On Thursday, Nov. 9 Tootle was still working on it, hoping to put some pine siding on it and white trim. He was hoping to have an opening celebration for the shack later on. Tootle has gotten to know Rudkin over the past year after Tootle’s wife bought the big house at Catharine and Ritchie. Tootle, a retired tradesperson who owned his own contractor business, has been working to improve the house. But, while completing the work, he quickly came to see that Rudkin is a well respected man in the school neighbourhood. “What struck me is the love that a lot of people have for Ed,” said Tootle, commenting that he’s seen kids come up and hug the crossing guard and parents show appreciation for his efforts. “I admire how he relates to people. He’s the face of the neighbourhood.” Others in the neighbourhood seem to like the idea, too. Tootle said a neighbour came over recently to help work on the roof of the shack. He has also made sure the structure doesn’t interfere with traffic and said its small size won’t interfere with any zoning or property-related regulations. Tootle said he also wanted to build the shack because it seemed like the right thing to do. “I’m fed up with all the negativity in the world, let’s put some positive Crossing guard Ed Rudkin (right) is pictured with Brian Tootle at the See ‘Crossing guard’ Page 2

Nice gesture warms crossing guard’s heart Belleville – Brian Tootle’s warm gesture for Ed Rudkin will never be more appreciated than in the dead of winter. Rudkin, a veteran crossing guard near the West Hill’s Prince Charles Public School Belleville, won’t be quite as cold as he works this winter, thanks to the efforts of Tootle. Tootle has built Rudkin a shelter to stay warm in on breaks from helping neighbourhood kids cross streets safely. Tootle’s wife owns a property on the southeast corner of Catharine and Ritchie, just south of Prince Charles. Rudkin has worked as a crossing guard there since 2001. He’s worked as a Belleville crossing guard for 18 years in total. The job has him outside in all elements of weather in three different shifts, around the morning bell time, around noon and at the end of the school day. “I think it’s awesome,” Rudkin said of his shelter. “If it’s a minus 20 day in January and you can step, just briefly, out of the wind, it’s incredible.” Tootle said it was no problem. The shack has been nicknamed the Eddie Shack. It’s a fitting name in reference to the former great Toronto Maple Leaf player (Rudkin wears a Maple Leafs hat). About the size of an old phone booth, it is big enough for one person to stand in comfortably.

An OPP cruiser and a civilian vehicle remained at Sidney and Dundas streets in Belleville as investigators pieced together the details of the violent crash. Chris Malette/Metroland Belleville – Five people, including two OPP officers and a prisoner they had in custody, were injured in a violent crash at the intersection of Sidney and Dundas streets late Thursday night, Nov. 9. A large swath of Dundas Street West between Palmer Road and Sidney Street was cordoned off for a major OPP collision reconstruction investigation as well as investigation by the province’s Special Investigations Unit, as a result of the crash. The collision occurred about 10:30 p.m. and involved an OPP SUV that had reportedly been transporting a person in custody from Belleville to Quinte West. A small sedan with ma-

jor damage to the front end remained in place for more than 24 hours in the intersection along with the OPP SUV, with airbags deployed hard against a concrete utility pole at the intersection. The SIU issued a statement last Friday saying both OPP officers sustained serious injuries and the driver of the civilian vehicle, a 21-yearold man, also had serious injuries – though none to any involved were lifethreatening. The SIU said it is seeking witnesses to the collision and anyone who may have seen the crash or what led up to it can call the lead investigator at 1-800787-8529.

BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – The patriarch of Belleville’s most famous hockey family and a hockey legend in his own right has died. Floyd Crawford died early Saturday morning while surrounded by family members, at age 88. Crawford moved to Belleville in 1957 to play for the Belleville McFarlands Senior A hockey team. He will forever be remembered for leading the McFarlands to an Allen Cup championship in 1958 and a World Championship title in 1959. His photo, along with his teammates, hangs outside Belleville’s now dormant Memorial Arena downtown. He and his wife Pauline Crawford would go on to raise nine children in Belleville. Three of their sons, Bobby, Marc and Lou, went on to play in the National Hockey League. The other six kids, Susan, Danielle, Eric, Todd, Peter and Michael, also all grew to be successful adults. The Crawford family name can be found on almost every recognizable hockey trophy; the Memorial Cup, the Calder Cup and the Stanley Cup, as Marc Crawford won the famous trophy as coach of the Colorado Avalanche in 1996.
The family became great ambassadors for the City of Belleville. Marc, now an assistant coach with the Ottawa Senators, agreed to take on the role, in part because he could help with the evolution of the new Belleville Senators franchise. “My dad and mom have always said that Belleville is a great place to raise kids and it really is,” Marc is quoted as saying in a story on the Crawford family in the recent edition of Belleville magazine. Floyd also acted as coach, assistant coach, scout, director of player personnel and mentor to countless young hockey players since his playing career finished in the 1960s. He coached the Trenton Bobcats to an Ontario junior B title and also guided Team Ontario to a gold medal at the Canada Games in 1984. He was enshrined into the Belleville Sports Hall of Fame in 1992. Visitations were held on Monday and Tuesday at the Steele Funeral Home. A funeral mass took place Wednesday November 15 at St. Michael The Archangel Church on Church Street in Belleville. Cremation followed the service.

OPINION
DisGrace in Zimbabwe Grace Mugabe, second wife of Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe, had a moment of awful clarity about her future three years ago. Speaking about Joice Mujuru, the woman who was then viceand the Gwynne Dyer president elderly president’s likely successor, she said: “She has been telling people that once Mugabe is gone ... she will drag me in the streets, with people laughing while my flesh sticks to the tarmac.” It’s doubtful that Mujuru said any such thing, but it was very revealing about Grace Mugabe’s fears. So she had a word with her husband, and Joice Mujuru was no longer vice-president. She was replaced by Emmerson Mnangagwa, who served as Mugabe’s special assistant during the liberation war of the 1970s and had been close to him ever since. Mnangagwa survived an attempted poisoning in August, but now he is gone too. People began to see him as the heir apparent, so on Sunday Grace Mugabe told a rally in Harare “The snake must be hit on the head. We must deal with the real snake behind the factions and discord in the party.” Last Monday, Mnangagwa was fired in an official statement that accused him of “traits of disloyalty.” It was almost verbatim the same statement that was issued when Joice Mujuru was dismissed in 2014 – and it is expected that Grace Mugabe will be appointed vice-president herself at a special congress of the ruling Zanu-PF party next month. It looks like ambition run amok, but it’s actually more complicated than that. She is rich and powerful at the moment, but as Zimbabwean journalist Andy Moyse pointed out a couple of years ago: “She’s going to be terribly exposed once (Robert Mugabe) is gone because there’s no political structure to save her. She’s trying to entrench her position and her assets.” Grace Marufu was a 20-year-old typist at State House in Harare when Robert Mugabe, 44 years her senior, started to take an interest in her. She was already married to her childhood sweetheart, an air force pilot, but one thing led to another and she had her first child with Mugabe as his wife lay dying of kidney failure. She later divorced her husband, and in 1996 she became Zimbabwe’s ‘First Lady’ by marrying Mugabe.

