Coun. Kelly McCaw fails on motion for Sens deal details

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – City hall won’t be releasing details on an agreement it recently reached with the Ottawa Senators to bring the American Hockey League to the city – at least not in the coming days, as two councillors hoped.

A motion by Coun. Kelly McCaw calling on the intricate financial details of the plan to be released by Oct. 31 failed at the Monday, Oct. 24 council meeting.

Only McCaw and Coun. Mitch Panciuk voted to support it.

Mayor Taso Christopher and Councillors Garnet Thompson, Mike Graham, Paul Carr, Jackie Denyes, Egerton Boyce and Jack Miller all opposed it.

The vote came after a lengthy discussion, during which councillors spoke about balancing their obligation to be transparent with taxpayers while respecting a non-disclosure agreement that was signed by all parties and following laws that bound municipal officials.

Council was told that if the motion was supported, staff would be asked to violate the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA).

City clerk Matt MacDonald said the city will likely be in a position to release the information that McCaw is

requesting by mid November.

In deals like the one the city reached with the Sens, a “third party” has a 30-day period to meet a municipality’s request to make information on their deal public.

In most cases, a short extension period is asked for, and granted, MacDonald added.

That situation made most councilors comfortable with opposing the motion, although many admitted they feel uncomfortable in withholding information from taxpayers for an extended period of time.

“The contents of what Kelly McCaw is asking; I think the public should know when the time is right,” said Coun. Mike Graham.

Jack Miller had similar thought, but acknowledged that the information must come out soon.

“If you have silence, you have questions; it allows people to think something’s not right,” he said.

But he stressed that “eight of nine (on council) supported (the Senators deal). From that perspective we obviously feel it’s best for the community.

At the same time, I’d be happy to put information out there – information that’s allowed. The public has the right to know; absolutely.”

McCaw announced her intention to present the motion two weeks earlier, saying that she was, at one time sup-

22 she felt the terms of the agreement

had changed.

She was the only councillor who voted in opposition to the city signing a deal to bring the Ottawa Senators farm team to Belleville, starting in the 2017-18 season. The vote, which occurred on Sept. 26, also involved a

commitment to spend about $20 million to upgrade the Yardmen Arena.

“I never intended to get elected to keep shrouds of secrecy,” she said, when presenting the motion on Monday.

Man found in street dies of injuries Belleville – Belleville police say a city man has died of injuries sustained in an ‘altercation’ in the city’s west end.

Tuesday, police said 24-year-old Aaron Rushlow died in hospital Monday following an altercation on Sunday in which he was found lying in the

street on Walmsley Place, off Avondale Road.

Rushlow was transported to Kingston General Hospital where he later died of his injuries.

Police in a statement said they believe that Rushlow and another person were in some kind of altercation

and there was an “interaction between the vehicle and the deceased” but no further details have been released.

Belleville police are asking anyone with information is asked to contact D/Cst McAuley at 613-966-0882 ext.

Knives and a machete used in early morning downtown brawl Belleville – Belleville police broke up a large melee downtown early last Wednesday morning – one involving knives, a stabbing and a machete.

In a statement issued by city police, officers were dispatched at 1:30 a.m.

Oct. 19 to Front Street after police received “numerous 911 calls regarding a group of males on Front Street engaged in a fight involving knives and a large machete.”

According to police, “officers flooded the area in numbers as suspects fled in different directions.

Three suspects were chased down by

police and arrested and one male was taken to BGH with stab wounds that were minor in nature. A machete was recovered on the side of the road on Front Street.”

Later Wednesday, police issued a statement that two men had been arrested in the incident.

Benjamin Bellerive, 20, was arrested and charged with possession of a dangerous weapon. He was released on a promise to appear with a court date in November.

Richard Han, 34, was arrested and charged with two counts of assault

Trenton man pleads in standoff case Belleville – Vitali Chabanov engaged police in a five-hour standoff in Trenton last June and was found to be harbouring a marijuana grow-op when police finally disarmed him and arrested him.

This week, Chabanov, 29, pleaded guilty to uttering threats and production of marijuana and was given a non-custodial sentence in Belleville regional court.

Justice Stephen Hunter gave Chabanov a six-month non-custodial sentence, following one day in jail, with 18 months of probation to follow. He was given credit for 30 days in custody, pre-trial, and was also issued a 10year weapons ban, ordered to submit a DNA sample and must take part in anger management counselling.

Panciuk, who often votes in lockstep with McCaw, also said it’s important for taxpayers to see the full details.

He said he supported the deal to bring the Senators to town, but feels the city shouldn’t withhold information any longer.

“I never went into public office to see how we can keep people from knowing how we’re spending taxpayers dollars,” he said. “This was the hardest decision I’ve had to make at this table.”

Continued from Page 3

Carr, who likewise often votes along with Panciuk and McCaw, said he couldn’t support the motion or his seatmates because of the legal implications with FIPPA. He asked McCaw how she felt about the motion, after hearing it would ask staff to break the law.

McCaw said “I’m not asking anyone to break the law,” and stressed that she felt it was important to give the city a firm deadline by which to release information, or else it might not happen at all, in her words.

OPINION

A Tale of Two Cities Two great sieges are getting underway in the Middle East, one in Mosul in Iraq and the other in Aleppo in Syria. They have a great deal in common, including the fact that the attackGwynne Dyer ers both depend heavily on foreign air power, but they are treated by most international media as though they were completely different events. How similar they are will become clearer with the passage of time.

Sieges of cities, once a major part of warfare, grew rare in the course of the 20th century, mainly because of the rise of air power. You didn’t need to besiege cities any more, because you could just smash them to smithereens from the air: Guernica, Dresden, Hiroshima. But that’s not so easy in the era of instant global media coverage.

Seventy years without a really major war have allowed us to develop a major dislike for killing civilians from the air. Nobody on either side would have been the least bit reluctant to blast Aleppo or Mosul into oblivion in 1945 if it served their strategic purposes, but moral tastes have changed.

Every civilian death from bombing in Iraq and Syria – but not the thousands of other civilian casualties each month – is therefore publicly catalogued and condemned.

The Russians are taking enormous criticism over their bombing of the rebel-held eastern part of Aleppo (although the indiscriminate “barrel bombs” are the work of the Syrian air force, not the Russians).

The US air force has been much more careful about its bombing around Mosul so far, but it too will end up having to choose between bombing the city heavily and seeing the Iraqi government’s attack fail.

Both Mosul and eastern Aleppo are Sunni Muslim cities facing an attempted reconquest by Shia-dominated national governments. In both cases the rebel fighters who control the besieged areas are jihadi extremists: Islamic State in Mosul, and the Nusra Front in eastern Aleppo.

(In Aleppo, the jihadis number perhaps a thousand out of ten thousand fighters, but they dominate both the fighting and the decision-making.)

In both cases, too, the troops on the government side are divided by ethnic and sectarian differences, and largely unreliable.

Belleville News 250 Sidney Street Belleville, ON K8P 3Z3 Phone: 613-966-2034 Fax: 613-966-8747 Published weekly by:

Which is why, in the end, government victory in both countries depends on foreign air power.

In Aleppo, the troops leading the attack on the ground are mostly Shia militias recruited from Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan and paid for by Iran. Actual Syrian army troops have been decimated and exhausted by five years of war, and those who remain are being carefully husbanded. So they wait for the Russians to bomb the defenders to pieces, and just use the troops to mop up afterwards.

