Belleville – Buildings on what was once fairground land at Bridge and Yeomans streets are being prepared for demolition. It will likely be the first step towards getting the large urban plot of land ready for commercial development. “It’s no secret that (councillors) want to see some commercial development,” said Belleville engineering director Rod Bovay, explaining that the city has had inquiries about the land from commercial groups in the past. “We’ll see where that leads over the course of the winter.” At a recent meeting, city council approved spending about $200,000 to demolish buildings on the site, which was once under lease to the Belleville Agricultural Society and used to host the annual fall fair. The demolition involves the takedown of the Ben Bleecker building – at a price of $168,347 – and the crafts building, Barn 3, the show pavilion and cattle barn. Another barn in the northwest corner of the land, Bovay said, has been sold and is being dismantled so it can re-assembled elsewhere. The Belleville Lawn Bowling Club is also located on the site, but it will remain there. When the demolition is complete, the city can then looking at doing “some environmental investigations – just to make sure there’s no issues with the property,” Bovay added. “That would be the logical next step.” The city has high hopes for the area.

A building, formerly a cattle judging barn, on land no longer leased by the Belleville Agricultural Society is being dismantled, as the site gets ready to be developed. Stephen Petrick/Metroland Last November, council approved spending $600,000 to buy the Belleville Agricultural Society out of a long-term lease it had with the city to use that land. It was hailed as a win-win because the deal provided the society with some money to begin looking for a new location. Coun. Jack Miller, who was part of
a committee that negotiated the buyout, told his fellow councillors that night that it was a good deal for the city because the tax revenue from the Shoppers Drug Mart plaza across the street is worth about $500,000 a year. Another buyout is possible, as city officials are now negotiating with Agricultural Society officials for the much larger west side of the fair-
grounds. Bovay said any development in the area will serve the growth that’s already taking place in the west end of the city. “The west end is growing – and with the addition of Potter’s Creek (subdivision) – will continue to grow,” he said.

Flavours of Fall festival packs downtown Belleville BY STEPHEN PETRICK
(Far left) Five-year-old Daniel McCarthy enjoys riding a pony at the Flavours of Fall Festival. It was one of several kids activities that brought families out to downtown Belleville Saturday.
Belleville – Autumn was in the air in downtown Belleville Saturday and the community soaked up the sights, smell and sounds. Kids carved pumpkins under the shadow of City Hall, apple cider was served at the intersection of Bridge and Pinnacle and the sounds of Indigenous drums, police sirens and ponies clanking their feet around a pen – all as part of family-oriented activities – brought smiles to faces. Hundreds – perhaps thousands – of people were there for the Belleville Chamber’s Flavours of Fall Festival. The festival now in its 10th year, brings several hundred people downtown each year, if the weather co-operates. A rain storm that made Friday miserable cleared up just in time for the festivities, which started mid morning and went into late afternoon. “It’s been packed since 10 a.m.,” said Susan Walsh, the Chamber special events co-ordinator, who organizes the festival. “”It’s packed in downtown Belleville and that’s great to see.” “We see the smiles on the kids faces, and that’s what makes this so rewarding.”

Hazardous & Electronic Waste Event Saturday October 7th, 2017 9:00am - 4:00pm Main Depot 75 Wallbridge Cres. Belleville
Belleville – The Belleville-based Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment is one of the most decorated regiments in Canada, yet some people in the city don’t even realize it’s around. “Many assume we’re part of CFB Trenton,” said Sgt. Stephen Barkema, the regiment’s recruiter. But effort is being made to change that perception, and it continued on Saturday, Sept. 30 with the regiment hosting an open house. The event was part of a national day of open houses by the Canadian Forces, as similar regiments across Canada opened their doors. But the timing was perfect for the Belleville event, as the regiment’s location, the Armories at Bridge and Pinnacle streets, was directly across the street from the Flavours of Fall festival. As a result, hundreds of people meandered in during the day to check out military vehicles and weapons on display and learn about the recruiting process. “I’m ecstatic about this turnout,” said Barkema. The event allowed him to tell citizens about how the regiment works. The regiment employs reservists who are called to augment the regular military force when needed. It has a storied history, as the regiment – affectionately known as the Hasty Ps – won 31 battle honours during the Second World War. The Hasty Ps were recently called to help address flooding situations in the spring. They may also be called to help with situations that arise suddenly, such as an event where refugees are being brought to CFB Trenton. Reservists are paid for the time they put in, but their commitment is voluntary. When a call goes out for reservists, the regiment leaders will see who is available to work that day. Because of that, serving in the reserves is ideal for a person who’s in school or has a current job they don’t want to leave, but still has a desire to serve their country and build

Stephen Petrick/Metroland a career. Barkema explained that many people use their time in the reserves as a stepping stone to full-time career in the military. Yet, to be a reservist, a man or woman must show they have the qualifications. The recruitment process involves an aptitude test, a fitness test, an interview, a medical clearance and a background check. Those who meet those requirements are then trained to the same standards as any full-time military member. “It’s very hard work. They have to be dedicated people. They have to be really motivated to do it,” said Barkema. He added that the training may involve carrying heavy weapons, staying awake long hours and dealing with some harsh voices. But joining the reservists is a great choice for anyone who loves their country and has a desire to serve, he said.
“It’s very hard work. (Reservists) have to be dedicated people.” SGT. STEPHEN BARKEMA.
He pointed out that during the Afghanistan conflict, about 15 per cent of troops deployed to the Mid-East country were reservists. It’s also now easier for people to begin the recruitment process. Previously, those interested would have to visit a recruitment centre in Kingston, but now much of the recruitment process can take place in Belleville. Those interested in learning more can contact Barkema at 613-966-2108 or hast. per.recruiting@forces.gc.ca. More information is also available at forces.ca

He explained that one concern city officials hear from west end residents is that there aren’t many large grocery stores in the area. “There’s not a lot of things a city can do to make a grocery store available,” he said. “But having land available in a size that suits them (makes it a possibility.)” The Bridge and Yeoman Street area isn’t the only area of the city where demolitions are about to take place. With the same vote, on Sept. 11, council approved the demolition of a building at 15 Atkins Rd. (for $52,093) and 658 Point Anne Rd. (for $31,199).

