Belleville – Belleville will take any opportunity it can to expand Veridian Energy’s service area to keep residents and businesses away from paying much higher Hydro One rates. That was the theme of an early-morning discussion Wednesday, Aug. 30 as Belleville councillors met at the River Inn for the first of two days of strategic planning meetings. The meetings are allowing elected leaders to see presentations from senior staff and discuss new projects and ideas to move forward with. But when Chief Administrative Officer Rick Kester provided opening remarks and spoke about Belleville’s need to keep up its vision as a “economically vibrant” community, the conversation shifted to the complexities involved in keeping hydro prices low. Veridian Energy is partially owned by the municipality and serves most businesses and residents in the municipality’s urban boundary. That’s a great selling point for the city’s economic development office as it tries to recruit new business, during an era where Hydro One pricing – particularly in rural areas – is widely believed to be hampering the economy. “When we meet and greet potential customers, there’s nothing more proud that saying we own our own utility company,” said Mayor Taso Christopher. Staff and council agreed that when a new business is near the border of Veridian’s service area, the city should explore adding infrastructure to allow Veridan to expandits coverage area. Council was told similar Mayor Taso Christopher and CAO Rick Kester listen to a arrangements were made to get Shorelines presentation by finance director Brian Cousins during a Casino Belleville onto Veridian’s grid, even strategic planning session Aug. 30.Stephen Petrick/Metroland through the casino lands, along Bell Boule-

vard, are normally Hydro One territory. Yet, these discussions get complicated, factoring in that Hydro One, as a publicly traded company, has its own mandate to grow its business and search for customers. “It’s making for an interesting world in electrical distribution, but it doesn’t help us,” Kester said. “There’s no easy answer.” He said that any private company should look at funding programs that ease hydro rates, as there are a number of different programs available through different corporations. ••• In other news from the strategic planning session, finance director Brian Cousins delivered a presentation, which spoke to issues such as credit rating and debt. He said the city continues to maintain a AA- credit rating, as it has for the last six years, roughly. This puts the city in a good position to borrow money to complete big projects. Credit ratings for municipalities are determined following neutral, third-party assessments of the municipality’s financial health. Belleville’s rating is supported by the fact that it has cash and investments of 92 million, at the end of 2016. But, the city’s long-term debt continues to climb.By the end of 2017, it’s projected to be at $122,489,000, Cousins’ presentation showed. Of that $100,853,000 will be taxsupported. Another $21,636,000 will come from self-liquidating assets. At the end of 2016, the total long-term debt was $102,300,000 with the tax-supported portion at $78,200,000 and liquidating portion $24,100,000. Belleville has tapped into long-term debt to complete numerous Build Belleville infrastructure projects in recent years and other projects, such as the renovation of the Yardmen Arena.

Quinte Exhibition continues to bring rural life to the city BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – They could come from Picton or Pointe Anne, Marmora or Madoc, Bloomfield or Batawa. Ask anyone around the Quinte Exhibition and they’ll tell you the annual fall fair that takes place in the heart of Belleville draws many people from the neighbouring small communities that make the big urban centre run. The Bridge and Sidney Street area of Belleville doesn’t exactly bring cornfields or cow patties to mind on most days, but during Labour Day weekend it’s still transformed into a celebration of rural life. This year’s fair, from Aug. 31 to Sept. 3, had the usual events, which bring rural life to the city; horse pulls, tractor pulls, holstein shows and demolition derbies. And even if the aging fairgrounds property – which fairboard members agree won’t be home to the fair for much longer – is in the twilight years of its lifespan, the Belleville Agricultural Society still manages to put on busy events. This year’s fair, the 196th edition, took place entirely on the west side Sidney Street, as the east side is now city property and expected to be developed soon. That gave the fair, a different look and feel than in years past, but in many ways it made for a more intimate event. With fewer square feet to work with, cars packed the centre of the dirt track for Thursday’s tractor pull, with fans watching with their legs hanging from the back of pickup trucks. Further west, guests who meandered into a large building, were met with the vibrant colours of Canadian flags and big vegetables, including massive green zucchinis. The home of the Nature Harvest competition was so full and decorated thoroughly, it took some guests a few minutes to realize they were walking on what’s usually the ice surface of the Quinte Curling Club. “It’s really open concept,” said Jessica Caddick, the chairperson for the home crafts and nature exhibits, which before this year took place in buildings on the west side of Sidney. “For whatever reason, it looks better.” Jessica Caddick is the daughter or Rick Caddick, the current president of the Belleville Agricultural Society. His task is to lead the organization through an interesting time. The society now has some money to look at a new fairground location, as the city

is in the process of paying the society $600,000 for the buyout of it lease on the former east side of the fairgrounds. Fairboard members agree that the fair’s new home should be in a more rural location. But, as that process unfolds – and as the fair moves towards its milestone 200th anniversary in 2021 – fairboard members are also finding that the urban location isn’t preventing them from running successful events. Fairboard member Carl Huffman, who was also involved in the nature harvest competition, said entries this year were up; perhaps owing to the good growing season, but perhaps also owing to the work of volunteers.