In the case of Mosul, the attacking forces are even more varied. The Iraqi government’s regular troops are mostly Shia, and the pro-government militias are entirely Shia and notorious for treating Sunnis badly. Since almost everybody left in Mosul is Sunni, they are terrified of the government’s troops.

The Iraqi govenment has therefore promised that Shia militias will not enter the city, nor will the Kurdish troops that are assisting in the early part of the offensive. What this means, however, is that very few soldiers will actually be fighting once the attack reaches the edge of the city proper.

There will be perhaps 25,000 Iraqi regular army troops in the final assault, of whom maybe half can be relied on to fight. There will be around 5,000 American troops in the area, but they are not allowed to engage in direct combat. And there are about 1,500 Turkish army troops who have been training a Sunni militia north of Mosul (but the government in Baghdad has ordered them to leave).

Islamic State’s five or six thousand fighters have had years to prepare their defences, and street fighting uses up attacking troops very fast. Even “precision” airstrikes in urban areas always mean lots of dead civilians, but central Mosul will not fall unless the United States uses its air force to dig the defenders out.

Even the current advance across relatively open country south and east of Mosul relies on the massive use of air power to keep the attackers’ casualties down. When the troops reach the city limits, the whole operation will stall unless the US government starts serious bombing in the built-up area.

If it does that, then the civilian casualties will be quite similar to those inflicted by the Russian air force in eastern Aleppo.

But the Western media will doubtless still find ways to see a huge difference between the two.

Don’t let fear ruin Halloween Editorial by Chris Malette You know it’s a sure time of the change of seasons when the leaves are in the wind and lawn displays for Halloween begin to appear.

It’s Halloween season and that can only mean one thing as certain as candy sizes are getting smaller and prices go up at the same time – it’s scare-mongering season.

That’s right, it’s time to cringe in fear that little Ethan or Mercedes (it’s 2016, no one’s named Jane or Johnny any more) will come home and bite into a fentanyl-laced chocolate bar, slip a razor-infused Tootsie Roll into his or her mouth or, worse, be attacked by a scary clown.

Ah, yes, scary clowns.

It’s all the rage, these creepy clowned-up characters who are wandering about, scaring the bejeebers out of the general populace. Can you say ‘first world problem’ when one considers that someone in clown garb is striking terror in the hearts of the North American populace as Halloween approaches? You want real terror, go to Aleppo or Mosul.

Creepy clown sightings aren’t new, by the way.

They date, according to research done by the New York Times, from at least May 1981, “when the cryptozoologist Loren Coleman coined the term ‘phantom clowns’ to describe them. At the time, children in Brookline, Mass., were reporting clowns in vans who beckoned them with promises of candy. The police issued an all-points bulletin, established checkpoints and conducted searches, but no clowns were captured.”

Lately, you’ll see the occasional news report of police cuffing one of these poor mooks, but rarely do you hear of a charge. Some clown – and we mean that in the most dismissive, pejorative term – in Picton allegedly punched someone before running off, recently.

But, still, we’ll terrorize our kids and some adults with the spectre of gruesome clowns waiting in bushes this Halloween to frighten anyone who comes along.

We’ve seen in the past where communities will advertise a “safe alternative” to trick-or-treating by holding a community shell-out at a rink or mall.

Trenton, we notice, is doing just that with their “Boofest” from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. at the Duncan McDonald rink. No disrespect or ill-will to the people who work hard to put this on, but since when was trick-or-treating ever an inherently dangerous thing to do?

Seems every few years, a new wave of hysteria is whipped up to prompt quavering parents to keep the kids in a small sphere of visiting only neighrbours they trust, family members and, for heaven’s sake, even their local church as they don’t trust any other places for their precious, bubble-wrapped darlings to visit.

In Memphis, Tennessee, Dr. Jon McCullers, Chief Pediatrician at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, was quoted last Halloween as saying, yes, “parents have to remain vigilant,” but said in an online interview that the spectre of drug-tainted candy isn’t “on their radar” at the renowned children’s hospital.

“We haven’t seen that here at Le Bonheur,” Dr. McCullers declared. “(The annual scare over drugged candy) goes back to when I was a kid. Everybody worried about that sort of thing.”

And they still do. Yet, think about it. Of the millions of kids who trot out with mom and dad, showing remarkable ingenuity, in their creativity to come up with costumes that are “awwww, isn’t that cute” inducing, how many really come up with a pin in an apple or a hit of speed in their ju-jubes?

None. Or next to none.

That’s why it is the lone, rare news item that comes up on November 1 that carries the headline “Tampered candy found in Upper Musquodoboit.”

There have, even back in our day, been reports of bullies who may occasionally shove a child to the ground and swipe his or her candy. But, is it a scourge of these roving zombies, hell-bent to snatch your kid’s Skittles? Not anywhere in any numbers worth reporting and police statistics bear that up.

Sure, there will be volunteer groups walking our streets wearing reflective vests, making sure the bad apples aren’t after the candy apples (does anyone even give those out any more??) and that is a nice gesture.

But, this Halloween, let’s remember it’s a time for the wee ones – and this means wee ones, not 15 and 16 year-olds – to go out, dress up, walk with mom and dad or their friends and have a little fun while filling their pillow cases and plastic pumpkins.

It’s definitely not a time to be rendered paralyzed with fear that the creepy clown is ready to pounce and the weird old fella down the block is just waiting to drug little Ezekiel or Zoe. Lighten up and light up those jack-o-lanterns.

Have a little fun. It’s contagious.

Belleville city council votes to put casino money into reserve funds

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – The city will put money generated from its new Shorelines Casino into seven different reserve funds, the largest one being a fund for road maintenance and rehab projects.

It’s a decision that should make it easier for city officials to appease taxpayers whenever complaints about crumbling roads and bridges arise.

Early in 2016, council struck a deal with Great Canadian Gaming to bring Shorelines Casino Belleville to Bell Boulevard. Construction of the large facility is underway and the operation is expected to open around March of 2017.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corpora-

tion, which oversees casinos such as this one, provides the community with a hosting fee. Every three months, the city will get a cheque for 5.25 per cent of the first $65 million the casino earns from electronic games, as well as four per cent of money earned through table games. This is the same arrangement for every Ontario community that hosts a casino or slot facility.

Council discussed the idea of the reserve funds at the Monday, Oct. 24 council meeting, during committee-of-the-whole, when a report by city finance director Brian Cousins was presented.

The proposal, which passed unanimously, called for sixty-five percent of casino funds to go towards a “maintenance/rehab” fund.

Five per cent will go towards a “land acquisition” fund and five per cent will go to a “vehicle/ equipment replacement” fund.

Ten per cent will go to a “development infrastructure fund,” another five per cent will got to a “social infrastructure fund” and the final five per cent will got to a “disaster mitigation/contingency fund.”

These funds can be accessed at council’s discretion, explained Cousins, meaning there’s no legal requirement on how much must be put in and taken out of each one.

He also suggested council review how to spend casino money at the start of each munici-

pal term.

Many councillors agreed that it’s a good idea to put the money into reserves and not commit to specific projects, since it’s not possible to know precisely how much casino revenue will come in each year.

Cousins stressed the city won’t be able to use casino revenue until 2018.

