Mayor Taso Christopher, flanked by fellow members of city council, senior city staff and downtown supporters, cuts a ribbon Monday to celebrate the reopening of Bridge Street, after Phase 3A of the City Centre Revitalization Project was completed. Stephen Petrick/Metroland BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Two and a half phases down, one half phase to go. City officials, members of council, merchants and construction workers gathered on the downtown block of Bridge Street East early Monday
morning to cut a ribbon to celebrate the street’s reopening. Bridge Street East, between Front Street and Pinnacle Street, had been closed since July as the city worked on Phase 3A of the City Centre Revitalization Project. The street now has the same new
paving, street lights and red brick patterns as most of Front Street, which was reconstructed in the two previous years, as part of Phase 1 and Phase 2 work. Next up is Phase 3B of city centre project, expected to break ground in February or March 2018 and contin-

erty was later sold and it is now a private dwelling. Its owners have maintained the tree and plaque. During the recent reconstruction of the Rednersville Road, the tree in front of the school was temporarily fenced to protect it. The story of the original oak tree is well documented in ‘The Saga of the One-Room Schoolhouse,’ a History of Education in Ameliasburg Township 1800 - 1966, by N. Montgomery, D. Rainey and H Tompkins, pages 91 - 94. I was a staff member at the old school from 1986 until it closed and at the new school until 1995. As woodworking is a hobby of mine, I removed a small dead branch from the tree and used the wood in a clock, which I made and presented to a school in England where I was teaching on exchange in 1992 - 93, so some of the Royal Oak made the journey back to England.

Dear Editor, After reading your editorial detailing the Vimy Oaks and your comment about the Royal Oak on North Front Street, I offer the following information. The old Massassaga school south of Rossmore also received one of the acorns from Windsor Park in 1937. That tree is still flourishing. When the Prince Edward County Board of Education decided to close this school building and move its students to the new expanded school building in Rednersville, community members collected money to place a large stone with a plaque under the tree. The students also collected acorns and planted them in large pots. When the new Massassaga-Rednersville School opened in September, 1991, four of these trees were planted in the school yard. The one in front of the school was planted by the first kindergarten class in the new school. There are 2 trees still growing to the west of the school. One did not survive. The old school building and prop-

Loyalist College classes resume after legislation ends faculty strike BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Classes resumed at Loyalist College on Tuesday, after back-to-work legislation passed at Queen’s Park Sunday put an end to a five-week long province-wide college faculty strike. Instructors had Monday to make a plan on how to resume the fall semester. Loyalist College issued a statement that outlined how the missed time will be made up. Fall semester classes will run until Friday, December 22 and resume on Tuesday, Jan. 2 and run up to and including January 19. The winter semester will start on Monday, January 29 and end on Friday, April 27 A study week is planned for March 12 to 16 (to be confirmed). “We will work with our faculty to adjust the curriculum over the course of all programs to ensure that students will achieve all program learning outcomes,” the statement says. It continues to say, “Many students have asked about changes to refund and withdrawal policies as a result of the strike. You may have also heard about the announcement of a fund established to address student financial hardships. Decisions on the policies and the fund are made on a province-wide basis by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development. Final details regarding the relief fund are not yet known, but we expect to learn more in the coming week and will provide that information to you as soon as it is available.” The strike ends after a tumultuous week. An attempt to end the five-week strike was thwarted at Queen’s Park on Nov. 16 when NDP MPPs opted not to immediately support backto-work legislation that was proposed by the Kathleen Wynne Liberal government and had the support of the Opposition PCs. Such legislation required unanimous support for approval Thursday. However, an emergency weekend sitting of the legislature was called so the bill could be passed again, this time needing only Liberal and Conservative support. Heading into the final days frustration was mounting, outside at picket lines and inside college buildings, with virtually everyone agreeing students are caught in the middle of an ugly labour battle. “We would have liked this (the strike) to have been done five weeks ago,” said Eric Bauer, the president of OPSEU 420, which represents Loyalist faculty in an interview on Friday, Nov. 17, when the strike’s end was not yet apparent. “We though we were in the direction where we’d have (a better offer) on Nov. 6 – and again we didn’t. So here, two weeks after
Wallace Rendell, an OPSEU 420 member and striking Loyalist College faculty member, helps remove materials in the white trailer that’s served as a headquarters for striking college faculty members since October. The station was taken down on Nov. 17, as the union senses an end was imminent. Stephen Petrick/Metroland that, once again we’re in this holding pattern.” As he spoke, fellow OPSEU members were removing supplies from a white portable trailer at the entrance of the college that had served as a shelter for picketers for the past five week. They brought out signs, coffee cups and even ketchup and mustard bottles, from the barbecue they held last week, and put them into vehicles. Bauer said the latest offer from the Employment Council, which was rejected by 86 per cent of voters in a union vote that ended Nov. 16, was barely different than previous offers. Yet, 420 local was given the direction from OPSEU to stop picketing on Friday, as the union feels the message it has been trying to spread is fully understood now. There are several reasons why faculty members went on strike, but the biggest reason is the shift of the Employer Council in recent years to hire few full-time instructors, leaving programs to be taught mostly by part-time employees.
There are also issues related to academic decision making. Bauer said the strike was difficult on an emotional level. He said many faculty members bumped into students out in the community over the past five weeks, and those students asked about when the strike might end and why it was taking so long.
A MERRY
But Bauer said union members wanted to ensure that when it ended they would be able to tell students that the college system is better now. “People out here are freezing for a reason,” he said. “ We don’t want to go in there and say, ‘we spent all this time here, and it added up to nothing.’” “We are not out here because of money and not because of benefits, but because in Ontario the quality of education is absolutely essential.” On Friday, there was seemingly little activity taking place inside the college, even though the building was still open to students and staff. Harshil Patel and his cousin Mitul Patel, both international students from India, were sitting in a mostly bare cafeteria. Harshil spoke to the Belleville News about how the strike put his own life in flux. Harshil was aware that there were plans to have the semester go on up until the weekend before Christmas. “My biggest concern is I have a ticket to India on December 17,” he said, explaining he’s flying back for his sister’s wedding. Harshil, a biotechnology student, said if he misses the last week of class he’ll miss three lab assignments that are crucial to his education. Also, his student visa allows him to work while classes are cancelled, but only up to 20 hours a week, so he couldn’t benefit much from the time off. He was hoping for a quick resolution and trying to remain optimistic that this semester isn’t a total loss. “I think the college will make it up,” he said, trying to sound upbeat.

