

The rider, David Spiecher, 36, of Scarborough was taken to Campbellford Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The accident occurred around 2 p.m.

Sunday afternoon.

Devil’s 4 Mile Road was closed for several hours Sunday while OPP investigators measured and documented the scene.

The cause of the collision is still under investigation.

A glimpse of the Group of Seven in Havelock BILL FREEMAN

Havelock– Children here have been travelling around the country – without leaving the library – thanks to the magic of books and stories.

The summer reading program celebrating Canada's 150th birthday has been teaching kids in HavelockBelmont-Methuen about the country.

Their most recent stop “stop” was the far north.

This bit of northern exposure was courtesy of local artist Sheila Johnston who gave them a glimpse of the majestic work of the Group of Seven and, in particular, its leader and financier Lawren Harris.

Johnston wanted to help the children understand “how important the Group of Seven was to Canadian culture.” She helped them create their own Group of Seven-inspired painting.

“There’s something about his paintings that are just glorious,” she says of Harris, the scion of the wealthy Harris Manufacturing clan. Harris’s paintings, particularly his northern landscapes, are vivid and defiantly modern and reflect some of things he absorbed during extended visits to Berlin.

“He went back to Europe a few times but he said he hated it because it was too crowded. He liked being up north in the wilderness.”

Harris eventually severed his connection to the affluent and bohemian Toronto arts world he helped establish, moving first to the United States then Mexico and later to Vancouver while his work grew in stature.

Harris died in 1970 at age of 84. His paintings have sold for record prices most notably 'Mountain Forms' which sold for $11.2 million in 2016.

Canada didn’t have a real painting heritage until the Group of Seven, Johnston says. Artists painting just before them often mimicked established styles.

“That’s what people did. They copied. (The Group of Seven) was a real break in terms of style and subject.”

Johnston is inspired by their tradition if not their style.

“It gives be a sense of place and I’m just proud.

They did beautiful work," she said. adding it's important "that we remember we are Canadian

Quinte area will have a better view of 2024 eclipse

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – If you enjoyed the spectacle of the Aug. 21, 2017 eclipse, mark the date of April 8 in your 2024 calendar.

That’s the date of the next significant eclipse to pass through North America and for the 2024 edition, the path of totality, as the complete eclipse is known, will pass directly through the Quinte region.

The Aug. 21 eclipse’s path of totality passed through a stretch of the United States, from northern Oregon to South Carolina. In places along that path, news footage showed, darkness fell suddenly over the sky for a few minutes, giving cheering spectators a view of an awesome phenomenon ¬– one not rivalled on the continent since a similar event in 1979.

But, eclipse fans in Belleville on Aug. 21 saw only a partial eclipse, as the moon only partially covered the sun when the eclipse hit its maximum at 2:34 p.m. Although some observed a faint drop in temperature, there was no obvious difference in the surrounding sky.

On April 8, 2024, the eclipse’s path of totality is expected to travel north in a path that will take it over major U.S. cities such as Dallas, Indianapolis, Cleveland and Buffalo. Toronto will be on the outskirts of the path of totality, but the Quinte region will be right in the path, according to several Internet sources.

The path will continue to travel through major centres in Quebec and the Maritimes, including Sherbrook and Fredericton.

If the interest in the Aug. 21 event is any indication ¬ ¬– and if it turns out be a clear day ¬– the 2024 event will get plenty of people outside to witness the rare sight.

A viewing party at Belleville’s Market Square on Aug. 21, organized by the Belleville Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, drew hundreds of people, who starred into the sky through telescopes, special glasses and even homemade devices.

“I expected 20 to 30 people,” said Donald Town, who organized the event, as a lineup of people gathered around his telescope. “Looking around, I’m seeing close to 500.”

Top: Anthony Wilkins stares into a telescope at Belleville’s Market Square on Aug. 21 to see the eclipse. “It was cool,” he said.

Bottom: Stuart Chalk and Roseann Olinyk try an interesting experiment with binoculars to see if they can get an image of the eclipse, as it passed over the Belleville sky.