Yet, when that happens Belleville will have more flexibility to assign money to special project.

“It will alleviate stress on our budgets,” said Coun. Jack Miller. “We’ve been waiting 15 years for this and it seems like it’s 15 weeks away.”

Alert Rudolph: Belleville’s Santa parade has new route Belleville – City councillors are hopefully now on Santa Claus’s nice list, after endorsing a new route for the city’s Nov. 20 parade that should meet safety concerns.

The new route will start at Bridge and Sidney streets, so it can be staged at the fairgrounds. It will travel east on Bridge until it gets to Front Street. It will then travel north on Front Street and continue onto North Front Street. It will end in the parking lot of Quinte Secondary School.

The new route is almost opposite of the previous route, which started behind QSS and travelled south on North Front and Front, before turning west on Bridge Street and ending at the courthouse.

The Belleville & District Chamber of Com-

merce, which organizes the annual event, had hoped to create a new start and stop point this year, due to safety concerns.

The Chamber didn’t want the parade to end in the courthouse area, at Bridge and Yeomans streets, because the number of floats there causes congestion.

And Chamber staff also liked the fairgrounds as a better staging area, due to space and lighting concerns in the QSS area.

However, at the Oct. 11 council meeting, councillors opposed a plan for a route that travels mostly on Bridge Street. They wanted to ensure the parade travels along Front Street, which has recently been re-constructed to attract more tourists. This year’s parade is expected to begin at 4:30 p.m.

Don’t mess with election rules, delegation tells council

Belleville – Beware of Bill 181, a new piece of Ontario legislature intended to modernize elections and give municipalities the option of a ranked ballot in future elections.

That was the message from a delegation that spoke to Belleville city council on Tuesday, Oct. 11.

Toronto city councillor Justin DeCiano spoke for the group, which included former Belleville councillor Jodie Jenkins and Richard Ciano, director of the politically-orchestrated group called Keep Voting Simple.

The group, promoted widely by Conservatives who oppose any form of Liberal changes to voting procedures in any level of government, denounced the idea of ranked ballots and lobbied for the city to keep a traditional first-pastthe-post system.

First-past-the-post is a term used for a traditional Canadian municipal election, where a candidate with the majority of votes wins. A ranked ballot system allows a municipality to put together a more complex election, where voters can select a first, second and maybe even third choice on their list of candidates.

DeCiano said Bill 181 is the result of “activists” in Toronto and said the media has mislead the public in the effectiveness of ranked ballot systems.

“It’s abundantly clear that ranked voting suffers from a number of democratic shortcomings

“It’s abundantly clear that ranked voting suffers from a number of democratic shortcomings that cannot be overcome.”

TORONTO COUNCILLOR JUSTIN DECIANO

that cannot be overcome,” DeCiano said, later adding that “ranked voting does not guarantee a majority result.”

He criticized ranked ballot elections for being confusing to voters and costly to taxpayers.

But, most of all, they have the potential to create a system where a voter’s voice is silenced, he insisted. In other words, their ballots are “exhausted,” said DeCiano.

Bill 181 in Ontario is known as the Municipal Elections Modernization Act. The act will change the way municipal elections are run in Ontario in a number of ways, and ranked balloting is just one potential impact. The act also shortens the time period in which candidates can sign up to run and changes rules on how candidates can fundraise.

City of Belleville officials are already poring over the act and council expects to make decisions on how to educate the public about the Act head of the 2018 municipal election.

Council voted to receive the delegation with no further action on the presentation.

Phase 3 of downtown project should be split up, report recommends

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – Details are emerging on how Belleville might tackle Phase 3 of its City Centre Revitalization Project.

The topic was discussed at a Mayor’s Implementation Team meeting on Oct. 13, where a report by Belleville’s Director of Engineering Rod Bovay recommended the project be broken into two parts, over two years, at a cost of $12.2 million.

The MIT is essentially a subcommittee of council so ideas endorsed there are later brought before council. The report sets the stage for another interesting discussion, as previous reports on the downtown project have sparked emotion at the council table, particularly relating to taxpayer money.

The City Centre project was originally pegged to cost the city about $21 million and two years ago a decision was made to break the project into three phases over three years.

Phase 1, on the northern portion of Front Street was completed in the fall of 2015. Phase 2, which turned the middle section of Front Street to a large hole and impacted numerous business this past summer, is nearly complete.

Those two phases have taken up roughly all of the original budget, owing to unexpected costs that arose in the Phase 1 process, when the city began to replace century-old underground infrastructure.

Phase 3 work is intended to spruce up the southern end of Front Street, the downtown block of Bridge Street, McAnnany Street and

Market Street.

“What we have learned from the first two phases of the project is that the work in Phase 3 is very likely too much to complete in a single construction season; therefore it is recommended that the work be planned to occur over two seasons,” Bovay’s report read. “This option would have the entire Phase 3 works tendered as one contract with construction commencing in late 2017 and carrying through 2018.

“This approach would have the contract issued in the spring 2017 with an expected summer commencement date of August 2017 and have the work on Bridge Street East completed in 2017. The remaining work would be scheduled for 2018 completion; however Market Street and/or McAnnany Street may also be considered for 2017.

“Delaying construction until summer 2017 will provide the benefit of not having traffic and general disruptions to the public early in the year; while tendering as one contract will provide cost certainty and a clear commitment to completing the Downtown work.”

Although that was the option recommended

by Bovay, his report contained two other options for the city to consider. Option 2 was to also have the work divided into two projects, but to have those projects tendered separately.

However, that option is projected to be more expensive, with a cost of $12.6 million.

Option 3 was to break the project into three separate projects at a total price of $12.9 million.

Batawa Ski Hill kicks off with low prices and Ski Swap

By Erin Stewart

Trenton – With daylight hours growing shorter and temperatures dropping, winter is just around the corner and the Batawa Ski Hill is preparing for another season on the slopes.

The annual Ski Swap is being held at the Batawa Community Centre, 81 Plant Street in Batawa, from November 4-6.

The event is a fundraiser for the Batawa Ski Racing Club (BSRC) where both new and used equipment is sold, typically including adult and children’s skis, snowboards, boots, poles, helmets, goggles and bags, stated the racing club’s website.

“It also provides an opportunity for people to sell used equipment they have outgrown,” said Carolyn McColl, chairperson of the BSRC board of directors. “The Ski Swap is the kick off for our racing season and provides the first opportunity for our racers to register for the racing season… funds raised cover approximately 25 to 30 per cent of our annual budget.”

Used equipment is sold on consignment, with the owner receiving 85 per cent of the selling price. Items for sale can be dropped off between 5-8 p.m. on Friday Nov. 4 at the Batawa Community Centre.

The equipment sale begins on Saturday Nov. 5, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and continues on Sunday Nov. 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Batawa Ski Hill’s pass sale is on now, in-

cluding a $99 night pass, half the cost of last year’s price.

“More than anything we want to make skiing and snowboarding affordable for as many families as possible,” said Hannah Brown, communications co-ordinator at Batawa Ski Hill.

“By providing a less expensive night pass option we hope more people will be using the hill this winter.”

After a warm and wet winter last year, Brown said the hill needs the community support this season.

Batawa also offers special rates for a student and senior season pass, family season pass, tiny tykes and corporate season pass.

Brown said they are also planning on hosting more events at the hill this season.