OPINION
Vegas killing draws a bead on gun laws
Catalonia: a primer to Puigdemont Catalan nationalist leader Carles Puigdemont got most of what he wanted out of the chaotic pseudo-referendum on Sunday: 761 people injured by the Spanish police trying to block it. One or two martyrs dead for the cause of Gwynne Dyer Catalan independence would have been even better, and no doubt the 761 injured include a fair number of sprained ankles and broken nails, but the pictures will do the job. Even the foreign media coverage bought the story that the brutal Spanish police were suppressing the popular will – so now Puigdemont will have an excuse for making a unilateral declaration of independence. Puigdemont, the president of the Catalan regional government, is no stranger to histrionics. In the past he has compared Catalan separatists’ non-violent campaign for independence to the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39 and even to the Vietnam War. “Every day is a Vietnam,” Puigdemont said in a TV interview last year, which seems a bit over the top as American B-52s hardly ever bomb Barcelona. But that’s the sort of stuff that rallies the troops, and there is a minority of people in Catalonia who really want independence. There always has been, because Catalonia has had a hard time from some Spanish governments in the past. It fought on the losing (Republican/Communist) side in the Spanish Civil War, and tens of thousands of Catalans died when General Francisco Franco’s fascists won the war. Franco punished Catalonia by banning the use of the Catalan language (which is quite close to Castilian Spanish, but different enough for people to care about the difference). But today Catalonia is the richest region of Spain. The Catalan language enjoys equal status with Spanish and is used in the schools. The region’s wealth has attracted so many people from other parts of Spain over the years that 46 percent of the population now speaks mostly Spanish. (37 percent use mainly Catalan, and 12 percent say they use both equally.) So why do so many Catalans want to break from Spain? Historical grievances dating from the Civil War and even before; resentment that so many Spanish-speakers have immigrated to Catalonia; resentment that they have to share some of their wealth with poor-

er parts of Spain (but this is Europe, where that is perfectly normal); and most of all what Sigmud Freud called “the narcissism of minor differences.” Equally minor differences saw Norway break away from Sweden non-violently in 1904, and Slovakia peacefully secede from former Czechoslovakia in 1993, so pettiness in itself is no obstacle. Catalan separatists, however, faced two major obstacles: an independence referendum is illegal under the Spanish constitution – and if they did hold a proper referendum, they’d almost certainly lose. The problem is all those Spanish-speaking people who don’t share the romantic nationalist dreams of many (but not all) Catalans. A poll in March showed 48.5% opposing independence and 44.3% in favour; by July it was 49.4% against independence, and only 41.1% for it. It’s not easy to disenfranchise all those “Spaniards” (most of whom were actually born in Catalonia), so a simple referendum won’t deliver the goods. Puigdemont’s big idea probably occurred to him after a symbolic referendum in 2014 produced an 80 percent majority for independence – because it was illegal, and therefore only a third of the population (almost all Catalans) voted in it. What if he held another illegal referendum, but this time have the Catalan parliament, where his coalition has a narrow majority, declare it “legal and binding”. Once again, most Spanish-speakers wouldn’t vote – but this time, he said, there will be no requirement of a minimum turnout, and the regional parliament can declare independence “within 48 hours” if the vote goes in favour. Or, if the Spanish government intervenes to stop the vote, as is its right under the constitution, he could use that as a pretext for a unilateral declaration of independence. It was win-win for Puigdemont, and loselose for the Spanish government. If Madrid didn’t intervene, Catalonia would declare independence on the strength of a referendum in which only a minority of the population, almost all Catalan-speakers, voted. If it did intervene to stop the referendum, it would be guilty of “thwarting democracy”, and the images of Catalan protesters being dragged away from polling booths would prove to the world how evil the Spanish government is. Madrid went with the latter option, and now is seen across the world as an oppressor. Puigdemont, in a televised address Sunday evening, said: “With this day of hope and suffering, the citizens of Catalonia have won the right to an independent state in the form of a republic.” He also hinted that a unilateral declaration of independence was on the way.

6 Belleville News - Thursday, October 5, 2017
Editorial by Chris Malette Here we go, once again down the rabbit hole that is the madness of America’s gun obsession. Last Sunday, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire on a crowd of more than 20,000 concertgoers from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay resort. At least 50 are dead and more than 400 people were rushed to hospitals. As of this writing, police and video/audio witness accounts believe Paddock used one or more automatic weapons in his assault. This isn’t about legitimate firearm use for hunting and sport shooting. This is a different beast, altogether. And the gun debate in the United States heats, again, to the boil. It will simmer down, though, as it always has, once the powerful gun lobby and the National Rife Association spin machine goes into high gear. There are nuts on both sides of the border on this take, too. Here in Belleville, some may recall we recently chronicled the ravings of the odious antiIslam blogger Stefanie MacWilliams, who is a fervently far-right pro-American tub-thumper who longs to carry a gun (for protection, don’t you know) and to pick up her toddler son and move to the United States. Within hours of Paddock’s rampage, on Twitter, MacWilliams posted the following gem: “Guns save lives, too. Far more than they take.” It is to weep. Nevada law does not require gun owners to have a permit to purchase or carry rifles and shotguns, according to the National Rifle Association. Fully automatic weapons, like those used by Paddock, are illegal across the US, unless they were purchased and registered prior to 1986. Automatic weapons fire until the ammunition is used up; semi-automatic weapons require the trigger to be pulled for each shot. Semi-automatic weapons are legal in Nevada, but there is no end to the number of easily-accessed instructions, online, on how to convert certain semi-automatic weapons to full-auto fire. As we previously noted, in Nevada you can own, purchase or sell a machine gun that is registered according to federal regulations, which means that you can own a machine gun that was manufactured before 1986. It was clear Paddock possessed and fired at least one of those machine guns – although it’s unclear whether it was a pre-1986 legal model or a modified semiautomatic. Nevada has no law of its own regulating assault weapons, .50-caliber rifles or large-capacity ammunition magazines. A 2013 investiga-

tion from Mother Jones magazine showed that large-capacity magazines, which use more than 10 rounds, were used in half of 62 mass shootings its reporters looked into, including the mass killings in Aurora, Colorado, and the horrific mass killing of young children at a primary school in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. But, while the events of the day draw the public magnifying glass to Nevada gun laws, the broader issue of mass killings in the United States – truly a global phenomenon owing entirely to the country’s ease of gun possession by the masses – still seems to vex most people. Writing in USA Today last year, Northeastern University criminology professor and author of books on mass killings, James Alan Fox, had these observations: “It has become semi-automatic that any large-scale mass shooting will spark furious discussion concerning the role of guns and regulations governing their sale and ownership,” said Fox, using a poorly-timed pun in his statement. “The higher the body count, the more heated the debate between those demanding more gun restrictions and those wanting more gun rights.” You’ve heard the argument among the guncultists in the U.S. and certainly from the NRA – an armed populace can defend itself from such outbursts. In other words, you pull a gun and the rest of us will pull our guns and neutralize you as a threat. Most rational experts agree, though, that that merely creates a greater risk that a shootout involving an assailant and armed citizens would claim more lives. “For example, said Fox, “had moviegoers in Aurora, Colorado pulled out concealed weapons inside the darkened theater, the chaos could have been magnified with many more victims potentially caught in the crossfire. Unlike the gunman who, by virtue of planning, is calm and steady, others are caught by surprise” It seems, for us in North America – the rest of the world looks on in horror tinged with bemusement – this never-ending, sad circus will continue to spin with no resolution so long as the gun lobby is so strong and pervasive in the United States. One of the best, most succinct observations of the day was made in Tweet form by political commentator Dan Hodges: “In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the U.S. gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over.”