A day of relaxation at Grafton’s popular Ste. Anne’s Spa

BY JOHN M. SMITH

613-969-8884

TICO#50023382

Our children gave us a wonderful gift of a relaxing day in the country at Ste. Anne’s Spa in Grafton, Ontario. Our all-inclusive package included the entire day at the spa, with a choice of treatments and group wellness classes, including yoga, meditation, hiking, and/or a stretch class. It also included the use of its saunas, pools, steam rooms, and relaxation lounges. Therefore, we could choose to be as active as we wished, or simply chill out, relax, and rejuvenate.

Our day trip allowed us to arrive anytime after 8 am and to check out any time before 6 pm, so it’s definitely a full day. The package included a 3-course lunch and afternoon tea (and the tea session is more like another meal). It also included a choice of spa services, so my wife decided to try the 45 minute Minerva Aqua Polish, a treatment that began with a hydrotherapeutic massage and continued with a skin exfoliation and refinement using Dead Sea salts, and concluded with the application of hydrating lotions. I opted for the 1 hour Pure Aroma Massage, so my therapist prepared a customized blend of aromatic There are walking trails on the property at Ste.

Plow judge says Hastings plowing match one of the best

BY JACK EVANS

Quinte West - Though 300 exhibitors for just about from jewellery to clothing, boots and food booths dotted the acreage at a farm here, from, the real work went on in a far corner, just an arrow’s shot away from a busy Highway 401 with traffic roaring by unknowing about the big scene.

Typical of the season, a downpour of rain the previous day and night left plenty of muddy tracks despite efforts to cover it with fill, especially on opening day Wednesday. And to reinforce its point, the rain came back with another brief downpour in the middle of the afternoon. Despite that though, Thursday’s main roads and streets through the exhibitors village were much dryer.

One man who had little time to take in the glitz of the exhibitors was Dale Drake from the hamlet of Woodville, near Lindsay. A man “born to the plow” he participated in plowing matches for many years, but for the past several years, because of failing health, he has been a judge.

“The only similar event bigger than this in Ontario is the annual International Plowing Match,” he affirmed with some knowledge. ‘This draws a strong interest by horse-drawn plows and plowmen from across Ontario.”

He assessed the field on the Sandercock farm as “quite good” for plowing conditions, but he added: “I feel sorry for the young people plowing up at the top. There’s a lot of rock up there.” That area was also used by media, senior and politician competitors during the event.

Interest by today’s farming in the actual plowing

Kids play some games in one of the many tents set up at the plowing match last week.

Jack Evans/Metroland

competitions is waning , he acknowledged, as he reviewed his score chart on a patch of plowing.

But as long as there is a plowing match somewhere in Ontario, he remains game to be “outstanding in his field” with score chart and pen.

Also enthusiastic about the event was Winston Roberts of Toronto. Roberts may be a big city man,

Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates

but he learned plowing and all other farm skills when his Irish grandparents bought a farm near Toronto when they came here. “It was just like being a hired hand,” he said of his youth-hood at his grandparents farm, ”only it was free labour.”

As he tucked away his tractor and plow on a trailer and prepared to head to Ottawa for yet another

plowing match, Roberts reflected on the Trenton event. “I’ve done better and I’ve done worse.”

He added: “There are 18 different points of judging, including straightness, depth, not too deep, not too shallow, no tractor tire marks where they shouldn’t be and more.” He noted that the huge field being used was once many small fields and the old fence rows underneath can cause a lot of problems, even heavy combining equipment going over it.

Even under normal conditions, the plow blades get bounced around and must be readjusted every other furrow or so.

He agreed that interest in the plowing competitions is waning, mostly because of the current trend toward “no till” farming. It helps conserve the soil, saves a lot of time for various processes to plow, disc and harrow and also extra equipment. But there remains a tradition across the province for most counties to hold their own separate plowing matches with participants eligible to enter the all Ontario, also called “International” plowing match.

Surprisingly, the Hastings event drew a good number of horse-drawn entries and traditionally, always has. This year’s roster included a team of mules, recently purchased in Tennessee. Their proud youthful teamster, Trevor Boutilier of Belleville, said; “This is my first time to plow with mules, but I’ve used Belgians before. I think mules can outwork horses.”