“Including some pub nights and wine tastings,” she said. “Chef Nelson is preparing some amazing menus and working with local breweries and wineries with a goal of making Batawa Ski Hill a destination for enjoying locally sourced food and drinks.”

Batawa has also welcomed Brian Diedenhofen as the new General Manager at the hill.

Diedenhofen joins the team at Batawa after working at the Mansfield Ski Club for 16 years, most recently as the director of snow school.

Quinte Ballet School guest lecturer teaches Bournonville style

By Terry McNamee

Belleville – Students at the Quinte Ballet School of Canada took part in a demonstration of the Bournonville style of ballet during a special presentation by Danish professional ballet dancer Henning Albrechtsen on Tuesday, Oct. 17.

Originally from Denmark, Albrechtsen specializes in the Bournonville style, named for 19th century Danish ballet master and choreographer August Bournonville.

“It’s my privilege to pass on the tradition of Bournonville,” Albrechtsen said. “He was a fantastic choreographer.”

He explained that this type of training and choreography features a lot of flowing, graceful movement and quick footwork, and is quite different from the Russian style of ballet. Both were developed in the mid-1800s.

Albrechtsen said he knew from an early age that he wanted to dance, but it was not until he saw ballet for the first time that he realized that was what he wanted to do. He began ballet training at age 12 and became a dancer at Royal Danish Ballet in 1985.

From 2000 to 2007, he was the Deputy Artistic Director of the Royal Danish Ballet. He trained as a teacher at the National Ballet School of Canada and is now a full-time faculty member at the Royal Danish Ballet. He has taught the Bournonville technique at many ballet schools around the world. the Bournonville technique is passionate about dance, describing movement to music as liberating. He also had advice for students at the Quinte School.

“When you really want it, you just have to keep working at it,” he said.

The Quinte Ballet School was

founded by the the Guild of the Quinte Ballet School, who invited professional ballet dancer Brian Scott to teach classes.

“I came down in 1970 and taught on weekends to local kids,” Scott recalled. “They were so enthusiastic!”

The school was incorporated in 1972 to offer professional ballet training, with Scott as artistic director. He still holds the post of artistic director emeritus.

Scott said profession training is more strenuous and demanding than recreational ballet training, requiring four to six hours of training every day. He said training must be structured specifically for each student.

“If it’s correctly taught, it can be

very beneficial to the body,” he said.

He said the number of students in the school varies, with as many as 70 or 80 in some years. Students come from far and wide to attend, some from as far away as Russian and Japan.

“Right now, there are 29 in the professional school, and there’s a recreational school that has about 150,” said Christina Taylor, the school’s board chairman. She said the ballet students attend regular school at Sir John A. MacDonald Public School, which is just around the corner, and Centennial Secondary School, located right next door to the ballet school.

Long lineups worth the wait for United Way bargain hunters

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – The first person in line at the United Way of Quinte’s Belleville Community Warehouse Sale on Saturday

showed up at 5 a.m. and waited four hours in the cold to score epic deals on items like paper towels and diapers.

Laurie Genereaux didn’t wait quite that long, but long enough. Yet she had no com-

plaints, as she cruised through the Hanon Systems warehouse, where household items such as paper towels and diapers were being sold for less than half of the normal retail price.

“It was a cold two-hour

wait, but so far, so good,” she said, while walking with Jayne Bird, a United Way volunteer who was helping her out.

Also thrilled on the day were representatives and supporters of the United Way. The annual sale raises funds for the fall campaign, which this year has a goal of raising $2,115,600, to be split between dozens of local non-profit and social agencies.

Lyndsey Harker, the United Way’s director of donor relations and events, said Saturday’s event was expected to bring in about $40,000 for the United Way. Proceeds from sales were going directly to the United Way. Most of the products donated to the sale were provided by Procter & Gamble, the Belleville manufacturer that has long been a major United Way supporter.

The products in the

warehouse, Harker said, are good products that, for some reason, couldn’t be sold in stores (for instance, they could have an error on a bar code).

“The United Way is fortunate to have the relationship we do with Procter & Gamble,” Harker said, noting that last year the company donated $520,000 to help the campaign reach its 2,100,763 goal. “Without them we’re definitely not a $2 million organization.”

Harker also praised Amer Sports, as that company donates sports products to the sale and Hanon, for making its facility available for the sale.

This year’s United Way campaign is almost at the halfway point, as it starts in early September and ends on New Year’s Eve. Harker said she and her colleagues are a little nervous now, as the campaign

is not on pace to reach its goal. However, a lot can change – especially if more workplaces make efforts to hold fundraisers.

Wally Dever Arena goes to the dogs

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – There were oodles of poodles, pounds of hounds and easily more than 101 dalmation spots at the Wally Dever Arena over the weekend. The Belleville and District Kennel Club held its annual conformation dog show and 863 dogs competed in the event.

About three times as many people passed through the arena at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre over the three days because, “every dog comes with an entourage,” said Patricia Hunt, the club president and show chair.

The event has taken place in Belleville for 35 years – normally it’s at the Yardmen Arena, but renovations there pushed this year’s event to the arena next door.

Wherever the location, it’s a fascinating event because the dogs there are exceptionally well groomed and well mannered. Their handlers, who are also dressed to the nines, parade the dogs through rings inside the arena and show the dogs to judges, who take close looks at their teeth and other areas of the body.

Hunt said the event attracts dog handlers from across Ontario, as well as parts of Quebec and New York State.

Many make a point of attending the Belleville show, she said, because it’s towards the end of the year, so it represents one of the final chances to earn points, towards a series championship.

She explained that many of the handlers breed dogs professionally; so if they can say their dogs have won a best in show award, or similar honours, it looks good on their resume. It also gives their customers some knowledge that they’re purchasing a puppy from a great genetic line.

“If you’re thinking of buying a dog, this is the place to come,” said Hunt, explaining that it offers a chance to learn about different breeds of dogs and the personalities they contain.

She said the handlers take the sport seriously, but at the same time they also come out for the social aspect of the show, as they enjoy talking to fellow dog lovers.

Women’s volleyball win highlights Loyalist Lancers sports weekend

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – The Loyalist College Lancers women’s volleyball team started its Ontario Colleges Athletic Association regular season with a win over Centennial at home on Friday night.

The Lancers swept the Colts in three straight sets.

The Lancer’s men’s volleyball team went the distance in its opening game on Friday versus Centennial but lost three sets to two (20-25, 25-16, 23-25, 25-17, 15-0).

Loyalist’s Adam Strickland had an impressive game with 17 kills and Josh Roberts contributed with 16.

Both teams play again on Saturday, Oct. 29 when George Brown College visits. The women play at 1 p.m. and the men follow at 3 p.m.

Lancers basketball teams drop season openers Tyronne King had a great night for the Loyalist Lancers men’s basketball team, but it wasn’t enough to beat Centennial in its OCAA league opener last Friday night.

King scored 27 points in Loyalist’s 91-81 loss to the visiting Colts.

Tigh Champan and Noah Korovesi each contributed with nine points and both Carlo Pantaleon and Christopher Asomani had eight points each for the Lancers.

The Lancers trailed early, as Centennial led 21-17 at the end of the first quarter and 48-39 at the break.

The Loyalist women’s basketball team also started its OCAA regular season with a loss to Centennial.