“We put together an excellent prize book,” he said. “We’re always looking for new and fresh ideas and this year it was easy to come up with new ideas, because of Canada’s 150th year and Belleville’s 200th.” Jessica Caddick said this year she saw entries from people who appeared to be firsttimers. And the addresses of those who entered represented a range of communities, from Belleville to Batawa. “This is

definitely a regional fair,” she said. A cool breeze drifted through the curling club as she spoke Friday, while a small handful of guests checked out displays. Caddick explained it wasn’t the “calm before the storm,” but rather a moment of calm following a storm.

She said there was a good crowd on hand Thursday, when the fair opened and she was expecting attendance to be steady through the weekend. “Out interest is up every year,” she said. “We’re still getting lots of people coming in.”

OPINION

Disaster coverage – not voyeurism, it’s news

Climate creep and American frogs At least a decade ago, a retired general at the Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies said to me that the rich countries will never take climate change seriously until some very big and apclimate-relatGwynne Dyer parently ed disaster happens in a first-world country. Hurricane Harvey was not that disaster. At least 60 people have died in the Houston floods, and the number will undoubtedly go up. In Bangladesh, at least 134 have died in monsoon flooding that has submerged at least a third of the country. But the latter fact will have no impact on opinion in the developed countries – “it’s just the monsoon again” – and the Texas disaster is not big enough to change minds in the United States. Nor should it. Hurricanes are an annual event in the Gulf of Mexico, and their causes are well understood. Global warming has raised the amount of rain that this storm dumped on east Texas by 3-5 percent. (Higher sea surface temperature = more evaporation.) It also probably caused the changed wind patterns that kept Harvey loitering off the coast for so long. But it did not cause Harvey. The Houston floods are causing so much disruption and misery mainly because of human decisions: putting such a large population on a flood plain subject to frequent hurricanes, and then taking inadequate measures to protect those people from the inevitable consequences. It’s the same story as Hurricane Katrina – and if more than a thousand dead in New Orleans twelve years ago didn’t change the way Americans deal with these threats, the current pain in Houston is certainly not going to do so either. Indeed, just a couple of weeks ago President Trump scrapped Obama-era flood standards requiring infrastructure projects to take account of predicted global warming. There was no outcry. Immerse a frog in boiling water, and it will immediately hop out. Put it in cold water and then slowly heat it, and the frog will not notice that it’s being boiled. The evidence is there, but it’s coming in too slowly to get its attention. Climate change is creeping in quietly, making normal weather a bit more extreme each year, and Americans haven’t noticed yet. They get lots of help in maintaining their ignorance, of course. Right-wing “think

tanks” like the Institute of Energy Research, the Heartland Institute and the Competitive Enterprise Institute, financed by the likes of Exxon Mobil and the Koch brothers, have already mobilized to deny any links between the Houston disaster and climate change. “Instead of wasting colossal sums of money on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, much smaller amounts should be spent on improving the infrastructure that protects the Gulf and Atlantic coasts,” said Myron Ebell, director of environmental policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (and formerly the head of Trump’s transition team at the Environmental Protection Agency, tasked with crippling it). But do not despair: this is largely an American phenomenon, and the United States does not bulk as large in the climate equation as it used to. Almost all the other developed countries are taking the threat of large-scale climate change seriously, although they have left it a bit late and they’re still not doing enough. Consider, for example, the Netherlands, which is almost as vulnerable to flooding as Bangladesh: a quarter of the country is below sea level. There is a sentence in the introduction to the annual report of the Delta Programme, which deals with the rising sea levels and other water-related issues that concern the Dutch, that would be quite unthinkable in a US government document even in Barack Obama’s administration. It reads: “The Delta Programme is tasked with ensuring that flood risk management and the freshwater supply will be sustainable and robust by 2050, and that our country will be designed in a manner that enables it to continue to cope resiliently with the greater extremes of climate.” If the United States had started taking the Dutch approach twenty years ago, far less of Houston would be underwater today, but “designing our country”? It’s un-American. The United States will get there eventually, but it will take a far greater disaster than the Houston floods – the loss of Miami, perhaps? – before it ends the ideological wars and starts dealing with the realities of its situation. Meanwhile, the rest of the world will have to cope with climate change without American help. It can probably manage. Even if we can stop the warming before +2 degrees C, however, it’s too late already to prevent major climate change. There will be bigger floods and longer droughts, food shortages and floods of refugees, and countries will have to work hard to limit the damage. Including, eventually, the United States.