Credit union helps students make sense of dollars Belleville – Quinte First Credit Union partnered with Quinte Secondary School to bring students a full day of financial literacy themed workshops to celebrate Financial Literacy Month in Canada. “Moneypalooza” took place at the Belleville high school on Tuesday, Nov. 14 and gave students an opportunity to learn about real life financial situations from local business people and people working in the financial sector. Among those participating were Joe Smith from Newman, Oliver and McCarten Insurance, Greg Moran from Y Buy Nu Car Dealership and representatives from the Canada Revenue Agency as well as staff from Quinte First Credit Union as participants and presenters.
Quinte First Credit Union has made a strong commitment to improving the financial literacy skills of young people in the Quinte area, and offers free workshops to local schools from Grades 2-12. This year Quinte First has talked to almost 300 students about the importance of creating a budget, managing debt and learning how to take control of their finances. “It’s about empowerment” says Michelle Christmann, Community Relations Officer at Quinte First Credit Union. “It’s about giving back to our community and giving young people the tools they need to make great financial

choices throughout their lives.” Michelle Christmann recently had the honour of meeting with Jane Rooney, Financial Literacy Leader of Canada, and spoke to her about “Moneypalooza” and some of the other financial literacy initiatives Quinte First provides to the area. “It’s important for young people to have the knowledge, skills and confidence so that they can make informed decisions with their money. Financial Literacy workshops for youth are important because it’s never too early to start talking about money. Starting early allows young Canadians to build on their knowledge and shape positive behaviours as they grow.” Jane

OPINION
All quiet on the climate front “Promoting coal at a climate summit is like promoting tobacco at a cancer summit,” said Michael Bloomberg, the former New York mayor, but President Donald J. Trump did exactly that. He sent team of American Gwynne Dyer adiplomats and energy executives to the annual world climate summit, being held this year in Bonn, Germany, to extol the wonders of “clean” coal. Bloomberg, now a UN special envoy for climate change, got it right. The audience at the US presentation heckled and mocked the presenters. Where people who were concerned about global warming once worried about whether the US government would dare to defy the fossil fuel lobby at home, the denialists now control the government – and it turns out not to matter all that much. There are several reasons for that. One is that global coal use has gone into steep decline as the cost of renewable energy has dropped. It’s just not competitive any more, and China and India have cancelled plans for hundreds of new coal-fired power plants this year. Even in the United States, the share of electricity coming from coal fell from 51 percent in 2008 to only 31 percent last year – and US coal companies are going bankrupt. A second reason is that Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement has had zero impact internationally. The fear that other countries would also default on their commitments proved to be unfounded, and the United States is literally the only country on the planet that does not subscribe to the treaty. Indeed, Christiana Figueres, the UN’s chief climate negotiator, actually thanked Trump for his attempt to wreck the Paris deal. “It provoked an unparalleled wave of support for the treaty,” she said. “He shored up the world’s resolve on climate action, and for that we can all be grateful.” Finally, Trump has been outflanked by a new alliance announced in Bonn on Monday that links the fifteen US states committed to strong climate action with the Canadian and Mexican governments in a continent-wide group that concentrates on phasing out coal power and boosting clean power and transport. Much of the US contribution to emissions cuts that Trump reneged on will be covered by these state-level American initiatives.

There are other causes for alarm, of course. There always are. After three years when global carbon dioxide emissions stayed steady, albeit at a very high level, they have started rising again. And there is an unexplained rise in methane emissions in the tropics, not caused by burning fossil fuels, that leads some scientists to suspect that one of the dreaded feedbacks is kicking in. Feedbacks are the spectre at the feast. You can get everything else right, your emissions are going down nicely, and you are on course to stop the warming just before the average global temperature reaches two degrees C higher – and then suddenly, the whole global system goes into overdrive. The warming that human beings have already caused has triggered some other, natural source of warming that we cannot shut off. The consensus among scientists is that the risk of triggering feedbacks rises steeply in the vicinity of 2 degrees C higher average global temperature, which is why the world’s governments have all promised never to exceed that target. But there could be some unknown trigger in the system that would set off runaway warming at a significantly lower average global temperature: the whole process, as they say, is “non-linear”. So we are still living dangerously, and it is still uncertain whether we can ratchet down emissions fast enough to stop the temperature rise in time. But there are big changes in the offing that will make it easier to cut emissions: meat substitutes and lab-grown meat, electric vehicles, and further rapid falls in the price of renewables like solar and wind. There is also now a unity of purpose that was previously absent from the climate talks: the long struggle between the rich and the poor countries over who is to blame for the problem and who pays to fix it is largely over. And although President Xi did not come in person, China is definitely taking the lead. Nobody in Bonn is celebrating the US government’s defection from the fight against climate change, but their panic is long past. The Bonn meeting has concentrated on writing the rules for measuring how countries are complying with the promises they have made on emissions cuts. It also had to figure out how to organise the five-yearly reviews at which the countries are supposed to adopt progressively higher targets for cuts. When the conference closes on Friday, there will be no exciting new announcements of breakthroughs, but we don’t need that. The real breakthrough came in Paris in 2015, and the objective now is to keep the show on the road. So far, so good.

Colleges today? Bill Davis must weep Editorial by Chris Malette Most Ontario colleges were founded between 1965 and 1967, after the passage of then Minister of Education Bill Davis’ Bill-153 on May 21, 1965, to create a post-secondary educational system different from that of universities. The original intent of community colleges, in Davis’ creation, was to offer “career-oriented, post-secondary education and training to assist individuals in finding and keeping employment...” and the original concept was to do so using staff with solid experience in their fields, with assistance in transitioning to an academic setting, to teach first-hand knowledge to those going out into the field. Today? Not so much, as the college system has now been supplanted with something that resembles university-lite, in which “professors,” if they are to be offered one of the scarce full-time positions, must hold a master’s degree in their field – never mind the fact they may have only worked a year or two in that chosen field. Such is the university-envy of the current system, now light years away from what Davis had intended, that it has become a bloated, massively expensive concept to maintain because of the salaries promised to uber-educated, but, in too many cases, under-qualified-in-careerexperienced ‘profs.’ The solution, then, for the colleges? Hire hourly-paid part-timers with more experience in their fields, but do so in numbers that make them the norm in the classroom. Students, who are often lured with the impression of full-time, highly-qualified instructors, only arrive to find they have as a teacher someone who’s doing the gig part-time with a massive workload of prep and marking to make those teachers’ stipends almost a wash or even a loss as to what they can be earning back in their real, fulltime jobs. It is, then, the students who got hooped in the whole current labour strife. The government forced the strike to end, the union insisted this could have been wrapped up shortly after it began, had, of course, the government and the ministry caved on some union demands. No one ‘won’ this messy battle. “We would have liked this (the strike) to have been done five weeks ago,” said Eric Bauer, the president of OPSEU 420, which represents Loyalist. There are several reasons why faculty members went on strike, but the chief among them was the shift of the Employer Council in recent years to hire few full-time instructors, leaving programs to be taught mostly by part-time em-