Despite a 12-point performance by returning player Porscha Hewitt, the Lancers lost 64-39.

The Lancers actually led 25-21 at the half, but Centennial dominated in the second half, outscoring the home team 19-10 in the third quarter and 24-4 in the fourth.

The Lancers also played St. Lawrence College Kingston on the road on Tuesday (the game was played after press time.)

Both basketball teams are on the road this weekend.

They travel to Georgian College to take on the Grizzlies on Friday. The men’s team has an additional game on Saturday at Canadore College against the Panthers.

Wellington – There was a standing ovation, tears of sorrow, and dozens of uplifting moments to relish Quinte as a growing region for business.

The 2016 Quinte Business Achievement Awards had a bit of everything and it left the hundreds who had packed Highline Hall at the Essroc Centre last Friday night with plenty of reasons to believe the region will always be economically strong.

The Business Person of the Year Award went to philanthropist Ed Lehtinen, the long-time owner of Belleville-based business Impacto Protective Products.

After nearly 50 years living in Belleville, Lehtinen and his wife Fran have contributed to dozens of charities and community projects – a fact not lost on the audience, which gave Lehtinen a standing ovation, as he walked slowly to the podium, with help from a cane, which he said he’s using as a result of a recent hip replacement.

In a touching address, Lehtinen acknowledged that it’s not easy to run a business. “It’s been a rough ride for 30 year, but that’s how it is,” he said, with heads in the audience nodding in agreement. “Thank you for this award,” he continued. “We really appreciate it.”

Minutes later, a respectful hush fell over the room as Sam Osborne accepted the Business Excellence Award for his business Fireplace Specialities.

Sam’s father and business mentor, Al Osborne, had died one night earlier at age 68.

An emotional Sam, spoke about how his father always took pride in creating products and visions for customers’ homes.

“It’s about creating something they can be proud of and something we can (From left) Megan, Ben and Sam Osborne accepted the Business Excellence Award for Fireplace Specialties be proud of,” he said. on behalf of their father Al Osborne at the 2016 Quinte Business Achievement Awards on Friday. Al died one Earlier in the night, another of Al’s night earlier.

Stephen Petrick/Metroland sons, Ben Osborne, was handed the

Regulated Professional Business of the Year award for his new business, The Belleville Integrated Health Centre.

His business partner, Matt Wong, accepted the award with him and asked the audience to raise a glass for Al, a gesture that led Ben to break down in tears.

In total 14 awards were presented during the evening. The other award winners are as follows: Agribusiness of the Year: Ramirez Vineyard Services Hospitality/Tourism Business of the Year: Cottage Advisors of Canada Manufacturing/Industrial Business of the Year: Research Casting International Young Entrepreneur of the Year: Jenna Empey New Business of the Year: Furball’s Choice Not For Profit of the Year: Canadian Mental Health Association, Hastings Prince Edward Retail Business of the Year: Sunflower Health Shop & Services Trade & Construction Business of the Year: Wentworth Landscapes Specialized Service Business of the Year: WhistleStop Productions Sustainability Award: Astoria Organic Matters Canada LP Trailblazer of the Year: TruckRight The Quinte Business Achievement Awards have now taken place for 20 years. Each year members of the business community are encouraged to nominate candidates.

“The Business Achievement Awards committee worked hard over the past several months to encourage all businesses that were nominated to fill out their questionnaires,” said Jacqui Burley, committee chair.

“We had 126 companies complete the nomination process, showcasing the great diversity and strength Quinte businesses have; we are proud of all the nominees.”

She continuously champions the

needs of Aboriginal students, students with special needs, and first generation students,� Hagerman added. “During her tenure at the College of the North Atlantic, she was responsible for significant revenue generating activities through both domestic and international student enrolment, contract training, distance and online learning. The Board of Governors looks forward to Dr. Vaughan’s leadership as the college moves into its 50th year of serving our region.�

Prior to her position at the College of the North Atlantic, Dr. Vaughan was the Director for Distance Education and Learning Technologies at Memorial University, serving in that role from 2001-2011.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Education from Memorial University; certificates in Public Administration and Business from Memorial University; a Master of Arts in Higher Education from the University of British Columbia, and a Masters certificate in Project Management from York University/ Memorial University.

Continuing on her lifelong learning journey, in 2015 Vaughan received her doctorate in higher education leadership from the University of Calgary.

In her spare time she enjoys gardening and is an active community volunteer. “I am delighted to join the Loyalist

College team in the beautiful Quinte region,� said Vaughan, in a statement. “Loyalist is a highly regarded institution with wonderful faculty, staff and students as well as tremendous Board leadership and community support. “My husband John Oliver and I look forward to living in the Quinte region, along with our daughter Kathleen.�

Vaughan will begin her position at Loyalist on November 7, replacing former President Maureen Piercy, who retired on August 31.

Dianne Spencer was appointed Interim President until the next President takes office. “The Board of Governors sincerely appreciates and recognizes the strong leadership that Interim President Dianne Spencer has provided during Dr. Ann Marie Vaughan has been hired as the new President and CEO of this period of transition,� said Loyalist College.

Water warnings from Maude Barlow underlined by local and national events

By Terry McNamee

Belleville—Water rights activist and Council of Canadians chairperson Maude Barlow told people gathered at Eastminster United Church in Belleville recently, that the decreasing amount of fresh water is reaching a crisis level — not just in arid or Third World countries, but right here in Canada.

“Everything that’s happening to water around the world is happening here,” Barlow said. “The demand for water in the world is going straight up, and the supply is going straight down.”

The truth of that message was reinforced the very next morning, when Stirling-Rawdon Township’s Environmental Committee passed a bylaw mandating that all residents of the township reduce their water usage by 50 per cent because the Township’s wells are perilously close to running dry for the first time ever.

Barlow, who was speaking at the invitation of the Quinte Branch of the United Nations Association in Canada, said the water crisis has resulted from many factors: global warming, water being poisoned by the overuse of pesticides and herbicides and the dumping of dangerous chemicals on land, a lack of regulation for how freshwater resources are managed and the selling of fresh water for pennies a litre to large corporations.

She said Canada’s ground water has not been mapped, and the longterm effects of allowing corporations to remove large quantities of ground water is unknown. In some areas, it is becoming a serious issue: Nestlé, which sells bottled water, recently outbid a small municipality near Guelph ON for a well the town will need in future for its drinking water.

While exporting Canada’s water is becoming a hot topic, so is the use of water for extracting other resources, such as oil and natural gas.

“For every unit of oil they (companies) extract, they use two to five units of water, and then (the water) is poisoned by the chemicals they use,” she said.

She said oil

pipelines are not dangerous because of the oil itself, but because of all the chemicals needed to thin it enough to flow through the pipes — and those pipes go under rivers and lakes and over aquifers. If there is a spill, those chemicals pollute sources of drinking water.

The issue of pipelines going under water sources has become a big issue in North Dakota this fall, with First Nations protesting the planned Dakota Access Pipeline. It’s also a major issue in Winnipeg, where Geoff Patton, a consultant hired by the city, identified major risks associated with the Energy East pipeline that is planned to cross over the Shoal Lake aqueduct, which is the sole source of drinking water for Winnipeg.

Most shocking is the effect of chemical poisoning of large water sources.

“Lake Winnipeg has been named the most endangered lake in the world,” Barlow said, adding that some scientists consider it to be dead.