How we use the internet is evolving, but can your internet provider keep up? We all love the Internet. Thanks to the availability of millions of new services and apps (as of March 2017, Apple’s App Store alone offered 2.2 million apps1), the Internet is making it easier than ever to work, socialize, play, shop, learn, share and keep ourselves entertained from our laptops, tablets and phones. Our nation spends more time online than any other (36.7 hours/month2) as we use our computers to watch movies and TV, our tablets to read, and our smartphones to browse and play. Internet usage is at an all-time high, as 89% of Canadians connect to the Internet.2 In fact, high-speed Internet has become so important to us that 73% of Canadians say they would be unlikely to purchase a home that didn’t have access to high-speed Internet.2
anything about these problems, so you wait for the connection to improve. Why does this happen? Often, it is because of something called “peak hours.” Peak hours are times of the day when more people are online. Maybe your neighbours are streaming movies, sending emails or just surfing the web. It is during these peak hours, when everyone is online at the same time, that some Internet service providers cannot keep up with demand and your connection becomes unreliable. Considering how important the Internet can be in day-to-day life, the challenges of a bad connection can feel endless.
Does your Internet provider give you the freedom you’re looking for?
We demand a lot of our Internet service, especially with more people online at the same time.
Whether kicking back and relaxing, helping the kids with a school projector putting in some overtime from home, Canadians are more connected than ever. Unfortunately, many of us have difficulty finding an Internet provider that can keep up, all because of where we live. As technology evolves, those who live outside of urban areas continue to be limited to what entertainment we can enjoy, how our families can connect, and where we can work. We should be beyond this problem, shouldn’t we?
If you’re spending time online (and who isn’t these days?), you’re likely familiar with the frustration of slow connection speeds, or an Internet connection that simply doesn’t work. We’ve all experienced these problems: Netflix slows to a standstill, emails sit in your outbox, or that dreaded icon spins endlessly in the middle of your screen. You feel helpless to do

Belleville Police to grow force
BENSON CERTIFIED AUTO SERVICE
2 X REBATES
BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – More cops on the beat; more help on the streets. The Belleville Police Service has approval to hire new people after a new staffing plan proposed by Chief Ron Gignac was approved, almost in its entirety, at a police service board meeting at City Hall Thursday, Sept. 28. The plan addresses a long-standing issue of understaffing and brings the force closer to the provincial norm of 96 officers for a city of 50,000 people. The board authorized the chief to hire two new sworn members, which will bring the sworn force from 88 to 90. These two officers are expected to be hired in December and start Ontario Police College in Jan. 2018. The board also authorized the chief to hire an information technology specialist, in September 2018. This civilian position will assist the one and only IT specialist currently in place. Another of Gignac’s recommendations was for authorization to hire two supplementary sworn officers in May 2018 to cover off four officers who are on leave and have no fixed date to return to duties. That motion wasn’t approved, but instead amended to allow it to be discussed during city budget deliberations next spring. One other bullet in the recommendation, which was approved, allows for police to cover a vacancy left by a sworn member who’s moving to the Ontario Police College for a three- to four-year instructor role. The additions, when all in place, means the

Belleville Police Service will be more able to meet its mandate to make the city “the safety community in Ontario,” said Gignac. That line was in the title of the presentation because “we have to have a goal to aspire to.” Gignac’s impassioned speech to the police board spoke about how staffing changes to the force are overdue. From 1990 to 94, Belleville police had 80 sworn members. Yet, at that time the internet was not mainstream and today police investigations into such issues as child luring, hate crimes, child pornography, suicide posts, and more, are much more complex because of the internet. Meanwhile, the city of Belleville continues to grow. “We know we’re growing and that’s a good thing,” Gignac said. “We, as a police service, have to keep up with our growth.” The approval to hire an IT specialist will be particularly welcome by police officials. Gignac and Deputy Chief Mike Callaghan have spoke in the past about the importance of hiring an IT specialist to work as a crime analyst and use statistics to help police learn where in the city and at what times there’s a propensity for crime to happen. The proposal was passed by the four voting members of the board with little debate or discussion, aside from Coun. Jack Miller’s amendment request. Mayor Taso Christopher who chairs the police board, said Gignac had a good presentation and it is time that the city up its policing level. Belleville must “keep up the standards,” he said, adding, “we can’t do it at the status quo.”

Collision at college Belleville – A two-vehicle collision in heavy rain drew emergency workers to the Loyalist College entrance at rush hour Friday night. The crash, which sent one vehicle into a ditch, occurred at about 5 p.m. The driver of one vehicle was taken to Belleville General Hospital by ambulance and was later released. The investigation is ongoing, police say. It was one of 11 crashes that occurred in the city between 1 p.m. and 1 a.m. Saturday morning.

Belleville – Ontario Special Investigations Unit is examining the circumstances surrounding a “police interaction” that occurred in Belleville Saturday afternoon that ended when a man on a bicycle was struck by a vehicle at the intersection of Coleman and Catharine streets. In a report from the SIU, it was reported that “just before 12:30 p.m. on September 30, 2017, Belleville Police Service officers viewed a man riding a bicycle along the Riverfront Trail. The police officers called to the man, who did not respond but rode away. “A short time later, the man on the bicycle was struck by a southbound vehicle at the intersection of Coleman Street and Catharine Street. “The 33-year-old man was taken to Belleville General Hospital before being transported to Kingston General Hospital. The man is being treated for a number of fractures and other serious injuries.” Police and the SIU closed off the intersection for most of Saturday afternoon while investigating the collision and the circumstances surrounding it. It is believed the man on the bicycle raced across the footbridge over the Moira River on his bicycle and did not slow when he entered the intersection after crossing the bridge, being then struck by the passing vehicle on Coleman. The SIU dispatched two investigators, two forensic investigators and one collision reconstructionist to the incident but no further details were released Sunday.

Yardmen on time, on budget says Fluhrer BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – The Yardmen Arena will be ready for first puck drop, a top city official says. The $20.5 million renovation to the city’s biggest hockey venue needs to be complete by Wednesday, Nov. 1 when the Belleville Senators are scheduled to play their first home game against the Syracuse Crunch. Don’t worry, said Belleville recreation director Mark Fluhrer. “We are pleased to report that as of Friday, Sept. 22 the City’s Yardmen Arena Expansion and Renovation project is on time and on budget,” he said. in a statement released to media before a recent council meeting. He said the final days leading up to Nov. 1 will be hectic, as all the final touches are completed. A new refrigeration system for the rink, the most complex part of the project, was completed mid summer and work in the late summer and fall is related to getting the building, in general, ready to welcome spectators and teams, which will have new dressing rooms. “Many ‘local trades’ persons and labour are being hired by the various sub-contractors and Ball Construction for
this project,” said Peter Lyng, the project manager. “Many local suppliers and companies are working on and/or supplying goods and services to this project as subs to the subs or to Ball themselves.” Lyng added that, on average, there are 110 workers, representing 17 trades, on the site each day. Fluhrer provided more details on the project, when asked about it at the meeting. He said the site may look like chaos today, but it’s “organized chaos.” “We feel very confident – and we don’t take this lightly – in saying we’ll be ready to host a hockey game on Nov. 1, as expected. A number of people are putting
in long hours to ensure that’s the case,” he said. He said workers will soon be installing ice and testing it to make sure the rink is on pace to be ready. He said the plan is to have players and coaches given access to the new dressing room area around Oct. 22. If there are some areas of the arena that aren’t ready by Nov. 1, Fluhrer expects they won’t be significant enough to prevent the city from being able to host a game. “Will all areas be ready? That’s yet to be seen,” he said. “We have a good plan in place and the Belleville Senators will be ready with that.”