For the next 18 years she took no visible interest in politics, but her frequent and expensive shopping trips abroad – she allegedly once spent $120,000 in a single day in Paris, and she was spotted in the business class lounge at Singapore airport with fifteen trolleys full of purchases – made her deeply unpopular with the Zimbabwean public. She was known as the ‘First Shopper’, or ‘Gucci Grace’, or just ‘DisGrace’. And then, three years ago, everything changed. It was probably just Mugabe’s advancing age that made her realize how vulnerable she would be after he died. He’s in pretty good shape for 93, but he clearly isn’t going to be around much longer. So she suddenly plunged into politics. She had her husband make her the head of the powerful women’s league of the ruling Zanu-PF party, she was awarded a PhD in sociology by the University of Zimbabwe in the record time of two months (no thesis has ever surfaced), and Dr. Grace Mugabe started traveling around the country holding rallies that became known as the ‘Graceland Tour’. All the senior members of Zanu-PF are quite rich, but she is probably the richest of all, so she has resources to buy allies. She has the Old Man wrapped around her finger, and he holds absolute power for as long as he stays alive and alert. In only three years she has shoved aside all the other contenders for the succession. “They say I want to be president,” she said. “Why not? Am I not Zimbabwean?” And president she will be after Robert Mugabe dies – at least for a week or two. But she has made a lot of enemies in the party, and she has no real popular support. Grace Mugabe is literally a bare-knuckle fighter. In 2002 she beat up a journalist who offended her using a “knuckle-duster of diamond rings”, as one report put it. Just this September she assaulted a young South African “model” whom she caught visiting her grown sons, who are both living the high life in Johannesburg. She won’t go down easily – but she almost certainly will go down. It was not Grace Mugabe who turned Zimbabwe into an economic wreck so extreme that most people’s main source of income is remittances from the fifth of the Zimbabwean population that has fled to South Africa or Botswana. Her husband is really to blame for this human disaster, but her extravagant spending makes her a target for the resentment too. Once he dies, she will be lucky to get out alive.

Crash pundits, a hockey great and Vimy oaks Editorial by Chris Malette Some observations from the Editor’s Desk: In news items over the past week, we’ve seen some interesting, if not troubling, trends in social media, some sad milestones and a poignant gesture, the legacy of which will be experienced, hopefully, for generations to come. First off, in Belleville we had a violent crash involving an Ontario Provincial Police cruiser and a civilian vehicle, a sedan, on Dundas Street West at Sidney Street late last Thursday night. Your humble correspondent has covered countless car wrecks, too many of them fatal, over the years and this was a horrific impact – so much so that, had this collision involved vehicles on the road some 25-30 years ago, we would be talking about fatalities to most involved. As it was, there were five people hurt – three of them seriously, two of those three police officers who were in a large Ford sport utility vehicle. That vehicle wound up against a concrete utility pole and the occupants, the two coppers and a prisoner, were all taken to hospital. The driver of the other vehicle in this head-on wreck, not surprisingly, was also seriously hurt. When we posted this item to our website, it appeared on other forums in the form of a news item with the photograph accompanying it. The comments, while mostly respectful and observational, naturally veered to the cruel, the ignorant and the obscene. A classic example of the seeming nonchalant habit of too many online pundits, these days, to simply spew their ill-bred, ill-informed opinions thusly: “Probably the cops fault. They don’t follow the law either. I’ve seen many use there (sic) phones while driving. Not wear seat belt. Pull through a light quick with lights on then turn them off. Etc. The list goes on.. so u really never know whose (sic) at fault. We got rear ended by a cop in tweed 5 years ago. Brutal!” To which someone who supports police quickly responded: “Wow....didn’t take long for the “blame the cops” “it must have been the speeding cop” “cops will get away with it” “cops fault probably” comments to start pouring in. Pathetic! Police officers aren’t perfect. They’re human beings and they’re flawed just like every other single human being on the face of this earth ...” You get the idea. It can sometimes make your head spin to wade into the miasma that is the comments under news items on the Internet.

Still, it’s a necessary evil as we’re told this, ladies and gentlemen, is the future of our news reporting where everyone’s a pundit and the traditional news gatherers – us – are no longer to be trusted or believed to bring you the whole story…. Sigh. ••• It was with heavy hearts, for some of us who know the family or who, of a certain age, recall the sheer joy and pride that the hockey McFarlands brought to the region half a century ago when we learned of the passing of the team and family’s leader, Floyd Crawford. Floyd died early Saturday morning surrounded by family members at age 88 and boy what a family it is. Floyd’s hockey exploits have been extolled for decades in these parts, but it’s the legacy he leaves in his sons and daughters that many of us now know. As we reported this week, Floyd and wife Pauline raised nine rambunctious, athletic and terrific children in Belleville. Many of those nine have stayed on in these parts to bring on another generation of Crawfords and, it says here, we’re the better for it. Here’s to a terrific family and Cheers to a hockey hero and a mentor to many a young hockey player in these parts. ••• Finally, we saw this past week the planting of the last of four Vimy Oaks in these parts. Fascinating story behind them and let’s hope they fluourish, grow and serve as a silent sentinel for those who gave the final sacrifice at Vimy Ridge in the First War. As the story goes, to serve as a keepsake from his term of service, a Canadian soldier, Lt. Leslie Miller, removed acorns from a fallen oak tree at Vimy Ridge. He sent these home to be planted, on his farm, in Scarborough where the trees eventually flourished and were named The Vimy Oaks. The saplings produced from The Vimy Oaks will be used to replenish the Vimy Foundation Centennial Park, in France, and also serve as commemorative trees all across Canada. Four Vimy Oak saplings were planted across the Bay of Quinte, in Bain Park, in Quinte West; Wellington Park, in Prince Edward County; Albert College, in Belleville; and Belleville’s Memorial Park. Let’s hope they fare better than the Royal Oak that was allowed to wither and die on the parking lot of what is now the Metro Store plaza on North Front Street in Belleville.