One particularly proud competitor was Dan Sandercock on whose family farm the event was being held for the second time. At the age of 90, he placed first in the senior plowman category, using his own antique tractor and antique plow.

There’s more to plowing than making a furrow

BY JACK EVANS

Quinte West - If you turn over a patch of soil with a plow, you make a furrow.

But, competitors in plowing matches know there are furrows and then there are furrows.

Plowing competition enthusiast Winston Roberts comes from Toronto, but his Irish immigrant grandparents bought a farm near Toronto when they came and that’s where he spent his youthful years.

It’s also where he learned to plow and do all other sorts of farm chores. “It was just like being a hired hand only free labour,” he quipped.

As he tucked away his plow and tractor on a trailer and prepared to leave for the next plowing match near Ottawa, he reflected that this year’s match near Trenton was a pretty good one for him. “I’ve done better and I’ve done worse,” he said.

“There are 18 different judging points to consider and you never know what’s under the ground when you start to plow.”

He explained that the original fields were small in acreage, but with fence rows now ripped out, the hard-packed remains underneath can mess up a furrow easily. Or packed-down patches from heavy equipment.

Even normal soil conditions mean plow

blades get bounced around and have to be readjusted every other furrow or so.

Judges will note whether the furrow is dead straight, not too deep, not too shallow, no tire tracks where they shouldn’t be and various other points in the 18 points of judging.

Most of those participating admit that regular plowing competition interest seems to be dying off. At one time, every county in Ontario held its own local plowing match with participants then eligible to enter the all Ontario match. But, modern “no-till” farming methods designed to enhance conservation and save time and money on extra equipment have meant regular plowing is not used so much.

“No-till is killing regular plowing,” said Roberts. Plus, there is less interest in general by working farmers, especially younger ones.

Despite being a Torontonian, Robert said he loves the plowing competitions and does it as a “hobby.” He is a member of both the Ontario Antique Tractor Plowmen’s Association and the Ontario Plowmen’s Association.

He usually takes part in several plowing matches across Ontario every year. He has also competed in the Prairie provinces and the east coast.

Winston Roberts, a Toronto resident with a farming background, says he now takes part in several plowing matches a year “as a hobby.”

Families encouraged to boost veggies and fruit intake The Healthy Kids Community Challenge Hastings Prince Edward will be encouraging local families to Choose to Boost Veggies and Fruit this fall, and emphasizing the importance of making vegetables and fruits part of their diet every day.

Whether fresh, frozen, or canned, vegetables and fruit help provide children and families with the vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and overall energy needed to be physically active and stay healthy, say people behind the challenge.

HKCC HPE will be coordinating several local programs and activities that will encourage families in Hastings and Prince Edward counties to include more vegetables and fruit in every meal and snack.

Some of these activities include: - Activities in local elementary schools to highlight Veggie and Fruit Month this October.

- Increasing the capacity of the local Good Food Box; this program provides fresh veggies and fruit at a fraction of the retail cost.

- The Leaders of Change initiative, which aims to recognize local organizations that make it easier

for families to access healthier food and beverages.

Choose to Boost Veggies and Fruit is the third phase of the Healthy Kids Community Challenge, which promotes healthy eating, physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices for children.

As part of the first theme of the HKCC HPE, Run. Jump. Play. Every Day., workshops were held to train teachers on the importance of physical literacy in the early years. As part of the second theme, Water Does Wonders, local organizations were able to apply for water stations to help increase access to water throughout our community.

Encouraging kids to stay active and healthy is part of the government’s plan to build a better Ontario through its Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care, which provides patients with faster access to the right care; better home and community care; the information they need to live well; and a health care system that is sustainable for generations to come.

The Good Earth

Odds & Sods – Farewell Gentle Readers

By Dan Clost (Editor’s Note – Dan Clost has decided to hang up his quill and get back to his roots, so to speak, and branch out in other directions. Okay, enough puns. We want to thank Dan for his many years of timely, informative, humorous columns on all things about The Good Earth and wish him well. Stay tuned for our new gardening columnist, appearing in the Sept. 7 edition.)