Editorial by Chris Malette ‘You in the media, you mainstream media types, you’re all vultures, looking to sensationalize and embellish other people’s suffering to sell newspapers/reach viewers/get listeners/rack up page views.’ You’ve heard it all before – many of you probably recall yourselves saying it or at very least thinking it over the past couple weeks as coverage of Hurricane Harvey played out over repeated broadcast cycles. One area amateur blogger thought it to be akin to pornography. Everyone knows what’s happening in Houston right now. On Saturday (Aug. 26), Hurricane Harvey slammed the Texas …. People have died. Thousands have been left without power… So many of us feel sick watching, impotent, helpless – and yet, we can’t seem to look away. There’s a term for this. Disaster porn. No. It’s not porn. This silly term has been used to describe everything someone wishes to dismiss as being overly exposed – from food to fast cars. What we’ve been seeing and will continue to see whenever there are major disaster stories is this – news. Period. Plain, unvarnished, often raw footage of nature’s fury, a gunman, jihadist, forest fire, floods or blizzards – we’re going to cover it and do it with compassion and empathy, but do it professionally, because coverage of these sorts of events make for a more alert, compassionate, understanding and aware reader, viewer or listener. There’s an excellent overview of the entire matter on the undisputed source for serious journalistic discourse, The Poynter Institute and Poynter.com. It can be found in its entirety here: https://www.poynter.org/news/exploitingsuffering-or-hogging-spotlight-media-slammedcovering-harvey-no-matter-how-they-do In part, it destroys the myth this is somehow “porn” or vulture-like voyeurism, of which some accuse the media in times when major disaster strikes. “The reality is that disaster coverage is among the purest forms of public service journalism. To accuse the media of commercial motivations in Hurricane Harvey coverage is to profoundly misunderstand the business model. Like wars, famines and epidemics, natural disaster coverage is incredibly expensive because of resources that must be mobilized without notice. … “For months, these local newsrooms will spend enormous amounts of money covering this disaster. And they’re not being rewarded with Super Bowl-sized audiences because the market has

spotty electrical service and so many people are displaced,” said Al Tompkins, Poynter’s senior faculty for broadcast. “Nobody in their right mind thinks extended coverage is a money maker…The reason to do this superhuman effort is because it is public service, vital journalism.” And the toll this takes on small newsrooms is immeasurable in physical, psychological and emotional terms. (I know, we bore the brunt of covering the Russell Williams arrest and trial in a small daily newsroom in Belleville when I was editor there). Many recall the encounter last week between a CNN reporter and a mother who escaped the floods to a Houston shelter, only to watch as the mother began berating the reporter for interviewing her at a time like that: … “people are really breaking down, and y’all sitting here with cameras and microphones trying to ask us, ‘What the f--- is wrong with us?’” We, as journalists in smaller centres or large, have all been accosted in similar fashion while doing our jobs. Do we intend to be obstinate and obtrusive? For the vast majority of us, no, not at all. Are pelpe going to see us as uncaring when we are interviewing and photographing people at their most vulnerable, their most wounded? Absolutely. It’s how we conduct ourselves when we’re being called the most vile things because we understand that, in order to get the true feel, emotion and impact of a disaster or tragic story, we’re going to have to be in the thick of it, asking the sometimes difficult questions. None of us wants to be the reporter who has to talk to the mother who has lost a child, the husband who has lost a wife, a family that has lost everything to a fire or tornado, but we do so in order to get the reader the entire story and in most cases, those readers will be the first to respond to the call for help or support for those affected. I recall several years ago when coming back from covering famine relief by the Canadian air force in Somalia in 1992 and later a UN mission in Haiti, donations among local readers to Red Cross and other charities working in both zones spiked when our stories and images were printed. There’s an impact beyond the gasp, the groan or the tear for those who are in the midst of the tragedy. It’s not porn, its not voyeurism, it’s not traipsing over victims’ dignity in order to get a sexy story. It’s news, it’s what we do and it’s important to understand the world in which we live and how it unfolds – often, tragically.

While official hours were 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. some reported visitors as early as 9 a.m. or before. At the Osborne studio, Saturday’s opening was marred by one incident. An elderly woman apparently put her foot on the gas pedal when she intended to use the brake as she was leaving. The car ripped through a fence, into a pasture, striking several other vehicles along the way, then seeking to get back onto the road, crashed head on into another vehicle parked up against the fence. The driver was trapped in the vehicle for a while by the fence until firefighters and paramedics arrived and freed her. No injuries were apparent but the driver was considerably shaken up. For a few minutes, with about half a dozen fire, ambulance and police vehicles all pulling into the driveway, it looked like the busiest venue of the day. Other studio participants were: Iris Casey, wire sculpture, mosaics, garden art; Sue Panko, acrylic painter; Florence Chik-Lau, ceramic animals; Susan Moshynski, pastel and watercolour; Jan and Harvey Tremeer, wood turning, knitting and quilting; Andrea Pyman-Varangu, County landscapes in soft pastels; Ron Sayeau, waterco-

This Herc likes milk bones

Waterfront has potential: council BY STEPHEN PETRICK

BY MAKALA CHAPMAN

CFB Trenton – One of 436 Transport Squadron’s honorary members so happens to be excellent at fetching tissues, opening cupboard doors and is said to be a fan of treats. Meet 17-month-old Hercules the black Labrador retriever, who also so happens to share his name with the Royal Canadian Air Force’s (RCAF) CC-130J Hercules aircraft. But “Herc” as he’s known, is more than just an unofficial squadron mascot. He is in fact well on his way to becoming a facility dog says his owner and handler Kelly Briggs. As the veteran family program coordinator at the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre, Briggs noted that Hercules plays an important role at her workplace. While he was originally supposed to be trained as service dog for those with post-traumatic stress disorder, she said it soon became apparent that Hercules was needed at the MFRC. “I started fostering him when he was 12 weeks,“ Briggs explained, “but eight months in we realized that he had a huge impact and he’s very sensitive to people.” She added that veterans and children have especially taken a liking to her four-legged friend. “They love him,” she said, noting that everyone who meets Hercules has been an instant fan. “Here (at the MFRC) he has the ability to have an impact on a lot of veterans and families and not just one.” While the youthful pup is still in training to become a full-blown facility dog, he is already capable of so much said Briggs. “He’s so smart so I have to keep his mind going,” she chuckled, adding that Hercules has been trained to retrieve keys, find people, and even put socks away. “It’s about keeping his mind engaged.” Once fully trained, his roles will also include assisting veterans and clients of the MFRC to appointments if they feel they need a little extra support. Since Briggs is Hercules’ handler, she noted she will always have to be

