Belleville – Eugene Melnyk believes the Belleville Senators will be here "for life." The owner of the new American Hockey League franchise, who also owns the parent Ottawa Senators club, attended the team's home opener at the renovated Yardmen Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 1. In a celebratory pre-game press conference, which included Mayor Taso Christopher and AHL President David Andrews, Melnyk spoke candidly with reporters about how thrilled he is to be linked to the Belleville community. "We're going to have hockey here way beyond when I'm around," he said, during the press conference. He later told a scrum of reporters: "It's going to be here for life." Melnyk said the Belleville Senators have sold about 2,300 season tickets — a positive sign for the franchise which plays in a 4,400-seat venue. If walk-up crowds of more than 1,000 come each night, he believes the team will be in good shape. He rallied the community to support the team, saying that he'll do everything he can to provide a winning team and a great environment for fans. "Now it's up to you, the fans," he said. It was Melnyk's first public appearance in Belleville since he attended a press conference in September 2016 when he announced that he had

bought the Ottawa Senators' previous farm team, located in Binghamton, N.Y. to relocate to Belleville for the 2016-17 season. Melnyk said the effort to bring the team to Belleville was actually first led by Randy Lee, the Senators' assistant general manager who oversees the top farm club.
He knew it would be beneficial to have Senators minor-league players close to Ottawa and on the north side of the border. Lee had already been working closely with City of Belleville officials when Melnyk was approached with the idea of buying the team. Melnyk said when he began talks

with Belleville officials, he quickly became impressed by what Belleville had to offer. He wanted to know if there would be any surprises — for instance, the possibility of a major employer leaving town or any potential drawbacks to selling tickets like the program plaguing the Ottawa Senators that prevents federal government employees from getting free tickets. He was convinced there wouldn't be surprises and took a liking to Mayor Taso Christopher, who "had this look (of excitement)," Melnyk said. The owner was impressed with the upgrades to the Yardmen Arena, to which city taxpayers are contributing $20.5 million. He said the Belleville Senators' dressing room is a better than many National Hockey League dressing rooms. Christopher was presented a Belleville Senators jersey with the numbers 17 and 18 on the sleeves at the end of the press conference. Before accepting the gift, he thanked city officials and fans for making the team a reality. He also thanked Senators officials, saying "we've gone from a partnership and relationship to a family." Looking out to Senators officials and the many dignitaries from neighbouring communities, he raised his arms wide and said: "Welcome to Belleville. We've been waiting for you." The Senators would later win the opening game, 4-3, over Syracuse.

How we use the Internet is evolving, but can your provider keep up? We all love the Internet. Thanks to the availability of millions of new services and apps, 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. Canadians spend an average of 36.7 hours online each month, more than any other country, 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 – in fact, highspeed 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.1 Whether you live in a small town, hamlet or village, or in downtown Toronto, Xplornet believes that all Canadians deserve great high-speed Internet. We’ve been busy improving our network to keep pace with demand, investing in our LTE network to ensure our customers can take full advantage of the online world.1
that dreaded icon spins endlessly in the middle of your screen. It can feel like you’re helpless to do 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. Our recent network improvements help solve the problem of peak hours, allowing both new and existing Xplornet customers to enjoy great high-speed Internet, even during the busiest times of the day.
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 you’re kicking back and relaxing, helping the kids with a school project, or 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
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

connect, and where we can work. Canadians should be beyond this problem, shouldn’t we? Fortunately, there are new options to make the most of our online experience, even in rural areas. Xplornet’s LTE network is expanding to reach more Canadians every day, and rural residents are benefiting from the new technology.

Jennifer May-Anderson the new E.D. for Hospice Quinte
Moira Secondary School.
Stephen Petrick/Metroland
Moira Secondary School – out with the old, in with the new Belleville – It’s well known that Quinte Secondary School is closing its doors at the end of this school year. But, while the Moira Secondary School site will remain open, it’s about to undergo a name change to reflect that it’s a new school, consolidating the populations of both schools. As a result, the Hastings Prince Edward District School Board is inviting the public to submit suggestions for the new name. “Members of the public are invited to submit name suggestions for the school that will bring together students from Moira Secondary School and Quinte Secondary School in September 2018,” the board said in a statement. “Both Moira and Quinte will close next June and students from the two schools will come together at the existing Moira site in September. Some Quinte students will transfer to Centennial Secondary School.” To make a suggestion visit www.hpedsb.on.ca and click on the “Help name the consolidated secondary school” link. It will direct viewers to a screen where they can make two suggestions. People are asked to consider: a) the names of famous Canadians of either local or na-
tional recognition; b) appropriate identifications that reflect a positive image of the community and Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board; c) significant names; or d) names in conformity with official designations. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, November 15, 2017. All entries will be reviewed by Belleville Schools Integration Committee which will shortlist submissions then resubmit those suggestions for additional public input. While the selection process will not be based on a vote, the committee would like to be able to report which options drew broadest support. “We value the role our communities play in the education of students and look forward to everyone’s input on naming this school,” said Mandy Savery-Whiteway, Director of Education. “It is one of the many steps toward creating exciting new opportunities for our students,” The positive integration of students and employees into the new school environment is guided in part by the board’s integration com-
NOTICE
mittee, which includes students, employees, parents/ guardians and community members. The committee provides input on the school name, colours, mascot and school transition activities, including honouring and incorporating artifacts and other memorabilia from each of the schools. Submissions should avoid the duplication of names of schools within Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board and should not use the use of names of present Board members and employees. The name will be presented to the Board of Trustees for consideration in January 2018.
Belleville – A familiar spokesperson in the community is the new face of Hospice Quinte and its quest to deliver residential palliative care. Jennifer May-Anderson has been hired as the new executive director of the non-profit organization. Hospice Quinte provides palliative care to terminally ill individuals and support to their caregivers in the Belleville, Quinte West, and South Hastings region. This service is offered in the person’s own home, long term care homes, retirement homes, and local hospitals. It is now in the process of building a six-bed, purpose-placed hospice facility. May-Anderson will not only oversee a staff of five, located at Hospice Quinte’s 225 Dundas St. E. building, but the organizations volunteer corps of more than 150. May-Anderson previously worked for Hastings Prince Edward Public Health and, before that, was the long-serving communications coordinator for Quinte Conservation. Hospice Quinte Board President Darcey French said, “after an extensive selection process we are excited to welcome Jennifer MayAnderson to the Hospice Quinte team and look forward to working with her. “Jennifer shares our enthusiasm for the purpose and future of Hospice Quinte and our respect for the trust our donors have in the organization.” Jennifer May-Anderson has been a committed member of the Quinte area since settling here to attend Loyalist College in 1994. She has worked in the area for the last 20 years and brings a wealth of experience in the local non-profit sector as well as in the areas of board governance and public relations. As executive director, she will provide Hospice Quinte with professional leadership in the areas of fundraising, agency relations, public relations, communications, and financial management. “I am deeply honoured and excited about this new opportunity

to serve my community in the important area of palliative care,” said May-Anderson. “I am eager to work with our dedicated volunteers, donors, and staff as we provide palliative care and bereavement supports in our communities.” There are no fees for Hospice Quinte service to patients and their families. Hospice Quinte is a registered, non-profit, charitable organization. The sustainability of the organization is realized by the financial support received from memorial donations, the generous business community, individual contributions, and fundraising activities. Hospice Quinte is also in the midst of plans to build and open a six-bed residential hospice in Quinte West. A business proposal was just recently submitted to the Southeast Local Health Integration Network for the facility, May-Anderson said. The next step is for the plan to be approved by the Ministry of Health. She looks forward to bringing that project into fruition.

BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Rick Watt’s energy is what powers Operation Red Nose Quinte every year. While the service, which helps holiday revellers get themselves and their cars home safely, relies on hundreds of volunteers each season Watt undoubtedly sets the standard for them. The 13-year chair works tirelessly each night at the 160 Catharine St. headquarters, working to make sure teams of drivers are ready to get out on the street. “The challenge is telling him he can leave at the end of the night,” said Dave Allen, CEO of the YMCA, at a ceremony on Sunday, Nov. 5 at the Belleville YMCA. While the event was to officially launch this year’s Red Nose season and appoint two new honourary chairs, the event was also about giving Watt the recognition he is owed, but has never asked for. Watt was inducted into the Red Nose Hall of Fame on Sunday, and presented certificates of appreciation for his work by dignitaries including Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher, MP Neil Ellis and MPP Todd Smith. Marie-Chantal Fortin, Red Nose’s national development co-ordinator, came down from Quebec to be at the ceremony and present Watt with a special Hall-of-Fame red vest. “Some volunteers stand out,” she said, of Watt. “He dedicates more time than any other volunteer. He’s at the hall every night of the operation.” Watt humbly accepted the recognition. “It’s an honour to get this award,” he said. “What I do is easy – everyone else just falls in line.” Watt is now dutifully getting ready for this year’s Red Nose season, which will operate on the following nights. Nov 24-25, Dec. 7-9, 14-16, 21-23, 2931. People wishing to access the service can call 613-962-4334 on those nights. Also, more information on Red Nose Quinte, including information on volunteering, is available at rednosequinte.com
Those who call the service can have a Red Nose volunteer meet them at their location and drive them and their car home. It’s meant to prevent impaired driving collisions at a time of the year when they’re more likely to occur. All rides must start or stop in Belleville or Trenton. But the service generally covers a vast region, from Brighton to Deseronto, to Prince Edward County and Centre Hastings. The Quinte region is one of 101 regions across Canada that run Red Nose operations, under the banner of the national non-profit organization. The theme for this year’s campaign is Your Safe Ride Home. As usual, at the Belleville launch event last year’s honourary chairs planted red foam noses onto the noses of this year’s chairs. The 2017 honourary chairs are former Belleville Police Chief Cory MacKay and Belleville Chamber CEO Jill Raycroft. They received the noses from city councillors Jack Miller and Garnet Thompson. The honorary chairs work throughout the season to promote the service. And accepting the honour was an easy decision for both women, who said they’ve worked as Red Nose volunteers in the past and have used the service, while out with their own family members. “It’s such an honour,” said MacKay, who was a proponent of Red Nose while leading the police force, up until her retirement at the end of 2016. “What do all of our volunteers do? We save lives.” The messages throughout Sunday morning’s opening ceremony– which was strategically scheduled between church time and the NFL, Allen said – was that the success of Red Nose comes down to its volunteers. And those volunteers have fun, while providing an important service, too. “Without volunteers we are nothing,” said Christopher. Ellis added that Red Nose provides Quinte residents an opportunity to be great “corporate citizens.” “Drinking and driving is something we can all advocate against,” he said.

Belch now a softball Hall of Famer BY JACK EVANS
Belleville – One of Belleville’s prominent seniors will soon add another honour to his distinguished career. Cliff Belch, a native son who retired some years ago following a distinguished record of municipal service, including time as alderman and Belleville’s chief administrative officer, is to be formally inducted into the Ontario Amateur Softball Association Hall of Fame. He’ll receive the honour at a gala banquet in Burlington on Nov. 25. In an interview, Belch notes that while the provincial association was formed in 1922, the game originated in 1887 in Cliff Belch, photographed at one of his weekly poker Chicago. club gatherings.

Belleville – The poppy project at Belleville’s Eastminster United Church continues to be a Remembrance Day week tradition. Dozens of ceramic poppies have been planted in the front garden of the church located at Herchimer and Bridge Street East in the city’s east end. The planting of these poppies was celebrated in a Remembrance Daylike ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 4 – exactly one week ahead of the special day. Since 2014, Eastminster has been holding a special Remembrance Weekend ahead of Remembrance Day. Since 2015, that weekend has involved the planting of ceramic poppies, much like the display that takes place annually in Britain, at the Tower of London, only on a smaller scale. The ceramic poppies were made by local potter Perry Poupore. Now members of the church plant them annually in the garden, and some use them to pay tribute to loved ones who served in past conflicts. Three of the several dozen poppies on display had photos of war veterans, connected to church members. One poppy is in honour of James Herbert Forde, a member of the County of London Battalion. Another honours Capt. Alexander James Kaine, a member of the Second Battalion – Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment. Another honours Trooper William Frederick Blackwood LyttonWhite of the Second North Irish Horse Regiment. The poppies will remain on display until Remembrance Day, when they’re brought home by their owners. During welcoming remarks on Saturday, Roli Tipper said the ceremony was allow people to “pause and remember” war veterans.

OPINION
B-Sens bring pro sports to region
Why China won’t budge on North Korea Over the next few days, Donald Trump will be visiting the leaders of Japan, South Korea and China, and the same topic will dominate all three conversations: North Korea. Japan’s Prime MinShinzo Abe and Gwynne Dyer ister South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in will be looking for reassurance that the United States will protect them from North Korea’s nuclear weapons, but in Beijing Trump will be the supplicant. The American president will be asking President Xi Jinping to do something, anything, to make North Korea to stop testing nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles. Trump has painted himself into a corner with his tongue, but even he knows (or at least has been told many times by his military advisers) that there is no military solution to this problem that does not involve a major war, and probably a local nuclear war. Trump promised that North Korea would never be able to strike the United States with nuclear weapons, and the reality is that it will get there quite soon (if it is not already there). The United States has no leverage over North Korea except the threat of war, so he needs China to get him off the hook. China has lots of leverage: 90 percent of North Korea’s imports come in through China, and most of its foreign exchange comes from selling things to China. Beijing could leave the North Korean population freezing and starving in the dark if it chose – but it won’t do that. Xi Jinping may throw Donald Trump a couple of smallish fish – a ban on the sale of blow-dryers and chain-saws to North Korea, perhaps – but he won’t do anything that actually threatens the survival of the North Korean regime. Yet he knows that nothing less will sway Kim Jong-un, because the North Korean leader sees his nukes and ICBMs as essential to the survival of the regime. Xi Jinping does not love Kim, and he definitely doesn’t like what he has been doing with the nuclear and missile tests. Kim has even purged the senior people in the North Korean hierarchy who were closest to China, and Beijing still puts up with his behaviour. Why? Because the survival of Communist rule in North Korea is seen in Beijing as vital – not vital to China as a whole, but to the continu-