ployees. There are also issues related to academic decision making. Bauer said the strike was difficult on an emotional level. He said many faculty members bumped into students out in the community over the past five weeks and those students asked about when the strike might end and why it was taking so long? Bauer said union members wanted to ensure that when it ended they would be able to tell students that the college system is better now. “People out here (were) freezing for a reason,” he said. “We don’t want to go in there and say, ‘We spent all this time here, and it added up to nothing.’” With all respect, Mr. Bauer, it did add up to nothing and the students suffered as a result. It was reported Monday that students who quit college because of the five-week strike can get full tuition refunds, while those who are staying can apply for up to $500 in financial aid, said Deb Matthews, Minister for Advanced Education. So, it appears everyone from the colleges themselves to the ministry are bowing and scraping to try and make things up to students. Word from the teachers? Not much, other than the previous comments chastising the other side for not budging in negotiations. Loyalist College issued a statement that outlined how the missed time will be made up. Fall semester classes will run until Friday, December 22 and resume on Tuesday, Jan. 2 and run up to and including January 19. The winter semester will start on Monday, January 29 and end on Friday, April 27. A study week is planned for March 12 to 16 (to be confirmed). Watch that last date. Would not be surprised to see that week sacrificed in the name of cramming in the school year. Students returned to class Tuesday and will see their semesters extended to Dec. 22, just three days before Christmas. As in the case of many, they may stick to their travel plans – many booked weeks and even months in advance of the strike – and possibly harm their course performance in so doing. No one – not one side, from teachers, their unions, the ministry or the provincial government – covered themselves in glory in this strike debacle. As always, it was the students who placed their trust and committed themselves to enrolling this fall who were burned. And we wonder why and how they become cynical and disillusioned?

This magic bus in Belleville is free to ride, free of emissions BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Get on the bus – the battery-electric transit bus that is. Belleville Transit will have an extra bus on its fleet from now until just after Christmas. The battery-electric bus, or ebus, will operate until Dec. 29, and will look a little different than the traditional red and white city buses. The ebus is mostly white and black and contains the slogan “the official sponsor of Mother Nature.” It will alternate around different routes at different times, to allow as many people as possible to give it a try. Best of all, passengers riding on this bus will not be charged fare. Instead, they’ll be provided a customer comment card and asked to complete it and leave it with the driver or in a drop box at the terminal. A city statement to announce the new bus said Belleville Transit is taking the opportunity to “operate the 100 per cent electric, zero emissions bus for an extended period to determine its ‘fit’ to our system.” “It is also an opportunity to compare the operating cost of the 100 per cent, electric, zero emissions bus to our conventional diesel powered bus. “Electric buses have fewer moving parts and use no fuel. It takes approximately two hours to fully charge the electric bus for 300 km of travel. This
could be a considerable savings of the transit operating budget.” Participating in the pilot project, also fulfills the city’s commitment to the Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan, which intends to address greenhouse gas reduction policies “Zero-emission battery-electric propulsion transit buses have the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas and smog-causing air contaminant emissions. The use of electric propulsion buses is expected to translate to an estimated reduction of 160 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, per bus, per year,” the city says. The new program is exciting to Belleville officials, such as Coun. Jack Miller who announced the bus at the Monday, Nov. 14 council meeting.” “The future is now,” said Miller, who also chairs the city’s transit advisory committee. “Belleville Transit is committed to progressive, environmentally friendly transit operations. Battery-electric transit buses will help us achieve that goal in years to come.” The city does not own the bus; it’s being loaned by a private company called BYD (Build Your Dreams). It’s a slightly different model than another emissions-free bus that was tested by the city for about a week last year. This bus, Miller said, has more battery power, so it does not need to be taken off the road as frequently for
This white bus will be seen in the city up to Dec. 29. It’s an ebus and there will be no charge for Belleville Transit riders to board it. Submitted photo
the purpose of powering up. Miller also said the bus will surely save the city on fuel expenses, but it’s unknown yet how much of an impact it could have on capital budgets; that’s why the city wants to test it out for several weeks before making any decisions on rolling out ebuses permanently.
Paul Buck, Belleville’s manager of transit operations, said following the test period, he’ll write a report to council that will address the public feedback received on the bus and what its costs are. He said ebuses are more expensive to purchase than traditional dieselpowered buses, but there’s belief that
over the long term they’re more costeffective, as a result of not having to purchasing fuel. They’re also believed to be less expensive to maintain. He said if the results are favourable, it’s likely he’ll recommend the purchasing new ebuses gradually, as older diesel-buses are retired form service. The direction to move towards ebuses might one day be mandated by senior governments, he added. “It’s not unrealistic to expect we will be legislated to have zero-emissions vehicles for transit in the future,” he said. In could take about two years for Belleville to have its first permanent ebus on the road, but Buck believes that in about 20 years public transit diesel-buses will be a thing of the past. That’s not just because zero-emissions buses and economical and better for the environment; they’re also a pleasure to ride on Buck said. “It’s much quieter to ride on; it’s spacious, easily accessible,” he said. He added that it’s quieter and smoothing because “there’s no transmission, there’s no shifting.” So far Buck and his staff are hearing good things. “We’ve made a point of asking passengers ‘what do you think?’ Everything we’re getting back is positive; they like the smoothness of the ride.”

Council supports plans to improve parking options BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – A large downtown parking facility and other changes to better serve drivers could soon be in the works, after Belleville city council approved recommendations made by a downtown parking committee. At the Monday, Nov. 14 meeting, council approved “in principal” nine recommendations outlined by the committee. The committee was formed, on the recommendation of Coun. Egerton Boyce, last spring to address several parking-related concerns that municipal leaders have heard about for years, but have rarely been adequately addressed. The ninth recommendation was “that a parking facility be developed in the downtown core and the need for an addition facility in the future be considered.” The other recommendations were: - that there be no change to the current parking rates. - that one-hour free parking on Front Street be continued. - that the Panter lot (off Coleman Street) be closed and the area be converted to green space. - that two parking spaces be designated for customers with small children near the nurse practitioner office. - that a downtown residential overnight parking permit policy be developed. - that closing a portion of the Riverside parking lot be considered when a parking

Coun. Egerton Boyce at the Nov. 14 council meeting. Stephen Petrick/Metroland facility is constructed. - that consistent designs for parking signs be developed and the linkage between parking lots and downtown commercial/residential areas be improved. - And that available options be investigated on parking software (such as pay by phone or permit management automated ticketing devices.) The recommendations were supported in what appeared to be a unanimous vote, after a lengthy discussion. That means that some recommendations will come into fruition in the coming days. A report that accompanied the recom-
mendations said some “can be implemented within a relatively short timeline with minimal impact on the budget, while others will require a substantial financial commitment and may take a few years to be realized.” The city will need time to fulfil the recommendation on the large parking facility. The report also said “separate reports will be submitted at a later date to allow for additional information to be provided, including possible funding sources.” Council’s vote of support also allows the subcommittee to continue meeting to discuss issues for the remainder of the council term. During the discussion Boyce said “a parking facility is something we’ve talked about since 2003 … it’s long overdue. I think there’s a strong commitment to include at least one parking facility downtown sooner than later.” Other councillors’ comments foreshadowed a complex debate ahead on how the city can build a proper facility. Coun. Jack Miller reminded councillors that new downtown development is changing the area and a parking facility should be included as part of a broader overall vision for the area. Coun. Mitch Panciuk expressed worry over the costs of the facility. He said the city’s reserve fund for parking issues is nearly empty. “I won’t support a downtown parking lot if it’s going to be supported by Belleville taxpayers,” he said.