Hercules, an honorary member of 436 Transport Squadron, hangs out under the shade of a CC-130J Hercules with Sergeant Ed Babineau at 8 Wing Trenton. Makala Chapman/Metroland present but said that she and Hercules would be happy to help out when needed. Looking back, Briggs said she couldn’t imagine her life without him and said she hopes he brings others as much joy as he has brought her. “Not only does (fostering a dog) have a positive impact on your own family, you can impact someone else and help the dog learn the skills and task necessary to make a veteran’s life a little easier,” she said. “It’s a huge benefit.” But not just any dog can become a working dog like Hercules, said Dominium Assistance Dogs owner and trainer Lisa-Marie Guernon. In fact, a lot of time, effort and money goes into raising a canine to be able to do all the things required of a service or facility dog. Each dog that is trained can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 said Guernon. As a veteran herself, Guernon said one of the reasons she started the lo-

cal charity was to help address the rising demand for service animals for those suffering from PTSD or mobility issues. Having been discharged from the military for medical reasons, Guernon explained that by training her own dogs to assist her with daily routines, like taking medicine, she realized how valuable having a service dog could be to other veterans. Since 2015, Guernon has trained seven therapy dogs, one facility dog, six service dogs, two emotional support animals and has several others currently in training. But while Guernon said she would like to help every individual who could benefit from a service dog, it’s not possible at the time. “We can’t help everybody and the waiting list minimum across Canada is over two years,” she said, noting that she doesn’t charge for her services.

Belleville – City staff and councillors believe there will be plenty of opportunity to development and improve waterfront areas of Belleville; moves that would only help the city grow as a trendy and picturesque tourist destination. The latter part of Day 1 and much of Day 2 of council’s strategic planning session at the River Inn dealt with ideas to improve the southern stretch of the city. That includes, in the not-too-distant future, plans to improve infrastructure for Zwick’s Island Park. That also includes more long-term goals such as the development of Freestone Point near Meyers Pier, which council discussed during a portion the talks dedicated to 20-year-plan ideas. A presentation late on Day 1 talks on Wednesday by parks and open space manager Larry Glover spoke about the complexities of improving infrastructure at Zwick’s Island; a task many councillors say constituents are calling for. The washrooms were built in 1967 and are on a septic system with narrow pipes that pass under CN tracks and through a landfill. That means that badly-needed improvements will be expensive and involve environmental approvals. Glover said he hopes that work can begin in the fall of 2018. He also hopes to propose a plan to improve the parking lot in November’s capital budget session. Glover said the number of visitors to Zwick’s Island has grown signifi-

cantly over the years, as Belleville has added infrastructure such as the trail system in 2006 and the Lions Pavilion in 2009. People behind new events this year, such as the 5k Foam Fest and Wheels on the Bay, have already booked the park for use next year, too, Glover said. So the traffic generated between these new additional marquee events, coupled with traditional ones such as the Canada Day and Waterfront festivals, means the city must put in work to improve the park, Glover said. “It’s not a negative story,” he said, of the outdated infrastructure. “It’s a positive story, because the park is being used well.” In morning presentations on Thursday, Aug. 31, recreation director Mark Fluhrer spoke to more longterm plans to further develop Bay of Quinte waterfront areas on the east side of the Moira River. One presentation focused on the need to build on the momentum going at Jane Forrester Park where, with help from senior governments, much money has been spent in recent years on new development. But the city can still “create a special thing” Fluhrer said, as he showed rough sketch designs of a building that could be placed along the water to serve as a restaurant or banquet centre. He believes the city could hold festivals there. Although there’s now a restaurant on Meyers Pier, by the boat docks, Fluhrer said “it’s a seasonal opportunity.” Another building could work year-round.

Farmers’ Market full of autumn surprises BY JACK EVANS

Belleville – Late August through September brings the peak of Quinte area produce to the Belleville Farmers’ Market. On a sunny but crisp Labour Day weekend Saturday morning, the scene was a cornucopia of colour and smell. Apart from several varieties of corn, beets, squash, garden veggies, maple syrup, baked goods and meat products, one vendor threw in a treat of corn cobs and chicken legs

cooked on a barbecue. Other taste treats from area kitchens were also available. Then the air was filled with harmonious singing as an all-female choir from the Stirling Mennonite Church broke into singing, drawing an appreciative crowd around the back stage at city hall. For a memento, church supporters distributed free copies of CDs for souvenirs. The season will be winding down after Thanksgiving, but in the meantime, the Market remains an exciting, colourful place with plenty of surprises.