Brad’s back after Coyote ugly injury – and a Cousins from Belleville joins him BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Across the continent, in a city in a desert, two Belleville natives were making their way through a National Hockey League training camp last month. The Arizona Coyotes will feature veteran Brad Richardson and up-and-comer Nick Cousins, both centreman who have much to prove this season with the often rebuilding team. Richardson is preparing for his 13th NHL season and his third for the Coyotes, but it won’t be easy for him as he’s recovering from a broken tibia and fibula suffered in a game last November. The injury, which broke his leg bone in half, kept him out for the rest of the 2016-17 season. But his surgically-repaired leg has since healed and he’s again practising with the team. Following a recent practice in which he zipped around the ice, he spoke to Coyotes TV and said he’s feeling good about the upcoming season. “I felt pretty good, I worked hard to get back in shape,” he said. “I had a smile the whole time; it was a lot of fun. “I’m not trying to hold pack. I’m trying to push. There’s still some rust. But getting through camp, getting some bangs, I’m feeling pretty good.” Richardson has a respectable 78 goals and 111 assists in 607 career games, plus a Stanley Cup ring, which he earned with Los Angeles in 2012. He’ll be one of the more veteran players on a young roster that will be lead by new head coach Rick Tocchet. Richardson said the Coyotes will have to cap-
italize on that youth by being a fast, energetic team. “I like our speed and our youthfulness ,” he said. “We should be excited to play every night. We’ll play a fast, upbeat style, which suits us.” Among those young, fast, players is Cousins. The 24-year-old native was acquired by the Coyotes in a trade with the Philadelphia Flyers last summer. The Flyers received a prospect and a fifth-round draft pick in exchange. Cousins – the son of Belleville finance director Brian Cousins – established himself as an NHL regular last year in Philly, as he scored six goals and 10 assists in 60 games. He spent the previous two seasons bouncing between Philadelphia and its American Hockey League affiliate, Lehigh Valley. The addition of Cousins is being celebrated by the Arizona media. In another recent Coyotes TV segment, commentator Tyson Nash described Cousins “as a full energy guy. “He’s exactly what you want when your team needs a spark. You throw Cousins out there. He flies around. He’s like a human pinball out there. He’s got some bite, some grit – he plays a good game. This is a guy Rick Tocchet is going to love and he has great hands. He’s put up big points in junior before. You know it’s in him and hopefully Rick Tocchet can get it out of him.” The Coyotes open their regular season Oct. 5 in Anaheim. The two Belleville natives will have a chance to play in their home province in November. The Coyotes visit the Ottawa Senators on Saturday, Nov. 18 and then visit the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday, Nov. 20.

Former Bulldog, Canada captain inducted to Albert Wall of Honour Belleville – Albert College recognized two world-class athletes and former students during the Belleville private school’s recent All Years Alumni Reunion. Dr. Katya Herman and Morgan Williams are the school’s first athletic inductees into Albert College’s Alumni Wall of Honour. Williams is a former Canadian Rugby World Cup player who attended Albert College as a boarding student for five years and graduated in 1995. The former member of the Belleville Bulldogs Rugby Club was recognized for his accomplishments in rugby on the world stage. Williams, who hadn’t played rugby until he began the sport in Grade 9 at Albert under the tutelage of then-coach Colin Gulliver, debuted in world rugby at 23, scoring two tries for Canada against France in the 1999 Rugby World Cup. He played for Canada’s senior men’s rugby side 51 times, including three World Cups and also played on Canada’s Sevens for two Commonwealth Games. Williams played scrum half in the premier leagues of France and England for seven years and played three times for the invitational touring side, British Barbarians. Williams was inducted by his former teacher

Hammond, Chabot, Harpur sent to Belleville, as Senators get ready for debut weekend in Laval BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – A new era of Belleville hockey starts Friday night. The Belleville McFarlands, an Ontario Hockey Association Senior A team, was the toast of the town in the 1950s and early 60s – especially in ’59 when they won the World Championships. The Belleville Bulls then held local fans’ hearts from the early 80s until 2015, when the team was sold and sent to Hamilton, ending 34 years as an Ontario Hockey League franchise. Now, it’s the Belleville Senators turn. About one year after Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk announced he would bring the NHL team’s minor league affiliate to the Friendly City, the Belleville Senators are about to debut. The team plays its first American Hockey League regular-season games
this weekend at Place Bell, the home of the Montreal Canadiens new AHL affiliate. The first game starts at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. They’ll play again at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. The games will mark Belleville’s first foray into professional hockey. The Macs were technically amateurs. And, as OHLers, Bulls were “semipros.” As the Belleville Sens roster shapes up, it’s becoming clear that this team will be made up of players who are not normally seen in small Ontario towns. Among players assigned to Belleville in the past week were a onetime NHL star goaltender and the most valuable player of last year’s world junior championships. Andrew Hammond, “the Hamburglar” cleared waivers and was assigned to Belleville last Friday. Hammond earned the nickname of “Hamburglar” when he was called
up to the Senators in the second half of the 2014-15 season and went on an incredible puck-stopping run in replace of the Sens’ regular goaltender Craig Anderson, who was injured at the time. Hammond posted a 20-1-2 record that season and a sparkling 1.79 goals against average. He has since come down to Earth and has battled injuries of his own. Last year he played just 11 games between the NHL and AHL – none of them beyond February when he was shut down with a hip injury. Also last week, defencemen Thomas Chabot and Ben Harpur were assigned to Belleville. In Chabot and Harpur, Belleville receives two young defencemen to add to a defence corps that already includes Andreas Englund, Christian Jaros, Patrick Sieloff and Erik Burgdoefer. Named the MVP of the 2017 World Juniors, where he helped Canada win
a silver medal, Chabot made his NHL debut last season, playing in one game for the Ottawa Senators. Harpur has played 11 games in the NHL over the past two seasons. He spent the majority of the 2016-17 season in the AHL with the Binghamton Senators. As of Monday, Oct. 2, the Belleville
Sens had 27 players on their roster, with Max McCormick being added to the team after being cut from Ottawa and clearing waiver. Belleville assigned Daniel Ciampini and Macoy Erkamps to the ECHL’s Brampton Beast. Also Ethan Werek was released from his professional tryout and will also join the Beast.

Comic legend MacDonald coming to Belleville for CMHA tonight Belleville – They say laughter is the best medicine. So, the Canadian Mental Health Association Hastings and Prince Edward Branch is bringing one of Canada’s favourite comedians to Belleville for what’s sure to be one funny fundraiser. Stand-up legend Mike MacDonald will perform tonight, Thursday, Oct. 5 at the Greek Hall at 70 Harder Dr. Tickets for the 19+ event are $20. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. “Day to day, it’s healthy to laugh,” said Sheila Quinn, a CMHA staffer behind the event. “We’re trying to put on a fun event.” The event will also have a cash bar and silent auction. Funds raised will help the CMHA cover a range of services it provides, from helping with the region’s homelessness crunch through operation of its transitional housing units, to providing support to those battling addictions. And MacDonald is a great person for the CMHA to bring in to help with the cause. MacDonald, at age 63, has a had a lengthy career in comedy, highlighted by his CBC prime-time specials from the 1990s, Mike MacDonald on Target and My House My Rules. He’s also gone public with his own struggles with mental health and has spoken about his fight with depression and bipolar disorder. The Canadian Mental Health Association, Hastings & Prince Edward Counties Branch, is a non-profit agency that strives to enhance the mental wellness and quality of life of people in the diverse community. Through direct services, education, advocacy and consumer involvement the organization works together to create an environment that supports mental well-being.