Hollywood North Film Festival keeps showcasing region’s filmmaking roots BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – In the world of film festivals, the Hollywood North Film Festival is not yet a blockbuster. The crowds and the hype leading up to it are modest, compared to the well-established Downtown DocFest held every March in Belleville. And this year it had to share the spotlight with the Quinte Canadian Filmfest, which took place in October and had the same goal of highlighting the region’s rich filmmaking history. But the two men behind HNFF continue to soldier on. This year’s festival, Nov. 10 to 12, was the third in its history and it gathered 300 film submissions; much more than could actually be shown through the weekend The opening gala, on Friday, Nov. 10 at Belleville’s Empire Theatre, featured an appearance by recording artist Tyler Shaw, who was the star of its opening film, The Meaning of Life. A post-gala reception was later held at Signal Brewing. In an interview ahead of Friday’s festivities, festival director Jacob Cote said the event has grown every year. He and his co-festival director, Rob Hoekstra, remain committed to it, even though they both live in different cities now. Cote lives in Vancouver and Hoekstra lives in Toronto. They both have busy careers, but enjoy coming to their hometown for the event, which they work on throughout the year. The festival is a passion project for them – just as some of the films shown are passion proj-
ects for their makers. “We don’t make any money off of this,” Cote said. “We’ll end up with a zero budget, if all goes well.” But, Cote believes there’s a core of film fanatics in the region to support such a festival and that there are several filmmakers who need opportunities to showcase their work. The festival continued with a full day of screening at Trenton’s Centre Theatre on Saturday, Nov. 11, followed by an evening screening of Brigsby Bear, one of the few films made by a large company. Horizon: A 360 Journey also played at the Trent Port Marina on Saturday and screenings continued at Picton’s Regent Theatre on Sunday. Cote said many of the films were made independently, or through crowd funding. Others were student projects or “passion projects,” he said. This year, the festival received a $5,000 grant from Quinte West in recognition that the event promotes the region. Trenton was once known as Hollywood North, as a film studio operated in the city from 1917 to 1934. This is allowing groups, such as the HNFF, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the start of filmmaking in Trenton. Cote said the intention of the festival is to raise awareness of the history of filmmaking in the region, in the hopes that it can spring up a new industry. “There’s a potential for real economic benefit in the region if there’s film production,” Cote said, noting that the trades industry would benefit from more people coming in and out of the

Belleville – Veterans and municipal councilors joined MP Neil Ellis to plant the fourth Vimy Oak sapling in the Bay of Quinte riding since a campaign began last month to plant saplings of the memorial trees. “Canada’s role in capturing Vimy Ridge, during the First World War, is well documented and understood to be a defining moment in our national history,” said Ellis. The Canadian forces capture of the ridge was a remarkable and hard won achievement. However, by April 12, 1917, the landscape of Northern France was blighted by the wider severity of war and the costs of this success. As a keepsake from his term of service, a Canadian soldier, Lieutenant Leslie Miller, removed acorns from a fallen oak tree at the Ridge. He sent these home to be planted, on his farm, in Scarborough, Ontario. The trees which eventually flourished were named The Vimy Oaks. Today, ten trees survive on that original woodlot property, as a testament to Miller’s ingenuity and foresight to help future generations Veterans and members of city council joined MP Neil Ellis to plant a Vimy Oak at Memorial Park on Station Street in Belleville Friday.

The Mayor and Mitch show can be nasty, cringe-worthy Panciuk also presented a motion – which ultimately failed in a 5-4 vote – to have staff review it and see if the new board meets quorum. Later in the meeting, Panciuk changed his mind and said he would continue to serve on the board.
BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Almost every city council has one. That is a councillor who dislikes the mayor; who takes every opportunity he or she can to question the leader’s actions. Jodie Jenkins was Mayor Neil Ellis’s adversary in Belleville last term. It got to such a point that Jenkins once famously lunged at the then mayor outside of budget talks with a cadre of city hall staff looking on. In Brighton, Coun. John Martinello sees his political life’s mission to make life miserable for Mayor Mark Walas. These challengers are seen as heroes to some who want change at the top, or who simply love a messy political landscape. Or they are little more than attention seekers who use the municipal process as political theatre to further their political aspirations. It depends on your view. It is, then, little secret there is current sturm und drang happening in Belleville municipal politics and the biggest pain in the mayor’s throne for Mayor Taso Christopher is Coun. Mitch Panciuk. The long-running feud between the Edmonton-native chain restaurant owner and the mayor took another dramatic turn on Monday, Oct. 23, when Panciuk accused Christopher of questioning the integrity of himself and two fellow councillors. Christopher eventually apologized for his comments – only after disappearing behind closed doors for nearly an hour to review video footage of the comments in question. The strange turn of events represents just one example of when Christopher and Panciuk’s personalities clashed for anyone who cares to watch. Here are some other examples where the Panciuk-Christopher feud led to dramatic – even humorous – results. During a council meeting on Sept. 28, 2015, Panciuk exercised privilege to stand up and accuse Christopher of an “ambush.” Panciuk expressed anger over what happened at an August 10 council meeting and accused Christopher of allowing another councillor to question whether Panciuk would be in a conflict of interest if he was involved in any discussions on matters related to the Belleville Agricultural Society, upon which Panciuk once served. Panciuk said the move was to “surprise me or intimidate me ... Some would suggest it was an ambush. This matter and the way in which it was raised ... do not sit well with me,” he said. Christopher sat expressionless through the speech. He, nor any other councillors, asked questions or commented on the matter.
Mayor and Mitch square off on downtown construction costs
Debate over costs of Belleville’s City Centre Revitalization Project have constantly demonstrated the difference in political opinions between Christopher and Panciuk. Christopher has constantly defended the price of the project – expected to come in at $34.5 million when complete by next year – and city staff’s handling of it. Panciuk has constantly questioned it and was particularly vocal as Phase 2 spending was decided. By the time council had committed to Phase 2 of the project, it had agreed to $21 million in spending – about the price that was originally projected to cover all three phases, before the whole scope of work needed was uncovered. In January 2016, Panciuk presented a motion that asked the city to consider a Local Area Improvement Charge

In late 2015, a former Belleville Agricultural Society volunteer took Panciuk to small claims court, hoping to receive nearly $25,000 – money she felt she was owed for unpaid photography work and for damages to her reputation she alleged were caused by Panciuk, when he was an executive with the Society. Panciuk was cleared of any wrongdoing, but Christopher was swept up in the matter when he had to attend court in December to testify on behalf of the accuser, Bente Marie Nielsen. The mayor testified that he was once asked by the woman to escort her out of an event where Panciuk was present. In January 2016, Panciuk held a press conference at City Hall to tell reporters he had been cleared of any wrongdoing. There, he and his lawyer claimed that it wasn’t their intention to have Christopher swept up in the matter, but they said Neilsen had insisted in having him testify. Following the press conference, a source told the Belleville News that Christopher was livid with Panciuk for staging a press conference at City Hall to discuss a personal matter.
for downtown businesses to cover the rising costs. It was struck down by the majority of council and Christopher then had harsh words for Panciuk, accusing him of spreading “mix messages” about the project, exaggerating the price increases and suggesting that citizens are unhappy about the project. “Your comment is that everyone is concerned. I’m not concerned at all,” Christopher said at the time. “You’re commenting Panciuk tries to sit in mayor’s chair Panciuk ran for mayor unsuccessfully in 2010, losing badly to for 51,000 people?