As with many other dead and dying lakes, blue-green algae is the culprit. This microscopic organism gathers in huge blooms when there phosphorus and other nutrients are carried into lakes by runoff from farms and stormwater outlets, and these blooms produce toxins that harm humans and animals.

Barlow said extraction in the Alberta oil sands creates large ponds of toxic waste water that are now

leaching into the ground. She said that fracking — a method where water is pumped into pipes deep in the bedrock to force natural gas out — uses huge amounts of water, pollutes existing ground water and has been causing earthquakes in areas not prone to them.

Aside from pollution rendering fresh water unusable, another factor is actual water loss. Some is due to global warming. Some is due to water being removed

for residential, commercial and industrial use.

“Lakes in Canada are warming faster than anywhere else, especially the Great Lakes,” Barlow said. And, she said, if the ground water beneath the Great Lakes continues to be pumped out at current rates, the lakes “could be bone dry in 80 years.”

She said government must take actin to protect Canada’s supply of fresh water before it is too late.

“It’s time to abandon our erroneous belief that we have lots of water,” Barlow said. “We need a strong plan of action.

“You can’t put water second.”

TRAVEL

Ghost town of St. Deroin is a Halloween destination

Now that Halloween is approaching once again, I thought that this would be a good time to do a travel piece about a ghost town that I’ve visited.

St. Deroin, Nebraska, was formally charted in 1854 and became one of a chain of small trading settlements and supply posts located along the Missouri River. In its heyday, this town reached a population of about 300, and included 2 doctors and about 20 businesses.

However, it primarily depended upon steamboat commerce for its growth and well-being, so when the ever-shifting river channel altered its course and abandoned this little settlement, the town seemed doomed. Flooding and a cholera epidemic hadn’t helped the town’s survival either, and it was virtually abandoned by the 1920s. All that remains now are a cemetery, a restored schoolhouse and general store, and several depressions in the landscape where buildings once stood.

I checked out this Nebraskan destination for myself, for it’s now a part of Indian Cave State Historical Park, and I discovered that there’s even a Canadian connection to this ghost town. The founder of St. Deroin was Joseph Deroin, and his father was a French Canadian fur trader who married an Otoe woman. This fur trader’s name was Amable De Rouins, and the last name became anglicized to Deroin.

His son, Joseph, eventually claimed land made available by the Treaty of Prairie du Chien, which set aside specific land for half-breeds, and he laid out the village that bears his name. It’s believed that the “Saint” was added later, to perhaps make it seem to be a ‘special place’, hopefully attracting more settlers there.

The original town was built next to the bank of the river, below the bluffs, but much of it was eventually washed away by flooding. The school was dismantled and rebuilt high up on a hill, and it’s still there to this day. I was able to inspect its restored interior and also visit the nearby St. Deroin General Store, featuring an 1879 broom-making machine, where I spotted an intriguing sign that advised customers who were smokers and chewers to “Please Spit on each other and NOT on the STOVE or FLOOR”.

While in Indian Cave State Park, I was also able to visit a rebuilt log cabin, located near the original townsite, and witness candle-dipping and the making of lye soap.

I even bought a cake of “Granny’s Lye Soap” to bring home, for it’s said to be a kind of cure-all. It’s

supposedly great for removing grass stains from clothes, fighting dandruff, easing poison ivy, and relieving sunburn. It’s also said to be useful for relieving “itching from chiggers, mosquitoes, ticks, or any other bugs”, as fish bait, and “for dirty-mouthed kids”. What a product!

While in Indian Cave State Park, I also wanted to see the actual Indian Cave itself, for it dates back several thousand years, and its walls are etched with ancient petroglyphs.

As I ascended the steep, long staircase, I eventually arrived at the cave walls and etchings, but I found the specific name of this state park to be a bit of a misnomer, for I wasn’t able to enter an actual cave. However, I was able to see some of the ancient depictions of wildlife on the exterior walls of the sandstone cavity, and I discovered that other writings and sketches have been defaced or obscured over the years.

I learned that Indian Cave State Park offers year-round camping, including a horse camp with hitching posts, corrals, and 20 km. of designated equestrian trails. Hikers will find about 35 km. of footpaths here, and I just had to try at least one of these (Trail 7). Many of these hiking trails lead to the bluffs and, therefore, spectacular views of the Missouri River.

Joseph Deroin is said to be buried in this park, in the ghost town’s cemetery, and astride his horse! He was a rather controversial character, and he was killed while stubbornly trying to collect $6.00 from a settler for an assumed debt involving a pig.

The settler, James Biddow, denied any wrongdoing and warned Joseph to stay off his land. When Joseph failed to heed this warning, he was shot and killed and buried. Another interesting anecdote involving a ‘resident’ of this ghost town’s cemetery tells of A.J. Ritter, who lost his arm during a dynamite blasting.

When Ritter died, at a later date, he certain nights, Ritter still rises from of the Missouri River, just south of was buried in this cemetery, but his his grave to search for his lost arm!

New agency aids mental health

By Jack Evans

More awareness of mental health and addictions leads to more referrals for the newly-formed Addictions and Mental Health Agency, says CEO Garry Laws.

Near the end of its first full year as a joint agency to deal with both problems, Laws reports, “All programs are running well however, with a solid line of waiting lists.” Laws has around 30 years of experience as a chef executive officer, most of them in the mental health field. And yes, he affirms, addictions and mental health are closely related areas and fit together well.

An agency funded by the SELHIN, their office is located in the complex at the corner of Applewood and Dundas Street West, but for immediate assistance, anyone needing help can telephone 310 OPEN, a line that goes directly to Quinte Health Care, which also plays a key role with the new agency. “Even with waiting lists, if someone calls with an addictions problem, we try to give them immediate counselling,” he said. As CEO of the former Peer Support Mental Health program, “I was involved in the three years of studies and consultations that led up to forming this organization,” he said.

He also reminded that waiting lists

for such services are common across Ontario with no unusual numbers in the Quinte area except the calls for services are increasing.

With funding from the LHIN the agency has recently hired four new psychotherapists. There are other services that require funding, “we could use more,” he added. That brings the staff of the new Hastings and Prince Edward Addictions and Mental Health Agency up to “around 80,” he noted. It is one of three similar organizations in the southeast LHIN that will all be under one regional back office administration. A special challenge for the Quinte area is the huge rural and remote population, he said. There are also factors that tend to increase the local caseload, such as poor economy and job opportunities, substance abuse or despair. Suicide is a growing problem among young people and also those over 50, he reported. Again, such cases when they are referred or self-referred, are given priority status and immediate counselling.

Their programs are working, he is confident. “We remove 20 cases off our list every month, but we get another 20,” he said. Mental health services have been available for decades, but the combining of Addictions and Mental Health is a recent development, “and it is a

perfect fit,” he said, “for the clients, for staff and for the community.”

The grass roots development of the new agency has resulted in a new first-time contract in Ontario between a service provider like his agency and the local hospital. That contract is expected to be signed in the near future and take effect on April 1 of next year. Under it, the LHIN pays AMHS-HPE for the hospital services it provides, some 22 beds in the Belleville hospital complex, for instance. They are always full.

But the agency has full control over how the funds are spent This results from, a long-standing partnership between the mental health services and the hospital for decades. Clients in all cases benefit from complete confidentiality.