ation of Communist rule in China. That may sound weird, but look at it from the point of view of China’s current rulers. Almost all the world’s ruling Communist parties have been overthrown in in the past quarter-century. What’s left, apart from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is just a few odds and ends: North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam and Laos. And the CCP’s highest priority is not “making China great again” or building a blue-water navy or whatever; it is protecting the power of the Party. The Chinese leadership cares about those things too, but everything is always seen through the prism of “Will it strengthen the Party’s rule?” Seen through that prism, the collapse of the North Korean Communist regime is a potentially mortal threat to the CCP as well. Beijing doesn’t stay awake at night worrying that a reunited Korea would bring American troops right up to the Chinese border either. It’s actually more likely that US troops would eventually leave a reunified Korea. After all, nobody in Korea worries about a Chinese attack, so why would the US troops stay? What truly frightens the men in charge in China is seeing another Communist regime go down. They were terrified by the collapse of the Soviet regime in 1989-91, and they blame it on the weakness and willingness to compromise of the Soviet Communist Party. For all their power and all their achievements, they see themselves as standing with their backs to a cliff. One step backward, one show of weakness, and they could be over the edge and in free-fall. Letting Kim Jong-un fall, however much they dislike him, might unleash the whirlwind at home. That is probably not true, but it has been the view of the dominant group in the Chinese Communist Party ever since the Soviet Union fell. They will not push Kim too hard no matter what the cost. And the US Joint Chiefs of Staff have just told Congress that there is no way the US can eliminate North Korea’s nuclear weapons without a full-scale land invasion. Conclusion? No matter what the various players say now, in the end North Korea will get to keep a modest nuclear deterrent force, but it will have to agree to keep it small enough that it could not possibly launch a successful first strike. Not that it could even remotely afford to build a force big enough to do that anyway. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Sure, there were some exciting years when major junior hockey in the form of the OHL Belleville Bulls were the biggest draw in this area in terms of top-flight hockey entertainment. But, those days are long gone with seeing the last of reviled former team owner Gord Simmonds heading south with the team. Today, there’s an exciting brand of hockey on the ice, a palpable buzz in the air and there’s no reason fans of sharp, crisp passing, smart playmaking and superb goaltending (most nights) shouldn’t be driving into Belleville from Norwood, North Hastings, Brighton and Cobourg, Prince Edward County and beyond to take in a game or six. Folks, this is as close as you’re going to get to see professional hockey – good hockey from players hungry to make it to ‘the show’ – without shelling out obscene amounts of cash to take one in at the ACC in Toronto, the Bell Centre in Montreal or even the Sens’ parent club in that forlorn suburban barn in Kanata. Last week, the Ottawa Sentarors and Belleville Senators pulled out all the stops to make sure we all knew there was a new, hotter, betterlooking kid in town and that kid is the B-Sens. Prior to an evening of firsts, when fans packed to the rafters the $20-million retrofitted Yardmen Arena, parent club Sens owner Eugene Melnyk told reporters he believes the Belleville Senators will be here “for life.” The owner of the new American Hockey League franchise was pressing the flesh throughout the rejuvenated Yard Barn last Wednesday and was mostly welcomed with open arms and wide smiles. “We’re going to have hockey here way beyond when I’m around,” Melnyk said, during the press conference. He later told a scrum of reporters: “It’s going to be here for life.” We’ll see on that last bit, but Wesdnsday, Nov. 1 was a celebration on and off the ice. Already, the Sens have sold about 2,300 season tickets — a positive sign for the franchise which plays in a 4,400-seat venue. If walk-up crowds of more than 1,000 come each night, Melnyk said he believes the team will be in good shape. Adam Bignell, who played all or parts of five seasons with the OHL Bulls, made a dramatic appearance last Wednesday at centre ice in the first intermission of the first Senators’ game at the Yardmen Arena. Bignell picked up a Senators jersey that had been placed at the centre dot

and pulled it on to roars of the crowd who saw the symbolism in the gesture. It was an emotional gesture because Bignell is best remembered for laying a Bulls jersey at centre ice in a spontaneous, emotional gesture after the team was eliminated from the 2015 Ontario Hockey League playoffs – the last game the Bulls played in Belleville. A crowd of 3,194 fans who had packed the Yardmen Arena on April 2, 2015, were standing in stunned silence after the players had left the ice, the Barrie Colts having won 4-2 to cap a four-game sweep of the Bulls in an OHL firstround playoff series. That’s when Bignell, then the team’s assistant captain, emerged from the dressing room to lay his jersey on centre ice; a move that drew heartfelt applause from fans and outright sobs from diehard Bulls supporters. Opening ceremonies were moving, too. A video played on the new scoreboard, to the tune of Phillip Phillips’ song, “Home,” showing clips of the final moments of Bulls history and scenes of everyday Bay of Quinte residents flying Sens colours and getting ready for the new season. The arena where the Sens practise and play looks every bit the part of a snazzily revamped forum for pro hockey – replete with eight private boxes, 800 new seats, dressing rooms described as rivalling that of any pro sports team – for the Sens at least; beer leaguers are complaining the old rooms are still drab caves – a cool standing/pub table style viewing lounge across the expanse of the south end of the rink and, of course, the ‘product’ on the ice. The play is pro-level fast, the players themselves – while not household names by any stretch – are talented, big and not afraid to mix it up. Ask the Stevenson family, five or six of whom travelled from Trent Hills on opening night to be part of the action and take in the game. (Sorry Stevensons, our photographer’s camera malfunctioned, or you’d be gracing these pages today.) That’s the kind of fan base the Sens hope – and deserve, it says here – to draw if this franchise is to be viable and popular. At ticket prices ranging from $26.25 for the best seats to $22.50 for the cheap seats, this is hockey you ought to see if you’re a fan of the game. It really is that good and this region, starved for major junior or better hockey, needs to get behind it.

Workers needed in Quinte, especially in manufacturing BY ERIN STEWART
Belleville – It’s a good time to be on the job hunt in the Quinte region with the state of the local job market. Chris King, executive director of the Quinte Economic Development Commission, said the manufacturing and industrial sector throughout the region is in need of employees. “There’s availability and openings from entry-level positions to skilled trades to professional positions in the manufacturing environment,” he said. Many companies are finding it increasingly difficult to find the amount of staff they need, as the labour market seems to be a lot tighter, King added. There are companies that are actively looking to grow and hire more employees, “which is good news for people looking to get into the workforce and find opportunities in the manufacturing sector; there’s certainly lots of opportunities,” said King. At the recent Quinte Region Career and Training Fair in Belleville, hosted by the municipalities of Quinte West and Belleville, about 50 employers were looking to fill nearly 1,000 jobs. Linda Lisle, manager of economic development and tourism with the city of Quinte West, said about 400 to 500 people looking for jobs attended the fair. Various sectors were on hand from warehouse
operations, manufacturing, office and administration support, health care and customer care. King said he credits the demand in jobs to growth in the manufacturing sector and a need to fill positions as the “baby boomer” generation starts to exit the workforce. Sometimes, the issue is that employers can’t find employees with the proper skill sets, said King. To improve manufacturing skills, the Elevate Plus program is in place to train people to help improve skills to meet the needs of the current manufacturing industry. The program gives people three weeks training, two weeks at a job trial and another week of training to get them jobready to enter into the processing and manufacturing sector. “It’s a very successful program; the people that complete the program all have full-time job offers from a variety of manufacturers so there’s definitely opportunities out there for people who are willing and able to work,” said King. The Elevate Plus program is in partnership with Loyalist College. For more information on the program, call the Loyalist Training and Knowledge Centre at 613969-1913 ext. 2294. To find jobs available in the region, go to quintejobs.ca or contact local employment services.