Police raid Moira apartment, Theatre guild season to start seize shotgun Belleville police raided an apartment on Moira Street and arrested a man for possessing a shotgun while under a court-ordered firearms prohibition. Police said in a statement John Collingridge Jr. was arrested after the Belleville police intelligence and street crime unit – with backup from the force’s tactical team – raided an apartment on Moira Street Wednesday, Sept. 27. They seized a loaded .12 gauge shotgun, police said in a
statement. During the course of the raid, police encountered a pitbull type dog that was acting aggressively toward officers. A police official said the animal was “controlled through the use of a nonlethal use of force. Additionally, the dog was alive and well when the officers left the residence.” Collingridge, meanwhile, was held for a show cause hearing Thursday Sept. 28.

As one of Belleville’s oldest and most significant cultural organizations, the Belleville Theatre Guild was front and centre last Friday with its annual Open House as part of Ontario’s Cultural Days. The Pinnacle Playhouse drew an enthusiastic crowd to witness snippets from upcoming shows of the season, membership renewals, volunteer opportunities, information and meet and greet. Then it was up to the stage area where actors from the Thornton Wilder classic, “Our Town” performed a sketch. The show opens Thursday, Oct. 12 and runs through Oct. 28. Next up was a description of “Noises Off,” a classic British sex farce about conflicts within a theatre cast both on and off stage. “Marion Bridge” is named after the real community in Cape Breton where three sisters of various
ages are thrown together and must learn all about each other all over again, followed by “ The Curious Savage” about a wealthy new resident of a nursing home and her family, the other residents and nursing home staff. Moira Nikander-Forrester, director of the guild’s annual musical, practically recruited half or more of her cast by inviting the audience to join her on stage to sing Irving Berlin’s hit song from that show, also an “anthem” of the theatre – “There’s No Business Like Show Business.” Participants from children to seniors were quick to take advantage of the opportunity to join her. Auditions are in late January. The audience was told volunteer opportunities in many aspects of the guild and theatre are always available. Comments from those attending indicated they are looking forward to a fun and exciting season.

Plaque commemorates contributions of British Home Children Canadians and making a solid contribution to their new country.” James Gilchrist, the author of the book Marchmont Distributing Home, explained the home took in “children who were deprived, one way or another.” But, despite the sad nature of the story, the home was a “Godsend,” he said. It was run by religious people who truly believed they were providing the kids “a better home.” The plaque will eventually be installed at the intersection of Yeomans and Moira. It was the sixth and final plaque the historical society unveiled over the summer to celebrate Belleville’s 200th and Canada’s 150th year.
BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – The British Home Children who came to Belleville will never be forgotten. A plaque commemorating the city’s famous Marchmont Distribution Home was unveiled Thursday, Sept. 28 by the Hastings County Historical Society during a touching ceremony at the Belleville Club. The home existed at what is now the area of Yeomans Street and Moira Street West from 1870 to 1925 and took in about 10,000 orphaned, abandoned and impoverished British children.
They were taken from workhouses, industrial schools and the streets and brought across the ocean to be placed as indentured farm workers and domestics. Their stories walk a fine line between tragedy and triumph.

A 26-year-old Quinte West man is facing three child-pornography related charges, following a Belleville Police criminal investigation. Tanner Neron has been charged with possession of child pornography, making sexually explicit material available to a person under 16 years of age and luring a person under the age of 16 by means of telecommunications. In September, 2017, members of the Belleville Police Service Criminal Investigations Division began an investigation into the luring of a boy, under age 16. As a result of this members of the criminal investigations and the tech crimes unit executed a search warrant at a residence in the east end of Quinte West. Neron was released with several conditions. He must not be alone with any person under the age of 18 years, not possess or access a device which can access the internet
and not to be in a park, a school, daycare, ice-rink, pool, or any other public recreation area or facility. He’s scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 26. Anyone with information which would assist in this investigation can contact Det. Sgt. Ian Jarvis of the Criminal Investigations Branch at 613-966-0882 ext. 2312 or Quinte Crime Stoppers.

Budapest’s stunning, mesmerizing ‘Illumination Tour’ BY JOHN M. SMITH
I’ve had the good fortune to enjoy Budapest’s “Illumination Tour” by boat on two separate occasions now, years apart, and if you ever find yourself in this beautiful city, then it’s a not-to-be-missed spectacle. Cruising along the Danube at night is the perfect way to view this magnificent light show, for the river bisects the two parts of the city, Buda and Pest. You’ll then be able to enjoy the eye-popping scenery while taking photos of both well-lit sections of the city from your vantage point – without doing a lot of walking or driving. The first time that I did this illumination tour was several years ago, on my first visit to the capital city of Hungary, and it was part of a package that included a Folklore Concert and a dinner cruise. The concert proved to be a great way for me to get an overview of the music, costumes and traditional dances of Hungary, and then this performance was accompanied by a romantic, panoramic view of the brightly lit city at night via a late-night dinner cruise. However, I still remember that it seemed a bit unusual for me to be dining at such a late hour, for the buffet was at 10:30 pm, which is long past my normal dining time. I recall that I also had some difficulty eating because I kept wanting to grab my camera to get another photo. There were simply so many spectacular sights to see! Well, I found myself back in Budapest this past summer, taking the “Gems of Southeast Europe” AmaWaterways River Cruise, which would take me on the Danube from Budapest to Bucharest. The very first night of the trip included an “Illumination Tour” of this fabulous city. Just like that first time several years ago, I found myself in awe of the beauty that surrounded me on both sides of the river, and I again spent much of the tour capturing the spectacle in photos. One of the most breathtaking views of the cruise has to be the Buda Castle District, for here I saw the white-stoned, castle-like Fisherman’s Bastion (with its seven towers), the Royal Palace, and the graceful tower of the Matthias Church all lit up high above me in the distance. Beneath Budapest’s Castle Hill is a labyrinth of caves, tunnels, and cellars, and night tours of a section of these are open to the public. If you’re spending some time in Budapest, all of these structures would be worthy of individual visits. In particular, I’d check out the Royal Palace, for it houses the Budapest History Museum, the Hungarian National Gallery, and the National Szechynyi Library.
The illuminated Hungarian Parliament Building. John M. Smith/Metroland
The best way to reach the Buda Castle District would be via the funicular, and you’ll be provided, from atop, with a spectacular hillside view of the other side of the city, Pest, which is dominated by its enormous Parliament Building. The Hungarian Parliament is also worth touring, for it houses one of the country’s greatest treasures: the Holy Crown of St. Stephen (Hungary’s first king). Its main cupola is decorated with statues of Hungary’s kings, and there’s a very impressive Grand Staircase, too. One of the more interesting features is the numbered cigar-holders that line the window sills that are just outside the debate chambers. Apparently the smoking politicians could leave their cigars in these holders while they went into the chamber to vote and then could easily find them again, if they remembered the number of their holder. Other eye-popping encounters along the watery route included the spectacularly lit Gellert Hill, Chain Bridge (the oldest bridge linking the two sides), Gresham Place (now a luxury hotel), St. Stephen’s Basilica (the city’s largest church), and the National Theatre. These, of course, are also worth individual visits, if time permits, but I’d particularly recommend check-
ing out Gellert Hill, for here you’ll find the St. Gellert Monument (commemorating the bishop that the hill was named after) and the Citadel (a 19th century fortress that has been used, in the past, as both a prison and an anti-aircraft missile launch pad). It’s also home to Cave Church (which served as both a chapel and a field hospital during WWII) and to the city’s Statue of Liberty. This towering statue, a city symbol, is a very prominent part of Budapest’s cityscape, and it looks particularly impressive when lit up at night. It’s certainly very visible from the deck of a boat. Budapest’s stunning, mesmerizing “Illumination Tour” was the perfect way to begin our latest river cruise! Travelogue: If you’re interested in seeing my photos of this trip, I’m doing a travelogue on Fri. Oct. 20 at 7 pm at Rednersville-Albury Church, 2681 County Road 3 (Rednersville Road) in Prince Edward County.