Quinte West – The Paul Moran Insurance Group Inc. Quinte Royals midget team was in action in the Ontario Baseball Association (OBA) Provincial Championships on the final August weekend in Mississauga. The Royals were the number one seed to open the tournament and the tournament draw pitted the number two seed from Thornhill up against the boys from Quinte. Pitching and defence were on full display as the top two seeded teams battled in a back and forth game, until the Royals bats heated up in the bottom of the seventh inning to walk off Thornhill by a score of 6-5. Game 2 on Friday night saw Cambridge Cubs vs. the Royals. The Royals bats heated up once again to take Game 2 by a score 12-9, earning them the bye through round three and into a matchup on Saturday afternoon with a familiar team from Niagara Falls as the Niagara team previously ended the Royals bid for a 2014 Provincial Championship. The Royals were firing on all cylinders, and shut down the Niagara team to take Game 3 by a score of 8-1, to earn a spot in the semi finals vs. the Guelph Royals. The “Battle Royale” was a thriller from the start as both teams’ pitchers went toe-to-toe in a tight 1-1 draw

until the Quinte Royals offense exploded to send 14 batters to the plate in the bottom of the sixth, scoring nine runs. This earned the Quinte Royals a spot in the Provincial Championship Finals vs. London. Quinte battled hard in the finals, but came up short, finishing the season as the number two team in Ontario. The Royals midgets boasted a regular season record of 19-2 to lead the Eastern Ontario Baseball Association standings. In five tournaments, the Royals won two and were tournament finalists in the other three, including the EOBA’s and the OBA Provincials, for a combined record of 40-7-1. The Quinte Royals midget team wish to thank the sponsors, families and many fans that gathered at Bayshore Field in Quinte West to support the team all summer. Head coach, Chris Lisle and assistant coaches Tre Murray, John Kelly, and Adam Fry are very proud of the efforts of the boys and the level of class that the midgets displayed all season in representing the Quinte area from Ottawa to London during this incredible 2017 season.

Cars were stars at this Labour Day classic BY CHRIS MALETTE

Thurlow – Neighbours in the north Sidney Street neighbourhood where John Foley invites fans of chrome and aspirated engines no doubt have to be patient with the rumble of thunder coming from Foley’s yard. Every Labour Day, Foley, a classic car and boat buff, hosts ‘Foley’s Yard Thunder’ and invites friends and fellow car lovers to come out for food and drink and a lot of chrome and lovingly restored cars and trucks. Friend Ron Smith said this was the third year of the event and “it’s grown every year. “The first year, he had about 23 or so cars,” said Smith who helped Foley prepare for the front and side lawn concourse of classic iron. “Last year there weremore and this year we’re going to be close to 40.” There’s no admission, it’s largely pot luck, but Foley puts on a barbecue for friends and invitees and no one shoos away anyone who pulls over to the side of the road and strolls over for a look at the lovingly-restored vehicles that festoon the lawn. “It’s just all about celebrating the work all these guys have put into their vehicles,” said Foley. “A place where they can relax and show off their cars, meet their friends and enjoy Labour Day.”

There were cars of all eras on the lawn of Thurlow resident John Foley’s home on the north end of Sidney Street Monday for the Third Annual Foley’s Yard Thunder car show and barbecue. See more photos on page 8. Chris Malette/Metroland

Barbershop chorus seeks new director BY JACK EVANS

The Quinte region chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, A Cappella Quinte, is seeking a new chorus leader following the unexpected loss of Bloomfield musician Patrick Headley. Headley took over at the first of the year and proved himself a competent and popular leader of the 35-voice choir, including the annual show last spring. Despite hopes for a long and fun relationship, Headley became no longer available because of a new career opportunity which was a “must go” for him to continue to support his family, to a senior full-time teaching position to a private college out of

the area. The chorus has established a search committee and actively seeks applicants for this position, which carries a modest salary and an opportunity to work with a fun group, which has become a major player in the area’s cultural fabric over around 40 years. The chorus practices Tuesday evening in the back hall of Calvary Temple on Dundas Street West, plus a number of public performances at community events in the area and an annual major show in the spring. Those interested can contact Steve Hall, 613-968-4073 or email snedehall@sympatico.ca.

Quinte Ex goes out with a roar amid puddles BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - Following long-established tradition, it seems you can’t have a Quinte Exhibition without at least one or more days of heavy rain. The closing day of the Quinte Exhibition Sunday helped keep the fair’s reputation intact. Rubber boots were the order of the day for many fairgoers and numbers were down, particularly during the early hours of the day, but crowds perked up by mid-afternoon as rain clouds moved out, plus the major attraction of a demolition derby for the grandstand program at 7 p.m. One area not much affected by the weather was inside the Curling Club building where school arts and crafts, domestic skills, baking competition and more held court. A large display and demonstration by Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo in one corner drew a large crowd of children and their parents. The lecturer, Peter Surges, also allowed the children to hold a large tarantula on the palm of their hands and to handle a large, but potentially ornery, snapping turtle and other critters. Given the reduced attendance because of the rain, the Quinte Ex may not have gone out with a bang, but with the demolition derby, it was certainly with a roar.