Veridian to help Salvation Army bus volunteers Belleville – City, Veridian and Salvation Army officials gathered at the Pinnacle Street bus terminal Monday to celebrate a great new partnership. Veridian has purchased Belleville Transit passes to help Salvation Army volunteers contribute to this year’s Christmas kettle campaign. The electrical company, which is partially owned by the municipality, purchased five December passes and 50 one-off individual passes for the Salvation Army to distribute to its volunteers. It’s a donation
worth about $550. Volunteers will soon be needed to guard kettles that will be set up at stores and other heavily trafficked areas of the city to gather donations to help those in the community who need support during the Christmas season. The Belleville Salvation Army is set to launch its kettle campaign on Wednesday, Nov. 15. “Some of the volunteers don’t have drivers licences,” said Coun. Garnet Thompson, explaining why the transit passes are such a valuable donation.

Made for Seniors
Darrell and Carmen Smith named this year’s Guardian Angels Darrell and Carmen Smith. Taylor Bertelink/ Metroland
BY TAYLOR BERTELINK
Belleville – Darrell and Carmen Smith were glowing with pride as they humbly accepted being named this year’s Guardian Angels by The Children’s Foundation on Wednesday. By day, Darrell is a senior financial consultant with Investors Group Securities Inc. while Carmen is an executive assistant as well as a part-time interpreter — by night, both are involved in numerous groups, organizations and clubs. Each year the foundation highlights an individual or couple who goes above and beyond to help children and youth in the community. “Not only do our angels give of their finances, they roll up their sleeves and give of their time,” said Aleesha Camp, chair for the Guardian Angel Gala. The Children’s Foundation is governed by its own board of directors and is the charitable arm of Highland Shores Children’s Aid to offer programs and services to improve the quality of life for at-risk children and youths in the community. The couple was unanimously chosen by the board as this year’s recipients and was awarded with flowers and recognition on Nov. 1 at the Investors Group in Belleville. The Smiths expressed how humbled and honoured they are to be named this year’s Guardian Angels. “It’s overwhelming because we have always done this for the love of giving back to the community without needing any recognition,” said Darrell. This attitude and
mindset is exactly what sparked nominators, Rev. Hal Wilson and Brenda Snider to present them as worthy candidates. The couple has selflessly devoted their time and energy into organizations such as, Big Brothers Big Sisters in which they are a title sponsor, mentor and volunteer, board members of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation, involved in Volunteer and Information Quinte (VIQ) as well as their involvement in special activities for The Children’s Foundation — just to name a few. “Do something, regardless of how little it is, any time that you can spending giving back to the community — an hour here or there, it all counts. The reward after you've helped someone else doesn't have a price,” said Carmen. The couple will be formally acknowledged at the 17th anniversary of The Guardian Angel Gala on March 3, at a location yet to be determined. “This year's theme for the Gala is, Fire and Ice — how fitting since we have the firecracker, Carmen and the calm cool collected Darrell,” laughed Camp. For more information about The Children’s Foundation visit, thechildrensfoundation.ca or to purchase a table or tickets for the gala call 613-963-9292.

P&G lauded for legacy of giving by United Way Belleville – It was an afternoon of cake and thanks at Procter & Gamble in Belleville’s Northeast Industrial Park Nov. 2, as Kathy Murphy, executive director at United Way Hastings and Prince Edward led a delegation to say thanks to a stalwart United Way supporting company.

Dr. Jacline Nyman, President and CEO
of United Way Centraide Canada was also on hand and Joe Folk, plant manager welcomed the United Way delegation, helping cut a cake for the occasion. One of the highlights of the afternoon was recognition shown to Lois Gorgerat, who was an organizer on the first P&G Belleville United Way campaign n 1976. The United Way campaign is almost halfway to its completion, with several fundraisers and corporate giving campaigns to come, say officials.

Sens’ opening night festivities help hockey fans get ready for new era BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Adam Bignell helped usher in a new era for Belleville hockey on Wednesday, Nov. 1 – two and a half years after he helped the city absorb a loss. Bignell, a former Belleville Bull, was invited to come to centre ice in the first intermission of the first Belleville Senators American Hockey League game at the Yardmen Arena. He picked up a Senators jersey that had been placed at the centre dot and put it on. It was symbolic because Bignell is best remembered for laying a Bulls jersey at centre ice in a spontaneous, emotional gesture after the team was eliminated from the 2015 Ontario Hockey League playoffs. A crowd of 3,194 fans who had packed the Yardmen Arena on April 2, 2015, were standing in stunned silence after the players had left the ice, the Barrie Colts having won 4-2 to cap a four-game sweep of the Bulls in an OHL first-round playoff series. That’s when Bignell, the team’s assistant captain, emerged from the dressing room to lay his jersey on centre ice; a move that drew heartfelt applause from fans and outright sobs from diehard Bulls supporters. “I thought it would be a nice way to finish it off,” he would say later that night, explaining that the move was not planned. Speaking through a microphone on Nov. 1, Bignell said he appreciated the opportunity to come back to the Yardmen and be a part of the Sens’ opening night festivities for the fans who always supported the Bulls “win or lose.” Bignell’s family has an integral roll in Belleville hockey history. His father Greg Bignell and uncle Todd Hawkins both played for the Bulls in the 1980s. The Kitchener native now plays for the University of Waterloo. A pre-game ceremony also helped hockey fans get excited for a new era of hockey. A video which played on the new scoreboard showed clips of the final moments of Bulls history and clips of everyday Bay of Quinte residents flying Sens colours and getting ready for the new season.

Belleville Senators and Ottawa Senator owner Eugene Melnyk was brought out for a ceremonial face-off with Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher and Ottawa Senators assistant coach and Belleville native Mark Crawford. The introduction of Crawford drew the loudest cheers. Melnyk also received a heartfelt applause. Owing to some political arguments over the costs involved in bringing the Sens franchise to Belleville, there was a smattering of boos for Christopher among applause when he was introduced.

Brothers mix it up with police Belleville – Belleville police broke up what was reported to be a scrap between a pair of brothers and wound up taking a man into custody for a slew of offences. On Sunday, Nov. 5, at 1:55 p.m. officers were dispatched to a “disturbance at an apartment on Alexander Street.” Police said they discovered that two brothers had been fighting and a check of records revealed that “one of the brothers was wanted on outstanding warrants held by the Belleville Police Service.” Police reported charges against the man include possession of stolen property and breach of probation. During the arrest of the suspect on warrants, police allege “the brother head-butted one of the officers in the chest area.” As a result, the unnamed 31-year-old Belleville man faces an additional charge of assaulting a police officer. He was held for a bail hearing on Monday. The officer was not injured while the accused suffered minor injuries.

Native Arts show celebrates harvest season BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – While classes hadn’t taken place for two weeks, owing to a college faculty strike, there was no reason to cancel a Festival of Native Arts at Loyalist College on Saturday, Nov. 4. The festival is one of many ways that the college community celebrates its connection to the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte community. (The Mohawk flag hangs outside Loyalist College, as the school’s way of acknowl-
edging that the college is located on traditional native land). Close to 30 vendors, showcasing Indigenous themed art were in attendance on Saturday and dozens of people were walking in and out, as music from drum circles filled the air. “It needs to happen. This is for the people,” said Paul Latchford, Loyalists’ manager of Indigenous Services. Latchford said the arts festival at the college is also a celebration of the end of the harvest saying. “We’re saying thanks,” he said.