Downtown businesses supporting Salvation Army kettle campaign BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – The Belleville Salvation Army has launched its annual Christmas kettle campaign with a downtown theme. Supporters can help the army reach its goal this year of $175,000 by donating cash at kettles set up at major retail stores across the city. But, new this year, several downtown Belleville businesses will also be soliciting donations for the Salvation Army. “There hasn’t been a kettle at a downtown store in decades,” said Deb Scott, the Salvation Army’s volunteer co-ordinator, expressing gratefulness that a new era has begun. The campaign launch took place at the Belleville Downtown Improvement Association’s Front Street office on Wednesday, Nov. 15. There, BDIA and Salvation Army officials applauded downtown businesses for getting involved. Donations can be made at All
Good Things, Kate’s Kitchen, Up Front Gallery, Reiki on Wheels, Funk & Gruven, Fit Body Boot Camp, That Special Touch, Barrat’s Office Pro, Roluf’s, Chumleighs, the Belleville nurse-led practitioner clinic, Galley 121 and GLI Promotions. Non-retail downtown businesses are also getting into the spirit. Monica Rodrigues of Kafka, Kort Barristers dropped a $250 donation into the kettle on behalf of the firm at the launch event and encouraged other law firms to do the same. E-Kort Realty also donated $250 and is urging other real estate firms to do the same, officials said. The campaign continues until 6 p.m. on Dec. 23. Proceeds raised stay in the community to support Belleville Salvation Army programs. Last year, the Salvation Army fed 31,000 meals through its lunch and supper programs, pointed out Coun. Garnet Thompson, who attended the launch event representing the city. He reminded that the Salvation
Army doesn’t just feed the hungry. It also provides clothing for those in need and emergency assistance for people in distress. “We always wish we didn’t have to do this,” he said. “But the reality it, we need it in our community.” BDIA office manger Hazel Lloyst described the new partnership as a “win-win.” A program is now being worked out to provide Salvation Army kettle volunteers with gifts from downtown merchants. The campaign typically requires about 300 volunteers, so that means there will be potentially be hundreds of new shoppers to downtown locations this Christmas. Salvation Army Family and Community Services Director Abby Mills said this year’s goal of $175,000 is ambitious, but achievable. “It’s a huge undertaking, but our community has come through for us every year and we hope it will come through for us again,” she said.

... but don’t donate with credit card over phone Belleville – If you wish to donate to the Salvation Army kettle campaign, do it through cash at one of the kettles throughout the community or by responding to a letter that has arrived in your mailbox. But don’t respond to solicitations over the phone. The Belleville Salvation Army is concerned about a scam in which people are being asked to make credit card donations to the campaign over the phone. “One of our volunteers contacted us ... to let us know that she had received a phone call from someone who said he was calling on behalf of The Salvation Army and soliciting a donation by credit card. I want all of our friends and followers to be advised that there is currently NO telephone campaign being conducted on behalf of The Salvation Army,” said Abby Mills, the Salvation Army Family and
Community Services director. “There are two ways that we here at 295 Pinnacle Street reach out to you requesting financial support. One is our annual Christmas Kettle campaign, which launched (Nov. 15) and will see our kettles and our volunteers in retail locations across the city. “The second is our annual Christmas letter, which will arrive in local mailboxes. If anyone contacts you by phone and says that they are raising funds for The Salvation Army please hang up.” Mills said she has reported the incident to Belleville police.

The board’s vote of support means the capital report will be sent to the city’s finance department and then be shown to city council, which will have the ultimate say, when capital budget deliberations take place, Nov. 28 and 29. (Operations budget deliberations will then likely take place in the spring.) “I am happy to announce that this year’s capital budget is set to be 14.8 per cent lower than last year’s capital requests,
which will manifest into a lower overall combined budget figure for the 2018 Police Budget when tallied in April of 2018,” Gignac wrote in a report to the board.

The force already has one vehicle with this system and it helps with the tracking of wanted suspects and those with driving-related offences. If casino money alleviates some costs, the reduction in capital budget spending from 2018 to 2017, could actually be 27.5 per cent, Gignac said. Board members told Gignac that that decision would ultimately rest with council, but they seemed respectful to the idea. “Good discussion,” Christopher said. “We could reach a savings of 27 per cent – that’s huge.” Council previously voted to put casino revenue into seven different reserve funds, the largest being for infrastructure. But Christopher clarified to the Belleville News that Gignac’s request is achievable. One of the smaller reserve funds is for replacing city vehicles – and money is now going into these reserve funds steadily.

The Belleville Senators era begins
A
fter seven home games in a span of fifteen days, the Belleville Senators have officially announced themselves to the Bay of Quinte region. “The response from our community has been spectacular,” said Rob Mullowney, Chief Operating Officer of the Belleville Senators. “We have one of the strongest season ticket bases in the entire league and sold our
opening game out weeks before the start of the season. This community was hungry for the return of hockey and have embraced our team from the start. We are very thankful for that.” This marks a new era in what is a longstanding history of hockey in the area and fans are flocking to the team to show their support. “Our merchandise is roaring – it seems like no matter where you go in the
area someone is wearing a Belleville Senators hat, t-shirt or sweater,” said Mullowney. “We have had more than 2,500,000 impressions on social media and over 200,000
webpage views in the past 30 days. This support is crucial to our success and we will work very hard to provide fans with a product that continues to compel them.” “Beyond that, we will find ways to say thank you as often as possible.” On November 10th, the team announced the start of 50/50 Raffle Draws at home games in cooperation with the Ottawa Senators
Foundation. In their first three games, $13,147 was raised for the community. “When we arrived in the region, we promised that we would make an impact off the ice as well. Our 50/50 Raffle with the Ottawa Senators Foundation is an excellent example of this. We are very excited to start making good on our promise.” This weekend, the team will also offer fans the opportunity to take $3 off of single game ticket prices for all home games in the month of December. “We could not have done any of this without our fans. Consider this a thank you from our team to them.” For more information on the Belleville Senators, including details around this offer, visit www.