Hundreds pack Memorial Park for Belleville Remembrance Day ceremony BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – The parade marched to the sound of band music and the beating of drums. Spectators along the streets saluted it and applauded with appreciation as it entered and later left Memorial Park. Hundreds of people packed the Station Street park for the city’s annual Remembrance Day ceremony on Nov. 11. The event to honour those who’ve lost their lives in war is traditionally well attended but with this year’s ceremony falling on a Saturday and the weather being brilliantly sunny, there was an even larger than normal turnout. The ceremony started with a massive parade that started from the Belleville Armories and included a colour party featuring veterans groups, cadet groups and current members of the Canadian Forces. As the parade entered the cenotaph area of the park, a massive crowd formed around it and stood in respect at the playing of the last post and a moment of silence. In an opening prayer, Padre Major Wil BrownRatcliffe said the event is about remembering “the valiant way in which Canadians have served, which have instilled in us a rightful pride.” Later Padre Hurley also reminded the crowd that Remembrance Day is not a time to celebrate past military victories. It’s a day to “emphasise fallen soldiers.” He read the famous Ode to Remembrance, “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.”

The parade is expected to have about 75 floats. Float builders this year are also competing for prizes for best lighting, music, themes and community spirit. New categories this year include best “hockey theme” to honour the arrival of the Belleville Senators as well as the Rogers Hometown NHL Hockey Tour, which will stop in the city in February. There is also a category unique for 2017 for the best Canada 150-themed float. The event will also have four marching bands this year including for the first time The Princess of Wales Own Regiment Pipes & Drums from Kingston. Parking is free throughout the downtown core on parade day, however, there is no parking permitted on Front Street between Bridge and Station street to provide optimum viewing and safety.
Belleville – It will begin to look a lot like Christmas in Belleville this weekend. Holiday festivities in the city begin Friday, Nov. 17 with the annual Christmas at the Pier lighting display launch, followed by the Belleville Santa Claus parade on Sunday night, Nov. 19. Friday’s lighting ceremony takes place from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Jane Forrester Park, 30 John St., just north of Meyers Pier. This event traditionally brings out city dignitaries and families to see the massive Christmas light display lit up for the first time. This marks the seventh straight year that the city has been involved in the exhibit. The display features a mix of decorations that have been donated by private families and decorations provided by the city. Among the privately donated decorations are those from the Foster family. This family started putting up a large display at their house every Christmas to honour their son Billy “Fireplace Showroom” and his good friend Art Culloden, who were killed in a car accident in in your Home Comfort 1958.

Belleville – A Craig Road barn was destroyed and three firefighters received minor injuries during a fire near the city’s eastern boundary on Sunday. Numerous 911 calls at about 12:30 p.m. led to Belleville Fire, Tyendinaga Fire and Mohawk Fire departments to attend the scene, just west of Shannonville Road and north of Hwy. 401. Tyendinaga firefighters arrived on scene first and Belleville firefighters gave tanker assistance. The Tyendinega Fire Dept. continued to apply water to the barn until Belleville Fire was able to take control of the fire. At that time, incident command was transferred to Station 3 Commander Ken Baumhour. Tyendinega and Mohawk Fire Department tankers remained on scene to shuttle water to two portable water
tanks set up at the fire scene. After an investigation and interviews with witnesses, the fire was determined as accidental, Belleville Fire said in a statement. It originated near the north side of the barn from the improper disposal of wood stove ashes. It was unclear on Sunday if the barn was insured. The cost of the damages, including the loss of hay, was estimated at $50,000. Of the three injured firefighters, two were assessed and treated at the scene. Another firefighter was taken by ambulance for assessment and released from the hospital at around midnight. The names of those firefighters and the departments they represented was not released.

App to support local food producers expands to Eastern Ontario Belleville – A Belleville pasta maker is using smart phone technology to stir up new markets. A new app called FreshSpoke is providing supporters of Eastern Ontario food producers a delicious new opportunity in the form of a newly developed smart phone application, or app. The platform handles the order, payment and delivery for food producers and gives institutions, restaurants and retailers a direct pipeline to fresh, local food, delivered to their door using an Uber-like delivery system. Among the participating businesses is Belleville’s Pasta Tavola. “We know there’s a growing wholesale market for our products but managing orders and deliveries on top of everything else we do in a day is challenging,” states Victoria Watts, owner of Pasta Tavola, located at 109 Front Street in Belleville. “FreshSpoke is well timed and their tools make it possible for local food producers to work together to grow our businesses and the local food movement. “We also plan to leverage the extra capacity we have in our delivery trucks to help other producers get their products to market and offset our own delivery costs.” FreshSpoke has been produced by a Barrie, Ont.based group. In a media release to announce the app’s expansion to include Eastern Ontario businesses, the app is described as something that is “shaking up the food industry with an online marketplace for the growing cohort of wholesale buyers turning away from imported and processed foods in favour of those produced closer to home. “FreshSpoke is tackling the distribution challenges that, until now have kept most farmers and micro-producers out of the wholesale market.” FreshSpoke CEO Marcia Woods said, “consumers are demanding more local and sustainable sourcing on
the part of institutions, retailers and restaurants, but the existing food system doesn’t make it easy or economical to buy or sell local food on a commercial scale.” “Instead of putting more trucks on the road, FreshSpoke leverages the excess capacity that already exists in the delivery system,” Woods added. “This drives down costs and gives commercial drivers, including producers, the ability to earn extra income delivering local food.” FreshSpoke appears to be growing steadily, as some 140 wholesale Greater Toronto Area businesses are now registered buyers with access to an online catalogue of over 1,000 products from some 160 local producers. FreshSpoke has also launched a mobile app for consumers called Local Food Champion that gives consumers the ability to authenticate the origin of foods labelled as local. “Food fraud has become a serious issue in the food industry with a few bad apples making false claims about the origin of food products they sell or serve. This hurts our local food producers and compromises the integrity of our food system,” explained Woods. “The Local Food Champion decal on buyers entrances signals patrons to open the app and get real time product and producer information about what and when that purveyor has procured through FreshSpoke.” FreshSpoke is holding a series of public information sessions throughout Eastern Ontario during November.