Library Line: Colourful exhibits at Parrott Gallery will brighten November chilly weather. We have two musical presentations for your enjoyment in November. Rick Penner continues his celebration of Canadian songwriters and singers on Friday November 10 from 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. with our Musical Gifts Series. This month’s theme is “Canadiana with a French Twist” and will feature well and little known talent from Quebec in music and with a presentation of anecdotes and facts by Rick. And on Saturday, November 25 from 2-4 p.m. you won’t want to miss the return of the Duncan Cooper Trio featuring John Beach, Duncan Cooper and James Mackenzie for an afternoon of jazz standard and “not so standards”, obscure gems from the King Cole Trio and get a jump on the season with selections from “A Charlie Brown Christmas”. This concert is generously sponsored by Tipper Financial. Both concerts are free to attend: everyone is welcome and refreshments will be available. While you’re here to visit the shows, enjoy the concerts or attend a gallery program, be sure to leave some time to browse the amazing hand crafted work in the Parrott Shop. We’ve got gifts of all sizes, in all price ranges and in all mediums. There is a little something for everyone as we get ready for the festive season. Hope to see you at the Parrott this month!
BY SUSAN HOLLAND
During the short, dark days of November the Parrott Gallery offers warmth and colour in the form of two new exhibitions and some joy of the season in the Parrott Shop. Joan Levy Earle is an author and artist presently living in Cornwall, Ontario. Her retrospective exhibition “Dancing Brushes” is a celebration of 50 years of art and friendship – she opened her first studio in 1967 - and runs from November 2nd to the 29th. Joan’s paintings celebrate nature and spirituality, are full of colour and movement and have been widely exhibited over the years. We look forward to sharing Joan’s work with you in Gallery One. During the same time, we are pleased to welcome the members of Weavers Unlimited back to the Parrott for their second exhibition here. This talented group from the Ottawa area have designed and created shawls that reflect their heritage in a modern handwoven interpretation. Inspired by Canada’s 150 year, each member has their own individual connection with being Canadian, but the diversity is captured in the weaving which unites them. This show, like Canada, is about diversity and cohesion and celebrates pride of being Canadian. Each piece will be accompanied by an image of what inspired them and an explanation of its imporSusan Holland is the Curator of the John M. tance to the weavers’ heritage and the challenge of weaving in a 2017 context.

Belleville Senators to pay their respects
O
n November 10th and 11th, the Belleville Senators will host the Rochester Americans for the fifth and sixth games of their Inaugural Season in the American Hockey League. As much as the excitement around professional hockey in the Bay of Quinte continues to grow, these occasions provide an even greater opportunity to demonstrate our support
for the community. These dates in particular provide a tremendous backdrop to say thank you to the Armed Forces of past and present; those who have laid down their lives for us and those who continue to risk their livelihood on our behalf. As part of these games, the Belleville Senators are working closely with their partners to welcome more than 250 members of the
Canadian Forces Base in Trenton and Military Family Resource Centre across the Friday and Saturday games. In addition to the 200 tickets provided by the team,
M a c k a y Insurance and JB Print Solutions have each graciously donated additional tickets, while Leon’s Trenton will provide their luxury suite to families of those in service. Throughout each evening, the team will honour all of these individuals, as well as those not in attendance, in numerous ways. This will include an anthem performed by Anita Halfpenny and the 8 Wing Band, ceremonial
puck drop with members from CFB Trenton, moment of silence and reveille by traditional bugle call, and video tribute from members of the Belleville Senators Hockey Club. The team asks that fans and community members join them to share in these respects. Tickets for each evening are available at www.BellevilleSens.com, via telephone at 1 (855) 985-5000 or in person at the team’s Box Office. Each game will begin at 7:00PM.

Waite scored three rushing touchdown to lead the Chargers to a 26-8 victory over Quinte Secondary School Saints. One touchdown was from about a yard out, another was from about 60 yards out and another covered nearly the whole length of the field, at about 90 yards out. The game was never in doubt for CSS; a traditionally dominant football school in Belleville’s west end. The Chargers led 12-0 at the half and were up 28-0 by the midway point of the fourth quarter. Quinte found life late in the game when Garrett Bradshaw scored a touchdown on a throw from quarterback Jason Berry. Mike McFaul then caught a pass from Berry to score a two-point convert. But it was too little, too late. After Quinte recovered an onside kick, the Centennial defence held strong to preserve the win, ruin-
ing what could have been a storybook ending for the Quinte Saints, playing in their final season before the school closes at the end of this school year. There was no storybook ending for the Quinte Saints juniors either, thanks to Centennial’s strong play. In the junior final, Nolan Weagant threw two touchdown passes to Ben Duval to lead the Centennial Chargers to a 15-6 victory over the Saints. The second touchdown pass came with 3:03 to play in the fourth quarter, when Duval caught a long pass after running down the right side of the field. The Charges would then score a two-point convert on a rushing play to make it 15-0. Those scored were important as Quinte’s offence suddenly came to life. Quinte quarterback Jordan Alexzander threw a long touchdown pass to Matthew Berry, who made in the catch while in double coverage with 37 seconds to play. But Quinte’s two-point convert failed, eliminating any chance of a stunning comeback.

Peterborough – For the first time in Loyalist Lancer history, the women’s rugby team has earned an OCAA medal. After a season in which they finished in fifth place in OCAA standings, the Lancers earned a spot in the 2017 OCAA Provincial Championships at Fleming College on Nov. 4. Prior to the day’s finals action, the OCAA held an awards banquet Friday, Nov. 3, at which Lancers Kierstyn Bennett and Rachelle Malette were named to the OCAA all star team for the season. First game Saturday saw the Lancers up against the Algonquin Thunder, where they were downed 20-0 to start the day. First year Lancer Bailey Meraw was named player of the game for Loyalist. Next up for Lancers was hosts Fleming Knights in an exciting semi final match that saw the Lancers dominate 27-17. Bennett, Madison Kelly-Clarke, Bailey Meraw, Emily Reed and Annabelle Sine all contributed tries while Bennett booted a convert. First year player Emily Reed was named the Lancers’ player of the game. For the bronze medal final, it was a rematch from the morning’s opener, as the Lancers faced the Algonquin Thunder in what turned out to be a thriller. Bennett, Reed & Meraw crossed the try line for the Lancers with a try from each, putting the Lancers over the top to finish at 15-10 Rachelle Malette was named player of the game for the bronze medal match and Bailey Meraw was named a tournament all star, as was Bennett. Coaches Ken Fitzgerald and JoAnne Robinson had high praise for their charges. “This team was mighty in spirit and determination,” said Fitzgerald, “despite being among the smallest in numbers and stature across the league. They defeated some powerhouse sides to reach this level and I can’t say enough about their grit and determination to stand out as one of the best in Ontario collegiate rugby.”
Big win, blowout loss, blockbuster trade highlight Sens’ first home week BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Gabriel Gagne gave Belleville a winning night in the return of hockey to the Yardmen Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 1. But the momentum didn’t last through the weekend – and the goaltender that helped win the historic game has been traded. A big opening night win, a pair of losses and a blockbuster trade made for an eventual first week at home for the Belleville Senators. The team also played the Binghamton Devils on Wednesday, Nov. 8 in a game played after press time. Their season-opening home stand continues this weekend, with games against the Rochester Americans on Friday, Nov. 10 and Saturday, Nov. 11. at 7 p.m. both nights.
Sens beat Syracuse 4-3 in opener On Nov 1. Gagne (whose name translates to “win” in English) scored the shootout winner to give the Belleville Senators a 4-3 win over the Syracuse Crunch in Belleville’s American Hockey League home debut at the renovated Yardmen Arena. The goal was the lone goal of the three-round shootout. When Sens goalie Andrew Hammond turned away Syracuse’s Cory Conacher on the next shot, the sold out crowd of about 4,400 went into a frenzy. The win completed a night of celebration in a game that marked the return of high-level hockey to Belleville, two and a half years after the Ontario Hockey League’s Belleville Bulls played their last game. “It was awesome,” said Gagne, following the game. “The fans were good. They were into the game.” Sens coach Kurt Kleinendorst said nearly the same thing.
Gabriel Gagne celebrates scoring in a shootout in the Belleville Senators debut game at the Yardmen Arena. Stephen Petrick/Metroland “It was a great night. The production was stopped 12 of 13 shots. Attendance was angreat. The fans were great.” nounced at 3,418. The teams played again on Saturday night Checkers sweep Sens The momentum didn’t last courtesy of the and this time the Checkers won 2-1. Ethan WerCharlotte Checkers, the top farm team of the ek’s goal for Belleville at 12:28 of the first had the Sens up for most of the game. But Charlotte Carolina Hurricanes. On Friday, Nov. 3 the Checkers scored three scored at 5:40 of the third period and again at goals before the game was nine minutes old, en 15:27 to win the game, disappointing an announced crowd of 3,604 fans. Hammond was route to a 6-1 win. Jim O’Brien scored Belleville’s lone goal, at again solid in goal, stopping 33 of 35 saves. 10:48 of the second period, but the Checkers Hamburglar dealt to Colorado in Duchene deal responded with three more goals of their own.