Jr. Titans topple CCI for COSSA gold Belleville – The St. Theresa Titans put a an exclamation mark on their perfect junior girls basketball season with a 39-24 win over Cobourg Collegiate in the AAA COSSA final held Thursday Nov 16. St. Theresa jumped out to 17-3 first quarter lead thanks to some stingy full court pressure that kept Cobourg off balance. The Kawartha region champs battled back in the third quarter, cutting the lead to single digits after it appeared the Titans were going to run away with it. Thanks to some clutch shooting in the fourth quarter, St. Theresa was able to push the
lead back for the 15 point win. Coach Tom Callahan credits the team success in the final to a balanced scoring attack, getting nine points from Ainsley Terpstra, 7 each from Kaila Hinch, Melina McLellan, MacKenzie Prevost and six from Halie Turner. In the semi final, St. Theresa had an easy time with St. Peters from Peterborough cruising to a 53-27 victory. Turner led the way with 18 points, McLellan and Prevost each with nine, Terpstra and Olivia Onuah with seven and six respectively. St. Theresa finished the season with a perfect 14-0 record in league play and 20-1 overall.
Belleville – Now that the Belleville Senators have been around for nearly two months, local hockey fans are starting to learn about the Jekyll-and-Hyde nature of American Hockey League teams. For instance, the Belleville Senators looked great in a 6-2 victory Wednesday, Nov. 15 against a good team from Lehigh Valley. But they followed that up with a dismal 7-1 loss to the sub-.500 Utica Comets on the road two nights later. That’s how it goes some weeks in the AHL, where rosters change on an almost daily basis to fill the needs of parent clubs. For instance, the Sens had their monstrous defenceman Ben Harpur in the lineup against Lehigh Valley. The six-foot-six, 220 pounder scored a goal and assist and was named the second star of the game. They also had six-footfour winger Nick Paul in the lineup that night. But Harpur and Paul were recalled to Ottawa, ahead of the Utica game; which surely added to the challenges facing coach Kurt Kleinendorst. The team was already without Max Lajoie, Tyler Randell, Mike Blunden, Kyle Flanagan and Ben Sexton due to injuries. Andrew Hammond, who has emerged as the team’s No. 1 goaltender, did not travel with the team to Utica on Friday, either. Hammond’s NHL rights are now owed by the Colorado Avalanche, who are likely looking to trade him to an NHL team with sudden goaltending needs. The wounded Senators squad continued their road trip in North Carolina on Tuesday and Wednesday, with games against the Charlotte Checkers. Both games were played after press time. Their road trip continues this weekend in Toronto, with games against the Toronto Marlies, at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 25 and 4 p.m. Nov. 26. They return home to play the Laval Rocket on Wednesday, Nov. 29. Puck drop at the Yardmen
Kurt Kleinendorst speaks to players during a recent game. Stephen Petrick/Metroland Arena is 7 p.m. Against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, Harpur and Jack Rodewald scored in the first to give the Sens an early 2-0 lead. Gabriel Gagne then scored just 44 seconds into the second to make it 3-0. After two Phantom goals cut the lead to 3-2, the Sens pulled away in the third, with another goal by Gagne and goals by Jim O’Brien and Colin White. Hammond stopped 44 of 46 shots to earn the win and improve his record to 5-2-1. The attendance was listed at 3,101 fans. Against Utica, the game was scoreless after one period, but Utica exploded for four goals in the second period and three more in the third. The lone Belleville goal was scored by Gagne. Danny Taylor took the loss in goal, stopping 27 of 34 shots. Former Belleville Bulls defenceman Jordan Subban had three assists in the game for Utica and was named the game’s second star. Heading into the Charlotte games, the Senators had a record of 8-8-0-1.

The life of the local hockey legend who died on Saturday, Nov. 11, was celebrated at a funeral on Wednesday, Nov. 15 at St. Michael the Archangel church. On the way to the church, a procession of vehicles, including the hearse carrying Mr. Crawford’s remains, stopped at the entrance of the Memorial Arena just after 10 a.m. The vehicles remained there for about a minute, as onlookers stood at attention, saluted or put hands by their hearts. The arena was the scene of some of Mr. Crawford’s most memorable accomplishments. He starred for the Belleville McFarlands Senior A hockey team which played there in the 1950s. In 1958, the team won the Allan Cup, the Canadian championship trophy. In 1959, the team travelled to Prague, Czechoslovakia to represent Canada at the world championships and ended up winning gold, with
Crawford as the team captain. Although those accomplishments are nearly 60 years in the past, it remains celebrated in Belleville’s proud hockey community. A group of fans, many youngsters wearing Belleville Bulls minor hockey jerseys, held a large Canadian flag outside the arena for the Crawford family to see. A group of former Memorial Arena workers also stood outside the entrance, along with city officials such as Mayor Taso Christopher, city recreation director Mark Fluhrer and Belleville fire Chief Mark MacDonald. Among the fans paying their respects was Hoyt Botly, the son of one of Crawford’s world championship teammates, Lionel Botly. Botly was wearing a team Canada hockey sweater, with a patch that had the same blue maple leaf logo worn by McFarland players at the worlds. “I think over time, less people remember the good ol’ days,” he said. “It (the turnout) shows the Crawford family and the McFarlands group that we haven’t forgotten.”

Hells Angel Leclair sold coke, gun on his own, lawyer insists BY CHRIS MALETTE
He may have been a Hells Angel, but Yvan Leclair was on his own when selling cocaine and guns to undercover cops, insisted the Shannonville man’s lawyer when he made a plea deal to drug and gun charges. Leclair, 49, recently pleaded guilty in Belleville court to selling an ounce of cocaine to one undercover officer and a modified semi-automatic rifle to another agent between September, 2016, and January, 2017. He was given two years in prison on top of pre-trial custody served since being jailed in February. He was among those rounded up in a sweeping bust to control drugs and weapons being smuggled and sold along the Highway 401 corridor and US border region in February, dubbed Operation Silkstone. Leclair, who lived on land he owned along Lazier Road in Shannonville (his Leclair Logging is highly visible from Highway 401 near Shannonville Road) agreed to forfeit land, “the firearm seized, ammunition, drugs (cocaine) drug paraphernalia and several pieces of clothing,” said Crown attorney Pardeep Bhachu. The weapon in question was a Russian-made SKS semiautomatic on which police charged Leclair had included a modified, illegal magazine capable of holding several