50 years of rolling up sleeves for this nurse BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – When flu shot season approaches, no one rolls up their sleeves and gets to work quite like Sharon Dracup. The Hastings Prince Edward Public Health nurse was recently recognized for 49 years of service providing immunizations to the community. Public Health immunization manager Bill Sherlock applauded her efforts at a board meeting on Nov. 1, telling the audience that Dracup is believed to have immunized 150,000 people throughout her career. “She has essentially immunized all of Hastings and Prince Edward,” he said, triggering laughter. Dracup later corrected Sherlock and said the number is closer to 190,000. She started working for the heath unit in 1968 at age 21, when there were only five different immunization vaccines. Today, there are dozens and Ontario’s annual influenza vaccine program keeps her busy every fall. She’ll work this year’s flu shot season by attending several different
community clinics, plus operating clinics at the Belleville Public Health building on North Park Street. They take place on Tuesdays, from 12 noon to 6 p.m. and Thursdays, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and are by appointment only. After this year’s flu season, she plans on officially retiring. Dracup delivered her own heartfelt speech to the board, which ended with a standing ovation. She said, over her career, she has witnessed the positive impact immunization programs have made, especially in improving child mortality rates. When she first started, she said, it wasn’t unheard of for a child to die of meningitis. “Today that just doesn’t happen,” she said. “So there is movement forward.” Sherlock applauded Dracup for her professionalism, on both the social and medical aspects of her job. “She has established a strong work ethic among the team, she works very quickly, very effectively,” he said. “She calms people’s fears, makes people feel comfortable, but she also knows the science side of it,” he add-
ed, explaining that she records data and fulfills the administrative duties of her job effectively. And she make it seem painless. “It didn’t hurt at all,” said one Public Health employee, upon getting her shot at Dracup’s clinic following the board meeting. Board chair Maureen Piercy and Medical Officer of Health Dr. Ian Gemmill also got their shots from Dracup that day, to applaud her efforts and show their own support for flu shot clinics. Board member Jo-Anne Albert noted that in 1968 she was starting a teaching career in Tweed and Dracup worked in her school. “I think we’ve held down many kids and picked them up off the floor,” Sharon Dracup delivers a flu shot to Dr. Ian Gemmill, Hastings Prince she joked. “She was enthusiastic then. Edward’s Acting Medical Officer of Health. Stephen Petrick/Metroland After 49 years you still have that enthusiasm.” In her 49th year of work, Dracup continues to advocate the importance of getting vaccines, especially the flu shot. And she says she still loves her job. “It’s in my body and in my bones,” PINNACLE PLAYHOUSE she said.

Library Line: Recommended reading for cold, dark nights BY TREVOR PROSS
As the weather turns cold and it gets dark before dinner time, what better way to stay cozy and warm than curling up with a thick blanket and a good book? Here are some reading recommendations that you may enjoy. If you enjoy science fiction, or have an interest in theoretical physics, astronomy, or Chinese history, check out The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu. Even if you are not interested in those topics don’t let that dissuade you: this is a fun, fast read that will leave you wanting more. The Three Body Problem is the first science fiction novel by a Chinese writer to have widespread popularity internationally. It is the winner of the Hugo award, another first for a Chinese writer, and it has won several awards in China. This book is amazing and unique: I
have never read a book quite like it. I won’t give away the story but this is a hidden gem that you won’t regret trying out. Another great science fiction book, the first in the Seeds of Earth trilogy, is called Humanity’s Fire by Michael Cobley. This is an excellent space opera type saga with plenty of likeable characters, sweeping political drama, and epic action. It begins with a small space colony of humans that have lost all contact with Earth, which they assume to be destroyed after the disastrous alien invasion that led them to flee their home more than a hundred years before. The series has a major theme of Artificial Intelligence running through it, with fascinating implications for the cultures affected by this technology. I highly recommend this title to anyone who likes classic science fiction or has an interest in
A.I. Another series that I highly recommend is the R. Daneel Olivaw series by Isaac Asimov. The Caves of Steel, followed by the The Naked Sun, and then The Robots of Dawn, are science fiction mysteries. The main character is a brilliant Detective named Elijah Bailey, who much to his dismay gets assigned a robot partner named R. Daneel Olivaw. Tasked with a series of seemingly impossible murder mysteries to solve, Elijah must pull out all of the stops, and question everything his terrestrial upbringing has taught him, in order to not only solve the mysteries but ultimately to save Earth from destruction. The really great thing about these books is that the history and the universe they describe are consistent. Trevor Pross is the CEO of Belleville Public Library.

Trenton Golden Hawks pull through with overtime win over Aurora Trenton Golden Hawks captain Mac Lewis in the team’s special RCAF third jersey during the Remembrance Day opening ceremony on Friday, Nov. 10. Erin Stewart/Metroland
BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks managed to come out on top with an overtime victory against the Aurora Tigers in Trenton on Friday, Nov. 10. After a Remembrance Day opening ceremony, the Hawks started out slow in the first period, managing only five shots to Aurora’s 14. Aurora’s Zach Wilkie scored the first goal of the game at 12:22. Trenton bounced back in the second, closing the shots-on-net gap and tying up the game with a goal by Max Ewart, assisted by Caleb Boman and Steven Elliott. The final five minutes of the third period
were tense as Elijah Gonsalves scored at 15:43, giving Aurora a 2-1 lead. Trenton’s Tiger McDonald helped the Hawks bounce back with a power-play goal at 17:02, assisted by captain Mac Lewis and assistant captain Michael Silveri, forcing overtime. Shaun Bily scored the Hawks’ OT game winner 4:33 into the overtime period, assisted by Lewis and Boman. Trenton improved to 11-12-1-0 and have a weeklong break until they head to Pickering on Friday, Nov. 17. The Hawks’ next home game will be Wednesday, Nov. 22, against St. Michael's and then Friday, Nov. 24, against Wellington.