O&S #1 Trees and Grass If you live in a newer subdvision where you are establishing both a lawn and some future shade trees, you face a challenge. Often the top layer of soil has been scraped away and returned (reinstated would be the word on some contracts); however, the soil has very different properties. The many, many years of establishing various layers or zones have been nullified. Aeration is gone, the micro-organisms no longer have their preferred micro-zones, cation exchange capacity (one function is the ability of the sail to manage nutrients) and, perhaps the most important, drainage is seriously compromised. In short, you no longer have a vital soil; you possess a flattened pile of dirt with a big box on it.

Growing grass in these conditions is relatively easy: lots and lots of water. Unfortunately, this is an expensive way to successfully drown any newly planted trees surrounded by the sward. What often occurs, and this observation is a direct result of many “tree checks” that I have carried over the years, is that the only loose soil on a subdivision’s property is the hole into which the tree was planted. Because of the poor drainage, this hole

will become saturated as excess water collects during lawn irrigation.

There are many options but here is my suggestion.

Let’s suppose you want five mature maples and you are budgeting $500.00 per tree spread over five years. This is a very common plan. Buy the smallest trees you can afford...to look at. So, five trees at $100.00 each is the better option. A smaller tree will establish itself much more quickly than a larger tree; it will use less water; and, if it does succumb, you’ve minimized your loss.

O&S#2 Top 5 facts about The Good Earth colon 1. First Column- 12 May 98 all about bugs.

2. Last Column- 31 Aug 17 final word about trees and grass 3. In between- 962 newspaper columns, 45 features, 1 book (2 printings) 6 newspapers, 4 magazines, 2 scientific journals, 28 known websites, 2 writing awards, and 11 editors.

4. Reasons for writing column-, to encourage everyone to walk softly on this good earth, which sustains and nurtures us all, to remind readers of the science and art of horticulture; and, to share the passion and privilege of gardening with you, Gentle Reader.

5. What I will miss the most- our conversations.

O&S#3 Best Questions My pickup truck can hold two cubic yards, how much mulch can I put in it? (2.5, if you want to use the space behind the passenger seat) Does this red rose come in any other colour? (No, only the white ones do.)

How often do I need to mow my ornamental grass garden? (Thanks to Nathan McCormick for this answer: once a week.) What’s the name of the plant with blue flowers at my grandmother’s house, the ones beside the back steps? (Not sure, what was your grandmother’s name, again?) Here’s a picture of a swarm of bugs. I poured gas on them and lit them on fire. What were they? (Ladybug larva) O&S#4 Is the end of The Good Earth?

No, Gentle Reader, it is not. Definitely there will be a hiatus in writing and it is unlikely that I will pen a weekly column in the future. However, I have many projects in mind including a book of poetry in lines similar to Piet Hein’s Grooks under the pen name The Haiku Hortulan. An amazing local filmmaker is producing a documentary about an exceptional gardening business and I have the privilege (and challenge) of composing some of the background music.

O&S#5 Thank you to...

My first note goes to my family who have encouraged me over the years. My second goes to all of the professionals and gifted amateurs who I pestered for advice during all of the years. The third and final thank you is for you, Gentle Reader. It has been my privilege to chat with you, Walk softly, Dan

Kraft Village Since 1986

BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County Planning Committee last week approved two large lot separations in Tyendinaga Township, but not without prolonged discussion and stiff opposition by a neighbour farmer.

Resident Oliver Haan opposed the lot separations proposed by his neighbour on grounds that it could interfere with his family’s right to continue farming. He accepted setbacks the province considers adequate, but will probably still lead to friction with his swine operation. But he is particularly concerned with water quantity.

“We sit on top of a limestone shelf and we have seen other incidents in the neighbourhood of new dwellings overloading the water source,” he said.

He stressed, “I’m not talking about my future.

My children are here and they are interested in keeping the farm going. It is their future that is at stake.”