Peter Surges, with the Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo, shows off a large tarantula during a lecture to a large crowd of children and parents inside the Curling Club building on the last day of the Quinte Exhibition Sunday. The reptile collection and show was one of the more popular attractions at this year’s fair. Jack Evans/Metroland

Guild’s one act plays draw strong support

B & E suspect nabbed after a string of crimes

BY JACK EVANS

BY BILL FREEMAN

Judging from the attendance and generous applause Wednesday, Aug. 30, the Belleville Theatre Guilds annual One Act Play Festival has established itself as a solidly popular event. This year’s presentation covered five short plays, all by writers in the immediate community. The interest in writing for this event drew the comment from Liz Marshall, BTG program director that “ We were overwhelmed by the number of submissions this year. Our area is becoming a hotbed of new writers.” The evening’s program also spans a wealth of new acting and directing talent, although most of the casts, by necessity, were small. The audience roared with laughter at several points as veteran local playwright Peter Paylor’s play called “The Green Thumb Gang” unfolded. Directed by Terry Boyd, the play stars Judie Preece and Kathryn Dalmer as two elderly women apparently caught red-handed in an apartment break-in, but arguing that they were only trying to water the plants and feed the cat. Marvin Tucker plays the frustrated apartment owner and Jamie Hosking, the detective. Garry Kirsch of Tweed, penned the crime drama, “Unbecoming,” directed by Enno Busse. Brief and intense, the story is of two police detectives working on a gruesome case by a serial psychopathic killer. A chance for young actors to show their stuff was offered in “Summer on the Bench,” by Sarah Harren, about a young teenager infatuated with a boy to whom she had loaned a pencil. Making her directing debut for this was Maija Thompson. The cast was Logan Ramsay, Fiona Dodsworth, Alex Pordham (still a youth and already with several BTG shows under his belt) and Dylan Kemp. Another new writer is Keith Taylor of Picton, whose play, “Therapy” involves several mental patients and a doctor. Lisa Morris, director, described her cast as “the perfect combination of playwright, actors and director. I can’t wait to do it again.” The cast is a rebellious Sydnee

Asphodel-Norwood– A 38-year-old Peterborough man was arrested by police Thursday (Aug. 31) morning after a string of reported break-ins along County Road 2 and the Third Line of Asphodel. Peterborough County OPP officers were called to the area shortly before 10:30 a.m. to investigate the break-ins and identified a suspect using home surveillance video from one of the residences. The officers

Wilson as Sheila, a new participant in the sessions, Sylvia Wan, Kirsten Skltodt, Brad Kassier and Bryan Coates. Another surprise ending, and some great acting. Finally, seasoned actor Colin Leonard owned the stage as the key character in “A Kiss To Build a Dream On.” On their 50th wedding anniversary, a couple share their reflections on their lives with the owner of their favourite café. Colin’s wife, Nora, was played by Victoria Farrell and Katie, the café owner by Sara

Hadley. Poignant and witty, this was a first effort by Penny Barker of Belleville and to keep it in the family, the director was her daughter, Heather Barker, a BTG regular. Notables in the opening night audience included Lesley Bonisteel from the Old Church Theatre and Caroline Smith, founder and long-time operator of the Stirling Festival Theatre. The guild’s regular season opens Oct. 12 with the American classic, “Our Town,”by Thornton Wilder, directed by Ian Feltham.

located the suspect after a stolen ATV he was riding ran out of fuel and he attempted to hide in a garage. Lucas Albert Nehrling, 38, of Peterborough was charged with three counts of break, enter and theft under $5,000, possession of break-in tools, wearing a disguise while committing an indictable offence, theft over $5,000 (ATV), resisting a police officer and two counts of failing to comply with recognizance.

ONE CHILD with cancer is one

TOO MANY

The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) recognizes that one child with cancer is one too many. The toll that cancer can take on children and their families is significant. That’s why, at CCS, we continue to invest in Canada’s best childhood cancer research, and we’re Canada’s largest national charitable funder of childhood cancer research. Thanks to our generous donors, over the past 15 years we have funded over $50 million in childhood cancer research, supporting more than 170 projects. Here are two examples of research conducted by leading scientists who have received funding from CCS. Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is the most common type of leukemia in adults, and it can also affect children. Some people begin with less aggressive diseases called myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and later develop AML. By studying abnormal blood stem cells, Dr Mick

Bhatia and his team at McMaster University developed a new way of predicting who will progress from MDS toAML,which could help guide treatment to fend off this aggressive cancer. With further research, this could lead to personalized risk predictions and treatment options for children with MDS to fend off AML. Dr Cynthia Hawkins and her team are searching for better ways to diagnose and treat childhood cancers of the central nervous system (CNS) – the brain and spinal cord. Dr Hawkins met with international experts to update the World Health Organization’s classification system for CNS tumours. Based on her research, an entirely new diagnostic category was created, which is changing tumour testing around the world. Help us continue to fund Canada’s best cancer research.