Belleville – Sure, Belleville isn’t an Ontario Hockey League city anymore, but that’s no reason for fans here to not pay attention to the province’s top junior league. There’s still a few homegrown players making a name for themselves in the ‘O’. Belleville native and Quinte Red Devils product Anthony Popovich has emerged as the No. 1 goaltender for the Guelph Storm this season. As of Nov. 10, he had a 8-6 record on the year and a more-than-respectable 2.72 goals against average and 0.920 save percentage. He earned his first OHL shutout on Oct. 29 when he stopped 37 shots in a victory over the London Knights. Las season, Popovich played in 30 games with Guelph, and posted a 4.61 GAA and .876 save percentage. Another Belleville native is blossoming in Mississauga. As of Nov. 10 Shaw Boomhower had seven goals and three assists in 13 games for the Steel-
heads. The 19-year-old centreman is on pace to eclipse last year’s totals, when he scored seven goals and 10 assists in 60 games. Meanwhile, two Campbellford kids continue to contribute to the Kingston Frontenacs. Left-winger Nathan Dunkley had three goals and eight assists in 12 games for the Frontenacs, heading into last weekend. This, after he posted 31 points in his OHL rookie season last year, filling the promise of a first-round draft pick. Fellow Campbellford native Jakob Brahaney, a defenceman, is in his third season in Kingston. He had one goal and five assists after 16 games.
Coyotes snap winless skid
Meanwhile, it’s been a tough season for Belleville-born National Hockey League players so far. But the good news is at least the Arizona Coyotes have won a game now. Brad Richardson and Nick Cousins have the dubious distinction on being on the NHL team with the longest losing streak to start a season – 11 games. But the streak ended on Oct. 30 when the Coyotes beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 in overtime (despite losing a twogoal lead in the last minute of regulation). Cousins, as of Nov. 10, had a goal and three assists in 15 games. Richardson had three assists in 16 games. In Montreal, Andrew Shaw is havOWNER ing a decent season, despite battling injuries and the team’s overall struggles. 54 Everett St. Belleville Ontario Shaw, as of Nov. 10, had three goals and five assists after 17 games T: 613.919.6038 | E: info@peaceofmindservices.ca for the Habs, who struggled to a 7-9-1 record to start the season. www.peaceofmindservices.ca

Jr. Saints lose a thriller at Paddon field, Chargers 0-2 at COSSA Belleville – The final game every to be played on Paul Paddon Field at Quinte Secondary School turned out to be a barn-burner. The Saints played host there to the COSSA AAA junior football final Wednesday afternoon at Paddon Field and gave fans everything they could have hoped for in falling 29-22 to Peterborough Thomas A Stewart in double overtime. The Saints looked out of it, down 21-0 in the second quarter and 21-7 at halftime before they battled back to force a double Texas shootout style overtimeat 22-22 at the end of regulation. Quinte’s Matthew Berry ran in a two-point conversion from one yard out that tied the game in the dying seconds of the fourth quarter and sent the contest into O.T. Saints Jakob Akey racked up three touchdowns for the Saints and picked off a pass on defence. Berry, along with his crucial two-point conversion, kicked two PATs. For TAS, powerhouse running back Max
Levaseur had a trio of TDs plus a punt single. Robin French caught the game-winning touchdown from Griffins quarterback Daniel Milburn, plus booted four PATs. On defence, Noah Thompson had two INTs. In senior COSSA play Thursday, it was Centennial Chargers’ turn to lose at the hands of a Peterborough squad, after a 17-5 loss to the Peterborough Crestwood Mustangs in the COSSA AAA final at MAS Park. Crestwood conceded a two-point rouge to Chargers and the only scoring for the previously unbeaten CSS squad was in the form of a 35-yard field goal by Chargers kicker Connor Cruickshank. It turned out to be a grim Thursday, all around, for Centennial’s football program as the Above: CSS’s Derek Lutz lunges to pull down a Crestwood Chargers juniors were blanked 17-0 in Fenelon Falls in the COSSA AA junior final there, fall- ball carrier in the Senior AAA COSSA final.

Unfazed by trade, Andrew Hammond backstops B-Sens to wins over Binghamton, Rochester BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Give a hand to the Hamburglar. In the week after he was traded by the Ottawa Senators he was still playing well for the Senators – the American Hockey League’s Belleville Senators that is. The goaltender made 25 saves to lead the BSens to a 4-3 win over the Binghamton Devils on Wednesday, Nov. 8 at the Yardmen Arena. He followed that up with another win in goal, a 5-4 overtime victory over the Rochester American, on Saturday. Hammond, nicknamed the Hamburglar, was traded to the Colorado Avalanche organization on Sunday, Nov. 5 as part of an NHL blockbuster trade. But the Avalanche immediately decided to loan his services to the Belleville Senators, while looking to trade him to another team with more urgent goaltending needs. Despite the uncertainly over his future, Hammond played sharp against Binghamton. After the game, Hammond said he knew from the time of the trade that the plan was for him to stay in Belleville – and he was happy about that. “Obviously it’s a unique situation, but I’m happy to be here and able to play with these guys,” he said. “I had a conversation with (the Avalanche organization) on Sunday night. The gist of it was ‘just keep playing well, it will take care of itself. Just try to keep winning games.’ And that’s what I’m going to do.” Hammond has played his entire pro career with the Senators organization and will forever be remembered for a great stretch with
Ottawa in 2015. Following the Binghamton game, he said he was grateful for the opportunity to stick with his Belleville teammates for the time being. “It’s nice to have the guys still and not have to be on the side of things where you have to make friends with 25 new guys. I really like it here. The guys, the coaching staff, the fans, everything.” Belleville Senators coach Kurt Kleinendorst praised the play of his goaltender following the win. When asked if there’s any dilemma with playing Hammond now – given that his role is to ensure Ottawa Senators prospects are developing properly – he chuckled a bit and said, “no there’s no dilemma, no, no, no.” The decision to keep playing Hammond was based on the fact that he’s been playing great of late. Kleinendorst said Ottawa Senators general manager Pierre Dorion would never ask him not to play Hammond, if he’s helping Belleville win games. “He’s a part of our family. He got traded to Colorado – I get that. But we’re not going (to bench him). We’ve got a guy running hot here. We’re getting timely saves … You devel-
op through winning. You make more progress through winning.” Jim O’Brien also had a great night for the Senators against Binghamton, scoring the opening goal at 14:49 of the first and what would turn out to be the game-winner, at 13:53 of the second. Colin White and Max McCormick also scored in the second period for the Senators, helping the home team build a 4-1 lead. Next, the Rochester Americans visited the Yardmen for a two-game series Friday and Sat-
urday. In Friday’s game, the Americans skated to a 4-2 win, despite goals by Belleville’s Max Reinhart and Gabriel Gagne. Danny Taylor took the loss in goal despite stopping 26 of 30 shots. On Saturday, Jordan Murray was the hero. He scored a hat-trick, including the overtime winner, to lead the Senators to 5-4 victory. Thomas Chabot and Francis Perron also scored for the Sens. Hammond earned the win by stopping 19 of 23 shots.