He reminded the committee of council as a whole that protecting “right to farm” is entrenched in its policies, but they don’t seem to stick. He said real farmers across Hastings County are all “frustrated” at the lack of protection for their right to make a living. Newcomers from the city continue to threaten and complain about nearby farming practices, cattle getting out and more.

His remarks drew support from several members who suggested hydrological studies to analyse the water table and registering a warning on the deeds about right-to-farm protection.

Planning chief Justin Harrow, said the size of the two lots at over four acres each, negates the water source threat and a hydrology study could cost thousands of dollars. Other members figured

it could trigger a policy commitment to have studies done on all lot separations at tremendous cost.

Both lots have tested and approved drilled wells; the land involved is not prime agriculture, but marginal and the extra setbacks meet right to farm specifications, members figured.

In another land division hearing, Haan himself was applying to separate an existing house from a portion of his land. That was approved with little comment.

Much of the meeting also involved the county’s economic development department. Director, Andrew Redden, reported on various new developments and procedures following a consultant’s study.

Director of Planning and Development Justin Harrow also announced that because of the increasing activity in economic development, “I want a meeting set aside just for economic development. We will hold a special meeting on Oct. 27 following the regular meeting of county council.” That too was approved.

Dates for public meetings for input on the county’s new Official Plan were also announced.

The first will be Monday, Aug. 28 from 9:30 a.m. through noon at the Hastings Highlands Municipal Offices at 33011 Highway 62 at Maynooth.

Wednesday, Aug. 30 is 3 p.m. to 5 p,n, and 6 ti 8 p.m. at the Dungannon Recreation Centre at L’Amable. Thursday, Aug. 31 the sessions move to Tyendinaga Township Rec Centre from 3 to 5 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. and finally, Tuesday Sept. 5 from 3 to 5 and 6 to 8 p.m. in Township of Madoc Hall, 15651, Highway 62.

Harrow also announced full details on the plan on the county’s website plus input through that means.

Worrisome night for Campbellford residents

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – Elderly neighbours in Campbellford breathed a sigh of relief at news of the arrest of fugitive Richard Vader last Saturday.

Two women who live in Campellford, near where Vader had fled from police last Wednesday, said they felt lucky to have made it through the night without mishap.

Marlene Harris and Judith Wilkinson said they saw the police cruisers and heavily armed officers on their street, which leads to one end of nearby Ferris Provincial Park, and there was a helicopter overhead.

At first they had no idea what was happening.

“I had been watching the police helicopter circle around Ferris and I thought ‘well there’s something going on,’ but we were all in awe and didn’t know what was happening, and that’s worse because your mind starts playing tricks.”

MARLENE HARRIS, CAMPBELLFORD RESIDENT

They were later told, by an OPP officer to: “Go in your house and lock the doors. Somebody has escaped and is up here to do harm.”

Wilkinson’s reaction when told was, “Oh my gosh here I am in the middle of this, gotta shut everything down, close my drapes and lock my doors. . . . I phoned my friends and told them what was going on in case anything happened.”

Harris took the same precautions.

According to police Vader made his way to a farm south of Ferris Provincial Park where he stole an ATV. That ATV was later recovered (still running) in a field in the Hoards Station area of StirlingRawdon. Police allege Vader then stole a truck to further his escape, Judith Wilkinson, left, with her dog Billie, and her neighbour Marlene Harris, with Teddy, both live near Ferris Park in then into its third day.

He was eventually arrested in the Wallbridge area of Quinte West, Campellford, where the manhunt for Richard Vader was happening.

Local teacher’s union won’t support controversial Sir John A. motion

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville - The local ETFO President says he won’t support his own union’s motion to call for the renaming of schools named after Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister.

Dave Henderson, the president of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario’s Hastings-Prince Edward chapter, spoke about the issue with the Belleville News, days after the union made headlines for the motion, passed at its recent Annual General Meeting.

“The people who put this motion forward talked about it being about reconciliation,” he said. “But reconciliation is about forgiveness and moving forward.

This is about finding scapegoats.”

The official statement, released by the ETFO on Aug. 24, says “the motion recognizes that Macdonald has been celebrated based on an incomplete version of Canadian history. As a central architect of the Indian Act and residential schools, Macdonald played a key role in developing systems that perpetuated genocide against Indigenous people.