“I love my job and its challenges and I enjoy serving the community,” he concluded.

For the hospital, Carol SmithRomeril, said almost a complete floor of the Sills wing (some 22 beds) is dedicated to mental health and addictions patients. The area requires extra security plus a specialized staff.

It is an arrangement that works well and she expects it will continue to be so. She applauded the formation of the new agency, saying it was inspired by needs of people who needed help.

“We listened to what they needed,” she added.””The consultations lasted several years.” She agreed that the loss of control over LHIN funding for

The Good Earth

It was a day Ray Bradbury would appreciate

welcome return of verdant swards after a far too long drought-induced dormancy. It was a day in which Gaia adorned herself in her finest raiment and invited us for a stroll. It was a day.

This is the time that real gardeners step up. In spite of the challenging summer marked by the callus claims of compost piles, gardeners are always looking ahead with confidence and hope.

Fall is the proper time for preparing for next year’s gardens and green swards. Dividing most perennials is a fall task as is planting bulbs. This is a perfect time for checking out garden centres, perhaps a bit too late to scour Well, Gentle Reader, we’re well the asphalt markets, for clearance into it. sales. This fall I focused on astilbes, There is no doubt that autumn ferns and composite flowers- mostly has arrived and the last of the summer wine has been enjoyed. This past Tuesday (at time of writing) was as perfect a fall day as one could for. In fact, I’m sure if that one particular day was put on a shelf and kept until the end of November, we would happily accept the chill in the rain, the bite in the wind as it switches to the north, and the starkness of our landscapes as winter’s onset strips them to the bones.

It was a day only Ray Bradbury could perfectly express. He would tell you how the air tasted, how the blaze of the sugar maples outshone the sun: he would describe the soft caress of the last wisps of southern air, the

Dan Clost

big, bright, yellow rudbeckias. If I hadn’t scooped up a host of sedum during the dog days of the drought I would likely have brought home a few of them as well.

Some plants, such as ornamental grasses should be enjoyed as long as possible. You might want to consider tying them up to give their now brittle stems a bit of resistance against the wind. Once they are no longer pleasing to the eye, you can prune them back- always leaving a high stubble of 6” or more to catch crownprotecting snow With bulbs, I took a look at some of the smaller, daintier offerings like snow drops and Dutch iris, slipping them into little spaces and nooks that wouldn’t accept their larger cousins such as King Alfred type daffs. I’m

not quite ready to the naturalizing bit with the little chappies pock marking the lawns. Perhaps I’m a bit of a grass snob, thinking that meadows should be out in the wild with deer noshing on them However, I do know some folks- not mentioning Ben O’Brien’s name- who embrace this concept with abandon and create fantastically beautiful meadows. That is one of the wonder facets of gardening; there is room for as many different styles as there are gardeners.

I’d like to insert a caveat in regards to bulbs (which includes corms, tubers, bare root lilies, etc.) When purchasing pay close attention to the quality of the bulbs, especially the prepackaged cones. I was very disappointed with the condition of many of the tulips especially which were

sold in such a “collection.” Far too many were soft and equally unacceptable number had mold on them. I was also startled after opening a bag clearly marked as having 12 bulbs and only seeing 6. What was most surprising was these bulbs were purchased at a very good garden centre and the supplying has an excellent reputation. Sadly, I am offering this advice to you because I neglected to do so and wish to save you the lesson.

As I slowly, with creaking and protesting knees, stoop up after a morning of digging in those perennials and bulbs, I hopefully expressed the thought that most gardeners will have, “Won’t these look lovely in the spring?? And I said it with confidence.

It was a day.

Bay of Quinte region named a StartUp community

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – The Bay of Quinte region is now known as a Start Up community; a prestigious designation that will allow local business leaders to promote the area as a business-friendly place and share resources with some of Canada’s most economically successful cities.

Business leaders gathered at Belleville’s CHIRP (Canadian Hybrid Incubator Resource Platform) building on Tuesday, Oct. 11 to celebrate the designation, which was granted by StartUp Canada, a network launched in 2012 to foster entrepreneurship across the country.

Bay of Quinte joins a list of 32 other Canadian cities that have been designated as “StartUp” communities

by StartUp Canada.

They include fellow Ontario cities of Kingston, Peterborough, Toronto and Waterloo, among others.

Ryan Williams, the chair of the new group QuinteVation, said the designation will help draw entrepreneurs to the area to “start fantastic new companies.

“StartUp Bay of Quinte will help us with programs and resources that connect entrepreneurs in the Bay of Quinte to others across Canada and will put this region on the map for entrepreneurs looking to make their

mark here,” he said.

The designation will provide local business people with more opportunities to collaborate with businesses in other areas or give them access to new funding opportunities, Williams added.

It also represents another positive step in efforts to build the “Bay of Quinte” brand, a point emphasized

by Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis, who attended the celebration and, like Williams, wore a bright red “StartUp Bay of Quinte” t-shirt.

Williams is the past president of Bay of Quinte Tourism, which represented a new effort by the municipalities that make up the Bay of Quinte area to join forces to promote the region for both business and tourism purposes.

The new QuinteVation group has a similar ambition – to foster economic growth in the region – and to ensure the very words “Bay of Quinte” are recognized across Canada and draw the image of a successful community.

“This area has so much to offer,” Ellis said. “It’s about community helping community.”

At Tuesday’s celebration, Williams also introduced the crowd to Mary Doyle, the new executive director of QuinteVation.

She said that the organization, which only formally launched in June, is starting to makes strides and

continues to hold business networking “We absolutely believe that building opportunities across Bay of Quinte a culture of entrepreneurship takes communities – she was preparing for consistent effort and wide participation one in Napanee later that day. over time,” she said. “Ultimately we

want to create a dynamic community where our children will have good paying jobs, a high quality of life and abundant opportunities.”

Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis (left) and QuinteVation chair Ryan Williams wore bright red t-shirts to a celebration on Oct. 11, where Bay of Quinte was named a StartUp community.

Medical officer of health wonders if it’s Flumist or flu miss?

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – A nasal spray flu vaccine product once recommended for children is now being downplayed in the medical community and Hastings-Prince Edward’s Medical Officer of Health says he’s not recommending it to families.

Dr. Richard Schabas spoke about the product called “Flumist” at the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health board meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 5.

He clarified the product is called “Flumist” and not “flu-miss,” as some health professionals joke.

That joke underscores new

flyers. coupons. deals. cash back.

beliefs that the product is not as effective as regular injection-based flu vaccines.

The product has been used in the United States for more than a decade and interest in the product has grown because it’s intended to protect young children from the flu, without forcing them to take a painful needle.

The product is promoted for children ages two to 17.

Last year, the Public Health Agency of Canada recommended Flumist as the preferred flu vaccine product for children, Schabas said.

But now a similar federal

agency in the United States, the U.S. Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, is saying the spray isn’t effective and the Canadian body has downgraded its endorsement of the product saying it’s not the “preferred” vaccine, but instead an equal to the injection-based vaccine.

“Most of the information coming out has been negative results, which has tempered our enthusiasm for the vaccine,” said Schabas of Flumist.

About 700 doses of the product was given to area children last year with help from the Hastings Prince Edward Health Unit, he said.