WINTER TIRE CHANGEOVER
Faithful fostering earns accolades for the Parsons BY JACK EVANS
Foster parenting is not for the faint of heart, longtime foster parents Ernie and Linda Parsons agree. The Parsons attended an annual banquet recently to mark November as Foster Parents Month, as they usually do, but were “totally surprised” to receive a special recognition award for their devotion to fostering. Ernie, a well-known Quinte area resident, former MPP and a board member of the Children’s Aid Society for many years, commented: “I looked around that room and thought of so many foster parents I knew who deserved the award more than us. I know some who took on some really challenging cases – ones that I would not have wanted.” In an interview last week at their Stirling area home, Ernie and his wife, Linda, summed up their experiences as “challenging, but rewarding.” The award was in the shape of a narrow signboard, handcrafted with the wording: “Our family is a circle of strength and love,” and both are proud to display it in their rural kitchen. Ernie recalled how he felt so rewarded at becoming a foster parent that he volunteered to serve on the children’s aid agency’s board to help pay it back. He remained on it in various roles, including chair, for 25 years, resigning because of potential conflict of interest after he was elected as MPP and assigned duties to look after that portfolio in the Liberal government of the time. The two have been so active as foster parents over the years that they can’t accurately report the number of children they have been involved with. “It would be somewhere around 40,” said Parsons. “Some of them were only with us for a short time.”

The two recounted stories of children who, once they had earned their confidence, often turned abysmal school records around, thanks to safe shelter, adequate meals and a warm bed. They talked about how it was a complete family effort with their own children assisting in welcoming and helping the
foster children and the sacrifices their own children made, losing desired quality time to the visitors who needed their parents’ attention even more. They reviewed the disturbing fact of being construed as the “enemy” by birth parents and the agony of dealing with innocent
stand-by grandparents. “We were not supposed to talk to any of the family,” said Ernie, “but if we bumped into them at the mall or on the street, we would chat. Most of the parents also overcame their animosity and became friends later.” He had high praise for new trends in foster care, including, many years ago a change in policy from “what’s best for the family” to “what’s best for the child.” “I can’t think of any case of a child taken into CAS care that was not best for the child,” said Ernie. And he had high praise for the new policies which he called “kin care,” – trying to find a suitable family relative as the first choice for placement. The results are showing a great improvement, he added. He also recalled the formation of the original Hastings CAS Foundation. “I was on the board at the time and opposed the idea, but I was wrong. That has been a tremendously successful operation on behalf of the children, with improved care and education opportunities.” He cautioned adults getting involved as foster parents in hopes of making money. “You probably won’t lose any, but I can’t see actually making money.” Both he and Linda also praised the training program the CAS offers to prospective new foster parents and urged people to attend all classes. As Christmas approaches, Parsons said Christmases for foster children is a particularly difficult time. He also noted that it usually takes up to several months to build trust with the children. The bottom line is, “There is always a need for good foster parents,” he said.

Plan for tree growth, save those trees
BY CARSON ARTHUR For the last few years, I’ve been getting more homeowners questioning the large trees in their yards. After ice storms, hurricane force winds, and now record snowfalls, the trees on our prop-
erties have taken quite a beating. Before you decide to get rid of your trees in favour of less yard word, there are a few things you might want to consider. According to the Appraisal Institute of Canada, and Tree Canada, trees are not just important for the environment; they have real value when it comes to your actual home. Trees on your property can be worth more then $19000 and save you more than $175 dollar on your energy bills. • All of the current research shows that homebuyers prefer houses on streets that have trees. In fact, properties with healthy mature trees show an increased value of between 3 and 5% over homes that have none. This means that on the average Canadian home, those trees are worth between $10500 and $19000 • Trees are nature’s outdoor climate control but they also impact the inside of your home. A well-placed tree that
shades your home in the hot summer months can save you up to $55 each year, and an additional $120 in winter heating costs. When it comes to the winter months, most homeowners would rather be inside under a blanket beside a fireplace. Unfortunately, there are a lot of outdoor jobs that get pushed off into spring that really should get done right now. Once the leaves have fallen off your shrubs and bushes, its time to prune and reshape. Before you go crazy however, scratch the surface of the plants to make sure that there is no green under the bark. If it’s all dried out, then that branch can be removed without causing the plant any serious damage. This is also the perfect time to bring in your arbourist to tackle any of the big limbs and dead wood, which may snap off during the winter and cause damage to your home and property If you are now looking forward to 2018 and might be considering adding a new tree, there are a few
things simple rules to picking the right one. The type of tree makes a big difference when it comes to valuation. Trees that don’t do well in an urban setting can negatively impact the homes around them. Species like willow, poplar, balsam fir and Manitoba maple all have less than desirable qualities, making them better for rural locations. The best deciduous trees for home valuation continue to be the ones with great fall colour like Autumn Blaze Maple or the slower growing varieties like Oaks because they provide more shade and stay healthier longer. After doing a series of videos and instructional pieces for Ontree.ca, I learned that the location of your trees is also important. If you are planting new trees this spring around your home, use these simple tips as a good general guideline for placement. • Evergreens and conifers should be placed on the north side of your property. That way they help to block
the cold winds in the wintertime. To maximize their effectiveness, don’t plant your evergreens in a straight line. Instead, stagger then in a zigzag pattern • Plant your shade trees on the south side of the property to create the most protection from the summer sun. Make sure you follow the individual planting guidelines for each type of tree that you plant. Don’t assume that all trees grow the same, even if they come from the same family. Instead of removing those valuable assets, proper care makes a lot more sense. You wouldn’t throw out your car before a mechanic took a look at it. The same goes for a tree in your yard. Have an arbourist come in to remove those dead branches and missing bark to ensure that your tree not only stays healthy, it continues to make you money for your home investment.