“Passing this motion recognizes the impact this history has on all of our students, but specifically on Indigenous students, parents and educators.”

The motion plays on the momentum going in the southern United States, where there’s new and intense discussion about removing statues of Confederate heroes, given that many of them fought for slavery and don’t properly pay tribute to African American’s contributions to the country.

The same issue was at the heart of the recent violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Henderson was at the meeting and voted against the Sir John A. Macdonald move.

He said it was passed towards the end of the day when many delegates had left. Despite that, he recognized that a clear majority were in favour of it. But, he told the union’s president he would not support the motion publicly.

Henderson also wrote to Hastings Prince Edward District School Board officials and asked them to ignore any calls to action as a result of this motion.

That likely means there won’t be a push to name the Sir John A. Macdonald School, an elementary school located in Belleville’s west end.

Henderson, who teaches history at the senior elementary level, says he’s in favour of teaching Canadian history truthfully “warts and all” but he feels a more appropriate way to better honour Indigenous communities would be to make an effort to name more schools after important First Nations leaders.

The local chapter put out its own press release late Friday saying Section B - Thursday, August 31, 2017 B13

Sir John A. Macdonald School in Belleville is shown here.

Stephen Petrick/Metroland

“This motion is not in the spirit of reconciliation or the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission on residential schools. While it is an historical fact that Sir John A.’s government carried out a policy which ultimately was judged a failure and which left First Nations communities badly damaged, it is also true that all successive governments until the 1990s continued this policy.

That list contains other prime ministerial giants such as Laurier, Borden, Mackenzie King, and Pierre Trudeau. That is a lot of renaming to do.”

Henderson told Belleville News he’s

also concerned about how the story is impacting ETFO’s brand. He’s been reading online comments on the issue and observed that “99 to 1” seem to be against it.

He said the motion will have to stand until next year’s AGM, when union members could potentially vote to rescind it.

However, he’s not worried it will lead to significant change, as the renaming of a school is a very public process that would involve input from trustees and the public.

“I would think if trustees polled the public they’d find people don’t have an appetite for it,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Hastings

Prince Edward District School Board is staying clear of the issue for now.

“We are aware of a resolution that the provincial ETFO passed,” said the board’s communication director, Kerry Donnell, in a statement.

“We need to gather more information and connect with a number of different parties before any additional statements can be made, and that will take some time.”

Standing by for possible refugee influx

BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County has signalled its willingness to work with the federal government and other agencies to help shelter the increasing number of refugees, especially from Haiti, in recent days.

Emergency Medical Services Chief Doug Socha appeared at a meeting of the county’s finance committee meeting Thursday to report he had been contacted to prepare for further details should more space be needed, and added space at CFB Trenton might be considered. If it comes to that, he said the county might be needed for assistance by paramedics and ambulances, medical, public health and shelter participation.

As for the possibility of refugees being housed

at CFB Trenton in cadet training quarters or elsewhere, enquiries Tuesday showed there is little to no information forthcoming there.

Public affairs officials at 8 Wing said the official line from Ottawa’s National Defence HQ is as follows: “At this point there has been no formal demand to the Canadian Armed Forces, but we are working with our partners at Public Safety Canada in order to find alternative solutions if there are more asylum seekers than available lodging at the current sites. Right now we are conducting checks at various bases…”

Hastings County CAO Jim Pine said staff will be prepared if and when needed. Socha noted a meeting was scheduled for the following day to consider whether the base might in fact be needed.

Birthday wishes from around the globe

BY MELYSSA GLOUDE

Belleville - One lucky girl is going to have quite the birthday surprise, thanks to the help of social media.

Meet Sarah Doucette: a local 22-year-old media student and documentary filmmaker who just needed a birthday present for her younger sister, Hannah who will be turning 21 in September.

“Her birthday is coming up September 3, so I was trying to think about what I could get her or do for her. Our family is one to not go crazy on big purchases, but do more-so homemade stuff and get creative,” says Doucette.