Jim Taylor. There was, of course, a special tribute to longtime coach Vince Lombardi, who stated “There is only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything.” Several of his famous ‘words of wisdom’ are posted on these walls. There was also a replica of Curly Lambeau’s office, with his desk, and a reminder of the “Lambeau Leap” (an aftertouchdown tradition here since 1993). There was a detailed description of the famous “Ice Bowl” of 1967, won by the Packers over the Cowboys (when it was so cold that the officials couldn’t use the metal whistles, for they would stick to their lips!). Then I entered the trophy room and was surrounded by the ‘World Champions’ trophies (13 of them) and the 4 ‘Super Bowls’. In addition to my exploration of the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, I, of course, toured the Lambeau Field Stadium, too (where more than 80,000 boisterous fans attend every home game!). I walked through the wide, welcoming tunnel that leads from the home team’s dressing room out onto the field, while a recording of the roaring fans could be heard over a

loudspeaker. However, once we emerged from the tunnel, the field itself was ‘off limits’. This is considered ‘sacred ground’ and it’s only to be looked at, not walked upon. As we walked about on the sidelines, though, we could see the opposing team’s entrance tunnel – and it was much smaller, narrower. It was as if ‘the enemy’ was emerging into a hostile, intimidating environment! Our tour guide told us that he was one of about 60 retired people who led these stadium tours. They’re very popular! I was also told that if it snowed just prior to a home game, up to 500 volunteers would appear to help clear the snow from the stands (and many actually applauded the lack of a dome, for they preferred playing ‘real football’, exposed to the elements!). On game day, there’d be a sea of green and gold (their colours) and a plethora of cheeseheads in the stands. I was also told that about 20,000 pounds of cheese curds would be sold and consumed there per game!

Take It Outside

Hi! Carson here: New columnist on the block

to start our relationship is with a little honesty. While I love plants and specifically moved to a farm to have more space for the gardens, I’m not actually a gardener. I’m a landscape designer. Landscaping is more than just the plants; it includes all of the components of outdoor design, including creating those amazing outdoor rooms that are the hottest trend right now. As a representative for HGTV Canada, Better Homes and Gardens and Cityline, I travel all across North America helping homeowners define their outdoor spaces. However, BY CARSON ARTHUR when I walk into a yard for the As this is my inaugural ar- first time, I look at the space ticle, I think the best way for us very differently than some of

my industry colleagues. I don’t design based on where the roses, or the hydrangeas, or the boxwoods will go. Instead, I start with creating useable space. I make decks, patios, seating areas work for homeowners. I love creating areas that are all about outdoor living and while plants are still part of the picture; I work to blend them with the outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, pergolas and patios so that the entire outdoor space reads as one cohesive area. With all of the new studies and information about how the outdoors impact home value; landscaping has now joined kitchens and bathrooms at the top of the renovation list when it comes to making a return on

investment. There will always be good and bad choices when it comes to home renovations. For 90 percent of Canadians, our homes are our largest assets. I want to help you enjoy your property and then make the most for it when it comes time to sell, because even if you are not selling today, tomorrow or in 15 years ... who wants to sell their home for less money then it is actually worth? As I travel back and forth across the country, I will bring you a close up of what others are doing in their own spaces and what the provincial trends are. (And yes, the grass does seem a little greener in Victoria.) As we get to know each

other, you’re going to see that I have lots of opinions. I will try and blend the good with the bad and be as charming as possible with my tongue firmly in my cheek. I will also make sure that a keep healthy dose of common sense in all of my content. I want to make greener choices in my life and will help you do the same as we work towards making your outdoor space beautiful. I am going to share some amazing before and after photos of my best makeovers and I have lots of DIY projects for you to try. I’m even going to let you in on my own personal failures. We’re going to discuss furniture, privacy, and even plants and how everything impacts you and your

home. I am always open for your questions too. In fact, I will even include some of them in my upcoming articles. If you ever have an issue or need some help, you can always reach me through social media or feel free to call into my radio program on 800CJBQ on Saturdays at 12:30. I firmly believe that there are no bad questions. Odds are, if you are thinking it, so is someone else! So even though I may be the new kid on the block, I’m going to be your personal outdoor expert; helping you make the most of your front and backyards and one day you can invite me over for a barbeque in your amazing new space.

Overdose prevention program marks one year of service Hastings Prince Edward Public Health celebrated one year of the Lifesaver Program on Aug. 31. This drug overdose prevention program was launched last year on August 31, which is International Overdose Awareness day. Since the program’s launch, 188 Lifesaver kits have been distributed to service users, family members and friends, and 19 kits have been refilled. Over the last year, HPEPH has provided over 600 hours of education on overdose prevention to local community partners. The Lifesaver program is a community-based Naloxone distribution program aimed at reducing avoidable deaths from opioid overdose. It is offered to individuals currently taking opioids, or those who have taken opioids in the past. Naloxone is an effective antidote for opioid overdoses, and works by temporarily reversing the effects of opioids in the brain and restoring normal breathing in the unconscious person. The Lifesaver Program involves training people to recognize the signs of overdose and to use Naloxone to save lives. Par-

ticipants are provided with a Lifesaver kit that contains all the supplies necessary to administer Naloxone in the event of an overdose. A key component of the program involves ensuring that participants understand the importance of calling 911 as soon as they suspect an opioid overdose, to initi-

ate emergency response and support. Opioid overdose can slow or stop breathing, slow heart rate and blood pressure, reduce body temperature, and cause the victim to be unresponsive. Affected persons may also experience a seizure or a heart attack. Opioids are found in both illegal and prescription drugs.