Local comedy wins big

BY JACK EVANS
The Quinte area continues to make waves in the Eastern Ontario Drama League with s major win at the annual one-act festival in recent days. With nine theatre companies across the region taking part, a comedy by Belleville up and coming playwright Peter Paylor, won the People’s Choice award for “Tea With Roger,” and also the Special Adjudicator’s Outstanding Performance Award. The latter was designated for two Belleville women who featured in the two local entries, Kathryn Dalmer and Judy Preece, plus the Old Church Theatre and the play’s producer, Nancy Garrod and director Scott Roodevoets and the Bellevillle Theatre Guild. The People’s Choirce Award is sponsored by the Brighton
Barn Theatre, so is a replica of the famous Presqu’ile lighthouse. This was one of two plays by Paylor performed at the Bonisteel Old Church Theatre a few weeks ago and won rave reviews at that time. Two senior women meet over tea to discuss the fate of one their husbands who thumps his way through the play while bound and gagged in a nearby closet. The second play, “The Green Thumb Gang,” also starred Dallmer and Preece as two inept house burglars and was entered by the Belleville Theatre Guild. Meanwhile, Paylor’s first play, “Rosewood: Tales from the Tavern” which has also drawn popular support throughout the region, is being re-staged over the next few weeks.

Section B - Thursday, November 16, 2017 B5
Take a luxury river cruise on Portugal’s ‘River of Gold’ our route, and we learned that about half of the world’s supply of cork is produced right here in Portugal. The cork industry is generally regarded as ‘environmentally friendly’ for the tree is not cut down to obtain cork. Instead, it’s simply de-barked, so the tree continues to live – and the bark re-grows. Once a cork tree is about 25 years old, the cork tree is stripped of its bark for the first time, but that first cutting is usually not of a very good quality. It improves with age, so the next bark stripping, 9 years later, is usually much better in quality; then the debarking continues, every 9 years, for the rest of the life of the tree. Before this cruise, if I thought of cork, I’d immediately think of a wine bottle. After all, the cork’s elasticity and near-impermeability makes it wonderful as a bottle stopper. However, as a result of this trip, I saw that cork was used in a great number of other products, too, including wallets, purses, belts, jewellery, hats, and badminton shuttlecocks. It’s also used for automotive gaskets, trivets, bulletin boards, insulation, fishing floats and buoys, and as floor and wall tiles. It’s quite the product – and it’s considered nonallergenic and a natural fire retardant. Not only did we see a lot of cork trees and products, but olive trees were also very plentiful. This fruit is picked and fermented, and the curing process can take quite some time (even several months).

BY JOHN M. SMITH
My wife and I recently took a wonderful river cruise on Portugal’s Douro River. “Douro” roughly translates from Portuguese as “River of Gold”, and as the sun sets over it in the evening, you may better grasp why the river has been so named, for the water gleams a golden colour. The Douro River trip, between Porto and Barca d’Alva, is primarily along Portugal’s terraced vineyards, through its renowned wine region, so we passed many quintas (wine estates) that cling to the nearby slopes and, of course, we had an ‘up close and personal look’ - and tasting - at several of these on our daily excursions from the Viking Torgil, our cruise ship. Since we were in and near Porto, port wine was the specialty. However, this marvelous voyage wasn’t just about wine alone, for there was a lot of information about cork, olives, and ceramic tiles, too. We were particularly blown away about all that we learned about cork during this cruise, for we saw many cork trees along
The Viking Torgil, on Portugal’s Douro River. pecially noteworthy ones in the train stations of Porto and Pinhao (where scenes of Portuguese life are depicted in distinctive blue and white tiles). There were even some on our cruise ship! However, to really learn about the history of these tiles, and perhaps even make your own decorative tile to take home with you, I’d recommend a visit to Lisbon’s National Tile Museum. Our trip actually began in Lisbon, Portugal’s capital, and here we stayed at the luxurious Hotel Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa before travelling, by bus, to Portugal’s second largest city, Porto (home to port, the area’s renowned fortified wine). We then boarded our boat and began our actual cruise. We soon docked at the historic town of Regua, and near here we visited the Mateus Palace and Gardens (this palace is actually pictured on the Mateus wine label). Next we arrived at the sleepy little town of Pinhao, where we checked out the aforementioned, spectacular ceramic tiles in its train station, and then we headed, by bus, to the nearby tiny village of Favaois, where we watched bakers making bread in the traditional way.

we just had to try a sample of the bread after it emerged from the aged oven that was heated by wood and old grapevines – and it was still warm and very tasty. Another stop along the river was at Lamego, where a hilltop chapel, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies, may be reached via 686 steps up a grand double staircase. We learned that many pilgrims make the strenuous ascent on their knees! Near the Spanish border, we stopped at Castelo Rodrigo, a medieval fortress town that was so interesting that I plan to write a separate piece about it in the future. While near the border, we also took a day trip into Spain – to visit Salamanca, Spain’s oldest college town (another intriguing destination!). Our river cruise took us to Barca d’Alva, the last Portuguese town on the Douro River, and back to Porto. This provided us with a very enjoyable exploration of this region, and we not only loved our daily shore excursions, but we also had a great time while on board, too.

Drivers don PJs in support of kids with cancer
LifeLabs last week announced its partnership with the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) as lead sponsor of the Pajamas and Pancakes program. To mark the occasion, LifeLabs employees flipped pancakes and shared a pancake breakfast in their LifeLabs pajamas to raise funds and awareness in support of POGO. Proceeds from the event went directly to POGO’s mission to increase access to state-of-the-art cancer care for children and families in Ontario, support education and research initiatives and provide financial support for children and families battling cancer. “POGO - a champion of so many young people and families as they journey through kid’s cancer, needs champions to help meet the challenges and embrace the opportunities of the future. We are thrilled to welcome LifeLabs as our “Proud Partner” to our new program “Pajamas and Pancakes”. LifeLabs’ commitment allows us to sustain our unique mission to provide access to the best available support for every child in Ontario who has met the monster called cancer, and to the families who love and so desperately want to protect those children. Thank you LifeLabs, for joining

with pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer is the 12th leading cause of cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer death in Canada. In 2017, it is expected that 5,500 Canadians will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and about 4,800 will die from the disease. The pancreas is a part of the digestive system and it is a flat, pear-shaped gland that is behind the stomach.

this statistic. We are the largest national charitable funder of pancreatic cancer research in Canada. This year so far, we are committed to funding 15 research projects related to pancreatic cancer, representing an overall commitment of $7.7 million from CCS plus an additional $1.2 million from our generous funding partners. Despite a concentrated effort to develop treatments for pancreatic cancer, it remains among the most aggressive and often untreatable cancers. CCS-funded researcher Dr John Bell from The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute has over a decade of experience developing anti-cancer viruses that can selectively kill cancer cells while leaving normal ones unharmed. Some are showing promise in clinical trials; however, they do not yet work in all patients. Dr Bell is aiming to develop viruses that are more potent and active against pancreatic cancer cells, which could also be used to treat other cancers in the future.