“I don’t honestly know how the idea sort of struck me, I come from a background of film and TV so I thought maybe a video or something. So, I ended up having the idea of having people send in videos of themselves saying Happy Birthday Hannah from whatever country they’re from.”

According to Doucette, her sister Hannah, who is on the Autism spectrum, is in love with destinations.

“She loves people, and she loves different cultures -- she’s very curious and outgoing and she’s constantly talking about where she wants to travel, so I thought it would be a cool idea for her. She might love seeing all these different people from different places.”

Doucette says the amount of responses she has received has been completely unexpected.

“I wrote up a message and made a Facebook post, just thinking maybe that I’d get it in the local area or in some of the bigger cities like Toronto and Ottawa,” says Doucette.

“And then one thing led to another and the first video that I got was from Australia. My friends shared with their friends and the whole community sort of took it from there and it just blew up. The first ‘wow’ country I got was when

20-year-old Hannah Doucette and her sister, 22-year-old Sarah Doucette.

Submitted photo

I got one from Saudi Arabia. It’ really strange to think about how far it’s spread.”

Since the Facebook post, Doucette says that she’s received over 100 video submissions.

“I thought it might last a couple days, but I keep receiving videos daily, through the morning and the afternoon and into the night. My inbox is completely full.”

Doucette says her and her sister are extremely close, and this project was one way she could fulfil her sisters unwavering curiosity.

“Hannah has a very colourful personality. She is very social, I’d say, for someone with autism, with the limited social interactions. She’s very, very smart and very skilled with numbers and calendars. She’s actually a calendrical savant,” says Doucette.

“Mainly, she just loves travel.

That’s always something I’ve associated with her, she loves going to big cities, she loves meeting different people. As soon as I’m talking to someone she may not recognize,

she’ll ask them their name, where they’re from, when they were born.

She wants to know everything about them.”

Once the compilation video is complete, Doucette says she plants to upload it to YouTube for the unveiling.

“Once I have it finished, I’m going to put it on YouTube, and then from YouTube, I’m going to share it on Facebook and whoever has that link can do what they want with it.”

Doucette says she’s thankful for the support that she’s received to help complete the project.

“My family and I are so thankful for everyone’s’ help in this. Especially in such a time where it is so easy to be hurt by people, it feels really good to see what people can accomplish together in a positive way.”

If you want to send a happy birthday message to Hannah, it’s not too late. Submissions are still being accepted and can be sent to happybirthdayhannah2017@ gmail.com before September 4.

Loyalist College’s renamed Indigenous Resource Centre honours heritage Belleville – Loyalist College is dropping the word “aboriginal” from an important college facility and replacing it with the word “indigenous.”

The facility, once known as the Aboriginal Resource Centre, will now be known as the Indigenous Resource Centre.

“We strongly encourage the use of the word ‘indigenous’ in lieu of the term ‘aboriginal’ in all instances,” said Paul Latchford, co-ordinator of Indigenous Services at Loyalist. “Using the correct vernacular will help us create a more positive learning environment for our First Nations, Inuit and Métis students.”

The semantic shift to ‘indigenous,’ as the preferred term for the original inhabitants of Canada, follows the federal government’s 2015 decision to change the name of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs to Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada.

The indigenous reference is more commonly recognized internationally, perhaps most notably in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

The centre was established in 1996 to provide friendship, assistance and services to Indigenous students. Today it continues to ensure appropriate support for Indigenous students on campus and acts as a liaison between college administration, Indigenous communities and government agencies.

The centre provides pre-admission counselling to prospective students about admission, transcripts, funding and program planning; orientation for new students; academic and individual counselling for students enrolled at Loyalist.

It also provides a study space and access to computers, printers, Internet and email, circle events, and indigenous newsletters and papers.

NRStor Inc. – an Ontario-based energy storage project developer – is working in partnership with Mitsubishi Corp. – a global business leader – on clean energy innovation.

We are excited to propose an innovative battery energy storage project in the Belleville Industrial Park that is entirely fuel-free and produces zero greenhouse gas emissions.

Together, we are supporting a low carbon electricity grid.

Please join us for a Community Open House to learn more and discuss this exciting project!