Aging population a challenge for county BY JACK EVANS

If Hastings County is going to address the needs of an aging population, it must move to support small pods of affordable housing for seniors from Centre to North Hastings. A summer intern for Hastings County, Meredith Stevenley-Watson, drew high praise from council councillors for her report on needs for special assisted living space by county seniors. She made her presentation to council Thursday, Aug. 31. Stevenley-Watson reported data she had collected on the needs from county and other statistics, plus interviews with senior citizens, particularly those on lower income. She also said she visited several types of suitable accommodations, particularly one in nearby Apsley. The needs for care workers should involve more than a mere one hour per day, as set by the Local Health Initiatives Network (LHIN), she argued, and creating clusters of specialized residential units would best solve that problem. Stevenley-Watson’s key recommendations were for small units designed for rent geared to income seniors in places such as Bancroft, Tweed, and Madoc, with a large complex of apartment type units built on county-owned property behind Hastings Manor. Proximity to downtown centres is a key factor, she stressed. Such units should also allow married seniors to share the same space or at least the same building. The latter point drew strong support from one reeve who cited a case of a married couple in their 90s living in two different facilities and pining to

be together. Several council members reported knowledge of similar cases and reinforced the report on the need. “People are banging on our doors all the time for assisted living space for seniors,” said Mayor Tom Deline of Centre Hastings. Bancroft acting Mayor Jim Jenkins reported similar experiences. Deline suggested such spaces would obviate the

need for personal care workers to drive all over the county to serve clients and thus save the province money. CAO Jim Pine said the report would need further details which staff would be pleased to provide and council should act to start implementing such ideas, with or without help from senior governments. No further action was taken at the meeting.

Hastings County supports sales tax hike for infrastructure BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - There was some hesitancy by a couple of members, but Hastings County Council members were in agreement that infrastructure must take priority. Chief administrative officer Jim Pine reminded that in Eastern Ontario alone, “infrastructure is falling behind more than $135 million dollars every year. We all know infrastructure gets a year older every year and we cannot keep raising taxes at the rate of eight to 10 per cent a year to maintain buildings and roads properly.” He urged council to support the position of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) in its call for the province to increase the sales tax by one per cent and earmark the proceeds for an apportionment to each municipality. Even at that, there wold be five provinces with sales tax rates higher than Ontario, Pine said, recalling that

at one time the rate was 14 per cent. The funds would be ongoing and something councils could budget on year by year. “Even that amount won’t fully cover the increase annually of infrastructure upkeep,” he said. Current programs result in municipalities competing with each other to get a share of funds available and other measures cannot be relied on. Council also recognized the AMO’s position on strengthening Eastern Ontario through additional senior government support. Charts showed that costs for one kilometre of road are the same whether in an urban area or the country yet that cost must be born by five households in the country, while in an urban area it is 25 households. Municipalities also own two thirds of the region’s roads and the infrastructure deficit now stands at $4.6 billion and continues to grow. Council strongly endorsed Pine’s recommendations.

appreciate the benefits they brought? As an immigrant the shoe, some would say boot, is on the other foot. Not a good feeling remains with me with regard to the treatment of the First Nations. I like to think that the first settlers’ intentions were for the best but know that was not so in many cases. Residential Schools are a major issue. I was introduced to them through reading a history of one situated in TheLand-of-the-Lakes written, of course, by ‘The Victor’. I remember thinking, as I am sure the founders of the school did and intended, this was the ideal method of integration, not realizing it left the pupil between two cultures In some ways I still think this. To sit on an ice field and watch Miami Vice from your GPS equipped Skidoo

does not seem to me the ideal way to integrate those young people in the realities of the, like it or not, modern world. The founders of the schools must be truly horrified at the subsequent treatment of the pupils, as indeed we all are, but that does not negate their true intentions. I also wonder at the ‘saintliness’ of the instigators of this nonsense. Many people regarded themselves as ‘more-equal-than-others’ and were not too reluctant to demonstrate the fact: until they became the vanquished, are they happy with their history? I can only conclude with my observation that there are far more worrying issues in this unfortunate World that should concern us, John Morralee Belleville

Dear Editor, Is it possible to state that the wish to rename schools and pull down statues is nonsense and not offend someone? I suspect not: so to them I apologize. But it is nonsense. An attempt to rewrite history as if there were no victors or vanquished is doomed to failure and to cause even more dissension. As an Immigrant from England I belong to a race, which is both victor and vanquished. If I am overly sensitive I have some serious issues with the Romans, the Danes, the Vikings and William the Conqueror, who chased my first ancestors (whom I am sure were not all saints) off their bit of turf. But I accept that ‘To the Victor the Spoils’ and they also get to write the history books! Is any harm done to accept that fact, live with it, and

His musical tastes and abilities span diverse styles from swing era jazz to rock to country. Currently Tom is keyboardist and a percussionist with the Quinte Symphony Orchestra, as well as a music teacher whose instruction encourages creativity, balanced overall musicianship, ear training, improvisation on and composition.” The Belleville Choral Society consists of professional and amateur musicians of diverse backgrounds, performing choral literature from all musical periods. Since 1959, the chorus has brought the joys of choral singing to the Quinte area. Repertoire for the December 2017 concert will include the premiere of a commissioned work by Mark Sire, in celebration of Canada 150, along with guest artists, Carpe Diem String Ensemble.