rounds more than the original factory version. Some versions of modified clips for the SKS are capable of firing 20 to 30 rounds in rapid succession. Leclair, who had only previously been released from pris-
on on previous drug charges prior to being arrested in the Silkstone raids, was described by police in February as a fullpatch member of Hells Angels, However, Leclair’s defence lawyer, Ed Kafka, insisted on having it made clear in court
record on Leclair’s plea and conviction that “none of the activities were at the direction of the Hells Angels,” said Bhachu. He had been originally charged with a slew of crimes, but most were withdrawn, said
the Crown, for being duplications of original offences. He was also convicted for having breached a lifetime weapons ban imposed on his previous criminal convictions. Leclair’s plea and conviction was the fourth of six local individuals charged in Silkstone, which included 18 individuals across Ontario, into Quebec and even Connecticut. Project Silkstone — which spanned 18 months of undercover and intelligence investigation - involved OPP, the RCMP, Quebec provincial police, Montreal police, the Canada Border Services Agency and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. Hundreds of officers participated in the investigation, which culminated in 22 simultaneous raids across the province and parts of Quebec, police said. Over the course of the probe, OPP said in statements at the time that investigators seized 11,500 pills containing fentanyl, eight kilograms of cocaine and 7.5 kilograms of ecstasy, among other drugs and drug equipment. Police also seized 23 firearms, including pistols and long guns, as well as Canadian and U.S. currency and $50,000 worth of casino chips as part of the investigation. The remainder of those charged are still working their way through the courts – all of which cases are being heard in Belleville courts.

Air Force Museum concert was a stirring success BY JACK EVANS
Quinte West - With 500 chairs set up, the Quinte Symphony’s third annual Tribute to the Brave Concert Sunday in the National Air Force Museum of Canada drew a capacity crowd. From the opening “O Canada,� performed powerfully by the recently formed Trenton area Military Wives Choir, to the closing finale of “Amazing Grace� with all participants involved – the orchestra, 8 Wing Concert Band, 8 Wing Pipes and Drums and the choir, the audience was held almost spellbound. One of the highlights by the orchestra was the popular Sibelius “Finlandia,� a patriotic—inspired work by the Finnish composer. The symphony’s recently acquired new tympani thundered out in a polished performance. Inspiring also was the stirring Triumphant March from the opera “Aida� by Verdi, after which the concert band joined the orchestra for a spirited performance of the popular march, “Colonel Bogey.� Then the concert band went on its own for “Over the Rainbow� with songstress Anita Halfpenny, and a big band medley called “In a Miller Mood.� This included “Moonlight

Serenade,� “I’ve Got a Gal in Kalamazoo,� “Little Brown Jug,� and “At Last,� all audience pleasers. The orchestrally colourful and perennially popular “English Folk Song Suite,�
with the band and orchestra joining forces, also made a stirring impression on the huge audience, before a brief salute to the Remembrance season with playing of “The Last Post,� “Reveille,� and a lament,
which brought intermission. The second half opened with the pipe band showing its stuff in a set that included “Journey to Skye,�and “Farewell to Nigg,� followed by a selection of First World War hits like “Keep the Home Fires Burning� and “Long Way to Tipperary,� marching off to “ When the Battle’s Over.� A contemporary work by Kingstonbased composer John W. N. Palmer,� was another chance for the symphony to show off. Called “A Celtic Fantasy,� in three movements, it showed that Canadian composers can be competitively creative and still please audiences. This annual concert would not be complete in its air base surroundings without the beloved RCAF March, performed in style by the orchestra and 8 Wing Concert Band combined. Quinte Symphony conductor Dan Tremblay and 8 Wing Band master WO Martin Labbe shared conducting duties during the concert. The symphony’s next concert is “Christmas Traditions Old and New�on Sunday, Dec. 10 at 2:30 p.m. in Centennial Secondary School.

Its official, winter is on its way. Most of us have seen snow already and there is a decided chill in the air. Even though it may seem easier to stay indoors, NOW is the last chance for you to get a few things done to set you on the path to a great spring in your outdoor spaces. When it comes to getting the outside ready for winter, here is my personal list of things I make sure that I get done at this time of the year 1. Wrap those evND ergreens! I received so many emails from fans and readers last spring about their cedars and boxwoods having brown sections. There are several things that cause this, but there is one solution that deals with a lot of the issues. Get out the burlap or anti-des-

iccant spray and cover your evergreens. Plants like boxwoods, yews and cedars stay green all year (hence the name ‘evergreens’). These plants retain their chlorophyll in their leaves and needles. It’s this chlorophyll that works in producing energy and food for the plant. This process of photosynthesis also requires light and water. When we get bright sunny days in the winter and early spring, the plants start to make energy. Unfortunately, the ground is still frozen, preventing the roots from getting any water to the plant. This is what causes the brown sections…they are simply drying out. The burlap wrap slows down this process, allowing the tree to naturally keep up with the water supply 2. Prune woody shrubs and trees now. Pruning at this time of the year, once the leaves have fallen, has been shown to be less stressful on the plant. The changing of leaf-colour signifies the movement of sap from the branches of the plant into the roots. The sap is what feeds the tree and helps promote growth. When the plants are dormant, they store all of their sap reserves in their roots. Come spring, these extra reserves promote lots of healthy new growth and significantly more blooms! 3. Empty out all of your outdoor planters. I had more split pots last winter then I’ve ever had before. A cold winter is hard on your planters; whether they are clay, plastic or even wood. The soil inside the pots is the problem. This soil retains moisture. As it freezes and thaws, this soil expands and contracts splitting even the strongest containers. Instead of soil, fill your planters with mulch so that you can still create beautiful holiday arrangements at the front door. Then you can put the mulch in the garden come thaw. 4. Clean out the garage! Now this doesn’t feel like it would be a gardening job, but cleaning out the garage at this time of year is definitely a priority in my house. Not just because I want to fit my car back into it, clearing the garage when the weather is warm enough to have the door open makes life so much easier for the gardeners like me who save pots, hoses, tools and all kinds of awkward items in the garage for when I might need to use them. Start by getting everything off the ground! Being able to see the entire floor makes a room more spacious. Utilize racks and wall mounting systems to get awkward items like wheelbarrows, garden rakes and shovels up and out of the way. These few jobs that you can actually get done this week will help you get on track for the spring ahead even if it seems so far away at this point!
Westben celebrates 'Upper Canada Christmas' pioneer-style BY SUE DICKENS
Campbellford — A new Westben production that takes listeners into the lives of Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill will be providing a snap shot of these two British, pioneer Canadian sisters’ lives as they settle in the wilds of Upper Canada near Lakefield in the 1830s. Westben’s Upper Canada Christmas will be performed on Nov. 25 and 26 at the Barn, Dec. 2 at Norwood United Church and Dec. 3 at Northminster Church in Peterborough. “Susanna and Catharine, already celebrated authors in England, left us works that give honest perspectives of what life must have been like in this area in the early to mid 1800s,” states Westben’s marketing director, Donna Bennett. “Upper Canada Christmas is a heartwarming narrated concert celebrating a Canadian Christmas pioneer-style, fit for the whole family featuring the
80 voices of the Westben choirs,” she added. Although Catharine Parr Traill and Susanna Moodie shared many of the same experiences, their writings are incredibly different, Bennett noted. “Catharine’s writing is more lyrical in perspective and Susanna’s aiming for a more realistic, unromanticized expression of their experiences.” “Their lives were difficult, courageous and fascinating.” Westben's artistic director, Brian Finley, said he “loves the fact that these stories of Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill happened within kilometres of where we are living now and it is so interesting to think about the contrast where we are now where they were then, their struggle of coming to a new place and keeping alive their traditions." The Westben Festival Chorus gathered for a rehearsal for Upper Canada Christmas . Tickets and information available at www.westPhoto submitted ben.ca .