Hammond played the third and

Sunday night, as part of a three-player blockbuster trade involving the Senators, Avalanche and Nashville Predators. The Ottawa Senators landed coveted NHL star Matt Duchene, while the Predators received Kyle Turris. With Hammond in the lineup, Belleville fans were able to see a one-time NHL star goaltender – he was the talk of hockey in the spring of 2015 when, upon being called up to Ottawa, he went on a spectacular 20-1-2 run to help the Sens reach the post-season, earning him the nickname Hamburglar. But last year a hip injury limited him to just 11 pro games and the Sens entering this season had good depth in goaltending with Craig Anderson and Mike Condon suiting up for the big club. Hammond was earning $1.5 million this year – and players making that much shouldn’t be playing in the AHL for long. The Sens had reportedly tried to trade him in the offseason, but had no takers, likely given that he was coming off an injury and was carrying a hefty salary. After looking sharp in the Sens first three games at the Yardmen, the Avalanche agreed to take him (although at press time Tuesday, it’s unclear if the Avalanche plan on keeping him or including him in another trade to a team with more urgent goaltending needs – hello Las Vegas Golden Knights). Interestingly, the Ottawa Senators next games are against the Avalanche – in Stockholm, Sweden. The two teams fly overseas for games on Nov. 10 and 11. Belleville’s Nick Paul was called up for the Sweden trip. It wouldn’t be surprising if more are called up, too.

EARLY BIRD WINTER TIRE
Quinte International Air Show grounded for 2018 BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton – Disappointing news for aviation enthusiasts across the region, the Quinte International Air Show (QIAS) has been cancelled for 2018. Colonel Mark Goulden, Wing Commander of 8 Wing Trenton, said operations at 8 Wing Trenton are first priority and, with those commitments in mind, the difficult decision had to be made to cancel the show. “The last little while has been very busy with operations and a lot of those operations have been humanitarian assistance disaster response, the operation tempo has been very, very high,” said Goulden. It’s been a busy time at the base with operations to assist with disasters such as the forest fires in British Columbia, with 8 Wing people deployed there for two months, and assisting with the hurricane disaster in the Caribbean and Porto Rico. “The people on the wing here that support those operations and conduct those operations on a day to day basis are the same people that organize an air show and, as you can appreciate, organizing an air show the magnitude we would like to run here at the base involves a great deal of effort,” he said. The 2016 QIAS took eight months of planning, which was a surprisingly short amount of time compared to many other air shows that can take up to two years of preparation, said Goulden. The base just isn’t in a position to organize an air show for 2018 with ongoing and future operations, but Goulden said he is committed to establishing a committee that will look at future air shows, a committee consisting of military members and civilian partners from the community. “I can’t commit to a date right now, but I am going to commit to establishing that committee and they are going to look at some options of how we can run an air show here sometime in the near future,” said Goulden, noting that he’s

confident there will be a QIAS back in the skies over Quinte if he has anything to say about it. “I love air shows, I would absolutely love to have an air show here while I’m the commander, absolutely.” The 2016 air show was the return the spectacular QIAS, which had not been held at CFB Trenton since 2003. The 2016 show was a success, with more than 65,000 people in attendance, great involvement with the community and Goulden said it was a nice opportunity to give back to the community and display some of what the base has to offer.
Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison, while disappointed, was very understanding upon hearing the news. “I’m not surprised, I know they’re very busy at the base and as a result of that I can understand that they don’t have time to work on the show, it takes a lot of planning and preparation, but I’m sure we will have it another year,” he said. Harrison said he loves that air show but knows that they base has work to do, with operations all around the world. “I support them and I know the men and
women of 8 Wing are working all over the world,” he said, noting that the 2016 air show had a great impact on the local region. “It had millions of dollars of impact on the region, the 2016 show was fantastic with everything from the biggest planes, Snowbirds, everything the displays, I just thought it was unbelievable.” Harrison said he’s hopeful the airshow will be back in the near future, underscoring that he’s grateful CFB Trenton is located in the Quinte West community.

UN Day event fosters discussion on inclusiveness BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – If the Bay of Quinte region is to continue to embrace inclusiveness, it will require more than just policy. It will take action and events – and in will have to involve more opportunities for people of different cultural backgrounds to get together, discuss issues and understand one another. That was the one of the dominant thoughts at a “leadership summit and lunch” event hosted by the United Nations Quinte Branch on Friday, Nov. 3 at the Parrot Gallery in honour of UN Day. The purpose of the event was to bring community leaders together to discuss how to make the region a more welcoming place for new Canadians and how the community can better celebrate and promote diversity. “You have to get people to interact with each other. You have to let people be people,” said Dr. Bill Smith, one of four people on a panel that led a group discussion. Smith, representing the United Church of Canada’s Bay of Quinte Conference, said that in the past many churches had signs on their doors that said “all welcome” but weren’t really practicing what they were preaching. The United Church has since made efforts to become more progressive, and now all clergy members must take a course on racial justice before being appointed, he said. Other panel members spoke about how their organizations are doing more to embrace diversity. Cathy Rushton, a Loyalist College vice-president, said the college is making more of an effort to attract international students than ever before. This year

there are 350 international students, from 24 countries, at Loyalist. These students add to the cultural diversity of the college. Meanwhile, administrators are doing more to ensure students cultural backgrounds are respected at the college. For instance, at convocation ceremonies now, there’s mention that the event is taking place on traditional Mohawk land.
The Hastings Prince Edward District School Board was represented on the panel by Ken Dostaler, who works in a new role devoted to equity and inclusive education. He said an equity committee of the board is working to come up with new recommendations on how school boards can be more inclusive. “We’re excited to find out what’s out there. What
are the best practices?” he said. Karen Poste, Belleville’s economic development manager, represented the city on the panel. She spoke about Belleville’s new inclusive committee, which has organized numerous events, such as a vigil held last winter in the wake of a Quebec City mosque shooting that killed six members of the city’s Muslim community. Poste said that committee has been working to create forms for people to discuss issues related to diversity, so the public can be educated on issues, or report positive stories or concerns. She spoke about the Bay of Quinte Welcome portal (at immigration.bayofquinte.ca), which tells stories about the region in seven different languages, so potential new Canadians from different areas of the world can learn about the region. Bay of Quinte Member of Parliament Neil Ellis also attended the event. He told a story about his time as Belleville’s mayor when he was working on a plan with Poste to bring new immigrants to the region. He later received a signed letter from someone saying “how dare you try to change our city.” It was an all-time low point of his time as mayor, he said, as it reminded him that there are still people who do not embrace diversity, nor change. But he believes, over the last eight years are so, there are more organizations working to open people’s minds and encourage new Canadians to come to the region to improve the city’s culture, not to mention the economy. “There are a lot of organizations saying ‘this is the right thing to do,’” Ellis said. “Together we can shape our community and make it better.”