‘Extraordinary talent’ in medical ranks at QHC BY JACK EVANS
Trenton – A staff full of surprises was what chief of medical staff Dr. Dick Zoutman discovered in his search for 15 new leaders following a massive reorganization of medical leadership. During the meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 26, Dr.Zoutman’s report was one of several major reports before the board, catching up after a two-month summer hiatus. His report dealt with a thrust to combine 26 divisions plus 10 departments into 11 departments, a project which has been in the making for almost a year. One of the new departments is Primary Care, specifically designed to assist the three primary care hospitals at Bancroft, Trenton and Picton. In digging through staff resources throughout the fourhospital complex during interviews for the new department heads, Dr. Zoutman said “we
learned that we have extraordinary talent in our medical ranks at Quinte Health Care, with diverse backgrounds including business, entrepreneurs, computer science, engineering, remote health care administration, Olympians, and a candidate astronaut� with the Space Administration. “Each of the new departments’ chief positions were made medical directors of their respective programs. We have established a community of leadership at QHC where our new exceptional leaders can meet, learn together and support one another,� said Zoutman. He also reported in a streamed diagnostic workshop event for three days, Sept. 1820 on hospital physicians work flow. Part of that was an update on “patient rounding,� a concept that goes back to the ancient Greek Hippocrates, “but it hasn’t been updated much
Quinte Health Care vice-chairman Stuart Wright and Mary Clare Egberts, president and CAO. Jack Evans/Metroland
since� he noted. Rounding, he defined, as simply making regular rounds of patients to see how they are doing, whether there is any
change in their condition and whether treatments are working or not. The streaming involved a large, inter-professional team from both internal and family
medicine. Voted approved in a report from Lynda Mungall, chair of Quality of Patient Care, were the appointments of physician leaders Dr. Rans Perara as medical director, emergency medicine, Dr. Perambir Keila as North Hastings Hospital medical lead and Dr.Norma Charriere as Picton Hospital medical lead. The much-discussed new hospital at Picton took another step forward with adoption of a report from the board’s Audit and Resources Committee to approve the Stage 1 proposal for Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital redevelopment. The 500-page report now goes to the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care for approval, with cost estimates now placed at $65 million plus an $11,134,000 contingency fund. The report also recommends a “wrap around� design and
staffing and operations costs estimates for years into the future, plus a requirement for the local community to raise $12.7 million, which has been agreed to. Mary Clare Egberts report traced some shortfalls in meeting some goals, such as wait times for cancer surgery, due mostly to upgrading the MRI machine and uncovered shifts while waiting for new qualified RNs to be recruited. Meanwhile, much progress has been made, she assured. She also praised a warm relationship with the Quinte regional Emergency Medical Services following a meeting with its chief, Doug Socha. Introduced at the meeting were four new directors, each one with numerous qualifications in the fields of education, health, sciences and more: Jessica Anderson, Bancroft; Peggy Payne, Picton; Peter Dudding, Picton and Kimberly Woodhouse, Trenton.

Tyendinaga growth key topic for special planning meeting BY JACK EVANS
A special public meeting of Hastings County Council last week heard strong input from residents of Tyendinaga Twonship, outlining their concerns about growth in that southeastern township of the county. One key concern for some was the fact that a motion was passed at one point to remove the hamlet of Blessington off the map. Blessington residents countered that even though the motion was rescinded, it got many of them stirred up. They noted that between the last two census report, the tiny community almost doubled in size and continues to grow, surpassing area cities in growth percentage and even rivalling the Golden Horseshoe. They argued, in a signed petition, there remains abundant, suitable housing land in the area and want the boundaries extended by one kilometre in each direction. Justin Harrow, county director of planning, outlined the procedure which has been under way for some years and the timeline for the county
to complete its draft and send to the province. One speaker, Grant Emon, displayed an in-depth study both of the proposed plan and the Provincial guidelines, suggesting the county’s bias against rural growth goes beyond the provincial policies. Council members countered that they are told face to face at various conferences that the province does not want growth in rural areas nor does it want to spend money in the country. But they asked him to provide some specific situations they could argue for at meetings with provincial leaders. Another speaker was Sue Munro, chair of a citizens group against a proposed Melrose quarry operation, also in Tyendinaga, arguing that limited water resources should preclude such developments in favour of rural residential. Their arguments seemed to draw support from council members, who seemed to blamed provincial policies for their quandary but pledged to do their best in future negotiations

LTC student contest open BY SUE DICKENS
Northumberland County — Lower Trent Conservation is looking for creative and innovative students to enter the annual “Caring for our Watersheds” competition. The contest is open to students who have an idea of how to improve their local environment. The program rewards students and their schools who submit the most creative, thought-provoking and innovative ideas. Implementation funding and community mentorship is available to turn the student’s ideas into realistic solutions. Lower Trent is asking for a 1,000 word proposal and their deadline is Jan. 26, 2018. The program is geared to students in grades 7, 8 and 9. Students research their local watershed, identify an environmental concern and come up with a solution. The “Caring for Our Watersheds” contest is a collaborative effort between Lower Trent and Agrium Inc., a worldwide producer and distributor of fertilizers and agricultural products and service.
Its initial commitment of funding has ended so Lower Trent started a fundraising program to continue holding the competition as well as offer other youth environmental programs. The 2017 top prize of $1,000 went to Radana Biaroza, a home-schooled student in Warkworth, for her proposal to develop a survey assessing people’s awareness of environmental issues within the Lower Trent Conservation watershed. Kendrick Webster of Murray Centennial Public School placed second for her rethinking the “Scoop it, Bag it, Trash it” approach to making dog waste disposal more eco-friendly. As well Paige Palmer enlisted the help of her fellow students at Hillcrest Public School to build a rain garden at Campbellford Lions Community Park. The project placed third in the Caring for Our Watersheds contest. For more information ago to www.ltc.on.ca/events/ education/cfow/

A Forest Field Day is open to the public on Saturday, Oct. 14, on a family woodlot just north of Castleton. The Quinte Chapter, Ontario Woodlot Association (OWA) will host a walk and talk, full to the brim with forestry activities, advice and aid. The local chapter of OWA is promoting the walk as “a great opportunity for woodlot owners and nature-lovers to enjoy an all-purpose day in the forest and see the bountiful results of local stewardship labour in a woodlot.” The family woodlot site belongs to George Ryken and includes a trout pond, conifer plantations, and natural upland mixed forests. Ryken will provide a history of his farm and woodlot including his involvement in the American Chestnut Recovery Program. During a walk through the woods, George will provide information on past forest management activities. Professional Forester, David Smallwood, will make suggestions on potential future activities in the natural stands. On the property, there is a commercial thinning planned in the plantations and David will discuss the processes involved in this operation. Woodlot owners will have plenty of time to seek advice on woodlot questions. There will also be opportunities to see invasive species (such as Dog-strangling Vine and Buckthorn) and discuss the best control methods. Members of the Upper Trent Valley, Limestone and Quinte OWA chapters will be there to expand the discussion and add their experience. The event is at 217 Morganston Rd, Castleton, starting at 10 a.m. and finishing about 2 p.m. Lunch will not be provided – however, coffee, tea, cider and snacks will be served. Admission is free for OWA members, and a donation from non-members is welcome.