Thomas and Ogwari Brant, cousins from a tight-knit family, sourced out a game changing product and Trenval was on-board to commit the dollars needed to put their plan into motion.

Its this drive for excellence that underscores everything they do.

Buy a scarf and wrap yourself in courage Belleville – A purple scarf purchased from a Three Oaks fundraiser this month won’t just keep you warm. It will allow you to wrap yourself in courage – and help raise awareness for domestic violence. Since 1983 Three Oaks has been providing safe, emergency shelter to Quinte-area women and their children who are fleeing violence. It is every woman’s fundamental right to live in safety and security in her home and community—free from the threat to violence. Three Oaks provided bed space within the emergency shelter to 156 women and 64 children in the last fiscal year. This past year the various programs that consist of the outreach service program have been busy offering services to over 351 women and 107 children within our community. November is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This year, in addition to the purple scarf campaign, Three Oaks is promoting a Male Allies campaign. Domestic Violence is not just a woman’s issue or an issue that pertains to the victim. Men can be allies in the movement to end domestic violence. Throughout
November Three Oaks staff members will be out in our community recognizing influential men who can put a voice to violence against women. Anyone who would like more information about Three Oaks, how to purchase a scarf, or how to donate is encouraged to contact Kristin Farrell, Training and Education Coordinator at 613-962-1234 ext 307or at publiceducation@bellnet.ca Also, Three Oaks, in partnership with the Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Houses, is calling on all Ontarians to purchase a purple scarf during November, as Woman Abuse Prevention Month is recognized. The effort is part of the fifth-annual Wrapped in Courage campaign. Women shelters and community organizations across the province are engaging with their communities to address the overlooked issue of woman abuse in Ontario. Throughout the month of November, people are asked to show their support by wearing a enough. It takes the commitment and support of an Three Oaks staff members (from left) Amy purple scarf to let women and their children know they entire community to end violence against all women. Rose, Kristin Farrell and Jenn Loner show are not alone. The courage of a woman alone is not

Rebel production storms the Old Church Theatre Quinte West - The Old Church Theatre in Quite West is presenting the one man play “Rebel of Hungerford” this Friday November 24th. Playwright Mark Lesage of Tweed has made a dramatic retelling of one of the events of our fledgling nation’s 1837 Rebellion involving his greatgreat grandfather Pierre Lesage. Pierre’s adventure culminates in his arrest for treason and his acquittal with the help of a young lawyer, John A. MacDonald. “Be forewarned,” said promoters of the play, “this is not an objective historical narration. Pierre will recount his experiences complete with all the sectarian and political prejudices of the age.” Doors open at 7 p.m. and the performance begins at 7:30. Admission $15 in advance $20 at the door.

Ambulance service shaves urban response times BY JACK EVANS
In spite of a sharp increase in call volumes, the report for Hastings County’s Emergency Services Committee last week for the first nine months of the year shows a decrease in response times in almost all cases. The call volume rose from 24,269 calls for the first nine months of last year to 25,901 this year. The service delivered the following response times with last year’s comparable figure in brackets: Bancroft 4.39 minutes (5.07); North zone excluding Bancroft, 16.28 minutes (16.47) central zone , 13.44 minutes (13.53); south zone401 corridor, 7.14 minutes (7.06) Hastings County total average , 8.04 minutes (9.31.) Mayor Tom Deline asked why Central Hastings is seeing little to no improvement in response times, however. He was told the increase in calls is particularly telling in
that region owing to a lack of ambulances and crews and that it is expected to be addressed in 2018 with the addition of new vehicles. Prince Edward County response time was 8.04 minutes compared to 9.31 for last year. The committee also approved a recommendation to county council for the purchase of six new ambulances as regular replacements for aging vehicles, five for Hastings County and one for Prince Edward, which the Hastings service covers under contract. Total cost is $670,249, which is already included in this year’s budget. Meanwhile, the county has received a letter from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care increasing its allocation for land ambulance services to First Nations communities by up to $285,706. That increase brings total provincial support for the county service up to $7,680,229.
Housing shift will add 14 households tion, the centre was celebrating the paying off of its mortgage last week. Under ministry guidelines, the ministry funding must be directed to another operating component. The committee has recommended its rent supplement and housing allowance programs. These programs provide assistance in the form of $354 per month to 90 households across the county. Community and Human Services staff commented that these programs have been “highly successful in supporting households on the social housing waitlist with high accommodation costs.” They also calculated that they could add 14 more households to the program through to 2024. The committee also passed a recommendation to offer a contract to Bridge Street United Church to manage the required homelessness enumeration for participation in new provincial assistance programs for homelessness. Funding is also covered by the provincial program.
BY JACK EVANS
Hastings County will submit a revised program delivery and fiscal plan to the Ministry of Housing for rent supplement funding under the housing allowance direct delivery program. A recommendation to council for that passed at the Community and Human Services Committee last week. The move follows expiration of an agreement of 10 years standing with Belleville’s Quinte Living Centre. The QLC has been part of the county’s housing and homelessness plan, providing 30 units. The centre has notified the county that it doesn’t want to renew its participation despite a sharp increase in funding from $67,776 to $127,080 per year for a 64-month term. A letter from the QLC states its goal is to phase out subsidized units toward market renters and not be dependent on any government funding. Meanwhile, after 35 years of opera-
Housing seminar draws Hastings County interest BY JACK EVANS
Trenton – The focus was on the homeless and low-income people in terms of housing for a special gathering at the Trenton Legion Hall last Thursday.
More than 100 people attended the event, including a large delegation from Hastings County, including staff, elected members and Warden Rodney Cooney. Special guests were officials from Central Mortgage and Housing and provincial officials involved in public housing programs. Cooney summed up: “There was a lot of interesting information presented and discussed during a full morning.” He said he was particularly interested in one presentation from Taylor Collicott of the Northumberland County HomeShare program, one of several such agencies now spreading across Ontario. The not-for-profit enterprise seeks to assist young women, single or with families who are having problems finding safe and affordable shelter by matching them with senior
women who are living alone and have accommodation to spare. “HomeShare is about creating a mutually beneficial relationship between two people who want to help each other,” Collicott explained to the gathering. Host people are expected to be women aged 55 or over. Young women are expected to share in shelter costs and household costs and chores. The program helps screen all parties involved for mutual protection. Cooney said he found the concept quite interesting and hinted that Hastings county officials will probably be looking into it for the future. Provincial officials also reviewed their “Home for Good” shelter build program which Hastings is already active in, said Cooney, plus other homeless and affordable housing programs. Collicott said the concept for Northumberland County originated with a public health nurse who was a member of the county’s housing committee. That committee applied for a grant from the county for a two-year pilot project which was approved. Now, she said, with only a few months into its first year, they got 60 applications for both women needing shelter and women prepared to share it. She described it as “a good mix.” Of those, 20 are in serious negotiations for an arrangement and six have already been assigned.
Radon is the leading cause of
lung cancer in non-smokers What is radon? Radon is a colourless, odourless and tasteless radioactive gas found naturally in the environment. Radon is released into the air during the natural breakdown of uranium in rocks and soil. Once it is released, radon breaks down into radioactive elements that can attach to dust and other substances in the air we breathe. An estimated 3300 lung cancer deaths in Canada are related to radon each year. Radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. If you smoke, you are at an even higher risk of developing lung cancer if you are exposed to radon. Exposure to radon: You can be exposed to radon through; • Indoor air
o The indoor air can have high levels of radon when it seeps in and builds up in poorly ventilated and enclosed spaces from the soil and rocks around your home • Workplace exposure o Underground workers, such as subway or tunnel workers, may be at high risk of radon exposure The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) recommends that Canadians test their homes for radon and take action to reduce high levels. The age of your home is not a good indicator of how high indoor radon levels could be – the only way to know how much radon is in your home is to test. You can test your home for radon. Visit cancer.ca/prevention or call 1-888-939-3333 for more information on where to find radon test kits.