Police charge motorists photographing wreck BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Cramahe Township –While a toppled transport truck snarled traffic Thursday on Highway 401 near Brighton at the Lake Road exit, police used the ensuing traffic jam to charge motorists who cruised slowly past the scene taking photos with their smart phones.  Eastbound traffic on Highway 401 was slowed to a crawl between Colborne and Brighton Thursday after a tractor-trailer rolled onto its side into the median shortly after 5 a.m. One lane was closed to facilitate the removal of the vehicle and related cleanup. Police issued an update on the mishap, noting the investigation into the crash was continuing, but some drivers now face fines upwards of $300 for using a handheld device while driving. In the statement, police detailed, too the wild ride the transport driver had before crashing: "Further investigation revealed that the driver was originally traveling eastbound near exit #509 Brighton when he entered the centre grass median. After driving the tractor trailer through the grassy median he joined the westbound lanes eventually losing control of his truck several kilometres to the west. No other vehicles were involved... Charges are pending against the driver, a 38 year old man from Bradford, Ontario. "Police would like to remind motorists that it is illegal to hold a hand held communication device when operating a motor vehicle. Several motorists were observed to be taking pictures with their cell A tractor-trailer headed east on Highway 401 went off the road between Colborne and Brighton shortly after 5 a.m. last phones while driving by the collision scene resulting Thursday. John Campbell/Metroland
in three drivers being charged with that offence.

Stirling council sets procedural bylaw ALASKA STAY & SSAGE CRUISE INSIDE !PA Home Pick-up ! JULY 10 TO 21, 2018
BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling - Stirling-Rawdon Council has passed a lengthy new bylaw to govern the proceedings of both council and committees and to outline standards for public notice of meetings. The bylaw brings the township into compliance with Section 238 of the Municipal Act (2001), as amended. The new council procedural bylaw No. 1183-17, which replaces the old bylaw No.362-03, takes effect immediately. It includes a detailed list of definitions (for example, what constitutes a pecuniary interest) and outlines a list of rules which must be followed during meetings. The bylaw, passed Monday, Nov. 6, also states who may attend meetings, and whether any attendee can be removed (which can only happen if the person exhibits “improper conduct”) ,who can chair a meeting, when meetings will be held and how late they can last, the order of business for agen-
das, what requirements must be met to hold a closed session, and much more. The bylaw also limits the number of delegations on any one topic at a meeting to two and states that any person or organization (other than township consultants) is limited to two appearances on the same topic within one calendar year. The bylaw also outlines the duties of those presiding over meetings, lists things which members of council or committees are not permitted to do during meetings and states how members of the public must behave during meetings, such as refraining from “public outbursts, applause, shouting or behaviour intended to disrupt the debate, discussion and/or general proceedings of the council/committee.” Now that it has been passed by council, the full bylaw soon will be available on-line at http://www.stirling-rawdon. com/category/bylaws .

“Bill 148 basically says you’ve got to give everybody 48 hours’ notice before they can be called into work, and firemen will be paid $51 an hour for three hours a day for 300 days,” said mayor Rodney Cooney. “Something like that (would cost) Stirling-Rawdon about $1.6-million.” Treasurer/CAO Roxanne Hearns said the act is open to interpretation, but that they way it reads, the township would have to match the highest rate of pay of any township employee. In the case of firefighters, she said, “Whatever the highest full-time firefighter makes, your volunteers would make. It should be totally exempt for volunteer firefighters.” Cooney said the 48-hours’ notice is also completely untenable. “Basically, I don’t know if it’s going to snow tomorrow at 3 o’clock,” he said. He stated the only way to handle emergencies under this bill would be to use private contractors. Council voted to send a letter to the government of Ontario supporting Montague’s request, which asks for the province to provide an exemption from article s.21.4 for all municipal employees who are required to be on call to provide statutorily-mandated public safety services. The Montague resolution also asks the province to do a full economic impact study of Bill 148 to see what the effect will be on municipalities across Ontario.

Stirling—The province’s Bill 148, known as the Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act, will have a huge effect on municipal budgets by impacting how emergency services are provided, according to the Town of Montague. At its meeting on Monday, Nov. 6, Stirling council agreed completely, and voted to support that municipality’s objections to the new bill.

Quinte Conservation’s popular Adopt an Acre program is back and will help support a new water monitoring and research facility at Quinte Conservation. General Manager Terry Murphy says, “the money raised with Adopt an Acre will help us build a water monitoring and research facility that will enable staff to continue with water quality monitoring programs on the Bay of Quinte and other watercourses throughout our watershed.” Murphy adds, “there have been so many changes over the past few years because of climate change that it is now necessary to have a facility like this at our office in order to ensure a healthy environment for our children and grandchildren.” For $25 donors receive a tax receipt and an adoption certificate in the name of a loved one, friend, teacher or anyone who is interested in supporting a local environmental cause. People can adopt their acre by visiting or calling the Quinte Conservation office or going online to www.quinteconservation.ca. When people adopt two or more acres, they have the choice to receive a plush toy chipmunk, fox, or (new this year) cardinal as a thank you for the donation. Quinte Conservation hopes to adopt out 250 acres this year. Last year the program raised just over $6,000 and helped to pay for signage at local conservation areas, habitat enhancement projects and invasive species removal. Quinte Conservation is a community-based environmental protection agency. It serves 18 municipalities in the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee and Salmon Rivers and Prince Ed-

Northumberland Hills Hospital victims were competition shooters BY KAREN LONGWELL
Cobourg — The man killed in Northumberland Hills Hospital police-involved shooting bragged about his large gun collection in Texas. Family members identified the couple who were killed at NHH on Friday, Oct. 27 as Tom and Helen Ryan. Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said the couple died following a shooting inside the emergency room in the NHH in Cobourg. The incident began after they were admitted to the emergency department for unknown aliments, said Jon Ansell, the lead SIU investigator on the incident. Just after 11 p.m. a shot was heard from the triage room when nurses entered the room they found the woman had sustained a head wound. Cobourg police responded very quickly and encountered the 70-year-old man. Two police officers discharged their firearms and the man was pronounced dead on scene. Dolly Rash the manager of Hospice Boutique in Brenham, Texas, where Helen volunteered once a week for about six years, described her as cheerful woman dedicated to her volunteer job. “She was just delightful. She was a very sweet lady,” said Rash.

for Helen at the ranch. Tom had a very large gun collection and both he and Helen were competition shooters at one point, said Rash. At the party Rash recalled Tom bragging about his gun collection. “He was showing off his guns,” she said. Estimates that he had 700 guns didn’t sound like an exaggeration, she added. At the party, several members of a gun club were invited and at one point went outside to fire the guns in a salute for Helen’s birthday. As an experienced shooter, Helen seemed comfortable around the guns. However, there were hints that Helen may have felt threatened by Tom, she added. Another volunteer told Rash she had concerns that Tom was abusive. Rash asked the volunteer if she thought Helen was in danger and the volunteer said she wasn’t certain. The last few times Helen came into the store Rash and other volunteers noticed there was a change in her memory. “I did see a hint of Alzheimer’s.” Helen couldn’t remember how to do some of her volunteer work but Rash just told her it was OK and just to sit