Young composer’s first symphony a hit in Belleville BY JACK EVANS
For its first public performance, youthful Montreal composer Brett Vachon’s Symphony in C minor was a real family affair. Besides his own presence and remarks at the dress rehearsal and the concert Sunday afternoon at Bridge Street Church, Vachon’s parents, both concert musicians in Montreal, joined the ranks of the Quinte Symphony as proud parents for the world premiere of this work. Vachon commented before the start that he was inspired by 19th century “romantic era” musicians like Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner and even Mendelsohn. Conductor Dan Tremblay and his musical forces played it that way, much to the audience’s delight, which gave the symphony and Vachon a standing ovation. Following a Brahms-like attention getter from percussion and brass the first movement moved into lilting melodies, almost like sea shanties, closing with a thundering “tutti” orchestral finish. More singable, melodic themes arose in the second adagio movement, interspersed with brass fanfares and generous use of percussion and timpani.
Descending scales at times marked the “scherzo” third movement plus dance-like themes, with solos and themes sprinkled cleverly and generously around all parts and players of the orchestra. More melodic themes and solos marked the closing largo movement, often stately, delivering, as the composer promised, something like a symphony from the romantic era that had suddenly been discovered. It was Vachon’s first full length symphony, and in an interview, he made it clear that it was a labour of love, but very difficult and he’s not anxious to write another soon. In a program called “Orchestral Favourites, the second half focussed on French composer Bizet with his “L’Arlesianne Suites” and selections from “Carmen Suite No. 1,” all warmly enjoyed with enough applause to generate a stirring encore of the “Les Torreadors” march from the Left to right, Helene Vachon and Richard Tweney, parents “Carmen Suite,” a rare occurrence at a Quinte Symphony concert. of composer Brett Vachon, enjoy a joint salute with Dan The audience was reminded that at least until the next concert, pa- Tremblay, conductor of the Quinte Symphony. trons can still trade their single seats in on a season’s ticket at 20 per cent Jack Evans/Metroland off, on line or at the Quinte Arts Council office.

Dogs, cats, rabbit and chicken blessed at annual St. Thomas Church event BY JACK EVANS
Belleville - The focus was on animals and pets at St. Thomas Anglican Church Sunday with dozens of dogs and a sprinkling of cats, a rabbit and a chicken that made their way up to the altar for an official blessing. The service has become an annual tradition and the spirit can best be summed up in the closing prayer: “Let us not forget the pet without a home; let us not forget the endangered species; as we ask divine assistance for those affected by fire, flood, earthquake, storm or drought, let us remember that this includes every living thing; in seeking cures for human disease, may be also speak for the well-being of the planet itself.” There were also words of comfort for pets who have now gone and of gratitude for pets in individual lives. Rev. Brad Beale used the example of St. Francis of Assisi as human compassion and humility. The service marked the start of a busy month for the parish, with the annual Harvest Festival set for next Sunday, a special choral evensong with traditional cathedral music at 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 15 and Later Life Learning lectures on Wednesday mornings on the theme of Canada at 150. The church is also seeking a cast to perform the classic play: “Murder in the Cathedral” by T.S. Elliot on Dec. 28 and 29. Those interested may contact the director, Darren Cole at (613) 920-0711, or David Smith of the Bicentennial Committee at (613) 967-4814. The play is intended as a prelude to the church’s 200th anniversary in 2018.
Pets had a chance to meet and greet in the parish hall of St. Thomas Anglican Church before the blessings of the animals service Sunday. Left to right are Rachel Gelinas with Hudson, George Calderone with Molly, and Sheila Noise, with Theo. Except for a few yelps and whines, the dozens of dogs were well –behaved throughout the service. Jack Evans/Metroland
The Rev. Brad Beale, right, greeted and blessed each pet brought to the altar individually at the close of the service. Jack Evans/Metroland

Hastings County to get “plaqued” BY JACK EVANS

SHOP SMART Save more on your weekly shopping.
The placement of five plaques throughout Belleville in recent months, marking historically significant events, places or people doesn’t mean the rest of Hastings County is being left out. Hastings County Historical Society President Richard Hughes, in delegation to county council last week reminded that the project also involves five plaques, yet to be decided, to be scattered throughout the county. Hughes said research is now under way and he invited suggestions from each municipality for at least one or more ideas which the society will then research and decided which to use for placings and ceremonies next summer. “We are the county historical society and we want the entire county to be involved in this,” he stressed. The Village of Tweed has one suggestion ready, said Mayor Jo-Anne Albert. She referred to the all-women council which was elected in 1967 and served a full term. The story at the close of the election that year, swept across news coverage in the Quinte area and Ontario as a female reeve and all members of council made a first for the province. Also making a delegation to council were representatives of the regional Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society, promoting the colour purple during October as child protection month and
other child welfare promotions. Council promptly passed proclamations for Child Abuse Prevention Month, National Foster Family Week, Oct. 15-21 and November as Adoption Awareness Month. Several councillors also had questions about the society’s operations such as their territory (Hastings, Prince Edward and Northumberland counties) and their handling of files, in terms of what complaints are investigated and what files are closed. CAS speakers stressed that keeping families together is their prime concern and that is exactly what happens in 97 per cent of all cases. Also ratified was the detailed report from the Community and Human Services Committee outlining the county’s participation in the Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centres. The network as adopted, will see such centres going into the Bancroft area, Centre Hastings, Quinte West and Belleville and southeast Hastings, starting some time next year at various locations. In another report, the regional Employment Connections department helped arrange jobs for 115 participants, reducing the caseload to just under 2,900 persons. One major bylaw passed was a detailed new Code of Conduct for all council members, staff and non-council participants in county programs and agencies.