Church theatre group presents classic yule show BY JACK EVANS
Westminster United Church Players present a warm, fuzzy start to the holiday season starting this Friday. It is a live stage production of the classic Christmas season motion picture: “It’s a Wonderful Life.” The perennial story about a man who seeks suicide as a way out of financial disaster for his family at the start of the Great Depression, a Scrooge-like land baron and a guardian angel comes to life thanks to a ast dripping with talent and directed by long-time theatre guild participant Pat Gray. Opening Friday, Nov. 24 , and running Saturday, Nov. 25 at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 26 at 2 p.m., then Saturday, Dec.2 at 7:30 and a closing matinee at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 3. The cast spans all ages and draws talent from across the community, not just the church, including four child actors to seniors.
To add romantic reality, the lead players, George Bailey and his wife, are played by a married couple, Adri Boodoosingh, a policy editor at 8 Wing, Trenton and his wife, Heather is a program co-ordinator at Loyalist College. Guardian angel Clarence is played by Chris Thompson while Bob Carter plays the mean Mr. Potter, who owns most of the town. Several actors play multiple roles in a total cast of 23 plus plenty of back stage help. The Westminster Players have performed several shows over the years but this full-length show is one of the most challenging they have done so far. Most of the costumes were loaned by The Belleville Theatre Guild. Tickets are $15 per person, $10 for children, available at the church office on the Wallbridge Loyalist Road just north of Highway 401, telephone (613) 968-4304 or Elizabeth at (613) 8499889 or Julie at (613) 391-9590.

BY JACK EVANS
Belleville - If a good laugh is one of the things on your Christmas wish list, the Belleville Theatre Guild has just to “ticket” for you. Guild players are re-staging the hilarious farce, “Noises Off,” to run Nov. 30 through Dec. 16. This play is considered by many to be the most humorous play-within-a-play farce ever written. It was first put on by the guild quite a few years ago, but is coming back, directed by Dave Henderson and with a cast embracing many of the guild’s most experienced actors, a number of them winners in various categories of Eastern Ontario Drama League awards. This is a complex play, both in the size of the cast and the need to change elaborate sets several times between the three acts. Director Henderson has even suggested that activity might be worthwhile for the audience to actually watch rather than skip out for a coffee or break. “This is a very talented cast,” he commented at a recent rehearsal, “and the play is one of the funniest I have ever seen.”
The plot is a theatre cast is putting on a fictitious play called “Nothing On,” but both on stage and back stage there is conflict, naughtiness and insanely hilarious antics and lines. Because the actors play themselves back stage and their show characters on stage, most are performing dual roles. Written by English playwright Michael Frayn, it was inspired by a true incident when Frayn witnessed a production from a back stage vantage and found the antics of the cast back stage were at least as funny if not moreso than the play itself. He decided he should write a play about his experience. It was later made into a motion picture with a high-powered cast, including Carol Burnett and Christopher Reeves, but the movie was not as successful. Characters include a demanding and sarcastic director, an alcoholic actor and lust-stricken actors and actresses and generous plates of sardines. Cast members are: Moira Nikander Forrester, Wendy Roy, Maija Thompson, Wayne Clark, Lynn Fennell, Rob Lloyd, Heather Barker, Devon Carey and Scott Roodvoets.

For The Love of a Song bids farewell to fans in 2017 Belleville – A Belleville Christmas season tradition for music fans continues on the weekend of Dec. 1 and 2. But, this will be the last time. The cast of For The Love of a Song have been rehearsing for their 2017 performance; the final in the history of the series, says producer and director Susan Walsh. The finals shows take place at the Maranatha Church auditorium on Friday, Dec. 1 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 2 at 2 p.m. The “final farewell” show will include Broadway showstoppers, 40s big band hits, 80s classic rock, a visit to Santa’s workshop and seasonal favourites. Special guests include The Commodores Orchestra and Tawny’s School of Dance. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased in advance at the church (Tuesday to Friday) or by calling 613-962-2062. They’re also available at the door. The show raises funds for Belleville’s Christmas Sharing Program and Adopt-A-Child. “Although we are sad to see it all end, we are so proud of how our shows have supported much needed programs in the City for the past 10 years,” said Walsh. “We love to perform and that is so evident when you see one of our shows. Being able to do something we are so
passionate about and contribute so much to the community at the same time is very rewarding.” “We are sad to say goodbye and have had an awesome musical journey, but sometimes change is good for everyone. These variety shows actually started in the 1990s, but I gave them up after five years due to the incredible amount of work required combined with my full time job workload, and, a desire to devote more time to other musical projects including ‘Harmonie’ and ‘The Cadillacs Showband’.” “When my mother passed away in 2007 she had a dying wish that I bring back the ‘For The Love of a Song’ shows as they had been a huge success in the audiences’ eyes, and, had raised much needed funding for several nonprofit organizations in the city. “Well, it’s been 10 years Mom and I think you would have been so proud of what we’ve accomplished!” Walsh asks that fans who’ve enjoyed the show send comments to the group’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ fortheloveofasong