Texas friend of Cobourg hospital shooting victim had concerns BY KAREN LONGWELL
Cobourg –One of the women closest to Helen Ryan feared her friend might die at the hands of her husband. Tom and Helen Ryan, as has been widely reported, were both killed after a shooting in Northumberland Hills Hospital around 11 p.m. on Oct. 27. The Special Investigations Unit said Helen suffered a head wound after a gun shot was heard in the emergency room. The couple were brought to the hospital via ambulance after a care worker reportedly called police at Salem Woods Trailer Park east of Colborne that night. They were side-by-side, alone, when the shot was heard. The OPP, who are investigating Helen’s death, have declined to comment further on the case. Tom died after two Cobourg police officers fired their weapons. Faith Kemen, a close friend of Helen’s in Brenham, Texas, said during their 10-year friendship, Helen indicated she might be shot by her husband. “Helen had it in her mind she might go this way,” One of the women closest to Helen Ryan, shown here in photos from FAcebook, feared her friend might die at the hands of her husband. said Kemen. Metroland file photo Asked if Helen was abused, Kemen said she didn’t believe Tom touched her. “She wasn’t abused,” she said. Kemen was shocked Tom managed to get a gun she had some type of a stroke. But, once and a while, Helen would tell her she “Helen wasn’t well,” she said. feared Tom would shoot her, Kemen said. Tom had into the hospital. “They check here,” she said.

community; the tragic event that has taken place is the most severe form of domestic violence,” said Cornerstone executive director Nancy Johnston. “To end family violence, it is imperative to bring the issue further into the open, and let go of the stereotypes and misconceptions that allow people to believe it couldn’t happen to them or here in Northumberland County.” About every six days, a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner, according to Cornerstone. A 2013 Statistics Canada report found women were victims in about 80 per cent of intimate partner violence reported to police and account for 80 per cent of domestic homicide victims. However, the rate of domestic violence is likely much higher than we know, as 70 per cent of spousal violence is not reported to the police. Domestic violence has deep and broad roots, exceeding the confines of culture, economics, race or gender, and defying stereotypes of what an abuser or victim looks like. Although traumatic events like this shock our community, it is important to remember that Northumberland County is no stranger to family and intimate partner violence, according to Cornerstone. Each year, Cornerstone serves thousands of women and children through shelter, counselling and prevention programs. Cornerstone makes every effort to influence, educate and collaborate with the community, while working closely with community partners to connect victims and their families to local services. Cornerstone believes that building and maintaining strategic partnerships with the local and wider communities is essential to meeting the needs of clients. It is through recognizing and understanding the warning signs of abuse that it is possible to change the outcome of such situations before they become fatal. These could include safety planning and support for victims and their families, building awareness and skills for professionals and the community, and focusing on prevention initiatives.
Northumberland Hills Hospital creates plan after deadly shooting Northumberland — The presence of an active shooter inside Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) was new territory for the community hospital, so staff have created a new “go-forward” plan following the deadly incident. Since the shooting in the hospital’s emergency department on Oct. 27, staff have held eight meetings to discuss the incident while highlighting key themes for the future of the hospital, which include: • Support those affected by the incident • Security • Information and communication • Training and education “As hard as it has been to see and express the raw emotions felt after a traumatic incident like the one our hospital experienced on the night of Oct. 27, it has also been helpful to begin the process of releasing some of those emotions,” President and CEO Linda Davis said. “Titles and roles were not relevant to those discussions. It was a chance for us to highlight one common bond: we’re human and we’re hurting, each in our own way, and we need to talk it through.” Ontario’s Special Investigation Unit (SIU) continues to investigate the situation that ended with an elderly couple dead following a shooting inside the Cobourg hospital’s emergency room. The incident began after the couple was admitted to the emergency department for unknown ailments, Jon Ansell, the lead investigator said. The couple was side-by-

side on gurneys in a triage room when a shot was heard after 11 p.m. Ansell explained nurses found an elderly woman with a head wound upon entering the room. Cobourg Police quickly responded and encountered a 70-year-old man. Two officers discharged their firearms and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The hospital resumed regular service in the emergency department the following morning. NHH leadership worked closely this week with Cobourg Police chief Kai Liu, volunteer chaplain Andrew Truter and the hospital’s employee and family assistance provider to facilitate a series of internal
“emotion” debriefings for anyone involved in or affected by the incident. Following discussions, the hospital is offering an “expanded contract with NHH’s existing security provider, G4S Security, to increase NHH coverage to include an additional 24/7 security guard in the (emergency department) beginning this month.” A second action will see the introduction of joint training for staff with local police on what to do to minimize risk if a weapon is discovered in the hospital. Furthermore, the hospital highlighted another theme that emerged during the meetings: gratitude. “As difficult as the past week has been, there is broad agreement that we have much to be grateful for as a hospital team and a community,” Davis said. “At the top of this list is the quick and professional response of the Cobourg Police Service. We see our local police as family and they have told us the feeling is mutual. “We are also grateful for the response of our own team and our partners,” she continued. “Everyone in the building that night and in the hours and days afterward played an important role in our response. “Partners in our community and around the province have also been quick to reach out with offers of help. Patients, friends and colleagues have flooded us with food, coffee and messages of support. “We are grateful for it all.”

LHIN puts hold on Trenton’s Health Hub decision BY ERIN STEWART
Belleville – The decision on where Trenton’s Community Health Hub will be located has been put on hold, for now. The board of the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN) moved a recommendation Monday to hold a meeting for the original Implementation Task Force members, who no longer hold meetings, to inform them of a controversial decision to have the health hub located on Murphy Street – not the preferred location on Catherine Street next to Trenton Memorial Hospital. Since higher-than-recommended contaminants were found in the soil on Catherine Street – with a price tag of $760,000 for remediation – the Belleville and Quinte West Community Health Centre’s (CHC) current location downtown Trenton on Murphy Street became the recommended site, states an SE LHIN release.
The decision sparked concern and disappointment from some task force members including some from Our TMH, resulting in a bus of about 40 Our TMH members to protest and sit in during the open meeting at the SE LHIN offices in Belleville Thursday evening. Paul Huras, CEO at the SE LHIN, said he is concerned about the risks associated with building on Catherine Street, as outlined in an environmental report, commissioned by Quinte Health Care (QHC). The extensive report was completed in August, followed by a risk management report and a subsequent order-of-magnitude costing estimate. Huras said he is concerned about a number of issues, including the timeliness of the project, remediation costs and the cost of ongoing monitoring of the site with possible remediation costs in the future. “I have to measure risk and I have to determine about the risks going forward, and if I think

the risk is too great I’m not going to recommend it going forward,” said Huras. “There’s contaminants in the soil and further investigation is required, that’s a concern for a lot of people right now.” The report stated that limited groundwater data was available, which Huras said is a concern as more time, money and investigation would be needed to complete additional tests. Another issue brought up in the report was the
need for regular monitoring and maintenance of the soil and/or groundwater. With that in mind, Huras said he is concerned about the ongoing additional costs and the potential of additional remediation needed in the future. In order to move the project forward in a timely matter, Huras said the best option is Murphy Street. Story continues on Page 19...