EQAO report numbers encouraging, say school boards Belleville – The official line: both school boards in the region are “pleased” with their provincial competency testing scores. But, the devil’s always in the numbers when it comes to testing grade school students in English and math. Officials from two local school boards are looking at the positives, as they pore through data released from the Education Quality and Accountability Office. The results from standardized tests conducted by the office, known in education circles simply as EQAO, were released recently. Students in Grade 3, 6 take the tests every spring to assess their reading, writing and math skills. Grade 9 students also take a math test and Grade 10 students take a literacy test. The same tests allow schools boards to look at the achievements of their students and teachers, overall, and see where improvements are needed. The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board – which serves students from Trenton to Kingston – released a statement saying it’s pleased with its scores. “The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board is pleased to note that trends in reading and writing
have continued to increase over the past five years. In addition, mathematics results have increased when compared to the 2015-2016 data.” Within the Catholic board, 831 primary students and 744 junior students were eligible to participate in the assessment last May and June. The Catholic board said that Grade 3 students demonstrated a seven per cent increase in reading (73 per cent of students achieved Level 3 or 4) and a two per cent increase in writing (74 per cent of students achieved Level 3 or 4). In addition, primary students showed a 2 per cent increase in mathematics (59 per cent of students achieved a Level 3 or 4). Grade 6 students showed a 1 per cent increase in areas of reading (81 per cent of students achieved a Level 3 or 4), while writing remained unchanged (80 per cent of students achieved Level 3 or 4). Junior students demonstrated a one per cent increase in mathematics (45 per cent of students achieved Level 3 or 4). “The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board is pleased with our positive trends in reading and writing over the past five years as well as our improvements in numeracy over the past year,” said David Giroux, superintendent of school effectiveness. “We will continue
to focus on Year 2 of our Renewed Math Strategy, which includes working directly with school leaders and math learning partners in all of our elementary schools.” The Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board released a statement, saying that it’s pleased with its results in primary and junior reading and writing, when looking at a long-term trend.
“Looking at a 10-year continuum of results in the primary and junior assessments reinforces that gains are being made in primary and junior reading and writing,” the statement says. HASTINGS & PRINCE EDWARD DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD“This year, students experienced gains the area of primary reading with small declines in primary writing and junior reading and writing. “We believe in our students’ abilities and have confidence in our teachers who are striving to help all students achieve provincial standards in all grades and pathways,” said Cathy Portt, the
HPEDSB’s superintendent of education. “We are committed to preparing all students for graduation, for their chosen career pathway and for life-long learning. Primary and junior assessments were written by HPEDSB students in May. They measured student achievement in reading, writing and math in relation to a common provincial standard of Level 3 or 4. This year HPEDSB students made gains of 3 percentage points in primary reading, while continuing to show gains in reading and writing over a 10-year period. Here are the percentages of students who reached Level 3 or 4 in the following primary areas: Reading 61; writing 57; math 47. Here are the percentages of students who reached Level 3 or 4 in junior areas: reading 67, writing 62, math 32. On Grade 9 math scores, HPEDSB students are holding steady over the past 10 years, the board says. Last year, 76 per cent of students reached Level 3 or 4 in academic math. Forty-one per cent of students reached Level 3 or 4 in applied math. Most Grade 10 students in the HPEDSB also took the Grade 10 Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test. The test is a graduation requirement, but a student
can defer taking it to a later time. Deferral rates decreased from 15 per cent in 2011 to 4 per cent in 2017. Ninety per cent of students achieved Level 3 or 4 in academic results. Forty-two per cent reached Level 3 or 4 in applied course results. Three per cent achieved Level 3 or 4 in locally developed course results. The HPEDSB also reminded that EQAO scores don’t represent the full picture of student success. “EQAO assessments are one type of assessment data used to inform planning at the school and board levels,” the statement read. “Ongoing classroom assessments and report card results in literacy and mathematics are also taken into consideration to present a more complete picture of student achievement.” Yet, the results will still be taken to heart, as educators strive for improvement. “A continued focus on literacy, building on the successes in elementary grades, is required to ensure that students meet literacy graduation requirements. This will help to ensure that students are well-prepared for today and their future careers. The continued focus required in mathematics to address achievement gaps is a priority locally and provincially.”

All about sharing ideas in first Youth-2-Youth summit BY TAYLOR BERTELINK
While many students relaxed at home during their PA day, more than 150 students instead took the opportunity to spend it at the first Youth-2-Youth summit on Friday (Sept. 30). “Youths often have great ideas, but they may not know how to be engaged. I know that they have diverse and different perspectives to offer and this is a way that youths can share their perspectives, concerns and can have a voice,” said 23-year-old Maddison Ellis, organizer of the Youth-2-Youth summit. Students from Bancroft, Madoc, Belleville, Napanee, Picton and Quinte West gathered at the Tyendinaga Township Recreation Hall to network with peers, professionals and community leaders regarding local issues and topics of interest. “We wanted to get youths from all different regions together in one room to connect
them,” explained Ellis. The free event invited youths ages 14 to 25 to take part in intelligent discussions lead by workshop leader Ryan Porter and had the opportunity to talk with local dignitaries over lunch. The event was inspired by a similar initiative that Ellis as well as other organizers participated in over the summer. Intrigued by the idea, she decided to bring the first Youth-2Youth summit to the local area. Eager to learn, youths engaged in topics of discussion such as mental health, the environment, poverty in youth, gender equality, entrepreneurship, filling community gaps, social media use and harm reduction. “We want them to brainstorm ideas and come up with innovative solutions to different problems — we can then share what they've come up with today with our mu-

nicipal, community and business leaders,” explained Ellis. “So many adults want to tap into the youth perspective but don't know how to get it and youths may not know where to give opinion,” she added. Seventeen-year-old Moira Secondary School student Jordan Cohen described the event as “an awesome opportunity.” After first hearing about it, Cohen knew he wanted to sign up as he is a true believer in promoting youth voices. “When parliament and community members give us the mic and the chance to express our opinions, we shouldn't squander the opportunity, instead we should take it and push it forward — our voice can invoke change, not just for youths in Belleville and surrounding areas, but for all of Canada and more importantly the world,” he said. At the end of the summit staff signed certificates so that youths can put the workshop on their resumes. High School students were also able to receive community volunteer hours for their participation. Ellis said that the day exceeded her expectations and hopes to make this a yearly event. “This is just chapter one. We hope to continue this event, but we also want to take what we learn today from the youths and to come up with an action plan. We don't want the ideas to die here, we want to carry it forward — this is just the first step in a long journey,” she said.
Ryan Porter, workshop leader at the Youth2-Youth summit speaks to youths about empowerment, engagement, and volunteerism. Porter has spoken to more than half a million students about his experiences in hopes of inspiring other youths. Taylor Bertelink/Metroland
will be diagnosed with breast cancer October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. One in 8 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and thanks to life-saving research, about 87 per cent of women diagnosed with breast cancer will survive for at least five years. What is breast cancer? Breast cancer starts in the cells of the breast, sometimes these cells change and no longer grow or behave normally. These changes could possibly lead to non-cancerous (benign) breast conditions as well as non-cancerous tumours. But sometimes these changes can lead to breast cancer. There are various types of breast cancer the main two are ductal carcinoma and lobular carcinoma. Screening: All provinces and some territories have organized breast cancer screening programs for women aged 50 to 69 years. If you are in this age group, your province will automatically invite you to take part in the breast screening program. Some
programs allow younger or older women to participate. The screening program will send a letter reminding you when to have your next screening mammogram. You can contact your provincial or local breast screening program to book an appointment. To find out more about mammography and to help you decide if screening is right for you visit www. mybreastsmytest.ca Some women are at higher than average risk for breast cancer. You may be at a higher risk of breast cancer if you have: • A strong family history of breast cancer • Certain gene mutations, such as the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation • A personal history of lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), invasive breast cancer or atypical hyperplasia • Dense breast tissue • Received radiation therapy to the breast or chest Talk to your doctor about your risk.