This year, Schabas said, health unit clinics won’t distribute Flumist. However, the product is still available to family doctors and nurse practitioners who can distribute it, if they choose, to patients.

However, Schabas said he

recently wrote a letter to distribute to local health care providers, informing them about the issue and letting them know his personal stance that children are better off receiving an injection-based flu vaccine.

This year’s injection based flu vaccine is expected to be released soon to local family doctors, nurse practitioners and pharmacists. The health unit is expected to announce several flu shot clinics across the region in the coming weeks, too.

Schabas never said that Flumist is harmful; he just said it’s not as effective as the regular vaccine “It’s certainly more convenient, but if it doesn’t work it defeats the purpose,” he told the board, adding that most healthy children are not at serious risk of complications from influenza.

“If you’re going to do it, my advice is to use a vaccine that’s reliably effective.”

Regional conference Landowners continue to do will feature local food tour their bit to help improve quality of Bay of Quinte

Local food producers, processors and champions from across Eastern Ontario will be in the Quinte region this fall to attend the Eastern Ontario Local Food Conference. The conference will kick off with a tour of local food hotspots, including farms, factories, a winery and more.

The Tuesday, Nov. 22 tour will visit Sprague Foods, Barn Owl Malt/Wild Card Brewing Co., Enright Cattle Company, Potter’s Settlement Winery and Donnandale Farms.

Following the tour, conference attendees are invited to Town Place Suites for the Local Food Extravaganza tasting event. This evening event will showcase local foods and beverages from culinary regions across Eastern Ontario.

The conference full agenda has been released and registration is open for the sixth annual conference hosted by the cities of Belleville and Quinte West, in partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. This year’s

conference theme, “Mission: Resilience”, explores the impact of climate change on the local food system, and the opportunities and challenges it creates.

On Nov. 23 the conference program kicks off at the Maranatha Church with keynote speaker Sarah Elton, a Torontobased journalist and best-selling author. Her keynote will address the increased recognition and importance of building resilience into our local food systems. Ideas and innovation around the theme of ‘Resilience’ will continue throughout the morning with words of wisdom and inspiration from ten local food trailblazers.

Following a delicious local food lunch, the afternoon will include nine sessions in three streams: Sustainability, Infrastructure and Business Support. Sustainability sessions will offer scientific information about growing conditions in the region and the challenges and opportunities those conditions present; OMAFRA’s senior

economist explains how local food systems are being affected, and producers and food businesses share how they have prepared to meet future challenges.

Infrastructure sessions will look at food hubs, hear from farmers who have used infrastructure innovations to adapt to climate change, and municipalities will learn how agriculture presents an economic development opportunity.

The business support sessions will share how producers and food businesses plan and structure for resilience, how a region has shone a spotlight on local food producers in the retail environment, and costing and pricing your product for profit.

The conference draws more than 200 participants each year from a broad range of sectors and counties in Eastern Ontario and beyond.

Online registration, exhibitor information, and a full copy of the program agenda are available at eastontlocalfood.ca.

The amount of nutrients (phosphorus) entering the Bay of Quinte, from both urban and rural sources, has always been a problem as it promotes excess algae growth and impairs water quality.

Private landowners play a vital role in restoring water quality in the Bay, through the preservation and restoration of shorelines and wetlands.

In 2016, the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan (BQRAP) provided funding to eleven landowners to implement environmental restoration projects. The projects included: 3 livestock fencings, 1 - alternate watering system, 3 - shoreline naturalizations and 6 - waterway plantings, for a total $38,000.00.

“The projects were designed to reduce the amount of nutrients (phosphorus) entering the Bay of Quinte,” says Veronika Wright, BQRAP technician at Lower Trent Conservation.

“Both livestock fencing and alternate watering systems benefit water quality by reducing stream bank erosion, thereby lowering sediment inputs and stopping bacterial and phosphorus contamination. Waterway planting and shoreline naturalization projects that add vegetation along a shoreline or wetland will provide habitat for fish and wildlife; as well as, act as filters for sediment and nutrient runoff (phosphorus) from

the adjacent land. The next round of funding for restoration projects will be the spring of 2017,” said Veronika Wright in a statement from BQRAP. The Healthy Soils Check-up Program provided 25 area farms with free soil testing to identify baseline nutrient levels, which will help farmers strategically use fertilizer and reduce phosphorus runoff.

“As well, each farmer received field maps identifying key erosion sites helping them to adopt Best Management Practices (BMPs) aimed at keeping soil on the fields and out of local waterways. Fourteen area farms took advantage of the BQRAP grant for cover crops,” says Veronika.

As the BQRAP gets closer to its goal of removing the Bay from the Areas of Concern list, maintaining reduced phosphorus levels will be critical for the long-term health of the Bay.

New buyer says co-op better ‘fit’ for Stirling Creamery

By Terry McNamee

Stirling—Stirling Creamery, a fixture in the village since 1925, has been sold to Gay-Lea Foods, an Ontario dairy co-operative based in Mississauga.

The sale will take effect on Nov. 1.

The sale, which was announced Tuesday, Oct. 18, returns the creamery to Canadian ownership after 10 years as part of the Michigan-based Butterball Farms. It had been sold by the founding West family to Butterball in 2006. The creamery employs about 25 people in Stirling and is known for its range of natural and flavoured butters, flavoured medallions and spreads.

Speaking from the company’s head office in Mississauga, Gay Lea president and CAO Michael Barrett said Gay Lea is a core butter business, and the acquisition of Stirling Creamery adds something new with its specialty products.

“Stirling has that innovation,” Barrett said. “We’re not moving jobs out.

We’re not closing the plant down.”

Gay Lea, which is one of the largest butter producers in Canada, also acquired Prince Edward County’s Black River Cheese this past May

and owns Ivanhoe Cheese in Madoc.

“What we have created is our dairy hub in that part of the country,” Barrett said. “We are a co-operative owned by farmers, so it’s a very nice fit.”

He said there is a strong move amongst consumers towards natural products, and butter is becoming increasingly popular.

“Today, there’s a renaissance of home baking and the return back to the natural goodness,” he said, adding that the market for butter is expected to continue this growth.

“Stirling Creamery, like our cooperative, has a strong and rich history in the province of Ontario,” Gay Lea Foods chair Steve Dolson stated in a press release. “With this acquisition, we continue the tradition of

supporting family farms in Ontario while further strengthening Gay Lea Foods’ presence in the Canadian dairy industry.”

Stirling Creamery was founded by the West family, who actually started in the cheese business. Cheesemaker Annie Elevier won the gold medal for her cheese at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 and later taught her husband John West and their three sons the cheesemaking business.

Their son, William, had cheesemaking operations in in Springbrook, Bonarlaw, and Stockdale. After marrying Elizabeth Tanner of Rawdon Township, he and his wife moved to Stirling, where William established the Stirling Creamery and began making butter. The original building was replaced with the current one in 1933.

William’s three sons worked at the creamery, and, in the 1980s, grandsons Bob and Dick West took over.

Dick died in 2002, leaving Bob as the sole owner until he sold the business to Butterball four years later. Over its 90-year history, Stirling Creamery has continued its tradition of creating

all natural, barrel-churned butter one batch at a time.

“We look forward to working with Gay Lea Foods as Stirling Creamery becomes part of this successful and growing Canadian co-operative,” stated Stirling Creamery CEO Mark Peters of Butterball Farms.
